Following the latest growing demand for the transplantable organs by the hospital clients, there is a dire need for the supply of organs to meet their demands, specification, and precision to the purposes, which they are intended for, within the required time. The hospital is committed to the supply of transplantable organs within its reach, conduct tissue type matching promptly, and guarantee timely supply of the organs. Nevertheless, this crucial practice has raised a lot of ethical issues which this memo serves to clarify.

The need for the transplantable organs is a reality among the hospital clients, and organ donation has successfully saved lives of many patients. Considering the overwhelming benefits associated with the organ transplantation, the hospital will continue its plans to remove and preserve organs from donors who have just died for some other reasons unrelated to the organ. In order not to let healthy and usable vital organs go to waste alongside the remains of the deceased, it will be prudent to remove them immediately, with the full knowledge and consent of the next of kin, for the purposes of future transplant in other needy patients, whose lives are jeopardized by malfunctioning organs of the same type.
Most importantly, the hospital has not received any complaint, so far, in its endeavor to supply transplantable organs, as it poses harm neither to the deceased, nor to their relatives, but helps several other patients (with failing organs) lead a good life again. This is a phenomenon, which would never happen, if there was no supply of organs for transplantation. Therefore, the hospital fraternity is asked to support this endeavor, and further inform the public on the benefits of the practice.

Energia has made a bold move in the autumn energy price war of 2016, announcing brand new market-leading electricity and dual fuel discounts, available exclusively through price comparison websites, such as bonkers.ie.
On October 1st, price cuts from Electric Ireland, Bord Gáis Energy and PrePayPower.ie will take effect, as will the increase in the PSO Levy. But Energia has nipped in ahead of its competitors and made its new discounts available with immediate effect.
Let's take a look at how much you could save.
Energia's brand new 'Clever Electricity' price plan comes with a 31% discount off the supplier's standard rate, taking the price for a unit of electricity down to 11.49 cent, excluding VAT.
With all taxes and charges added in, it means that a household with average annual consumption will spend about €917 on electricity in year one.
And significantly, this is €206 cheaper than the standard rates which many Irish households are still paying.
Another way of looking at is, if you haven't switched electricity in the last 12 months, you are almost certainly overpaying and missing out on significant savings.
You can sign up to Energia's Clever Electricity price plan here.
Customers who sign up to Energia's new 'Clever Dual Fuel' price plan through bonkers.ie will get a 25% electricity discount and a 24% gas discount, making the offer the cheapest dual fuel deal on the market right now.
The discounts will take the supplier's unit rate for electricity down to 12.49 cent excluding VAT and the unit rate for gas down to 3.929 cent excluding VAT.
With all taxes and charges added in, a household with average gas and electricity consumption will pay a total of about €1,743 in year one.
And that's a saving of more than €324 against standard rates.
Energia's 'Clever Dual Fuel' is available right here, right now on bonkers.ie.
Energia has also announced a change to its gas only prices, now offering a gas only discount of 15% and a unit price of 4.395 cent, excluding VAT.
At this rate, a household with average consumption will spend about €838 on gas in year one, including all taxes and charges. And that's about €105 cheaper than standard rates.
Many of Ireland's energy customers have benefitted from the ongoing price war in the industry, with price cuts from three major suppliers set to come into effect on October 1st.
However, Energia's new market-leading electricity discount is the largest we have ever seen at bonkers.ie, offering savings of up to €206 to new customers. And the new dual fuel deal will save customers €324.
And remember, these discounts aren't available directly from the supplier, but you can sign up to 'Clever Electricity' or 'Clever Dual Fuel' on bonkers.ie.
Geoff Codd, Energia's head of marketing said that the company has consistently provided the best value, and reflecting the new marketing campaign to launch on 2nd October he said "Choosing Energia continues to be the clever choice for Irish consumers."
Energia has signed up more than 100,000 customers since launching in Ireland in 2014.
We're Ireland's leading price comparison and switching site. We're free to use and make comparing prices across suppliers quick and easy!
We save you time by bringing you all the best deals in one place. Every year we help tens of thousands of customers to switch and save money!
We're 100% impartial and are also accredited by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) as an impartial, accurate and independent supplier of energy price comparisons.

