Editor's note:
We will be following this story as it unfolds. See an update in Tuesday's Courier.
St. Stephen – It was expected to be a no-contest, slam dunk decision.
It wasn't.
Students who are members of the Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) at St. Stephen Middle School want to paint a rainbow crosswalk by their school on Marks Street. They will have to wait until the end of November to see if town council approves their request.
After an almost hour long, sometimes heated, discussion Wednesday night, members of St. Stephen Town council decided they wanted more information.
SSMS principal Bronwyn Tanner, and teachers Kayla Cousins and Jenna Densmore, all spoke eloquently and informatively on the importance of inclusion on behalf of the students. Council asked them for more time to make a decision whether to allow the crosswalk. Council also wants more information behind the concept of rainbow crosswalks.
The three educators were asked to make a presentation at council's November committee meeting to provide information on the background of rainbow crosswalks and how they believe it would impact the community.
"Anything that related to it," said Mayor Allan MacEachern.
The 24 students in the GSA had written and signed a letter to council asking for its permission to change the white crosswalk "into a rainbow pride symbol of acceptance, diversity and equality," adding they believed by doing so it would be the first step in educating the community by raising awareness to foster a more inclusive environment.
They will pay for the paint and what costs they don't cover will be picked up by the school, said Tanner.
"I'm a bit flabbergasted at this point that elected members of our community are unable to come to the conclusions that our kids were so quickly able to come to in our school," said Cousins, who became increasingly emotional as she spoke after the meeting.
"My own children are at home right now missing me, while I'm here standing up for other people's children – that elected officials in this town are not willing to do."
She said statistics show 50 per cent of transgender students will attempt suicide in their teen years, and one in four LGBT students will attempt suicide.
They fight for acceptance for their differences all the time, said Cousins.
"It's the message they get every day, it just hasn't been this clear before."
She noted council asked what happens when vandals destroy the sidewalk.
"We said we paint it and paint it again, and again and again and again."
"I just can't believe vandalism is what's coming between it (the permission)," said Densmore. "If you don't move forward you're never going to get anywhere."
During the meeting Tanner said the town shouldn't shy aware from permission because someone might do something to the crosswalk.
Tanner said if that was the case "who's winning?"
"Our future is our youth and this is important to them."
Densmore said the crosswalk was a symbol to promote inclusion and acceptance, and that the school hoped to stage a seminar for people who don't know what it means.
Deputy Mayor Jason Carr, and Coun. David Hyslop said they weren't in favour of the crosswalk, and voiced concerns about using symbols within the town, asking what other group would next want to ask to paint a symbol in public.
The two wanted to know if there was some other way the students could celebrate their diversity.
MacEachern suggested the students paint a mural instead of the crosswalk. He said he was trying to spare them and the community the distress of seeing the rainbow crosswalk defaced by vandalism which has happened in one New Brunswick community.
After the meeting, MacEachern said, in retrospect, he was wrong to suggest a mural.
"I really liked the mural idea, of everyone getting their hands dirty and painting the mural together," said MacEachern, saying he is still moved by the community effort to paint the Canada 150 mural at the Garcelon Civic Center.
"I was wrong in trying to protect the town from that," he said, referring to the possibility of vandalism.
He said the purpose of council committee meetings was to allow the councillors to become educated on issues and to engage the public in discussion. MacEachern said he didn't push council for an immediate decision on whether to allow the crosswalk because he would "lose the chance to talk to this group again."
"This is not a little issue and it's not easy for anybody."
"It's about accepting people for who they are and being a unified community."
~ Saint Croix MLA John Ames
Coun. Phil Chisholm said he was concerned over the cost of repainting a vandalized crosswalk and noted his research had shown the issue of rainbow crosswalks in other communities has been "divisive."
He said putting a story about the council meeting in the newspaper would make the issue more divisive.
"The more people you include … all we've got to do is look across the border and we see divisive every day.
"We don't want a plebiscite; it can't become who is in favour of this and who isn't," said Chisholm.
Coun. Ghislaine Wheaton, and Coun. Ken Parker kept saying they wanted more information.
Coun. Marg Harding, from the beginning, said she'd support the crosswalk, but wouldn't mind more information.
Carr said he wouldn't support it and that a rainbow crosswalk certainly didn't make him feel included despite Bronwyn's continued statements of inclusion. And he confirmed he objected for religious reasons referring to the rainbow being used as something other than God's promise.
Saint Croix MLA John Ames, the province's minister of Tourism, Heritage and Culture, said he believed St. Stephen was "open minded, accepting and tolerant." And hoped the town council would continue to exhibit the leadership it had in the past.
Ames said he was proud of the students for having the courage to approach community leaders for permission for their project.
He noted the issue of a rainbow sidewalk has been contentious in other communities at first, but "those are growing pains."
He said the crosswalks are about "accepting everyone and where they come from."
Ames suggested more education is needed for town council and residents on the concept of the rainbow crosswalks.
As a former teacher, Ames said he has seen "firsthand what kids have to go through."
"I've seen the positive impact an alliance in school has had."
He said it is far different from when he was a student in school and kids were "deathly afraid to come out of the closet."
"We shouldn't have people afraid of being who they are."
Ames said granting permission for a sidewalk is not about advocating any type of sexuality preference.
"It's about accepting people for who they are and being a unified community."

Pay attention voters.
Ocean City - Pay attention voters. The news media is digging to find the true motivations for Trump's bromance with Putin, and of course, his outrageous position on NATO which has the entire world alarmed and would benefit Russian territorial interests immensely. It seems Trump has a long trail of documentation regarding proposed real estate business interests and investment interests focused in Russia and their capital city, Moscow. For Trump, it seems it's all about money first. The security of the entire world comes second. Just ask our Pentagon generals and admirals about Trump and NATO.

