Bad news – at least for those who were getting excited at the prospects that indicted parties in the House of Reps fuel subsidy probe will be prosecuted; you may be getting your hopes up for nothing. The odds may not be in the favour of President Jonathan cracking down on those spotlighted by the damning report, according to a news analysis.
President Jonathan had previously asked Nigerians to be patient regarding the prosecution but international news agency, Reuters recently interviewed a number of people , who all seemed to share the same sentiments on the idea of the probe report being acted on. In simple terms? Not gonna happen.
See excerpts below:
"I don't think we're going to see high level officials in jail … that would imply his regime had imploded," said Patrick Smith, editor of Africa Confidential. "The government didn't want this to come out. It isn't hard to track back some of this to the top people in government."
"In the past pressure for change has usually prompted the casting aside of a scapegoat," said Antony Goldman, Nigeria analyst and head of Africa-focused PM Consulting. "Too many people in the ruling elite do not want an end to corruption, they just want their turn. From an external perspective, failure to act may indeed look like weakness; the domestic environment is more complex."
Civil society groups have threatened protests if those they see as responsible for the mess, including Oil Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke, and heads of the state oil firm, aren't sacked.
In January, the country was brought to a standstill by a nationwide strike called by national labour unions in protest of the government's removal of the fuel subsidy.
"The president is hoping this will blow away and we believe his own vested interests are holding him back," speculated Clement Nwankwo, a political activist with the Abuja-based Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre, one of many civil society organisations that joined the protests in January.
"If he is going to act, he needs to be very careful … the scam reaches into many powerful crannies," said Kayode Akindele, partner at Lagos-based financial advisory firm 46 Parallels.
The full story is at Reuters.

By: John A. Grey
If finalized, the proposed regulations will eliminate minority and marketability valuation discounts for transfers of interests in closely held family businesses. The proposed regulations are not effective immediately. Rather, they only apply to transfers made after the final regulations are promulgated, subject to a possible three-year lookback for estate tax purposes.
The new rules target high net worth families which conduct closely held businesses or have significant wealth concentrated in a family business; namely, those who have enough wealth to have federal estate tax exposure. Currently, the exemption amount from the federal estate and gift tax is $5,450,000 per individual. This means that an individual can leave $5,450,000 to their heirs and pay no federal estate or gift tax. A married couple can exempt a combined $10,900,000 from federal estate and gift taxes. For those high net worth families who are over these thresholds, the next few months remain critical to revisit succession planning to use the current rules allowing for valuation discounts.
The cornerstone of estate and succession planning for closely held businesses has been the use of favorable valuation discounts. For example, an LLC is structured to include both managing membership interests (controlling) and limited membership interests (non-controlling, non-voting). The limited membership interests, when gifted or transferred at death, can be discounted for lack of marketability and lack of control.
In 1990, Congress enacted Section 2704 to curtail the perceived abuses with respect to this planning; however, several tax rulings and court cases narrowed the scope of these rules thereby undermining the ability of the IRS to enforce them. As detailed below, the newly proposed regulations essentially reflect the Revenge of the IRS and are designed close the loopholes.
Below please find a summary of the major changes.
"Covered Entities" Subject to Section 2704
As originally enacted, Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") § 2704 only referred to "corporations" and "partnerships." The proposed regulations expand this definition to include any entity or arrangement that is a "business entity" within the meaning of Reg. § 301.7701-2(a) that is controlled by the family immediately before the transfer.
Accordingly, LLC's are now included in the definition. LLC's are included regardless of whether they are disregarded for federal tax purposes.
New Definition of "Control"
Section 2704 applies to entities subject to family control. Under the existing regulations, "control" for corporations is defined as encompassing at least 50% of the stock by vote or value. The proposed regulations expand the definition of control for LLCs and other entities. "Control" in this setting means ownership of 50% of either the capital or profit interests or the ability to cause liquidation of the entity.
Lapse of Voting or Liquidation Rights
In general, Section 2704(a) addresses the "lapse" of voting or liquidation (control) rights. A "lapse" of a voting or liquidation right occurs where the presently exercisable right is restricted or eliminated. If the lapse occurs during the holder's lifetime, it is a transfer by gift. Conversely, if the lapse occurs at the holder's death, it is includible in the holder's gross estate.
Newly Proposed Regulation: The lapse of a voting or liquidation right in a family owned entity (meaning the entity is controlled by the family immediately before and after the lapse) is a transfer by the individual holding the right immediately before its lapse.
