Editing video under Linux
There are a few options for editing video under Linux, ranging from the simple to the complicated. Some are command line tools that require fairly intimate knowledge of codecs and the like, and some are GUI applications which can be used to generate fairly professional results.
There is a common misconception regarding Kino, that it will only read/use dv files. This in fact is not true and Kino can use AVI files. Below is a mencoder command line, which will take video files and convert them for use in the Kino.
{{{mencoder -oac mp3lame -ovc xvid -of avi -xvidencopts bitrate=1350 -o output.avi input.flv }}}
In this example, the input file was an flv video from YouTube, but the principle should be the same for any video file you wish to use. You will need to have the lame package installed, as well as the mencoder package to be able to use this.
After this you will be able import video files into Kino
Note, on first running of Kino, you must select a Normalisation preference in the preference box, either PAL or NTSC. Otherwise Kino will refuse to import an video file.
Cinelerra is a semi-professional piece of video editing software. Although it isn't in the ubuntu repos, there are pacakges for i386 which can be built and used on Ubuntu Edgy. Go to the address below and download all the files listed, into a new directory. I'm going to use ~/cine/
Now we must rebuild the Packages.gz file as it seems to be broken a little here.
First, delete the other Packages and Packages.gz files, then run the following from ~/
{{{dpkg-scanpackages cine /dev/null | gzip cine/Packages.gz }}}
After this, add the following line, substituting ~/ for your actual hardcoded path, to the /etc/apt/sources.list file
{{{deb file:/home/pete cine/ }}}
After this run apt-get update, and the apt-get install cinelerra and you should be able to run cinelerra from the terminal.

The Story Grid is a tool for critiquing and conceptualizing a manuscript. Focusing on the thriller genre and using The Silence of the Lambs as a case study, Coyne lays out a formula for structuring and sequencing an effective story. A literal how-to manual for the thriller writer.
Let me tell you five things that blew me away about his book.
- Coyne spells out the obligatory scenes and conventions that form the backbone of a thriller.
- He provides a page-at-a-glance template for outlining the progression of your story (The Foolscap Global Story Grid).
- He walks you through the construction of a completed Story Grid that tracks all of the unfolding elements of your novel to let you see where it may have gone awry.
- He breaks out the number of pages/chapters/scenes that belong in the Beginning Hook, Middle Build and Ending Payoff sections of a novel (and explains why).
- He analyzes the values that drive the external and internal genres of a story and shows how they interrelate.
And if that isn't enough, Coyne even gives his stuff away. All of his materials are available as freebies on his website, www.storygrid.com But I may sleep with his book under my pillow and try to absorb all I can. If you are a novelist, you'll want to check out The Story Grid. And if you write thrillers, you can't afford not to!

