The Sun and the Moon are never retrograde.
Although not quite as popular as Sun sign astrology, "Mercury Retrograde" has certainly become a buzzword–or buzz phrase–these days.
As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our "lower" mind—how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others. Mercury has rulership over such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of life are affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state. Decision-making is challenged during Mercury retrograde. Needless to say, it is not advised to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a new business. Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde. This period is best used for re-organizing and reflecting.
During these periods, it's best to check and double-check your work, emails, and paperwork. Watch what you say, because it may not come out, or be received, the way you intended. Try to be understanding if you receive remarks that don't go over well. Double-check that the person who uttered those words really meant it the way you thought they did! Asking "are you sure you meant to say that?" might help. Get in touch with yourself during this period–it's an excellent cycle for discovering new ways of looking at life and at yourself. It's also an ideal cycle in which to discover new ways of communicating your ideas and thoughts.
Mercury is retrograde from March 5 to 28, 2019, in the sign of Pisces.
Mercury is retrograde from July 7 to 31, 2019, in the signs of Leo and Cancer.
Mercury is retrograde from October 31 to November 20, 2019, in the sign of Scorpio.

What is Venus Retrograde? Occasionally, Venus appears to be moving backwards in the sky. "Appears" is the key word here, because, technically speaking, no planet actually moves backwards in their orbits around the Sun. In fact, they don't even slow down. Retrograde-station-direct cycles are essentially illusions that result from our point of view from Earth, simply because the Earth is also orbiting the Sun at a different speed than the other planets. Venus is Retrograde approximately 40-43 days every 18 months.
As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are times when we re-assess what–and who–we value. It is a period that most astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Brand new financial undertakings are not advised during this period as well. There may be delays or confusion in relationships and financial affairs. Read more about Venus Retrograde cycles.
Venus does NOT turn retrograde in 2019.
What is Mars Retrograde? Occasionally, Mars appears to be moving backwards in the sky. "Appears" is the key word here, because, technically speaking, no planet actually moves backwards in their orbits around the Sun. In fact, they don't even slow down. Retrograde-station-direct cycles are essentially illusions that result from our point of view from Earth, simply because the Earth is also orbiting the Sun at a different speed than the other planets. Mars is Retrograde approximately 58-81 days every 2+ years.

Outer planet transits in the year 2019, excerpted from the Day Watch Report Package. In the Day Watch report package, the following transits are mixed with personal transits.
This is a broad time for taking that second look at what life seemed to offer, or that it claimed to promise. That doesn't mean your life, specifically, but you'll probably find that's the current question in the air and there is good conversation in it at the least. The answers, in general, will be for the moment that optimism fails — hopes lead to disappointment and a lot of other confusions that result from both unclear desires and fuzzy thinking. If you can be on the outside looking into this one, you'll be the happier for it. Unexamined expectations go before the fall, and where you can be a cushion to others and a shoulder to lean on, you'll be the one to benefit from it later.
This is a roughly yearlong stretch when life for society at large can seem steadier–when what is believed true can appear reliable and the powers that be for the moment either tolerate or co-opt the spiritual world. Thus, it is sometimes a period of seeming spiritual progress. It seems like the bloom is on the rose, but it's really a work in progress that results from hopeful alliances and temporary conveniences. Although this is a universal experience and has little application on any one specific level on a day-to-day basis, it does raise the universal opportunity to make short-term gains out of what others may believe are long-term trends.

Established principles are in the air this coming year, and expansion by contraction is the mysterious solution to the question "Quo vadis?" A conservative, no-nonsense approach that favors continuing the old to reach the new is in fashion. Of course, time marches on, even if you're sitting still. If that's your move, that's your decision.
This is, in general, a period when it's more all right to experiment with the unusual, pursue original approaches, and follow those flashes of insight however strange they might seem. Partially, it's because what you might have thought strange not long ago now seems lucidly obvious and everyone wants a piece of the action. Now is not the time to recriminate or remind others of how unimaginative they recently were—much better to acknowledge how ahead of the pack you were because, of course, you're a natural leader.
In 2019, Mercury is retrograde from March 5 to 28 (in Pisces), July 7 to 31 (in Leo and Cancer), and then October 31 to November 20 (in Scorpio).
A planet is considered out of bounds when its declination is beyond the outer bounds or limits of that of the Sun, i.e. greater than 23 degrees and 27 minutes of declination, either North or South. The energies of these planets tend to be a little out of control during these periods.

