NME - Unholy Death - LSR Records 1985
Unholy Death
NME - Tacoma Wa. USA
To my ears NME sound like the evil spawn of Venom and Slaughter...the Canadian death thrashers Slaughter, not that terrible 80's / 90's hair metal band.
I was snooping around the net trying to come up with a better description of NME'S music when I came across Oxenkiller's review of this record on Encyclopedia Metallum which I thought hit the nail on the head....so here you go...Dave G.
"A lot of people have compared this to Venom, and certainly those comparisons are valid. Both bands share a similar songwriting style and image. NME weren't really a speed or thrash band in the sense that, say, Bathory, Slayer and Possessed were. Rather, much like Venom and Hellhammer, they relied on a series of mid-paced, malevolent grinding riffs and allowed the overall heaviness, atmosphere and distortion to carry the sound. However, the guitar sounds on here are far darker and more corrosive and sinister than Venom ever were; its actually somewhat indescribable: eerie and heavy at the same time. The playing is none too complex, but there is more going on than just the simple riffs. The guitar has way more reverb and distortion on it than Venom or Hellhammer, and the guitarist deliberately channels the feedback to accentuate the playing. The overall effect is one of simplicity and power, getting the most power out of each single note, mimimalism at its best. And the production values are none too pretty either but that's the point, you just don't want them to be. The raw minimalist production actually suits this music perfectly; everything cranked up to ten. The whole thing is paradoxically beautiful in its very rawness and ugliness".

In which I tell you about how Mark blessed me for Mother's Day
One day next week, I get to:
... go on a breakfast date with my Isaac
... receive a 60-minute massage at a local spa (I KNOW!!!)
... go on a date with Ella, to a bookstore {which includes Starbucks drinks}
... come home to a prepared lunch
To top it all off, Mark arranged for me to go away, overnight, with just my sweet Audra.
All because he loves me. And he knows that one of the things I miss these days is a little quiet. So he has taken two days off work and is making it happen.
I admit, I feel a little funny about the whole: "Happy Mother's Day! Here's your gift to GET AWAY FROM ALL OF US!" idea.
But only when you put it that way.
The truth is, I am really looking forward to it. [Just me and Audra? My sweet little girl to snuggle up with, take walks with, read-a-book-while-she's-in-my-arms with? It sounds pretty blissful.] I plan to sleep, read, journal, eat well, and miss my husband. And come home all refreshed and happy to be back at it.

Stacy that night away does sound absolutely fantastic. You definitely shouldn't feel funny about getting away from being a mom to five, but simply rest to return rejuvenated. I know you deserve a break. What a great husband.ReplyDelete

I was thinking this Mother's Day felt so different from other Mother's Days for me. I used to (at your stage) just long for some time AWAY; a BREAK. This year all I wanted was to spend time with my kids; I was worried the day would go by and we wouldn't have much time together. My, how times have changed, having them a little older! :)
Thank you for commenting! I love hearing from you, and I will do
my best to reply back to you in the comment section.

This week's freight car – tank cars! At first glance, you'd think just about every tank car looks the same. There are actually many variations in tank cars – appropriate for the variety of loads they carry.
The first tank cars appeared in the late 1880s and 1890s. They were basically wooden vats placed on flatcars.
The first major revision to this design came with the substitution of a horizontal steel tank for the vats. A dome at the top of the tank provided a place to load the liquids, and also room for expansion of the load in transit. Flatcars gave way to smaller frames, and by the 1960s, the tanks themselves became the integral part of the structure.
Tank cars can be used to carry a plethora of products. Among the most common are oil and petroleum products, foodstuffs like corn syrup, and chemicals. Some of these fall into the hazardous materials category.
The tanks themselves are often customized for these loads. Some are hard to spot, like insulation and even heating coils used to help unload products like asphalt. These are placed inside an outer wall around the tank.
More visible are multiple-compartment tank cars, easily spotted by their multiple domes. Once used for shipping smaller quantities or even multiple products, these cars are far less common today as trucks have captured a large part of those markets. Fittings used for loading and unloading also vary greatly, providing interesting modeling opportunities for those who like to add extra details.
Paint is another common variation. Basic black is most common today. White is sometimes used for loads that need to be kept cooler in transit. It used to be quite common for shippers to paint their cars with bright colors and large logos. This practice largely disappeared in the 1980s but is making a come-back on many of today's ethanol and corn syrup tanks.
The vast majority of tank cars are owned by private leasing companies, not by the railroads. This is more efficient for the billing end of railroad operations. Railroad companies often own a few cars for their own use, such as transporting fuel to remote stations or for work trains.
Large or small, black or orange, tank cars represent an interesting and essential part of the freight car fleet.

