The vessels which are anchored at the Gazimagusa Harbor (occupied Famagusta) will move to the port of Girne (occupied Kyrenia) tomorrow where curious and interested visitors will be able to visit and tour the ships on the 15th of November.
[02] Ferdi Sabit Soyer is holding contacts in London
Ankara Anatolia news agency (12.11.05) reported the following from London: Greek Cypriots, who were admitted to the EU without any settlement in Cyprus, have lost their motivation for a solution, TRNC (occupied territories of the Republic of Cyprus) (self-styled) Prime Minister Ferdi Sabit Soyer said on Friday.
Giving a conference at the London School of Economics on the first day of his six-day visit to Britain, Soyer said: ''The EU project was in fact a step to unite all Europe. But unfortunately, this project has turned into one that has brought separation in Cyprus.''
Soyer stated that `TRNC� was supporting a settlement under a UN plan which was based on equality of the two peoples living in Cyprus.
Underlining the importance of ending of `isolation� of Turkish Cypriots, Soyer said that this was a humanitarian duty.
Moreover, illegal Bayrak television (13.11.05) broadcast the following:
Prime Minister Ferdi Sabit Soyer is continuing with his contacts in London.
The Prime Minister - who has been having contacts in London since Friday met with Turkish Cypriot businessmen this afternoon.
Tomorrow, he will attend a panel organized by one of the worlds leading think-tanks - the Chatham House.
On Tuesday, Mr Soyer will be attending special events marking the 22nd anniversary of the establishment of the `Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus�.
In line with his contacts there, `Prime Minister� Soyer will also meet with the Friends of Cyprus Parliamentary Group from the House of Commons.
[03] Talat: 2006 will bring mobility to the Cyprus problem
Turkish Cypriot daily KIBRIS newspaper (12.11.05) reports under the above title and says that the self-styled President in the occupied territories of the Republic of Cyprus, Mehmet Ali Talat had said that Turkey-European Union (EU) relations will force the solution.
Expressing the view that in 2006, pressure on Turkey, to open its ports and airports to Cyprus-registered ships and planes, will increase, Talat said that despite this increased pressure, Turkey will not open its ports and airports to Cyprus ships and planes unless the isolations imposed on the Turkish Cypriots were eased.
As a result of this, pointed out Mr Talat, there will be crises and these crises, will lead to mobility in the Cyprus problem. Mr Talat stressed that if one properly exploits these crises, then the Cyprus problem could be solved.
Talat warned that unless the Cyprus problem is settled within five years, then this will give birth to very serious dangers to the EU. Talat noted that Turkey will not give in to any pressure. Mr Talat stressed that the Turkish Cypriot community will not give up the position it is holding today that is ruling itself and electing its rulers.
Referring to his meeting with the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Talat said that they have discussed the Cyprus problem and the so-called isolations imposed on the Turkish Cypriots. Talat said that Mrs Rice conveyed the message that she has supported Turkish Cypriots reunification policy.
As regards the direct flights, Talat said that he has been told in the USA that it would be more appropriate in removing so-called isolations to start direct flights from Britain rather than from the USA. Talat further said that the so-called TRNC representative office in the USA is making attempts so that US troops in the region have their holidays in the north Cyprus.
Mr Talat repeated his known views that it is the Greek Cypriot leadership that charted a separatist policy in Cyprus. He claimed that Turkish Cypriots with their actions demonstrated that they are for the reunification in Cyprus.
[04] Endless problems for the buyers of the stolen Greek Cypriot properties in occupied Cyprus
Turkish Cypriot weekly CYPRUS TODAY (12-18.11.05) publishes two reports under the title `Don�t panic� plea as Amaranda Valley Aga office closes and Home Buyers `fear for their lives�.
The first report refers to the Amaranda Valley project at occupied Klepini and analyses what the process will be now since the occupied Kyrenia-based company closed its offices, as follows:
People waiting to hear about their homes in the Amaranta Valley project at Arapkoy (occupied Klepini) were left in further doubt this week when the parent company�s office closed.
Girne-based (occupied Kyrenia) Aga Developments whose absent boss Gary Robb is still in Thailand shut its office due to a lack of funds to pay the rent.
Work recently ground to a halt on the project when Robb�s financial assets were frozen by `TRNC� government, leaving doubts about whether it would ever be finished.
But a senior government minister has urged customers not to panic as he set up a special committee on Monday to look into the whole Aga Development situation.
Hasan Findic, the (self-styled) Under-secretary of the `Ministry of Interior� has formed a team of architects and engineers to look into the company�s finances.
They aim to establish whether the project could be finished under the preset situation, but guaranteed the `government� would step in to help if not.
Mr Findic said: We need to carefully study how much money is needed by investigating all the properties ones nearly built and those still at the foundation stage.
I think that we will be able to figure out how much money is needed to complete the houses within a few weeks.
The second report describes Metin Huseyin�s story who left Australia with his family to return to his country, but lives in fear because the house he bought in occupied Ayios Epiktitos is claimed by others.
Writes the paper:
Metin Huseyin brought a property on the Hz Omer Estate at Catalkoy (occupied Ayios Epiktitos) for Pounds 98,000 in September, only to find the house had no electricity or running water and open power cables had been left running across the street where his four children play every day.
He also claims his wife and children were threatened one weekend when he was away by two people who said they owned the land on which the house was built.
Now, he said, the family is living in the most basic conditions, with only a small generator for power and he is worried sick about telephone calls he is getting telling them to leave their home.
Mr Huseyin said he had not had any success in getting the electricity or water supply connected to their home and was so fed up with the situation that he was considering taking his family back to Sydney.
He said: The electricity board people laughed at us, made fun of us and humiliated us when we tried to get a supply.
I had to take my kids out of school because they were not able to do their homework or read books at nights.
Worst of all, we have no water in the house because the pump is not functioning due to a lack of electricity.
We are living without hygiene and the bugs are eating us alive, and now we are getting threatening telephone calls from I don�t know who, telling us to leave the property.
There are a couple more houses on the street owned by British people which do not have any electricity, and I am trying to solve the problem for all the neighbourhood, not just ourselves.
He said there were around 60 houses, with only about 30 of them having electricity, and the estate was a mixture of finished, partly finished or not even started houses.
Residents were suffering nervous breakdowns, health and family problems and he said many people were searching for ways to leave the island and invest their money elsewhere.
[05] The self styled assembly will discuss the Maritime Authority Zones Draft-Law in the occupied territories of the Republic of Cyprus
Turkish Cypriot daily VATAN newspaper (14.11.05) reports that the self styled assembly will discuss today the Maritime Authority Zones Draft-Law in the occupied territories of the Republic of Cyprus.
According to the paper, the draft-law declares for the first time the so-called Neighbouring Zone and the Restricted Economic Zone and gives the self styled TRNC sovereign rights and the jurisdiction in the above-mentioned sea zones. It has arrangements in many fields, including the archeological and the natural resources.
The paper writes that the draft-law provides for the punishment of up to ten years imprisonment and one million new Turkish Liras fine for those who do not apply its conditions.
According to the general justification of the draft-law, the necessity for its preparation was created after the Republic of Cyprus determined by law its maritime authority zones.
The law, except the three articles providing for the offenses and the punishments, will be valid as from 21 March 2003.
Turkish Cypriot daily VOLKAN newspaper (14.11.05) refers to the issue under the front-page banner title Our economic sovereignty zone in the sea is 200 Miles.
I/Ts.
[06] Talat�s regime is accused of preparing the ground for the non-solution
Under the banner front-page title There is no solution, Turkish Cypriot daily ORTAM newspaper (14.11.05) writes that Talat�s regime is preparing the ground for the non-solution in Cyprus.
The paper notes the following:
President Talat and the CTP-DP government, who came to power showing as their target the solution and the European Union, are preparing to give the American soldiers, who are in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East a vacation base in Northern Cyprus!
While until before his visit to the USA the President of the TRNC Talat demanded the lifting of the isolations, after his return he began demanding the decrease of the isolations!
Talat, who stated that they were undertaking initiatives so that the US troops in the region to make their vacations in the TRNC, is planning to achieve in that manner the landing of US planes in the TRNC!
After the US soldiers and airplanes come to the TRNC, the isolations will be decreased. Until the vacation of the US soldiers ends, reaching a solution in Cyprus could not even be discussed.
According to President Talat, the soldiers too are making vacations. If Cyprus is a country for vacations the US soldiers could come for vacations just like Ayse came once in Cyprus. (Translators note: The phrase Ayse goes for vacation was the secret code for the beginning of the second phase of the Turkish invasion in Cyprus in 1974).
[07] KIBRIS: A delegation from the Chamber of Industry went to Syria
Turkish Cypriot daily KIBRIS newspaper (12.11.05), reports under the above title and says that a delegation, from the Turkish Cypriot Chamber of Industry, headed by its chairman Salih Tunar left for Syria yesterday for number of contacts there.
