When I served on NHS research and development committees a few years ago, we were often tasked with deciding whether a proposal constituted fully fledged research or "merely" an audit.
The latter involves the evaluation of services supplementary to treatments, such as changes to a patient waiting area or feedback on the experience of care. It is deemed not to be research because it might not produce new and effective knowledge. That is despite the fact that, to be useful, an audit should be as robust as standard research in terms of accurate baseline and outcome measures, as well as awareness (if not control) of potentially confounding variables.
The distinction between research and audit matters because audits are not considered by the NHS to require the same ethics appraisal as research. Yet such interventions could raise just as many moral questions as research does.
It largely comes down to administrative convenience. Given the amount of service evaluations conducted in the health context, the ethics review system could be overwhelmed if all research-like activity required its approval. Yet administrative convenience is obviously not a good reason to determine where ethical oversight is appropriate.
More recently, I have been challenged to define research in my capacity as leader of a European Commission project, known as PRO-RES, that aims to promote ethics and integrity in non-medical research – in certain fields of which, the requirement to submit to ethics review is sometimes actively opposed.
My colleague Fabian Zuleeg, CEO and chief economist of the European Policy Centre, points out that not all research agencies are in a position to adhere to PRO-RES' foundational statement on the values, principles and standards to be sought in research. For instance, it could clash with some thinktanks' business models by offering an advantage to less reputable organisations that would be unlikely to follow such principles.
But while analysts in the public and private sectors might not carry the label "researchers", they certainly collect data, as well as synthesise research findings from other sources. They use their judgement and experience to make recommendations based on the research. So why, unlike academic researchers, are they currently unlikely to be subject to any form of ethics review?
Nor is it just public policy researchers and advocacy organisations that evade ethical oversight. Data gathering is also part of the modus vivendi of most large internet-based corporations – and the scale of profit realised by companies such as Google, Amazon and Facebook is testimony to the value, accuracy and effectiveness of such data. Yet there are currently no adequate legal limits on their actions. They allow themselves to be subject only to their own internal mission statements.
How can it be allowed that standards in research apply to some researchers but not to others? This only enhances the unfortunate incentives for skilled researchers to migrate from ethics-appraised academic research in universities to better-paid commercial research organisations, in which innovation might even override integrity and which are highly unlikely to subscribe to those supposed fundamental principles of science: openness, transparency and the sharing of knowledge.
The research that elected Donald Trump and "caused" the Brexit referendum result was not subject to the kinds of checks on ethics and integrity required of academic researchers. Cambridge Analytica was a research mercenary – employed to gather data that could influence opinion on a massive scale and immune to the need for transparency, balance and justice in its exploitation of data.
The mathematician Hannah Fry recently argued for a Hippocratic Oath for scientists – especially mathematicians. She hopes that this would encourage them to pay closer attention to the consequences of hidden algorithms and invisible processes that gather and manipulate personal data with varying degrees of permission and perform functions that have real-life consequences for individuals and their communities.
But we also need to find something equivalent to the conventional models for monitoring ethical research that can be applied to corporations, thinktanks, advocacy agencies, lobbying groups and the more murky "advisory bodies" with mass behaviour change as their raison d'être. This is particularly true in areas such as personal data, artificial intelligence, robotics, food and agricultural science.
The reason that this has not happened already is primarily that no one has thought through how it could be done. But the authorities that should address these issues must not be dissuaded merely because the task is daunting. It may be easier to establish regulatory mechanisms for "pure" academic research – but such research may be considerably less dangerous than the research that is currently unregulated.
If some research is worth monitoring, then all should be – in ways suited to their forms and function. It is not fair that non-academic researchers are allowed to get away with things that academics cannot. And history has already shown that relying on the vagaries of self-regulation outside the academic field is an invitation to abuse.
Ron Iphofen is an independent research consultant. He draws these observations from The Handbook of Research Ethics and Scientific Integrity, which he is editing for Springer Nature. With some chapters already published online, the full version will be published early 2020.

Sightseeing combined with playing concerts is a great idea to integrate and spend unforgettable time together. What about a joint concert with Polish choir. The visit is also an opportunity to get to know Polish music. Chopin, Penderecki, Szymanowski, jazz, klezmer music – it's all waiting in Poland for music lovers from all over the world. Immerse with me in the world of unique sounds during the Jazz Jamboree, Mysteria Paschalia or during the Film Music Festival.

Let's work together
to solve for the future of health care.
From the foundations to the future of health care, we want to fuel our health policy community's drive to address the complex topics that have challenged our leaders and policymakers for decades.
Join us for the 2019 Alliance for Health Policy's Signature Series: Solving for Health programming for the opportunity to engage in forward-thinking, collaborative discussions that work toward developing tangible solutions for the future health of our country. Building from the success of our 2018 Signature Series, we will bring together the nation's top health policy leaders, experts, and policymakers to thoroughly explore the nation's most pressing health and health care issues.
Registration is free and open to the public. Participants and attendees will gain insight on what these words—innovation, value, and social determinants—truly mean, and envision how we can work together to identify real sustainable outcomes for all Americans.
Together, we will explore our two Signature Series topics:
What's Next on Social Determinants of Health
Navigating the Frontiers of Innovation and Value
Our Signature Series programming has pushed the conversation forward by critically examining major issues that have challenged leaders and policymakers in health care for decades. Since 2017, we have discussed five complex topics—health insurance, health care 1,000 workforce, chronic care, health care costs, and aging in America. Each topic consists of two key components—a public half-day summit and a public congressional briefing— that continues to convene speakers from across the ideological spectrum in our unique nonpartisan forum, attracting over 1,000 registrants in 2018 alone.
The half-day summit will examine cutting edge thinking and best practices through expert panels and keynote addresses; and the in-depth congressional briefing that will address the "how-to" and policy implications of the Series topic.
Policymakers, health experts, reporters, and passionate health policy individuals are encouraged to attend every public Signature Series event. This series is open to the public and free for all registrants.

