Unless the vehicle is buried in a coal mine the solar panel can be put on the roof of the building and wired to a plug. I got nearly 10 years out of a stored vehicle battery that way, it only died because a small branch fell on the panel and blocked it.

NFL commissioner should be held accountable
In the multi-billion dollar enterprise that is the NFL, morals are defined not by right and wrong, but by the dollar signs that cement its legacy. The supremacy that it holds might be to akin to that of the Titanic in that it is considered "too big to fail." The late afternoons of guzzling down beverages of choice, dunking nachos and adjusting your fantasy football roster while watching your favorite players duke it out gladiator style has evolved past being a culture into more of a necessity. Even if the love of your life has abandoned you, or even if the prospects of getting a job in the economy have dwindled into oblivion, you can always find solace in the fact that your favorite team's banners will shine brightly that upcoming Sunday morning. It is an all-encompassing sport that has captured the heart of America and the man that stands before the glorious empire might in fact be the most powerful man in all of sports.
However, with looming allegations of the NFL's incompetence in domestic abuse, the question remains: Can the wealthiest and most influential billionaire-owners spearheaded by a for-profit commissioner evade the public manifestations that call for their heads? The answer to that question might just revolutionize our perception of sports forever.
In the recent Ray Rice domestic violence incident, there have been outcries that the original handed down suspension of two games, not only was insult to the intelligence of the American people, but a case of the NFL's blatant and outdated policy. It was outrageous, sure, considering the once yearlong suspension to Josh Gordon for testing positive for marijuana. However, there has since been great efforts to undo both wrongs with the new polices implemented that give harsher penalties to domestic violence. The primary reasons for the change was not the NFL's apparent newfound respect for women, but to save face and correct a mistake.
In light of the newer evidence from TMZ's video of Rice physically knocking out his fiancée, many acclaimed figures have called for the resignation of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. And why shouldn't they?
Still, it must be noted that the NFL is a 2,560-man league, not including coaches and assistants involved, with the average crime rates significantly below national average for men around in the 25-to-29 age range. In fact, the overall arrest rate of the NFL seems to be just 13 percent of the national average.
Goodell, while a highly influential figure, cannot be held responsible for every individual in the league — a player's crimes are not a reflection of his ability as a commissioner. Holding lower crime rates than the national average, however, is an indicator that the methodology of punishment overall has been successful, even though these notable cases receive a lot of public criticism.
Also, for a majority of cases, there is a system in place to determine the number of games and monetary value of punishment a player receives beforehand so the actual punishment in many cases may be engraved in stone. This does not excuse the fact that a highly disproportionate amount of the offenses are cases of domestic violence, with a relative arrest rate of 55.4 percent of the national average. While the new standard implemented should change the overall mindset and rate of the crimes committed with the awareness of the new policy, it did suggest previous negligence on Goodell's part.
The commissioner of the NFL, due the influence that he holds, should be held to a higher standard than most as is the case with leaders of other industries with substantial power. While we may criticize Goodell for his role as a commissioner for a myriad of factors, it must be understood that the NFL is a business. Like all businesses, while we may fault it for many reasons, the bottom line is the entertainment quality for consumers and profit margins for the owners. This does not excuse the moral implications of covering up the Rice video, but we must heed caution at calling for the man's job just because we don't like him — being one of the most powerful men in sports is no easy feat. However, too many getaways with altering the game of football without public consent may be Goodell's downfall, because if the cover-up conspiracies hold true, the biggest resignation in sports history may be in NFL's future.

As seen on TV
The vagaries of channel-surfing allowed me to discover this political-variety programme, since now we need appetisers to sweeten politics. We will not be surprised then if the sweetener itself—just like Beppe Grillo in Italy—through the effect of familiarity, were elected.
In any case, there he is, yellow eyes and grey stubble, in order to sell the television chain that he created on the Internet and where, "everything will be there, trades and cooking included", in order to sweeten Mélanchon.
The screen qualifies him as "psychoanalyst" although no one has ever discerned any psychoanalytic speech from the mouth of this preacher, flared out around the barrel of a Kalashnikov, but that must give him a stylish or inspired impression.
A few decades ago, he came to see me to inform me of his candidature in the Freudian School of Paris. His analyst—Conté—and his supervisor—Faladé—were favourable to this. (Later confronted with his mistake, Conté thought he had to withdraw from the world). For more than an hour, I tried to explain to the candidate that he was mistaken regarding his talents, and that he was cut out for the stage.
At the Directory meeting where the decision had to be made, I threw myself hopelessly in defence of the honour of the profession, cornering Lacan, in a stranglehold of family bonds, and my colleagues whose concern was to catch the prevailing winds, even if they were malodorous, also vowing myself to the already reheated revenge of the older brother. Presumptuously, I told myself bizarrely that I had to do it.
The memory would amuse me if the spectacle of this ageing buffoon did not sadden me in my heart of hearts.
What software programme is he the victim of, to rave on like that, to excuse for example the murders of Castro by those of his predecessor? Is that social progress?
Actually, I know his engram. If this hot-tempered man is bad, is it also that history was bad for his family. He knocks everyone out of his way, just like others knocked his family members out of the way. And this is the worst inheritance that criminals can leave.
Ch. M. 31 01 18

