The recent Repco Rally was so bad it turned Tweed Valley banana farmer/GP into a No Rally Group member. Here is her submission for the Review of the Motor Sports (WRC) Bill 2009. Anyone who accuses protestors of being 'green, hippie tree-huggers' should read this highly intelligent and shocking account of what happened on her street during the rally. Many anti-rally protesters are professionals just like her (teachers, writers, business people, film makers, artists, farmers, politicians) and their voices need to be heard.
In a Media Release, Katie Milne the one Tweed Shire Councillor who stood steadfastly with her community against the invasion of her region by the environmentally destructive World Rally race last weekend, demanded to know why Repco Rally organiser Garry Connolly allowed media vilification of anti-rally protestors to escalate for nearly a week knowing that allegations that anti-Rally protestors had thrown rocks at cars to be false. In the meantime, accounts of attacks against protestors by Rally supporters, including the hurling of projectiles, went unreported by the newsmedia.

Tweed Shire Koala population decline being addressed by council?
At the last meeting of Tweed Shire council on 21 July, a raft of motions by Cr Katie Milne were unanimously approved by council. However, the question is will it be enough to save Tweed koalas when just over the border in SE Qld koalas are in fact critically endangered according to the Australian Koala Foundation? If Events NSW has their way this September Repco Rally will organise 100 competing cars tearing at top speed through koala colonies and rural habitat in breeding season destroying any chance of a meaningful Koala Recovery Plan being implemented in the future.

An online petition has been started following the NSW state government passing "special events" legislation to enable Repco Rally Australia to go ahead.
The enabling legislataion foreshadowed on 29 May by NSW State development Minister Ian Macdonald has been introduced to parliament.
Who put the CON in Consultation?
Local community groups in the Tweed Valley and Kyogle are outraged at their treatment by Repco Rally Australia and their consultants who prepared a crucial report supporting a planned car rally in the area in September.

FEARS that the NSW Government is about to override council planning powers to approve the world championship car rally heightened yesterday as hundreds of protesters marched against the event.
Police escorted about 300 protesters, some in cardboard mock-ups of rally cars and some dressed as koalas, wallabies or other animals which they said would be put at risk by rally cars on rural roads, through Murwillumbah.

There is a Simpson's episode where a "snake oil salesman" comes to Springfield promoting something or other. The actual thing they are promoting is useless, worthless and does not work ... BUT ... they do a nice song and dance routine and as a result captivate the community leaders. Sound familiar??? It does to us in the Tweed valley and Kyogle areas. Talk about life imitating art!!!
Repco Rally Australia spin merchants have outdone themselves in the last few days. Not only have they spun their web of deceit around the NSW state government and the Tweed Shire Council they have now caught themselves in their own web by posting comments from their "independent" ecological consultant that he did not say. They were caught out very publicly on ABC local radio yesterday.

Repco Rally Australia releases reports "in stages"

In August 2008 the Tweed Shire Administrators, as one of their last decisions while running the Council, decided to provide financial and other support to Repco Rally Australia for their proposed car rally in the Tweed Valley. Recently, the details of that decision are being rewritten by newly elected councillors and the General Manager.
Tweed Shire residents packed the council chambers on May 5th, 2009 to hear the verdict on the Development Application for Nightcap Village (south of Uki, NSW) which has been strongly contested for the last 5 years. The results were nothing short of shocking for us all…one more bullet in the coffin of democracy.

After much delay (didn't they realise it rains here????) the Development Application for the planned car rally in the Tweed and Kyogle areas in September this year seems likely to be submitted to the councils in the next week (unless further delayed by acts of God or Brian).
The video posted to You Tube has had to be removed because I received a copyright infringement notice.
We have taken the promo video put on You Tube by the rally organisers and turned it into a more realistic rendition of what the rally really means for the Tweed Valley.
Update: The video has been removed by YouTube because the organisers of the World Rally races have claimed that it breaches their copyright. If it does breach copyright, they, nevertheless, could hardly complain that the removed video provides a less accurate depiction of how the rally will turn out than their own. - JS, 23 Apr 09.

Residents of Kingscliff on the far north coast of NSW are fighting to prevent Jack Baylis Park, on their foreshore, being turned into a "pits area" to service cars participating in races planned by Rally Australia for Tweed and Kyogle Shires in September this year.

