Jake Strong looks to be being built up for a match against Matanza at some point, which should be all sorts of fun. Matanza practically murdered Johnny Mundo and Taya Valkyrie at the end of the show. Strong has his eye on the Gift of the Gods Championship, and you can't help but think that whomever he challenges will not be able to stand up to him.
Sammy Guevara made his return to Lucha Underground, joining forces with Ivelisse and XO Lishus. Mil Muertes continues to be one of my favorite monsters in wrestling.
The show opened by recapping all the legs that Jake Strong broke throughout the season. Antonio Cueto had Strong come into his office and talked about how he was impressed with the destruction that Strong has brought to Lucha Underground. Strong didn't want a title shot handed to him, so Cueto gave him a chance at the Gift of the Gods medallions.
Strong said he saw the sacrifices that Matanza was making, and how there should be some left for him. Then his voice changed to a demonic voice and said that the temple was his.
Cueto announced to the audience that he was going to crown a new Gift of the Gods Champion before Ultima Lucha Cuatro.
This was a very quick battle royal that saw Strong absolutely dominate everyone and throw them over the top.
Strong told Cueto that he wanted to take on every man in the match next week for the championship, and that he was going to destroy every one of them. The match was booked for next week, but Strong wanted more, so Cueto booked the main event for tonight: Jake Strong vs. Johnny Mundo.
Killshot and The Mack had a very fast-paced match with Son of Havoc watching from the crowd. The Mack and Killshot hit several high-flying moves, however, what was going to be an excellent match was cut short as Mil Muertes ran in and took out both men.
Son of Havoc tried to make the save, but Muertes destroyed everyone as Killshot made his way out of the ring to avoid the monster.
Ivelisse and XO Lishus talked about how they were challenged to fight for the Trios titles against The White Rabbit Tribe and The Reptile Tribe. However, Joey Ryan was not fit to wrestle due to the beating he took last week, so they announced Sammy Guevara as their partner.
Famous B came out and told Guevara that he was brought to LU as a member of Infamous Inc., and as per his contract, he could only work for him for the next seven years. So XO Lishus and Ivelisse were without a partner. Guevara did a dive onto Famous B, threw the contract into the garbage, put the garbage can over B's head, and superkicked the garbage can.
They started the match with Strong out-wrestling Mundo and overpowering him with a belly-to-belly suplex. Mundo responded with a Beautiful Disaster kick. Mundo went for a springboard, but Strong cut him off, blocked a kick, and drove Mundo into the ring post. Strong went to the outside and beat on Mundo for a little bit before bringing him back into the ring and stomping on him.
Strong hit Mundo so hard with a lariat that he fell down. Strong went for his avalanche splash off the middle rope, but Mundo got his feet up and brought it right to him with a tornado DDT. Mundo hit a spinning wheel kick, a knee to the face, and a standing Shooting Star Press, but Strong kicked out. Mundo went for Moonlight Drive, but after a series of counters, Strong sent him to the outside again.
Strong and Mundo ended up brawling into the audience, and Strong no sold some of the brawling. Mundo dove from one part of the stands into another, and then hit a massive sunset flip powerbomb over the guardrail to the floor on Strong, which was brutal. Mundo rolled Strong into the ring and hit a 450 splash elbow, but Strong kicked out.
Strong tried to hit a superplex, but Mundo fought him off. Strong ran up the ropes and hit an overhead belly-to-belly all the way across the ring, then hit his avalanche splash, but Mundo kicked out. Mundo went for the End of the World, but Strong rolled him up and locked on the ankle lock! Mundo sent him to the floor, hit a superkick when he came back in, hit Moonlight Drive, and Strong still kicked out!
After an exchange of strikes, Strong grabbed another ankle lock. Mundo tried so hard to escape, and he threw his elbow pad across the ring. The referee picked up the elbow pad to take it out of the ring, and as he did so, Mundo low blowed Strong to get out of it. Mundo hit the End of the World, but Strong kicked out and locked on the ankle lock again! Mundo tapped out and the crowd reacted in horror. This match was so awesome. Go out of your way to see it.
Just as Strong was about to destroy Mundo, Matanza came out. Strong threw Mundo at him and Matanza proceeded to annihilate Mundo. Taya Valkyrie ran out to try and make the save, but Matanza hit Wrath of the Gods on Taya. Mundo was busted wide open and bleeding everywhere while he was trying to protect Taya. Antonio Cueto came out smiling as Matanza was covered in Mundo's blood. Awesome closing angle too.

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has reassured passengers and other airport users of their safety across its network of airports.
The reassurance is coming after the fresh outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Vanguard reports.
Legit.ng notes that this came as the minister of health, Isaac Adewole, said that the federal government was taking adequate measures to prevent a possible health disaster in the country because of the threats posed by the resurgence of Ebola disease in DRC.
According to Adewole, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has begun the coordination of a national working group to assess and manage the risk posed by the virus in the DRC to Nigeria.
He said: "We are aware of the outbreak of Ebola in DRC following an announcement by the country on May 8, 2018. NCDC is currently coordinating a national working group that is assessing and managing the risk to Nigeria.
"We are in close communication with our partners including the World Health Organisation, who are in Congo to monitor and respond to the situation. The Port Health services unit has been placed on red-alert and will heighten screening measures at ports of entry.
General manager, corporate affairs of the FAAN, Henrietta Yakubu, said: "We have always had thermal scanners in our airports that monitor temperature of passengers and capture their pictures. We still have hand sanitisers in our restrooms too. When passengers walk pass the scanners, it registers their temperature. If yours is high, you are pulled aside for observation."
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Ebola deadly virus, that raged in some West African countries several years ago, had staged a return in northwest part of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), killing 17 people.
Congo's health ministry on Tuesday, May 8, described the fresh outbreak as a "public health emergency with international impact".

Chemicals found on Detroit lands at Howe bridge site

Construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge on the Detroit side will not be delayed despite recent findings of historical toxic industrial chemicals during soil testings, the bridge authority said Friday.
"A sampling was undertaken by Michigan on properties throughout the state, including properties required for the site of the (U.S. bridge plaza) over a four-month period," said Mark Butler, spokesman for the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority which is overseeing construction.
"Trace amounts of historical PFAS were found in both soil and groundwater on the site."
There has been no contamination found in the nearby residential water supply and the location of the findings at the bridge site — more than a kilometre away from the banks of the Detroit River — pose no environmental danger to the waterway, he said.
PFAS (polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a man-made chemical once used in production in the 1950s to create waterproof, stain resistant or non-stick products that ranged from carpeting, waterproof clothing, food paper wrappings, upholstery, furniture and cosmetics.
They are a danger to the human body or environment because they can accumulate over time. PFAS may increase thyroid disease, decrease fertility in women or cause developmental issues in children.
There are 36 confirmed PFAS sites around the state, but the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality estimates there could be as many as 11,300 potential sites where PFAS may have been used, according to the Michigan Environmental Council.
The bridge authority "is very cognizant of our environmental requirements and obligations and is working closely with Michigan to ensure the appropriate mitigation measures take place," Butler said.
There have been no construction delays or timeline adjustments because of the soil testing and mitigation, he said.
The Howe bridge — a new six-lane cable-stayed bridge over the Detroit River — is scheduled to open in the fall of 2024.

