Music is sadly off the menu but when we are able the club we will be back with our JAWS concert series. As of now the JAWS concert for March which was to feature the Greg Knowles Band has been cancelled. On a high note our very first JAWS concert of the year was a huge sucess with a full house enjoying the All Girl Big Band. Even had to turn people away due to health and safety numbers. What a great way to start the year. Two of our Club members have received Civic Awards this year: KIM BLACKMORE: For 20 years as musical director and conductor of Stedfast Brass not only arranging the performances but also giving tuition to new and less skilled members. Congratulations Kim. here is a link to his story. https://newsline.ccc.govt.nz/news/story/top-brass-performer-a-steadfast-supporter JUDI SMITHERAM: For work as President of the Canterbury Folk Music Festival which under her leadership has developed into a national event that attracts musicians from around New Zealand and the world. Congratulations Judi. Christchurch music is again in the news with Duncan Ferguson of St Andrews College winning a Tui for Music Teacher of the year. Congratulations must also go to Dave Pitt the head of music at Papanui High School. His Combo and Big band won the top award at the school music awards held in Bleheim this August 2019. The Clubs PA is available for Hire. Special Conditions apply. Contact Bert Parrant 027 3548155. September meeting tonight for the committee and we now have Dale Inwood on Board. Dale has previous experience with our club and in the music business so her imput will be most helpful and appreciated. Club members can now get up to a 15% discount from the Rockshop as of today, August 21st, 2019. Discount does not apply to specials or small purchases. Other musical shops and businesses dealing in our profession have a 10% reduction on musical equipment and services. These businesses are listed on our first page slideshow. The Mainland Big Band play every 1st Saturday of the month at the Cashmere Club. If your a dancer go and enjoy their music. Entry is $10. The Clubs AGM was held at the Cashmere Club on August 4th and 23 people attended. Our auditor said this years books were near perfect so credit must go to Roger Hanson for all his hard work and diligence. The Amy Winehouse tribute concert featuring Celine Graham was another success for our Keeping Music Live series. Good crowd and response. Chisnallwood School Band under the direction of Judith Bell recently played a concert for the Musicians club KML series and showed us music is in good hands. This band is off to China to perform so we wish them well. This will be a huge adventure for 12 year olds and I'm sure will result in many future musicians going through Ara's music arts programme. Now hear this! This is not fake news. Local Boy Marlon Williams has got himself a gig in a film with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. The original 1976 film was, A Star is Born starring Barbara Streisand. Marlon also won album of the year at our NZ music awards for 2018. He also performed recently in the mosque tribute concert and sang " And I Love You So" in Maori. very brave and very well done. Several of our Christchurch Pop Choir are heading off overseas to perform next year at Carnegie Hall. The Folk Club is still going great guns on Sundays at the Irish Society Club hall, 29 Domain terrace. Marguerite and Barrie Clubb are still going strong with recording musical performances at their fantastic earthy Greendale ex church venue. Bruce Lemming has recently be made a life member of the musos club. Another new recruit is Brian Clarke of the Meanies Band. Christchurchs Mr Music, Charlie Jemmett is now in full swing at the New Brighton Market on Saturdays and the Riccarton Market on Sunday. Charlie loves a good chat, so stop by. The concert by the Swan Sisters (Amiria Grenell and Amy Grace) for our musicians club KLM series was a great sucess and showed those who attended that our local musicians can hold there own with any in the country. Now a wee reflection, some blues. Sadly in the last few years we have lost many first class local muso's to the great gig in the sky. We remember Stu Buchanan, Doug Petrie, Brian Ringrose, Mita Edwards, Peter Hanson, Trevor Latham, Jim Phillips, Dean Luke and Phil Garland. A big music supporter was Hans Schuitman who started the Flaxwood Festivals which also became a wee tribute to another local legend, Murry Wood. Our events hostess Pat had her car broken into and the clubs laptop with heaps of club info was taken. Maybe whoever did the dirty deed will want to join up. Ralph and Jan, part of the committee, are taking over running the membership side of the club which is now free to join.

British pound broke a two-day rising streak
The British pound broke a two-day rising streak and edged lower on Monday as concerns rose that sizeable differences between Britain and the European Union remained for striking a Brexit withdrawal deal.
British lawmakers have passed a law requiring Prime Minister Boris Johnson to seek a delay to Brexit if the UK cannot agree a withdrawal deal by Oct. 19. But a report in the Daily Telegraph said Johnson intended to challenge that law, the Benn Act, in the Supreme Court.
Jane Foley, an analyst for Rabobank, said this week and next would be another "roller coaster" for the pound as it became clearer whether Britain and the EU would reach a deal and whether Johnson would challenge the Benn Act.
At current levels, the pound is pricing in a delay to Brexit beyond the Oct. 31 level, and a degree of hope for a last-minute agreement with Brussels, Foley said.
"Before the EU summit there will always be a modicum of hope that there will be a deal," Foley said.
Johnson has repeatedly vowed to take Britain out of EU on Oct. 31 – raising the prospect that he will move further to reach an agreement than many think, or that he intends to push back against parliamentary efforts to block a no-deal Brexit.
The prime minister urged French President Emanuel Macron on Sunday to "push forward" to secure a Brexit deal and told him the EU should not be lured into the mistaken belief that the UK would stay in the EU after Oct.31
Britain's latest Brexit proposal has been rebuffed in Brussels.
Sterling traded 0.1% lower at $1.2323. It was down 0.3% against the euro at 89.22 pence.
ING analysts attach a 10% to 15% chance a new deal would be reached over the next week.
"The story will then move on as to whether PM Johnson is forced to extend Article 50. Given little political risk premium priced into GBP around current levels, Cable looks vulnerable to $1.21," they said in a note.
But some analysts such as Goldman Sachs have recommended clients to go long sterling versus the dollar with a target of $1.30, citing relatively low odds of a no-deal exit from the European Union.
A series of disappointing economic data over the past week has added to worries about the British economy and the impact of Brexit-related political uncertainty.

