1: It's all about the kit.
1a: your transceiver should be the first thing you put on after leaving the shower.
2: tanlines should be restricted to panda eyes. Deliberately skiing in t-shirts in an effort to get a better tan should be discouraged.
4: Don't suffer 'kit confusion' Dress appropriately for your skiing and/or image : If you're a park-rat, then wear the appropriate baggy kit. If you're carving down the piste, then look suitably streamlined. Also, refer to rule 22.
7: Don't be a tw@. If you insist on being a tw@, at least be a funny tw@ : we're all out there to enjoy ourselves.
8: keep your kit well maintained, clean and shiny. If it's too knackered to be clean and shiny, then apply rule 3. Exceptions to this are where your application of rule 4 is towards stinky telehippy or the core duct-tape dude. Even so, rule 3 should be applied anyway.
9: Runs should be measured by quality and not quantity. It doesn't matter if you skied that black 25 times, one set of fresh-tracks out of sight of the piste is immediately worth more.
10a :If you smoke, tin your butts. Fag ends take between 5 and 25 years to break down.
12: If you've chosen to go out in a blizzard/whiteout/howling gale then you're officially 'rock hard'. If you're not out in those conditions rule 5 applies.
13: Drink Espresso at the mountain cafe, it may be accompanied by some water or other drink. if espresso is too strong for you, then rule 5 applies.
14: You shall not ski with headphones. Skiing and boarding is about getting outside and into the elements and you don't need to be listening to skrillex/abba/metallic/mozart See Rule 5 and just ski/board. Exceptions can be made to parkratz as headphone can be considered relevant to rule 4.
15: Don't exaggerate incidents: crashes are only worth announcing in the bar if one or all involved required a blood wagon or helicopter evacuation. Anything less requires the application of rule 5.
18: Anyone found following or enforcing the rules so blindly that they spoil it for others, taking them too seriously or ignoring the spirit of the rules should refer to rule 7.
20: wearing a helmet cam makes you look like a telly-tubby with it's aerial poking out it's head. Ensure your ability is sufficient to override that look.
24: Lifts open and close for a reason, it is your duty to ensure you arrive as near to lift opening as possible and not return home until at least one lift has officially closed (not due to mechanical failure). For clarification see Rule 5.
26: when you go to any on-slope bar/restaurant, leave your skis somewhere sensible. If you are unable to do this, self-ban yourself from all said locations.
26a: When leaving skis or boards, remember you are not attempting to recreate the Domino Toppling world record. Place your skis or boards in a manner that is not going to result in a large row of skis and boards crashing to the ground.
27: Chairlifts are to be used for getting you up the mountain. If you want to go on a swing, go to a park with the other children.
28: Uplifts (Charlifts, Gondolas, chairlifts and cablecars) are self-describing. They are for getting you UP the mountain. If you find yourself using one to come down when you're not in a position to apply rule 15 then you SHOULD apply rule 5.
29: The run-off from the top of a chair-lift is designed to allow you to leave the area. It is not designed as a chatting/kit and boot faffing zone.
30: If a lift is deserted, and you decide you absolutely, totally must get on THAT chair which is already occupied by a family and/or small children, you're not allowed to complain if a small child throws up on you. Either way, rule 5.
34: You're not taking lessons. The correct term is clinic or skiing with your coach.
35: Warranty claims beginning with "I was just skiing along...." are the mark of the fraud and scoundrel. If you are going to break anything ensure it was at least done as a result of being rad or in conjunction with rule15.
36: When sat outside a bar (and observing rule 13 of course), you must always be the last to put jacket on or suggest going inside when it starts getting cold. Otherwise rule 5 applies. NB losing parts of your anatomy through frostbite and stupidity do not qualify for rule 15. In those cases, rule 7 applies.
37: Keep up with your friends. If one of you skis it, then all other membes of the group are obliged to, otherwise, Rule 5. However, rule 7 can apply if someone deliberately takes a line which will knowingly bring rule 15 into effect.
feef, FYI, the groms are mainly rockin' the skinny look this year, or the parkratz are super baggy with extra tall-tee.
Large skull-candy cans are de-regeure.
10a: If you smoke, tin your butts. Fag ends take between 5 and 25 years to break down.
20. Remove your peeps when in the bar afterwards, and refer to rule 15.
TBH I'm suprised half of this forum isn't in uproar and ranting about #7.
And that (#) isn't a bloody hashtag!
Rule 25: Lifts open and close for a reason, it is your duty to ensure you arrive as near to lift opening as possible and not return home until at least one lift has officially closed (not due to mechanical failure). For clarification see Rule 5.
Think rule 22 could use a link to the Gaper Spirit Animal on TGR?
Rule 26: you must find an Apres environment that allows you bragging rights in terms of cost, either the cheapest or most expensive, never the average.
Rule 26: when you go to any on-slope bar/restaurant, leave your skis somewhere sensible. If you are unable to do this, self-ban yourself from all said locations.
Rule 26a: When leaving skis or boards, remember you are not attempting to recreate the Domino Toppling world record, please place your skis or boards in a manner that is not going to result in a large row of skis and boards crashing to the ground.
Rule 27: Chairlifts are to be used for getting you up the mountain. If you want to go on a swing, go to a park with the other children.
28. The run-off from the top of a chair-lift is designed to allow you to leave the area. It is not designed as a chatting/kit and boot faffing zone.
Rule 30 - If a woman asks a man to carry her skis, she owes him a whoopee!.
I've added those, but reworded them slightly to make them more fitting with the spirit of the rules.
There needs to be a modifier to rule 8 if the look you are affecting under rule 4 is say the stinky telehippy or the core duct-tape dude.
Bases are for scraping up and edges are for bashing. Never show anything less than casual pride in damage dealt to your skis. If you are not racing, hotboxing and excessive attention to sharpening and angles are the same as a man purchasing exfoliant. Wax is permitted but no more than once every 7 skiing days. If in doubt see rule 5.
Lessons are verboten. The correct term is clinic or skiing with your coach.
Warranty claims beginning with "I was just skiing along...." are the mark of the fraud and scoundrel. If you are going to break anything ensure it was at least done as a result of being rad or in conjunction with rule 15.
Rule 35: If sat outside bar and the sun goes in, you must always be the last to put jacket on or suggest going inside. Otherwise . . . rule 5 applies. Again.
Rule 36: Peer pressure applies at all times. If one of you skis it, then all other membes of the group are obliged to. Death before dishonour.
All telemark skiing must be performed wearing appropriate catagory 3 (EU rated 7.f. ) facial hair.
feef, I think that 34a should be included for clarity, and that the proposed 34d (perheps renamed double-d for the ladies in question) should be allowed to stand... pertly... in heels... near Courchevel.
34e: male seasonnaires under 22 have to have trousers with a crotch near their knees and a waistband not much higher. Comedy boxers virtually de rigeur. Cool, no ?
I still think it all comes under Rule 4. Dress appropriately for your skiing and/or image.
It can be too detailed.. Brits are great at looking for details and clarification.. the rules should impart the spirit, and spirit alone.

