text: Reviewer: Chunkblower Review Date: October 24, 2011 Format: DVD Released by: Echo Bridge Release date: April 12, 2011 MSRP: $6.99 Region 1 Interlaced Full Frame 1.33 | 16x9: No 1992Children of the Corn didn't exactly set the world on fire when it premiered in 1984. It came and, by virtue of its extremely low budget, made a tidy profit before disappearing to the wasteland of home video. Then, a funny thing happened there: the film started to gain a following. Slowly but surely it built an audience and a reputation. Indeed, the booming home video market of the 1980s gave a lot films a second chance at profitability (box office dud 9 ½ Weeks was one of the top renting titles of the decade) or helped them find enough of an audience to justify a blockbuster sequel (The Terminator). As the 80s concluded, what was initially dismissed as a low rent potboiler had earned itself a solid reputation as one of the better Stephen King adaptations of the decade, all thanks to the muscle it flexed at the video store. Of course, this is the horror genre so any film with even a small following is ripe to be franchised. It took a while (rights issues, I think) but eventually a sequel followed. Sequels that trail so long after the fact are usually one of two things: either they're a one-off to make a few quick bucks, or they're a kind of proof of concept for the resurrection and continuation of a franchise. I think it was intended as the former but, somehow, Children of the Corn II wound up being the latter. It planted a seed that would grow into a shockingly prolific series that continues to this day (the ninth Corn movie, Genesis, was released just this fall). It's kind of amazing that the series continued after Part II, since The Final Sacrifice is an awful sequel and a terrible movie on its own, unambitious terms. The Story It's immediately after the carnage depicted in the first film and the media and law enforcement descend on the town of Gatlin to sift through the wreckage and figure out what happened. The surviving children, uncommunicative aside from muttering about "the corn," are shuttled off to foster homes in the nearby town of Hemingford (a reference to King's The Stand). Tabloid reporter John Garett (Terence Knox) is taking a break to take his estranged son Danny (Paul Scherrer) on a road trip while Danny's mother is off getting remarried. En route, they almost get into a car accident with some of John's former colleagues from his days as a real journalist. The reporters are heading to Hemingford to cover the story about the children of Gatlin. John automatically smells an opportunity to regain some credibility as a journalist by covering a sensational story that's 100% legit (for a change). John and Danny head straight to Hemingford and rent a room at the local bed and breakfast which is owned by the attractive Angela Casual (Rosalind Allen), who has also taken in one of the orphaned Gatlin children, Micah (Ryan Bollman). The reporters, on the other hand, get lost on the way to Gatlin, stopping in a cornfield to check a map (bad idea). As thanks for their devotion to the pursuit of truth, the two are slashed and speared by some vengeful cornstalks. Back at the bed and breakfast, John tries to interview Micah but all the nearly comatose boy can manage is utterances about "…the corn." Danny can't help but take potshots at his Dad's hamfisted investigative style and the two get in an argument where John gives a brutal dressing down ("I was seventeen and I made a mistake!"). Danny, understandably upset, takes off for the bus stop and a trip back to civilization. At the bus stop he meets the nubile Lacey (Christie Clark). She's the only argument he needs to stay in Hemingford, at least until he can get into her pants. That night the children of Gatlin gather in a nearby cornfield. With Isaac gone, they are without a leader and some of the kids are starting to get skeptical that any of the things Isaac preached were true. Perhaps sensing that he's about to lose his flock, He Who Walks Behind the Rows chases Micah down and possesses him. Micah emerges from the corn as the prophesized new leader, and he mobilizes the children for another campaign of murder and terror. Their first victim: Mrs. Burke (Marty Terry), the town busybody, who's been uttering dire warnings against the children. They lure her underneath and then drop her house on her (an intentional nod to The Wizard of Oz?), and leave a cross smeared with corn mold on the front of their house as a calling card. As John investigates the Gatlin killings he meets Frank Redbear (Ned Remero) at the abandoned school. Frank is a Native American who is also a professor of anthropology at the local University. Together, they discover that the corn mold has toxic and corrosive properties. The substance seems to be all over the corn and the two men team up to discover the connection between the mold and the Gatlin killings, running afoul of corrupt law enforcement and narrowly avoiding a height readjustment via combine in the process. They need to do something with the quickness, too, when Lacey and Angela are abducted to be used as sacrifices to He Who Walks Behind the Rows, with Danny to be the one to swing the sacrificial blade. I'm not one of the original's ardent admirers but I will grudgingly admit that it has its moments and as a low rent thriller, it's hardly the worst I've ever seen. It's not a story that exactly cries out for a continuation, though. Even if it were it's hard to imagine any film crying out to be followed up in as mediocre fashion as Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice follows its predecessor. It's mind-blowing that Corn II was able to secure a theatrical release, since everything about