Basketball tournament combines fellowship, competition
April 2, 2008 Paul A Barra | The Catholic Miscellany 2009
GREENVILLE — The 39th annual diocesan Youth Basketball Tournament involved a full year of planning, 48 teams, 65 games and 10 separate venues, yet the main event included no roundball play at all.
"Father (Jay Scott) Newman said Mass on Saturday evening for about 800 people in Timmons Arena (on the Furman University campus), which was followed by a pizza party and dance," said Chris Caver, athletic director of St. Mary school and church, which hosted the tournament. "That was the focal point for this long weekend: Mass and fellowship."
Hundreds of young athletes and their fans also worked in some heavy-duty competition on the hardwood before and after the Mass celebration.
In order to allow families to arrive at their homes in the Midlands and Lowcountry at a reasonable hour on a day before school, championship play began at 8 a.m. on Sunday and ended before 3 p.m. By then, the field had been pared down to four runner-up games and four championship games.
The consolation finals took place at Prince of Peace gymnasium and featured Junior boys (13 and under) from Blessed Sacrament in West Ashley and St. Mary Help of Christians in Aiken; and Junior girls from St. Andrew in Myrtle Beach and St. Mary of Aiken. Also, in the Senior division (14 and up), boys from Stella Maris on Sullivan's Island and St. Mary of Aiken; and girls from Prince of Peace and Our Lady of the Rosary parishes vied for the consolation prize.
Referee Benny McGregor, a veteran official in the S.C. High School League who worked eight of the tournament games, said the level of competition in the final rounds was good. "They play as well as small public high school teams," he said.
In the Senior girls' championship game, that level of play included what Coach Polly Graham of Christ Our King Church in Mount Pleasant called "a dogfight."
"Our M.O. is the transition game; if we're going to win we're going to win on hustle," Graham said.
Hustle worked. Graham's Crusaders played St. Mary of Greenville, who dominated inside and led at the half, 12-8. But Christ Our King ball hawked and came back to win 30-21.
Graham thought the tournament was well organized and worth the time and expense of the journey from the Charleston area.
"The kids and their families made a big sacrifice for this, but they feel as if they are part of a larger Catholic community when they all get together. It was a great experience for them," the volunteer coach said.
In the Senior boys' championship game, Blessed Sacrament beat the host team from St. Mary 46-35. In the Junior girls' championship, Christ Our King beat St. Mary of Aiken 29-10.
The Junior boys' champion was Our Lady of the Rosary, who beat Christ Our King 57-41.
The tournament rotates every year among the cities of Greenville, Myrtle Beach, Charleston and Aiken. It is sponsored by the Diocese of Charleston "in the name of the youth," according to Caver.

I wasn't prepared for what I saw in a slide show at the bottom of a Huffington Post article about moldy Chobani yogurt. This slide show of about thirty or so images depicts a range of disgusting to horrifying things people have found in consumer goods and fast food.
Some are gross, but not totally beyond human comprehension, but snakes and mice and paper clips baked into bread!? No way. But, yes way, because everything you see on the internet is true, right?
Read the article about Chobani's nasty yogurt (it's gross enough without having a mold problem), and then brace yourself for the slide show called "Mealbreakers". You're welcome.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress."
Mark Twain, opening chapter 8 of Following the Equator, 1897
Also in that chapter, the life of the extinct moa – possibly slightly exaggerated:
The Moa stood thirteen feet high, and could step over an ordinary man's head or kick his hat off; and his head, too, for that matter. He said it was wingless, but a swift runner. The natives used to ride it. It could make forty miles an hour, and keep it up for four hundred miles and come out reasonably fresh. It was still in existence when the railway was introduced into New Zealand; still in existence, and carrying the mails. The railroad began with the same schedule it has now: two expresses a week-time, twenty miles an hour. The company exterminated the moa to get the mails.

My 15 seconds
So there I was, recording today's Quote…Unquote S53E02 off iPlayer after grabbing The Unbelievable Truth S19E02 earlier. One minute in, my eyebrows like to shoot off my head as host Nigel Rees and Charlotte Green open the show with…well, me and a quotation I sent him last year. Pretty cool.
I wrote five years ago of the strange enmity UK comics seem to have for the show. I still hear it derided a few times a year and I still don't understand. This is a 53-series programme panelled by the likes of Douglas Adams, Graham Linehan, Peter Cook, and John Lloyd. Sheesh.
Once every several weeks, I hear some comedian or other on a Radio 4 show or TV panel show slag off "Quote…Unquote", a panel show also on Radio 4. Most make dismissive comments, but some seem to despise the programme with a passion, which puzzles me because I like it. It's not my favourite Radio 4 programme (that'd be "The News Quiz", which itself slags off "Quote…Unquote" approximately every fourth programme), but I always listen to QU and can usually identify about half the quotations before they're through reciting them. There's good humour and good stories in most episodes.
Why do all those comedians hate it so, and with such bizarre frequency? It's a minor show that airs only very infrequently – six episodes a year in recent years – yet I hear more negative mentions of it in any given year than the number of QU episodes that aired that year. Is it simply because they know none of the quotations and are perhaps made to feel small, or did presenter Nigel Rees line up all their dogs in a row and run them over with a steamroller years ago?