The sunny side up egg. So simple, yet sometimes so difficult to make. Well everyone, here's what you do. Heat your pan on medium heat and drizzle the skillet with cooking oil, or spray with non-stick spray. Crack an egg on the side of the pan and delicately drop the egg on top of the pan. Let it set! If making multiple eggs, drop 'em all! Let the eggs cook without scrambling or shaking the pan until the eggs firm up and stop running. At this point, if you move the skillet, the egg(s) should slide right off the pan and onto your plate!
For a more filling and INCREDIBLY healthy meal, add a half avocado and some berries!
Growing up, Friday night was Pizza Night and I lived for weekends full of waffles and pancakes. Well, when I went gluten-free I had to say bye to those childhood favorites. At the time, GF pizza just wasn't the same and GF pancakes and waffles didn't exist! Now, there are some pretty good store-bought brands (pictured above), and many companies have mastered the art of the perfect gluten-free pancake, waffle, and pizza mixes.
Pour Cup4Cup batter into a mixing bowl, and add egg, vanilla, and coconut milk. In a separate bowl, melt butter completely. Add butter to the mixing bowl and mix all ingredients. The batter will be thick, so if you don't want your waffles to be super thick, simply add more coconut milk!
Pour batter into waffle maker. Let it cook for timed period, flip, and let cook again. Wah-lah!
** NOTE ** although I used dairy-free milk and butter, the waffles were NOT dairy-free, as milk products are included in the Cup4Cup flour.
Be creative and top your waffles with toppings of your choosing! I went with organic maple syrup, banana, strawberries, and Justin's Maple Almond Butter. Delicious!
I love coconut. Coconut flakes, coconut milk, coconut ICE CREAM- you name it, I love it. So when I found a recipe for gluten-free pancakes made with coconut flour, I had to whip them up!
In one bowl, first beat eggs and then add Vegetable Oil and Coconut Milk. Mix together.
In a separate bowl, combine Coconut Flour, Sugar, Salt, Baking Powder, and mix.
Pour dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients, and mix until totally smooth and the two mixes are combined.
Heat pan on low-medium heat, and spray with olive oil or an alternative non-stick.
Pour batter onto pan. **NOTE** I found that the pancakes cooked super fast, and were more difficult to flip than pancakes I've made in the past using other flour, so make sure your pancakes are SMALL! 2-3 inch diameter, MAX.
Let cook for about 1 minute or until you see the top of the pancake batter start to firm. Flip and do the same on the other side.
Like macarons, the pancakes may have a mushier consistency. At first I was concerned this was a sign that the pancake was undercooked. But then I remembered all of the millions of macarons I've eaten, and noticed that the pancake consistency resembled that of a macaron.
Lastly, top with add-ons of your choosing! I opted for banana, dairy-free chocolate chips, and almond butter!!
As someone who doesn't eat gluten, I find it tricky to successfully make a dessert. I can't tell you how many times I've stared down a bowl of cookie dough or cake batter before placing it in the oven and imparting a look that says "you better work" only to be met with crumbly cookies or a sunken cake after the timer goes off.
I'm constantly developing new recipes, and failures do happen, but each failure is a learning experience. These cookie bars are a recipe I've been tweaking over the past few weeks and I have to say – there are few ways to articulate through words the simple joy I felt when the recipe actually worked and tasted amazing. Huge props to Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose Baking Flour for being awesome. And pro tip: always add ice cream.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line an 8×11 baking pan with parchment paper, or spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, espresso powder, salt, and coconut sugar.
In a separate, small bowl, combine eggs and vanilla.
Add melted Earth Balance to eggs and vanilla and whisk together quickly.
Add chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, and cooked bacon, and mix together.
Pour dough into lined 8×11 baking pan.
Using a rubber spatula, spread dough evenly across pan.
Place in oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
Remove pan from oven and let cool for two minutes.
Transfer cookie bars to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
Avocado toast was without a doubt the biggest food trend of 2015. And as the breakfast menu item skyrocketed in popularity, and became dare I say, an epidemic, so did gluten-free avocado toast. I mean, us gluten-free folk deserve to indulge, too, right?!
Well, why stop with avocado toast. Although we are 'NOBREAD,' we love great gluten-free bread, and love topping our GF goodness with different spreads and toppings!
Fruit of your choosing, too!
Toast your gluten-free bread until lightly brown.
That's it. You're done! Just like that, you have a BEAUTIFUL, filling breakfast or snack!
It's 9AM on Christmas Eve, and I'm in the mood to cook. The best part? My family is home, so finally I have people to cook for! Growing up, my siblings and I started every morning with pancakes, so today is the perfect morning to test out my new gluten-free pancake mix and recipe!
Pour Pamela's package into a large mixing bowl. Add in Water, Egg, and Vegetable Oil, and mix until combined. Add in Chocolate Chips.
Heat pan on Medium, and spray with olive oil. Pour batter onto pan — batter makes 4 pancakes!
Let cook until batter firms (~60-90 seconds) and flip once. Cook second side ~30-60 seconds.
Top pancakes with cinnamon, powdered sugar, and excess chocolate chips, and finish with an amount of maple syrup of your choosing.
And just like that, you have a hearty, tasty, and filling NOBREAD-approved breakfast!
Check out more of Pamela's gluten-free products here!
I'm kind of addicted to chocolate. Soft baked chocolate chip cookies were my childhood vice, and since going gluten-free, I'm glad to report that nothing has changed. Well, as many of you are aware, it's tough to find gluten-free cookies that taste as delicious as gluten-filled cookies. Oh, and if you're looking for gluten-free AND vegan cookies, forget about it! Well, I'm happy to report that I, if I do say so myself, have mastered the ultimate gluten-free and vegan chocolate chip cookie. What's my secret, you ask? Coconut!
Melt your coconut oil and mix with brown sugar in a large bowl.
Add in SILK Coconut Milk and stir until the 3 are as blended as possible.
In a separate bowl, combine Bob's Gluten-Free Flour, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Salt, and Vanilla.
Pour liquid mix of coconut oil, brown sugar, and SILK Coconut Milk into the bowl containing flour etc.
Add Enjoy Life Chocolate Chip morsels and mix again!
With your combined mix, make little balls with the dough and place on an un-greased cookie sheet. Note: The balls will flatten so err on the side of making smaller cookies.
Cook for 9 minutes at 350. Take out and let cool for 5-7 minutes.
Want to make a Gluten-Free Cookie Sandwich??
Spread on back side of one cookie. Take a second cookie and sandwich the two together!
These Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies are easy to make, healthy (enough), and delicious! All they take are a few GF ingredients, a little bit of time, and a lot of love!

