West must rethink anti-terrorism strategies: Miliband
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband says the Western world needs to rethink its strategy on how to combat terrorism.
Mr Miliband says the present strategy has been dangerously counterproductive, helping otherwise disparate groups find common cause against the West.
He says the correct response to the threat is to champion the rule of law and human rights, not subordinate them.
Mr Miliband made his comments before arriving in India on the most high-profile diplomatic visit to the country since last November's Mumbai terrorist attacks.

Birthdays are fun but they are always a little disappointing. You'd think after 32 years, I would realize nothing miraculous happens simply beacause it's the day I was born … But, while my husband is always sweet and friends and family make the extra effort to call or spend time with me, somebody needs to tell my kids that they should be extra nice to each other and to me today!
Anyway, I am looking forward to a night without them and a trip to the movies. I am like a little kid at the big screen because it's such a novelty now that we have two children. When we saw Transformers many months ago, I was in awe of how BIG the sound and colors were on the screen. And even just having the bucket of movie popcorn (with lots of butter!) in my lap is all part of the experience. It helps, I guess, that we've been going to the AMC 30 in Barrington, which has extra large theaters and screens with stadium seating and comfy seats. We've become so used to renting movies at home that I didn't realize what I was missing out on. But then I know I didn't appreciate it so much when we were at the movies every weekend either! So, take a new perspective next time you go, and enjoy it like a little kid would (well, not too little, you don't want to be squirrly)!

Of course what they say there about humans preferring nuts to fruits is complete nonsense as all of us can taste today, and it's terrible they are so blind. However they say that the fruit hasn't changed much, while vegetables etc. have changed a lot and they can't figure out why! Clearly humans and apes have ALWAYS selected fruits to eat and much less for vegetables so there was always primate "selection" in progress for fruit. Not to condone artificial selection in fruit but it's still never as bad as in vegetables.

In answer to your question/comparison of orphaned children & dogs.. Orphaned children are not bred for profit, as are dogs, so it is not like you are supporting an immoral trade by adopting an orphaned child. For sure, the fact that "unwanted" children are conceived is disturbing too, but the dog/pet dilemma is different as animals are clearly bred for profit and financial gain.

The fact that humans also receive unfair treatment is completely separate to the fact that dogs do.. neither ultimately should be, and supposing that because humans are, this somehow justifies that dogs also should be, is strange logic. That a dog "feels free" to bite you is hardly the kind of freedom I am talking of. Dogs are just a neurotic demented version of what they once were as a species, and sure, there can be a certain amount of freedom for them, but not complete autonomy, which is what all beings deserve. I don't believe we really learn anything deep from them, sure every being can teach another, a slave owner can learn from the slave too.. and in some cases maybe have a friendship with them, but that does not alter the situation.. We stand to learn more from observing wild animal interaction.. but ultimately it is we as a species that should be teaching.. that we should be the role models..

As for laws and regulations.. the RSPCA exists already to ensure fair treatment of pets.. it is a farce though, making us think we are in some way fair to animals, when clearly we are not seeing the full picture, and countless billions of other animals not bred for family entertainment, are treated abominably..

So much essential information and inspirational thinking, everyone in the world would benefit reading this book. It must be said I don't agree with everything in it and I'm not vegetarian for various reasons, but other than that I find it highly illuminating, interesting and informative. I like it how for claims such as riding on a horse's back, you don't just reject them out of hand but go and actively search to see if it could be true. I find durianrider and freelee to be such pretenders and ridiculous by comparison.

There are so many questions I have. For example you say that rescuing dogs is a bad idea because something like you think in some ways it may legitimize the pet trade. However what is your view on the adoption of orphaned children? Isn't the breeding of humans and putting them in their boxes cruel also?

I realize 95%+ dogs are treated horribly.... but aren't 99%+ of humans treated horribly also? We're all victims, compared to what it should be. Some pets do have freedom... my old family dog had no problem showing aggression and biting if anyone crossed or annoyed him in a bad way. This is how you knew his feelings were genuine when he licked and was so happy to see you. I would say that I learned more from him than any human. Animals aren't infected and damaged by things such as language, they just follow their heart and instinct. Why is it such a bad thing for comparatively sick individuals like us to try to learn from them? After all, we probably do have the ability to make a greater difference in this world the healthier we are. I find this a fascinating issue and am neither for or against the ability for someone to keep pets that are treated very well. I would be in favour of laws and regulations making sure pets are treated as well as human beings.

I've read about half . . . looking forward to the weekend when I can really indulge myself. : ) I will definitely be buying more copies to give as gifts.

It is quite thought-provoking on many issues and I do need this challenge in some areas where I am not quite living up to my own beliefs. It's not so easy to break away from conventional thinking and modern society, as much as one wishes they could. It's very inspiring the way you have forged your own path and I look forward to your autobiography which will perhaps shed light on the more personal aspects of your transformation and journey.

But for now I am very happy to read your logical conclusions and hopes and dreams. Very well done, friend! You can be proud of this creation! Many thanks for sharing your thoughts and wisdom!!!

