St James' top cop responds to mayor's rebuke - Division commander says work pressure kept law enforcement from municipal meeting
Published:Tuesday | January 14, 2020 | 12:18 AMChristopher Thomas/Gleaner Writer
Police Superintendent Vernon Ellis.
Superintendent Vernon Ellis, the commander in charge of the St James Police Division, says there were no ulterior motives in the police's failure to provide its mandated monthly report at the last two sittings of the St James Municipal Corporation (StJMC), and cited work pressure as the cause.
Ellis was responding to the rebuke from Montego Bay Mayor Homer Davis, who expressed disappointment that the police had not submitted reports for the months of December and January, robbing the municipality of critical information that is needed in the formulation of policies.
"We actually missed that meeting (January) because we're heavily in the operational time for the 2020 aspect of what we're doing, but we've been at other meetings and, from time to time, we have impromptu meetings with the StJMC that discuss immediate issues, to include vending and public order in the township," Ellis told The Gleaner yesterday.
"We've enjoyed a very good partnership with the municipal corporation in 2019, and I refer to the Operation Restore Paradise initiative where we did 6,000 prosecutions, plus enforcements and clean-ups, and that were driven by the StJMC and the JCF. For the February meeting of the StJMC, I'm projecting that myself or one of my deputies will be there as usual," added Ellis.
In his rebuke, Davis, who is renowned for his no-nonsense stance on municipal issues, said it was important for the police to honour their reporting arrangement to the StJMC as the information is critical in informing citizens about the state of the security affairs in the parish.
"We have citizens who listen to the news from the corporation monthly to get information on the police report. We know that the police can't tell us the finer details of their operations, but at least the citizens need to be reassured that this is a medium that the police can use to update them as to their success and police activities," Davis said.
In seeking to provide further assurance that, the police are serious about bringing order to the parish, which was the western region's most violent parish last year, Ellis said that during 2020, the police will be seeking to capitalise on the gains made during Operation Restore Paradise, a multi-agency initiative, which was launched last May to restore law and order in St James.
"It is our intention this year to go back at that type of initiative with the StJMC and tighten up some other areas. The intention is to get a big drive around education and sensitisation around certain issues," said Ellis.

