Marconi Art Project Exhibition at the Tourist Office, Clifden
SaltPond Visitor Center Exhibition 2017
I started the Marconi Art Project in 2014, the 140th year since the birth of Guglielmo Marconi, inventor and Nobel Prize winner. I showed the first exhibition during Clifden Arts Festival in September. It is an ongoing series of works inspired by the landscape of sites used by Guglielmo Marconi for his Wireless Stations in the early 20th century. I began with the Derrygimlagh Site near Clifden in Connemara which is now also a Discovery Point along the Wild Atlantic Way.
The project continues with more Connemara paintings and photographs.
A series of my paintings from the Cape Cod Marconi site areas in Massachusetts were exhibited in the SaltPond Visitor Center in Cape Cod March 2017.

The Nigerian Connection
Last year I did two separate pieces of work with delegates from Nigeria. They were eager to learn and full of fun. The country clearly has a number of issues to overcome. But there is a willingness to absorb European techniques in a variety of industries including communications.

Once again, SEEN ventures on to the hot, thirsty streets of London to bring you the very best in summer cocktails. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. Everywhere you look, gin cocktails seem to be the order of the day, so why not try the iconic Sipsmith brand at the Foxlow restaurants and bars in Clerkenwell, Stoke Newington (on their new terrace no less), Chiswick (also with a new terrace) and Balham? The cocktails will be available from Wednesday 6th July to Wednesday 21st September and are priced between £8 and £9.50.
Chiswick's Sipsmith distillery has produced London Dry Gin, London Cup, Sloe Gin, Sipping Vodka and Damson Vodka. Foxlow's bartenders (handily round the corner) have created a stunning menu of cocktails from these ingredients, perfect for Wimbledon, the Olympics or just sipping al fresco on those new terraces we just mentioned.
SEEN can't wait to sample, well, any of them – especially when they're available for £5 from 5 – 7pm on weekdays and Saturdays at Brunch. Never have hours been so happy. We'll be choosing from the following:
• Chiswick Summer Punch: Prosecco, rhubarb, London Dry Gin and lemon
• 6 O'Clock Cup: Sipping vodka, watermelon, wild strawberry, bitters, and ginger ale.
• Strawberry Beret: London Dry Gin, strawberries, coconut water and Italian vermouth.
• Damson Vesper: Damson Vodka, elderflower and Whittern Farm Cassis
• Westside: London Dry Gin, lime, and fresh summer herbs.
SEEN can think of no finer combination than Sipsmith's hand-made spirits and Foxlow's cocktails. Pair them with Foxlow's seasonal and locally produced food, freshly cooked and dedicated to small independent producers, and you have a memorable dining experience; no small feat in the teeming capital.

House Membership Idaho State Legislature
One putting facet of homes in America is the flimsy quality of even the most expensive ones. Houses are built actually like a home of cards. Weak beams, plywood, flimsy insulation, flimsy siding and roofing that both blows off in excessive winds or simply rots away after a few years. Its really no marvel that come tornado or hurricane and houses are literally ripped off of their foundations and tossed into the air. Motors, alternators and batteries can all be bought on the scrapyard. So can massive home equipment. Sometimes, tv sets, vcr's, computer systems and other broken electronics will also be bought, however I'd suggest calling the scrapyard first. Ended up being given some tablets for a urinary an infection for him regardless that the identical vet stated that his kidneys seem to be nice, bought pushed for £300 dental job. We're both moderately fascinated within the occult and supernatural, have mild melancholy and anxiety points, bitterly resentful etc.
If there is anything that may very well be inflicting both of them anxiety, that may be the supply. Something new or a change in their lives. Attempt giving further consideration and petting when you may to make them really feel safe. Should you discover no change, they may want nervousness medication. the cupboards have been made by a neighborhood cabinet maker. I imagine the wood is either birch or poplar. Me within the early Nineteen Nineties wearing my typical clubbing attire of shorts, t-shirt and footwear by which I may dance all night.
In the 1900s (decade), some house designers started using prefabrication Sears, Roebuck & Co. first marketed their Sears Catalog Properties to most of the people in 1908. Prefab methods grew to become fashionable after World Warfare II First small inside rooms framing, then later, whole partitions have been prefabricated and carried to the development site The original impetus was to make use of the labor force inside a shelter throughout inclement weather. Extra not too long ago builders have begun to collaborate with structural engineers who use computer systems and finite aspect evaluation to design prefabricated metal-framed houses with identified resistance to high wind-loads and seismic forces. These newer products present labor savings, more constant quality, and possibly accelerated construction processes.
I like Data and the Physician – Data as a result of he has an innocent desire to learn to change into more human, and he grows continually. Prior to that, we had been going to Manchester Hacienda every Saturday evening, where we had danced to the likes of Sasha, Graeme Park and Mike Pickering. This was in late 1992 by means of to 1993. I really wish to go to your web site and see what you plan. Please let me know when it is back up again. I'll view it, and we will speak extra later. Thank you for stopping by and informing me of your plans.
Despite having a job, individuals still can still lose their properties or be unable to afford housing. By that time, I was not a lot use to anybody and spent the day sleeping and waking up to eat chocolate and crisps. You make a number of wonderful factors. It is clear that my proposed ground plan resolves some points, however not others. Through the years it's turn into a second residence to us. Even when so lots of the different outdated vehicles and buses and trailers had been traded or bought, this one remained a permanent fixture in our lives. Where a gleaming portion of their childhood will probably be forever secured in the memories born in this house.