This is a continuation of a four part article that explains how a few of the sincere, well-meaning teachers, as well as many of the "channelers", in the "New Age" community are actually "the blind leading the blind." The various kinds of deceptions encountered are carefully explained so that you can have better discernment sorting out the reliable New Age teachings and activities, from the fraudulent ones. This article also touches upon the role of lower astral forces in causing some illnesses, including aspects of some mental illnesses, as well as their role in distorting religions. - Bill Gaum
* * *
The different causes and treatments of the various kinds of mental illnesses are an extremely complex subject. Yet, there is one area of mental illness that can be treated relatively easily. The Arisen Ones teach that health care professionals will someday learn that many of the people who are considered to be "mentally ill" have simply, in one way or another, inadvertently opened themselves up to dangerous astral forces. Pearl knew that this is why "mentally disturbed" people are often seeing and hearing things that no one else does. And as they become more and more under the control of these deceitful, malevolent forces they have a harder and harder time distinguishing between normal physical reality and psychic-astral illusions.
As we all know, "maya" or the illusions associated with "normal physical reality" can be hard enough to figure out, without adding the devious tricks of the psychic realm. And as the clarity of thought of these unfortunate individuals sufficiently diminishes, the discarnate human beings who are fooling them, begin telling them to do all kinds of "crazy," self-destructive things. Naturally, when these duped individuals start acting in strange ways, people think that something is wrong with them. This is extremely frustrating for the "mentally ill" person, because they feel that they are just doing what they are "told" to do. The longer a person is under the influence of these astral forces the further distorted their lives and thinking generally become and the more they are controlled by these forces. This can become so extreme that they completely cease to know the difference between "normal reality" and the astral deceit in which they are rapidly becoming more and more enmeshed and controlled by.
Fortunately, a great many of these unhappy people can be easily helped. The first essential is to patiently and compassionately explain to them how these psychic deceptions work. Next, it is imperative that they stop listening to all inner voices, visions, and promptings. Then they need to be encouraged to begin praying for divine protection and inspiration, while once again starting to make their own decisions in life by using common sense. Gradually after a few months or years go by, and they become clear of this dark influence, they can begin learning to discern the difference between genuine heart-felt feelings, and the pseudo-divine feelings coming through their solar plexus. But it is essential that they not seek manifestations in any way, or they can get right back into the deceptions again. Interestingly, it is oftentimes very sensitive, caring, highly spiritual people who open up to these astral influences. In fact, it is their exceptional sensitivity – which normally allows them to naturally follow their hearts – which can become a curse if they begin to seek manifestations; or if they associate with people who are involved in psychic-astral activities; or if perhaps they are living impure lives. And since they do not understand what is going on, they need our help.
The role of psychic deception in mental illness could fill a book in itself. One of the more obvious astral influences in mental illnesses are the murderers who hear frightening inner voices urging them to commit their horrible crimes. This is a lot more common than most people realize. In a similar category are the people who commit suicide because they are unable to get these suicidal thoughts and feelings out of their minds. Pearl taught that it is a great mistake for anyone to take their own life, because they will simply have to return again in another embodiment to face the very same lessons they are trying to avoid in this life. She also explained that as we approach the end of this "Age," the discord in the world would in many ways appear to get worse. In part, this is because the dark forces within the psychic realm are having their last, all-out assault on humanity before they are forever dissolved as we come into the New Age. Thus, murders and suicides are increasing as a result of inner voices silently, or audibly, urging people on to these insidious actions. These terrible self-destructive activities also highlight the "values" and the true intent of the astral-psychic realm. No matter how benevolent and beautiful the beings and thought-forms in the psychic realm may first appear to be, their intention is to ultimately destroy us and all life on earth. Fortunately, our Ascended Sisters and Brothers have assured us that the total annihilation of this planet is no longer possible. This is because the Arisen Ones have been able to inspire a sufficiently large number of people to maintain an adequate level of harmony in their feeling worlds. Thus, the Great Ones are now pouring through these blessed ones a great enough quantity of Light to guarantee the Victory of the Light on our little planet. The more we help out by maintaining harmony in our feelings, the greater the chance of entering the Permanent Golden Age with the least amount of destruction that usually accompanies the change of one Age, Era or "Yuga" into another.
The idea of "demons" and "demonic" influences is not new. Every one of the world's major religions has something to say about invisible malevolent beings who try to influence humanity. In the Bible, Jesus is occasionally shown "casting" these "familiar spirits" out of the people who are possessed by them. For example, in Matthew 9:32-33, it says:
. . . a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus. And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel."
Our Ascended Sisters and Brothers tell us that some of these "demons" are nothing more or less than cruel, discarnate human beings who are temporarily stuck in the astral-psychic realm, until it is time for them to come into their next physical embodiment. These discarnates may also be accompanied, influenced, and empowered by the temporary, humanly created discordant "thought-forms" which also dwell in the astral realm. As was mentioned earlier, the ancient Hindu texts refer to these fiendish beings as "rakshasas." In addition, the term, rakshasa, can also refer to a person who is still in embodiment, who is either consciously using black magic or who has demonic tendencies.
It may be helpful at this point to remind the reader, that despite the fact that the sinister force still temporarily exists and is extremely dangerous, the Arisen Ones tell us that in reality there is no such thing as an all-powerful evil "being" known as the "Devil" or "Satan." The Great Ones want us to realize once and for all that the so-called "devil" is actually nothing more or less than the personification of all the misqualified energy that all of us human beings have put into the astral plane whenever we were acting selfishly, angrily, or discordantly. And remarkably, it is this same miserable humanly-created sinister force which has deliberately created and sustained the "Devil" or "Satan" myth in order to scare us into thinking that the forces of darkness are more powerful than they really are. Thus, it is to our advantage to understand that the "Devil," or "Satan," does not really exist. On the other hand, it is absolutely vital to know that the forces of darkness do exist on this planet, although fortunately, their existence will soon come to a timely end. And amazingly enough, as has been mentioned earlier, it too has its purpose. Because, as we turn away from its self-destructive promptings and temptations, and strive with all our heart, mind, and strength, to become gentle, kind, and selfless, it is literally driving us straight into the arms of our Mother-Father GOD. Which is a pretty good arrangement, since this is where we want to be going in the first place. And remember, it is we human beings who created this sinister force in the first place through thoughts and feelings of anger, fear, selfishness, etc. And it is we who will un-create it through forgiveness and loving kindness.
In this same vein, as the reader may recall, Sai Baba and the Arisen Ones tell us that there is no such place as "hell," where people are damned to suffer for all eternity. However, our Ascended Friends point out that people who have been particularly discordant, may discover that in between embodiments they may have some short, but educational, stays in the lower astral realm where they experience their own self-created, misqualified emotional/thought-forms. And the Great Ones assure us that this is not fun. But even this is not for punishment. Rather it is a self-created karmic "purging" process that helps to cleanse them of some of their erroneous ways. This is why the astral-psychic realm is sometimes referred to as "purgatory." But with all the help that is now pouring into this planet from Great Cosmic Beings who are preparing us to enter the Permanent Golden Age, we have to be pretty depraved to get stuck in the psychic-astral/purgatory plane. And fortunately for all of us, this sad temporary realm will soon cease to exist as this planet enters the Permanent Golden Age.
Pearl cautioned us that even though there is no such thing as a "devil," nor a "hell," where human beings will burn forever, we still need to be very careful of the humanly created sinister force – especially its clever deceptions. One of its biggest hoaxes has been to persuade us human beings into believing that somehow humanity is not responsible for all the pain, suffering, cruelty, wars, torture, and imperfection on this planet. But we are! It is certainly not our Divine Mother-Father's fault. We can not even blame some great evil being. We can only blame ourselves. It is not that there have not been black magicians or other sinister people. There have been, including some who acquired significant spiritual powers, before they failed on the pathway of mastery and intentionally began misusing their powers to harm humanity. And our Arisen Friends tell us that some of these individuals have done a great deal of harm. In fact, Saint Germain explains that there was at one time a being who "turned aside from the path [of Light], after having at one time gained tremendous power in the Light, who ended up doing an enormous amount of harm, and that this is how the Satan myth got started in the first place. And even though this being was temporarily a very effective black magician, it in no way had the kind of powers so often attributed to the "Devil."
Thus, it is imperative to remember that it is we human beings who created the astral plane, with its vast quantities of misqualified energy, in the first place. If we had behaved ourselves, there would not have been such a realm. Nor would there have been any misqualified energy for a destructive discarnate person to use to perpetrate these kinds of deceptions on us. Pearl assured us that it is our fault that imperfection exists on our beautiful Mother Earth which our Divine Parent created for us, and it is time we took responsibility for cleaning it up.
The powers of darkness have also done everything they can to keep us from understanding the "Law of Karma" – the "Law of Cause and Effect." As has been shared earlier, Jesus explains this law as:
A man reaps what he sows.
The last thing the psychic plane wants us to know, is that each one of us, by our own past actions, has been the creator of most of our own life experiences here on earth – regardless of whether these experiences are pleasant or unpleasant. The sinister force does not want us to realize this, because once we truly begin to understand this Divine Law of Cause and Effect, then we will see that it is in our own best interest to be loving and kind to each other, even if it is for no other reason than for assuring our own future happiness. The Law of Karma is so simple and straightforward that even a child can understand it. Yet, the astral realm has been remarkably successful in convincing us that we are all somehow "victims" of forces beyond our control - sometimes we are, but usually these kinds of experiences are karmic ones. Thus, for our own good, and the future happiness of ourselves and our planet, it would be helpful to more fully understand the Goddess of Loving Charity when she says:
What you pour forth, what you radiate into the world, comes back to you amplified many fold.
What could be simpler? It has been staring us in the face all the time. It is only the time delay between our actions and their consequent effects that prevents us from seeing that we are the real cause of most of things we experience. Because of this time delay, and our subsequent lack of awareness of how the Law of Karma works, we are fooled over and over again by astral forces into believing that we are "victims of injustice." In this way it can trick us into feeling the horribly toxic and self-destructive emotions of resentment and rage towards the various circumstances which seem to be "victimizing" us. It even tries to get us to hate our Divine Mother-Father for putting us into such a "cruel world." So, instead of us learning through direct experience that it is never right to pour forth discord towards someone or something, the psychic realm tricks us into responding with even more anger and hatred against these apparent "injustices" which are usually self-caused. Consequently, our misqualified emotions once again sow the seeds of painful, karmic lessons later in our lives. It is no wonder that Pearl stressed that it is absolutely vital that we realize, understand, and accept the truth that each one of us is the principle creator of our own past, present, and future experiences, regardless of whether they are happy or sorrowful.
As we begin to understand how the Law of Cause and Effect works, it is vital that we do not fall for still another ruse of the dark force. And that is to say to ourselves, "Well, that person is suffering because of their own actions, therefore I will not help them out." Yes, it is usually true that if someone is suffering it is probably the result of their own previous actions, whether in this lifetime or a former one. But Quan Yin also showed us the divine way of lifting our sisters and brothers out of this quagmire of mostly self-caused pain and suffering. It is through compassion, forgiveness and love. Thus, the only way all of humanity is going to be lifted out of this vicious cycle, is if those of us who are beginning to understand the Higher Laws, begin to work with loving kindness, caring and forbearance towards our fellow human beings. Only with patience, compassion, and endurance, can we help to raise them out of mistakes which are often similar to those we ourselves have made earlier in our own life-streams. So it is at our own risk that we ignore the apparent injustices in our culture, or let discord become rampant in the world. Instead, with all the love of our beings we must help these sisters and brothers out of this seemingly endless chain of cause and effect.
In fact, Sai Baba and our Arisen Sisters and Brothers explain that the cure for all of our social and cultural problems is simply maintaining harmony in our feelings at all times as we selflessly work to help each other throughout the world. If we maintain harmony in the feelings, then the pure Christ-Atmic-Buddhic Light that is continually pouring through us can gradually correct all the conditions of imperfection as we work to help others who are less fortunate than ourselves. The Arisen Ones assure us that if we do this, while serenely pouring forth love and forgiveness, we will be absolutely astonished at how fast this planet will come into the Permanent Golden Age!
To learn how similar errors have affected the world's religions,
please go to Part 4: "How Do Religions Become Distorted?"
· There are plenty of good reliable spiritual people in the New Age community, but be careful of those who are the "blind leading the blind".
· Use common sense as well as our hearts in discerning the genuineness of "miraculous" occurrences.
· Avoid "channelers" and self-proclaimed "psychics."
· The more a spiritual activity solicits money, the less likely that it is being handled in a pure and genuine manner.
· Do not seek manifestation.
· Not all "spiritual healings" are what they seem to be.
· Some forms or aspects of mental illnesses results from lower astral influences.
· Do not be fooled those by who say that we need to "embrace" the darkside in order to be "whole." We are Children of LIGHT! And our destiny is to become Ascended Masters of pure Universal LIGHT and Loving Kindness like Jesus, the Buddha, Blessed Mary, Quan Yin, Saint Germain and so many others!

