Under 11's v 12's Challenge Match
Posted December 6, 2014
Under 11's hurling challenge match v Under 12's : 6th Dec 2014
The Under 11's continued their season wind down today, with a challenge match against their under 12 counterparts at the Carrik Hill pitches. After a very successful season, there was keen interest from to see what they could expect next year and the Tony Phillips run squad were only too happy to oblige.
Having enjoyed a strong panel all year, we were not to be disappointed with the turnout and the faces on the squad made it clear that they were there to show their older brothers (literally in some instances) what they were made of.
Kick off was prompt at midday and the early encounters illustrated a steely determination from both sides. To be fair to the Under 12's the extra year allowed them control possession and take their scores, however the Under 11 mentors were delighted with our ability to take on and win many of the physical encounters. Something we believe bodes well for next year.
Given the time of year, the arrival of Santa in a fire engine proved to be little distraction and the good-natured game proved a very worthwhile exercise in preparation for next year's season.

This book had a lot of hype, but I daresay that it lived up to it. I loved the characters, and the world, and everything else about this book.
This book can be described in one word: badass. Not what I was expecting at all, but even better. I definitely would recommend to anyone who is a big fantasy lover.
This was an ARC that I read (it comes out in January of 2017). I love Elise's work, but this book surpassed my highest expectations! Another great book for my fantasy lovers out there. See my review.
Contemporary isn't my fav, but this book blew my out of the water. Great characters, diversity, and plot. The only time instalove has ever been acceptable. See my review.
I love re-tellings, especially from the villian's POV, so this was fun for me. I loved the characters, even the psycho ones. I especially loved how much this book ties into the original Alice in Wonderland story! I'm definitely accepting this book as headcannon.
Gemina actually blew my mind. I was comatose for like 5 hours after finishing it because I literally could not process what I just read. My brain cannot handle such pure epicness apparently. See my review.
This series will forever be one of my favorite series of all time, and Winter did not let me down. See my review.
I literally can't express my feelings for this book because there are just too many of them. Just read it. That's all you need to know.
I am not a history person. At all. I probably never would have read this book if I hadn't gotten a copy at YALLWEST. Obviously, I am extremely grateful I did. I'm pretty sure this is the only book that has actually made me laugh out loud. If you like funny books, please do yourself a favor and read this book!
So, what were your favorite books of 2016? Are any of them the ones above? Let me know in the comments!

Refusal to conceive a child cannot be ground for divorce : HC
The Bombay high court has held that refusal by a wife to conceive a child because of family's financial instability could not be used as a ground for divorce by her husband.mumbai Updated: May 04, 2012 15:34 IST
The Bombay high court has held that refusal by a wife to conceive a child because of family's financial instability could not be used as a ground for divorce by her husband.
"Also, not knowing how to cook, not being religious, not parting with salary and not folding clothes properly," could not be treated as grounds for divorce, ruled Justice PB Majmudar and Justice Anoop Mohta.
The bench was, on Thursday, hearing an appeal filed by a 30-year-old person against a family court order which dimissed his divorce plea.
The husband, Ramesh Shenoy, contended that he was subjected to cruelty by his wife, Preeti, as she had refused sex during honeymoon unless he wore a condom. He also cited other grounds of cruelty for divorce which both family court and the high court did not approve.
The judges held that refusing to conceive a child on the ground of financial instability did not amount to cruelty.
"She must not have shown willingness to become a mother unless there was financial stability. Perhaps she wanted to give the child a better life," Justice Majmudar remarked. His brother judge, Justice Mohta, further said, "It is a mutual decision and a husband cannot insist."
The bench was also of the view that "not folding clothes properly or not being religious and knowing how to cook" could not be grounds for divorce as these did not amount to cruelty.
The appellant's lawyer said Shenoy needed a working graduate as his wife who would live in a joint family and do household work.
Justice Majmudar remarked, "A wife is not a slave. She is considered as Ardhangini (man's better half). Her right of freedom of speech cannot be taken away." The judge opined that if he construed the grounds cited by the appellant as cruelty then no marriage will be safe.
Observing that the husband's family was "conservative and was always seeking perfection", Justice Majmudar opined that Preeti should not have gone into this family.
However, her lawyer said that she was the eldest in the family and her younger sister could not have got married unless Preeti had done so.
The judge remarked, "the girls are still treated as a burden on parents. The girl should know to which family she is going (after her marriage)."
Also, the parents of both the prospective bridegroom and bride must ensure that the couple are a match for each other, he opined.
Ramesh and Preeti got married in February 2007 and the latter left her matrimonial home after four months.
The bench noted that in such a short span of time the relationship between the two had become strained.