We love that local kids are helping local kids. The Child Life Program is one of the 17 Children's Miracle Network Hospital programs at CHRISTUS that help children and families facing medical experiences and grief reduce fear, anxiety and pain by providing developmentally appropriate therapeutic play, preparation and education. These toys will be used for kids in day surgery, the ER, and other areas of the hospital that the Child Life Program serves. Some students from the class came to the hospital today to drop off the toys, and they were treated to a tour of the hospital to include stocking the Child Life cart in day surgery, and a special show and tell in our Emergency Room with Dr. Jim Cotter. Miss Heart of Pilot, J'Lyn Henderson joined the students on the tour as well! "We are so thankful that the 3rd grade class at St. Mark's Cathedral School chose our Child Life Program as a part of their Advent Class Project," Paige Cox, Certified Child Life Specialist, said. "I work with kids every day, and I am always amazed at their kind spirit and generosity. This is what the Christmas season is all about, and I love that these kids are contributing to our mission at CHRISTUS of extending the healing ministry of Jesus Christ."

This chart show how drastically young Americans are cutting traditional TV from their lives
It's no secret that cable companies are struggling as Americans cut the cord and make the jump from TV subscriptions to online streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. As this chart from Statista shows, Americans between 18 and 24 years old are among the biggest cord cutters. The group has cut their TV usage by 12 hours per week since 2011 according to data from Nielsen's quarterly total audience report.
Traditional TV networks are feeling the pain and trying to find ways to stay in the game. AT&T bought Time Warner as it chases audiences moving their TV watching onto mobile devices, and Discovery Communications just bought Scripps Network as an attempt to increase its share of the market and remain attractive to distributors.
Meanwhile, Netflix original shows like "Orange is the New Black" and "Stranger Things" dominate conversations. And subscribers at Netflix and Amazon Prime, which offers original video programming through its streaming service, continue to grow rapidly.
As young Americans begin to start their own homes, they are likely to bring their TV watching habits with them, and traditional TV companies will have to continue to fight to stay relevant.
SEE ALSO: Young people spend about twice as much time watching Netflix as live TV, and even more time on YouTube

The International Energy Agency (IEA) says it has had the widest ever response to an exercise to simulate a global oil supply disruption.
44 countries took part in the event last week which simulated how the IEA coordinates the release of emergency oil stockpiles in the event of a crisis.
The exercise tests communication between and within participating countries and the IEA Secretariat under time pressure.
After a training session, members worked to develop strategies to respond to a realistic supply disruption scenario.
This year's event featured countries representing 70% of global oil demand, including China, India, Chile and Mexico.
IEA executive director Dr Fatih Birol said "I believe this is a good example of the concrete benefits of our modernisation strategy.
"It underscores the synergies between our efforts to open the doors of the IEA to emerging economies and the IEA's core mandate of enhancing energy security."

The Death of Stalin (2018)
In 1953, Joseph Stalin died. The Death of Stalin covers the aftermath as his top cabinet members scheme and fight for control over Mother Russia.
I honestly wasn't sure I was going to like this, but based on how much I enjoyed director Armando Iannucci's superb film, In the Loop, I figured I'd give it a try. Now that I have seen it, I'm not sure I did enjoy it. I think I did, there's certainly plenty to recommend that's for sure, but ultimately the darker elements in this very dark comedy left me feeling uneasy about making light about this period in history.
The writing is sharp, the cast are good (especially Steve Buscemi and Simon Russell Beale). It's well paced, doesn't overstay its welcome, and the production design and photography are superb. There are also one or two laugh out loud moments. Like when Nikita Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi) wants to switch places with Georgy Malenkov (Jeffrey Tambor) at Stalin's funeral. He tries to make the transition look like part of the ceremony, only to stand directly in front of an unamused Malenkov, who won't budge. There are several moments like this, that left me gasping for air they were so funny. But for every moment that made me laugh, there was a scene that got me a little snowflake-y.
There isn't a single likable character in this film. They are all scheming assholes and there is a lot of ugliness in this story. Lavrenti Beria's (Simon Russell Beale) taste for young girls was difficult to watch, as was his cold implementation of Stalin's 'lists,' instructing soldiers to, for example, "kill the wife first and make sure the husband sees you do it before you kill him."
Ultimately, the outcome of this power struggle felt vapid to me. There are no heroes, only villains, so when one of these characters die it didn't feel like a victory. I know this is probably the point of this film (historically speaking), but I found myself wishing there was someone I could relate to and root for. If you enjoyed In the Loop, but like your dark comedy a lot darker, I think you'll enjoy The Death of Stalin. Ultimately, I would say I appreciated the quality of this film (acting, script, production design), it just wasn't my cup of tea.

To stay updated with the latest in the raising livestock industry to can check out our raising livestock latest news. On the other hand if you are new to raising livestock and would like to start professional livestock rearing now get a copy of our Profitable Livestock ebook.
When livestock is kept in the pasture-based system they are let to graze freely and eat nutritious green grass and other plants that are easily digested by their bodies. The animals welfare is greatly increased when they graze on pasture.
Sustainable livestock raising also helps in lowering damage to the environment and the produces such as pork, eggs and milk is much more nutritious and taste better than food from factory farms.
Livestock Health Benefits:
Livestock that are raised in limited factory farms have less quality life compared to those raised on pasture. Animals when raised on gree pasture can move around and live an organic life where else in factory facilities the livestock are all crowded in confined facilities. These facilities do not have sunlight or fresh air allowing bacteria to grow and affect the animals. This then contributes to the livestock being provided with antibiotics which is not best for the livestock.
Since a great deal of animals eat grass, grazing them on pasture has a number of benefits. Some of the benefits are the livestock are able to produce secretion which is good for neutralizing acids that is in their digestive tract. As grain fed livestock produce less saliva they often suffer from dehydration, intestine damage and even death.
Human Being Health Benefits:
Livestock farmed on pasture produce more nutritious eggs, beef, milk which is ideal for consumers then livestock raised on grains. Adding to that, pasture raised foods have a healthier balance of omega-3 plus omega-6 fats then your conventional foods. Their supplement levels are higher as well.
It's no question that sustainable livestock farming is the way to go if you wish to be a successful livestock farmer. The livestock are reared in a healthy way and the produce is good for us human beings.