I am grateful you are here. The world needs you. ♥

Love,

Low transparency, low regulation online political ads skyrocket
March 7, 2018 | Digital advertising has been thrust into the spotlight as more information comes out about Russia's use of digital ads in the 2016 election, a strategy Facebook executive Rob Goldman believes "stoked fear and hatred amongst Americans."
The effect of congressional retirements

Trump's top donors: Where are they now?
January 18, 2018 | President Donald Trump's inauguration broke records – not in turnout, but in inaugural donations. The Center for Responsive Politics assessed Trump's relationships with his top donors one year later.
Web of secret money hides one mega-donor funding conservative court
November 21, 2017 | When a small nonprofit called the Judicial Crisis Network poured millions into a campaign to stop the Senate from confirming Barack Obama's Supreme Court pick last year, and then spent millions more supporting President Donald Trump's choice for the same seat, political observers assumed conservatives from around the country were showering the group with donations.
Congress holds hearings on online political ads
October 31, 2017 | Representatives from Twitter, Facebook and Google are expected to testify this week at three congressional hearings on the influence of social media in the 2016 election. Today's hearing before the Senate judiciary committee and tomorrow's hearings before the Senate and House intelligence committees follow the introduction of the Honest Ads Act, which would require companies, such as…
Why some campaign contributions get returned
October 10, 2017 | It's been a big week for politicians refunding tainted campaign donations. First, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. returned a $32,000 contribution from Donald Trump's personal attorney Marc Kasowitz, who made the donation in 2013 after Vance decided not to pursue a fraud investigation against Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. Now, at least a…
Which states will break spending records this cycle?
September 25, 2017 | This month's special Senate election in Alabama has already been the target of more outside spending than any congressional race in the state's history. By the time the final FEC reports are filed, it will likely be the state's record-holder in candidate spending, too. In 2016, nine states saw their most expensive congressional election ever.…
Your summer vacation: Democratic or Republican?
June 8, 2017 | The Trump International Hotel in Washington may have raked in the profits during the inauguration festivities — and ever since, come to think of it. But for most in the lodging and tourism industry, high season is just gearing up. It's a set of interests that was exceptionally involved in politics during the past two…
Release of ethics waivers still problematic
June 5, 2017 | After a standoff with the Office of Government Ethics over whether the White House had to disclose ethics waivers given to White House staff members, the Trump administration blinked first. On May 31st, the administration disclosed that it has issued 14 waivers — more than four times the amount Barack Obama granted during his first…
Biden's new PAC could be a signal…or not
June 1, 2017 | Remember when we told you super PACs are already gearing up for 2018, and even in some cases 2020? Looks like a potential challenger to President Donald Trump is also stocking a warchest more than three years in advance: former Vice President Joe Biden.

Hi there.
I'm currently killing time in the office; it's the payroll Christmas meal tonight, so I don't need to cook, and it's not worth going home as I've a choir rehearsal before that. Should be a fun evening, though I'm rather tired, and I must not be persuaded to go clubbing. Much as I'm looking forward to home at Christmas, it's a pity I won't get to sing all of the cool Christmas pieces that we're currently rehearsing at Sacred Heart.
Today has been ooooooooooooooooooookay. Had a rather depressing week due to various things, which, though not hunky dory, are now in a much better state than they were earlier, so I'm fairly content. Work is odd - my allocation of it has largely disappeared, so I'm doing other peoples' work and checking the work of others too. Most unusual.
No. Christmas. Shopping. Done. Whatsoever. Need to think about it - browsing just doesn't seem to work. Anyway, my Amazon wishlist is still here. Also, I think it would be pretty damn cool to have a phone with a loudspeaker so as to include more people in a conversation, and I told Mum of some other CDs that I would rather like. Yesterday Monica and I tried Christmas shopping, but all we got were some cards and a complete Winnie-the-Pooh.
Monica made me an advent calendar; she's great. She even said she liked some beer the other day - egad. Plus, it seems that she brings out my ability to cook fine omlettes, which can't be a bad trait in a ragazza.
I note with interest that The JCB Song is doing the rounds again. Are they aiming for a Christmas number one? Surely not. There's also a song that keeps cropping up on our local news, one which a Mum co-wrote with Billy Bragg for her daughter - wonder if that's in with a shot... it's not inconceivable that it could go national.
Apparently one of our managers bumped into the new Bishop of Crediton t'other day. Suspect he must be an independent church type, 'cos he didn't get episcopal vibes from the purple shirt. I suspect Crediton is an Anglican bishopric, but I'm not sure; Chris is Mr. Plymouth and there's a chuffing great Cathedral in Exeter...

