Belden named district's finance director
With budget season around the corner, the Shelton school administration welcomed a new, yet familiar face as its finance director.
The Board of Education last Wednesday approved the hire of lifelong Shelton resident Rick Belden to head the district's finance department.
"The staff members of the Shelton public schools are delighted to welcome Rick Belden as the new finance director for the district," Superintendent Chris Clouet announced after the board meeting Wednesday night. "Rick is top in the field, a seasoned professional who knows the Shelton community very well."
Board of Education Chairman Mark Holden said Belden understands the "community's values and the challenges we face.
"His many years of experience as a finance manager will make him a valuable member of the team," added Holden.
Clouet said Belden brings more than 25 years of experience in education and municipal finance and operations management. Belden will assume the position on Jan. 5, when the current finance director, Edward Drapp, is scheduled to leave the post.
Belden has a BS in accounting from Sacred Heart University, an MBA from the University of New Haven, and completed the Education Leadership Program at Sacred Heart University.
He has served as president of the Connecticut Association of School Business Officials (CASBO).
He has been active in many community organizations over the years — currently on the board of directors of Center Stage Theater and president of the Highland Golf Club. He is a past member Shelton Parks & Recreation Commission and past corporator of the Boys & Girls Club of LNV.

Year of Graduation:
- Undergraduate
This summer I'll be serving as a Finnegan Fellow in the Pennsylvania State government. In this role, I'll be assigned to work with a Pennsylvania state agency in Harrisburg, PA. I'll also be attending weekly lunches with key Pennsylvania cabinet members and officials such as the Pennsylvania Attorney General. If you look at the James A. Finnegan Foundation website, there is a lot of general information provided about the internship program.
In terms of research, I'm mostly interested in American race relations, education, media culture, urban development, and social movements. I'm not exactly sure what my thesis will be focused on. I have been conducting some preliminary research on a case study focused on racial housing segregation and how it has impacted education and school district funding for whites and minority students.

A modern and elegant table, characterised boldly by a merger of styles, geometric shapes and materials that create a new dialogue between aesthetic balance and original appeal.
The legs, which are available in American walnut-wood or in natural polished or grey ash-wood, follow a silhouette consisting of lines and connections: indeed, they are connected by a central longitudinal element which facilitates the volumetric perception of the table. The outline of the table top stems from the merger of two geometric shapes, namely the rectangle and the oval, giving rise to a new and original shape. Deliberately in contrast with the solid wood legs, the table top is available in marble (Calacatta, Carrara, Marquinia or Emperador), lacquered white, acid-treated glass or ceramic.

March is coming in a bit like a lion in Augusta, where a public health care practitioners and activists are coming from across Maine to oppose Gov. Paul LePage's budget proposals around public health and anti-smoking programs.
The Legislature's Appropriations Committee is now weeks into holding public hearings about the governor's budget and nearly every weekday brings a new group of constituents to the State House to decry the portion of the budget that bothers them most. It sets up a tough situation for lawmakers, who have to maintain a view of the forest while everyone points out their favorite tree. Which tree is more important than the next? Those are decisions that are still weeks away.
Today, the Maine Public Health Association, which represents more than 400 health professionals, is coming from every corner of the state to hold a noon press conference followed by hours of testimony to the Appropriations Committee. At issue: $10 million in cuts to community public health programs and school-based tobacco prevention programs. LePage proposes shifting some of that funding to the Medicaid program in order to maintain current reimbursement levels for primary care physicians.
Heath care and community officials are coming from Bangor, Portland, Franklin, Kennebec and Aroostook Counties and students are traveling in from Readfield and Belfast.
Meanwhile, there's a heavy committee schedule today. The Criminal Justice Committee will consider a bill that would allow convicted felons — maybe some of them with non-violent crimes in their pasts — to request a pardon from the governor that would restore their gun rights. The Education Committee is considering a bill that would require public school students to demonstrate their knowledge of personal finances and is scheduled to possibly make a recommendation on an emergency bill that would allow schools to make up snow days by extending each school day, as opposed to adding days to the school year in June.
The Labor Committee has a handful of bills on its docket that related to wages and benefits for certain public employees and the State and Local government will collect testimony on a bill to prohibit towns and cities from holding votes on the legalization of recreational marijuana. In the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee, campaign rules are on the docket.

Keeping kids fed
Senate Minority Leader Justin Alfond, a Democrat from Portland, has carved out childhood hunger as one of his major initiatives this session. In January, an Alfond-led bipartisan Task Force to End Student Hunger in Maine released a lengthy report on the issue that included several recommendations. The task force was created by the previous legislative session, when Alfond was the president of the Senate.
The panel recommended bolstering school breakfast and lunch programs by ensuring that every student who qualifies registers for both. The panel also recommends expansion of after-school, summer and community meals programs within 5 years.
Last year, Alfond found himself in the middle of a veto fight over his bill to expand summer food programs in Maine, but it showed that there are a number of lawmakers who support his goals. The bill was vetoed by LePage, who called it an unfunded mandate, but the veto was overridden.
It is estimated that there are some 86,000 school-aged children in Maine who go hungry on a daily basis. A full 46 percent of children qualify for free and reduced-price meals, which makes Maine first in New England and third in the United States for food insecurity. — Christopher Cousins
Augusta courthouse opens today
The new Augusta courthouse is open for business as of this morning. For regulars in Augusta, it might seem as if the courthouse has been open longer than your average felony jail sentence. The building, located at 1 Court St. in Augusta, will house approximately 85 court staff and consolidate superior court, district court, family court and other functions.
The building, completed for about $58 million since August 2012, includes seven courtrooms. Renovations on the "old" Kennebec County Courthouse, located next door to the new, are scheduled to begin this summer. — Christopher Cousins
The NFL needs a lobbyist?
Yes, apparently. And an expensive one.
The Hill reports that the NFL has hired an operative named Nicole Gustafson, who has a history of working for the GOP, as its "chief Republican lobbyist," according to an article in Slate.
For those of you who think football is just a game, you're right, though there are a number of serious issues surrounding the professional football league, including the fact that the blockbuster league has non-profit tax status.
The NFL has spent more than $10 million on lobbying since 2007, including more than $1 million last year.
That's enough money to get the New England Patriots started on another Superbowl run. — Christopher Cousins

'We are going to be #1!'
Maine's Queen City has a new top ranking to celebrate.
Best place to vacation? Nope. Best place to start a business? No. Best place to fall in love? No. Home of the best sushi? Sorry, no.
According to Corey Bogel, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Caribou, Bangor had the lowest average temperature in its recorded history in February 6.1 degrees. That delightful news came just a few days after Bangor also broke its annual snowfall record with more than 117 inches having fallen so far.
Most Mainers — even the skiers and plow drivers — are looking forward to some relief from Old Man Winter. As the BDN's Evan Belanger reported, a look further back in history might put the news in some comforting perspective, if records went back that far.
"National Weather Service records Bangor go back to 1926, so it's possible there was a colder month that's not on record," he wrote.
That's really comforting, Evan. — Christopher Cousins

A fantastic app when used with a Fenix 6 watch. Makes planning and navigating a course a cinch using the internal watch maps. Also the support by Marcus is unbelievably responsive and helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending this app.

