The floor in each shepherds hut is great place to show off beautiful hardwoods. We have made floors in local cherry, larch, oak and elm.
The wheels and stub axles for our huts are cast in England from an original shepherds hut wheel. All other metalwork is made to measure by our blacksmith, from the turning wheel, draw bar, curtain rails, step fixings to an other details we ask him to come up with.
The interior panelling we use in our huts is thicker than in most and lends its self to a variety of styles. The most simple is a regular TGV but we offer the choice of a beaded TGV, plain boards, horizontal or vertical boards, or something entirely different if you prefer.

Bush Construction The New Kids on the Block
Quad City Times - By: Jennifer DeWitt
Bush Construction Co. is one of the new kids on the block, which might help explain its young and energetic culture.
Part of the McCarthy Bush Corp.'s family of companies, Bush Construction is the commercial building division of 115-year-old Davenport company.
"I think we've got a culture that is pretty open to giving employees the latitude to make decisions," said Bush Construction President A.J. Loss.
With nearly half its work force younger than 40, including Loss, he said the company empowers its younger employees but also gives them the right tools to prepare them.
"We've got some folks who are very well-established in the industry — who are not part of the young professionals. So we like to team them up with folks we think are the up and coming leaders of the company."
But the youngest members of the team will need to be quick studies, because this is a company on a fast growth track. Founded in 2008, Bush Construction anticipates $30 million in revenues this year. It employs more than 30 people.

How Do I Choose My Best Car Design Faculty?
You haven't any automobiles in your storage. So as to add a new automobile, select the yr, make, and model at left. The historical past of the automobile industry, and the automobile markets themselves, began with the broad-unfold use of gasoline-powered inner combustion engines in the 1880's. In 1885, German engineer Karl Benz designed and constructed the first gas-powered internal combustion engine that was observe for use in vehicles. The primary commercial producers of automobiles had been French partners Rene Panhard and Emile Levassor in 1890. The automotive industry began in the United States in 1893 when brothers Charles and Frank Duryea established the Duryea Motor Company, and by 1896 had bought 13 fashions of the Duryea, an costly limousine, which remained in production into the 1920s" (, 2011).
The group at present has over 20 companies, most of that are associated to 2-wheeler trade. Automakers in less-developed countries should spend some huge cash on safety feature research to compete in areas with stricter controls. Warning: At all times ask the owner of the car for permission earlier than doing this step. If you'd like, have a sample restore which you can show the owner of the automotive of what the process will appear to be. If it is finished nicely, this sample can be reassuring.
While the hybrid P1 had been conceived at around the similar time as the MP4-12C, production didn't really start until the end of 2012 and solely 350-375 items had been produced, all of them being offered out as of November 2013. Learn about instructional and testing assets offered by ASE in partnership with AYES, NATEF, SkillsUSA, and different leading organizations. All of he four×4's have a 10k low cost plus a 1k costco low cost. The 4×2 has a $2,500 low cost.
In 1983, Jumpin' John Goldsmith releases his extensively in style song: You are Still Not Protected In A Japanese Automotive Nice attempt, America. All of my alarms went off and I went shortly again to my service technician and requested him what sort of procedure required the elimination of my tires to change the battery. The high profile GM's deal comes after strong months of elevated earnings by the corporate. The IPO won't only convey cash to GM, however it will also reduce authorities's affect in the firm, as the treasury department is predicted to sell 412 million of its shares, elevating $thirteen billion.

