"That's right, 'Joe The Plumber', 'Joe The War Correspondent', 'Joe The Beltway Reporter', and now 'Joe The Author' is coming to your city for a book signing!" proclaims the publicist of a new book by Joe Wurzelbacher.
Washingtonians can get signed copies at various times and locations (suburbs included) from Feb. 25 to 28, when the campaign sensation will be in town for CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Indeed, the liberal arts college in Vermont fed the civil rights activist's remarks into two additional campus auditoriums, but the crowds were a no-show - perhaps in anticipation "that Sharpton's remarks would be inflammatory," the article notes.
He went on to say that the election of Barack Obama as the nation's first black president is an invalid reason for a return to complacency.
So reads the Canada Free Press cover story by former Toronto Sun veteran columnist Judi McLeod, who says an international network of environmental groups is horning in on the agenda of President Obama's one-day inaugural trip to Canada on Thursday.

Not sure if the CBD Vape Concentrate is right for you?
BEST CBD This is the BEST CBD I've ever used. My friend also uses it for muscle relief. My job requires that I sit all day 10-12 hours and I have a spine issue. This help so much I cannot believe it. Yes, has a high price tag, but the benefits totally outweigh the cons.
Juice was great! After I finally did receive my shipment and tried this CBD juice out I was thoroughly happy with the fact that I had greater control over the 1250mg juice and it did help my pain threshold quite a bit because the left side of my body is partially paralyzed. And I was quite surprised that it helped my husband's pain as he was recently hit from behind with the delivery truck in California. He said it reduces the pain and relaxes his muscles yet he has to keep vaping the CBD juice and that is what I need to do also.

Movie review: I Am Legend (2007)
A science fiction horror thriller, I Am Legend is a compact rollick through impressive post-apocalyptic territory.
In the near future, former Army medical doctor Dr. Robert Neville (Will Smith) is the sole human survivor is an abandoned and destroyed New York City. The Krippin virus, initially developed as a cure for cancer, has mutated and wiped out most of humanity. Those who survive have morphed into violent Darkseekers, flesh eating zombie-like creatures who avoid the light but rule the night.
Neville is immune to the virus, and along with his dog Sam, he survives on a day to day basis, although increasingly slipping into delusions caused by abject loneliness. In his homemade lab Neville continues experiments to try and find an antidote, while sending out desperate radio calls to try and connect with any other survivors. Led by an increasingly bold alpha male, the Darkseekers start to stalk Neville.
The third film adaptation of the Richard Matheson book, I Am Legend benefits from terrific set designs, featuring an eerily desolate New York devoid of humanity. Director Francis Lawrence creates a bleak tableau where nature is reclaiming a once thriving metropolis, and a singular man now inhabits what used to be home for millions. It's a chillingly surreal vision of a future where civilization is wiped out, one man reverting to hunter gatherer status.
And I Am Legend thrives on the mood of loneliness. For most of the film this is a one-person show, Neville a solitary human, the story told through his eyes and in his head. His continued search for a cure appears to be a Quixotic quest for the impossible, his fight against the Darkseekers an asymmetrical conflict waiting for one slip up.
Will Smith delivers one of his better dramatic performances, carrying the entirety of the film. He combines customary cool with hints of hallucinations. The flashbacks to the night Manhattan was evacuated and Neville separated from his family provides another opportunity for Lawrence to create an imposing set, this time teaming with thousands of panicked residents and military types. The events of that frenzied night continue to haunt Neville, giving Smith plenty of traumatic depth to latch onto.
When Neville interacts with the Darkseekers the action scenes are fast, frantic and violent, and the overuse of CGI necessitates jerky and often less than coherent editing. The efficient running time of 100 minutes imposes a rushed final, and while the ending is reasonably satisfying, it leaves some intriguing Darkseeker threads unexplored.
I Am Legend offers an eerie vision of the future, beautiful in its wretched bleakness. The City's sole survivor is in a desperate fight to maintain humanity's tenuous hold on the planet, but he does get to experience the stunning roll back of civilization.

OBJECT DESIGN EYES THE MAINSTREAM DATABASE MARKET WITH DBCONNECT
With an eye on the lucrative mainstream database market, Object Design Inc, Burlington, Massachusetts, has released its DBConnect object-relational communications tool, a component of its ObjectStore Component Architecture. Originally called Gateway – until the marketing folks changed their minds – DBConnect enables Object Design's ObjectStore database to interoperate with relational databases, and works with IBM Corp's DataJoiner for access to IMS and IBM mainframes. DBConnect uses a mapping schema developed with IBM which translates C++ object schema into relational schema and vice versa. DBConnect goes from $30,000. Object Design expects there will be two major point releases of its object-oriented ObjectStore database next year with improved concurrency, scalability, failover and notification. Meanwhile the company has completed its reorganisation which resulted in the shedding of its SmallTalk development team and loss of 30 of its sales, marketing and administration folk. It says it's re-aligned along product lines and has split its marketing and sales efforts into Asia Pacific, Europe and North America geographies. International sales account for a third of its revenue. Its SQL client, which provides access to ObjectStore C++ data from SQL-based tools and applications has been pushed back to next quarter from last September. Object Design says it will have a new chief executive by the end of the month; acting chief executive Phyllis Swverski has left the company.

Q: Exponential Decay (Precalculus) I'm working on this problem.
The radioactive element carbon-14 has a half-life of about 5,750 years. The percentage of carbon-14 present in the remains of animal bones can be used to determine age. How old is an animal bone that has lost 40% of its carbon-14?
I'm using the formula $y = Ce^kt$ to model the decay.
To make my life easier, I consider $5,750$ years to be 1 time unit.
So knowing this is a half life, for a single time unit I can say
$$50 = 100 e^k$$
Then
$$\frac{1}{2}=e^k$$
Then log of both sides
$$\ln\frac{1}{2}=\ln e^k$$
$$\ln\frac{1}{2}= k \cdot \ln e$$
So
$$k = \ln\frac{1}{2}$$
Good so far.
Next we need to determine the $t$ after Carbon14 has decayed to $60\%$.
So
$$60 = 100 e^kt$$
which is
$$\frac{3}{5}= e^kt$$
Then I take the log of both sides
$$ \ln \frac{3}{5}= \ln e^kt$$
then
$$\ln\frac{3}{5} = kt\cdot \ln e$$
simplifies to
$$ \ln\frac{3}{5} = kt$$
Plugging in $k$ we get
$$t =\frac{ \ln\frac{3}{5}}{\ln\frac{1}{2}}$$
Recall that t is a unit where each unit is $5,750$ years, so the final answer is
$$5750\cdot \left(\frac{\ln\frac{3}{5}}{\ln\frac{1}{2}}\right)$$
My answer is $\approx4,237.55$ years.
The answer key says the $4,257$ years.
http://www.sosmath.com/cyberexam/precalc/EA3001/EA3001.html
Where did I go wrong?

A: I personally think you did it right. The structure and execution is correct. I checked my answer over and over again and it is correct. I think the answer key is wrong.

