1) My color order is white, yellow, darker yellow, orange, darker orange, Darkest orange, red, darker red, purple, darker purple
2) The hardest part about the batik process was having colors planned because it is difficult to know what each color will look like.
3) I learned that it is important to understand the color wheel so you can predict what the batik will look like in the next step.
4) I wish that I would have had a better understanding of where to wax to purposefully enhance the focus point.
5) If I could do one thing differently with my batik it would be to go with cold colors because If it touches another batik it it typically easier to fix because the cold colors are darker.

Australia's prime minister has said he is disappointed that excerpts of an off-the-record speech he gave at Parliament House parodying US president Donald Trump have been broadcast by a television network.
Malcolm Turnbull made fun of Mr Trump and the Australian government's dismal opinion polls during a light-hearted speech at a ball hosted by the Federal Parliamentary Press Gallery.
Mr Turnbull's first telephone conversation with Mr Trump in January over a refugee resettlement deal was, in Mr Trump's words, "testy". But the two leaders made a public show of friendship when they met for the first time in May.
While the Australian PM is rarely critical of Mr Trump in public, he mocked the president off-the-record.
Mr Turnbull's comments were apparently recorded on a phone and broadcast by Australia's Nine Network on Thursday.

|What is already created can still be streamed online.
Director Giamoco Talmini released a YouTube statement, saying "As you know, it took us a long time to start working on a sequel for MGS Philanthropy Part 1 and that was mainly because we were afraid of confusing someone else's IP." Kojima-sans excitement for the second part of the film got the team started once again, however problems came about.
It looks like the small excerpt from Part 2 is all the world will get to see of the film. For more news on Metal Gear Solid or games today, stay tuned to The Jesters Court."Unfortunately, in these very last few days, we were finally told what the situation is with the Metal Gear license... We were told that Philanthropy could not be officially authorized. And compared to when we made part one, the risk we would face in producing MGSP2 without being officially authorized would be far too great. So, Philanthropy officially ends here."Continued, Talamini said, "We knew this might've happened. And we have nothing against the creators of Metal Gear, the saga that we all love and will continue to love."

European roads too dangerous for young people
In the WHO European Region, road traffic injuries kill about 100 children and young people aged under 25 every day. For every death, there are on average 35 non-fatal injuries, often with long-term effects on victims' health. Pedestrians killed on the roads often include children under 10 years, as they are less able to cope with traffic risks. Similarly, children and young people aged over 15 are more likely to die from road crashes as car occupants or as users of motorcycles and scooters, partly because of their lack of experience. Males comprise some 80% of the people aged 0-24 who are involved in road crashes, because of their greater exposure to and tendency towards risky behaviour such as speeding and drink-driving.
While overall injury death rates are decreasing in many countries in the European Region, they vary widely, and no progress is being made in some countries.
Creating a healthy environment on European roads
Sharing country experiences, reviewing the effectiveness of policies and focusing on high-risk groups are essential to creating healthy and safe environments on European roads. Research has proved that many lives can be saved by:
- improving transport and urban design, and the enforcement of speed limits;
- using stricter driving tests;
- reducing permissible levels of alcohol in drivers' blood;
- requiring motorcyclists and moped drivers to wear helmets, and car occupants to wear seat-belts; and
- creating car-free areas in residential areas with many children.
Important environmental factors contributing to road safety are road design, urban structure and population density, the matching of road design and vehicles, lighting and signs on streets, and road maintenance.
Road safety measures must give priority to vulnerable road users, such as cyclists and pedestrians. Providing safe routes for children to walk or cycle to school not only lowers the number of road traffic injuries but also encourages greater physical activity among young people, this helps to reduce overweight and obesity.
Other injuries
Road traffic injuries cause 39% of deaths among children and young people aged 0-19 years in the European Region, followed by drowning (14%), poisoning (7%), falls (4%) and fires (4%). The latter four causes are estimated to result in around 3 million hospital admissions and 37 million visits to emergency departments among people aged 0-14 years in the European Region.
Fifth Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health
In 2004, the Fourth Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health adopted the Children's Environment and Health Action Plan for Europe (CEHAPE), which includes four regional priority goals to reduce the burden of environment-related diseases in children. The second goal is to reduce mortality and morbidity from injuries, including road traffic injuries, and to ensure the provision of safe conditions that also facilitate more physical activity among children.
WHO has investigated the Region's progress towards reaching the regional priority goals. WHO/Europe published the findings in a series of fact sheets that will contribute to discussions at the Fifth Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health, to be held in Parma, Italy on 10-12 March 2010.