Today is Purim and last night I decided to make hamentaschen (the spelling differs quite a bit)for the first time in my life. I found a recipe on Washington Post for cream cheese dough, went to the store, borrowed a rolling pin and a cutter from Sur La Table and set out to bake 32 cookies before going dancing.
The outcome was rather mixed: the cookies spread out and did not hold together, the baking time was at least 5-7 minutes longer than in the recipe, my kitchen is a gignormous mess. However, to concentrate on the positive, I tried something new, and the hamentaschen tasted absolutely great! Perhaps I'll try them again next year with a new recipe.

Researchers 'closing in' on solving HMS Endeavour mystery
Marine archaeologists have confirmed they believe a wreck found off the east coast of the United States is the historic Endeavour, sailed from Whitby by Captain James Cook 250 years ago.
- Report by Lisa Adlam
Scientists have been analysing the wrecks for 25 years and, after a long process of elimination, announced their latest findings on Friday September 21, 2018.
"This is the first time we've been really willing to say we think we're closing in on having the Endeavour," Kathy Abbass, director of the Rhode Island Marine Archaeology Project, told a press conference.
The team plan on taking measurements, testing timber samples from the wreck and excavating at the site to establish "how she's built and what she's built of".
Their results will then be compared with historical records in the hope of establishing Endeavour's resting place once and for all.
Dr Abbass said: "This is science. It's not a documentary. It's not something that will be over in 50 minutes. And we've got a lot more work to do."
HMS Endeavour is famed for carrying then-Lieutenant Cook on his first voyage of discovery to Australia 250 years ago.
Initially a humble collier, the ship was acquired by the Navy in 1768.
After a refit as a research ship she embarked in August of that year in search of the hypothesised continent of Terra Australis Incognita.
In October 1769 she reached New Zealand and spent six months mapping the North Island's coastline before Lt Cook went ashore and formally proclaimed British sovereignty in March 1770.
The Endeavour then sailed for Terra Australis and arrived in what is now known as Botany Bay in New South Wales on April 29.
After sailing along the continent's east coast she came close to oblivion after running aground on the Great Barrier Reef, and HMS Endeavour and her crew set sail back for Britain, arriving back in Dover in July 1771.
While Lt Cook returned a hero, HMS Endeavour slipped into relative obscurity and was refitted as a naval transport.
She was renamed the Lord Sandwich after passing into commercial ownership, although the ship returned to naval service after the outbreak of the American War of Independence.
According to records at the National Maritime Museum, the Lord Sandwich was one of five ships sunk in Newport Harbour on August 3 1778 in a bid to stop French ships entering the area.
Captain Cook died in Hawaii only a few months later, likely unaware of the fate of his previous ship.
The 250th anniversary of his claiming of Australia will be marked in 2020.
Peter Dexter, chairman of the Australian National Maritime Museum, said it would be "fabulous" if the wreck was authenticated as HMS Endeavour in time for the anniversary.
The legacy of Captain Cook's voyage to Australia remains a controversial topic Down Under and the potential discovery of the ship is likely to stir the debate over how his arrival is commemorated.
Dr Abbass said: "The Endeavour is considered to be the founding vessel for European Australians. The indigenous populations in Australia are not so happy about it, but that's a political debate that we don't get in to."

Cocaine is one of the most dangerous and misused drugs worldwide. Cocaine addiction is more often than not a result of repeated cocaine use – and the health issues it comes with are also well documented and extremely dangerous to you. Cocaine is also known to have a dangerous effect on your personal life. Many families , relationships, marriages and friendships had been broken through cocaine addiction. Are you someone who fears that their life is being affected through cocaine abuse – but you cannot stop taking the drug? It is never too late to get help. At Ocean Recovery Centre, we offer cocaine addiction treatment to help you free yourself from the shackles of cocaine addiction.
Cocaine Addiction Treatment – How It Works:
The first step of cocaine addiction treatment must be done by yourself. Step one is realisation. Many people who struggle with cocaine dependency will not admit that they indeed have an issue with drugs. This is due to the fact that addiction is still a stigma and many people feel that they would be considered weak if they admit that help is needed.
However, addiction is a disease – one that can happen to anyone. Addiction does not discriminate – an often-quoted sentence that is indeed true. People from all walks of life struggle with addiction – with no bearing on their strength, social standing or financial situation.
Once you are ready to admit you have a cocaine problem- give us a call. Once you have agreed to join our programme – we move on to the next step of your cocaine addiction treatment, detox.
Cocaine Addiction Treatment: Detox
The process of detoxification means to cleanse your body from a certain substance. For cocaine, this could take some time to get rid of the drug. It can stay in your urine for 4 days, and in your blood for up to 48 hours. Withdrawal symptoms are quite difficult for many addicts – as it can lead to some uneasy feelings such as ; runny noses, anxiety and depression. We employ medical professionals who are able to administer medication where needed – and make the normally uncomfortable rehab period a lot more comfortable.
After detox, we move on to CBT – cognitive behavioural therapy. This will allow you to change your way of thinking and coping with drug cravings. You will also be treated for co-existing psychological issues at our cocaine addiction treatment centre.
Why not give us a call today to find out more? Alternatively, you could also visit some of our other pages for more information.

The Split-S
The Split-S is essentially an inverted Immelmann turn.
How to fly it: Starting with straight and level flight at a higher altitude, the airplane is rolled through 180 degrees at the start of the maneuver. Up elevator is applied as soon as the airplane is inverted, and the throttle reduced. The airplane then enters an 'inverted' dive and is flown towards the ground.
Keeping up elevator applied, the airplane is pulled out of the dive and returned to straight and level flight to exit the Split-S maneuver. No rolling out is necessary, as the airplane will already be the correct way up.
Above is the Split-S on video (on the RealFlight G4 rc flight simulator), including close-ups of the Tx stick inputs and the airplane's response.