I once saw on TV a Congressman on the floor of the House finish a sentence with that phrase. I boggled.
I've used it myself a number of times since.

John McPhee on firewood
Excerpt from "A Reporter at Large: Firewood" in The New Yorker, 25 March 1974. The full essay is in McPhee's collection Pieces of the Frame.
Science was once certain that firewood was full of something called phlogiston, a mysterious inhabitant that emerged after kindling and danced around in the form of light and heat and crackling sound – phlogiston, the substance of fire. Science, toward the end of the eighteenth century, erased that beautiful theory, replacing it with certain still current beliefs, which are related to the evident fact that green wood is half water. Seasoning, it dries down until, typically, the water content is twenty per cent. Most hardwoods – oak, maple, cherry, hickory – will season in six months. Ash, the firewood of kings, will season in half the time. When firewood burns, it makes vapor of the water. The rest of the log is (almost wholly) carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen – the three components of cellulose, also of starch and sugar. When a log is thrown on the fire, the molecules on the surface become agitated and begin to move vigorously. Some vibrate. Some rotate. Some travel swiftly from one place to another. The cellulose molecule is long, complicated, convoluted – thousands of atoms like many balls on a few long strings. The strings have a breaking point. The molecule, tumbling, whipping, vibrating, breaks apart. Hydrogen atoms, stripping away, snap onto oxygen atoms that are passing by in the uprushing stream of air, forming even more water, which goes up the chimney as vapor. Incandescent carbon particles, by the tens of millions, leap free of the log and wave like banners, as flame. Several hundred significantly different chemical reactions are now going on. For example, a carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms, coming out of the breaking cellulose, may lock together and form methane, natural gas. The methane, burning (combining with oxygen), turns into carbon dioxide and water, which also go up the flue. If two carbon atoms happen to come out of the wood with six hydrogen atoms, they are, agglomerately, ethane, which burns to become, also, carbon dioxide and water. Three carbons and eight hydrogens form propane, and propane is there, too, in the fire. Four carbons and ten hydrogens – butane. Five carbons…pentane. Six…hexane. Seven…heptane. Eight carbons and eighteen hydrogens – octane. All these compounds come away in the breaking of the cellulose molecule, and burn, and go up the chimney as carbon dioxide and water. Pentane, hexane, heptane, and octane have a collective name. Logs burning in a fireplace are making and burning gasoline.

To the Editor of The World:
Sir: You ask me for a sentiment which shall state how much I have to be thankful for this time. For years it has been a rule with me not to expose my gratitude in print on Thanksgiving Day, but I wish to break the rule now and pour out my thankfulness; for there is more of it than I can contain without straining myself. I am thankful – thankful beyond words – that I had only $51,000 on deposit in the Knickerbocker Trust, instead of a million; for if I had had a million in that bucket shop, I should be nineteen times as sorry as I am now.
Trusting that this paean of joy will satisfy your requirement, I am

