World athletics body IAAF said on Friday it would investigate the authenticity of a letter signed by 10 Chinese athletes that says a Chinese Olympic coach ran a systematic doping programme up to the mid-1990s.
Signatories to the 21-year-old letter, published for the first time on private news portal Tencent Sports, included women's long-distance runner Wang Junxia, an Olympic champion and world record holder.
The allegations in the document, which Chinese TV channel CCTV and other state media also reported, date back to before the IAAF presidency of Lamine Diack, who took over in 1999.
2020 Multisport World Championships moved to 2021 due to COVID-19
Reuters could not independently confirm the authenticity of the letter and was unable to reach Wang or the coach the document named, Ma Junren.
The letter, sent in March 1995 to journalist Zhao Yu but never previously publicised, suggests Ma ran a systematic doping programme in China some two decades ago.
Reuters was unable to reach Zhao for comment.
The IAAF said its first action would be to verify that the letter was genuine. "In this respect, the IAAF has asked the Chinese Athletics Association to assist it in that process," it said.
An executive at the Chinese Athletics Association declined to comment.
The release of the Chinese letter comes as Diack, the former head of world athletics, is under investigation by French authorities for corruption.

According to a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) report, Diack ran a clique that covered up organised doping and blackmailed athletes while senior officials looked the other way.
The WADA report found a "deeply rooted culture of cheating" in Russian athletics, leading to the country's athletes being banned from the sport indefinitely.
Wang, whose 1993 world records for 3,000 and 10,000 metres still stand, was among a team coached by Ma, who for years had been dogged by doping allegations.
"For many years, (Ma) forced us to take large doses of banned drugs, it was true," the letter signed by her and nine others said.
"Our feelings are sorry and complex when exposing his deeds. We are also worried that we would harm our country's fame and reduce the worth of the gold medals we have worked very hard to get."
Ma has consistently denied the drug claims and said his athletes reached such levels through hard work and natural remedies, including turtle's blood.
However, in 2000, Chinese authorities fired Ma from the Olympic team after six of his athletes failed drug tests.
The organisation confirmed that any athlete admitting to taking an illegal substance at some time prior to setting a world record would have the mark removed.
Tencent Sports said details of doping had been deleted from a book on Ma that Zhao had published in 1993. However, these details were reinserted in a recent republication.
"We (author and editors) previously believed that the doping part was too sensitive, but now it's a better time as Chinese people's perceptions toward sports have changed substantially," Zhao told the news website.
In 1993 alone, Ma's team broke 66 domestic and world records, CCTV said. They took all three medals in the 5,000 metres and gold and silver in the 10,000 metres at the Stuttgart world championships.
His athletes smashed three world records at the Chinese national championships, with Wang taking 42 seconds off the 10,000 metres mark. She went on to win 5,000m gold and 10,000m silver at the 1996 Olympics.

We've all been in situations when you are very tired after the long working week and you want to hang out with your family and have some fun, but there's so many chores to do around the house. Unfortunately, many families in Orlando decide to forgo the relaxation and bonding time, choosing to double down on cleaning the homes on their own. They believe that it's too "aristocratic" to hire a maid. But is it?
1. You will help a person to make good money with their hands
It's not! In Orlando, there's a certain number of people who might be having a hard time finding a job. So, hiring the maid service in Orlando can help them make some cash.
2. Professionals always do better cleaning
Hair-dressers, car mechanics, teachers, doctors. All of these folks focus on some specific type of activities. Cleaners do too. And that's why they …

To fully capture the burgeoning lighting and electronics industry in the global market, a brand new trade fair, named Asian Lighting & Consumer Electronics Exhibition will be launched in Pazhou Poly World Trade Expo, Guangzhou of China in April 14-17 and October 14-17, 2014 exclusively for Asian manufacturers and suppliers. The exhibition is positioned as a genuine international trade fair for featuring exhibitors coming from all over Asia and other international origins, many of whom may seldom show up in the China trade fairs. This will cast strong appeal to both local and overseas buyers who are keen on looking for products from international suppliers. Riding on its strategic positioning, excellent timing to coincide with Canton Fair-Phase 1 and convenient location, the new show is set to become an exceptional sourcing platform for buyers converging on Guangzhou visiting the Canton Fair.

Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside!
This half term, after our trip to Fleetwood, we will focus on the historical side of seaside towns and how they developed.
I'm sure the children will all enjoy learning about this as I know they thoroughly enjoyed our trip!!
Welcome back to the last half-term for Year 6 children at Meadowhead Junior School!!
Time has gone very quickly and this term we will be working hard on becoming more independent to prepare for high school.
We will concentrate on developing skills in all subjects in the curriculum so that your children
will have the best start they possibly can at high school.
This half term, we are hoping for many opportunities to apply our knowledge to learning outside the classroom Children will be taking the temperature of the lovely summer days and creating graphs and charts as part of our maths lessons. Hopefully the weather will be kind to us and we can have some time playing a variety of team games on the field.
In Design and Technology, we will be making structures that have moving parts. Children will use wind power to make their structures work before using electrically circuits as part of our work in science.
The Year 6 leavers' assembly will take place on 22nd July. We hope to see as many parents as possible watching this performance.
Fleetwood Visit
We intend to take Year six children on a visit to Fleetwood as part of our summer term Victorian history topic. In the morning, the children will be having a walk along the promenade to take in the sea air. In the afternoon, the children will be visiting Fleetwood Museum and participating in a range of activities that link to our history topic.
We have planned for Year 6 pupils to visit two museums in Manchester on Friday 29th March to support the work in science on animal classification.
The first venue is the Whitworth Art Gallery, www.whitworth.manchester.ac.uk, where we will have an art workshop learning new drawing techniques. This is led by professional artists. We will be drawing from nature.
Lunch will be in the Whitworth Art Gallery. Children who bring their own packed lunch will be given a brown paper lunch bag on Thursday 28th for them to bring their packed lunch in. This can be thrown away after lunch. We are trying to reduce plastic waste in creative ways so we hope this will help! Children who have a school dinner will be provided with a school packed lunch.
The second venue is The Manchester Museum, www.museum.manchester.ac.uk.This is a great museum full of amazing exhibits. We are going to be looking at different animal groups and have been asked to trial a new school activity for the museum. There is a vivarium too full of exciting live creatures too.
Working hard in year 6!
We are busy preparing for SATs in May. Please encourage your child to read regularly and practise spellings.
There are many games and activities on the internet that will help your child in Maths and Grammar.
Spring Term 2
Welcome back! We have a busy half term ahead of us!
In English, we will be basing our work on the Super Sleuth topic for this half term. Our work will involve researching fictional heroes and villains to inspire our writing.
In maths, we will be focussing on fractions, percentages and decimals.
We will be doing lots of problem solving activities!
Happy New Year!
Striving to achieve our SATs targets!
This half term, all the children will continue taking part in extra lessons to accelerate their learning ready for the SATs in May and high school. Throughout the Spring term we will be helping the children to fulfil their potential.
Please could you help in the following ways by ensuring:

There is a change to the P.E. days this half term.
Tuesday - outdoor for 6MS
Wednesday - indoor for 6MS
To commemorate 100 years since WW1 we are learning and performing (both in school and at Corporation Park) a poem that was written by Wilfred Owen called Dulce et Decorum est. I have added a copy to the class page as the children want to learn it. I'm sure they will enjoy performing for you over the next two weeks!!
Welcome to our new class webpage!
Homework and Reading
Each week, the children are expected to complete one piece of English homework and one piece of Maths homework. Homework is given out every Tuesday to be returned the following Tuesday.
Children have reading response books for their home reading in which we expect children to complete a response task (see the grid in the front of the book) after they have read a few chapters; children should still be reading daily at home.
P.E. Lessons
Indoor P.E. is on Tuesday and Outdoor P.E. is on Friday.
Please can children have a full kit for both indoor and outdoor P.E. lessons in school at all times.

CRAYFISH PARTY: A True Nordic Feast @SofitelManila
Kräftskiva (the Crayfish Party) is a typical Swedish festivity that symbolizes the end of summer for Nordic countries, usually in August. Once reserved for royalty, the crayfish eventually became popular amongst the masses after Parisians took an interest, and the rest of Europe followed suit.
Now in its 6th year, NordCham Philippines in partnership with Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila transports guests to a feast for the senses set in a Viking Village for the themed celebration of the Crayfish Party 2018. Save the date for the 8th of September 2018 from 6pm onwards and get ready to indulge in a festive party.

The Distinguished Gourmand: Picca
When I last left chef Ricardo Zarate, he was in the kitchen at Mo-Chica. Through the small window separating kitchen from counter, he sent a complimentary dessert to the table. If memory serves (this was a few years ago) he announced through that portal that it was carob mousse, something he was just trying out. This was a few years ago, before the Best New Chef award from Food & Wine, before the…um…imitation Peruvian lunch counter appeared in Grand Central Mark, when expansion of Mo-Chica seemed to be a priority over opening an entirely new restaurant. When the chef (or maybe it was our server — I honestly don't recall) heard the words "Echo Park" a discussion began regarding new locations. Perhaps content with the lofty praise and dedicated clientele his restaurant had received, during the first months of 2011 Zarate chose to open Picca ("to nibble"), an anticucho (small pieces of skewered grilled meat) bar in West Los Angeles.
Instead of large, ornate plates filled to the brim with oxtail risotto, arroz con pollo or seco de cordero, at Picca the small plates take Peruvian cuisine and presents it with the elegance of Japanese izakaya. Instead of a layered mound of fresh causa like the delicious starter at Mo-Chica, Picca offers delicately prepared variations no larger than sushi. Potato takes the place of rice, and the yellowtail with wasabi-marinated tobiko served last night was bright and delicious. I admired the unique take on the dish, but longed for more than two pieces to an order.
Starters included chicharron de pollo (marinated crispy chicken, salsa criolla, rocoto sauce), papa rellena (stuffed potato, slow cooked beef, boiled egg, rocoto walnut aioli, olives), the aforementioned causa spicy yellowtail and ceviche with albacore tuna. Whereas the ceviche-of-the-day preparations at Mo-Chica pair sushi-fresh fish with garnishes like hominy, red onion, seaweed and canchita, at Picca the dish is broken down to the bare essentials, fish bathed in vinegar, lime juice, spicy peppers and a touch of cucumber. The tender fried chicken was another standout, with the pepper sauce and tangy salsa both helping to elevate the dish.
Next came the chicharron de costillas, a pile of crispy pork ribs, sweet potato puree, feta cheese sauce and salsa criolla on a toasted baguette. It was an indulgent dish, but I was happy to be consuming it. I'm as tired of pork and pork belly and pork ribs in LA's hip and haute cuisine scene as anyone, but this preparation cannot be lumped together with the various iterations of pork being served across town. Yes, the pork is the main protein, but the feta and sweet potato absolutely balance the dish's porcine essence. This isn't bacon-wrapped bacon for chrissakes.
With a belly beginning to swell, the lone anticucho sampled was chicken with rocoto walnut pesto. The juicy breast was fantastic, the bitterness from the charcoal perfect. Will I be returning in the future to try the highly-touted beef hearts with rocoto walnut pesto or the beef with sea-urchin butter? Absolutely.
Two main courses were consumed. First came the seco de pato (duck leg confit, black beer sauce, cilantro rice). The crispy skin gave way to tender meat that was quick to fall off the bone. The rice in beer sauce was a bit on the heavy side, but its rustic blend of herbs and that same heaviness made it seem all the more traditional. Then came the carapuicra (roasted black cod, Peruvian sun dried potato stew, peanuts, chimichurri). The fish was cooked perfectly, the sauce was remarkable. No, there was no room for dessert.
Although not sampled, there is a drink menu featuring between a half-dozen unique concoctions designed by Julian Cox (Rivera, Playa, etc.). Yes, there are two Peruvian lagers — Cristal and Cusqueña — available by the bottle.
All of our dishes were executed to great success. The familiar Peruvian flavor profiles delivered via Japanese aesthetic was a joy to consume. Service was fantastic; the wait-staff is amiable and eager to offer suggestions. Picca is definitely a different dining adventure than Mo-Chica. The focus on small plates is much better suited to communal consumption. With the right number of friends you could easily eat your way through the entire menu, and considering the greatness of my first taste(s) I'd say my first food-related goal of 2012 is now readily apparent: Eat the entire menu at Picca.
1 comment
Mmm. Yes, Mo-Chica was delicious, actually better than some of the Peruvian food I ate in Lima. I'd like to offer a shout out for those little fried potatoes, hot and crispy like French Fries on the outside, but much more rich and dense on the inside. Not sure how they do it, but me likey.

