All eight 2015/16 Big Bash League teams in single figure odds
October 20, 2015 3:06 am. by Staff Writer
THIS is about as wide open as it gets.
The KFC T20 Big Bash League kicks off on December 17 and every single team is in single figure odds at WilliamHill.com.au.
That's right, eight teams and the longest shot is the the Brisbane Heat at $9.
The Melbourne Stars are favoured to win it all at $4.75, ahead of the Perth Scorchers at $5.50, while both the Hobart Hurricanes and the red side of Melbourne, the Renegades, are $6.50.
But clearly, the punters have no real idea at this early juncture.
The Stars are favourite for a reason. They're led by ageing master blaster David Hussey, who has nearly 6000 runs in T20 competitions, placing him in the top five of all time.
Hussey averages 30 in the Big Bash, but there's an even bigger fish in the ridiculously talented Englishman Kevin Pietersen.
Any one who has seen the video floating around of KP whacking straight drive sixes blindfolded will know that this guy is one of the all time greats. That footwork is just dreamy and it will be a key to how the Stars finish.
And if those two boys don't get you, then The Big Show Glenn Maxwell probably will. Those are three of the finest T20 batsmen in world cricket and they are joined by English gun Luke Wright, who is a brilliant striker of the ball
Throw in a bowling attack of John Hastings, Ben Hilfenhaus, Marcus Stionis and gun all rounder James Faulkner and you have a recipe for success.
Faulkner will be Hussey's vice captain and the latter says he doesn't want the side to end up bowing out in the semi finals for the fifth season in a row, like it did against the Perth Scorchers last year.
"It's an interesting decision by the Melbourne Stars," Hussey said.
"James Faulkner's going to be the vice captain and he's going to be a great person to bounce ideas off.
"I'm really focused on helping the Melbourne Stars.
"I want to win some silverware
"It is frustrating.
"We've been semi finalists every year since the inception of the competition."
But they've never made it to the big dance.
And they might have even had former Australian captain Michael Clarke to add to that already imposing line up.
But the just retired legend of the game has decided to take a break, rather than play in the short form competition over Christmas and New Years.
"I think with all the emotion over the last 10 months or so, I felt now was the right time to have some meaningful time away from the game and focus on the next exciting phase of my life, which will include the birth of our first child," Clarke said of his decision.
"I have made this decision now, as I didn't want to let the Stars down if I wasn't 100 per cent committed to playing.
"I will reassess everything cricket related sometime in the new year.
"The Stars have been particularly supportive of me and I'm sure I will be involved with this fantastic club in some capacity in the future."
The Scorchers, who won last year's incarnation by defeating the Sydney Sixers ($8), have played in every single final of the Big Bash League and taken home the title twice.
They possess a litany of big hitting batsmen, each capable of plundering a massive score off very few balls.
None are better than opener and the tournament's highest scoring batsman last year, Michael Klinger, who plundered 326 runs last campaign.
The captain Adam Voges has had some success at international level and will bring that recent top line experience to his already considerable talent.
Lightning quicks Jason Behrendorff and Nathan Coulter-Nile will enjoy support from spinners Ashton Agar and Brad Hogg, who has signed on for yet another year at the ripe old age of 88 (44).
The evergreen Hogg still has a thirst for it and reckons he will play for as long as his body allows it.
"That's the beauty of age – you know your strengths and don't take yourself too seriously," Hogg said.
"I said I'd play as long as I still have something to contribute and as long as my ageing body doesn't let the team down, so it's a year by year thing for me at nearly 45.
"Thankfully, the body is holding up, I'm feeling as fit as ever, so I'm thrilled to be back for the fifth year of BBL."
The next big Pommy thing in David Willey has also signed on to play, instead of joining the English Lions.
Scorchers coach Justin Langer said the big hitting Willey, who in 2015 opened both the bowling and batting in T20 cricket at Northamptonshire, was a "really good package".
"David Willey is an up and coming, hungry, hard-working young player who will hopefully provide with some power hitting in the middle overs," Langer said.
"He offers left arm swing bowling and has showed how well he can do that against the Australians in the one-dayers a few months ago.
"He's also a gun fielder and is renowned for his work ethic and character.
"On some of the other grounds, he might be a power hitter we can use up the front of the innings as well.
"It's a really good package."
The Hurricanes are a popular pick every season, but failed to even make it to the finals, despite being one of the favourites last season.
And there will be a bit of a changing of the guard in Hobart, with gun wicket keeper batsman Tim Paine set to take over the captaincy by Australiain gun George Bailey.
Bailey has stood down due to national duty and his 30 year old successor, who has played four Tests for Australia, is ready to step up to the challenge.
"I'm happy to be leading the boys in purple in BBL 05 and I can't wait for the team to come together in December in the build up to the tournament," Paine said.
"We have a really strong team and we are keen to put on a show for members and fans."
Bailey should get a few games in throughout the season, but reckons the team is in safe hands with Paine.
"Tim is extremely capable and ready to lead the Hurricanes," Bailey said.
"We have worked closely over a number of years and he is going to be a great leader of our team." Sri Lankan living legend Kumar Sangakkarra makes them a contender alone, while lightning fast tower of power Shaun Tait will lead a bowling attack that features multi talented West Indian Darren Sammy.
And the Renegades have a pair of spin twins to join West Indians Dwayne Bravo and Chris Gayle to lead their charge.
Nathan Hauritz and Xavier Doherty will bring international experience to a side that lost Fawad Ahmed, but has re-signed fast man James Pattinson to a three year contract extension.
Renegades head coach David Saker said Hauritz and Doherty would provide a potent spinning attack on the turning Etihad Stadium wicket.
"The combination of having Nathan and Xavier Doherty as the right and left arm spinners was something we think can work for us this season – particularly at Etihad Stadium," Saker said. "Nathan brings years of experience to the side and he'll be an important influence around the group."

