Burnett's forgotten WWII history
More than 70 years on, tales of Monto's forgotten WWII history are still being told.
During the war 1500 Italian soldiers captured in the north African desert were sent to work on Queensland farms.
Of those prisoners, 142 were assigned to Q9 Prisoner of War Control Centre Monto.
Sadly, few Queenslanders are aware of this chapter in our wartime history.
Warren Dowling was only six-years-old, but remembers clearly the day Vincenzo Pace and Nicola Morelli came to work at his family's Three Moon property.
Almost three-quarters of a century later, Mr Dowling and his wife are still there.
"The war finished in '45 and as time goes on the new generations forget," Mr Dowling said.
"They were good workers. It was a dairy and lucerne farm in those days and without modern machinery we needed a fair bit of manpower.
"They didn't want to fight. It wasn't their war and they were happy to surrender."
Life in outback Queensland was a far cry from the barbed-wire fences and confinement of the Cowra internment camp, or the battlefields of northern Africa and Europe from which they had come.
The Government's plan was to bolster the workforce on farms in response to the shortage caused by local labourers enlisting.
The Italians, for the most part, shared a good relationship with their captors.
They were provided with appropriate living quarters and the farmers treated them well.
They were fascinated by Kookaburras - which they called 'ha-ha pigeons' - and wondered out loud why Australians didn't eat the delicious-looking birds.
As Mr Dowling recalls, they were great with kids, often taking him and his siblings duck shooting.
A practice he later learned was strictly forbidden. It wasn't advised to give prisoners of war a loaded gun.
"We had one cranky fella who was uncooperative but the army came and took him away," he said.
"There were no problems with the others, their only complaint was the Aussies had taken their watches and wallets - the spoils of war.
"The Dunne family lived with us then, whose wife was also Italian.
"Pace and Morelli were very happy when she cooked spaghetti, they didn't much like my mother's cooking."
It was the work of a former North Queensland history teacher that shed new light on this remarkable history.
Joanne Tapiolas began digging through the archives as a passion project and, despite very few official records, has uncovered and documented almost all the Italian prisoners of war to come through Queensland.
The accounts of many of these prisoners, farmers, and their families are told in her book Walking in their Boots.
"There was little documented evidence of this period in time. Rural life was very insular during the 1940's and memories fade," Mrs Tapiolas said.
"Most of the prisoners were sick of fighting Mussolini's war.
"They weren't happy they weren't home, but they were pleased to no longer be fighting."
With the Monto depot established in August 1944, it was little more than a year before the war ended and the Italians were sent home.
Many of them so enjoyed the Australian lifestyle and opportunities on offer in the bush that they chose to stay, or returned later in life.
"Morelli wrote asking us to sponsor him to emigrate back here. He eventually returned to live in Victoria," Mr Dowling said.

