Burying children six days apart
Posted by: RhodriC

Room on the farm for Cardiff Baptists
When Baptists began to worship in the St Mellons area of Cardiff in the early 18th century, the only suitable places for meetings were local farmhouses. Visiting preachers came from as far away as Abergavenny. After using a paupers' house for a few decades, the local Baptists ...
Right spy, wrong country
Chinese authorities accused Colwyn Bay mountaineer Sydney Wignall of spying for the CIA after they arrested him in the Himalayas in 1955. Under torture, Sydney could truthfully deny the charge, as he was actually spying for India ...
St Mary's Church, Llanfair Talhaiarn
Taxation records from 1291 list this church as being in Lanveyrdalhaern and Lanveyr Dalhaeayn. Talhaiarn was reputedly a saint and bard in the 5th century, but there's no evidence that this church was originally dedicated to him.
The structure of the church we see today largely dates from rebuilding in the 19th century. Parts of the earlier structure have survived, including elements of the roof and, probably, the south wall.
Unusually, the church has a tank where people could be baptised through immersion. On the 17th-century door is a sanctuary ring. People could gain immunity from justice by grabbing hold of sanctuary rings on church doors but on condition they would then leave Britain, carrying a cross with them and going straight to the nearest port. If there were no imminent sailings to foreign lands, they would have to wade into the water each day they waited.
Buried in the churchyard is poet and architect John Jones, born at the nearby Harp Inn (now a house) in 1810. He's best known today for some of his songs and satirical verses. Starting as a joiner, he rose to be a supervisor in the construction of London's Crystal Palace and of some large buildings in France. Suffering from arthritis, he retired to his home village and shot himself at the Harp Inn in 1869.
In 1747 the parishioners agreed that anyone who brought a dog into the church during divine service would be fined one shilling. Two years later, the sexton was granted quarterly payment "for keeping the church clear of 'em" and a stool to sit on by the church door, where he would be ready to intercept four-legged interlopers.

I've been putting this off, the first post of the new year. I think I've been hoping that by putting it off I'd somehow make the days go by slower, but the opposite seems to be happening so I'm just going to write.
2016 is going to be a big year for me, I think. If all goes according to plan, I will graduate this year, move back to Canada permanently, and enter the workforce. Daunting.
A few months ago I stopped posting so much about my plans for the future. They kept changing. Teaching English in Asia, making films in Vancouver, it all felt so fantastical. Even now, my dreams have changed again but are still just as achievable. As in, I have no idea how I'm going to pull this all off.
In the meantime, I will soon be starting my very last semester in university. I still remember the beginning of first year. I can hardly believe all the experiences I've had since my very first day. I was still finding my footing then, unsure of what I wanted to do as well as everything else there was to be unsure of. I barely made it to the end of that year in one piece, but I was surrounded by new friends and that made everything better.
In my second year, I switched out of film studies and got to be better friends with a lot of my creative writing classmates. I was a lot happier last year, and a lot of crazy stuff happened. I started this blog for one thing. There was the email incident and I discovered the joys of co-writing. The lesson to learn last year was that exhaustion is best avoided. Not sure I learned it, since I am typing this at ten to three in the morning.
And here I am in my third year. Back in autumn, I really felt like I had finally become the person I had been trying to be since high school. I was aware of how perfect my life had become and I let myself be happy. Things are still going well. The only thing that's changed is that the ending is nearer now. Endings are inevitable. It's pointless to worry about them, but I'm still left clutching to what are soon to be memories.
Then now is the time to make the best memories. The ones that will say with you forever.