HUGO SS19 is an Ode to Berlin Techno Culture
The label revamps its look, taking cues from the mid-90s.
The label revamps its look, taking cues from the mid-90s.
Photography: Tess Garcia
For its spring/summer 2019 collection, German legacy brand HUGO, otherwise known as HUGO BOSS, received a refreshing revamp courtesy of its own rich history, along with that of its home country. The design team drew inspiration from the label's archives and Berlin's '90s techno scene, hosting the show at Motorwerk, which once served as the city's raver Mecca.
The collection paid homage to HUGO's signature suiting, while neon hues, chunky hardware, and mind-bending prints added a welcome hint of club kid flair. Spaghetti-strapped slip dresses and zip-up thermals, accessorized with fanny packs and bucket bags large enough to fit a flip phone and lip gloss, could have been plucked straight from a red carpet in 1995. Big names like Lucky Blue Smith and Wiz Khalifa were seen in attendance.
Check out the full HUGO SS19 presentation in the video below.

If you're a fan of video games, you may have had the stray daydream or two where you get paid to take part in your hobby, perhaps as a game tester or reviewer. The honest truth, though, is those jobs are extremely hard to come by. You either have to have the connections to get your foot in the door, or you're forced into the chicken-or-the-egg situation of needing experience but not having a place to get it.
What if we told you there's a third option -- one where you can play games to your heart's content and also earn money doing so? We're talking about game streaming, a still-growing phenomenon that has helped a number of gamers leave their office jobs behind for a life of gaming and on-camera banter.
What is Video Game Streaming?
Video game streaming is a sort-of offshoot from the concept of lifestreaming, an early-2000s fad where regular people wore cameras and streamed their day-to-day lives to the world. With game streaming, however, no one is watching you take on mundane tasks like laundry. Instead, viewers of sites like Twitch and Mixer tune in to watch their favorite personalities play video games.
Streamers are typically shown on-camera, either in a windowed box or, using green screen chroma, right on top of the game itself. And interaction is a big factor when it comes to streaming games. The best streamers build communities by regularly interacting with those in chat, creating a connection to viewers that you don't get with other streaming video mediums.
It would be easy to assume that the biggest crowds show up for brand new titles, but that's not always the case. New game releases often come and go while time-tested titles like DOTA 2 and PUBG remain at the top of the charts. Streamers are often known for playing certain games, and as such, are seen as community leaders for those specific titles in the eyes of their peers and fans.
How Much Can Streamers Earn?
When it comes to game streaming, a lot of factors can determine how much someone earns.Some of the highest earners at over $300,000 per year, though those are most certainly outliers when compared to the rest of those who stream. Most make what amounts to pocket money, with some in the middle of the spectrum earning as much as a part-time job would pay. The ceiling on what someone can truly earn comes down to viewership.
There are a few ways streamers can earn from their hobby. The first is through tips, and this is where most early streamers will have to make their income to start, as services like Twitch and Mixer require a decently sized viewership before one can become "partnered." Partnership, then, is the next step, where a streamer is awarded a cut of the ad revenue from commercials that play during their stream. Finally, there are outside income opportunities, such as posting content to YouTube or receiving sponsorships from brands.
Tips for Getting Started
The smartest thing you can do when starting out? Don't dive in expecting to make a full-time income right away. Or, as the old saying goes, "Don't quit your day job."
Start out using what you already have first. Game consoles like the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have built-in game streaming capabilities. Put some time in, learn how to stream and interact with viewers, and only invest in a better stream once you start to build up a viewership.
When you're ready to make the jump into more serious streaming, you'll want to purchase a more powerful PC and bump up your Internet connection speed. Why? A pretty picture is part of a good stream. A high-end PC with a serious CPU can handle stream processing more efficiently, and a higher-quality stream will require more bandwidth in order to flow to your viewers without any buffering.
See You On Stream?
If game streaming sounds like something that could interest you, there's no better time than now to dip your toe in and try it out. Twitch alone boasts over 100 million monthly viewers. Play your cards right, and some of them could wind up being your biggest fans.

