Listen to the world's best poetry read out loud.
B. 1878 D. 1917
The simple lack / Of her is more to me / Than others' presence. Edward Thomas, 'The Unknown'
About Edward Thomas
Edward Thomas wrote all his poetry in less than three years, between 1914, when he wrote his first, and 1917, when he was killed in the Battle of Arras. Most of his poems were published posthumously; they show sensitive observation of the countryside, combined with a bleak honesty about his sometimes painful doubts and self criticisms, expressed in the language of everyday speech.
Thomas was born in London in 1878 and attended St Paul's School and Lincoln College, Oxford. Married to Helen while at university, he worked hard to support his family by accepting a wide range of prose commissions; he wrote many volumes of prose and was in demand as a reviewer, a biographer and a topographical writer. Despite his fluency he despised much of this work; his marriage was marred by periodic bouts of depression and his restlessness led him to leave home for periods of several weeks at time.
He befriended and supported the tramp poet, W.H. Davies, and knew several of the poets known as Georgians who took as their subjects the commonplace and everyday. Some of them gathered at a house in Dymock along with the American poet Robert Frost whose friendship was crucial in Thomas's poetic development: in long walks they discussed a style of writing that avoided pomposity and literary flourish in favour of colloquial directness.
Frost introduced to Thomas his concept of 'the sound of sense' (which, incidentally, expresses perfectly what the Poetry Archive as a whole stands to do) using the cadence of speech. Frost persuaded Thomas that he should write poetry and in doing so prompted a remarkable period of creativity for his friend. In June 1914, Thomas was travelling by train and stopped briefly at the now closed station Adelstrop, recording the incident in his notebook. In January 1915, under Frost's influence, he wrote sixteen poems in twenty days; he looked back at his notebook and came across the Adelstrop entry. With great care and several false starts he hit upon the apparently effortless and now famous opening: "Yes, I remember Adelstrop-". This magical poem evokes the Summer before the war, a world already lost but still remembered with longing. It is a war poem without mentioning war, as so many of Thomas's poems are. The short poem 'In Memoriam (Easter 1915)', packing so much into four lines, is a further example.
After much doubt and hesitation, Thomas enlisted in July 1915. 'Rain' was written early in 1916, in hut 51 at the Hare Hall camp in Romford, once again based on a description in his notebooks, this time of a downpour in 1911 along the Icknield Way. Then, in May he wrote 'At the Team's Head-Brass', partly in response to Frost's poem 'The Road not Taken', which is a teasing play on the need to decide between different paths during the course of a life. In 'At the Team's Head-Brass' Thomas questions the notion that we have choices; we have no idea how the choices we make will affect our future: 'If we could see all all might seem good'. Thomas is deciding that going to the front is no longer a choice, but inevitable.
Thomas turned down an offer to remain on the permanent staff as an instructor at Hare Hall camp and volunteered for a commission at the front. On Easter Monday, 1917, the first day of the Arras Offensive, he paused for a moment to fill his pipe. A shell passed so close to him that the blast of air stopped his heart; he died without a mark on his body. Or at least, this is what his widow was told at the time and was believed to be true for many years. However, a letter from his commanding officer that was discovered years later revealed that Thomas was actually "shot clean through the chest".
As well as a choice reading of Thomas's poems made by the contemporary poets James Fenton and Andrew Motion, the Poetry Archive is fortunate to be able to share a recording made by the poet's widow, Helen Thomas, shortly before her death. As a dear wife, but also as companion and confidante, Helen appears both as the implied and named addressee in a number of Thomas's poems. "And you, Helen, what should I give you?" asks the poet in 'Household Poems': "So many things I would give you / Had I infinite great store / Offered me and I stood before / To choose". As such, Helen is perhaps the most apt and sympathetic reader of Thomas's work – a fact that this thoughtful, measured and tender delivery of the poems demonstrates. In 'Aspens', the gently ruminative yet insistent tone of her voice reveals Thomas's lines to be one of melancholy kinship between poet and tree: "Aspens must shake their leaves and men may hear", after all, but they "need not listen, more than to my rhymes".
The other poems that feature in the online selection from this recording are among Thomas's very best. The two sparse quatrains that constitute 'Tall Nettles' read as a terse celebration of nature's ability to reclaim the land from human use and abuse, as the nettles "cover up … the rusty harrow, the plough / Long worn out, and the roller made of stone". This deceptive simplicity of diction, addressing complex ideas and feelings in everyday language, is also evident in 'Lights Out', a poem which Helen introduces as one on whose meaning "Edward never equivocated, and [is] about the sensation of going to sleep". Nevertheless, her powerful reading goes on to suggest how Thomas's words illustrates the ways in which death always looms in the apparently ordinary: "The unfathomable deep / Forest, where all must lose / Their way".
It is in 'Old Man', though, that the poet's quiet genius comes fully to life. Listening to Helen's reading of this poem, in which a man remembers two strange and different names for a plant, Thomas's gift for capturing the direct immediacy of speech and thought in reflecting on the peculiarities of language, sensation and experience is everywhere apparent. As the poet Glyn Maxwell has claimed of the poem, "nowhere else do I find such a combination of plain language and complex perception; nowhere do I find time and memory so active." The same might be said of much of Edward Thomas's best work, refreshing the formal strictures of the iambic pentameter with vision, subtlety, and genuine feeling.
In Edward Thomas's memory, the Poetry Archive will donate 60% of the proceeds from sales of these recordings to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Q: How to fix FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:? (HEROKU) I am trying to push my Django + React app to heroku. I have configured the path for my static files at below in settings.py
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'laundryman_frontend/build/static')
]

The build is successful when I push to heroku but when I run heroku run python manage.py collectstatic I get the error FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/app/laundryman_frontend/build/static'
this is what BASE_DIR is set to:
BASE_DIR=os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
My guess is that, Heroku is not looking does not recognise the path that I have set for the static files.
Kindly help me solve this issue

A: The logic of the code snippets in your question is very simple.

*

*Set BASE_DIR to the directory that contains the manage.py file.
BASE_DIR=os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))

*Set the STATICFILES_DIRS relative to the BASE_DIR.
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'app/laundryman_frontend/build/static')
]

If that "algorithm" doesn't work (i.e. your Django app's static files directory is set incorrectly) then:

*

*manage.py is in the wrong place, or

*the relative path you provided is incorrect, or (maybe)

*some stuff hasn't been deployed.