Gay Essential Review: Golden Boy at FilmOut San Diego
With a story so detailed that it feels autobiographical, this earthy, natural drama can't help but catch the audience by surprise as it pushes the characters through a series of intense situations. Golden Boy, which screened at FilmOut San Diego, is a strongly personal variation on the usual story of a young man who ends up lost on the streets of Los Angeles. Thankfully, director Stoney Westmoreland gives the film a loose, realistic vibe that helps undercut the movie's sometimes overwrought plot points.
The young man in question is James (played by Mark Elias, who wrote the script with Jonathan Browning). It's unclear why he came to Hollywood, but he's barely making ends meet, and when he loses his dull job he finds himself homeless. As he considers selling his body in the park, he runs into wealthy acquaintance CQ (Lex Medlin), who offers him a room in his mansion and a job as a courier. He also encourages James to further develop his artistic ambitions. While helping improve his image, CQ invites James events where he meets the lively Natalie (Kimberly Westbrook) and the hard-partying Houston (Logan Donovan), who introduces James to drug-fuelled nightclub life. Separately, James meets nice-guy photographer Josh (Paul Culos) and starts a relationship with him.
Through all of this, a variety of elements hint that trouble is coming. For one, CQ is vaguely predatory, and the packages he has James delivering are more than a little suspect. There's also the drug use, which causes problems that put James into debt, forcing him to work as a party host wearing just his underpants. And most engagingly for the audience, there's the clear threat to his romance once Josh learns about James' dodgy dealings. In other words, there's the sense that this is brewing into a cautionary tale about the perils of drugs and gay sex.
These things add nagging tension to every scene, which makes Golden Boy solidly gripping. Even when it's preachy, the film maintains sympathy with James, who is played with plenty of charm by Elias. It's a nicely nuanced performance, which traces the rollercoaster of James' experience. He may be aimless, but we root for him to sort himself out. That said, it's clear from the start that he should stay away from Houston, played with life-of-the-party energy by the charismatic Donovan. And Medlin infuses the generous CQ with a mercurial dark side. Much more involving is the strong chemistry Elias finds with Culos' relentlessly sensitive, intelligent and compassionate Josh.
Where all of this goes is somewhat pushy, mainly due to a severely violent turn of events in the final act. But the characters are strong enough to hold the interest: we care what happens to them. Westmoreland and his cast make sure that the story has a strong kick.
Statement from Producers: As of December 2018, production has severed ties with the original director of "Golden Boy" and thereby they are no longer associated or affiliated with this movie.

A MasterChef contestant from Clapham Common is competing in finals week.
Alex, 40, has made it to down to the final four and will continue her quest to become MasterChef winner 2018 on tonight's show.
The competition began with 56 contestants on Monday, February 26 and will conclude with the final on Friday, April 13.
Alex said: "I have been cooking ever since I was old enough to be allowed into the kitchen and for as long as I can remember I have always loved cooking."
She has been an avid fan of the show since the 90s, watching the show regularly with her mum.
After contemplating applying for the show for five years, she decided to take control of her own happiness and with encouragement from her sister, finally had the courage to submit the application form.
Her favourite part of the competition has been the mass catering challenge where she cooked for 120 RAF veterans at their Halton base. As part of a team, Alex cooked a three course meal which included salmon and chocolate ganache tart.
Alex's Portuguese heritage inspires her cooking, and she loves to cook Bacalhau, a salt cold dish frequent in Portuguese cuisine. She also loves to use as few ingredients as possible to allow the full, intense flavour to shine through.
Before MasterChef, Alex had no professional cooking experience, previously working as a visual merchandising specialist at Monsoon.
Through participating in the programme she has gained high quality experience, working with renowned chefs and now wants to pursue a career in the culinary industry.
She said: "The show has given me the knowledge and confidence to know I can cook and people like my food, so more than anything I aspire to cook my food in a professional environment. Finding a job that pushes me to expand my culinary skills and where I can express my creativity through food would be brilliant."
In tonight's episode, Alex along with the other three finalists will be in Peru where they will be cooking at Central Restaurant, the fifth best restaurant in the world and will be learning from Peruvian cuisine expert Gaston Acurio.
To see Alex's Peruvian inspired dishes, watch MasterChef tonight on BBC One at 8pm.

The Influence of Physical Activity on Schools and their Communities
This presentation will provide a historical account of the influence of physical activity on children and adolescents in schools. In particular, it will distinguish between physical education and physical activity in order to provide broader contextual understanding for related academic and psychological outcomes. Relationships between physical activity and (a) typically developing youth and (b) youth with disabilities will be explored. More specifically, my physical activity research about children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) will be presented to provide concrete examples of evidence-based practice for teachers, psychologists and parents. An emphasis Will be placed on the learning experiences from our service learning project that has been focused on children with ADHD and their families. We will explore assumptions related to expected outcomes from physical activity interventions and provide concrete examples of goal setting and activity selection that are geared to the promotion of self-regulation and self-actualization.
As a result of this workshop, participants will:
Gain up-to-date knowledge about the effects of physical activity on a variety of performance outcomes.
William Harvey, Ph.D., is an associate professor and undergraduate program director in the department of Kinesiology and Physical Education at McGill University. He is also the Director of the Choices in Health, Action, Motivation, Pedagogy and Skills (CHAMPS) physical activity research laboratory at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute. His mixed-methods research approaches explore self-determination and self-regulation of people with and without mental health problems in the areas of health and well-being.

