Rights as alternative game forms
The paper analyzes the problem of modeling rights using extensive game forms with perfect information. Three dimensions of rights – protocol, autonomy and power – are identified and it is shown, that under a certain condition, the effectivity function captures completely all rights relevant aspects of a game form. The condition under which this is possible is interpretable both as a particular formulation of individual liberty and as a rejection of consequentialism. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2004

The holidays are here! As we transition into the holidays, tons of events are occupying our lives! Whether it be a Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving, holiday parties, family gatherings, or anything else, cute skirts and fun dresses never go to waste!! Between the fall and winter seasons, I adore suede. Suede is such a popular, cute, and warm trend that I love embracing this time of the year. This skirt in particular is great too because of the unique tassels on the sides, the amazing price, and the form fitting waist. With the tight waist and then flared bottom, this skirt is sure to highlight everyone's best features!
I also love these shoes for any classic look with a fun twist on the fringe! Pair these shoes with any cute, fun, and trendy or classic look for the entire season! Steve Madden shoes are some of my favorites because the price-point is beyond reasonable for the best quality! They have a mix of cute, casual, and trendy pieces for absolutely anyone!

text: G'day, folks. After working on it all week to the exclusion of all else, difficult child 3 finished his Assessment Task which involved two short writing tasks, total of about 1500 words. But it's done and in the mail. Two more Assessment Tasks to go, over the next fortnight. I'm getting more grey hairs! The incentive was the chance to have a long driving lesson on the highway tomorrow, with husband. Because if he hadn't finished the work, difficult child 3 was going to have to stay home tomorrow and keep working. It's been difficult for difficult child 3 to work without me to support him. I'm not allowed to help, but if I'm home at least I could have kept his nose to the grindstone. But this week I've had tests, doctor appointments etc on top of my daily radiation treatment. But it's done. A relief. Failure to complete these tasks can lead to failure for the year in that subject. So another hurdle overcome. Tomorrow I'll have the males out of the place while I can either stay home and rest, or go to my writers meeting. If I go to the meeting I'll have to leave early, husband & I are going to a dinner tomorrow night for his train club. So I may choose to stay home and have a quiet day. husband had his second rabies shot today. He seems to be weathering them fairly well so far. A few aches & pains, plus his thumb still throbs, I believe, where they injected 5 ml of rabies immunoglobulin into it. He told the local doctor (who did today's injection) about the wildlife rescue lady being so tactless and indiscreet and worrying mother in law - the doctor fully agreed. She knows mother in law and knows exactly why we shielded her from this sort of information until we need to give her the full story. Enjoy your Friday, everyone. Marg

text: In an effort to bring a renewed sense of wonder and realism to the book of the Bible we call the Psalms, singer/songwriter Shane Heilman teamed up with a host of other musicians to work on a multiple-album project called The Psalms Project. The first edition is called Volume One: Psalms 1-10. Each track is numbered along with its respective Psalm, with a summary of the Psalm's message in parentheses to serve as its song title. Lyrically, the songs are not the Psalms word-for-word (or if they are, it's not clear which Bible translation is used), but rather, a reimagining of the words into Heilman's own lyrics without losing the Scriptural meanings and intentions. Heilman does a good job translating the Psalms into his own lyrics, and making them a bit more modernized. The music of The Psalms Project tends to go one of two ways; it's either slower, acoustic-based balladry (such as the piano-led "Psalm 8 (In All The Earth)," which features vocals by Emily Heilman) or it's upbeat, contemporary rock music. Sometimes, like the middle of "Psalm 6 (Heal Me)," it falls right in between the two paces. Regardless of which direction the music takes, it tends to sound quite a bit like Hillsong, which will be good news for some, but bad for others. The music isn't groundbreaking or amazing, but the musicians and singers are gifted and use those gifts well. The Psalms Project is a cool idea. While not necessarily a new idea, as I've seen this in much smaller forms (such as a project that Emery's Toby Morrell once had), the idea of modernizing all 150 Psalms is quite a tall task. Though Volume 1 isn't a spectacular album, it's solid and I would be interested in seeing where The Psalms Project goes from here (specifically Psalms 117 and 119). Pick this up if you're looking for something new to worship along with.

Subscribers of the Stockbroker Special Situations Newsletter counted on the investment publication to uncover inexpensive stocks of small, overlooked companies.
What they didn`t count on was that some of the newsletter`s hot tips were paid advertisements.
Small public companies doled out thousands of dollars to the newsletter`s publisher, Robert Dresser of Glendale, Calif.
In return, Dresser recommended these companies` stocks, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged in a complaint filed in September.

IT HAS been their journey of a lifetime but two South Wales jetsetters aren't prepared to go home without a fight.
Last month Sarah Williams won a holiday to Australia on BBC's National Lottery Jet Set quiz and took best friend Sian Pope.
Since then the pair have travelled to America, Mauritius, Japan and South Africa, with Sarah beating all-comers each week on their way round the world.
The 27-year-old, an executive assistant in the National Assembly's presiding office, said: "It's been a whirlwind. I think it's purely luck that I've kept on winning."
She auditioned with publications officer Sian in December before they appeared on January 17.
As well as spanning the globe the pair they been living in the lap of luxury, staying at top class accommodation and enjoying A-list activities from jet flights to celebrity tennis lessons.
Sian, 23, said: "It's hard to single anything out, everything has been amazing."
Both have kept in touch with their loved ones and two weeks ago were connected to friends and family by a live video broadcast from Tokyo.
If they continue their winning ways on Saturday, Sarah and Sian will spend a week in Trinidad, with the next prize a trip to Los Angeles to attend the Oscars on February 29.
Sarah said: "For the first three weeks I chose film as my favourite subject so going to the Oscars would be a dream."
And with their destiny hanging on Sarah's skills the pair are taking the challenges ahead very seriously.
"The nerves do start to creep in on Saturday," admitted Sian. "I don't worry about Sarah because her general knowledge is so good but I test her with Weakest Link questions just to get in the right frame of mind."

