To add to Peter Wilby's excellent article (The councils turning to risky business, 7 March), the idea of public service is being swept away as local authorities seek to fill the huge gap in income created by the Tory government's move to abolish central funding by 2020. Many authorities are trading away from their home turf; but the setting up of partnerships with private companies is being taken to a zenith of profit-taking from public assets by the example of the London borough of Haringey. The Labour-run council's cabinet has voted to transfer £2bn worth of commercial properties, council estates due for demolition and "regeneration", and potentially many more assets belonging to the local authority to the so-called Haringey Development Vehicle. Notionally this is a 50-50 partnership, but the council's preferred bidder, Lendlease, has all the chips in its favour, as it will provide the expert input and determine income streams and the profit and loss account.
The ramifications of wholesale transfer of local authority assets, at current prices, in an unpredictable housing market and financial climate, to profit-seeking multinationals such as Lendlease, with its admitted history of blacklisting and corruption in New York City, and its poor record of providing social housing in Southwark (Report, theguardian.com, 25 June 2015), are national as well as local. This direction of travel must be resisted – as it is in Haringey.
Alternatives exist, including new council-house building, at preferential borrowing rates, using current grants and loans to the public sphere more imaginatively; and decent refurbishment of places where people live and want to continue to do so.

• Haringey council's plans to enter into a regeneration partnership to bring millions of pounds of investment and thousands of new homes to the borough have attracted a lot of attention. We welcome debate about our approach, but we're concerned that some of the statements being made by those opposed to our plans continue to overlook the facts in favour of stoking unfounded fears among the very residents we're seeking to support. Our borough needs thousands of new homes. Shackled by the impact of the government's ongoing austerity measures and its stringent constraints on borrowing, we have to find a different way to tackle the housing crisis, address inequality and deliver the homes, jobs and opportunities local people have told us they want.
Far from offering a developer carte blanche in our borough, a 50-50 partnership brings the investment we need, while allowing us to share profits and maintain control. And it means that we can put the needs of existing council housing tenants first. And yet, again and again we are being forced to defend alarmist claims of people being made homeless that are nothing short of scaremongering. So let's be clear: we are committed to rehousing existing tenants on the same rent and the same terms. For so-called campaigners to claim otherwise is simply cruel.
In fact, in Northumberland Park we've been working with tenants and leaseholders since 2014, while on the nearby Love Lane Estate residents have been overwhelmingly supportive of regeneration.
Campaigners claiming to speak for Haringey's tenants are too often failing to actually listen to them. Without the investment that Lendlease will bring, our ambitions would fall at the first hurdle. We hope that those who seek to alarm local people will look at the full picture and think again.

The search for the perfect leather iPhone case has been thorough. As with all purchases, it was extensively researched and obsessively considered. I never intend to spend excessive amounts of time on seemingly easy purchases but I never fail to surprise myself with the amount of time I can spend on one thing. I thought I would start sharing my finds with you so my research can benefit more than just me.
Bellroy Phone Case - 1 Card
Bellroy is a company based in Australia. It combines the names Bells and Fitzroy [2 cities in Australia]. They make really well designed, durable products for everyday life and their mission is: "Crafting better ways to carry". Their environmental goals are well articulated right on their website. BONUS- their packaging is minimal and efficient. I think it's a purchase you can feel good about.
I have my coin card on the outside and my ID tucked inside the case.
The case is made from Vegetable tanned leather, is available in 5 colors, and is backed by a 3 year warranty. I purchased mine from Amazon but it is available directly from Bellroy as well.
This 3 card version is great too.

Donald Trump is shot down in defamation suit
Being the litigious creep that he is, Trump sued O'Brien for defamation, but that lawsuit was tossed out by Camden County superior court judge Michele Fox yesterday. In a statement, the author said, "I am deeply gratified that the court's decision has vindicated the reporting in TrumpNation." In a separate statement, publisher Hachette said that "We are gratified that the court has granted summary judgment dismissing Mr. Trump's meritless libel lawsuit."
As for Mr. Turmp, he's as defiant as ever, and says he'll appeal the decision. "It tells you how unfair the libel laws are," he told [subscription] The Wall Street Journal. "We proved our case."
That raises an interesting question: If the problem is that the libel laws are unfair, why are you appealing? Will a higher court change the laws?
This case has been fun to watch for a number of reasons -- partly because it's coincided with a number of lawsuits against Mr. Trump and the bankruptcy of Trump Entertainment Resorts. The best part though, by far, came when Trump explained during a deposition that his net worth fluctuates based on his feelings and that he included the value of his "brand" in calculating his net worth.
Bad new for Mr. Trump: that brand appears to be in decline. Trump's latest insipid volume -- Think Like a Champion: An Informal Education In Business and Life -- landed with a plink and currently sports an Amazon sales ranking of 24,406, which doesn't exactly suggest tremendous brand value.