Make sure your surfing is safe and anonymous with a VPN solution like UltraVPN.
This virtual private network (VPN) is based on OpenVPN and, like other VPN clients, your network connection so that others can't identify who - or where - you are. Although you have to sign up to use the service, it's free and doesn't require an email address.
Once you have signed up to UltraVPN, you'll get a username and password to log in. That's all you need to do, as the program will automatically connect and assign you a new, anonymous IP address. There are a few configuration options that you can choose to investigate - for instance, you'll be able to set the proxy server to use OpenVPN's settings, Internet Explorer's or manual (HTTP or SOCKS) - but you don't actually have to make any changes to use UltraVPN.
Once you are connected to UltraVPN, you can surf as usual, although you might find it a little slow. Unfortunately, we also had problems accessing Hulu.com and the BBC's iPlayer. As overcoming geographically-based limitations is one of the main reasons many people use a VPN, you'll just have to download UltraVPN to see if it is going to meet your particular needs.
In general, though, UltraVPN program is extremely easy to use and its IP anonymization worked well, so if it gives you access to the sites you want, UltraVPN is a good choice.
If it works with your favorite websites, UltraVPN is a great VPN solution.
Ultra VPN was reviewed by BestVPNReviews - 2 stars only. UltraVPN provides a free OpenVPN with the standard off the shelf Open source configuration. The protocol is enabled by the OS of your computer as UltraVPN does not provide any software of its own so it's not user friendly. UltraVPN has a tiny network of servers (France and USA) with no server switching and one IP!
The recent enforcement of the French Law Hadopi has internet users deeply concerned as to how to comply with the law and not be spied on by the French government. The parent company of UltraVPN, Lynanda, is a French company that creates software to log and report Skype traffic for corporations and governments (dictatorships). Lynanda writes it provides "A universal software able to detect and filter Skype and P2P traffic". The French Law is clearly at odds with UltraVPN and it's odd that Lynanda would be in such a business unless they were already compliant with French Law. There is something amiss here and we think that Lynanda is providing this free service for a price. The price may be that your data goes to the French government (who share everything with the Americans or vice versa as they only have a server in the USA). I would stay away from this one.
• Does not protect your originating IP if the internet connection fails. All your applications will be switched to your local IP and you may not know it – an OpenVPN problem that is fixed by the better VPN services.
• No real privacy with French servers and the enforcement of the new French laws.
• Parent company, Lynanda, makes software that is used to log and cache Skype for dictatorships worldwide.
• No server switching, if you want multiple countries, you have to buy multiple plans.
• Software standard OpenVPN with NO features and user un-friendly & inconvenient.
• No automation on start up.
• Dynamic IPs and Static IPs not available.
Most users don't know install a unknown software may be a disaster. even it's not virus, it may collect our surfing data.
I prefer PPTP VPN instead, ask your VPN provider a PPTP or L2TP account.
What do you think about UltraVPN? Do you recommend it? Why?

Et driftsherretillæg er et begreb, der figurerer i forbindelse med pensionsordninger.

Driftsherretillægget er den fortjeneste, ejerne af et pensionsselskab får for at stille sin egen kapital til rådighed, dvs. den forrentning, ejerne får af deres investering. Det kan dermed siges, at det er en betaling for den risiko, der er knyttet til investeringen.

Det er kun pensionskunder, som har deres opsparing i det traditionelle opsparinger, som betaler driftsherretillæg, mens kunder i mere sammensatte pensionsprodukter til markedsværdi, ikke fradrages denne rentemarginal.

Pensionskunder har forskellige ydelsesgarantier, nogen har 4,5 % mens andre kun 1,5 %. Risiko/driftsherretillæg i størrelsesorden 0,6% eller derover vurderes urimeligt af opsparinger, hvor kunder kun har en ydelsesgaranti på 1,5 %.

Det er blevet fremsat i artikler i dagbladet Politiken at driftsherretillæg er et gebyr som pensionsselskaberne ikke med tilstrækkelig tydelighed har gjort kunderne bekendt med.

From Vox, Julia Belluz has quite a story.
The University of Maryland issued a press release about a new study on the effects of a single brand of chocolate milk on cognitive and motor skill tests in high school athletes.
The story, as she documents, is that Fifth Quaker Fresh funded research, the scientists did some shoddy research and didn't even bother to submit it for peer review, the university made a splashy press release, and everyone goes home happy. Well, except for Integrity.
So here we have a milk manufacturer working in partnership with the University of Maryland to fund a sloppy study, and the university then blasts the results, persuading schools and the press that this milk works wonders on students' brains.
It's everything wrong with modern-day science-by-press-release in one anecdote.
I see this (as Belluz does too) as a consequence of the university as a profit-center. When said institution is a public university, the science is especially suspect, and the corporate sponsorship especially visible, then it's easy to mock. Most university scientists seem to spend their careers lurching from funding source to funding source, their jobs (and the jobs of their staff) contingent on outside money. It's structural and leads to ... well ... being told that a specific brand of chocolate milk is good for athletes.

