UK Police 'Failing To Investigate Anti-Muslim Abuse'
BBC News<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
EDL Named In A Third of Anti-Muslim Abuse Claims Online, Tell Mama Report Says
The Rising Scourge of Anti-Muslim Hatred
Threats to attack and burn mosques have been reported to Tell Mama
The police are failing to investigate hundreds of cases of anti-Muslim hate messages on the internet, according to a government-funded monitoring group.
Tell Mama, which records anti-Muslim attacks, says it recorded 1,432 cases of abuse in the last 22 months.
But Tell Mama has told the BBC it has only had a response from the police regarding 70 cases.
The Association of Chief Police Officers said it was working to address the concerns expressed by Tell Mama.
After recording details of the abuse, Tell Mama (Measuring Anti-Muslim Attacks) reports directly to the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) hate crime reporting system.
The group - which was set up two years ago - told the BBC 5 live Investigates programme that the police response has been poor and last month it wrote a letter to the Acpo president Sir Hugh Orde, complaining about the lack of action.
It cited two prolific social media users who promote their anti-Muslim beliefs daily.
Fiyaz Mughal is the founder of the interfaith Faith Matters organisation, which runs Tell Mama.
"It is worrying for us, given that the number of call-backs and subsequently the number of investigations that have moved forward have been extremely small in comparison to the volume of hate crimes we have sent in to police forces," he said.
"They go from harassment and abusive name-calling right the way through to threats - threats to come round to somebody's house and harm them, threats to attack or do something to a mosque, threats even to burn a mosque.
"That's the level of what we are passing through and there have been numerous occasions where we have sent information about direct threats to mosques, which frankly we haven't heard anything about. That is worrying."
Social Media Abuse
One 25-year-old woman victim told 5 live Investigates she was targeted by a man who posted a photograph of her on Twitter and called her an ugly Pakistani.
His followers commented on her appearance and there were racist overtones in many of the messages. He tweeted that "he lives very close to her" and a supporter of the English Defence League identified where it was.
But when she reported the matter to the police they said they could not do anything.
She told the BBC: "I made a statement and the police said it was quite difficult to do anything because it's quite difficult to prosecute someone when it comes to online abuse.
"They told me the evidence was no longer there, that it was difficult to identify who he was and there was just so much online abuse. The police said they'd be in touch but that was a week ago and I still haven't heard anything."
Anyone posting an offensive comment online can face charges under the Communications Act, or be charged with inciting racial or religious hatred.
The Crown Prosecution Service published guidelines in the summer on prosecutions involving social media and it set a high threshold for prosecution. Simply being offensive, shocking or disturbing is not enough.
But the CPS said any messages that amount to a credible threat of violence, a targeted campaign of harassment against an individual or which breach court orders should be "robustly prosecuted".
Acpo said reports of online hate messages were sent through to individual forces to investigate. Acpo has no role in monitoring how those forces handle those cases - that is a matter for each chief officer.
Supt Paul Giannasi, a member of Acpo's hate crime group, said: "The huge increase in the reporting of hate material on the internet has presented major new challenges for the police. We have met with Tell Mama and have discussed their concerns. In response, we have worked with forces to develop an audit process so senior officers can analyse how their forces are responding to these and similar reports. When it is circulated it will allow all areas to monitor their own performance.
"Acpo and the College of Policing have also developed new guidance to colleagues about how to respond to these issues. We have heard the concerns of Tell Mama and we are working with them to address their concerns and improve communications."
He said some forces had problems keeping on top of the sheer number of reports coming in and, because many social media companies were based in the US, there were also difficulties in securing evidence such as details of the IP address, which identifies the computer of the alleged perpetrator.
Acpo has its own website for reporting hate crime and the police urged anyone who thinks they are a victim of hate crime to report it.