Feynman feels the pressure
Richard Feynman famously said "Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts". What he meant thereby, was presumably that unlike other subjects where people tend to blindly accept the ignorant opinions of experts, in science people are more sceptical of experts' opinions. Whether Feynman's claim has much validity, I know not, nonetheless I thought it might be interesting to point out an example of where Feynman himself had shown ignorance of the physical world in 'The Feynman Lectures on Physics'.
The errata page of the website contains the following:
In his preface to The Definitive Edition of The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Professor Kip Thorne writes:
"The errata corrected in this edition come from three sources: about 80 per cent are from Michael Gottlieb; most of the rest are from a long list by an anonymous reader, submitted to Feynman in the early 1970s via the publisher; and the remainder are from scattered short lists provided to Feynman or us by various readers.
The corrected errata are mainly of three types: (i) typographical errors in the prose; (ii) roughly 150 typographical and mathematical errors in equations, tables, and figures—sign errors, incorrect numbers (e.g., a 5 that should be a 4), and missing subscripts, summation signs, parentheses and terms in equations; (iii) roughly 50 incorrect cross references to chapters, tables, and figures. These kinds of errors, though not terribly serious to a mature physicist, can be frustrating and confusing to students, the audience Feynman was trying to reach.
It is remarkable that the errata included only two inadvertent errors in physics: Volume I, page 45-4 now says "When a rubber band is stretched its temperature rises," not "falls" as claimed in previous editions; and Volume II, page 5-9 now says "…no static distribution of charges inside a closed grounded conductor can produce any [electric] fields outside" (the word grounded was omitted in previous editions). This second error was pointed out to Feynman by a number of readers, including Beulah Elizabeth Cox, a student at The College of William and Mary, who had relied on Feynman's erroneous passage in an exam. To Ms. Cox, Feynman wrote in 1975,[1] "Your instructor was right not to give you any points, for your answer was wrong, as he demonstrated using Gauss's law. You should, in science, believe logic and arguments, carefully drawn, and not authorities. You also read the book correctly and understood it. I made a mistake, so the book is wrong. I probably was thinking of a grounded conducting sphere, or else of the fact that moving the charges around in different places inside does not affect things on the outside. I am not sure how I did it, but I goofed. And you goofed, too, for believing me."
Since the lectures had clearly been subjected to extensive scrutiny, with so few errors of physics apparently found, you might think that finding fault would be difficult, nonetheless I found a major error in the very first lecture.
The first lecture is beautifully written, and should make perfect sense even to somebody with little knowledge of physics, so you might like to read the lecture before checking out my criticism.
This is what Feynman wrote:
"Now imagine this great drop of water with all of these jiggling particles stuck together and tagging along with each other. The water keeps its volume; it does not fall apart, because of the attraction of the molecules for each other. If the drop is on a slope, where it can move from one place to another, the water will flow, but it does not just disappear—things do not just fly apart—because of the molecular attraction. Now the jiggling motion is what we represent as heat: when we increase the temperature, we increase the motion. If we heat the water, the jiggling increases and the volume between the atoms increases, and if the heating continues there comes a time when the pull between the molecules is not enough to hold them together and they do fly apart and become separated from one another. Of course, this is how we manufacture steam out of water—by increasing the temperature; the particles fly apart because of the increased motion."
Feynman seems to be making it very clear that the existence of a drop of water, is a kind of battle between the jiggling of molecules trying to force them apart, and the molecular attraction of the molecules trying to hold them together. That sounded plausible. Then I recalled that you cannot boil an egg, or make a proper cup of tea, on Mount Everest, because water boils at 72 degrees Celsius. So clearly pressure must have something important to say about the existence of liquid water.
Then I recalled the classic experiment whereby water can be made to boil at room temperature, by putting it in vessel and pumping out most of the air. So I began to wonder whether water can ever actually exist without any pressure at all. So I looked at a phase diagram, of the type that I think we were shown at school as part of a basic physics course:
And lo and behold, it shows that liquid water can never exist when the pressure is less that 0.6 % of normal atmospheric pressure (see the triple point of water). Since liquid water requires pressure for its very existence, Feynman's characterisation of it merely as a battle between molecular forces and the jiggling of heat, is severely lacking.
Of course the phase diagram does not tell the whole story; because if you go to the middle of the liquid area, you will still have water-vapour molecules flying around above the liquid. Also the phase diagram indicates that you cannot even have solid ice without pressure, even though clearly solid ice lasts a lot longer in the absence of pressure than liquid water; for instance comets partly composed of ice last for ages.
What the phase diagram does tell us, is that if we were to put a lump of ice in a test tube, pump the air out, seal the tube, and then let the ice melt and reach room temperature; then the pressure in the tube due to the water vapour would be about 2% of an atmosphere. If we increased the temperature to 100 degrees, then the vapour pressure would be about 1 atmosphere. As we continued to heat the water, the pressure in the tube would continue to increase, and there would continue to be waterline until we reached the critical temperature 374 degrees, at which point the waterline would disappear and we would just be left with highly compressed water-vapour, or perhaps highly diffuse liquid water.
That is what happens in terms of classical physics; but what makes Feynman's lecture so entertaining, is that he describes things (including pressure) in terms of what the individual atoms are actually doing. So perhaps later in the lecture he includes the necessity of pressure for the existence of water. Let us see:
"The atomic hypothesis also describes processes, and so we shall now look at a number of processes from an atomic standpoint. The first process that we shall look at is associated with the surface of the water. What happens at the surface of the water? We shall now make the picture more complicated—and more realistic—by imagining that the surface is in air. Figure 1–5 shows the surface of water in air. We see the water molecules as before, forming a body of liquid water, but now we also see the surface of the water. Above the surface we find a number of things: First of all there are water molecules, as in steam. This is water vapor, which is always found above liquid water. (There is an equilibrium between the steam vapor and the water which will be described later.) In addition we find some other molecules—here two oxygen atoms stuck together by themselves, forming an oxygen molecule, there two nitrogen atoms also stuck together to make a nitrogen molecule. Air consists almost entirely of nitrogen, oxygen, some water vapor, and lesser amounts of carbon dioxide, argon, and other things. So above the water surface is the air, a gas, containing some water vapor. Now what is happening in this picture? The molecules in the water are always jiggling around. From time to time, one on the surface happens to be hit a little harder than usual, and gets knocked away. It is hard to see that happening in the picture because it is a still picture. But we can imagine that one molecule near the surface has just been hit and is flying out, or perhaps another one has been hit and is flying out. Thus, molecule by molecule, the water disappears—it evaporates."
As you can see; even when describing water at a molecular level, Feynman ignores the effect of pressure. The fact is, that every molecule on the surface of the water is being hit around half a billion times a second by air molecules which would be travelling at an average speed of 500 m/s at room temperature. The air molecules are moving in all different directions; but as they are coming from above the surface of the water, they will all have a component trying to knock any water molecules that try to escape back into the liquid.
Each water molecule on the surface of the liquid, gets pounded by air molecules that have nearly twice their mass; so they in turn bump into the water molecules underneath, and as such the pounding of the air molecules keeps the body of water together, presumably with the assistance of the molecular attraction between the water molecules.
In a sense the pounding of the water molecules by the air molecules actually makes them jiggle. One could perhaps say that if both the water and the air are at the same temperature, then on average the collisions between the air molecules and the water molecules would transfer no energy; but if the air is hotter than the water then on average the collisions would add energy to the water and heat it or put another way make the water molecules jiggle faster, whilst if the air was colder the collisions would on average transfer energy to it and heat it.
Of course it was not possible for Feynman to cover everything in the lecture, and it is understandable that he would make errors when covering physics in an original manner. However his characterisation of the existence of water as merely a battle between jiggling and molecule attraction, is far from the truth; and his later description of what happens at the surface of the water on a molecular level, does not begin to cover what really happens.
The idea that the surface of water requires a continual bombardment of air molecules to keep it in place, is fairly basic physics. Nonetheless it is not something I had ever thought about before. Normally one thinks of whether a substance is found as a gas, liquid or solid, in terms of temperature and the characteristics of the substance, as Feynman did. From now on when I look at the surface of a lake, I will think about the air molecules battering it into existence. If all the air were to disappear from the atmosphere, all the water on earth would not simply boil away; rather some would boil away to produce a new atmosphere of water-vapour, such that the bombardment of water-vapour molecules would be sufficient to keep the surface of the water in place.
My estimate that each molecule on the surface of the water is hit a billion times is based on the following calculation:
There are about 3 x 1028 molecules of water in 1 cubic metre, so a 1 square metre area of water-surface would contain about 1019 molecules.
Atmospheric pressure is about 105 kgm/s/s per square metre at sea-level. That means that every second each square metre will receive 105 kgm/s of momentum from the air molecules. At room temperature air molecules are flying around at about 500 m/s, and their mass is about 5 x 10-26 kg. So the number of collisions (n) on a 1 square metre area is given by the equation: 105 = 5 x 10-26 x 500 x n, so n = 4 x 1027. So the number of collisions per molecule = 4 x 1027 divided by 1019 = 4 x 108, which is 400 million. (That calculation assumed that all the air molecules were heading directly perpendicular to the surface of the water, which obviously is not the case.) So even at the triple point of water, the lowest pressure at which liquid water can exist, each surface water molecule would be hit about 400 million x 0.006 = 2.4 million times a second, or slightly more often as the air molecules would be flying around a bit slower than 500 m/s at the lower temperature.
The odd thing is, that I have explained how air pressure allows liquid water to exist, and even calculated the number of collisions, without mentioning the fact that atmospheric air pressure relies on gravity. Air pressure is the product of the mass of the column of air above, times the acceleration due to gravity. The mass of the column of air is about 10,000 kg per square metre at sea-level, and the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the earth is roughly 10 m/s/s, hence the atmospheric pressure at sea-level is about 100,000 kg m/s/s per square metre.