it from the static direction to the flat acting to the chintzy special effects just screams early 90's direct-to-video. Even being a fairly undiscriminating 13-year-old, I still remember seeing a newspaper ad for Corn II and thinking to myself: "Hasn't that train long since left the station?" Apparently not; there's no corpse so (corn)moldy that there isn't a filmmaker somewhere willing to exhume it in the interest of making a quick buck. I've been on lately about how a lot of horror sequels are good and under rated; this film is a glaring counterpoint to my thesis. Like many of the worst genre sequels, Corn II doesn't expand the mythos of the first film but tries instead to explain it away. Rather than being a supernatural embodiment of evil, He Who Walks Behind the Rows now manifests itself as the hallucinogenic symptom of exposure to toxic corn mold. Of all the ways you could explain away the events of the first film, this has got to be the most inane one possible. The film doesn't even have the courage of its convictions, as it implies a supernatural cause from the get-go and then makes it overt in the finale. Is this some half-assed attempt at building suspense? Seriously, what is the point of this subplot? The original was hardly a polished mega budget production, but Corn II reeks of cheap, poverty row filmmaking from frame one. The silly computer effects that were evidently added after the fact (they're not present in the Canadian and European theatrical versions) may have given the movie a bit of razzle-dazzle back in 1992, but they haven't aged well at all. That money would have been better spent beefing up the in-camera make ups or adding a couple of creative kills. The intent was probably to hop on the T2/Lawnmower Man CGI bandwagon which might have earned them a few additional bucks in ticket sales but really kills any chance for Corn II to have an extended shelf life. Credit where credit is due time: there is one pretty good practical effect gag involving a whittled voodoo doll and an epic nosebleed in a church. The scene starts out funny but grows more and more intense and horrifying as it progresses. The scene never really crescendos to a genuinely memorable payoff, but it should still hit home for anybody who has suffered a public, gushing nosebleed. B-movie staple Rosalind Allen appears as the owner of a bed and breakfast. In one of the stupidest wardrobe choices in cinematic history, she's wearing shoulder pads under her flimsy, practically see-through t-shirt. She and Christie Clark, the other female lead, aren't given much to do other than bed the male leads and be damsels in distress during the finale. As is the case with a lot of real religious cults, it seems that sexism is the coin of He Who Walk's realm. It's odd that this movie was penned by Gil Adler and A.L. Katz during the same time as their tenure on HBO's Tales from the Crypt series. The screenplay for Children of the Corn II stands in stark contrast to their work on that show: their Crypt episodes are among the best of the series' run, while Corn II is one of the lamest horror sequels of the 1990s. Yes, the constraints of a low budget can make it difficult for writer's work to make it to the screen but, seriously, it doesn't cost anything extra to write punchy dialogue instead of bad, or to throw in some or wit or a clever turn of phrase to liven up the proceedings. You'll find none of that in Children of the Corn II. So anaemic is The Final Sacrifice that it doesn't even deliver on the base level that even the most distressingly average B-movie can usually muster. There's almost no gore, no decent scares or cheap thrills, nothing new added to the mythos and no point in watching it, whatsoever. The original was an okay enough potboiler but this is the film that launched a ten film franchise that is still chugging along today? That's a dark miracle that perhaps He Who Walks Behind the Rows might have had a hand (or stalk) in. Image Quality The video is about as impressive as the film itself. While the full-frame image is mostly clean and free of defects, it's also extremely washed out. Colors are dull and detail is lacking. Day scenes are washed out and dark scenes are rife with crushed blacks and mosquito noise and the fiery finale is a showcase of color banding. Oddest anomaly: at the end of the scene in the abandoned school contrast really noticeably strobes for a few seconds. Trippy, man. It's an okay transfer but it looks like it was pressed from a VHS or LD master. The source material is clearly in need of re-mastering, though I can certainly understand not wanting to bother spending the time and money on such a mediocre movie. Sound The Dolby Digital 2.0 audio is serviceable. All elements are well balanced but none of them stand out. The sound mix on the film isn't terribly sophisticated so there's not much to say about this track. It accomplishes the bare minimum it needs to and nothing more (which is honestly more than can be said of the feature itself). Supplemental Material No supplements, not even a trailer, are included. Final Thoughts Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice has long been out of print and has gained a bit of lustre as movies do when they're kept out of the hands of the public. Do not be deceived. While there was no good reason for it to take so long for it to be released on DVD, there's no good reason to see it now that it has. This belated sequel feels lazy and slapdash and, worst of all, it's dull, dull, dull. Even if you're a fan of the original, don't waste your time with this follow up. Among cinematic harvests, Children of the Corn II is a low-yielding crop. Rating Movie - D Image Quality - C- Sound - C Supplements - N/A Technical Info.