What Makes an Intriguing System of Magic?11
July 23, 2013 by Kira Lyn Blue
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about systems of magic in the various fantasy genres. I find it intriguing how different writers approach magic and how that impacts the stories they tell.
What I find most interesting is that magic is almost universally treated as an inherent ability. The characters who do magic in any story must be born with the ability, making them "special" humans or part of a specific race that has magic as part of their racial heritage. Magic is almost never something anyone can do so long as they have the desire to learn.
While it might be interesting to debate why this is and what that says about us as a literary culture, let's skip that for now and meander over to another topic: What makes an intriguing magical system in fantasy fiction?
Definitions and Limitations of Magic
I firmly believe that the definitions and limitations of magic in any novel or series is the key to capturing the reader and holding on to their interest. If the reader is not given a firm understanding as to what magic can and can't do, or more specifically what a character can and can't do, there is a very distinct possibility that they will end up feeling cheated or tricked at some point in the story and you will lose them.
Let's take Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, for example. For a fantasy trilogy, magic plays a remarkably small role in the books. Sure, you have the One Ring- a magical artifact of immense power, swords imbued with elven magic that can detect the presence of orcs, and even wizards engaging of battles of will. The only character of the fellowship that can do magic is Gandalf and even though he seems to be powerful, he hardly ever uses his skills. This means that the reader never knows the extent of his capabilities. Is it any wonder then, that so many fans felt immensely cheated when the eagles swoop in to rescue Sam and Frodo from the imploding Mount Doom after they destroyed the Ring?
"What the hell?!? Do you mean to tell me you made Sam and Frodo wander all over hell and creation facing countless dangers and imminent death for years, when the Eagles could have just flown the poor bastards over Mount Doom and let Frodo drop the ring into the lava from the get go? Dude, that is soooo not cool. You tricked me. Gandalf tricked me. I hate both of you right now."
To be fair, it wouldn't have been much of a story if they had just used the eagles to start with. Those of us who really want to give Tolkien the benefit of a doubt have offered up a number of explanations for why it still makes sense. Possibly my favorite is that Gandalf and his wizard kin are angels and they are allowed to guide and advise other characters, thus manipulating world events to their ends but that there is a limit to how much they can interfere. A much simpler explanation would be that Sauron's magic prevented the eagles from flying to Mount Doom until after both he and the ring were destroyed.
The LotR Effect
The trick here is that Tolkien doesn't explicitly offer either of these explanations nor any other. There's part of me that is content to draw my own conclusions about the why and to assume that Tolkien had good reasons for why it was possible at the end of the story but not at the beginning. Unfortunately, there's an equal part of me that thinks it's the Marianas Trench of plot holes and that it's entirely possible Tolkien either knew he was cheating and didn't care or, worse, never noticed it.
Since we, as readers, don't know, we're left to draw our own conclusions. Since the definition and limitations of magic are never described, we can only guess.
As writers, I think we should use Tolkien as a cautionary tale and think long and hard about outlining the definitions and limitations of magic in our fantasy series.
In modern fantasy, the most common way of doing this is creating beings gifted with very specific skills. A character might be able to summon demons to do their bidding or banish them and that's it. A character might be able to make themselves invisible or blend in with shadows. A character might be able to set things on fire, bend water to their will, teleport themselves small distances, read minds, change into animals, call animals to their bidding, levitate objects, and, well, you get the idea. But whatever their ability, that's the one they get and that's all they get. It's as inherent and intrinsic to their being as drinking blood is to a vampire or getting fanged and furry is to a werewolf under the full moon. It has easily definable limits that the reader can pick up on immediately.
Also note the obvious similarities to mutants in X-Men where none of those abilities are defined as magic.
Not that I would discount any fantasy series using this sort of magical system, however I have found myself much more intrigued by fantasy series where authors have created complex systems of magic that are less arcane and esoteric and where the writer gradually explains the details and inner workings of their version of magic making it almost a scholarly or scientific pursuit.
Over the next few days I'll be posting articles on my favorite systems of literary magic; how they work, why they're awesome, what they do for the reader, and what we can learn from them as writers. So stay tuned!

Kellyanne Conway defended herself against accusations that she was caught in a lie on Sunday when the presidential adviser said there were "no cuts to Medicaid" in the new Republican health care bill.
"It's not a lie," Conway told Fox News' Fox & Friends when asked about the criticism she received after a Sunday appearance on ABC's This Week. "In fact, this is slowing the growth of Medicaid and allowing governors more flexibility in their states to be able to give the dollars out … because they are closest to the people in need. Also, Medicaid continues to be funded. Medicaid over time would be unsustainable and unaffordable. Because ObamaCare failed to bring the costs down for health care, so these states are having very difficult time meeting the bills. Medicaid is intended for the poor, the needy, and the sick."
She added, "What it's done under Obamacare, it's expanded the Medicaid pool of people who, quote, qualified beyond that. So if you have an able bodied American — who, again is not poor, sick, needy. We're not talking about the elderly who benefit, the children, the pregnant women, the disabled. If you're able-bodied and you would like to go and find employment and have employer-sponsored benefits then you should be able to do that. And maybe you belong, as Secretary Price made clear, maybe you belong in other places. But I'm not going to allow people and detractors and Trump haters to call me a liar because they don't want to do the homework and look at what's happening to Medicaid.
Speaking to ABC on Sunday, Conway said, "Obamacare took Medicaid, which was designed to help the poor, the needy, the elderly, the sick, the disabled also children, and pregnant women, it took it and it went way above the poverty line and opened it up to many able-bodied Americans who should probably find other — should at least see if there are other options for them. If they're able-bodied and they want to work, then they'll have employer-sponsored benefits like you and I do."
As TIME noted, the current Republican health care bill that made its way through Congress will cut Medicaid spending $880 billion

