End of World War I.
My grandfather was still alive, still handsome and a war hero bedecked with medals and ribbons.
He resumed his acting career. Silent movies, of course.
In 1919, he met my grandmother whose sisters were also actresses. They got married after a whirlwind wooing and one year later, their first child was born. A son, my father.
There will be two other children, two girls. But I'll talk later about his family life.
In 1924, he was offered the leading (male) part in a movie called 'Salammbô'. The première took place in 1925 at the Opéra Garnier, in Paris.
|(Grand-Père top left, just in case)
Why a silent movie at the Opéra?
Music played a great part in silent movies. The score of 'Salammbô' was written by Florent Schmitt, a very talented French classical composer, hence the Opéra Garnier.
The score was very beautiful. But the movie will disappear after its fifth performance. Too bad. You couldn't win them all, Grand-Père.
But wait! In the 1990s, someone rediscovered the movie by accident. Should I say: 'by chance'. Long story made short. The movie came to life again with its score - a two hours long symphony requiring 90 musicians and 80 singers in the chorus. First in Avignon and then back to Paris in October 1991, at the Palais Garnier... 66 years almost to the day after its opening there.
We were lucky to get tickets (believe me, Rolla Norman did not open the doors of Garnier... Poor Mathô). Our son was almost 12 at the time and I thought it would be quite an experience for him to see his great-grandfather on screen. (Good excuse too because I had never seen my grandfather on screen either.)
The Opéra Garnier was beautiful, impressive as ever. The score was very interesting too, a true symphony. After all, Florent Schmitt has been compared to Richard Strauss...
The movie was so kitsch I felt like crying... It was utterly ridiculous. Not dated. Simply ridiculous. As ridiculous in 1991 as it had been in 1925. Hence its sinking into oblivion so easily.
My grandfather was gorgeous. Handsome. Dashing. Young. Much younger than me actually. Which is a strange experience! Swee'Pea was gaping at his great-grandfather except that we could see that he had a hard time grasping Mathô really was his great-grandfather. That they were sharing some genes.
Nowadays he claims he does not remember this experience at all. I understand... Who would want to be descended from a very kitsch and silent Mathô after all?
Well, me. Because Mathô looked and was a hundred times better than the Grand-Père I knew because he was... well, you'll see. I'm not talking about age there.
So back to real-life Grand-Père.
The talkies were born in the States at last. Grand-Père being used to the stage survived this radical transformation.
Circa 1930, he went to Hollywood.
When he came back, he went back to the stage, usually in great plays. Maybe this is what he was missing in Hollywood. I'm not sure he was missing his family.
He gave me this picture of him in one of my favorite plays. When you were famous, you got your own postcards made and sold whenever the movie or the play was popular. Nicer than downloads from the web! More real, I guess.
He added a note at the back just in case I'd forget who he was. Or this may have been a message to my posterity. It's hard to read but on the picture, he wrote an autograph exactly as if I had been a fan, not his granddaughter, I mean!
I've read that besides being on stage, he was making from two to four films every year. I know he was quite famous because I've seen some of my parents' friends literally swoon when learning we were his grandchildren.
I guess this is when I truly understood that 'all that glitters is not gold.'
Rising to fame doesn't make you a better human being. This is not a universal law, of course. But it was quite true about my grandfather.
Of course, I was born a couple of years before he left the stage (willingly or not). He died when I was in my early twenties. I remember him as a very angry and bitter man. He was very arrogant and humiliating with his family. Had he always been like this, I don't know. I've heard stories that tend to prove that it really was in his nature. Too bad.
The end of the thirties is coming and with it, the beginning of a new war, bloodier and more horrendous than the last one.
Grand-Père loved wars. (Hopefully, it's just a figure of speech.) But give him a war and there comes our hero, a little bit older but so dashing again!
*Good Luck, and Good Night*

It is September and we have begun a new Church Year, a time we can hope of New Beginnings. Over the last year our Circuit has had a lot to deal with and our Ministers and Circuit Stewards and other members of the leadership team have had much more to deal with than normal.
At the beginning of this new year we must look at it as New Beginnings
O God, in Mystery and silence you are present in our lives, bringing new life out of destruction, hope out of destruction and growth out of difficulty.
We thank you that you do not leave us alone, but are working with us to bring new things to birth. Help us to perceive your hand in the unfolding of our lives, to know the dignity of acceptance within your family and to work to make all human life full of purpose and joy. Amen
Kathleen Richardson(President of Conference 1992-93)
Lord, we come to you in adoration for all that you have done for us over our lives. We pray Lord for a new beginning to help us to bring our churches into the 21st Century which will encompass everyone.
We pray for all of our Churches and all who work lovingly to bring your message to all those around them. We pray that we can all have open minds and hearts for your love and the ability to spread that love throughout the world. Amen