Finally, I have got round to making a decision about my planned visit to Australia, it wasn't a decision about whether or not I was going, more about how I was going to travel! Well, now it's done, seat booked and paid-for, visa sorted, now all I have to do is wait until the day when I can jet off to the sun! Consequently, today I have been very unsettled, tried hard to think of things to occupy my mind, but failed miserably, all I can think is – hurry up October!
I shall be landing at Melbourne and then promptly whisked off to the Dandenongs to the home of my brother and sister-in-law where I'll be staying, and then just two days later we'll be attending the wedding of my nephew and his bride; I guess I'll have to take a camera with me for that won't I?
I think the pelican in this photo makes a pleasant change from the ubiquitous herring gulls we get around our coasts here in Wales. The photo was taken at Williamstown looking across to the Melbourne skyline. As you know, I don't do birds so was quite pleased this little chap posed for me, in fact I think I have another dozen or so pictures of him! All the photos on my last trip were taken with a small pocket-sized camera, this time I'm taking the 5D and all the kit as well as the diminutive but powerful performer, the G12!!
One of the places I'm looking forward to revisiting is the William Ricketts Sanctuary, this time though, I hope the mosquitoes are not quite so active in their quest to bite as much out of me as they possible can! This really is an amazing place and only a short distance from where I'll be staying!

Walter E. Schirmer, Sr. was President of Clark Equipment, headquartered in Buchanan, starting in 1963. He was one of the four founders of the Michigan Gateway Community Foundation in 1978, where he established two permanent endowment funds, the Walter E. Schirmer Memorial Scholarship, and the Walter E. Schirmer Fund for the Buchanan Library. He had a deep love and concern for his community, rooted in very traditional values. He was devoted to serving Buchanan and he encouraged his Clark employees to do so as well.
His legacy was not lost on his son, Walt, Jr. Wally, as he was known, established his own fund in 1994 with the Michigan Gateway Community Foundation, through which many community organizations and projects have received support. In October of 2015, he discussed his estate plan with the Foundation from which, over the last months of his life, emerged the concept for a new and exciting idea called a promise scholarship.
Promise programs seek to transform communities by making a long term investment in education through place based scholarships. They work to expand access to and ensure success in higher education, deepen the college going culture in both the K-12 system and community as a whole, and support local community economic development.
Walter E. Schirmer, Jr enthusiastically endorsed this concept for the Buchanan community, his hometown. His permanently endowed gift to Michigan Gateway Community Foundation will have a significant positive impact on future generations in Buchanan, continuing the legacy established by his father years ago.For more information please visit the Buchanan Promise website. http://buchananpromise.com

"To understand something complex, ask a simple question."
~ Alan Duffy ~
An occupational hazard is a thing or situation with the potential to harm a worker. Occupational hazards can be divided into two categories: safety hazards that cause accidents that physically injure workers, and health hazards which result in the development of disease.
The Ontario law that governs employer responsibility, for workers handling chemicals is the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). OHSA also governs many hazards in the workplace such as working at heights and confined spaces. There are many regulations under the act but the major chemical handling regulations are shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Chemical Handling Regulations Under OHSA
In Addition, there are further OHSA regulations depending on the sector you are working in. Figure 2 shows the sectors with specific requirements under The Act.
Figure 2: Sectors with specific requirements under OHSA.
While most employers believe that WHMIS education and making personal protective equipment available to employees, are the only requirements under the Occupational Health & Safety Act (OHSA), these are just the beginning. Figure 1 shows all the steps required, when handling hazardous chemicals, to be compliant in the province of Ontario.
Figure 1: Rillea Technologies' Continuum for Chemical Handling Compliance
There are, in fact, a minimum of seven steps required to achieve compliance to OHSA, for chemical handling, in Ontario. Links to the specific parts of The Act for each of these requirements, are found below:
The best methods of controlling exposure to a particular hazard will depend on what it is. In general, methods of control can be placed in four categories:
Engineering controls are methods of designing or modifying plants, processes and equipment so as to minimize workers' exposure to the hazard. They are preferred because they work independently of workers.