Case in Point
Study Finds Donors Are Not too Anxious about Overhead Rates
February 12, 2018 Despite their professed concern that nonprofits spend too much on overhead, donors pay far less attention to the overhead ratio than is often assumed, a recently completed study has concluded.
The charitable sector as a whole has a reputation problem, according to the analysis, part of The Donor Mindset Study, a series of research reports about American charitable donors completed by Grey Matter Research and Opinions4Good.
Nearly six out of 10 American donors believe the typical charity spends more than a reasonable amount on overhead, the study said. In addition, donors often believe the overspending is substantial. Half of all donors who feel charities overspend also feel they typically spend at least double what they should on overhead, administration, and fundraising.
The average donor considers 19% spent on overhead to be a reasonable limit, but believes the typical charity spends 28%, the study found.
At the same time, donors often have no idea what their favorite charity actually spends on overhead. And while there are widespread perceptions that charities in general spend too much, nearly half of all donors have a favorite charity that reports an overhead ratio of 20% or higher. Ron Sellers, president of Grey Matter Research, noted that charitable organizations may need to re-evaluate the importance of keeping overhead ratios as low as possible as an element in attracting and retaining donors.
In a variety of ways, our research demonstrates that overhead ratios are not as important to donor decisions as many people believe, Sellers said. Placing too much focus on keeping expenses very low can restrict available resources and harm an organizations ability to attract and retain talent, take reasonable risks, and invest in systems and infrastructure that will aid future growth and efficiency.
The new study, in a sense, confirms the message Dan Pallotta, president of the Cambridge-based
Charity Defense Council
has been championing. He maintains that one of the most detrimental questions donors and watchdog agencies can ask concerns the share of donations that goes to the cause vs. overhead, because it makes you think that overhead is not part of the cause, that overhead steals from the cause.
The new report notes that the sectors poor reputation in this area may actually benefit many individual organizations: If you believe the typical charity spends 28% on overhead, ratios as high as the low-to-mid 20s would seem lower than average, even if theyre a tick above what you consider to be reasonable spending.
According to the report:
While the average donor believes 19% is a reasonable ceiling for overhead spending, nearly half of all donors name a favorite organization that has an overhead ratio exceeding this.
Only 11% of all donors name a favorite charity with a seriously low overhead ratio (below 10 cents on the dollar).
About half of all donors believe their favorite charitys overhead ratio is higher than it actually is.
Among donors who feel very confident they know their favorite charitys overhead ratio, 70% are off by at least 50%.
40% of donors believe their favorite charitys overhead ratio exceeds what they feel is a reasonable limit yet that organization still remains their favorite charity.
When asked their primary reason the organization they named is their favorite charity, just 12% say its because the organization uses their money very efficiently.
This research doesnt mean an overhead ratio of 60% would be acceptable to donors. This is not a blank check for profligate spending, nor are donor perceptions the only reason to keep overhead reasonable ," Sellers said. "But at the same time, we see no evidence that scrimping to drop your overhead ratio from 19% to 16%, for example, will make your organization significantly more appealing to donors.