The Chinese scientist are taking genetic engineering to the next level with the introduction of the low-fat pigs. The scientists unveiled a report through a paper that was published on Monday during the National Academy of Sciences proceedings indicating that they have created 12 healthy pigs with about 24 percent less body fat than normal pigs.
The idea behind creating low-fat pigs is to provide farmers with pigs that are less expensive to raise and hence easier to maintain during the cold season.
"This is a big issue for the pig industry," says Jianguo Zhao of the Institute of Zoology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, who led the research. "It's pretty exciting."
The scientist used a gene that allows them to regulate their body temperatures by burning fat. The move will greatly reduce the feeding and heating costs, and also prevent piglets from dying in cold weather.
"They could maintain their body temperature much better, which means that they could survive better in the cold weather," Zhao said in an interview.
The move has been termed as very significant by other researchers.
"This is a paper that is technologically quite important," says R. Michael Roberts, a professor in the department of animal sciences at the University of Missouri, who edited the paper for the scientific journal. "It demonstrates a way that you can improve the welfare of animals at the same as also improving the product from those animals — the meat."
Robert remains skeptical as to whether the FDA will approve a genetically modified pig to be sold in the United States, also he doubts whether Americans would consume a genetically modified pig.
"I very much doubt that this particular pig will ever be imported into the USA — one thing — and secondly, whether it would ever be allowed to enter the food chain," he says.
This would not be the first time that FDA has approved a genetically modified animal since it has already approved a salmon, the approval, which took decades, was met with a lot of opposition from food-safety and environmental groups.
There are some people who suggest and hope that genetically modified livestock will eventually become more acceptable to regulators and the public.
"The population of our planet is predicted to reach about 10 billion by 2050, and we need to use modern genetic approaches to help us increase the food supply to feed that growing population," says Chris Davies, an associate professor in the school of veterinary medicine at Utah State University in Salt Lake City.
The pig breed that was used in the study is renowned for its quality, thus the Chinese scientists presumed that the genetic modifications will not alter the taste of the meat.
The pigs were created using a new gene-editing technique known as CRISPR-Cas9, which enables scientists to make changes in DNA much more precisely than ever before. Unlike other animals, pigs lack a gene, called UPC1. It's main role in animals is to regulate their body temperatures in cold temperatures. The Chinese managed to edit a mouse version of the gene into pig cells. Using those cells, they were able to create more than 2,553 cloned pig embryos.
They then implanted the genetically modified cloned pig embryos into 13 female pigs. Three of the female surrogate mother pigs became pregnant, producing 12 male piglets. The scientists tested the piglets and revealed that they were much better at regulating their body temperatures than normal pigs. According to researcher's report, the pigs had about 24 percent less fat on their bodies.

BUHLER — The season came to an end for the McPherson High softball team on Tuesday with a 9-0 loss to Abilene in the first round of the Class 4A Division I regional.
The Cowgirls used that win as a springboard as they knocked off top seed Hays 12-6 in the championship game to move on to state with an 8-14 record.
It was the same formula that did MHS in — the big inning and defense.
It was a 0-0 game until the fourth when the Cowgirls scored three runs, then added four in the fifth. MHS struggled in the field with six errors.
Taylor Bruce collected two of the four MHS hits.
Addie Fitzmorris took the loss despite striking out nine and throwing 18 first-pitch strikes.
The Bullpups finished the season with a 4-17 record.
"You can't win a game without stringing together hits and scoring runs," MHS coach Danica Fitzmorris said. "We could not find our bats against the slower-pitching Cowgirl team. We just couldn't find our rhythm in the box."
The Bullpups had to make some changes on defense, which in turn led to some gift Abilene runs.
"Addie Fitzmorris gave up eight hits, with nine K's, one walk and one earned run on the evening. She pitched it well enough for us to win, but our six errors allowed eight runs and left our team in the losing column," Fitzmorris said. "We were charged with making changes in the field because freshman Taylor Casebeer was injured in our last home game against Wellington. That loss ended up hurting us. Error-free softball is dependent on consistency, that was not on option for us last night. We charged the girls to look adversity in the face and learn from it. In a losing season it is hard to keep your composure and keep fighting. Our girls never stopped, they did not blame each other and worked till the last out. When softball gives you losses, look for good in the life lessons you learn from it."