CapitaLand adopts advanced energy-efficient cooling system for Raffles City Chongqing to reap S$30 million in utility cost avoidance
Largest development in Chongqing to be awarded LEED-CS precertification Gold for green building design and construction
Singapore, 20 May 2015 – Raffles City Chongqing, CapitaLand Limited's largest integrated development in China and the largest single investment by any Singapore firm in the country, is to date the single biggest development in Chongqing to implement an advanced district cooling system that will enable it to achieve up to 50% energy cost savings and avoid incurring a total of about S$30 million in utility cost.
This was announced at a signing ceremony between CapitaLand and Singapore Power to award a 20-year contract to Singapore Power to provide its advanced district cooling system to Raffles City Chongqing. Tenants of the iconic integrated development, which is strategically located at the gateway to Chongqing, are expected to enjoy lower utility costs, as the district cooling system is much more energy efficient compared to the conventional way of building chiller plants to supply air-conditioning. Chilled water will be centrally produced and piped to the development through an integrated underground pipe network to cool the air for air-conditioning, freeing up prime space for lease.
Mr Lim Ming Yan, President & Group CEO of CapitaLand Limited, said: "CapitaLand is one of the pioneer adopters of green building standards because we strongly believe sustainability is a continuous process that is integral to our business. As internationally recognised urban icons of excellence, Raffles City developments attest to CapitaLand's commitment to develop user-centric built environments to improve the economic, environmental and social well-being of our stakeholders. We look forward to partnering Singapore Power in implementing this advanced energy-efficient district cooling system at Raffles City Chongqing – the single biggest development in Chongqing to date to adopt the system – which will enable us to avoid incurring about S$30 million in utility cost over 20 years and eventually benefit our tenants in the long run."
Mr Wong Kim Yin, Group CEO of Singapore Power, said: "Singapore Power is excited to partner CapitaLand for Raffles City Chongqing. With our expertise in advanced energyefficient cooling networks, we are confident Raffles City Chongqing will set a new benchmark in sustainability. Advanced energy-efficient cooling networks are uniquely suited to serve China's drive towards urbanisation and clean development. Singapore Power will grow this 2 business with high priority, leveraging our advanced engineering capabilities and our successful track in Marina Bay Singapore."
In recognition of CapitaLand's drive towards sustainability, Raffles City Chongqing has been accorded the LEED-CS (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – Core & Shell) pre-certification at the Gold Level by the United States Green Building Council. LEED is a green building certification programme that recognises best-in-class building strategies and practices. Raffles City Chongqing is the city's largest development to receive the Gold certification. Its sustainable measures include optimising shades to reduce heat, using a high efficiency irrigation system to conserve water, recycling construction waste, using building materials with recycled content, and installing carbon dioxide sensors at office areas with fresh air control.
Mr Lucas Loh, CEO of CapitaLand China, commented: "CapitaLand is committed to building developments that are environmentally sustainable. Raffles City Chongqing is CapitaLand's third integrated development in China to receive the LEED-CS pre-certification gold award, after Raffles City Chengdu and Raffles City Hangzhou. Besides being the largest project in Chongqing to receive this certification, Raffles City Chongqing is located at Chao Tien Men, which has been identified by the government as one of the top 10 areas for development in the municipality. It will be a masterpiece that will rejuvenate the city of Chongqing and be a strong showcase of West China's progress to the international audience."
With demolition and excavation works on site fully completed and construction well on its way, Raffles City Chongqing is on schedule to open in phases from 2018. The landmark integrated development will be the crown jewel of Chongqing with frontage along the Yangtze and Jialing rivers. It will enjoy excellent connectivity as it will be integrated with a transportation hub which consists of a subway station, bus interchange, ferry terminal and cruise centre.
Designed by internationally renowned architect Moshe Safdie, Raffles City Chongqing has a total gross floor area of 817,000 square metres. It will comprise a shopping mall, eight towers of high-end residences, grade-A office, luxury serviced residence and international five-star hotel. The two tallest towers will stand at 350 metres. In addition to having the tallest residential tower in China, four of the towers will be linked by a 280-metre Conservatory. The Conservatory will have a viewing deck, infinity pool, sky walk and varied dining options. Raffles City Chongqing's prime site is next to the traditional Central Business District of Jie Fang Bei, which is known for its broad pedestrian streets lined with shopping malls and department stores.
Mr Lim added, "China remains as one of CapitaLand's core markets, accounting for 44% of the Group's total assets. Chongqing, being the only municipal city in inland China, offers immense investment potential. It has a population of about 30 million and achieved the fastest economic growth in 2014 among Chinese cities – its GDP grew 10.9% year-on-year to RMB 1426.5 billion. Chao Tian Men has historically been a vital commercial port and gateway for Chongqing. With its prime location, excellent connectivity, world-class design and spectacular view, we are confident that Raffles City Chongqing will be a sought-after location for retailers, office tenants, homebuyers, business travellers and tourists in West China."
Raffles City Chongqing is CapitaLand's eighth Raffles City development in China. This project is a joint investment by CapitaLand and Singbridge Holdings Pte. Ltd. Including land cost, the total development cost of the project is expected to be about S$4.2 billion. CapitaLand officially opened its first Raffles City development in Singapore in 1986. The Group later brought the Raffles City brand to China in 2003 and has since expanded its stable of Raffles City developments to eight with a total construction floor area of over 3.1 million square metres. Other than Raffles City developments in Beijing, Chengdu, Ningbo and Shanghai that are operational, CapitaLand has four other Raffles City developments in Chongqing, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai (Changning) currently under development. CapitaLand's eight Raffles City projects in China will have a value of S$12 billion when completed.