The Battle to Act: A Literary Analysis of Plot and Agency in a Story About Soldiers
Sandra Sidi, Texas State University
This essay examines the desire and ability of a soldier to act in Shani Bioanjiu's fiction about Israeli soldiers. Using the work of Robert Caserio, I argue that Bioanjiu's story "Means of Suppressing Demonstrations" employs features from both the traditional pre-modern plot of action, as well as features from the modernist plot of contemplation and inaction to reflect that the soldier's ability to act is constrained at all times, if not by circumstance and political realities, by an actual book which details exactly when and how a soldier may act at all.
What happens when a soldier, an agent of action and rescue by definition, is brought into an environment where action is not only penalized, but is simply not possible? In this paper, I explore plot--in particular the desire and ability of a soldier to act--in a story about Israeli soldiers. Using the work of Robert Caserio and George Eliot, I argue that Shani Bioanjiu's short story "Means of Suppressing Demonstrations" employs features from both the traditional pre-modern plot of action, as well as features from the modernist plot of contemplation and inaction, to present an interesting battle between action and passivity within the context of modern war.
A soldier is uniquely trained to be an agent of rescue, and thus a soldier's individual desire for purposeful work may be even stronger than in others. However, a soldier often faces additional impediments to this desire—for what an individual soldier might want to be the result of her tour of duty may well be at odds with the military imperatives, global conditions and decades of history that subsume individual desire for resolution. In Plot, Story and the Novel, Robert Caserio identities traditional plot as one where action is used as a means of righting wrong, the character solves problems, and events work toward a decisive climax. In contrast, modern plot recognizes the limits on what any individual may be able to control in the world, asserting that the "rescue act" is "not practicable" (Caserio 94). Rather, the action occurs within the characters.
As George Eliot's novels reflected a sort of middle ground between traditional and modern plots, in which the protagonist moved from being an agent of action ("rescue") to one who contemplated and endured, so too does Bioanjiu's story inhabit this middle ground. In "Means of Suppressing Demonstrations," Lea is an Israeli Defense Forces officer tasked with preventing violent attacks from occurring on Route 799 running through the West Bank by preventing traffic from passing. Yet there is no traffic on 799. Lea is a soldier, an agent of action, who has nothing to do (Bioanjiu). The story draws on traditional plot elements such as externalized opposing forces, systematically mounting tension (as the Palestinian demonstrators return each day asking for harsher methods) and a protagonist, Lea, with a desire for action that rescues. Yet the story nonetheless maintains strong modern overtones throughout. The "rescue action" happens—Lea arrests a Palestinian boy—but this rescue "happens at the instigation of an external, outside actor," the Palestinian demonstrator and is ultimately an act incapable of any real rescue or change (Caserio 132). Through employing scenes of soldiers reading their I.D.F. guidebook before acting, Bioanjiu appears to suggest that, for the soldier, the ability to act is constrained at all times, if not by circumstance and political realities, by an actual book of procedures which details exactly when and how a soldier may act at all.
I argue that this modern soldier protagonist reflects the lack of power against societal and historical forces that locates rescue beyond the soldier's control. "Means of Suppressing Demonstrations" proves succinctly that the world of modern war—as depicted by Bioanjiu—is both traditional and modern, and also neither in the dichotomy that Caserio's history of plot describes. War solidifies external opposing forces, whose soldiers long to act, yet Bioanjiu depicts action as a feeble faux-rescue that isn't enough to help anyone, nor even end a battle decisively.

The Drawback is that social establishments are instruments created by folks to function an influence, a power over actuality to manage our actuality, Wilson tells us.

This very astute geopolitical American analyst who is based in Bankok, Thailand has uncovered evidence that the US is trying to do another regime change in Malaysia in addition to neighboring Thailand.
Malaysia's Bersih movement is yet another example of so-called American "soft power" in action. The use of US-organized and funded street mobs to carry out political destabilization and regime change has likewise transpired in similar fashion in Thailand through the use of US-backed Thaksin Shinawatra and his "red shirt" street mobs, and in Myanmar with Aung San Suu Kyi and her legions of anti-Rohingya, violent "saffron monks."
The goal is to string together a united front across all of Asia with which to encircle and contain China's rise.

Did you know that more than 85 million iPhones have been sold in the United States since 2007? In addition, mobile devices contribute to 10% of all internet traffic. As a result, many companies have decided to employ BYOD, or bring your own device. This policy permits employees to use their own mobile devices for work purposes. Before allowing iPhone and iPad in the enterprise, however, a mobile device management, or MDM, strategy must be in place.
Why is iPad and iPhone device management important? Although BYOD is an innovative work policy, it sometimes suffers from security issues. Hackers and viruses will try to steal company information from these devices, so protecting them from these threats is imperative. In addition, the loss of a device can pose a security risk to your compan