During the four-day visit the delegation will visit cities, Damascus, Aleppo, Homs, and Hama and will hold contacts with the local Chamber of Commerce and Industry officials, where they will look into possibilities to do business jointly.
The visit which is organized by Adana Chamber of Commerce, will also include delegations from Adana Chamber of Commerce and Adapazari Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
KIBRIS reports that the delegation will also visit the Turkish embassy in Damascus and the Turkish consulate General in Aleppo. The Turkish Cypriot delegation will return to the occupied area via Adana.
[08] Akinci: Its time to ask for our rights deriving from the Republic of Cyprus. Tomorrow will be too late!
Under the title Akinci has warned us! We are buried in a gambling underworld, Turkish Cypriot daily AFRIKA newspaper (13.11.05) reported that the leader of the Peace and Democracy Movement (BDH), Mr Mustafa Akinci, in a written statement yesterday, said: With the current situation, they are turning us into an underworld existing outside of international law, where Turkish Cypriots and the North will become a Taiwan, a state with a lot of casinos, night clubs and betting offices, which would also be serving US soldiers. Mr Akinci also noted that during the most recent visit of the Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat to the US, the issue of US soldiers vacationing in the occupied territories of the Republic of Cyprus was also discussed.
Referring to his partys proposals regarding the Cyprus issue, Mr Akinci said that the fenced-off town of Varosha should be given back to its former owners and a number of Turkish troops should be withdrawn from the island. He also added that the time has come for the Turkish Cypriots to claim their rights accorded to them by the Republic of Cyprus and warned that it would be too late to claim them in the future.
Mr Akinci criticized the self-styled coalition government of the Republican Turkish Party- Democrat Party (CTP-DP) for pursuing fruitless policies, especially regarding the lifting of the Turkish Cypriotss international isolation, and added that the expectation that the isolation will be lifted and Mr Papadopoulos will return to the negotiation table is inadequate and unworkable by itself.
[09] Turkish Cypriots are being treated as if they live in a militarist regime
Turkish Cypriot daily AFRIKA newspaper (13.11.05) reported that the self-styled police raided on the house of the Financial Secretary of the Turkish Cypriot Secondary School Trade Union (KTOEOS), Mr Sedat Kilic, at midnight on Friday on the pretext that there were explosive materials in his house.
Commenting on the raid the Chairman of KTOEOS, Mr Adnan Eraslan, said that it is very sad incident and added: This operation is an intimidation operation. We condemned those who did that.
In its front page, todays AFRIKA newspaper (14.11.05), under the title Who gave the order?, reported that the operation of the self-styled police on the house of Sedat Kilic showed once again that a militarist regime exists in the occupied territories of the Republic of Cyprus.
The paper reported that there has not been any statement yet on who gave the order to the police.
[10] Thailands Prime Minister Shinawatra said that his country will do whatever is necessary to remove the isolation of the Turkish Cypriots
Illegal BAYRAK television (12.11.05) reports that Thailands Prime Minister, Mr Thaksin Shinawatra, has said that Turkey and Thailand should work shoulder to shoulder on important issues such as the Cyprus problem.
Speaking at a joint press conference with the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Mr. Shinawatra said that his country will do whatever is necessary to remove the isolation of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (occupied territories of the Republic of Cyprus).
Stressing that Thailand must act together with Turkey to be able to get the best outcome on this issue, Mr. Shinawatra said the following: As two friendly nations Thailand and Turkey must work together on important issues such as the Cyprus problem. He concluded by saying that he had ordered the Foreign Ministry of Thailand to research what could be done to help ease the isolation of the Turkish Cypriots.
[11] Dr Sonmez of the Memorial Hospital suggested the creation of a heard surgery centre in occupied Cyprus
Turkish Cypriot daily HALKIN SESI newspaper (14.11.05) reports that Dr Bingur Sonmez, who is a famous heard surgeon at the Heard and Vessels Surgery Section of the Memorial Hospital, stated that he demanded the creation of a heard surgery centre in the occupied territories of the Republic of Cyprus (OTRC).
As the paper writes, during contacts he held in the OTRC, Mr Sonmez met Mr Esref Vaiz, the self-styled minister of health and social welfare and he suggested to found the centre and offer it as a present to the self-styled ministry of health.
He also stated that this possibility will be a good lack for the persons who suffer from heard problems since instead of being sent abroad, it will be possible to receive treatment in the OTRC.
[12] Panic was created after a Turkish Cypriot hunter found a dead partridge in the occupied Arsos village
Turkish Cypriot daily HALKIN SESI newspaper (14.11.05) reports that a Turkish Cypriot hunter, who went hunting in the occupied Arsos village, found a dead partridge and handed it over to the veterinary section in the occupied territories of the Republic of Cyprus (OTRC).
The paper writes that this incident created panic in the OTRC, at a time the discussion of the threat of bird flu is going on all over the world.
[13] Columnist in the New Anatolian assesses the rumours on domestic and foreign policy issues currently on in Ankara. The occupied areas to be used by the Americans against Syria?
Ankara The New Anatolian (13.11.05) publishes the following article by Kemal Balci under the title: "Capital whispers":
Nowadays there are many whispers in the back corridors of Ankara politics. The things that most strike the ear are usually said in low voices by people with poker-face expressions, rather than what is expressed openly in higher voices. Every event has an apparent side which is seen by the public on one hand, and a terrifying, hidden side which gets whispered into selective ears.
The topic now being whispered among government circles is Idris Gulluce, who was also called Istanbul's mayor behind the curtains, rather than the official mayor. The rumor is spreading that Gulluce, who was removed from office at midnight by a coup, has $25 million in a bank account. Claims that the prime minister ordered his removal after he received the documents about Gulluce's bank accounts cannot be silenced.
The reason behind the prime minister's order to remove Gulluce from office, while he backs State Minister Nimet Cubukcu, is his determination to remain in office until 2007. The rumors indicate that the prime minister will not go for early elections before the presidential elections whatever the costs may be.
According to the scenario circulating among government circles, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is determined to run for the presidency, had designated a name that would elude all speculation and predictions, to succeed him. If his purported plans, which are said to be causing tension within the ruling party, would be realized, Erdogan will nominate Energy Minister Hilmi Guler, rather than Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul, as prime minister in May 2007.
While the AK Party is writing scenarios that are unlikely to be realized, some other organs of the state, particularly the armed forces, are producing other "iron scenarios," regarding the touchy events in the countries of the region, which are becoming inevitable gradually. Behind the deep silence of the military on the stage, there are raging debates over possible dangerous developments. For example, there are rumors about the possibility that the increasing U.S. interest in Northern Cyprus is explained by its aim to use it as a launching pad for a possible military intervention of Syria. Everybody accepts that the U.S. keeps a ready intervention scenario at hand, that includes the separation of the country, unless Syria does not democratize on its own. Although Erdogan's government is too busy with its plans around short-term interests, the concern that new developments in Syria may threaten the territorial integrity of Turkey dominate among the military and civilian bureaucracy. Therefore, the intentional disinterest of the government due to its religious sensitivity or its inability to follow the developments in the world outside the EU framework, doesn't bind the bureaucracy's hands. Although they try to keep it secret, one can still see that there is an effort for an active direction of the developments in line with Turkey's national interests, rather than silently watching the developments that would turn all the power balances upside down in the region.
The government is also vacillating regarding Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) terrorism. The statements made once in a while are nothing more than efforts to save the day. If the PKK stepped up its violence in the region and follow the example of the Paris suburbs, the government may have no chance but to establish emergency rule. Only that possibility is enough to disturb the government's plans regarding the presidential elections. The state bureaucracy is building strategies against the possibility that a Kurdistan state found in northern Iraq would have an area of expansion extending to Turkey and to Lazkie in Syria, behind closed doors. On the other hand, the government is too busy making plans over the presidency and exploiting all of its power. It wants to go on its way, taking the claims of documented corruption as tiny accidents. But it's not farfetched that the little whispers about big cases of corruption could turn into a bomb that explodes loudly. Just as it is possible that the PKK terrorism steps up, and an operation in Syria gets carried out.
It may not be possible to understand everything going on in the world. Just like, it's impossible to comprehend that nine or so people caught in a New York subway by a CIA-France joint operation are Mossad agents. But the developments surrounding us are not that complicated all the time. Even the government could understand them in a short while if it tried. Otherwise, if its disinterest persists, it may not find a civilian voice to wake it up from its dreamy world, just like former Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan saying that he will produce 40,000 tanks without even thinking about where he would put them.