Just over a month ago, I was shocked when I was force-fed a twitter screen takeover while looking at my domain names registered at GoDaddy. Immediately, I did some news searches to see if GoDaddy had purchased Twitter because it seemed very out of place. There were no such announcements. In fact, there was very little news about this development.
Every time I'm in my account tweaking my domains, I can't help but notice the twitter promotion overload. I can't help but wonder why GoDaddy would take such a keen interest in helping to fuel more twitter accounts. From a service perspective, it is pretty lame because it is already incredibly easy to check name availability and sign up for twitter. I could think of a hundred other features GoDaddy should build and promote instead. If it were a two-way arrangement, where Twitter promotes domain registration for Twitter user names, then I could see the benefit.
So why do you suppose GoDaddy is pimping Twitter so much? Is GoDaddy going to buy Twitter? Is Twitter paying GoDaddy for this treatment? Is GoDaddy's product development team overly caught up with Twitter & group-think led them to believe this add on would separate them from other registrars? I have no idea, but it will be interesting to watch this over time.

I just looked up lyrics for both new day by Tamar Kaprelian and joy williams, judging from the lyrics they are two different songs all together even if they may sound the same.

Ok, because this was driving me crazy I finally went and listened to the Joy Williams song, tried to do some research came out pretty much am on the same page as idk.
For egr9546 - I did not say you could not broach the subject, rather that to state "plagiarism" as a fact without proper supporting facts and investigation amounts to a drive by assault on someone's character, which I find distasteful. I did try to look and find facts on the two songs. Based on ASCAP's web site
http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300, the song by Joy Williams' copyright is listed as

And the most I can find on Tamar's song is that Interscope (a subsidiary of UMG - Universal Music Group) holds the copyright and they are listed as a publisher/administrator under ASCAP. I could not find the song itself listed in the time I spent
Anyhow, based on listening, it is the vocal melody in the chorus that is exceptionally similar. The lyrics have enough similarity just in the chorus to be reminiscent, but my best OPINION/GUESS would be that the only thing I can say with a some degree of certainty is whomever composed the music used the melody in the chorus and I have no clue of with or without permission. Since both parties are ASCAP and large companies, I would guess that Interscope has some agreement.
In terms of the lyrics, especially since Tamar refers to Paul McCartney as a big influence, the Hello/Goodbye lyrical twist could have a start there or from any number of songs, but I could not say that the lyrics are taken from anyone with even a moderate degree of certainty.
So that is what I could find out from a little research. It is probably more of a commentary of what happens when someone with a larger company records and producers, studio musicians and many others start getting involved than anything else, but that again is a guess. Also it was interesting that Joy Williams was not listed as a writer, when I saw her listed that way on a number of sites.
In terms of does that make the song not "original" I would say it entirely depends on your personal definition and feelings. Just realize the number of people who contribute to a song is a usually a collaborative effort, especially as the composition gets more complicated and the production is done by a major label with more money spent.

Sounds like Joy Williams song???
by hilaryshapen on May 29, 2010 at 5:03 PM EDT
Personally, I don't like this song much, a find it pop-formula. She's a good singer, the song is well-produced, but it's just not my thing...
But it's NOT a cover, and you'd have to be deaf or profoundly confused to think so... different rhythm, feel, even the point of the song is not the same.
Her chorus here has ENORMOUS similarities to the Williams song, no doubt about that. Was it "stolen" or "borrowed" or "heavily influenced" by Joy's song? who knows... should we care much? probably not...

Post-Election Continuity
By David G. Brown
Published May 2012 in Comparative Connections · Volume 14, Issue 1

Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies
In January, President Ma Ying-jeou won re-election and the KMT retained its majority in the legislature. Voters endorsed Ma's gradual approach to developing constructive relations with the Mainland. In Beijing, the outcome validated President Hu's "peaceful development" policies. Both sides have indicated there will be continuity in cross-strait relations with a focus on a busy economic agenda. While understanding the domestic factors constraining Ma's willingness to discuss political issues, Beijing has emphasized the importance of building political trust and strengthening a common Chinese heritage. Meanwhile, the DPP defeat provoked an internal debate on the party's policy toward Beijing, but no clear picture has emerged on whether or how party policy might change.