I guess it is also possible that collectstatic didn't work; see https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django-assets

PRIA Calls For Golden Target Award Entries
By Neil O'Sullivan MPRIA
The Public Relations Institute of Australia (PRIA), the PR and communication professionals' peak national body is calling for entries for its prestigious 2014 Golden Target Awards.
The Awards, running continuously since 1975, recognise and reward excellence in public relations and communications. The 17 Awards this year include 11 for specific practice areas, and 'best-of-the-best' categories including Young PR Professional, PR Consultancy, and In-House PR Professional/Team.
Chaired by Allison Lee, PRIA Fellow and founder of IMPACT Communications the committee includes: The Red Agency/ Havas Managing Director James Wright, winner of Campaign of the Year in 2013; Claire Salvetti, Managing Director of Mango Sydney, who recently judged the Cannes PR Lions; and 2013 PR Educator of the Year, Professor Gwyneth Howell.
PRIA National President Mike Watson said, "The Golden Target Awards attracted nearly 200 outstanding entries last year that help lift the bar in PR and communications practice. We expect that to grow in 2014."
Watson says the Golden Target Awards have integrity as well as longevity. "Award criteria measure both PR outputs and client outcomes. Effective communications campaigns are judged by more than 30 independent PR experts," says Watson.
The Red Agency won 2013 Campaign of the Year for 'Save our Sons', a small charity representing sufferers of Duchenne Muscle Dystrophy. The campaign achieved national prominence via 'The Most Powerful Arm Ever Invented' – the world's first petition signing robot signing for those that cannot. The campaign generated more than 193 media articles, over 60,000 page views, 32,000 signatures, 557 social media posts, secured government action, and the support of a multi-national pharmaceutical company to commence clinical trials for new treatments. The campaign went on to win international PR awards.
Red Agency Managing Director James Wright believes that the value of winning the awards goes beyond simple accolades. "People want to work for award-winning agencies that do amazing work. Awards are vital for talent retention and attraction," says Wright.
Early Bird nominations close 11 August with later entries accepted until 18 August. An entry kit is available from www.goldentargetawards.com.au. Entries are first judged on a State basis with the national winners celebrated at the PRIA's National Conference gala dinner held in Brisbane on 24 November.
Award nominations are open to PRIA members only, although non-member agencies can join and submit. Case studies from 2013 winners are at http://www.pria.com.au/eventsawards/2013

Biografia
Compì gli studi pianistici a Milano, dove si diplomò nel 1932; nel 1937 ottenne il diploma di composizione al conservatorio di Torino, seguendo successivamente dei corsi di perfezionamento con lo zio Gian Francesco Malipiero.

L'interesse per la dodecafonia si fece sentire già nel 1938 e confluì nell'opera Minnie la candida, rappresentata nel 1942 in prima assoluta al Teatro Regio di Parma. diretta da Gianandrea Gavazzeni.

Dal 1945 si avvalse integralmente della tecnica dodecafonica, pur difendendo con forza la libertà espressiva individuale; nel 1949 a Milano fu tra gli organizzatori del "Primo congresso internazionale di musica dodecafonica", assieme a Luigi Dallapiccola, Bruno Maderna e Camillo Togni.

Compositore, critico musicale, conferenziere, pedagogo, organizzatore musicale, Riccardo Malipiero è stato uno dei primi sostenitori della dodecafonia in Italia, continuando su questo solco fino ai più recenti sviluppi musicali, anche senza inserirsi in una determinata scuola.

Le sue composizioni gli hanno valso il plauso della critica internazionale e hanno conosciuto una vasta rinomanza in sede concertistica.

Stile
La musica di Malipiero è caratterizzata da una ricerca intensa di nuove possibilità espressive
e da una cifra stilistica personalissima, pur non aderendo ad alcun movimento di avanguardia,
Nel teatro musicale, sono evidenti la flessibilità del declamato ed un'abile trasformazione
di cellule tematiche, eredità dell'illustre parente, che tuttavia non sopprime la spiccata personalità dell'autore.

If you've searched for essential oil diffusers online, you know it's a rabbit hole you can fall into for hours.
Lucky for you, I've done some research and am happy to share a nice selection of cool mist diffusers that will be both lovely as well as functional for your home, office or treatment room. As far as I'm concerned, one can never have too many diffusers!
Although I haven't tried all of these devices, I've made a careful selection based on positive reviews, quality of materials, and visual appeal. Note that some of the diffusers may have affiliate links which means if you purchase one, I would receive a small commission at absolutely no extra cost to you.
Get comfy, grab a cup of herbal tea and let's go!
I own this gorgeous creature and there's a reason it has a hefty price. It's the Cadillac of diffusers. I've linked this product to Amazon because it's more affordable than on the Puzhen website. I honestly don't understand the few negative reviews. I love this diffuser. It's incredibly well-made, has 3 LED color changes (blue/purple/white), comes with soothing built-in music and chimes, or you can hook it up to your smart phone and have it play your own music. It operates with a remote. If you've been very very good this year, I'd say you deserve it.
I own this little gem and plan on getting more. It makes a wonderful gift for yourself or someone who travels because it can be used with a USB port, in the car or with a plug in the wall. I recently took this diffuser with me on a trip through Washington, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Utah. It's small enough to squeeze into the corner of your suitcase, but powerful enough to fill a large hotel room with aroma.
Are you starting to get a long list of goodies to ask for this year?
which diffuser you want this year!
Look for Gift Guide Idea #4 on July 24th!

Kris Bryant kicks off Cubs-Cardinals rivalry with the insult that rocked St. Louis
By Paul Sullivan
Whether St. Louis is "boring," as Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant claimed at the team's annual convention, is irrelevant.
The flippant comment by Bryant ignited an avalanche of outrage in the home of the Cubs' longtime rival, including over-the-top social-media responses from Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina, who called Bryant and interviewer Ryan Dempster, the former Cub, "stupid" and "losers," reliever John Brebbia, who responded "Cry me a river, loser," and outfielder Marcell Ozuna, who added: "From outside they speak and talk like (a) Tiger but at the end they (are) gonna be like (a) little cat."
Those are fighting words.
No one is going to call the Cubs a "little cat" and get away with it, so naturally everyone is expecting fireworks when the teams meet for the first time May 3 at Wrigley Field.
The most important question now is how the Cubs will retaliate when Bryant eventually gets thrown at during Cubs-Cardinals games in 2019.
Cubs vs. Cardinals is a once-heated feud that has been muted over the last few years because of the unexpected irrelevancy of the Cardinals.
When manager Joe Maddon arrived on the North Side in 2015 and suggested Cardinals manager Mike Matheny was Tony Soprano putting out "a hit" on first baseman Anthony Rizzo after Rizzo was hit by a pitch, it seemed like a reboot of the intense era of 2003-06, when Dusty Baker and Tony La Russa yelled at each other from opposing dugouts.
"To become this vigilante group that wants to get their own pound of flesh, that's absolutely insane, ridiculous and wrong," Maddon fumed in September of 2015. "We don't start stuff, but we will stop stuff."
The Cubs got their revenge by beating the Cardinals in the playoffs, but, alas, that was the end of the intensity.
The Cardinals haven't been back to the postseason since, leading to last year's firing of Matheny, who was indisputedly boring, even to Cardinals Nation.
When I asked Cardinals honcho John Mozeliak after the firing if it's inconceivable to think the Cardinals would rebuild, he looked at me like I was from Mars.
"I would agree — it's probably inconceivable," he said, adding the Cards weren't "that far away" from contending.
"I guess an easier way to say it is if you look at our model, with our fan support, trying to be irrelevant for a couple years just doesn't seem smart," Mozeliak said. "It's not even something we've been internally debating."
True to his word, Mozeliak went out after the 2018 season and acquired Paul Goldschmidt, one of the league's top three hitters, and signed Andrew Miller, a dominant reliever who had an off-year in 2018.
The Cubs signed former Cardinals infielder Daniel Descalso and, well, that's it.
Maddon and the Cubs brass have said nothing but complimentary things about the Cardinals this offseason, expecting nothing less than a multiteam battle for the NL Central title.
But instead of letting sleeping dogs lie, Bryant opened a can of worms with his impromptu insult of St. Louis. (Bryant doesn't drink, so naturally he would be bored in St. Louis.)
There's little doubt he'll be booed at Busch Stadium, but Bryant also put himself and his teammates in danger of being thrown at by Cardinals pitchers looking to defend the honor of their city. It's inevitable.
No one in Chicago cares about this, of course, but St. Louis reacted like it was a declaration of war. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch featured a slew of stories on the Bryant-Dempster insults, and beat reporter Derrick Goold even took an unprovoked shot at my computer bag on Twitter, calling it "rather boring."
Dempster, a man who wears many hats, is the big winner in all this.
During Cubs Conventions he moonlights as a faux talk-show host, interviewing Cubs players and executives in a segment called "Friday Night with Ryan Dempster." With 365 days in a year and only 162 games on the regular-season schedule, the Cubs will have much air time to fill when they launch their own TV network in 2020, and Dempster is expected to bring his emcee skills to the channel.
This could be must-see TV, especially if Dempster can get Cubs players to insult other cities or perhaps even the White Sox. Dempster also is a front-office employee, having been named as a special assistant to Cubs President Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer in 2014. And he's also an MLB Network analyst, albeit one who apparently has a particular disdain for St. Louis.
How this all plays out is anyone's guess, but we do know the Cubs-Cardinals rivalry will be anything but dull this year.

