Title: Take the Fall
Author: Emily Hainsworth
Rating: ★★★
Synopsis: Fear grips the residents of Hidden Falls the night Sonia Feldman and her best friend, Gretchen Meyer, are attacked in the woods. Sonia was lucky to escape with her life, but Gretchen's body is discovered at the bottom of a waterfall. Beautiful, popular, and seemingly untouchable, Gretchen can't be gone. Even as Sonia struggles with guilt and confusion over having survived, the whole town is looking to her for information…could she have seen something that will lead the police to the killer?
At the top of the list of suspects is Gretchen's ex-boyfriend—and Sonia's longtime enemy—Marcus Perez. So when Marcus comes to Sonia for help clearing his name, she agrees, hoping to find evidence the police need to prove he's the killer. But as Gretchen's many secrets emerge and the suspects add up, Sonia feels less sure of Marcus's involvement, and more afraid for herself. Could Marcus, the artist, the screwup, the boy she might be falling for have attacked her? Killed her best friend? And if it wasn't him in the woods that night…who could it have been?
Huge thank you to Harper Collins for sending me a copy for review!
River's Review:
When I started this book I could not put it down and I blew through the first 100 or so pages. It was so fast paces and everything was just clicking along I was really excited to see where this was going. Sonia was a great MC, there was a really nice mix of characters, and I liked the small town feeling. I was super invested in WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
And then things kinda slowed down. There were a few moments of AHA murder mystery, but a lot of it was just dealing with the loss of Gretchen and slowly figuring out that she wasn't THAT great of a person (friend, sister, girl friend) after all. And this whole time I was fighting with myself over if Sonia was a reliable narrator or not. And I was pretty set on the idea that she was and that this was going to have some crazy twist and that we'd NEVER see WHO DUN IT coming and… I guessed it and I was right and I bumped it down to a 3 star rating because those kinds of twists are the lamest. And I don't buy it. And just ugh.

Nearly two months after the Vancouver Canucks loaned forward Sam Gagner to the AHL's Toronto Marlies, the 770 game NHL veteran is heading back to the west coast after being recalled by the big club this afternoon.
The Canucks inked Gagner to a three-year $9,450,000 contract ($3,150,000 AAV) ahead of the 2017-2018 season.
Gagner, 29, suited up for 15 games with the Marlies this season. The London, ONT., native recorded 15 points (7G, 8A) through that span. Four of Gagner's seven goals came on the man-advantage.
Despite being third in the Pacific division, the Canucks only average 3.00 goals per game (T-18th)

The parents are supposed to assemble the arrow as a way to participate in the Award, because presumably they helped their son achieve it. As the ceremony goes, yes ~ the CM (or whomever) does explain what each colored stripe means. Each boy's arrow will be different, since not every boy WAS a Tiger, or he might or might not have earned silver AP's while a Wolf. They're a visual "record", I guess you could say, of the Scout's Cub career.
BasementD; It may depend on the kid, and when they start in Cubs. My son started as a Tiger, so he's got a remption of Beltloops over 3 years! If our Den plans go right, he's going to earn 3 more BLs before the season is out. I'll have Web1's next season; we'll work on our Web Badge, and they'll rack up some more Beltloops, undoubtedly. And that's fine, since it's *bling*, and they like them. They'll wear them all season. Now, when my son/pals go into Web2, I'm not sure we'll bother a lot with BLs. My main objective will be to lead them through their AOL, hopefully to Bridge by B&G. I agree that BLs at that point would be dumb. HOWEVER, last year I had 2 boys who joined Cubs AS *5th* graders. They didn't have a lot of parent involvement, and while the DL did her best with them, it was all they could do to finish their Web Badge by the end of the school year. In THEIR case, we awarded every BL we could, so that they'd stay motivated and be recognized at Pack meetings along with the younger Cubbies. It worked for them.
It *DOES* work! :0) For a few months, when we were in transition from my son's Tiger to Wolf year, we ALL met weekly for Den meetings in the church hall for an opening, then broke into Dens. Webs in that corner, Tigers over there, etc... It worked fine.
Awesome! Thanks for that! And I really like the idea of a "career arrow" for a Cub who doesn't happen to do AOL. Good stuff!
Another zombie! But I'm about to present an AOL on the 30th, but I can't find kits with less than 4 in them. This boy only joined as a 5th grader, so he doesn't have the Tiger, etc ... stripes going on there. Could I just construct a "kit" myself? ALSO! The deposed CC got AOL plaques made of wood, that look like the sunburst. I can't find where she got those (and we're not exactly on speaking terms!) Any ideas?
I think it's a matter of semantics about "re-earned". Sure, sure. They need to actually ~DO~ the Beltloop *requirements* again (because again, what my son did for any BL as a Tiger will be very much different when he's a 4th grader). But I wouldn't bother to BUY him a SECOND BL that he already had. Just DO the stuff for the BL as instructed, and then *keep going* with the additional stuff that the Pin requires. No one needs TWO BL's for any activity, if you ask me. RE-EARN, ~yes~. Re-receive? No. IMHO.
By the by...I really like all the examples of what a neckerchief is good for! I'm seriously thinking of how to work than into a Den or Pack presentation kind of thing.
My son started in Tigers, but when he moved to Wolf, we did a lot of stuff jointly with the Bears, and now this year as Bears, we team up with our Wolves, still. I know the books are different, but Wolves and Bears are a lot closer than any other 2 ranks. (You'll notice on the Charter roster that they lump 2nd and 3rd grade together just as "Cub Scouts".) Have him attend the Bear Den, if necessary, but ~someone~ needs to work with him in HIS book. And Keep Recruiting whenever possible. Go online to Vistaprint and get you some freebie business cards printed up, and give them out to every little boy you see (well, you know...not in a stalkerish way). Take flyers to the school EVERY month, printed with your upcoming activities, and ask that they put them in the boys' backpacks. You can target 2nd graders if there's a limited copy budget, or make enough for ALL the boys. (Can you tell I'm thinking of our own Pack's recruiting?) :0) Meanwhile, put the Wolf in the Bear Den, but he's still a Wolf.
The SM said something about this to me when the Camp Cards rolled out. "Oh! Your son can go to Web camp." Uh...maybe he *can*, but he's not going to. And maybe some boys would be ready to, but my kid is young for his grade, and half his pals are still in Wolves (well, new Bears, now). He's going to Day Camp this year; then next summer, between 4th and 5th, he can go to Web Camp.
Personally? I would have my boys put on their Rank Badge (of course!) but not wear the next Rank's necker until the end of the school year. But that's just me. With regard to the Beltloops for Webs, I understand the confusion. My kid already HAS a herd of BL's. However, several of those he earned as a Tiger. If he has to go through the BL requirements ON THE WAY TO earning the Pin for Webs, I'm okay with that. As someone pointed out upthread, what I might have required for Tigers to earn the "Communication" BL will be vastly different from what I might require of a 4th grade Web for the same BL. It surely won't hurt to go over that stuff again. It'll be a new Den, new Scout year, new Handbook, new Uniform. So I'd say bling him up now with whatever he's earned, then just spend the small amount of time it will take to bang through the BL requirements on the way to the Pins, as he works on his Web Badge.
Our boys wear their Class As to Pack meetings, and they all have neckerchiefs. Most of the time we wear Pack t-shirts, and I've always said the neckerchiefs were optional, but the guys all have them!
DARNED TABLET!! Anyway, I also asked if anyone had any fun ideas to add to the calendar, and they did. I think the Committee was glad enough to have the "work" done for them; they just made changes that seeemed appropriate, and gave approval. That was before our Pack's "unfortunate period", but for the most part, the calendar of events stood. So I'm in the process now of tweaking the 2012-13 calendar the same way. Added skating. Dropped District PWD (but it'll be offered). Extra camp-out. More swimming parties. Kept fishing and bowling. Etc... I'll present it at the Committee meeting this month, and tell them they can do whatever they want with it. In Aug I'll probably start on the 2013-14 one. :0)
Because we're a small Pack, as CM, around this time last year, I penciled in the next 12 months with a similar seasonal set as we'd done the year before. They loved the fishing at the local PFA, so I made sure to include it. They didn't care much for District PWD, so I put a "?" next to that. I added in what I thought they'd like (LOVED bowling, and asked me that night if we could go skating. Yes!). I made a suggestion for the date for our Dec Pack meeting, to not get too close to the hectic days of Christmas, and put "tentative" Committee meeting dates (generally 10 days before Pack meetings). Note I say "suggested". I took this to the April or May Committee meeting, and asked 1) if my suggestions for activities met w their approval, 2) if they saw any conflicts ("isn't that Homecoming? We can't do it that day."), and 3) if they s(This message has been edited by annlaurelb)
Pack Fishing Derby
AnnLaurelB replied to SeattlePioneer's topic in Cub ScoutsDitto. There's a public fishing area closeby us, and they do Kids Fish Day at least twice a year. I made pals with the Ranger after the 2nd time we went, and now he emails me when the next event gets added to their calendar. It's nice because they have poles out their for kids who don't have them, and a Ranger has untangled my son's line or dug a hook out of a catfish's mouth for me many (many) times.
How long should one serve as Cubmaster?
AnnLaurelB replied to Jeffrey H's topic in Cub ScoutsI was asked this the other day; a Bear parent asked me where I saw myself in 2 years, and the gist of it was that she hoped I would move up to the Troop with our sons. But SP329 said what I was thinking - that I couldn't leave right in the middle of the Cub Scout year when my son bridges. I'd stay on as CM for at least the rest of that season. If someone was chomping at the bit to take over, then those few months could be used to train them. On the other hand, if no one wanted it, and I was still having fun, I could see staying on, for the sake of that continuity. The SM of our Troop doesn't have any sons still in; his second Eagle son aged out 2 years ago. But he still feels the Troop needs him...although he has hinted that at some point he'll need to retire. I'm flattered that the Bear parent hopes I become a Troop Scouter, and I'd certainly be willing to help in any way I could, but I don't see myself as SM just because my kid moves up. After all, I *am* a GIRL, and what teenage boy wants somebody's mother on their campouts? No, I'd be willing to be on the Troop Committee, or be a badge counselor or do their publications/communications, but for pure fun (and the booger jokes), I may hang around with the little guys for a while.

