SIDELIGHTS: Gavin Bishop is one of the most prolific and highly honored illustrator/authors in New Zealand. The winner of numerous awards for several of his forty-plus picture books and beginning readers in his native country, Bishop is noted for his attention to background details in pictures that augment, often humorously, the stories they accompany. In addition to providing illustrations that are considered colorful and lively, Bishop has made a name for himself as an effective reteller of such traditional tales as The Three Little Pigs, Mr. Fox, The House That Jack Built: Being the Account of Jack Bull, Esq., Who Sailed There from These Shores to a Land Far Away to Live There and Trade with the Natives of That Said Land Twelfth Day of September 1798, and Tom Thumb: The True History of Sir Thomas Thumb. Additionally, he has also established himself as an original storyteller, dealing in narratives that highlight the native Maori culture of his New Zealand homeland, such as Katarina and Maui and the Sun, and in pleasant animal tales for young readers, including the award-winning Little Rabbit and the Sea and Stay Awake, Bear!
Born in Invercargill, the southernmost city in New Zealand, Bishop lived with his parents in his grandmother's little house "with a big rhododendron in front," as Bishop once told CA. He started school when the family moved to Kingston, "a tiny collection of houses at the end of the railway line from Invercargill," where they lived until he was eight. "At the single-teacher school in Kingston, there were only eleven pupils, and I was the only one in my class. Some days I got a ride to school on the back of a huge horse with two other kids. We had to climb the school gate to get onto its back," Bishop once recollected. "I had a dog called Smudge and a cat called Calla Callutsa, which was given to us by some Greek neighbors when they shifted to Wellington."
"In Kingston, we had no electricity or telephone, and we didn't have a car," Bishop continued. "Our radio ran on a car battery, but reception was poor because of the surrounding mountains. The Southland Times arrived spasmodically on the freight train from Lumsden. It was the Auckland Weekly news, though, that excited us all, with the pictures of the young Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953—the pageantry and the crown jewels."
At the age of eight, Bishop returned with his family to Invercargill, where he discovered the joys of a free library system and joined the public library. He was introduced to J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit through an extract in a magazine when he was nine. "I have read it several times since and still find it a source of inspiration," Bishop once noted. Bishop knew since he was a small child that he would someday be an illustrator. "For as long as I can remember I've liked pictures and stories," Bishop told Barbara Murison in an interview reprinted on Bishop's Web site. "I knew that I wanted to be an artist from a very early age, and luckily I was encouraged by my parents and teachers to hold onto this idea. Books have always been a part of my life and I was read and sung to by my mother and grandmother when I was little."
At the age of eighteen, he enrolled at the Canterbury University School of Fine Arts in Christchurch to study painting. "I was fortunate to be a student there when Russell Clark, a well-known New Zealand illustrator, taught there," Bishop once recalled. Bishop has also noted, however, that his art school training caused a breach with a love of drawing representative objects which he has had since childhood. "When I went to art school I had to suspend that interest in drawing things—objects—animals, people, all those sorts of things, because it wasn't fashionable to draw anything in particular in art school," Bishop explained to Doreen Darnell in a Talespinner interview. "We had to paint abstract paintings—in fact, to paint anything that looked as though it had any sort of subject matter was called illustrative. And we were told very firmly to get rid of that from our school work, so it wasn't until some years after leaving art school that I found the courage to leave the abstract painting behind me and start painting images again. The basics are all much the same. It's just that I now allow myself to draw images."
After graduating with honors in painting in 1967, he spent a year at the Christchurch Secondary Teachers' College, and for the next thirty years, Bishop earned much of his living teaching art, twenty years at a high school in Christchurch, New Zealand, and the final ten years at Christ's College in that same city. "From early in my life, I wanted to be an art teacher," Bishop once reflected. The two interests which have remained constant throughout his life, Bishop has noted, are his love of teaching and children's literature. "Books, stories, and pictures have provided a lifelong fascination for me. Children's picture books in particular, with their intertwined rhythms of pictures and words combining to tell a story in an often deceptively simple way, have always interested me."
Bishop's first self-illustrated children's book, Mrs. McGinty and the Bizarre Plant, won the Russell Clark Medal for Illustration from the New Zealand Library Association. In this story, the butt of the neighborhood children's jokes becomes a local hero of sorts when the plant she buys at the store grows to enormous proportions, eventually attracting the attention of a team of botanists, who airlift the giant plant for their collection. Zena Sutherland of the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books found this an "amusing" plot, but offered greater praise for Bishop's illustrations, calling them "boldly designed, usually dramatically composed, nicely detailed." A critic for Junior Bookshelf similarly singled out Bishop's artwork, stating that he "most effectively and subtly depicts the transformation of Mrs. McGinty's character and outlook." "I love gardening and growing things," the author once admitted. "My wife and I have times when we talk and read about nothing else. On other occasions, however, we avoid the garden for months on end."
Bishop followed this first effort with adaptations of traditional stories for children as well as original tales. His illustrations for Mr. Fox drew comparisons to Maurice Sendak from Marcus Crouch in Junior Bookshelf, and Margery Fisher of Growing Point likewise noted that Bishop's "idiosyncratic illustrations" add an element of "implied social satire" to the story that "lifts the folk-tale far away from its simple origins." Mr. Fox is based on an old Massachusetts chain story and tells the tale of Mr. Fox who is out walking one day and finds a bumblebee which he puts in his bag. He deposits this bag, in turn, with a woman and tells her not to open it. But of course she does, and once it is opened the bumblebee flies out and is promptly eaten by a red rooster. Mr. Fox continues his walk and visits various houses until he finally meets his match with another woman.
Bidibidi is an original tale about a high country sheep in New Zealand who grows tired and bored with her uneventful life and diet of mountain grass. Following the rainbow in search of adventure, she has excitement galore. Similarly, the "vigor and humor" of Bishop's illustrations steal the show, according to a reviewer for the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Book, in the author's retelling Chicken Licken, the tale of a chick who thinks the sky is falling when an acorn lands on her head. "The traditional tale may be slight," wrote Ralph Lavender in School Librarian, "but the superbly autumnal pictures make it into something which is quite special." A review of Bishop's Mother Hubbard garnered the following comment from Marcus Crouch of Junior Bookshelf: "Gavin Bishop's distinguishing mark, apart from his brilliant technique, is his attention to detail. . . . These pictures are for reading." And a Kirkus Reviews commentator, who began by noting that there is little need for another version of the story of The Three Little Pigs, concluded the review of Bishop's rendering by remarking, "Why not another version, if it's this good?"