As Married To The Sea reappear with a song from a new EP, Getintothis' Will Neville dons his sowester to get drenched in its beauty.
Married To The Sea describe themselves as playing "rowdy indie pop", a phrase that may need some fine-tuning in the light of I Dreamed I Was Disappearing, the first track off new EP Cold War Love, that was released online on March 11. This online release will shortly be followed up with a physical CD, together with set of postcards and photo book.
The EP was produced in Liverpool by Carl Brown from Wave Machines, with the band comparing it to the likes of Spoon, Future Islands and early Bruce Springsteen.
This new track opens with singer Nick Duckett proclaiming "I've got love in places that you don't see, holes in places where it should be" before some very 80s keyboard washes kick in (think The Human League, Cyndi Lauper and Blancmange), with Simon Turner and Greg Macoy's keys even more prominent.
Synthpop marries anthemic indie to create an even meatier, beatier, bigger and bouncier sound than their previous releases, while the lyrics attest to a difficulty in regaining lost optimism. However, the keyboard pulses lift the soul and will surely send people air-punching in a rush to the dancefloor.
Although the band sadly had to cancel a date at Maguire's last month due to a family bereavement, they will now be playing the same venue on Saturday April 9 where we can expect them to showcase new material from their recently released EP.

Jan Tovačovský z Cimburka (kolem roku 1400 – 27. února 1464) byl moravský vojevůdce a šlechtic, který pocházel z rodu pánů z Cimburka. Třikrát zastával úřad moravského zemského hejtmana.

Život

Jeho rodiči byli Albrecht Tovačovský z Cimburka a Žofie z Herštejna.

První písemná zmínka o Janu Tovačovském je z roku 1416, kdy na svůj hrad Tovačov pozval husitské kněze. Na podzim roku 1420 se Jan účastnil Zikmundova tažení proti Praze, které vyvrcholilo bitvou pod Vyšehradem. Zikmundovo vojsko bylo poraženo a Jan Tovačovský byl zajat. Ve vězení pražanů prodělal ideovou konverzi a stal se z něj významný stoupenec husitů.

V roce 1421 se na Tovačově ubránil druhé křížové výpravě krále Zikmunda, ale 17. listopadu 1421 se na moravském zemském sněmu pod nátlakem vzdal kalicha. Od roku 1422 ale již definitivně přestoupil na husitskou stranu. V roce 1423 podpořil husitskou výpravu pražanů a orebitů na střední Moravu a v roce 1425 s Petrem Strážnickým z Kravař a hejtmany knížete Zikmunda Korybuta obléhal Olomouc. V rámci Korybutova pražského vojska se zúčastnil bitvy u Ústí nad Labem v roce 1426 a spolu s moravskou šlechtou bitvy u Tachova v roce 1427. Na přelomu let 1426–1427 zřejmě on vedl výpravu moravských husitů na východní Moravu, kde dobyla města Přerov, Nový Jičín, Fulnek, Odry a Hranice.

V roce 1428 jednal na Tovačově s litevským knížetem Zikmundem Korybutem propuštěným z pražského vězení na Valdštejně, který odtud odešel na Odry dobyté Janem Tovačovským. Na přelomu let 1429/1430 se zúčastnil velké spanilé jízdy bratrstev do Německa a následujícího roku bitvy u Domažlic. Ve spolupráci se slovenskými sirotčími posádkami dobyl v letech 1433-1434 některá města na středním Slovensku. Od 9. září 1434, kdy spolupodepsal první porevoluční landfrýd na Moravě přešel na stranu krále Zikmunda Lucemburského a Albrechta Habsburského, což mu vyneslo v roce 1437 úřad moravského zemského hejtmana.

Ještě v roce 1444 údajně popravil Heralta z Kunštátu na Lestnici, strýce pozdějšího krále Jiřího z Poděbrad, ale v roce 1447 s manželkou Žofií z Kunštátu, sestrou Jiřího z Poděbrad určil Jiřího Poděbradského za poručníka svých dětí. Zúčastnil se jak korunovace Ladislava Pohrobka v roce 1453, tak korunovace Jiřího z Poděbrad v roce 1458. Podporoval krále Jiřího Poděbradského na taženích do Rakous v letech 1458 a 1462 i při jeho politických jednáních.

Z funkce moravského zemského hejtmana odstoupil na konci roku 1459. Zemřel 27. února 1464 a zůstali po něm synové Ctibor (význačný právník, autor Knihy Tovačovské a moravský zemský hejtman), Jan mladší a Jaroš a dcera Jitka.

Aligern is one of six possible companions in Torment: Tides of Numenera. This former Aeon Priest is tormented by his past, and seeks to understand the tattoos writhing over his body - and take vengeance on the Changing God.
According to his own, sarcastic reply, his name means Travels With Idiots. A truly Aligern response.
2.1 Companion
2.2 Quests
2.3 Other interactions
The first thing you notice is this man's kaleidoscope of tattoos, writhing across his forearms. He wears a long, dark coat, belted at the waist, supplies filling the pockets. His boots are worn and stained with years of travel.
In a life long past, Aligern was an Aeon Priest. Lived with his family in an aldeia on the edge of the Sagus Protectorate. His life took a turn for the worse when he discovered an unknown portal or gate while exploring a ruin. It was a heavy, man-high frame of unknown material, and had an interface on the side. The villagers helped him get it home, and Aligern spent the next few weeks trying to figure out what it was and how it worked. And that's when the Changing God showed up and ruined his life.
He was in town seeking some object, and Aligern's youngest daughter brought him into his workshop so he could ask the Priest about it. Aligern didn't know he was the Changing God at the time - not even who the Changing God was back then. When he saw the frame, he said he knew what it was - gave it a name that was seemingly only gibberish - then demonstrated how to power it up with just a strand of glow braid. As the Changing God left, he said, Say farewell to your family for me.
The very next day, Aligern got the frame powered and turned it on. Out of it came a swarm of black creatures, like oil-covered sticks, thousands of them. They overwhelmed Aligern, knocking him unconscious. When he awoke... They were gone, and his aldeia with them. Everyone, friends, family, children, all gone. Aligern has searched ever since for the answer as to what happened. There were few bodies, far fewer than his aldeia had. Did the creatures drag his people back though the frame? Did they devour them? Did they take them somewhere?"
He only knew it was the traveller who told him how to power the frame, and the traveler who told him it was harmless. Aligern devoted his life to two things, bringing his family back, and taking revenge on the traveler, the man he came to know as the Changing God. His investigations alienated him from his peers. The Order of Truth cut his funding and demanded he cease his research, no book or data device has mentioned the frame, and he heard no rumors of anything remotely like it.
That's when he found Callistege. She was known for finding things so, despite her reputation for unreliability. He approached her, and she accepted, with the caveat that he help her find a way to achieve her transcendence. She seemed kind at first, but when it became clear neither of them could help the other, she became cruel and spiteful. They stayed together out of habit, atop a rotting corpse of a relationship.
Then came the Last Castoff, giving him a chance to uncover the secrets that plagued him.
This character is a party member.
This character starts quests.
Fallen to Earth
Companion[edit | edit source]
Aligern's body is covered in strange, shifting tattoos. He can use the Living Tattoos ability to pluck a strand of ink from himself, granting him the Living Tattoos fettle. While the fettle is active, he gains increasing bonuses by chaining together similar actions (attacks, healing, applying other fettles). If he uses a different kind of action, he breaks the chain and loses the fettle. This Ability does not use his Move or his Action, so he can activate it and then do something else.
He despises Callistege and considers her a backstabbing bitch. After dealing with Qorro at the Reef, he will refuse to share a party with her, believing the ambush (she's a long-time acquaintance of Qorro, after all) to be the proof of her treachery. If dismissed, he is later found in the Underbelly.
Aligern will ask you to stop by the Order of Truth, to check up on his associate, who is investigating his strange tattoos. Check the desk to the right to learn that he is away on business, frustrating Aligern's plans. You will not be able to advance his story until you arrive at the Bloom and find Orth Faung, however, be sure to bring him along to meet Aadiriis at Miel Avest. This is an opportunity to secure a major loyalty boost with him and make the old man love you - assuming you promise to help him find the truth.
Fallen to Earth: Callistege and Aligern witness your crash into the Broken Dome and desire to help you. Callistege believes the Order of Truth is your best bet, quite opposite to Aligern, who believes the Cult of the Changing God is a superior pick.
The Empty Cage: Completing this quest allows Aligern to learn the fate of his family and friends, while simultaneously determining his ending.
Other interactions[edit | edit source]
Aligern will request that you visit the monument to his fallen village while at the Valley of Dead Heroes. Doing it results in a major loyalty boost and starts his story arc.

