In 1940, fifty years after Wyoming was admitted to the Union, the people of Laramie marked that anniversary with a 2-day celebration called "Equality Jubilee Days."
The next year, the name of the event was changed to just "Jubilee Days." The length of the celebration has varied, but Wyoming Statehood Day, July 10, has always been a centerpiece.
In the Biblical sense, "Jubilee" means a celebration held every 50 years to mark an important event in the history of the Israelites. The Old Testament Book of Leviticus says "…consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you…."
So the Laramie organizers got it right that first year, but the meaning of "Jubilee" has eroded over time to describe the celebration of any anniversary for anything. So the cry of "Let's Jubilee" resounds in Laramie every summer.
There was not much talk about rodeo events in the early years, but horses certainly were featured, from horse races, horse-drawn vehicles, horseback riders, to horse shows in the UW War Memorial Fieldhouse. In an oral history recorded in the 1980s, Centennial resident Bob Engen recalled how much fun he and his teen-age friends would have practicing horseback routines to show off in the Jubilee Parade.
A parade has always been a feature, and there has always been a Jubilee Queen. Gradually the celebration incorporated rodeo events that had been held previously under other auspices. Steer roping began in 1947, with Wyoming rancher and horse breeder King Merritt (1894–1953) furnishing the stock.
In 1949 a carnival was held in an unusual place—the city block on 2nd between Garfield and Kearney. That block was vacant then because all the buildings on it had burned to the ground in 1948.
The Top Hand award was initiated in 1955, with Andy Pirtle of the Miller Ranch the first winner in competition which continues today. To win this award is a great honor for those of Albany County's ranching community.
Jean Howe Krafczik Britton wrote a history of Jubilee Days in 1987, published in the book "Laramie, Gem City of the Plains." When she was the first Jubilee Queen in 1940, horse races took place at the site of "the old refinery" (the Midwest Refinery on Cedar Street)—which had been mostly demolished by that time. Betting on races ended in 1971, due to changing state regulations over the sport
Specific Jubilee Days events have come and gone over the years, some being missed more than others when they no longer happened. Old-timers will recall that in the 1960s the downtown was transformed with boardwalks laid over the cement sidewalks. A "whisker growing" contest came and went, as did the tradition of riding a horse into one of the many downtown bars. "They had to put a rope up over the entrance to the Plaza Bar (at 306 Grand Avenue) to keep out the horses and riders," recalled Amy Lawrence, queen of the third Jubilee, in 1942.
In the 1970s the Jubilee Committee would "arrest" a family of tourists who showed up for the celebration not attired in appropriate western dress. With a mock jailing, the family was given free rodeo tickets and lodging, plus coupons for western clothing at obliging local shops.
"The Year of Jubilee" is a featured lyric in several gospel songs, signifying the time when slaves are set free and when peace, joy and harmony reign. In Laramie, it's a good old-fashioned celebration, with a bit of reflection on what it meant to have finally become a state in 1890

Rule number one, put up some big wooden boards, then do not do a sodding thing until some natives come and put their stamp on it…
The stamp should take influence from the locals too…

So it is 58 days until the biggest show on earth comes to town, everyone is besides themselves with excitement and anticipation. Well not quite…
It should be the greatest show on Earth but the over OTT approach of LOCOG and some of the sponsors no doubt runs the risk of creating a negative feeling amongst those who actually live in the Eastend and further a field.
News of Florists being forced to take down flower arrangements which are in the shape of 5 rings, food places getting into the spirit of the games being told to remove their Olympic themed offerings and even a granny fearing prosecution for her home knitted dolls at a car boot sale.
Sponsors mean that these big events can go ahead, but should there be a little bit of humility amongst these super-sized multi-nationals? For me it is all a bit bully in the playground. Surely there is a clever marketeer out there who could maintain the benefits of sponsorship whilst not looking like the party pooper de jour?
Amazingly…. even this Olympic countdown clock has had to remove certain references…. I wonder if I might be hit with an order to remove certain words.
Can't wait for London 2012 me….
I like things that are a a little uncomfortable to watch, that make you re-evaluate what you are seeing, hearing and taking away from the exhibition.
The Gillian Wearing exhibition is very much a naked truth thing, it can sometimes be a little uncomfortable to watch, there are times when I sniggered like a pre-pubescent boy and other times when the story warmed.
The exhibition at the Whitechapel has imagery, story telling and acting, the one thing that every piece does is play with identity and our pre-conceptions. Be it through adults miming the words of a child, the artist herself photographed in the guise of others such as Andy Warhol or the rather disturbing confessions of people hidden behind elaborate masks and wigs.
I like fashion, but not really high fashion, I like going to the shows but there are often people whom live on a totally different planet at them. Most of those people are the designers, which is what makes them good, but sometimes it is all so bloody serious.
It was refreshing to find that a certain Mr Marc Jacobs who on finding graffiti scrawled on his SoHo store decided to use this to take the mick and take the witty vandalism and making it into clothes.
Maybe should have seen it coming from a man with a Sponge Bob Square Pants tat
This was by Kidult, and was only the latest in a series of attacks. I can only imagine how pissed the anti-Jacobs chap was when he found out that his 'work' was now adorning t-shirts. To add insult to injury, they are feckin' expensive at $689.
Kidult then responded with his own t-shirt selling in limited edition for €6,89
The cynic in me wonders if this was a clever partnership…. I'd like it if it was
Mooching, wondering, cycling, pondering, taking a few pics then tweaking them for your eyeball delectation….
In tribute to Dan Fenlon, or CK1, an artist from Bristol who was killed earlier this year while in Thailand
No eye dear who this is…. Laura and Sally maybe?!
And another one…
Studio in an urban wasteland, around Hackney there is the haves and the have nots. Urban regeneration is all around us, tho some some steely types who refuse to leave these condemned buildings, and this is one such guy
A few more random pictures from my wonderings around East London on a bicycle. Hackney Wick, Mile End and all the industrial estates that did not get raised to the ground because of these Olympic thingy ma jigs certainly house some great pieces of street scribbling and colouring in
Followed by a nice bit of randomness
In amongst all this Olympic poppycock we seem to have dedicated a shed load of £££ on grown up sports, maybe forgetting the kids, not in Mile End mind. The Mile End Skate Park is packed with kids rain or shine. I like.
What I also like is that the place is adorned with graf, in the pool, the walls the floor, the benches. Everywhere.
The place looks pretty good too, a real urban hangout, even if you can't skate, BMX or any other urban sport, you can go and spray or tag.
I do not know any of the artists and in my mind I like to think that are by kids, the next generation of painters who will be taking to the streets, canals and eventually galleries of London and beyond
Say what you will about Bristol's finest but he makes sure people do not forget him, every new piece he stencils in London, Bristol, New York, LA or any other city for that matter.
I am not that fussed by Banksy's work on the basis that I do not think he is doing too much to push the boundaries, bring the humour or be particularly political. The piece I spotted today is pretty, no denying, the colours make it something very easy on the eye but…..
The idea of an artist with a ball and chain around his ankle, is he for real? In today's day an age artists are hardly constrained, street artists can graf pretty much where they like within reason and they are making a packet from it. And why the hell not, I think they should. My question to Mr. Banksy is how the bejesus are you being constrained?! I'd wager you are sitting pretty pretty me ol mucker. Those shows in NYC and London, celeb fans such as Brangellina, the film. Banksy must be comfortable enough to be a bit more imaginative.
Also I know that is his style but something makes me wonder if he could do anything else….
See Above
When you combine two of my interests, cycling and art then usually you get me cycling to a gallery, probably stopping off for a wee cocktail en route and then homeward for some people watching.
Not if you are Christopher Wallace (no not Biggie, he dead y'al), he managed to use GPS tracking to create his own little piece of art as he got fit. I love this for it's simplicity and because it looks a bit like something I'd draw… albeit it better tbh.
Wallace did this is Baltimore… which is in the US of A y'al
This would be about as easy as finding a virgin in Essex if you tried it in London as we do not have blocks and it would look like the cyclist was a piss head with rather lax sense of direction.