Jeff talks with one of America's leading law enforcement professionals Sheriff Tom Hodgson of Bristol County, Massachusetts.
Jeff Katz news radio WR BAA it is a Thursday afternoon. We are broadcasting again from Washington DC the event is called hold their feet to the fires started twelve years ago. A couple of us. Think there were four of us. Started the first year. And it's it's being really consistent in terms of the focus and it's been a vaults immigration in the big picture and illegal immigration. As a very very real focus. Trying to figure out exactly. How you deal with these issues. And and the fight has being. Been consistent since the beginning. People who have talked about this are continually. Attacked as somehow being anti immigrant. And as you've heard throughout the the course of the last couple of days especially. Which had so many people who have said wait a minute. I I eighteen from somewhere else I came to the United States because I wanted to be here and I'm an American citizen now because I wanna be an American citizen. And I followed the rules and I I did everything I was supposed to do and so. Why should other people not have to do follow the rules why there why should there be rewards for people who are in fact. Not just did not follow the rules would breach long. We heard from anger has given me a little bit ago again an Angel mom is the title that as she has. And it's it's a title that no body would warrants. Greatest comic she's the mother of the year. She's dubbed as an eating till mom because her son. Was killed. By an illegal alien. And the experience she had obviously dealing with it and dealing with the aftermath it's just. It's just absolutely appalling but but that's that's what this is all but out. Really win when push comes to show that it's about addressing these issues and and honest way if at all possible. In any. In a manner in which has some degree of integrity. We see again where we're not against anybody. We're we're simply saying there were rules in place in the got to follow them. Hector Garza from the national Border Patrol. Council which is the union represents the Border Patrol agents basic head as an organization listen. President Obama for eight years did. Did everything possible to demoralize. The members of the Border Patrol he did everything possible to to demonize. The Border Patrol agents. And they sit for the first time in our history. Where do endorse a candidate for president of the United States. And they did. And they endorsed Donald. And they still stand with the missing you know if in fact. There were some sort of a wall on the border. Well there would be. A little bit of a road block for illegal aliens trying to cross the border but is as Hector Garza from the border patrolman union said you know. This is about the drug cartels. The drug cartels. Are controlling that port. It's the drug cartels. That are responsible for the humane trafficking. And so why wouldn't we do something to. Your roadblock in the way. He said they have a a program in the Laredo sector where he works it's called terrain. Denial. And essentially it means you wanna keep the drug cartels from having control. Of the terrain. He sits a 176. Mile border. And there's not a single. Solitary. Inch. Of fencing. Or war. So listen to that person can not a single solitary inch there's nothing. For a 176. Mile border. They're only a handful of Border Patrol agents down there. And the different drug cartels out of Mexico. Battle amongst themselves to see who we is that owns and operates that particular part of the terrain. They're running drugs they're running human beings there were bringing all sorts of victims into the nation's. So that's what this is opponents about the cost. To Americans. Now we talk about a national stage obviously but at the end of the day this this it's very very local. It's very local. And we're talking about counties around America and the sheriff's who have been here for the the last couple days have done amazing work. Making the message clear to let the president everybody would pay attention. In one of the guys who was absolutely at the front of this and has been for years. I have been out. And there are some a little bit I did an admirer. What Tom Hodgson has done his share from Bristol county Massachusetts for many many years and he continues to stand up to be tall and sheriff it's good to have you with us well thank you it's great to be your own hours I want you tell us a little bit about the job. Deaton meetings the EU in the other sheriffs had over the White House tell me a little bit about that well. We are first meeting was around two people that lasted about an hour we meaning the political office building with the with the policy makers of senior policy people right who had a we're Border Patrol and the active directory rights. In others it from justice and so with to talk about how. You know from the very its shares that would be good news yes we're if we're shares revision reflects states. Not all having the same necessarily issues around immigration. Some were two weeks of NG people some work so we had we had discussions around. But good broad spectrum things that we felt that. We're important for Austin and we clear case over also to see how we could. Two more in the way of supporting the administration to get the immigration reforms finally done but also. Things that we thought were good strategies impostor. Training for rich remote vehicle people sure gonna put people early. That are here illegally and so forth so that meeting went on they actually. Ten minutes it to me surprisingly the vice president. Oh from the side door walked news of the cement this week we'll stop buying commence a thanks for. Melissa thank you all used blah on the news to him okay this and how much he appreciated how much the president passion ramble portion from the very beginning yes. And down. And then it went around talk to different for a couple minutes at a loaded but he and then off he went and then. While the at bat and after an hour meeting that we. We're told by the people run vehicle and we're gonna have to move won't go review that you all over the White House also went over the sheriffs were. Of course where that then closed because of as far as food and put. But I have had the sense that it was a possibility obviously OK I might happen because I I told them right. A week or so before I we have. I created plaque for him from all the share of style because him. As this. Token of appreciation. So at any rate it as it turns out we headed over there and be into the east room. And then after. 1520 minutes of him waiting which you expect to do them breakfast. It's not that speed if you can exactly put it. So. Area we've we've waited and in in the Hadley who beat him we feel really complete them home with him to the room that night where the podium. Begins speaking about. Why would there in the two reasons one to call congress yeah which we did the warning and press conference. We were your tired of twenty years of inaction. And we announced. Funding page yes for the wall yes let Tom but yet so when when he. Actual walking down the hall and finally tonight. For the instruments that meets my exit was present. Which happens at challenge going. From my apartment. And soon and I noticed several times. Recently. Showing that he's sitting at your desk there to the right to view depends upon news. The whole. Absolutely mountain. Open display of tablets which emergency mine that passive so I just wanted to make sure you have this. And Andrea how tough but no he. And he he was very. Very appreciative of assure you there yet he is very much. Behind law enforcement. As I told him speaking to do. It the GOP convention when you read to him and we you know your acceptance speech. You've we recall you saying that. We knew he years' time you. Occupy the White House that you can reinstate the new law turn and you don't throw in. In not only that you stood with us. He's figured out our back and we've got yours and him. And I think he you know he he really appreciated it because. He does understand. That what we do now if you if if the cut if that community senate seat in the country's Nazi. Can have a strong economy are you kidding me he's a pragmatist is he he's problems. And on the plaque actually it had a bad with his name that's sheer spectacle while it's a prison of topical problems undersized. And then. The center of it would be the coat of arms the United States while demand as it used to publish you know Bob movements of marginal to tear drop for the number it was rated USA. Okay and then them. And that was of course attached to the to the plaque underneath that receive. Description said. This a new sheriff and in an appreciation for your support. All the sheriffs across the nation and our efforts to tune enforcement laws and then said America's shares. He he you could tell by his his expression because I'd settled before well before it actually give him a Christmas present. Houston's of the missile two weeks of NG UP in the for the for the U. Targeting mr. Kuhn trees Jessica Malone. And Sid and and it's not surprising that like many of the things you promised earlier on that you were you you were following through with things were happening but. It people early on started. Periodically say including the press is sure to move in that's an end to year increase to sheriff's yet it's as we know it means it means that there's problems. In this somebody coming in and fix. That's right in and that is what you do. Absolutely and so he was he was very excited said he turned afterwards and since there Podemus. I swear you know matured amateur athletes and B and this this will be placed in the Oval Office supply. He's done. And it was fun because we didn't he started to leave the vice president and ministers shall we with a picture of things you like. Present though those center there in the vice president was. Just won't stand for problems with but anyway he said. This instead to please make sure this is a good picture. This it was president and you're gonna need to get me having. Tough job budget is joining as he is the the share of Bristol county Massachusetts it's it's an interesting community now want to. I want people to hear about it then we'd mentioned 287 G no this was a program and still is a program. Years ago I can remember when they Jim Pendergraph would be in the sheriff of Mecklenburg County Charlotte, North Carolina. Highs are high in the year. Was credited with pioneering 287 G per county sheriff's. And there was eventually called by President Bush than to head up to 287 G program I mean he he really helped. Men and women like huge sheriffs and get this program in place. What's out there knows are still funding for training in the rest of it for your deputies well. Actually there that that was one conversation we had it does we beat you give even more funny we want more to release of energy agencies around the country to Paris wanna. The the challenge always is you have to give up he knows who worked six officers have to go from month to training. Dammit in Georgia yeah that's tough what's he so. Sucked in by next puppetry. Candidate Mir so. So of that that depending on the size you sheriff's office you mean be able to absorb that break your budget were so if there was a way to cover that would over time. You can you can accomplish so okay but it makes sense if you start thinking about. What if we do that for people for the year ended up committing serious crimes had a group who took the court system the incarceration costs and all that we're going to be far greater than. It than a month spent capsule having people getting trained. So. We know that force multiplier to port we nor partnerships are critical. Yup we cannot have this idea of getting rid of ice is most outrageous it'll seem funny that people yelling about ice that we they were saying get rid of ice. Because of the separation of children among the border. Ice has nothing to do with its efforts to children on the border looks border customs were right right there but but but the and it's not. Not surprising that they don't really know what the talk about it to Spitzer there. Exactly and talk reports yeah but some but look I I really think that. This idea of people sort of seen. And finally admits its Q1 timer in the year. What elected official this country would you ever think would say. I want you have less resources than we can otherwise you'd need to keep your feeling sick. Who's right right because that's what to do its existing right I don't want you working device even though I know that partnership that sharing of intelligence resources. Ando and everything else. Would be our communities safer yet but I don't want to do it in in the part of it's it's really so hypocritical. Most of these people that are in these select is she doing this. Our our. In their communities probably have one or two to respond to sheriff's office they have people assigned full time on their payroll not writes I. Working on the task forces full talked yes I know why do yup right in Baghdad again. You know represent a ball in my county saying you can work with you can't work work of placing what you know whose paper went you know. And in them. In the the funny part of it was what they said it would be neat how do you do you mitigate the idea that we had somebody on the FBI cares right well that that was all done earlier. And besides he said. Ice is not a law enforcement. This is a guy who's a legislator. Put following the bill to try to prevent us. And he doesn't even know these providing us with the and other law enforcement agents to crack so. It's he get it that's just proof positive again it's all about your ideology yep political ideology. And enough about the people perhaps very sad. Sheriff Tom Hodges joining us Bristol county Massachusetts. And sheriff Hodge along with the other sheriffs in addition to that meeting with the president trump. Talking about these vital issues. You've got an effort under way right now that actually everybody can be part right right all right tell me about this this is some this is something that we have been talking before while we were we've been hopeful we were letter to members of congress remember congress Cutler. That more than half of Jerusalem with reluctant sheriff saying we need law. We need immigration reform. The Ketchum released and we need all these things to be dealt with now Tony is an exercise can cut him and and so. With little response. It's not surprising. We said you know what we'll go to Washington. We're gonna let congress know. We're done so here's the deal. If you're not gonna mobilize the people this nation we are in what we're gonna do is we're gonna we're gonna create this. Crowd funding page right through the national sheriffs association it's sheriff's walled got to work. Where anybody in the country can go and donate five dollars you can donate Dolly to donate to him that you have people that have even offered that so so. So this gives everybody the country's achievements will be felt like. I have control of the government in words you speak controlling me on now I can control. At least working with my shares to protect my neighborhood to protect my nation yes and you know what. The shares have always felt blessed to be. In the position tour because were elected by the Pete that's right and and so we're in our communities we know with people who deal with you know hardships and difficulties around crime and the drugs that are that are taking away. He remembers him on and on and Arnold and we want to stop and they do too so you know what we said if congress cannot believe we are. And we are connected to all these people millions across this nation we represent just like you do. So. We think that people are gonna start calling him. Donating money on them on the site and we'll see whatever we can do to. To make this happen because. As far as the last when he is dope yeah. We keep beer and every you know him do something we do something that and it's caught up in this in the sentinel this really is it's really competency thing politics capsule partisan politics capsule so we're not about Paul the politics were about the public safety. And that's not something we measure somebody's party affiliation by before we give them a service that's right it's so. It's it's time America it's time and it's something we will actually you nightmare. We're people who can feel like you know big bucks but I feel like they did something. I hope stop. Problems were maybe my feelings or maybe some other person's spam and we never know but. At least I helped him one of them from losing level like the two moms and dads capsule and gone through it's it's Sosa is indeed an infant and the thing that bothers me with anything. Is that congress knows about how many people be easy to want to go to the end here. It still going all over the country talking and educating people because they are trying working with us and others and particularly wrong movement to say. Content go to congress tell congress they need to stop this we don't want me a few to go through the congress is introduce them is. You know what we're too busy in no way. We don't really wanna give it to them so we're gonna. We're gonna just sort of let that pass by yup and the next when it's killed via I know you probably feel like it doesn't matter but. The reality is it doesn't and neither does your son or daughter who you'd lost your out there now trying to use their memory right keep people alive. In congress. Nothing it's. Couple Tom I hate that we're out of time to one more time to me the website is I want people to go there and donate a couple bucks he would be great it's it's that virtually assures Walt. Got to work sheriff's wall dot org as always a pleasure that is Tom how much and he's the a share. A Bristol cattle Massachusetts has been on the front lines for a long time vocal passionate. Honest good good guy Jeff Katz news radio WRB.

