The icebreaking research vessel ARAON had her second ice trial in the Arctic Ocean from July 16 to August 12, 2010. In this study, the ice loads measured during the "general" operation and "ice breaking" operation in ice-covered waters were analyzed and compared. Whereas the "general" operation stands for the voyage in the water partially covered by ice, the "ice breaking" operation involved substantial ice floes for the ice breaking performance test. Based on the measured data, comparisons of the relationship between the ship speed and ice load, and between the locations of strain gauges and ice loads were investigated. Peak stresses higher than 20 MPa were found. The longitudinal and vertical correlations between the measurement location and ice load were analyzed, and the probability of peak stress was calculated. As a result, the probability function for higher ice loads during both operation modes was expressed in an exponential and power forms.

Spring Road is a small railway station in the Acocks Green area of Birmingham, England.  It is situated on the North Warwickshire Line, between Tyseley and Hall Green stations.  The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by West Midlands Railway.

History
The station was opened in 1908 as a halt named Spring Road Platform to ease traffic from the station at Tyseley, and to serve a cluster of cottages on the nearby land, which were owned until 1925 by the landowner at Fox Hollies Hall, Zaccheus Walker IV. The station consisted of two platforms with shelters, with ramps leading from street level to the station below. Passengers had to purchase their tickets on the train.

The station served as a request stop for the railmotor excursions throughout the years before the First World War, with Acocks Green building up around it. Zaccheus Walker IV, who was a well-respected philanthropist in the area, used the station for school trips (paid for by him personally) to the countryside and Stratford upon Avon.

At the end of the Second World War, a factory consisting of two buildings was built alongside the station, belonging to Lucas. The larger of the two known as BW3 and BW4 were later sold to Magneti Marelli in the early 1990s, before passing into the hands of Denso in 2003. The smaller BW5 stayed in the hands of Lucas as part of Lucas Aerospace. Lucas was bought out by TRW in 1998, BW5 has been in the hands of Goodrich since October 2002 when TRW sold off all its aerospace businesses.

In the 1950s, a permanent ticket-office was placed at the top of the ramp leading to Platform 1 (towards Birmingham). An older shelter at the top of this ramp built after the Second World War was converted into a toolshed, which it is used as today.

Workers at the factory first used the station to travel to and from work, which kept the station open during the era of the Beeching Axe, but traffic became less with the appearance of the private car.

Services
During Monday to Saturday daytimes:

 3 trains per hour northbound to Birmingham Moor Street and Birmingham Snow Hill continuing to Stourbridge Junction, with some trains continuing onward to Kidderminster and Worcester.
 3 trains per hour southbound to , one of which continues to Stratford-upon-Avon.

On Sundays, there is an hourly service each way – northbound to Snow Hill and  and southbound to Stratford-upon-Avon.

I see that each time I sign on the Internet (AT&T), MSN, etc. there is absolutely NOTHING about the Supreme Court ruling yesterday. The mainstream media is playing down everything.
If the ruling had went the other way, it would be impossible to change channels without hearing & seeing the parties and parades.
Lots being said on Fox news channel about it. I think the left is probably hashing this over and working on their end run. What ever that end run maybe, it's sure to be as illogical as the others.
It's been all over cable news CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News. Even had more on it last evening. I don't watch network news except for the local news so can't comment on them. Suprising to me I thought most reporting was positive. Remember the key word here is MOST.
There is no monolithic "The Left" with some evil strategy we get at secret meetings! That's why you are so confused about issues! They'd throw me out just like the other side would! :D I'm part of the mythical left and I'm very happy with the SCOTUS decision. Came out just about perfect to me!
Stop imaging anti gun witches with evil intentions! There are lefist radicals that want to ban all guns, but they are very few, but very vocal! There are also conservative reactionaries that want militia meetings with Gatling Guns and ICBM's in their basements expecting the overthrow of the U.S. Tuesday. Both groups don't represent many Americans, so the sky isn't falling quite yet as much as some shooters wish it would!
Some shooters meaning in life is defending against the evil of (fill in here whatever twists your tail)! I'd rather go shooting myself!
I don't see the ruling as a great victory. The Court gutted the God given right of all men to keep and bear all types of instruments of combat.

Q: Distinct terms not being identified correctly in MYSQL I have created a database which stores a simple inverted index created from Bengali text documents.
Table Name: simple_index , Primary key {Term, Document_id}
Table Definition:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS basicindex.simple_index (
    term varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    doc_id INT NOT NULL,
    frequency INT NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (term,doc_id)
)

Strangely, I have found that for the below two distinct words:

*

*খুঁজে - present in doc 3, 16, 34

*খুজে - present in doc 1

when I perform the below query:
Query 1:
select doc_id from basicindex.simple_index where term='খুঁজে';

Query 2:
select doc_id from basicindex.simple_index where term = 'খুজে';

both return 4 rows claiming that খুঁজে and খুজে are present in all the four documents.
From the logs I find that [Distinct Term, document id, frequency] খুঁজে  was inserted only for document id 1:
Inserting Indexes for খুজে ->{ DocID: 1, Frequency: 1}
('খুজে', 1, 1)
and খুঁজে was inserted in document ids 3, 16 and 34
Inserting Indexes for খুঁজে ->{ DocID: 3, Frequency: 1}
('খুঁজে', 3, 1)
Inserting Indexes for খুঁজে ->{ DocID: 16, Frequency: 2}
('খুঁজে', 16, 2)
Inserting Indexes for খুঁজে ->{ DocID: 34, Frequency: 1}
('খুঁজে', 34, 1)
Below are the unicode value for the terms:
খুঁজে [('খ', 2454), ('ু',2497), ('ঁ',2433), ('জ',2460), ('ে',2503)]
খুজে [('খ',2454), ('ু',2497), ('জ',2460), ('ে',2503)]
I am using MYSQL version 8.0.13. I request someone to please help me in understanding why MYSQL database is exhibiting such a behavior. Why is it not able to distinguish between 'খুঁজে' and 'খুজে'? What can I do to correct this?
I have attached the documents 1,3,16 and 34 and the input and output log files for your kind reference here.

