In the build up to CITES CoP17 we have been sharing articles from our upcoming newsletter themed around the Conference. We have heard how learning about trends in the illegal ivory trade can inform decision making on elephants and how robust legal protection has the power to reverse population declines.
In our final taster before the full newsletter is released, we hear about fisheries co-management in Burma. Alongside their work with communities developing sustainable co-management plans, the project team is gathering data on shark and ray catches and trade. This can then feed in to international policy making, and support Governments in developing their national conservation strategies.
Burma's marine resources have long provided sustenance to its coastal people. Over 25,000 small-scale fishing vessels are registered to fish its coastline and nearly half of the country's population lives in coastal states and regions. Despite fisheries' importance, Burma has limited capacity for sustainable management.
This overexploitation has resulted in drastic declines of stocks; a 2014 marine survey carried out by Norway showed that pelagic stocks are currently only 10% of their 1979 biomass, with similar estimates for inshore fisheries. Inshore fisheries are of particular concern as the decline directly influences local livelihoods and food security. The impacts of fishing practices on protected marine species, such as dugong, turtles, sharks and rays, are also evident.
Fortunately, the tide is on the turn. The newly elected government of Burma is in the process of decentralising authority of the inshore fisheries sector to its states and regions, a development that provides the platform for empowering local people and enabling fisheries co-management.
In support of this process, WCS is working in southern Rakhine state, and harnessing the needs of local fishers and fish-workers to explore how to rebuild their resources. By working in partnership with the Rakhine Coastal Association, Department of Fisheries, Pyoe Pin and our academic and technical implementing partners (University of Exeter, Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) respectively), we are implementing a participatory process to document catch and effort, and collect social and value chain data (with a reach of over 1,200 fishers). Combined with outreach and training, we are working to improve coastal fisheries governance, secure fishers' tenure for sustainable fisheries management and develop a spatially explicit sustainable co-management plan.
Owing to the political shift towards federalism, the model has significant potential to scale in Rakhine state, and beyond. Working in partnership with EDF, we are assessing additional sites across Burma to ensure our resources offer value for money and impact. Similarly, our work is enabling us to improve knowledge of shark and ray catches and trade. In addition, this is enabling us to support the government of Burma with preparations for CITES CoP17, and to build links with our broader efforts (funded by the UK Government's IWT Challenge Fund) to combat illegal wildlife trade and support the national plan of action for the conservation of sharks.

I love chicken salad, but I am super picky about it and I have a couple of chicken salad rules. First, it can't be drowning in mayonnaise. The second big rule is that I like for it to be chunky. I hate when the chicken is cut up or shredded so small that it is almost non-existent. This rule is especially important when coupled with Rule #1. I also like a little crunch or something to break up the chicken and mayo, whether it's celery, onion, or in this case, mango!!
Given my craziness when it comes to chicken salad, I often just make my own. I have been on a huge mango kick lately. Putting it in salsas and smoothies. Why not put it in some chicken salad? So put it all together and you have some avocado mango chicken salad! And instead of mayo, I went for Greek yogurt. The Greek yogurt gives it that creamy texture and gives it a nice tang. I love the combo of the mango, chicken, and avocado. Of course there is avocado in this. Because you know I can't be helped. This avocado mango chicken salad is creamy, it's nice and chunky, and isn't drowning in mayo. Yup, this meets all of my chicken salad requirements!

This is a guest post by my good friend Marv Penner. Marv is a global youth ministry leader, the author of several books, a professor, leader of Youth Specialties Canada, and prayer warrior. You can follow Marv on Twitter at @marvpenner. If you're interested in writing a guest post, go here for details.
Many of us who head up youth ministries know that this can be one of the most stressful times of our year. The fall program is about to launch (or has already kicked off) and we simply don't have enough volunteers to make it happen.
- We did our recruitment right by starting early and making one-on-one personal appeals to individuals we knew would make great volunteers.
- We talked to some of our key student leaders to get their input on who they perceived to be potentially awesome (i.e. wicked, amped, off-the-hook, phat, sweet, epic, etc) new leaders.
- We presented the ministry opportunity with clarity and even gave people a sample role description and a volunteer staff manual to look over before deciding.
- We invited them to a youth ministry event way back in the spring just to give them a taste of what a volunteer role might look like.
- We told them about the training, resources and support they'd receive as part of the volunteer staff.
- We even allowed our recruits plenty of time to think and pray about it before we got back to them for their decision.
OK, so maybe we didn't do ALL those things, but we did some of them, and we meant to do all of them (and next year we'll do better)… but in the meantime our volunteer train is about to leave the station with way too many empty seats.
When we get to this point it's easy to start feeling frantic, desperate and afraid. After all, building a team is one of our primary tasks. But here's where a lot of us make the mistake of lowering the bar and forever living to regret it.
Let me introduce you to a few last minute volunteers I've pulled onto my team train over the years. They not only became the bane of my ministry existence, but they turned out to be toxic to the team and destructive to our community of students.
1. Larry-Let-Me-Show-You-How-To-REALLY-Do-Youth-Ministry: Larry was a dad who just didn't like the way we were doing youth ministry. Our relational approach that relied on small leader-to-student ratios, shared experiences, life-on-life mentoring, and authentic, emotionally intelligent volunteers was "new-age and unbiblical" as far as he was concerned. I had resisted his volunteering because it just didn't feel right, but in the end when I needed someone… anyone… I caved. Of course I hadn't anticipated how destructive he'd be until he was already on the team and undermining my leadership at every turn in the road. He wanted a "big room" ministry with "solid preaching that'll show these spoiled self-serving kids what the Bible really says to young people." He was passionate, persuasive and divisive. And getting him off the team was a whole lot harder than getting him on. Sadly, when he and his family left our church they took two or three other families with them.
2. Monica-My-Kid-Won't-Survive-Without-Me: Monica was the classic helicopter parent–hovering around her only daughter like a pesky wasp at a bowl of church picnic potato salad. When she found out we were still a few volunteers short she jumped at the opportunity. "I'd love to help out," she gushed. I had some legitimate concerns because her codependent relationship with her kid was pretty obvious, but I needed another female staffer, so against my better judgment I welcomed her to the team. Don't get me wrong… I like small ratio youth ministry, but her "one-to-one" relationship with her daughter was the worst thing that could have possibly happened to that poor kid. Parents can become fabulous volunteers, but when they join the team with only their child in mind they weaken the ministry and spoil the experience for their own kids. Rescue them from themselves by saying a firm, gentle "no thanks."
Part 2 is coming tomorrow (3 more volunteers to be wary of).
Question for today: Can you guess the other 3 volunteers that have bothered Marv? What types of volunteers frustrate you?