This case is governed by McDonough v. Lowell, ante, 214. The final decree is reversed. A new final decree is to be entered declaring that each of the plaintiffs, while he remains employed by the city in a position subject to a remuneration plan referred to in St. 1951, c. 245, Section 1, and while the city remains subject to that section, is entitled to receive the salary payable to a civil engineer or inspector of his grade employed by the State department of public works.
So ordered.
This case began as a libel for divorce by the wife against the husband entered in September, 1952. The divorce was granted and the wife awarded alimony and custody of two minor daughters. Subsequently there have been many petitions for contempt and disputes over custody. The case was here in 1963 on an appeal of the husband. 345 Mass. 772 . It is now before us on the husband's appeal from a decree of contempt dated January 1, 1965. This decree was entered by a judge who, the docket shows, made an order disqualifying himself on October 19, 1961. We are not sure from the confused record whether other matters are intended to be the subject of present appeal. We are of opinion that this decree should be reversed, and that all pending matters should be heard anew by another judge from another county to be assigned by the chief judge of probate courts. Such hearing will include the petition for contempt and any questions of visitation.
So ordered.
The judge made a finding for the defendant seller in an action of contract brought by the plaintiff buyers to recover $500 deposited by the buyers under a purchase and sale agreement, made on May 26, 1962, which fixed June 28, 1962, as the date for delivery of the deed. The agreement provided for the refund of the deposit if (1) the buyers were unable to obtain a mortgage of at least $9,500, or (2) the premises, except for ordinary
Page 774
wear and tear, were not in the same condition on June 28, 1962, as they were on May 26, 1962, unless the seller by written notice elected to extend the time to restore the premises. The judge found, in part, that after the agreement the basement apartment had been damaged and partitions had been removed, and that by June 28, 1962, some repairs had been made, and some, but not all, partitions had been restored. The seller refused, upon demand, to refund the deposit. The Appellate Division was right in vacating the finding and ordering a finding for the buyers. Although the seller testified that he was ready and willing to convey, there was no showing that he manifested his readiness by a tender of the deed or by a notice under the agreement for an extension of time to complete repairs. Since the seller himself had not offered and was not excused from offering performance, he could not put the buyers in default. Leigh v. Rule, 331 Mass. 664 , 668.
Order of Appellate Division affirmed.

When we were visiting my cousins in Montana in July, the girls (me, Cuz and J) went shopping one afternoon. After we spent too much money at the local candy store, toy store and book store, I decided I wanted to get the kids cowboy hats. Cuz took us to a few places but I didn't see anything that a) wasn't less than $50 or b) wasn't made of cheap straw. The last place we looked Jaden found the perfect hat. Only it was $20 and made of plastic. She modeled it for me as a compromise. (See above picture)
See that juice bottle in her hand? While I was walking around looking at all the western themed trinkets and talking myself out of buying an adorably over-adorned belt for Jonas, Jaden was trying to blow into that bottle to make music. Well, she succeeded: "Mommy!! I was blowing into my bottle so hard that I farted!" then she ran to Cuz on the other side of the giant open area we were in and I hear, "Yeah, I heard you tell your mom."
She spent the rest of the time in the store trying to re-create the moment, but some moments are once-in-a-lifetime.

Greater competition and regulatory demands, as well as the need for more spending on technology, are making it increasingly difficult for advisers serving a limited number of retirement plans to continue in that business. Couple those trends with the ever-growing wave of advisers nearing retirement, and the result is a rising number of advisers who are deciding to shed the retirement-plan portion of their business.
As one leading registered investment adviser aggregator put it at the recent InvestmentNews Retirement Plan Advice Think Tank in New York, "If an adviser with just a few plans wants to compete for something other than table scraps, they'll need a team behind them."
For advisers considering selling their book of retirement-plan business or perhaps concentrating on the market more fully by affiliating with a specialist firm in that market, comments by participants in an RIA aggregator roundtable discussion at the Think Tank may be particularly helpful.
Attraction factors
Among the subjects discussed were the factors that make an adviser's retirement-plan business, as well as perhaps the adviser him- or herself, attractive as an acquisition or employee/partner.
The participants touched on six key themes that will help make small-book advisers more attractive to aggregators.
1. A willingness to stay and expand the business. For many RIA aggregators, an adviser looking to sell a small book of plan business and then exit is not appealing.
"We want to know what we can do with what you've built, how we can help you parlay that into something greater in years ahead," said J. Fielding Miller, chief executive of Captrust Financial Advisors, one of the nation's largest RIA aggregators. "We require you to commit to us for five years. It's not a blood contract, but it's a handshake that you're going to be around for a while."
In the same vein, aggregators find salesmanship the most attractive skill an adviser can have.
"Many retirement advisers are so technical, they find sales really difficult, and that's what we are really looking for," said Pam Popp, president of Lockton Retirement Services.
2. Having a team. Advisers with very small books of retirement-plan business — disparagingly referred to by many aggregators as "two-plan Tonys" — may be attractive to some acquirers, but more sizable businesses typically are preferred.
"Advisers join us [as independent contractors], so they keep their own brands and their own culture," said Vincent Morris, president of the financial services division of Bukaty Cos. "That means that if they are to do a full-service business, they need a six-, 10- or 15-person adviser team to have all the skills necessary to sell and service a retirement plan, which is why we have teams rather than individuals joining us."
3. Having a specialty. "Today, everyone pitching a $100 billion plan looks exactly the same," said Jim Owen, managing partner at Global Retirement Partners.
For that reason he likes to have a variety of specialists to deliver every aspect of what a client wants. Advisers looking to be acquired, therefore, may be considered more attractive if their practice is specialized and a potential acquirer finds that specialty necessary or complementary.
One particularly important specialty currently is financial wellness.
"The No. 1 hire right now is a wellness sales and implementation person who can grow that line of business," Mr. Owen said.
4. Having a complementary location. Because RIA aggregators are widely dispersed geographically, an adviser in an area where an aggregator is seeking to expand may be much more attractive than the same firm would be to an aggregator with a major presence already in that area.
"In addition to the cost of putting people in different parts of the country and the cost of travel, there's a huge cost in finding the right people in the right location who can be trusted to do the job," said Jeffrey Levy, managing partner at Cammack Retirement Group.
5. Thinking of yourself as a business, not a practice. Because many advisers still perceive themselves as running a book rather than operating a business, they often don't understand "what they have or what they are trying to sell," making valuation difficult, said Jamie Greenleaf, lead adviser and principal of Cafaro Greenleaf. She notes that advisers whose businesses are better-positioned for acquisition place themselves at a competitive advantage.
6. Being flexible regarding status and role. Advisers in business for themselves may have to adjust their way of thinking if they join an aggregator.
"Some people don't like to take their name off the door or hand the keys over to somebody else. Others can't handle the thought that maybe some of the people who work for them won't be needed. So there are a lot of emotional things to consider," Mr. Miller said. "We think that if you do it our way, you end up with a bigger pile. But that's the math argument; it's the emotional side of things that people get caught up with."