Diversions: "A Trip to the Moon on Gossamer Wings"
"A Trip to the Moon on Gossamer Wings"
Here is another Illustration Friday submission (click to enlarge). The theme was "insects".I wanted to try to play with photo-collage this time. I think it lacks a little of the depth that I wanted it to have, but over all, I like the way it turned out. I think there are lots of '"techniques" here that are all different, but still mesh well together.
The name "A Trip to the Moon on Gossamer Wings" comes from an old Cole Porter song. I think it fits this little illustration beautifully.
If any of you are interested in this as a desktop wallpaper, I might be able to do that. Just let me know in the comments!
Beautiful light - in the moon and dragonfly. Nice!
beautiful illustration, what are else are you going to use this for?
princess- nothing really. just for illo. friday fun! Stretching my brain, sort of thing.
Very nice. I like the contrast between the oriental looking background and the more perfect sort of computer illustration of the insect.
Ooh, very nice indeed. I like it on all its levels.. the background, the glow, the colors, everything.
Mary, I've been doing Illo Fri for a while, and thought I was the only Alabamian. This past week, I discovered several.I've always viewed every entry,but it's grown soo much,that's becoming impossible!
nice! i'm really diggin' this one.

UT Knoxville kicks off yearlong celebration of 50 years of African American achievement
by Torchbearer Staff February 21, 2011
Earlier this month, UT Knoxville kicked off the 50th anniversary of the admission of its first African American undergraduate students and the rich legacy of African American achievement campus-wide.
Administrators, faculty, staff, students, and community members began the kickoff event on February 1 by marching from the Torchbearer statue to the Carolyn P. Brown Memorial University Center. Theotis Robinson Jr. and Charles Blair, two of the first three African American undergraduates at UT, led the march. (Willie Mae Gillespie joined Robinson and Blair on January 4, 1961, as the first African American undergraduate students to attend classes at UT Knoxville.)
At the University Center, UT alumna and Olympic Gold Medalist Benita Fitzgerald Mosley delivered a keynote address to a standing-room-only audience.
Throughout 2011, other events and celebrations will be held. Visit achieve.utk.edu for information on future activities and further information about the history of African American achievement at the University of Tennessee. Also take time to view some alumni memories or share one of your own.
If you would like further information on the yearlong celebration, contact Charles Houston (865-974-3011) or Annazette Houston (865-974-6087) or e-mail 50thaaau@utk.edu.

