Housing hearing: "everyone who wants to live in the city should be able to"
by The Northern Times
During a hearing on the state of international student housing in Groningen on Wednesday, students, university leaders and local politicians put their heads together to address the persistent housing shortage. But the ultimate root of the problem is very different depending on who you ask.
Translation by Traci White
A live blog of the hearing provided by Dagblad van het Noorden gave a minute by minute breakdown of the highlights. Jan de Jeu, the vice president of the University of Groningen, opened the hearing on Wednesday and described the lack of international housing as "a recurring annual problem", and called on the municipality to take the lead.
"During the recession, there were not enough new construction projects in the city, so we would like to invite the municipality to invest more energy in ensuring sufficient housing in the coming years", De Jeu said. Bernd Abeling, a member of the Lijst Sterk faction at the Hanze, lamented the presence of the tents at ACLO and said that it was not exactly good publicilty for the city. De Jeu also admitted that in hindsight, setting up tents at Zernike was unnecessary and was not a qualitatively good option for students.
In 2017, a building in the south of the city which has served as an asylum seekers centre was opened to house international students. The building had space for 100 students and has now become an official part of SSH's housing offerings and houses 90 students.This year's temporary housing options were the infamous tents at the ACLO grounds at Zernike, which had space for 90 students, and a hotel boat in the Eemskanaal, which has space for 98 students. There are still 74 students living in temporary housing, including 28 students who moved out of the tents and into a former school at the Metaallaan. The universities intended to provide between 500 and 1,000 short term beds for incoming international students.
Henk Pijlman, the president of the Hanze University of Applied Sciences, told the hearing that he is eager to see the Zernike campus to truly earn the name "campus", complete with housing and more dining options. In response to the statements from the university leadership, Socialist Party faction member Jimmy Dijk pointed out that the academic institutions talk about the need to make good arrangements for housing every year, but questioned how enforceable those arrangements ultimately are.
Groninger Student Union chairperson Jolien Bruinewold went so far as to say that international students are being discriminated against on the private housing market and chastised the Groningen universities for failing to take responsibility for putting students in that position.
When asked if applying a numerus fixus cap to more academic programmes, which also have earlier application deadlines, would help to solve the problem, Pijlman said that it is not so simple. "You can only apply a numerus fixus cap if there is an imbalance in the job market between the number of programme graduates and available jobs. We don't want to start applying too many of these caps because they could make higher education less accessible."
Student faction DAG called for an end to the use of short stay contracts for international student housing. Short stay means that housing has rules more in keeping with hotel rooms than longterm residential rooms and that students cannot live in the room for longer than one year. They also have fewer tenant protections. SSH, the company that provides thousands of rooms for internationals, relies on short stay contracts.
Another fundamental issue pointed out by DAG was the fact that the vast majority of international students in Groningen at this point are degree students rather than exchange, which is what short-stay housing is predicated upon.
Student numbers
A factsheet about student numbers at the University of Groningen said that out of roughly 11,000 first year students, there were around 3,000 international students at the bachelor and master level combined in 2018. Around 1,000 of those students came from Germany, roughly 1,100 came from other EU countries (the European Economic Area), and approximately 800 from non-EU countries. In total, around 25 percent of all students enrolled at the RUG are non-Dutch. At the Hanze University of Applied Sciences, there were 1,454 new international students in the 2017/2018 academic year, which represents around 19 percent of the total student body there.
Alderperson Roeland van der Schaaf seconded the calls for more construction projects to be completed for foreign students in particular, but pointed out that the academic institutions only have official student numbers late in the year. Although students can register in the spring, Dutch and EU students have until a couple of weeks before classes start to officially enrol at Dutch universities. Van der Schaaf also reiterated his proposal to automatically assign housing for international students at the moment they enrol.
Van Der Schaaf points out that if the student populations continue to grow as they have in recent years, "simply building more housing will not be enough." And despite his interest in seeing more housing at Zernike, Hanze president Pijlman stressed that universities are not housing corporations, nor should they strive to be.
As for longer term housing becoming available on the horizon, a document outlining housing locations in the city suggested that 320 more rooms could be realised through containers (permit pending) on the Peizerweg, converting the current Metaallaan units into 60 rooms and the University Guesthouse. Other options being considered include adding more containers at the Antillenstraat and the Zernike Campus
After a short break, RUG vice president De Jeu stated that around 80 percent of student housing in the city is provided through the private market, making it difficult to regulate. One plan which was already in the works was a new covenant among the housing providers, local government and academic institutions to work together on housing rather than passing the buck to each other. Van Der Schaff praised the initiative and said that he hopes that it will provide more security for students and investors alike in the coming years.
However, the parties present at the hearing emphasised that having accurate and timely student number predictions were vital to being able to make any guarantees. The alderperson said that he hopes that the first agreements to that end will be put down on paper by November.
In closing remarks, Koen Marée of DAG pointed out that if more international students begin looking for housing outside of the city and commuting in, they are also entitled to public transport deals that Dutch student enjoy. Van Der Schaaf conceded that living outside the city is a possibility, "but everyone who wants to live in the city should be able to do that."