Great app to download routes to your garmin device. When it comes to planning (and changing) your route on a smartphone, routeCourse is BY FAR the best and easiest way. I've tried Komoot, Ride with GPS, Strava and one or two more,.... none of them is nearly as quick and easy as routeCourse. Also the ability to switch routing 'algorithm' between fast cycling, touring and mtb is a great feature.

The app works really well with Garmin Fenix 6X to plan, download and run a course using watch maps. But even better is the technical support. Really prompt responses and excellent advice.

Used the app for years and loved it but suddenly started to get an error message. Contacted Marcus and had great service in getting the problem resolved (corrupted file on my end). Excellent!

Great app with simple route planning function. Works great with my Garmin 1000 edge. Only one little irritating thing: when I use my Macbook for route planning and wants to do a click-and-hold to move the map is sometimes miss interpretes that as the next point of the route, a minor thing.

Can only echo other peoples positive reviews on here, a very quick, reliable way to transfer courses from URL links straight to your device. Tech Support is second to none, I had a glitch recently that was responded to within an hour of sending a query. Its my must have way to transfer routes to my Garmin 830. Brilliant.
22 April 2020
Route course is great. I rely on it heavily. I reviewed last year but wanted to follow up. I had an issue where dynamicWatch stopped recognizing pinned RWGPS routes, and so consequently these were not recognized by routeCourse on my Garmin. (In fact it was the latter that I discovered first.) I wanted to remark on the amazing support and service-Markus responded to my email in about 30 minutes with two possible fixes (to address shortcomings in RWGPS rather than dW/rC.) In the end the "turn it off and on" fix worked- a simple disconnect/re-connect RWGPS from dynamicWatch.

Excellent app. I have it installed on my Garmin watch and Edge GPS. Transferring route is easy. Also, not to forget Rain and Wind app. This helps a lot while cycling outdoors. Kudos.

Fantastic app that shouldn't be necessary bearing in mind how much you pay for a brand new Garmin Watch etc however i'm so so glad it is available! makes it such a breeze to get routes onto your device from your mobile phone etc. I use OS maps to find routes especially in ares i'm not familiar with and being able to export a gpx and have it on my watch in under 5 minutes in the middle of nowhere without a laptop is fantastic. The support I have received from Marcus has been absolutely incredible and I would not hesitate to recommend this software to anyone. I have upgraded to the premium version also, at such a reasonable price I don't see why you wouldn't!

But none of this fixes the real problem, which is how do you maintain reliable long term storage? Barring* the collapse of civilization, digital electronic storage is the way to go, and given that all man made devices eventually fail, the only way to ensure that all your stuff remains accessible is to have multiple copies, like one copy on your desk and one somewhere in the great and benevolent cloud. What I really want is a Wifi enabled box with some quantity of storage space that automatically copies its to the web. Shouldn't have to worry about it until the box fails. There probably is such an animal out there somewhere, but it's lunch time and I'm hungry.
*Barring, with two 'r's, is the doggy version of bar. Baring, with one 'r', is the doggy version of bare. Because I wasn't sure. 'Doggy' is filling in for some arcane grammatical termski.

Preparing yourself for a reading
Preparing yourself for a reading
The suggestions I'm going to propose apply to any professional intervention not just a psychic reading. On the energy level, it's not like popping to the supermarket to get some groceries. It's an energetic process which should be far away from the noise of the world. If you were going to play the violin you wouldn't just put down a hamburger and start to play. You would stop what you are doing, focus your mind for a few minutes, and then start to play.
Preparation for a reading, face to face or remote, should begin at least an hour beforehand where you focus your mind, put aside other things that are concerning you and tune in beforehand to the situation and clearly identify for yourself what you want to achieve.
If you are going to a place to see somebody, arrive not more than 5 min early because sometimes the waiting room is limited and sometimes there isn't a waiting room. You will find it very useful to see the private room of the therapist or helper as a temple. I find it appropriate to take off shoes and outer garments before entering the room. Before entering the consulting room, please turn off your mobile phone. Remember, the phone radiates. In addition, if it starts to ring at a key moment in the consultation, the consultant can lose their thread.
You may be bursting with things to say but let the consultant set the scene and adjust to your coming. Adjustment can be quite difficult. You have to adjust to a person you have not met before and they to you. You may have had a traumatic event before the meeting. I don't think it's a good idea to take notes because while you're writing you can't fully concentrate. If the consultant makes a tape recording then so much the better but my experience is that you will hear what you need to hear and will 'get it' (unless you don't want to of course).
I want to discuss remote sessions on Skype, zoom or over the telephone. The fact that you are 3000 miles away is completely irrelevant. The telepathic effect is just the same as if you were in the same room and sometimes better because there are no distractions. You should therefore make sure that the room from which you are calling is free from disturbance and noise. Switch the phone off and make sure that people in the house are warned so they do not enter. Someone I know insists on rattling plates and cutlery while they are talking and because of automatic volume control the rattling is just as loud as the voice. I also find that cats walking around can distract.
The speaker or the voice of the speaker needs to be the only focus because they will be focusing on you exclusively so if you can return the compliment, the speaker or consultant will be able to pick up more and you will get better reading. Good readings do not come about automatically.
If you do not understand something that is said please ask them to repeat it. Try to make sure that your left brain is not blocking because it doesn't want to hear something. I say that because some people ask for a reading or opinion because they want the therapist confirm their choice or boyfriend "you don't understand, he's loving but has his problems". A therapist is trained to read the signs and you may not like what you hear to try and remain neutral.
Do not over-prepare. This is not a mechanical process. Start with where you are and your own higher consciousness will lead you to the next stage.
Now let's assume that something good has happened. If this is the case, you will feel some lightness of healing. You may feel warm as well. It is vital to abstain from activity including going out, alcohol, talking to someone on the phone to say you had a reading, in fact the best thing you can do is to sit in a chair and meditate or at least be quiet. Try and avoid watching TV for at least an hour after the consultation. This will make sure that the thoughts as well as the words settle into you and do their transforming work.
Above all, try not to articulate to someone else, especially that 'someone' in your life, for at least 24-hours because it is likely that they will ask well intentioned questions those may be inappropriately intrusive and may inhibit the process of healing. Please try and think charitable thoughts especially to those with whom you have had some differences in the past. Being angry towards someone and taking sides will not solve anything. If you go away with anger, you will undo any good that the practitioner has done.
I write the above on the basis of having done about 20,000 brief and full readings were clients over a period of 40 years. In the last 10 years I have been joined by my partner Francoise who is similarly gifted.

