Each year, just as New Year's rolls around, I place this on the front page of my new diary so when I open it and read each line, it will help me to make my way through the on coming days of another year.
I pass this on to you, with hopes it will help you through each day.
The carpenter who I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse had just finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit and to end the day, his ancient truck refused to start.
While I drove him home, he sat in a stony silence. On arriving at his place, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked towards the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of its branches with both hands. After opening the door, he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles, he hugged his two small children, and gave his wife a kiss.
Afterwards, he walked me to my car. We passed the small tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.
"Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied. "I know I can have troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, troubles don't belong in my house with my wife and children.
"Funny thing is," he said with a smile. "When I come out in the morning to pick them up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before.

Prime Minister pays surprise visit
Prime Minister Boris Johnson paid a visit to Northamptonshire at the end of September where he met with Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner Stephen Mold, Deputy Chief Constable Simon Nickless and Assistant Chief Constable Simon Blatchly to discuss policing during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson on his visit to Northamptonshire Police Force Headquarters
The Prime Minister's visit was on the back of the Force's success in recruiting new officers and he met a group of new recruits before seeing the new fleet of Police Interceptor cars which hit the road in September.
Stephen Mold said: "It was great the Prime Minister acknowledged how well we are doing with recruitment and that the Force has pushed ahead with numbers, so we are well on the way to meeting our targets.
"We had already pledged to recruit an additional 83 police officers using our local council tax funding and we were very fortunate to benefit from more than 190 extra officers funded through the Government's uplift programme. This will take the Force to more than 1,500 officers by 2023 and make it the largest it has ever been."
Mr Mold also took the opportunity to ask the Prime Minister to consider making domestic violence a key local priority.
"I told Mr Johnson that not one body has overall responsibility for domestic violence and asked him to look at how we can ensure the work done to support victims and deter offenders is properly coordinated across the country."
Chief Fire Officer Darren Dovey continues to lead pandemic response
After a 33-year career as a firefighter, Chief Fire Officer Darren Dovey had planned to retire last month but has chosen to return to his role in leading and improving the county's Fire and Rescue Service.
Chief Fire Officer Darren Dovey
Northamptonshire PFCC Stephen Mold asked Darren to continue to steer Northamptonshire's Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) during this crucial time as the service responds to the ongoing pandemic and begins its performance improvement plan.
PFCC Stephen Mold said: "I believe that the county's fire service needs continuity and Darren will ensure that the NFRS is able to continue to improve on the fantastic contribution it has made throughout the uncertainty of the pandemic and beyond.
"Darren and his team have turned around the performance of NFRS in the last year, making major improvements to the service the public receive."
Darren was appointed Chief Fire Officer on 1 July 2016. He was born in London but has lived in Northampton since the age of 7, growing up and going to school in the Thorplands area. He joined Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue in 1987 and transferred to London Fire Brigade in 1999, moving to Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service in 2008 as an area manager. During his career he worked on the fire at Windsor Castle and was at Russell Square as part of the response to the 07/07 bombings in London. In 2005, he was press liaison officer at the scene of a fatal house fire in Stoke Newington in which three people died.
Darren said: "I postponed my retirement so that I could see NFRS through the change of governance and use the opportunity this gave us to invest in the service and push forward with improvements for the first time in many years.
"Thanks to the hard work of every member of the team, NFRS is providing an even better service and I am confident that we are on our way towards excellence. The next challenge will be to make better use of technology and share more buildings and support services with Northamptonshire Police."
Chief Fire Officer pledges continued fire service improvement as incident response times fall
Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service is responding to calls for service more quickly than at any time in the last five years, with response times now averaging below ten minutes to fire incidents and road traffic collisions across the county.
The number of fire engines available to attend incidents has also improved significantly, with at least 14 pumps now available always, whereas last year 14 pumps were only available for 87% of the time.
The latest figures confirm the improvements highlighted by HMICFRS in a letter to the the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Stephen Mold and the Chief Fire Officer Darren Dovey.
The figures from the first quarter of the 2020/21 financial year, which includes the pandemic lockdown, show that:
Chief Fire Officer Darren Dovey commented: "With the Covid-19 pandemic, this year has been a tough one for all emergency services and the public. It has been so important for us to have the right people and resources in place to be able to offer our "business as usual" service, but also to go the extra mile and support partners in ways we haven't done before, such as ambulance driving for East Midlands Ambulance Service."
Stephen Mold, Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, said: "I'm proud to see the hard work the senior officers, firefighters and service as a whole have put into ensuring the safety provision for the county continues to improve."
Growing network of ANPR, Coming Soon!
The first of the county's new network of ANPR cameras will be put in place next month.
Police Interceptor vehicle equipped with ANPR
In a major, £1.3 million investment from the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Stephen Mold, significantly more than 100 new cameras, both fixed and mobile, will join the county's existing network, strengthening the policing response and helping to make Northamptonshire a hostile place for criminals.
The new, fixed cameras are set to be installed on the major strategic routes and at the county borders, in rural communities and in major towns such as Northampton and Rushden.
The plan also includes between 10 and 15 mobile spike cameras that will be deployed according to operational need in areas where there is no fixed camera coverage. Mobile ANPR capacity in cars will also be significantly increased, supporting the Road Crime Team and the new rapid response interceptor fleet.
The ANPR investment will significantly strengthen the tools available to help the police fight crime and keep the county safe.
New Police Interceptors set to be driving force to tackle road crime
A sparkling new fleet of Police Interceptor vehicles was unveiled this month to enhance the work of the Force's Road Crime Team to deny criminals the use of the road.
Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Stephen Mold has invested around £300,000 in the new fleet, which is made up of eight Skoda Octavia VRS Estate TDi vehicles. Each have the capabilities of high-performance cars and have been fitted with latest technology and kit. The vehicles will be used by the Northamptonshire Police Interceptors Team, which is made up of highly trained Response officers across the Force. The vehicles will give officers the capabilities to intercept known vehicles and criminals and target hotspots to make the county's roads safer.
Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner, Stephen Mold, said: "This is another major investment in policing in Northamptonshire, which gives officers more tools and capacity to respond robustly to those who use the county's road network to commit crime. "Taken together with the increased number of police officers and our plans to enormously expand our ANPR network, these investments support the Force's plans to crack down even harder on crime and will really benefit people across the county."
