Two degrees north of the Equator, and midway between the Hawaiian Islands and fair, green Tahiti, is the largest and most important of the many equatorial isolated lagoon islands which, from 10 deg. N. to 10 deg. S., are dispersed over 40 deg. of longitude. The original native name of this island has long been lost, and by that given to it by Captain Cook one hundred and twenty years ago it is now known to Pacific navigators--Christmas Island. Cook was probably the first European to visit and examine the place, though it had very likely been sighted by the Spaniards long before his time, in the days of the voyages of the yearly galleons between the Philippines and Mexico and Peru.
On the afternoon of December 24, 1777, Cook (in the Resolution and Discovery) discovered to leeward of the former ship a long, low, sandy island, which proved to be about ninety miles in circumference. It appeared to be an exceedingly barren-looking land, save on the south-west side, where grew a luxuriant grove of coco-palms. Here he brought his ships to an anchor, and partly to recuperate his crews, who were in ill health, and partly to observe an eclipse of the sun, he remained at the island some weeks. He soon discovered that the lagoon in the centre was of noble proportions, and that its waters teemed with an immense variety of fish and countless 'droves' of sharks. To-day it remains the same.
Fifty years passed ere this lonely atoll was visited by another ship, and then American and English whalers, or, as they were called in those days, 'South Seamen,' began to touch at the island, give their crews a few days' spell amid the grateful shade of the palm grove and load their boats to the gunwales with fat green turtle, turtle eggs, robber crabs, and sea-birds' eggs. From that time the place became well known to the three or four hundred of sperm whalers engaged in the fishery, and, later on, to the shark-catching vessels from the Hawaiian Islands. Then, sixteen years ago, Christmas Island was taken up by a London firm engaged in the South Sea Island trade under a lease from the Colonial Office; this firm at once sent there a number of native labourers from Manhiki, an island in the South Pacific. These, under the charge of a white man, were set to work planting coco-nuts and diving for pearl shell in the lagoon. At the present time, despite one or two severe droughts, the coco-nut plantations are thriving, and the lessees should in another few years reap their reward, and hold one of the richest possessions in the South Seas.
The island is of considerable extent, and though on the windward or eastern side its appearance is uninviting in the extreme, and the fierce oceanic currents that for ever sweep in mighty eddies around its shores render approach to it difficult and sometimes dangerous, it has yet afforded succour to many an exhausted and sea-worn shipwrecked crew who have reached it in boats. And, on the other hand, several fine ships, sailing quietly along at night time, unaware of the great ocean currents that are focussed about the terrible reefs encompassing the island, have crashed upon the jagged coral barrier and been smashed to pieces by the violence of the surf.
Scarcely discernible, from its extreme lowness, at a distance of more than eight miles from the ship's deck, its presence is made known hours before it is sighted by vast clouds of amphibious birds, most of which all day long hover about the sea in its vicinity, and return to their rookeries on the island at sunset. On one occasion, when the vessel in which I was then serving was quite twenty miles from the land, we were unable to hear ourselves speak, when, just before it became dark, the air was filled with the clamour of countless thousands of birds of aquatic habits that flew in and about our schooner's rigging. Some of these were what whalemen call 'shoal birds,' 'wide-awakes,' 'molly-hawks,' 'whale birds' and 'mutton birds.' Among them were some hundreds of frigate birds, the katafa of the Ellice Islanders, and a few magnificently plum-aged fishers, called kanapu by the natives of Equatorial Polynesia.
Given a good breeze and plenty of daylight, the whale-ships of the olden days could stand round the western horn of the island, a projecting point rendered pleasingly conspicuous by the grove of graceful coco-palms which Cook was so glad to observe so many years before, and then enter a deep bay on the north-west coast, where they obtained good anchorage in from fifteen to twenty fathoms of water of the most wonderful transparency, and within a mile of the vast stretches of white sandy beach that trend away for miles on either hand. And then the sailors, overjoyed at the delightful prospect of running about in the few and widely-apart palm groves, and inhaling the sweet, earthy smell of the thin but fertile soil, covered with its soft, thick bed of fallen leaves, would lower away the boats, and pulling with their united strength through the sweeping eddies of the dangerous passage, effect a landing on a beach of dazzling whites and situated in the inner south-west border of the wide lagoon.
On our first visit to the island, in 1872, we had some glorious fishing; and when we returned on board, under the rays of a moon that shone with strange, uncanny brilliancy, and revealed the coral bottom ten fathoms below, the scene presented from our decks was one of the greatest imaginable beauty, though the loneliness of the place and the absence of human life was somewhat depressing. We remained at the island for three days, and during our stay our crew of South Sea Islanders literally filled our decks with fish, turtle and birds' eggs. Curiously enough, in our scant library on board the little trading vessel I came across portion of a narrative of a voyage in a South Seaman, written by her surgeon, a Mr Bennett, in 1838,{*} and our captain and myself were much interested in the accurate description he gave of Christmas Island and its huge rookeries of oceanic birds.
* Narrative of a Whaling Voyage round the Globe, from 1833 to 1836. By F. D. Bennett.
This is what he says: 'Here and there among the low thicket scrubs are vast rookeries of aquatic birds, whose clamour is deafening. They nest and incubate upon the ground, and show not the slightest fear of the approach of human visitors. Among the sooty terns, whose number it was impossible to estimate, were many hundreds of tropic birds and pure snow-white petrels.' (He no doubt imagined the pure snow-white petrels to be a distinct species--they were young tropic birds.) 'These latter, who flew with a gentle, flapping motion, would actually fly up to us and scan our countenances with an almost human expression of interest and curiosity.' (Darwin, in his account of another Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean, also describes these gentle creatures as being of ethereal beauty.) 'Some, indeed, permitted themselves to be caught, and although their delicate, fragile forms quivered with fear when they came in contact with our hands, they would, when released, return to us again and again, as if seeking to solve the mystery of what strange beings were these that had invaded their retreat. In one rookery there were many varieties of these oceanic birds, and a species of booby that seems to be peculiar to Christmas Island. In size and colour they much resemble the ordinary gannet of our cold northern seas. Their plumage is of a wondrously bright snow white, with the exception of the primary and secondary feathers of the wings, and the retrices or tail feathers, which are of a glossy black. The skin of the cheeks and chin is devoid of feathers, and of a jet black colour, the beak a delicate yellow blue, the legs bright blue. The solicitude of the female birds of this species for their offspring was most interesting to witness. Their nests were of the rudest description, being merely circular heaps of sand raised in the open plain and exposed to the fury of storms. As we approached the nests the mother birds settled themselves down upon their single egg and screamed loudly, but would permit themselves to be lifted off, yet struggled violently in our hands to get back again. Although there were thousands of these nests within a radius of an acre, a brooding hen might easily have been passed unnoticed, for her white plumage corresponded so well with the hue of the coral sands that one was apt to kick against the nest were it not for the agonised, barking note of the poor mother. The male birds, however, of this species did not show any marital concern for their partners. They were usually seated near the nests, but at once took to flight upon our approach. Further on, among a thicket of scrubby vegetation, we found a rookery of many thousands of the superb red-tailed tropic bird (Phaeton phoenicurus), also engaged in incubation. Their nests were mere circular excavations in the sand, under the shade of the bushes of the thicket. Each nest contained an egg of pure white, dotted with delicate lilac spots, and in size rather larger and rounder than that of the domestic hen. The females, as well as the males, made no attempt to escape from their nests on our approach, whether they had or had not the care of eggs, and consequently several of our crew, with innate Polynesian vanity, soon caught a number, and plucking out the two long scarlet tail feathers placed them in their hat bands.
'A hundred yards away from the rookery of the tropic birds was one of a colony of the snowy tern before mentioned. These gentle, black-eyed creatures do not even pretend to construct a nest, but simply deposit a solitary egg upon the bough of a tree (like the gogo, or whale bird). They select for this purpose a tree destitute of foliage, and a branch of horizontal growth. It is strange that, notwithstanding the exposed situation of these eggs, they are very difficult to find; and it was not until long after the solicitude of the parent birds informed us that their spot of incubation was near that we could solve the mystery which attended their nursery. Each egg is the size of a pigeon's, and marked with either blood or chocolate-coloured splashes and spots of irregular shape. Considering the slenderness of the branches on which they are deposited, it is remarkable that the eggs (which appear to be at the mercy of every passing breeze) should yet retain their extraordinary position during incubation.' (Any Pacific Islander could easily have explained this seeming mystery. The shell, when the egg is laid, is covered with a strong adhesive coating. I have often seen a single egg, laid upon a slender branch, swaying about in a strong trade wind, and yet remain firmly in its position.) 'What may be the habits of the newly-hatched birds we had no opportunity of learning, as none of the latter came within our observation.
'Small reef birds (tern) were present in prodigious numbers, skimming the waters of the coast with an erratic, rapid, but yet graceful flight, like that of the stormy petrel. At night they assembled in vast numbers on an islet in the lagoon, to roost on the trees. They are about the size of an Australian snipe, and their forms are models of elegance and beauty. Their plumage is in true slate colour, the secondary wings are white, and a narrow white zone surrounds each eye; their legs and feet are a pale blue, with white webs.
'Every now and then as we, during our visit, walked along the snow-white beaches, great crowds of golden-winged plover and tiny snipe sprang skyward, and swept in graceful gyrations over the broad expanse of water, till they settled upon some sandy spit or spot of projecting reef; and, indeed, the immense concourse or frigate birds, boobies, terns, petrels and other aquatic denizens of the island filled us with boundless astonishment.
'At night time there crept out from their lairs in the loose coral shingle that lined the scrub at high-water mark, incredible numbers of huge "land lobsters"--the "robber crab" of the Pacific Islands. They all crawled to within a few feet of the placid waters of the lagoon, where they remained motionless, as if awaiting some event--possibly to prey upon the smaller species of crustaceæ and turtle eggs.'
Christmas Island, in its structure and elevation, much resembles Palmerston Island, Arrecifos or Providence Island (the secret rendezvous of Captain 'Bully' Hayes), Brown's Range, and other low-lying atolls of the North and South Pacific. The greater part of the interior of the island is, however, despite the vast number of coco-nuts planted upon it during the past ten years, still sadly deficient in cheerful vegetation.
The waters of the lagoon vary greatly in depth, but generally are shallow and much broken up by sandy spits, reefs and huge coral boulders which protrude at low water, and the surface is much subject to the action of the trade wind, which, when blowing strong, lashes them into a wild surf; and the low shores of the encircling islets, that form a continuous reef-connected chain, are rendered invisible from the opposite side by the smoky haze and spume which ascends in clouds from the breaking surf that rolls and thunders on the outer barrier reefs.
In the interior no fresh water is obtainable, although in the rainy season some of a brackish quality can be had by sinking shallow wells. This water rises and falls in the wells in unison with the tides. Here and there are very extensive swamps of sea-water, evaporrated to a strong brine; the margins of these are clothed with a fair growth of the pandanus or screw-pine palm, the fruit of which, when ripe, forms a nutritious and palatable food for the natives of the Equatorial Pacific Islands.
The island where Captain Cook set up his observatory is but a small strip of sandy soil, clothed with a few coco-palms, some screw-palms (pandanus), and a thick-matted carpet of a vine called At At by the natives. The only quadrupeds are rats, and some huge land tortoises, similar to those of the Galapagos Islands. They are most hideous-looking creatures, and, being of nocturnal habits, like the great robber crab, are apt to produce a most terrifying impression upon the beholder, if met with in the loneliness of the night. The present human occupants of Christmas Island are, however, well supplied with pigs and poultry; and though this far-away dot of Britain's empire beyond the seas is scarcely known to the world, and visited but twice a year by a trading vessel from Sydney, they are happy and contented in their home in this lonely isle of the mid-Pacific.11 de Dezembro de 2014 às 07:55 1 Denunciar Insira 1