I finally had a chance to upload to Youtube video of the Knitting Circle organized by Swedish artist Kerstin Lindstrom that I mentioned in an earlier post. I enjoyed the music as much as the knitting. If memory serves, someone said the trumpeter was Blonduos' equivalent of Justin Bieber in the 1960s. If memory serves, someone said he also played in Reykjavik's big band back in the day. I will investigate.
Meanwhile, I was reminded of how music is a universal language. I felt the same way when I heard John Coltrane's "Love Supreme" in the cab on the way to the bus station in Reykjavik, my second day here. I hope the screening of "The Grant Green Story" at 11pm this Thursday at Bio Paradis in Reykjavik continues to confirm this position. So much separates us. Music often brings us back together (look at the people singing in the second video. Although I did not know the words, I was very moved.
On that note, I look forward to returning to the States and finally releasing this film later this summer.

The New York Knicks will not be going to the NBA Playoffs this year, but that hasn't stopped them from fine-tuning their FIFA skills. As their regular season winds down, Knicks players competed in a FIFA tournament, brackets and all.
The team's young star, Kristaps Porzingis, who has proclaimed his prowess at the soccer video game, faced off against guard Tony Wroten, but he lost in fitting March Madness fashion while teammate Carmelo Anthony yelled GOAL! in the background.
Porzingis might be an up-and-coming star for the Knicks, but he needs to work on his FIFA game. Until next time, Kristaps.

Last week Mac took Mable to the local library to exchange our stale, 2-week-old library books for a stack of fresh, new books.
[Can I take a moment to express just how awesome libraries are? We buy some books for Mabel, but most of the books we read are from the library. I get sick of reading the same stories over and over again. The library, with its unlimited supply of FREE books, means I don't have to!]
Anyway, last night I picked up the book on the top of the stack and it was Nancy, the Little Gosling by Eve Tharlet.
The book started out well enough, about a gosling who is easily distracted by butterflies, not that into school, and not good at goose-y things like swimming, waddling, and flying.
What really made me laugh about this book was the point at which Nancy reveals that she doesn't want to practice swimming and flying, she just wants to be a butterfly researcher.
Yes, Nancy wants to be a scientist, a Lepidopterist, a biologist. I was kind of (lamely, nerdily) tickled that this character wanted to be a scientist.
Her passion for butterflies was central to the book, but the scientist/biologist/Lepidopterist angle was not- it was just sprinkled here and there- like when Nancy reveals that she's already thought up a scientific name for the first new butterfly species she discovers: Lepidoptera Nancy. (This choice shows that author must know some scientists! See: Naming a New Species)
It was nice to find a kid's book that easily weaved a story about science/scientists without being all about science. As I've said before, science is everywhere, even if people don't recognize it. I know that the science portion is probably lost on Mabel right now (since she spent most of the book honking like a goose), but I'm thinking about purchasing this book for her since little kid books involving science aren't exactly a dime a dozen!
Anyone else know of any books about science/scientists that are little kid friendly?

As I mostly drift through sleep and wakefulness, last night (I think it was) I thought it was time to pull something from the Past I had written about particular concepts of Time and Space.
It was over 5 years ago, when I was last in Greece, for an extended stay, and which incidentally, is when I began this blog. It is my homage to The Greek Concept of Time and Space, written shortly my arrival on the scene, and, after a whole lot of twists and a whole lot sweat on an April day in Athens.
I will most likely delve into this lovely subject once again …

Daily Spirit & Word: 692: Meeting Increases Joy.
A Thing Of Beauty Is A Joy Forever.
Good morning my friends, when we all heard the joyous news that my grandchild was born, everyone gave a great thumbs-up on Facebook, they liked it. However, even my own heart leaped for joy at hearing she'd been born, but I'll tell you now, nothing prepares you for that moment when you meet the baby and can hold it in your arms. She's just soooo cute and cuddly and tiny.
I believe it's the same with Jesus Christ, it's so amazing when we finally get it; the Good News of the Gospel, but can you imagine the JOY you are going to experience when you finally get to meet with your Lord Jesus?
John Keats said, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever, it's beauty increases; it will never pass into nothingness".
So it is with God's Word and the Book of Revelations: It's gets more glorious and beautiful the more you read, understand and feed upon, because it's God's Living Word.
We've been going through Revelation (slowly), but we've just read in chapter 1 about the Vision of Jesus that John saw and how after seeing it he fell down in fear and trembling and worshipped Jesus, but Jesus reached out his hand, put it upon John's shoulder and gave him this command. "WRITE"… John must have been so overjoyed to meet the RESURRECTED LORD, but Jesus had something He wanted John to do: WRITE about this experience and revelations.
Revelation 1:19-20 (NIV)
19 "Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later.
20 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
- Write: What you have seen.
- Write: What is happening now.
- Write: What will take place later.
- Write: About the Seven Stars and their meaning.
- Write: About the Lampstands and the Churches they represent.
WRITING: Why is 'writing' it down so important to Jesus?
There's something about writing that's different from speaking. When you are speaking it's immediate, but when you write something, it takes a lot more consideration and concentration of the thought processes. Also, writing enables you to plan what you are going to say, how you are going to say it and you can choose your words very carefully.
It seems that Jesus wanted John to get this COMMUNICATION OF HIS REVELATION EXACTLY RIGHT.
But we must bear in mind that John, didn't only use his natural ability, but was at the same time, filled with and inspired by God the Holy Spirit: Remember, he's already told us "On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit"…
So the Revelation that the Seven Churches and every Christian down through the ages that have had access to God's Word have received is, very carefully constructed, assembled and communicated Just the way that God wants it. NOW are you ready to receive it?
- It's from Jesus whom we can trust.
- It's from John, Jesus' beloved Disciple and ancient, faithful Apostle, whom we can also trust.
- It's from the Holy Spirit of God, who had so filled John the Apostle, who'd already written his Gospel, 1, 2 and 3 John. We love those writings because they are filled with encouragement and light.
So now are you ready to receive, believe and trust-in and respond to Jesus Revelations: in this Book of Revelation?
Once we've met Jesus, the beauty touches our soul and the JOY increases every single day. Praise the Lord!
Meet with Jesus, every DAY and your Joy will increase, your light with shine brightly for Him.
Have an awesome day with Jesus.

