Grandma's Union loom was brought to The Valley in 1988 and we began to weave rag rugs using the childrens old clothing. Soon the news was out and others brought their old jeans, sheets, and rags for us to weave into rugs for them.
Here we are working hard at warping the loom for another batch of rugs. It takes about 4 hours with both of us to warp the loom.
stove to keep us warm in Winter, outweighs the time involved.
We shop Goodwill, Savers, Salvation Army and garage sales for 100% wool clothing for our rugs. After tossing in the washing machine with hot water and drying in a hot dryer the wool is ready to cut into 1/4 inch strips to hook.
The first meeting of the Dredlocks Spinning Guild began the month of March with 2 beginners and one 20 year veteran of spinning. We examined Llama, English Angora Rabbit and Valley Sheep wool. Great progress was made.
Wool is usually cleaned and carded by hand or machine before spinning begins. We started with Sheep wool which is easiest to handle for beginners. After it is spun it may be plyed together (two spun strands twisted together)and then used for knitting or weaving. We have made mittens, scarves, hats, sweaters, and afghans with wool from The Valley.
The bottom right image is the first wool that I spun and plyed and is now ready for knitting....Oh, there is nothing like being Wild and Wooley!!
Warning! If you are thinking of learning to spin beware! This activity is highly addictive and may consume time, money and common sense!

Zeta Could Bring Heavy Rain To Parts Of South Carolina Late This Week
By Ray Hawthorne • Oct 26, 2020
3pm ET / 2pm CT Update:
Huricane hunters found winds up to 80 mph on their most recent pass through Zeta's center, making it the eleventh hurricane of the 2020 season. There were no other changes from the National Hurricane Center at that time, but Hurricane Watches are expected to be issued for portions of the northern Gulf Coast states in their next full advisory Monday evening.
11am ET / 10am CT Update:
After rapidly strengthening late Sunday night, strong upper-level winds have prevented Zeta from gaining strengthening Monday morning. Top sustained winds remain near 70 mph. The National Hurricane Center says Zeta is still forecast to achieve hurricane status before making landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula late Monday evening. It also said watches are likely to be issued along a portion of the northern Gulf coast late Monday in anticipation of the storm's arrival on Wednesday.
Original story from 8am Monday:
Zeta rapidly strengthened overnight on its approach to Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. It is expected to be the season's eighth landfalling tropical storm or hurricane on the U.S. Gulf coast this week.
The National Hurricane Center said Zeta had top sustained winds of 70 mph as of its mid-morning advisory on Monday. It is moving toward the northwest near 9 mph. Hurricane Warnings are in effect for Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, where Zeta is expected to make its first landfall late Monday evening. 4 to 8 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts, and 1 to 3 feet of storm surge are expected near and to the north of where the center makes landfall on the Yucatan, the Hurricane Center said.
Zeta is expected to emerge in the southern Gulf of Mexico some time Tuesday morning, where it should regain any strength that it loses over its brief path over the Yucatan. Water temperatures and light to moderate wind shear are forecast in the southern Gulf and should be favorable for maintaining a hurricane through at least Tuesday. Several cold fronts have already penetrated the shelf waters of the northern Gulf this fall season, so water temperatures are a bit cooler closer to the coast. Increasing wind shear and somewhat cooler water may lead to some weakening as Zeta approaches the northern Gulf coast later Wednesday; however, the storm is most likely to be a strong tropical storm or category 1 hurricane at landfall.
Computer model simulations are in somewhat better agreement Monday than they were over the weekend regarding Zeta's future path. A strong ridge of high pressure over Florida will guide Zeta northward through the Gulf before the approach of an upper trough from the mid-latitudes erodes the ridge and causes Zeta to curve more toward the northeast. Nearly all reliable models predict landfall between Louisiana and the far western edge of the Florida Panhandle some time on Wednesday. The greatest risk of storm surge, localized flooding, and tropical storm force winds are in those areas, with the first arrival of sustained tropical storm winds most likely Wednesday afternoon or evening. Isolated tornadoes are possible, especially Wednesday evening into Thursday morning into the Florida Panhandle.
Conditions are likely to improve somewhat along the Gulf coast on Thursday as the storm moves inland. However, heavy rain, isolated tornadoes, and flooding may accompany a weakening Zeta during the day on Thursday in the Carolinas. Residents there are also encouraged to monitor forecasts later this week as the storm's path and affects become more certain.

After Zeta moves into the Atlantic on Friday, there are some signals for another tropical system in the western Caribbean during the first week of November. It is far too soon to predict what effects, if any, that potential system would have on the U.S.

Faced with a dramatic fall in the number of divorcing couples turning to family mediation, Lord McNally has asked members of Resolution to work with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to raise public awareness of mediation, including by use of a media campaign.
Resolution [which used to be known as SFLA – the Solicitors Family Law Association] is a national organisation of specialist family lawyers and other professionals who are committed to the positive resolution of family problems; their 6,500 members [which includes all of our family law team] follow a code of practice promoting a non-confrontational approach, encouraging solutions considering the needs of the whole family in the event of a family breakdown – particularly children.
McNally's approach to the profession indicates that the failure of mediation to appeal to couples is even worse than feared. The number of couples going down the mediation route has fallen sharply since legal aid cuts were introduced in April 2013 – falling by 51% in the first six months, from April – October 2013 – which has sparked widespread publicity.
During this initial six month period, only 20 claims were made on legal aid for "help with mediation claims." Mediation related legal work, which legal aid would once have just about covered in terms of cost, is now reduced to a one-off payment of between £150-£350, which means that the involvement of lawyers is being substantially reduced.
This is despite the fact that it is also now apparent how solicitors are so vital in the mediation system in terms of referring suitable clients for family mediators – with limited legal aid, fewer people are consulting solicitors when it comes to divorce and other family law issues and this is resulting inevitably in fewer referrals, further contributing to the fall in number of those couples turning to mediation.
There has been widespread suspicion that the MoJ has another agenda – that of ending the involvement of lawyers in disagreements hinging around divorce – which many feel these figures support.
The MoJ have also made a fresh announcement as to "mandatory" mediation for divorcing couples. This is not as radical it sounds – only an applicant can be obliged to go to the so-called MIAM (mediation and assessment hearing), plus the fact that courts should have been insisting on couples being referred to MIAMs before committing court proceedings for the last year or so, but many have simply failed to do so.
Many experienced family mediators feel that making it obligatory for couples to meet with a mediator as a condition before court action is entered into, will not see a big increase in the figures of those attending mediation sessions. In short, you can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink. Successful mediation revolves around the positive focus of the divorcing couple and their commitment to reaching agreement in a respectful manner, and so forcing people to attend such sessions does not work well in practice. Mediation figures show the difficulties inherent in mediation as a method of resolving family law disputes – during 2012/13, over 75,000 referrals were made to mediation – of which 12% resulted in a satisfactory conclusion with a successful outcome being negotiated.
The importance of legal aid to the process is also evident from the 2012/13 figures, since of those 75,000 referrals, more than 62,000 came via lawyers who, under legal aid, were obliged to refer clients to mediation to ensure that the funding requirements were met.
So in short, the situation with mediation is a mess which the MoJ are now struggling to rectify, as McNally's approach to Resolution members makes clear. Raising public awareness of mediation as an option for divorcing couples, particularly in view of the impact of the legal aid cuts last year, now presents something of a mountain for the MoJ to climb – with divorce lawyers and their clients unsure of the direction in the meantime.
Here at Bonallack and Bishop, we are absolutely committed to the promotion of family mediation as a sensible way to resolve family law disputes, for many people. Our team includes two fully accredited and trained family lawyers/mediators.
Call one of our offices today and ask to speak to one of our Family Mediators.

