July 30, 2020 July 30, 2020 Book Review Gal
Fire and Vengeance
The torrential rains of Hurricane Ida pour far too much water into Hualālai Mountain's volcanic crater, where it flashes into steam under incredible pressure. One of the volcano's vents is under KonaWili elementary school, where hundreds of students and teachers are enveloped in yellow sulfuric smoke and white-hot temperatures. As Hilo Chief Detective Koa Kane is helicoptered to the scene, he's sickened by the sight of so many injured and dead children, or keiki: "red tags for the critical, and black tags for the dead. Way too many red and black tags."
A bomb squad robot helps police and firefighters explore the building, where they find inexplicable evidence like a fireproof steel classroom door and a 60-foot-long basement chamber with six-foot-thick concrete walls. The first responders have found visible proof that the building contractor knew the school was situated over a volcanic vent and fruitlessly tried to create barriers against inevitable explosions, for which there are no manmade defenses.
Kane and his rock-solid sergeant, Basa, begin investigating the crime at the express order of Governor Bobbie Mahoe, since the Hilo police chief is in California for surgery. They soon find the building contractor dead, hanging from an electrical cord in his spacious home, and the Micronesian excavator & grader he hired, dying of cancer, confirms that he showed Boyle the active vent. He was given a large bonus to stay quiet, a bonus so large it allowed him to purchase his dirt farm littered with dead bulldozers, rickety houses, and small children. However, he notes sadly, Pele has taken her revenge: his grandson was one of the children who died inside the school.
Not long afterward, the school's architect, Arthur Witherspoon, is shot dead at point-blank range in his home's doorway. By that time, it's clear to Kane and Basu that a massive, murderous cover-up is underway. A well-known developer and a retired county planning official are in the crosshairs, as well as the head of Hawaii's department of education, but Kane can't figure out what connects them or prompted their cooperation on such a corrupt project, even as someone takes a shot at the developer in his front yard.
And while Kane is dealing with such a horrific conspiracy, his frequent-felon brother, Ikaika, passes out in the county jail and is taken to the hospital, where doctors find a huge, slow-growing brain tumor that has been affecting his behavior since childhood. Is there an explanation for the immense pain Ikaika has caused his family? Can he be paroled for behavior he couldn't control?
Kane is clearly facing the most difficult case of his career – the injuries and deaths of so many children alongside a tightly interwoven group he can't penetrate but knows they hold the secrets of the KonaWili disaster – while trying to balance the welfare of his family, especially his felonious brother and his quiet but firmly insistent mother, a respected native healer who adheres to the old ways. Robert McCaw has constructed a tightrope of a novel that stretches the nerves of its readers just as periously as a rope across Hualālai's crater.

These days, the space you and your family choose to enjoy TV shows, movies, and games has the potential to be so much more than a clumsy old TV sitting on top of a stand. Check out this list of the Top 10 Things Every TV Viewing Room Needs to entertain your family and friends in style.
With the immense amount of television technology currently at our disposal, the options are seemingly endless when it comes to finding the right TV, so you'll need to determine which features are most important and make the most sense for you.
Pick Your Light. Plasma TVs are best for darkened rooms with not much natural light, while LED displays perform better in bright rooms. LCD TVs have limited viewing angles compared to plasma, but are much more energy efficient.
Is a Smart TV a smart choice for you? Basic Smart TVs have the capability to browse the Web or stream movies. More advanced systems can do things like voice control, link to your Smartphone, or develop a recommendation for shows based on what you've previously watched.
Size Matters. Factors that play a role in choosing a screen size include: budget, viewing distance, and desired resolution. Click here to calculate how far you should sit from the TV depending on its size.
For more in-depth tips on picking the right TV, check out pcmag.com's article, How to Buy an HDTV.
Mounted TVs are safer, look stylish, can enhance acoustics, provide better viewing angles, and take up less space in a room. It's puzzling why all TV owners don't already have their televisions mounted. Use the SANUS MountFinder to find the perfect mount for you from the #1 brand in the US.
Components like cable boxes, Blu-ray players, streaming media players, soundbars, speakers, and gaming systems are another important part of a well-rounded setup, but can often become cumbersome with various cords, remotes, or controllers. The right piece of audio video furniture will house all of your AV gear while keeping them protected from tipping and overheating. Along with outstanding functionality, all SANUS furniture is crafted beautifully and stylishly to fit any home decor.
Okay, so your fancy new TV sounds great, but maybe great isn't enough. You're going for mind-blowingly awesome, so you've bought yourself a soundbar, and now you have enough sound to entertain the neighbors half way down the block. (Sweet!) But where is the soundbar going to fit into your TV and furniture setup? Easy! This soundbar speaker mount attaches directly to the TV for a convenient and stylish setup. It's so amazing, the sound literally moves with the TV. Or, if you choose, you can place your soundbar in an amazing piece of SANUS furniture -- designed specifically to hide soundbars yet not affect sound.
Whether or not you prefer an over-stuffed chair or a large leather sectional, comfortable seating is a must. Nice cozy blankets, pillows, and a footstool will also be key in achieving top levels of comfort.
If you've checked off numbers 1-5 on this list, the last thing you want is dust or fingerprints cramping your style. The answer? Streak-free screen cleaner.
Now that we've got the basics down, you can start adding novelty items to your viewing room. Fun-sized fridges stocked with your favorite soda, juice, or adult beverage will be perfectly accessible for any time you need to quench your thirst.
Cheesy? Maybe a little, but we're thinking it'll be more buttery than anything. A retro popcorn maker says, ""This is where the fun and magic happens. Come. Eat. Enjoy.""
Whether it's the big game, your guilty-pleasure teen drama or the highly anticipated fourth season of Game of Thrones, you'll need to find something captivating to watch. IMDb has perfected a list of the Top 250 Movies of All Time.
Cozy up to your significant other. Host your child's next sleepover. Or just cuddle up with your pet. Regardless, your space will be enjoyable for all.
If you're able to check all ten things on this list, congrats, and when can we come over?