On the Rocks: Baltimore businessmen in federal crosshairs for massive cocaine conspiracy
Van Smith	Four Years Ago, Maryland crime, Maryland judiciary, Shadow economy	 December 13, 2017 5 Minutes
By Van Smith
Published in City Paper, Dec. 18, 2013
Gerald Lamont Jones of Randallstown is a "self-made entreprenuer [sic] who clearly understands hard work, commitment, and discipline," according to his bodybuilding website, joethebodybuilder.com (pictured). But if federal authorities are correct in the allegations they've recently disclosed about Jones, who owns Gold's Gym in Owings Mills, the Pimlico Motors chain of auto dealerships, and JBL Construction, among other companies, then his entrepreneurial success has a secret ingredient: large-scale cocaine trafficking.
Jones has not been publicly charged with any crimes and has no prior criminal record in Maryland. But on Oct. 28, just days before Jones took second place at the International Drug Free Athletics bodybuilding championships in Ontario, one of his employees, George Sylvester Frink Jr., was charged in Maryland U.S. District Court with possessing 15 kilograms of cocaine while in the parking lot of the nerve center of Jones' business affairs, a small Pikesville office building at 8 Church Lane.
In the ensuing weeks, more details emerged in Frink's case, including court documents implicating Jones. A search-and-seizure warrant affidavit signed Oct. 25 by DEA special agent Robert Blanchard and docketed in the court record on Nov. 12 says that a California drug organization's cocaine shipments to Jones and others came in 24 shipments of between 50 and 60 kilograms of cocaine, 10 shipments of between 50 and 120 kilos, a 150-kilo shipment, and a 200-kilo shipment. That means that, if Blanchard's affidavit is to be believed, Jones and others—the affidavit suggests the bulk of it was bound for Jones—received between 2,050 and 2,990 kilograms of cocaine, eye-popping amounts whose wholesale value comes to about $60 million to $90 million.
The probe is being conducted by DEA and the Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigation Division. Part of Blanchard's 21-page affidavit—which supported an application for a warrant to raid two properties associated with Frink, including 8 Church Lane—describes alleged patterns of money laundering in records of Jones' personal and business banking accounts, which showed 380 cash deposits totaling more than $2.6 million between 2008 and 2012.
Attempts to reach Jones by phone and email were unsuccessful, as were efforts to determine whether he is represented by a criminal defense attorney. Jones' civil attorney, Diane Leigh Davison, who manages legal aspects of many of his business dealings, wrote in an email to City Paper that "I have no comment as I know nothing about any of these allegations."
Blanchard's affidavit dubs Jones' alleged California suppliers the "Lopez-Brascom DTO," short for drug-trafficking organization, and notes its members were indicted in California in 2010. City Paper covered the case ("Bringing It Back Home," Mobtown Beat, Feb. 2, 2011), since it involved Baltimore-bound cocaine and three defendants—Ricky James Brascom, Charles Dwight Ransom Jr., and Darrin Ebron—who originally hailed from Baltimore.
In that case, which involved shipments of 400 kilograms of cocaine and more than $4 million in cash during a six-week period, DEA wiretaps recorded conversations between Brascom and his alleged girlfriend, the actress and singer Drew Sidora Jordan, while Ebron—a star-tied fashion designer and deejay who performed at Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds' 2008 wedding on the island of Bora Bora—claimed his wiretapped conversations were not about drugs but about music-industry work he was doing for Brascom and Ransom's company, Behind Da Scenes Entertainment, which produced the rapper Paypa.
At the time, City Paper determined that Behind Da Scenes was actually Jones' company and that Jones had given two pieces of Baltimore real estate to Ransom in 2007. When reached for comment, Davison said Jones had "has no involvement in or awareness of" the allegations in the "unfortunate" California indictment and explained that "the real estate transactions have no relation to the recent allegations," adding that Jones "has always tried to assist and mentor family and friends in business, and tried to do the same for his former college fraternity brother, Charles Ransom."
While Ebron—convicted and currently in prison, set to be released in 2017—and Brascom—with a 2019 release date—met the same fate, Ransom escaped from a South Carolina jail shortly after the indictment and remained on the lam until his arrest in California in March. He pleaded guilty in September and is scheduled to be sentenced in January. The indicted head of the DTO Heriberto Lopez remains a fugitive, according to Blanchard's affidavit.
The investigation into Frink and Jones began in October and November 2010—just as the California indictment was handed down—when a "cooperating defendant" that Blanchard's affidavit calls "CS1" told DEA agents that he or she "routinely got kilograms of cocaine" from a man named Paul Alexander at "On the Rocks" bar on Liberty Road in Randallstown, and that Frink, who owned the place and was Alexander's cocaine partner, would be present at the meetings. According to business records, Frink's bar was actually On the Roxx, located in the Randallstown Plaza Shopping Center.
CS1's information paled in comparison to that provided by CS2, a "cooperating source" interviewed by DEA agents in February 2011, according to Blanchard's affidavit. The Lopez-Brascom DTO brought hundreds of kilos per month from California to Maryland, CS2 explained, and in 2008, shortly after CS2 introduced Ransom to Lopez, Jones flew to California to meet with them. Ransom told CS2 that Jones was his "partner in the cocaine distribution business."
When the scheme got up and running in 2008, the affidavit continues, Jones allegedly received 10 shipments of 50 to 120 kilograms of cocaine hidden in secret compartments in cars that Jones and Ransom had provided to Brascom and Lopez. The coke-laden cars would then be placed on "tractor-trailer auto-carriers that were destined for Baltimore," the affidavit states, and once the coke was sold, the cars' secret compartments would be filled with cash for shipment back to Brascom and Lopez in California. Then the cross-country circuit would begin again.
But in May 2009, the affidavit continues, after law enforcers stopped a Honda Ridgeline being transported from California to Pimlico Motors' Liberty Road location and seized cocaine, the DTO switched up, opting instead to ship the coke hidden amidst legitimate cargo carried by tractor-trailers.
Other than information provided by the two cooperators, much of Blanchard's affidavit is filled with observations gleaned from surveillance, which circumstantially links Jones to criminal conduct—if the agents' conclusions based on what they saw were accurate.
They noted, for instance, that on July 2 Jones moved items from one vehicle to a minivan in the parking lot of 8 Church Lane, and concluded that "Jones was moving bundles of cash into the minivan, preparing it for transportation out of state to purchase more kilograms of cocaine," since "Jones and his coconspirators in the drug business have a long history of moving drugs and money in this fashion."
While Jones has not been charged, Frink is facing a maximum sentence of life in prison, according to the prosecutor on the case, Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Kay, speaking at a Nov. 21 court hearing. Frink had initially been ordered detained pending trial, but at the hearing he won supervised release after his attorney, Kenneth Ravenell, pointed out that what the government had called Frink's lies—about his employment at Gold's Gym, for instance, and where he resided—were, in fact, true.
"You were given information that was not accurate," Ravenell told U.S. Magistrate Judge Beth Gesner at the hearing, "by a less than stellar investigation."
Jones must be hoping the same is true of the affidavit calling him a high-volume cocaine trafficker.

Controlling Sexuality and Reproduction, Past and Present
Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
Confirmed Keynote Speakers:
Paul A. Lombardo
Dorothy E. Roberts
Sexuality and its effects, as Michel Foucault once claimed, operate as dense transfer points of power relations. As such, states, institutions and citizen groups have been and continue to be deeply concerned with producing an ideal, normative citizenry by controlling sex, sexuality and reproduction.
Certain kinds of sexuality and certain kinds of sexual actors are more likely than others to be policed and contained. In the past and in the current context, marginalized people and practices have been subject to containment, harassment, prosecution or 'correction' in terms of their sexual and reproductive lives.
These practices have included the classification or sorting of peoples in the following ways:
as disabled,
as gender or sexually deviant
as Aboriginal or members of a racialized group
as members of non-normative family forms,
as inmates, in prisons, asylums and other institutional sites,
as dependent on the welfare state,
as engaging in non-heteronormative sexual practices
as involved in sex work and/or sex surrogacy
Historical and current-context efforts at containment of those classified accordingly have included:
eugenics, or the involuntary sterilization of disabled people, imprisoned people and members of indigenous and other racialized groups;
policing and prosecuting polygynous and polygamous family forms
heteronormative surveillance, policing and regulation of queer and trans* people
the protectionism, infantilization or demonization of disabled or mad people
limiting support and access to disabled people's sexual and familial lives
regulation and prosecution of sex workers and sex surrogates
chemical and medical interventions in prisons, institutions, hospitals, and asylums
segregation through residential schools and other institutions
segregation and containment embedded in community practice, and in immigration policy
The conference seeks to explore and challenge the seeming naturalness of historical and current efforts to control and marginalize certain kinds of sex and reproduction, and to illuminate commonalities and differences amongst these various efforts to police sexual, reproductive and family lives. We ask why and how particular sets of behaviours or peoples are targets of control, and thus seek to examine what kinds of 'normal' values are being upheld. We encourage presentations that illuminate the productions of ableism, heteronormativity, Whiteness, gender, and ideal citizenship.
For more information visit the conference website, or follow on Facebook.