To see how hard working Ward Councillors go about their jobs, see Ward 6 councillor, Retief Odendaal's newsletter below. Scroll down to see the contact Details for Ward 6.
The cost of being a host city for next year's African Cup of Nations has risen from an estimated R34 million to "in excess of R43 million," according to a report submitted to the Sport, Recreation and Cultural Services Committee.
The R43 million is the figure provided by National Treasury and the National Department of Sport and
Recreation. The Metro is scheduled to host four national teams for the duration of the group stages and fivematch days – the last two games will be a double-header – and a quarter final and possibly a semi-final.
In a report to the Committee, Executive Director Zolile Siswana said that apart from assistance from national and provincial government, the only other source of revenue available to the Metro is from ticket sales where it will pocket 25% of the takings.
An average attendance of 25 000 would result in total income of between R2.4 and R4.5 million depending on the price of the tickets. In addition, it has been agreed that private sector sponsorships can be obtained, although there is still no clarity on how this will operate.
The report says that National Government has committed to providing public liability insurance and the training and supplying of kit for volunteers, while province has committed R15.4 million for the tournament. It was further noted that R7 million is already included in the 2012/13 budget for the completing of the upgrading of the Wolfson Stadium with the Metro having to find an additional R11.7 million – no provision has been made in the budget for the event.
With regard to the economic spin-offs, the report states that based on SA Tourism indicators, it is expected that the tournament will contribute R152 million to the Gross Domestic Product of the Metro, in addition to which approximately R30 million will flow to low income households. The entertainment industry, especially local artists, will receive R3 million.
The Democratic Alliance notes with concern the delay in presenting this progress report to Council. Given the level of public interest in the report and the amount of negative publicity that the municipality received as a result; more importantly, given the fiduciary duty of council to ensure that the findings of the Kabuso report are thoroughly investigated and interrogated, Council has no choice but to deal with the report in a comprehensive, decisive and transparent manner.
The Democratic Alliance is appalled at the lack of information presented in the report to Council at its meeting of 7 August 2012. Council remains the ultimate decision making body of the institution and cannot be expected to take informed decisions on matters of public importance without being provided with adequate and complete information in order to make decisions on this vitally important matter.
We also wish to highlight that glaring discrepancies have now occurred between the Council resolutions taken on this matter on the 8th of December 2011 and the recommendations in respect of the status report tabled at Council last week.
The simple truth is that council resolves on matters such as Kabuso, and the administration is compelled to implement the resolutions of council. The information presented in the scant report to council on 7 August 2012 not only goes against the resolutions taken by a majority of the members of council, it flies in the face of the institution of council, a body constitutionally bound to act at all times in the best interests of the metro and its residents.
It cannot be in any way acceptable for the residents of this metro to be expected to accept a blatant distortion of the will of council as expressed in the original resolutions taken by council.
Yet another grave concern that must be raised is the fact that after a year and a half the Metro still has not been able to adequately assess the revenue loss incurred by the Metro due to non-compliance of any of the companies named in the Kabuso report. Further, the Metro has still not concluded the investigation into possible misconduct of some of the institutions' staff members.
The question begs – why is this taking so long? Is the Metro genuinely committed and does it have the moral fortitude and will to properly deal with this report in the manner required by the council resolutions taken?
The Democratic Alliance demands that urgent action now be taken in properly finalizing all matters related to the Kabuso Report in a decisive manner and therefore proposes that the Acting Municipal Manager urgently arrange a formal briefing session to which all councillors be invited in order to discuss the proposals in the status report made to Council and that the council resolutions be instituted without further delay.
Failing this, the Democratic Alliance will be left with no option but to take the matter of the failure on the part of the metro to properly implement the council resolutions to the MEC for Local Government and Traditional Affairs as well as the office of the Public Protector.
This matter has been allowed to drag on for far too long with still no end in sight and the residents of this metro deserve better.
Letter to the Herald by Retief Odendaal, 16th of August 2012.
It has recently come to our attention that a number of informal shelters have been erected throughout Fairview.
Closer inspection revealed that these informal shelters have been erected by the security guards contracted by the Metro to protect the newly reinstated electrical infrastructure in Fairview.
Although one cannot expect these guards to be left out in the open with no protection against the elements, we simply cannot condone the erection of these types of shelters.
My office has requested the security company to provide their staff with suitable guard houses. The temporary shelters shall be broken down forthwith.
Arbor week will be celebrated from the 1st to the 7th of September. Please note that should you require a tree to be planted on your verge, the municipality will still do so free of charge.
A variety of trees are available from the Municipality and we encourage you to take part in this program in order to assist with the greening of our environment.
Application forms for said trees are available from the ward office.
Kindly note that the following processes need to be followed when logging complaints with the Service Delivery Call Centre (JOC).
There are two options to log a complaint:
- Phoning the Service Delivery Call Centre (0800 20 50 50)
- Emailing the Service Delivery Call Centre (firstname.lastname@example.com).
NB: When phoning please ask for the name of the person you are speaking to (the Call Centre
Agent) and insist on being given a reference number for your complaint.
The following information is needed:
- Problem/Issue/Complaint:
- Problem Address:
- Comment:
- Complainant (the name and surname of the person logging the complaint):
- Phone Number (very important, as the relevant NMBM Official needs this number to make contact with the complainant):
A reference number will be provided by the Service Delivery Call Centre, once the complaint has been logged on the EDAMS System.
Once the complaint has been logged and a reference number has been assigned to it, we at the Joint Operations Centre (JOC) send the details of the complaint to the relevant Sub-Directorate for Service Delivery. This is Stage 2 (Sent to station)
The relevant official in the Sub-Directorate is asked to contact the complainant to confirm the complaint and arrange for the complaint to be seen to. The JOC representative is to be informed of the arrangements made, in order to update the EDAMS System by placing the complaint in Stage 3 (Problem Found / Under Investigation)
