At Castlebar Hill Richard Barenger in 1423 held c. 90 a. of copyhold, including 53 a. called Absdonsland, to which Simon Barenger was admitted in 1560. (fn. 1) Absdonsland, then 72 a., passed in turn to Anne Perrott and her son Thomas, who surrendered it in 1574 to Christopher Rythe, (fn. 2) by whom it was settled in 1585 on Joan Southcott, widow. (fn. 3) Edward More surrendered it in 1627 to his wife Philippa, who settled it in 1641 on his son John. (fn. 4) The estate was acquired from George and Rebecca Lamplowe by Sir William Bateman, the purchaser of other property in Ealing, in 1650 and descended in 1664 from Bateman's widow to his son Sir William, (fn. 5) whose youngest son Charles settled it on his son William in 1719. (fn. 6) It descended in turn to William Bateman (d. c. 1797) and his children William (d. 1820) and Mary Bateman (d. 1833), all three of them lunatics, (fn. 7) and included 160 a. in Ealing when it was disputed among Mary's heirs. (fn. 8) Francis Swinden bought out other claimants in 1854, with a view to leasing the estate for building. (fn. 9) The threestoreyed mansion, called Castlebar House or CASTLEBAR PARK in 1824, (fn. 10) stood on the south side of Castlebar Hill. First mentioned in 1641, (fn. 11) it was difficult to let by 1818 (fn. 12) and dilapidated in 1855, when Swinden allowed for its demolition in a lease. (fn. 13) Among tenants were Isabella Cunningham, countess of Glencairn (d. 1796), in 1806, (fn. 14) Lt.-Gen. Sir Frederick Augustus Wetherall (1754-1842) in 1818, and Sir Jonathan Miles in 1819. (fn. 15)
A forerunner of Castle Hill Lodge, north of Castlebar Hill, was sold by Charles Gould in 1763 to Capt. James Cusack. In 1764 it was acquired by John Scott, (fn. 16) who combined 5 freehold closes and 10 a. leased from the Isleworth charity trustees (fn. 17) to form an estate of c. 27 a. The house had been enlarged or rebuilt by c. 1773, (fn. 18) when the estate was bought by Francis Burdett. During the tenure of the Burdetts, Stebbing Shaw (1762-1802), topographer, was tutor there to the politician Sir Francis Burdett, Bt. (1770- 1844). (fn. 19) In 1791 the house was bought by Henry Beaufoy (d. 1795), who improved it and whose brother sold it in 1795 to Mrs. Maria FitzHerbert (1756-1837), (fn. 20) morganatic wife of the prince of Wales. (fn. 21) She sold it in 1801 to Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent (1767-1820), (fn. 22) who called it CASTLE HILL LODGE and commissioned improvements by Wyatt (fn. 23) but lived elsewhere from 1812. (fn. 24) After attempted sales in 1820 and 1827 the estate was bought in 1829 by Gen. Sir F. A. Wetherall, the duke's former aide-decamp. (fn. 25) The general's son, Adm. Frederick Augustus Wetherall (d. 1856), was succeeded by his son Frederick Henry Pakenham Wetherall, (fn. 26) the house being leased from 1856 to Henry Austin. (fn. 27) The property was called the Kent House estate in 1870, when F. H. P. Wetherall sold the house to Thomas Harrison and the rest of the land to Alfred Prest, Ebenezer J. Pearce, and Charles Jones, for building. (fn. 28) Some of the land was later bought by Harrison, who sold it in 1880 to the British Land Co. (fn. 29)
Two-storeyed and in the Grecian style, Castle Hill Lodge was long and low in 1816, when its principal, north, front featured an Ionic portico beneath a pediment. Lacking woodland and water, it was considered a pleasant but not a firstclass seat. (fn. 30) Fittings were sold in 1820 and further materials were removed in 1827. (fn. 31) No house apparently survived in 1840 but a new one had been built by 1845. (fn. 32) As Kent House it was still occupied by Henry Gibbons in 1890 and 1908, (fn. 33) becoming St. David's Home in 1918. (fn. 34)
Gen. Wetherall, tenant of the Batemans' seat until 1818, (fn. 35) in 1817 bought the lease and in 1824 the freehold of CASTLEBAR HOUSE, east of Castlebar Hill and newly built in 1790 when leased by John Wey to Richard Meux (d. 1813), brewer. (fn. 36) In 1840 Wetherall held c. 47 a. of freehold, copyhold, and leasehold, (fn. 37) including Castle Hill Lodge. The residue passed to his son Gen. Sir George Augustus Wetherall (1788- 1868), who devised it to his sons Maj.-Gen. Sir Edward Wetherall (d. 1869) and the Revd. A. W. Wetherall, the second of whom intended to sell it in 1870. (fn. 38) Castlebar House belonged to Mr. Bartholomew in 1897, when it was acquired as a Benedictine monastery. It was used as a girls' school successively by Visitation nuns, by nuns of the Holy Child Jesus 1901-10, and by Augustinian nuns 1912-15. In 1976 it was a Roman Catholic men's club and youth club. The principal front of the classical 18th-century house had faced the garden and only three bays had faced the road until c. 1830, when an extension by two bays gave an asymmetrical appearance. (fn. 39)
John Twyford settled three customary tenements and two crofts on his daughter Isabel and her husband Richard Hayward in 1456. (fn. 40) Their daughter Isabel married Thomas Clavell, who held most of the estate in 1492. (fn. 41) It descended to his grandson John Clavell, on whom his greatgrandmother Isabel Hayward settled a homestead and croft in 1518 (fn. 42) and whose coheirs in 1547 were his three sisters Agnes Alderton, later Hore, Elizabeth Cogges, and Alice, later wife of John Living. (fn. 43) Following Elizabeth's death without issue, her sisters sold the estate of c. 160 a. in 1584 to William, later Sir William, Fleetwood, recorder of London, (fn. 44) who in 1588 sold it to Edward Boteler, (fn. 45) who as Sir Edward Boteler of Birchanger (Essex), settled copyhold property on his son John and his wife Jane in 1608. (fn. 46) Probably it was the house and 156 a. called Botelers farm near Drayton Green and Drayton Lane, which they surrendered in 1610 to the lawyer John, later Sir John, Walter (1566-1630). (fn. 47) Sir John's youngest son David was admitted in 1635 (fn. 48) and lived in DRAYTON HOUSE at the north end of Drayton Green. (fn. 49) The estate descended to Sir William Walter, Bt. (d. 1694). In 1698, in accordance with his will, Botelers farm was settled on his second wife Mary and their son Robert, later Sir Robert (d. 1731). (fn. 50) It passed to John Mead, to his widow Jane, and then to his son John, whose grandson Grantham Mead, merchant of London, was admitted in 1712. (fn. 51) Mead surrendered Botelers farm in 1747 to King Gould, (fn. 52) who held at least 225 a. of copyhold and Pitshanger manor at his death in 1756. His son Charles (fn. 53) sold Botelers farm with Pitshanger to Thomas Gurnell in 1765 but retained land west of Northfield Avenue and a house at Little Ealing, (fn. 54) which may however have been Coldhall manor house and leased out. (fn. 55)
PLACE HOUSE, Little Ealing Lane, was reputedly sequestrated as recusants' property during the Interregnum (fn. 56) and had nine hearths in 1664. (fn. 57) It belonged to John Loving (d. 1693) and descended to his son and namesake, who successfully asserted his claim to a pew in Ealing church and his independence of Coldhall manor in 1693. (fn. 58) In 1729 Loving sold the house to Sir Richard Ellis, Bt. (d. 1742), (fn. 59) whose widow Sarah sold 33 a. of copyhold to King Gould before her marriage in 1745 to Sir Francis Dashwood, Bt., later Lord Le Despenser (d. 1781). (fn. 60) The Dashwoods either sold the house or let it on a 1,000-year lease in 1746 to Richard, later Sir Richard, Lyttelton, who in 1760 with his wife Rachel, dowager duchess of Bridgwater, assigned the lease to Francis Greville, Earl Brooke and earl of Warwick (d. 1773), (fn. 61) who assigned it in 1765 to Lord James Manners. (fn. 62) In 1765 and 1777 the tenant of at least part of the estate was the statesman Thomas Thynne, Viscount Weymouth and later marquess of Bath (1734-96). (fn. 63) Manners sold the estate in 1789 to Cuthbert Fisher, (fn. 64) whose widow was owner in 1811, when the estate had been renamed EALING PARK. (fn. 65) Mrs. Fisher was succeeded by 1824 by her husband's devisee Jacob Jeddere, who took the name Fisher (fn. 66) and had died by 1834. (fn. 67) In 1840 Ealing Park belonged to the surgeon William Lawrence, later a baronet (1783-1867), whose 89-a. estate lay mainly between Boston Road, Little Ealing Lane, and Ealing Road (fn. 68) and whose wife Louisa Trevor (d. 1855), a leading social figure, made the gardens. (fn. 69) After her death Ealing Park was leased by 1863 to J. Wainright, and then to James Budgett, before its sale by Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bt. (d. 1913). (fn. 70) Acquired in part in 1882 by the British Land Co., (fn. 71) much of the grounds had been built over by 1898, when the house was a convent of the Ladies of Nazareth; (fn. 72) by 1912 it was a convent of the Sisters of Charity. (fn. 73) Built in the late 18th century and soon extended, the house is two-storeyed and of nine bays, with a pedimented central projection and, on the east front, a single-storeyed Ionic colonnade. (fn. 74)