Original tales are served up in several other Bishop offerings. The Horror of Hickory Bay takes place on a quiet summer day on Christmas in the Southern Hemisphere. While the grownups rest after a holiday meal, a monster emerges from the sea. But young India Brown—modeled on Bishop's youngest daughter, Alexandra—and Uncle Atho and the dog Smudge team up to defeat the sea creature. A Apple Pie is a traditional English alphabet book based on an early Victorian rhyming version that follows one animal character after the other in pursuit of a slice of apple pie. With Katarina, Bishop tells a story closer to home. Based on the life of his great aunt, Katarina McKay, the picture book tells the story of a young Maori woman who, in the winter of 1861, leaves her tribal home in the North Island of New Zealand to travel and meet up with her Scottish husband on the South Island. A short time later, the white settlers begin to attack the Maori homeland in the North Island to win more land for European settlers, cutting off the woman's contact with her family. Only when her brother arrives does Katarina learn what happened to her people.
Bishop further explores the New Zealand and Maori experience in titles such as Hinepau, Maui and the Sun, and Maui and the Goddess of Fire. "Hinepau is a legend-like story that I named after my mother whose family were Maori/Scots," Bishop once explained to CA. The tale features a Maori woman with red hair and green eyes who is a weaver, but all of her weaving comes out backwards or inside out. Her tribe thinks she is a witch, and she is sent away to a lonely hut where she weaves all day. As if in punishment for this, the villagers are stricken by threat of death by starvation and thirst when a volcano covers all the surrounding countryside in ash. Hinepau then saves her villagers, however, making the ultimate sacrifice. In Maui and the Sun and Maui and the Goddess of Fire, Bishop adapts Maori legends about a trickster. In Maui and the Sun, the trickster always plays jokes on his older brothers, but nothing could equal the time he tries to capture the sun. Booklist's Julie Corsaro found the tale "simple and lively." Maui makes a return in Maui and the Goddess of Fire, in which the mischief-maker brings fire to his people. Indeed, this playful trickster was also responsible, according to legend, for inventing the barbed fishing hook, an eel trap, and strong rope. "I would in the future like to produce more work of a bicultural nature," Bishop once told CA. "New Zealand children should know and feel comfortable with their Maori heritage. Besides creating a better understanding of Maori-Pakeha values, a knowledge of Taha-Maori would provide a richer and more stimulating country in which to live."
Focusing on animal characters is the 1997 Little Rabbit and the Sea, the tale of a little bunny who has never seen the sea. All day long he thinks about the water, and at night he dreams he is sailing on a little boat in the midst of the big blue sea. Asking various relatives what the sea is like, he gets different answers from each. His curiosity grows and grows until one day a seagull takes him for a flight to see for himself. A reviewer for Publishers Weekly found this story to be "a poignant and affirming tribute to the powers of imagination" whose illustrations "radiate a lustrous quality reminiscent of ceramic glaze."
Bishop commented to Murison that he still finds the "picture book format fascinating and [I] know that I will never exhaust all the ideas for books I would like to try." He further noted, "I'm very interested in seeing how far the traditional shape of a thirty-two page picture book can be pushed. I am also interested in using subject matter that is unexpected in this kind of book." Speaking with Doreen Darnell, he responded to a question of whether story or picture should come first in his books: "I've found through experience that you can get yourself into a lot of difficulties if you don't have a pretty definite shape of the story before you get started on the illustrations." Bishop further explained, "I might have a few ideas for some of the pictures, but I spend a lot of time on the story and once that's in a pretty finished state, then I can start playing around with the design of the book, and the illustrations. But if you get to a stage where you are still changing and working on the story, you can create a lot of extra work for yourself." Bishop also once explained to CA that he has drawn from personal experience for some of his projects. "I have become more and more interested in sifting through the memories of my own childhood in search of useful material for stories and ideas for pictures. The ballet libretto for Terrible Tom, commissioned by the Royal New Zealand Ballet in 1985, is loosely based on incidents from my early years in Invercargill."
Bishop has traveled extensively, not only throughout New Zealand, but also to many countries overseas—England, France, Italy, Germany, Australia, Greece, Holland, Canada, and Malaysia. He has been to Japan four times, and in 1990, he and his youngest daughter took part in a cultural exchange on the island of Sakhalin in the Soviet Far East. In 1992, he went to Beijing and Shanghai at the invitation of UNESCO to give lectures and run workshops on children's literature. In 1997, he went to Indonesia to work again for UNESCO. He has visited the United States several times and in the spring of 1996 taught at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence.
It was while teaching in the United States that Bishop came up with the idea for The House That Jack Built. Because of its distinctive New Zealand theme, however, New York editors felt the book would do better in New Zealand. When he returned to New Zealand from his year at the Rhode Island School of Design, he showed an editor the idea and sold it immediately. One of his most popular books, The House That Jack Built gives this traditional rhyme a colonial flavor, by setting the action in New Zealand in 1798. Also, in Bishop's take on the tale, the tension between native Maori and the newcomers from Europe plays a central part in the action. The House That Jack Built went on to win several awards in New Zealand, including the New Zealand Post Picture Book of the Year and Book of the Year.
Working specifically for the American market, Bishop created Stay Awake, Bear!, the story of a bear who decides not to waste all his time hibernating. To stay awake, he turns up the radio, makes jam tarts, and watches videos. But when summer comes, the bear is so tired that he sleeps all through the season. A reviewer for Publishers Weekly felt that this title "lacks the depth of imagination" of Little Rabbit and the Sea, but that it still "conveys a cozy mood with autumnal watercolor hues." School Library Journal critic Kathleen M. Kelly MacMillan, however, found the tale "lively," predicting it would appeal to children who find napping "a waste of time." MacMillan also praised Bishop's artwork for expressing the "jovial characters" and their "delight in winter camaraderie."
Bishop told Murison that the work he does for the American market is different than what he creates for the New Zealand market. According to Bishop, "The American market . . . is a much more conservative one than ours." Speaking with Doreen Darnell, he noted that publishing in the United States is important to his career. "From a financial point of view, it can make being a writer and illustrator possible, because the print runs are much bigger and the potential income from those books is much greater."
Bishop has also had a go at retelling the Brothers Grimm tale Tom Thumb: The True History of Sir Thomas Thumb. In Bishop's version, he "has added episodes of his own which appeal more to the modern child's need for action," according to Margaret Kedian, writing in Magpies. Kedian lauded the book, calling the artwork "stunning," and further remarking that "Bishop has . . . excelled himself with the text" in this, his "best book so far."
"I like to think that books are such an efficient and convenient unit that they will always be around," Bishop concluded to Murison on the future of picture books. "They are so simple and mobile. . . . Theact of nursing a child and reading a much loved picture book seems to me to be such a natural human thing to do that something extraordinary will be needed to replace it."

