Happy birthday Mick O'Dwyer!
The great Waterville man won four All-Irelands as a player for Kerry, before managing his county to an astonishing eight All-Ireland titles. From there, he would go on to bring Leinster glory to Kildare and Laois, and even a Tommy Murphy Cup to Wicklow. He was recently voted by Balls.ie readers as the greatest Irish sporting manager of all time.
Today, he turns 85, and in celebration of his birthday, we offer you four incredible Micko stories that you may not have heard before. In early 2018, RTE aired a wonderful documentary on the man produced by Loosehorse. The country fell in love with Micko all over again watching the film, which had a lot of ground to cover in an hour. While it did touch on some of his roguish elements, there was just too much success to cover to dwell on it too much.
Here are four great Mick O'Dwyer stories that didn't make it into the documentary yet still go to the heart of the man, whom Tomás O'Sé calls "one of the finest rogues we ever produced".
Mick O'Dwyer Stories:
The Butter Crisis
Micko had an uncanny talent for squeezing out of a tight corner, football, financial, or otherwise. For example, during a butter crisis of decades gone past...
They [the Kerry players] drove in their cars to National League games through every winter, and O'Dwyer would always leave as if he were making a getaway. Hurry, hurry. Top speed to Waterville where he would have a band playing in his ballroom every Sunday night.
Sometimes on the way home he would stop in a small town and point out a car and ask one of the players to get out and drive the car to Waterville. Once, during a butter crisis which led to rationing and a voucher system, they stopped somewhere in Meath and O'Dwyer disappeared into a house.
Five minutes later he reappeared, looking for help, carrying large boxes of butter to the boot of the car.
Source - Dublin v Kerry, published by Penguin.
Thanks to John Gilhooley who shared this on Twitter. It is recalled by Listowel's Pat Healy.
Listowel were playing in a North Kerry league final in Ballylongford back in the 80s and I had a stormer from wing-back.
Got about 3-3, and we won, beat Duagh. On the Monday we were down in Tim Kennelly's pub, well on it, and Horse [Tim Kennelly] beckoned me over and said 'You should be in with Kerry, someone should ring Dwyer about you'.
Of course, I was enthralled and before I gathered myself I was shoving 20 pence into the phone box out the back of the pub, ringing Waterville.
'Mr O'Dwyer, it's Pat Healy here from Listowel. We won a North Kerry final yesterday and Tim Kennelly suggested I give you a ring'. 'About what?', says Micko.
'About myself, and maybe I should be on the Kerry team at this stage?'
'And how did you get on?', queries Dwyer.
'Ah very good Micko. I got 3-3 storming forward from wingback, the lads here reckon I could do a job for Kerry'.
'And who were ye playing?'
'Duagh, Micko'.
'Well I'll tell you what', growls Dwyer, 'the next time Kerry are playing Duagh I'll give you a call', and the phone dies.
'I went back into the bar and of course the whole lot of them were falling around the counter, bursting their holes laughing'.
...those Kerry players are far away
Kerry, encouraged by Micko, were adept at capitalising on their fame for commercial gain. At the end of a long season, there existed the tantalising prospect of the team holiday, which they had to get crafty to fundraise for. They were at once inspired - and heartily scorned - by the man they called 'Dwyer'.
By 1981, with such regular success, it came to the stage that the only frontier left to conquer was Australia.
The team were as famous as they were going to be. People loved them. O'Dwyer's business brain told them their personalities and achievements made them an effortlessly marketable asset. The committee set a target of £60,000 and sketched out an itinerary - a world tour. The team would travel to New York, San Francisco, all over Australia and back to Hawaii for a month.
They started coming up with ideas. Aside from corporate and personal contributions, they would organise a competition to find a Kerry GAA personality of the year. An artist would be hired to paint a tribute to the team that had won four in a row.
'In fairness, the lady did it from passport photos', says Pat Spillane. 'But the trouble with passport photos is you don't know whether the person is 6 ft 9 or 2 ft 1! If you look at the painting, Ogie Moran is one of the biggest and John O'Keefe one of the smallest'.
Dwyer used to say that you'd have to hold it at a distance of a hundred yards.

International Man of Mystery
Some may deride Micko's training methods as old-fashioned, but in other aspects of life was a truly modern man.
Once they [Kerry] were in London for a Wembley Tournament and somehow O'Dwyer was being driven around by a London Irish millionaire with a Mercedes as big as a house. Graciously, O'Dwyer offered several players a lift and hopped into the front passenger seat himself. His eyes fell on a rather unwieldy apparatus between the seats.
'What is that?' he asked his host, picking up what was clearly an early car phone.
'It's a car phone', said the millionaire, pleased to have been asked. 'By Christ is that what it is', said O'Dwyer, looking at it with fascination. 'And how would that work now?'
'Well-' began the millionaire, but he was cut off.
'HELLO?' roared O'Dwyer. 'MARY CARMEL?'
The lads in the back smiled as a ten-minute phone conversation about the following night's dance in Waterville was played out. How would that work now! The Master!

REFLECTIONS OF A SHOPKEEPER - Who Will You Invite To Your Table?
Posted by Louise Humpington on
REFLECTIONS OF A SHOPKEEPER Absolutely love this photo. Living sustainably isn't just about how you nourish your body, it's also about how you nourish your mind. Engaging proactively. Campaigning for causes that you believe in. Surrounding yourself with people who respect and uplift you. Amplifying the voices of those who need uplifting. Self care and self love. Taking time out to reflect. These are all examples of nurturing and maintaining positive mental health. Sustainability literally means the ability to sustain yourself or the thing that you are trying to protect. And so it necessarily must include the most cherished parts...

Now that's a tree! I'm with you – I handle the lights and wrap the branches but am still going round and round. I'll have to try the vertical thing – after all, if it's good enough for Martha!
Too funny, Kelly!!! Martha is our queen!! Happy holiday decorating to you!!!!
Gorgeous tree!! We're going this weekend to cut ours down, the kids can't wait!
Thanks!!!!! I grew up with an artificial tree and didn't have fresh until I got married. Can you believe it?? It is definitley a memory the kids will cherish one day! They love it!
How fun, Christy! I am sure you will have a great time with the decorating! If Dear Hubby hadn't already put the lights on, I would have tried your way! Maybe next year…lol!
Shenita, you have one helpful hubby!!! Mine would do it, I am just unable to let him!! LOL!!! We got 1/2 of the tree done and last night he and our son finished while I went to yoga with our daughter. They did a great job!!!
It is going to look amazing! I would love a tree like that. I wonder if they sell them here in Texas. I also have thought about trying to hang lights vertical this year but was not sure it would be an easier since I use so many strands but if you say so then I think I will give it a go!:)
Thanks, Pamela! It is definitely easier for me. 🙂 I hope you finally found some new lights! I always dread the lights!!!

Thermostat/WaterPump/ECT replaced
Miles: 89653
While driving I noticed my temp gauge needle went above the normal stagnant 200 degrees Celsius. It actually went to 275 degrees where red is 280 degrees. The temp would fluctuate drastically changing 20 degrees within a second which isn't possible. So something is wrong and not functioning correctly. No CEL/MIL lights came on during this, I only noticed it due to the gauge needle being erratic and hearing the engine fan working hard occasionally.
I babied it home and pulled codes with my trusty VCDS and got the following relevant ones:
15470 – Insufficient Engine Cooling / Coolant Flow

The water pump and thermostat on these cars have been known fail especially on early models like mine, so this isn't too surprising especially since I am just shy of 90k miles. These two parts attache to each other and do require some labor to get at and replaced. Due to this its suggested to replace them both at the same time. I am also replacing the ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor just to cover everything at once though I don't think this is the problem.
This is a bigger job than I can do in my rental unit and want I to get it done today so dealer is my only option, as long as they have the parts in stock abd are not booked out a week. As expected they did have the parts in stock (semi-common failure pieces) and the cost wasn't cheap at $1770 for everything done. $1100 was in parts the rest was labor. If I didn't need it fixed today I would of taken it to a third party shop to get fixed and saved a bunch in labor and a little on parts. Here are the part numbers for the pieces involved, these parts may be superseded in the future, so check for latest versions before purchasing.
- Water pump: 06K-121-011-C
- Thermostat: 06L-121-111-M
- Union: 06L-121-131
- Coolant: G-013-A8J-1G
- Sender: 06A-919-501-A
- Seal Ring: N-903-168-02
- Gasket: 06K-129-717-A
The last three items are for the ECT sensor replacement. So if you don't want to replace that, you can skip those parts. With how much I was spending already it wasn't much more to add these ECT pieces on just so it was for sure fixed today.
Dealer got it done same day without issue. Did a quick visual inspection and saw new parts in place so everything checked out. I will update if this doesn't solve the issue but I am pretty sure this will do the trick.

The Exchange 051618
Welcome to The Exchange, I'm Mary Hartnett. This week, there were major decisions made on the state and local level. First, we hear about the lawsuit that's been filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa and Planned Parenthood of the Heartland yesterday.
The law would effectively ban most abortions after about six weeks into pregnancy. The plaintiffs say the law needs to be struck down as unconstitutional.
The lawsuit makes claims under the Iowa Constitution but NOT the U.S. Constitution. That means it's highly unlikely this lawsuit would ever appear in federal courts and present a challenge to the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. At a Des Moines press conference yesterday afternoon, the ACLU and Planned Parenthood talked about the lawsuit. Rita Bettis is the Legal Director of the ACLU of Iowa. Bettis outlined the case.
Bettis1 :54
In: "The Plaintiffs . . ."
Out: " . . . such a ban."
Susana DeBaca is the President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. She said since Governor Reynolds signed the abortion law all eyes have been on Iowa for the wrong reasons.
Debaca1 :50
In: "How did something . . ."
Out: " . . . or access care."
Francine Thompson is the co-director of the Emma Goldman Clinic in Iowa City. The non-profit clinic was the first in Iowa to provide abortion services. Thompson said the clinic sees each day the devastating effects the fetal heartbeat law would have on women.
Thompson1 :27
In: "it's a law . . ."
Out: " . . . with healthcare professionals."
Thompson added that the cutoff period for this bill, at about six weeks, simply does not work for women.
In: "The timing . . ."
Out: ". . . must be struck down."
Rita Bettis of the ACLU said the injunction filed against the law.
Bettis 2 :27
In: So, what we've asked . . ."
Out: ". . . litigating the case."
Bettis was asked why the plaintiffs waited two weeks after the bill was signed to file this injunction since the ACLU had filed injunctions against previous abortion laws in Iowa hours after they were signed.
Bettis 3
In: "The 72 hour . . ."
Out: " . . . ready to go."
A reporter at yesterday's press conference asked Bettis why this case was being filed in state court and how it might affect the process of the pending Supreme Court decision on the Iowa law that requires a 72 hour waiting period before an abortion.
Bettis 4 :50
In: "The Iowa Supreme Court . . ."
Out: " . . .
Bettis was also asked whether this lawsuit could be a test case for a challenge to Roe V. Wade, which legalized abortion back in 1973.
Bettis 5 :31
In: "I think it's important . . ."
Out: " . . . the federal courts."
Francine Thompson was asked about the mood at the Emma Goldman clinic in the aftermath of the fetal heartbeat bill.
Thompson4 1:00
In: "our staff . . ."
Out: " . . . or around six weeks."
When asked about the potential effect of the law if it goes into effect, Rita Bettis of the ACLU said this.
Bettis6 :28
In: "If this law . . ."
Out: ". . . on our patients."
Erin Davis Rippey is the director of Public Affairs at Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. She told reporters that Iowa has long been a state that respects the rights of women and all citizens, so this law is not typical for Iowa.
Rippey1 :45
In: "What we have seen . . ."
Out: " . . . the will of the people."
Susana DeBaca of Planned Parenthood of the Heartland told one reporter that she hopes this ruling doesn't change the perception of Iowa around the world.
In: "I think what . . ."

That was Susana DeBaca of Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. You just hear excerpts from yesterday's news conference in Des Moines, where Planned Parenthood, the ACLU of Iowa and the Emma Goldman Clinic of Iowa City announced they had filed a lawsuit in state court suing Governor Kim Reynolds for signing a new law that prohibits abortions in Iowa after a fetal heartbeat is detected. Governor Reynolds says she stands by her decision.
Last night the Woodbury County Board of Supervisors finalized an agreement to join the Rolling Hills Regional Mental Health group. Woodbury County applied for membership after voting last year to leave the three-county Sioux Rivers Mental Health and Disability Services group.
However, Woodbury County can't officially join and use services until July first of next year, and that leaves the county with a gap year for mental health and disability services. Supervisors approved a memorandum of understanding or MOU with the Rolling Hills Community Service Region for conditional acceptance.
But it's still not clear how mental health services will be delivered during the gap year. Supervisor Jeremy Taylor said he will soon start discussions with Plymouth and Sioux counties to re-enter the Sioux Rivers Mental Health and Disability Services Group for another year, but they would need a restructured MOU with certain provisions.

"Woodbury County is going to be in an interesting position, with signing this, Woodbury County will be a Rolling Hills governance board member, a member as of 2019 as long as provisions of this MOU is set."
The county is also waiting to hear back on an appeal to the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services on whether it can deliver mental health services on its own for a year. You can hear more on the Rolling Hills decision today at noon on The Exchange.
In an interview before yesterday's meeting, Taylor said Rolling Hills will serve the needs of Woodbury County much better than Sioux Rivers ever had the ability to do.

You're listening to The Exchange, on Siouxland Public Media, I'm Mary Hartnett. The issue of abortion has become a very divisive one, and it's just one of many that divided voters in the 2016 Presidential election. Since then, it has been difficult for some on the right and the left to have calm, respectful conversations with each other. That's the problem that author Howard Ross takes on in the book, "Our Search for Belonging: How Our Need to Connect is tearing us apart." Ross, the bestselling author of "Everyday Bias," spent months talking with Trump and Clinton supporters about their choices and their opinions about the opposition. Ross says, despite his efforts to be impartial, he found himself being drawn into the ideological scuffle.

You're listening to The Exchange on Siouxland Public Media. Quilts have always been an integral part of American history. From the quilts, our great-grandmothers made to the highly stylized machine-made quilts of today, these works of art and utility have told the story of lives. At the International Quilt Study Center and Museum at the University of Nebraska Lincoln, visitors can see quilts that date back 200 years. Some of those quilts are also included in the new book "American Quilts in the Industrial Age, 1760-1870." The book was put together by the center's Carolyn Ducey and Patricia Cox Crews. The voluminous book is filled with full-color photos of the quilts that were pieced during the industrial revolution. Professor Cox –Crews says until the advent of cotton and wool mills, most people had very few clothes.

New laws extend no-fly zone for drones
Responding to the Government's new laws on drones, Chief Executive of the Airport Operators Association, Karen Dee said:
"Drones are a great new technology that are expected to bring many benefits to aviation and the UK as a whole. To achieve these benefits, we must ensure drones are operated safely and pose no risk or disruption to air traffic and airports.
"The AOA has called for an extension to the no-fly zone around airports and the new laws announced by Government show they have listened. Combined with additional powers for the police, these new rules an important step in the right direction. As partners in the Drone Code, the AOA will support efforts to educate the public on these new rules.
"An important way to ensure people do not inadvertently break the law is through introducing mandatory geo-fencing technology as soon as possible. This would safeguard critical airspace around airports from accidental drone incursions. We believe this is the most effective way to ensure that unsafe drone use does not have major consequences."

More Yorkshire locations due to appear in the new Downton Abbey film have been revealed
The cast and crew of the movie, directed by Downton creator Julian Fellowes, have already been seen shooting scenes at two of Yorkshire's grandest stately homes, Wentworth Woodhouse and Harewood House, both of which appear in the official trailer.
And now a source have revealed a much longer list of Yorkshire locations that have hosted filming this year.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdOscar-winning screenwriter Fellowes even admitted that he has based the storyline for the new film - a spin-off from the popular ITV period drama, which ended in 2015 - on a royal visit by King George V, Queen Mary and their entourage to Wentworth Woodhouse, near Rotherham, in 1912. In the film, the royal couple stay at the fictional Downton Abbey in 1927 as guests of the Crawley family.
The Marble Saloon at Wentworth, where the ball scene that features in the movie trailer was shot, was where ballerina Anna Pavlova danced for the King and Queen in 1912.
The locations include Ampleforth College, the prestigious Catholic boarding school in the North York Moors which Fellowes attended.
The film hits cinemas on September 13.
Thirsk and Ripon
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdBoth towns have been used for filming street scenes, although it's not known which buildings will feature. Thirsk and Ripon both have a wealth of period buildings available to film producers - Ripon Cathedral and the city's Spa Baths have both appeared on screen before.
Castle Howard
Famous as the main location for two adaptations of the novel Brideshead Revisited, Castle Howard is one of several stately homes to feature in the movie. It is likely that the house stands in for the stately home of friends of the Crawleys.
Pickering Station
Film crews can't get enough of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, perhaps the country's best preserved heritage line. Pickering Station is where filming for Downton took place.
Several of the NYMR's restored carriages have also appeared in episodes of Downton Abbey when it was an ITV drama series.
Hovingham Hall
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdThis 18th-century house in Ryedale is slightly off the beaten track for filming, and it's still privately owned by the Worsley family. It's home to a cricket pitch thought to be the oldest in England - the fourth of the Worsley baronets was captain of Yorkshire - and is open to the public for a limited period each year.
Hovingham has connections with royalty - it was the childhood home of Katharine Worsley, whose nephew is the current baronet. She is married to the Duke of Kent, who is a cousin of the Queen and a grandson of King George V.
Ampleforth College
The inclusion of Downton creator Julian Fellowes's old school may be purely sentimental - but there's no doubt that the country's leading Roman Catholic boarding school had some stunning listed buildings on its campus. It's on the same site as Ampleforth Abbey, and many of the monks teach at the school. Both institutions were founded in 1802.
Ampleforth has been labelled 'the Catholic Eton'.
Little Germany
This Conservation Area of Bradford was founded by German Jewish merchants who built beautiful neoclassical warehouses in the 19th century.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdIt's been a magnet for film and TV productions in recent years - ITV's Victoria, Peaky Blinders, Gentleman Jack and Agatha Christie adaptation The ABC Murders have all been shot here.
Harewood House
The Downton cast were pictured on the Harewood estate, between Leeds and Harrogate, last autumn shooting a party scene.
All was revealed in the trailer released earlier this summer, which showed a couple dancing on Harewood's terrace.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdHarewood had close links to the Royal Family in the 1920s, when the film is set.
Princess Mary, King George's daughter, was married to Henry Lascelles, heir to the Harewood earldom - he would inherit the title in 1929. They had two sons.
The marriage meant the King and Queen were regular visitors to both Harewood and the couple's first marital home, Goldsborough Hall, near Knaresborough.
Wentworth Woodhouse
Julian Fellowes told Vanity Fair that the plot for the movie was inspired by the royal visit to Wentworth Woodhouse in 1912, and the production hired the Marble Saloon at the stately home near Rotherham, to shoot a ball scene. Hundreds of extras and a band were hired and the shots appear in the trailer.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdThe cast and crew stayed at Tankersley Manor Hotel during filming.
Back in 1912, the Marble Saloon, with its sprung dancefloor and galleried landings, was the focal point of the programme of entertainment laid on for King George V and Queen Mary when they were guests of the Fitzwilliam family. The most famous ballerina of the age, Anna Pavlova, was invited to perform.
King George V had apparently been considering spending the summer of 1912 visiting his cousins in the various royal houses of Europe - but was persuaded to undertake a tour of the Yorkshire coalfields instead, in an effort to connect with the industrial working class.
Realistically, there weren't many stately homes that were large and grand enough to host the King and Queen that were also within reasonable travelling distance of collieries, foundries and factories - Wentworth was the obvious candidate. Nearly 80 of the bedrooms were required to accommodate the party.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdAmong the local aristocracy and gentry invited to join the Fitzwilliams for the visit were the Earl and Countess of Harewood, whose son and heir would later marry the King's only daughter, Princess Mary.