All you have to do is give the next poster a song to listen to, or you could just suggest a band/artist. It doesn't have to be any specific song.
That person then comes back and gives the next poster a song.
Also, please don't suggest stuff that you wouldn't even listen to.
Next poster listen to In The Shadow of Our Pale Companion by Agalloch. As a fore note, it's a long song but so worth it.
Lol it was a long song. It was spilt into two videos I don't listen to this kind of stuff, but I actually enjoyed that. The beginning was kind of relaxing.
Btw stick: its flobots "A silly ***** is what I'm going to call **** jokes from now on."
Awesome song by an awesome band.


I don't think there's a go-to, third party live games writer on the market. A good deal of the large publishers do bits of it, although they have one foot retail and appreciate premium because of how the economics work, and they do that exceptionally well. But we are a specialist, best-in-class, live matches publisher, PC-first but maybe not PC-only... Cross-play will become increasingly important and is going to be a significant ability for us. We think there'll be a significant opportunity there.
Live matches is the significant trend in the business, and Jagex hopes - considering its own 17-year expertise of doing this kind of thing with RuneScape - it could capitalise on that. Mansell knows that the number of names it can manage at any 1 time will bein single digits, but he is not sure how many the company can support, or if elements like funding is going to be a part of its own offering.
That is just the conversation start, he read this post states. We have a huge crowd of RuneScape players. There's a lot of footfall, a lot of eyeballs on that. But we are not seeking to construct a more cannibalising portfolio. If people work together with us, we want them to see Jagex cares deeply about their match, this publishing branch is separate from all the RuneScape stuff. It's not going to come into conflict, and they'll just be a benefit of being in this Jagex roster.