Police Pay Packets Must Be Cut To Save Jobs
By Injin, March 2, 2011 in The off-topic forum
Injin
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/8355479/Police-pay-packets-must-be-cut-to-save-jobs-Home-Secretary-to-warn.html
Theresa May will signal that lucrative perks such as some overtime payments will be swept away under major reform of pay and conditions.
She will warn it is the only way to keep police officers on the streets.
Rigid shift patterns that can see deployments set three months in advance are also likely to be revamped to give senior officers more flexibility.
Officers will also continue to be banned from going on strike regardless of any findings in the independent review to be published next week.
The message is likely to cause fury among the rank and file with the police service already facing heavy budget cuts.
In a speech in London today, Mrs May will say: "No Home Secretary wants to cut police officers' pay packages.
"But, with a record budget deficit, these are extraordinary circumstances.
"As I have made clear today, we are taking action right across the board to find savings and efficiencies in all aspects of policing.
"We are doing everything we can to minimise the effect of the spending reductions on pay. But we cannot avoid the fact that changes to pay and conditions have to be part of the package."
Police budgets are to be cut by up to 20 per cent over the next four years and forces have been warned they must find savings.
The annual overtime bill alone is running at more than £450 million across the country and will be a key target of any reform.
Individual officers earn on average up to £3,000 a year in overtime. It emerged in 2009 that some officers in London were taking home more than £100,000 a year after doubling their incomes with overtime.
Officers can currently earn four hours overtime for being called back in after going off duty.
Overtime is also available when officers are called in for a shift without 15 days notice or working public holidays.
Chief officers have also become frustrated by the requirement to give officers three months' notice of their shifts, with any changes made at short notice raising the prospect of overtime payments.
Tom Winsor, the former rail regulator, has led an independent review of police pay and conditions and will publish his report next week.
Mrs May will say today that she commissioned the review "not because I want to make savings for the sake of it, but because I want to protect police jobs and I want to keep officers on the streets.
"We can only do that if we reform terms and conditions for all officers."
"Up and down the country, police officers and staff I speak to – as well as ordinary members of the public – say they would prefer us to look at pay and conditions rather than lose thousands of posts," she will add.
The review, the largest shake-up for more than 30 years, is designed to "let the police manage their resources to serve the public more effectively", she says.
It will "enable modern management practices to be implemented, help the service to manage their budgets, maximise officer and staff deployment to front line roles and enable front line services to be maintained and improved".
But she insists: "The review's conclusions must be fair, and they must be seen to be fair. Police officers cannot strike – and that is not going to change."
Pure comedy.

I'm all for public sector pay cuts, but...
Our neighbours have been given notice to vacate as their landlord wants to sell the house. This is a small 3-bed house, ideal for a family or a couple wanting to start one. He's a senior copper and she's a nurse. She works her guts out and the stress in unbelievable. He's got some amazing stories of the sort of crap they put up with from the public and the dangerous nature of his job. Last time I shook hands with him he literally had had his hand earlier that day up someone's **** doing a drugs search.
They can't afford to buy that house. Not even close. Not even if the asking price came down 25%.
So, Theresa, I'm happy for you to cut public sector wages, but FFS stop propping up housing costs so that people on average earnings can have a decent place to live. You can't have low or reduced wages and high house prices. :angry:
So long, it's been a blast
Pay cuts... hmmm...
Deflation trigger anyone...
Riedquat
I'You can't have low or reduced wages and high house prices. :angry:
Sure you can. You just need the banks to get back to doing their job of dragging people into as much debt as possible for the rest of their lives, so that they can't afford a single penny for anything else. If they're unable to do that then the banks aren't being innovative enough.
Pauly_Boy
So if we have 50000 coppers earning an average of 50k, that's a cost of 2.5bn for this front line service. What is all the money really being spent on?
Of course, if housing came with public sector jobs, they could cut pay dramatically whilst only paying the cost of building the housing, instead of being forced to hike pay to cope with 'market' prices. Would also mean that there would be fewer problems with Police, NHS, etc recruitment in high cost areas.

So Dave says we must get behind our banksters and move on, paying them multimillion pound bonuses and helping them avoid corporation tax, yet police salaries must be cut.
They should all move to Zug.
bearwithasorehead
I know a London copper on 80k - a lot of it from overtime.
Ridiculous. Most of it is waiting around in cars. If there is a need for extra work then there should be MORE coppers doing shorter shifts, not hugely inflated costs per copper.
O/T is system that is gamed all the time.
Another copper I know manages a good extra grand a month from basically fabricating extra work in cahoots with his colleagues. They decide, close to the end of a shift, that a major incident is possible if they don't follow a suspect (half-way across the country sometimes) who then turns out to be doing nothing dodgy at all. Nice to see the police make good use of the resources available to them.
SarahBell
Location:Mars.
We had a dispersal zone in our area to cut back on ASB.
Without changing any costs they adjusted shifts to put more police on when it's busy.
I assume it all went back to everyone working a monday morning and everyone wanting friday night off as soon as it was over.
Old bill I know at the gym
Normal "police" work normal hours.
Special events, i.e. police the football, OT.
Should have heard the language he used when they said, special events were no longer OT.
I guess he learnt it from all those criminals.