Once the official has seen to the complaint and confirms that the complainant is happy, the official is to send a written (email) confirmation to the JOC representative. The complaint then can be closed off by moving the complaint to Stage 6 (Job completed / No Further Processing Required).
As of the 1st of July 2012 the Metro has implemented the Inclining Block Tariffs system as a means of charging domestic electricity users. Below is a table indicating the increases according to usage:
|Usage in kwh
|Value 2011/12
|Value 2012/13
|Monthly increase(R)
Environmental Health practitioners in the Public Health Directorate are currently being trained as Law
Enforcement Officers in order to allow them to issue spot fines to people who allow privately owned properties to become overgrown.
A report to the Public Health Committee stated that newly promulgated by-laws allow the issuing of a fine, and upon non-compliance, to have the matter referred to the Municipal Court that can then instruct the transgressor to comply within a set period of time.
The Directorate says that it believed one advantage of this will be that "non-cooperative" property owners will
now be forced to comply by the court.
Ratepayers will be advised on the new valuations on their properties in February next year, according to a report submitted to the Budget and Treasury Committee.
The tender for the next General Valuation was awarded in January to e-Valuations and the contract signed in March this year. The report says e-Valuation has now "moved on site" and started with the General Valuation.
The first phase, which will run until the end of September, involves the compilation of a market report and the conducting of sales reviews – the field review for non-residential sales is 70% complete and that for agricultural 85%.
Further, data collection of all non-residential properties is 50% complete and for single residential properties 33%. Verification of sectional title properties has also started.
The second phase will start in October and entails the submission of the Draft Valuation Roll; final calibration of Computer-Assisted Mass Appraisal models; value reviews and quality assurances. The Final Valuation Roll will be submitted on February 1.
As a result of the second wettest Winter on record, all five dams serving Nelson Mandela Bay are now full.
The municipality said on 16 July 2012 that the two largest dams, the Impofu and Kouga, were at 106% and 104% full respectively, while the Churchill Dam was at 110% of capacity, Loerie at 104% and Groendal 102%. Collectively the five dams serving the Metro hold 281 573 megalitres.
The average daily consumption to date in July has been 235 megalitres a day. The municipality refuted the rumour circulating that the Kouga floodgates were being opened as false, with the Department of Water Affairs adding that the peak flow had passed over the dam spillway and "no further action is required".
The Municipal Public Accounts Committee (MPAC) has recommended a number of steps to curb irregular expenditure, including "better quality control" of the "irregular expenditure lists" sent to the Acting Municipal Manager.
The committee also wants "better and more thorough planning" by directorates with regard to the acquisition of goods and services and for the Supply Chain Management Contracts Section to review tenders timeously. In a report to the sub-committee, the Office of Acting Chief Financial Officer Selwyn Thys says an analysis of irregular expenditure reports sent to the Acting Municipal Manager has shown that the most common causes of this are:
- Failure to obtain a Supply Chain Management order prior to ordering goods from a supplier
- Obtaining a replacement order for goods/services supplied under a previous valid order, and
- Suppliers who backdate their invoices in order to receive early payment, which in some cases is before the order date, resulting in irregular expenditure if not identified by the directorate.
The report said the first category was the most common and "results from a lack of planning by officials". The report notes that the acquisition categories R101 to R200 000 are where most incidences of irregular expenditure takes place, as above that figure a competitive tendering process is required.
In addition to the recommendations of the committee, Acting Municipal Manager Themba Hani plans to submit a report to the next MPAC meeting evaluating "the general culture and behavior in respect of Supply Chain Management matters".
This report, Hani stresses, will include law-based recommendations which would be brought to the attention of key members of the municipality "in order to assist in establishing a better and more ethical service delivery
oriented culture".
My office has recently received a number of complaints regarding various fines issued by the Metro in respect of the by-law relating to the prevention of public nuisances arising from the keeping of animals. This interesting by-law which was promulgated on the 24th of March 2010, serves to regulate and control the keeping of pets and animals in order to prevent same from constituting a nuisance to close by residents. The by-law defines pet as "a tame animal which is kept in a household".
In terms of the provisions of the by-law no person in the metro is allowed to keep more than 2 dogs or 2 cats without first obtaining the necessary consent from the metro. We very often see residents contravening this section which later lead to a lot of heartache when Metro Officials have to act and impound beloved animals and issue hefty fines. A few months ago my office acted on a complaint and found that one resident kept 16 cats! The neighbours ran a playschool and inevitably the cats became a huge health risk to the children.
The by-law specifically states that "no person may keep any dog which interferes with the comfort, peace or quiet of neighbours by barking, yelping, howling or whining." Continuously barking dogs have been the kiss of death for many a good neighbour relationship. The rule of thumb is that if your pet effects the use and enjoyment that another person have over his or her property, such animal constitute a nuisance. This said neighbours should also not be unreasonable when lodging complaints with the Metro regarding barking dogs. Always first approach your neighbours and endeavor to resolve such problems amicably before reverting to more serious action.
Another section of the by-law worth noting is the fact that no person is allowed to keep any animal other than pets without the written permission from the municipality. Any person who applies for a permit to keep a wild animal must, when submitting such an application to Municipality, also furnish the Municipality with a captivity permit issued by the Department of Economic Affairs, Environment and Tourism. In order to consider such an application the municipality may request the input or comments of the owners or occupants of surrounding
Please do remember that municipal officials are authorized to inspect any premises in order to determine whether owners comply with said bylaw, provided that a private dwelling may not be entered for routine inspection purposes. Should you require a copy of this by-law please do not hesitate to contact the Ward 6 office at 041 367 1670.
- Just a reminder that the next Newton Park crime forum meeting will be held on the 5th of September at 18h30 at Elizabeth Place.
- The frequent power outages in the Mangold Park area will hopefully be a thing of the past as the supply cable has been replaced with a new one.