All homes and business premises in Victoria have been revalued as at 1 January 2016.
A valuation of all Victorian properties is carried out every two years. Valuations are carried out using Valuation Best Practice Principles as set down by the State Government Valuer-General. Data on every property is recorded and used by the Rural City of Wangaratta Valuer with sales, rentals and other information to determine the valuations.
The revaluation is an assessment of all properties and their value. It will not in itself raise the total income Council receives from rates, as the charges will be re-distributed based on the changes in each property's value. As a result of the revaluation, some will pay more in rates; some will pay less, depending on the new value of their property.
The Rural City of Wangaratta rates are based on the Capital Improved Value. The Capital Improved Value is the total value of land plus all buildings and other improvements. The Site Value is the value of the land. The Net Annual Value represents the reasonable annual rental of the property.
A property tax based on valuation reflects both a measure of the benefit of services to each property and the capacity of that property to bear the burden of sharing the community costs represented by the tax.
When all properties are revalued, changes in valuation do not in themselves signify corresponding changes in the rates payable. The purpose of regular property revaluation is to maintain market relativity between properties so that rates can be equitably distributed.
The change in the valuation of an individual property from one valuation cycle to another needs to be compared with the change in the valuations of all the other properties before an indication of its effect on the rate can be ascertained.
To find the value of the property, the valuer must have a thorough knowledge of sales, rentals and statutory considerations laid down by valuation legislation.
Councils are required to be notified of sales of all properties and information on rentals and expenses is obtained from owners and tenants. A valuer has statutory powers to enter onto any property "at any reasonable time" and may request any information which will assist to make a true and correct valuation.
Sales information is collated and analysed so that levels of values for different types of properties can be established. Physical inspections are made of each property and appropriate levels of value applied.
In many cases internal property inspections may be necessary to provide sufficient information to ensure accurate valuations.
As a ratepayer, it is important for you to consider the valuation on your rate notice and assess whether it reflects its true market value. If you believe that the valuation is too low or too high, you should first speak to Council's Rates Administrator on (03) 5722 0838.
Ratepayers have the right under Section 16 of the Valuation of Land Act 1960 to object to the valuation applied to their property on one or more of the following grounds:
An objection to a valuation does not negate the requirement of a ratepayer to pay rates that have been levied, by the due date.
Please contact Council's Finance Unit (Rates Section)Â on (03)Â 5722 0838 to obtain a copy of the prescribed objection form.
Lodging an Objection:
Dealing with the Objection:
1. Within 4 months after receiving the objection notice, the valuer has the option to:
 (a) Agree that an adjustment to the valuation is justified and provide a notice recommending an appropriate adjustment to the objector, the Council and the Valuer-General Victoria; or
 (b) Disagree with the objection, whereby no adjustment to the valuation is justified and the valuer provides a written notice of disallowance to the objector.
2. Following option (a) (the valuation is adjusted) the Valuer-General Victoria has 2 months after receiving this notice of recommendation to either agree or disagree with the adjustment to the valuation as recommended by the valuer.
3. If the Valuer-General agrees that the adjustment is justified, a confirmation notice is sent to all parties involved (all parties include the Council, objector, valuer and the State Revenue Office).
4. If the Valuer-General Victoria disagrees with the adjustment made, a notice of disallowance is sent to all parties.
5. Following option (b) (where the valuer rejects the objection and no adjustment to the valuation is justified), the objector and the Council are notified directly. No action from the Valuer-General Victoria is required.
6. Where the objector is dissatisfied with the outcome of (a) or (b), refer to the Valuation Appeals Process.
The process for appeal is available where the objector is dissatisfied with the determination provided by the Council valuer or the Valuer-General or:
If the objector would like to appeal in accordance with Section 22 Valuation of Land Act 1960, then the objector may apply to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal for review of the decision. In accordance with Section 23 Valuation of Land Act 1960, the President of VCAT may initiate, or based on the application of a party, an appeal to the Supreme Court if the matter raises questions of unusual difficulty or of general importance.
For further information, to obtain a copy of the prescribed objection form and/or before lodging a valuation objection please contact Council's Finance Unit (Rates Section) on (03) 5722 0838.
Supplementary valuations are made during the rating year when there is a significant change to the valuation. The most common causes for supplementary valuations are construction of a new dwelling or building, subdivision of a property or consolidation of properties. As a result of the supplementary valuation a rate notice will be issued to reflect any change in the rates.
Please discuss all valuation concerns with Council's Finance Unit (Rates Section)Â on (03)Â 5722 0838.

The consultation process for an overarching framework is being done in two phases this time, in order to be more comprehensive, but will also likely require greater focus and attention from the supporters of net neutrality.
New Delhi: The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's (TRAI) final attempt at shaping the contours of net neutrality – a principle that has seen civil society advocates and multinational technology corporations at opposite ends over the last year – will likely kick-off with a two-step consultation process today or tomorrow.
TRAI Chairman R.S. Sharma's goal is to potentially construct an overarching framework on net neutrality and then hand those recommendations over to the Department of Telecommunications, which will take a call on how best to translate TRAI's inputs into official policy.
This time around however, unlike the issue of differential pricing of data, the regulatory process will consist of two different components: a 'pre-consultation' process that will first decide the issues that make up net neutrality and then a proper consultation process that will address those issues and the questions that are posed.
"We are issuing a pre-consultation paper tomorrow [Thursday] or day after [Friday]. The way I look at it is that in a month's time we will be done with the pre-consultation process. Thereafter we will formulate the final consultation paper," Sharma told The Wire in an interview.
This two-step process of consultation, according to multiple people with direct knowledge of the matter, is advantageous for a number of reasons. Firstly, it gives TRAI a bit of breathing room in being able to comprehensively frame the issues for the final consultation paper instead of tackling it through multiple papers and over the course of six-to-eight months. For example, the regulatory process on differential pricing of data is still essentially ongoing, with TRAI issuing another consultation paper last week on whether 'free data' or non-discriminatory zero-rating models of Internet access should be allowed.
Secondly, unlike the 'differential pricing of data' aspect of net neutrality – where TRAI was able to step in and issue regulation – the final call on other issues of net neutrality that are likely to be on the table this time, including throttling and fast-lanes, will not be taken by the telecom regulator but will be decided by the Department of Telecommunications and the government.
"[I] don't want to define net neutrality, but broadly there are five issues. The networks must not treat traffic in a different manner, all traffic for a network is equal. It should receive equal treatment. So what we have done thus far in the discriminatory pricing regulation, we have tackled the issue of net neutrality from a tariff perspective. The two other issues which remain…one is throttling and the other is fast lane. These two issues will be included in this [consultation process], besides any other issues which might have bearing on this subject," said Sharma.
The incoming consultation process, however well-intentioned, will still almost certainly split the attention and focus of net neutrality supporters who have to attend to both the yet-to-be-released pre-consultation paper and last week's consultation paper on free data.
"It is difficult to devote a lot of attention and participate consistently in each and every consultation even though we want to. I understand that TRAI has to be thorough, but with each consultation process it naturally ends up becoming a little less democratic each time as not everybody has the resources of say a Facebook to lobby and present their point of view," said the CEO of one of India's leading start-up companies that came out in support of net neutrality last December.
Not a U-turn
Last week's paper on the nuances of zero-rating, in particular, has been seen by a section of net neutrality supporters as a disappointing U-turn or doubling back on the part of TRAI.
Sharma, however, vehemently disagrees. He believes that with the controversy surrounding Facebook's Free Basics and Airtel Zero late last year, the question of coming up with non-TSP or gatekeeper-centric models of free Internet access last year was largely ignored and made "insignificant".
"No in fact, this is completely wrong to say that this issue has been addressed. This question [different zero-rating models] was asked [last time]… this question became insignificant in the last consultation on differential pricing," he said.
One of the examples Sharma gives is that of an e-governance website that is looking to promote itself. "The second question of the differential pricing paper last December was can we have a mechanism of free Internet or subsidised Internet… irrespective of the pipe in which they come. For e-governance websites, can we have some architecture that provides free data to them without depending on which TSP they visit the website through."
Nevertheless, Sharma doesn't buy into the idea that zero-rating will solve India's Internet access issues. While price of Internet access is certainly a factor, he believes that infrastructure is far more critical. However, that doesn't keep TRAI from impartially evaluating whether free or subsidised data would be useful.
During discussions the office of TRAI had with Facebook last December, during the Free Basics controversy, Sharma passed on this exact argument. "I told them we are not against free or subsidised data. What we are against is this architecture… where you decide consumer choices, which is not consistent with the broad principles of net neutrality."