This article originally appeared on the P&WC Airtime Blog.
Our expert shares 5 oil maintenance best practices that will help give you a clear picture of your oil status and keep your engine performing optimally.
If your engine oil is at a level below the minimum, the oil supply during operation may be insufficient. Conversely, a level that exceeds the maximum may impede proper operation of the air/oil separator or breather, leading to possible bearing seal distress and loss of oil through the engine breather tube.
An oil level that's too high or too low could also result in oil pressure fluctuations, low-pressure indications and engine damage.
To perform engine oil system servicing effectively, you should continuously monitor your oil consumption. Careful monitoring will give you advance warning of abnormal oil consumption allowing you to carry out preventive troubleshooting.
For more accurate results, we recommend recording oil consumption data over at least 10 hours of accumulated flight time and plotting the data for oil consumption trend analysis. This will give you a more realistic portrait of your engine's functioning.
On a related note, be wary of oil level readings taken when the aircraft is parked on uneven ground, since they may not be accurate.
Aircraft attitude may affect engine oil level readings, especially in the case of helicopters, which land on all kinds of uneven surfaces. You shouldn't use readings taken when the aircraft is resting at an angle.ANDRÉ GALLANT, TRAINING SPECIALIST, FIELD SUPPORT OFFICE
Always check and service your engine oil system at the same time, based on the instructions in the engine maintenance manual. Typically, the designated time is around 15 to 30 minutes after shutdown. This is fundamental to obtaining reliable and accurate oil consumption trend data. If you wait longer than the indicated time to check the oil level, it may affect the readings, since hot oil in a still-warm engine has more volume than cold oil.
Checking the level as recommended by the engine maintenance manual can also help you identify issues. For instance, if you checked the oil level shortly after shutdown, then come back the next morning and notice that it's notably lower, internal static oil transfer may have occurred overnight.
In a situation like this, do not simply refill the oil tank. If you do, there may be too much oil in the system and it could overflow via the engine breather. Perform troubleshooting instead to resolve the matter. On a PT6A engine, the cause could be a leaky oil filter check valve.
Likewise, you should always service your oil system to the same level. If you fill the oil tank to the maximum one day and to the minimum the next, it could skew your data. No matter what the oil level indicator configuration is, we recommend always servicing your engine oil system to a level somewhere between the minimum and maximum.
If you keep your oil levels at the maximum all the time, it could increase your oil consumption rate, since some oil has a tendency to exit through the engine breather. This could even happen at one or two quarts below the maximum, so you should adjust accordingly and service the oil system to a level where consumption is acceptable.ANDRÉ GALLANT, TRAINING SPECIALIST, FIELD SUPPORT OFFICE
When topping up your engine oil tank, be sure to use an appropriate filling device such as a funnel or fluid servicing cart with the appropriate attachment. Using the wrong device could lead to spills and leakages, as well as an inaccurate oil usage recording.
You should also exercise caution when inter-mixing different brands or types of oil and always follow the recommendations in the applicable engine maintenance manual and oil service bulletin. When permitted, switching to another kind of oil might require additional maintenance, such as oil analysis and filter inspection, paying attention to carbon deposits. As different oils may have different properties. And in some situations, such as engines that have accumulated a lot of hours, switching oil type may be prohibited.
The best thing you can do is to stick with the same brand and type of oil. If you have to change, always check the applicable engine maintenance manual and oil service bulletin first to see whether you can and what oil brands and types are acceptable.ANDRÉ GALLANT, TRAINING SPECIALIST, FIELD SUPPORT OFFICE
Putting these handy tips into practice while also following the standard procedures in your maintenance manual will allow you to maintain a normal main oil pressure during engine oil system servicing.
With the help of P&WC's new Oil Analysis Technology –which is 100 times more sensitive than other oil monitoring technologies on the market –your engine oil can also provide you with insights into the health of bearings, gears, carbon seals and other engine parts. By analyzing data taken from periodically collected oil samples, this technology monitors engine health on wing and supports predictive and preventive maintenance without intrusive inspections.

July 20, 2021, was a date nobody would ever forget. It was the day Earth made contact with intelligent beings from another planet. They were human, from the planet Outland. They came because citizens in a private space yacht found one of Earth's deep space probes, the "Voyager." It had been launched from Earth in 2002, and its mission was to study Charon, the Moon of Pluto. After this, it sped out of the solar system with the hope that one day some intelligent beings would find it. And that was precisely what happened.
When the large delegation from Outland came to Earth, representatives from all nations on Earth descended on the United Nations building in New York. Earth found out that there were hundreds of planets with intelligent beings within two hundred light years.

Bell peppers are members of the nightshades family, not hot and come in many colors: green, orange, yellow, red, purple, brown, even black. Red, yellow and orange bell peppers are considered sweeter. Bells join onions and celery as members of the aromatic holy trinity.
There are countless ways to use bell peppers in cooking. Eaten raw or cooked, they are a favorite tag along in American cooking. Some people serve green peppers and fresh pineapples fresh from the grill, others make sure green peppers are in their black beans and rice, and some stuff them with a meat and rice mixture. Roasted and skinned red bell peppers, are also called pimentos.
Bell peppers were cultivated as far back as 9000 years ago in South and Central America. Later European colonists used them, and through this connection, they eventually made their way back into Europe.
The top three producers today of bell peppers are China, Mexico and the U.S., in that order.
Bell peppers are rich in viamins C and B6.
Choose peppers which are free of bruises, firm, tight skin, heavy for their size and with a green stem. They should be stored, unwashed, in crisper drawer and wrapped in damp, paper towel. They will keep for approximately ten days.
Roasting your own pimento red peppers: Place on top rack in oven under broiler for about ten minutes. When nicely blackened, use tongs to turn them for another red side up. Once all sides are blackened, quickly place peppers into bowl and cover tightly. After about 30 minutes, hold them under running water and slide the burned skins off. Now the peppers are ready to use in various dishes.
- Salads
- Soups and stews
- Sandwiches
- Eggs
- Stand alone vegetable
- Crudités
- Casseroles
- Slaw
- Eggs
- Stir-frys