Dieters could save lives with their bras
Jon Coles
The 'Bra Bank': Members have amassed 500
CEREDIGION WEIGHT WATCHERS who attend meetings run by Double Diamond Weight Watchers Leader Eleri Retallick in Aberaeron, Llandysul, Lampeter and Cardigan have shed an amazing 256 stones between them so far in 2016.
Researchers estimate that it may be possible to prevent as many as 9 out of every 100 cancer cases (9%) by changing our diets. Research also suggests that about 5 out of 100 cancers (5%) could be avoided by maintaining a healthy body weight.
As the weight loss has been so dramatic on the new Smart Points Plan introduced in January, the Weight Watchers members in Ceredigion are shrinking inside their clothesespecially their bras.
It was then decided that it would be an idea to collect bras that no longer fitted for a good cause. Over the last few weeks members have been donating unwanted bras and to date have amassed an amazing 500 bras.
Eleri Retallick said: "My home is being inundated with bras, but having had the Bra Bank delivered by 'Against Breast Cancer' they are now going to a good cause."
For every tonne of bras collected, Against Breast Cancer receives £700 to fund research to improve detection and increase survival after breast cancer diagnosis.
Eleri added: "Furthermore, those that are in good condition get whisked away to start a new life on the other side of the world in Africa where bras remain too expensive to produce locally. I am very proud of all my WeightWatchers members who have helped to fund some research by losing weight – that could ultimately save lives."

Awards to dye for
Domestic abuse victims in Wales to be given more time to report assaults
DOMESTIC abuse victims in Wales and England to be given more time to report assaults.
New measures targeted directly at keeping women and girls safer will be added to the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill last week (Jan 4) the UK Government has announced.
Under the changes, victims of domestic abuse will be allowed more time to report incidents of common assault or battery against them. Currently, prosecutions must commence within six months of the offence.
Instead, this requirement will be moved to six months from the date the incident is formally reported to the police – with an overall time limit of two years from the offence to bring a prosecution.Domestic abuse is often reported late relative to other crimes; so this will ensure victims have enough time to seek justice and that perpetrators answer for their actions.
The UK Government says that today's announcement builds on measures already in the Bill to better protect women such as ending the halfway release of offenders sentenced between four and seven years in prison for serious sexual offences – forcing them to spend two-thirds of their time in prison.
In December, the legislation was amended to make clear that a new legal duty requiring public bodies to work together to tackle serious violence can also include domestic abuse and sexual offences.
It means that these crimes should be taken as seriously as knife crime and homicide, with police, government, and health bodies required to collaborate locally, so that they can develop more holistic strategies to protect people from harm, including through early intervention.
Home Secretary, Priti Patel, said: "My commitment to making our homes, streets and communities safer for women and girls is clear."
"Every department in government is working to address and tackle all issues relating to violence against women and girls."
"The Government has a focussed strategy, dedicated to providing essential support for survivors, the prevention of crimes against women and girls and bringing perpetrators to justice with the full force of the law."
"Our actions include the new Domestic Abuse Act, with important changes to our laws; a newly created national police lead responsible solely on violence against women and girls, and millions of pounds have been invested in direct safety measures through the Safer Streets Fund."
"These are all important public confidence measures and changes to ensure the safety of women and girls in public spaces."
The UK Government has also said that taking non-consensual photographs or video recordings of breastfeeding mothers will be made a specific offence punishable by up to two years in prison.
It covers situations where the motive is to obtain sexual gratification, or to cause humiliation, distress or alarm.
Similar legislation introduced by the UK Government in 2019 that criminalised "up skirting" has led to more than 30 prosecutions since it became law.
Vandalised church passes fundraising target
The inside of the Church was also subjected to vandalism
A FUNDRAISER to rebuild a vandalised church met its goal of £20k within three days.
Eglwys y Grog, which is situated near the cliffs at Mwnt. It is a well known landmark, and is a favourite among photographers.
Clive Davies, a local County Councillor, claims he is "totally blown away" with the donations.
He said the church was targeted on 2 December, and again on 20 December, in "a pointless saddening act."
"There was nothing of value in the church and it was a senseless act. There was no money there, just a small little church," he added.
"The church members were getting a lot of requests to donate money and they contacted me to do something coordinated online so I set up a JustGiving page for them.
"It's been a global response really, three thousand pounds came in overnight. There were messages of support from America, and there was a couple from Australia as well,
"There are a lot of good people out there and it is an amazing start to 2022 for us."
When the campaign was launched on January 1st, a £20,000 goal was set.
The leaded windows of the church were smashed in with rocks
The inside of the church, as well as the leaded church windows and gated entrance, were all damaged.
Mr Davies, who is also a local councillor, claims to have long-standing family ties to the church, which includes plaques honouring his great-grandparents on either side of the altar.
"The local community has been amazing, supporting it and the power of social media made in tenfold," he said.
"It was like a snowball effect really, local businesses have offered not only financial support but will be part of the restoration work needed now."
"I'll be meeting with the church members and the vicar and we'll start discussing what needs doing, but also we're going to have to look at safety for the future and what could we do in terms of security," he added.
He stated that it was critical for the church to remain open while staying safe.
£250 boost to all Ceredigion food banks
Carli Newell
PLAID CYMRU Councillors from Ceredigion will donate £250 to each food bank in the county to alleviate pressures over the Christmas period.
The issue of food banks continues on a daily basis in most towns in Wales due to lack of funds and benefits being cut.
Individuals and families are forced to use food banks to make sure they have food for their children and families.
A spokesperson for the Councillors said: "Ceredigion County Council's Plaid Cymru Group of Councilors is delighted to announce their decision again this year to donate £250.00 each to every food bank in Ceredigion.
"Food banks in Aberystwyth, Cardigan, Aberaeron, Llandysul, Lampeter will benefit from this over Christmas.
"Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."