Web Exclusive | Tracking the Red Ribbon Express in Northeast India5 min read . Updated: 04 Jul 2008, 06:11 PM IST
Web Exclusive | Tracking the Red Ribbon Express in Northeast India
Web Exclusive | Tracking the Red Ribbon Express in Northeast India
New Delhi: Mohan Singh Rana is the chief executive officer of the Red Ribbon Express, one of the world's largest advocacy campaigns ever mounted. An initiative that was carried out by National AIDS Control Organization (Naco), the Indian Railways, Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) and a host of different government and non-governmental organizations, it is travelling across the country, halting at 180 designated stations, following a meticulously laid out plan. Simantik Dowerah caught up with the officer while he supervised operations of the Red Ribbon Express in Northeast India. Excerpts from various discussions held during the period:
How did the concept of the Red Ribbon Express (RRE) take shape?
Coinciding with World AIDS Day on 1 December 2007, the Red Ribbon Express was flagged off by UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi from New Delhi's Safdurjung station. The train chugged out with an ambitious travel plan that aims to cover over 9,000km, while halting at 180 districts and reaching 43,200 villages across the country.
The plan involved coordination and participation of NGOs, CBOs, healthcare workers, volunteers, social activists and the general public. The brain child of the then director general, Naco Dr SY Quraishi, the initiative was envisaged as a multi-sectoral and multi-activity social mobilization campaign in 2004.
On what basis was the RRE's routing worked out?
It wasn't easy to fix the entire route given the vastness of the country and the varied geographical terrain. Sticking to a time period of a year was another daunting task. There was no extra time for the train to spare anywhere. Initially two trains were planned but it was one train that was finally designated by the Indian Railways exclusively for the purpose. Railway minister, Laloo Yadav has since said that he would allocate another train in 2009.
The routing was worked out based on the prevalence rate of the HIV infection. States and districts that had recorded high infection rates and vulnerabilities were on top of the agenda. Besides, the north-eastern states that have always battled with issues of accessibility and reach were high on priority. The train was to spend sufficient time in these states, reaching out to different cross-sections of people, both on the railway platform/station and within the villages in the vicinity.
What about the special look and feel of the train, which is very different from the regular Indian Railways entity?
Various advertising agencies worked on the project, taking into account regional specifications. The train's branding was one part of the story while the other was designing, printing, translating material for different audiences with information, photographs, charts, posters and self explanatory manuals.
Planning and designing the exteriors and the interiors of the train was a process that again involved many agencies and concepts. Innovatively plastered with relevant HIV/ AIDS messaging, it factored in India's 22 officially recognized languages and dialects along with its cultural diversities, in order to make it relevant for each set of audiences.
Several ad agencies bid for the project, which finally went to JWT. The yellow, red and green facade of the train succeeded in drawing people. Of the seven coaches, three were for exhibitions and one each for counseling and medical services. There was also an auditorium-cum-conference coach and a pantry car. Facilities of lodging were available for the local artiste troupes of each state who would hold people's attention and engage them through drama, street theatre, games, workshops, demonstrations and other folk media.
What was the plan on spreading the message, expanding the circle?
The primary focus of the train is to cut across states spreading awareness on HIV/AIDS and promoting behavioural changes through counselling, training, multi-media content, exhibitions and cultural performances. Nevertheless, the Red Ribbon Express became the platform for many different agencies to perform on the same platform together.
The huge youth network NYKS had hundreds of volunteers fanning out at every station. Using bicycles, they zipped across to a cluster of villages and created a buzz about the arrival of the train, informing the rural population about the RRE and explaining to them the purpose of the train's visit.
Union government ministries like Rural Development, Panchayati Raj, Women and Child Development, Information and Broadcasting, Social Justice and Empowerment and Human Resource and Development and international funding organizations like UNAIDS promoted preventive health habits and lifestyles with regard to HIV.
State AIDS Control Societies (SACS), National Cadet Corps (NCC), Scouts and Guides, Songs and Drama Divisions, Red Cross and volunteers from the National Service Scheme (NSS) also played a role in ensuring that correct information was disseminated and more people stepped forward voluntarily to avail of testing facilities to know their HIV status.
Apart from the groups that went out on bicyles, young campaigners or advance teams travelled in buses to cover longer distances. They prepared a receptive atmosphere, by mobilizing the community and having the troupes received by the Panchayat or village head. The enthusiasm of the villages was particularly warm, because each one of them had received a letter from the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh himself, seeking their support and participation.
Surely, there must have been some glitches too?
The biggest problem is we did not have any Indian Railways staff moving along with the train. In small places where the train encountered air conditioning problems or any breakdowns, resulting in inconvenience and delay. It affected visitor flow as well.
Filling water tanks of the coaches was difficult in places where the stations did not have running water. In Nagaland's Dimapur district, the troupes on board the train had an argument with the authorities as both the AC failure and non-availability of water aboard the train, led to people falling ill.
Insensitive visitors who thronged the venue with the objective of having fun was also irritating but this was a hazard we were wiling to deal with.
Which states elicited the most response?
By the first week of March when the train was in Assam after having visited 10 states, we could clearly see that this was a most successful campaign. The crowds were very supportive in Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand where we had more than 11,000 visitors daily just visiting the stationary exhibition and nearly a lakh people on the platform.
When does the RRE journey end and what next?
The Red Ribbon Express will wind up its journey on World AIDS Day 2008, exactly a day after it took off at the Safdurjung station in New Delhi. By then we would have data and case studies to show the impact and response this campaign has generated. The success of RRE will motiviate us to strengthen this maiden effort and to plan similar mega campaigns that have the potential of reaching out to people in the rural hinterland with information and tools that can empower them to make the right health and lifestyle choices.
Simantik Dowerah covered the Red Ribbon Express tour in Assam and Nagaland while on its mission to educate the masses on HIV and AIDS.