A:
both return 4 rows claiming that খুঁজে and খুজে are present in all the four documents.

Check for used COLLATION. Specify needed COLLATE explicitly.
As an example:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS simple_index (
    term varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    doc_id INT NOT NULL,
    frequency INT NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (term,doc_id)
);

INSERT INTO simple_index VALUES
('খুঁজে', 1, 0 ),
('খুজে', 2, 0 );
SELECT * FROM simple_index;

term
doc_id
frequency

খুঁজে
1
0

খুজে
2
0

select doc_id from simple_index where term = 'খুঁজে';
select doc_id from simple_index where term = 'খুজে';

| -----: |
|      1 |
|      2 |

| doc_id |
| -----: |
|      1 |

Thread: convert MSTS trains into TrainZ ?
I am a great fan of Chris Longhurst trains he has made.
But is it possible that those trains can be imported into TrainZ ??
RE: convert MSTS trains into TrainZ ?
Not directly, but I believe modellers like Chris will be able to create their own locos later on.
Yeh cool .. if thats the case are other free ware developers going to follow your lead.. ? theres plenty of awesome models out now and with the ease of construction of new routes etc it would be a shame to buy trainz and not have the same variety of rolling stock available as we do now with msts..

Higlight of Pori Jazz Festival Jade Bird to Finland Today: "It's Always the Punchy Screw You Songs That Are the Best"
Posted by Tony Öhberg | July 20, 2018 5:29 pm | Music
British singer, songwriter and musician Jade Bird is posing for Finland Today at the Pori Jazz festival in Pori, Finland on July 19, 2018. Picture: Tony Öhberg for Finland Today
"The black keys are really hot."
Late on Thursday afternoon, the temperature has climbed over 30 degrees Celsius at the coastal city of Pori in western Finland, and the main concert days of Pori Jazz festival have kicked off with Jade Bird as one of the definite highlights of Thursday—or perhaps—the whole festival.
Article continues below the advertisement.
Jade Bird is a 20-year-old British singer who defies genre limitations when it comes to playing acoustic music, whether with guitar or keyboards. Now she's sitting behind the keyboards, having just finished a Kate Bush cover of "Running Up That Hill."
She's wearing jeans overalls and a T-shirt under it and her shoes are the color of the silver. Her brown hair is long and her eyes big and blue.
Bird's music is not exactly jazz, actually quite far from it, but Pori Jazz has evolved into a set of groundbreaking artists, some upcoming like Bird.
Bird charms the festival crowd with her voice that is equally able to coo and growl. Picture: Tony Öhberg for Finland Today
"You guys are legends. Standing in the sun," she says. Then she laughs like she has done many times today between the songs; it's almost becoming her trademark—a raspy giggle that is tailor-made to set you in a good mood.
Bird has been passionate about music since she started playing piano at the age of seven. At 12, she found the guitar and calls it magical. In her hands, it sounds like so. The strings obey every flick of the wrist, tap and slide of the fingers. Chords are crisp and clear. But it's her voice where the definition applies best.
After her performance, we sit at the table backstage near an abandoned disc golf basket, thick fir trees and tall birches. The shade of the trees offers a momentary relief from the sun.
"The black keys are really hot!" Bird said. "It's a workout. I'm going to be strong when I get off the stage." Picture: Tony Öhberg for Finland Today
I ask her about her voice, so well-trained and natural carrying well with the aid of a small echo. I'm trying to find a comparison to another singer, and she fits perfectly between Adele and Alanis Morissette (performing at the festival on Saturday) but she tells me her influences focus mostly on the "old stuff." "I like old stuff musically. It's weird. I feel like if you learn from the classics, you can always gain something new in the present day. I love Alanis Morrisette, she's my favorite. Patti Smith is my other hero."
At Pori Jazz, songs like "Cathedral," "Uh Oh" and "Lottery" give a wonderful cross-section of her vocal performance. But Bird's talent really shines in slower ballads where you can hear the depth of her vocals. Like "Lottery," for example or the previously mentioned Bush ballad.
In the middle of her set, Bird started taking glances on her wrist. "I wrote my setlist on the hand. Not being rude by checking the time," she laughed. Picture: Tony Öhberg for Finland Today
Most of her songs are not happy but between songs, she gives glimpses of her happy, energetic spirit. "I haven't written a good love song yet. It's kinda strange, I just can't seem to be able to write a happy song that is any good. It's always the punchy screw you songs that are the best. I need to work that out."
" I just can't seem to be able to write a happy song that is any good."
She says love is a joyous thing, though, especially with her new partner. "I like the happy melodies of the Beatles and Beach Boys, for example, very bittersweet, very chromatic. I'd like to write something like that one day."
After dropping an EP Something American in 2017, Bird is preparing to release a full-length album late 2018 or in the beginning of the next.
The songs are almost ready, but according to her, the hard part is picking up the best of the best. She has written between 400 and 500 songs since she became interested in music and "she cuts them down all the time." She is thinking of 10 songs that could be featured on the album. "I like to think that I have a football league of songs and I'm constantly knocking them out with better songs," she says, laughing. "I've got too many songs. But I'm a really harsh critic."
Then she laughs again.

