Val Cootes
A person always has that one teacher who has changed them in some way for the better, and Val Cootes did that for me - hard, staunch but also very understanding and encouraging.

For a mean old man of nearly 75 (on September 29), Jerry Lee Lewis continues to attract a fair amount of attention. Not only is his latest CD Mean Old Man hitting record shops, but apparently Brad Pitt is scheduled to portray The Killer in a biopic. The last one, featuring Dennis Quaid, back in 1989, was a bit of a disappointment, but it's a tribute to the old man's longevity that despite a life filled with controversy, booze and drugs he is still not only around, but in the headlines.
Jerry Lee's early years as a rock star and, some would say, child molester, are well documented. But for me he was one of the great rock and rollers, a southern white rebel and a victim of old fashioned prejudice when he was run out of town in England when he toured in 1958. It's great to see him still doing his thing after all these years. but I have a feeling that Brad Pitt's portayal will merely drag up an old story that is not worth the telling. I await it with interest, but some scepticism, if and when it happens.
Here's a clip of Jerry Lee in the US recently http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEaeEwu8OM8
And here's one of the recent stories about Brad Pitt's biopic, http://www.vintagevinylnews.com/2010/09/could-brad-pitt-be-next-jerry-lee-lewis.html
Here's Jerry Lee's Wikipedia entry for anyone sho still hasn't caught up with his eventful life:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Lee_Lewis

|Power and Federalism
|Friday, 10 August 2018 12:14
Manila — because of the consistent financial losses that is leading to its imminent demise, the Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Zamcelco) was provided by the National Electrification Administration (NEA) eight remedies of relief to save the coop from total financial collapse. One of the remedies was the contractualization of an Investment and Management Contract (IMC) that, if activated — hopefully by early September — will infuse fresh capital into Zamcelco and will make available managerial and technical expertise to SAVE a dying power utility.
Such an intervention will help Zamcelco regain financial, technical and operational balance within a reasonable period of time from the effective date of the contract — the principle goal of which is to ensure QUALITY, RELIABLE, REASONABLE and AFFORDABLE power supply for Zamboanga city.
Today at the Power Summit initiated by Mr. Celso L. Lobregat, the congressman-gentleman from the first district will try to dissect the importance of the IMC, point out the critical condition of Zamcelco and elucidate on the contract between a private investor and Zamcelco whereby the former will infuse capital to cover the payment of and provisions for certain obligations of Zamcelco, and manage and operate the coop for a performance-based fee.
The IMC will guarantee that our independent highly-urbanized federal city won't have abrupt, long blackouts because of technical and operational changes and rehabilitation to the system. We are in agreement that there is an immediate need to overhaul Zamcelco's financial, administrative and operational systems. Worn out power lines, rotting poles and overloaded transformers should be replaced to reduce part of the coop's tremendous system's loss, now hitting close to 25 percent.
With the power issue about to be resolved, Zamboanga politicians are now scoring for issues as they start firming up their campaign strategies for launching in October for next year's mid-term elections. You see, the Bangsamoro Organic Act is no longer a political issue since its signing into law last Monday. I surmise the attention will now focus on Zamboanga's looming power crisis. Thus, today's Power Summit.
Mr. Lobregat, Mr. Mannix Dalipe and Her Majesty the Mayor have trained their guns on the power issue. And after that's solved with the entry of an IMC, the next burning issue will be Federalism. I'm just curious to know the respective positions of the trio.
I have always maintained that the much touted federal system of government could be oppressive to the middle class and the poor. It will bring about financial catastrophe to the ordinary workers who would be made to pay higher taxes to help sustain and maintain a bureaucracy made up of 18 federated regions.
As the bureaucracy would be reorganized, this will require federal and regional independent governments to impose taxes on almost everything or resort to massive borrowings to run the federal regions. Even Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III, admitted that the country's credit ratings may be "downgraded" if El Presidente's administration "continues to press for the change on the form of government...due to uncertain economic and political outcomes."
The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) also warned that the shift could cost the administration additional expenses amounting to as much as P131-billion in the first year of transition. NEDA Secretary Ernesto Persia said during a Senate budget hearing on the proposed P3.757-trillion 2019 budget that the amount only constitutes the direct cost of running a federal type of government in the first year of its transition and "does not yet consider the indirect costs, such as possible disruption in the projects and the economy."
Mr. Dominguez, in the same hearing, expressed concern over the draft federal constitution, saying "it fails to address some financial concerns." He meant, I reckon, taxation. On the point of fiscal concern, there is nothing to gain on Federalism.

In more ways than shooting a perfect team score, the Grangeville Gun Club got off to a strong start on the opening day of the 62nd Camas Prairie Trapshooting Association 10-week shoot last Sunday, Jan. 11. Pictured is a squad of well-practiced handicap shooters. Not pictured are those among 56 singles shooters who shot perfect 25s: Rod Behler, Brian Lorentz, Bill Stolz, Neil Walstad, Brad Baker and Logan Schumacher. In Cottonwood, 24 shooters turned out, Cottonwood Gun Club Secretary Jean Spencer said. "It's not too late to sign up," Spencer added. "Come on out on Sunday and see what we are all about. Visitors are welcome. If you would like to find out more about this sport or just shoot a few rounds, we gladly help anyone who shows up." See Scorecard, 8B, for trapshooting results.