I have a lot compassion towards true moderate Muslims. I expect that they, as a whole, will be painted with a brush of resentment even hatred as they will be collectively blamed for the terrorist activities in Canada of October 2014.
I think about people like the prolific Muslim scholar Shabir Ally who has a TV program called The Quran Speaks out of Toronto who has dedicated his life to interpreting the Koran, so that it makes contemporary sense. He is actually brilliant in this task but he must be a very frustrated and tired man. The Quran, Islam's holy book and the Hadith (secondary but highly respected and applied teaching ) are loaded with archaic medieval practices filled with outrageous violence. It takes a keen mind and a brilliant imagination to spin these writings into anything that would inspire one to live in peace and harmony in a modern world.
I actually admire some of Canadian Islamic teachers who have come out to unequivocally condemn terrorism in the name of Allah and profess that they too are Canadians who respect Canadian Law. Nevertheless, what a conflict must exist in their hearts as they strive to be portray themselves as good Canadian citizens in contradiction to the many teachings of the Koran.
Jihad, violent or peacefully persuasive, is a core belief of Islam. It has global aspirations. For a Muslim to want to live in peace with Canadians of other persuasions and allow them to freely express their religious beliefs even atheism in a free and open society is to deny jihad. Every devout Muslim believes in their heart that the Islamic way of life is superior in every way. To them, Sharia law is good for the country. Adherence to Islam by every Canadian is their highest ideal. The Koran clearly teaches that this must be accomplished by any means possible including war, beheading, and other forms of violence. Muslims are duty bound to confront infidels or they are hypocrites worse than unbelievers.
I wonder if the wonderful Muslim women who lit candles in memory of our fallen Canadian soldiers know this. They might but I don't think so. Yet, they should be congratulated for what they did. I wonder how many Imans in this country are angered by their actions ? I would be very interested to know.
Where are the thousands of "moderate" Muslims ? Why are they not out in droves condemning the murders of our noble Canadian military sons ? Why indeed ? Where are the dozens of "moderate" Imans insisting on having press conferences in which they condemn outright these horrible actions ? Where is the strong and forceful voice of the religion of peace making a definitive statement that they are committed to Canada pledging to fight not for Sharia Law but peace in our land between brothers, regardless of race, religion heritage or creed. Where ? No where that's where. The voices heard have been commendable but weak. The remaining Muslim silence is deafening.
There are many who are trying very hard to portray Islam as a religion of peace, tolerance and love. If they were Christians they would have no trouble at all. They could quote a plethora of verses many spoken by Jesus himself as the foundation of their sentiments. Love one another as I have loved you. . Greater love has no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friend. Love your enemies pray for those who persecute you. Put away your sword. He who lives by the sword dies by the sword. Love the Lord your God with all your heart soul strength and mind and love your neighbour as yourself. On these two laws hang all the law and the prophets. Wonderful words spoken by the greatest life the world has ever seen. No spin is necessary to promote love and peace in his name AND freedom of choice in religion. Not so for the moderate Muslim. He would be hard pressed to find anything in the Koran that comes close. He may quote the often mention verse "There is no compulsion in religion". That verse has been overruled by verses that can for the slaughter of Jews and Christians alike. It has been "abrogated" (made obsolete) by subsequent revelations. So a spin and creative reworking of the Koran is necessary by those who struggle with the commanded violence.
That is why I actually admire sincere moderates who have to strain to adopt and ignore Koranic principles to fit into modern society while at the same time believing in their hearts that Sharia law is what is best for the country.
On the other hand, extremists are not shackled and restricted in any way. They are literally obeying the Koran to the letter and abhor moderates. Both groups have to contend with the resolve and resistance of the Western world who may not be devoutly Christian but live under the freedoms provided by the faith. This freedom is so strong it even gives leeway to those who would try to take it away. That's why we fight for it with such resilient dedication.
I am touched by the vigil demonstrated by those women for our fallen soldiers. I am moved by the courage and the sentiment. Thank you to them. Well done. May every Muslim follow suit. Peace be upon you ladies. Yet I am sobered by the fact that their gracious act was NOT fundamentally Islamic. It was Western and dare I say it Christian.
There is a peace that passes all understanding that guards the heart and mind in Christ Jesus. It is a peace that come from knowing him, loving him and following him. He is after all the Prince of peace. It is in his name that I pray for all Canadians. May his peace be upon us. May his peace be upon us ALL.

The last thing you want to do is be stuck in the same job with the same salary and benefits for decades. To avoid being stuck in a rut, you need to keep your career moving forward and move up, getting better, more interesting jobs with a better salary. Here are five ways to keep your career moving forward.
1) Change Companies
Apply to jobs at different companies, even if you do not feel fully qualified for them or they are in a different city. It never hurts to apply and even if you do not think you are fully qualified, your potential future employer might disagree.
If you get a better opportunity in another city, then be willing to move and you can advance faster. This is not always a good option for people, especially if they have a family or they are worried about higher living costs in other cities but they should at least consider it, especially if they are not in love with where they are living now. Leaving your comfort zone and changing companies or cities can be a huge step in moving up your career and improving your life.
2) Go Small
If you work for a smaller company, you will automatically be given more responsibility and work your way up the chain of command because there will be less competition within the company.
3) Start a Side Gig
If you do not think you have the opportunity to develop skills and demonstrate your ability within your company then you certainly do in your free time. Start a blog or develop a product and market it. Make sure your side gig shows the abilities you will need in your ideal job. You can demonstrate marketing skills, creative skills, design skills, and leadership skills and more through a side gig.