Still, the outrage members of Congress expressed Tuesday reflected the still-simmering public anger over the violent removal of a United Airlines passenger from a flight last month, captured on cellphone videos that millions have viewed worldwide.
"If we act, it's going to be one-size-fits-all," Shuster warned.
Some members could push legislation to prohibit overbooking situations or the removal of passengers from boarded flights. Or Congress could require that airlines more clearly spell out the rights of passengers, said Thomas Cooke, a distinguished teaching professor at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business.
"If there's any one subject matter that's going to get to the heart of many voters, it's travel," Cooke said. "There's no one that is immune at this point from Congress' oversight."
Still, Cooke thought the airlines could work matters out. The airlines have made changes since April 9, when Kentucky doctor David Dao was pulled off a plane he'd already boarded by law enforcement at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. Last week, Dao and United reached a confidential settlement.
"We failed," United CEO Oscar Munoz, who's endured weeks of criticism for the incident and the airline's response to it, told the House committee.
A Southwest Airlines executive told lawmakers Tuesday that the carrier will stop the unpopular practice of overbooking flights.
Bob Jordan, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Southwest, told House panel members the airline would cease overbooking as of next week.
"It fits perfectly with our brand," said Jordan, whose airline is the largest domestic carrier as measured by passengers and unlike its rivals does not charge checked-bag or flight-change fees.
Executives from United and American, who also testified Tuesday, did not say whether they'd follow Southwest's example.
However, the carriers said they would no longer remove passengers once they are on board the aircraft for reasons unrelated to safety or security.
"These changes are just a start," Munoz testified.
Delta and United will offer passengers as much as $10,000 to give up their seats. American has set no limit on the compensation it will offer passengers.
The airlines also pledged to review how their employees are trained and empowered to deal with customer-service situations.
"We know we have some catching up to do," testified Kerry Philipovitch, senior vice president of customer experience at American Airlines.
American may have averted a public-relations meltdown after a confrontation last month between an airline employee and a passenger over a stroller by immediately apologizing and suspending the employee. United, however, had initially defended its employees' conduct before Munoz made multiple public apologies for how they had treated Dao.
"Clearly, what happened was wrong," Philipovitch said.
EDITORS: STORY CAN END HERE
Still, lawmakers, who are some of the most frequent fliers in the country, put the airlines on notice that they needed to do better.
"These changes are not enough to protect passengers," said Rep. Dan Lipinski, an Illinois Democrat on the aviation subcommittee.
Airlines and related businesses are one of the most powerful special interests in Washington and invest heavily to make sure their views are represented. Airlines and their trade groups spent more than $27 million on lobbying last year, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan campaign finance watchdog.
Eight of the House's ten 10 recipients of airline transport campaign contributions in 2016 are on the Transportation Committee, including Shuster, the panel's top Democrat, Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon, and the chairman of its aviation subcommittee, Rep. Frank LoBiondo, R-N.J. Another member, Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., lost re-election last year, and House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., was the remaining top recipient in last year's election.
"They have buttered the bread on all sides," Cooke said.
Still, lawmakers sent a message during Tuesday's hearing, which stretched four and a half hours, that no amount of lobbying prowess or campaign cash could get airlines off the hook.
"No one should ever be treated this way, and we're here to ensure it never happens again," LoBiondo said.
"I think the airline industry needs to focus on getting its own house in order," DeFazio said.

HOUSTON - The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in Texas is one cent more than the average last week, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch.
The current statewide average is $3.39. The national average is $3.49, increasing four cents more than the average last week. The statewide average price is 10 cents less than the national average. The most expensive gasoline averages in the state is in Texarkana at $3.42. Amarillo is reporting the least expensive average in the state at $3.18 for a gallon of regular unleaded.
In recent reports released by the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. demand for oil is at a more than ten-year low. As reports show extremely weak gasoline demand, refiners are responding to this decrease in demand by cutting back on production. Lower production output has resulted in some upward movement in prices for motorists, but analysts say continuing concerns regarding Euro Zone and Greek debt slowed any upward impact on prices.
Crude oil futures are priced in U.S. dollars, and as economies weaken overseas, the dollar strengthens and the price of oil becomes relatively more expensive for those holding foreign currencies. Oil futures become a less attractive investment which exerts downward pressure on prices.
"Last week the statewide average for a gallon of regular unleaded increased 13 cents," said AAA Texas/New Mexico Public Affairs Representative Sarah Schimmer. "This week the upward movement on statewide average prices has slowed, with the statewide average increasing one cent. Texans are paying an average of $47 for a typical 14-gallon fill up again this week."
To maximize fuel efficiency as well as extend the life of your car, AAA recommends motorists have their vehicle serviced regularly based on the manufacturer's recommended schedule and identify a quality repair shop. Motorists can either look for the AAA Approved Auto Repair sign at local auto repair facilities, or search for a nearby AAA Approved shop online at: www.AAA.com/repair.


VAR is short for video assistant referees or in other words, video technology.
This is something that for years now has been utilized by various sports including American Football (NFL) and baseball (MLB) just to name a few.
It´s designed to help officials in making crystal clear and fair decisions. However, in soccer, it has always been a subject of huge debate as there are many supporters and figures of the sport that consider it to be a negative thing if it gets implemented as it could destroy the essence of soccer.
One of the main elements or characteristics of soccer is it´s free-flowing aspect as there are generally very few interruptions in an actual match and the timer which never stops until the end.
Introducing VAR could negatively affect this component of the sport as more interruptions and consequentially hampering one of the core elements of why soccer is considered to be as a beautiful and attractive sport for many people as it almost never stops or gets disrupted.
However, the current president of FIFA Gianni Infantino who took over that position back on February of 2016 has given the green light to start having it implemented in big competitions and it has actually already been in trial runs in the MLS.

