A decade ago, as Ford engineers prepared the next-generation Mustang, they stared down an inescapable truth: The best Mustangs were built in the 1960s.
So they set out to build a brand-new 1968 Mustang fastback, wrapping modern technology in retro sheet metal. That strategy carried its own risks, like asking the Rolling Stones to rerecord "Exile on Main Street."
It's clear now that it worked brilliantly, setting off an unlikely second coming of the muscle car era. In a familiar stampede, Chevrolet and Dodge — which scrambled in the '60s to make their own "pony cars" — followed Ford's lead again with refried versions of the original Camaro and Challenger.
The 2013 Mustang GT we tested recently, a drag-strip beast that could smoke most anything from the '60s, may be among the last of the retro breed. With the Mustang's 50th anniversary approaching next year, the engineers in Dearborn, Mich., are again feverishly designing the next-generation Mustang. They face an even tougher challenge: How do you take a car into the future after you've taken it a half-century into the past?
However wonderful the next Mustang may be, it will be a shame to see this one pass into history, whence it came. The successful remake of the 1967-68 car represents a kind of redemption for dumb decisions Ford made when it abandoned the early Mustangs in the first place, leading to a series of putrid pony cars throughout the 1970s. (Note to Ford: DO NOT bring back the Mustang II.)
A week in the old-school cockpit of the latest GT confirms that its ride, handling and shifting are an upgrade over both ancient and recent Mustangs, which have always been a bit crude — endearingly so.
Ford has also pulled off a subtle but substantial evolution of its retro design. A mid-cycle refresh in 2010 added a sharpened belt line and a rear end pinched in on both sides. For 2013, Ford added a more prominent front grille and other tweaks. The updates somehow made the car look simultaneously less dated and more like the old car.
But only one option really matters on this car: the 302-cubic-inch, 5.0-liter V-8, a direct descendant of the first 302 small-block introduced in the 1968 Mustang, now with a ludicrous 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. The first retro Mustang GT, a 2005 model, was impressive enough with 300 horses. Piling on 120 more is like deep-frying bacon in pork fat.
With the optional six-speed manual, it's difficult to launch the GT without roasting enough rubber to set off neighborhood smoke alarms. Shifts into second gear provoke another loud bark from the rear tires. Pushing the 7,000-rpm redline in higher gears requires acres of open highway.
The car's least-expected quality is a near-optimal trade-off between aggressive handling and a comfortable ride, both of which came in handy on the twisty, pockmarked Pasadena Freeway.
The GT has its issues. All Mustangs do. Their point has never been perfection, but rather the proper ratio of performance to price. The car can be a handful to drive in town, and feels a tad too big and heavy. Its center console is awkwardly angled up toward the back seat, making manual shifting an elbow-bumping affair.
Proper flogging of the GT also exposes a drawback to the whole '60s motif. The retro thing extends to the tall, skinny numbers on the circular analog speedometer. They're cool but hard to read, especially in the split second you have to look down, past your white knuckles, as the horizon starts to blur.
The GT dispenses with zero to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds on its way to 12.7-second quarter mile, according to Motor Trend. If you want something just a hair faster, plunk down $190,000 on an Aston Martin DB9.
Our loaded test car came to $40,255, a bit high for the quintessential affordable fast car. But GTs start at $31,545, and the V-6 base model — with a more-than-respectable 305 horsepower — brings the price down to $22,995.
All this sets a high bar for the next-generation Mustang. If Ford has learned anything from history, it will take care to avoid repeating what happened after the 1960s, a textbook case of messing with success. The first Mustang, a 1965 model unveiled on April 17, 1964, at the New York World's Fair, lasted just two model years — even though Ford sold more than a million of the cars. Feeling competitive pressure from Chevy and Dodge, the automaker rushed out two more generations before 1970. They were larger, faster cars, but respectful of the original.
Then Ford drove the Mustang into a ditch. The stretched and bloated 1971 Mustang, stripped of its trademark side-panel scoops, was a misguided attempt to turn the pony car into a luxury coupe. By 1973, as new emissions standards and an oil crisis took hold, horsepower had plummeted to a measly 150 for the strongest available V-8, according to a history of the Mustang by auto information company Edmunds.com.
That mere mistake was compounded by the crime against transportation known as the Mustang II, sold from the 1974 to 1978 model years. The mini-Mustang, which shared a chassis and engines with the lowly Pinto, today ranks second on Edmunds.com's list of 100 all-time worst cars.
The Mustang didn't fully recover until 1985, when Ford finally dropped a respectable version of its 5.0-liter V-8 into the long-running sixth-generation pony car. Horsepower topped 200 for the first time since 1971, and the "five-point-oh" models proved quite popular. (Today's GT gives a nod to this era with a small "5.0" badge just behind the front-wheel hub.)
The history no doubt weighs heavily on Mustang engineers now holed up in top-secret design sessions, walking the line between traditional and innovation. Whatever emerges will be the product of much pride and many arguments, says Jim Owens, a marketing manager for the Shelby line of ultra-performance Mustangs.
"There's a billboard on the plant that builds Mustangs. It says, 'We love taking our work home with us,'" Owens said, describing the factory in Flat Rock, Mich. "We will argue over a single pound of tire pressure and what it means at the apex of Turn 11 at Laguna Seca."
The speculation is well underway. Some auto critics are predicting independent rear suspension, even turbocharging, which might smack of sacrilege to purists. Best-guess renderings of the next body style are all over the Internet. Some suggest a measured evolution, some a bold departure.
"They're probably going to move it past the retro design, but without abandoning the classic silhouette that's been part of every successful Mustang since 1964 — a long hood and a short rear deck," said Scott Oldham, vice president of editorial at Edmunds.com. "You can make a modern car and still make it classic and timeless. That's the challenge ahead of Ford."
You can also take a classic car and make it modern, as the current Mustang has proved. Our advice to Ford: The Mustang is finally back in a good place. Don't screw it up. Don't get any big ideas.
Do what you should have done in the 1970s: Let the shape of the car change slowly, organically, over many years. Treat it like Porsche treats the 911.
You want to put a tiny turbocharged engine in it? Fine, if you must. Just keep a V-8 option. We need time to process these things. Independent rear suspension? Whatever. Just don't run up the price. Forget traction control — we know how to drive. Don't over-worry about fuel economy. And, whatever you do, keep it rear-wheel drive — forever.
It's a Mustang. Let it be what it is. It's been 50 years now. It's our car, not yours.