COMMENT | When Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad reminds Suhakam that our value system is not the same
as the West, this is complete horse manure. Are there differences in
what we as Asians value than that of the West? Sure, there is. You could
make the argument that what we value as a community, regardless of race
and religion, differs from the West. So, there's that.
But when it comes to the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,
and queer) issue, what separates us from the "West" is that we are bare
naked hypocrites. Indeed, all you weaselly politicians are big stinking
hypocrites. And anyone who supports you in this thinking is a big
stinking hypocrite, too.
When the Wikileaks cables scandal erupted many years ago, tongues
were waging of the gay politicians within the then Umno establishment.
Does anyone really know of the gay politicians in the now Harapan
establishment? What about the grassroots level operators who are gay?
What about the propagandists from Harapan – DAP, PKR, Bersatu, even
Amanah – who are gay?
I do not aim to please anyone. This is my blog, there is no blog like this. I am not mainstream. Read my disclaimer before posting comments and threatening me. Not to worry, I will not quiver in my boots. If you are not happy, no problem, just take a hike!!

The toxicity in the Blogging Industry is not serving you.
Guys, if you don't know about the current nastiness that's going on, please don't even read this post. Please. Shut your laptop, close this tab on your phone and please drift into your weekend with blissful unawareness.
Whether you are a blogger or a keen reader, do not be entertained by the negativity that is so much closer to home. Guys, we're better off binge watching the Kardashian shows if we enjoy the drama.
The South African blogging drama is without any doubt distracting us from our positive and uplifting tasks at hand.
Do not allow the negative nellies and those who are cheering them on with their support drag you into this.
Lately, (not only lately), there have been bloggers accusing each other of buying followers. There have been bloggers who get involved in Influencer Campaigns from the brand's side, bloggers getting nasty about what other bloggers call themselves. Bloggers getting nasty about whether blogs are still relevant and being read at all. And so much more.
I mean really, there are tweets and statements out there along the lines of "Proper Influencers don't need to call themselves that" and all sorts of bullshit, you guys. But why? What for? Who does this benefit if we make a public statement like that?
For me, when people put out negative statements like that, and when people support negative statements like that, it tells me more about them and their internal struggles than anybody else.
Some useless information; I live in a creative bubble and somewhat under a rock. It really helps me to know more about someone when they call themselves a blogger, influencer or public figure. Because, unless you are Oprah or Roger Federer it is very likely that I am not going to know that you are a public figure when I meet you in person.
And, many public figures I have met have introduced themselves to me in a humble manner as if I have never seen them before, even when I knew exactly who they were. Those are the people who have a true sense of perspective. For me, it is often the case that public figures and Influencers who call themselves those names understand that not everyone lives in their world.
I get contacted about these blogger's "disputes" but guys, I'm not interested in commenting, okay?
As far as fake followers go, I don't want to engage. I don't care if other people have bought followers. It does not serve me to get involved in the drama. I don't want to read about it anymore. I don't want to watch anything about it anymore. I'm trying hard to eradicate it out of my own life. In the big wide world, these issues will never go away, but in my world it is not welcome.
I see all this shit going on online and it ropes me in like a drug that I need to resist. Last night I was tempted to go into multiple programs and calculate my follower health and all sorts of things at the wrong time. It almost dragged me away from my family time.
But also, the question is why on earth to do this?
I have multiple programs installed (that I had to pay money for) that tell me an overwhelming amount of information. The question is how do these programs calculate all the figures? And most of the figures are bullshit. I get different figures from respective programs and some of the same figures come free with software included from Facebook and the social giants. They tell me things like best time to post, engagement rates and a list of figures that are too long to even include in this blog post. These programs calculate figures with coding. I have spent days on end calculating averages from respective programs. I have spent days on end calculating figures manually, post by post. I have paid people to do these calculations for me! Why am I wasting money like this? Why?
Most brands "know more about me than I know about myself" when they reach out to me or don't reach out to me.
Why, ffs, am I wasting my valuable time.
This morning Instagram has mistaken me for a bot. I am a real person. Instagram, your code is not perfect but I think you know that.
Instagram has questioned me as a real person because I have been unliking almost my entire list of people I follow. I'm doing it so quickly that the code is picking up irregularity, so they think I'm a bot. That's fine. Who knows how this code is connected to the other codes? Who knows how this action is going to affect my stats. I don't care, guys. I'm currently over all the negativity and utter bullshit in this industry.
I'm currently questioning whether I even want to be in this industry at all.
I don't really understand why all this drags me into a dark pit.
Why do I feel temptation to check out "follower health" and more and more and more stats about myself?
Why oh why for man alive? It's beyond me.
I know I have not bought one follower.
I know I am happy with my engagement rate.
I know I constantly strive to improve myself.
I know that brands won't contact me if they think my blog and figures don't fit them.
I know a brand will reject my pitch if they don't like what they see.
Guys, drama sells. For good reason. We see this in film and television industry.
It is a psychology topic in itself.
Today I am asking you:
Please don't tell me who did what. I prefer to honour the divine in everyone, love the good in everyone and respect that good people do bad things against better judgement.
Please don't rope me into the gossip. I am human and you are tempting me.
Please stop it.
It is affecting my mental health and taking my eye off the ball.
I am busy with positive things.
Leave me to do my thing, please.
I don't know if this is going to have any impact but guys, we're much better off hopping onto YouTube and following a guided meditation than reading posts and watching videos about all this negativity.
Stay focused on your own journey.
Stay focused on your positive vibes.
With Love and Gratitude,
P.S I'm not linking back to any other posts. I don't care about SEO or anything else to do with blogging today. Today I am going to try and focus on things that serve me and while I know that blogging does, it certainly does not feel that way today.
Quote of the day:
And by the way, this is just one of the ways we rise. Don't discount the good in others when they have momentarily been off their game.