He's a senior copper and she's a nurse. She works her guts out and the stress in unbelievable. He's got some amazing stories of the sort of crap they put up with from the public and the dangerous nature of his job. Last time I shook hands with him he literally had had his hand earlier that day up someone's **** doing a drugs search.
Well I don't see a senior copper doing a drugs search, but if he is senior then that's his problem. The inspector ranks and above had their overtime rights bought off them some years back for a one off pay increase, I think it was about £3K. Its the lower ranks who can cream in the money if they are prepared to put the work in.
This is just more headline grabbing.
Pay packets are not being cut.
Overtime will just be stopped or avoided at all cost. Not a bad thing imo as it is open for milking but, the fact remains that where needed it is still cheaper to pay a few bods overtime than it is to recruit more people and pay a full salary.
Imo the biggest saving should be made on PCSO's, they border on pointless and should be binned. Every 2 of them equates to a real revenue collector copper.

Send International Space Station to Mars
With all this talk about the recent discovery of water on the Moon, and now Mars it seems a new age of space exploration is upon us. Could the International Space Station be the answer to the USA failed Constellation programme?
Sending a self-contained habitat to the distant shores of a new world, where sufficient water exists to replenish supplies, may be the quickest and most economical solution. Colonists from Earth would be able to escape conflict on our home world, where earlier periods of exploration and discovery have resulted in genocide and tragedy for ethnic people.
The ISS would make an ideal spaceship and sending an international team could prove to be the kind of gesture that creates peace and friendship amongst nations.
In fact the ISS, with a footprint close to a conventional nuclear powered submarine, is just the kind of size habitat needed for extended journies of human exploration to the outer planets. The ISS could even begin the slow journey to planets in the solar system, with a crew knowing full well, that return to earth was highly unlikely.

China's Wanda taps Citigroup, CLSA, UBS for sports unit IPO - sources
By Liana B. Baker and Fiona Lau

SAN FRANCISCO/HONG KONG (Reuters) - Chinese conglomerate Dalian Wanda Group has tapped three banks including Citigroup Inc and UBS Group AG to work on a proposed initial public offering for its sports businesses, four people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
An IPO would follow a string of asset sales as Wanda works to meet debt repayment deadlines. It was one of several domestic conglomerates to be targeted by a government crackdown last year for aggressive overseas acquisitions, with sources saying banks were told to stop providing funding for some deals.
The sprawling property-to-entertainment group has yet to decide which exchange to list on and is considering both Hong Kong and New York, two of the sources said. It hopes to raise up to $1 billion via the share sale, one of them said.
The float would likely include Infront Sports & Media AG, a Swiss sports marketing company, and World Triathlon Corp, the organizer and promoter of the Ironman race, Reuters reported this month. The two were acquired in 2015 for $1.2 billion and $650 million, respectively.
Wanda also tapped Hong Kong-based CLSA, the international investment banking arm of China's CITIC Securities, for a potential IPO, one of the sources said.
All plans are still at an early stage and there is no guarantee that Wanda will pursue an IPO, said the people who declined to be named as the information was confidential.
Wanda, Citigroup and CLSA declined to comment. UBS didn't respond to requests for comment.
While an offshore listing makes more sense as the majority of its sports assets are located overseas, the company would also consider a listing for its domestic sports business in mainland China, according to one of the sources.
Unlisted Wanda, owned by Chinese billionaire Wang Jianlin, has grown through acquisitions and its businesses now span property, sports and entertainment. Fitch Ratings estimates that Wanda Commercial Properties Co Ltd, its commercial real estate arm, had total debt of around $34 billion as of the end of September.
Since the crackdown by Beijing, Wanda and other conglomerates such as HNA Group and Fosun International have dialed back some their ambitions abroad.
Last week, Wanda agreed to sell its interests in a high-profile London property project. It is also expected to announce the sale of two Australian property projects in the coming days.
Those in turn follow the sale of a portfolio of hotels and 13 tourism assets in China for $9 billion last year.
It also said on the weekend that revenue fell 10.8 percent in 2017, the second consecutive year it declined, due to asset sales.

The Met Gala is an annual fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute and has been held since 1971. Since then the event has become known for it's status as the elite fashion event of the year and is attended by anyone who is anyone in the fashion and celebrity world. I looked at many photographs of some very stunning and eclectic mixes of hair and fashion, and after scrutinizing quite a bit, I narrowed it down to three impeccable looks that I believe stand out.
French actress, singer, songwriter, greenpeace activist, and Met Gala standout! What I love about Marion's look is how she worked with her short to medium tresses to create the illusion of a longer classic side swept look that is very fun, yet very French effortless as well. The deep side part with tightly pulled back side give the look a little asymmetry and interest. I love the low, face framing focus, and with a girl as pretty as Marion this is one look that I think people will be talking about for years to come.
Cara is an English model and socialite, and she can do no wrong! That goes for her hair as well. Another look with an exaggerated deep side part to add interest, and tightly pulled back on one side. Her choice of leaving her ends softer looking with some curl and height through the top are a nice take on some seriously 80's inspired hair. Cara can pull this look off effortlessly, and I would argue that this is a really simple way that most women can make a statement without much commitment.
Amber is an American actress who decided to put her hair completely up for the gala, and in my opinion an excellent way to offset her cute girl next door look. It has been awhile since I have seen someone wear their hair up completely, but Amber really left an impression on me with this take on a classic pull back. With tightly pulled back sides, she had some soft touchable height that really gave her a more serious, definitive look. If this looks sets the mood for the current generation of updo's, I am definitely in support!


Guys what is difference between the sway bar that is mounted on the lower arm vs. the one that is mounted on the shocks?
Sway bar that is mounted on the arm is 18mm while the one that is mounted on the shocks is 16mm.
It'll be due to the difference in leverage between the 2 different mounting methods i.e. when mounting to the lower arm arm the effective arm length must increase so a larger bar is required to have the same effect as the smaller strut mounted sway bar. I'd say the 2 bars would be very similar overall.
Drop links mounted on the struts are also more efficient as they can be longer so deviate from the thrustline far less. The struts move up and down in a far more linear way than the bottom arms which move through a pronounced arc which means the drop links put quite a side loading into their mounts which can lead to suspension binding and premature wear of the drop links. Ball joint type drop links are far better than the rubber bushed type at taking these loads but drop links from the struts are a preferable way of mounting them.