Youth Commission Makes Great Speeches - but Then Does Little Else
The United Nations declared 1985 to be the first International Year of the Youth.
In 1994, South Africa held its first democratic election. In 1996, we launched one of the most progressive constitutions in the world, including the Bill of Rights. In 1997, the South African National Youth Policy was adopted by cabinet.
In 1998, the National Youth Commission (NYC), supposedly the lead agency responsible for co-ordination of different government departments on youth matters and for ensuring that there is effective mainstreaming of youth policy in national development planning, adopted a National Youth Action Plan, aimed at implementing the National Youth Policy and identifying resources needed to implement the policy and set goals and indicators to measure progress.
Into the second decade of our democracy, 2004, the Western Cape Provincial Youth Commission was established to assist and support youth in our province (WCYC Act No 5, 2004).
The WCYC is supposed to provide a powerful lever to ensure the development of youth policies and programmes as a foundation for youth development in the province. It is also meant to provide a legislated platform for youth, as a sector to unite around issues of common concern as we struggle to make a difference in a landscape beset by geographical and other inequalities.
Despite such landmarks and progressive policy frameworks and plans, our current generation of young people faces more complex challenges than ever before, when dealing with issues of globalisation, information and communication technologies, HIV/Aids, conflict, disability and increasing unemployment and poverty.
Thirteen years into our democracy, youth in this province still do not have a platform where their united voices can be heard so that they can participate in the decision-making of the Western Cape, nor does it seem to be deemed necessary to engage and consult with youth about issues that affect their lives.
Thus during the week preceding Youth Day, a range of civil society youth organisations co-ordinated by Certificate for Youth Trainers (CYT) came together at Artscape to debate and dialogue around issues impacting on youth as a sector in the province and put forward recommendations, among others, to:
l Develop minimum standards and implementation guidelines for integrated youth development within the province;
l Perform a range of research activities strictly focusing on youth as a sector;
l Kick-start a process of dialogue and ongoing discussion between and among partner organisations;
l Streamline and co-ordinate current education programmes and campaigns;
l Manage and ensure access to information to youth located in communities; and
l Promote issues around youth development broadly in the province.
Would it not have been invaluable for the WCYC, the guardian of youth development in the province, to have participated in the above-mentioned discussions? A representative of the Youth Commission arrived only to deliver a political welcome and speech, and went off to (I suppose) organise another cultural event for June.
This begs the question: has our WCYC become a glorified events management company only concerned with celebrations once a year? And celebrating what? Our progressive policies we have in place? What about fulfilling its mandate as outlined in the WCYC Act 2004?
When looking at the list above and when I cast my eye over the different structures in our province, including the WCYC, I wonder what they are doing to improve or develop our youth as young people grappling, on a daily basis, with unbearable poverty, the high rate of unemployment, disability and HIV/Aids, all issues which cause the destruction of human life and impact negatively on the very fabric of our society.
My understanding of the Youth Commission is that it is a perfect tool to engage and start the notion of nation-building as we grapple with issues of identity of youth within our country. …

Cable TV channel urges viewers to "Stop the Georgia TV Tax!"
|Stop the Georgia TV Tax?
By Rita Van Fleet
As cable and dish television watchers scroll through the listings, a channel in the lineup is titled the "Stop the Georgia TV Tax!" The announcement reads: "The Georgia House of Representatives will vote in the next few days to put a new tax on your satellite TV. The House of Representatives would force you to pay a new tax every month for the satellite TV that you love. Georgia legislators hold the future of your TV bill in their hands! Call now and tell them to oppose HB 887 and stop the TV tax." A list of all the Georgia state representatives follows, including their phone numbers and areas they represent.
The announcement references the 2017-2018 Regular Session Georgia HB 887 Communications Services Tax Act. The stated purpose in the bill is to "facilitate and incentivize adequate and expanded broadband and other communications services throughout the state." The bill is a companion bill to Senator Steve Gooch's Senate bills SB 402-Achieving Connectivity Everywhere, One Step at a Time, an amendment to SB-232 which will allow the 42 Electric Membership Cooperatives to provide internet services and broadband to their customers, and also to the BILD ACT which will adopt "new laws pertaining to the use of pubic rights of ways."
According to State Senator Jack Hill of Reidsville, "Streaming services like Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video would be taxed to provide money to expand internet services in rural Georgia if H.B. 887 becomes law. All phone and TV services that aren't already taxed would be included. Oh yes, I almost forgot e-books and digital music also." The full text of the current bill is available here.

World Bike Polo ChampionshipsThis common-man's version of the Sport of Kings allegedly originated in Ireland as the brain-child of one Richard Mecredi in 1891, where it was played on The Scalp, outside Dublin. Bicycle Polo quickly spread to England, and the continent, and in 1897, the first club was started in the United States. In 1908 it was included in the Olympic games held in Shepherds Bush, London. The sport all but died out during the First World War, but enjoyed a rebirth during the 30s. It remains a popular sport in some areas.
The game of Bike Polo is a variation of the equestrian game with a bicycle being substituted for the polo pony.
Although not as glamorous as the equine variety, Bike Polo offers as much challenge and fun without the prohibitive price tag. Like horse polo, two teams contest the bicycle version. The simple objective for each team is to score a greater number of goals than its opponent within a specified amount of time. A game or match is made up of four ten-minute chukkars (a holdover from the equestrian game, it is the same as a quarter). There is a two-minute break between the first and second chukkar, and third and fourth chukkar and a ten-minute half time.
In this World Championships India beat Canada in the final with a score 8 to 7.