50 Years of Concorde and the future of Supersonic Flight
Mar 07 2019 by Pete Burden
In the early years of aviation, it was a romantic, wonderous thing. It was about brave feats, privilege, mystique and adventure.
When the Wright Brothers took to the air, they were doing so in something akin to a powered kite.
In 1927 the Spirit of St Louis flew non-stop from Long Island to Paris, making it the first single engine, single seat aircraft to do so. The flight took a staggering 33 hours and 30 minutes.
But at that point in history the miracle was that it made it at all, not how fast it got there.
Even during the World Wars pilots were vaunted as Knights of the Sky. Daring, brave men who defied nature itself to do battle among the clouds.
Of course, we know the reality was quite different. Planes were unreliable, dangerous, noisy and uncomfortable. And the life expectancy of a pilots during the Second World War could be measured in weeks.
But that didn't stop generations from falling in love with the miracle of flight.
The realities of modern commercial flight quickly changed all that. Cramped conditions, terrible food, tedium and the misery of check-in and baggage claim bludgeoned any sense of romance from flight in the post war years.
That was until a bright day in March, 1969 at Toulouse Airpot a modest crowd of reporters and thousands of spectators gathered to watch history be made.
The 29-minute maiden flight of the Franco-British technological marvel would change the way the world looked at commercial flight and at the aerospace industry as a whole.
Why Concorde Changed the World
Supersonic flight – by 1969 – was nothing new. Military jets and strategic bombers could reach supersonic speeds and had done so since the experimental planes of the 1940s.
The English Electric Lightning (where the F35 gets its name) and the iconic F14 Tomcat, made famous by the 1986 hit Top Gun, were amongst the supersonic arsenal of the world's mightiest nations, during the Cold War years.
Supersonic flight had, for almost 30 years, been an instrument of war. A tactical option rather than a mode of transport.
Concorde placed the dizzying thrill of supersonic flight in the hands of the masses. Wrapped in a timeless design and a decadent experience.
No flight suits or oxygen masks to get in the way of a glass of champagne while travelling at Mach 2. All the while skimming the atmosphere at over 60,000 feet.
A little-known fact about the Concorde is at cruising altitude passengers were exposed to twice the normal amount of solar radiation. Pilots carried radiometers to warn them of unusually high readings so they could descend to a safer altitude.
Far more significantly, Concorde made flight romantic again, while making the world an awful lot smaller. Passengers could travel from London to New York and back before their loved ones went to bed.
For the international execs, London to Singapore went from an exhausting 17 hours in the air, to seven. It didn't take much to work out how much those ten hours saved were worth to big business.
But it went further than that. In the winter, by taking the evening flight from London to New York you could quite literally chase the sun.
How's that for daring, mystique, adventure and romance? Racing the night for a few more hours of daylight.
By the time the fleet were grounded in 2003 there were more astronauts than there were Concorde pilots. That makes for a pretty exclusive club.
Considering only 14 Concordes entered service and collectively only wracked up around 150,000 flights over it's 30-year career, it's impact on the world is undeniable.
Many blame the Air France crash in 2000 for grounding the supersonic airliner but the truth is both Air France and British Airways were already looking at grounding their fleets.
The truth is, Concorde was an analogue watch in a digital age. It need upgrading but the systems were so dated that it essentially needed rebuilding.
The outrageous ticket prices had kept Concorde profitable but never to the point that either British Airways or Air France could justify spending that kind of money.
But more significantly, the world had changed. Supersonic flight was expensive, noisy and environmentally calamitous. A Concorde produced higher emissions than the Boeing 747. The 747's engines were far more fuel efficient and the aircraft could hold 5 times the passengers and travel much further.
Coupled with the oil price shock of the 1970s, the Concorde rapidly became a testament to inefficiency and waste.
In the 80s and 90s that didn't seem like such a problem. Economies were booming and excess was the way to live.
Technology had made the need to travel around the globe a defenceless waste of money. And the average holiday maker wasn't about to shell out over £13k for a return ticket to New York.
Overlooking the fact that – fully laden – it could only just reach the US Eastern Seaboard from Paris and London. And the fact that other aircraft could carry more passengers, in better comfort, for longer distances.
The bottom line is the Concorde didn't make any sense. Not that it really had in the first place.
Had it sparked a technological revolution in commercial supersonic flight innovation then things might have been different. But it didn't.
Concorde just became more expensive to run, more expensive to maintain and less popular to fly.
The true tragedy of the Concorde is it is the first time in history where humanity has taken a technological backwards step. We went from a species capable of mass supersonic flight to one that wasn't.
As if someone flicked a switch and we all stopped looking skywards, fascinated by this incredible, feat of human ingenuity, and just carried on like nothing had happened.
Although Concorde's story is all but over, the same can't be said for supersonic flight.
In fact, Concorde's successors could be taking to the skies within the next decade.
Among the names attempting to revitalise supersonic flight are NASA, Boom Technology and Aerion who have the backing Boeing, GE, Honeywell, among others.
NASA seems pre-occupied with creating a low-level sonic boom through the design of the craft. While Aerion and Boom Technology are focusing on making supersonic flight mainstream again.
But that's where the similarities end.
Aerion is developing a 12-seater tri-engine jet that looks like it's been taken out of Tony Stark's sketch book. Essentially, they are looking to tap into the high-end corporate markets.
Although since Lockheed Martin are now working with Aerion on a feasibility study, there's obviously military and intelligence applications for a small, 12-person jet that can reach Mach 1.4.
The benefits of being able to rapidly deploy intelligence or military assets into hot spots will no doubt be worth its weight to countries like the UK and US.
Boom Technology on the other hand is looking to create the spiritual successor to Concorde. The Overture's design is a natural evolution of the Concorde. They also claim it can hit Mach 2.2, or roughly 1,451 mph.
However, rather than trying to cram 100 passengers into their aircraft, the Overture will only carry 55. With an emphasis on comfort, privacy and productivity for its all business class passengers.
They also claim that their turbofan engines are as fuel efficient per passenger as any of the leading commercial airliners.
If Boom can pull that off, then they may well fill the gap in the market left by Concorde and give airlines a boutique offering that will appeal to the top 1%.
The only obvious drawback is – without refuelling it has roughly the same range as the Concorde. Of course, that means you can still get from London to New York and back before the pubs shut.
However, anyone hoping to make supersonic jaunts from London to LA may be disappointed. Unless Boom at going to take the bold step and attempt mid-air refuelling.
The more likely scenario is a brief stop at JFK before making the 2,500-mile flight from there.
Presumably they too will have to use low-boom technology in order to be able to go supersonic over land. Past restrictions meant that Concorde could only do so over the ocean.
Whatever happens next, it's exciting to see supersonic flight is only a few short years away from returning to our way of life.
It may not have the same sense of wonder about it as Concorde or that sense of romance. The technology involved is all a little bit too Star Trek for that.
But with this next wave of innovation it may kickstart the revolution that we all hoped Concorde would start back in the 60s and 70s.
Where lumbering jetliners and unbearably long flights are the thing of the past. In its place supersonic mass conveyance for all, bringing the farthest flung corners of the world within our reach.
And when you consider how migration has split families across hemispheres, the ability to half flight times is a powerful thing to bring to the world.