David Moyes planning to "park the double-decker bus" at Anfield
Jack Lusby
Sunderland manager David Moyes has acknowledged that his side need a strong defensive effort to get a result away to Liverpool.
The Black Cats head to Anfield having failed to win there in 33 years in the league, but are on the back of two straight victories against Bournemouth and Hull City.
They are still 19th in the Premier League and have conceded 21 goals in the league, fewer than only three sides, and Moyes is looking to take a defensive approach.
"I think you have to park the double-decker bus, I think anybody who has to play Liverpool has to park the double-decker bus," he said.
"But hopefully we'll have two centre-forwards like we've got at the moment scoring goals at the other end of the pitch as well.
"I don't think you can kid yourself, Liverpool are in good form, a good team, and you have to be able to do that."
Moyes' bus-parking plan is one that Sunderland player Jason Denayer doesn't seem to agree with, with the Belgian saying this week:
"We need to play like we played against Hull, because if we stay defensive they are very good at breaking you down and scoring.
"We need to try and score goals ourselves, and see what happens."
Jurgen Klopp joked that Sunderland are "favourites" based on form, but while Moyes drew on his experience of taking on the Reds as he previewed the clash on Friday, he admitted it would be a "tough game."
"It's always easy to pull out stats, when we last won, but all I can say is we won last week at Hull City," he said.
"We go into the game after a couple of good victories and hopefully we're going to go to Anfield and do the same again.
"It's always been tough, they've always had really good teams, Liverpool. Incredible teams.
"The periods at Everton when we played them, it was always tough to beat them.
"But I think if you look we had a lot of draws there, we didn't always lose there—I think people say that, but we didn't!
"Fortunately enough in the last two seasons at Everton we finished above them, so that tells you that we must have done OK.
"We lost 1-0 with Manchester United there, it was a tight game and we actually played quite well, so it's been a hard place to go.
"It's a really good football club. Good great support, they've had fantastic players over the years.
"So it's always a tough game, whoever you are and whatever club you're at."
This suggests Moyes will opt to keep at least nine men behind the ball at all times, likely with the bullish Victor Anichebe also dropping back, leaving only Jermain Defoe up front.
Sunderland could, therefore, take inspiration from Southampton's approach in last weekend's 0-0 draw, a result which Moyes admitted he would welcome.
When asked if he was hoping for a draw, Moyes said: "I'd probably shake your hand now and say thanks, yes."
Liverpool are likely to find it tough to break through Sunderland's defensive line, but as they're ability to create chances at St Mary's proved, they are still capable of sealing a win.

More than 40 'quiltlets' made for future Gustavus Community Center
Thursday, July 5, 2018 3:12pm
NeighborsCapital City WeeklyFeatures
Thirty people in Gustavus made 43 different mini-quilts, or as the group likes to call them "quiltlets," for the new Gustavus Community Center.
Since 1976, a local artist would create a T-shirt design for the Independence Day celebration. While the first were silk-screen prints for a race event, the subsequent ones were sold to benefit the arts and culture scene in town; the money has gone on to bring different musicians in to perform, or more recently, fundraising to build the new community center.
Fundraising for the Gustavus Community Center (GCC) has been ongoing since 2009. The proposed 3,200-square-foot facility will serve as a large gathering space, being able to seat 200 people. A 2017 Capital City Weekly article reported that the estimated cost of the total project would be $1.4 million. Funds so far have come from grants, like from the Rasmuson Foundation which awarded GCC a "top off grant" of up to $400,000 in 2017, and community fundraisers and donations.
Annie Mackovjak and Lynne Jensen have been collecting the specialty T-shirts since 1977 with the hope of turning them into an art project. All of Jensen's shirts were ones she bought for herself or her husband, and Mackovjak's were ones she bought for herself or found at the local thrift store The Community Chest, Mackovjak said. Two years ago, the pair pooled their shirts together, organizing them by date and determining which shirts were missing from the collection. Mackovjak hung onto them for a time until Chris Gabriele, a committee member of the Gustavus Community Center, expressed interest in them and put out a call for creative ideas on how to display the shirts, Mackovjak said.
Enter Ellie Sharman, a retired teacher and fiber artist. She hadn't worked with T-shirts before and was initially hesitant to take on a project, but then she had an idea.
"I got the idea for each one being its own quilt," Sharman said. "That completely changed it for me. Then I realized it could be any size and each person who took on the job could design it how they wanted and use whatever fabric they had and I didn't have to organize this big thing where everybody had to do the same thing and each one had to fit into a larger picture. We're just going to string them on a line, like T-shirts on a clothesline."
The initial group was 10-12 people, and over the course of the five meetings during the winter of 2017, it grew to 30 participants. By the second meeting, Sharman had a sample quiltlet to show the group. The group cut out all T-shirt designs, and once prepped, individuals would take squares home to add borders and the string sleeve. They even had a sewing day at the Gustavus Library. On the final meeting they hand-sewed labels onto the back of each, stating the artist, year of the design, and who made the quiltlet.
One sewer, Layla Ohlson, 7, decided to make a quiltlet out of her grandmother's T-shirt design from 1986, Kate Boesser.
"Her grandmother helped her but she put the borders on it and came to a couple of the meetings and helped sew the labels on. But she was the youngest," Sharman said. Since Sharman is retired, she has also taught sewing to some of the girls in town, and some between the ages of 11-13 took part in the art project too.
"It was really cool because it spanned the generations," she said. "There have been people who are brand new in town to people who have lived here for decades who kind of recognize the T-shirts from years back."
When the community center is built, the quiltlets will be strung up like prayer flags in chronological order, though the order they're arranged can be changed if desired, Sharman said. After the quiltlets are unveiled at the Independence Day celebration, they will temporarily go up at the local Alaska Seaplanes building.
"The designs on all the shirts are different but they're all about life here in Gustavus," Sharman said. "I think of it as a document of our town through art."

What's Your Status?
By Biz Stone
Twitter was in part created because we thought the increasing amount of folks using the status message field in their IM client to indirectly communicate with friends indicated a potential need or market for a service built around that sort of use case. Check out the Wikipedia entry on Status message (IM):
A status message is a function of some instant messaging applications whereby a user may post a message that appears automatically to other users if they attempt to make contact. It is analogous to the voice message in an answering machine or voice mail system. However, status messages may be displayed even if the person is present. They are often updated much more frequently than messages in answering machines, and thus may serve as a means of instant, limited "publication" or indirect communication.
Whereas answering machine or voice mail messages often have a generic greeting to leave a message, status messages more often contain a description of where the person is at the moment or what they are doing. Because most instant messaging clients indicate to users when their online contacts are away before they send a message, more often than not away messages are meant to be read in lieu of sending a message, rather than a response. Away messages are not to be confused with idle messages, which is an automatic reply to a message when the messaging client has determined that the replier is not at his or her computer.
Particularly among younger users, status messages are likely to contain a joke, song lyrics, or an adage instead of an actual description of where the user is. And sometimes the user will mock the reader to make him feel stupid. This is done so that potential contacters will have something to read more entertaining than the dry and uninteresting "I am away from my computer right now" which is often the default message on popular instant messaging clients.
Do you see how we are right about that? Well, not everyone carries their laptop around with them wherever they go which is why we built Twitter to work over SMS. Nevertheless, when we started building Twitter, I remembered an old screenshot that blogger Matt Haughey posted in December of 2004.
In the caption, Haughey noted the interestingness of his cumulative status messages: "We also use status as a presence monitor and I noticed today I have racked up a story of my life over the past six months, in statuses."
He's not kidding. Since building Twitter, I have published almost 12,000 words through the system either through SMS messages or the web UI. That's roughly the equivalent of six months of blogging at Biz Stone, Genius. That's a lot of tiny little updates. Google's Chris Wetherell also says, he's "blogging with Twitter more than with any other service" and Tony Stubblebine insists that Twitter "is now the ONLY way I keep in contact with people."
Tony's remark is important because it aptly describes Twitter as an effortless way to stay connected that works with his life on his schedule. Now if I can just get my little sister out in Maine to sign up, I think we'll really have something here.