Badlands Speedway Saga Continues as Auction Is Suspended
Mark Tassler
Jonathan Ferrey, Getty Images
After being professionally involved with Huset's Speedway for over two decades, I am simply amazed at all that has transpired since my phone rang late one evening in the Spring of 2015.
The phone call was to inform me of the race track being purchased by Chuck Brennan. At the time, I was working for the Rubin family who currently owned Huset's Speedway.
The marketing of the track was my business, and I was in the middle of laying out all the promotions for the fast approaching 2015 racing season.
I was informed that the ownership change would take place at the end of the 2015 season. And all of my contracts for 2015 that I had put together would remain in tact, but not to write anything beyond 2015.
This all made sense and I was good with it and moved forward. I soon completed some serious soul searching, and came to the conclusion that I had reached a point in my life that I wanted to retire from all what I was doing in the racing business and have more time for my family.
I announced I would step down at the end of 2015. At the same time the Huset's name came down and new owners with new plans moved in. I'm still good with all this at this point as I moved on with no regrets, good piece of mind and hoping the best for all the new people involved with the track.
From that point on is where the amazement kicks in. The track was open and operating. Then it was closed. Next it opened up again. Then racing was suspended because of various things, most notably the outcome of an election.
Then the facility just sat empty, something I never could have imagined back in the days of spectacular racing events that we worked. Then breaking news came out of an auction that was set to take place where someone was going to get to buy the track turn key.
After experiencing all the mystery of who may become the new owner right up to less than a week from the auction date, word comes out that the auction has been suspended. The reason for this twist now, has to do with county zoning laws.
The current owners of the race track have been informed by Minnehaha County that no racing events will be allowed to run until a conditional use permit is successfully obtained. This is due to the fact that no races have been held for over one year. They are calling the track abandoned. See full statement from Badlands Motor Speedway.
At this point, the future of the legendary race track is definitely uncertain to say the least.

The Iridium Communications Network's system is based on a network of 66 satellites. The satellite constellation is distributed on 6 near polar planes and each plane carries 11 operational satellites, as well as one spare satellite.
Each satellite weighs approximately 689 kilograms (1,500 pounds) and orbits at an altitude of 780 kilometres (420 nautical miles) above the surface of the Earth traveling around the planet once every 100 minutes. Unlike geostationary communications satellites which are located 36,000 kilometres above the Earth, the Iridium satellites' low Earth orbit makes it possible to communicate directly with a hand-held telephone, in the meantime avoiding the typical delay of geostationary satellite transmissions.
The satellite is linked to callers by a main mission antenna that offers 16 decibels of link margin, a signal that is strong enough to deliver high quality communications to a hand-held telephone. In contrast with traditional wireless systems, coverage is achieved by satellites that project a grid of cells over the surface of the Earth. Each satellite covers an area 4,000 kilometres wide, providing links to all Iridium subscribers roaming in such an area.
Developed by Motorola's Satellite Communications Division (SATCOM) in Chandler, Arizona, U.S.A., Iridium satellites required impressive standards of manufacturing. The satellite constellation is controlled by a sophisticated ground control network, located in the U.S.A. and in Italy.
True global connectivity is provided because each satellite is connected by radio transmission to four others through the use of crosslink antennas. By routing a call through the satellite network, the Iridium system is not dependent on availability of extensive terrestrial telecommunications facilities to deliver global telecommunications. These intersatellite links are essential for providing truly global communication coverage.
As the only proposed mobile satellite service using intersatellite links, the IRIDIUM system allows users to make and receive calls from anywhere on Earth, including polar and ocean regions.
Intersatellite crosslinks reduce the number of Earth stations required and allow for lower operating costs compared to other systems. The transmissions take place in the Ka frequency band between 23.18 and 23.38 GHz.
The IRIDIUM system utilizes a combination of Frequency Division Multiple Access and Time Division Multiple Access (FDMA/TDMA) signal multiplexing to make the most efficient use of limited spectrum.
The L-Band serves as the link between the satellite and IRIDIUM subscriber equipment. The Iridium subscriber equipments have been authorized by the European Administrations to operate in the band 1621.35 – 1626.5 MHz for both uplink and downlink.
The Ka-Band (19.4-19.6 GHz for downlinks; 29.1-29.3 GHz for uplinks) serves as the link between the satellite and the gateways and Earth terminals.
Gateways make communications possible between Iridium telephones and any other telephone in the world. Interconnection to the existing wired and wireless networks, domestic and international, public and private, is performed through ground-based Iridium gateways which are located in key regions of the world.
These stations consist of equipment to communicate with the satellite constellation and with the international switching centers of the domestic fixed network. Their functions include registering of Iridium subscribers and providing access to existing ground-based telephone networks, so achieving the connectivity of the telecommunications networks worldwide. Gateways are owned, operated and financed by one or more Iridium investors or their affiliates. Eleven gateways are scheduled to be in operation at the commencement of commercial service.
Iridium Italia and Iridium Communication Germany manage the European gateway which is installed at Telespazio's Space Centre in the province of L'Aquila, approximately 130 km from Rome. The Fucino station – the largest civilian telecommunications centre in the world – was chosen for its geographic position, optimum for serving the European continent and outlying regions. The Fucino station is also to be home to a GBS (Gateway Business System) centre, an information centre for the processing and administration of the service's data (contacts, consumption, bills).
At the heart of the Iridium gateway is a Siemens EWSD-based D900 switch. Based on the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) cellular standard, the D900 switch ensures a high quality integration of Iridium services with land-based telecommunication systems.
The System Control serves as the central management component for the Iridium satellite constellation. Two System Control Facilities are planned to be installed, one in the United States and one in Italy, in Rome. Located just outside Washington, D.C., the primary function of the Master Control Facility is to control and monitor the Iridium satellite network. Day-to-day management of a satellite constellation involves a variety of tasks, including analyzing telemetry data, to ensure that every subsystem aboard the spacecraft is working properly.
In addition, three Telemetry, Tracking, and Control Centres (TTACs) located in Hawaii and Canada, are linked directly with the Master Control Facility. The TTAC facilities communicate with the satellite network to, among many other functions, regulate the positioning of satellites during launch placement and subsequent orbit, monitor and control the position of the satellites during the launch phase and orbit phase.
Motorola's Engineering Control Center in Chandler, Arizona, serves as launch control center, responsible for monitoring and controlling the initial ascent and early orbit phase activities of the Iridium constellation of 66 satellites plus spares.
The Engineering Control Center will hand over responsibility for control and monitoring of the satellite network to the Master Control Facility after the satellites are placed in orbit.