Zillow Offers continues to make headlines as Inman features the program roll-out in the Denver real estate market:
Zillow launched the program to give consumers more control and certainty when selling their home, the company said in a release. An estimated 61 percent of sellers are buying a new home at the same time as they list their old one, according to Zillow's research.
"Rising inventory can make the timing of a sale more uncertain, making Zillow Offers even more desirable," Wacksman added. "Zillow Offers aims to alleviate some of that stress, giving sellers the ability to customize their selling experience, and we can't wait to get started today in Denver."
That said, Zillow stock has taken some hits since first unveiling Zillow Offers earlier this year and acquiring a mortgage lender (Mortgage Lenders of America), with investors nervous about the risks of the formerly digitally-focused media company acquiring and re-selling physical real estate. Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff has taken pains to express how Zillow is not a home-flipper (the company does not buy distressed homes or make hefty repairs).
Atlas Real Estate Group will represent Zillow as a buyer and seller in Denver. Zillow has not yet disclosed any of the commissions it pays the agents representing it but told Inman in the past that it's separately negotiated with each brokerage that represents their transaction.
"At Atlas, we have always been forward thinking; constantly evaluating opportunities, market trends and exploring new ways real estate can serve as a long-term investment vehicle," Jason Shepherd, co-founder of Atlas Real Estate Group, said in a release. "We are excited to use our entrepreneurial mindset in our partnership with Zillow Offers to help improve the consumer experience of buying and selling a home."
Shepherd called the program unique and said it solves a huge problem in the market right now.
"Homeowners want convenience and certainty when selling their home," said Shepherd. "We are always looking to add value at Atlas, and this not only adds value to our clients and consumers, but to the entire real estate industry, and that's a fun and exciting thing to be a part of."

Deville man pleads guilty to owning unregistered silencer
Jonathan Hayes, 32, of Deville pleaded guilty to possession of an unregistered firearm in U.S. District Court on April 16.
U.S. Attorney David C. Joseph said Hayes admitted to owning a silencer that had not been registered.
Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries agents arrested Hayes on June 1, 2016, in the Camp Beauregard Wildlife Management Area in Rapides Parish. He had a Ruger .22 caliber rifle, a Savage .22 caliber rifle and a firearm silencer.
The silencer, classified as a firearm under federal law, had no identification or serial number and was not registered in the National Firearms and Transfer Record.
Hayes will be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Dee D. Drell on June 20 and could face 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.
The ATF and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Dominic Rossetti prosecuted the case.

Deja vu for mayor as business body slams QLDC plan.
The influence of all community groups waxes and wanes but the Queenstown Chamber of Commerce star is in the ascendant right now.
Queenstown Lakes District Council could scarcely admit it but the business body's hard-hitting submission on the council's 10-year plan may have been the tipping point leading to last week's cancellation of QLDC's $37 million office block.
New council premises were inappropriate "in the current environment", the chamber submission said, accusing QLDC of "inconsistencies between various [council] plans, lack of further consultation, lack of transparency [and] the incurring of unnecessary costs".
If QLDC opted for the new building, it could expect calls for "a transparent process including actual leasing costs [for comparison], a cost-benefit analysis, full disclosure of alternative options and a public tender process", the chamber warned.
Faced with promised trench warfare, QLDC backed off.
Mayor Clive Geddes may find a certain irony in the 250-member chamber's new-found clout. He headed the business body as executive director for about 18 months from 2000, using the post as a springboard for his successful mayoralty bid later in 2001.
As now, the chamber under Geddes frequently criticised the council of former mayor Warren Cooper.
Geddes this week chuckled at the irony before resorting to well-honed diplomacy.
No, the business group's submission wasn't a total surprise, he says – Geddes and council boss Duncan Field regularly liaise with chamber chief Ann Lockhart and chairman Alastair Porter, although some aspects of their submission weren't foreshadowed.
"I don't have a problem with [the chamber's strong stance]," Geddes says.
People affected by council decisions should get the chance to have their say and the opportunity "to float ideas".
Three or four ideas from the chamber "are worthy of further consideration", the mayor adds.
Such as the "super-board" of businesspeople to run Destination Queenstown and QLDC quangos such as Lakes Leisure? "We'd need to know a lot more than is in the submission."
Among other things, QLDC was roundly criticised for:
- An "unsatisfactory timeframe" for consultation over the 10-year plan, just 20 working days
- "Discrepancies and/or difficulties" in identifying funding sources in the plan for certain projects
- A lack of "rigorous" cost-cutting in difficult times
- Using the "council-controlled organisation" model for quangos such as swimming pool and sportsfield quango LL
- Allowing LL to compete with private enterprise in setting up a new gym
QLDC will formally adopt the 10-year plan – with amendments – on Tuesday.