Letter to the editor: Seeking family members of former mill workers
Opinion | November 21, 2017
Our company is currently working with the Tahoe National Forest on a research project about the old Lewis Mill (also known as the Lewis Brothers' Mill or Lewis and Peck Mill) located south of Loyalton along Smithneck Creek. The mill began operations in 1886 and ran into the early 1900s.
We would be interested in talking to anyone who had a family member who worked at the mill and are particularly interested in finding photos of the operation that we could reproduced for use in a technical report, a public document, and on a roadside sign. If you have photos or information about the mill, please contact me at SharonW@farwestern.comor 530-304-4110.

Camera Labs Tests The α6300 & 70-200 f/4 In The Crucible Of The Tour De France
The 3-week test of endurance known as the Tour De France can be surprising difficult to photograph. Camera Labs' Gordon Laing, however, is a veteran of the race, and of course, a brilliant sports photographer. He took the opportunity of the 2016 Tour to evaluate the Sony α6300 paired with the 70-200mm f/4 lens (the new 70-200mm f/2.8 G Master wasn't available at the time of the race). Camera Labs is known to be one of the most thorough gear testers in the world and this article proves that reputation out. In 7200+ words, Laing describes how he used approached the stages he photographed and how everything performed in a variety of situations. For those whom 7200+ words carries too much suspense, Laing thoughtfully includes a TL:DR summary:
"Of all the cameras I've tested, the Sony α6300 becomes the best for sports photography at its price point, whether DSLR or mirrorless; indeed you'd need to spend comfortably more on a DSLR to match its confidence."
The Cliff's Notes summary is great, but do yourself a favor and check out the entire writeup. It's a good read and Laing is extremely thorough and detailed and he provides plenty of photos (which you can see full res) to illustrate his points.

SEMINAR IN SEOUL ON CURRENT STATE OF CHRISTIAN UNITY
VATICAN CITY, JUL 17, 2006 (VIS) - Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, is presiding at a seminar dedicated to the theme: "The Search for Christian Unity: Where We Stand Today." The event has been jointly organized by the pontifical council, the office of ecumenical and inter-religious affairs of the Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences, and the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Korea.
The aim of the seminar, being held in Seoul, South Korea, from July 17 to 21, "is to provide an opportunity for Asian bishops and others working in the field to reflect on the realities of ecumenical relations in Asian countries, and to develop effective pastoral approaches," says a communique from the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity made public today.
This seminar forms part of a series organized by the pontifical council to consider various themes associated with ecumenism. The first two seminars took place in Nairobi, Kenya, and in Dakar, Senegal, in July 2005 and "were aimed at presenting the principles of ecumenism and motivating participants to respond to the complex ecumenical situation" on the continent of Africa. Another seminar in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in September of the same year "focused on the issue of Pentecostalism and its growth in Brazil."
"The seminars have been planned in response to the needs expressed by the bishops themselves to find a pastoral response to the emerging challenges, particularly the rapid growth of new religious movements (Pentecostal, Evangelical and Charismatic)", the communique explains.
"The seminar in Seoul has been timed to coincide with the World Methodist Conference, to be held there from July 20 to 24. ... At this conference it is expected that the Methodist Churches will adopt the Joint Declaration on Justification agreed between the Catholic Church and the Lutheran World Federation in 1999, and a solemn celebration of the Word of God will mark this extended agreement, to be signed in the presence of Cardinal Kasper and Rev. Ismael Noko, secretary general of the Lutheran World Federation."

POPE CALLS FOR PRAYERS FOR PEACE IN THE HOLY LAND
VATICAN CITY, JUL 16, 2006 (VIS) - After praying the Angelus with the faithful gathered in front of the house at Les Combes in Italy's Valle d'Aosta region which he is spending a brief holiday, the Pope called on people to pray for peace in the Holy Land.
News coming from the Holy Land over the last few days is, said the Holy Father, "a cause of new and serious concern to everyone, especially for the increasing military activities in Lebanon and for the many victims among the civilian population. At the root of such pitiless contrasts there are, unfortunately, objective ... violations of rights and of justice. But neither terrorist acts or reprisals, especially when they have such tragic consequences on the civilian population, can be justified. Bitter experience shows that by following this path no positive results can be achieved.
"Today," he added, "is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel, a mountain in the Holy Land which, just a few kilometers from Lebanon, dominates the Israeli city of Haifa, also recently attacked.
"Let us pray to Mary Queen of Peace," said Benedict XVI, "that she may implore from God the fundamental gift of harmony, bringing political leaders back to the way of reason and opening new possibilities of dialogue and understanding. With this in mind, I invite the local Churches to raise special prayers for peace in the Holy Land and in the entire Middle East."
Going on to address the faithful in various languages, the Pope expressed the hope that the summer "may be a stimulus to recover the interior calm that enables us to discover with greater clarity the beauty of the many gifts we have received from God through nature, and to contemplate them in the family and with others in a spirit of friendship."
In closing, the Pope greeted Italian-speaking individuals and groups, especially participants in a training course organized by the Italian Episcopal Conference for animators of pastoral care in families: "Whilst the memory of the World Meeting of Families recently held in Valencia, Spain, remains fresh, I renew my encouragement to Christian families that they may know how to live and transmit the joy of the faith to the new generations."

ENCOUNTERING GOD IN THE SILENCE OF PRAYER
VATICAN CITY, JUL 16, 2006 (VIS) - This morning, more than 5,000 people prayed the Angelus with Benedict XVI at Les Combes, the resort in Italy's Valle d'Aosta region where the Pope is spending a brief holiday.
Before the Marian prayer, the Holy Father addressed a greeting to the religious and civil authorities of the region, to the inhabitants of Les Combes and to holiday makers staying in the area. He also recalled John Paul II who had so often lodged in the same chalet as that in which he is currently staying.
The Pope then remarked that today's liturgy commemorates the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel and explained how the slopes of this mountain, on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, are full of natural caves, once used by hermits, including the prophet Elijah "who in the ninth century before Christ undertook a strenuous defense of the purity of faith in the one true God against the contamination of idolatrous cults.
"Drawing inspiration from the figure of Elijah," he added, "the contemplative Order of Carmelites came into being, a religious family that numbers among its members such great saints as Theresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Theresa of the Child Jesus, and Theresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein). The Carmelites encouraged devotion to the Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel among Christian people, indicating in her a model of prayer, contemplation and devotion to God.
"Indeed, Mary believed and experienced, before anyone else and insuperably, that Jesus, the Word incarnate, is the Summit, the pinnacle of man's meeting with God. Fully accepting His Word, she 'arrived happily at the holy mountain' and lives forever in soul and body with the Lord.
"To the Queen of Mount Carmel, I wish today to entrust all communities of contemplative life throughout the world, especially those of the Carmelite Order. ... May Mary help each Christian to encounter God in the silence of prayer."

Viridian acquired the property from Wakefern Food Corporation in 2006. The 29-acre property is located on Dowd Avenue in Elizabeth, adjacent to New Jersey Turnpike Exit 13A. The property is in close proximity to both the Ports of Elizabeth and Newark and Newark's Liberty International Airport, and it is easily accessible from Exit 13A of the New Jersey Turnpike. Viridian secured entitlements and entered into a Development Agreement with the City of Elizabeth for the development of a class A 290,400 square foot distribution warehouse facility. Viridian completed remediation, site work, and delivered the project in pad-ready condition.
Until 1950, the site was used as a dump site for construction and demolition debris. During the 1950's and 1960's, the Army Corps of Engineers used the site for the disposal of dredge spoils. The site was lightly impacted by constituents characteristic of a historic fill site. The 13 acres of wetlands were preserved on-site.
Viridian entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the NJDEP for voluntarily remediation the site. Viridian worked with the City of Elizabeth, Union County, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on an integrated remediation and repositioning plan that included capping of the site with an estimated 50,000 cubic yards of imported fill.