Before I begin today's topic, let me take a moment to discuss the two types of feedback I receive from readers.
The first inevitably begins with, "I've been meaning to write and tell you …" These letters are always positive. In general, people are not in a rush to tell you good news. I like to imagine these readers walking around the streets of Bangor and Brunswick, randomly thinking to themselves, "Gosh, I should remember to write to Sarah Smiley and tell her that I enjoy her column." In that case, my e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Then there are the other readers. They slam down their newspaper and coffee mug, arcs of hot liquid splattering their hands and breakfast, and run from the kitchen table to their computer just to tell me how much they hate me. These readers haven't given much thought to their feedback. They use profanity and faulty arguments. Often it is obvious that they didn't finish the column. For these readers, my e-mail address is email@example.com.
In any case, today's column will make the second type of reader ready to pounce. Exhibit A will be the online message boards where you might read their posts and wonder whether they have read the same column that you did. (Answer: maybe not. They could read the phone book and still believe it proves that I don't like my children.) Exhibit B will be when these readers tell me to move back to Florida. That's when you'll know that they didn't read the whole thing. Feel free to tell them that.
So anyway, last week I explained how unprepared my family was for our first winter in Maine. We didn't even put away our patio furniture or place wooden teepees over our bushes. I remember watching a neighbor rake his roof one cold morning while Dustin and I were still in our pajamas. Dustin stood at the window with his coffee. "Our neighbor must really like a clean roof," Dustin said. We both laughed. Then we went back to the family room to watch television.
A few weeks later, we learned (the hard way) about ice dams.
Resting is not an option in Maine. You have to work (i.e., shovel the sidewalk and plow the driveway) before you can even get out the door to go to work. I'm sure it qualifies as aerobic activity to put three children in mittens, hats and snow boots, AND get them to school on time. Even throwing out your trash isn't as simple as hurling the bag over your shoulder and stuffing it into the garbage can. If the lid is frozen, you have to chip away at the ice first. I couldn't get into my car last year without blowing hot air on the keyhole (followed by stomping my feet and kicking the tires when the door was still frozen shut and the kids were 10 minutes late for school).
Mainers are accustomed to this kind of life. Being "from away," I once felt sorry about the gravestones at Mount Hope Cemetery that have been clobbered with snow. People spend their whole lives shoveling the snow, wiping it from their windshield, and raking it off their roof. Then, at the end, they are buried in it. One Maine winter later, however, I know that graves covered with snow — the last round with Old Man Winter — might be considered a badge of honor for Mainers, who even in death don't expect the easy way out.
This is 180 degrees from the attitude of Floridians, where, aside from the occasional hurricane and rogue snake, life is pretty darn easy. In Florida, not only do most people have a pool, they also have large screen enclosures (the first thing to blow away in a hurricane, by the way) built around them to keep the bugs and most of the heat and sun out. Entire neighborhoods are developed around golf courses. (When we lived on the 17th hole of one such course, I saw golfers who were too hot to push their own carts, so they used remote controls.)
And the beach is at the center of everyone's life. You don't winterize your house or lawn in Florida, and the only time you go onto your roof is to jump from it into the pool (not recommended).
I see now that Florida — and in particular, beach towns — can effortlessly (pun intended) breed laziness. There is no rush. No deadline. No sense of battling the elements on a regular basis. (Granted, some Florida roaches can be killed only with the most aggressive Ultimate Fighting techniques, and maybe a shotgun, but still.)
At first I was shocked by the amount of work required to live in Maine. Now I couldn't imagine raising my boys in any other environment. I mean, how can people know true relaxation if they've never had to shovel snow for two hours before going to work? How can you enjoy the warmth if you've never felt the chill? I don't think it's possible, and that's why, if given the choice between Florida and Maine, I will always choose the latter.

Team Stats
Ground Balls
Face Offs Won
Man Up
(CLEVELAND) – The Walsh men's lacrosse team traveled up I-77 to take on Division I Cleveland State at Krenzler Field, but were defeated by a score of 13-7. The Cavaliers (1-11) rallied for six goals late in the game, but it wasn't enough to come back from the early onslaught by the Vikings (4-8).
The Maroon and Gold were held scoreless until the second quarter when Nicholas Castorf scored off an assist from Ryan Martin to make the score 4-1. After that, it wouldn't be until the fourth quarter when the Cavs scored again.
Bryan Crim started the late rally with a power play goal on another Martin assist. It started a string of three goals scored in just 76 seconds with Zach Macaluso and Martin also scoring.
Crim added one more while Benjamin Suchomma added the final two goals for the Cavs.
Dylan Ciolino reached double digits in saves once again with 15 on 47 shots faced. Mark Guzik added seven ground balls to also help the Cavs on the defensive front.
Walsh will return home to take on new conference rival Davis & Elkins on Tuesday afternoon at 4 p.m.