New 3 Year Look-Back Rule: In addition, any lapse of a voting or liquidation right within 3 years of death is treated as a lapse at death (and thereby included in the decedent's estate under Section 2704(a)).
Example: Father owns 51% of the stock in a closely held business. Within 3 years of death, Father gifts 2% of the stock to his son. Under the current existing rules, Father can claim a minority discount for the 2% gift and at death; furthermore, the remaining minority 49% interest can be discounted for estate tax purposes when Father dies.
However, and under the proposed regulations, if the 2% gift was made within 3 years of death, a lapse is deemed to occur at Father's death. This results in a "phantom asset" included in the transferor's gross estate equal to the value of the lapsed voting or liquidation right. This asset presumably would not qualify for the marital or charitable deduction.
Disregarding Certain Restrictions on Redemption or Liquidation
Equally limiting, the proposed regulations provide that the transfer of an interest to a family member in a family business (entity where the transferor and family members control the entity immediately before the transfer) that is subject to a "disregarded restriction" will not be respected and therefore valued pursuant to the generally accepted valuation principles (as if the disregarded restriction simply does not exist).
The key requirement for treating a restriction as an "applicable restriction" and thus "disregarded" stems from the fact that following the transfer, the restriction will lapse or can be removed by the transferor or any members of their family.
Therefore, a "Disregarded Restriction" may be described as one that has the following effects:
- Limits the ability of the holder to compel liquidation or redemption of the interest; or
- Limits liquidation proceeds to less than the "minimum value" of the entity; or
- Defers payment of the liquidation proceeds for more than six months; or
- Permits payment of the liquidation proceeds in any manner other than in cash or other property.
State Law Exception – Virtually Eliminated
Furthermore, the Treasury seeks to curtail estate and succession planning by eliminating a pertinent State law exception which has been around for years. Congress added Chapter 14 to the Code (§§ 2701-2704) to curtail valuation discounts on intra-family transfers of family controlled stock. Section 2704 exempts restrictions on the owner's ability to liquidate the entity "imposed or required to be imposed" by Federal or State Law. The current regulations state that "an applicable restriction is a limitation on the ability to liquidate the entity that is more restrictive than the limitations that would apply under the State law (often referred to as the "State Default Rule").
Thereafter, and following the enactment of IRC § 2704, State legislatures substantially tightened their default laws to provide for many restrictions. As the restrictions in the governing agreements were now consistent with the State default law, the restrictions were not considered "applicable restrictions."
Newly Proposed Regulation: As the State law restriction is not a mandatory requirement (it's a default rule), restrictions in an entity's governing documents that are no more restrictive than those under State law will no longer be given effect in valuing the interest. In other words, the State law must be mandatory to be considered a "real restriction," or the IRS will simply ignore the restriction.

Honoring Trees
In France, there is an ancient guild of craftsmen known as the Compagnons Du Devoir. Within the guild, dating back to 1226 AD, there are twenty-one different trades, one of which is carpentry, and more specifically, timber framing. In France, Compagnons built and continue to build everything from the great cathedrals to farmhouses and barns. It is a time-honored system of 'stagiaires' (trainees), working to become 'aspirants' (candidates), striving to become compagnons – the masters. The Compagnons must then pass on their knowledge, values, and ethics assuring dignity within their noble profession. The system fosters the perfection of character and education in each person resulting in more than 800 years of quality craftsmanship in building history.
It was this history of the Compagnons and the legacy of the buildings that inspired local timber framer, Bill Sturm to pursue his passion. Bill, owner of Oregon Timberworks, recently worked on a project for Desert Rain. He created a massive memorial plaque from a slab of the 201-year-old ponderosa pine tree that was removed from the building site. I visited Bill at his shop to learn more about his craft and the materials he works with.
Bill began his career as an architecture student at Georgia Institute of Technology. He spent a year in Paris studying design and architecture where he was intrigued by the heavy, timbered structures, wooden joinery, and longevity of the built environment. He attended the Design/Build program at University of Oregon, worked as a carpenter on traditional framed houses, and eventually found his way to a timber frame shop in Sisters, Oregon. In 2000 he created his business, Oregon Timberworks.
In the early years, Bill said there was very little use of reclaimed wood. 'Green' was not yet a common term in the building trade and Bill did not intentionally choose timber framing as a sustainable profession. Today he finds his craft and his business have all the elements of meeting environmentally conscious and sustainable building practices. The quality of workmanship, materials, and design creates a structure with longevity. He uses reclaimed materials when available. The reclaimed timbers tend to be large diameter, high quality wood from demolition projects – grain elevators, commercial structures, barns. Any new timber he uses comes from small mills. Bill often knows the source of the timber as he visits sites to choose the standing trees.