11 And I saw a great white throne and the One sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from His presence, but they found no place to hide. 12 I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God's throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds.
14 Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death. 15 And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:1-3 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, God's home is now among His people! He will live with them, and they will be His people. God Himself will be with them.
In the daily grind and weariness of life it may seem that our prayers are never going to be answered, it seems that "thy kingdom come" is never going to happen. Because of the delay there are many people that have given up on his second coming. They fail to realize that the Bible proves over and over again that God's timetable moves very slowly and it isn't a sign that his promises will not come true.
We don't like delay anymore than God's children in the Bible. Noah thought the first ever boat would never be completed, Abraham thought that he would never have an heir, God's children thought that they would never stop being ruled by various world leaders.
It is easy to think that God is late and his second coming will never happen. Jesus will return and stop the plans of Satan, the people of Satan's kingdom will be judged and the children of God's kingdom will finally be satisfied forever.
For every time the first coming of Christ is mentioned, the Second Coming is mentioned eight times. And the Lord Himself refers to His coming twenty-one times and over 50 times we are exhorted to be ready for that great event.This event is so important that scripture makes it clear that we can trust God to come through on the Bible's promises about the second coming. The first coming miraculously fulfilled hundreds of prophecies so we can have confidence that the second coming which is predicted much more often than the first is sure to take place.
-John MacArthur
Jesus will begin his rule by defeating all of the opposition to his kingdom.
World leaders will fight "against the Lord and against His anointed" but they will all be defeated. Their weapons prove to be worthless against the sword of the Lord. God created by speaking and it instantly happened and by the sword of his mouth his enemies will be defeated. (Psalm 2:1-3, Hebrews 4:12)
The beast, the false prophet and Satan are all doomed, first the beast and false prophet are cast into hell, then after the thousand year millennial reign Satan will follow them to the same fate. (Revelation 20:10)
The next defeat will happen to all those whose names are not recorded in the Book of Life. The sad reality of everyone that loved their life on earth too much to be concerned about what would happen in the next life. At the great white throne, there will be a Judge but no jury, a prosecution but no defense, a sentence but no appeal. God's answer will be final! (John 12:25, Revelation 20:15)
The prayers of God's children throughout the ages will finally be answered. The longing for "they kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven" will be fulfilled! All of the earthly kingdoms, no matter how good some of them are, will all be gone.
Jesus has told us how to avoid defeat as a citizen of his kingdom.
You don't have to go down in defeat. if you make the wise choice and you are ready for the king that is coming then you will be a citizen of the new kingdom with the only perfect king. There will not be any illegal immigration into God's kingdom.
The Bible is the story of God restoring the kingdom that was lost back when God walked with man in the Garden of Eden. The story continued as God abides with Israel in the tabernacle and later in the temple. Jesus came to earth and "tabernacled" among us and now lives within us. At the end of time the kingdom will be fully restored and God's children will take their place in this better country that they have been longing to see. (John 1:14 / Hebrews 11:16 /1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
When we enter the kingdom we will enjoy God's presence even more fully than Adam and Eve did in the garden. We will finally be home enjoying the presence of our father.
Are you a friend of the conqueror? You can find peace with God.

A Requiem for Coldplay
This band has changed so much, and I barely recognize them anymore.
Over the past few months, I've been exploring old music that I used to listen to, poring over old artists and albums that I found in years past. I firmly believe that the music one listens to in high school is deeply impactful, and I don't think I'll ever forget some of the bands that adorned my first iPod so many years ago.
Coldplay is one of those bands. I started listening to them right before they released Viva la Vida, and I've played songs like "Clocks," "Fix You," and the title track from Viva more times than I can remember. Like many other artists that I first found so long ago though, I barely play their music anymore. But this time I did, and I was struck by just how good this album was and is.
The point of this long preamble is this: Coldplay has written some absolutely fantastic music, music that genuinely pushed and formed the boundaries of whatever genre one places them into. And now, beset by a smattering of electronics and Super Bowl halftime shows, they're gone. Their music today bears nearly no resemblance to any of their earlier tracks, and as a result I feel little inclination to listen to their new songs.
This sounds harsh, and I should clarify that this post is meant more to remember their former greatness than condemn their new directions. All the band's members are hugely successful, and their new musical directions still attract plenty of fans. I just miss the sound, feel, and tone of these earlier albums, and I think that Viva la Vida may be one of the most underrated albums of the last 10 years.
Take the second song, "Cemeteries of London," and the third, "Lost!" Both songs feature dynamic percussion — whether through booming drums or hand clapping—combined with organ music, Chris Martin's ethereal vocals, and a variety of eclectic instruments to complement the main songs. Coldplay doesn't reinvent the genre with these instruments or musical themes, but they were genuinely different from a lot of artists, and the group incorporated them without losing any of the accessibility.
I'm not the only one who sees this either.Sputnikmusic's Adam Downer wrote:
"Viva la Vida shows Coldplay taking risks that the general public never suspected they would ever take, and having a ball doing it. The result is easily Coldplay's best album to date, a record filled with exuberance, charm, and the heart they've been feigning for years."
Part of the reason that I love this album may be my affinity for organs and pianos. Coldplay uses these instruments on this album extensively, and they do a good job with them. But each song also feels multilayered, like there's so much more than the initial melody. The next song, "42," is a perfect example. It starts out slowly, with just a piano and Martin's vocals. Then it slowly morphs, turning into an up-tempo rocker by its end.
From there, it only gets better. "Lovers in Japan" and "Yes" are both beautiful and complex, and each one features the same complexity that marks "42." The title track isn't quite as distinctive as the others, but it's still one of the best radio-friendly songs that I've ever listened to. I haven't heard too many tracks that can (a) sing about themes close to the French Revolution and (b) still sound fun and accessible.
But this isn't who the band is today. I still listened to Mylo Xyloto when it came out, recognizing it as a good album that can't truly compare to its predecessor. Then, I gradually lost touch of Coldplay, and their newest effort got such horrendous reviews that I haven't even bothered with it. It may be a perfectly fine album, but let's face it, I've already heard the best that this band can do.
As I age, I look back with a mixture of fondness and horror on the bands that I used to listen to. Some are good (like Coldplay), and some are truly awful. I know that it isn't just the glow of nostalgia that colors Viva la Vida in rose, though. This is legitimately a fantastic album, and I'm glad to have rediscovered it.