"I am like Martin Luther King. I had a dream, and it was a good one," says Enrico Dini, with a chuckle. "One night in 2004, I couldn't sleep and I had this vision of what 3D printing could do. It was a dream of beauty. Beauty, you see, is the essence of life. It is not an option, it is everything."
Dini, as you might have guessed, is Italian. And as he tells me about beauty in his thick accent, I find myself rapturously agreeing with everything he says. Sure, his voice is rather intoxicating, but so is his vision for the future. Dini's mission to use local, natural materials such as sand, powdered stone and lunar dust (more on that later) in 3D printing has the very real potential to improve not only the human but also the natural world.
Dini began his career as a marine and then civil engineer but 10 years ago he left his stable job to create D-Shape, a printer that builds full-scale sandstone buildings — and a lot more. "When I began, my focus was to make social housing more beautiful," says Dini. "I wanted to change the relief and the model of these concrete blocks in Europe so that they could be unique and beautiful in their own way. Just because people are poor, doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to live somewhere aesthetically pleasing."
At first, Dini was concentrating purely on human structures, but a conversation with an Australian marine biologist changed all that. "I was talking to him about the fish tanks I wanted to build, when he suggested I think bigger," he says. "Forget the fish tanks and make some artificial coral to help rebuild our depleted fish stocks. Now I am an inventor, which means I give even the craziest ideas some consideration. So I put the phone down, thought about it all night, and realised this would be my new mission. I would print houses for fish."
Dini spent the next few years perfecting a technique for moulding lifelike coral reefs from sand using his vast D-Shape machine. He and his team dredge sand and sludge from the seabed along the coast, dry it in the sun, and fold it through D-Shape to print the natural curves of a reef. Once this has been done, it is placed back in the same seabed where it replaces destroyed or damaged coral. "We've already made a lot of coral and we have proven the technique can work," he says. "Our coral is more like a stone object full of cavities. Like a resort for fish. And what is incredible is that the fish are immediately attracted to the more aesthetically pleasing designs. Everyone likes beauty, you see."
Dini's next project is to 'green' the desert. Searching for a solution to the growing problem of overpopulation, Dini realised that instead of chopping down rainforests to make space for humans, we should start living in parts of the world with less natural life to destroy, i.e. the desert. "We are currently
making bigger and bigger cities, but I propose we make new kinds of cities," he says. "We have several million square kilometres of desert that could become useful when we have a population of 13 billion."
This project has the potential to attract a lot of funding and the governments of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are unsurprisingly already very interested in his plan, but how exactly will Dini make abundant plant life in a place where currently there is none? "Well I will create trees and leaves, like elsewhere in the natural world," he says, as if the answer should have been obvious. And Dini's does concept borrow heavily from mother nature. He will build 30m-tall artificial trees, the height and width of baobabs, a few feet apart from each other. They will have vast interlocking carbon-fibre leaves that will create a kind of canopy that produces energy and reduces water loss through evaporation and thus allows life to flourish on the desert floor for the first time. "It is not a difficult concept," says Dini. "All it takes is a little imagination."
Imagination is one thing Dini has in spades. Other 3D printing projects he is working on include houses made out of sand in Mozambique, a Gaudí-inspired bridge in Barcelona and, most impressive of all, buildings on the moon using lunar dust. And the latter is not just a pipe dream, Dini and the architect Norman Foster have already created the 3D printer that could be shipped and used in outer space.
"At first people were sceptical of my ideas, and that is normal," he says. "But now they are starting to realise that 3D printing could be the key to solving some of the mess we have created on Earth. It is taking us into the future and that is a beautiful thing."

It is especially helpful if your Sun is a water sign.
If you have a small decorative fountain, you can use that.
If you don't make your own in your kitchen sink by stacking a cup and saucer over a soup bowl on top of a plate.
Put stones in the cup, on the saucer, and on the plate.
Invite Branwen or the sea spirit of your choice to join you.
Run the water, and listen to the rhythms of the water.
After awhile, start humming or singing along, or counterpoint the rhythm by tapping on the counter or edge of the sink.
Go with the flow, and let the water wash your blues away!
*brightest blessings!!*

Sibling Love
"I have two baby sisters! TWO of them!!!" he told everyone at the hospital...
"Mama when do I get another sister?" he asks me every couple days...
"Where's my brother?" he asks on the other days...
"I'm a great big brother, right Mama?"
Oh, yes, Sweetheart, you are.
And I'm so grateful for my three kiddos, for the relationships they share, and the fact that I've given them siblings to love and cherish...
Sibling love is a sweet thing to see.

Who here owns the special edition DVD? Or a copy of the screenplay? I need to recheck the lines in one of the deleted scenes, and my DVD is the crappy single-disc one that doesn't have them.
Remember the scene where Avi and Bullet-Tooth Tony visit Brick Top and his cronies? I need to know the exact words to Tony and Errol's dialogue. This might be a tad difficult because the DVD apparently doesn't give subtitles for the deleted scenes, and granted, the accents aren't an obstacle, but the guys are freakin' MUMBLING in that part. Anyone able to help me out here?

This is a somewhat stressful time for me as I transition back to work after being on FMLA since October. Dan is staying home as a full-time Dad and we feel very blessed to be able to have this arrangement. I am faced with finding a new role within the company I work for, I remain optimistic the right opportunity will come along soon, but of course there is some anxiety. I am also determined to let this year be my year to take more risks in my real estate development business, and possibly invest in a franchise. I always say two things:

I also haven't posted about the pooches recently. but we love them as much as ever. They are adjusting pretty well to Dominic but they miss all the snuggle time we used to share. Dan and I don't sit still long enough anymore to snuggle, Dominic has us on the go so much. Brody turned 4 on December 26 and Katie and Alfie will turn 4 in February (Alfie on the 4th and Katie on the 23rd). I think we will have our annual party for them in a few weeks, they are so special to us and we are so blessed to have them in our lives.
I really felt compelled to post tonight because our dear friends Donna and Joe are in China right now to pick up their daughter Lauren (http://waitingforlaurenelizabeth.blogspot.com/). She is days younger than Dominic and I know they will be playmates since they live pretty close to us. Donna is an awesome blogger and I feel like I am experiencing her journey first hand. I just cry with joy when I read about her excitement and I yearn for the time when it will be our turn.
I think of our daughter from China so often and will never give up on bringing her home. I am watching the matches like a hawk in these first few months of 2009 because the orphanage fees have increased and that should help speed things up. I pray this is true! Poor Dan is like a deer in the headlights when I mention we may go to China this year, he just kind of mumbles "huh?" It will be fun, and although it's hard to wait and wait, it is also fun to anticipate her arrival.
So Happy 2009 to everyone, may this year be one of risk taking and positive thinking!