The ELM GROVE estate, earlier called Hicks on the Heath, lay on the west of Ealing common, of which it may once have been part. A copyhold toft and 20 a. of woodland called Hickes atte Hethe, late of Richard atte Hethe, were leased in 1458 to John Merryweather and others, who immediately assigned them to Thomas and Henry Frowyk. (fn. 75) The estate apparently descended with Gunnersbury until Henry Frowyk's death in 1520, when it reverted to the lord, who farmed it in 1520 to John Basset. (fn. 76) In 1578 Christopher Rythe held Hickes atte Hethe, which he surrendered in 1584 to Joan Southcott, with Abdonsland. (fn. 77) It belonged in 1613 to Edward More (fn. 78) and in 1667 to Thomas Talbot, (fn. 79) who surrendered it in 1670 to Sarah Baker of Holborn. (fn. 80) Robert Newdigate, admitted in 1677, (fn. 81) was succeeded in 1684 by Sir William Trumbull (1639-1716), Secretary of State, who leased it c. 1688 to the lawyer and politician Dr., later Sir Charles, Hedges (d. 1714) (fn. 82) and sold it in 1696 to Samuel Cox. (fn. 83) In 1721 the Hon. George Watson was owner or occupier, (fn. 84) between 1730 and 1753 it belonged to Charles Scholes, (fn. 85) and in 1764 William Turner surrendered it to Anne Cotesworth. (fn. 86) She surrendered it in 1769 to William Birch, (fn. 87) who had let it by 1777 to Dr. John Egerton, bishop of Durham (1721-87), to whom he surrendered it next year. (fn. 88) The bishop's son John Egerton sold it in 1787 to Frederick Augustus Barnard, (fn. 89) who sold it in 1795 to George Kinnaird, Lord Kinnaird (d. 1805). Kinnaird devised it to his wife Elizabeth (d. 1806), who devised it to their daughters, several of whom were minors. Under an Act of 1808 the estate, described as the mansion called Elm Grove and 35 a., was sold (fn. 90) to Spencer Perceval (1762-1812), prime minister, on whose assassination it was held by his widow Jane, who later married Sir Henry Carr. In 1821 the estate was settled on Lady Carr and her son Spencer Perceval (d. 1859), (fn. 91) and on Lady Carr's death in 1864 it passed to her daughter-in-law Anna Elizabeth Perceval, who enfranchised it. (fn. 92) The house was occupied by Dr. W. R. Vines as a boys' school c. 1861, (fn. 93) by the Revd. Charles Scott in 1864, (fn. 94) and by the Royal India Asylum 1870- 92. (fn. 95) After Leopold de Rothschild had bought the estate for building, Elm Grove was demolished in 1894. (fn. 96) The house, first mentioned in 1696, (fn. 97) was improved by Frederick Barnard (fn. 98) and was a large, plain, stuccoed building of three storeys and attics. (fn. 99)
From 1734 Thomas Barratt of Old Brentford (d. 1762) (fn. 100) was building up a substantial copyhold estate on both sides of Boston and Ealing roads, mainly from open field strips. In 1760 he settled some on his daughter Anne and her husband Thomas Edwards, later Sir Thomas Edwardes, Bt. (d. 1790), and by will dated 1760 left the rest to Anne and her issue. On Sir Thomas's death all descended to his daughter Ellen Hester Mary (d. 1836) (fn. 101) and in 1794 was settled on her and her husband John Thomas Hope. (fn. 102) In 1840 J. T. Hope held 155 a., mainly at Brentford but some north of Haven Green. (fn. 103) Part was enfranchised in 1849 and 1851, when the tenant for life was Frederick Hope. (fn. 104)
The adjoining houses and estates of EALING HOUSE and EALING GROVE, east of St. Mary's Road, originated in the freehold and copyhold capital messuage and house held in 1593 by Joan, widow of William Frost. (fn. 105) Following her marriage to Matthew Grey, Joan sold her estate in 1598 to Thomas Soame, (fn. 106) who was admitted in 1605 to the copyhold estate consisting of Crowchmans tenement, Cooper's homestead, and 55 a. (fn. 107) A second house already stood on an adjoining orchard by 1616, when a wall was erected around it, (fn. 108) suggesting, with later evidence, (fn. 109) that it was the future Ealing House and that Crowchmans was the future Ealing Grove. The two houses probably descended in the Soame family until the Interregnum, when they were divided.
Ealing House, already so called, and c. 40 a., including land leased from the rector, were sold in 1657 by John Wadlowe and other Londoners to Sir John Barkstead, (fn. 110) whose widow in 1663 surrendered the estate to Nicholas Bonfoy, merchant of London. (fn. 111) On the death of Bonfoy's widow, their son Hugh was admitted in 1691 and surrendered it to Richard Lascelles, goldsmith of London. (fn. 112) In 1715 William Kingsford and Joseph Denys sold the estate to the lawyer Sir James Montagu (1666-1723) (fn. 113) whose widow sold it in 1724 to Sir Thomas Gery, master in Chancery. (fn. 114) Gery's widow sold it to Nathaniel Oldham of Holborn, (fn. 115) who conveyed it in 1735 to Thomas Bale, (fn. 116) who sold it in 1747 to Hugh Bethel. Hugh's brother Alderman Slingsby Bethel was admitted in 1748 (fn. 117) and sold it in 1751 to Richard Coope, (fn. 118) who surrendered it in 1753 to Lt.-Gen. John Huske (1692?-1761). Huske, who died there, (fn. 119) devised it to William Adair, who devised it in 1780 to trustees. (fn. 120) In 1803 it was acquired for Anne, dowager countess of Galloway, who released it in 1813 to Col. Patrick Douglas. (fn. 121) He sold it in 1817, probably to Mason Gerard Streetford, (fn. 122) and in 1830 William Johnson surrendered it to his brother John (d. 1848), who devised it to his widow for sale. Bought in 1851 by Ambrose Brown of London and Robert Shorter of Ealing, (fn. 123) it belonged in 1860 to the Ragged School trust. (fn. 124) Ealing House had a gatehouse by 1657 and was of brick, containing two storeys with projecting mullioned windows and attics in a steeply pitched roof, in 1795, before alterations. (fn. 125)
Ealing Grove, formerly Crowchmans tenement, adjoined Ealing House to the north and Grove Road to the south. It was leased from 1608 to Sir William Fleetwood (fn. 126) and later to John Maynard. In 1657 Sir Thomas Soame and his eldest son Stephen surrendered it, another house, and 27 a. to Joseph and Sarah Wadlowe, who surrendered it in 1675 to Robert Welstead, goldsmith of London. (fn. 127) The soldier Richard Savage, Earl Rivers, lived at Ealing Grove for several years and died there in 1712, (fn. 128) leaving it to his illegitimate daughter Bessy, wife of Frederick Nassau de Zuylestein, earl of Rochford, owner in 1722. (fn. 129) Their son Richard Savage Nassau sold it in 1746, probably in trust for Sir Hildebrand Jacob. (fn. 130) Mary Swift and Amy Peters were admitted to the copyhold estate in 1750 and Capt. Edward Hughes, R.N., in 1754; Hughes and Charles Guild conveyed the estate in 1755 to Joseph Gulston, M.P. (d. 1766), (fn. 131) whose son Joseph (1744?-86), the collector, sold Ealing Grove to George Spencer, duke of Marlborough (d. 1817), in 1775. (fn. 132) It was bought from him by John Campbell, duke of Argyll (d. 1806), who sold it in 1791 to James Baillie (d. 1793). Baillie devised Ealing Grove to his wife Colin for life, but she immediately conveyed it to their eldest son Alexander. (fn. 133) The tenant from 1799 to 1802 was Edward Harley, earl of Oxford (d. 1848). (fn. 134) Under an Act of 1805 the estate, described as a mansion house and 64 a., (fn. 135) was sold by 1811 to Charles Wyatt, still the owner in 1845. (fn. 136) The house was converted into an Italianate villa, at great expense, by Joseph Gulston the younger (fn. 137) and c. 1800 was a three-storeyed classical mansion of nine bays, with a pedimented central projection, set among trees. (fn. 138)