Teaching an old dog..new tricks???
The younger me thought it to be some sort of laughable joke....a knock-knock one..a one that asked for no real response.
Old dogs..are simply old dogs. And - anyone over that sweet and tender young age of 30 - could be classified as such.
Now? Finding myself on the other side of this 30-year-fence?
New tricks is where I'm at..what I'm about. Look and learn. You'll see.

text: We had an hour to walk around Del Norte today. I spent most of my time in a great antique shop owned by Mark. The shop was filled with so many amazing antiques, and Mark showed us the apartment upstairs. The building was old with tall ceilings. The apartment was decorated sparsely with immense and intricate antiques. I couldn't help but thinking that this whole town felt like it was from a different era. There were old cars, old buildings, and every shop felt like it could have existed in the 1960s. Sometimes I can't tell if small towns like Del Norte are actively cultivating this ancient feel, or it is a product of something else. Mark said he opened an antique shop because tourism was a good way to make money, the pharmacy put up old signs and cash registers, and many of the building facades look like they belong in an old western. Leisurely walking in and out of shops in a small town makes me feel like I am in a simpler time and place, but is that because this actually is a simpler time and place, or because it is designed to feel that way.

FISABIO-Oftalmología Médica (FOM) has pioneered the implant of custom-made intraocular telescopes, intended for patients with myopia magna. A double lens system is implanted in the eye and works as Galileo's telescope, which enhances visual acuity of low vision patients.
This system involves the implant of an biconcave intraocular lens with high negative power in the posterior chamber of the eyeball and, at the same time, the implant of a biconvex intraocular lens with high positive power in the anterior one. Both lenses allow us to enlarge the size of the retinal image by 20%-30% (compatible with ambulation) and therefore improve eyesight.
FISABIO-Oftalmología Médica (FOM) is the only hospital in Spain offering this system for high myopic patients in a personalized way; thus, lenses used are not standard, but adapted to the needs of each one.
FOM has created a complex software website enabling the patient to estimate the suitability and the post-implant outcome of this double lens system. Previously and with and an absolute certainty, this gives us a chance to know refraction and vision improvement in the aftermath of surgery.

As the colder weather sets in, so does the uptick in virus infections. Normally we are only talking about computers and servers but today we mean a literal biological virus that human beings can get infected with.
The cold weather makes people stay indoors more often and the cold weakens our immune system so that is a perfect recipe for an increase in airborne virus infections. This can affect your business as employees spread it around the office and you have key personnel that endup having to call out sick and the workload piles up.
Even though we are talking about viruses that humans contract, we are also a company that remains one of the top providers of IT services Houston has to offer—so we are indeed talking about computer virus infections as well.
Computer viruses can cause potentially significant damage to your business simply because, inorder to correct the damage they do, it takes valuable time away from doing tasks that are actually profitable such as taking care of your customers. The holiday season sees a lot of employees taking a vacationand having a more lax demeanor at work. There are company parties, gift exchanges and a lot of other distractions to get your cybersecurity guard down. Just like with human viruses, taking the initiative to learn how viruses spread and learning ways to mitigate your risk of exposure is the best defense.
How To Prevent Computer Viruses When Dealing With:
Your computer can contract a virus simply by visiting a website that has some type of malicious code or downloadable file hidden in the buttons that you click to navigate the site. The website itself could have been hacked and had the malicious content added or the website owner could've intentionally put the malicious code there themselves.
Even though no website is completely protected against hacking attacks most of your better, well-known sites take more precautions to mitigate their exposure to having their website compromised. Avoid visiting shady websites such as sites that offer software at very deep discounts, pirated software, generic knockoffs, and other similar sites.
Naturally,that won't guarantee you will come across a legitimate looking site that has been compromised but will mitigate your chances of exposure. You can also check out the validity of sites first by looking up their domain in Google to see if you get any results that discuss the website in question is a potential threat.
Email Attachments
Some types of email attachments aren't always what they seem and they can carry a vicious virus within them. If someone you don't know has sent you an email with an attachment do not click on it as that can trigger the virus toinstall on your computer or what security experts call a payload. Security experts call these types of attachments executables because they are actually programs not documents. But some documents even aren't what they seem, a common virus going around is actually now deployed in a file that seems like a harmless pdf file. Even if the email in question is from someone you knowbefore you click on that attachment verify with that person that they indeed sent you an email with an attachment. That extra measure can be the difference between a full-blown infection and a failed attempt from a hacker trying to infiltrate your system.
Software Downloads
As mentioned before the Internet has many sites that offer software for download; much of it is legitimate but some of it is pirated or infected without the site visitor knowing. Even software that looks like it may have a legitimate use and may actually even function as a legitimate program can carry a hidden virus that can be triggered at any time. If you are going to use open source software or other free software, download it from the site that is run by the developer themselves rather than third-party websites.
Removable Media
You should be very careful when using removable drives such as USB external drives, USB flash drives, or media cards. Drives can be infected with viruses that execute their payload upon being inserted into a computer without you even having to do anything at all. Never use a drive or removable media source that you found as it could purposely have been left there in hopes of someone picking it up and inserting it in the computer out of curiosity.
Your First Line Of Defense
Even with all the providers of IT services Houston has to offer nothing is as effective of a firstline of defense as antivirus software. Most of your modern antivirus software for commercial use not only scan your computer but it checks your email, scans web pages, removable media, andeven your hard drive to detect, quarantine, and/or remove viruses that are present on your computer. Even though these programs do cost extra money and taketime to set up and properly configure if it stops even just one attack it makes it all worth it.
How To Prevent The Spread Of Biological Viruses In The Workplace
Cleanliness Is Healthy
While this shouldn't be a great revelation to anyone, the cleaner your workspace is— the healthier it is. Keeping things like your mouse and keyboard wipe down with a disinfectant every so often can be the difference between catching the flu or catching a break.
It's really not that hard to clean your mouse and keyboard, all you need is a cleaning cloth and a solution that is approved for electronics.
When you start to consider all the different surfaces and people you come into contact throughout the day you realize it's actually fairly easy to track those germs right back to your keyboard or mouse that you touch every day.
Also,it's not like we'resix years old— wash your hands frequently throughout the day. If you sneeze or coughon them wash them again. And it wouldn't hurt to keep a small bottle of hand sanitizer at your workstation just in case you come into contact with someone who is sick either by shaking hands, then breathing around youor other forms of germ transmission. Hope you didn't read this before lunch.
Don't Turn Your Workstation Into A Kitchen
We all have that one person in the office that has enough food at their desk to start their own cooking show podcast right at their workstation. Don't be that person; not only is it unclean, but it's alsojust plain unprofessional.
When you eat at your desk it's natural that crumbs are going to fall from whatever you're eating. Those crumbs get lodged in between the keys on your keyboard as well as other crevices on your desk. And with all the other microorganisms floating around the office your desk might as well be a buffet for them to feed on if you have all those crumbs around. And let's be honest with all the microorganisms floating around the office and how many people have come by your desk and probably touched your stuff or breathed on it— do you really want to eat your bagel and cream cheese right there at your desk around all those germs— yeah, let that sink in for a minute.
Cover Your Mouth When You Sneeze Or Cough
This is another one of those tips that even six-year-olds know— I mean they even turned the proper way of coughing into a viral YouTube dance. Okay, so maybe we'reexaggerating a little bit on that last point but you get the idea—cover your mouth when you coughor sneeze!
Also, as a provider of IT services in Houston; companies allow us in their offices and around their employees all the time. We can't tell you how many times especially during the cold months that we've seen employees sneezing in their cubicles all over the computer without covering the mouth. Literally, they just spread millions of microorganisms all over their desk and beyond.
The easy solution is to simply turn into Dracula when you have to sneeze or cough— turning your head into the crook of your arm as you sneeze or cough,keeps germs from spreading all over the place in a disgusting spray of microorganisms. Sure, it sounds weird but it's better than the alternative—the flu or a nasty respiratory infection.
Common Sense Is The Best Defense For Both Kinds Of Viruses
In the end,common sense really is the best defense for both viruses, computer and biological. Since we aren't doctors, all we are giving you is common-sense advice that doctors themselves give. Where we do specialize, however, is in preventing computer viruses as well as other IT services Houston companies need. So when you need the best in IT services and virus prevention; call Marimon, and get the IT services you need from the best in the business.
Contact us today for a free consultation and we will come up with a plan that is custom tailored to the needs of your business no matter what size it is.