A San Angelo man charged with homicide is back in jail less than 24 hours after making bond.
SAN ANGELO — Gabriel James Ortiz Sr., a 43-year-old San Angelo man charged with homicide earlier this week, is back in jail less than 24 hours after making bond, according to officials with the Runnels County Sheriff's Office.
On Tuesday, March 19, Ortiz was booked into Tom Green County Jail on suspicion of murder after police discovered the body of 28-year-old Ernesto Hernandez in the backyard at a residence in the 2000 block of Bailey Street.
Hernandez was shot multiple times, according to investigators with the San Angelo Police Department.
At about 5:28 p.m., Thursday, March 21, Gabriel Ortiz was released from jail on $250,000 bond, according to online court records.
"On the afternoon of March 22, the Runnels County Sheriff's Office received an arrest warrant from Tom Green County Justice Of the Peace Court Pct. 2 for Gabriel James Ortiz," according to a news release.
"The warrant indicated a charge of obstruction or retaliation a 3rd degree felony bond was set at $250,000," records state.
Runnels County Deputies and Winters PD Officers contacted Ortiz at a residence in the 300 block of Wood St. in Winters, Texas, and Ortiz was arrested without incident, according to the news release.
As of Saturday morning, March 23, Ortiz is being held in the Runnels County Jail.

Trump's Day of Prayer – The New York Times
June 3, 2019 En Sound Media Politics Comments Off on Trump's Day of Prayer – The New York Times
Hi. Welcome to On Politics, your guide to the day in national politics. I'm Lisa Lerer, your host.
[Get On Politics delivered to your inbox.]
President Trump isn't much of a churchgoer. During his time in the White House, his church visits have largely been limited to Christmas and Easter services. When asked for his favorite Bible verse during the 2016 presidential campaign, he replied that he "didn't want to get into specifics." He has a habit of autographing Bibles at campaign stops.
But Sunday was different. Surprising reporters and pastors, Mr. Trump decided to pop in for a 15-minute stop at McLean Bible Church in Northern Virginia after a round of golf that afternoon. The timing was unusual — most churches conduct Sunday services in the morning — and so was his look, which consisted of golf shoes, a baseball hat and a new slicked-back hairstyle that nabbed most of the headlines.
Aides said the president made the stop to pray for the victims of the Virginia Beach shooting. But Elizabeth Dias, The New York Times's ace national religion correspondent, alerted me to something else that was going on.
About a week ago, the evangelical leader Franklin Graham, along with several hundred Christian leaders, called for this past Sunday to be a "special day of prayer" for Mr. Trump. Vice President Mike Pence participated at Sanibel Community Church. So did the Rev. David Platt at McLean Bible Church, who said he was given barely any notice of the president's visit — and suspected it would divide his congregation.
"Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that we didn't see coming, and we're faced with a decision in a moment when we don't have the liberty of deliberation, so we do our best to glorify God," he said in a statement on the church's website. "Today, I found myself in one of those situations."
The victims of the shooting, and even the shooting itself, went unmentioned during the visit.
So what do we make of Mr. Trump's decision to find a bit of religion?
Over the past two and half years, Washington, the country and the world have had to acclimate to the unpredictable and often unpolitic style of the president. It's clear that people who want things from the White House have learned one lesson quite well: If you want to curry favor with Mr. Trump, make it about Mr. Trump.
We saw that last week, when Japanese officials rolled out the red carpet for Mr. Trump, serving cheeseburgers and even letting him award a 70-pound, eagle-topped President's Cup to the winner of a sumo wrestling match. We'll most likely see it this week during his state visit to Britain, where officials are expected to lavish him with ceremony, even as Labour Party leaders boycott the visit.
And we saw it with Mr. Trump's church visit on Sunday, which came — it's worth noting — less than a day after the president took to Twitter to thank Mr. Graham for his effort.

Environmental rollbacks
A new investigation from our Climate team found 84 environmental rules and regulations that the Trump administration was trying to eliminate. We asked one of the reporters behind the effort, Kendra Pierre-Louis, to tell us more:
When President Trump took office, he did so promising that he would cut regulations. But that's a broad pledge — it didn't actually make clear which rules would be changed. To gain some clarity, about a year and a half ago the Climate desk began tracking the environmental regulations that the Trump administration was undoing.
For a number of reasons, the definition of a rollback that we settled on focuses on regulatory changes. What this means, for example, is that the E.P.A.'s move to reject a ban on chlorpyrifos, a pesticide that can lead to developmental delays in children, is on our list. The administration's decision to halt funding for research centers that focus on the risks to children from toxic chemicals, however, is not.
Here are a few changes that stood out:
• Proposed weakening Obama-era fuel-economy standards for cars and light trucks. (The proposal also challenges California's right to set its own more stringent standards.)
• Loosened offshore drilling safety regulations put in effect by the Obama administration after the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill in 2010.
• Revoked President Barack Obama's executive order that set a goal of cutting the federal government's greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent over 10 years.
The list is agnostic. It makes no distinction as to whether a rollback is good or bad. But many of the rollbacks, such as the ones that eliminated limits and reporting requirements on methane releases, will delay meaningful action on climate change. And the experts say, when it comes to climate change, we're quickly running out of time to act.