Duke of Cambridge joins CofE's online service to mark end of Mental Health Awareness Week
The Duke of Cambridge will urge people who are concerned about their mental health or that of others to reach out and start a conversation, in a contribution to this Sunday's Church of England national online service, marking the end of Mental Health Awareness Week.
As in previous weeks, the service will be available from 9am on Sunday on the Church's website, Facebook page and on YouTube.
The service, led by the Revd Professor Gina Radford, a Vicar in Devon and a former Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England, will include a series of prayers for all those whose mental health has been affected, their relatives, friends and carers.
She will say in her sermon that Mental Health Awareness Week has had a 'particular significance' this year as more people struggle with mental health and well-being.
"For some people of faith this is particularly challenging," she will continue. "Surely, we might ask, my faith should get me through? But we need to face the reality that we are human – we are body, mind and spirit. We are all susceptible to mental ill-health, just as we are to physical ill-health."
Revd Professor Chris Cook, Director of the Centre for Spirituality, Theology and Health at Durham University and a former Professor of Psychiatry, will say prayers for all those whose mental health has suffered because of the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Other contributors to the service include Jenny Flannagan, from the charity Youthscape and Revd Peterson Feital, Missioner to the Creative Industries in the Diocese of London and the founder and Chief Executive of The Haven + London.
Ms Flannagan, who works to support 14-19 year olds struggling with self-harm, will talk about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on young people's mental health.
"Lots of young people are finding their anxiety is increasing, not knowing what is going to happen in the future. Lots of them are stuck in really difficult family situations, some of them are dealing with grief," she will say.
"I pray for all the young people that I work with that we will have the right words to help them to find the next step forward, to seed hope in their imaginations that there is a way forward, that there are other ways that they can manage some of these difficulties and to know that they are not alone."
The service will be interpreted into British Sign Language throughout and subtitles are also available. The hymns, some of which have been recorded remotely this week, are from the choirs of St Martin-in-the-Fields, directed by Andrew Earis. All were recorded separately in accordance with the rules on physical distancing. Tim Hughes kindly gave permission for the UK Blessing to be used, featuring contributions from more than 65 churches and movements across the country.
Explore the Church of England website to read the mental health reflections and explore further support available. Posts relating to the Church's mental health reflections have been seen nearly one million times.
Thousands of people around the world watch the Church's weekly services either live or on playback throughout the week. Explore the Church's full range of online resources.
According to surveys run after recent online services, up to one in five people watching go to church monthly or less, which shows they are being watched by people exploring faith at this time. One third of people watching Archbishop Justin Welby's Easter Day service on YouTube were under the age of 34.
A survey was displayed on Facebook and YouTube at the end of a recent service which indicated around 80% of people found the service was very or extremely helpful in bringing them closer to God or supporting their faith.
The Church's digital output has been seen millions of times since lockdown began.
The UK Blessing video has received more than 2.7 million views so far.
God our creator,
who in the beginning
commanded the light to shine out of darkness:
we pray that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ
may dispel the darkness of ignorance and unbelief,
shine into the hearts of all your people,
and reveal the knowledge of your glory
in the face of Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
The Fourth Sunday of Epiphany

Harvey Weinstein's Former Attorney Officially Leaves the Case
On Thursday Gloria Allred also dug at one of Weinstein's new attorneys in a press conference: "I agree that women are responsible for their own choices. But when will Mr. Weinstein be held responsible for his?"
By Yohana Desta
Harvey Weinstein arrives to State Supreme Court in Manhattan with Jose Baez (second from the left), January 25, 2019.By TIMOTHY A. CLARY/AFP/Getty Images.
Jose Baez is officially off the Harvey Weinstein case. In a Thursday hearing, the attorney—who previously represented Casey Anthony before joining the disgraced Hollywood mogul's team in January—was formally allowed to withdraw from the team by Judge James Burke.
The hearing took place nearly one month after reports broke that Weinstein's latest newly formed legal team had fallen apart, again. Benjamin Brafman, the attorney who originally represented Weinstein, withdrew from the case in January. Weinstein replaced him with a new team, which included Baez and Ronald S. Sullivan Jr., a Harvard dean who has also since withdrawn from the case.
The hearing began at 9:30 a.m., with Judge Burke quickly opening the floor to the attorney. "This is your big moment, Mr. Baez," he said. Baez approached the bench and spoke quietly to the judge for a few minutes. When the conversation ended, Baez waved goodbye to Weinstein—who was sitting quietly nearby, clad in a dark suit—and the rest of the team, including new attorneys Donna Rotunno and Damon Cheronis, before leaving the courtroom. It was a quick, cordial ending to the matter—which became tense one month ago, when Baez wrote a letter to the judge claiming that Weinstein had "engaged in behavior that makes this representation unreasonably difficult to carry out effectively and has insisted upon taking actions with which I have fundamental disagreements."
After the hearing Weinstein's team held a brief press conference. "I think it's going to be obvious that relationships had with women in this case were quite consensual," Rotunno told reporters, additionally claiming that the case had been "railroaded" and overtaken by emotions. She also addressed concerns about Weinstein's constantly shifting legal team ahead of the trial, claiming the changes have been misinterpreted by the media. "He never had bad counsel," she said.
Gloria Allred, who is representing two Weinstein accusers, gave a press conference next, squarely focusing on Rotunno, and quoting past remarks the attorney has made criticizing the #MeToo movement. "I'm not a woman who has ever subscribed to it," Rotunno told the Wall Street Journal in June. "I believe women are responsible for the choices that they make."
"I agree that women are responsible for their own choices," Allred shot back. "But when will Mr. Weinstein be held responsible for his?"
Allred also addressed questions about whether Rotunno, as a female attorney, may have a different sort of approach when it comes to cross-examining the witnesses in the Weinstein trial. "A bully is a bully, regardless of their gender," Allred said.
Weinstein has been charged with five counts of sexual assault. He has pleaded not guilty. The trial is set to begin on September 9.

Ripples is a great way to have a unique, personal, and customized connection with each and every customer. But at its heart it's a content platform, which also let's you garner worldwide attention when you can create stunning visuals for a notable day.
Heidi Bakery, in partnership with Lavazza, did just that, serving the "Megharryccino," along with miniature lemon and elderflower wedding cakes, in their cafe and along the processional route for this past Saturday's royal wedding.
They not only accumulated a huge amount of press worldwide for their cheeky, delicious, visual celebration of the happy couple, but the pictures from their activation (with Heidi's logo front and center), were also used in stories about the day completely unrelated to coffee.
Hard Rock Cafe in London got in on the fun as well, creating a specialty, 3-tiered tea service and four limited edition cocktails in honor of the weekend. And, thanks to their Ripple Maker, every post screamed 'London', 'wedding' and 'Hard Rock'.
For Prince Harry and Meghan Markle #royalwedding #meghanandharry #harryandmeghan – You could customize and print out your own design on your drinks !! Try celebrating something such as 1st anniversary, Holidays as well as someone's B-day!!