"In our community of caring we take time to share with one another what is in our hearts — our joys, our sorrows, and important milestones. I invite you to receive and light a candle, tell us your name, and briefly share what is changing your life."
Each Sunday these familiar words introduce what our Order of Service names as "Sharing Joys and Concerns". For many people, such sharing is an important part of the service, an opportunity for members whose lives are being changed by either joy or sorrow (or, sometimes, both at once!) to speak briefly about that personal transformation. It's important because heart-felt sharing develops and deepens fellowship in a way that nothing else can.
What we call Joys and Concerns was introduced into Unitarian Universalist worship during the 1960s and 70s. It's generally a combination of the candle-lighting remembrances of Catholicism and Judaism with the personal confessions or petitionary prayers of Protestant churches. From what I've seen, though, it's done differently in just about every UU congregation.
Some do Joys and Concerns every Sunday while others only do it once a month. Some have a limited number of candles or a limited amount of time for sharing or a limited number of chairs for people to occupy in advance of their sharing. Some have candles lit or stones dropped into water, but no sharing. Some have people write their joys and sorrows in a "book of life" and then they're blended into a pastoral prayer offered by the minister or a lay leader. One in seven congregations do not do Joys and Concerns at all.
There have also been debates about Joys and Concerns since it was introduced. Aside from the amount of time it takes, which can vary unpredictably from two minutes to ten minutes or even more, just about every minister has at least one horror story of thoroughly inappropriate sharing. Personally I value Joys and Concerns for the emotional warmth it brings to our community, and visitors often comment on how impressed they are that we take this time to care for one another. For in our stressed-out, endlessly competitive lives in a culture that increasingly values what we have over who we are, Joys and Concerns is a rare time for sharing not what is on our minds but what is in our hearts, not what is happening in our lives but what is changing our lives.
When it comes to the joys, we want to hear about the new child or the new job — or the milestone of a major birthday or wedding anniversary. When it comes to the concerns, we really want to hear about the family death, the loss of a job, or the illness of a sick friend whose name we should keep in our hearts. We want to know what is truly changing your life, what it is that is transforming you such that, in the sharing, it can transform everyone who hears you, too.
And that's because, when all is said and done, we are here to be transformed, to transform one another and our world. Congregations, more than any other social institutions, exist to change lives. Sunday services, religious education, small group programs, social events and even committee meetings are all means that serve the end purpose of transformation. Our members and friends also pledge their financial support of our mission and ministry to change lives, from growing our individual souls and nurturing the life of the community to building the world we dream about.
On Sunday mornings, you'll hear not only the joys and sorrows that are changing people's lives, but also personal testimonials about how the Fellowship is changing lives. These are stories of individual transformation and community deepening as well as stories of how we are changing the world for the better. So, how have you been transformed? What is your story of how your life has been changed by being a part of the congregation? What is your story of how our Fellowship is helping to make the world a better place? We want to know what is truly changing your life, what it is that is transforming you such that, in the sharing, it can transform everyone who hears you, too.

Cherokee Purple Tomato
At a Glance Info
Light: Full Sun - Partial Shade
Water: Medium
Soil type/pH: Loamy♦ with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8 (weakly acidic)
Spacing: 3 to 4 ft. apart
Height/Length: 5 to 9 ft. tall

♦See 2nd paragraph in next section.
More Information
The Cherokee Purple tomato plant is an annual, heirloom, open pollinated variety of Solanum lycopersicum (tomato plant) that should be planted when at least 6 inches tall. It is important that you do not plant nightshades in the same location each year. Tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant are all nightshades. If planting when 6-12 inches tall, plant to almost bottom branches; if plant is over 1 foot tall, remove the bottom branches with a sharp blade or pruners and plant up to where the branches were or slightly higher.
Dig holes for planting twice the width of the pot. If your plant came in a biodegradable pot, click here for biodegradable pot instructions. The Cherokee Purple tomato plant should be planted in moist soil; it will have higher yield in loamy soil, but should be fine in most good quality soil. Unless your soil already has fertilizer, use a small amount of tomato or all purpose fruit and vegetable fertilizer at time of planting. Begin fertilizing according to package instructions once plant is established.