When you are a first year law student, your readings are extremely dense and full of unnecessary legalese. Latin and words like "hereby", easily become a part of everyday discussions between law students. Although our professors teach us to write concisely, it is difficult to avoid writing like a 1900's Supreme Court justice.
With that, Sart, my supervisor, gave me an assignment to create a short and understandable Copyright and Personal Release form. Oh, and, Sart wanted the form to be at a sixth grade reading level or lower!
Although Sart sent me back to my desk multiple times to remove and rephrase the "fancy" legal language I am so use to using in school, a shareable draft of our Copyright and Personal Release form is finally available.
Please feel free to provide your feedback and suggestive revisions to the form.

The latest on flow
Once again, I've rewritten flow. I think I'm actually honing in on some kind of optimal solution for my needs. So far in my iterations I've come up with two basic methods for moving flow around, push or pull. But first some definitions.
Flow: So far, this is just Water or Lava.
Cycle: A step through the flow loop. Ideally touches all flowing cubes to update them.
Source cubes: Infinite sources of flow (springs, rivers, etc.). While they will never run out of flow, they have a limited supply of flow per cycle.
Flow cubes: Cubes that have flow in them.
And now the two flow moving methods.
In this method, I keep track of source cubes. Each cycle these cubes had a certain amount of flow they want to get rid of. So I loop through each source cube, and find somewhere logical to put their flow. This is done by stepping out from source cubes until we find somewhere the flow fits, and then filling in that space. I'd skip past cubes that had full flow, to save the trouble of propagating flow through cubes that are already full, and would be full after. Additionally there's some smoothing involved that lets us look for places where there's too much flow, and spread it evenly among it's neighbors.
In this method, I keep track of all the cubes that are not full yet, including empty cubes that are directly adjacent to cubes with water in them. I also keep track of what Y level the cubes are on, lower level cubes get priority. Each cycle I start at the lowest level, and work my way up. This kind of simulates gravity, it makes sure that things will flow down hill before spreading on top of the hill. At each level I select cubes randomly until I've gone through all the cubes on that level. When a cube is selected, it follows it's parent flows back trying to find a source cube. If it finds a source it pulls flow from it. If the source cube is empty for that cycle, it will check it's parent flow. If the parent flow has two or more flow than the current flow cube, the current flow cube takes 1 unit of flow away. This has kind of a leveling effect.
With both methods I keep track of parent flows. This is required to see if a flow still has a source. This is where I think the pull method works so much better. When there is no source the pull method, it can just seek the highest parent, and take flow from them. See the image below to see what the parent child connections can end up looking like. Here black is the parent and white is the child. Parents can have multiple children, but children can't have multiple parents. Also, as you can see, flows are non-diagonal only. This simplifies things greatly, but does make for some unintuitive flow paths.
My latest rewrite implemented the pull method. It's mostly working. There are still a few issues I'm working on, but I'm getting closer. Check out how it looks in the video below. Feel free to ask questions about specifics if you're trying to implement something similar.

The Des Moines Art Center has so much to offer. I have been going continuously for as long as I can remember, more frequently since having a child 5 ½ years ago. I had been thinking that the art work definitely needed mixed up. Much to my delight that wish came true. Last week when I went to the Art Center I noticed so many pieces that I hadn't seen before, my five year old also noticed new pieces. The Des Moines Art Center has about 5600 pieces to choose from in their vault or on loan, as well as additional art work at the John and Mary Pappahohn Sculpture Park and many sculptures amongst the Rose Gardens to the south of the Art Center.
As you enter the DM Art Center, what awaits you are friendly humans eager to help guide you in the best direction. For children and maybe adults too there are interactive boards to play with. The boards show different works of art to identify. The art center has now added a small book to their repertoire. The book has activities and pictures of art as well as helpful hints on how to act in a museum. The art center also encourages pictures and the sharing of such pictures using the hashtag #EntirelyUnexpected. Another way to use the museum and its resources would be to go into the Museum Shop, buy postcards of art work within the museum and have your child search for the art work viewed on the post cards. You also have an opportunity to use the audio guide to help you through the museum.
If you decide to go straight into the Anna K. Meredith Gallery the transformation from the Drawing in Space exhibit to the Wanderlust exhibit is amazing, vibrant, and enlightening. There are three videos exhibits in the first gallery, then scattered throughout in the Meier Building are several more, which will keep the kids busy.
There are three different buildings that make up the art center, Eliel Saarinen Building, I.M. Pei Building and the Richard Meier Building. Each building is easy to navigate. The Meier Building has stairs as well as a giant elevator. Choosing the stairs gives you an opportunity to gaze out the windows or see an entire art installation above. On the lower level are two gender neutral bathrooms that are clean and handicap accessible. If anyone needs help there are many docents to help guide.
You might also want to grab a bite at the Chef's Palette. The Café has small bites as well as handmade desserts. The menu changes weekly there is also a kids menu. The Café is open Tuesday – Saturday 11-2.
There is so much more the Des Moines Art Center has to offer. The Art Center offers classes, camps, and one day workshops throughout the year. Summer art camps are available for kids and adults. The camps offer extended care. You are able to get a discount of 20% if you become a member. Becoming a member is super easy. Members get a discount at the Museum shop as well as many other perks. Prices start at $30 for students to $55 for household/grandparent. The membership yearly.
Yoga, Documentaries, Workshops, Performances, Drop in Baby & Me Tours, and Mother's Books & Blankets are all offered at the Des Moines Art Center. All things art can be found by visiting their website or by simply visiting the art center itself to see all the beautiful, amazing things they have for all ages!
If you didn't make it to the Drawing in Space exhibit don't fret the Art Center has an equally wonderful exhibit in Wanderlust: Action, Traces, and Journeys (through May 13). Go see the Des Moines Art Center it's AMAZING!
Summer Camp: 515.271.0316; Monday – Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Michele Krage is a funny human who lives with individuals for laughter and smiles. One husband is in the mix as well as one 5 ½ year old who acts 75. I love art and eating out anytime of the day other than morning.