Offices & Dress
(based on 7 ratings in 2019)
"Offices are pleasant and meeting rooms are very nice but some buildings are quite old. The dress code is smart but fairly relaxed."Entry level, Ampthill, Bedford, Bedfordshire
"The offices I frequent are good with relaxed atmospheres."Graduate, Bedford
"We could do with more stationery and it could be better organised. Overall, the facilities are good with a canteen, Starbucks, corner shop, courtyards, Koi Pond and on-site gym. Buildings are all connected together but they are a bit of a walk. There's a nearby shopping park (ten-minute walk) with a Tesco, Burger King, McDonalds, M&S, Halfords and Next. The train station (with connections to London Waterloo) is a 15-minute walk. The dress code is up to the employee to decide but still needs to look presentable."Graduate, Havant
"The offices are mostly open and free and I really enjoy this format as it allows people to be open and communicate freely with each other, although others may prefer a cubicle-style layout. The dress code has very recently been relaxed at one of the business areas to allow individuals to wear anything they deem sensible."Graduate, Havant
"The office environment is good and I can easily talk to the relevant people in my department and have my individual desk space. The site is somewhat aging, though, and this can be seen by the decor in certain buildings. The dress code is smart with dress down on a Friday."Graduate, Ampthill
"The dress code is smart casual and you are able to dress down on Fridays. My office is new and the location is good."Mid level, Whiteley
"The offices are of a decent standard, although a little old due to the history of the site."Graduate, Bedford
"Our offices are clean and tidy, if dated. We're in a beautiful location and it's a great place to come to work. The dress code is mostly formal business wear but varies across the site and depending on your role."Graduate, Ampthill
"Some offices are very nice but the rest are in need of a bit of a refurbishment to make them look more modern, functionally though, they are all good."Graduate, Ampthill
"The dress code is business casual with dress down on Fridays. There is a canteen and a Starbucks with collaborative spaces, booths and sofas. We have ping pong tables outside and, for one or two days of the year when the weather is nice, there are tables to work on outside. There are also two small kitchens for preparing lunch and a Tescos and big retail park just a five-minute walk away."Graduate, Havant, UK
"The Ampthill offices are a little old and outdated, they could do with a refurb. The dress code is smart (shirt and trousers) with working Fridays being dress down."Graduate, Ampthill - Bedfordshire
"I work in Whiteley where the office is a new and really nice place to work. The dress code is smart formal and you can dress down when working on a Friday."Graduate, Whiteley
"Offices are good for the most part, our canteen could do with an upgrade though. The dress code is not a massive concern and working Fridays are dress down. The Ampthill location is mainly accessible by car but there is a bus stop right next to site."Graduate, Ampthill

You've probably heard people tell each other to put their best foot forward. It's a phrase that essentially means to set out on a new task with vigor and enthusiasm. But there's an unstated assumption here that might catch one by surprise. Have you ever really given much thought to what your best foot really is?
Most of us haven't because we haven't been faced with a need to. We just assume that our feet are sturdy enough to carry us through life. And this is even more true of the most athletic people. Someone who's used to running and jumping will usually depend on their feet like a well-tuned instrument. It's not an exaggeration to say that many of them take note of every individual muscle group in their foot at any given time.
People who practice Shaolin Wushu or gymnastics, for example, need to have precise control of their balance. And this means that they need to depend on their feet. But this really is only a extension of what everyone does. They're the extreme which mirrors the average. We all depend on our feet, and it quite literally throws us off balance when we can no longer do so. If one of our feet is injured than we're facing a pretty rough situation.
Again, one should look to the athletic extreme to get an idea of what this means for the rest of us. Imagine a gymnast who's ready for an amazing leap. She jumps, and then performs one more. And just as she lands, she hits an area of her foot that had been proving sore for a while. But she just hadn't felt she had time to have the pain checked out. She should have instead looked for local help. That way she would have saved time and her own health. You can search online for any foot sports injury treatment haymarket va
And because of that reluctance her foot gives out on her. The end result might well be a very long fall to the ground. A fall which could cause even more damage to other parts of her body. It's true that the average person won't have quite as much to worry about. But not as much to worry about is hardly the same as nothing.
We all face somewhat similar dangers if we suddenly lose our footing. And in some ways, it's even worse for the average person than it is for the athletic. If we lose our footing than we usually lack the carefully honed balance of an athlete. We have less chance of an extreme fall. But at the same time, we also have less chance of being able to transition into a controlled fall if needed.
And at the same time, we often underestimate ourselves. It's easy to assume that we're not athletic. But people who take their health seriously often enter into the level of athletic performance just by jogging or doing any other regular exercise. And this brings the same increased chance of injury as any other athlete. No matter whether one is athletic or sedentary though, it's important to get any injury treated before it has a chance to get worse.