General Daily Insight for March 27, 2020
Though restless energies are stirring, we are still able to express ourselves with eloquence and grace as the Moon makes a smooth sextile to silver-tongued Mercury in Pisces at 5:03 am EDT. Our visions are beautiful and vivid and today we can share these important insights with others in an effective way. Identifying what is most valuable to us and communicating these dreams gives them a sense of worth and purpose and can even help us garner support. Our deepest desires deserve to see the light of day.
March 21-April 19
Your subconscious mind may bless you with a soothing message today about something or someone dear to you. Though you typically think of yourself as independent, consider the possibility that you do, in fact, rely on certain resources, even other people. Recognizing your role as one of interdependence and mutual value can help you see not only your own worth, but the vital contributions of others as well. Honoring these valuable connections with a few kind words of recognition and appreciation can help solidify and sustain them.
April 20-May 20
Your feelings are strong and true while the Moon continues to move through your reliable sign, adding a new level of authenticity to your overall presence. You shine in your social circle now and could gain a lot of pleasure by connecting with friends or acquaintances in some way for conversation and laughter. Your added assuredness is disarming to them and can even encourage these people to be themselves more fully. When you're not distracted by doubt you can focus fully on pleasure and creating deep, engaging interactions.
May 21-June 20
The universe has your back in any communication endeavors you have on your plate today thanks to the Moon's supportive sextile to communicative Mercury in your 10th House of Authority. Whether it's corresponding with coworkers or having an important phone call scheduled with an influential person or group, prepare by first taking a moment to become fully present in your own mind and body. Then, trust your instincts about the best way to present yourself and your information. Your internal awareness sets the tone for your external experience.
June 21-July 22
Your big plans for some form of self-expansion could really start to take shape. While the Moon in your 11th House of Networks is making a sextile to communicative Mercury in your 9th House of Horizons, sharing your lofty dreams may bring great support from your social circle. By discussing your hopes to broaden your interests and knowledge with your friends, someone may realize they can help you take the next steps. The encouragement you receive now can boost your confidence and open doors of opportunity.
July 23-August 22
Bringing your A-game to the work you do today can only improve your standing. Establishing a reputation of reliability and capability helps others feel confident in collaborating with you. This faith can make people more willing to donate additional time, money, or effort toward your endeavors to help you reach success. If you are currently in any contract negotiations, continue to look them over and rework the agreement until it suits your needs. Stand up for your share and hold out until you're truly comfortable with the terms.
August 23-September 22
A sense of adventure is pulling at you as the Moon continues to move through your 9th House of Exploration. Today, you may be discussing plans to pursue a new hobby or expand your horizons in some way with someone close to you. Or, maybe this conversation is about growing your relationship or business in some way. Joining forces to embark on a big endeavor can be very advantageous now. Even if this is just the planning phase, talking about this venture together is a meaningful step toward making it happen.
September 23-October 22
You may notice a collective interest in your personal well-being today as the Moon in your 8th House of Sharing forms a kindly sextile to communicative Mercury in your 6th House of Health and Daily Affairs. Perhaps you feel like others really mean it when they ask you how you are doing and that they listen sincerely to your reply. Answer honestly and they may be able to lend advice or a helping hand. Accept these supportive offerings with grace and be grateful for this opportunity to connect.
October 23-November 21
Exciting currents of creativity, romance, and expression flow into your close relationships today, bringing fresh waves of happiness. Sharing good times and lighthearted conversation can truly strengthen special bonds now. Or, you may use this influx of innovative energy to get moving on some project you've been wanting to work on. Two heads are better than one, though, so it will pay to team up with someone who is practical, calm, and good-natured. Together, you can blast through blockages and make something of enduring joy and beauty.
November 22-December 21
Though you may be prone to floating from one thing to the next, today you could benefit from pulling back and relaxing into the familiarity of your space and routines. The soothing rhythms of home and your everyday tasks bring a curing calm to any frayed nerves. Allowing yourself to take a break may be hard when you have so many things you want to do, but it's more important than ever to do so. Pay close attention, as this could be an important lesson in not needing to be distracted to be happy.
December 22-January 19
A conversation you've been meaning to have may finally take place today while the Moon creates a helpful sextile to Mercury in your 3rd House of Communication. Starting things off with a bit of playfulness could help you release any unnecessary rigidity and lead to a more flowing discussion. There's a lot you can learn through this exchange, so loosen up your mind, body, and spirit and open yourself to giving and receiving information. Saying what you need to say is important, but so is what you hear in return.
January 20-February 18
Recognizing what you love most about your family and your domestic space helps you recognize your values and, in turn, manage your money. Home is often the most direct source of comfort and identifying what gives you these good feelings can indicate where more energy and resources should be applied. Take note of whatever it is you appreciate about your household and translate that into what you are and aren't willing to spend on. If a purchase you're considering isn't necessary and doesn't align with what matters, it's probably not worth it.
February 19-March 20
Your compassionate heart shines today and you may be the lucky recipient of appreciation and kind words, or perhaps you're the giver of such generosity. No matter how this plays out, it is a reflection of your loving spirit. If you are sensitive to the feelings of others, let them know and be there for support. In the same light, if you've been a supportive force in someone's life for a while now, you may be recognized for your heartfelt efforts. Enjoy the accolades even though, to you, giving is only natural.

CLS Return 2 Cranes from the Dominican Republic to the USA
C Logistics Solutions (CLS) are members in the Dominican Republic and have recently handled the return of 2 KD Terex HC275 cranes to the USA.
Alex Booth at CLS explains; "With the 752mw thermoelectric plant project at Punta Catalina in the Dominican Republic coming to its final stages, the heavy equipment used is now starting to be shipped back to their origins. As was the case with these Terex HC275s which were going back to their owners in the USA after almost 2 years of service in the project.
What might have been a relatively simple operation of loading out 21 x 40′ and 45′ flatbeds plus a couple of lowboys which estimated to take around 1-2 days, due to tropical rain storms and the resultant muddy conditions, there was a lot of standby time and the operations took 3 days. To add to the situation, the vessel's lay-days was brought forward by almost 3 days, so it was 'all hands to the pumps' and a second crane had to be called in to accelerate the dispatch from the project site to the pier at Rio Haina to meet the vessels new arrival time. We finally managed to deliver the last load, one of the cranes' 42mtn cabins, to the pier the night before the ship's schedule to start loading at 08:00 the following morning.
Mission completed! Now, I just have to get my wellington boots cleaned of the layers of mud stuck to them!"
Well done to C Logistics Solutions on the safe completion of a challenging project!

Your Apple Languages BREXIT GUARANTEE
Will Brexit affect my language course?
No, we don't think so – but we will guarantee that you are not affected regardless.
If you are planning on taking a language course and travelling to Europe from the UK, or vice versa, there's no need to worry!
If the EU and UK are able to reach a deal for Brexit then there will be no disruption, as we will enter a two-year period of transition.
If no deal is reached by 29th March 2019 then there might be issues regarding certain aspects of travel, but we are confident that the majority of trips to and from the EU will be able to continue as normal.
In the unlikely event that Brexit causes travel restrictions that make you unable to attend your course, we will be happy to:
- Change/postpone your language course without an additional fee.
- Refund you in full.
What about my passport?
You do not need a new passport but, as with all travel, it is recommended that you have at least six months left on your passport from your date of arrival. If a deal is reached then the transition period applies and all British passports will still be valid for European travel up to and including the date of expiry.
The latest regulations suggest that, in the event of a no-deal Brexit, holidaymakers who previously renewed their passport before it expired may need to have more than 15 months valid on their passport before they travel. This would be due to the voiding of any additional months added to the passport validity period, as Europe would only consider 10 valid years from the date of issue, regardless of the date of renewal. You can check how your passport stacks up here: www.passport.service.gov.uk/check-a-passport
What about my flight?
You will need to check different regulations with the airline you use to book your flight. However, ABTA, the UK's main travel agent body has stated:
"There is nothing to suggest that you will not be able to continue with your holiday plans after 29 March. Even in a no-deal scenario, the European Commission has said flights to and from the UK will still be able to operate."ABTA
Using your credit card for purchases over £100 also gives you added reassurance under the Consumer Credit Act.
Exchange rate fluctuations
Once a booking is made with Apple Language Courses it is secured at that price, regardless of any future fluctuations in the exchange rate. We will not charge extra for your programme if such fluctuations mean that your course is actually more expensive after you have placed your booking. This is another great reason to be reassured and to confirm your booking today!
EHIC and Travel insurance
The EHIC registered in the UK will no longer be valid in the event of a no-deal Brexit. We always advise our clients to book comprehensive travel insurance whenever they are travelling, which adds further peace of mind.
Whatever the outcome of the political process, you can be sure that your language course is in safe hands with Apple Language Courses!