Linda Johnson has put together a well laid out basic tutorial about combining text and graphics on a page.
I might have added "Edit Wrap Points"; a feature that allows more control over how text wraps around a picture. Also the use of Format>Picture from the menu. The Layout tab on the dialog box has an Advanced button. The Advanced Layout section presents more precise layout choices if needed.
Linda dismisses the Drawing Canvas that pops up in Word 2002+. I think she is correct, in most situations.

Review of Britani C. W. Baker, "Sirens", Luna Station Quarterly 37 (2019): Read online. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
Content warning: Memories of child abuse.
The titular sirens of this story are not the ones I immediately thought of — tantalising creatures of the watery depths — but ones that strike fear into my childhood midwestern heart: Tornado sirens. The world that Baker populates has been destroyed by tornadoes, everywhere, all at once, and the sirens haven't stopped since. Through their raging call walk Denver and Isaac.
I found this story left me with more questions than answers — where did the tornadoes come from? What sort of weather could have resulted in that many, all at once, including in places that don't normally have tornadoes? How is it that vast cities are abandoned and left to scavengers, but the sirens in them are still going off? (This is quite a practical question: I found myself wondering "just how are tornado sirens powered, such that it's possible for them to still be blaring after two years?") I also found myself wanting somewhat more than the story had to give — something more speculative than merely a post-apocalyptic setting. However, for anyone who has lived through the sort of abuse that Denver has survived, I can imagine reading this story might be sort of cathartic.

Aboriginal Art on Stage and Screen

Award-winning blues musician George Leach will kick off the 1st Annual Yukon First Nations Arts Festival June 21 at 3 p.m. in Jubilee Park (behind the Visitor Information Centre).
Katie Johnson stops for a minute to eat at a busy restaurant while chatting about the next large event she's working on: the 1st Annual Yukon First Nations Arts Festival to be held in Whitehorse June 21 to 28.
This young vibrant Southern Tutchone woman is the event management co-ordinator and assistant to the general manager.
Johnson was last seen coordinating the highly successful Gathering of Northern Nations for the Canada Winter Games last February 2007. The tent was brimming with cultural performers, artists selling their goods and First Nations displays.
Also, in spite of the 40 below weather, there were lineups at their tent.
Inspired by The Yukon First Nations Tourism Association's success at that event and by the overall visual arts festival during the Canada Winter Games, the SYANA Board of Directors decided to focus its efforts on developing an event annually.
Johnson relays "the board of directors asked themselves, 'What could we do to keep the momentum going?'"
Over eight days, the festival will incorporate workshops, performing arts, exhibitions for visual artists and marketing development for emerging, established and master artists. This is in keeping with the mandate of SYANA: "To encourage Native and public participation in the arts".
"We wanted to kick off with excitement and start the momentum of the festival," says Johnson. So, SYANA and The Yukon Arts Centre teamed up to present award-winning blues musician George Leach in concert.
Leach gained nation-wide recognition when Just Where I'm At won Best Rock Album at the 2000 Canadian Aboriginal Awards. He was also crowned Best Male Artist of the Year.
His first music video, Young Enough, reached the Top 5 on the coveted Bravo Video Hit List and won Best Music Video Award at the 2002 American Indian Film Festival held in San Francisco.
Leach appears on June 21 at 3 p.m. on the main stage at Jubilee Park, behind the Visitor Information Centre with an opening performance by First Peoples Performances.
Since June 21 is National Aboriginal Day, there will be a bannock bake-off at 11 am, a noon fish and bannock meal served by NorthwesTel and a 1 pm concert.
Besides the main stage, there are three venues: The Old Fire Hall, an Artist Studio Tent and a workshop tent on 1st Avenue.
Thoughout the festival, there will be a variety of Yukon First Nation performances.
Elders featured will be Doris McLean (Carcross/Tagish), Ida Calmegane (Carcross/Tagish) and Joseph Johnson (Southern Tutchone).
Comedy by yours truly, "Gramma Susie & Cash Creek Charlie (aka Duane Aucoin)" and local musicians appearing will be Daniel Tlen, Rising Sun, Say No More and Old Crow's hilarious fiddler, Allan Benjamin.
Also, a performance by Andrameda Hunter.
Aboriginal films will be co-presented by SYANA and the Yukon Film Society at The Visitor Information Centre Theatre as well, including Anash and the Legacy of the Sun-Rock Rock by director Carol Geddes, Helen Good by director Shirley McLean and The Hunt: Food from the Land by new Whitehorse resident, director Dennis Allen.
Johnson reflects on why she undertook this ambitious festival: "I have my own reasons – to promote the hidden jewels of First Nation performers and artists and to have opportunities to network, promote and engage with other artists."

Missing Data Hinders Contractor Disclosure Rule Nine Years In
Missing Data Hinders Contractor Disclosure Rule Nine Years In(1)
August 2, 2017, BNA's Federal Contracts Report
Fred Levy is quoted in a Federal Contracts Report article regarding the effectiveness of the Mandatory Disclosure Rule, enacted almost a decade ago. "I've heard anecdotally that some government people complain that they get mostly the small stuff, and that there must be bigger matters out there," says Levy. "On the other hand, from my perspective as somebody who works with contractors, I can tell you that the disclosure requirement is ingrained in them," he adds. "They know the rule, they understand the rule, and almost uniformly, when an issue pops up, they ask, 'Is this a disclosure matter? And if I do make a disclosure, is it to the IG, or is to the contracting officer?' My clients err on the side of disclosure."
Before the disclosure rule was adopted, Levy says, "There was concern that contractors would tend to characterize matters as not involving fraud — that contractors would dump an issue on a contracting officer, and would try to avoid it being brought to the attention of DOJ or the IGs, and yet get the benefits of having disclosed it." But it's a different story now, he notes. "I haven't heard anybody, since the inception of the rule, talking about soft disclosures as an issue."