1 Have Recent Increases in International Cereal Prices Been Transmitted to Domestic Economies? The experience in seven large Asian countries David Dawe ESA Working Paper No April 2008 Agricultural Development Economics Division The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
2 ESA Working Paper No Have Recent Increases in International Cereal Prices Been Transmitted to Domestic Economies? The experience in seven large Asian countries April 2008 David Dawe Agricultural Development Economics Division Food and Agriculture Organization Italy Abstract International cereal prices (in US dollar terms) have been increasing since 2003, but it is domestic prices that affect food consumption and production. This paper analyzes, for seven large Asian countries, the extent to which domestic prices have increased since 2003 and presents several conclusions. First, the data show that the increases in world cereal prices have been accompanied by a real depreciation of the US dollar. For many countries (but not all), this depreciation has neutralized a substantial proportion of the increase in world prices. Second, domestic commodity specific policies in several of these Asian countries have further stabilized domestic prices relative to the change in world prices. This has been especially true for rice, the main staple food in the region, but it is also true for wheat. On average, through the end of 2007, the increase in real domestic rice prices was about onethird of the increase in real US dollar world market rice prices. Third, for the specific cases analyzed here, producer or farmgate prices have changed by approximately the same percentage as consumer prices. Thus, in these Asian countries, domestic markets seem to be transmitting price changes between farmers and consumers rather efficiently. Fourth, the experience with urea fertilizer prices is more heterogeneous: some countries are following free trade, while others have stabilized prices in nominal terms. Key Words: Asia, price transmission, rice, cereals. JEL: F10, Q10. The designations employed and the presentation of material in this information product do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever of the part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. 2
3 Have recent increases in international cereal prices been transmitted to domestic economies? The experience in seven large Asian countries Introduction International agricultural commodity prices (in US dollar terms) have been increasing since 2003 for cereals, other foods and non-foods. There are many factors behind these increases: increased biofuels demand; higher oil prices that have raised prices for agricultural inputs such as fuel and fertiliser; continued growth in demand for resources from China and India that have led to reductions in net cereal and oilseed exports from these two giants in recent years; short-term supply shocks due to adverse weather conditions; low world prices in the early years of this decade, which may have reduced production incentives; and short-term trade policy changes such as reduced barriers to imports and increased restrictions on exports. Macroeconomic factors such as a weak US dollar and low real interest rates that affect both supply and demand have also played a role. A key question, however, is the extent to which these changes in world market prices have been transmitted to domestic economies in recent years, especially for cereals. The extent of transmission is important for at least two reasons. First, it is domestic prices that affect the welfare of poor consumers and farmers, not world prices. Second, the magnitude of price transmission will help determine the extent to which adjustments by producers and consumers will stabilize world price movements. These adjustments (reduced consumption, increased production) will only take place if world prices are transmitted to domestic prices. 1 This short paper will examine the extent to which increases in international cereal prices during the past few years have been transmitted to domestic prices for several large Asian countries. The focus will be on rice, which is the staple food in these countries, accounts for a large share of the expenditures of the poor, and is also the most important agricultural crop in terms of area harvested. However, evidence on price transmission for wheat and maize will also be presented. The paper will also examine changes in both consumer and producer prices to see if these groups are being affected differently. Finally, some limited evidence on transmission of world fertilizer prices will also be analyzed because world urea prices have increased substantially and will have an effect on farm profitability if they are transmitted to farmers. Data The analysis in this paper uses data on domestic prices at different levels of the marketing system (farm, wholesale, retail), as well as data on exchange rates and the consumer price index. Most of the data are of monthly frequency, but annual data are used in some instances. For most countries, the data reflect national averages for the most widely traded quality, although in one or two cases they are for the capital city. In instances when data for both the nation and the capital city are available, the trends are quite similar (analysis not presented here). All data are for market prices, not government prices. Data come from standard government sources. 1 Price transmission does not guarantee a large demand or supply response, however, because food demand and supply can be quite price inelastic. But zero price transmission does guarantee that there will be zero response. 3