Both sides have indicated that there will be continuity in cross-strait relations with a focus on a busy economic agenda. While understanding the domestic factors constraining Ma's willingness to discuss political issues, Beijing has emphasized the importance of building political trust and strengthening a common Chinese heritage. Meanwhile, the DPP's defeat has provoked an internal debate on the party's policy toward Beijing but no clear picture has emerged on whether or how party policy might eventually change.
Ma is re-elected
In the Jan. 14 presidential election, Ma Ying-jeou won re-election with 51.6 percent of the vote. While the margin was larger than had been predicted, Ma's 6 percent margin of victory was much below his 17 percent margin in 2008. In the Legislative Yuan (LY) elections, the Kuomintang (KMT) retained its absolute majority, but with a reduced majority and a much more complicated multi-party lineup. In the absence of exit polls, observers generally concluded that voters had opted to support Ma's predictable economic and cross-strait policies over the uncertainty associated with Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate Tsai Ing-wen and her poorly articulated cross-strait policies. Ma's support for and Tsai's rejection of the "1992 Consensus" as a basis for conducting cross-strait relations was seen as playing an important role in the outcome. The strong public reaction to Ma's comments in November about a possible future peace agreement combined with the reduced mandate contributed to a view that Ma will have to be very cautious in considering steps toward cross-strait discussion of political issues.
One interesting sidelight on the campaign and election was Beijing's relatively open approach to coverage of it. The Communist Party Propaganda Department did issue guidelines to the print and TV media to limit coverage to reporting by the official Xinhua News Agency. However, Beijing did not block online coverage or shutdown Internet commentary. Consequently, netizens in China had access to considerable news about what was a model peaceful, democratic election, with some favorable comments and comparisons to politics on the mainland.
Election presages continuity
In an early-January article, Taiwan Affairs Office (TAO) Minister Wang Yi foresaw that Beijing's efforts would remain focused on economic issues. The idea of addressing economics first, politics later and easy issues first, hard ones later would continue to guide policy. In its statement on the election, the TAO said that Hu Jintao's policy on "peaceful development" of cross-strait relations was correct, that it had been supported by the Taiwan people and would continue. Beijing saw a busy schedule of economic issues including: commodity and services trade talks under the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA), preparations for an exchange of trade organization offices, negotiation of a Yuan Settlement Agreement, negotiation of the Investment Protection Agreement and a Customs cooperation pact, a meeting of the Cross-strait Economic Cooperation Committee (CSECC) and eventually the eighth Straits Exchange Foundation-Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) meeting.
Spokesmen for President Ma gave very similar descriptions of what Taipei foresaw for the coming year. KMT Vice Chairman John Chiang visited Washington in late January and stressed that the economic agenda would consume the coming year and contained many issues that would take protracted and difficult negotiations.
US position
The White House issued a statement congratulating President Ma and praising the election as another sign of Taiwan's vital democracy. On substance, the statement said "Cross-strait peace and stability, in an environment free from intimidation, are of profound importance to the United States. We hope the impressive efforts that both sides have undertaken in recent years to build cross-strait ties continue."
Cross-strait developments
Two important cross-strait meetings took place this spring. On March 22, KMT Honorary Chairman Wu Poh-hsiung met General Secretary Hu Jintao in Beijing. On April 1, Vice President-elect Wu Dun-Yih met Li Keqiang, the presumptive next Peoples Republic of China (PRC) Premier at the Boao Forum. Wu participated in Boao in his capacity as head of the Cross-strait Common Market Delegation and Li met Wu wearing his Communist Party hat. There were brief reports about each meeting, predictably focusing on economic issues and mentioning some specific issues that had been raised, including Wu Dun-yih's raising the issue of Taiwan's international space. However, most of what was discussed has as usual not been revealed.
These are far more than symbolic encounters. As Ma Ying-jeou has said repeatedly that he would only meet PRC leaders in his capacity as president of the Republic of China (ROC), there is no prospect of Ma meeting Hu or Xi Jinping in the coming years. Consequently, these meetings represent the highest level direct contacts that occur. Given the importance of personal relations, particularly in China, they are crucial to the management of cross-strait relations and the development of greater political trust between leaders in Taipei and Beijing.
At the working-level, Taipei and Beijing announced in mid-April guidelines for the reciprocal establishment of trade organization offices. This exchange will implement a provision of ECFA. In Taipei, the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) reported that the Taiwan External Trade Development Organization (TAITRA) had been authorized to apply in Beijing to open offices in Beijing and Shanghai, using the name "Taiwan Trade Office".
The Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Committee (CSECC) formed under ECFA held its third meeting in Tamsui on April 26. As earlier, the delegations, meeting under the SEF-ARATS umbrella, were led by Beijing's Vice Minister of Commerce Jiang Yaoping and Taipei's Vice Minister of Economic Affairs Liang Kuo-shin. It was announced that the committee had reached "consensus" on the Investment Protection Agreement and on the "basic principles" of a Customs Cooperation Agreement. Both sides expressed "optimism" that these two agreements would be signed at the eighth ARATS-SEF meeting. Sources in Taipei predicted that meeting would be held in Taipei before June 15. In addition, the two delegations formally endorsed the procedures for the reciprocal establishment of trade organization offices. It was announced that the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Electronics Products would be the organization applying to establish an office in Taipei. Finally the meeting reviewed progress in the discussions being held in CSECC sub-committees for goods trade, service trade, dispute resolution, standards, and industrial cooperation.
Beijing's proposal to establish the Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone has been a source of cross-strait controversy this spring. For over a decade, Beijing has been promoting proposals for a "Western Taiwan Strait Economic Zone" to help Fujian Province compete more effectively for investments from Taiwan, most of which has gone elsewhere in China despite Fujian's propinquity to Taiwan. The brief section on Premier Wen Jiabao's National People's Congress (NPC) work report relating to cross-strait relations included a sentence calling for accelerated development of the zone. The most recent proposal, dubbed the Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone, envisages a zone on Fujian's Pingtan Island that would be jointly designed and operated by people from Taiwan and the Mainland. There has been criticism in Taipei of the idea that Taiwanese would be hired as government employees in China to help run the zone. (This has also focused attention on the broader issue of other Taiwanese who are working in various government capacities in China.) Some see this as indicating a political rather than economic purpose. Elements in the DPP have viewed it as a step toward implementing Beijing's "one Country, two systems" proposal. Taipei government spokesmen have also voiced some of these concerns. On the Mainland, TAO Minister Wang Yi has expressed surprise at the negative reactions to the Pingtan proposal. Officials from Fujian have been in Taiwan attempting to explain the concept. To help manage the issue, Premier Sean Chen has said that the government's official position is that the Pingtan proposal should be discussed in ECFA channels.
What about political talks?
After Ma's election in 2008, there was considerable speculation that the period between Ma's re-election in 2012 and the 18th Party Congress in the fall would present a window of opportunity for Presidents Hu and Ma to take steps toward a peace agreement, which each had separately endorsed. There is no talk of such a possibility now as domestic politics in Taiwan are setting the pace for cross-strait developments. The negotiation of the existing agreements, particularly ECFA, has strained domestic politics and the reaction to Ma's November suggestions about talks on a peace agreement has reinforced a very cautious approach to political talks within the Ma administration.
President Ma and others in his administration continue to talk of the pre-conditions needed for political talks: consensus within Taiwan, public support, and oversight by the legislature – none of which is in place. Following the election, Ma said that the further accumulation of functional cross-strait agreements would be useful in consolidating cross-strait peace, even absent a specific peace agreement. Accordingly, Taipei's efforts will remain focused on economic and functional issues.
Beijing's posture appears more complicated. On the one hand, TAO Minister Wang Yi has expressed patience with respect to political talks, saying that Beijing will let Taipei set the pace in cross-strait relations. TAO officials appear to have a good understanding of the constraints on President Ma and appreciate that if Ma moves too quickly he will lose public support and potentially open an opportunity for the DPP to return to power. On the other hand, there have been indications of growing doubts in Beijing about Ma's willingness to make significant steps forward. Ma's comment that peace could be consolidated by functional agreements was interpreted as one sign of Ma's reduced commitment to move toward a peace agreement. While patient in the short-term, over the longer-term, Beijing will need progress on political issues to blunt criticism that Hu's peaceful development policy is not making progress toward the eventual goal of reunification. In April, there were indications that Beijing was conveying its view that it would like to see comments on political issues in President Ma's May 20 second inaugural address.
In February and March, references to political aspects began to appear in Beijing statements on cross-strait relations. In his NPC work report, Premier Wen Jiabao stated that Beijing sought to "strengthen the political, economic, and cultural foundation and public support for growing cross-strait relations." How did putting politics first mesh with an agenda that would remain focused on economic issues? A few days later at a major conference in Yunnan, TAO Minister Wang Yi explained the political element, saying Beijing aimed to strengthen the basis for cross-strait political trust and to deepen the two sides' common identification as belonging to one China. Cultivating increased mutual trust was the key to eventually addressing cross-strait differences. Cultivating a stronger sense of both sides belonging to one family would create a firm basis for resolving difficult issues. Wang Yi spoke of strengthening emotional bonds and a sense of common ethnic Chinese identity (zhonghua minzhu rentong). In other words, at a time when there is little prospect of progress on political issues, the leadership needs to explain to domestic audiences and potential critics what it is doing to lay the ground for eventually progress on those issues.
Debate within the DPP
The electoral defeat in January has led to soul searching within the DPP. Tsai Ing-wen sparked this by suggesting in her concession speech that the party might need to reconsider its cross-strait policies. Generally, moderates in the party have acknowledged that Tsai's rejection of the "1992 Consensus" contributed to her defeat and several, including Frank Hsieh, Hsu Hsin-liang, and Tung Chen-yuan, have suggested a need to reconsider party policy. Fundamentalists have avoided saying that Tsai's cross-strait policy contributed to her defeat because they do not want to see any change to the DPP's basic pro-independence position. Trong Chai, Wu Rong-yi, and Joseph Wu have opposed suggestions for changing the party's "China" policy. The party's formal report on the election focused on campaign technicalities and avoided any mention of Tsai's cross-strait positions. That report promoted another round of comments from party moderates. In late April, the TAO spokesman made a statement that seemed to be a response to the ongoing DPP debate saying that "as long as the DPP makes any move toward abandoning their Taiwan independence stance, we will make a direct response."
On Feb. 29, Chen Chu became acting DPP chairperson pending a chairmanship election in May. Both Tsai and Chen Chu have said publicly that the DPP should increase its contacts with Beijing to promote better two-way understanding. This is one issue on which there appears to be wide agreement within the party. In March, DPP Secretary General Lo Chih-cheng and former party official Tung I-wen attended the 10th Cross-strait Conference in Yunnan at the invitation of its TAO sponsors. Lo and Tung attended in non-DPP capacities. There has been no change in Beijing's policy that it welcomes contacts with DPP members, in appropriate capacities, but will not have party-to-party contact so long as the DPP rejects the "1992 Consensus" and promotes Taiwan independence. In late April, the TAO spokesman emphasized that even DPP leaders would be welcome to visit "in appropriate capacities."
On March 22, DPP Secretary General Lo Chih-cheng stated that Taiwan's official name is the Republic of China. On March 29, Acting Chairperson Chen Chu used the term "mainland China" rather than the standard DPP term "China." Both these statements have been interpreted within DPP circles as signs of new flexibility. Whether these statements become part of regular party rhetoric remains to be seen.
In mid-April, five candidates registered for the DPP chairmanship election. Three are fundamentalists: Wu Rong-yi, head of the Taiwan Brain Trust, former Tainan Mayor Su Huan-chih and legislator Trong Chai. Former Premier Su Tseng-chang has only said policy should be based on the DPP's 1999 resolution on Taiwan's future. Former party chair Hsu Hsin-liang has called for a new resolution to update party policy. As Su Tseng-chang is the front-runner, there has been talk that the three fundamentalist candidates should join forces to prevent his election.
In sum, there has been a lot of attention to cross-strait policy within the DPP. However, none of the mainstream party leaders (i.e., Su Tseng-chang, Chen Chu, and Tsai Ing-wen) clearly indicated views on future cross-strait policy. How DPP policy will evolve is unclear and will depend on a variety of still uncertain factors.