While members of the Saratoga Town Council remain mute on their ideas for local healthcare, some residents are concerned that big changes at the Platte Valley Medical Clinic are part of the plan. Those changes could mean a reduction in care. Emma Diercks has the story.
In circuit court Monday, Rawlins Fire Chief John Rutherford entered a plea of "not guilty" to the charge of Interfering with a Police Officer. Rutherford was arrested at the Hole in the Wall bar on Spruce Street in the city as police were conducting a bar check Friday night. Rutherford owns the establishment. Carbon County Circuit Court Judge Susan Stipe recused herself, as did the County Attorney. Both cited conflicts of interest. Rutherford is also the county fire warden. Filling in was Judge John Prokos of Sweetwater County, who presided over the bond hearing via a video hookup. Cali O'Hare reports.

When we are in relation we are in each others life, their major decisions, their likes,their dislikes. We are so much into each other that we tend to make mistakes. Mistakes which we do not realize until relation becomes messy.
So here are a few point you need to know and rectify your mistakes on time.
Once in a relationship we become dependent on each other so much that we take the other persons effort for granted. Its always good to make each other feel wanted . It is always good to let your male partner know that he is needed, that there are things he can do for you but do not depend on him so much that you make him feel you are worthless . At the same time do not depend on your female partner so much that she feels like you are a loser. There should be healthy dependency on each other to give you a very strong relation.
When you get into relationships the greatest mistakes we commit is we cut off out friends circle. It is always good to have something going apart from the relation. Do not lose your friends.
Yes, we tend to become like the one we love. We are so much into each other that we hardly have the personal space. If one isn't happy he or she will be unable to put effort as much as she could when he or she is happy and content. This space is very important. It is always OK to have some "ME" time in between the things that are happening. When this happen do not think the other is running away just realize that they need some time for themselves and you need some for yourself. Learn and enjoy spending time with yourself too.
In every relation there comes a time when one isn't satisfied with the decision, doings, talks, or may be not putting effort as much as other. The mistake we do is by not telling our significant other who actually is responsible to bring the required changes rather we talk to everybody about it but not to them. The other doesn't even know whats wrong half of the time. Instead of wasting time in "find out what is wrong game" you can actually talk and sort things out.
This usually decreases with comfort. Once we are comfortable with our partner we do not usually put effort like we did when we were courting each other. The number of "I Love You" decreases as we expect them to understand. We hardly buy them flowers, chocolates as in the beginning.
We just assume that the other one knows. Relationship becomes stronger over time as romance is kept alive.
Surprise them as you used to.
One of the worst phase of relation is of being taken for granted. When we aspect them to be enjoying what they did for us rather then seeing the actual effort they put in. It is love to do things for our loved once but it will improve next time when you see the effort one has put into it. May be cooking for you in the morning, if they chose they could have slept a little longer.
Cleaning after you leave. You expect they should do it but can chose not to. That is why respect each effort the other is putting for you. Thank them often. Praise them. Make them happy by liking the things they do for you. In return you can put a little effort by helping them with what they are doing.if they are doing this for you they will try to put more effort in it. if they are doing it for themselves they will be enthusiastic about it. To be taken for granted is he worst feeling one can have. It will destroy them from inside and the relation from outside. always value your partner like you did in early phase of love. If not let them go.
its a mistake we usually make as we tend to expect so much from our partners unknowingly that we get disheartened when things do not turn out the way we expect. we can reduce this by actually telling them what we want or what we are looking for . No one is a mind reader the faster you understand this the better for you.
This is one of the main aspect you should be talking about. We hide our money problems which later becomes more problematic. Talk to your partner about your loss, raise, debt e.t.c so the other can put in an effort to help you. If not help at least not to be financially depended on you for time being. This honesty will help you in long run in your relationship.


New Zealand needs to lift its game in a number of economic respects — such as productivity, international awareness and a broadening beyond low-earning sectors like agriculture and tourism — to do well in the digital economy, says former government CIO Laurence Millar.
ICT lawyer Michael Wigley claims that the Supreme Court's final judgment on the 0867 dial-up package will substantially impact New Zealand telecommunications for years to come.
In the decision, the Court said that the Commerce Commission failed to show Telecom abused its market dominance under Section 36 of the Commerce Act. This is because the Commission could not prove that Telecom would not have introduced the 0867 package if it didn't have Significant Market Power (SMP).
Wigley is calling for a review of Section 36 in light of the decision.
"If there is to be change, amending legislation is required. The Courts can't do it, as they are interpreting legislation. Until this happens, companies with SMP have a large measure of freedom to act in ways which many would regard as unsatisfactory and anti-competitive," he says.
"European law doesn't tolerate that approach. Under the legislation there, Telecom's activity was likely to be in breach. On a telecommunications appeal last year to the highest European Union Court, the judges confirmed that a company with SMP has 'a special responsibility not to allow its behaviour to impair genuine undistorted competition'. That's because competition is already weakened by the company with SMP.
"What's important is the precedent it (the Supreme Court's judgement) sets for the future. Those with substantial market power (SMP) will be able to continue to exert their power much more freely. The case largely re-affirms that right. Often the Telco Act will not constrain this use of power. For example, price squeeze, issues around bundles, so-called "pocket pricing", on- and off-net mobile pricing differentials, etc, don't fit easily under the Telco Act. That's where the Commerce Act should shine," he says.
Wigley says that a robust Commerce Act is necessary, especially given that the government has ruled that the Ultra Fast Broadband network will have a 10-year regulatory reprieve – in other words the Telecommunications Act will not apply to the fledgling fibre network.
"That regulatory holiday takes away the Telecommunications Act for this critical market development. Granted, some contraints on vendor action will be contractually agreed but market problems seem inevitable with such a major monolopy player," he says.
[UPDATED] TUANZ CEO Ernie Newman has resigned after twelve years in the role.
Vodafone is welcoming the new Telecommunications Development Levy, which will replace the old Telecommunications Service Obligation (TSO), saying it will allow the company to drive fibre to 300 cell sites that would otherwise not be economic.

NIH grant awarded for interneuron research
Maggie Crow
Dr. Maggie Crow, a CSHL postdoctoral researcher in quantitative biology, has been awarded a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant for her research at the intersection of genomics, neuroscience, and computer science. Crow, who is affiliated with Associate Professor Jesse Gillis' lab, will use the grant for her project studying interneurons, which she likens to "the 'brakes' of the nervous system."
This work will be an "ambitious and exciting extension" of her research in Gillis's lab, Crow said, as well as her collaboration with CSHL neurobiology professor Josh Huang.
"Although all interneurons play a similar role in brain circuits, they are surprisingly diverse, taking many different shapes and sizes. My goal will be to try to measure and to explain this diversity," Crow said. "Since I'm a computational biologist, I'll do this by combining data from many experiments to try to find gene expression and gene regulatory patterns that might explain differences between interneuron types."
Earlier this month, Crow was the lead author on a study, with Gillis, that provided a comprehensive rankings list for the most suspect genes in different diseases. The work could have future applications in research and drug discovery.