I entered the Masters Degree program along with two other African Americans H. Blanton, Andra Hammonds in the mid 50, Harry and I got our EdD in 1961 and Hammonds went on to get a PhD from UT. Are the records clear on that?? There was another one there, Ralph Martin along with his and he received his Ed.D. We were not allowed to stay nor eat on campus, then.

«Садист» (), также выходил под названиями Profile of Terror и Sweet Baby Charlie — американский чёрно-белый триллер 1963 года режиссёра Джеймса Лэндиса. Дистрибьюторами фильма стали Fairway International Pictures в США, и Prima Film в Канаде.

Сюжет фильма является вольной интерпретацией преступлений, совершённых Чарльзом Старквезером и его подружкой Кэрил Фьюгейт. Также их история легла в основу фильмов «Пустоши» (1973), «Убийство в провинции» (1993) и «Прирождённые убийцы» (1994).

Сюжет
Трое школьных учителей — Эд Стайлз, Дорис Пейдж и Карл Оливер едут через Южную Калифорнию в Лос-Анджелес, чтобы посмотреть матч Доджерс. Автомобиль Chevrolet Bel Air, на котором они путешествуют, выходит из строя, и они решают заехать на находящуюся неподалёку свалку/автомастерскую. После небольшого осмотра Стайлз делает вывод, что необходимо заменить топливоподкачивающий насос. Они осматривают территорию свалки в поисках владельца, но никого не находят.

В доме Оливер находит ещё тёплую пищу и стол, накрытый на четверых. После этого троица собирается как можно быстрее покинуть это место, но внезапно появляется вооружённый кольтом рослый подросток Чарли Тиббс вместе со своей девушкой Джуди Брэдшоу и берёт их на мушку. Эта парочка на протяжении последних нескольких дней едет из Аризоны, и «ради забавы» совершила несколько хладнокровных убийств. Под угрозой смерти он заставляет Стайлза починить машину, так как им необходимо сменить средство передвижения, чтобы отвлечь разыскивающую их полицию. Пока Стайлз чинит автомобиль, Тиббс и Джуди развлекаются тем, что жестоко издеваются над заложниками.

В ролях

Производство
Съёмки фильма проходили в Ньюхолле, Калифорния. Он был снят известным оператором Вилмошем Жигмондом за двухнедельный период и стоил 33,000 долларов. Садист стал первым американским фильмом Жигмонда.

Релиз
Первоначально предполагалось выпустить фильм в паре (double feature) с кинолетной Рэя Денниса Стеклера «Невероятно странные создания, которые перестали жить и превратились в зомби» (1964), но Стеклер отложил выход своего фильма, так как чувствовал, что приоритет на двойном билете достанется Садисту. Позднее Арч Холл-младший говорил, что в любом случае это была плохая идея.

В 1963 году фильм был запрещён к показу на территории Великобритании. Его полная версия появилась в Британии на видео в 1999 году.
В 2007 году независимая компания Apprehensive Films издала его на DVD.

Факты

 Садист является любимым фильмом режиссёра Джо Данте, обладающего 35мм плёнкой фильма, которая становилась источником для многих DVD-изданий.
 Ричард Альден заявлял, что в целях экономии денег в фильме использовались настоящие боеприпасы. Арч Холл-младший, являвшийся метким стрелком, сообщил журналистам, что после провала нескольких попыток выстрелить холостыми пулями он решил стрелять настоящими над головами других актёров и они согласились, в результате чего несколько выстрелов в фильме полностью реальны.
 При создании образа психопата-убийцы Арч Холл-младший взял за основу Томми Удо из фильма 1947 году Поцелуй смерти.
 Чарльзу Старквезеру и Кэрил Фьюгейт, за основу которых были взяты персонажи Чарли и Джуди, на самом деле было 19 и 14 лет соответственно. В фильме же, хотя Джуди и ведёт себя словно 14-летний подросток, по радио сообщают что Чарли 20 лет, а ей 18. Это было сделано, чтобы избежать проблем с цензорами.
 Арч Холл-младший и Хелен Хоуи в реальной жизни являются кузенами, мать Хоуи была сестрой отца Холла.
 Двоих мотополицейских сыграли настоящие полицейские, занимавшиеся эскортом и находившиеся не при исполнении.

