Walsh, J.
1. This appeal raises at least one very interesting question of law about which I feel considerable doubt, but I do not think I should gain anything by taking time to consider my judgment. I am glad to think that my decision can be reviewed, if so desired, under the Letters Patent.
2. The action is brought by the plaintiff for possession of certain property which belonged to her husband as a separated Hindu. Her husband died in 1904. She brought a suit for possession against the defendant in 1907 and succeeded in the first Court. That judgment was affirmed by the Appellate Court in November 1907. The defence had been that the land had been given orally to the defendant by the plaintiff's husband. That defence failed. It was also alleged that the defendant had been in continuous possession since 1895, but of course that would have given the defendant no right in itself. The judgment of the Appellate Court was appealable to the High Court but was not appealed against. That is a decision between the present plaintiff and the present defendant, that the plaintiff was entitled to the property in question and was also entitled to immediate possession in 1907. The question of title, therefore, between the parties is res judicata. The plaintiff applied for execution of the decree which had been given in her favour in the Court of first instance in September 1913. That application was not unnaturally rejected by the Munsif on the 10th of January 1914 on the ground that it was made more than three years after the decree and was, therefore, time-barred. Between 1907 and 1913 something appears to have happened to which I will refer later in my judgment. Upon her application being thus rejected, the plaintiff brought this suit on the 26th February 1914 and obtained a decree for possession in her favour on the 28th of April 1914 in the Munsif's Court. That decision was reversed in appeal by the District Judge on the 18th of June 1914, and from that latter decision this appeal is brought.
3. Now, the plaint in this, suit undoubtedly alleged a cause of action founded upon the decree of 1907. It also alleged, for some reason or another, a right of action accruing in 1905. That was clearly wrong because any cause of action anterior to the judgment of 1907 was merged in the judgment. It also alleged in paragraph 2, that the plaintiff could not obtain possession within three years of the decree, and it did not allege that the plaintiff had in fact been in possession at anytime between 1907 and the commencement of this suit. So that when the case came before the Court of first instance, the sole cause of action alleged, which the defendants had any reason to anticipate would be urged against them, was the previous decree. However, as appears from the judgment of the learned Munsif and from the extracts of evidence read by the respondents Counsel to me, it happened that during the hearing of the suit, five days prior to the decision, a witness gave evidence that the plaintiff had been in possession of the land in dispute a year after the decree, viz., in 1908. It is perfectly true, as I have pointed out, that no reliance had originally been placed by the plaintiff upon that fact. It must have taken the defendants and their Pleaders by surprise, and it was clearly a matter in which in justice to the defendants (if the defendants and their Pleaders had desired it) they ought to have been given any further opportunity which they reasonably asked to meet that further allegation. They do not' appear to have done so, but one of the defendants Dharam Singh, himself went into the witness-box and apparently contradicted the witness. The learned Munsif was unable to accept the evidence of this defendant and gave excellent reasons for accepting the evidence given by the witness to whom' I have referred, and he held as a fact, after hearing the evidence on both sides on a point which, as I have said, had not been raised in the plaint, that the plaintiff had been in possession of the land within 12 years, viz., in 1908. In my opinion, if that is true, it was a satisfaction of the decree and a fresh cause of action would accrue to the plaintiff, if at any time subsequent to that the defendants re-took possession. It was alleged by the same witness (to whom I have referred) called by the plaintiff, that the defendants did re-take possession, although that statement does not appear in the learned Munsif's judgment but was read to me by the respondents' Counsel. Now there are cases, no doubt, in which parties are taken by surprise and in which it is unjust to allow their rights to be defeated by proof of matters which are not alleged and which they have no opportunity of meeting. On the other hand it is undesirable in the interests of justice, where no injustice will otherwise be done to anybody, that a Court should wilfully shut its eyes to relevant facts which are proved in the course of the hearing, raising a cognate though different cause of action to that originally relied upon by the plaintiff. Everybody knows that it may occur that in the early stages of a case, all the facts are not known to the Pleader who draws out the plaint, and every risk of injustice can be avoided by allowing an adjournment, by raising the point on appeal, or by penalising the successful party in costs. In this particular case the defendants appealed. Upon the hearing of the appeal it was open to them to raise any question of law or to point out to, the Appellate Court any unjust consequences which had ensued to them arising out of the admission of the evidence to which I have referred, and the finding at which the learned Munsif arrived. They advanced six grounds of appeal but they took no point about this alleged injustice. The finding of fact to which I have referred is not dealt with at all in the judgment of the lower Appellate Court and must be taken, therefore, not to have been overruled. It, therefore, stands as a finding of fact by which, I am bound, as to which it would be a great misfortune, in my opinion, if I were not entitled to take notice of it, and which, in my opinion, entitled the plaintiff to succeed. I do not think that lander the circumstances of the case, I should be doing right if I sent the case back or referred any further issue on this point. On that single ground, therefore, I allow this appeal and give judgment for the plaintiff. To put the matter in right form I re-settle an issue under Order XLI, Rule 24, to the following effect: 'The plaintiff, while in possession of the land in question in 1908, was wrongfully dispossessed by the defendant' and I hold that the plaintiff is entitled to succeed on that ground.
4. There is, however, another point to which I have already referred which is raised by this appeal, namely, even if the plaintiff was not entitled to have the fact of physical possession in i 908 found in her favour in this suit and to recover judgment upon that fact alone, whether she is not entitled to sue as she originally did, and to succeed, upon the decree of 1907. That is a question which is by no means free from difficulty. There has been a considerable amount of discussion upon it in one form or another and some divergence of judicial opinion, but I do not think it desirable to go at length through all the decisions on the point. I would first refer to a decision by Wilson, J., in 1881 reported as Attermoney Dossee v. Hurry Doss Dutt 7 C. 74; 9 C.L.R. 357; 4 Shome. L.R. 192 which commends itself to my judgment and to certain observations contained in a recent judgment of two Judges of the Calcutta High Court reported as Kali Charan Nath v. Sukhada Sundari Debt 30 Ind. Cas. 824; 20 C.W.N. 58; 22 C.L.J. 272. Most, if not all, of the cases are set out in that judgment. The passage to which I would refer is at the end of the judgment on page 62, being a passage cited from the judgment by Baron Parke in Williams v. Jones 13 M. & W. 628; 2 D. & L. 680; 14 L.J. Ex. 145; 53 E.R. 262; 67 R.R. 767: The principle is, that, where a Court of competent jurisdiction has adjudicated a certain sum to be due from one person to another, a legal obligation arises to pay that sum, on which an action of debt to enforce the judgment may be maintained.' The Calcutta High Court goes on to say: 'No mischief can result from the acceptance of this principle, if it is adopted subject to the qualification recognized in modern English Law, viz., that an action is permissible only where the judgment cannot be enforced in some other way.' The only other case I need refer to is a decision of the Chief Justice of Bombay reported as Mancharam v. Bakshi Sahib 6 B.H.C.R. 231 at p. 234. In that case the Chief Justice appears to me to have recognized the principle that judgments and decrees may be sued upon when it is the only practicable remedy open. Now I take my stand upon the broad principle that a judgment, certainly in a contract case, I think in all cases, is a contract of record. By the comity of nations, most countries recognize the judgments of foreign countries and give effect to them by allowing suits to be brought upon them, provided they are delivered by Courts of competent jurisdiction, acting within that jurisdiction, and lay down no principle repugnant to the policy of what I may call the domestic country. It would appear that domestic judgments ought to have at least the same force as foreign judgments. It would also appear from a decision which was much relied upon by the respondents' Counsel reported as Fakirapa v. Pandurangapa 6 B. 7 that countless actions have been brought at any rate in Bombay on Small Cause Court judgments or decrees. It is, therefore, as it seems to me, difficult to hold that a suit, upon a domestic judgment of some kind or another, is not cognizable under the Code in this country. Some limit, of course, there must be and it is obvious that whichever way this case is decided, there must be some conflict of what I may call equitable doctrines.
5. The period for enforcing a decree by Article 182 of Act IX of 1908 is three years and it is urged with great force that to give effect to a suit upon judgment brought within 12 years under Article 122 is directly in conflict with Article 182. On the other hand to refuse to give effect to a suit upon a judgment which has resulted in a decree for the recovery of possession of land after the expiration of three years would be in conflict with Article 122 and also, as was pointed out by the appellant's Counsel, with Section 28 of the Limitation Act. It is not immaterial that the Limitation Act itself in Article 122 recognizes--of course it does not enact--the admissibility of judgments obtained in British India as a cause of action under the Code. Mr. Agarwala, for the respondents, argued with great force that there was a wide distinction between a judgment and a decree. So there is I am of opinion that the word judgments' contained in Article 122 means decrees'. The word obtained' is not really applicable to the reasons which a Judge gives in his judgment; it is more applicable to the decree which a successful party gets in his favour and I think that in two places in Section 5 of the Limitation Act the word 'judgment' is used in the sense in which 'decree' is defined by the Civil Procedure Code.
6. Now the question still remains, whether there is anything in the Code itself which indicates that such suits are not admissible in this country. Before I refer to the sections which are relied upon, I would observe, what I have already pointed out, that if the Code did contain anything expressly or impliedly excluding from the consideration of- the Courts in this country suits upon judgments, then for many years past some if not all of the High Courts in this country have been decreeing suits upon judgments without any jurisdiction at all. The first section relied upon is Section 11 and at first sight it would seem clearly to prohibit the re-litigation of any question which had already been determined in any suit, that is to say, it seems to me to go further than the principles of res judicata founded upon the Duchess of Kingston's case 34 H.L. Jo. 655; 20 Howell St. Tr. 537; 2 Sm, L.C.731 and reads as if no party, not even a plaintiff, can sue upon any matter which has been determined. I think the answer is, that the plaintiff, in such a case as this, is not suing upon the same cause of action; he is alleging that he has obtained judgment and that the defendant is under a legal obligation to him under that judgment and that obligation arises out of matters subsequent to those litigated in the original suit. A decree determines questions between parties in litigation at the commencement of the suit; the plaintiff here is relying upon something in his favour at the end of the suit and independent of the questions originally litigated. Indeed questions originally litigated cannot be re-considered in the suit upon the decree and that is all Section 11 provides.
7. Section 12 was also relied upon and I, therefore, refer to it but it is obvious that only relates to cases where the plaintiff is in default under the rules contained in the Schedule or has brought a suit and has been nonsuited, and it does not bear upon the question now before me. Lastly, Section 47 has been relied upon, and indeed it has formed in many judgments dealing with this matter a prominent subject of discussion under the name of Section 244 of the old Code. As the section now stands, it reads: 'All questions arising between the parties to the suit in which the decree was passed, or their representatives and relating to the execution, discharge or satisfaction of the decree, shall be determined by the Court executing the decree and not by a suit.' To my mind the question whether a judgment can be sued upon in a Court of co-ordinate jurisdiction or not, is a totally different question to that which is dealt with by this section. Such a suit does not and could not relate to the 'execution, discharge, or satisfaction of a decree' and with great respect to the Judges who have dealt with this question, this section, in my opinion, has nothing whatever to do with a suit of the present nature.
8. Finding, therefore, nothing in the Code which prohibits the entertainment of such a suit, and finding that suits have been entertained over and over again in one form or another, and finding that the period for enforcing this decree has expired and that, therefore, the plaintiff has no other practicable remedy, I think the plaintiff was entitled to bring the present suit on the second ground as well.
9. I, therefore, allow this appeal, set aside the decree of the lower Appellate Court and restore that of the Court of first instance. The plaintiff will get her costs in all Courts.