thehottestsilk had een nieuw logo and social media pakket ontwerp nodig en lanceerde daarom een wedstrijd op 99designs.
Een winnaar werd gekozen uit96 ontwerpen ingezonden door19 freelance designers.
Please help me find one.
Streamer/Online Personality for neutral, mature audiences, yet friendly to mature teens.
Cyan or Turquoise maybe? I want the canvas empty to let your imagination flow.
I want you to have a clean canvas to imagine and create what "TheHottestSilk" means to you. How it strikes you.
Hello! And thank you for your interest!
I play videos games online live with other people, and we broadcast these games live or record them and post them later for viewing. A very good example of this type of social medis is Twitch.tv.
Each streamer, whether popular or not, has their own personality or theme, and this attracts a following from viewers that find the streamer entertaining.
My current goal is to have a logo that represents me when I start to attract popularity.
Currently, I am not fully interested in acquiring viewers because I really enjoy being online with other streamers that are neutral and having a great gaming session with them. But don't let that stop your imagination - in order to find great streamers, I have to attract viewers sooner or later. So let's just say being online and having great gaming sessions with other streamers or priority, and acquiring viewers is second.
The way I may be intending to stream/live broadcast/video-cast my "show" is to play games for the first time and allow my viewers to experience the video game for the first time with me. A good example, but not exact, is the famous television talk show host, Conan O'brian, who has a small segment every couple of weeks where he has his in-house gaming guru show him a game, and he plays and reacts to the game for his audience. He's entertaining to watch, but let's not compare his personality with mine as I don't find his jokes to be very neutral sometimes. Here's a google link to his video game segments: https://www.google.com/search?q=tea…e&ie=UTF-8
I also plan to make cameos/appearances to other streamers and join them on their adventure in different videos games.
Now I want to lead you into two videos that I appear in which help you see my personality:
In this videos game, PUBG (Player Unknown Battlegrounds), my buddy, Tigerbond, put a small video together of our highlights and funny moments called PUBG Shenanigans. In this particular video, I'm the one the screams "MICHAEL BAY!" You'll be able to distinguish my voice in other parts of this video: https://goo.gl/UyQwRV
Here's another video game, Rainbow Six Siege, where I'm screaming "FBI! FBI!" and "Child Services!" This particular video actually made it to the front page of reddit for a couple of horus, and also 500k views on Facebook. It went viral because of the "shenanigans" we pulled in that one particular session: https://goo.gl/jdbLFj
The personality test, Briggs Myers, says I'm a "Consul." I've been given a rating in January 2016 as an ESFJ-A (Extraversion, Sensing, Feeling, Judging, and I forgot what the A is for! I highly encourage anyone to take this test just for fun.
I'll post the link to the WIKI about ESFJ's, as well as a brief description: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESFJ
16personalities.com would describe ESFJ's as extraordinarily caring, social and popular people, always eager to help.
So, Max, again, thank you for your interest. Good luck!