It's all in the planning! For moms-to-be, the best advice for an easy birth and easy transition into motherhood is to organize yourself as best you can before your baby's arrival. Having a birth plan can help you make the most out of your birthing experience. A birth plan will outline what you hope to happen during your birthing experience like who you want in the room with you, what kind of props you desire to help you through the contractions (such as music to listen to or pictures to look at), what kind of pain medications you may want to take to ease your labor pain, and the overall mood you hope to achieve in your birthing room.
It's also a great idea to keep a pregnancy journal so that later on your child can be a part of this special time in your life. Record your feelings about the pregnancy and upcoming birth and writing down anything you can while in labor to let your baby know about the day he was born. But before you start thinking too far ahead, you'll want to make sure you and your partner have a solid relationship plan that will carry you into the future.
Who is going to be in the room with you when you deliver? Here is what both of you should know about the duties of a labor coach. Choose wisely as this person will be the rock you will need to lean on when the pain becomes too much and your energy levels begin to drop.

Rockies Refuse to Spoil Playoff Hopes of San Francisco
By Andrew Mckinley
Aug 31, 2016; Denver, CO, USA; Colorado Rockies left fielder David Dahl (26) and center fielder Charlie Blackmon (19) and right fielder Carlos Gonzalez (5) congratulate each other following the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Coors Field. The Rockies defeated the Dodgers 7-0. Mandatory Credit: Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports /
Tonight the Rockies looked to spoil the Giants chances of making the playoffs by working in conjunction with the Cardinals. The Cardinals did their job by winning on a walk-off double (however fishy it may have been). The Rockies had their chances to play spoiler for the Dodgers and weren't able to pull it off due to pitching issues (sound familiar?), and a few ridiculous errors. The wheels fell off in the 6th, with several base hits, a few errors, and some all-around bad playing, giving the Giants a 5-2 lead. The Giants added on later, ending the night and winning the game 7-2.
The Rockies got the bats rolling quickly, driving in two runs on three extra-base hits, one of which was by Nolan Arenado, giving him a career high 131 RBIs. After giving up two runs on three hits in the first, Giants starter Johnny Cueto seemed to settle in. Although the Rockies had a base hit in each inning, nothing of consequence came from it. The Rockies bats were quiet for the rest of the game, managing only a couple of softly hit balls.
Jon Gray was on his game early today. After giving up a leadoff walk, Gray settled in and moved through the lineup with ease. He gave up a pair of runs in the fourth, but never appeared to lose control. In the 6th inning Gray was pulled after the Rockies gave up three runs and committing two errors. If you want to look at a silver lining, at least it wasn't the bullpen.
The Rockies gave up another two runs in the 8th and played another bullpen dance, switching pitchers around trying to find a 'perfect matchup' to get the final out of the inning.
Here are a few takeaway's from tonight's game… as bleak as it was.
1.) Rockies are allergic to spoiling postseason dreams
The Rockies have had several opportunities in the last two games to send a team home for the postseason and not to the playoffs. Both times we find a way to send our enemies charging forward into October with a moral (and actual) victory. After everything the fans have gone through this season, is it really too much to ask? We just want a little satisfaction knowing that we send the Giants home too.
2.) We have a lot of young talent
David Dahl only continues to get better with time… which should scare opponents because he came into the league on fire. Tom Murphy is also looking incredibly promising and will develop into a great catcher, given some time. Jordan Patterson got an AB in the ninth as well.
Combine that with the strong rookie pitchers that we have and the Rockies are looking pretty good for a couple of years. This is assuming we can keep our core group together and greatly strengthen out the bullpen.
3.) DJ wasn't in the lineup
One notable absence from the game was DJ LeMahieu. Apparently manager Walt Weiss is trying to help him win a batting title by protecting his batting average. It is said that he will play against Milwaukee in the final series of the season, and the odds are looking good for a National League batting title coming to Denver.
Next: Colorado Rockies Not Playing Spoiler Role Very Well
Which is something that we all need at this point in the season.