Work and hygiene practices are on-the-job activities that reduce the potential for exposure.
Administrative controls are things like job rotation schedules, work-rest cycles and timing of maintenance procedures, which can be used to limit the amount of time an individual is exposed to a hazard.
Personal protective equipment includes items like respirators, hearing protectors, safety clothing and protective clothing. They can reduce a worker's exposure but must be used properly to be effective.
PPE should be provided to workers wherever there are health (or safety) risks that cannot be adequately controlled in other ways. PPE can reduce or prevent a worker's exposure to a health hazard in the workplace and can include respirators, hearing protectors, protective clothing, footwear and face and eye shields.
PPE is also required in specific situations and dealt with in regulations made under OHSA. For example:
Section 7.2(2) of the Regulation respecting the Control of Exposure to Biological or Chemical Agents requires respirators to be provided when engineering controls are not practical.
Employers are required by OHSA to take all reasonable precautions to protect the health and safety of workers.
WHMIS does not require that SDSs be obtained for consumer products. Consumer products are obtained by an individual to be used for non-commercial purposes (ie: items that can be purchased by the public at a retail store) and contain consumer product warning symbols not WHMIS symbols. As an employer you are still required to train employees on the safe handling, storage and use of these products. The easiest way to do this is the same way you train employees on hazardous products – with the information on an SDS.
You should also keep in mind that the duration and frequency of use (and therefore exposure) of these products in your workplace could be much greater than what the typical consumer would experience. A Window Cleaner would use "Windex" with much greater frequency than a consumer would in their home.
SDSs are not required for non-hazardous chemicals. However, an easy way to show a product is non-hazardous is to have an SDS for it.
No. But keep in mind what a "manufactured article" is. Part of the definition states that under normal conditions of use, it will not release or cause an individual to be exposed to a hazardous product; and when being installed, it will not release or cause an individual to be exposed to a hazardous product.
The following examples are commonly used items which are NOT manufactured articles.
- Welding rods are not manufactured articles because during use they release hazardous products previously contained in the rods.
- Sheets of friction materials that contain asbestos and which are manufactured with the intent of later being cut or shaped to form specific friction products are not manufactured articles.
No. Per section 38(5) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act in Ontario, electronic copies are sufficient as long as employees have access to the information at all times.
Many (M)SDSs provide only vague direction about how to protect myself in the workplace. For example, some (M)SDSs say "Wear appropriate gloves". How do I know what type of gloves are appropriate?
Suppliers often have no idea about how chemicals are to be used or the types of personal protective equipment (PPE) that may be available to employees. Perhaps employees will be mixing chemicals. Perhaps the chemicals are used in very small or large quantities. As a result, an employer must conduct a risk assessment to understand how the chemical is to be used and provide clear guidance to employees about the type of PPE required and where it can be found.
The onboarding process for SDS RiskAssist™ is made up of 8 steps. They are as follows:
- Custom website setup - Rillea can build a client's website in minutes, if necessary. However, the time to customize the website depends on the client. Rillea makes the process easy by providing an electronic form with all required information. This form takes about 15 minutes to complete and submit.
- Accurate Chemical Inventory - The most important task of the onboarding process is to start with an accurate chemical inventory. This can be accomplished using binders, if they have been kept up-to-date, procurement records from the last year to know what was purchased, or a chemical inventory. Rillea provides services to help with conducting chemical inventories at an additional charge.
- Acquire up-to-date SDSs - Using the accurate inventory, the client can acquire up-to-date SDSs from the internet or chemical suppliers. Rillea will complete these services for the client at an additional charge.
- Upload SDSs - Once up-to-date SDSs have been acquired, they can be uploaded by the client (at a rate of about 200/hr) or the electronic files can be shared via Dropbox for Rillea to upload at no extra charge.
- Auto-tag - if the client has purchased the option to auto-tag, Rillea personnel will work with them to develop auto-tag directives. Once this has been completed, all chemicals will be tagged with directives with a click of the mouse. Workers having access to SDS RiskAssist™ will be able to immediately obtain the 1-page summaries for safe chemical handling.
- Frequency of use - since risk of harm to workers depends on the severity of the hazard and frequency of use, Rillea recommends that the client populate the frequency of use (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) for each of the high-hazard chemicals. Once this information is entered, clients can filter on high frequency/high hazard chemicals to prioritize risk assessment activities.