Is anybody going to read your intranet content?
I have to admit as a former Intranet Manager, the question 'is anybody going to read this content?' used to cross my mind on a frequent basis. Usually after I had spent a great deal of time writing an article for the intranet, or after I'd crafted a particularly good email (in my opinion, of course). The feeling was even stronger after I'd spent hours researching and writing a report or a blog post.
To overcome this question I created a short checklist to make my articles more readable and more widely read:
1. Visualise your audience
We offer a 'Writing for Intranets' course and one of the first questions we ask attendees is,'Do you know who you are writing for?'
I asked the same question when writing this article, I presumed it was going to be placed on Interact's customer Community site – (an online community solely for Interact Intranet customers to share knowledge and thoughts about intranet best practice) possibly our main website and maybe even our company intranet. That led to me visualising three target reader personas:
- The Interact Community User – I'm assuming the average user possesses some knowledge about intranets, maybe manages an intranet and is possibly looking to find out best practice.
- The Website User – Maybe you're a prospective customer looking for an intranet, or an industry expert looking to find out what those smart people at Interact Intranet are talking about, or you may be a competitor trying to find out about our mantra and the advice we give.
- The Intranet User – I'm referring to my colleagues within Interact Intranet. As with any forward thinking, learning organisation we like to learn from each other's experiences and knowledge.
These mental profiles are broad and overarching but they helped me to generally assess what you, my reader knows about writing content, which in turn helped me to decide the information I want to share with you.
Going back to the Writing for Intranets' course, another key question we ask is 'Are you writing to inform, persuade or both?' Essentially what do you want your readers to do after they read your content? At the risk of breaking the fourth wall, in my case I'm trying to persuade you to adopt my ideas about content by sharing my experience with you.
2. Attract your reader
I find the following few rules help to increase the chances of my content being read:
Rule 1 – A catchy and relevant title/headline definitely helps to attract readers. A good title should catch a reader's attention, indicating what it is they are about to read. The title of this blog should have indicated that this article is about intranet content and in my opinion is a little bit more interesting than 'Five helpful tips for creating content'.
Rule 2 – On the same note, finding good and relevant images (with appropriate copyright permissions!) can help to attract readers. We all have different learning styles and some of us are more visual than others. The correct use of pictures can help to break up text and add additional context.
Anomaly Alert! – Although relevant pictures are our preferred method, our internal research at Interact has revealed that pictures featuring a recognisable face, are more likely to draw readers attention to a page, rather than an inanimate object.
Rule 3 – Summaries are often neglected, yet they are an excellent way of attracting your reader to the main body of your content. How often do you pick up a book and turn to the back cover and read the synopsis to help us decide if you are going to read it? Try the same with your content writing.
Do you need tips creating an essential intranet? Join Steve Osborne, Intranet Strategist and Matt McCourty, Enterprise Sales Director in a free online webinar; The Essential Intranet Strategy: 10 Key Elements to Intranet Success. Find out more and reserve your place today >>
3. Welcome reader feedback
Whether purposefully or not, we make an emotional investment in what we write; especially when we feel that what we've written is really good. But how do you know your content is being read? Well for this article, I can check the number of people who have visited my article, counting the number of likes and shares across the various platforms. I find comments are a great source of knowledge, including the 'constructive' ones, to help develop my content.
This could be sought by adding an "invitation" to comment or give feedback in the content that is being written.
4. Link to relevant content
In an ideal world, I would like to pretend that I am the first to think of this topic but several informative articles are already on our Community and Website. Linking into other content helps to validate your work and points to relevant useful information for your readers. For example my colleague wrote a great blog recently called, '10 steps to Awesome Intranet Content', which I think you will find beneficial to read alongside this blog.
5. Make your content easy to find
I have seen Content Authors fight to have their content appear on a homepage. However, you don't need to have your content appear on an intranet homepage for it to be found by your target audience.
Tagging your content with the correct keywords is a big weapon in your arsenal to increase findability. The easy option (one that I've been guilty of) is to simply regurgitate your title – perhaps think of a couple of alternative terms. However there is another more fruitful alternative. Going back to knowing your audience, think about what kind of search terms that they would use and work up from there.
Not everyone uses search functions to look for content; there are some of us who like to navigate. Again I'm guilty of this; I often choose to ignore the big shiny search bar and choose to navigate for what I'm looking for. So I have discovered that placing your content in the right area definitely helps.
These are just a few of the tips I bear in mind when writing content for an intranet, but if there are any you think I have missed let me know by adding your comment below:

I always say "holiday" to cover them all, seeing how for some people, their holiday is Hannakuh (did I spell that right?) or Yule, Christmas...so on and so forth. In any event, it wasn't relaxing the whole time (lots of cooking and hyper kids), but it was good! Though it took some discipline to not work today, I enjoyed the time I spent with my family.
I'm seeing a pattern emerging here, when I work so much that I'm becoming addicted to it and have to "make" myself not work on a holiday. That's pretty bad, maybe I should take more time off, LOL. I certainly hope everybody else's holidays went off without a hitch and that they were able to relax more than I did, lol.
My share of the cooking meant that I made my green bean and sweet potato casseroles. I know these may seem 'blah' to those whose families have made them for years, but my family didn't so these dishes are wonderful to me. Besides, I always embellish anything I make, so they certainly don't taste 'bleh'.
I also made a pie I thought I'd made up the recipe to...LMAO! What a fool I am to think I've made up any recipe...pretty much every combination of every food has already been (at least) attempted. When I went to AllRecipes to see what would go good with cranberries and walnuts, I found a ton of these pies on there! Anyway, I found the ingredient combos I thought would work for me and made my own recipe from them. It turned out so good, that I'm posting it here. I didn't have any vanilla ice cream, but this would go great ala mode!
1 can, cranberries (whole berries)
1/2 C. of crushed walnuts (more if you like)
1/4 C. brown sugar
1/3 C. melted butter
1 t. vanilla (+/-)
Mix up and smooth into pie shell. I usually make my own crust (ask anyone who's ever tried my apple pies), but to save on time since I'm always running low these days, I went with Pillsbury Refrigerated. Bake at 350 for approx. 45 min.
NOTE: though it turned out great, the crust was a bit on the thin side for my taste and the filling didn't really fill the pie shell much more than half (I had run out of ingredient, so I couldn't make more than that). If you like thicker crust or heftier filling (possibly a deep dish pie), I'd recommend doubling up this recipe and the crust too!

Meet Junior
Originally from Paris, Junior is probably the most watched b-boy of all time, with over 50 million views on his YouTube videos. His original style and chill personality make him instantly recognizable to dancers across the globe. He's also super active, forever on the go: always performing, battling, and teaching workshops, while keeping his great mood and passion for having fun!
1. What's the best song for warming up?
It depends… some people go for something 'soft' for stretching and focusing, while other people prefer more 'dynamic' stuff to get their energy levels up. For me, it depends on the mood!
2. Favorite thing to do when there are no cameras around?
To joke! I like to really enjoy the day, cos we see each other a lot but in different venues, different atmospheres, different gigs… so we're always busy. When we have time, we like to joke around ;-)
3. What advice would you give your younger self?
I would say to give it your all. To give the best you have for your passion, for what you really love. To really appreciate things and to enjoy every day.
4. What's your favorite Italian dish?
Mhmm… it used to be gnocchi but now I'm more into pizza!
5. What's your biggest fear?
6. What's your ultimate dream?
Nothing really comes to my mind right now cos like, for example, I've traveled a lot. I've been to almost 80 countries… I need to travel more, for sure, but I guess my dream is to continue doing what I love (dancing), for as long as I can.
7. Is this your first time in Rome? If it were a color, which color would it be?
No, it's not! But it's been a long time since I last visited. I always travel for short periods of time so I haven't actually seen a lot, but I'd love to!
If Rome were a color… it would be purple.