The information contained in your prescription is the lens power required to correct your vision problems. It consists of sphere power, cylinder power, cylinder axis, bifocal addition, and prism power. Your prescription may or may not contain all of these numbers. However your pupillary distance (PD) measurement is needed to complete your order.
Note: If your prescription is more than one year old, we at Rx Frames N Lenses recommend that you update your prescription by visiting your local Optometrist.
Sphere: Correction for long or short sight. This can be a plus '+' or minus '-' value.
Cylinder: This is a correction for astigmatism if you have one. This can be a plus '+' or minus '-' value. You may or may not have a value of cylinder in your prescription.
Axis: The axis for which the correction for astigmatism needs to be set at. This will be present only if you have a value in cylinder. This can be a number between 1 and 180.
Addition: ("Add") Additional plus power in the lower portion of a multifocal lens, that is required for near vision in progressive, bifocal, or trifocal lenses.
Prism: This is not normally filled in on your prescription. Occasionally, when the two eyes are not properly aligned and looking at the same thing, prism can be ground into the lenses to re-align them.
Base: "Base In", "Base Out", "Base Up", and "Base Down" are the four positions for prism in eyeglasses. Orientations between the four positions can be specified by using combinations of horizontal and vertical prisms in the same lens.
Pupillary distance (PD): Your PD is the distance from the center of the pupil (black spot) in one eye to the center of the pupil in the other eye. Your PD measurement improves the positioning of your lenses within the eyeglass frame. Be sure that you ask for your PD measurement when you have your eyes examined and have it added to your prescription.
Your PD is the distance from the center of the pupil (black spot) in one eye to the center of the pupil in your other eye. Your PD measurement improves the positioning of your lenses within the eyeglass frame. Be sure you ask for your PD measurement when you have your eyes examined and have it added to your prescription.
The PD in this example is 58 millimeters. W e recommend you get your PD measurement with your prescription or have your local optician measure it for you. Most optical shops will do this free of charge or for a small fee.
To measure your own P.D. simply put on a pair of eyeglasses and have a helper use a NON-PERMANENT marker and mark a dot in the center of each pupil on your eyeglasses.
to the left pupil (center) and measure straight across to the right pupil (center). Be sure to keep the ruler straight and measure in millimeters.
With hundreds of frames in all shapes, sizes, and colors to choose from, picking the right frame for you can be confusing. However this guide can help you determine which frames will fit and look best on you by your face shape. Once you determine the shape of your face and the size of your frame the rest is easy. By wearing a contrasting frame shape, you will compliment the shape of your face. Frames should enhance the shape and features of your face.
The first number 47 is the lens diameter.
The second number 19 is the nose bridge width.
The third number 130 is the earpiece length.
Note: Lens height (B Vertical) must be a minimum of 28mm to accommodate a bifocal or multifocal lens.
Note: There is an acceptable deviation of 2mm in these measurements. Therefore, you do not have to be exact.
How to choose a frame to suit your face shape?
This guide is for general purposes only and you should pick your eyewear based upon your individual taste. However most people generally fall into the following categories.
Since the shape of your face is well balanced, you can wear most frames.
A soft angular or rectangle shape frame can make your face appear longer and thinner.
Frame suggestion: Wider frames with angular, rectangular or square shaped.
You can reduce the sharp angles of a square face by choosing soft, curvy frames such as ovals or cat-eyes.
Widen and shorten the appearance of an oblong face by wearing frames that do not extend beyond the widest part of your face. Round or square shaped frames will look best on you. Your face will appear wider and shorter.
Choose a frame that is slender, rounded or squared but avoid a frame that has a greater width at the top.
This would depend on your prescription. Generally you want your lens to be thin and lightweight for comfort and be cosmetically appealing.
A lens with one focal power, usually a correction for near-sightedness, far-sightedness, and/or astigmatism.
A bifocal is added to the single vision lens for near vision. There are now two focal powers in the one lens.
These lenses feature change from distance vision to near vision providing an infinite range of powers in between. This now gives you distance, intermediate and reading without a visible line. This is commonly refered to as "no-line bifocals".
These lenses are great for the high plus "+" lenses. They reduces the center thickness of the lens, making the wearers eyes appear more realistic in size. The reduced center thickness of the lens makes it thinner, lighter and more cosmetically appealing.
High index lenses are great for high minus "-" lenses. These lenses allow you to have one of the thinnest lightest lens possible, making them more cosmetically appealing.
Can you put lenses into my old frame?
Yes we do make lenses for your old frame. Contact us with the type of lenses you want along with your frame type whether it is a rimless, semi-rimless, full rim and material such as plastic or metal. We will issue you an order number to put on the outside of the box when sending us your frame.

It should have been no surprise that her paws led them to Poison Path, a familiar place just outside of the Cove. She lightly brushed against her shoulder. Promise not to take anything I say personally? She questioned with ease as her grungy yellow eye locked onto his features. It had taken her courage to even decide to share her thoughts and for once, she wasn't doing any of this out of selfishness or even with a vengeance to take something. No. She had promised to look over the wellbeing of everyone and she was attempting to do just that.
No one had ever said she was the most tactful or graceful creature though.

Once they were out of the cove he let her lead them to a place she wanted to talk. They soon found their way to poison path, it was a good place to have a private conversation. He was thankful the coyotes were gone so they wouldn't be disturbed. His amber eyes fell on her as she brushed against his shoulder. He became a little worried when she requested he didn't take anything personally but he still nodded, "Promise. You'll do the same for me?" He didn't know what she wanted to say but he felt it best to have the same promise from her.
The last thing he wanted was hard feelings between them because either of them had taken things personally. The dark alpha wanted them to work together to make things in the pack better.
Please see OOC Profile for OOC Preferences, Thank you.
It was, admittedly, hard to promise him the same thing and so she felt a bit foolish for making him promise such. Nonetheless, she lightly nodded her head. Of course. Because fair was fair. If she played by his rules perhaps she'd have the best go at this proposition. Only perhaps.
Have you ever considered...moving? She questioned, no malice or harshness in her voice for once. A mountain is a treacherous place despite its beauty to those who live on it. I just think it might be a deterrent for most, especially those who might be seeking a home or alliance. She had intended to become a scout and now...well, now she was a leader of a pack. However permanent or temporary that may be. While she reigned there would still be decisions that needed to be made, big and small.
Kajika felt that starting the conversation on common ground was for the best. He felt it would be more successful if they were in the same place so when she promised his tail gave a quick wag. "Thank you," he said grateful that she had been agreeable to the promise.
He let her speak first so he could get a better idea of what she was thinking. She went right into it, moving the pack. Kajika sat back on his haunches to listen to her reasons 's which he felt were reasonable concerns. "I have considered it a few times in the past," he admitted, "I haven't really talked with anyone about it before though," he added before pausing and looking down at his paws in thought for a moment. "You think this would be best for the pack?" he asked bringing his amber gaze back up to meet hers. Kajika could see how it could be good for everyone but he wanted to hear her thoughts.
There was no sting to his words and she found herself...relieved when he said he had considered it before, just simply hadn't said anything. The question caused her brows to furrow softly. I'm not going to say it would be the best thing for the pack but admittedly, I think it would be a step in the right direction. Look at her, with all of her diplomatic words and air. Granted Birtie felt it would serve her best to keep everything calm and collected. Why have you considered it before? What were your reasons? The Parlow leader questioned with genuine curiosity. Had the reasons changed or were they still the same?
She mimicked his position and reclined into a sitting pose. Perhaps this would be one of their more civil conversations. Which was honestly a bit of a relief to her even if she was the fuse to most of their heated talks.
Having Birtie mention moving the pack brought some relevance to his previous thoughts. It caused him to think that maybe it was worth considering again. He did however have some concerns but those could be discussed during their conversation.
He wanted to know her reasons, perhaps they were the same as his. She could also have ones he hadn't even considered, he wouldn't know until they spoke about them. Firstly he wanted to know if she thought this was the best thing for the pack. He felt it was realistic of her to not know for sure, even he couldn't be sure. Something about what she said however intrigued him, "What do you think is the right direction for the pack?" He asked wondering if she had something specific in mind.
Since she had shared some of her reasons he obliged her when she asked about his. "I've thought it might be good for the pack after the tragedies we've suffered here on the mountain. Give them a chance to start fresh where we aren't haunted by the past. It's pretty isolated here on the mountain and the terrain is harder on those who aren't used to it so moving might make it easier to find members and keep them." He took a breath and gave Birtie the chance to speak.