Greenwich Time endorsement recap, 2018
The showdown for the governor's office has grabbed most of the attention in recent weeks, but the ballot will also include competition for is the U.S. House and Senate; state House and Senate; secretary of the state; state attorney general, treasurer and comptroller; and local probate judge and registrar of voters (see sample ballot at http://bit.ly/2P7fmVO).
We are not endorsing in every race, instead focusing on the most heated contests.
Along with sorting through the names, voters will get to weigh in on two questions at the side of the ballot.
The first question proposes to ensure all money in the Special Transportation Fund is used exclusively for public transit matters. We support the measure. "We long have supported a lockbox for the STF. Though the question is dryly worded, the consequences are essential" (Oct. 26, http://bit.ly/2F30O58 ).
Voters will also decide whether to amend the constitution to require a public hearing before state land is sold, traded or donated. We support this as well, as "an important buttress against any future proposal to sell off — or swap — land in which we all have an interest" (Nov. 1, http://bit.ly/2JCzTvF ).
We've bolded our choices in the premier races on the rest of the ballot:
Governor: "We believe Ned Lamont has the qualities — temperament and stature in the business community among them — to move Connecticut toward a more certain future." (Oct. 28 , http://bit.ly/2RwzE7M ).
Attorney General: "(William) Tong is well-versed on a myriad of matters, seasoned by eight years in the House, where he is chair of the Judiciary Committee. He can navigate the General Assembly as well as anyone, an asset for any attorney general." (Nov. 1, http://bit.ly/2zrqbr5).
U.S. Senator: "Connecticut needs a strong antidote to the Trump administration, someone who can accomplish meaningful bipartisan legislation in an otherwise divisive time. Chris Murphy is exactly right for Connecticut." (Nov. 1, http://bit.ly/2AK17h5).
U.S. Representative: "They disagree on health care, voting rights, immigration, guns and climate change. That makes this an easy choice for most voters. And for us. We endorse Jim Himes." (Nov. 2, http://bit.ly/2ztN0uu).
State Senate: The most closely watched race in town on Tuesday may be between veteran Republican incumbent Scott Frantz and Democratic newcomer Alexandra Bergstein, who has mounted a smart and aggressive campaign.
"The constituency work Frantz has reliably performed within the district counts for a lot, as do his efforts on behalf of our coastline and organic business growth. We are intrigued by the energy and intellect Bergstein would bring to the Senate, but we endorse Scott Frantz." (Oct. 30, http://bit.ly/2P96f71 ).
State House: Republican state Rep. Livvy Floren (District 149) is unopposed this year, but we continue to support her as as welcome voice of reason in the General Assembly. Her Republican colleagues, Fred Camillo (District 151) and Mike Bocchino (District 150), have drawn strong competition from newcomers Laura Kostin and Stephen Meskers, respectively. Either opponent would make history, as the Democrats have not sent a representative to Hartford in a century.
"All four candidates have advantages, and shortcomings, and we would feel comfortable sending any of them to Hartford. At this moment in time, though, we feel the best lineup of Greenwich representatives would be Floren, Bocchino and Kostin." (Oct. 31, http://bit.ly/2zp238D ).
Greenwich's electorate has tilted in recent years, with a reported 10,072 Democrats in town compared with 12,714 Republicans and 13,740 unaffiliated voters.
Of course, the only number that really counts is how many voters turn up at the polls on Tuesday. We hope you're among them.