The first was Geoff Crambie's, Failure to Freeman. Like Geoff, I too failed my scholarship and again like Geoff, went to Primet, albeit four years earlier in 1947. What first struck about Geoff 's article was that the barbaric initiation ceremony, sticking needles (benching) in newbies (boys only) backsides had returned with a vengeance. Unlike Geoff, I survived my first day without my posterior being punctured, but a couple of days later another newbie had to be rushed to hospital with blood poisoning. I am pleased to report that he recovered, but his parents caused such a fuss that this horrible and dangerous practice was severely clamped down on.
Going from the close confines of Lord Street School with its classrooms set around a central hall, Primet with its (reputed) eighth of mile long main corridor, two quadrangles, wings, and second story central section seemed huge and my initial fear was that I might get lost. (By the way, pictures on Google Earth show that its footprint is even bigger today.)
After assembly on the first morning, we newbies, nerves as taut as piano wires as we wondered what was coming next, were lined up in the hall. Eventually a teacher walked down the line. As he tapped each one of us on the shoulder, he muttered, either Malham, Haworth, Townley, or Whalley. We were then told to remember the name we had been given, mine was Townley, as this was the house we were assigned to. Next, we were put into our respective year groups, which if I remember correctly, were 1A, 1B and 1R, and then marched off to the classrooms.
The Headmaster was Mr Bowker, and the teachers were, Mr. McGinn (History). Mr. Richardson? Miss Ashton, Art. Mr. Peel, Geography. Mr. Dowson, Science/Surveying and Mensuration. Miss Edmondson, Maths. Mr Bannister, English. Mr. Brindle, Biology. Miss Martindale, Domestic Science. Mr. Proctor, PT. Mr. Sharples, Woodwork, and Miss Blezzard.
David with the articles from Northern Life that brought back these memories
There were two teachers you had to keep on the right side of. The first was Mr Sharples who was quick to use his strap should you misbehave, the second was Miss Blezzard. It was particularly difficult with the latter because she had a very short fuse. It was not unknown for her to hurl your exercise book across the classroom, but her usual punishment was to deprive you of your playtimes by keeping you in to write lines. So that she could monitor the situation, your name and the number of lines given would be added to an already lengthy list on the blackboard immediately behind her chair. Each day, after she had scrupulously checked the number of lines you were were claiming to have written was correct, (and you had not rigged up a multi pen speed writing gizmo) you deducted the amount from the figure on the board.
I once made the mistake of thinking I could beat the system by chalking in a lower number. When I entered her classroom the following playtime, all she did was turn to the blackboard and point at my name. To my dismay, the number of lines I still had to write had increased fourfold!
I have no regrets about not passing the scholarship. The reading, riting and rithmatic skills patiently drummed into me by the teachers stood me in good stead for the rest of my life and in hindsight I am sure that I would have struggled at the Grammar School particularity with subjects like Latin.
As to rising Phoenix like from the ashes of failure like Geoff, unless you count being made Captain of Townley house and winning a Marksman badge while in the Army, then I have no claim to fame.
Which leads me nicely to the second article, The Forgotten Killer of Fulwood Barracks.
I COULD SEE IT WERE FLOATING JUST ABOVE THE GROUND. THEN IT DISAPPEARED. SCARED THE ******* PANTS OFF ME!
Two days after my 18th birthday, I received a letter summoning me to attend a government facility at Penwortham where for three hours I suffered the indignities of a medical to see if I was fit enough to serve Queen and Country. All the boxes must have been ticked, (either that or they were desperate) and in October, another letter arrived instructing me, under a threat of prosecution if I failed to comply, to report to Fulwood Barracks in Preston.
I had only ever passed through Preston station on my way to family holidays in Blackpool so I thought this would be an ideal opportunity to have a look around the town and have a bite to eat before I presented myself at the barracks. The Army however, had other ideas. It may have changed, but then Preston station had two platforms, one for westbound trains, the other for eastbound. To reach the main concourse from the westbound side a bridge spanned the rail lines and this is where my plans went astray. Standing at the foot of the steps on the eastbound side were two uniformed figures. As I neared them the taller of the two blocked my path. Two beady eyes ranged over me and my suitcase. "Fulwood?" he snapped. I nodded. "Get in the truck at the entrance and wait." " B-b-but," I stammered, "I thought before I went to the barracks, I would have a look round the town first." "Thought you would have a look round town did you eh?" he sneered. "Well let me tell you son, you're not on your daddy's yacht now, you are in the Army and for the next two years we'll be doing your thinking for you!"
Passing Out Parade at Fulwood taken in the early 50s. Note the shiny toecaps and razor sharp creases on the trousers
My home for the next 12 weeks was opened in 1842 and was the last and largest of a chain of barracks built in the North West in the wake of the Chartist riots of the 1830s. The only concession it had made to the 20th century was installing electric lighting. Barrack rooms still had open fires and the washrooms and latrines were in a separate building a few yards from the barrack block.
At first Army life took a bit of getting used to but once you settled into the routine, the weeks flew by and before we knew it we were preparing for our passing out parade.
Although it was well past midnight, the barrack room was still buzzing with activity as uniforms were pressed, webbing blancoed, brasses burnished, and boot toecaps polished (bulled) to a mirror finish. Suddenly the door burst open and an ashen face Lance Corporal rushed in. Recognising him as one the cooks. I shouted, "Wrong block Corporal. Try next door." "I know, I know, but I've just seen a ghost." he blurted. "I were outside having a fag when I saw this figure coming towards me. At first I thought it were Duty Officer on his rounds, but when it got nearer, I could see it were like floating just above the ground. Then it disappeared. Scared the ****** pants off me." Despite being told that all he had seen was probably someone dashing to the loo," he remained unconvinced and left vehemently insisting that he had a seen a phantom figure.
The passing out parade, and a couple of weeks furlough before leaving Fulwood to join the regiment in Germany made the incident fade into obscurity… that is until I opened my copy of Northern Life.