Ross Taylor burst onto the scene with a flamboyant unbeaten 128 in the 2006/7 One Day series with Sri Lanka. He had made his debut against the West Indies, scoring 15 but his century in just his third outing marked him down as one to follow in the future for New Zealand.
He made his Test debut on New Zealand's 2007/8 tour of South Africa, but failed to make any score higher than 17, but given a superb first class record for Central Districts and his apparently seamless step up from domestic to international cricket ensured that he was given a long run in the side, and he responded by hitting two centuries against England in 2008, including a superb unbeaten 154 at Old Trafford.
He has now played in more than 250 times for his country, helping them to the semi-finals of the 2007 and 2011 World Cups and also had a spell as captain, although he has subsequently relinquished that role.
Without the burden of captaincy, and part of a strong New Zealand side, Taylor has flourished again, making history by becoming the fifth man to score centuries in consecutive ODIs in August 2014, joining de Kock on an illustrious list.
He then helped New Zealand reach the final of the World Cup, with a half-century against Bangladesh his best performance.


text: It's MARCH 18th..........at 11:01pm it's 70 degrees outside. I'm sweating, kid you not. It has been in the mid to upper 70's for about a week. It's supposed to be near 80 degrees all week. Now, honestly I'm not complaining. I'm loving having my windows open and basking in the fresh air, especially at this point in the year. And I'm thrilled that my gas bill will be even lower than it has already been all winter, which is pretty darn low. But c'mon. This is WEIRD. Oh, the occasional day or two maybe three, sure. But not two solid weeks of near 80 degrees in march! Not to mention the lovely storms it's bringing along with it. They're stronger and more severe than usual. First the odd warmish winter........now weather that makes you think summer not spring and certainly NOT march. Allergies are insane. Bugs are over abundant. Fleas are already an issue. (not surprising given the mild winter) I'm contemplating pulling out my warm weather clothing because it's just too hot to wear my winter clothes. Going to dig out the fans tomorrow because there is no way we'll tolerate 80 degrees without them. Poor dogs haven't even had a chance to shed and they're burning up. I am honestly enjoying it. But we don't usually see this until May, except like I said an occasional day here and there. It's letting me get a bunch of the yard work done early......and I'll be able to start tackling the family room this week. But is it just me or is it giving anyone else an uneasy feeling? I dunno if I expect winter to give us one huge smack in the face just as we think this is gonna last or what.

A CHEADLE Heath family has blasted council bosses after being forced to live with the stench of open sewage flowing under their floor boards for three weeks.
The Duffield family first reported the revolting smell to council officials on May 24 after lifting the floorboards in their kitchen to discover the horror underneath.
Mum Mandy said: "My mum has been living with us recently and she has chronic arthritis so has to use a commode - first I thought the smell was that."
"But it kept getting worse and worse and it was at its strongest in the kitchen. Eventually we lifted the floorboards and saw the stagnant water and open sewage. We contacted the council as soon as we could."
A plumber was dispatched to the family's Walnut Tree Road home on June 4 by Stockport Council, but told the stench-sickened family it would be a least five working days before the problem could be fixed. However, the deadline for the disgusting sewage to be cleared up and the leak mended came and went, and Mandy once again rang environmental health.
Mandy claims she was told the council had changed contractors and she would have to wait a further two weeks for the problem to be fixed.
She said: "I'm married with two children and my 73-year-old mother is living here too. The smell is making us all feel unbearably ill. I think we've been treated disgustingly by the council. This is in my kitchen, under my cupboards. I can't cook anything in there because I can't stand the smell and I'm sure it isn't safe. My husband is ill and I care for him along with my son, Robert, who has behavioural difficulties, as well as my mum."
"People can't stand to come round because the smell is so bad. It's so bad it's made some visitors physically sick."
"I think it's terrible the council have left this open sewage in my house for so long without doing a thing about it."
Council bosses have now cleared up the mess. A spokesman said: "The council arranged for a private contractor to identify and rectify the problem as soon as an initial inspection had been carried out."
"The contractor came to the house on Friday, June 4, and as of Monday, has pumped out the effluent and is working to ensure the situation does not arise again."