On April 27, the White House sent a letter to Sen. John Cornyn on the sale of advanced fighter aircraft to Taiwan. Cornyn had put a hold on the nomination of Mark Lippert as assistant secretary of defense for East Asia as a means of forcing the administration to address the perceived deficiency in Taiwan's fighter aircraft inventory. The letter said the White House shared Cornyn's concern about Taiwan's growing shortfall in fighter aircraft and that the administration would be deciding "on a near–term course of action on how to address Taiwan's fighter gap, including through the sale to Taiwan of an undetermined number of new US-made fighter aircraft." The Senate confirmed Lippert's appointment on April 26. It had been assumed recently that there would be no major arms sales decisions during 2012. Although there are caveats in the letter, this deal raises the possibility of a decision this year.
Cross-strait trade
According to Taipei's Ministry of Finance, cross-strait trade grew 11.5 percent to reach $134.7 billion in 2011. Taiwan's exports to China grew 7.4 percent to $91.1 billion and Taiwan's imports for the mainland grew 21.3 percent to $43.6 billion. Exports and imports of products covered by the early harvest tariff reductions under ECFA grew more rapidly than overall exports and imports. Additional products on the early harvest list became eligible for reduced tariffs from Jan. 1, 2012. Cross-strait trade growth began to slow in late 2011 and that trend has continued in the first months of 2012, reflecting the economic slow-down in China and in China's developed country markets.
Since Taipei first opened the door to Mainland investment in 2009, Mainland investors have committed only $272 million to Taiwan, a paltry sum when compared to the $68 billion Chinese firms invested abroad in 2010. In March, Taipei announced the third liberalization of sectors open to mainland investment. As a result, 97 percent of manufacturing, 51 percent of service, and 51 percent of infrastructure sectors are open. Nevertheless, no rush of Chinese investment is expected. This is primarily because a variety of ownership percent, land purchase, and other restrictions continue to inhibit Mainland investments.
The continuity agenda for the coming months include the conclusion of a Yuan Settlement Agreement and the eighth SEF-ARATS meeting in Taiwan at which the twice-deferred Investment Protection Agreement is expected finally to be signed. President Ma's second inaugural address on May 20 will be watched carefully for anything it may say about the prospects for beginning to address political issues during his second term.
Behind the scenes there will likely be further talks about the possibility of SEF and ARATS agreeing to establish reciprocal offices in Taipei and Beijing. ARATS President Chen Yunlin has urged progress on this, but the MAC has said there continue to be significant differences on related issues. If achieved, the exchange of offices would represent a significant forward step in institutionalizing de facto cross-strait relations.