Are fake handbags back in fashion?
But, as she later reveals to me after a couple of drinks, her show pony is hollow. Despite its supple leather and tiny "Céline" engraving on the gold buckle, the bag is not from Céline. Nina's mom knows a lady out west who has these very impressive fakes made. There are dozens of styles and color combinations available.
Nina isn't exactly embarrassed about her purchase. She's no fool, and she doesn't want to go into debt over a multi-thousand-dollar purse. "My priorities in life are my adventures. I prefer to save my money to travel the world," she says. "Luxury brands have gotten to be so exorbitantly expensive. And knowing everything I know about production and marketing, it makes you think twice about how much you spend on a bag."
But Nina isn't outright bragging about her purchase, either. (Which is why you won't be surprised to know that "Nina" isn't her real name.) A fashion person carrying a fake is like an Apple employee whipping out an Android phone. It just isn't done, and would be a major point of gossip if it were.
In a weird way, counterfeit-shaming has seemed to benefit Nina. Few would entertain the idea that a member of the industry that fights so hard against counterfeits would ever consider faking it. Luxury brands including Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Burberry have all sued companies that sell counterfeit goods, usually winning. (In 2008, eBay was ordered to pay Louis Vuitton 38.6 million euros by the Paris courts. In 2012, a Manhattan judge ordered that Burberry be paid $100 million in damages by a string of Chinese websites found guilty of trademark infringement.) The goal of CFDA's ongoing "You Can't Fake Fashion" campaign -- marketed in partnership with eBay, which has attempted to tighten up its rules around counterfeit goods in the past few years -- is to educate consumers about the downside to buying counterfeit. For much of the aughts, Harper's Bazaar held an anti-counterfeiting summit with an aim to shed light on the illegal market's effect not only on the luxury economy, but also its employees: there are reports of human trafficking, child labor and funneling of funds to terrorist groups. And Fashionista's own series, Adventures in Copyright, has been calling out knockoffs since the site launched in 2006.
But lately, anti-counterfeiting chatter seems to have died down. Not only has the story been told dozens of times, but it's almost a given, as I mentioned before, that shoppers of a certain socioeconomic standing wouldn't even think of buying fake. Which leaves room for them to do just that. "We go through ebbs and flows about caring about counterfeit items. It's like the roach problem in Manhattan. It's there, we freak out about it from time to time when a big story comes out about an infestation -- or in this case, a major bust -- and then we put it on the back burner," says Hitha Prabhakar, author of Black Market Billions: How Organized Retail Crime Funds Global Terrorists. "There could be a roach story in the paper, on the nightly news, or on a website every day. But after a while, people become numb to it. The same thing is happening with counterfeit items."
Indeed, the battle has been raging for so long that it seems some are ready to surrender. Jennifer*, a longtime fashion editor, recently indulged in $25 knockoffs of Dior's tribal earrings, which can cost about $600 for a pair--depending on the version. Initially, she was committed to buying the originals, but the sold-out black-and-white version she wanted were limited edition, which meant there wasn't even a waitlist she could join. "A friend suggested checking eBay. There was a black and white pair, but marked up to double the retail price!" Jennifer says. "So when I scrolled down and saw virtually the same thing for $25, I just clicked 'Buy.' I can definitely see the difference in quality up close, but you'd never know when it's in the ear." The funny thing is, the editor -- who has never knowingly bought a counterfeit item before -- says she feels the urge to tell people they're not the real thing. "I probably wouldn't buy something fake again," she says. "I'd still rather have the Dior ones!"
Followers of fashion who feel, as Jennifer does, that counterfeits are a last resort have found other ways to get their fix without spending thousands. There is very little judgement put on an editor who buys a pair of Steve Madden slip-ons sneakers that mimic Céline's version. (Partially because the latter's are an upscale "interpretation" of Vans.) Designer-esque scores from Zara or Topshop, which are often straight copies, garner plenty of praise from peers. The most sincere -- and arguably ethical -- fashion devotees are turning to more moderately priced "original" products, such as Mansur Gavriel totes. (But then again, it won't be long before MG bags, which have a wait list rivaling the Hermès Birkin, are copied too.)
In truth, fakes are as big of a business as ever. In 2013, the U.S. government seized $1.7 billion worth of counterfeit goods, a 38 percent increase from 2012. (That number reflects what the goods would have cost at retail if they were real, not fake.) About 40 percent of those goods were handbags and wallets -- around $700 millions' worth. Watches and jewelry were next making up 29 percent -- or $500 millions' worth -- of the seizures, up from 15 percent the year before. As for what was actually sold on the black market, it's hard to say -- it is a black market, after all -- but we do know that the business is increasing, costing U.S. companies an estimated $250 million a year in lost sales according to the United States Department of Commerce.
As for Nina and Jennifer, they still may be anomalies in an industry which outwardly abhors imitation. But they're hardly alone.
*These names have been changed. Because, obviously.