Man charged with drunk driving after father reports him
by Robert R. Hart, Jr., Attorney at Law | Oct 13, 2016 | drunk driving
According to law enforcement officers, a man was charged with a DUI after the officers claim his blood alcohol level was almost three times the Ohio limit of 0.08 percent. The incident happened on Oct. 8 around 9:09 p.m. at the Mickey Mart in Greenwich.
Officers with the Greenwich Police Department said that the 28-year-old man's father called the police to report that the man was driving drunk. Police were told to watch for a silver Impala without tags. Officers reported that they saw the vehicle at the Mickey Mart. The man was reportedly standing outside of the car pumping gas. The officers reported that the car did have Ohio license plates on it and called the dispatcher back to make certain it was the correct car.
The officer said that he parked across the street and saw the man initially begin pulling out of the lot before returning to it. The officer then stopped him and claimed that the man almost jumped out of the car at him. He alleged that the man told him he had drank about eight beers and drove because no one would agree to take him to buy more beer. The man reportedly had a breathalyzer result of 0.217. The police report that he had three prior DUI convictions and three active suspensions on his license.
People who are charged with drunk driving may face serious penalties, including jail and significant fines if a conviction is obtained. When a person has had multiple convictions, the penalties become much more severe. In some cases, a criminal defense attorney can challenge the traffic stop that led to the arrest as being made without probable cause.

The Asia-Pacific Water Forum (APWF) was conceived during planning processes by countries in Asia for the 4th World Water Forum at Mexico City in March 2006. Because of the severe shortages of water in Asia and political-economic diversity in the region, there was a need for a regional planning group. The APWF was officially launched on September 27, 2006.
The goal of the APWF is to contribute to sustainable water management in order to achieve the targets of the MDGs in Asia and the Pacific by capitalizing on the region's diversity and rich history of experience in dealing with water as a fundamental part of the human existence. Specifically, the APWF shall champion efforts aimed at boosting investments, building capacity, and enhancing cooperation in the water sector at the regional level and beyond.
A portion of this goal intends for the APWF to capitalize on the region's history of dealing with water. What about the massive water shortages faced in Asia due to misguided irrigation and damming projects? Additionally, the goal states the APWF "shall champion efforts aimed at boosting investments." Would these projects be sustainable and in alignment with providing drinking water and sanitation to all people?
Meanwhile, the APWF will hold the 1stAsia-Pacific Water Summit in Osaka, Japan in December 2007. This annual event will give any of the 47 member countries the chance to showcase water policy that has achieved the above-stated goal. It could be interesting to follow the Summit this year to see what types of progress (and what views of progress) members of the APWF are presenting.

How Playing Football Almost Caused This Boy to Become Paralyzed
Daniel Duane
From Men's Journal
This 11-year-old's brain injury completely rattled one devout gridiron family.
Jake Chessum for Reader's Digest
It was a crisp Sunday afternoon in Missoula, Montana, and Mike Callaghan stood in the blustery sunshine doing the thing he loved best: coaching his 11-year-old son Brogan's football team. Brogan Callaghan was the Panthers' 2015 season quarterback, but he was the kind of football prodigy who also played defense—linebacker, in fact, a position his father had once played with the Montana State University Bobcats over in Bozeman.
The game against the Chargers was in the second quarter. Brogan had just thrown a touchdown to tie the score at 14 and then quickly switched over to defense. As the opposing team's offense lined up, Mike noticed their running back go into motion early. "Sweep!" Mike yelled from the sidelines, but Brogan was already on it, slipping right around a big offensive tackle. Brogan was just about to take down the runner when he was slammed from behind—an illegal hit that flexed his spine, snapped his head forward, and sent him colliding into one of his own teammates. He went down hard, banging the back of his head into the dirt.
Mike went straight for the referee, screaming that this was the second time that player had made the same illegal block.
"That's twice," Mike yelled. "You've got to call that."
But another Panthers coach, Eric Dawald, noticed something more alarming: Brogan wasn't getting up. Dawald rushed onto the field and found the boy on his back, barely conscious. Brogan opened his eyes and looked up. "I can't see," he said.
Brogan's mother, Shannon Callaghan, was chatting with friends in the bleachers when she heard somebody say, "I think that's Brogan." She ran to the field, reaching her son at the same time her husband did.
Brogan looked up at his parents. "I can't feel my legs," he said. An ambulance drove onto the grass, and a paramedic removed the face mask from Brogan's helmet. They asked him what day it was, and Brogan answered incorrectly. They asked his birthday, and he didn't know that either.
Some of his teammates were crying as the paramedics strapped their quarterback to a backboard, placed an oxygen mask over his face, and loaded him into the ambulance. Shannon climbed in, and they sped the boy across the Clark Fork River to St. Patrick Hospital.
Mike drove separately, his mind racing through worst-case scenarios: We'll buy a one-level house. I'll change jobs so I can be home more, learn to care for a paraplegic child. Another thought intruded: I was the coach. This happened on my watch. How did I do this to my kid?
While the emergency room doctors evaluated Brogan, Shannon's and Mike's parents arrived at the hospital. After filling them in about Brogan's condition, Shannon turned to Mike's father. James Callaghan was an oral surgeon who had played football in college and loved watching his grandson play as much as he had loved watching Mike. In fact, in all of Mike's years of playing youth football, his father had missed just one game, when Mike was in the sixth grade. "I don't ever want Brogan to play football again," Shannon told her father-in-law. "And you have to back me up on this." James told her it was none of his business.
Finally settled at the emergency room, Brogan looked at his father and asked, "Am I paralyzed?"
I think you are, Mike thought. "You're going to be all right," he said. He watched a tear roll down his son's cheek and thought, He knows.
Brogan looked up at Mike and said, "Who are you?"
For years, many doctors believed that children were less likely than adults to suffer serious head injuries in football, for the simple reason that they weigh less and run more slowly than adults do. Now it's well understood that until about age 14, a kid's head is much larger than an adult's compared with his or her body, yet the neck is weaker, which means the head bounces around more in response to collisions. Researchers at Virginia Tech found that seven-year-old football players experienced head blows comparable in force to the impacts suffered by college players.