In 2009, Learning Forward released its seminal text Becoming a Learning School which has guided the school improvement efforts of district and school leaders across the world. The book provides educators with a framework for using professional learning as a key lever for improving the effectiveness of teachers, teacher-leaders, principals, central office personnel, and others whose work impacts the learning environments of students.
In 2013, the follow-up text, Becoming a Learning System, will be released. Our goal with this book is to explore how systems (school districts, charter management organizations, and networks of traditional and non-traditional schools) can create environments that foster effective teaching and learning in every classroom and every school. In essence, it's about taking learning schools to scale.
The concept of a learning organization is not new. Peter Senge and his colleagues were among the first to coin the term more than 20 years ago. Senge defined learning organizations as places where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning to see the whole together.
For school systems to remain viable entities, they need to be flexible enough to respond to the rapidly changing conditions around them. They must "learn" and adapt quickly while simultaneously supporting principals, school-based teams, and individual classroom teachers. Procedures and practices must be developed that respond to outside influences (e.g., Common Core student standards, ever-changing technologies, national guidelines, etc.). School systems must be prepared to be in a constant state of learning.
Most of the focus of the book will be the central office of the system. At the school building level, what happens in central offices is often considered a mystery. Typically, teachers experience the district office only when they are hired or are required to participate in mandated professional development. Principals and assistant principals are there more often as they engage with district personnel around a host of management issues. In essence, the central office is often perceived as the place where decisions and made and directives originate.
In a learning system, we believe the central office is a very different place. Trust exists across departments and throughout the system. The system partners with schools versus seeing its role as controlling them. Because learning for adults is valued, learning communities are the norm at the district and building levels. Professional learning systems are in place, and resources are allocated to support them.
During the next few months, you'll hear more about Becoming a Learning System. Teachers and leaders, if you feel your system is a "learning system," we'd love to hear your comments.

Ontario injection molder among three firms to get provincial funding for mask and respirator production
Waterloo, Ont.-based Swenco is receiving $2 million to help the company establish a new production facility to make ASTM level 1, 2 and 3 surgical masks.
December 9, 2020	Canadian Plastics
Canadian Plastics
Injection molder Swenco Ltd. is one of three Ontario manufacturers receiving a combined total of more than $5 million through the provincial government's Ontario Together Fund to help them create jobs by designing and producing respirators and surgical masks for frontline and healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Waterloo, Ont.-based Swenco is receiving $2 million to help the company establish a new production facility to make ASTM level 1, 2 and 3 surgical masks. It anticipates creating 24 new jobs with the project.
"Swenco Limited has been in business in Ontario for over 58 years. Like many Canadians and Canadian businesses, we were hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic," Swenco president Paul Sweeny said in a press release. "We decided that we needed to come forward and be a part of the solution. With the incredible support from the Ontario Together Fund, we were able to open a state-of-the-art mask production facility in Waterloo and with this expansion we hope to continue supporting our community for years to come."
Ontario is also investing more than $1.8 million in Kitchener-based mask supplier O2 Canada to design double-filtered, soft-sealed and reusable respirators that will help healthcare and frontline workers fight COVID-19 by filtering particulates, bacteria and viruses. The project will create 50 new jobs at O2 Canada and 25 at Barrie-based Jomi Technical Services, who partnered with O2 to manufacture the respirator.
And the province is also investing $1,475,000 in Concord-based Ronco to help the company establish the production capacity to manufacture surgical masks and respirators at its Ontario plant, replacing production that is currently happening in China. The company will establish three surgical mask production lines to make more than three million masks monthly and will add one N95 respirator production line to make up to 260,000 respirators monthly.
"As our fight against COVID-19 continues, we need Ontario's top-notch entrepreneurs and innovators to continue to work with us and help mobilize our manufacturing and innovation might," said Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. "That's why we are supporting companies like O2 Canada, Ronco and Swenco to provide a made-in-Ontario solution to reduce our dependence on foreign supply chains, strengthen our domestic capacity and be better prepared for the future."

SOLENOID BACKGROUND
Shown here are some typical features common to many superconducting solenoid magnet systems. TwinSol's magnets were manufactured by Cryomagnetics, Inc. of Oak Ridge, TN (send mail to: Cryomagnetics@aol.com) based on designs provided by the University of Michigan Nuclear Physics Group.
The original concept of a dual superconducting solenoid spectrometer is from J.P. Schapira, et al [1,2] at IPN-ORSAY. The specific designs for TwinSol are based upon our group's experiences with using superconducting solenoids to utilize and study secondary radioactive nuclear beams [3,4,5,6,7]. The solenoid shown at the left (BIGSOL) [8] is a large ( 7 tesla, 40 cm warm-bore ) magnet that is similar to the ones used in TwinSol. This particular magnet was installed by our group at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. A smaller 3.5T solenoid (L'ilSol) was used for many years at UND for RNB research.

Federal Court Invalidates New Overtime Rule
By Sean McCrory, Maury Baskin, Rob Friedman, and Tammy McCutchen on
On August 31, 2017, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas granted summary judgment for a diverse coalition of 55 business groups, led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and joined by numerous state governments, challenging the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) redefinition of who qualifies as an exempt employee under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).1 The decision effectively nullifies the DOL rule in its entirety. Had the rule gone into effect, it would have more than doubled the minimum salary level for exempt white collar employees from $455 per week ($23,660 annually) to $913 per week ($47,476 annually).
The court previously preliminarily enjoined the rule from taking effect, on a nationwide basis, on November 22, 2016. The DOL filed an appeal from that preliminary injunction, which remains pending at this time. But that appeal is likely rendered moot by the district court's new decision, which converts the preliminary injunction into a final judgment declaring the rule to be "invalid" for all purposes.
In the new, final order, the court held that the DOL's doubling of the salary requirement was an unwarranted departure from Congress's unambiguous intent to exempt executive, administrative and professional (EAP) employees based on the duties they perform instead of using an arbitrarily high and increasing salary amount to define who is exempt. The new rule would have increased the salary level for exempt employees every three years and would have excluded 4.2 million employees from the EAP exemption even though these employees perform exempt job duties.
The court's decision means the previous injunction blocking the new rule from going into effect will remain in place permanently, absent a new appeal (if successful) by the DOL. The Department has 60 days to decide whether to file a new appeal, and there are strong reasons for it not to do so, including the fact that the Department has published a Request for Information in preparation for a new rulemaking to reconsider the entire salary threshold issue.
The new decision is important because it answers a number of questions that had been raised regarding the earlier preliminary injunction. First, the court made clear that the rule was enjoined before its scheduled effective date of December 1, 2016, so that the rule never went into effect. The court also made clear that the scope of the preliminary injunction protected all businesses and state governments nationwide from compliance with the new rule, notwithstanding some recent claims to the contrary. Finally, the court clarified its previous order by holding that it did not find the DOL entirely lacking in authority to set a salary threshold (the primary issue on which the Department filed its original appeal). Rather, the court held only that the Department lacked authority to set a salary threshold so high that it defeated the purpose of the FLSA to establish a functional test for exempt status based upon job duties.
Littler Mendelson and Littler's Workplace Policy Institute will continue to take a leadership role in litigating and commenting on this important topic, and we will be specifically filing comments with the DOL in response to its Request for Information on possible reconsideration of the salary threshold in light of the court's new decision.

