Entering the third quarter, and a score of 5-2, our Lady Trojans, led by Caitlyn Kissinger, and Maria Langlois scored 4 straight goals. Following these goals, UNI had to focus on defense. Great team defense and strong efforts by Senior goalie Anne Chen, Seniors Ali Huxman and Mabel Guo, and Yuuri Yoshikawa, Joy Chen, Anne Campbell, and Jasmine Choi, UNI successfully stopped Woodbridge from scoring again. Angela Yan went on to spark 4 more unanswered goals bringing the final score to 5 Woodbridge – 10 UNI.

University went into the game with a plan of trying to contain the Timberwolves' leading scorer Erin Matsutsuyu, who was held to six points in the first half and 14 points in the game. Monique Meriweather and Malia Goldsmith were guarding Matsutsuyu.
"We pushed the ball and we played excellent defense on Erin. Erin is a very, very good player and we did a really good job on her and our defense really helped," Bradshaw said.
Goldsmith led University with 22 points while Ashley Chandler added 14 points and Claire Kawata had 9 points for University. Emily Ozima added 8 points for Northwood (6-10, 0-2).

Next week the Trojans are away at Irvine on Tuesday (1/16) and home on Thursday (1/18) after finals are over to Woodbridge. The Trojans are currently 1 – 0 in league and 11 – 4 overall.
IRVINE – Alex Bray scored 27 points and made five free throws in the game's final minute to help University defeat Corona del Mar 82-78 in the Pacific Coast League opener for both Tuesday at Corona del Mar High.
Corona del Mar won the league championship last season. Northwood finished second. Corona del Mar and Northwood look like leading candidates for the league title this year, and University has both of them on its schedule in this league-opening week.
University coach Mike Dinneen said it is crucial that the Trojans, who finished in a three-way tie for third place last season, have a good week.
University, 11-4 overall, plays at Northwood on Friday. Corona del Mar (10-5) is home against Beckman in another league game Friday.
Corona del Mar had a 77-76 lead going into the final minute. Bray made two free throws with 44 seconds to go to put University on top 78-77. He then made a steal, slicing in front of a Corona del Mar player to intercept the pass like a football cornerback, was immediately fouled and made two free throws for an 80-77 lead with 27 seconds remaining.
The Sea Kings' Connor Schimmelpfennig made a free throw to trim the University lead to two points with 14 seconds left.
Bray was fouled upon receiving the ensuing inbounds pass. He made the first of two free throws, making it 81-78, but missed the second. Corona del Mar's Jake Hamilton missed a 3-point try from the corner, and University's Will Stenta got the rebound, was fouled and, with one second remaining, made a free throw to provide the final four-point margin.
Corona del Mar 6-foot-6 senior Kevin Kobrine scored 35 points with 19 rebounds. Sea Kings sophomore John Humphreys scored 29 points, 12 in the fourth quarter. Humphreys and Kobrine accounted for 73 percent of Corona del Mar's scoring.
University's Kevin Yahampath scored 22 points with five 3-pointers. Brandon Liu collected a team-high six rebounds for the Trojans.
Bray was 1 for 4 at the free-throw line before finishing with a 5-for-6 run in the game's final minute. He said he was more relaxed at the line when his free throws were most important.
"I'm glad I could hit them down the stretch and help us get this win," Bray said.
The Lady Trojan Basketball team is having a successful season thus far. They are 13-5 and have set their goals high. They took home 1st place in the WYBT Hawaii tournament over the Winter Break and have started off league play with a win over Corona Del Mar. Claire Kawata and Ashley Chandler were standouts in the Hawaii Tournament and last night Malia Goldsmith had 24 points against CDM. All the ladies are playing great basketball right now and will head to Northwood Friday night to take on the Timberwolves.
Boys soccer is now ranked #2 in OC behind only Servite. Last week the OC register athlete of the week was our own Lee McEligot. We beat Canyon 7-0 and San Juan Hills 5-0 last week and opened up league with a huge 3-1 victory over CDM on Tuesday. Two goals from Pedro Palmaka and one from Sebastian Hertel. Record now is 8-1-2. We play at home today, Jan. 11th vs Northwood. All three levels play at 3:15, come out and support the team!
The Register's boys soccer athlete of the week for Monday, Jan. 8.
He finished the week with three goals and an assist to help the Trojans defeat Canyon and San Juan Hills. He scored two goals in a 7-0 victory against the Comanches.
RVINE – University boys soccer coach Martin Wallwork summed up Tuesday's 3-1 Pacific Coast League victory against Corona del Mar with one word.
It was the first time in his five years with the Trojans that he topped his rival. And it was also a triumph that served as a good barometer for status of his program and his chances of winning the PCL championship as the battle for first place traditionally involves these two teams.
Pedro Palmaka scored two goals and Sebastien Hertel added another in the breakthrough triumph for their coach at University High.
But it was Corona del Mar that struck first in what was the league opener for both teams. The Sea Kings kept the Trojans pinned in the defensive end for early on, and took a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute when Max Rivas flicked in a long throw from Grant Glessing.
Four minutes later, though, the Trojans tied the score when Pedro Palmaka collected a rebound in the box and lined a shot inside the right post. Darious Abdollahi struck first for the Trojans, but Campbell Sheppard made a diving save. Unfortunately for the Sea Kings, Sheppard knocked the ball to Palmaka.
Sheppard, though, turned in another impressive performance for the Sea Kings, finishing with six saves, three coming off point-blank shost in the box.
Hertel extended the Trojans' lead to 2-1 in the 27th minute and Palmaka set the final margin in the 59th, converting a penalty kick after the Sea Kings were called for a handball in the box.
The game was originally scheduled to be played at Corona del Mar, but the Sea Kings play on grass, and the stormy weather on Tuesday forced the game to be moved to Uni's turf field, so the Sea Kings will have to play two road games against the Trojans as the Jan. 30 match will remain at University.
The Sea Kings were missing a key playmaker on Tuesday as Kyle Mabwa suffered a season-ending knee injury, tearing his ACL and LCL during a recent practice. Wallwork called Mabwa the best player in the PCL.
On Tuesday, 1/9, our UNI girls' soccer team play valiantly against Corona Del Mar, but ultimately succumbed to this amazing group of girls 1-0. Today we are looking to rally, and beat Northwood in our match at Meadowood Park at 3:15pm! Next Thursday, 1/18, is not only our GOW against Woodbridge at 5:00pm, but senior night as well. To really kick things off, we will be giving out free tacos from Tacos & Co to the first 100 students during half time. We can't wait to see you there!
Girls water polo plays today, 1/11 at Northwood and Friday at Irvine. Best of luck girls!
Last night UNI wrestled at Irvine and lost. Next Wednesday UNI will host Woodbridge. Wrestling starts at 5:00 p.m. for lower levels and Varsity will follow. Please come out and support.