text: cannabisnews.com: Crackdown Targets Marijuana Dispensaries Crackdown Targets Marijuana Dispensaries Posted by CN Staff on June 22, 2005 at 19:32:46 PT By Don Thompson, Associated Press Writer Source: Associated Press Sacramento -- Federal drug agents launched a wide-ranging crackdown on medical marijuana providers Wednesday, charging a husband and wife in Sacramento and raiding more than 20 San Francisco dispensaries.In San Francisco, drug agents conducted searches of three pot clubs and more than 20 homes and businesses, capping a more than two-year investigation into an alleged marijuana trafficking ring. Officials with the Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. attorney's office would not say how many people were arrested or give other details, pending a news conference Thursday.In Sacramento, Dr. Marion Fry, 48, and her husband, attorney Dale C. Schafer, 50, were arrested on a sealed indictment handed down a week ago. It charged them with conspiracy to grow and distribute marijuana between August 1999 and September 2001 from their storefront California Medical Research Center in Cool, a Sierra foothill community northeast of Sacramento."Marijuana was legal in this part of the United States until this month, so any attempt to hold them as serious criminals would have been, I think, inappropriate," said their attorney, Laurence Lichter. "They are charged with violating the old marijuana laws, which are now back in effect, and I'm hoping that the jury will see ... that Dr. Fry was acting as a physician."Law enforcement officials in Sacramento and San Francisco said the actions were unrelated and were part of independent, long-running investigations.Lichter, however, said he believed Wednesday's arrests and sweep may have been prompted by the U.S. Supreme Court's medical marijuana ruling two weeks ago. The high court said federal law prohibiting the sale and distribution of narcotics supersedes state medical marijuana laws.First Assistant U.S. Attorney Lawrence Brown in Sacramento said the Supreme Court ruling "lays to rest any question whether federal authorities have jurisdiction."California is one of 10 states that allow the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes.State Attorney General Bill Lockyer supports the state's medical marijuana law, but his Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement was involved in the San Francisco investigation, spokeswoman Teresa Schilling said."It's more than medical marijuana. This was an illegal marijuana operation," she said.Gordon Taylor, the assistant special agent in charge of the Sacramento DEA office, alleged that Fry and Schafer also crossed that line. The indictment states the couple was growing more than 100 plants during the period in question."They were taking their (medical) clients and turning them into their customer base" for illegal marijuana sales, Taylor said.Both were freed without posting bond after an initial court hearing Wednesday.That investigation has been pending since December 2000, when drug agents said they seized several United Parcel Service packages containing marijuana.In September 2001, the DEA seized 28 filing cabinets full of patient records from the Medical Research Center, which doubled as Fry's doctor's office. That raid triggered a legal battle over patient privacy.The DEA ended Fry's registration to dispense controlled substances in December 2002 based on the investigation, but no charges were filed until the indictments last week.Complete Title: Crackdown Targets Marijuana Dispensaries in Northern California Source: Associated Press (Wire)Author: Don Thompson, Associated Press WriterPublished: Wednesday, June 22, 2005Copyright: 2005 The Associated Press CannabisNews Medical Marijuana Archiveshttp://cannabisnews.com/news/list/medical.shtml Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help Comment #9 posted by jose melendez on June 23, 2005 at 02:23:50 PT entertainment, fraud and the law Law Enforcement Gets High Denying Reliefhttp://www.ontherecord.org/blog/"The Sunset Medicinal Resource Center dispensary at 445 Judah Avenue was also been raided.

"Thus, this all looks pretty rational," Fehr said. "People seem to trade off the expected satisfaction from punishing with the cost of punishing in quite a rational way."According to de Quervain, the study co-author, understanding the role of the prefrontal cortex in altruistic punishment may also help researchers better understand psychiatric disorders characterized by abnormal social behavior or addiction."Deficits in prefrontal cortical functioning may contribute to these psychopathologies by a disturbed ability to weigh beneficial against negative consequences of an action," he said. 2.)

At Brunswick Labs we adopted from the Folin-Ciocalteau method which was initially intended for the analysis of proteins taking advantage of the reagent's activity toward protein tyrosine (containing a phenol group) residue. Many years later, Singleton and co-workers extended this assay to the analysis of total phenols in wine. The FC-based assay gained popularity. The FC actually measures a sample's reducing capacity, but this is not reflected in the name "total phenolic" assay? Despite the undefined chemical nature of FC, the total phenols assay by FC is convenient, simple, and reproducible. As a result, a large body of data has been accumulated, and it has become a routine assay in studying phenolic antioxidants.

text: Richard Hunn (1949-2006), whilst on one of his annual visits to the UK (from his home in Kyoto, Japan), once commented to me that in the West, the shops are full of book-covers featuring smiling lamas grinning like Cheshire cats! He said that in the East Buddhism is simply not misrepresented in this manner, because it is taken very seriously as a method of self-development. You do not mock the medicine that makes you better by taking the p*ss out of its packaging. He went on to say that true self-cultivation involves a tremendous amount of suffering – that is if the practitioner is serious about purifying his or her mind by using this distinctly 'Eastern' method. Whereas in the West the subjects of modern psychology and psychiatry are interested in the 'measurable' and 'quantifying' content of the brain/mind that manifests through speech and behaviour, the Buddhism of the East by-passes this altogether. Why is this the case? – because the Buddha did not, and does not 'care' about the intricacies of the content of your mind as he has already declared it to be 'delusional' and 'suffering' inducing. The Buddha does not want to talk through your delusional conditioning because he sees this as just more delusion. The point of the Buddha's teaching is not that it makes you 'happy' in a one-sided sense, but rather that it enables you – as a practitioner – to take control of the machinations of your own mind, and transcend the polarity of the two major aspects of human suffering, namely shallow 'happiness' (smiling lama) and profound suffering (my suffering is really important and self-consuming). Buddhism in its real essence is in no way a 'comforter' of humanity in the sense that a religion, a good film, or a bag of decent chips are to the average ego. Buddhism is the a priori undermining of everything the ego holds dear, and this is why probably around 90% of what passes as 'Buddhism' in the West is not Buddhism at all, but merely the sophisticated 'modern' ego' doing what it does best – mimicking happiness and reality.