Just recently We started out buying bitcoin and am now have actually listened to the good sized amount of discussing the particular increasing cost of living and depreciation nevertheless few people really understand plus take into account what rising living costs and depreciation are. Having said that allows beginning with typically the climbing cost of living. We constantly required a means to trade well worth and something of the nearly all functional methods to do it can be to connect it along with money. In the past it functioned fairly let me tell you since the funds of which (Bitcoin Hot Electrum) was released was attached to gold. So any book bank needed to have got sufficient gold to repay all the funds is usually provided.
As you will be able to believe it's seriously basic to maltreatment to such power plus absolutely typically the significant reserve banks are not relinquishing to carry out so. As a result they can be publishing money, so to put it easily they are "developing riches" out involving slim surroundings without definitely having that. This technique not just subjects people to threats of monetary failure however it effects in addition to the devaluation connected with income. For that purpose, due to the reality that money should get a whole lot less, whoever is giving something needs to raise the rate of items to help mirror their genuine well worth, this is called soaring living costs. Well the solution they would certainly supply you is that simply by reduction of value in their currency they are assisting the export products.
Time for the preliminary method of equipment mining, you would certainly have to get started with acquiring major quality mining products. Of which would certainly build anyone back around $2, 500. Below is the photo of a great unit useful in creating a new high hash price connected with 14 TH/s. a single TH/s is 1, 1000, 000, 000, 000 hashes every secondly. This device does 14 times the fact that. Gowns a great deal associated with hashing electrical (Bitcoin Hot Electrum) power. A good hash is simply a absolutely lengthy number that this creator produces each time wanting to address the formula. Again, to utilize my lottery sport example, all these types of makers are about Bitcoin Very hot Wallet hashing away your intention is to be the subsequent victor.
After that, your own probability of winning are obtaining appreciably more challenging with even more opponents. Better further complicating this issue is each one time a mathematics concern is definitely fixed; the subsequent issue gets incrementally more difficult to resolve. All of the Bitcoin that will possibly prior to be developed is restricted. That number takes place to help be 21, 000, 000. When we struck that number there can never at any time end up being an additional Bitcoin made yet again. Nonetheless, often the blockchain alone will keep on being to increase since this is made use connected with to confirm each deal or buy. Nevertheless, in often the previous century this specific altered and gold will not be just what is offering worth in order to money however pledges.
In justness, in our globally economic climate this holds true. Nevertheless, that will is not the only factor. By means of releasing clean dollars we could manage in order to repay the economical responsibilities we had, simply placed we make brand-new monetary requirements to pay often the old ones. However that will is not just that, by de-valuing our cash were de-facto de-valuing the financial obligations. That's why our own nations appreciate a increasing cost of living. Throughout inflationary atmospheres it's less complicated to expand due to the fact that economical responsibilities are Bitcoin Very hot Pocket book affordable. It's challenging to save the wide array. Considering sustain the cash in your savings you are in fact losing riches due to often the point that your funds is de-valuing quite quickly.

The Antares launch vehicle will soon make its debut flight, ahead of an important year for Orbital's Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) contract requirements. The test flight of the new launch vehicle will pave the way for a demo mission to the International Space Station (ISS) in May, involving the first use of the Cygnus spacecraft.
The Antares – formerly known as Taurus II – is the first cryogenically powered launch vehicle produced by Orbital Sciences, as well as its largest rocket to date.
The main engine for the first stage of the Antares is the Aerojet produced AJ-26.
These engines are a rebuilt version of Soviet NK-33, originally intended for the massive N-1 launch vehicle that was in direct competition with NASA's Saturn V.
Orbital, Aerojet and NASA recently completed a successful hot fire test of an Antares AJ26 engine at NASA's Stennis Space Center.
The full-duration test was the eleventh AJ26 engine tested at the NASA facility, which provided acceptable results that will allow for the hardware to be shipped to the Wallops launch site in Virgina for integration with the Antares rocket.
The second stage of the Antares comes from another industry veteran, Alliant Techsystems (ATK). The vehicle utilizes a solid upper stage called the Castor 30, which is a derivative of the Athena and Taurus I first stage Castor 120 which is in turn a derivative of the Peacekeeper ICBM first stage.
Antares was scheduled to spread its wings in 2012. However, delays to Antares' schedule were caused by problems related to the completion of construction work on the launch pad's propellant handling and pressurization systems. However, the vehicle's path to launch now appears to be much clearer.
With Antares making its first trip to the launch pad at Wallops at the end of last year, fit checks and system validation testing proceeded without any showstoppers.
This allowed for the new vehicle to receive its lifeblood for the first time, as engineers conducted wet dress rehearsals – known as cold flow testing – the last of which is expected to take place in the coming days.
This will allow for February's key milestone of the hot fire test, with the Antares firing its AJ26s whilst held down at the launch pad. Engineers will review the results of the test over the weeks that follow, with a goal of approving Antares to make its first launch into space.
Expected in March or early April, this test flight mission will task Antares with lofting a Cygnus mass simulator payload that will be heavily instrumented to gather data on the launch environment aboard Antares.
This mission – known as ORB-D – involves an Antares launch carrying a fully operational Cygnus spacecraft that will rendezvous and berth with the International Space Station (ISS) to demonstrate the full capabilities of the cargo resupply system. This mission is similar to SpaceX's COTS 2+ mission with their Falcon 9 and Dragon pairing.
The Cygnus spacecraft consists of an advanced Service Module and a Pressurized Cargo Module (PCM). The Service Module incorporates avionics, power and propulsion systems from Orbital's flight-proven LEOStar and GEOStar satellite product lines.
Orbital note they are working with NASA's ISS program to identify an available time window for Cygnus to arrive at the ISS, based on their busy Visiting Vehicles schedule. However, source information (L2) cites a May 3 NET (No Earlier Than) placeholder for this launch.
Per L2 mission overview documentation, Antares will launch Cygnus into orbit for five to six days of demos during the period of far field phasing. Future missions will only require a standard three days prior to arriving at the ISS.
The Cygnus vehicle will be controlled by Orbital at MCC-Dulles, using an ops team that has experience operating GEO satellites, boosted by an increasing number of flight controllers from NASA MOD, who will bring their ISS experience to the table. Numerous dress rehearsals have taken place at the MCC, as seen in an exclusive video provided to L2.
There will be two key operational phases for the opening part of the mission, the Integrated Launch Operations Phase (ILOPS), for ascent and insertion, handing over to the Phasing Operations Phase (POPS), for the pursuit of the ISS.
For Cygnus to safely arrive in the ISS' back yard, extra caution is required when entering the ISS' "Keep Out Sphere (KOS)".
The techniques required for this key stage of approaching the ISS were seen via Dragon's only hiccup during its COTS 2+ arrival related to the sensors used to allow the spacecraft to "see" the ISS and calculate the distance and closure rates. This system is called the Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR).
Due to stray light and reflections coming off the ISS, the SpaceX team had to recalibrate – successfully – one of the beams to narrow its field of view. The problem did not reoccur during Dragon's CRS-1 mission.
The system has proved its worth by flying on three shuttle missions, previously with Discovery on STS-128 and STS-131, prior to the trip with Atlantis on her – and the Shuttle fleet's – final mission, STS-135.
Its performance with Atlantis during rendezvous was impressive, with the TriDAR-created video of the acquisition of the ISS showing how the system tracked the orbital outpost from 34km out, all the way through to Atlantis' docking.
Neptec noted that the 3D Triangulation and LIDAR Laser Range images were collected simultaneously, utilizing a triangulation subsystem based on OBSS (Orbiter Boom Sensor System) LCS (Laser Camera System) technology.
Once inside the KOS, Cygnus will demonstrate that it can hold and retreat, prior to receiving the go – via polling – to proceed.
With its TriDAR locked on – the tenth demo of the approach at this point – a final go will be given for Cygnus to approach to the capture point.
The reverse sequence will be employed until the vehicle has been repacked, although all the return cargo won't be classed as downmass, because – unlike Dragon – Cygnus won't be returning to the ground or water. Instead, it'll be sent on a path to a destructive re-entry.
The deal to carry out ISS resupply flights – under the $1.9 billion CRS contract – encompasses eight missions through to 2015 carrying approximately 20,000 kg of cargo to the ISS.
It is currently expected Cygnus will make its first supply run proper (Orbital's CRS-1) in the third quarter of 2013, again pending viable slots in NASA's busy VV schedule.