Bed bugs (sometimes spelled bedbugs, without the space) are fairly small (1/8"-1/4"), wingless, reddish-brown insects that are only found in association with people, usually in the room where people sleep. You never find a bed bug just crawling around outside, for example! They don't move very fast, can't fly and depend on us to move them from place to place usually by hiding in our belongings.
Bed bugs are normally first detected because of mosquito-like bites that occur during the night. Bites itch but are not otherwise dangerous because bed bugs do not spread disease like some other insects. Once bites occur an inspection of the room and bedding will usually turn up the insects between the mattresses, on mattress seams or on bedside furniture.
See pictures of bed bugs and a drawing of hiding places and bites. The second link also has information about safe and effective ways of getting rid of bed bugs if they do turn up.

Converting Beach Trash to Fuel
Many of us have witnessed slices of paradise polluted with plastics. Be it lush green valleys, rivers through the jungle, or tropical beaches that have been neglected and trashed. It is overwhelming. How do we help? What is a solution to this trash?
Whilst in Fiji, I had the opportunity to test out a bit of fascinating technology that actually converts these plastics into useable oil. If we could recycle plastic found on beaches and in landfills into fuel, perhaps trash would take on more value and not be left to swarm our slowly strangled planet.
My host Adrian, of Ocean Ambassadors, has a table-top size Blest Be-h Plastic to Fuel gasifier machine. He crowdfunded for this Japan-made bad boy a few years back to demonstrate the power of valuing beach trash ie. plastics, ability to micro-produce fuel, and the need for closed loop recycling programs in the islands.
Not only is it shack-size, but this machine prefers the worst plastics! Chip bags, plastic wrappers, thin filmy plastics that are not accepted in any recycling program. Specifically, those labeled with # 2, 4, 5, 6 and some 7. Generally, recyclable plastics are polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS); but each brews a different mixed oil. Polystyrene works in this system, but does not contain gasoline, kerosene, or diesel equivalent; it should be treated separately and can be used as an assistant fuel. PET, what most plastic bottles are made from, is avoided. PET converts to oil at 600 degrees celsius, but the max temperature for the Be-h is 450 degrees. In this heat PET actually sublimates, so it goes from solid to gas to solid, skipping the liquid oil phase all together. This makes including it problematic and messy. PVC is also steered clear of, as gasification produces Hydrogen chloride and Dioxhin. (http://www.blest.co.jp/) Generally, all was fair game except plastic bottles & styrofoam.
A large storm was coming, so instead of heading to a beach that cops all the mainland trash, we went to the leeward facing side of Malolo island to extract as much plastic as would fit in our bins. Much of the trash had been there a while, it was embedded in the sand or stuck under tree roots. This stuff does not go away! Often when we do beach cleans in other countries we try our best to ensure the trash collected is disposed of responsibly, but there is nothing like holding trash that I was about to personally recycle into a useable material!
We headed back to the shack where I sorted the plastics and cleaned them. The furnace in the gasifier heats up to 420 degrees celsius, so if any sand is left on the plastics it would form glass. Fortunately I had found a toothbrush in the cleanup which made scrubbing out bits of sand a breeze.
Once dry, the plastics were chopped into smaller bits and shoved into the furnace. The lid was screwed on tight and the touch screen walked us through ten safety checks before beginning the three hour gasification process.
Once the plastic reaches boiling point (420), the gases then travel through a pipe into an adjoining container of water where it condenses into oil. Gradually a thin film began to form on top of the water, which had turned a brown colour.
Since there is no combustion, no toxins should be released in the process. However, it's likely a few contaminants may slip in. These may show up in the water, visible by change in colour; otherwise, any noxious gases that are produced rise through a pipe connected to the water tank into a charcoal filter.
The thin film becomes a thick layer of oil, our very own richly toxic molasses. Once the three hours is up, we let it cool and then drain the oil from the upper valve. Now we have a crude oil made from our beach clean plastics!
A kilogram of plastic turns into about a litre of oil. It takes about 1 kW of electricity for the process. This oil can be burned as is to fuel things like generators or stoves. Or it could be further separated (by the Be-h) into gasoline, diesel, or kerosene.
Let's be real, if we are going to burn this oil, we will be polluting. Additionally, there were a few chem-y smells floating about and I'm not entirely sure where to dump the brown water, so this process is definitely not getting the "Mermaid Approved" stamp. However, it does show that plastic is a resource that should be valued and not left to line the streets and sand.
Once we stop treating trash as trash, and instead treat it as a commodity, it will no longer pile up polluting paradise. It will shine with potential, showing it's value as one step away from powering a vehicle or heating a house. The gasifier may not be a perfect fix, but this experience certainly gives me great hope for our oceans!