October 24, 1978
Paul J. BAKER et al., Plaintiffs,
NEWSPAPER AND GRAPHIC COMMUNICATIONS UNION, LOCAL 6, et al., Defendants
The opinion of the court was delivered by: OBERDORFER
Plaintiffs, pressmen employed by the Evening Star Newspaper Co. (the Star), are members of Local 6 (the Local) of the International Printing and Graphic Communications Union (the International). Plaintiffs bring this suit against the unions and the Star alleging violation of their federal rights to fair representation in collective bargaining based on 29 U.S.C. § 159(a), and to free speech and participation in connection with union business meetings, based on 29 U.S.C. § 411.
The dispute concerns the status of the plaintiff pressmen in relation to stereotypers employed by the Star, as that status was affected by an agreement bargained between the Local and the Star in 1976. That agreement provided, among other things, that the Star would close its separate stereotyping department and would "dovetail" stereotypers and pressmen so that thereafter they would all be ranked in the pressroom for purposes of priorities by seniority, without distinction between stereotypers and pressmen. Plaintiffs claim that this agreement to dovetail stereotypers and pressmen violated rights guaranteed to pressmen by 1973 agreements which merged unions representing stereotypers into unions representing pressmen. According to plaintiffs these merger agreements and the permanent charters which implemented them required that whenever a publisher converted one method of printing into another method those journeymen working in the department being displaced would have an opportunity to be retrained and to enter the surviving department, but only on an "endtailed" status, i. e., senior to persons coming into the surviving department from the outside, but junior to the most junior journeymen at work in that department.
Plaintiffs claim that these union merger agreements required that all stereotypers displaced when the Star closed its stereotype department be relegated to the bottom of the pressroom priority list. If stereotypers had been so "endtailed" instead of being "dovetailed" as agreed to in 1976 by the Local and the Star, plaintiffs would enjoy a higher priority than they do now with respect to choice work assignments and job protection in the event of lay-offs.
The Court concluded earlier that it has jurisdiction over the plaintiffs' complaint and denied defendants' motions to dismiss it, based upon 29 U.S.C. §§ 301, 401. The case is now before the Court on defendants' motions for summary judgment and plaintiffs' motion for a partial one. On the basis of facts established by the parties' statements of material facts and genuine issues and by undisputed documentary evidence, the Court concludes that there was no actionable violation of the endtailing provisions of the union merger agreements and that there was, therefore, no violation of plaintiffs' right to fair representation. Nor is there any factual or legal basis for the plaintiffs' claim that their rights to free speech and participation under 29 U.S.C. § 411 were violated. The findings of fact and conclusions of law which lead to these decisions follow.
II. Findings of Fact
1. In 1970 the Star obtained National Labor Relations Board approval of its decision to assign to the Photo Engravers Union some of the tasks theretofore performed by members of the then Stereotypers Union. Washington, D.C. Stereotypers Union No. 19, 181 NLRB 784 (1970). This NLRB approval was based in part upon the Star's representation that it would guarantee all stereotypers then in its employ an opportunity to work "until retirement or the occurrence of some other natural contingency" so that the reduction in force would be accomplished by "attrition." Id. at 787, 788, 789. The Star, through its Director of Industrial Relations, Harold Boyd, made a similar representation to David Barr, attorney for the Stereotypers Union (letter of April 25, 1969, ex. 1 to Defendant Star's Memorandum In Support of Its Motion for Summary Judgment.)
2. The 1973 agreement effecting the national merger of the Stereotypers' Union and the Pressmens' Union provided among other things that:
(a) "Where there is a loss of journeymen jobs because of a conversion (for example, letterpress to offset) the journeymen members within the plant who are displaced because of such conversion and willing to retrain will be given such an opportunity before new journeymen . . . are employed.
(b) The merger would not "affect, interfere with or change the continuing status or rights, duties and obligations (of either union) with respect to third parties (and would not) impair or otherwise affect . . . the rights and obligations of any local . . . under and pursuant to any collective bargaining agreement . . ."
3. The Constitution and Laws of the International formed by the merger provided that, among other things:
(a) Lay-offs would be effected by reverse seniority (last hired, first fired).
(b) "Priority shall be maintained in the operation of any sub-line and also in filling regular positions from such sub-line."
(c) "Local unions shall establish regulations permitting a (priority) holder to engage in pursuits or gainful occupation other than that in which priority is held without loss of situation or priority, during which period the member exercising this privilege shall employ a substitute."
(d) Any individual local member may appeal any local decision adverse to him to the International. Appeals are taken successively to the President, to the Board and to the next International Convention.
4. The agreement merging the parallel local unions of stereotypers and pressmen provided that should journeymen lose jobs because of a conversion:
"the journeyman members displaced and willing to be retrained will be given the opportunity. They will go to the last ...