I have spent the better part of the last few days chasing flies. Thankfully this spectacle was not captured on video or audio - especially audio! My language has been a bit crude, even for me. My ability to formulate an endless array of possible loopholes, exemptions and exclusions to the first precept has been impressive! These critters have given me quite a workout, physically and mentally. So what led up to this invasion? (I've never actually seen this many house flies in one place-certainly not MY place!)
It started several weeks ago when my husband took down a large section of the backyard fence that was damaged in a storm and needs to be replaced. (This is starting to sound like that story about a butterfly flapping it's wings in Africa and...) Anyway, to keep our dogs from getting out, he built a temporary fenced in area adjacent to the back door. To be blunt, that created the conditions for a lot of uh, dog poop to be concentrated in a relatively small area. Fast forward to Monday, which was my son's birthday and also Memorial Day. We opened the pool, fired up the grill and had a great family get together. Lots of food, lots of spills, lots of people leaving the door open... Yeah, the flies couldn't resist a temporary change in diet and discovered there was plenty of food to check out just around the corner, so they went for it.
How can one actually become angry at a fly? I mean REALLY angry! These things are incredibly difficult to catch for one thing! Much easier to whack them with a rolled up magazine, or better yet a nice fly swatter. I don't own a fly swatter, but I did roll up a newspaper. Yes I did. And I swore like a sailor and threatened to use it. My threats fell on deaf ears. Can flies hear? It was around this time that I realized how glad I was that there was no one around to witness this whole thing.
It was time for some "lying down" meditation. What came to mind was Ajahn Chah talking about how when we are about to do something wrong we tend to look around to make sure nobody will see. But we often don't consider that WE will see. All the more important to understand this teaching when what we may be thinking of doing would be seen as absolutely the right thing to do by most other people. In fact NOT doing it would be considered, well, a bit crazy!
I learned that it's impossible to catch a fly, let alone dozens of them, when angry or frustrated. I learned that with a calm and focused mind, compassionate heart and patience, it's not that hard to round up a bunch of rowdy intruders and show them the door. A much better result for all concerned than what I had first considered, though briefly!
As Sunday and the start of my retreat fast approaches, I can't help but wonder what the challenges will be that are sure to pop up along the way. And will I be able to see them for what they are, opportunities to strengthen this practice, and not obstacles that get in my way.