WEST COVINA — A gunman shot a California Highway Patrol officer during a traffic stop in West Covina early Friday and was apprehended after a pursuit that ended in Fontana, authorities said.
The officer was hospitalized in stable condition following the 1:40 a.m. shooting along the Sunset Avenue offramp of the westbound 10 Freeway, CHP Officer Tony Polizzi said. West Covina is 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
The officer had pulled over a Cadillac Escalade containing a man and woman."During the course of the traffic stop, one of the suspects shot and struck the officer," Polizzi said.
The officer returned fire, he said.
The suspect was later determined to have been wounded by gunfire, according to the CHP, although just where that occurred was not immediately clear.The suspect was hospitalized.
After wounding the officer, the suspects fled but were quickly spotted by West Covina police officers, Polizzi said.
Police chased the SUV on multiple freeways until the pursuit came to an end with a crash at Arrow Boulevard and Citrus Avenue in Fontana, where the alleged shooter was captured, officials said.
The male suspect, whose name was not immediately released, was taken down by a K-9 unit and taken into custody by CHP officers. He was then transported to a hospital, according to Polizzi.
A search was underway for a woman who was in the car with the suspect, according to the CHP. A gun was recovered at the arrest scene.
The wounded officer, a man, was taken to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center and was reported in stable condition, according to Polizzi. Neither his name nor details about his service were immediately released.
City News Service contributed to this report.

Starting today, we will feature posts from former Baltimore Sun restaurant critic Richard Gorelick. Richard left the Sun in the summer and writes regularly for his blog gorelickingood.com. For those of you wondering what happened to the Charm City Cook, Amy Langrehr's busy independent consulting business prevents her from writing as regularly as she or we would like, but we will continue to share her posts when she has time to write them. – The Eds.
First announced last February, Loch Bar will see the light of day this coming spring. The restaurant will open in the former Lamill space at the Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore.
The hold-up was because of "engineering issues," according to a press release from the Atlas Restaurant Group (Ouzo Bay, Azumi), announcing the opening.
The 85-seat restaurant, which will be open daily with Saturday and Sunday brunch, will specialize in seafood. It will have a gigantic raw bar and large selection of craft cocktails and beer (15 draft and 50 bottles) and an ambitious whiskey selection.
Alex Smith, who co-owns the Atlas Restaurant Group with George Aligeorgas, explained the restaurant's name to be back when he first announced the project."I grew up with Loch Raven in my backyard," he said.

What to do with Monster Zucchini
It happens so easily. The busy-ness of life makes it a little hard to stay on top of what's going on in the garden. Before we know it, the basil is flowering like crazy, the tomatoes are falling over, and the zucchinis are so huge we start offering them apologetically to friends and neighbors. So many times I have been offered them myself, with an "I don't know if you can do anything with this, but if you want it, you can have it."
Well, I am of the mind to accept any offers of fresh produce or someone's "garden weeds". If it came from the earth, thank you very much, I will find something to do with it. And so, over the years, I've developed many lovely ways to use up mountains of flowering basil, (and I even use the flowers, but NOT in pesto!), overripe or green tomatoes, purslane, lamb's quarters, amaranth, and overgrown squashes. So, monster zucchini are a bit of a specialty of mine.

Why wait years to discover some of the CUCM dial plan best practices through trial and error when you can learn them right now? In this Nugget, Jeremy talks through simple and salable methods you can use to design Partitions and CSSs the right way from the onset.
Create a partition containing ALL dialable numbers
Create a partition containing BLOCKED numbers
In the CSS, place the blocked partition before the dialable partition
Partition: BLOCKED – 9.1900!, 9.1978!, 9.011!
Partition PSTN – 9.[2-9]XXXXXX, etc….
INT_CSS – BLOCKED and PSTN Partitions
A CSS can be assigned to a LINE and a DEVICE, creating one big CSS. LINE is checked 1st then down to the DEVICE.
Apply BLOCKED CSS to the LINE itself, then PSTN access on the DEVICE. Similar concept to an access list!
Create your CSS based on calling privileges, not individuals. Then assign the appropriate CSS to each set of lines + phones.
Jeremy recommends a book called 'Cisco CallManager Best Practices'.