Quality is everything to us, as it means everything to you. Thank you for your continued support, and please share this update to correct those who need to be set right.
The full apology can be read below:
Apology issued by The Sun:
On 12 April 2017 we published an article from an agency recording concerns by a user of Myprotein shake powder after he found a dead mouse in a packet of it that the mouse had found its way into the powder during the production process.
Independent investigators have now looked into the case and proven that the mouse could not have entered the powder at any time during the production process.
We are happy to set the record straight and apologise to Myprotein.
The pathology report, completed by 'Ecolab Pest Elimination' confirmed that the foreign object was not present when leaving Myprotein's production facility. Our process includes industry leading food safety equipment, including X-ray machines which detect and reject 100% of products containing foreign items as small as 2.5mm.

Both parties could see Harle as DA
Five years ago, state District Judge Sid Harle got a less-than-friendly call from Bexar County District Attorney Susan Reed.
Reed had read a San Antonio Express-News column by Ken Rodriguez, suggesting that Harle might make a formidable Republican primary rival for Reed in 2010. Reed, in Harle's recollection, "accosted me on the phone about it," and said she merely wanted "one more term" in office.
Harle assured the brassy prosecutor that he had no plans to challenge her.
Well, the 2014 primary season is approaching, and Reed has made it clear that she once again plans to seek another term. (Reed said Thursday that she doesn't recall making the "one more term" pledge.) With bipartisan disenchantment building against the four-term DA, Harle finds himself being courted by Reed detractors in both major parties.
Democrats are urging the veteran judge to switch parties, while a group of Harle-friendly Republicans recently commissioned a poll to test Reed's political strength against a hypothetical field of GOP primary opponents (including Harle).
Harle said he hasn't made any decisions, but is simply doing "what all judges should do, which is listen." He isn't ready to shut the door on a possible party switch, but said, "I don't necessarily know that it would be in my best interest."
Party defections are always risky propositions, because you run the danger of alienating your old allies and encountering distrust from your new ones (e.g., Arlen Specter). But Harle might be uniquely positioned to skirt those concerns.
"He has such a following on both sides of the bar — prosecutors and defense attorneys, conservatives and liberals," said state District Judge Angus McGinty, a Republican who argues that Reed has stayed in office too long.
Harle has presided over the 226th District Court since 1988, and is routinely lauded by attorneys as a fair-minded judge who maintains firm control in the court without succumbing to judicial grandstanding.
In a 2005 survey sponsored by the San Antonio Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, Harle's overall performance received 98.94 percent approval, the highest among local judges.
Defense attorney Nico LaHood was the Democratic nominee for DA in 2010 and gave Reed the toughest political battle of her career, earning 46 percent of the vote despite having to swim against the tide of a Republican tsunami. LaHood said he's considering another DA run, but added that a Harle candidacy would thoroughly alter the calculus for him.
"I'm a fan of Sid Harle," LaHood said. "He's one of the most just and fair judges on the bench, and I think he'd be a wonderful DA. If he decided to run, I'd have to do some serious praying and thinking, because I'd be on his bandwagon."
Reed cuttingly described Harle as "a darling of defense attorneys" and said LaHood and persistent Reed critic Mike Cohen, an ex-prosecutor in Reed's office, are "part of (Harle's) inner circle." While she stopped short of saying that there was collusion between the three men to bring her down, the inference wasn't hard to detect.
Sources say the local push for Harle has been building over the last six months, and has intensified since Express-News columnist Brian Chasnoff examined allegations by Cohen that Reed showed favoritism to the son of state Sen. Carlos Uresti in a series of incidents that involved suspicions of drunk driving.
The issue of favoritism is one that has dogged Reed for years and local politicos view it as her Achilles Heel.
In 2008, her son was at the San Antonio International Airport with his friend Christopher Mueller when an airport screener detected a gun in Mueller's backpack. Reed's son called her, and the DA made a call to the magistrate's office, resulting in a reduced bond for Mueller and his quick release from jail. Mueller's case was turned over to a special prosecutor, who dismissed the case in 2010.
If Harle runs as a Democrat, other Democrats will likely clear the field for him. If he runs as a Republican, Democrats such as LaHood face a quandary: run, and possibly end up tangling with a candidate they like (Harle) in the general election; or stay out, and possibly give Reed a path to an easy general-election victory.
For Harle supporters, that's the lose-lose scenario.