The Best Fur Care, Close to Home.
We all know fur is fabulous, but even the most luxurious fabrics need special care. Bring your fur to Koslow's for any type of repair, large or small. Our full-service factory is on-site to take care of any repair that your garment may need.
Using a multipoint inspection process, our professional consultants will thoroughly check and review your garment's condition. Koslow's Fur pays special attention to areas more susceptible to damage like the shoulders, collar, and linings.
We will take care to ensure you fully understand the repairs made, and make recommendations for future prevention.
Our master furriers make repairs from the inside. When we repair your coat, we will carefully open the coat to get to the interior lining. This is how fur experts repair damaged garments. If repairs are made on the outside, like a tailor would repair a normal dress or blouse, the repair will not hold as effectively. Also, making repairs on the inside of the coat ensures no threads are visible after the restoration.
Our team of master furriers and professional finishers will mend any fur damage from the smallest tear to large, jagged rips or full pelt replacements, assuring that your valuable garment is handled with the utmost care and respect.
Koslow's Furs advises to regularly check your fur or leather for any damage between seasons. The smallest tear can lead to the costly replacement of a complete pelt or section if not tended to properly. A small trim or shortening can remove minor wear from cuffs, pockets, and hemlines.
If you have a loose hook or ring, we can replace them. By securing the closures you eliminate undue stress on the fur. If repairs go unnoticed, or are left unattended, they are likely to worsen in time.
The silk or silk blend linings of your garment are designed to reinforce your fur, but they need their own special attention. A tiny opening in the lining can lead to a large gash which will require a complete lining replacement.
Proactively having your garment repaired is one the smartest ways you can protect your investment. However, take the extra step to make sure your fur is being repaired by skilled hands. Do not take your fur or leather to an ordinary tailor or dry cleaner for repair.
While these establishments are sufficient for regular clothes, they lack both the training and tools to properly handle your luxury item. We have one of the most experienced furriers in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. With almost four decades of experience, he has beautifully restored coats and jackets made from all types of furs like fox, raccoon, mink, and sable.
With trained eyes, our experts know how to inspect your fur inside and out and make repairs accordingly.
With proper maintenance, fur and leather garments can last for decades and generations. Koslow's Furs recommends yearly maintenance for your luxury items to preserve their vitality.
Our experienced team is happy to help with any fur or leather repair needs, big or small. Call us at (214) 361-6400 or stop by our boutique at The Shops at Park Lane on 8188 Park Lane – Suite 154 Dallas, Texas. We look forward to bringing your fur back to life.