Stark County will spend more than $4 million on its capital projects this year.
CANTON Stark County commissioners on Wednesday approved a $4.01 million capital projects budget, which includes replacing three elevators at the County Office Building.
The project is expected to take place later this year at a cost of $1.4 million.
Stark County Administrator Brant Luther and the commissioners have discussed the upgrade for more than a year. Chris Nichols, the county's director of management and budget, said the elevators are about 50 years old. They have parts that are difficult to replacement, wires in the control boxes that are becoming brittle and they're increasingly difficult to maintain, Nichols said.
Nichols said the state has certified the elevators as safe, but a consultant had recommended the county replace them. The elevators bounce slightly when stopping at a floor.
Nichols said that county agencies submitted $16 million in funding requests, but the county could only afford to spend about $4 million.
The commissioners also approved funding for:
$255,800 for the Stark County prosecutor to finish projects from 2018, which include painting offices, replacing carpet and minor renovations.
$20,000 to fund a study on how to expand the county coroner's morgue's space.
More than $500,000 to the Stark County Sheriff's office to fund two new cruisers and a new fire suppression system.
$100,000 for renovations of the 5th District Court of Appeals' courtroom.
$223,672 for the Stark County Common Pleas Court for upgraded courtroom technology.
$100,000 for the Stark County Board of Elections for office furniture, equipment to make polling places more accessible to people with disabilities, an IT file server; cybersecurity improvements, security cameras and other items.
$125,000 for parking lot repairs.
$540,000 for the county's IT center to explore relocating its staff or renovating the IT center, new software and equipment.