OK boys and girls, is time for some fun using certificates issued by an internal Windows CA. As you can read in the title we are going to issue EV (Extended validation) certificates from our internal CA. Yes it can be done with Windows Server 2008 R2. Using EV certificates on your web sites does not mean an increase of security, but sometimes is just so cool to have that green bar in IE.
To be able to keep up with the practice you need a Domain Controller, a Web server, and a client. If you don't have the client is OK, you can test from the Domain Controller, but I want to make it as real as possible. Servers are all running Windows 2008 R2, and the client is running Windows 7. On the Domain Controller I've already installed the Active Directory Certificate Services role as Enterprise Root Certification Authority, and the Web server along with the client are joined to the domain. You need to have at least Internet Explorer 8 for this to work. Now that we have our lab in place, let's start working, or for some of us…let's have fun.
Open Certificates Templates mmc using Start > Run > certtmpl.msc. Search for the Web server template, right-click on it and choose Duplicate Template.
Here you can either use Windows Server 2003 Enterprise, to create version two certificates, or the second option to create a version three certificate. We are going with the second option, so check the radio button Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and click OK.
Type a name for the certificate and a validity period if you want to change the default one.
Go to the Extensions tab, and here click on the Issuance Policies extension, then hit the Edit button.
Since we don't have any Issuance Policy we need to add one by clicking the Add button.
As you can see there are some default Issuance Policies already present, but we need to create a new one for our EV certificate to work. Click the New button.
Give the new Issuance Policy a name, and optional you can type a CPS location. CPS comes from Certificate Practice Statement and is a document that describes the organization's security policy. At the end we have the OID (Object Identifier) which is very important; copy the OID because we need it later. Click OK when you're done.
On the Add Issuance Policy window make sure that the new policy is selected, and click OK.
Now on the Issuance Policy description you should have something similar to mine.
Go to the Security tab, because we need to set the right permissions for the Web server to be able to request this type of certificate. Click the Add button.
On the object name list type the name of your Web server. Be sure on the Object Types the Computer object is selected.
Once the server is in the ACL (Access Control List) check the box to allow enrollment. Click OK to create the certificate.
Now we need to bind this template to the Certificate Templates on the Enterprise CA. Go to Administrative Tools > Certification Authority expand your Root CA, right-click Certificate Templates and choose New > Certificate Template to Issue.
From the list select the certificate we just created and click OK.
Before we continue, we need to export the root certificate; is needed for the next section. Right click your Enterprise Root CA and choose Properties.
On the General tab click View Certificate.
Once the certificate opens, go to the Details tab and hit the Copy to File button. Follow to wizard using the default settings and save the certificate somewhere on your local hard drive.
Now we need to create a domain policy so all the clients in the domain know about the new OID. Once the policy is created navigate to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Public Key Policies > Trusted Root Certification Authorities. Right click the folder and choose Import.
Follow the wizard and select the certificate we exported a few seconds ago. Now right-click the certificate and choose Properties.
Go to the Extended Validation tab, and in the Add OID box paste the OID I told you to copy when we created the Issuance Policy. Once you paste the OID click the Add OID button then OK.
Now you can either wait between 90 and 120 minutes for the new policy to be processed by all the clients in the domain, or force the clients to process the new policy. Since I have a small environment I will force the clients by issuing the gpupdate /force command. On the Web server open the Certificates MMC console then right-click the Personal folder and choose All Tasks > Request New Certificate.
On the Request Certificate screen on the wizard click the Details arrow of the EV Certificate then hit the Properties button, because we need to provide more information so the enrollment will succeed. If you don't see your certificate here is because you did not add the Web server computer to the Security ACL on the certificate template.
Here the most important option is the Common Name option. Once selected type the FQDN that clients will use to connect to the web site. You will have to add Organization and Country too. Click OK when you are done. If you are wondering why I typed www.vkernel.local instead of the name server, is because I created a CNAME record in my DNS zone that points to the Web server, so my client don't have to memorize the name of the server.
In the Certificate Enroll wizard click the Enroll button.
Once the certificate is installed you can see its properties. It has a private key and the Issuance Policy name we created.
Let's test the certificate to see if we can get a green bar in IE. Install the certificate on your web site and from a client (domain client) type the FQDN address present in the Common Name of the certificate. And hooray, it works. We did a pretty good job here.
Yes, if you are not using IE you are not going to anymore because Google implemented a new standard in certificates called Certificate Transparency. You can read more about this just by running a small search on Google. The bad part is that you cannot do anything about it.
Usually this happens when the EV extension is not working. Did you IE address bar turned green?
Can issuing EV Certificate in standalone root CA?
Never tried this scenario so I can't say for sure. I don;t see a reason why you will use a standalone root CA to issue EV certificates. It just complicates thing to much.

Q: Windows 10 black screen during the installation I have a HP Probook 6570b laptop running Ubuntu and I am trying to install Windows 10 on it now. I have downloaded the ISO from Microsoft's website and created a bootable usb flashdrive to install it.
The laptop recognises the flashdrive and lets me boot from it, but I only get a black screen (without any cursor) after booting.
I have already tried the Win+P key combination to try trick the windows mirroring settings (fail). All other suggestions I found require access to a working Windows installation (e.g. update or disabling drivers, etc).
The other thing I was told to check was BIOS settings, but unfortunately HP has password protected it from the factory, and the only way to reset the password is, you guessed it, using Windows. ♂
Is there anything else I could do to get Windows to install on this laptop?

A: Last time I tried this, I found that it was impossible to burn to a USB drive that would boot a Windows 10 image using Ubuntu. The system will attempt to boot, but nothing will happen. This was also on a BIOS (not UEFI) machine. Solutions:

*

*Burn a DVD (instead of a USB) with the Windows 10 image. Note that not all Windows 10 ISOs will fit on a 4.7 GB DVD anymore, so an older image may be needed.