Hello to all of our friends and neighbors who live full time in and around the tranquil communities of Melaque and Barra de Navidad. Welcome to all who are here as visitors and are just getting settled in from their northern treks.
My wife Pat and I are looking forward to sharing the writing of this column (and we will keep our squabbling about how this should go to ourselves!) to keep you abreast of local events, activities, entertainment, etcetera.
Our story of finding Barra de Navidad is influenced by the "magic" of Mexico. We were brought here by fate 11 years ago. Our cousin, and fellow musician, Marc Pettigrew, a.k.a Tanque (as nicknamed by locals for the oxygen tank strapped to his back 24/7) discovered Barra de Navidad at a time when he needed a place that would help him enjoy what could have been the last few years of his life. Marc had been diagnosed with a very rare lung disease, Alpha 1, that would eventually require him to have a transplant.
His "oasis" became Barra de Navidad, a welcome escape from the cruel Canadian winters. This small fishing village made life so much more bearable. Friends were made easily, communicating with locals was fun, as is the case for everyone in this peaceful coastal settlement. It was exactly what Marc needed ... to be accepted as one of many "old warrior" expatriates, sharing life stories at the street-side cafes or wandering and exploring the beauty of the hidden surrounding villages.
The community continues to provide friendship and caring for a man who they would eventually crown as a hero with the affectionate new nickname Senior Milagro – Miracle Man.
Marc was helped by the healing sun and the people's love in Barra/Melaque. He received a successful double lung transplant in 2013 and has now returned to his true passion of making music, no oxygen tanks needed. A true miracle of Mexico.
Marc's lead in bringing us to Barra de Navidad/Melaque was one that came with promises of a wonderland of art and culture. His impassioned description of the area from his home in Canada brought us to examining our own frosty winter existence. When Marc said he needed help driving back and forth to Mexico, then what right-minded Canadian musician and his loving wife wouldn't jump at that opportunity! Eleven years later, here we are, coming back to this veritable paradise annually, discussing the merits of living here year 'round.
One marvels at chickens and dogs in the streets, the smells of Mexican cuisine wafting through the air, but most importantly the warmth and acceptance of local families and businesses who always looked far beyond the oxygen tanks that were Marc's personal Albatross.
Melaque and Barra de Navidad are located on a connecting bus route, twin towns on a coastline dotted with many secluded areas for swimming, snorkeling, paddle boarding or surfing. It offers one of the best-known fishing derbies worldwide. The {playa} forms the heart of each of these towns and both offer the sights and sounds of authentic Mexico. Bars and cafes, art shoppes, craft shops and beach stores hum with the sounds of winter prosperity. The high season in late October began with Day of the Dead celebrations. It continues to burst with excitement, color, music and culture where a mixture of Canadian, American, European and Mexican tourists enjoying one of Jalisco's truly picturesque coastlines.
For the nightlife enthusiast, Marco was right, music lives in Barra de Navidad and Melaque. One can walk through colorful outdoor cafe settings and listen to beautiful Spanish guitar tones, or walk a bit further and be amazed by a local rock group or perhaps pick up on a performance by American or Canadian musicians who have come together in musical freedom.
If you are in Barra de Navidad or Melaque this winter you may just meet us in one of those little spots, along with Señor Milagro. Since his double lung transplant operation, Marc has created two self penned CDs, a live video of his song: In the Middle of the Night in Barra. Hear it at youtube.com/watch?v=KSWdOMXn2d0.
This column will do its best to give our friends and neighbors the same reasons that we have to love and enjoy the many highlights of what is happening in the area.
Music options
Time Out Barra de Navidad features live entertainment five nights a week: Wednesdays, Los Otras, a blues and rock presentation; Thursdays, RC and the Pacemakers, classic rock; Fridays, Pineapple Express, rock to dance to; Saturdays, Chido Riverr*a plays a fusion mix of blues, jazz and rock tunes. All start at 9 p.m. Sundays will start up with dancing to local rockers the Bandidos.

Cabo Blanco Hotel in Barra de Navidad has become a favorite afternoon delight where friends lounge around the pool Thursdays from 2 p.m., and catch live music from Hermanos Pettigrew con Paul with special guest performers from all over the world.
La Oficina in Villa Obregon hosts Thursday night open stage from 8 p.m. and brings back local rock legend Lalo on Fridays for some great tunes.

Harriet's Halloween Candy
Halloween customs from the USA, like 'trick or treat', seem to be catching on more in some parts of Britain: even so this American import hasn't really made a good crossing. American spelling - 'color', 'favorites' - and vocabulary - 'teensy-weensy', 'closet' - as well as a whole lot of 'candy' - 'saltwater taffy', 'peanut butter cups' - which is outside our cultural reference do not recommend this for use with young children. These disadvantages are not outweighed by a slight storyline with a simple message; sharing is better than hoarding (which makes you anxious) or gorging (which makes you sick). Harriet is a likeable enough dog/child but no match for russel Hoban's Frances or any of the Rosemary Wells humanoid menagerie; they travel the Atlantic rather better.


text: Guest Kowch Posted February 8, 2004 Hello Everyone!I'm having a little issue with Squawkbox 2.0 and FS2004. I've followed the tutorial on getting FS2004 online (using SB and SBRelay) and I've gotten on once before. However now when I start up, SB gives me an error window when connecting just stating that it's going to shutdown and log file is being created. (This is using the Run --> HostSB.dll from within the FS)I can (however) get things running if I used the SBhost.exe file however this is less than desirable because I have to continually switch windows to be able to use SB. I've gone and rebuilt my computer from scratch this weekend (something I've been meaning to do for a while) but this continues to happen. I know SB3 will (hopefully) be released soon, but in the meantime I'm having problems figuring this one out. Anyone else run into this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!-Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DALLAS (AP) — Luka Doncic shrugged off a rough shooting night with 11 straight points to erase an eight-point deficit late in the fourth quarter and the Dallas Mavericks went on to their ninth consecutive home victory, 107-104 over the Houston Rockets on Saturday.
Doncic was 3 of 13 before hitting back-to-back 3-pointers to get Dallas within two. After Chris Paul missed two free throws, Doncic hit a floater in the lane for a tie, then followed an air-ball 3 from James Harden with another from long range for a 105-102 lead. It was 26th lead change.
The Slovenian rookie had 21 points along with Wesley Matthews, who missed two free throws with a chance to put the game away in the final seconds. Eric Gordon missed a potential tying 3-pointer for Houston at the buzzer. Harden overcame foul trouble to finish with 35 points, and Paul had 23.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Rookie Collin Sexton matched a career high with 29 points, Tristan Thompson had 23 points and 19 rebounds and Cleveland beat Washington.
Insight by Infor: Learn how DoD is overcoming readiness challenges in this exclusive executive briefing.
Wizards guard John Wall was held to a career low one point in 26 minutes — a free throw early in the third quarter with Cleveland holding a 74-48 lead. Wall returned after missing Washington's victory Wednesday night over Atlanta because of personal reasons.
The five-time All-Star, who didn't participate in the shootaround Saturday because he was under the weather, missed all five shots and had six assists. Wall was taken out late in the third quarter and didn't return. Bradley Beal scored 27 points for Washington.
CHICAGO (AP) — Jaylen Brown scored 23 points, Daniel Theis added a career-high 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and Boston routed Chicago for its fifth straight victory.
The 56-point loss was the worst in Bulls' history, eclipsing a 53-point (127-74) defeat at Minnesota on Nov. 8, 2001.
Jayson Tatum had 18 points and Terry Rozier added 15 as the Celtics used a 17-0 start and a balanced attack to roll their second straight lopsided win. Shaquille Harrison came off the bench to score a career-high 20 points for the Chicago.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dwyane Wade scored 25 points in his 1,000th career game, leading Miami past the Clippers.

Tobias Harris scored 20 points and Lou Williams added 18 for the Clippers, who were just 7 of 29 from 3-point range and 33 for 89 from the field.

My objective is to tell an ethnomusicological story using modern tools. My idea is to map out Afro-Latin rhythms to African Rhythms based on rhythmic similarities to tell the story of the Slave Trade and the roots of American culture. I realized how ambitious this project was as soon as I started making a data base of Afro-Latin rhythms. Brazil alone has 50+. So I had to scale down.
I chose three rhythms to start working with from different regions in Latin America. Samba from Brazil, Cumbia from Colombia, and Candombe from Uruguay.
As a musician with a Sociology background, I am interested in various topics that surround the analysis of these rhythms. First is the blatantly musical side. These are three rhythms I hold dearly to my heart, three rhythms that reflect my vision of what it means to be American. Beyond the syncretism that is deeply embedded in these rhythms, I am also taking a Pan American approach to the presentation of the information as I attempt to avoid political borders.
Since I am using rhythm to tell the story, I thought to make the interface for the interaction an instrument of sorts, although it is essentially a disguised database. I wanted to make a drum machine that lets the user interact with the different rhythmic patterns while being able to dissect the rhythms themselves. Each drum has a story, both in the pattern it plays, as well as its construction. For instance, Cuban conga drums were originally made of rum barrels, modified into different sizes. Similarly, Uruguayan Candombe drums were constructed of tobacco barrels that went through the same fate. The claves for both Cuban rhythms and Candombe are also identical, employing a 3/2 approach on 4/4 beat. It is this kind of information that turns speculation into fact, when it is safe to say that Cuban and Uruguayan rhythms are cousins. They share not only a musical language, but if you dig deeper, there is religion, language, and ultimately geographical origin in common. Most slaves during the slave trade came from Angola and Congo. In this case, the word conga can be etymologically traced to the word KONGO. In Congo, the Bantu language was spoken, and thus we can create the bridge that the word Candombe is also of Bantu origin, meaning "of the black man."
It is especially imperative, that while I take this approach in making a sort of rhythmic salad, in the face of appropriation, the engagement of the user must also be presented with historical facts about what they are listening to and the material they're creating with. In the sampling age, where pop music has blatant musical influence from these and many other rhythms that aren't "white," the attempt is to give a platform to these and other exploited musical forms via information other than the audio files.
My medium for this piece will be a drum machine.
My first job in making the machine was to consider the interaction. I want the user to experience the sounds, but also to be able to experience the geographical location. I am taking an Interactive Music project a few steps further, and making a P5.js sketch physical. The design of the piece is an abstract representation of Latin America.
P5 sketch.
The red dots are buttons that play the rhythm from each location.
I went through a few iterations on how to make it less abstract. I finally landed on this design, which is the first physical prototype of the machine.
Illustrator drawing
Foam cut on the CNC machine.
My next job was to record all three rhythms in a studio and stem out each drum so I can create 4 bar loops of each drum within the pattern. I employed three master percussionists, Martin Vejarano recorded Cumbia, Arturo Prendez recorded Candombe, and Lisette Santiago recorded Samba at G Studios, in Brooklyn. After some BPM experimentation, we (Gary Atturio, sound engineer) and I decided to make the common BPM for all three rhythms 95 bpm.
Here is a clip of Martin recording Cumbia maracas at G Studios in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
The sounds will be running through a Max/MSP patch, connected to a Mega Arduino.
I also want to connect a screen that connects to the buttons. On the screen I want to display short descriptions and history of the instruments being played.
During this time I have also been interviewing different people in different areas of expertise.
- Fernando Nunez (Uruguayan percussionist)
- Yunior Terry Cabrera (Cuban percussionist and NYU professor, department of Musicology)
- David Samuels (chair, Ethnomusicology department- NYU)
- Diana Castro (UX/UI designer, NIME)