Swiss Chard Pie

Another tempting sweet from the Monegasque cuisine – a sweet bread that's topped with oranges, a variety of nuts and raisins. The star anise brings in the required spice to the Fougasse. The fougasse is a much-loved delicacy here and can be easily found in any local bakery here.
The perfect food for your sudden hunger pangs – the Monegasque barbaguian. A fried delicacy, the barbaguian is stuffed with vegetables, rice, chard and some cheese this appetizer is pretty filling, especially when you're on the move. And, it's cheap too!
This one's a kind of focaccia that is peppered with ample of tomatoes, olives and fried onions for that super savory taste. You can have this with a variety of sauces and it is also a perfect side dish for a host of other delicacies. Again, a must try street food when in Monaco!
A staple in Monaco and sold by street vendors throughout Monaco, Socca is a simple yet delicious dish. Socca is a wafery pancake that is made with chickpea flour and olive oil. Sounds bland, but you'll know why it's so talked about when you bite into one!
Apart from these mentioned delicacies, Monaco is a treasure hold when it comes to street food. So whenever you step into Monaco make sure you explore every alley that serves street food here!

Relic is the Endowment of the hunter conspiracy Aegis Kai Doru in Hunter: The Vigil.
While there are many marvelous but trifling Relics that would not help the average member of Aegis Kai Doru in the field, only a few truly useful in the battle against the supernatural are granted to agents. Agents who have gained possession of a Relic to use must have proven themselves extensively, and to have one is a symbol of great status among the Aegis Kai Doru's numbers. Likewise, no greater shame can befall an agent than to have a Relic broken, stolen, or lost on a mission; many who do so ritually kill themselves, especially if the Relic falls into the hands of the supernatural creature they were attempting to defeat with it.
Unlike many other Endowments, Relics can be used by anyone who knows the correct way to activate it; they are not limited to agents, hunters, or supernaturals.
Collected RelicsEdit
- One-Eyed Kings: A set of two coins that can be used to spy on events in another nearby location.
- Skeleton Key: A key that cannot only unlock doors, but remove any trace of an intruder's passage.
- Eye of Hubris: A crystal that interferes with the use of magic in its vicinity.
- Orpheus' Eye: An apparently glass eye that allows the bearer to see into Twilight when held in the palm of the hand.
- Icarine Servitor: A wax doll that can be used as a servant or spy.
- Ringsel: Stones from the remains of a Buddhist master that allow the agent to heal themselves.
- Watchful Keris: A specially-made dagger that allows the bearer to gain the upper hand in an attack.
- Heart of Stone: When an electric current is passed through this stone, it causes great envy and eventually attracts monsters.
- Witch-Candle: A special candlestick with carvings that will attack anyone using magic nearby.
- Aegis Talisman: The agent who wears one gains special protection from physical and magical attacks.
- Dead Man's Face: A mask that can briefly allow a corpse to speak for a few minutes.
- Doru Talisman: A small spear amulet that can be used in the same way as full-sized weapon when needed.
Mage RelicsEdit
Werewolf RelicsEdit
- Blood of Pope Joan: A blessed item that also causes werewolves in its presence to weaken.
- Idol of Gévaudan: A small stone wolf idol, which causes werewolves to fight ferociously over it when splashed with werewolf blood.
- Phylactery of Commius: An ancient, small box that, when bound with a spirit, slows the aging of the bearer, causes the spirit to take damage for them, and helps the bearer speak with spirits.
Fae RelicsEdit
- The Silver Key: A key that opens a door to the Hedge for approximately one minute, once per location.
Demon RelicsEdit
- Heart of the Succubus: A round, bronze object about the size of a large man's palm, and resembles a modern-day compass that detects demons in defiance of their Cover.
Beast RelicsEdit
- Dream Relic: This isn't a normal Relic; it's an enhancement or modification to an existing Relic. This represents a Relic that's been physically destroyed or otherwise lost forever, so now it only exists within the scope of dreams. The user is somehow bound to the destroyed Relic, so it appears with her whenever she manifests in a dream.
- Perseus' Mirrored Shield: The story goes, Athena gave this shield to Perseus so he could look into it and see Medusa's reflection, protecting him from her petrifying gaze. He used this to behead the Beast. Now, the shield has a similar use; it protects the wielder from bestial Dread Powers.
- Saint George's Sword: This ancient broadsword was used by a soldier in Libya over one thousand years ago. The story says that fifteen thousand people converted to Christianity as recompense for the soldier's work in slaying a great, poisonous dragon. Now, the sword has been kept as a legendary monster-slaying tool, specifically used against monsters and able to cause bleeding easily.
Slasher RelicsEdit
- Mask of Terror: Made from the face of a serial killer or a mask possessed by one, this relic inspires terror in those who look upon it similar to the terror the killer once inspired in a victim.