제주=평화와 번영을 위한 연례 제주포럼은, 초록의 제주도 남쪽의 바위 해변을 바라보고 있는 국제컨벤션센터에서 친구들을 만나고 광범위한 주제에 대한 전문가들의 의견을 들으며 진수성찬을 맛볼 수 있는 기회다.
화기애애한 분위기가 정리된 후 마지막 남은 인상은 북한 핵이슈는 해결의 기미가 보이지 않고 어떻게 해야할지 아무도 모르고 있다는 것이었다. 한국은 연설의 자유, 신앙의 자유로 대변되는 민주주의와 자본주의라는 가치를 미국과 공유하고 있지만 미국과의 동맹을 어떤 방향으로 이끌고 갈지 분명하지 않다.
포럼 참석자들은 비난과 비방을 자제했다. 하지만 서태평양에서부터 남중국해에 걸쳐 힘과 영향력을 두고 교착 상태에 있는 국가들을 보는 시각에서 드러난 것처럼 그들의 차이는 분명했다.
미국인들과 한국인들은 서로 동의하지 않고 있다는 것을 동의하고 있는 것 같았다. 짐 매티스 국방장관과 렉스 틸러슨 국무장관이 방한 중 미국과 한국은 완벽하게 같은 입장이라고 말했지만, 그렇다면 한미 양국의 특별한 관계가 얼마나 오래 계속될 것인지 의구심이 커졌다.
북한 문제를 해결해보려다가 실패한 사람들은 한 가지 틀림없는 생각을 갖고 있다. 아마도 북한 문제는 해결할 수 없다는 것이다. 오바마 행정부에서 일했던 하버드대 벨퍼 센터의 게리 새모어는 '동아시아 지정학의 미래'라는 광범위한 토론에서 이 생각을 드러냈다.
이런 생각이 미국과 한국의 정책 결정자들을 짓누르고 있다. 한국인들과 미국인들이 북핵 문제에 대한 현실적인 해결 방법을 갖고 있지 않으면서 어떻게 공통의 접근법에 동의할 수 있겠는가?
문재인 대통령이 북한에 대해 대화와 화해라는 환상을 쫓고 있고 트럼프 대통령은 북한에 대해 어떻게 해야 할지 결정을 못하고 있는 것 같아 그 어느 때보다 뚜렷한 해답을 내놓지 못하는 상황이다. 트럼프는 정말 김정은과 마주 앉아 햄버거를 먹을 것인가 아니면 북한 핵과 미사일 시설에 대한 '선제 공격'을 할 것인가?
이곳 제주에서 논의된 모든 것을 볼 때 미국과 한국의 대통령은 북핵 문제에 있어 절대 같은 입장이 될 수 없을 것 같다. 그 이유는 실행가능하며 검증 가능한 이해를 서로 갖는다는 자체가 어렵고 북핵 문제에 대한 두 대통령의 철학, 관점, 접근법이 매우 다르기 때문이다.
문재인 대통령은 자신이 최근에 임명한 보좌관과 장관들과의 입장 차이에도 불구하고 북한에 화해의 손길을 내밀며 김정은이 핵 개발과 미사일 발사 실험을 중단시키려고 설득할 것이 분명하다.
반면에 트럼프는 시진핑이 북한을 자제시킬 수 있는지 기다리고 있다. 시진핑이 실패한다면 트럼프는 자신의 손으로 결과를 내보려고 할 수 있다. 하지만 트럼프 자신을 포함해서 트럼프가 어떻게 할지는 아무도 모른다.
한 가지 분명한 것은 트럼프가 중국 카드를 포기하고 군사적 방법을 선택한다면 문재인과 트럼프는 서로 쳐다보지도 않을 것이라는 점이다. 트럼프는 중국이 김정은을 자제 시킬 수 없다고 판단하면 정말 북한에 군사행동을 감행할 수 있을까? 북한의 미사일 실험은 지금까지 비난과 추가 제재만을 가져왔다.
하지만 미국 본토를 공격할 수 있는 북한의 대륙간 핵탄두 미사일의 위협이 임박하면 트럼프의 결정을 재촉할 수도 있다. 만일 북한이 6차 핵실험을 하고 중국이 북한에 대한 원유 공급을 중단하지 않으면 이것은 트럼프가 북한에 군사공격을 감행할 충분한 이유가 될까?
이 질문들은 역사적인 한미동맹 뿐 아니라 두 나라를 묶어왔던 일련의 가치들을 시험하게 될 것이다. 한국은 자유와 공개선거를 명시한 '민주 헌법'을 채택한 후 지난 30년 동안 세계적으로 자유와 개방 사회의 본보기가 되어왔다. 한국의 민주주의는 완벽하지 않다. 하지만 미국인들이 2차 세계대전 후 피 흘리며 싸워 지킨 나라들 중 그 어떤 곳보다 민주적인 이상에 근접한 나라이다.
한국인들은 미국과 맺은 유대관계를 잊을 수 있다. 하지만 군사, 학문, 교역, 연예, 과학, 예술 등 모든 분야에서 이 유대관계는 존재하고 있다. 북한에 대한 입장 차이는 문 대통령이 워싱턴에서 트럼프 대통령을 만날 때 이 유대관계를 시험하는 이유가 될 수 있다. 그들은 북한을 어떻게 해야 할지 두고 동의하지 않을 수 있다.
하지만 동맹의 역사는 한국과 미국의 대통령이 북핵 문제 뿐 아니라 다른 이슈에서 서로 주의 깊게 듣고 긴밀히 협력하도록 만들 것이다. 한국에서 민주주의 부상은 한미 양국 대통령이 서로 아무리 동의하지 않더라도 서로의 극단적인 시각을 동맹 보존이라는 바람직한 방향으로 돌리게 하는 또 다른 이유가 될 것이다.
한국의 안보, 동북아와 태평양 지역의 권력 균형, 한국인들과 미국인들의 권리와 이익들은 두 대통령이 더 나은 미래를 기대하며 오늘 좋은 관계를 세워가는 데 달려 있다.
JEJU = The annual Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity is an occasion for meeting and greeting friends and contacts, listening to experts on a wide range of topics and savoring sumptuous dining at the International Convention Center overlooking the rocky southern coast of this verdant island province.
After all the friendly exchanges are done, however, one final impression emerges: the North Korean nuclear issue is further than ever from resolution, and nobody knows what to do about it. Nor is it clear where the Republic of Korea is going in its alliance with the U.S. despite sharing the values and forms of democracy and capitalism embellished by freedom of speech and freedom to worship (or not worship).
Participants in the forum refrained from insults and name-calling, but their differences were obvious as they reflected the viewpoints of countries locked in an unending standoff for power and influence from the western Pacific to the South China Sea. Americans and Koreans were just as likely to agree as to disagree, raising the question of how long the special relationship can endure despite the claims of U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson during visits to Seoul that the U.S. and Korea are "in lockstep."
The failure of anyone to come up with a solution to the North Korean conundrum leaves one unmistakable impression: maybe the problem actually is insoluble. One of the more knowledgeable participants, Gary Samore of the Belfer Center at Harvard, formerly with the Obama administration, evinced that sentiment in a wide-ranging discussion on "the future of geopolitics in East Asia." That sense weighs heavily on policy-makers in Seoul as well as Washington. How can the Koreans and Americans agree on a common approach when they have no realistic idea what to do?
Indecision has never been higher than now as President Moon Jae-in fantasizes dialogue and reconciliation and President Trump seems unable to decide where he stands. Would he really like sitting down with Kim Jong-un for a hamburger or would he prefer a "preemptive strike" against the North's nuclear and missile facilities?
Judging from all that was said here in Jeju, the American and South Korean presidents may never come to an understanding on the North Korean nuclear issue. One reason for the gulf between them is that a viable, verifiable understanding is far out of reach for anyone. The other is they have deep differences in philosophy, outlook and approach toward the issue.
Moon would doubtless like to persuade Kim Jong-un to stop the testing long enough to be able to follow through on gestures toward reconciliation despite divisions among his newly appointed aides and ministers. Trump, meanwhile, is waiting to see if China's President Xi Jinping can restrain North Korea. If Xi fails, Trump may take matters into his own hands with results that are difficult to anticipate. No one, possibly including Trump, knows what Trump will do.
One thing is sure: Moon and Trump will not see eye to eye if Trump gives up on the Chinese and chooses a military "option." Might Trump, seeing the Chinese unable to restrain Kim Jong-un, decide now is the time to act? North Korean missile tests so far have aroused only denunciations and tighter sanctions, but the threat of a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead to the U.S. might induce Trump to act precipitously. Would a sixth nuclear test induce enough outrage for Trump to want to strike if China does not respond by cutting off the North's oil supply?
These questions are sure to test not only the historic Korea-U.S. alliance but an array of values that bind the two countries together in ways that may define precise definition. Korea over the past 30 years, since promulgation of the "democracy constitution" that set the course for free and open elections, set an example for the world of a free and open society. Korean democracy may be far from perfect, but it comes much closer to the democratic ideal than almost any other nation for which Americans have fought and died since World War II.
It's possible for Koreans to forget the bonds they have formed with the United States, but they exist on all levels from military to academic, from commerce to entertainment, from scientific to artistic. Differences over North Korea are sure to test that relationship when Moon sees Trump in Washington. It's possible they will not agree on what to do about North Korea.
The history of the alliance, however, will compel the presidents of Korea and the U.S. to listen carefully to one another in an effort at coordinating closely on North Korea as on other issues. The rise of democracy in South Korea adds to the urgency for these two leaders, however they disagree, to sublimate their more extreme views in the interests of preserving the alliance. The security of South Korea, the balance of power in Northeast Asia and the Pacific, and the rights and interests of Koreans as well as Americans are at stake as they build on today's relationship in hopes of a better tomorrow.

