Former Joseph Proudman Laboratory for sale
The site of the former "Joseph Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory" is for sale. The land – where the Joseph Proudman Building stood for a little while – is being marketed as a "development opportunity".
If you are thinking about making a bid, read this first. It will help with your "due diligence".
The vendor, the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), is only in a position to offer the leasehold. The freehold is retained by Wirral Council, who can veto a transfer of the lease. To do anything with the land, the purchaser will have to re-negotiate the lease or acquire the freehold.
The next few days will be critical for the future of Bidston Lighthouse, Bidston Observatory and Bidston Hill. It could go two ways.
In one possible future, the land is used for the amenity of visitors to Bidston Lighthouse, Observatory and Hill. Open-air events are held on the site. Bidston Observatory is re-invented as an artistic research centre, incorporating a permanent exhibition about its scientific heritage. Bidston Lighthouse becomes self-sustaining as a place to visit. This is the future we dream about. We have, of course, made our own bid to acquire the land for this very purpose.
In the other possible future, a developer or property speculator succeeds in acquiring the land. A long, drawn-out battle with local pressure groups, including ourselves, ensues. The developer might eventually obtain planning permission and listed buildings consent for some kind of development on the site. Let's say its a residential development (which would also require change-of-use). Wilding Way would probably need to be widened, creating a danger to wildlife and dog-walkers, who stop using the northern end of Bidston Hill. You can see where this leads: Bidston Hill is sacrificed to meet the government's targets for new housing. The prospect of public-facing, sustainable uses for the Lighthouse and Observatory is compromised. Maybe the Lighthouse and Observatory struggle on, or maybe they don't.
Of course, the developer might ultimately lose the battle for planning permission. Maybe they sit on the land for a few years, letting it go to seed. Fly-tippers take advantage. No-one visits the Lighthouse or Observatory. Everyone is out of pocket (except the lawyers). Everyone suffers.
More about the Proudman land
The land was once the kitchen gardens of Bidston Lighthouse. Its official postal address is 4 Lighthouse Cottages, CH43 7RA. An oceanographic research facility, latterly called the Joseph Proudman Building, stood on the site from the 1970s until its demolition in 2013.
Since the Joseph Proudman Building was demolished, the land has been used from time to time by picknickers, dog-walkers and mountain bike enthusiasts, as an exercise ground by local schools and fitness fanatics, not to mention fly-tippers. Hedgehogs, foxes, owls, kestrels, woodpeckers and other wildlife have been seen on the site.
Demolition of the Joseph Proudman Building, 2013
The land is enclosed on two sides by a sandstone wall. The wall is a grade-II listed building in its own right, and the land is within its curtilage. The same wall encloses Bidston Lighthouse and Bidston Observatory, which are also grade-II listed. All three listed buildings were designed by George Fosbery Lyster, Engineer-in-Chief to the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board. Every stone on the site was locally quarried, and every stone is exactly where Lyster placed it a century-and-a-half ago. There is no conceivable development that would not diminish the group value of the site.
The land was originally part of the title of Bidston Lighthouse when the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board sold the Lighthouse to the Birkenhead Corporation in 1935. At the time, the minutes of the Corporation said: "By this purchase the land would be available for all future generations for recreational purposes". This intention was reflected both in the price – a modest £1000 – and in a restrictive covenant prohibiting new buildings. This covenant still attaches to the freehold title of the land in question, but it is not mentioned in the leasehold title. The covenant has not been tested in the courts – yet.
The drains of Bidston Lighthouse and Cottages run beneath the Proudman land. The route of these drains is not known by Unitied Utilities.
The western boundary of the land is disputed. The owners of Bidston Lighthouse claim an easement over the land in order to access their outbuilding, originally a coal-store and toilet block, and later a hazardous waste store.
The single-track access road, Wilding Way, is owned by Wirral Council, but it is not adopted. It is not a public highway. It doubles as a public footpath for most of its length. It is crossed by dog-walkers, horse-riders and wildlife.
The land comes with no rights over that part of the access road that extends beyond its western boundary. So without the willing co-operation of the Lighthouse and Observatory, the developer's vehicles would have to turn within the boundaries of the land being developed.

Bidston Observatory – buyers beware
Bidston Observatory – that iconic symbol of Liverpool's scientific, industrial, and maritime heritage – should be celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. Instead, it is threatened yet again by unsympathetic, inappropriate development.
Bidston Observatory was built on the grounds of Bidston Lighthouse in 1866 by George Fosbery Lyster, Engineer-in-Chief to the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board. The same man re-built the lighthouse a few years later, and renewed the perimeter wall enclosing the site. The site today looks much as Lyster planned it, wanting only a little loving care to remedy a few years of neglect. But there is a real and present danger.
Bidston Observatory is back on the market again, as the Wirral Globe, Liverpool Echo and the Media Penguin have noticed.
Now that the news has broken, it is time for us at Bidston Lighthouse to explain our position, and do what we can to disabuse potential developers of the notion that a residential development at Bidston Observatory would be welcome.
We are committed to preserving Bidston Lighthouse and Telegraph Station, and operating the Lighthouse tower as an educational resource and visitor attraction. We see ourselves as temporary custodians of the building, with a duty to preserve the possibility of a future reversion to public ownership or at least a use sympathetic to its heritage with a significant public-facing component. We still hope that a sympathetic owner with compatible intentions can be found for the Observatory.
A residential development on car park of Bidston Observatory could force us to abandon our ambitions for the world's most inland lighthouse. It is hard to see how we could continue to open the Lighthouse to the public if that were to happen. We would, of course, oppose any proposal for such a development with all the resources at our disposal.
We will happily support proposals for future use of the Observatory that are sympathetic to its heritage, sustainable and allow some form of public access.
We would support a proposal to convert the Observatory into a dedicated museum and visitor centre. We just don't think it likely in these uncertain times. We would not look kindly on any alterations or subdivisions (such as conversion to flats) that would permanently preclude such a possibility.
We are aware of one proposal from a potential buyer that meets all our criteria: to operate the Observatory as an artists' retreat, incorporating a museum and exhibition space that will be accessible to the general public. We would be delighted to see the Observatory used in this way.
Not an exciting development opportunity
The advertisement on the auctioneer's website describes the property as "an exciting development opportunity" with potential for eight new dwellings in the Observatory grounds. It is probable that such a proposal would also require listed buildings consent, as these dwellings are within the curtilage not only of the Grade-II listed Observatory, but also the Grade-II listed perimeter wall that encloses the site.
No such plans have actually been submitted to Wirral Borough Council. This is not suprising, for such a proposal would outrage the local community. Only a developer totally lacking in fear and social conscience would start that battle.
The same advertisement also mentions an "expired planning consent for 4 mansion apartments app ref APP/12/00536, likely to be granted again". The advertisement does not mention that the change of use was linked to a Listed Buildings Consent (LBC/12/00537), which was granted subject to an extensive list of conditions. Neither the current owner nor the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) who obtained the consent made a meaningful start on the works within three years. So the listed buildings consent lapsed three years later on 5 July 2015, and the permission to change the use to residential expired with it.
It is not at all clear that this application would be approved on re-submission. In 2012, the community consultation exercise resulted both in letters of objection and letters of support. We have reason to believe that those who expressed support in 2012 have since reversed their position, and would likely be opposed to a fresh application to convert the Observatory to residential apartments.
Any developer who is still considering making a bid for Bidston Observatory should also be aware of the following.
The Observatory and the site of the former Braehead Cottage were sold to Bidston Observatory Developments Limited (company number 09109510) for the stated price of £270,000 on 15 April 2015 (the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster and the sinking of the Titanic). The two titles were amalgamated into title number MS621814. At the time of the sale, the directors and shareholders of Bidston Observatory Developments Limited were Craig Malcolm William Blackwell and Jason Woltman. Craig Blackwell was the company secretary. On 16 June, 2015, Blackwell and Woltman ceased being directors and shareholders of the company, and Antwon Bonnick became the sole director and shareholder. On 5 August 2015, Cheryl Bernadette Galvin became a director of and the majority shareholder in the company. Company accounts made up to 31 July 2015 were due on 1 April 2016. On 28 July 2016, they were still overdue.
The Observatory is currently occupied by "guardians" who pay rent to Camelot. According to an advertisement on the Camelot website (retrieved 24 Jun 2016), rooms are available from £60 per week, and the amenities include two shared kitchens. Nine guardians live in the building, a further two rooms being uninhabitable because of water damage, which is believed to have occurred after Bidston Observatory Developments Limited took possession of the Observatory.
It is rumoured that internal alterations have been made to the building that should have required Listed Buildings Consent, including the installation of a new kitchen and shower cubicle.
The entire building is rated as a single band B for council tax purposes. This is anomalously low for a building of such size, and reflects the internal condition of the building. It is also anomalous that a building whose last lawful use was as offices should be subject to council tax instead of business rates.
The Observatory is approached by Wilding Way, which although owned by Wirral Council, is not adopted. Wilding Way is only wide enough to take a single vehicle. It is regularly crossed by dog walkers, horse riders and wildlife. To widen the road would compromise the amenity of visitors to Bidston Hill Recreation Ground and the wildlife that inhabit it.