- Define organization-specific tags or directives - schedule risk assessments and record resulting directives, if different from the auto-generated tags or directives in step 5. Clear directives are better for worker safety when using high-risk chemicals.
- Audit & review - Rillea recommends that the safety officer discuss the handling of chemicals with employees to ensure the directives can be followed. Adjust directives based on feedback for continuous improvement. Also ensure that SDSs are kept up-to-date by checking the supplier provided SDS against the version available in SDS RiskAssist™. If necessary, upload the new SDS, review any changes in the hazards, tag the chemical with directives and archive the older version.

Catherine and I have been together for nine months now and we have come to know each other pretty well. So well, in fact, that we are now almost inseparable: she's there in my head when I'm walking the dog, when I'm chopping vegetables for the kids' tea and even (see how intimate we are!) when I'm lying in the bath.
Fair enough, you might say. Good characterisation is premised on our ability to know our characters inside out. My problem, though, is that we are almost too close. I have begun to lose my ability to tell where my thoughts end and Catherine's begin.
The key to writing good fiction, we are told, is 'voice'. We have to develop our own individual style of expression, because that's what will make our work fresh and original and distinct. But our characters, we are warned, need voices of their own, too: also distinctive, also unique. For me, with this book, the two have begun to blur in my mind. My voice and Catherine's – which is which?
It ought to be easiest to tell us apart when I'm writing dialogue. If Catherine is speaking, using her own words, then that's her own voice, right? But even then it's probably 2 or 5 or 10% me. Across characters and across novels, it should still read like my writing, shouldn't it? Mr Darcy doesn't talk like Colonel Brandon, nor Emma Wodehouse like Anne Elliot, but in the speech patterns of all four we nevertheless recognise a unique Jane Austen style of dialogue.
Then there's the narrative – all that undifferentiated other stuff that's not in inverted commas. That should be in my voice, yes? Or should it? Because if I'm in Catherine's viewpoint, and seeing events with her eyes, shouldn't the narrative be partly her as well as partly me?
I think the percentage of each of our voices present in the mix varies across different parts of the narrative.
Sometimes I'm absolutely inside Catherine's head, and what I am saying about events is more less entirely in Catherine's own words, just as if it were external dialogue. (Some authors use italics or even tags – 'she thought', etc. – at such points, to indicate it's the character's own internal musings. But in 'free indirect style' which most of us now adopt, we don't need to bother, right?)
At other times, although I'm telling the story from Catherine's point of view, I'm more detached from her immediate thoughts, telling them from the outside. Here I use my own narrative voice far more, my own choice of words and patterns of construction more than hers.
Those are just the two extremes, however, and there is a whole muddled spectrum of shades in between, where the me-to-Catherine ratio swings to and fro, often with bits of me and bits of her thrown in cheek by jowl without any tidy separation. Small wonder if she and I suffer an occasional confusion of identities!
How about this little exchange, as an example? Catherine is talking to her ex-husband, Graeme, who has just split up with his second wife, Suzannah.
Catherine laid her hand on top of his, where it still rested on her arm. 'And how about you? How are you doing?'
Without Suzannah. She genuinely wanted to know, and she knew he knew it.
'Not too bad. I guess we both saw it coming, but it didn't make it any easier.'
Is this what remained, eight years after a marriage? A residual loyal watchfulness; a fearfulness for each other's hurts.
Some snippets of the commentary which frames the conversation are 95% Catherine. 'Without Suzannah', for example. Or the two sentences beginning 'Is this what remained…?' Those are her reflections, not mine.
But when I say 'Catherine laid her hand on top of his', that's pretty well 100% me. Similarly, 'She genuinely wanted to know' – although it's still from her viewpoint in that I am giving the reader access to her thoughts – is probably 80% me, because those are my words. She wants to know, but she isn't thinking with her conscious mind, 'Ooo, I genuinely want to know.'
Whereas that phrase 'she knew he knew it' is, I'd say, close to 50:50. On one level it's me saying to the reader that he knew she knew, but it's also a characteristically Catherine-like phrase – and actually, because we're in her viewpoint, I'm also indirectly letting the reader know that Catherine knows that he knows she knows…
Confused yet? I thought so. And if you're confused about what's what and who's who, then you are coming somewhere close to understanding my chronic identity crisis!

Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission is a card-based fighting game and a port of the arcade game Dragon Ball Heroes for Nintendo 3DS. It will be released in Japan on February 28th, 2013.