Oregon Timberworks builds furniture, signs, houses, and barns. A recent project was a 40' high tree house in the Willamette Valley. The process is math based so pieces can be designed and cut at the shop and then shipped to the building site. One house went to Hawaii in two containers. Bill likes to maintain control of the process so he works with a crew on site to construct the frames on the building sites.
Bill is adamant about not wasting wood or what he calls, 'drop'. He is a self-proclaimed timber hoarder, saving almost all scraps of 24" lengths and sometimes even shorter, if he likes the wood. Eventually, this 'waste' may end up in a project – a furniture piece, bench, or saw horses. After many cuts some small scraps find their way to the firewood pile. Even then, Bill admits to occasionally rescuing a piece.
Bill has a story and enthusiasm for almost all the timbers stored at his shop. He exudes knowledge and a love for trees, timber, and his craft. Port Orford Cedar was used for the tree house project. Though not a true cedar, it is native to southwest Oregon. It has an interesting history and is considered a spiritual tree by the Japanese.
Bill has a spiritual philosophy about trees as well. His most eloquent words give perspective and reverence to his chosen craft of timber framing and working with natural timber. 'We have to appreciate that this timber was a living-breathing tree. The best way to honor a tree is to never let it see a burn pile. We must always let it keep its value'.
The plaque that Bill made for Desert Rain is mounted on a wall inside the house, honoring that Ponderosa pine. The rest of the ponderosa story will be unfolding in an upcoming post helping that tree keep its value.

Forget Anthem, Crackdown, Metro Exodus and Far Cry: New Dawn for a second. Underneath the Triple Aye, Big Publisher driven marketing is a plethora of indie goodness releasing during February. From detective dramas to text driven exorcisms, turn based action to head scratching puzzlers, there's something for everyone in the indie games releasing next month and here are 11 of our favourites in no particular order.
I stumbled across Eastshade a few months ago and I've been unable to stop thinking about it since. Imagine a peaceful version of Elder Scrolls: Oblivion where, instead of wielding a mace, you're wielding a paintbrush and easel – That's Eastshade. In it you play as a travelling painter who's traipsing across a gorgeous fantasy inspired island in search of the best locations to commit to canvas. There's NPC's to assist, contraptions to construct and beautiful vistas everywhere you look. Eastshade is releasing on PC on February 13th (Wishlist it here) and is coming to consoles soon after.
I've known about Rainswept for a grand total of *checks watch* 18 hours and I've already gone through several stages of hype over it. Initially, it was the art style that "wow"ed me. It's clean but detailed, something that our resident graphic designer Paul tells me is "Tops". Then I read the synopsis; A murder mystery game in which the main character, Detective Stone, assisted by the driven and empathetic Amy Blunt, uncover the truth behind a couple found dead in their kitchen – "But be warned: the further he pursues the case, the more his own past shall come back to haunt him. And the closer his sanity will be pushed to the edge.". Sold. Wishlist it here ready for a release on February 1st.
I managed to get a little play with WarGroove at EGX 2018 and was suitable impressed. On Febuary 1st, we'll get our hands on the full game and by all accounts, it's shaping up to be something special. Boasting more than 50+ hours of single player content, Cross-play multiplayer between Switch, Xbox One and PC and a playable dog commander (among more than a dozen playable commanders, each with their own distinct personalities and motivations), WarGroove is bringing the heat this February. This turn based strategy/RPG is one to watch this month and is landing on Switch, PC (Wishlist here) and Xbox One with a PS4 version to follow.
Imagine Pong or Breakout but played by sorcerers that don't play fair. That's Skorcery, a PS4 exclusive coming from Grapplehook Games. In it, players play against one another, firing a ball at each other's runes, attempting to break them all before the opponent destroys all of theirs. Being magical though, each player can use spells to freeze the ball, stun their foe and otherwise change the rules of the game on the fly. This looks like a lot of fun and is hitting Sony's console on the 5th of February.
The King's Bird
Okay. This one's a bit of a cheat because The King's Bird is already available on PC (and has been since August last year) but we missed it the first time around. For shame. The reason we're excited about The Kind's Bird is because it's getting a PS4 release this February, which means those of us with a PC at home that struggles to play Minesweeper, never mind any fast paced games, can finally experience it. A momentum based precision platformer, The King's Bird has a stunning art style and tells its story entirely without text. Keep this one on your radar.