Bidston Observatory – Heritage for Sale
Bidston Observatory is up for sale, again. Here is the listing on RightMove: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-28459380.html
Prospective buyers have only until 30th November to make their "best and final offer". This seems a little rushed, given that the advert appeared in Wirral News only last week.
I hope the new owners appreciate what an important piece of Merseyside heritage they are taking on.
Bidston Observatory and Lighthouse, postmarked 1907
The Observatory was built in 1866, when the expansion of Waterloo Dock forced Liverpool Observatory to re-locate to Bidston Hill. It was built alongside Bidston Lighthouse and Signals Station, on land owned by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board. John Hartnup, astronomer and Assistant Secretary to the Royal Astronomical Society, had been the Director of Liverpool Observatory since it was built in 1843. Amongst his achievements was the calculation of the longitude of Liverpool, which was important for navigation and the development of the port. He presided over the move to Bidston Hill, and continued as director of Bidston Observatory until his retirement in 1885, when he was succeeded by his son. The second director, John Hartnup Jr died on 21 April 1892, when he fell from the roof of the Observatory while making meteorological observations.
The Observatory, Lighthouse and Braehead Cottage from Boundary Road, postmarked 1909.
Over the years, the emphasis of the Observatory's work shifted from astronomy to other things, but always in the tradition of Time and Tide, so important to the port of Liverpool.
Of Time. The progression from observations of the stars, to the determination of longitude, to the calibration of chronometers was a natural one. The Observatory's two levels of cellars and other features made it especially suited for calibrating chronometers under controlled conditions of temperature and seismic vibrations. Marine chronometers from all over the empire were calibrated at Bidston. The One-O-Clock gun at Morpeth Dock was signalled from the Observatory by electric cable.
Of Tide. Ever since Liverpool's harbour-master William Hutchinson (the same fellow who pioneered the use of parabolic reflectors in lighthouses on Bidston Hill) took the first extended series of tidal measurements over a period of nearly thirty years, Liverpool had led the world in tidal studies. This work became centred at Bidston Observatory when the Liverpool Tidal Institute was set up there under Joseph Proudman's direction after World War I. Arthur Doodson's work with mechanical computers for tide prediction happened here. One of his machines was used to predict the tides for the D-Day landings.

In 1969, the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) took over responsibility for the Observatory. Oceanographic research continued to expand under their auspices. During the 1970's, the Joseph Proudman Building was constructed in the former kitchen gardens of Bidston Lighthouse.
In 1989, the Observatory, Lighthouse and the perimeter wall enclosing them became Grade-II listed buildings.
In 2004, the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory moved from Bidston Hill to a new building at the University of Liverpool. Their oceanographic research is still continuing today, but now in the guise of the National Oceanography Centre. NERC's plans to sell the site to a developer aroused opposition from local pressure groups, and the spectre of an eleven-story high-rise residential development was averted.
Bidston Observatory has featured on TV on several occasions, including episodes of Coast (Series 7, Episode 5: "The Riddle of the Tides"), Inside Out, and Where's Fred. Joyce Scoffield, who used to work in the Observatory, has written a book about it: "Bidston Observatory: The Place and the People", 2006 (available on Amazon). J. Eric Jones wrote "From Astrononomy to Oceanography – A brief history of Bidston Observatory", which you can download from the NOC web site.

As I mentioned back in "The Case of the Missing Letterbox", we live on an unnamed road. It's a narrow lane that runs up the hill from Boundary Road to the Lighthouse and Observatory on Bidston Hill.
But we can change that! As long as all the residents and owners agree on the new name, and we pay for the road signs, we can give our road a name. So, what should we call it?
We could name the road after one of the historic buildings to which it leads.
There's been a lighthouse on the site since the 1771, when the first Bidston Lighthouse was built, further from the sea than any other lighthouse in Britain. This was after the Lower Sea Light at Mockbeggar Wharf had been destroyed by storms. The Upper Sea Light (the present Leasowe Lighthouse) became the Lower Sea Light, and Bidston Lighthouse became the Upper Sea Light. It featured a massive parabolic reflector, 12 feet in diameter, developed on-site by William Hutchinson, which enabled the light to be seen at a distance of 21 nautical miles. The present Bidston Lighthouse was built by Mersey Docks and Harbour Board in 1873, after the original lighthouse was damaged by fire and demolished. Lighthouse Lane might be a good name for our road.
The Observatory was built in 1866, when the Liverpool Observatory relocated to Bidston Hill from what is now Waterloo Dock. It's had many uses over the years, including chronometer calibration, tide prediction, meterological observations, signalling the firing of the One O'Clock Gun at Morpeth Dock, and offices for oceanographic research. The Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory was based here until 2004, when it relocated to the University of Liverpool. But it would be confusing to name the road after the Observatory, because there's already an Observatory Road nearby.
Braehead Cottage used to sell teas. It was located outside the boundary wall that surrounds the Observatory and Lighthouse, near to the old coach house. It fell into disrepair after the war, and was demolished.
The Bidston Signals were once a prominent feature along the skyline of Bidston Hill. More than 100 flagpoles along the ridge of Bidston Hill signalled the approach of ships into Liverpool, allowing the merchants time to ready their crews for unloading. The signals service was augmented by a semaphore based telegraph system that connected Anglesey to Liverpool. The original Signals Station predated the first lighthouse. In 1873, the signals function was incorporated into the new lighthouse. Signals Road? Semaphore Lane? Too obscure, perhaps?
Or we could name the road after a historical person.
Richard Wilding was the first lighthouse keeper of Bidston Lighthouse, having served previously at Leasowe. When he died in 1797, his wife, Elizabeth took over as keeper, and served until 1800. Elizabeth Wilding was Liverpool's first female lighthouse keeper. She got the job on the strict condition that "she shall continue to behave properly … and shall not attempt to employ or use the said Building called the Bidston Lighthouse or any of its Appendages as a Publick House". Wilding Way has a certain ring to it.
Dr. Arthur Thomas Doodson (31 Mar 1890 – 10 Jan 1968) was a British oceanographer. He was Associate Director of the Liverpool Observatory and Tidal Institute when it formed in 1929. He is perhaps best known for the Doodson-Légé Tide Predicting Machine, the mechanical computer that was used to predict the tides for the D-Day landings. He lived and worked for a time at Bidston Observatory, and is buried in Flaybrick Cemetery. Mary Connell remembers him fondly. At Christmas he gave presents to the two Connell girls who lived in the Lighthouse Cottages, saying "here's two-and-six for you and half-a-crown for you". Mary was convinced that she was somehow missing out. Doodson Drive or Doodson Lane might be good names for our road.
Joseph Proudman (30 Dec 1888 – 26 Jun 1975), CBE, FRS, was Honorary Director of the University of Liverpool Tidal Institute. The Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory and the Joseph Proudman Building were named after him. At the moment, there is some controversy about the future of the Joseph Proudman Building. A vocal few want it turned into a drumming school and Grade-II listed. We think it is an eyesore and should be demolished.
What do you think we should call our road?