About the study
I began researching my Caunce family tree in 2001. I was interested in tracking my family line as far back as possible to try to find the origin and meaning of the Caunce name ; I was told as a child that it was a French name. I found that before 1900 my ancestors were mainly based in and around the West Lancashire village of Rufford. I was fortunate that the Lancashire Parish Register Society had transcribed and published the early Parish Registers of Rufford and Croston. I recorded all the Caunce entries (and variants/deviants) from these publications and attempted to build up an early family tree thus starting me off on a one-name study which I registered with the Guild in 2003.
In addition to collecting Caunce records world wide, my aim is to find the origin of the name and to complete as much family reconstruction as possible.
Variant names
The registered variants are Cance, Canse, and Conce.
Before 1700 Conce, Canse and Cance were more common in the records than Caunce but after 1700 most family lines used Caunce. In the 1881 census for England and Wales there were 445 Caunce entries and 14 Conce/Canse/Cance entries.
In France and the USA Cance is a much more common name than in England ; Cance may be a variant of Caunce or an unrelated French name.
Name origin
The 1881 census shows the Caunce name to be concentrated around the West Lancashire village of Rufford. Records show a close link with the Hesketh family, Lords of the Manor of Rufford, with many Caunces yeoman farmers leasing land from the Heskeths. The earliest reference I have found is Rob Cauns in a listing of subscribers for a priest for Ormskirk in 1366.
Few surname dictionaries include Caunce. The Internet Surname Dictionary makes a link to the name CHANCE : either old French or middle English origin, nickname meaning 'lucky'. This seems unlikely, early Caunce variants/deviants show no link and geographic distributions are quite different. Reaney, in A Dictionary of British Surnames, has an entry for CAUSEY, middle English CAUCE meaning 'dweller by a causeway'.
Interested Caunce family members give the following possible origins:
- In the Cornish language 'caunce' means causeway. Rufford is named after the ford were Martin Mere outflow used to drain into the River Douglas. On either side of this were causeways through the marshy land and at that place is still Causeway Farm and Causeway Fields. Forms of Brythonic Celtic were spoken up the West side of Britain from Cornwall to Cumberland but I do not have the expertise to judge the likelyhood that this is the source of the name.
- From the North Lancashire village of Cantsfield, the Cansfield family had a number of name variants including CAUNCEFIELD or CAUNCEFELD. The earliest reference is John de Cancefield who was Abbott of Furness Abbey in 1153. It is theorised that someone from this family moved south in Lancashire and dropped the 'field' from the name. I have not yet found a link but will keep looking.
- A common story in Rufford is that a member of the Hesketh family took on a French servant named Caunce when fighting in France and brought him back home with him. Sir William Hesketh was rewarded for good service at the Battle of Crecy in 1346 but I have no evidence to support this story.
DNA analysis could be used to check for links between Caunce, Cance, Chance and Cansfield family lines.
Historical occurrences of the name
No occurrences have been found in biographical dictionaries.
Amongst those of note are:
John William Caunce (1900-1993), Captain of Atlantic Liners including the Mauritania and the Queen Elizabeth.
Jim Caunce, Elder Statesman of St. Helens, Councillor for Haydock for more than 50 years and Mayor in 1980 and 1992, died September 2012, aged 92.
Name frequency
The Office of National Statistics database indicated that Caunce was the 7409th most common name in England and Wales in September 2002 with 866 occurrences.
Figures from Ancestry census data (at15/03/2011) and Lancashire Archives show the following changes in frequency for Caunce:
England and Wales - from 400 in 1851 to 640 in 1901.
United States- from 0 in 1840 to 7 in 1900.
Canada- from 0 in 1861 to 5 in 1901.
Distribution of the name
A distribution plot using Archer software with 1881 census data showed the name to be concentrated in West Lancashire with 95% in Lancashire.
A distribution plot based on 2002 electoral register data (from 192.com) showed there had been some migration but still over 75% in Lancashire.
The website Public Profiler of World Names showed there had been migration to Canada, New Zealand, Australia and USA but they were at a low concentration.
My core records are :
- Civil Registration in England and Wales.
-All entries from indexes 1837-1950 (from freebmd) B-1600, M-1050, D-1000.
-West Lancs Ormskirk District full Register entries 1837-1950 B-600, M-300, D-350.
- Census records for England and Wales 1841-1911 (1861 incomplete).
- Parish Register entries (start date -1900) for most West Lancashire Parishes from LPRS publications and microfiche copies, others will be checked on line as available. Bap-1100, Mar-400, Bur-650.
- Lancashire PCC wills and administrations up to 1858 (40) and summaries from calendars of wills 1858-1943 (141).
- Scotland, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand civil registration and census records. Some records have been collected in this area to date but numbers are relatively small.
- A lot of family reconstruction has been carried out with a high proportion of 1911 census entries linked back to one couple c1600.

