Scotland votes today. As everyone realizes, whether it is yes or no, independence or union, the nation state and body politic in Britain have changed. And the changes have been coming for quite a while.
Is this all about nationalism? There has been little reference in the reporting I've followed to the old components of Scottish national identity – the heritage of highlands and lowlands with the old heroes and stories so well articulated by the likes of Burns and Scott in the century and a half following the union in 1707.
Here's William Wallace as imagined by the sculptor commissioned by David Steuart Erskine, 11th Earl of Buchan – a thirty foot sentinel looking out over the borders (and on the Bemersyde estate – [Link]).
It was unveiled almost exactly two hundred years ago on 22 September 1814 and is the earliest monument to thirteenth-century Wallace, the petty nobleman who mobilized opposition to Edward Longshanks of England's claim to the Scottish throne. The Earl was something of an eccentric. Passionate about recording and conserving anything to do with Scotland, he founded the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 1780. Another antiquary, Walter Scott, complained of the Earl's "immense vanity" though he shared his dreams of forging Scottish identity out of the remains of historical experience.
The "imagined identities" of Scottish nationalism, to use Benedict Anderson's term, are not the issue. Nobody's identity is at stake.
Linda Colley, Princeton historian, has commented on the volatility of national imaginings so conspicuously missed, misunderstood, ignored by so many Westminster (and Holyrood) politicians [Link]. It's the character of nation state that is changing, with impulses to find local belonging and the feeling that you matter somehow in a runaway globalist world. Heritage is never a firm foundation for a stable sense of belonging.
Disillusionment with government by Tories in London, and with an out-of-touch Labour movement is, as James Naughtie says, a particular manifestation of the wider loss of faith in established leadership that goes far beyond the Scottish question.
Now some may say – ah yes but Yes is a rainbow coalition – the very essence of democratic pluralism. But you have to ask yourself with so many groups all tugging in so many directions what makes a separate Scotland any different from the rest of the UK with its democratic conflicts, its mess? Democracy is a daily struggle, an ongoing fight to reconcile differing opinions and ideologies, of contesting facts and plans and shouldering the burdens we inherit from history. It's hard, it's exhausting, it's frustrating and it's all about compromise. So why do we need to leave the union to engage in this painful process we call democracy?
Democratic diversity, so well witnessed in the run up to this referendum, lost in the only two answers to the question posed by all heritage – are you an insider or outsider?

Why is it worth investing in a GPS tracking device? Such systems are highly beneficial for regular customers, but also for business owners that want to track down their fleet easily. A car tracker GPS helps track down a vehicle in case it gets stolen, so there is no waiting around for others to act or wondering at all times if the vehicle is safe and for how long.
Business owners are able to save a lot of time and money thanks to a GPS tracking device. They can put it into the driver's car and they get notifications each time the car moves, its location and other important information. This way, employers know exactly if the drivers are doing their job, and if they respect the given routes. More to it, many car thefts take place nowadays, so it pays off to take extra safety measures and buy a tracker to avoid or better manage critical situations. Once you have a tracker, you can easily track down the car and you even receive notifications if someone has stolen it.
The good news is that the car tracker GPS has a compact size, which makes it hard to trace by thieves. More to it, regular drivers can use it for personal purposes. It happens in many cases to have a family member that drives too fast or might take the car without permission. Using the tracker, you will always know when this happens, and you know where the driver is. In such cases, you can take actions or at least have peace of mind. Knowing what to look for in a tracker is important, to make sure you invest your money correctly and buy the right product.
Trackers are available in many shapes and sizes and with many specifications. There are two main types, real-time trackers and passive ones. The real-time GPS tracker establishes connections via satellite and establishes the vehicle's location. The tracker sends notifications regarding location via mobile phones, laptops and such. Back in the days, not many people had access to such technology, but thanks to latest advancements, everyone can enjoy it. On the other time, the passive GPS tracker communicates with satellites as well, but information is not transmitted, it is stored within the device and it can be downloaded at a certain point.
Design is also an important consideration. There are wired devices, connected to the vehicle's power source, ideal for long-term tracking. Business owners are the ones using such systems, as they want to track down their employees and know their location, record their activity. A wireless tracker device is one of the most popular choices nowadays, they work with batteries and they can be used once they are taken out of the box. Many people use it for personal use, it is more convenient to move it around and use it on various vehicles.
Do you want to buy a GPS tracking device (https://back2you.com)? It is very useful, and it comes with many functionalities. Find out more about the available choices and get a car tracker GPS (https://back2you.com) for professional or personal use.