Smoke hoods part of Grenfell improvements
Thousands of pounds in post-Grenfell funding has been secured to be spent on kitting every fire engine in the county with fire escape hoods to keep people safe during fire evacuations.
Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) has bought 120 fire escape hoods, which can be placed over the heads of members of the public to help stop them from breathing in toxic gases and will be used in incidents where firefighters need to wear breathing apparatus.
The single-use lightweight hoods provide up to 15 minutes protection, reducing the exposure and making it less dangerous for the public when firefighters must lead them to safety through smoke-filled buildings.
These fluorescent, respirator devices will not be used in every fire, but will be deployed where appropriate to support rescues and evacuations.
Chief Fire Officer Darren Dovey said: "One of the challenges for firefighters in evacuating buildings is ensuring the public are as safe as possible, even when passing down staircases, through hallways or other areas filled with toxic smoke.
"These hoods are a welcome addition to our appliances as they really will provide a life-line and help the public, preventing them absorbing the gases and improving our chances of saving lives."
Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Stephen Mold said: "Many people don't think about the huge risk that comes with smoke, but toxic fumes can have a devastating impact on a person's ability to escape safely.
"I'm pleased to see these potentially life-saving hoods in service, giving firefighters another tool in their work to keep Northamptonshire safe."
Grants awarded to support communities in Northamptonshire
The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner continues to support projects that help to make our county safer, with more than £35,000 being awarded to organisations in the most recent round of funding.
Supt Kevin Mullighan, PCSO Ian Shelton, Pineham Locks NHW Coordinator, Pineham Locks resident and PFCC Stephen Mold
The Northamptonshire Neighbourhood Watch Association was awarded £9,500 for Operation Target, which aims to reduce crime and build stronger and safer communities in crime hot spot areas.
There are over 1,200 Neighbourhood Watch schemes in Northamptonshire, with over 40,000 members.
Alan Earle, Neighbourhood Watch Chairman, said: "We know that a well-run scheme with effective communication about concerns in the community, crime prevention information, and a good working relationship with the local Neighbourhood Policing Team has resulted in reducing crime by 30% in some areas."
The Good Loaf was awarded just over £9,000 to deliver a 10-week project that aims to improve the wellbeing of vulnerable women while teaching baking skills and provide a toolkit to enhance their mental health. CEO of The Good Loaf, Suzy Van Rooyen said: "We are absolutely delighted to have been awarded these funds to make this group possible. Local vulnerable women may need this support more than ever during these difficult times and we are all very grateful to the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner's Office. It has not been an easy year for anyone, least of all for those who may have been affected by domestic abuse or addiction."
Creating Equalz was also successful in its bid to the Commissioner's Making Northamptonshire Safer fund, for just under £9,500. Training and resources will be provided to primary and secondary schools in the county, to help them identify additional risks that girls from practicing FGM communities will face during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Ashton Parish Council and Cottingham Parish Council were successful in their bids to the Commissioner's Road Safety fund and will use the money to install speed control devices in areas of concern.
New help for parents affected by abuse from children
Voice for Victims and Witnesses – the free, confidential support service for victims and witnesses of crime in Northamptonshire – has released the Voice Child-on-Parent Abuse app and Domestic Abuse Support Site, to help people affected by abuse to cope and seek support.
The Child-on-Parent Abuse application
Since lockdown began, abuse cases within the home have nearly doubled in the county, with child-on-parent abuse – an often overlooked form of physical, emotional or financial control – having also seen increases.
Voice – which has been operational throughout lockdown – wants to break down barriers for those needing support and make people aware of new techniques that can help families.
The new support resource, available at voicenorthants.org/support, is being promoted county-wide across social media and in high-footfall locations, in order to ensure that families are aware of the support mechanisms available.
All support given by Voice is free, confidential and people don't have to have reported any crime to the police.
CEO of Voice, Fiona Campbell, said: "Since lockdown began we've seen a sharp rise in domestic abuse cases within the county and we have been looking for new ways to support people beyond traditional methods.
"The Child-on-Parent Abuse app has been created to offer another branch of support to families and make people aware of new and innovative techniques being used where traditional approaches have failed.
"I'd like to reassure anyone who is in need of support that we're here for them, whenever they're ready. Our phonelines are open and we offer both telephone and online support to anyone who needs us."
PFCC's team celebrate Youth Work Week
The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner's Youth Service celebrated national Youth Work Week and shared some of the work they have been involved in during 2020. Early support for young people is at the very heart of the Commissioner's Police, Fire and Crime Plan for the county.
Since their launch in January, the team of 12 specialists have worked throughout the pandemic, to identify meaningful support for 2,221 young people.
The team has supported vulnerable young people in learning to keep safe, working with them on themes such as emotional well-being, positive and healthy relationships, gang awareness, knife crime and the impact of drugs and alcohol misuse.
Focus on safety of people in police custody
Much of normal life came to a pause in March 2020, however police custody could not stop and neither could the PFCC's Independent Custody Visiting (ICV) scheme, which relies on the support of volunteers to check on the welfare of people detained in police custody.
Independent Custody Visitors virtual meeting
ICV volunteers are five months into a different way of working to ensure the vital scheme in Northamptonshire continues. Like many during the Covid-19 pandemic, they have turned to remote methods to carry out their role as safely as possible. After physical ICV visits were suspended to minimise the risk of spreading the virus, it was important to maintain a form of independent oversight of Police custody and a way of bringing an independent perspective to the custody process.
ICVs now call the Criminal Justice Centre in Northampton and the Weekley Woods Justice Centre in Kettering once a week to speak to people detained there over the phone. They ask about their wellbeing and ensure they have understood and received their rights and entitlements, with a focus on access to safeguards and support, as well as hygiene measures. Any issues raised are reported to the Custody Inspector and OPFCC.
Since June, ICV volunteers have spoken with 32 detainees over the phone and no serious concerns have been raised.
PFCC Stephen Mold said: "The ICV scheme is a statutory requirement and an important part of the work of the Office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner. The team of volunteers provide public reassurance by assisting in the scrutiny of police performance.
"The ICVs that agreed to take on this new, temporary approach have adapted really well, and I am very thankful to those that are continuing to volunteer remotely so that independent checks can still take place during this challenging time."
ICV Jo Espin reflects on the changes: "I agreed to do remote custody visits because I thought it could be a long time before we would be able to carry out visits in person, and meanwhile police custody would still see many people coming through its doors.
"Rapport and trust can be established much more quickly when meeting people in person. However, telephone visits are a useful tool for now. At a time when police methods in the UK and wider world are under scrutiny in the wake of different events, yet custody suites are behind closed doors even more than usual due to the pandemic restrictions, remote visits give detainees the opportunity to describe how they are being looked after, and to have issues raised and dealt with. It also allows us to acknowledge examples of good police practice."