Aussie women chase elusive basketball gold in Rio
BASKETBALL: Winning an Olympic medal has become the norm for the women's basketball team at the Olympics but the 12-strong team announced today are hoping for something different in Rio.
While past teams have stood on the podium at five straight Games, starting back at Atlanta in 1996, they are yet to claim Olympic gold and are keen to change that in Rio.
Laura Hodges, Elizabeth Cambage and Rachel Jarry return from the London 2012 Team that won bronze while Erin Phillips and Penny Taylor will make their return to Olympic competition.
They're joined by Olympic debutants Marianna Tolo, Katie-Rae Ebzery, Natalie Burton, Tessa Lavey, Leilani Mitchell, Stephanie Talbot and Cayla George.
Rio 2016 will be Taylor's third Games, after missing London 2012 with injury, and she believes that the strength, determination and focus of this side will give them every chance of making history in Rio.
"Gold is always the goal at an Olympic Games but we know there is a long way to getting the chance to play for that gold medal," said the dual Olympic silver medallist.
"We have a strong team and a very similar team to what we had at the 2014 World Championships and I think (coach) Brendan (Joyce) has done a wonderful job implementing a system that we love being a part of.
"We play Brazil first up and playing the home side in the first game is always going to be a huge challenge in itself."
Taylor missed the London 2012 after tearing her ACL just months before the Games and has been determined ever since to get another chance to compete at the Olympics.
"London was always a motivator to make Rio but it was also motivation to get healthy and get back playing with the girls."
Playing for the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA, Taylor is exposed to many of the US players that have long been Australia's nemesis in Olympic competition.
"They are the defending gold medallists and are the pinnacle of our sport. They're always who we see as our biggest competitor and we just want to give ourselves another chance to get in a position to be able to face them."
One of Taylor's long-time Australian teammates is Hodges who will look to make history in Rio by becoming one of only three Australia women, alongside Lauren Jackson and Kristi Harrower, to win four basketball medals in Olympic competition.
"I think this is the most excited I've been when I found out I was on the Team, as I know just how special the Olympics are.
"Not only being part of this team with a great group of girls but also being a part of the Australian Team of over 400 athletes is so special."
Hodges has been a part of a series of camps that have slowly whittled the team down to the final 12 that will head to Rio in search of history.
"We've been working so hard for the last year – there is so much talent in Australian basketball and it would have been really tough for the coaches to only pick 12 players.
"This team is really versatile, with experience alongside the youth, who have so much athleticism and talent. We are a strong unit but we know we need to lift the intensity even more in this last month."
The 32-year-old has fond memories of Brazil having won World Championship gold there a decade ago.
"The Brazilian fans really get into the sport and go crazy with drums in the crowd.
"We played them twice at that tournament and we couldn't hear the coaches in the timeouts and had to use the sign language while on the court. Every time you ran up the court you could feel the drums in your heart."
Australia secured five wins in their recent eight match European tour but despite some strong results the most positive aspect of the tour was the fact centre Marianna Tolo made her return to the court after a ten-month layoff with a torn ACL.
Now back at full fitness Tolo, who was Australia's top scorer at the 2014 World Championships, is ready and raring to go.
"It's the best feeling in the world to know I'm getting to compete at the Olympics and I'm not sure it has really sunk in just yet.
"Coming back in Europe was great and it was amazing to have all the girls behind me and cheering me on."
Tolo and her teammates now get a week at home before heading to Dallas to fine tune their Rio 2016 preparations.
"We get to play Canada, France and the USA who are obviously some of the best teams that will be in Rio.
"It will be tough, great practice and give us the chance to work Penny (Taylor) and Erin (Phillips) back into the team."
Australia will play their first match against Brazil on Day 1 of the Games (August 6). They then take on Turkey on Day 2 (August 7), France on Day 4 (August 9), Japan on Day 6 (August 11) before rounding out the group stage against Belarus on Day 8 (August 13). They will need to finish in the top four in the group to progress in the quarter-finals.
Australia have won five consecutive medals in Olympic competition with bronze in Atlanta 1996 followed by three straight silver medals in Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008. They lost to the USA in the semi-finals of the London 2012 Games before defeating Russia to claim the bronze medal.

Alcantara river has its source on the south side of Monti Nebrodi and its mouth in the Ionian Sea at Capo Schiso in Giardini-Naxos and it is 52 kilometres (32 mi) long. It is the natural habitat of many different species of migrant birds and it is characterized by a huge variety of plants and vegetation.
For those who love trekking it is possible to find many different itinerary options (http://www.parcoalcantara.it/Eitinerari.php).
The park is free entry but the famous gorges, in italian "gole", are not, so it is required to buy a ticket. The Alcantara gorges are vulcanic canyons, 50 mt high, in which the river Alcantara flows. They are 400 meters long but for security issues,, it is possible to visit just 200 meters.

Home India Karnataka animates Rajya Sabha to adjournment
The Karnataka Assembly has 225 members, including one nominated MLA also the halfway mark in the 225-member Assembly is 113
New Delhi: Rajya Sabha proceedings were on Tuesday adjourned for an hour after uproar by opposition Congress over developments in Karnataka that have threatened the survival of the party's coalition government in the State.
Congress members stormed into the well of the House shouting slogans against the ruling BJP, which it has blamed for instigating a rebellion within the Congress-JD-S government in Karnataka.
The year-old Congress-Janata Dal (S) coalition government in Karnataka is on the brink of collapse after a spate of resignations by MLAs.
The Karnataka Assembly has 225 members, including one nominated MLA. The halfway mark in the 225-member Assembly is 113.
TMC members too trooped into the well over some issue concerning West Bengal, forcing Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu to adjourn proceedings till 1200 hours.
This is the first adjournment that Rajya Sabha has witnessed since Parliament met for the maiden session of the Modi 2.0 government.
Naidu said he has received a notice under rule 267 from Congress member B K Hariprasad, seeking suspension of the listed business to take up the Karnataka issue. "I am not allowing it," he said, promoting Congress members to rush to the well shouting slogans.
Naidu also said he has received a notice under rule 267 from Dola Singh of TMC but it cannot be allowed as the same had been raised through a Zero Hour mention on June 21, the first day of the session.
TMC members trooped into the well but the issue they were raising could not be heard.
On June 21, one of the issues raised during the Zero Hour was delay by the Centre in according ST status to 11 communities recommended by the West Bengal government.
"As per rules, you cannot discuss the same issues twice in the same session," Naidu said, adding the House had functioned without disruption for 13 days but now it seems members were determined to disrupt.
"If you have decided to disrupt, I adjourn proceedings till 1200 hrs," he said.
Earlier, BJP leader Lokhandwala Jugalsinh Mathurji, who was elected to the Upper House from Gujarat in the by-polls last week, took oath as a member of the Rajya Sabha.