A Bug's Life and Fabulous Fungi
posted by Ian Lewis in Club Meetings
Now how about that for an amazing evening then! It's last Wednesday I'm talking about when we were visited by Andy Sands with two of his presentations 'A Bug's Life' and 'Fabulous Fungi'.
Now this is a man who is not only passionate about his wildlife photography but who has an awesome encyclopaedic knowledge of what he's photographing. Each image is given a full description with the lifestyle and habits of each creature - all without a single note to hand! Amazing! And as if that wasn't enough - he knows all the Latin names too!! (what's Latin for Alan Copeland I wonder???)
So we started by learning all about the creepy crawlies around us. Absolutely superb images and interesting and detailed descriptions. We now know that every species of bee and wasp has its own predator ...... which has its own predator .... and so on! Fascinating how many survive considering the number of them that are eaten alive by some other creature's maggots!! (please don't read this whilst having dinner). Then we learnt about the fungi that are around us. Again great images - each a work of art on its own! Andy apparently uses photo stacking (which we are all familiar with courtesy of our own David Dare) in order to make sure there's front to back sharpness and that background detail is minimised. He did say how many photos are taken to produce one finished image - can't remember - but it was an enormous amount!
A superb evening - thanks Andy for coming to share your work with us - and we look forward to seeing you again in the not-too-distant future!

Voicing Eleanor Roosevelt for "The Quiet Philanthropist: The Edith Gaylord Story"
Voicing impressions and characters is one of my favorite things to do, as it requires truly stepping outside of the norm and making another person or character come to life. And when it's asked of me…AND the producers are thrilled with the performance, what a rush!
That's exactly what happened in the case of "The Quiet Philanthropist: The Edith Gaylord Story", a historical documentary, directed by the talented Bryan Beasley, and premiering at the deadCenter Film Festival in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on June 13th, 2014.
The documentary is "A personal portrait about journalist and philanthropist Edith Gaylord. Edith was a ground-breaking journalist in the 1940's helping to break through the glass ceiling of the male dominated newspaper business. Later in life, Edith devoted herself to philanthropy, anonymously giving millions away to the arts and the downtrodden."
You can hear my narration of Eleanor Roosevelt reading one of her letters to Edith here:
If you happen to be in Oklahoma City on June 13th, you should check it out! You won't be disappointed!

I like to ship my prints in tubes so they arrive in the best condition possible. However, some people don't end up framing them (which helps with the flattening of the rolled print) so I'm happy to ship it with some extra cardboard and padding to ship flat. There is an extra fee for the extra materials used in the packaging of your print.
These are packaged with lots of padding to prevent from chipping/damage in transit.
If your order is a gift for someone, I'd be happy to include a small card with your message to them and leave out the purchase invoice. Just leave a message to seller during checkout.

I am beyond impressed with TheCardAisle. I needed a baby announcement card for mothers day. I simply told them what I wanted printed and that it was a mothers day card and to make it pretty and voila! They made such a beautiful card! Make sure to ask for a proof before its sent that way you can make sure it's what you want! Hope I have a reason to use them in the future!