President Obama has scheduled an interview about his views on gay marriage for Wednesday afternoon, capping days of growing pressure to clarify his "evolving" position after Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. spoke out in support of such unions.
Mr. Obama is expected to sit down with ABC News' Robin Roberts at the White House for an interview that wasn't listed on his schedule earlier in the day. The interview comes a day after North Carolina voters approved a constitutional amendment defining marriage as a union only between a man and a woman, the 32nd state to approve such a measure.
The full interview is set to air Thursday on "Good Morning America," but some portions of it will be released Wednesday.
The White House said Mr. Obama was "disappointed" in the North Carolina vote, but didn't say anything about the president coming out in favor of gay marriage.
"President Obama has long believed that gay and lesbian couples deserve the same rights and legal protections as straight couples," the White House said.

If you want your kitty to join you on outdoor adventures, you first need to find him a harness that fits comfortably and teach him to walk on a leash. Leash walking won?셳 only come in handy when you?셱e on the trail, but also when you?셱e traveling or taking your cat to the vet. It?셲 also a great way for your kitty to get exercise, and it can alleviate boredom-related behavior problems. Plus, it can be alot of fun for both of you.
"Walking outside can be great fun for cats ??it gives them new things to see and sniff out," veterinarian Dr. Frank McMillan, director of animal well-being studies at Best Friends Animal Society, told Adventure Cats. "If the cat isn?셳 comfortable on walks, there are some great strollers (like the ones we use extensively at Best Friends) that allow cats to see and smell things they don?셳 get to in the house.
"Think of it like this: If you could ask your cat every morning when you both wake up what he or she looks forward to that day, it?셲 often difficult to think of what the indoor-only cat might say. But it?셲 easy to imagine the response of the cat who goes outside on a harness and leash: 'Our walk! Our walk!'"
Most cats can be trained to walk on a leash, but certain feline personalities are more accepting of new experiences like donning a harness and walking outdoors. The best time to introduce your cat to a harness is as a kitten because he?셪l be naturally more accepting of it; however, older cats can also learn to walk on a leash if you go about it the right way.
Introduce the harness
The key to getting your cat used to a harness is making it a positive experience ??and that means food. You can begin by leaving the harness by your cat?셲 food dish, or by simply holding out the harness so he can sniff it and then feeding him혻treats afterward.
New noises can be alarming to혻some cats, so practice snapping the harness together or undoing the Velcro to get your kitty accustomed to the new sounds.
Try it on
Now that your cat is aware of the harness, slip it on him, but don?셳 fasten it. Provide more treats as a distraction and to help your cat associate the harness with a positive experience.
?쏱ut the harness on right before mealtime, so that the dinner distracts him from the new sensation and keeps him from focusing on removing it,??Dr. Kat Miller, director of ASPCA anti-cruelty behavior research, told Adventure Cats. ?쏡o this several days in a row until he seems comfortable with it.??/p>
If your cat is comfortable at this step, you can fasten the harness and practice adjusting the fit. You should be able to fit one or two fingers beneath the harness ??but no more than that. Keep in mind that cats can back out of harness when they?셱e frightened, and you certainly don?셳 want your cat getting away from you outdoors.
Leave the harness on for a few minutes, and then provide another food reward. Do this for several days, paying attention to how your kitty reacts to the harness. If he혻seems comfortable in it, leave it on a bit longer, but if he gets upset, provide a food distraction and slip the harness off. Try again later with a better treat ??perhaps some yummy canned food or tuna ??and remove the harness sooner this time before your cat reacts negatively.
It's completely normal for cats to freeze up, refuse to walk or walk very strangely the first few times they're wearing a harness. Your cat has likely never experienced the sensation of something on his back before, so it's going to take some time to adjust to it.
Attach the leash
It may take several days or even weeks to get your cat comfortable in the harness, but once your kitty is used to putting it on and walking normally, it?셲 time to attach the leash.
Take your cat into a room where he?셲 not likely to snag his혻leash on furniture or anything else, and then attach the leash. You may want to let the leash drag behind him as you feed him treats and engage him with toys, but a dragging leash can be alarming for some kitties. If this is the case, it?셲 best to hold the leash and let your cat wander freely.
When your cat is comfortable with the feel of the leash, practice following him around your home, keeping the leash loose in your hand. Continue to provide plenty of treats and praise throughout this process.
Once you?셶e both had some practice with this, it?셲 time to try gently guiding your kitty. Apply a little pressure on the leash and call your cat to you. When he does, reward him with a treat. If you?셶e done some clicker training, you can also use a clicker to reinforce that he?셲 performed a desired behavior.
?쏽ou want to make sure he does not freak out when he feels pressure on the leash holding him back and that he doesn?셳 wriggle his way out, leaving you holding a leash and empty harness as he dashes off. Again, do this several days in a row,??Miller said.
Learn more about leash training ??including how to teach your cat to heel ??from certified animal trainer Mikkel Becker in the video below.
Going outside
If the most your cat has interacted with the outdoors has been through the window, it?셲 likely he?셲 going to be on high alert when you take him outside for the first time so take things slowly.
"Go slow. Mitigate their escape routes at first,"혻Craig Armstrong, Millie the climbing cat?셲 human, told Adventure Cats. "In the beginning, I'd take Millie to a tiny island in a pond at a local park. I only had to guard the bridge for her escape. This way she could explore outside safely but not get scared and bolt off and never be found."
But you don?셳 have to take your kitty far to help her get used to nature. You can start in your backyard ??and if it?셲 fenced in, that?셲 even better.
First, pick up your harnessed kitty and carry him outside to a quiet area free of people and other animals.
Stay beside him and let him decide when he?셲 ready to do a little exploring. Keep the leash loose and follow behind your cat, but don?셳 force him to venture farther than he?셲 ready.
"Until it?셲 clear that the cat is comfortable outside it?셲 a good idea to be prepared for a possible 'freaking out' episode if the cat becomes severely frightened," said Dr. McMillan. "This means to carry a heavy towel that can be used to quickly wrap up the panicked cat without becoming scratched or bitten and bringing the cat inside. The first few trips outside should be near the door that leads back inside with the door open. In becoming accustomed to the outside the cat should know the he or she can seek safety back inside anytime things become overwhelming. After a few trips this will no longer be necessary."
Keep in mind that walking a cat is different from walking a dog. While your cat may happily accompany you on long walks, he may prefer to simply sniff around your yard and doze in the sun. Other cats may hike for a little while and then nestle atop your backpack and let you do all the work.
Regardless, it?셲 important to pay attention to what your cat is comfortable doing; don't force him outside his comfort zone. Just like at home, your kitty is the one who?셲 calling the shots.
Additional leash-walking tips
Don?셳 let your leashed cat walk out the door on his own. Carry him outside every time.
?쏧 always recommend that pet parents carry their cat outdoors, rather than letting the cat walk outdoors on his own,??Miller said. ?쏷he reason is to reduce the tendency for door-dashing when the leash is not on: A cat who is used to walking out of his own accord when the leash is on probably will try to do that at other times as well.??/p>
Don?셳 put the harness on your cat when he?셲 pestering you for a walk.
?쏡on?셳 take your cat out when he is crying to go outside. Otherwise you?셪l be rewarding the crying behavior and you will be hearing a lot more of that in the future,??Miller said.
Never leave your cat outside unattended.
Don?셳 tie your cat's leash to something and leave him ??not even if you plan to walk away for only a minute. Your kitty could become tangled in the leash and injure himself, and he won?셳 be able to escape from any approaching wildlife.
In the video below, watch how cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy helped New York Times writer Stephanie Clifford teach her cat, Mac, to walk on a leash.
Before you take your cat outside, please familiarize yourself with these adventuring best practices.