Fauci to have first 'substantive discussions' with Biden team
White House coronavirus task force member Dr Anthony Fauci will meet members of President-elect Joe Biden's team on Thursday after President Donald Trump's administration delayed the transition process for weeks amid a coronavirus surge across the United States.
Fauci has already met with incoming White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, he told CBS News in an interview on Thursday but pointed out the meeting will be first "substantive discussions" he will have with Biden's team.
Fauci said he will be meeting them virtually and it "will be the first day where there will be substantive discussions about the transition between me and the Biden team".
"I'm very pleased that today we're having the first discussion about a number of things, vaccinations and things like that," Fauci said.
He has become the most high-profile member of the White House task force in the months since the pandemic began, often clashing with Trump on how to protect Americans.
Fauci, who is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the US National Institutes of Health, told CBS he will remain in his position, as he is a career government official.
Biden, however, does have several other top healthcare roles to fill as he builds his administration.
Already one prominent candidate to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has faded from the scene. New Mexico Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham was offered another Cabinet post — interior secretary — and turned it down, a person close to the Biden transition told The Associated Press news agency on Wednesday. That person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. Lujan Grisham's office had no comment.
Biden is expected to announce his choice for HHS secretary next week. That person has to have "the confidence of the president, the ability to operate collaboratively across the government, credibility within the health care world, and the capacity to work with the states," said former HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt, who served under Republican President George W Bush.
Rhode Island Democratic Governor Gina Raimondo has emerged as a focus of attention for the top health job. Although Raimondo has been aggressive in confronting the virus, her state is facing a dangerous surge and struggling to flatten the curve. Separately, Raimondo's business-friendly orientation may raise objections from the left flank of the Democratic Party.
Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo is reportedly being considered as Biden's Health and Human Services secretary [File: David Goldman/AP Photo]Also in the running is former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, co-chair of Biden's coronavirus task force. Murthy has a soft-spoken demeanour and a reputation for consensus-building. He is the author of a recent book addressing the human toll of loneliness, a problem that has become more widely recognised in the time of COVID-19.
Also reportedly being considered for HHS secretary, former US Surgeon General Dr Vivek Murthy [File: Democratic National Convention via AP]Alongside his health secretary, Biden is expected to name a top-level White House adviser to coordinate the government's extensive coronavirus response. Vaccines developed under the Trump administration will be delivered on Biden's watch, a massive undertaking that is bound to have its share of logistical problems. Democratic health policy experts say the leading candidate is businessman Jeff Zients, an economic adviser in the Obama White House who was widely credited with rescuing HealthCare.gov after its disastrous launch in 2013.
Keeping the focus on the virus, Biden is also said to be close to nominating a commissioner for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and a director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Under consideration for FDA are former deputy commissioner Dr Joshua Sharfstein, who has also served as Maryland's health secretary, and Dr Luciana Borio, a member of Biden's coronavirus advisory board who formerly held senior posts with the FDA and the National Security Council and has expertise in responding to disease outbreaks and bioterrorism.
Being considered for CDC director is Dr Julie Morita, a top executive of the nonprofit Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which works across a broad range of health care issues. Morita spent nearly 20 years in leadership jobs with the Chicago public health department, rising from medical director to commissioner.