The inspection took place on the 22 and 23 November 2018 and was unannounced. The inspection was a comprehensive inspection completed in line with our methodology.
The inspection was completed by one inspector, one specialist nurse advisor and an expert by experience. An expert-by-experience is a person who has personal experience of using or caring for someone who uses this type of care service.
Prior to the inspection, we reviewed the information available. This includes the Provider Information Return (PIR) and notifications. We require providers to send us at least once annually to give some key information about the service, what the service does well and improvements they plan to make. Notifications are particular events registered people are required to tells about as they occur.
During the inspection we reviewed the care of five people in detail and, how the service managed people's medicines. We spoke with nine people, five staff and two health and social care professionals. We reviewed one personnel file, training records and how the registered persons ensure staff remain competent in their work. We also reviewed how the provider and registered manager ensured the quality of the service and safety of the premises and equipment.
The registered manager and providers were present during the inspection.
Following the inspection, we provided questionnaires that could be given to staff and professionals we had not been able to talk to during the inspection. We received two professional questionnaires back.

Hundreds of orange balloons are set free July 12, 2013, in honor of 11-year-old Terry Smith, whose half brother is accused of murdering the boy.
Terry Smith Jr., the 11-year-old boy whose body was found last month near his Menifee home after a massive search, will be honored Friday night during a minor league baseball game in Lake Elsinore.
The Lake Elsinore Storm will honor Terry (pictured below) during a home game at 7:05 p.m. against the Bakersfield Blaze. The team gave away tickets to search volunteers and Menifee residents.

"First I would like to thank everyone who volunteered their time and passion in trying to help a young, local boy," wrote Dave Oster, the team's president on the Facebook page, Remembering Terry Smith."The whole community was greatly affected by this tragedy, and as a team we wanted to see what we could do to help and offer support."
Mom of Slain Boy Terry Smith Breaks Her Silence
Shawna Smith, the mother of 11-year-old Terry Smith, broke her silence Wednesday after her son's body was discovered in the backyard of their Menifee home three weeks ago. She says she doesn't understand why anyone would think she had anything to do with the death of her son. Tony Shin reports from Menifee for the NBC4 News at 11 p.m. on Wednesday, July 24, 2013.
(Published Wednesday, July 24, 2013)
Terry was reported missing July 7, prompting a massive search by authorities and hundreds of volunteers in Menifee, a suburb about 80 miles southeast of Los Angeles. Three days later, authorities discovered Terry's partially exposed body behind his mother's home.
His 16-year-old half brother, Skylor Atilano, was charged with murder in connection with the death. Atilano is expected in court in September. Prosecutors want to try him as an adult.

HackSpace Magazine, Issue 13
November 22, 2018 Gareth Leave a comment
This month's maker-focused HackSpace Magazine includes my relatively long-term review of an extremely clever, though far from perfect, temperature-controlled soldering 'station': the Miniware TS100.
First, some necessary definitions: brushing aside standard, fixed-power soldering irons, you'll find adjustable-temperature and temperature-controlled irons on the market. The former are, typically, not much larger than a standard soldering iron and include a small knob on the body for adjusting the power and, thus, temperature of the tip. The latter go a step further, reading the temperature of the iron and using the feedback to dynamically adjust the power output to keep the tip as close to a chosen temperature as possible, and most often come with a bulky base station to which the iron is tethered.
The Miniware TS100, and its not-yet-available-in-the-UK successor the TS80, is different. While it's a fully-fledged temperature-controlled iron, there's no base station in sight: instead, the iron packs everything it needs into a surprisingly compact body, including a small OLED screen for live feedback and adjustment of its settings.
What's most interesting about the design, though, is that the firmware that drives its internal microcontroller is open source. It's entirely possible to download the source code, modify it, and flash it onto the iron with nothing more than a simple USB cable – and many have done that, producing alternative firmwares which either improve its performance or turn it into something else, including a Tetris-playing games console and a functional oscilloscope, entirely.
The TS100 is clever, then, but not perfect. A design which lacks any form of flaring to stop your fingers drifting forward onto the hot tip is one thing, but a larger problem is an ungrounded power design which leaves the tip floating at voltages more than enough to damage sensitive components. Thankfully, the reviewed unit came with a bundled grounding strap – but that leaves you with two wires rather than one, hampering the portability somewhat.
The full review can be read in the print and digital copies of HackSpace Magazine Issue 13, with the latter available for free download now under the Creative Commons licence from the official website.

HackSpace Magazine, Issue 5
My contribution to the latest issue of HackSpace Magazine is a detailed look at the ZX Spectrum Next, an open-hardware reimplementation of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum microcomputer with a wealth of improvements and enhancements.
Officially licensed from the current owner of the Spectrum rights – Sky In-Home Services, oddly enough, which requires only that a portion of any proceeds are donated to charity – the ZX Spectrum Next builds on the original with a Z80 implementation on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) which can be run in accelerated mode at up to 14MHz, up to 2MB of memory, SD card storage, built-in joystick ports, crystal-clear HDMI video output, four-channel AY sound, support for original Spectrum keyboards or modern PS/2 keyboards, and even optional real-time clock, ESP8266 Wi-Fi, and Raspberry Pi Zero-based co-processor add-ons.
Despite these upgrades – and more I haven't mentioned, including a brand-new operating system dubbed NextOS, 256-colour display modes, and hardware sprite support – the ZX Spectrum Next also boasts full backwards compatibility with software and hardware designed for the original Spectrum family, which is something of an impressive achievement given the relatively modest resources available to its creators following a successful crowdfunding campaign for its production.
The ZX Spectrum Next reviewed here, though, isn't quite the finished article. Provided to backers eager to get their hands on the device as early as possible, the board-only ZX Spectrum Next Issue 2A is aimed primarily at developers. It also comes with an annoying design flaw, which was discovered post-review: a missing capacitor which can cause stability issues when coupled with low-quality power supplies. The finalised Issue 2B, its creators promise, will include the missing capacitor along with a keyboard and chassis housing designed by Sinclair's long-term industrial designer Rick Dickinson.
For a full look at the ZX Spectrum Next, you can pick up Hackspace Magazine Issue 5 at your nearest supermarket, newsagent, or as a free download under the Creative Commons licence at the official website.