Spot The Difference
It's not rocket science as to why we see so many Land Rovers about in Britain – it is their home, after all. While this may not be revolutionary news to you, it's still quite amazing to think that no two modified Land Rovers are ever entirely the same.
'Rubbish!' I hear you say. But consider this… no two people are the same, either. Even when you come across identical twins, are they ever really 100% the same? Nature might have made them that way, and their parents might decide to do the same, but as they grow up they'll each take on their own traits and you'll be able to tell them apart from the way they dress and act, the haircuts they get, even their taste in piercings and tattoos.
The point is this applies to 4x4s, too. Not when they're lined up at the factory gate waiting for a transporter to take them to their first owners, but once those owners and several more have all stamped their own unique personalities on them.
This is apparent in the simplest of things, like how many miles each vehicle has covered, how frequently they've been washed, polished and vacuumed, whether they've had dogs living in the back of them and, of course, how often (and how vigorously) they've been used off-road. That's why no two used cars are worth the same – and why no two modified 4x4s will have exactly the same story to tell.
There are two guys out there, though, who wanted exactly the same off-roader in their lives. And aside from the small matter of each truck being different colour, to all intents and purposes they've achieved it.
So, we have here two examples of the Land Rover Discovery 2. One is orange, the other silver. So they're easy to tell apart. Unless you're colour blind, at least, in which case you've got precious little to go on.
Shane Penfold owns the orange Disco, while Steve Harris owns its silver twin. Both Land Rovers have heavy-duty this and Terrafirma that, and they're both very happy when exploring the lanes of Somerset. As anyone should be. So, what is it that makes them different to a standard D2 – and similar to each other?
Well, for starters they were built by the same people – Shane himself, from Fatcat 4x4, and Dave Knapp of DK Automotive.
'I'd seen Shane's, what that could do and the flexibility of having the D2, and decided I wanted one too,' says Steve. 'I've known him for some time and he's done plenty of work for me on previous vehicles, but never a full build before.'
Among the list of current and former vehicles for Steve are a Range Rover Sport, a BMW X5 and a Toyota Hi-Lux Invincible. Safe to say his interest in 4x4s goes beyond just off-roading, then – and indeed, his Disco 2 is simply a laning toy.
Shane on the other hand uses his for everything: work, towing and laning – and, once it's completely 'knackered', this Discovery will be moved on to trialling.
'Mine was the guinea pig really,' explains Shane. 'I went for a Disco 2 because you can get a lot more performance from it over a D1. Put a PSI chip in, remove the EGR and whack in a big intercooler and you have instant power!'
The intercooler is one of the few differences between these two Discos. While Steve has an Allmakes intercooler, Shane has fitted one from Allisport – and his reasoning is clear.
'I may have built Steve the truck, but I wasn't going to let him outrun me at the lights!' Shane laughs. I think it's safe to say most people would do the same, but why the D2 craze anyway?
'A lot of the 200s and 300s have rotted out. The backs of some of the D2s can be pretty bad 'cos people dip them in the sea, but you can get replacements for them.'
Both the guys admire Defenders, but the Discovery provides a welcome compromise to overcoming some of the Defender's drawbacks. 'I'm a big guy,' explains Steve. 'I'm 6'4", and a Defender is just too small for me. The Disco is comfy to drive – in fact, it's about as comfy as you can get while beating yourself up!'
'I agree,' adds Shane. 'A Defender would be nice, but they're a bit too expensive still and you end up driving with your legs out the window!'
So the lads are content with their choice of toy, and it sounds like you'll have a hard job taking either Disco off their hands. Steve, who's so generous he even lets other family members use his favourite toy from time to time, says he'll keep this truck until it dies – so Shane must have done something right! 'There is nothing I'd change on it. I've had no issues – it's reliable, and a good solid truck that has got me to places others trucks wouldn't have.'
The orange Disco was completed three or four years ago, having been done over the space of six months or so. Steve's silver one was of course finished more recently. Both builds use one company's components almost to the exclusion of anything else – Shane is a Terrafirma dealer, and as you may have spotted his Disco is a bit of a self-propelled advert for the brand, but aside from this business interest he just rates them as a user. 'We've trialled and tested the shocks and springs, putting them through their paces and each time they have lasted. They're decent value, too.'
As we mentioned earlier, Steve has had a variety of 4x4s from all sorts of makers. Shane, meanwhile, has stayed predominantly with Land Rovers; as well as having the D2 as his daily drive, he also has a Tomcat to play in when the opportunity arises. Watch this space for a forthcoming article on that truck, too. How, then, does his do-it-all workhorse compare to the others he's owned?
'I have covered about 50,000 miles in the D2 now,' he answers. 'I'd never sell it, and if you ever popped a galvanised chassis under it you'd have one truly great vehicle. This has to be one of the better vehicles I've had – I wish I'd done it sooner!
'Previously, I had a Discovery 1, which I always kept standard and never really took off-road. Now I've done this one up I'd really recommend modding them.'
Jealousy can be a terrible thing, but if the guy with the truck is a mechanic – and a mate – you're in the hot seat to have one just like it. 'Dave and Shane had an open brief really on the build,' admits Steve. 'I simply said "build it to go anywhere," so they did!
'They kept me informed at the different stages and it's reassuring with the knowledge they have – they know what they're doing. I've seen some of Shane's race trucks too and once I wanted something built, going with Shane and Dave was an obvious choice.'
At present, fixing up Discovery 2s is still very much the trend (at least in Somerset). However, sooner or later the 1s and 2s of the Discovery world will become even more scarce and the likes of the Discovery 3 will be knocking on the door to your wallet, asking for you to consider them for a makeover.
I'm sensing a turning up of the nose will be the general reaction to that last sentence, but watch this space – because you'll be reading articles like this on the D3 before you know it.
'The D3s only need to come down another two or three thousand pounds and you'll start to see them being modded more and more,' says Shane. 'There's coil conversions out there even now, and if you replace the electric handbrake and the rubbish bushes then you're on to something. Hopefully, we'll have a project on one of them later this year.'
For now, though, these guys are more than happy staying with their Discovery 2s. While it may be difficult to differentiate much between this pair of Land Rovers, ultimately you just need to realise they're two of a kind – and that kind is simply two brilliantly capable Discos.

:main characters
Name: Larc Phest
Age: 16
Hair: Silvery White-ish
Eyes: Gray
Stuff: Larc is an otaku-esque, 16-year-old boy whose favorite Terran shows include [but are not limited to] Fishcake, a spiffy ninja story, and Donnie Specter, a show about a half-boy half-ghost. Although he's the same age as the rest of his squadmates, he's a year behind them in school because he transferred from a school in the nation of Hazel, which could be considered Razel's rival nation. He's a part of Squad 17, the squad given the privilege of starting upper division training a year early, though as to why they have such a privilege is beyond them since they're certainly not qualified for it. He's a bit of a hyperactive kid and is enthusiastic about everything, which usually rubs off on the people he's around.
Name: Hinhan Quelle
Age: 16
Hair: Light Green
Eyes: Yellow/Gold
Stuff: Hinhan is one of Larc's friends and also a member of Squad 17. She's got a pretty mellow personality and may be the most rational member of Squad 17. While doesn't get as obviously excited as Larc, inside she's bubbling like a little girl. She likes a lot of the same things that Larc does, but isn't quite as open about it as he is.
Name: Bezel Wikane
Age: 16
Hair: Black
Eyes: Orange
Stuff: Bezel, another of Larc's squadmates and now his roommate, is a tad sulky and can get annoyed quite easily. He, Hinhan, and Kuric were already friends, but since Larc transferred just this semester, he hasn't had much time to warm up to the kid and thinks he's a bit annoying. He can seem a bit surly, but he's a nice enough guy once you get to know him.
Name: Kuric Toretea
Age: 16
Hair: Dark Blue
Eyes: Who knows? o_O Well, Hinhan and her other girl-type friends know. Why don't you ask them?
Stuff: A tad on the crazy side, Kuric is, at heart, a good person [or maybe she's just crazy...]. Only a very few number of boys have ever seen her eyes, since she's always wearing her goggles. Maybe a few more boys would be interested in seeing her eyes if she wasn't so...insane. She's into computers and technology and hopes to someday hack into the Razel Special Ops restricted network.
Name: Captain Muri Kathes
Hair: Silvery White-ish
Eyes: Green
Stuff:For unknown reasons *coughcough*, Larc was spying on Captain Kathes. She is Squad 17's squad leader. It's been a while since she's taken a squad assignment, but why she's the leader of that particular squad remains to be seen. She's got a mischievous streak and likes to mess with people, though some could mistake it for her being smug.
Name: Commander Oriell Nauriole
Age: 32
Hair: Dark Blue
Eyes: Yellow/Gold
Stuff: Commander Nauriole is the Commander of Razel Special Operations and, in essence, the principal/headmaster of the Razel Special Operations Academy. In a controversial promotion, he succeeded his grandfather as Commander. He is very calm and calculating, though his mischievous streak could rival Captain Kathes's. He seems to be good friends with her. Older officers in the military don't often get along with him, likely due to his young age.
:other characters
Name: Kelban Setzwell
Age: 17
Hair: Very light brown / dirty-ish blond
Eyes: Blue
Stuff: The youngest son of the prominent Setzwell military family, Kelban is a sullen and irritable person and pulls no punches when making his disdain known. What he has against Squad 17 is still a mystery. He is the only child that has joined Special Operations; all his siblings either joined the Navy or the Central Forces.
Name: Catalyst Nova Kassa
Age: 29
Stuff: Although he can come off as an audacious and conceited person, it's mostly just for show and he actually just likes to make people laugh with his ridiculous behavior. Regardless, people who don't have the right temperament tend to tire of his presence. He seems to be good friends with Captain Kathes. Also, according to his niece, he looks like Mr. Scarecrow from Fishcake.
Name: Admin Aria Yaruk
Age: 32
Name: Former Commander Triell Nauriole
Age: 81
Stuff: Triell is Oriell's grandfather. In a controversial decision, he and several officers appointed Oriell as the new Razel Special Ops Commander.