S2000's 9,000rpm redline can give many supercars a complex.
I'm hooked to the idea of owning a used Honda S2000.
Though spoilt for choice with cars sold in India, there aren't many affordable convertibles on sale here unless you buy a Mini or the Audi A3. If you wouldn't mind a used car, then you have a lot more choice, which brings me to what my next car could be. Without a doubt, it has to be an open-top sportscar that is easy to maintain and has oodles of character. I thought of the Mazda Miata first, but I didn't want one with a 1.6L engine and finding a 1.8L is like finding a needle in a haystack. I've been looking at Z3s, SLKs and CLKs. I'd love to own a Porsche again too, but good examples of a 987 or a 981 Boxster would break the bank. After even considering an MR2 Turbo Targa Top, I decided on something with a naturally aspirated engine. But just as I was running out of options, I saw a photo of a shiny Honda S2000 on Instagram and I've been hooked on to the idea of owning one ever since.
The S2000 is one of my all-time favourite cars. I was lucky to drive one in 2004. The fabled 9,000rpm redline engine, the highest for any production vehicle back in 1999 when the S2000 was introduced, is something every petrolhead must experience at least once. After all, the S2000 was Honda's self-given 50th birthday present and testimony of Honda's engine prowess and VTEC technology.
They say the engine is considered to be the heart of any sportscar and this is where the S2000 gives its owner serious bragging rights and supercar owners a complex. The 2,000cc four-cylinder pumps out a mighty impressive 120hp per litre, which is still amongst the highest ever for a stock naturally aspirated engine.
The sharp Japanese lines and the shark-like nose styling really work for me. I particularly like front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sportscars like the S2000. Best of all, the S2000s came only with six-speed manual transmission! Even the sweet-handling chassis was designed by engineers who worked on Honda's original, legendary NSX.
Of course, the S2000 isn't going to be stress-free – there were a couple of known gremlins on earlier models which if attended in time with the right updates ensure that the car runs trouble free. Nonetheless, even though it is a high performance car, from all the research I've done, I believe it is largely as reliable as a Honda can be. Honda kept ironing out the niggles over the years, but I wouldn't shy from buying an earlier model for its innate character.
Truth be told, I'd stick to buying the F20 series-engined 2L cars, and not the F22 2.2Ls that were sold later, for its legendary 9,000rpm engine redline and horsepower per litre. Finding a good S2000 is going to be a challenge as, unfortunately, only a few of these were ever imported, probably because of import bans and homologation rules. So, if you are reading this and know someone with an S2000, or have one for sale, please get in touch with me. You'd be finding a thoroughbred future classic a good home and tonnes of TLC!

As Sherullah al-Moazzam enters its second half we come under the benevolence and succour of the layaali faazila; 17th, 19th, 21st and of course, Laylat al-Qadr on the eve of the 23rd.
These nights are of great significance with manifold divine reward for the those offer ´ibaadat during them. This significance and divine reward peak with the Quran's promise of a night greater than a thousand months – one night alone that is superior to a lifetime spent in worship.
For us the idea of spending an entire night or even a part of a night in ´ibaadat is not an innate one. Yet, as we come upon these nights it is worth reflecting that were it not for the Duat Mutlaqeen then it would have been extremely unlikely that we would have even an inkling of how to go about worshipping in them.
It was the 2nd Dai Mutlaq, al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Ibrahim RA, whose qabr mubarak is in Ghayl Bani Hamid, Yemen, who initiated the washeq namaaz, a manifest aspect of these layaali fazila. Washeq can be defined as 'something in addition' and as we know it is a namaaz in addition to the night's usual namaaz. Unlike other types of namaaz that are practised this namaaz remains within the sunnat and tatawwa´ category which are prayed individually and not behind an imam.
It is a remarkable form of namaaz, and its length and manner ensure that one has carried out at least some further ´ibaadat during these nights. The number of rakaat stipulated refer to levels of the celestial and earthly huduud (ranks). In praying this namaaz one fulfils the basic requirement of extended worship and it becomes an offering through which we can then seek forgiveness for our sins and beseech the Almightly for the fulfilment of all our spiritual and temporal needs. Maulana Ali AS stated, "Seek the fulfilment of your needs on the eves of the 17th of Shehre Ramadan and on the eves of the 19th, the 21st and the 23rd".
The 17th of Shehre Ramadan is also historically important as it was on this day that the Battle of Badr, the first victory of the Muslims over the tribes of Makkah, was fought. The 19th is the eve of the morning in which Maulana Ali AS was martyred in the mihrab of the masjid in Kufa. Lastly, the 21st is known as the 'lesser Laylat al- Qadr'.
Laylat al-Qadr is sometimes literally translated as the Night of Power, although this translation would seem to distract from the true significance of the night. Opinions differ widely as to the actual night of Laylat al-Qadr for which Rasulallah SA gave a cryptic reply saying, "Look for me when the tip of my nose is in mud" indicating that Layalat al-Qadr that year would be a night of rain when the masjid floor would be as he described. In this way, then, the night is much like Maulatona Fatema AS who willed Maulana Ali AS to bury her at night so that those who had caused her pain would be denied of participating in her burial. He then made many burial mounds so that her actual grave could not be identified by them later.
Although all these nights are sacred, attendance during Laylat al-Qadr is an absolute minimum requirement along with the day of Aashura for to consider himself a mumin, and thereby calling in to question his salvation and life in the Hereafter.
As these days and nights of Sherullah fly by, may we be able to derive the maximum benefit from them through recitation of the Holy Quran, ´ibaadat and acts of goodness and charity. May we find the determination to raise ourselves beyond our normal, routine deeds and actions and go beyond the extra that we may have done in Shehre Ramadan during preceding years. May we all pray for our Maula, Syedna Aali Qadr Mufaddal Saifuddin – whose birth took place in the very night of Laylat al-Qadr; to be blessed with a long and healthy life until the Day of Qiyaamat.