Written By: David Anderson | Feb 24th 2015 - 12am.
While visiting some cemeteries you may notice that headstones marking certain graves have coins on them, left by previous visitors to the grave. These coins have distinct meanings when left on the headstones of those who gave their life while serving in America's military, and these meanings vary depending on the denomination of coin. A coin left on a headstone or at the grave site is meant as a message to the deceased soldier's family that someone else has visited the grave to pay respect. Leaving a penny at the grave means simply that you visited. A nickel indicates that you and the deceased trained at boot camp together, while a dime means you served with him in some capacity. By leaving a quarter at the grave, you are telling the family that you were with the soldier when he was killed.
According to tradition, the money left at graves in national cemeteries and state veterans cemeteries is eventually collected, and the funds are put toward maintaining the cemetery or paying burial costs for indigent veterans. In the US, this practice became common during the Vietnam war, due to the political divide in the country over the war; leaving a coin was seen as a more practical way to communicate that you had visited the grave than contacting the soldier's family, which could devolve into an uncomfortable argument over politics relating to the war. Some Vietnam veterans would leave coins as a "down payment" to buy their fallen comrades a beer or play a hand of cards when they would finally be reunited. The tradition of leaving coins on the headstones of military men and women can be traced to as far back as the Roman Empire.
There are quite a few superstitions that compel people to leave money on a loved ones grave. By far the most popular reason is based in Greek Mythology. According to legend, Charon, the ferryman of Hades, requires payment of one coin to ferry your loved ones soul across the River Styx that separates the living from the dead. Historically, the coins were placed in the mouths of the deceased, or according to some sources, over their eyes. People who can't pay the fee are said to be doomed to wander the shores of the river for 100 years. This sounds like reason enough to throw down a penny, just in case. Another popular reason for leaving coins on graves relates to the notorious Donnelly family, known as the Black Donnellys. A longstanding feud with another family resulted in the brutal massacre of five Donnelly family members. Some believe that the Donnolly's will grant a wish for anyone that leaves a penny on the Donnelly family grave. This superstition has expanded, and many now believe that a dead loved one will grant a wish if they leave a penny on their headstone, or that the loved one will watch over them and bring them good luck.
No matter what the original intention of the coin-leaver may be, it seems clear that a coin left on a headstone is a symbol of remembrance and respect. A way of telling all who pass by that the person buried there was loved and visited often.
As always please see your local County Veterans Service Officer if you have any questions. You can contact your local VSO at (218) 631-7617 or by email at david.anderson@co.wadena.mn.us and as always have a great week.

Encinitas City Council discusses election reforms
by Jared Whitlock October 3, 2013 July 22, 2015 132
ENCINITAS — Should future mayors earn more than councilmembers?
That question was discussed during a special City Council meeting on Wednesday dedicated to all things election.
Other issues that were mulled over during the meeting included the 2014 Encinitas ballot initiative to allow medical marijuana dispensaries and the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling.
In regards to the mayor's salary, councilmembers and the mayor take home the same amount — $1,186 — every month, according to the city's staff report. Councilman Tony Kranz said that being mayor requires putting in more time than councilmembers. For that reason, he supports the mayor being paid more.
Deputy Mayor Lisa Shaffer said she's not in favor of increasing the mayor's salary. However, she noted that the mayor has to attend more events than councilmembers.
If councilmembers find that the mayor isn't being adequately reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses associated with city business, then they should consider increasing compensation, Shaffer added.
In the end, council gave direction to bring back more information, including whether mayors of other cities make more money than councilmembers, for a potential vote.
Several public speakers advocated for the City Council to pass a non-binding resolution to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling.
Due to the ruling, Super PACS and their affiliated 501 (c) 4s can collect nearly unlimited contributions from corporations, unions and individuals.
As a result of a unanimous vote, the City Council will consider adopting the resolution next month.
Pam Page, representing the San Diego wing of Common Cause, an organization that promotes open government, said that the resolution is symbolic, but sends a message to legislators.
"When it comes time for our congressional representatives to vote on the issue, we want them to look to their constituents … and look to Encinitas," Page said.
She noted that 50 California cities, including the city of San Diego, have passed a resolution to reverse Citizens United.
In response to councilmembers' questions, Glenn Sabine, the city's attorney, said he'll need to research how Citizens United affects campaign disclosures for those running for Encinitas City Council.
The city will also look into a separate inquiry regarding whether it's possible to cap campaign contributions for city council candidates.
In November 2014, Encinitas voters will decide if medical marijuana dispensaries should be permitted in certain parts of the city. Councilmembers declined to take a stance on that ballot measure.
Councilman Mark Muir proposed that councilmembers issue support or opposition to the initiative at a future council meeting. However, the other councilmembers didn't back that plan.
A similar measure failed to pass in Solana Beach and Del Mar last year.
Heidi Whitman said that the City Council should support the measure. She noted that the federal government has recently said it won't interfere with cities that closely regulate medical marijuana. Whitman added that she herself uses medical marijuana; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to eat due to injuries sustained from a boating accident.
Nancy Logan opposes the measure, arguing it will make it easier for teenagers to obtain marijuana.
"It's not the sick people going in and getting it — it's the youth," Logan said.