Further description:-
Recycling/Reuse in this chapter covers the treatment or processing of materials which are directly or indirectly involved in remediation techniques to treat (in a wider sense) contaminants.
Recycling/Reuse in this chapter is dealing with aspects of the treatment or the processing of materials which are directly or indirectly involved in remediation techniques. It is focused on reactive materials.
During the remediation measures hazardous substances might be accumulated within medias which are an integrative part of treatment as a reactive or within technical elements.
Examples for this are:
1. reactive medias whenever they are exchangeable
2. reactive medias, accumulators or filter materials within treatment facilities
The life cycle of such medias mostly is limited in time and intake capacity.
The main questions are:
• How to eliminate these accumulated contaminants from the reactive medias or from the technical elements?
• What are the conditions for reuse of recycled medias ( regarding capacity and operating lifetime)?
• Cost comparison between disposal and treatment/reuse of such materials
• It is feasible to recycle these medias/materials from the technical as well as from the economic point of view ?
• Are there substitutes which will reach a better performance regarding intake and recycling?
It is essential how to monitor the accumulation with contaminants and how to proceed the removal und exchange of this medias as well as the recycling process for reuse.
These materials should be selected and applied after a case specific investigation. In practice a trial investigation can help to optimise the effectiveness and capacity for such medias with could be materials, substances or mixtures. May be other alternatives are also practicable with lower costs or prices for recycling.
In permeable reactive barriers as well as in several in-situ remediation techniques the selection of reactive materials is one of the key questions. This decision will have an significant influence to functionality, time scale, costs and environmental sustainability.
The selection of the reactive media is based on the following criteria (Gavaskar et al. 1997):
• Reactivity. The reactivity of the material is quantitatively evaluated by the required residence time or the reaction rate constant. It is desirable to have low residence times and high reaction rates in order to keep the barrier's thickness within acceptable limits.
• Stability. The material is expected to remain active for long periods of time because its replacement is not easily achieved. Stability in changes of pH, temperature, pressure and antagonistic factors is also required.
• Availability and cost. The amount of reactive material required for the construction of a reactive barrier is large enough and therefore it is essential to have considerable quantities in low prices.
• Hydraulic performance. The hydraulic conductivity of the material depends on its particle size distribution and its value must be greater or equal to the value of the surrounding soil. However, an optimum particle size that would provide appropriate permeability and sufficient contact time must be determined.
• Environmental compatibility. It is important that the reactive media does not form any by products when reacting with the contaminants and that it is not a source of contamination itself by solubilisation or other mobilization mechanisms.
• Safety. Handling of the material should not generate any risks for the workers health.
In accordance with research results and practical experiences the following table gives an overview what kind of reactive/media is appropriate for which kind of contaminants.

The long-term efficiency of a PRB is a matter of great concern especially when the contaminants are persistent for several decades. The concentration of inorganic constituents like Ca, Mg, and Na determines the formation and deposition of inorganic precipitates on the surface of the reactive medium thus inducing its performance. A change in the hydraulic conductivity of the barrier due to clogging of the iron surface can alter the flow of the plume, which either dips further down the aquifer or passes around the barrier.
Activated carbon is characterized through a high porosity and the associated high specific internal surface of up to 2000 m2/g. A multiplicity of macro -, meso- and micropores makes possible the material transfer by the extensive cavity system for the activated carbon, and within the crystal lattice structure changed by the production process the actual adsorption processes take place at so-called active centers (= lattice defects). In these lattice defects the activated carbon is chemically not saturated. This is the cause for a particularly high reactivity and thus the ability to bind certain materials/contaminants. For the adsorption effect of volatile pollutants from soil air is mainly the physical adsorption of importance. The material transfer with adsorption processes consists of a diffusion and the actual adsorption. In the gaseous phase due to the high mobility of the molecules for the adsorption a time of contact of approx.. 0,1- 2.0 seconds is sufficient. In the liquid phase a time of contact of approx.. 1- 3 min is needed to bind the molecules to the activated carbon. For this reason smaller adsorbent units can be used than with the adsorption made of groundwater for the adsorption from soil air. Both with soil air and with groundwater the load capacity of the activated carbon rises with rising of pollutant concentration. For the comparative evaluation of activated carbon the following manufacturer data are suitable:
adsorption isotherm,
water content when packaging,
- porosity and gap volume,
- ash content,
- specific internal surface,
- granulation (sieve analysis),
- apparent weight,
- hardness (e.g. ball mill test),
- flow resistance,
- acid resistance.
The load capacity of the selected adsorbent depends also considerably on the humidity content of soil air. Those pollutants which can be adsorbed compete within the contact with the activated carbon with oxygen and hydrogen atoms around the free charge places at the lattice defects. Due to the polarity of the oxidic surfaces of the activated carbon in landfill gas atmosphere strengthens water vapour adsorbed, whereby the purposeful admission of other steams or gases with according to contained pollutants is obstructed.
In Europe a recycling of PRB reactive medias in practice does not exist. There are any open questions which needs a solution in advance:
• How to dismantle the medias out of existing PRB (construction works, geotechnical problems etc.)
• Are they any kind of In situ recycling methods feasible?
• How long a reactive media will be effective (long term experiences in most cases are still missing)?
In general contaminants will be bound to the reactive medias. This means that the concentration particular on this reactive medias would increase. The common practice is to dump such materials on waste disposal sites.
For activated carbons recycling processes are in common use. But the recycling ratio is definitely lower as for disposal. This is also true for reactive materials within remediation installations as well as for filters.
At the end of pipe the contaminant will not to blow over. New solutions regarding recycling of such materials should consider the life cycle assessment as well. This will generate technical and economic criteria for future developments.