To make matters worse, the nerve fibers in children's brains are not yet coated with the protective sheathing known as myelin. As a result, "it's easier to tear apart neurons and their connections in children at lower impact," says Robert Cantu, MD, the author of Concussions and Our Kids and a leading researcher of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), the brain-wasting disease that has been diagnosed in more than 100 deceased NFL players. The threat to emerging neural connections is particularly problematic between the ages of 10 and 12, when the brain circuitry that helps shape personality is being developed. "If you injure your brain during that time," Dr. Cantu says, "there is a high likelihood that you will not reach your maximal genetic endowment intellectually, and you'll perhaps not have the same personality with regard to depression, anxiety, and panic attacks."
Brogan's doctors were unsure about the cause of his paralysis, but they agreed that he had suffered a traumatic brain injury. Fortunately, by the evening, Brogan could move his legs, sit up in bed, and walk across the room. The following morning, Mike woke up feeling optimistic. Then a doctor arrived and asked Brogan his name. Brogan got his first name right but couldn't remember his last name—or why he was in the hospital. Still, after a two-day stay, he was well enough to go home. Don't miss these 7 concussion symptoms you should never ignore.
A week later, when the family returned to the hospital for a follow-up visit, Mike found himself unexpectedly relieved when the doctor said that Brogan would have to sit out the rest of the football season. "I remember being thankful that the doctor told him so I wouldn't have to," Mike says. "I was sort of off the hook."
Missing a single season was one thing. Still, the idea that Brogan might never play again—clearly what Shannon wanted—was nearly impossible for Mike to contemplate. For one thing, Brogan loved the game and had the makings of a real standout. What's more, the sport had been central to Mike's life for as long as he could remember. He started as a fifth grader in the Little Grizzly league; his coach from those days remained one of his closest confidants. Among his dearest friends were teammates from Hellgate High and Montana State. During Mike's junior year, in 1984, the MSU Bobcats won the NCAA Division I-AA national championship—a feat Montana football fans still talk about.
Of course, football ends hard: You wake up one day and it's over. Nobody plays tackle ball in middle age. Mike took up coaching at 31, even though he had no kids of his own. He started with his nephew's team of fifth and sixth graders. Soon a few of his old football buddies, including Eric Dawald, came to help. They loved having a reason to hang out after work, teaching the fundamentals and feeling that old excitement on game days. When one of the group had a son, the others promised to keep coaching as long as the kid played, a pact that soon extended to every son any of them might ever have. Boys they'd coached went on to play at local high schools, the University of Montana, Montana State, and even the pros.
Brogan and his mom, Shannon, grab a bite to eat after school.
Mike had mostly given up on having children of his own when, at age 40, he met and married Shannon. An interior architect and former competitive swimmer, Shannon had grown up in rural Havre, Montana, with a pair of football-obsessed brothers. She loved the way Mike welcomed Griffin, her nine-year-old son from a previous marriage, onto his team. When Brogan was born, in 2003, Mike insisted his buddies renew their vow to keep coaching.
Brogan started playing flag football in the fourth grade, in 2013. By that time, the relationship between football and brain trauma was well established. Three years earlier, a Missoula kid named Dylan Steigers, who'd started out in local youth leagues, went off to play at Eastern Oregon University and took a big hit in a scrimmage. He died the next day.
Shannon, meanwhile, had been getting warnings from her older brother, Scott Brown, a former high school running back and now an anesthesiologist and pain specialist in Portland, Oregon. "I'd see these 40-year-olds coming in just maimed, having these big surgeries from playing football in high school, college, the pros," he says. Brown became convinced that letting a kid play tackle football was akin to child abuse. He implored his siblings to keep their kids off the field. Find out when you must go to the ER after a head injury.
But Shannon felt trapped—nobody could tell her husband what to think about football. Most of the CTE research, Mike argued, had been done on the brains of former players known to have problems. He had attended one of USA Football's Heads Up Football clinics, where he'd been schooled in the latest safe-tackling techniques. And he would never consider letting a concussed kid play before a complete recovery.
Three weeks after his injury, Brogan was cleared to go back to school, but he could last only an hour or so a day. He sometimes flew into sudden, inexplicable rages, and Shannon mostly stopped working to care for him. Mike spent his days at the office and continued to coach the Panthers in the evening. He coached out of a sense of obligation, both to his fellow coaches and to the players. But now it felt different: He watched every tackle with anxiety, waiting for the child to get up and walk it off.
Both of Shannon's brothers, meanwhile, were relentless. Howard Brown sent his sister one news article after another about kids such as Evan Murray, a 17-year-old New Jersey quarterback; Ben Hamm, a 16-year-old linebacker from Bartlesville, Oklahoma; and 17-year-old Kenney Bui from the Seattle suburbs, all of whom died within a month of one another early that fall. All told, 17 kids died playing football that season.
One night, Shannon tried to share these stories with her husband. "We are not talking about this," he said.
It wasn't until seven weeks after the injury that Brogan was able to form new memories. He started neurological rehab therapy and scored terribly on cognitive tests, which included closing his eyes and touching his nose. Math worksheets that would have taken five minutes before the injury now took an hour and left Brogan exhausted. Riding on a stationary bicycle gave him a headache.
In February, Mike and Brogan sat on the couch to watch the Super Bowl. Shannon overheard Brogan begin a sentence with the phrase, "When I play in the NFL …"
"That's not going to happen," Shannon said.
Later she heard her husband tell Brogan, "But when you play in high school …"
"It's not going to happen," she said.
"We don't have to decide this now," Mike replied.
Later still, Brogan asked his mom, "Why won't you let me play?"
"Because God gave you that big brain so you can do something amazing in this world."
"He also made me a good football player," Brogan said.
"But that can't be your future."
Mike turned to Shannon. "But what about his dream?"
Shannon thought, Whose dream is it?
But Mike could not let go of football. He thought about all the things he wanted his son to experience: the friendships, the teamwork, the victories.
And despite their differences, Shannon understood. "Mike wants his kid to be a football star," she says. "And Brogan would be the star. He's a leader and damn good, and everyone looks up to him."
Mike struggled to imagine what his own life would be like without football. What would he do on weeknights and Sunday mornings in the fall? When would he see his friends? Who would he be? "Every time I thought about it, my mind just went blank," he says.
In August, Mike got a call from officials at Missoula Youth Football: Did he plan to coach the next season? After months of agonizing, almost entirely to himself, he'd finally made a decision. "Brogan's not going to play, and I'm not going to coach," he said.
Mike couldn't bear to think of it as a permanent decision, telling his son that it was only for the one season. But Brogan was unconvinced. "You know it's forever," he said. "Mom's never going to let me play again."
Mike and Brogan still watch football together—high school games on Fridays, Montana State on Saturdays, and their former team on Sunday afternoons. "It's kind of hard because I'm not playing," Brogan says. "I think about what I would do against the teams when I watch." He has hurled himself into basketball and started taking tennis lessons. Brogan admits that he hasn't yet fully recovered. Schoolwork doesn't come as easily as it once did, but Shannon isn't worried. "Brogan missed 234 classes in the sixth grade," she says, "and he finished with three A-pluses and three As." Now, instead of going to Stanford University to play football, he wants to go to the University of California, Berkeley, to study architecture—his mother's passion.
Mike says he often thinks back to a day a few weeks after Brogan's injury. League officials asked how he wanted to handle that fateful, unfinished game. "A big part of me was, 'I don't want to handle it,'" Mike says. But the kids cared about completing the game, and Mike felt it would have been selfish to refuse.
That meant bringing the teams back to the field behind the county fairgrounds. The Panthers and the Chargers lined up exactly where they'd been the moment Brogan was injured—but with Brogan now on the sidelines with his father. The referee set the game clock to where it had stopped and blew the whistle, and they played the remainder of the game. The Panthers lost. For the first time in his life, Mike didn't care. Now, learn the surprising things about your brain you probably didn't know.

