Better known to the world as Dick Morrissey, he was self-taught and started playing clarinet in his school band, The Delta City Jazzmen, at the age of sixteen with fellow pupils Robin Mayhew, Eric Archer, Steve Pennells, Glyn Greenfield and young brother Chris on tea-chest bass. He then joined the Original Climax Jazz Band. This stint he followed with becoming a member of the Gus Galbraith Septet and was introduced to Charlie Parker by alto-sax player Peter King. This prompted him to begin specializing on tenor saxophone.

It featured pianist Stan Jones, drummer Colin Barnes, and The Jazz Couriers founding member bassist Malcolm Cecil.

Returning to the UK Dick formed a quartet with Harry Smith, Phil Bates, Bill Eyden, Jackie Dougan or Phil Seamen. They recorded three albums between 1963 and 1966,played regular gigs at The Bull's Head and Ronnie Scott's, and played with Ian Hamer, South and

He would go on to tour and/or record with visiting musicians Brother Jack McDuff, Jimmy Witherspoon, J. J. Jackson, Sonny Stitt and Ernest Ranglin. He would win many Melody Maker Jazz Polls, toured and recorded with Average White Band, team up with guitarist Jim Mullen of Brian Auger's Oblivion Express and released seven albums of their 16-year association.
Throughout his career as a leader of his own combos, Morrissey he was an in-demand musician playing with Tubby hayes, Bill LeSage, Roy Budd, Charlie Watts, Georgie Fame, Anie Ross, Dusty Springfield, Paul McCartney, Freddie Mack, Orange Juice, Herbie Mann, Shakatak, Peter Gabriel, David Fathead Newman, Boz Scaggs, Johnny Griffin, David Sanborn, Steve Gadd, Richard Tee, Billy Cobham, The Brecker Brothers, Sonny Fortune, Teddy Edwards and the list of players goes on and on. He is known for playing the haunting saxophone solo on the Vangelis composition Love Theme for the 1982 film Blade Runner.

text: Guest FaithDefender619 Report post Posted December 12, 2009 Hello all, I've posed this question to atheist on myspace, youtube, allhiphop.com's fourms and usually have gotten the same answer. Maybe I can get a different answer here. Since many atheist will tout the reliability of science (evolution/big bang/global warming) and so on I have a few questions to ask which will sum up to one basic question 1. Have you ever done the scientific experiments that you tout as being true? 2. Have you ever taken part in the peer review process? 3. Have you had any first hand contact with the evidence that supposedly supports evolution/big bang/global warming 4. Do you have access to the original test notes, know the processes used in doing the experiments, reviewed the source code for computer models etc? 5. Can you be 100% sure that money, politics or a combination of the two didn't have a factor in the outcome of that science Since for the most part the answer is no, doesn't this simply equate to science is true because the scientist say so, which in turn equates to a religion or at the very least blind faith?

Zach McCabe made headlines this past season when he snapped at a criticizing fan on Twitter. The incident prompted Iowa Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffery to take away the team's Twitter 'privileges' for the rest of the year. That seemed like it would be the end of McCabe's fan interaction, but it was certainly not.
To cap his Hawkeye career, McCabe has alleged assaulted someone at an Iowa City bar. There was a report on Deadspin pointing to the fan possibly having harassed the forward on Twitter, but what we know for sure is that the man tried to break up an argument between McCabe and a girl.
After a bit of interaction McCabe apparently punched the man in the face, knocked him to the ground and blew him a kiss on his way out of the bar. The former Hawkeye then apparently turned himself into police the next day.
So while this sounds like just another funny bar incident, it's kind of sad for McCabe. Fans won't really care at this point because he's no longer a part of team, but it's still not the way a player wants to end his career. Fans will now associate this incident and the one on Twitter with McCabe more closely than anything he did on the court in 2013-14.
McCabe was always just an okay basketball player who would show flashes of being more than just a hustler from time to time. He played solid minutes over the last few years, but fans certainly won't miss him in the future.

As the sound and the wind of the water brushed my ears at Niagara Falls in Buffalo, NY, the magfinicent power that came from the rush of the waters made me now realize that this flowing power of water is just another example of what can operate through me.

So, if you feel stagnate, restless, fearful or confused, try stopping for a few minutes and listen to and feel your heart beat. Listen to your breath. Feel the tingle from the energy in your hands and feet, chest, and stomach. What you feel is Life - strong, unwavering and unprecedented Life! We not only have the power to experience whatever beautiful thing we want in this Universe, but we have the love, the peace and the enthusiasm that carries our creativity.