|Teisco MJ-1
These guitars were normally sold by brokers, who usually re-branded them or had them rebadged them prior to shipment, then sold them to music stores, department stores, and even pawn shops.
I cannot describe the incredible demand for guitars and basses after the British Invasion. It was a fad, but many companies saw it as a bull guitar market and rushed in to make money.
|Teisco Factory circa 1960
By 1956 the name was changed to Nippon Onpa Kogyo Company, then in 1964 it was changed to Teisco, which most sources explain is an acronym for Tokyo Electric Instrument and Sound Company. However, according to the company founder, Mr. Kaneko, that was not the case. He simply liked the name Teisco. There was another company called Tokyo Sound Co Ltd, that built Guyatone guitars. Teisco is the name that gave the company it's recognition.
The Teisco brand lasted until 1967 when the company and assets were purchased by the Kawai Musical Instrument Company. At that time, Kawai discontinued the Teisco brand on their guitars, but kept the brand name for use on their electronic keyboards.
The original company produced guitars for domestic use. Tariffs made importing foreign instruments unreasonably expensive. The company didn't begin importing guitars to the United States and United Kingdom around 1959. Typically these instrument were re-branded Teisco Del Rey (Teisco, the King), at a time when manufactures believed adding a Spanish sounding name to a guitar. ie. Greco, Alvarez, El Degas, made the instrument more appealing.
|Silvertone branded Teisco guitars
|1967 Teisco U.S. Advertisement
Teisco guitars were affordable and sold in the twenty to one-hundred and fifty dollar range during an era when the average salary of a family in the United States was less than $5,000 a year.
In 1965 a new Fender Stratocaster cost $200, so Teisco seemed to be a great alternative for many families of budding rock stars.
|1960's Teisco made Kent
The Teisco guitar bodies were generally thinner than domestically produced guitars. The pickups were not nearly as advanced as those of U.S. guitars, and could be microphonic.
|Ry Cooder's '60 Strat
with Teisco Gold Foil Pickup
Guitarist Ry Cooder, has replaced the pickups on several of his guitars with Teisco pickups. He likes the sound,
Teisco necks were sometimes thicker, and on some the intonation was off as you went up the neck. This was probably not a problem for those who did not advance beyond 3 chord strumming.
|Teisco J-5
The hardware on these guitars was very basic. The machine heads were usually open gear style, the nut was plastic, the bridge and saddle were not tunable, and if the guitar had a tremolo unit, it was a very simple arrangement with one spring housed under a metal plate at the instruments distal end.
|Teisco Checkmate 4 pickup model
One unusual aspect of Teisco guitars were the number of pickups found on some guitars. While most guitars came with one or two pickups, some Teisco guitars had as many as four pickups.
|Model E-100
The earliest Teisco guitars were produced at a time when the Japanese market found it difficult to import US made instruments, so Japanese companies made "replica" guitars. This eventually lead to problems.
The earliest models designated for domestic use and import tended to resemble Gibson guitars. These were Spanish guitars, and Hawaiian electric guitars
|Model EO-180
By 1953 Teisco produced a series of guitars under the designation EP. These bore more of a Gibson-like shape.
|Vance Brescia with
his Teisco EP-8L
Guitarist Vance Brescia has toured with Peter Noone / Herman's Hermits for years. Brescia saw a Teisco EP-8L at a music store. It was bolted to the wall as a decoration. He purchased it and has been using it for years.
|Model J-1
In 1954, Teisco introduced a Les Paul Jr. type shape, the J-1.
|Model TG-54
The 1960's came, and Teisco guitars took on more of a Fender-like quality.
|Glen Campbell with T-60
The model T-60 was a mainstay guitar for a young studio musician named Glen Campbell.
|Model T-60
The scratch plate was made of metal, and it had 3 single coil pickups. Controls included a single volume and tone control, and a selector switch near the lower cutaway. The bridge/saddle unit was similar to the one on a Telecaster, with 3 adjustable saddles, though the strings attached to the bridges distal end.
Perhaps the most distinctive feature of this guitar were the cut-outs on the body, and the matching one on a headstock. Another unusual feature were the fret markers on the instruments rosewood neck. These looked a bit like croquet hoops, with a rectangle to mark the 12th fret.
|Model EB-1
The neck was capped in rosewood, and had small block markers on the lower edge, except the 12th fret had small block markers on both sides.
The headstock was similar to the one on a 1951 Precision bass, except it was finished in sunburst. A friend of mine owned one of these. They retailed for about $60, compared to the cost of an early 1960's Fender Precision bass, which sold for around $240.
Teisco produced many guitars, but a few that stand out from the early to mid 1960's. I saw dozens of Teisco ET-100's, and ET-200's in pawn shops back in the mid-1960's.
|Teisco ET-100
the first version
A several prior models with the same designation came out in the early 1960's, only it had a different shape that was similar to a double cutaway Gibson Melody Maker, only the lower horn was more set in. This guitar was not as elaborate, and came with a smaller metal scratchplate.
|Model ET-200
|First version ET-200
This guitar also had several prior incarnations.
As I recall the original price of an ET-100 was around fifty to sixty dollars.
|Teisco TRG-1
This was the 1964 Teisco TRG-1 which came with a "gold foil" single coil pickup, the volume and tone control were mounted on the top side of the guitar, along with a switch to turn on and off the amplifier. The amp worked on two 9 volt batteries that mounted in the rear. The 2" speaker was under the pickguard on the instrument's lower bout.
|1965 Teisco TRG-2L
|Teisco ET-440
Teisco also produced some four pickup guitars under the ET designation. The ET-440 to be precise. These had four, count 'em four pickups, and four rocker switches.
|Different versions of the Teisco ET-440
But Teisco also made other four pickup guitars under the Checkmate brand, the Norma brand, and the Kimberly brand to name a few. Some came with rocker switches, while others had simple slider switches. Some came with a single volume and tone control, while others had volume and tone controls for each pickup.
I fail to see the point of more than three pickups, but I guess it was a way to sell more guitars.
|May Queen
One of the most unusual Teisco guitars was the May Queen. Most sources date its origin in 1968. This was hollow, sort of a artists palette-shaped guitar, but with a large cutaway. This guitar was produced after Teisco was acquired by Kawai.
|May Queen
It came with twin single coil, and somewhat microphonic, pickups, and a tremolo unit. On the guitars upper side was a long cats-eye "f" hole, while the lower side had a long white pickguard that read "MayQueen, and TEISCO". On it were a volume and tone control, a thee-way selector switch similar to a Switchcraft switch, and the input.
|May Queen
The 6-on-a-side headstock had an unusual shape and its colour matched the body. The body on this guitar was very similar to the one on the 1967 solid body Vox Mando Guitar. The May Queen came in black, red, and yellow. It was a most unique design.
|Teisco Del Ray Spectrum 5
I am saving the best for last; the 1966 Teisco Del Ray Spectrum 5 guitar. Teisco had made other guitars under the Spectrum series, but the Spectrum 5 was the top-of-the-line.
The headstock was like no other up to this point. There were four tuners on one side, and two on the other. It had a very unique shape. The colour of the headstock matched the guitars body, but the headstock also had a white plastic cover that set it apart.
The bolt-on neck was capped in ebony was topped with unique position markers.
The guitars mahogany body was offset, and a total space-age take on the Fender Stratocaster. It also featured a "German carve" that made the top stand out. The top also had a 7 layer hand rubbed finish. The guitar came in blue or red.
|Spectrum 5 integral bridge
This guitar featured an "integral bridge" that moved with the vibrato to help with tonality.
|Teisco Spectrum 5 controls
The guitar's three pickups were unique, as they were split and staggered with three pole pieces on bass side, and three more on the treble side. This was because the Spectrum 5 was a stereo guitar.
|Teisco Spectrum 5 - 2 inputs for stereo
Teisco was acquired by Kawai guitars in 1967. By then Teisco had built over 1 million guitars. Kawai did maintain the Teisco brand name until 1969 on imported instrument, but kept the Teisco brand it on guitars sold in Japan through 1977. Guitars built and imported after 1969 seemed to lose the originality of the original Teisco instruments, and became copies of popular instruments.