It's as if you ran into my brain and wrote out all the stuff I have been thinking hahaha gosh so much nonsense and why because people are purely jealous. That is all. Write because you enjoy it not because you want free shit.
Laetitia Corder
Thanks for your comment, Caryn. It pains me deeply that there is such a lack of love, gratitude, empowerment and respect in this industry. Personally, I don't mind if people write for free shit, for themselves, for money or for whatever. It just gets me into a place of darkness when people don't respect the rights and thoughts of others. In fact, it's fine if they can't get themselves to such a place of love either. But, lashing out in public from a negative place is unnecessary in my opinion. It serves no purpose.
Spirited Mama
Well said Tish! I refuse to be sucked in by negativity and doubting myself because…. I am me. I can only do me x.
Laetitia Corder
Amen sista lol. I wish I could simply refuse though. It tempts me into darkness, big time.
Karen at MomAgain@40
Ditto! ????????Even I was trying to check out my followers and engagement ???? Most of the times I am just over-the-moon happy when I see someone saw my post. I am doing this for myself. Good luck to all of you who are doing this as a job.
You are spot on. If you keep on doing and focusing on the right things, you don't have to focus on the negative. By the way! You are doing it right! ????????
Laetitia Corder
Thanks for the love, Karen. It is funny indeed, the negativity can suck all of us in. LOL. It's stupid.

"We Are in Love" Stars Bolin Chen (Bobo) And Ji Hyo Song (Momo) Fall In Love With Finland On Screen
Finland is an increasingly popular tourism destination for Chinese travellers and the experience of the celebrities on "We Are in Love" showcases some of the amazing experiences and breathtaking landscapes that draw more and more Chinese travellers to Finland. Viewers of the show are sure to be inspired by the uniquely Finnish destinations and activities as much as they are by the couple's adorable romance. The three episodes were filmed in Rovaniemi, the Official Hometown of Santa Claus in March 2016.
In episode 6, the couple goes on a "Lapland Safari", starting with an exciting husky sleigh ride allowing them to experience remote areas not accessible by car. The couple learned to guide a team of dogs for an exhilarating high-speed ride that had them laughing, screaming, and singing with excitement. The sleigh ride was followed by an ice-fishing experience on top of a frozen lake where the couple tried out their outdoors skills, drilling through the thick ice and even succeeding in catching a small fish before being surprised by the arrival of Santa Claus on a reindeer-led sleigh.
The couple enjoyed a heart-to-heart conversation with Santa before going on to spend a romantic evening chatting the night away in a unique glass igloo hotel featuring a glass-domed ceiling allowing them to enjoy the very special aurora borealis in the night sky. The Northern Lights are one of the most astonishing natural phenomena in the world and lucky visitors to Finland can see the sky dancing with deep green and yellow colours, sometimes streaked with bands of red.
In episode 7, the couple fully experiences the tradition of Sauna. Finland is the land of the sauna and the Finns are a nation of sauna-enthusiasts. Finland has a population of 5.4 million and about 2 million saunas — one for every three inhabitants. Bobo and Momo took the experience seriously and tried it the authentic way, even hitting themselves with a birch whisk for circulation and chilling themselves in an ice cold lake afterwards.
Only in Finland can you meet Santa, his elves and reindeer year round at the Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi, Lapland. Bobo and Momo are given the chance to enroll in the Santa Park Elf School, where they're taught the fun and loving skills and secrets of the elves and they have the chance to send special letters from Santa's Post Office.
Bobo described his experience in Finland so far as one of a kind, "I've been in a lot of movies, but never seen such an amazing view as this." Similarly, Momo has compared her time in Finland to "the feeling of being in a beautiful dream". Viewers of the show have also been enraptured by the scenes of Finland and the locations and activities featured on "We Are in Love" are expecting a boost in Chinese tourists inspired by the fun and excitement of Bobo & Momo's Finnish adventure. Tour operators are already designing tour packages centred around their itinerary.
One more episode featuring their Finnish experiences is still yet to air this coming Sunday, May 8th.