Washington, D.C.: CitiFinancial Servicing and CitiMortgage (both subsidiaries of Citibank) were accused by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB ) of misinforming consumers seeking foreclosure relief, and subsequently ordered the two subsidiaries to pay an estimated $28.8 million.
The allegations stated CitiMortgage had requested files already submitted or files unnecessary to the relief-seeking process from consumers.
CitiFinancial Servicing was accused of improper presentation of foreclosure relief options to consumers, and charging credit insurance to some borrowers that should not have been assigned those costs.
CitiMortgage is asked to pay "an estimated $17 million to compensate wronged consumers, and pay a civil penalty of $3 million," while CitiFinancial Servicing is asked to "refund approximately $4.4 million to consumers, and pay a civil penalty of $4.4 million," according to the release from the CFPB.


I knew it was bad the other day when I asked my hubby if he liked my xmas decor and he said, "All you did was throw a couple of xmas dish towels in the kitchen and break out the penguin spatulas."
So now I am in mommy blog envy. Where the *bleep* is our stork? is listing the 21 ways to be selfless this holiday season. LBG is delivering doggie treats and making homemade red and green play dough as part of her advent calendar activities. Selfish Mom is visiting Times Square and the M&Ms store.
And here I am, in freezing cold NJ, trying desperately to figure out how to schedule in a trip to the grocery store as my eyebrows grow to wooly mammoth proportions. Bah humbug!
Today I planned a trip to Target, a homemade dinner using just one pan, bringing our little Martha Stewart pre-lit tree down from the attic (since we couldn't find time to go get a real one), creating our Xmas cards, and writing a blog post. Instead of the tree and the cards I watched the season finale of SOA on my DVR (btw DID THAT REALLY HAPPEN?!) and emailed my principal back. Three outta five ain't bad, right?
I am still trying to figure out how to be supermom. You know, the mom who has 95 things up in the air at once and never drops a single one? But for today, I will go to sleep grateful that 1.) my kids went to bed clean and with full bellies, 2.) I have homemade breakfasts and dinners in the freezer for them for the next 2 days, 3.) I only had to change my shirt once due to spontaneous spit up, and 4.) I cooked my hubby a warm meal that was healthy and have enough leftover for my lunch tomorrow.
So, if you truly ARE anything like me, don't feel bad about not getting to the other stuff. We're doing our best, our children are loved, and The holidays will come again next year.
Hopefully by then Obama will have figured out how to add more hours to a day.
Until then, spend your time enjoying the little victories, and squeeze in the trimmings, if you can.

FARNBOROUGH, England — 14 July 2018 — 2018 orders for CFM International's two product lines have remained strong through June, with the company booking orders for a total of 1,371 engines, including 65 CFM56 engines (military and spares) and 1,306 LEAP engines (including commitments and spares).
The LEAP engine continues to be the powerplant of choice for new single-aisle aircraft, garnering more than 15,450 total engine orders and commitments (excluding options) at a value of more than $220 billion U.S. at list price since 2011.
Total CFM production rates remain at historic highs, with the company on track to deliver more than 2,100 CFM56 and LEAP engines in this year. July 2018 marks the transition point where CFM will be building more LEAP engines than CFM56 engines. The company plans to produce CFM56 spare parts until around the year 2045. LEAP production will continue to ramp up over the next few years and the current rate will nearly double to more than 2,000 LEAP engines by 2020.