254. The children's progress in the formation they receive depends on the help and example of their companions and on the influence of their parents. Both these factors should be taken into account.
As a parent, I have to comment on this interesting expectation. I would hope that my example is at least equally important as my influence would be. I suppose the Church assumes the "supportive setting" of peers is as important for youth as it would be for adults:
1. Since the children to be initiated often belong to a group of children of the same age who are already baptized and are preparing for confirmation and eucharist, their initiation progresses gradually and within the supportive setting of this group of companions.
What is 254.1 saying or implying? Are all children who have yet to receive confirmation and First Eucharist assumed to be in formation for these sacraments? Or are the groups in proximate preparation for confirmation and Eucharist the ideal peer groups? Surely the framers of this paragraph knew the variations in practice around the globe for confirmation and that First Eucharist is nearly always celebrated very early in a child's life.
2. It is to be hoped that the children will also receive as much help and example as possible from the parents, whose permission is required for the children to be initiated and to live the Christian life. The period of initiation will also provide a good opportunity for the family to have contact with priests and catechists.
This is sound. The Church recognizes the special situation for unbaptized children, the opportunity for good pastoral ministry with parents, who, are either recently inactive Christians, or who have been bystanders as their children have taken some initiative of belief and brought it with them to family life.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America – America – Oh beautiful for spacious skies – America – America! It's been a long time coming, but change is on its way, but first we'll be making a stop in Mississippi.
During the early 50's election officials sought to keep blacks from voting mainly by incorporating fear amongst the people – fear of being beaten, or killed; fear of losing their jobs or land; fear of having their rents doubled even the fear of not having any food. During the winter of 1962, LeFlore County, Mississippi, cut off the government food surplus program; a major dependence for the counties poor blacks. Fear had stricken the black community; paralyzing progress as democracy retreated; fear was raping southern blacks of their right to vote.
By the mid-60's, State legislatures became a little more crafty; they incorporated laws requiring voters to pay poll taxes, interpret sections of the State Constitution and used literacy test as a main qualifier to obtain voting privileges. Injustice reared its ugly hear, Voter Education Program (1961) was almost becoming futile as it's hard to educate once fear takes over.
The voting process proved grave, literally as participants were threatened, jailed, beaten and killed. A call for change was made and answered by over 1000, mostly white-northern, volunteers. Their mission was to calm the fears, educate, support and register the black, should-be-voters of Mississippi.
Mosquito's, humidity, fear and anticipation filled the air on June 14, 1964 as volunteers geared up for what would be known as Freedom Summer; a mission to register Black voters in the segregated South. A mission brought forth due to the oppressive; hate motivated scare tactics instituted by southern white citizens.
Racial injustice, threats, scare tactics and mostly white-northern volunteers; that's what this post is about.
I believe our (America's ) change is coming in the form of Senator Obama; his principles and priorities have awaken the racism that has lain dormant in most of white America, who in turn seeks to reinstall fear amongst the black community.
Within the last few weeks the city of Philadelphia (and I'm sure all urban cities) has been flooded with misleading deeds-dastardly deeds (lol) – here are a few:
1)If you have a warrant or outstanding tickets, you're subject to being arrested when you arrive to vote.
2)If your home is under foreclosure you can't vote.
3)If you wear party/candidate specific items or attire (No Obama S@#%) you will have to leave.
4)If you owe child support
if your hair's too long; if you wear glasses; if you have a cat; if you eat bagels for breakfast.
Ok, scratch those last few, but you get the point. Oh, there was also a notice going around that said: Due to the height of this Presidential election and the increase in voter registrations, an alternate voting day is being added – If you're not able to vote on November 4th, you may do so on November 10th (SUCKERS!!) (I added the 'Suckers' part).
I was told of this new tacky-tact maneuver by a white woman who from New York, which brings us to that part of this post. As I've been actively volunteering with the campaign during my down time from work, I've noticed that the majority of the volunteers are white, with a great deal of them coming from other northern-states.
Obama is not the Black people's candidate, but he's here for whoever will follow, but black people seem to be the least supportive with their time and money. We've got to step it up because most of the fear-tactics have been thrown at our doors like dog-do in a a paper bag. We've got to unit to combat these efforts and let them know that we shall NOT be moved- Welcome to the NEW land of the brave – Home of the FREE!!!

For the 26 Boy Scout Venture patrol ultimate activity pins see Venture Patrol Activity Pins.
The following 27 pins and requirements correspond to the Varsity Scout team high-adventure/sports program features.
The text of this article appears below the pin images.
Award requirements
Youth Varsity Scout team members who participate in a "ultimate adventure" may earn a Varsity Scout Letter. Such an activity may occur every three to six months; the event is chosen by the team, planned and carried out by the high-adventure/sports program manager, and requires practice or training sessions. If the activity falls into one of the 27 Varsity Scout program features, then an activity pin may be optionally awarded. The team captain (youth team leader) determines the requirements and awards the pins at a court of honor.
Teams may schedule an ultimate adventure that is a "big event" where the other program managers plan activities in the same program feature. Related merit badges may be earned before or during the event.
Below are types of examples program managers could plan for ultimate adventures; these activities are demanding and for many you must consult the Varsity Scout Features pamphlets for information, safety and consultant needs. Since there are no set requirements for the activity pins, the team captain determines what the participation requirements are within the high-adventure/sports event:
Sharpen skills, make equipment, start conditioning, and conduct preplanning. A backpacking trip could be at Philmont, or a trail such as the Appalachian trail. Team members could earn the 50 Miler Award, the Leave No Trace award, or the Backpacking or Hiking merit badge.
Teams may join a league for a season (at least three months) or play other Varsity Scouts. An advancement activity could be earning the Sports merit badge.
Bowling is a good cold-weather alternative. Join a league or hold a tournament; earn the Engineering or Sports merit badge for advancement.
Canoe camping
Plan an extended canoe camping; learn and demonstrate BSA Safety Afloat; earn the 50 Miler Award, the Leave No Trace award, and the Canoeing or the Sports merit badge.
Cover the material in the Caving program feature. Conduct a caving activity. Earn the Geology merit badge for advancement.
Cross-country skiing
Cover the material in the Cross-country skiing program feature. Organize a tour race or cross-country skiing adventure. Earn the Snow Sports merit badge.
Plan a long-term cycling tour or a tournament, including conditioning and bike inspections. There are many outside consultants that could provide expertise. Earn the Cycling or Sports merit badge.
Discovering America
This is a wild-card activity. It allows teams to brainstorm for an adventure: A hobby adventure, a trip to another country, a special citizenship project to aid a group of people, or working on a cattle ranch.
Cover basic instruction for fishing; learn to tie fly lures; hold a bait or fly casting tournament. Make this the focus of a high-adventure. Earn the Fishing, Fly Fishing or Sports merit badge.
Freestyle biking
Cover the Freestyle biking program feature. Stage a freestyle biking competition.
Learn about all aspects of the mountain men that explored the western frontiers in the early 19th century. Earn the Wilderness Survival merit badge.
Team may follow the Mechanic's program feature. Activities may require an outside consultant. Activities could include earning the Traffic Safety and the Auto Mechanics merit badges.
Operation On-target
This program is mainly for Varsity Scouts, but also includes Venturers and older Boy Scouts. Operation On-target gives the team the opportunity to learn about signaling with mirrors and exposes them to radio communications, movie-making equipment, photography, and other subjects. Supporting advancement activities could include earning the Radio or [Photography]] merit badges.
There are two pins available, a V-shaped pin for the first participation and another for each attendance thereafter.
Cover the material in the Orienteering program feature. Plan a challenging orienteering activity. Earn the Orienteering merit badge.
Rock climbing and rappelling
This can be one of the most challenging adventures. Teams need the help of a qualified instructor and must follow Climb On Safely procedures. Advancement activities may include earning the Climbing merit badge.
Roller hockey
Cover the material in the Roller hockey program feature. Advancement activities may include earning the Skating or Sports merit badge.
Shooting sports
Cover the material in the Shooting spots program feature; a qualified instructor is a must. Plan a high-adventure outing or hold a tournament. Advancement activities may include earning the Shotgun Shooting, Rifle Shooting, Archery and Sports merit badges.
Snow camping
Cover the material in the snow camping program feature. Conduct a snow camping activity, hold a Klondike Derby or hike. Advancement activities could include earning the Emergency Preparedness merit badge.
Teams may join a league for a season (at least three months) or play other Varsity Scouts. An advancement activity could be earning the Sports merit badge.
Teams may join a league for a season (at least three months) or play other Varsity Scouts. An advancement activity could be earning the Sports merit badge.
Teams may go beyond what is learned in the Wilderness Survival merit badge. This adventure should be to work together with members of the team to solve problems and live in harmony with one another. Support activities may include having the team take an American Red Cross wilderness first aid course.
This activity may include swimming skills such as earning the Swimming or Lifesaving merit badges, or include earning BSA Lifeguard but this activity focuses on the skills of competitive swimming and endurance such the Mile Swim BSA or a swimming meet for the Sports merit badge.
Cover the material in the tennis program feature; hold a tennis tournament. An advancement activity could be earning the Sports merit badge.
These long-distance competitions consist of three phases, usually bicycling, swimming and running. Winter variations could consist of cross-country skiing, snowshoeing ad speed skating. Advancement activities could include have the team earn the Personal Fitness, Athletics, Sports, Cycling, Skating or Snow Sports merit badge.
Cover the material in the volleyball program feature. Plan a volleyball activity with other as a coed event or with other Varsity Scouts, or participate in a volleyball league. An advancement activity could be earning the Sports merit badge.
Find a qualified instructor to coach the team for this activity. Support activities could include learning and demonstrating BSA Safety Afloat and conducting a safety session for a Boy Scout troop. Advancement activities could earn the Waterskiing or Sports merit badges.
Whitewater canoeing
Cover the material in the whitewater program feature. An ultimate adventure could be planning a trip down a whitewater river. Advancement activities could include earning the Whitewater merit badge and learning and demonstrating BSA Safety Afloat.