The NASCAR Busch Series
Topics: Busch Series
Jim Johnson
August 18, 2006
NASCAR runs a second division stock car racing event called the NASCAR Busch Series. It is the training ground for up and coming drivers wanting to eventually compete in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series. Initially known as the Sportsman Series, it began back in 1950, and was based around a series of short track racing events. In 1984 brewing company Anheuser-Busch took over the leading role of series sponsor, and 2 years later the series became officially known as the Busch Grand National Series. In 2003 the Busch Grand National Series series became known as the NASCAR Busch Series.
The NASCAR Busch Series features race cars which differ from those race cars used in other NASCAR series in several important ways. First, they are smaller, better at coping with the tighter curves of the track. Secondly, they have larger spoilers. Third, they use leaded fuel. Concern has been expressed over the environmental damage this has caused, and NASCAR is researching the possibility of using only unleaded fuel in the cars in the Busch Series, working to determine how it will affect performance. NASCAR design teams work all year round to improve the cars competing in the Busch Series, which also rely on the hard work as skill of NASCAR crews on the ground during the series races. Manufacturers have now approved NASCAR's plans to make some major changes to the cars which compete in the Busch Series. This is an example of the major changes which have occurred within NASCAR itself since its early days in which spectators, living in a country short of new cars, didn't want to watch good quality cars being damaged in NASCAR races, so that modified old cars were used in the series instead.
The Busch Series not only provides an opportunity for NASCAR drivers to hone their skills for the Nextel Cup, it provides a good opportunity for established Cup drivers to practice and get the feel of the track. Many Cup Series drivers run full Busch and Nextel Cup seasons. There are those Busch Series drivers that protest that this takes away chances from new drivers trying to get their feet wet in NASCAR events. Others argue that having Cup drivers in the Busch Series draws more spectators which is a good thing. It also means that sponsors find the Busch Series more appealing as far as sponsoring drivers go. Other Busch drivers like the added competition of racing Cup drivers.
Every race counts in the NASCAR Busch Series, with some of the races counting more than other races. O'Reilly Raceway Park is one of the most popular tracks used in the Busch Series race season. Many drivers who win at O'Reilly Raceway Park frequently end up winning the series championship. Spectators also favor O'Reilly as a Busch Series venue, as there is plenty of close contact between drivers. O'Reilly Raceway Park has a long and colorful history as a venue for short track racing.

Mid-Ulster Ulster Unionist MLA, Sandra Overend, along with her Ulster Unionist Party colleagues, Doug Beattie MLA and Roy Beggs MLA, has brought a motion to the Assembly calling for a review of bail policy in cases of terrorism and murder.
This followed the revelation that Damien Joseph McLaughlin, who had been on bail charged with offences linked to the murder of Cookstown Prison Officer David Black, had not been seen by police since November.
Mrs Overend said: "Earlier this month I was shocked to learn, through media reports, that a man accused in connection with the murder of David Black has not been seen by the police since November, whilst on police bail.
"It is absolutely disgraceful that this man – a man that has already made headlines, when the authorities previously allowed him to attend a spa break in Fermanagh – was allowed to disappear while on bail. Those responsible for this inexcusable situation have demonstrated a lack of respect towards the family of the late David Black.
"My thoughts and sympathies continue to be with the Black family, who have been put into the public eye once again due to the failings of the judicial system, the very system in which he served so faithfully.
"I have written to both the Chief Constable and the Justice Minister regarding both the clear failings identified in this case, as well as the wider issue of the policy of granting bail to suspects accused of offences relating to terrorism and murder. However, along with my party colleagues, I felt that it was important that the deep concern at this case, and the wider bail policy, was put on record in the Assembly Chamber.
"The appalling failings demonstrated here have understandably caused much anger across Mid-Ulster, an area which has suffered more than most at the hands of terrorists. Faith in the justice system has been damaged, particularly amongst victims.
"It is my firm belief that terrorist suspects should remain in custody for as long as is necessary to allow judicial proceedings to be completed. Our motion, which called on the Justice Minister to reflect on the failings clearly identified in this case, and review how terrorism suspects are managed within the justice system, received the majority support of the Assembly this afternoon."

It should be noted that the vast majority of protesters were not students or faculty..they were outsiders. From MSNBC:
On campus, Obama entered the arena to thunderous applause and a standing ovation from many in the crowd of 12,000. But as the president began his commencement address, at least three protesters interrupted it. One yelled, "Stop killing our children."
The graduates responded by chanting "Yes we can", the slogan that became synonymous with Obama's presidential campaign. Obama seemed unfazed, saying Americans must be able to deal with things that make them "uncomfortable."
The president ceded no ground on abortion. But he said those on each side of the debate "can still agree that this is a heart-wrenching decision for any woman to make, with both moral and spiritual dimensions.
"So let's work together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions by reducing unintended pregnancies, and making adoption more available, and providing care and support for women who do carry their child to term."
The religious folks must come to terms with protecting embryo's that become children. They must protect the child that is born and make sure he or she can grow to become a viable member of our society as their job isn't finished when the child is born. They can not just scream and holler about protecting the embryo, they must continue to protect the human being. That is the biggest hypocrisy to me with regard to the anti-choice crowd.