Jobless rate drops across Toowoomba region
UNEMPLOYMENT across the Toowoomba local government area has dropped 0.3 per cent in the past quarter, according to the latest Federal Government figures.
The Small Area Labour Markets report found the Toowoomba LGA had a total labour force of 85,742, with 4686 unemployed.
It equated to an unemployment rate drop to 5.5% in the March 2019 quarter.
It had peaked at 5.8% in the previous quarter.
It was the lowest level of unemployment reported compared to LGAs surrounding Toowoomba, with the highest number of jobseekers living in the Southern Downs.
The Southern Downs Regional Council area had a total labour force of 17,218 with 1365 unemployed, or an unemployment rate of 7.9%, up from 7.1% on the previous quarter.
The South Burnett dropped from 8.2% to 7.8%, while the Lockyer Valley LGA dropped 0.9% to 5.9%.
The Western Downs' unemployment rate increased 0.9% to 6.9%.
The Small Area Labour Markets report is compiled by the Federal Government's Department of Employment, and analyses job and unemployment figures of regional areas. Next quarter's figures are due to be released in September.

David W. Latham, senior lecturer on Astronomy, and Owen Gingerich, Professor of Astronomy, once hired an airplane to tow a banner over the yard during shopping period to advertise their Core course, "Science A-17: The Astronomical Perspective."
But Latham says most students didn't seem to notice the moving billboard.
"The bottom line is I think the effort got us one student," he says.
As shopping period gets underway this week, some professors say they find the Harvard tradition to be a nuisance because they have to sell their classes to students in jam-packed, frenzied conditions.
Still others, however, say they are in support of shopping period because it offers students a valuable time to find the classes that best suit their interests.
Latham says whether or not he tries to sell his course depends on how many students show up during shopping period.
"It depends on whether I've got too many or too few students," he said. "Also it depends on how many T.F.s [teaching fellows] we're committed to."
Jay M. Harris, Wolfson Professor of Jewish Studies, says he usually feels pressure to sell his departmental course offerings to students.
"[I try to sell] department classes, since I am in a department that attracts limited students," he says.
But Harris, whose Core class, "Moral Reasoning 54: `If There Is No God, All Is Permitted," was standing-room only yesterday, says he does not have the same concern with Cores.
In fact, shopping period may necessitate some reorganization.
"In any event, enrollment will be higher than the Core office allowed me to plan for," he says.
Harris and other faculty members say there are some negative aspects to shopping period, such as overcrowding, lack of handouts and students leaving mid-lecture.
It is difficult to convey the merits of an entire course in only a few lectures, Harris says.
"[Shopping]does not tell people what they need to know, since so many of us feel that essential material cannot be presented then or at least not until the last day [of shopping period," he says.

Hi HCs08,
Firstly, writing to address SCI1D is all you have to do to send a byte out over SCI.
One thing to note is reading from this same address gives you the recieved register so the |= is probably not going to do what you expect.
You must however have initialised the SCI correctly before you can just write to SCI1D and expect it to work.
First you need to write to SCI1BDH and SCI1BDL to set the baudrate depending on your clock.
You can probably leave SCI1C1 at reset default of 0x00.
But you must at least set bit 3 in SCI1C2 for transmit enable and possibly bit 2 for receive enable.
Hope this helps.
BR Peg
BTW, please don't post the same Q in multiple forums and don't post Q's about devices in the general forum, you will only annoy people.
Message Edited by peg on 04-22-200601:01 PM
Because the transmitter is double buffered you put a byte into SCID and it will automatically move it into the shift register when it can. So you just wait for TDRE to be set which means that this has occurred. You can then load SCID while it is busy shifting the previous byte out. This way you can easily achieve continuous transmission. TC gets set when the last bit has left the shift register.
This means that if you need to send several bytes you load the first one into SCID then wait for TDRE (which will be almost instantaneous the first time) then load the next byte into SCID then wait for TDRE etc...... You don't normally need to check for TC, only if you need to for instance disable the transmitter of a half duplex RS-485 line.

Hi Odddlaw,
SCTIE is the interrupt enable for SCTE which is the same as TDRE in a GB as described in my previous post. And TCIE is the interrupt enable for TC as in previous post.
You seem to be unsure of what you are doing with both interrupts in general and with using the SCI. I would suggest you get the SCI going in polled mode first to remove one layer of complexity.
Your answer to Q2 is found by using the info above combined with my previous post.
You don't need to use interrupts with the ADC because the conversion will be much quicker than to send the result over the SCI.
I would suggest this as a concept to start with.
cause a conversion
when complete (polled)
write result to SCI (just low byte for now to make it easy)
cause a conversion
when complete
* write to SCI
cause conversion
wait for SCTE
loop back to *
when you have that working you can put the stuff in the loop in a SCI interrupt routine so you can go and do something else.
This concept relies on the fact that sending one byte will take longer than 1 conversion so you don't need to wait for the conversion to end.
Let us know how you go!

my problem is the same of Overdall, I have to send the result of ADC conversion with the SCI. I use polling for all my operation(SCI1S1_TDRE and ATDSC_CCF). My question is about the formula for the baude rate:
baud rate=(busclock)/((sbr12-0)*16)
I want to modify the bus clock and I have this formula
bus frequency=((firg/7)*P*N/R)
What's firg? What's the value of firg for MC13192SARDUG and for M68EVB908GB60UM?
Thanks a lot