The admitted mastermind of a foiled suicide attack on the New York City subways says he and two other men discussed high-profile targets while at an al-Qaida training compound in Pakistan.
Najibullah Zazi (nah-jee-BOO'-lah ZAH'-zee) testified for a second day Wednesday at the Brooklyn trial of Adis Medunjanin (ah-DEES' med-DOON'-yah-neen).
Zazi said the 2008 discussion centered on targets that would damage the U.S. economy.
He said they included the New York Stock Exchange, Times Square and an unspecified Walmart.
Zazi said they eyed the subway because "it's the heart of everything in New York City."
Zazi and another man pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against Medunjanin in a bid for leniency.
Medunjanin's lawyer insists his client is not a terrorist.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
The full beard he wore at the time of his arrest well over two years ago was gone, replaced by closely cropped hair both on his face and head.
In an impassive monotone, Najibullah Zazi took the witness stand in federal court in Brooklyn on Tuesday to begin recounting his role in what U.S. authorities have called one of the most ominous terror threats since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks: a foiled al-Qaida plot to spread death and destruction in the New York City subways with suicide bombers.
The seeds for the scheme were planted about five years ago with a discussion in the parking lot of a Queens mosque, where Zazi, Adis Medunjanin and Zarein Ahmedzay worshipped together, Zazi said in his debut as a government witness at Medunjanin's trial.
The men made an oath to leave the United States for good and "fight alongside the Taliban," Zazi testified. He said they were inflamed by recordings of U.S.-born extremist Anwar al-Awlaki and other radical clerics.
Medunjanin believed, "Muslims should fight Americans - that it is their duty," said Zazi, an Afghan who spent his childhood in Pakistan before moving to New York City with his family in 1999.
He added that he was motivated in part by a belief that the culprit behind the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks was "America itself."
Zazi, 26, also testified that during a subsequent 2008 trip to Pakistan, the three Americans met a top al-Qaida operative they knew only as Hamad. Authorities say Hamad was Adnan Shukrijumah, a Saudi still listed on an FBI website as a fugitive who plotted attacks for al-Qaida worldwide.
Hamad told the three former high school classmates they were best suited for an operation on U.S. soil - an idea Zazi said they initially resisted.
"We thought it was a joke," he said, testifying at the trial of Medunjanin.
Medunjanin, 27, a Bosnian-born Muslim and naturalized U.S. citizen, has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, providing material support to a terrorist organization and other charges. He has denied he was ever part of an al-Qaida operation.
Authorities have portrayed Zazi as a homegrown terrorist who orchestrated the 2009 scheme to strap on suicide bomb vests and detonate them inside Manhattan subways. Both he and Ahmedzay pleaded guilty in 2010 and were jailed without bail after agreeing to become government witnesses in a bid for leniency.
On Monday, Ahmedzay testified how al-Qaida operatives recruited them in Pakistan and drove them 10 hours away to a compound protected by 20-foot mud walls. After morning prayers, English-speaking terrorists taught them how to use grenades and other weapons, and ordered them to carry out an attack in New York City before the end of George W. Bush's second term as president, he said.
He also recalled returning to New York City and using his cab to drive around the city in early 2009 and casing potential targets for a terrorist attack, including Grand Central Terminal, Times Square and the New York Stock Exchange. The conspirators also considered striking Penn Station or city movie theaters before settling on attacking the subways during Ramadan, he said.
Zazi said Tuesday the men kicked around the idea of Walmart as a possible target as well, but didn't say if they had a specific store in mind.
The testimony ended Tuesday before Zazi could describe how he relocated to the Denver area, where he used beauty supplies to try and cook up explosives in a hotel room and set out for New York around the time of the eighth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Once he suspected he was under surveillance, he aborted the mission and returned to Colorado, where he was arrested.
He was to return to the witness stand on Wednesday.
After 9/11, Shukrijumah was seen as one of al-Qaida's best chances to attack inside the U.S. or Europe, captured terrorist Abu Zubaydah told U.S. authorities. Shukrijumah studied at a community college in Florida but when the FBI showed up to arrest him as a material witness to a terrorism case in 2003, he already had left the country.
In 2004, then-Attorney General John Ashcroft called Shukrijumah a "clear and present danger" to the United States.

By Bob Santos
The Bible needs no introduction. Or does it? The best-selling book of all time has had a remarkable influence on humanity, and yet, people throughout the centuries have struggled to grasp the essence of its meaning.
The Bible, first and foremost, is a book of relationship. This ancient text–relevant to every era–provides a powerful connecting point for a dynamic relationship with the God who created us.
But there's more to the story than first meets the eye. Grasping the heart of the Bible requires a basic understanding of its origins and inspirational nature.
Through its easy-flowing style. The TouchPoint not only introduces the Christian Scriptures but also draws more seasoned believers into a deeper understanding of God and His ways.
Within the pages of this book, you will find:
- A powerful key to understanding God's mindset
- A brief overview of the Old and New Testaments
- Evidence for the Bible's credibility
- The basics of interpreting the Bible
- Words of encouragement for dark times
The Bible is the most amazing book ever penned, and if we tune our hearts to God's frequency, we can feel His eternal love seeping through every page.
"The Bible is a treasure chest full of invaluable truths." The TouchPoint will bring you to a deeper place of understanding just how true that statement is. Bob's academic research and Spirit-led inspiration will convince you that the Bible truly is the greatest of all books!
-Dale Adams, Lead Pastor, Lifespring Christian Church, Greensburg, PA
Not just another book about The Book, but a theologically sound, insightful explanation of how a person can discover the real meaning of life. Bob Santos makes it perfectly clear that the Word of God is living, active, a seed, a lamp, flawless, right and true. Not only will it never pass away, but it must be the primary "TouchPoint" of a life connected with God.
-Chris Ball, President, Elim Fellowship Lima, NY
Ultimately, God's Word came to us so that we might know God HImself, and few books illustrate this profound truth so well as the The TouchPoint. With candid brilliance and subtle eloquence, Bob Santos proclaims the beauty, authenticity, and relevance of the Christian Bible. I can't imagine anyone who will not benefit from reading this book, and will heartily recommend it to all of my students, colleagues, friends, and family.
-John Caton, Apologetics Director, Youth With A Mission, Boston, MA
Available in paperback from our online store!
The eBook version is available through these online retailers:

Actor Jimmy O. Yang of HBO's "Silicon Valley" knows what it's like to be different.
Born in Hong Kong to Shanghainese parents, Yang's family came to America when he was in eighth grade. That experience of crossing international borders helped him relate to Dun "Danny" Meng, the carjacking victim he plays in "Patriots Day." Meng was working at Cambridge startup and was held at gunpoint by Boston Marathon bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. He successfully got away and helped authorities locate the suspects.
"We're both Chinese immigrants," Yang said, who speaks perfect English along with Cantonese, Mandarin and Shanghainese. "I came when 13. Danny came when he was 20. He had been in the country a few months when he got carjacked."
Yang spent time with Meng to capture his Sichuan accent, with Meng pleased with his portrayal.
"I've seen the movie, it's pretty real and close to what I experienced," Meng said.
As the movie was filmed in New England, Yang got to enter Meng's world, eating together at Gourmet Dumpling House and Yume Wo Katare. Meng is a developer for food delivery app RushRunner.
"It was my first time in Boston and I didn't know anyone, so Danny was my ambassador," Yang said. "It was so important to shoot in Boston. We got to see how strong people are in Boston."
Until Yang was cast in "Patriots Day," he was unaware of Meng's role in apprehending the bombers.
"God knows what would happen if I got carjacked and someone pointed a gun at me; I would cry," Yang said. "But he fought the whole time. He used his intelligence to buy him extra time to survive. It speaks to his intelligence and bravery."
Meng was trapped with the Tsarnaev brothers in his black Mercedes Benz SUV for 90 minutes, until he escaped at a Cambridge gas station while Dzhokhar paid for gas and Tamerlan fiddled with the navigation. During the drive, Meng spoke about his outsider status in America, while praying to live.
"Each answer could have been life or death. It was like a chess match," Yang said. "It was not just his legs running, his mind was running."
Yang was impressed with Meng's humility and quick thinking.
"He was a real everyday person, doing what he did," Yang said. "It's up to the audience to discover he's a hero."
"Patriots Day" opens nationwide today.