Ethics Advisory Opinion No. 3
February 8, 1999
Issued By: City Attorney's Office
Under what circumstances is a City Councilmember required to abstain from a matter involving a client of his/her client?
City Councilmember Tim Bannwolf, District 9, has asked under what
circumstances must he abstain from a matter involving a client of his outside
client under the Ethics Code of the City of
Mr. Bannwolf is a member of the San Antonio City Council and an attorney whose clients include Strausburger & Price, L.L.P. Strausburger & Price represents, among others, the San Antonio Spurs. In December 1998, Councilmember Bannwolf abstained from voting on the tax increment finance ("TIF") issue involving the Spurs as any action taken would have an effect on his client that was distinguishable from its effect on members of the public.
The issue is under what circumstance is Councilmember Bannwolf required to abstain from matters involving a client of his client. Part B. Section 1[1] of the Code of Ethics states that "a city official . . . shall not take any official action that he . . . knows is likely to affect substantially the economic interest of, [among other things], his . . . outside client." Such action is defined as action "likely to have an effect on interest that is distinguishable from its effect on members of the public in general or a substantial segment thereof," and must be determined on a case by case basis.
Council Member Bannwolf poses four (4) scenarios:
A vote on the TIF involving the San Antonio Spurs;
A zoning case involving a developer client of Strausburger & Price;
An exemption from the City's portion of the state sales tax for all local car dealers, of which Strausburger & Price represents a few car dealerships; and
An action imposing higher impact fees on developers, of which Strausburger & Price represents a few real estate development companies.
Under scenario one (1), any action taken by Councilmember Bannwolf would have a direct economic impact on a client of his outside client, the effect being a loss of a client. Such effect has an impact separate and apart from the impact on the public or a segment thereof. Therefore, Councilmember Bannwolf correctly abstained from voting on the tax increment finance ("TIF") issue involving the Spurs.
Scenarios three (3) and four (4), on the other hand, have substantially the same effect on all those in similarly situated businesses. Therefore, Councilmember Bannwolf may participate in any action as long as the effect remains the same for the public or a substantial segment thereof. Once an effect can be distinguished between an individual client and the public in general, Councilmember Bannwolf must recuse and disclose himself.
Finally, scenario two (2) must be evaluated on a case by case basis. For example, a real estate development project contingent on the outcome of a zoning hearing may have an economic impact on Councilmember Bannwolf's client should Strausburger and Price represent the project, the effect being the fees paid to his client or the lack thereof. In such instance, Councilmember Bannwolf would be required to recuse himself and disclose the conflict.
Moreover, property considered for rezoning must be approved by the councilmember in whose district the property lays. Should a property fall within Councilmember Bannwolf's district, District 9, and should his client, Strausburger and Price represent the owner of such property, the effect of any action taken by Councilmember Bannwolf may be distinguishable from the effect on the public at large, and he would be required to recuse and disclose himself. As is evident in the two (2) examples presented, issues involving the zoning of property must be evaluated on a particular set of facts in determining whether recusal and disclosure are required.
City officials are required to recuse themselves and disclose the nature of any prohibited contact in any official action that they know is likely to affect the economic interests of, among other things, their client. The economic impact on the client, however, must be distinguishable from the economic impact on the public, or a segment thereof, and must be evaluated on a case by case basis.