Q: Display each list element in a separate line (console) In this part of code:
    System.out.println("Alunos aprovados:");
    String[] aprovados = {"d", "a", "c", "b"};
    List<String> list = new ArrayList();
    for (int i = 0; i < aprovados.length; i++) {
        if (aprovados[i] != null) {
            list.add(aprovados[i]);
        }
    }

    aprovados = list.toArray(new String[list.size()]);
    Arrays.sort(aprovados);
    System.out.println(Arrays.asList(aprovados));

An example result of System.out.println is:
[a, b, c, d]
How could I modify the code above if I want a result like below?
a
b
c
d
Or, at least:
a,
b,
c,
d

A: Iterate through the elements, printing each one individually.
for (String element : list) {
    System.out.println(element);
}

Alternatively, Java 8 syntax offers a nice shorthand to do the same thing with a method reference
list.forEach(System.out::println);

or a lambda
list.forEach(t -> System.out.println(t));

A: If one wants to display each element in the same line, without those brackets:
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Set<String> stringSet = new LinkedHashSet<>();
    stringSet.add("1");
    stringSet.add("2");
    stringSet.add("3");
    stringSet.add("4");
    stringSet.add("5");
    int i = 0;
    for (String value : stringSet) {
        if (i < stringSet.size()-1) {
            System.out.print(value + ",");
        } else {
            System.out.print(value);
        }
        i++;
    }
}

Manufacturer knew Cold-FX wasn't effective, says lawyer
Posted Feb 02, 2016 on globalnews.ca
John Green, a litigator in Vancouver, is alleging that Valeant Pharmaceuticals know that the Cold-FX was not much of a remedy for cold and flu but decided to withhold this vital information.
Green is spearheading a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer of Cold-FX which he filed in British Columbia and Saskatchewan, for falsely claiming that by taking it, one's immune system will be boosted therefore staving off an onset of cold or flu.
The lawyer has also alleged that research do not support the claims of the Cold-FX manufacturer.
The lawsuit, which was initially filed back in 2012, is now awaiting certification from the B.C. Supreme Court.
The lawsuit, however, has no claim amount. Green explained that this is because the lawsuit covers every box of Cold-FX sold under the false claim.
Should it be proven that indeed the Cold-FX does not relieve cold and flu and that its manufacturer lied about it, then Canadians could asked to be refunded for the boxes of Cold-FX they bought.
Calgary lawyers worried for their clients' health
Posted Jun 30, 2015 on www.huffingtonpost.ca
Calgary lawyers Shamsher Kothari and Stephen Bitzer are asking for a sentence of between eight to 10 years for their clients who have been convicted for their involvement in a Ponzi scheme considered as one of the biggest in Canada.
Kothari fears that his client, Milowe Brost, 61, might die in jail due to his poor health should he be given a longer sentence.
Bitzer, for his part, said that even a 10-year sentence is too long for his 71-year-old client, Gary Sorenson.
The lawyer added that 10 years is akin to a life sentence for Sorenson at his age.
Brost and Sorenson were convicted last February of fraud and theft while Brost was also found liable of laundering money.
The sentencing judge is expected to make a decision later as the court has yet to review about 800 requests for restitution from victims.
National defence expresses desire to settle sex assault claims
London litigator Phillip Millar and lawyers of the Justice Department are working together after the Department of National Defence said it wanted to settle the claims made by eight women who alleged they were sexually assaulted by the department's medical technician.
According to the victims, they were subjected to a breast examination wherein they were touched inappropriately by James Wilks.
Wilks had denied the claims of the women and that he had done the examinations according to the standard procedure.
In 2013, several women including four of the five who have filed a claim, brought their complaints against Wilks in a court martial wherein he was convicted for several counts of breach of trust and sexual assault. The military judge gave his nod to proof that the victims, all under 40, did not have to undergo the breast examination.
He was sentenced to two years and six months which he hasn't started serving yet because he has appealed the conviction.
It was not the first time that Wilks has been convicted by a court martial because in 2011, he was also handed a nine-month sentence after he was convicted of charges of the same nature.
Millar said his clients are happy that the National Defence wants to go for a settlement.

New York State Democrats pass resolution calling for passage of GENDA
In light of the great news that the New York State Democratic Committee has stated its support for the passage of the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA), we asked Melissa Sklarz to tell us in her own words why GENDA is important and what needs to happen next. Melissa was at the New York Democrats' semi-annual meeting today in Garden City when they passed the resolution in support of GENDA. She's the Director of New York Trans Rights Organization (NYTRO).
Today, on October 1, 2007, the New York State Democratic Party passed a resolution supporting the quest for transgender and gender variant civil rights and the Gender Expression Non Discrimination Act (GENDA) in an effort to bring New York State in line with what other states have done throughout the US.
In 2002, an attempt was made to amend the Sexual Orientation Non Discrimination Act (SONDA) to include language added to protect "gender identity and expression", with a legal definition to explain this phrase. However, the amendment was defeated in the New York State Senate, and so a go-alone bill called GENDA was created.
In 2002, a similar bill was passed in New York City that created legal protection for trans people in areas like employment, housing, and public accommodation. In the subsequent years, guidelines were created by the trans community in an effort to add depth to this new idea. Areas included protection in schools, shelters, and public restrooms.
But outside of New York City, Albany, Ithaca, Suffolk Country and a few other areas, trans people in New York can still be fired from their jobs, arrested for using public restrooms, and denied apartment leases.
Many of us have horror stories about changing gender. Many of us have lost jobs, lost the love of our families, or wandered lost in a maze of inadequate or inappropriate health care. Many of us have stories of substance abuse that make a difficult situation almost impossible. Many of our young people turn to street sex or sex work to survive. And I know from my own experience, there are certainly no prizes for a young male to decide to live life as a female and cope with the lack of compassion from an uncaring culture.
We do not think GENDA will necessarily change the culture overnight, but it is a beginning. With state-wide legal protection, the culture of transgender people and the non trans majority will change. Options will grow, behavior will modify, and some conflict will be resolved. Like all struggles, they will not happen immediately. One only needs to view the issue of marriage equality over the last 10 years to see how public dialog can change an idea and culture.
As a trans woman in New York, I am grateful for the effort of the New York State Democratic Party and look forward to the Legislature passing the GENDA Bill in 2008. To make this happen, it is imperative that all progressive and caring people join together to help educate New Yorkers and our legislators that we are your sons and daughters and desire a level playing field in which to survive.
Melissa Sklarz
Director of NYTRO