Anthony Davis: My mother tells me that you were in Bristol last night.
Ken Loach: (Pause.) Yes, that's right.
AD: Which is my home city.
KL: (With hesitation) Oh, are you a – Gashead or a City fan ?
AD: (Pause.) Ah… when I was there, I was a City fan, but I've lived in this area for so long…
KL: Oh, well.
AD: (Long pause) It's the old Blue and Red, I suppose, really, isn't it – the symbolism. […] So, obviously doing the rounds, from place to place, with the film..?
KL: Yeah, it was a very warm audience, really. Yeah, it's been curious … I mean, we've had so many terrific responses …
AD: (Interrupting) Excellent! And good questions?
KL: Um, yeah, yeah, yeah, very good. You know, very to the point, but some extreme … extreme hostility from some of the right-wing press again. I mean, it's just bizarre. And personal. Very personal abuse.
AD: And you put yourself through reading that?
KL: Well, they send – you know, the distributors tend to send you all the stuff …
AD: (Interrupting slightly) And you're dutiful and read it?
KL: Well, it's interesting to see what the opposition are up to – you don't want to live in a bubble, I mean?
AD: No, no.
KL: So, but it is, it's bizarre – I think, if anyone else had directed it, I think there wouldn't have been such a kind of foul-mouthed response.
AD: So, do you think that they attach connotations to the film, because it's your film?
KL: I think, yeah – I think, inevitably, that happens with everything really, whether it's music
or whoever it is.
AD: Yes.
KL: It's seen as part of a continuum. But, I think that we've all been surprised at just the, um, kind
of foul-mouthed abuse of some of it: it's really playground stuff. So, I mean, it's not hurtful, but it's surprising.
AD: I looked up a couple of things – I don't know if you go on Rotten Tomatoes' web-site at all …
KL: No, no, no.
"The critics will examine the brush-strokes, but they won't stand back and see the painting."
AD: …but it's quite a useful way of collating all the reviews. And I found one there from The Irish Times that says, "You'll laugh and you'll fume, that is what we've come to expect". [KL laughs] I'm not sure whether that was a positive review – it seemed to be, from the context in which I found it.
KL: I don't remember The Irish Times. Um …
AD: But I just wanted to remind you of the exchange between you and Graham Fuller in Loach on Loach (the Faber & Faber book) … is that why you regard most film criticism as decadent?
KL: I think so, yes. The critics will examine the brush-strokes, but they won't stand back and see the content of the painting. I don't know why that is.
AD: Do you think that that's still the case?
KL: Yes, very much so, um – I think that they don't deal with substance. If you look at the book reviews, they will, generally speaking, get someone to review a book who can discuss the content, and evaluate it and say it's soundly researched, the ideas are maybe approved or criticized, but there's some evidence brought to bear. If it's a story, is it worth telling, are the characters valid? You feel that the people doing the review take the content seriously – usually. You never get that, or you – I won't say never – but you rarely get that in films. They will discuss the how, but they won't discuss the why or the what – and that's very strange.
AD: So, with this – you mentioned this sort of foul-mouthed response …
KL: That's just one or two …
AD: Just one or two. But what are they latching onto, I mean, are they actually justifying their response in relation to something?
KL: I think that the right wing really – the fact that we've managed to keep going gets up their noses. [Laughs] I think that they hate the idea, you know, that you can manage to keep working, and I think it's a political hostility, couched in personal abuse. But what they're actually saying … one of them said that we had no strong women characters.
AD: But the mother's a strong character…
KL: Yes, yes, of course. I mean, like, we did a film called BREAD AND ROSES, which was about two women, two sisters, and leading the struggle for pay and conditions amongst cleaners in LA. IT'S A FREE WORLD was, again, two women in the forefront of … with an agency to employ foreign workers. I mean, they were up to all kinds of tricks to get a place in the market, and to reduce labour costs, but they were certainly strong. And they were full of wit and imagination, and creativity – albeit, you know, on a project that we might be critical of. But there was no doubting their strength. So, I mean, it doesn't bear examination. But there's no examination, it's …
AD: So, it's simply an assertion that is made, and then there's no basis for it.
KL: No, there's no back-up – there's nothing in the article.
AD : Because I can think that, even with THE ANGELS' SHARE, which is a much lighter film – as it develops, [though] it's quite dark at the beginning. THE GANG OF FOUR has a woman in it, and there's …
KL: The most sensible of them, in some respects! [Both laugh]
"we were accused of being worse propagandists than Leni Riefenstahl…"
AD: Yes, and you've also got Robbie – but he, his pregnant girlfriend is standing – trying to stand up to her father, and have a relationship, and a position. So they're clearly not spineless, weak characters.
KL: No, no. But it's not about evidence, it's just about trying to destroy something, I think. It's bizarre. I mean, when we did THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY – the other one in Ireland – I mean, there was great hostility there, but that was more … political. I mean, we were accused of being worse propagandists than Leni Riefenstahl, the Nazi propagandist – and an idiot called Simon Heffer, who writes for The Telegraph, I think, said that he hadn't seen the film, and he didn't want to see the film, 'cos he didn't need to read Mein Kampf to know what a louse Hitler was.
AD: Ah, that's quite interesting, because you were talking about book reviews, and, in a way, you wouldn't go to The London Review of Books to find out what the cover of a book looks like.
KL: No, no, no, exactly. [Both laugh.]
AD: Obviously, when you're working on one project, other projects are in your mind, but was there any springboard for this one in THE SPIRIT OF '45 ?
KL: Um, no, we were on this way with this when I did that. Paul first heard the story three or four years ago.
AD: So, he heard about Jimmy?
KL: Yes, through a friend of his, who was doing a stage-play about him. And then we thought that it just brought a number of ideas together.
AD: Yes, and, of course, Paul has this very interesting background as a former human-rights lawyer – and 'human rights', we all know, is a dirty word, because it all means that you can't be deported, because you've got a cat. I mean, it struck me that things like the workers' education movement, Ruskin, all of those things have a resonance with what's going on in the hall. And they all seem very positive things, but then, as 'the masters and pastors' view it, it's dangerous: you want to keep this class in the place that they are in [Vigorous assent from KL], you want them cutting turf – you don't want them educated, except through the church.
KL: Yes, absolutely, and if the church educates you, then you know your place. It was the time of the WEA [Workers' Educational Association], and the workplace libraries, and the Clarion Cycling Club …
AD: But, of course, those are all things that we wonder whether we might lose again, with this sort of present government. Again, quite a resonance, quite a reason why people might resent this film?
KL: Yes, absolutely. The Labour Party itself has cut itself off from those sorts of workers' initiatives, really. And it's a huge richness which, I think, we've lost. And there was a great respect for art, for literature for all cultural things. And there isn't time …
AD: But, then, we just need to go back to the Thatcher days, when Norman Tebbit's trying to make out that art galleries are the equivalent of Page 3.
KL: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, interestingly now, in the last couple of decades, the idea of sponsorship is now everything. I mean, you can't have an artistic event without sponsorship. And the sub-text is 'Nothing can happen – without business'. Business is behind everything that we do, and we can't do things collectively, and in the interests of the community, unless big business tells us it's OK.
AD: So, just finally, we've mentioned the sort of hostility that there's been from some quarters, for this film. Was that a surprise to you, or perfectly within your expectations ?
KL: No, no, I expected some, and the level of personal vitriol is (in one or two places, not all) is extraordinary. And that's surprising. But, you know, the audience contact we've had has been fantastic. I mean, it certainly has polarized people, but the audiences have been brilliant, and we had a very interesting discussion last night in Bristol, [with] a guy who had come from Wales, saying how the spaces for … there used to be a Miners' Welfare … that's gone. There used to be rooms above pubs – they're tending to go.
AD: So, actually, maybe even more of a polarization, or more of a response, than you were expecting than with THE SPIRIT OF '45?
KL: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
AD: People seeing what they had, and what they might lose?
KL: Yeah, yeah. Or what [they have] lost – or are losing.
AD: Yes, yes. Well, thank you for your time. Good to meet you!
KL: Nice to see you.