My vegetable garden is now in business. I was off to a pretty rough start this year….
I ordered a TON of seeds with the help of Marquette's 100 Yarden Dash and Transition Marquette. I paid $5 for a share of seeds and got over 80 different kinds of them! Yes, all for $5. It works by having a bunch of people pitch in the five bucks and pick out a seed packet. Once 100 people picked out the seeds that they wanted to see in the share, the seeds were then split into 100 shares. So, if a seed packet only has 100 seeds in it, each person gets one seed. And if a packet has 80,000 seeds in it, each person gets 800 seeds, etc. It is pretty amazing and I saved a bunch of money on seeds. I also bought an extra share and split the seed packets up for gifts to friends.
I planted the seeds indoors and this is where the nightmare began… I have never really started plants from seeds and this was an experiment. Lessons learned:
1. Keep them out of reach of the cat. Guaco, that little devil, ate all of my peppers!
2. Keep them warm. Turning my heat down to 55 each night didn't help the seedlings very much.
3. Don't over water and make sure they get enough air. Most of my seedlings got moldy and died. 😦
4. Transplant them to bigger containers when they are a few inches tall. I think they started to get cramped and killed each other off.
My solution to this is to buy a plant stand next year. Menard's has a nice plastic covered plant stand for $30. I am going to get this and put a little light with a timer inside. This should work right? It will keep the cat away at least… Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
So, a few of my seedlings survived and I started to "harden" them outside on sunny days. I would bring them out for a couple hours so they could get stronger with the sun and the wind. I left them outside one warm day while I was at work. When I came home, there was dirt all over the porch. F*&^*ing squirrels dug them all up and planted peanuts in their places! There were ONLY 3 survivors, which are doing ok in the garden right now.
Nic and I built a couple raised beds. I borrowed the truck from my work and I shoveled a ton of beautiful top soil into the beds. We then had to put fencing around them because the dogs started playing and sleeping in them. Next year, I plan to make another bed.
I bought a bunch of tomatoes and peppers to make up for the ones that were destroyed. They are now planted and are doing pretty well. I also planted a bunch of things from seeds and they are doing awesome. Peas are popping up, lettuce and chard are getting big, radishes are huge. I also have carrots, beets, okra, cabbage, and potatoes. I have already harvested some spinach and it is amazing.
My herbs and flowers are doing well too. I already harvested some herbs and they are drying in the oven right now. The lilacs have come and gone, as well as the apple blossoms from our apple tree (thank God, because Nic and I were struggling with our allergies a few weeks ago).
We have quite the little urban farm (sort of) started. I am making plans for the chicken coop for this coming spring, and I am digging up more of the yard for gardens. We have a compost pile started but I would like to build a little enclosure for it. I would also like to get some rain collection barrels going, but that involves installing gutters… I just keep adding to the list!

A south Macon store's sale on gasoline for the Fourth of July fueled tempers as hundreds of motorists tried to make it to the pumps before the 99 cent per gallon offer expired.
Temperatures reached the mid 90s by the time Z Fuels, near Interstate 75 on Hartley Bridge Road, started the sale at 2:30 p.m., about 30 minutes ahead of schedule.
"People were over here at like 1 p.m.," owner Sohi Charania said. "We had regular customers and they wanted to pump their gas and go, for the regular price, $1.79, but people were already parked on the pumps and you can't tell them to move their cars."
Drivers began arguing with each other and someone called the Bibb County Sheriff's Office so deputies would come help direct traffic.
Richard Baker, 68, had been waiting to park his Ford Explorer at the pump.
He went inside to pay with cash, because paying with a debit or credit card would cost $1.09 per gallon.
"I done got cussed out trying to get in here and get some 99 cent gas," said Baker, a retired Vietnam War veteran. "People out here struggling are acting like a maniac now ... They got a good price on gas if you really need it. ... Every little bit helps, you know. So I'm grateful."
Two deputies and a sergeant directed traffic by the entrance to Z Fuels, blowing whistles, waving their arms and yelling for motorists to keep driving past the gas station.
"This is our third time going around, c'mon now," a teenage boy said to a deputy from the passenger seat of a red Jeep.
"You'll have to go around again," the deputy said. "I don't know what to tell you."
A man in a white truck loaded with several small gas cans was ticketed for a traffic violation during the sale.
There was plenty of honking.
"It's a good thing, but it's just in a bad location," Sgt. Chris Paul told The Telegraph. "You can't get that many people in at one time. ... You just got to get in at the right time.
Denise Dinkins and her fiance, both bound for Savannah, filled up both of their cars during the hour and a half sale.
"It takes at least $25 to fill it up," Dinkins said of her Toyota Corolla. "I only put $9.25 in it."
Jake Jacobs waited for more than an hour to fill up his Suburban and a 60-gallon blue barrel he brought.
Deputies "sent me around two or three times," Jacobs said, adding that he'd driven from near Jones County and wasn't about to leave.
The barrel of gas would fill up the tank in his boat at half the cost.
"We planned to take the kids out on the boat at Lake Tobesofkee tonight," Jacobs said. "Boats like gas."
The store had 8,500 gallons of regular gasoline delivered Tuesday morning. It was running out of gas by the end of the sale.
Two minutes before 4 p.m., Charania walked up to the driver's side of a car to let a Tiffany Wilsbach and her sister know they'd be the last car to fill up for 99 cents.
"I was like, 'Oh my God!'" Wilsbach said. "We couldn't believe it."
Charania, of Fayetteville, bought the store three months ago, but there was no official grand opening.
He said he is able to buy gasoline for a cheaper price because his store is unbranded, but still would lose money from the promotional 99 cent sale.
"We'll be able to tell in weeks or months, repeat clients will know that this is the station," Charania said.
When asked if the sale went as planned, he said, "we ain't doing this again. It was a mess."

July 23rd marks International #hellomynameis day. The #hellomynameis campaign was started by Dr Kate Granger MBE, a lady who set up a campaign in August 2013 using social media after receiving treatment in hospital for terminal cancer and realising that not all of the staff helping to support her introduced themselves. The campaign has raised awareness about the importance of healthcare professionals telling service users their name and role to help improve communication and increase the quality of patient care. The 23rd of July sadly marks the anniversary of Kate's passing, though her husband Chris Pointon continues to travel the world delivering talks about Kate's story and how we as healthcare professionals can improve people's experiences of being cared for.
Hello, my name is Abbie and I am a student mental health nurse. As I am a couple of weeks away from the end of my first year I have had lots of contact with service users on practice placements so I've been able to get a flavour of how much of a difference introductions can make from a professional perspective. From a personal perspective when I've been treated myself and accompanying loved ones to the hospital or the doctors I've witnessed professionals assessing not just the physical health but also the personal thoughts and feelings (mental health assessments are very thorough – see here) of people without telling them their name. Not doing so can put up a barrier to communication as the service user may feel awkward and uncomfortable with disclosing very sensitive information that they may previously have never shared with anybody before to a nameless stranger. A simple introduction can make the service user feel more valued and willing to talk about things like what they've been experiencing and what they wish to gain from treatment, which helps professionals deliver person-centred care that is tailored to each individual's needs. Kate's #hellomynameis campaign strives to improve patient experiences and aligns with the 6 Cs, values underpinning effective nursing practice that were set out in Compassion in Practice: Evidencing the Impact (2016).
Some University of Manchester students find themselves on placement within the Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust, which is where a number of nurses dubbed 'Kate Granger nurses' are the first in the UK to have been appointed. Kate Granger nurses will wear special identifiable badges and aim to encourage staff members in the trust to demonstrate effective communication and uphold the standards of compassionate care that Kate and her husband Chris have spent years campaigning for.
Searching #hellomynameis online brings up a wealth of posts showing healthcare professionals and service users pledging their support for the campaign. Visit the campaign's website to see what events Kate's husband is attending and find out more about how you can get involved.