U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto fielded questions from dozens of Nevada residents Tuesday night at Las Vegas City Hall, touching on topics of immigration, organized labor and President Donald Trump's proposed "skinny budget."
"We are a multicolored fabric of immigrants that build this country," Cortez Masto said when asked whether she would support an initiative to protect undocumented immigrants by making Nevada a "sanctuary" state. "The ones that I have met are working hard and are contributing to our economy."
The nearly two-hour town hall featured about 450 attendees, mostly supporters of the Democratic senator. Attendees applauded, shouted and gave a standing ovation when Cortez Masto was introduced. The applause continued throughout the evening as Cortez Masto answered questions.
Cortez Masto argued that a budget proposed by Trump will result in the loss of "so many agencies that are a benefit to our community." She cited proposed cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency as well as the proposed elimination of the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities as "devastating."
"It's top-lined, but it doesn't give specifics," she said of the federal budget, which at 53 pages was the smallest budget released by any U.S. president during the past presidential administrations.
The U.S. senator also blamed the president for his negative rhetoric toward media outlets and suggested that the arrest of KLAS Channel 8 cameraman Neb Solomon on Saturday during a peaceful protest outside of Trump's namesake Las Vegas hotel was a product of Trump's efforts to "denigrate the press."
Cortez Masto doubled-down on her support of voter-approved legalized marijuana in Nevada, saying she was against federal intervention proposed by the Trump administration and U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
"I will continue to fight for the state's right to legalize medical and recreational marijuana," she said.
The first-term U.S. senator and former Nevada attorney general added to a group of five audience members holding up signs in favor of $15 hourly minimum wages that she supported raising the wage, but did not outline any legislation.
"I want the American Dream for everyone, but I need your help," she said.
She reaffirmed her support for organized labor, telling UNLV student Matt Kimball that she would support "pro-labor" candidates in the 2018 midterm elections.
Many of those asking questions represented political organizations in Nevada, like Hispanic activist group Mi Familia Vota and the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada. Over a dozen people asking questions also thanked the senator for her presence at the event and asked what they or their respective organizations could do to work more collaboratively with her office.
Tuesday's Cortez Masto town hall took place one day after fellow U.S. Sen. Dean Heller and Rep. Mark Amodei spoke in front of angry crowds in Reno on Monday.
Cortez Masto took note of the strong turnout, telling attendees their energy was "incredible." She encouraged them to continue to make their voices heard for the "end game" of the 2018 elections.
The senator was not asked specifically about professional sports in Las Vegas. But she did express her disapproval for a projected $750 million of public funds set to be included in the $1.9 billion budget for the new Las Vegas Raiders stadium as part of a separate question on public spending.
"I don't think public money should be used to build the stadium," she said.
Cortez Masto's town hall came just hours after she toured the Boulder Solar 1 facility in the Eldorado Valley on Tuesday morning. The senator joined Boulder City Mayor Rod Woodbury and representatives from NV Energy and Sunrun for the tour.

Ductwork and Duct Cleaning Services in Milford, DE
Ventilation systems can often play a huge role in indoor air quality. It is necessary to have all of your ductwork inspected routinely to ensure that your home is circulating clean air. If your ducts have been operating for some time without inspection, they may be circulating odors, dust, and other contaminants into your air. Contact First Class HVAC today and we'll have a certified technician inspect all your ductwork and provide you with a recommended course of action.
The benefits of servicing your ductwork include:
- Eliminate odors
- Restore energy efficiency
- Reduce the potential for mold growth
When air ducts contain holes and leaks, not only do harmful gases enter, but also heated or cooled air escapes from the ducts. This is why the central air system may not feel like it uses to.
Apart from sealing your ducts and repairing those holes and leaks in your ductwork, another key step in preventing heat loss is to insulate the ducts. It is important you find an HVAC company will take the proper measures to do so. Our ducts are insulated with proper insulation to help deliver the air comfort you request. First Class HVAC is the go-to company for all your ductwork needs!
Geothermal Heating and Cooling in Milford, DE
Geothermal Heating
In the winter months, our geothermal heating and cooling systems use the earth loop to extract heat from the ground. This heat is carried to the ground source heat pumps where it's concentrated and then sent as warm, comfortable air throughout your home.
Geothermal Cooling
During the summer, the heating process is reversed – our geothermal heating and cooling systems take the heat from your home and transfer it to the underground loop where it is then absorbed into the cooler ground. The geothermal heat pump uses the cool water returning from the earth to create cool air for your home.