I am often asked how I can raise an animal with tender care and then kill and eat it. My answer is another question: how can a person work hard to develop a healthy body with good hygiene, good exercise, good living habits and a good diet, and then hide that beautiful bunch of flesh and bone under clothes?
We are the result of our cultural and biological environment. A person properly situated could quit wearing clothes, I suppose. It might even be healthier to do so. But neither our environment nor our mystifying American culture will tolerate public nudity (although observing cheerleaders at pro-football games, it looks to me like we are nearing a — may I use the word — breakthrough in the latter case).
In the culture I belong to, for better or for worse, going without meat is as unthinkable as going without clothes. Killing animals for food is nasty, sad work but we think someone has to do it. I grew up in a society generally not wealthy enough to eat meat regularly unless we butchered what we raised. And lest the main point be overlooked, homegrown, home-cooked meat is so very, very tasty.
As children we felt the natural revulsion that comes from killing the farm animals we cared for, especially when a favorite one was involved. But we got over it, or at least did not make companion pets of the animals destined for market or table. Very few people are hardhearted enough to kill and eat an orphan lamb brought into the house, fed from a bottle, diapered like a baby, and allowed to sleep in one's lap while they watch television — as we have done. Butchering and eating our own meat taught us the hardest lesson of life: death is inevitable for everything. Accepting that fact is part of the wisdom that rural culture teaches. Not accepting it leads to what our urbanized society often does today: hitches a dying human up to the machine so as to prolong the pain and suffering a little longer. There will come a day when the good part of the old rural ethic asserts itself again and that practice will be regarded as barbaric.
Jews and Muslims use a sort of prayerful ritual when slaughtering animals to make the killing seem less repugnant. With us, families get together for a butchering day and make of it a kind of party, that is spread the repugnance out over a larger group of people. I think it is ironical that some of the same people who find our habit of killing animals for food repulsive, casually accept, even vote for, governments that bomb and kill people by the thousands.
Neither going without clothes nor going without meat is particularly practical. You won't last long without clothes where I live. And many if not most vegetarians do eat some animal products like cheese and eggs, because getting the proper amount of all the necessary amino acids for good health is easier that way. Meat contains all the amino acids a human needs, whereas getting them from non-animal sources is tricky, requiring an array of foods properly balanced. Also, you can't make up the absence of some amino acids in a non-meat lunch by eating them at dinner later. They have to be consumed at the same time. Says so right here in this vegetarian cookbook I am reading (The Forget-About-Meat Cookbook, by Karen Brooks).
So let us say that I decided to be a vegetarian (I have often been tempted because, as a vegetarian friend of mine likes to say, it is so much easier to raise and eat plants than animals). I would have to (or someone would have to) keep cows, goats or sheep for cheese and chickens for eggs. What am I supposed to do with the surplus animal babies, especially the bull calves and rooster chicks? What am I supposed to do with the cows and chickens when they get too old to produce milk and eggs? Is killing and feeding them to the buzzards and maggots, or waiting for them to die a slow, painful death, somehow better than killing and eating them?
There is a severe disconnect between our society today and the realities of the food chain. Many people no longer understand that nature is a magnificent banquet table around which sit all forms of life killing and eating each other. Culturally separated from that reality, people take on habits of thought that can become very problematical. First of all, it takes a fairly wealthy society to have the luxury of picking and choosing what it will eat. Poor people will eat anything edible they can get their hands on. Humans are, after all, genetically programmed to be omnivores and as such, probably would have otherwise become extinct because we are among the slowest and weakest of animals, with the least developed senses of seeing, hearing and smelling. We have survived and risen to the top of the food chain (actually the food chain does not have a top any more than a log chain does) because we can and will eat anything, plants, animals, bugs, worms, fungi, even dirt. I had an aunt who was a missionary in China in the 1930s when that country was already starving from overpopulation. She said people would pound rocks to dust and eat the dust for its mineral value.
The notion that we can live in an environment where we interact with only part of the food chain leads to a clouded vision of nature. For example, if I have learned anything in farming it is that there is more food security and all-around efficiency on a farm where both animals and plants are kept than on farms raising only one or the other. Why? Because that's the way nature works. Plants and animals depend on each other. Plants are more at risk from uncontrollable weather than animals. Frost, drought, flood, hail, and a zillion fungal and insect pests can damage or wipe out the current year's crops, but seldom the livestock.
There are of course environmental risks to raising animals too, but not nearly as crucial. A cow killed by lightning can still be "harvested" for meat, or turned into valuable fertilizer, tallow, glue, pet food, and a host of other products important to our so-called civilization. The farmer who produces both crops and livestock "secures" much of his vegetative crops by "storing" them more or less safely in his animals. Then the animals, in the process of turning vegetation into food humans are genetically capable of utilizing, also produce manure for fertilizer. As any organic dairy farmer will attest, animal manure is the main reason that a small-scale dairy farm can be profitable especially now that chemical fertilizer prices have soared into the ionosphere.
Secondly, the notion that land freed up from livestock production will remain lovely, edenic natural space, like a park, totally benign to human society and available to grow vegetative food for huge increases in human population, is unfortunately not true. Nature still abhors a vacuum. When you take domestic animals off the land, it will fill up with wild animals and sooner or later you will have to deal with them. In my youth, the land in my neighborhood was fully stocked with farm animals. I had an uncle who bragged that his farm was so efficient that there was not even a rabbit on it to hunt. There was not a deer to be seen in the whole county. Now deer and many other wild animals proliferate. For awhile we enjoyed their presence and their beauty. Then they don't stay in their lovely wild garden of Eden. They come after our crops, our gardens, our ornamental plantings, our lawns, our parks, our golf courses and even our woodland, eating every tree seedling and wild flower that comes up because they are half starved. And if they have not come after yours yet, believe me, they soon will. Deer (and wild turkeys and Canada geese, among others), are invading even towns and cities, crashing through windows and killing themselves and humans in auto accidents. To keep deer in their wild Eden would require a fence ten feet tall and thousands of miles long, an impossibly expensive solution to the problem. Then if their populations were not kept in check, they would start starving to death penned inside their Eden.
Nature has a way of handling overpopulation. A disease is killing white-tailed deer in some areas, for example. Distemper decimates raccoon populations periodically. But such measures are too few and far between to solve the problem and that's not the point here. Rather, ask yourself: which is more "humane:" killing animals for food or letting them overpopulate, destroy vegetation needed by other forms of life, and then starve or die of some disease anyway. Or averting that, after the deer get too old to run fast, they get pulled down and their guts ripped out by dogs whose owners while often berating those of us who kill and eat meat, won't keep them restrained on their own property.