About IOStoken
IOST or the Internet of Services Token is an open-source token that was issued by the decentralized blockchain platform with the same name. The token was created on the basis of the Ethereum network. The founders of the company have rich experience in enterprise management and blockchain projects.
The token stands out from other similar projects in terms of operability, and the focus on high-value industries that include cloud computing, online advertising, and the prediction market. The company often employs aggressive marketing practices and social media activities.
The company behind the facility is headquartered in Singapore. The task of the team was to solve the problems hindering integration and mass adoption of cryptocurrencies such as transaction throughput and scalability. Many tasks set by the company have been successfully solved since then. For instance, the platform has attained one of the highest TPS rates in the industry. Also, the IOST founders try to develop a thriving ecosystem, which creates apps in the gaming sphere, social networking, and the DeFi industry.
IOST platform and technologies
The blockchain's infrastructure was developed with a focus on scalability and security. The engine of the platform is able to process up to 100,000 transactions per second. So when the network calls itself ultra-fast, there is a reason behind it. Absolutely new blockchain architecture was designed by highly qualified experts of the company to acquire such a high-rocketing speed. Some innovative technologies were employed when the architecture was created such as Efficient Distributed Sharding that partitions the network into sub-sectors assigning random nodes to work jointly thus bringing to smoother and faster work of the system. The platform also uses Distributed Randomness Protocol, TransEpoch, Micro State Blocks, and Atomix.
The network is based on a consensus protocol of the future that is called proof of believability (PoB). The validation of nodes is based on behavioral patterns and contributions in the past. Incorporating a "fairness" algorithm with a random distribution of data to various nodes, the system contributes to the development of a fairly decentralized protocol. The consensus algorithm was designed by the team of the platform to deliver security and efficiency of transactions. IOST's Node Program was admitted by blockchain research institutions as one of the best staking programs in the world. It features low risks, high returns, and ease of use.
The IRC-722 NFT standard was released by the company in April 2020. The platform entered the NFT industry partnering with the Japanese blockchain game developer Platinum Egg and started to create the TokenLink NFT marketplace.
In January 2021 Binance joined the IOST blockchain as a partner node, improving and stabilizing the IOST ecosystem. It means that Binance users can stake IOST on the Binance platform and earn IOST rewards.
IOST token
The total supply of the IOST token is 21 billion. 40% of tokens were sold through private sales to institutional investors arranged in January 2018. The company managed to raise over 31 million USD worth of Ethereum. The token with high-end security features is very attractive for investors thanks to its strong performance, extensive functionality of the platform, its entrance to decentralized industry, and the addition of NFT to the facility.
35% tokens are allocated to the IOST Foundation, 12.5% is given to the community, while 10% and 2.5% are allocated to the team and investors correspondingly. Customers can acquire the token on such exchanges as Binance, Bittrex, Livecoin, and others. The token is an ERC-20 token so it can be stored in any wallet that is compatible with Ethereum such as MyEtherWallet, Mist, MetaMask, and many others.
IOST team
The founders of the facility are Jimmy Zhong, Justin Li, Terrence Wang, Sa Wang, Kevin Tan, and Ray Xiao. The founder Jimmy Zhong studied computer science at the University of Minnesota and Princeton University. He also worked as an Uber software engineer. When he was a student, he launched tech startups in the USA and China. The first company established by him was sold for 40 million USD.
Other co-founders also studied computer science including Justin Li who was an investment expert in Goldman Sachs. He also took the position of a data scientist at Mobike.