President Donald Trump, the man who was born with a silver spoon, has a message for federal workers struggling without pay.
"President Donald Trump said he 'can relate' to federal workers who cannot pay their bills because of the partial government shutdown.
Trump was asked by a reporter on Sunday if he could understand what federal workers who cannot pay their bills are going through. The shutdown has led to about 800,000 workers being furloughed or expected to work without pay.
'I can relate, and I'm sure that the people that are on the receiving end will make adjustments, they always do, and they'll make adjustments,' Trump said. 'People understand exactly what's going on. But many of those people that won't be receiving a paycheck, many of those people agree 100 percent with what I'm doing.'
On Friday, the President said that he was willing to allow the shutdown to last 'months or even years" if funding is not allotted for a border wall.'"

media & the courts
. . . consider the raft of instances lately in which judges or prosecutors have decided to step into newsrooms in one manner or another in pursuit of notes, interviews, videotapes or telephone conversations, or have attempted to prevent publication or broadcast of information to readers and viewers.
According to Associated Press reports, in just the past few weeks:In Missouri, a state judge ordered two newspapers not to publish material they had received about public utilities and air pollution, but the order was lifted after a state appeals court stepped in.Clearly, this is more than a tempest in an inkpot. Somewhere, somehow, for some reason a long-standing ethic that the news media are not just another investigative tool for police, nor subject to "editors of the court," has broken down.
In California, federal officials investigating steroid use by famous athletes discontinued efforts to force two San Francisco reporters to disclose their sources, after a lawyer pleaded guilty to being the source. But a freelance videographer, Joshua Wolf, remains in jail in San Francisco for refusing to turn over to a grand jury his videotape of a protest event.
In Kansas, a newspaper and television station were ordered to turn over reporters' notes taken during interviews with a man who faces a capital murder charge in the death of a 14-year-old girl.
In Tennessee, a federal judge is considering whether to enforce a 1974 agreement that would close arrest information to reporters unless and until there's a conviction based on the arrest.
In Florida, a state judge reversed his original order that Orlando's WKMG-TV could not air investigative reports about a political consultant based on 84 boxes of documents it obtained at an auction.
In Massachusetts, a judge ruled that the news media could not reproduce the particularly graphic photos and videos from a murder trial that ended last year.
In Texas, a state judge resisted a request by prosecutors for an order telling Houston's KPRC-TV to turn over unaired footage of some interviews. An assistant district attorney had told the court the prosecution subpoenaed the video to help with investigations and possibly trial preparations.