|The largest independent, non-commercial, consumer-oriented resource on the Internet for owners, collectors and enthusiasts of fine wristwatches. Online since 1998.
Vintage Heuer Discussion Forum
The place for discussing 1930-1985 Heuer wristwatches, chronographs and dash-mounted timepieces. Online since May 2003.
I am fully aware of various anomalies in the Heuers of that period including French production by Monnin of various 7765 powered models and I also own a rare 3006 (Vjx 7734) that was considered to be a 'franken' until Stewart Morley found it in the 1979 German catalogue about ten years ago.
I also have a rare fume Daytona with an odd model engraving error on the caseback using a Verona reference (one digit wrong) even though the Verona uses a different type of caseback to the Daytona. There are other examples : the 'Economy' Monza Cal 12 is often seen with a 150.501 caseback which relates to its Cal 15 cousin even though it has a different reference 110.501.
That said, The other examples of the 13 1 that you have found with a caseback consistent with yours all appear to have been heavily refinished on the caseback without the 'Automatic' script. There are definitely at least two types of 13 1 font / caseback engraving visible in images found on Google but no others I can find marked "Automatic" even when the font / engraving looks similar to yours.
How that caseback marked as "Automatic" came to be on there is a mystery. That said I would personally agree with Mathis and consider it highly unlikely to have left the Heuer (or outside sub contractor's) factory with that caseback fitted.
I would simply enjoy the watch - they are nice pieces with robust movements and the PVD case looks to be in good order.

Dynamical realizations of l-conformal Newton-Hooke group [PDF]Anton Galajinsky, Ivan Masterov
The method of nonlinear realizations and the technique previously developed in arXiv:1208.1403 are used to construct a dynamical system without higher derivative terms, which holds invariant under the l-conformal Newton-Hooke group. A configuration space of the model involves coordinates, which parametrize a particle moving in d spatial dimensions and a conformal mode, which gives rise to an effective external field.The dynamical system describes a generalized multi-dimensional oscillator, which undergoes accelerated/decelerated motion in an ellipse in accord with evolution of the conformal mode. Higher derivative formulations are discussed as well. It is demonstrated that the multi-dimensional Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator enjoys the l=3/2-conformal Newton-Hooke symmetry for a particular choice of its frequencies.View original: http://arxiv.org/abs/1303.3419

Blind Sight by James Pence (Book Review)
Shared by Kristi
Title: Blind Sight
Author: James Pence
Publisher: Tyndale
About the book: Remember the promise. . .Save my children. . .
All Thomas Kent wants is to die. . .but a mysterious e-mail and a voice from the past stir him to fight for his life and the lives of a family he doesn't know.
The leader of a powerful and dangerous cult threatens the country's future, and Thomas holds the only evidence for its destruction.
As the cult's plan enters its final phase, Thomas must cast his fear aside and act before it's too late. (back cover)
My thoughts: This was definitely a page turner and was hard to put down. When a college friend contacts Thomas and asks him to deliver his children to his wife, who had defected from the cult, Thomas has doubts that he can follow through. These doubts are because of tragedy in his past that he has not been able to deal with. When he sees how desperate these people (cult) are to get to the kids though, he makes the decision to try and help them.
The story is told from many different points of view ranging from Thomas' to the kids he is helping, Michelle and Micah, to their mother Justine. This really added to the story and made it feel complete.
If anyone read my review earlier today on Terror By Night, I think it is amazing that the one page that Terry Caffey found from this book was so applicable to his life. Where this book is fiction, and Terror By Night is non-fiction, I felt they both centered around the fact that God is sovereign and He is in control - even though we may not understand why events are happening. I believe that when James Pence wrote this book in 2003 that God knew that one page would be influencing a man in 2008. Both books are must reads!

The British conditions are notoriously unpredictable. We could have a mild dry winter and extremely wet summers, one factor make certain is always that regardless of what season it's, your home is capable of withstand the plethora of our seasons.
We have to all take the time to check and apparent our gutters and make sure there isn't any leaks that creates moist problems and finally structural problems.
For individuals who've a collection roof on your lawn, searching for leaks inside the roofing is a crucial little bit of maintenance. The ultimate factor that you might want could be the room using your flat roof to obtain sodden and then for any furniture within it destroyed due to moist. Spending an hour or so approximately every from time to time and spending some time to look for the roof will eliminate any potential problems that could occur.
Inside the unfortunate event that you just do uncover that houses roof needs replacing the best option just like a substitute is EPDM also referred to as ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber. The merchandise has several attributes in it. It's not hard to maintain, features a proven existence time more than fifty years and does not crack or split due to Ultra purple sun sun rays. The material used may also be eco-friendly.
What's EPDM? It is a very hard wearing synthetic rubber membrane first found in America through the 1960s. It consists of ethylene and propylene plus other forms it is also useful for door and window seals and hose pipes. It is simple to install via a water-proof specialist adhesive and is wonderful for usage on flat roof areas.
Installing the merchandise does not need the top heat useful for other sorts of flat roof installation. The EPDM roofing method is installed using cold applied adhesive, which eliminates the hearth hazard safety issue. The adhesive can be purchased when the roofing is purchased.
How can you know how much rubber to purchase within my roof? The most effective websites available on the web possess a calculator that can be used to get the volume of product you'll need. The overall size the top will probably be calculated combined with type of edges adjoining the flat roof. The type of EPDM along with any extras might be added before the final order is completed.
Which are the different size options? The rubber will come in enough different widths that will match your installation and then for any length that you'll require might be purchased. This ensures the item is completely universal within the fitting for almost any sized project that's required.
There are numerous types of EPDM, the classic type can be a fundamental rubber sheeting that's installed. The higher advanced type of roofing features a polyester fleece layer stuck towards the rear from the rubber. This gives the growth of getting the opportunity to become installed directly on top of all existing systems and then for any imperfections inside the levels will probably be flatten because of this extra layer.