Including the long-awaited addition of Android Auto!
Even though the Tacoma is far from the newest truck in the mid-size segment, Toyota isn't just going to throw in the towel to newcomers like the Ford Ranger and Jeep Gladiator. The Tacoma has been the best-selling mid-size pickup truck for the past 14 years and Toyota hasn't been scared off by a few new entrants to the segment.
Last week, Toyota teased a facelift for the 2020 Tacoma and the updated truck has now arrived at the 2019 Chicago Auto Show with a slew of new upgrades. The Japanese automaker is so proud of its upgrades for the 2020 model year, it has told the competition to "Bring It."
All 2020 Tacoma models receive a new grille design and updated wheels (depending on the specific grade). Toyota will offer more than 30 configurations in six model grades including SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Limited. All SR5 and above grades will benefit from a new 10-way power-adjustable driver seat with power lumbar support and a new eight-inch touchscreen display (the SR receives a seven-inch screen) with Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa, and... Android Auto!
Yep, you read that correctly, the Tacoma (along with the 4Runner, Sequoia, and Tundra) will be the first Toyota models to receive Android Auto. Toyota says it is working to add this capability to other models (including Lexus vehicles) but does not have a specific time table at this moment.
Toyota has also added a new (optional) LED bed lamp which is brighter and consumes less energy.
In addition to the changes found on all 2020 Tacoma models, each individual grade will receive its own unique upgrades. The base SR trim, for example, receives intermittent wipers, darker taillight housings, and the optional LED bed light. The higher SR5 trim adds 16-inch dark satin wheels, even darker taillight housings, and new fabric design on the seats. Stepping up to the TRD Sport adds 17-inch wheels, smart key, chrome taillight inserts, LED fog lamps, and an available Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) with cameras positioned around the truck to make off-roading even easier.
TRD Off-road models also benefit from TRD-tuned Bilstein shocks, a locking rear differential, Hill Assist Control, Multi-Terrain Select, and Crawls Control. There is also an available Multi-Terrain Monitor (MTM), which allows the driver to pick from different camera views while off-roading.
The Tacoma Limited is the most luxurious of the grades with 18-inch wheels, standard LED headlights, smart key, and standard MTM. All Tacoma grades come with Toyota Safety Sense P as standard, which includes pre-collision with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert, auto high beams, and adaptive cruise control.
The Tacoma TRD Pro is the most off-road capable grade and arrives alongside updated TRD Pro versions of the 4Runner, Tundra, and a new entrant, the Sequoia. Toyota is offering an exclusive color called Army Green on the 2020 Tacoma TRD Pro along with Super White, Midnight Black Metallic, and Magnetic Grey Metallic. Opting for the TRD Pro also adds trail assistance to the MTM, which can look at the terrain under the vehicle. New for 2020 is a lighter 16-inch wheel, updating tuning of the Fox bypass shocks, and Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Kevlar-reinforced tires.
Toyota will offer two powertrains, which are pretty much unchanged from the 2019 model. A 2.7 four-cylinder delivers 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque while a 3.5-liter V6 produces 278 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque. Both are mated to a six-speed automatic while the V6 can also be paired with a six-speed manual.
Expect to see the 2020 Tacoma arrive in dealerships summer 2019.

I was curious as to Professor Friedman's opinion on what are the most pressing issues facing women in Rhode Island.
Our conversation addressed a multitude of issues that RI NOW are focused on, from reproductive rights to gender-based economic and educational disparities, to transgender rights and protections.

TOWSON, Md. (Feb. 20, 2016) – The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy women's basketball team lost on the road in a Landmark Conference matchup to host Goucher, 75-54, on Saturday at the Gophers' Decker Sports & Rec. Center. The loss brings the Mariners to 9-15 (2-13 Landmark), while Goucher improves to 9-16 (4-12 Landmark).
Sophomore Tichina Carmon (Greenville, N.C.) led Merchant Marine with 10 points and four rebounds, while junior Allie Drake (Centereach, N.Y.) added eight points and six boards off the bench. Sophomore Jenna Wetherington (Cocoa Beach, Fla.) contributed eight points and classmate Samantha Drake (Centereach, N.Y.) and junior Rachel Wehlburg (Herndon, Va.) contributed six points each as well.
The Gophers opened up the game to a 15-9 advantage after the first quarter. The second quarter is when the hosts started to pull away. Goucher went up by 22 to end the half (39-17) thanks to their 51.6-percent shooting from the field (16-for-31).
In the third quarter, the Gophers went up by as many as 25 points. Even though Goucher shot 60-percent in the third, the Mariners were able to keep the deficit from getting much larger by shooting a perfect 14-for-14 from the charity strip. After the third USMMA was down 25 points, 60-35. Merchant Marine brought the deficit down to just 19 points late in the fourth quarter, but that was the closest the visitors would get.
For Goucher, senior Amaka Ezeani led all players on the afternoon with 22 points, while classmate India Perkins contributed eight points. Both Ezeani and Perkins finished with a game-high 11 rebounds apiece.
Merchant Marine returns to the court tomorrow, Feb. 20, when the Mariners square off against Landmark rival Catholic in the 2015-16 season finale. Tip is set for 4 p.m. at the Cardinals' DuFour Center. Live stats and a live video feed of the game will be available by clicking those links.