I decided this morning that having a special needs child is basically like being on a roller coaster ride that never ends. There's no real final goal or destination; it's just endlessly going, sometimes rolling along up high, sometimes plummeting down so suddenly your breath is taken away.
I always hesitate to post about the more emotional, difficult side of our journey, because I don't want to show myself as negative. I'm not usually. I've spoken for the past 2 years, though, about how sometimes it just catches up and overwhelms. I have a few bad days, I shake it off, and I carry on.
This time, it's how Danny seems to always master something, and we get so excited, and then he just…stops. For a while he was saying "hi" when we said it to him, then he stopped. For a while he was showing off his tummy when we asked where it was, then he stopped. Other times he'll show something once that is obviously not a fluke, like stopping short when we ask where his monkey is and turning around to pick it up, or echoing "mown" after we ask if he wants down, and then he'll never repeat it. Enough of those add up and it's like there's an overflow point where I start to obsess.
Is it all just coincidental timing and he's not really learning these things?
Is he losing skills because his calcification from the CMV makes it impossible for him to retain?
They say something about losing skills and autism – is he autistic?
Is he ever going to learn to listen and speak?
Did we put him through 7 hours of surgery for it to fail?
Breathe, Kelly, breathe.
The truth is – and I know this! – there are no answers for us right now. Whatever he will or won't do, he's going to do it, and he's going to do it on his own time. Instead of all those other things he used to do, he's trying to sing now, and learning all the actions to songs we sing a lot both at home and at school. My husband tells me to be patient, and my initial reaction is, "It's been 2 freaking years already – how much longer do I need to wait!"
As long as it takes.
I stared out the window after he said it last night, watching paramedics take a stretcher out of the back of an ambulance and disappear into a neighbor's house, and took a few deep breaths. He's here. He's healthy, which is a miracle all to itself that we don't have to deal with hospital visits and medical fragility. He's walking, and eating, and laughing, and snuggling, and making cheesy faces for the camera, and rolling trains across his train table and up the wall and over my leg, all because he can.
So the roller coaster starts its slow climb again, because the drops are quick but the rises are slow, and then we'll be sailing along again. After all, any ride with this adorable child (who has to be one of the cutest kids on the face of the planet, seriously!) can't be too bad.

For many children and teens, the experience of being bullied in school is one that scars them for life. In recent years, much attention has been given to this problem. Articles appear consistently on the internet, in newspapers and in magazines regarding bullying in school.
Many schools have established anti-bullying programs. Parents are more involved with this issue more than they were a generation ago. Parents talk to their children about how wrong it is to bully others and parents are there for their children if they find out that their children are being bullied.
Despite all this attention and focus however, it's a sad reality that bullying in schools is still very prevalent.
How common is bullying in school?
A recent study concluded that 22 percent of children ages 12-18 reported that they have been bullied in the just the past month. A study involving 6th graders reported that nearly half of the students said they were bullied by classmates during a five day period.
Verbal bullying reportedly affects approximately 75% of all students. Approximately 75% of teenagers report being bullied online at least once during a 12 month period. The bottom line is that we are just n the beginning stages of solving the problem of bullying in schools.
We can stop bullying in schools
Bullying is still a very prevalent problem. We must work together to ensure that this problem is taken seriously in our schools and that each school develops a comprehensive plan to prevent bullying as much as possible and to stop it once an incident occurs.
You can work with your child to confront bullies at school. You can advocate for your child with teachers and the school administration.

First Position Trailer (2011)
In the competitive world of classical dance, practice, discipline and perfection are paramount. First Position is a documentary that follows six young dancers as they compete for awards and elite scholarships at one of the most prestigious children's ballet competitions in the world: the Youth America Grand Prix.
Dancers from around the globe travel to New York each year for this hard-earned chance to compete. Eleven-year-old Aran lives in Naples, Italy, with his United States– military family and travels two hours every morning to practice with his French ballet teacher in Rome. Adopted from an orphanage in Sierra Leone when she was very young, fourteen-year-old Michaela dreams of going to the American Ballet Theatre's JKO School. Seventeen-year-old Rebecca is finishing high school, looks like the quintessential classical ballet dancer and hopes to find a paid position with a corps de ballet, even though opportunities are slim. In a ballet-driven family, ten-year-old Jules and twelve-year-old Miko train together daily, but differ in their passion and commitment to the art form. Born in Colombia but separated from his family because of training, sixteen-year-old Joan works tirelessly in the hopes of landing a scholarship with the Royal Ballet School in London.
Director Bess Kargman interviews the competitors, their families, their ballet teachers and choreographers, and we learn of the many sacrifices — physical, emotional and financial — all for the sake of ballet. The kids' love for dance helps them struggle through bloodied feet, near exhaustion and debilitating injuries, all while navigating the drama and changes that come with adolescence.
These beautiful and graceful dancers make it all seem so effortless onstage, yet entering the world of professional ballet and making it a career requires an extra reserve of tenacity, talent and passion. First Position introduces us to some of the most gifted young ballet stars of tomorrow. Be prepared to be moved and inspired by their stunning and memorable performances.
This film is recommended for ages nine and up.
N.B. Brief scene of a man smoking; one disturbing image of a child solider and a graphic story of civil war.