Ape Out
Devolver Digital are known for publishing weird and wonderful games and Ape Out is no exception. From the mind of Gabe Cuzzillo, this game combines the top down thrills of Hotline Miami with a Saul Bass-esque art style then tunes it with excellent jazz percussion. A game about an Ape escaping from it's enclosure, the game sends the Hominoidea through ever more complex levels, allowing the player to get hyper-violent on anything and anyone that stands in your way. Ape Out hits the Switch and PC on the 7th February 2019.
Back in 1994, I was hooked on a first person shooter called Descent. The likelihood is that if you've played Descent, you've probably just smiled at the mere mention of it. More than 20 years later, Descent is getting a reboot from a group of industry veterans including Eric "Wingman" Peterson with the backing of Interplay and Little Orbit. If this game, originally designed as a prequel, is just as enjoyable as the original then it'll be something special. Hitting Xbox One, PS4 and PC on the 12th of February with a Switch release to follow.
Degrees of Separation
"Degrees of Seperation looks amazing" Rossko recently shared in our Slack group after watching one of the latest trailer. It's something we can all agree on which made it one of our "indie games of 2019 to look out for" too. A game about 2 characters from opposing worlds, both of which can effect the world and the elements around them based on their relative location to one another on screen, Degrees of Separation looks to be a thoughtful and beautiful puzzle game. Make sure to check it out on February 14th when it launches on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch.
A comic book inspired jaunt through Norse mythology, 3D adventure Fimbul has you play as an old berserk, travelling to Jötunheim where he'll need to fight trolls and giants in order to save Midgard. Named after the final winter before Ragnarök, The Fimbul Winter, this game has plenty of potential and hopefully, the release date of 28th of Febuary, 2019 will stick this time after a number of delays.
Hyper Jam
The 80's neon aesthetic of arena brawler Hyper Jam was the initial aspect that drew me in but when I read about some of the nuances that Bit Dragon were bringing to the genre, I was incredibly impressed. The main innovation is Perk Drafting, a system that allows each player to pick a new ability or stackable buff between rounds, starting with the player with the lowest points and leaving the points leader to pick up what's left. As a way to keep things balanced, that's impressive and I think you'll agree that the trailer the action does too. Clear your calendar and invite your friends around for a game of Hyper Jam on PS4, Xbox One and PC on February 12th.
The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia
Text adventures and bullet hell games are 2 genres that I never though would meld into one title very well. Word on the grape vine is that The Textorcist, a game that does exactly that, is actually pretty damn good. Featuring 10 ghostly bosses to exorcise, the idea of the game is to type Latin and English incantations in to your keyboard in order to defeat the ghouls while you're avoiding the massive swarm of bullets heading your way. This is such a curio that I personally can't wait to check it out when it launches on PC via Steam on Feb. 14th (with other platforms to follow).

Travel Impressions Catches 'Panamania'
Tour Operator Travel Impressions David Cogswell February 09, 2017
Panama is so far off the radar in the U.S. today that when I searched "population Panama City, Panama" on Google, it kept directing me to Panama City, Florida.
That is likely to change, however. Panama has crept onto the edge of the American tourism map. Travel Impressions has started offering vacation packages for Panama. It appears its time has come.
Su-Jit Lin, communications manager for Travel Impressions told me, "We like to be right at the forefront of destinations we see that we predict will be popular in the future."
Travel Impressions is particularly interested in the growing self-inclusive resort market and places that offer all-inclusive beach resorts. The wildly popular all-inclusive resort model has spread rapidly, and the model has now made its entry into Panama.
Panama has historically had little attention in the U.S.
Apart from being the birthplace of Roberto Duran, the Panamanian boxer with "hands of steel," most Americans today believe the word Panama refers to little more than a narrow strip of land in Central America where a group of Americans under the leadership of President Theodore Roosevelt built a canal between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans during the years 1903-1914.
Su-Jin was able to travel to Panama to see for herself to see what it's all about during a recent Travel Impressions-sponsored trip/social media event called "Panamania."
"I'm a huge fan of Panama," she said, "and I had a fantastic time doing Panamania, which was a really in-depth, on-location social media series about it. You could follow it on Travel Impressions' Facebook page using the hashtag #panamania. It's evergreen content you can find on TI's Facebook page."
Asked why she would recommend Panama, she said "a ton of reasons."
To begin with, in Panama you have the best of both worlds, she said. "You can have a beach vacation, a typical sun-and-sand vacation and you can also get an urban escape vacation and get that urban feel. You can get a taste of a historical city as well, considering that Old Panama has a lot of Spanish colonial architecture and design. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site."