The game contains over 200 characters spread across more than 800 cards. It includes complete card lists from the first set through Galaxy Mission 4 (Red Ribbon Androids, Galaxy Soldiers, Majin Buu, Planet Trade Organization, Lord Slug's clan, Super Buu, Broly, Tapion, Dragon Ball GT characters, Baby Saga characters, Fusion Reborn characters, and Turles Crusher Corps.). The game also features an exclusive opening animation, a mission-based story mode, wireless support to duel with each other or trade cards, and connectivity with the Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game. First-run releases of the game come with a bonus set of cards for the actual arcade game: a Super Saiyan Goku card, a Super Saiyan Future Trunks card, a Super Saiyan Future Gohan card, a Super Saiyan Vegeta, a Hero Avatar card, and a Trial Hero License.
In the Ultimate Mission animation, the Hero is in the real world in front of an arcade game, and he is teleported into the Dragon Ball Heroes universe. There, he meets the Saiyan Heroine and then, Cell and Majin Buu appears. While the Heroine fights with Majin Buu, the Majin Hero and the Namekian Hero take on Cell until Legendary Super Saiyan Broly appears and attacks them. The Saiyan Heroine and the Saiyan Hero take on Broly, but Broly quickly knocks them to the ground. Goku appears and save the kids from Broly's Eraser Cannon. Then, the three heroes turn Super Saiyan and charge Kamehameha waves to struggle with Broly's energy wave.
The game recreates the interface of the Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game via the touch panel. The player assembles a deck of five cards for battles. As the player uses the touch stylus to create a card formation on the bottom screen, the battle unfolds on the top screen. Actions, such as the Charge Impact, are done so that the player can intuitively do them with their hands on the portable device. In the story mode, the player moves around what is called the Ultimate Map and experiences the story from the Saiyan Saga up through Dragon Ball GT, with the most famous scenes from the series recreated for the game. By completing missions, more cards are obtained in the game.
A Dragon Ball game for Nintendo 3DS was first announced at the 2010 E3 by Namco Bandai, saying "Dragon Ball kicks into 3D with all new features and gameplay designed for the Nintendo 3DS hardware.In April 2012, the Namco Bandai website began listing an entry for a Dragon Ball series game on the 3DS.In August 2012, it was revealed that the October 2012 issue of V-Jump andWeekly Shōnen Jump were announcing that Bandai Games was porting its 2010 Dragon Ball Heroes arcade card battle game to the Nintendo 3DS.

True to its popular pace setter appellation; 'Ajise bi Oyo Laa ri, Oyo kii se bi baba eni kankan'. The unthinkable happened in the ancient city of Ibadan today, Sunday August 19, 2018 when the state government demolished Yinka Ayefele's N800m Music House.
The demolition exercise, World Street Journal reports came in defiance of a court case on the propriety or otherwise of government's demolition notice.
The Abiola Ajimobi government had, last week, issued a demolition notice to the physically challenged musician on account of building the structure too close to the Challenge-Ring road expressway.
Ayefele's spokesperson, David Ajiboye had described the demolition threat as politically motivated.
WSJ reliably gathered that the demolition exercise commenced at about 5:30 Sunday morning.

By Burnley FC
June 12 2019
Following their FA Cup exit, the Clarets were back in Manchester for the second time in four days at the end of January and this time left with a big result.
It could have been even better as a 2-0 lead with just minutes to go put Sean Dyche's men within touching distance of becoming the first Burnley team to win at Old Trafford since 1962.
A Paul Pogba penalty and an injury-time strike from the unlikely figure of Victor Lindelof ruined that dream.
But the Clarets became the first to deny Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a victory since he became Manchester United's acting boss and prevented the former United striker from becoming the first manager to start a Premier League reign with seven successive wins.
More importantly, goals from the in-form strike duo Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood in an action-packed second half backed up a superb team performance to extend the Clarets' unbeaten run to five games with a third successive draw at the home of the record 20-time league champions.
And it wasn't over yet, with an injury-time penalty from Ashley Barnes earning another vital point at home to Southampton from a 1-1 draw laced with controversy.
Barnes was floored by Saints' goalkeeper Alex McCarthy in the first half but didn't get a spot-kick, only a yellow card for over-doing his protestations.

The Rebels have added former Wallabies hooker Nathan Charles to their playing ranks, a timely midseason boost.