This is the view directly left of the balcony across the courtyard, and other identical balconies on the fourth floor.
My sneaks again. This is the view straight down, and the feeling that you're suspended in air.
This is the lovely little Hotel courtyard bar and restaurant, neatly landscaped, immaculately maintained. There was a light drizzle in the air, as I surmise there often is, so the glass semicircular enclosure is where one eats brekfats on mornings like this. And it was superb! Bagels, cheeses, hams, fruits and Nutella! (I'm back in the Nutella club after this trip.)
And here's the courtyard, where you can just see the kinder milling about and yammering.

Bankruptcy liquidators turn to Web
Joel Tabas, a bankruptcy trustee in Miami, bypassed traditional liquidators when faced with the challenge of selling a debtor's 2006 Hummer H3 this year. He put it on eBay.
Trustees across the country are turning to Internet marketplaces to fetch higher prices for assets, boosting recoveries for creditors. Online offerings have included a $1.5 million house with a view of Mount Shasta, 215 pairs of sneakers from football star Warren Sapp's Air Jordan collection, and a set of Arizona cemetery plots.
Online sales are "the single most revolutionary tool the auction business has ever seen," said Mark Weitz, a unit president of liquidator Great American Group Inc.

As much as $2 billion in assets moves through Bankruptcy Courts in Chapter 7 cases and at least $10 billion in assets from Chapter 11 cases, of which a portion are now sold over the Internet, said Vahak Papasian, a Los Angeles-area bankruptcy lawyer. Online bankruptcy sales, which began around 2005, now account for about 20 percent of the business at Meares Auction Group in Pelzer, S.C., said company President David Meares.
"It's all over the country," Meares said.
The increase in online bankruptcy auctions has attracted competitors to eBay, which has more than $13 billion in annual sales. At Inforuptcy.com, a website Papasian co-founded with Michael Mikikian, a former Jefferies & Co. vice president, users can download court filings and buy and sell bankruptcy assets and claims.
Hilco Trading LLC, a veteran bankruptcy liquidator, recently started its own site, Hilcoipauctions.com. Proxibid Inc., the world's largest provider of live auction webcasting services, handled more than 200 bankruptcy auctions last year, almost twice as many as three years earlier, President Ryan Downs said. The value of the goods climbed to $50 million, about 5 percent of the total processed by the company.
Bankruptcy auctions "do well on our platform," Downs said. "This competitive bidding aspect does increase prices."
Con man Bernard Madoff's New York Mets jacket, offered on Proxibid.com by the U.S. Marshals Service at an estimated price of $700, sold for more than $14,000, Downs said.
"We've been doing vehicle sales for about a year online almost exclusively," Tabas said. Live auctions often draw "car dealers who are going to flip them," he said.
"Most times, with online auctions you are selling to the end-user, so you get closer to a private-party sale value," Tabas said.
Improving information technology will help "promote effectiveness and efficiency" in the courts, the U.S. Trustee's office, the Justice Department arm that oversees bankruptcy cases, said in its strategic plan for the next four years. The push stems partly from a "dramatic increase" in case filings from 2008 to 2010, the office said.
The 1.6 million bankruptcies in 2010, in the wake of the global financial crisis, were the most since the record of 2.1 million in 2005, when Americans sought to beat new laws making it harder to cancel debt, according to Epiq Systems Inc. Bankruptcies through August were on track to total 1.25 million this year, down 9 percent from last year's 1.38 million.
EBay doesn't keep statistics on how many of its sales involve bankruptcies, said spokeswoman Johnna Hoff. Tabas listed the Hummer on eBay with a reserve price of $8,500. It sold in July for $9,600 after 536 visits and 11 bids, according to court papers.
Raymond Obuchowski, a Chapter 7 trustee in Vermont, initially found no takers for an 18th century violin made by Laurentius Storioni. Marketing the violin on Inforuptcy.com garnered a stalking horse bid of more than $14,000. The instrument sold for $21,000 at an auction held by Obuchowski, according to Mikikian.
Going online doesn't always work out. Sapp, a former Pro Bowl defensive lineman for the Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, filed for bankruptcy in March. His sneakers, offered on eBay by trustee Kenneth Welt, were withdrawn after bids failed to reach the reserve price, the lowest that would be accepted.
The home near Mount Shasta and the six Arizona cemetery plots are still available on Bankruptcysales.com, a site set up by the National Association of Bankruptcy Trustees.
Darren Julien, head of Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills, said there are other pitfalls to using online platforms like eBay. Julien, who bills his company as "Auctioneer to the Stars," has overseen auctions of memorabilia once owned by celebrities such as Michael Jackson, Johnny Cash, Bette Midler and Cher.
"On eBay, you have to worry about authenticity," said Julien, whose company does research to establish an item's provenance.
On Nov. 30, Julien's will hold an auction for boxing champion Evander Holyfield's memorabilia in Beverly Hills. Holyfield is trying to pay off debts after his 109-room home in Fairburn, Ga., was sold in March for $7.5 million in a foreclosure auction, according to the New York Daily News.
Bidders can take part in person, online or over the telephone. Julien's Beverly Hills gallery will hold a public exhibition in the days leading up to the auction, where Holyfield's collectibles will be on display: gloves worn in the June 1997 "bite fight" with Mike Tyson, championship rings, a 1962 Chevrolet Corvette, Holyfield's 1984 Olympic bronze medal, and Rolex, Cartier and Patek Phillipe watches.
Full-color catalogs signed by Holyfield will go for $250 each, according to Julien's website, which touts the auction as "The Main Event."
"You can't generate this kind of excitement online," Julien said.