Clinical informatics, the application of information technology within healthcare organizations and operations, is a wide-ranging field that includes and affects all health providers.
This new and growing field ensures the proper documentation of clinical information into databases, but also involves the design, implementation and maintenance of applicable IT systems to receive and process clinical data. With data collection specifically, clinical informatics helps organize patient information in a set structure that allows for efficient retrieval and placement in a medical report or evaluation.
Since 2013, clinical informatics has been recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties as a board subspecialty.
Clinical informatics can include a number of diverse subgenres:
Medical Informatics: Medical informatics has grown since the 1960s and 1970s to deal primarily with the advancement of a national electronic health record database, as supported by the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Medical informatics can assist healthcare providers with a number of critical tasks, such as maintaining and sharing electronic patient records, tracking disease and public health issues, analyzing DNA sequencing and promoting the positive impact that IT advancements have had on healthcare overall.
Nursing Informatics: Nurses serve on the front lines of patient care. Through nursing informatics, they can oversee the integration of relevant and pertinent patient data into a central database to allow for real-time decision making at critical junctures by patients and healthcare providers.
Pharmacy Informatics: Patients often are prescribed medications to lessen pain and speed recovery. Pharmacy informatics is a critical component in the electronic chain of care that helps ensure the efficient and accurate disbursement of pharmaceuticals and other medications. As more healthcare providers transition to e-prescribing, the electronic generation of prescriptions that eliminates the traditional paper script, pharmacy informatics helps eliminate dosage, allergic reaction and other possible human reporting errors.
Nutritional Informatics: Nutritional informatics involves the documentation, organization, storage and use of pertinent food and nutrition-related information as it pertains to individual patients. This information can be used to discuss, track and problem-solve food issues, allergies, lifestyle and personal health and weight issues.
As more clinical informatics positions become available, the average salary for skilled workers continues to grow. In October 2016, the average salary for clinical informaticists was $70,861, according to Payscale.com.
To meet the qualifications for a clinical informatics job and be positioned to receive the best possible starting salary, interested applicants should have at least a bachelor's degree with plans to pursue a graduate degree in the field of health informatics, healthcare management or quality management.
Some schools, such as Jacksonville University, offer a Master of Science in Health Informatics degree, which can be obtained online and focuses on pertinent topics such as sharing information between healthcare providers, providing patients with easier access to their medical records, evaluating public health and contagious diseases in specific populations, health policy ethics and other related areas.

In the wake of price hikes in mid-July at Starbucks coffee shops, Caffé Bene also decided to raise its prices for the first time in four years by W200 or more (US$1=W1,020) starting from Friday, the coffee chain said on Thursday.
The increase affects seven different kinds of drinks, with an average price increase of 5.8 percent.

Finding enough space can be difficult to budget for, especially in environments such as offices and schools. The perfect solution to these issues is a portable building. If constructed correctly, these structures are tough and well insulated. It is however very important to ensure that you're using the best materials. As a supplier to major construction companies, we have proven ourselves to supply some of the best quality and lowest maintenance bonded panels on the market.
The advantages of modular buildings are clear, but there are significant issues surrounding the panels used to construct such buildings. It is very important that you have the appropriate panels to suit the exact building type you require. We cater for all needs, supplying a range of panels practical for different purposes. Bonded panels are generally made by bonding steel to Far Eastern Plywood, but we can also bond to plasterboard, fire protection board and insulation board.
We are well aware that there are applications where standard sized panels just will not do! We are able to cut panels to your specification whilst still offering some of the most reasonable prices on the market.

After spending a few days at the London Marriott Hotel Maida Vale (trip report), we spent our last night in the UK at the Holiday Inn Express London – Heathrow T5, mostly to avoid an additional night of central London hotel prices.
Location: This hotel is located in Slough, a town just west of Heathrow Airport. It was a bit of a trek from our hotel in London – we had to take the Underground to Paddington Station, then paid £9.20 each to go one stop to Slough on a Great Western Railway train, then took a double decker bus about 20 minutes from the Slough railway station to this hotel. It's located just off the M5 highway next to a water reservoir (not exactly an exciting location), and about 5 miles from the western edge of Heathrow airport.
To get between the hotel and the airport, you can either take the National Express Hotel Hoppa (£4.50 if bought in advance or £5 on board) or the Slough 7 bus (£4.20), which stops around the corner from the hotel. We opted for the local bus, not knowing how expensive it was (the fares weren't posted at the bus stop and I could only find pricing for multi-trip passes on their website) or that they don't take Oyster cards. We only had £5 in cash, but luckily the driver took pity on us and charged us the normal fare of £2.40 instead of the more expensive Heathrow fare.
Checkin/Checkout: Checkin was quick and painless; they had an express checkout box, so I just dropped our keys in it on our way out the door.
Room: The room was pretty straightforward – one queen size bed, a desk, two side tables, an electric tea kettle, and a bathroom. The walls were a bit thin – we could hear children playing in the evening, and in the morning one of our neighbors was having some kind of argument that involved shouting and slamming doors.
Internet: The hotel offered basic internet for free, but it was too slow for anything more than basic browsing, so I paid £5 for a 24-hour premium wifi pass. The wifi registration page said to talk to the front desk about discounts for multi-day passes.
Food: The hotel offered a decent continental breakfast – croissants and pain au chocolat, eggs and baked beans, cereal, yogurt, and fruit. There is a 24 hour gas station with a Marks and Spencer's grocery store across the street, but my room didn't have a refrigerator or microwave. There is also a bar/lounge in the lobby, as well as an Italian restaurant that's open for dinner.
Service: We had little interaction with the staff, but what we did have was polite and efficient.
Verdict: An inexpensive and perfectly serviceable hotel with relatively convenient access to Heathrow. Would recommend for a one night stay before or after a flight, though for an overnight layover you may want to consider closer options.
Have you stayed at this hotel recently? What was your experience? If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Cheers everyone!
P.S. The next stop on our big winter trip was Cancun, Mexico. Stay tuned for the next part of my trip report. Adios amigos!