my sons cat pees on all of the babys things its a female young cat she is off limits upstairs ..what will help so shes not peeing on eveything she peed before baby when there was another cat now there is not..would a diaper be good for upstairs only
Unfortunately, there are a number of cats that show their displeasure with a situation by urinating. Tom cats often spray not just to mark territory, but also to show a dislike.
Our cat, Max, was notorious for this when he was younger. We ended up using Invisible Fence which is an electronic device. A collar was placed on Max with a receiver and when he got close to the unit on the stairs, it gave him a jolt of electricity and he would run from the stairs. Within a few weeks he avoided the stairs.
This worked for months at a time and when he got brave and ventured back up the stairs, the collar was placed on him again. Eventually, he avoided the stairs like the plague. He hasn't tried going up the stairs for many years now.
I know that was a drastic step to take but his spraying caused damage to carpets, etc.
However, in your case, you could probably try diapers. Cat diapers are used for aging cats and cats that have other challenges. For more information on cat diapers...the link follows:

Engineer Rashid say "Maan ki Baat" of Modi
Sitting Langate lawmaker Er Rasheed has termed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President Amit Shah's remarks about the "Autonomy of Jammu and Kashmir" as "unfortunate".
In a statement issued here on Monday afternoon, Rasheed said that Prime Minister's response to P Chidambaram shows that Congress and BJP are just using Kashmir issue for their vote bank politics and are least bothered about resolving the 70 year long dispute.
"When Prime Minister said that resolution lies in embracing Kashmiris, a certain section in Kashmir had started believing that Modi has some out of box solution to offer but now even rejecting the idea of Autonomy is disappointing and disturbing for all those who were expecting BJP to chose a different line than congress."

Tarzan must act quickly or his prey would be gone; but Tarzan's life training left so little space between decision and action when an emergency confronted him that there was not even room for the shadow of a thought between.
Kerchak was dead.Withdrawing the knife that had so often rendered him master of far mightier muscles than his own, Tarzan of the Apes placed his foot upon the neck of his vanquished enemy, and once again, loud through the forest rang the fierce, wild cry of the conqueror.And thus came the young Lord Greystoke into the kingship of the Apes.Edgar Rice Burroughs
Tarzan of the Apes.Edgar Rice Burroughs
The story of his own connection with the cabin had never been told him. The language of the apes had so few words that they could talk but little of what they had seen in the cabin, having no words to accurately describe either the strange people or their belongings, and so, long before Tarzan was old enough to understand, the subject had been forgotten by the tribe.Only in a dim, vague way had Kala explained to him that his father had been a strange white ape, but he did not know that Kala was not his own mother.Edgar Rice Burroughs
Had Kala lived, Tarzan would have sacrificed all else to remain near her, but now that she was dead, and the playful friends of his childhood grown into fierce and surly brutes he felt that he much preferred the peace and solitude of his cabin to the irksome duties of leadership amongst a horde of wild beasts.Edgar Rice Burroughs
Had there been no other personal attribute to influence the final outcome, Tarzan of the Apes, the young Lord Greystoke, would have died as he had lived — an unknown savage beast in equatorial Africa. But there was that which had raised him far above his fellows of the jungle — that little spark which spells the whole vast difference between man and brute — Reason. This it was which saved him from death beneath the iron muscles and tearing fangs of Terkoz.Edgar Rice Burroughs
Tarzan let him up, and in a few minutes all were back at their vocations, as though naught had occurred to mar the tranquility of their primeval forest haunts.But deep in the minds of the apes was rooted the conviction that Tarzan was a mighty fighter and a strange creature. Strange because he had had it in his power to kill his enemy, but had allowed him to live — unharmed.Edgar Rice Burroughs
Two keen eyes had watched every move of the party from the foliage of a nearby tree. Tarzan had seen the surprise caused by his notice, and while he could understand nothing of the spoken language of these strange people their gestures and facial expressions told him much.Edgar Rice Burroughs
We trained like Tarzan all week, then played like Jane.
Tarzan held a peculiar position in the tribe. They seemed to consider him one of them and yet in some way different. The older males either ignored him entirely or else hated him so vindictively that but for his wondrous agility and speed and the fierce protection of the huge Kala he would have been dispatched at an early age.Edgar Rice Burroughs

Aquafina Bottle Water Comes From Tap
Aquafina Bottled Water Comes From Tap
Cities like New York and San Francisco already urge residents to drink tap water, and chances are the people living there may already be doing just that — even if they are buying bottled water. Although you might have already suspected it, Aquafina bottled water is sourced from public reservoirs — the same reservoirs that your kitchen tap water comes from. Aquafina is not alone; Coca-Cola's Dasani water is also sourced from public reservoirs. In an effort to be more transparent, since 2007, Aquafina has labeled all of its bottles to read that its water supply comes from a "public water source."
Despite its transparency, Aquafina has come under scrutiny for this practice, with many citing that Aquafina's bottled water is not better than drinking out of the bathroom tap. But according to a spokesperson for Pepsi Co. (Aquafina's parent company), all tap water is not created equal. In an email to Inverse, he argues that Aquafina is getting an unfair rap:
"As stated on the label, Aquafina is purified water," the spokesperson, who asked not to be named, writes. "It originates from public water sources and is then purified through a rigorous, seven-step purification process called Hydro-7™. That is not the "same water you get in your bathroom sink. Hydro-7 is a state-of the-art process that includes reverse osmosis and other filtering methods. It removes things like chlorides, salts and other substances that can affect a water's taste. That's how we can ensure that you'll get a clean, pure taste every time you open a bottle of Aquafina."
The Hydro-7 filtration process is explained in detail on the Aquafina website, but given the lack of regulation or studies happening the bottled water industry, it's hard to know just how much is filtered in this seven-step process. Purity aside, critics of the bottled water industry argue that all those bottles add plastic to landfills and require a lot of energy to produce and ship, which is much more harmful than just bottling from the tap.