Telecom Operators Taking Their Time Clearing Nevsky Prospect of Wires
Zhanna Zhuravlyova
Clear Sky, a program designed to move underground the thick network of wires stretching over Nevsky Prospect, has been launched. The results so far have not been promising. Only three out of dozen and a half telecom operators have gone underground.
The first three telecom operators have removed their fiber-optic cables from Nevsky Prospect and moved them underground into conduits built as part of the city's Clear Sky program. These trailblazers were Prometei, Obit, and Centrex Smolny, a wholly owned affiliate of city hall's IT and Communications Committee (KIS), which acted as the project's general contractor, according to Centrex Smolny's director Felix Kasatkin.
According to Kasatkin, another three or four operators are ready to move their overhead lines, currently stretched between poles and buildings, underground in May. There are around a dozen and a half telecom providers whose lines crisscross the space immediately above the Nevsky. According to market insiders, the cost of dismantling the old lines and rerouting them to the access points into the underground conduits could range from ₽100,000 to ₽2 million. The cost depends on how many times the cables cross Nevsky, and how close they are situated to the necessary access points.
It is utterly impossible to force operators to remove the lines. The overhead lines may be ugly, but they are completely legal.
A Multi-Channel Story
The problem of overhead lines on the Nevsky surfaced in 2012, when Petersburg Governor Georgy Poltavchenko voiced his outrage over the large number of lines, which disfigured the city's main thoroughfare, in his opinion. The solution appeared obvious: move all the telecom operators into Rostelecom's underground conduits. Many of them, however, resented the prospect, complaining about the state telecom operator's rates, the speed with which it performed work, and its frequent refusals to configure networks.
That was when an alternative and somewhat extravagant solution was advanced: putting the telecom lines in Vodokanal's water main conduits. A design was drafted, but never implemented.
The final solution seemed simpler. The city would build its own infrastructure within Rostelecom's conduit, offering to rent the space to telecom operators. The idea was that they would be more open to this proposal than to collaborating with Rostelecom, with whom they were in constant competition.
Built for Free
Ultimately, ten underground conduits were built under the Nevsky, and collective access fiber-optic cables were inserted in them. Ownership of the conduits is currently being transferred to Centrex Smolny, and telecom operators are encouraged to lease the fiber-optic cables.
Kasatkin emphasizes the rates for leasing the cables are as low as possible, since they include only servicing charges. There is no need to recoup the costs of constructing the conduits, since they were built at the city's expense. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to find the relevant government purchase order for performance of this work, nor could Centrex Smolny could not provide us with specific information on on the matter.
According to Rustelecom, around twelve kilometers of conduits were constructed for the Clear Sky project. The cost of laying one kilometer of conduit is around ₽100,000, says Yuri Bryukvin, head of Rustelecom. So, along with the cost of materials and incidental expenses, the total costs could have amounted to ₽1.5 million. KIS chair Denis Chamara reported ₽30 million were spent on the project.
Telecom operators who have received Centrex Smolny's offer say the cost of leasing one kilometer of fiber-optic cable is approximately ₽500 a month. One conduit can contain eight, sixteen or more fiber-optic cables.
All the telecoms who operate in the city centere have fiber-optic cables that cross the Nevsky five or six times, explains Vladislav Romanenko, commercial director of Comlink Telecom. In this case, a telecom would pay up to ₽50,000 a month to lease fiber-optic cables.
Andrei Sukhodolsky, director general of Smart Telecom, whose lines also hang over the Nevsky, says the company has not yet been made an offer by Centrex Smolny.
"I have definitely not received official proposals in writing," Sukhodolsky claims. "Theoretically, we would agree to move our lines if we could understand the costs."
"The cost of the lease you quote is quite decent, but we have not received a commercial offer to lease fiber-optic cables," says Romanenko. "Currently, we are considering laying our own cable in Rostelecom's conduits."
ER Telecom told us they were working to move their communications lines, but they did not specify where they were moving them.
The initial list of streets that should have been cleared of unnecessary wires under the Clear Sky project featured a dozen streets, including Bolshaya Morskaya Street, Moskovsky Prospect, and Izmailovsky Project. So far the KIS has no specific plans to go beyond the Nevsky. And, perhaps, the issue will no longer be relevant after the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Market insiders point to Moscow as a positive example. The city moved its cables underground with no hitches and in much greater numbers. In Tatarstan, the authorities have obliged building owners to dismantle all structures that have not been vetted by the city on pain of paying a hefty fine.
"So the building owners dismantled the telecom lines on their own," our source at Comfortel told us.
Our source at the KIS was at pains to emphasize that operators removed the lines "voluntarily and at their own behest."
The overhead lines on the Nevsky usually contain eight to sixteen fiber-optic cables, which means the price of leasing a single conduit for moving lines underground could be as much as ₽8,000 a month. Then it would make sense to take advantage of Centrex Smolny's offer. But of an operator is running a large number of cables, he would find it more profitable to lease a conduit from Rostelecom. We have already moved our cables to Rostelecom's conduits without waiting for the offer from Centrex Smolny. It's odd certain operators postponed the move to May, since construction work is not carried out by telecom operators only when the temperature dips below –15°C.
—Dmitry Petrov, director general, Comfortel
We have been preparing for the move for three years or so. In one spot, where our cables cross the Nevsky, we took advantage of Centrex Smolny's offcer. The terms for leasing the fibers really are good. Centrex Smolny is clearly not making any money on this project, but they are probably not losing any money, either. The important thing about the project is the telecom operators are not commercially entangled with Centrex Smolny, while many telecoms have long, complicated relationships with Rostelecom: for example, when a lot of illegal fiber-optic cables were laid in the conduits, something that is still a matter of controversy.
—Аndrei Guk, director general, Obit