KUCHING: Poor public transportation remains a serious issue not only in this city but across Sarawak that leaves many poor and low income working-class residents crippled with limited mobility and placed additional strain on them financially.
Thus, there is a crucial need to invest in and revive the public transport services, particularly in Kuching, to improve people's accessibility to just about everything – work, schools and services, Democratic Action Party (DAP) pointed out.
To illustrate their point, Pending assemblywoman Violet Yong said many public bus services throughout Kuching City had been axed in the past several years.
"Many residents in Bintawa have complained after the buses operating to some routes here have been cut for three months now, while the bus services to some areas in Sungai Apong have stopped a year ago," she told a press conference at the Bintawa Hawker Centre yesterday.
"Now, only bus no. K1 to Muara Tabuan light industrial zone and Tabuan Jaya and bus K11 to King Centre are still operating in the Bintawa area," she elaborated.
Because of that, she added, many residents in Bintawa area, especially from the low-income group and the elderly, had to seek other means of transportation like private vans to commute to their destinations.
"Public transport like buses are a necessity, an extremely important mode of transport for the poor citizens who can't afford cars particularly," she stressed.
DAP Sarawak chairman Chong Chieng Jen, who is also Bandar Kuching MP and Kota Sentosa assemblyman, highlighted that proper public transportation system is a key factor in every good town planning.
"A truly developed country is where even the rich or well-to-do are willing or regularly take public transport like buses, instead of every household owning two to three cars," he said.
To show their displeasure with the government for totally neglecting the public bus services in Kuching, DAP held a protest at the bus stop opposite the Bintawa Hawker Centre.
"The public bus service in Kuching is disappearing and there are only 100 over buses operated by four private companies currently which are grossly insufficient considering the size of the population," Chong said.
He added that DAP had on many occasions reminded the government of the need to improve public bus services in Kuching, Sibu, Bintulu and Miri.
"The Chief Minister, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem, had during the state election campaign said he might consider providing free public bus service but after the election, the state government is totally silent about it," he said.
He suggested that government use the suggestions tabled in the past State Legislative Assembly (DUN) sittings on how it can approach this issue.
"First, acquire shares of all the four existing bus companies. Second, purchase 200 more buses. Third, provide free public bus service in Kuching for the first five years," he suggested.
"Taking into account the financial reports of the existing bus companies and market rate of new buses, it will take only about RM150 million on the part of the government to fully acquire the four companies, purchase 200 new buses and cover the operation cost for the first year," he said.
"Operation cost for subsequent years will be about RM50 million a year," he added.
On why there is a need to provide free bus services in the first five years, Chong said it is to allow people to try, change commuting pattern and adapt to public transportation.

We decided on Sunday that we had better get our pumpkins carved that afternoon or they may not get completed. Our week was full with getting ready for school parties and everything else going on. So, after going through pages and pages on the internet of ideas for their pumpkins, the kids finally decided what they wanted.
We brought the pumpkins in and got to work. Jason and I cut the tops of and loosened the insides of the pumpkins and then we have the girls help clean the pumpkins out. Ethan's job to "supervise". I was not about to have him get into the pumpkins because I knew it would end up all over the dining room.
Once the pumpkins were cleaned out, we started in on the carving and this is what we ended with...
Jason and Brenna carved a moon and stars in Brenna's pumpkin.
Alyssa and I carved a heart in Alyssa's pumpkin. I was so not surprised when Alyssa chose this out of all the other templates we looked at.
Ethan and Jason carved a "Jack-O-Lantern". Ethan didn't even look at what was available online. He brought his plastic pumpkin "bucket" to Jason and stated clearly that he wanted a Jack-O-Lantern. So, Jason did his best to copy the plastic pumpkin face.
I found this scarecrow template and decided to carve the 4th pumpkin on the front porch. I think it turned out pretty cute. (It was much cuter after I cleaned it off...sorry!)
We had quite the mess when we finished and I collected just enough pumpkin seeds and roasted them for snacking on. I don't do too many because the kids seem to get tired of them quickly.

Nandina, holly, cryptomeria, eucalyptus, pine, boxwood, juniper, cedar, magnolia, and privet – this list is your start to your Holiday's fashionable, affordable, and simply gorgeous style for the season.
Here in the Deep South, we have a plethora of flora to choose from for our Holiday and decorating needs. Whatever the season, our native and landscape plants provide us a palette to pull from and "paint a canvas" of Holiday vistas for your mantel, table, and home in general.
I love to cut (I travel with my Felcos at all times) from the roadsides, woods, gardens, and landscapes all around me for my Holiday and seasonal décor. Clients' homes notwithstanding either…I literally deck their halls with boughs of holly…and whatever else I can snip! Mantels are probably my favorite tableau to decorate. Something about filling that ledge with greenery, berries, stems, and even ribbon just transforms the whole room. If you don't have a mantel, make a statement with your tree, tablescape or even front door – still keeping with the natural theme.
Start with verdant greenery. I like to use coniferous and evergreens like long leaf pine, cedar, boxwood, magnolia, and holly in contrasting textures tones of green…even using eucaplyptus and blue cedar for that blue green contrast. I don't use much red in my décor during the year, but Christmas is just the time to bring it on! Holly berries, Pyracantha, and Nandina provide punches of radiant red. There too is just something classic about a deep green wreath with a red velvet bow I think…even Goldie and Georgia Brown, my Suburbans, get their own wreaths as well! Weave in those berries into the branches of greenery and arrange your mantle like it's a trough like arrangement. Layer a base of greenery, add berries for accent, and highlight with a bit of embellishment like sticks, moss, or feathers.
I like to fill urns or containers with arrangements as anchors on the mantle. For example, use two glass vases or watertight containers as your oasis and fill these with stems of holiday themed florals and branches. Use a mirror or beautiful focal point as your centerpiece and build from there…lower from the center and gently arcing to the ends…even use an artificial garland to wire in your fresh branches so your garland can drape down the sides of your mantle a bit.
Feathers, pine cones, and candles are also great additions to your mantelpiece and tabletops. I like to pretend that my arrangements, as many of them are, are the products of my forages through the forest, walk through the woods, or gait around the garden…a collection or gathering from my journey…my souvenir.
Keep a sharp eye out for berries and greens for your Christmas décor…use fruit, dried hydrangeas, cut floral stems like roses, lilies, and amaryllis, and even sticks and branches to add some height and natural curiosity. Whatever it is you are decorating, put some love into it, ornament with passion, and simply have fun. Merry Christmas!