I have to admit that after watching the film houseful last week "Badmaash Firm" film was easy on my mind. Of the top 50 box workplace grossing motion pictures of all time (2nd July 2014), thirteen of these films were produced by Warner Bros. Now that is a great consequence for 20th Century Fox nonetheless of the top 10 grossing movies of all time (2nd July 2014), only 1 of the films were produced by 20th Century Fox. The films are usually offered by the manufacturing houses that made them, so the digital files are generally the identical.

It's not surprising that the majority of offerings in Yonder Mountain String Band's recorded catalog are culled from live performances. A foremost proponent of the so-called "new grass" phenomenon (think the Dead or Phish), the band couples guitars with banjos, bouzouki, and mandolins to spur the communal enthusiasm. Investigate YMSB's last album, The Show, an opus coupling the frenzy of a concert with melodies that linger long after.
Now in its 12th year as an active ensemble, Yonder Mountain String Band regularly appears at the nation's major bluegrass gatherings, particularly in its native Colorado, where headline status is guaranteed. But the band has also courted a broader audience by tapping the talents of producer Tom Rothrock, who has worked with the Foo Fighters, Beck, and Elliott Smith. The experience is very down-home, from the back-porch arrangements and instrumentation to the band's own Boulder, Colorado-based Frog Pad Records imprint. Our advice? Opt for extremes — experience that down-home demeanor while indulging in a genuine Rocky Mountain high.

Sometimes our customers ask us to be able to print the webpages we build for them with specific styles, and most of the times you can get away with it by adding a separate css file that targets the print media. Rather straightforward.
What if the customer asks you to change print styles at runtime?
Well, it seems that this cannot be easily done, at least there is no official way of doing it: javascript doesn't allow you to change media specific styles, but only the global one.
This won't stop us: after banging my head against the wall for a while I came up with a simple yet effective trick: what if we programmatically change the text of a style tag with media attribute set to print? Will the browser see the change and apply it? Well, it seems so.
So, let's review a simple example that will allow us to choose the color of the printed page text according to the button we press.
Let's start from the page head tag:

Here we have the page content, the buttons and an empty style tag that specifically targets print media, which is left empty and will be populated with our custom styles at runtime.
Finally, the javascript:
$(function() {
var buttons = $('button');
var printStyle = $('#print');
var style;
buttons.click(function() {
style = 'p { color: ' + $(this).attr('class') + '};';
What happens here? When we click one of the buttons the code finds the color we want, it fills the empty style tag with the custom styles and then will open the browser integrated print interface. Simple yet effective.
The complete code can be seen in action in this fiddle.