Telehealth improves access to care for rural communities
The introduction of a regional clinical portal for patient information has been life changing for rural hospital doctor Hannah Lawn.
Dr Lawn works in the 24-hour emergency department at Hāwera Hospital, part of the Taranaki District Health Board.
The Midland Clinical Portal went live in July 2017 and provides a single point of access for patients' clinical information from across the Midland region – Bay of Plenty, Lakes, Hauora Tairāwhiti, Taranaki and Waikato DHBs.
This means a clinician involved in a patient's care at one hospital can see the care they received at another.
Rural hospital doctor Hannah Lawn
Dr Lawn says being able to access patients' medical records from anywhere in the Midland Region is really useful.
"It has been very helpful for treating any cardiac patients that come to ED. I can easily access all their medical records, look at echocardiogram results and see notes from other hospitals," she says.
"Information is right at your fingertips. Prior to the portal I had to phone patients' GPs, or another hospital to get copies of their medical records. I can access discharge summaries and immediately have up-to-date information in real time – this really helps my decision making."
As of September 2018, more than 2.8 million clinical documents are visible to health professionals involved in a patient's care across the five DHBs connected to the portal.
The top six documents being viewed are; discharge summaries, letters, interventions and procedures, referrals, assessments and progress notes.
There are more than 4300 active users across the region, which covers more than 770,000 patients.
In the next phase of the project, due to begin in mid-2019, clinicians will be able to write directly into the system. Access will also be extended to community health providers, such as GPs.

Demetrius and the Gladiators is een Amerikaanse film van Delmer Daves die werd uitgebracht in 1954.

De film is een sequel van The Robe (1953). Net zoals zijn scenario voor The Robe is het scenario van Philip Dunne gebaseerd op de personages die Lloyd C. Douglas voor zijn historische roman The Robe (1942) bedacht.

Verhaal

Marcellus Gallio is de Romeinse tribunus militum die door Pontius Pilatus werd gelast met de kruisiging van Christus. Hij heeft het kleed van Christus gewonnen bij het dobbelen.

Vooraleer Marcellus en Diana, zijn vrouw, die omwille van hun geloof ter dood veroordeeld zijn, geëxecuteerd worden slaagt Diana er nog in het kleed via hun knecht aan Petrus toe te vertrouwen. Petrus overhandigt het kleed aan Demetrius, een bekeerde ex-slaaf van Marcellus.

De waanzinnige keizer Caligula is ook geïnteresseerd geraakt in het gewaad omdat hij vernomen heeft dat er magische krachten van uitgaan. Demetrius wil per se beletten dat het kledingstuk in de handen van Caligula valt. Hij wordt echter gearresteerd. Men wil een gladiator van hem maken. In de arena wordt hij opgemerkt door Valeria Messalina, de vrouw van Caligula's oom Claudius I.

East Millinocket leaders hope to set mill buyers' tax rate

The Millinocket paper mill sits idle in March. Maine Gov. Paul LePage announced Tuesday that a buyer had come forward for the two Katahdin mills. Town leaders hope to settle a property tax deal with the potential buyer late next week after meeting with town attorneys, they said Wednesday.

EAST MILLINOCKET, Maine — Town leaders hope to settle a property tax deal with a potential buyer of the two Katahdin region paper mills late next week after meeting with town attorneys, they said Wednesday.
Board of Selectmen Chairman Mark Scally said he doesn't expect residents would have difficulty accepting the possible tax deal with Cate Street Capital of Portsmouth, N.H., the details of which he could not yet divulge because of confidentiality agreements.
"I think these guys [Cate Street] are straight shooters and the offers on the table are fair. If we can bring this deal about, people will be happy with the outcome," Scally said Wednesday. "The Meriturn offer was drastic, almost Machiavellian, and this one is fair.
"It does call for sacrifice," Scally added. "I really feel that taxwise, it is not going to hurt us."
Cate Street Capital is the second, after Meriturn Partners of San Francisco, to sign an intent-to-purchase agreement with Brookfield Asset Management of Toronto to buy the Brookfield mills in Millinocket and East Millinocket.
Meriturn walked away from the deal in late April after seeking $48 million in property tax adjustments from the two towns over 10 years.
Gov. Paul LePage's office announced on Tuesday that Cate Street had signed an asset purchase agreement for the mills for an undisclosed price. The closure of the deal could come as early as mid-September, state officials said.
State officials are hopeful that if all goes well, as many as 500 workers eventually could be employed in East Millinocket and Millinocket. As many as 200 East Millinocket papermakers could return to work as early as mid-October, with market conditions and the Millinocket mill's state of readiness determining when that mill might restart, they said.
All terms of the agreement were not immediately available, but Cate Street said in a statement Tuesday that it has been "studying the mills' feasibility for months" and has about 30 days to meet several conditions for the deal to proceed.
Cate Street and state economic development officials warned that meeting the many conditions, which include tax deals and union contracts, would be challenging and call for sacrifices.
A Cate Street spokesman declined comment on Wednesday and the company's senior vice president, Richard Cyr, did not return messages left on Tuesday and Wednesday. Union officials have declined to comment on the Cate Street offer.
Millinocket's Town Council will meet on Sept. 13 to discuss Cate Street's offer, among other things. The council's Sept. 8 meeting is postponed because Town Manager Eugene Conlogue will be absent, Chairman John Davis said.
East Millinocket's selectmen would meet in executive session with the town's attorneys negotiating the tax deal at 9:15 a.m. Tuesday if the attorneys finish paperwork required for the meeting, town Administrative Assistant Shirley Tapley said. If they cannot finish the work, the session could be delayed.
Mindful of the 30-day deadline, town leaders want to complete their work on the tax deal as quickly as prudence permits, Scally said.
"There's no reason we could not have a deal by the end of the week," Scally said, referring to Friday, Sept. 9. "We understand the urgency of this and we are working as fast as we can."
Since the Main Street mill's closure on April 1, the Katahdin region has had an astronomical unemployment rate of almost 22 percent. The Millinocket mill closed in September 2008, idling as many as 175 workers, reportedly because of its expensive need for oil to fuel burners critical to the papermaking process.
The region consists of about 7,000 people on the southern side of Mount Katahdin in northern Penobscot County, mostly in the towns of East Millinocket, Medway, Millinocket and Woodville.
The Millinocket mill would use liquefied natural gas — not oil, as reported Tuesday — to fuel its burners until natural gas lines are installed, said Adrienne Bennett, LePage's spokeswoman. The installation of the natural gas lines is expected to occur within two years.
The LePage administration has pledged to help Cate Street install the lines, which could significantly broaden the region's industrial potential. Exactly how much the installation would cost, and who would pay, has not been revealed.
East Millinocket and Millinocket leaders, who have been discussing the potential tax deals with their attorneys or with Cate Street officials for about a month, have had to make severe cuts to their town governments because of revaluations of the mills.
The cuts have included layoffs and significant service reductions. In East Millinocket, a school was closed, transfer station hours cut in half, the town office closed on Thursdays and several town workers lost their jobs.
"Working with Meriturn did force us to take a good strong look at ourselves and ask, 'If we had to, what could we do without?' I am not saying that it was for the good, as there were good people doing a good job that lost their jobs, but it did force us to tighten our belts," Scally said. "They were good people and when we had to let them go, we lost our dearest blood, but the people [residents] are picking up the slack."