Normally this space deals with gee-whiz developments. But this week's standout moments were less likely to spin heads than to preoccupy them with a question: What is wrong with these people?
How could anyone with enough sense to land a job show such bad judgment in fulfilling it? Yet this was a week of stellar screw-ups by restaurant employees, rendered all the more perplexing because similar past transgressions festered into causes celebres. Anyone with a smart phone should be aware of the risks.
Maybe it's time to review some fundamental do's and don't's of restaurant operations:
1. Don't show porn in the dining room
Especially not on Easter Sunday, when the place is packed with customers observing the religious holiday. But that's exactly what happened at a Huddle House family restaurant in North Carolina. It's unclear who switched the channel to a skin flick, but this week the restaurant fired a waitress for allegedly not noticing the on-screen action and switching it off.
2. Don't serve booze to kids
It's staggering that this happens almost regularly. If you know the reason, please pass it along so we can share it and hopefully prevent incidents like one in Phoenix this week that drew national media coverage. There, a 3-year-old was served a cocktail in a lidded cup, the drink vessel used for children at the Benihana. An explanation has yet to be provided. Then again, one wasn't offered for a similar lapse about two weeks earlier, when a 2-year-old in a Texas Roadhouse was allegedly given a glass of sangria. It's not clear if the server thought it was grape juice, but we're grasping for understanding.
3. Don't categorize customers by race
Ticketing systems that allow the staff to add a description of a customer, some point of recognition, have become commonplace in the business. So, too, have idiotic misuses. The notion is to give the staff a clue as to who's getting a takeout order or a drink. Seeing "woman in red dress" enables an employee to find the patron and provide just that touch of personalized service, instead of calling a number or a name as if they were holding a Bingo game.
The trouble comes when staffers don't think about the traits they select as their point of reference, and completely forget that the ticket is usually given to the customer along with the order. The example from this week: A restaurant in North Dallas using "5 black guys" as the clue to who got a round of drinks. Not "5 guys." Not "5 guys at Table 7." Not "5 dudes." A waiter figured their skin color was a better way of fostering recognition. It cost him his job at Zenna Thai and Japanese.
Please, put some boundaries on the descriptors your staff can use. Limit them to using a garment as the reference point, the way hostesses at upscale restaurants sometimes use shoe styles and colors to find a particular party who's waiting at the bar for a table. And make sure they know that skin color, disability and disparaging references like "ho's" are unacceptable.
4. Breastfeeding is a legal right in many areas
Yet some employees are still so unnerved about a child being nursed that they ask the woman to leave. Unflattering news stories typically follow if the customer makes an issue of it, as she has every right to do. But now the reputation damage can be more severe because of social media, as Time magazine noted after a breastfeeding incident in a Colorado Hooters came to light this week. An employee said he was flabbergasted when a woman started nursing her baby just as the waiter was taking the table's orders, and wished he had a wing to chuck at the mom.
That touched off a firestorm on Twitter. An employee's inability to push through a few minutes of displeasure tarnished a restaurant and arguably its parent brand. And all because an employee didn't know the facts of life.
5. Stop snapping at service dogs
The United Kingdom has such a problem with fake service dogs that lawmakers are considering an increase in penalties for the owners of the bogus aid pets. There are similar rumblings in Canada and even occasionally here in the colonies. But until restaurants' hand is strengthened, places can't turn away a customer because he or she has a service dog in tow. It couldn't be simpler.
Yet controversies still erupt. This week, a mother and son were ousted from a place in Houston because an employee knew the health code banned dogs from the restaurant, but didn't realize that service animals are an exception.
What is so hard about setting a standard for documentation and then abiding by the local laws on bringing aid pets into a restaurant?
6. Don't refuse followers of fashions you don't like
Tattoos and skin piercings have gone mainstream, so 86ing customers who take that fashion to an extreme just doesn't make sense any longer. Yet a member of the industry said this week that he was refused service because of the skin art that showed on his arms and the top of his chest. The restaurant, Pico's, said the problem was the patron's sleeveless shirt, not the tats. But that point was largely lost in the news coverage. Instead, the place came off as intolerant of fashionistas—the last impression a restaurant would want to leave.
Of course, tattoos and face piercings aren't the only things that have prompted staffers to refuse service on the grounds that other patrons could be disgusted by the visuals. Customers with disfigurements, disabilities, neurological orders like Tourette's and other visible points of difference have also been asked to leave. Does anyone think a request like that screams "hospitality"?

"Make a change today to save Wrexham for the future" become a local Councillor

Liz JacksonParticipant
Now that Welsh Assembly Elections are over – even if they have not decided on the Government- it is time for us to start looking towards the 2017 Local Government elections. There will be 52 seats up — if you are not sure who your elusive Councillor is look at the mug shots
Many of these people are more elusive than the Scarlet Pimpernel or a dodo with many people saying they have no idea who represents them as they are never seen in their community.
It is time for a change in Wrexham not only Councillors but also the way the Council works – the current system of everything being decided by 10 people on an Executive Board with 42 almost ineffective representatives is a disgrace.
There are many people on these threads that pose challenges and potential solutions to many of the issues affecting our area- now is your time to think about putting yourself forward to the electorate.
If you look at the National Assembly nearly 50% of those elected are completely new — lets see the same happen in Wrexham – fresh blood, fresh ideas. Lets start planning to break the 'old guard' in Wrexham.
It's worth you looking at http://moderngov.wrexham.gov.uk/mgCalendarMonthView.aspx?GL=1&bcr=1 every week to start getting an idea of what is being discussed and the issues from across the Council.
There are a few of us coming together to share ideas and learn what a Councillor does– it is worth looking at
Our strap line could be "Make a change today to save Wrexham for the future" become a local Councillor
Would be really interested to hear from anyone with a similar vision.. email@example.com 14, 2016 at 11:20 am #113339
Thanks Liz there is some very useful information you have shared- looks like you are quite determined to do something- be interesting to see how this develops it really does feel that Wrexham needs a change. We are getting lots of new houses and in danger of people moving in that only see Wrexham as a dormitory place to sleep- we need to make them feel part of a community. A change at the top could help to drive this and make Wrexham a really welcoming community. There is a lot said about welcoming in the Syrian's (which I welcome) but we don't do anything to welcome other people who move in.
Bring on the change 51 weeks to prepare for what could be the change to see Wrexham move into the 2020'sMay 14, 2016 at 4:27 pm #113347
The MonitorParticipant
One of the most Serious things to be changed is the system of organisation and procedure: the so called
'Cabinet Style' . This is faulty and does not follow the Cabinet Style of organisation and procedure present
at Central Government in the UK.
To clarify:
The present system of procedural organisation used by the Council is as follows:
* The Executive Board (call them the Cabinet) make decisions on policy and action. Once these are made
public a request can be made for them to be sent to the Scrutiny Committee (call this 'the Lords)
for review. If this request is allowed then …
* The Scrutiny Committee deliberate on the Policy or Action and then if they are in doubt of the worth and
sense of the decision, they can send it back to the Executive Board for further condideration. If they
agree by a majority that the Executive Boards decisions are ok then no further action is taken and the
decisions are activated.
AT no time need they be put to a vote of the Whole Council, (call this the Commons), where All councillors
can vote. This a seriously faulty way of running things and deprives most of the Elected Members of a
vote and also denies the views of the public to be raised and taking away any influence the general public
can exercise.
THIS is not the True Cabinet Style as operates in Central Government where:
* The Cabinet make policy and action decisions which are then submitted to Lords.
* The Lords then consider the policy decisions and then either, if they disagree with anything, refer them
back to the Cabinet for further discussion or negating.
* The Cabinet then review the original policy decisions and either change and once more they go to the
Lords for further scrutiny or the Cabinet set them aside.
* Once the Lords agree the policy decisions arising from the Cabinet.
they then go before THE WHOLE HOUSE OF COMMONS, allowing all Members of Parliament to vote.
Voting acceptance or denial. In this way it is possible for ALL members of the public, the Electorate
to have their views taken into account.
Wrexham Council should be ashamed of the undemocratic set up of Council procedure at present, denies the
electorate views to be expressed, and enables the Council policies and actions to be Dictated by 10 people
the Executive Boards.
TIME FOR CHANGE.May 14, 2016 at 5:04 pm #113349
Liz JacksonParticipant
Monitor you are describing how the Executive and the Scrutiny seems to have moved in the past couple of years- nearly 80% of all items going to the Executive Board have never been through Scrutiny- this is meaning that the non Executive Board Council Members are having to 'call in' decisions made by the Executive for consideration.
This is totally undemocratic , time wasting and shows no respect for the electorate who voted for ALL of the Council Members to play their part.
Hope you are up for considering putting your name in the hat for a future Councillor.May 14, 2016 at 6:07 pm #113353
The decisions are already made prior to any councillor even seeing proposals. The tail wags the dog in Wrexham. The people at the top, now with the help of PwC, are controlling the narrative, dictating how, and what items are discussed. Its the present system of procedural organisation in WCBC which is a farce and needs changing. Every motion should be ratified by a full Council vote! And this is something the councillors can, and I would urge them to, change.
And I'm not saying that the people at the top are deliberately doing things wrong, purposely destroying the town, I just feel that bad decisions are being made, hastily, in the current climate of cuts, and people are out of their depth – caught like rabbits in headlights, paralysed by the fear of making the wrong decision. "Quick, we got to make millions of pounds of cuts, I don't want to cut x from this very noble cause, cut peoples wages, lay people off, I know, we'll get in PwC who will take an extra 10% of any savings we make for their 'expertise'".
And this is how it will go:
PwC go in, talk to the staff at the coal face, see where the easy efficiencies can be made, recommend outsourcing for anything else. When the cut targets aren't met, and PwC have pushed up the amount of money that needs savings (by taking their extra 10%), next recommendation – good old salami slicing time! Bing bang bosh, PwC get the money and can cut and run, councillors take the blame, people at the top have nervous breakdown :)
The councillors are just fodder in the current climate of cuts and will end up paying with their seats.
I know quite a few councillors, and most, not all, are really nice people who actually want to make a difference. These are not, in the main, career politicians in the style of Westminster, they are local people from all walks of life. And that is true across the political spectrum in Wrexham, take Neil Rogers (he is a very nice and pleasant man, councillor for the area my family were from, always went out of his way to help them), Alun Jenkins (my fathers teacher – never a bad word said about him), Carol O'Tool (lovely lady), David I Bithell and Andy Williams (both attended my house when I had a fire years ago, helped me when I was in need!), Bill Baldwin (my local councillor, very humorous guy, always helpful and will get my vote), Arfon Jones (I absolutely despise the party he is a member of!!! But he is a really nice guy, always has time for you, and willing to discuss politics in the pub!), and Graham Rogers (anyone who has spent any time with Graham always has a good laugh). Deliberately left out the councillors I don't have time for, as it would not be fair criticising them when I have the right of anonymity.May 15, 2016 at 10:26 pm #113421
Well done Liz for taking the initiative on this.May 16, 2016 at 11:04 am #113433
The MonitorParticipant
Liz Taylor, it would seem we are in total agreement. Thank you for mentioning me as a possible future Councillor, but I know my limitations, unlike certain present council members, and sadly there are also private reasons which I think would impede me. Good luck with your drive for a new Wrexham Council based upon true democratic priciples and procedures. I shall follow your efforts with interest and full support.May 16, 2016 at 11:37 am #113435
This is all very encouraging. However it would be a huge step forward if all eligible to vote took an interest in local council. It is not good enough to say you never see your councillor – the responsibility is as much yours as theirs. Make your councillor accountable. Go to local surgeries held by your councillor – find out their views and make yours known. In reply to FWarp councillors may be nice people, but more importantly how often do they attend meetings, what do they say and how do they vote.May 16, 2016 at 11:52 am #113436
Council WatcherParticipant
Fully agree that citizen engagement is vital in the future — with people being elected on 15 – 20%- of their potential electorate in an area is really poor. Anyone elected needs to have links to all their respective citizens in their wards.
Interesting Margaret mentions Councillor surgeries – only about a third actually do this the same as submitting an annual report on their activities.
Change is in the wind- lets hope it blows in the right direction.May 16, 2016 at 12:08 pm #113437
My mistake – my councillor holds surgeries. I naively thought they all did. Is an annual report mandatory for their position or is it voluntary ?

Annie Raja does not rule out the possibility of women leaders including her being considered for candidature.
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: With the CPI determined to dispel the belief in political circles that the prestigious Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha constituency is out of their reach, the party is exploring all possibilities to field a formidable candidate this time.
Though formal discussions regarding candidates are yet to take place within the party, the names of prominent leaders like Pannyan Raveendran, Kanam Rajendran and Annie Raja are already doing the rounds. Annie Raja does not rule out the possibility of women leaders including her being considered for candidature.
"Such reports have been there on the eve of polls even earlier. But this time the social media is discussing this issue very actively. No decision has been taken on candidates yet. Our central secretariat and national council meetings are scheduled for March first week," she said.
Annie Raja said; "Definitely in the changing times, the Left parties should give more representation to youth and women. We expect they will do the maximum."
She said when compared to other parties, the Left had always accommodated more women. "If you ask me is that enough. I would say no. There is no doubt about that. But we are constantly demanding that more women and youth be brought into parliamentary arena," she said.
In the wake of LDF's campaign on equal rights for men and women and the huge success of Vanitha Mathil in the back drop of Sabarimala issue, there is a positive atmosphere for fielding women candidates in the state this time around. "It's not about me. Any other woman leader could be considered," she added.
The only time when a woman candidate gave a spectacular performance in the constituency was in 1991, when CPI's E.J. Vijayammma secured 290,602 votes. However, she lost to A. Charles of the Congress by a margin of 43,670 votes. O Rajagopal came third with just 80,566 votes.
After Pannyan Raveendran's victory in 2005 by-elections, the CPI faced two back-to-back defeats at the hands of Tharoor. But 2014 is a chapter that the party would not like to remember.
The party does not want to repeat the mistake of fielding a weak candidate like Bennet Abraham who ended up a poor third.

Being a process engineer is a very flexible and engaging position. Lydon talks about his vision and what he particularly enjoys in his function.
Being a process engineer is a very flexible and engaging position. In my first year alone I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects. My main responsibilities included: project lead, basic technical design, site testing, operational analysis and the procurement of several hundred thousand euros worth of equipment, to name but a few. Excitingly, during the next stage of my current project, I am privileged enough to be the main engineer responsible for bringing online and commissioning a modified medicine production line.
Engineers perform a key function within any industrial setting. We are both the knowledge reservoir and the guiding hand of any project. The upper echelons may have an idea of what they want to implement but it falls to us engineers to find, propose and realize an actual technical solution and pathway to materialize these ideas. This means that every project will be different and therefore a challenge in its own unique way. Being able to bring an idea from paper into reality and see it work in the way you predicted is extremely rewarding and makes you feel like you make a real contribution to not only the project/company but society as a whole. At the end of the day that's why I became an engineer and I. Love. It.

This is a myth!
Protein does not cause osteoporosis nor declining bone health. In fact, the opposite is true. High quality dietary protein is necessary for strong bones.
Heaney & Layman (2008) examined that bone health depended on a variety of factors:
1) Level of protein in the diet
2) Protein source
3) Calcium intake
4) Weight loss
5) Acid/base balance of the diet.
The review also acknowledged a study of 191 subjects over 20 years that found protein intakes from 0.41 – 1.96 g/kg had no effect on calcium absorption efficiency. No differences in measured markers in the blood for bone turnover were found in either a high protein or high carbohydrate diet.
Studies have shown that various protein sources may exhibit different effects on bone metabolism. It has been shown that:
Animal Source = Higher serum levels of IGF-1
Soy foods/Products = Lower levels of IGF-1.
High levels of IGF-1 are related to bone growth. As individuals age, there are declines in serum levels of IGF-1 concentration.
Both the level of protein and the type of protein in your diet may have an effect of IGF-1 levels in the body.
What about Calcium Intake?
Protein intake increases urinary calcium loss, but whether there is a negative calcium balance, depends on dietary calcium intake.
Highest Protein Intake + Calcium/Vitamin D Supplementation = Positive Bone Health
Take Away Point
High levels of protein do not result in bone demineralization or a decrease in bone mass. High protein diets, rich in calcium help to increase bone mineralization and decrease the risk of fracture.

White Hart Lane is the home of Tottenham Hotspur football club. With its new £400 million development Spurs needed a modern way to engage with the community.
Bean was commissioned to create an artwork that reflected Tottenham's community. Led by local artist Agwa our concept was to focus on the relationship of Work, Love and Play in Tottenham.
'Work' depicts the interconnectivity and growth the community has catalysed. 'Love' shows my home and Tottenham's green spaces. 'Play' revolves around sport, social painting and drinking at the Beehive.'
The artwork was completed as a triptych in the Bean studio using spray paint and acrylic on pine panel.