As part of their work in child protection. Hurras Network is conducting regular awareness campaigns for children. Hurras Network launched "Every Day I'm Dreaming" campaign. The campaign aimed to raise awareness about the child's rights in general. Such the right to get a name and nationality, the right to get a proper education, and decent living. Also, because education is not only a human right it is a basic tool to achieve community development. The organization launched "Return to School" campaign. Targeted the students in conflict zones. The campaign aimed to return children to their normal life and safe environment and the ability to have a better future. Besides mobilizing governments and local societies and donors and partner organizations to establish permanent places for education or children friendly spaces. The purpose of these spaces is to achieve the psychological and social luxury for the children.
"Our campaigns aim to all the children to know their rights in international laws. Due to its role in their development and supporting them and achieve the psychological and social luxury". Said Layla Haso Psychological support department officer at Hurras Network. She added "We use in our campaigns drawings and beautiful colors in a way the child interact with it in a better way and get the pleasure and the benefit. Therefore Hurras network focus during the crisis on rebuilding educational places. Besides and returning the children to the schools fast. And at the same time, we work on rebuilding the educational systems and hire qualified teachers and develop their abilities in dealing with hard psychological circumstances that the children are facing".
In addition to these campaigns, the organization launched "bombs and unexploded mines" awareness campaign. Aimed to aware the children and the parents about the danger of unexploded land mines bombs from war waste. The organization worked to achieve that through educational, awareness, training, and social communication.
The Hurras Network founded in 2012 In Daraya, a city close to the capital Damascus. As an organization dedicated to providing psychosocial support and child protection. It endeavors to raise awareness of children's rights and how to guard their interests in society.

my moniter shuts off but cpu works on the same time. keyboard and mouse works as i tried alt+F4 to shut down when display was off.
The monitor started and worked fine when i removed the power cord (of moniter only) and inserted it again after 5-10 seconds. But after 2-5 mins it again repeated the problem.
Also when i remove the power of moniter only and insert the power cord again. If i keep a gap of 5-10 sec in the process of removing and insertion only then the moniter works. If i do it without any time delay it remains in off condition without any effect.
By CPU I take it you mean your computer? The CPU is the chip inside that does all the work...
How old is the monitor - and make/model?
Have you another monitor which you can connect and see if that does the same?
As tt's only the monitor which appears to actually go off - powers down completely(?) - I suspect the problem is the monitor in question; probably its power supply...
Sounds your monitor has a hardware problem. Maybe power unit problem.
Have you tried another monitor? To exclude the "CPU" having problems?
I replaced the power cable to cross check the defects in power cable BUT POWER CABLE IS FINE as i tried the cable on other devices like my cpu.
i also cross verified my UPS by connecting my computer to a simple household 220v ac supply.
Unfortunately i dont have another monitor or cpu to cross check the defects
Yes you got it by 'cpu' i mean the whole lot inside the cabinet like hard disk, ram, motherboard, optical drive...
my computer &monitor build year is 2009.
also it's a dell brand monitor build by LG
Can you nip over the a chum and connect "your" monitor to his/her computer; and thus test "your" monitor that way?
If it is the monitor (the PSU possibly being prime suspect) then the monitor will misbehave as when connected to your computer.
i had this idea previously. but unfortunately there is no one who can help me to cross verify by connecting his devices (cpu or moniter)
I was not pointing to the AC cable connecting your monitor to the UPS or wall plug.
My concern is the power unit where the AC cable is connected to, either an external brick or build-in to the monitor.
Do you have a TV with compatible video input? VGA?
Connect your CPU (box) to it. If the TV shows stable video signal, than the problem is your monitor.

Clean and Green Boating Products 101: non-zinc anodes
Spring time is coming and with it a haul out and time to get your boat ready for the year. For many of us that means making hard choices: balancing a desire to use more environmentally friendly products against the need to protect our boat from the sea's ability to quickly degrade it. The problem is that many of the tried and true materials work because of their toxicity – for instance Trinidad SR with its high copper content – and many of the new non-toxic products have not proven to work very well. Aluminum anodes MAY be an exception, a product that works better than traditional zinc anodes and is safer for the marine environment. From the Seattle based Clean Boating Foundation.
The Clean Boating Foundation is often asked by boaters about products they can use to reduce their environmental impact while enjoying their boat and the beautiful waters of Puget Sound. The three major responses are: cleaning supplies, non-copper bottom paint and aluminum/magnesium anodes. Let's talk today about anodes.
What are anodes? They're sacrificial lumps of metal attached to the bottom of your boat to prevent the wasting of the good metals of your boat (hull, shaft, propeller, etc) through galvanic corrosion. Basically, the anode corrodes before the boat does, saving you costly repairs and headaches – anodes are a good thing. Heard of Zincs? Zincs are anodes. But anodes don't necessarily have to be zinc.
In fact, even though zinc has been the choice metal in traditional marine anodes for years, there are more effective and environmentally preferable (and sometimes less expensive) choices out there. The problem with zinc anodes, besides the fact that zinc itself is dangerous to the marine environment when it corrodes away into the water (it is actually regulated in Washington's NPDES industrial and boatyard permits), is that they require cadmium as an activator for the galvanic protection process. Cadmium is an extremely toxic metal, regulated at the federal level. Bad stuff.

Zero Gravity Windscreen
When I rode my Kawasaki KLR650 for the first time on the highway, I was bothered by the tiny stock windscreen , which spoiled long rides on an otherwise freeway-capable bike. The wind blast was directed at the lower edge of my helmet, which created a loud roar at highway speeds, along with some buffeting.
Zero Gravity, a company that specializes in making replacement windscreens, came to the rescue. ZG offers a choice of stock replacement, super sport, Double Bubble® and sport-touring screens for a wide variety of motorcycles. I chose the sport-touring model, 4-inches taller and wider than stock, and I've been pleased with its great wind protection and tinted good looks.
ZG's windscreens are made from quality acrylic plastic that uses a special blow-molding technique to prevent distortion. They are stretched as they are formed, which is said to add strength and flexibility to help the windscreen withstand vibration and resist cracking. Most ZG windscreens, including this one, are pre-drilled and ready to install. The holes and windscreen closely matched the original fairing for a perfect fit; all holes aligned just right.
Installation was easy and only required a Phillips screwdriver and needle-nose pliers to pull the expandable threaded rubber plugs out. If you have an older bike, you may need new rubber plugs for installation, as the original ones eventually become set in the compressed, expanded position – if this happens, keep in mind that Zero Gravity offers a variety of fasteners to solve the problem.
On my KLR, the wind hits considerably higher on the helmet now, which makes a very noticeable reduction in noise – and there's no buffeting. The taller screen flexes a bit more at high speeds, especially in turbulent air or into a headwind. But the good thing is that after several months and many thousands of miles, my fairing still looks like new.
The ZG windscreen is well made of quality material, an excellent fit and fair value. It has significantly improved rider comfort at higher speeds and looks great too.

Peak Hour Grind Slashed Thanks To Sundale Bridge Upgrade
Big bucks for project in council budget
IMAGE: Supplied/City of Gold Coast
The peak hour crawl over the Sundale Bridge is set to be cut down drastically once a $34 million road project from Gold Coast City Council is completed.
Mayor Tom Tate revealed the big ticket project ahead of Thursday's 2019-20 City Budget, which will include adding an additional northbound lane on the bridge and upgrading the intersection of the Gold Coast Highway and Waterways Drive.
"Now you'll be able to get from the Spit and the way to Southport. Instead of taking 35 minutes [during peak hour] it'll be eight minutes," said Cr Tate.
"This is the first part of making sure the infrastructure is in place so that our upgrade, together with the state government, on the Spit Masterplan really can make this area the best parkland in South-East Queensland."
The project is expected to be endorsed during tomorrow's budget announcement, and has been slated to take two years to complete.
Another $55 million has also been pledged for the Isle of Capri Decongestion Project, which is due for completion in early 2021.
Funding for the upgraded bridge to Surfers Paradise will total $25 million alone.