Richa's writing in English has engaged a range of topics and themes pertaining to postcolonial development; feminist epistemologies; grassroots social movements; and migration, diaspora, place and identity. She has co/authored or co/edited four books and over a hundred essays and articles in English in scholarly journals as well as in activist fora. Her writing blends genres and styles in order to trouble the traditionally invoked boundaries among theory, storytelling, poetry, and journalism. This, for Richa, has been an important mode of engaging critics and interlocuters from a variety of locations and to enact responsibility in the multiple worlds and struggles which enable her work.

Essential Calculus: Early Transcendentals 2nd Edition
Book Preface
This book is a response to those instructors who feel that calculus textbooks are too big. In writing the book I asked myself: What is essential for a three-semester calculus course for scientists and engineers?
The book is about two-thirds the size of my other calculus books (Calculus, Seventh Edition and Calculus, Early Transcendentals, Seventh Edition) and yet it contains almost all of the same topics. I have achieved relative brevity mainly by condensing the exposition and by putting some of the features on the website www.stewartcalculus. com. Here, in more detail are some of the ways I have reduced the bulk:
■ I have organized topics in an efficient way and rewritten some sections with briefer exposition.
■ The design saves space. In particular, chapter opening spreads and photographs have been eliminated.
■ The number of examples is slightly reduced. Additional examples are provided online.
■ The number of exercises is somewhat reduced, though most instructors will find that there are plenty. In addition, instructors have access to the archived problems on the website.
■ Although I think projects can be a very valuable experience for students, I have removed them from the book and placed them on the website.
■ A discussion of the principles of problem solving and a collection of challenging problems for each chapter have been moved to the website. Despite the reduced size of the book, there is still a modern flavor: Conceptual understanding and technology are not neglected, though they are not as prominent as in my other books.
I have written several other calculus textbooks that might be preferable for some instructors. Most of them also come in single variable and multivariable versions.
■ Essential Calculus, Second Edition, is similar to the present textbook except that the logarithm is defined as an integral and so the exponential, logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric functions are covered later than in the present book.
■ Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Seventh Edition, has more complete coverage of calculus than the present book, with somewhat more examples and exercises.
■ Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Seventh Edition, Hybrid Version, is similar to Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Seventh Edition, in content and coverage except that all of the end-of-section exercises are available only in Enhanced WebAssign. The printed text includes all end-of-chapter review material.
■ Calculus, Seventh Edition, is similar to Calculus: Early Transcendentals, Seventh Edition, except that the exponential, logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric functions are covered in the second semester. It is also available in a Hybrid Version.
■ Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, Fourth Edition, emphasizes conceptual understanding. The coverage of topics is not encyclopedic and the material on transcendental functions and on parametric equations is woven throughout the book instead of being treated in separate chapters. It is also available in a Hybrid Version.
■ Calculus: Early Vectors introduces vectors and vector functions in the first semester and integrates them throughout the book. It is suitable for students taking Engineering and Physics courses concurrently with calculus.
■ Brief Applied Calculus is intended for students in business, the social sciences, and the life sciences. It is also available in a Hybrid Version.

Yesterday and today few hundreds of thrushes were migrating and feeding on the field in front of the Ribachinskaya trap. We caught 52 of them for these two days: 26 Red-throated (Turdus ruficollis), 19 Naumann's (Turdus naumanni), 5 Dusky (Turdus eunomus) and by one Black-throated (Turdus atrogularis) and Song Thrush (Turdus philomelos) .
And of cause, as every year, problems occurred with distinguishing sex, age and even sometimes species (in Dusky – Naumann's and Red-throated – Black-throated). So we have a question to our colleagues from Finland who spent many time last year at our station looking at thrushes: Jari, what did you finally find out???
Together with thrushes Sparrowhawks (Accipiter nisus) migrating because it is so nice for them to have food storage flying by itself. Two females were ringed today.
Dusky Thrush, adult
Naumann's Thrush, male, subadult
Red-throated Thrush, male, subadult