Good morning! I fussed with this card with many do-overs even though my idea was simple! I used my beloved Stampa-ma-jig to get the blooms and flowers from the Botanical Blooms stamp set just so. My finishing touch was ribbon from the Fairy Tale Ribbon Originals and a Word Window punchout of the sentiment from this set. I used K & Company adhesive rhinestones to give it a little sparkle.
Occasions Mini Catalog begins April 1st!
The simplicity of this card makes it so elegant and pretty. I love the color combination! I haven't opened this set yet, now I just might have to!
i love the way the flowers look. good job!
Simple and elegant - a style a love! Just beautiful, Patti.


Traditional Outsourcing vs ODC: Which Process is Better?
In the last two decades, there has been a significant shift in the way global business is conducted. Gone are the days when companies would conduct all their activities in-house and preferred to have every person under their own payrolls. This was the norm in large corporations driven by a large pool of workers as this gave management complete control over their business process. With the advent of modern technology in terms of state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, IT hardware, automated assembly lines that required less human intervention, that model became counterproductive. The proliferation of small businesses also meant that having people under payrolls proved costly and there was a need for a business model that offers businesses the same flexibility and at the same time ensured a high return on investment. In came two business models, 'outsourcing' and 'offshoring' and changed the business landscape forever. Most people tend to use these term in the same breath and interchangeably but by definition and practice they are polls apart. Outsourcing by definition involves delegating certain tasks or work to a third-party which offers better skills and infrastructure, expedites the process and cuts cost. Offshoring, on the other hand, refers to getting work done in a different country often to leverage the cost advantage. It is possible to outsource work and not offshore it, such as hiring an IT maintenance company from your city instead of having an IT team under your payrolls. Similarly, it is possible to offshore and at the same time not outsource work. An example of this can be giant IT companies having offshore software development center in countries such as India and tapping the vast pool of talent and cutting costs at the same time. Now the big question that arises which is better, traditional outsourcing or offshore development center? Should your business Outsource or Offshore? Find out! Let us take a look at the various pros and cons that both Outsourcing and Offshore Development Centre have.
Outsourcing allows you to free your internal resource from mundane tasks and allows them to focus on the core areas of your business.
Outsourcing offers you access to a better pool of skilled people that improves your business process and creates an innovation based environment.
You fix the budget for every project and pay only for the work done and don't partake in the overhead costs of your service provider.
This model allows you the flexibility of scaling up and down the project flow based on your exact needs.
You exercise minimum control over how your projects are executed as most companies won't assign dedicated resource or dedicated work hours.
Outsourcing is a bad model if you are looking at a long-term project, as in this transaction model most companies don't promise long term commitment.
Since they are working with multiple clients at the same time not signing an NDA can put your proprietary information and privacy at risk.
If you haven't got your choice right you may have a hard time communicating with the team due to linguistic barriers.
Offshore development centers are bound by contractual commitment and thus work as an extension of your team offering you more control.
You would benefit from a dedicated workforce who would work only on your project based on your business' evolving needs.
You would be a part of the talent acquisition process for your project with most ODCs, and this allows you to hire the best available talent for your needs.
With an ODC you would be able to adopt a strategic approach and set long-term business goals something that is impossible with outsourcing.
Though maintaining an offshore development center offers you cost advantage, it is far more costly than outsourcing the job. You may have to pay for the infrastructure and overhead expenditure.
With an offshore development center, you would need to start with long term commitment which often means putting all your eggs in one basket. To sum up, you can clearly see that both traditional outsourcing and maintaining an offshore development center have their own pros and cons and as a business you should make your choice based on specific needs, the scope of your project and duration. A better model has emerged which is termed as offshore outsourcing that offers you the best of both.

The North East Coast offers a great day out, whether visiting solo, as a couple or as a family. No matter your age or interests, there's something for everyone at the Coast.
The popular village of Tynemouth is well known for its long history, which dates back to the Iron Age. Due to its position just north of Hadrian's Wall, it has always held a key strategic position for military forces. Tynemouth Priory and Castle was originally built as a monastery in the 7th century and is said to be the burial place of several ancient Northumbrian kings, making it the perfect family destination to explore the long and fascinating history of the region.
If you're looking for some retail therapy, Tynemouth Market is held in the village's Metro station every weekend while a five minute walk into the village will bring you to the Green Ginger Shopping Arcade; this converted church now houses a number of independent boutiques and cafes.