Putting Peace Back in the Picture
Banksy graffit art, Separation Wall
There's very little talk in Israel about peace nowadays. Since the failed negotiations between the Israeli and Palestinian leadership in 2000, the predominant belief in Jewish Israeli public opinion is that "there's no partner for peace". Yes, Israeli Prime Minister declares every now and again that he's ready to talk to the Palestinian President Abu Mazen any time, but there's been no movement at all since October 2010 when the talks promoted by the Obama administration ran aground on the issue of settlements: the Israeli government refused to freeze them, and the Palestinian Administration refused to negotiate while their land was being taken from them. Even if there were negotiations, talk about peace isn't the same as peace.
The "Arab Spring's" potential and actual dangers to Israel are far more often reported in the media and mentioned in conversation (attacks launched by Islamists from the Egyptian Sinai peninsula; concerns about the future of the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty of 1979; anxiety about what sort of regime will take over in Syria). As seen in Netanyahu's presentation of a cartoon bomb in his UN speech on September 27, in the Israeli mediasphere it's simply assumed that Iran will use a nuclear bomb if it enriches enough uranium, posing an existential threat to Israel. And certainly for Israelis who live close to Gaza, the presence of war rather than peace seems to be confirmed regularly when rockets and mortars fall on them, often as part of a routine exchange of violence following Israeli "targeted killings" of Palestinians there.
Those Israelis who prefer not to watch or listen to any news and just get on with their lives can imagine that the relative quiet in relations between Israelis and Palestinians is a kind of peace, especially because the mainstream news long ago forewent reporting the daily assaults by West Bank settlers and on-going displacement of Palestinians by the military government. If on this side of the Separation Wall's it's peaceful, what does it matter what happens on the other side?
In an effort to get people talking about peace again, women activists in a group called Israeli Palestinian Bereaved Families for Peace, often known as The Parents Circle – Family Forum, has launched a campaign to Put Peace Back in the Picture. Launched on a dedicated Facebook page titled A Crack in the Wall, the campaign invites the public "to dream, talk and think anew about peace." Everyone is asked to post a picture of themselves on the page while holding a sign that says: "I also want to bring peace back into the picture," mostly in in Hebrew or Arabic, but also English and other languages too. The web page for the campaign says:
We can blame the other side, the circumstances or ourselves, but the fact is that slowly but surely, peace as an option has vanished from our midst and we've come to terms with the fact that it's not possible, certainly not in the foreseeable future.
…And when there is no vision of peace, nothing will happen to lead us there. Other visions and other aims will continue to lead us to more and more years of conflict and alienation between us and our Arab neighbors.
We stand here together – Israeli and Palestinian women of the Forum of Bereaved Families for Reconciliation and Peace. We want to bring peace back into the conversation of Israeli and Palestinian society; and to then call on our leaders to act, in any way possible, to bring about peace in our region and end the cycle of hatred and bloodshed.
In addition to the Facebook campaign which currently shows over 160 photos, the women activists also held a three hour event on Internatio
Jon Simons at Parent Circle – Family Forum event
nal peace Day, Friday 21 September, placing a few stalls by an entrance to Tel Aviv's busy Carmel Market at which passers-by were invited to be photographed with a sign. Some were happy to do so, others were reluctant, and inevitably a few people wanted to argue. Taking turns to use the megaphone, the women activists dressed in white repeated the message of the
Parent Circle – Families Forum event, Bring Peace Back Into the Picture
Children painting peace at Parents Circle- Familes Forum event
event, while a young woman was on hand to photograph the willing. At the stall there were also blank placards on which children drew their images of peace (why do we imagine that only children can imagine peace?) and there were stickers handed out too bearing the group's slogan "It won't be over until we talk" (in Hebrew this rhymes as: ze lo y'gamer ad sh'ndaber). The highlight of the event for the women was the arrival of their Palestinian friends, allowed on this occasion to travel from the West Bank with military permits. Their presence didn't prevent those who wanted to pick a verbal fight from insisting loudly, in line with Israeli "common sense of the age," that "we want peace, but they don't. They'd kill us if they could." This obvious projection of intentions is sustained by an image of the enemy Other that is stronger than any reality.
The campaign is shaped by two metaphors that are slightly different, one visual, one spatil, yet that reinforce each other. The women have understood that if there is to be peace, we have to be able to see it, to envision it, to imagine it. But given current circumstances, it's hard to imagine the kind of peace that would put an end to the killings that have bereaved these families (in contrast to the imagined "peace" that is the relative quiet on the Israeli side of the Separation Wall). And so there also has to be a new space opened up to see and imagine peace; there has to be a crack in the wall. This remarkable group, Parents Circle – Family Forum, both embodies such a peace and opens a crack in the wall, because instead of allowing bereavement to feed the cycle of violence and revenge, they have chosen reconciliation and dialogue. Their hope is that by example more people on both sides will see each other as partners for making peace rather than as antagonists for waging war. The campaign is a start, or rather another of many small efforts by Israeli and Palestinian peace groups to at least keep a crack in the wall open so that peace can be imagined and made real.

Typically, when semi-discrete approximations to time-dependent partial differential equations (PDE) or explicit multistep schemes for ordinary differential equation (ODE) are constructed they are derived such that they are stable and have a specified truncation error $\tau$. Under these conditions, the Lax--Richtmyer equivalence theorem assures that the scheme converges and that the error is, at most, of the order of $||\tau||$. In most cases, the error is in indeed of the order of $||\tau||$.
We demonstrate that schemes can be constructed, whose truncation errors are $\tau$, however, the actual errors are much smaller. This error reduction is done by constructing the schemes such that they inhibit the accumulation of the local errors, therefore they are called Error Inhibiting Schemes (EIS).


Animal Language – This song is just one of those Lou songs that is so god-awful on so many levels that it somehow becomes something wonderful. Especially the ending.
Kill Your Sons – Lou spent a lot of time and effort trying to portray his upbringing as far more horrific than apparently it ever was. But his folks did make him submit to electroshock which did fry him a bit. This song is sort of a response to that, I guess, but all wrapped up in Lou's version of things and delivered in a "I don't want to be singing this" vocal styling. It's not a very good song, but then again, this isn't a very good album.
Sally Can't Dance – The title track. I don't know what there is about this song that distinguishes it from the rest of the crap on this album. Maybe it's the horns. Maybe it's the fact that Lou is trying to get groovy – except he doesn't seem to care about being groovy – and yet there is a groove – except there isn't. Whatever... Additional opinion: Lou couldn't dance either.


Plans to turn Lincolnshire into a leader on rural health have been laid out by healthcare professionals.
More than 60 delegates were invited to a two-day symposium at Belton Woods Golf Club, starting off the process of planning for the county to work as a National Centre for Rural Health and Care.
The idea could see the county become a centre for national and international research into rural health, aiming to develop techniques and health care practises specific to the area and those similar to it, and changing Government policy away from urban-centric planning.
Chief executive of United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust, Jan Sobieraj, said: "I've been in Lincolnshire a relatively short time and in my research into the issues Lincolnshire faces it was pretty clear that there isn't anywhere you can go to in England that pulls together really good practice about how to effectively provide great care throughout the county – because it's really challenging.
He challenged those attending to 'have ambition for Lincolnshire' and said the future would be to look at wider practice, technology and research.
"Lincolnshire has an opportunity to invent it here and others can learn from us," he said.
It is now up to the healthcare bosses to firm up plans for a Centre for Rural Health and Care and how that can be sustainably delivered.
'Getting better broadband access is just as important as getting another doctor,' an American researcher into rural health care said.
Professor Iwa Moscowice, the director of the Rural Health Institute at the University of Minnesota, told last week's symposium how the centre had been used in America.
Prof Moscowice said rural health care was not necessarily about getting more physicians but getting people to take care of themselves.
He said the US had seen an increase in telemedicine, using technology to communicate with patients.
Mr Moscowice said: "Use of technology is really important.
"These little hand held computers, iPhones etc, are going to be evolving to the next phase of their life and undoubtedly going to relate to monitoring the health status of our communities.
"On the one hand technology is important and is one way to get access to services locally through telemedicine, but the other side is that technology is going to help consumers to get engaged in their own healthcare and to be monitoring their own healthcare and understanding when they do need to go in (hospital) and when they don't need to go in.
Those attending the symposium were also shown new technology by Matthew Warnes, of Adaptive Technology Europe/Grandcare, which demonstrated a system that could be installed in a patient's house and linked to health professionals and family as well as to diagnostic equipment.
This technology could be used to monitor a patient's health from a distance, providing, for example, benefits to elderly people who live independently.