4 International price data are for standard reference varieties of the major cereals: 100B FOB Bangkok for rice, hard red winter #1, FOB in the Gulf of Mexico for wheat, and yellow #2 FOB in the Gulf of Mexico for maize. While the world rice market in particular is quite heterogeneous, price increases during the past few years have been almost identical for 100B, 15% brokens and parboiled 5% brokens (all FOB Bangkok). The core of the analysis is to perform a very basic calculation of cumulative changes in international and domestic prices in real (inflation-adjusted) terms between the fourth quarter of 2003 and the fourth quarter of A quarterly average is used even though monthly data are often available because monthly data can be quite volatile. Annual data would be even smoother than quarterly data, but use of annual data would also give less importance to the relatively high prices on world grain markets in late The fourth quarter of 2007 (Q4 2007) is compared with the fourth quarter of 2003 (Q4 2003) to control for seasonal factors. A base year of 2003 is used because international oil, cereal and fertilizer prices were relatively stable during the course of that year. Finally, because international cereal prices (especially rice) have surged yet again in the first quarter of 2008 (Q1 2008), the paper also contains a preliminary discussion of domestic price trends during these three months based on whatever data are available at the time of writing. Exchange rates World market prices have increased substantially in real US dollar terms in recent years (from Q to Q4 2007) for rice (56%), wheat (91%), maize (40%) and urea, a source of nitrogen and the main fertilizer used by Asian farmers (107%). During that time, however, the US dollar has depreciated substantially against many currencies, and in fact, this depreciation is one cause of the recent high commodity prices. Figure 1 shows the percentage appreciation of the real exchange rate for the seven countries included in this analysis between Q and Q Further, Table 1 shows that real exchange rate appreciation has been quite widespread across different types of countries (categorized according to World Bank income class). Thus, the importance of the dollar s depreciation is not confined to the seven countries analyzed here. Real exchange rate (RER) appreciation vis-à-vis the US dollar, to the extent that it occurs, will neutralize some of the impact of increased prices in US dollar terms. Because the magnitude of RER appreciation varies from country to country, changes in world market prices in real domestic currency(dc) terms will also vary from country to country, even for the same commodity. A comparison of the first and second columns of Table 2 shows that, for a substantial group of Asian countries, world market rice prices have effectively not increased by as much as is commonly believed (the headline number in column 1). For some countries, however, such as Bangladesh, world price increases have been substantial. 2 2 In some countries, exchange rate appreciation may be partially determined by world commodity price movements when the commodity in question is a major share of international trade, as will be the case for oil in some African countries. The value of international cereal trade in the Asian countries analyzed here is relatively small, however, compared to the size of their foreign exchange markets and compared to total exports and imports (this is true even at the current high level of prices). Thus, exchange rate changes in these countries are taken as exogenous for the purposes of discussing commodity price transmission. In terms of food security, it also implies that, unlike the 1960s and 1970s, shortage of foreign exchange will not restrict import demand. 4

Calculation is a simple average of all countries in a given income class for which data were available. Transmission to domestic economies While the difference between columns (1) and (2) in Table 2 show that exchange rate appreciation in several Asian countries has muted the effects of rising US dollar world rice prices, the fact remains that world prices have increased throughout Asia, even in real domestic currency terms (since all price changes in column 2 of Table 2 are positive). This section will assess the extent to which changes in world prices in domestic currency terms have been passed through to consumers and farmers. Pass through to consumers: rice The impact on consumers will be assessed using changes in either wholesale or retail rice prices. It is reasonable to use wholesale prices to measure the impact on consumers because for the countries in this sample the wholesale market refers to rice that has been dried, milled and transported to a large market. Thus, these wholesale prices refer to rice that has almost reached the retail level, but is quite far removed from the farm level. 5

Cumulative percentage changes in real rice prices, Q to Q Country (1) World price (US$) (2) World price (DC) (3) Domestic price (DC) (4) Pass through (%) = (3)/(1) Bangladesh China India Indonesia Philippines Thailand Viet Nam Notes: Data for China compare 2003 and 2007 (annual). Data for Viet Nam compare 2003 and 2006 (annual). Column (3) of Table 2 shows the cumulative increase in domestic wholesale or retail prices from the fourth quarter of 2003 to the fourth quarter of 2007 in real domestic currency terms. A comparison of columns (2) and (3) shows that different countries have pursued different rice price policies, after controlling for exchange rate movements. One group of countries, defined as those for which column (3) is less than half of column (2), can be considered as stabilizers. These countries have used various commodity based policies (i.e. excluding exchange rate policies) to insulate the domestic economy from price increases on international markets. For example, India and the Philippines use government storage, procurement and distribution as well as restrictions on international trade. Bangladesh is less interventionist, but uses ad hoc changes in rice tariffs to stabilize domestic prices. Viet Nam uses export restrictions of various sorts. For all of these countries, the volatility of domestic prices during the past few years has been less than that of world prices (analysis not shown), thus justifying the use of the term stabilizer. As one example of the results of this type of stabilization, Figure 2 shows the evolution of monthly domestic prices in India between 2003 and It is obvious from visual inspection that domestic prices are more stable than international prices. A second group, defined as those for which column (3) is at least 85% of column (2), can be considered as free traders in the sense that essentially all of the price movements on international markets, after taking account of exchange rates, are being transmitted to domestic markets. These two countries, for rice, are Thailand and China. Thailand has some government intervention in terms of procurement and storage, but domestic prices nevertheless follow world prices very closely (see Figure 3). 3 China does not allow the private sector to trade at all, much less without restriction, so it is not a free trader in the sense that economists use the term. But at least through the end of 2007 it was allowing changes in international prices to be reflected more or less fully in domestic prices. 3 This has not always been the case. In the 1960s and 1970s, when Thailand was also often the world s leading exporter, variable export taxes created a wedge between domestic prices and world prices quoted in Bangkok. The purpose of these export taxes was to stabilize domestic prices. 6