Journalism legend Ted Koppel, who anchored ABC's Nightline for 25 years and won 25 Emmy Awards for his reporting, said news outlets such as The New York Times and Washington Post have decided that President Donald Trump "is bad for the United States," that they tried to stop him from being elected in 2016, and that many in the press today are not a "reservoir of objectivity."
"We are not the reservoir of objectivity that they [public] think we were," Koppel said to veteran journalist Marvin Kalb on March 7 at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, D.C. Koppel and Kalb had gathered to speak publicly about Kalb's newest book, Enemy of the People: Trump's War on the Press, The New McCarthyism, and The Threat to American Democracy.
After Kalb had spoken at length about President Trump's criticism of the press and why he thinks the attacks are unfair, Koppel said, "I'm terribly concerned that when you talk about the New York Times these days, when you talk about the Washington Post these days, we're not talking about the New York Times of 50 years ago. We are not talking about the Washington Post of 50 years ago."
"We're talking about organizations that I believe have, in fact, decided as organizations that Donald J. Trump is bad for the United States," said Koppel. "We have things appearing on the front page of The New York Times right now that never would have appeared 50 years ago – analysis, commentary on the front page."
"I remember," he said, "sitting at the breakfast table with my wife during the campaign after the Access Hollywood tape came out and The New York Times -- and I will not offend any of you here by using the language but you know exactly what words were used -- and they were spelled out on the front page of The New York Times. I turned to my wife and I said, 'The Times is absolutely committed to making sure that this guy does not get elected.'"
"So, his perception that the establishment press is out to get him doesn't mean that great journalism is not being done – it is," said Koppel, who worked as a reporter and anchor for 20 years at ABC before taking point at Nightline. "But the notion that most of us look upon Donald Trump as being an absolute fiasco, he is not mistaken in that perception."
"And he's not mistaken when so many of the liberal media, for example, describe themselves as belonging to the Resistance," said Koppel. "What does that mean? That's not said by people who consider themselves reporters, objective reporters of facts."
"That's the kind of language that's used by people who genuinely believe -- and I rather suspect with some justification -- that Donald Trump is bad for the United States, and the sooner he's out of office, the better they will like it," he said. "Whether that happens by indictment, impeachment, or election, we'll see."
"But I disagree with you, Marvin," said Koppel. "We are not the reservoir of objectivity that they think we were."
Koppel's remarks were videotaped by broadcast journalist Nicholas Ballasy, a former reporter for CNSNews.com.

This is going to be one heck of a blog post for being my first one back. So buckle up, snag tissues and chocolate and let's go.
My momma is dying. No, she is being snatched away from us by the vile, hateful, straight from the pits of hell beast that is cancer. And by snatched I mean, she was healthy 4 weeks ago and today we have hospice care. We have had 21 days to get our heads around the fact that she is even sick.
How does a person wrap their heads around a diagnosis of cancer? Beyond that, when it rampages through and robs you blind, how do you cope? Our family has the gift and blessing of faith. We are leaning into our faith and claiming God's promises that her healing will come as soon as she shakes off this faulty shell. But I had to find that promise for myself this morning. I had to see it in black and white.
1 Corinthians 15:35-38; 42-44; 53-58
35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?" 36 You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies; 37 and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of [k]something else. 38 But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown [l]a perishable body, it is raised [m]an imperishable body; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
53 For this [s]perishable must put on [t]the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 But when this [u]perishable will have put on [v]the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?" 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; 57 but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
As we have fielded phone call after phone call and poured over every card, it has been laid out plainly and in technicolor for us. Momma didn't wait to shed her perishable body to start growing fruit. Eighteen years of teaching have yielded fields of children, families, and coworkers who have been mentored, amused, and changed by Mrs. Diven's life and lessons. Call her school and ask to be put on hold – her legacy is found in every voice singing "I Surrender All." Forty years of friendships are revealing the joy and laughter that Mom brought to everyone who crossed her path. Her gift for sewing is remembered by my senior play cast as they thank her for Fiddler on the Roof costumes from 20 years ago.
We mourn our loss of course. But we know that she will shed her perishable frame and fruit will continue to grow and ripen as a result of her life.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.
I am impressed then to find that "bare grain" that was planted in me by my Momma and use it to bring honor and glory to God while I'm still in my perishable packaging. To press forward and know that with His direction and guidance, it will not be in vain but will stretch her legacy beyond me.
For us it was writing. Momma loved to take the tales of her grandchildren, my father's escapades, or just every day life and pass them through the lens of God and His word. She would call me and say, "Go online and pull up the paper! Captain Splinter Foot (or whichever grandchild had made that week's cut) is Juniata County famous." We'll never know how many people saw those articles. We'll never know who read them and how they were affected.
So I have decided to pick up that mantle. I fear I will not do it quite as well as an eighteen year veteran steeped in hymns and scripture might but I will try. I will work for the Lord as long as my perishable packaging will allow.

Verifying IoCs with Snort and TraceWrangler
After detecting a network breach it is a good idea to scan the network for further Indicators of Compromise (IoC) to check for further malicious activity. The IoCs are usually derived from forensic investigations into network packets and compromised hosts, and can be quite unique when it comes to more sophisticated attacks (let's avoid mentioning the APT buzzword here… oh, wait… darn!).

When news spread that The Citadel was considering the first-ever exception to its strict uniform requirements to allow an admitted student to wear a hijab in keeping with her Muslim faith, reaction was intense.
Some welcomed the possibility as an important symbol of religious freedom, but for many in the tight-knit community of cadets and alumni, the very idea of an exception was anathema because the ideals of loyalty, uniformity, and corps-before-self are so central to the storied public military college's mission and traditions.
And at a time when the role of Islam in U.S. culture is so divisive — with national leaders and political candidates arguing whether the religion is one of violence or whether the fight against extremist terrorists is in no way a fight against the Muslim faith — the idea of making an exception for a Muslim student was particularly powerful for many on campus and far beyond.