3 US contractors killed in shooting at Kabul airport
A CH-47 Chinook helicopter sits on the tarmac at Kabul International Airport on Dec. 8, 2014. Three contractors working with the international military coalition in Afghanistan were shot and killed Thursday, Jan. 29, 2015, on the military side of the airport. (Jarrod Morris/U.S. Army)
KABUL, Afghanistan — Three U.S. contractors were killed and a fourth wounded Thursday in a shooting in Kabul, a U.S. defense official said.
Two media outlets reported that the shooter was an Afghan in an Army uniform.
U.S. Army Col. Brian Tribus, a spokesman for the NATO-led Resolute Support mission, said the shooting occurred at about 6:40 p.m. at the military side of Kabul's international airport.
The shooting is under investigation, he said.
Tribus said an Afghan national also was killed but would not confirm whether the Afghan was a member of the security forces or whether he was the shooter. Afghan military officials reached late Thursday night could not provide any more details.
The military base at the airport hosts Afghan military units as well as advisers from a variety of NATO and allied countries. In 2011, the airport was the scene of the deadliest insider attack of the war when eight U.S. airmen and a contractor were killed by an Afghan officer.
Green-on-blue, or insider attacks, peaked in 2012 as the NATO forces were ramping up training of the ANA.
The U.S. and NATO then began a major review of the vetting process for Afghan recruits for the police and the army to include checking on the identities and loyalties of village elders and Afghan officials who are required to vouch for the trainees, the officials said.
Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene, a 34-year veteran, who was the deputy commanding general of Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan, is the highest ranking victim of such attacks. He was killed in Kabul on Aug. 5, 2014, when an Afghan soldier fired into a group of Americans from a bathroom window.

Challenging a well-drafted premarital agreement is a an uphill battle. Despite the popular belief that "prenups are not worth the paper they are written on", they actually are enforceable if drafted correctly and the parties are represented by independent counsel. Before entering into a prenup one should carefully evaluate whether the terms are fair and whether they can live under them. Once you execute the prenup, you could be stuck with it. The attorneys at Walzer Melcher LLP are experts on drafting premarital agreements. They can also counsel you on whether you need a prenup, or whether you should sign the one presented to you.


A teeth whitening treatment consists first with the cosmetic dentist making sure the teeth are clean. They would first apply a protective coating on the patient's gums, which is not harmful to the gums just a safety precaution from the laser light. A potent teeth whitening gel, Zoom, is applied to the teeth and then the laser light is used to activate the gel. The laser light allows for the whitening agent to deeply penetrate the dentin of the patient's teeth in order to lift and remove stains to provide a bright white smile. At interviews the specialist may utilize the laser light in order to remove deep tough stains or may request a patient to return for a consequent treatment.
• It can improve one's self-confidence.
• It can improve one's self-esteem.
• It can improve one's social life.
One may think that by avoiding foods and drinks that cause discoloration to one's teeth that their teeth will not become or become discolored and it can improve the chances of slowing the process but we can not avoid taking necessary medications to remain healthy and we surely can not avoid aging. That's probably why a teeth whitening treatment is the most common requested and performed procedure by a cosmetic dentist.
The best way to ensure that you have the bright smile possible, you should talk with a laser teeth whitening specialist. Together, you can determine if this is the best treatment to improve the brightness of your smile.