Historically, Indonesia has stabilized domestic rice prices (Timmer 1996), but domestic prices have been more volatile than international prices during the current decade. Domestic prices have skyrocketed at times in the past few years as rice imports were restricted in an attempt to boost farm incomes, even 7
8 when world prices were relatively stable. 4 Thus, Indonesian domestic rice prices have been insulated from the world market, but Indonesia should not be classified as a stabilizer. A key conclusion that emerges from Table 2 is that, for all countries in the sample except China, the percentage change in column (3) is less than 60% of that in column (1); see column (4). The simple average of column (4) across these seven countries shows that, on average, the increase in real domestic prices has been about one-third of the increase in real US dollar world market prices. Thus, there was substantial damping of changes in international rice price increases, at least through the end of Price movements in early 2008 As noted earlier, prices on the world rice market surged in the first quarter of 2008, from an average of $378 per ton in December to more than $700 per ton by the end of March (all prices in this section are quoted in nominal terms). Prices on the Agricultural Futures Exchange of Thailand, while it is very thinly traded, reached over $1000 per ton in early April. Furthermore, it has now become difficult to purchase imports at any price, as most traders do not want to enter into price negotiations. These conditions on the world market have led to substantial price increases in many domestic markets during this time. In Bangladesh, wholesale prices rose by 29% from December 2007 to March 2008, and in the Philippines they increased by 25% from February to early April Prices in India have also increased recently, although the increase has been smaller and more gradual than in Bangladesh and the Philippines; average retail prices increased by 18% from October 2007 to March Thus, these three countries, which more or less successfully stabilized domestic rice prices during the past several years, have recently been affected by events on world markets, and domestic prices have increased much more rapidly than was desired. This experience in Q represents a distinct break with the experience from 2003 to Nevertheless, domestic prices have not doubled in any of these countries, even though the world market price has. In that sense, price changes on world markets were still not completely passed through to domestic markets. Not surprisingly, given its free trade policies with respect to rice, domestic rice prices in Thailand (Bangkok) increased sharply (17%) from January to February As of the middle of March, wholesale prices in both China and Indonesia had remained relatively steady over the past six months, especially compared to other countries in the region. Pass through to consumers: wheat and maize Table 3 corresponds to Table 2, but it pertains to wheat and maize instead of rice. Column (3) of Table 3 is not completely filled in because international prices refer to wheat grain, while some domestic price series refer to wheat flour. This presents a problem when international wheat grain prices rise suddenly, as they did in late 2007 (they increased by 86% from May to December in real US dollar terms). It is unlikely that wheat milling costs increased that rapidly in that short of a time span. Under these conditions, a wheat price increase on world markets that is completely passed through in absolute terms to domestic markets will raise domestic flour prices by the same absolute amount as international grain prices increased. But, since wheat flour prices are higher than wheat grain prices (due to the milling costs), the percentage increase in wheat flour prices will be smaller than the percentage increase in wheat grain prices simply because the flour price is higher. As a result, it does not make sense 4 Warr (2005) shows that these import restrictions have increased poverty. 8
9 in these circumstances to compare percentage increases in prices for wheat and wheat flour; 5 instead, absolute price changes were compared. For both India and Indonesia, the absolute change in domestic wheat flour prices was about half the absolute change in international wheat grain prices (comparing Q with Q in real domestic currency terms). Table 3. Cumulative percentage changes in real wheat and maize prices, Q to Q Country Commodity (1) World price (US$) (2) World price (DC) (3) Domestic price (DC) Bangladesh Wheat India Wheat/Flour see text Indonesia Wheat/Flour see text Philippines Maize To summarize the data for wheat, Bangladesh is not stabilizing domestic wheat prices. India is stabilizing domestic wheat prices, but there is less stabilization than for rice. In the case of Indonesia, domestic rice and wheat prices have increased by approximately the same amount. With respect to maize in the Philippines, it is difficult to draw conclusions about commodity price stabilization policies, since the appreciation of the peso has been strong enough to keep world maize prices in real local currency terms essentially stable. In general, then, Asian countries seem to stabilize domestic wheat prices less than for rice, but wheat price stabilization is still substantial in some countries. The lesser importance accorded to wheat price stabilization occurs because wheat is much less important than rice in terms of crop area and it is also much less important in terms of consumption for the poor. The conclusion that Asian countries stabilize rice prices more than wheat prices is similar to the results found by Sharma (2002) in an earlier study that examined price increases on domestic markets during the last major world price boom in Pass through to farmers: farm prices and consumer prices Table 4 shows the percentage change in real farm prices compared to the percentage change in real consumer (retail or wholesale) prices for several commodity/country combinations for which data were easily available. For these countries, the percentage changes in consumer and producer prices are remarkably similar in all cases, suggesting that markets are well integrated and that price changes at one level of the marketing system are passed through to other levels. It should be noted that countries in East and Southeast Asia generally have better infrastructure than countries in sub-saharan Africa, so the analysis could look quite different in other parts of the world. 6 Pass through for fertilizer prices Although data on domestic fertilizer prices are more limited, the extent of transmission of fertilizer prices from world to domestic markets seems to be more heterogeneous in these countries. The analysis here focuses on urea, which is the main source of nitrogen and is by far the most important fertilizer for most Asian farmers. 5 This problem is not serious for rice in the analysis above because international, wholesale and retail rice prices are all for milled grain, not for the paddy produced at farm level. 6 The issue of different price levels mentioned earlier for wheat and wheat flour is not a major problem here. Only one entry in Table 5 pertains to wheat, and it is for Bangladesh where the wholesale price data are for wheat grain, not wheat flour. 9
10 Table 4. Percentage change in real domestic producer and consumer prices Q to Q Country Commodity Producer Consumer Bangladesh Rice 8 2 Bangladesh Wheat China Rice Indonesia Rice Philippines Maize 9 5 Philippines Rice 7 3 Notes: Data for Indonesia compare Q and Q Data for Bangladesh compare Q and Q Data for China compare 2003 and 2007 (annual). From Q to Q4 2007, world urea prices increased by 107% in real US dollar terms, more than the increase in rice, wheat and maize prices during the same period. Again, however, real exchange rate appreciation neutralized much of this increase for many Asian countries. In Bangladesh, domestic policy has stabilized nominal urea prices, with the result that in real domestic currency terms urea prices declined by 25% during a period (from August/October 2003 to August/October 2007) when world market prices increased by 79% in real domestic currency terms. In the Philippines, however, urea retail prices increased by 33% in real domestic currency terms from Q to Q4 2007, which, in absolute terms, is almost identical to the increase in world market prices during the same period. 7 Thus, the Philippines has been following a policy of free trade in urea fertilizer. In Viet Nam, domestic urea prices have also risen substantially, and in absolute terms the increase in domestic prices was about two-thirds that of the increase in international prices (in real domestic currency terms). Summary The analysis here has made several key points. First, the recent surge in world cereal prices has been accompanied by a real depreciation of the US dollar. For many countries (but not all), this depreciation has neutralized a substantial proportion of the increase in world prices. Second, domestic commodity specific policies in several of these Asian countries have further stabilized domestic prices relative to the change in world prices. This has been especially true for rice, the main staple food in the region, but it is also true for wheat. On average, through the end of 2007, the increase in real domestic rice prices was about one-third of the increase in real US dollar world market rice prices. Although this might seem somewhat small, this should not be taken to imply that events on world markets have no consequences for food security: even relatively small price increases of 10 to 20% for staple foods have serious implications for the household food security of the poor. Third, for the specific cases analyzed here, producer or farmgate prices have changed by approximately the same percentage as consumer prices. Thus, in these Asian countries, domestic markets seem to be transmitting price changes between farmers and consumers rather efficiently. Fourth, the experience with urea fertilizer prices is more heterogeneous: 7 Again, there is a problem of levels as with wheat, since retail urea prices are substantially higher than world urea prices FOB Ukraine. 10
11 some countries are following free trade, while others have stabilized prices in nominal terms, which, in times of rising prices, is an even more extreme departure from free trade than is stabilization in real terms.

Neues aus Falmouth, MA,USA:
Hoffnung für Falmouth
Eine wichtige Meldung von unserer Freundin Lilli Green - Pandora's Pinwheels - vom Cape Cod in Massachusetts - with thanks to Lilli!
Auch wenn es aussieht, als wäre es nur ein kleiner Schritt, das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Seit über fünf Jahren haben die Menschen, die unter den WEA leiden versucht, alles in ihrer Macht Stehende zu tun, um ihre gewählten Stadtvertreter zu überzeugen, das Richtige zu tun und die WKA, die zu nah an menschlichen Behausungen stehen abzuzschalten.
Es gab einen enormen politischen Gegendruck von unserem ehemaligen Staatsgouverneur. Seine Regierung erklärte sogar schriftlich, dass der Gouverneur einer Stilllegung nicht zustimmen würde, wenn die WEA abgeschaltet werden.
Wir haben inzwischen einen neuen Gouverneur der versteht, dass WEA in der Nachbarschaft die Gesundheit der Menschen geschädigt haben.
Es gibt einen Weg in die Zukunft für die Menschen in Falmouth. Es ist noch nicht vorbei, aber ein großer Schritt vorwärts.