As Byrne looks to 2020, he confronts the ghosts of 2010
Then & Now: (Left) Bradly Byrne, with wife Rebecca, concedes after losing the Republican primary for governor on Tuesday, July 13, 2010. (Right) Rebecca Byrne introduces her husband during his announcement on Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2019, that he is running for the U.S. Senate in 2020. (John Sharp/jsharp@al.com).
By John Sharp | jsharp@al.com
The last time Bradley Byrne ran a statewide contest in a Republican Party primary, he was tripped up by a Democrat.
That was a decade ago when Byrne, then the favorite to win the 2010 Alabama governor's race, was slammed by a barrage of negative ads that hit the airwaves backed by the Alabama Education Association and its former longtime leader, Paul Hubbert.
"We had one person against me in 2010 who had a lot of money," Byrne said Wednesday, after he officially announced his intentions of running for the U.S. Senate in 2020 during a rally at Wintzell's Oyster House in downtown Mobile. "We were not able to get out adequately to the people of Alabama to say those things they were running against me were really coming from the person who was the vice-chairman of the state Democratic Party."
Byrne added, "I think we'll see that again and this time, we can point out that it is not a conservative talking to you, or a Republican talking to you, but that it's an operative of the liberal wing of the Democratic party. The people (will) know that they are trying to run fake news on us."
Indeed, Byrne said he is confident the same hiccups that doomed his governor's campaign a decade ago will not return during what could be one of the most expensive political contests in state history.
For one, the AEA is a shell of its former powerful self. The group's authority diminished while Hubbert was in charge and after Republicans took over the Legislature in 2010.
Hubbert, himself, stepped down from his role with the AEA in 2011. He died at the age of 78 in 2014.
But in that 2010 governor's race, Hubbert's influence loomed large as the AEA's political action committee doled out hundreds of thousands of dollars in negative ads targeting Byrne.
Byrne, at that time, held policy positions unpopular with the AEA such as support for public charter schools and changes to teacher tenure law and pay. He also often lashed out at the AEA while serving as chancellor of the state's two-year college system, as a state senator and as a state school board member.
The negative ads worked: Though Byrne got the most votes during the June 1, 2010, primary, he finished well-behind Bentley in runoff and lost 56.1 to 43.9 percent.
Democratic Sen. Doug Jones' campaign has already seized on the loss as a potential issue to wedge against Byrne during the primary.
Jones's campaign, in a statement Wednesday, referred to the loss as a reason why they think "it's hard to see why (Republicans) would nominate a career politician like Bradley Byrne now."
Angi Stalnaker, a GOP political strategist, who was Bentley's 2010 campaign manager, remembers Byrne's campaign tactics that year as inefficient and not suited for a statewide campaign.
"In 2010, he relied on tactics that were better suited to a local legislative or small congressional district race rather than a strong statewide race," Stalnaker said.
Byrne said he's confident in the team he's building ahead of a lengthy campaign, though he declined to name who will be managing his campaign operation.
Said Byrne, "Having gone into that experience in 2010, I know what to look for. I know what will happen and what the pacing will be. I'm just not worried about it."
Perfect record
Byrne's political track record since the 2010 loss has been perfect. He finished first in a nine candidate GOP race during the 2013 special election to fill the 1st congressional seat vacated by former Rep. Jo Bonner – now Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey's chief of staff – after he left to take a job as Vice Chancellor of Economic Development for the University of Alabama Systems.
Byrne then defeated Orange Beach developer Dean Young, a close ally with former Alabama State Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, in the Nov. 5, 2013, primary runoff.
The campaign between Byrne and Young was heated at times and the contest drew national attention. Media outlets outside Alabama labeled Byrne as the "establishment" Republican against Young, who was referred to as the tea party darling.
Byrne wound up winning by five percentage points before cruising to victory over Democrat Burton LeFlore in the general election.
Byrne has since rolled to easy re-election victories in subsequent years – in 2016, he crushed Young by a 60.1 to 39.9 percent election during the Republican primary. He faced no opposition in last year's Republican primary. In November's general election, Byrne soundly defeated Democrat Robert Kennedy Jr. by a 63.2 to 36.8 percent differential.
Stalnaker said Byrne has proven to be a reliable conservative lawmaker in the years he's served in Congress.
She also said that given the way Bentley's tenure as governor ended amid a cloud of a scandal involving a former campaign aide, some voters likely have buyer's remorse from ten years ago.
"The advantage (for Byrne) is that Robert Bentley got elected," said Stalnaker. "Because of the way the Bentley administration ended, that if there were people who could go back in time and vote for Byrne instead of Bentley, they would go ahead and do that."
Primary preview
Stalnaker, though, said one of Byrne's biggest challenges will be in getting his name out there and reacquainting himself to a statewide audience.
He will most likely have opposition. Alabama State Senate President Pro Tempore Del Marsh, R-Anniston, told AL.com Wednesday he was "looking seriously" at a Senate run.
Marsh sounded like a candidate when asked about Byrne, saying that Republicans "needed someone who has supported (President) Donald Trump," and "not another Washington politician."
Marsh accused Byrne of criticizing Trump in October 2016 shortly after a vulgar Access Hollywood video was released that some viewed as damaging to Trump's then-presidential prospects.
Byrne said, at the time, that Trump should step aside and allow Mike Pence to run for president instead. He later came back and issued a clarified statement by saying he would support the Republican ticket in the November 2016 election, but that he preferred it be Pence at the top of it.
Said Marsh, "It's on the record, his criticism of the president. He may have backed up on that, but he's criticized the president. I think we need someone who has supported Donald Trump and will continue to support Donald Trump and understands the urgency of building the (U.S.-Mexico border) wall."
Byrne has, in recent years, been a staunch supporter of Trump's "America First" agenda. During his campaign announcement, Byrne said the U.S. "needs to build a border wall." He also advocated for Second Amendment rights, blasted late-term abortion, and endorsed supporting Trump's nominees to judicial office.
Byrne called Marsh a "great friend" and a "great supporter of mine in 2010." But he also hinted at a potential campaign strategy against Marsh if the Senate President Pro Tempore opts to run.
"We have a swamp in Montgomery and have had a lot of people go to jail which has really disappointed me because I fought for ethical principles in Montgomery," said Byrne.
Another candidate considering a run is Alabama Auditor Jim Zeigler, who formed an exploratory committee for a possible Senate run.
Zeigler, who says he's served as a "watchman" in Montgomery, wants to take his same tactics to Washington, D.C., and focus on reducing the national debt.
Also on Wednesday, a conservative political action committee in Washington, D.C., released a poll they did which showed U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Hoover, with a substantial lead over Byrne among likely Alabama primary voters familiar with both congressmen. Palmer hasn't announced that he is running.
Quin Hillyer, a Mobile-based conservative writer, calls Byrne the "betting favorite" in the 2020 Senate contest.
Hillyer was one of the nine Republicans running in the 2013 Republican congressional primary against Byrne. He finished in fourth place during the primary and immediately backed Byrne in his runoff contest against Young.
"It's no slam dunk, but Bradley Byrne starts the race as the betting favorite," Hillyer said about Byrne's chances ahead of Alabama's March 3 primary election. "Deservedly so. He has proved to be a conservative reformer at four different levels of government and in prior civic volunteer life. He is quite effective in the House but will be even more effective in the majority in the Senate."
Stalnaker said Byrne has already scored one political win by becoming the first Republican to announce his run for 2020.
"What this means is that anyone who announces, whether it's Del Marsh or Jim Zeigler … your articles will include the term somewhere in there (the name) 'Bradley Byrne,'" she said. "Any announcement will have to share the media space with Bradley Byrne."
Stalnaker said the early announcement can bolster a candidate's percentage points by "2 to 3 percent."
"You always hear people say that it's so early and that we are over a year until the next election, so it seems like this is a marathon," she said. "But for a candidate running in a statewide race, this is a year for a long sprint."
Jones awaits
The winner of the GOP primary will likely be the favorite to win the 2020 general election over Jones, despite what could be a financial advantage for the Democratic incumbent. Jones's campaign raised roughly $24 million ahead of the Dec. 12, 2017, special election. Byrne, a prolific fundraiser himself, admitted that Jones will likely have the fundraising advantage throughout the campaign.
Alabama has long been a state dominated by the GOP. Republicans currently hold all statewide offices – excluding the Jones Senate seat – and the Alabama Legislature is a supermajority GOP.
"Democrats are thrilled that they have a candidate who may have a shot in Alabama to hold onto the seat and they will surely work to protect it the best they can," said David Lublin, a professor at the School of Public Affairs at American University in Washington, D.C. "But in a presidential year, it's kind of hard to see. It just seems like a tough seat for Democrats to hold."
Early analysis shows that Jones is looking at an uphill battle to win the seat for a six-year term. The Cook Political Report has initially labeled the race as "lean Democratic," but most other political analysts believe the Republican nominee has the inside shot at winning the Senate seat.
Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball, which is produced at the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, labels the Alabama Senate contest a "toss up," although an analysis from December states that Jones is probably the most vulnerable senator running in 2020.
Lublin said it will be up to Jones to recreate his winning coalition from 2017, which included a strong black voter turnout while also taking advantage of Democratic enthusiasm that is likely to spill over from the 2018 midterms. Additionally, Lublin said Jones will have to perform stronger in suburban areas of Alabama where more affluent and educated white voters have traditionally backed Republicans but now could be leaning Democratic over concerns about Trump.
In Alabama, though, Trump remains popular. According to Morning Consult's tracking of the president's approval rating, Trump's favorable score in Alabama – while down from 2017 – is the third strongest in the U.S.
"Doug Jones could do everything right and still lose," said Lublin.