James Joyce's Ulysses stands today as one of the most critically lauded novels ever written – despite the fact that it's difficult to read and more difficult to understand – which has, to some extent, papered over its tortuous path to the marketplace. When Joyce was first writing the novel, it was serialized in parts in a literary periodical called The Little Review, which then ran afoul of U.S. obscenity laws, leading eventually to the book's banning before it had even been published. In 1933, Random House, at the time a relatively new publisher founded by the owners of the Modern Library imprint, decided to publish Ulysses and force a judicial hearing on the book's legality. In the resulting case, United States v. One Book Called Ulysses, Judge John Woolsey ruled that Ulysses was not obscene, marking one of the first big victories against U.S. obscenity laws, including the Comstock Act, which made sending materials deemed obscene through the mails a federal crime.
Kevin Birmingham recounts the legal battles over Ulysses in The Most Dangerous Book: The Battle for James Joyce's Ulysses, weaving that story into one about the book's original authorship, including Joyce's health problems and eccentricities. The book may have gone a bit overboard in detailing Joyce's personal life – I really didn't need to hear excerpts of the dirty letters he and his partner Nora sent to each other – but the details around the book's history and the Puritanical extremes of American laws at the time are indispensable to anyone who's ever read a banned book.
Joyce is a giant among authors today for all four of his major works, but had difficulty finding a publisher for his first novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, or his collection of short stories, Dubliners, each of which also ran afoul of authorities but also lacked any obvious commercial appeal. Even when published, the works languished on the market for several years, leaving Joyce, obsessed with his novel and spending what money he had on drink, financially dependent on various patrons who wished to see Ulysses completed. He began writing the book in 1914, published the first episode in The Little Review in 1918, and saw the novel published as a whole in 1922 by Sylvia Beach, the owner of Paris bookshop Shakespeare & Co. (The Paris bookshop by that name today is named for Beach's shop, which closed in 1941 after Beach was sent to an internment camp.) Copies of the banned book circulated for nearly a decade, with multiple seizures and burnings by overzealous authorities, until the 1933 ruling that cleared the way for its publication and unlikely status as a bestseller.
Joyce received some money from the serialization but wasn't always aware of the self-censorship of his sort-of friend and advocate Ezra Pound, who looms large in the book for his role in spreading the gospel of Joyce while appearing to hold a sort of professional jealousy of the Irishman. Even the first full edition of Ulysses was rife with mistakes – Wikipedia cites Joyce scholar Jack Dalton as saying it contained "over two thousand errors" – and its publication history has always been complicated by Joyce's deliberately obscure prose and the messy handwritten manuscript he handed over to a series of typists as he was writing. The attempts of Pound and others to soften the parts of Joyce's work deemed "offensive" were futile, as Joyce wanted the book to offend, both because he wrote much of this novel (the first major work of modernism) to resemble thought in the mind before it became formal speech, and because he had a puerile obsession with bodily functions.
Yet the Nausicaa episode, the one at the heart of the eventual trial, is also one of the book's most literary and most abstruse to readers. Leopold Bloom masturbates as he watches a young woman sitting on the beach, exposing her legs and bloomers to him deliberately when she realizes he's looking at her, but Joyce couches it in obscure language and makes it unclear how much of the episode is real and how much is happening in Bloom's mind. Similarly, the final episode, Penelope, is a fifty-page internal monologue from Molly Bloom, Leopold's wife, broken into just eight sentences (and with only two periods at that), where, among other things, she admits she was "fucked yes and damn well fucked" by another man, yet the "obscenity" is so thoroughly buried within the long, hard-to-follow text, that arguments around its offensiveness had to isolate the "dirty" parts rather than considering them as a whole – because, in reality, if you read the work straight through to try to get to anything salacious you'd be too exhausted to be titillated by the handful of descriptions of sex. Those arguments eventually carried the day in Woolsley's oft-reprinted opinion on the matter.
Birmingham gives great detail on the business end of Ulysses, from its publication history to smuggling efforts to get it around censorship in the U.S. and eventually Great Britain, as well as much information on the fundamentalists in various anti-vice societies who helped write and enforce the draconian laws that could ban a book on the basis of a single complaint. The founder of the New York Society of the Suppression of Vice, Anthony Comstock (later U.S. Postal Inspector), and his successor, John Sumner, abused powers they should never have been granted, trampling on the First Amendment to censor and destroy any materials they found objectionable, including early works on contraception and abortion. While Comstock died before the first episode of Ulysses appeared in print, he set up the regime that allowed Sumner and others to suppress the book in part or whole for fifteen years, even though by 1923 it had been widely praised (and panned) by well-known authors, poets, and literary critics. These passages end up some of the strongest in Birmingham's book, better than the details of Joyce's life with Nora, as is the brief section on the beginnings of Finnegans Wake, Joyce's last novel and one of the most difficult reads in English literature (or so I'm told, since I never got past page one).
Around the same time I listened to Birmingham's book on audio, I read Eimear McBride's A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing, winner of the 2014 Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction, and a book so heavily inspired by Joyce's Ulysses it felt highly derivative to me. McBride writes in a style that mimics Joyce's pre-speech efforts – McBride herself has said she wanted to voice thought before it became thought – to tell the story of a girl whose brother undergoes a drastic surgery to remove a brain tumor when he's still a toddler (before she's born), an event that shapes her entire life as well. The narrator's destructive relationship with her born-again mother (the book has a strongly anti-religious bent) leads to her having sex with her uncle at 13, going to college, becoming a promiscuous alcoholic, being raped twice, and pulling an Edna Pontellier. Beyond the aggravating prose, the book is one-note, dismal and hopeless, the story of a path determined before birth, a girl who can only gain agency by destroying herself. It may be realistic, but that doesn't make it something I'd want to read.

This has been quite an eventful week, and it's only Wednesday. The week started with a crash and a bang on Sunday evening when my precious girl did this:
She broke her forearm by performing some sort of gymnastics on her bed. It must have been some dismount! I heard the crash landing and then moments later my baby came to the stairs clutching a lifeless and impossibly bent arm. It was horrifying. Thank God, M was home and was able to rush her to the ER, while I stayed back with the little ones. Pure torture, but nonetheless she was in great hands. Unfortunately, it was her dominant arm, so it looks like I'm going to be getting a refresher course in 4th grade math and spelling!
Later that night, once she was home safe and sleeping soundly (thank you morphine!), I found myself tearing up in bed. I was so thankful that she was ok, but it made me think of all the families who struggle with kids who aren't ok. Those with kids who are sick and suffering, and desperately in need of hope. Sometimes I don't understand the role of suffering, but I am so grateful for the times that God spares us from it. This was one of those times.
To top it off, S came down with a terrible ear infection, and I had to pay $300 for a healthy puppy visit to the vet. Apparently my dog's halitosis needs to be cured with an anesthetized tooth cleaning. At a mere $600 . And I thought he smelled because he eats his poop. Well, that shows how much I know!
I will be so grateful when this week is over, provided there isn't any more calamity in store. Yes, I consider a $300 vet bill a calamity. I always was a bit prone to exaggeration.