We offer top-of-the-range historical tours centred on the Cathars of the Languedoc, all conducted in English, on location in the Pays Cathare "Cathar Country" in Southern France. The Cathar movement and the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars were two of the most important events in European history - with many, often surprising, world-wide resonances even today, eight centuries later.
Our tours cover historical information in much greater breadth and depth than any other tour, and are founded on primary historical sources. Tours include guided visits to "Cathar Castles" and other Cathar related sites, informal talks on Catharism, Cathar beliefs and practices, the concept of heresy, Medieval warfare and the Albigensian Crusade, along with the history of the "Pays Cathare" - Cathar Country. Talks also cover the ancient culture of the area including the role of the medieval Counts of Toulouse and the medieval Inquisition. You can also learn about the local language, Occitan, the first post-classical literary language of Europe - the language of the troubadours.
We emphatically do not offer the standard tourist experience, so there are no large groups, no standard scripts, no waffle or pseudo-history, no cutting corners, and no evasion of penetrating questions.
Information provided includes historical and cultural background, illustrations, maps and timelines - even an introduction to the esoteric world of Gnostic Dualism. You will learn some medieval essentials: how to spot a medieval Cathar, how to besiege a Medieval Castle, and how to burn a heretic. Escorted visits include trips to key historic locations such as Carcassonne and Montsegur. While we endeavor to ensure strict historical accuracy of the information provided, we appreciate that this is a vacation in the South of France, rather than a university course. - so no one will mind if you decide to spend some of your holiday sitting in the Languedoc sun and drinking some of the famous Languedoc wines.

Jimmy Saddler-McQueen RAS
Jimmy Saddler-McQueen went undrafted for the NFL out of Texas A&M-Kingsville in 2010.
He had a recorded height of 6033 that season, recorded as XYYZ where X is feet, YY is inches, and Z is eighths of an inch. That correlates to 6 feet, 3 and 3/8 of an inch or 75.375 inches, or 191.45250000000001 centimeters. This correlates to a 6.52 score out of 10.0.
At his pro day, he recorded a 40 yard dash of 5.07 seconds. This correlates to a 6.44 score out of 10.0.
The time traveled between the 20 and 40 yard lines is known as the Flying Twenty. As the distance is also known, we can calculate the player's speed over that distance. The time he traveled the last twenty yards at his pro day was 2.14 seconds. Over 20 yards, we can calculate his speed in yards per second to 9.35. Taking into account the distance in feet (60 feet), we can calculate his speed in feet per second to 28.04. Breaking it down further, we can calculate his speed in inches per second to 336.45. Knowing the feet per second of 28.04, we can calculate the approximate miles per hour by multiplying that value by 0.681818 to give us a calculated MPH of 19.1 in the last 20 yards of his run.
At his pro day, he recorded a 20 yard split of 2.93 seconds. This correlates to a 6.9 score out of 10.0.
We can calculate the speed traveled over the second ten yards of the 40 yard dash easily, as the distance and time are both known. The time he traveled the second ten yards at his pro day was 1.2 seconds. Over 10 yards, we can calculate his speed in yards per second to 8.33. Taking into account the distance in feet (30 feet), we can calculate his speed in feet per second to 25.0. Breaking it down further, we can calculate his speed in inches per second to 300.0. Knowing the feet per second of 25.0, we can calculate the approximate miles per hour by multiplying that value by 0.681818 to give us a calculated MPH of 17.0 in the second ten yards of his run.
At his pro day, he recorded a 3 cone L drill of 8.2 seconds. This correlates to a 1.15 score out of 10.0.


Police have arrested five men in relation to the denial of service attacks on firms that withdrew support for Wikileaks after its controversial release of classified US diplomatic cables.
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Central e-Crime Unit (PCeU) arrested the five men in connection with offences under the Computer Misuse Act 1990.
The five aged 15, 16, 19, 20 and 26, are being held after a series of co-ordinated arrests at addresses in the West Midlands, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire, Surrey and London at 7am today.
The PCeU said the arrests relate to "recent and ongoing distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks by an online group calling themselves 'Anonymous'."
"They are part of an ongoing Metropolitan Police investigation into Anonymous which began last year following criminal allegations of DDoS attacks by the group against several companies," said the Met in a statement.
The investigation is being carried out in conjunction with international law enforcement agencies in Europe and the US, said the PCeU.
Anonymous claimed responsibility for attacks on Amazon, which removed Wikileaks data from its EC2 cloud computing service after pressure from the US government, as well as sites such as PayPal and Mastercard which refused to process transactions for people donating money to Wikileaks.