Don't miss the funny and romantic ballet critics call "a collection of 'tales of the lovelorn' translated into eye popping episodes of passion and frivolity, intimacy, and spectacle... an impossible dream come true."
Le Corsaire (The Pirate) follows the escapades of a dashing pirate, Conrad, who journeys across the high seas to save his beautiful harem girl, Medora. It is a swashbuckling fantasy tale of captive maidens and cutthroats, love and betrayal.
The story of Carmen can leave you breathless. The passion, the drama, the love, the tragedy combine in such a way that one's heart feels as though it might stop at any moment from sheer anticipation.

The love team of Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson will once again be put to test through ABS-CBN's take on the highly popular Koreanovela, My Girl. This romantic comedy starts airing on Monday, May 26.
The creative team behind the local franchise of the popular Koreanovela My Girl took the liberty of adapting the hit show suit to the taste and culture of Filipinos.
"In the contract, we were allowed to change it to the point na dapat ma-Filipinize siya, dapat iakma lang sa culture ng Pilipinas because magkaiba ang culture ng Koreano at Pinoy," My Girl co-director Jerome Pobocan informed PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) in an interview last May 22 after the press preview held at the Studio 1 of ABS-CBN.
The location settings for My Girl are, of course, familiar to Filipinos — Luneta, Antipolo, Zambales, Tagaytay, and other places.
Direk Pobocan added, "We really adapted it to the Philippine situation and [formulated it] the way ABS-CBN comes up with a teleserye. 'Yong formula ng ABS sa paggawa ng teleserye, inapply namin dito, plus the fact that we lightened up para magmarka 'yong essence ng totoong My Girl."
KIMERALD. Leading the cast of My Girl is Kim Chiu who portrays the role of Jasmine, a spunky, street-smart and charming jack-of-all trades heroine. Starring with Kim is her love-team partner Gerald Anderson, who plays the well-off, serious and educated Julian.
My Girl follows the story of Jasmine whose poor fortune suddenly changes when she is hired to pretend as Julian's long lost cousin. Jasmine's role takes a sudden turn when she realizes that she is falling in love with Julian. The feeling, it turns out, is mutual. Problem is, the lovers can't come out in the open since everyone already believes they're real cousins. My Girl is a love story intertwined with comic situations.
"They improved a lot since Sana Maulit Muli," boasted direk Pobocan about the performance of Kim and Gerald. "The passion is there. Mas lalong nag-intensify 'yong passion. Because before [in Sana Maulit Muli], passion lang. That kept me going na i-train 'yong dalawang bata. Now, bukod sa passion, may skill na although they have a lot to learn still pero meron nang dimension."
Between the two, it was Kim who showed marked improvement as an actress. Even her directors were surprised.
"I'm so proud kay Kim kasi alam ko meron na [talent] 'yong bata noon pa lang. Pero I never expected na ganito. Leaps and bounds," observed Direk Pobocan who shares directorial duties with Erick Salud.
"This early they [Kim and Gerald] learned that in this business, it's not enough that you're popular. In this business, you need skill and you need to love it and I think ginagawa naman nila. Mahal nila 'yong trabaho nila that's why pinaghuhusayan nila."
Kim had to learn Mandarin to justify her role as a tour guide for Chinese tourists.
She revealed, "Hindi po kasi ako marunong mag-Mandarin. Ang alam ko po talaga, Fookien, yun po ang sinasalita namin sa bahay. Pero Mandarin po, hindi po talaga. Kaya double effort pa po talaga. Bale may teacher po kaming nagtuturo sa amin ng pagsasalita ng Mandarin. Ako po, si Alex Gonzaga at saka po si David Chua [ang nag-aral ng Mandarin]."
YOUTH AND EXPERIENCE. Joining Kim and Gerald are Enchong Dee, Nina Jose, Alex Gonzaga and David Chua. Complementing the young cast are veteran actors Ronaldo Valdez, Bing Loyzaga, Lito Pimentel, and comedian-singer K Brosas.
Mixing veterans with young stars gives the show a perfect balance, particularly in some scenes that require experience and depth.
ABS-CBN is also scheduled to release the My Girl soundtrack, which includes the songs, "Sabihin Mo Na" and "Crazy Love" (Chinese version) performed by Kim Chiu. A duet by Kim and Gerald of "Sabihin Mo Na," "My Girl," by Sam Milby, "Gulo, Hilo, Lito," by ex-Moonstar 88 vocalist Acel Van Omen and Pinoy Dream Academy alumna Yeng Constantino.
The cast will go on a nationwide tour of malls and various campuses.
Watch the premiere episode of My Girl, May 26 (Monday), on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida.

Help! I Inherited A Singer Who Can't Sing!
This month we will be doing a three-part Q&A series, answering listeners' questions. This first episode addresses a common problem that many worship leaders face: Inheriting a team member (or multiple team members) who don't have the musical skill to perform the task at hand. How do we as worship leaders help this beloved person understand that music ministry might not be God's calling for their lives? Is there any hope that we can help them develop? In what other creative ways can we use them as part of the team? Brenton Collyer and Justin Bell join me this month to share their wisdom and insight. Enjoy the episode!


Who can apply to farm school?
Farm School is great for people who are passionate about food justice, want to grown their own food and eat healthy, create more gardens & green spaces and share their knowledge with their communities. All applicants must be 18 or older and can live anywhere within reach of NYC.
What skills will I gain from Farm School courses?
Students will learn about urban agriculture growing techniques, community organizing and leadership skills, food based education, business planning and marketing. Take a look at our Courses.
We have a sliding tuition scale based on household income. For more information about this, be sure to visit the "Certificate in Urban Agriculture Fees and Payment Structure" section in our Application Guide.
You can apply online here! We also have paper applications available that you can download and mail to us.
I don't have any experience with farming, can I still apply?
Yes! Farm School is great for people going through a career change and just beginning to learn about farming.
How long does it take to complete the Farm Intensive versus the Citywide Certificate?
The Farm Intensive Certificate is designed to be completed in one year, and the Citywide Certificate in two years.
What's the difference between the Citywide Certificate and the Farm Intensive Certificate?
The Citywide Certificate includes 14 core courses to provide a foundation in urban agriculture and food justice, with advanced coursework, a student-led seminar, and 140 hour apprenticeship to complete in the second year. This program is designed with a manageable pace for people who have full time jobs.
The Farm Intensive Certificate places an emphasis on hands-on training throughout a full season of farming in NYC on a 1-acre diversified production farm, the Youth Farm, from seed to harvest. This program includes hands-on work, weekly technical sit-down workshops, weekly instructional farm walk, training rotations in propagation, Irrigation, Flowers, Direct Marketing (CSA and Market), Composting, and Farm Management, Direct Marketing & Community Supported Agriculture, in addition to working with youth and leading volunteer groups, urban and rural field trips, ergonomics & self-care for farmers.
When deciding, consider factors such as time commitment, financial resources and areas of interest. For example, Farm Intensive Certificate students must be able to commit at least 22 hours per week minimum. In terms of program content, consider how the Farm Intensive Certificate Program takes place on one farm, allowing students a chance to cover many aspects of managing a farm through various rotations. The Citywide Certificate Program takes place throughout NYC and covers a broader scope of topics, including Advanced Courses.
How do the two Certificate Programs overlap?
Students in the Farm Intensive Certificate Program will start off taking the same 3 courses as the Citywide Certificate Program students: Training of Trainers, Food Justice and Botany. Then, students diverge for 7 months before coming back together in November for a Seminar course where students deliver presentations on experiences of the past year.
What do people do after they graduate from the Citywide Certificate or Farm Intensive Certificate Programs?
Our alumni have gone on to launch their own farms, work as Farmer's Market managers, gotten jobs at urban and rural farms, started garden consulting practices, started food-based businesses, built gardens at their schools, and become farm educators.
Where and when do Farm School NYC classes take place?
Classes are held at various farms and gardens throughout NYC. Find out more about locations here. Each class week generally consists of seven hours: a three-hour Wednesday night class from 6-9pm and a four-hour weekend class from 10am-2pm. On occasion, courses will have modified schedules.
What kind of courses are held at Farm School?
Farm School NYC hosts classes such as Botany, Food Justice, Training of Trainers, Propagation, Irrigation, Community Food Arts, and many more. For information about these courses, be sure to visit the "Farm School NYC Core Courses 2016-2017" and "Advanced Courses 2018" sections in our Application Guide.
Are there opportunities for hands on farm work with these programs?
Yes! The Farm Intensive Certificate Program primarily takes place at The Youth Farm, an educational production farm. For the Citywide Certificate Program, almost all of the courses include a chance to apply what you're learning in an actual project on a farm or community garden (e.g. building raised beds and cold frames, setting up an irrigation system, planting cover crop).
Who are Farm School's partners?
Farm School NYC is proud to partner with organizations such as Bronx Green Up, Brooklyn Grange, Black Urban Growers, Rise and Root Farm, and many more! Visit our Partnerships page for more information.

I expected more votes for 2♥.
For the same reason I bid 5♣.
Since I have read the article about this deal in The Bridge World magazine back in 1996 or early 1997, it is quite likely that I forgot details. I kept only a copy of deal diagram. Thank you for correcting my comment.
At all tables where hearts were played, all declarers went one down regardless of the level (4♥, 6♥ or 7♥). All of them took a reasonable line of play.
What did Larry Cohen say?
Rhodes 1996, quarterfinals. Contracts were 4♥, 6♥ and 7♥, down one.
At the very moment of my heart showing misbid I knew my bid could not be alerted. My English is poor and it is obvious that I can not express my thoughts clearly , therefore I surrender and sincerely apologize for taking so much of your time.
I would probably play 6♥ doubled. Another possibility is 4♠ (cue) - 5♣(cue) - pass. I have only disputed the existence of UI.