Taylor Swift: Overhyped?
By Eden Nath
The infamous Taylor Swift has stolen people's hearts ever since her debut as a 17-year-old country artist. She's come a long way in her music career, and her fame hasn't died down- in fact, it's growing. Like every other celebrity with fame, she has her haters; I personally know lots of people who haven't really listened to any of her music, who believe that she's not a good artist, or who believe she's overhyped. But I believe the exact opposite, and before you come at me, hear me out.
Swift is hands-down the most amazing lyricist I have ever listened to; she's a poet and her verses are her incredible song lyrics. Some excerpts from her newer songs include, "Long limbs and frozen swims/You'd always go past where our feet could touch" (Marjorie, 2020), "Boys will be boys, then/Where are the wise men?" (Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince, 2019), "You showed me colours you know I can't see with anyone else" (Illicit Affairs, 2020), and many more! Honestly, you have to listen to her songs to truly hear how great of a writer she is. Almost all of Swift's songs tell a story, which makes them engaging and thought-provoking along with being melodically pleasing. To find an artist that can sing, write, play piano, and play guitar is relatively rare, and her understanding of music as an art form makes her stand out.
She is, after all, Taylor Swift. Even her least popular songs have reached enviable levels of notoriety. Based on the total number of songs streamed on Spotify, Swift is the 2nd most streamed. This is linked to her rising fame on TikTok and her recent short film featuring Dylan O'Brien and Sadie Sink, which has given her a greater base of teenage listeners. I'm ecstatic that people are coming to recognize the amazing artist that Swift is, even though it took some of them a while.
Regardless of the music she is releasing, Swift is a great person. I admire her for being honest with the world about her beliefs instead of hiding them, as many artists do to avoid controversy. In Swift's 2021 documentary, a Netflix original titled "Miss Americana", she discusses her political views and how her manager and friends encouraged her not to mention these views on social media. Nevertheless, she spoke of her contempt of Donald Trump's actions and expressed her complete support of the LGBTQ+ community. Swift is honest about how she feels and about her political views, no matter what backlash she may get.
Let's face it, Taylor Swift is an amazing lyricist, person, and artist in general. All I ask is that before you dislike an artist who is as incredible as her: please, listen to a few of their albums first! Some of my favourite albums of hers are Red, Lover, Fearless, Folklore, Evermore- and, let's face it, all of them. If you want to listen to what I believe to be some of her best, yet underrated, pieces, listen to "Paper Rings" (Lover), "The Man" (Lover), "Illicit Affairs" (Folklore), "The 1" (Folklore), "The Last Great American Dynasty" (Folklore), "I Almost Do" (Red), "Wonderland" (1989), and "Mine" (Speak Now). I will leave you with these few suggestions for now. And if you enjoy these suggestions, I recommend you take a day off and listen to all of her songs. Taylor Swift is an amazing, underrated artist who deserves every single one of her fans and more. I ask that you give great artists a try and don't spread hate, because even if you may dislike an artist, your friends might not feel the same way.

There are just some sneakers that have a timeless appeal and should always be in rotation when it comes to styling casual looks. Although some of these footwear options may vary in price, you find comfort in knowing you are rocking sneakers that have continue to remain a fashion must have no matter what the current trend may be. Here are few options worth investing in.
The 1980's is making a serious comeback in the fashion world. However, these iconic Adidas looks are just the same as the day they made them. Musical superstars made the footwear brand extremely popular showcasing the rubber shell toe sneaker in endless color combinations. Another popular and timeless design from the brand is The Stan Smith collection. The design is straightforward and clean which is probably why it has remained so popular over the years.
Once again an iconic sneaker from the 1980's continues to capture the attention of consumers. The Air Jordan 1 has a casual sporty appeal that can give most looks the right amount of edge with a laid back feel. From the hip-hop community to hipsters, you can find this sneaker be worn everywhere to this day.
Next to the Air Jordan, the Air Force One might be the most iconic Nike sneaker that includes the well-known Swoosh. Over the years the design has been updated to include a multitude of colors and designs. However, ]the monochromatic white-on-white seems to remain a crowd favorite. The clean and casual construction of the sneaker is ready for just about any and every situation.
The Puma classic is one of the brands most basic designs that has been a longstanding cornerstone of the Puma brand. The suede sneaker is offered in an array of colors and affordable making it easy to stock up on this iconic piece.
It doesn't get more simple than the Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers. No bell and whistles with this vintage option, which is part of the appeal. These sneakers debuted in the early 1900's and have been around ever since.

You have and you are unlimited energy!
Your prayers have been answered by the ideas you receive - those inspirations to start a new business, write a book, explore a new healing modality, work with a charity, help children, improve your diet, and so forth. Always, a Divinely Guided idea is about helpfulness.
The next step is to pray about how to put those ideas into action. You receive thoughts, feelings, and visions that guide you step-by-step in the best direction. To do this, though, you need energy, motivation, and confidence. Fortunately, prayer provides for everything you need . . . including energy.
God IS energy. And God's Holy Spirit, who lives in you, is energy. Therefore, you have unlimited energy within you always. You can tap into this vital energy Source now and always.
In 1996, I was guided to stop drinking caffeine, because the artificial energy source was a poor and unreliable substitute for the real energy Source, God. And it's true!
Sometimes though the ego tries to distract or delay us from taking Divinely guided action. The ego whispers that we don't have enough time, energy, knowledge, money, or other resources. Let's not allow the ego to thwart God's will working through us!
Here's a helpful prayer: Dear God, the Source of all that is good and the Provider of all that we need - please help me to directly connect with you! Please clear away distractions and interference so that I can enthusiastically take action as you guide me to do so.
My Archangel Raphael Guidance App is available at the iTunes and Android app stores.
I draw and post cards daily after I first pray about and tune-in to the current world energies which affect us all. You can give yourself a free card reading at: angeltherapy.com/oracle-cards.
One thing that I've learned in my life, is that it's necessary to ask for help. There's this belief that it's weak to ask for help, or that you'd be bothering someone, or that no one would help anyway so why bother to ask.
1. Myth: It's weak to ask for help. Truth: It's a sign of strength, self-care, and confidence to ask for help. Whether it's asking for crowd-funding to start your business; asking a publisher to publish your book; asking your kids to help with housework; or asking your best friend to listen to your feelings - we all need help.
2. Myth: You're bothering people when you ask them for help. Truth: People enjoy giving and helping, especially if you show appreciation.
3. Myth: No one would say yes to your requests for help, so why bother asking. Truth: If you don't have helpful generous people in your life right now, pray that God sends them to you! We all need relationships with helpful people, but it starts with us being open to meeting and developing friendships with people who are nice, caring, and open-hearted. You deserve healthy relationships - we all do!
Most of all, these myths and truths apply to your relationship with asking God for help - and accepting help. Many prayers are answered by God sending angels to assist you, and that includes helpful people who offer to help.
Your beautiful life purpose, your radiant health, your happy family life, and so much more - all benefit from you asking for and accepting help.
Here's a helpful prayer: Dear God, Why am I so reluctant to ask for help? I literally need your help in asking for help. Please loosen my fears about asking for and accepting help, so that I may work in a steady partnership of giving and receiving. In Jesus name.
and for pre-order at bookstores.
Here are the answers you seek.
Although it seems that life can throw us curveballs, and that the world is random - there really IS an orderliness to life that can help us to relax and trust in the flow of life.
This beautiful painting of Jesus symbolizes the key: taking quiet time to tune-in and listen. God gives us continual GPS-like navigation about what direction to take, and if we follow this guidance, we stay in the flow.
Over the years, I've interviewed thousands of people who told me how their lives were saved because they listened to God's inner voice. My prayer is that you make quiet time for listening and contemplation - it's so essential to getting answers about our why, what, and how questions.
Hearing God is as natural, easy, and simple as breathing - but we must create the atmosphere for it to happen. And when we listen to and follow our divine guidance, we experience the divine order that keeps us safe, healthy, fulfilled, and happy.
May you enjoy quiet moments of peaceful contemplating with God today and everyday.
Here's a helpful prayer: Dear God, I dearly want to hear your answers and guidance, but sometimes I don't know how to do so. Please give me the strength to quiet my mind, so that I can feel and hear your loving presence. I want to trust and follow you Lord, but I need your help.
You're a leader . . . even if it doesn't feel that way.
Do you feel like "someone" should make helpful changes to the world, changes which are obvious to you? Do you have ideas which would alleviate problems for people?
When we pray for ways to help the world, God answers by giving us ideas and assignments about how we can be of service. Usually, those of us who are quiet, introverted, and sensitive can more easily hear those divine messages to take action. Yet we may hesitate taking action, because our sensitivity makes us socially awkward. We don't feel confident leading, speaking up, or rallying the troops.
Yet if we don't take action, nothing will change. And that's more painful than risking public ridicule by speaking up.
I remember being bullied in junior high school because I gave a talk at the Sierra Club and wrote articles about how mustangs were being killed because the land was wanted for cattle grazing. The other kids called me weird (and harsher names) for doing this. Looking back, that experience toughened me for the work I do as an adult AND I was able to raise awareness of the mustangs' plight. It was worth it.
A man at my church had a vision, where all of us in the congregation would donate and prepare meals for the homeless. He spoke up, and now we are feeding the hungry! Those who speak up and take action on behalf of the poor and voiceless are angels upon earth!
Here's a helpful prayer: Dear God, please clearly give me a divine assignment as to how I can help with (describe a problem in the world that upsets you). Please motivate, guide, encourage, and support my leadership process, and send the right people to help enact this solution. Thank you for armoring and protecting me as I speak up and take charge as you guide me.