How does Subnetting Work?
I'm mainly a programmer. I have no idea beyond some basic theory when it comes to Networking/Administrating.
My university feels that we should course at least the basics in Networking and I'm psyched. It's something incredibly new to me and I'm enjoying the class a lot.
Yesterday was my first day and he posed the following question.
"Since each C-level network can only have a maximum of 254 IP addresses, how could you add 300 machines to a single C-level network?
I was thinking something like:
192.168.1.254 (Make this a ROUTER)
//and inside this router's network I could repeat the following addresses no problem.
Is this what my teacher was talking about? My teacher said this has a special name and we should research what it was called.
Anyone care to share some knowledge? :)
Edit: Maybe I'm not expressing my question clear enough; I need to have 300 machines all being able to communicate with each other, and all of them being within the same C-level network. (This is a deprecated term you say, what is it called now?)
How could I write this solution down on paper, explaining what I need?

text: Hi folks & welcome to my gallery!I always loved cars, industrial design, architecture, and art itself was something that I silently adored. Only few months before starting to attend university, my health had gone wrong. I've been that type of silent and humble guy, and kept all my problems inside. But, as I never imagined, it evolved into depression, which after years of treatment became chronical. Since this changed my professional intentions, completely altered everyday life, it also affected my ability to express. Still, I needed to be creative. I need it, constantly. It's a sort of catharsis, relax, self-realization. It fills up all the difficult days with sparkles of hope. And as we now live in this digital age, with always more possibilities in our hands, I've found my way to express.I started with fractal art, tried webdesign, digital photography, 3D graphics, I even mixed my own electronica tracks lol... Then I settled on post-edited fractals, and have also great pleasure to reprocess my older works with mobile devices & apps.In this gallery I will offer you the ones I find most interesting. I have created over 350 works and re-edits throughout past few years, but will try to keep things simple & tidy, so you all can (hopefully) enjoy what makes me happy. And, perhaps, it will make you happy too - well that's another purpose - it would drive me desperate if there was noone to share my art with.Now enough of self-promoting :D it's your turn, scroll down the page and see if you will like what it has to show.Have a nice time & great thanks for stopping by!Michal