Starry night for Tate in New York: celebrity friends help museum fundraise in style
Sarah Jessica Parker and the mysterious Tate Americas Foundation raise money for Latin American acquisitions
Adrian Dannatt
1st May 2013 04:00 GMT
The Tate's third triennial artists' dinner in the US on Wednesday—hosted by Glenda Bailey, the editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar, and the ubiquitous Sarah Jessica Parker, and sponsored by Dior—honoured the Tate Americas Foundation, that faintly mysterious, highly wealthy group of patrons whose largesse helps boost the museum's holdings of Latin American work.
The director of the Tate, Nicholas Serota, emphasised that this dinner was about the artists themselves, as every museum director feels obliged to say when faced by a sea of business backers. (As if anyone is going to claim otherwise; when was the last time a director said "our museum believes hedge-fund managers and industrialists should always come first"?)
There were certainly plenty of artists in evidence, with a discreet emphasis on artists of colour of a sometimes neglected generation, hence the welcome presence of Barkley Hendricks and Sam Gilliam. Here was Marina Abramovic, resplendent in full-length black leather gloves, with her fashion-designer friend Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy, sitting next to Tate Modern's director, Chris Dercon; here was the ever-elegant Taryn Simon alongside Okwui Enwezor, handsome Adam McEwen wooing a table of lovely lady donors, Guillermo Kuitca cutting a goateed dash through Argentine plutocrats and young Matthew Brannon deep among the bankers. Among the other "artist honorees" were the grizzled veterans Lawrence Weiner and Alex Katz, set against the relative jeunesse of Elizabeth Peyton, Richard Phillips and Rirkrit Tiravanija. There was also, of course, a determinedly strong representation of Latin American practitioners, part of this heroic battle against the "Yankee Imperialist Gringo", including Allora & Calzadilla, Vija Celmins, Vik Muniz and Ernesto Neto.
Curiously, the rich people who make all of this happen are unrecognisable by comparison and, although known to the top dealers and directors, remain discreet shadow operators. Thus, many in the art world could not put faces to the names of some of the most important people the Tate depends upon, whether it be Tiqui Atencio Dermirdjian and Jeanne Donovan Fisher or the all-powerful co-chairs of this event, Estrellita Brodsky, Kira Flanzraich, Pamela Joyner, Amy Phelan and Christen Wilson.
In his speech, Serota outlined the history of the foundation, kickstarted in 1988 by a monster donation from Sir Edwin and Lady Manton, the interest from which remains a crucial part of the buying budget. Previously known as the American Patrons of Tate, the organisation was renamed earlier this year to reflect its "expanding geographical base of support". Since 1999, the charity has raised more than $100m.
The North American Acquisitions Committee and the Latin American Acquisitions Committee each have 40 members, who pay $15,000 a year and are taken around galleries and studios by Tate curators. On the day of the dinner, patrons had toured Chelsea with Mark Godfrey to look at work by artists from Elizabeth Neel to Carol Bove, and were disappointed to discover that everything by Garth Weiser had already been sold at Casey Kaplan.
Everything also sold at the dinner auction by Simon de Pury, starting at $11,000 for Christmas tree decorations by Nathan Carter. Shopping and lunch with Sarah Jessica Parker also sold well, not once but twice, the actress gamely agreeing at the last moment to do Dior and the Four Seasons for two different bidders at $45,000 a shot, while sailing the Greek islands on Dakis Joannou's luxury Jeff Koons-decorated yacht Guilty brought $175,000.
Then it was time for dancing next door, courtesy of DJ artist Jim Lambie (disappointingly now needing specs to read his vinyl), among a froth of youth each paying $200 and where, impressively, Serota could still be seen working the room long after most directors of his stature would have tottered bed-ward.
The auction raised $500,000 and the entire evening pulled in more than $2m, every penny of which goes towards the acquisition of work from the Americas.

Winning the war for talent: how firms get the jump on hiring students as early as possible
With the new college year dawning, companies will be watching closely for the skills coming on track.
By Jonathan Keane Reporter, Fora September 1st 2019 6 min read
AS STUDENTS PREPARE to return to university, companies on the hunt for young talent are gearing up their recruitment efforts to get their hands on the best skills early.
The hunt for talent has become ever more fierce in recent years and in the tech sector it is particularly acute. Efforts to recruit top university students have become more nuanced and specific.
Companies in Ireland, big and small, face significant hurdles in competing against the tech giants. It's a common refrain heard among the sector.
For Sean Judge, organiser of recruitment event Upstarter, efforts to recruit university students may not be new but have become more nuanced. Rather than blitzing career days and events, companies are looking for more specific skills, he says.
"Instead of it being a Trinity College recruitment event, it would be a management science and information systems class talk or a more targeted event for the exact students that they want to hire," Judge says.
Software engineering is one skill in particular that is in high demand.
"It's less generalised. It used to be that it was 20 jobs for 200 students, it's the opposite way around now. I would say there's hundreds of jobs for students with these skills and not enough students."
Milk round
The 'milk round' has been a well-trodden avenue around September and October for companies to recruit people while they're still pursuing their education, usually as they're entering their final year.
"Milk rounds and the recruitment process is extremely competitive at that time of year. That's when the majority of universities would have their careers fairs," according to Finola Gallagher-Taaffe, manager of graduate recruitment at professional services firm Deloitte.
"The interviews would take place in the milk round. Recruitment happens in October time so they'll be going into their final year of university for positions that start the following September," she says.
It's a common way for major firms like Deloitte to recruit staff into their already bustling ranks.
Engaging universities
For multinationals weighing up an office in Ireland, the availability of talent is a consistent attraction.
US company Rent The Runway, an online service for clothes rentals, announced earlier this year that it was hiring 150 jobs at a new base in Galway. Dorothy Creaven, the managing director for Ireland, tells Fora that it is engaging with NUI Galway and GMIT to assist in these efforts.

Creaven, who studied electronic engineering at NUI Galway, says that the company is looking to hire out of university programmes in science, technology, engineering and maths – collectively known as Stem subjects – with the intention of assembling a more diverse team and getting an early view on the skills that graduates will have.
"I've had a couple of meetings with Ciarán Ó hÓgartaigh who is the NUI Galway president. We're figuring out how best we can engage with NUI Galway and also specifically on creating career pathways for women in Stem," she says.
"We would imagine that engaging with these universities across Ireland, but also across other colleges internationally, is something that's going to help keep us compete as newer technologies come downstream as well."
By initiating these relationships, it will be getting the jump on new tech and disciplines. NUI Galway has implemented a number of new masters' programmes around data analytics and artificial intelligence.
"These areas are of particular interest to us as well because obviously AI is going to be at the forefront of technology development," Creaven says.
"Data analytics was an area that a lot of people wanted to work in a good few years ago, but it's now that really those opportunities are beginning to appear nationally for Ireland across the jobs front."
Creaven did not disclose how many people are currently employed by Rent The Runway in Galway at this early stage.
Another company that is engaging heavily with third-level institutions is Kerry-based financial services company Fexco, which hires out of Tralee IT and is looking to expand that remit around Munster.
According to David O'Brien, who oversees a staff of 80 looking after software development and IT support services, Fexco takes on around eight students ever year on paid work placements from January to August.
"We're fine-tuning it as we go along. We've always had a relationship with IT Tralee down through the years and we've extended it this past year to other colleges."
O'Brien says it's important that student interns are thrown deep into the mix with projects related to their studies.
"Students can go into a company and they're just stuck in the corner. Not on purpose, it's just that everybody is busy. We get them involved in projects as much as we can," he says.
"They're given work that keeps them excited and engaged because if we don't keep them excited and engaged, they're not going to come back to us."
Long lead times on hiring students – who are often still figuring out their options – comes with some risks.
Students may end up getting a better offer from a rival company in the interim or fail to get the grades they need in their final year. This is certainly a challenge, according to Deloitte's Gallagher-Taaffe.
"We have a keep-in-touch programme with those students so we can give them continuous insight about what's happening with our firm," she says.
"Obviously there's a risk element as well because part of the application is the minimum requirement in regards to the results at university. It is a risk that they might not make those university results, so that's another reason for keeping in touch with them too."
Upstarter's Judge says that a lot of recruiters would "hedge their bets". A company might initially hire 130 or 140 people when they only expect to retain 120 by the time start dates roll around.
"The companies would lose a lot of candidates through that process as well so they'd allow for that."