Victims of far-right Islamophobic abuse and attacks cite the English Defence League in a third of cases, according to new research.
Researchers who looked at data collected by anti-Islamophobia monitor Tell Mama said that there was a "troubling picture of low-level anti-Muslim harassment: incidents in the workplace, in the street, between neighbours and particularly online, which may not always hit the headlines but can still have an emotionally distressing, and in some cases devastating, effect on people's lives and their communities."
The research found that the majority of abuse directed at Muslims offline was not, however, linked to any organised far-right movement.
Members of the extreme far right group the English Defense League
The EDL is the far-right organisation that is most implicated in disseminating anti-Muslim hate online, the report said.
Of 434 incidents of online abuse, 300 were linked to a far-right movement, and 147 of those were linked to the EDL - a third of all online anti-Muslim incidents.
Based on 2012-2013 data collected prior to the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby in Woolwich, which sparked a series of anti-Muslim attacks and demonstrations, the researchers at the University of Teeside found that of the online incidents, where the bulk of attacks occur, it is the EDL, rather than the BNP, that was specifically named in 49% of cases.
"Such is the growth of 'online hate' that a 2009 compendium of web-hate sites, games, and chat rooms ran to more than 160 pages," the report said.
"The EDL, in particular, views online activity as central to its organisational identity. Facebook is the favoured mode of communication between EDL supporters.
"Online expressions of anti-Muslim sentiment have reached significant proportions, with 74% of incidents reported to Tell Mama taking place online compared to 26 per cent being committed in the physical world."
For Fiyaz Mughal, the founder of Tell Mama, the stats mean that the Muslim community is becoming more vigilant about reporting online Islamophobia, and he wants government and social media to intervene.
"Where as once people might have just blocked abusers, changed accounts or shut down social media as a reaction to abuse, now they are reporting it," he said.
When online hate is reported, EDL supporters/sympathisers have been identified in 147 of cases, the CXF (Combined Ex-Forces) in five, the JDL (Jewish Defence League) in four, and the BNP just two.
Mughal said: "The BNP are not active online. People switch their online allegiances all the time, from BNP, to EDL, even to Ukip, generally to the movement the media is giving the most attention to."
Offline incidents that were reported were mainly street based (55%) with 18 per cent taking place at mosques and other Islamic institutions and 13% at workplaces and schools.
Of the reported offline offences the majority of victims were female and, of these, over 80% were women who were easily identifiable as Muslim, i.e. wearing the hijab or niqab.
The researchers also found that most Muslims, 63%, who reported to incidents to Tell MAMA did not report abuse or attacks to the police.
"Compared to other minorities vulnerable to hate crime, Muslims are treated differently," the report's authors said. "While LGBT communities, for instance, are portrayed in police discourse as vulnerable to hate crime, and policy is focused on building trust with these communities, Muslims are not generally portrayed in such a straightforward manner.
"Although they are seen as vulnerable to hate crime, the primary focus has been on their vulnerability to extremism or radicalisation. The police, therefore, face a dilemma: should they adopt 'hard' or 'soft' engagement strategies in dealing with Muslim communities?"
Mughal says he wants to combine the results with the research done by the Community Security Trust, which monitors anti-semitic hatred and attacks, to urge government and social media sites to take action.
"When you speak to Twitter or others, they don't want to know. you have to go to them with this bulk of evidence, and ask government to take it on too. There's an All-Party-Parliamentary-Group on Islamophobia, which is practically defunct. We have to give them real meaty evidence that they can work on."

By Fiyaz Mughal
A five-year old girl sent flying from the bonnet of a car, left unconscious in the road by a hit-and-run driver. A pregnant woman watching her husband being beaten up by her neighbour's boyfriend, their children terrorised by constant abuse. A family forced from their home in Nottinghamshire, leaving behind graffiti and a ham-wrapped cross on their doorstep. Or a young woman who had faeces thrust onto her hijab in a south London street.
All these and more are just some of the 632 (and rising) cases reported during the first year of 'Tell MAMA', the UK's national anti-Muslim hate crime project, which my organisation Faith Matters runs. We suspect that these are just a fraction of the total number of anti-Muslim incidents affecting ordinary Muslims up and down the country.
Our work within TELL MAMA reveals a disturbing picture of low-level anti-Muslim harassment: incidents in the workplace, in the street, between neighbours and particularly online, which may not always hit the headlines but can have a devastating effect upon peoples' lives. From the internet, to the workplace, the street and even houses of worship, too often Muslim women and men are becoming the target of vicious, sometimes violent, abuse.
Anti-Muslim prejudice has real and corrosive impacts on the individual, on families, communities and ultimately on our trust between each other. At the recent Community Security Trust (CST) dinner held in Central London, the Home Secretary, Theresa May MP made clear that those who promote hate and who cause division in our societies should understand that the values of fairness, freedom and justice will not be eroded. That is why we commend her, and those politicians who, one year ago, backed the launch of Tell MAMA: the secretary of state for the department for communities and local government, Eric Pickles MP, Andrew Stunell MP, Baroness Sayeeda Warsi and the deputy prime minister, Nick Clegg MP.
We are still in our infancy but have been successfully supporting victims of anti-Muslim prejudice since that launch in March 2012. Our initiative is based on the successful model built over 20+ years by the CST, which collects data on anti-Semitism, provides support for its victims, and protects and trains the wider Jewish community.
Our project reveals some disturbing findings. The majority of Muslims being physically attacked, harassed or intimidated because of their faith are women, according to MAMA's figures - and those doing it are white men increasingly likely to be linked to far-right groups.
Three-quarters (74%) of incidents reported to MAMA took place over social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc), but there have also been attacks on mosque buildings, against pregnant women and 'visible' hijab (veil) wearers, even children and pensioners in their 80s.
In one incident recorded in Nottinghamshire, a family was forced from its home; in another, a five-year-old girl was run over. High-profile figures such as journalist Jemima Khan have also been subject to online threats picked up and reported to the police by MAMA. Extreme violence featured in 23 of the cases.
The majority of those physically attacked on the street were Muslim women, wearing either the hijab (covering their head out of religious beliefs) or niqab (full face covering). Over half (58%) of cases involved female victims. These street based incidents seemed mostly 'random' in nature, according to victims, and often took place where interactions with others were common: at schools, using a taxi service, etc.
Visibly-identified far-right British National Party (BNP) or English Defence League (EDL) members were linked to over half (54%) of all incidents. Our work has led to the arrests of 21 far-right EDL supporters, with over 40 incidents reported against EDL leader 'Tommy Robinson' alone. Eighteen prosecutions have taken place, although we would like the police and CPS to do much more in this area (only two police forces - the Metropolitan Police and City of London Police - record Islamophobia as part of their crime statistics).
So what is going on? More and more research is appearing which suggests we've underestimated the scale of Islamophobia. As academic Matthew Goodwin and YouGov revealed a few days ago (in research about the English Defence League and the 'counter-jihad' movement), just 23% of people said that Islam was NOT a threat to Western civilisation. A mere 24% thought Muslims were compatible with the British way of life (with nearly half of people disagreeing that Muslims were compatible). Perhaps most disturbingly, nearly half of people polled thought there would be a clash of civilisations between Muslims and other Britons.
Now the Association of Chief Police Officers has, for the first time, started to disaggregate hate crimes reported to police in 2011. Early indications are that 50 to 60% of reported religious hate crimes were anti-Muslim, according to a speech Baroness Warsi gave at MAMA's inaugural dinner this January.
Wider Myth Busting
There is no conflict between being 'British' and being 'Muslim'. A full 83% of Muslims said they were proud to be British, compared to 79% of Britons overall. Millions of Muslims fought for the Empire. Yet recent history shows us what happens if we allow our fears to run unchecked. Demonisation of 'the other', misguided beliefs that Muslims are somehow a monolithic block, unchecked lies that Islam is a violent religion wishing to 'take over', or that British Muslims wish to abuse white girls, must be challenged.
It is a scourge which has direct implications for peace and security within all communities and we are calling on the police to do more to tackle this shameful wave of fear and prejudice. Whilst we acknowledge that resource cuts have taken place, we also understand that cuts do not necessarily mean the quality of service to victims should fall. Indeed, this is something the home secretary herself has reiterated. Victims of hate crimes must be kept informed about their cases and 'hate crime' should become a central focus for Police and Crime Commissioners as they shortly implement their policing plans.
The issue of far-right activism and 'broadband extremism' needs to be brought into the domain of the Home Office rather than the Department for Communities and Local Government, too, which works on the 'softer' end of issues affecting communities. A major policy shift is needed here. We need a review as well on the decision to make online-hate prosecutions more difficult, which the DPP Keir Starmer announced late last year.
The Muslim community must show some leadership here, of course, and make sure it is engaging through its leaders with wider society. Muslims must not tolerate those who call for intolerance or hatred towards secular Britons or other faiths, or promote evils such as homophobia. But Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hated is something we must all take responsibility for, before the situation escalates out of control.