First, thanks for all of the comments about the tidepool socks. I still am waffling back and forth on them. Maybe I am being to precious with this yarn, but I want the resulting item to be stunning. And the current sock does not do it for me. So I will continue to think about it.
For the green alligator socks, I am trying to overcome "first sock syndrome". The last few times I have picked it up, it has seem like a real chore to work on them. But my husband is really enthusiastic about them, which does motivate me.
The secret knitting is progressing well. I need to work on it this evening.
I have also been spending way to much time exploring Ravelry. I signed up about a month ago to get an invite to be a beta tested. I got my invitation about a week ago. It is a cool site, but man is it easy to get lost in there. Major time vacuum. You can still sign up to be a beta tester.
And just because, an earth star fungus.

Transparentan je ili polutransparentan s indeksom loma nα=1.663 - 1.699, nβ=1.671 - 1.705 i nγ=1.693 - 1.728. Optički kut je 58° do 63°.

Diopsidi koji se mogu koristiti kao dragulju mogu se naći u dva oblika: crni diopsid i krom-diopsid (koji u sebi sadrži krom koji mu daje žarko zelenu boju). Krom-diopsid je relativno mekan (tvrdoća 5.5-6.5) i lako ga je zagrebati. (Mohsova skala tvrdoće ne pokazuje ni rasteznu čvrstoću, ni otpor na lomove.)

Ležišta i nalazišta

Diopsid se može naći u ultramafitnim magmatskim stijenama (kimberliti i peridotiti), a diopsidom bogat augit čest je u mafitnim stijenama, kao što su olivinski bazalti te neutralnim poput andezita. Diopsida također ima u različitim metamorfnim stijenama, kao što su metamorfozirani skarnovi, razvijeni iz dolomita bogatih silicijem. Važan je mineral Zemljina plašta, a čest je u peridototnim ksenolitima unutar kimberlita i alkalijskih bazalta. Ima ga u željezom bogatim meteoritima.