Saturation Banding
Filed under: General, Birding & Outdoors, Rutherford & NJ, NM & SW US, Sandia Crest
Update on the Rosy-Finches of Sandia Crest, New Mexico. The flag is waving– flocks of up to 150 Rosy-Finches are still visiting the feeders at Sandia Crest House. Feeders to remain up until end of this month or bears wake up, whichever happens first.
When we led weekend morning bird walks for the public at the Rio Grande Nature Center in Albuquerque, one of the highlights during migration seasons was our stop at the Rio Grande Research banding station, where Steve and Nancy Cox and the other volunteers usually had a few freshly caught specimens that everyone could examine at short range and benefit from the interesting presentations that Steve would usually give about each species. I m sure that these encounters with the banders turned many casual hikers into avid birders.
In the course of spring banding, the team was so good at catching the local birds that a high percentage of our resident White-breasted Nuthatches, Black-capped Chickadees, and woodpeckers bore bands. When participants in the walks looked at a chickadee or nuthatch, they often made it a point to see if it was already banded. More often than not, it was, and, if there was no band, they often guessed that it was a bird that had hatched out that year.
This kind of efficiency is also evident with the rosy-finch banding program at
Sandia Crest House. As winter progresses, an ever larger percentage of
captured birds already has been banded. Having so many banded birds can
bother some photographers, who are looking for a "saleable image, " as
they say. They view bands as detracting from the image of wildness. It
leads some photographers to try to find rosy-finches elsewhere. One
good place is the Taos Ski Valley, where the Kandahar Condomiums are
very birder-friendly and the view of the feeders is wonderful. However,
it seems that the Sandia Crest birds are now "contaminating" those up
in Taos!
Well, Nancy Cox told us that the banders met a photographer at the Crest last Sunday.
"He mentioned that he had photographed some rosy-finches in the Taos area. He said that one in 20 of them were banded. He sent us a photo of one of the banded birds. We can read 3 of the band numbers. Unfortunately the bands have 9 numbers and I really can't confirm that it is one of ours. It makes us very interested in getting "our" birds outfitted with transmitters next year."
The poor photographer did not want photos of banded birds and was trying to avoid them.
Migration Radar
Last night (Wednesday the 19th) there was a fairly good flight of migrants from Cuba to Southern Florida, despite some weather to the west of the flocks. Click on the thumbnail to see a loop from 9 PM to 1 AM last night. This link may expire after a
few days. Tonight's conditions do not appear favorable, as a cold front is moving across South Florida and is stalling out.
Good News For Red Knots
This press release appeared on Jersey Birds. The Governor supports the bill and will sign it into law. This legislation was not really "for the birds," as it was the economic impact of avitourism that outweighed the loss of seasonal income of a few bait fisherman. It was a choice between a "multi-million dollar wildlife watching tourism industry" or a "few thousand dollars" revenue from permits.
Press Release (Excerpted)
Trenton, NJ: New Jersey legislators overwhelmingly passed legislation to
save the Red Knot and other shorebirds from extinction. The legislation
will protect the critical shorebird food supply - Horseshoe Crab eggs - by
banning the harvest of Horseshoe Crabs in NJ. The bill now moves to the
desk of Governor Jon Corzine who has been a strong proponent for
conservation of the Red Knot and horseshoe crab.
"New Jersey is part of an intercontinental community that shares the
responsibility to sustain migratory shorebirds like the Red Knot by
preserving their vital food source," said Assemblyman John McKeon (D).
"It is outrageous that we would allow these ancient species to be driven to
extinction when the ability to halt their decline is so readily at our
grasp."
The legislation cleared the Assembly on Thursday, March 10 by a vote of
70 to 6 and the Senate on Monday, March 17 by a vote of 39 to 0.
"New Jersey plays a vital role in the centuries-old relationship between
Horseshoe Crabs and Red Knot birds," said Senator Joseph Vitale (D).
"Without the ability of the Red Knot to feed on our state's beaches along
their journey from South America to the Arctic, their numbers will continue
to shrink adding to their eventual extinction. We have a sacred obligation
to save these species and an immediate opportunity to do so."
Red Knots, a robin-sized shorebird, come to the Delaware Bay each spring
after flying non-stop from Brazil. Knots rely on a superabundance of excess
horseshoe crab eggs to nearly double their body weight in less than 2 weeks,
before flying non-stop to their breeding grounds in the Arctic.
'"New Jerseyans are proud of the Garden State's natural heritage," said
Senator Robert Gordon (D). "We need to take swift action to ensure
the Red Knot can be enjoyed by future generations on the Bayshore
instead of history books."
Due to the reckless overharvest of horseshoe crabs and a subsequent rapid
decline of their eggs, the Red Knot population has plummeted from over
100,000 to only 14,800 currently wintering in Tierra del Fuego, at the
southern tip of South America.
"Over twenty leading scientists from four continents agree that the Red Knot
is facing imminent extinction unless we take strong measures to secure their
food supply," said Assemblyman Douglas Fisher (D). "Conservation is
critical to the economy of the Garden State. Each year thousands of
wildlife watchers descend on the Delaware Bay to view shorebirds
contributing millions of dollars to local businesses."
"The Delaware Bay, home to the largest horseshoe crab population and
one of the largest shorebird assemblages in the world, is our Serengeti," said
Eric Stiles, Vice President of Conservation at NJ Audubon Society. "We
applaud the successful efforts of legislators to secure this treasure and ensure
we don't cook the golden goose by destroying a multi-million dollar wildlife
watching tourism industry."
"The legislature has really stepped up to protect the natural resources of
the Delaware Bay," said Tim Dillingham, Executive Director, American
Littoral Society. "This action will help pull the Red Knot back from the
brink of extinction."
"We commend the legislature to overturn the outrageous act of the NJ
Marine Fisheries Council taking special interests over the public interest,"
said Jeff Tittel, Executive Director, Sierra Club - New Jersey Chapter.
"For a few thousand dollars worth of permits you can no longer destroy
an entire species and an ecosystem."
The Delaware Riverkeeper Maya van Rossum commented that "the
legislators saw the clear and compelling need to protect this vital natural
treasure. I commend the strong bi-partisan support and leadership."
"The action of the New Jersey legislature to protect the Red Knot is the
only responsible course," said Darin Schroeder, American Bird
Conservancy's Executive Director for Conservation Advocacy. "New
Jersey is demonstrating real leadership, doing what other states and
the federal government should be doing. Conserving horseshoe crabs
gives the Red Knot a chance to rebound."

Mass Attorney General Sues National Addiction Treatment Center Chain
October 20, 2020 October 20, 2020 editor	addiction treatment center, CleanSlate Centers, lawsuit, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey, Massachusetts Attorney General office, MassHealth, Medicaid program, Totall Wellness Centers
Share, email, print, bookmark SOURCE reports.
The following is a press release from the Massachusetts Attorney General's office submitted to SOURCE media.
BOSTON – Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey announced today, October 20, her office has sued a national addiction treatment center chain for submitting millions of dollars in false claims to the state's Medicaid program, known as MassHealth, for urine drug tests that were medically unnecessary and violated federal and state self-referral laws because they were performed at the company's own laboratory.
The AG's Office filed the complaint in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts under the Massachusetts False Claims Act against Total Wellness Centers, LLC, CleanSlate Centers, Inc., and CleanSlate Centers, LLC (collectively, "CleanSlate"), and former company owner Dr. Amanda Louise Wilson.
"This company's business model was to illegally profit by cheating our state Medicaid program, which provides vital health care resources to some of our most vulnerable residents," said AG Healey. "We will take legal action against this kind of misconduct in order to recover funds for our state and protect the integrity of MassHealth."
CleanSlate was based in Northampton before it relocated its headquarters to Tennessee. The company owns and operates many office-based opioid treatment centers in Massachusetts and around the country, where individuals receive medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders. Locations in Massachusetts include Athol, Boston, Falmouth, West Springfield, and Worcester. CleanSlate also owns and operates an independent clinical laboratory in Holyoke where it performs tests of clinical specimens for its patients.
The AG's lawsuit alleges that CleanSlate required patients, depending on their stage of treatment, to submit to a variety of qualitative and quantitative urine drug tests, some of which were medically unnecessary. The AG's Office also alleges that CleanSlate and Dr. Wilson caused false claims to be submitted to MassHealth and its contracted managed care entities for these unneeded tests, which violate medical necessity requirements under MassHealth regulations.
The AG's complaint also alleges that the company's policies, which directed clinicians at CleanSlate to refer laboratory work to its own Holyoke laboratory, violate federal and state self-referral statutes. Dr. Wilson owned both the clinic and lab in Massachusetts and developed the policies directing the self-referrals.
The self-referral law, originally proposed by the AG's Office, prohibits referrals between clinical laboratories and any entity with a direct or indirect ownership interest in the laboratory and vice versa. State law also prohibits a laboratory from testing any specimen received from an entity with an ownership interest in the laboratory.
These allegations were originally made in a case filed in April 2017 under the whistleblower (or qui tam) provision of the False Claims Act. The act permits private parties to sue for fraud on behalf of the government, and it also permits federal and state governments to intervene in such actions, as Massachusetts has done in this case, which is captioned U.S. et al. ex rel. Wendy Welch v. CleanSlate Centers, Inc., et al.;Civil Action No. 17-CV-30038-MGM (D. Mass.).
This matter is being handled by Managing Attorney Kevin Lownds, Assistant Attorney General Gregoire Ucuz, Senior Healthcare Fraud Investigator Steven Pfister, and Investigator William Welsh, all of the AG's Medicaid Fraud Division, with substantial assistance from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Inspector General.
The AG's Medicaid Fraud Division receives 75 percent of its funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under a grant award. The remaining 25 percent is funded by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Q: People / Group column looping through nested data I am using Javascript / Jquery to pull list data.  One of the fields is Author, which is a group / people field that allows for multiple users.  I get the data, and I test if there is data in the column then I loop through and append it to a table cell, the problem is how I gather it, I see what its doing, its going thru all the items.  I don't know how to correct it though.
    //PRIMARY LIST DATA
    var dat=data.d.results;
//LOOPING THROUGH ALL OF THE DATA