Happy Birthday Taurus! This month the Sun moves into the stubborn and determined sign of Taurus the Bull, the second sign of the zodiac ruled by the planet Venus, responsible for our ability to love, indulge and connect. It is an earthy sign, whose hooves are heavy and dug deeply into the ground, but if you have a closer look at them you might see that those hooves are perfectly polished in pink! Think about the Tauruses in your life. They love to graze and indulge in all life's sensory pleasures without interference. If you do interrupt their routine or dare I say it, try to change something, it's like putting a red cape in front of a bull… better be prepared to get out of the way! They are slow to change and just as slow at forgiveness. Anyone who has ever been tangled with an unhappy Taurus knows what I'm talking about. My advice is to focus on the creature comforts around you this month and avoid all the red capes you can! I promised in my last post that there was some crazy stuff coming in the weeks ahead, and I wasn't kidding. Here goes!
With Mercury finally moving direct after a VERY stressful retrograde phase (I'm speaking from experience on this one) I, like many of my friends and clients experienced the intensity of the Arian rage and confusion and am quite happy to say goodbye to it all for now. If you made any decisions or signed any contracts during the retrograde period, you may find those being reversed or changed now, but things will settle down once we get past the first week of May. If you did swipe right and now wonder if it's just all wrong, it might be time to say goodbye. You gave it a try and there's better energy for love coming at the end of the month, so hang in there and keep your chin up! The weather is great so enjoy an al fresco dinner with friends, and keep looking! All the delays and reversals of the past month were really the Universe giving some tough lessons in order to help us figure out what we really want, and how to better communicate it. The kinks you worked out last month will put you on more solid ground this month for all the changes and challenges coming your way! When you know better, you do better. Hopefully we now know a little better.
An amazing Taurean celebration of music, food and fun happens on May 5th, Happy Cinco de Mayo!! Eat lots of tacos and drink a few prickly pear margaritas (I know I will). The Sun in Taurus makes a wonderful aspect to Neptune the planet of illusion and gives a dreamy feeling to the day. You won't even remember the calories so enjoy the mariachi music and dance! The next two weeks are not light and festive so even if you don't like Mexican food, get out and enjoy!
Mid month, from May 10 through May 20th we have extremely difficult energy to move through. There is a greater chance for arguments, accidents and natural disasters at this time. Capricorns, Libras, Cancers and Aries are most affected by this energy. Use caution when driving or doing any physical activity. The energy is wild and unpredictable and could become violent. If you find yourself in a situation that could become explosive, get out. This is not the week to take unnecessary risks. Take the long route to work, drive a bit slower and remember to be extra vigilant and cautious. There could be news of world events or disasters at this time. Remember the red capes and horns…get out of the way. This is not the time to negotiate or compromise, no one will be in the mood, and arguments escalate quickly. Be like the Bull and lay low, tend to your own garden and eat bon bons, move slowly, take your time and don't charge.
At the peak of the intense energy we celebrate Mother's Day on Sunday the 13th. The moon is in fiery Aries adding to the intensity in the sky. If you can, make your brunch with Mom a dinner instead. The moon moves from Aries to Taurus in the afternoon and lightens it up just a bit. Let everyone sleep in and don't make too many demands. Let Mom decide what she wants and honor it. Take extra care when driving, and consider making a home cooked meal instead of going out. Please be careful with sharp knives in the kitchen, and snuff out the candles before bed! We can honor our Mothers whether they are with us or not. Maybe you can bake the cake she loved, or put peonies out because they were her favorite flower. I'm going to make my Mother's home fries and imagine her cooking them for me. They never taste as good as hers, but when I make them I remember all the times she made my life that much better, and with each bite I taste the love she put into everything she did. I believe we are surrounded by the energy of those we love, and even when they pass the connection moves beyond the confines of time and space. Happy Mother's Day!
On the 15th we have the new moon in Taurus. New moons are beginnings and a great time for setting goals for the month ahead. There is a glimmer of hope in the middle of the difficult energy with this new moon when Jupiter and Neptune, two loving planets make a divine connection. They are both in water signs and when we put water to earth, things grow! Make a new moon wish list and focus on hope, compassion and forgiveness and use it as a guide for the next month of growth in your world. Shake out those pockets, maybe you can find a few extra coins to donate to a cause close to your heart. Grow something important to you something that has value and represents who you are and what you want to accomplish. Engage in a new moon ceremony (Contact me if you would like to learn more) Focus your intentions on the greater good. Take a yoga class, meditate and of course drink a calming cup of tea, throw in a scone or three for good measure – it's a Taurus new moon after all!
If all this weren't enough, I'm finally getting to the BIG news! On May 15th Uranus the planet of revolution enters Taurus after seven years in Aries. Taurus the Bull rules the stock market, financial institutions, currency, and banking. Mark your calendars May 2018 will be remembered as the beginning of the financial revolution! Uranus will move slowly through the sign of Taurus and methodically go about the business of changing all that we know to be true in the Taurus area of our lives. If you are a Taurus Sun sign, change is coming in a big way for you. This will affect all of us both personally and globally. A Bull in a china shop comes to mind with this one. The china is the financial industry and we the people – the Bulls. You can see where this is headed!
(If you want to learn about where the revolution is taking place in your life contact me for a consultation.)
Put a big Cosmic Tea star next to the 25th if you want to take a romantic getaway with the one you love or go on a first date! A rare alignment in the sky brings large doses of romance to us down here on Earth. Pisces and Scorpios will really feel the love, but everyone will have this yummy pixie dust flying around. Even if you aren't interested in a romantic partner, the energy is creative so use it to finish that novel you've been working on, maybe a quick a trip to the salon for a new look, or plant your garden. It's all happening at the start of Memorial Day weekend so get away, or stay home and enjoy! It will happen again in August so if you have to work that weekend — you'll have one more chance later this summer!
Finally we end the month with a full moon on the 29th in Sagittarius offering us each an opportunity for illumination around big dreams, spirituality and adventure. A lot of focus this month has been on the practical earthly paths we've chosen. There is potential for amazing transformation ahead, but sometimes the path is not easy and this month we learn that lesson the hard way. Keep your head about you mid month and remember to look up every now and again, focus on lifting the energy and your life to a higher vibration. Plant your garden and tend to it. Where there is life there is change, and that means everyone! Even you, Taurus 😉

The Key to a Positive Workplace Culture? "Build Bonds, Rapport, and Trust," Says Booz Allen's Bob Williams
The Key to a Positive Workplace Culture? "Build Bonds, Rapport, and Trust," Says Booz Allen's Bob Williams
Bob Williams is a Chief Technologist at Booz Allen's Digital Hub in Charleston, SC, where many members of the firm's Digital Solutions Group work. We talked with Bob about what it's like to work at the Hub, and some of the Digital Solutions Group's most inspiring projects.
NEWSROOM: Booz Allen Hamilton
CAMPAIGN: People Profiles
CONTENT: Article
Q: Why did Booz Allen open the Charleston Hub?
Bob Williams: Booz Allen has been serving clients for more than 100 years, and because we want to remain highly relevant for another 100 years, we have taken a bigger foothold in software technology services, information technology and the growing digital eco-sphere. As part of that effort, in 2015 we acquired Sparc, a Charleston tech company, as a way to grow our capabilities in agile software development. The Charleston Hub was born out of that acquisition, and the firm's commitment to the Charleston area, where we are committed to embed ourselves in the community.
Q: Tell me about how the design of the office space contributes to the work of the Charleston Hub
Bob Williams: The office offers lots of open space, natural light, and high ceilings—which makes it an aesthetically pleasing place to spend time in. But beyond that, the space is very purposefully designed to facilitate collaboration and innovation. Everyone, regardless of their project or their level in the firm, sits at tables out in the open. No one is behind a closed door, and no one is in a cube. Six people work at each large table, so we really are rubbing elbows with each other—building bonds, rapport, and trust so that we can easily collaborate on problems and segue to building solutions as a team.
Every six or nine months teams pack up and move to another area in the building. So our people are frequently pushed out of their comfort zones, and forced to walk different routes in the building and meet new neighbors on their way to their new team area. We want to create collisions and interactions because we know that when we get people together, ideas morph and meld and develop into something new and exciting.
We find that we've created a workplace where people are more likely to say hello to each other, and get to know each other. For example, on Fridays, dogs are welcome in the office, and they certainly help break down the barriers to conversation among people who don't otherwise know each other.
Q. Tell me about a project you're passionate about
Bob Williams: One of the firm's largest contracts is working on the Veterans Benefits Management Systems (VBMS) for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Our team has employed agile methodologies to transform the VA's paper-intensive compensation and pension claims system to a web-based, paperless system. Our work has decreased the backlog in veterans' claims for benefits by 87 percent, and reduced the average wait time for a claim decision by 100 days.
When we're under pressure to meet a deadline, engineers say things like, "I'm in the weeds," or "Under the gun," or "In the trenches." When we're working on the VBMS contract, we are all very aware of the fact that our work will help people for whom these phrases are not metaphors, but real life. Knowing that our work helps people who have put their lives on the line for the country is incredibly rewarding. When I go home at night I know that I've contributed to making a positive change in the world, and that is a great feeling.
Q: What makes for a positive workplace culture?
Bob Williams: If you were to come to the Charleston Hub and look around, you'd see dogs, ping pong tables, scooters—a lot of the things people imagine when they think of a west coast startup environment. But culture is not about ping pong tables and dogs—these are only the artifacts of culture. Culture is what you do day-in and day-out and for us that is to build bonds, collaborate, and solve problems together.
By offering a great work life balance, stability, and truly rewarding work, we're creating a culture that helps us attract and retain the best talent.

Top seeds safely through in Marrakech
Albert Ramos-Vinolas and Kyle Edmund coast through in Morocco.
Top seed Albert Ramos-Vinolas and the second-seeded Kyle Edmund made comfortable progress in the opening round of the Grand Prix Hassan II.
Spaniard Ramos-Vinolas faced few problems as he saw off home hope Amine Ahouda 6-1 6-2 in Marrakech.
British number one Edmund raced into a 5-0 lead against Jiri Vesely and what was already shaping up to be a routine win for the 23-year-old became even easier when Vesely retired from the match.
It was not all plain sailing for the seeds though.
Holland's Robin Haase, the fifth seed, went down 4-6 6-4 7-5 to Mirza Basic of Bosnia and Alexandr Dolgopolov, the seventh seed from Ukraine, lost 6-2 6-3 to Italian Andrea Arnaboldi.
At the US Men's Clay Court Championship in Houston, Ivo Karlovic beat Taro Daniel 7-6 (7/5) 6-4 and will face Denis Kudla in the next round, Horacio Zeballos saw off Yoshihito Nishioka in less than an hour 6-1 6-2 and Nicolas Kicker beat Donald Young 6-3 6-2.
Americans Ryan Harrison and Steve Johnson are through to the next round, seeing off Miomir Kecmanovic 6-4 6-3 and Ernesto Escobedo 3-6 7-6 (7/5) 6-2 respectively.
Completing the draw for the next round are Guido Pella, who beat Stefan Kozlov 6-3 6-2 and Taylor Fritz who saw off Tim Smyczek 6-7 (3/7) 6-2 7-6 (8/6).

North Africa's Last Line of Defense
While the world continues to focus on the implications of a destabilized Libya, Algeria has been working diligently to prevent a resurgent Al Qaeda from toppling its regime in its quest to install an Islamic Caliphate in the Maghreb region of North Africa. Since the Libyan conflict first broke out in February 2011, a wave of terror attacks has hit Algeria as the result of an increasingly porous border and the loss of the Gaddafi regime, perhaps Bouteflika's most important ally in the war on terror.
For the past two decades, the secular regime of Abdelaziz Bouteflika has been the target of local Islamic extremist groups, who have recently extended their fight beyond Algeria, setting their sights on the entirety North Africa. Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) traces its roots back to a failed revolution attempt which began in 1992 when Algeria's military government cancelled the second round of parliamentary elections when it seemed evident that an Islamist coalition would take power. In the years that followed, Algeria descended into a bloody civil war as extremist groups led by the Armed Islamic Group (GIA) killed tens of thousands of civilians in their efforts to topple the government. The conflict eventually died down due to government amnesty programs and counter terror measures, while splits within the GIA began to emerge as a result of its policies of targeting civilians. One of the groups to break off from the GIA was called the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), which pledged to restrict its attacks to government and military targets. Following September 11, the GSPC began to cooperate with Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, officially joining its ranks in 2006 following an announcement by the groups' second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, who then designated the group as 'Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb'.
While still keeping its main focus toppling the Bouteflika regime, AQIM has worked to spread its influence across the region, establishing cells in neighboring Morocco and Libya, while sending its members to fight Coalition forces in Iraq. In Algeria, AQIM continued to operate in the populous coastal region until a heavy handed counter-terror campaign in 2010 by the Algerian government sent them fleeing southward, to the expansive and uninhabited Sahel region. Gaddafi's Fall A Setback in Algeria's war on terror
Despite his past connections with various terror networks, Gaddafi's regime was also threatened by Islamic extremists, including the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), which holds a similar Salafist ideology to AQIM. Up until the civil war, Gaddafi's regime was successful in preventing the LIFG from gaining influence, using a carrot-and stick policy of crackdowns and monetary rewards to dissuade various tribes in Libya from falling under their influence.
Because of Gaddafi's hard-line policy against Jihadist groups, Algeria remained one of the very last countries to recognize Libya's National Transitional Council (NTC), as they had just ousted their strongest ally in the war on terror. In 2010, just before the first protests took place in Benghazi, it seemed as though AQIM's operating capability was all but diminished. As the situation in Libya deteriorated into civil war, Algeria began to witness an increase in terror attacks claimed by AQIM, and its' mountainous eastern provinces began to resemble southern Afghanistan. Taliban-style bombings and ambushes of government troops became a weekly occurrence in these areas, as the border with Libya became increasingly porous as a result of the fighting. Terror has returned to the coast as well, most noticeably when 16 people were killed in a double suicide bombing outside a police academy in the western city of Cherchell, in August 2011.
As terror attacks in Algeria persist, speculation is rising that the Algerian-Libyan border has become a corridor for smugglers who are trafficking advanced arms out of Libya for use in insurgencies around the Middle East. In early September, the Algerian government closed the border after confiscating a large quantity of anti-aircraft missiles from smugglers crossing in from Libya. A government spokesman stated that the missiles carried French markings, suggesting they were taken from munitions drops to Libyan Rebels in the beginning of the conflict. There is still a high level of tension and mistrust between the two neighbors, as public opinion in of Algeria is at a low point among Libyans, critical of Bouteflika's past support for Gaddafi and his willingness to shelter members of his immediate family. Algeria on the other hand, suspects hostile elements may hold ranking positions in the NTC, while doubting their overall willingness to fight Islamist extremism. Bouteflika's Regime Must Be Supported
Despite his willingness to fight Islamic Terror, Bouteflika's government is regarded throughout the Arab world as one of the last of the repressive and corrupt regimes who have yet to be overthrown in the 'Arab Spring'. Protests and demonstrations occur throughout the country on a daily basis, protesting quality of life and labor related issues, as well as government corruption. Despite these protests, a unified reform movement to topple Bouteflika altogether has yet to emerge, as Algeria's citizens are fearful of the advent of another civil war, traumatized from the bloody conflict which ended just a decade ago. That being said, there are still calls for Bouteflika to step down- most often from prominent Algerian Islamist clerics. In addition, Algeria's faltering economy coupled with an increasing national awareness as one of the last remaining nations to tolerate corruption will only fuel discontent.
It is therefore up to the leaders of the Western world to ensure the survival of the Bouteflika regime for the near term, for it is they who will ultimately suffer the consequences of North Africa turning into another Afghanistan, Yemen, or Iraq. The Libyan and Tunisian conflicts have already sent thousands of refugees to the shores of Italy, and an uprising in Algeria will most likely do the same, bringing with them cells of Islamic Extremists who seek to repeat acts of terror such as the Madrid Train Bombings or the London Subway attacks of 2005. The consequences of a destabilized Algeria would be even worse for those African nations who are currently allied with the west. Morocco is already investing considerable resources in fighting local cells of AQIM, while a notable increase in militant attacks has been cited in the border areas of Niger, Mauritania, and Mali, while Islamist cells in northern Nigeria continue to threaten the stability of the oil-rich nation.
With the rest of North Africa destabilized by recent revolutions, Bouteflika continues to demonstrate his nation's willingness to fight Al Qaeda, sustaining wave after wave of terror attacks in the process. He has recently sent large contingents of troops to the Libyan border to stop weapons smuggling, while hosting a counter-terrorism conference in September with other African nations facing the same phenomenon. Should Algeria become embattled in the turmoil of the Arab Spring, the western world must treat the situation with considerable sensitivity, refraining from rescinding support for Bouteflika as hastily as they did with Mubarak in Egypt.
Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has already moved quickly to take advantage of the instability in places like Libya and Yemen, and the latest upswing in attacks proves that they still desire to take down the Algerian government for its resilience in fighting Islamic extremism. Despite its repressive nature, the United States and Europe need to continue to ensure that the Bouteflika regime remains in place, as long as the rest of North Africa is struggling to restore stability. A reckless policy toward Algeria would allow the cancer of Islamic Extremism to spread throughout the Maghreb, and turn southern Europe into the new front line in the war on terror.