Donin Durshire, head of Auror Applications, ruffled his beard in an exhausted fashion as he set down yet another application. Really, it was becoming quite tiresome - He Who Must Not Be Named is gone, and suddenly people get delusions of grandeur.
"I was a star member of Dumbledore's Army at Hogwarts - trained by Harry Potter himself!"
"As you can see, my N.E.W.T. grades are quite good, I simply never got around to applying..."
"I took my O.W.L.'s - I simply had a lot going on before my N.E.W.T.'s"
"I have a perfectly good reason for dropping of the face of the planet for twenty years - I was number two on You-Know-Who's most wanted list, after the Boy Who Lived of course..."
"My whole life I've wanted to be an Auror - now that He's gone, I finally have that chance..."
It was sickening really. People wanted to save the world. Wanted to catch the bad guys. Wanted to be heroes... after the real bad guys were caught of course. Who would want to be an Auror under the reign of Lord Voldemort?
Durshire was rejecting another application as his assistant Colin walked in holding another stack of papers.
"Four more sir." Colin said, handing the applications to Durnshire, who skipped the introduction and went directly to the qualifications.
"Fairly well on the O.W.L.'s... nothing extraordinary... good gracious, he dropped out of Hogwarts before his seventh year?" he demanded. Colin shifted uncomfortably, glancing back towards the door.
"He claims there was too much going on in his life, sir."
"I'll bet. Practical experience?" he tutted, starring at Colin. "Let me guess, he was in Dumbledore's Army?"
"Yes sir, I believe so."
"Preposterous!" Durshire exploded. "How dare he apply here? Harry Potter couldn't get in with these records!" He threw the pile of papers at his secretary, who looked uncomfortable.
"Um... sir?" he questioned timidly, glancing at the door.
"What?" Durshire snapped, opening a case file.
"Would you like to know his name?"
Durshire rolled his eyes. "What does that have to do with anything? Just get him out of here, and into the muggle world where he belongs!" Colin nodded, and turned to leave.
Something tugged at Durshire and he looked up shrewdly. "Out of curiosity, why do you ask?"
Colin shrugged. "It's just that... it's Harry Potter sir." he stated, glancing at the door again.
Durshire grabbed his chest. "The Boy Who Lived? Is applying? Here!" It couldn't be... no one had seen or heard from Harry Potter and his closest friends in twenty years...
"Yes sir, he's right outside. Shall I give him the rejection?" He smiled softly.
"No, no! Are you daft? Tell him we accept without question!" Hish smiled, and left the room, leaving Durshire in a state of shock. "Harry Potter..."
In the waiting room, a redhead woman sat, bouncing a child on her knee. "Really, Harry, there's no need to be worried. They can't possibly turn you away."
Harry grinned, and kissed his wife. "I know. It's just so good to be back!" He clapped Ron on the shoulder. "All our dreams coming true, you know?" Ron grinned at him.
Just then Colin returned to the waiting room. "Potter, party of four?" He called, walking in their direction. Ginny stood up next to her husband, shifting her niece onto her hip. "I'm glad to anounce that you've been accepted."
Ron whooped, grabbing Hermione who sputtered. "They accepted us in a group? That's not regulation!"
"No ma'am." Colin grinned,"but in light of the situation, I think it's only fair. After all," he said, gesturing to Harry, "he is the Boy Who Lived."
Author's Note: I was trying to clean up my hardrive and found this little story I'd whipped up a few months ago - I'd totally forgotten about it. Just a bit of humor!
Now that I'm ungrounded, hopefully I'll be posting regularly again. I've got a Hawksong and a Sailor Moon done right now, I think I'll do an Inuyasha, then another Star Wars after that. Ah, well, please review!

When you practice hot yoga, you start to feel better right away. But where is the science to back up all these good feelings?
A new study by the University of Texas Austin, studied the effects of Bikram Yoga on circulation, heart health and weight loss. The 80 study participants (ages 40-60) practiced the 90 minute Hatha Yoga series three times a week for twelve weeks. The study broke the group into two, having half of them practice in the 105 degree heated room and the other half practicing the same 26 postures in a normal temperature room.
The study found that all participants, regardless of whether they practiced in a heated room or not, saw positive outcomes on circulation, weight loss, and "improvement in brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (an index of vascular health and heart disease risk)".
There were two measurable benefits to the group who practiced in a heated room: they saw increased weight loss and a significant drop in their bad cholesterol levels (LDL). Another benefit of practicing in a hot room that wasn't covered in the study, is the impact sweating has on your body's ability to detox some toxic chemicals from processed food, personal care products, or household cleaners.
The summary of the test shows that any time you practice Bikram yoga, you're doing yourself a favor. And when you can practice in a hot room, you reap even more benefits! A common saying in this style of yoga is that "it's never too late" to start your yoga practice. I love that the participants were ages 40-60, showing the dramatic positive impacts this discipline can have on us as we age.

The London project is a pilot project funded by Trust for London, which seeks to create opportunities for vulnerable or disadvantaged EU migrants across various communities living in London, and to empower them to become active citizens.
We want to:
- To reach out to people from other parts of Europe living in London
- To increase understanding of civil society amongst these groups
- To help develop community led activities
- To broadcast the voice of European migrants to a wider audience
The project works with EU nationality groups to develop their knowledge of community structures, confidence, skills and capacity to speak out, and campaign for change in their local community. In short, we want to help community voices be heard!
Nearly 800,000 EU nationals live in Inner London, many are students but most are working here. The largest groups are Polish people, followed by German, Italian and Portuguese. A quarter of these migrants arrived in the last five years. Many of them are not engaged with their local communities and not well informed about civic structures or their rights in terms of voting. Nor to they know where to go for support and advice.
Many European migrants naturally do not have any knowledge of English civic structure or civil society organisations or routes for influencing local decision makers and promoting health communities. We want to create an inclusive group of EU migrants, active in their local communities and pan-London. The work is needed to give voice to EU migrants living in London, many of them working in the service industries, in an increasingly hostile environment where talk of migration has become increasingly negative.
How do we want to achieve this?
The London project will help to build capacity among EU migrant groups so that they can develop community led activities that will improve their quality of life. This will include providing ongoing help, training and coaching to individuals to become volunteers, trustees, paid staff for VCSE (voluntary, community & social enterprise) sector organisations that are currently absent from the migrant landscape.
We are creating and will be disseminating the EU Citizens' Guide to Survival in Britain which will offer a valuable and practical introduction to life in the UK from the perspective of the EU citizen, and provide signposts as to where you can find more help. If you want to help us get this survival guide out to your community, do get in touch
We are putting on a series of free workshops together with the East European Advice Centre. They will cover
- Basic Employment advice in three target languages; Polish, Romanian and Lithuanian
- Career progression
- How to get involved politically and in the community
These workshops will launch in the new year (2016).
If you have more great ideas of how to reach out and empower EU migrants living in London, get in touch!