Welcome to the time of year when all Jews Go Green, sit under the stars and feel the joy. Happy Sukkot!
Here are some tips for the holiday:
For 40 years in the desert, G-d protected us with the "Clouds of Glory". For eight days (starting Wed. eve 22 Sep.), we'll step out of man-made comforts and remind ourselves to trust G-d (that he'll hold off the rain, keep the mozzies at bay and protect us from sukkah-breakers).
Stick your sukkah under the stars. No overhanging trees or eaves allowed. (If you're in a complex/ apartment building, make sure you have permission before erecting your Sukkah, or it won't be kosher).
You can use just about anything for Sukkah walls (including existing walls), as long as the walls don't flap like sails in the wind.
Minimum wall layout: 2 full walls + 1 mini-wall (about 1/2m).
Sukkah walls should reach from the floor to the top (you can have a gap of about 10cm at the bottom or top of the walls).
No, your Sukkah will not be waterproof. The roof needs to be made of vegetation that's been cut down (a creeper over the roof is no good).
Popular options for "shach" include: Palm, bamboo or unfinished lumber.
You know your Sukka's kosher when it's shady inside at noon. Rather have too much schach than too little. Do you need to see the stars? Yes (assuming you can see them through the city smog), but only from one spot in the Sukkah (feel free to set up a telescope through the branches).
- Make sure that your lights are waterproof.
- Create openings for ventilation, but make sure you can close them when it gets chilly.
- Pots and pans don't belong in a Sukkah, so prep the food inside and serve on platters.
- Anyone can build your Sukkah, but a Jew must place the schach leaves on top.
Let your kids paint pictures to hang in the Sukkah. Feel free to add decorations of your own.
Chabad custom is not to decorate the Sukkah, because the Mitzvah should be beautiful enough.
Whatever you do, the main decoration of a Sukkah is lots of guests.
Eat all your meals in the Sukkah (you don't have to eat snacks there, but it's ideal).
If you eat bread or wine, add the brocha:
Boruch Atoh Ado-noy E-lohaynu Melech haoilom asher kid'shonu bemitzvoisov vetzivonu layshayv baSukkah.
You should eat your meal in the Sukkah on first night Yom Tov, even if it rains (you can wait for the rain to stop, obviously). Any other time, you may eat inside if it rains.
Women are not obliged to eat in the Sukkah.
Spend as much time as you can in the Sukkah (take your laptop or favourite book in there).
Every day of Sukkot (except Shabbat) you should start the day with shaking the Lulav and Etrog.
Your lulav (that's the tall green palm branch) should stand straight and stay compact. If it's bent or starts to fan out, check with the rabbi if it's still ok.
BTW, the Lulav represents your spine & how you should stand tall as a Jew.
Lulav care:
Keep it moist, not too wet, and in a cool spot.
No, an Etrog is a citroen, a unique fruit grown in Israel, Morocco and Italy. It tastes much better than a lemon & smells better too.
The mitzvah is to have a beautiful Etrog, so spare no cost ; ) Look for one that's yellow, symmetrical and clean (no black spots or blotches).
BTW, your Etrog represents your heart- keep it healthy and strong.
Etrog care:
Keep it dry and safe (dropping it could make it unkosher).
To the right of your Lulav, you'll bind three branches of myrtle (a.k.a. Hadassim). To the left you'll bind two branches of willows or Aravot (NOT weeping willows).
The myrtles represent your eyes and the willows your mouth- make sure what goes into your eyes and what comes out of your mouth is kosher.
Leafy care:
Keep them moist and cool. If the leaves fall off, check with the rabbi if they're still ok.
Do your daily Lulav-waving workout every morning (first prize: In the Sukkah).
Start with the brocha:
1. Boruch Atoh Ado-noi Elo-heinu Melech ha'olam asher kid'eshanu be'mitzvosov ve'tzivonu al netilas Lulav.
When you shake it for the first time, add:
2. Boruch Atoh Ado-noi Elo-heinu Melech ha'olam she'he'cheyanu ve'kiymanu ve'higi'yanu lizman hazeh.
All Jews point the four-species combo in all six directions (right, left, forward, up, down, back), but not all communities do it in the same sequence.
If you've got a Lulav set, share it with others. It's an easy Mitzvah to involve your family, friends and work colleagues in.
Have fun!

It's been a while since I've had sturdy enough internet access to post. Free wifi is harder to come by here than it is in the states. January was a peaceful and contemplative month spent in near isolation at the Mahamudra Centre for Universal Equity in a tiny town called Colville, population 23. It's the last stop for provisions and gas before heading further north on the Coromandel Peninsula.
The road to Mahamudra was a winding one, indeed. I couldn't fully appreciate the incredible mountain and ocean views because I was too busy focusing on keeping the contents of my stomach where they were as we snaked our way over mountain passes and through deep valleys. That, coupled with the fact that the last thing I did before boarding the bus was kill a spider with a book of Rumi poems (probably not good karma), had me worried that things were off to a bit of a rocky start.
But Mahamudra is so beautiful that all my worries quickly faded as I was shown around the grounds and introduced to the staff, visitors, and the kind and eccentric group of guests, some of who spend their free time shouting mantras at cows on the roadside. Mahamudra is a Tibetan Buddhist centre that hosts workshops, retreats, and simple visits. Prayer flags hang from nearly every surface. It's the kind of place you go and forget the rest of the world exists, even though it's a transitory place with travellers coming and going frequently. There was one woman at Mahamudra on a 16-month silent retreat. Yikes! So needless to say, it is very quiet. Isabella, the Swiss cook, took me under her wing a bit and brought a bit of spunk to an otherwise relatively straight laced place. She makes the best hummus in the world.
Unfortunately, I probably did generate a bit more bad merit the first night. One rule at Mahamudra is that you refrain from killing even the tiniest of insects, and my room was, of course, home to what seemed like all the loudest, hungriest Mosquitos on the face of the earth. I built a fortress for protection but eventually caved and went on a bit of a killing spree. Bad Buddhist.
As a WWOOFer, I worked roughly five hours a day mostly cleaning and occasionally gardening or cooking (and once cleaning cockroach poop off a nun's wall), in exchange for dorm-style accommodation and three delicious vegetarian meals. I got one day off per week and generally had afternoons free to explore. The "town" of Colville consists of a general store, a tennis court, a post office, and the Green Snapper Cafe. They have good coffee, free wifi, and "the best hot chips on the peninsula" according to Mahamudra's resident head nun, so that quickly became my go-to spot.
Every morning I did yoga and then at 8:30, gulped down my remaining tea and went to the Gompa for 30 minutes of guided meditation. Eventually I got to participate in a workshop called "how to meditate," which was very informative and very painful. Who knew sitting was so hard? I felt like I had the knees of a 90-year-old who just tried running a marathon. But by the time I left, the sitting felt easy. The only hard part now is the whole "quieting your mind" ordeal. Not surprisingly, I remain unenlightened.
The rest of my time at Mahamudra was spent drinking many a cuppa tea, watching Buddhist Dharma movies, trying to win the affections of Yama the cat, and attempting to live and work with a more mindful and grateful heart. I went on a two-hour horse trek atop a white horse named Ambrose and spent a few afternoons hiking the nearby hills. I saw glowworms in a cave and 360-degree ocean views from a summit. The landscape in Colville is stunning. If you turn 90 degrees, you're looking at something completely different. I turn one way and think I could be in Hawaii, then look to my left and I could be back in Vermont. New Zealand has everything.
At the end of the month, I was ready to leave. I thought if I heard the term "loving-kindness" one more time I might explode. My goal in going to Mahamudra was to learn the basics of meditation, and I'm really thankful that I got to do that. I also ended up learning about the struggle of the Tibetan people. Before Mahamudra, I didn't realize the extent of their problem. So the Centre was a really valuable place to be able to live, work, and learn. It opened my eyes to the fact that Buddhism is much more than simply trying to live in the present moment.