*Get Rufus, a Windows image burning program, running on Linux using an emulator like Wine or a Windows 10 virtual machine. Or run it on an older version of Windows if you have historical Windows installation media lying around.

*Get WoeUSB, an unmaintained Linux program, working. IIRC, I had to install Fedora to install it and was only able to get it working after a lot of effort messing with command-line arguments because it's buggy.

A shirt inspired by the classic match in Milwaukee in 1989 has been launched ahead of the clash with Wigan at Anfield next month.
The players will wear the limited edition shirt, which is available for fans now, in the closing game of day one of the weekend on Saturday, May 25.
The Wire team that day, who lost 12-5, was captained by Mike Gregory, who also picked up man of the match, with the likes of Des Drummond, Paul Cullen, Les Boyd and Mark Forster in the side. The opposition featured names like Ellery Hanley, Shaun Edwards, Denis Betts and Andy Gregory.
The design features subtle details to replicate the original with the font of partners One Energy changed to match that of Greenalls from 1989, plus an exact replica of the match logo.
This year's Magic Weekend fixture details are sublimated on the front along with Wolves' club badge. The reverse features a list of the full Warrington team that took to the pitch that day.
Stars Daryl Clark, Ben Currie, Josh Charnley and Blake Austin modelled the shirts in the iconic Cavern Club in Liverpool.
Shirts are available to order online now at warringtonwolves.com and in the official club store from tomorrow, Monday, with an expected collection date of Friday, April 19.
Adult shirts are available in sizes small to 7XL priced at £49 with children's in sizes five to six years to 13-14 years at £35.
The club has also revealed a Magic Weekend warm-up T-shirt priced £35 and a retro jacket at £55 in sizes small to 5XL.


The U.S. Office of Special Counsel has opened an investigation into the expenditure of $48 million in taxpayer funds in the Upper Klamath Basin following a scathing whistleblower declaration.
The controversy is centered on the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's interactions with the Klamath Water and Power Agency, an inter-governmental agency formed in 2008 by representatives of California and Oregon drainage districts within the Klamath Project.
The project provides water to more than 200,000 acres of farmland in the region around Upper Klamath Lake and the Klamath River.
In a declaration delivered by whistleblowers to the OSC, Reclamation is accused of entering into a contract with KWAPA that it was not authorized to enter into, and spent millions of dollars illegally in support of that contract.
The declaration states that the contract's stated objective was "to complete a study to examine the potential for stakeholder capability to manage market-based water supplementation programs … "but alleges that it has instead been used to funnel taxpayer funds to irrigators and to KWAPA functions.
The whistleblowers state that originally, the contract was to last for a five-year period from 2008 to 2012 at a cost of $11.25 million. Since 2012, the contract has been modified 17 times, they state, with the contract now extended to 2023 with a new funding limit of up to $41.25 million.
The declaration alleges that each of the many authorities cited in support of the contract do not actually do so, based mostly on the use of funds to offset irrigators' idling of lands and loss of irrigation water.
It is alleged in the declaration that the feasibility study cited in the contract has never been commenced, with funds instead being utilized to benefit only irrigators and not fish and wildlife, as required by some of the authorities cited in the contract.
"In sum, the claim that the purpose of the Contract was to conduct feasibility studies authorized in the Klamath Basin Water Supply Enhancement Act of 2000 appears to be a charade masking the use of federal funds for an entirely different purpose," the declaration states.
In addition to alleging that BOR engaged in a contract not supported by statute, the whistleblowers claim that the agency also engaged in a gross waste of funds and abused its authority over the years it has allocated contract funds.
"Both KWAPA and BOR have illegally used the federal funding not only for unauthorized purposes, but highly wastefully. They have not achieved, or even attempted to achieve, the purported objective of the Contract to produce a feasibility study, but instead have used the funds to purchase water and pay for land idling and to pay the expenses for the operation of KWAPA, as well as for other projects even further afield from the original purported Contract purpose. These actions amount to violations of law and regulations, gross waste of funds, and abuse of authority," the declaration alleges.
An investigation into federal money funding drought mitigation programs is moving forward.
The Public Employees Environmental Responsibility (PEER) group announced Tuesday that a whistleblower claim against the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) has been referred to the Department of Interior.
PEER filed the whistleblower disclosure in February on behalf of Todd Pederson, a BOR natural resource specialist, and Keith Schultz, a former BOR fisheries biologist. The suit alleges the BOR has misused funds designated to improve fish and wildlife habitat in the Klamath Basin.
In past years, irrigators participating in WUMP "bid" their application by providing a dollar amount per acre they would like to be paid in return for not diverting surface water to grow crops.
The Secretary of Interior, Sally Jewell, must respond to the OSC within 60 days, the release said.
Louis Moore, the deputy public affairs specialist for the BOR Mid-Pacific Region office in Sacramento, said the agency plans to comment on the suit at a later date.
According to Hollie Cannon, executive director of the Klamath Water and Power Agency, the KWAPA board of directors first entered into a cooperative agreement with BOR to administer the WUMP in 2008. He said the board acted in good faith that BOR had the authority to do what was proposed.
"During the time of administering the WUMP, KWAPA has contracted with an independent auditor to conduct an audit each year. There been no findings of unauthorized expenditure by the auditor. In summary, KWAPA has complied with all requirements for the administration of federal funds," Cannon said in a statement.
According to the release, at least $48 million dollars has been paid in contracts with the Klamath Water and Power Agency (KWAPA). The payments began with a 2008 Reclamation contract for a feasibility study on whether water marketing could increase Klamath water supplies for the benefit of fish and wildlife. The claim asserts the initial five-year contract was amended 17 times.

Cranmore Partners joins WGEO private sector platform
Cranmore Partners Limited (Cranmore), an advisory firm specialising on the funding of infrastructure projects in greater Middle East and Africa, has announced its participation at the World Green Economy Organisation (WGEO) private sector platform, emphasising its commitment to support the global transition to a green economy.
The Cranmore Partners company is one of the first affiliate members of the WGEO Private Sector Platform since the international organisation's inception.
Cranmore Partners, as a member of the World Green Economy Organisation, stressed the importance of enhancing the private-sector platform through the provision of pro bono financial advisory services for challenging projects in emerging markets as part of its pledge to support the global sustainable development, particularly on renewable energy.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Chairman of the WGEO, said: "We work consistently to promote the key role of the private sector, particularly businesses, in advancing the global green economy. Private companies and organisations also play a key role in attracting investments, especially through the infrastructure development projects that support sustainable development, notably across the clean energy sector. We welcome the lead step taken by Cranmore Partners to make an essential contribution to enhancing the green economy efforts. We can move forward faster in our mission and benefit as well from our efforts if we have the commitment to be part of a common goal, which is centred around our mission at WGEO."
Al Tayer added: "We play an important role in bringing together all the parties involved. Since its inception in 2016, the World Green Economy Organisation has been working with private sector companies and institutions to identify and develop key areas that will foster activities supporting the green economy, facilitate public-private partnerships, promote international cooperation and share best international practices."
Yusuf Macun, Managing Partner, Cranmore Partners, commented: "Cranmore Partners leverages its expertise and experiences in promoting efforts towards a green economy by providing advisory services in renewable energy projects which comprise in excess of half of our engagement in infrastructure development across regions. We have worked with important projects in wind power such as the GCC's first wind power independent power producer (IPP) project, while also having advised other projects in solar, hydropower, waste-to-energy and other environmental infrastructures such as wastewater and desalination."
Yusuf added: "By being part of the WGEO Private Sector Platform, we are confident that together, we can facilitate bringing the bankable projects to the right markets and catalyse the interest of investors."
Since inception in 2016, spearheaded by the UAE in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme, the WGEO has been working with businesses and other private organisations to catalyse key areas that would drive activities for a green economy such as unlocking green capital, harnessing frontier technologies, facilitating public-private partnerships, and promoting international cooperation and knowledge sharing of innovative and scalable projects.-- Tradearabia News Service