ATLANTA -- Unlike wine, this champion drink won't have a taste or smell and it will likely be gulped, not sipped.
Not even the flavor, mouth feel or aftertaste will matter when five Georgia municipalities compete next week for bragging rights over the tastiest tap water in the state.
''This is not rocket science. This is for braggin' rights,'' Jack Dozier, executive director of the Georgia Water and Pollution Control Association, said Wednesday. The group is sponsoring the May 6 drinking-water taste test. ''The taste test is largely subjective. A lot of preferences for tastes of water are, frankly, what you're used to.''
The first annual statewide event is part of National Drinking Water Week, which begins May 2. The regional winners -- Barnesville, Cartersville, Douglasville-Douglas County, Macon and Savannah -- will send gallon jug samples to Atlanta to vie for the state's best.
''We think it's a pretty good-tasting product,'' Macon Water Authority executive director Gene Holcomb said of the city's Ocmulgee River-drawn water. ''I'm drinking some right now. It's the only way I can contain my weight.''
It may not be wine country, but grandstanding is expected as the panel of judges -- environmentalist and celebrity types -- sniff and taste samples of the not-so-bubbly but very vintage drink.
Ask Jim Stafford and he'll swear that no other water in the state can compete with the crystal clear H2O that flows from Lake Allatoona in northwest Georgia into the homes of Cartersville residents.
''It doesn't have any bad aftertastes. It's very soft and does a good job blending with other things like washing clothes and all that,'' quipped Stafford, director of the city's water and sewer department. ''Anheuser-Busch moved their brewery here after testing the water for two years. If anybody knows water I should guess they would.''
In the past, public water systems have done all they could to sway judges' opinions. Many municipalities would pack their water in ice-filled coolers.
''The judges always chose the coldest water,'' Dozier said. ''Now we have them send it up to us the day before in like containers. We refrigerate them all for the same amount of time.''
Most water north of Georgia's Fall Line comes from underground systems, while surface water supplies the south. Groundwater goes through a natural purification process, is chlorinated and then piped out, Dozier said. Surface water is treated and filtered before it reaches a customer's tap.
For the most part, differences will be subtle.
''If we win, I'm going to tell you it's because we're the best. If we don't, I'm going to tell you it was all subjective,'' said Peter Frost, executive director of the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority.
On the serious side, Dozier said, the goal of the contest is to raise awareness of the quality and importance of safe drinking water. One of the requirements for the water utilities was that they were in full compliance with the federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
''We view this as a real opportunity to communicate with the community on the quality of water that's being provided,'' he said.

Staycation at Omni Interlocken, Broomfield, Colorado
Want to get away, but don't have a lot of extra money or extra time? There are a few hotels located on Colorado's Front Range that will give you a resort experience close to home.
Whether you plan to take the kids along, want a romantic weekend with your sweetheart or are looking for a place to party with the girlfriends, these hotels have got your covered.
Over the next month or so, I'm going to share with you some of the Front Range's best staycation hotels starting with the Omni Interlocken in Broomfield, Colorado.
The Omni is an expansive resort property that features a spa, multiple swimming pools, kids club and semi-private champion 27-hole golf course that can't be topped when it comes to views. In fact, the course offers up such spectacular scenes of the Flatirons and the Rocky Mountains that couples occasionally book a wedding on the course. Continue reading
An oasis in Southern Colorado: Discovering hidden travel gems
I know Colorado really, really well, but occasionally, I learn about a new destination, and when I do, I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl.
While visiting the Southern Colorado town of Alamosa for the Rio Frio Ice Fest, Ryan and I were browsing downtown shops when the gal working at Firedworks Gallery, an amazing store, asked if we were going to visit Hooper while we were in town.
"What's Hooper?" I asked.
"It's a town nearby with a hot springs pool that has an adult area where you can soak and have a drink," she said. "It's really great. The locals love it."
"Sold," I said.
She was referring to Sand Dunes Swimming Pool & Hot Springs, a destination that now rates as one of my favorite random HeidiTown discoveries.
After running the Rio Frio 5K, we had lunch and then headed to Hooper. Thankfully, we've gotten savvy over the years and always pack our swimsuits because in Colorado you just never know when you'll run across a hot spring.
It only took about 25 minutes of driving to get to the Sand Dunes Swimming Pool & Hot Springs. A nondescript sign with a wave painted on it is the only indication of where to turn. Continue reading
Skiing, pizza, dog sledding & more in Winter Park, Colorado
Each Colorado ski town has its own unique feel, and Winter Park feels comfortable. For many Coloradans, it's comfy because they've been skiing there since childhood, but even for the Winter Park newbie, the town has a relaxed vibe. Maybe it's a Grand County thing. Winter Park, Granby and Grand Lake are towns that make visitors feel welcome. No need for fancy clothes, the most recent ski gear or a brand new car, just come as you are and have fun.
We recently spent a weekend in Winter Park. I was covering Grand Park Dog Days of winter, a sanctioned sled dog race, and you can see all the photos here.
Pizza, pizza, extraordinary pie
Winter Park is a ski town, no doubt. It's been a tourist destination since the 1930s when it was called Hideaway Park. In 1978, when the Winter Park Ski Area was being developed by the City of Denver, the town was renamed Winter Park.
Many Coloradans grew up skiing Winter Park, in fact, many of my husband's earliest ski memories took place there. Folks are nostalgic about places like Hernando's Pizza Pub, a joint that's been serving up popular pies since the sixties.
We stopped in at Hernando's on Friday night and the wait was 70 minutes – this place is busy year round, but the pizza is worth the wait. Pizza places are dime a dozen in ski towns, and Winter Park is no exception, but the pizza at Hernando's is exceptional, plus, the 20,000+ dollar bills plastering the walls give it an ambiance all its own.
Earlier in the day I had fulfilled a childhood dream of dog sledding at Dog Sled Rides of Winter Park. This amazing experience merited a full blog post of its own, and you can read it here.
The school bus shuffle
The free bus system in Winter Park is a great option, but navigating it can be a bit of a challenge. We stayed at Iron Horse Resort, a sweet ski-in ski-out property at Winter Park Resort. Unfortunately, in an attempt to go downtown, we got on the wrong school bus and proceeded to take a tour of the resort, eventually ending up back at Iron Horse.
After a quick discussion with the front desk, we discovered that during the day, you must take the bus to the ski village and then transfer to a bus that goes downtown. Starting at 5:30 p.m. there are buses that run from Iron Horse Resort to town every half hour or so.
We eventually made it downtown and enjoyed our pizza and our awesome waitress, Jill at Hernando's. We managed to catch a bus back to Iron Horse, but got a quite a tour of Winter Park before getting back to our condo.
My tip for riding the Winter Park bus system is to always tell your driver your final destination, and don't be in a big hurry to get there. Remember, it's free, and if you are planning on having a drink or three with your pizza, it's far better to ride the bus than to drive drunk.
The Iron Horse rocks & so does Ski Depot
We had a studio apartment at the Iron Horse, complete with bathroom, full kitchen and the most comfortable Murphy bed I've ever slept in. Our room was light, bright and comfortable. The property also has pool/hot tub facilities. What sells most people on Iron Horse is that it is a ski-out, ski-out property. You literally walk out, put your skis on and ski down the hill to the resort.
Most conveniently, Breeze at Ski Depot has a store downstairs at the Iron Horse Resort. This is where we got our ski rentals and the staff couldn't be nicer – even on a crazy, busy Presidents Day weekend, they were friendly and fun. I even got advice on how to get off a ski lift without falling on my face.
My husband skied two days, ripping it up on Mary Jane and having a hell of a good time doing it. The resort was busy and there were some lines on day two, when the top of the mountain closed due to high winds, but it was a beautiful ski weekend. As a below average skier, I didn't spend long on the mountain, but had a great time watching GoPro Racing from the deck of the Derailer Bar, and drinking a bloody Mary complete with bacon garnish. Yes, bacon.
Grand County, where adventure awaits
So why Winter Park? With everything the town and resort has to offer, plus outstanding opportunities for more winter adventures within easy driving distance, such as snowmobiling in Grand Lake, cross-country skiing at Devil's Thumb Ranch or tubing at CO Adventure Park in Fraser, Winter Park makes an ideal location for a winter getaway.