For those who love a good mystery, take a thrilling ride with the latest film released last Friday, "Murder on the Orient Express."
This film takes place on a transcontinental train from Asia to Europe and revolves around the murder of one of the passengers on the train. As someone caught on the train in the midst of a snow-in, the detective is hired to then solve the case.
Director and actor Kenneth Branagh, also known for directing "Thor" and "Cinderella (2015)," did an excellent show of cinematography by using the glass panes of the train to show the double-sided stories of each character's truths and lies.
Not to mention the beauty of the movie with its wide landscape shots and show of the train. Of course, character design between personality and costume is perfected to the T since each passenger is a completely different person from the next.
This movie was stocked with big name actors, including Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Josh Gad and Willem Dafoe.
The movie plot reminded me much of "Clue" with the stock character stereotypes and the reason to believe one's more guilty than the next. The detective himself reminded me too closely of Sherlock Holmes with his wit, his emotional isolation and his keen eye for details.
What struck me most though was the end. SPOILER ALERT. The end had me baffled but not too surprised as the detective tied everything together in the sequence of events. I was so bent on finding one murderer, I completely overlooked the overlapping lives these passengers had and how they "coincidentally" found themselves together.
It was an excitedly twisted end that I had foreseen and kicked myself for not tying the ends together. Something a true detective must remember is to forget any conventional ways of crime and to seek the truth of reality. The detective had an eye for imbalance, and he knew something was off about everyone he interviewed.
I was left jumping between passengers by measuring each person's mental strength and motive to want this man dead. What I didn't expect was for all of them to have killed the man. He was a liar, a thief and a murderer. The detective knew he had many enemies but didn't realize that all of them had a hand in his murder.
I certainly can't be disappointed in the turn of events. It was an excellent mystery movie that changed the end to leave everyone in the right and wrong. It's not too often when a mystery leaves all of the suspects at fault. Maybe my detective skills need some honing, but I guess I'll leave it to you to decide if you guessed it right.

At the 25th MTV Movie Awards, Melissa McCarthy was heralded for the Comedic Genius all "Gilmore Girls" fans have known she is since 2000.
It was really the 2011 comedy "Bridesmaids" that skyrocketed her to stardom, but since then she's given side-splitting turns in "Identity Thief," "The Heat," "Tammy," "Spy" and now "The Boss." Her highly-anticipated female "Ghostbusters" movie hits theaters this summer, so it's only fitting the MTV Movie Awards honor this Comedic Genius in 2016.
After accidentally throwing her award across the stage when Kevin Hart goes to hug her, McCarthy says, "Thank you, Mr. Rock Johnson and thank you, Mr. Rock's assistant ... I don't know about the odds of keeping your job after that eff up, but we'll how it goes."
RELATED: Melissa McCarthy's wind machine destroys Jimmy Fallon at 'Lip Sync Battle'
But in all seriousness, McCarthy has a laundry list of funny women to thank for getting her here.
"I may be the first woman to receive this award, but I am certainly, certainly not the first one to deserve it," says McCarthy. "I think I'm a walking human patchwork of other remarkable funny women who I have loved and studied over the years. I am only here because Carol Burnett, Jane Curtain, Phyllis Diller, Whoopi Goldberg, Teri Garr, Madeline Kahn, Lucille Ball, Gilda Radner, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Diane Keaton, Tracey Ullman, Bette Midler, Lily Tomlin and my mom Sandy Lynn McCarthy taught me not to fear being the butt of the joke and taught me not to worry about being likable or perfect and to lovingly go for the kill."
She ends by thanking the fans and giving a shout-out to The Boss for his North Carolina boycott in the wake of its LGBTQ discrimination laws.