John Bernard "Nigerian gospel music minister who is also a violinist release a new single titled Alpha & Omega featuring Royal Music House.
Alpha and Omega (project) was inspired by the Holy Spirit. The song reminds us of the truth that God is everything and that all we have is from Him alone and therefore we should use it to bless His Holy Name.

BOY DUDE - Cassette For You (Digital)
DIGITAL FORMATS
Multi-instrumentalist and Music Producer Jordan Chini armed with an array of guitars, basses, drum machines, and vintage synths has fused the spirit of lo-fi songwriting and psychedelia with the aesthetics of experimental funk and soul under his brand-new guise "BOY DUDE". Sculpted using peculiar studio techniques, "Cassette For You" garnished its title, and was ultimately mixed and rendered through a Tascam Portastudio 4 track recorder, granting the album a warm and classic tape compression vibe. As a result, there is a distinct mood and atmosphere to his music, which traverses seamlessly through many eras and styles of music, without any specific destination in mind.
The LP was initially influenced by Jordan digging out some of his Fathers' (Robert Chini – former Songwriter for Motown Records) recordings from the late 70's, which inspired Chini to begin writing and experimenting in a similar vein. The result was a stunning marriage of vintage moods with modern songwriting sonics, which transformed into the "BOY DUDE" project. Additionally, this LP is a result of Chini reaching a turning point in his own musical development: experimenting with blending his songwriting background with his "funky" side and his increasing love and understanding of vintage synthesizers. Each tune on the LP delves deep into the world of BOY DUDE, which can be fuzzy, emotional, trippy, dreamy, and well, let's leave the rest up for you to decide…

Florida Health Justice Project Celebrates the Approval of Florida's 12 Months of Postpartum Medicaid Coverage by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
A Critical Win for Florida's Moms and Babies
Alison Yager, J.D.
Florida Health Justice Project
Executive Director;
yager@floridahealthjustice.org;
(Miami, Florida)—May 25, 2022 – Today, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced their approval of Florida's extension of postpartum coverage, to allow for a full twelve months of coverage, up from 60 days, for those covered by Medicaid and CHIP for their pregnancies.
Florida Health Justice Project's Executive Director Alison Yager participated in CMS's announcement of the approval, alongside CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, as well as administrators from California, Oregon, and Kentucky, whose coverage extensions were also approved.
"As CMS Administrator—and also as a mother—I applaud California, Florida, Kentucky, and Oregon for joining a cadre of states in giving families one of the greatest gifts we can: The peace of mind of health coverage, particularly in the critical post-partum period," said CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure.
Florida Health Justice Project, a non-profit advocacy organization, led the statewide coalition seeking to extend Medicaid postpartum coverage, with the goals of improving healthcare access and addressing long-standing disparities in outcomes.
"The coverage extension announced today is one of the best tools for improving maternal and infant health, and decreasing disparities in outcomes;" noted Yager. "Providing continuous care for a full twelve months postpartum will annually help over 50,000 women covered by Medicaid and CHIP to access primary care, care for chronic conditions, as well as mental health services during the critical postpartum period. It will also improve access to needed family planning services."
Florida ranks 49th in the nation for women's access to health care. The March of Dimes gave Florida a D+ in its 2020 Report Card for maternal and infant health indicators.
By extending Medicaid, new mothers will have access to affordable health care to treat chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, substance use disorders and depression.
Florida Health Justice Project eagerly awaits the implementation of this newly approved policy, and is developing tools to educate the public about this change. Said Yager, "It is our goal that this extension is well known, well understood, and well utilized."
Florida Health Justice Project (FHJP) recognizes that access to quality and affordable health care is a human right and engages in comprehensive advocacy to expand healthcare access and promote health equity for Florida's most vulnerable and marginalized residents. www.floridahealthjustice.org