2 weeks ago, I had the amazing opportunity to attend Old Navy's Spring Dress Launch Event. I spent the entire day in New York City, discovering the new collection and spending the rest of my free time in Soho. Old Navy came out with a great selection of gorgeous dresses and jumpsuits for the new season. They have over 250 gorgeous pieces that I highly encourage you to discover as I know you will find your next favourite dress!
For the event, Old Navy generously sent me a head to toe outfit from the collection. I received the Linen-Blend Cutwork-Embellished Shift Dress, the Triple-Strap Block Hell Sandals and the Faux Leather Bucket Bag. It is such a perfect outfit for Spring! The dress has a rounded split neckline that ties up in the front. I absolutely love the cutwork details on the sleeve and at the hem, it adds a touch of elegance and femininity. The sandals are very simple and versatile. I have been loving block heels lately as they give more balance and comfort. As for the bag, the tassel details and its bucket shape are so adorable!

The venue was beautiful. It took place at West Edge, in the Meatpacking district. I was very impressed with the event, it screamed Spring Wonderland. The new dresses were beautifully presented in a floral setting. There were little workshops to make flower crowns, floral skateboards and even a section to skateboard. They also had the cutest little tea setup where they served delicious iced teas, pastries, breakfast bites and more!
Here are some pictures of the event – courtesy of Old Navy. How cute was this setting! I personally want to thank Old Navy for the amazing opportunity and their generosity.

CHESTER-le-Street are still licking their wounds after relinquishing their North East Premier League championship title on the final day.
But they have a tremendous chance to banish those memories and end their season on a massive high when they compete in the Barbados Cockspur Club T20 finals at the County Ground, Chelmsford on Monday.
Chester's cricket director, Keith Robson, is excited by the prospect of being crowned national short format champions under the floodlights at Essex's ground.
He said: "After losing the NEPL title to South North, we are determined to do well in this competition and can't wait for Monday.
"The possibility of winning another national trophy is a massive incentive and we will do our best to win this T20 competition.
"The team is well prepared and confident but will not underestimate the opposition. All the teams that have reached this stage will be hard to beat, so it would be a great achievement for the club, the NEPL and the North East to bring the cup back.
"We are preparing for the finals day during this week, and then the team will travel by coach to Chelmsford on Sunday to arrive at the hotel before attending a buffet reception at the ground in the evening with the other three finalists."
An action-packed Monday is in prospect, with the event televised live by Sky and the final played under floodlights. The Cestrians will get the chance to check out the conditions as their semi-final is second on the agenda, and scheduled to start at 3.25pm.
The first semi, at 12.30pm, is between St Just, from Cornwall, and the powerful Ealing outfit from Middlesex.
Chester's opponents are Hyde, from the Cheshire County League, with the two successful teams meeting in the final at 7.10pm.
And not only does the successful team get nationwide coverage on TV, but they also win an all expenses paid 2012 pre-season tour to Barbados and the chance to sample the sponsor's famous products in idyllic surroundings!
The Ropery Lane club will be taking a fully fit squad to Chelmsford, the only player not able to play being Andrew Tye, who is ineligible under the competition rules. It's quite a day in prospect as the Cestrians bid to emulate South North by putting a T20 national triumph alongside the 45-over national club championship on their CV.

Lord Tebbit asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Jay of Paddington: They have not. We inherited a record number of patients on National Health Service waiting lists and a rising trend in the size of the list. In our first year in office we made sure that the NHS averted a winter crisis. NHS waiting lists have increased despite delivering record amounts of hospital care in 1997-98. In March, we announced an extra £500 million to tackle waiting lists this year--which means a total of £2 billion extra for the NHS since coming into office. In the coming year we will use these extra resources to reverse the upward trend in waiting lists and deliver a record reduction so that by next April they are below the level we inherited. This will be the first step in delivering our pledge to bring waiting lists down by 100,000 over the life of the Parliament.
Lord Morris of Manchester asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Social Security (Baroness Hollis of Heigham): We welcome the important contribution made by the Social Security Select Committee's report to the debate about Disability Living Allowance (DLA). We will be making a full response to the report in due course and in doing so we will adhere to the usual conventions set out by the Procedure Committee. We are keen to ensure that we consult fully with organisations of and for disabled people on the kind of issues raised in this report. I will be taking this forward in the Disability Benefits Forum we are setting up. The letter from the Permanent Secretary to the chairman of the Social Security Select Committee, which is reproduced at annex 12 to their report, sets out the position on ministerial knowledge of the Benefit Integrity Project (BIP).
Earl Russell asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Hollis of Heigham: Sir Kenneth Calman, the Chief Medical Officer and chairman of the team reviewing the scientific basis of the assessment of noise
The information note attached to the letter of 12 November refers, in the fourth paragraph, to the case of Miller. This mention was erroneous; the case of Miller did not deal with the question of reliable evidence to raise a reasonable doubt. The reference should have been to the case of Edwards, which is cited again, and quoted, later in the note. A copy of the decision in Miller will, however, be included with the papers placed in the Library.
Lord Jenkins of Putney asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Minister of State, Department of Trade and Industry (Lord Clinton-Davis): The Government are opposed to the introduction of droit de suite into the United Kingdom. It would damage the international competitiveness of the London art market and lead to the displacement of sales from London to places where the right does not exist.
Studies made by my department estimate that British auctioneers and dealers could lose earnings of up to £68 million per year, involving up to 5,000 job losses, whereas at best (assuming no displacement of sales and no drop in prices) artists from across the EU could expect royalties of around £9.8 million. Of this, British artists' would probably get no more than £2 million. The majority probably would get little if anything: in France 75 per cent. of the royalties go to just five families--mainly the heirs of Picasso.
The Government cannot support a proposal where the potential costs far outweigh the potential benefits.
Lord Hughes of Woodside asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Lord Donoughue): The Government have been very concerned about the activities of certain agricultural gangmasters who exploit workers, defraud the government and undermine the businesses of those gangmasters who work fairly within the law providing an essential service to the agriculture industry and ultimately the consumer. We therefore set up an interdepartmental working party to investigate the issue. Its report has now been placed in the Library of the House.
In light of the findings and recommendations of the interdepartmental working party and discussions with the industry, we are putting in place a set of measures to tackle the abuses by a significant minority of gangmasters of workers' rights and of non-compliance and fraud against taxation, National Insurance, benefit and immigration systems.
The Government are launching "Operation Gangmaster". This cross-departmental initiative will bring together the work of up to eight different enforcement agencies. The core of this pilot operation will be joint visits concentrating initially on illegal practices in Lincolnshire and East Anglia. Such visits have already occurred this season and one is in train today. This will be supported by general co-operation between enforcement officers alerting other departments to possible illegal activities. Departments will also co-operate in in-depth investigations into illegal gangmaster activities.
In addition enforcement officers in all relevant government departments throughout the country are being briefed on the legislative framework applicable to gangmasters; this will greatly assist strong enforcement and further cement co-operation between departments.
Additional support to Operation Gangmaster will be provided through the Government's Business Anti-Fraud Hot Line. Here the drive to identify fraudulent employers will be helpful in identifying those gangmasters who knowingly employ benefit claimants. Other measures being taken by the Government, including implementing the Working Time Directive and the National Minimum Wage, will contribute to improving the position of casual workers.
Importantly, for the first time, gangmasters, farmers and workers will all be informed of their rights and obligations through leaflets which are being issued widely today. These provide a comprehensive picture of all the relevant aspects of law relevant to gangmasters and the people they employ, covering responsibilities of several different government departments. No one should be in doubt as to their rights or obligations under the law, or be able to claim ignorance of the law, if caught abusing their workers.
I am delighted also that the agricultural and horticultural industries are taking their responsibilities seriously too. The code of practice being launched by the National Farmers' Union and the Fresh Produce Consortium today is an important step. It will be of great assistance to all farmers, growers and pack house operators in understanding the relevant law and best practice to be adopted. I very much welcome that the retail sector have given their support to this code as an initial stage towards controlling gangmasters.
For the longer term, the Government are continuing to examine the scope for registration of agricultural gangmasters and ways to assist the unemployed to take up seasonal agricultural employment more easily, reducing the temptation to work while on benefit and laying individuals open to exploitation by gangmasters.
This comprehensive approach, combining the strength of the several enforcement agencies and providing full information on rights and obligations to workers and
Baroness Turner of Camden asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Donoughue: The Government have received over a thousand responses to public consultation on the Food Standards Agency White Paper, reflecting the considerable importance that the British public attaches to issues of food safety and standards. The responses show widespread support for the general thrust of our proposals.
The many useful comments we have received will inform the preparation of draft legislation, which will be published later in the summer for a final round of public consultation. We will also issue a detailed paper for separate consultation on the proposal to charge the food industry for a greater proportion of food safety costs. The Government are considering, alongside the White Paper responses, the comments made by the Agriculture Select Committee in its recent report on food safety, and will publish its response in due course.
I have placed in the Library of the House copies of those responses to the White Paper for which confidentiality was not requested by the respondent. These are accompanied by an alphabetical index and
a summary of comments on individual parts of the Government's proposals. All will be available in the Library for the next six months.

Dion Timmer Branches Out WIth Melodic Trap Effort "Lost"
Dion Timmer is back this weekend to offer up a new single via Monstercat. The producer's latest release sees him deviating from his usual dubstep material with a refined trap outing titled "Lost."
Dion Timmer began attracting serious attention late last year when he was featured on a total of five cuts from Excision's latest album Virus. Getting that kind of support from one of dubstep's top producers is quite the pedigree, but Timmer has the goods to back it up, a fact made very clear on "Lost."
Taking a few cues from artists like San Holo and Marshmello, Dion Timmer delivers a forward thinking trap cut with his latest single. Eschewing the aggressive nature of his dubstep work, "Lost" leads with soothing vocal chops, upbeat 808 rhythms and soaring synth melodies. Over a span of four minutes, the producer dishes up fluttery chords and easy going vibes, before bringing the piece to a close with a pristine bell motif.
The ability to transition seamlessly from genre to genre is the mark of a skilled producer, and Dion Timmer's latest effort cements him as an artist to keep an eye on.
Take a listen to "Lost" below, and head here to grab your own copy.

I made a recent foray into the forums earlier, and let's just say an encounter with an apologist inspired me to write this short excerpt.
I have always wondered about the mindset of religious apologists who claim that when a calamity strikes, it's some sort of lesson we can learn from. That despite all the death, pain, and suffering, there is some sort of greater plan God has for us, and that eventually it will all make sense.
I battled with this notion for a while, and asked myself: What kind of a being, one that is supposedly eternally good and omniscient, would intentionally let suffering and death befall their children, just to teach them a life lesson?
It just didn't make any sense at all. Every metaphor of God I have heard from – as a shepherd, a parent, a loyal guardian, or a company president – would never intentionally hurt their kin (unless they were mentally ill) unless under the most extreme circumstances.
And then, after some quiet reflection, it hit me. I was wrong about God. I was wrong about the imagery I had drawn up of this greater entity, and that was exactly why I had such a misunderstood notion of a God.
To follow the tradition of Mother Teresa and the Apostle Paul, I have had to completely revamp my understand of a God that allows human suffering as part of a greater life plan, and this is the image I have been led to.
Behold, and be in awe!
Hallelujah! I feel more enlightened already. The (puzzle) pieces are finally falling in place.
Just a little something I was cooking up as Holy Weeks starts up – you know the boredom really getting to me now. Send help.
Enjoy the vacation time, peeps!