The C-295 and India's aircraft industry
#GS-03 Economy
For Mains:
Indian Aviation Sector currently:
Indian companies, both public and private, have steadily expanded their footprint in the global supply chains of major defence and aerospace manufacturers supplying a range of components, systems and sub-systems.
India has a much bigger footprint in civil aviation manufacturing than defence, in addition to being a market itself.
Both Airbus and Boeing do significant sourcing from India for their civil programmes.
Boeing has been sourcing from India stands at $1 billion annually, of which over 60% is in manufacturing.
This is done through 300+ supplier partners of which over 25% are micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME).
Tata in a joint venture (JV) with Boeing, manufactures aero-structures for its AH-64 Apache helicopter, including fuselages, secondary structures, vertical spar boxes fuselages and vertical fin structures for the 737 family of aircraft.
It also makes Crown and Tail-cones for Boeing's CH-47 Chinook helicopters.
Similarly, Lockheed Martin has joint ventures with TASL in Hyderabad which has manufactured more than 180 empennages for the C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft and delivered 157 S-92 helicopter cabins.
One of the JV's also began manufacturing complex fighter wings with over 70% of detail parts produced indigenously.
The JVs till date have clocked $600 million worth of exports and produced over $200 million in Indian industry revenue.
Airbus buys manufactured parts and engineering services worth $650 million every year from more than 45 Indian suppliers.
How does the new manufacturing plant impact Indian economy:
The U.S. simplifying its export regulations for India, through a series of measures, has added further impetus to the development of Aviation industry in India.
The domestic defence manufacturing ecosystem will get a boost with the C-295 project as it will lead to the development of a strong private industrial aerospace ecosystem not only in and around Vadorara but across the country.
Bengaluru and Hyderabad already have developed such aerospace and defence domains over the years.
The C-295 project is expected to create more than 15,000 skilled direct and indirect jobs across the aerospace ecosystem, with more than 125 suppliers qualified on global quality standards across India.
Manufacturing of over 13,400 detail parts, 4,600 sub-assemblies and all the seven major component assemblies will be undertaken in India, along with tools, jigs and testers.

Big Orange Give Exceeds Its Million-Dollar Goal in Fourth Year
UT wrapped up its annual Big Orange Give online giving campaign with alumni and friends donating $1,521,305 in one week.
Fall 2016 Big Orange Give
"For the fourth year in a row, our Volunteer family has exceeded our goals for the Big Orange Give campaign," said Chancellor Jimmy G. Cheek. "We are grateful to our alumni and friends for their enthusiasm for the campaign. Every donation makes a difference and moves us forward in our journey to become a Top 25 public research university."
The fourth annual Big Orange Give generated 3,336 gifts from donors in all 50 states and three countries during the week of November 14–18.
Eighty percent of the gifts received during the Big Orange Give campaign were less than $100. Donors designated gifts toward their area of passion on campus.
More than 200 gifts were made on UT's VOLstarter crowdfunding site. Three VOLstarter projects were fully funded: Paint the Rock, the College of Veterinary Medicine Anesthesia Crew, and the UT Gardens.
"It was incredible to see the power of many gifts come together to help us reach our Big Orange Give goal. This week showcases how every dollar, every donor truly makes an impact in the lives of current and future students," said Chip Bryant, interim vice chancellor for development and alumni affairs.
The original goal of the campaign was to raise $1 million. The First Tennessee Foundation made a challenge pledge to match $500,000. Clay Jones, president of the Alumni Board of Directors, offered a true match of $25,000 on Wednesday, November 16, which was met by 11 a.m.
Even though Big Orange Give is over, alumni and friends can always contribute through the Office of Alumni Affairs and Development website.

Of Basel - PSV 18.09. Free fixed tips
Free fixed tips
The Catalan Grand directly entered the group stage as the champion of Spain in the last season. A break of 14 points from the nearest pursuer gives hope that Barcelona is reborn and is again ready to tear and throw.
After three rounds, Ernesto Valverde's team took the first place at the expense of additional indicators. "Blaugranas" great psihanuli in the third round - poor "Huesca" 8: 2 "crashed".
Free fixed predictions
Is Messi capable of new miracles?
Lionel Messi has long been a legend of "Barcelona" and world football, but this is what eventually played him a cruel joke05 / 09/2018
However, interestingly, the last two matches Catalans skipped first. "Huesca" was able to score the Spanish "monster" already in the 3rd minute (and this is at the "Camp Nou"!), And "Real Sociedad" in the 4th round soaked the account in the 12th minute. True, in his field.
This can only be connected with the extreme passion for the attack, because "Barcelona" - the most beating team in Spain at the moment. On average, the guys Valverde punched 18 times per game.
Free fixed picks
"PSV"
"Red and white army", despite the championship in their country, had to play one round of qualification - the final one. However, the Dutch did not create major problems.
Belarusian "BATE" resisted only on its territory - the victory of the team van Bommel 3: 2. In Eindhoven, "PSV" unconditionally won 3-0 and withdrew questions about the participant in the group stage.
In the championship of Holland before the start of the 5th round "peasants" also went first. In previous matches, they won four wins and took the lead in performance - 14 goals scored.
Forecast: "Both will score"
What to say, a decent couple. As, however, and "Tottenham" with "Inter" - the other members of this group. Both teams are imprisoned for an attack, so bookmakers do not doubt the abundance of goals. Total more than 2.5 is estimated by them within 1.20-1.30.
However, beeches count more on "Barcelona" - the coefficient for its victory is only 1.10. And they do not believe in the goal of the Dutch team. We also suggest taking a chance and playing on the starting nerves of the Catalan grandee.
Our bet is "Both will score" for 2.17.
Both teams are leaders of their championships. But the ligochempionsky experience of Barcelona is much higher, besides, she plays at home. So it will not be easy to find arguments in favor of the guests.
In the last match of the championship of the Catalans not without problems defeated 2: 1 Real Sociedad. In total, Barcelona won four wins in four games, which allows it to lead the standings of La Liga. But the main accent Valverde wards - the Champions League, where Blaugranaas was defeated four years ago. And in the previous three seasons they stopped in the quarterfinals.
The champion and the current leader of the Eredivisia returns to the most prestigious club tournament in Europe. In the qualification, the Eindhoven defeated the Belarusian BATE with a total score of 6: 2. And in the last game of the championship wards van Bommel was killed on the road Den Haag - 7: 0.
The obvious favorite of this match is Barcelona. In its composition there is a whole series of stars of the first magnitude, which will allow the Catalans to start successfully in the Champions League.
The victory of Barcelona in each of the halves at 1.83
Match 1 round of the group stage of the Champions League Barcelona - PSV will be held on Tuesday September 18 at 19:55 (MSC) at the stadium Camp Nou. In this game teams of different levels come together and few of the bookies believe in intrigue - Barcelona should easily win. At the same time from the game waiting for a large number of goals. Basically, high performance must be provided by Barcelona. The Catalan club is preparing for the match after a strong-willed victory over Real Sociedad in the championship of Spain with a score of 2: 1 - conceding the first, Barca responded goals Suarez and Dembele with an interval of three minutes. It was the fifth official match of the team this season and the fifth time she won. In two meetings, Barcelona did not miss a single goal. And in four fights, she herself scored at least two goals. In her field this season, Barcelona played two matches and won both with a total score of 11: 2. As for her results in the Champions League, last season, the Blue-Garnet reached only the quarter-finals, losing there on the sum of two meetings with Rome - after the 4: 1 home victory the Spaniards lost 0-3 on the road. By the way, in his field last season, Barcelona won all five matches of the Champions League, scoring in them a total of 15 goals and conceding only two goals.
PSV on Saturday also held a match of the championship and defeated the ADO on the road with a score of 7: 0. Two goals in this game were scored by Perreira (both from the penalty spot) and Lozano. Eindhoven club started the season with a defeat from Feyenoord in the match for the Dutch Super Cup. True, he lost only on penalties, and the main and extra time ended with a score of 0: 0. After that, PSV held seven official matches and won each of them with a total score of 27: 5. In the Champions League, he did not play since the season 2016/17, when he took the last place in the group with Bayern, Atlético and Rostov, having scored just two points. And this season PSV went on the way to the group stage one qualifying stage - in the qualification he beat Belarus BATE twice (3: 2 away and 3: 0 at home). Experts of the site Bookmakers.rf believe that Barcelona will win this match by scoring at least three goals in the opponent's goal. At the same time, the overall effectiveness of the meeting can exceed three goals.