Charles joins from English club Bath, having starred for the Force en route to 86 Super Rugby caps and four caps for the Wallabies.
His arrival in Melbourne is particularly timely as Jordan Uelese is struggling with an arm complaint and Sama Malolo has been released so he can feature for the Junior Wallabies, who are in the midst of an Oceania U20s campaign.He will push Anaru Rangi for the starting hooker gig while Uelese recovers and Rebels general manager of rugby Nick Ryan said he was expecting big things from the 29-year-old.
"We are fortunate to add an experienced player like Nathan to our squad mid-season and we look forward to him adding depth and competition in our hooking ranks," Ryan said.
"We have identified our set piece work as an area of improvement.
"We see Nathan being a great acquisition in support of Anaru (Rangi), and in the absence of Jordan and Sama."
The Rebels host the Crusaders on Friday night at AAMI Park, kicking off at 7:45pm AEST, broadcast LIVE on FOX SPORTS and RUGBY.com.au radio.

A Hammer toes can be flexible or rigid. Hammertoes often start out flexible and become rigid over time as your toe becomes accustomed to its crooked position. Flexible hammertoes are less serious than rigid hammertoes, as they can be easily diagnosed and treated in their initial stages. Flexible hammertoes are named as such because your affected toe still possesses some degree of movement.
It is possible to be born with a hammer toe, however many people develop the deformity later in life. Common causes include tightened tendons that cause the toe to curl downward. Nerve injuries or problems with the spinal cord. Stubbing, jamming or breaking a toe. Having a stroke. Being a diabetic. Having a second toe that is longer than the big toe. Wearing high heels or tight shoes that crowd the toes and don?t allow them to lie flat. Aging.
The symptoms of a hammer toe include the following. Pain at the top of the bent toe upon pressure from footwear. Formation of corns on the top of the joint. Redness and swelling at the joint contracture. Restricted or painful motion of the toe joint. Pain in the ball of the foot at the base of the affected toe.
Most health care professionals can diagnose hammertoe simply by examining your toes and feet. X-rays of the feet are not needed to diagnose hammertoe, but they may be useful to look for signs of some types of arthritis (such as rheumatoid arthritis) or other disorders that can cause hammertoe. If the deformed toe is very painful, your doctor may recommend that you have a fluid sample withdrawn from the joint with a needle so the fluid can be checked for signs of infection or gout (arthritis from crystal deposits).
Non Surgical Treatment
Treatment options for a hammertoe are based on the severity of the condition. A hammertoe caused by inappropriate footwear can be corrected by wearing properly fitting shoes. If a high arch caused the condition, wearing toe pads or insoles in your shoes can help.

Surgical Treatment
If a person's toes have become very inflexible and unresponsive to non-invasive means of treatment and if open sores have developed as a result of constant friction, they may receive orthopaedic surgery to correct the deformity. The operation is quick and is commonly performed as an out-patient procedure. The doctor administers a local anesthetic into the person's foot to numb the site of the operation. The person may remain conscious as the surgeon performs the procedure. A sedative might also be administered to help calm the person if they are too anxious.
These tips may help you buy the right shoes. Buy shoes at the end of the day. Your feet are smaller in the morning and swell throughout the day. Don't assume your shoe size hasn't changed. As you age, your shoe size may change, especially the width. Measure both feet and buy for the larger foot. Ask for just the right fit. A shoe repair store can stretch shoes in tight spots.

Good news/bad news.
The good: I've spent the winter slowly trying to fix engine oil leaks. New sump gaskets and goop, better sealing of oil tank fittings, etc. Started it up today, and it appears that I have fixed most of the oil leaks. There's one area that might still be leaking, but I'm not sure yet. And time may change things. But first experience is it's drier than it used to be. Yay.
The bad: I now have a gas leak. WTF?! I have a braided stainless line that runs from the fuel pump in the rear all the way to the carbs. It's dry at both ends, so somehow it is leaking along its length, in the vicinity of the shifter - the only place where I can't see the line, of course. Seems very odd to me that a braided line like this has sprung a leak, but it is leaking. Didn't leak with the fuel pump running before I started the engine; only leaked when I ran the engine.
So, I need to replace the fuel line. Seems as if I'll have to remove the driveshaft to get access? I assume I have to remove the differential to do that? I don't have to pull the engine, do I? Or is there access from the cockpit?
Car is a 97 Caterham, standard size, T-9 transmission, BDA engine with Dellorto carbs, Facet fuel pump.
Please share any words of wisdom re how to go about fixing this. What a PIA.