چکیده انگلیسی
This paper explores how the Bank of Japan (BOJ) dealt with the trade-off between stability of the financial system and the moral hazard of banks in pre-war Japan. The BOJ concentrated Lender of Last Resort (LLR) loans with those banks that had an established transaction relationship with the BOJ. At the same time, the BOJ carefully selected its transaction counterparts, and did not hesitate to end the relationship if the performance of a counterpart declined. Further, the BOJ was selective in providing LLR loans. Through this policy, the BOJ could avoid the moral hazard that the LLR policy might otherwise have incurred.
مقدمه انگلیسی
Since Bagehot (1873), the central banks of many countries have come to adopt the role of Lender of Last Resort (LLR), and we have a rich store of theoretical and empirical literature on LLR (Goodhart, 1985, Miron, 1986, Bordo, 1990 and Goodhart and Huang, 2005 , among others). According to the "classical view" of the LLR, the Central Bank should prevent illiquid but solvent banks from failing by lending money at a penalty rate (Bordo, 1990, p. 19). That LLR lending has been effective in preventing bank panics is well established (Bordo, 1990, Butkiewicz, 1995 and Miron, 1986). However, as Goodhart (1985) argues, it is difficult for central banks to distinguish between solvent and insolvent banks. Therefore, the bank as the LLR is faced with a trade-off between the stability of the financial system and moral hazard (Cordella and Yayati, 2003). Drawing on the experience of the United States and Europe, Bordo (1990, p. 9) states that "[a]ssistance to insolvent banks was the exception rather than the rule until the 1970s… [t]he monetary authority in earlier times erred on the side of deficiency rather than excess." However, not so much is known about how the central banks have dealt with the trade-off. In this paper, we address this issue focusing on the Bank of Japan (BOJ) in the period before the Second World War. The Japanese financial system became unstable in the 1920s and the BOJ actively played the role of LLR. We explore how the BOJ selected the banks to be bailed out and what implications the BOJ's policy had. In the literature on Japanese financial history, Ehiro, 1920 and Ito, 2003 review the role of the BOJ as the LLR during this period. As they point out, the LLR loan by the BOJ was a major policy tool for stabilizing the financial system of the 1920s. In another strand of the literature, Yabushita and Inoue (1993) found that the probability of bank closure during the financial crisis of 1927 was negatively correlated with the profitability and the ratio of risky assets of a bank. Okazaki, 2002 and Okazaki et al., 2005 confirmed this result using data regarding a wider range of bank exits. Yabushita and Inoue concluded that bank closures during the financial crisis of 1927 were not contagious.1 In the context of this paper, this interpretation suggests that the LLR loans by the BOJ successfully prevented financial crises from becoming contagious. Further, the negative correlation between bank performance and bank closure suggests that the LLR loans did not impair the selection mechanism of the market, by bailing out insolvent banks. In other words, it seems that the BOJ could deal with the above trade-off reasonably well. In order to understand how this occurred, it should be noted that the BOJ was selective in its provision of LLR loans, and that LLR loans were crucial for banks (Ishii, 1980). Ishii (1980) indicated that those banks which already had transaction relationships with the BOJ were the main recipients of LLR loans, and that those banks, for the most part, were large-sized ones.2 Referring to this fact, this paper will examine how the BOJ selected its transaction counterparts, using internal documents from the BOJ and bank-level quantitative data. The BOJ archives hold the original documents on the individual openings and closings of transaction relationships with private banks in the pre-war period. I look at how the BOJ evaluated banks that applied to open a transaction relationship, and how it made the decision to approve or reject such applications. Nihon Ginko Enkakushi (The History of the BOJ) also contains comprehensive records of the individual transaction relationships between the BOJ and private banks. 3 Based on these materials, a database of the transaction relationships was constructed and matched with another containing financial data of individual banks. Using the matched dataset, I econometrically analyze the determinants of the transaction relationships between the BOJ and private banks. Adding another dataset to the above data, I directly examine how the BOJ selected the recipient banks of LLR loans. Lastly, I investigate how the transaction relationships with the BOJ affected bank management. Specifically, I examine the effects on the portfolio management and risk-taking of a bank to see whether moral hazard, which the literature indicates is a possible consequence, was incurred or not.
نتیجه گیری انگلیسی
Under the unstable financial system of the 1920s, the BOJ actively intervened in the market as the LLR, which is reflected in the spikes in BOJ lending during periods of bank panic. The BOJ concentrated LLR loans with those banks which already had a transaction relationship with the BOJ, and it selected transaction counterparts based on the applications made by private banks. From case studies regarding the opening of transaction relationships, we found that the BOJ used the following criteria in selecting counterparts: (a) the financial condition of the bank (i.e. profitability and soundness of the portfolio), (b) the composition of the directors and large shareholders, and their private assets, (c) the scale of the bank and its position in the local financial market, and (d) the availability of funds other than BOJ loans. This finding is confirmed by econometric analysis of the determinants of the transaction relationship. That is, the probability of having a transaction relationship with the BOJ was high for those banks whose ROA was high and whose scale was large. And, for banks whose ROA was low and whose reserve ratio was low, the probability of a transaction relationship with the BOJ being closed was high. It is noteworthy that banks whose profitability was low could not maintain a transaction relationship with the BOJ. This policy of the BOJ in selecting transaction counterparts was consistent with the policy for selecting Special Loan recipients. In selecting recipients from the banks which needed rescue, the BOJ focused on their profitability. The probability of receiving an LLR loan was higher for a bank with a higher ROA. Further, a transaction relationship with the BOJ did not have the overall effect of increasing the probability for transaction counterparts to receive LLR loans, but it did increase the probability for profitable counterparts to receive LLR loans. As a result, a transaction relationship with the BOJ had no significant overall effect on a bank's survivability, but it did enhance the effect of a high ROA on the survivability of a bank. These policies of the BOJ were effective in preventing moral hazard in banks, which could be incurred by LLR loans. There is no evidence that a transaction relationship with the BOJ had a significant impact on a bank's risk-taking. The 1920s was an epoch of structural changes in Japanese financial history. Due to the harsh competition and poor macro-economic environment, a number of banks exited through mergers and failures. At the same time, during this wave of mergers and failures, an important feature of the Japanese financial system, namely, close ties between banks and industrial firms, which was one of the basic sources of bad loans in this period, declined (Teranishi, 2003 and Okazaki et al., 2006). The LLR loans by the BOJ were a measure to cope with financial instability accompanying the structural changes. However, it is possible that the LLR loans themselves could have incurred a moral hazard and impeded structural changes. The BOJ's LLR policy successfully avoided this problem, while mitigating instability in the financial system.

Many of you including myself are unsure of our Anxiety. So many questions of Why? How? What if? pertains. But in reality we are all okay. Its our own minds that trick us in to believing that we just aren't. That we can't trust ourselves, that we can't control ourselves, low self esteem applies, and for the most part we doubt we can handle it.
The solution is to try and be anxious. Its to go towards situations that make us feel anxious. Use reverse psychology. You have to get a bit crazy with it. You can't avoid anxiety, you can only face it and make it think you want it. Like all things in life, what you ignore chases you. So if you simply ignore being anxious, it will end up coming back. If you face it and want it, it will ignore you...and that is key. Let anxiety ignore you and only then will it go away.