About Oregon
Oregon is a coastal state on the Pacific Ocean. A large portion of Oregon's northern border is made up of the Columbia River. The state is the ninth largest in the nation, and it has been nicknamed the "Beaver State."
Oregon is a great place for students to attend school. There are many good high schools in the state, such as International School of Beaverton in Aloha, Corbett Charter School in Corbett, and School of Science and Technology in Beaverton. Students interested in pursuing a private education also have multiple great options spread across the state. Some of these options include Oregon Episcopal School in Portland and the Delphian School in Sheridan. Oregon students can be matched with private tutors through Varsity Tutors. These online or in-home tutors can work with students on their course instruction or test prep.

For MIRC .. read the following information ....
EuroNet Chat may be accessed using any IRC (Internet
Relay Chat) software, independently of the web browser. If you
don't have IRC, you can download it for free from the web. I
recommend mIRC. Click on the logo on the left to open a
window with dowload locations.
Once the software is up and running:
You should get a window which looks something like the one pictured below. If you do not get this window, go to the File menu and select Options...
Then click on the "Add" button which is pictured above. You should bring up a window which looks like this:
Type the information into the fields exactly as it is pictured above.
In case you can not see the image, the fields are as follows:
Description: EuroNet Chat

There is no "Group" required, and "Password" is unnecessary unless your nickname is registered.
Click "OK" and the EuroNet Chat server should now appear in the list, as in the top diagram. Now fill in your details - name, e-mail address and Chat Nickname and click "Connect to IRC server".
You should get a window pop up which looks like this:
Type "#hellas" into the top line, then click the button to the right: "Add" to add it to the list. If you are using mIRC for the first time, there will probably be a whole load of channels already listed which you don't need - I recommend you go through these, deleting them to clear up the space so you only have #hellas there, as pictured above.
Now all you have to do is to double-click #hellas in the list every time you connect.

To read the official synopsis, click here.
Something happened to the world. Time has fractured somehow, so now depending on where you are in the world will depend on what time period you are in. Sophia's parents disappeared exploring this new world, so she lives with her uncle Shadrack who is a famed mapmaker in 1891 Boston. It is Shadrack's disappearance that prompts Sophia to leave her time and travel west with the help of a boy named Theo.
I wanted to love this book. I really did. I absolutely loved the premise of this book. I thought the author did a great job at the world building and the book was beautifully written.
But I was really confused. I had a hard time following what this story was about.
I couldn't follow what exactly was happening in this book. I couldn't keep all the characters straight in my head.
I listened to this book rather than reading it. I am not sure if this made a real difference. But since there are so many people that love this book I am adding it to reread pile.
I give this book a C.

There is only a few days left until Christmas and you still haven't bought your photographer friend a gift. We've all done it. You're probably reading this write now in hopes to come up with some ideas. Here is 5 last minute gifts for photographers.
- Print their photos
Photographers love prints. Pick out some of their favorite pictures and have them printed. You can even get upload them online and have the photos shipped directly to their house. I highly recommend adoramapix.com. They have tons of different sizes and reasonably priced.
2. Camera strap
It depends on the photographer but almost ever photographer doesn't use their supplied camera strap. A great place where you can get good quality camera straps are esty.com. They have a wide range of cloth and leather straps for decent prices.
3. Film
Every photographer has started with film or have shot with film before. Film is actually not that expensive (depends on what film your buying). Give them some film and let them reminisce the good ole days.
4. Memory cards
Since photography has been shot digitally for years now. I know there is some that still shoot film. One of the concerns when shooting digital is running out of space. So, pick up your photographer a memory card, he/she will greatly appreciate it!
5. Portable printer
This is a more expensive gift but he/she will love it. These printers are fairly small and can fit in a pocket. All you really need to do connect it to your printer (usually WiFi) and in a matter of seconds. The best part is the film or printer paper is readily available.
If you enjoyed this article like, comment, or share! Happy Holidays!

Montgomery County Graphic Design Studio Celebrates 25th Anniversary with 25 Acts of Kindness
Quinter Design pays it forward: 25 pro bono projects for non-profits for 25 years in business.
Brookeville, MD, February 01, 2018 --(
)-- January 2018 marks the 25th anniversary of Quinter Design, an award-winning, Montgomery County graphic design firm, and the company is celebrating in a distinctive way.
In observance of the silver anniversary, Quinter Design's principals have launched a year-long campaign of 25 Acts of Kindness for area non-profit organizations. The goal is to complete 25 pro bono projects during 2018 to help the groups that work to improve life in our community.
"The non-profit sector has played a critical role in our firm's success," says Robyn Quinter, the firm's president and founder. "We've created projects for many agencies and organizations. Right now, the demand for their services is growing while their budgets are shrinking."
"While we've been on our mission to rid the world of unattractive and ineffective marketing materials, our non-profit friends have been working to improve our community," she adds. "Our anniversary is the perfect time for us to return their support in a way that bolsters their efforts."
Quinter Design jumpstarted the campaign last month with projects to help two organizations with holiday efforts: marketing collateral for the Olney Lions Club's Toys for Local Kids collection and a redesigned sponsor banner for the Metropolitan Ballet Theatre and Academy in Gaithersburg.
Additional projects are already in the pipeline, says Quinter, and the firm has reached out to other Montgomery County non-profits.
Representatives from area non-profit and agencies with design and/or marketing needs are encouraged to contact Quinter Design at www.QuinterDesign.com or 301-924-4654.

Have you contacted Google?
That would seem to me to be the place to start.
Well... Anyone here from Firefox?
I do not think that one can actually contact Google. I have gone to the help area and posted messages there.
Today Gmail works in IE and logs out, so much as I prefer Firefox, I suppose I shall have to use IE for my email in Future. It would seem that the problem lies with Firefox and not Gmail, so "Anyone here from Firefox?"
EDIT: Now I have the same problem in IE7 as well. No problems the first few tries but now, no good.
Problem Solved
I had foolishly imagined that regularly using CCleaner would clear the cache in Firefox.
Obviously it doesn't as cleaning out has solved the problem.