Since the budget was drained from the Epic DIY deck project, there wasn't much wiggle room for new equipment. Had to make do with what I had, and do some clever reconfiguring of the solar and wind power equipment for 2015 summer.
Moved the factory made, 100-watt panel to the new main cabin battery bank. For some reason, the voltage was really spiking (21 volts, with load). I thought it might be the charge controller or a loss connection to the batteries. Happened during July, but not during August.
The DIY 80 watt solar panel is working just fine. Putting out about 6 amps on a good sunny day. The only downside was the backing was starting to peel off. Some red tuck tape helped seal it off. Hopefully, I can get 2 more years out of it.
New addition. Bid 99 cents on a small 5.5 watt panel and won. Using it as a trickle charger for the generator and water pump battery.
Earlier in the year, the Morningstar TS-60 was taken out of service until I can determine why it was showing a fault. Did some basic tests and couldn't find the problem. It sat in my tool box for 9 months and in July, I hooked it up to the DIY solar panel. Seems to be working OK.
Picked up a 99 cents eBay special (plus $29.00 for shipping) for a programmable charge controller with load control and temperature gizmo. It will be used in the main cabin battery bank. I like to test the system out for a full season before upgrading equipment.
It's a good plan to have some spare, inexpensive charge controllers. I use eBay as my buying source and try to find a good, previously used, charge controller. If not, an off-shore made controller can be found for around $30.
Last fall, I purchased (4) 6 volt, US Battery off craigslist for $40 each. They were lightly used and 3 years old. Came from a backup power system for a data security company. The plan was to use them for the battery bank in the main cabin. The box would be located directly underneath the charging/entertainment center. Then I could avoid long cables and it was easier for access. Built a large box that featured space for more batteries or equipment.
I found out my homemade booster battery cables were not up to the job. They were making the voltage jump around erratically. I think one of the reason was the wire was not soldered to the eyelids or lugs. (Have to work on that for next time). Fixed the issue by spending $45.00 for a pair of factory made 4 ga. battery cables.
The small, 100-watt wind turbine is working fine after 5 years. The PVC blades are in good shape and every year, I lower the tower and pump grease into the gear system. The roof top mount help up pretty good, but I'm concerned how the rooftop ice moved the base around.
Solar Panel Mount- Figured out a nifty mount for the solar panel. Used a satellite dish mount. Fun project and it works really well. The only downside was the mount can hold lightweight solar panels.
Battery Box- spent some time planning the second battery box, building and figuring out an effective passive venting system. Some say venting isn't required, especially the low amps I'm producing, but it's a piece of mind knowing there will no hydrogen build up.
Have a few more items to add, but I'm waiting on some pictured. Thanks for visiting the Cedar Workshop website!

Whomadewho
When experimental dance band WhoMadeWho burst onto the scene with the seminal 'Space for Rent' in the mid-2000s it was a time of musical upheaval. Club music morphed into rock and vice versa and the Copenhagen-based trio suddenly found themselves leading an international movement taking in indie, techno, pop and pretty much anything else you could think of. The world has changed since then and the band has changed with it, but their core remains the same; more than anything, they're a group channeling a singular, restless energy. A constantly evolving entity that truly defy categories and live to push boundaries - with releases on Gomma, Kompakt and Get Physical under their belt and gigs all over the world from Melt! to Roskilde to Sonar and the legendary Robot Heart parties ticked off on their bucket list.

St Albans Organ Festival pays tribute after death of its founder
Anne Suslak
Published: 11:00 AM March 10, 2019
Peter Hurford, the founder of St Albans International Organ Festival, has died age 88. Picture: St Albans International Organ Festival - Credit: Archant
The founder of the St Albans International Organ Festival is remembered for his contribution to music following his death this week.
Peter Hurford OBE, an internationally renowned concert organist and recording artist, died on Sunday, March 3 at the age of 88, after a long illness.
Peter was born in Minehead, Somerset on November 22, 1930, which is also St Cecilia's Day - the patron saint of musicians. He studied music and law at Jesus College, Cambridge and became organist at Holy Trinity in Leamington Spa in 1956.
He moved to St Albans in 1958, where he was appointed Master of Music at the Cathedral and, over the next few years, persuaded the Cathedral to replace its organ and played a major part in its redesign.
In 1963 Peter founded the St Albans International Organ Festival with his late wife, Pat. His aim was to introduce more people to the pipe organ as an instrument, and to make young participants in the festival's two organ competitions feel welcome in the community.
After 20 years at the Cathedral, Peter left to pursue a freelance performing and recording career which took him all around the world. He appeared as a visiting professor at universities, both at home and abroad, and has been artist-in-residence at Sydney Opera House and president of the Royal College of Organists.
He also won awards and international recognition for his recordings of the complete works of Johann Sebastian Bach.
Peter lived in St Albans for the rest of his life, teaching leading performers, and his picture is hung on the local 'wall of fame' at the St Albans Museum + Gallery.
The 30th St Albans Organ Festival will take place this July, which festival chair Lesley King described as "a lasting testament to his vision".
She said: "With the death of Peter Hurford, St Albans has lost someone who made a difference in many people's lives at an individual level, brought pleasure to thousands at home and abroad through his music making, and raised the profile of the city through the high standing in which the festival he founded is held around the world.
"He will be greatly missed."
Peter will have a private family funeral, and a memorial event will be held at St Albans Cathedral, the details of which are yet to be announced.


While donating books to the students at the Harvey Vale Government School, the Vice Principal, Mrs. Thieria Mills, was asked what her biggest obstacle was in educating the students. Without hesitation she stated that it is very hard to get the children to school on a routine basis due to the old and falling septic system.
The school often had to close for several days or weeks while the system was temporarily repaired. This resulted in the students missing a substantial part of the academic year. The school did not have the funds to pay for the repair and despite requests to the government the system was not repaired.
Upon hearing this we rushed to action. Since we had recently raised money to help Paul Caton and his eye surgery, we knew we had money remaining and we were looking for another project. What a great way to make a huge impact on the education of many children by replacing the septic system at the school. We contacted The Ashby Windward Foundation to see if replacing the septic system would be an option.
After much legwork by The Ashby Windward Foundation, we were able to fund the replacement of a septic system at the Harvey Vale Government School. The students started the 2010-2011 academic year with a fully functioning septic system. The ability to attend school on a daily basis will make a huge difference in the lives of hundreds of students for years to come.