Scammers Hackers and Social Media
"Investigator Martinez. You have been called on the witness stand as the head of a team investigating cases of cyber scams. Please, can you tell to the court anything pertinent with regards to the case of Ms. Ann Santos?"
"The case involving Ms. Santos is still under investigation, Your Honor. It is for this reason, why I am not at liberty to give more than what is already exposed by the media. As it is known, Ms Santos and a syndicate, posing as Sgt Brown, met online, about 4 four months ago, in a social media site. They have corresponded with each other, purely, through e-mail. This is how they operate in order to get more information from their prospective victims once the full trust is obtained."
Ann bowed her head, remembering how her friends convinced her to join that site. John added her as friend, and then, insisted they communicate through their e-mails. John avidly courted her, and was so eager to win her heart. His e-mails were so loving and eager. How should she know they were all lies only?
"Investigator Martinez. Are we implying that social media is purely a medium for hackers and con artists?"
"Definitely not, You Honor. Social media is an amazing way for faster, more convenient method of communication between friends, families and business acquaintances. It is a way of connecting strangers all over the world with same interests, building lucrative networks, sharing new and helpful knowledges, global awareness on wider range of human issues and activities. Depending on the kind of site, social media is even creating emotional support system . Social media is basically the most convenient and cheapest forum for human interactions. Unfortunately, it can and has been used by unscrupulous personalities and organizations. Such has been the case we have right now with Ms Ann Santos."
Regret and guilt gripped Ann's heart. Many of the friends she had on the site has warned her against trusting John too much. She did not believe them, listening to John's lies about her friends being jealous, controlling and manipulative. Ann even went as far as blocking off friends she knew for years in her office. John has been able ostracize everyone that has shown doubt and suspicion of their relationship.
"How would a syndicate be able to operate in such large scale? Would it be not difficult to correspond with so many unwary men and women at the same time?"
"Not at all! They have prewritten messages, designed so the victims will reply in such way that their next prepared mail would be usable. It would be supposedly to look like they're sharing their life's secrets. Their last messages would then be encouraging the victims to share more financial information. This would go on until the last one asking help for certain financial difficulty, so they can then be free to meet each other, and quite often, the promise of getting married."
So that is why John's messages never answered any of my questions about his prior messages. He probably has not even read any of my replies, Ann thought dejectedly. I feel so stupid!
"Investigator. If what you say is true, how can such syndicate come into a social site without being detected? They would need a great manpower to monitor such kind of page. And would not the victims be interacting with each other as members of a group page? Surely, one of them may easily slip a thing about his or her relationship with any of the other member."
"Let me elaborate, Your Honor. This kind of syndicate need not create a site page or group to recruit their victims. They can easily join any site, page, or just browse randomly. They will then create a bogus profile with pictures taken from other sites, invite few members to be in their friends list, along with their other cloned profiles."
Investigator Martinez shifted on the witness chair. "They do not need a big manpower. One person can have 5 or more 'clients' in one profile. They will then be notified of every message and post they receive. That is why e-mail correspondence is convenient for them, since that way, they can control the frequency of the communication. This will also make the victims feel desperate enough to help in any 'financial needs' sending money and unwittingly information of their banking and credit status which will then be easily hacked online by the syndicate for any purpose the information gathered may be of use for them."
Ann thought of the excuses John had told her about why he cannot reply soon. Being in the dangerous war zone, attacked by the guerilla enemy, and secret missions assigned to him by his superiors. She was so scared and worried that something bad may happen to John. Every night she prayed hard and long for his safety. Then, came to a decision that she will do everything she can to save and get John out of that hell he was drafted into. Ann remembered how she sent money to John through her bank credit account for the payment of his pass in the Army so they can meet abroad and get married. She will get pregnant soon and that would release John from his draft. That was when John stopped corresponding and all this trouble begun.
"Also, Your Honor, this Sgt. John Brown need not even to be human. He can easily be a computer-programmed identity, with an IP address that bounces in different sites all over the world. This and the other modern technology firewall system is what make our team's investigating efforts difficult."
Everyone inside the courtroom turned to look at the woman sitting besides the defense lawyer's vacant chair, as she screamed and cried hysterically.