Deadly Collapse in Bangladesh
Garment Factory Crumbles, Killing at Least 200
DHAKA, Bangladesh—At least 200 people died Wednesday when an eight-story building housing garment factories collapsed, the latest disaster to strike a country that has become a major source of inexpensive clothing for Western retailers.
The Rana Plaza building in Savar, a commercial hub north of the capital, collapsed at 9 a.m., after work had started in several companies at a complex that houses roughly 5,000 workers. By nightfall, some 1,000 people had been rescued, a fire official said, but local officials who provided the death toll said it was likely to climb.
Most of the dead appeared to be women, said an official at the nearby Enam Medical College Hospital, where bodies were piled in the bathrooms and reception areas as doctors treated survivors.
Selina Akter, a 24-year-old woman who worked on the fifth floor, said people were evacuated on Tuesday after a large crack appeared on an exterior wall, but that a man she said owned the building told workers that it would stand "for another 100 years."
"There was a loud sound and then everything went dark," said Mehedi Hasan, who worked at the New Wave Style factory on the third floor. "I crawled out but a lot of people are trapped inside."
The building collapse came months after more than 100 workers died in a fire at the Tazreen Fashions Ltd. factory near Dhaka.
That incident focused international attention on Western companies' increasing use of factories here to produce low-cost clothes and so-called fast fashion, making Bangladesh the second-largest clothing exporter after China.
Canadian retail giant Loblaw Co s. confirmed that workers at the complex were making clothes for its Joe Fresh clothing line.
"We will be working with our vendor to understand how we may be able to assist them during this time," a spokeswoman said.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which was listed as a customer on the website of one of the building's garment contractors, on Wednesday said it was "investigating across our global supply chain to see if a factory in this building was currently producing for Wal-Mart."
Children's Place Retail Stores Inc. confirmed that one of the factories has produced clothing for the company in the past, but said it wasn't currently doing so.
Foreign companies looking for cheap labor have flooded into Bangladesh in recent years, especially as rising pay in China has increased the cost of manufacturing there. In China, some provinces have raised minimum wages to more than $200 a month, while in Bangladesh the government sets the minimum wage for entry level garment workers there at less than $37 a month.
But some Western companies are rethinking their presence in Bangladesh as a series of horrific accidents have left more than 700 workers dead in factory fires in the past decade, according to labor groups. Building collapses have also been lethal; in 2005, the structural failure of a sweater factory killed 64 people and injured 80.
In March, Bangladesh's ministry of labor and employment, along with international labor unions and the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association, adopted a national action plan on fire safety for the industry. Plans included modernizing equipment, increasing the number of fire stations in industrial areas and overhauling fire- and building-safety laws and regulations, inspections and worker training.
Wal-Mart, whose products were found at the scene of the Tazreen fire even though it had barred contractors from using the factory, overhauled its global sourcing standards this year, adopting a "zero-tolerance policy" for violations. The retailer warned it would immediately sever ties with the companies that subcontract work to factories without Wal-Mart's knowledge starting on March 1, and at some point would publish the names of terminated factories on its website.
The retailer declined to comment on whether any supplier contracts have been terminated. "The transition to the new policy is still ongoing," a spokesman said.
Wal-Mart has begun paying for fire-safety reviews and inspections at all the Bangladesh factories it uses and donated $1.6 million to provide training on fire and workplace safety to garment-factory workers here.
Gap Inc. says it has set aside $20 million to help Bangladesh factories improve safety.
Critics say the changes don't go far enough. Scott Nova, executive director of the Worker Rights Consortium, a Washington-based nonprofit monitoring group, said labor-rights groups' calls for better safety measures at Bangladesh factories had been met with "vague promises" from retailers.
Human-rights groups have been calling on apparel brands and retailers to sign on to the Bangladesh Fire and Building Safety Agreement, which would establish a system of independent factory inspectors whose recommendations would be binding.
But the program has yet to get off the ground. PVH Corp. , owner of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, and German retailer Tchibo have signed up.
Nike Inc. has limited its use of factories in Bangladesh because of concerns about working conditions. "We just visited the country and decided to reduce our Bangladesh footprint," Hannah Jones, Nike's vice president of sustainable business, said in a recent interview.
Foreign clothing companies conduct safety audits of factories they use, and normally avoid those based in mixed-use commercial buildings like Rana Plaza because having multiple tenants raises the possibility of hazards like blocked fire exits. But work is sometimes subcontracted to factories in such buildings.
The website of Ether Tex Ltd., a garment factory based on the fifth floor of the Rana Plaza, lists Wal-Mart and German retailer C&A among its buyers. A C&A spokesman said Ether Tex's website was outdated and that it ended all relationships with the facilities in 2011.
A document found in the rubble, made available to The Wall Street Journal by Bangladeshi workers, appeared to show a March 5 order for T-shirts given to Phantom Apparel by Spanish clothing store Mango.
A spokeswoman for Mango said none of the businesses in the building was working for it, though it was discussing "test production" with one.
The Rana Plaza building, constructed in 2007, also housed a bank on the second floor and some shops.
Shaikh Abdul Mannan, a senior official at Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha, the government agency responsible for building safety in Dhaka, said the building didn't conform to the national building code.
Ms. Akter, who made clothes for Phantom on the fifth floor, said she was evacuated with other workers on Tuesday after a large crack appeared on an exterior wall near the third floor.
But later that day, Ms. Akter said, she attended a meeting at which the man she said owned the building, Sohel Rana, told workers there was nothing to worry about, saying, "The building will stand for another 100 years," she said. Mr. Rana, a local politician, couldn't be reached for comment.
On Wednesday, factory officials bearing megaphones urged employees gathered outside to return to work, Ms. Akter said, adding that they were told their pay would be docked if they didn't. Shortly after she did, the building collapsed, she said from her hospital bed.
"I was trapped in the darkness," she said. "There was choking dust. There was a big slab of concrete. I couldn't get out."

Choose the right sling, try ourTry also our other guidesGo to the Fabric Guide »Go to the Size Guide »
Liko ComfortVest is used together with Sabina Sit-to-Stand Lift with Comfort SlingBar for patients who wish to avoid underarm pressure.
Liko ComfortVest works according to a very different principle than other sit-to-stand vests. The ComfortVest lifts behind the back and outside the arms, thereby causing no pressure in the armpits.
ComfortVest consists of two sections, the outer vest of which lifts behind the back and outside the arms. The inner waist belt, which is attached to the lower edge of the outer vest, prevents gliding and safely eliminates the risk of the patient's sliding out of the vest. The self-regulating tensioning function works according to the same principle as Liko MasterVests. The individual fitting is just as important as choosing the right size.
Liko ComfortVest is available in several sizes and is intended for use in combination with Sabina sit-to-stand lift with Comfort SlingBar (wide).
Patients who must avoid pressure in the armpits, for instance patients who are paralyzed on one side.

As an alternative to the ComfortVest, we recommend either Liko SafetyVest or Liko SupportVest. For these sit-to-stand vests, Sabina with SlingBar 350 (narrow) is used, and the patient's arms are held outside the vest.
Please contact your closest Liko representative for access to Sling Asessments, instructions for Periodical Inspection, etc.
From the very beginning consideration for those for whom we develop our products has been our most important guiding-star. Our concept reflects our vision in our daily activity - always to improve life quality for patients and caregivers globally.