Lily Welcomes Her Wylde Child
LILY COLE has welcomed a baby girl named Wylde Cole Ferreira. The model announced her daughter's birth on Friday via her social-media channels, and shared a few photographs of herself with the new addition, accompanied by a poem.
"Born on the hottest day," she wrote. "Ordinary. Extraordinary. Witchcraft. Wilderness. Love beyond a doubt. Love, a fact of life. Without fear or choice. Wylde Cole Ferreira. We have a little girl. Yay!"
The baby, who is thought to have been born in July, is the first child for theVogue cover girl and her partner Kwame Ferreira, with whom she operates the social-media platform Impossible. She met Ferreira when he offered to help build the website, which encourages users to offer "gifts" – from a tour of a city to home-baked bread – without expectation of return.
It's thought that the baby was born in London, although Cole – who attended Cambridge University – has spent an increasing amount of time in recent months in Portugal, where Ferreira's company Kwamecorp is based.

Hariri Urges Zakka Release in Talks with Iran Envoy
Prime Minister Saad Hariri on Thursday called on Iran to release Nizar Zakka, a Lebanese IT expert and advocate of Internet freedom who has been sentenced in Tehran to ten years in jail on espionage-related charges, media reports said.
Zakka has a green card and was a permanent resident of the United States.
Hariri made his appeal during a meeting with Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Mohammed Fathali, who visited him at the Grand Serail.
The state-run National News Agency said talks between the two men tackled "the general situations and the bilateral ties" between the two countries.
Lebanon's electoral commission has recently disqualified Zakka's attempted candidacy for the parliamentary elections under the excuse that the required paperwork was out of date. The nomination move was an attempt to draw the attention of Lebanese authorities and the public opinion to Zakka's case.
A Lebanese citizen and U.S. permanent resident detained for a year in Iran over spying allegations has been sentenced to 10 years in prison and a $4.2 million fine, his supporters said Tuesday, the latest move in a crackdown on those with foreign ties following last year's nuclear deal.
Zakka, whose nonprofit group did work for the U.S. government, was sentenced to ten years in jail and a $4.2 million fine on September 20, 2016.
A statement from Jason Poblete, a U.S. lawyer representing Zakka, said a Revolutionary Court in Tehran handed down the sentence in a 60-page verdict.
Amnesty International has said Zakka had only two court hearings before the ruling and received only limited legal assistance. The closed-door tribunal handles cases involving alleged attempts to overthrow the government.
Supporters say Judge Abolghassem Salavati heard Zakka's case. Salavati is known for his tough sentences and has heard other politically charged cases, including one in which he sentenced Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian to prison. A prisoner swap in January 2016 between Iran and the U.S. freed Rezaian and three other Iranian-Americans.
Zakka, who lived in Washington and holds resident status in the U.S., led the Arab ICT Organization, or IJMA3, an industry consortium from 13 countries that advocates for information technology in the region. Zakka disappeared Sept. 18, 2015, during his fifth trip to Iran. He had been invited to attend a conference at which President Hassan Rouhani spoke of providing more economic opportunities for women and sustainable development.
On Nov. 3, 2015 Iranian state television aired a report saying he was in custody and calling him a spy with "deep links" with U.S. intelligence services. It also showed what it described as a damning photo of Zakka and three other men in army-style uniforms, two with flags and two with rifles on their shoulders. But that turned out to be from a homecoming event at Zakka's prep school, the Riverside Military Academy in Georgia, according to the school's president.
The Associated Press reported in May 2016 that Zakka's IJMA3 organization had received at least $730,000 in contracts and grants since 2009 from both the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID.
Zakka's supporters have written the U.S. State Department stating that Zakka traveled to Iran "with the knowledge and approval of the U.S. State Department, and his trip was funded by grants" from it.
Neither American nor Lebanese officials, who the U.S. says are responsible for providing consular assistance to Zakka, have publicly acknowledged Zakka's work with the U.S. government.
Zakka's family should do what the shia did when their 'pilgrims' were kidnapped in Syria. They kidnapped with the approval and sponsorship of Abbas Ibrahim and the iranian 'resistance' Turkish pilots and bargained for the release of their terrorist 'pilgrims. Kidnap Iranians in Lebanon and swap them for Nizar Zaka.
Spot on!
Don`t forget the 5 Czech cyclists that were kidnapped and not released until the Czech Repiblic released two Hezbollah-members from prison..
The Iranian regime is lot more ruthless than the Israeli regime, simply because Kizaballah and Iran answer to a higher God....

I love the school holidays! I know I'm probably in the minority by saying that, but I just love making the most of my time with the kids. Since their Daddy and I separated, we have to make the most of the time we have together so yesterday was jam packed to the extreme!
First thing yesterday morning we headed to the BBC Studios in Newcastle for one of their interactive tours. It was absolutely fantastic. It was a children's tour but I was as engaged as any of the kids. Tony, our tour guide, was hilarious and informative….I'd highly recommend it. We had tour of the TV and Radio studios as well as learning a few behind the scenes secrets! I may have had to have been pulled away from the news desk (my dream job) but security didn't need to be called and I'm sure I'll be going back again soon. I loved it!
In the afternoon we were headed to a 4th birthday party but I'd promised the kids a trip to the new ice cream place on Chillingham Road, Cream Curls. They do this crazy, laborious ice cream making in front of you and you choose which bars of chocolate you want to mix it up with. Imagine an ice cream crepe…it's hard to explain! Lola went for a Cadbury's Creme Egg and Harry opted for cookies….until he saw Lola's creme egg being chopped up on a skillet in front of him…then we had to change the order so they both had the same. Fascinating to watch, delicious ice cream and friendly staff. It wasn't cheap but it was a nice treat for them and despite me thinking they could have easily shared one as they were big portions, I ended up with 2 empty tubs in the back of my car! Quite disappointing really as I was hoping to enjoy the leftovers!
All in all a fab day. Kids were asleep for 6.30pm after Lola actually asking to go to bed! Result! We read a story and next thing I remember was waking up next to them both an hour later…turns out I was as tired as the kids. It's hard work having fun!