An investigation has begun into the cause of a fire which broke out at a derelict pub in Leeds last night.
The George IV pub in Hunslet closed in July when its licence was suspended amid concerns that it was being used as a weapons and drugs den.
After hearing evidence from police on July 18, a Leeds City Council panel ordered a three month suspension.
However, firefighters were called to the pub in Grove Road at around midnight following reports of a blaze.
Crews from Leeds and Hunslet found the first floor and roof were alight.
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the building and used two large jets to put out the flames.
A West Yorkshire Fire service spokeswoman said the cause of the fire was now under investigation.

Results from a small but extensive study of 25 toddlers with autism indicate that symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) might be treated by infusing kids with their own cord blood.
The Phase I study was conducted by Duke University Medical Center and published in early April in Stem Cells Translational Medicine.
"We hypothesized that umbilical cord blood-derived cell therapies may have potential in alleviating ASD symptoms by modulating inflammatory processes in the brain," researchers wrote.
For the study, researchers recruited 25 children between ages two and five whose parents had saved their kids' umbilical cord blood at blood banks, which are used by those who believe in them as precautionary measures against any future need for transfusions or DNA/stem cell implants.
The youthful participants were first tested with several authoritative behavioral and functional tests to establish a baseline then infused with their own cord blood. The same tests were then administered six and 12 months later.
Parent reports and clinical assessments indicated that over two-thirds of the children saw improvements in autism symptoms—mostly during the first six months after infusion.
"Significant improvements in behavior were found across a wide range of outcome measures in this study," the scientists wrote.
However, buried deep in the study's fine print was this key "but": "It is not possible to determine whether the observed behavioral changes were due to the treatment or reflect the natural course of development during the preschool period."
In other words, did the kids improve because of the blood infusions? Or because they simply grew?
Researchers are now enrolling participants in a Phase II randomized clinical trial.
Medicated ADHD kids do worse in school: study
"To our knowledge, this is the first nationwide study to compare educational outcomes of children with treated ADHD with their unaffected peers," wrote University of Glasgow (Scotland) researchers in a May 1 study in JAMA Pediatrics. "This investigation is more than 20 times larger than previous studies reporting similar educational outcomes."
Their study reviewed 2009-2013 data from four national health databases and four national education databases—covering over 766,000 schoolkids ages four through 19.
While a mere one percent (less than 7,400) kids were taking ADHD medication, the study found that those kids performed worse in school and had worse health outcomes.
The study also found that use of ADHD medication was linked to increased rates of exclusions from school, hospital admission (primarily for injury), and a higher risk of a variety of special needs, including: mental, social, educational, and behavioral problems; learning disability; and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
The study also found that 84 percent of those were male and came from families of lower social status and poorer health habits. The medicated kids were found to have also been born earlier, with lower birthweight centiles and lower APGAR scores.
In contrast to current guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), current U.K. recommendations suggest that drugs not be used as first-line therapy in kids with mild to moderate ADHD.
U.N. Rejects Teen Contest Winner Due to Autism
When it comes to practicing what it preaches on disability rights, the United Nations is looking more like "Do as I say, not as I do," not the progressive world body it boasts to be.
A May 2 article in The Oregonian detailed the inexplicable decision by a U.N. body to deny a Portland boy with autism his hard-earned place at an annual U.N. event in New York—apparently because the U.N. program is unwilling and/or unable to accommodate him.
Earlier this school year, Niko Boskovic, 15, a mainstream non-verbal high-schooler who uses a letter-board to communicate with others, won a contest sponsored by a national fraternal organization.
Contest winners, 300 youths from across the world, gather in New York City to participate in the ten-day annual United Nations Pilgrimage for Youth.
However, the state headquarters of the national organization delayed confirmation of Mr. Boskovic's place on the trip—because it had not received confirmation from the U.N.
When pressed by the teen's mother, who was planning to accompany her son throughout the trip as a personal communication aide, the state head informed her that "the U.N. program's board of directors was reviewing his application, and would make a decision."
In early March, Janet Bruce, executive director of the U.N. program, wrote Ms. Boskovic: "The Board of Directors has instructed me to tell you this delegate will not be accepted for the tour"—ostensibly because "chaperones were not allowed on the tour."
Further pressing by the Boskovic family and supporters prompted another brow-raising defense: the program "didn't have the staff and knowledge to be accountable for someone with a disability."
Family and supporters have since threatened legal action involving numerous disability-related violations by the U.N.-affiliated body, primarily those involving the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
In December 2006, the U.N.'s General Assembly formally adopted the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
The Convention, which officially establishes international disability-rights standards, has been symbolically signed by over 140 U.N. member nations to date—including the U.S., when American U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice signed it in late 2009.
But the international treaty remains non-binding on U.S. soil until finally approved by a full Senate vote. A 2012 attempt failed along party lines, and a September 2014 repeat was struck down by Utah Sen. Mike Lee, who objected that the treaty could compromise U.S. sovereignty.
While the treaty is broadly supported by many U.S. disability advocates, as well as civil rights, faith, business and veterans' organizations, many of its protocols are already in place in the U.S. due to the sweeping Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of year here.
"They bring youth from all over the world to gather and share," said Boskovic family attorney Gordon Magella of the U.N. program. "What they're essentially saying is they don't want input from Niko."