Cases of cats and dogs being attacked in their gardens were also reported.
Wildlife experts said that most onslaughts were likely to be the work of young cubs learning how to hunt and who have no fear of humans and their environment.
Female foxes with young are also more likely to behave aggressively if they feel under threat.
The reports follow the mauling of nine-month old twin girls, Isabella and Lola Koupparis, in east London this week.
Anne Cann, an Age Concern volunteer from New Malden in Surrey, woke in the early of hours last August to the sound of her elderly cat, Romulus, being attacked.
She grappled with the fox for several minutes before it released her pet but it had to be destroyed.
Mrs Cann, 74, said: "It hung on to the poor old cat and wouldn't let it go. I picked up it up by it's hind legs and I shook it and I bashed it and it just hung on.
"I got quite badly injured and bitten in the process."
Peter Crowden, chairman of the National Pest Technicians Association, described foxes as "very territorial". He said: "Urban foxes will go into gardens and attack puppies.
"Fox cubs as they learn to hunt are not afraid of humans so they will hunt in people's gardens. People don't appreciate that these are wild animals and at times they encourage them by feeding them."
Trevor Williams, director of The Fox Project, said females with cubs were the most dangerous. He said: "When they are tiny mothers are very protective because cats kill a lot of fox cubs every year. By this time of year, however, most cubs are almost fully grown."
Pauline Koupparis, 40, whose daughters were bitten in their cots on Saturday, has called for greater controls on the urban fox population.
Isabella is being treated at Great Ormond Street for injuries to her arm while Lola is at the Royal London Hospital after suffering wounds to her face.
Meanwhile other parents have come forward with similar experiences.
Marc Sheppard's five month-old son Phillip was bitten in the face when a fox climbed into his pram in the conservatory at their home in South London in 1996. His wife found the fox on top of the boy and shooed it away.
Mr Sheppard warned: "People should not be in denial, if there is a fox in a high risk area it should be removed."
Stephanie Boyer, 46, rescued her three year-old son Louis from a fox as he played in their front garden in Wandsworth in 2000. She said: "As I pushed my son in front of me it was literally upon us.
"It banged into the door as I slammed it shut. It really felt like a full on attack."

Negligence, Employer's liability.
In an action at common law by one, who was employed by the defendant to operate a riveting machine, to recover for personal injuries alleged to have been caused by the plug of a petcock on the machine being blown out and striking the plaintiff in the eye, the plaintiff can recover if he shows that he was in the exercise of due care and that the injury was due to the facts that the petcock was not a suitable and proper one for the use to which it was put and that it was defective when it was put on, although it appears that the petcock was procured from the defendant's stock room where there were other petcocks of different shapes and sizes, if it does not appear that there was in the stock room any petcock suitable for the need which the fellow employee sought to satisfy.
At the trial of an action by one, who was employed by the defendant to operate a riveting machine, to recover for personal injuries caused by a plug of a defective or unsuitable petcock on the machine being blown out and striking the plaintiff, it appeared that the plaintiff had worked on hydraulic riveting machines for about thirty years, that the machine at which he was injured was operated by compressed air instead of by water pressure and that it had been installed by the defendant for four weeks only, which constituted the plaintiff's entire experience with such a machine, that the petcock in question was procured from the defendant's stock room and by him was put into the machine, the plaintiff having nothing to do with the installation; and the plaintiff testified that he had never repaired the machine himself, although he had helped to do so, that he "did nothing but run the machine," that he was not a machinist and never had had any experience with machinery except in using it, that the only thing he had done with the petcock was to open it and close it about six times in four weeks, that he knew nothing of how it was made or of its inner construction, that he never had had anything to do with putting on petcocks, that for some time before the accident the machine had been giving him trouble, that he had thought something was wrong with the pump and repeatedly had reported its condition, and that the machine "kicked . . . every little while." Held, that it could not be ruled as matter of law that the plaintiff knew and appreciated and therefore assumed the risk of working with the defective petcock; and that the question whether he was exercising due care was for the jury.
TORT with counts at common law and under R. L. c. 106, § 71, cl. 1, for personal injuries resulting to the plaintiff while he was in the defendant's employ and as described in the opinion.
Page 341
Writ in the Superior Court for the county of Middlesex dated July 9, 1906.
The case was tried before Sherman, J. The facts are stated in the opinion. At the close of the evidence, the presiding judge submitted the case to the jury for the assessment of damages only. The jury assessed the damages at $5,000. Thereupon the presiding judge ordered a verdict for the defendant and by agreement of the parties reported the case for determination by this court, judgment to be entered for the defendant upon the verdict if the ruling of the trial judge was right, otherwise judgment to be entered for the plaintiff for $5,000 unless this court should be of opinion that the action could be maintained only under R. L. c. 106, § 71, cl. 1, in which case judgment was to be entered for the plaintiff for $4,000.
G. L. Mayberry, (T. F. Carey with him,) for the plaintiff.
J. Lowell & J. A. Lowell, for the defendant
Hammond, J. While the plaintiff in the employ of the defendant was operating a riveting machine in the usual manner, the plug of a petcock which had been placed upon the machine by the defendant blew out and struck him in the eye, causing him great bodily injury. The case involves the usual questions of due care of the plaintiff and negligence of the defendant. We have carefully read the evidence, and without reciting it in detail, we think it warrants findings that the petcock in question was not a suitable and proper petcock to be used on a machine liable to be subjected to pressure as high as that to which this machine, in its ordinary use, was subjected; that it was defective when put on; that at the time of the accident the defect was the cause of the blowing out of the plug; and that in attaching this petcock to the machine the defendant did not use reasonable care for the protection of the plaintiff and other employees having occasion to use the machine. Nor does the fact that this particular petcock was selected by Pomeroy or Hewett relieve the defendant. It does not appear that there was any different or stronger petcock furnished by the defendant which could have been selected. For aught that appears this is precisely the kind of petcock the defendant intended should be put on. There is no evidence of a mistake in selecting a defective tool from a pile
Page 342
where there were tools not defective. The plaintiff was therefore entitled to go to the jury on the question of the negligence of the defendant.
There was also evidence of the due care of the plaintiff. It is argued, however, by the defendant, that the plaintiff was an experienced workman and that if there was any defect in the petcock it was his business to detect it and make the necessary repairs; and it must be said that there is considerable evidence in support of that view. On this point however the plaintiff testified as follows: "I had worked on the riveting machine up there about four weeks. Since it started it run bad she hadn't been running exactly right. This petcock had been put in about a month before the accident. I had nothing to do with putting it in. Mr. Pomeroy put it in. The use of air instead of hydraulic was a new thing, and sometimes it wouldn't drive the rivets as it ought to, and I had to take them out. They had just commenced to use air instead of hydraulic on this machine about four weeks before. I had not worked on the air machine before this accident. I don't know what was the matter with this machine; it wouldn't drive the rivets as it ought to. There had been repairing done on this machine during those four weeks by Mr. Pomeroy. I had helped around. I had never repaired that machine myself. I had helped Mr. Pomeroy to repair it. My work was that I was supposed to drive rivets. I did nothing but run the machine. I am not a machinist. I never had any experience with machinery except in using it. I was used to hydraulics. I had nothing to do with the machine except to operate it, run it, use it. I had nothing to do with the petcock. I never did anything to it, only to open it and let the water out once or twice. I never examined it. I do not know how they were made. I did not know what the internal construction of these petcocks was how they were fastened together."
On cross-examination he testified as follows: "I had worked on riveting machines for about thirty or thirty-one years. My work had been driving rivets. I drove them first with hydraulic pressure and last with air. During all these years there had been petcocks in these machines. I had to open them to let the air out. I never opened that one more than twice. There was
Page 343
no air on the other ones. Those where there was water pressure I opened every night when it was cold weather. ... I have seen petcocks for twenty-eight years, but not that kind, nor on that machine. I have unscrewed them in cold weather for twenty-eight years. I knew what petcocks were. I knew a part about them. I knew their purpose was to let the water out. I had run machines for twenty-eight years. I had one man and a couple of boys under me. I had helped Pomeroy repair machines in this factory. I was helping him set this machine up in South Framingham. I helped other machinists on the riveting machine at Cambridge. I couldn't say how oftenwhenever there was a riveting machine out of order. I never had anything to do with putting on petcocks. I saw them put on. I was about the machine when petcocks were being put on. Sometimes they were put on when I was away. I had seen them put on perhaps half a dozen times. I had been in the stock room and had seen petcocks there. The petcock used as an exhibit was something similar to the one that was on the machine. I couldn't say whether the screws were the same thread. It looks the same quarter inch. The petcock put on in South Framingham differed from the one on the machine in Cambridge only in the stem and the thumbscrew was there. There was a thumbscrew on the side instead of this little handle. It had the same parts. I don't think there was a washer on those in Cambridge. I don't know whether there was a washer on the machine in South Framingham. The petcock was screwed into the pipe. The machine had been giving us trouble for some days before the accident. I thought there was something wrong with the pump I reported it. It wasn't working right on the day of the accident. I reported that. It was still working badly at the time. It commenced to work better and then it commenced to kick again, every little while. I unscrewed the petcock to let the air out. I had probably done it half a dozen times in the four weeks. There were working under me at the time a couple of boys and a 'steadier' a man to steady the machine. The room where the machine was was part of the shop and there were men all around there, but only four of us on the platform. It was the same machine I had worked on in Cambridge but not
Page 344
the same force; air instead of hydraulic; that was the only difference."
While it thus appears that the plaintiff had used petcocks many years, yet the plaintiff had been working where there was not the same force used as at the time of the accident. Compressed air was used and had been for several weeks; and the evidence would warrant a finding that while the plaintiff knew how to use a petcock he had no knowledge of the strength required to meet successfully the pressure exerted on this machine. Although the machine had been working badly he testified that he thought there was "something wrong with the pump." And for aught that appears in the evidence that may have been the primary cause of the bad action of the machine. This action he testified he reported. While the case is close it could not be ruled as matter of law that the plaintiff knew and appreciated, and therefore assumed, the risk of working with this defective petcock, or that it was his duty to see that it was safe.
The evidence would support a finding upon the common law count. Hannan v. American Steel & Wire Co. 193 Mass. 127. Erickson v. American Steel & Wire Co. 193 Mass. 119. Moynihan v. Hills Co. 146 Mass. 586. Gregory v. American Thread Co. 187 Mass. 239, and cases cited.
In accordance with the terms of the report there is to be entered
Judgment for the plaintiff for $5,000.