It's a work in progress, the best thing. I don't want to...upspur any drama so I'm consulting things with you as they come to me. Her shoulders shrugged softly. The process of even getting here had been rough, she had no plans to ruin things now that she was sitting on the throne. She wondered if this would nullify the deal she had made with Moonshadow. It would be a relief honestly. Birtie had been a smidge dishonest when she accepted the deal and a way around it would help things be smoother going forth. The Parlow woman craved stability and reliability. She did not like temporary fixes.
She listened with interest as Kajika spoke. I think we're on the same page. I'm also considering other...future plans. Children and such. Birtie elaborated briefly before her face grew warm. Awkward. She hadn't intended to discuss children already when this year hadn't gone as planned but...well, it was out there now. I think for future children, ours or not, it would be better to raise them somewhere safer. Not so many rough spots or drop-offs. Along with everything else you stated, of course.
As she continued to speak Kajika found that he was rather pleased with her goals. She didn't want any drama and neither did he but most of all he was pleased that she was sharing with him. This would make it easier for them to work together for the betterment of the pack. "A work in progress is fine, things can change so quickly that some plans are hard to solidify. I appreciate you speaking with me as things come to you." All Kajika could ask for was as someone leading next to him that he could discuss things with and come to an agreement.
Lucky was a flexible word. Birtie would not consider them entirely lucky but she supposed it could have gone a hell of a lot worse. The question settled like a weight on her shoulders though. She had not given it much though, truth be told. It had always been a fleeting sort of thought. I...don't know. The Parlow woman admitted as her gaze settled on her partner's features. It depends. If our numbers are still this small come spring, I might pass out of better judgment. I'd wish for any future litters to be just ours but I suppose that might be a bit of an unreasonable order.

Ford Model T Headquarters	bh	2015-08-29T16:18:25+00:00
The Ford Model T Plant was built from 1910-1913 and was located at 91 Manchester Avenue near the corner of Woodward Avenue in Highland Park, Michigan. The Ford Model T Plant was what began the mass production of automobiles on the first ever assembly line. The Ford Model T Plant also was the automobile factory were Henry Ford installed his $5.00 a day work wage. The Ford Model T Plant was located in Highland Park, Michigan. Highland Park is a suburb of Detroit, which is surrounded by Detroit, basically making it an extension of Detroit. Highland Park has suffered from the exact same epidemics as Detroit; such as bankruptcy, corruption, and severe abandonment.
The Model T Plant Headquarters was the administration offices for the entire Ford Motor Company complex. The headquarters was built in 1913 and was designed by Albert Kahn in a Georgian architectural style. The Model T Plant Headquarters was a four-story, red-brick structure that featured beautiful, colorful Pewabic Pottery tiles above each of the windows and around the cornice. The interior of the Model T Plant Headquarters featured a grande staircase made of marble and featured intricate iron railings. The Model T Plant Headquarters also had rare iron and metal fixtures throughout the interior; even the doors and walls were made of precious metals. The "rumor" is that Henry Ford had such an abundance of metals that he built most of the Model T Plant and the Headquarters building in metal.
Until 1973, Ford Motor Company continued to use this plant for building Fordson tractors and tractor parts; as well as processes such as textile production and dying, trim fabrication, machining, production of glass, radiators, roller bearings, wire, and batteries.
In 1981, Ford Motor Company sold the Ford Model T Plant. The former plant served as storage space. The Ford Model T Headquarters was abandoned shortly after Ford Motor Company sold the building in 1981.
As of 2015, the Ford Motel T Plant is still in use as storage space and the Ford Model T Headquarters was purchased by the Woodward Avenue Action Association (WA3) to turn the building into a museum and tourism center. Unfortunately, little work has began on the Ford Motel T Headquarters and it still sits abandoned.

A: I came to this question via Google, so I'll answer what helped me (not directly related to the question).
I use importlib to dynamically import sub-packages given by a string.
import importlib
module_name = 'subpackage.i.import'
special_module = importlib.import_module(module_name, package=None)

This simply has to be adjusted to
import importlib
module_name = 'subpackage.i.import'
special_module = importlib.import_module(module_name, package='my_current_pkg')

A: DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is expected to be a Python module identifier, not a filesystem path. Looking at the django/conf/__init__py file, it seems that a relative path to your settings module won't work there. You will need to move it below a directory listed in your sys.path, or you should add a parent directory to your sys.path and reference your settings module from there.

A: You can also get this error simply if you have a typo in where you're specifying your settings file name.

A: you need to add your project path to sys path just like
sys.path.append("C:\\Users\\ogward\\STUDPROJ")
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = '../cloud_server.settings'

A: *

*may be the settings you set in uwsgi.py is not correct

*the settings path in uwsgi.py(XXXX is in the same dir as uwsgi.py):
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "XXXX.settings")

Ducros, Hélène. 2017. "A Transnational Place-based Label for the 'Glocal Village'." EuropeNow 10, September. Accessed September 28, 2018. <https://www.europenowjournal.org/2017/09/05/a-transnational-place-based-label-for-the-glocal-village/>.