New Delhi, Dec 12, 2018: Food-delivery platform Zomato's decision to sack the delivery guy who was caught on camera eating from parcelled food boxes has set off a huge debate on social media. As the video of the incident went viral, the company's decision to fire the employee did not make everyone happy and many sympathised with the man.
Zomato took cognizance of the matter and after an investigation confirmed that the concerned person in the video belonged to its service fleet and that the incident took place in Madurai. However, as it let its customers know that the man was removed from its service fleet, many wondered why the man ate in the first place. While some argued about its long working hours and not enough time to have a proper meal, others questioned if it could afford two square meals a day.
But there were others who thought that the company's take on the issue was correct and the man was punished as he did something that is unacceptable.

Laugh Aloud will miss this afternoon's Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The four-year-old was one of the leading contenders for the Group Two contest but trainer John Gosden has declared her a non-runner due to heat in a leg.
Laugh Aloud is owned by Godolphin, who will still be represented in the race through the Andre Fabre-trained Usherette, who is a 100/30 chance with Sky Bet.
Their revised betting is headed by 2/1 shot Qemah, who represents another top French trainer in Jean Claude Rouget, while Sir Michael Stoute's Smart Call, ridden by Ryan Moore, is next in the market at 4/1.

Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts was put on the 10-day disabled list because of a cracked bone in his left ankle.
Boston says an MRI confirmed the injury on Monday, a day after he was hurt. The injury is a non-displaced fracture and won't require surgery. He is expected to miss 10 to 14 days.
Bogaerts, a 2016 AL All-Star, left Sunday's 8-7 over Tampa Bay in the seventh inning after injuring his ankle while sliding into the Rays dugout. He was covering third base and chasing his own mishandling of a ball relayed by left fielder J.D. Martinez.
Boston says it will recall infielder Tzu-Wei Lin from Triple-A Pawtucket. Left-hander Drew Pomeranz's injury rehabilitation assignment is being transferred from Pawtucket to Double-A Portland as he comes back from a left forearm flexor strain.
Van Gundy future unknown
Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores says he's undecided about Stan Van Gundy's future with the franchise.
Van Gundy will finish his fourth season as coach and president of basketball operations on Wednesday night at Chicago. He's failed to lead Detroit to the playoffs for the third time. He formerly coached at UMass Lowell.
Cowboys add Ealy
The Dallas Cowboys have signed defensive end Kony Ealy to a one-year deal, their latest attempt to add depth to the defensive line through bargains in free agency. The 6-foot-4, 275-pound Ealy had one sack with the Jets to give him 15 in his four-year career. He had five sacks in each of his last two seasons with Carolina.
The Detroit Lions bolstered their backup options at quarterback and wide receiver. Detroit signed Matt Cassel, adding depth behind Matthew Stafford. The Lions also re-signed restricted free agent TJ Jones, giving Stafford another target in the passing game. … Police say Green Bay Packers wide receiver Trevor Davis was arrested after falsely claiming to have explosives while checking in for a flight at Los Angeles International Airport. Airport police spokesman Rob Pedregon said Davis was booked on a charge of making a false bomb threat at an airport and released with a summons to appear in court.
Kane to captain U.S. team
Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane will be the United States captain at the IIHF World Hockey Championship in Denmark next month.
USA Hockey announced Kane as its first player for the tournament after naming Jeff Blashill as head coach. Kane played for the U.S. at the 2010 and 2014 Olympics and next month will lead a strong team that includes Buffalo Sabres rookie and world junior MVP Casey Mittelstadt and possibly Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin.

Let's talk about potential members of the new Indy Car select committee that will help determine the future of the actual Indy Car. Randy Bernard talked about it on Wind Tunnel, and (this will keep the haters stocked with juvenile punch lines for a while) he has hired a General named Looney to head it up.
Indy Car issues a press release today, and the first line bothers me. It says: "As the next step in its search for the new iconic IZOD IndyCar Series CAR, the Indy Racing League has announced plans to develop an advisory committee representing key fields of the open-wheel racing industry to review research and recommend a future chassis and engine PLATFORM." The wording makes it seem as if only ONE chassis and engine will be selected. That is a fatal mistake before it even gets going. I sincerely hope they are smarter than that. We have learned in recent years not to hold our collective breath.
The committee is supposed to represent key areas and will have someone from the IRL, a team owner, an engine expert, a promoter and an engineer. For the sake of intelligence let's hope this does not become a cart III deal. If I was in Vegas and had a farm to bet, however, that is precisely the direction on which my agricultural entity would be placed. I have some ideas in the unlikely event they have not already made up their minds and are simply constructing the lip service to tongue down our throats:
-Include a fan representative for once. We pay many of the bills. Start listening.
-It is difficult to trust many at the IRL anymore so a selection of someone from there does not mean too much.
-One of the contributors to the blog yesterday thought Sarah Fisher would make a great owner representative. I happen to wholeheartedly agree. She epitomizes the grit and determination to bootstrap your way into growth, and I cannot think of a better person. She is young enough to remain around for a long time, and we need more like her in the next generation. As an added bonus, she is about the only owner fully committed to ovals. If any owner who was previously aligned with cart until anywhere in the 2000s is picked, the pool will be poisoned beyond hope. John Barnes might also be a good choice, as would someone from Dryer & Reinbold. Even A.J. Foyt would be great. I would consider Michael Andretti, but his cart baggage still gets toted and his enthusiasm for those God damned temporary street abominations clouds him as a choice.
-I love Honda, but get someone with not as narrow an agenda for the engine position.
–Eddie Gossage is the best person I can think of for the promoter slot.
-Engineering is a tricky one, but I would follow the same guidelines I offered for owners.
I really find my recent cynicism troubling, but since 1979 every possible fan group that could be alienated has been at one time or another. You cannot treat fans with contempt and expect to grow. We need to evolve toward the future, not toward cart in the mid-1990s.
-I don't know where these two might fit in, but inclusion of Eddie Cheever and Buddy Lazier seems like a great idea. They are smart and articulate and both did not have the easiest of times most of the time. Both, however, had special years.
Management by committee scares the hell out of me.