Surprising Sheaffer rediscovers its core values
September 25, 2010 § Leave a comment
At PenFountain.com have never been over-enamoured with the trend of producing mini-me's of popular pen types. With the exception of the Caran d'Ache Ecridor XS and Parker Duofold Demi series, the mini-me's look more like poor cousins of the full-sized model rather than a chic pen for use on a day out, failing to have the required presence to offset their smaller stature.
Following a customer order, we have taken delivery of the new Sheaffer Prelude Mini Ballpoint range and, in our opinion, with the gloss lacquered finishes and traditional plated trim options, it restores the Prelude to its former position of being a premium quality pen, albeit on a smaller scale.
The recent fashion for matt finishes has done little for the classic lines of the Prelude. So, the return to traditional gloss lacquers, plated 'caps' and corresponding plated trim is a welcome development from Sheaffer returning the brand to what it does best. The Mini Prelude ballpoint comes with both presentation case and small fabric pouch to protect the pen on its days out and, despite its compact size, takes the standard Sheaffer ballpoint refill. A surprising and attractive pen making it worth thinking about as a present for the lady in your life.
Service, Sainsburys and the Independents
September 17, 2010 § Leave a comment
As an independent business, at PenFountain.com, it never ceases to amaze how larger companies can get away with poor customer service bordering on arrogance. In the Cranleigh Sainsburys they have installed a bank of self-service tills. This is not a superstore but it is the largest food store in the village and surrounding countryside. Last night we went to buy a weekly shop only to find that out of about 10 checkouts only 2 were manned with a floating supervisor to over-see the regular problems on self-service. The queues were building and there were no staff available to ease the pressure. One member of staff was most apologetic but identified that having the self-service tills, the company were reducing the employees' hours and therefore, at peak times, the queues were likely to become more common.
We wish we had the opportunity to run our business this way. It's not that we would, but it would be nice to have that amount of business. We enjoy offering our customers a special experience when buying their fountain pens.
What was also interesting was that this experience came on a day that the new Daybreak TV programme had featured the dominance of the store chains and homogeneity creeping into the high street. The town featured was Richmond upon Thames and they showed images of shoppers laden with bags from many of the majors. Great shame they couldn't have followed it up with images of the independents and shown how their personal service and specialisation was so different, giving them their 5 minutes of fame.
Fountain pen inks aren't all the same
September 11, 2010 § 2 Comments
Fountain pen ink is literally the lifeblood of the pen. For schoolboys it's the colour of their fingers from dismantling their pens to find how they work. For the more mature users, it's what they spend their time doing, trying to find the colour and quality which most clearly reflects their personality or whim and suits their favoured pen of the week.
With 2 key components, water and dye, fountain pen inks have changed little since the late 19th Century. The dye, being water soluble, offers a guaranteed equal dispersion of colour throughout the ink without the risk of the colour component settling back out of the water during periods of inactivity. Historically, in the absence of any other form of written communication, the issue of ink flow versus drying times was of major concern. However, the modern market is somewhat different with a host of alternative methods of recording the written word, drying times of are of less consequence and focus is more towards colour density and pen reliability, particularly with more limited use for most fountain pens.
The issue of balancing reliable ink-flow with optimal drying time was addressed in 1928 by George Parker. He introduced a solvent into the formulation of his Quink Ink (quick drying ink) with a view to offering reliable ink flow with quicker drying times without the risk of clogging in the pen. In older formulations, Quink also offered some degree of water resistance. Although the principles of the formulation remain in today's Parker Quink, in our opinion, the quality of the ink in terms of its flow and opacity, is not 'best in class' and is not compatible with many pen types. Quink remains one of the largest volume selling inks worldwide.
For ink formulating chemists, an alternative to dyes would be a pigment-based ink. Pigmented inks generally offer stronger, denser colours than the dye based equivalent, particularly with paler colours. However, by its nature, a pigment is a solid in suspension in a liquid. Fountain pens, working principally by capillary action, are dependent on the free flow of liquids through fine conduits and pigments would offer the probability of obstructing the feed routes by liquid evaporation and deposition of solids. The inks may also be prone to the settlement of the pigment out of the liquid during periods of inactivity. Pigment inks are generally available for dipping pens used primarily for calligraphy, while Indian Inks use shellac in their formulation for similar applications away from fountain pens
Modern dye-based inks are increasingly influenced by developments from the chemical industry producing reliable, hybrid dye based inks, with some microscopic solids to improve overall colour and drying performance.
More recently, the fountain pen ink market has seen the proliferation of colour with the likes of Diamine and Pelikan offering over 70 different colours and offering a constantly changing palette. However, it is not recommended that different colours are mixed to create a 'personal colour' because each colour may have a different pH value which may result in fading over time. For this reason, it is also recommended that pens are flushed between colour changes. There is also a number of manufacturers' such as French producer , J.Herbin, offering scented inks. This technology, whilst fun, does not generally offer a sustainable scent beyond the room in which the romantic correspondence has been composed, probably because of the high cost of the chemical components required to increase the scents' durability.
Dye based fountain inks are inherently water-soluble and therefore, can easily be erased, either by accident or in malice. For certain types of legal documents such as marriage certificates, the demand is for a permanent record. For this application the lead is taken from the earliest times where iron gall ink was used. Such is iron gall's tenacity that, through modern analysis, it has been identified that the Dead Sea Scrolls were written in a form of iron gall! Iron gall ink works by a combination of evaporation of the water carrier and oxidisation of the iron component on contact with air. Initially it forms a steely blue-grey line which becomes waterproof on drying and darkens as the oxidisation occurs. However, iron gall is not bleach resistant or fully UV resistant. Iron gall inks such as, Diamine Registrars' Ink are available for use in fountain pens but it is strongly recommended that the pen is flushed after each use to prevent clogging and acid damage.
Since the mid-1960s many manufacturers have offered the convenience of cartridges. Generally offering a similar formulation of ink to bottles, many manufacturers including, Pelikan, Caran d'Ache, Waterman, and J.Herbin use a 'Euro Standard' cartridge fitting. However, it should not be taken for granted that all cartridges will fit every pen. In our experience at PenFountain, there is some variation in design that can be significant enough to result in leakage. Equally, some manufacturers including Parker, Cross, Lamy and Sheaffer, require their own proprietary cartridges and convertors.
Extremes of Fountain Pen Retailing
September 4, 2010 § Leave a comment
A family, researching fountain pens on-line, found PenFountain.com as a retail business in Cranleigh, Surrey. Despite only living about 12 miles away, they had never been to the village and came over to look for a pen for a special birthday present. As I have said previously, we both enjoy the selling experience. Us asking the questions and helping customers to make decisions about which pen to buy, and customers enjoying the chance to experience different pen and nib combinations. It is not a speedy process and part of the enjoyment is establishing a rapport with the customers and their entourage. The family in question settled for a couple of Parker Pens and then asked advice as to where they could find other significant gifts and a good cup of coffee in the Village.
The net result is a plus for the retailers of Cranleigh as a whole.
The flip-side is that, during our customer's deliberations, one of our regulars, working with the Rotary Club of Cranleigh, came in and in the course of our conversation I asked about progress on a proposed shoppers guide sign for the Village. The response was predictable. The chains stores, which are currently threatening the existence of the village by pushing the independents out of business, could not be bothered with supporting the shoppers guide initiative, while the independents have supported it almost universally. In my opinion, the majors should be putting up the lions share of the cost, bearing in mind that, to a man, they all fanfared their arrival with assurances of how they wanted to support the local community. WH Smith even cynically 'sponsored' the re-planting of some decorative flower beds – providing the flowers were in their corporate colours!
The net result is a minus for Cranleigh – no support for visitors, and the threat of yet another homogenous High Street.
If you want to see a thriving and varied high street in a pretty location, we're still worth a visit and there are plenty of alternatives to the usual high street rogues.
Gold or Steel for fountain pen nibs?
September 3, 2010 § Leave a comment
Perceived wisdom is that the best nibs are produced from gold. The theory is that gold, being a relatively soft metal, 'moulds' the profile of its tip to the writer's style and becomes an intrinsic part of the writing experience. The style of the nib unit also contributes to the flexibility of the nib while the pen's overall design and materials will deliver balance and weight.
However, increasingly, I believe that with modern manufacturing techniques, the arguments in favour of gold as the choice of material for nibs is diminishing. Steel nibs are increasingly precise in their manufacturing tolerances with finer tynes and, even with limited finishing, an can perform in a similar manner to a brand new gold counterpart. The wear characteristics will differ between the two materials, assuming that the nibs are used extensively in a set position. However, for many owners, their pens are only used for an occasional flourished signature or brief note of affection.
My advice is do use a gold nibbed fountain pen to make your statement but don't feel you have short-changed yourself if you select a good quality steel nib such as, a Caran d'Ache Ecridor, Cross ATX or Waterman Expert. Once again, the message must be: Try before you buy.

Tesla cuts prices in China to boost sales
Tesla has introduced large price cuts of its Model X and Model S cars in China to boost sales in China. The models' prices came down €23.639 and €13.272 resp., to make the cars more affordable to Chinese buyers.
Last summer Tesla raised its prices at the start of a trade war between the US and China. When China raised import duty on US-made cars by 40 percent from 15 percent, Tesla's prices were raised by 20 percent.
Shanghai Daily reports that the latest price cuts are regarded as an effort of Tesla to absorb some of the 'pain' of the trade war, while boosting sales in the world's largest auto market as well as one of the leading countries in the development of electric cars.
Tesla is building a wholly-owned super factory in Shanghai, where it plans to produce 3,000 Model 3 sedans per week. The first cars will roll off the production line in three years.