Оруже́йная бáшня (ранее — Коню́шенная) — башня северо-западной части стены Московского Кремля, расположена между Боровицкой и Комендантской башнями. Возведена в 1490-х годах. Изначально автором проекта считали архитектора Пьетро Антонио Солари, однако со второй половины XX века большинство учёных склоняются к тому, что строительством руководил Алевиз Фрязин Старый. Башню неоднократно реставрировали: в начале XVII века на верхних площадках были созданы бойницы навесного типа, а в 1686-м добавлен каменный шатёр с дозорной вышкой и позолоченным флюгером.

Изначально башня называлась Конюшенной — по существовавшим на этом месте в XVII—XVIII веках проездным воротам к Конюшенному приказу. Современное название она получила в 1851 году после постройки на месте приказа здания Оружейной палаты. С 1990-го башня является объектом культурного наследия России и охраняется как часть ансамбля Московского Кремля, внесённого в список ЮНЕСКО.

История

Строительство
Башня была возведена в 1490-х годах как промежуточная башня Московского Кремля. Несмотря на то, что точная дата постройки не известна, существует несколько версий её возникновения. Ранее считалось, что строительством Оружейной башни, как и других башен северо-западной Кремлёвской стены, руководил миланский архитектор Пьетро Антонио Солари. Однако начиная со второй половины XX века большинство историков предполагают, что башня была построена уже после смерти архитектора в 1493 году Алевизом Фрязином, заканчивающим постройки, начатые Солари. Первым делом мастер провёл гидротехнические работы и укрепил берега реки — к концу XV века земля у примыкающих стен стала превращаться в заболоченную пойму из-за глинистого берега реки Неглинной. После выполненных работ земля могла выдерживать массивные сооружения и не сползать.

Оружейная башня представляла собой фортификационное сооружение: как и другие башни Кремля, она функционировала как самостоятельная крепость, в которой защитники могли продолжать оборону даже в том случае, если соседние башни были взяты врагами. Для этого прямоугольную в плане конструкцию оборудовали боевыми ярусами и бойницами для фронтального и фланкирующего огня. Попасть на башню из крепости было невозможно, а с наружной стороны её окружали овраги и пруды, куда жители окрестностей сбрасывали мусор. Венчал башню позолоченный флюгер. Внутренняя планировка двухъярусная, помещения смыкаются перекрытыми сводами. Вход в нижний ярус расположен со стороны Кремля. Завершалась башня зубцами с бойницами и деревянной скатной крышей, которую впоследствии заменили на типовой кирпичный парапет с ширинками.

XVII век
В начале XVII века на верхней площадке были созданы машикули — бойницы навесного боя, находящиеся под наклоном на первом этаже для лучшего обзора подножия башни. Спустя столетие их за ненадобностью заложили кирпичом. В настоящее время следы машикулей можно увидеть снаружи, возле нижнего четверика башни.

Согласно описи ветхостей 1667 года, к тому времени многие башни кремлёвской стены требовали капитального ремонта. Однако выгодное расположение на возвышенном сухом месте позволило конструкции Оружейной башни хорошо сохраниться — в описи она фигурирует «без порух». С 1676 по 1686 год здание перестраивалось: добавился каменный шатёр с дозорной вышкой и позолоченным флюгером. Надстройки позволили обозревать окрестности и предупреждать о пожарах, которые были частым явлением в Москве XVII века. В это же время в башне появились проездные ворота, предназначенные для доступа к царскому Конюшенному двору, с чем и связано первое название башни — «Конюшенная». Проход просуществовал до начала XVIII века, а при его уничтожении произошёл излом наружного фасада, заметно испортивший внешний вид здания. Особенно отчётливо излом виден на Сигизмундовом плане Москвы. Историк Сергей Бартенев вспоминал:.