Stage Fright Productions will be performing the play "Dog Sees God" for the first production of spring quarter. "Dog Sees God" will run from April 13 to April 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the Stop Gap Theatre. Originally written by Bert V. Royal, the play is a dark parody of Charles M. Schulz's "Peanuts" comic strip, showing the main characters as teenagers struggling through themes like death, drugs and identity.
The play uses different names for each of the center characters from "Peanuts," most of them being similar to or parodies of the originals. In the stage production, CB – played by Drew Brady – is Charlie Brown and Van – played by Hayden Wires – is Linus. Each of the characters' personalities also have a bleak spin on them, creating a much darker premise for the play. Bellevue College's production is directed by Ian Wells, who was chosen by the members of Stage Fright to direct a production of his choice.
"Dog Sees God [is] a great way to appreciate the Peanuts as they get a little older and a little angstier while still keeping all of the charm that made these characters so lovable in the first place," said Abby Lewis, who will be playing CB's sister in the production. "A huge theme in this show is death and how people cope with grief."
"While it makes these lovable children into frightening adolescents, it retains a level of nostalgia and social commentary," said Drew Brady on the show's theme. "I think while the show is enhanced by some of the "Peanuts" nostalgia, the conflicts and resolutions of the characters can stand on their own without the references. Each of the characters possess the essence of their "Peanuts" origins, but face the dim realities of the teenage and adult world."
"They've done so much research into their characters," said Tori Cooper, costumer for the play. "It's interesting to see people's reactions to them in a more adult setting."
"I feel like the subject matter will make the audience feel uncomfortable, which is totally intentional and normal. I am also anticipating the audience may not like the interpretations of some of their most beloved childhood characters because they don't turn out to be very great human beings, but the ending of the show is so moving and powerful that I think any dissatisfied audience members will be won over." said Brady.
Lewis also said she is looking forward to how people will react to the ending of the show. "Even reading it is enough to elicit a strong response, and the first time I saw it blocked I got chills. The audience is in for a big surprise."
All of the cast and crew of "Dog Sees God" are a part of Stage Fright Productions, a program that provides a more in depth experience for BC students to write, direct and learn new skills about theatre and performing arts.
General admission tickets for "Dog Sees God" are on sale online for $5 via Brown Paper Tickets through the Bellevue College website.

The recent case about the "sequel" to The Catcher in the Rye started a lot of talk about intellectual property at a lot of different levels. Charles McGrath's NY Times article is a good summary of what happens when, and why we sometimes do want to see our favorite characters brought to new life.
CM: The urge to write sequels and prequels is almost always an homage of sorts. We don't want more of books we hate. The books that get re-written and re-imagined are beloved. We don't want them ever to be over. We pay them the great compliment of imagining that they're almost real: that there must be more to the story, and that characters we know so well — Elizabeth Bennet, for one, or Sherlock Holmes, who has probably inspired more sequels than any other fictional being — must have more to their lives... More.

Selective criteria hold back Sovaldi use
Medimpact, a PBM, has chosen to be selective about hepatitis C drugs to keep costs down. Steve Avey, vice president, specialty clinical services, found that after conferring with experts, it doesn't make sense to treat everyone with the virus. "It costs a lot to give new expensive drugs to everyone who is infected with hepatitis C, when they might not have liver disease or a high enough viral load," he says.
Medimpact deploys strict criteria for using Sovaldi resulting in a low rate of approval. Avey attributes more substantial rebates for Sovaldi to stricter guidelines developed by insurers and PBMs. However, some states have mandated which patients are candidates for the drug, forcing the PBM to broaden its criteria.
Avey says it is imperative that true clinical value for drugs such as Sovaldi are worthy of their high price. That's why MedImpact clinically vets these products both internally and with external experts to provide clients with clinically and financially sound strategies at the time of product launch.
The PBM creates prior authorizations based on the exact inclusion and exclusion criteria of clinical studies. "These tight clinical parameters ensure that the studied population is the one that actually takes the drug. We also limit off-label use," he says.
Avey expects oncology drug spend to escalate over the next 10 years. "This will far outweigh the hepatitis C challenge due to the number of people involved, the duration of therapy and the multi-drug approaches," he says.
To address the high costs of oncology, Medimpact ensures that medications prescribed on day one are still effective six months later. Patients also receive calls within eight days of starting an oncology regimen and if problems prevail, doctors are notified.
In addition, all oncology medications must be accompanied by clinical services to avoid discontinuation and mitigate side effects, be filled at a specialty pharmacy and utilize a split-pill program of 15 pills costing half a copayment for the first two months of therapy.
In the RA space, Humira is the most-costly drug for the PBM, prompting it to use a preferred drug strategy to reduce costs and drive higher rebates, and step therapy before moving onto more complex drugs, says Avey. Medimpact also assesses therapy prior to dose escalation if clinical benefit is still not confirmed and recommends contracting to prevent huge price increases for RA drugs in future years.
Across the board for all specialty drugs, the PBM deploys Medimpact Direct to help answer challenges related to fulfillment: reducing member disruption by determining the most appropriate place to fill a prescription; eliminating "free first, 30-day supply" programs to avoid initiating patient on a more expensive therapy; and ensuring that the recorded amount of copayment/coinsurance paid by a plan member matches the actual amounts.
Finally, its quarterly clinical surveillance program reviews all specialty drugs for all clients and looks for gaps in care; ineffective protocols; overutilization; patients who have dropped off medications; and claims potentially causing fraud, waste or abuse.
Sometimes the answer is 'no'
Sean Sullivan, dean, School of Pharmacy, University of Washington in Seattle, recommends three main strategies for all specialty pharmacy:
1. Just say "no" to coverage of certain drugs. Sullivan calls this "prior authorization on steroids." While you can't say no if there is only one choice, you can limit choices, he says.
2. Lockdown specialty provider networks into closed delivery systems. If a manufacturer determines a drug is a specialty medication, a group of specialty providers should be part of a contract promising to meet needs of drug delivery based on outcomes assessment.
3. Provide experimental but innovative contracts based on outcomes, biomarkers and financial considerations. Also, commit to a budget so that payers know their liability in advance.
For example, if a patient isn't cured with an expensive hepatitis C medication (the cure rate is 95%), then payers shouldn't have to pay for the drug assuming the medication was taken appropriately.
"That's what prior authorization is all about—a budget cap," he says. "Plans don't really need the extra cost of doing [prior authorization]; a manufacturer has to take the risk."
Oncology, Sullivan says, is a tougher condition to manage because of so much individualization that requires clinical flexibility. He points out that many health plans have designed treatment pathways for cancer and if members stick to the protocols, drugs will be reimbursed.