OUTSIDE the ground Hearts were trying to sell shares. Inside, it was like they were trying to
sell the jerseys.
In a game they should have had out of sight they ended up needing a desperate John Sutton equaliser 10 seconds from the end of injury time to salvage a point.
Michael Fraser's heroic display had County on the brink of back-to-back wins over the capital's clubs after last week's 3-2 victory over high-flying Hibs.
Arvy Novikovas had given Hearts the lead in the first half but Richie Brittain's penalty and Stuart Kettlewell's killer strike had turned the tables at Tynecastle.
It was a position County should never have been in, according to Jambos boss John McGlynn.
And he'll be asking some serious questions of a suicidal defence that are undoing their chances of climbing in to the top six.
He said: "I suppose we should be grateful that we never gave up and salvaged a point – but it's still two dropped.
"It's the same old story. We're not killing teams off when we're on top.
"We dominated but for some reason, despite our opponents getting far fewer chances than us, the ratio of goals they get from them is high.
"They scored two from what, three or four chances?
"We were so far ahead in the first half but maybe were guilty of thinking we just had to come out for the second half to win the match.
"The penalty we gave away though was cheap. But to be fair when you're 2-1 down with not long to go, you keep going right to the end. We did that and I'm glad big Sutty got the equaliser."
One thing not coming cheap will be Hearts shares – but McGlynn was snippy when he was asked if he'd be investing.
"I'm not getting into that," he muttered.
Whether the fans are is another question. They took a while to get in to the game – the atmosphere was subdued by Tynecastle standards, despite their team getting out of the blocks quickly.
Maybe the gloom had set in over the tax bill, the wages debacle and the transfer embargo.
Maybe the supporters were all too busy reading their prospectuses and calling their stockbrokers.
Either way, the mood was flat.
An early goal would have helped but Fraser made the first of half-a-dozen class saves to deny Jambos in the 16th minute.
County had lost only one goal in the first six SPL games, then 12 in their next four.
Their priority yesterday was getting back to basics – but it nearly unravelled with some poor defending.
Former Inverness and Motherwell keeper Fraser had to make a terrific double save – first from a drilled Andy Driver shot then a launch at the loose ball from Ryan McGowan.
Beyond that chances were few and far between. It wasn't quite midweek in the Nou Camp but the end product was disappointing.
A Darren Barr header and a Callum Patterson penalty claim, deservedly knocked back by ref Craig Charleston, were as good as it got.
County showed little at the other end apart from a solitary 30-yard swerving shot from Ian Vigurs that forced home keeper Jamie MacDonald into a panicky parry.
But the landscape changed five minutes from the break with a goal made in Lithuania. Marius Zaliukas sent his pass along a rope up the right channel for Novikovas to chase down. The weight was perfect and the little winger beat both Marc Fitzpatrick and Fraser to get the touch.
The keeper managed to snake out an ankle to deflect the ball and for a second it looked touch and go if he'd done enough – but it spun just at the right moment to sneak in.
The little winger could have had his second two minutes after the break as well, getting another look at the whites of Fraser's eyes again – but this time the keeper got enough on the ball to push it for a corner.
Barr also had a chance from the resulting delivery, only Mihail Kovacevic on the post denying the midfielder his first goal since the Scottish Cup Final. But a game Hearts were in control of slipped through their fingers.
Richie Brittain's ball into the box from the right was decent but Andy Webster's shove in Kettlewell's back was criminally blatant – the most stonewall spot-kick you'll see.
Brittain dispatched it – and the place flatlined.
Hearts still had chances – Fraser produced heroics at times and denied a Ryan Stevenson stinger.
Then he had to deal with an ambitious hitchkick by Paterson teed up by the dangerous Novikovas – who was strangely subbed straight after it – followed by a 20-yarder from sub Sutton.
But you always sensed bad news on the way for the home side – and Kettlewell duly delivered it with 13 minutes left. The Hearts defence, Barr in particular, stood off him, waiting for the little ball out wide to meet what turned out to be a brilliant decoy run by Brittain.
Instead the midfielder took advantage of the space and just smashed a shot low and hard past MacDonald from 20 yards.
You wondered how Hearts would respond from that body blow.
But just when they were on the brink, Danny Grainger flung one last ball into the mix, Zaliukas fluffed his attempt – and the ball fell into the path of Sutton who spun and smashed home with 10 seconds of the three minutes' injury time remaining.
The Englishman admitted: "My goal was a bit scrappy but we'd put enough pressure on them to deserve it."

the text on Roy Staab for the Polish Catalogue of - Poruszające prądy, 5 Land Art Festiwal / landart.lubelskie.pl
English: the Bug River Meanders Where the river flows slowly, trend is weak, which is in the middle course, usually formed meanders. As time passed, they move towards the mouth, they can become oxbow lakes. There pets can enjoy the benefits of a mild ecosystem. But only briefly, then oxbow lake overgrown with vegetation and disappears. This year's Land Art Festival also had its oxbow lakes - this could be described as works that in nature have a beginning, have become an integral part of it. In the water, in the middle of mainstream, it has placed its implementation entitled MOVING CURRENTS, Roy Staab (USA). Braided twine reeds and branches represent here openwork design, mimicking his tangle of river currents. The measure flow is sort of a prohibited ground, but also anyone's, but while creating jobs territorial claims reported by Polish and Belarusian border guards. This subtle, reflecting in the water work, visible from both sides, seems to ignore political order and return to the eternal order of nature. Construction elements intertwine and unravel currents mix, and the animals, not paying attention to the political border, exist where it is convenient to them. Also beavers, which - apparently interested in the implementation - repeatedly violated it.