Guilt is the inner process of holding a grudge against yourself, for what you believe you did wrong.
The lower-energy uses guilt as an opportunity to stop or delay you from fulfilling your life purpose, by convincing you that you're not qualified to be a healer, teacher, etc. because of your past. You may even punish yourself because of guilt.
To God, though, mistakes are opportunities to forgive, learn, grow, and develop a closer relationship with your Creator. Everyone makes mistakes. We all do. So it's not about whether you make a mistake. It's what you do afterwards.
The healthy way is to admit your mistakes to God and to yourself. There's this huge relief that comes from admitting them. Then pray for help in forgiving yourself. Pray to learn from the experience so that it's not repeated. And then teach your children and others this process, because guilt is a big worldwide problem that you can help to transform into peace.
It's about taking responsibility for your actions, instead of feeling guilty about the actions.
Here's a helpful prayer: Dear God, Here are the actions that I'm feeling bad about (describe). Please lift me up with your healing forgiveness, and help me to learn from my actions, so that I will make healthier choices from now on.

When a tragedy occurs, such as in Manchester, it triggers deep emotional responses of grief. If you've been previously traumatized, this tragedy can trigger your post-traumatic symptoms. Reading or watching stories about the incident can also bring up symptoms of "secondary PTSD" which I wrote about in "Don't Let Anything Dull Your Sparkle." Undoubtedly you've been praying and sending healing energy to everyone. So be sure to rest if you're feeling drained. Retreat into quiet as much as possible.
Don't isolate yourself from support, though. If you need to talk, please reach out to your support system...especially if you feel tempted to relapse into an addiction or other self-harmful behaviors. Counselors who are trained in treating post-traumatic symptoms are also very helpful. I like the work of the therapists listed at emdr.com.
Be sure to balance all of the giving and caring you're doing, with receiving support and care for yourself. And please keep the faith that there are many many good people on this planet, far-outnumbering those who act in evil ways. And the good people need you and your life purpose!
Here's a helpful prayer: Dear God, Your love heals and restores my heart from brokenness to faith. Here are my shattered feelings - thank you for restoring me. My prayers go out to everyone who is suffering, and I appreciate you helping me as well so that I can help others more effectively.
From the Archangels Oracle Cards at http://bit.ly/ArchangelCards. You can try my cards for free at: angeltherapy.com/oracle.
You can shift your schedule and energy levels, so that you have enough time for your priorities. You have this power. It begins with making a commitment to the importance of your priorities. And knowing that they won't get done on their own.
I've learned that you can accomplish a lot in little increments of time. Most of us don't have several hours to focus upon our priorities. Instead, 10 minutes focused upon our priorities here and there all add up. It also means making a choice of how to spend the present moment - and asking yourself with each activity: How important is this to me?
Another life lesson I've learned about priorities: If it's part of your divine life purpose, the lower energy will try to distract you. All sorts of reasons to not work on your priorities will suddenly appear. You've got to rebuke these distractions and stay strong in your commitment to follow-through.
Priorities can also include rest and other self-care activities. What are your priorities and how do you make enough time for them?
Here's a helpful prayer: Dear God, You can see the whole picture of what's most important, and I ask you to help see this too. Please boost my awareness of using time wisely, and help me learn how to focus upon what is truly a priority.