A panoramic view over Machir Bay on the west coast of Islay from the northern end of the bay, looking south. The wide sandy beach is stretching out in front of us, behind it in the distance the hills and crags around Kilchoman. Rain moving in from the west, I think I had to run to avoid getting wet.

It's safe to introduce solid foods at around 6 months for breastfed and formula-fed babies. When the time is right, start with a single-grain cereal for babies (rice cereal has traditionally been the first food for babies but you can start with any type), and then introduce other foods, such as puréed fruits and vegetables.
Your baby's rapid growth will start to slow down as the first birthday approaches. Expect big changes in the coming months as your baby becomes more mobile.


Network Attached Storage (NAS) connects to a wireless router instead of a desktop or laptop computer. It allows multiple users from multiple computers to access and share the content and files stored on it.
A NAS storage solution enables the quick and simple storage of data files in one convenient location. For businesses NAS storage makes data management so much simpler especially when a team is working on a joint project as documents can be shared via the NAS which can be accesses remotely.
NAS can be configured either as a desktop or rack-mounted system, the type of solution appropriate for an organisation will depend on physical space, budgets and the amount of storage required.

I am trying to migrate most of my apps to a portable model, easier to maintain and move between different machines. Thnderbird can be get here [http://portableapps.com/news/2010-03-30 ... able_3.0.4] and I can easily install lightning on it.
1. Is it possible to install birdiesync extension inside thunderbird profile directory?
2. Can we have a portable version of birdiesync (no need to install)?
I am absolutely new to BidieSync but I like it very much so far. But I agree to Roberto. Thunderbird, Sunbird and Lightning are available as portable application (which is key for me because I use these from my USB HD) but BirdieSync isn't.
Any plans to make it portable?
I am lookiing forward for the portable version.Hope it comes soon.
When shall be able to have a portable version for Key USB or Hard disk.

Vraiment très utile pour les gens nomade comme moi.
Moi j'utilise LiberKey qui aujourd'hui offre plus de possibilité que PortableApps ou FamaKey.

Malaysia Cup
Tevez angers fans after visiting Disneyland despite missing Shanghai Shenhua match with injury
The striker, who sat out Saturday's clash with Changchun Yatai with a reported calf problem, was pictured at the resort on the same day
Shanghai Shenhua striker Carlos Tevez angered local fans after visiting Disneyland despite not featuring for his side with a reported calf injury on the same day.
Hazard drops Chelsea exit hint
Tevez, who was ruled out of his side's trip to Changchun Yatai on Saturday, was spotted by disbelieving fans at the Shanghai tourist attraction as his struggling side battled to a tight 3-2 victory.
Former Manchester United man Tevez has scored just a solitary goal in his first four games since moving to the Chinese Super League on a contract worth a reported £615,000 per week.
An eyewitness snapped pictures of him wearing a LeBron James jersey at Disneyland with friends and family members, including his baby child and wife Vanessa, which were shared on social media.
(Credit: Chinese social media)
The ill-advised visit was greeted with widespread ridicule from Chinese fans on social media, with one person writing sarcastically: "Shenhua have been through a bad patch, he doesn't know it? When every team-mate is working up a sweat, he is chilling out in Disneyland. What a 'professional'."
Another asked: "How can he justify his incredible salary with such an attitude? He doesn't care a jot for the team!"
Some even called for his early exit, with one person writing: "Tevez is always complaining of homesickness. I'm sick of hearing it. It's time for him to leave right now, for the good of both parties."
Shenhua coach Gus Poyet has admitted Tevez is still struggling to adapt to his new life in China and asked fans for patience.

First Minister meets Brian May
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon had the pleasure of meeting Dr Brian May and Anne Brummer, Chief Executive of the Save Me Trust to discuss fox hunting and the Scottish Government's commitment to review the existing legislation on the issue in Scotland.
Scotland has led the way in legislation to protect wildlife and to safeguard animal welfare and recent activity has prompted a closer look at how the Scottish legislation on hunting operates in practice. The review will consider how the Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act has been meeting its aims, 13 years after the legislation was brought into force to control hunting with dogs. The First Minister has also confirmed that any breaches of the Act will be included in the wildlife crime annual report.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said:
It is over a decade since Scotland led the way in the UK in banning the use of dogs to kill foxes and other wild mammals and we are committed to a ban remaining in place.
However, there has been a great deal of debate in Scotland about the effectiveness of the current legislation and that is why in my Programme for Government will review the operation of the Act to determine whether we should take steps to strengthen the current law.
It is important that the legislation meets its intended aims and protects our wild animals, so I will publish our review within the coming months, setting out next steps."