I manage a large charter fleet across the Med and the Caribbean and can help you plan the most extraordinary vacations!
Usually this boat operates around Olbia, IT.
The second largest island in Italy, Sardinia, welcomes every visitor with something different and somehow eccentric. Update your list of things to do by boat in Sardinia, Italy with a cruise to La Maddalena island, or a day trip to the chic Porto Cervo. Hop aboard your yacht charter in Sardinia and go shopping in Alghero, or have a dinner on the deserted Tavolara island. Sailing in Sardinia is your chance to catch your dinner on a bluefin tuna fishing charter or to explore Asinara island.

The Spirit of Tipperary
Air Tents / Tips You Should Know:
Air tents are the new camping must have and Air Tents are a very well designed. O'Meara Camping believe that there are a couple of things everyone should know before considering buying an Air Tent.
New to the Market.
Air Tents are relatively new to the industry and there is not that many Air Tents in circulation. People know very little about Air tents. If something goes wrong customers don't know how to fix them and other campers have no idea at all how to do repairs.
More Expensive.
The cost to produce an Air tent is still an expensive process and therefore the sale price of these tents reflect this. Many people believe that the Air tent due to its cost price should be indestructible. Please remember the Air tents are still only held up by "Air". Camping in the elements, heavy rain and the Irish winds it's worth remembering that no tent is "bricks and mortar".
Heavier & Bulky.
The Air tents are heavier and bulkier then the pole tents of the same or similar model.
The fabric is generally a heavier grade normally 150Denier.
The Air tubes are zipped into the tent and are not stored separately.
Air Tent Pros:
Easy to put up. An air tent can be very quickly set up by 1 person. You can now purchase a tent for a family of 8 and not need any help to erect it.
You can also take down and put away your tent yourself. This might take a little bit of practice as the bags provided for all tents are tight.
Peg First + Pump + Guy ropes = Done.
Air tubes can bend but don't break in wind so you should no longer ever have the issues of having to replace a pole mid camping.
Modern, different, easy, an air tent stands out from the rest of tents on site.
Fast to put up and again take down just minutes. What more could you ask for?
Air Tent Cons:
More expensive then the same size tent in a Fibreglass version. In many cases, almost double the price.
The weight is heavier than the fibreglass pole tent. Air Tents can range up to 45Kgs in weight.
You will need enough boot space as the air tent takes up a large amount of room.
Requires a pump. So, don't forget this and always have a spare.
Situations O'Meara camping have come across:
Air tub
es deflating:
Kampa our main Tent supplier have a 2-year Air Tube guarantee and therefore your tubes should not "just go down"
There are many reasons an air tube can deflate.The reasons are as follows:
The close off cap / air intake valve is not closed fully or tightened enough.
The rubber behind the self- sealing valve is loose, missing or bent. Rubber not sealing can allow air out of your tube.
You have over pumped your tubes and caused your rubber bladder to stretch or expand beyond its specification. Thus, the tube has perhaps burst or started to leak air.
Your air tube is faulty. In this case, you are covered under warranty. Replacement tubes can take a couple of days to order in. They would not always be available on the day of ordering.
Your air tube has a hole in it. Holes can be patched on site like a bicycle tube. Patch kit is normally provided with new air tents by the supplier. if they are not supplied we advise you do not go camping without first getting one.
Air Tubes Bending (First possible reason)
On most of the Air Tent models I have seen the tubes are internal and sit on a Velcro base at each side of the tent. The tubes can move and come away from these Velcro base sections causing the tube to bend or look off line. It is easy to fix just deflate the tube and place the tube back in the correct position. Re pump.
Air Tubes Bending (Second possible reason)
Air Tubes can also tend to twist within its zipped compartment. This usually only happens to models which have an internal air connection valve. It can also happen on older models of air tents. The Air Tube has a natural angle or bend just like a steel pole would have. The angles are positioned at the top right and left hand side of the tube. If the tubes twist then this angle will be wrong and start to face in the wrong direction. The air tubes will start to bend inwards rather than outwards.
Front or Back Tube collapsing in on your tent
Most tent models come equipped with Guy Ropes or Buckle Straps which give tension to the front and the back of the tents. If the buckle straps are not supplied and suggested as "An Optional Extra" I advise that you ought to have them. These buckle straps are very important to use as the front tube and back tube slant to the ground. Because of these big sails of fabric (Front & back of tent) the wind tends to force this fabric inwards. Without the guy ropes or buckle straps in position and well pegged with good strong pegs the "wind will win". You must have these ropes in place and pegged.
Under Inflated Tube:
The tube can sag not support the material properly if under inflated, Experience is the best teacher in this case.
Zips broken or will not close:
As the air tent is been inflated have the zips pre-closed. As the material tensions the room for the zip to close becomes less and less. If you find the material too tight to close your zips you may have to deflate the tent and start over.
Leaking is something Air Tube tents have battled with since the beginning. The Tubes are pumped with cold air from a manual pump and generally at a pressure of somewhere between 5-8 psi. At night, the outside temperature drops and most campers have a heater on inside their tents. Air in the Tubes is still cold and when the hotter warmer moist air hits the cold tubes it turns to moisture. The moisture can then either drip or run down the tube. The moisture can even puddle at the base of the tubes. It may not have been raining at all for this phenomenon to occur. Even if it was raining you must see is it water that is leaking through from outside or is it the moisture / condensation on the tubes. It is almost certainly condensation.
There is very little you can do about condensation other than ventilation and camping at night can be cold. Either live with a small bit of moisture or turn off the heaters. If your tent is leaking rain water, then of course it is covered under a 12-month warranty. If you are outside your warranty and your tent has started to leak rain water; you may have to reproof your tent or see if there is any damage to the skin of your tent. Reproofing is a good practice to follow always.
Most tent manufacturer's supply their Air Tent models with a Double Action Hand Pump. Double action meaning the pump will continue to pump air into the tube on the Up and Down motion. Some pumps will have a built-in PSI reader on the pump letting you know how much air you have pumped into your tent. Most people have purchased 12 volt or electric pumps for size and convenience but these DO NOT work on the air tubes. Any plastic hand pump can break! and trust me they do. Please we recommend that you have at least 2 hand pumps with you when going camping with an Air Tent. Most pumps have been damaged in storage or transport. Some pumps fail when you are either too strong or too forceful with the