Alienation of Affection & Criminal Conversion in Charlotte
Suing a Paramour in North Carolina
In North Carolina, both alienation of affection and criminal conversion are recognized as legal tort actions. These are two legal actions that can be brought separately, although they are often discussed together. The Charlotte divorce lawyers at Jetton & Meredith represent the victims of alienation of affection and criminal conversion.
Do you believe that a paramour is responsible for the dissolution of your marriage? Call (704) 931-5535 for a consultation with one of our lawyers.
Liability of the Paramour
Alienation of affection and criminal conversion are substantiated by willful and malicious interference in the marriage by a third party, known as the paramour. In order to sue a person for loss of affection, you must be able to substantiate your claims and prove liability.
In order to prove liability, you must be able to show that:
- You and your spouse were happily married prior to the paramour's interference
- Both spouses shared genuine love and affection for each other
- That affection and love was alienated and destroyed
- The malicious acts – which can include sexual intercourse – of the paramour produced the alienation of affection
Our alienation of affection and criminal conversion attorneys in Charlotte take a unique approach to each case. We prepare each case carefully to demonstrate that the paramour engaged in acts that precipitated your divorce.*
Effect on the Divorce Settlements
Although infidelity has no impact on divorce settlements in no-fault states, North Carolina continues to recognize these tort actions, and the outcome may affect your divorce. In cases involving high assets or complex property division, a tort of this nature can substantially alter the alimony agreement in the final divorce settlement. Sometimes the threat of a lawsuit is enough to impact the outcome of a divorce.* Because this area of law is complex, it is important to seek advice from an attorney to understand how the law applies to your situation.
If you believe you are the victims of alienation of affection and criminal conversion, call (704) 931-5535 to discuss your situation with a lawyer at Jetton & Meredith.

what draws us to the broken?
is it an unconscious mirror?
an attempt to heal (ourselves or others)
What inspires us to push the good people out of our life?
What makes those people fight to stay in our life?
Why don't others care to try?
At what point can you stop and lay down your load?
Empty your heart and smile again?
When does it become okay to just close your eyes and enjoy the moment?
What is the path to that pleasure?
Now seeking human beings who can hug despite the pain, love despite the flaw, and acknowledge the fear without being sucked into it and who can laugh at him/herself.
…love of angry white boy music a bonus….

Two days ago, Randy Orton "RKO from out of nowhere" Vines featuring a crudely edited-in Viper stalking and RKO'ing people from preexisting fail videos were a fun thing the Internet was doing. Later that afternoon, they were everywhere. Yesterday, the guy who made them had already made heavily watermarked compilation videos and sent them to Deadspin. Today, the trend is officially over.
Why? Because the newest RKO from out of nowhere was posted on WWE's own Vine page. Yes, WWE has an official Vine stream, and yes, it's like your parents finding out a new slang word and using it wrong. You can never use it the same way again. In true WWE fashion, they use the meme to take a shot at WCW.
On Monday, a wide-eyed Jerry Lawler will stare into the camera with a dead smile on his face and say, "these RKO Vines are outrageous!" I'm happy we could all briefly share these.

Since I didn't cook dinner this marvelous meat in a tandoor oven, it is not truly tandoori lamb, which will save some of you the time letting me know all the opposite methods it isn't the actual deal. 4. Wine & Water- In the case of liquids, I stick with the fundamentals: H2O and essentially the most important, wine! Drinking as much water as you possibly can isn't solely good in your skin, it is also great on your total effectively being. As they are saying, wine a day, retains the physician away" or is that an apple…? Let's follow the wine! When you comply with me, you recognize this to be true. Cabernet Sauvignon is my BAE, and completes my life.
HLE measures mirror current mortality rates and well being status for numerous populations and suggest the lengthy-range implications of the prevailing age-specific demise and illness charges. HLE is a relatively simple measure that can be readily utilized by public well being officials, well being-care providers, and policy makers to grasp the well being status of a inhabitants. The outcomes introduced in this study can be used as a baseline for states to monitor the HLE of individuals aged 65 years as they age, establish well being disparities amongst subpopulations, and target sources to enhance inhabitants health.
Since healthy life expectancy is also associated to high quality of life and degree of well being, a relative index might examine an individual's outcomes in opposition to a benchmark healthy life expectancy for somebody with common" characteristics. This could then be used as an underwriting software and to predict future well being care prices. Our mannequin may also serve as a patient screening tool for medical suppliers by incorporating extra detailed lifestyle and dietary details as well as prior medical historical past information.
Sure! All of the examples above are dangerous habits it's best to keep away from. Along with avoiding smoking and alcohol, extreme exercise, yo-yo weight-reduction plan, and not sleeping enough, you should also avoid the solar when you aren't carrying sunscreen. Stick with at least 30 SPF, and don't skip it on cloudy days. Sun exposure might lead to well being risks, similar to most cancers. Read on for another quiz question.
Yr after yr we make resolutions to exercise recurrently, eat properly, and quit smoking and different bad habits. Following such basic rules can minimize coronary heart disease risk by 80 percent, diabetes risk by ninety p.c and most cancers risk by 50 %, in line with the Harvard Nurses' Well being Study.
Stick to healthy food from each meals group. This means staying away from meals excessive in saturated fats, sodium and added sugars. Eat more complete grains, lean proteins resembling hen or legumes and beans, low-fat or non-fat dairy, and enhance your fruits and vegetables.

Turtle Activities
Sea Turtles are air-breathing reptiles that migrate long distances between feeding areas and nesting beaches. The conservation and recovery of sea turtles requires cooperation and outreach to make sure these vulnerable animals survive. We encourage you to explore the biology and adaptations of sea turtles, their position in marine food webs and threats these animals face in our changing oceans, and we hope to recruit you as stewards to help us educate and lead our conservation efforts to help protect our four ESA species on the West Coast: The Leatherback (endangered), the Green sea turtle (endangered), Olive ridley sea turtle (endangered), and the Loggerhead sea turtle (threatened). We are looking to inspire classrooms and schools to help in our efforts to conserve these animals that have roamed our planet for millions of years.