I also agree it's not necessary to raise the Mayor's pay. The City Attorney informed Council there can be a "one time adjustment" so that one of the three open Council seats in 2016 could be designated for a two year term only. I feel as though the Deputy Mayor should continue to be a rotating position, but Tony Kranz, and Kristin Gaspar indicated they would prefer the "continuity" of a two year seat. But the deputy mayor will be selected by Council, not the future mayor. Current Deputy Mayor, Lisa Shaffer, made a compromise suggestion that the seat could continue to be selected by Council, yearly, and that the same person could be elected, twice, if the majority of Council wanted "continuity" and that person worked well with the mayor.
Another suggestion made by Councilmember Mark Muir was that the proposed Highway 101 Streetscape Plan, from A Street to La Costa, with five roundabouts, four of them one-lane, narrow diameter roundabouts with three way intersections only, NO cross streets, less safety features, which will cause lane elimination on our highway both northbound AND southbound, effectively changing a Major Roadway, primary circulation element, into a two lane street, with motorists bottlenecking at 15 MPH through the one lane roundabouts, rather than traveling at 35 MPH on our previous four lane highway, could be considered to be placed on the General Election ballot, in 2014.
There has been a huge amount of controversy, particularly amongst adjacent neighbors and local commuters, because we know the project would lead to slowing down already subpar emergency response times along the Coast and more traffic cutting through residential/recreational streets which provide access and egress from Stonesteps, Beacon's and Grandview beaches west of 101, and a school zone, immediately east of 101. Muir suggested that since there has been so much division, from the beginning, and this is such a high ticket item, projected to cost at least $20 Million of our TransNet tax dollars, then the city should schedule the dissuasion for a future agenda item over whether this could be placed by Council on the General Election Ballot in November of 2014. Doing so would determine, accurately, whether there is or is not widespread community support for the plans, which many feel are ill-advised.
There was no vote, by Council last Wednesday at the Special Meeting, to say NO, as there was, specifically, for the Marijuana Initiative, that would have allowed dispensaries within our local zoning. Our Counci voted no, andl chose NOT to take a stand on that initiative which WILL be on the ballot. They should have done the same thing with Prop A, before! But Council now SHOULD allow further discussion of putting five roundabouts and lane elimination on the ballot.
We know most residents who are aware of the plans realize the bottlenecking which would result, particularly during PEAK periods, will cost delays in emergency response time and will cost lives. The project is NOT cost effective, and is not needed or wanted by a majority of Encinitas voters! It is being forced on us by special interests.
If Council and the Leucadia 101 Mainstreet Association feel the project, with five roundabouts and lane elimination, in both directions, from A St. to La Costa on Historic State Highway 101, has public support, they should encourage a public vote. The workshops held by Peltz and Associates had flawed methodology, which resulted in invalid statistical analysis. Just as the workshops and methodology by MIG had, before, re the General Plan Update, which was unsupported by the community and had to be "rebooted." We will be allowed to vote on the GPU! Council, at the very LEAST, should set a future agenda item for discussion of putting five roundabouts and lane elimination on Highway 101 on the 2014 GE Ballot.
The way the Agenda was set up on Oct. 2, all things election were under only two agenda items, and we were allowed to give input for three minutes per speaker, for topics that Council took two hours or more to discuss with the City Attorney, the Clerk, and amongst themselves. Those private citizens who did speak, were primarily concerned with overturning the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling, and advocating that the public should support dispensaries being allowed for compassionate, medical marijuana distribution within our local zoning, to enforce an initiative previously passed by the voters of our state.
Mayor Barth promised that all the different "sections" of Agenda Item number one would come back as separate agenda items. So we expect this promise to be kept, INCLUDING a separate agenda item for potential ballot measures to be set by Council, which should also include a preliminary discussion about putting roundabouts and lane elimination through Leucadia on the ballot.
Why should a total of 8 future roundabouts, including three on Leucadia Blvd (two already installed) and five on Highway 101, ALL be planned for the northern, coastal portion of our City? That is not wise, nor fair. There is only one roundabout any where else in Encinitas, on Santa Fe, and that one is graded improperly, so as to limit motorists vision. The Santa Fe roundabout has a history of many collisions and one death, since its installation, many more accidents than at the same intersection before it was installed.