Product Description
PureMate® Ultrasonic Cool and Warm mist Humidifier with Ioniser and Aroma Function
The compact, stylishly designed PM-805 is an ideal humidifier purifier for smaller and Large space. It offers negative ions option that makes it a dual purpose: humidifier as well as an ionic air purifier. The unit offers cool & warm mist and visible Blue night light as well as Low / Medium/HI speed to set desired level of Mist.
Why HUMIDIFY THE AIR?: When the air is dry, especially in the winter months, it can become unpleasant and even unhealthy, leading to increased levels of static electricity, dry skin with cracked lips and even noise bleeds. Optimal humidity is between 45 to 55% relative humidity. During the winter months though, relative humidity in the average home can drop to below 20%.
Low humidity can lead to a variety of conditions that cause ill health. Dust particles, bacteria, viruses, dust mite feces that are normally trapped by the moist nasal membrane lining in the nose can more easily get into the lungs when the air is dryer and thus reduce the body's natural defense mechanism. These invaders overload the immune system and irritate the mucous membranes resulting in more coughing and susceptibility to disease.
The PM 805 is an ideal ultrasonic humidifier for homes, apartments, offices and anywhere there is low humidity. Ultrasonic water vapor is highly beneficial to individuals. Their biggest advantage is high performance combined with low energy consumption.
HOW ULTRASONIC HUMIDIFIERS WORKs? : Ultrasonic Humidifiers use ultrasonic high frequency oscillation to break up water into tiny water particles about 1.5 microns in diameter. The ventilation system blows out the water particles into the dry air where they evaporate and create the required humidity level. The water particles appear as a steady stream of mist or fog as they travel up and out of the machine.
- Advanced digital technology can produce either cold or Hot mist.
- Added benefit of Aroma function for increases therapeutic capabilities
- Permanent, easy-to-clean ceramic nano-silver filter for control of white dust, mould and bacteria.
- Safely and automatically shuts off when it runs out of water.
- Low energy consumption - can save 85-90% of electricity costs compared to a normal steam humidifier.
- Consumes less power than a 30 watt light bulb.
- Solid state digital controls and ceramic transducer ensure a long product life – One Year Warranty.
- No added costs for wicks, evaporating pads or disposable filters.

Gurugram, October 03, 2017: SpiceJet, the country's favourite low-cost
carrier, today launched its 50th destination – Dibrugarh by introducing daily flight
services on the Guwahati – Dibrugarh route. SpiceJet is the first airline to offer
daily direct air connectivity between Guwahati and Dibrugarh. The traditional flag-off
and lamp-lighting ceremonies were held at the Dibrugarh airport. The new flight will
further connect Dibrugarh with Silchar via Guwahati.
The flag-off ceremony was graced by Hon'ble Chief Minister of Assam Shri Sarbananda
Sonowal, Shri Chandra Mohan Patowary, Cabinet Minister, Assam, Mr. D K Kamra
Regional Executive Director AAI, Mr B K Tailong Airport Director Guwahati AAI,
Comdt L K Haokip CISF along with Mr. Debojo Maharshi
Chief Marketing Officer, SpiceJet. The first passenger was welcomed by Spicejet
officials and the ceremony finally came to a conclusion with the flagging-off the
flight SG 3214 at 10.40 am, from the Dibrugarh Airport.
In line with the aviation tradition to mark key milestones, the homecoming journey of
SpiceJet's SG 3213 deployed on the Guwahati-Dibrugarh route was greeted with a grand
water cannon salute at the Dibrugarh Airport.
With the launch of the new service, SpiceJet will put Dibrugarh on the pan India
aviation map through seamless onward connections on its network. This is in perfect
sync with the airline's agenda to connect smaller cities and it further strengthens
SpiceJet's focus on North-East India. SpiceJet will be operating its Bombardier Q400
aircrafts on the said routes.
Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, Hon'ble Chief Minister of Assam said "We thank
SpiceJet and especially Mr. Ajay Singh for accepting our request and inducting
Dibrugarh onto SpiceJet's network with such priority. This means a fresh impetus to
trade, tourism and connectivity between northeastern states and adjoining regions. I
truly applaud SpiceJet's relentless efforts towards taking flying to the masses and
elevating North East on the country's aviation map."
On the occasion of the flagging off ceremony, Mr. Debojo Maharshi Chief Marketing
Officer, SpiceJet said, "The north eastern region has a distinctive connectivity
constraint on account of its difficult terrain and hence SpiceJet has always remained
committed to enhancing connectivity to this region. We are extremely pleased to induct
Dibrugarh, which also marks it as the 50th destination on SpiceJet's network."
"I want to convey my regards for the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Assam Shri Sarbananda