Coventry Rugby: "Going back to what we are good at" ahead of Ealing Trailfinders clash
Greene King IPA Championship match at Butts Park Arena on Saturday
Coventry Rugby seek to take advantage of spring conditions over the remainder of the Greene King IPA Championship season, beginning with Saturday's visit from Ealing (3pm kick off).
Despite their last-time-out reverse at London Scottish, seventh-placed Cov remain within touching distance of becoming the first newly-promoted club for more than a decade to claim a top half finish in English rugby's second tier.
And according to director of rugby Rowland Winter, his team's quest for a winning finale will see them revisit aspects of the attacking approach which characterised their National One promotion season.
"We've been a bit stuck between two styles of rugby over the last few weeks," Winter explained. "Typically, the Championship approach has been to kick the ball, defend well, look for territory and play the percentages.
Picture shows Max Trimble in action for Cov
"What got us promoted last year was a faster, more free-flowing running game and over the last couple of months we've been flipping from one to the other and haven't managed to find any middle ground.
"We've therefore decided that we are going back to what we are good at for the last five games of the season since we think it best represents of our brand of rugby.
"This week we're really concentrating on making sure our game-plan from training comes through at the weekend and if we manage that we have enough quality to cause Ealing some problems."
Those not involved in the Blue-and-White squad that comprehensively beat the RAF last Wednesday evening have enjoyed a short break since their club's round 17 defeat at London Scottish.
And according to their director of rugby this enables Cov 's coaching group to select from a squad missing only its long-term injury victims plus the suspended Alex Woolford.

"Everyone is fit and fresh and we don't envisage making too many changes to the side that played London Scottish," he said.
"Saints have a Premiership Shield game on Monday, so Tom Emery and Jamal Ford-Robinson are not involved with us this weekend. We'll then look at their situation again ahead of the game at Yorkshire Carnegie next weekend.
"New signing Will Owen is now fully fit and has impressed in training. He comes into the selection picture for Saturday against Ealing as does Max Trimble who played 80 minutes against the RAF last week, scored a try and created a few more and is looking really sharp."
Saturday's opponents are eight points behind London Irish at the top of the table. But with the two title contenders due to meet on the last day of the season, they remain very much in contention for the one available promotion place.
Coventry RFC director of rugby Rowland Winter
"We're expecting Saturday to be really tough," Winter confirmed. "Ealing have a fantastic squad put together by Ben Ward and are aspiring to become a Premiership outfit. They have worked very hard and spent quite a bit of money to establish a rugby programme that puts them at the top of the table.
"When we went down there we were the second-best team on the pitch to the tune of 60-odd points. While we have some work to do to turn that around, we are also really looking forward to playing them at the Butts Park Arena where our record is good."
Advanced tickets for this Saturday's Greene King IPA Championship clash with Ealing, preferentially priced at £18 (seated), £15 (standing) and £2 (ages three to 16) are available before 4pm on Friday from the Butts Park Arena ticket office on 02476 231001.

Southie brothers, inspired by Donald Trump, attacked and urinated on Hispanic homeless man, police say
"Donald Trump was right. All of these illegals need to be deported," one of the brothers told police, according to the DA.

Scott Leader|Suffolk County District Attorney's Office
Two Southie brothers were held without bail after they were arraigned for urinating on and stomping a sleeping Hispanic homeless man, an attack police say was semi-inspired by the firey words of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
As the paramedics took him to Boston Medical Center, a homeless man told investigators that when he woke up, two men were urinating on him. They then ransacked his belongings and beat him with their fist and a metal pole.
Scott and Steve Leader pleaded not guilty to several counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, indecent exposure and making threats in Dorchester District Court on Wednesday.
Assistant District Attorney Andrew Kettlewell recommended they be held without bail, saying that there was "clear and convincing evidence that no conditions of release will reasonably assure the safety of any other person or the community."
State Police troopers assigned to the South Boston barracks were on patrol at about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday when they responded to a report of two men beating another with a metal pole at the JFK/UMass T station. Witnesses told authorities that two men beat a sleeping 58-year-old homeless man, and walked away laughing. The man was treated for a broken nose, serious bruising to the torso and other injuries.
"These allegations are sickening," Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley said. "Withholding bail was absolutely appropriate given the facts as we understand them. Just as important, however, is that several witnesses stepped up, contacted police and gave full statements when they witnessed a vicious, unprovoked crime. They did the right thing here, and we're grateful to them for recognizing the urgency of the situation."
According to the DA, both brothers were well known to the police.
Take a swing at the Donald Trump piñata
Half of New Yorkers fear a hate crime
Scott Leader allegedly made a series of incriminating statements, including that he and his brother "tuned up" an "illegal immigrant," and that their actions were acceptable because the victim was homeless and Hispanic.
Police say he told them, "Donald Trump was right. All of these illegals need to be deported."
When told of the assault, Trump told the Boston Globe: "It would be a shame . . . I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate," the Globe reported.
The Boston Globe reported that Scott Leader spent a year locked up for a hate crime after he attacked a Moroccan man in Boston a few days after Sept. 11 in reaction to the terrorist attacks.
Steve Leader allegedly exposed his genitals to the troopers several times and urinated on the door and floor of the cell block. He allegedly stated that he would "kick the [expletive]" out of the troopers if he weren't in the cell.
This attack came on the same day as an immigrants rights rally at the State House, where activists called on Gov. Charlie Baker to change his stance on laws designed to help undocumented immigrants. They also used the rally as a chance to call out the dangerous xenophobic language Trump has used in discussing immigration, which has helped him soar in voter polls.