2019-22 In a nutshellDownload
TRADE WAR PUTS HUAWEI IN BIG TROUBLE
Trade war between the USA and China has just found its next victim, Huawei. The company's problems originate from an official statement made by Donald Trump in which he added it to the list of firms restricted from trading with the US. Following this order Google said it would comply and in turn restricted Huawei's access to the Android system. You can only imagine the consequences. It means future users of Huawei smartphones will not have access to such apps like Gmail, YouTube or Maps. The only way the Chinese giant can survive is to use the open source version of Android and create its own, entirely new environment. No matter how fast they do it they still have to persuade users to it and users will have to like it more than the well-established products of the competition. Over the last years Huawei has grown into one of key players on the market and keeping that pace of development it could soon be number 1 smartphone producer in the world. The current turbulence will surely have impact on this.
FIRST POLISH SEXTUPLETS
Filip, Kaja, Nela, Malwina, Tymon, Zosia – these are the names of the first sextuplets ever born in Poland. Pregnancy like this is extremely rare, it happens once in 4.7 billion cases. The happy parents come from Tylmanowa in Lesser Poland and the kids were born in a hospital in Cracow. The kids were born early, in 29th week of pregnancy, on May 20, 2019. The smallest one weighed just 890 grams, the biggest one 1300 grams. Four of them breathe on their own, two need a life-support machine. The newly-borns have a 2.5 year old brother. The family whose life changed beyond recognition overnight receives a lot of help from many sides. To enable them to travel together PKO BP Foundation and PFR bought them a new car (a 9 seat Volkswagen Transporter), authorities of Cracow rented a flat for them so that they can easily visit their kids, companies and institutions offer furniture, beds, cosmetics, diapers and many more. The sextuplets will have to stay in the hospital for at least 2-3 months.
A SURFACE AND UNDERWATER DUO GETS TO THE BOTTOM OF THINGS
With today's level of technology sophistication our planet has no more new places or resources to discover, right? Well, it turns out there is one area that is still a mystery to us: so far only 20% of the ocean floor has been mapped to a satisfying level of detail. Naturally, seafloor maps are important for navigation, laying cables and pipelines, fisheries (fish gather around underwater mountains), as well as predicting climate change (oceans move heat around the planet). Therefore the UNESCO-founded non-profit organization called GEBCO (General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans) came up with the "Seabed 2030" challenge, which hopes "to bring together all available data to produce the definitive map of the world ocean floor by 2030 and make it available to all." In order to meet the challenge a competition was set up ($7M Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE) and on Friday, May 31 2019 its winners were announced. The winner (behind a 14-member scientist team) was an extraordinary robotic duo: an AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle) and a USV (uncrewed surface vessel). The USV (obviously) deployed and recovered the AUV. In the competition final on the Mediterranean (in just 24 hours) they both managed to cover an area of 278 sq km, produce a depth map and take more than 10 high-res images of geological features of the seabed. Actually, that very same USV became famous already three weeks ago when it carried oysters and beer between Belgium and England – the first water robot to complete a commercial cargo run across the North Sea.
THE DEADLIEST EVEREST YET
Mt. Everest, at 8848 metres above sea level the world's highest mountain, never really leaves the headlines. It was named (within the English-speaking world) after Sir George Everest, a British surveyor who mapped India, and was climbed (Everest, not Sir George) for the first time by Sir Edmund Hillary and the Nepali-Indian Sherpa Tenzing Norgay in 1953. Since then several hundred thousand people have climbed it and several hundred have died on it. So far this season (which is only a couple weeks old) 11 climbers lost their lives the mountain, which makes it the deadliest stretch ever in such a short timespan. That number, along with some incredible photographs of people queuing for hundreds of metres just short of the summit, brought the media spotlight back to the issue of safety. The Nepalese government issued a record number of permits this (and last) year and experienced climbers complain that the locals only care about profits and are letting too many inexperienced people near the death zone, where oxygen levels are the third of what they are at sea level. The Nepalese are happy to play the blame game, claiming that the expedition companies for whom they issue permits take too many inexperienced clients to Everest.

From Ukraine to Port Arthur
By Savanah Tillberg
It's been 38 years in the making, but author Patricia Caine is now ready to release the story of her family's history in Canada—and incidentally, an integral part of the history of the community of Current River—in her book Gedo's Hammer, Baba's Borscht: Raising a Family in Current River 1929–1989. The story begins in 1912, when Caine's father, Ivan Rusnak, immigrated to Canada from Ukraine. Her mother, Annie, immigrated from Ukraine in 1926 and met Ivan in Port Arthur. Over the following 77 years, Caine's father worked on the railroads, in the paper mill, owned a logging property, aided in the construction and development of several Current River homes, ran a successful motel, and built a beautiful family with his wife.
In 1983, while Caine's parents were visiting her in Mississauga, she decided that she would sit them down and record their stories of immigrating to Canada and building their lives. "I got their stories down, but unfortunately I made the big mistake of putting the tapes away with the intention of transcribing them later," Caine explains. "And then it got later, and later, and later […] and then I realised that those tape recordings are not going to keep forever." In 2011, in preparation for a family reunion, Caine transcribed her father's stories and then her mother's the following year.
Throughout the process of transcribing and organizing the events of her parent's lives, Caine realized how the history of Thunder Bay—specifically the relationships that were transforming between the existing communities in the area—could be seen through her family's experience. After several years of research, and in addition to her family's stories and a handful of Ukrainian recipes, Caine wove in historic accounts of the construction and transformation of the Thunder Bay area into the book. "I wanted to write about Port Arthur, Fort William, and Current River the way that they were before my parents came to the Lakehead," Caine adds, "so that people can gain a sense of the rivalry that existed there and how Current River played a part in bringing the other two together." In the face of hardship and adversity, both Caine's family and the wider community grew into something of beauty.
Caine hopes her book will inspire people to not forget their heritage and to seek out and learn their family's stories, recipes, and histories before it's too late. For those with an interest in learning more about the history of Current River and the Rusnak family, Gedo's Hammer, Baba's Borscht can be purchased online from the Thunder Bay Museum.

Star-crossed lovers Jomana (Nicole Chamoun) and Rami (Osamah Sami) face a hopeless impasse. The Palestinian cause brings together the Gazan journalist and the American-born Palestinian doctor, but is also what threatens to keep them apart.
Like recent Palestinian film Omar (2013), many artists are exploring the current state of the conflict through the frame of divided young love. This is a generation who've grown up under various states of occupation, with internet access allowing them to interact with the world beyond their borders.
Some of playwright Samah Sabawi's poetry is heavy-handed, but there are raw emotions propelling the drama. Director Lech Mackiewicz extracts moving performances from a large cast, with singer Aseel Tayah's wistful dirge echoing throughout.
Sabawi's nuanced exploration of the myriad ways the occupation affects Palestinians at home and abroad could only be drawn from first-hand experiences. Those who've managed to escape find themselves suspended between two worlds, while for those who stay their roots are one of the only things they have left.
Set during the 2008 Gaza war, the play speaks to this year's hostilities just as strongly. Sabawi's focus extends beyond the political to people battling for normalcy – and managing to find humour – when the future is so uncertain. Funerals and marriages become a part of daily life.
Jomana finds solace from documenting the bloodshed.
"One more dead baby and the world will rise," she prays.
Despite its flaws, this gripping play is an act of resistance that implores its audience to take heed.