On September 24, 2016, my sons and I set foot into the small, unassuming town of Linden, Tennessee. In doing so, we magically stepped back a period of seventy-two years. We had entered into the year 1944. During our time-travel voyage, the boys and I experienced a taste of life as it was in both Europe and on the homefront during that momentous period of history. There were war bonds to buy. Food was rationed at the markets. Air raid sirens cracked the morning calm and the threat of an enemy attack was at the forefront of everybody's mind. We were suddenly caught up in the largest event ever recorded by history – we had entered into a world at war.
Newsboys take to the streets heralding the story of impeding doom.
We began Remembering WWII, not to glorify war or advocate a return to "the good old days", but to cast a vision of the future by helping our generation understand the lessons of the past.
Remembering WWII is a festival like no other I've ever experienced. It was nostalgic, patriotic, and unapologetically American. Remembering WWII was as educational as it was entertaining. The atmosphere was somber at times, while cheerful at others. If there was one thing about this festival I believe everybody would agree on, it's that Remembering WWII was a whole lot of star-spangled fun! There were realistic battle reenactments on the streets and propeller warplanes zooming overhead. There was great music as big bands played on stage and a talented sister-trio belted out the hits of WWII. There was food, vendors, and fireworks. There were even vintage military vehicle rides for the kids.
The thing about this festival that had the most profound impact on me was the one thing that is soon to be no more. Some of the last remaining heroes of WWII attended this event. They are what's left of America's "greatest generation" and it is them I am obliged to honor and cherish. I shook the hand of Clinton Riddle and Don Jakeway of the 82nd Airborne Division. These two paratroopers landed in Normandy and fought their way through the horrors of war in a D-Day invasion. My two sons listened in as Jerry Neal spoke of dropping bombs over an occupied France only to barely survive a crash landing in the English Channel. I heard the courageous tales of many of these men and I remembered. I remembered my own departed grandfather who humbly served our country as a Higgins boat sailor in the raging waters of the Pacific. I thought of my other grandfather, a marine who carried his saxophone onto Japanese occupied islands. My grandfathers' days are no more; but in a way, their spirits still live on in these survivors. Their memory immortalized by this event in Linden, Tennessee.

Mr. Neal is a veteran of Operation Overlord (D-Day). Upon returning from the skies over Normandy, he and his crew ran out of fuel and crash landed in the English Channel.
Romance was alive on the streets, even in the midst of war.
Don't they look dandy! Those victory curls are all the rage!
Window dressing in the shops of Linden, Tennessee.
Every parade needs a fire truck!
What better way to seize the day than by bicycle.

There's no fear in these boys' hearts! These heroes of heroes have seen firsthand how this one plays out!

A solitary troop loads ammo into magazines.
Let's get these tanks rolling!
Some of these German boys look pretty well fed!

People around here will always stand for Old Glory!
A proud American standing tall!
German troops storming into Normandy.
A fiery scene envelops before us.
Bodies of the dead litter the streets.
The courthouse becomes enveloped in dark smoke.
Our liberators carried by Jeep.
Keep your head down! Keep calm and carry on!
Was I really in France or was I still in Tennessee? I don't know, but things sure did get hairy when those Germans came storming into town. Their tanks and machine guns were something fierce and at one point I thought we were all goners for sure! Thank God for our American and British fighting men, and let's not forget the French resistance fighters too. We gave those Krauts hell, and in the end we routed them from our friendly little town.
All that fighting makes a guy hungry. What's this about an evening dinner and a USO styled show?
Help sink boats, buy Victory Floats!
Before loading up and heading back home, the boys and I attended the outdoor dinner and a portion of the USO-style music show. Of course, the food and entertainment was phenomenal. It tasted like victory… and who amongst us can resist the creamy sweetness of a victory float?
In closing I would like to thank the entire community of Linden , Tennessee. I would like to thank them, not just for the adventure of it all, but for the important life lessons this event taught my own two kids. In remembering the courage and sacrifice of those that went before us, we might strive to better appreciate the freedoms so many of us in this country take for granted. To sum up the true spirit of Remembering WWII, it is this: We, as Americans, should be careful not to forget those lessons from history; to forget is to chance repeating the mistakes of the past.