Cutting-edge lighting comes to Joburg
By Nicole Barnes (Editor, ProSystems Africa News)
In May of this year, the City of Joburg opened the new Council Chambers in Braamfontein. The 38-metre tall structure is set to be the first project in an extensive plan to rejuvenate the whole precinct- which is surrounded by landmarks such as the iconic Constitutional Hill and the Joburg Theatre Complex, among others. The district will also offer office space for Joburg Council members, as well as metropolitan entity employees in a single, centrally managed area once the project is complete.
The original City of Johannesburg Council Chambers were built in 1973. Over time, the building has fallen into disrepair and in 2015 the city opted to construct a new building for the City Council.
The new Council Chambers can accommodate 361 councillors and officials in a single meeting space- complete with fully integrated modern communication and public address technology courtesy of Dimension Data. The Chamber has a second-floor gallery that circumvents the ground-floor meeting space and can hold 160 spectators, including media members and visitors to the Council Chambers. The building also features a spacious informal caucus space behind the gallery and chamber, and a large entrance with amenities.
The building is engineered to be completely transparent, with vertical columns holding enormous glass panels in place around the periphery of the building. This means that passers-by can see right into the chambers during meetings, representing the "openness and accountability that the city of Johannesburg aspires to deliver."

Planting a revolution
François Tardieu, Research Director at the Joint Research Unit for Ecophysiology of Plants under Environmental Stress at INRA Montpellier, is the winner of the 2014 Agricultural Research Award for Scientific Excellence. As Director of LEPSE for eight years, he has led the laboratory in its development of high-throughput phenotyping, making it a world leader in the discipline.
François Tardieu studies the connections between agronomy and "hard science", analysing the behaviour of plants under environmental stress and creating models which have become references in the field. He has published 130 articles in peer-reviewed journals, with papers being cited over 300 times.
To the question "What does INRA mean to you?", he replies "Today's international scientific community is dominated by big mercenaries who change their teams' research subjects to get on the cover of Nature. INRA, which takes ideas to the next level, is a good antidote. While I haven't always initially been supported in my choices, I've been allowed to see them through, even when they're not (yet) in style! I wish young researchers the same luck".

Richard Cloward and Francis Fox Piven figured we could make the entire population of the country government dependent -- and thus 'equal' -- by overwhelming state welfare systems and forcing federal bureaucrats to wield power.
The problem, of course, is that most white people prefer to live independent of government intrusion and prefer personal liberty. Most white folks think it shameful to live on the dole.
To remedy such silliness, the predatory left via Cloward and Piven, determined to import welfare-dependent individuals.
Is this what's happening? You decide.
From our source we read:
Continue reading ►
In the mid-sixties at the height of the "social revolution" the line between democratic benevolence and outright communism became rather blurry. The Democratic Party, which controlled the presidency and both houses of Congress, was used as the springboard by social engineers to introduce a new era of welfare initiatives enacted in the name of "defending the poor", also known as the "Great Society Programs". These initiatives, however, were driven by far more subversive and extreme motivations, and have been expanded on by every presidency since, Republican and Democrat alike.
At Columbia University, sociologist professors Richard Cloward and Francis Fox Piven introduced a political strategy in 1966 in an article entitled 'The Weight Of The Poor: A Strategy To End Poverty'. This article outlined a plan that they believed would eventually lead to the total transmutation of America into a full-fledged centralized welfare state (in other words, a collectivist enclave). The spearpoint of the Cloward-Piven strategy involved nothing less than economic sabotage against the U.S.
Theoretically, according to the doctrine, a condition of overwhelming tension and strain could be engineered through the overloading of American welfare rolls, thereby smothering the entitlement program structure at the state and local level. The implosion of welfare benefits would facilitate a massive spike in poverty and desperation, creating a financial crisis that would lead to an even greater cycle of demand for a fully socialized system. This desperation would then "force" the federal government to concentrate all welfare programs under one roof, nationalize and enforce a socialist ideology, and ultimately, compact an immense level of power into the hands of a select few.
Cloward and Piven claimed that this could be accomplished at a grassroots level through community activism, and, that it would facilitate a more compassionate federal authority, however, there are numerous problems with these assertions.
The Cloward-Piven Strategy has nothing to do with grassroots activism, and accomplishes nothing tangible for the downtrodden poverty class. In fact, I would dare to say that Cloward and Piven as well as most social engineers are well aware that the concept ultimately only serves to give even more dominance to the establishment and pilfer even more freedom from the masses.