AVOCO's chance to take a leading role in helping equip the Waihi Beach community with a state-of-the-art rescue vessel is being described as nothing short of 'humbling' by its directors.
More than 70 people were on hand at the beachside community in March when AVOCO Rescue was officially blessed by Pio Formby, of Otawhiwhi Marae, and welcomed into the Waihi Beach Coastguard's rescue fleet at its Bowentown headquarters.
Key dignitaries in attendance included Coromandel MP Scott Simpson, Western Bay of Plenty District Council Mayor Garry Webber and Tauranga Energy Consumer Trust trustee Peter Blackwell.
The $197,000 purpose-built vessel is a key acquisition for the Western Bay of Plenty organisation in helping provide full coverage of the Waihi beach area – both at sea and in the Northern Tauranga harbour.
AVOCO Rescue is the fifth rescue vessel in the voluntary organisation's 27-year history, and is a 5.8m Naiad-designed RHIB (rigid hull inflatable boat), powered by twin 115hp Yamaha outboards.
It replaces Search Two, a 5.5m long vessel, which since being launched in 2003 clocked up more than 1000 hours on the water, and joins Coastguard's primary vessel 'Gallagher Rescue', a 9.5m Naiad powered by twin 250hp Yamaha four stroke outboards.
The vessel is a result of a partnership between AVOCO, TECT, The Lion Foundation, First Sovereign Trust, Valder Ohinemuri Trust and the Western Bay of Plenty Coastguard unit.
AVOCO, the leading New Zealand avocado export company, is a key contributor having pledged an annual sponsorship contribution of $20,000 for three years which will go towards Coastguard's yearly operational costs as well as the running costs of AVOCO Rescue.
"It is humbling to be closely connected with such a vital voluntary organisation in the local community," says AVOCO director John Carroll.
"Volunteers are the lifeblood of any community and their efforts often go unrecognised. This vessel is the recognition of public gratitude and we are proud to be involved."
Tauranga Energy Consumer Trust trustee Peter Blackwell labelled AVOCO Rescue a "game changer" in providing an accessible service to ensure all Kiwis enjoy our maritime playground safely.
With more than half of the 200 rescues performed along the stretch of Western Bay of Plenty coastline in 2016 involving people from the greater part of the North Island, this is a vital upgrade.
"The community that you serve goes a lot further than Waihi Beach," says Western Bay of Plenty District Council Mayor Garry Webber.
"Each of your calls starts off as someone in strife and a lot of people you have helped come from far and wide. These people are forever grateful for this service."
Coromandel MP Scott Simpson says the new vessel is the physical manifestation of the tremendous support shown by the community for these efforts.
"The time, effort and energy you as volunteers give to the community is massive. AVOCO Rescue is a great new asset for the wider community."
The fleet expansion means Coastguard now has the capability to cover two completely different areas, with Gallagher Rescue overseeing the Bowentown Bar, one of the most notorious in New Zealand, and AVOCO Rescue protecting the channels and shallow areas of the Northern Tauranga Harbour.

On Products: My Rationale Explained
Get to Know the Uses of Foam Roller A very helpful device for all persons is a muscle roller or termed as foam roller. An advantage of a muscle roller is that it is an aid to improve performance and the quality of life of an individual. The gravity of injuries or the possibility of further injury to happen will be reduced when you use a foam roller on the affected area. It is because of the activation of the muscles that consequently allows the blood to start pumping through, leading to minimize the injury and possibility of making the injury severe. The recovery time after exercises will be decreased when using foam roller because it is similar to a deep tissue massage. A foam roller functions this way by improving the flow of blood that carries oxygen and nutrients to the muscular system, and at the same time, this device helps in a fast removal of toxins from the body leading to a great improvement of recovery time from injuries.
What I Can Teach You About Products
Another advantage in using a foam roller is that your back pain, sore calves, runner's knee and other kinds of pains will be given relief. There is focus on the pressure points of your body when using a foam roller, and this will give you a quick relief.
What I Can Teach You About Products
Furthermore, your tight muscles will be loosen like a deep muscle massage, soreness will be relieved and muscle tension released with the use of a massage roller. You can actually control how you want your massage to be intense depending on your needs. It is important that you know your options when choosing which foam roller to buy, and this is because there are several kinds of this device available in the market. A kind of foam roller that has a pool noodle surface finish and relatively cheap are the EPE foam rollers and thus basically low in quality. These rollers though can be a good introductory roller especially if you are still new in using this device. Another type of foam rollers are the EVA foam rollers, and this type has a smooth finish and are better quality in comparison to the EPE foams. With this quality of foam, it is also expensive but can offer better massage results. Another smooth in finish and is just recently introduced in the market are the molded foam rollers. Because of the quality of this foam, they last longer and can give you amazing massage experiences, thus thought of as more effective than the EPE and EVA rollers. Your next kind of foam rollers are the rumble rollers and they are described as small flat square ridges and are smooth in finish thus the most sale in the market. The areas of the hip and should can be better reached using this foam and this makes it a chosen foam in the market.