Live on Reflection: 14 Nt Exotic Southern Caribbean (Jan 4)
mamaday replied to mahdnc's topic in Celebrity CruisesCustoms at the port took an hour. We need Global Entry! Left the ship at 8 am and in taxi by 9am. Five customs agents. Do not use first line as they also add in handicap pass with same custom agent making the line much slower. We also used luggage valet. Worked out great. Airport a breeze as we have sky priority with Delta. Three hours until our flight.
Specialty Dining Price Decrease
mamaday replied to mmsJack's topic in Celebrity CruisesReflection on 1/4/2019 prices did not change. Holiday cruises do not offer dining packages. We found this out by calling Captains Club.
Booking While On Board, A Question For Anyone Currently Sailing
mamaday replied to JEDMELK's topic in Celebrity CruisesInteresting. We always book onboard for the obc. Also one or two perks, depending on class of cabin. But never have we received a bottle of wine or other gifts. Do you receive these extra gifts only by booking on the first day? Never booked on day one as there is always so much going on.
MDR - 14 Night Dinner Menús
mamaday replied to gerelmx's topic in Celebrity CruisesWe leave on the Reflection for a 14 day cruise in a little over a month. Thanks for posting the dessert and dinner menus. Looking forward to lots of great meals!
30% off pre-cruise purchases...incl beverage package upgrade!
mamaday replied to bebe08's topic in Celebrity CruisesJust upgraded our 1/4/19 booking with a 30% discount, $7/day +18% = $8.26/day for 14 days = $115.64 pp. If you like the Martini Bar or a glass of wine just two drinks/day will break even. 1/31/20 booking is not included. For a 14 day cruise at 30% off I figure it's not going to get any better so might as well pay for the upgrade out of my OBC. Not sure how they decide what bookings are included. Atwell just checked and stated sailings up to May 11, 2020. I'll check again in a few days.
What Would You Do?
mamaday replied to JerseyGirlatHeart's topic in Celebrity CruisesGreat topic. Living in the cold and snowy Tundra of Minnesota, a 14 day Caribbean Cruise is a respite from winter. We like the ABC islands and prefer a 14 day cruise. Interesting to see what you chose.
Thanks PRH. My mobility is improving. Exercises twice daily helps but still difficult sitting in low places and then standing back up. It's hard to explain. I can walk longer distances and go up and down stairs with a handrail.

Prices for renting wheelchair and/or scooter -
mamaday replied to Romy40's topic in Disabled Cruise TravelWhere did you find this great price?
Looking at this excursion for January 2019. With limited mobility I'm thinking the Mystic looks more doable. Worried about the ladder on the Creole. It will be 3 months post bilateral knee replacement. My biggest hurdle is standing from a low sitting position. Any suggestions from others that have mobility issues?
Big sale, 20 percent off excursions, not!
mamaday replied to AnJ's topic in Celebrity CruisesI'm searching and have yet to find an excursion on sale. Very frustrating. 😤

Fishing from kayak not for everybody
To the novice, the idea of fishing from a kayak might seem as easy as getting in a boat and casting a line, but hooking a large fish from a very small craft can have its problems. The following tale illustrates just one of those problems.
It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood -- the neighborhood being the lower Housatonic River, just south of the Washington Bridge between Stratford and Milford.
It was my first kayak, a cumbersome two-seat job made by Perception that would have made an acceptable bathtub for a family of five.
I had taken the boat out on the river before, but only to paddle around for exercise and sightseeing tours. The one time I did cast a line, the hook instantly snagged something on the bottom, and with the fast-moving outgoing tide, it was a matter of seconds before the inexorable pull on the kayak had spooled the entire monofilament off the reel. A second later, the arbor knot that held the line to the reel gave way. So much for that kayak fishing trip.
This time, I was determined to do it right. I made sure I had a good set of wire clippers aboard so in case of another snag, I could snip the monofilament before losing all my line.
I set up my shiny, new St. Croix 7-foot, 6-inch spinning rod with a matching Penn reel and selected an assortment of poppers and swimming lures that I hoped would be just what the bluefish and striped bass that had come into the river for the past week were looking for.
It was late September, so the water temperature was starting to drop from the August highs. The big fish were in the river to feed on the bunker (this was a few years ago, when we actually had bunker in the river) in preparation for the soon-to-come migration south.
Slipping on my life jacket, I pushed the kayak into the water at a little-used public boat ramp and started paddling in the middle of the river, where the deep channel ran. I had to paddle almost straight up the river to counteract the pull of the outgoing tidal current. Eventually, I reached a pocket of slower moving water where I clipped a 4-inch silver Creek Chubb popper onto the 6-inch length of bite guard wire attached to a length of 40-pound test mono leader.
I set the paddle down into the boat and started casting as the tide carried the boat toward open water.
With each turn of the reel handle, the popper jerked forward in the water, creating a splash that no self-respecting fish could resist. After the third or fourth cast, the kayak had drifted far enough down river that it was time to paddle back up river lest I end up in Montauk.
I set the rod down in the boat and reached for the paddle. It was at that moment, naturally, that something smashed at the popper that trailed limply behind the boat. I caught a glimpse of the fish as it surfaced to take the popper. It was a large blue that immediately started stripping line off the reel. Dropping the paddle into the boat, I grabbed the rod and started reeling to recover line. I watched as the blue began swimming against the tide, towing me and the kayak behind it. This was a strong fish.
After what seemed like an hour but was probably more like five minutes, the bluefish, tired of towing the kayak, came to the side of the boat. Now the trick was to get the hook out of the fish's mouth (without losing any fingers).
Pinning the rod under my right arm, I reached down and tried to grab the fish under the gills; this action seemed to bring the big fella out of its stupor. With a violent flip of his large tail, the fish broke free of my grasp and sent a geyser of saltwater into my face. The shock of the sudden dousing caused me to raise my right arm, the very arm that held the rod.
The last thing I saw was the rod, the reel and the fish gradually slipping away into the deep. I made one attempt to grab the rod as it went, but I missed, almost capsizing the boat in the process.
Every now and then, I wonder if that big bluefish might still be towing my shiny new rod and reel in some ocean far away. If you find it, let me know.