This month's HackSpace Magazine includes a four-page spread detailing two projects from the talented Daniel Bailey: the Manchester Baby inspired C88 and C3232 homebrew microcomputers.
When one normally talks about 'building' a computer, the 'building' process is akin to Lego: blocks specifically designed to be compatible are clicked together in a reasonably idiot-proof manner, then an off-the-shelf operating system is installed. Daniel's C88 and C3232 systems, by contrast, are built from the ground up: systems built around using an 8×8 or 32×32 LED display as memory and running a unique processor, built from scratch on an FPGA, with its own instruction set architecture.
The smaller C88 came first, and the larger and more complex C3232 – designed with a mode which allows it to run software originally written for the early Manchester Small Scale Experimental Machine (SSEM), or Manchester Baby, without modification – served as a magnum opus for the project. Daniel wasn't done there, though: a final effort produced the Mini C88, a C88-compatible kit powered by the a low-cost Arduino instead of a more expensive FPGA but boasting near-complete compatibility with the original.
While Daniel has yet to release the kit, a simulator provides a hint of what it's like to use the C88 or Mini C88: programs are entered into the system one bit at a time using physical toggle-switches, then executed for display on the LED matrix. Examples include simple animations, pseudorandom number generation, and mathematical calculations, while the real C88 can also be connected to external hardware via a general-purpose input-output (GPIO) port missing from the Mini C88.
I've long been a fan of Daniel's creations, and am lucky enough to own a Mini C88 of my very own – but even for those who haven't caught the systems being demonstrated at various Maker Faires and related events, I'd recommend reading the piece to see just how clever the project really is.
You can see the feature in full by downloading the Creative Commons licensed magazine from the official website, or pick up a copy in print from your nearest newsagent or supermarket.

This month's HackSpace Magazine includes a review of an entirely unique device designed to make it possible to trade the Bitcoin cryptocurrency in-person as a physical item without any of the security risks that would normally be involved: the Coinkite Opendime.
For those unfamiliar, a primer: cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, work on the basis of a distributed ledger system known as the blockchain – a highly-secure database, effectively, which is shared between nodes and which cannot be faked or edited once committed. When you "have Bitcoins" in a "wallet," what you actually have is the private key required to make transactions on the blockchain to move the coins you own from place to place.
The drawback of this approach compared to cold hard cash is that it becomes impossible to make secure off-chain transactions: you can save your keys to a flash drive, write them in an email, or even print them out and hand them to someone in person, but if you kept a copy it's perfectly possible for you to transfer the coins to a different "wallet" out from under the recipient's nose.
The Opendime aims to resolve this. Looking like a denuded flash drive itself, the Opendime is a smart self-contained microcomputer which performs the generation of private keys internally and locks them away – meaning it can receive Bitcoins but not spend them, until such a time as the private key is unlocked by popping a small surface-mount resistor off the board with a physical pin. In other words: if you receive an Opendime which reports it is still sealed, you are guaranteed to be the only person with access to that private key.
Sadly, since penning the relatively-positive review, I've encountered a major problem with the Opendime: having carried one on a keyring for a month or so, it spontaneously unsealed itself without the resistor being touched. Support from Coinkite has proven non-existent, and at £15 landed a piece with a minimum order of three units the Opendime is now an expensive but useless trinket while I find myself unable to trust the remaining two in the pack.
The review can be read in full within the magazine itself, which is available in print at all good newsagents and supermarkets and as a free digital download under the Creative Commons licence at HackSpace's official website.

I'm proud as punch to announce the launch issue of HackSpace Magazine, from the creators of The MagPi Magazine, a Creative Commons-licensed monthly publication aimed firmly at the hobbyist, tinkerer, maker, and crafter community – and you'll find a four-page head-to-head of education-centric games consoles within.
Designed to sit alongside The MagPi, which focuses on the Raspberry Pi community, HackSpace's remit is considerably broader: you'll find everything from features on rival single-board computers through to non-electronic projects – including, in the launch issue, tips on smoking your own bacon and building a three-foot siege weapon from wood.
My contribution to today's launch issue is a ground-up revisit to four handheld games consoles aimed at those looking to write their own games: the Gamebuino, MAKERbuino, Creoqode 2048, and Arduboy. I've written about these four devices in the past for a more general audience, but for HackSpace I was free to really dive into what makes them special – and, of course, include all the latest updates and features since the last time they were reviewed.
As with The MagPi, each HackSpace Magazine issue is available on the day of release for free download under the permissive Creative Commons licence. If you'd like to read the launch copy for yourself you can simply download a PDF from the official website, while print copies are available for purchase online and from all good magazine outlets.

While I don't write for the Australian market directly, I do sometimes appear in PC & Tech Authority as a result of Nextmedia's content-sharing deal with Dennis Publishing's PC Pro magazine. Issue 211 is just such an issue, reprinting the Rise of the Makers feature which originally appeared in PC Pro Issue 248.
For those who missed it, the feature was designed as both an introduction to the maker movement in general and as a guide for getting involved – including everything from finding and joining your nearest hackspace to setting one up from scratch. I was aided by several friendly makers, without whom the piece could never have happened: Dominic Morrow, John Cole and Taryn Sullivan of Dexter Industries, Paul Beech and Jon Williamson of Pimoroni, Chris Leach, and Bob Stone of York Hackspace, as well as the team at Leeds Hackspace.
If you're interested in the piece, it was also published to the PC & Tech Authority website this morning where you can read it free of charge – albeit without the box-outs that the original feature included.