Nixon Cuts Higher Education Funding For Third Straight Year
JEFFERSON CITY - Gov. Jay Nixon announced cuts to higher education for the third straight year Friday, restricting about one percent of funding for fiscal year 2013.
The elimination of $8.8 million for colleges and universities accounts for more than half of Nixon's $15 million in overall cuts to the budget. He criticized the General Assembly for transferring funds from early childhood education and disaster relief to higher education, calling his budget an "initial step to keep this budget balanced.
"There were areas where the legislature failed to continue funding for critically important programs," Nixon said. "Cutting newborn screenings, early childhood education and disaster recovery and moving those funds to higher education is not the right path for our state."
Nixon, who also said he vetoed three minor programs accounting for about $240,000 in the budget, said the cuts were necessary because of bad revenue projections by the legislature. He said the budget that lawmakers sent to his office would actually create a $50 million shortfall, accusing the General Assembly of relying on $35 million in lottery funds. Nixon said he did not believe the lottery revenue would actually materialize, and he said the state also still has financial obligations to pay for Joplin relief.
Nixon said the General Assembly's budget was "out-of-balance by $50 million," but his cuts account for $15 million of that shortfall. Citing recent economic growth in Missouri and a drop in the unemployment rate, Nixon said he expects the state's recovery to help make up the extra $35 million.
If the economy does not improve as he expects, however, Nixon did not offer a plan to make further cuts. He said he could not identify any specific programs in danger of cuts, and he instead stood by the cuts he announced on Friday.
"I think people can see from what I've done today what the road map is forward," Nixon said. "My hope and expectations is that we continue to see positive economic growth."
"It is what it is, we are where we are."
The budget for fiscal year 2013 takes effect July 1.

Many are wondering how on earth Pembrokeshire chief executive, Bryn Parry-Jones, is still in his job. This is not the first time Pembrokeshire has let down its most vulnerable residents and I mentioned the previous trail of destruction back in 2011.
Many will be reminded of the case of Delyth Jenkins in Carmarthenshire who, after witnessing an assault on a vulnerable lady in a council run day centre by a member of staff, was treated appallingly by the senior management of the council when she raised her concerns.
No one is suggesting that whistleblowing is an easy area to manage, and great care, diligence and professional understanding is vital for both accuser and alleged perpetrator during any investigation. But the message which comes out of Pembrokeshire, and, from the people who have contacted me, in Carmarthenshire as well, is that whistleblowing policies are not worth the paper they're written on when there exists such a culture of bullying and intimidation towards anyone who dares raise their head above the parapet.
Pembrokeshire, back in 2011, was accused of being more concerned about the reputation of the council, and of course, those in charge, than the welfare of vulnerable children.
It is enormously difficult for employees to raise concerns when they are very well aware that the consequences could mean not only a deliberate smear campaign against them both personally, and in the workplace, but dismissal from their job. Council employees who have contacted me over the years have done so in desperation, and in confidence, more often than not actually frightened of repercussions for their families and livelihoods.
As a footnote, one particular anecdote, in the form of a document received some time ago, struck something of a chord; one of the reasons it did so, perhaps, was because it was a sworn statement, an Affidavit witnessed by a solicitor.
It contains allegations concerning events at a council in the north of England way back in the 1990s.
During a management restructuring process it became evident that a senior director had his sights on the dismissal of a particular junior officer.
The junior officer took the matter to a tribunal and part of his case was that he'd never been given the proper employment documentation in the first place. The sworn statement alleged that the senior director, on the day before the tribunal took place, instructed an administrator, under threat of dismissal, to write up the documentation, backdate it by several months and after making a copy to file, destroy the original. According to the sworn statement, the director then gave evidence, under oath, at the tribunal that the document was genuine.
Both the administrator, and the line manager, who had passed on the instructions from the senior director, were deeply troubled by what they were being ordered to do, and consequently, were both eventually squeezed out of their jobs.
Unfortunately it appears that this culture, which goes to the very heart of accountability, in our councils, and elsewhere is as endemic now as it ever was.
Update 17th July; Pembrokeshire Council did discuss the matter in private and it went to a vote - he's going to be allowed to keep the loot. The vote, apparently was recorded and I'm sure the Pembrokeshire bloggers will have more details soon.
Other than calls in the press from Jonathan Edwards MP, Carmarthenshire Councillors have not asked Mark James to repay his tax avoidance pension cash or the libel indemnity money, both of which were unlawful, or illegal, much the same thing in my view. Anyway, Kevin Madge wouldn't dream of asking him something so impertinent....

Down Two in the Third Quarter, Should the Packers Have Kicked the Extra Point?
While most of the talk around the Packers victory over the Cowboys will center around the huge incompletion reversal (56% Dallas win probability to 81% Green Bay win probability) and Rodgers stellar play on a bad calf, there were two interesting decisions in the second half, both of which, Troy Aikman had plenty to say about.
The first decision: After scoring a touchdown to be down 21-19 with 1:41 left in the third quarter, should the Packers have gone for two? My immediate reaction was, yes. It's always better to know what you will need and have the information.

Hydramafizzation! Fo' shizzle! God, it is so unfortunate to find this in Paris. Do I need to mention that it's made in the U.S.? Probably not.
There's a Chinese restaurant right next to our front door, actually located underneath our building. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm a bit dubious as it offers not just Chinese but also Vietnamese and Thai food... their sheer lack of focus is a turnoff for me. So is this guy, he scares me a bit:
Here's some more from the apartment interior and building. I'm enjoying myself immensely and want to stay forever.