PRETTY PRAIRIE, Kan. (KSNW) – Reno County District Attorney Keith Schroeder has confirmed the ages of the three of the vandals responsible for nearly destroying the school's band room. Schroeder said the children are eight, 10 and 11 years old
The school disrict's superintendent confirmed earlier this week that the vandals are students at Pretty Prairie and have been suspended from school.
Schroeder said he has no information about a possible fourth vandal. The school said earlier this week that four students were responsible for the vandalism.
Schroeder said the case files will be sealed because the kids are under the age of 14.
He said he cannot speak to whether the children's parents will be responsible for damages if a civil suit is filed.
Schroeder said once he receives all police reports for the case, he will review them for possible charges. Those could be considered as juvenile offender charges or as a Child in Need of Care (CINC) case.
Pretty Prairie school officials and the Reno County Sheriff's Office said the damage to the band room could total as much as $100,000.

The ancient Ganesha idol, allegedly destroyed by the Maoists in Chattisgarh's Dantewada, has been located. The idol which was thrown from a height of 13,000 feet, was found broken in 56 pieces.
The ancient Ganesha idol, allegedly destroyed by the Maoists in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada, has been recovered. The idol which was thrown from a height of 13,000 feet, was found broken in 56 pieces. It was suspected that Maoists had destroyed the thousand-year-old Ganesha statue. The photograph of the place where the Dholkal idol was placed went viral. As per 'Dainik Bhaskar', the statue was found missing first on January 26, when a group of pilgrims visited the place.
The idol was at the height of 13,000 feet in Bastar, which is known for its dense forest. It was discovered by a local journalist in 2012 while exploring the region, after which a huge search operation was carried out by archaeology department.
During the research, it was found out that the idol was made at the time of Nagvanshi dynasty around ninth century AD. Many stone weapons were also discovered in the vicinity, which was seen as sign of early human life. The state of Chhattisgarh is also home to many rock-art paintings which seemed to be among the oldest in the world.
However, the exploration of the state's rich history has largely been hindered due to decades of Maoist insurgency. The left-wing rebels have often been blamed for sabotaging the development of Chhattisgarh, which has also got one of the largest mineral reserves in India.

Framingham Health Board Suspends GCN's Tobacco License For 3 Days For Selling Cigarettes To A Minor
FRAMINGHAM – The Framingham Board of Health voted Monday night, August 13, to suspend the the tobacco license of GCN African Market for three consecutive days, starting Sunday, August 19, after the store sold a pack of a pack of cigarettes to a minor in June. The vote was 4-0.
The Framingham Board of Health also voted to fine the owner $100 for the violation of the City's regulations.
On June 30, a minor purchased Marlboro cigarettes at GCN at 50 Franklin Street.
It was the store's first offense according to Health Director Sam Wong.
The owner said his uncle came to visit him on that day, and he had to got to the bathroom. He said he was just gone for a matter of seconds, but while he was gone, his uncle sold the pack of cigarettes to the minor. The uncle is not an employee.
The store has been in business in Framingham since 2010.
"This is the first time I ever had this problem," said the owner to the Framingham Board of Health, at last night's public hearing.
In Framingham, the minimum age to purchase tobacco is 21. The State recently raise the age in the Commonwealth from 18 to 21, but it has yet to go in effect throughout the Commonwealth.
According to the report, at 11:43 a.m. the minor purchased a pack of Marlboro cigarettes with a $20 bill. No age was asked and No ID was requested.
"I saw the boy just as he was leaving," said the owner at the hearing. "I saw the inspector standing down the street, when I looked out."
The Framingham Board of Health recently updated its regulations. As of July 1, an establishment is fined $300 for a first offense on tobacco, and no longer $100.
Since the violation happened on June 30, the Board agreed to levy a $100 not a $300 fine.
The City's regulation also calls for a 3-day consecutive suspension of the tobacco license.
The store will lose its license August 19-20-21.
GCN African Market was one of three businesses that was caught selling tobacco to a minor as part of a sting in June 2018.