Signalman's Nightmare (Signed by Author)
Author: Adrian Vaughan (signed)
Format: Paperback, 190 pages
Signalman's Nightmare by Adrian Vaughan signed edition. Signalman's Nightmare is the third volume of Adrian Vaughan's memories of his career on the Western Region of British Railways.
The book begins in 1962 at Challow and starts with a confession of his terrible contravention of the regulations brought about by an intense desire not to delay a passenger train. He learned a strong lesson there. The story moves on to mourn the passing of steam haulage with some good tales of gallant rescues of failed diesel locomotives by steam engines not far off being scrapped. For three years, Adrian worked at Uffington, which was the interface between the new signalling system, centred on Reading 'Panel'. He tells of how Western Region permitted situations to arise that breached the semaphore signalling regulations – and what he did about it.
Automated signalling gave rise to derailments, one of which happened at Uffington while Adrian was on duty. From Uffington he moved to Oxford's signal boxes in 1968. In 1973, assailed once more by automation, he headed westwards into Somerset. Here he worked busy junction signal boxes with some fine ex-GWR and Somerset & Dorset Railway signalmen. The final chapter is bittersweet. The Somerset railway was idyllic but times they were a-changin'. Another automation scheme was looming, and Adrian had no intention of taking up a post in that. Then, in the sweltering heat of the summer of 1975, he made one last mistake –
Blissful Ignorance
Scrapping Steam
Cause for Concern
Shifts with Shunters
Lineside Policeman
Accidents Averted
Somerset Signalman
Broken Rail

Following a bye week and a week off of school, the men and women's Huskies basketball teams were well prepared and rested for the visiting University of Winnipeg Wesmen.
Looking back on 2013/2014 for the Huskies.
Every March, 64 college basketball teams from across the United States compete for the National Championship in the March Madness tournament.
The University of Saskatchewan Huskies men's basketball team returned home from Nationals with a fifth place finish.
The Huskies women's basketball team proved they are the best in the west after claiming the Canada West title, and will advance to the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championship to face off against the best teams in the country.
The Huskies men's basketball team will return from the Canada West final four tournament with bronze medals in tow.
After a slow start the Huskies women's basketball team came back to defeat the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds and advance to the Canada West final four. The Dogs lost the opening game but recovered to win the next two.
A spot in the Canada West semi-final is on the line when the Huskies meet the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds Feb. 28 – March 2 in Vancouver, B.C. The two teams met once previously this season on Jan. 11, when the Dogs snuck out a 55-53 win.
The Huskies men's basketball team earned their spot in the Canada West final four after defeating the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack. The Dogs downed the WolfPack 82-68 on Feb. 21 and 84-71 on Feb. 23 in the Physical Activity Complex to win series 2-0.

Q: Apply timezone to timestamp I have an api which is currently returning a UTC timestamp in the following format
2022-09-11T14:29:55.343Z

And In my frontend application, if I call .toUTCString() I get the following
Sun, 11 Sep 2022 14:29:55 GMT

Which is nice and "human readable"
From the same api, I am can also get a "timezoneOffset" which I need to apply to this if it is present, and that comes back as a string in the following format
"+02"
(note that this can also come in minus formats also)
My first reaction is to substring the first element of the above to find out if it's a + or -, and then perform the relevant operation with the "number" part.
Very roughly, that would give me something like this (with rawDate being the value at the top of the question, and the + and number being worked out from the timezoneOffset value)
const newDate = new Date(rawDate.setHours(rawDate.getHours() + number)).toUTCString())

which will render out the following
Sun, 11 Sep 2022 16:29:55 GMT

The time is now obviously correct, but as this is a modified version of the UTC timestamp, the time zone hasn't really been applied.
is there a built in way to "apply" a time zone to a timestamp which is in UTC format, or is there a library that I can use with the above vales? I started to look into moment.js but a lot of the posts around that seem to suggest it is now deprecated, and it feels a little overkill as my application only has a few places where data formatting is needed.

Welcome to lavender bliss. With all of the lavender we have in our yard, it makes perfect sense to display a pretty table with these beautiful flowers.
It makes for a lovely display in a pretty vase.
Lots of Lavender on this table fresh from our garden.
A simple arrangement I put together .
I made these Blueberry Lavender scones. This is the very first time I made scones. I really like them when they are warm.
An updated picture of the baby hummingbird. I guess the other egg did not hatch. They usually have two eggs. The baby is becoming more alert now. This nest is at my parent's house, close to their front door. I really don't understand this choice of location, since the rose bush is not full. I was concerned about the rains, so I put an umbrella over the rose bush.
Our property is so green right now after all of the rain. Love this time of year.
Such a pretty table - I loved a lavender plant however I am not fond of the scent! I would love sitting at this table enjoying such a pretty setting - and the scones look delish! What a cute little hummingbird, and I agree, what a strange place to nest!
Such a beautiful tablescape! And blueberry lavender scones! You know what else is nice with lavender in it? Shortbread.
Like always, so pretty! The baby birds are sweet.
Love, love, love this setting with all the purple, Linda! Very pretty!
Lavender is my favorite color! It is nice to see that you are enjoying some of the fresh lavender as well. Very pretty!
Your lavendar table is breath taking Linda! Your scones look very tempting too and that baby bird, incredible!
Beautiful table, Linda! Love the dishes!!! Love seeing the baby hummingbird!!! Have a beautiful week!
Ooh I love those dishes and all the lavender! I really love the smell of lavender so I would enjoy this a lot! The blueberry lavender scones must have been delicious! That little hummer is too cute!
I love your beautiful table Linda! Purple/lavender is my favorite color! Everything is perfect! I'm not sure where you live, but I would love to have a lavender landscape.
I LOVE your lavender Tablescape! It is wonderful, like the landscap you live! Thank you for all the lovely pictures!
The baby bird is too cute and such a perfect nest!!
What a lovely lavender tablescape, Linda. I'll bet your home smells heavenly with the vase filled with lavender! I loved seeing the hummingbird that you shared...so sweet!
You table setting is gorgeous as always Linda. I've never seen so many different plates-these are beautiful.
I love the baby Hummingbird! So precious. We used to have birds next in wreaths on our front door-I'd have to block on the walkway so people wouldn't disturb the babies. Birds pick the weirdest places to nest.
I can smell it from here Linda! It is gorgeous.
What a pretty, pretty table, Linda. I have a lavender guest room. I find it restful and beautiful. I need to plant a new lavender and rosemary plant this year. I left mine out too long and they got hit by a hard frost and it killed them. Darn it!!
Your table is beautiful! Your land, well I would grow me some grapes! Just sayin!
Beautiful table, Linda. I love lavender! I have a small mound growing but doesn't get many blooms. I keep dried lavender around in the house. It is so soothing to my senses.
Linda, your table is positively stunning. Lavender is one of my favorite plants. Hope you have a great weekend.
I never seen real lavender flower and this creation of yours is so pretty. The scone is calling my name..
Such a beautiful table with your lavender. I love your collection of lavender colored candlesticks and glasses. It can fit in with so many styles. I love to use lavender in my lemonade. I am hoping to grow more.
What a gorgeous post! My favorite colors. Your design elements are amazing. Love your photo's too! You captured some good shots.