After the passing of a bill to force Clover Moore out of her dual roles, I have some thoughts.
Clover Moore would make a good Mayor of Bellingen Shire or Lismore Shire. In one of those tree changer havens she could make herself right at home. She could pursue her City of Villages dream there without the laughter that followed her announcement of the Sydney 2030 plan which described ''CBD and Harbour'' as one of the ten ''villages''.
She could ban Tim-Tams with the widespread approval of the vegans in Nimbin. She could create bike lanes from village to village. She could hold an annual gay pride event in Lismore, without Fred Nile praying for rain.
She would even be able to take a keen interest in the coal seam gas debate, and would probably soon be known as a rural maverick like Bob Katter.
She could even live in a village.

The summer holidays are finally coming to an end and with that comes the end of the quieter roads across Sheffield.
Children will start returning to school from this Monday, September 4, meaning the return of the dreaded school run for parents and motorists alike.
New figures have shown that journeys on the UK's most popular roads could take more than three times longer than usual as the summer holidays end.
Traffic information supplier Inrix warned that roads will generally be busiest on Monday as holidaymakers capitalise on the last few days of the break while other people resume their commutes.
Inrix chief economist Dr Graham Cookson said: "All good things must come to an end. Sadly for most, the end of the summer holidays heralds a return to work, school and traffic.
"Holidaymakers hoping to make the most of the remaining few days should be aware that traffic will be worst on Monday afternoon and evening."
He added that the fastest way home may not be the shortest distance, and urged drivers to consider alternative routes.
The most significant delays as a proportion of traffic-free conditions are expected on the M25 clockwise from London Heathrow to Potters Bar, Hertfordshire.
Motorists travelling in and out of Sheffield on the M1 and M18 have been warned to expect heavier traffic on their journey but local roads are also expected to be busier.

WITH weekend predictions of about 34C on both Saturday (December 8) and Sunday, RSPCA ACT is sharing its tips to help keep pets cool in the heat. "Did you know that your pet can experience […]
Parton / Goodbye, good mornings
MARK PARTON ends his 16-year "ultra-marathon" on Canberra breakfast radio at 9am on December 18 when he steps down from 2CC. Will he miss the early mornings?
FOR 16 years I've helped to get Canberrans out of bed on the radio and now it's over.It's a little odd to end a long-term breakfast gig without scandal, without tears and without lawyers. I've worked full time in radio since I was 17. It's all I've known.
I started working at my local radio station, 6AM Northam as a casual announcer in 1983 before moving to Perth, regional Victoria, Launceston, Adelaide, Newcastle and Canberra.
Will I miss it?
Yeah, I think I will, but not for at least six months. For the next six months I look forward to feeling human again. Breakfast radio is like being the mother of three-month-old triplets who never get any older. It's been a 16-year ultra-marathon.
In the end it was the 2.45am alarm that ended my full time radio career. Sure, I'm a morning person, but a quarter to three isn't morning, it's night time!
In these last few weeks I've been counting down the days like a "lifer" counts down to his release day from prison.
When I finally made the call to quit there were so many factors that contributed to it. One of the biggest was my health and wellbeing.
Combining my radio role with my new marketing business PartonMe had seen me working most days from well before dawn till close to traditional knock off time. So many family things, so many relationship things and so many "me" things had just fallen by the wayside.
I'm quite a keen cyclist, but I think I've been on the bike twice in the last 12 months. I just haven't had the time. Most of the clothes in my wardrobe don't fit me as a consequence, and that's an annoyance, but if the situation were to continue I'm sure there would be much greater drawbacks.
My first regular workday after my radio career ends is December 21. I'm committed to riding the bike to my office in the city on that day… because I can. And to be disciplined and get on the bike at least three times a week from that point.
I'm committed to watching more movies, seeing more sunrises, climbing more hills, stealing more kisses and being unconscious much, much more.
In the past 18 months my work/life balance had become so lopsided that the "life" part never got a look in and it had to change.
I know there will come a time when I miss daily radio, but not anytime soon.