So we're 4 sleeps away from the big event!
To say I'm nervous about it is an understatement. This is the first event that I've produced in a long while and even then it's nowhere near the same. In a previous life, I was a conference producer, which I slogged out for 4 years, and although I've been able to use what I learnt in that role, it's got nothing on organising something theatrical.
I started this about 5 weeks ago. As a Producer I had access to 7 plays:
- Hi Vis by Clara Brennan
- Housekeeping by Lucy Kirkwood
- The Fat Man by Anders Lustgarten (based on initial idea with Simon Stephens)
- Things That Make No Sense by Dennis Kelly
- Whiff Whaff by Jack Thorne
- A Bigger Banner by Mark Ravenhill and
- Open Heart Surgery by Laura Lomas
I asked the Technical team at my university if we could use a space at uni or at one of our linked spaces. They worked bloody hard and got me a space in the studio at The Rose Theatre. For that I am eternally grateful as it meant I didn't need to pay for a space.
I couldn't think how I would be able to describe to students, in an email, the themes and contents of these unique plays, so I set up read-throughs for prospective directors and actors. I then had to negotiate who was directing what and work out what to do with those plays that weren't taken.
I and 2 other directors chose Housekeeping, were definitely going ahead. For me The Fat Man was my favourite piece but I felt I couldn't do it justice so I emailed and Head of Dance and asked for the finest choreographers to put it together as a physical theatre piece.
4 down!
In the end I thought Things That Make No Sense was too valuable to lose so I took that on too. (Yes, right there. That is my downfall!!) and the other directors wanted to act and direct Hi Vis taking us to 6!Unfortunately that meant that Open Heart Surgery had to be dropped as although it was popular with the actors it wasn't with directors.
Next we went crazy and held open auditions! For those of you who've been here before, you might have read my post Are We Colour Blind? which expressed my feelings on the turn out but I was so happy to see those students who had never auditioned before. A lot of student productions can feel like extensions of cliques and it was great to think that some I don't usually see at auditions came to this one. So here we all are:
The Theatre Uncut miscreants representing Kingston Town.
Front row, l-r: Lucy, Emily, Mima, Lacey, Simone, Kerry, Sam, Alicia
Back row, l-r: Jenny, Kat, Ines, Selina, Kelsey, Caleb, Sarah, Stuart
Casting done, we started to rehearse. Some of the university's finest dance students (Selina, Caleb and Stuart) are choreographing The Fat Man by Anders Lustgarten. Possibly my favourite piece of the lot, they're working on an exciting physical theatre piece.The dance students work 3 times harder than the drama students do, every hour, of every day. They put me to shame but I was thrilled to be working with them and I'm so glad to learn a different way of working. This monologue is such a powerful call to arms with some intriguing facts and I cannot wait to see it in full.
Alicia is directing a play called Homecoming which has Lucy and Emily (pictured) alongside a charismatic Sam Reddin. It is an interesting play tackling the issues ofcommodification of that which isn't ours to sell. (Remember back to selling of forests?)
Jennie Westbrook is directing A Bigger Banner, written by Mark Ravenhill which looks at protesting and the changes that have happened through time. I've not seen anything of this yet though so can't tell you much more as yet.
And then there's me. I've been working on Whiff Whaff and Things That Make No Sense as I couldn't bear for these plays not to be in the afternoon. The former, gives an insight into Nigel (Sam, pictured) and Julie (Lacey, pictured) and their average-suburban-2.4 kids-family life and the impact of living through the Tory and Labour governments. The latter has 3 characters in a room but I daren't say anymore for fear of giving too much away!! But more to come about those later!
Sadly last week, the actor and director of Hi Vis felt it was too much and they couldn't do it justice so we're now down to 5 plays.
With 3 directors and 3 choreographers and 17 actors – fantastic creatives – to coordinate in such a short time is hard work! All are helpful, supportive and a joy to be working with but since we're midway through our studies, juggling that has had an impact on the plays. So this week rehearsals have gone, for some groups, 1 hour a week to untold!
I shall be popping in and out of rehearsals to see how things are going and plan the running order for the afternoon and hope to upload some videos of rehearsals and interviews with cast and creatives throughout the week so keep your eyes peeled.
For those of you thinking of popping down, it's this Saturday, 19th March from 2.30pm until 5pm at the Rose Studio in the Rose Theatre, High Street, Kingston.
It's free to attend and any donations will go to Child Poverty Action Group charity who campaign to make benefits available to those who need them, and have pledged to eradicate child poverty in the UK by 2020.

Home-made $15 W124 LCA Bushing Tool
Sixto has written an excellent guide for replacing W124 LCA (Lower Control Arm) bushings
. I was replacing the Lower Control Arms on my '87 300D Turbo (W124, OM603) because one of the inner bushings was bad. I discovered that I also needed to replace the outer bushings, which are pressed into the wheel carrier. Unfortunately, I did not have the expensive tool needed to remove the old bushings and install the new ones and decided to build my own tool. This tool, or something similar, probably will work on other models of Mercedes.
Sixto's thread has excellent pictures of the commercial tool. I made a trip to the local hardware store and managed to make my own tool from three galvanized steel pipe fittings and several 1/2 inch bolts, nuts, and washers. The total parts cost was about US$15.
Parts List with cross-reference to part names used by Sixto to describe the commercial tool
A. 1 each 1-1/2" x 2" nipple (dual-purpose "removal receiver" and "installation receiver" Note: see text)
B. 1 each 1-1/4" x 2" nipple ("installation drift")
C. 1 each 3/4" coupling ("removal drift")
D. 5 each 1/2" bolts in sizes from 5 to 7 inches (Because the bolts at the hardware store were not threaded all the way, I had to change to shorter bolts as the bushing gradually was pushed out or in. With a bolt threaded all the way, only one is needed.)
E. 2 each 1/2" nuts (one to use and one to lose)
F. Assorted 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4" washers (they bend if you use only one)
The head of the bolt and the nut both take a 3/4" wrench. I used a 1/2" ratchet and a deep 3/4" socket on the nut plus a 3/4" combination wrench to counter-hold the head of the bolt. I put some anti-seize on the threads of the bolt(s) to reduce friction. These were normal coarse-thread bolts (13 threads per inch, I think).
To remove a bushing from the wheel carrier you need parts "A" and "C" plus two or three of the bolts, some washers, and a nut. In the next two pictures, the parts are pictured individually and as they were used, with the old bushing in the middle. Part "C," the 3/4" coupling "removal drift" was just small enough to go through the hole in the casting. That was just luck. As you tighten the nut, the head of the bolt pulls part "C" and the bushing out of the wheel carrier and into part "A," the "removal receiver."
Note that part "C" is not as slender as the real "removal drift;" it can damage the bushing as it works since it presses on the inner part of the bushing as well as the steel outside. Since the bushing being removed is presumably bad anyway, this does no harm but I do not advise using this tool to remove a
bushing. It might damage the bushing, it might not. Yours is the risk to take.
The next picture, a double image, shows the front and back sides of the casting in which the bushing mounts. The casting is part of the wheel carrier and the pictures show the tool in the process of pushing the old bushing out.
With the old bushing out, I cleaned the hole in the wheel carrier with steel wool and lubricated both the hole and the outside of the new bushing with anti-seize compound. Oil or grease, anything slippery, would probably work just as well to ease the bushing into its new home. Here is a picture of the installation tool.
The installation tool is made from parts "A" and "B," plus the bolts, nut, and washers. Part "B" is another lucky piece - it's the same diameter as the outside of the bushing so it can push on the bushing without damaging it. Unfortunately, it's just a bit too big to go through the hole in the carrier or it could be used for removal also.
When I tried to use the installation tool, I discovered why the "installation receiver" in the commercial tool has an edge cut off (see the pictures in Sixto's thread). It turns out that the front side of the wheel carrier has a reinforcing boss that gets in the way of the receiver. My receiver (part "A") was too large; I needed to cut about 1/3 off of its length and then cut an edge like the commercial tool.
Rather than do that, I decided to use part of a 1-3/4" chassis punch as a substitute "installation receiver." It fit well enough that I was able to use it without modification, saving me some time. This assembly is shown in the next two pictures. The piece from the chassis punch is on the left side. You may not have such a thing, in which case you will have to use a hacksaw on your part "A" to make it work.
Since the home made tool does not center the bushing as well as the commercial tool, you have to make sure the bushing is going in straight. My first try was cock-eyed and I had to stop, remove the bushing, and start over. The second try everything went well. Here is the newly installed bushing.
With the new bushing in place, it took only a little more time to install the new LCA and button up the suspension. Tomorrow I'll do the other side. Wish me luck!