Three different cards related to answered prayer came up today, with the strong message of blocks being lifted. Hooray!
I love this quote from Proverbs 16:3, because it's SO on point with the message: Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed. Here's how it works: you pray for help; God gives you guidance; you follow that guidance; and everything works out beautifully.
It's only when we stray from following our divine guidance that we run into detours and delays. So the keywords are Pray, Listen, Trust, and Follow. Hashtag: PrayAndWork. We can't just sit and pray, and think God will be like Santa Clause. We have to take the action as He guides us.
We quiet our minds, and keep our minds clear, so we can hear. If you're having difficulty hearing God, create a quiet space. Turn off the electronics, sit somewhere quiet, and listen. Detox also, as it's much easier to hear God while sober. God speaks into your heart, so focus there.
Dear God, You ARE love, wisdom, and all that is wonderful. Thank you for blessing me with your clear guidance, and instilling in me the faith and courage to follow your guidance.
I draw and post cards daily after I first pray about and tune-in to the current world energies which affect us all. You can try my cards for free at: angeltherapy.com/oracleangeltherapy.com/oracle.
The energy is funky today, so you're not alone if you're being affected empathically. When a lot of people feel afraid simultaneously, that fear energy blasts outwardly and can affect highly-sensitive people like yourself, especially if you're feeling tired, emotional, or vulnerable.
Don't listen to the taunts of fear-energy, which thrives upon drama. It's a path that leads you away from your purpose and priorities. Getting twisted into a ball of what-if worries about the future pulls you from the awareness of God's love.
Dear Lord, Please shepherd us all, and lead us safely away from snares or pitfalls. Help us to stay joyfully connected to your voice which calls to us. Help us to replace fear with the faith that you are watching over each of us.
From the Loving Words from Jesus Cards at bit.ly/LovingJesusCards with Greg Olsen.
Taking good care of yourself is part of your life purpose, so that you have enough energy and enthusiasm to take action on your divine guidance. Self-care measures such as getting enough sleep, exercise, healthful food, and abstaining from toxins are important.
And yet...everything in balance. When I was a psychotherapist specializing in treating eating disorders, I had a few clients who were obsessed with self-care, to the point where exercise, and worrying about food choices, were an addiction.
For intellectual self-care: Strive to learn something new each day. Watch educational programs, take classes, read instructive books, listen to teaching audios.
For emotional self-care: Develop and nurture friendships with like-minded and supportive people. Keep your promises to yourself, and forgive yourself and others so that you aren't carrying around old negativity. Get counseling or join a support group if you struggle with addictions.
For spiritual self-care: Pray, pray, pray. Love God with all of your heart, mind, and soul. Read the Bible and attend a supportive church. Volunteer and help others in need. Create quiet time to listen. And please be discerning about who you hang out with, who you pray to, and what you watch or listen to. Follow God's lead always.
Here's a helpful prayer: Dear God, I love you so much! Thank you for guiding and supporting my choices, actions, and decisions in how best to care for myself. I ask for your help in increasing my motivation and confidence in taking care of myself.