Ex-HMRC fraudster behind conspiracy to steal nearly £7m from construction workers is jailed for nine years
A tax consultant who fled the UK after masterminding a conspiracy to steal nearly £7million from construction workers has been jailed for nine years.
Former Inland Revenue worker Mike Hughes, 52, used a string of UK and offshore companies and bank accounts to steal £6.9million in taxes deducted from workers' wages, through fraudulent payroll schemes.
The money, which should have been paid to HM Revenue & Customs, was split between Hughes and his three co-conspirators, who were jailed for a total of 19 years in 2016.
Jailed: Ex-Inland Revenue worker who stole £6.9m in taxes deducted from workers' wages
Hughes evaded justice by leaving the UK in September 2011, travelling to Chile and Dubai before setting up home in northern Cyprus.
He was arrested by HMRC investigators at Heathrow Airport in January when he arrived on a flight from Turkey. He was yesterday jailed for nine-and-a-half years at Southwark Crown Court.

Boston College men's basketball and Western Kentucky entered the NIT Tournament with two of the 50 most efficient offenses in the country, according to KenPom.com. Both teams looked the part for the first quarter of Tuesday night's first-round matchup, shooting a combined 19-of-34. Then all of a sudden, the wheels came flying off the Eagles, who were playing their fourth game in the past seven days.
Quarter-by-quarter, BC's field goal percentage continued to dip, as the Eagles recorded a mere 31.1-percent clip over the course of the final 30 minutes of play. For the third time in the past four games, head coach Jim Christian's team failed to make more than a third of its 3-point attempts, dashing any hopes at a second-half comeback. But even if BC was on its game offensively, it still could have found itself on the wrong side of the box score.
The Eagles couldn't buy a stop on the other end of the floor, allowing the Hilltoppers—a team that was a tip-in away from stealing the Conference U.S.A. Championship and punching its ticket to its first NCAA Tournament in five years—to shoot 55.4 percent from the floor. WKU, which came into the game averaging 5.5 triples, the 18th-fewest in the nation, bagged six 3-pointers. Yet the Hilltoppers really asserted their dominance inside the arc, hitting 67.3 percent of their 2-point shots. Justin Johnson led the charge with 19 points and 12 rebounds, shoving a 79-62 loss down the Eagles' throats, ending BC's storybook season.
Throughout the first quarter, the fifth-seeded Eagles (19-16, 7-11 Atlantic Coast), once again donning the Boston-themed alternate jerseys, resembled the team that upset NCAA Tournament-bound North Carolina State in the second round of the ACC Tournament six days earlier.
After missing its first shot, BC scored on its next five possessions, storming out to a four-point lead. Both Ky Bowman and Jerome Robinson were clicking, and Steffon Mitchell, who was just 1-of-18 from downtown in his past 10 games, drilled a 3-pointer from the left wing. The Eagles' guards pushed the ball in transition, capitalizing on fourth-seeded WKU's (25-10, 14-4 Conference U.S.A.) five first-quarter turnovers. Luckily for head coach Rick Stansbury's crew, it was having just as much luck, if not more, from the field.
The Hilltoppers rode a three-headed attack, consisting of Lamonte Bearden, Taveion Hollingsworth, and Johnson, to 19 points in the first frame. Bearden and Hollingsworth netted a couple of long balls, and Johnson began to carve out space in the paint. Still, BC held its multi-possession advantage for much of the period. Just as WKU started to close the gap, Bowman rattled off five of his team's final seven points in the quarter, banking in an off-balanced 3-pointer at the buzzer to put the Eagles up, 24-19, heading into the second frame.
BC was on pace to score 96 points—then it totaled a mere 20 in the following two quarters. A minute into the second period, Nik Popovic picked up his second foul of the night, earning himself a spot on the bench for more than half the frame, freeing up space in the interior. Johnson had more than enough time to take over the game inside.
On one possession, the 6-foot-7 forward drove to the hoop, evading his defender in the process, and finished at the rack with a two-handed slam. Moments later, he drew a blocking foul, setting up Hollingsworth for a lead-changing 3-pointer. By the end of the half, Johnson's statline—13 points and rebounds—nearly looked complete. The Hilltoppers' quarter-opening 9-2 run got the E. A. Diddle Arena rocking and forced Christian to call a 30-second timeout. Out of the break, Robinson cashed in on a Mitchell offensive rebound with his lone 3-pointer of the game, but it hardly stopped the bleeding.
Soon enough, WKU retook the lead and ripped off another 9-2 run to close out the half with an eight-point advantage and all of the momentum on its side. The Hilltoppers, who attempted the 27th-most free throws in the country throughout the regular season, drew 12 personal fouls in the quarter, reserving 10 shots at the charity stripe. On the other end of the floor, they were impenetrable, not only holding the Eagles to a putrid nine points, but also keeping them off the free throw line for the second-straight quarter.
Two minutes into the third frame, Bowman sunk BC's first two free throws of the game, but it didn't make a difference. It was only a matter of time before WKU strung together six-straight points—a stretch that was fueled by the Eagles' poor ball security. The Hilltoppers converted back-to-back BC turnovers into a pair of highlight-reel dunks, courtesy of Johnson and Darius Thompson, firmly establishing a double-digit lead. As a whole, WKU made a habit of running up and down the floor, scoring 13 more fastbreak points than the Eagles. Thompson, who recorded a team-high 11 points in the second half, was just getting started. The senior guard scored four more points in a row, before handing the keys to Johnson and Hollingsworth for the final minutes of the period.
BC erased five double-digit deficits for come-from-behind victories this season. Tuesday just wasn't one of those nights. The Eagles finally regained somewhat of a rhythm offensively in the final quarter—at least for the first half of the frame—draining three of their first five shots from the floor. The problem was, they were just as helpless when it came to protecting the rim. A couple of Jake Ohmer layups increased the WKU lead to 17, its largest of the game.
Attempting to swing momentum, Bowman broke free in transition, cuffed the ball, and threw down an emphatic one-handed dunk, igniting a 9-2 Eagles run that slingshotted BC into striking distance. But BC didn't make another field goal after that, failing to get a single shot to fall in the final four minutes and 18 seconds of regulation. The Hilltoppers hit a handful of free throws down the stretch to restore their substantial lead, securing a spot in the second round of the NIT.
BC, on the other hand, said goodbye to the 2017-18 campaign—a season in which the Eagles logged three more wins than the past two seasons combined, knocked off two top-25 teams, including a top-ranked Duke squad, snapped a 23-game ACC losing streak, won back-to-back ACC Tournament games for the first time since 2005-06, and reached the postseason for the first time in seven years. Even if Jerome Robinson leaves for the upcoming NBA Draft, Jim Christian will be light years ahead of where he was last offseason. BC may not have made it to the Big Dance or even the second round of the NIT, but it earned respect—something it hasn't garnered in more than half a decade.