If you're moving to one of these countries be aware that you could potentially pay annual wealth tax on top of income tax. You could also be liable if you remain resident in the UK but hold high-value assets in France, Spain or Portugal.
Who'll pay wealth tax?
Whether you have to pay wealth tax or not depends on the value of the capital assets you own, not your income. This can include real estate, savings and investments, jewellery, art, furniture, cars and boats. In Portugal, it only applies to property that isn't used for tourist, commercial, industrial or agricultural purposes.
As a result, people who have a low income but own a high-value home, for example, can find this a difficult tax to pay. It can prove to be an expensive tax for anyone unprepared for it.
French wealth tax
If you're resident in France and the total value of your household's worldwide assets is over €1.3 million, you'll be liable for French wealth tax on the value of your assets over €800,000. Non-residents only have to pay wealth tax if they have French assets valued over the €1.3 million threshold.
Although wealth tax is triggered at €1.3 million, it's only the first €800,000 of the combined value that's tax-free. You'll need to pay between 0.5% and 1.5% on anything over this each year.
Spanish wealth tax
In Spain, wealth tax was reinstated in 2011 as a temporary measure but it's still in place for the 2017 tax year at least. It could affect you if your combined worldwide assets (for residents) or Spanish assets (for non-residents) are worth over €700,000. What you'll pay can vary according the region of Spain in which you or your assets are based, but it ranges from 0.2% to 3.5%.
There's a tax-free allowance of €700,000 per person, plus €300,000 for Spanish residents against the value of their main home. This can be doubled for couples.
Portuguese wealth tax
Portugal's version of wealth tax affects those whose ownership of Portuguese property is worth over €600,000, regardless of where they are resident. Rates are 0.4% for properties held by companies, 0.7% for individuals and 1% for those whose share in Portuguese property goes over €1 million.
There is a €600,000 allowance deducted from the value of all Portuguese properties owned by individuals, but not companies. So married couples and civil partners, for example, can have a combined allowance of €1,200,000 on their home before the tax is due. However, some types of owners, such as certain companies, aren't eligible for any allowance at all and will be liable for wealth tax on the full value of all properties owned.
How we can help with wealth tax advice
There may be steps you can take to reduce your wealth tax liability, or eliminate it completely, particularly on your investment assets. If you haven't moved to France or Spain yet, you can get the most benefit by taking our professional advice before you move.
We can help you understand how the French, Spanish and Portuguese wealth tax rates, rules and allowances affect you. We can then structure your assets in the most effective way to legitimately shelter them from wealth tax, as well as the other taxes in these countries.
Tax rates, scope and reliefs may change. Any statements concerning taxation are based upon our understanding of current taxation laws and practices which are subject to change. Tax information has been summarised; individuals are advised to seek personalised advice.

OPINION: A crisis puts life in perspective
Posted by
Margie Richards
Thursday, June 3. 2010
Comment (1)
Crises – we all have them and we all dread them – and with good reason. A crisis can take an ordinary day and change it in an instance, and almost always not in a good way.
That's what happened to my family May 19. Wednesday morning is usually a quiet one for me – the Journal office is closed so I work from home, and/or take care of housework, doctor's appointments, etc.
It was a morning like that last Wednesday, when the phone rang. Charles, who was at work, called to tell me he was coming home because his "back was killing him" and he felt sick.
Now, for any who know my husband, you know that if he admits to pain — and if he hurts bad enough to leave work — it's bad.
Later, on our way to the doctor, he was hurting worse than I'd ever seen him. I followed my instincts and pulled over at the EMS station in Danielsville.
It was so good to see familiar faces come out that door at my request for help. They were professional, courteous and kind and I had no doubt he was in good hands as they loaded him up and whisked him away to the hospital.
Later in the emergency room, family and friends called and came by, and we were all relieved to eventually find out it was a kidney stone (his first, and hopefully his last) – not a good thing – but something we could handle.
Three of the EMTs who'd brought him in or assisted us when we came to the station — Kevin Cheek, Millie Temple and Ronnie Thompson — came by to check on us while on subsequent calls to the emergency room.
And I will never forget, Kevin (who also moonlights as a DJ and who'll be providing the music at our daughter Miranda's wedding this weekend), telling Charles that "we have a wedding to go to in a few days; we don't need to be doing this" as he hooked him up to an IV line in the ambulance.
Later, back at home, with more phone calls and visits, I was struck, and certainly not for the first time, about how nice it is to be part of a small community such as ours. We may squabble among ourselves, but when there's a need, we come together.
And so it is that crises, as bad as they can be, can also be blessings in disguise, for they help us bring things into perspective by sweeping away the clutter of life. During a crisis, we get right to the core of what is important and true in our lives. On that long ride to the hospital that morning, I was not thinking of anything but what was important – I wanted to be with my husband, contact my children, I wanted to hear the voices of my family, my friends. I wanted to know God was there, with us. These were feelings as old and instinctual as any I've ever felt.
Like WWII veteran Lloyd Carter (featured in last week's Journal) told me during my visit with him recently – we can't get along without each other. A touch, a word, a kindness from another are all as necessary as the air we breathe, especially when things go bad, whether we admit it or not. Without those things, we are lost in a world that is often as cold as stone.
I'm thankful that my family and I received such sustenance from friend and stranger alike recently.
Thanks to you all – and God bless you.

Your story revived a memory from my working days. A colleague was having kidney stone problems and before I could bite my tongue I said, "This too shall pass!"
Fortunately he was in too much pain to punch me just then.
I wish your husband a speedy and complete recovery!

The campaign includes TV advertising for six weeks, in which Mayall plays the role of The Bombardier in an historical battle scene.
It also includes longer-form video content for the web, in-outlet activity and social media.
"Marketing in the ale category needs a creative shake-up," said marketing director Chris Lewis.
"There are too many woolly jumpers and cosy corners that patronise our drinkers.
"Creating The Bombardier, and bringing Rik Mayall in to play him, is our way of adding some creative flair and humour to ale advertising."

Brook Berringer, who spent his senior year as a back-up quarterback, was such an uncommon young man, Nebraska erected a statue of him in front of its stadium.
BTN tells his story in a moving documentary, "Unbeaten: The Life of Brook Berringer." The film airs Saturday after the Nebraska-Northwestern game at approximately 10:30 p.m. ET. It also re-airs Monday at 9 p.m. ET
Berringer began the 1994 season as the Huskers' backup quarterback but was thrust into the starting role when Heisman Trophy candidate Tommie Frazier was diagnosed with blood clots. Berringer helped lead the team to seven straight wins and a berth in the Orange Bowl against Miami. While Frazier returned to start the game, Berringer entered in the second quarter and helped spark a comeback. The win capped off the undefeated season, and gave Nebraska Head Coach Tom Osborne his first National Championship.
As the 1995 season dawned, Berringer and Frazier engaged in a spirited battle for the starting job – a job that Frazier eventually won by a narrow margin. Berringer selflessly accepted his backup role that season, as Frazier and the Huskers rolled to a second straight National Championship.
Berringer had his eyes set on a pro football career. However, just two days before the 1996 NFL draft, he lost control of the two-seater plane he was piloting and died when it crashed. He was 22 years old.
His death rocked Nebraska. Berringer had been widely admired for his attitude on the field and how he represented the Cornhuskers off the field.
"Brook was way ahead of his time," said Bill Friedman, BTN' coordinating producer for original programming. "He built a reputation for giving back, and he is beloved because so many think he represents what a Nebraskan should be. His life is a great college football story that happens to take place in Nebraska."
"Unbeaten" features rare, archival footage of Berringer on camera, highlights of some key Nebraska games leading up to the National Championship and interviews with Frazier, Osborne, and Brook's mother, Jan Berringer, who shares some of the thousands of letters she received in the wake of his passing.
The final scene is especially powerful. The BTN Originals crew was in Lincoln in September, when the 1994 championship team was honored prior to the Huskers' game against Miami. The crew captured exclusive footage and an interview with Berringer's teenage nephew, who walked onto the field wearing a No. 18 jersey in honor of the uncle he never met.