Teen TV and That Boy
2009, boys, TV
Yesterday I was thinking about what had become of Adam Brody and how he being typecast as Seth Cohen hadn't helped him out any… then I got the idea to write a blog about the "that boy" character, but then I watched an episode of the OC as "research" and one turned into 5 and that's why it's taken me this long.
In an attempt to explain the that boy character I've made a list of qualities that the character in question should possess, not all are compulsory, but we're looking for a good solid 4 out of 6 to qualify.
That boy cannot get the girl too early
That boy must skateboard
That boy must like comics/books/movies to an unhealthy degree
That boy must be picked on by jocks
That boy must have a female best friend ( who is usually secretly in love with him, while he lusts after the prettier more popular girl)
That boy must have a strong moral code
That boy maintains a GPA in the high threes.
That boy always has a wisecracking remark to add.
In the medium of teen TV the original that boy can be traced back to Brian Krackow in My So Called Life. As this was an early attempt the writers hadn't yet figured out that this character had to be hot as well as nerdy. Alas for poor Brian his ridiculous hair and love of corduroy got in the way of Angela crushing on him, who knows though, had they made a second season and Brian had gotten a makeover…..
There wasn't really a that boy in Party of 5, Griffin was basically Catalano and Justin was too fricken nice (and not indie enough) luckily though along came Kevin Williamson offering up a TV show with not one, but two that boys, and this time they were best friends. Pacey and Dawson both qualify, yet both are lacking something, combined though Capeside's finest become an almost unbeatable that boy. Bad boy with moral code, amazing artistic sensibilities and a GPA to match? Wowzers.
Around the same time in the small town of Sunnydale CA, a that boy was emerging in the form of Xander Harris, sidekick and member of the Scoobies, in season one he showed much promise as a that boy. Willow's unrequited love for him, his skating antics and crush on Buffy all stood him in good stead, but as the seasons drew on and the characters grew more complex, Xander transformed before our eyes, into an actual man.
In Stars Hollow, Jesse had that boy potential, but although bookish and troubled he was way too cool and attractive to ever pull it off.
On to the most important boy in all of Orange County. Seth Cohen is the ULTIMATE that boy, the that boy which all other boys will aspire to be, he possesses all the required qualities (sans the female best friend, although it can be argued Anna played that role from time to time) to such an extent that I remember the show as being about Seth, when really he was only ever supposed to serve as Ryan's wisecracking BFF.
The current contender to the throne is one Dan Humphrey. Yes Dan has a similar self-deprecating witticism, but the fact he started dating Serena in episode one? really.. come on now.
As bookish girls who liked comics, we fell in love with these ficitional characters in the hope that they actually did exist, what we didn't realise at the time was all these characters are written by former real life that boys (Joss Whedon, Josh Schwartz I'm looking at YOU) who really did want to date the Prom Queen.
Hell though, a girl can dream…

What's the big deal with RAVE anyways?
RAVE's vision is to make disciples. Our model is based on the way Jesus did his ministry, especially dealing with the Great Commission where he says, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
These things make up the nature of discipleship. Jesus had 12 followers, was really close with 3 of them, and changed the world. It was then that these disciples were ready to go into the world and make other disciples. We believe the way Jesus did things is the best way to change the world for the greater good of the Kingdom. It doesn't have to be some huge Christian campaign to change lives.
Bob Goff, author of Love Does once said, "You want to change the world? Start by being with people. Be with them!"
Go. The first commandment Jesus tells us to do. This is possibly the hardest thing to do once deciding to become a disciple. To take the first step. To find someone to pour your life into. By going and doing, we can be Christ to the world.
Baptism is so crucial to one's faith. It symbolizes our wanting to be like Jesus and begin the journey to follow Him. Although it is a symbol of our confession and our sins are washed away, baptism is both a physical and spiritual emersion, in which Christ makes us a new person.
Jesus tells us to teach, or to equip others. This can look many different ways, but one common thread must be Jesus. Without Christ, nothing matters. We must always be teaching in order to disciple someone else or even ourselves.

With $15.6 million gross revenue in 2006, ALERT's parent company exceeded 2005 gross revenues by 100%.
This mirrors growth of 2004 to 2005 when gross revenues of $3 million and $7 million, respectively, also represented a 100% rate of growth.
The company remains as optimistic for the 2007 fiscal year and is projecting gross revenues of $25 million.


Between 1955 and 1957, Grünenthal asked several doctors to test K 17 (Thalidomide) on humans. The Aachen prosecutors, who indicted company owner Hermann Wirtz and eight leading Grünenthal employees in 1967, concluded in their investigation that most of these testers did not have the required qualification or experience in testing new substances.
Grünenthal handed Thalidomide out to testers from different kinds of fields, among them lung specialists, psychiatrists, dermatologists and other specialists. Grünenthal asked those doctors to specially look at the applications of K 17 in their specific fields. Most of the testers reported positively on K 17, but many also mentioned various side effects, including, dizziness, headaches, constipation -and also at least one case of "light paraesthesia".
Thalidomide was also tested at a woman's hospital but never on pregnant women.

Meet the Billionaire Who Gave Away Everything He Made. $8 Billion Altogether
Forbes magazine once called him the "James Bond of philanthropy." Meet Chuck Feeney, an American businessman, and philanthropist who made his fortune as a co-founder of the Duty-Free Shoppers Group, which pioneered the concept of "duty-free shopping."
"You can only wear one pair of pants at a time," Mr. Feeney has said.
Feeney is also the founder of The Atlantic Philanthropies, one of the largest private foundations in the world. For years, he gave away his fortune in secret, until a business dispute resulted in his identity being revealed in 1997. His commitment to philanthropy — which has inspired donations totaling over $8 billion, has been dedicated to education, research, civil rights, youth and aging.
Last month, he gave away the last of his fortune.
Nearly five years ago, Charles F. Feeney sat in a cushy armchair in an apartment on the east side of Manhattan, grandchildren's artwork taped to the walls, and said that by the end of 2016, he was going to hand out the last of a great fortune that he had made.
It was a race: Mr. Feeney was then 81, and Atlantic Philanthropies, a collection of private foundations he had started and funded, still had about $1.5 billion left. Flinging money out the window or writing checks willy-nilly was not Mr. Feeney's way.
Last month, Mr. Feeney and Atlantic completed the sprint and made a final grant, $7 million to Cornell University, to support students doing community service work.