The government, your bank, your insurance company, and any other company you do business with will never ask you for personal information over the phone. Anyone who calls saying they are from any of these companies or organizations asking for personal information is not who they say they are. Hang up and report them to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
Also, you must remember if something is free, you do not have to pay for it. Don't give out your credit card information to hold or pay a shipping fee for a free prize. Don't give money over the phone to charities that contact you. If you want to give to a charity tell them you want to think it over, then find the number for the charity on your own and call. This way you know your money is indeed going to that specific charity.
If you are ever in doubt about someone offering you something over the phone, tell the salesperson to give you their contact information, and you will call them back once you've thought it over. A real salesperson will understand this and have no problem with it. If they push the sale and say it is a 'limited time offer' and you 'must buy now', just hang up the phone. It's not rude; it's safe.
You can reduce the number of telemarketer calls you receive by subscribing to caller identification, and not answering calls from numbers you don't recognize. If it is someone who needs to reach you, they will leave a message, and you can call them back.
There are five toll-free numbers in Canada that you may see on your caller identification; 1.800, 1.866, 1.877, 1.888 and 1.310 are all telemarketer numbers. If your caller identification shows one of these numbers calling you be aware that it is a telemarketer.
Remember. All 1.900 numbers charge you a fee as soon as you answer the phone, regardless of if they call you first. If you see a phone number beginning in 1.900 calling you, don't answer, or you will be charged immediately.
You can also register your number on the Do Not Call List--a free list that reduces the number of telemarketer calls you will receive.
Tips on Avoiding Telemarketing Fraud
- Sign up for Caller Identification, also called Call Display
- Register for the National Do Not Call List
- Remember you cannot win a contest that you did not enter
- Never give any personal information over the phone
- Be wary of "Limited Time Offers" or being told that you "Must Act Now!"
- The following are sets of toll-free numbers in Canada:
- 1.800

The Discourse of British and German Colonialism: Convergence and Competition (Queen Mary, University of London, England: 22-23 September 2018
This conference will explore the various connections and synergies between British and German colonialist discourses from the seventeenth century onwards. While it is known that similarities and differences exist in the British and German discourse traditions expressing colonialist ideology, this is an under-researched area in respect of historical texts. A discipline of historical discourse analysis is well-established for German political discourse but is not well-represented for similar English-language discourse and analysis of the primary texts of colonialist discourse tends to rely upon non-linguistic methods. Papers are invited from scholars working in the fields of historical discourse using the methods of Critical Linguistics, Historical Discourse Analysis, Conceptual History (German 'Begriffsgeschichte'), Literary Theory and Critical Metaphor Analysis. Source texts could include political, scientific and philosophical tracts, travel literature, autobiography and fiction. The study of images and of the modes of display of historical artefacts are also considered relevant constituents of discourse. The conference will mark the start of an innovative interdisciplinary project which will broaden the field of historical discourse analysis within the English-speaking world and allow comparison of British and German colonialist discourse. A major achievement of this future project would be to shed light upon the history of discursive strategies to be observed in modern discourses concerned with migration, race relations and post-colonial politics.
Please send abstracts of 200-250 words and no more than 10 references.
Deadline for abstracts: January 1st, 2018.

Chanel AW16
On Women's International Day, who better to pay homage to than Coco Chanel, a female entrepreneur who not only defined the fashion world but also made a profound impact on culture? Karl Lagerfeld did very right by Mme Chanel, presenting what can only be described as his strongest collection for the famed fashion house in years.
For extra brownie points, he kept show-goers happy with his democratic seating arrangements, whereby everyone sat on the front row. Nevertheless, there was a feeling of intimacy in the salon-style arrangement of seats, which also seems to be a trend this season – Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy and Hedi Slimane at Saint Laurent had similar ideas.
But there wasn't too long to muse over the seating situation before models criss-crossed the Grand Palais catwalk in midi-length skirts in either black and white tweed or gleaming metallics, cropped jackets festooned at the collar with bows, and raspberry skirt suits boasting denim inserts, all worn with either flat boots that were laced horizontally across the ankle or kitten-heeled loafers.
Novelty prints are nothing new in fashion, but we challenge anyone not to be charmed by the cat motifs printed on silk wide-leg trousers and glossy sweatshirts, modelled on Lagerfeld's now-famous feline, Choupette. Florals also appeared here as sketchy doodles.
Outerwear was as covetable as ever, with hooded, quilted parkas (modelled in pink by Kendall Jenner) and khaki macs falling to the ankle in trapeze shapes. For evening, meanwhile, there was myriad choice: sparkly lurex knit dresses, exquisite strapless numbers embroidered with pearls and sequins (look closely and you'll spot the interlocking 'C's on their tulle skirts) and black LBDs with bows adorning the hips. Finished off with layers of oversized pearls, they were timeless and elegant – just as Coco would have liked.
"Undoubtedly the best Chanel show in years; here the focus was not on the supermarket, airline or iceberg, but on the stunning collection. Classic slimmed-down skirt suits felt fresh and modern with shades of pink contrasting the house's signature black and white, yet the season's streetwear trend pervaded even here and thus we saw quilted jackets, trenches, and our favourite look of the season – the maxi coat – in street-worthy tweeds," said Helen David, Harrods Chief Merchant, of the show.