THE ELECTION ON NOVEMBER 6 gives us an opportunity not only to participate in the democratic process, but also to provide guidance to our leaders and help set our nation's priorities. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, National Wildlife Federation does not endorse, support or oppose candidates for public office. However, to help you make informed decisions, we are providing unbiased information on the positions of the two major presidential candidates (those who receive more than 10 percent support in national opinion polls).
We offered both candidates the opportunity to answer the same questions on key conservation issues, and we asked them to limit each reply to no more than 200 words. Governor Romney's campaign advised that it would not respond because it could not provide any answers by our deadline; however, see below for his published information—unedited by NWF—about his proposed energy and environmental reforms. Following are President Obama's unedited responses.
NWF: Please describe a personal experience or motivation that has shaped the way you value wildlife and America's great outdoors.
Obama: I still remember traveling up to Yellowstone as a child, coming over a hill, and suddenly there were just hundreds of deer. I remember seeing bison and Old Faithful for the first time. That trip gave me a sense of just how immense and how grand this country was, and how diverse it was. It gave me a sense of just what it is that makes America special. When I went back to Yellowstone with my daughters, I was not only thinking about their first impression of this wonder, but I was also remembering back to when my grandmother and my mother had shown me this amazing landscape and this amazing country so many years before. That is part of what I believe we have to fight for. We have to make sure that we can bequeath this gift of nature to the next generation. I promise to do everything I can to help protect this amazing planet that we love and this great country that we've been blessed with.
NWF: What steps will you take to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that are contributing to climate change?
Obama: Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of this generation, and we have to meet this challenge by driving smart policies that lead to greater growth in clean energy generation and result in a range of economic and social benefits. Since taking office I have developed historic fuel efficiency standards that set limits on greenhouse gas emissions from our vehicles for the first time in history. My administration has made unprecedented investments in clean energy, proposed the first-ever carbon pollution limits for new fossil-fuel-fired power plants, and helped lower the government's own carbon emissions. The U.S. is importing an average of 2.6 million fewer barrels of oil every day, and our dependence on foreign oil hit a 16-year low. We are also showing international leadership on climate change, reaching historic agreements with both developed and developing countries to reduce emissions. I will continue these efforts to create an economy built to last—investing in clean energy, holding polluters accountable, and reducing the harmful emissions that contribute to climate change.
NWF: Federal investments in protecting wildlife, clean air and water, and public lands help boost the nation's economy and represent just 1 percent of overall federal spending, but have suffered severe budget cuts recently in Congress. Conservation investments boost our economy, and America's outdoor-recreation industry supports more than 6 million jobs and $49 billion in federal tax revenues. Will you work to restore these federal investments?
Obama: I am committed to protecting our natural resources while creating jobs, preserving habitats, and ensuring that future generations can enjoy our nation's outdoor heritage. We are taking important steps to restore treasured landscapes that support recreation across the country. We are making the largest investment in the Great Lakes in two decades, and are helping restore tens of thousands of acres in the Everglades. We are directing additional funding to Gulf Coast restoration to address the decades-long decline in its coastal ecosystems and help improve the natural resources and economy, impacted by the Deepwater Horizon spill. We are restoring wetlands and fish habitats in ecosystems across the country, including the Upper Mississippi River basin, Chesapeake Bay, and California Bay-Delta. My administration has fought to protect the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which is helping to implement conservation practices on more than 2 million acres of land. These conservation actions protect our cherished natural resources and help restore habitat, open more lands for hunting, fishing and other recreation, and bolster local economies across the country, which is good for communities today, and generations down the line.
NWF: What steps will you take to enhance the protection of America's public lands—from national parks and forests to wildlife refuges and Bureau of Land Management lands—for this and future generations?
Obama: We've got to protect the places that help define who we are as a nation. Places that help attract visitors and create jobs, but that also give something to our kids that is irreplaceable. One of the first laws I signed after taking office was one of the largest expansions of protected wilderness in a generation, protecting more than a thousand miles of rivers and millions of acres of landscapes across the country, and establishing new national parks and trails. And two years ago, we kicked off the America's Great Outdoors initiative to support conservation projects happening in all 50 states. I've designated new national monuments at Fort Monroe and Fort Ord, an action that will not only preserve national landmarks, but help to create jobs and grow the local economy. And my administration is expanding access to public lands so that more Americans have access to spaces where they can cast a rod or teach their children how to hunt. I am committed to ensuring that our public lands and federal treasures are here for all Americans to enjoy our shared national heritage.
NWF: What will you do to ensure the continued health and recovery of the Great Lakes and other water resources in this country?
Obama: I am committed to ensuring that our nation's vast natural resources are used responsibly, and that we maintain healthy oceans and coasts. We kicked off the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the largest investment in the Great Lakes in two decades, which is targeting ecological problems such as invasive species, toxic hot spots, polluted runoff from farms and cities and declining wildlife habitat. We are also working tirelessly on an unprecedented effort to halt the spread of Asian carp, which are threatening the Great Lakes ecosystem. Around the country, we have created or enhanced more than 540 public coastal recreation access sites, protected more than 54,000 acres of coastlines and restored over 5,200 acres of coastal habitat. And we are working to ensure the integrity of the waters Americans rely on every day for drinking, swimming and fishing, by supporting initiatives that restore our rivers and watersheds. These investments are revitalizing communities and economies by improving water quality, encouraging water efficiency, and restoring rivers and critical watersheds.
NWF: Research shows that children today spend an average of just seven minutes in unstructured outdoor play in nature each day, compared with seven and a half hours each day in front of an electronic screen, yielding harmful impacts to their health. What efforts will you undertake to help reverse this trend?
Obama: Countless Americans enrich their lives and their health by getting active. I am proud of Michelle's "Let's Move" initiative. As of this month over 3,800 schools were going the extra mile to promote physical activity and healthy eating and hundreds of communities across America have signed up for Let's Move Cities and Towns. Through this program, local leaders are bringing "Let's Move!" to their community and making commitments that make their communities healthier, including increasing the number of safe places for families to play and supporting expansion of playgrounds. As kids become more active, we are increasing their options for outdoor activities. My administration has been working to revitalize a new generation of urban parks, increasing access to open spaces in urban areas. We launched an initiative to increase access to and use of national parks, expand programs that use public lands as outdoor classrooms, and employ thousands of youth to protect and restore our environment and communities. We're helping to provide children with access to the outdoors and encouraging hands-on learning about nature and conservation. And there is still more that can be done. We need to continue promoting physical activity, and making the outdoors an accessible tool for education and recreation.
NWF: In light of recent onshore and offshore spills into waters such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Yellowstone River and the Kalamazoo River, what steps will you take to ensure safer and more responsible development of oil and gas?
Obama: I am committed to making sure that domestic production of natural resources like oil and gas is done in a safe and responsible manner that protects the environment and human health. In response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, we launched the most aggressive and comprehensive reforms to the safety and environmental regulations governing offshore drilling in U.S. history, improving oversight, and putting in place commonsense new safety requirements to prevent a similar disaster from happening again. Heightened safety requirements and considerations are being carefully integrated into all decisions being made about expanded drilling. While some in Congress are irresponsibly advocating for opening up offshore drilling on all U.S. coasts without the proper environmental assessments or infrastructure to respond to spills in place, my administration is working toward a balanced and careful approach to development that accounts for resource potential, environmental concerns, and the social, cultural, and subsistence needs of local communities.
"As president, Mitt Romney will make every effort to safeguard the environment, but he will be mindful at every step of also protecting the jobs of American workers. This will require putting conservative principles into action.
"Significant Regulatory Reform: The first step will be a rational and streamlined approach to regulation, which would facilitate rapid progress in the development of our domestic reserves of oil and natural gas and allow for further investment in nuclear power.
"Increasing Production: The United States is blessed with a cornucopia of carbon-based energy resources. Developing them has been a pathway to prosperity for the nation in the past and offers similar promise for the future.
"Research and Development: Government has a role to play in innovation in the energy industry. History shows that the United States has moved forward in astonishing ways thanks to national investment in basic research and advanced technology. However, we should not be in the business of steering investment toward particular politically favored approaches. That is a recipe for both time and money wasted on projects that do not bring us dividends. The failure of windmills and solar plants to become economically viable or make a significant contribution to our energy supply is a prime example.
Take the pledge: This year vote wildlife-friendly!