This month marks a return to Dennis Publishing's excellent PC Pro with a piece commissioned by editor Tim Danton: The Rise of the Makers.
Designed as both an introduction for anyone unfamiliar with the maker movement and a guide for those who want to get more involved, the piece starts with a history of Sheffield-based gadget maker Pimoroni. Paul Beech and Jon Williamson kindly gave up their time to chat to me about the founding of their company and how the maker movement helped them get started, and it hopefully makes for a fascinating insight into how big an impact the movement can make to individual lives.
Pimoroni's origin story is followed by a guide to hackspaces, with many thanks to Nottinghack co-founder Dominic Morrow who provided both a history of the hackspace he helped to set up along with a list of tips for anyone wanting to follow in his footsteps. John Cole and Taryn Sullivan, of US hobbyist robotics specialist Dexter Industries, also provided invaluable insight of the culture over the pond, while Winchester House School's Chris Leach described his TinkerShed project to found a hackspace on school grounds.
The following pages look at the hardware you can use at your average hackspace, and how it helped people like Paul and Jon bootstrap their company in a way that wouldn't have been possible just a few years ago, and a description of some of the big-name projects that have been born of the maker movement: Arduino, the BrickPi, and Pimoroni's Pibow, as well as events including the Maker Faire franchise. My good friend Bob Stone also features, having worked with York Hackspace on the fascinating Spacehack project.
The piece finishes on a guide to getting involved, including these words of wisdom from Pimoroni's Paul:
Start doing something. If you haven't got a hackspace, set it up. Hackspaces are not about laser cutters and 3D printers. They're a nice fringe benefit, they're a useful tool. Hackspaces are about people and space. Start finding like-minded people, start talking to them, and that's a community. You don't create a community, you just start doing stuff and it grows.
PC Pro Issue 248 is available on shelves of all major supermarkets, most decent newsagents, or digitally via Zinio and similar services.
Oh, and there's a glitch in the colophon at the front of the magazine: my name has an arrow pointing to advice about a wine-related smartphone app, whereas my actual tip is the one above regarding using the excellent Fake Name Generator to avoid spam from captive-portal Wi-Fi hotspots.

In this month's Hobby Tech column I interview my friend and talented maker Bob Stone, review the ZoomFloppy accessory, and review the Gizmo 2 single-board computer, in roughly that order.
Looking at the interview first, I arranged to quiz Bob after bumping into him at an event a while back. Bob was present as a representative of York Hackspace, showing off a project they had been working on dubbed Spacehack. Inspired by a mobile game, Spacehack gives players the job of keeping a rusty old spaceship in one piece by performing various tasks on a physical control panel which remaps everything between rounds. If that weren't confusing enough, the instructions that appear on your panel may be for a control on someone else's – leading to plenty of frantic shouting.
Talking to Bob is always a pleasure, and interviewing him was likewise. He's a man who knows his stuff and isn't afraid to inject a little bit of humour into proceedings, and that hopefully comes across in the piece. Having played Spacehack, I can attest to both its difficulty and its brilliance and if anyone local builds their own – the hardware and software are both permissively licensed, naturally – I'd be up for a tournament.
The ZoomFloppy is a natural extension to the KryoFlux I reviewed back in Issue 131. Where the KryoFlux offers a means to connect old-fashioned floppy drives to a modern computer for archival-grade access, the ZoomFloppy is a little different: it's designed specifically for Commodore devices. Its most common use, as the name suggests, is to provide an interface between a Commodore 1541/1571 floppy drive and a modern PC but it also offers the ability to talk to any Commodore-compatible serial device: printers, plotters, even modems. Better still, you can talk to these devices from directly within an emulator – I couldn't help but grin when I loaded an Infocom game into the Vice emulator from the original floppy on an 1571 drive.
Finally, the Gizmo 2. I reviewed the original Gizmo in Issue 125 of Linux User & Developer, and was suitably impressed by its performance. The Gizmo 2, I'm pleased to say, blows its predecessor out of the water but isn't without its own foibles. During my review, I ran into an issue in the firmware which prevented it from booting any device connected into its USB 3.0 ports. Although USB 2.0 worked fine, this had a negative effect on speed – and while the issue was still outstanding at the time of publication, I'm pleased to say a new BIOS has been released as a result of my feedback which fixes the problem and makes the Gizmo a great choice for anyone who needs x86 compatibility and impressive compute performance from a single-board computer.
All this, plus a bunch of stuff written by people who aren't me, can be yours with a trip to your local supermarket, newsagent, or from the comfort of your own home via Zinio and similar digital distribution services.

Birthdate: October 18, 1975
Voice: Josh Gracin (https://youtu.be/wEIvcek1uao)
Biological parents: Melissa Hartley and unknown father
Biological siblings: None
Adoptive parents: Ron and Juniper Wilde
Adoptive sibling: Vivica Wilde
Love interest: Geovanna McSnarley
Mate: None
Friends: Open
Likes: His adoptive family, Vanna, signing autographs, the sound of a train horn, railfanning
Dislikes: Being teased or judged for his last name, prejudice and discrimination against foxes, being called Al, anyone else touching his guitar
Personality: He's slow to speak, quick to listen, slow to judge, fun-loving, always striving to be nicer and stronger. He's very devoted to those over him and to those he loves, will sacrifice himself for anyone in a heartbeat, and he's loyal and loving. On the other hand, he can be stubborn, mischievous, and is a risk-taker. Because he was raised by foxes, he absolutely cannot stand to see a fox being mistreated, nor can he stand any anti-fox comments or remarks; he takes them very personally.
History: He was born on October 18, 1975 to Melissa Hartley. She was in an unstable relationship with her baby's father and didn't want to raise the baby alone, so she put him up for adoption, wanting him to have a stable two-parent home full of support.
A couple months later, Ron and Juniper Wilde, who had one kid and were having trouble trying to have another, came in and adopted him, but not without some difficulty. After they brought him home, their 9-year-old daughter Vivica was excited and happy to have a little brother, even though he was a different species. She even helped her parents put little Alan's room together.
During Alan's school years he was picked on and teased a lot for being raised by foxes, and was frequently in trouble both at home and at school. He got physical whenever someone teased him too much or made an anti-fox remark that crossed the line. Whenever he wasn't grounded he would listen to music after school to try and deal with his emotions.
At age 23, Ron and Juniper got Alan his first guitar for Christmas, and he began teaching himself how to play it. His adoptive parents encouraged him as he progressed musically. After watching the country music awards on TV at age 24, Alan wanted to perform onstage. With Juniper's help, he performed at a local bar, singing two songs by country-music greats John Antlerson and Tracy Clawson. He then began performing at local fairs and talent contests, as well as several local clubs. He became the resident performer at a local honky-tonk bar. After one of his performances, the head of writer relations at a music sales group recommended Alan to a friend at a major music group by saying: "I met this buck today from the Meadowlands. He's a good singer, a good songwriter, and more than anything, I think you're going to really like him."
Alan performed for the guy's friend, playing five songs during the audition; their reaction was enthusiastic, telling a music magazine, "First of all I was attracted to the songs, because I thought that he painted great pictures in his lyrics, particularly for someone who had not been around the typical country co-writes. I thought that he sang very well too. But more than anything there was a kind of this 'I-will-do-it' look in his eyes - I was really drawn in by the fact that he was so set on being successful in this business."
Alan left the audition with a songwriter's contract. A year later, an appearance at a songwriter's showcase led to a contract with Dirt Road Records. Alan told Ron, Juniper, and Vivica the news, and they were very ecstatic.
His self-titled debut album was released a year after. The CD's lead-off singles reached the lower regions of the music charts. It sold about 10,000 copies before Dirt Road Records folded. Alan then signed with another record company, releasing his second album soon after. That CD produced three singles, two of which reached the Top 10. Over the following years he released several more albums.
One night while performing at an outdoor music festival, he noticed a lynx in the audience violently shove a female fox. Alan stopped playing, and motioned for his bandmates to stop as well. He yelled into the mic, "Hey, fleabag that just pushed a fox in the face, get the hell out!", then motioned for security guards to kick the lynx out. Afterward, he left the stage to help the fox that had been pushed. After consoling her and making sure she was alright, he gave her an autographed copy of one of his CDs, along with his phone number. Since that night the two have been good friends, and have recently started dating.
Relation to Zootopia: His adoptive sister is Nick's mother, and his adoptive parents are Nick's grandparents; His love interest has made jewelry for Gazelle