During my Sabbatical, I had the opportunity to take part in the Kirchentag in Stuttgart. The
Kirchentag is major event in the calendar of the German Protestant churches. Over 100,000
Christians come together over a period of five days to worship, to pray, to study the Bible, take part
in workshops, attend concerts and to demonstrate. The programme consisted of 500 pages and
more than 2000 events were laid on under the heading "that we might become wise" (Ps 90 vs 13).
Obviously it was only possible to take part in a small part of what was on offer. Some events were
very popular and crowds featured prominently outside the meeting places, with queues beginning
to form 2 hours beforehand!
Not only do notable theologians, popular musicians and artists take part, but also prominent politicians. I had the good fortune to gain entry to a forum where the German Foreign Minister, Kofi Annan, former General Secretary of the United Nations, and the Bishop of Leeds came together to discuss whether or not the world was spinning out of control, what our involvement in foreign politics should be, and the consideration that should be given to what happens when we withdraw that involvement, in the light of what is happening in Iraq and Syria.
But it is not just Christians who take part. In the Women's Forum, I listened to a Jew who is involved in campaigning for Jewish women to pray without restriction at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. There was the opportunity to engage also with Muslims in the Centre for Interreligiosity.
Around a coffee table, I entered into debate with others over the Israeli/Palestinian situation, hearing stories from young people who had spent a year volunteering in Jerusalem or Ramallah. I wanted to go to a forum about what reforms the EU perhaps needed - but the heat got the better of me.
I attended Bible studies led by John Bell of the Iona Community, Martin Schleske, a violin maker who reflects theologically on his work, and Brother Richard of the Taizß community. I thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a dance workshop - it's amazing how one can engage with other people without words, through touch, movement and looking into another's eyes.
I took time out to pray, in the Marienkirche, communally at 1pm in a short time of devotion led by my hosts and also individually at the prayer stations, with a justice and peace focus, which were available 24/7 for the duration of the Kirchentag. In the same church I went to a prayer concert where Brian Heasley from the 24/7 Prayer Movement based in Norwich preached a very inspiring sermon about how prayer should lead to action.
The International Centre, for Kirchentag visitors from abroad, was an opportunity to receive hospitality and to engage in conversation with Christians from all over the world and share our various experiences of church in our own situations.
One of the things that struck me was the freedom to wear one's faith on one's sleeve - or head, or shoulders, around one's waist or tied to a rucksack by means of the Kirchentag scarf. It was a very moving experience to stand alongside my brothers and sisters and speak the words of the creed in the opening service, publicly, in the middle of Stuttgart city centre. Sharing communion with 100,000 people, under blue skies and searing temperatures, in the closing service where a 4,000 strong brass band helped lead the worship, is something I shall never forget.
The next Kirchentag is in Berlin in 2017, which is the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. I already have the dates in my diary!

SuperProfs.com, an online platform for exam preparation run by Bengaluru-based tech startup Aurus Network, on Wednesday launched a mobile app that will enable students to connect with professors for competitive exams preparation.
The mobile app allows students to prepare for their exams anywhere, anytime, even on slow internet connections. Also, students can download the video lectures in the app on their phone and watch them online.
"The concept of mobile apps in exam preparation is still nascent in India, although with increasing smartphone penetration, the prospect to innovate in the $8-billion exam coaching market space is extensive. SuperProfs' mobile app could cater to over 50 million students in the country, who prepare for competitive exams every year," Piyush Agrawal, founder of SuperProfs.com, said in a release.
Founded in 2010 along with Sujeet Kumar, a BTech in computer sciences from IIT Kanpur, SuperProfs.com currently has more than 75,000 registered students and around 200 professors from across the country, teaching CA, CS, IIT-JEE, GATE etc.
"In less than four weeks of its beta launch on Google Play Store, we have seen more than 5,000 downloads of the mobile app. We expect to cross the 10,000 downloads mark in the next few weeks," Agrawal added.