Six lions have been slaughtered by angry villagers outside Tarangire National Park in western Arusha, Tanzania, tainting Tanzania's reputation as one of the remaining world's lions' safe heaven.
Nearly 100 furious Olasiti villagers at Minjingu area shot down two lions and speared to death four others in retaliation following the stray lions allegedly attacking and marauding three donkeys in a kraal (an enclosure for cattle or other livestock).
Natural Resources and Tourism Minister Lazaro Nyalandu said the government was shocked and saddened by the incident, saying law enforcers had launched a manhunt in search of ringleaders behind the mass killing of the lions.
"This mass killing of lions casts a bleak future for our wildlife treasure," Mr. Nyalandu stressed.
He pleaded with communities bordering the protected areas to refrain from taking the law into their own hands.
"Whenever human-wildlife conflicts emerge, they should report to authorities," Nyalandu stressed.
Nkaiti Ward Councilor Mr. Simon Abel said over the phone that the battle between villagers and stray lions also left four villagers injured by the lions, some seriously.
The villagers nursing their wounds at Monduli District Hospital were Jackson Mediutieki, Loserian Tobiko, Lebahati Korudini, Jackson Mrefu, and Msee Simon.
The Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO) Chairman, Mr. Willy Chambullo, condemned the mass killing of lions in the strongest terms possible, saying wildlife conservation was everybody's responsibility.
"Our hearts are bleeding. I wish the villagers should have asked us to compensate for their donkeys rather than slaughter the rare animals," Mr. Chambullo explained.
TATO CEO Sirili Akko said that unfortunate incident demonstrates the communities do not see the value of wildlife.
"We need to come together - public and private sectors - so that we can strategize how best we can educate the local people adjacent to protected areas to coexist with wildlife in harmony," Mr. Akko explained.
There has been a "catastrophic fall" in the number of lions in the wildlife-rich Tanzania in the last decade, thanks to the retaliation killings.
A recent survey indicates that the Tarangire-Manyara ecosystem, a key country lions' refuge, has been losing an average of 25 lions annually in the period under review.
Findings by the Tarangire Lion Project show 226 lions have been slaughtered between 2004-2013 for marauding livestock.
Dr. Bernard Kissui - a leading lion researcher - warned over the extinction of the entire big cats population and hurting a $1.9 billion tourism industry, if affirmative actions are not taken.
Lions are one of Africa's big five animals in which Tanzania, just as any other African countries with abundant wildlife, has been using them as a major tourism marketing tool to attract tens of thousands of eager tourists each year.
Others are elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffalos.
"Retaliation killing of lions is a silent but real threat to lion populations in the Tarangire–Manyara ecosystem where incidences of livestock keepers spearing and poisoning them have been recorded," Dr. Kissui said.
The worst lion mass killing was in 2009 where over 26 lions were slaughtered by angry-villagers near Tarangire National Park.
Official estimates show that there are between 15,000-16,000 lions surviving mostly in national parks and game reserves with a smaller population in unprotected areas.
This is the largest population in Africa and about 40 percent of the total population of remaining lions in the world.
Kishimay Ndalepoi, one of the Maasai villagers, said the lion was considered a great enemy in the Maasai community.
"Wherever the Maasai encounter a lion, the only thing which comes up in his or her mind is killing it," said Ndalepoi, adding that a lion is an enemy, which could kill human beings or livestock.
Available records show that the entire Tarangire-Manyara ecosystem faces a massive declining of wildlife populations due to an intolerable growth of human population coupled with ever-increasing demand for land uses that is not compatible with conservation interests.
Various studies indicate that there has been a constant increase of unsustainable exploitation of natural resources and land uses such as cultivation, overgrazing, charcoal burning, and settlements within the wildlife routes and corridors flaring human-wildlife conflicts.
Conservationists argue that such detrimental impacts of human activities have since been felt on core areas, as well as foraging grounds, breeding sites, dispersal areas, wildlife migratory routes, and corridors.
The consequence of this, experts say in a study, is a growing threat of land degradation and fragmentation, which slowly but surely is putting the Tarangire-Manyara ecosystem at risk of becoming an ecological island.
By implications in the long run, the entire ecosystem will see a massive declining of wildlife populations, genetic erosion,n and species extinction.
In additional, the security of the resident animals in fragmented habitats becomes uncertain, because once squeezed into small patches, animals cannot easily escape from their enemies, like predators and human influence.
Since no wildlife protected area can be a self-contained ecological unit, core areas linking Tarangire National Park with other wildlife protected areas and habitats should remain intact for the park to maintain its reputation as an important biodiversity hot spot.
Deogratius Gamassa, a renowned-conservationist and the former Principal for African Wildlife Management College-Mweka, is on record as saying the eviction of the people within the Tarangire-Manyara ecosystem and the two parks expansion were two possible options.