In Defense of Janet Jenkins, Lesbian Mom
Posted on April 23rd, 2008
by Glenn Sacks in All News
According to Virginia Supreme Court to Weigh in on Lesbian Couple's Custody Battle (CNSNews.com, April 15, 2008):
"The Virginia Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Thursday in a case involving a lesbian couple fighting over who gets full custody of a five-year-old girl. Janet Jenkins, former partner of Lisa Miller, is suing for custody of Miller's biological daughter even though Jenkins is not an adoptive or biological parent.
"Jenkins and Miller (pictured with their baby) entered into a Vermont civil union in 2000 while living in Virginia. Miller got pregnant through artificial insemination from an anonymous donor and gave birth to her daughter in Virginia. The relationship eventually ended."
I've covered this case on numerous occasions. After their breakup, Miller, the biological mother, moved to Virginia with their daughter Isabella, won sole custody, and excluded Jenkins from the girl's life. Miller's actions read like a checklist of what heterosexual women sometimes do to the fathers of their children, including: move the child far away; deny the noncustodial parent the opportunity to visit or co-parent the child; make an unsupported, dubious and oh-so-convenient accusation of abuse against the noncustodial parent; and pretend that the noncustodial parent is out-of-line or acting against the child's best interests by wanting to continue the relationship with the child.
In my co-authored column, Ruling in Vermont Same-Sex Child Custody Case: Lesbian Moms, Divorced Dads in Same Boat (Rutland Herald & various others, 12/10/06), I supported lesbian social mom Janet Jenkins in her struggle to remain a part of her daughter's life. I wrote:
"In a highly-publicized new decision, a Virginia appeals court ruled recently in favor of a lesbian social/non-biological mother in her custody battle against her child's biological mother. The former couple, Lisa Miller and Janet Jenkins, joined in a same-sex civil union in Vermont in 2000 and had a child together in 2002. After their breakup, Miller, the biological mother, moved to Virginia with their daughter Isabella, won sole custody, and excluded Jenkins from the girl's life.
"Opponents of gay marriage, gay activists and the media have focused almost exclusively on the new decision's impact on same-sex marriage. Lost in this, however, is the fact that the case is a textbook example of one of America's greatest social problems—the refusal of many divorcing mothers to allow their children to continue to have a relationship with their former spouses.
"During Jenkins' and Miller's same sex-union Jenkins did everything she could do to be a good parent to their child. She was involved with the pregnancy from the beginning, was present in the delivery room, worked to support the family, and played an important role in Isabella's life. Following their breakup she was granted visitation rights but Miller refused to comply. After the new ruling, Miller's side vowed to further appeal the case to deny Jenkins access to the girl. Miller says she does not want Jenkins to have any visitation rights, and has not allowed her to see their daughter since 2004.
"Increasingly, other lesbian social mothers are suffering similar injustices. For example, in the A.H. v. M.P. case currently before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, the trial court ruled against A.H., a lesbian social mother, who had been the primary breadwinner for her partner M.P. and their young son. After separation M.P. sought to minimize A.H.'s role in the boy's life, arguing that since A.H. was not the child's primary caregiver, she should not receive joint custody of the boy…
"The problems heterosexual mothers create for their children and their ex-partners have been largely ignored, partly due to misleading stereotypes of abusive and/or 'deadbeat' fathers. Today fit, loving, lesbian social mothers like Jenkins and A.H. and their children face similar mistreatment. Ladies, welcome to the club."

The ouni (苧うに) is a yōkai depicted in the Gazu Hyakki Yagyō by Toriyama Sekien.

It is a yōkai with a face like that of a demon woman (kijo) torn from mouth to ear, and its entire body is covered in hair. There is no explanatory text from Sekien, so it is unclear what kind of yōkai this is. The "o" (苧) in "ouni" refers to the ramie plant or to bundles of string made from ramie, hemp, among others, so it is said that Sekien gave it the name "ouni" because it conjures up the image of a yōkai with head and body hair made of layers of this "o".

In the Hyakkai Zukan (1737, Sawaki Suushi), a yōkai emaki from the Edo period, it is given by the name "wauwau", and Edo period yōkai emaki would usually present it under that name. However, these presentations consisted of pictures, so it is not known what characteristics they had. In another instance, there is a drawing in the Hyakki Yagyō Emaki (Oda Gōchō, 1832) from after Sekien's era where it is depicted under the title of "uwan uwan", and it is thought that likewise the ouni is a yōkai that Sekien drew while referring to earlier emaki.

Explanatory text starting in Heisei
There are no folk legends or records that are clearly about the ouni (or the "wauwau" based on Sekien's), so it is presently not clear what kind of yōkai they were intending to depict, but starting in the Heisei period, inferring from how there are many tales that seem highly related to the previous "o" and the yamauba, there have started to be many illustrated references, books, and other publications that suppose that these are yamauba who assisted in the making of threads and were taken in under the name "ouni", which would mean that the ouni is a type of yamauba. There are many areas with tales about yamauba who would make threads from o (苧), but the following example is from Kotaki, Nishikubiki, Echigo Province (now Itoigawa, Niigata Prefecture).

There was a gathering of women who were spinning some bundles of strings with hemp, when a yamauba appeared and said "I'll also spin some" and started to help along. The yamauba bit the hemp and drew out strings and then spun bundles of string at a speed unbelievable for humans. After finishing the assistance, the yamauba left the house. The women tried to follow, but the yamauba abruptly disappeared.

Before the proliferation of the idea that yamauba were related, they were often given the explanation that they would attack and eat people who come for a drink at a mountain stream. This can be said to be due to the picture drawn by Sekien.

Landscape Systems is proud to offer you high quality retaining walls that will be both aesthetic and functional. Retaining walls need to be done right, and we know how to build them so they last. Our Laguna Niguel retaining wall�contractors will build a solid and functional retaining wall that will hold your dirt in and create a lovely display of your beautiful plants all year around.
A retaining wall is a structure made of concrete both in blocks and poured, rocks, boulders or in timbers which are treated. Concrete retaining walls are the walls that you may see in some multi-levelled yards and may be used to keep soil and plants intact from sliding into the next level. Before having a retaining wall built, we will need to know whether your ground will be level or at a slope, what height you would need. One of our OC retaining wall experts and licensed consultants can help answer these questions for you.
There are two types of retaining walls. Depending on what your soil is like, and how your yard is structured, we may suggest you obtain a geo-grid reinforced wall or a gravity wall. A geo-grid wall is a grid reinforced wall and offers a very stable and durable wall structure that is often used in tall walls. A gravity wall on the other hand is a simple heavy block structure that relies on its weight. If your yard has limited space or other conditions, you may need a gravity wall along with special nails, anchors and concrete to hold it in place. Retaining walls come in different sizes, shapes, colours and materials – like stones, rocks, bricks, treated timbers etc. We will help you pick one that will do wonders for your yard. Our Laguna Niguel retaining wall professionals will help you choose the perfect retaining wall for your property.