The Advantages Of Return To Work Program To The Employer
A return to work program is a plan implemented by a company to assist in reintegrating employees who have been off from work back to the system. The return to work program is essential in assisting employers in controlling better the impact in general and the employees cost form being off duty. The program is majorly meant for employees who have become new parents or have experienced an injury or illness. The return to work program helps in improving employee engagement. When employees have a return to work plan that is concrete, they are in a good position of preparing themselves for their return. In addition to that, if employees know they have a management support and a plan of return to work established, it will be empowering and boosting engagement.
First and importantly, the employer benefits largely from the return to work program because it helps in containment of proactive cost. The program assists to control and anticipate costs related to employees returning and leaving. Increased premiums of a company come along with higher claims. Utilizing a plan of return to work, it will assist in bringing employees back into the system faster. By the help of programs, turnover is reduced. If a worker stays away from work longer, there is low possibility of returning to work. Lack of a return to work plan, there is higher chance of workers not returning.
Employees who have been off from work are integrated back into the system by the return to work program established by a company. In this regard, the return to work program is important in helping employers' control better the impact in total and the employees' cost being off from work. Employees who have become new parents or have experienced an injury or illness are the main candidates for the program. In addition to that, the return to work program is beneficial in boosting employee engagement.

After all he's been through, this dog still needs a home
By Ana SaFe
His story went viral and so many people showed support to his cause. What he needs right now is a loving home.
HENDERSONVILLE, North Carolina – He is now called Noah, I guess because he is finally on dry land, but he used to be called Demo because the place where he was living was going to be demolished. His only friends back then were some construction workers that day after day, saw the misery he was living in.
READ MORE: THIS OLD MAN REFUSED TO BE RESCUED FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA FLOODS UNTIL THEY HELPED HIS DOG AS WELL
It was September when he was noticed. It took 5 months, a story that went viral and lots of concerned emails to the chief of police; what this sweet dog needed to be rescued. Now he's safe and loved at the Blue Ridge Humane Society but he is still looking for his forever home.
His story is a really great rescue story. His human went to prison and the dog was left in the care of his father, but he only gave him the basic care.
The construction workers never saw anybody feeding him or playing with him. They were the ones sharing their lunch with him, they even built him a shelter from brick and tarp. He was living in a mud pit and when it rained it was so bad that all he could do was stand of the top of his house to stay dry. When it was cold, he could just lay on the ground shivering.

Eventually his story went out and the rescue group Nadia's Haven of Hope Foundation gave him a happy ending. He even had a foster family ready to take him home. But his temporary guardian claimed his rights and the dog was returned to his hell. Not a happy ending after all…
The story was already viral and a lot of people were outraged with his story so they kept putting pressure until the chief of police made sure the old man let the dog go and he was surrendered to the Blue Ridge Humane Society.
Noah is a black and white 4-year old Terrier and Pit Bull mix who had forgotten what love feels like (if he ever knew).But now he's happy and he's loved. The staff at the shelter really care for him and he's safe there. But they are still waiting for someone to give him a home.

When the story went viral, so many people were offering him a home. He only needs one. If you think you can provide it, just follow this link and submit an application. The Blue Ridge Humane Society is asking for the person interested to go and meet him. You can contact them through their website or their Facebook page to inquire more details. Or you can call this number as well: 828-685-7107.
After all he's been through, he really deserves a happy ending.