What is Packet Switching?
Packet switching is a channel addressed with packets for data transmission. Packet switching is a method of routing and grouping the data as packets to transfer in a channel, where the packet channel can be made available for the next transfer in network traffic. It basically occupies the channel in traffic, so that the packets containing can be transferred to the routed address in the network. To deliver the data correctly, Packets are structured with header and payload in them. Header is used for directing the data packets to destination and Payload is used for data extraction, and it's the core data. It is referred to as message switching. In the data transmission, any messages exceeding the maximum limit will be broken into smaller units, and that smaller unit are considered as packets.
The unique difference in Packet switching is: Transmission of data to packet are formed with predefined header and the link used for data communication will not be used by any other packets.
Packets & its structure
A packet is constructed as a unit of data routed from the origin in the packet-switched network to its destination. For Ex: A user sends an email to the company's customer support. An email can contain an attached image or PDF etc. The email is sent through the network as a packet-based transfer. The protocol in the network layer i.e. TCP/IP breaks the data into smaller chunks as packets and routed towards the destination. Each packet will be numbered and routed to different routes; when it has arrived at the destination, the packets are assembled to the original format. This reassembling is done by TCP at the destination.
Packets are structured as Header, Payload, and Footer. According to the protocols used, the structure may vary:
- Addresses – origin & destination
- Error Handling

Why do we Use Packet Switching?
This question answers our whole networking across the world. Because the internet world is all connected as connectionless links and most networking works in a similar manner. It follows such a tradition that the communication type between the senders and receiver is connectionless. When the data are transmitted, the communication is broken down into packets, and it shares the same data path with various users in the same network is called connectionless.
There is a contrast with packet switching called circuit switching. Circuit switching is dedicated during connection and keeps unavailable for other users until the linkage ends. This benefits the users to opt for packet switching. It is used in many applications because of its stable and efficient networking. It is also used in many organizations as they are used for various technologies. Here we can see, why packet switching is used widely.
- Packet has the intelligence to find its destination path using routers when a linkage is broken or the packets are lost. So this is resilient that packets can transfer efficiently in traffic.
- Packet switching is network efficient as each packet identifies its own path to reach the destination and it does not require any dedicated connection for transmission.
- It is cost-effective and scalable as the packets efficiently use the data transmission path and links are managed efficiently.
- It is so reliable in networking where the packets are not lost in transmission. Because the packets are numbered. It can reassemble at the receiver end, though it travels in different communications paths.
- It uses two protocols according to the usage of network service. Connectionless and Connection-oriented protocol.
- The connectionless protocol is used when the transmission doesn't require any prior setup for packet transfer.
- The connection-oriented protocol is used for complex data transactions. Prior setup is made and routed from source to destination. The delay time is the same as the data transfer time in connectionless switching.
- Applications use packet switching with improvised protocols of voice and video calls are, WhatsApp, skype, etc.
Importance's of Packet Switching
- Packet switching is important as the communication links are decided based on the size of the packets. When the packets are shorter, the communication links between nodes are allocated for a shorter period for transferring each packet. And the longer messages require several packets, i.e. series of packets are used for transmitting. The link for transmitting the packets doesn't need to be dedicated. The linkage between the nodes connected can carry each packet and assembled it where the resources are shared.
- The method of packet switching is considered pipelining. Pipelining is the transfer of packets from one node to other is carried in a simultaneous way such as when a packet is transferred from A to B and C to D, packets can be transferred from B to C and C to A and B to D also. This way of transmission saves the propagation time and the delay is less. The transmission of packets with a low delay time has greater efficiency than message switching.
- Reduced usage of communication paths brings greater efficiency in packet switching as there will be less bandwidth wastage. And this carries the main advantage in switching.
- Packet switching is fault-tolerant because the packets transmitting from origin to destination may carry different routes and it can malfunction in the network.
- For data communication in the digital network, it allows direct transmission of digital data from sender to receiver.
- Error checking is done in packet switching where it keeps the quality of data high in distributed format also. So the data distributed are error-free in packet switching.
- Before the transmission of data as packets, the size of the packet is fixed and determined to use the required link. This reduces the delay in-network by avoiding the waiting queue.
There are types in packet switching as virtual circuit and datagram packet switching and each has its own way of approach for packet transmission. Though packet switching takes more amount of space, processing power for switching protocols. Packet switching is considerably used in many organizations and technically good for transmission.