IPE Conference: Experts call for technological innovation in pensions
Pension funds should explore how new technologies could improve pension provisions, panellists at IPE's conference in Dublin argued.
Speaking to an audience of European pension funds in the Irish capital last week, Don van der Steeg, manager for strategy and innovation at PwC, said: "Whatever you do, start exploring now. If you haven't done it already, you're a laggard as is."
Van der Steeg cited PwC research showing that 64% of company CEOs acknowledged that changes in the technology used to run their businesses would be disruptive over the next five years.
Van der Steeg also noted that more than half of companies interviewed by PwC were carrying out research and development (R&D) to test the use of blockchain, while 15% of companies already used blockchain. The technology was mostly used in supply chain management, added Van der Steeg.
Fellow panellist Marnix Broekhoff, business information analyst for blockchain at APG, the Netherland's largest pension provider, told the audience how the organisation was testing a blockchain-based "pension infrastructure".
The project, which is being developed in tandem with fellow pension giant PGGM, consists of building a data ecosystem based on blockchain, where pension funds and other organisations can create and share data on pension fund beneficiaries.
Credit: Patrick Frost
"The first experiments have been successful," said Broekhoff. "We were able to share data between pension providers, employers and the government. We are now trying to build a platform for the whole pension sector. The data will not be simply copied and stored, it will be shared within the blockchain and the owner of the data will remain the owner.
"That is, we believe, the way to lower costs for the pension system and to create more value for the participants. Blockchain is here to stay."
However, fellow panellist Christopher Sier, fintech envoy for the UK's treasury department and chairman of ClearGlass, a fintech company, asked whether similar objectives could be achieved by using a traditional central 'golden record' database.
Sier said: "You can do things another way. Distributed ledgers and blockchain are not the same thing. But the answer lies in the security issue – distributed ledgers with blockchain are far more secure and efficient."
He added: "The cases for blockchain are often quite complicated to iterate. The best thing is experimenting and testing hypotheses, because it helps find out whether or not in fact distributed ledgers are the answer to that problem."
Other innovations
Sier emphasised that blockchain was only one of many innovative applications of new technology to the pensions and financial services industries.
"Innovation can come from anywhere, and it can do anything," he said. "It doesn't necessarily have to use artificial intelligence, distributed ledgers or blockchain. You just have to think what the outcome for the consumer wil be and make it better."
Sier cited several examples of how new technology was changing the financial industry.
In Estonia, he said, a blockchain-based digital national identity system provided the basis for the creation of a liquid secondary market market for unlisted equity investments.
Latching on to the government's digital national ID system, a company called Funderbeam built a system providing "full liquidity, price discovery, settlement and share registration for no incremental cost", said Sier. "It's the dream of securities markets to be able to clear, settle and re-register for no incremental cost immediately."
The financial industry could greatly benefit from the use of augmented and virtual reality and other visualisation tools, added Sier. He said: "There are significant benefits to using those kind of tools in helping people understand complex financial products."
According to PwC, the eight technologies that would change the world – including pensions – over the next five years were artificial intelligence, augmented reality, blockchain, drones, the 'internet of things', robotics, virtual reality and 3D printing.

A brief note about serigraph
are made by a great variety of processes, the 4 main categories
a) Relief Methods: woodcut, wood-engraving and linocut.
b) Intaglio Methods: line engraving, drypoint, etching, soft-ground
etching and aquatint.
c) Surface or Planographic Methods: lithography and it's variants.
d)Stencil Methods: serigraph (silk-screen print).
Click here to see Yolene's serigraphs.
Serigraph is a modern development of stencil printing. The process
was developed in the 1930's as an artist medium for making prints
in broad masses of brilliant and opaque colors. It is an expensive
and labor intensive process of layering colors to accurately reproduce
an original artwork. A cut stencil is attached to a silk screen
of fine mesh which has been streched on a wooden frame, and the
color is forced trough the unmasked area of the screen on to the
paper beneath by means of a squeegee.
Since the mid 19th century it has become the custom for most artists
to issue their prints, whether etchings, woodcuts, lithographs or
serigraphs, in restricted editions, with each copy signed and numbered;
the number is written like a fraction, e.g. '8/300' indicating the
eighth print of an edition of 300 copies (not necessarily in the
order they are made). The plate is destroyed after the edition has
been printed in order to reinforce the rarity value and to prevent
unauthorized prints of inferior quality being taken subsequently.
A proof is an impression taken by an engraver from his plate or
block in order to see how his work is proceeding and decide what
corrections or additions to make. The term "artist's proof"
(or "AP"), often written in pencil alongside the artist's
signature on the printed sheet, should mean a proof taken by the
artist, outside the numbered edition referred to above and reserved
for his/her own reference. It amounts usually to about 10% of the