Bennett's speech in Paris misguidedBennett's speech in Paris misguided
By: Sixpence Manyengavana
Posted: Thursday, November 25, 2010 11:40 am
ROY Bennett's speech at the International Association of Political Consultants (IAPC) in Paris, France on 9 November 2010 must be condemned with the contempt it deserves for it lacks merit.
For the record, Zanu-PF was never doubtful about taking part in the February 1980 elections as Bennett would want the world to believe when he mentioned in his speech that Zanu's leaders were deeply skeptical about participating in elections because it believed they would be rigged against them.
At that time it was obvious the party had the support of the majority of citizens guaranteeing a landslide victory, which is why Bennett and his other ex-Rhodie colleagues defected to Zanu-PF.
As a reminder, Bennett is one of the ex-Rhodesians who benefited from the extended hand of reconciliation by President Mugabe at Independence; as such he had every reason to support Zanu-PF.
Before independence, Bennett was a member of the notorious Selous Scouts, a Special Forces regiment of the Rhodesian Army that operated from 1973 until 1980. They were trained to kill and maim and were the most feared ruthless force in Africa.
The Selous Scouts killed refugees, men, women and children at Chimoio, Tembue, Mkushi, Luangwa and Solwezi bases where the bodies were buried in mass graves.
Bennett was also a policeman in the Smith regime protecting minority interests.
Bennett and David Coltart both served in the British South Africa Police (BSAP) founded by Cecil John Rhodes. That force tortured captured freedom fighters from Zanla and Zipra camps.
Between 1980 and just before 2000, Bennett was not only a staunch supporter of Zanu-PF, but served as Member of Parliament for Chimanimani constituency who enjoyed popular support from black people whom his kith and kin terrorized during his time with the Rhodesian Forces.
If Zanu-PF was as bad since 1980 as he alleges, would he have joined it and served as a legislator?
The rural folk were never brutalized nor terrorized to vote for Zanu-PF. It was known that the party is the one that brought freedom from the enslaving colonial white minority as the freedom fighters worked hand in glove with them.
Who, in their right state of political alertness, would believe lies manufactured by a fugitive who is running away from a myriad of crimes he committed in this country?
Bennett's allegations about the rural populace being intimidated to vote for Zanu-PF are a result of his guilty conscience stemming from the atrocities Selous Scouts committed.
On the issue of the training and deployment of Gukurahundi in Matabeleland in 1983, Bennett is trying to hide behind a finger.
The exercise was not meant to be ethnic cleansing or impulsive killing as he alleges.
Zanla and Zipra fought side by side, fighting Bennett and his colleagues who were arrogantly refusing to set the blacks free.
Bennett finds it easy to meander behind the truth and allege that after successfully defeating the colonial powers, Zanu-PF decided to wipe out the Ndebele Tribe.
Why does he find it difficult to tell the truth? Who doesn't know that Gukurahundi was deployed in the Southern region of Zimbabwe in response to atrocious activities by the notorious "dissidents?"
The Government could not sit and watch while former Zipra combatants butcher their kinsfolk in a clear case of systematic use of violence and intimidation by armed combatants on defenseless innocent civilians to provoke government response by some political stalwarts who had grievances stemming from governance issues.
Dissidents were created to cause commotion in Matabeleland. This was a well calculated move meant to create an ungovernable situation and cause problems for the Zanu-PF government, so there was no other way to solve the crisis except military intervention.
The implementation of land reform programme is not a political gimmick as alleged by Bennett. Land is our heritage and it is because of land that the war of liberation was waged.
It was going to make a mockery of the war of liberation if government had not redistributed land to the landless majority after winning that war.
Bennett's allegations have been specially crafted to attract sympathy from the country's detractors. The tone in his speech reflects the stress he is suffering especially after his nomination to occupy the Deputy Agriculture portfolio was rejected by President Mugabe.
Morgan Tsvangirai's hand-picking of Bennett to take the agriculture portfolio was not by coincidence. His motives to reverse the land reform programme have been thwarted in their infancy.
This has infuriated MDC-T which had promised former white commercial farmers their land back hence all these futile attempts to discredit President Mugabe and Zanu-PF on the international fora.
Bennett's speech was accompanied by a collection of gruesome pictures of people he purports were maimed by security agents in Zimbabwe. The people in the pictures cannot be identified which means that he could have taken pictures from any conflict in an effort to authenticate his allegations.
Shame on him.

Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 9
By Anvar Mammadov – Trend:
The price of OPEC basket of fourteen crudes stood at $53.5 a barrel on Jan. 6, which is $0.48 more than on Jan. 5, the cartel told Trend Jan. 9.
The new OPEC Reference Basket of Crudes (ORB) is made up of the following: Saharan Blend (Algeria), Girassol (Angola), Oriente (Ecuador), Rabi Light (Gabon), Minas (Indonesia), Iran Heavy (Islamic Republic of Iran), Basra Light (Iraq), Kuwait Export (Kuwait), Es Sider (Libya), Bonny Light (Nigeria), Qatar Marine (Qatar), Arab Light (Saudi Arabia), Murban (UAE) and Merey (Venezuela).
World oil prices are decreasing on Jan. 9 amid the fears that in conditions of export increase from Iran, Libya, as well as the growth in activity of shale oil producers, OPEC's efforts to balance the market will have a limited effect, according to the trading data.
The price of March futures for Brent crude oil decreased by 0.84 percent and stood at $56.62 per barrel as of 13:16 (GMT +4). This is while the price of February futures for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil fell by 0.81 percent to $53.55 per barrel.

Rising water levels on Lake Ontario have caused damage along the Pickering waterfront.
The boardwalk is warped, the playground at Frenchman's Bay is going to have to be dismantled and moved to a new location and there's also little left of the beach.
Ward 1 Coun. Maurice Brenner says the city has spent about $10 million on the waterfront over the last 20 years.
He says the damage has forced the city into looking for a new plan for the future.
"This park belongs to everybody. It's a nautical village, it's a community hub, it's a destination point and it's a tourist attraction — and it's been lost so we just got to find a better way and a new way to bring it back," said Brenner.
He adds that there is going to be a motion presented at the next council meeting aimed at creating a new, more sustainable plan for the waterfront and the park.

Astro Clash 2.0 full review
The lightweight nature of the iPhone, and the accessible coding environment makes it idea for revisiting arcade classics. Astro Clash, by Jaylord Systems, is one such game, recreating Asteroids on the iPhone and iPad.
Gameplay will be familiar to those who played the original, you rotate your ship left and right, a thrust button enables you to move and a fire button emits shots. The aim is to clear the screen of the floating asteroid rocks (these split into smaller rocks, before being shot into oblivion).
You also get a bomb that smashes nearby rocks, and a temporary shield. Sometimes broken rocks leave replacement bombs and sheilds for you to pick up.
Astro Clash is one of the more faithful recreations, featuring the same vector-style graphics of the original. Most of the other Asteroids games have updated graphics, and controls, which we think diminishes the experience somewhat.
Astro Clash is much better, but not perfect to the original though. Shots only fire for a short distance, so you can't pick of rocks from a distance. And instead of suffering instant death upon collision with a rock, you lose energy (and die when too much energy is gone).
While this makes for a more modern and accessible game, Asterioids purists will wince at deviations from the classic. It's nice to see it cross-compatible with both iPhone and iPad as well.

Colossians 3:15
It's not always easy to remain calm in the midst of a trial or tribulation. In fact, that's usually the last thing we are capable of doing. But God constantly reminds us that he is with us each and every day and that he never forsaken us, especially when we are going through a rough time. Although it may seem like there is no exit, we will trust in God and know that he is working in our midst. All we can do is ask for his incomparable peace to fill us and dwell in us.
Read the entire chapter:
Colossians 3
Lord, fill us with the peace that only you can provide so that we can overcome any obstacles coming our way. We thank you for goodness shown to us each and every day.
In Jesus name, Amen.
Have a blessed day loves!