Why Eat It
The smallest of our familiar grains, millet surpasses whole wheat and brown rice as a source of some B vitamins, copper, and iron. Its protein content varies greatly, depending upon the variety, but, in general, it is similar to that of wheat. Like most grains, however, millet is deficient in the amino acid lysine, so its protein availability is enhanced when it is eaten with beans or other legumes, which are rich in lysine. Millet is usually tolerated by people who are allergic to wheat.
An easily cultivated, fast-growing grain, millet was an important food in Europe in the Middle Ages, but it was supplanted by other grains, such as barley. However, it has long been a staple in North Africa, where it probably originated, and it is widely consumed in India, China, and Asia as well. In India and Ethiopia, finely ground millet is made into flatbreads called roti and injera, respectively. (Millet has no gluten, and so cannot be used for raised breads.) In the United States, millet is known principally as feed for birds and poultry. However, pearl (pearled) millet, which is the major type grown for human consumption, can be found in health-food stores and some supermarkets, always hulled and usually in whole-grain form. The tiny, pale yellow or reddish orange beads of millet can be cooked like any other grain. Occasionally, you may also see cracked millet sold as couscous (though the packaged couscous available in North America is most often made from semolina).
Simmering: Use 1 1/2 cups liquid to 1/2 cup of grain. If the grain is kept covered and undisturbed while simmering, it will be fluffy and separate, like rice. However, if it is stirred frequently and a little liquid is added from time to time, the millet will have a creamy consistency, similar to mashed potatoes. If you saute millet first, as for a rice pilaf, the cooking time will be cut in half. Cooking time: about 25 minutes.
Steaming: This method is most frequently used with cracked millet to make couscous. Soak the grain in water for about an hour, then steam it (traditionally, over a pot of simmering stew). Cooking time: 30 minutes.

Chinese Publishing Companies Actively Participated in the Belt and Road Initiative

Loud Sigh who just joined the Microsoft Certified Architect (MCA) Review Board wrote a great post on how to prepare for the review board, why you should do it and share his own experience going through the MCA certification process.
I do like how Loud points out that the certification isn't just an exam on specific data points it more about how you have handled situations that require years of experience and knowledge.
The key points to me are:
- MCA is not only about you your technical skills but also your soft skills. How you handle situations, can you negotiate, do you demonstrate leadership, etc.
- You have to go through your experience by demonstrating evidence and then talk walk through the architecture trade-offs
- The board doesn't expect you to know everything but would like to understand if you know how to find the answer, if you can delegate or mitigate a concern.
It's worth a read if you are not familiar with the MCA process. Who knows, you may even want to take it after reading it.