Las Vegas Restaurant Revolution: Celebrity Chefs And Michelin-Stars At Reborn Resort
Seventeen years ago, the Palms casino resort opened as the darling of Hollywood celebrities and professional athletes, with its over the top theme suites, NBA team ownership connections and location setting for an MTV series. But Vegas visitors love shiny new things, and as several larger properties opened in the interim, the luster faded a little for the Palms. Not anymore. Now under new ownership (Stations Casino), the hotel is wrapping up a massive top-to-bottom $620 million re-imagining that has improved nearly every inch of the resort, from $25,000 a night jaw dropping luxury "Sky Villa" suites to a multi-million-dollar contemporary art collection to several new bars and lounges, but most of all, the dining scene has been totally transformed. In its original incarnation, the Palms was one of the few big hotels without a laundry list of celebrity chefs and famed restaurants, but that has changed dramatically, and suddenly the Palms is a must-visit Vegas dining destination – whether you stay here or not.
On the culinary front, the first big opening of note was Scotch 80 Prime, which artfully combines two things Vegas is obsessed with – whiskey and red meat. In the land of high-end steakhouses, Scotch 80 is the hottest new option in town, and the latest among a handful of Vegas eateries authorized to import and serve authentic Kobe beef, still a rarity confined to less than two dozen spots in the nation, with most menus containing "Kobe" blatantly fraudulent. Besides rare Japanese beef there is plenty of aged USDA Prime, and the restaurant is carving a signature out of dramatic and flashy tableside presentations such as a Mesquite Fired Crustacean Tower that arrives on fire, a Liquid Nitro Dessert Trolley serving a Fire and Ice Banana Split, and a custom caviar tower carrying a round of vodka shots. But it also has big appeal to fans of brown spirits – as the name suggests, Scotch 80 Prime has a serious focus on whisky, employing a dedicated "Scotch master" who oversees a $3 million scotch inventory, which among many other things, includes more than over 35 different offerings form the highly coveted Macallan Fine & Rare collection, ranging from 1937 to 1991.
Scotch 80 Prime is a big deal, but it was just the first foodie salvo at the new Palms, which has recruited not one, not two, but three James Beard Award winning Chefs, two of them brand new names in Vegas. Within a year these will be joined by an outpost of Hong Kong's revered Michelin-starred dim sum restaurant Tim Ho Wan.
Opening in just two weeks (mid-November), Vetri Cucina is the Vegas debut for Philadelphia's beloved Marc Vetri, the very first satellite anywhere of his original Vetri Cucina, a City of Brotherly Love favorite for more than two decades. His specialty is a gourmet take on rustic Italian dishes, showcasing regional antipasti, pasta, meat, fish, and dessert offerings. Vetri signatures include a Sweet Onion Crepe with parmigiana and white truffle fonduta, Swiss Chard Gnocchi with ricotta salata and brown butter, and Capretto with polenta milled in-house. How many restaurants can say that? There are a lot of Italian eateries in Vegas, but many are mediocre, and this one has many creative dishes you won't find in the others. Vetri operates a group of four gourmet brick oven pizzerias in Philadelphia and Washington, DC that I have eaten at and was suitably wowed, and I cannot wait to check out his Palms restaurant.
In his 20+ year career, the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) grad has been named one of the country's Top 10 New Chefs by Food & Wine magazine, won the prestigious Best Chef James Beard Award, won an Emmy Award for The Chew, and is a frequent guest on several shows, including Iron Chef America, Food Feud and The Best Thing I Ever Ate. He is the author of the cookbook Carnivore and specialist in all things meat.
This may well be the single most important Vegas opening of 2018, because oddly, Sin City is the biggest dining destination in the country lacking a great BBQ joint, at least not on around the Strip. BBQ is hot nationwide, but while you can hardly take a step here without running into a sushi bar, fancy take on burgers, or steakhouse, smoked meat has largely been a black hole in Vegas (except for the excellent Latin spin on it at BBQ Mexicana in Mandalay Bay, from the award-winning Border Grill crew).
Here's the rub – Symon loves his hometown and stresses Midwest influences, and he has done the same for "Southern" barbecue, adorning it with lots of things pickled, sauces with Cleveland's famous Ballpark mustard, kielbasa, and pork-studded cabbage as a side dish. It's not a gimmick, it is excellent, and I know because I did an in-depth review of the original (and only other) Mabel's BBQ location, the Cleveland flagship, for USA Today, which you can read here. It's fantastic, and bonafide slow smoked BBQ. In fact, Symon's pickle juice and brown sugar glazed ribs are among the best in the entire country – really. He also smokes pork belly, gigantic beef ribs, and even serves up "Pig Parts," including crispy tails, crispy ears and cracklings. There's an enormous two-page whiskey list with Scotch, bourbon, rye, corn, wheat, Canadian, Irish, Japanese and private barrel offerings, and an equally impressive craft beer selection. Mabel's is not just a boon for BBQ fans in Vegas, it is a legit BBQ pilgrimage destination. The Palms location will feature a back patio, complete with games and space for live entertainment.

Google announces new features for Arab countries
$1m grant for a digital skills programme
Daily News Egypt December 11, 2019 Comments Off on Google announces new features for Arab countries
Google made a series of announcements on Tuesday, to make its products more helpful to the Arab world. The announcements are new features on Google Search, the launch of Google Assistant in 15 new countries, a new safety feature on Maps, and a $1m grant to scale digital skills programmes next year.
"Every day, people in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) turn to Google for help, to get things done and to learn new things," said Lino Cattaruzzi, Managing Director for Google in the Middle East, North Africa, and Pakistan over a statement on Tuesday.
Over the years, Google improved how their products work in Arabic, whether that was on Search, Assistant, Maps, or YouTube, Cattaruzzi mentioned, noting that "we are committed to making our products more helpful to people in the Middle East and North Africa, and to scale our digital skills programme to open opportunities for more people."
In 2018, Google launched an Arabic digital skills programme, "Maharat min Google," which has reached more than 500,000 young people, women, and underprivileged students in the MENA region.
A 2019 research by Public First research company estimates that 89% of people in the UAE and Saudi Arabia use Search once a month to learn a new skill, and 80% of online Egyptians use Google Search because it provides new information not available by other means.