Six Sigma in Metaphor: Heresy or Holy Writ?
Abstract:Views on Six Sigma differ greatly. Some see it as the quality equivalent of a holy writ; others see it merely as smoke and mirrors. Since quality has become an extremely broad field, however, what is known about Six Sigma varies widely across the profession and from person to person. Six Sigma will eventually need to be integrated with other tools, used in nontraditional sectors, adapted, and strengthened. Energizing Six Sigma are its improvement and design approaches, DMAIC (define-measure-analyze-improve-control) and DFSS (design for Six Sigma). A sidebar lays out seven specific improvements to expect in the future: lean Six Sigma, best Six Sigma, lean best Six Sigma, Six Sigma in healthcare, lean design, merging of Six Sigma with other fields, and macro Six …

Outstanding introduction of both sides of the Six Sigma coin. I project Six Sigma will be around for a long time, due to spin-offs and re-runs. This is a good, well-written article.

The Smiling Heretic's Blog
Easter :: Christ is Risen Indeed!
Matthew 28.1-10
This past week has certainly run the gamut of emotional overload, huh?
We started the week off with Jesus entering Jerusalem to the cheers of disciples and followers, who had hoped he would be the one to restore Israel to its former glory. At the Passover, Jesus broke bread and shared wine with his close circle of friends, inaugurating a new rite that would become the cornerstone of worship for generations to come. Soon, though, he was betrayed by one of those friends, handed over to the religious and civil authorities, brought before the governor, whipped in public, and shamelessly crucified. For what? Promoting insurrection? Claiming to be God? For challenging the status quo?
And we, the faithful, have walked with Jesus every step of the way, our initial cheers on the dusty road leading to Jerusalem quickly turning to shouts of "Crucify! Crucify him!." He challenged the status quo for us, too.
Palm Sunday :: Who is this?
Matthew 21.1-11
Remember the old Lone Ranger shows on TV? Some nefarious cowboy would wreak havoc on an unsuspecting town and The Lone Ranger would ride in to save the day, "Hi-Ho-Silver-ing" all the way. He'd wrassle the varmit, rescue the damsel, and save the town for yet another day. Invariably after these heroics, some townsperson would ask, "Who was that masked man?" And, just as invariably, shoulders would shrug, the people not really knowing who he was. Zip-Zap, he came and went, doing his daring deeds of good. He didn't even stick around long enough for people to thank him.
At times it seems these are the kind of heroics we expect of Jesus. He'll come swooping into our lives at the utmost point of need, right whatever wrong he finds, and then swoop right back out. We'd cheer him, of course. Maybe we'd even line the streets, shout a few "Hosannas," and wave our flags. Jesus, the avenging Son of God! Save us!
Lent 5 :: The dead are raised
John 11.1-45
"Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
In twenty four years of parish ministry, I have been privileged to be with many people as they passed from this life to life eternal. "Privileged" is a good word here, for death can be a holy undertaking, and those present when a loved one or friend passes are cloaked in holy time. As the Spirit which brings life leaves the body, a new life emerges: a life of eternal glory in the presence of the One who overcame death and the grave. Now, certainly not all death is holy. Violent, horrible, painful death is anything but holy and, as such, is difficult to witness. But if we believe that the Holy Spirit of God encompasses all things, as "wind blow[ing] where it may," even violent death occurs in the midst of that which is holy.
Lent 4 :: Judge a book by its content
John 9.1-41
How well I remember that spring day in 9th grade science class. We had just been given the week's Science Weekly Reader, a newspaper specifically geared toward young, budding science students. On the front page was an article about a new acne treatment, complete with a "before" and "after" picture of a teenage boy who had received the "miracle" cure. His "before" picture was pretty much what you'd expect: a young face pockmarked with acne scars, blackheads, and zits. The "after" shot showed a smiling young man with baby-smooth skin. The transformation was miraculous, if not hard to believe.
As I was reading an article about something-or-other, two girls sitting behind me called out to me to turn around. They held the front-page acne article up and began comparing the "before" picture with my face! Giggling to themselves, they suggested I might want to try the cure.