Operations teams have a lot of ground to cover to keep things running smoothly at your organization. They handle maintenance, moves and safety audits. Like other business teams, they have to track and manage requests, along with ensuring that the work actually gets done. And like other teams, handling their processes in a transparent manner, so customers can check the status of their requests, will reduce interruptions and allow them to function more efficiently. So, why not empower your Operations team with a great tool like Jira?
Add Detailed Business Information Without Jira Custom Fields
Some processes are highly specialized and require a lot of process-specific information. Imagine your Operations team is using Jira. The cafeteria would like to use it to handle requests for catering, but a lot of the information they need - menu items, dietary restrictions, etc. - doesn't really fit in fields that were originally created for software development.
There are a couple of options. Jira is immensely flexible. You can create custom fields, screens and configurations for just about anything. There are a few problems with this though:
- Operations teams will have to rely on IT support whenever they wish to create or change one of the processes they manage in Jira.
- An endlessly expanding plethora of customizations will become a headache for your Jira Admin to manage, and may eventually have a negative impact on Jira's performance.
Another option is to ask the folks who are making the requests to put all of the needed details in the description field. This works in theory. The problems is that people don't always know, or if they do know they don't always remember, what those needed details are. The best way to get the information you need is to prompt people for each specific item. This is exactly why forms were invented and have persisted as one of the most widely-used business tools ever.
Advantages of Using Forms in Jira
Forms are not new, innovative or sexy. What they are is a tried and true, practical way of gathering data. Along with collecting complete information and freeing you from the need for custom fields, using forms with Jira has several other advantages:
- Forms are familiar
Your customers know the drill and will understand what you need from them.
- Form data is structured
There's no need to try to parse out menu items, number of attendees and the delivery address from one description field. Every data point is in it's own place so you can pull what you need.
- Form fields can be formatted and validated to your needs
Teams can employ validation to ensure that forms cannot be submitted unless the required fields have been filled out. Teams can also ensure that requests conform to their business rules (for example, no internal catering for events attended by more than 200 people).
- The work gets done
Information gathering is the first step. ProForma forms are backed by a Jira workflow, so the process that the form sets in motion actually gets carried out. And if there's some internal information that needs to be tracked, you can add multiple forms to an issue.
- Form data can be easily reported on
Want to see how many breakfast services are ordered for the upcoming week so you can buy the right number of frozen pastries? Download a report.
Getting Business Teams into Jira is Easy with ProForma Forms & Templates
Wondering when your Operations team would find the time to build the forms they need? We've given you a head start. Internal catering is just one of the many Operations templates available in the ProForma template library. These processes were designed in consultation with business are experts and can be easily modified by your Operations team, without needing customizations from you!

Who will win World Cup 2018? Vote for your champion!
World Cup 2018 kicks off imminently in Russia on Thursday June 14, with the final coming a month later on Sunday July 15, 2018. Thirty-two teams are vying for a place in history at football's most prestigious tournament this summer.
Seven former World Cup winners will be competing: Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Uruguay, France, England and Spain. The only team to have won the finals before are four-time champions Italy, who failed to qualify from UEFA's play-offs after finishing behind Spain in their group.
The tournament will be played across 11 cities in 12 stadiums and the opening game takes place at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow between hosts Russia and Saudi Arabia on the June 14.
Editors' Picks
Stars forwards such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi for Portugal and Argentina respectively. Portugal will hope to emulate their heroics at Euro 2016, which they won against the odds, while Argentina will be desperate to go one better than their runner-up finish four years ago.
Other favourites include five-time champions Brazil and the 2014 winners Germany. Spain conquered the tournament eight years ago in South Africa, while France were unlucky not to triumph on home soil at the last European Championships and arguably have the most talented squad since the start of the millennium.
There are two World Cup finals debutants this summer, Iceland and Panama, with the former faced with overcoming tournament regulars Argentina, Croatia and Nigeria, and the latter hoping to cause a major upset in Group G with Belgium, England and Tunisia.
The final for this year's tournament will take place at the Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow on July 15, with the winner not only lifting the trophy but also qualifying for the 2021 Confederations Cup in Qatar.
Let us know who YOU think will win Russia 2018 in the above poll or, if you're backing a rank outsider, tell us in the comment section!