"Old-fashioned brown gravy. Made from meat drippings."
I have never had problems making gravy in the past, but this just didn't work. It wouldn't thicken, and was very bland, even with A LOT of salt and pepper.
Pretty good! Definitely needed seasoning, but easy and tasty.
This is a good recipe, but it needed some salt and pepper. I used beef stock in place of water for a richer flavor.


The Titans announced Wednesday that secondary coach Marcus Robertson and assistant secondary coach Curtis Fuller will not return in 2012.
"I want to thank Marcus and Curtis for their time here," head coach Mike Munchak said in a statement on Wednesday. "After meeting with the coordinators over the last couple of days, we decided to make this move today. Letting Marcus go was not an easy thing. He spent so many great years with this organization as a player, front office employee and a coach.
A two-time All-Pro safety who spent ten seasons with the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans before returning as an assistant secondary coach in 2007, Robertson spent 19 seasons with the organization prior to his dismissal.
Fuller is also a former NFL player (Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers, Carolina Panthers) who joined the Titans in 2011 after working as a special teams assistant with the Packers and Oakland Raiders.

Owning a castle in the idyllic countryside may seem like a fairytale of old to many, but, for the Earl of Erne and his son Viscount Crichton, it's a very modern story of struggling finances and family responsibility. Their family home of Crom Castle in Northern Ireland has been the ancestral seat of the Crichtons for more than four hundred years. As the only boy in a family of five children, John (Viscount Crichton) will one day inherit the castle from his father, Lord Erne. Keeping the Castle follows how father and son face the ever-increasing challenge of maintaining their family home and heritage in increasingly difficult times, including how John juggles his busy life in London with his responsibilities at Crom, which include helping put on weddings and providing the location for the BBC TV series Blandings.


You've been planning night and day, and finally you've created the perfect trap! Now all you need to do is wait. Is this the year you'll finally catch the leprechaun? Start a St. Patrick's Day tradition with this fun and lively children's book.
It's tougher than you think!
He'll turn your whole house upside down.
He's quicker than a wink!
You're a kid on a mission, an all consuming mission for one day a year. That mission....Catch a Leprechaun. They're wily, they're sneaky, they're pranksters, and they are determined to not be caught!
How to Catch a Leprechaun is a holiday book full of fun and laughs. I recently read it to a room of girls (ages 6-9) and they all thought it was the funniest book ever. They laughed out loud, especially when that clever leprechaun turns the toilet green. They shouted out when they realized that the pages rhyme and they spent the next hour talking about leprechauns and how they would catch one themselves. I am certain I sent them home to their families with plans forming and an evening full of laughter and glinting eyes. I am hopeful that this morning when they woke up their traps caught more than their unsuspecting parents.
This is a great read for pre-school ages up to I'd say about third grade and would be wonderful as a big book for a classroom so all the students get the pleasure of seeing the fun happening right before them. For classroom/home activities this would be a great book to use in encouraging the youngest 'readers' to problem solve, practice engineering skills, and most importantly to let their imaginations run wild and fill your classroom/house with laughter.
Adam Wallace is an author and cartoonist who loves writing and drawing ... this is lucky ... because he's an author and cartoonist who writes and draws!
Adam's passion is to bring excitement and energy and humour and joy to children (of all ages!) through his books and videos.
He spends his non-writing time thinking about writing and going to as many live music shows as he can. He's also teaching himself piano, and is about to take on the ukulele as well.
Adam's books include inspiring novels (The Pete McGee series), How to Draw books (Rhymes with Art), gross short stories (The Better Out Than In series), and funny, hilarious, crack-you-up books (Jamie Brown is NOT Rich).
My name is Andy Elkerton, and I'm a children's book illustrator living in Oban on the west coast of Scotland.
I specialise in bright, colourful illustrations for picture books, advertising, t.v. and character design.
After many years working in the field of computer games, I decided to go back to my illustrative roots and do what I'd always wanted to do…draw children's books.
I'm so glad to hear you liked the book.
Also...because I know you're a big fan of Scottish Cattle...you'll be able to see a couple of Heilan' Coos too, if you have a root around my picture albums.