Australia: The Land Where Time Began
Earth's longest continental Hotspot Track – Lithospheric Controls on Magma Composition
Hotspots are anomalous volcanic regions at the surface of the Earth that are not obviously associated with boundaries of tectonic plates. Included among the classic examples are the Hawaiian-Emperor chain and the Yellowstone-Snake River Plain province. It is believed the majority form as the tectonic plates of the Earth move over mantle plumes that are long-lived: buoyant upwellings that bring hot material from the deep mantle to the surface of the Earth (Morgan, 1971). That the rise height of plumes is limited by the thickness of the overlying lithosphere has been recognised for a long time (Davies, 1974; Farnetani & Richards, 1995; White & McKenzie, 1995) and, thereby, their minimum melting pressure. According to Davies et al. it should, therefore, have a controlling influence on the geochemistry of magmas that are plume-related, though there is so far a lack of evidence that is unambiguous for this. In this paper Davies et al. integrate observational constraints from surface geology, geochronology, reconstruction of plate motion, geochemistry and seismology to determine the depths at which the plume melts beneath the longest continental hotspot track, which is a 2,000 km track in eastern Australia displaying a record of volcanic activity between 33 Ma and 9 Ma (Cohen et al., 2008; Cohen at al., 2013), the Causgrove Track,. The analysis by Davies et al. highlights a strong correlation between lithospheric thickness and the composition of the magma along this track, with:
Samples collected along this track had trace element concentrations that support the suggestion that these compositional variations, which resulted from different degrees of partial melting, are controlled by the thickness of the overlying lithosphere. The first observational constraints obtained from the results of this study on the sub-continental depth of melting of mantle plumes, and provide direct evidence that the thickness of the lithosphere has a dominant influence on the volume and chemical composition of magmas that are derived from plumes.
Plate theory has been successful in describing how the lithosphere, the rigid outermost shell of the Earth, consists of a mosaic of segments moving and interacting across the surface of the Earth. It also accounts for most of volcanism on Earth, which is concentrated at plate boundaries. There is, however, an important class of volcanism which occurs within plates or across the boundaries of plates, which often form linear volcanic chains that are older in the direction of the plate motion. Most of these so-called hotspots are believed to mark the surface expression of mantle plumes that are upwelling (Morgan, 1994; Duncan & Richards, 1991).
There are about 50 hotspots that have been identified at the surface of the Earth (Steinberger, 2000; Courtillot, Davaille, Besse & Stock, 2003). Only about 20 % of these occur on continents and, therefore, most of the knowledge of mantle plumes has come from the tracks of hotspots in oceanic settings. Oceanic lithosphere is, however, regularly recycled into the mantle through subduction, so in order to understand volcanism that is related to plumes before about 200 Ma, which constitutes most of the geological record of the Earth (Campbell & Griffiths, 1992), it is necessary to learn;
1) How the plumes interact with the lithosphere of the continents; and
2) How the chemical composition and volume erupted of lavas at the surface is affected by this interaction.
In this paper Davies et al. first combined observational constraints from surface geology, geochronology and the histories of the motion of the plates to identify the longest continental hotspot track on Earth which is in eastern Australia. They subsequently integrated constraints from seismology and geochemistry to determine how the variations in regional thickness of the lithosphere influence the volume and composition of magmas that are derived from plumes along this track.
in Australia from the Cainozoic Era represents one of the most extensive intraplate volcanic regions of the Earth (Wellman & McDougall, 1974). There are 3 types of volcano that were identified in the classification of Wellman & McDougall (Wellman & McDougall, 1974), that is used widely, which was also adopted by Davies et al. in this paper:
1) Central volcanoes, which predominantly have a basaltic composition though they have felsic lava flows or intrusions, with lavas typically being produced from central vents, which often build large volcanic complexes;
2) Lava fields, which are basaltic, extensive and thin, and are often characterised by an abundance of small scoria, lava cones and maars;
3) The leucitite suite, dominated by low volume, leucitite-bearing lavas which are rich in potassium.
These classes of volcanoes are principally distinguished by petrology, with central volcanoes being distinguished from lava-field volcanoes by the presence of felsic rock, and both distinguished from leucitite suite by the absence of leucitite (Johnson (ed), 1989). However, there are also considerable differences in age trends in these classes: 40Ar-39Ar and K-Ar geochronological studies demonstrated that the central volcanoes and the leucitite suite both defines tracks that are age-progressive, becoming younger in the south. The tracks that have been identified so far include:
1) Comboyne – a track that is about 770 km long which extends from Fraser Island in Queensland to Comboyne in New South Wales, which displays a record of volcanic activity from about 32 Ma to 16 Ma;
2) Canobolas – a track that is 760 km long, that extends from Bunya in Queensland to Canobolas in New South Wales, which records volcanism from about 24 Ma to 12 Ma;
3) A track leading from Cape Hillsborough in Queensland to Buckland that records volcanism from about 34 Ma to 27 Ma; and
4) A track bearing leucitite that is about 65 km long that extends from Bokhara River in New South Wales to Causgrove in Victoria that displays a record of volcanic activity from about 17 Ma to 9 Ma.
It is widely believed that these tracks mark the passage of mantle plumes beneath the Australian Plane that is migrating to the north (Cohen et al., 2008; Cohen et al., 2013; Knesel, Cohen, Vasconcelos & Thiede, 2008; Southerland et al., 2012). On the other hand, lava field volcanoes do not show such a progression and are believed to be generated by an alternative process, with the model that is driven by age being suggested for the formation of the Newer Volcanic Province (NVP) (Davies & Rawlinson, 2014; King & Anderson, 1998).
It has been considered that the central volcanoes of central Queensland are not related to the leucitite suite of New South Wales and Victoria (Cohen et al., 2008; Cohen et al., 2013; Wellman & McDougal, 1974; Southerland et al., 2012; Ewart, Campbell & Menzies, 1988), mainly because the volcanic province that was identified in each have dramatically different compositions and eruptive volume, and they are separated by a volcanic gap of more than 650 km. It is suggested by their relative locations and ages, however, that they may be the surface expression of the same mantle plume, therefore constituting a single hotspot track. This hypothesis has been tested by predicting volcanic locations along this track, by the reconstruction of absolute motion of the Australian Plate (Torsvik, 2010). Specifically, Davies et al. mapped locations at 15 volcanic centres that had been dated by 40Ar-39Ar techniques, and predict their location that at that time were associated with the next volcanic centre that had been dated. The estimates of the uncertainty in predicted locations, which arises through a combination of:
1) Uncertainties in the diameter of the underlying mantle plume and the extent of the associated melt region (Farnetani & Richards, 1995; Leitch & Davies,2001);
2) The potential for drift of the plume (Courtillot et al., 2003; Tarduno et al., 2003; Davies & Davies, 2009);
3) The uncertainty that is introduced via preferential melt extraction pathways (Sleep, 1996); and
4) Uncertainties in the 40Ar-39Ar ages of volcanic centres that have been dated.
Begargo Hill of the leucitite suite, is the only volcanic centre that is consistently located further south than is predicted by the reconstruction of Davies et al. They speculate that this indicates either a rapid phase of motion of the plume to the south that exceeds 4 cm/yr from about 17 Ma to 15 Ma, a change in the pathway of the extraction melt, or a combination of both. It was noted by Davies et al. in support of that:
1) Variable migration of a plume have been observed elsewhere (Davies & Davies, 2009) and are also predicted in simulations of global mantle convection (Steinberger, 2008); and
2) Begargo Hill is located to the south of a region where the lithospheric thickness if thickened, which may focus sub-lithospheric plume material, as well as any associated melt, southwards, as a result of the rapid motion of the Australian continent to the north.
It is most notable, however, that the northernmost leucitite-bearing volcano satisfies the location criterion, which confirms that the central volcanoes of central Queensland and the leucitite suite of News South Wales and Victoria are the surface expression of a single mantle plume. Combined, they constitute the longest hotspot track on Earth, which is known as the Cosgrove Track. This then leads to further questions. Specifically, these volcanic centres are the surface expression of the same mantle plume, so why does the Cosgrove Track have so many gaps? What is the driver of the considerable variations in volume and chemical composition of magmas that are derived from the plume between the central volcanoes and the leucitite Suit? Are these 2 characteristics related? Davies et al. combined the observational constraints from the seismology and geochemistry to answer these fundamental questions.
First, they generated map of lithospheric thickness, combining constraints from recent 3-D body-wave tomography results (Davies & Rawlinson, 2014; 23) with the regional Australian Seismological reference Model (AsSREM) (Southerland et al., 2012). The main features that are evident in Fig. 1b of the Methods and extended data include:
1) The contrast between the lithosphere in the centre of Australia and the thinner lithosphere to the east, which is consistent with transition from Precambrian central Australia to Phanerozoic eastern Australia, and the oceanic lithosphere outboard of the margin of the continent;
2) A zone of thin lithosphere, which is bound to the east by a zone of lithosphere that is of intermediate thickness that is of similar width extending southwestwards from about 30oS through central New South Wales into northern Victoria (Davies & Rawlinson, 2014); and
3) Considerable changes in the thickness of the lithosphere over distances that are relatively short'
It is generally accepted that these lithospheric 'steps' will produce complex flows (Farrington, 2010) and, as previously noted, this resulted in a suggestion of a model that is edge-related for the formation of the NVP (Davies & Rawlinson, 2014; King & Anderson, 1998). Such edge-related mechanisms are probably also applicable to other areas of lava-field volcanism in the region, as it has been found that all lava-field volcanic provinces are adjacent to substantial steps in the thickness of the lithosphere, above lithosphere that is comparatively thin, and so providing a favourable setting (Davies & Rawlinson, 2014; King & Anderson, 1998).
The mechanism by which mantle plumes interact with these variations in the thickness of the lithosphere, specifically, how the variations in lithospheric thickness influence the volume and composition of magmas that are derived from plumes has remained poorly understood. Along the Cosgrove Track intriguing trends are evident:
1) Volcanic gaps occur in regions where the lithospheric thickness exceeds about 150 km;
2) The basaltic and felsic central volcanoes in central Queensland occur in regions of lithospheric thickness than about 110 km; and
3) Volcanism of low volume, leucite-bearing to the south in regions where the lithosphere is of intermediate thickness, with volcanic gaps within the leucitite suite, which also coincides with regions where the lithosphere is thicker.
It is suggested by these unambiguous trends that the thickness of overlying lithosphere dictates the volume and composition of magmas that are derived from plumes, by limiting the height the underlying plume rises to and, therefore, the degree of partial melting. Davies et al. infer that the underlying mantle plume:
1) Cannot rise to depths that are shallow enough to induce melting by decompression in regions where the thickness of the lithosphere exceeds about 150 km, therefore providing an explanation for the volcanic gaps along the Cosgrove Track, and places the first observational constraint on the maximum depth of melting of mantle plumes beneath continents (excluding ultra-volatile melts that form kimberlites and carbonates);
2) Undergoes a high degree of partial melting beneath lithosphere that is comparatively thin to produce basaltic and central volcanoes along the northern segment of the Cosgrove Track; and
3) Undergoes very low-degree partial melting in regions where the thickness of the lithosphere is intermediate, and therefore facilitating the production of leucitite-bearing volcanoes of low volume towards the southern end of the Cosgrove Track.
In order to determine whether or not these inferences are compatible with geomechanical observations, Davies et al. collated trace element data that had been published previously from outcrops along the Cosgrave Track (Ewart, Chappelle & Menzies, 1988; Paul, Hergt & Woodhead, 2005). This data set provided a basis for testing the hypothesis put forward by Davies et al., though this data set is limited, with only 8 data points, 4 obtained from the central volcanoes of central Queensland and 4 from the leucitite suite. Incompatible trace elements such as barium (Ba) are transferred into the melt preferentially, as the mantle material is subjected to partial melting. The concentrations of the incompatible elements are subsequently diluted as the degree of partial melting increases (Hofmann, 2003). Accordingly if the available trace-element data supported the inferences that were presented earlier by Davies et al., higher concentrations of incompatible trace-elements, when compared to the samples from the basaltic central volcano, would be displayed by leucitite-bearing volcanics. According to Davies et al. it is apparent that such trends are present in the trace-element concentrations plotted in their Fig. 2: barium concentrations are displayed by leucitite samples that are in excess of basaltic samples by a factor of about 3. The inferences by Davies et al. that the melt fraction along the Cosgrove Track is controlled by the thickness of the lithosphere, by which the rise height of plumes are limited, should also leave a signal that is discernible in the trace element concentrations illustrated in Fig. 2 of Davies et al. When melting occurs at greater depth, in the presence of garnet at higher concentrations (Ringwood, 1975), the heavy rare earth elements such as Lutetium (Lu), will be sequestered with respect of the middle rare earth elements such as gadolinium (Gd). Consequently, leucitite suite samples should display elevated Gd/Lu ratios of about 6, compared to about 2-3 for basalts of central Queensland. The hypothesis of Davies et al. therefore is supported by the trace element data that is available.
The question of why the basaltic and felsic volcanoes of central Queensland do not re-emerge to the south of Cosgrove, in a region where the lithosphere is comparatively thin, is an aspect of the Cosgrove Track that has not been addressed. Davies et al. suggest it is possible the underlying plume faded at about 8 Ma, as mantle plumes have finite lifetimes (Steinberger, 2000; Davies & Davies, 2009), though this would be an unlikely coincidence. Davies et al. speculate that an alternative mechanism is at play: it has been demonstrated previously (Davies & Rawlinson, 2014) that variations in the 3-D thickness of lithosphere, coupled with the rapid northwards drift to the north of the Australian plate, gives rise to a focused edge-driven convection cell to the west of the Cosgrove Track, near the NVP, which therefore provides a mechanism for the localisation of lava field volcanism to this region. An explanation for the onset of NVP volcanism, at about 5 Ma, has, however, remained elusive: The variations of the lithosphere thickness that drives the EDC in this region are probably long-lived (Rawlinson et al., 2014), which is not easy to reconcile with volcanism that is comparatively recent. The reconstructions by Davies et al., however, place the mantle plume that generated the Cosgrove hotspot track less than 50 km to the east of the NVP, from about 6.5 Ma to 5 Ma. It has been speculated by Davies et al. that the capture and entrainment of this plume, into an EDC cell that was existing previously, was the trigger for magmatism within the NVP and is an explanation for the lack of a hotspot track to the south of Cosgrove. It was noted by Davies et al. that in support of these ideas, that although EDC is expected to occur on all lithospheric steps, which includes those to the east of the predicted passage of the plume, in this region the dominant cell lies directly beneath the NVP (Davies & Rawlinson, 2014). According to Davies et al. it was to be expected that preferential westwards flow, and therefore entrainment of plume material, into the region of NVP, was evident in their previous model (Davies & Rawlinson, 2014). As far as Davies et al. knew the interaction between mantle plumes and EDC has been documented elsewhere. However, this process:
1) has important implications for the surface expression of mantle plumes in the vicinity of step changes in the thickness of the lithosphere; and
2) provides a solution to the global problem of why step changes in the thickness of the lithosphere, which occur along the edges of cratons as well as at passive margins, only produce volcanism at isolated locations, their study complements the previous study of Davies et al. (Davies & Rawlinson, 2014).
Davies et al. note, finally, that the present-day location of the mantle plume that generated the Cosgrove hotspot track lies to the northwest of Tasmania, coinciding with a region where there was recent seismicity and is at the western limit of the so called East Australian Plume System that had been previously imaged by the use to finite frequency tomography (Montelli, Nolet, Dahlen, 2006).