Bible verses about "business" | MLV
10 You will surely give him and your heart will not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing Jehovah your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you put your hand to.
Psalms 119:130
130 The opening of your words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.
20 There is desirable treasure and oil in the dwelling of a wise man, but a foolish man swallows it up.
Psalms 107:23-30
23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in great waters, 24 these men see the works of Jehovah and his wonders in the deep.
25 For he commands and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves of it. 26 They mountain up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble. 27 They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man and are at their wits' end.
28 Then they cry to Jehovah in their trouble and he brings them out of their distresses. 29 He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves of it are still. 30 Then they are glad because they are quiet, so he brings them to their desired haven.
1 Now he arrived in Derbe and Lystra, and behold, a certain disciple was there, Timothy by name, the son of a certain believing Jewess and a Greek father. 2 He was being testified of by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium. 3 This one, Paul wished to go forth together with him, and he took Timothy and circumcised him because of the Jews who are in those places; for they all knew that his father was Greek. 4 Now as they were traveling through the cities, they were giving them the decrees, to observe what had been decided by the apostles and the elders who were in Jerusalem. 5 Therefore indeed, the congregations were being strengthened in the faith, and were abounding in number every day.
6 Now they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia; 7 and when they came down to Mysia, they were attempting to travel to Bithyna, and the Spirit did not permit them; 8 and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. 9 And a vision was seen by Paul in the night. There was a certain man, a Macedonian, standing, pleading with him and saying, When you have crossed over into Macedonia, help us! 10 Now as he saw the vision, we immediately sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord has called us to proclaim the good-news to them.
11 Therefore setting-sail from Troas, we made a straight route to Samothrace, and the next day to Neapolis; 12 and from there to Philippi, which is the first city of that part of Macedonia, a Roman colony. Now we were staying in the city for some days. 13 And on the Sabbath day, we went forth outside the city beside a river, where we supposed it to be a place of prayer, and having sat down and we were speaking to the women who had come together. 14 And a certain woman, Lydia by name, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira was hearing us and worshiping God, whose heart the Lord opened to take-heed to the things being spoken from Paul. 15 Now as she and her household were immersed, she pleaded with us, saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, abide here, having entered into my house. And she constrained us.
16 Now it happened, while traveling to the place of prayer, that a certain maidservant encountered us, having a spirit of divination, who was providing her lords much business by fortune-telling. 17 This maidservant was crying out, having followed after Paul and us, saying, These men are bondservants of the Highest God, who are proclaiming to us the way of salvation. 18 Now she was doing this for many days. But Paul, also being pained, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come forth away from her. And it came out in the same hour.
19 But when her lords saw that the hope of their business was gone, grabbing Paul and Silas, they dragged them into the marketplace in front of the rulers. 20 Having led them to the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, are disturbing our city, 21 and are proclaiming customs which it is not legal for us to accept, or to do, being Romans. 22 And the crowd stood up together against them, and the magistrates, having ripped off their garments, were commanding the sergeants to lash them with rods. 23 And having laid many lashes on them, they cast them into prison, after having commanded the jailor to securely guard them. 24 Having received such a command, he cast them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the wood stocks.
25 But toward midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God and the prisoners were their audience; 26 and suddenly there became a great earthquake, so-that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and instantly all the doors were opened and everyone's bonds were lax. 27 But the jailor, came out of sleep and saw the doors of the prison had been open, drew his sword and was about to assassinate himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled. 28 But Paul shouted with a loud voice, saying, Do nothing evil to yourself; for we are all here.
29 Now when he asked for lights, he dashed in and came in trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 and having led them out, he said, Lords, what is essential for me to do in order that I might be saved?
31 Now they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your house. 32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, to all who were in his house. 33 And having taken them in that same hour of the night, he fully-washed their lashes, and he and all his household were instantly immersed*. \ulnone\nosupersub 34 And he led them up into his house and placed a table before them, and was glad with all his household, all having believed in God.
35 But when it became day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Release those men.
36 Now the jailor reported these words to Paul, saying, The magistrates have sent me in order that you should be released. Therefore when you come out now, travel in peace.
37 But Paul said to them, They have whipped us in public, uncondemned men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison, and are they now casting us out secretly? No, but when they come, let them lead us outside.
38 Now the sergeants reported these words to the magistrates and they feared, having heard that they were Romans. 39 And when they came, they pleaded with them, and having led them outside, they asked them to go out away from the city.
40 Now when they came out of the prison and they entered into the house of Lydia, and having seen the brethren, they encouraged them and went out.
26 And God said, Let Us make man in our image–after our likeness–and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the cattle, and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
20 My son, attend to my words. Incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Do not let them depart from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart. 22 Because they are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh.
13 Now he called ten of his bondservants, and gave them ten two-hundred denarius coins, and said to them, Trade with this until I come.
1 Jehovah, who will journey in your tabernacle? Who will dwell in your holy hill?
2 He who walks uprightly and works righteousness and speaks truth in his heart, 3 he who does not slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor, 4 in whose eyes those who reject God are despised, but who honors those who fear Jehovah, he that swears to his own hurt and changes not, 5 he who puts not his money out to interest, nor takes a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will not be shaken everlasting.
Habakkuk 2:2
2 And Jehovah answered me and said, Write the vision and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run who reads it.
7 For Jehovah your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He has known your walking through this great wilderness. These forty years Jehovah your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.
24 No one is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and will love the other; or he will hold to one and will despise the other. You are not able to serve God and {F} money.
17 And everything, anything, whatever you do in word or in work, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving-thanks to the God and Father through him.
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do with your might, because there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you go.
Deuteronomy 8:18
18 But you will remember Jehovah your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day.

Crab Interesting Facts Crab Fun Facts
Crabs are crustacean decapods, scientifically known as Brachyura. They are arthropods, and some species of crabs are the largest arthropods. There are more than 6,000 species of crabs belonging to approximately 93 families, including king crab, blue crab, and many more. The Japanese spider crabs are the largest crabs known to exist and have 144 in (12 ft) distance between the claws. They are followed by the Tasmanian giant crab, while the smallest crab is the pea crab which is only a millimeter long, resembling a pea. Small crab species are commonly known as sand fleas, sand bugs, sand crabs, or mole crabs.
Coconut crabs are found in areas similar to a coconut palm, and their primary source of food is coconut. Coconut crabs are known for their strong claws.