How I Became a Slow Fish
By Colles StowellFebruary 28, 2018October 20th, 2021No Comments
While planning some events for Slow Fish 2018 (April 14-16 in San Francisco), I wondered how I became steeped in Slow Fish and the idea of seafood sustainability.
I'm a journalist by trade. I started at a small town daily that required rushing to the scene of a fire, car accident or a moose running loose downtown to prove to editors we were at the scene. After 12 years of crappy pay, frayed nerves and some lifetime friendships, I jumped ship and spent a decade writing about hardware and software at a PR agency representing companies like IBM and Nokia.
I learned much in both of those jobs: How to uncover the hidden story, and how to tell it in a fashion that makes sense to a broader audience.
I backed into writing about fisheries and seafood issues after re-vamping the website of a San Diego-based sustainable fisheries apparel company in 2011. The more I learned about the complexities of fisheries policy, market dynamics, climate change and ecological impacts of different harvest and aquaculture methods, the more I wanted to know and share. A New Orleans native, I grew up with fresh local seafood all around me.
Pampano! It's what was for dinner.
So in 2015, I started One Fish Foundation, a non-profit whose mission is to bring the sustainable seafood message into communities and classrooms from kindergarten through college.
Some people bristle at "sustainable seafood" as a meaningless cliché. I get it. "Sustainable" has been green-washed to the point of abstraction. And yet, I've not come across a term that is as concise and generally widely understood on first reference.
The people I'm trying to reach when I'm talking about the perils of industrial finfish aquaculture or climate impacts on different marine species aren't necessarily those who would react to "sustainable."
I seek the people who go into their local grocery store and buy frozen, pre-cooked and peeled shrimp without knowing it came from Thailand. I want to talk to those who buy farmed salmon from Chile out of habit because it is cheap, and supposedly "healthy" salmon.
Lobster take-out building. Yes, they walk in and out to feed as they please. It's just the saps who happen to be in the trap that get caught.
I remember making a poignant connection in one of my first classroom visits. It was a 6th grade geography class I'd visited two weeks before, and we'd talked about why students should care about where, how and by whom their seafood was harvested. We'd rehearsed key questions to ask when they were at a restaurant or grocery store.
At the outset of the follow-up class, one girl said she stopped her mom from ordering shrimp at a restaurant because it was from Vietnam.
I felt like I'd hit a home run.
Perhaps that's at the heart of why I'm so deeply connected with Slow Fish. Most people nod their heads when they learn that 90% of the seafood we eat in this country is imported. But they shudder to learn that a staggering amount of that seafood is coming from countries that pound their products with hormones to make them grow fast or antibiotics to fight disease.
We won't change that import dynamic without many frank conversations. The Slow Fish mission to ensure everyone has access to good, clean and fair seafood is at the core of these conversations. When I'm talking to a large group of people, I ask them why they think that 90% figure persists. They mention price, policy and complex market dynamics. All of these are key drivers.
Anyone who loves seafood and cares about the resource and the fishermen who harvest it sustainably can be part of the Slow Fish movement. Photo: Kate Masury at Slow Food Nations, Denver, July 2017
But I think another critical factor is habit. Consumer habit drives the equation because people buy what is cheap without checking the provenance of the food they eat. Policy habit also plays a role. There seems to be no urgency to fix policy that allows cheap foreign imports to flood U.S. markets, while a big chunk of domestically harvested seafood goes offshore for astronomical prices.
And the disconnect continues.
The Slow Fish San Francisco mission
Slow Fish aims to change that. While combating inequities in the system that often favor concentrating power and influence in the hands of a few big fishing operations, we also highlight the successes of small-scale operations to bring local, responsibly harvested seafood to their communities and beyond. We encourage people and groups to collaborate on complex issues.
Witness the fierce opposition to the proposed Pebble Mine at the headwaters of the world's most significant wild salmon run in Bristol Bay, Alaska. But for the persistent collaboration between commercial, recreational and indigenous fishermen, along with advocates and regional politicians, that copper mine would already be up and running. (Check out the We Are Bristol Bay fundraiser dinner at Slow Fish San Francisco on April 15 to eat delicious wild sockeye salmon and talk to the fishermen who may have caught it and learn about why opposing the mine matters.)
Dinner and conversation give attendees the chance to engage in the seafood issues that matter. A similar scene will take place on April 15 in San Francisco at the We are Bristol Bay Dinner.
This is just one of the topics we'll cover at Slow Fish San Francisco April 14-16. We'll talk about the graying of the fleet and innovative ways to attract and support more young fishermen into the profession. We'll talk about women in fisheries, how to support artisanal fisheries and explore a new mission to reduce domestic seafood imports from 90% to 50% by 2050.
And we'll have an interactive group discussion on Slow Fish 101, discussing what Slow Fish is and does, what its values are, and how we can grow the network. As the Slow Fish network expands, we fuel collaboration and innovation to solve some of the challenges we face in ensuring good, clean and fair seafood for all.
Come join us! Learn about why you should care, and what you can do to help affect positive change. Here is a link to the Slow Fish website where you'll find tickets, a schedule and more information about why you'll want to attend.
"Colles did a great job engaging the students and involving them in the conversation around sustainable seafood choices. Students commented that his presentation was "eye-opening" and caused them to think about the seafood choices they make, whether at the grocery store or their favorite sushi restaurant. They especially loved the "hands-on" aspect of his presentation, getting familiar with local crabs. Highly recommend!"
— Beverly Robinson, 12th grade Marine Sciences teacher, Portland (ME) High School

This month the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Samsung that relates to an electronic device such as their Galaxy Note having an automatically ejectable input touch pen system. What's unique about this invention is that the pen could stay locked into the smartphone and only released until the user provides a special voice command and/or gesture. Although the patent is extremely technical, we've simplified it to get to the heart of this smartphone feature quickly.
Jumping right into the patent we're able to see Samsung's FIG. 6 below which is an internal view of an electronic device, such as a Galaxy Note, as the touch pen is being automatically ejected.
According to Samsung, the Galaxy Note (electronic device) will be able to sense an automatic ejection event and supplies power to the first electromagnet #1401. When power is supplied, the first electromagnet may push the magnet #1101 having the same polarity toward the pen hole by repulsion.
The second electromagnet #1402 noted above having a different polarity may pull the magnet #1101 by attraction. Thus, the magnet of the touch pen may move from a location at which the first electromagnet #1401 is located, to a location at which the second electromagnet #1402 is located, and as a result, the touch pen may be ejected from the Galaxy Note (or electronic device) according to the distance between the first electromagnet #1401 and the second electromagnet #1402.
According to an embodiment, the outputted related information about the pen being ejected may include at least one of visual information through a display module, auditory information using an alarm, tactile information using vibration, and any other similar information providing notification to the user.
Samsung's patent FIG. 9 below presents a flowchart for ejecting a touch pen of an electronic device and FIG. 10 shows how a message is displayed on an electronic device when a touch pen of an electronic device is not completely ejected.
Samsung's patent FIG. 5 noted below relates to the Pen's locking mechanism. The electronic device may include a locker mechanism #150 that is arranged in the electronic device. An end of the locker is formed as a protrusion having a hook shape and may be arranged to overlap with the pen guide path.
The protrusion of the locker may be engaged with a groove #1102 formed in the body of the pen as noted in #11 below. Even if the touch pen is completely inserted into the electronic device and confined by the locker, the touch pen would be able to be free from the confinement related force applied by the locker when power is supplied to the electromagnets #1401 and #1402 noted in patent FIG. 6 above according to an automatic ejection mode.
What makes this invention unique from manual ejection of the pen is that the user could either use a simple "shape gesture" on the display or use a simple voice command to eject the pen.
In closing, Samsung states the following "Since it is possible to automatically eject the touch pen only with a simple manipulation and/or command, it is easy to manipulate the electronic device with one hand, and since a separate locking device for confining the touch pen isn't needed, it is possible to enhance the usage convenience of the electronic device."
Samsung filed their U.S. patent application back in Q4 2014. Considering that this is a patent application, the timing of such a product to market is unknown at this time.