RINDELS, Jacob B. 1838-1923
Posted By: Tammy (email)
Date: 2/1/2015 at 12:35:19
Jacob B. Rindels, an old resident of northwest Grundy county, died at the home of his son, Reiner Rindels, Friday, May 25, aged 84 years, 6 months and 12 days, having been born Nov. 13, 1838, at Loquard, Ostfriesland, Germany.
Mr. Rindels was sick for about twelve days during his last illness, death following an attack of the flu, complicated by the weakness attendant upon old age.
The funeral was held last week Monday, a short service at the house being held by Rev. Brandau, of Dumont, and the services at the Wellsburg Reformed church, in charge of the pastor, Rev. Wm. Landsiedel, following. Burial was made in the Wellsburg cemetery.
Mr. Rindels came to America in 1891, with his wife and family, having been married in 1865. The family lived west of Holland for a year or two, then moved two miles south and a half mile east of Wellsburg, where they lived for about ten years. They then moved to Ackley, where Mrs. Rindels died in 1903.
Since her death Mr. Rindels has made his home with his children, at first one home or the other, but during the past fifteen years has been at the home of his son, Reiner, near Allison.
There are left to mourn his loss the five sons and one daughter. The daughter is Mrs. Ede Schoolman of Wellsburg, Reiner Rindels, near Allison and Hildebrant Rindels, southwest of Wellsburg. Besides these, Mr. Rindels left twenty-one grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.
The deceased was one of the first members of the Wellsburg Reformed church and was a man who held the respect and esteem of all who knew him.

HARARE – With the long-mooted court action by disaffected Zanu PF stalwarts now set to reach the bench as early as tomorrow, the likelihood of the ruling party splitting into two bitterly opposed camps is becoming more real.
The spokesperson for the aggrieved party pioneers, Rugare Gumbo, told the Daily News on Sunday yesterday that they were hopeful that their court challenge regarding the alleged illegality of the Zanu PF disputed damp squib âelectiveâ congress â that was held in Harare late last year â would begin tomorrow.
â…Yes, the court papers should be filed at the High Court on Monday.
âEverything thatâs needed to be done has been done and we are now ready. I canât say much more now because the court process will determine everything,â Gumbo said.
A well-placed source also confirmed the imminence of the court action, revealing further that âseveral top legal brains in the country have volunteered to work on the application, which is going to be one of the most bruising and intriguing legal battles ever fought in Zimbabwean courtsâ.
âThere are dozens of affidavits from bona fide Zanu PF members, party officials and others who were illegally kicked out by the illegal congress.
âThis court case will expose President Robert Mugabe and Zanu PF as tyrants who think they are above the law. It will be a very interesting case for the judges because the illegalities around that fake congress are so obvious and glaring, and there for all to see,â the source said.
Retired, but hugely respected party elder, Cephas Msipa, was among the first prominent party members to criticise Mugabe openly last year for failing to deal with Zanu PFâs often violent infighting and for refusing to take advice on the partyâs escalating factionalism.
In an interview with the Daily News on Sundayâs sister paper, the Daily News, that was carried in mid October last year, Msipa said pointedly that he feared for the worst for Zanu PF if intra-party relations remained as fractious as they were in the ruling party.
âIf people continue being dissatisfied with what is happening, it is possible to have a split. I think the president has the key to all these issues. I hate factionalism and if it continues I donât know what will become of the party,â he said ruefully.
Msipa also bluntly warned Mugabe that his failure to unmask and stop the partyâs real factionalists would result in the party imploding and splitting into several opposing camps.
He also attacked the party faction aligned to Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa for behaving as if it âownedâ Grace Mugabe â a development that he said was fuelling factionalism inside the party.
Among the disaffected party stalwarts are former Presidential Affairs minister Didymus Mutasa ,who has courted the ire of his erstwhile Zanu PF comrades by continuing to present himself as the ruling partyâs legitimate secretary for administration despite being âexpelledâ from the party last Wednesday.
In a no-holds-barred statement he signed last year, Mutasa called for the nullification of all âpurported constitutional amendments drafted and railroaded immediately before this so-called congressâ, as well as the restoration of the âelective dignity of congress and the one-man one-vote principle as enunciated by our armed struggle and constitutionâ.
Gumbo also told the Daily News on Friday that the purported expulsion of Mutasa and his voluble nephew Temba Mliswa from the former liberation movement had made the party stalwarts even more determined to fix the troubled ruling party.
âWe expected this to happen (the expulsion of Mliswa and Mutasa), but the most important thing is that this will not stop us from doing what we have always been doing to bring democracy to the party,â a defiant Gumbo said.
Gumboâs sentiments came in the wake of another scathing press statement released by Mutasa on Thursday in which he described his purported expulsion as ânull and void and a serious breach of our party constitution and indeed the Constitution of Zimbabweâ.
âOver and above this, this Disciplinary Committee (which allegedly looked into his case) is improperly constituted anyway given that, the (partyâs disputed December) congress and the First Secretary of the party unlawfully breached the party constitution by failing to elect the party national chairperson, who is the only one who can chair such a meeting,â he added.
Amid this ongoing acrimony, many Zanu PF members fear that Mugabe, who turned 91 yesterday, has abdicated his powers to his much younger wife, Grace, whose return from her two-month sojourn in the Far East a week ago marked the demise of not only Mutasa and Mliswa, but also former Masvingo State minister Kudakwashe Bhasikiti who was fired on Thursday night.
And with the ranks of disaffected party members swelling by the day, Gumbo said Mugabe and party hawks should brace themselves not only for their impending court challenge, but also for âother programmes aimed at restoring legitimacyâ to Zanu PF.
A relaxed Mutasa also added fuel to the fire raging within the warring Zanu PF when he also stated matter-of-factly on Thursday that Grace was now indisputably in charge of the ruling party and not her ailing nonagenarian husband.
Mutasa, for long a close confidante of Mugabe and a former Cabinet minister in charge of the countryâs spooks, said Grace was now unequivocally the âcentre of powerâ in the ruling party.
âYes. I expected it (his purported expulsion). They said so a long time ago. They were waiting for the first lady. Now she is back and they have shown where the centre of their power is.
âHowever, they did not specify which Zanu PF they expelled me from, the real one which puts people first, or the unlawful one to which they belong to.
âTo remove all doubt, it must be stated that I remain a member of the original lawful Zanu PF. I never belonged to the illegal Zanu PF which does not care about people. It cares about its leaders only,â the seemingly unflappable Mutasa said.
Confusion still abounds as to when Zanu PFâs disciplinary committee met to reach its decisions on Mutasa and Mliswa, amid conflicting reports from lickspittle State media â raising suspicion that the decision may have been arrived at long before Grace returned from the Far East.
Mutasaâs comments regarding Graceâs undue influence in Zanu PF came as social media speculation around the issue last week, amid snide comments to the effect that Mugabe had allegedly accompanied Grace to Wednesdayâs politburo meeting that ostensibly took the decision to expel Mutasa.
The frenetic online debates came after lickspittle State media showed images of Grace surprisingly sitting next to Mugabe in the politburo meeting, and not second vice president Phelekezela Mphoko, as would normally be demanded by protocol.
Mutasaâs comments also followed those made by former war veterans leader Jabulani Sibanda late last year, who was quoted saying, âI am not going to allow any coup both in the boardroom and in the bedroomâ at the height of the Grace-fronted anarchy that is still devouring Zanu PF.
So biting and resonant with ordinary Zimbabweans was that quote that it ultimately contributed to authorities dragging the popular war veteran to court where he is facing charges of insulting or undermining Mugabeâs authority. – Daily News