Q: OpenLDAP, SASL and non-cleartext password storage I'm working on a setup where postfix and cyrus-imap do proxy authorization against openldap (my setup is here http://1nw.eu/!cD ). I love this solution, it's a lot more elegant that using saslauthd. But I'm concerned about passwords stored in cleartext, as required by DIGEST-MD5.
I know of the many ways to protect the data stored in openldap (file system encryption, etc...), but if somebody gets a root access, passwords will be disclosed, and I want to prevent that.
My question is: Is there a way to use hashed passwords with sasl and proxy authorization ?

Home Around Town Things To Do Autumn Adventures
Autumn Adventures
by Daisy Willis
Chimneys are sending up fragrant wisps of wood smoke, spirits are astir in the centuries-old historic districts, and all the charm and magic of autumn is in its crisp, mellow prime. Decked in vibrant gold, brown, orange and red, the natural beauty of woodland, farmland and mountain prompts us to savor it while we can. Before we settle in to fatten up and hibernate this year, here are six fall-themed outings to make the most of the fresh fall weather, be it with ghost hunting, apple-picking or surrounding ourselves with breathtaking autumn leaves.
Covered Bridges of the Lehigh Valley
One of the most pleasant and relaxing ways to immerse yourself in both the radiant foliage of autumn and the region's rich local history is on a self-guided tour of the Covered Bridges of the Lehigh Valley. Outlined by Discover Lehigh Valley in a handy map and guide, this adventure will take you from Allentown up through Schnecksville and into Kreidersville from one stately old covered bridge to the next, set off beautifully by bright fall leaves in every hue.
Eastern Pennsylvania's German immigrants brought this style of bridge to the area, where the walls came to act as early billboards for business or religious concerns, and the shady interiors made for discreet trysting spots, hence the nickname "kissing bridges."
Most covered bridges are constructed with the sweeping Burr arch truss, patented by Theodore Burr in 1804, and a webwork of kingpost trusses. Together with the welcoming wingwalls, these bridges form a vision of rustic nostalgia, but they also bear histories connected to and named for local landowners, businesses or neighboring families. For example, the first stop on the tour, Bogert's Bridge in Allentown's Lehigh Parkway, was named for the log cabin-dwelling Bogert family who settled there in the mid-1700s.
As you take an afternoon to wend your way along the 50-mile tour, you'll find plenty of spots on the way for a picnic, and the artist in you may want to bring a sketchpad, paints or a camera to capture the sparkling Jordan Creek, red-walled bridges and brilliant autumn leaves.

Historic Haunts of Bethlehem Ghost Tour
Since the Moravians founded the city almost 300 years ago, Bethlehem has built a rich history still echoing through time in the form of the lovely old architecture of its historic district. Some say there are eerier echoes of times-past lingering in the city's old structures, however, and on the Moravian Book Shop's Historic Haunts of Bethlehem Ghost Tour you can judge for yourself and see if these tales send a shiver along your spine.
The tour begins in the oldest continuously-run bookstore in the country and ventures through 12 haunted hot spots, including a candlelit visit to a shadowy graveyard. Destinations are sure to include the Sun Inn at the top of Main Street, which has stood since 1758 and seen many Revolutionary-era leaders cross its threshold, and of course the Hotel Bethlehem, where spooky sights and occurrences are common. Ghosts at the Hotel Bethlehem are so intrinsic to the place, there's even a room on the ninth floor that should only be reserved by the truly intrepid!
You can book a private tour for almost any time to learn all about this and many more historic haunts of Bethlehem, or join one of the scheduled tours starting around 6 p.m. several nights a week. On Halloween night and November 1, the Moravian Book Shop embarks on rare midnight tours, sure to be charged with paranormal presence!

Strawberry Acres' Evening Hayride
Not all fall fun has to strike fear into your heart. If you'd prefer a lazy ride through a peach orchard bedecked with flame-orange leaves, book a trip to Coplay's Strawberry Acres this season. Since 1820 this farm has been in continuous operation and offers pick-your-own fruit throughout the growing seasons, from cherries and strawberries to peaches and pears. At this time of year their pumpkin patch can provide you with the perfect jack o' lantern for the front porch.
You'll want to get a large group together for the Evening Hayride—maybe the whole family or office. The 45-minute ride in an open-air bus or in a wagon pulled by a tractor seats at least 30 people. After this excursion under the stars, you'll return to gather around a blazing campfire, and provided with apple cider and marshmallows for toasting.
These tours begin after closing time, so if you want time to peruse the produce, get there a little earlier. Several varieties of apples are ripening on the trees this time of year, and you'll find the experience light-years beyond supermarket foraging. What they don't grow here at Strawberry Acres is provided in a farm market stocked from other local farms. There's also a bakery on the premises converting all this natural goodness into pies, dumplings, muffins and more. Stop for some hot soup and soft pretzels before your hayride for some stick-to-your-ribs sustenance.
If you do want a scare after all, a Haunted Halloween Hayride is offered on October 25, with frights and phantasms lurking in the orchard.