Top 10 Tom Petty Rebel Songs
Matt Wardlaw
Rebel songs have formed an important part of Tom Petty's career output as an artist. Album titles such as 'You're Gonna Get It' and 'Damn The Torpedoes' reveal that very early on, Petty had no qualms about bucking the system and if anything, he's grown more outspoken as the years roll on. As Tom celebrates his 61st birthday today (Oct. 20), we're taking a look at the rebellious characters and subjects that populate the Top 10 Tom Petty Rebel Songs.
'Change The Locks'
From 'Songs And Music From 'She's The One'' (1996)
Written by Lucinda Williams, Petty took 'Change The Locks' and made it decidedly his own, adding extra punch to the line "and you can't hear me laugh / Honey I'm laughing all the time" by punctuating the end of it with a hearty "oh!" that instantly transformed the moment into one of the greatest relationship kiss-off lines ever.
'Restless'
From 'You're Gonna Get It!' (1978)
The lyric "I don't belong to no one" sounds much more defiant here than it is in actual context with the overall tone of 'Restless,' but it would become one of Petty's main mantras in the years that followed. A delightfully surly guitar line from Mike Campbell helps to propel the character that Tom is projecting, walking rebelliously against the wind of the commonly accepted way of life and trying to fit in with a society that he's already bored with.
'Mary Jane's Last Dance'
From 'Greatest Hits' (1993)
Whether you believe that this song is about a girl, or perhaps more likely, about a certain illegal green leafy substance, it doesn't get much more rebel-like than the scenery of the video for 'Mary Jane's,' in which Petty plays a morgue employee who decides to cart a corpse (that's Kim Basinger) home for a dinner date. It's one of the charmingly creepiest date nights we've ever seen...and one that ends with Petty dropping her off –- not at home, but instead, at sea.
'The Wild One, Forever'
From 'Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' (1976)
'The Wild One, Forever' is a good reminder that rebels live on both sides of the gender fence, often in the form of the girl that the guys are all warned about. But after a chance encounter that sticks in his memory, one such girl is all that Petty can think about. In the end, it doesn't seem like he was able to tame 'The Wild One,' but it sounds like he had a lot fun trying.
'Jammin' Me'
From 'Let Me Up (I've Had Enough)' (1987)
Railing against the media overload of endless sensationalism and headlines, 'Jammin' Me' was a collaboration that Petty and Campbell wrote with Tom's future Wilbury brother Bob Dylan. Set against a cocky backbeat, 'Jammin'' was rebelliously good ear candy that name checked Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo among others, telling 'em to shove it far beyond where the sun doesn't shine. Has anybody seen Piscopo recently?
'Spike'
From 'Southern Accents' (1985)
One of Tom Petty's most loved characters, 'Spike' is a unique misfit with a dog collar, which would naturally make him an instant mismatch with "proper" society. As a modern day James Dean, nobody's really sure what happened to Spike after he wandered out of the bar towards Interstate 75. Chances are good that he's causing trouble somewhere at this very moment.
'You Don't Know How It Feels'
From 'Wildflowers' (1994)
It's not much of a secret that Tom Petty allegedly enjoys the mind-altering effects of marijuana, but it was a whole different thing for him to sing about it so directly in a song destined for tons of radio airplay. 'You Don't Know How It Feels' got that radio play and a whole lot more, including a Grammy Award in 1995 for Best Male Vocal Rock Performance (Petty thumbed his nose at the industry and didn't show up to accept the award). Perhaps most importantly, 'You Don't Know How It Feels' introduced the music of Tom Petty to an entire new generation of fans.
'The Last DJ'
From 'The Last DJ' (2002)
Both the album and the title track of Tom Petty's 2002 release 'The Last DJ' found him attacking the music industry with a new vengeance. Petty lead the way as the growing backlash against soulless corporate radio programming was percolating at a particularly high level. Petty's words against radio weren't taken kindly at the time and by 2010, he told Mojo magazine that the song had been misunderstood, insisting 'The Last DJ' was really about "losing our moral compass" as a society.
'I Won't Back Down'
From 'Full Moon Fever' (1989)
Featuring some guest guitar licks from Petty's Wilbury buddy, the late great George Harrison, 'I Won't Back Down' stands tall as a lifelong mission statement for Tom Petty. It also acts as a handy and very successful f—k you to Petty's record company, who rejected the 'Full Moon Fever' album initially, saying that they didn't hear the potential hit singles. (Which explains the lyrics on the title track of Tom's next album 'Into The Great Wide Open,' a song that probably could have been on this list as well.)
'Rebels'
It's appropriate that Tom Petty's best rebel song was born in an figuratively acidic pool of Tom's own angry piss and vinegar. While recording 'Rebels,' Petty became so frustrated with his inability to properly frame the arrangement that he punched a wall at the studio, breaking his hand in the process. Producer Jimmy Iovine eventually came in to help Tom fully realize the creative vision he was trying to concoct, but the story became one of the more famous tales of Petty's hard-headedness.

Nicola Gwyer
The Guided Busway will be partially closed due to roadworks
Due to A14 roadworks, the Guided Busway will be partially closed this summer for weeks.
The first round of closures will take place for more than two weeks, from midnight on Friday June 21 until 5am on Monday July 8.
It will later be closed for more than a month, from midnight on Wednesday July 24 until 5am on Wednesday September 4.
Diversions will be in place throughout this time, this is to enable roadworks to be carried out on the A14.
Guided Busway closures and diversion routes (Image: Stagecoach)
The following diversions will be in place:
Busway Route A/D will leave the track at Histon (turning right onto Cambridge Road) and through Orchard Park to Cambridge Regional College (CRC), where it will rejoin it's normal route.
Passengers are able to board and alight at the stops just outside the Mace Shop and at CRC.
Busway Route B will leave the track at Histon (turning right onto Cambridge Road) and will continue along Histon Road.
Passengers are able to board and alight at the stops just outside the Mace Shop and at stops just South of King's Hedges Road.
Those intending to board at Orchard Park are advised to use stops on the opposite side of the road and board Busway A services.
The map below shows the closed areas and diversion routes.
Guided busway safety improved after recent incidents - but is it enough?
Buses which cause 'too much pollution for London are being sent to Cambridge instead'