The Association for Women Geoscientists, Earth Science Women's Network, and the American Geophysical Union are partnering to address the problem of sexual harassment in the earth, space and environmental sciences with a four-year, $1.1 million grant from the National Science Foundation ADVANCE program. A primary goal of the project is to improve work climate conditions by developing bystander intervention workshops for department heads, chairs, faculty and grad students.
Check the project website for new updates!
Many factors play into the decisions of women to leave science, including overt and subtle forms of gender and racial discrimination. The proposed work addresses three related barriers to the retention of women in the geosciences: (1) Hostile climate due to the prevalence of sexual harassment, especially in areas with field training and research; (2) Perceptions that sexual harassment is infrequent and affects few individuals; and (3) Perceived and real lack of resources for responding to sexual harassment.
We propose to raise awareness of the pervasiveness of sexual harassment through the development of tested workshops for department heads, chairs, and faculty and a survey of the geoscience community. Our work will address the culture of academic geoscience by empowering the earth and space science community to stop and prevent sexual harassment by developing strategies of bystander intervention and disseminating these through in-person and online workshops. We will enhance the ethics training of current and future geoscientists by producing teaching modules that include sexual harassment as research misconduct. We will partner with professional societies for national dissemination and sustainability.
Develop and test sexual harassment bystander intervention training programs with geoscience-relevant scenarios, and that incorporate experiences of diverse women.
Develop teaching modules on sexual harassment for geoscience faculty and instructors to use in research ethics training courses.
Disseminate training workshops, webinars, and teaching modules via partnerships with professional societies for sustainability.
Develop a sustainable model that can be transferred to other STEM disciplines.
We focus on geoscientists because it is one of the least diverse of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Little data on how sexual harassment affects women with intersectional identities in the geosciences leads to a lack of awareness of the unique challenges faced by minority women and a lack of appropriate institutional response. The geosciences have an additional challenge: research and training at off-campus field sites where access to support networks and clear guidelines for conduct are weakened or absent.

«Living here at Street-Wise is just a good thing, because while living here you learn how to respect adults, each other and yourself. If you live on the streets you don't care about these things because no one has any respect for each other. I think it is good to live here because they help you to be strong. Now I'm not talking about having muscles, but about becoming a man, someone who can face his problems.
I was about 10 years old when I left home. My mother had left me with my granny when I was 3 months old. The Street-Wise team found me this year (I'm 14 years old). Now I am happy and full of thanks for the staff here at Street-Wise. Thanks to them I can face any problem that comes before me. I like Street-Wise because they made me aware of the rights I have as a kid, the same as everybody else in South Africa.

The study of accounting is transforming.
Its scope has grown as it begins to share concepts with economics and finance, while big data tools have allowed for innovations, like using computational linguistics to determine the intent behind annual report numbers.
A PhD in accounting from the Tippie College of Business brings teaching skills, mentored research, and a publishing record that tees you up for top-tier faculty positions. But you'll do more than fill bright minds; you'll make your own contributions to the field.
See program overview
Going on to great things
Our curriculum, mentorship, research focus, and emphasis on teaching skills will make you a competitive candidate for faculty positions at institutions around the world. The list of schools our PhDs have joined recently is impressive:
University of Washington, Seattle
Mentorship from accounting's best
Faculty mentorship: it's the biggest predictor of your success as a PhD student. It's so important that the American Accounting Association created an award for it. The first winner was Tippie professor Daniel Collins.
You'll work with more than Dan. The small size of the PhD program means you'll interact often with our faculty team, including some of the best minds in the discipline. Like Paul Hribar, whose recent research showed that overconfident CEOs have a knack for churning out overly optimistic forecasts. Or Scott Asay, whose research on the negative impacts of optimism won an award from the American Accounting Association.

I spent the better part of the day shooting the Canadian National's former Wisconsin Central between Marsh Siding and Byron. This particular southbound had just picked up a repaired bad-order car (does that make it a good-ordered car?) at Theresa, and was exiting the south end of Marsh Siding after a northbound had cleared.


A school's facility conditions can have an unexpected impact on student and teacher morale, productivity and performance, as evidenced by research report. Studies have found positive correlations between building conditions and student performance. Unfortunately, the inverse is also true. Given the fact that many facilities in the United States are in dire need of upgrades and improvements, how do you ensure they're not working to the detriment of student achievement?
The reality is this: A report issued in March 2016 from the Center for Green Schools estimated that America spends $46 billion less annually on construction and maintenance on schools than is needed to keep a safe and healthy environment. One in six people in America spend their day in a K-12 school and schools represent the largest public building sector in America, yet the last GAO evaluation of school infrastructure is from 1995 and the average American school is 44 years old.
The financing system for most school districts is not structured to upgrade facilities nor effectively maintain the existing ones. School board members are often forced to choose between maintaining the building and keeping teachers. This is a no win choice and it is our children who lose as a result.
Thus, a challenge exists—facilities are in need of upgrades and capital budgets are tight. Add to this the fact that these very facilities could directly impact student achievement, and the urgency becomes clear. Fortunately, creative solutions exist to help schools address these environmental and infrastructure conditions so they can focus on their primary goal: serving students.
Many school districts have turned to Energy Saving Performance Contracts (ESPC), financing tools made possible by energy service companies such as Honeywell that enable schools to overcome budgeting challenges to make critical building updates. These agreements provide an avenue for schools to fund necessary building upgrades using the annual energy and operational savings they generate. The savings are guaranteed by Honeywell, and the contract eliminates the need for any upfront capital investment.
Indoor Air Quality – Poor indoor air quality can lead to symptoms such as irritated eyes, nose and throat, as well as upper respiratory infections, nausea, dizziness, headaches and general fatigue—all things that can detract from learning, and cause increases in absenteeism, to boot.
Building Climate – Building climate – including temperature and humidity levels – not only impact occupant comfort, but can also create conditions conducive to the growth of bacteria and mold growth, which can also negatively impact student health.
Acoustics and Noise – Research has found that good acoustics leads to good academic performance. This paired with efforts to limit excessive noise from building systems such as heating and cooling equipment, can positively impact student learning and achievement.
Lighting Conditions – Optimal lighting enables students to more easily read, and thus learn –no surprises there. And recent studies have also found that increasing a school's natural lighting can have positive psychological and physiological benefits, as well.
Interior Colors – Colors can affect a person's mood or behavior within a room or a building. When looking at how colors affect students, one study found that student achievement improved when walls were painted pastel colors instead of white.
It is critical that school districts and city leaders partner with energy services companies that have the experience, credibility and engineering resources needed to design a program that is self-funded through energy savings and drives a clean, green, safe school for students and teachers.