Habitats and Species
The health of the Great Lakes depends on the health of the entire ecosystem: the Great Lakes themselves, plus coastline, wetlands, rivers, watersheds, and the flora and fauna that call these places home. Many opportunities exist to protect and restore critical ecosystem elements even as we strive to improve our understanding of emerging issues and their impacts. Toward this end, the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative has made habitat and species protection one of its five priorities.
Read on to learn more about NOAA's Habitat and Wildlife Protection and Restoration projects:
Coastal Land Conservation in the Great Lakes
The Coastal Land Conservation project will support coastal partners to permanently protect high priority coastal habitats within the Great Lakes watershed. Great Lakes habitat protection will be accomplished via two existing NOAA land protection programs: the Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program (CELCP) and the Great Lakes Areas of Concern Land Acquisition Program. Both programs are administered in partnership with Great Lakes state Coastal Zone Management programs.
NOAA's Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program (CELCP) preserves and protects habitats with exceptional ecological, historical, and recreational value. CELCP was established in 2002 as a nationwide program to assist local and state agencies with protecting and conserving important coastal and estuarine habitats. GLRI funding has enabled CELCP to expand protection of vital Great Lakes coastal and estuarine habitat. To date, 535 acres of pristine Great Lakes coastal land has been permanently protected through the GLRI's supplemental funding to the CELCP.
The Great Lakes Areas of Concern (AOC) Land Acquisition Project is modeled after the CELCP program. However, instead of solely focusing on ecologically intact habitat, the AOC Land Acquisition Project also targets areas that are high priority for habitat restoration. The Land Acquisition Project provides GLRI funds so that state and local agencies can purchase land in AOCs. Acquiring damaged habitat is the first step in establishing a pipeline of GLRI-supported restoration projects, which specifically work to remove habitat-related beneficial use impairments (BUIs).

Assessing the potential of novel inorganic conservation treatments to preserve deteriorating Ancient Egyptian limestone Sculptures.
The British Museum has a large collection of stone artefacts, including limestone sculptures, from different geographic locations and cultural backgrounds. Some of these artefacts suffer a range of deterioration problems, varying in severity. In particular several Ancient Egyptian artefacts, formed from stone with a naturally high salt concentration, are degrading rapidly and have reached a state where it will be necessary to apply a consolidant. A consolidant is a substance that is applied to decaying stone with the intention of restoring its chemical and physical properties. The Back to Nature project was developed to evaluate the potential of three novel, inorganic, stone consolidation techniques based upon naturally occurring rock components, in comparison to more conventional methods based upon organic chemicals.
Current consolidation treatments available, such as organo silanes, have not always been successful when applied to limestone artefacts, and also have significant drawbacks in ease and safety of application and environmental sustainability. Inorganic consolidants are an alternative that could offer greater compatibility with carbonate stones, but they have been criticised in the past for their poor penetration depth and deposition within stone pores. New technological developments, particularly research into 'nano-limes', have led to a return to investigating the possibilities for inorganic consolidants.
The Back to Nature project was developed to evaluate the potential of three novel, inorganic, stone consolidation techniques based upon naturally occurring rock components, in comparison to more conventional methods based upon organic chemicals. The three new treatments selected for investigation were: CaLoSil, a newly commercially available consolidant using calcium hydroxide nano-particles; Ammonium Oxalate treatment, a technique developed in Italy based upon the process behind naturally occurring calcium oxalate patinas; Calcite In-situ Precipitation System (CIPS), a treatment developed in Australia for the oil and gas industry. As a comparison, Wacker OH 100 (a commonly used Organo Silane) was included in all investigations. The project used three key approaches: archival research into the artefacts suffering deterioration and past treatments used within the museum; practical research into conservation methods with museum stone conservators; experimental investigations into the consolidation treatments in laboratories both at the museum and in Oxford.
Experimental investigations have been conducted on blocks of stone in representation of the artefacts. This allows new treatments to be tested extensively without risk to the artefacts themselves. The blocks are tested before and after consolidation to measure the effectiveness of the treatment. A large variety of analytical methods have been used in the Back to Nature project to assess the consolidation effectiveness including: Drilling Resistance Measurement System (DRMS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Thin Section Petrography, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), PunditLab Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity, Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (MIP), Equotip, Ion Chromatography, Spectrophotometry, Karsten Tubes, and GrindoSonic.