Q: Simple access authorization with Lumen Trying to implement simple access authorization with Lumen. It works when doing the update (PUT) action.
But I would also like to handle accessing for example all articles.
I also tried the viewAny or view policy method but no success.
Router
$router->group(['prefix' => 'api/v1'], function () use ($router) {
    $router->get('articles',  ['uses' => 'ArticleController@showAllArticles']);
    $router->get('articles/{id}', ['uses' => 'ArticleController@showOneArticle']);
    $router->post('articles', ['uses' => 'ArticleController@create']);
    $router->delete('articles/{id}', ['uses' => 'ArticleController@delete']);
    $router->put('articles/{id}', ['uses' => 'ArticleController@update']);
});

AuthServiceProvider
class AuthServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        Gate::policy('App\Article', 'App\Policies\ArticlePolicy');

        $this->app['auth']->viaRequest('api', function ($request) {
            return app('auth')->setRequest($request)->user();
        });
    }
}

Policies
namespace App\Policies;

use App\User;
use App\Article;

class ArticlePolicy
{
    public function showAllArticles(User $user, Article $post)
    {
        // not working
        return true;
    }

    public function update(User $user, Article $post)
    {
        // this works
        return true;
    }
}

Controller
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Article;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class ArticleController extends Controller
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth:api');
    }

    public function showAllArticles()
    {
        $this->authorize('showAllArticles');
        return response()->json(Article::all());
    }

    public function showOneArticle($id)
    {
        return response()->json(Article::find($id));
    }

    public function update($id, Request $request)
    {
        $article = Article::findOrFail($id);
        $this->authorize('update', $article);
        $article->update($request->all());

        return response()->json($article, 200);
    }
}

A: As per the Laravel documentation on Authorization:

"When defining policy methods that will not receive a model instance, such as a create method, it will not receive a model instance. Instead, you should define the method as only expecting the authenticated user:"

public function create(User $user)

So:
public function showAllArticles(User $user)

"As previously discussed, some actions like create may not require a model instance. In these situations, you should pass a class name to the authorize method. The class name will be used to determine which policy to use when authorizing the action:"

$this->authorize('create', Post::class);

So:
$this->authorize('showAllArticles', Article::class);

They are related to the fact that inter alia the property costs have improved. It is indicated by the fact that according to the most crucial rule of the economy – the greater the demand is, the higher is the price. Similar tendency has highly influenced the pace of development of mining machinery, which has guaranteed the end-users with a possibility to make even more efficient use of their property and space available.
go As a result, we ought to, above all, remember that generally in all of diverse fields everything is better than in the past. This is also related to for instance underground mining equipment (www.minemaster.eu), which are these days far more trustworthy and thanks to which we can dig holes in the ground significantly more effective. Besides, owing to the fact that there is improving demand on new buildings, there are significantly more corporations in this topic.
Another important fact referred to for example improvement of mining tools is that sometimes it is obligatory to check the surface and include some corrections, above all if we would like to start a construction of higher objects like stadium.
Besides, owing to improvingly often observed move to make use of space available underground also the standards have been developed, as working underground is referred to significantly greater risk and harm to the health. Therefore, also regards mining machinery due to a variety of regulations implemented by various global organizations or governments they also had to be developed in order to assure the people working on them much more attractive conditions.
http://www.minemaster.eu/tools This fact led to improving popularity of choosing inter alia underground car parks that can be seen inter alia in more and more universities or bigger stores that have to be able to host hundreds or even thousands of people at the same time. Consequently, mining machines are increasingly regularly used and, furthermore, thanks to implementation of improvingly demanding standards in this area, they are systematically improved so that they are not that risky to the health of people as they used to be in the past. Authors: http://www.minemaster.eu/ We can be certain that for example an enterprise, which produces underground mining equipment is really likely to attract attention of the buyers all over the world.
This implies that if we would like to become successful entrepreneurs, we need to above all interest ourselves in the above presented services. For instance due to modern underground drill rigs production we are likely to attract considerably more buyers than in other areas. Nonetheless, we have to hurry up, because the competition in this field is getting bigger and bigger and it may be far more complicated to find new clients in this topic.