Renal Denervation Lowers Blood Pressure in Drug-Resistent Hypertensive Patients
According to a study presented at the annual American Heart Association meeting, the EnligHTN renal denervation system (St. Jude Medical) provided a safe, effective, and sustained reduction in office and ambulatory blood pressure measurements in drug-resistant hypertensive patients at 6 months.
Renal denervation is a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of patients with drug-resistant hypertension. The specialized ablation procedure targets nerves in the renal arteries leading to the kidneys and has been clinically proven to reduce blood pressure. Normal blood pressure is below 120/80 mm Hg. Hypertension is defined as blood pressure greater than 140/90 mm Hg. The risk of cardiovascular death is reduced by half with every 20-mm Hg decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP).
A prospective, multicenter feasibility study, the EnligHTN I trial treated 46 patients whose blood pressure remained resistant despite being treated with three antihypertensive medications and a diuretic. To be considered for the study, patients were required to have SBP greater than or equal to 160 mm Hg (or 150 mm Hg for patients with type 2 diabetes). The patients' average blood pressure was 176/96 mm Hg.
Patients treated with the EnligHTN renal denervation system experienced an average SBP reduction of 28 mm Hg after 30 days.
At 6 months:
- An average SBP reduction of 26 mm Hg points was maintained.
- 76% of patients responded to treatment and had an average office blood pressure of 150/86 mm Hg.
- No serious acute device- or therapy-specific adverse events were reported.
The EnligHTN system is a multi-electrode ablation technology for renal denervation. An ablation catheter delivers radiofrequency energy to create lesions (tiny scars) along the renal sympathetic nerves — a network of nerves that help control blood pressure. The intentional disruption of this nerve supply causes blood pressure — both systolic and diastolic — to decrease.