More information about Peter Bjorn And John tickets
8th August 2018 - New York, NY - Peter Bjorn and John return with their eighth full-length studio album this fall when they release Darker Days on October 19th. Written almost immediately after the release of 2016's Breakin' Point, the band decided to strip away the noise and take it back to a simpler time where it was just the three of them, playing music together and releasing albums every other year. The 11 songs on Darker Days reflect this move, showcasing each member's unique songwriting style while sounding resolutely like a band that has played together for nearly 20 years.
Darker Days got its start at Stockholm's Atlantis Studios where the band laid down basic tracks, agreed on the album title and then went off to finish the songs. The title was the starting point and became the central theme of the album, with each member bringing their interpretation into the studio and playing on each other's songs. Each member's take on darkness is distinctive, Peter tackling what's happening in the world right now, Bjorn delving into relationship issues and John, the most existential, exploring the shadows of our own psyche.
Connected by the central theme and musicians, Darker Days is composed and simple. That goes for the cover art too which features three bones broken to make a complete triangle. Peter Morén, Björn Yttling and John Eriksson are three musicians with an undeniable chemistry that comes from nearly two decades of making music together and the trio create a sound that is intrinsically Peter Bjorn and John.
Along with announcing the release of their eighth full-length studio album - Darker Days, Peter Bjorn and John are also thrilled to announce that they'll be returning to the US this coming winter for a tour in addition to several previously announced European dates this fall.

Music & Nightlife
Deja Vu: Acts perform classic albums in concert
Play it again, Sam. The whole album, please — and in order.
An unmistakable trend in concert-going is the growing number of acts performing their classic albums in full. Part marketing gimmick, part an act of nostalgia, the performances are above all communal celebrations of the album as an art form.
The album is being feted just as — thanks to iPods and MP3s — its demise is being portended.
To quote the Marvin Gaye album, "What's going on?"
At July's Pitchfork Festival in Chicago, Public Enemy performed 1988's hip-hop classic "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back," Sebadoh played their 1993 lo-fi indie favorite "Bubble and Scrape" and Mission of Burma trotted out their 1982 post-punk full-length "Vs."
Earlier this year at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in California, Roger Waters played the Pink Floyd classic "Dark Side of the Moon" as his second set.
All of these concerts follow other album performances by Jay-Z, Lucinda Williams, Sonic Youth, Wilco, Slint, Iron Maiden and GZA over the last two years.
As she did earlier this year, Liz Phair will play her landmark 1993 debut, "Exile in Guyville," in three shows later this month to coincide with a rerelease of the disc, commemorating its 15-year anniversary.
The concerts can be meaningful experiences for both artist and listener. The audience gets to hear the music exactly as they digested it — and perhaps grew to love it.
"We're all coming there with a kind of expectation," said Phair. "It's the kind of show you have to bring something to. You can't just come and sit back and let it happen. You have to bring your memories. You have to bring your 1993 self."
The trend is even visible in movie theaters. Currently playing in select theaters is Julian Schnabel's concert film of Lou Reed performing his 1973 album, "Berlin." Reed also did a tour of "Berlin" last year.
Though Reed did the shows on his own, it was Barry Hogan who first suggested the idea to him. Hogan is a London-based concert promoter for All Tomorrow's Parties, a festival whose "Don't Look Back" series has been the trendsetter in getting bands to play their classic albums.
In its inaugural year in 2006, albums were performed by the Stooges ("Funhouse"), Gang of Four ("Entertainment!"), Belle & Sebastian ("If You're Feeling Sinister"), Cat Power ("The Covers Record") and Dinosaur Jr. ("You're Living All Over Me").
"When you first mention it to artists, a lot of them, their initial reaction is, `What's wrong with our new stuff?"' said Hogan.
But they've been quicker to come around to the idea, said Hogan. At the ATP festival Aug. 19-21 in the Catskills in upstate New York, Built to Spill, the Meat Puppets, Tortoise and Thurston Moore will all perform albums in full.
"Some people mistake what we're doing with 'Don't Look Back' that we're just trying to be quite retro," said Hogan. "It's more a case of we're celebrating the album."
Though acts reach back into their catalog during a typical performance, many musicians never perform more than a handful of songs from an album. "Guyville," after all, is 18 songs long. But it was composed as a cohesive artistic statement — a kind of song-by-song feminist response to another great album, the Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main Street."
"After every single record I've finished, I've said in my own head or to other people, `Wouldn't it be great if we could just go out and perform it top to bottom?"' said Phair. "As I perform the songs, I had the time and focus to really think about what I was thinking about when I wrote that song."
Too much reflection, though, can stunt anyone's creativity. Built to Spill is currently recording a new album in Los Angeles, so lead singer and guitarist Doug Martsch was hesitant to perform their 1997 album, "Perfect From Now On," which will be the focus of their tour this fall.
"I put off listening to the album for a long time," said Martsch. "The first time I tried to listen to it, I couldn't even make it all the way through it. It was kind of boring to me. But after a few listens, it grew on me."
Built to Spill always works in a lot of songs from its catalog in its live show, but the band leaves room for improvisation, frequently jamming layered guitar solos. So many of the songs from "Perfect From Now On" have changed since they recorded them.
"We're trying to get it back to sounding like the record," said Martsch. "Even the songs that we've been playing, it's relearning those."
He added: "I'm looking forward to a whole tour of not having to make any set lists."
Wanting to expand her set lists was a major factor in Lucinda Williams' decision to perform five of her albums — 2003's "World Without Tears," 2001's "Essence," 1998's "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road," 1990's "Sweet Old World" and 1988's self-titled disc — in five nights in both New York and Los Angeles last fall.
"I have such a huge catalog now, that I don't get to play a lot of the songs," said the singer-songwriter. "And I miss a lot of them. We only have so much room in the set. I loved the idea because it kind of satisfied my need to get all those songs out again."
Williams recalls the evenings having an "emotional impact" — as well as scrambling backstage in between sets to remember lyrics and harmonies to old, seldom played songs.
The appeal of performing an album in concert is obvious to many acts because they feel similarly about their favorite LPs.
Williams would love to see Bob Dylan play "Highway 61 Revisited" or "Blonde on Blonde" — albums that were formative for her. Martsch liked the idea when he heard that Sonic Youth was performing "Daydream Nation."
Asked what album she'd most like to hear performed live, Phair, fittingly, answered "Exile on Main Street."
She maintains the staying power of the album as an art form: "Artists will always want to put together a masterwork," said Phair. "You just have more to say."