Bugz currently is that stage of life where play rules and food loses every time in front of it. Even with her favorite meal she gets distracted in a little bit and starts out on some game or another, so imagine the plight of the food she is not fond of? In an effort to avoid battle lines being drawn over dinner table where the two of us stand on opposite sides, I poured my creative juices in to the mix. There was coaxing her to finish her meal, there was putting the food away to eat later when she was hungry, there was 'no playing at the dinning table' rule, there was award for finishing her plate. Needless to say nothing worked, but the sight of food being wasted every day was something that was getting to me.
On my very edge, I spoke to her about wasting food and how there were kids going hungry. Buzz got interested as well and the two of them started asking questions. Excited to see that they were thinking about the concept, I searched online and started showing them pictures of malnourished kids. The pictures were very graphic, and I could see that the two of them were a little shaken. The questions started again as they saw one picture after the other.
– Why are they not eating
– Why do they not have food?
– Why don't their parents get food from the store?
And then Buzz comes up with the question of the day:
If people are so poor that they don't have food to eat, why do they have babies?
at which point all things came to a halt as I grappled to find the right answer. The question has been asked a couple of times since and I still have not answer that I think will work. Please help if you can!

Larry's Legacy
Jan 03, 2018 09:44AM
By The Hood Magazine
When Larry Veitz, the longtime president of Regional Health Spearfish Hospital and the Spearfish and Belle Fourche Markets, died in an ATV accident in early November, he left behind more than a grieving family and community. He also left behind a significant legacy of vision for healthcare in Spearfish - a vision that his successor, Thomas Worsley, is proud to be carrying forward.
Worsley, who is married to a nurse and has four children, has been with Regional Health since 2015. He has served as VP of the Regional Health Rapid City market, but as the new interim president of Spearfish Hospital, he will be turning his attention now to the healthcare facility that Becker's last year called a Top 100 rural hospital.
"Spearfish is a growing community with about a 20-mile radius of smaller rural communities that rely on us and our 50-bed hospital as their primary place to receive healthcare," says Worsley While Spearfish is increasingly well-equipped to meet those needs (services like same-day total joints and 3D mammography are available here), what they do not have is space.
"We are pretty much bursting at the seams here," says Worsley. "We have clinics that don't have the capacity to add additional providers and the hospital itself is landlocked."
But that is about to change. In late November, a 40-acre land donation marked the start of a fundraising drive to create a $100 million healthcare campus on the north edge of Spearfish.
"It is going to be a campus that is focused beyond a traditional hospital. It is going to be a true wellness campus with things like cooking demonstrations and wellness classes," says Worsley. "It will be transformative in its scale and scope."
Although Veitz did not live to see it, Worsley says the planned campus owes much to his passion for rural medicine. "He had been working for many years on different iterations of what an expanded healthcare campus would look like," says Worsley. "He was a key player in narrowing down on this vision and this location."
But Worsley says Larry Veitz did more than push for more progressive rural healthcare; he was also a mentor to those he knew would carry the torch after him.
"Larry was really viewed as a sage," says Worsley. "When i think of him, I think of someone who was wise and really wasn't interested in just keeping that wisdom to himself. It was a rich experience to interact with him and learn from him."

Radio Control Office Essay Example for Free
Radio Control Office Essay The first radio regulatory office was known as the Radio Construction and Maintenance Section under the Telegraph Division of the Bureau of Posts. This section was charged with the enforcement of radio laws and regulations, particularly the provisions of Act No. 3396, known as the Ship Radio Station Law which was enacted on December 5, 1927. This law provides for the installations of radio obligatory for ships of Philippine register to protect life and property at sea. On November 11, 1931, the Philippine Legislature enacted Act No. 3846, known as the Radio Control Law of the Philippines.Section 8 of the law provides that the Secretary of Commerce and Communications is hereby authorized to create a Radio Regulation Section, Division or Office which shall take charge of carrying out the provisions of this Act and the regulations prescribed by him, to any bureau or office of his Department, subject to his general supervision and control. Thus, the Radio Control Division in the Bureau of Posts was created under the Secretary of Commerce and Communications. In 1939, the Department of National Defense was organized pursuant to Executive Order No. 230. It was realized then that the functions of supervising and regulating the establishment and operation of all radio stations in the country were important to national defense and security. Consequently, the Radio Control Division was transferred to the Department of National Defence. Pursuant to Executive Order No. 94, series of 1947, the Department of Commerce and Industry was created. The Radio Control Division was again transferred from the Department of National Defense to the Department of Commerce and Industry. The reason for the transfer was that in time of peace, the function of radio regulations was a vital factor in the promotion of commerce and industry and in the economic development of the country. On January 1, 1951, by virtue of the provisions of Executive Order No. 392, the Radio Control Board were transferred to the Department of Public Works and Communications. Actually, The Radio Control Division and the Radio Control Board were two distinct agencies with separate functions. The Division was charged with the supervision and regulation of the establishment and operation of all radio stations in the country. On the other hand, the Board implemented the provisions of the Radio Broadcasting Law, Act No. 3997, regarding the administration of the national radio broadcasting fund derived from radio receiver registration fees collected by the BIR, and the purchase, distribution, and installation of radio receivers to fourth and fifth class municipalities, municipal districts, barrios and selected government institutions. In the Department of Public Works and Communications, the Radio Control Division was under the supervision of the Radio Control Board. In 1956, R.A. No. 1476 was enacted, abolishing the radio receiver registration fees in effect also abolished the Radio Control Board. The Radio Control Division remained and continued to fuction under the Office of the Secretary of Public Works and Communications. On August 23, 1962, Department Order No. 51 was issued by the Secretary, Department of Public Works and Communications, changing the name of the Radio Control Division to Radio Control Office. As provided in the Integrated Reorganization Plan of 1972, the Radio Control Office was retained and assumed the functions relative to the supervision and enforcement of policies, rules and regulations involving telecommunications. The Office, which was later named on July 1, 1974, as the Telecommunications Control Bureau, was headed by a Director who was assisted by an Assistant Director. The Office had four divisions and district offices, the number and locations of which were determined on the basis of necessity and effectiveness of the service. Board of Communications The Board of Communications, which was created under the Integrated Reorganization law of 1972, was the first quasi-judicial body with the adjudicatory powers on matters involving telecommunication services. The Board was composed of a full-time chairman who was of unquestioned integrity and recognized prominence in previous public and/or private employment; and two full-time members who were competent in all aspects of communications, preferably one of whom was a lawyer and the other an economist. The Director of the Radio Control Office and a senior representative of the Institute of Mass Communication of the University of the Philippines were made ex-oficio members. It may be noted that the regular members of the board were experts on telecommunications. The Chairman must have previous employment on telecommunications, and the other two full-time members must be competent on all aspects of communications, preferably one of whom was a lawyer and the other an economist. The reason f or this organizational set-up is aptly stated in the Integrated Reorganization Plan which states that: Since technical and economic determinants will govern decisions with respect to economic regulation, the expertise involved should be strongly reflected on the composition of the body so that it can adequately review, revise, and decide on proposals and applications. The Board itself must also have the capability to adequately review, revise, and decide on all aspects under its coverage from both technical and economic points of view. Knowledge of the economic consideration involved must be coupled with the ability to distinguish, detect, and resolve possible conflicts with the corresponding technical considerations. The Board of Communications was attached to the Department of Public Works, Transportation and Communications for administrative supervision. According to the IRP, the DPWTC was in direct possession of facts and situational appraisals inherent in its role in the fields of communications. Adjudicative Boards operating under its umbrella would thus have direct access to the substantive bases for decision. The National Telecommunications Commission By virtue of Executive Order No. 546 dated July 23, 1979, the Telecommunications Control Bureau and the Board of Communications were abolished and have been integrated into a single entity now known as the National Telecommunications Commission. It is composed of a Commissioner and two Deputy Commissioners, preferably one of whom is a lawyer and another an economist. The Commissioner and Deputy Commissioners should be of unquestioned integrity, proven competence, and recognized experts in their fields, related as much as possible to communications. The integration of the TCB and BOC into a single entity has for its purpose the effective and unified control and supervision of communications facilities and services. Executive Order No. 546 has also created the Ministry of Transportation and Communications which has administrative jurisdiction over the National Telecommunications Commission. Pursuant to Executive Order No. 125 as amended by Executive Order No. 125-A dated April 13, 1987, the National Telecommunications Commission is now an attached agency of the Department of Transportation and Communications (Sec.14). The Philippines National Telecommunications Commission (Filipino: Pambansang Komisyon sa Telekomunikasyon), abbreviated as NTC, is an agency of the Philippine government under the Commission on Information and Communications Technology responsible for the supervision, adjudication and control over all telecommunications services throughout the Philippines.