BKS Iyengar 14th December 1918 – 20th August 2014.
BKS Iyengar studied and taught for over 75 years. His dedication and practice continues to inspire pupils of yoga to this day all over the world.
His classic book "light on yoga" was first published in 1966 and has been translated to eighteen languages.
He created the Ramani Iyengar Memorial yoga Institute (RIMYI) in Pune, India in 1975, where his daughter Geeta, son Prashant and granddaughter Abhyata continue to teach with dedication and devotion.
He believed yoga was for everyone and said
Yoga is for all of us. To limit yoga to national or cultural boundaries is the denial of universal consciousness.
The Teaching System
BKS Iyengar is the founder of a system that brings precise alignment of the body.
Pupils learn through a safe methodical and progressive system with detailed correctness and alignment of the body. When necessary supports called "props" are used to allow students to progress in their practice and where there is stiffness or injury thus allowing them to practice safely at their own pace. Beginners work in a basic way on simple postures according to their capabilities and as pupils develop they then move on to a more detailed and refined way of working as well as more complex postures.
The Certification Mark
The certification mark is a guarantee that your teacher is fully trained, qualified and certified by BKS Iyengar's institute, The RIMYI, in Pune, India. It is a recognised benchmark internationally of excellence, clarity and depth of understanding.
All IY (UK) teachers pass examinations after a minimum of three years of study followed by two years of teacher training. They then go on to follow a continuous professional development programme. This logo also means your teacher is insured, holds an up to date registration and maintains their development.

Well I did it.. I put down the deposit. I am taking the Street Yoga Teacher Training in July. Financially it is a struggle for me to take this course (actually any additional training at this point causes some financial distress in my life) but I am really inspired by the work they do and think it will be worthwhile regardless. I have my own "street experience". I moved out of home at a very young age and spent many of my teen years living like a gypsy, travelling constantly, sleeping on the streets or in abandoned buildings. I lived in many different crazy houses filled to the brim with other odd folk like me. I squatted a cabin on a beach in what has now become a provincial park. These were some of the best times of my life, and some of the worst.
Throughout all of these experiences I became pretty disconnected with my body. I pushed it, pierced it, poisoned it, injured it… I thought I was being "tough" but in reality I was just being rough on myself both emotionally and physically. I thought I was finding solutions, turning my back away from the greed and trappings of society, and in truth I did learn a lot about myself and the world during this time…but I also became hardened and numb. I have gone through many periods since then of healing myself. Yoga has been part of the healing process for me, but not the whole story. Still, I WISH there had been street yoga offered when I was my mad rambling gypsy teen self. I did spend some time hanging out at a street oriented art studio in East Van (Brenda Carr Studio Society).. it was a touch point and life saver for me. Somewhere I could go to ground myself. Somewhere safe. I think if yoga had been introduced to me at that point in my life it could have been a tool that I used to find that safe grounded space within myself. I probably would have drank less. I probably would have kicked and hit less things. I think I would have been gentler with myself.

(Tinley Park, IL) – This October, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), the Crisis Center for South Suburbia (CCSS) will Light Up the Night with their inaugural Dance 4 Awareness (D4A) event on October 29 from 4-10pm. The fundraiser will be the culmination of a month-long campaign to bring light to the issue of domestic violence and its impact on our community. Individuals and teams of all levels and abilities are invited to dance in this energetic club-like event in order to raise awareness and funds to help end domestic abuse.
The event, held at Moraine Valley Community College, will include four dance theme hours played out by Chicago's DJ John Herrera. Local dance instructors Matt Smigaj, Denise Camin, Dawn and the Dancin' Deevas, and Momentum Dance Studio will kick off each hour by performing and teaching moves in the genre. Dancers will then be invited out on the floor for open dance and to break out their best moves for dance contests to close out each hour. A Halloween costume contest, raffles, and more will keep the energy of the evening going.
For those with two left feet who are hesitant to participate, Kerri Twietmeyer, D4A committee member assures them, "We won't judge. It's DV Awareness month and we're all getting out of our comfort zone to help save a life. Whether that's saying something to a friend who is in a rough situation, calling the CCSS hotline to make a counseling appointment for yourself or…dancing at our Dance 4 Awareness on October 29th, we're all in this together to see lives changed."
Admission for the event is $25. Dancers and team supporters who raise $175 or more in donations per dancer will receive an all-access pass to event dance floor for all 6 hours, two each of food and drink tickets, a D4A T-Shirt and goody bag, and a personalized online fundraising page. Proceeds from the event go toward services and education programs offered by CCSS. Donations are tax deductible. For those not raising funds, time on the dance floor can be purchased for $10 per theme hour. Food, beverages and concessions will also be available for purchase. For more information or to register visit www.ccssd4a.com.
A special thank you to Exelon, Accord Carton Co., Rotary Club of Tinley Park and Frankort, and the myriad of other companies who have shown their care and support through sponsorship of the event.
D4A is about coming together as a community to shed light on the topic of domestic violence and the resources available through the Crisis Center. Join the movement and Light Up the Night in honor of victims and survivors who have endured the darkness of abuse in their lives. Take a stand this October. Get involved and make a difference for someone in need of hope.