Dolazi uz minerale kao što su neki granati, fluorit, dolomit, klorit, vezuvijan,  flogopit, aktinolit, olivin, kalcit.

Krom-diopsid ((Ca,Na,Mg,Fe,Cr)2[(Si,Al)2O6]) čest je sastojak peridotitnih ksenolita, a raspršena zrna pronađena su u kimberlitnim žilama, i kao takva su dobar indikator za dijamante.

Poznata nalazišta diosida su u Kanadi, JAR-u, Rusiji te na mnogim drugim lokacijama u svijetu.

Postanak i izmjene
Pri relativno visokim temperaturama, postoji praznina u serijskom nizu između diopsida i pigeonita, a pri nižim temperaurama, između diopsida i ortopiroksena. Odnos kalcij/(kalcij+magnezij+željezo) u diopsidu koji je nastao uz jedan od ova druga dva prioksena djelomično je osjetljiv na temperature iznad 900 °C, pa je struktura diopsida iz peridotitnih ksenolita važna u rekonstrukciji temperatura iz Zemljina plašta.

Ovi pirokseni mogu prijeći u amfibole. Procesom uralitizacije, koji počinje najprije na rubovima, ako na njega djeluju hidroterme, diopsid (i hedenbergit) prelazi u klorite i serpentine, a uz njih se mogu razviti i drugi minerali (npr. epidot). Takvu pojavu nazivamo retrogradna metamorfoza.

Porijeklo imena

Diopsid je prvi put opisan oko 1800. godine, a ime mu dolazi od grčkih riječi  (dís), dva puta, dvostruko te , (ópsis), gledanje, opažanje, pogled, pojavnost u skladu s dva načina orijentacije njegove vertikalne prizme.

Plavi varijetet diosida nazivamo violan.