Your competitors are quickly moving online to win business and to promote their companies. Building your online reputation and connecting with customers and prospects on social media are the new ways of doing business.
This automotive parts manufacturer relied on B63 Line to develop and deploy a new website. By segmenting Liteflex's various markets and products, B63 was able to create highly relevant content and provide for easy navigation. Brand refinement, strategic content development, and product photography were just a few of the other services provided to improve positioning and sales for Liteflex.
The Dayton Auto & Memorabilia Museum sought to create an online resource for their growing collection of cars and related historical artifacts. Providing photography, content development, and cataloging support, B63 Line designed and deployed an engaging website to provide searchable galleries, relevant articles, and frequent event notices. As their collection continues to grow, so does this rich online catalog.
Looking to improve presence and credibility, Mackintosh Tool Company turned to B63 Line to design a new exhibit booth for trade shows and events. Our flexible solution was a 20' display which could be separated into two different 10' segments – one for their cutting tools business, and one for their metalworking fluid business. Large photographic images and bold branding worked together to create a booth that gets noticed.

Recently a friend of mine shared a picture on Facebook, of a town in Kerala (I would not destroy its purity by calling it a 'city'): brilliantly lit, straight out of a night scene from Hollywood. Naturally, the friend was proud of how beautiful the city looked. A few comments from others also echoed the thought. I, on the other hand, felt a pang and hence did not comment or 'Like' it.
I remember seeing a picture of Night Bangalore a few years ago, and sharing it with every Bangalorean I knew, because it looked so like an international city. I was proud of it too.
But no longer.
Skyscrapers do not excite me anymore. Not because I have seen too many - no, I haven't seen any except in pictures. I don't find the newest - posh and polished - international airports across the world awe-inspiring. I know they are convenient and comfortable and state-of-the-art. But it also means we are shoving more daggers into ourselves.
I don't know if our dwelling places need so many lights, but I am sure it helps people who are forced to wander out at night. But where in the world has Nature been ousted to?
If we look at the pictures of the same places during the day, we would no doubt see a number of dreary buildings, old and new, roads, fly-overs and vehicles. There might also be manicured lawns and a spatter of trimmed shrubs flanking the streets, and perhaps a tree or two.
The greenery is fake. Our environment-friendly actions and concerns for nature are all phoney.
We fool ourselves that the little acts of kindness - in the form of shrubs that we plant - will throw sand in someone's eyes. If anything, it is our own eyes that we're throwing sand into.
We're unintentional hypocrites. We applaud man-made structures on one side and lament about vanishing greenery on the other.
Convenience and Environment have become mutually exclusive terms. One cannot exist where the other thrives. Not as things are now.
Think about it.
Unless there is a change...

As a global hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, The Hague holds tremendous expertise in key industries such as renewable energy, peace and justice, legal and finance, cyber security, IT and Tech that event organisers can tap into. The Hague Convention Bureau (THCB) can connect you to the many innovative minds in the city to maximise the legacy and impact of your event here, no matter the scale and scope.
The city's ethos is "Doing Good and Doing Business", reflecting The Hague's status as the International City of Peace and Justice. Home to more than 200 international organisations, knowledge institutions, start-ups and NGO's all working towards building a better, safer and more just world every day, The Hague also provides a highly favourable climate for young businesses. This has resulted in a constant influx of dynamic impact entrepreneurs.
Initiatives include Start-up Tuesday The Hague – a series of events for founders to network and explore innovative solutions to shared challenges – created by a collective of local innovation hubs such as ImpactCity, World Start-up Factory, The Hague Tech, Apollo 14, YES!Delft and The Hague Humanity Hub. Meanwhile, YES! Delft, one of the leading start-up incubators in the world, recently opened its new branch in The Hague to focus on innovations surrounding Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain technology.
So, it's little surprise that the city was chosen to host this year's annual Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES), the event highlight for the global start-up scene, on 4-5 June. Held in the European Union for the very first time in its history, the 9th edition in The Hague welcomed more than 1,200 hand selected entrepreneurs and 400 investors from over 170 nationalities along with top policy makers and guests including U.S. Secretary of State, Michael R. Pompeo, Ivanka Trump, Queen Maxima, Mayor of The Hague, Pauline Krikke, and Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rütte.
This year's GES evolved around the theme "The Future Now" and focused on entrepreneur-led innovation in scalable tech, from artificial intelligence and robotics to blockchain, big data and new science in Agriculture, Connectivity, Energy, Health and Water.
The Hague's stature and gravitas has always made it a focal point for key discussions, decisions and actions. Since the UN hosted the first peace conference in The Hague in 1899, the city has developed an excellent event infrastructure which offers customised solutions for association and corporate events.
The Hague is in a unique position to help organise an inspiring event that truly makes an impact on the success of your company. So why not come and experience what the innovative and exciting city has to offer first-hand? Let them show you around from 5 till 7 July and learn how people in The Hague Catch The Wave.