Not only is there nothing to bet on, theres been so much called off theres not even anything to watch, never mind gamble. Premiership games called off is a shocker in this day and age, all this safety stuff, but the rugby league games went ahead not a bother, and Ipswich played on a full pitch of snow without underground heating.
Not much craic this week, Eng collapsing twice cost me money, not too bad at -€134, I can forgive one collapse but not two in the same game - thats Pakistan stuff FFS. Even India today, scored 130ish first go and get 450 second, will still lose but even so its putting up a fight isnt it, under 200 twice is just gash, good bowling, but Eng batting is stronger than that, obviously. But one of those things really, no point dwelling on it because its so random.
I wanted to do the darts last night but then watched the first game and wanted to kill myself. Anyone that saw it will understand. Worst. Game. Ever. Smith had a higher average at just 80, missed 26 darts at doubles, Hamilton won 3-0, it was terrible viewing.
-€106 on the week but got +€36 from Saffers v India (missed the first day and wasnt here to see the draw go 1.4s, head in hands man) which should settle tomorrow so it wasnt that bad a week, and always going to lose given Eng batting, I still reckon supporting Eng more so than Aus will end up being profitable over the whole series so no complaints.
Hopefully the snow buggers off soon. Glad we got the Fairyhouse card in on Wednesday, was a cracking days racing probably the best we'll have here all year, lost Navan today and Punchestown tomorrow, and starting to get a little nervous over Leopardstown at Christmas - that'll be the ultimate disaster, I cant even remember a Christmas without Leop! Was my first meeting to be ever brought to too, backed no winners all day, think I was fivers only back then, but had a chase bet of 20 pounds old money on a 9/1 outsider of four in the bumper and he lead all the way. My Grandad counted it out in the old red 20 notes, and I felt RICH that day, asked him to bring me with him every weekend from there on in. If that horse lost I probably would have grown up hating gambling, funny old world.. I saw Istabraq win that day too.

"It takes a long time to become young," Pablo Picasso once said. He was talking about the kind of art he wanted to create, but he may as well have been speaking of his birthplace, Málaga. The southern Spanish port town is one of the oldest cities in the world, occupied at various points through its 2,800-year history by the Phoenicians, the Romans and the Arabs, all of whom left behind their own distinctive architecture and design, the most spectacular of which is the 11th-century Moorish Alcazaba, made of a series of formidable ramparts of buff-colored stone overlooking the Alboran Sea.
And while those empires may have fallen and the seats of power may now be elsewhere, Málaga itself is newly relevant — not for nation-builders, but for culture-seekers, who throng its medieval streets visiting its surplus of museums. Along with, of course, the Museo Picasso Málaga, there's the striking Centre Pompidou Málaga, the Iberian branch of the famous Parisian museum of modern art — partly a huge, playful cube of multicolored glass that catches the sun; the year-old outpost of the Russian Museum, housed in a former tobacco factory; a satellite of Madrid's Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum; and the CAC Málaga (Centro de Arte Contemporáneo). In addition, there's also the MAUS (Málaga Arte Urbano Soho) project in the city's not-very-originally named Soho district. Here, a clutch of renowned international artists, such as Kenny Scharf and the Madrid-based painter Abraham Lacalle, have been invited by Fernando Francés, the director of the CAC Málaga, to use the city's walls as their canvas; most of the contributions to date are by local artists.
Add to this a recent restaurant and bar boom, a thriving cafe scene and a forthcoming luxury hotel — the Gran Miramar Málaga, opening later this year — and you have a place where everything old is, finally, new again.
Hotel Vincci Selección Posada del Patio
This recently opened hotel has an ideal central location, spacious, light-flooded rooms and, best of all, a large rooftop swimming pool. Make sure to note the building's exterior, which was designed around the excavated remains of the Moorish walls that once surrounded the city.
La Cosmopolita
This lively tapas bar, with its Mediterranean décor, is the place where locals go to eat Málagan specialties like antojo (eggs, potatoes and ham), fried sardines and shrimp tartare. 34-95-221-5827
Café Central
In order to beat the heat, Málagans start their evenings late and party until dawn ... which explains the appeal of the traditional sugar-rich Spanish breakfast of churros, a lemony muffin called a Magdalena and thick hot chocolate. Have yours at Central, one of the oldest and most popular cafes in the city. 34-95-222-4972
José Carlos Garcia Restaurante
This sleek Michelin-starred restaurant with an outdoor terrace serves chef José Carlos Garcia's brilliant tasting menus. While ever-changing, they might include dishes like shrimp beignets with kimchi and muscatel grapes, monkfish liver with sweet tomato and miso soup and suckling pig with pineapple.
Not only are the tapas-cum-sushi and sushi-cum-tapas outstanding at this restaurant, the people-watching is terrific, too. The menu proves how the marriage of the seafood-centric Málagan kitchen and the equally (though different) seafood-centric Asian kitchen can make delicious mates with dishes like crispy shrimp omelets, Vietnamese rolls stuffed with wild mountain goat and tempura sushi rolls filled with asparagus and mushrooms.
This Málaga institution, housed in an 18th-century mansion near the Museo Picasso Málaga, has long been a favorite among the city's most esteemed residents, including the actor (and Málaga native) Antonio Banderas and Salvador Dalí. The wine bar-restaurant encompasses a maze of small rooms and hidden patios, with views of the Alcazaba and the neighboring Roman ampitheatre.
Sample some of the best craft beers made in Spain at this new (and very popular) beer bar. The spot offers more than 250 different types of brews, and the owners make their own blends for local holidays.
Ricardo del Cid Fernandez
You can find beautifully crafted sombreros, Panama hats and straw beach bonnets at this superb old-school millinery in the Old Town — it's a veritable time capsule of southern Spanish style and gentility. 34-95-222-2703
A recently opened Arab-style hammam in the center of the city, Hammam Al Andalus has beautiful tiled walls and marble floors and offers a variety of massages and treatments. The best is the Al Andalus ritual, which includes a bath, exfoliation and a relaxing massage, followed by mint tea in the resting room, which is dreamily lit by lanterns and candles.
Jardín Botánico - Histórico La Concepción
Founded in 1994, one of the largest botanical gardens in Europe — 56 acres in total — is a lush and shady place for a stroll. The main garden has a dazzling collection of palm trees, including rare and primitive species, along with bamboo, birds of paradise and cycads. Bring some ham and cheese for a picnic afterward.