Lilli Green

FALMOUTH — One of the town's twin wind turbines will be shut down after the Board of Selectmen voted Monday night to comply with a recent order to temporarily stop its operation.
During a closed-door meeting, the board voted to appeal the Sept. 17 cease-and-desist order issued by the Zoning Board of Appeals while also voting to comply with that order in the meantime, according to a news release sent shortly before 9 p.m. by Town Manager Julian Suso. The ZBA had ordered Wind 1, one of the two turbines, shut down while the town seeks a special permit that would allow it to continue to run.
The action caught opponents of the turbines by surprise. Selectmen were scheduled to meet both Monday and Tuesday in executive session to discuss appealing the ZBA ruling; town officials had previously indicated that the turbines would continue to run during the appeal process.
"I'm surprised they're going to shut it off. I'm happy they are," said Todd Drummey, one of several neighbors who has fought the turbines since they were first installed in 2009.
Attorney Christopher Senie, along with attorney J. Alexander Watt, had filed for an independent cease-and-desist order before Barnstable Superior Court Judge Robert Rufo after town officials announced Wind 1 would run despite the ZBA order. Monday night, Senie, who has represented Drummey in several lawsuits against the town regarding the turbines, said the order was valid and he was pleased the town decided to follow it.
"I think it's the right thing to do and I'm glad they're doing it," he said.
The town's twin, 397-foot-tall turbines were erected at the wastewater treatment plant on Blacksmith Shop Road in 2009 and have been a source of controversy ever since. Neighbors have complained about health effects from their operation and have used a number of avenues to try to shut them down.
This year, the scales have tipped firmly in the neighbors' favor. In February, the Massachusetts Court of Appeals ruled that Wind 1 was constructed without proper zoning approval. The state's Supreme Judicial Court later declined to review the case, forcing the town to apply for a special permit for a turbine it's been running for years.
Until the zoning process ends, which could take months, neighbors wanted Wind 1 turned off. Rufo initially declined to order the turbine shut down, but the ZBA voted 4-1 on Sept. 17 to issue a cease-and-desist order, overruling Zoning Enforcement Officer Eladio Gore's decision not to stop the turbine's operation. The town has until Oct. 13 to file its appeal of the ZBA ruling in court.
Senie said Monday he was unsure if the cease-and-desist request filed with Rufo would still be necessary. It is scheduled for a hearing at 2 p.m. Thursday.
Before the Board of Selectmen met in executive session Monday, it met briefly in public and voted 5-0 to hold a special town meeting Nov. 10, the day after the annual meeting, to consider articles related to the turbines. The board voted to keep the warrant open for 24 hours, or until shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday. That's a narrow window for any citizen's petition articles, which require 100 signatures from registered voters, but the board will submit two articles prepared by Town Manager Julian Suso related to the turbines, Chairman Doug Jones said.
One article will concern the town's turbine bylaw, and the other will deal with the loss of revenue stemming from the shut down of one or both turbines, Jones said. The specifics of each article, however, won't be revealed until Tuesday, when the board meets again to close and approve the warrant.
Tuesday's meeting will be held at Falmouth Public Library, 300 Main St., but Jones said the town clerk's office will remain open until the warrant is closed to accept any petition articles that might be submitted.

The Illustrated London News (4 November 1871).[1]
Born 25 December 1792
London, England
Died 18 October 1871 (aged 79)
Marylebone, London, England
Nationality United Kingdom
Fields Mathematics, analytical philosophy, computer science
Institutions Trinity College, Cambridge

Known for Mathematics, computing.
Charles Babbage, FRS (26 December 1791 – 18 October 1871)[2] was an English mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer who originated the concept of a programmable computer,[3] Parts of his uncompleted mechanisms are on display in the London Science Museum. In 1991, a perfectly functioning difference engine was constructed from Babbage's original plans. Built to tolerances achievable in the 19th century, the success of the finished engine indicated that Babbage's machine would have worked. Nine years later, the Science Museum completed the printer Babbage had designed for the difference engine, an astonishingly complex device for the 19th century. Considered a "father of the computer",[4] Babbage is credited with inventing the first mechanical computer that eventually led to more complex designs.
Babbage's birthplace is disputed, but he was most likely born at 44 Crosby Row, Walworth Road, London, England. A blue plaque on the junction of Larcom Street and Walworth Road commemorates the event.
His date of birth was given in his obituary in The Times as 25 December 1792. However after the obituary appeared, a nephew wrote to say that Charles Babbage was born one year earlier, in 1791. The parish register of St. Mary's Newington, London, shows that Babbage was baptized on 6 January 1792, supporting a birth year of 1791.[5][6][7]
Babbage's father, Benjamin Babbage, was a banking partner of the Praeds who owned the Bitton Estate in Teignmouth. His mother was Betsy Plumleigh Teape. In 1808, the Babbage family moved into the old Rowdens house in East Teignmouth, and Benjamin Babbage became a warden of the nearby St. Michael's Church.