Gun control and tragedy
Our colleague Reid Epstein sent us this note today, on the unique circumstances of an article he recently wrote about gun control:
I've written about the politics of gun control since 2012, when the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School again thrust the issue into the national spotlight. But never before have I had an article about gun politics come hours before a mass shooting.
On Friday morning, The Times published my article detailing how, for the first time in a generation, Democratic presidential candidates were debating the best way to combat gun violence. And as some contenders are pushing the political discussion beyond universal background checks, grass-roots groups are calling for a more aggressive approach than is being advocated by the major gun control organizations.
On Friday afternoon, a gunman killed a dozen people at a municipal building in Virginia Beach.
The 2020 candidates immediately weighed in on Twitter, calling for action. Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey used his speech at the California Democratic Party convention on Saturday afternoon to denounce "the normalization of mass murder in our country."
"Our children, getting drills on how to hide underneath desks because children are being murdered in our schools, and we do nothing," Mr. Booker said. "It is time for us as a nation not to normalize the violence and the carnage of gun violence."

I'm confused on the role that process IDs play in the configuration. What is their significance? All of the study material I've reviewed thus far seem to imply that their value isn't all that critical.
They are there to keep life sane for the router itself in the case of more than one simultaneous processs.
Thanks Scott. Brilliant response as always.
Cisco routers may have up to 32 simultaneous processes. A single interface can only belong to a single process (although you can redistribute to "share").
So there often is reason to split things up. Keep in mind that one of the rules of OSPF is that EVERYONE in an OSPF area must have an identical database. If you are peering with a business partner, you really don't feel like sharing EVERYTHING with them. But perhaps you both know OPSF and no other protocol.
Run a second process. Share only the pieces you feel like sharing via redistribution and a route-map!
Boredom? Job security? All may play a role.
When you have two OSPF process ID's on a router, basically that router is an ASBR in each OSPF autonomous system.
It's only an ASBR if you type "redistribute" in either or both processes.
Otherwise, it's merely a member router inside an area of two different processes!
Good point. I was thinking with the redistribute command but failed to mention it.
It was the "redistribute silent"
Scott you do have a twisted, but very funny sense of humor! Thanks for redistributing your colorful wit!
Life is too short not to laugh about things!
You're welcome... However, now I'm off to bed!
"It's only an ASBR if you type "redistribute" in either or both processes.
Otherwise, it's merely a member router inside an area of two different processes!"
I think this is the catch here, thanks for clarification Scott.
Re: When do routers run multiple OSPF processes?

Q: For a given hash value, is it possible to guess whether it is generated by MD5 or SHA-1? Given a hash value, is it possible to guess the hash function used to generate it?
For example, let's say that 9b35a8503abcecadfb85726cfefb99a9 is generated by MD5 or SHA-1(If it's SHA-1, let's say that it is only the first 16 bytes of it), and the content was plain english text. Is there any hint that makes it more likely to be generated by MD5 than SHA-1 or vice versa?

A: No. If there was, that would indicate some defect in the hashing algorithm.
Of course, you can search against a rainbow table or by brute force. But other than that, there's no significant hint.

 2 Kings 2:7 Now fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan.
Now fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan.
Fifty men from the sons of the prophets came and stood facing them from a distance while the two of them stood by the Jordan.
But Elisha responded, "As the LORD lives, and while you're still alive, I'm not going to leave you!" So they went on their way, accompanied by 50 men from the Guild of Prophets, who stood at a short distance from them while they were both standing by the Jordan.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them afar off. And the two stood by the Jordan.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood over against them afar off: and they two stood by the Jordan.
Fifty men of the sons of the prophets also went and stood [to watch] afar off; and the two of them stood by the Jordan.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went out and took their places facing them a long way off, while the two of them were by the edge of Jordan.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood in front of them afar off; and the two of them stood by the Jordan.
And fifty men from the sons of the prophets went, and they will stand from opposite from afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view from afar off: and they both stood by the Jordan.
Then fifty men from the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite [them] at a distance while the two of them stood by the Jordan.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went on and stood afar off across from them. And both of them stood by the Jordan.
And fifty men of the sons of the Prophets went and stood in sight afar off, as they two stood by Jordan.
The fifty members of the prophetic guild went and stood opposite them at a distance, while Elijah and Elisha stood by the Jordan.
Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan.
But, fifty men of the sons of the prophets, came, and stood over against them, afar off, - and, they two, stood by the Jordan.
-- and fifty men of the sons of the prophets have gone on, and stand over-against afar off -- and both of them have stood by the Jordan.
6 Then Elijah said to him, "Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan." And he said, "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." So the two of them went on. 7 Now fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan. 8 Elijah took his mantle and folded it together and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
"Has it not been told to my master what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the LORD, that I hid a hundred prophets of the LORD by fifties in a cave, and provided them with bread and water?
But when they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, "Send." They sent therefore fifty men; and they searched three days but did not find him.