We cater for divers of all ages – including the youngsters!
From the age of 8 years and upwards, DM Scuba are able to offer diving experiences to suit budding mermen and mermaids.
Let your child test the water with a Discover Scuba Session or a Bubblemaker session! This will introduce them to the basic equipment and skills involved in scuba diving and gives them their very first scuba diving experience in a swimming pool.
The Discover Scuba Session (12yrs+) involves some basic theory on what to do and what not to do and gives them approximately 60 minutes of in water enjoyment. The cost of this much fun? Only £30. (Discounts for groups of 4 or more) no more than two children per instructor.
All they'll need is a swimming costume a towel and some enthusiasm - we supply the rest. If you have your own pool then we can supply equipment and staff for a pool party with an added dimension - you can really give your friends a memorable experience!
All of our Instructors who work with children are Enhanced DBS Checked for your piece of mind, plus; we actively encourage Mums and Dads to get suited up and join in with the kids as well!
We can also offer the full PADI Open Water diving courses to children from the age of 12, subject to the instructor's discretion. These can be combined with adult courses if required, allowing the whole family to learn to dive together!
DM Scuba Training is a PADI Approved Youth Training Centre!
If your child is between 8 - 12 years old and able to swim, we can give them the chance to complete a Bubblemaker session in our swimming pool.
This course, designed especially for small children, will allow them to safely experience the thrill of scuba diving for the first time. Under direct guidance from our experienced instructors, they'll learn to use proper scuba equipment and breathe underwater.
These sessions are designed to instil confidence in your child and get them used to breathing underwater while having fun! We combine the Scuba with snorkelling, and other activities which are led by the children. These are great sessions to complete before committing to a full Seal Team Course.
Have you ever wondered what it's like to dive with flashlights, take digital pictures underwater or float effortlessly like an astronaut? These are Aqua Missions that introduce you to wreck, navigation, buoyancy, underwater photography, environmental awareness and more. The children also get to whizz around on underwater diver Propulsion Vehicles (DPVs)* and play with Bubble ring guns*.
Here's their chance to do some cool stuff in the pool, meet friends and share in the adventure of the underwater world.
The best part of the Specialty Aqua Missions is that they reinforce safe diving skills while the kids are having fun. PADI Seals get to sample a wide variety of dives.
In addition, it provides parents with a structured programme that lets their children develop skills, learn about the aquatic environment and have a lot of good, clean fun. This is also an excellent way to introduce kids to scuba diving prior to full Open Water Diver certification.
For large groups, pool parties or private hire see our link for Pool Parties / Clubs and Schools.
Held during our Bristol pool sessions every Thursday evening. The Seal Team is run through the summer holidays.
Summer 2019 Seal Team Course!
We offer group discounts on multiple bookings for family and friends if the course is run at the same time.
*Diver Propulsion Vehicles and Bubble Ring guns are used on most of our general Thursday evening pool Bubblemaker sessions, but there may be times where this is not possible due to safety concerns. If these two items are important to your child please let us know before booking and we can book your child on to one of our quieter sessions.