Cordless Blinds, Shades & Window Treatments
- The safest bet in blinds and shades
- Child and pet friendly without cords
- Clean, elegant look without cord clutter
- Gentle push/pull lift from bottom rail
- Simple, convenient operation
Cordless blinds and shades offer a convenient and safe option now available on most styles of window treatments. Instead of a traditional lift cord, the shade is operated with a gentle push or pull on the bottom rail to position the shade at any height. With no dangling cords, shades are safer for children and pets and have a clean, uncluttered look. Simply select the cordless option when customizing your shade and be sure you can reach the window at the maximum height you would raise the shade - if not, consider a motorized window treatment.

customer reviews for cordless
"one of best things ever bought"
By Kathy from Clinton Twp
I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am with my solar shade. My living room window faces south so I have sun pouring in the window all day.View this product
By David from Halfmoon Bay
We ordered 13 motorized shades - not only was the price a fraction of our local dealer - they are excellent quality and exactly what we wanted. The only negative is the poor instructions for programming the Somfy remote controls. When there are 13 blinds in two rooms and two remotes - the instructions are poor. After a lot of time on the internet I finally had to call Somfy customer service - and they walked me through it- they were excellent and prompt.View this product

Create these easy DIY pineapple inspired wine charms for your next summer event!
One of the most iconic summer fruits is the pineapple. Yes, watermelons are up there too but I'm more of a pineapple person. I've seen so many great pineapple themed projects and recipes this summer that I thought it would be fun to have a week long pineapple theme. I'll be sharing crafts, recipes, home decor all related to the pineapple. I'm kicking off pineapple week sharing my diy pineapple inspired wine charms on a blog hop hosted by Crystal of The Weathered Fox. Crystal is also hosting her own pineapple week on her blog, so be sure to check out her blog all week long for other great pineapple themed projects and recipes.
For these super dooper easy diy wine charms, I used leftover yellow bone beads from my diy bead vases and green silky tassels. The bone beads reminded me so much of pineapples. The carvings mimic the details on a pineapple and help in creating this pineapple inspired diy project. Of course the tassel is a great summer look, but the diy wine charm can be used all year long. Here is what you need to create your own set of diy pineapple inspired wine charms.
DIY Pineapple Wine Charms
What You Need:
- Hoop rings (find at the jewelry section of craft store)
- Yellow Indian bone beads (I got mine here)
- Wood beads or brown bone beads
- Gold beads
- Green silky tassels
Using green silky thread, create a stack of the tassel followed by the brown/wood bead and the yellow bone bead. Tie a knot with the silky thread as close to the bottom of the yellow bone bead to secure the beads in place. Snip the excess thread. Attach the tassel to the hoop by threading the loop into the backside of the tassel. I inserted the hook right into the backside middle portion of the tassel.
Use the gold and wood tone beads to add some personality to each pineapple ring. This also helps differentiate each of the wine glass charms for guests. My sister is particularly bad at remembering where she left her wine glass. She has drank from almost every family member's wine at least once. You would think that she was doing it on purpose, but she really is in need of a charm to keep track of her wine glass. What better way to keep an eye on your wine glass than these cute diy inspired pineapple wine glass charms.
Let's continue with the great pineapple ideas by hopping to these other blogs. Remember to come back here tomorrow for a new pineapple theme idea ready for you to recreate. Click here to go to Day 2!

Sit, Stand or Stand on your Head
We as a nation are bigger than that, stand, sit, stand on your head. It matters not to me as my nation will not fall as a result of a football player, dancer, actor or any protester that uses the right to protest to gain attention. Only the amount of attention that one gives to such an effort regardless of the protest is the cancer that will damage us.
Using this as a political tool lessons the meaning of why we stand and who we stand for. Each of us stand for different reasons from family, services to county and nation. Failure to stand for anything leaves you standing for nothing.

A couple of weeks ago I began a painting of Church Point at Newbiggin by the Sea. After spending several hours working from a small sketch in my sketch book I decided I didn't like the work, so this morning I began again. I resizing the image and added brighter purer colour. You can still see the original painting on the first image. I'm not done yet and intend to make this a mixed media piece. I've used acrylic to create the base colour and will build on that using oilbar, alkyd colours and possibly some collaged material. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