TWITTER GOOF UP
Twitter an online social network and micro-blogging service that enables users to send and receive text message up to 140-characters called tweets.It was created in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey and launched that July. In an routine security check-up Twitter said that it mistakenly reset the passwords of "a large number" of its more than 140 million active users while conducting routine security screening to identify accounts that may have been compromised.
"In instances when we believe an account may have been compromised, we reset the password and send an email letting the account owner know this has happened," Twitter said in its blog on Thursday. "In this case, we unintentionally reset passwords of a larger number of accounts, beyond those that we believed to have been compromised."
Carolyn Penner, a spokeswoman for the social-networking site, declined to say how many Twitter accounts were affected by the error. She said that there had not been a security breach.

Börringe-Anderslövs Järnväg (BAJ) var en av Skånes fem ångspårvägar, det vill säga en järnväg som av ekonomiska skäl byggdes med bland annat klenare räls än normalt.

Historik
Planer för en bibana till Malmö-Ystads Järnväg med 1067 mm spårvidd från Börringe till Anderslöv fanns med i en koncession beviljad 1873. Det fanns inte tillräckligt med intressenter för att finansiera järnvägen. I början av 1880-talet gjordes ett nytt försök och nu tecknades aktier för 150 000 kronor. Malmö-Ystads Järnväg sökte en ny omarbetad koncession med 1435 mm spårvidd som godkändes den 24 mars 1882. Börringe-Anderslövs Järnvägsaktiebolag bildades 1883 och tog över koncessionen. Banan påbörjades samma år och öppnades för allmän trafik den 21 februari 1884. Banan, utan fordon, beräknades kosta 262 000 kronor.

Året därpå, 1885, erhöll bolaget koncession för en förlängning av banan med Anderslöv-Östratorps Järnväg. Östratorp ändrade 1950 namn till Smygehamn. Denna sträcka invigdes 1887, samma år som järnvägarna och bolaget bytte namn till Börringe-Östratorps Järnväg (BÖJ).

Svenska staten köpte järnvägen av Börringe-Östratorps Järnvägsaktiebolag den 1 juli 1941 och Statens Järnvägar tog över driften.

Fordon
Banan trafikerades av en ångvagn enligt Rowans system. Ursprunget kommer från Danmark, där William Robert Rowan utexperimenterade en "dampsporvej"m som först blev byggd i form av Randers-Hadsund Jernbane och Gribskovbanen var inspirationskälla för de skånska ångspårvägarna. Den första ångspårvägen i Skåne var Gärds Härads järnväg.

Inför byggandet och trafikstarten 1884 köpte bolaget ett ånglok från Nydqvist & Holm AB och en ångvagn med drivenheten från Nydqvist & Holm AB och vagnen från Atlas AB. Bolaget köpte också två personvagnar och 10 godsvagnar. I samband med förlängningen 1887 till Östratorp köptes ett tyskt lok tillverkat av Hanomag och 12 godsvagnar.

Nedläggning
Persontrafiken upphörde den 1 november 1957 och godstrafiken den 14 april 1959. Från Anderslöv fortsatte godstågen att gå till den 1 augusti 1960 på Börringe-Anderslövs Järnväg mot Klagstorp och vidare på Trelleborg-Rydsgårds Järnväg till Trelleborg. Hela järnvägen är uppriven.

Nutid
Banvallen kan skymtas på kortare sträckor och stationshusen finns kvar.

Q: In node.js and express, how should a client send a large, up to 3k, amount of data to the server? the client will be sending my server a change log, containing a list of commands and parameters, JSON or not is TBD.
This payload can be a 3 or 4K not likely to be more.
What is the standard approach to deal with requirement?
Client should send a json, containing all of the changes, as part of the request body?
Any recommendations? Lessons learned?

A: Just POST the data.  3-4 KB is nothing unless you're dealing with feature-phone WAP browsers in the middle of rural India, performance issues of the "OMG, I'm Google and care about every byte ever because of my zillion-user userbase" type, or something like that.
If you're really worried about payload size, you can gzip-base64 encode it before sending - but only do this if a) you really care about this (which is unlikely) and b) your payload is large enough that this saves you bandwidth.  (gzip-base64'ing small payloads often increases their size, since there isn't enough data to get enough compression benefit to offset the 33% size increase from base64 encoding.)

A: You can set the maximun upload size with
app.use(express.limit('5mb'));

if that's an issue?
But, there shouldn't really be any limitations on this as default, except the max buffer size (which I believe is 1GB).
It also sounds like this is something that you can just post to the server with a regular POST request, in other words you use a form with a file input and just upload the file the regular way, as 4kb isn't really a big file.

A: You can use a normal JSON post to send across 3/4K of data.
You should pay more attention to what you do with the data received on the server side, whether you buffer up all data before you start processing them (store in db or elsewhere), or process them in chunks. If you are simply dumping the data into files on server, you should create a Writable stream and pump chunks of data received into the stream.
How are you going to process the received data on the server? But then, 3/4K is not really worrying amount of data.

Virus outbreaks linked to 3 West Virginia churches
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Coronavirus outbreaks were linked to three churches in West Virginia on Wednesday as officials urged parishioners to follow safety guidelines and warned about the virus spreading into surrounding communities.
Local health authorities said Greenbrier County's Graystone Baptist Church has at least 33 cases and Ohio County's First Baptist Church has four positives, though many tests are still pending in both counties. Bloomingrose Church of Christ in Boone County has four active cases.
Republican Gov. Jim Justice and his health officials have instructed churches to follow social distancing guidelines and asked worshipers to wear masks, saying that the virus could easily pass from congregants into the general population.
"Church, our most holy and sacred ground, absolutely could be the number one spot where the biggest possibility of an outbreak could happen," Justice said.
Justice, who has pushed forward with an aggressive plan to reopen the state's economy, excluded religious entities from virus closures, deeming the facilities essential. Still, he encouraged them to hold virtual services and issued a set of safety guidelines for in-person events.
The outbreaks come after similar spikes associated with churches and other large gatherings. Several cases have emerged after a group of West Virginians recently traveled to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Health officials have acknowledged that there will be flare-ups as lockdown measures are eased and people resume normal activities.
At least 88 people in West Virginia have died from the virus and around 2,400 have tested positive, according to state health data.
For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms that clear up within weeks. But for others, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, the virus can cause severe symptoms and be fatal. The vast majority of people recover.