Diamond Nutritionals' Adrenal Support Formula is used to support adrenal gland regulation.
A balanced vitamin and mineral supplement regimen is critical when addressing adrenal regulation. The synthesis and secretion of cortisol is largely dependent on adequate supplies of various vitamins. Vitamin C is needed for steroid biosynthesis and is depleted from the adrenal cortex upon high cortisol secretion. Niacin derivatives are also necessary cofactors for steroid biosynthesis. Pantothenic acid is vital to maintain steroid secretion from the adrenal cortex.
Siberian ginseng, Rhodiola rosea, Glycyrrhiza glabra, and Schizandra chinensis are all considered to be adaptogenic herbs. Adaptogens are substances that nonspecifically increase the resistance of stress and exerts a balancing effect on various systems in the body (immune, central nervous, etc).
Siberian ginseng has been approved by the Commission E as a tonic to help with fatigue and concentration. Compounds of Siberian ginseng known as eleutherosides, have been shown to be the primary compounds responsible for its adaptogenic activity.
Rhodiola rosea has been used in Russia as an agent to support fatigue, mental clarity, and memory. In Sweden, Rhodiola rosea has been recognized as an anti-fatigue agent. In Denmark Rhodiola rosea is registered as a medical product in the category of botanical drugs.
Schizandra chinensis has been used for centuries in China and Russia as an adaptogen. Schizandra has been used to enhance mental clarity, alleviate stress, and promote emotional wellness.
Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) contains compounds known as glycyrrhizin. These compounds have a structure very similar to corticosteroids and have been shown to block the enzyme responsible for converting cortisol to the inactive cortisone.
SUGGESTED USE: As a dietary supplement, 2 capsules 1-2 times per day or as recommended by your health care professional.
My saliva hormone test showed severe adrenal fatigue due to low cortisol levels. My doctor recommended Adrenal Support Formula. Within 2 weeks I felt much better. Within 4 weeks, my energy and mental focus were better than when I was young! Best supplement I have ever used!
My doctor recommended this formula for my adrenal fatigue and I feel like I have my life back. I had been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue and low DHEA, so I ordered that as well. Both products are great. Great company to deal with!
This formula gave me back my energy and mental focus. I had adrenal fatigue for about 5 years and nothing else helped.
Adrenal Support Formula has greatly improved my energy and mood. I am able to exercise more without fatigue. I now take Foundation Vitamins, Vitamin K2 with D3, 5,000, and Balanced Omega Formula with it. Now my husband does too! Great products!
Great product. Raised my saliva cortisol levels back to normal.
Raised my cortisol levels back to normal in 4 months. I have much more energy and mental focus. This was the first product that helped me. My functional medicine doctor recommended it. She shared with me that she had great results with it herself and began using it in her practice. Very thankful!

THE club History
The club was formed on March 21st 1926. Doncaster lacked a real cycling club and several attempts had been made to form a Doncaster section of the CTC. Without success. Various cyclists in the town belonged to outside clubs at Rotherham, Mexbourgh and Sheffield. However it was felt that there was room for a good club in the town. Therefore a group of cyclists, including three of the founding members (Alf Huckle, Frank Pentney and Jack Steele) decided to put a small announcement in the Doncaster Gazette, inviting anyone interested in forming a cycling club to meet at the Majestic cinema on Sunday 21st march 1926 for a run to Rawcliffe. There was a good response with 30 riders turning up. An impromptu meeting was held after dinner at Rawcliffe and the club was formed.
A.G.H Winterburn was elected secretary and he carried out these duties until March 1929 when he resigned owing to studies claiming most of his time. Frank Pentney who held the office from 1929 to 1934 succeeded him.
At the end of 1926 the membership totalled 39, increasing to 56 in 1927. The first year consisted of mainly club runs but in 1927 the first club 25 mile time trial was held followed in 1927 by the first novice trophy '25' and the Doncaster to Brigg and back record was inaugurated.
At the end of 1926 the very first annual dinner was held which has returned each year since, even during the war years, although their were severe restrictions because of the rationing of food and drink.
Throughout 1927,28,29 membership increased and the wheelers became well established, and regarded with respect in racing circles.
In 1931 the first club 25 open time trial was promoted and was an immediate success. It is still promoted to this day. The first team success in an open event was the Castleford 25. The team trio being W Wood, H Brown and C West. The club had achieved a reputation of producing new riders each year that secured honours in local events. At the close of 1932 the club was in a very comfortable position financially, having £12.10 shillings (approx) in hand.
During 1933 and 1934 this balance was lost owing partly to a heavy racing programme but also due to the fact that one source of revenue was lost when the St ledger draw was discounted.
1934 was without a doubt the clubs most successful year. A membership of 125, a good club programme and our biggest success in open events. Jim Collier brought honours to the club, leading the team to success on 11 occasions. One of the most notable when he clocked 1-3-33 in the goal centenary 25. George Smith and George Parker supported him.
The club maintained a steady level until the outbreak of the 1939-45 war. During the hostilities the club did manage maintain itself. All members called to the conflict were given free membership for the duration. There was a continuation to run club championships, the novice 25 championships, the 50-hill climb and one new open 25 in aid of the Red Cross.
In 1946 inter club 25 started with Thorne Paragon and there was a full time trial-racing program including hill climb and the first milk track championship. This year also saw the return of service men. The club membership at the end of the war stood at hundred plus. Two riders, Dennis Clamp and Alf Martin, kept the wheelers name to the fore in the years following the end of hostilities.
The club T.T records initiated in 1933 began to fall as the club expanded and the time trial came into its own. The club 25, 50 and 100 records that had stood for 11,10 and 12 years respectfully, fell to Alf Martin, 1-0-46, 2-04-31 and 4-20-44. Alf was the first member of the club to ride 25 miles in under hour in 59- 35 on the 14th august 1949, all done on 81" fixed gear. The 12-hour fell to Arnold Hammond, it had being held for 15 years by Archie Fuller with a distance of 236.950 miles.
Bob Waddington was the first member of the wheelers to break even in a 12 hour with 241.842 miles on 14th august 1955. He also took the 24-hour record in July 1955 with a ride of 432 miles; this had stood to F.Alkenson for the past 18 years. He lost it 9 years later to Ron Jubb with 448 miles. Membership began to decline in the early 60s, dropping to below 50. But after 1965 with membership at 49 it began to climb reaching 103 in 1968. The decade closed with a membership of 95.
The late 60s and early 70s saw the loss of four of its older active members; all gained honorary status and were all members from its formative early days. An even greater loss occurred toward the end of 1970 when their young club captain died as a result of an accident during a club run. His name, Maurice Kelly, is still remembered today.
It was in 1974-75 when an influx of active racing men combined with residents, produced our best ever TT success. The 1975 season ended with the wheelers winning B.B.P.R team competition and the team awards for the national 100 mile and 12 hour. And Graham Huck came third place in individual competition. The triumphs were the result of excellent riding from Graham Huck, Alan Robson, Bob Bickerstaff, Baz Breedon, Mel Shaw, Jim Nixon and Brian Thompson.
1976 climaxed 50 years of excellence when in March we combined the prize presentation with the golden anniversary dinner. There have been many individuals who have helped the club survive the first 50 years, to many to mention and apologies to the dozens of riders and officials who names have been missed. Hopefully all will be accounted for when I get around to reporting the years from 1976 to the present year.