This Sunday, Japan will hold a general election that could signal many political shifts for the nation. Yet despite the upcoming vote, which will close out a year that saw public opinion about the current government reach very low levels as more conservative politicians try to make strides, political music has been rare in 2012. It's especially surprising given the concerns (still) surrounding nuclear power in Japan, an issue that prompted all sorts of "No Nukes!" rallies and festivals, but not much protest music. Goth-Trad's unsettling New Epoch, one of the year's best, was seemingly the only release to dwell on the unease hanging in Japan post Fukushima. Yet another dance producer – one working out of a place forever linked to the dark sides of nuclear energy – also put together some of the strongest anti-nuclear songs of the year.
Hiroshima's CRZKNY makes juke and footwork music, but often uses the style to focus on the issue of nuclear power in Japan. "I HATE JAPANESE NUCLEAR MAFIA," CRZKNY's Bandcamp page shouts, and his various free EPs are just as blunt. His Struggle Without End collection is especially bullish – it's a sample-heavy affair similar to what Cassetteboy has done, pushing soundbites of Japanese politicians and Fukushima-related news reports up against irreverent samples from South Park ("FUCK JAP GENPATSU"). The majority of the EP goes this way, the music underneath adding a disorienting vibe to everything – see the funky-but-creepy swagger of "Radiation" which also finds the vocal samples being morphed into strange, unnatural shapes. CRZKNY's follow-up, August's ABC EP (Atomic Bomb Code), features less samples and instead relies on the music to be unnerving. Opener "1102" is one of the most haunting tracks I've heard all year, made up of nothing but some fuzzy electronic sounds and wind chimes, but the overall affect reminiscent of a desolated place. "The World Five Minutes From Now" and "Statement" are fast-moving tracks, hectic and unhinged, lacking the sense of playfulness juke usually comes equipped with. ABC EP is a more panicked take on the same world Goth-Trad explores on his album, the hanging paranoia of New Epoch swapped out for something more urgent. Whereas Goth-Trad had a song called "Departure," CRZKNY has one called "Escape." Get them here.
The songs on the ABC EP also appear on the Atomic Bomb Compilation, a juke collection that came out in August and is shaped by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The majority of tracks focus on creating an uneasy atmosphere, the super-tight splicing of juke used as a tool of terror rather than giddiness here. Other songs are more ambient in nature, but capture the weird paranoia nuclear energy – and the improper release of it – can create. As Japan continued moving towards a murky future, I often wondered why more musicians weren't saying something about the state of the nation – turns out a bunch were, all in one place. Get it here.

okay, im sum what into drugs and whenever im sad or down I decide to get high and I want to stop and I try to stop but I cant Any help?!
Hey (: basically I can relate to this problem and its quite normal to reside to drugs, you have to ask yourself why you are doing it, for me its the fact I dont like the feeling of bieng "ok" I like to feel high or drunk or absorbed with chemicals , baiscally you should firstly cut down on the amount of weed etc you are taking and see if that helps and then when you feel like you can cope just having a little then stop alotogether hope I helped (:
I have the same problem. You are self medicating because you don't like the way your feeling. If you have been doing it for a long time, type of drug, amount you use, be careful with withdrawl and turn to a specialist, otherwise go to an AA or NA meeting. That is what I'm doing now because I simply got tired. You have to go through enough pain to really want to stop.
I love you and I believe in you babe xxx get help xx search the internet ask your fam to help you they will really appreaciate it they will be glad that you have asked them xxx love you loads remeber that xxx
youre not the only one, a lot of people do it just know all your problems are still gonna be there even after you get high so just try not to depend on it to fix them, cause only you can
Well seeing a specialist is the best thing to do. But if you want to quit cold turkey then good luck. It will take really hard dedication.
Go see a professional, like a counselor, they'll be able to help you best with it.

In Bad Ass 2: Bad Asses, decorated Vietnam hero Frank Vega (Trejo) now runs an East L.A. community center where he trains young boxers to survive in and out of the ring. But when his prize student falls in with the wrong crowd and turns up dead, Frank teams up with his pal Bernie (Glover) to take matters into their own fists and prove that justice never gets old. (Gary Reber)
Special features include a making-of featurette (HD 10:00), upfront previews, and an UltraViolet digital copy.
The 1.78:1 1080p AVC picture was digitally photographed. The imagery is quite pleasing, with detailed resolution exhibited throughout. Fine detail is resolved in Trejo's and Glover's faces, with other detail resolved in hair, clothes, and object texture. Contrast is nicely balanced with deep blacks and shadows that are revealing. The color palette is strongly hued and saturated, and often pops. This is a far better presentation than the first release. (Gary Reber)
The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack is conventional and mediocre, with an overall frontal focus, with subtle surround envelopment. There are few "bad ass" aural embellishments. The fight scenes sonically pump up the excitement with enhanced .1 LFE bass energy for impact. The music score is nicely recorded, with a wide and deep soundstage that subtly is immersive in the surrounds. Dialogue is natural sounding and generally well integrated spatially. This is a fun soundtrack that, while not aggressively enveloping, is pleasingly engaging, with good fidelity. (Gary Reber)

Updated at 6:40 p.m. with more background on Shingle Mountain's origins.
A six-story pile of roof shingles that has grown over three years near southern Dallas homes will finally begin disappearing this week as contractors prepare to move Shingle Mountain.
Air quality testers set up monitors at the site on Monday, the first step before contractors show up to remove the pile this week.
City officials accepted a $450,000 bid in October from Q. Roberts Trucking to haul over 100,000 tons of shingles and debris, but they couldn't authorize immediate removal because of a 30-day notice the state had to approve.
Now that the notice has been fulfilled and a judge has signed an order to start the removal process, contractors expect to start moving the debris to McCommas Bluff Landfill on Youngblood Road — less than a mile away from its current spot on South Central Expressway — by the end of the week.
Quincy Roberts, CEO of Roberts Trucking, said that after the environmental testing is done, his team will prep the site with construction entrances and start hauling.
"It'll be anywhere from 200 to 400 loads a day," Roberts said. "We'll just keep chipping away at it until there's no more left, unless for some reason the city stops us."
He added that the city gave the company six months to complete the work, but he expects it to be done sooner.
Council member Tennell Atkins, who represents the area where the roof shingles were dumped, said that he expects the process to take about 90 days.
In March, trucks showed up at Shingle Mountain to cart off a small load to Rice, a city about 45 minutes south of Dallas, but the city's administrator said those trucks were delivering shingles to a customer.
Since then, activists have pressured the city to take more action. They have staged protests outside of officials' homes, brought hundreds of pounds of shingles to City Hall and installed a large countdown calendar at the site of the mountain.
Marsha Jackson, who lives on Choate Road in front of the pile, sees a pulmonologist from the toxins in the debris.
Jackson, 62, has sued Blue Star Recycling, the company that dumped the shingles, and the city, which previously demanded that other responsible parties contribute to the cleanup costs.
Jackson and her neighbors are at risk of breathing, heart, skin and brain health problems, according to her doctor and environmental health researchers.
Environmental activists have condemned officials for their lack of urgency.
But Atkins said they were limited by the lawsuit.
"As soon as I found out about it, I reported it and we got right on it," Atkins said. "As a council member, that's the only thing that I can do. … I've been there from day one."
The mountain dates back to 2017, when Cabe Chadick, an actuary from CCR Equity Holdings One — the company that owns the land — leased it to Chris Ganter, of Blue Star Recycling, to grind shingles.
Ganter has previously claimed that his intention was to save the landfill from tons of material that would take a long time to decompose. He told the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality that there would only be up to 260 tons of debris at a time onsite.
But trucks were dumping more material than they were offloading, and they never stopped.
Dallas has had money earmarked to clean up Shingle Mountain, according to Roxana Rubio, a city spokeswoman. But officials, including Mayor Eric Johnson, said they wanted CCR to contribute to the estimated $2.1 million costs before the city initiated a removal.
"We are committed to using city funds to assist in the cleanup of the environmental disaster known as Shingle Mountain," Johnson told The Dallas Morning News in a statement last summer. "But we are seeking the cooperation and financial commitment of the property owner responsible."
The city of Dallas has filed lawsuits against both Blue Star Recycling and CCR.
In a motion the city filed in June 2019, the city said Blue Star claimed it "has no money and no equipment with which to facilitate the removal of the materials." The company filed for bankruptcy in October.