Autumn Leaf Train Excursions
The Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway is a perfect way to see miles and miles of gorgeous fall scenery on a very special ride taking you outside the ordinary. On their Autumn Leaf Train Excursions, the route goes from the Reading & Northern Railroad Corporate Headquarters in Port Clinton up to Jim Thorpe, behind either a diesel or steam-powered engine.
After taking in the splendor of autumn's display on a course over bridges, through tunnels and along rivers, passengers have a few hours to experience Jim Thorpe before re-boarding to head back south. The historic town of Jim Thorpe is dazzling in autumn, and they know it. Your train ride will coincide with October's Fall Foliage Weekends in Jim Thorpe, when the town celebrates with food and art vendors, free music events and seasonal specials at shops and restaurants.
There couldn't be a better time to ride the pretty blue vintage Steam Locomotive No. 425 through Pennsylvania's mountains. The 1920s passenger coaches are romantically vintage, with windows you can open to let in the fresh fall air. Check out the website for diesel and steam train dates.

Gaggles of Ghosts and Ghouls
Your youngsters will love a chance to explore nature on a crisp fall night at Peace Valley Nature Center in Doylestown. On October 24 they offer Gaggles of Ghosts and Ghouls, a special guided walk through spookified trails to learn more about the creepy animals associated with Halloween. Groups venture into the rustling woods on this educational adventure to find a series of educators poised to present on the myths and realities of such critters as cats, bats, spiders and snakes.
All year round, Peace Valley's 14 miles of nature trails through woods and meadows along Lake Galena offer the experience of a rich variety of life, from more than 250 species of bird to the deer, groundhogs and muskrats that make their homes near the lake. A special wildlife area offers a chance to sight osprey, herons, turtles and frogs. Whether it's to bask in the calming effects of nature or get a hair-raising Halloween lesson, Peace Valley makes a great destination.
Due to the length of the trail, rather than the fright factor, kids under seven aren't recommended for this excursion, but older kids will be up to the trek and enjoy returning to the campfire circle for roasted marshmallows afterward.
$6, $5 Members | 6:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. | Peace Valley Nature Center | 170 N. Chapman Rd., Doylestown | 215.345.7860 | peacevalleynaturecenter.org
Haunted Parkway
Another scary escapade that will appeal to kids and adults alike is Whitehall Township's annual Haunted Parkway, running every weekend in October as well as November 1. Brace yourself for an intense experience; from your seat in a hay wagon you'll witness strange, chilling scenes set amid the ruins of the abandoned cement factory, and be set upon by hideous creatures and murderous ghouls.
Loud and frightful, this ride isn't for the faint of heart, but it does raise money for a good cause. This hugely popular haunted hayride through the Whitehall Parkway Recreational Area is the Whitehall Fire Department's largest annual fundraiser and has helped the department afford life-saving resources. The display is organized and run by firefighters and community volunteers and includes concessions, particularly nice when the wait gets long on a Saturday night.
Adults $10, Kids $7 | Dark-11 p.m. | Whitehall Parkway Recreational Area | S. Church St., Whitehall | 610.437.5524

One of the finest poets and artists I ever had the honor to know. I wish I had had the opportunity to meet him in person. His gentle spirit and talents were truly a gift! He will be greatly missed.
Norman C. Mallory, 67, died Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at City of Hope Helford Hospital in Duarte, California, from complications following cancer surgery in January. Born July 16, 1945 in Salem, Oregon, Norman was an only child and spent his youth in the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and Northern California. He graduated from high school in Chico, California and earned his MA in English from California State University Chico; he also did work toward a PhD in English at the University of Nevada Reno, concentrating on the works of James Joyce and William Butler Yeats. While doing his graduate work, Norman taught freshman English at both of the above mentioned universities. He taught for the Ventura County Community College District for nearly 30 years in the areas of Humanities, Art, Film, Journalism, and all levels of English. He was first hired to teach full-time at Moorpark College in the early 1970s and transferred to Ventura College in 1984 where he retired from teaching in July of 2000. He was a resident of Ventura County for almost 30 years.
Throughout his life Norman considered himself an artist, above all. After concluding his teaching career, he concentrated on his art full-time for the remainder of his life. He felt a special kinship with drawing, continuously practicing this skill, as he considered it fundamental to his work. He was a visual artist and illustrator, primarily a painter, working in watercolor, oil, acrylic, and egg tempera. Norman was a very active member of the Flickr website, posting there more than 5000 images of his work since joining in 2007. His work can be viewed there. He was a well-respected artist and a mentor for many young people who requested assistance and needed encouragement. He was known for his generosity in assisting other artists. His illustrations have appeared in many national and international periodicals such as Le Monde and der Freitag. He was also a published poet and essay writer, a musician, playing the guitar and mandolin, and a singer. He played in numerous acoustic bands and especially enjoyed performing gospel, bluegrass, old time, and country music. He was made an Honorary Lifetime Member of the "Old Time, Country, Bluegrass, Gospel Music Association."
Norman was a voracious reader of books; his taste was amazingly broad from science fiction, philosophy, biography, and history, to art, literary criticism, politics, and religion. A lover of libraries since the age of 9 when he discovered the Anchorage Public Library while living in Alaska, Norman went so far as to marry his own librarian, Mary LaBarge, a reference librarian at Moorpark College. Their relationship began in 1984 and she was by his side at his death.