Have you given any thoughts to how you'd feel about a Zootopia sequel or televised spin-off series?
I am eagerly awaiting news of any Zootopia sequel or television series!
History shows, usually, that any attempts at a sequel or television series spin-off ends up as a pale shadow of the original work. Either would be a bad idea. I hope they don't pursue it.
I'm skeptical of the possibilities of success with a sequel or televised spin-off series. But I am willing to at least give it a chance if it happens. Until then, I'll reserve judgement.

Your master is dead. ...Now what?
For the first time in your short existence, the voice in your head has fallen silent. Its ceaseless, and sometimes senseless, demands were all that you had at times, your own personality shoving itself out of the way whenever "Master" gave an order. To stay is to risk the resurrection of your master and the loss of this sudden gift of freedom. To leave is to lose everything you once knew. ...Now what?
The Rogue Alpha - A Tinker Archetype is the answer to a question posed to me awhile back which ran closely, if not accurately thus: "What happens if the tinker dies, but his alpha survives?"

The latest from Clear Creek ISD
By Howard Decker on September 21, 2008 at 9:55 PM
This is from a reader:
I would like to tell you what the Clear Creek Independent School District (CCISD) is doing to help. My grandchildren go to school in Seabrook at Bay Elementary and their house and the neighborhood had extensive water damage. CCISD and Bay Elementary with administrators, teachers and high school student volunteers have opened Bay Elementary from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m daily for children to come. It has been a life-saver for the kids and parents. The school district is putting out flyers for the opening of other schools for parents who have no help for the kids.
Wonderful things like this should be reported and other schools might do this same thing.
Karen Harman, Nassau Bay, Texas
The latest from Clear Creek ISD on Thursday, Sept. 18 at 8:30 p.m.
The Clear Creek Independent School District will reopen schools on Monday, Sept. 29, for students. CCISD is requesting all teachers and campus support staff report to work on Friday, Sept. 26. The District Administration was hopeful schools could open next week, however, seven schools have significant damage and many neighborhoods still remain without power.
The district serves more than 36,000 students across 13 municipalities, including Seabrook, Nassau Bay, League City, Kemah and the Clear Lake portion of Houston. As of today, a significant number of schools and neighborhoods still remain without power. Of the 38 district schools, officials have determined that seven suffered significant damage from Hurricane Ike.
Maintenance crews and area contractors are working to repair roofs, remove water and debris and restore power to all schools, the release stated.
At 8 a.m. Monday, Sept. 22, the district will begin enrolling students who have been displaced because of Hurricane Ike and are now living in the district's attendance area. The central center for enrollment will be McWhirter Elementary School, 300 Pennsylvania Ave. in Webster.
A team of district employees and volunteers will be on hand to assist families. Clothing and school-supply donations are being accepted at that location.

The couple took to social media on Wednesday, Sept. 23, to share the news of their daughter's arrival.

Zayn was first to announce their daughter's birth, posting a photo alongside a sweet message. "Our baby girl is here, healthy & beautiful," he wrote to his fans on Twitter. "To try put into words how i am feeling right now would be an impossible task."
"The love i feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding," the "Let Me" singer continued. "Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, & thankful for the life we will have together x."

"Especially during this time, it's a nice silver lining to be able to be home and be together and really experience it day by day."

Home Community For Justice to be done….
For Justice to be done….
By Beryl Wajsman
www.thesuburban.com
It is not often that one can state clearly that a government initiative is unconditionally right and just. But we can do so this week. The news that the Couillard government is fast-tracking the doubling of the ceiling on small claims court cases from $7,000 to $15,000 is good news indeed.
The protection of our freedoms and individual dignity is first and foremost assured by our justice system. But when justice becomes too difficult—when courts are overburdened, lawyers too expensive and procedures too cumbersome—how can we make the claim that we have a just society? Access to justice and due process must be within the reach of all.
Raising small claims court limits will mean that citizens will not necessarily need lawyers to seek redress. Procedures in small claims court are simplified so more citizens will have access and not feel intimidated or overwhelmed. Lawyers fees will not be an obstacle to obtaining justice. And since much of the guidance is from the bench, we will probably see more judges named—as we did the last time limits were raised—thereby lightening the load on an already overburdened general court system. It is a victory all around.
The new ceilings may come into effect as early as January since the bill passed first reading last Tuesday Oct. 7.
Kudos to Fabre MNA Gilles Ouimet for doing so much of the heavy lifting to assure consent and passage. The opposition parties have indicated that they too favor this initiative and its speedy implementation.
Professionally, Ouimet was a noted and respected criminal lawyer. He was also Batonnier of the Montreal and Quebec bars. His words carry weight and they are words of compassion. As he told our Robert Frank this week, "In justice, it is of foremost importance that citizens understand how the law of the land applies to them. It's essential that these laws are simple to understand and apply, so as to avoid needless debate and needless litigation in the enforcement of our laws." And that is something that the small claims court jurisdiction can do.
Experience has shown that not only are disputes resolved more expeditiously, but because the court has a greater role to play, people are guided and educated about how our legal system can serve them. But, of course this is not a panacea.
We still have to come to terms with the fact that access to justice is difficult, not only because lawyers are expensive, but because regular courts are so full that justice is almost always delayed. And for that reason is often denied. We need more judges, as well as court reform whereby certain classes of cases—such as family law—are dealt with in family courts as Ontario has.
Legal aid is not readily available for civil disputes. The pro bono lists of our Bar associations are not well advertised or promoted even though some of our best senior attorneys put their names on them year after year. Sadly, they are rarely called even though they are ready to help the vulnerable in need.
Justice Holmes was right when he said that, "Justice must be seen to be done as well as to be done." So we should celebrate every time there is news of some progress. But we must remain vigilant. We must remember that too often the privileged still prey on the weak. And that the goal of judicial reform is a never ending one guided by the faith that we have an obligation to guard against our justice system becoming nothing more than a two-edged sword of craft and oppression.