Customs Cuts Down Inspection Hours In Ports, Airports As Adeosun Tasks DGCs, AU Commission On 0.2% Import Levy
By Ossom Raphael
Abuja – The 1st extra ordinary meeting of the African Union, sub-committee of Directors General of Customs has opened in Abuja.
The 3-day meeting is expected to help in developing policies for enhanced intra and inter Africa trade.
Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs, Hameed Ali (Rtd), said over 70 per cent automation level has been achieved in cutting down inspection hours of imported items and papers processing at ports and airports to ease business operations.
Col. Ali, explained that the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has achieved much in his 18 month in office so far.
"If you have been following the trend of Ease of Doing Business initiated by the Vice President, the Customs is key to that. We have reduced the hours of inspection and physical examination; we have also reduced paper processing from 17 to 10″, Col Ali explained.
The Customs Boss, recalled that since the decision to hold the meeting in Harare, Zimbabwe in November 2016, the service had been mobilising personnel and materials to provide a conducive environment and a befitting welcome to make it most successful.
According to Col. Ali, the meeting would afford African continent the opportunity to occupy the rightful position in the WCO within the administrative and political hierarchy and exert an authority to influence policies that will be beneficial to the continent and enhance the intra-African trade.
Declaring meeting open, Nigeria's Finance, Minister, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, tasked Director Generals of Customs and African Union Commission to take on board the issue of 0.2 per cent import levy and come out with clear guidelines for implementation by all member states as a permanent source of funding activities of the Commission.
The Minister said Africa cannot continue to settle for the position of the biggest world's buyer without selling to the world market in return.
She said the continent must come to the trade table as an equal partner that is buying and selling in order to correct the age-long embarrassment that has made its economy vulnerable.
"I hope that the conversation would be deep, I hope they would be robust, I hope that they would be patriotic to Africa. We need an African focus.
"We cannot continue to be the world's biggest market for anybody who wants to sell anything. We need to come to the trade table as equal partners, selling as well as buying. And we must correct some historical embarrasses that have made our economies very vulnerable." she explained.
Secretary General of WCO, Mr Kunio Mikuriya lauded the initiators of the meeting as well as Nigeria's effort at border security saying that improved trade facilitation is only achievable with enhanced security at the borders.
The meeting is theme: "Entering into force of the World Trade Organization Trade Facilitation Agreement: Implication for African Customs Administrations "

A gear is a device that transfers force to one more device by means of rotation mechanism. It, with the help of its teeth is joined with one more and applies complete force. According to its mechanism it has the capacity to boost force at numerous torques towards diverse directions originating from the root supply whence it attains energy.
It is an acceptable reality a gear is fitted effectively with one more that has teeth. But the matter to be viewed as is that it fits effectively with any device, not particularly with one more of its type, that owns its teeth to be fitted pretty coherently.
They come in various sizes, may well be effortlessly combined with one more of a various size. The element that dominates to a terrific extent is that even though the second device with which the 1st is fitted with creates no issue to create force and the rotational supply of force is kept intact.
We can define a gear according to the teeth it has. Teeth and the diameter play the vital component in the mechanism of a gear. Therefore it can be effortlessly told that the overall performance solely depends on the characteristic qualities that it initially possesses. The actual part that it plays is that it generates force to one particular shaft to one more one particular irrespective of teeth and diameter.
The mechanism follows the rule of linear physics that determines its rotation per second or minute. The speed is generated vide an equation of the gear's circumference dived by the radius of it. In fact it have to be taken care that the second gear is also provided the tremendous significance also.
The teeth play the most vital part in producing force. Once again the radius of it also is of no significantly less significance. Almost certainly based on the diameter the force is generated. The bigger is the radius the slower is the speed.
It is to be noted that the teeth adjoining gears are corresponded to one particular one more to rotate. Hence when teeth associated to the smaller sized one particular, and press the other one particular, the substantial one particular tends to make one particular rotation. As a matter of reality when the compact one particular moves in a quickly pace and the substantial one particular moves quicker producing a lot more energy. The points of make contact with have to have to pass a distinct point to rotate following a complete mechanism to create actual force.
When we come across an ordinary gear we notice that it has axes that are certainly static when there is rotation. The axes can be a lot in quantity as in the case of an epicyclic one particular. Once again the one particular referred to as the sun – planet gear has a amazing mechanism. In this a gear named planet rotates round the sun.
If we assume about the mechanism of, we have to maintain in thoughts the reality that it is primarily based on specifically 4 things as the axis, the pitch point, pitch circle and the pitch diameter.