Gains realised on the disposal of the house or flat which an individual occupies as his or her main residence are generally exempt from UK capital gains tax. Nevertheless clients' affairs are often not as straightforward as this. For example an individual may have more than one residence, spending part of the time in each, or he may cease to occupy his main residence, let it for a period and then perhaps sell it.
The law allows an individual who has two or more residences to make a formal election to choose which one is his main one for capital gains purposes, provided he does so within two years of having the second residence. Incidentally you can "have" a residence without owning it. Once an election has been made it can be varied at any time thereafter. However if no election is made, the decision as to which of two or more residences is an individual's main one, will be determined by the inspector of taxes. A husband is not allowed to have a separate main residence from his wife and if electing, both must elect together.
Included within the definition of main residence is surrounding land of up to ½ a hectare or such further area as may be required for the reasonable enjoyment of the property having regard to its size and character.
It is also possible for this exemption to apply where a beneficiary of a trust is entitled under the terms of that trust to occupy the property. In certain circumstances, the exemption may also be extended to a property which is sold for more than probate value if the legatee had a relevant entitlement to the property and occupied it both before and after the deceased's death.
Subject to conditions, further relief may also be due for periods of letting or if the individual is required by his employer to live elsewhere.
Recent years have seen significant increases in property values and can give rise to substantial capital gains tax liabilities for their owners on sale (or gift) unless covered by the main residence exemption. This is an area where significant tax savings may be achieved with careful planning, but timing is a key factor as is consideration of the relative increases in value of the respective properties. We often find that clients tell us about a second or third property long after the time limit for making any election has passed. We encourage clients to tell us of additional properties to ensure that planning opportunities are maximised.

Thank you, Mike, for your kind remarks about this one.
I suppose, when you're sweating at 40°C, the thought of a frolic in the snow could be quite appealing!
I tried to look in my archives for a picture to fit those lines which I think are wonderfully suited to this time of year. This, unfortunately, was about the only one I could find. It would have been nicer to have a picture with a gate a bit more prominent in the frame, but I thought this was fairly appropriate. Perhaps some darkness beyond the gate might have been better too.
Yes, some
Blackface Sheep
might well have looked good in this picture. Some Scots might be offended by your saying "English" blackface sheep as the breed is probably most common in Scotland. But, apparently, there is evidence that this breed has existed all over Britain for at least 500 years. Blackface are amazingly resilient and well suited to existence in cold and bleak conditions. They taste good too!
Kind Regards,

The Plaintiffs are owners of various copyrights subsisting in movies and TV shows (the Copyrighted Subject-Matter). The Plaintiffs applied for a site-blocking order under Section 193DDA(1) of the Singapore Copyright Act (Cap. 63) (the Act), for the Defendant network service providers to take reasonable steps to disable access to Flagrantly Infringing Online Locations (FIOLs) consisting of 53 piracy websites.
The Plaintiffs sought two types of orders:
- for the Defendants to take reasonable steps to disable access by its subscribers to a list of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), IP addresses and domain names (the Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs)) which were being used to enable or facilitate access to the FIOLs (the Main Injunction); and
- an order requiring the Defendants to block new FQDNs discovered subsequent to the granting of the Main Injunction, which provided access to the same FIOLs that were the subject of the Main Injunction (the Dynamic Injunction).

from Manila Bulletin
Special arrangements are being mulled for the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) and other "special economic zones" in the mandatory phase of retail competition and open access (RCOA) in the power industry.
This was indicated by Commissioner Alfredo J. Non of the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) in a recent power industry forum wherein he laid down the regulatory body's rules prescription path for the mandatory RCOA as targeted by September 30 this year.
He reiterated that "special arrangements for PEZA, BCDA (Bases Conversion and Development Authority) and industrial estates may be considered upon application with the ERC."
The retail competition regime in the power sector will allow the qualified contestable customers to already contract their own electricity needs with their preferred suppliers or power retailers.
At mandatory RCOA regime, it was proposed that the threshold will already be brought down to the 750 kilowatts (kW) usage level form the 1.0-megawatt at voluntary-transitory phase two years ago.
Non has specified that new licensing rules for retail electricity suppliers (RES) shall be issued by the ERC upon the formulation of the RCOA's revised rules.
The ERC Commissioner has noted that the regulatory body will just issue new RES licenses when the new rules are issued and enforced. By then, it will be observing the prohibitions and restrictions stipulated in the revised RES Rules.
The same policy enforcement shall be prescribed for the issuance of certificates of contestability for those qualifying in the lower RCOA threshold of 750kW.
While the mandatory RCOA phase is targeted end-September, policy fine-tuning and rules formulation may stretch until December, Non indicated, so the ERC can fully engage stakeholders' attention at its consultation processes.
The ERC shall also be integrating modified rules on aggregation; and shall be harmonizing such with the Demand Aggregation and Supply Auctioning Policy (DASAP) set forth by the Department of Energy.

The EUHA Sponsorship Award is presented to young acousticians to honour their achievements, and make their findings available to the general public. This year's third prize was given to Franziska Eckardt of Oldenburg, who dealt with the recording of everyday sound situations. Second prize went to Johannes Kohorst for his diploma thesis, submitted at the Academy of Hearing Aid Acoustics, on the effects of frequency compression. David Sooprayen was awarded first prize; in his bachelor thesis written at Lübeck University of Applied Sciences, he had examined the benefit of added low-frequency gain in open fittings.