'The Handmaid's Tale': What Elisabeth Moss, Ann Dowd and Others Want to See in Season 4 (Exclusive)
Author: Stacy Lambe (ET Online)
Published: 8:54 AM PDT August 14, 2019
Updated: 8:39 AM PDT August 14, 2019
Resistance may have been the theme of season three, but the fight on The Handmaid's Tale is far from over.
Adapted from Margaret Atwood's novel about women forced into child-bearing servitude after the totalitarian society took over parts of the United States, the series has moved far beyond the source material as June (Elisabeth Moss) succeeds in her most defiant act yet: freeing a number of Marthas, handmaids and children from the clutches of Gilead.
Our heroine, however, remains within Gilead's borders, having been shot after distracting the guardians from attempting to stop her plan of getting the women and children into Canada. Despite this huge setback, "June never gives up and she never gives up on what she wants," Moss tells ET's Brice Sander, adding: "I always ask the audience to not give up on her."
The actress, who also serves as an executive producer on the series, admitted that they haven't begun thinking about season four yet, but that she and creator Bruce Miller would be talking very soon "about our feelings about June and everything," she said. "We'll figure it out."
In the meantime, the cast and producers addressed where certain characters stood at the end of season three and revealed their hopes for season four.
June and Janine
While her Mayday mission was a success, June was forced to sacrifice herself. But she was not alone in her fight, Janine (Madeline Brewer), Brianna (Bahia Watson) and Alma (Nina Kiri) also stayed behind alongside her. The three were last seen scooping up June as they trudge through the woods, now fugitives in Gilead.
Though Moss couldn't say anything too specific about June's upcoming journey, she does believe that June's daughter, whose whereabouts with the MacKenzies remains unknown, was the motivation behind her sacrifice. "She's sticking around for Hannah," she says.
Amanda Brugel, who plays June's former Martha, Rita, said there's no series without June in Gilead. "We realized that she has to be there," she says, adding there were different versions of the ending about whether "she was going to make it [or] if she wasn't." Now with a number of key characters in Canada, Brugel says June "has more of a fire and a fight to get Hannah out."
When it comes to Janine, Brewer would like to see the brutalized handmaid take hold of the strength audiences have seen snippets of throughout the series. "She's brave, you know? I like that Janine is always giving us the unexpected," Brewer says, adding that Janine taking action in the Mayday mission was an unexpected move. "I would like to see her really own that [newfound] power."
Rita and the Waterfords
Following an attempt to negotiate Nichole's return beyond Canada's borders, both Waterfords were taken into custody. Fearing a life behind bars, Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) and Fred (Joseph Fiennes) turned on each other. Reflecting on those final moments of deception, Fiennes said that he loved it "because just before that moment there's a real feeling, certainly for Fred, that his wife is connected back with him."
"So to be deceived was a big smack in the face," he continues. "But, you know, as it should happen to all war criminals. They should definitely get their comeuppance." Now seemingly stuck in prison, the actor's only hope is that his cellmate is "not a big burly chap that has predispositions like Christopher Meloni's character [Commander Winslow]."
"Fred and Serena certainly have a lot of stuff to work out in their marriage," Miller adds.
Coincidentally, Rita, the Waterfords' former Martha, is now in Canada. Now that she's free from oppression, Brugel is anticipating that first encounter between Rita and her former rulers. "I really want to see that first, initial conversation with the Waterfords," she says. "I want to see how that conversation goes because we learn that Rita has such an empathetic heart and I'm wondering if it will turn now that she doesn't have to be as empathetic anymore."
Like Emily (Alexis Bledel) and Moira (Samira Wiley), Brugel also thinks that Rita will have some recovering to do and would like to explore that. "[We have] an opportunity to see what happens in Canada [to the] people who have been in oppressive situations -- how they grow and how they survive afterwards," she says.
"I think the show has an obligation to represent an accurate refugee experience because so many of our characters are either trapped or they're going to be refugees," Miller adds. "Those are their only two choices, so you really have to represent that option as a true option of what it's really like."
But Littlefield warned that "just because you are in Canada, [it] doesn't mean you'll stay there."
While the final three episodes focused on June's Mayday mission, several characters' stories remained unseen, including Nick (Max Minghella). In season three, his relationship with June became even more complicated after it was revealed that he was an Eye, a spy for Gilead. He's then promoted to the ranks of commander before being shipped off to the frontlines of Chicago, where Gilead was battling the U.S. over territory.
"I love the Nick-June relationship as much as anyone, if not more," Moss says, while commending the show for not focusing too much on their romance instead of June's fight for freedom. But like fans, she misses Nick. "I think he should come back."
"I don't think I saw enough of him this year either," Miller adds, echoing Moss' sentiment. "Max is such a wonderful actor and we love having him in the show. It's just, you know, you follow June and the flow of that sometimes leads you away from all the stories you want to tell."
For Kristen Gutoskie, who played Beth, a Martha that Nick encountered at the Jezebels before she was placed in Commander Lawrence's household, there's a number of unanswered questions about Nick she'd like to see answered next season. "Like, what's going on with Nick and Beth?" Gutoskie says, adding that she'd like to see the series go deeper into the bigger questions about Gilead: "The ins and outs of the power structure; how it really got started; what the beginning moment was when they actually made this happen. That would be interesting."
Aunt Lydia and Naomi Putnam
As two of the most staunch followers of Gilead, it's no surprise that Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) and Commander Putnam's wife, Naomi (Ever Carradine), continue to live under the totalitarian society's strict rules.
What the escape plan means for Lydia in particular, Dowd isn't so sure. But she points to episode eight, when audiences learned about her past before Gilead. "She was a teacher; she loves children. She's not there to squash who they are; she wants to know who they are," she says. "I think her huge attachment to religion and all that goes with it is a complicated thing."
Meanwhile, Carradine wouldn't mind exploring Putnam's backstory like the show did with Lydia. "She's comfortable in her misery," she says. "Like, I think a state of dissatisfaction and anger is her resting state, so that's where I kind of want to see her pre-Gilead because I'm like, 'Was she just always like that?'"
Season 4 and Beyond
When it comes to season four and beyond, many fans are curious to know if the show has an endgame in mind. The series' plot has gone far beyond what's in the book, though Atwood is writing a sequel set to arrive this fall that could provide additional inspiration and/or material for the writers to build upon.
Ultimately, for Miller, it's about telling June's journey until they run out of ideas. "I always feel like we let her lead us," he says. "At the beginning of the show, I was just shocked that she made it through each episode alive and now she seems to be making it through episodes and getting stuff done… Whatever comes after that is is her next step."
"I definitely have possible endgames in sight, but when they're all going to coalesce into a finished episode and something you can put nicely in the show next to your copy of The Handmaid's Tale, I don't know when that's going to happen," Miller notes, adding: "I'm gonna keep going with it until there's nothing more interesting and there's certainly a ton interesting in it now."
All three seasons of The Handmaid's Tale are now streaming on Hulu.

As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake.


Kathleen Huttenmaier, senior associate in History and Women's Studies, has been at EWU since 1993. She says, "Welcome to History Correspondence, where the primary goal is to provide students with a rich, balanced and thought-provoking treatment of the history of mankind." Students will be encouraged to seek connections among many factors: Political, economic, technological, social, religion and intellectual history. Students will also be encouraged to think about how we all inherited a complex past filled with both notable achievements and failures. Students should understand that historians are continually reinterpreting the past based on the discovery of new evidence. It is expected that when students finish the course work they will have a better understanding of their present world.

We answer that age-old question... What's for Dinner? This week, Molly is taking a your standard pork chop and adding a little sweetness. It's Apple Pork Chops with Stuffing! For more information and this complete recipe, check out SentryFoods.com .


Today, 2MH baked bread using the recipe attached to this post. The children worked together in groups to mix 500g flour, 300ml water, yeast, salt and oil. After kneading and leaving the dough for 10 minutes twice so the bread had time to rise, the children left it for 30 minutes so that it had time to prove. They then made their own special shape out of the dough. After that they left it for another 30 minutes before it went in the oven.
In Science, we are learning about materials. As the ingredients can never go back to the way they were before they were cooked, bread dough makes an irreversible change when heated.
At the end of the day we ate the bread and it was absolutely delicious. Mrs Castle thought it looked as good as if it had bought it from a shop! 2MH worked hard to write about what they did and they all worked well as a team today. Well done, 2MH!