Gateway to Japan ~ Narita
Many years ago I lived in Narita City, famous for its centuries-old Naritasan Shinshoji Temple and narrow streets that are lined with traditional shops and restaurants in the style of Japan's Edo Period. Unfortunately most tourists arrive into Japan at Narita International Airport and transfer straight to Tokyo without even a sideways glance at Narita. However, schools on a budget need go no further than simply combining a visit to both traditional Narita and modern Tokyo. Naritasan Temple can be visited in an afternoon with buses and trains departing from Narita Airport. Better still, stay a few days in Narita and visit the many sights of Narita and the nearby towns. So, let me tell you about 'My Narita'............
OMOTESANDO DORI
Narita International Airport has two train lines, JR Line and Keisei Line, with both stopping at Narita City - take care, however, as some of the express trains do not stop at Narita Station. Both train stations are close to the entrance of Omotesando Dori (表参道), with a large McDonalds Restaurant on the opposite corner of the street entrance. There are also airport buses to Narita plus most Narita Airport hotels offer regular, complimentary shuttle buses from their hotel to the Narita Station area.
Omotesando Dori is a wonderful, shop-filled, long and winding road that runs from the Narita Station area to Naritasan Temple. Omotesando is a common Japanese word for a path that leads to a temple or shrine and therefore the street leading to Naritasan is appropriately named. This Edo-period street is a walk back in time with a variety of traditional shops and restaurants. The most popular of these include unagi restaurants (grilled freshwater eel), yōkan (jellied Japanese dessert made of red bean paste), senbei rice crackers, sake and various pickled vegetables. Of course there is also a variety of traditional souvenir shops selling items such as fans, chopsticks, woven goods, happy coats and cotton yukata.
NARITA TOURIST PAVILION
Narita Tourist Pavilion (Narita Kankokan ~ 成田観光館) is approximately a 10-minute walk from the station area, situated on the left side of Omotosando Dori. The tourist information section is on the 1st floor with information available on the many tourist spots in Narita City and surrounding towns. The 2nd floor showcases a few of the magnificent floats used during the 300-year old Narita Gion Festival, celebrated each year in July. There is also an exhibition room on the 3rd floor displaying various traditional and historical exhibits.
A tea ceremony is held at the Tourist Pavilion each Thursday and tourist can experience this free of charge. Tel: 0476-24-3232
NARITA SHINSHŌJI TEMPLE
Located at the end of Omotesando Dori, Narita Shinshōji Temple is a Shingon Buddhist temple, known by locals as Naritasan. The temple deity is the Fire God, Fudo Myo-o, and the temple serves as a major centre of the Fudo religion. At New Year, from January 1st to January 3rd, approximately 3 million people visit the temple for the first New Year worship (Hatsumōde ~ 初詣). During the Setsubun Festival in February the temple is famous for sumo wrestlers and popular actors to appear and toss setusbun beans to the worshippers who come to the temple to pray and celebrate setsubun.
Naritasan was first established in the year 900. For over 600 years it was a humble temple until Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu moved Japan's capital to Edo (Tokyo) in 1603. The temple grew and buildings were gradually added. The first hall was built in 1701, the three-storied pagoda in 1712, the main gate in 1830 and more halls and pagodas followed over the years. Naritasan's buildings are now designated National Important Culture Buildings.
Naritasan Park was opened in 1928. The park is a sprawling woodland with winding paths, statues, a pagoda, a large ornamental lake, fountains and many other water features. The park holds a special place for me as this was my son's favourite 'playground'. On weekends we would ride our bicycles to the temple, bring dried rice to feed the pigeons and explore the park and temple buildings.
A daily tradition held since Narita-san Shinshoji Temple was founded is the Goma Fire ritual. Prayers are offered to call upon the temple's main deity, the God of Fire, to grant worshipper's wishes and protect them from bad luck. This ritual is held several times per day, lasts 20–30 minutes, and is free. Reservations are not required. The priests are dressed in colourful robes and can be photographed as they parade through the temple grounds and enter the main hall. Photography is not permitted during the ceremony in the Main Hall.
If required we can organise voluntary tour guides for our school groups.
NARITA MUSEUM OF AERONAUTICAL SCIENCES
Situated next to Narita Airport is the Museum of Aeronautical Sciences (Koku Kagaku Hakubutsukan 航空科学博物館). The museum offers a fun, hands-on experience providing a huge range of aircraft related experiences and airline realia.
There are exhibits both inside and outside. On the lawn in front of the museum are 15 small planes and helicopters where it is possible to climb aboard and enter the inside of many of these. Inside the exhibition halls are full size flight simulators, a library, an exhibition of uniforms, flight games and miniature models.
There is indoor observation deck on the fifth floor where you can watch the planes arriving and departing at Narita Airport in relative comfort. Another observation deck is outside, on the third floor, offering the full experience of powered flight, with planes roaring overhead just a few hundred metres away.