Tar and Gravel Roof Replacement
We have had 4-5 roofers come by and check out if it needs to be repaired or replaced. It can last a year or two longer, but we are thinking of putting a new roof on. Here is the problem. Some say you can't put a metal roof on, others say you can. Some say you can put composite shingles on, some say no.
We are looking at a galvalume metal roof that is screwed down. What is the best roof to put on a roof like this? Is metal ok or are we asking for trouble.
Thanks in advance
The low-slope panels we've seen all have hidden fasteners or hidden clips, and designed to prevent water from getting past the joints to where the fasteners attach the panels to the roof. If the panels are screwed through the surface that is exposed to the weather, then they are steep-roof material.
In a low-slope application, you have to expect that there will be an accumulation of snow on the surface, which can then be saturated by water. This then creates hydrostatic pressure which allows the water to push into any open holes or joints. Low-slope materials are designed to prevent such water from entering the area where the panels are fastened.
Hope that makes things clear.

Coalescing AI and IoT, Delegating Real world Use-Cases
FREMONT, CA: AI and IoT are technologies that are becoming popular, with many businesses already embracing them and investing in making them, a part of their products and procedures. Both techniques have a broad variety of applications, ranging from private use to optimizing business activities. The two technologies together are sure to transform the world.
The device's complexity has nothing to do with its IoT classification. The device may be as easy as a thermometer, float switch, or as complicated as a gas chromatograph. The critical factor is that it is directly or indirectly linked, to the Internet. Directly connected is quite apparent— it could be linked via a conventional ethernet cable, wifi, or any other traditional web interface, while the later one connects to a gateway using techniques such as Bluetooth or Zigbee. There are several explanations for the migration of data processing to the IoT computer as the processor: one is to assist in restricting network traffic as an IoT device can produce a vast quantity of information. Compared to the information streaming from all the IoT systems being tracked. The other is that the data's value is highly transient. In other words, it is necessary to process the information instantly, or its value falls to nothing. The AI system could be used to streamline product output by installing IoT equipment to monitor all reactor circumstances that might influence the process, such as temperatures, pressures, and flow rates.
When it comes to evaluating the information being gathered, AI makes the machines much "smarter." This removes the need for experts to run the tools and analyze the data in all but rare cases. Another critical use of AI and IoT would be in multi-omics, where information from gas chromatographic-mass spectrometers and liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometers or other device combinations can be used to visualize the considerable quantity of data generated in proteomics, metabolomics, and flux analysis testing.

The combination of the IoT and AI umbrellas indicates how one can speed up the analysis of complex data without the need of a field expert, while at the same time handling massive amounts of experimental data to extract meaning from data bits and provide different ways for imaging information.