Discussion in 'Touring Northern Thailand - Trip Reports Forum' started by monoplex, Oct 18, 2005.
Not long after returning from Chiang Mai in August 2005 I wrote this as one of two holiday reports but after posting the first report it got shelved and as work took hold the moment to post seemed to pass. The recent reports have rekindled my memories so unashamedly I jump on the bandwagon. Typically, my reports seem to reflect my awe of the experience rather than the detail of the journey – I hope this is ok.
If one were to read all the posts on this forum I reckon that, given the number that cover the Mae Hong Son loop, there must be a groove in the road worn by all those who have journeyed this route. I'm no exception as twice now, on consecutive years, I have taken a Mr Mechanic CB750 round the twisties and been stunned by the spectacular grandeur of the mountains. They are different from those I have seen in Europe. Glaciers have not mauled them and at this time of year at least, the air is not clear, cold and crisp. Nor, of course, is there snow but their colours are truly beautiful. I have read that green is the wavelength to which our eye is the most sensitive and we discriminate more hues of green than any other colour. On that basis alone, there is much to see in North Thailand.
Last year I left Chiang Mai intending a short hop, looping back before I passed Pai but it didn't turn out that way. I drove something like 500Km, crossing the mountains twice in a single day. It had been a wild drive but it was a one-night stand, a yard of ale and so this time, I wanted to prolong the experience. I did nothing amazing on this trip, other than actually doing it, but I'm not going to let that get in the way of digging through my collection of pictures, getting the creases out my map and generally bringing to mind a very happy three days contributing to the groove.
As usual, I didn't give much thought to the overall planning and I found myself heading north on Route 107 out of Chiang Mai. As I passed roadside features, I remembered some of them from last year and it was weird yet gratifying that I could come so far again on holiday and still have fleeting points of reference; there was the rustic gas station where fuel was provided with a bell jar and a plastic hose, here I had bought some water and adjusted the bike luggage but where was the road surface? A large section was missing and so was my memory of where to turn off and head for Pai. I had overshot the Route 1095 junction because I was concentrating on remaining upright. It wasn't until signs for the Chiang Dao area started to appear did I spot my error and for a brief moment I was tempted to continue on but I hadn't bought David's MHS map for no reason.
By this time, the bike and I had already logged about 3000Km of touring and so I swept through the splendid landscape playing games with the driving. Sometimes, it would be keeping the speed constant irrespective of the road or likewise the revs. On other sections looking ahead, could I predict a braking marker and then the corner turn-in point? Yeah I know, it's sad and probably I need a girlfriend but interestingly, the possible outcome is similar in that if I didn't get it right I could be dumped (and with a nasty rash).
Since I was taking it easy, lunch was a leisurely affair but don't ask me where although perhaps the regulars will recognise the location from the pictures. It was a good stop though and all I needed to complete the break was a newspaper and a siesta but hey-ho, I was on holiday and Pai beckoned. On arriving, I wasn't quite sure of the best place to stay overnight and toured a number of possible candidates before deciding on the Baan Krating resort situated very close to the Pai airstrip. I think this is a relatively new hotel and is the bungalow type. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the berths themselves extremely nice inside. My bungalow was the furthest from the reception and at night it was nirvana listening to the insect clamour and falling rain softened into melody by my drowsiness. It must be bliss to live in a world without a constant background traffic roar, sirens in the distance, household appliance hums or aircraft. One of my colleagues, a composer, wanted me to take a digital audio recorder to capture soundscapes. He said that despite being visually centric creatures, sounds are extraordinarily evocative but at the time I didn't really appreciate what he was talking about. I now wish I had.
From Pai, Mae Hong Son is only an indicated 103Km on the map. Even although this was my second time around the loop it's a testing route. Huge fun for sure but you think it's never going to end since it's constant switchbacks, climbs and descents. At times the road you have just travelled or the next section yet to be reached would pop up into view in the strangest places. How did I get here or where is the path to there? You really have to drive your machine and for this tired but sturdy old CB750, energy conservation was the key. I used a lot of engine braking, keeping the revs high ready for when it came time to get moving uphill again. Marvellous stuff but there's more to it than just the driving; when you have time to look, some of the views are fantastic.
A striking feature of the whole journey was the constant deterioration of the weather. I'm used to lots of rain and to be deluged by it on holiday is no big deal since at least it was warm. But here the thick leaden clouds just sank progressively lower until at times I felt that raising my arm would leave my hand obscured. The very poor weather was the precursor to the flooding that wreaked havoc upon the region shortly after I left for home and I was very sad to compare my photos with those on the forum.
MHS was reached in the middle of a massive cloudburst and I turned up at the Imperial Tara Mae Hong Son looking very much like a drowned rat. I don't know why but this amuses me, leaving puddles on the reception counter and paying with damp notes. To be fair, hotel staff everywhere have never treated me with less than courtesy and friendly concern. I get quizzed about where I'm from and often there is a small tour outside to inspect the bike. Here the duty manager asked me so many questions about the machine I offered to take him for a spin but he declined, saying if anything happened to him his four wives would clean up on the insurance (he was Muslim). They've insured him? They must know something he doesn't. All of this (and being on my own) seems to establish me as an eccentric Farang but, whatever else they may think about me, the staff go out of their way to converse and look after me. I can live with that.
The next day the weather was so poor that I decided to stop over for an extra night and just relax. So, here I was in Mae Hong Son taking a day off from my touring holiday. It was a Sunday and what does one do in the UK? We go for a drive. I'm not good at studying guidebooks and choosing attractions to visit believing serendipity is the essence of adventure. I got onto the main route out of MHS and turned off at every promising junction to see where it would lead. The best one was a long meandering, undulating paved road to Mae Aw, very close to the Burmese border. I also 'discovered' an old suspension bridge and on the outskirts of MHS, an overgrown, long disused airstrip. Despite the presence of tall trees, as I trundled past its aspect looked familiar so I stopped and foraged around, eventually finding a faded (H) helicopter pad.
Early the next morning I checked out and headed once again for the hills. After the excitement of the hairpins from the north leading to MHS, Route108 south took on a stately demeanour. Rather than challenging the mountains, it wound its way alongside following their run. Driving was uncomplicated and in the morning light, with the rain yet to appear, took on a serene quality. Braving the elements, changing through the gearbox like a metronome on the twisties and playing games with the bike are all great fun but sometimes just covering the miles with the scenery scrolling past is what biking is all about – and here was the place to do it.
Khun Yuam came and went, as I wasn't about to make the same mistake as last year and turn here to make a mountain crossing. The weather would not be so forgiving this time around although, to be fair, I wouldn't appreciate the quality of my decision until much later. I stopped for lunch at Mae Sarieng and by this time I was looking forward to swinging east and once again getting on the roller coaster. Route 108 from Mae Sarieng to Hot on the other side of the mountains is a fantastic drive but not an E-Ticket ride in the same way as the journey from Pai to MHS. The geography seems to allow the road to follow a path of lower resistance and towards the end of this section it flanks a river. I was not disappointed as there was plenty of opportunity to take in the sights and still find myself entertained by the climbs and curves. Somewhere along its length were extended road works with the mud, the gradients and pouring rain all challenging my driving. There were no fun and games with the bike here. Occasionally, I would drag my left foot to give a margin of stability but really I was only fooling myself since all it meant is that I knew onto which side the bike might slip. I don't know anything about off-roading and all-up this CB750 was a good 60Kg heavier than I'm used to. Still, I mustn't make too much of this as I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
After that, there is nothing much to report as Route 108 north to Chiang Mai is relatively dull stuff except I was on a motorbike in South East Asia on holiday. I just settled into the rhythm of driving, slotting into the traffic and behaving myself. My interest would turn to how other drivers would comport themselves and often I would skip ahead of the next vehicle if I found someone on my tail just a bit too close for comfort. Braking distances don't seem to be a big deal in Thailand and a large bike generates a bit of interest; so much so, other drivers often close to get a better look.
Not long after this trip I returned home to the UK and picked up the threads of my professional life; engineering. I have enjoyed expressing profound experiences with words and pictures instead of my usual arcane jargon.
I sympathise with you, I wrote the riding report before you, how the hell do you go back to pommy land and the mundane engineering thing after a dose of Thailand and a ride around the MHS loop? I spent almost 12 months in SE Asia on a bike last year, got back to Aussy, got a good job in engineering...and lasted 8 weeks, I ended up in Shanghai, thats after renting a flat, buying a car etc, etc, I blew the lot! Asia is much better mate, and Thailand is only 2.5 hours away!
Think about it, you have only one shot at it.

R.A.P Ferreira — the Light Emitting Diamond Cutter Scriptures — Album Review
Alternative | Experimental | Rap
Listen on Spotify | Listen on Apple Music
At the very beginning of 2021 (literally on New Year's Day), we were blessed by the unique collaboration between the alias of Rory Ferreira, also known as R.A.P Ferreira, and…well…the other alias of Rory, which is known as Scallops Hotel. The resulting piece of said collaboration was an album called Bob's Son, a project that really did kick off this year with an artistic and poetic bang. I definitely saw Bob's Son as an underrated piece, and felt that it got way more negative reception than it truly deserved.
In terms of the individual projects that had both come from the creative mind of Rory Ferreira, it was actually Scallops Hotel that I had heard of first. With his 2018 album, Sovereign Nose Of Your Arrogant Face, Scallops Hotel was the subject of my very first singular album review, following my decision to start reviewing music in 2018. That being said, the uniqueness and artistry of said album gave me enough of an incentive to follow Rory and his work.
What is now seemingly his most favoured alias, R.A.P Ferreira was conceived a little later on. I was there when Rory released his debut single under R.A.P Ferreira, which was titled "Respectdue". The more accessible and gritty nature of this track displayed a promising change of style; another to add to the musical palette which is Rory's collective discography.
Following on from this, we got the debut R.A.P Ferreira album in March of 2020, named Purple Moonlight Pages, which displayed more of that accessible feel. However, while a very solid record in its own right, I felt that it was somewhat lacking in that artistic feel that made Rory so unique amongst other wordsmiths.
And as we creep into the final month of 2021, Rory has one more musical trick up his sleeve. His sophomore solo effort as R.A.P Ferreira. Enter; the Light Emitting Diamond Cutter Scriptures.
This is the second project of the year from Rory Ferreira that fans have been able to listen to. It is also the second example that Rory has really chiseled out his aesthetic in 2021. the Light Emitting Diamond Cutter Scriptures is noticeably more artistic and unique than R.A.P Ferreiras 2020 project, but not at the cost of its grittier qualities. In essence, this album is another that presents "the best of both worlds", but this time with only Rory's newest alias behind the wheel.
To further prove the greater implementation of the "artistic" feel that I speak of, there are actually plenty of references to art and artists across this album, with figures like Jackson Pollock and Ansel Adams referenced, just to name a few.
But aside from the lyrical artistry, the production behind this album's instrumentals definitely sound more abstract than those on Purple Moonlight Pages. However, said production also has a crispness to it that allow it to stand out from the Scallops Hotel material as well.
In regards to comparing this album to Bob's Son, however, I would actually say that this is at least equal in quality to that project, if not better. However, the fact that Bob's Son was released when it was, had allowed me to build up plenty more sentimentality towards it. It would be a tough choice deciding which of the two projects I will end up placing on my top albums list. But both projects have been two of the best showcases of just how talented Rory Ferreira truly is.