I think we can all agree that although some change can be tough, there is still a level of excitement when it comes to newness. Whether it be something as large as a house or a car or something as small as a pair of shoes or a pillow, we are just thrilled that whatever it is, it's new.
Well, it turns out humans are not the only ones who leap for joy when they get something new. Animals can experience just as much excitement, if not more. Christy the West Highland Terrier is a perfect example.
In a video that recently went viral, Christy is seen simply ecstatic in her new home and her excited actions will leave you in tears of joy with a side of stitches from laughter.
The lovable dog, Christy, was recently adopted from a shelter by her new owner in Florida.
Now, Christy is blessed with a whole new family, lots of new toys, and plenty of new friends. She is not excited solely by the new people, home, and even toys, though. In the video, we see that Christy is fascinated by the clear, glass backdoor. She saw something outside that spelled love at first sight; a pool.
I've never seen a dog respond with such enthusiasm to something so common!
The owner asks Christy, "Is that your pool? Did you want to go swim in it? You do? How bad? Really?" To each question, Christy responds with loads of leaps, joyous barks, and plenty of tail wagging. The owner responds, "Okay," and opens the back door. Without missing a beat, Christy goes zooming across the patio and sails into the pool.
The roughly one minute video is full of leaps and barks from Christy, expressing her love for the pool. At one point, she hops out of the pool and just when you think it is over she plunges right back in, unable to get enough of the fun.
This video will leave everyone, whether you are a dog lover or not, with a smile on their face and a pep in their step. Christy taught us to find the joy in every little daily activity. I bet if we all live with the excitement and charisma of Christy the world would be a much brighter and more joyful place to live.
If your day was brightened by Christy's happy story, please SHARE with a friend!

How are the automobile industries planning to implement 5G? Will it live up to the promise or is it just a substitute for the existing network?
FREMONT, CA: As the connected cars' market grows, 5G seems to be every automobile manufacturer's best opportunity as well as a nightmare since the new technology promises to boost the payments and commerce in the coming year. It can also boost connectivity among smart automobiles.
The nightmare begins as the 5G deployment in connected cars and trucks is still a challenge. Mobile network operators have deployed 5G, but it will require numerous updates. Another problem, probably on the verge of being solved by 5G is the motivation of a few organizations to incorporate older Wi-Fi standards for the emerging ecosystem for connected vehicles. The ante for connected automobiles is sky-high as stakeholders have already invested around $230 billion worth of commerce, dependent on the promised efficiency and speed of 5G technology.
Although the specifics of how 5G will work with the connected automobiles are widely speculated, one thing that is assured is a faster network promoting increased in-vehicle commerce and payments. 5G is said to unlock the vehicles' potential mainly due to three main reasons—the increased speed of the network, the capacity to connect with numerous devices simultaneously, and a low latency rate. The latency for 5G, when compared with 4G, creates a difference of 50 milliseconds.
5G can play a significant role in an autonomous vehicle by decreasing the time duration between the sensor recognizing the interference and a cloud-based server being informed about the danger. As connected vehicles are becoming popular, automobile companies are joining the 5G bandwagon in a queue to level up their competitive drives.
A major study on these trends has predicted that three out of four cars produced in the next five years will use 5G-compliant smart technology. The majority of the connected vehicles are already a part of the ecosystem, and by one way or another, the network driven by 5G technology will ignite the growth of much more advanced connected vehicular systems.

50 is the magic number: Why the UK power market urgently needs investment to provide frequency stability
The UK electricity transmission system was built to allow spare capacity to be shared rather than replicated within each local network. This allowed output from the lowest cost generation to be maximised. It also meant larger, more efficient power stations could be built further away from electricity demand.
But this transmission system requires very careful 'balancing' to provide customers a stable supply of 50Hz at the appropriate voltage.
If demand is greater than generation, the frequency falls. If generation is greater than demand, the frequency rises. The network cannot store energy, so to maintain a stable frequency supply and demand must be matched at all times. This requires highly flexible supply.
Historically, fossil fuel power stations have generated the majority of the nation's power, supplemented by a number of nuclear generators designed to operate continuously at maximum output. These traditional fossil fuel and nuclear stations produce electricity using synchronous generators, so called because the frequency of power output is directly linked to the speed that the rotors turn. This meant that it used to be relatively simple to keep system frequency stable.
But that stability is now changing. Targets for renewable energy to contribute 15% of all energy (or 30% of all electricity) by 2020, plus a reduction in CO2 emissions by 80% before 2050 has led to significant investment in wind and solar generation. Given weather dependencies, output from these forms of generation is both intermittent and uncertain. This volatility of supply makes it much more challenging to ensure consistency of system frequency across the power supply as a whole.
To date, flexibility to deal with generation losses or errors in demand forecasting has been provided by pumped-storage hydroelectricity power plants, or by running gas or coal plants at less than full capacity (known as part-loading) with the ability to ramp up output at short notice. However, the availability of sites for additional pumped-storage are extremely limited, whilst the use of part-loaded plant lowers the efficiency of the plant affected.
As a result, the UK transmission network needs more flexible assets to provide frequency response services.
One of the most flexible ways of addressing these needs is through investments in Reserve Power projects. These are typically installations of 8-10 small containerised 2MW diesel-fired generating units. When aggregated into 16-20MW projects, these generators are quick to build, provide material capacity with short response times, low fixed costs, and the ability to significantly reduce the need for additional infrastructure build by being located close to existing substation and transmission assets.
In most cases, the generating equipment has dual-fuel capability for both diesel and gas. This allows the generator to benefit from both quick start-up (from diesel, full power within 22 seconds) and also lower emissions (by switching to gas once the generator is at full power).
By providing a solution to the problem of volatile renewable energy output, Reserve Power generation can actually help build the case for developing more renewable energy installations. Although Reserve Power uses fossil fuels, when used in combination with renewables it is far less carbon intensive than traditional sources of power. A coal-fired power station produces a 870g per KwH, compared to an average of 165g per KwH from a combined solar and Reserve Power solution – a carbon reduction of 80%.
As a result, investments in Reserve Power generation position the UK power market to both meet commitments to CO2 reduction, and also to ensure power supplies are available to meet demand and maintain stable system frequencies. As such, these investments form an essential part of the UK power infrastructure network.