Episode 5:
3 Reasons Why Criminals are Not Caught
by Duane D. Wilson
As I see it, police agencies across the United States are faced with 3 major challenges when dealing with criminal behavior:
First, the rapidly- changing demographics of America have had a significant impact. Up until 1965 immigration was limited, primarily allowing new immigrants from Western Europe. As Communism vanished from the European landscape, fewer Western Europeans sought a better life in America. However, since that era, America has witnessed a new wave of immigrants from other parts of the world and cultures, such as the Middle East, Africa and Mexico. In many respects, the changing cultures have proven difficult for law enforcement to deal with. For example, these newly arrived cultures have made it challenging for police officers to establish close relations and relate effectively to diverse communities. Strong police-community relations are essential for effective law enforcement.
Second, technology has changed rapidly. When dealing with an organization such as LE agencies, there are challenges presented by a constantly-changing technological landscape. The recent spate of police shootings 'caught on tape' is an indicator of the far-reaching effects of technology. Should police be monitored with body cameras? Conversely, why shouldn't police be scrutinized so significantly? The debate is significant and growing. Change takes time, training and tolerance.
Thirdly, in earlier eras police had different approaches to investigate crimes and interrogate criminals. But, slowly over the years, since the Warren Court (roughly 1953 to 1969), the Supreme Court made rulings that changed the reach and direction of police investigations. The Warren Court expanded civil rights, civil liberties and judicial power in dramatic ways, all consistent with the Bill of Rights – all of which changed the actions of police officers. Many would argue it has been difficult for police to adjust to some of the restrictions.
Still another challenge faced by LE agencies concerns training. I believe more training hours are necessary to properly equip and educate officers to deal with modern citizens, much less criminals. Police officers currently receive approximately 665 hours of initial training. Contrast this number to the training hours for hairdressers and consider these training requirement facts from California: 1600 hours for a Cosmetology License; 1500 training hours for a Barber License. (beautyschoolsdirectory.com)
There are no quick answers to the evolving needs of modern policing in a rapidly-changing society! Just as there have yet been no quick answers to 'whatever happened to the East Area Rapist?' With the FBI's recent re-opening of this 40 year old heinous crime spree, readers will find compelling considerations in my novel TERROR AT 3 A.M.
I welcome reader feedback!

New trade waste procedures for businesses
Posted on 7th Aug 2018 at 10:27 ( Last updated on 7th Aug 2018 at 10:27 )
Attention all businesses
In order to help make Glasow a cleaner, greener city Glasgow City Council are changing the trade waste procedures.This will affect all businesses that store or put their waste out for collection on roads, pavements or lanes.
The changes mean all trade waste containers (bins, bags and recycling)
- must be stored inside business premises instead of on the street and
- must only be put out for collection during pre arranged time slots.
All businesses must be compliant by 15th September 2018
Please contact your trade waste supplier to discuss the changes and how they will affect you.
More information, including advice, support and details of the changes can be found on the Glasgow City Council website https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articlied=22905