Atheist billboard in SLC draws attention
By: Annie Cutler , David Wells
SALT LAKE CITY -- You may have seen a new billboard along I-15 at 3300 South. American Atheists have placed the billboard promoting their national convention scheduled for Salt Lake City in April, but some consider the billboard offensive, especially to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
FOX 13 covered the story last year when the group was having trouble placing their billboards because several companies refused to put them up, but now they have at least one of their ads on display and it's drawing mixed reviews.
The billboard can be seen by thousands of drivers traveling on I-15. It shows a Salt Lake family proudly claiming they are atheists, and does so with the words "Mormons" and "Ex-Mormons" crossed out in red.
"I think it's extremely important especially in such an insular culture around Salt Lake that we really try and get the message out that there are atheists among the Salt Lake City citizens," says Kent Kingdon, Vice President of Atheists of Utah, the local chapter of American Atheists. "I think that it's very important to put people in a slight state of discomfort so that they know there are other people out there who don't necessarily subscribe to the same views that they do."
We showed the billboard ad to some Utahns, and their reactions were mixed.
"It's your own choice. You can do what you want. I don't care, as long as [it isn't] intentionally against me personally, I'm fine," said Emma Fotheringham.
Another woman we spoke with had a similar reaction, but began to sob part of the way through her interview.
"I think everyone needs to explore what you truly believe, whichever way that is, I think that's an important thing for anyone to do," said Gwen Ruebush.
Elaine Emmi with the Salt Lake Interfaith Roundtable, a group focused on religious inclusivity, also promotes self-exploration of one's beliefs.
"I love any conversation that has to do with faith or non-faith. I think it's excellent when people are able to explore what they believe," Emmi said.
The billboard was placed with CBS Outdoor after it was rejected by two other companies, YESCO and Reagan Outdoor.
"In rare instances, we reject advertisements that we find to be misleading, deceptive or offensive to the moral standards of the community," said a statement by a YESCO representative after FOX 13 News inquired about the rejection in October.
LDS Church representatives declined to comment on the billboard Friday.
The American Atheist convention will be held in Salt Lake City April 17-20, 2014.


Hawke's Bay Regional Council's Environment and Services Committee today received a report on the proposed national release of the next strain of rabbit calicivirus (RHDV1 K5).
This strain of virus is currently going through an importation process in New Zealand with the possibility of release April - May 2017. This variant is a Korean strain better adapted to overcome the protective effects of the existing immunity to calicivirus.
Rabbits are a declared pest in Hawke's Bay Regional Pest Management Plan. The control work is the responsibility of the landowner and HBRC meets 50% of the cost of rabbit control.
Following the illegal, unplanned release in 1998 of rabbit calicivirus disease (RHDV1), rabbits are now, in many cases, immune to this strain and populations are again flourishing in some areas. The average immunity in Hawke's Bay rabbits is 55-75%.
The New Zealand Rabbit Coordination Group (RCG) and Landcare Research are seeking approval from Ministry for Primary Industries and the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) to introduce the RHDV1 K5 into New Zealand.
A national controlled release is preferable to ensure that a higher quality, commercially prepared product is used. The managed release also can be monitored and ensure maximise benefits to farmers and the environment.
If national approvals are given, HBRC proposes a coordinated release of the new virus into Hawke's Bay in May 2017. HBRC Biosecurity staff are preparing an operational plan. They are considering 30 sites where historically rabbit numbers are high and there can be an effective release.
In terms of pet rabbits, HBRC Biosecurity staff confirm that the existing vaccination to protect pet rabbits against calicivirus will work for this strain. They are advising vets, pet shops and rabbit breeders of the need to maintain vaccinations.

'Gael's Vision 40th Anniversary Edition', comprising studio album, full length live DVD and 16pp insert, is now due for release on 29th September. The fully re-worked and enhanced 40th anniversary Edition sees the original 1977 studio album 'Gaodhal's Vision' (different spelling, same pronunciation) remixed from the original 2″ master tapes. There are extra passages from the original recording sessions, including previously unheard guitar solos by Rory Gallagher. Members of Shkayla and others contribute additional instruments as well. The whole piece has been remastered too, giving it a sound much more in tune with today's technology and taste.
Following discussions in the industry we are pleased to announce a lower price point for the package of just £15.00. We hope this will make it attractive to a wider audience.
Even better, we are still offering a pre-order discount of 10% off the list price, for a limited period. Check details here.
The album officially launches at the prestigious Cork Folk Festival on October 1st, at Cypress Avenue. The day before, Joe will be giving a talk about his times with Rory Gallagher, at the Rory Gallagher Music Library (at 3.30pm if you are in town – all welcome).
For fans and the curious closer to home we are pleased to invite you to Leamington's Zephyr Lounge on September 24th. Here you can enjoy an 'in yer face' rendition of the album by the band untrammelled by additional musicians or dancers. It's a great opportunity to 'try before you buy' the album of course!