Major Medical Centers ask Congress to Probe Genentech Distribution Shift
Last month, Genentech angered hospitals and academic medical centers around the country by changing distribution for three big-selling cancer medicines. The drug maker is now using a handful of specialty distributors, which are actually divisions of the same wholesalers that have already been distributing the drugs. Until recently, dozens of wholesalers stocked the medicines. The institutions are angry because they argue the switch will force them to pay tens of millions of dollars more each year in higher drug costs and could delay patient care.
Now, the heads of 10 of the largest academic medical centers in the U.S. are asking Congress to review the move. This comes shortly after Ascension Health, one of the nation's largest operators of hospitals and clinics, has banned Genentech sales reps from visiting its 1,900 hospitals and clinics around the country.

The project will receive £1.48 million (£0.94M in government funding, bringing the total DCMS funding to £4.9M, and also an additional £0.54 million from consortium partners.)
The announcement was jointly made with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) at an event to celebrate the project's first successful year, at Sensor City, Liverpool.
11 organisations from Liverpool's hospitals, council, universities and technology SMEs have created new 5G supported health technologies to help people in Liverpool's Kensington to manage long-term health conditions like diabetes and epilepsy themselves at home. This frees up urgently needed health and social care resources to be used where they are critically needed.
"Liverpool 5G is pleased to announce we've had funding for our 5G project extended for another 12 months. This recognises the great work taking place across the project and gives us more time to explore the benefits of providing affordable 5G technology to people living in digitally deprived communities, with long-term health conditions."
Rosemary Kay, Liverpool 5G Health and Social Care Project Director
"We want the UK to be a world leader in 5G and our modern industrial strategy will help deliver this. The Liverpool testbed is just one of the innovative 5G projects we're funding across the country and I'm pleased it can continue its important work. I recently visited it and saw first-hand how 5G can improve quality of life and transform the way health and social care is delivered in our communities."
Margot James, Minister for Digital
One of the technologies created as part of the pilot is a Loneliness Gaming and Quizzing App. The app has been co-developed by CGA Simulation and group of people with a learning disability, from Kensington Community Learning Centre (KCLC). The group meet at KCLC each week to take part in activities and games and to chat.
"Working with people with a learning disability from KCLC to develop the app has been a brilliant process. We have been able to adapt the colours, font size and choice, language and contrast used in the game to better enable people with different conditions to use the app. It is now far more accessible and useable for this group."
Jane Davies, CGA Simulation's Producer
"We've found that using the app in a setting where a group can split into teams and play the game as friends is ideal. The app has also turned out to be a perfect test case for 5G technology as we need the high bandwidth offered by 5G technology to drive the device to device video capability."
Jon Wetherall, CGA Simulation's Managing Director
The other technologies being trialled include:
- Safehouse Sensors, which are installed in homes to detect falls, changes in temperature and unusual behaviour patterns.
- PAMAN, which provides a video link to a local pharmacy, helping people to take medicines at home safely.
- 'Push to Talk' a loneliness app for isolated carers, which puts them in touch with other carers in a similar position and the 'Loneliness Gaming and Quizzing App', being trialled by people with a learning disability in Kensington.
- Telehealth in a Box', designed to aid communication between The Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Trust and patients in the community, and 5G supported VR devices used as palliative pain distraction in wards.
- 'WarnHydrate' a device used to detect dehydration in older people.
- Blu Wireless Technology has developed wireless 5G mesh networks using existing fibre and equipment erected on street furniture like lampposts. The technology can be delivered cost effectively, across a dense urban environment, to provide general coverage.
These applications all rely on 5G's durability, speed and increased data transfer to provide a consistent service for patients. The project has also designed a new 'Adoption Readiness Level' (ARL) tool, which has helped the project team better understand how useful and easily adopted health technologies are by the health and social care services using them.

It's a party at the Weird Soda Review Labs!
We have a number of guests here tonight, including (I can say with great joy) a horticulturalist friend of mine, who shall be known as DigDoug. Also present are Gointotrance (who has been here before), his partner Purpleatrix, Neighsayer, and Cryptonaut (DigDoug's brother-in-law, a linguist, world traveler, and Web designer). We've been celebrating Nazgul's birthday party with much merriment, and Cryptonaut extremely generously presented the Lab with a Malaysian blueberry-aloe soda which I've never seen before. More on that in the next review.
While we have DigDoug here, though, I've been meaning to get his help in reviewing one of the rare group of herb or weed-based sodas. Ben Shaws Dandelion and Burdock is one example, but I was delighted to find another recently. While perusing a local Armenian market, I was delighted to find a bottle of bright green soda labeled "Tarragon". Now, cumin is my very favorite spice. I like cumin in almost anything*. Tarragon isn't in my top ten, except on fish. But--and this is the most important part--as soda flavorings go, it's definitely Weird. How could I pass this up?
Where and when: Purchased at the Armenian market.
Color: A remarkable, deep emerald green, almost bluish. It's sort of like Green River, but more saturated, if anything.
DigDoug: "What's that old time soda? Rock phosphate green."
Gointotrance: "It's a green only found in those stretchy Coke bottles from carnivals when you were a kid."
DigDoug: "Totally."
Purpleatrix: "It's the color of your pee when you start taking your vitamins. Well, almost."
Scent: It has a sweet smell, with a strong bitter/herbal element.
DigDoug: "Remember that paste, like the glue-paste in elementary school?"
Gointotrance: "To me, it smells like children's cough syrup."
That's...odd. It's sweet, but the sweet is accompanied by an odd, heady, musky/herbal/bitter taste.
DigDoug: "Thin and punchy."
Gointotrance: "It's got a cream soda aftertaste, after a while."
It does, a very delayed vanilla taste.
Neighsayer:"You know what? I like it." sounding astonished. "Of course, my nose is partially stuffed right now, so I have some level of protection."
Cryptonaut: "Tastes like licorice that's been left out in the rain."
Gointotrance: "The first taste was kind of that diet cough medicine flavor. Then there was a middle taste, which kind of made me *clears throat* a bit, I didn't enjoy the middle taste at all. Then there was the cream soda aftertaste. Of course, I like licorice left in the rain."
Digdoug: "Kind of a rehydrated play-doh flavor. You know, it's got that salty-sweet flavor in there."
Cryptonaut: "Reconstituted play-doh."
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
DigDoug: "Well, it brings back a lot of elementary school memories."
Gointotrance: "This seems to be bringing back almost exclusively memories from our childhood."
I think I taste a bit of cantaloupe. And yes, I think there's a bit of tarragon.
Gointotrance: "Even though it's green, it tastes pink."
It's actually pretty good, once you get past the slightly bitter/musky tone. It's pleasant, coolly sweet, and reasonably smooth.
Apparently (Cryptonaut is doing some research), this is a Soviet drink which was flavored either with tarragon or woodruff. He has also discovered that woodruff is also known as "wild baby's breath" and "master of the woods".
Apparently, woodruff is not convincing to Gointotrance.
Gointotrance: "I'm not drinking much more. Tastes like dandruff."
Quaff rating: 2.5. I would probably have given it a 3, but the general opinion of the others present is less charitable.
Cough rating: 1.5. The herbal taste is very...distinctive.
*The main exception was the experimental vanilla-cumin cream cheese. Oh God.