The Ford Mustang has long been a favorite among car enthusiasts. Drake Automotive claims to be the largest maker of parts for Mustangs in the world, with a product range of some 9,000 parts. Scott Drake began his business after restoring Mustangs as a kid with his father.
Huron Capital Partners LLC, which finished last year with a flurry of deals, is off to a fast start in 2016.
The Detroit-based private equity company was expected to announce Monday that it has bought Drake Automotive Group, a Henderson, Nev.-based maker of parts for classic Mustangs and other cars.
Drake focuses on the classic car, off-road and late-model muscle car markets, particularly Ford Mustangs and Broncos. The company claims to be the largest maker of parts for Mustangs in the world, with a product range of some 9,000 parts.
Huron plans to expand Drake's presence to the Detroit area and to use the company as a platform to grow a much larger company through acquisitions and expanded product offerings.
"The timing is coincidental, but it's nice to be able to announce this with the auto show here," Brian Demkowicz, Huron's managing partner, told Crain's. "There will be a lot of people in town who are familiar with the Drake name and its products.
"This is part of a buy-and-build strategy, and there's a lot of runway to do that," said Demkowicz. "We've been looking for a company in the automotive aftermarket. We've had companies in the aftermarket segment before, and we like it."
According to the Specialty Equipment Market Association's 2015 report, the automotive restoration aftermarket parts business is a $1.4 billion industry.
Demkowicz said that while Drake will continue to be headquartered in Henderson, there will be a Detroit-area presence.
"It could be sales, it could be R&D, but part of the growth strategy is having a presence in Detroit," he said. "We want to make inroads in the Detroit community. We're excited about this."
Demkowicz said current Drake management, including founder and CEO Scott Drake, will remain, though Huron will bring on other executives. The company currently employs about 50.
Demkowicz said Huron's due diligence showed that customers considered Drake a premier brand that caters to a passionate group of car enthusiasts.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Demkowicz said the deal fit in with Huron's typical deal parameters of investing between $20 million and $200 million in companies with between $20 million and $200 million in revenue.
Scott Drake, Drake Automotive Group: Excited to work with Huron Capital.
"Drake's revenue would be on the lower end of that," he said.
Drake was founded in 1988 as an outgrowth of a high school shop project.
As a kid, Scott Drake had gotten into restoring Mustangs with his father. For a shop project at Reseda High School near Los Angeles, he designed and built a weather strip for the trunk of his teacher's 1965 Mustang.
The teacher liked it so much, and Drake liked the process so much, that he and his girlfriend immediately started a business, first just making weather strips for Mustang enthusiasts and then branching out to other products.
"Suzanne was my high-school sweetheart and now she's my wife. We've been living the dream," said Drake.
Thirty years later, after he'd built up his successful aftermarket accessories business, Drake restored an old Mustang and gave it to his former shop teacher, Bela Palagyi, in a tearful reunion.
"I'm excited to work with Huron Partners and start the growth initiatives we've been discussing," said Drake. "I'd taken the business as far as I could."
Huron, generally the most active private equity firm in the state, made 19 acquisitions in 2015, in 13 states and two Canadian provinces. It sold its stake in four companies.
Founded in 1999, Huron has raised more than $1.1 billion in four funds. This investment was from the fourth and largest fund of $500 million.

Roku devices are very appealing to consumers, but users don't see what goes on behind the scenes. As the 800 pound gorilla in the streaming space, Roku can leverage their market share to extract usurious terms from content providers. It's no coincidence that it's the biggest players that are fighting back. Hopefully in time consumers will get wise to this, but they have a lot to learn.

The elephant in the room in the Tegna/racism situation is Standard General's ongoing proxy fight. It behooves them to depress Tegna's stock price and make it more vulnerable for acquisition. Fearful stakeholders may be more receptive to Standard's offer as the situation escalates.

She's married to a Portland police officer so she has a degree of familiarity with cop life. Her predecessor in the gig (notwithstanding the current interim spokesperson) was also an ex-broadcaster and served in the position for 32 years.
WCSH reporter Shannon Moss will become the next spokesperson for the Maine State Police https://www.pressherald.com/2021/03/04/well-known-tv-reporter-will-replace-long-time-voice-of-the-maine-state-police/
The RSNs were definitely the cause for Sinclair's woes - their timing couldn't have been worse. That said, the RSNs should in time recover and begin making a positive contribution to their bottom line once in-person attendance at sporting events returns to pre-pandemic levels. The fines are a rounding error on their bottom line by comparison.

General V.K.Singh, Defense Ministry,Tectra deal, Rafael deal and Choppers deal…..And more to come!
I'm pretty sure that most of you, just like me wondering that what is going on? How many loose ends? Which story this is all about? To answer your anxiety, I will try to simplify the mess.
First, this is not about war between General V.K.Singh and Ministry of defense. Second, if you have read my earlier post about a month ago, I have warned about another Bofors in making!
Now the most important key factor that people should know about defense deals i.e. Neither Army nor Air Force and not even Navy, has right to make deal with any group or arms manufacturers. All defense deal been made in Delhi by our politicians and bureaucrats.
Then what do Armed Forces do while making an arms deal?
Government takes suggestion, recommendations and objections of all 3 Chiefs of Armed Forces. They can forward or demand specific requirements of concerned department.
Hence, many arms dealers try to influence the hi – officials of armed forces to win their opinions with the help of middle – men. These middle – men are highly qualified and experienced people, either retired armed forces officers or politically connected highly influential people. They have been paid about 5% – 15% commission for each deal they crack.
Hence, the man who offered General V.K.Singh bribe must be backed by mighty businessman. He tried to influenced General's opinion about trucks.
Now, Rafael deal, there are some irregularities about deal and uncertainties about sharing technology and science. Hopefully, this story will unfolds before us because this is the biggest deal.
There is another scam happening in case of Delhi Police's choppers deal with an Italian company which openly offered bribe to seal the deal in it's official document.
Ministry of defense is the center of all the happenings. The intelligence and wickedness of defense ministry bureaucrats has overtaken the honesty of Mr. Anthony!
Whether it's General V.K.Singh or Anthony, both are honest, one is capable, another helpless politician, their efforts are not enough to crack down the brutal arm lobbies inside the system.
General V.K.Singh has done what he can, going out if his way, A.K.Anthony ordered CBI probe, the last thing he can do, but neither the PM Manmohan Singh nor his headgear Sonia Gandhi care about it!