Morocco: Christian Converts Unsettled by Fatwa Calling for Execution of Those Who Leave Islam

CAIRO, Egypt (Morning Star News) – A Moroccan fatwa calling for the execution of those who leave Islam has left many Christian converts in turmoil.
There is still much debate over how the fatwa, which only recently came to light after the government's top authority on Islam issued it last year, could change laws in Morocco. But a Moroccan Christian convert active in the house church movement said many former Muslims who are now Christians fear for their lives.
"The fatwa showed us that our country is still living in the old centuries – no freedom, no democracy," he said. "Unfortunately, we feel that we aren't protected. We can be arrested or now even killed any time and everywhere."
The Marrakech resident, who requested anonymity, said many Moroccan converts feel the same way.
"The majority of the Christian Moroccan leaders have the same feeling," he said. "We are more followed now by the secret police than before. Only the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ gives us courage and peace."
The governmental High Council of Ulemas, the highest religious authority in Morocco, issued the ruling last year, but only released it in April upon request of the government's Delegation for Human Rights of Morocco, according to Arabic-language daily Akhbar al-Youm. The human rights delegation was seeking clarification on the Islamic stance on freedom of religion. But Mahjoub El Hiba, a senior human rights official in the government, denied there was any such request to the Moroccan Press Agency, Morocco's official government news service.
In a publication explaining its ruling, the high council said it based its decision in part on verses from the Koran, and in part on verses from the Hadith – one that quotes Muhammad, Islam's prophet, as saying, "If somebody [a Muslim] discards his religion, kill him" (Sahih al-Bukhari 3017).
Islamic scholars use the Hadith, also known as the "Sayings and Deeds of the Prophet," along with the Koran as a basis for determining sharia (Islamic law).
Members of the high council are appointed by the Ministry of Religious Endowments and Islamic Affairs, which is led at least in theory by King Mohammed VI. But the high council is essentially an advisory body, has no connection to Morocco's criminal judicial system and cannot enforce its ruling. Whether the fatwa will have any effect on Moroccan criminal law remains to be seen – there are too many variables, said a representative of Middle East Concern, an advocacy group for persecuted Christians.
"A fatwa doesn't automatically become part of the criminal law," the representative said. "The fatwa doesn't all of the sudden become an amendment or an addendum to the penal code; that's why we don't actually know what it's going to look like in practice or principle. We can't say it's actually going to affect people, because we don't know."
Laws in Morocco
Still, the ruling could represent a major shift within the government – currently apostasy isn't against the law in Morocco.
According to Christian converts in Morocco and some advocacy groups that help them, even if the ruling never becomes law, it sets a dangerous precedent for how converts and Christians in general will be treated in Morocco. If leaving Islam is seen as an act worthy of death, then "proselytizing" – which is illegal – could then be treated as a much more serious issue. Article 220 of the Moroccan Penal Code bans proselytizing, which carries a penalty of between six months and three years in prison and a fine of up to 500 dirhams (US$60). Part of the code forbids using material incentives to persuade someone to change their religion.
In addition to a possible crackdown on sharing their faith, Christians fear law enforcement officials who may be uncertain about how to deal with apostates may opt for harsh treatment of converts because of the fatwa. Christian converts in Morocco say police already harass them.
"The oppression is everywhere," the Marrakech Christian said. "The police follow us or arrest us everywhere."
A Christian of European nationality who went into Morocco for more than 10 years to help converts before the government banned him said the fatwa sets a tone for more persecution.
"It will give the secret police a tool to persecute Moroccan Christians," he said. "It will certainly increase persecution – I'm sure."
He added that he thinks the fatwa will be used to discourage converts from being able to express their faith to others.
"For those who are already Christian, it can increase their burden, but it will really put the threat on any type of outreach and evangelism," he said.
Apostasy in Morocco is complicated by the fact that Islam is the official religion of the state, and the king of Morocco, whose titles include, "The Defender of the Faithful," is seen as the leader of Muslims in Morocco. With politics and religion thus essentially united, spiritual quests can be seen as an act of political dissent or even treason.
Punishment for Leaving Islam
Experts say it is difficult to make across-the-board generalizations about how converts are treated in Morocco. The way they are treated depends on factors such as age, economic standing, whether they live in rural or urban areas and, most importantly, how outspoken they are about their faith.
According to the MEC expert, older Christians who are economically secure, live in a large city and are mostly private about their faith will be persecuted less than other converts. The representative said persecution comes in many different forms, much of it harassment from family members humiliated that someone in their family became a Christian.
The European expatriate, a pastor, said almost all converts experience some sort of harassment by police as well. It is known as a second baptism of sorts for new Christians.
"When a Moroccan comes to Christ, sooner or later, they are going to be confronted by the police," he said. "It's what they call 'police baptism.' Police baptism is what happens when someone gets confronted by the secret police."
The purpose of interrogation is to intimidate Christians into abandoning their new-found faith, the pastor said. In some cases, police have been successful.
There have been several public instances of harassment and persecution of converts that have gone beyond police interrogation. On Dec. 28, 2005, Christian convert Jamaa Ait Bakrim was sentenced to 15 years in prison for proselytism and for destroying the goods of others by burning two abandoned telephone poles touching his property. He remains in Kenitra Prison.
In March 2010, the government expelled at least 33 Christian foreign residents from the country. Among them were 10 adult Christians, along with their children, who were running The Village of Hope, a foster daycare center for orphans. The foster children were turned over to the care of people they did not know.
In addition to the expulsions, roughly 81 people were declared "persona non grata" for alleged proselytizing. None have returned. As recently as February, one of those blacklisted tried to gain reentry but was detained and then deported.
There are about 8,000 Moroccan Christians out of a population of almost 35 million people, according to the 2012 International Religious Freedom Report published by the U.S. Department of State.
Moderate Morocco
Morocco has taken pains to maintain its image as a moderate Islamic country. Any deviation from that image could cost Morocco in foreign trade, tourism revenue and international prestige, but observers believe the laws against proselytizing and the recent fatwa threaten the country's reputation as religiously moderate.
"It is imperative that they are seen in alignment with Western standards of freedom of religion," the MEC representative said. "This would be a very significant step away from standards that Morocco has agreed to in the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights. It would go against the progress that Morocco has made over the past 10 years."
The expatriate pastor sees the fatwa as part of the region's tide toward "political Islam" and a bid to silence hardline Islamic critics of the regime.
"Arab Spring has become Christian winter," he said.