The country of Panama has a population of about four million, and about a quarter of them live in Panama City. Su-Jit was surprised at the scale of the city, which she called "massive in scope."
In addition to the beach resorts, you have a large, cosmopolitan city.
"Honestly, I had no idea what I was in for when I came," she said. "I went to Panama with no expectations and was blown away. It's a very large scale city. The historic part of the city is very much like a cross between Cuba and New Orleans, with that kind of very old heritage feel of colonialism."
Panama has plenty of beaches. The narrow strip of land that separates the Pacific Ocean from the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean possibly has more beaches per land area than almost any other country.
"For the sun and sand part of it, we also visited Playa Bonita and Playa Blanca," said Lin. "Those beaches were absolutely phenomenal. Actually Playa Blanca, I felt, was a misnomer, because the sand there is actually silver. It's beautiful, like deep pewter that sparkles in the sun like little shards of glass.
"I've never seen it before. I tried to take pictures, but it doesn't really come out in pictures. But when you see it in real life, it's this gorgeous deep pewter color that is so unlike anything I've seen before. I've seen black volcanic sand, and, of course, we have the sugary white in TI's most popular destinations, but this is something totally different."
The beaches were gorgeous, she said, and also calm and peaceful.
"The beaches are very large," she said, "and because it's not a mainstream resort destination yet, they're widely unpopulated. They're not crowded. So, you have a certain sense of serenity and peace even on these resorts where there are a lot of people around. There's so much room to spread out."
Su-Jit Lin flew from New York JFK to Panama City nonstop—a six-hour flight with Copa Airlines. Good leg room, two free checked bags, TV screens at every seat, full meal service: "Copa is very impressive," said Lin.
"Americans may not be aware of them because their focus is in South America. Their hub is in Panama City."
Copa also flies to Chicago, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Orlando.
In between its coasts, Panama has the rainforest.
"It's easy to get the ecotouristic experience in Panama," said Lin. "It really is easy to get around the country. It doesn't take long to get to the jungles. You can motorboat into the rainforest and come up close with monkeys, sloths and birds. It's a pristine and protected environment. The wildlife is bold. The animals aren't afraid of people so you can get close."
As new as Panama is as a resort destination for Americans, Travel Impressions has a large portfolio of hotels. The Panamania group stayed in many of them, including the Occidental Panama City, Meridian, Hard Rock Hotel Panama Megalopolis, InterContinental Miramar Panama, Le Meridien Panama, Crown Plaza Hotel, the Gamboa Rainforest Resort, Dreams Delight Playa Bonita and Westin Playa Bonita.

A risk factor is anything that may increase your chance of having a disease.
A risk factor is anything that may increase your chance of having a disease. Risk factors for a certain type of cancer might include smoking, diet, family history, or many other things. The exact cause of someone's cancer may not be known. But risk factors can make it more likely for a person to have cancer.
Things you should know about risk factors for cancer:
Some risk factors, such as family history, may not be in your control. But others may be things you can change. Knowing the risk factors can help you make choices that might lower your risk. For example, if an unhealthy diet is a risk factor, you may choose to eat healthy foods. If excess weight is a risk factor, your healthcare provider may check your weight or help you lose weight.
Risk factors for breast cancer include:
Certain inherited changes in genes are another risk factor. Hereditary breast cancer accounts for about 5% to 10% of all breast cancer cases. The genes linked to breast cancer include:
Talk with your healthcare provider about your risk factors for breast cancer and what you can do about them. There are different tools that can be use to help estimate your risk so that you can set up the best prevention and screening plan for you.

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a GA or a TA? These people dedicate three weeks of their summer to getting up early and helping others. Most high school students would want to sleep in and vegetate on their couches in front of the TV for the rest of the day. But GAs and TAs decide to do something else with their summer. DECATS is blessed with these high school students that choose to earn service hours (TAs earn money) and help out at DECATS instead. DECATS GAs and TAs help out at DECATS for a wide range of reasons from earning service hours to just wanting to help out.
Audrey, a Fashion Design GA explained, "I really needed service hours for high school. I enjoy being able to introduce kids to other people who are similar to them. I like being here in the DECATS community. When I was a student I participated in Journalism, Rock Opera, and Business, which is a major which is not offered at DECATS anymore. She has been a GA for two years. However, Elena participated in Drama as a DECATS student and loved it so much that she returned as a GA to continue to make the Drama major enjoyable for other students.