Corrigan perfect for Palm Beach
Cardinals prospect makes Florida State League history
By Zack Cox
Once he got past the sixth inning, Chris Corrigan was in uncharted territory. He ended up in the Florida State League record book.
The Cardinals prospect pitched the first perfect game in team history Wednesday as Palm Beach blanked Charlotte, 8-0, before 1,422 at Charlotte Sports Park.
It was the ninth perfect game in the league's 93-year history and the first since Charlotte's Nick Regilio beat Jupiter, 3-0, on June 9, 2001.
"It feels great to finally go out there and throw a big game like that," Corrigan said. "And for it to be a perfect game makes it even better."
In his first season as a full-time starter, Corrigan (4-8) had never before been called upon to go the distance. In fact, he'd never pitched past the sixth inning in his professional career. But he said he experienced no fatigue as the game progressed.
"My arm felt great," the 24-year-old right-hander said. "I was feeling fine, just wanted to go out there and keep throwing. I had my defense behind me. I know my guys will make the plays, all I had to do was throw strikes."
Asked what pitches were working for him in the best performance of his career, Corrigan's answer was simple: Everything.
"I was throwing everything for strikes," he said. "I was able to get ahead in counts. The hitters really don't know what's coming when you can throw everything for strikes. It keeps them off-balance."
Corrigan, the Cardinals' 30th-round pick in the 2009 Draft, racked up a career-high nine strikeouts and did not issue a walk for only the second time in 16 starts this season (the other was a 2 1/3-inning stint on Aug. 16).
Making his 20th appearance for Palm Beach, the Houston native lowered his ERA to 4.02. He went 0-1 with a 7.36 ERA in four games out of the bullpen for Double-A Springfield, then struggled upon his return to the FSL, going 1-7 in his first 10 starts back. Corrigan's rebounded in his last two outings, yielding one run on six hits over five innings a week ago before making history on Wednesday.
"The first couple of outings are just about going out there and trying to see how long you can go, how your arm feels, how your body feels the next day," Corrigan explained. "As the season goes on, you want to progress and go deeper into games, and tonight I was able to go the full nine innings."
The no-hitter was the second in Palm Beach history. Tyler Lyons pitched the first, a seven-inning gem against Fort Myers on Aug. 8, 2011.
In support of Corrigan, third baseman Alan Ahmady drove in four runs and fell a triple shy of the cycle. Shortstop Ronny Gil doubled and collected three RBIs for the Cardinals.
Charlotte starter Braulio Lara (6-10) took the loss, allowing four runs on seven hits over five frames.

This is the proverbial Big News for HVAC. In his weekly radio address on December 5, President-elect Obama announced the outline of his and Vice President-elect Joe Biden's economic recovery plan. One of the plan's major emphases is the need for increasing America's overall energy efficiency, and one way Obama proposes to do that is by performing various green retrofits and upgrades on all sorts of buildings, including federal ones, where he says he plans to have old and inefficient heating systems replaced.
Naturally, media coverage is intense.
You can also read the full text of the address in, for example, the The Wall Street Journal ("President-Elect Barack Obama Outlines Economic Recovery Plan").
First, we will launch a massive effort to make public buildings more energy-efficient. Our government now pays the highest energy bill in the world. We need to change that. We need to upgrade our federal buildings by replacing old heating systems and installing efficient light bulbs. That won't just save you, the American taxpayer, billions of dollars each year. It will put people back to work [emphasis added].
Set National Building Efficiency Goals. Barack Obama and Joe Biden will establish a goal of making all new buildings carbon neutral, or produce zero emissions, by 2030. They will also establish a national goal of improving new building efficiency by 50 percent and existing building efficiency by 25 percent over the next decade to help us meet the 2030 goal.
Overhaul Federal Efficiency Standards. The current Department of Energy has missed 34 deadlines for setting updated appliance efficiency standards, which has cost American consumers millions of dollars in unrealized energy savings. Barack Obama and Joe Biden will overhaul this process for appliances and provide more resources to his Department of Energy so it implements regular updates for efficiency standards. They will also work with Congress to ensure that it continues to play a key role in improving our national efficiency codes.
Reduce Federal Energy Consumption. Currently, the federal government is the world's largest single consumer of energy in the world, spending approximately $14.5 billion on energy consumption in FY 2008. Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe in the importance of leading by example. They will make the federal government a leader in the green building market, achieving a 40 percent increase in efficiency in all new federal buildings within five years and ensuring that all new federal buildings are zero‐emissions by 2025. They will invest in cost‐effective retrofits to achieve a 25 percent increase in efficiency of existing federal buildings within 5 years. The Obama‐Biden plan will put forward the resources necessary to achieve a 15 percent reduction in federal energy consumption by 2015.
You know that massive green tsunami that's washing over America and simultaneously galvanizing and transforming the HVAC industry? It just gained a lot more mass.


Eddie Griffin, stand-up comic and star of the defunct UPN sitcom _Malcolm_&_Eddie_. Orlando Jones, co-star of _The_Replacements_ and commonly recognized as the "7Up Guy." Put these two together, and you get an action comedy that can be called just about anything... but funny.
Despite what the ads lead one to believe, _Double_Take_ is not about swapping identities so much as simply swapping outfits. When some heavies target Wall Street banker Daryl Chase (Jones) thanks to some dirty dealings at his firm, he trades clothes with loudmouth street hustler Freddy Tiffany (Griffin) to get out of a sticky situation. After the danger has been avoided and the two take a long trip to Mexico for safety, for some reason the pair never think to switch back, and for equally inscrutable reasons they start to play at being the other--leading to all sorts of mistaken identity situations. Never mind that their impressions of each other wouldn't fool anybody, nor the fact that Griffin and Jones simply LOOK NOTHING ALIKE--in changing from formal to casual wear, they are taken as completely different people.
Maybe writer-director George Gallo was trying to make some sociopolitical comment about how non-blacks think all blacks look alike, but that's giving him way too much credit. Besides, Gallo has a lot of other things on his mind: namely the convolutions of his overly plotted script. _Double_Take_ appears to be a lark of an entertainment, but there are so many sudden doublecrosses and reversals that it's bewildering. Not that deciphering the plot is worth the effort; the explanations Gallo offers are crude at best. If there's anything Gallo successfully does, it's confuse the audience.
And if there's one thing Gallo certainly does not do, it's make the audience laugh. Given the right material Griffin and Jones can be funny, but one would never know that from the few amusing moments they are able to create here. Jones' more lively qualities are muted in the straight man role, and the goofy Griffin is hardly convincing when called to do gunblazing action, not to mention he's just hampered in general by the PG-13 limitations. He was a lot more effective in the misbegotten Master P vehicle _Foolish_--a far worse film than _Double_Take_, mind you, but at least there he wasn't required to rein in his more profane (and more effective) comic instincts.
But a lack of joyous abandon is the least of _Double_Take_'s problems. So what is the greatest? A writer-director with a half-baked script and not the vaguest clue of how to bring it to life.