Recently my PC started to show me BSODs occasionally. It seems unrelated to whatever programs i run or if it is under heavy load or not. The BSOD is "IRQ No less or equal" and unfortunately, there are no other information about te exact cause. RAM is fine (i even replaced the old RAM when the first BSOD occured). Hard drive should be also perfectly fine: It is a Samsung EVO 850 (actually two, one for the OS, the other one for games) with 98% left of its lifespan. The only new part in my PC since i noticed the BSOD is my new 1070 graphics card and as the title suggests, i also updated the BIOS of my Maximus VIII Ranger to Version 2002. I highly suspect an issue with that BIOS because i hightly doubt a brand new graphics card would cause these errors. Unfortunately i did not run the latest BIOS with my old card to completely exclude a faulty graphicscard. Also i am running the latest drivers from intel and realtek (downloaded not from the asus website but from the corresponding manufacturers themself) but it should not matter, because i can get a BSOD directly after a clean installation of windows 10 without having anything installed. The strange thing is, that this BSOD really is only occasional. I can run my PC for hours and days without issues until at some point it crashes.
So the question is: Can a "broken" BIOS lead to such a behaviour or should i look somewhere else?*
Tumas wrote:
I already downgraded back to the previous BIOS version but since the issue is not that persistent all the time, i will have to wait and see if it helps or not. OCing is not the problem, because i also reverted back to stock BIOS when reinstalling windows (and never actually OCed that much in the past either; 4.2 for the i5 6600k max). Additionally, i am still within the 30days return timeframe, so i also might send the graphics card back just to be sure (also if i wait longer, return/replacement will not be that easy). But i guess the BSOD would then be more common when putting the graphics card under heavy load. Which is not the case. *BlueScreen viewer showed that the kernel gave the critical error which can be anything if i understand that right (there was also no additional information on the bluescreen). About the PSU: Leadex Superflower 650W 80+ Gold certified, 1 year old (+Maximus VIII Ranger, i5 6600k, Corsai Vengeance 3200 Mhz 16GB, MSI GTX 1070 X). I am currently about to reinstall windows again with the mainboard drivers from asus and not from external websites. If after all these things the error persits, i will report back with the dump file.

Designing a Science Fair Evaluation Strategy and Intel ISEF 2014
Hi all, this is my first post for the Scientix blog. As already mentioned, this blog provides a personal view on science education, events, and other science related topics from Scientix colleagues, teachers, etc.
I am writing from Los Angeles, California, where I am attending the Intel ISEF educators' academy. Intel and European Schoolnet have worked to lay the foundation for a common methodology of evaluating and systematic comparison of science fairs in Europe, namely those supported by Intel and affiliated to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF).
The aim of the common evaluation methodology is to enable comparison of different science fairs organized in different countries and settings; and consequently to identify beneficial as well as potentially adverse aspects of science fairs.
I will be presenting "Designing a Science Fair Evaluation Strategy: The European Model" on Wednesday and the presentation will include:
- The research methodology and the evaluation design: how were the questionnaires developed and further integrated into 4 pilot fairs in Europe in 2013;
- The main results of the pilot evaluation: overall key messages include that 70% of the students that participate in Science Fairs are afterwards more likely to consider studying a STEM degree; 65% of the students after participating in a Science Fair are more likely to consider a STEM career and more than 80% of the teachers considered to have learnt a lot through participating in the Science Fair thus finding Science Fairs as an effective way of obtaining professional development);
- And an update on the status of the project at the time of the 2014 Intel ISEF Educator Academy: the evaluation should expand to 10 Intel ISEF affiliated science fairs in Europe. The analysis of the results could then be used to better define the role of science fairs in STEM education policy and practice.
You may want to read the first report: "The European Science Fairs Evaluation Framework – pilot study. An Intel & European Schoolnet initiative."
During this week, I will be also meeting colleagues from the Scientix National Contact Points of Bulgaria and Estonia. Jenny Sendova (Bulgaria) and Terje Tuisk (Estonia) who are here both for the Educator's academy and accompanying their students who have been selected to attend the Intel ISEF 2014 I recommend you have a look at http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/education/competitions/international-science-and-engineering-fair.html and https://student.societyforscience.org/about for more information. Best of luck to their students!

These are some of the final images for my fine art photography project. These portraits are of students of BYU who identify themselves as homosexual and a person that supports them. With all of the dissenting views regarding this topic in the past few months I have felt very strongly about this project. The portraits will be shown in pairs. The idea is that there are gay and lesbian individuals not only in the Mormon culture, but also at BYU. I also chose to photograph someone who is a support to this person. This could be a family member or friend. This support person may also identify themselves as homosexual and both people may provide support to each other. I am not telling the viewer who identifies themselves as homosexual, because I hope the viewer will realize that placing a label with the portrait only creates divisions in our society and furthers stereotypes. It is my hope this body of work can be a vehicle for tolerance, support, love and change.
I photographed all the portraits using similar lighting and cropping. I also used a tilt shift lens to achieve selective focus, so that the subjects eyes are the only part of the image in focus. This was purposefully done to force the viewer to look in the eyes of these individuals. I hope that through this project we can realize that all men (and women) are created equal in the eyes of God.