The Nairn Beach Demonstration today was a huge success with over 500 people out to defend the Moray firth environment.
The organisers Cromarty Rising were well pleased with the Nairn people's turnout and it made for an impressive line up along the beach.
Interestingly this beach was used for the D - Day training landings during World War 2 , Let's hope this war against the Ship to Ship oil transfers is also won !
There are so many downsides to this idea that it's hard to believe that they could get the go ahead.
However we must all do our utmost to stop this dangerous scheme before it ever starts ! I have already written to our Local MP voicing the opposition of our 170 Members of the Trust.
We have a direct interest in stopping this proposal, since our Swans and cygnets spend a lot of time feeding on the seaweed along this shore line, along with Brent geese and other sea birds.
This environment is way more important than extra oil bucks for Cromarty port authority.
Selection of photos of the demo today, some were suitably dressed for the occasion too !

Helen Powell started suffering with debilitating migraines as a teenager and they continued to blight her life for more than forty years. After years of failed treatments and medications – including a series of nerve-block injections – Helen came to see Dr Nicholas Silver, Consultant Neurologist at Spire Cheshire Hospital and found long-term relief thanks to a hand-held device that fires an electric current into nerves in the neck.
"I really can't believe how something so simple can have transformed my life," said the former air stewardess from Holmes Chapel. Migraines have virtually ruled my life. They caused me to stop working because I had to take so much time off and at one stage I was spending four days a week confined to my bed because the pain was so overpowering."
Helen, 61, was finally referred to Consultant Neurologist Dr Nicholas Silver at Spire Cheshire Hospital who diagnosed her as suffering from hemicrania continua - a chronic headache disorder.
He explained: "Helen was in a desperate state, her headaches had steadily become more severe and more frequent. The pain was to the right side of her head behind the eye and the temple, a stabbing pain combined with a throbbing pressure in the eye".
"I was aware of the various painkillers and treatments she had been given in the past and thought that it would be worth her trying a relatively new device known as gammaCore which transmits mild electrical stimulation to the vagus nerve in the neck."
Helen said: "I look back at my old life and shudder, I have missed out on so many things. My daughter Lucinda, was recently riding in the British Dressage National Championships and I was there to cheer her on. Before I began using the gammaCore I just wouldn't have been able to do that."
"In May my sister was 60. Lucinda and I went on a cruise around the Med with her – it was fabulous. We saw the sights, we sunbathed went to the shows and really burnt the candle at both ends and I didn't get a single headache!"
Dr Silver explained that hemicrania continua is a primary headache disorder which shares some similarities with both migraine and cluster headache and is far more common than people realised.
"Unfortunately the condition is often mistaken for migraine but sufferers typically fail to respond to conventional migraine treatments" he said.
A predominantly one-sided and persistent headache causing jabbing and stabbing pains along with a degree of restlessness and agitation, hemicranias continua also causes red, runny, puffy and droopy eyes, blocked and running nose, fullness in the ear, tinnitus, flushing and sweating.
"While the textbooks say sufferers should respond to a medication called indomethacin that is similar to aspirin, I have found that, for many patients, this treatment is either of no benefit or is poorly tolerated."
"However, many patients do respond to the typical first line therapy of local nerve block injections around the head and face that can often be repeated successfully a few times each year to provide good control and relief," said Dr Silver.
He added: "My early experience of gammaCore is that is can significantly benefit about half of the patients that try it – which is a similar number to those seen in the recent international clinical trials of cluster headache."
"The vagus nerves in the neck send some signals from the brain to control functions such as gastric secretions and heart rate. However, the main part of the nerve takes signals from the body and sends them to the brain, forming part of the pathway involved in the generation of headache disorders."
"The device, about the size of a woman's electric razor, works by very safely transmitting very small electrical impulses towards the brain which modulates the way nerves 'talk to each other', helping to switch off some of the 'abnormal circuits' that contribute towards headaches and associated symptoms."
"To be absolutely honest this machine has transformed my life," said Helen. "I wake up every morning feeling fine, my head is clear and I am looking forward to the day ahead. Dr Silver has given me back my life and I will be forever grateful. I now have a really positive feeling about my future and where life is going to take me."
For more information or to make an appointment with Dr Nicholas Silver, Consultant Neurologist at Spire Cheshire Hospital please call 01925 215 087 or click here to complete our online enquiry form.

Next community day for York Road
Published Tuesday, 3rd January 2017
Southend Community Safety Partnership (SCSP) is to hold another day of community action in York Road, Southend–on-Sea, in the New Year.
As part of the 'Operation Stonegate' initiative, a 12 hour 'Community Day' will be held on Wednesday 4th January between 10am and 10pm, bringing together a number statutory authorities, partners and support agencies. The days are designed to support the residents of York Road.
The New Year event follows the first 'Community Day' held on Tuesday 29th November where a variety of council services and partner agencies carried out extensive activity, including providing advice, information and support to residents and targeting enforcement issues where they existed.
Council officers will be attending from the following teams:
- Private sector housing
- Regulatory services
- Waste management and Recycling
- Make Southend Sparkle
- Youth Offending Service
- Public Health
- South Essex Homes
Essex Police and Essex Fire and Rescue Service will also be present, as will BID Rangers, Street Pastors, Family Mosaic and South East Alliance of Landlords (SEAL). A litter pick will also be carried out through the day in partnership with Essex Community Rehabilitation.
Free micro-chipping will be offered to dog owners, supporting a recent change in the law that means all owners must have their dogs microchipped and their records kept up to date. Domestic Violence support services will also be offered through SOS Dove Project, as there is typically a rise in rates of domestic violence at this time of year.
Cllr Mark Flewitt, Executive Councillor for Public Protection, says: "The first Community Day led by the SCSP was a real success with many agencies spending time with the residents of York Road, engaging and discussing solutions to any concerns they may have. I am very pleased to see the next event taking place so soon after.
"The Operation Stonegate initiative, developed by the SCSP aims to address some of the social issues in the locality together with crime and disorder, and so again there will be a range of services for people to talk to and receive advice and information from, including the private sector housing team, waste management, South Essex Homes and Essex Police."
Inspector Bill Potter from Essex Police, says: "York Road has many challenges and it is currently the residential street of greatest demand to statutory authorities. There are some very happy well established and long-term residents, but it is also a transient environment accommodating many vulnerabilities.
"We would like to support the more responsible residents by improving their living environment; help the more vulnerable with appropriate services and apply the right enforcement pressure to those who contribute to crime and disorder. Operation Stonegate is a joint approach to these issues borne out of the Community Safety Partnership and involving statutory authorities, landlords and other outreach services."
Simon Ford, Community Safety Manager for SCSP says: "We feel that it is important to keep up the momentum in this area and follow on from the success of the first day to support the residents of York Road through a range of support services and targeted enforcement action.
"This second day of action will see a number of agencies under the Southend Community Safety Partnership (CSP) banner come together to tackle some of the current challenges that residents and businesses in York Rd have experienced in the last few months."
The third Community Day will take place on Tuesday 28th February 2017.