Looking good keep pictures coming chum444.
Neglected to mention that it is 1/12 scale.
Wow - 1/12 scale. 1 inch to the foot. Say 100 ft full size, so model must be around 100 inches or so. I think 1/12 scale must be a typo. May be 1/32, for model length around 30-35 inches?
OOOPS! Not a typo....a "braino". It for sure is 1/32.
I've got some photo's on my camera somewhere but in the meantime if you go on the subject: Svitzer Humber there are two photo's on there that I took of the Ferriby sister of the Svitzer Valiant up at Immingham three years ago. Also the Svitzer Valiant was originally a Humber based tug and then later transferred to Southampton.
Sorry I messed up in that last message, what I meant was the Svitzer Ferriby was originally based at Immingham before being transferred to the Solent. Svitzer Valiant is still very much part of the Svitzer Humber fleet.
Here are the photo's taken all over the UK.
The Warden and the Harty are the same Damen class as the Ferriby both these tugs have now both left Sheerness as the Svitzer Warden is stationed now in Liverpool and the Svitzer Harty is based at Southampton.
Here some photo's of the Svitzer Ferriby taken in Southampton. The two taken on the quayside where taken shortly after she was transferred in 2012 from Immingham and the other photo was taken on the day that the new tug Svitzer Adira arrived in Southampton back in 2017 it just so happened I was in the area at the time and managed to get a photo, the Ferriby is the tug at the rear of the moored up tugs.
Thank you Kevin. The second photo is particularly helpful.
No problem at tall Bill. I knew I posted some photos on this site and I've come across them. Look up Svitzer Sheerness Fleet and there are two good pictures of both the Harty and Warden including one where the Warden I think goes off to do a job at London Gateway so theres a nice side on photo.
I have not been through all your photos but the ones I have viewed are very helpful. You have some close ups that allow me to decipher some details.
The rest of the photo's here Biull are of the Svitzer Harty or Svitzer Warden taken down at Sheerness in 2014.


Ditch the football this year, let's spike it up and raise some money for the Road Home homeless shelter. We will have a king of the court style tournament where you will play many teams game after game trying to move up to the top court! The suggested donation is $10/team (although none is mandatory, but please still register so we can get you placed on a court from the beginning), but 100% of proceeds will go to the Road Home. We will have prizes as well, and will probably play until around Noon or so, however long people want to play!

3 Popular Volley Games To Break Up Monotonous Drills
3 popular volley games that are sure to please even the toughest players.
As summer sports camp season comes to a close, it's time to sit back and reflect on the camps we've run. How did the players benefit from the camp? Did they learn all the necessary skills for your sport? Did they have fun? Were they challenged? And most importantly, will they be returning next year?
All these questions and more are essential during this reflection period because, for sports camps to grow in numbers and in popularity, players and coaches alike need a balance of work, rest, and activities.
When planning each sports camp, breaking down each day, each session, and each hour, as a coach, our primary focus is, of course, the skill set. Learning and implementing our sport and creating competitive players is our ultimate goal. We like to start with the basics of a passing platform, arm swing, and footwork in volleyball. We'll then move into the difference between defense, offense, and serve to receive before eventually shifting into the 6-on-6 competition environment.
The trickiest thing about a summer volleyball camp is condensing a season-worth of skill sets into one short week. For this reason, we keep a camper-to-coach ratio of 8-1 and break up each day into three sessions with laser-focused skill work. This format ensures each camper has ample time to master the skill and form within that set before moving onto the next.
No matter their age or skill level, after a day full of multiple practice sessions that have coaches hammering them on their form, arm swing, footwork, and competitive play, even the best player in the camp will burn out before they hit the halfway point. So how then do we keep them engaged, keep them moving between drills while having fun? We play volley games! Over the years and after dozens of fall seasons and camps, I've come up with a few key volley games that I like to use to keep my players moving, engaged, and communicating with their teammates while keeping their heart rate up and their reflexes on point. But the secret is, they have no idea about any of that because all they know is how much fun they're having!
Below are a few of the most popular volley games that are sure to please even the toughest players.
1. Serving Amoeba - This game is a fun way of teaching spot serving and a team cheering and quick movement.
Start by splitting your group in half to create two teams. Put each team at opposite end lines with a ball cart. Choose one team member to sit (cross-legged) on the court on which their team will be serving. I like to start by sitting them in the one spot on the court. This is often where the setter lives and can help put a team out of the system when chosen as a serving spot them. Once their teammate is sitting cross-legged, and everyone on each team has a ball in hand, the whistle is blown to commence serving. *Note, all players on each end line are allowed to serve at once.
The object is to serve at your teammate over the net and for her/him to catch the ball without getting up or moving. If a player serves and their teammate catches the ball, the server then sprints under the net, sits next to, and links arms with that player. As more players hit the girls/guys sitting, the "amoeba" grows on the court, making it easier to hit someone sitting down.
The team is the first to have all their players sitting and linked wins. At this point, the losing team will run for punishment while the other team shags the balls. Punishments vary for each age level from 10 sit-ups to 6 full-court sprints.
I'll usually play 2-3 rounds of this game, changing the spot the first sitter begins on the court with each game. I would advise always to include the one spot and a short spot like 2, 3, or 4.
Another variation depending on age is to allow the younger players to serve from on the court. The idea is to create a competitive yet fair game that includes all ages and levels.
2. Volleyball Relay - This game is a sprinting game that incorporates teamwork.
Begin by splitting your group into teams of 8 or 10. You can adjust this to play with as little as 6 or 7 players on each team, but it's more fun with 8 or 10.
For this example, we'll assume we have two teams of 10. Put both teams at one end line in single file lines. Teams must be even, so if you have an uneven number, the team with less will need one player to go twice.
Place ten balls at the opposite end line from each team. Once the players are lined up, and the first runner is chosen, the whistle is blown. The first player from each team must sprint down to the other end of the court, pick up one ball and run it back to the next player waiting in line. That second player takes that one ball, sprints down and picks up a second ball, then turns around and runs back to the third player in line. Handing off both balls, the third player must sprint and pick up the third ball and so on.
The object is to somehow get all ten balls back across the original end line without dropping any.
*Note, players are allowed to help stuff balls under jerseys, shorts, etc., from the team end line. But the player whose turn it is cannot be helped down at the end line where the balls are.
Players must remain behind the end line, do not let them cheat by inching up to get closer to the player running back with balls.
All ball transfers must take place behind the end line. If a player drops the ball in transit, they cannot kick the ball towards their team. The ball must be picked up and carried across the line.
A helpful tip is to have the players sit down behind the end line after their turn. This way, the coach/ref can see how many players there are left to run. The first team to get all 10 of their balls back across the team end line wins!
3. Shipwreck - A personal favorite, this game will sharpen their listening skills, reflexes, and teamwork
This game works best with larger groups, so obviously, it's a great game for summer camp and best when combining multiple teams.
Start by spreading the entire group out on a single boundary line so everyone can see the coaches, and you can see them.
Start by teaching them the commands. This game is played by the coach calling out specific commands (similar to Simon Says), and the players need to complete an action to each command. Like Simon Says, there are tricks and ways that players will be eliminated.
We use the volleyball court's boundaries for this game, which the players cannot go out of. We call this the "ship". For extra-large groups, it's best to use a bigger "ship" as a basketball court.
Unknown Commands:
A: Captain's coming - All players must stop in their tracks and solute and yell, "Aye-Aye Captain!" They must remain in this form until the coach yells, "At ease". *Trick players by giving a command before giving the "at ease" command. This will always cause some players to break their solute, thus getting eliminated.
B: Port or Starboard - Define a left and right side of a court and tell the port and which is starboard. When you call this command out, the players must run to that line. Whoever is last to the line is eliminated. *Trick them by pointing in the opposite direction of the command. Some players will pay attention only to hand signals rather than words.
C: 3-men in a boat - 3 players must sit front-to-back in a row in a single file line and pretend to be rowing a boat.
D: 4-men in a boat - same as above but with four players. Any players seen scrambling without being in a boat are eliminated, as are any boats with more or less than the number called.
E: Starfish - 5 players must sit on the ground with all their feet touching in a circle. The shape this creates with the space inside the legs is a star.
F: Lighthouse - 2 players join and create a roof with their hands, while a third player goes underneath and turns around and around like the bulb inside a lighthouse.
G: Man overboard - 1 player must get on the back of another player as they pretend to scan the seas for the missing crew.
H: Beached whale - each player must get down on the ground, on their belly, all legs and feet up off the ground as they make weird squealing sounds.
I: Jellyfish - 3 players sit on the ground with their backs together; legs and arms out in front of them wiggling like a jellyfish.
J: Swab the deck - All players must pretend their sweeping or mopping the deck.
K: Bomb's Away - Players crouch down on the ground in a ball, protecting their heads. Coaches then toss balls in the air, or bounce a ball against the floor in the direction of a group of players. If a ball touches a player, they're out.
Coaches must be quick to catch late players rushing to find a group or partner or players who are late to get into a motion, form, or direction. Any outliers must be quickly eliminated.
Because elimination happens so quickly, I usually have a coach or two workings for the eliminated group off to the side doing core exercises. Coaches will stop players in exercises like planks, sit-ups, leg lifts, Russian twists, and scissor kicks outside of the central game court. Players who are eliminated must join the core exercise group. Just be sure to tell the group ahead of time where to go once eliminated from the game.
These three and many other games like them are a fantastic way to break up a monotonous drill or a session heavy in repetition. These games tend to revive my players while bringing fun, laughter, and smiles to the court.