(Yicai Global) March 26 -- Chinese internet titan Tencent Holdings Ltd. has taken frequent moves lately to acquire shares in China's well-known retail companies and formed strategic partnership with them. However, its real interest lies in neither retail nor even business, but the underlying connection. Tencent is looking to develop cloud computing, AI, and financial services from the retail industry, Tencent founder Ma Huateng said at the China (Shenzhen) IT Summit 2018 yesterday.
Tencent has invested heavily to buy the assets of new retail and carved out its position in new retail, which perplexes many people. "The reason is that we notice changes in many demands. Instead of targeting new retail, we strive to connect WeChat users with offline physical stores, thereby gaining many benefits and business opportunities," Ma said.
WeChat, an intelligent messaging and payment app and mobile social network Tencent developed, has the largest pool of users and output in China.
Tencent values connection. After users purchase goods by scanning a QR code with their WeChat app, WeChat connects them in both online and offline channels, after which Tencent can reap corresponding benefits, Ma noted.
"It was generally believed that new economy and traditional industry were mutually exclusive. In fact, they are complementary, such as intelligent retail."
Second, the focus is cloud. Cloud computing supports the real industry and empowers the traditional industry via AI or Big Data. Tencent's cloud computing business will surely benefit from a sound connection, Ma said.
Third is advertisement. Stores in the past advertised their products by traditional means of offline promotion and leaflet distribution, which were not highly efficient. Going forward, Tencent will place advertisements in social networks digitally, to gain higher advertisement revenue. It cherishes the opportunities brought by advertisements, Ma noted.
Tencent has recently bought shares in traditional retail and carried out new retail technological cooperation. Traditional retailers, including Carrefour China, Yonghui Superstores Co., Better Life Commercial Chain Share Co., Chengdu Hongqi Chain Co and Liqun Commercial Group Co., have become Tencent partners.

Weathering the Weather
When Hurricane Andrew roared through Florida and the Gulf Coast states in August 1992, it reached Category 5 intensity and caused catastrophic damage. ASTM Committee E06 on Performance of Buildings responded by developing a test method and a specification dealing with the performance of exterior windows, curtain walls, doors and impact protective systems affected by windborne debris in hurricanes. The goal was to make buildings more resilient, or better able to withstand natural disasters and recover from them more quickly.
Today, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy, and with predictions of increasingly severe weather events worldwide, ASTM members are developing a new guide for assessing the resilience of buildings (WK49227). Led by Subcommittee E06.55 on Performance of Building Enclosures, this effort will help municipalities, design professionals, property owners and facility managers.
"The primary objectives of implementing resiliency strategies is to protect people and property investments and to lessen the disruption to our normal activities caused by adverse events," says Brett Farbstein, ASTM's technical contact for the new work item. Farbstein, a senior commissioning engineer and project manager for CanonDesign, also leads his firm's resiliency task force.
There is a wealth of information available on building resilience that already incorporates ASTM standards. This includes the online "Whole Building Design Guide" (managed by the National Institute of Building Sciences) and an online catalog being developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. However, Farbstein notes, "there's not yet a whole building resiliency standard or assessment tool available."
"One way to define resiliency is the ability of a material, assembly or whole building to recover from exposure," says Theresa Weston, a technical fellow with DuPont Building Innovations. "Resilience depends on the nature and extent of the exposure and the ability of a given material, assembly or building to return to an operable condition. Resiliency starts with durability to standard conditions and then expands to resistance or recoverability from extreme short-duration exposures."
In other words, building resilience is an especially broad topic that touches all sorts of scenarios associated with everyday and extreme natural events, including heavy precipitation, flooding, severe winds, blizzards, earthquakes, extreme hot and cold, and man-made catastrophes like terrorism. So ensuring a building's resilience can include: installing proper insulation, operable windows and solar-shading devices; locating mechanical equipment on the roof; and using more blast-proof materials.
The proposed new ASTM guide for assessing a building's resilience is likely to include building component testing and selection, building operations and maintenance, and overall building performance. In addition to including existing ASTM standards, the guide will also identify areas where new standards are needed.
Already, Farbstein's group has developed a list of almost 50 published ASTM standards and five work items relevant to the proposed guide. The standards cover such concerns as:
Standards associated with limiting water damage are especially important, says Weston. "When examining the resilience of a material, system or building, we must make sure we include long-term exposure to precipitation. A large percentage of construction failures are associated with long-term water intrusion at low levels, which needs to continue to be addressed, while addressing one-time, extreme-exposure events."
In particular, she cites the relevance of ASTM guides for limiting water-induced damage to buildings, evaluating water leakage of building walls, and designing and constructing low rise frame building wall systems to resist water intrusion. Notably, Farbstein's group plans to incorporate ASTM test methods associated with flood damage resistance and a guideline for using infrared technology for investigating water intrusion in buildings.
Two additional work items will address designing buildings to provide physical protection from vehicular threats and to shelter a building's exterior from blast loading due to terrorist attacks.
The proposed guide for building resilience assessment will include input from several committees, especially those dealing with building materials and assemblies. This collaboration will involve Committees D08 on Roofing and Waterproofing, C11 on Gypsum and Related Building Materials and Systems, and C16 on Thermal Insulation.
Farbstein adds, "It is foreseeable that the topic of resiliency will eventually include committees dealing with utilities and transportation infrastructure because resiliency is also a city and regional issue that is beyond the scope of individual buildings, but has a direct impact on building operations and recovery."
Subcommittee E06.55's efforts will complement NIST's ongoing work to create a Community Disaster Resilience Framework, and establish the NIST Community Resilience Center of Excellence as well as a Disaster Resilience Standards Panel that will provide guidance to local governments and suggest the development of new standards.
Looking forward, building resilience will be a continuing focus of attention of Committee E06. "It's a good fit for our committee," says Anne Spinks, committee chair and research scientist with H.B. Fuller Co. "As the idea of building resiliency becomes more widespread, more standards will be developed that relate to how buildings function."
A well-designed building can be beautiful and perfect for its purpose. It must also resist the forces of nature. The devastating effects of moisture damage after Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy are just two examples of the long-term impact of bad weather.
To help those who design, build, sell, maintain and own buildings to prevent or cope with moisture damage, an ASTM manual addresses Moisture Control in Buildings, the Key Factor in Mold Prevention (Manual 18). The book, more than 600 pages in 28 chapters, focuses on aspects of design, material selection and construction of buildings that resist moisture.
The manual includes four parts that cover:
