Since the introduction of football, the development of football in Northern Ireland has undergoing ebb and flow at international level. There are many first-tier footballers who have played and made great contributions to the Northern Ireland football team. George Best is just one of them.
He was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland on May 22, 1946. At the beginning of his playing career, he played for Manchester United and the Northern Ireland national football team as a winger. In 1968, he was selected as the European Footballer of the Year and FWA Footballer after the winning of European Cup. He was widely regarded as the greatest footballer who pull on green Northern Ireland football shirt.
He began popular among football fans from his first appearance aged 17. As a lead goal-scorer of the league, he won 179 goals at 470 matches. As a versatile footballer, he combined his playing style, pace, skill, balance, feint and scoring ability together to defeat opposite teams. For his outstanding performance and brilliant achievements on football fields, he was awarded a name – El Beatle.

no tree is untouched by the wind
no tree is untouched by the wind is a sound installation inspired by R. Murray Schafer's idea of the soniferous garden, which he proposed as a space acoustically designed to inspire careful listening to one's aural space. Integrating an artistic practice in kinetic sound sculpture, new media technology, and acoustic instrument making, the installation uses a series of suspended bell-like metallophone automatons nested throughout Vancouver's Hadden park tree canopy to invite heightened states of sensing and listening to the surrounding environment.
Supported by Glenfraser Endowment Research Award in Acoustic Communication
studies for robotic marimba and disklavier
This piece explores the compositional affordances of mechanical instruments, using the extended precision of electro-mechanical devices to create dense layers of shifting harmonies and asymmetrical polyrhythms that form a puzzle-like structure. The collection of studies focuses on mapping an electronic minimalist approach to acoustic instruments, conjoining the seemingly divergent relationship between electronic music production and the physical space of musical instruments.

Exhibit | Dec 8 – Dec 13, 12-5pm (Except Sunday)
Performance | Dec 14, 8pm
pulses // patterns invites listeners into a spatial experience of a large-scale electronic and acoustic instrument. Formed from technology from the pipe organ and electronic organ building traditions, a custom array of rotary speakers and a single pipe-organ rank is interfaced with MIDI and micro-controllers to create a system of interlinked sonic objects. The installation conceives of the room's space as an unfolding sculpture, as the air is compressed, accelerated, and spun into sound by the mechanics of the instrument, which breathe heavily with droning chords and pulses that phase and synchronize over the duration of the composition.

'Aisatsana' for Player Piano
Composed by Richard D. James (Aphex Twin), 'aisatsana' is a Satie-esque piano piece inviting stillness and careful listening to one's surroundings. This mechanical and acoustic reproduction of 'aisatsana' uses a 100-year-old player piano to play a custom-made roll of the piece. Set in Hadden Park, the piano is recorded alongside visiting starlings and crows in the canopy above, creating a "live" version of the bird song heard in Aphex Twin's original version on the 2014 'Syro' album. An homage to Richard's signature blurring of the acoustic, electronic, and automatic, the meeting of the programmed player piano and the park's incidental soundscape invites one to reflect on notions of soundscape composition, 'liveness', and automation.
otonomi is a kinetic musical sculpture built using custom made electro-mechanical devices, metallophones, pipe organ, and drums to map electronic music approaches onto acoustic instruments in sculptural forms.
Pulsars is a sound installation that uses mechanical rotary speakers to explore sound, movement, and pulse. The work re-configures technologies associated with early 20th century era organ building tradition, when electronics were attempting to synthesize and recreate the acoustics of pipe organs. During this time, Donald Leslie invented the 'Leslie' rotary speaker to mimic the sonic quality of large, spatially dispersed pipe organs. In this piece I use 4 channel 'Leslie' rotary speaker array to sound a 25-minute composition to produce polyrhythmic pulses and a heightened awareness of the environment's spatial dynamics. The composite effect for the listener is a morphing and dynamic sense of space choreographed by the re-localizing movement of sound through the air.
Pulsars was featured at Vancouver New Music's 2016 Mechanical Music Festival.
Midnight Owl
Midnight Owl is a performance and recording project of minimalistic explorations into experimental and ambient territories. Using cello, organ, electronics, and field recordings, I invite deep and careful listening to the possibilities of sound as a material form to conjure the abstract. Performances throughout 2016 were given at the Big Joy Festival, Artswells, and the Field Gathering.
Gamelan Bike Bike
Gamelan Bike Bike found its musical inspiration from Bali, Indonesia and its raw materials from the scrap metal bins of Vancouver. Between 2012 and 2013 I collected over 100 discarded bicycle frames to build the instruments. The colorful metal scraps, configured into a series of metallophones instruments, created a platform for new experimentation with gamelan music on the West Coast. The ensemble has presented performances at the Western Front, the Surrey Art Gallery, the Vancouver Folk Music Festival and released Hi-Ten, a collection of original music with the Indonesia-based art collective and label Insitu Recordings on November 11, 2017, available at http://insiturec.com/hi-ten/
Press – Discorder Magazine Feature 2017
By invitation from Giorgio Magnensi, I participated in an ensemble that formed around replicas of Luigi Russolo's Intonarumori instruments, created for the Vancouver Art Gallery show MashUp: The Birth of Modern Culture. Curated by Martin Gottfrit, the performance explored Russolo's ideas of mechanical sound machines through a re-interpretation of his early written score, and a series of improvisational gestures. The ensemble featured Giorgio Magnanensi, Kedrick James, Jules Lavern, Mariah Mennie, and George Rahi.
Bass Piano
The Bass Piano is an experimental piano created by Andrew Wedman in 2016 as part of the Western Front's series 88 Tuned Bongos. Wedman, a musician and piano technician, tuned the piano down a full octave to A220, creating a unique tonal quality comparable to carillon bells and steel drums. Interested in the inharmonic overtones of the piano, pianist and composer Robyn Jacob and I prepared a suite of Colin McPhee's piano transcriptions for Balinese Gamelan. A performance was held on 3/31/2016 at the Western Front, and was later video documented at the Hadden Park Field house where the piano now resides.
Below is a video of a piece "Gambangan"
Colin Mcphee's Balinese Ceremonial Music – Piano Transcriptions (1940)
Played by Robyn Jacob and George Rahi on the 'Bass Piano'.
Recorded at the Hadden Park Fieldhouse, Vancouver on January 5th, 2017.
Bicycle Arpeggi
Bicycle Arpeggio is a kinetic musical sculpture created from re-purposed bicycle parts. The mechanism's design mimics that of a cylindrical music roll common in music boxes. Steel bike frame tubes, tuned by length, are placed around the rotating cylinder and act as both the programmable score and the source of sound. The multiple rotating cylinders interact with one another when ridden by multiple people, and can sound individually or blend together, allowing the rider(s) to choose when to actuate the striker mechanism. The composite effect is a series of fast melodic lines that go in and out of phase with one another. I lead the project' design and installation with support from members of the Publik Secrets artist collective. Bicycle Arpeggio was featured at Public Dreams' Illuminaries Festival in Vancouver and exhibited at Burning Man 2012.

Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass 1 & 2, Kingsmen: The Secret Service, Fantastic Four) has stated that he is "not happily done with the franchise." Responding to fans' queries, Vaughn wants to do a Kick-Ass 3, but feels that a prequel needs to be put out first. The prequel will focus on Kick-Ass 1's surprise sensations Hit Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) and Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage). Vaughn knows a prequel is necessary to win back fans after the poor showing of Kick-Ass 2. He explains,
"We're working on an idea for a prequel of how did Hit Girl and Big Daddy become Hit Girl and Big Daddy. If we make that, hopefully that will be the sorbet for the people that didn't like Kick-Ass 2, and then we can go off and make Kick-Ass 3. I think we've got to do this prequel to regain the love that we had with Kick-Ass."
Given that Moretz is already in her late teens, production needs to get a move on in order for the actress to reprise her role. But with the announcement that Matthew Vaughn will return to direct Kingsmen 2, that could postpone Kick-Ass plans a couple of more years, which essentially require a younger actress for the film Here's a look back at the original Kick-Ass trailer:

The Loch Raven Library building, closed earlier this year by Baltimore County belt-tightening, will reopen in three weeks as a community health center and as the headquarters for county child sex abuse investigations.
Starting July 1, the building will house the Towson Health Center and the Child Advocacy Center. County officials say they will save taxpayers $90,000 in annual lease payments by moving the two agencies from rented quarters elsewhere in Towson.
The county is spending $30,000 to get the building ready for its new occupants and to improve access to the handicapped. But by closing the library, the county has saved the $1 million voters had approved for library expansion and renovation.

I was appointed to the second increment Pre-commissioning crew in 1972. When construction fell behind schedule, my orders were cancelled. A few months later I received orders to the South Carolina DLGN-37 (later as the CGN-37) pre-commissioning crew. As an IC-1 I served until my discharge in December 1974. I still have my Captain's letter announcing my selection for the Nimitz crew, and other memorabilia. Prior to this I had served aboard the USS Enterprise.

For the first time in Russia the International Halal Medical Forum will be held in the framework of the International Congress-Exhibition Russian Halal Expo-2018.
According to the Islamic concept of health - a gift from God, which he is obliged to protect and manage the best way. "Halal" is a whole system of a healthy lifestyle. The particular attention is paid not only to the maintenance of person's physical condition, but also to intellectual, emotional and spiritual well-being, since physical health is inextricably linked with other aspects of life.
Recently, the popularity of non-traditional methods of treatment and prevention of various diseases is growing. The knowledge and experience of people, accumulated for thousands of years and carefully transferred from generation to generation, prove their effectiveness and uniqueness in our time. The main advantage of such a technique is the use of natural remedies that have a sparing effect on the work of the whole organism. Methods of treatment and prevention of diseases in Islam are based on such types of healing as hijama, apitherapy, phytotherapy, hirudotherapy and some others.
The International Halal Medical Forum aims to unite the Muslim medical community to promote a comprehensive development and promotion of halal medicine, professional growth of specialists, as well as to expand and strengthen the international cooperation, exchange of experience of new technologies in the non-traditional medicine sector.
Within the framework of the forum there will be held master classes, round tables and seminars, where leading experts and representatives of the Muslim community will discuss the most important issues and practical solutions on the most relevant topics of the forum.
The participants and guests of the exhibition will be able to get acquainted with the best producers of medical products "Halal", learn the latest innovations in the field of pharmaceuticals, vaccinations, cosmetology, and increase their awareness of the methods of halal medicine.
The International Congress-exhibition Russian Halal Expo-2018 will be held from 26 to 28 April in Moscow, Expocentre Fairgrounds, Pavilion № 5. The organizer of the event is "Shine of Orient Corporation" LLC, in co-organization with the International Center for Halal Standardization and Certification of Russia Muftis Council.

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Army has introduced new regulations under which service members (males and females) are allowed to wear turbans or headscarves, and grow beards in order to make the force more inclusive of minority religions and cultures.
The new rules were issued by Secretary of the Army Eric Fanning that allow female Muslim soldiers to wear hijab while performing their duty.
After the new regulation, the brigade-level commanders will be authorised to grant accommodations to servicemen and women who wear beards, turbans, or hijabs for religious reasons. The female soldiers can also wear cornrows, dreadlocks and twists, as long as they are uniform and neat.
It is important to mention here that more female Muslim U.S. citizens take active part in different spheres of life in the country. 2016 marked the first time a Muslim headscarf-wearing woman was elected as a lawmaker.

Moapa Valley Progress
It was a solemn gathering at the Overton Park pavilion area on Monday, October 2. About 75 people assembled at 7:00 pm in the park to pray together, to grieve, and to try to come to some understanding of the tragic recent events.
Just the night before, chaos had erupted at the Route 91 Harvest festival on the Las Vegas strip. A lone gunman had opened fire on the concert crowd below from the windows of his 32nd floor suite at the Mandalay Bay. By the time the mayhem had ended, 59 people were killed and 489 were wounded. It was the largest mass shooting in modern American history.
The news was shocking to the world, but especially to nearby Moapa Valley residents. There were many local connections. Most locals soon found that they knew people who had been killed, injured, or in attendance at the massacre. By Monday night, emotions were high in the community.
"I spent the whole day today listening to the news and my heart was just broken," said Overton resident Lois Hall on Monday night. Hall had organized the local prayer vigil.
"I just got more and more upset, wondering what I could do," she said. "But I realized that there is really nothing that I can do except to pray. So I decided to try and get the community together for this."
As community members arrived at the park, candles were lit for the vigil. Clergy members from many local churches and their families were in attendance to offer comforting words and prayer.
Pastor Wayne Evans of New Hope Christian Church said that in life it is natural that we have periods of mourning. He cited the shortest verse in the Bible, John 11:35 where "Jesus wept."
"It was when he saw his friends at the tomb of Lazarus and he was full of compassion," Evans said. "At times like this we grieve together and we come together to pray."
Moapa Christian Church Pastor Paul Howard gave a prayer asking for people to be blessed with understanding of the tragic events that had so defied understanding.
"With understanding that comes from God, fears dispell and we can find peace in the midst of suffering," Howard said.
Pastor Jason Ham of Calvary Community Church prayed for "peace to those who weep." He prayed that those injured would receive effective treatment and be returned to health, that the angry would have their anger replaced by peace, and that the confused would find hope and order.
Lake Mead Baptist Pastor Scott Adams said that encounters with evil and senseless violence often causes people to doubt and to have questions: "Why such evil is allowed." He prayed that "…only by the grace and mercy of the Lord can we have hope."
Some of those in attendance at the vigil had also been part of the terrorized crowd at the country music concert the night before. Local resident Kacie Martino had attended the concert with her mom Tracey Pirtle. Fortunately, they had been positioned toward the back of the audience area when the shots began firing. They were able to flee to safety without injury.
"We talked about it, but what if we had actually moved to the area just in front of the stage?" said Martino. "It is that question that keeps coming back to me now."
The two women ended up staying up all night long Sunday night sequestered in a nearby hotel building. At around 4:30 am they walked from Tropicana to Paradise Ave where the roads were open. There a family member, whom they had called, was able to pick them up and take them home.
"I haven't slept since 6:30 yesterday morning," Martino said. "It has been almost impossible to calm down and rest."
Martino has three young children age 8, 6 and 3. Naturally, they were curious about the incident.
"How do you explain something like that to them?" she said. "All I could says is that there were a lot of mommies that are not coming home to their kids tonight. It is hard for them to understand."
Eddie Houston, the son of Overton residents Rick and Lori Houston was also at the festival with a group of friends. But when the bullets began flying he was right in the middle of it. He was located right down close to the stage on one side, Lori Houston said. He was one of the lucky ones that was able to get out of the area okay without injury.
"He was seeing people he was trying to help get shot right in front of him," Lori Houston said. "He saw horrible things that a person his age – any age – should never have to see. And he is going to live with that for a long time."
Lois Hall was pleased with the turnout at the candlelight vigil and with the quiet peace that prevailed there.
"I'm so grateful to all of the clergy that were here and the words that they gave," she said. "And I so appreciate the support of all the community members for their participation."

What we have now does not work.
- The two party system results in gridlock, inefficiencies, corruption and waste.
- The military rules, and takes most of, the budget and seems destined to start new wars in more and more Arab/Moslem countries.
- Uncle Sam, (my collective term for our "leaders", their lobbyists and the corporations that control them), embrace unrestricted immigration in favor of illiterate, non-english speaking third worlders while imposing "quotas" on educated, english speaking people from Europe, etc.
- Uncle Sam cannot manage the budget or the national debt.
- Wall Street is run by unscrupulous, greedy and unpatriotic "money changers" who need to be "cast out of the temple".
Our future requires change in order for us to have a future at all.

text: The church recently undertook a journey to enhance its physical structure through a capital campaign raising $3.7 million. Construction of a new 15,000 square foot social hall, office complex, and education wing was finished in fall, 2011. We celebrated paying off the mortgage in January, 2013. This building, which made our campus fully handicap accessible, speaks to the church's open and welcoming ideology and our belief that the building is an integral part of the community ministry of dialogue, personal enrichment, and support. We currently offer space for Boy Scouts, Alcoholics and Overeaters Anonymous, South Church Preschool, community organizations, and several adult education classes. The High Street School enhances our potential for community-based mission; the enlarged church building fosters growth in our discipleship education ministry and open considerable space and opportunity for enhanced mission based activities.

Most of us buy our fruits and vegetables, bring them home and put them in the fridge. When we are ready to eat them, we give our produce a good rinsing to get rid of any dirt or pesticides that were used at the farm. And we think this is enough; we think a good rinse should be enough to get rid of any germs or chemicals that we don't want in our bodies; however, some of your favorite produce is actually much filthier than you think.
Here are the five dirtiest fruits and vegetables and what to do to make them cleaner and safer to eat.
The most common fruit consumed in the United States is also the filthiest. Apples are like small children: they need a lot of attention and protection to keep them safe. Apples are covered in chemicals to protect them from insects, diseases and mold; in fact, over 45 different chemicals are sprayed on apples during farming. Sure, washing them will eliminate some, but it is impossible to get rid of all of the chemicals found on apples. The best solution for this is to buy naturally grown apples; but you will have to shell out more cash.
Experts call celery the dirtiest vegetable available. According to recent studies, celery is sprayed with over 65 different chemicals during its cultivation, including 13 pesticides. What makes celery even more dangerous is that because the vegetable does not have an outer skin worthy of offering protection coupled with the shape of the stalk makes it very difficult to clean. Once again, your best solution to counter these chemicals is to buy organically grown celery, which may prove impossible depending on where you live.
My personal favorite fruit is chalk full of chemicals and pesticides. Because cherries, like peaches and blueberries, have a thin outer skin, they are not well protected against these chemicals. The best solution with cherries is to buy imported cherries from Europe since the chemicals used during their cultivation are less than their American cousins.
Bell peppers
Bell peppers also have a very thin skin, making them specifically susceptible to pesticides. In fact, according to recent reports, bell peppers have been shown to contain over 60 different types of pesticides, which no matter how hard you try to get rid of them, some are destined to stick. Once again, go organic to rid your body of harmful chemicals.
Yet another thin-skinned fruit, grapes are particularly harmful if you purchase imported grapes. The same is also true if you are a fan of imported wine, as the vineyard may use up to twice the amount of pesticides as a regular grape farm. If you want grapes and you can't live without them, go organic once again. For wine, California is as good a place to grow grapes as any European country, so enjoy some local wine instead.

An unusual and lovely addition to a landscape is the weeping pussy willow tree. Many people are familiar with the soft, fuzzy pussy willows that appear each spring; often, these stalks with the little buds are the focus of an afternoon family outing. When planted in the yard and allowed to grow into a tree, this plant can easily become the focal point in the landscape.
Willows have been around for centuries, and have the distinction of being the first tree that was planted specifically for the purpose of harvesting the wood and twigs. In very early days, the supple twigs were widely used in making baskets and so were trimmed regularly. Every few years, certain trees were marked for cutting and used in fashioning poles that could be utilized in building. This planned harvesting kept the groves vigorous and flourishing while also supplying the materials that were needed.
Several types of willow are commonly found; the French Pussy Willow, Goat Willow, European Willow and the American Pussy Willow. The newest trend is growing a Weeping Pussy Willow Tree; a diminutive form of its magnificent antecedent that can provide a showy display in yards or even within the home when containerized.
The difference between a traditional pussy willow shrub and the weeping variety is that the stems grow inverted. They are trained to present their "weeping" form as they achieve height during their normal growing periods. In appearance, the two varieties are quite similar. In the early spring, the thin brownish red branches are decorated by the emergence of large, fluffy ovals of cottony soft catkins; the signature feature that provided the tree with its name. The fuzzy buds are similar to the feel of the fur belonging to baby kittens, or pussies as they were called in days past. Hoods of gold embellish these silvery catkins; eye catching traits that glisten when touched by the sun's rays. The soft nubs remain for a few weeks until they are replaced by the thin, green leaves that will fill out the tree throughout the season. Even in the autumn and winter, when the leaves have departed, the tree continues to provide its interest and appeal from the bowing branches that curtain down to the ground.
Adding the Weeping Pussy Willow Tree to your garden collection can be easy. An established two to three foot cascading tree can be difficult to obtain, and pricey when it is located. The tree can easily be started from a simple cutting for those who have an established tree available. As a softwood variety, cuttings from the tree should be done in late spring; around the end of May or early June. Timing is crucial; earlier than this, and the stems will be too soft to work with while later will provide branches that have already become too rigid. Choose tip ends only, which will be the newest growth on the stem. Make a cutting of approximately 4", and strip off leaves from the lower stem only. This will leave you with a stem that has a few leaves at the tip. Using a sharp knife, lightly scrape the cut end of the stem, starting from the bottom and ending about 2" up. Treat the cuts with a rooting compound that can be bought at any garden center. Place the cut ends in a jar that is partially filled with coarse sand and keep the sand continually moist. An intermittent mist system is the best method of keeping them dampened. Keep the cuttings in partial sun during the rooting process. Once roots emerge, the tree can be transplanted.
For a touch of elegance and interest, the Weeping Pussy Willow Tree is the plant of choice. Adding four season interest while being easily maintained, this tree will be a conversation piece as well as ornamental value in your yard.

6 Tips for Choosing a Contractor to Repair Plaster Walls and Ceilings
If you own an older home (especially a pre-war house), you are likely to have plaster walls or ceilings. The operative word here is "older", so you may have plaster repair high on your list of weekend projects. But what if you're not the handyman-type, or the job is simply too involved to handle independently? In that case, you'll need to hire a contractor to fix that cracked plaster wall or ceiling.
Please don't rush the decision.
Your historic plaster is a treasure and should be treated accordingly. We've been in the business for many years and we've seen many different types of contractors on the job. Thus, we've put our heads together to create 6 surefire tips for choosing a contractor:
1. Ask around
Do you have friends with older homes? Ask if they've had their plaster repaired. Did the contractor take the time and consideration to repair the damaged plaster or did he simply rip it out and replace it with drywall. You want a contractor who appreciates the value of plaster in a home. Your friends and family will give you honest, no-nonsense feedback.
2. The more the merrier
Don't be afraid to seek estimates from several different contractors. Ask for references (if they refuse to give references, this is a good sign that you need to walk away) and follow up.
3. Background checks
Put on your Dick Tracy cap and do some sleuthing. Is the contractor accredited by the Better Business Bureau (you can do a quick and easy search at BBB's website)? Is he a member of a trade association? Is he insured? Is he trained in plaster restoration? How long has the business existed? Does he have any complaints logged with the Office of Consumer Protection (do a quick Google search for your local CPA and follow up.)?
4. Do Your Homework
Scout around the world wide web and research plaster repair. It's more of an art than you might think, and it's important that your contractor is doing things correctly. Plus, if you come to the negotiating table with a thorough knowledge base -- you'll impress the contractor if you know the difference between a scratch coat and finish coat -- you'll feel much more confident.
5. Beware the Low Bid
Be cautious of bids that come in much lower than other estimates. The contractor may talk a good talk, but these too-good-to-be-true bids often have a way of incurring "unforeseen expenses" as the job progresses. In the long run, the extra money you pay up front for quality, timely work will pay for itself (think of all the money you'll save on ibuprofen without the headaches!).
6. Trust Your Instinct
Do you get a bad feeling from the guy standing in your living room? Listen to that inner voice. Communication and trust are a huge part of the contractor/homeowner relationship -- don't get stuck with someone you don't feel good about, even if they pass all the above tests.
We understand that your home is probably the biggest investment you'll ever make. We also understand that you want to maintain that home, not just to increase value but also to look beautiful.
Once you've hired the right man or woman for the job, be sure they know about Big Wally's Plaster Magic for reattaching loosened plaster to lath. You and your contractor won't be disappointed.
Happy plastering.

Every farmer should have these five signed and notarized documents: 1) Will, 2) Advance Health Care Directives, 3) Durable Power of Attorney to Make Health Care Decisions, 4) Durable Power of Attorney to Make Business Decisions, and a 5) Letter of Instruction.
These are the minimum documents every farmer—actually every adult—should have in place to assist family members, other loved ones, business associates, and others who might become involved in case you become disabled or die.
A recent estimate indicates 55 percent of the U.S. population will die without a will (Harris Interactive for Martindale-Hubbell, 2007). An even greater proportion does not have advance health care directives.
Increasingly, farm and ranch families approach me to request assistance with succession planning issues. The issues usually involve sticky relationships with family members and specific desires about how the elders want their land to be divided and farmed by their successors.
Here are a few words about each document. The will is familiar to most people. It says who inherits your property – both the assets and debts, as well as who you designate as the executor to carry out these actions, and one or more alternates.
For practical purposes, the will is your estate plan. It might involve creation of a trust to provide income to your spouse or partners after you die. It indicates what happens to the property after the last person covered by the trust dies. Your will eliminates many of the disputes that might arise among your successors, making your passing and their lives easier.
Although there are free kits available online, I advise farm people to consult an attorney to help devise the will and any supporting legal documents such as a trust. Be sure to understand how property ownership is specified in land deeds and tax implications.
Advance health care directives indicate the medical procedures you desire to maintain your life, if a health crisis emerges. Advance directives usually involve a living will and to whom you give durable power of attorney (POA) to make health care decisions when you are incapable of making these choices.
The living will specifies medical procedures you want or would not want to keep you alive. Often the treating hospital and physicians are not aware of a patient's living will and follow their oath—and legal requirement– to maintain life as long as possible, even if that is not what you wanted.
Forms to construct a living will and POAs to make healthcare or business decisions are available online, as well as from many hospitals, clinics and attorney offices. Be sure to use the form for your state or province. It is best to give a notarized copy of the living will and durable power of attorney form to your physician(s) and to the institutions that are likely to provide you care. The POA should specify who has primary responsibility to make these decisions and at least one alternate.
I consulted the Gundersen Lutheran Hospital in La Crosse, Wisconsin for some of the information in this article. It has a helpful website (www.gundluth.org/AdvanceCare) with information about advance care planning. I recommend you sit down with your physician(s), and perhaps the persons to whom you give POA to make healthcare decisions, to review the end-of-life procedures you wish to implement.
The durable power of attorney to make business decisions document indicates who you want to make business transactions, pay your taxes and carry out other business activities when you are unable to do these things, and names at least one alternate. It helps to give these persons the right to make bank deposits and payments, to sign checks, and to have access to your safe deposit box in case you become incapacitated. The designees will need to sign necessary forms at your bank.
It is advisable to write a letter of instruction to accompany your will. Give a copy to the executor of your will. This document should indicate the following, if relevant to your situation:
Where important documents such as insurance policies, saving accounts, loans, leases, POA s and any other significant information are kept,
Instructions for the care of dependents such as minor children, and
Instructions indicating how you want your land to be farmed.
The letter of instruction is not legally binding but in many ways is the most important of the five critical documents listed because it helps your survivors know your wishes.
Besides these, other recommended documents you might want to consider are the following: a funeral plan, an organ donor card, a wallet-sized card indicating who has health care decision POA and where to reach these persons.
The documents described in this article give psychological comfort to you and your successors, as well as save legal costs, and in many cases, medical costs.

It was nearly three years ago when Willie Williams III was shot and killed outside the Ford City Mall movie theater. But the pain is still fresh for his father. He is now dedicated to make it more difficult for kids to get hold of guns.
"We as families and parents, we think that it can slow up the flow of guns getting to the streets," said Willie Williams Jr., victim's father.
Williams is one of several parents of children killed by gun violence who spoke at St. Sabina Church on Monday night. In the audience were dozens of college students on spring break from Howard and Princeton. They have skipped the typical spring break parties and instead are in Chicago for the week to work for gun control legislation.
"I got upset all over again. I think it's important for things that make you uncomfortable, things like that. I started wondering why more people aren't uncomfortable," said LaShondra Booker, Howard University senior.
The event was organized by St. Sabina pastor, Fr. Michael Pfleger, one of the city's leading voices for gun control. Some of the students spend part of the day calling state lawmakers to lobby them in favor of a bill putting new restrictions on some private sales of guns.
"I want to commend the students because it shows their compassion and commitment and I believe that they are the best representatives of what an educated democratic society is," said State Sen. Jacqueline Collins, (D) Chicago.
The bill has the support of a number of House members but there is plenty of opposition as well. A group of gun owners went to Springfield last week to lobby.
The Illinois National Rifle Association says there are already laws to track legal gun sales.

So this is not about the actual war, but it's a little glimpse of domestic life from the time. It sounds very similar to a runaway slave ad, especially the final line.
It is from the Covington Journal of July 4, 1862.
Whereas my wife Mary Hathaway has left my bed and board without any cause therefore; This is to warn all persons not to harbor or trust her on my account as I shall pay no bills of her contracting after this date, and shall hold all persons responsible for harboring her away from my house. I shall demand all money she shall earn as wages.
July 3, 1862, John Hathaway

The interfaces on the Amiga 570 and 590 are clearly unique. Unlike the other Amiga disk drives, which reside on the Amigas "Floppy" bus, these drives actually plug into the Amiga 500s expansion bus (where memory expansion, CPU upgrades, and other peripherals would also go).
The A570 was released in 1991 soon after the CDTV. Its purpose was actually to allow an Amiga 500 to emulate the CDTV unit by providing not only the necessary proprietary interface CD-ROM drive, but by also providing the CDTV ROM chips as well.
The A590 includes an RDB and SCSIDirect compatible SCSI adaptor along with 2 megabytes of RAM expansion. The A590 also includes an XTIDE interface, which is the 8-bit version of the modern ATA IDE. Reportedly, some 590s were actually shipped with XTIDE drives, though most included SCSI units.

Jake Wallis Simons (Telegraph Blog, April 10) claims that Standpoint "has a lot to answer for" by publishing the article "Was crucifixion a Jewish penalty?" by Geza Vermes in our current (April) issue. He accuses us of reawakening the myth that the Jews were responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus and of "anti-Semitism of the highest order". For good measure, Mr Simons denigrates Prof Vermes as "an odd character".
That is indeed a bizarre way to refer to one of the most eminent Jewish scholars alive, celebrated throughout the academic world for his pioneering work on the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Jewish Jesus and most recently the early Church. Professor emeritus of Jewish Studies at Oxford, he has also been the editor of the Journal of Jewish Studies since 1971. As for Standpoint: the magazine is well known, not merely for being "friendly to Israel" (as even Simons admits), but for defending the Judaeo-Christian values of Western civilisation.
In his article, Prof Vermes uses evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls to demonstrate that the penalty of crucifixion was not only used by the Romans but also sanctioned by Jewish law for political crimes. One example was the crucifixion of 800 Pharisees by the Jewish high priest-king Alexander Jannaeus, recounted by the historian Josephus.
Mr Simons takes exception to Prof Vermes's speculative conclusion, in which he asks whether the chief priests of Jerusalem "might have condemned Jesus to crucifixion" for provoking Roman repression, and responds thus: "His political crime should have been punished by crucifixion in the light of the legislation enacted in the Temple Scroll [found at Qumran]." But Prof Vermes concludes that "according to the New Testament trial accounts of questionable historicity, [the chief priests] decided to pass the buck and let Pilate do the dirty work". He nowhere suggests that Jesus was in fact crucified by the Jewish authorities.
Yours faithfully
Daniel Johnson
Editor, Standpoint

Source and Description:
Environment and Climate Change Canada – National Inventory Report
This stacked column graph shows GHG emissions in B.C. by sector every five years from 1990 to 2015 in MT of CO2e. Total GHG emissions have increased in B.C. from 52 MT of CO2e in 1990 to 61 MT of CO2e in 2015.
Energy Production
Crude Oil
- British Columbia (B.C.) produced 62.6 thousand barrels per day (Mb/d) of crude oil in 2016 (Figure 1). All B.C. production is light oil (conventional light or pentanes plus), and is generally from the northeast portion of the province.
- B.C.'s production represented 1.6% of total Canadian production, ranking it 4th after Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
Refined Petroleum Products (RPPs)
- B.C. has two refineries with a combined capacity of 70 Mb/d: Husky in Prince George and Parkland in Burnaby.
- Husky has a capacity of 13 Mb/d and mostly consumes light and synthetic crude oil from western Canada.
- Parkland has a capacity of 57 Mb/d and mostly consumes heavier western Canadian crude transported via the Trans Mountain Pipeline. Parkland Fuels acquired the refinery from Chevron in April 2017.
Natural Gas/Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs)
- In 2016, natural gas production in B.C. averaged 4.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) (Figure 1). B.C.'s production represented about 29% of total Canadian natural gas production in 2016.
- Natural gas is produced in the northeastern part of B.C., led by the Montney formation. Development of tight gas in the Montney is the primary factor behind B.C.'s gas production doubling between 2006 and 2016.
- Other significant gas resources are located in the Horn River and Liard Basins. B.C.'s marketable natural gas resource has been assessed by the NEB at 576 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), with 547.5 Tcf remaining at year-end 2015.
- In 2016, field production of NGLs was 65 Mb/d. B.C.'s NGL production represents about 9% of total Canadian production. Small volumes of propane and butane are also produced at B.C.'s two refineries.
- AltaGas' Ridley Island Propane Export Terminal announced a final investment decision in January 2017. The facility will be constructed near Price Rupert and will transport a maximum of 46 Mb/d of propane to Asia-Pacific markets when completed in 2019.
Electricity and Renewables
- In 2016, B.C. generated 74.5 terawatt hours (TW.h) of electricity (Figure 2), which is approximately 11% of total Canadian generation. B.C. is the 4th largest producer of electricity in Canada and has a generating capacity of 17 717 megawatts (MW).
- BC Hydro generates most of B.C.'s electricity. Independent power producers operate several smaller hydroelectric plants as well as all the biomass and wind facilities.
- About 88% of electricity in B.C. is produced from hydroelectric sources. B.C. is home to over 15 700 MW of hydroelectric capacity, most of which is located on the Columbia River in southeastern B.C. and the Peace River in northeastern B.C (Figure 3). Site C, a new large hydroelectric facility, is currently under construction on the Peace River.
- BC Hydro is also entitled to half of the power generated on the Columbia River in the U.S. as a result of the Columbia River Treaty, which was signed in 1961. The agreement was created to manage water flows and downstream flooding in the United States (U.S.). The Columbia River Basin provides over 40% of B.C.'s electrical power.
- Biomass, which relies mostly on waste from B.C.'s extensive forestry industry, is used to generate about 9% of B.C.'s electricity. Other sources of power include wind, natural gas, and petroleum (used in off-grid communities).
Energy Transportation and Trade
Crude Oil and Liquids
- There are two major crude oil pipelines in B.C.: Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain Pipeline and Pembina's NEBC/Western Pipeline (Figure 4).
- The Trans Mountain Pipeline delivers crude oil and refined petroleum products from Edmonton, Alberta to Kamloops, Burnaby, and the U.S. In November 2016, the Government of Canada granted approval for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, which would increase system capacity from the current 300 Mb/d to 890 Mb/d.
- The NEBC/Western Pipeline has a 50 Mb/d capacity and ships crude oil from Taylor, B.C. to the Prince George refinery and to an interconnect with Trans Mountain in Kamloops. The NEBC portion of the system transports liquids, including condensate produced in the Montney region, to Taylor.
- There are two crude oil rail offloading facilities in B.C., both located in Burnaby. The Parkland refinery has a facility capable of offloading about 7 Mb/d of crude oil. Nearby, Bulk Plus operates a facility capable of offloading about 3 Mb/d of crude oil.
Natural Gas
- In general, natural gas produced in B.C. is either: delivered to demand centres in B.C. on pipelines operated by Spectra Westcoast, FortisBC, or Pacific Northern Gas (PNG); exported to Alberta and beyond on TransCanada's Nova Gas Transmission Limited system; or exported to the U.S. (Figure 5).
- B.C. natural gas is exported to the U.S. Pacific Northwest at the Huntingdon export point, where Westcoast connects with Williams' Northwest Pipeline; or exported to the U.S. Midwest via the Alliance Pipeline, which runs through Alberta to the Alameda, Saskatchewan export point.
- FortisBC distributes gas to approximately 1.1 million customers in 135 communities on over
2 800 kilometres (km) of pipelines. PNG serves approximately 40 thousand customers in the corridor between Summit Lake and Prince Rupert, and in the Fort St. John and Dawson Creek area. FortisBC and PNG are provincially regulated by the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC).
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
- FortisBC operates the small-scale Tilbury Island LNG facility near Vancouver. The facility has been in operation since 1971 and serves local markets during peak winter demand. Tilbury also provides LNG for fleet vehicles and in recent years started producing LNG for electricity generation in Whitehorse, Yukon and Inuvik, NWT.
- Tilbury has a current storage capacity of 560 million cubic feet (MMcf) and liquefaction capabilities of 4.7 MMcf/d. An expansion of the facility is scheduled for completion in 2017. Once complete, storage capacity will almost double to 1 025 MMcf and liquefaction capabilities will increase nearly five-fold to 31.7 MMcf/d.
- Several more small-scale LNG plants are proposed near Fort Nelson, B.C.
- Many large-scale LNG export facilities have been proposed for the B.C. coast. Since 2010, the NEB has issued 26 natural gas export licenses for B.C. projects. To date, none have started construction, but Pacific Oil & Gas Limited's Woodfibre LNG project near Squamish did reach a final investment decision in 2016 and clean-up work of the site commenced in 2017.
- All LNG export facilities would be regulated by the BCUC.
- In 2016, B.C.'s net electricity exports were 5.5 TW.h. B.C. trades primarily with the U.S., and to a lesser extent, Alberta.
- On an annual basis, B.C. is occasionally a net importer of electricity but because of its ability to buy electricity from the U.S. when prices are lower and sell to the U.S. when prices are higher, B.C. often has a positive trade revenue balance.
- B.C. has more than 18 000 km of electricity transmission lines and more than 55 000 km of distribution lines. Four interconnections link B.C.'s electricity system with systems in Alberta and the U.S.
Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
Total Energy Consumption
- End-use demand in B.C. was 1 168 petajoules (PJ) in 2015. The largest sector for energy demand was industrial at 48% of total demand, followed by transportation at 29%, residential at 13%, and commercial at 11% (Figure 6). B.C.'s total energy demand was the fourth largest in Canada, but the sixth largest on a per capita basis.
- Refined petroleum products, including gasoline and diesel, were the largest fuel-type consumed in B.C., accounting for 431 PJ, or 37%. Natural gas, electricity and biofuels accounted for 355 PJ (30%), 193 PJ (17%) and 182 PJ (16%), respectively (Figure 7). B.C. is the largest biofuels consumer in Canada in absolute and in percentage terms primarily because of its large forestry sector that generates electricity from waste wood.
Refined Petroleum Products
- Most of the gasoline consumed in B.C. comes from Alberta, delivered primarily via the Trans Mountain Pipeline. Gasoline is also produced in B.C.'s two refineries. Less than 10% the gasoline consumed in B.C. is imported via ship or barge from the U.S. Pacific Northwest.
- B.C. is the fourth largest Canadian market for RPPs, after Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta. Total 2016 demand in B.C. for RPPs was 197 Mb/d, or 11% of total Canadian RPP demand. Of B.C.'s total demand, 87 Mb/d was for motor gasoline and an estimated 66 Mb/d was for diesel.
Natural Gas Consumption
- B.C. consumed an average of 0.76 Bcf/d of natural gas in 2016, which represented 9% of total Canadian demand.
- The largest consuming sector for natural gas was the industrial sector, which consumed 0.47 Bcf/d in 2016. The residential and commercial sectors consumed 0.14 Bcf/d and 0.11 Bcf/d, respectively.
Electricity Consumption
- In 2015, annual electricity consumption per capita in B.C. was 11.2 megawatt hours (MW.h). B.C. ranked 9th in Canada for per capita electricity consumption and consumed 23% less than the national average.
- B.C.'s largest consuming sector for electricity in 2015 was industrial at 23.8 TW.h. The residential and commercial sectors consumed 16.8 TW.h and 12.6 TW.h, respectively. B.C.'s electricity demand has decreased 13% since 2005.
GHG Emissions
- B.C.'s GHG emissions in 2015 were 60.9 megatonnes (MT) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). Emissions have increased 17% since 1990.Footnote 1
- B.C.'s emissions per capita are one of the lowest in Canada, at 12.8 tonnes of CO2e – 36% below the national average of 20.1 tonnes per capita.
- The largest emitting sectors in B.C. are transportation at 37% of emissions, oil and gas at 22%, and buildings (residential and commercial) at 12% (Figure 8).
- B.C.'s GHG emissions from the oil and gas sector in 2015 were 13.7 MT CO2e. Of this total, 12.9 MT were attributable to production, processing, and transmission and 0.8 MT were attributable to petroleum refining and natural gas distribution.
- About 98% of the electricity produced in B.C. comes from renewable sources. In 2015, B.C.'s power sector generated 0.4 MT CO2e emissions, which represents 0.5% of Canada's total GHG emissions from power generation.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 143876
ghex fails build on x86_64
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:57 EST
Created attachment 109188 [details]
suggested patch to allow ghex building on x86_64 when popt.i386 is installed
ghex-2.8.0-3 did not build for preextras. Seems an insatlled opot package for
i386 is the troublemaker. Without it it builds fine, but if you use the
rpath-check from fedora-rpmdevtools the build also failes with:
+ /usr/lib/rpm/check-rpaths /usr/lib/rpm/check-buildroot
ERROR: file '/usr/bin/ghex2' contains a standard rpath '/usr/lib64' in [/usr/lib64]
Fehler: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.79246 (%install)
The attached patch fixes both problems. Discussion on the patch:
I've followed the discussion on fedora-extras [thanks for the Cc
anyway!], but unfortunately I don't have access to any system suitable
for package development at the moment, and, for reasons at least
partially beyond my control, I don't know when I will, so I'm not sure
when I can deal with this.
The no-scrollkeeper patch is essentially identical, right (i.e. except
for different line numbers)?

Ahh, okay. Good to know. Maybe I'll try to fix this package together
with Michael or someone else so we can at least build an x86_64
version. If you have problems with that: Just say and I'll stop!
>The no-scrollkeeper patch is essentially identical, right
Yes -- it was only neccessary due to the autoreconf stuff.
OK. You have my blessing to go ahead, and please coordinate it with
Created attachment 109529 [details]
second try to fix ghex2 on x86_64 -- uses make parm LIBTOOL=
as discussed with mschwendt on fedora-extras-list; Build and execution tested
on x86_64 and i386
Applied in CVS.
[didn't mean to close this yet -- that was an accident ;)]
Fixed in ghex-2.8.1-2.x86_64.rpm