Two-time Olympic silver medallist Evgenia Medvedeva is leaving longtime coach Eteri Tutberidze and will move to Toronto to work with Brian Orser, the Canadian coach who has guided Yuna Kim and Yuzuru Hanyu to Olympic titles.
Medvedeva announced the change Monday in a statement from the Figure Skating Federation of Russia.
The 18-year-old Medvedeva was favoured to win gold at the Pyeongchang Games earlier this year after she captured the past two world titles. But despite flawless routines in the short program and free skate, she was edged by her close friend and then-training partner Alina Zagitova.
Medvedeva plans to relocate to Toronto, but denied rumours that she might change citizenship, stating that she would continue skating for Russia and representing her club, Sambo-70.
Medvedeva had worked for 11 years with Tutberidze. The relationship seemed to sour three after Zagitova beat Medvedeva for Olympic gold.
Tutberidze told Russian TV on Sunday that Medvedeva stopped answering her calls and messages last month, and suggested the skater wanted the 15-year-old Zagitova held out of senior events, which would have meant she couldn't compete at the Olympics.
"There was this really childish phrase: 'Couldn't you have kept Alina in the juniors for one more year?'" Tutberidze quoted Medvedeva, who is nicknamed Zhenya. "I said, 'Zhenya, what?' We have to give everyone the same chance. You have to in sport. We don't have the right to hold a person back."
Medvedeva thanked Tutberidze, who has a reputation as a taskmaster, in a statement, adding: "I learned many life lessons from her. I will remember it all my life."
Of her switch to Orser, she said: "I hope that time will pass and everyone will understand that this was the only possible option."
Since the Olympics, Medvedeva has launched a TV career as a presenter on a Russian show about child skaters, but has repeatedly said she's targeting another Olympics in 2022.

Pastor Daniel Cassels, his wife Hannah, children Jack, Allie and dog Sammi are new to the Santa Maria area. Daniel grew up in Washington State and Hannah in Globe, Arizona. Though this seems like worlds apart they met while Daniel was serving at Shadow Hills Baptist Church in Las Vegas Nevada. They were married January 06, 2006 and have served God as a family ever since. While attending the The College at Southwestern (a part of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) in Fort Worth, Texas they felt a call to go into full time ministry on the west coast. This call brought them to the wonderful church of Life Way Fellowship in Santa Maria California in 2009. They love to serve God by serving people, fellowshiping, and sharing the Good News of Christ.
Nehemiah: Rise Up & Build
Nehemiah 10
Pastor Daniel Cassels
October 15, 2017
The rest of the people—the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, and temple servants, along with their wives, sons, and daughters, everyone who is able to understand and who has separated themselves from the surrounding peoples to obey the law of God— join with their noble brothers and commit themselves with a sworn oath, to follow the law of God given through God's servant Moses and to obey carefully all the commands, ordinances, and statutes of the Lord our Lord. Nehemiah 10:28–29 (CSB)
If you love me, you will keep my commandments. John 14:15 (ESV)
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Psalm 119:105 (ESV)
If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take note of that person; don't associate with him, so that he may be ashamed. Yet don't consider him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
2 Thessalonians 3:14–15 (CSB)
We will not give our daughters in marriage to the surrounding peoples and will not take their daughters as wives for our sons. When the surrounding peoples bring merchandise or any kind of grain to sell on the Sabbath day, we will not buy from them on the Sabbath or a holy day. We will also leave the land uncultivated in the seventh year and will cancel every debt. We will impose the following commands on ourselves: To give an eighth of an ounce of silver yearly for the service of the house of our God: the bread displayed before the Lord,, the daily grain offering, the regular burnt offering, the Sabbath and New Moon offerings, the appointed festivals, the holy things, the sin offerings to atone for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God. We have cast lots among the priests, Levites, and people for the donation of wood by our ancestral families at the appointed times each year. They are to bring the wood to our God's house to burn on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the law.
Nehemiah 10:30–34 (CSB)
…but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You must not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female servant, your livestock, or the resident alien who is within your city gates. For the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and everything in them in six days; then he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and declared it holy. Exodus 20:10–11 (CSB)
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14 (ESV)
Or do you think it's without reason that the Scripture says: The spirit he made to dwell in us envies intensely?,But he gives greater grace. Therefore he says: God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:5–7 (CSB)
A priest from Aaron's descendants is to accompany the Levites when they collect the tenth, and the Levites are to take a tenth of this offering to the storerooms of the treasury in the house of our God. For the Israelites and the Levites are to bring the contributions of grain, new wine, and fresh oil to the storerooms where the articles of the sanctuary are kept and where the priests who minister are, along with the gatekeepers and singers. We will not neglect the house of our God. Nehemiah 10:38–39 (CSB)
Therefore, I rebuked the officials, asking, "Why has the house of God been neglected?" I gathered the Levites and singers together and stationed them at their posts. Nehemiah 13:11 (CSB)
Don't neglect to do what is good and to share, for God is pleased with such sacrifices. Obey your leaders and submit to them, since they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account, so that they can do this with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you. Hebrews 13:16–17 (CSB)