Egor Nashilov, Editor
One of the questions asked by our clients frequently is how we calculate the cost of our services. After all, on their side the process of translation and localization seems simple — they just send the document and get it back in another language. But it's all a bit more complicated than it appears. Let's take a look at what affects the final cost of a translation.
Like with any trade or service, translators work by the economic principle of supply and demand. In most cases, the following factors affect the final cost: the language pair, theme, deadline, required layout and additional services.
Simply put: the more unusual the combination, the higher the price. Translating a text from English to German is much simpler and less expensive than from Māori to Onandaga — the former is offered more readily, and the competition is therefore greater.
This is indirectly linked to the level of language proficiency. Services of a native speaker will always cost more than those of a specialist who studied the language in a college. At the same time, due to differences in the average wages, the work of a Swedish linguist will be several times more expensive than the services of his colleagues from India.
But it's not enough for a translator to speak a language well — it's important to understand the client's industry. If you produce high-tech parts for space telescopes, which are only understood by 1,000 people in the whole world, finding a competent contractor will be complicated. The price of translation in this case will be higher than, for example, for an online clothing store.
The urgency of a translation or localization order can significantly increase the price tag. The average output of one translator is typically within 7-8 pages of text per day (and it might be fewer for complicated technical documents). Of course, for a rush job a translator might get through 20 pages, but whether it would be a high-quality translation is a different question. Therefore, the larger and more urgent the order, the more translators must be involved in the process to spread the load — and the longer the bill for their work.
Layout and design for different languages also affect the cost. Images with text, lists and hard-coded headers make processing a document difficult.
Facebook in Arabic
The target language can also factor into the price of layout (and the final cost of service). Hebrew or Arabic text, which is written right to left, is more difficult to arrange attractively on a page than English or even Chinese. It is also more difficult to work with languages like Vietnamese, where diacritic marks can be found simultaneously above and below letters.
There are additional services that are negotiated and paid for separately. For example, software, service, video game, and website localization might include adaptations to the realities of the target market to better match consumer expectations.
Additional services also include localization testing, which can be used to make sure that the localized version of the service or product does not have annoying bugs or line breaks.
Video and multimedia localizations often include additional costs related to voiceover or subtitling.
In localization, there's a standard by which any translation firm operates: TEP (translation, editing, proofreading). It means that any document will normally go through three stages:
During every step, a project manager is responsible for directing the team's workflow. It's the project manager's job to communicate with the client and ensure that materials proceed from one stage to the next accurately and on time. Ideally, the process involves four people, not including layout designers, software testers or other specialists that may be required in the scope of a project. Each involved specialist increases the total cost.
Let's look at an example.
You are offered TEP from English to Mandarin Chinese at the rate of $14 per page.
Is that a reasonable price?
The average cost for translation services in this language pair is normally around $0.04 per word. The cost of an editor is 60% that of a translator, so let's say $0.025. Proofreaders go for about $0.005 per word. Therefore, the net cost for the job not accounting for profit margins or other services is $0.07 per word.
An average A4 page fits 250 English words, therefore you are being offered a service at a price much cheaper than the net cost.
This means that such service provider must be cutting costs somehow: using machine translation, not editing the text, or using underqualified employees.
If you are offered TEP for a price lower than the net cost, this offer might not be entirely honest. Each specialist's services cost a certain amount of money, and your text will most likely skip some of the necessary steps.
Nowadays, people involved in the translation industry are accustomed to setting rates based on "effective" (unique) words rather than the number of pages. This is due in part to the fact that a page might be blank or have only two lines of text. In this case a client does not have to pay extra, and the contractor can work better knowing the precise word count.
The effective word count is also related to the use of CAT systems (computer-assisted translation), which keep a history of a client's previous texts. For example, after working on a large text about oil production, translating the next document will be simpler: the system will automatically translate any segments that are "the same as before".
CAT interface
Of course, translators double-check whether a phrase fits organically in context before using a hint, but it is still much faster than translating from scratch. Therefore, repeating segments are usually billed at a discount — the higher the percentage of matches, the lower the cost of the translation.
It may be the case that a client is not concerned with a high-quality translation — for example when the text is guaranteed not to have a wide audience or will not leave the boundaries of the company. In such cases, one can resort to a few tricks that will help save some cash:
As you can see, there are many factors that influence the final price tag. That's why localizers often cannot give a fixed price for their services and have to calculate the cost on a case-by-case basis, depending on the client's requests and the goal of the project.

Not everyone succeeds at everything they set out to do in life. There are various things we can't lose though, such as a battle with cancer. Arm yourself with the right cancer-fighting information by reading the article below.
With cancer, early detection is important and will increase the chance of cure. Visit your physician and schedule regular screenings for cancer so that you can detect any signs of cancer as soon as it forms. Early detection is critical in fighting this disease. For cancers such as those of the breast and testes, make sure that you do monthly self-exams so that you can notice anything out of the ordinary.
Before starting treatment, you should first learn about what types of changes you can expect to encounter. Your physician will usually warn you about any side effects from the drugs or treatments you are due to receive. Your hair and complexion might change: think about wearing makeup and getting a wig.
You should know about chemicals on vegetable and fruits that may be harmful. Pesticides are used to prevent insects and other issues from causing destruction to the crops. Before you consume any fruits or vegetables, wash them thoroughly to rid them of poisons. You can also buy foods that are advertised to have less pesticides.
There are lots of individuals out there that have antiquated notions when it comes to cancer. You might hear people say that cancer is a contagious condition or that it keeps you from working. Try your best not to get angry, and strive to be honest and open.
Sodas and other sugary drinks can increase your chances of getting cancer, so stop drinking them. You can gain a lot of weight from all of the carbohydrates and excessive calories you intake, which can also lead to cancer manifesting and growing in your body.
People who have cancer often find that their disease brings more positive people into their lives. Your medical team will feature an oncologist, your doctor and nurses and your emotional support team will include friends and family, as well as support group members. You can't do this alone; be ready to allow people into your life to help.
What you think is going to happen, and what truly manifests, are often two different animals. Make the best of the support that you receive.
If you proactively participate in your treatments, you will be more effective in combating cancer, than just passively letting your doctors treat you. Do not mentally step back from what is going on around you. This will not help your condition improve.
Dealing with cancer is easier when you have people to talk to, so support groups with people who are sharing the same struggles can be very beneficial. The Internet has an abundance of resources, such as support groups, forums and websites, so that you can find the right support system. These groups and websites are very helpful because they give cancer patients a chance to interact, share experiences and vent about common frustrations.
The battle against cancer isn't something we can allow ourselves to give up on. It is a matter of life and death.

Activities and capabilities past, present and future:
General Communications
Identification of phone calls to any target telephone number no matter from which country they originate. Specific Russian and American phones are said to have been targeted. It was calculated that in 1992 the NSA's collection system generated about 2 million intercepted messages per hour. Of these, all but about 13,000 and hour were discarded. Of these about 2,000 met forwarding criteria, of which some 20 are selected by analysts, who then write 2 reports for further distribution. Thus it intercepted 17.5 billion messages, 17.5 million of which may have been studied for analysis.
Space Communications
Transmission and receipt of communications and photographic images from space. This will help the US Space Command in its mission to 'see' and 'hear' everything on the planet and enable laser weapons to be able to reach anywhere on the earth within a target area of about six feet.
Classified Projects/Codes
Moonpenny - a system of radio dishes intercepting communications from foreign satellites.
Silkworth - main processing system for intercepted information, a grouping of super computers, including the Magistrand system believed to be linked into the ECHELON network.
Runway - array of dishes directing and communicating with US satellites, including the Vortex satellites operating over Europe and much of Asia.