Imani, a Rock opera GA participated in Psychology, Rock Opera and Journalism as a DECATS student. Her funniest memory is being with the SNLU group she was in charge of from the first week of DECATS this year, who named their project Harry Potter and the Buttersock. On the other hand, Sebastian from Culinary Arts participated in Culinary Arts, Psychology, and Mock Trial when he was a student. Sebastian's favorite major is Culinary Arts. Sebastian shared, "My favorite memory is watching kids cook and when they make mistakes."
Mary, a Journalism GA, participated in Visual Arts, Mock Trial and Science when she was in DECATS. Riley, a Visual Arts GA wants to give back by helping at DECATS. Mary and Riley could not decide which major was their favorite. "They are all fun!" Riley exclaimed. Nevertheless, Brad from Rock Opera has been a GA for two years. His favorite memories are hanging out with Mr. Rocca. Although, Amelia, who has been a GA for four years, shared her favorite memory when a boy told her that she was the first girl he met who liked swords. Amelia is a GA for both Science and Visual Arts.
These GAs and TAs enjoyed DECATS as a student and loved it so much that they do not want to leave. They enjoyed spending time with DECATS's bright students and phenomenal teachers. These GAs and TAs are one of the reasons why DECATS is so fun, and their contributions make DECATS so successful.

The World's Desire - BOOK III : Chapter IV - PHARAOH'S DREAM
Pharaoh slept heavily in his place, for he was wearied with grief and toil. But Meriamun passed into the chamber, and standing at the foot of the golden bed, lifted up her hands and by her art called visions down on Pharaoh, false dreams through the Ivory Gate. So Pharaoh dreamed, and thus his vision went:--
He dreamed that he slept in his bed, and that the statue of Ptah, the Creator, descended from the pedestal by the temple gate and came to him, towering over him like a giant. Then he dreamed that he awoke, and prostrating himself before the God, asked the meaning of his coming. Thereon the God spoke to him:--
"Meneptah, my son, whom I love, hearken unto me. The Nine-bow barbarians overrun the ancient land of Khem; nine nations march up against Khem and lay it waste. Hearken unto me, my son, and I will give thee victory. Awake, awake from sloth, and I will give thee victory. Thou shalt hew down the Nine-bow barbarians as a countryman hews a rotting palm; they shall fall, and thou shalt spoil them. But hearken unto me, my son, thou shalt not thyself go up against them. Low in thy dungeon there lies a mighty chief, skilled in the warfare of the barbarians, a Wanderer who hath wandered far. Thou shalt release him from his bonds and set him over thy armies, and of the sin that he has sinned thou shalt take no heed. Awake, awake, Meneptah; with this bow which I give thee shalt thou smite the Nine-bow barbarians."
Then Meriamun laid the bow of the Wanderer, even the black bow of Eurytus, on the bed beside Pharaoh, and passed thence to her own chamber, and the deceitful dream too passed away.
Early in the morning, a waiting-woman came to the Queen saying that Pharaoh would speak with her. She went into the ante-chamber and found him there, and in his hand was the black bow of Eurytus.
"Dost thou know this weapon?" he asked.
"Yea, I know it," she answered; "and thou shouldst know it also, for surely it saved us from the fury of the people on the night of the death of the first-born. It is the bow of the Wanderer, who lies in the place of torment, and waits his doom because of the wrong he would have wrought upon me."
"If he hath wronged thee, yet it is he who shall save Khem from the barbarians," said Pharaoh. "Listen now to the dream that I have dreamed," and he told her all the vision.
"It is indeed evil that he who would have wrought such wickedness upon me should go forth honoured, the first of the host of Pharaoh," quoth Meriamun. "Yet as the God hath spoken, so let it be. Send now and bid them loose the man from the place of torment, and put his armour on him and bring him before thee."
So Pharaoh went out, and the Wanderer was loosed from his bed of stone and clothed again in his golden harness, and came forth glorious to see, and stood before Pharaoh. But no arms were given him. Then Pharaoh told him all his dream, and why he caused him to be released from the grip of the tormentors. The Wanderer hearkened in silence, saying no word.
"Now choose, thou Wanderer," said Pharaoh: "choose if thou wilt be borne back to the bed of torment, there to die beneath the hands of the tormentors, or if thou wilt go forth as the captain of my host to do battle with the Nine-bow barbarians who waste the land of Khem. It seems there is little faith in thine oaths, therefore I ask no more oaths from thee. But this I swear, that if thou art false to my trust, I will yet find means to bring thee back to that chamber whence thou wast led but now."