How to Choose Baby Gym Toys?
Kids spent a lot of time in their cradle or in the activity gym. Therefore, you should find some toys like water sound press, hanging balls, butterflies and more to keep your kid occupied. Besides being the 'fun elements', toys serve other purposes, too. For example, they can aid in cognitive development, give teething relief, and enhance gross motor skills. Here are some tips to choose the best gym toy.
- Don't buy hard or rough toys. Choose soft, cushy ones like stuffed animals with music function.
- Try avoiding regular plastic toys, use only BPA-free toys otherwise. Example: BPA-free teether ring or hanging balls.
- Also, don't buy multi-piece, small toys. Kids may swallow them accidentally.
- Ideal toys should be machine washable
- Get soother, snuggle toys, and teether with bright colors.

He may be a mere whippersnapper compared to radio's current golden girl duo of Beryl and Betty, but when DJ David Rodigan picked up a Sony Gold award on the same night last week as the Humberside grannies, it felt like deserved recognition for his near 35 years service bringing reggae music to audiences around the world. The 60-year-old, whose prize-winning Radio 2 show started again on Monday, said he was surprised to have snatched the award from 2011's winner Ronnie Wood. Fellow DJ Trevor Nelson, who presented the gong for best specialist music programme, said that if he had known he was giving it to Rodigan, he would have worn a tie, and described him as "the best black music presenter on British radio". "Coming from Trevor, that was an incredibly kind and generous comment. Race is not a big issue, but when I started out as a white man in a black man's world, there were a few people who questioned what I was doing. They thought I was getting on a bandwagon. But I just used to reply that all I was doing was loving their music."
Rodigan does cut an incongruous figure in the world of reggae – in his thick rimmed glasses he looks like the taller one out of the artists Gilbert and George – but it is exactly this air of the English gentleman enthusiast, that has probably made him such an effective crusader for reggae both in the UK and around the world, and a role model to DJs like Nelson and Tim Westwood. As a child growing up in the Oxfordshire village of Kidlington, Rodigan got hooked on the new Jamaican ska and rocksteady sounds like My Girl Lollipop listening to pirate radio under the sheets, "I was very fortunate to be a teenager in the Sixties. We had the Stones, the Beatles and in Jamaica it was the Wailers, the Skatalites and Prince Buster. I just completely fell in love with the music and started to collect it." Going off to study economics at the LSE, he never considered a career as a DJ. "I played at school discos but those days the DJ was the nerdy guy playing records in the corner of the room. It wasn't very cool." After realising working in an office was not for him, Rodigan switch his ambitions to an acting career, coveting a spot in the Royal Shakespeare Company. He didn't quite make it to Stratford but still worked steadily in repertory theatre across the country along with roles on TV, making a bit of extra cash in the evenings playing his extensive record collection at local events. "I remember playing Aerial in the Tempest at the Victoria Theatre in Stoke on Trent and then heading off to the West Indian club and sometimes I wouldn't have taken my make-up off properly. These Jamaican guys would stare at me and ask me what was on my face and why was I wearing make-up. You can imagine the fuss it caused."
His record playing turned professional in 1979 with a full-time live reggae show on London's Capital Radio and after a decade pursuing both acting and DJ careers, and with a wife and two young children to support, he had to choose between the two. Reggae won out and Rodigan you feel has channelled all his obvious passion for both performing and music into this role. He has won Sony awards before for his shows on the dance station Kiss but his debut as a Radio 2 presenter last year, in the mix of the likes of fellow seasoned enthusiasts like Bob Harris and Janice Long, feels like a perfect home for him. Drawing on John Peel's extensive archive of live sessions, covering everyone from Bob Marley to the Specials and UB40, Rodigan has plenty of Peel-like charm. Listening to his warm, dulcet tones and discursive story telling, mapping out the endless threads of his knowledge and passion, interspersed with vintage ska and modern reggae tunes, feels like a giant Caribbean sun shining out of the radio, burning late into the night. Rodigan says he was always inspired by DJs like Mike Raven who broadcast the first R&B show on Radio 1 in 1968, "He used to speak in this very precise and proper way, slightly over-enunciating every syllable and never missing consonants. I was absolutely enthralled by his voice. Some pirate radio DJs are so bombastic but they are forgetting they are not in a club, they are in people's homes."