Crab Interesting Facts
What type of animal is a crab?
A crab is a marine arthropod belonging to the subphylum crustaceans. They are invertebrates, lacking a backbone, but their exoskeleton protects them from predators. They walk on all four legs, moving sideways. Their claws are strong, which also helps them to hunt. They are largely consumed for their meat all over the world.
What class of animal does a crab belong to?
A crab belongs to the class of arthropods. Some crab species, like the Japanese spider crabs, are the largest living arthropods. They can be found in multiple habitats like deep in the oceans, beaches and deserts. Some species of crabs are arboreal and are found on the barks of trees.
How many crabs are there in the world?
There are more than 6,000 species of crabs that are found everywhere in the world and are consumed for their meat. Their conservation status as listed is Not Extinct which means that there are large populations of different crab species living in the wild.
Where does a crab live?
Crabs can be traced in all of the world's oceans. They are also found on sandy beaches, shores, hills, forests, and even on trees. Crabs live and adapt to different habitats but are mostly found in tropical waters where the temperature is moderate.
What is a crab's habitat?
Crab species can be segregated into marine and terrestrial arthropods. Few species of crabs can live on the land for a considerably long time. Land crabs hide in dark places, and those living on beaches burrow holes in the sand to keep the water in their body from evaporation. If the gills in a crab's body dry out, they suffer from oxygen deficiency. Some terrestrial crabs are also known to drink water from the land.
Who do crabs live with?
The behavior of the crab depends on the species it belongs to. Some species live in groups of more than 1,000 crabs which are called casts while some crabs prefer living a solitary life, and meet other crabs only during the mating period. Casts of crabs have multiple benefits, like finding a partner for mating and being safe from predators.
How long does a crab live?
The lifespan of crabs depends on their species. The blue crab is known to have a lifespan of one to eight years, while the hermit crab can live for 30 to 70 years. The horseshoe crab lives for 20 to 25 years, while the dungeness crab can survive for ten years in the wild. King crabs and red crabs also have a lifespan of 20 to 30 years, respectively. The Japanese spider crab is undoubtedly the largest known crab species and has the longest lifespan of more than 100 years.
Crabs reproduce through copulation. The pre-mating ritual involves embracing, which continues for five to seven days. After the embracing period, the female crabs stops struggling and willingly allows the gonopods or sexual organs of the male containing sperm to slide into the female's gonophores. The female stores the sperm in her sac until they are fertilized with the egg. The gestation period in crabs can last for more than a week, and the female crab lays more than one litter.
The conservation status of crabs is listed as Not Extinct, considering the number of different species living in nature. Crabs are usually caught by fishermen to be sold in fish markets for consumption. All species of crabs do not have strong pincers, which makes them vulnerable to predators. They are usually shy when approached by predators and try to escape the scene.
Crab Fun Facts
What do crabs look like?
Different species of crabs have different colors. There are many colorful crabs like the orangutan crab, gulf stone crab, pebble crab, golden crab and the soft coral crab that display beautiful colors. Some crabs like the green shore crabs, fiddler crabs, and white banded crabs are known to change their colors and camouflage themselves. Some crab species are large and can weigh more than 100 lb (45 kg), while some crabs like the pea crab are pea-sized. Few crabs have strong pincers.
Crabs are not cute, but few colorful species of crabs can be attractive in appearance. They also have a distinct quality of camouflaging themselves to defend themselves from the predator. Even though crabs are harmless, their bite can be really painful.
Crabs communicate through chemicals like pheromones. They also use the technique of stridulating which involves the crab rubbing certain body parts together to produce noise. The pre-mating ritual in crabs involves embracing the female crab. They mostly use different sounds to communicate with each other.
How big is a crab?
The average length of a crab is 5-7 in (12-19 cm), and its average weight is 0.75-2.1 lb (0.35-0.9 kg). Some crab species can develop a body mass of 38 lb (17 kg). The Tasmanian giant crab and the Japanese spider crabs are the largest species of crabs. Pea crabs are the smallest crab species, followed by a hairy-legged hermit crab.
How fast can crabs move?
The average speed of a crab is 12 mph (19 kmph). They move in a sideways direction as they walk on all four legs. They also can walk in both forward and backward directions or in a diagonal direction. They walk sideways as they have stiff joints, and one leg never moves in the direction of the other leg.
How much does a crab weigh?
A crab can weigh between 0.75-2.1 lb (0.35-0.9 kg) depending on the species of the crab.
What are the male and female names of the species?
A male crab is called a buck, while the female is known as a jenny.
What would you call a crab?
Baby crabs are called zoea larvae.
Crabs are omnivores. They eat both animal and plant material as a part of their diet. They mostly eat algae and feed on small fishes, worms, fungi, and bacteria present in the surrounding areas. Yellow land crabs climb on trees in search of food. Land crabs forage the area and hunt on seabirds, insects, fishes, or even juicy leaves and fruits.
Are they harmful?
Some crabs are venomous in nature. A bite from a crab would not allow the poison to transfer to the human's body as there is no mechanism in the structure of the crab to do so. Crabs can only be dangerous when they have strong pincers like the coconut crab or the red crab, which has the potential of cutting a human being's finger off. The xanthid crab is the most venomous crab, which can only poison a human being if its flesh is consumed.
Land crabs are difficult to be kept as pets as they tend to crawl out of their tank or vessel and usually live a shorter life span. These animals are known to live with their colonies and enjoy activities like walking, running, hunting, and even sleeping together. Red claw crabs can be kept as pets provided they have the required living conditions.
The sex of the crab can be confirmed by examining its underbody as the males have a phallic exterior and females have domes. A crab has an average lifespan of three to four years. The most colorful crab in the world is the sally lightfoot crab displaying a coloration of bright yellow, red, orange, blue, and white. A crab's tooth is situated inside its stomach. If the crab loses one of its claws during a fight, it can grow it back again.
Crab meat is considered a delicacy amongst seafood lovers. This is the reason behind crabs featuring on the menu of world's leading restaurants. However, eating too much crab is bad for you because it is very high in cholesterol.
Crabs can die during molting, especially if their shells get stuck, so make sure to take extra care of your pet crabs during their molt.
How many eyes do crabs have?
Crabs have a single pair of eyes that are located on their stalk, just like snails. These animals do not have powerful eyesight but can differentiate between different colors. They can identify a moving object with the help of their eyes and detect ultraviolet light beneath the ocean.
How do they find their new shell?
Hermit crabs find other shells belonging to snails or other animals. They infuse their body in the new shell and carry it with them. The process of molting in crabs occurs when they start developing and shed their old shell.

A scheme to enhance children's education at Linlithgow Palace has earned praise from a national initiative focusing on community projects.
The town was in the spotlight last week thanks to a visit from The Big Walk, an initiative from the Eden Project made possible by the National Lottery.
It celebrates the people at the heart of the UK's communities, who work together to make a positive difference locally. It was launched on BBC's The One Show on May 16.
The walkers arrived into Linlithgow having visited community projects in Morecambe, Penrith, Carlisle, Gretna, Lockerbie, Larkhall, Easterhouse, Glasgow, Lenzie, Stirling and Alloa.
They were given a tour of Linlithgow Palace by the Junior Palace Guides. The scheme, which has been running for more than 40 years, sees P7 pupils from Linlithgow Primary School trained as tour guides. The young guides then take other school visits on tours of the palace.
This year, there are about 25 pupils enrolled in the scheme in Linlithgow and its success has prompted Historic Scotland to roll it out at other destinations.
After the palace visit, the walkers went to the school to talk to the pupils about the scheme.
Leading the Scotland team, Angus McLeod, 52, has been overwhelmed by the support of people and projects along the route.
He said: "This is an amazing opportunity to see Linlithgow and its history through the eyes of its young people.
Robbie Taylor, deputy head teacher at Linlithgow Primary School, said: "The benefits are tenfold. We watch their self-esteem and confidence go through the roof and their drama skills, literacy and organisational skills all improve.
The Big Walk, in which four teams travel to the corners of the UK, is also helping to spread the word about The Big Lunch, the annual get-together for neighbours this Sunday.