TC-15 Details
Build notes specific to this amp from Mitch.
This is a two channel amp based on the the Matchless DC30 except it only has one pair of output tubes. I didn't build this one from scratch, I purchased most of the parts including the board, chassis and front panel from an outfit in Toronto called Trinity Amps. I did the electronic assembly and built the cabinet.
This amp has a push/pull power amp operating Class AB. It uses two EL84 tubes made by TungSol in Russia with a TungSol 12AX7 for the phase inverter. It has a master volume control that can be switched in and out of circuit. Power output is 15 watts.
The preamp has two channels, one uses a single EF86 tube, the other uses a couple of 12AX7's. Each have their own volume and tone controls. The 12AX7 channel has two gain stages with bass, mid and treble controls. The EF86 channel has a single gain stage and it has a six-position rotary switch to change the tone. All the tubes are made by TungSol.
The power supply uses a 5AR4 rectifier tube made by Sovtek in Russia.
The amp has Alpha pots, Trinity transformers and Cliff jacks.
It has an 11 gauge aluminum chassis with a black faceplate.
I began by installing all the tube sockets, transformers, pots, switches and jacks on the chassis.
I wired up the AC, the power transformer, the heaters, the output transformer secondary, the jacks and the pots.
I started working on the eyelet board next. I installed all the wiring on the bottom side, then I started working from left to right installing the resistors and capacitors on the top side. I also attached all the flyoff leads.
All that was left now was installing the board and wiring it to the tube sockets and pots.
I did the final checks, installed the tubes and checked it some more. Everything was good. It worked the first time and sounded fantastic when I plugged in a guitar and a speaker!
I built the cabinet next. I used a hardwood from Africa called padauk. It's orange when freshly planed or sanded. It turns redder with age and once a finish is applied. I've already planed the wood to final thickness, cut the pieces to size and routed dovetails on the joints in these photos.
Rounding all the edges with a router and sanding came next. It's pretty hard to build an amp or speaker cabinet without a router. I have several!
I finished the cabinet by spraying on five coats of clear lacquer.
I finished the front and back panels by spraying on three coats of hammertone paint. The vent grills are just perforated steel. The front one was spray painted black, the back one was left natural. The teak panel in the photo is for another project.
I installed feet and a handle, bolted in the amp chassis and the project was finished!

Christmas Vacation 2013
For Christmas this year, we drove to Florida. Florida is nothing new for us for the holidays, but the driving part is. Let me say, I'm pretty damned proud. Out of about 38 hours total drive time, my kids played on electronic devices for about 3 hours, total....and that was because Husband and I needed a break from their playing and talking! Not one movie was watched in the van. Plus, the only games they had were educational ones for their Leapsters. Anyway....off of that proud note and on to another. Sunshine only had trouble sleeping on the way down in the hotel and the first night we at the house, the rest of the time, she slept like a champ! The girl doesn't sleep, which is why we are so very proud of her on this trip. Other than those two big things, there were so many other wonderful parts of this trip! We swam everyday. We went to the beach every day. We had true quality time together and with Grandpa. The trip was awesome! Husband put together a slide show of highlights. Hope everyone had as merry of a Christmas as we did!
***As a side note, Weebly has been down on my computer for some reason and Husband just got it back up and working by rerouting it through a different server, so that's why this took so long to get up.

Boston Garden Green Floor Cuff Links
- These cuff links are crafted from authentic Boston Garden basketball floor which was in use from 1946-1999.
- Set in sterling silver with swivel findings, these cuff links feature the scuffs and scratches of the floor on which the Celtics won 16 of their 17 Championships. Measures 13/16" x 7/16" and back hallmarked "Boston Garden."
- Officially licensed by TD Garden, each pair of cuff links comes
gift-boxed with a Certificate of Authenticity.
After the original Boston Garden was demolished in 1999, Tokens & Icons acquired the last 9 of 11 panels of the parquet floor directly from TD Garden.Warning: This product may contain one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Additional Product Information
Boston Garden opened in 1928 and was originally named Boston Madison Square Garden as it was designed by Tex Rickard who built the third Madison Square Garden. Rickard, who also promoted boxing, aimed to build an arena with this sport in mind. Thus fans were very close to the action and this, combined with the Celtics' supposed ability to know where a ball would bounce on the iconic parquet floor, was thought to have contributed to the team's hometown advantage. The parquet floor was originally built in the Boston Arena and moved to the Garden in 1952. Boston Garden closed in 1999 and in 2010 Tokens & Icons was selected by the arena's management to celebrate the storied basketball floor. Eleven five-foot square pieces remained and Tokens was entrusted with nine of them. These panels have been used to craft this item. Boston Garden hosted nineteen NBA Finals, four NBA All-Star games and was the first arena to host the NBA and Stanley Cup Finals in 1957.

In my younger days I had a nice big piece of granite rock behind the passenger seat of my MGB. Doubled as both a wheel chock (handbrake cable missing) and a fuel pump thumper when the pump got lazy. On one drive from Virginia to Pennsylvania, had some nutter riding the bumper, the top was down and I gave him a three-angle view of the rock and then "mock" heaved it up, to look like it would go out the back of the B... he clamped on th' binders so hard he was almost sideways. Didn't see him again.

Remember that evil Intifada page on Facebook calling for violence against and death to Jews? Intifada refers to a Palestinian uprising against Israel.
Can you imagine Facebook ever allowing a page calling for violence against the Left's political sacred cows — Muslims, blacks, illegal immigrants, women, or gays?
Facebook finally took down the Intifada page after people complained. Now, Facebook is being sued for $1 billion by Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch. I hope Klayman wins.
The UK's Daily Mail reports today, April 3, 2011:
Facebook and its co-founder Mark Zuckerberg are being sued for more than
$1billion over a page that was on the social networking site that called for
violence against Jews. The page, entitled Third Palestinian Intifada, had more than 340,000 'likes' for its proposed May 15 uprising when it was removed earlier in the week.
The suit was filed by American attorney Larry Klayman in the D.C. Superior Court on Thursday. He is also the founder of the conservative public interest group Judicial Watch.
In the lawsuit Mr Klayman describes himself as "an American citizen of Jewish origin" who is "active in all matters concerning the security of Israel and its
people." He alleges that Facebook did not take down the page that called for a intifada quick enough, keeping it up in order to 'further their revenues and the net worth of the company.'
The page was removed by the company on March 29, several days after various people complained, including Israeli Public Diplomacy minister Yuli Edelstein and the Anti-Defamation League. A Facebook spokesman said that the claims were 'without merit,' adding that 'we will fight it vigorously.'
To read the rest of the Daily Mail article, CLICK HERE.
Facebook shouldn't even have allowed the Intifida page to be created in the first place. Rule No. 7 under "Safety" of Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities states: "You will not post content that: is hateful, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence."
Despite numerous reports to the site that the Intifada page violated Facebook's own Terms of Service – including a direct appeal by Israeli Public Diplomacy Minister Yuli Edelstein and the Anti-Defamation League in New York — Facebook initially declined to remove the page with the lame justification that it "began as a call for peaceful protest."
Some corporations only listen when a lot of money is at stake. Maybe now that it's hit with a $1 billion lawsuit, Facebook finally will actually enforce its own stated policy!