An easy spring party appetizer using less than 5 ingredients! Strawberry Goat Cheese Bites topped with a Balsamic Reduction Drizzle, takes only five minutes to make!
I don't know about you but with all the get togethers easy recipes are a must! Am I right? No body wants to be slaving away for a hour!
Nothing says easy like these four ingredient Strawberry Goat Cheese Bites!
This recipe screams party appetizer and has spring written all over it! All you need is Triscuit, Goat cheese, fresh Strawberries, and homemade balsamic reduction!
It honestly takes maybe 5 minutes to make and tastes like a dream!
Where did this recipe idea come from!?
Well, if you follow JHE you should know that I have a mild .. ok strong obsession with goat cheese and balsamic reduction.
Balsamic reduction. I could straight up bathe in the stuff! I would put the stuff on everything if I could.
And goat cheese … sheesh don't get me started on this creamy tangy dream cheese! Goat Cheese adds so much to any dish, it is one of my favorites to use!
And for the cherry on top – I added fresh sliced strawberries! Since… ya know … its strawberry season and all. Plus strawberries and balsamic rock together!
In order to compliment these strong flavors I needed a subtle yet delicious base vehicle – aka the Triscuit.
I was raised on these crackers! My mom used to get the vegetable flavored Triscuit on a weekly basis. She loved the vegetable seasoning I liked the plain, sometimes less is more!
With this dish, the ingredients shine for themselves!
It is crazy easy to make and looks way fancier than it is. It will become your new go to appetizer this summer!
Top crackers with goat cheese, diced strawberries, and a small drizzle of balsamic reduction.
For a large party size, use 1 pint of strawberries, box of plain triscuit crackers, 4 oz. of garlic & herb goat cheese, and 1/3-1/2 cup of balsamic reduction.
Strawberry + goats cheese = BEST COMBO! I could go a plateful right now!
Yes, I say strawberry all the things!!! Love these fun little cracker bites!
Thanks Jocelyn and I agree.. strawberries on every thing makes life so much better!
Oh my goodness. Now this is my kinda snack! I love everything about every component! The goat cheese, the strawberries and the triscuits are just the cherry on top!
I never know what to bring either! These snacks would be perfect!
Thank you so much Catherine! Love the simple yet elegant comment.. thats what I was shooting for!
Mine too girl! Totally the best kind of recipes.. easy peasy and delicious… yes please!
I love this idea! The saltiness of the triscuits paired with the goat cheese and strawberry make for the perfect snack or app!
Haha, I love your inbox / back pocket joke 🙂 These look great!
These look amazing! Simple and so delicious – that drizzle of balsamic reduction? Fabulous!
OMGosh Krista – this totally made my mouth water – it looks fabulous! And, I'm a huge fan of Triscuits!
Thanks Kristi! They are one of my favorites too!
My family and I just recently decided we like strawberries. Before, it was an utter hatred. But now that we like them (taste buds are weird, I swear), I'll definitely be making these little biteS!
Isn't it funny how your taste can change! Well I'm glad you like them now!!! They are amazing!
This sounds totally perfect for summer! I love the flavor combo!
These are so cute! And so easy. Trader Joe's has this feta dip that would be just amazing with this, I bet. Definitely planning on having this for my morning snack tomorrow!
Oh.. that feta dip would totally be awesome on this too!
Killer flavour combination going on here – strawberries, goats cheese and balsamic can definitely do no wrong!

The Lonely Forest Ends 2011 On High Note * Arrows To Be Released On Vinyl
The Lonely Forest spent most of the year on the road, including outings with Death Cab For Cutie, TheJoy Formidable, Two Door Cinema Club and Minus the Bear as well as a show-stopping set at Seattle's Bumbershoot Festival over Labor Day weekend, which saw them playing to thousands of people on the festival's main stage – Seattle's Key Arena.
A music video for the song "We Sing In Time" premiered earlier this summer on mtvU. MTV's Buzzworthy Blog called it "a powerful, visually striking work that'll scare and sadden." You can check it out here: http://on.mtv.com/nEr5mF.
The Lonely Forest is set to end 2011 on a high note, with their acclaimed album Arrows featured on several year-end lists, including NPR and Amazon, and their single "Go Outside" climbing the SiriusXM "Alt Nation" chart. Similarly, the band's Daytrotter session went live this week, and AOL's Spinner recently posted a video of the band performing an acoustic version of "Go Outside." 2012 is already gearing up to be a busy year for the band as well, as Arrows will be released on vinyl for the first time on January 31 and a tour is in the works for February and March (stay tuned for details).
Overall, 2011 proved to be a hugely successful year for The Lonely Forest. Their album Arrows has received overwhelming acclaim since its release earlier this year on Trans Records/Atlantic Records. NPR calls it "one of the best and most honest slices of pop music around," and the accolades continue to come in from the likes of SPIN, New York Magazine, Nylon, Teen Vogue, Alternative Press, Paste, and more. The band made their national television debut August 2 on Jimmy Kimmel Live! performing "We Sing In Time" and "Go Outside." Additionally, Arrows was in the Top 10 most added at CMJ upon its release, and the first single, "We Sing In Time" has proven to be a smash hit at the band's hometown station, 107.7 The End, in Seattle.
Trans Records is the new label headed by Chris Walla, guitarist and producer for Grammy-nominated rock band Death Cab for Cutie, who found The Lonely Forest's music so compelling he made the band his label's very first signing. Walla produced and engineered Arrows at Sound City studio in Los Angeles, Tiny Telephone in San Francisco and his own, Portland-based studio, Alberta Court. He also mixed three tracks – "Be Everything," "Turn Off This Song And Go Outside" and "I Don't Want To Live There." The rest of the album was mixed by John Goodmanson (Girls, Nada Surf, Weezer).
"The Lonely Forest proves to me," says Walla, "In a time full of throwbacks and references and meta-references, that nothing can beat a focused, bulletproof guitar rock band with amazing songs. I didn't start a label for nothing."
Hailing from Anacortes, WA – a small island town on Puget Sound – The Lonely Forest has risen to national recognition after years spent building a loyal following throughout the Northwest. The Lonely Forest is singer/guitarist/keyboardist John Van Deusen, guitarist Tony Ruland, drummer Braydn Krueger, and bassist Eric Sturgeon.

Jepsen, Jorgen Grunnet
Jazz Records 1942-1968: Volume 4c: J-Ki
Copenhagen, Denmark: Nordisk Tidsskrift Forlag A / S / Karl Emil Knudsen, 1970. First Edition.
Jepsen chose to begin this series with records beginning with the letter M (volume 5), following to the end of the alphabet, starting again from letter A, and continuing through to letter L. Jepsen explains his desire to do so in the foreword to volume 5: "It seems that the greatest of all discographies, 'Jazz Directory,' has stopped publication in the middle of the letter 'L,' and although I know I cannot reach the high standard of 'Jazz Directory' I have decided to begin this work with the letters following 'L' and to the end of the alphabet, after this I will start again from 'A'. Eight volumes are planned in all." The dates on the wrappers are relative; the author was able to use information outside of these date ranges, and more accurate ranges are listed on the front wrapper versos of volumes 4c and 4d, the last of the first eight volumes to be published.
Near Fine in green printed wrappers, with a crease and light toning to the spine.

One killed, one injured in house fire in southern Utah on Christmas Eve
By: Rebecca Green
IVINS, Utah — A woman was killed and a relative suffered injuries while trying to rescue her after a fire broke out at a home in Ivins Christmas Eve.
St. George News reports the fire started shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday in the area of West 100 North in Ivins.
Crews arrived to find heavy smoke and flames coming from the home, and firefighters located two people inside who were suffering from smoke inhalation and burns.
One occupant had been trying to rescue an elderly family member who was bedridden and unable to escape on her own. During that rescue attempt, the relative became overwhelmed by smoke and was trapped herself.
Firefighters managed to get both occupants out of the residence, and both were taken to a local hospital to be treated. The older woman suffered fatal injuries, and fire crews say that even though she was transported to the hospital she, "never made it out of the building alive."
Specific details about the condition of the injured relative were not available.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, and several family pets are not accounted for. Visit St. George News for more on this story.