Fresh Eggs
If you've ever kept a flock of chickens, you're probably aware of a basic perversity of homestead life: While your family's consumption of eggs tends to remain fairly constant year round . . . your hens' production of the delicious edibles doesn't.
Is there a way to level out this feast-or-famine scheme of things . . . is there a way for you to stash away one month's surplus cackleberries and then eat 'em, say, six or eight months later?
Yep. Several forms of egg storage are supposed to make it possible for you to do just that. As MOTHER's continuing tests have already proven, however, some of those "guaranteed" methods of storage work a whole lot better than others!
According to an old joke, "The best way to keep an egg fresh is to keep it in the chicken." A heck of a bunch of MOTHER readers, though, must find that a little hard to do. Because if we've been asked once since founding this magazine, we've been asked a thousand times, "is there any way I can save one month's surplus eggs … and then use them six or eight months later?"
Well, for several years, we answered that question by recommending one or another (or several) of the "guaranteed, gen-u-wine egg preservation" methods that we'd run across in old farm magazines, ancient Department of Agriculture pamphlets, and other sources. And, although we usually asked the folks we'd advised to let us know how the ideas worked, we never seemed to hear from them again . . . .
And that left us with, at best, an uneasy feeling. "What happened, anyway?" we asked each other. "Did the idea (or ideas) work? Were the eggs good? After how long? Were they bad? When did they go bad? And how bad did they get? Could they still have been eaten in a pinch? Maybe they were still good, but they just changed color . . . or texture . . . or something. WHAT HAPPENED, ANYWAY?"
So we mulled that over for a while and finally, about seven months ago, we figured that enough was enough. "By grannies," we told each other, "we'll just set up a test that'll — once and for all — answer all the questions we have about storing fresh eggs."
And that's exactly what we did. We went out and bought ourselves 30 dozen guaranteed fresh, washed, uniform-sized, agribiz-type, unfertile, supermarket eggs from a wholesaler . . . and we also rounded up another 30 dozen fresh, unwashed, nonuniform, homestead-type, fertile, non-supermarket eggs.

The Wharf Housekeeping Units are located right across from the French River N. wharf, at the head of one of the most beautiful rivers in Prince Edward Island. French River is 10 miles west of Cavendish on P.E.I.'s north shore and is surrounded by a number of excellent public beaches, just minutes away from "The Wharf". There is a family style golf course near the village, plus four championship style courses all within a 15 mile radius.
The village of French River is right in the middle of "Anne country". The "Anne of Green Gables Museum" (the homestead, owned by Lucy Maud Montgomery's aunt and uncle where she spent her summers writing and relaxing and where she was married) is just 1 mile north on Route 20 and the "Lucy Maud Birthplace" just 4 miles east.
The resort community of Cavendish is only 10 miles from French River and offers a number of attractions and theme parks, such as "Shining Waters Family Fun Park", "Sandspit" and "Avonlea Village". The cities of Charlottetown and Summerside are 35 miles and 25 miles respectively, from French River. The town of Kensington sits 10 miles to the west and has eateries, grocery stores, a drug store and an excellent liquor outlet.

I wanted to wish my wonderful husband a happy birthday! Today is his 29th birthday and I know he is a little bummed that he wasn't able to make it home in time. But, I promise we'll have a big birthday celebration when you get home, sweetie! Every year Nathan asks for a German Chocolate Cake but I found a new cake recipe I wanted to try and he is graciously letting me change tradition! Keep an eye out for that at the end of the month! :)
Now, since it is Nathan's birthday, I thought I would post one of Nathan's favorites. He LOVES, LOVES, LOVES butterscotch blondies. I made these a few weeks ago and surprised him with them and a birthday package. He didn't think I was sending anything to Iraq since we had decided to wait to celebrate until he got home. But, I couldn't not send him anything. So, off went a package with a present and some goodies!
I love you, Nathan, and hope your birthday is as wonderful as it can be in Iraq! See you so soon!!!
Butterscotch Blondies
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter
1 3/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 TBSP vanilla
2 eggs
11 oz butterscotch morsels
Preheat oven to 350.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat butter, sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Add eggs. Gradually add dry ingredients. Mix in 1 cup of morsels.
Spread into 9x13 pan and sprinkle with remaining morsels. Bake 30-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Happy birthday to Nathan! And I can't believe he is coming home in 8 days - hooray for you both!
And you've got so much good stuff on your blog, I don't know where to begin. I've made Mexican Wedding Cakes for years but never thought to use chocolate chips instead of pecans. Duh! And snowballs is an appropriate name for them - I like that.
Everything looks so good - and butterscotch blondies are such a nice idea. But the orange butter cookies are going to be next on my list, which seems to be growing by the minute -

We love blondies TOO! I can't wait to print this recipe out and give it a try! I have some butterscotch ganache that I bet would taste wonderful poured over the blondies.
I'll let you know how it goes!
Happy Birthday to your honey!