Home Interviews Parin. S. Shah, Director - Nine Diam
Parin. S. Shah, Director - Nine Diam
by Surendra Sharma - Dec 18, 2020
Parin S Shah the new generation of Nine Diam. Nine Diam has been in the business of diamond & Jewellery from last 2 decades and hence Parin is blessed with seniors who have rich experience in this industry.
Parin though is the director in Nine Diam but is a person with good heart and always ready to support the society in critical times such as Covid also. He goes out of the way to support anyone who is needy.
Recently he has joined as a director at Nine Diam post completing his education.
Nine Diam is a one of the best brands in the field of Diamond jewellery. In the last 20 years Nine Diam is always there works for its customers. The most important policies that Nine Diam follow is Quality, buyback price and the design.
Today in this interview we talk about the impact of COVID on diamond mining, the appetite from investors and the challenge in setting up diamond futures contracts. I learned a lot from this conversation and I'm sure you will to.
It appears that diamonds face a much more competitive marketplace in the luxury goods sector. Will it ever recover the same mystique that they had in the 20th Century?
In my opinion this will really come down to marketing. I estimate that the industry is currently spending less than half of what it was 25 years ago, due to inflation adjustment in dollars. Diamonds were always unique historically and most of them sold were "generic,". Hence it was always quoted that "A Diamond is Forever". Branded diamonds/jewellery has become much more important to consumers in recent years and I think this trend will continue, so a lot of those marketing dollars are being directed towards brands more so than selling generic diamonds. That said, all in all, relative industry marketing spend is down based on what I have seen. In addition, the luxury/consumer discretionary space has become more competitive, due to new products, tech etc.
The typical time most people ever buy a diamond is when they get engaged. Are engagement rings still the main source of demand for diamonds? If so has COVID had a big impact on that sector of the market?
Bridal represents about 1/3 to 40% of diamond demand. Gifting and self-purchases represent the balance of demand. The self-purchasing segment is the fastest growing; these ends have continued into the pandemic as far as I have seen. Although, bridal still remains strong.
Are you seeing more interest from investors looking at diamonds as an option? The concept of stock-to-flow is becoming better understood as to how scarcity imputes value. Are investors seeing diamonds in the same vein and as a potential alternative store of value to gold?
I think there has always been interest in diamonds as an investment vehicle. The lack of fungibility, i.e. there are thousands of different categories of diamonds by size, shape, colour, overall quality etc., has made liquidity difficult relative to other actively held "store of value commodities" like precious metals. In circumstances where currency debasement/inflation becomes a broader concern, like now, there is always an uptick in interest in diamonds as an investment. Most of this actual demand comes from high-net worth investors that buy the rarest, most desired stones and self-store them, as they want to own the physical asset.
Why are the share prices of diamond miners a poor proxy for diamond prices? What are the big risks that investors face and what are they missing (resource nationalism, etc.)?
The diamond miners are still a viable proxy for the diamond price in my opinion. Building a new large-scale mine is extremely expensive, think $1B+, so the independent miners tend to have a lot of debt on the balance sheet at least at the early stages of production, which puts the pressure on. Given that diamond prices have been flat to down in recent years, it has been a difficult environment especially for the miners with new mines.
What are the barriers to investing in physical diamonds? Poor liquidity, lack of price transparency and high transaction fees I'm guessing but are there other things people need to think about?
The lack of fungibility and the expertise required given that every stones is technically different.
According to DeBeers "The plain fact is that diamonds are not a commodity; they are unique." Are they correct?
I think that is more marketing parlance. Diamonds are a non-renewal natural resource, so whatever that said is allowed
Diamond futures contracts have been proposed as far as back in the early 80's. What are your thoughts on more recent attempts to make diamonds more of a 'commodity' that can more easily traded? For example GemShares, Singapore Diamond Investment Exchange, Indian Commodity Exchange and then recent 'blockchain' ideas.
I think there is demand for a product that allows diamonds to trade as a commodity, which would be used by industry participants, financers to the industry, for accounting/marketing purposes, hedging etc. But again, fungibility has been the biggest challenge here.
Where can investors find out more on what is happening in the diamond market, e.g. Rapaport, IDEX and http://Polishedprices.com
This is a very niche industry but it is also an industry with some really good specialty news coverage, consultants, analysts etc. as you mention.
Do you see diamond miners becoming more vertically integrated, i.e. capturing value from the retail end, either online or through luxury brands?
Yes, I do think this could make sense, especially from a supply-chain transparency standpoint. For example, Tiffany can track their diamonds through the whole supply chain without external interference and thus can provide customers with a whole history of where a diamond has been. That said, I think the industry has not seen more of this given the expertise required at each stage of the supply chain: miners are good miners, manufacturers are good cutters/polishers, retails are good at merchandizing and branding.
Has the diamond business become more transparent? Blood diamonds of course, but is there more that has or can be done to improve transparency and sustainability?
Yes, absolutely and even more transparency is on the way, i.e. see the aforementioned Tiffany example. Also, majority of global diamond production is done by large commercial, publicly traded companies, so there is transparency required by financial regulators etc.
Are lab grown diamonds becoming more popular with consumers due to transparency concerns?
Transparency is certainly something customers are looking for, that said, most lab-diamonds are produced in China or India, so the supply chain is still globally diverse and there isn't always the transparency you would hope for. But there are certainly countries like U.S., for example, that do all the processing domestically to keep their product as transparent as possible, and this is probably a viable business model. All of this said, from what I have seen, most customers that are choosing lab-diamonds over natural diamonds are doing so because they are a lot cheaper and this is the biggest reason that drives consumers' minds. Then the question becomes is the customer buying "fine jewellery" or "fashion jewellery" when they purchase a lab-diamond –and how will this impact their purchasing decision?
Is the diamond industry facing any supply-side constraints due to COVID? For example is its spread in India affecting polishing or have any mines had to stop/curtail operations?
Yes, the industry is currently going through the biggest supply constraint since the global financial crisis –in both mining and manufacturing. The effect is so significant, that I estimate global diamond production will be the lowest it has been since the 1990's this year.
In the past the diamond mining business was characterised as monopoly controlled. De Beers no longer controls the sector in the same way that it did in the past. How would you describe the structure of the diamond mining business and what should investors be paying attention to?
It's more of an oligopoly now in my opinion. The two major miners produce as much as 2/3 of global supply. That said, the industry structure change has led to more volatility in prices as many rough diamonds are now sold on tender or at auction in which price is more of a reflection of market dynamics.
What are the most misunderstood aspects of the diamond industry?
I think the resilience. The industry has been through so much and most people, at least in the Western world, still want a diamond when they get engaged. Diamonds are unique in that they are one of the few luxury items that most women will receive in their life at one point or another. The industry is now seeing this trend shift to China and southeast Asia, which I think shows how much diamonds resonate with the human consumer.

I grew up in Fremont, Ohio and arrived in Mansfield in 1983 to work at Hartman Electrical. My wife and I married over 30 years ago and have lived in the first ward since 2001.
In 2007, I started a Neighborhood Watch group after several area break-ins. Over 80 people showed up and the break-ins stopped. Today the meeting still draws 30 to 40 people and newsletters are emailed to over 200. During my time running the watch group, I met Councilman Mike Hill, many police officers, two Police Chiefs, two city law directors, safety service directors, engineers with codes and permits and city engineers.
I found residents wanted someone to talk to and help them navigate city government with their issues and concerns. I found myself filling this role.
I have always reached out to my neighbors to help and often that help would involve getting information and assisting in solving problems including many public service concerns i.e. speeding in the neighborhoods, drug dealers, break-ins, stolen cars, arson, self-defense, gun laws, how and when to report a crime, hardening your home and much more. When people had questions I tracked down answers. Running for office and now representing the first ward is a logical extension and next step of service to my neighbors.


Damage to your property presents so much for you to handle. You will have to turn to damage restoration services when facing cases like water damage, fire and smoke damage, the effects of mold, as well as trauma and crime scene cleanup needs. The fact that your property could be getting damaged even further means you need to get this problem sorted out fast. You need to make sure you are dealing with experts who shall assess how far the damage has gone, and what needs to be done to prevent any further damage.
There is a need to work with Saratoga Springs renovations who is well trained and certified cleaning professionals. They should know how to handle different scenarios where their expertise is required. They have to be ready for the work involved, whether minimal or major.

There is nothing to be gained by going for the cheapest. You will pay dearly for it in no time. You need to think of the services offered, and their suitability to your situation. Considering the cost too much shall leave you with unsatisfactory work done.
There is also the reliance on references in this process. If you are dealing with an established company that has excellent service records, you shall not have a hard time getting references. Your neighbors may be the first people you approach for these references. They should tell you what it was like working with that company. Such details shall make it easier and faster for you to find the right services for your needs. It is important to verify everything they tell you about the chosen company.
You shall be greatly relieved once you find the right service provider or your needs. Restoration from such damage should be done right, if you are to end up with a habitable house.