Nation:

Jesse Owens, född 12 september 1913 i Oakville, Alabama (men uppväxt i Cleveland, Ohio), död 31 mars 1980 i Tucson, Arizona, var en amerikansk friidrottare. Han tog fyra guld vid OS 1936 och slog under karriären åtta individuella världsrekord.

Biografi
Jesse Owens anses vara en av de allra främsta idrottsmännen genom tiderna, oavsett idrott. Han slog åtta individuella världsrekord, alla under åren 1935 och 1936. Sex av dessa rekord sattes inom en tidsrymd av 45 minuter den 25 maj 1935.

OS 1936
Karriärens absoluta höjdpunkt var OS 1936 i Berlin när han tog 4 guld – 100 meter, 200 meter, längdhopp och korta stafetten 4x100 meter.

Owens gratulerades inte personligen av Tysklands diktator Adolf Hitler. Hitler var närvarande den 2 augusti 1936 och gratulerade personligen de tyska guldmedaljörerna. Han lämnade dock stadion före prisutdelningen för den afroamerikanske guldmedaljören Cornelius Johnson. Dagen därpå informerades Hitler av IOK att han bröt mot de internationella olympiska reglerna genom att bara ta emot vissa vinnare. Han fick välja mellan att personligen gratulera alla, eller att inte gratulera någon, och valde då att inte gratulera någon vinnare. Då Jesse Owens tog sitt guld den 3 augusti hade Hitler bestämt sig för att inte gratulera någon deltagare i mästerskapet. Jesse Owens avslöjar i sin självbiografi från 1970 att Hitler vinkade åt honom när han passerade och att han vinkat tillbaka, något som hans egen ledare, Franklin D. Roosevelt, inte bekymrade sig om att göra när Owens återvände hem till USA som en vinnare. Roosevelt oroade sig för reaktionerna från sydstaterna och bekymrade sig inte med att gratulera en folkhjälte.

Världsrekord och konkurrens
Owens satte ett flertal världsrekord. Hans rekord i längdhopp (8,13) från 1935 överträffades inte förrän 1960, och det var vid utgången av 2010 fortfarande det världsrekord för män i grenar ingående på det internationella mästerskapsprogrammet som stått sig längst.

Trots Owens resultat var hans ställning i USA som sin tids bäste inte obestridd. Det år Owens satte sina världsrekord (1935) fick han brons på 100 meter (10,3) och silver i längd (7,98) vid de amerikanska mästerskapen. Vann i bägge grenarna (10,2 resp 8,00) gjorde Eulace Peacock, som skadade sig så allvarligt senare under säsongen att han inte kunde delta vid olympiska spelen 1936. Totalt slutade säsongen 1935 med 7–3 till Peacock i inbördes möten.

Senare år
Jesse Owens rökte dagligen i 35 år och drabbades av lungcancer. Han avled vid en ålder av 66 år i Tucson, Arizona. Owens ligger begraven i Oak Woods Cemetery i Chicago.

Gambit was always one of my favourite X-Men. Sure he had a troubled past, with the whole Morlock Massacre by the Marauders and his on again and off again relationship with Rogue, but he sure was cool looking.
Whaddya mean I'm a geek?
Moving on, Yumeleona23 has immortalised Remy LeBeau with this fantastic cross stitch, complete with playing card frame. It's a great piece of stitchery!
I've got a feeling she made it from scratch!