A California newspaper spotted what it called a coded message inside a note from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger explaining his veto of a mundane bill. The first letters in seven lines, read vertically, spell "F--- you," a sentiment that may have been intended for bill sponsor Tom Ammiano. Ammiano recently made news by telling Schwarzenegger, who has vetoed bills that would have legalized same-sex marriage, to "kiss my gay ass." Was the slight intentional?
Of course it was intentional: "Any math majors want to take a run at calculating the odds of this happening by pure chance?" asks Allahpundit in Hot Air. The vulgar message was obviously intentional. Tom Ammiano probably had it coming, but his remarks were made in the heat of the moment. Schwarzenegger ratcheted up the "incivility" with his painstakingly executed riposte.
"Schwarzenegger sends very special message to legislator who heckled him"
Maybe, but it was probably an aide, not Arnold: The hidden "F--- you" from Arnold Schwarzenegger, say Philip Matier and Andrew Ross in the San Francisco Chronicle, was, in the words of Sacramento State University political science professor Barbara O'Connor, certainly "more subtle than 'kiss my gay ass.'" If it was intentional, she said, it was probably written by a staffer "having a good time."
"Did Schwarzenegger drop 4-letter bomb in veto?"
Don't be so sure -- Arnold's a known prankster: The governor's spokesman claimed the hidden message was a coincidence, says Michael Rothfeld in the Los Angeles Times, but don't be so sure. "Schwarzenegger has been a prankster" since his bodybuilding days, when he persuaded rivals to eat lots of ice cream and ground nutshells so they'd get sick, according to two of his biographers. Would he hide an obscenity in a veto letter? It's not exactly far-fetched.
"Innocuous letter or gubernatorial prank?"
The frat boys in the governor's office should act their age: This "F--- you" didn't just go out to Ammiano, says Tim Redmond in the San Francisco Bay Guardian, it went out to everyone in San Francisco, because Ammiano's bill would have helped the city's port with some financing issues. "No wonder it's hard to get anything done in Sacramento," Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's "office is full of frat boys spending hours (and it would have taken hours to get this exactly right) making stupid little-boy jokes." Grow up, guys.
"Arnold to SF: F--- you"

NGO/UN Job Vacancy
Organization: UN High Commissioner for Refugees
Country: Switzerland
Closing date: 28 Jul 2017
Development of tools to guide the use of cash as a shelter modality and provision of support to the implementation of cash for shelter in 2-3 large UNHCR operations.
Length: 6 months with possible extension pending successful progress, starting asap
Duty station : Geneva based preferred, with travels to field operations
Cash transfer programmes are now increasingly a way to respond to the needs of refugees and others of concern. While Cash-Based interventions (CBIs) have been used in UNHCR operations for many years, in 2015, the UN High Commissioner for refugees identified Cash Based Interventions as a corporate priority and investment. The Policy on Cash-based Interventions and the UNHCR Cash-Based Interventions Institutionalisation Strategy 2016-2020 provide the framework for the efforts to systematise the expanded use of cash in the response to the people UNHCR serves.
Shelter is a critical life-saving intervention that is a primary method by which UNHCR can protect persons of concern. UNHCR's Global Strategy for Settlement and Shelter (2014-2018) provides a framework to improve the living conditions of refugees and other people of concern who are seeking protection and assistance in both rural and urban settings. Cash based interventions provide enhanced opportunities and flexibility in terms of dignity of choice to people of concern. Regardless of modality, shelter construction in any form requires, to varying degrees, technical expertise to ensure the safety of occupants. Shelter provision/construction is subject to a range of regulatory systems, such as building codes and complex land ownership or tenure arrangements that require a due diligence to ensure shelter and settlement programmes adhere to the principles of "do no harm". To this end, UNHCR pursues "market based programming", meaning that a shelter and settlement response will be determined by a comprehensive situation assessment and analysis of needs, resources, markets and feasibility. Therefore, the decision to use cash-based interventions to fulfil shelter and settlement needs will be determined through market based programming.
Purpose and main tasks UNHCR is seeking the services of a consultant to:
Develop checklist/ tools to assist shelter and settlement practitioners in
Determining the feasibility of cash-based interventions for shelter and settlement programming (cognisant of context, needs, capacities and a comprehensive market analysis: construction material availability, labour, land and rental)
If applicable, defining which cash for shelter modality is best suited to a given context (renting, hosting, construction etc.) – i.e. Unrestricted/restricted vs Unconditional/conditional.
Implementing technically sound cash for shelter programmes.
Support two to three UNHCR operations to migrate relevant shelter activities to cash.
Expected deliverables
Desk review of existing guidance, including the position paper of the GSC on cash for shelter, the literature review, UNHCR RBM Framework, UNHCR Cash guidelines, lessons learned on cash for shelter.
Clear and concise checklists/guidance which will complement UNHCR existing operational guidance on CBI outlining the steps to follow to ensure the appropriate use of cash for shelter and settlement. The checklists will support UNHCR shelter practitioners in the implementation of cash for shelter programmes from the inception of the programme through monitoring and evaluation of the response
Way forward for migrating shelter to cash, where appropriate, in two to three key operations and field missions to work with the shelter and CBI experts in country and with senior management to facilitate the migration.
Lessons learned from the application of the developed tools in country operations, review the tools based on learning and produce case studies to establish evidence based research on the impact of cash based interventions for shelter in a variety of operational contexts (renting, hosting, rehabilitation etc.)
Document learning to feed into the broader Global Shelter Cluster discussion on CASH for shelter, highlighting the quality of the interventions and the protection of the people we serve.
Relevant capacity building material that will be inserted in standard shelter training material, and shelter specific considerations which should be included in general CBI trainings and facilitate training.
Profile of consultant
• At least 8 years of experience in implementing shelter programmes, including 2 years with cash component
• Proven experience in collecting and analysing information
• Knowledge of the UNHCR programmes and its Results Based Management system
• Fluency in English (written and spoken)
• Excellent drafting skills
• Ability to deliver a high-quality product in a timely manner with limited supervision.
• Strong analytical and synthesis skills.
• Excellent interpersonal skills and excellent communication skills (written and oral)
• Prior experience in programme management and M&E related to shelter and settlement is desirable.
How to apply:
Please send before COB 28/07/2017 an email to email@example.com with the title: Consultancy Shelter/Cash and include your CV+ P11 + Motivation letter

I think often it's hard to find time to create because we think creative pursuits are meaningless, that even if it may be beneficial to us it seems like a time waster. BUT for all you fellow lovers of efficiency, creativity CAN be practical as well! For instance, are you having people over? Bake a special cake or delicious cookies the day before. Are you home all day and your bare walls are bugging you? Spend a couple hours making a gallery wall or painting a picture for the mantle. Love crocheting? Make scarves or a hat for Christmas gifts!
Creativity can be practical. I know sometimes we have to make this switch in our mind. Creating and beauty can be practical. It's a win-win!