American Flags around Grand Tower.
Made in the USA!
Exactly how did the American flag turn into what it is today?
Folding the American flag.
The U.S. flag is a strong symbol of American identification and also nationwide pride. Referred to as Old Glory, the U.S. flag has a colorful background and has gone through several changes since the very first main flag of 1777.
Today the American flag contains thirteen straight stripes, 7 red rotating with 6 white stripes. The stripes stand for the original 13 colonies; the stars represent the 50 states of the country. The colors of the flag are symbolic also: red represents strength as well as valor, white symbolizes pureness as well as virtue and blue represents vigilance, determination and justice. Nevertheless, the factor the Continental Congress initially picked the red, white, and also blue shades was not made clear in the resolution taking on the flag. Historians believe it was probably a color choice based on the British Union Jack, which had actually previously flown over the colonies.
In time, some have actually associated a little various meanings to the 3 shades, for instance, the color red symbolizing the bloodshed spilled to maintain our freedoms, however the essence of the initial meaning has actually been rather constant since 1782.
Just how did the American flag turn into what it is today?
It is so much more than the 3 shades or a "design". Consider the areas around the world that the American flag has flown, consider the transformation it has actually gone through throughout the decades on American land. It is genuinely humbling to consider all that was provided and also sacrificed to make sure that the American flag can fly easily throughout this country.
The flag that started with just 13 stars grew to 50 with the addition of other states to the Union. The number of stars on the flag slowly rose to its present number today in which a brand-new star would certainly be included in the blue field on the 4th of July after the day of each new state's admission.
The number of alternating straight red and also white stripes has remained at thirteen except from 1795 to 1818 when fifteen stripes showed up on the flag to note the admission of Kentucky and Vermont to the Union. In 1818, it was agreed that adding a stripe to the flag for each new state would not take place as it will certainly make the flag appear crowded and it would certainly make the flag unwieldy. It was agreed then that the flag would go back to including only thirteen stripes to stand for the original colonies.
The American flag is a sign not only of strength, valor, purity, virtue, vigilance, determination as well as justice; it is a sign of liberty. Liberty that has actually been battled so hard for over the decades. Freedom that has actually cost this nation and also the families within so much, and yet it is still a beacon to those desiring they had the freedom that the country has.
Folding up the American flag.
Typical flag rules recommends that prior to an American flag is stored or raised, its handlers must twice fold it in half lengthwise; after that (from the other end opposite heaven area) make a triangular fold, continuously fold it in triangles until the other end is reached. This makes a triangular "cushion" of the flag with just the blue starred area showing outside, and also it takes thirteen folds to generate: two lengthwise folds and eleven triangular ones.
The flag isn't really folded up in this way because each of the folds has a unique symbolic significance; the flag is folded in this manner since it offers a dignified ceremonial touch that differentiates folding a flag from folding an average item such as a bedsheet, as well as due to the fact that it results a visually pleasing, easy-to-handle shape. This thirteen-fold procedure was a typical method long before the production of a ritualistic assignation of "meaning" per of the steps.
A sophisticated flag folding event including these significances has since been designed for unique celebrations such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day. These connections are "genuine" in the sense that they imply something to individuals who participate in the ceremony, yet they are not the reason a flag is folded up in the conventional thirteen-step manner.
This is America and also its symbol is the American Flag. This respectable symbol has been shot at, burned, spit on and also stepped on, and yet she rises time and again. Even though many Americans near Illinois state happily fly the flag outside their homes and businesses each day, it is fitting that we, as a nation, have reserved one certain day annually to recognize our flag and to remember that it stands for the ideals as well as values that we must make every effort to maintain. May God honor America and also those who safeguard her.

"Our Family Serving Your Family Since 1948"
Sobering Automotive Centre Ltd. (initially known as Sobering Auto Electric Ltd.) is a family owned and operated automotive business that has been serving the motoring public since 1948. It was founded by John R. and Eileen Sobering as an automotive business specializing in the electrical and instrumentation needs of the industry. In 1971 John and Eileen's eldest son Don and daughter in law Joyce purchased the business and over the years expanded it to a full service automotive centre by including mechanical, auto body repair and paint and vehicle sales as licensed and bonded dealers. In 2006 Don and Joyces eldest son Jon and daughter in law Merna purchased the business and became the third generation owners to serve the automotive industry.
While maintaining the company's core competencies of past generations, they have moved the company forward into the complex environment of modern day vehicles. In addition, all technicians have kept abreast of current trends and requirements from basic to complex repairs to environmental concerns for full service mechanical and auto body repair. Our commitment doesn't stop here however, we continue to offer a wide range of vehicles as well as a dedicated sales force to help you realize your dream.
The one constants that has remained throughout each generation of ownership is the commitment to the highest level possible of customer satisfaction in terms of automotive needs, be it full service vehicle repair, or the meticulous detail adhered to in auto body work.

Community Involvement
Corporately the company has always played a role in giving back to the community. Since inception, one or more of the principles have been involved with and have served on several boards in a variety of community organizations being industry or community related. Another strong corporate value is in the training of its people. Employing apprentices to assist them in getting their Red Seal Certification as skilled technicians has been a long standing practice.

Examining Social Software in Teacher Education
This is article to me does a good job of presenting both the good and bad of social networking and the role it plays in education. The anecdote in the introduction of the article provides a major drawback of educators attempting to use sites like Facebook and Twitter because they are too closely associated with social networking and not so much for educational purposes. As a middle school teacher, I don't ever see myself using Facebook or Twitter or any other social networking site to communicate with my students for those very reasons. However, the article does point out the benefits of using blogs, wikis, etc. because it allows for immediate feedback to students and allows students to share ideas without having to always be face to face. I would consider using my own blog to post assignments and give feedback because I feel as though it would give me a little more control over what is posted.
Web. Library, and Teen Services 2.0:
This was a very interesting article. I really like the idea of making content more accessible and easier to understand for all parties involved, especially the community with a special emphasis on teens. For libraries to be able to take the feedback and ideas of those that it serves, the community and teens, and use this information to develop a more efficient and enticing system is awesome. However, I am skeptical that the powers that be will actually relinquish the control that they need to to make this happen. To me that is the single biggest obstacle in having this idea come to fruition.
Emerging Technologies Changing Public Library Service Delivery Models:
This article pretty much picks up where the above article ends. It details the need for libraries to keep up the current technological trends in order to stay relevant with their target audiences and customers. The failure of libraries to do this puts them at risk of becoming less and less useful. I like this article because it goes more in depth about what the current Internet trends when it comes to sharing information. The article details exactly how libraries can use blogs, wikis, rss feeds, podcasts and vodcasts to serve the public. I like this because it is a break from tradition in how it serves the public, without losing site of what it serves the public.