Hello everyone!
I have purchased my first piece of cast-iron cookware. It's a 12" skillet I paid 3 dollars for at a garage sale the other day (talked the guy down from 5, slick Joe strikes again, heh-heh-heh!). The pan contained what appeared to be fossilized eggs and refried beans, which was my main point of focus during the course of our dickering.
So my odyssey to clean and season the sucker has begun. Cleaning was easy. I scrubbed with steel wool, washed with dish soap, dried with towel, put in oven for the full course of self cleaning, 4 hours. After an hour or so for the pan to cool, I removed it and duplicated the entire process only using 80 grit sandpaper this time. Repeated once more, again using sandpaper.
So now seasoning. Figuring out which method to use has been a thoroughly confusing process. There are more variations on what type of fat/oil/temp/time/number of repetitions than there are prairie dogs in Kansas. That's a lot, believe me. Rather than choose one combination I printed out a list of temperatures, times and oils and employed the time tested, tried and true good 'ol dartboard random selection method. In case you are curious, the winning combo was 450 degrees, filtered bacon grease and 1 hour, 3 applications. After sobering up, I decided that the best approach would be to go to consult with the company that produces the most frequently recommended product.
Thus my phone call to the Crisco questions/comments hotline. Maria was super friendly, very helpful. So, here's the scoop from Crisco: 1 thin layer of regular Crisco shortening (butter flavored apparently will leave an undesirable film and flavor), applied with a paper towel, 200 degrees for 4 to 6 hours. And that's it. 1 application.
It occurred to me while attempting to de-glaze my eyes reading about the scientific processes at work in seasoning that the smoke point was important. Basically, we want the oil to dry but to remain and in so doing produce what is essentialy a shellac on the pan, right? So allowing the lubricant to heat to the point of smoking seems a bad thing. Smoke is the byproduct of the lubricant burning, right? If it burns then some of it is being lost to combustion, floating out and making the house stinky. We're not forging some kind of metal here, we are hoping for a change in the composition of the lube.
There is also the consideration of flavor. After all, this is an implement for preparing food. I have read here and there that coconut oil, for example, will render a subtle flavoring to whatever is cooked in the vessel seasoned with it. Smoke, other than in ribs n' such, doesnt taste very good. This wholly un-scientific line of reasoning leads me to think that the lower temp approach endorsed by Crisco is sound and preferable to the higher temp approach. For what it's worth, the smoke temp of Crisco, according to lovely Maria, is 440 degrees. So 200 is well below the threshold for stinky smoky seasoning.
Now comes the time for decision. I'm going to use the Crisco method. However, I am going to do multiple applications. I'm going to aim for at least 5 and will update my posting with the results. I would like to get the thoughts/comments/suggestions of the highly learned culinary gastro-nauts of chowhound. so waddya say?

Joel and Dana of the blog Well Preserved are getting this nose-to-tail eating down to an art form with fruits and vegetables and Joel's dedication (he even scrubs the roots of leeks clean, dries and powders them) has motivated me to find more ways of making something useful out of the trimmings and leftovers from preparing fruits and veg for preserving.
After preparing this year's batch of the greatest tomato paste ever I had a pile of pulp and seeds leftover.
I spread the pulp on dehydrator racks covered with silicone sheets for making fruit leather. I've found plastic wrap spread on the racks works nearly as well as the sheets. If you're doing this in your oven I recommend covering a baking sheet with foil shined with a bare minimum of oil to prevent sticking.
The rack went into the dehydrator set at 135F. If you're using the oven set it at the lowest temperature with the door cracked. I have a terrible habit of just twisting the dehydrator timer on to 6 hours and walking away so I can't give you an exact time for how long the pulp took to dry but it was much less than 6 hours. More like 3-4 hours. But dehydrating isn't an exact science. Variables in humidity, moisture in the fruit or veg, how heavily loaded the dehydrator/oven is, all make an exact time impossible to determine. In this case the pulp was ready when it was crispy dry. Oven dried pulp needs to be watched far more closely because even at low temps it can go from dried to burned. So keep an eye on it and when it's crispy dry, pull it.
You can see that when the pulp was ready it bubbled up and pulled away from the sheet.
I allowed the sheet of pulp to cool to room temperature and then immediately broke it up into small pieces that fit inside my coffee/spice grinder. We've been having a lot of high humidity days here so it was imperative to not let the sheet sit to reabsorb moisture from the air. The grinder made short work of pulverizing the pulp and left me with a very intensely flavored tomato powder. I immediately moved the powder into a clean air tight container for storage. The grinding process kicks up a little heat in the powder which produces a little condensation as it cools. If the powder becomes a little too clumpy spread it out on a baking sheet and place it in a warm oven for just a minute or two. Remove the powder from the oven, pour on a piece of foil and allow it to cool to room temperature (another minute or two). When cool, pour it into an air tight container.
This powder will get stirred into all manner of things: soups, sauces, mayo, bread/biscuit/pasta doughs to name a few. I'm already in the process of drying celery and onions to make a "Holy Trinity" bouillon powder. Last week when sorting through this year's cured garlic the damaged cloves that wouldn't store were blanched, peeled, chopped fine, dried and powdered.
In addition to freezing good bits of veg to flavor liquid stocks with, I'm finding that the dehydrator is an excellent way to convert those bits into pieces and powders that will sit happily on the shelf until needed. Unfortunately, the chickens aren't as pleased as I am.