The Optimists vs. the Eeyores
Irwin M. Stelzer
Rarely have both exuberance and anxiety run simultaneously at the high pitch evident these days at gatherings of investors. The exuberants are the noisiest right now. Trump tax cuts have produced a surge in business after-tax profits—which even before the tax cuts were up double digits compared with last year. Millions of workers and their pension funds have received checks from companies benefitting from the tax cuts, and millions more will see their take-home pay rise in a few weeks when the new tax schedules cut in. International corporations are repatriating earnings to benefit from a special 15.5 percent tax rate, down from 35 percent. Estimates put total cash to be brought home by tech companies alone at $400 billion, with Apple accounting for half that sum.
But the exuberance is not only about the tax cuts. Friday's jobs report topped expectations. Unemployment remains a low 4.1 percent, the economy added 200,000 jobs last month, hourly earnings are up almost 3 percent over last year after a long period of stagnation. In addition, personal spending in the final quarter of last year rose at a rate of 3.8 percent, the fastest pace in three years. Consumer confidence is high, and small business confidence hit a record in December. The home ownership rate rose in 2017 for the first time in 13 years, driven by millennials.
Throw in the faith some have that the president's reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent—and his roll-back of the regulatory state—have delivered us to a new plateau of between 3 percent and 4 percent economic growth. That faster growth will enable the tax cuts to "pay for themselves" by generating higher revenues for the Treasury, the faithful contend. So what's not to like?
Which brings us to what we might call the Eeyores, A. A. Milne's gloomy, pessimistic, stuffed donkey who knows that the end is nigh, and if not nigh, at least inevitable. For them good news such as the jobs report is really bad news in shiny gift-wrap. Their preferred indicator is the interest rate on 10-year Treasury bonds, which broke the 2.8 percent barrier yesterday. This, they say, is the beginning of a rise in interest rates that will slow the economy and pop the bubble in share prices, which even the optimists concede are "elevated,"—and the Eeyores say are inflated.
It will also increase interest payments on the national debt, which is soaring since Congress no longer contains fiscal hawks. The Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee estimates that the Treasury will have to borrow close to $1 trillion this year, almost twice as much as last year, and borrow still more in 2019 and 2020. That's a lot of IOUs to dump on a market in which buyers are beginning—only beginning—to worry about inflation.
To those who are counting on a "yooge" Trumpian infrastructure program to boost the economy in the face of rising interest rates, the pessimists point out that Congress is unlikely to agree to Trump's plan to finance it with tax incentives for the private sector. Worse still: it takes 4.7 years for the average project to obtain necessary permits. Major projects often spend a decade seeking permits. Anyone who believes that Trump can deliver on his promise to cut that to one or two years is not familiar with the ability of environmental lawyers to make certain that nothing gets built that might inconvenience a bug or a bird or a bee.
Finally, what lyricist Richard Rogers would call the cockeyed optimists, "who forget every cloud they've ever seen," are ignoring three things. First, the robust job market might prompt the Fed to raise rates four times this year, rather than the three now pencilled in. Second, consumers might not be able to continue spending at the current rate. The saving rate is at its lowest level in a dozen years, interest charges on credit cards are heading up, auto sales are already slowing, and any hint that the good times are no longer rolling will result in purse-zipping consumer retrenchment.
Third, there is geopolitical risk. Should the Democrats seize control of the House later this year (which is increasingly likely as important Republicans decline to seek re-election) it is almost certain they will try to impeach the president, no matter the result of the current investigation by special prosecutor Mueller. While that process unfolds it will take a lot of tough-minded investors to avoid an irrational lack of exuberance; it will take foreigners enthusiastic enough about America to ignore our mounting debt and political instability; and it will take investors and CEOs imbued with animal spirits to keep share prices elevated and business investment high.
In part the differences between the optimists and the pessimists is related to the time-spans on which they focus. Talk to cockeyed optimists about the long-run, when the bills for the tax cuts come due, and they will remind you that the great John Maynard Keynes assured us that in the long run we will have no earthly concerns. To them, this past week's plunge in share prices is normal volatility.
Tell the gloom-besotted that analysts both on the left and the right of the political spectrum say we are in "a Goldilocks moment", and they cite Maurice Obstfeld, chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, who warns, "the next recession may be closer than you think." Change "may be" to "is," and you have true Eeyores. To them, last week's market drop is a warning that the party is coming to an end. Not for them "This time is different."
That difference between the cock-eyed optimists and the Eeoyres is the source of anxiety. Stay in the market and risk substantial losses. Get out, and risk missing the next great upward move. Not for investors "don't worry, be happy."

The settlement journey has continued for our 23 families in Armidale this July, with special emphasis on working directly with newcomer leaders and youth to establish their interests and support them in what they hope to achieve in Armidale. I've also had new opportunities to meet more of the amazing community groups around Armidale, who are excited to explore ways of helping our new families settle.
Dr David Gillespie (Assistant Minister for Children and Families) and Barnaby Joyce (Member for New England) met with SSI staff and newcomer families during a recent visit to our Armidale office. It was a great opportunity to discuss regional settlement practice as well as to engage directly with those who have moved to Armidale with the vision to create a better life for themselves and their children. Newcomer families expressed their gratitude to the Armidale community for the welcome and support they have received since arriving in Australia and the sense of safety the community provides- photos attached.
Leaders of the newcomer community have been meeting with SSI's Humanitarian Settlement Program Team Leader Bintu Kamara and I on a fortnightly basis. The purpose of this working group is to foster leadership, build necessary knowledge and skills to empower and ultimately build connections within the Armidale community. The newcomer community have expressed interest in employment, continued development of English skills and undertaking excursions within the local area. Projects are underway to support these aspirations thanks to their leadership and an amazing response from services and businesses in the area.
A number of young people from among our newcomers met with Bintu I on two occasions over the school holidays, to discuss what they want from living in Armidale and to shine a light on their interests and talents. These young people were very engaged and eager to share their thoughts, as well as grateful to be given the opportunity to explore what support services and activities they could participate in to meet other Armidilians. One youth member mentioned that they had been living in a camp for so long that life had only seemed to involve going to and from school and little else. A few popular areas of interest expressed by our young community members included photography, dance and music.
As part of our ongoing partnership with Armidale Regional Council, I was fortunate to meet, provide updates and answer questions in relation to SSI's work with the newcomers, as well as explaining a number of opportunities we're currently exploring with groups and businesses to assist refugee settlement in Armidale.
I was invited to attend the Sustainable Living Association Annual General meeting whereby I sat on a panel alongside Northern Settlement Services and Sanctuary. The purpose of the panel discussion was to brief the community about refugee settlement, establish ways for the broader community to be involved and welcome newcomers to the region. It was great to be involved in such an initiative.
I met with members of the Armidale Lions Club and provided an update in relation to the SSI settlement process. The Lions Club members were very accommodating and it was great to have a chat over dinner regarding amazing work they undertake in the Armidale community and how we may work together in the future.
SSI Armidale received a trailer load of donations from Big L, Possum and a family from Woy Woy this week. They travelled 500kms to provide donations of clothing, blankets, books, toys and linen. It's such a generous gift to the newly arrived families and we are so appreciative of the thought and effort to gather the goods and drive to deliver them to us in Armidale.