This is my first fan fiction story. I found the characters and storyline in Lost Odyssey so engaging that I was sorry to finish the game. Jansen is my favorite character and this was one of my favorite scenes. The chemistry and tension between he and Ming were just magical. Hope you enjoy!
Confession on the White Boa
Jansen had wanted to get away from the others and talk to Ming alone. About what, he wasn't sure, but it compelled him to search the ship to find her. The brief exchange in her queen's chambers had left him unsettled. Kaim's insistence that Ming would have to choose confused him. Choose what? She had given Jansen an odd look before she left which gave him the distinct feeling that there was still some unfinished business between them.
As he stepped gingerly onto the main deck of the vessel, the salty scent of the ocean unexpectedly invigorated him. Having spent most of his adult life wandering through various cities in the northern continent, he considered himself a confirmed urban dweller. He enjoyed the pleasures of nightlife easily found in large populous centers such as the Uhran capital. His recent travels represented the first time that he had spent any substantial period away from the city—save for his foolhardy attempt as a youth to traverse the frozen north in search of a magic spell. The occasional burning from the deep scar he still bore from the blue dragon encounter, as well as its associated painful memories, were enough to ward him away from embarking on any subsequent risk-taking journeys in his adulthood. He absently fingered the silk scarf that covered the mark on his neck. So much for that man card, he thought.
After that disaster, he intentionally avoided venturing anywhere more dangerous than the local watering hole or gambling joint. Life had been easy, carefree and full of wine and women. That is, until a run of bad luck in Uhra had forced him to accept the gold offered by Gongora. He initially resented joining Kaim and Seth on their dangerous mission to Grand Staff. The recent adventure, however, was proving more rewarding than he anticipated. He had met Ming in the process.
A mild summer breeze warmed his face as he crossed the deck and the amber light of the fading sunset bathed the scenery in an ethereal glow. He heard seagulls in the background. The scene was tranquil and uncharacteristically he could almost imagine himself living a quiet life in the port town…almost. As he made his way towards the bow of the ship, he finally spotted her. She was facing away from him, staring out over the Numaran harbor deep in thought, perhaps contemplating the recent turn of events.
He wondered whether to disturb her but felt a pressing need to speak to her. He paused a moment to admire her slight yet curvaceous figure framed by the waning rays of the sun. What a woman! Her silhouette was regal, beautiful, and her manner so unlike the usual female companions in his life. The last several weeks travelling with her had made him appreciate the close bond that had formed between them, so different from his many fleeting superficial relationships with women in the past. She had saved his life in the train and yet thanked him afterwards for returning her memories. She assuredly possessed stronger magic than his and it made him feel a little inadequate. She also seemed immune to the flattery that had always seemed to work in the past to charm women. Jansen had never known anyone like her. He didn't know what to make of the strange turmoil of feelings within him or how to express them. Besides, she was a queen and probably used to constant admiration—probably expected it from her subjects. His normal bravado left him. He almost turned away to go, but thought better of it. Raising his hand to his forehead, he absently smoothed his hair then he cleared his throat.
Ming turned around and looked at him wonderingly. She didn't seem surprised at all to see him. He felt at a loss for words. What was he going to say?
"Do you really mean it?" Jansen blurted out suddenly.
Ming hesitated and then answered seriously. "I can't say what Gongora has planned." She looked downward. "For him to remain in this world for his own selfish ends…" Her voice trailed away.
Ming returned her gaze to the harbor and the sprawling capital of Numara, pensively remembering how Gongora had forced her to seal off her memories in exchange for sparing her people from harm. The memory now full-blown made her realize the importance of stopping him but she knew that in doing so she may need to return to her home world. That would mean leaving behind all that had become dear to her here—something that she could not bear to do.
She recalled the events of the millennium as if being wakened from a long dream. After wandering for years in exile, initially shunned because of the powerful magic energy she wielded, she had founded the city state of Numara on an inhospitable island and subsequently spent centuries protecting its citizens. She nurtured the sophisticated arts and culture for which the nation eventually became reknowned. She did this largely alone, not from desire but from necessity. Over the years, she had witnessed a legion of suitors from various kingdoms eager to propose marriage to the eternally youthful queen but she had been reticent to form convenient political alliances. She had been foolish once early in her reign but learned from her mistake. She trusted no one now and the barrier had remained strong until Gongora had caught her in a moment of weakness. As a consequence, the past 30 years were lost and her country had suffered because of it. She felt a need to stay for her people's sake. However, she was not ignorant of the danger in leaving open the connection between this world and her home world. Something needed to be done to stem the flow of magic energy. Her power would be required to defeat him and close the portal.
"Not about him…about you." Jansen said.
His voice awoke Ming from her reverie. Jansen walked toward the railing and stood next to her, his right hand raised in exasperation. He followed her gaze to the city and sighed.
"Don't you want to stay and save Numara?" he asked. Jansen wondered why it was so important to him for her to answer this question.
Ming closed her eyes. There was another reason to stay. For weeks she had been trying to ignore it, this flickering of something deep within her that she hadn't felt for centuries. The frozen barricade that she had carefully constructed between herself and the outside world had melted away in a single moment of desperate emotion in that train with Jansen, unsealing her memories and unlocking a place in her heart that she had all but forgotten. She had spent the last hour on the deck contemplating her choices and the implications of her decision. The fact that Jansen had come to her seemed to be a sign. Ming slowly moved away from the railing and turned to face him.
"There's something else to stay for too," she replied.
Ming walked toward him. She could feel the warmth emanating from his tall lean body and felt the sudden need to share her emotions. She raised her right hand to feel the roughness of his cheek while she gazed up into his questioning brown eyes. She studied him for a moment before raising her other hand to cradle his face tenderly, gently brushing the stray lock of hair from his face. His masculine scent was overwhelming her with a need to be close to him and she closed her eyes and raised herself on tiptoes to meet his lips in a gentle searching kiss.
Whoa, what's this? Jansen hadn't seen this coming. For a few seconds, he was unable to respond, unable to comprehend why this beautiful, enchanting woman—no, queen!—was kissing him. However, the softness of her lips and the jasmine scent in her hair seduced him into closing his eyes and giving himself up to the moment. He raised his arms to embrace her slight waist and mold the curves of her body to his. He felt drunk and giddy. Their kiss deepened as the sun slowly lowered in the evening sky. Several long moments passed before Ming slowly moved away, her hands still cradling his face. Her eyes opened to meet his gaze. She was looking back at him with a softness, tenderness and deep feeling that unexpectedly moved him. His heart seemed to be beating at the level of his throat. No one had ever looked at him that way before.
"I'm so glad I met you," she said simply.
"Uhh..wha…I…uh..I…" He was suddenly brought back down to reality. He didn't quite understand what had just happened between them. He turned his head right, then left, terribly confused. He turned around to see whom she was talking to (maybe Kaim?), unable to look her straight in the face. She couldn't really mean him for God's sake—that was crazy!
Shaking in disbelief, he bent down to whisper to her, half-covering his face with his right hand as if sharing with her a secret.
"A…A...A bum…like me?" he asked, incredulously. Good joke, he thought.
Ming looked at him with wide innocent eyes. He suddenly felt contrite—he didn't mean to hurt her feelings if she was really being serious.
"I…I'm sorry. I'm not used to this." Holy crap, Jansen thought, maybe she was serious?
Jansen rambled on nervously. "You know, get—getting all serious like this and..." He stared down at his hands, his face knotted in worry. "Well, I mean…You. See, you're a queen. Um…ah…you've got a castle, you know. Own your own country. .." He tried to sort out his muddled thoughts. Was he trying to convince her of how unworthy and how unsuitable he was, and how she must be confused—just like himself? Or…did he…did he… did he love her?
Ming was amused. Jansen seemed worried, apprehensive, and even apologetic. So unlike his usual impulsive self, she thought. She had noticed the change in his demeanor whenever he was around her. She was well aware of his previous rakish behavior with women in the past and had been careful not to place herself in potentially compromising situations with him. After the bar episode in Tosca, Seth had made it her duty as a friend to warn Ming about the mortal mage's many vices. Lately, however, Jansen had been exhibiting a more gentlemanly conduct toward her. After the train incident, she had been severely drained both physically and mentally. He hadn't made any moves during their time alone in the scrap dungeon to take advantage of that situation. He had been very proper which, curiously enough, had greatly disappointed her.
Jansen turned away after noticing Ming's faraway look and stared at the ground. How to deal with this? He walked around facing the sky, arguing with himself and the seagulls overhead.
"You know and…and I…I'm serious when I fall in love." He was absolutely terrified of that possibility. "Uh…and I mean, you know…I don't play around like that, you know." He turned away and knelt to the ground, trying to make light of the matter. He did have some positive attributes, he thought. "I know I'm good-looking…kind of irresistible." As the words left his mouth, he realized how embarrassingly ridiculous he sounded.
"I…but...but…see…" he stuttered.
Ming covered her mouth and laughed, amused by his awkwardness and charmed by his boyish inability to speak coherently. This was the Jansen she adored.
"But see…I never thought you'd get serious about me." He stood up. He had half-hoped but couldn't imagine that she might have developed even the slightest bit of interest in him, particularly after his ill-conceived flattery and unsuccessful abduction attempt at their first meeting. He was such a loser! Even after they had been travelling alone together and camped out in the Gohtza scrap dungeon, he couldn't quite read her feelings. At first, he had been attracted to her by her obvious physical attributes but he had to admit that his feelings had recently become something much deeper. He felt protective of her even though she didn't need his protection. She was immortal and, oh hell, he was the one needing the saving all the time. However, it didn't stop him from feeling a need to prove to her that he was a man who could be honorable and worthy of her. Given his inglorious past, though, he didn't know whether he would ever get that chance to redeem himself.
He turned toward her and resumed his aimless rambling. "And…and I got to tell you…I mean, you being an immortal and I'm just... you know, I'm just a regular guy…Ah, you know, good sense of humor, you know…but you know…I… you, see… you… I don't know what to say…" He lamented. "Help me."
"Shhh…" Ming replied as she stepped forward and put her finger to his lips to silence him. "So…queens shouldn't…fall in love?" She asked archly, raising her eyebrow.
"Oh…" he answered, finally defeated. He didn't know what to do. He sighed. Was this really happening to him? Never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined this. Had she really fallen for him? It would end badly. He would eventually grow old and die while she would stay young and beautiful forever. He paused and turned toward her. No words seemed appropriate.
Jansen gazed down on Ming's expectant face and her wide expressive eyes. In that instant, he thought he saw an image of their tragic future together and caught his breath. Despite this, he felt hopelessly drawn to her and couldn't look away. He gently placed his hand on her small shoulder. I'm a simple fool, he thought. As he moved forward to take her back into his arms, he heard a faint giggle in the background. The magic of the moment was broken.
He turned to look towards the entrance to the deck and suspected that the source of the sound was a four foot tall would-be pirate. He blushed and became at once both irritated and embarrassed.
"Kids…" He muttered.