Report: Lib Rep. Bart Stupak Considering Retirement
Part-time pro-lifer Bart Stupak is contemplating retirement after his tumultuous year. The Michigan democrat delivered the crucial votes on Obamacare.
CatholicVoteAction.org reported:
NBC's political hotsheet, First Read, is reporting that Rep. Bart Stupak, who delivered the crucial votes to pass the pro-abortion Senate healthcare bill, is considering retirement.
Stupak to call it quits? With just a few days to go before the end of this recess, House Democrats are cautiously optimistic that they could get through it without a single retirement announcement. That said, there is still a concern that some important incumbents in districts that they are uniquely suited could call it quits. At the top of the concern list this week: Michigan Democrat Bart Stupak. The Democrat best known this year as the Democrat who delivered the winning margin of votes for the president's health-care reform bill is said to be simply exhausted. The criticism he received — first from the left, and then from the right — has worn him and his family out. And if he had to make the decision now, he'd probably NOT run. As of this writing, a bunch of senior Democrats (many of the same ones who twisted his arm on the health care vote) are trying to talk him into running. The filing deadline in Michigan is still a month away, but veterans of that state's politics are skeptical anyone other than Stupak can hold that district in this political climate.

Central Co-op Adopts Solidarity Model
Central Co-op's Solidarity Model
With the strong approval Central Co-op's owners and Board of the merger with Tacoma Food Co-op, we're now a Solidarity Co-op! But what does that mean?
Shared Ownership
With the new solidarity co-op structure, ownership is shared between customers and workers. According to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, the ownership of Central Co-op is shared 50/50 between customers and workers. This is reflected each election cycle for the Board of Directors, where each owner (whether they are a customer or worker) will elect for one seat held by a customer and one seat held by a worker.

What Exactly Is Repentance? by Steve Brown
This is from the Fall 2005 issue of Keylife magazine. This is a great magazine and you can have it sent to your home for free. This article is written by Steve Brown.
Repentance is so often misunderstood. Repentance is not changing; it is God's way to change us. The Greek word for "repent" refers to "changing one's mind." It isn't changing one's behavior as is often taught. If it is that, then there are times we can repent and other times (especially in obsessive or besetting sin) when it is simply impossible.
For years, I taught that repenting was not just asking forgiveness for spilling milk ... it was getting a mop and cleaning it up, and then going to the store to buy some new milk for the person who owned it. So, because I believed that, I could not repent of some bad stuff in my life and I thereby robbed myself of one of the most important and wonderful teachings of the Bible. God changes us and sanctification is as much a work of God's grace as is justification.
Thus, I teach that repentance isn't changing. It is "knowing who you are, who God is, what you have done and going to Him with it." At that point, the ball is in God's court and He begins an amazing work of the Holy Spirit in making us more and more like Jesus.
If repentance is something different than what I have just described, I don't have a prayer. Nobody else does either, even if they don't admit it.

Having the best smile possible can open up opportunities that you might not have thought within your reach. If your teeth are crooked, stained, chipped, or missing, people can sometimes react to you with an unfavorable first impression. Everyone should have the joy of a smile they can be proud of. Dr. Hazim specializes in smile makeovers can help you achieve the smile of your dreams. The technology in cosmetic dentistry has come a long way in recent years. A smile makeover is highly customized but will usually consist of a combination of procedures. The first step is to meet with Dr. Hazim and discuss your goals. Dr. Hazim will listen to you, look at your teeth, and offer some suggestions of procedures to make the biggest impact on your smile.
Obviously, one of the most popular procedures that people are interested in is whitening. Bright white smiles are all you ever see on movie stars, models, and TV personalities. However, brown sodas, tea, coffee, cigarettes, and some antibiotics can cause major discoloration of your teeth. Patients have two major options in whitening methods: at-home or in-office. Professional quality at home methods involve custom gel trays that are molded to the shape of your teeth. In-office procedures like Zoom! that use special lights can whiten teeth very quickly by a wide range. Smile makeovers almost always include a whitening procedure of some sort but whitening is normally the final step in the makeover process.
Before whitening, a dentist specializing in smile makeovers will focus on straightening, repairing, or replacing teeth. Dr. Hazim can even remodel the gum line to make teeth appear larger or smaller. Cosmetic bonding, porcelain veneers, and crowns are used to repair chipped, broken, or misshapen teeth. To replace missing teeth, we might recommend a crown and bridge combination, porcelain crowns over dental implants, or partial dentures.
Porcelain veneers can help give the appearance of straightening without painful movement of the teeth. Dr. Hazim plans a smile makeover with each patients because each mouth is different. Shape of the mouth, face, and specific tooth imperfections must all be considered in helping you to achieve the best smile possible. You can feel the unmistakable delight in showing off a perfect smile with the help of a great cosmetic dentist like Dr. Peter Hazim.