From what I saw on her blog, she likes to take stock of her life every few months and stop to examine what she is doing with it. I think a few more people need to do this. It is very very easy to just float through life and then a decade has gone by and you haven't done anything but collect new wrinkles. Living our lives intentionally should be more of a priority.
Denyse listed out what she was making, cooking, drinking, reading, wanting, looking, playing, wasting, sewing, wishing, enjoying, waiting, liking, wondering, loving, hoping, marveling, needing, smelling, wearing, following, noticing, knowing, thinking, feeling, bookmarking, opening and laughing. I'll follow her lead.
Lots and lots of great memories. A few years ago I took this saying to heart. Experiences are more valuable than possessions. It totally changed my life. It's why I travel all the time and now live on the beach in Vietnam. I love my new life.
Absolutely nothing. We haven't had a decent kitchen since we left the States and I haven't figured out yet how to cook when there is no room to do anything. Plus, eating out is so cheap, I'm happy to run down to the corner and spare myself the stress of my kitchen.
|It's so tiny!
I have a bottle of Mountain Dew next to my computer right now. Another reason I love this country. I lived in China for almost two years and only had one the whole time I was there. I almost died.
I just finished reading Christine by Stephen King. Other than that, for the last several months I have exclusively read books by Carlton Mellick III. He writes bizarro fiction. Strange stuff.
My new apartment. We rented this place as soon as we hit town because it was cheap, but we knew it would be temporary. We signed a three-month lease figuring that would give us enough time to get jobs, decide how much we could afford and discover what part of town we wanted to live in. I really need an office space. This little corner doesn't cut it.
At our beautiful surroundings every day. Vietnam is a gorgeous country with natural wonders all around us.
Every day. Since I only work about 19 hours a week, I have a lot of free time. It is used wandering the neighborhood, getting to know our neighbors, discovering new foods, strolling the beach, sightseeing and whatever else I feel like doing.
A lot of time exploring my new surroundings rather than writing the book I desperately want to write.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sewing?!? Um…no.
I'm wishing that the new apartment we find will be close to what we actually want it to be and we don't just have to settle for the best we can find. We really want to have some extra space this time. We've been cramped in tiny places for too long.
Our new relaxed life. It has so little stress. I love having all the free time. I feel like I am already retired.
I'm waiting for someone to come visit us. I know we live clear on the other side of the world, so I can't blame anyone for not coming here. However, my wife's sister is coming to see us in December and my mother will be coming in the spring of 2020. That's two visitors in 18 months! I am so excited!
The food of Vietnam. We spent two years in China and I was surprised that I did not like the food as much as I expected to. There was plenty of good food, but not what I was expecting. However, here, I am having a great time trying all the new stuff. Vietnamese food is awesome.
When and if we will ever move back to the States. At this point, we really have no idea what the future holds for us. There are things I miss about my home country, but I can't wrap my mind around going back and paying the hugely inflated prices for everything when stuff is so cheap everywhere else.
The friendliness of the people here. This was not something we experienced in China. They weren't rude there, but they definitely did not seem happy. And they certainly didn't go out of their way to make us feel welcome. Here we are constantly greeted by people on the street and people everywhere are smiling.
I will be ready to publish my book by the end of the year. I'm going to have to get busy on it, but that is my goal. I need to do more than hope.
Still marveling at the quality of the weather and air here. I think I just got used to the dreary and smoggy days of Beijing. Here, I can see for miles from my terrace. I've always been fascinated by mountain views and they are all around us.
I teach English online and need more items for my classroom. My background is lacking and I could use more props, but until I get that first paycheck, I'm just not going to spend the money.
The streets of Da Nang are filled with the smells of food wafting away from the countless restaurants and food carts that are everywhere. I love the smells here.
Shorts every day. I haven't worn pants in over a month. Even when I work. I work in front of my computer and my students can't see my legs. It's very comfortable.
Actually not following. The political fighting on social media has grown very tiring for me. Especially now that I am seeing it from the outside. Every political conversation I have is with people from other parts of the world. It has really broadened my perspective. I've decided to stop trying to keep up with American politics. This is not an anti-American statement by any means. It's just that the talking points change so rapidly, why do I need to stay on top of it when most of it has zero effect on me anyway?
I'm noticing that so many of the things I valued over the course of my life are of little importance. Moving from country to country has really forced me to re-evaluate everything. Mostly the futility of material things.
Very little. This is new to me. I have always prided myself on being the 'smart one'. It's been part of my identity for most of my life. I do have an uncanny skill of maintaining information in my head. The stuff I read stays in there. I'm the guy people always turn to with questions about stuff. I just know things and don't always even know why I have that knowledge. However, I am beginning to realize that I really don't know anything about anything. I'm not trying to be deep and meaningful. It is just very humbling to be dropped into another culture and realize that you have no idea how anything here works. You may be intimately familiar with your little personal bubble you've built for yourself, but that is not even the tiniest fraction of the world.
I just may have found the part of the world I could happily stay in for the rest of my life. After a year or two, we may get more serious about exploring this possibility.
Very confident about our decision to move here. There has never been a moment where I felt we may have made a mistake.
This is not exactly bookmarking, but I have been making lists of the books I want to read next. Some for pleasure, but many are chosen because they are in the genre of the book I am writing, I read these to further familiarize myself with the genre.
Opening our minds to new possibilities all the time. So many of the wonderful things that have happened to us have been because we were willing to attempt something we really didn't understand.
Every day. We have made so many friends in the short time we have been here and all enjoy each other's company and laughing together.
Whew! That was a long list and it was fun. It really made me think about my life.
Thank you Denyse Whelan Blogs.