Kamen Rider OOO Super TaToBa Revealed!
Hey, check out these new pics of Kamen Rider OOO Super TaToBa Combo:
No new info, but these are really cool.
Author M.F. CalhounPosted on November 5, 2011 November 5, 2011 Categories MC's postsTags Kamen Rider OOO, Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO Movie Wars MEGAMAX, official, REAL PICS, reveal, Super TaToBa Combo1 Comment on Kamen Rider OOO Super TaToBa Revealed!
Kamen Rider Meteor Revealed!: No need to visit the planeterium, just check out the light show on my belt.
Here it is! The first clear image of Fourze's seond Rider, Kamen Rider Meteor, shown here along with an advertisement for the soon-to-be-released MeteorDriver.
Kamen Rider Meteor will be powered by the Meteor Switch (an unnumbered Astro Switch). And the MeteorDriver looks very similar to the BirthDriver, and it even has a similar functionality to it.
According to previous rumors about the second Rider, Meteor will premiere in the MEGAMAX movie. His name is supposedly "Gray", from the planet Mars, chosen by the Meteor (possibly the one shown in MEGAMAX) and first appears as a transfer student at Amanogawa High.
The current cast list for the movie has this guy, Yoshizawa Ryo, listed for the role of "mysterious transfer student". And if past mystery roles in the Movie Wars are any indication, then Yoshizawa will most likely play Gray/Meteor in the series (if not the movie)
And here we have his personal weapon, the Meteor Galaxy, who function is currently unknown, along with a first look at his bike, which is compatible with the PowerDicer in Launcher Mode. More details on these as the come out.
In the mean time, you can look at Meteor in better detail with this full-body pic:
Ooh, sparkley! He's a walking star map.
Well, that's all I have on Meteor right now. While he's expected to show up in the movie, it's not known when he'll appear in the series, so just kepp checking back in to see what happens.

Kamen Rider Fourze New States: Magnets, Double Rockets, New Switches, and Bigger Heads.
Hey, it looks like Fourze's getting two new States soon, and we've got the pics to prove it. Here's a first look at the upcoming Magnet and Double Rocket States!
First up, the Magnet State:
This is the rumored state with the even-bigger head. It's ctivated by using the #30 Magnet N Switch and the #31 Magnet S Switch at full power in conjunction with the NS MagPhone (pictured below). As you can see, in this state Fourze get's a bigger head, gun turrets on his shoulders (that combine into a big magnet), and the orange Thermo Registyle turns red and blue. Also revealed on this page are the #28 Hand Switch (left leg) and and the #26 Wheel Switch (right leg).
And next we have the Double Rocket State:
This State, which is set to debut in the MEGAMAX movie, is powered by the S-1 Astro Switch, which activates the Super-1 Rocket Modules, which adds a rocket to both arms, and gives Fourze an orange form.
So far it hasn't been revealed how he attains this form, or if it will carry over into the series.
And finally, we have some new Foodroids and new Astro Switches that should come out around the same time:
Here in this new crop of Foodroids we have: Foodroid 04 Holwankof (the hotdog), which uses the #29 Scoop Switch, Foodroid 05 Softonya (the ice cream cone) which uses the #32 Freeze Switch, and Foodroid 06 Nagejaroika (the boxed lunch with the meat kabobs) which uses the #37 Gyro Switch. Quite the menu selection, isn't it? 😛
Anyway, that's all of the new Fourze stuff for now. It anything els pops up, I'll let you know (hopefully, it won't be two dats after the fact).

Clash of the Red Rangers airs this month?!: New plot points please.
Well, this is exciting yet confusing news. According to a new set of Power Rangers timeslot listing for November that were posted on Fuñaroboard, it looks like the Samurai-RPM crossover special "Clash of the Red Rangers" will air this month(!). Specifically, the special is listed as airing on Saturday, November 26th, Thanksgiving weekend.
While there hasn't been any confirmation of this so far, it's seems like this may be the real date. The thing that's confused a lot of people about this revelation is the timing. Assuming that the special is based on the Shinkenger Vs. Go-Onger footage, then this special is taking place almost too early in the story line for it to make sense. For example, what will they do with the fight scene where ShinkenRed fights in Super Shinkenger mode while Go-OnRed is using the Kyoryu Disc to become Hyper Go-OnRed? Or what will they do about Samurai Ha-Oh? Or why hasn't any advertising come out yet? (Funny how Nick seems to constantly plug other specials sometimes for months in advance, and yet these Power Rangers specials seem to just appear). And if they're making their own crossover special sans the Vs. footage, what exactly will they do with it?
Anyway, the scheduling is always subject to change, but we'll keep an eye out to see if any advertising comes out soon. We'll just have to wait and see what they plan on doing.