Some people are rich. They can afford a dedicated track day car plus a support crew with well-stocked toolkits and well-shod racing wheels. Good for them. The rest of us, however, who still like to turn in a few hot laps every now and then, have a different set of challenges. These are often based on different sets of tires. What works for getting us between our place of employment and home week in and week out doesn't usually hold up so well on that fast, sweeping right-hander just before the start/finish straight.
So we asked Woody Rogers of Tire Rack to give some advise on the best tires to take us from street to track and back again. The excellent Mr. Rogers is a product information specialist, and Tire Rack is the largest independent tire tester in the United States (as well as being a retailer). This is how Rogers obtains much of his product information, along with 25 years of being a track rat. He devised an ingenious two-pronged approach: trackable street tires and streetable track tires.
1 | BFGoodrich G-Force Rival
Narrower sizes have a three-rib design; wider versions use a four-rib pattern. The asymmetric tread consists of a silica-infused compound. Chamfered block edges resist that "feathering" effect caused by hard cornering and braking, while sidewall inserts help with steering feel. Sizes range from 205/50 ZR15 to 285/35 ZR20. A set of four costs from $408. Rogers remarks: "High lateral grip and very long wearing. Perfect for CrapCan racing."
2 | Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R
A newly developed compound is molded into a directional tread design with a continuous center rib flanked by large shoulders, plus "seven-shaped" multi-angle lateral grooves. The tire's symmetrical internal structure helps to keep a balanced footprint distribution during aggressive cornering. Size range: 205/50 R15 to 275/35 R19. Set of four: from $492. Rogers remarks: "Bridgestone's fastest street-legal tire."
3 | Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Spec
These Dunlops are recommended by Tire Rack as suitable for autocross and drifting as well as regular track work. They provide consistent grip over a range of temperatures. The tread is highly rigid and deflection forces are distributed along the two-ply polyester sidewalls so a driver can feel how the tire behaving at its limits. Size range: 185/60 R14 to 275/35 R19. Set of four: from $492. Rogers remarks: "Precise steering response and high-grip level."
4 | Hankook Ventus R-S3 (Version 2)
Tire Rack calls these Z222 tires "Version 2" to differentiate them from the pre-2014 range that had an older tread compound formula. It doesn't actually say "Version 2" anywhere on the sidewall. The directional tread design includes large shoulder blocks, notched intermediate ribs, and a wide center rib to make as large a contact patch as possible. Two-ply polyester sidewalls, like the Dunlop Direzza, are similarly useful when drifting. Size range: 195/50 R15 to 305/35 ZR20. Set of four: from $460. Rogers remarks: "The new Racing CarbonBlack silica tread compound comes up to optimum temperature quickly."
5 | Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 R
Not only does this tire have plenty of carbon for dry grip and Micro Silica for wet grip, its micro-molecule polymer blend also increases rigidity and wear resistance. On top of that, it features orange oil to replace some of the petroleum-based product traditionally used in tire construction for a little less environmental impact. They don't give off an orange-like smell, though. Twin circumferential center ribs, extra-wide Uniblock shoulders, and HydroArc channels. Size range: 205/50 R15 to 305/30 R19. Set of four: from $452. Rogers remarks: "Precise steering feel and strong dry traction."
6 | Toyo Proxes R1R
A double whammy of arrowhead tread design augmented by an autocross-inspired casing lets the proxes r1r into the extreme performance party. The former finds the balance between grip and water evacuation while the latter allows the driver to get on the throttle early at the exit of a corner. Toyo recently changed the r1r's uniform tire quality grade (utqg) from 140 to a 200 treadwear rating. Size range: 195/50 r15 to 265/35 zr18 (there's a 275/40 zr17, by the way). Set of four: from $468.
7 | Continental ContiForceContact
We often hear about cars being developed and tested at the renowned Nurburgring, but here's an example of a tire that underwent the same rigorous trials. The company's proprietary Black Chili compound is formulated using resins for grip at the microscopic level and molded into front/rear, size-specific asymmetric tread patterns. They're unshaved for better performance in the damp. Shaving improves performance, but that naturally affects tread life as well as traction on damp surfaces. Size range: 225/40 ZR18 to 305/30 ZR20. Set of four: from $880. Rogers remarks: "Very predictable at the limit, plus very good wet traction."
8 | Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2
Peruse the sidewalls of almost any supercar and there's a good chance they will say Michelin Pilot Sport. The Sport Cup 2 is original equipment on the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Porsche 918 Spyder and the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupe Black Series. Its asymmetric tread pattern features different compounds for the inner and outer regions to provide maximum cornering grip as well as precise steering feel. The company's Filament at Zero degrees (FAZ) technology combats centrifugal forces and works to keep the contact patch consistent. Size range: 235/40 ZR18 to 325/30 ZR21. Set of four: from $1,684. Rogers remarks: "A supercar tire you can use on any car."
9 | Dunlop Sport Maxx Race
This tire came as original equipment in the track package option for the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe Black Series. The compound comes from motorsport applications and is set into an asymmetric tread design with an extra-large outside shoulder block, as continuous center ribs help with steering response and stability through the corners. Size range: 235/35 ZR19 to 305/30 ZR20. Set of four: from $1,340. Rogers remarks: "Great dry grip for your track toy."
10 | Yokohama Advan A048
This tire comes in medium or medium hard compounds so it can be ideally suited to a car's weight and performance capabilities. It's probably not surprising that the Lotus Elise and Exige roll out of the factory on these race-ready tires. Tread design is a single block that brings stiffness and stability. It handles transitions from straight-line speed to high cornering forces and then back to straight-line speed with a reassuring predictability. The directional tread design and symmetrical internal construction allows remounting partially worn tires inside out to squeeze a few more miles out of them. Size range: 205/50 R15 to 295/30 R18. Set of four: from $532. Rogers remarks: "Great dry traction and a reputation for long wear—for a track tire."
11 | Falken Azenis RT615k
Tire Rack doesn't carry Falken tires, but we have a soft spot for them that's in no way swayed by the fact that the company likes to go racing with Porsches and has won championship titles. The rt615k sports an asymmetric tread pattern on either side of a solid central rib. One part of that design consists of large shoulder blocks that should inspire plenty of confidence through the corners. Size range: 195/60 r14 to 315/30 r18. Set of four: from $384 (price sourced from Pep Boys via Amazon).

We enjoyed meeting Christina McReynolds and seeing behind the scenes of her screen printing business. Her studio is a super organized, sunny, happy place and we didn't want to leave. She is very kind and shared with us creative tips that we are very grateful to learn. We can't stop thinking about her metallic inks and thermal label printer for example…art geek stuff. Beyond her bustling online business, she takes time to print custom shirts for local schools, bars, events and coming soon, us! Her work is top notch and she uses water-based non-toxic inks. I think my Ballet For Adults gang will love her Barre Hoppin' Muscle Tee in Mauve.

The Wreck of the GRIFFON (book)
The Wreck of the
GRIFFONThe Greatest
Mystery of the Great Lakes
In the year 1679, the first ship to sail on the upper Great Lakes disappeared with its entire crew and valuable
cargo of furs. Built by the explorer, La Salle, near Niagara Falls, its loss nearly ruined him. To this day, more than 335 years
later, the wreck of the GRIFFON has not definitively been found. It has become the most hunted -- and the most "found"
-- shipwreck in Great Lakes history! This book relates the fascinating story of the GRIFFON:
its background, information about the many (22!) claims of discovery made in the past 200 years (none yet proven), the
excitement of possible recent discoveries (including the most recent one, made public in December, 2014) -- and where the
wreck likely is. On its maiden voyage, this ship was the very first to sail across Lake Erie,
up the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers, and across Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. On its way back to Niagara from Green Bay,
it vanished, commencing the centuries-long quest to discover its fate. 224 pages,

Earthenware Boxes
Price guide to antique earthenware boxes. Earthenware is pottery that has not been fired to the point of vitrification and is thus slightly porous and coarser than stoneware and porcelain.Read More
The earliest ceramics made by humans were pottery objects (i.e. pots or vessels) or figurines made from clay, either by itself or mixed with other materials like silica, hardened, sintered, in fire. Later they were glazed and fired to create smooth, colored surfaces, decreasing porosity through the use of glassy, amorphous ceramic coatings on top of the crystalline ceramic substrates. Ceramics now include domestic, industrial and building products, as well as a wide range of ceramic art. In the 20th century, new ceramic materials were developed for use in advanced ceramic engineering, such as in semiconductors. Reference: Carter, C. B.; Norton, M. G. (2007).