Boris Johnson isn't the only candidate for prime minister that backed the Vote Leave £350m to EU campaign
Tom Coburg
This article was updated on 9 June at 13:35 to remove Graham Stringer's name. He was previously included in the list of Conservative MPs.
Former UK foreign secretary and mayor of London Boris Johnson MP has been summonsed to attend court to face charges of misconduct in a public office. The allegation is that by promoting the infamous '£350m to the EU' in the lead-up to the 2016 referendum campaign, he lied to the British public.
But Johnson wasn't the only leading Tory to approve the ads. Indeed, as well as Johnson, four other potential contenders for the job of prime minister are listed as backing the campaign that included the ads.
Preliminary court ruling
District judge Margot Coleman stated:
The prosecution (applicant) expressly informed the proposed defendant that it could provide… exculpatory material to the court at this stage. Whilst the proposed defendant was not obliged to, he has tendered no such explanation or material.
She concluded:
Having considered all the relevant factors, I am satisfied that this is a proper case to issue the summons as requested for the three offences [of misconduct in a public office].
The judge also ruled that the hearing Johnson will face will be in open court, and so reporting restrictions were lifted. She emphasised that this was because much of the material referred to is in the public domain.
Johnson is now required to attend court for a preliminary hearing. The offence carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Johnson denies all wrongdoing.
The ads
The £350m to the EU claim that Johnson is accused of promoting was an integral part of the ads published by the official Leave campaign, Vote Leave.
A package of Vote Leave ads was also presented to a parliamentary committee by Facebook as part of an inquiry into fake news. Here's one of the ads that includes the claim that is in dispute:
Vote Leave's website continues to include this claim.
And it goes on
And there were more contentious ads. Not forgetting this video, which promotes the alleged incorrect figure of £350 million and highly questionable claims about other countries joining the EU. It is still available on the Vote Leave website:
Or this Vote Leave tweet that featured Johnson:
Great response for the first day of the #BattleBus in the South West today. Let's #TakeControl on 23 June pic.twitter.com/rxgAW2zVKx
— Vote Leave (@vote_leave) May 11, 2016
And the Vote Leave website still argues the case:
All down to Boris?
Boris Johnson and Michael Gove MP fronted the Vote Leave campaign (the latter is listed as co-convenor). But they were joined by many prominent politicians, including MPs who are now vying for the position of prime minister.
As well as Johnson and Gove, other potential PM contenders listed on the Vote Leave website as committee members include Andrea Leadsom, Steve Baker, and Dominic Raab. Other Conservative MP/MEPs listed as committee members include Nigel Dodds, Ian Duncan Smith, Liam Fox, Chris Grayling, Dan Hannan, Priti Patel, Theresa Villiers, and John Whittingdale.
The Canary contacted all the people named in this article but had not received a response at the time of publication.
The question must be asked: where does collective responsibility begin and end?
Ultimately, there are also questions about integrity and whether individuals are fit persons to hold public office or even become prime minister.

Gosh! Even though us Brexit folk weren't so naive as to be taken in by the electioneering hype (who is when any election bandies about 'vote-garnering economies of truth'?) perhaps we 17.4 million Brexiteers should own up too to being complicit and turn up at Johnson's court to plea "guilty as well mi lud" 🙂

Not Just Malmö
Posted by William A. Jacobson Tuesday, July 27, 2010 at 09:15am 8 Comments
I previously posted about how Jews were being driven out of Malmö, Sweden, by violence from Muslim immigrants tolerated by anti-Israel leftists, Malmö Syndrome.
As I made clear in that post, Malmö Syndrome was just one of many examples of how anti-Semitism inevitably rises from the Islamist-Leftist anti-Israel coalition.
This report from Germany (h/t It Don't Make Sense) shows that the Islamists are willing to join forces with right wing extremists as well, The Shared Extremism of Neo-Nazis and Migrant Youth:
Following an anti-Semitic attack in Hanover, German authorities have identified a new source of anti-Semitic hatred in Germany: young migrants from Muslim families. The ideological alliance has officials concerned.
It was supposed to be a carefree festival in Sahlkamp on the outskirts of the northern German city of Hanover. Billed as an "International Day" to celebrate social diversity and togetherness, the June celebration included performances by a multicultural children's choir called "Happy Rainbow" and the German-Turkish rap duo 3-K. Music from Afghanistan was also on the program.
But then the mood suddenly shifted.
When Hajo Arnds, the organizer of the neighborhood festival, stepped onto the stage at about 6:45 p.m. to announce the next performance, by the Jewish dance group Chaverim, he was greeted with catcalls. "Jews out!" some of the roughly 30 young people standing in front of the stage began shouting. "Gone with the Jews!"
The voices were those of children — voices full of hate, shouted in unison and amplified by a toy megaphone. Arnds, the organizer, was shocked. He knew many of the children, most of them from Arab immigrant families in the neighborhood….
An informal and accidental alliance has been developing for some time between neo-Nazis and some members of a group they would normally despise: Muslim immigrants. The two groups seem to share vaguely similar anti-Semitic ideologies.
Right-wing extremists and Islamists, says Heinz Fromm, the president of the German domestic intelligence agency, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), are united by "a common bogeyman: Israel and the Jews as a whole."
While German right-wing extremists cultivate a "more or less obvious racist anti-Semitism," says Fromm, the Islamists are "oriented toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict" and support "anti-Zionist ideological positions, which can also have anti-Jewish and anti-Semitic overtones." Both extremist movements, says Fromm, "ascribe extraordinary political power to Israel and the Jews, and their goal is to fight this power."
There is a common denominator in Malmö and Hanover. And it's not just the involvement of Muslim immigrants.
The common denominator is hatred of Israel, which almost always serves as a thinly veiled proxy for hatred of Jews.
Update: Thanks to a reader for reminding me that the connection between anti-Jewish Muslims and Nazis goes way back. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Adolf Hitler were mutual admirers.