On Dangerous Ground: A Memoir of the Irish Revolution|Máire Comerford|Ed. Hilary Dully|The Lilliput Press|ISBN:978-1-84351-819-8| €20.00
"Whatever your politics and views of the past, I would recommend this book without reservation."
—John Kirkaldy recommends On Dangerous Ground as a moving and vivid memoir.
by John Kirkaldy
This book does something important: it adds new insights and understanding to events in Ireland, 1916-mid 20s, the most analysed and described epoch in modern Irish history.
Mary (soon more often to be Máire) Comerford was born into what she described as a 'Castle Catholic' background. Her father owned a milling business and a grandfather won the Victoria Cross in the Crimean War and became a Deputy Inspector in the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC).
The bulk of the book was written by Máire in retirement and deposited in the University College (UCD) Library in the 1970s. Hilary Dully, a relative by marriage, has done an exemplary job in editing and has added some more of Máire's writings.
It tells the story of a conventional middle-class background (in which horses and hunting, predictably, played an important part) to a growing involvement in republican nationalism.
The role of women in the period
Máire witnessed the Easter Rising, joined first the Gaelic League and then the Cumann na mBan, sided with the Anti-Treaty faction in the Civil War and remained a staunch republican for the rest of her life, supporting the Hunger Strikers in the North in the early 1980s.
The book encourages a re-appraisal of the role of women in this period.
Until relatively recently, for example, the role of the Cumann na mBan was often seen as subsidiary to the main events, apart from iconic figures, such as, Countess Markievicz, Maud Gonne MacBride and Kathleen Clarke.
Máire was keen to emphasise the vital importance of feeding, supplying, hiding, message carrying and sustaining the volunteers. She gives as an example from many,
'And, when it came to hiding a hacksaw in a cake, Maa Woods was an artist. Her delicious cakes played a part in escapes from Mountjoy Prison, in 1918 and 1920.'
Women's voluminous fashions of the time were often as asset. 'I learnt from experience that the Lee Enfield service rifle could be carried under my coat without showing at the bottom, with my head in a big hat. With a concealed rifle each company of the Cumann na mBan could infiltrate the streets, moving from one dump to another – all thanks to the long skirt.'
Breath-taking career
Not all republicans were enlightened when it came to gender. 'I divided the men in the Republican movement into two main categories. There were those who worked easily and naturally with women in full trust and confidence: and then there were the 'mystery men' who wanted us to do what we were told and ask no questions.'
Her career in these years is breath-taking. She started as the North Wexford organiser for Cumann na mBan and then moved to Dublin as secretary to Alice Stopford Green, where she met a wide range of important and influential people.
In October 1920, she began working for the Dáil Publicity Department, but in early 1921, she transferred to assisting in the White Cross organisation in reporting on the impact of the destruction of homes and factories during the War of Independence. It also distributed funds, mainly collected from America, for those who had suffered in the War.
Anti-Treaty organiser
She returned to Wexford as the anti-Treaty organiser with a budget of a weekly £5. To supplement this, she organised raids on 30 post offices, netting £80 in stamps. This gained her a reprimand from Sean T. O'Kelly; her explanation that the stamps had King George V's head on them, all be it cancelled, was not accepted!
She was still not allowed to vote in the general election of June 1922 (being under 30; men could vote at 21) but used the ballot paper of an older woman, who had died.
Some of the most graphic descriptions in the book are of the bombardment of the Four Courts (April-June 1922).
Kidnappping plot
In January 1923, Máire was involved in a plot to kidnap William Cosgrave, the Prime Minister of the Free State. She was arrested, having been informed on by a former colleague, Min Ryan.
She had spells in Mountjoy and Kilmainham prisons; was shot in the leg by a soldier; managed to escape once; and endured hunger strikes.
Éamon de Valera sent her on a propaganda mission to the United States in late 1923 (travelling om a false passport as Edith Lewis), where she stayed for nine months.
Predictably, Fianna Fáil's decision to break in 1927 with Sinn Féin's traditional policy of abstention, came as a bitter disappointment. Máire retired from active politics but never renounced her republicanism and tried to scrounge a living as a poultry farmer.
Whatever your politics and views of the past, I would recommend this book without reservation. (How many people fifty years ago would have bet on a Fianna Fáil/Fine Gale coalition?)
It would be difficult to write a dull book about this period (a few have tried) but Máire is a gifted writer in the Swift/Orwell tradition of simple and clear English.
De Valera made amends – to an extent – by getting her a job in 1935 as Women's Editor of the Irish Press, a post she held for 30 years and which gave her some financial security.
Vivid and moving
There are many vivid descriptions of incidents and places; perhaps the most moving is the death of Cathal Brugha at the Hamman Hotel. She is particularly good at character sketches of many of the leading figures.
The reader is supported by a good introduction from Margaret Ward, some very helpful footnotes and some interesting photographs. An added bonus is an appendix with some press cuttings from British and American newspapers from 1923.
Even the Daily Mail, not known for its enthusiasm for Irish nationalism, described her as 'the Jeanne d'Arc of the republican cause' and commented with amazement at how she, in the middle of a gun battle, 'coolly cycled down Sackville Street'.
Dully in her introduction writes, 'as editor of her memoir, I can only hope that almost forty years after her death, I have served her intentions well.'
The book shows that her hopes have been more than realised.
John Kirkaldy has a PhD in Irish History, worked for many years with the Open University and has been reviewing for Books Ireland since 1980. He has contributed to three Irish history anthologies, a school textbook, and has been involved in a number of Open University History documentary series. Aged 70, two years ago, he went round the world on a much delayed gap year described in his book, I've Got a Metal Knee: a 70-Year Old's Gap Year.