Marriage, family, death
Grave of Charles Babbage at Kensal Green Cemetery
On 25 July 1814, Babbage married Georgiana Whitmore at St. Michael's Church in Teignmouth, Devon. The couple lived at Dudmaston Hall,[11] Shropshire (where Babbage engineered the central heating system), before moving to 5 Devonshire Street, Portland Place, London.
Charles and Georgiana had eight children,[12] but only three — Benjamin Herschel, Georgiana Whitmore, and Henry Prevost — survived to adulthood. Georgiana died in Worcester on 1 September 1827. Charles' father, wife, and at least one son all died in 1827. These deaths caused Babbage to go into a mental breakdown which delayed the construction of his machines.
His youngest son, Henry Prevost Babbage (1824–1918), went on to create six working difference engines based on his father's designs,[13] one of which was sent to Harvard University where it was later discovered by Howard H. Aiken, pioneer of the Harvard Mark I. Henry Prevost's 1910 Analytical Engine Mill, previously on display at Dudmaston Hall, is now on display at the Science Museum.[14]
Charles Babbage died at age 79 on 18 October 1871, and was buried in London's Kensal Green Cemetery. According to Horsley, Babbage died "of renal inadequacy, secondary to cystitis."[15] In 1983 the autopsy report for Charles Babbage was discovered and later published by one of his descendants.[16][17] A copy of the original is also available.[18] Half of Babbage's brain is preserved at the Hunterian Museum in the Royal College of Surgeons in London.[19][20]
Design of computers
This section may contain original research. Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding references. Statements consisting only of original research may be removed. More details may be available on the talk page. (November 2009)
Babbage sought a method by which mathematical tables could be calculated mechanically, removing the high rate of human error. Three different factors seem to have influenced him: a dislike of untidiness; his experience working on logarithmic tables; and existing work on calculating machines carried out by Wilhelm Schickard, Blaise Pascal, and Gottfried Leibniz. He first discussed the principles of a calculating engine in a letter to Sir Humphry Davy in 1822.
Part of Babbage's difference engine, assembled after his death by Babbage's son, using parts found in his laboratory.
Babbage's machines were among the first mechanical computers, although they were not actually completed, largely because of funding problems and personality issues. He directed the building of some steam-powered machines that achieved some success, suggesting that calculations could be mechanized. Although Babbage's machines were mechanical and unwieldy, their basic architecture was very similar to a modern computer. The data and program memory were separated, operation was instruction based, the control unit could make conditional jumps and the machine had a separate I/O unit.
Difference engine
Main article: Difference engine
In Babbage's time, numerical tables were calculated by humans who were called 'computers', meaning "one who computes", much as a conductor is "one who conducts". At Cambridge, he saw the high error-rate of this human-driven process and started his life's work of trying to calculate the tables mechanically. He began in 1822 with what he called the difference engine, made to compute values of polynomial functions. Unlike similar efforts of the time, Babbage's difference engine was created to calculate a series of values automatically. By using the method of finite differences, it was possible to avoid the need for multiplication and division.
The London Science Museum's Difference Engine #2, built from Babbage's design.
The first difference engine was composed of around 25,000 parts, weighed fifteen tons (13,600 kg), and stood 8 ft (2.4 m) high. Although he received ample funding for the project, it was never completed. He later designed an improved version, "Difference Engine No. 2", which was not constructed until 1989–1991, using Babbage's plans and 19th century manufacturing tolerances. It performed its first calculation at the London Science Museum returning results to 31 digits, far more than the average modern pocket calculator.
Babbage has been commemorated by a number of references, as shown on this list. In particular, the crater Babbage on the Moon, and the Charles Babbage Institute, an information technology archive and research center at the University of Minnesota, were named after him. The large Babbage lecture theatre at Cambridge University, used for undergraduate science lectures, commemorates his time at the university.
• British Rail named a locomotive after him in the 1990s as part of a program of naming locomotives after famous and significant scientists.
• The University of Plymouth commemorates Charles Babbage with the Babbage building, the University's school of computing is based here.
• The IT Service of Cambridgeshire County Council is based in Babbage House on the Castle Park office complex, Cambridge.
• Also, in Monk's Walk School, there is a block called "Babbage" to commemorate his work in the world of science.
• In Chessington, in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, a road in a new housing development has been named Charles Babbage Close.
• The Babbage programming language for GEC 4000 series minicomputers is named after him.
• Charles Babbage appears as a Great Thinker in the 2008 strategy video game Civilization Revolution.[43]
• Babbage frequently appears in steampunk works (the enumeration of which would be an exhausting effort), where he does build the Difference Engine, spurring on Victorian Era computer science.