What is Ocean Planning?
The ocean and the livelihoods it supports are vital to New England. People in New England greatly value our ocean heritage and are seeking basic needs from the ocean—jobs, food, energy, and recreation, among others—in new and increasingly complex ways. At the same time, environmental changes are affecting the health of the ocean and its creatures.
Ocean planningis a way to meet these challenges. Government agencies and stakeholders can work together to anticipate needs, set priorities, and make decisions from a regional perspective.
The result? Better, more efficient decisions, with more public input, about how to protect New England's oceans and sustainably use its resources.

Bengals are betting on speed in 2017
The Cincinnati Bengals could go in one of two directions this season. They could show last year's 6-9-1 finish was an aberration, or they could turn the losing into a trend.
In 2015, the Cincinnati Bengals set a franchise record with an 8-0 start to the season. They went on to finish 12-4, made the playoffs, and had eight players voted to the Pro Bowl. Just a year later, down an offensive coordinator (Hue Jackson) and a few key weapons (wideouts Marvin Jones and Mohamed Sanu), the Bengals sputtered Cheap Stitched Jerseys on offense. Their scoring declined from 26.2 points per game to 20.3, and they missed the playoffs for the first time since 2010.
To paraphrase: "We've been through a lot," Fisher would remind the press after each game. Usually, "we don't make excuses" was thrown in there, too.
The Rams struggled to win last season for a lot of reasons. The move was just one small part of that mix, but not enough to paper over four prior years of poor roster building — thanks to a long list of squandered possibilities from trading the second pick in the 2012 NFL draft to Washington for a bundle of draft picks.
This show picks up in the fifth year since Fisher and general manager Les Snead have run the team. It's a squad without much talent to speak of on offense. The defense, which features a budding superstar in defensive tackle Aaron Donald, is the better unit, but it too was in a down year in 2016. That was in part due to the team's failure to lock down cornerback Janoris Jenkins, who would've provided the show its most compelling player by far.
How the Rams devolved into a four-win team is mostly left up to the viewer to decide. The cameras failed to catch whatever conversation on the subject that might have happened between players and the team's leadership.

Showing all errors with PHP
Friday 22nd January 2010
When developing a site with PHP, it can be a great testing tool to be able to see any errors resulting from your code. Sometimes the default server php configuration hides these errors and in my experience most of them do. But you can show the errors with a couple of extra lines of code. This allows you to see where you've gone wrong (and why things aren't doing what you think they should), whether it be due to variables not initialised or of the wrong type, or from a mysql error. Just place the following two lines at the top of your php script:
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
This code allows you to see error notices and warnings. Even if your site appears to be working correctly, you could have a number of warnings from inefficient code or due to forgetfulness. You do have to be vigilant though, and make sure that error displaying is turned off when your website is "live." Although a great tool in the development process, on a live site error messaging can be a very valuable source of information for people looking to attaack your site. The messages may seem like a different language to the regular user, but a maliciuous developer could force errors on a site in an attempt to identify possible weaknesses and areas to attack.