Malaysia's central bank announced Thursday (March 29) that it was the subject of a cyber attack in which hackers aimed to steal money via fraudulent wire transfers, reported Reuters. According to the report, Bank Negara Malaysia said the hackers weren't able to steal funds from the incident, but it did involve fake wire-transfer requests over the SWIFT bank messaging network.
Reuters noted this as the second hack of a central bank since the $81 million theft of Bangladesh Bank in 2016. That case also involved fake SWIFT transfer requests, which prompted financial firms around the world to enhance their security to prevent it from happening to them.
Tom Kellermann, a former member of the World Bank security team, said in the report, "You thwarted an attack but you didn't actually catch the hackers. That adversary is still out there attempting to exploit the system."
Bank Negara Malaysia didn't say who was behind the latest hack or how they were able to access the SWIFT network. What's more, it reported there were no disruptions to the other payment and settlement systems that the central bank uses.
"All unauthorized transactions were stopped through prompt action in strong collaboration with SWIFT, other central banks and financial institutions," the bank stated.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for SWIFT declined to comment other than to say in an email statement that: "We have no indication that our network and core messaging services have been compromised."
In February, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation reported a SWIFT hack last year that made 339.5 million rubles ($6 million) disappear. The disclosure was snuck onto the end of a central bank report on digital thefts out of Russian banks, according to Reuters reports at the time. The central bank said it had been sent information about "one successful attack on the workplace of a SWIFT system operator."

If you are part of a small or medium sized enterprise in Australia, or even working for a large multinational, having good credit management policies are part of successful business practice.
Avoiding Double Punishment
The ability to get paid for the work you've done, or the services you've provided, can avoid a "double hit" to your balance sheet.
If you don't get paid for work already done, not only do you lose the money you've already earned, you also lose the money you could have earned working for another client. In addition, failure to collect unpaid money also amounts to wasted employee time, which can be a big motivation killer.
Bad Debt
Unfortunately, even with strong credit management policies, sometimes it is impossible to collect a debt.
A bad debt is an amount of money that cannot be repaid for a variety of reasons. Failure to comply with payment demands or court orders as a result of bankruptcy, liquidation, or death are common reasons for bad debts.
Tax Consequences
The Government recognised some time ago that Australian businesses should not be disadvantaged if one or more of their debtors was unable to settle a debt.
As a result there are a number of taxation consequences and treatments that creditors should be aware of if a bad debt does arise. The first is that bad debts can, in some circumstances, be claimed as income tax deductions.
To do this, the bad debt must be written off formally and in writing. In addition, your financial accounts must reflect this with a specific item accounting for the bad debt, and it must be in the same financial year as you are seeking to claim the deduction.
As a record keeping matter, all written materials relating to the bad debt must be retained for up to seven years in the event that the Australian Taxation Office requires substantiation of the deduction.
Avoid Bad Debts
Of course, another way to avoid a bad debt is to speak to a professional and experienced debt collection company like Challenge Collections. We can pursue any unpaid debt on your behalf and have a proven track record of helping clients of all sizes recover substantial unpaid invoices, bills and funds from their debtors.
To find out more about a how the experienced Brisbane team at Challenge Collections can help you avoid the hit to your bottom line that results from a bad debt, please give us a call, send us an email or get in contact through the easy to use form on the website.

Public works and land use are traditionally fraught with concern and intransigence on the part of the various parties involved, and in the Cuban case at hand, this was certainly so; the Junta had appointed a four-member committee "para meditar los arbitrios que conceptuasen mas oportunos y menos gravosos para la formacin de caminos" ("to decide the tax rates that will be least burdensome but still will bring about the most timely creation of [good] roads"). Jáuregui's opinion was clearly and concisely expressed and shows a progressive tax structure differentiating users of the roads and the wear each category was most likely to create.

A pooch who bit off more than she could chew has been rescued from a ledge above a blow hole in northern Tasmania.
Grace, 6, a Kelpie spaniel cross got stuck at the Devonport blow hole after wandering from home, prompting the rescue by Tasmania Police and the Devonport Surf Lifesaving Club.