How can I buy a Louisville, Jefferson County Kentucky HUD Home?
Anyone can purchase a Louisville, Jefferson County HUD Home as long as you have the cash to purchase the home or you can qualify for a loan to purchase it. Louisville, Jefferson County HUD Homes are sold through a bid process and you will need a HUD-approved real estate agent to assist you with that bid process. HUD will even pay that real estate agent's fee.
Louisville, Jefferson County HUD Homes are sold 'as-is,' without warranty. That means that HUD will not pay to correct any problems. But even if a Louisville, Jefferson County HUD Home needs fixing up - and not all of them do - it can be a real bargain! For example, HUD's asking price on the home will reflect the fact that the buyer will have to invest money to make improvements. HUD might offer special incentives such as an allowance to upgrade the property, a moving expense allowance, or a bonus for closing the sale early. And keep in mind that on most sales, the buyer can request HUD to pay all or a portion of the financing and closing costs. Your real estate agent will have details.
We encourage you to get the home professionally inspected before you make an offer so you will know what repairs you may have to make BEFORE you submit your bid.
Start your Louisville, Jefferson County HUD Home buying process by finding a participating real estate agent. Your real estate agent must submit your bid for you. Normally, Louisville, Jefferson County HUD Homes are sold in an 'Offer Period'. At the end of the Offer Period, all offers are opened and, basically, the highest reasonable bid is accepted. If the home isn't sold in the initial Offer Period, you can submit a bid until the home is sold. Bids can be submitted any day of the week, including weekends and holidays. They will be opened the next business day. If your bid is acceptable to HUD, your real estate agent will be notified, usually within 48 hours. You'll be given a settlement date, normally within 30-60 days, by which you need to arrange financing and close the sale.

Case Studies
Showing how material from crime scenes can be linked to criminal activity in different force areas.
NABIS Ballistics Expert Gregg Taylor has been given a Chief Constable's award for his work on Operation Cookie, which saw a gang of men jailed for supplying firearms.
Gregg received the team award on Tues 17 January from West Midlands Police Chief Constable Dave Thompson. Gregg shared the award with 12 others, including police officers and staff from the Crown Prosecution Service.
The major investigation began in April 2014 and resulted in 18 men being handed custodial sentences. Detectives intercepted the movement of weapons from suppliers to buyers on five separate occasions, resulting in the recovery of a total of eight firearms. These included a MAC-10 machine gun and pump action shotgun which were found buried in a garden in Aston, Birmingham - as well as thousands of rounds of ammunition.
Prosecutors said Nosakhere Stephenson, described as a central figure with the notorious Burger Bar gang, masterminded the operation to supply guns (some of which were antique).
In a landmark ruling in March 2016 the original sentences were quashed and increased jail terms were given for 16 offenders. The Solicitor General Robert Buckland QC had argued the original sentences handed down at Birmingham Crown Court were too lenient. In total the gang will be spending around 51 extra years behind bars.
The citation for the award reads: "This operation has made the streets of the West Midlands significantly safer and a network of criminals who were supplying firearms to networks across Birmingham has been convicted. Each of the individuals being awarded have played a major part in the success of this operation, including police officers, police staff and members of the prosecution team who were individually and collectively superb throughout.
"Aside from their professionalism, innovation and judgement, this team's ceaseless working regime achieved what many thought was impossible. The defendants are now serving lengthy custodial sentences."
Gregg, who is based at the forensic lab in Birmingham, has worked for NABIS since the organisation began in 2008. He said: "I was very pleased to be awarded a Chief Constables Team Award for my involvement in Operation Cookie. It was a complex and demanding piece of forensic work which helped to 'link' incidents together. As a NABIS Ballistics Expert, I am proud to have played a part in helping to secure significant custodial sentences for the notorious defendants involved."
Head of NABIS, Detective Chief Superintendent Jo Chilton, attended the awards ceremony. She said: "It's good to see the contribution of NABIS in these complex firearms investigations being recognised. Well done Gregg, I know the enormous amount of work that went into this case."
NABIS work with police forces across the UK to help detect gun crime and has ballistics experts and forensic labs in Manchester, London and Scotland, as well as Birmingham.

If you make it a habit of watching Spanish-language TV, their "New Race" might be familiar to you from a Toyota Corolla commercial from a few years back. And if Deniz doesn't drive a Hemi Slant-Six Wayfarer, we know he'd wanna be rolling in this Mercury Comet converted to Ranchero-style Ute duty.