Coaches Fellowship Update – February, 2017
CF Update, Press Release
Coaches, Teammates, and Friends,
Grace – What a wonderful word for the soul in deep need of forgiveness and freedom as well as the one who thinks they don't need it because they are good enough!
Grace at Communion
A large prosperous downtown church had three mission churches under its care that it had started. On the first Sunday of the New Year all the members of the mission churches came to the city church for a combined Communion service. In those mission churches, which were located in the slums of the city, were some outstanding cases of conversations ─ thieves, burglars, and so on ─ but all knelt side by side at the Communion rail.
On one such occasion the pastor saw a former burglar kneeling beside a judge of the Supreme Court of England ─ the judge who had sent him to jail where he had served seven years. After his release this burglar had been converted and become a Christian worker. Yet, as they knelt there, the judge and the former convict, neither one seemed to be aware of the other.
After the service, the judge was walking home with the pastor and said to the pastor, "Did you notice who was kneeling beside me at the Communion rail this morning?"
The pastor replied, "Yes, but I didn't know that you noticed." The two walked along in silence for a few more moments, and then the judge said, "What a miracle of grace." The pastor nodded in agreement. "Yes, what a marvelous miracle of grace." Then the judge said, "But to whom do you refer?" And the pastor said, "Why, to the conversion of that convict." The judge said, "But I was not referring to him. I was thinking of myself." The pastor, surprised, replied: "You were thinking of yourself? I don't understand." "Yes," the judge replied, "it did not cost that burglar much to get converted when he came out of jail. He had nothing but a history of crime behind him, and when he saw Jesus as his Savior he knew there was he knew there was salvation and hope and joy for him. And he knew how much he needed that help. But look at me. I was taught from earliest infancy to live as a gentleman; that my word was to be my bond; that I was to say my prayers, go to church, take Communion and so on. I went through Oxford, took my degrees, was called to the bar and eventually became a judge. Pastor, nothing but the grace of God could have caused me to admit that I was a sinner on a level with that burglar. It took much more grace to forgive me for all my pride self-deception, to get me to admit that I was no better in the eyes of God than that convict that I had sent to prison.
Titus 3:7 says we are justified by His grace …
James 4:6 says He gives grace to the humble …
II Timothy 2:1 says we are to be STRONG in the grace of Jesus …
I hope you've received this wonderful gift of God. Eph. 2:8-9 says for by grace we are saved through faith …
EVERYONE in the entire world NEEDS GOD'S GRACE. Without it … we have NO hope.
Let's go ONWARD and UPWARD in HIS GRACE,

Woman Posed As Sandy Hook Victim Gets Sentancing
News Talk Florida
A New York City woman who posed as the aunt of a child killed in the massacre at a Sandy Hook Elementary School last December will be sentenced this afternoon.
Nouel Alba, 37, pleaded guilty in June to wire fraud and making false statements. She is scheduled to be sentenced on Tuesday in federal court in Hartford.
Authorities said she posed as a victim's family member in the aftermath of the shooting to solicit donations for a "funeral fund" on behalf of the family of 6-year-old Noah Pozner, who died at the school.
Alba allegedly claimed to be Pozner's aunt.

Our last soup lunch of the season raised over £600 for the Ottery Help Scheme. It was a full house, so thank you to everyone who contributed so generously to Lesley's lunch.
Many thanks for the support the HB has received. This exercise is now bearing fruit. We have now formed a small committee to run the HUB.
During the next month we hope to be having our first Parish lunch. The HUB meetings will change into a simple cafe format with the odd bit of entertainment thrown in.
Hello fellow flower arrangers and friends. We must start thinking about Easter. It is really late this year, so I think that spring flowers will be in short supply. I hope some flowers will still be out in the garden. We will be decorating the church on the morning of Saturday 20th April, if possible, but this is flexible to suit everybody.
Click 'READ MORE' for details of the Passover Meal to be held in Payhembury.
The Easter Breakfast will take place in Church, as usual, after the Sunrise Service on Easter Sunday (21 April 2019). Meet in the Village Hall car park at 6am for the Sunrise Service + bonfire (weather permitting).
We now have our new vicar, hurray! Rev David Carrington was licensed as planned on 1st August since when he has taken his first service at Escot. It was good that there were 18 of us there so we were able to welcome him with unusually large numbers.
Work has progressed on the boiler in that I have had a meeting with the diocesan heating adviser who made several recommendations which we will need to follow to avoid requiring a faculty. They have necessitated changes to our initial quote. Since then I have met a representative of a firm of asbestos removers. I have not yet had a quote for the work but was told that they will need to put up a tent outside the boiler room through which they pump clean air, bring generator, shower unit and portaloo on site for a job lasting five days so it is not going to be cheap! They will remove the boiler as well as the asbestos. Hopefully we can get quotes for all the work needed fairly shortly so we can establish the way forward.
We have also applied to the War Graves Commission for a sign on the church gate saying that there are war graves within the churchyard. This is part of a national initiative by the WGC to mark every churchyard where there are war graves.
It seems early to be thinking about Harvest but our Harvest service will take place on Sunday 7th October at 6pm followed by refreshments in church. As mentioned last month, our Harvest Supper will take place on Friday 26th October. Tickets will be £10 to include the first drink and available from me or any member of the PCC from mid September. We very much hope to see you at one or both of these events.

Multi-country outbreak of Listeria monocyt...
Multi-country outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes clonal complex 8 infections linked to consumption of cold-smoked fish products
Listeria monocytogenes, fish products, multi-country outbreak, core genome multi-locus sequence type (cgMLST), Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)
A prolonged multi‐country outbreak of 22 listeriosis cases caused by Listeria monocytogenes sequence type (ST) 1247, clonal complex (CC) 8 has been identified through whole genome sequencing (WGS) in five EU countries: Denmark (9 cases), Estonia (6), Finland (2), France (1) and Sweden (4). Five patients have died due to, or with, the disease. The first case had symptom onset in July 2014 in Estonia, and the most recent case occurred in Denmark in February 2019. Eight patients, out of twelve for whom a food consumption history was available, confirmed the consumption of cold‐smoked fish products.L. monocytogenes food isolates, matching the human outbreak strain by WGS, were detected at wholesale and retail level in four countries (i.e. France, Denmark, Italy and Sweden) from 13 batches of cold smoked or gravad salmon and from six batches of cold smoked trout products. Traceability information of the contaminated batches pointed to the Estonian processing Company A as the single common manufacturer of these fish products. The raw fish was received from suppliers in Norway and Finland. Environmental investigations and food testing at the Estonian processing plant showed the presence of L. monocytogenes that matched the outbreak strain in two samples on the processing line and in four batches of the final product.The presence of L. monocytogenes matching the outbreak strain over several years in the fish products suggests the persistence of the microorganism at the Estonian company's premises. Further investigation is needed to identify points of (cross‐)contamination in the food processing plant. Control measures were implemented in Estonia, Denmark, France and Italy following the RASFF (Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed) notifications, but until the source of infection has been identified and controlled, new invasive listeriosis cases associated with this event may still occur.