Paul Litchy's backyard at the end of a modern-day Franklin cul-de-sac was once a stomping ground for ice age man and beast.
This week, his backyard became one of 11 places added to the National Register of Historic Places by the state Historical Commission.
An archaeological excavation last fall turned up the bones, artifacts and animal remains that archaeologists now say prove human activity occurred here before 12,000 B.C. Litchy's property — known as the Coats-Hines site — is one of the two oldest human settlements documented in Tennessee.
But Litchy, a part-time civil and environmental engineering instructor at Vanderbilt University, knew nothing of the land's historic significance when he bought the property in 1998. Today, he's low-key about the artifacts, some of which are less than 1/8th of an inch in size.
The other oldest human settlement in Tennessee is known as the Johnson Site, along the Cumberland River east of Nashville.
Since the first excavations began here in 1977, the property has made archaeologists such as Aaron Deter-Wolf beam because the artifacts show so much about life at the end of the last ice age.
The discovery of the bones last fall means more excavations are ahead for the property. Archaeologists from the Center for the Study of the First Americans at Texas A&M are planning excavations at the site.
Excavations at the property in 1994 revealed the only known example in the southeastern U.S. of mastodon remains directly associated with human-made stone tools in an undisturbed context, according to Deter-Wolf, state prehistoric archaeologist.
Last fall, archaeologists and students from Middle Tennessee State University turned up human artifacts, pollen samples and more than 1,500 animal bones that can be traced to a variety of species. Ultimately tests on last fall's samples put early humans at the site before 12,000 B.C.
While the bones and artifacts are important, the Coats-Hines site is nationally significant because it is a rare instance in which archaeologists can show ancient people interacting with animals and their context.
Archaeologists believe there was a pond in Litchy's backyard where animals were killed by hunters.
Those animals included mastodons — elephant-like creatures related to woolly mammoths. Crews have recovered bones from three mastodons at the site.
Litchy's listing on the National Register of Historic Places doesn't restrict how he might use his property in the future, though it does provide a measure of protection for the site if there is a project that will use federal funding or licensing, said Claudette Stager, preservation specialist with the state Historical Commission.
Only time will tell if the presence of mastodons in the backyard increases the value of Litchy's house.


If enough people commit to a $1/day ($30/month) gift to CAIR-Chicago, all of our key projects will have sufficient and steady funding to be seen through successfully.
CAIR Chicago is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. Though our projects and services are numerous, diverse, and of great relevance to the well-being of the Muslim-American community and society at large, we do not have a steady source of income to fund our efforts. We do not sell our services, all our work is done pro-bono. Consequently, we depend solely on the generosity of the friends and allies of CAIR-Chicago to keep the organization up and running.
CAIR-Chicago is a grassroots organization; therefore, it only makes sense for its work to be funded through a grassroots support network.
Defending, and advocating for, the civil rights of Muslims in America.
Engaging and challenging the media's false -- and anti-Muslim -- representation projects of the Muslim community.
Involving the Muslim community in the American political process towards securing their full rights.
Challenging the bias and sensationalism that targets Muslims – be it from Washington or Hollywood.
Your monthly gifts will go a long way in benefiting the Muslim community and making America a better place for all of us. If only 2,250 people signed up, our entire budget would be met! Please make a pledge today.
We also accept mail-in checks, please make payable to CAIR Chicago and send to: 17 N State St. Suite 1500 - Chicago, IL 60602. You may also call us, to make a credit card donation by phone, at 312-212-1520.


Do I Need To Winterize My Boat in California?
If you're an East Coast or Midwest boat owner, chances are you prepared your boat for the winter back in September or October. Here in Southern California we rarely need to worry about winter weather. However, even though in most cases it is not necessary to winterize your boat in California, we recently interviewed an experienced boater – and one of our favorite clients – who keeps his powerboat in Anacortes, Washington, to see what winterizing entailed. We wanted to know why boaters should put time and effort into a boat they won't be using for a number of months!
As it turns out, winter weather can wreak havoc on a boat that's not properly prepared for hibernation. We're talking cracked blocks, corrosion, clogged filters, engine issues, and more.
Flush the sea water systems with fresh water. This would include engine and generator cooling, and air conditioners. Here is a Youtube video of properly flushing an outboard from Boats.com.
Wash down the heads with fresh water, and flush the sinks and showers. If temps drop below freezing (not likely in SB) these systems should also be flushed with anti-freeze. Clean and dry the bilge.
If the boat gets hauled out, the bottom should be pressure washed. A proper bottom scrub will prevent lots of future issues! In the Spring be sure to install new zincs.
Change fluids and filters. We recommend changing the engine oil, generator oil, transmission fluid, and other filters, so fresh fluids are in the units during the inactive months. Fill the fuel tank and fuel stabilizer. Check coolant level.
Guard against dampness! Low temperatures and wet weather can lead to mildew and mold. Remove any unnecessary fabric (blankets, towels, rugs, cushions). Drying chemicals, heaters, incandescent lights, and dehumidifiers can all help combat condensation. Open lockers for air flow and take home portable electronics.
We think the best place for your boat during the winter months is dry docked, undercover, in a climate-controlled storage area. However, this can be expensive or may not be available in your area. Another option would be to shrink-wrap your boat. At the very least, cover and secure the boat well with a sturdy tarp.
The time and effort you spend winterizing your boat in the Fall will have a direct effect on your boat's performance – or lack thereof – and will certainly save you time, effort and money come Spring. And that's a lesson all of us boat owners should learn…whether we're bundling up for a long winter or still enjoying the California sun.
If you have questions about winterizing your vessel, call us at (805)-965-4538 or email kkieding@chandlery.com. Our experienced staff can help guide you through the process so you can enjoy your boat for many Springs to come.

Q: What does (void)result; mean in android OpenSL example? In the android implementation of OpenSL ES, the following example code can be found in the android-ndk /samples/native-audio/jni/native-audio-jni.c
SLresult result;
result = slCreateEngine(&engineObject, 0, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL);
assert(SL_RESULT_SUCCESS == result);
(void)result;

The SLResult is defined to be of type SLuint32, which by definition is a 32-bit unsigned integer type.
My question is: what does the line (void)result; do? I thought this would do nothing, and a compiler could optimize this away. However, similar line appears in many places in the example, and I am left wondering whether it has some importance after all.

A: That kind of silly code is sometimes inserted to silence compiler or lint warnings, such as "variable result is not used" when assertion-checking is turned off.
I did not write the code, so I cannot be certain, but that is my guess.