biofuel sustainability Applications
Evaporation technology for biogas and biofuels industries
Combining industrial performance and sustainable development while remaining competitive requires that the biofuels and biogas industry ensure industrial process safety, reduce operational costs, implement solutions providing significant savings and comply with environmental regulations, which ultimately lead to the public's acceptance of a site.
By EVALED-Evaporator based in Zoppola (PN), ITALY.
Production of Biofuels from Microalgae
Production of biofuels from certain microalgae and cyanobacteria would appear to be the most promising alternative to current methods, since its yield is very high, sustainable, uses either wastewater, brackish or seawater, does not require the use of agricultural land, does not compete with human food and the cultivation process consumes the CO2noxious gas.
ALGAENERGY is responsibly paving the way towards making microalgal-based biofuels industrially profitable. The R&D projects assigned to this task include work on selection and genetic engineering of different microalgae to produce substantial lipid-carriers, some of them patented, as well as the establishment of a suitable and scalable production process.

I have been feeling quite overwhelmed in the last few weeks. I have taken on a lot of work, have been blogging more than ever, trying to keep my inbox as clean as possible and preparing for a speech that I will have to give tomorrow.
All of this has resulted in some sleepless nights, feelings of anxiety and the fear that I won't live up to everybody's expectations. After all, I want to make my employers and my readers as happy as possible, right? I want to answer your emails as thoughtfully and as detailed as I can and I don't want you to wait too long for my response. I want to give an amazing speech about all the possibilities and help that Internet forums can offer those who are affected by an eating disorder. I want to do research, rehearse my speech over and over again until I know it by heart. I want to write brilliant blog posts drafting them carefully and going over them repeatedly in order to see if the flow is just like I want it to be.
But at the same time, I only have so many hours in the day and even though I'd like to change that fact, I can't. I know that people are probably much more forgiving than I give them credit for and that they won't put as much thought as I do into the fact that they wait a week or two for my reply.
Yet, despite me trying to rationalize these thoughts, I still have this overpowering feeling of constant failure, of not doing and being enough and of disappointing everybody around me.
What does this have to do with recovery? Well, I think that we often put way too much pressure on ourselves during our way too health. We need to heal fast, without hiccups, going strong from the very first day until we have arrived at the ultimate goal. Our family and loved ones expect us to let go of our destructive behaviors immediately and they expect our minds to stop being under the influence of Ed.
So, we pressure ourselves into pretending that we're doing better than we actually are and we continue to play a role. This can add up to immense feelings of anxiety and doesn't do anything but harm our recovery.
Believe me when I tell you that I have been there. For months into my recovery, I wasn't able to leave my abuse of laxatives behind, nor did I make a lot of changes when it came to nutrition. But I lied about it. I lied to my husband, I lied to my parents and I lied to my therapists. What was the result? I felt horrible and helpless and I believed that I would never be able to recover and live a happy and healthy life. I thought that freedom was a state reserved for others, those who were stronger and better people altogether.
I bawled my eyes out for weeks and months despising myself and feeling like this was a mountain too big to climb for tiny little Anne-Sophie. When I decided to leave the program at the treatment facility, I was faced with the fact that I hadn't really made much progress. I thought a lot about how to move on from here. Would I give up and continue on the way towards my grave or would I work harder on myself and fight for my life?
I went back and forth in my head, feeling too weak to make changes, too exhausted to fight even more, but at the same my longing for mental freedom was not diminished. I wanted out even if I had to make uncomfortable, drastic changes in my life and my body, even if I'd have to give up everything I ever knew, even if it meant to walk into a completely new and scary direction.
The first turn I took was to tell my therapist and then my husband the truth for the very first time. It was a painful step to take, I am not going to lie. I felt uneasy and hesitated quite a bit. However, the relief that washed over me was more than I could have hoped for and it took away a lot of pressure.
For the very first time I realized that I didn't have to be perfect, that my recovery did not have to be smooth, that it was more than OK to be weak and to fall back into old habits.
As long as I tried, did my best and was serious about recovery, I was moving in the right direction. Nobody expected me to check into a treatment facility, eat and come back home after 3 months completely healthy and ready to attack life in ways that I have never been able to do before.
All these expectations came from myself. Had I been perfectly honest with those who cheered for me form the very beginning, they'd have known how hard it is and I wouldn't have felt so alone and so completely overwhelmed and hopeless. However, by pretending I was doing great, their expectations were altered. Once I stopped doing that, they had a better idea of what they were dealing with and we could work on my recovery together.
I would lie if I told you that the feelings of being overwhelmed completely vanished. But they were drastically reduced because I knew I was not fighting alone anymore.
Recovery is rocky and there will be many ups and downs along the way. By keeping vital information from your loved ones and by lying to them, you will put even more unnecessary pressure on yourself on this already so difficult path. Be open, be real, be authentic. Talk to your loved ones regularly, explain what it feels like to be at this stage in recovery, be honest about setbacks and never be ashamed.