Finally, we get to find out if he is money.
Heeeeeeeere's Johnny!
Heeeeeeerre's Johnny Manziel, aka Johnny Cleveland, floating to the rescue of the Browns on Sunday against the Bengals on his inflatable swan, only this time, he better drop the champagne bottle and pick up a football and grow up and show a panting, championship-starved city what all the hype has been about.
It is time for the kid to stop acting like a frat boy and remind the football world that you can't spell Manziel without M-A-N.
He may have been born for a stage and a moment like this, but that won't be TCU or Baylor or Texas Tech growling at him on the other side of the line of scrimmage.
This is The Battle of Ohio with playoff ramifications and an opposing head coach who has taunted Johnny Munchkin with a more insensitive "M" word and apologized for it.
Which means there is no better time for him to play big than this time.
He should do himself a favor and put an end to early-morning galavanting around town and get in that playbook and be the leader that Brian Hoyer has been for the Browns.
But Hoyer threw away the last chance Mike Pettine gave him, and heeeere's Johnny.
Broadway Joe Namath didn't live in the social media world that Johnny Cleveland finds himself in, and it would behoove him to recognize that the city hasn't turned its lonely eyes to him for being a playboy who counts LeBron and Drake among his friends.
Cleveland yearns for a champion quarterback who can make it forget Tim Couch and Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson and Colt McCoy and Brandon Weeden.
Manziel, whose improvisational gifts became legendary at Texas A&M, was drafted to be that quarterback. To lift a team and a town on his shoulders.
"I feel the bigger the stage, the more energized, the more passionate I am," Manziel said at his introductory press conference. "It's great to have those bright lights, the big stage, the big game, the big moments. It's what you live for being a quarterback."
When they asked him about being the first quarterback under 6-feet tall selected in the draft's first round in nearly 60 years, he said: "You can measure height, but you can't really measure heart. I feel like I play way bigger than 5-11. For me, all that does is it means even more that this team did select me. That's just a stat. At the same time, I'm going to play extremely hard to make up that difference. I don't think you have to be a certain height to be successful."
Down in Kerrville, Texas, which Manziel put on the map playing for the Tivy High School Antlers, an unmistakable buzz and excitement is in the air. Bessie Fifer is a longtime receptionist at the school.
"Johnny is a person that if he believes, he's going to do it," Fifer said, "and I know for a fact that he knows that he can play in the NFL, and he's going to be fantastic."
Fifer first met Manziel during his freshman year.
"He was sitting in my office, and my cousin was one of his friends, and they all said, 'Do you know Johnny Manziel?' " Fifer recalled. "I go, 'Nope. Never heard of him.' He said, 'You will.'"
Fifer is convinced football is very important to him.
"If you don't know him, how can you judge him?" Fifer said. "You got to remember that you were also 21 at that time, and if you drank, you probably did the same thing that he's doing, only he's in the public, and so his gets blown out, whereas yours did not."
She texted him a Happy Thanksgiving and he texted her back. She is certain Cleveland will one day give thanks for Johnny Manziel.
"I honestly believe that he's going to take Cleveland to a championship game — maybe not this year, maybe not next year, but it's going to happen if he stays there," Fifer said.
So you think he's going to win a Super Bowl for Cleveland?
"I don't know if it's for Cleveland," Fifer said, "but he's going to have a Super Bowl ring before he leaves the NFL."
Jerry Jones, who reluctantly passed on Johnny Football, will be watching. Woody Johnson, who passed on Johnny Football because Geno Smith was his quarterback, will be watching.
Everyone will be watching.

NASCAR legend film
A film biography of the NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt is set to appear on screen. For those of you who don't know Earnhardt was one of the sports most famous and most successful drivers who was killed in an accident on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500.
The statistics for the driver are staggering, but there's one big obsticle for the film, how well NASCAR is known abroad.
According to Variety who carry the announcement, Dale Earnhardt was the most successful driver of all NASCAR:
Earnhardt drove the famous No. 3 black Chevy, won seven NASCAR Winston Cup titles, 76 career races and more than $40 million in purses, finally winning Daytona in 1998 after losing the prestigious race 20 times.
He built his own racing empire called DEI, which his widow and son have both been involved in, however his son, Dale Earnhardt Jr., left the company after his stepmother refused him majority control of the company and he's off racing on his own, entering the Daytona 500 under his own banner for the first time. Despite that it appears that both widow and son have pledged cooperation on the film.
Now I love fast cars, and in particular I love F1, despite the horribly tainted reputation the governing body of the sport has given it this year with inconsistent punishments clearly penalising one team in favour of allowing their main money earner to win. Yes, I'm not bitter about it, but the sport is hugely corrupt.
However the American NASCAR racing has never really made it to the same scale in my eyes, nor is it as big over here as it is in the U.S., getting to see it on television is the biggest issue for a start.
Then there are the films of racing where not many have been successful, and with NASCAR in particular the comedy Talladega Nights was more successful than Days of Thunder. It seems racing films don't have a great finishing record at the box office.
This film will take the American icon and create his life in film and cover a number of topics that aren't just about racing, something I think will make the film much more accessible to a non-racing and a non-U.S. audience. There's the love story between Dale and Teresa his widow, there's the story of how his son began racing and was still trying to find his way when his father was killed, then there's the story of his racing and the man himself.
It does sound like there's plenty of potential here, but the most worrying thing is that the NASCAR might not appeal to a worldwide audience.

The service will be offered through a planned Kmart e-commerce site dubbed BlueLight.com and will be powered by Spinway, a free ISP with funding from Masayoshi Son's Softbank and Seagate founder Al Shugart, the sources said.
Yahoo will become the interface for the co-branded service on BlueLight.com, sources confirmed.
Yahoo declined to comment on the deal. Kmart was not immediately available for comment.
A Spinway spokeswoman would not confirm or deny the company's involvement in the BlueLight.com venture.
A number of signs point to Spinway's involvement, however.
The header on BlueLight.com's Web site reads "BlueLight.com @ spinway," and the site has one text phrase posted that reads: "Something exciting and fun is on the way..." A search on Network Solutions' Whois domain directory shows the BlueLight.com name registered to Softbank.
A Kmart representative said the company will hold a press conference tomorrow morning in New York at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel to make "an announcement in regards to their e-commerce strategy."
A Spinway representative said the company also will hold a press conference tomorrow morning at the Waldorf Astoria to make an undisclosed announcement. In addition, Spinway is holding a launch party tomorrow evening in San Francisco, according to an email invitation sent to CNET News.com.
News of the expected deal comes as more Internet heavyweights are turning to offline retail chains to add mainstream consumers to their services. Microsoft recently inked a deal with RadioShack to market its services. America Online also is expected to announce a similar cross-marketing deal with Wal-Mart, according to Salomon Smith Barney analyst Richard Church.
The trend toward striking deals with brick-and-mortar stores could indicate that Internet giants are looking for ways to add more mainstream consumers to their services. Internet growth in recent months has slowed, according to reports by Media Metrix, leaving some analysts to wonder whether the phenomenon will hurt Internet stocks.
Similar to free ISP 1stUp.com, which powers AltaVista's free Internet service, Spinway requires users to download an interface that feeds advertisements to them. By doing so, the company can track user behavior and habits. With this information, the free ISP can sell spots on its interface to advertisers looking to target their product messages.
For Yahoo, the co-branded Internet access service could serve as another vehicle through which to build its audience. And the deal could further extend Kmart's Internet efforts by allowing it to market a well-known Internet brand.
The deal was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