How a retailer handles a merchandise sale is no less important than how the retailer handles the return of that same merchandise. Customer unfriendly policies which make a gift return difficult or impossible can cause a retailer to lose two customers if both the gift recipient is inconvenienced, and the gift giver is embarrassed.
Retailers that understand the customer acquisition value of customer-centric gift return policies will avoid these gift return practices employed by some major U.S.retail companies.
Some items purchased at Target.com cannot be returned to a Target store. But gift givers won't know for sure which items are store returnable and which items are not until after the purchase is made.
Target and Target.com also will not accept returns for items without a receipt or gift receipt. You'll get no store credit, no exchanges, and no exceptions with this gifter unfriendly return policy.
Target doesn't do exchanges either. You have to return an item, get a refund, and then repurchase the replacement you want. Besides the hassle and time involved with this non-exchange policy, customers who conduct all transactions by mail will have the bonus of paying all the shipping charges both ways with this redundant process.
This east coast membership discount club has not yet fully embraced multi-channel integration, and will not allow customers to return e-commerce purchases to any of its 175 stores. While this is inconvenient for the BJ's member buyer, it is impossible for the receiver of a BJ's gift. To return an item, a gift receiver must obtain a return authorization number, but only the purchasing BJ's member can obtain this number. There is no such thing as a discreet return of a BJs.com gift.
Beware of purchasing a large screen TV from BJ's.com too. When you sign for it, you declare that it's in good working order. How do you know that if it's still in its delivery box? Don't try to ask BJ's. They'll make you take it up with the manufacturer.
You can return gifts purchased from a Barnes and Noble store or from their e-commerce site to any of their retail stores, but you have to do it within 14 days. Chances are, before it was wrapped, the time to return a Barnes & Noble gift had probably already expired.
The worst Barnes & Noble return policy, though, is their "you pay for it, we keep it" policy. If you return merchandise through the mail and it misses the 14-day return deadline, or you forget to include the packing slip, Barnes and Noble says, "We regret that we cannot issue a refund or send the merchandise back to you."
What happens to this unreturned, unrefunded merchandise? It's logical to assume that it will be regifted after it is repurchased by someone else.
Those who purchase a computer from Best Buy or BestBuy.com should make it a last-minute purchase. Opened or not, receipt or not, in-store or by mail, Best Buy will not accept computer returns after 14 days. Surprisingly this is not the worst part of Best Buy's return merchandise policy.
If you make a purchase for $250 or more with cash or debit card, you will not receive a cash or debit card refund if you return the purchase. Rather, Best Buy will issue your refund by check within 10 business days. From a customer's point of view, it seems logical that a store that has the ability to take cash and debit cards should also have the ability to give it back. Cash customers may choose to shop someplace where cash is less difficult.

Anti-trust/Competition Law
Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP
United Arab Emirates: UAE Competition Law Framework Now Complete
by Gamal Abouali , Chris Macbeth and Matteo Beretta
On February 23, 2013, the United Arab Emirates ("UAE") competition law (the "Law") entered into force. Companies benefited from a six month transition period after the Law entered into force, presumably to enable them to review their current trade practices and ensure that the latter did not constitute anti-competitive practices. However, in practice, due to the delay in issuing implementing regulations, the Law has never been applied so far and, thus, companies have had significantly longer to prepare for the impact of the Law. The UAE competition law and merger control framework is now in place. Although some details of how the rules will be implemented are yet to be clarified, all UAE-based companies and potential bidders for them should now consider carefully how the Law impacts them.
On October 27, 2014, the Cabinet of the UAE (the "Cabinet") adopted implementing regulations of the Law (Cabinet Decision No. 37/2014, the "Implementing Regulations"). The Implementing Regulations set forth additional substantive and procedural provisions. Finally, on April 25 and July 10, 2016, the Cabinet issued two more decisions (Cabinet Decision No. 13/2016 and Cabinet Decision No. 22/2016, the "Thresholds Regulations") that set out the market share thresholds for the application of (i) the de minimis exception (to the prohibition on restrictive agreements and abuse of dominant position) and (ii) merger control rules, as well as the criteria for identifying small and medium undertakings which are exempted from the Law. However, the competition regulator is not yet fully operational and the forms to be employed for the purpose of individual exemption applications and merger control notifications and complaints still need to be released.
This memorandum briefly analyses the main features of the Law, the Implementing Regulations and the Thresholds Regulations.

EXHIBITION THEMES
Girodet. The Burial of Atala, 1813. Musée Girodet, Montargis.
Special tickets are not required for this exhibition.
Girodet: Romantic Rebel
February 11–April 30, 2006
Regenstein Hall
Girodet: Romantic Rebel is the first retrospective in the United States devoted to the works of gifted French painter Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson (1767–1824). The exhibition assembles more than 100 seminal works (about 60 paintings and 40 drawings) that demonstrate the artist's impressive range as a painter as well as a draftsman.
Profoundly shaped by the dramatic social and political upheaval brought about by the French Revolution, Girodet early on broke free from his mentor Jacques-Louis David's influence and veered away from the rigid Neoclassical style then prevalent in France. He interpreted his subjects in an evocative and dreamlike manner, often adding a strange, erotic charge. Increasingly he explored themes of a more Romantic nature, taking up subjects that involved irrational emotions and the exotic. He executed pictures representing the legends of Ossian, a fanciful Nordic myth contrived by contemporary writer James Macpherson; and the tragic story of the American Indian woman, Atala, based on the eponymous novel by the artist's friend, Romantic writer Chateaubriand. Also featured in the exhibition are some of the artist's exotic fantasies, including several drawn and painted studies for the spectacular Revolt of Cairo (1810), a depiction of a Mameluke rebellion in Cairo during Napoleon's 1798 Egyptian campaign.
In the range of subjects that he embraced—from family portraits, to mythological fantasies, to Napoleonic battle scenes—Girodet constantly reinvented his style and expanded the boundaries of what was considered appropriate by the French art establishment. His penchant for unconventional interpretation of traditional subjects and his tendency to produce controversial works brought him fame as well as constant challenge. In his innovative exploration of new and exotic themes, visual effects, and untoward or violent emotions, Girodet was an early proponent of what came to be called the Romantic movement in art and literature.
The exhibition catalogue, Girodet: Romantic Rebel, will be available in spring 2006. $65, hardcover. Please contact the Museum Shop at (312) 443-3533 for purchase information.