Coaches vs. Cancer check presentation at Slinger High School | By Debra Martola
Nov. 2, 2017 – Slinger, WI – There was a check presentation Wednesday at Slinger High School as students from Hartford Union High School and Slinger teamed up to raise money and awareness for the American Cancer Society.
On Sept. 8, 2017 there was the 7th annual Slinger vs Hartford "Coaches vs Cancer" football game, hosted this year by Slinger.
Once again we had a unified T-shirt logo to demonstrate our dual communities commitment to this event. Both SHS and HUHS students, faculty and fans once again rallied behind their respective teams either by purchasing and wearing this year's Coaches vs Cancer T-shirt, proudly displaying our wonderful business supporters logos, buying raffle tickets for numerous great prizes, participating in a 50/50 cash drawing or contributing to the 87 second cheerleader "dash for cash," which earmarks the 2017 statistic that 87 people in the state of Wisconsin will hear the words "you have cancer."
Fox 6 News covered the event as well, as we were the game of the week. Not only was this a big rivalry football game, it was, and continues to be a fundraising event for those battling a much larger rival….cancer.
The event was initiated in 2011 by Kevin Wilkinson, a Slinger football coach who had a personal history of colon cancer. A month after that game/event he passed away.
A traveling trophy was created in his memory that goes to the winning team, and each year a plaque is added with that teams name, and the collective fundraising amount. In 2016, one week after last years event, Hartford's coach John Redders lost his father Darrell, to cancer.
A decision was unanimously made to rename the trophy as the Wilkinson-Redders Memorial Trophy.
It was rededicated this year prior to the game, with both Wilkinson and Redders family members present. This year, our event raised over $12,000! To date, this local event has contributed over $83,000 towards the fight against cancer.
Coaches vs Cancer is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches that empowers coaches, their teams, and local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer.
Every day, cancer patients face barriers that can impact her ability to get well. Funds raised through Coaches vs Cancer help the American Cancer Society provide programs for those patients to address these challenges, such as coping with their diagnosis, managing their treatment and side effects, and giving them hope for life after cancer.
The initiative combines the personal experiences, community leadership, and the professional excellence of athletic coaches nationwide to increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living through year-round awareness, fundraising and advocacy programs. For the past two years as the highest fundraising event in our state, representatives from Slinger and Hartford had the distinct honor of an invitation to the "Coaches vs Cancer Wisconsin Gala Ball" held in Madison.
Wisconsin sits atop the leaderboard nationally as well for CVC. Community minded businesses and supporters continue to contribute to this success by T-shirt sponsorship and or raffle prize donations, and we cannot thank them enough for that!
At the end of the night…only one team was announced victorious, but the rivals and fans can go home, knowing they were ALL part of a community event that supports victories over cancer.

With most commentators decided on a 6 May general election, we are gearing up for a 'double-header' in London, with local elections due to take place on the same day for the first time since Greater London was formed in 1963.
Combining these makes predicting results across 73 constituencies and 32 boroughs much harder, not least because of a potential significant increase in local turnout.
London borough election percentages have tended to average in the mid-30s; the national vote tends to average in the low 60s.
So, many council wards with normally safe majorities could be under threat. We also have a mass of constituency boundary changes, some very significant.
For the Conservatives, three of the top four smallest Labour majorities nationally are in the capital.
But analysis of the top 130 swing seats shows clearly that London is not the real battleground. The Tories will win or lose the election in the Midlands and the North. It's hard to imagine the Conservatives winning Tooting, which stands at 112 on their target list, compared with Warwick & Leamington Spa at 117, a better bet despite a stronger Labour majority.
Locally, Conservatives perhaps reached a high-water mark in 2006, holding 14 councils outright and sharing control of five more.
They should win Merton, but can they win Kingston, Richmond, Sutton and Hounslow? The numbers don't make it easy.
So the measures for them are whether they become the party with the most MPs in London - currently 21 to Labour's 44 - and if they can increase control of boroughs by more than one.
Labour's strategy has to be all about hanging on to key seats such as Dagenham & Rainham. Ending up with around 35 seats - half of the London seats - would be a major result.
At borough level, Labour did badly in 2006, losing control of nine councils, including Lewisham, which it had held for 38 years. Can Labour keep Tower Hamlets, Barking & Dagenham and Haringey? Can it perhaps surprise people and win back Islington? Old heartlands such as Brent, Camden, Southwark and Lewisham look likely to remain with no overall control.
Post-election, Labour will want to win back the mayoralty. If Jon Cruddas or Sadiq Khan lose their seats, Ken Livingstone, the current favourite, could be challenged. If the Tories form the next government but Labour wins the mayoralty in 2012, the victor would be the highest profile governing politician for Labour in the country, the same scenario as with Boris Johnson now.
The Liberal Democrats will be asked the usual question of whether they can finally become a genuine party of force.
This will be tricky if their campaigning resources are contending with two elections on the same day.
There will be a focus on their battles with the Tories in south west London, especially Susan Kramer vs Zac Goldsmith in Richmond. But the telling point will be in Brent, Camden, Islington and Haringey, where they have increased votes but not always on seats.
Some headline battles will define London politically - the Tooting seat and Sutton and Kingston councils will be Tory benchmark targets and they could sneak into Poplar & Limehouse with George Galloway and Jim Fitzpatrick splitting the left vote.
Labour will pray that Cruddas in Dagenham & Rainham and Margaret Hodge in Barking can stave off the BNP. It could take back Islington and will hope that Andrew Slaughter in Hammersmith and Dawn Butler in Brent Central hold their seats in the west.
The Lib Dems will be challenged in the south west, but might win Haringey and pick up one or two seats in central London. It will be fascinating to watch.
- Who are your five fantasy dinner party guests from the political world?
It has to be London politicians for us. Margaret Thatcher (who abolished the GLC), Ken Livingstone, Trevor Phillips, Dick Whittington and Samuel Pepys (to take notes) would make a rather intriguing evening.
- Predict one thing that will happen in the week running up to the election.
Boris Johnson will be seen on the campaign trail with David Cameron in Ealing.
- A hung parliament: good or bad news for public affairs?
This is something we've been predicting for two years, and it's neither good nor bad, just different. Read our political history after 1974.