Risk appetite made a modest comeback to the markets during the morning London session, thanks to higher commodity prices, so the comdolls were in demand. The pound, meanwhile, was under pressure due to another round of polls that favored a Brexit.
Major Events/Reports:
More Brexit-related polls – Two major Brexit-related polls were released during the morning London session and both were favorable for the "leave" camp.
The first poll was conducted by YouGov and it showed that the "leave" camp had a 4-point lead versus the "remain" camp (45% leave vs. 41% remain, 11% undecided), which is a disappointment because the previous YouGov poll showed that the "remain" and the "leave" camp were neck and neck with 41% each.
The second poll was from ICM and it revealed that the "leave" camp had a 5-point advantage against the "remain" camp (48% leave vs. 43% remain, 9% undecided). In contrast, the previous ICM showed that the "remain" camp was in the lead (47% remain vs. 44% leave, 9% undecided).
Commodities rally – Commodities staged a broad rally during the morning London session, extending gains or reversing earlier losses from the Asian session.
The precious metal gold was up by 0.13% to $1,244.55 per troy ounce while silver was up by 0.40% to $16.430 per troy ounce. Meanwhile, the base metal copper was up by 0.85% to $2.131 per pound. As for oil benchmarks, U.S. crude oil was up by 1.13%t to $49.17 per barrel while Brent blend crude oil was up by 1.13% to $50.20 per barrel.
Market analysts attributed the broad-based rally to the severe Greenback weakness in the aftermath of last Friday's NFP report, since a weaker Greenback means that globally-traded commodities become relatively cheaper.
Modest appetite for risk – There were some signs of risk-taking during the morning London session, with the pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 up by 0.10% to 1,340.86, the blue-chip Euro Stoxx 50 up by 0.14% to 3,001.00, and the DAX up by 0.14% to 10,117.00.
U.S. equity futures were also modestly in the green, with the S&P 500 futures index up by 0.15% to 2,101.00 and the Nasdaq futures index up by 0.18% to 4,517.00.
Market analysts pointed out that mining and oil companies were leading European equities higher, so it's probably safe to say that the risk-on vibes during the session was due to the broad-based commodities rally.
Major Currency Movers:
Comdolls – Rising commodity prices and returning risk appetite gave the higher-yielding comdolls (AUD, CAD, NZD) a boost during the morning London session.
AUD/USD was up by 23 pips (+0.31%) to 0.7356, AUD/JPY was up by 28 pips (+0.36%) to 78.78
NZD/USD was up by 6 pips (+0.08%) to 0.6923, NZD/JPY was up by 11 pips (+0.15%) to 74.15
USD/CAD was up by 33 pips (-0.26%) to 1.2940, EUR/CAD was up by 35 pips (-0.24% ) to 1.4678
GBP – The pound started the session by climbing higher, likely because of profit-taking after last week's weakness, as well as the drop during the Asian session. However, pound pairs began backtracking as the morning London session progressed, likely because the market got swamped by another round of Brexit-related polls that were skewed towards the "leave" camp.
GBP/USD was up by 21 pips (+0.15%) to 1.4394 with 1.4463 as session high, GBP/CAD was down by 23 pips (-0.13%) to 1.8625 with 1.8726 as session high, GBP/AUD was down by 33 pips (-0.17%) to 1.9563 with 1.9638 as session high
CHF – The Japanese yen and the Greenback were under bearish pressure because of the risk-on environment, but the Swissy was in heavy demand during the session. In fact, it managed to win out against all the comdolls except the Aussie, making it the second-strongest currency during the session. There weren't any apparent catalysts for the Swissy, though.
USD/CHF was down by 26 pips (-0.27%) to 0.9745, EUR/CHF was down by 29 pips (-0.26%) to 1.1053, NZD/CHF was down by 13 pips (-0.19%) to 0.6746