Running the Encampment is fun and personally rewarding to us, but it is also a HUGE undertaking for both committee members and staff. We want to make the event even more fun for your group, but to do that we badly need your help. We need you to give service to the Encampment, just as you would when you camp at home. An hour or two of your time would help us smooth out the problem areas and make everyone's stay more fun.
Please tell us what you can handle, so that we can plan our schedules in advance.
Would you like to come, but can't come with a unit this year? We welcome experienced adults who can come for the weekend or even just for Friday night or Saturday.
Water Wagon, Waterways, and Homestead property. Bring your camp chair, relax, and swap Scouting stories while chaperoning water facilities and Homestead waterways and property.
Concession Stands We need adults to help us in the concession stands on Saturday.
Food Contest. Help us judge. Let the cooks impress you with their entry in the Cooking Contest.
Go-fers. We can run you ragged with all kinds of Go-fer tasks.
Crafts & Games. You can help us with the young camper games or games for older campers.
Races. We always need help keeping the roads clear during the Saturday morning races.
Volleyball. If you have 20-20 hindsight and actually know how the game is played, help us judge the volleyball games. You, too, can know the joy of being accused of being blind, biased, and totally ignorant of the rules of the game. Volunteer a few hours of your time and you can be insulted with the rest of us.
First Aid. Trained first aiders whose units are not competing are welcome to help with judging. Judges must be certified in First Aid by the American Red Cross or National Safety Council or Basic Life Support or an Emergency Medical Technician.
Campsite Inspection. We need people to wander through the campsites finding fault with nearly everything. At least that's what people tell us we do. We prefer to think we're fairly judging the campsite competition and we can use your experience. This one takes just a few hours.
Would you like to introduce a new event?
Do you have a special talent you would like to show off?
Do you have some fresh ideas that you would like to share?
We "always" need new blood.
Please complete the HELP SECTION of the Registration Form.

David E. Folsom (* Mai 1839 in Epping, New Hampshire; † 18. Mai 1918 in Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Forschungsreisender und einflussreicher Politiker Montanas.

Kinder- und Jugendzeit
Geboren im Bundesstaat New Hampshire, besuchte Folsom eine Akademie der Quäker in Vassalboro (Maine). Nebenbei jagte er gerne in den Wäldern. Bald war er ein sicherer Schütze. Nach Abschluss der Quaker Academy ließ er sich an der Moses Brown Quaker School in Providence (Rhode Island) zum Bauingenieur ausbilden. Während dieser Zeit verschlechterte sich seine Gesundheit und er reiste zur Erholung nach Westen.

Leben im Westen
1862 war Folsom zu den Goldminen in Idaho unterwegs, als er hörte, dass in Fort Abercrombie eine Gruppe zusammengestellt wurde, um eine nördliche Route zu den Minen abzustecken. Folsom bewarb sich und erhielt eine Stelle als Treiber für den Wagenzug, der im Sommer mit militärischem Geleit losfuhr. Folsom bot an, für die 130 Teilnehmer zu jagen und sie mit Fleisch zu versorgen. In den Rocky Mountains vernahmen sie, dass die Minen inzwischen erschöpft waren. Das Unternehmen war somit zwecklos und wurde abgebrochen. Die meisten Männer, unter ihnen auch Folsom, zogen nach Bannack. Folsom verbrachte dort den folgenden Winter. Anschließend reiste er nach Virginia City. Dort geriet er an den Banditen George Ives. Ives versuchte ihn in einen unfairen Kampf zu verwickeln, Folsom brachte ihn mit einer Billardkugel zu Fall. Freunde von Folsom schleusten ihn rasch aus der Stadt, bevor sich Ives rächen konnte.

Folsom nahm eine Stelle auf einer Ranch bei Willow Creek im Madison County (Montana) an, bevor er sich auf einem Stück Land in der Nähe niederließ. Die ersten Rancher in Montana mussten immer wieder gegen Grizzlybären ankämpfen. Nach vier Jahren gab Folsom seine Ranch entnervt auf. Er arbeitete in der Folge als Inspektor. Inzwischen hatte sich sein ehemaliger Studienfreund Charley Cook ebenfalls im Westen niedergelassen. Gemeinsam arbeiteten sie im Winter 1868/69 für die Boulder Ditch Company, ein Unternehmen, das hydraulische Minen mit Wasser versorgte. Diese Tätigkeit brachte die beiden in die Yellowstone-Gegend, gemeinsam mit einem dritten Mitarbeiter, William Peterson. Alle drei meldeten sich für eine Expedition in das Gebiet des heutigen Yellowstone-Nationalparks. Nachdem der Initiator der Expedition, Gouverneur Thomas Francis Meagher, unerwartet verstarb und die US-Armee keine Geleittruppe abkommandieren wollte, entschlossen sich die drei, die Expedition alleine durchzuziehen. Sie wurde als Folsom-Expedition bekannt und stellte die erste geplante Expedition in das heutige Park-Gebiet dar.

Nach der Expedition arbeitete Folsom im Büro des Generalinspektors des Montana-Territoriums in Helena. Dort tauschte er sich mit Generalinspektor Henry Dana Washburn über seine Erfahrungen im Yellowstone-Gebiet aus. Dieser war vom Gehörten so beeindruckt, dass er für das folgende Jahr eine zweite Expedition zusammenstellte, die Washburn-Langford-Doane-Expedition. Folsom arbeitete als Landvermesser bis 1875.

Anschließend kehrte er in den Osten nach New Hampshire zurück und blieb dort bis zu seiner Heirat mit Lucy Jones im Jahre 1880. Das Paar reiste nach Montana und baute eine große Schaf-Ranch am Smith River auf, in der Nähe von Cooks Anwesen. Folsom nahm eine bedeutende Stellung im öffentlichen Leben Montanas ein. Zwischen 1885 und 1890 diente er als Schatzmeister des Meagher Countys. Er ließ sich als Republikaner in den Senat des Bundesstaates wählen. 1900 kandidierte er als Gouverneur von Montana, scheiterte jedoch am Demokraten Joseph Toole. Er starb 1918 in Kalifornien.