In today's ever-changing security landscape, incident response teams often miss out on potential threats that can impact their organization because they're time-strapped by manual processes and high alert volume. They're unable to take advantage of the breadth of external threat intelligence available and instead focus only on internal logs and data. Security teams need a platform that can centralize threat intelligence across sources and harness that information to drive action across security environments.
To meet these challenges, users can combine the comprehensive threat intelligence of Anomali ThreatStream with the security orchestration and automation features of Demisto to improve threat visibility and accelerate incident response.
Integration features
- Automate Anomali ThreatStream enrichment of IPs, domains, and file hashes as playbook-driven tasks within Demisto.
- Access reputation of an email in Anomali ThreatStream from Demisto in real-time.
- Search for threat intelligence details in ThreatStream Cloud from within Demisto.
- Leverage hundreds of Demisto product integrations to further enrich Anomali ThreatStream data and coordinate response across security functions.
- Run thousands of commands (including for Anomali ThreatStream) interactively via a ChatOps interface while collaborating with other analysts and Demisto's chatbot.
Automated threat enrichment and response
The disparate nature of threat intelligence and incident response tools can make it tough for SOC teams to track the lifecycle of an incident due to moving between screens, fragmented information, and the lack of single-window documentation. Incident response will also often involve a host of important but repetitive actions that analysts need to perform, leaving them time-strapped for actual problem-solving and decision-making.
SOCs using Anomali ThreatStream for threat intelligence and Demisto Enterprise for security orchestration and incident response respectively can automate indicator enrichment through Demisto playbooks. These playbooks will harness Anomali ThreatStream indicator intelligence and use that information to execute actions across the entire stack of products that a SOC uses.
For example, analysts can leverage Anomali ThreatStream to enrich domains, IPs, and file hashes as automatable playbook tasks.
Demisto playbooks coupled with Anomali ThreatStream actions can standardize and speed up triage and resolution of security alerts. Analysts get a comprehensive view of the response workflow on a single screen. With repeatable tasks now automated, analyst time is freed up for deeper investigation and strategic action.
For more information on Demisto's integration with Anomali, view our joint solution brief
Interactive, real-time investigation for complex threats
Apart from running automated actions, attack investigations usually require additional real-time tasks such as pivoting from one suspicious indicator to another to gather critical evidence, drawing relations between incidents, and finalizing resolution. Running these commands traps analysts in a screen-switching cycle during investigation and a documentation-chasing cycle after investigations end.
After running enrichment playbooks, analysts can gain greater visibility and new actionable information about the attack by running Anomali ThreatStream commands in the Demisto War Room. For example, if playbook results throw up indicator information, analysts can get additional context from Anomali ThreatStream in real time by running the threatstream-intelligence command with relevant arguments.
Analysts can also run commands from other security tools in real-time using the War Room, ensuring a single-console view for end-to-end investigation that coordinates across the product stack. The War Room will document all analyst actions and suggest the most effective analysts and command-sets with time.
The War Room allows analysts to quickly pivot and run unique commands relevant to incidents in their environment from a common window. All participating analysts will have full task-level visibility of the process and be able to run and document commands from a unified console. They will also prevent the need for collating information from multiple sources for documentation.
We hope you found this integration overview useful. To explore Demisto in greater detail, you can download the Free Community Edition below.

Growing up in the Dominican Republic, I had a different idea as to what turkey was supposed to taste like. First of all, you ordered your turkeys from the turkey farm way in advance or you were not going to get one for Christmas (we didn't have thanksgiving, obviously). The turkey got to us alive. Yes, alive. It hung around the yard for days until the day it was getting cooked. A more raw way to do this. But, it was also part of my training to kill and dress a chicken for our meals. And that is how this was done. I had not thought about this much until now. If I had to do this now, I probably wouldn't cook turkey.
The way we prepare the turkey is a little more involved than the US way but the taste is just amazing. And there won't be one little bit of crisp skin left on that cooked bird. My family loves to pick on the skin as soon as the bird comes out the oven. I have taken this recipe and added the bacon wrap to make it my own. You can adjust it to your taste.
Non cured bacon. (contains no nitrates or preservatives of any kind).
Butter, room temperature.
Sour oranges, regular oranges, or lemons.
I make this stuffing to taste so it is hard to define amounts. But I am ad libbing it. This makes enough to stuff a bird and place the rest in a casserole dish to be baked in the oven after the turkey comes out.
about 2 tablespoons Recaito
olive or coconut oil
1 large onion
1 large bell pepper
2 cloves of garlic
a few stalks of celery
about 2 cups. chicken stock
about 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
roasted chestnuts or mushrooms (optional). In the winter, Costco sells already shelled roasted chestnuts.
1 bag stuffing croutons
This bird makes the best gravy ever. Using the drippings from this bird, you won't have to use any other seasoning. Just the drippings and flour or corn starch. I use the gizzards, neck and heart that come with the bird to make the stock for the gravy. I put them in water and cook them in very low heat for a few hours. This makes the perfect stock.
Thanksgiving morning: Take the turkey out of the fridge a little while before you start preparing it so it isn't so cold. Wash well with water. Cut oranges or lemons in half. Scrub the turkey with the orange. And leave with the juice for a few minutes. (if you sdon't have oranges, I have used orange juice before). Pat the turkey a little with paper towels. Massage the turkey with the butter. Then massage with the recaito. (For this occasion, I put the recaito in the blender so it is more like a paste.) Let the turkey rest with all that on while you make the stuffing.
In a very large pan, saute the onions, the peppers and the celery until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and cilantro. Add the chestnuts. Add the recaito. Add the croutons. Add stock slowly mixing carefully to not mash the croutons. The mixture shouldn't be too wet since it is going to get very moist inside the bird.
Stuff the bird. Close it. Then cover the entire bird with bacon strips.
If you have a turkey roasting pan with a lid, bake in a low (300° F) oven depending on your bird's weight. Google turkey roasting time to get the time depending on the size of your bird. When the turkey is ready, take out of the oven and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving. This gives you time to make the gravy.
Get the drippings from the turkey pan. You will have to separate the fat. In a large pan, heat the drippings. Take a some stock and add the flour to it. Whisk it well. Add to the drippings. Slowly, add the stock as the gravy thickens to get the consistency desired. When thick it is ready.

I made these for my daughter's birthday dinner and they were a big hit. Very simple to make but they only sat for a couple of hours before baking. I bought original Jimmy Dean sausage but turkey would work fine to lighten it up. It took 40 minutes to get them nice and gooey browned and crispy!!
Jul 11, 2013
Made half the recipe to try and they were gone in a heartbeat. I used turkey sausage links. Very good and easy.

This made a great last minute after school snack for a house unexpectedly filled with tween boys! Obviously. Didn't wait 4 hours. But I was voted best mom that afternoon!
Nov 18, 2012
I made for Thanksgiving and Christmas 2011 and plan to again this year.
Mar 6, 2012
served these at a brunch. I should have made a double batch. I used less brown sugar than called for. Just sprinkled after baking.
Sep 25, 2011
So delicious! I've made them a few times and everyone loves them. It is a very simple recipe - I was trying to think of something easy to make for a party today and when I thought of these I knew they were perfect!
Jan 1, 2011
WOW! This recipe is simple quick and packs a punch with amazing flavor! Christmas Eve this year was COMFORT FOOD and my sister brought these to the party! She hadn't even hung up her coat in the closet when everyone started raving about them. Inside of one hour her TRIPLE recipe of these wonderful little sausage bacon bites were gone! I will be making them soon and often!!
Dec 13, 2010
I have made this twice; it is excellent. However unless I am doing something wrong here, 3/4 lb bacon isn't enough. There is way more sausage. I made this twice, and forgot to have extra bacon on hand the second time, and had the same problem again.
Nov 28, 2009
I made these for a church brunch. Everyone loved them. They are so easy to make.
Jan 1, 2009
i make these for our food day at work and they are always the first thing gone!