Serenity surrounds me.
It is Easter Sunday in Cedar Key.
I gaze across the Gulf.
It is pre-dawn.
It is those minutes between the dark of night and sunrise.
The moments are precious.
Like life itself — finite.
The soul enters the body.
The soul leaves the body.
Everything beyond — eternal.
The sun rises in the East
On Easter morning in Cedar Key.
My eyes look on.
There is nothing to see except in my mind's own eye.
A small fishing vessel.
Like life itself.
The boat leaves shore.
The boat returns.
The Bible is filled with references to water beginning with Gen. 1:2 (KJV), "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

The following tasks assume that a MySQL database is installed, running and populated with data, and that the MySQL database has the following characteristics:
Database name : sample_sql
Database URL : host2.example.com:3306/
JDBC driver URL : file:/net/host2.example/local/mysql/lib/jdbc.jar
Driver class : com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
Database user : root
Database password file : mysqlpwd.txt
The following table describes the tables in the database, and their composite fields. You need this information to set up the JDBC data view.
MySQL Table
Create a JDBC data source named mysql1 for the SQL database.
% dpconf create-jdbc-data-source -b sample_sql \ -B jdbc:mysql://host2.example.com:3306/ \ -J file:/net/host2.example/local/mysql/lib/jdbc.jar \ -S com.mysql.jdbc.Driver mysql1
You can set the number of connections for JDBC data source using the num-connection-incr(5dpconf), num-connection-init(5dpconf), and num-connection-limit(5dpconf) JDBC data source properties.
Specify the user name and password file for the SQL database.
% dpconf set-jdbc-data-source-prop mysql1 db-pwd:sqlpwd db-user:rootUser
The sqlpwd and rootUser are the password and username of the authenticating user and these credentials are stored in the database. You must configure the proxy server with username and password when configuring a JDBC data source.
The db-vendor property of the JDBC data source should be set using set-jdbc-data-source-prop if a third party JDBC driver, which is other than the one provided by DB Vendor, is used to connect to the RDBMS back-end. This data is used to construct vendor specific SQL statements, whenever possible, to improve performance. For more information, see db-vendor(5dpconf).
Restart the proxy server.
% dpadm restart /local/dps
Enable the data source, and allow write operations to the data source.
% dpconf set-jdbc-data-source-prop mysql1 is-enabled:true is-read-only:false
(Optional) Set monitoring-inactivity-timeout, monitoring-interval, and monitoring-mode for better monitoring of the open connections and data sources. .
For more information, see monitoring-inactivity-timeout(5dpconf), monitoring-interval(5dpconf), and monitoring-mode(5dpconf)
Create a JDBC data source pool named mysql1–pool.
% dpconf create-jdbc-data-source-pool mysql1-pool
Attach the JDBC data source to the data source pool.
% dpconf attach-jdbc-data-source mysql1-pool mysql1
Create a JDBC data view for the data source pool, named myjdbc1–view, with a base DN of o=sql.
% dpconf create-jdbc-data-view mysql1-view mysql1-pool o=sql
Create a JDBC table for each table in the MySQL database.
% dpconf create-jdbc-table employee1 EMPLOYEE % dpconf create-jdbc-table country1 COUNTRY % dpconf create-jdbc-table phone1 PHONE
The name of the table in the SQL database is case sensitive. Make sure that you use the same case that is used in the SQL database.
Create a JDBC attribute for each column in each table.
Creating a JDBC attribute maps the MySQL column to an LDAP attribute.
% dpconf add-jdbc-attr employee1 uid ID % dpconf add-jdbc-attr employee1 sn SURNAME % dpconf add-jdbc-attr employee1 userPassword PASSWORD % dpconf add-jdbc-attr employee1 roomNumber ROOM % dpconf add-jdbc-attr phone1 telephoneNumber NUMBER % dpconf add-jdbc-attr country1 countryName NAME
It is not necessary to create JDBC attributes for the phone1 user_id and country1 id columns, because these columns only contain the values that are present in EMPLOYEE.ID for which an LDAP attribute uid is already created.
Create a JDBC object class for the LDAP person object class.
In this step, the employee1 table is identified as the primary table, and the country1 and phone1 tables are identified as secondary tables. The creation of a JDBC object class also requires a DN. In this example, the DN is constructed from the uid attribute and the base DN of the data view.
% dpconf create-jdbc-object-class mysql1-view person employee1 country1 phone1 uid
Define the join rules between the primary table and the secondary tables.
A join rule is defined on the secondary table and determines how data from that table is linked to data from the primary table.
% dpconf set-jdbc-table-prop country1 filter-join-rule:ID=\${EMPLOYEE.COUNTRY_ID} % dpconf set-jdbc-table-prop phone1 filter-join-rule:USER_ID=\${EMPLOYEE.ID}
Specify the super class for the JDBC object class.
The super class indicates the LDAP object class from which the JDBC object class inherits attributes.
% dpconf set-jdbc-object-class-prop mysql1-view person super-class:top
Before you can test the JDBC data view, you must enable write access to the data view by configuring ACIs. By default, write access to non-LDAP data views is denied. For the purposes of this example, it is sufficient to add one global ACI that allows users to modify their own passwords.
As the Proxy Manager, add a pool of ACIs to the JDBC data source and add a global ACI that allows users to modify their own entries.
% ldapmodify -p 1389 -D "cn=proxy manager" -w password dn: cn=mysql1,cn=virtual access controls changetype: add objectclass: acisource dpsaci: (targetattr="*") (target = "ldap:///o=sql") (version 3.0; acl "enable all access for all users "; allow(all) userdn="ldap:///uid=kvaughan,o=sql";) cn: mysql1
Create a connection handler to handle connections to the o=sql domain.
% dpconf create-connection-handler mysql1-handler
Enable the connection handler and configure it to handle all binds from users in the o=sql domain.
% dpconf set-connection-handler-prop mysql1-handler is-enabled:true \ bind-dn-filters:"uid=.*,o=sql"
Configure the connection handler to use the pool of ACIs added previously.
% dpconf set-connection-handler-prop mysql1-handler aci-source:mysql1
As a user under o=sql, search the JDBC data source to verify that you can read from the data view.
% ldapsearch -p 1389 -D "uid=kvaughan,o=sql" -w mypwd -b o=sql "objectclass=*"
You must use the credentials of a user under o=sql.
As a user under o=sql, modify the userPassword attribute to verify that you can write to the data view.
% ldapmodify -p 1389 -D "uid=kvaughan,o=sql" -w mypwd dn: uid=kvaughan,o=sql changetype: modify replace: userPassword userPassword: myNewpwd