It seems all her hard work is paying off after the Sports Ministry, helmed by Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, recommended her for the prestigious award. This decision comes after Rathore, a former Olympian himself, came to power in July 2016.
News agency ANI broke this news on their Twitter handle and wrote: "Indian shuttler PV Sindhu recommended for Padma Bhushan by Sports Ministry."

Earlier, former Indian skipper and World Cup Winning Captain MS Dhoni also got nominated for the same award by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
So, it could be a toss-up between the two sporting legends of the country. PV Sindhu recently beat Okuhara in the Korean Open and avenged her World Badminton Championship loss. Sindhu now joins the elite club comprising of shuttlers Saina Nehwal and Pullela Gopichand. In March 2015, Sindhu was conferred India's fourth highest civilian honour – Padma Shri.
This has been a memorable year for the Indian shuttlers. Sindhu, who recently became first Indian shuttler to bag Korea Open Super Series title, is now the second athlete after former Indian skipper MS Dhoni to be nominated for the award this year.

Sindhu getting recommended for the honour is a big thing as this will inspire more Indian women to pursue a career in sports.

Extra Point

A puzzle
Heres a puzzle/riddle that has had me buffaloed since fourth grade.
Take a sheet of paper or clear off a section of a chalk board.
Draw three squares and three circles.
Draw lines from each square to each circle, or the other way round if you fancy yourself a rugged individual.
Only two rules: first, none of the lines may cross; second, no fair hooking up in series. There has to be a solid line from each square to each circle.
Play with it a while.
You will be able to get from every square to every circle .. except the last one.
Start over, do clockwise and, then, counterclockwise swirls.
Rearrange the circles and squares. Intersperse them, put them in a line, put one in the middle and the others somewhere else (I haven't tried that one yet but I just know it wont work.)
Give up?
Its probably only a matter of time . I've been working on this little beauty for almost 50 years. Clearly, I can expect a breakthrough any moment.
While you are at the problem, gaining quickly on my accumulated knowledge, reflect a bit on why this puzzle is so intriguing.
Heres my analysis.
The overall objective is simple, connect dots (circles and squares) with lines. The task only contains nine steps and each step is basically the same, and simple to boot. Therefore, it seems reasonable to conclude that all the steps can be completed no matter how many times one is stymied in the process. The reason for failing, even after 30 or 40 thousand attempts, is never articulated because each failure is such a surprise. Instead of reflection, the normal response is to begin again to avoid acknowledgment of the frustration of the prior effort.
So, what does this have to do with anything? What's the point? What's the extra point?
Isn't this just like the public policy problem of providing adequate health care for everyone? You know, There's Medicare for the elderly, Medicaid for the poor, Dr. Dynosaur for the young, group insurance for the employed, free emergency service for the young immortals, professional courtesies for the docs, managed care to hold down the costs, and fee-for-service for the financially independent. If we just add medical savings accounts, a few tax breaks for generic drug manufacturers, set up ethician panels to ration gene therapy, and a means-tested surcharge, well be done.
Right? Or, with each new idea (or line) don't we need to replete an old one?

Okay, I will give this a try, thanks. I'm surprised it true by default when installing with the standard Tomcat Windows installer. --- An update from my side: I'm now assuming, that the issue causing this is actually coming out of Axis. I have had many issues with Axis 1.x not seeming to be thread-safe on client side (and I use a lot of multiple threads, typically ~20-30) and I have put in a lot of workarounds for issues coming out of this, but this one is new: I normally use two different URLs of redundant services in my SOAP calls. The usually differ only by hostname, the rest is the same. When setting up the new Tomcat version I had to change the webapp path, so that I ended up with different hostnames and webapp paths in the two URLs. It seems like Axis 1.x is sometimes getting the URLs of different call objects confused, but the hostname and path parts separately... Not good. This previously was unnoticed in my software as the paths were always the same (in the situations with redundant services), now I got 404 because the hostname and changed webapp path did not match... I have now made the webapp paths the same in my test environment and so far I haven't got a 404 again. So it seems like this is not an issue with Tomcat, but with Axis 1.x. Sorry for bothering the wrong mailing list in the end. I know Axis 1.x has been discontinued for quite a while now, but I haven't yet found the time to switch to a different Java SOAP lib like Axis2 (which is a rewrite and needs a bit more work to change to), but it is pretty clear I have to do that sooner rather than later...