KULT RPG: Taroticum & Other Tales
Hardcover Scenario book
Taroticum and Other Tales contains seven stand-alone scenarios for KULT: Divinity Lost. They are set in different times and locations and explore different parts of the Kult mythos. The scenarios are all designed to be quick and easy to pick up and play.
Taroticum - Taroticum revolves around a deck of Tarot cards that has the power to manipulate the Illusion. Set in London in 1892 and in 1992, in Inferno, and close to Achlys where time has ceased to exist.
Oakwood Heights - November 2016. We follow a group of people from the Detroit DA's office and the local Police Force partaking in a crime scene reconstruction. Soon we learn that everyone has a hidden agenda as the story unfolds.
La Cena - Miami 1973. The Cruz family is preparing a seven course dinner for their eldest son who is returning from Cuba with the last Freedom Flight. The city trembles in the summer heat and so are the tensions and hidden frustration in the Cruz family.
The Summit - The Monarch, a skyscraper existing in Elysium as well as in Inferno. A borderland of struggle and violence. Each floor is filled with gruesome scenes and madness and in the top floor the Architect of this mad construction awaits.
Island of the Dead - On the 12th of June 2013, flight DY13001 leaves Bangkok, Thailand. After just over an hour it crashes into the stormy sea. A few survivors drift ashore on a remote island. They have to adapt and survive in the strange jungle and try to get away before the island will devour them.
Laraine Estate - In the late summer of 2018, a famous youtuber and urban explorer goes missing while breaking into the Laraine Estate, an old mansion with a long history. Deep beneath the old mansion something lurks, and drives people into lust and perversions.
The Atrocity Exhibition - At an exclusive midnight showing at the Cecil Torne Art Centre in the autumn of 2017, the complete works of Guy Vaquelines entire Triumph De La Mort collection will be displayed. What no ones knows is that the paintings are infused with magic and bringing them together like this will have unexpected consequences.
ABOUT KULT: DIVINITY LOST
In KULT: DIVINITY LOST, the world around us is a lie. Mankind is trapped in an Illusion. We do not see the great citadels of Metropolis towering over our highest skyscrapers. We do not hear the screams from the forgotten cellar where hidden stairs take us to Inferno. We do not smell the blood and burnt flesh from those sacrificed to long forgotten Gods. But some of us see glimpses from beyond the veil. We have this strange feeling that something is not right—the ramblings of a madman in the subway seems to carry a hidden message, and, when thinking about it, our reclusive neighbor doesn't appear to be completely human when we pass in the hallway. By slowly discovering the truth about our prison, our captors, and our hidden pasts, we can finally awaken from our induced sleep and take control of our destiny.
KULT: DIVINITY LOST is a reboot of the highly acclaimed and infamous contemporary horror role-playing game "Kult", originally released a quarter of a century ago, in 1991. This anniversary version of the game features a completely new rule-set, and the setting is updated to present day. Escape your nightmares, strike bargains with demons, and try to stay alive in a world full of pain, torture, and death. KULT: Divinity Lost is published by Swedish game publisher Helmgast, under license from Cabinet Entertainment (owner of the KULT trademark).

No Charges for Rapper "The Game" After Twitter Prank
By Scott Weber	• Published August 17, 2011 • Updated on August 18, 2011 at 5:52 am
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said it will not pursue charges against rapper The Game a week after a message from his Twitter account jammed calls at a Compton Sheriff's
The Game apologized on CNN for the incident Wednesday and Sheriff's officials decided to let the matter go.
"His willingness to help share with the media and the community that the safety of the public is what is most important, is a great message," Capt. Mike Parker said in a statement.
Earlier this week, the department said it had compiled enough evidence to recommend that the District Attorney charge the rapper with causing annoying or harassing phone calls to be made, and for delaying or obstructing police officers in doing their duty.
"Based upon our investigation, as well as consultation with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, the LASD considers the criminal investigation into this matter closed," Parker said.
While various laws could be applicable in the case, Parker said there were "certain aspects that have not quite caught up with the rapid pace of new media."
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Parker also cited a lack of evidence for dropping the case but said "if new facts were to come to light, it could change our stance."
"Freedom of speech is part of what has made this country great. Peace officers are sworn to uphold and protect that right, and we welcome that responsibility," he said. "The challenge is that law enforcement, the news media, and celebrities are also facing the challenge of how to address each new social media issue that arises."
Last month, celebrities worked with the LAPD to get the word out about carmageddon, but we also saw the rough edge when popular DJ Kascade tweeted to his tens of thousands of followers to join him for a free concert on Hollywood Boulevard, causing a mob scene.
Last week, a message sent to The Game's 580,000 followers falsely told them to call a phone number if they wanted an internship with the rapper.
That number was actually the public help line of the Compton Sheriff's Station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, denied responsibility for the phone calls and suggested his account had been hacked.
Taylor, who grew up in the area but now lives in Glendale, also tweeted:"Yall can track down a tweet but can't solve murders! Dat was an accident but maybe now yall can do yall job!"