Take some time today, tomorrow, and Saturday and read the text for this upcoming Sunday in our series on "Wrestling with God". This week's sermon is from Genesis 29:15 – 30 "The Love Struggle".
 Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?"  Now Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.  Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance.  Jacob loved Rachel. And he said, "I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel."  Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me."  So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.

Hey all, version 0.93 is out! This version introduces two massive changes to the game: ranked servers and unlockable cosmetics. This version completely changes how both the respect and the community credits system works. Community Credits can now be spent on unlocks, allowing players to individually choose the unlocks that they like. Respect has been completely reworked to work with ranked servers. You can now play in ranked servers to earn respect, where your respect will be determined by how your score compares against the scores of your enemies. There are of course other changes such as balancing, bug fixing, and updated maps, but these 2 system reworks are massive and should really make the game a lot more enjoyable. So go play now, unlock a few cosmetics and hop into a ranked server to check it all out! As usual check the changelog for details.
Who the hell is this impersonating prick?
Clearly I'm the real garde here.

Growing Number of Reservists Get Pay Break
Thursday, 27 September 2001 12:00 AM
Among those getting the pay beak are employees at some of the nation's most visible corporations - United Parcel Service, Ford Motor Co. and Burger King Corp.
Joining in are some governments like the state of Florida and Miami-Dade County, Fla. Tarrant County, Texas, where Fort Worth is located, is considering the policy.
The Pentagon said the number of Reserve and National Guard members called so far is 14,318. Under the partial mobilization order President Bush signed after the attacks Sept. 11 on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, as many as 50,000 could be called.
A survey of 200 companies in various industries by the Chicago-based placement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas showed most larger companies were doing something for the reservists starting with guaranteeing their jobs when they return.
"With the small and medium companies it's more on a catch as catch can basis," said John A. Challenger, the firm's chief executive.
"Many companies have stepped up and recognize now is the time to honor those in the military," Challenger said. "The fact that companies are willing to continue paying employees who could be on extended leave is a testament to their commitment to supporting their employees and the country."
UPS, with 4,000-5,000 employees in the reserve, will pay the difference in pay and insurance benefits. And the Atlanta company isn't stopping there.
"We're aware that there are other problems for the people left behind. Our human resources department will call the family every week to see if there are such things as car pool problems, or if an elderly family member needs a lawn mowed," said Paula Fulford, a UPS spokeswoman.
"We want to make sure that their financial needs, and everyday things are taken care of," she said. "We feel a responsibility. This is the right thing to do."
Kim Miller at Burger King in Miami said the firm has fewer than 1,000 employees in the reserves, and will pay the differential and for health insurance for employees on active duty for up to 90 days.
Ford sent an e-mail to its employees this week, telling them: "Under the national emergency declared by the president, more than a million guard and reserve troops can be called to active duty. In response to this call, Ford will be following our policy for such military leaves."
The company said the policy means it will grant leave and voluntarily make up the difference between the amount employees make from the military and their usual salary.
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and his Cabinet this week passed a resolution that goes a little further than most. State agencies will give employees full pay in addition to their military pay for the first 30 days and make up the difference after that.
"This resolution makes it clear that we will stand by our military personnel," said Jeb Bush, the president's younger brother. "I also want to encourage local governments and private employers who are able to join us in supporting those serving their country by doing the same."
Among those following the state's lead was its largest county, Miami-Dade.
In Texas, Tarrant County government officials are considering supplemental pay for 47 county employees who could be called up for military duty Commissioners could vote on the issue next week. Human Resources Director Gerald Wright said he is trying to determine if supplemental pay is a legal option.

MARSHALL, N.C. – As the mercury climbs, so will the energy bills for consumers across Tennessee.
Energy-efficiency measures can go a long way in reducing usage, but their cost often presents a roadblock for thousands of families.
Programs known in the industry as on-bill financing allow homeowners to pay for the cost of weatherization through their electric bill – essentially using the savings to pay off the cost and preventing out-of-pocket additional expense.
A new report from Appalachian Voices highlights the need and potential impact of such a payment system, according to Rory McIlmoil, the environmental group's energy savings program manager.
"They need some sort of solution that can meet the level of need, but can also be accessible for everybody," he states. "There are federal weatherization grants, but those funding sources barely scratch the surface of meeting the need that's out there."
The report specifically looked at the impact for households that are members of the French Broad Electric Membership Corporation– a co-op that serves Madison, Mitchell and Yancey counties in North Carolina as well as Unicoi and Cocke counties in Tennessee.
It estimates that if the co-op were to implement an on-bill system, participants could save $1,000 or more over a 10-year period.
North Carolinians who want to participate in such a program are encouraged to call their electric provider.
McIlmoil points out that while low-income households often are the last ones to be able to afford efficiency measures, they're often the most in need.
"They're more likely to live in homes that need energy-efficiency retrofits, whether new insulation, or an upgraded heating system," he explains. "So they can't pay to improve those things that need to be improved in order to make their home more comfortable, more healthy and also reduce their energy bills."
The Appalachian Voices report estimates the energy efficiency work in the French Broad Electric Membership area alone could generate as many as 60 jobs.

Israeli warplanes, on Sunday, attacked several targets in Khan Younis, in the south of the Gaza Strip, and other targets in the north, causing damage but no injuries, according to WAFA correspondence.
He said that warplanes fired two missiles at a location east of Khan Younis, causing fire and destroying the target in total.
Army helicopters also fired a missile at a location east of Gaza City, destroying it and causing panic in the neighborhood, particularly among children.
A third target was hit in Beit Hanoun, in the north of the Gaza Strip, and artilleries shelled an open area east of Jabalia.
Israel said the attacks came after Palestinians flew rigged balloons into southern Israel, which fell without causing any damage or injury.

I was about to get on an elevator the other day when a subtle hint of sweet perfume hit my nose. I turned to look and saw a vision of pure heaven. She was not the most insanely beautiful woman I have ever seen (like the models here), but she had that simple sexiness that shines brightly in all her unaware modesty. I had to take a moment and appreciate all she had to offer. I tip my hat to all the lovely ladies in our everyday lives that are hiding in plain sight...in elevators, riding bikes, on subways...Hallelujah!
i have a request , i will like to know from wich country the girls are from , thank's for your attention .
Shred, I'd like to know what you guys consider a bad day at work. Your worst day has to be better than my best day---by a long shot.
Another beautiful, varied, memory-provoking selection, Shred. Interesting choice of Sammie Rhodes. She seems to have that "simple sexiness", even if she is trying too hard to project it (usually a turn-off) and isn't really my type at all.
Shred, you will have to start a photo gallery of the models as they ARRIVE for a shoot. Then play 'Guess the model,' as so many look like 'normal' girls before the 'War Paint' goes on!