Our Fragile Emissary
With modern screening and such
they wonder why
you're here, on this earth
in our home
and in our arms,
after all, anyone
with any sense would have resolved
this problem of you
pre-birth, pre pain.
Blonde Beauty,
tiny as you are,
you catch their stares,
strangers' second glances
into tender baby blues.
And your young
sweet ears hear whisperings
("Down's," "defects")
words dropped loosely
at extra-chromosomed girls.
With such stinging receptions
how we long to shelter you,
surround you; keep your
gentle smiles to ourselves.
Instead, we hold you
up, for others to see;
let you, our fragile emissary
speak to an imperfect world.

Court of Appeals of Iowa
November 8, 2017
STATE OF IOWA, Plaintiff-Appellee,v.LEAH MORGAN MALLORY, Defendant-Appellant.
from the Iowa District Court for Sioux County, Robert J.
Dull, District Associate Judge.
Mallory appeals her conviction and sentence after pleading
guilty to assault on persons engaged in certain occupations.
R. Weber, Orange City, for appellant.
J. Miller, Attorney General, and Genevieve Reinkoester,
Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
Considered by Danilson, C.J., and Doyle and Mullins, JJ.
Mallory appeals her conviction and sentence after pleading
guilty to assault on persons engaged in certain occupations,
an aggravated misdemeanor, in violation of Iowa Code sections
708.1 and 708.3A(3) (2017). She challenges the voluntary,
knowing, and intelligent nature of her plea and argues her
trial counsel was ineffective in allowing her to plead
guilty. She also challenges the sentence imposed.
Background Facts and Proceedings.
State initially charged Mallory with three counts of assault
on persons engaged in certain occupations-one count as an
aggravated misdemeanor and two counts as serious
misdemeanors. Mallory agreed to plead guilty to the
aggravated-misdemeanor charge in exchange for the State
dropping the serious-misdemeanor charges and agreeing to
recommend a sentence of 365 days in jail with all but
twenty-one days of the sentence suspended. Mallory waived her
right to file a motion in arrest of judgment, her right to an
in-court plea colloquy, and her right to make a statement in
mitigation of punishment. The district court accepted the
plea after finding it was entered voluntarily and
intelligently and was supported by a factual basis. The court
sentenced Mallory as recommended in the plea agreement.
Ineffective Assistance of Counsel.
appeals her conviction, arguing her plea was not voluntarily,
knowingly, and intelligently entered. Mallory failed to
challenge her plea by filing a motion in arrest of judgment.
Therefore, she alleges her trial counsel was ineffective in
allowing her to plead guilty. See State v. Straw,
709 N.W.2d 128, 133 (Iowa 2006) (stating a defendant's
failure to move in arrest of judgment bars direct appeal of a
conviction but not a claim that the failure was a result of
ineffective assistance of counsel).
review ineffective-assistance claims de novo. See
id. In order to establish ineffective assistance of
counsel, Mallory must show by a preponderance of the evidence
that her counsel failed to perform an essential duty and that
failure prejudiced her. See id. We may resolve the
claim on direct appeal only if the record is adequate; if
not, we preserve the claim to allow full development of the
facts during postconviction proceedings. See id.
argues she did not enter her plea voluntarily, knowingly, and
intelligently because she was never informed of the minimum
and maximum penalties for the charge. See State v.
Philo, 697 N.W.2d 481, 488 (Iowa 2005) ("If a plea
is not intelligently and voluntarily made, the failure by
counsel to file a motion in arrest of judgment to challenge
the plea constitutes a breach of an essential duty.").
Iowa Rule of Criminal Procedure 2.8(2)(b)(2) requires the
court[1] to inform a defendant who pleads guilty of
"[t]he mandatory minimum punishment, if any, and the
maximum possible punishment provided by the statute defining
the offense to which the plea is offered." We require
"substantial compliance" with this rule. State
v. Fischer, 877 N.W.2d 676, 682 (Iowa 2016).
written guilty plea sets forth the mandatory minimum and
maximum prison sentence, fine, and costs associated with the
charge. However, Mallory argues her plea was deficient
because she was never informed the fine and surcharges could
be suspended. Under Iowa Code section 901.5(3), the court has
the power to suspend the execution of any part of a sentence,
including a fine, unless specifically negated by statute.
See State v. Klein, 574 N.W.2d 347, 348 (Iowa 1998).
The decision to suspend a fine is discretionary. See
id. at 348-49; State v. Gray, 514 N.W.2d 78, 79
(Iowa 1994). The court is only required to inform a defendant
who pleads guilty of the mandatory minimum sentence
for the offense. See Iowa R. Crim. P. 2.8(2)(b)(2).
Nothing requires that a defendant be informed of the
court's discretionary ability to suspend a fine. ...