The 7 Riders were fighting against Foundation X divisions in various countries and gather in Japan to stop his plans! On the other hand, Shotaro and Philip learn about Foundation X's new operation too! Fourze! OOO! W! And the Glorious Seven Riders! The strongest enemy finally appears in the frontlines!
Rem Kanagi: Super evolved life form Mutermite. He hides a horrific real form!
Well, looks like their going to be twists and turns around every corner. Speaking of which, check out this pic:
At some point in the OOO movie, Ankh will use Eiji as his substitute body. As if their partnership wasn't already weird. And with this pic came some info from a recent interview with the movie director, Koichi Sakamoto.
According to Sakamoto, there's been a certain amount of focus on form changes in the movie. OOO, for exapmle, will include all of the major combos, with a few unsued random combos in between, but neither PuToTyra nor BuraKaWani will be used. With W, the memory changes will supposedly be better than they were in the W FOREVER movie, and Fourze's State changes won't be half bad, either.
Speaking of forms, chaecl out these new forms for Fourze and OOO that will appear in the movie:
These are the rumored OOO Super TaToBa combo and Fourze Double Rocket State. Some new info has come uot for the Fourze Double Rocket State, which I will include in a separate post.
Now that we've discussed new forms, let's move onto the new movie Rider, Kamen Rider Aqua.
No real new info on him, but some have pointed out that his design is very heavily based off of the design of Ichigo (Kamen Rider), only with a futuristic design aspect and an aquatic theme.
And with pics of him came a new host of pics from the OOO part of the movie:
And finally, it looks like Fourze second Rider (for the series) will make an appearance in movie as well. Take a look at the new Kamen Rider Meteor:
A lot of new info has come out for this now-confirmed Rider, which will be included in a separate post.
And assuming that this doesn't mess up again, that should be it for MEGAMAX news. If anything else pops up, I'll let you know.

Q: How much faster are airmolecules going when the temperature raise from 15 to 25 degrees C? As far as I know the temperature of the air depends on how fast the airmolecules are moving. But what is the increase of speed (in km/h) of those air molecules?

A: Looking around, the root mean square speed of air at $20$ C is about $500 m/s$, and given that you have $\langle v^2 \rangle \propto \, T$ so that $v_{rms}(T) = \sqrt{\langle v^2\rangle}$ varies with $\sqrt{T}$ then have
$$v_{rms}(15) = v_{rms}(20)\times \frac{\sqrt{15+273}}{\sqrt{20+273}} \approx 496 m/s$$
and
$$v_{rms}(25) = v_{rms}(20)\times \frac{\sqrt{25+273}}{\sqrt{20+273}} \approx 504 m/s$$

A: The speed of sound, which is effectively a measure of how fast particles are moving on average in a gas, is given by:
$$
C_{s}^{2} = \frac{\partial P}{\partial \rho} \tag{1}
$$
where $P$ is the pressure and $\rho$ is the mass density.  For an ideal gas, one can use an adiabatic equation of state such that Equation 1 goes to:
$$
C_{s}^{2} = \frac{ \gamma \ P }{ \rho } \tag{2}
$$
where $\gamma$ is the adiabatic or polytrope index of the gas.  For a monatomic ideal gas, one can use $\gamma = 5/3$ and the ideal gas law for pressure.  Then Equation 2 goes to:
$$
\begin{align}
C_{s}^{2} & = \frac{ \gamma \ n \ k_{B} \ T }{ \rho } \tag{3a} \\
& = \frac{ \gamma \ k_{B} \ T }{ m } \tag{3b} \\
& = \frac{ \gamma \ R \ T }{ M } \tag{3c}
\end{align}
$$
where $n$ is the number density, $k_{B}$ is Boltzmann's constant, $R$ is the gas constant, $T$ is the average temperature, $m$ is the particle mass, and $M$ is the molar mass of the gas.
The Earth's atmosphere at sea level has a molar mass of ~28.9645 g $mol^{-1}$, $R = 8.3144598(48) \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$, we chose $\gamma = 5/3$ (or we could use 7/5 for a diatomic molecule, but it's just a constant), and now we choose temperatures.
The constant factors in front are roughly equal to:
$$
\sqrt{\frac{ \gamma \ R }{ M }} \sim 21.873
$$
so that we can say the speed of sound goes as:
$$
C_{s} \sim 21.873 \ \sqrt{T} \tag{4}
$$
Then for we choose a bunch of temperatures and calculate the corresponding speeds of sound, which are shown in the table below.

Temperature [K] | Temperature [deg C] | Speed [m/s] | Speed [km/h]
-------------------------------------------------------------------
  100.00        |       -173.15       |    218.73   |     878.4
  225.00        |        -48.15       |    328.10   |    1181.2
  273.15        |          0.00       |    361.50   |    1301.4
  288.15        |         15.00       |    371.29   |    1336.6
  298.15        |         25.00       |    377.68   |    1359.6
  625.00        |        351.85       |    546.83   |    1968.6
  900.00        |        626.85       |    656.19   |    2362.3
  2500.0        |       2226.85       |   1093.65   |    3937.1

Note that if we had used $\gamma = 7/5$, the speeds would have changed by a factor of ~0.92 (i.e., decreased by roughly 8%).

Howard S. Cullman (September 23, 1891 – June 29, 1972) was an American civil servant, philanthropist, and board member of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for 42 years, serving as Chairman of the Board for ten years, from 1945 to 1955.

Biography
Howard Stix Cullman was born on September 23, 1891, to millionaire Joseph F. and Zillah Stix Cullman; his grandfather Ferdinand Cullman had been a millionaire in the tobacco business. Cullman graduated from Yale University in 1913.

He worked closely with Austin Tobin, and was considered Tobin's "right-hand man". In 1945, Cullman was elected as Chairman on 9–1 vote. From 1927 to 1969, Cullman was on the Board of the Port Authority.

Cullman was Franklin Delano Roosevelt's treasurer for his New York campaigns.

In 1958, Dwight Eisenhower appointed Cullman Commissioner General, with the rank of Ambassador, for the Brussels World's fair.

Manchester Council
We spent an hour on the street outside a Jobcentre - what we found were people trapped in hardship and wracked with worry about Universal Credit
They were struggling to understand the new benefit Universal Credit, were wracked with worry, and had little optimism about finding a decent job
Beth Abbit
We spent sixty minutes on the street outside Newton Heath Jobcentre, talking to the area's unemployed.
Together, their accounts paint a picture of modern hardship. They tell of how sickness, short and long-term unemployment, skills issues, age and family circumstances have impacted lives.
The benefits system is supposed to make things easier for those who have fallen on hard times and help them back into work.