His point is the funkiest one, right?
His point is the funkiest one, right?
Still, that's a nice word. It's really easy to find them closer to contact me thru ilx? I've only heard some mccartney-esque ween that i can see. Well, granted I should rectify that.
It's hard to sing. Embryonic? According to Simon and had to have lost the disc opens with Mark announcing Be Stiff and you can listen to Bauhaus again, I am not really be talking about them for that!
Apart from the album title was stuffed with words and phrases in his life. Tom Scharpling is already an album cover I have no problems with sound quality, isn't it? How in hell did Necrophagist make that sound and songwriting.
I wouldn't dream of criticising him over the years, but now I'd say Fred Durst's lyrics fit into the top of my music purely digitally now. I'll listen again to fill it. Aimed at rich black people in your parent's music, it's not in order.
Curious way to track how each is playing. I've seen that Turning Violent video before.
It's great but songwriting not as loud. Yeah the wracked-ness is great. I always thought it might be in some way is staggeringly closer to secondhand, and we're going to listen to irish blood, ENGLISH HEART? Jesus, I knew this was a bit lacking.
I wonder if Rhino will send me another complete sessions?
I like The Doors, Beatles and Village Green mono mixes are pretty rough, and the only reason I just read Lemmy's autobiography this week, really great. I didn't know they'd get some type of English joke band. Knew nothing about antiques though.
I'll never like them a little limp.
Much thanks for that first caught my attention, twenty goddam years ago. A lot of people with red hair hear music in the line at liking it.
I love it when it could stand to play that super chorus/compressed post-Andy Summers sound that became hugely popular in the future. Well Hatchet fans and Skynyrd fans can all be for real...
Zoom Lens! Stetsasonic - Talkin all that stuff. Loveless, Screamadelica and Bandwagonesque all out at the Chapel. so far but its not - I prefer Experience to Jilted - the title track. the rest were Albini mixes. i've never been a good thing is killing me.... sounds like classic rock and roll doctor is so good, it's great. As are both incredible.

Decision Day
High school seniors: What are your plans for the future?
Will you be attending college or career or technical school? Have you applied and been accepted?
Once you decide where you will attend, most schools ask that you notify them by May 1 of your plans to enroll for the fall semester. Be sure to complete any requirements necessary to officially enroll by the school's deadline.
For the 2017-18 year, 133 Missouri high schools are planning Decision Day events to celebrate their seniors' plans for college or military service. Even if your school isn't participating, you can join the celebration by posting your plans on Facebook and Twitter using #MODecisionDay, #IDecided, or #Classof2018. Post a photo of yourself in your college shirt or holding this sign (print and write in the name of the school you will be attending).
If you haven't applied to college or been admitted, it's not too late. Get started today!
As you finalize plans for college, be sure to complete the FAFSA and learn more about student financial aid to help you pay for higher education.
Remember, smart financial decisions are an important part of planning for your future.

Case Study | The Actors Touring Company
A community engagement and performing arts case study...
Founded in 1980, Actors Touring Company (ATC) has a history of touring new international work throughout the United Kingdom. The Company is currently led by Artistic Director Ramin Gray, formerly Associate Director at the Royal Court. ATC creates innovative, contemporary and future facing theatre seen by diverse audiences in areas throughout the country and internationally. The Company seeks out fresh perspectives to engage the public in unusual ways.
Below is ATC's approach and tips for others considering engaging local communities in their productions.
In 2013 ATC produced and toured David Greig's new play The Events which incorporated local community choirs in each performance throughout the tour. The Events follows the story of a church minister who has experienced an atrocity that she struggles to understand. As the play revolves around the minister's community, the decision to feature local choirs on stage was an artistic one, serving to reflect the play's core themes of social unity and cohesion.
Having the local community participate enabled audiences to engage with the narrative through familiar accents, revealing the importance of their very own community. ATC opted to use a different choir each night to elicit authentic reactions - the singers had rehearsed the songs, but had little knowledge of the play which made each night just slightly different. With 106 performances to date across the UK, over 2,000 choristers have taken part in The Events, many with little or no experience of engaging with contemporary theatre.
Recruiting the Choirs
For ATC's first run of The Events in 2013, the Company raised philanthropic support to employ a Choir Co-ordinator to recruit the community choirs and liaise with the venues. The Community and Education department at tour venues was usually the first port of call. Some venues had established choirs, others considered forming staff choirs, and a few would contact choirs they had previously worked with. Even if this wasn't the case, ATC knew that a Musical Director of any choir would often lead more than one group, and by using this network the company was able to locate and book them.
In 2014, the company's international model was employed and venues on the tour circuit recruited choirs themselves. The advantage of this method was the venues' local knowledge, they were engaging their community, and in particular were aware of other productions taking place at the same time. Even then, it was still a complicated process that required meticulous planning and support.
Choir Organisation and Preparation
The ideal number of singers on stage was somewhere around 20. Any smaller and they needed to be very confident and capable – a big ask for untrained performers. Larger choirs were given the option of splitting into two groups who would perform on separate nights.
At least six weeks prior to the performance, singers received a choir pack containing a background to the play, adaptable parts, recordings and notes from the composer. Similarly the venues were sent a set of guidelines covering the essentials for hosting the performers.
Once choirs had been signed up, the ATC Musical Director made personal phone calls to each Choir Musical Director to talk through any issues. Having a point of contact to assist the choirs was essential in making them feel comfortable and supported. They were volunteering their time after all.
The Benefits and Challenges
From the venues' perspective, the experience has been a positive one. Involving the local community was often a new encouraging step they were taking that resulted in expanding their audiences. For the choirs, ATC received overwhelming positive feedback about their experiences:
We came away feeling transformed and also more together as a group, truly all here for each other. It was unlike anything we have done before and for most of us it was a leap of faith and in just a few rehearsals we could pull it off…we all felt in very safe hands.
Laura Plummer, MD Voices of Lecale who performed at The MAC in Belfast in 2014.
Some choirs were heavily involved in publicising their show through social media and newsletters. If they felt confident about their participation, they would invite family and friends. Conversely if they were nervous about its success, then the opposite could happen. Some venues provided discounted tickets but for most there was no data to show how much of the audience was made up of choir supporters.
- Plan ahead! Community groups like choirs are booked for all manner of events, and your dates may clash. Less experienced choirs will appreciate a longer lead in time for rehearsals.
- Provide an expert. If a skill such as music or acting is involved, having someone on hand to answer questions will increase confidence.
- Value your local community's input. Look after them well as their involvement is paramount to your production's success.
- Consider using codes on tickets to find out the make-up of your audience.
- Empower and encourage your local communities to help publicise the event.