This week, the Doc Alliance Films portal introduced Country of Dreams, the latest film from the "Vietnamese cycle" by Czech documentarist Martin Ryšavý. On this occasion, we are bringing an interview with FAMU graduate Gašper Šnuderl who entrusted the main roles in his short feature film to Vietnamese non-actors. How was his cooperation with the Vietnamese? What does he appreciate about them? Read on…
The film Charmers by Gašper Šnuderl presents the world of the Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic from a different perspective than the one usually presented in documentary films or perceived by Czechs as such. It tells the story of a young man who attempts to free his life from the bonds of his Vietnamese diaspora, the endless business deals and stalls with cheap goods.
Why did you choose the Vietnamese as the protagonists of your film?
I guess the idea has something to do with the fact that I myself am a foreigner. Moreover, my film is about loneliness, for which theme the character of a foreigner is a perfect fit. I was also attracted to the Vietnamese style, which we offer consider as kitch. Charmers is my graduate film at the camera department. Such a film should be based primarily on images. I believed that the Vietnamese setting would make a perfect fit for the visual rendering of the script, completing the poetic atmosphere of the story.
How did you find your "actors"?
At the beginning, it was very hard. Obviously, there is nothing like a Vietnamese casting in Prague (yet). I had to go out to the streets. I walked through Vietnamese markets, searching for people with interesting faces who I tried to address. I had Vietnamese leaflets printed and posted at Vietnamese markets. However, hardly anyone replied. After several visits at the markets, everyone knew me. "You - film", they pointed their fingers at me, laughing in their sleeves. Whenever I talked to someone, I tried not to scare them. From the very beginning, I told them this was an art project, no investigative journalism. I pointed out that I would not disturb their privacy; that I was not interested in how they got here or how they got their job; which, I think, was their primary fear.
In the end, however, you were successful…
What was essential to me was to find the main actor and actress. My colleagues from FAMU assisted me in discovering Ta Thuy dung, the protagonist of the main female role; however, the male role was quite a problem. Finally, I met To Hai at one of many street castings at the Sapa market. I noticed him behind the counter of one of the shops, his face was really remarkable. I was anxious to quickly explain everything before he would disappear in the endless storerooms of the market; however, to my pleasant surprise, Hai got instantly interested in the project.
How was the shooting?
It is always demanding to realize an ambitious non-commercial project. Even before the very start of shooting, we were not absolutely sure whether we would be allowed to enter Sapa (the biggest Vietnamese market in Prague) or whether the actors would participate in the end. We were also shooting a number of night scenes. I had to admire the discipline and persistence of the Vietnamese colleagues. For instance, To Hai still had to work at the market while shooting. We would finish a demanding night scene at 5 a.m. and he would get up and go to work and would meet us after work on site. He must have been overworked, however, he never even complained, nor did he quit the started project. Later when I went to Vietnam I learned that a promise has a great worth among the Vietnamese. Before a deal is made, like when you're bargaining, anything can happen; however, once a promise is made, they will do everything to keep their word, even if they didn't feel like it at all.
Did your perspective on the Vietnamese community change thanks to the making of the film?
Before making this film, my knowledge of the Czech Vietnamese was limited to the nearest convenience store; the shooting definitely has broadened my horizons. The Vietnamese community is quite inaccessible; the language naturally represents a great barrier. Personally, I am very happy that I managed to penetrate it a little bit thanks to the film. I even attended a traditional Vietnamese wedding (a small one in the Vietnamese perspective, with 400 guests "only") thanks to the invitation of To Hai; I was also invited to a dinner by the family of Yu Thi Thu Trang - our Vietnamese interpreter, which was dominated by karaoke, an indispensable part of any Vietnamese household; and, obviously, their food. Did I tell you Vietnamese cuisine was the best one in the world?

To the Editor:
Regarding Arthur Sulzberger Jr.'s suggestion to the Pulitzer Prize Board that revoking Walter Duranty's 1932 prize recalled the ''Stalinist practice to airbrush purged figures out of official records and histories'' (''Times Should Lose Pulitzer From 30's, Consultant Says,'' news article, Oct. 29):
Those targeted for ''airbrushing'' were already murdered, languishing in the gulag or forced into exile after having been falsely accused of espionage, treason, sabotage and other ''crimes.''
The N.K.V.D., the predecessor of the K.G.B., then ordered libraries to expunge all mention and to relegate them to the status of non-persons, a fate that persisted for most until the Gorbachev era.
Revoking Mr. Duranty's prize is another matter altogether. He was never prosecuted for any crimes. His articles remain available in the archives of The New York Times, and his books on the shelves of major libraries.
Airbrushing was intended to suppress the truth about what was happening under Stalin. The aim of revoking Walter Duranty's prize is the opposite: to bring greater awareness of the potential long-term damage that his reporting did for our understanding of the Soviet Union.
New York, Oct. 29, 2003
The writer, a professor of history at Columbia University, was hired by The New York Times to make an independent assessment of Walter Duranty's reporting.Continue reading the main story