Rape trial fallout: The Ulster rugby pretence this was routine Press conference lasted two minutes
Everyone knew there was a huge elephant charging around the room.
The bright and airy Terrace Suite may have looked inviting, but it was also freezing, and no attempt was made at encouraging the gathered media to outstay an already chilly welcome.
Ulster Rugby officials were well aware that the posse of journalists and photographers hadn't descended on Newforge just to hear about the team's preparations for this weekend's PRO14 match against Edinburgh.
Indeed, some news journalists, including this one, had hitherto been warned via email about what they were expected to ask.
"Please note that this is our match week media call so only rugby matters will be discussed," it stated.
"No comments will be made in relation to the trial or subsequent review."
The pretence that this was a routine audience with the Press prevailed for less than two minutes. After all, this was the first Ulster Press conference since two of the club's best-known players were acquitted of rape almost a week ago.
Should everyone just pretend that the last two months hadn't happened, that one of the most high-profile trials in Northern Ireland legal history hadn't been spun out and forensically examined through every medium imaginable, that the online backlash against Paddy Jackson and Stuart Olding was gargantuan, vicious, unprecedented and ongoing?
Neither chief executive Shane Logan nor operations director Bryn Cunningham - the two main men - were there to answer questions. Neither was Ulster Rugby's chief media man.
When head coach Jono Gibbes entered the room at 3.30pm alone and visibly uncomfortable he persisted with his efforts to make this just another Press conference about just another Ulster game in just another week.
But the venue had changed - from Kingspan Stadium to Newforge Country Club - as had the timing of it, from the usual Tuesday get-together.
Cynics might suggest that this was an attempt to brush a few distasteful crumbs under the carpet on a wet and sleepy Easter Monday, a good four miles away from Ravenhill.
Gibbes himself added to the surreal atmosphere.
This is the man who announced a month ago that he would be leaving Ulster to return to his native New Zealand... just days after dismissing rumours of his imminent departure Down Under as "fake news".
Sporting his club cap, he sat down in a blue chair placed in the top right-hand corner of the room, facing a two-deep semi-circle of blue chairs occupied by a mix of news and sports journalists as photographers snapped away.
The first couple of questions from the media concerned Ulster's forthcoming encounter in Edinburgh; but the third, less than two minutes in, was about the "off-field stories in the last couple of weeks" and whether they'd been difficult for the outgoing coach to manage.
"It's a reality certainly, but there's people placed in the organisation to deal with things like that," he said.
"My role is to prepare the guys for performance stuff for the match week. You focus on what you can control."
He was then asked by Belfast Telegraph rugby correspondent Jonathan Bradley if Jackson and Olding would be available to play this season, or when he's likely to find out. He replied: "I've got literally no idea.
"It hasn't been communicated to me and there's a process going on at the moment in Dublin that's at the highest level of the union and I can't really comment on anything more than that."
Another reporter asked about mood and morale in the team, to which Gibbes answered: "Our energies are pretty good."
When I subsequently asked if there was any truth to the rumour that there had been a split in the Ulster changing room, marketing communications manager Damian Kelly cut me off immediately.
He said: "Sorry, I think we've established we can't make any further comment on off-field issues. You're trying to refer to off-field issues. Can we try and keep it focused on the game this weekend?"
Next up following a question about Craig Gilroy - who was recently reported to having participated in the series of lurid WhatsApp messages made public during the trial - Gibbes confirmed that the winger was available for selection.
But the 'off-field' questions kept coming.
A sports journalist asked if this episode had been "a massive cloud". Gibbes said: "It's not a situation I've ever found myself in before. It is a difficult situation, but I can't control any of that stuff."
Ulster Rugby has so far resisted calls to make public its code of conduct for players. But when I asked Gibbes if there was a code of conduct for players off the pitch, he was prevented from answering. Mr Kelly said: "That's of no relation to this week's game, so we'll have to move on."
Gibbes departed and was replaced by two overseas players - Ulster views spoken with a southern hemisphere accent. But they added little.
With Newforge being the property of the PSNI, everything was always going to be conducted in an orderly fashion.
Ulster Rugby, tightly run and tight-lipped even at the best of times, were certainly not going to be effusive about this hottest of hot potatoes.
And tempers, inevitably, frayed long before the end - but at least we learned that the team is going to have a tough game this weekend.
For Ulster Rugby, however, the real challenge still lies ahead.
5 questions we wanted to ask ulster rugby chiefs
1. Will Paddy Jackson and Stuart Olding play for Ulster Rugby again?
2. When will the findings of the review committee, made up of senior representatives of the IRFU and Ulster Rugby, be known?
3. Who exactly is on the review committee?
4. Is Ulster Rugby concerned about the negative publicity from the case?
5. Do you have a code of conduct, and will it be published?
Belfast Telegraph

B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies with an emphasis on Early Childhood Education, Oregon State University
I have been a part of Saint Nicholas Catholic School since 1997, when my oldest son began Kindergarten. All four of my children attended their entire elementary education at St. Nicholas. Prior to being a stay-at-home mom, I taught at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic School in Bremerton. I was a substitute for 11 years before teaching again full-time.
St. Nicholas Catholic School has high expectations for all its students and I set high goals for my 1st graders, actively engaging them in learning. I use positive motivation and constant encouragement to help the students consistently reach their goals. I remind students why we are here: to become saints. The theme of our classroom is "I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11) We strive to follow God's plan for us in the classroom and do our best at all times.
Practicing Corporal Works of Mercy:
October: Food drive
November: Nativity House socks and toiletries drive
December: Giving Tree clothing drive
April: Water for Africa coin drive
Learning a new "Saint of the Day" every morning
Celebrating the season of Advent in special ways:
December 7th: Día de las Velitas, Night of the Candles

Students study operations and algebraic thinking. They study how to solve word problems, count to 120 starting at any number, and organize, represent and interpret data. They learn to tell and write the time in hours and half hours using digital and analog clocks. Students learn to name and identify coins and their values, identify halves and quarters, and compose two- and three-dimensional shapes to make new shapes.
Students will explore and learn about motion and forces in Physical Science. They enjoy learning about a variety of insects in Life Science, and study weather patterns and astronomy in Earth Science.
Social studies
In Social Studies, students discover how to utilize maps, charts, and other geographic tools. They learn about seasons and celebrations, current affairs, safety, and how to be good citizens.
In the tradition of the Catholic Church, children will grow in understanding of creation, the Sacraments, the Bible, angels and saints, and the Holy Trinity. We celebrate a variety of liturgical seasons and introduce students to a life of regular prayer. We pray as a class daily and participate in weekly Mass.
Language Arts
Students will expand their language and vocabulary through practicing writing narrative, opinion, informative and explanatory pieces. They learn to express a sequence of events and focus on a topic through details. Students also utilize digital tools to produce, publish, and share writing. Spelling and grammar are important elements of first-grade instruction. Students practice proper spelling, beginning sentences with a capital letter, and ending with appropriate punctuation. Children also practice collaboration through small group projects.
Students build confidence and practice pronunciation by reading aloud with fluency, accuracy, and understanding. They practice memory and comprehension, and are asked to describe characters, settings, and major events in a story using key details and illustrations. They identify parts of a story and use character setting, conflict/problem and main idea. We also foster a love for books and reading by reading for pleasure: stories, informational texts, and poems.
Our technology specialist teaches children how to understand computers, practice keyboarding skill, use common applications, and practice safe, legal behavior.