Harvard Students Launch Eat-Less-Meat Initiative
Ivy League organization challenges its student body to eat less meat in February.
According to student newspaper The Crimson, Harvard University's Environmental Action Committee has brought national campaign "Veguary Challenge" into the school's dining halls as an initiative that challenges its fellow students to reduce meat consumption during the month of February. The purpose of the campaign is to educate students about the negative environmental impact of meat consumption. "We'd like to raise enough awareness of the issue that students will continue to be conscious of their meat consumption beyond the month of February," EAC co-chairman Naomi G. Asimow said. In 2016, "Veganuary"—launched in 2014 by Jane Land and Matthew Glover to reduce meat consumption in the month of January—gained traction with the number of participants skyrocketing from 3,000 in 2015 to this year's total of more than 23,000. In support of the campaign, Harvard School of Public Health professor Frank B. Hu stated, "Dietary changes are certainly among the most promising leverage we have as individuals to reduce our environmental footprints."

Chain of Rocks Bridge: Crossing the Mississippi on Route 66
On 5October2019
By Heather
Cruising along the infamous Route 66, you would expect a smooth crossing over the Mississippi on the Chain of Rocks Bridge. But, for over 30 years, drivers had the pleasure of navigating a 30-degree bend halfway across and 60 feet above the mighty Mississippi, which made this one of the most impressive bridges in America and a significant landmark along Route 66. Now, it is one of the longest pedestrian bridges in the world at 5,353 feet.

The name for the bridge came from the 17-mile part of the Mississippi River that contains a series of rocky ledges that made this section of the river extremely dangerous to navigate through. After 1940, there was only one impediment preventing boat captains from safely navigating from St. Paul, Minnesota, to New Orleans. This was the Chain of Rocks. At the end of the 1940s to the beginning of the 1950s, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built a canal (8.4 miles) to bypass this section of the river. And in the 1960s, the Corp of Engineers built a low-water dam to cover the Chain of Rocks. So, the rapids you see today are minimal of what it was like back in 1929.
The one-mile bridge was supposed to be a straight shot across the river with five trusses, creating ten spans, 40-ft wide connecting Madison, Illinois, with the north portion of St. Louis, Missouri. But, protests from the riverboat captains detailing the treacherous conditions navigating the massive concrete piers and the water intake towers made them change the plans, and the bridge was to bend. Construction finished late (was supposed to be Jan 1929) due to the river flooding, and the private toll bridge opened in July 1929.
Route 66 was officially designated to go over this bridge in 1936. During World War II, the toll was raised to 35 cents per car and with an additional five cents per passenger. This money was to pay for the painting of the red sections to green to make them less visible from the air and to offset the costs due to wartime rationing of gas, which reduced traffic. Even though driving over the bridge was a highlight of drivers going to St. Louis, they had to pay a toll to cross it until 1966.
The Chain of Rocks Bridge crossing was a milestone for long-distance travelers. Four hundred Elm trees lined the approach to the bridge on the Illinois side. And there were brightly lit restaurants and motels that sprang up along the river bank to welcome the weary and hungry travelers. Plus, on the Missouri side, there was the Chain of Rocks Amusement Park for the families to stop and visit.
One thing I always noticed when I crossed the Mississippi River is the beautiful towers by the bridge in the water. I didn't know at the time that they were water intake towers for the Chain of Rocks pumping station. One of them is reminiscent of Gothic Revival architecture, and the other looks like it has Roman and German influences.
As in everything, the world updates around you, and this was no exception. Over the 50 year history, Route 66 had five different locations that crossed the Mississippi River. And with increasing traffic, this forced the highway to larger bridges for safety and convenience. A new-bridge for highway I-270 was created only 2,000 feet north of the old one in 1967, which led to the closure of the original the year after. For three decades, the future of the bridge has been in limbo. It was once set to be destroyed by the Army, but costs were too high for demolition. It was also deemed too expensive to tear down, too narrow and outdated to carry modern vehicles. The only thing left for the abandoned bridge was to be taken up by a group that promotes trails and pedestrian walkways.
In the 1980s, Trailnet began cleanup and restoration of the bridge to link it to over 300 trails on both sides of the bridge. Trailnet received the lease for the bridge in 1998. And the bridge re-opened as part of the Route 66 Bikeway in 1999. Now, as there is a resurgence for a green lifestyle, the bridge has a new life for pedestrian and cycling use.
I have driven over the new bridge for years and saw the old one and forever wondered how to get over there from the Illinois side. I would see vehicles parked on the side of the bridge and people fishing, but couldn't fathom how they got there. On one of my trips to St. Louis to see family, I had some extra time and decided to figure out the mystery.
When crossing over the new bridge on I-270, I took the first exit IL-3 and went south. You will need to make a right onto West Chain of Rocks road. Now, this is where it gets confusing. You have to cross over the one-lane bridge that goes over the canal, but you have to wait for the signal. The trick, though, is to creep up close to the signal to get it to activate. I sat there like a dummy for a while until someone pulled up behind me and got out and told me what to do. Keep taking that road until you see the parking lot for the bridge. There is a parking lot on the Missouri side as well, but I haven't tried that yet.
Note: The National Park Service recommends for you not to leave valuables in your car as there has been vandalism in the past. I did not have any issue leaving my car in the lot during the time it took to explore the bridge and the scenic area.
If you enjoy road trips as much as I do, the Chain of Rocks Bridge should be on your list to stop and check it out. There are some fantastic views of the Mississippi River, and you can even see the Arch downstream, all while appreciating early-20th-century bridge construction. Plus, the Chain of Rocks Bridge became registered on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Sometimes all it takes is a little detour to a new area, and you can find some incredible scenery!