Not that Rodigan is so polite when he plays live. With the nickname 'Ram Jam', Rodigan is an in-demand performer at club soundclashes where reggae DJs battle against each other, playing specially recorded versions of reggae hits that include their name. "At first I was incredibly shy on stage but I quickly realised that especially in Jamaica, you have to be able to talk to the audience or else they will start throwing things at you. I always loved to dance and I realised I had to something to say so I got more confident on stage."
So confidant that he plays constantly around the world and carried off the reggae World Clash Cup at Easter, adding to what is fast becoming Rodigan's golden year in which he was also awarded an MBE by the Queen. This recognition for services to music made him particularly proud, especially for the reaction it generated in Jamaica: "The response was phenomenal. Everyone was going crazy congratulating me." You sense that the esteem he is held in Jamaica as a tireless ambassador for their music brings him the greatest pleasure. He admits that young black people in the UK no longer have the same interest in reggae as previous generations: "Reggae for them is something from the past that their grandparents like. They don't have that connection historically or culturally with that West Indian experience anymore."
But he has seen reggae scenes flourish across Europe and through the current popularity of dub-step a new generation are discovering the pleasures of ska and reggae grooves, "It has been a virtuous circle. If I play at a student union and put on Desmond Dekker's You Can Get it if You Really Want, the whole place goes crazy." You can picture Rodigan a few decades down the line, the same age as Beryl and Betty, still playing his reggae records and still the most infectiously enthusiastic and charming gentleman rudeboy in town.
David Rodigan is on BBC Radio 2 on Mondays, 11pm.

BEN LUKAS BOYSEN: RESTIVE (OST) CD Hymen Records
Readers of this review may recognise Ben Lukas Boysen more from his alter ego, Hecq; Boysen has dipped his toe into other waters and here we have another venture into providing soundtracks for contemporary filmmakers.
'RESTIVE' is written and directed by American, Jeremiah Jones and centralises around a bizarre tale of a mother inhabiting her husbands suffocating behaviour, in effect a love story; I have to admit I have not seen the movie and it's not often I get to hear an official soundtrack before setting my eyes on the silver screen adaptation that it accompanies.
Setting that aside I often approach OST's with due caution, giving that the music often comes in short bursts and altogether does not actually comprise of actual tracks; not so in this case as it appears that Boysen has actually composed full numbers that can be listened to in their own right. This pleases me immensely.
This free reign given has let Ben flex his wings somewhat and the outcome is nothing short of impressive; haunting ambience frostily soars throughout, with brooding dark pockets of organically rich bass and piano filtered through windows covered in raindrops.
It's about time that music makers from this genre were given more opportunities to compose soundtracks like this; indeed there is more than enough that comes from IDM/alternative electronics genre and associated scenes to already blow away a lot of the usual marketed scores out there, maybe someone somewhere will one day sit up and take note.
On the flip side of the coin, I will most likely go and hunt this movie out now considering the wonderful array of compositions I have in front of me; well done Mr Boysen for another excellent display of your musical capabilities.

text: Hello everyone I'd like your views on a problem. I know that everyone on TP will give an honest opinion. I hold joint power of attorney with my siblings for my parent. Their view is that we rent parents house, and do deferred payment arrangement with the council to cover the substantial shortfall. My view is that we sell the house, invest the proceeds. Even at the low rates today, the interest income is more than the rental income, particularly since there is substantial work to be done to the house, to be paid for by my parent, to get it into a rentable condition, the work is not necessary if we sell. Long term, selling is best too. The dpa only covers 80% of the valuation of the house, so the funds run out quicker, plus there's interest charges and so on to add. And no guarantee of either house prices rising or tenants being available to rent. The quandary is - as an attorney the decision to be made is solely what is in the best interests of the donor. Which would clearly to be sell. Or am I just being too strict in my interpretation? Views gladly received. Thanks.