Qatar National Day celebrations sideline hundreds of male expats
Peter Kovessy
National Day 2015
All photos by Navin Sam; with reporting from Peter Kovessy
Though many expat families reported enjoying yesterday's main National Day celebrations, hundreds of mostly Asian men were once again barred from watching the parade on the Corniche.
That includes dozens who knew they'd be turned away, but had hoped to catch a glimpse of the festivities from the sidelines near Souq Waqif instead.
Speaking to Doha News yesterday, Indian expats Jayan and Ravi said they arrived at 4:30am – some 3.5 hours before the parade was scheduled to start – and were blocked at multiple entrances.
"It is our first time here," Jayan said. "We heard that they were letting people in last year, so today being a holiday we naturally came to see the parade but were surprised to find that it was an exclusive event."
In addition to blocking the men from entering, police officers wearing riot equipment could be seen asking several to produce identification.
The exclusion of "single" men from National Day celebrations at the Corniche is an annual source of disappointment for many blue-collar expats, who have typically moved to Qatar without their spouses or children.
The influx of hundreds of thousands of migrant workers has dramatically skewed Qatar's demographics, so that the male-to-female ratio is now 3:1.
This has created a tricky dilemma for authorities, who want women to feel comfortable attending public events, but don't necessarily want to exclude the vast majority of the population.
As in past years, expats were encouraged to attend QND celebrations and parades in other parts of Qatar.
One of the National Day 2015 parades geared toward expats.
The Ministry of Interior said several schools and organizations participated in events at the Wakrah Sports Club, Al Rayyan Sport Club, the Barwa Worker's Complex in Al Khor as well as "Asian Town" in the Industrial Area.
Nevertheless, being barred from the main celebrations left some feeling ostracized.
"Most of these men here helped build this country, yet they're the ones who are excluded. Only people with money can go in," said Harsh, a Sri Lankan expat.
"(But) it's their country, so they can do whatever they want."
QND aside, the demographic issue has been a big one this year.
Photo for illustrative purposes only.
This fall, Central Municipal Council members have been debating reviving family-only days at shopping centers and the Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning published a series of interactive maps on its website highlighting that laborers cannot live in central Doha.
The debate over who has access to shared spaces continues among blue-collar workers as well, with some previously saying they don't mind segregation, while others call it hypocritical.
After being turned away from yesterday's parade, Indian expat Sohail Kashif said:
"They invite us for all the events they have no audience for, like football matches. But for an event like this, they separate us."
Meanwhile, many of the men who went to the Corniche yesterday told Doha News that they knew they would not be let in, but still came with the hope of catching a glimpse of the air show.
Early in the morning, some sat on chairs they found outside Souq Waqif. However, authorities eventually instructed souq staff to ask the men to leave and put away the chairs.
"They should at least let us stand near the parade grounds and then separate us from the families, so we can see what's going on," said expat Tahir Hasnie. "This is not good."

The Realstone Development Fund has direct ownership of most of its buildings. With direct ownership, taxes on income and capital generated by the buildings are collected from the Fund itself, which is generally subject to lower tax rates than ordinary taxpayers (individuals or corporations), while shareholders in the Fund are exempt from tax. Additionally, withholding tax is not applied to any such income before it is paid out.
Shareholders are only liable for wealth and income tax on Fund assets not directly invested in real estate. Tax is withheld before any such income is paid out.
Investing in a real estate fund thus has many advantages in terms of portfolio diversification, professional portfolio management, reduction of administration fees, negotiability, transparency, liquidity, security, estate planning and tax optimisation.

Q: Switching Fragments too quickly causes: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No activity I'm not using a ViewPager, and the only places where I am calling any Fragment transactions is on clicking buttons that live on a navbar in my activity's layout.
When I switch to fragments too quickly (like back and forth), I get this exception:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No activity

It seems to be when I click to switch another Fragment while the first one hasn't completely finished loading. I'm using a FragmentActivity.
Can anyone shed some insight on this?
My code to switch Fragments:
fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
    .replace(R.id.container, old,
        fragment.getClass().getSimpleName())
    .setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN).commit();

Edit:
Taking out the transition solved the problem, but I'm wondering if there is a way to do this with transitions in place. My theory is that the transition delays the fragment lifecycle and causes activity to be null when another fragment transaction is initiated.

A: I run into the same issue today. Turns to be that I was caching my Fragment (which is perfectly valid) but I've been removing/adding it to soon (when still animating)
Try checking: old.isRemoving() before calling .replace(R.id.container, old)
true means it's still in use and re-adding it triggers the issue. You should create a new fragment instance in that case.
My guess is I was trying to re-add a fragment while it's still animating its removal, so two fragment instances are required.


Buttons are present in our everyday lives from our phones to our website browsing. They are used to trigger an action whether it's to let someone submit a form or open a new website in a different tab. Newspaper Theme helps you design and create a button that fits perfectly into any layout. You can use it to guide readers to different pages for more information, but also trigger a popup video or even scroll down to a particular element on the page. Have you tested it out yet?
In a standard HTML page on the Internet, you encounter call-to-actions like "Shop now," "Read more," "Get started," and many more. Tech industry producers such as Apple, Adobe or Samsung prefer to have minimalistic designs to their websites, and this also applies to their buttons which tend to be rounded, bordered, transparent background with clear and concise text.
Musicians and artists have diverse styles for their websites, so the buttons that appear on the page tend to change colors on hover (Arianna Grande's website, Taylor Swift's website). Gradients are also a popular choice to give a button a lot more color and vibrancy. Moreover, for each website, the call-to-actions frequently use icons such as arrows, checkmarks, and so forth to drive more engagement.
With Newspaper Theme, anyone can easily design the perfect buttons for their site. You can add them to any page and template. Whether you opt for a minimalistic design or a colorful, vibrant one, it's all in your hands as Newspaper theme is ready to make it happen for you.
How do you design a button to fit into a website's design? Be consistent. Keep the colors the same as those appearing on your pages and posts. Moreover, if a page's photos have rounded corners, the button's edges should appropriately be round, too. The choices are unlimited.
Let's start by opening the tagDiv Composer on a page. In the Add Element List find the Button item. Drag and drop it on the layout, in the desired position. Now, design it! In the General Tab create a message for the element. What do you want it to do? Should it link to an existing page? Then, in the URL field type or paste the web address.
If you want to guide your audience to discover your YouTube, Dailymotion or Vimeo content, create a button that plays a video. To do this, drag and drop the element in the page or article, and, in the Video Popup section, simply add an existing URL. When a viewer clicks on the icon, the video pops up and plays. Now, all the readers can watch it without ever leaving your website.
Need multiple control elements to look the same? Check out the copy and paste style features to improve your workflow.
For a long page or article, create a button at the beginning that drives users to a specific place on the page. All you have to do is add a class to the targeted area. It's easy! Just open the General tab of the row, column or element and in the Extra Class box, type a name.
Now, in the Scroll to Class section of the Button options panel, write the same name. Save the settings and test out this feature. Did it scroll you down to it? Awesome The button appearing in this post, above, has the same attribute. Test it out by clicking it!
For a minimalistic design, choose Style 2 – Bordered in the Button Style section. Now pick a color for the text and border that fits into your site. Also, select a font that blends in, too. In the General tab, pick an Icon to represent the intended message.
Colorful designs bring a drop of vibrancy to any website. Click on the Style 1 – Solid for Button style. Now, choose two or three colors for the background color. If you're not sure which colors to pick, try complementary colors such as blue – yellow or stick to shades of the same color, like a dark and bright red. In the Deg. box, input a number. 180 reverses the rotation of the colors, 90 and -90 turn it clockwise and counterclockwise.
If you want a small animation for a button, you can do that. Either choose Style 4 – 3D Cube or Style 6 – Bordered with Shadow. They both add a small animation upon hover. Select the hover colors and text for the 3D Cube to shift the element's appearance. Whereas, if you alter the Shadow Offset for the Bordered with Shadow to give it more movement upon hover. Don't forget to choose the colors and fonts!
With all the variations in designs and styles, Newspaper Theme also makes it easier to experiment and create numerous original buttons. Gradients, hover animations, icons, dabble in each and find what works best for your site. Remember, each one is meant as an action. What would you like yours to do?
Links, scrolls, video popups 🎦 ? Tell us how you use buttons on your site in the comment box below!
Why such a near impossible to read font in this blog? Light grey??
We appreciate your feedback, and I've already passed this information on to our design team. Thank you! Have a great day :).
Great Post! Button! Button! Button!
Can we see live demo examples of these?
Thank you for your interest! The buttons in this article were specially crafted to highlight the variety of design options you can use to each one of them. There is an infinite number of choices to style a button.
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_law_firm/. If you need technical assistance from our support team, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com. Thank you for understanding!
Will this be available on Newsmag as well?
Thank you for your message. For the moment we don't plan to implement these type of buttons for the Newsmag WordPress Theme. If we'll have more requests in this behalf, we will reconsider adding them. Thank you for understanding!