Then the Wanderer spoke:--
"Of that charge, Pharaoh, which is laid against me I will say nothing, though perchance if I stood upon my trial for the sin that is laid against me, I might find words to say. Thou askest no oath from me, and no oath I swear, yet I tell thee that if thou givest me ten thousand soldiers and a hundred chariots, I will smite these foes of thine so that they shall come no more to Khem, ay, though they be of my own people, yet will I smite them, and if I fail, then may those who go with me slay me and send me down to Hades."
Thus he spoke, and as he spoke he searched the hall with his eyes. For he desired to see Rei the Priest, and charge him with a message to Helen. But he sought him in vain, for Rei had fled, and was in hiding from the anger of Meriamun.
Then Pharaoh bade his officers take the Wanderer, and set him in a chariot and bear him to the city of On, where Pharaoh's host was gathering. Their charge was to watch him night and day with uplifted swords, and if he so much as turned his face from the foe towards Tanis, then they should slay him. But when the host of Pharaoh marched from On to do battle on the foe, then they should give the Wanderer his own sword and the great black bow, and obey him in everything. But if he turned his back upon the foe, then they should slay him; or if the host of Pharaoh were driven back by the foe, then they should slay him.
The Wanderer heard, and smiled as a wolf smiles, but spoke no word. Thereon the great officers of Pharaoh took him and led him forth. They set him in a chariot, and with the chariot went a thousand horsemen; and soon Meriamun, watching from the walls of Tanis, saw the long line of desert dust that marked the passing of the Wanderer from the city which he should see no more.
The Wanderer also looked back on Tanis with a heavy heart. There, far away, he could see the shrine of Hathor gleaming like crystal above the tawny flood of waters. And he must go down to death, leaving no word for Her who sat in the shrine and deemed him faithless and forsworn. Evil was the lot that the Gods had laid upon him, and bitter was his guerdon.
His thoughts were sad enough while the chariot rolled towards the city of On, where the host of Pharaoh was gathering, and the thunder of the feet of horses echoed in his ears, when, as he pondered, it chanced that he looked up. There, on a knoll of sand before him, a bow-shot from the chariot, stood a camel, and on the camel a man sat as though he waited the coming of the host. Idly the Wanderer wondered who this might be, and, as he wondered, the man urged the camel towards the chariot, and, halting before it cried "Hold!" in a loud voice.
"Who art thou?" cried the captain of the chariot, "who darest cry 'hold' to the host of Pharaoh?"
"I am one who have tidings of the barbarians," the man made answer from the camel.
The Wanderer looked on him. He was wondrous little, withered and old; moreover, his skin was black as though with the heat of the sun, and his clothing was as a beggar's rags, though the trappings of the camel were of purple leather and bossed with silver. Again the Wanderer looked; he knew him not, and yet there was that in his face which seemed familiar.
Now the captain of the chariot bade the driver halt the horses, and cried, "Draw near and tell thy tidings."
"To none will I tell my tidings save to him who shall lead the host of Pharaoh. Let him come down from the chariot and speak with me."
"That may not be," said the captain, for he was charged that the Wanderer should have speech with none.
"As thou wilt," answered the aged man upon the camel; "go then, go to thy doom! thou art not the first who hath turned aside a messenger from the Gods."
"I am minded to bid the soldiers shoot thee with arrows," cried the captain in anger.
"So shall my wisdom sink in the sand with my blood, and be lost with my breath. Shoot on, thou fool."
Now the captain was perplexed, for from the aspect of the man he deemed that he was sent by the Gods. He looked at the Wanderer, who took but little heed, or so it seemed. But in his crafty heart he knew that this was the best way to win speech with the man upon the camel. Then the captain took counsel with the captain of the horsemen, and in the end they said to the Wanderer:
"Descend from the chariot, lord, and walk twelve paces forward, and there hold speech with the man. But if thou go one pace further, then we will shoot thee and the man with arrows." And this he cried out also to him who sat upon the camel.
Then the man on the camel descended and walked twelve paces forward, and the Wanderer descended also from the chariot and walked twelve paces forward, but as one who heeds little what he does. Now the two stood face to face, but out of earshot of the host, who watched them with arrows set upon the strings.
"Greetings, Odysseus of Ithaca, son of Laertes," he said who was clothed in the beggar's weeds.
The Wanderer looked upon him hard, and knew him through his disguise.
"Greeting, Rei the Priest, Commander of the Legion of Amen, Chief of the Treasury of Amen."