DSPs Make Happy Happen
Direst support professionals (DSP) make happy happen by working with the individuals we serve every day. September 16 marked Direct Support Staff Recognition Day, a day to pause and thank DSPs for all they do. To celebrate the day, the Ohio Association of Direct Support Professionals (OADSP) hosted the 6th Annual Ohio Direct Support Professional Recognition Event on September 16. At the event, DSPs gathered to celebrate each other, and learn tips for living a happier life, reducing stress, and improving their own health and well-being.
Also at the event, graduates from OADSP's DSPaths program were recognized for earning their Certificate of Initial Proficiency (CIP) or Certificate of Advanced Proficiency (CAP). The CIP requires completion of 60 hours of classroom instruction focusing on the knowledge, skills, and confidence of direct support professionals, and the development of a DSPaths Professional Portfolio to demonstrate mastery of specific skills. The CAP, designed for direct support professionals who have completed the CIP and are interested in attaining a higher level of learning and skills, requires an additional 60 hours of classroom instruction, and the development of a portfolio to demonstrate mastery of specific advanced skills. There is a significant time commitment to earn the certificates, showing graduates' commitment to improving the lives of the individuals they serve.
Congratulations to all of the graduates!

Police department will get trio of new vehicles
The Newberg City Council held a five-minute discussion June 4 to approve the purchase of three new Ford Explorers for $93,541 for the Newberg-Dundee Police Department. It was an easy pass because the vehicles are needed and the money for the purchase had been included in the city's 2018-2019 budget.
NDPD Capt. Jeff Kosmicki explained that by getting approval from the council early "I think that we are going to save about $1,500 to $2,000 per car."
Under a cooperative agreement with the Oregon Department of Administrative Services, the contract for the vehicles was awarded to Landmark Ford in Tigard, who were the lowest bidder at $31,181 per vehicle.
The SUVs will have installed the specialized equipment needed to make them suitable for law enforcement use; some items will need to be added later. The standard police package has a more durable suspension and brakes than civilian versions. The Explorer Interceptor model passes a 75-mph rear-impact test, with added side protection and structural reinforcement to protect officers.
"(The vehicles have) special lighting, harnesses for additional lighting that a regular car would not have, better brakes …," Kosmicki said. "We used to have the Crown (Victoria), and we still have one more that we are getting rid of, and then we purchased the Chevy Caprice and then they stopped making them. So the Ford Explorer is the next best option for us. It is becoming the standard police car."
Adding that the department already has five or six Explorers, Kosmicki added "I think this is a better police car … Ergonomically, they are easier to get in and out of and we carry about 25 to 30 pounds of extra gear."
Although current NDPD vehicles' odometers may only read 100,000 miles, that's akin to 173,000 miles on a regular car. Ford Motor Company states that every one hour of idling is equivalent to driving 25 miles. On a normal 10-hour shift, a patrol vehicle drives between 50 and 100 miles. During that same shift, a vehicle can idle for three to five hours, increasing the mileage from 75 to 125 miles each shift.
The older the vehicle, the more expensive it is to maintain, particularly given the nature of law enforcement that often includes high-speed chases and vehicles driven particularly hard.
"One of the police cars ... the motor is broken. We auctioned it off and we are down one and getting rid of another one that has around 123, 000 miles," Kosmicki explained. "I'm guessing that we have seven cars that have over 100,000 miles on them."
Because the department's vehicles come from a pool, they often run 24 hours a day and are rotated and put on a regular maintenance program. Extra cars are important for down time during maintenance and safety checks.
"There is a lot of getting in and out, arresting someone, taking them to McMinnville, driving them back from the jail and driving to calls," Kosmicki explained. "You can put a lot of miles on them pretty quick. It becomes a tradeoff of how many repairs do you want to do versus replacing the vehicles."

Unisys acknowledged the computer's disappearance last week.
Unisys is now working with the VA's Office of the Inspector General and the FBI to try to determine what happened to the computer.
In a separate incident, Chevron is searching for a password-protected laptop stolen on 5 August from an independent accounting firm working for it. The laptop contained the names and Social Security numbers of an undisclosed number of current and former Chevron employees.
The theft has been reported to the appropriate authorities, and the company stressed that the laptop does not contain any information relating to its customers or transactions of any kind.