Cosmetic dentistry, these days, sometimes combines science with fine art. This requires a craftsman's skill to make sure the tooth restoration is as attractive as it is durable. After all, your smile is too valuable to be spoiled by unnatural-looking dental veneers.
The goal of a cosmetic dentist should be to provide you with an attractive, natural-appearing smile. You have a wide array of choices, and a good cosmetic dentistry professional should be happy to review the possibilities with you. For example, porcelain onlays and inlays can return structural integrity to a broken tooth, while leaving it looking as good as (or possibly better than) the original.
This is especially apparent if you now have metal fillings or a gold tooth. Metal and gold, after all, are not normal components of teeth. There's a huge difference between gold or metal combination fillings and porcelain dental crowns that reflect the translucence of natural teeth. Plus, porcelain restorations are now as strong, or stronger, than your own teeth. Ask your cosmetic dentist to take before-and-after photos so you can see the difference for yourself.
Admittedly, these more natural-appearing restorations are also a little more expensive. And many dental insurance plans may not cover all of the cost for cosmetic dental work. But in terms of your appearance (and the self-confidence it boosts), there's no comparison.
With recent advances in cosmetic dental technology, what was once considered impossible can now be performed routinely. We now have the means and the know-how to treat such conditions as discolored, crooked, and missing teeth - often in one or two visits to a cosmetic dentist, and often without discomfort.
Porcelain veneers have now become a standard part of cosmetic dentistry. These veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front teeth. Using porcelain veneers, we can change the shape, color and length of your teeth in only two visits - instant orthodontics!
Dental bonding is a widely used phrase that describes how tooth-colored fillings are placed. Using dental bonding, we can eliminate discolored areas, fill in gaps, and also build back areas of gum recession.
Composite fillings (tooth-colored fillings) can now be placed in the back molar areas when tooth decay is detected. These fillings can be used instead of amalgam (silver) fillings and are virtually invisible. Dentists have fun placing composite fillings and patients like them, too.
Teeth whitening is a great treatment for generalized yellow or stained teeth. With custom-fabricated tooth bleaching trays, the bleaching procedure can be done at home at your own convenience. The process generally takes about four to six weeks and the results are very impressive.
With the treatment options available today, it's possible to have the smile you've always wanted. Let your dentist know if you're interested in learning more about these advances in cosmetic dentistry.

SA sports minister pays tribute to James Small
JOHANNESBURG – The SA minister of sport, arts and culture Nathi Mthethwa on Thursday paid tribute to the late Springbok legend James Small.
Small died on Thursday aged 50 from a suspected heart attack.
"James Small was not just a legend but one of those great players which their names will be written in our history of sports," said Mthethwa.
"He was one of those who were instrumental alongside the class of '95 in fostering social cohesion and nation-building. We would never forget the role that the 1995 Springboks Rugby team played in breaking down the racial boundaries and making us one nation with one objective.
"This class of 95 inclusive of James Small, stood alongside our former statesman 'Tata' Nelson Mandela and demonstrated the importance of sport in eradicating racism and discrimination.
"May the soul of this gentle giant repose peacefully and may his family and friends find comfort in all our prayers."

Adopting Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) in the EU has been saved
Adopting Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) in the EU
September 2016
Upcoming legislation from the European Commission
Upcoming legislative proposal: The European Commission has decided to integrate its planned review of the own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) framework with its upcoming legislative proposal on bank capital (dubbed "CRD5/CRR2") in order to make the substantial changes necessary to adopt Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) requirements in the EU. This would likely also involve some amendments to the BRRD and SRM Regulation. The legislative proposal is expected either in late 2016 or early 2017.
Combining TLAC and MREL: Under this approach, TLAC would be implemented as a Pillar 1 requirement, at least for G-SIBs, while MREL would remain as a Pillar 2 mechanism to set total loss-absorbency or to top-up TLAC (where applicable).
Setting the scope for TLAC: There is an open question around the scope of banks that will far under the TLAC Pillar 1 requirement. At a minimum, it will be applied to G-SIBs. Some consideration is being given to extending it (in full or in part) to D-SIBs or other systemically important banks, but no clear approach has yet emerged.