Congress approves plans to build a Global War on Terror memorial
Planning and construction of the tribute to post-Sept. 11 service is expected to take a decade or more.
By Leo Shane III
A soldier makes his way back to his Stryker armored vehicle as B Co. 4th Battalion 9th Infantry Regiment makes its way to an objective in the desert west of Baji, Iraq. On Thursday, Congress gave final approval for plans to build a Global War on Terror memorial on the National Mall. (Rob Curtis/Military Times)
WASHINGTON — Lawmakers on Thursday gave final approval to the idea of a Global War on Terror memorial, clearing the path for what is expected to be a years-long process of designing and building a tribute to the latest generation of veterans.
In wrap-up work before their summer recess, senators unanimously approved legislation that would allow planning of the memorial to begin immediately, instead of the normally mandated 10-year wait period after the end of a military conflict.
Supporters have argued that because the ongoing "war on terror" is open-ended, it could take decades before an official end is declared. By then, they worry, a generation of warfighters may have already died without seeing a tribute to their service.
"This memorial will be wholly dedicated to our 7,000 brothers and sisters who deployed with us but did not return, and their survivors," said Andrew Brennan, founder and executive director of the Global War on Terror Memorial Foundation. "It is dedicated to the 1 million wounded warriors who are reclaiming their lives back here at home.
"We're looking forward to building a sacred place of healing and remembrance for our GWOT veterans, a place for families to gather together to honor their loved ones, and for future generations of Americans to learn about a war they will likely grow up alongside of."
The House passed the memorial legislation last week. President Donald Trump is expected to sign the measure into law.
Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., a Marine Corps officer who served in Iraq and sponsored the House bill, said last week he saw the measure as important not just for his fellow veterans, but for reminding the country about what his generation of service members sacrificed.
"I hope we can find a way to capture the spirit of these wars, how unique they are," he said. "You're doing something that you hope will last forever."
Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, an Iraq War vet and a Senate sponsor of the effort, called Thursday's vote, "another step closer toward honoring the brave men and women, and their loved ones, who have sacrificed so much in the defense of our nation."
The bill does not provide any money for the project, or specify any design plans. Instead, it authorizes Brennan's foundation to oversee fundraising and construction of the memorial.
That's a process that supporters say will likely take a decade, if not longer. Organizers say the work can begin in earnest once the president signs the measure into law.
The planning will include negotiations with the National Capital Memorial Advisory Commission to discuss a possible location on the National Mall for the memorial.

Department of Linguistics
Startsida Utbildning Forskning Om oss
Dissertations & publications
Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. The Department of Linguistics is an interdisciplinary educational environment where questions about language are addressed from different angles.
Photo from Shutterstock
Our courses and programmes are offered within two main areas: Linguistics and Sign Language. On behalf of Karolinska Institutet, we also give courses within the Speech and Language Pathology Programme.
Education and research in collaboration
Linguistics of today is an interdisciplinary field of research with connections to the natural sciences, behavioural sciences and the humanities. Our researchers are active in areas such as child language development, computational linguistics, the multilingualism of the deaf and hard of hearing, phonetics, sign language and typology and linguistic diversity. This academic breadth is also noticeable in our courses and programmes. Starting from the undergraduate level, our students can get to know the different areas of linguistics.
Experimental labs
Two research laboratories are linked to our department: SUBIC and the Phonetics Laboratory.

We bring together students with different backgrounds and different future plans. Meet some of them below.
Amanda, linguistics
There is probably no other subject with such a variation
Amanda Kann is studying the Master's Programme in Language Science with a specialisation in Typology and Linguistic Diversity.
– The best thing about linguistics is the breadth. Languages can be examined from so many different angles: from how children learn their first language to how to teach computers to understand "human language". Linguists can be brain researchers, behavioural scientists and programmers, but we all share an interest in language.
– A good thing about the education at Stockholm University is the varied approach and the committed lecturers. In the bachelor's programme in Linguistics, you get to try out the different specialisations of linguistics to find what you are most interested in.
– When I started the bachelor's programme, I was worried about standing out as a natural scientist. It was completely unnecessary. My classmates had studied everything from social sciences to technology and aesthetic subjects and with our different backgrounds we could help each other. Linguistics often feels more like a subject of natural science - there is a lot of laboratory work and practical elements during the education.