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF JAPANESE HISTORY
The National Museum of Japanese History is commonly known in Japan as the Rekihaku (国立歴史民俗博物館), Another favourite of mine that I visited regularly with my children and then years later with Australian school groups. The museum is a modern museum divided into a number of levels and six galleries. Many of the exhibits have English explanations and hands on activities. The museum is situated in the grounds of the Sakura Castle Ruins Park. Only the footings of the castle remain however the grounds are vast and students can eat a picnic lunch in the grounds before or after visiting the museum. There is an authentic teahouse on the grounds where we can organise group participation in a tea ceremony.
Gallery One covers ancient times from when humans first appeared on the Japanese archipelago to the Jomon Period and on to the tenth century, when rice cultivation and aspects of medieval Japan were first seen.
Gallery Two explores Japanese culture and daily life between the late 8th and 16th centuries, spanning the Heian, Kamakura, Muromachi, and Azuchi-Momoyama periods. It focuses on the graceful aristocratic culture of the Heian court, the everyday lives of military families in the vicinities of Kamakura and Ichijodani and the world of commoners in which occupations of all kinds flourished. The gallery also gives attention to international relations with East Asia and to Japan's first encounter with the West.
Gallery Three showcases history from the late 1500s to mid 1800s. These centuries are known as the Edo Period because they coincide roughly with the rise of the military government of the Tokugawa Shogunate, which moved its headquarters, or bakufu, to Edo (modern-day Tokyo).
Gallery Four has exhibitions held under the theme of "Folk Cultures of the Japanese Archipelago". Exhibitions include food, religion, celebrations, festivals and nature throughout the centuries and throughout Japan from Hokkaido to the Okinawan Islands.
Gallery Five highlights the Meiji Period and Japan's industrial age and modern development. The Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 is featured as well as the immersion of modern entertainment and entertainment districts.
Gallery Six focuses on the period between the 1930s to the 1970s , including the significant changes that occurred in Japan during WW1 and WW2, post-war occupation and Japan's emerging post-war lifestyle.

The network of spacious, multi-use trails is named "Capital City to the Sea Trail" and weaves together segments of the area's more than 600 miles of trails. The corridors allow pedestrians and cyclists – from avid runners to children on tricycles – to explore the natural beauty of the destination in comfort and safety. Within the city, the trail will link to the Tallahassee-St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail, an existing 20-mile-long, rails-to-trails route that runs from the Tallahassee to St. Marks on the Gulf Coast. Over the next few years, the trail network will extend into other neighboring counties, along the abandoned Georgia, Florida & Alabama Railroad corridor, the U.S. 98 coastal highway and Ochlockonee Bay Trail.

Q: django sending email (delivery report) I'm a beginner who is trying to use "Django" to send mail to multiple recipients.
How could I get a delivery report that tells me that: "the mail delivered to recipients a,b,c and d".
"The delivery failed to recipient (e) because his mail box is full".
The delivery failed to recipient (f) because your message considered as spam".

A: The return value of send_mail() is a boolean that tells whether or not the message was successfully sent.
You can write a function that iterates through the list of recipients, calls send_mail(), appends the successful deliveries to one list, and appends the unsuccessful recipients to another. Then you can write messages using that information. Something like this:
    recipients = [ ... ]  # list of people you're sending the email to
    successful_recipients = []
    unsuccessful_recipients = []
    for recipient in recipients:
        if send_mail( ... ):
            successful_recipients.append(recipient)
        else:
            unsuccessful_recipients.append(recipient)

It may be difficult/impossible to get the cause of failure, because Django isn't providing you with that information.