Patricia Pendleton is the current owner and CEO of Unker's. Her great uncle began making the mutli-purpose healing and pain relief salve from a formula which went back to the early 1900's. Pat's father refined the original formula to use all pure essential oils and continued making the salve in his garage in Wapakoneta, Ohio. The name Unker's is derived from a young relative who could not say "Uncle" but could only say "Unker." In 1995, the company moved to Upton, Wyoming, where all products are manufactured today.
Unker's Multi-Purpose Therapeutic Products does not take custom orders since they have product available for shipment at all times. All products are handcrafted and there is a full line of personal care and topical pain relief items.
This is a family, Christian-based, and woman-owned manufacturing company competing successfully in a market place with much larger companies. They stand behind their products and have not issued a refund due to the quality of the products in 32 years. Unker's Multi-Purpose Therapeutic Products has had customer's family members call them when they have passed away to let them know that their product & company meant so much to that person! How many companies can say that?
Unker's products are multi-purpose topical pain relief, so not only do customers get a high quality product made in the USA, they also save money. No need to buy one product to treat one symptom only to find it has chemicals in it, an expiration date and may not do the job. Unker's manufactures their products with all pure essential oils purchased from US vendors, no chemicals and an indefinite expiration date!
Customers can contact Unker's Multi-Purpose Therapeutic Products directly to purchase by the case, or they can purchase from one of the many retail locations listed on their website.

Lynn Hazen started making soap after she and her sister had a conversation about home-based businesses. Handmade soap was on the list of businesses. At first Lynn thought it was a silly thing to do from home, after all, who would be interested in purchasing soap from somewhere other than a store. She put the notion of learning to make soap on the back burner, but eventually started searching the internet for information. Lynn started with Melt and Pour soap but she quickly lost interest. She then decided to research how to make Cold Process soap. After reading tutorials and books and watching videos for about six months, Lynn finally got up the courage to make her first batch of Castile soap, and she was hooked!
Lynn is currently the sole soap maker but hopes to make it a family business. 307 Soapworks does custom orders and only uses essential oils to scent the soaps. However, if someone wanted a product made from a specific fragrance oil, she would require them to purchase the entire batch of about 2.5 pounds of soap or 7 bars. Some of the ingredients used are: Avocado, Castor, Coconut, Olive, Palm and Rice Bran oils; and, Kaolin Clay.
307Soapworks products can only be purchased online at this time: www.soapguildstores.com/307soapworks.
Lynn will be participating in the Winter Market in Casper at the Ag Extension Building on Fairgrounds Road, the first Saturday of the month from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The next market will be December 7th.
Lynn is proud to be a Wyoming native, so she wanted her products to have a Wyoming theme, and the soapy name illustrate that very sentiment: "Whoa, Nellie" (for Nellie Tayloe Ross), "Togwotee" (for Togwotee Pass), "Gebo" (for Gebo, WY), and a salve named Dr. Lillian's Salve (for Dr. Lillian Heath). Current products include soaps, lip balms, laundry soap, salve and solid lotion.

Laurance Perry brought to America a love for all things chocolate. She wanted her two children to experience the same truffle-filled chocolate Easter Eggs she enjoyed growing up in her native Belgium.
Easter is traditionally a time of chocolate in Belgium and children are delighted with large chocolate eggs filled with chocolate goodies. Unable to find something like this here, Laurence took matters into her own hands, purchased a large, hollow egg mold; she melted chocolate and cast her first chocolate eggs. Encouraged, she cast tiny Easter characters and filled the eggs. Wrapped in a white satin bow she showed the eggs to friends and the ensuing demand created a chocolate frenzy; Petit Secret Chocolate (or PS Chocolate) was born in 2002.
With her mother's help and Belgian chocolate recipes, Laurance created solids in unique shapes and mouthwatering Belgian truffles filled with buttery ganaches. She soon captured the taste buds of those frequenting the bazaars and farmer's markets of Jackson Hole where Laurance lives and works. She soon outgrew her kitchen operation and converted a barn on her property into a modern and efficient kitchen and business.
Though she appreciates her new and efficient operation, Laurance still makes her Belgian chocolate the old fashioned way; one at a time. Each batch is carefully hand-crafted and tested by her impeccable Belgian chocolate background and memories of that perfect chocolate from the old country. Laurence is content to keep her business comfortably small, and leaves the business end to her husband Paul. She is proud of her two sons, Will and Jack, contributors to PS Chocolate, and occasionally is even a bit surprised they still have a passion for hand-crafted Belgian chocolate.
Petit Secret Chocolate does take custom orders, as well as company logo brands. They do handcrafted molds to accommodate any request of shapes and sizes from cowboy boots to bears.
PS Chocolate can be purchased via their web site at www.getmorechocolate.com. The chocolate is truly worth the cost. The chocolates are 100% handcrafted and PS Chocolate does not use any additives or waxes. These delicious concoctions are 100% Belgian Chocolate.
Barb & Eli started the Herbadashery in 1991 as a retirement project. With the help of friends and family, it has become a special place to relax and enjoy the quality products, plants, and catering that has defined who they are.
Although they are a smaller company in size, Herbadashery is big on unique products and customer service. They strive to help their customers succeed in all of their growing and landscaping projects. The Herbadashery is a place to visit, rest, and gain new ideas. Good friends once called this "an oasis in Casper." Herbadashery's goal is to make their customer's visit informational and enjoyable.
Over time, some of Herbadashery's favorite products have been born out of necessity. Such is the story of Pine Ridge products. Melissa Armstrong, a young mother, living on a ranch in Kaycee, Wyoming, ran out of a brand name BBQ sauce that her family liked. Like so many resourceful ranch folks, she took what she had in her kitchen and put together something she thought might be good. Her family liked it and that was the beginning of Pine Ridge BBQ and Dipping Sauces. Living on a busy ranch, she made the decision to pass on her dream in order to keep up with a growing family.
Herbadashery has used these products in their catering business and sold them in their gift shop for years with great success. In July 2006, Herbadashery purchased the proprietary rights to manufacture Pine Ridge BBQ and Dipping Sauces and Sweet Mustard. They maintain the exact recipes and procedures in manufacturing these fine products in their FDA kitchen at the Herbadashery in Casper, Wyoming.
Herbadashery's Pine Ridge products are sold wholesale and retail. They can be purchased on their web site at www.herbadashery.com, by phone, or purchased in their gift shop. Their products are also sold in many retail stores, which are listed on their website. Retail prices for the Pine Ridge BBQ sauce and Dipping sauces can run from $6.95 for 18oz up to $155 for a 5 gallon container. The Pine Ridge Sweet Mustard pricing is from $4.50 for 12oz to $34.95 for a gallon container. If you are interested in carrying sauces, contact them directly for wholesale pricing.
Herbadashery is a family business; and when you work for the Herbadashery, you become family.