Android News / All News / Latest Nexus 5 Leak Hints at Pre-Orders Starting November 3rd
Latest Nexus 5 Leak Hints at Pre-Orders Starting November 3rd
We know a lot about the Nexus 5 already, we know what specs it's going to come with and we know LG's making it among other facts – we've even seen it in white! – but, one thing we still don't know is just when we're going to be able to buy it. We've been teased by the KitKat guys a number of times already and we've been hearing the end of October for a long time. In fact, today's date, the 28th, is a date that was hinted at by the KitKat team. Now though, PhoneArena have been passed some new info from a tipster that seems to reveal the date for Pre-Orders on the Play Store.
In the above screenshot, you can just about make out that the Play Store is giving us a November 3rd date for when Pre-Orders start. We've been thinking for a long time that pre-orders would be starting before the actual sale of the device, given the troubles people had trying to purchase last year's Nexus 4. There's no price listed here though so, it looks like could still be up in the air but, we've already heard a number of different figures before so, it's perhaps nice not to hear another different one.
The Play Store listing also seems to give away and confirm the specs that we all already knew about. The Snapdragon 800 is here, as is the 8 Megapixel camera and the 4.95-inch Full HD IPS display. The image used in the Play Store looks very much like the press renders that leaked out a little while ago and the dimensions listed make for interesting reading. At 131.9 x 68.2 x 7.25mm the device is a little smaller than the G2, which comes in at 38.5 x 70.9 x 8.9 mm but, the Nexus 5 is listed as being a little thicker and heavier. With the G2 coming in at just 143g and the Nexus 5 tipping the scales at 220g. So, maybe Google has thrown in an extra battery? Maybe that's what makes up for all the added weight?
While we can't say that this latest leak is for real, having pre-orders start before general sale seems like a good idea to us and the timeframe isn't too far removed from what we've been hearing for weeks now. Factor in a rumored delay and this might just be the real deal. No matter what though, have your cards and Google Wallets at the ready, as the Nexus 5 is certainly imminent.


This month, it is Andrew Cullen!
Andrew Cullen, the Diagnostics Supervisor at our Guildford branch, is about to pass an extra-special milestone at FG Barnes.
Now 27, Andrew started his career with our company as a 17 year-old apprentice in January 2009. He qualified as Silver Level technician in 2012, a Gold Level technician in 2015, and in 2018 he was promoted to his current role of Diagnostic Supervisor. He's made exceptional progress, and we're looking forward to celebrating his ten-year anniversary with the business in January next year.
When he's not hard at work helping customers keep their cars in tip-top condition, he lives in Leatherhead with his partner Danielle and his two boys Freddy and Harry.
He's also a genuine Vauxhall enthusiast whose favourite car is an Astra H VXR (2004 -2010). But his dream car? That's a Lotus Carlton.


The Bradford Burial Ground (locally, known as (BBG) at 324 Salem St, in Bradford, MA, was founded in 1665 after John Haseltine, one of the first 3 settlers of Bradford, donated 1-1 ½ acres of land to the town for use to set a meeting-house and as a burying place.
The age of the cemetery is well documented in Kingsbury's magnificent book, "MEMORIAL HISTORY OF BRADFORD, MASS.", published in 1883 in HAVERHILL, MASS by C.C. MORSE & SON, BOOK AND JOB PRINTERS, 1883.
The first 2 meeting-houses (also used as the worship house for the Puritan/Congregational First Church of Christ Bradford) were located in the cemetery itself. Pg 16-17.
The first schoolhouse in Bradford was located in the cemetery. Pg. 16.
Four of the first five ministers of the First Church of Christ Bradford are buried in the OBBG cemetery.
There are many famous people buried in this cemetery.This is the burial site of all of the early inhabitants of Bradford including four of the first five ministers and at least 15 war veterans from King Philip's War (1675) to the Civil War. Also interred here are members of original settler families, church leaders and other individuals of note. This is also the final resting place for at least nineteen war veterans from both domestic and foreign wars beginning with King Philip's War (1675).
There are veterans from the War of Independence (1776-1783) including Major Benjamin Gage (d.1796, site #457 and Capt. Nathaniel Gage (d.1797, site #369) who took a company of 40 men from Bradford to the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775.
Another Revolutionary War veteran, Nathaniel Thurston (d.1811, site #174) is buried here with his six wives whose dates of death range from 1790 to 1808. The graves are marked by a row of slate stones. (A seventh wife, Frances, whom he married in 1810 outlived Thurston and died in Alabama in 1824). Thurston was a farmer and an exporter of beef. He was also founding president of the Bradford Academy's board of trustees. Bradford College was founded in 1803 by the religious parish and was one of New England's earliest coeducational institutions. Nathaniel Thurston also served as a member of the House of Representatives in 1795, 1797, 1799 and 1805 and in the Massachusetts State Senate in 1806, 1807, 1808 and 1809. Also buried here is Daniel Thurston (d.1805, site #365) who was an officer during the American Revolution, a Member of the Committee of Safety, and a member of the committee drafting the Massachusetts State Constitution. There are also those who fought in the War of 1812 and the Mexican-American War (1845).
At least four soldiers of the Civil War (1861-1865) are interred here.
There is a marker commemorating the life of World War II veteran, Raymond Winslow Stevens (d.1975, site #2) although Stevens was not actually buried here.
Other individuals of note buried in the Bradford Burial Ground include three members of the Mullicken family of stone-cutters – Robert Mullicken Sr. (d.1741, site #630), Robert Mullicken Jr. (d.1756, site #483), and John Mullicken (d.1737, site #629), as are father and son stonecutters Joseph (d.1805, site #122) and John Marble (d.1844, site #128).
Bradford area was first settled around 1649 by Rowley, MA. The BBG was established in 1665. The Bradford Burying Ground is the oldest known burial place associated with the former town of Bradford (later becoming Groveland and part of Haverhill).
Located about a quarter of a mile from the Merrimack River, the site originally also contained Bradford's first and second meeting houses although there are no remains of these buildings today.
The polygonal-shaped parcel measures 1.5 acres and contains in excess of 700 marked graves including many distinctive gravestones reflecting the work of local stone cutters. The designs on the earliest headstones (late 17th and early 18th centuries) are derived from the strong and stern religious beliefs of the Puritans while later headstones include more decorative stones incorporating winged faces, urns, drapery and other Victorian motifs. This is the burial site of all of the early inhabitants of Bradford including four of the first five ministers and at least 15 war veterans from King Philip's War (1675) to the Civil War. Also interred here are members of original settler families, church leaders and other individuals of note.
In addition to the grave markers, the cemetery also contains a flagpole, several monuments and a stone retaining wall rebuilt by WPA workers.


Positioned within the grounds of the Lancaster West Estate, this play area provides many opportunities for children of all ages and abilities to have fun. There is a large climb around that offers challenging, active play through various climbing ropes, traverse walls, slides, bridges and rope swings. For the older children there is a large birds nest swing that is ideal for socialising and keeping active. There are also various springies and activity panels to help develop younger children's confidence and assist in their learning.
The whole area is surrounded by a wooden fence that is in keeping with it's surroundings to help ensure the safety of the children using the equipment. The whole play area is covered in artificial grass to keep maintenance to a minimum and to protect children if any falls do happen.