I am disturbed by the tone of the the Der Spiegel article, where the writer seems to be twisting into a veritable pretzel to admit that the thing that is pulling these two groups together is hatred of the Jewish people.
It may be illegal in Germany to do or say anything pro-Nazi, but it seems that "tolerance" has allowed the Germans to allow anti-Semitic ideas to flourish among the people.
You reap what you sow. Rather than work to change the hearts of people, they implemented laws. Laws don't change how people feel, and only work for so long to keep deep-seated feelings in check.
Europe has allowed, without limit, a mass immigration of people known to be hostile to Israel and Jews. Neo-Nazi groups have been growing for years in Europe – again, virtually unchecked. You reap what you sow.
I pray for the peace of Israel, and the end to persecution of the Jewish people. My biggest fear: when things get out of control, will there be an America to help, to rescue the world from such evil and hatred, tyranny and oppression? Anti-Semitism is a cancer that has been growing undiagnosed and untreated for years…… Is our nation going to side with Israel? I pray and hope so – we as a nation must support and stand with G-d's chosen people.

now see, I don't characterize the neo-nazi or white supremacist as right-wing. nor do I tag them as left-wing. they certainly aren't in the center. simple cultural outsiders.

Yeah I have a hard time characterizing the Nazi movements as right-wing as well. They have a few small trappings of it (respect for tradition and a more restrictive moral outlook) but utterly reject much of conservatism including all of its fiscal and economic aspects.

Palestinian President Abbas Arrives On 4-Day India Visit
In July, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will travel to Israel, the first Indian Prime Minister to do so.
All India | Press Trust of India | Updated: May 14, 2017 22:55 IST
A discussion between President Abbas and PM Modi will be held on May 16. (Reuters)
New Delhi: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas arrived here today on a four-day visit during which he will hold extensive talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on key bilateral, regional and international issues, including the Middle East peace process.
"Welcoming an important guest. Mr Mahmoud Abbas, President of the State of Palestine arrives in Delhi," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Gopal Baglay tweeted.
Ahead of President Abbas' visit, India reiterated its "political support" to the Palestinian cause and had said it continued to assist developmental projects there.
The visit will provide an opportunity for reviewing the entire gamut of bilateral relations, the Middle East peace process, and regional and international issues, external affairs ministry said.
Several MoUs on cooperation in various areas are also expected to be signed during the visit, the ministry added.
A delegation-level discussion between President Abbas and PM Modi will be held on May 16.
"India and Palestine enjoy historically close and friendly ties. Apart from the political support to the Palestinian cause, India continues to support developmental projects in Palestine by extending technical and financial assistance," the ministry had said in a release yesterday.
The statement assumes significance given that there have been commentaries on the increasing proximity between the PM Modi government and Israel which may have a bearing on New Delhi's relations with Palestine.
In July, PM Modi will travel to Israel, the first Indian Prime Minister to do so.
During his trip to India, President Abbas will visit C-DAC (the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing) in Noida tomorrow to forge cooperation between Palestine-India Techno Park, being built by India in Palestine, and the Indian IT industry.

Australian PM proposes defamation laws forcing social platforms to unmask trolls
Anonymity may no longer be an option for online trolls in Australia
By Emma Roth Nov 28, 2021, 3:46pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Australian PM proposes defamation laws forcing social platforms to unmask trolls
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is introducing new defamation laws that would force online platforms to reveal the identities of trolls, or else pay the price of defamation. As ABC News Australia explains, the laws would hold social platforms, like Facebook or Twitter, accountable for defamatory comments made against users.
Platforms will also have to create a complaint system that people can use if they feel that they're a victim of defamation. As a part of this process, the person who posted the potentially defamatory content will be asked to take it down. But if they refuse, or if the victim is interested in pursuing legal action, the platform can then legally ask the poster for permission to reveal their contact information.
And if the platform can't get the poster's consent? The laws would introduce an "end-user information disclosure order," giving tech giants the ability to reveal a user's identity without permission. If the platforms can't identify the troll for any reason — or if the platforms flat-out refuse — the company will have to pay for the troll's defamatory comments. Since the law is specific to Australia, it appears that social networks wouldn't have to identify trolls located in other countries.
"The online world should not be a wild west"
"The online world should not be a wild west where bots and bigots and trolls and others are anonymously going around and can harm people," Morrison said during a press conference. "That is not what can happen in the real world, and there is no case for it to be able to be happening in the digital world"
As noted by ABC News Australia, a draft of the "anti-troll" legislation is expected this week, and it likely won't reach Parliament until the beginning of next year. It still remains unclear which specific details the platforms would be asked to collect and disclose. Even more concerning, we still don't know how severe the case of defamation would have to be to warrant revealing someone's identity. A loose definition of defamation could pose serious threats to privacy.
The proposed legislation is part of a larger effort to overhaul Australia's defamation laws. In September, Australia's High Court ruled that news sites are considered "publishers" of defamatory comments made by the public on their social media pages, and should be held liable for them. This has caused outlets like CNN to block Australians from accessing their Facebook page altogether. However, the ruling potentially poses implications for individuals running social pages, as the ruling implies that they can also be held responsible for any defamatory comments left on their pages.