YOU PROMISED ME GLASS WINDOWS
Suzanna's eyes narrowed and her lips tightened. "I did not come to this god forsaken valley to live in a cave," she snapped. The toddler on her hip started fussing but Suzanna only shifted impatiently and continued to glare at her husband on the other side of the room. "You promised me glass windows. You also said you wanted to farm, that you were finished with trapping."
Gerald gestured at the beaver pelts lying just inside the cabin door. "I was finding the means to buy glass," he said mildly.
Suzanna turned away. "The money will just go to something else." Alma fussed again and Suzanna bent to place her on the floor. "The mule will go lame or cougars will take down a couple more calves."
"Suzanna sweet–"
"Don't you 'sweet' me!" She straightened, hands on her hips. "I will not be sweet-talked out of this! You can't expect me to live in a cabin with just shutters at the windows, sitting in the dark whenever it rains!"
"We have lamps."
"It's not the same and you know it!"
Alma had toddled to her father. She clung to his leg, looking up at him. "Papa stay home?" she asked. "Mama ang'y." She shook her dark curly head. "Me don' like Mama ang'y."
Gerald and Suzanna stared at each other for a long moment. Then Gerald scooped Alma into his arms and Suzanna threw her hands in the air helplessly and crossed the room. She leaned her head against his shoulder. "I had no idea when you would return," she said into his sleeve.

SNOW, 3 of 3 — Homecoming
After an icy night huddled against his mule in the lee of a sandstone boulder, it took Peter another two days of slogging up Cimarron Canyon before he reached the valley above.
He had to lead the mule through the most treacherous part of the half-frozen marsh where the river formed up at the valley's edge. "Come'n now," he coaxed. "Can't you smell the cabin smoke?" But she just rolled her eyes at him.
Finally they were through, his water-soaked boots heavy on his feet, the ten inches of snow on the ground making them colder. He turned left, toward home, and the mule's pace quickened. "Smellin' home?" Peter asked sardonically. They were close enough now to make out the cabin at the base of the rise. Smoke steamed from the chimney and the figure of a woman showed at the door, one hand to her forehead, gazing in his direction. Peter's own pace quickened, in spite of the heavy boots.

"Make it stop," the little boy moaned. He rubbed his ears with his fingers and rocked himself back and forth in his mother's lap. "Mama, please make it stop."
"I wish I could," Alma said, stroking his golden hair. She pulled him closer to her chest, then began moving the rocking chair rhythmically back and forth.
"It hurts," he whimpered.
"I know." She gazed out the window at the clouds scudding across the Moreno Valley sky. The spring winds had always been a sign to her of coming warmth and green things sprouting. Until now. Until the pain from the changing air pressure had reduced her energy-filled child into a whimpering puppy hiding in her lap.
The rocking chair's rhythm and the warmth of her arms was relaxing him into sleep. She stroked his head gently and he snuggled closer. Alma smiled. She had planned to start turning the garden soil today. It could wait until tomorrow, she decided. Until the wind had subsided at least a little.

DARKER THAN A WOLF'S MOUTH
"No, don't go out there now," Maria said. "It is late and there is no moon. El es oscuro como boca de lobo."
"How d'you know how dark it is inside a wolf's mouth?" Alvin Little grumbled as he put on his boots. "Leave me be." He paused again, listening. The sound came again, the rattle of sticks tumbling off the pile of kindling just outside the door. "I spent two hours yesterday cuttin' that kindling and I'm damned if someone's gonna go stealin' it."
"El noche es más mala que Judas," she protested. "It is unsafe."
He reached for the door latch, then turned to look at her. "More evil than who? Judas, you say? Where d'you get this stuff?"
He stopped on the sill and shook his head as he peered into the darkness. A pale sliver of moon and no starlight. Heavy clouds blanketing the sky. He chuckled. So this was what a wolf's mouth looked like. He leaned forward and peered at the wood piled alongside the cabin. He could just see the once neatly stacked kindling. Sticks lay haphazardly at the foot of the pile, as if someone had tried to climb it. Alvin scowled and stepped into the yard to gather them up.
A slight scratching sound came from the wooden roof, but Alvin didn't have time to do more than lift his head before the mountain lion was on top of him, or hear more than Maria's single scream before the big cat's teeth found his throat.

Nilsen, Micheline
"With antecedents dating back to the Middle Ages, the community garden is more popular than ever as a means of procuring the freshest food possible and instilling community cohesion. But as Micheline Nilsen shows, the small-garden movement, which gained impetus in the nineteenth century as rural workers crowded into industrial cities, was for a long time primarily a repository of ideas concerning social reform, hygienic improvement, and class mobility. Complementing efforts by worker cooperatives, unions, and social legislation, the provision of small garden plots offered some relief from bleak urban living conditions. Urban planners often thought of such gardens as a way to insert "lungs" into a city. Standing at the intersection of a number of disciplines--including landscape studies, horticulture, and urban history-- The Working Man's Green Space focuses on the development of allotment gardens in European countries in the nearly half-century between the Franco-Prussian War and World War I, when the French Third Republic, the German Empire, and the late Victorian era in England saw the development of unprecedented measures to improve the lot of the "laboring classes." Nilsen shows how community gardening is inscribed within a social contract that differs from country to country, but how there is also an underlying aesthetic and social significance to these gardens that transcends national borders." -- Publisher's description