I have read and also have practiced using copper nails to actualy kill a tree or shrub- so you might want to consider that.
I personally dont think its cheating, There is just as much skill, if not more needed than doing the good old tree chop (reducing a 2 metre tree to a 20cm stump). From what I've seen, if its done really well its very hard to tell. Be interested to see how this one progresses.

Accra High Level Forum – Accountability before aspiration?
Blog post by Desmond Whyms (HLSP) and Kent Buse (ODI)
Recent years have seen a major increase in aid for health programmes, matched by an almost bewildering proliferation in funding streams, partnerships and initiatives. According to a report from the OECD, there are now between 80 and 100 global health initiatives, and development assistance for health has more than doubled from just over $6 billion in 1999 to $13.4 billion in 2005. The bulk of this increase is credited to new global stakeholders including Global Health Partnerships (GHPs) such as the GAVI Alliance and the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM), the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and private foundations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. These global and philanthropic programmes now account for around 20% to 25% of development assistance for health. This proliferation is ringing alarm bells in terms of the challenges for partner country leadership and transaction costs. It has, in turn, spawned new commitments and initiatives intended to rationalise and harmonise the aid landscape, with little apparent result to date.
So it was welcome news that the concept of "Health as a tracer sector" would be on the table at the Accra High Level Forum (HLF) in September 2008, as called for by participants at a meeting on Aid Effectiveness in Health at the OECD in December 2006.
But when we look at the agenda for the Accra HLF, why has health been relegated to one of three topics to be addressed in one of the nine round tables?
The HLF no longer appears to have a "tracer sector" focus on health. What is going on here? What was the process whereby health was effectively relegated to the margins? And why has this happened?
We are sure we can expect an update on the International Health Partnership (IHP) process, which will be one-year old by the time of the HLF, and possibly an update on the workings of the related 'H8'.
But is that all we will see? Will we see the results of the UNAIDS Country Harmonisation and Alignment Tool (CHAT) – one of the first such tools to help gauge the degree of harmonisation and alignment of partners engaged in national AIDS responses?
More than five years have elapsed since the Rome Declaration, and much of what the IHP promises should have been delivered in the months thereafter. Since then we have seen energy invested in the Three Ones in AIDS in 2004, the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and the related Global Task Team (GTT) on AIDS in 2005. Still we are making new promises, without delivering on our old ones. A cynic might be tempted to comment that these new promises represent little more than an attempt to deflect attention from the poor progress that has been made.
The Accra forum should be the primary forum for accountability and reporting on progress – progress on the previous commitments to harmonise and align rather than a showcase for yet more promises.
Given the urgency of the task - delivering the MDGs by 2015 - and the overwhelmingly crowded and complex landscape we have created, should we not be hoping for some far more radical and profound action to bring order to the world of health aid? For example, this forum would provide the ideal platform for discussing how to maximise the opportunity for harmonisation, alignment and potential impact offered by the Global Fund.
So far the Fund has been hugely successful in bringing extra resources to bear, and ensuring the voice of civil society is being heard at country level in how these resources should be deployed. But, to make the most of the opportunity the Fund represents, shouldn't it be replacing the other fragmented strands of financial support to partner countries' health services, instead of creating yet more channels? Shouldn't the Fund be aligning behind robust national strategies and systems for delivering health, and challenging these to be more robust and credible, rather than finding parallel work-arounds – such as Country Coordinating Mechanisms, Local Fund Agents or Fund-dedicated M&E indicators and reporting mechanisms?
Also, shouldn't the Fund begin to cast its net wider than just the three diseases: AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, and become a Global Fund for Health, so that it can more effectively deliver resources for the health system as a whole (including civil society)? It could maintain a disease focus, expanded to cover all the health MDGs and perhaps even other cost-effective interventions for other major burdens of ill health. The goals would be to raise money and monitor results, which is where the real added-value of a vertical focussed partnership can be seen, while reducing earmarking and external fund management.
If the HLF is not going to address these macro questions, or indeed delve into the reasons for limited delivery against past commitments, as outlined in the independent assessment of the GTT, the CHAT review, or the work of Wilkinson et al or Stillman & Bennett, and shed a critical light onto the messy world of aid for health, we will continue to tinker at the edges.
Not only does the present HLF Agenda present a real risk to the sustained interest and support that the public and G8 leaders have invested in global health and international cooperation, but also to the prospects of improving the performance of health systems that are required to deliver the MDGs.
What is needed in Accra is threefold. First, a binding commitment from partners to adhere to Paris Declaration and Three Ones principles; second, a transparent forum for accountability against the various related promises and commitments; and third, agreement on more radical approaches to get the best out of existing resources and institutions.
Should such an agreement include a radical new push for an expanded and reformed Global Health Fund? Would this not be a more effective way to channel resources to sustainable health services, responding to the health needs defined by the poorest countries? These are certainly the questions that should be high on the agenda at Accra.


Hanna Andersson is having a big summer clearance sale, with reductions up to 60%. I absolutely love these little orange and purple stripe pieces; the baby knit pillowcase set (up to 3.5 years) is marked down from $32 to $15. The girls' stripey pillowcase top on the right (sizes 10 months to 12 years) and the striped free time shorts have been marked down to $14 and $12, respectively. I saw these last week in a Hanna Andersson store and promise that the colors are even better in person. And the knit is as substantial, soft and long-wearing as you could ever ask for.
Above you will find the perfect baby boy one-piece "swimmy" rash guard swimsuit. One of my small people had a version of this a few years ago and it was fabulous. This is just $14 instead of $30 right now.
$8 hats!!! We own and love both of the styles above and find that they do a great job shading necks and faces from aggressive sunlight. Find the floppy sun hat (with ties) here and the reversible bucket hat here. They all are really just $8.
Lastly, these great little "spot on" shorts in jersey knit. They remind me of being a kid in the 70's and 80's (in the best sort of way). Currently marked down from $26 to $12. Hooray for reasonably-priced Hannas!