Nina, sign language
As an interpreter, I get to combine my interest in language with my interest in people
Nina Sterby studies sign language at the undergraduate level.
Foto: Karin Lindahl/Stockholms universitet
– In Sweden, we have many sign language speakers, but people in general knows very little about sign language. Many still believe that sign language is international, but there are lots of sign languages in the world. I want to become a sign language interpreter, so I can combine my interest in language with my interest in people.
– As a new student in sign language, you start training your language skills immediately. Our deaf teachers are very used to meeting beginners and it's easy to communicate with them. I had deaf people around me when I grew up. It made me more curious about sign language.
– My studies in sign language have given me a new understanding of history. For example, it is not very long since deaf people in Sweden were not allowed to use sign language in school.
More about the subject Sign Language
Elena, linguistics
I was lucky to get in
Elena Moser from Switzerland studied the Master's Programme in Language Science with a Specialisation in Typology and Linguistic Diversity.
Photo: Private
– I started my bachelor in Bern. During my second year I went on Erasmus to Stockholm University. Since I wanted to visit Sweden, Stockholm became my first choice. I was here for one semester and had a great time and a great experience at the Department of Linguistics. When it was time to choose my master, it became my first choice. And I was lucky to get in!
– Beeing part of the Student Council at the department was a great way to get to know my fellow students, but also to be involved in our programmes. We had the opportunity to work together with our professors and organise workshops that we needed for certain classes.
– Most students within Linguistics continue with research but there are a lot of different things you can do. Tech companies that are doing language recognition software programs need linguistics. This is coming up more and more.
Master's Programme in Language Science
Our teachers are also active researchers.
Mattias Heldner, phonetics
We are a bit odd in the Faculty of Humanities
Mattias Heldner is Professor in Phonetics and our Head of Department. It was his interest in music, language and technology that originally led him into phonetics.
Mattias Heldner. Photo by Karin Lindahl/Stockholms universitet
– I like the fact that phonetics is so interdisciplinary. It is a language subject and it is about speech, something that is very important to us as humans. But it is also an experimental and technical subject. We measure and count a lot, which makes us a little odd in the Faculty of Humanities.
– I got into phonetics when I was young and played in bands. I was interested in computers and the phonetics laboratory seemed exiting. There were early opportunities to record sound digitally with high quality, there was an echo-free room and I could do acoustic analyses of the recordings. I became involved in research projects and soon discovered that I enjoyed phonetic research.
More about phonetics
Julia Uddén, neurolinguistics
Neurolinguistics is brain research on language
Julia Uddén is a researcher and teaches in our courses in neurolinguistics.
– Very early on, I was curious about how the brain processes sequences, the type of abstract patterns that extend in time and are found in language, music and dance. Later I became interested in how the brain manages to create meaning beyond what is literally expressed. Today I am researching the differences in the brains of people who interpret the same literal meaning in different ways. Some people read more between the lines and I am interested in how the brain develops to support that behaviour.
– Language is a window to the human interior. By studying the language with stringent methods, we understand ourselves and can contribute to a better society - that will be needed with the climate changes.

Outcry over 'insulting' Alex Jones interview
Simplified Version
Presentation view

Last night an American TV network aired a prime-time interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. The show has triggered a furious debate: should Jones have been interviewed at all?
It was supposed to be the interview that established Megyn Kelly as America's top interviewer, weeks after the launch of her new NBC show. Instead, it turned into a PR nightmare for her.
Last night, NBC aired Kelly's conversation with Alex Jones, a broadcaster known for his far-right views and factually dubious claims. The interview touched on some of Jones's favourite subjects, from 9/11 (an "inside job") to animal-human hybrids.
Jones has spent decades causing outrage with his extreme opinions. Via his radio show and news website Infowars, he makes outlandish — and highly offensive — allegations about public figures. He often warns of a global conspiracy by shadowy elites to enslave ordinary people.
But it is his past comments on the Sandy Hook massacre, which he has called "a giant hoax", that are at the heart of his latest controversy. When the news broke that Kelly would interview Jones, there was a huge backlash.
The mother of one of the massacre's victims called the decision an "insult". The bank JPMorgan Chase pulled its ads from the show. NBC executives considered cancelling the interview.
The pressure on Kelly only increased when Jones leaked a recording of his pre-interview negotiations with her. She can be heard assuring Jones that she will try to humanise him. "I'm not looking to portray you as some kind of boogeyman," she says.
For years, Jones was seen as a fringe commentator whose views were only taken seriously by a tiny minority. However, his influence has increased with the rise of Donald Trump, who has appeared on his show and shares his fondness for conspiracy theories.
Jones now commands a huge audience. His radio show claims to play on over 160 stations. In May, Infowars received a million pageviews daily. Trump adviser Roger Stone has called Jones "the single most important voice in the alternative conservative media".
"Our goal in sitting down with him was to shine a light — as journalists are supposed to do — on this influential figure," said Kelly. Was she right to do so?
Keeping up with the Jones
No way, say some. The role of the media is to present intelligent debates about the world's issues. Jones is a proven liar; he has no place on Kelly's show. By interviewing him, she is giving legitimacy to his dangerous views. She is only doing this because she knows it will boost her ratings. Shame on her.
Like it or not, reply others, Jones is a key figure in the age of social media and fake news. The media has a duty to reflect what's going on in society, even if that means paying attention to awful people like him. Besides, if it ignored him, it would only make him stronger: he thrives on the idea that everyone is against him.
Was Kelly right to interview Jones?
What (if any) kinds of speech should be illegal?
Imagine you have your own TV show. Who would you most like to interview? Pick one person, write a paragraph explaining your choice, and come up with five questions to ask him or her.
Find someone who has done something interesting in your community. Conduct an interview with him or her, then read it out (or play a recording) to the class.
Some People Say...
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
What do we know?
Alex Jones started out in the 1990s on an Austin, Texas radio station. As well as giving a four-hour broadcast on Infowars every day, he has written two books and produced dozens of films. He very occasionally goes back on his claims. For example, he apologised for claiming that the Democratic Party was involved in human trafficking after being threatened with legal action.
What do we not know?
Whether Jones truly believes what he says. Some argue that his opinions must be genuine if he has spent two decades promoting them. Others say that he is in the business for the money. Moreover, in a recent custody case following his divorce, Jones's lawyers argued that he is a "performance artist", nothing more. Jones later said that the lawyers had been misinterpreted by the media.
Word Watch
The journalist made her name at Fox News; she infamously clashed with Donald Trump, who made sexist comments about her. She started hosting her Sunday night show on NBC News earlier this month.
Public relations: the efforts by a person or organisation to maintain a good public image.
Animal-human hybrids
This is not pure fiction. Some scientists want to implant human stem cells in animal embryos to help their research into human development and disease. But Infowars has covered this subject in a very sensational way, warning that it could lead to "a creature that is 60% human and 40% bear".
A giant hoax
Jones has claimed that "no one died" during the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, and that the Obama administration orchestrated the hoax. He has since denied having said this.
Read Nelba L. Márquez-Greene's article for The Washington Post in Become An Expert.
Trump appeared on Jones's show in December 2015. "Your reputation is amazing," he told his host. "I will not let you down."