Omaleshe; Working with Vulnerable Children.
We run regular Classes teaching dance and drumming to vulnerable children, children affected by the HIV pandemic and children with Special Needs.
There is evidence that dance can be used as an effective approach to dealing with grief and sorrow and as a way of building up confidence and self esteem. The teaching also focuses in an informal and non threatening way on promoting self protection and awareness of abuse. It brings energy and joy to those participating and, as it is grounded in African tradition, affirms the children's cultural heritage, in a country which previously was run under an apartheid regime, gaining independence in 1990.
Our classes include:
twice weekly in the settlement of Oneshila which over 90 children regularly attend
weekly with hearing and visually impaired children at their special needs school
twice weekly with under sixes children at their nurseries
weekend workshops for teenage girls living in school hostels
classes for children with Down's Syndrome

The newly revamped annual event is a celebration of Australian talent in the United States, with former Home and Away turned Thor actor Chris Hemsworth announced as this year's G'DAY USA honoree.
The G'DAY initiative includes a tourism summit and is seen as an opportunity to grow the close business and tourism ties between Australia and the USA, which is a key part of Qantas' role as the national carrier.
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce said the US is a key market for the airline and G'DAY USA provided a platform to strengthen ties between the two countries: "Qantas is proud to support an event that celebrates the tremendous success of Australians in the United States as well as opening doors for others," Mr Joyce said.
"G'DAY USA is an opportunity to deepen business ties, grown tourism and export the best of Australian talent. Our participation reflects the deep history between Qantas and the US as well as our role as the national carrier to showcase Australia to the world."
Presenters and attendees confirmed are Elsa Pataky, Liam Hemsworth, Luke Hemsworth, Rachel Griffiths, Jacki Weaver, Helen Reddy, Rebel Wilson, Angus Sampson, Elizabeth Debicki, Russell Hitchcock, Philip Noyce, Cameron Daddo, Emilie de Ravin, Josh Helman, Sharni Vinson and Jordan & Zac Stenmark.

We had slighty more space being a visitor to this year's Techno Classica - however, we have to admit that only the figures, supplied by the organisation, did show that. Being in the Halls of Essen one did not notice that some 10% less visitors have been present compared to the record breaking 2016-edition. And the cars? If they could have felt anything, many of them sure did not feel too happy - a hen from a laying battery sometimes has obviously more space, a fact, that makes proper pictures not too easy to be made. The numbers of cars and the number of exhibitors have been stable compared to last year.
40% of the cars on offer are told to have been sold - a figure to believe. We heard about a car a Saturski's that was as soon sold as the door had opened. Ferrari Eberlein sold a car during our visit and Movendi was quoted to have sold the same number of nine cars as in 2016.
You will see over the next days that -even if the number of Ferraris being present reduced by nine to 140 cars- the quality of the cars was once again marvelous.
The days in Essen have been filled with impressions, surprises and talks. Talks with enthusiasts, long-time topic-fellows, journalists and dealers. Speaking of dealers, we once again have defined our most favoured ones: Helmut Eberlein is an unbelievable kind guy and an absolute expert, the folks at Gebr. Stehling have been our personal surprise of the show - we have stayed for nearly have an hour, stuck in talks. Not to miss are the beautiful people of Sportwagen im Bleiwerk and their kind hospitality. On the other hand, our guess that not everyone from Cologone is nice, gentle and cheerful has been proven... learning never stops.
We start the trip through the halls today with going underground... To hall 1 a with today's Slide Show

so pretty – Autumn has the best reds!!

I also like the purple on some of those leaves! It sure doesn't feel like a second spring here, though. We've gone directly to winter!
Carole on November 20, 2016 at 8:25 AM
I have very similar leaves here. Beautiful!

I have similar leaves here. Beautiful!
Kym on November 20, 2016 at 8:42 AM
With such an extended fall this year, the leaves really developed some interesting depth to their color! It's been wonderful. But I'm afraid the end is here. . . the cold weather has arrived, and the remaining leaves are falling quickly now.
margene on November 20, 2016 at 10:58 AM
Isn't that the truth? This year our fall has been never-ending. How I will miss it when it finally gives over.
Victoria Mothes on November 20, 2016 at 6:30 PM
One of my favorites!! Gorgeous. After yesterday's snow, dramatic fall in temperature and, especially, wind… our trees & bushes are all pretty much bare now.

So comforting on a very cold and windy fall day…love the shades of purple red.

I've been teaching yoga for a while… started when I was 17 and it was always the gig I had on the side. When I graduated college I had no clue what to do with my life. I was just meandering through life hoping something nice, like a lottery win or a cushy job with a six-figure salary, would fall in to my lap! (Which: no.) So after one of my weekly yoga classes, I'd mentioned needing to find a "real job" and one of my yogis happened to work at an investment firm. She REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted me to come by for an interview, and I reluctantly agreed. Partially because my mom would be super annoyed if I didn't, and partly because I figured I had nothing to lose since I'd never get hired based on the fact that I knew nothing about investing and had no interest in working there 😉
Turns out, I got the job! I remember thinking, "Wow, cool! Wait, oh shit…" haha. But hey, it paid me well, I had fantastic benefits, and I learned more about financial markets and the world economy than I ever did in school… and that knowledge still serves me extremely well to this day. Yet somehow, I still hated it. I LOATHED going to work in the morning and Sunday evenings were usually spent in tears as I racked my brain for ANY other alternative. It was a serious struggle to wake up and know that I was about to spend nine to ten hours of my day doing work I didn't care about while generally hating my life.
Shortly after christmas in the second year I worked there at around 10am, we all got an email telling us there was a young woman in our office (no older than 30 and newly married) who was killed in a car accident on her way to work. She was hit at an intersection and died instantly.
Let me just say that for me, any story like this just tears my soul apart. I'm super sensitive to this stuff as it is, but this time, it really hit home with more force than ever. It took everything inside me to not burst in to tears at work that day, and for weeks after that I was haunted by the same question:
if this was my last day on earth, is this what I'd want to spend my time doing?
It's morbid, I know, but I was really worried about leaving this world while doing something I didn't even remotely enjoy with people who I liked but certainly didn't LOVE.
I knew I had to make a change and would have gone almost anywhere. So I applied for countless analyst positions at different firms, looked in to working in a restaurant again, and even got offered a teaching position in the English department at a local high school (a story for another day ;)). But I always kept coming back to the same thing: the only thing I really loved to do and looked forward to no matter what kind of day I had was teaching yoga. An entrepreneur himself, The Frenchman had been down a similar road years before and really encouraged me to go for it; honestly, without him, I might still be counting the minutes to 6pm every day ;)! So I took a deep breath, put in my two weeks notice so that my last day would be January 5th, and I prepared to start down the road of building Bad Yogi with The Frenchman at my side.
That was one of the most difficult decisions I've ever made. Even though I hated my job, it wasn't easy to walk away from a healthy, stable income, a 401k, regular bonuses, health insurance and guaranteed upward mobility. So suffice it to say, when I started teaching full-time, I struggled. I was teaching 18 classes a week, driving as far as 40 miles from home to teach wherever I could, and pushing my body to the point of failure, just to get close to making almost half of what I did at the firm. And no benefits. Or insurance. Or savings. But don't feel too bad for me— I really enjoyed my classes 🙂
Fast-forward through lots of butt-busting, some yoga challenges, more butt-busting, travel, filming, travel, filming, filming, filming, travel, and a dash more butt-busting…
… and The Frenchman and I ended up on a plane to Berlin to film for MyYogaPro exactly one year and one month to the day that I left my job. It was definitely one of those moments that had me feeling extra grateful to have had the support to follow my gut.
That was just one event on the journey that brings us together now. Bad Yogi started as an inside joke I had with myself (the best kind, lol) and now is something that really means something to so many people. I'm embarrassed to admit that I totally used to pretend to like green juice and kombucha and kale and all the stuff that's stereotypically "yogic," because I felt so out of place otherwise. My experience with the yoga community was always bittersweet: i loved the practice, but the people I've interacted with have often been exclusive, judgmental, and cut from a cloth that I didn't come from. I knew I couldn't be alone, so I set out to build a new community. One for those of us who love yoga but don't fit the mold we've been told is "correct." In Bad Yogi classes, you won't hear much Sanskrit, I totally forgive you if you don't know your asana from your elbow, and I firmly believe that yoga is for everyone, from the kale-loving vegan to the prize-winning deer hunter. I don't care if you're a devout practitioner or a cursing, SUV-driving, cigarette-smoking asshole, you can breathe a sigh of relief, because you're welcome here.
Bad Yogi is bringing yoga to people who wouldn't have tried it before because of all the pretense that comes with it. We're re-introducing yoga to people who were turned off by it once before but felt compelled to try it again. Bad Yogi isn't just a punchline; it's this huge extended yoga family that's accepting and inclusive and stands up for making yoga appealing again. I want us to bring Bad Yogi to every corner of the world and grow this community to be bigger than we can even imagine.
Let's do this, bad yogi army.
Spread the good word 😉 Our 10-Day Instagram Challenge Starts 1/1/15.
Over to you: Any similar stories out there? Love hearing them!