While Word 2010 has no tool for straightening an image, you can create the same effect.
step 1
To do this, I'd suggest you start with a new drawing canvas which is Insert > Shapes > New Drawing Canvas to draw a canvas on the screen.
step 2
Adjust it to just larger than the image that you want in your document and then click inside the canvas and choose Insert Picture to select an image to insert.
Size the image once it's placed inside the drawing canvas.
Step 3
Now with the canvas selected but not the image, choose Insert > Shapes and select a rectangle shape.
Draw the rectangle shape over the top of the image.
From the Drawing Tools> Format tab, set the Shape Fill to No Fill and the Shape Outline to White and set the Outline Weight to a large weight. To do this, you'll probably need to select the format shape options so that you can set the shape outline to something like 40 points. You need something that will cover the edges of the shape that you are about to crop.
In this image, I've set the outline of the rectangle to a light grey so you can see what you're aiming to achieve:
Step 4
Now with the image selected rather than the shape, rotate the image until it is straight. Select the image and click the Crop button crop away a little bit around the edges of the image. You don't need to crop too much but you might need to crop a little bit.
Click outside the image and now adjust the shape itself the white border you created so that it covers the area of the image that you want to hide because you've rotated the image.
In some cases, you may still not have enough border so you can adjust it to make it wider or narrower as required not by selecting the rectangle and choose Drawing Tools > Format tab > Shape Outline > Weight> More Lines and now increase the size of the line until you have enough border to hide the outside of the image.
The border grows from the middle out so you need to add about half as much extra border than you think you need.
Once you've added the extra border, click on the border and drag it outwards until it covers the uneven edges of the image.
Essentially what you're doing here is rotating an image then using a white frame with no fill placed over the top of the image to mask out the area of the image that is on an angle and that you don't want to see.
When you're done, you can resize the drawing canvas until it fits closely around your image. It should not extend over the image or you will distort the frame.
Placing the image and frame inside a drawing canvas means that you can just click and drag on the drawing canvas edge and it will move both the frame and the image in your document.

Critical Context
(Survey of Young Adult Fiction)
The young adult who reads Yeager learns about a half century that might seem to be "ancient history," but the events portrayed will continue to have been first-person experiences for many people living several decades past the year 2000. Young readers who are specifically interested in Chuck Yeager or who have a general interest in aviation would enjoy and benefit from reading the entire book. Those who have a limited interest in aviation or who are only interested in World War II, the Korean conflict, Vietnam, or Pakistan might be better served by reading specific selections.
Yeager's reckless pursuit of "fun" in his youth almost destroyed his career more than once. Breaking his ribs the night before he broke the sound barrier was minor compared to some other personally irresponsible incidents that he relates, and although he makes some attempt to justify orders that he and other U.S. pilots were given to kill "innocent civilians" during World War II, he also labels the results as an "atrocity." Yeager's failure to accept responsibility for his own actions, private and public, makes him a questionable role model.
Of the three women portrayed in depth—Glennis Yeager, Jacqueline Cochran, and Pancho Barnes—and the countless prostitutes and the nameless "girls to chase," Glennis is the only one who might be considered an acceptable role model for young women. In fact, many readers may find the attitude toward women to be offensive.
Nevertheless, Yeager is an interesting and entertaining book for adults. Whether young adults will also benefit from reading the biography will depend on their level of maturity.

Rays to play exhibition game in Cuba
The Tampa Bay Rays and even President Obama will be in Cuba later this month while the Rays take on the Cuban National team. Something of this magnitude that has not occurred in almost 20 years, when the Baltimore Orioles played an exciting two-games series there in 1999. And even then President Clinton was not in attendance.
We are honored that @POTUS plans to attend the @raysbaseball game in Havana, Cuba, on March 22. pic.twitter.com/NFPZFL07Hf
— MLB (@MLB) March 2, 2016
President Obama tweeted back expressing his enthusiasm.
Play ball! https://t.co/S4DhVYa4Ef
— President Obama (@POTUS) March 2, 2016
It is believed by many that the love and passion that the two countries share for the game of baseball will help bring them together. In part of a statement issued by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred he shared this sentiment saying that during this time of historic change,
"We appreciate the constructive role afforded by our shared passion for the game, and we look forward to experiencing Cuba's storied baseball tradition and the passion of its many loyal fans."
The Rays will fly into Cuba on March 20, hold an exhibition clinic on the 21st and play the Cuban National Team at Estadio Latinoamericano in Havana on the 22nd before returning home to the United States.
The White House, along Rays' ace Chris Archer, their primary owner Stu Sternberg and president of baseball operations Matt Silverman, all had something to say positive to say about about this historic event and the two countries' shared love for the game of baseball. The event will help further the efforts put forth by President Obama to mend the long strained relationship between Cuba and the United States.
According to Silverman the Rays' mission is about,
"spreading goodwill through baseball"
According to ESPN.com the White House issued a more in-depth statement than simply the President's fun tweet saying,
"Americans and Cubans share a love of baseball, and this is yet another powerful reminder of the kinship between our peoples as well as the progress we can achieve when we leverage those natural ties."
It's true that in order to mend our ties with Cuba that we must focus on the passions we share and baseball is certainly on of the biggest ones. Hopefully, history will continue to be productively made and the United States and Cuba can once again become allies instead of enemies.

When you are collecting your checked baggage do you get annoyed by other passengers? The ones who just barge in, push in front and block your view?
I know I certainly do.
I'm one of the few diligent ones who follow the instructions. Those instructions are that you stand behind the line whilst you wait to collect your check in baggage from the luggage carousel.
Armed with my hand luggage only I stand waiting patiently.
Then someone comes barging in and stands in front of the line. They stand right beside the luggage carousel. I can't see any more.
I have to lean in, bend over, stretch my neck, just any way to see my checked baggage amongst the large suitcases on the luggage conveyor belt.
The best place to be when collecting checked baggage
So I have a solution, well two in fact.
Only collect luggage in Norway, yes Norway. That is the only place where I've seen people obey the "stand behind the line" rule.
Stand at the end of the straight part of the luggage carousel. You then have an almost clear view straight down the line and people will struggle to get in front of you. (Though don't put it past someone to try!)
Are you a compliant large suitcase collector? Do you stand behind the line as instructed so everyone by the line can see the luggage carousel?
If you like my tip then look out for me at the end of the straight line of the carousel. I'll be there waiting for my checked baggage.

text: Malaysian Police rounded up 17 Indian women from budget hotels in Kuala Lumpur city centre yesterday night on suspicion of being involved in prostitution, the Malaysian national news agency Bernama reported today.Ten men, including seven Indian nationals, were also detained during the three-hour operation launched at 8 pm, reported the agency, quoting Assistant Commission of Police (ACP) Ismail Syed Azizan. The women, all Indian nationals aged between 25 and 38, were being held at the Kuala Lumpur Police Contingent Headquarters. The foreign nationals were detained under the Immigration Act for violating their social visit passes while the three Malaysian men were detained for abetting them, ACP Ismail added.