Melody's Key by Dallas Coryell
Publisher: Self Published
Genre: Contemporary
Length: Full Length (338 pgs)
Heat Level: Sensual
Rating: Best Book
Reviewed by Mistflower
"His eyes settled on her…piercing green embers of flame that revealed the ferocity of his pain and passion, yet still shrouded him under veils of ever deepening mystery that made every ounce of her ache to unravel him."
Tegan Lockwood's dreams were dead, sacrificed on the noble altar of duty before they ever had a chance to live. Her entire existence was disappearing into the abyss of apathy as she labored her days away keeping her family's struggling business alive. There would be no emotion, no color, no beauty in her life. That is, until a mysterious visitor begins to draw her out of the darkness of her past towards something that will challenge the boundaries of her world, and unlock the most deeply held secrets of her heart.
This book was outstanding! Dallas Coryell is a talented author and apparently a gifted musician as well. I wish I knew the songs written in the book from Mason, the hero, to Tegan, the heroine, were real and on YouTube prior to reading the book. Never have I read a book where the story and characters were as vividly alive in the room with me as the characters in this story were. I think that if I had listened to the songs as they appeared in the book, I would have melted on the spot. Maybe even go as far as faint on the spot.
I sincerely fell in love with every aspect of this story. It was uniquely clever how the author incorporated a love story on the side through Tegan reading old love letters from an ancestor. It was sheer brilliance how the author connected the closings of those love letters with the last few pages of the book. I appreciated the detail of the key that Tegan wore around her neck to the detail of her middle name. All of these special mentions made the book remarkable in my eye.
I can't rave enough about this story. Melody's Key was heartwarming, sweet, sensual, romantic, heartbreaking, gut wrenching with a touch of despair, funny, sad, happy, hopeful, happy, ecstatic, hilarious, and all satisfying! I can think of a specific event for each of those feelings. This book was a great ride and one that I didn't want to end.
I fell in love with Tegan's entire family. Her parents were supporting and her sister was hilarious with her pranks. I've never been to London but if I did I'd love to see Tegan's estate. I'd want to curl up with a blanket under the old tree with big roots. I wish the characters and places in this book were real.
Everything about this book worked. My interest was captured from the first page to the last. I couldn't put the book down. Reading as the romance budded and blossomed between Mason and Tegan was scrumptious. The story was consistently enthralling from beginning to end.
I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I would love to see this book made into a movie. I'd pay to go see this movie the night it'd premiere. I'd buy this book. I'd actually read it more than once. Those who know me know that I never read a book twice. I'm tempted to re-read it now just to pause at the song parts. 🙂 This is seriously a major "book glow" book!

I'll never understand the love for this candle, nor BBW's insistence on bringing it back year after year. Instead of pumpkin, it smells like apple, with a plastic note thrown in, and the rest is strong cinnamon. There are so many more complex pumpkin candles BBW could focus on that really do smell like pumpkin.

Along with Leaves, this is another B&BW candle that I have to repurchase yearly. It's heavier on the cinnamon but still manages to smell like a pumpkin pie. It could be stronger as I find it doesn't fill the room with fragrance as much as some other candles do, but it's not super weak either. Love it!

This candle smells good and is very strong when I just smell it straight out of the jar. However, when burning, I can't even tell it's there. To me, that's really the only part that matters is how strong it is when the candle is actually burning. I got it on sale for half off so I won't complain about the price.

This is a review for ALL candles.
After the candle has burned off and left with an empty jar, where do you think that jar of wax gone?
Assuming you have a good air-filter system in your living quarter, some of it were absorbed by the filter; some of it "burned residue" were attached to the furniture & wall.
But some of it were inhaled into your lung. If you don't know how this residue look like, place a cold knife or spoon on the flame and you shall find out.
Be wise, look pass the disguise.

This candle has great throw and will instantly fill the entire room with a sweet cinnamon scent. This reminds me of pumpkin pies baking when this burns. Very much a Fall scent but also a great winter scent. Just like baking going on in the house lol.
Some interesting notes in this scent are Jasmine, apple, pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla, rum, and amber. I don't smell anything in this candle except for the cinnamon and pumpkin.

I have long been a fan of all things Victorian inspired... I just love ruffles! The romantic in me can't help but be drawn to them. Guys can get into the spirit of an era gone by wearing an ascot (or cravat) instead of a traditional tie.
I happen to like the ascots from local designer Blind Bunney Couture. The blind rabbit patterns are quite whimsical and cute. I really should have bought one at their sample sale . . . the purple one is calling my name!