Live Review: Stick Men at Jammin' Java (Vienna, VA) – April 27, 2012
Posted in Concert, Progressive Rock, Review, tagged Jammin' Java, King Crimson, Markus Reuter, Pat Mastelotto, Robert Fripp, Stick Men, Tony Levin on April 29, 2012| 7 Comments »
Slowglide
Open Pt. 3
Larks' Tongues in Aspic Pt. II
Firebird Suite Pt. 1-4
Jammin' Java, the quaint coffee house/bar doubling up as music venue located in the charming neighbourhood of Vienna, in the Washington DC metro area, seems to have become a firm favourite with Tony Levin and his Stick Men bandmates, Pat Mastelotto and Markus Reuter – even though the Boston-born bass/Chapman stick wizard must be used to much larger, flashier venues. Judging by his happy demeanour, Levin seems to have a soft spot for the place (as does his friend and former King Crimson partner, Adrian Belew) – even when, as in this case, the gig involves some considerable juggling. Indeed, the April 27 date (following the triumphant, sold-out appearance by Two of a Perfect Trio in September 2011) had been rather oddly sandwiched between a date in Connecticut and one in upstate New York – forcing the band to cut their show rather shorter than usual to allow them to hit the road in good time.
The screen at the back of the stage proudly displayed the banner of the DC Society of Art Rock (DC-SOAR), a group that for the past few years has been quite active in promoting progressive music in the Washington/Baltimore area . Unfortunately, attendance was not what such a relatively high-profile outfit would usually command, and the long, dimly lit space before the stage was nowhere as crowded as it might have been in different circumstances. Indeed, having a concert start at 7.30 on a Friday night in a high-traffic area is quite likely to keep away quite a few prospective attendees. Though all of the 25 VIP tickets had been sold, they were not really worth the extra $15, as the only advantage they gave was to be able to get inside early and listen to the soundcheck while partaking of food or drink in the Lobby Bar. The VIP seating area was also quite cramped, while the tables and seats that had been arranged in the general admission area were much more comfortable, and allowed a great view of the stage. Luckily, as I observed in my review of the Two of a Perfect Trio gig, the ear-shattering volume that had characterized my first two visits to the venue in 2009 has been toned down, so that people will not find themselves stunned by the sheer impact of an almost physical wall of sound.
For those who are still pining about the demise of King Crimson (at least in terms of live performances), bands like Stick Men are a godsend, as they retain all the energy and complexity of the original, coupled with a much more open, friendly attitude towards their audience. Although I have never seen Mr Fripp in action, I am well aware of his inflexible stance about taking pictures during concerts – which was replicated by Eddie Jobson's Ultimate Zero Project at NEARfest 2010 (much to the dismay of the audience). Seeing Levin, Mastelotto and Reuter smile and wave at the fans, take pictures of the audience at the end of the concert, take some time to chat with the fans, and generally enjoy themselves on stage – all the while retaining a thoroughly professional attitude – was incredibly refreshing, and a boon to everyone who had bought a ticket in spite of the inconvenient scheduling of the gig.
In spite of the time constraints, Stick Men produced a richly satisfying setlist, expanded from their September performance, and including enough King Crimson material to please the more nostalgic component of the crowd. However, their own compositions definitely stand up to comparisons with the "mother band", following in its footsteps while avoiding the clone-like feel that occasionally mars the output of celebrated acts' side projects. While highly proficient in the technical department, Stick Men's music is powerful, muscular and strikingly modern – the endless range of expressive possibilities offered by two polyphonic instruments such as the Chapman stick and Reuter's custom-made touch guitar (a glossy red number deceptively looking like a traditional guitar) supported by Mastelotto's rhythmic powerhouse.
In spite of their extensive touring schedule, Stich Men are busy working on their new album, which is slated for a fall release. In the meantime, they have been writing other material: Levin jokingly stated that they had written an album last Friday, and the audience was treated to one of those new pieces, titled "Open Pt. 3". All the original compositions were very strong, ranging from the evenly paced, atmospheric "Slowglide" (featuring Levin on vocals, and an entrancing, effects-laden middle section) to the aptly titled "Relentless", a hard-hitting piece reminiscent of King Crimson's late '90s incarnation.
As could be expected, however, it was the King Crimson stuff that drew the most applause. Classics like "Red" and "Larks' Tongues in Aspic Pt II" were rendered in a heavier, though perhaps less subtle fashion, proving once again the essential role played by King Crimson in the development of progressive metal. Reuter filled Fripp's role with aplomb, and Levin's Chapman stick was all over the place, aided and abetted by Mastelotto's unflagging beat. A particularly intense version of "Indiscipline", with a slo-mo, drawn-out introduction and Levin doing a decent Belew impersonation, was one of the undisputed highlights of the show, together with the stunning "Firebird Suite (Pt. 1-4)". Mastelotto's imperious drumming paralleled Stravinsky's trademark percussive firepower, while Levin and Reuter seamlessly worked their way through the intricate orchestral arrangements, debunking the myth that banks of keyboards are indispensable to any reinterpretation of great classical music.
In a few months, those who missed out on Friday's gig will be able to see Stick Men perform again with Adrian Belew's Power Trio (under the handle of Crimson ProjecKct), when they open for Dream Theater on their Washington DC date (July 13, Warner Theatre). Levin's former partnership with John Petrucci, Mike Portnoy and Jordan Rudess in Liquid Tension Experiment should be enough to explain this apparently odd pairing. It is to be hoped that this slot on a much longer and higher-profile tour will create more interest in Stick Men's own original material, which deserves all the exposure it can get.