I received a review copy from the publisher Gollancz. This does not affect my opinion in any way.
Karigan G'ladheon, running away from school, is traveling through a deep forest when a galloping horse pounds up to her, its rider impaled by two black-shafted arrows. With his dying breath, he tells her he is a Green Rider, one of the magical messengers of the King. Before he dies, he makes Karigan swear to deliver the message he's carrying, and gives her his green coat, with the symbolic brooch of his office. Pursued by unknown assassins, following a path only her horse seems to know, Karigan becomes a legendary Green Rider for when given to the right person, a Rider's brooch awakens the magic inside.
I liked some things and disliked others. The story itself is interesting enough but I found it to be quite formulaic. It had all of the elements I usually like but felt like it didn't quite rise above average. I liked that there was magic in this world and elves and other fantastical creatures . The idea of the Green Riders, messengers for the kingdom with 'gift's was also really cool. I liked the world-building and the political intrigue and I'm really curious to see which side comes out on top.
I didn't really like the main character, Kerrigan that much at first. She seemed like a bit of a spoilt brat with a good heart. She just seemed to fall into situations and then go from there without much thought or planning and somehow manages to get out of all manner of scrapes without much harm. I also couldn't stand how she kept protesting that she wasn't really a Green Rider yet never really made an effort to just leave it all behind and get back to her normal life. By the end she had grown on me with her sense of chivalry and doing things just because they were the right thing to do.
I also liked the whole impending evil feel which is a well used trope in fantasy and gave me Tolkien-esque feels but if done right is still interesting. I hope to see more of this in the sequels and I'm invested enough in the story to want to continue. I feel like this is a series that gets better as it progresses; at least I hope so because these covers are beautiful.
This has a very classical fantasy feel and I like the simplicity of it. If you are looking for something slightly different than the usual YA fantasy fare but without the complexity of an adult epic fantasy, you should definitely give this is a try. Also, if you just need a break from the more complex fantasy worlds, this is just what you need. I will definitely be continuing this series because I'm curious to see if the potential in this novel is going to be realised in the sequels.

Graduate Research 2017-18
The Slade Research Centre in Woburn Square hosts collaborations and events that involve researchers from many different fields, from the Slade and UCL as well as from the wider national and international community. The Slade Research Centre is used by students on all our programmes, including undergraduate, graduate and doctorate.
Graduate Research Weeks are held at the Slade Research Centre in the Autumn and Spring Terms and provide MFA, MA and PhD students across all three areas, Painting, Sculpture and Fine Art Media, with a forum to explore an aspect of their work under a particular research theme, which can be imaginatively developed in the unique studio environment of the Centre. The research themes stem from physical sensory outlooks that can inform the processes and experiences of making of art, and hence underpin the development of artistic research.
Graduate Research Weeks aim to cultivate the thinking and making which will allow students to engage critically and imaginatively with other disciplines. In light of exploring the programme's research themes, related questions and ideas emerge, shift and change. Context and materials change too, and through this dynamic, artists can bring new questions and answers to the fore, interrogating familiar issues in fresh and different ways, and fostering innovative research.
The research themes for the academic year 2017/18 are:
This e-book represents a selection of the work of MFA, MA and PhD students who participated in one or more of this year's Graduate Research Weeks during the 2017/18 academic year. It demonstrates a range of experimentation, collaboration and discussion, and reflects the spirit of ambition and enthusiasm that has energised the programme. We would like to thank everyone involved, the students and staff within the Slade and UCL, as well as the artists and researchers from outside the university who have engaged in our debates and given so generously of their time and expertise to help us achieve our aims.
Thank you to Patrick White for editing and designing this year 's Graduate Research Weeks e-book.