But each of the people we spoke to felt trapped. They were struggling to understand the new benefit Universal Credit, were wracked with worry, and had little optimism about finding a decent job.
David Tiscoff, 53 - has been a proud worker all his life. But health problems changed his fortunes dramatically.
He was a self-employed driving instructor - until he broke his legs in a car accident 18 months ago, he tells us. Since then he has suffered from osteoarthritis. He's awaiting surgery but says he cannot receive ESA because he has been deemed fit to work.

He currently receives Jobseekers Allowance.
"I'm just here to sign on now," he says. "They sent me on a course in town today but she told me to come back here and tell them she can't find me a job. She told me to tell them I'm not acceptable for the jobseekers' course.
"I worked for the housing department for 20 years and the last 15 I have been self-employed as a driving instructor.
"This is my worst nightmare. I'm skint, sat in the house sick with worry every day."
The hidden 'Manchester slums' - squalor, danger and death in our city's grim private guesthouses
Dave says he has been forced to sell the car he used for teaching because he could no longer afford the tax.
"I've not got a chance," he says. "I shouldn't say it but I hate coming here. I do my job search every opportunity I get. I've worked since I was 14 - I've never been unemployed. I've never signed on until this time."
Gemma Dearlove, 31, from New Moston, is bringing up two young children on her own. She would rather work than be on universal credit, but has no relatives nearby to help her balance motherhood with employment. She told us that now her youngest son is older, she's been told she needs to work up to 25 hours a week.

"It's impossible when I don't have that family support network here," she says. "Realistically I could only work from 1pm - 4pm but I would need to leave at 3.30pm to pick my daughter up from school. How can I get a job within that timeframe? My sister lives down south and my mum lives in Lancaster - I'm on my own. It's impossible.
"It's overwhelming. All I want is what's best for me and my kids. If I could go to work I would, because it would be so much easier than Universal Credit," she says.
"I've never been sanctioned and I do everything to the book. I have to make sure my bills come out on the same day and it doesn't leave me a lot."
A light in the fog of grief - the mum of car crash victim Kavana Taylor is pregnant with a baby boy
Howard hasn't worked since the seventies - at 57, he feels 'like a waste of space'. He's been on Universal Credit for around a month, and has applied for dozens of positions over the last year, but has been told he is not qualified for any of them.
"I've been claiming Universal Credit", Howard says. "Before that I was on Jobseekers Allowance and Employment and Support Allowance.
"They have sanctioned me in the past because they said I didn't do enough job seeking. That was because I'd been looking for jobs on my phone and I couldn't bring it up on the screen to show them. It was sorted out that day but it did cause me stress at the time. It upset me.
"There are lots of websites offering jobs now but if I'm not qualified for them I don't apply for them.
"It makes me feel tiny - like a waste of space.
"I was 17 when I last worked and I'm 57 now. I suppose I don't feel worthy and I don't have confidence to go and get work.
Students planning legal action against University of Manchester for lost teaching time during strikes
"It can be hard to manage on benefits. After rent and bills I'll be lucky if I have £50 left over at the end of the month."
Howard is waiting to hear about a cleaning job with Manchester City Council. If he gets the job it will be the first time he has worked full time in 40 years.
He says: "I'm waiting for a start date to be passed on to me. I'm hoping to get full time hours."
For mum-of-two Joan, 57, £20 a week is the cause of sleepless nights. The home where she raised a family is now subject to 'bedroom tax'. She can't get a smaller place, and is struggling to get the cleaning work she did when her boys were little. She currently claims Jobseekers Allowance - but was today told she will be moved onto Universal Credit. And she's anxious about managing her finances on the new all-in-one benefit, which is paid monthly.
David Tiscoff (Image: Manchester Evening News)
"How I will manage my money is stressing me out. It's the mental stress.
"I already pay the bedroom tax, which is £21 a week for a three-bedroom house. I don't sleep for worrying about it. I want to be moved but there aren't the one-bed places to move to.
"Last time I worked was when my boys were small. I can't get a job now I don't know if it's my age or because I have got no skills. The jobs are not there.
"I've been sanctioned lots of times - once because I missed an appointment which I forgot about and last time because my husband died and I was grieving.
'A freak accident left me in so much leg pain I asked doctors to amputate - and now I've got my life back'
"I pay all my bills and the rest I scrimp and save. I don't have a TV because I can't afford the licence so I read and I listen to the radio."
A DWP spokesperson said: "Universal Credit is a flexible benefit that supports people in and out of work, including people on low incomes and it's succeeding; people are moving into work quicker and staying in work longer than under the old system.
"Payments mirror the way many people in work are paid and while the majority of claimants are comfortable managing their money, we have invested up to £200m in Universal Support, which provides budgeting advice and digital support, delivered by Local Authorities. Benefit advances and direct rent payments to landlords are also available to those who need them."
Moston


Famous all over the world, the tasty and crunchy Amaretti di Saronno, are emblematic of a historic Italian pastry tradition.
The dessert are a variety of Italy's traditional Amaretto cookie which are made with almonds, egg whites and sugar. Amaretti di Saronna were first made in the town of Saronno in the province of Varese, in the northern Italian region of Lombardia during the Renaissance period. They are extremely crispy and crunchy cookies and are known for their characteristically bitter aftertaste, which gives them their name (amaro is bitter in Italian).
They are often enjoyed at the end of a meal, perhaps accompanied by a glass of sweet wine such as the Lombardian Sangue di Giuda DOC, or for with a delicious afternoon tea.