Apple seems to be in a shopping spree nowadays. Aside from coming up with the iPad, Apple has slowly been acquiring small companies that it might find some use for its other projects in the future. Just recently, the iPhone maker has announced that it has bought chipmaker Intrinsity.
Intrinsity is the second chipmaker that Apple has acquired in over two years. It also bought P.A. Semi previously for US$278 million. Since last October, Intrinsity became the fourth acquisition for Apple. It bought map API maker PlaceBase, social music site LaLa and mobile ad company Quattro Wireless within a span of just seven months. Now that is aggressive in terms of buying small companies.
Apple has been on a shopping spree mainly because it currently has deep pockets. The company has accumulated US$41.7 billion in cash as reported at the end of the 2010 2nd quarter. It has the money to acquire small companies that it might need to strengthen itself.
By acquiring Intrinsity recently, Apple may have just lent true the rumor that the chipmaker has been the company that designed for the A4 chip now found inside the iPad. Since Intrinsity has been known to design energy efficient ARM chips, Apple may be on the way to further optimize it and maybe use newer and better designs for its other products, most likely the next iPhone.

Tiverton Town 0 - 1 Bedworth UnitedSaturday 23/09/2000 Southern League First Division
|John Reidy
Tivvy slumped into the bottom third of the DML Western Division table after this 1-0 reverse against weekend guests Bedworth. A 16th minute strike from defender Guy Sanders was one of only a handful of chances created by either side. "It was a disappointing performance'" admitted Martyn Rogers' who handed a debut to on-loan Plymouth defender Jamie Morrison-Hill. "We had lots of possession again but didn´t look like creating the chances to win the game. "I hope we´ve addressed that with the signing of Dave Toomey. He´ll definitely start tomorrow night (at Evesham). Striker Richard Pears came closest to breaking the deadlock for Tivvy when he shot wide in the first half' while Nicky Marker later headed wide. Sanders grabbed the lead after 16 minutes when everybody else missed Ian Drewitt´s cross and he bundled the ball past Paul Edwards at the far post. After that Bedworth were content to get everyone behind the ball and defend their lead. "We just need a goal' even a fluke goal' to get ourselves going again'" said Rogers. "The players are good enough but sometimes you go through spells where things just don´t go for you." Martyn Rogers is hoping to make up for the loss of prolific goalscorer Kevin Nancekivell by throwing former Cinderford striker Dave Toomey into action against Evesham United tomorrow night.
Oh Dear! This wasn´t in the script. Tivvy were supposed to have made a miraculous recovery from their malaise' and have come out against Bedworth with all guns blazing' scored a hatful' and stormed up the league table to clinch the Championship by Christmas. In our dreams.
The truth of the matter is that the Dr Martens League has learnt from last season. There are some wise heads around the clubs that we face. Last season they came' they saw. This year they know what to expect and they will conquer unless Tiverton do something different.
Last year Solihull Borough ´peed in our kettle´' this year the same two managers brought half the same team' this time under the name of Bedworth United and did exactly the same.
For the first quarter of an hour there was promise of better things than we´ve seen in the last couple of games. On reflection it was not much different. Our heros looked quite comfortable' but then so does an old dog before the lethal injection. Nice moves down the right wing gave firstly Pearsy' then Phil' scoring chances. Pears tried to blast the Mir Space Station back to earth and Phil´s shot tested the strength of the keeper´s stomache muscles. Sound familiar? Yes' Tivvy were once more creating more chances' controlling midfield' but NOT finding the net. The visitors had no such problem. Their first chance came when Stuart Smith and debutante Jamie Morrison-Hill contrived to let Drewit get in a low cross. Note that description - low' not the high one that has been causing problems. The central defenders failed to clear the cross and Sanders managed to bundle the ball past Paul Edwards. Here we go again. The fans were patient' for a while at least. Tivvy were still having the better possession. Tivvy were still doing most of the attacking. Tivvy were still creating most of the chances. Tivvy were still firing blanks. It was the last fact that began to get to the terraces. There was one pass too many or one too little. The men in yellow just couldnt seem to get it right. The fans got frustrated' and the team got frustrated' and with that frustration came desperation and a lack of judgement. Passes were misjudged' shots hurried and snatched at. Little wonder the visitors led as the players went in for their half time pep talk' or rollicking' depending on your shirt colour.
That is' the players except Scott Rogers who was left unconcious in the middle of the pitch. An elbow had collided with his face in an off ball incident just as the half time whistle had been blown. Nasty it looked and nasty it turned out to be. Scotty kept Dai and his aides busy for a good few minutes and was moved to the medical centre still unconcious. It was twelve and a half minutes before he regained conciousness. The ambulance that had been called arrived midway through the second half but Scott declined the ride to hospital.
By the time the blue lights flashed into view' the second half had continued where the first half had left off. Paul Tatterton had replaced Rogers but there was no change in the game. Solihull - whoops no it was Bedworth - continued to frustrate Tiverton' and when they didn´t Tiverton frustrated themselves. Not a pretty sight' believe me. It would be wrong to report specific incidents unless names could be changed to protect the guilty. To name individuals would be unfair - this was a team performance' and to be fair to the players' they knew it was not good.
So where do we go from here?
Firstly we go to Evesham. We encourage the team. We hope they respond by playing the football we know they can. We hope ´The Two Martyns´ can do whatever it takes to bring a return of the confidence that is lacking.
Then we start to look up the table as we climb it.
But first I´m gonna have a cup of tea. Nobody gets near my kettle!

Trailer of the Week – Funny People
Certain celebs come with expectations. For instance, who would expect Judd Apatow and Adam Sandler to make a tearjerker? Names notwithstanding, the preview for their new collaboration, Funny People, certainly looks like a weepie: The life-changing event here is terminal illness. That's right. Sandler's character is dying! The trailer isn't a total downer since Sandler plays a stand-up comic but the topic, tone, and cast (which includes Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill) are much more grown-up than the usual Apatow/Sandler fare. Because Apatow has proven he can do poignancy (Freaks and Geeks) and Sandler drama (Punch Drunk Love), you do have to wonder what's going to happen when they both try it again… together. So far, the biggest laugh comes when co-star Leslie Mann mocks the Aussie accent of her husband (Eric Bana).
And check out trailers for upcoming movies Julie & Julia, and The Ugly Truth.