XVIII век

В 1701 году император Пётр I провёл ревизию крепостных сооружений Кремля: был составлен подробный отчёт о всех постройках, а также выполнены измерения каждой башни. У Оружейной башни были указаны следующие параметры: длина 3,5 саженей (6,4 метра), ширина — 3,25 саженей (5,9 метра), высота — 20,3 саженей (37,1 метра). Судя по сохранившимся записям того времени, черепица была зелёного цвета. Об этом свидетельствуют данные о закупках свинца — его муравленье (глазуровка) даёт зелёный оттенок.

В 1707 году Оружейная башня была укреплена для отражения возможного нападения шведской армии: у подножия насыпали земляные валы и возвели бастионы. После победы российской армии в Северной войне и переноса столицы в Санкт-Петербург военные укрепления оказались заброшенными. В 1790-х была предпринята попытка перестроить бастионы, однако в результате ремонта разлив реки Неглинной возле Боровицкой и Оружейной башен превратился в болото. Военные постройки были ликвидированы только в XIX веке, следы от их конструкций сохранились и по настоящее время.

XIX век

Перед коронацией Александра I в 1801 году началась масштабная реставрация территорий Кремля. Сносом ветхих построек и ремонтом полуразрушенных башен руководил начальник Дворцового Ведомства Пётр Валуев. В результате проведённых работ площадка и парапеты Оружейной башни были выстланы лещадью, проведены водосточные трубы, обветшавшие части заменены новыми, а сам шатёр покрыт глазурованной черепицей.

В отличие от многих других построек Московского Кремля, Оружейная башня не пострадала во время оккупации Москвы Наполеоном в 1812 году — подведённые под её фундамент мины не взорвались. В 1813-м строение было осмотрено инженер-полковником Сазоновым и архитектором Иваном Еготовым на предмет «оставленных мин для разряда оных» и нанесённого урона. По результатам проверки башня находилась в удовлетворительном состоянии, но прилегающие к ней стены были признаны сильно обветшавшими. В 1821 году одна из прилегающих к Боровицкой башне стен была укреплена контрфорсами.

В начале XIX века у стен башни по-прежнему находились остатки петровских бастионов, использовавшиеся зимой как горки для катаний. В 1821 году река Неглинная по проекту архитектора Осипа Бове была заключена «в трубу» — перекрытый сводом кирпичный канал, в пойму засыпали землёй. Тогда же ликвидировали и остатки бастионов. Вскоре на этом месте был разбит Александровский сад, разделённый на несколько частей. Та из них, которая прилегала к Оружейной башне, называлась Вторым Александровским садом и была обнесена декоративной решёткой и высокой позолоченной оградой, выполненной по проекту архитектора Евгения Паскаля. Для публики сад открыли в 1823 году.

В 1840 году соседний с башней Конюшенный двор был разобран для строительства нового здания Оружейной палаты. В 1851-м Конюшенную башню переименовали в Оружейную — в честь построенного музея-хранилища. Несмотря на то, что с середины XIX века рядом с башней располагались оружейные мастерские, самому зданию не нашлось функционального применения. Как вспоминал генерал Михаил Фабрициус, Оружейная башня «была не занята ничем… поэтому можно было только любоваться её характерными формами с выступными балконами вокруг».

В 1864 году башню решили отреставрировать, работы поручили архитектору Петру Герасимову. Изначально предполагалась только замена кирпичной кладки стен парапетов и обветшавших частей башни, перекройка платформы лещадью белого камня, а также реконструкция лестницы. Однако в результате тщательного изучения трещин на цоколе в план реставрации включили покрытие шпиля и шатра новой черепицей, замену флюгера, а также кровельные и кузнечные работы на крыше. В ходе реставрации были переделаны цоколь, пояса, карнизы, арки, дуги. Парапет с правой стороны наружного фасада был удлинён для устранения кособокости нижней части, однако необходимый эффект не был достигнут и окна кажутся расположенными ближе к левой стороне. С внешней стороны к башне примыкает фундамент бастиона XVIII века, возведённого по инициативе .

В 1894 году археолог князь Николай Щербатов провёл раскопки у Боровицкой башни. В ходе работ он обнаружил в прясле стены между Боровицкой и Оружейной башнями есть арочный пролёт без фундамента, в XVII—XVIII веках он выходил к Конюшенному двору. Учёный пришёл к выводу, что сооружение было построено для стока почвенных вод на месте глубокого оврага, спускающегося к Неглинной. Также, по мнению археолога, между Боровицкой и Оружейной башнями существовал проход внутри стен, однако его остатков обнаружить не удалось. Исследование Щербатова стало одной из первых комплексных работ по изучению Кремля.

XX век

В начале XX века Пётр Бартенев сделал замеры башни, согласно которым её высота составляла 14,5 сажени (30,9 метра), периметр основы — 14 саженей (29,9 метра), высота низа — 7 саженей (14,9 метра), высота верха — 7 саженей (14,9 метра), а число этажей — 4. Башня не пострадала ни во время артобстрела Кремля осенью 1917 года, ни во время налётов немецкой авиации в 1941—1942 годах. В 1973—1981 годах в здании проводилась реставрация под руководством архитекторов Алексея Воробьёва и Алексея Хамцова, в результате которой восстановили белокаменный декор и заменили ветхие детали. После окончания работ башню покрыли силикатной краской и водоотталкивающей эмульсией.

Современность
Современный вид Оружейной башни сохранил формы XVI века и соответствует измерениям начала XX века, сделанным Петром Бартеневым. Однако башня не является функциональной: из-за отсутствия отопления и водопровода здание не может использоваться. В ходе кремлёвской реконструкции 2017—2018 года на Оружейной башне укрепили и очистили белокаменное навершие, отреставрировали декоративные элементы надстройки башни и металлического шара, обновили флюгер на башне. По состоянию на 2018 год у исследователей по-прежнему нет данных о тайниках Оружейной башни и устройстве её подземных частей. По словам советника директора ФСО России Сергея Девятова, предположительно, данные по строительству и устройству башен Кремля были засекречены и уничтожены.