Linear projects are used in number of industrial applications and one of which is the construction. There are number of construction projects which are actually linear projects such as the highways, pipeline, tunnel construction. In these projects one unit is repetitive. Actually, the repetitive scheduling is the one which is defined as the linear scheduling. These are called repetitive because in these one set of activities are defined and then these are repeated over and over again unless the project is completed. The highway for example requires the same set of activities to be performed for the required length and not only this but whenever this kind of the project is started somewhere else, the same set of activities will be preformed there as well.
How to plan a linear project?
The important thing to consider is that the planning that the linear project construction work must not be overlapped or disturb the work of any other crew of the construction. The activities must be planned such as the processes which needs to be performed first are not allowed to take over the succeeding ones.
Management of the linear projects:
There is a cycle defined for the management of the linear project which is the PMLC. In this approach, it is assumed that you are given all the information and the inputs which are possibly required to achieve the targets and the goal of the project. This is important because this life cycle does not have the room for modification and deviations because these deviations then results in the heavy shift of the project schedule such as changing of the project schedule could introduce many severe set backs in the project timeline.
There are five processes involved in this management cycle of the linear projects and these include the scope of the project, planning launching, monitoring of the project activities along with controlling these and then the closing. It is important that these processes are handled and performed in the exact same sequence and the next process could only be started once the previous process has ended and completed.
Characteristics of the linear project which make it best for PMLC:
In order for this management approach to be best and effective, it is important that the proposed project has the clarity in the goals, requirements, features and the functionalities, there is very less scope changings and the activities are repetitive and routine in the nature. Moreover, a defined template of the project could be used to establish the planning and management of this project. Not only this, but it is important that you schedule the entire project at the begging. Chck this link https://deltasolutions.com.au/tilos-training/ to find out more details.

Laurent Mucchielli is a sociologist and senior researcher at the CNRS (National Scientific Research Centre, Paris), attached to the Laboratoire Méditerranéen de Sociologie (LAMES, Aix-en-Provence). He is the founder and director of the Observatoire régional de la délinquance et des contextes sociaux (ORDCS) at the University of Aix-Marseille. He has published numerous books and articles on juvenile offending, the sociology of offending, corruption and public security policies. Against the background of the prolongation of the state of emergency in France and the fight against terrorism, he offers unflinching analysis on topics ranging from video surveillance and radicalisation to the arming of French municipal police officers.
Alongside your latest book on the perceived level of violence in Marseille, in which you raise the question of the role of the city's mayor in security matters, you have recently published the results of a field study evaluating video surveillance (CCTV) in public spaces.What are the main points revealed by this recent study?
This study really is a journey to the heart of the most widely-trumpeted security measure of our age, giving a view from the inside of how it works on a day-to-day level. It is far cry from the discourse and representations which usually surround this issue, which are either dystopian – warning that Big Brother is watching us – or utopian – claiming that video surveillance is revolutionising crime-solving as well as being an effective method of dissuasion/prevention. The small town under study is, furthermore, considered by the local Prefecture as a model to be emulated on account of both the quality of the technical equipment deployed and the competence of its operators, who are all experienced Public Highway Surveillance Agents [Editor's note: Agents de surveillance de la voie publique, ASVP] working under the supervision of a municipal police officer. We were thus in a position to study a system functioning under ideal conditions. My study lets us see what video surveillance actually does and also provides precise figures. In particular, it provides evidence of the phenomenon by which delinquency simply shifts location, demonstrating that video surveillance achieves neither dissuasion nor prevention, but only the repression of offending through the use of recorded images in court. The use of 'live' images is very limited, most of the time having nothing to do with the prevention of offending, and is in general so rare that the greatest problem facing operators is boredom. Lastly, this study shows that the role of video surveillance in solving crimes is real but highly limited both in terms of quantity, as a fraction of the overall amount of crime investigation-related activity carried out by the local police, and in terms of quality, insofar as most of the time it is not a question of looking for decisive evidence, like an image of the face of a person carrying out an offence, but more simply evidence that such-and-such a person or vehicle was present on a certain day at a certain time and place. It is thus more a question of verifying and cross-checking testimony, clues and possible scenarios, in short of adding one more element to the others already forming part of an investigation. In the final analysis, the study of the long-term operation of the system (over a period of 10 years) allows us to conclude that its installation has had no significant impact on the development of offending recorded by police in the town.
In the current state of emergency, does it not appear that the usefulness of video surveillance in criminal investigations has been proved?
Far from it. The fact that the police can find a few images of the presumed killers which are then broadcast on a loop on television news channels does not mean that this makes any contribution whatsoever to fighting terrorism. Firstly, these are always images that have been found after the events, when people are already dead. Secondly, there is no evidence that these images have played a significant role in the subsequent arrests of the terrorists. The recent example of the attacks in Paris and Brussels shows that telephone tapping and tracking bank cards, along with witness testimony and tip-offs, have been far more important. As a general point, I would say that we allow ourselves to be taken in too easily by the images that are given to us and by the visual spectacle of crime. The reality of the work of detectives and intelligence officers is very different. Video may be used at times (especially when conducting long-range surveillance) but it is not their main tool.
You have always voiced strong concerns regarding the arming of municipal police officers. Has your point of view changed since the [Charlie Hebdo] attacks of January 2015?
Not in the slightest. Here too, there is a great deal of empty talk and much is made of symbols, but the whole debate is rooted in representations and feelings of insecurity rather than the cold, objective study of reality. Isolated incidents are used to make spurious arguments. The case of a woman municipal police officer shot dead in pursuit of experienced robbers in 2010 is used as evidence that officers need to be armed, conveniently forgetting the fact that the officer in question was carrying a weapon! And, of course, no-one asks about the tasks given to the municipal police. The fact is that some municipal police unions have been engaged in a real race towards arming their members for a number of years. They aim to imitate the national police and the gendarmerie in all respects and are always asking for more, egged on by certain elected officials who have made security the cornerstone of their electoral and personal popularity.
Is this demand, in your view, at odds with the principle of community policing that the municipal police are meant to follow?
Since the end of the 1970s, most local officials and the majority of the population have been asking for the sort of community policing that the national police and the gendarmerie no longer carry out. In practice this would mean walking the beat, going out and meeting shopkeepers, community organisations, local residents, with long-term placements in well-defined neighbourhoods where officers would play some sort of active role in the life of the community, etc. But instead of taking advantage of this avenue which is open to them, a proportion of municipal police officers – not necessarily the majority, but those with the loudest voices – dream of car-chases and pulling out guns to 'catch the real villains'. Under Sarkozy's presidency, successive governments encouraged them in this. And under Hollande, we've seen the same thing happen. The terrorist attacks are just a pretext. The truth is that there is no global vision or strategy. Everyone just goes along with these demands to avoid any criticism over security matters.
The fight against terrorism has come to dominate public security policy to such an extent that, according to some, crime prevention strategies are being totally neglected. What are your thoughts on this?
As I am continually trying to explain, repression and prevention are not mutually exclusive. They are two completely different things. Repression equates to emergency treatment, the role of the firefighter trying to put out a fire. Prevention is about anticipating the future, treating the causes to reduce future risks. Both are indispensable and ought to be complementary. The problem is that, in the current situation of panic, repression is not only uppermost in everybody's minds, but is also receiving the lion's share of all the budgets. Mesmerised by the present, we no longer have a vision of the future. This is true both at the national and local level. Just look at the announcements made by the new regional presidents: in several cases these involve tens of millions of euros being swallowed up by CCTV cameras, walk-through metal detectors, security improvements in buildings, etc. The same thing is happening in many cities and départements (counties). The problem is that, once the coffers have been emptied, very little is left for prevention work. But the same causes are still there and they will produce the same effects. Family problems, educational disengagement, failure at school, mass unemployment, discrimination are all worse than ever in some neighbourhoods and with every passing day are creating tomorrow's problems.
In your view, what measures should we focus on in order to prevent radicalisation?
This problem is complex and multi-faceted. There is obviously the question of ghettoisation in certain areas that I have already mentioned. Similarly, there is the problem of the development of certain radical Islamic sects and of the presence in our country of certain dangerous preachers, and this is virtually all coming from Saudi Arabia. More generally, though, there is the inability of our society and our leaders to conceive of and organise a modern model of citizenship, one able to come to terms with its colonial history and able to achieve the positive integration of the different cultures, identities and religions whose presence within France's population at the beginning of the 21st century is an inescapable fact. Instead of doing this, most of our leaders still cling desperately to a concept of the Nation, the Republic and secularism that has, to my mind, become outdated. As a result, they are locked into defensive, mistrustful postures when what is needed is a new, young outlook, a breath of fresh air, with words and actions that will transcend differences, create links between people and give new hope to all generations. Lastly, one would have to be either rather blind or extremely hypocritical not to see the links which exist between the phenomena of radicalisation and jihadism, and the military-political situation in the Middle East and France's foreign policy. France is waging war outside its borders, is selling massive amounts of weapons (we are the biggest arms exporter in Europe) and supports some regimes while officially and unofficially fighting against others. Obviously, none of this is neutral. Yet there is no political debate worthy of the name on this subject. As for the worldwide goodwill that we gained from Dominique de Villepin's speech to the UN in 2003 at the time of the invasion of Iraq by the USA under George W. Bush, it has been comprehensively frittered away by presidents Sarkozy and Hollande. It is all this, in my view, that we should be focusing on today.