Donald Trump Criticizes GOP Over Timing Of Move To Gut 'Unfair' Ethics Watchdog
The president-elect urged his party to focus on "other things of far greater importance."
By Igor Bobic
WASHINGTON ― President-elect Donald Trump criticized the timing of a move by House Republicans to gut the Office of Congressional Ethics, the independent ethics board that investigates complaints against lawmakers.
In a series of tweets on Tuesday, Trump urged GOP lawmakers to focus instead on issues of "far greater importance." The president-elect added the hashtag "#DTS," referring to his campaign promise to "drain the swamp" in Washington.
At the same time, however, Trump agreed with members of his party about the function of the office, calling it "unfair."
With all that Congress has to work on, do they really have to make the weakening of the Independent Ethics Watchdog, as unfair as it
........may be, their number one act and priority. Focus on tax reform, healthcare and so many other things of far greater importance! #DTS
Republicans adopted an amendment Monday via a secret ballot to place the OCE under the "oversight" of the more lenient Ethics Committee. The new group, called the Office of Congressional Complaint Review, would not be independent and would no longer be able to investigate anonymous complaints.
The new panel would also be barred from releasing information to the public ― often a form of punishment in itself, even in cases where investigators are not able to bring actual penalties against members who were under investigation for ethics breaches.
Some lawmakers of both parties feel that members under investigation by the OCE are too easily tainted by the process, even if they're ultimately found innocent. They want accusers to have to put their names on any complaints they submit.
With his comments on Twitter, Trump appeared to contradict his own senior adviser and former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, who'd downplayed the move during an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America" earlier that morning.
"The full House will vote on it today. The Democrats will have their say," Conway said Tuesday, citing what she called a Republican electoral "mandate" to make "significant change" in Washington.
"Gutting it doesn't mean there won't be a mechanism," she said. "There's also been an overzealousness in some of the processes over the years. We don't want people wrongly accused. We don't want people mired in months if not years of ethical complaint review."
In a statement released to the press, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) defended the move to weaken the OCE, which he said was in "need of reform."
"I want to make clear that this House will hold its members to the highest ethical standards and the Office will continue to operate independently to provide public accountability to Congress," he said. "The Office will continue to be governed by a bipartisan independent outside board with ultimate decision-making authority."

CS_HEIST
This is a bank heist map that I created for "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive".
The map has a lot of "close quarters combat" with a lot of objects to hide and take cover behind.
My inspiration for the map was the movie "Batman: The Dark Knight" and the game "Payday 2".
Hostage rescue: Terrorists (or in this case, robbers) must guard the hostages while the Counter-Terrorist must rescue them.
A bank robbery has gone wrong and the robbers have taken hostages. SWAT has been dispatched and has to rescue the hostages.
Development: Unknown time frame (but it was released 2014).
Engine: Source.
Game: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Mode: Mutliplayer - Hostage rescue.
Leveldesign - Carl Ahlberg.
All textures and props are made by Valve Corporation.
A major bank robbery, an action scenario, that is what I wanted to create. This was also something that I felt was missing from the selection of maps that originally came with the game. Just before starting on the development of my map I had recently watched the movie "Batman: The Dark Knight". And in the beginning of that movie they had a bank heist scene that inspired me to create this map.
I began creating my topdown and built from that. Unfortunately I do not have the original topdowns for the map. I do however have some early images from the construction for my map.
What I originally wanted for my map was for it being set at nighttime. However, during testing I realised that it wouldn't be a good idea. This was due to the fact that it would be too easy for the players to camp in darker areas outside of the bank. It was also that nighttime maps doesn't tend to be the most popular choice while browsing for a new map to play.
An early version of the map which played out during nighttime.
The final version of the map.
One thing that I really wanted to push in this map was alot of close quarter encounters. Thus I created a lot of office space with office screens that would give alot of visual cover against the opponents. Though the players would be able to shoot through the screens to make the gameplay more interesting.
A problem that I realised too late into the making of the map was that there was too little of vertical gameplay. But due to the time I had building the map I had to make the best out of the situation and consider remaking my map in the future.
Some of the things I learned during the construction of this csgo map was that:
I learned how to create a custom radar for my map
I learned how to select what type of units the players would play as.
I also improved my ability to construct a more believeable surrounding.
What I would change if I remade this map is that I would make the map more vertical for a more engaging experiance. I would also create a more inspired T-Spawn and more convincing bank vault placement.