An author is suing Disney and Frozen's screenwriter, claiming the film's story was stolen from a book she wrote called New Fairy Tales.
Muneefa Abdullah is suing for copyright infringement and believes Disney stole the plotline for their 2013 hit film Frozen, from a story she wrote called "The Snow Princess," found in her book New Fairy Tales.
Frozen was inspired by The Snow Queen, a classic Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale, and if Abdullah's book is supposed to be new versions of the classic tales, it doesn't really seem like she can say Disney stole anything. In fact, it seems like she's doing the same thing they did…reworking the classics.
Let us know your thoughts on the suit in the comments below.


Preheat oven to 350° F. Arrange fish fillets in 8 or 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with parsley, lemon juice and seasoned salt. Heat olive oil in frying pan.
Add onion and garlic. Sauté until soft. Pour onion mixture including oil from pan over fish fillet. Arrange tomato slices on top of onion mixture. Place lemon slices on top of tomatoes.
Pour wine over all and bake for 30-35 minutes or until fish flakes when tested with fork. Remove from oven and serve piping hot!


The call from the hauler who is to take Angelina to Ohio came at noon Sunday, a day early. I called the vet and set out about 2 pm to get the bale of hay to accompany her on her journey.
He was not going to be there, but he set one on top of enough others that I could climb up on the rack and roll it into the bed of the truck. He gave me directions from his new house, but he gave them as though I would be coming from the SOUTH instead of the north (a natural enough mistake, as his former home was south of his new one.) One of the landmarks to get me to the right place was a corn crib. I saw the "second driveway", leading to the nice new house, and dutifully ran up it -- no corn crib. I took the one just south of it -- a corn crib. A flatbed with a HUGE square bale, a year old, positioned on the end of it... but NO WAY could I hope to budge a ONE TON bale off onto the truck, nor would it be suitable for putting in a three horse trailer.
I was trying to think of who else might put up square bales as I retreated down that driveway in defeat. Spying two more corn cribs on the next gravel road north from his house (still on his farm), I decided to try it, although I would not call a gravel road a "driveway". When I got up there, sure enough, a "driveway" led in one gate, along the front of a huge shed, past two enormous corn cribs on the other side, and out another gate. Both gates were open.
Pulling in, there was one lone hay rack filled with small square bales with two of the middle ones pulled up onto one corner of the front of the rack. I backed under that corner, then had a terrible time climbing into the bed of the pickup to get into the hay wagon. It was easy to tip the bale into the truck once I had, but I had to shuck my shirt and pick the hay off it, as I'm allergic to several kinds and am NOT adept at spotting a small enough amount to cause me trouble when it gets next to my skin.
After gassing up the truck in Corydon and doing nearly $100 of grocery shopping, I headed home, pulling the truck in next to the deck to facilitate the unloading.
Even though I'd rolled the bale into the far back part of the 8' bed, Coqet had hooked into it and dragged it out the end by the time I got the meat, frozen goods and refrigerator items safely put away. When I'd pulled in, she'd been happily munching away on her own big bale situated at the end of the circle drive leading to the house. She's quick, LONG-necked, and like the grass being greener on the other side of the fence, the new bale far surpassed the allure of last week's fresh bale!

What in the World You Thinking Of?
Fifty-one years ago today, Future Yes drummer Alan White displayed the audacity of youth on John Lennon's "Instant Karma!"
Alan White was only twenty years old on September 12, 1969, when, the day after witnessing a gig by the drummer's band Griffin, John Lennon called him for the soon-to-be-former Beatle's first solo performance. As Lennon explained to White on the phone (on his second attempt; the first time White thought he was being pranked and hung up), the show was the very next day at the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival festival, in front of 20,000 people no less. But they'd just, you know, rehearse on the plane ride over. It'd be cool.
Sure enough, it all worked out splendidly. Lennon and White, alongside guitarist Eric Clapton and bassist Klaus Voorman, went down a storm, even if a writhing, screaming, sacked Yoko Ono tested many festival goers' patience, and a recording of the show, titled Live Peace in Toronto, would go on to sell a million copies.
Four and half months later, White was still twenty when Lennon called on him again, to record a song he'd just written, "Instant Karma!" On January 27, 1970, Lennon, White, and Voorman, this time accompanied by George Harrison on guitar and Billy Preston on keyboards, entered Abbey Road Studios to put down, in record time, a track notable not only for its commercial and cultural significance — the first solo-Beatle smash hit represented Lennon's denouncement of his "hyped revolutionary image" — but also for its Phil Spector production, which cast in relief White's tumbling, uplifting, tom-heavy performance.
Following a quiet Lennon count-in ("…three, four") followed by two ominous whole-note piano chords, White enters with a neat little four-stroke ruff beginning on the snare and ending on a bass drum note on beat 4. (Later videos show White moving the snare notes to the floor tom, likely as a way to more closely mimic the thuddy sound on the original.) The short "hole" during the final beat of the bar provides a lovely moment of anticipation before the band comes in on 1, with White swinging a light shuffle on the floor tom and punctuating the vocals with jaunty 8th-note-triplet fills, often accenting the upbeats.
It's all relatively standard stuff — though beautifully executed with equal parts lift and swagger — at least until it comes to "those fills." You know the ones, those straight-16th rolls that we drummers rejoice in air-drumming to whenever the song comes on. To this day they sound shocking, and not only because they jump out of the arrangement so boldly, but because they somehow, stubbornly, refuse to jibe with the age-old drumming "wisdom" to never, under any circumstances, disturb the flow of the groove.
"At that time with my own band," White says in a six-part Prism Films interview about Lennon that's viewable on Youtube, "I'd been experimenting with irregular rhythms. When you come to the drum breaks, you change the meter. So it sounds like you step aside for a moment and go back to the song.
"I used the tom-toms [on 'Instant Karma!'] as, like, cymbals," White goes on. "And we put a cloth, a towel over them. It was muffled, really tight sounding. And when it came to the drum break, I'd step out and change the meter a little bit."
Lennon loved the effect, which is compounded on the recording by the other instruments dropping out — though it's tough to tell whether the band played it that way during the tracking or it's the result of deft editing.
"John said, 'Whatever you're doing, keep doing it, it's perfect,'" White says on the Prism documentary. "And he never really told me to do anything. I was just messing around, experimenting with the drum breaks. And he said, 'No, do that every time it comes to this part of the song.'"
White plays the breaks at two pivotal moments, leading into the choruses after the lines "How in the world are you gonna see?" (0:55) and "Why in the world are we here?" (1:43). Watching the Plastic Ono Band's appearance on the British TV show Top of the Pops at the time, it's easy to read into the smile that John flashes in Alan's direction after the second occurrence that he continued to get a kick out of the drummer's adventurousness. (One also imagines Lennon dug White's wonderful crash accents at 2:10, behind his emotional vocal line "Come on and on and on on!")
"It was something I was working with as far as my thoughts about drumming at the time," White told the website Yesworld.com in 2013. "You can play a groove, but if you have a slight solo spot where the drums become dominant, there is no good reason why you should play it in the same meter as the rest of the song. So that's why even though 'Instant Karma!' is a shuffle, when it comes to the drum breaks, I made them into rock 'n' roll drum breaks. And I guess that kind of left an impression in a lot of people's minds."