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett is a very long book. I struggled to finish it, I fought with myself and almost debated on putting it down, but I cannot entirely do that with a book that I've started unless it is completely and utterly horrible. This, however, is not horrible, it reminds me of a soap-opera. Drama, drama and drama stacked upon more drama. There is rape, murders, revenge, greed, power, love triangles, witches, politics, knights, and quite a bit of architecture.
The story, the main line of the story, follows through three generations of a family of stone masons, extended family through marriage, re-marrying, and various other events. Several kings, monk/prior, morally questionable bishop, ruthless Earl all affect these individuals. The inter-relationships are constantly evolving between this group of people, EVERYTHING that could happen somehow happens to this one core group of people within this book. Every time that you think things are going to settle down, that they are going to have a few moments of peace and quiet something else happens to them.
We also get quite a decent view of medieval culture, with a major focus on religion and the political power of monastery, priory, or diocese – life is funded and how much it seriously stinks to be amongst the lowest ranks of society. Cathedrals, this one type of building holds so much focus throughout this book, in fact it is Tom Builder's one goal to finally build a cathedral. The musings of Ken Follett in the Foreward of this book states that one of the things that he could not understand is why people in time of great destitution would put so much time, energy and resources into buildings of such a scale, this topic is one of the ones addressed in this book. There is a lot to learn about architecture and the evolution of cathedral-building throughout this book. By the time you are done you will know quite a bit about the following parts of a cathedral: nave, chancel, transept, cloister, and clerestory, as well as be able to use several different words for "horse."
I started reading and at first could only get through about 5-10% at a time (reading on my Kindle), I considered giving up more than once, but when I hit the fifty percent mark, I forced myself to work through the remainder of it in two nights finishing the last 50% in two parts. The building is constant and is the main reason to keep the central family of masons from wandering off and having more illicit marriages, and it is the ongoing reason political power struggles. You might give some of the characters labels and you will change the labels that you give them multiple times throughout the story, and wonder more often than not wonder what else could possibly happen to these people.
I don't like that the big climax came with just about 100 or so pages left to go, and that kinda sucked because the rise and fall of the wrap-up shouldn't necessarily need 100 pages, because it tends to lose focus, and while lose ends are nicely tide up, you lose the gripping-page turner that you had within the first like 900 pages of the book, but since you are so close you will find that you will just plow through it.

Selling your home is rarely an easy process. Depending on how long you have lived there, you may have drastic purging to do, including cleaning out garages, closets, crawl spaces and other places where you store useless items. You may have minor repairs and cosmetic work to do to improve the appeal of your home, and you will certainly have what may seem like endless packing to do.
One element you may overlook is settling the boundary dispute with your neighbor. Home buyers already know that families next door can be difficult to get to know, and they may quickly lose interest in your property if you are at war with your neighbors over the property line. The best course of action is to settle the matter before you put your house on the market.
How to determine your boundaries
Boundary disputes are the stuff of lawsuits. This is not an attractive prospect for your prospective buyers. An ill-defined property line can mean more than simply how far over to mow the lawn. It can decide where to build a shed, install a fence or extend a room. Moreover, you may discover that an improvement you have made already encroaches on your neighbor's land or vice versa, and this could mean more trouble than you imagined if your potential buyer's survey discovers the error.
It's not a good idea to go by the information your realtor shared when he or she walked you through the property when you were the potential buyer. There are numerous places where you can look to find a more accurate representation of the boundaries of your property, including these:
- The survey you commissioned when you bought the home
- The plat map from the title company that did your title report
- A copy of the plat map available at the office of your city clerk
- Plat maps posted online by your county or township agencies
If none of these is available, you may simply hire a land surveyor to measure the property and place markers at its boundaries. Once you have gathered the proof of where your property line is, you can try speaking with your neighbor to resolve the dispute. This may involve the assistance of a Wisconsin attorney who can advise you on drafting a lot line agreement that will legally acknowledge the property lines.
It is possible your neighbor will not concede to your lot line agreement, in which case you may try mediation to reach an understanding about the land in dispute. Resolving the matter before putting your house on the market will remove one more complication from an already stressful process.

Kids' tech center celebrates 2 years with showcase
Digital Harbor Foundation created center for kids to learn
It's been two years since the Digital Harbor Foundation started giving children an option for something to do after school, and now students are getting ready to share their creations with the community.
Mobile users tap here to watch video
Many adults wouldn't know how to build robots and other technology, but the items recently created at the Digital Harbor Foundation Tech Center were designed, created and built by kids as young as 6 years old.
When the South Baltimore Rec Center closed its doors two years ago, Andrew Coy opened a whole one in the form of an after-school program for kids to learn.
"The kids are engaging with all sorts of innovative tools. They are creating and making and having fun," Coy said.
Student Sierra Seabrease was given a challenge: to take a piano left behind when the rec center closed and do something with it. She turned it into a jukebox, and the experience turned her into an inventor.
"I really want to work with technology now. I didn't want to before. I'm really hands-on, so when building this, I was always in something," Seabrease said.
The tech center is alive with ideas, and the students are making them a reality. For example, the students are creating anything from prosthetics to cookie cutters with 3D printers.
"What I had to do was make this 3D adapter," said 12-year-old Angus Gatlin, who used the 3D printer to make a motorized remote-control skateboard. "I really wanted to learn more. It really sparked my learning."
To celebrate its two-year anniversary, the Digital Harbor Foundation will hold a showcase next week, which is what the kids are working on. It's their chance to show off their projects.
"It puts them in dialogue with adults about technology. They are explaining things to others about how they did something, and those interpersonal skills are incredibly valuable," Coy said.
In the past year, the Digital Harbor Foundation has worked with 500 students, and the instructors are just as excited to see what the place creates next.
When the kids have their showcase next week, they'll announce what new programs will be available for children in 2015. The showcase is from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday.

Our Slice of Paradise36x60oil on canvasNFS My son's school asked for an even larger painting than the 48 incher I donated last year. It is the main fundraiser of the year at school and I am pleased to help. They asked for a beach scene here in Montecito which suits me perfectly being that I grew up just a stones throw from these waters. I will do some minor finishing touches and hand the painting over next week. Lets hope it fetches a nice sum of money for all those pencils and books they need up there.