I strongly recommend not parking on Missouri side. It is not safe.

Thanks for the info, Kevin. The parking lot on the Missouri side is actually closed. So, if you want to enjoy the bridge there is parking on the Illinois side.


You proly know "Shadowcat" is my brother; he has a account on here with that name. But what a coincidence..
Well I knew Shadowcat was a person on here. Did not know he was your brother though.
Liked this one more then the first and really feel they tightend it up quite a bit. Also feel like they set it up for a third game and kinda excited.
This may have been my favorite game this year if Pokemon Sun/Moon didn't come out already. This is the first game I've kickstarted that I have received a code for. Honestly, I'm shocked to say it was worth the wait. Much throughout the game, I lamented that this game wasn't as good as Pirate's Curse. I beat it considerably faster, writing/jokes was not as strong as previous entries, and many of the transformations felt like extras.
Despite this, I could not stop playing this game. Even when I beat this and went "screw this game" after the final level, I picked it up an hour later and found myself having fun do my trophy hunting and other wrap up. I'm even doing a speedrun play-through with a new mode I unlocked. I never do those! This is also one of the strongest OSTs for the series as well. Despite it's faults, I really came to love this game. I may even write a review of it next year.
If you are wanting to play a very entertaining platformer, you can't really do better this year. But, if you say Pirate's Curse was better, I can't say your wrong. Heck, play both.
I also beat Final Fantasy XV (PS4) tonight! Enjoyed it too, though its also very frustrating in the way its so clearly FFXV: the abridged edition. Oh well.
I like to think of it as FFXV: FF Versus XIII Salvaged Edition.
Suikoden III: PS2Finally! It took almost 2 years to replay this SOB because my woman kept making me haul my box TV back to the garage when we'd have guests because it "looks ugly" and then I didn't want to setup again. This was my third run at the game and final since I had Geddoe be my FC. I only missed 16 characters without a guide and without trying so not too bad. It took me nearly 18 months to get through the first three chapters but once I got the True Fire Rune the game gets so much better so I raced to the end in a month or two (again, see above, this only took me a few weeks back in the day). Such a slow game at first, especially with SOOOO much backtracking, but the end is worth it.
We have begun a new year! This means that this thread is now closing down. I have posted the annual statistics in the opening post, but I will include them here next to last year's statistics.
It's not too late for me to update the 2016 list if anyone finished something in the last few days but does not regularly visit the site. However, this thread will be closed and considered final in one week.
Once again, thank you everyone for another wonderful year of wasting time on a relatively expensive hobby! Love you all lots.
I should perhaps report I beat the main story of Pokémon Sun for the 3DS a few days ago. I'll go into more details on my thoughts later, but it is a great improvement over X/Y, and perhaps even better Black/White. I need more time to mull over that. I really love the shake-ups to the formula!
Thanks to you for your great work Clix and happy New year!!
Thanks for the good work during your first complete season. I'm disappointed in my own contributions this year, but will hopefully step it up in 2017. Probably not, though, because Persona 5.
My backlog has more to do with me playing lots of MMO's then playing my backlog.


Interview with curator, dealer and publisher Seth Siegelaub. Siegelaub pioneered new strategies for the presentation and distribution of contemporary art in the 1960s under the trade name International General. His most radical policy shifted emphasis to the catalogue as an exhibition space, where the page showed the work itself, absent of commentaries. What in fact was a temporary dispensation from the need for gallery space, freed thinking for a re-evaluation of how artworks could be accessed differently and distributed cheaply through publications – whether catalogues, artists' books or magazines – and mail art. The interview is published in 'From Conceptualism to Feminism: Lucy Lippard's Number Shows 1969-1974'.

Kindness and giving are values that are instilled in this wonderful group of young girls. Girl Scout troop 1050 from Encinitas California has a goal; to make a difference in the world and to see the difference they are making. After learning about the work that Project Left Behind (PLB) was doing to help orphans and neglected children in various countries, the troop wanted to get involved.
They decided to get to work with a tried and true bake sale to raise enough money so that another group of children across the word could have a dryer to dry their clothes. The girls baked for hours making delicious treats to sell during their school's annual book fair. They had never met the children of Hogar Semillas de Jesus in Peru, yet their dedication was as though they were raising money for friends and family. The bake sale was successful and Danielle LiVolsi, founder of PLB, hand delivered the dryer!
After the incredible and overwhelming feeling of joy from helping children in need, the Girl Scouts sought out ways to connect with the children in Peru. They began writing letters to their friends across the globe. The Girl Scouts took this pen pal relationship seriously. They decorated the letters with stickers, glitter, and used colored pens that smelled like fruit. Troop 1050 took great pride in their writing skills and each girl was excited each time they sent or received a letter. The girls signed their letters, "Your friend on the other side of the world"…and they meant that. When the letters were received in Peru, the children ran to their rooms, and read them in private; as if it was their own secret treasure that only their eyes could enjoy. Then they went straight to work creating meaningful and decorated letters for the girls in California.
Throughout the three years of this partnership with PLB and the children's home in Peru, the Girl Scouts have been able to tangibly see how they are making an impact on children across the world and on themselves. They have formed meaningful friendships. They have learned that those children in Peru are a lot like themselves. They enjoyed similar foods, sports, and simple things like spending time with friends. This beautiful relationship continues as well as the Girl Scouts' desire to connect and fill the world with a little more love.