Riding with the Patriot Guard these past four years has given me some wonderful moments of participation in things I would otherwise know nothing about. A recent run to escort a piece of the World Trade Center to its final resting place in a memorial in Greenville, Pennsylvania was one of those times.
The Sons of the American Legion, Squadron 184 out of East Greenville began a lengthy process to procure a piece of the World Trade Center to be placed in a memorial they had built. Hangar 17, located at JFK airport in New York, is the resting place for everything salvaged from the September 11 attacks. From crushed police cars to letterheads, to steel beams, everything is kept, catalogued and, in some cases, cleaned and restored in this hangar. Requests for memorabilia come from all over the country, and the process to obtain something, anything, is not that easy.
Once the request was considered, representatives from the American Legion squadron were invited to Hangar 17 to take a tour and be given their item. In this case, it was an iron beam, about 14 feet long weighing 6300 pounds. The release of the beam had to be approved by a US District Court judge. They also went into agreement with the Port Authority that their squadron would adhere to stated motives and release the Port Authority from any liability or costs. Hangar 17 will never be open to the public; only those who have been awarded a section or memento from the World Trace Center are invited in. A total of 1100 pieces of memorial steel are to be released, worldwide. All donated pieces are still considered evidence, and part of the agreement with the Port Authority is that no item will be used for personal reasons, including profit.
The plan was that the beam would be escorted by a large motorcycle procession back to the Post where it would be committed to a beautiful memorial that is filled with appropriate symbolism. The piece will be prepared and then welded and bolted onto the existing memorial within days of its arrival with an official rededication scheduled for Veterans Day 2010.
The Sons expected a couple of hundred bikes. The final count, by the NJ State Police, was approximately 2,500. Past "Iron Runs," which they refer to as "a mass funeral procession for our fallen 9/11 victims," had been growing in recent years, but this particular run was open to the public. And the public obliged. The beam, secured on the back of a flatbed truck, waited at the final staging place, the Courtyard Marriott in Newark, New Jersey. The full run began in East Greenville, about 100 miles northwest. American Legion Riders, Blue Knights, Patriot Guard Riders and Reading Motorcycle Club were just a few of the groups participating. New Jersey State Police gave a full escort from the NJ/PA border to the Marriott and, after organizing 2,500 bikes surrounding the hotel, escorted everyone back. The ride included a stop for gas at a large roadside "truck stop"; more than half the bikes gassed up, much to the dismay of weary travelers and the delight of the truck stop owners. While some broke off the pack to head home, the majority stayed with the three-hour journey back to East Greenville, where we were greeted by townsfolk lining the streets, waving flags and cheering.
The run was led by the "Engine 911" memorial fire truck, once owned by NYFD fireman Eric Olsen, who died while executing his duties at the World Trade Center on 9/11. The truck has been lovingly restored by the volunteer fire department of Milford Township as a memorial to the firefighters who gave their lives that day.
Salutes have to go out to the New Jersey State Police, the Pennsylvania State Police and the Courtyard Marriott, who did a great job accommodating over 2500 people by opening rooms for extra facilities, allowing us all to take over their lots and driveways and keeping the beer flowing. The State Police managed to keep entrances to I-78 blocked as well as maintain speed control in addition to escorting; however, there was one report of a rider being hit into a median by a car (when will cagers pay attention?). He was taken to a local hospital.
I have seen a couple of 9/11 memorials containing remnants of the World Trace Center, but this was different. Seeing that beam, rusted and untouched by any artist's vision, bound down to a flatbed, seemed to generate more emotion than those within nice fountains or as part of sculpture. I realized people died under or near this--people who just wanted to get through their day and go home to their families.
Perhaps one of the reasons bikers are so quick to respond when called out for a good cause such as this is their unwavering understanding of what their freedoms truly cost and how fortunate they are. One rider in this particular run had a unique bike that truly brought these ideals to light. His Harley was rigged onto a cart in which he, wheelchair bound, could still ride, not as a passenger, but as a biker. He wouldn't allow his limitations to interfere with his freedom and, by riding with us that day he reminded all of us of why we answer the call.

The month of October brought more foreclosure filings across the United States, although activity levels are still down 19% from last year, RealtyTrac said Thursday.
The Irvine, Calif.-based foreclosure research firm reported 186,455 default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions. That is up 3% from September and indicates that one out of every 706 U.S. homes faced a foreclosure filing last month.
"We continued to see vastly different foreclosure trends across the country in October, depending primarily on how each state's foreclosing infrastructure was able to handle the high volume of delinquent loans during the worst of the foreclosure crisis in 2010," said Daren Blomquist, vice president of RealtyTrac.
He added, "Unfortunately the three states dealing with the biggest rebound in deferred foreclosure activity — New Jersey, New York and Connecticut — also had to deal with the devastation to homes inflicted by super storm Sandy."
Foreclosure moratoriums in areas hit by Sandy will further delay foreclosure activity in Northeast states, RealtyTrac said.
The states with the steepest foreclosure increase over last year included New Jersey, where filings rose 140%, New York (123% increase), and Connecticut (41% jump).
Still in October, foreclosure activity in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut counties impacted by the hurricane fell 8% from September, while remaining 92% above year ago levels.