DUIs can cost thousands of dollars in fines and court ordered fees. On top of that, DUI convictions lead to substantially higher car insurance rates. Our research shows that drivers with DUIs can expect to pay an additional $4,000 on car insurance over a three to five-year period.
1. Defendants with private attorneys are three times more likely to get a DUI charge reduced than those without.
2. People with DUIs pay, on average, $830 more per year for car insurance than people with clean driving histories.
3. A DUI charge raises insurance rates by $1460 more than a negligent or reckless driving charge over a three-year period.

The National Cancer Institute has stated: "Many studies, in both humans and animals, have shown no association between fluoridated water and risk for cancer," and in 2006 a panel of the National Research Council — an arm of the National Academies of Science — found no convincing evidence of a causal link between fluoridation and cancer.

Fluoridation opponents cite an "exploratory" Harvard study in the mid-1990s associating fluoride with osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer. The author herself described the study as having "limitations. " In addition, the principal investigator of the study has stated that further analysis does not support this association .
--CDC Water Fluoridation Homepage. http://www.cdc.gov/fluoridation/65_years.htm Accessed July 15, 2013.
Studies cited as showing a link between lower IQ and fluoride have been proven to be problematic. British researchers evaluated the studies from China and other countries and found "basic errors." An October 2012 Harvard study noted similar problems with these studies as well. These researchers pointed out that the lower IQ could be traced to other factors, involved fluoride levels that were at least double or triple the level of fluoridated drinking water in the U.S. and the average difference "may be within the measurement error of IQ testing."

One one time or another, every paddler will capsize in their boat. Knowing how to handle the situation if you swamp, and knowing how to assist others, is an important skill for every paddler. The following pictures were taken during a canoe recovery demonstration at the Blackstone Valley Paddle Club Training Night on July 6th.
The first step to safety takes place on shore - always wear your life jacket or PFD. In this picture, the swimmer floats easily in his PFD near his capsized boat while deciding the proper course of action. If close to shore, swimming or wading back to shore is usually the easiest and safest option.
In the middle of a lake where swimming to shore is not an option, re-entering your boat from the water may be necessary. With a canoe, this usually means a boat over boat recovery. In this picture, the up-side-down canoe is pulled on to another boat to begin emptying the water.
With the empty canoe resting up-side-down on the another boat, it is easy to roll the canoe over and return it to the water.
With the canoe empty and floating freely in the water, the swimmer can climb back into the boat. In this picture, another paddler moves into position to brace the far side of the canoe and assist the swimmer in reentering.
With a strong kick, the swimmer lifts his body up into the boat until his hips are across the nearest gunwale.
The swimmer then rolls on to his back and sits in the bottom of the canoe. Other paddlers help the swimmer recover his paddles and gear. If the canoe took on water during the reentry, it can be bailed or pumped.
The paddler safely back in the boat.
Thanks to Erik Eckilson, Kent Cameron and Wayne Leary for participating in this demonstration. Pictures by Cheryl Thompson Cameron.