I am eternally fascinated by the creation of new buzzwords and phrases to describe developments in our modern world, and as they relate to PR in particular, but I must confess I am underwhelmed by the latest concept of the moment – that of the 'pink ghetto' and speculation this week that PR is one such 'ghetto'.
What is a 'Pink Ghetto' I hear you ask? According to news reports, a 'Pink Ghetto' is an industry that is described as being 'highly feminised', i.e. where women make up a predominant percentage of the workforce. Okay, that explains the 'pink' part, but the 'ghetto' aspect is less than flattering and has the implication that women get stuck there, and that their presence therein implies some loss of freedom and scaling-down of entitlements.
It would be of little surprise to many that such professions as teaching (particularly primary teaching) nursing and childcare have long been regarded as Pink Ghettos, but I was somewhat surprised to read the recent reporting this week (click here to read the coverage) that both human resources and PR are now regarded as Pink Ghettos too.
A report by Sydney recruitment firm Salt & Shein has found areas like public relations and human resources can be practically male-free zones, which according to the study had left women feeling "pigeonholed" in certain roles, that there was a "logistical nightmare" managing maternity leave and flexible working arrangements for mothers, and ultimately a lack of diverse views.
I must admit to being fairly puzzled by this reporting. Why is it that male-dominated professions like mining or automotive industries or banking and finance are not regarded as 'Blue Ghettos'?
I believe that the subtext of this debate, and what is not being said, is that industries that are regarded as Pink Ghettos are not seen as being prestigious or well-paid, and while that may be true for nursing, teaching and childcare, I don't agree that the same is true for PR, which provides an industry for men and women that is interesting, stimulating, highly-skilled and well-remunerated.
From my own experience, as PRincipal of Publicity Queen, I have deliberately sought out and incorporated into my team talented, intelligent women and I celebrate the contribution they have made and continue to make to my business and to the clients whom they represent.
Applause also must go to the National President of the Public Relations Institute of Australia Nick Turner, (who is a man, did anyone notice?) who in response to this week's reporting said any suggestion that corporate affairs teams made up of only women may not be taken as seriously as a male team was "offensive – to females and males" and was "1900s thinking". Bravo! Couldn't have said it better myself.
Even if we accept the statistics that suggest that PR does have a preponderance of women working within in it, let's own this fact and be proud; and rather than a 'ghetto', let's celebrate the pink powerhouse, the pink presidential suite or even the pink corner office! There's nowhere else I'd rather be.

THE arrest of Radovan Karadzic shows that good politics can win. The arrival of the principled pro-European Boris Tadic as Serbia's president with a working majority in the Serbian parliament appears to have opened the way to a new vigorous approach by Serb police and security agents.
No-one can doubt the importance of arresting Karadzic. Together with his accomplice, Ratko Mladic – the military brawn to Karadzic's warped political brain – they stand accused of the worst crime against humanity in post-war European history.
In the summer of 1995, up to 8,000 unarmed men were taken away and shot after the failure of the United Nations, with the complicity of the appeasement policies of the then British government, to tackle the Serb military as they surged into the harmless Muslim town of Srebrenica in Bosnia.
To put the massacre in perspective, the world remembers with horror the Nazis' killings at Lidice or the massacre by the Das Reich division at Oradour-sur-Glane in France. But the total number of people killed by the Nazis in those two atrocities amounted to less than a quarter of those murdered by the Karadzic-Mladic killing machine at Srebrenica.
For four years as Minister charged with the Balkans policy,
I travelled to Belgrade to urge the post-Milosevic government to hunt down Karadzic and Mladic.
I was told not to be obsessive and that it was impossible to find Karadzic, who was hiding outside the reach of the Belgrade authorities in the Serb part of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Mladic was reported to be seen in Belgrade and his family were still receiving his military salary and pension. So now Karadzic has been found and taken without resistance, it is time Mladic too is detained. Both men should be sent to the Hague.
International justice can work and if Barack Obama does become President of the United States, one of his first symbolic actions should be to signal America's adherence to the International Criminal Court.
The clear political winner in this is President Tadic, who has taken a principled stand within Serbia in urging his fellow citizens to accept what happened in the Milosevic era was a terrible stain on Serbia's honour and history. He was viciously attacked by nationalists inside Serbia and their fellow-travellers in the west, including those journalists and intellectuals in London who see the intervention to destroy Milosevic's murder machine as an unacceptable example of liberal interventionism.
The last time I spoke to Tadic was at the Socialist International congress in Belgrade earlier this month. Montenegrin and Bosniak politicians there were critical of Tadic entering into coalition with the left-over Serb socialists, once the party of Milosevic. But Tadic's judgment appears to have been correct. If Mladic is also detained, the chances of Serbia under Tadic bringing closure to the Milosevic era are good.
One major obstacle remains. Kosovo. The Serbs cannot accept that Kosovo is no longer theirs. Like the Germans who insist "Schlesien bliebt unser" – Silesia belong to us – Serbia insists that Kosovo remains part of Serbia. This delusion, at a time when dozens of countries from
Europe to Japan have recognised Kosovo as an independent nation-state, remains a blockage to Serbia's full-speed-ahead progress to European Union and even Nato status.
Russia is doing all it can to block a resolution of the Kosovo problem and has support from Spain. The latter's political position is curious. Spain, in effect, has lined up with the worst ultra-nationalist politicians in Belgrade, men whose politics are more reminiscent of falangism than modern European social democracy.
Karadzic and Mladic are closer in style, rhetoric and actions to the fascist terrorism of ETA and Spain should now take the opportunity of this development to rejoin mainstream EU foreign policy and recognise Kosovo.
Bit by bit, European policy has worked in the western Balkans. The Croatian war criminal, Ante Gotivina, is also in the Hague after years of denial by the Zagreb authorities that he could be found and transferred. When it was made clear that Gotovina in the Hague was a condition for Croatia to start EU membership negotiations, the Croats found Gotovina quickly enough.
I made myself unpopular in Zagreb by going on radio and television to demand Gotovina's arrest. The president of Croatia even travelled to see Tony Blair to complain that Britain was taking too hard a line. Downing Street officials urged me to ease off but I insisted that Britain should take a lead at EU meetings, saying Gotovina should be in the Hague.
Tadic now needs support, congratulations and private encouragement to find a way out of Belgrade's dead-end Kosovo posturing. If Gordon Brown gets bored with Southwold, a quick visit to the Balkans, where
British political-military prestige remains high would show
a senior European leader supporting democrats in the region.
A Brown visit would face down the growing Russian efforts to meddle and thwart the efforts to bring stability and progress in nations between Greece and Austria, between the Black and Adriatic seas.
Back in Britain, there may now be a case for an inquiry into the behaviour of British ministers and officials over the disastrous handling of the Balkans during the Milosevic years.
Some of them remain close to David Cameron and remain influential in Tory foreign policy thinking. Tadic and other Balkan leaders do not forget easily those in Whitehall and Westminster who did deals with Milosevic. Britain had to wait for the arrival of Tony Blair before clear judgment was applied on what needed to be done to defeat Balkans fascism.
In the meantime, as with the release of Ingrid Bettancourt, not all the news from afar is bad. Evil can be defeated.
Denis MacShane is MP for Rotherham and a former Minister for Europe.