Softball Bat Reviews
Normally, softball bats are made of metal, hardwood, or any other material approved by the American Softball Association. Usually, a softball bat weighs around 38 oz. (1kg), with a diameter of 2.25 inches (6 cm) and less than 34 inches (86 cm) of height. Generally, all softball bat manufacturers are required to certify their bats with âœ1.20BTFâ and standard BESR (Ball Exit Speed Ratio). DeMarini is among the leading softball manufacturers and has its own variety of fast-pitch and slow-pitch softball bats. Fast-pitch bat models include EVO and F2. The EVO model is flex-tuned with an evolution composite barrel and vibration-taming end cap. The F2 model is flex-tuned with a double-wall DX-1 alloy barrel. Slow-pitch bat models also include EVO and F2. The specifications of EVO model are flex-tuned and half-and-half technology; the specifications of the F2 model are flex-tuned, doublewall DX-1 alloy barrel, and half-and-half technology. All the bats have been approved by ASA, USSSA, ISA, and ISF. A variety of fast- and slow-pitch softball bats are available from Miken. Slow-pitch bat models include Maniac 484 and Maniac 585. Features of the Maniac 484 model include E-Flex and Titan Elemental Technologies, 13.5\"\" barrel, and ASA 2004 and USSSA 1.20 certifications.

David Cameron will come under pressure later this week to accept quotas of migrants from North Africa after 950 people drowned when their overloaded boat capsized 100 miles off the coast of Italy.
The Prime Minister confirmed he will attend an EU summit on Thursday as he described the deaths as "really horrific" and said they represented "very dark days" for Europe.
Italian and Maltese ships on Monday responded to distress calls from two more migrant boats in the Mediterranean carrying up to 450 people between them amid growing anger at the EU's failure to intervene.
Three Turkish immigrants – a man, a woman and a child – were killed when a migrant boat ran aground off the Greek island of Rhodes, while 93 were rescued.
Mr Cameron said that Britain will use "everything we've got" to target the human traffickers and criminals responsible for the crisis. He said Britain will direct its aid budget to stabilise countries and stop people from travelling…

From today's "World Wide Words" (c) Michael Quinion at http://www.worldwidewords.org.
"Drowning, not waving? Several readers denied there was anything wrong with a headline in last week's Sic! section: "Where someone drowns determines their chance of survival." They argued that drowning isn't necessarily fatal because victims can be resuscitated. I was so surprised that I checked the verb in numerous dictionaries. All the definitions include the word die, which reflects the everyday sense of the verb. Drowning may indicate a process but drown is surely final. I wonder if a shift in meaning is developing under the lexicographical radar?"
The issue may be one of conversational implicature (rather than logical entailment) Or not.
I like 'shift of meaning' -- at least it's not 'shift of sense'! (Grice, "Do not multiply senses beyond necessity").

Fighting (Dito Montiel) 2009
Shawn (Channing Tatum) is a young scrapper in New York trying to get by selling cheap crap on the side of the road. He gets into a fight on the streets and two bit hustler Harvey (Terrence Howard) sees that he's quite good. Harvey convinces Shawn to perform in underground boxing for money. Its first for a few grand a fight but then it gets up to 100,000 for the final fight against Shawn's old college wrestling rival *gasp*. Yeah, that sounds lame but it somehow makes sense in the movie and when you get to know the characters.
Fighting. God, even the title gives an air that its bland and just NOTHING. The trailers aren't much better. They just show Tatum fighting generic guys while Terrance Howard looks off into the distance. The truth is however that I really had fun with Fighting. Most of it has to do with the two leads; Tatum and Howard. I had never seen Tatum before but he really did a great job. How do I describe him? Um, picture John Cena except Tatum is actually likable, charming and talented. Okay, you can't imagine that. Um…picture like a more coherent Rocky Balboa I guess. Point is, he carries a good portion of the movie. And Terrance Howard is equally likable as the con man who can't catch a break.
The fights are alright although it sometimes falls victim to the "cinematographer can't hold the damn camera steady" syndrome. One negative is that the build up to the final fight is rather abrupt. You would think there would be more build up and we would learn more about Shawn's rival. Nah, turns out he's just a dick. The movie kind of plays out like the live action adaptation of a Def Jam NY game with Shawn going to different ethnic sections of New York and fighting different dudes with the chance of facing his old rival.
Fighting is kind of like this year's Redbelt. This movie is not as Ebert would say "a cinematic breakthrough". It is a pure cheese B grade exploitation movie through and through. It is held together by the combined charisma of Tatum and Howard and some decent fight scenes (oh and by a surprisingly good super soul soundtrack). It will by no means make my top 20 of the year but I had fun with it. I would say check this movie out when it comes out on DVD.

|Wine Selection at Fix St. James
Located in the central business district of Sydney, Australia, Fix St. James provides its patrons with more than just wine. Through its diverse selection of wine and modest but modern ambience, this intimate wine bistro offers a true wine lovers experience. At Fix St. James, every one of their 200-plus bottles of "juice" has been carefully chosen to express the bistro's eclectic tastes. The owner of Fix St. James, Stuart Knox, stocks his wall to wall shelves with little known varietals crafted by the "hands-on makers, small growers, crazies and fanatics".
Why would an establishment choose wines from unknown producers? Because, Fix St. James believes every bottle has a story to tell, "be it about the place, the grape, or the winemaker". And, it is Stuart Knox's desire to tell these stories. Stocking his winery with wines that truly challenge everything you thought you knew about wine pays homage to these wonderfully unknown vintages. So, if you are looking for a wine experience like no other, find your way to this intimate wine bistro on Sydney's upper Westside and let them pour you a story.Fix St. James' Impressive Twitter Presence
In the three years since he has been tweeting under the @fixstjames username, Stuart Knox has built up a network of over 4,000 followers, creating a community of industry contacts as unique and eclectic as the wines that line his shelves. Understanding that relationships are at the heart of a successful Twitter campaign, Knox cultivates these relationships by engaging in daily dialogue with his followers. When asked how he uses his industry contacts to promote his business on Twitter, Knox replied, "Generally it's a word of mouth thing, not a direct marketing promo vehicle. Having said that, if you're willing to help others promote their business, usually you will get a reciprocal effect".
In addition to his impressive cache of Twitter followers, Stuart Knox has accumulated Tweets upwards of 30,000, establishing himself and his wine bistro as a formidable presence on Twitter. At one point, Stuart Knox was posting, on average, 100 Tweets per day! When asked how he came up with the content to post 100 Tweets in a day, he shared, "I think my average is back to about 30 per day. Sometimes it'll rack up due to long discussions with a group of people. Generally I just post things that are interesting to me or I think would be of interest to those that follow me." Thirty Tweets a day still creates quite an impressive Twitter presence!
As one of Fix St. James' Twitter followers, I often find myself seeking out Stuart's Tweets because of the variety and humor he offers. In one such Tweet, Stuart shares a little wine pairing insight, "the Yarrabank 2007 is just screaming for a bit of aged Reggiano". In another Tweet, Stuart thanks a fellow "wine fanatic", owner of Bonny Doon Vineyard, for coming in to his bistro, "@RandallGraham thanks for coming down. Was great to meet you and try across your wines. Hope to make it your way one day". And, to support what he said about promoting others' via his Twitter stream, Stuart is a regular Retweeter, sharing insights and information from his Twitter community. In one Retweet, he shared a link to an article, "Knives Are Out for No-Show Diners", supporting the restaurant industry's efforts to discourage last minute cancellations or no-shows.
Delivering meaningful content through his magnetic and eclectic personality, it is obvious that Stuart Knox uses his Twitter presence to its fullest by engaging and entertaining his Twitter community on a daily basis.