In the final days of his campaign, Mr. Trump was endorsed by the veterans of the Bay of Pigs invasion — a group of CIA-trained Cuban exiles who unsuccessfully tried to topple the Fidel Castro regime in 1961.
Rightly, the island government fears that when Mr. Trump moves into the White House, he will put President Obama's thaw back on ice. After all, Cuba has seen an increase in the flow of capital it needs to keep its failing economy afloat.
And on the streets, Cubans who dream of coming to the United States see their goal at risk. They fear that Mr. Trump, who has often spoken of reducing the influx of immigrants to the nation, will eliminate migratory privileges, such as visas programs, that allow Cubans to resettle in the United States.
It is possible that before Jan. 20, when the real-estate magnate takes office, there will be increased attempts to cross the Florida Straits, or there will be a jump in the number of Cubans making their way to the United States through other countries.
No doubt, such a renewed exodus will have an impact on South Florida.
The restlessness on the island coincides with an announcement last week of military exercises in Cuba. Cuban authorities say the exercises will be held from Nov. 16 thru 18.
The objective is to "raise the country's willingness to defend and prepare the troops and the population to deal with the enemy's different actions," according to a statement in the official newspaper Granma.
But who is the enemy the Cuban government refers to in the announcement?
Is it the United States, the so-called "Yankee imperialist," the term the Castro regime used for the United States before President Obama set each nation on a road to cordiality? Keeping the population fearful and alert for a possible foreign invasion from the United States has long been a Castro tactic.
Just like previous Republican and Democratic administrations in the last half a century, Mr. Trump likely has no interest in launching a military operation against the old enemy. So ordering military exercises to confront the hypothetical "enemy actions," is a sign of the paranoia that has characterized the Cuban regime.
It is possible that the real intention of the Castro government with these exercises is, as on previous occasions, to distract the people from the real threats facing the Cuban people, those from within: lack of freedoms, economic crisis, despair at the system failure.
The war maneuvers will be nothing more than a useless display of a military power that has dissipated since the Soviet Union pulled out of the island. Neither Mr. Trump nor anyone in the U.S. government entertains the crazy idea of invading Cuba.
The real enemy of the Cubans is not in Washington, but on the island itself.

New Music Alert: "Young Heroes" Added to Playlist
by Curators Playlist | Jan 16, 2020 | Country, Country Music, Country Rock, Cowboy, Indie Music, Playlists, Recently Added, Spotify, Updates
By Gulf Stream Riders
From the album Young Heroes
Gulf Stream Riders, aka Ceej Anderson and Nalle Ahlstedt, are former members of a hard rock band that had a record deal with Warner Music in Scandinavia and toured the clubs in LA. After a breakup that lasted many years, with Ceej studying back home in NY and Nalle writing for artists around the world, they reunited to pursue the longtime dream of making the kind of music closest to their hearts; country.
Young Heroes is an updated version of a tune Ceej and Nalle released in the early 90's. The resulting changes to the lyric end up being a conversation between former and current selves. The largely unchanged verse lyrics are full of optimism for the future. The revised chorus lyric is full of gratitude for the creative process. The syncopated guitar riff, slide guitar accents, and bittersweet vocals weave together nicely, then builds into a big, rolling, infectious chorus to bring it home.
The photograph used as cover-art is their old band Wighthouse Wanderland from the 90's.

Lonely Mile
By The Remus Tucker Band
From the album Lonely Mile
In a small Rocky Mountain town in Colorado is where you'll find some of the finest southern rock music west of the Mississippi. The Remus Tucker Band is a five-piece powerhouse of good ol' fashioned southern rock and outlaw country. Formed in 2012 and releasing their debut album South of New Orleans a year later, the Remus Tucker Band has been impressing audiences with their high energy, dynamic performances ever since. They've been compared to legends such as Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet and even Led Zeppelin, with a vocal range comparable to Robert Plant meets Ronnie Van Zant. Remus Tucker has shared the stage with the likes of Firefall and John Lee Hooker Jr and performs both locally and regionally at festivals, motorcycle rallies, events and venues. In 2017 the band released a single, "Lonely Mile" which is still receiving global radio airplay and garnering rave reviews. The band is set to release another "Come On" mid-June followed by an album later in fall 2019.

Be My Wine
By Michael Scott
From the album Michael Scott Band
The Michael Scott Band, from Thornton, Colorado brings a wide range of musical styles and tastes to the table. The music is all about the "song" that blends tasteful country with a touch of rock, and maybe even some other styles that will surprise the listener. These songs tell stories about everyday experiences of everyday-people, that may make you laugh, cry, smile and reflect on our common ground with each other.