Now on to the bourbon.

A shot at a cervical cancer free life
Bloemfontein – Even though the little girl's hands were trembling at the thought of having an injection in her arm, little Nolubabalo Palesa Qhautse put on a brave face when it was her turn to get vaccinated against Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).
But her mother, Dimakatso Qhautse, stood vigil as Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi administered the HPV vaccine.
Nolubalalo, aged 9, was among the Grade 4 learners from Gonyane Primary School in Mangaung, who received their first dose of the HPV vaccine from the minister.
She told SAnews that she only knew that the vaccine was going to protect her against cervical cancer, as she was told by her mother.
"She didn't tell me in detail what cervical cancer is, but she promised me that the vaccine is going to protect me. The injection was and is still painful. I almost cried but I myself held back because there were so many people watching us," she said.
Qhautse, who came to the school to witness the launch of the HPV vaccine campaign said, she was relieved that her daughter would be protected from the virus, which she said almost killed her mother.
"My mother had cervical cancer and her womb had to be removed. Fortunately, she survived. When I heard about the campaign launch, I didn't hesitate and signed the consent form from the school immediately. Thanks to government, our children will not experience what most women go through due to the virus," said Qhautse.
HPV campaign begins in earnest
Today, South Africa took a major step in the safeguarding of women's health as Minister Motsoaledi rolled out the first HPV vaccine campaign, which will protect young girls from getting cervical cancer caused by the HP-virus.
The campaign will see all girls in Grade four, who are nine years and older, being vaccinated during March and April. After six months, the same girls will receive the second dose of the vaccine.
The national vaccination campaign was announced by Minister Motsoaledi in 2013 during his Budget Speech. An estimated number of 500 000 girls in 17 000 schools will be vaccinated.
During his address, a proud Minister Motsoaledi said the country was making history and the day marked the beginning of the effective prevention of cervical cancer. He said although the vaccine is a bit pricey -- as each dose costs between R700 and R1000 in the private sector -- he was determined to get the vaccine for the people.
"Today, South Africa is one of the few countries on the continent to provide this vaccine to all Grade 4 learners. On this continent, we are the first to vaccinate as many as half a million girls. The one country which provides this vaccine is Zambia and it only gives 25 000 vaccines. It's a serious disease affecting women in the world," Dr Motsoaledi said.
Saving lives
He also noted that 6 000 women get cervical cancer every year. About 80% are African women. Between 3 000 and 3 500 will die annually, even after treatment.
"Half of them are between ages 35 and 55 years," he said, urging women to get screened for cervical cancer.
The minister also thanked parents for agreeing to vaccinate their children and assured them that health policies were based on best evidence, including the department's own experts' committee, which advises the department.
He said that although girls from the higher grades have missed out on the vaccination, the department would make sure that every learner from Grade R will get the vaccine when they reach Grade 4 to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer in the near future.
Treasury has allocated R400 million for the campaign.
Executive Director at Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Institute, Professor Helen Rees, said the vaccination of girls at a young age would lower infection rates, and would also reduce infection in boys.
"... If we can get the coverage in young girls up high enough, there's a benefit for young boys because as you decrease the infection [in girls], there will be less infection in boys," said Rees.
First Lady Thobeka Madiba-Zuma, who also witnessed the roll out of the vaccine, commended government for the intervention, noting that many women died painful deaths due to breast and cervical cancers.
"For us, as African First Ladies, this is a dream come true. South Africa today is witnessing a huge milestone, a step towards the right direction, which is prevention is better than cure.
"We know what needs to be done. If not us, then who? If not now, then when? What are we waiting for? Women have to play a meaningful role in the economy of our country. Their health should be at the centre of the agenda," said Madiba-Zuma.
She also pledged her full support to the programme, adding that through this campaign, South Africa was investing in the future of women and girl children.
Mangaung mayor T Manyoni welcomed the campaign. He further thanked President Jacob Zuma for his declaration that young girls will be vaccinated this year.
"I think we need to celebrate this moment. It's a cause for celebration..." Mayor Manyoni said, adding that HPV was never given priority in the past.
Free State Basic Education MEC Tate Pule Makgoe said he was pleased that the programme was launched in his province. He also thanked President Zuma for making health and education a priority. "We support the programme because a world without health is useless."
Prior to the launch, the school governing bodies were contacted and parents were given consent forms to sign for their children to be vaccinated. About 3 000 health workers have been trained to administer the vaccine. – SAnews.gov.za