Burberry, the famous British luxury brand, recently introduced a new collection called The Britain Icon Check with dials characterized by the typical "Check" motif created in 1920.
The Britain Icon Check for Men is a Limited Edition of 20 pieces featuring a polished and brushed anthracite DLC-treated titanium case with a diameter of 45 mm. The case is water resistant to 50 metres / 165 feet and houses a mechanical hand-wound, modified version of the ETA 2824-2 base calibre beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour.
Also crafted in anthracite DLC-treated titanium, the grid pattern of the dial creates an open worked motif offering a partial view of the mechanical calibre and its Côtes de Genève decoration. The date of the month can be read at 4 o'clock.
The Britain Icon Check for Women - a made to order timepiece - features a rose gold 37 mm case with a diamond-set bezel and diamond and mother-of-pearl-set dial which maintains the distinctive grid design.
This timepiece features the new STP3-13 movement with swan neck, a movement produced by Swiss Technology Production (STP), an innovative mechanical movement manufacturer based in Manno. The swan neck is a device that allows for a much more precise adjustment of the racket due to the action of a screw that pushes the racket arrow against a U-shaped spring.

But it doesn't work well.
The old site use ASP. The new site build on Joomla. The domain will be the domain from old site

A: You're close. You need to use the %{QUERY_STRING} variable like you did, but the var doesn't include the URI-path (the Contact.asp?) part. Also, your RewriteRule is missing a regex pattern. Try:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Pid=([0-999]+)

Academic and Writer
ACADEMIC WEBSITE FOR DENNIS WISE, PhD.
Currently a lecturer for the University of Arizona (faculty webpage HERE), my major fields of study are 20th- & 21st-century American and British literature. I focus on science fiction and fantasy literature in particular. My dissertation argued that J. R. R. Tolkien, the father of modern fantasy, can best be seen through the lens of political philosopher Leo Strauss, particularly in light of Strauss's revival of classical political rationalism and his analysis of modernity. Because Tolkien worked so closely with pre-modern heroic societies, he has become one of the few 20th-century authors able to provide an in-depth (and politically relevant) literary analysis of thymos, a Greek concept first analyzed by Plato that means "spiritedness." As of right now, my monograph has been tentatively titled, with a nod to Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in Fantasy: Anger, Virtue, and Politics in J. R. R. Tolkien.
My academic work, however, involves more than Tolkien. Since completing my dissertation eighteen months ago, I've focused on science fiction and fantasy topics ranging from gender violence and feminist theory to 20th-century alliterative poetry.
I'm also currently the reviews editor for Fafnir: Nordic Journal of SFF Research. Previously, I was the editor in chief for Scientia et Humanitas, a peer-reviewed journal of student research. I also have 10+ years experience as a freelance editor.
Current Research Interests:
British and American modernism/postmodernism
The literature of the First World War (and modern war literature more generally)
The academic novel


It's hard to put into words how much my friends mean to me. When they ask me to photograph for them to document a very special moment in their lives, it's an honor I can't describe. So when Danielle and Clint, who I have known for years, ask me to photograph them for the first time I was so excited and even nervous! It's been over 3 years since this couple tied the knot and I have been secretly anticipating this moment... They are expecting a baby!
There must be something in the water these days... Kids are just cuter than ever. Was I this cute growing up? Were my eyes this blue?
The Manor House at Prophecy Creek Park. It may be hard to tell, but a lot of these moments are candid. When they were sick of us saying "HEY LOOK OVER HERE!" that's when the magic happened. Jackson, Max and Quincy are my new little buddies!
If it weren't for the magical magnetic forces of the world, I may never have met these two! Through the most amazing coincidence, the 3 of us met and became fast friends with the mutual feeling of a long lost connection.
These two are so in love it's insanely adorable. Their utter admiration for each other is memorable and their laugh together, infectious. Their dreamlike tie is only a fraction of what it will be like on their wedding day. I sincerely can't wait to photograph every beautiful moment of that very much anticipated day!

The SmartNet-X SNX08X08 Video Matrix Switch is a high-quality Cat5 AV Router switching matrix for video and stereo audio type signals. All signal formats are catered for including VGA, SVGA, XGA and UXGA. Standard VGA connectors (HD15 sockets) are used on the rear for ease of installation for video connectivity and RCAs for computer audio. The units contain a very high bandwidth (400MHz) routing matrix for the Red, Green and Blue video channels and separate switching layers for stereo audio. The color signals and are then balanced internally and combined with the audio signals. This combined signal is then driven out through standard RJ45s on the front panel. Standard SmartNet-X receiver units are used at the end on each CAT5 cable to recover the signals. High quality receiver circuits incorporating cable loss compensation provide excellent results up to resolutions of 1600 x 1200 @85Hz. Compatible with all types of UTP and STP cable, the receivers can have optional internal skew compensation fitted, which solves the problem of delay errors found in the higher specification structured cabling.
All signals are distributed, balanced and driven differentially. This method provides for the best immunity to external noise and interference. Sending signals balanced also minimizes emissions, as any interference transmissions from the cable are cancelled out. 3 Pairs of the CAT5 cable are used for the three colors and the stereo audio. Pair 4 is used for inline power and the returned Infrared signals from the user.
SmartAVI SNX08X08 CA5 AV router unit can be controlled via a RS422 port connecting via a RJ45 on the front of the main chassis. Two connectors are provided for expansion, allowing a simple Cat5 patch cable to link to additional units. An adjustable rotary switch allows each unit to be assigned a unique ID read when the unit is first powered up. An optional Windows application (SmartNetControl) is available including a RS232 to RS422 converter. In addition to the centralized control from a computer, each output can be selected individually at the remote receiver location. Each SmartAVI SmartNet-X receiver unit also has an optional IR eye. Using an IR handset or other third party system, each output can be selected by simply pressing the appropriate number corresponding to the input source number. Once selected the source device can now be controlled from the remote location providing full IR interactivity.
To help accommodate multi-room audio systems, there is an option for local audio output on the front of the unit. The audio is presented as dual RCAs for the stereo pair. Output drivers allow the audio to be connected to any amplifier input at line level. The audio will follow whichever source device is selected.
The dual screen receiver has the capability to allow the user to select input from each source device from his remote position using RS232 control or Infrared. It is also capable of driving the same video and audio signals to two independent devices.
The compact single screen receiver is used when no control is required. Being single screen, the unit is designed to drive a single display.
Owing to expected losses in the UTP cable, provisions are made for compensating the attenuation of the Video signal. For each color there is an equalization adjustment potentiometer. This arrangement enables compensation for more than 300m of CAT5 cable. There is an LED indicator on the side of the receiver unit denoting local power status. The LED illuminates when the receiver unit is connected to the appropriate transmitter showing inline power. An optional DC power connection is also available; this feature is used in a point-to-point application to enable powering of the transmitter from the receiver unit.
There is an additional option for TCP/IP and telnet control that allows you to access and control Cat5 AV Router SNX08X08 unit remotely over IP.