Journey on the James (Paperback)
Three Weeks Through the Heart of Virginia
By Earl Swift
University of Virginia Press, 9780813921198, 239pp.
From its beginnings as a trickle of icy water in Virginia's northwest corner to its miles-wide mouth at Hampton Roads, the James River has witnessed more recorded history than any other feature of the American landscape -- as home to the continent's first successful English settlement, highway for Native Americans and early colonists, battleground in the Revolution and the Civil War, and birthplace of America's twentieth-century navy.
In 1998, restless in his job as a reporter for the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, Earl Swift landed an assignment traveling the entire length of the James. He hadn't been in a canoe since his days as a Boy Scout, and he knew that the river boasts whitewater, not to mention man-made obstacles, to challenge even experienced paddlers. But reinforced by Pilot photographer Ian Martin and a lot of freeze-dried food and beer, Swift set out to immerse himself -- he hoped not literally -- in the river and its history.
What Swift survived to bring us is this engrossing chronicle of three weeks in a fourteen-foot plastic canoe and four hundred years in the life of Virginia. Fueled by humor and a dauntless curiosity about the land, buildings, and people on the banks, and anchored by his sidekick Martin -- whose photographs accompany the text -- Swift points his bow through the ghosts of a frontier past, past Confederate forts and POW camps, antebellum mills, ruined canals, vanished towns, and effluent-spewing industry. Along the banks, lonely meadowlands alternate with suburbs and power plants, marinas and the gleaming skyscrapers of Richmond's New South downtown. Enduring dunkings, wolf spiders, near-arrest, channel fever, and twenty-knot winds, Swift makes it to the Chesapeake Bay.
Readers who accompany him through his Journey on the James will come away with the accumulated pleasure, if not the bruises and mud, of four hundred miles of adventure and history in the life of one of America's great watersheds.
A staff writer for the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, Earl Swift has been a Fulbright fellow and twice nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. He has backpacked the entire Appalachian Trail and completed a circumnavigation of the Chesapeake Bay by sea kayak. He lives in Norfolk with his daughter, Saylor.

'Warship' open top Bristol VRT returns home
Oct20 by busmanjohn
Although the 'Seadog' Leyland Atlanteans operated by Devon General can be described as 'iconic', the 'Warship' open top Bristol VRs that followed them can probably be described as 'classic'. One of them has returned to Devon and is set to re-enter revenue earning service wearing a new livery. I photographed it at Churston not long after it had arrived under suspended tow from Yorkshire.
VDV138S was one of the 11-strong batch of convertible Bristol VRTs operated by the NBC (Western National) on South Devon routes. It is shown here on the 124 route to Brixham, leaving Paignton Bus Station. Incidentally, it was the 124 route that I chose to put on the blind of open top Bristol LDL VDV752 when I recreated its layover in Torquay a few years ago.
Carrying Devon General fleetnames, 938 ran in service until 1992 and carried the names 'Warspite' and 'Illustrious' during this period. Rather unflatteringly, it also carried the name 'Wendy' during a later period when owned by East Yorkshire Motor Services but the less said about that the better.
Coming up to date, Dartmouth Steam Railway has bought 938 from East Yorkshire and, after some remedial work, will run it in service on the 100 route between Torquay-Paignton-Totnes. The Gardner 6LXB engine is currently seized and has been removed from the vehicle. It will be completely rebuilt by one of the Railway's engineers over the winter period. Other work will be carried out to bring it up to spec, including a repaint into (probably) the same blue and white livery carried by the other two Bristol VRTs in the fleet.
It will be very fitting for 938 to return to its old haunts next year, including Paignton Bus Station, on a regular basis. Whether I will be around to drive it is another matter, although the Transport Manager keeps dangling 938 in front of me like a carrot! Although I would love to drive for this operator again next season it is by no means certain as I have to find some other employment in the meantime.

Rob Jennings says:
could they put traditional style western national names on the livery that you will use
It would have carried Devon General (NBC style) fleetnames originally. I don't have any say in the matter but I would hope that there will be some reference to the local connection, even if it's the re-application of the 'Warspite' or 'Illustrious' name.
Bill Stickers says:
Oh no not another VRT, not exactly the high point of the Bristol story and not a patch on the Daimler Fleetline. Still with a Gardner 6LXB it should have reasonable fuel consumption.
Having driven VRT's I thought they were a real "drivers' bus". They were lively performers with very smooth acting and predictable brakes and gear change, You could drive any VR for the first time and know that you were going to give your passengers a smooth ride. You certainly couldn"t say that about the early Olympians (especially those with the "jerkamatic" gearbox) which superceded the VR, although later Olympians were much improved.
One feature of the Western National/Devon General VR's which I always appreciated was the provision of a seat over the nearside front wheel, so you didn't have to go upstairs (and lose the sound effects) to enjoy a view forwards.
I hope you will have the pleasure of driving this excellent bus next summer!
The Olympians I've driven this summer/autumn date from around 1995 but I don't know whether that makes them 'early' or 'late'. I do know that I prefer the VR's semi-automatic box. I like to be in control of when it changes gear! The Olympians' auto boxes are very smooth usually but, under certain circumstances, will change up with an awful jerk.
Stephen Howarth says:
I remember riding on this on Scarborough Sea Front. Did not like the Bow Tie though
Yes, I've seen a photo of that. I didn't like it either.
They may have been a drivers' bus but they weren't a fitters bus.
Chris Sealey says:
Hope to finally see 138 back on the road this year,since it was me that told jim that east Yorkshire were disposing of it
Well done, I can't think of a more appropriate open topper to operate out of Torbay.
paul webber says:
What is the position with this one? I haven't seen any sign of it since it turned up wrapped up like this at Churston.
Sorry, I don't know. I'm not driving for this company anymore and I haven't seen it in service yet.
Rail River Link says farewell to the Bristol VRT « Busman's Holiday says:
[…] hopping aboard the iconic Atlantean. Although the VRT ahead of it wasn't repainted when it joined RRL in 2013, the colours of the East Yorkshire Motor Services livery it still carries are almost identical to […]

South Carolina Man, Kristopher Sean Matthews Pleads Guilty to Conspiracy to Provide Material Support to ISIS
(STL.News) In San Antonio Tuesday, 34-year-old Kristopher Sean Matthews (aka Ali Jibreel) admitted to conspiring to provide material support to the designated foreign terrorist organization Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham/Syria (aka ISIS), announced Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers, U.S. Attorney Gregg N. Sofer for the Western District of Texas, and FBI Special Agent in Charge Christopher Combs, San Antonio Division.
Appearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth S. Chestney, Matthews pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge to provide material support to ISIS. By pleading guilty, Matthews admitted that since May 2019, he conspired with 22-year-old Jaylyn Christopher Molina (aka Abdur Rahim) of Cost, TX, to share bomb-making information for the purposes of domestic and foreign attacks on behalf of ISIS and to radicalize and recruit other individuals to support ISIS.
Matthews faces up to 20 years in federal prison. He remains in federal custody pending sentencing scheduled for 10:30 am on March 4, 2021, before Chief U.S. District Judge Orlando L. Garcia in San Antonio.
Molina and Matthews were charged by a federal grand jury indictment handed down on October 14, 2020, with one count of conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization and one substantive count of providing material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization. Molina, who remains in federal custody, faces up to 40 years in federal prison upon conviction.
The San Antonio FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), with valuable assistance from the San Antonio Police Department, the United States Secret Service, and the Gonzalez County Sheriff's Office, continues to investigate this case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Mark Roomberg, William R. Harris, and Eric Fuchs and DOJ Trial Attorneys George Kraehe and Felice J. Viti of the National Security Division's Counter-terrorism Section are prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
It is important to note that an indictment is merely a charge and should not be considered as evidence of guilt. Molina is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