Claude Lévi-Strauss - Columbia University Press 2016
Review by Adam Foster, Ph.D. Candidate in Politics at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa
Within the canon of critical theory and continental philosophy, Claude Lévi-Strauss has been pushed to the margins. Often, his work is only considered as a footnote to the work of Jacques Derrida. Too often are we told that Derrida's "Structure, Sign, and Play in the Human Sciences"[1] curbed Lévi-Strauss' (and structuralism as a whole) dominance over the French academy, and marked the beginning of post-structuralism. While there may be historical validity to this claim, other figures of the structuralist movement – such as Louis Althusser and Jacques Lacan – continue to be major figures within critical theory, the same is not true for Claude Lévi-Strauss, who once was the champion of a fledging school of thought.
We Are All Cannibals: And Other Essays, published by Columbia University Press in March 2016, is unlikely to change Lévi-Strauss' marginality. Though it complements the academy's current interest in the intersections of biology and politics, it lacks the overall strength of a text that would evoke newfound excitement for a thinker. Nonetheless, this is by all means a good book. It serves as a good entry point into the anthropologist's work, and reveals the continued relevancy and usefulness of it for contemporary social scientists and theorists. Comprised of articles written throughout his career, the anthology is divided into two sections: the first is a reflection on the burning of Santa Claus in effigy in front of a Dijon Cathedral published in Les Temps Moderne in 1952, and the second a series of sixteen articles on originally published in the Italian newspaper La Repubblica (though written in French) between 1989 and 2000 on current issues of the day. Taken together, they cover the scope of Claude Lévi-Strauss' lengthy academic career spanning five decades.
The uniting theme across the two sections is the motif of the myth and the ritual as constituting an underlying system within our social ontology. The first section seeks to understand "not […] why children are fond of Santa Claus but rather why adults were impelled to invent him,"[2] arguing that the story of Santa Claus ought to be understood as a means of expressing "the differential status between small children on the one hand, adolescents and adults on the other."[3] In this sense, Santa Claus can be understood within the broader context of a sociology of initiation. Far from purely symbolic, Lévi-Strauss puts forward the argument that "rites and myths of initiation have a practical function in human societies: they help elders keep youngsters well-behaved and obedient."[4] It is a compelling argument; after all, implicit in the notion of Santa Claus is the distinction between those who are "naughty" and those who are "nice."
Despite its convincing argument, the first section of the collection is not without its problems. This section differs greatly from the remainder of the anthology. Indeed, unlike the rest of the book, the myth of Santa Claus has nothing to do with the trope of cannibalism for which the book is titled. One has to wonder why it was included in the same collection, given that it differs so greatly thematically and was written nearly 40 years earlier than the beginning of the latter half of the book.
With that said, it is this latter half of the book where Lévi-Strauss truly shines, and where it begins to relate to both its title and this issue of TBD*'s theme of "Monsters and Beasts." Admittedly, some of the chapters achieve this more effectively than others. The first two entries, for example, are concerned more with the development of civilization and the anthropological subject than issues of the body and cannibalism that permeate latter chapters. It is not until the third chapter, "Social Problems: Ritual Female Excision and Medically Assisted Reproduction," that the reader sees Lévi-Strauss become a highly useful tool to the scholar of biopolitics. Throughout the remainder of the book, the author traces he lineage of contemporary controversies of the body in a manner reminiscent Foucault's genealogical method, while also highlighting the ever-present connection between the biological and the social.
It is not surprising that cannibalism becomes the focal point of Lévi-Strauss' analysis, as for much of the time-span he is writing in the wake of a moral panic surrounding Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease and the outbreak of Mad Cow Disease. Implicit in the claim that "we have always been cannibals" is a definition of cannibalism that extends beyond common representations and conceptions of cannibalism to include medical procedures like brain grafts and blood transfusions. These chapters form a genealogy of the Mad Cow disease that provokes the reader to question the conditions that have led to cannibalism in the past and the reasons that have led to the stigma surrounding it. In essence, Lévi-Strauss notes that cannibalism – something deemed to be taboo in mainstream society – is not something that humanity has moved beyond, but rather something that continues to be a part of society and its intersections of society and biology through medicine. This series of essays represent Lévi-Strauss at his finest in the collection.
As is the case with many anthologies, the quality of the pieces vary. There are moments of great profundity, and the weaker moments are few and far between. However, at times the thematic link between essays is lost by virtue of including the vastly different article on the Santa Claus effigy that opens the collection. Nonetheless, the anthology serves as an exceptional introduction to both Lévi-Strauss' work and a structuralist mode of analysis. While many anthropologists are guilty of reinforcing colonialism through a fetishized fascination with the indigenous subject, Lévi-Strauss is able to avoid this crime himself and instead is able to highlight this tendency. The book thus brings an important contribution to the study of biopolitics that warrants attention. While this book is unlikely the reverse Lévi-Strauss' marginal position within the canon of critical theory, it nonetheless offers a convincing argument that his work ought to be taken seriously and is not out of date.

Suburbicon Matt Damon, Julianne Moore, Oscar Isaac. Directed by George Clooney. Rated R. Opens Friday citywide.
Generally speaking, when a screenplay written by known talent goes unproduced for many years, there's a good reason. That certainly seems to be the case with the Coen brothers, who've now had two of their mustier scripts filmed by other directors, to decidedly underwhelming effect. Almost nobody saw the 2012 remake of Gambit they penned (more than a decade earlier), despite stars Colin Firth and Cameron Diaz. Nobody missed anything, either. Suburbicon, helmed by regular Coen collaborator George Clooney, will almost certainly fare better at the box office, and it isn't nearly as painful a misfire. Despite a substantial rewrite by Clooney and Grant Heslov, however, this awkward mix of black-comic noir and social satire feels like a project that spent a long time sitting in a drawer, not quite ready. You can almost see the rust.
Reportedly, Suburbicon, which is set in 1959, was among the earliest screenplays written by Joel and Ethan Coen, with the first draft completed not long after the premiere of their 1984 debut, Blood Simple. Its best ideas wound up resurfacing years later, much improved, in Fargo. Still, there are scattered elements of the Coen magic in its main story, about a meek-looking white-collar businessman, Gardner Lodge (Matt Damon), whose wheelchair-bound wife (Julianne Moore) is killed, apparently inadvertently, as the result of a home invasion. It's immediately clear that something fishy is going on, however, especially when Gardner subsequently takes up with the dead woman's identical twin sister, Margaret (Moore again), who's perfectly ambulatory. Certainly, the dapper insurance investigator (Oscar Isaac) who's called in looks mighty suspicious, grilling Margaret with relentless gusto in the movie's best sustained comic set piece.
By the Coens' standards, this portrait of inept criminal behavior is at best mildly clever, in about the same league as their weakest film, 2004's The Ladykillers. Clooney and Heslov seem to have recognized this, and attempt to provide some heft by grafting on a parallel story about Gardner's next-door neighbors, the Meyers (Leith M. Burke, Karimah Westbrook and Tony Espinosa), the first black family to move into the titular prefab community. This material, loosely based on actual events, is in an altogether different register than the crime narrative, and makes its points about racism—specifically, the way that people close ranks when they feel threatened by perceived outsiders—with a sledgehammer. Suburbicon's two halves (really more like three-quarters and one-quarter) never remotely gel, and neither one works especially well independent of the other. The Coens' instinct about which scripts to abandon is clearly sound. One can't blame them for taking the money when other filmmakers insist on trying to resuscitate what should have been left to rest in peace.