Happy birthday, Sen. John Cornyn.
If you want to say it to him in person — tonight — it'll cost you up to $5,000.
The Texas Republican, who celebrated his 61st birthday on Saturday, is doing it again this evening to raise campaign cash in advance of his 2014 re-election race.
The event, taking place at the best BBQ joint in the nation's capital (Hill Country Barbecue), is sponsored by a who's who of Texas corporate interests.
According to the invitation, obtained by the Sunlight Foundation's "Political Party Time" web site, the event's sponsors include energy giants such as ExxonMobil PAC, Tesoro PAC and Valero PAC, American Airlines' PAC (AA PAC), Microsoft's PAC, Verizon and Verizon Wireless' PAC, legal titan Bracewell Guiliani's PAC known as BRACEPAC, chemical industry leader Dow's PAC, and the Associated Builders & Contractors PAC.
The invitation was distributed by the GOP's Senate campaign committee, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, according to Political Party Time. Cornyn chaired the NRSC during the past two election cycles.
The requested contributions for revelers were $500 for individual donors, $1,000 for political action committees. To reach the host level, the required contributions jumped to $1,250 for individuals and $2,500 for PACs. Sponsors agreed to ante up $2,500 per person or $5,000 per PAC.
It's not the first time Cornyn has held a Texas-style fundraiser at Hill Country. After wildfires caused severe damage in Central Texas, Cornyn and other Texas lawmakers helped raise money for the victims at Washington's favorite place for Texas BBQ.
>>> Here's a copy of the birthday party invitation from the Political Party Time web site with a complete list of sponsors and hosts.

Music is kind of a big deal in Lunar, a lovely set of role-playing games that hit its peak on the PlayStation back in the late 90s, when a non-stop barrage of Japanese RPGs hit the United States after Final Fantasy VII showed the world that, yes, we're into this stuff.
"Golden Voice" (embedded above) stands out among a Lunar 2: Eternal Blue soundtrack that's absolutely chock full of delicious aural treats. This is a game with a bass-heavy funk song as smooth as any George Clinton record. An electrifying pop song that will make you want to get up and start dancing, unless you're a robot. A grand, horn-driven epic that wouldn't be out of place on a John Williams soundtrack.
More than any other song in the series, "Golden Voice" is a track that looks you in the eyes and says "Hey, we're not fucking around over here." It starts off with a four-measure ballad that series fans will recall from Lunar: Silver Star. If you've played the game, it might conjure up images of love and longing and sacrifice and harmony and all those other weird, stirring, inexplicable feelings that great stories are so good at evoking. The song was voiced in Silver Star — sung by the human reincarnation of a goddess, in fact — but it sounds better here. It's eternally hummable.

Shared use licensing allows multiple users to access the same application at the same time. The number of shared use licenses is different for each application, and is stated below.
These numbers apply to the entire UA system; other applications may be available to particular departments or campuses. Due to the limited number of shared use licenses available we ask that when you are finished using it, please close the application. This allows that license to be availble to another user.
Software Name / Number of Licenses

The KeyServer tracks available licenses and application use. When you run an application, the KeyServer Client on your computer checks with the KeyServer to see if a license applies to that application and, if so, whether a license is currently available for use. If one is, the software runs normally. If all the copies allowed are in use, the application will not run, but you will be given the option of being notified when a license becomes available (because another user quits the application).
Running Shared Use software requires: 1) a key server client (KeyAccess) installed on the computer that will run the application; 2) configuration of KeyAccess to connect to the UA KeyServer at address keys.alaska.edu; 3) an internet connection to the UA KeyServer from an on-campus network node, or an off-campus connection VPN connection.
These shared use licenses are for University of Alaska academic use only (i.e., instruction, learning, research, and public service) by University of Alaska employees and students.
Applications left running on your computer generally continue to run normally even if your network connection is interrupted. So if you put your laptop to sleep with an application open, you will be able to continue using it later off-network. For extended off-network use of this software on University-owned (not personally-owned) comptuers, employees may use "KeyCheckout" - software that enables a longer term "check out" of mobile license keys.
Yes, you are allowed to use both purchased and keyed software on your computer. If you have no keyed applications installed, you may simply install and use your software.
If you purchased software that is normally keyed, and you run other keyed software, you will need to email email@example.com with a request for "KeyServer exception for personal software." In this email, please include your name, your department, the software you have purchased (and number of licenses, if multiple), and proof of purchase (receipt, scanned upc, serial number, etc). We will also need to know the names of the computers where the software will be installed. Once we receive this request, we can make the changes required for you to use your software.
There have been some issues noticed when downloading KeyServer applications using Google Chrome. Please use Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer to avoid these issues, and successfully download applications from this site.

A system whereby an employer must pay, or provide insurance to pay, the lost wages and medical expenses of an employee who is injured on the job.Workers' compensation law is governed by statutes in every state. Specific laws vary with each jurisdiction, but key features are consistent. An employee is automatically entitled to receive certain benefits when she suffers an occupational disease or accidental personal injury arising out of and in the course of employment. Such benefits may include cash or wage-loss benefits, medical and career rehabilitation benefits, and in the case of accidental death of an employee, benefits to dependents. The Negligence and fault of either the employer or the employee usually are immaterial. Independent contractors are not entitled to workers' compensation benefits, and in some states domestic workers and agricultural workers are excluded or only partially covered.The formula for permanent partial disability benefits varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction but usually considers the employee's average weekly wage combined with the degree of permanent disability. A worker who is permanently disabled from working at all may be entitled to permanent total disability benefits.

Sunday Worship
Worship at Uplyme Church Regular communal worship provides an opportunity for us to meet with God, worship together and find fellowship. We aim to provide regular communal worship in a variety of styles which are relevant to those around us. Our worship involves, and is often lead, by a team of church members.
10am Morning Worship Is relatively informal, contemporary and inclusive. We use uncomplicated, modern liturgy and a wide range of hymns and songs. Children are always welcome and we run Junior Church, in the most weeks of term time, in the upstairs area of church. Communion is usually on the first and third Sundays of the month.
Café Worship Takes place at 10.00am on the last Sunday of the month. It is a simple, informal worship service, with dvds or films, activities for all ages, discussion groups, songs and prayers. As the name suggests, refreshments are served beforehand and throughout.
6pm Evening Worship Is quiet, contemplative and seasonal. We draw on the rich tapestry of Christian liturgy and worship. Communion or an Agape Meal is usually on the second and fourth Sundays of the month.