Suit For Judgment - Marcadis Singer P.A.
When you win a lawsuit, the judgment usually follows. However, getting a judgment is not a guarantee of payment. In essence, it is a ruling by the court that the debtor has to pay. Next, it is time to collect.
When the judge gives you the ruling, the judgment still isn't quite yours. The judgment still has to be issued by the court clerk. This will usually take from 2 to 4 weeks, but with budget cutbacks by the government, it can take as long as 4 to 6 months. When the judgment has been issued, it has to be then recorded at the state level. It also needs to be recorded in the county where the debtor owns property.
In roughly one-third of the collectible lawsuits in which we secure a judgment, the borrower agrees to repay without the need to do court issued judgment collection practices. The amount to be repaid is negotiable and there might even be a payment plan. Since the collection effort for a court-ordered judgment can be a lengthy procedure, includes extra costs and delays when money is collected, the best payment is a voluntary one. What if the debtor still doesn't pay? Once the court has issued a judgment, there are a number of effective ways of collecting.
There are a number of ways to proceed through the courts in an effort to collect a judgment. There are costs involved and they can be time-consuming. We'll take a closer look at each one.
If requested, the court can issue a garnishment or bank levy, but you will have to find out where the bank account is located. The levy should be served at the bank location where the account was opened, not at a different branch location. A sheriff or marshal or other court-appointed authority has to deliver the levy. With this approach, it might be a long time between when the court issued the levy to the time it gets delivered. You will be permitted to get any money available on the day the levy is issued by the authorities. It will not be automatically applied on any days that follow. Therefore, if your timing is right and there is plenty of money in the account the day it is served, you will hit pay dirt. However, if there are limited funds on that day, the process will have to be repeated which could take 3 months or more. Furthermore, if there is a lien of money in the bank account or by the state or federal authority with a tax lien, then the bank won't seize the money for your bank levy.
Voluntary payment is always the preferred method since this process is so time-consuming.
Any person named in the judgment can have their wages garnished if requested. The employer will have to make the garnishments, or reserve part of the employee's income and send this money to the court every month which will then be paid to the judgment creditor. In order to get the garnishment, you need to know where the debtor is employed. The debt collection lawyers have to go to court and ask for the garnishment and once the court approves, the garnishment will be issued to the employer. The amount of the employee's wages that can be garnished is limited by law, based on the idea that the employee needs a big portion of their wages to pay for shelter and food.
Do you know the customers of the judgment debtor? Do you know how and where they get paid for the products or services they provide? The best way to go might be to get the money before it goes to the judgment debtor. Merchant accounts are included and the benefit of doing it this way is that once it is served, it will keep going until the judgment is fulfilled. This is usually a complex and time-consuming procedure and should only be used if the creditor thinks that there will be steady income via these various sources.
Does the judgment debtor have a retail store? If so, the keeper can place a do "till tap" on the store. In essence, this is taking any funds coming in out of the cash register. The keeper has the option to show up in the store and requests cash payment from all customers and the keeper will get to keep the cash. No credit cards or checks. Although this is a costly procedure, the keeper can add the cost to the judgment and might eventually be recovered.
If business is slow or customers won't do cash transactions, a significant amount might not be recoverable, however, it might push the debtor to do "voluntary" payments. Having a keeper in the store is an uncomfortable situation and sends a bad message to employees.
When the judgment is registered in the county where the debtor owns real estate, it is as effective as putting a lien on the property. Should they try to refinance or sell the property, a judgment will pop up when the records are searched. The judgment will have to be dealt with first or the transaction will not be completed. But if there isn't any equity in the property, the creditor probably won't recover any funds. The debt collection lawyer can request from the court that property along with other assets like furniture, fixtures and inventory be sold. This process can be complex and costly with the creditor usually having to advance large sums of money. The expenses are added to the judgment and might be recoverable, however, clients aren't eager to invest the large sums of money required unless the chances of recovery are very high.
The key to doing court-ordered judgment collection efforts is having information on the debtor's assets and income. If we don't have that, then the first step in the process is to conduct a debtor exam. The debtor is to appear in court with their banking information as well as other information regarding their assets and income so we can get the information needed to do levies, garnishments, etc.
The most important part of carrying out court-ordered judgment collection undertakings would be having details of the debtor's possessions and revenue. In cases where we don't have those details, then the starting point in the procedure would be to perform a debtor examination. The debtor has to show up in the courtroom with their banking details along with other specifics about their possessions and earnings so we are able to obtain the info required to do levies, garnishments, etc.
The debt collection lawyer must first of all schedule the examination by the court, which involves processing charges. After that, the debtor must be personally served with notice that the exam, even if they are an official of the debtor company or someone that has personal legal responsibility. In cases where we have no idea exactly where the debtor lives or is employed, then we are not able to serve the debtor. Fees apply for every effort by the process server to serve the person in debt, therefore these expenses can accumulate. If the debtor isn't served within the required period of time, then the examination has to be rescheduled and we need to attempt to serve the later examination court date, once again requiring more fees. When the debtor shows up in court, but did not come with the necessary details, the examination has continued to a future date. This might take place a number of times, for instance, if the debtor fails to show up. Therefore, although the court is on our side, the borrower could make the procedure complicated and extend it out several months or even years.
Arrest Warrants – That's Motivating!
In cases where a debtor routinely fails to show up for debtor examinations, we are able to ask that the judge serve an arrest warrant. Occasionally we just obtain a bench warrant, meaning the local authorities will not set off to make an arrest. Alternatively, if an officer ever questions an individual, for instance, through a traffic stop, the warrant will pop up and they can go to jail. Certain jurisdictions will proactively attempt to place the debtor under arrest. There is not any jail time, however the judge states they have to show up or there might be further repercussions.
With the challenges of the judgment collection procedure, as well as the valuable time it usually takes from the submitting of the lawsuit to receiving payment, careful thought has to be given whenever considering litigation. We thoroughly assess all the details we are able to put together to ascertain the chances of a favorable outcome, not just in being successful in the lawsuit but also in collecting the debt. The money owing has to give good reason for the possible expenditure in out of pocket expenses and retainers. Once we advise that the suit be submitted, we feel there is a 70% or better chance of collecting the debt. In the meantime, we would like our clients to understand the challenges and time delays in cases where we need to proceed with litigation. This could influence their decisions once settlement offers and payment plans are presented both pre and post litigation.