[Infographic] Transformation of Outsourcing: From the 60s to the present day
Outsourcing has well and truly transformed over the decades…
From the first known 'call centre' in the 60s, to the Continental Airlines telephone booking system off the 70s, through to the multichannel options available on our mobile phones today…
…it's easy to see how customer experiences have transformed over the decades.
Today, digital technology is playing a huge role in how customers engage and interact with companies they want do business with.
And, as you'll see in the infographic below, long gone are the days where companies dictated how customers engaged with them.
That model has flipped completely. Today, it's all about 'customer centricity'.
Customers want seamless interactions at a time that suits them. And they want to engage across multiple channels and on multiple devices.
Enjoy a trip through history as we explore the Transformation of Outsourcing from the 60s through to the present day.

I'm really enjoying being back in Mentawai. In particular, trekking about the forest with my good friend Aman Masit Dere. He hasn't been this energetic in years. The medicines are working and his health slowly recovering. It's so pleasing.
Sadly this outcome is not common here for people suffering from tuberculosis. Most others that I've met while passing through the remote government settlements are slowly losing their battle. I feel compelled to take all of them down to the health clinic or to the hospital on the mainland, but it's just not feasible. Nor is it sustainable.
My pleas are heartfelt – but not without shame. I'm asking for their trust when I know distribution of the product I'm trying to sell is not reliable. Their response is always the same: "I'm still waiting for the health clinic to send more medicines to the village." It's heart breaking. TB requires a 6-month treatment, at minimum, and missing even one day of the meds not only voids the entire course, but allows the bacterium to become resistant to the medication; which, if spread, would likely devastate their community.
I do visit the health clinic in the port town, repeatedly. I show them photos of people dying in the remote settlements and plead with them to send medicines more regularly. They nod with some degree of enthusiasm but very little seems to change. Clearly the TB program needs strengthening here, but the challenge is finding a member of the community or health department who is willing to take charge and action. It's a tricky (and complex) situation.
On a lighter note – which was my intended purpose for this piece, sorry – our work with Suku Mentawai and the Cultural and Environmental Education Program (CEEP) has been progressing particularly well over recent weeks. For all the details and photos check out our update – Cultural research, education and a Mentawai dictionary – on the Suku Mentawai website.

Spurs fall flat against Wizards
San Antonio drops another game on the road.
By Ben Wiese@wiese_ben Mar 27, 2018, 10:58pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Spurs fall flat against Wizards
Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports
Winning teams in the NBA are more talented than their opponent, willing to work harder, or are playing a team tanking for a good lottery pick. On Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards, the Spurs were mostly none of the above.
After LaMarcus Aldridge exited the game late in the second quarter with a knee contusion, the Spurs no longer had the best player on the floor, but the damage had actually already been done. Early in the game, a flurry of dumb turnovers, blown chances, some abysmal shooting from deep, and what seemed like a general lack of spirit all combined to put the Spurs down by 14 by the end of the first half — as a result, they were unable to climb back into the game.
Though the Wizards were missing an all-star of their own in John Wall due to a knee injury and got little production from their other all-star guard Bradley Beal, Washington's lead ballooned to as much as 22 points by the end of the third quarter due to an outstanding effort from their bench and their ability to knock a few wide-open shots down. It was like watching the best-case and worst-case scenario performances for teams missing their best players.
In the first half, the Spurs had opportunities to take control of the game. After leading by three after the first quarter, the Spurs looked in position to beat a struggling Wizards team and get back on track. A few blown layups here, a few missed free throws there, and some big hustle plays made by the Wizards bench swung the momentum and eventually the game, and changed a close contest into a blowout.
With Aldridge potentially limited or even sidelined with a knee contusion, along with a two-game losing streak, the Spurs have some work to do to stay in the West's playoff race. Here are some takeaways from the loss to the Wizards that could be important moving forward.
While the starting small-ball lineup has more oomph than previous starting fives, Kyle Anderson has not looked quite himself. His playmaking flourished earlier in the year due to a combination of brainy passing, impossibly slow hesitation crossovers and stutter-stop floaters, but he has struggled to find his place in the offense without quality shooting across the other four positions. In the fourth quarter against the Wizards, the Spurs made some headway getting back into the game, and the offense made sense with Anderson as a featured playmaker. He can be an effective cutter, but he might make the most sense as a primary playmaker surrounded by shooters.
Bryn Forbes and Davis Bertans have seen their minutes shrink as the team has gotten closer to full health, but both provide crucial shooting that the team sorely lacks. As Pau Gasol, Rudy Gay and Tony Parker have combined to form an unreliable trio of shooting off the bench, crucial possessions seem to slip away from the Spurs. Against the Wizards, Gasol had little chance of moving Marcin Gortat in the post and Gay didn't look comfortable on offense, as he failed to get good looks against mismatches and missed 3s with defenders in his face. Forbes and Bertans are occasionally unreliable, but their energy on both ends and ability to simply stretch the floor against set defenses is sorely lacking.
While Parker and Gasol are probably not going to improve drastically between now and the playoffs, Gay has potential to be a weapon off the bench the way he was earlier in the year. Even without the elite athleticism that made him a lottery pick, he is effective close to the basket. Though every other one of his stops in the league have been saying for years that he is maddening because he prefers to shoot fadeaway jumpers over much smaller defenders instead of going to the basket, he has shown a willingness to play the way he is most effective with the Spurs, and he has to get back to his habits from earlier in the year in order to make a difference come playoff time.
Defensively, the Spurs were a little too late in their rotations around the perimeter and sloppy in closeouts, partially due to the Wizards exploiting mismatches down low. Markieff Morris made an effort to sprint in transition and put a smaller Spur on his back in the post, which led to easy looks at the hoop, and eventually good looks on the perimeter. He was fantastic, going 7/7 from the field, and he repeatedly punished the Spurs for not going all-out on the defensive end.
The Spurs are not going to have more talent than many other teams for the rest of the way, but they can manage mismatches like Morris with crisp rotations and flying back on defense. It might come down to the little things in the playoff race, and this could be one of them.
-Patty Mills had two bad turnovers early in the game, but one of them he made up for by sprinting back in transition and stripping Otto Porter, Jr. on a layup attempt. Spurs fans see his flaws, especially this season, but his effort [and shooting!] weren't the issue against Washington.
-There are times when Dejounte Murray blends into the game more often than he should. He can be so much more than a caretaker while out on the court, and in game like Tuesday's when Aldridge is out and nobody really has the juice to get the team going, it'd have been nice to see him be more assertive.
-Joffrey Lauvergne fans out there rejoice: his +10 was a team-high.