Bank investors typically use the price-to-book ratio to value banks. But this can sometimes be a mistake. Many banks are either now, or soon will be, trading beyond the benchmark of one times book value that investors prefer. This shouldn't stop you from investing in banks, however, because it fails to adequately capture return. As Fool contributor John Maxfield discusses in the following video, going forward, the best returns from bank stocks will likely come in the form of dividends. Consequently, the thing to watch for is both current yield and its potential for growth.

Gazette Reporter
NISKAYUNA — Aditya Kanakasabapathy sits in the garage of his family's home in Niskayuna, building a remote-controlled airplane while his brother, 7-year-old Niyanth, tapes cardboard boxes together to make a boat — always trying to be more like his big brother. Their mom, Sudharsana, makes snacks.
Aditya, who just started his freshman year at Niskayuna High School, often relaxes this way: surrounded by a pile of drill bits and plastic propellers, using a special heated tool to sear pieces of foam.
"This is an RC airplane that I'm building," he said. "I love things that fly, and I love building. Right now I'm fixing it from a crash."
This is Aditya's first RC airplane from scratch. He's played with boxed ones and assembled them based on the instructions, but it's just not much of a challenge for the teen, who loves to create. For the plane he's building now, which is about 3 feet long and made of foam, he watched an instructional video on YouTube and went from there.
Aditya has always loved science, but he first fell in love with airplanes while waiting at JFK Airport for a flight to India, which his family visits about every other year to see relatives.
"This huge Boeing 747 was taking off," he said. "I'm like, 'Wait, how much does that weigh?' "
His dad, Siva, an electrical engineer at IBM, guessed it weighed about three tons, a figure that stunned Aditya into adopting a new hobby.
"After that I started researching how an airplane flies," he said. "What the wing is doing, it's actually splitting the air in half."
Unsurprisingly, Aditya is excited about the many science and engineering classes available at the high school. He loves biology as much as engineering, although he's not so sure about one of this year's main projects.
"There's going to be dissecting. Ick," he said. "I'm a vegetarian."
Three-dimensional drawing and electronics classes also light up his face.
"We actually have a lot of choices," he said. So far, the only thing that's been intimidating about high school is navigating the hallways, which are much larger and more circuitous than those at Van Antwerp Middle School.
Aditya even hopes to get into student government. He helped lead an anti-bullying initiative at his middle school as part of student council, and can't wait to be old enough to run for class office in the high school, where freshmen aren't eligible.
For an involved student like Aditya, it's tough to reconcile with the fact that in other parts of the world, some kids don't have the same opportunities for education — or any opportunities at all, in some cases. That's why Aditya became involved with the All India Movement for Seva, a community development program in India that provides boarding schools and scholarships for rural and tribal children who might otherwise face impossible roadblocks to education.
Always ready to spring to action for a good cause, Aditya started a bottle drive for the program several years ago. He was inspired to collect bottles after his mom told him about a TV show she had seen where a young girl raised money the same way for a charity she loved.
Aditya started raising funds for AIM for Seva by gathering the cans and bottles his own family used, but he's since expanded his project.
"Right now every Sunday I go around to the neighbors and knock on their doors," he said. If they've used any bottles or cans during the week, they gladly hand them over.
Last year, in eighth grade, he started a contest at his school between each grade level. The grade that brought in the most cans and bottles won — his class took the prize. But the real winner was AIM for Seva, because the haul brought in $50 in bottle and can deposits, the equivalent of 1,000 items collected.
Not counting the ones still piled in the family's garage, Aditya has raised about $111 with bottles so far. He also secured a matching donation from a family friend.
Aditya's bottle collection has gone from a one-kid effort to a family project, and then turned into a community initiative. Of course, Niyanth pitches in extra, too, because his big brother is his role model.
"He helps a lot," Aditya said, smiling.
If you'd also like to help, Aditya can be reached by email at email@example.com.

Tsaranoro Atsimo, new route in 2004. The Tsaranoro Massif is now well known and attracts climbers from all over the world, because of its beautiful summits and walls of excellent compact granite. An hour on a jeep from the last village of Ambalavao will take you to Camp Catta, a permanent camp facility below the walls. We visited the region from September 23 to October 20, 2004 and over four days climbed a new route, Avana (Rainbow) on the east face of Tsaranoro Atsimo. We used fixed rope and found it impossible to place natural protection. We placed 10mm stainless steel bolts: 84 for protection and 20 at belays. All you need is two 60m ropes and quickdraws. The height of the route is 530m, with difficulties of 7a+ (7a obl). Pitch grades are as follows: (1) 6a, (2) 6a, (3) 6c, (4) 6c, (5) 6b, (6) 7a+, (7) 6c+, (8) 7a+, (9) 7a+, and (10) 6b+.