All Hip-Hop heads know February as J Dilla Month, the acclaimed beatmaker who took production techniques to new heights in his prolific but often, while alive, under appreciated career. Quickly scooped up by iconic trailblazers A Tribe Called Quest's founding member Q-Tip once he heard the demo tape of Jay Dee's then group Slum Village the wonder-kid now known as J Dilla was added to the production team The Ummah. Doing beats for The Pharcyde, De La Soul and many others Jay Dee's unique groundbreaking style quickly became a well of secret inspiration for anyone thirsty for the next phase in Hip-Hop sonics.
Dilla would go on to return back to the independent scene and link up with Madlib and the whole Stones Throw collective and continue his prolific output and innovation. His idiosyncratic style of production, loose and free, also matched his rhyme style -which was pioneered with founding group Slum Village- free forming and improvised. J Dilla not only elevated the 'Jazz Rap' sound of A Tribe Called Quest he embodied Jazz itself, improvisation and bending of rules were as inherent to his core as it was to the genre itself.
Happy Birthday to the #GOAT!
Rare footage of legendary Hip Hop trio Slum Village performing live.
Stones Throw Records is one of the most successful and acclaimed independent music labels of our time. They also harbor some of Hip Hop's most mysterious, illusive, and enigmatic figures, so a glimpse inside of this labels life is more than welcomed. 'Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton' hosts an array of musical figures, many of whom stop by just to sing the label praises, the guests range from Common and Questlove to Tyler, The Creator, Snoop Dogg and Kanye West. With most documentaries they start at the beginning and explain how Peanut Butter Wolf, the founder of Stones Throw Records, basically started the label after having some unpleasant bouts with labels and just wanted a place to release the music he was making with childhood friend and MC Charizma. Without giving too much away it eventually reaches the time period most Stones Throw fans know and delves into the likes of Madlib, DOOM, and J Dilla. Keeping these mysterious figures mysterious the documentary doesn't really release much never before seen footage of these illusive figures, they even borrow footage from DOOM's Red Bull Music Academy interview instead of showing footage they more than likely have of these figures behind the scenes. They perfectly document the ups and downs of the label the change in musical style and taste and also the redemption of the label while giving an optimistic look toward the unknown future for this collective. The 2 disc special edition 'box set' comes with a soundtrack which features a few unreleased Madlib beats, but if you are truly a fan of Stones Throw then you most likely already have every song on the soundtrack in a few different formats (mp3, cd, 45, and probably cassette too knowing their output). One can only look forward to what goodies will be released once this DVD gets a re-issue, Stones Throw never let's their fans and listeners down with product and this documentary is just another notch under their belt of quality work.

We have all heard the famous Jonah in the belly of the fish story. While we are going to talk about the book of Jonah here, we will be focusing in on a bit of Scripture that is most likely over looked by a lot of people.
Here we will study Jonah 1:13-14 in further detail. Some background: Jonah had already made the deal with the sailors who would take him to Tarshish in his ridiculous attempt to escape an Omnipresent God. A great storm had just kicked up out of the blue, and Jonah had not yet been thrown into the sea to be gobbled up by a huge fish—but he did tell the sailors to throw him in. At first they did not listen, instead they tried to fight the storm by trying to row the best they could to get back to land. Unfortunately for them—and especially Jonah—the harder they tried, the worse the storm got. Until, at long last they prayed to God and threw Jonah into the sea to be gobbled up by the fish.
Where does that fit into our everyday lives? Well there are a couple different directions I could go with this.
First, how often do we act first then pray? Jonah, being a prophet of the Most High knew what it took in order to save the ship. They did not listen, and instead went right into fighting the storm. Then, after they realized it was the wrong idea, they prayed. It is arguable that we should pray to God before every major decision that we make in our lives.
Second, how often do we think we know what is best for our lives only to find out that God has a different idea? The men on the boat thought it brilliant to try to row back to land for safety. They realized it was not going to happen, and they went to plan B—God's plan. Before we find out what God's plan might be we fight the storm, all too often wasting a great deal of time. And if we had just listened in the first place, and relinquished all of our power to Him there would be fewer storms in our lives. As usual, the Bible comes through with the utmost relevance for today's life. This post is meant to get the reader to pray first then take action, and to relinquish control to God in all of life's endeavors.