Now I know I usually write about what DIY project I've just finished or about to start, but I've been thinking a lot about the things that actually inspire me and add that personal touch as we start turning our House into a Home.
Pinterest has actually sparked a lot of my creativity and has given me numerous ideas....from photo wall murals, painted furniture, to how to use colors creatively and incorporate geometric patterns while adding life and personality to a space.
I'm just one of the many cost-conscious consumers out there that want to incorporate style trends that are easy and inexpensive. Yes I said it...I like to be trendy, but I don't forget about the "basics" like woven or knotted textures, pieces that are easy and cheerful to live with, make a design statement, and serve as interesting foundations for a home, like upholstered furniture or casework in neutral colors.
I love to look for unique, cost-effective ways to improve my home. I'll buy and restore secondhand furniture and accessories. Scour consignment stores and Craigslist because I have discovered the benefits of buying older, distressed pieces that are well made and affordable and add aesthetic interest to modern rooms.
So where am I going with all of this....well here are some of my favorite trends and Pinterest finds right now.
What trends are loving right now? Or better yet what's next?

Blind Playtesting
Standing next to a group of people, instructing them how to play your game is one thing. Sending out just the game and rules and having the players fend for themselves is a very different animal. The latter is what's called blind play testing.
Archon Arena has been through quite a lot of in person play testing, but up until now no blind play tests have occurred. That is about to change!
The folks who frequent the chat area of The Game Crafter recently set up a playtest circle. Basically, designers post the games they have available. Others sign up to test them. The game is mailed to the first person, who plays it and gives feedback. Then they mail it to the next person on the list. It's a bit like a gaming a chain letter with no money involved.
This morning I put Archon Arena up on the list and almost immediately had two replies for players. It's very exciting to get the game out to a broader audience and hopefully get some constructive feedback.
So off I go to mail out the game. Then, I just have to sit back and wait for the (hopefully) good responses.

Melvyn Bragg delivers Gibraltar Lecture at Blenheim
By Chronicle Staff Share
Writer and broadcaster Barron Melvyn Bragg will deliver the Gibraltar Lecture at the Blenheim Palace Festival of Literature, Film and Music this Saturday 14 October.
The lecture is entitled 'William Tyndale: A Very Brief History' and Lord Bragg will be introduced by renowned historian Professor Sir Diarmaid MacCulloch, best known for his 2009 BBC television series and book, The History of Christianity and has in the past participated in the Gibunco Gibraltar International Literary Festival.
Minister for Tourism Gilbert Licudi said it was a great privilege for Gibraltar to have someone of Lord Bragg's standing delivering the Gibraltar Lecture at Blenheim and to see his acceptance to participate in next year's Festival.
"We're very grateful to the Gibunco Group of companies for supporting the Gibraltar Lectures, both at Blenheim and in Oxford. The festival is growing in stature and our commitment as a Government to such a prestigious event is evident, delivering a world class event," he said.
The lecture at Blenheim is sponsored by the Gibunco Group of Companies.
Lord Bragg will explain what drove William Tyndale to create an English translation of the Bible in 16th-century England and how his work brought about profound change in the world and continues to resonate today.
Tyndale was executed for heresy in 1536, yet the Tyndale Bible was the key to spreading Reformation ideas across the English-speaking world in the following years.
Tyndale's determination to give the English-speaking people a Bible in their own tongue led to him being called the most dangerous man of Tudor England.
Bragg argues his influence can still be seen today in international diplomacy, new English-based dialects, new versions of the Bible and in the works of some of our greatest writers including Shakespeare, Dickens, the Brontes and Tennyson.
Bragg is a writer and broadcaster best known for his work as editor and presenter for more than 30 years of ITV's South Bank Show.
His novels include: The Hired Man, Grace and Mary, Now is the Time, Without a City Wall and The Soldier's Return. Lord Bragg has accepted an invitation to speak at the Gibunco Gibraltar Intentional Literary Festival in 2018.