titanium or its alloy resembling screws, which actually bond with the living bone structure of the jaw. Dental Implants have been around for many years. Developed in the 60's they have evolved into the present day implant.
This model shows the versatility of dental implants. They can be used virtually anywhere in the mouth for the replacement of one or all of your teeth.
A person missing a tooth, or teeth, can be an ideal candidate for implants, especially when your smile reveals missing teeth!
Also, if you are uncomfortable with the way your dentures fit.
Loose dentures are causing sore gums because of friction or food trapped under the bridgework.
Perhaps loose teeth from gum disease need support.
Dental implants can give you a new base to support new teeth that function and feel like natural teeth.
When are dental implants best advised?
Especially in a visible area in front, or where a missing tooth may best be replaced with a supportive tooth required for a bridge.
Replacement of the entire dental arch.
Without teeth, the jawbone looses mass over time. Without a solid base, loose dentures have a tendency to irritate the gums... causing pain and sores while trapping food under the denture.
Implants combined with clips or attachments can make them fit tight.
however this in not a long-term solution.
We administer gentle treatment of the bone by the surgeon to ensure successful treatments. Discomfort is held to a minimum, as your comfort and safety is our greatest concern!
Relatively speaking, for the long-term medical and aesthetic values, the cost is low. Your trip to Costa Rica will virtually be paid for by the very affordable treatment available here at the Dental Wellness Clinic.
Number of implants needed ?
Ideally one implant per missing tooth, but it depends on the type of bridge.
What if I am missing several teeth ?
Depending on your specific needs, your dentist could offer you diferent options like fixed, fixed-removable or removable bridges.
What if I have no teeth ?
FIXED - Removed periodically by your dentist.
FIXED REMOVABLE - Works like fixed with the easy access for hygiene.
It will need to be controled, and remove teeth with poor prognosis before placing the implants, improving your esthetics and function.
How long will they work ?
For life, as long as you maintain a healthy mouth, that is way we recomend periodic cleaning.
How can implants be used to replace teeth?
This is an example of how our office uses a single tooth implant to replace a missing tooth. The biggest advantage of this type of treatment is that the adjacent teeth do not need to be cut down to support a bridge. Implant acts as the root of the tooth and when the final crown is placed, it gives you a fully functional replacement of your missing teeth. Single tooth implants can be placed anywhere in the mouth as far back as the 2nd molar region.
We can also place multiple implants and a bridge on top of the implants. The traditional alternative to this treatment, a removable partial denture, can be completely avoided. This treatment is perfect for the anterior or posterior portion of the mouth. The advantage over a partial denture is the implant bridge stays in the mouth and cannot be removed, just like your natural teeth. Also it does not cause unnecessary damage to the other teeth in the mouth the way a partial denture does.
If you are currently wearing dentures, implants can dramatically change your life. We can either eliminate your denture or give it an incredible amount of retention. The implant acts a root allowing the dentist to snap the denture onto the implants. To the left you can see a typical over denture. The bar is screwed into the implants. The denture has special clips processed into its base that snap on the bar. This gives you a denture that does not move in the mouth.
Dental implants are a remarkable discovery in dentistry. They allow us to predictably replace missing teeth in patients. Now people who have been wearing partials and dentures can get rid of these cumbersome items and have teeth that stay permanently in the mouth.
Even if your are missing a single tooth, implants can help you avoid cutting down healthy teeth to place a bridge.
Whether you are missing one or all of your teeth, implants can be used to give you back a natural and strong bite.
Dental implants are a miracle according to some of our patients. Call our office to see how dental implants can benefit you.
I have cavities and missing teeth. Can I still have Implants placed?
Before any Implants can be placed, the mouth must be free of any disease. Meaning that any cavities or periodontal disease must be taken care or prior to implant placement. Failure to do so can jeopardize the health and longevity of the implants. Once all disease is under control, Implant placement can proceed.
Who can have Dental Implants Placed?
Basically, anyone who is healthy enough to undergo minor surgery can be a candidate for dental implant surgery. The only people who are unfit to undergo implant surgery are uncontrolled diabetics and smokers. Almost all other medical conditions can be managed.
I smoke. Can I still have implants placed?
Smoking greatly reduces the integration rate of dental implants, meaning that the bone fails to grow into the implants. This can cause not only infection and loss of the implant, but can damage the bone so as to prevent future implant placement in case the patient ever decides to stop smoking.
What if my implant fails to integrate into the bone?
Currently the success rate of dental implants is around 95-97%. Yes there is a small risk that the implant will fail to integrate, but we do everything in our office to ensure that the patient undergoes an uneventful surgery with successful implant placement and integration. If unsuccessful integration occurs, the area in the jawbone is cleaned out and allowed to heal and a new implant is placed a few weeks later.
That is an unfair question. Just as you have lost your natural teeth, there is a chance that you may lose your implant. However, currently there is a 95% success rate for implants after 10 years. This means that if 100 implants are placed in 100 patients, 95 will still have functioning implants after a decade. I lost my teeth to cavities and periodontal disease.
Now that I have Implants I never have to worry about going to the dentist again. Right?
Nothing could be further from the truth. Although it is true that the implant cannot decay like a natural tooth, It is still susceptible to infection that can destroy the supporting bone. Therefore it is imperative to get regular follow-ups and preventive care to make sure your implants have a long and healthy life.
What exactly is the procedure and how long does it take?
There are several steps involved in the placement of a dental implant. They will be briefly outlined for you below. The first step is to do a complete and thorough exam on the patient. All appropriate records will be taken at this time. The doctor will then go through the records and determine if you are a candidate for dental implants and what type of final restoration is appropriate. The second step is the case presentation where the doctor will inform you of all treatment options and costs involved. At this time a surgery date will be scheduled. The day of the surgery, wear loose comfortable clothing. Arrive 1/2 hour early to that any last minute instructions can be given. You will be led into the surgical room and anesthetized. The Implant placement will last anywhere from 1/2 to 1 1/2hours depending on the complexity of the case. On a later date a second minor surgery is performed. At this appointment a small incision is made in the gum tissue to uncover the implant. Once the implant is exposed, an Abutment is placed on the implant. The abutment is the portion of the implant onto which the final crown is placed. After placement of the abutment, a temporary crown is placed on it. This allows the tissue to heal around the implant. After the tissue is healed, an impression is taken and sent to the lab for fabrication of the final crown. The crown is then cemented.