The task of our generation is to learn to live happily on fewer resources, to distribute these resources equitably, and to make our communities resilient enough to withstand the bumps in the road along the way.
The goal is clear. Reaching it means coming to terms with climate change, our addiction to oil, and deep social inequalities. Bay Localize creates innovative solutions for communities to meet basic needs in ways that harness local resources creatively, sustainably, and equitably. We catalyze change at the community level by providing tools to chart a path to resilience, and ramping up good models to scale through local policy change. Bay Localize focuses our work where we live in the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area, but our tools and models are replicated throughout the country and the world.
Bay Localize believes that vibrant local economies and healthy communities are the answer to our growing challenges. They are the best safeguard against global insecurity, an essential part of achieving social equity, and a vital way to enrich our day-to-day lives. Join Bay Localize in creating a hopeful and vibrant future for us all.

If you're like most oil investors, you're nervous. Oil stocks have taken a tumble this year. And, many analysts are wondering whether they'll recover. Investors have lost thousands — millions — and many won't get back up. Will you? Here's what savvy investors know that you don't.
The Background
According to http://moneymorning.com/tag/oil-prices/, predicting oil prices isn't as hard as some experts would have you believe. With global prices declining drastically over the last year, many investors find it difficult to believe that there's any money to be made in oil. The reality is that there is: lots of it.
Consumers make out very good because lower oil prices mean that it's easier to fill the gas tank and get to work.
From 2010 to around Jun of 2014, oil prices stabilized about $110 a barrel. But, after that, prices dropped significantly, to $30 per barrel.
Current Pricing
Even though the spike in prices in the early part of 2016 caused some investors to plow back into oil, prices haven't really gone anywhere. Many speculators are taking the view that prices will be on the rise, with Bloomberg reporting that options trading in West Intermediate (WTI) oil futures long bets pushed the price of oil up slightly. In reality, the price of oil has fallen by 0.7% to $29.25 per barrel in Singapore. That's something that worries most long-term investors, and even many speculators.
Oil prices in the U.S. are down 20% this year.
Brent price are down 15 percent too, as investors worry about oversupply in crude. And, that doesn't touch the geopolitical factors.
The Geopolitical Factors
Price increases in oil are fuelled by news of Saudi Arabian-Russian talks in Doha, Qatar. The discussions focused on ways of dealing with the glut in oil. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has also increased its estimate of global oil supply by 250,000 barrels daily. This hints at the idea that oil prices are going to remain low for the rest of 2016.
But, that doesn't mean you should stay out of oil. Almost every classically-trained investor knows that a low price is a buying opportunity — especially for cyclical commodities like oil.
Companies That May Rebound
If you're willing to hold out, you can make money by buying now and waiting for the stocks to rebound.
ExxonMobil – How could you not like this oil company. When you think oil, you almost have to think Exxon. It's the supertanker of energy stocks, and one that earns money from both oil and gas production. It's traditionally treated its shareholders very well, paying a handsome dividend yield. Its reported 38% loss in revenues in 2015 worried many investors, but it has also gotten leaner and reduced operating costs. ExxonMobil is also one of only 3 publicly traded companies with a higher credit rating than the U.S. Government.
And, while its oil and gas production isn't going as fast or as high as smaller companies, it's still expecting to increase production by 5% from those dreary 2015 levels.
It pays investors to wait for a rebound with its very generous dividend. And, this is a company serious about paying it. Even with a 46% loss in 2015, it raised its dividend by 5.8%, showing its commitment to long-term growth and strength in the face of short-term losses. It's maintained its dividend increases for 33 years.
Chevron – Another big name in oil has made massive bets in the last few years. It's spent more than $107 billion into various projects from liquefied natural gas in Australia to oil wells off the coast of West Africa.
Several projects are now up and running, and the payoff to investors is promised to be forthcoming. Wall Street sees Chevron's earnings per share declining by 28% this year, to a paltry $2.50.However, the company expects to more than double its profits in 2017, boosting earnings per share to $5.31.
Occidental Petroleum – If you haven't heard of this one, you're not alone. But, it's one of the largest domestic energy companies. It's a mini-major with a mix of oil and gas production, chemical refineries, and pipelines. Its balance sheet is pretty healthy, and it has $6.9 billion in long-term debt which is offset by $2.5 billion in cash.
Most of its domestic drillers are spending more and more on capital projects that don't quite have sufficient cashflow coming in yet. But, they should be able to boost up production and produce that cash for investors soon. With a dividend of 4.9%, it's an attractive play for many investors.