text: We are delighted to present the logo for World Meeting of Families 2018. The logo is protected by copyright, please read the guidelines for the use of WMOF2018's logo if you intend to reproduce it. Thank you. Download a print-friendly PDF of this page here. The Meaning of the logo for World Meeting of Families 2018 At the Heart of the Logo At the heart of the logo is the family. Family members are represented in different ages and roles while walking together in communion and love, helping one another through the journey of life. No one is excluded, no one is left behind. Couples, elderly, single, widowed, consecrated, clergy, children, all are important members of our families and all are invited to participate of WMOF2018. An International and Ecological Event The map of the world shows that families from all around the globe will come to Ireland for what will be a truly international event. While we see only a glimpse of the continents, they represent the whole world: the common home of all families, entrusted to us by God. In his encyclical letter, Laudato Si, Pope Francis reminds us that families have a vital role to play in caring for our common home. He reminds us that Saint Francis of Assisi described our earth itself as "like a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us". (Cf. Pope Francis, Laudato Si: On Care for our Common Home, n.1). The World Meeting of Families in Dublin, Ireland, will explore how families, as our first home, can help us to care for our common home. The Church, the Family of Families The red semicircle with the cross on the top echoes the logo of the Archdiocese of Dublin, which is the host diocese for WMOF2018. As well as representing God's love, flowing from the cross, embracing all the families of the world, the semicircle and cross also represent the 'dome' of the Church, "a family of families, constantly enriched by the lives of all those domestic churches" (Pope Francis, The Joy of Love, n. 87). In the logo, as in real life, the Church embraces the family, protects the family and supports the family. When our families are stronger, society is stronger, and the Church is stronger. The Cross The cross is the ultimate symbol of the self-sacrificing love of Jesus. Self-sacrificing love is at the very heart of marriage and family life. The rays represent the grace of the Holy Spirit, flowing from the cross and uniting our families in love. Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus dwells within our families and gives us the strength to take up our own crosses and follow him. The cross used in the logo is also a symbol of Ireland's Christian roots and history. Known by many as the "Papal Cross", it stands in the Phoenix Park in Dublin, one of the largest walled city parks in Europe, where, in 1979, over one million Catholics gathered for another major occasion: to welcome, listen and pray with Saint John Paul II, who was also the founder of World Meeting of Families. Christ is the one that gathers us and calls us to come together again in WMOF2018 in Dublin. The Holy Trinity In the Joy of Love, Pope Francis speaks several times of marriage and the family as the "living icon" of the Most Holy Trinity (cf. nos. 11, 121, 161, 314, 324). As the family, through marriage, comes together in mutual self-giving, communion and love, it reflects the mystery of the Holy Trinity and immerses itself in "the mystery from which all true love flows" (n. 63). The tri-spiral swirl in the logo draws from ancient Celtic imagery, to reflect this truth. These triple spirals are found on ancient stones and monuments around Ireland. As Christianity came to Ireland, the tri-spiral, or triskele, began to be used as a symbol of the Holy Trinity, together with the well-known shamrock, associated with St Patrick. St. Patrick, tradition has it, used the shamrock to explain the mystery of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit united, as one family: one God and three Divine Persons, in a perfect communion of love. Location and Date The logo includes the date and location chosen by Pope Francis to host the next World Meeting of Families: Dublin, Ireland, 21-26 August 2018. It is a great joy and responsibility for us in Ireland to host this event and the logo includes a direct invitation to families and individuals from all over the world to come and join us for the event. Design and Usage The logo for the World Meeting of Families 2018 was designed by Ronan Lynch, from Lynch Design, with the support of Aid to the Church in Need (Ireland). Copyright Notice WMOF2018 is the sole copyright owner of the logo for World Meeting of Families 2018. Dioceses, Parishes and Church organisations can use the logo, for non-commercial purposes only. Permission for its use by other organisations or for commercial purposes is required. Please read the guidelines for the use of the logo here as terms and conditions apply.

NAMM 2011: Rivera Shaman Guitar Pedals
January 17, 2011 by Charlie
NAMM 2011 — Rivera Shaman Making their surprise debut last Friday alongside the all-new Rockcrusher attenuator, Rivera have announced a new range of stompboxes – the first to be released under the Rivera name for thirty years.
The Shaman range kicks off with three very different overdrive pedals: the Blues Shaman is aimed at blues players; the Metal Shaman is for metallists – naturally; and for everything else the Double Shaman promises to be a highly versatile performer, with two channels called LA and Austin.
Rivera Blue Shaman
"Way back in 1976 I was modifying a variety of pedals from other manufacturers, as well as building custom pedals and effects racks," comments Paul Rivera Sr. "If you listen to Supertramp or Toto, those are my special chorus units. Between 1979 to 1983 or so, I also built a line of pedals called the Buff series. I'm really excited about the new Shaman range. One thing they're not is another bunch of 808 clones."
Rivera Metal Shaman
Given that Paul's sonic wizardry has been behind the signature tones of some of the world's greatest players over the years, including Larry Carlton, Robben Ford, Steve Lukather, Jay Graydon, Doyle Dykes and Slipknot's Mick Thomson, to name just a few, we're pretty excited too.
Rivera Double Shaman
Powered by 9V battery or a regulated DC adapter, these pedals are so new that pricing has yet to be finalized; however, in the US the Double and Metal Shamans are expected to be just under $300, with the Blues Shaman at around $250.

England Lions 346 (Wright 69, Batty 64, Patel 64, Mahmood 52, Thompson 4-98) and 56 for 0 lead New Zealand A 243 (Young 71, Thompson 60, Davies 4-47) by 159 runs
Fast bowler Mark Davies took four wickets to help England Lions dismiss New Zealand A for 243 in their first innings in Lincoln, giving the visitors a valuable first-innings lead of 103. That advantage had been stretched to 159 by stumps, with the England Lions openers added an unbeaten 56.
The day began with England Lions on 331 for 9 in their first innings and Sajid Mahmood clubbed 12 runs to reach his half-century before he was bowled with the score on 346.
New Zealand A had a terrible start to their innings, losing opener Aaron Redmond in the second over with the score on one. Davies had given England Lions the early advantage and he struck thrice more to reduce the hosts to 59 for 5. New Zealand A were in danger of being bowled out for cheap until Reece Young and Ewen Thompson rescued the innings with half-centuries.
Young scored 71 off 105 balls and Thompson hit ten fours and a six in his innings of 60 off 56 balls. The pair added 83 for the sixth wicket and helped their team recover to 225 for 6. However, another collapse triggered by Gareth Batty (3-49) and Mahmood resulted in the hosts being dismissed for 243.
England Lions had 19 overs to face and Stephen Moore and Robert Key remained unbeaten on 29 and 25 respectively.

French Montana has revealed a new documentary, Project: Unforgettable — "My Project, Their Reality."
Related: Wiz Khalifa, French Montana to Star in 'The After Party'
The movie follows the rapper on his journey to creating his 2017 album, Jungle Rules, and includes his trip to Kampala, Uganda. That's where he met up with Ugandan dance crew, Triplets Ghetto Kids, for his "Unforgettable" music video.
"I built the whole documentary and trip around, if you're not rich at heart you'll never be rich," Montana told Noisey. "That's what I got from the whole experience."
The film also documents Montana's efforts to help build the Suubi Health Centre. He donated $100,000 to the maternity facility to help speed up its construction.