"Rei the Priest I am indeed," he answered, "the rest I am no more, for Meriamun the Queen has stripped me of my wealth and offices, because of thee, thou Wanderer, and the Immortal whose love thou hast won, and by whom thou hast dealt so ill. Hearken! I learned by arts known to me of the dream of Pharaoh, and of thy sending forth to do battle with the barbarians. Then I disguised myself as thou seest, and took the swiftest camel in Tanis, and am come hither by another way to meet thee. Now I would ask thee one thing. How came it that thou didst play the Immortal false that night? Knowest thou that she waited for thee there by the pylon gate? Ay, there I found her and led her to the Palace, and for that I am stripped of my rank and goods by Meriamun, and now the Lady of Beauty is returned to her shrine, grieving bitterly for thy faithlessness; though how she passed thither I know not."
"Methought I heard her voice as those knaves bore me to my dungeon," said the Wanderer. "And she deemed me faithless! Say, Rei, dost thou know the magic of Meriamun? Dost thou know how she won me to herself in the shape of Argive Helen?"
And then, in as few words as might be, he told Rei how he had been led away by the magic of Meriamun, how he who should have sworn by the Star had sworn by the Snake.
When Rei heard that the Wanderer had sworn by the Snake, he shuddered. "Now I know all," he said. "Fear not, thou Wanderer, not on thee shall all the evil fall, nor on that Immortal whom thou dost love; the Snake that beguiled thee shall avenge thee also."
"Rei," the Wanderer said, "one thing I charge thee. I know that I go down to my death. Therefore I pray thee seek out her whom thou namest the Hathor and tell her all the tale of how I was betrayed. So shall I die happily. Tell her also that I crave her forgiveness and that I love her and her only."
"This I will do if I may," Rei answered. "And now the soldiers murmur and I must be gone. Listen, the might of the Nine-bow barbarians rolls up the eastern branch of Sihor. But one day's march from On the mountains run down to the edge of the river, and those mountains are pierced by a rocky pass through which the foe will surely come. Set thou thy ambush there, Wanderer, there at Prosopis--so shalt thou smite them. Farewell. I will seek out the Hathor if in any way I can come at her, and tell her all. But of this I warn thee, the hour is big with Fate, and soon will spawn a monstrous birth. Strange visions of doom and death passed before mine eyes as I slept last night. Farewell!"
Then he went back to the camel and climbed it, and passing round the army vanished swiftly in a cloud of dust.
The Wanderer also went back to the host, where the captains murmured because of the halt, and mounted his chariot. But he would tell nothing of what the man had said to him, save that he was surely a messenger from the Under-world to instruct him in the waging of the war.
Then the chariot and the horsemen passed on again, till they came to the city of On, and found the host of Pharaoh gathering in the great walled space that is before the Temple of Ra. And there they pitched their camp hard by the great obelisks that stand at the inner gate, which Rei the architect fashioned by Thebes, and the divine Rameses Miamun set up to the glory of Ra for ever.

The little village is very quiet but if you fancy hiking mount Batur and taking a dip at the hot springs then this is a perfect location. The room was really cute, its called a bungalow but it's a little glass walled house, the room is massive as is the bathroom. The staff are really lovely and helpful. Had a great stay and lovely food as well as stunning views of the lake and volcano. Highly recommend staying here.

England: The executive council of Edmonton Conservative Association invited the Representative of His Holiness the Dalai Lama at the Office of Tibet, London, to speak about Tibet and about the workings of the office at their monthly Tuesday meeting on 11 June 2019
Conservative Association is a local organisation composed of Conservative Party members in a particular locality, in this case, Edmonton.
Representative Frasi gave a brief summary of the contemporary history of Tibet culminating in the escape of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to exile into India. He went on to explain the Tibetan exile movement and the structure & working of the Dharamshala-based Central Tibetan Administration, noting where the Office of Tibet, London fits into this structure.
Speaking about the current state of affairs inside Tibet, Representative Frasi noted that the lack of freedom of the Tibetans to publicly practice one's religion, culture & language without fear of reprisal, increased political repression by the Chinese authorities, and lack of any space for expressing dissent has led to more than 150 known cases of Tibetan self-immolations.
Expressing his concern at the environmental damage to the Tibetan plateau, Representative Frasi made special mention of China's attempts to divert the river waters from their normal flow to the arid northern region and the aggressive construction of dams over Tibet's rivers, which he pointed as the root cause for increase in earthquakes in Tibet. He also touched upon the excessive mining in Tibet resulting in landslides and river pollution.
In his call to action to the more than 25 association members gathered late in the windy cold evening, Representative Frasi urged the audience members to call upon their Members of Parliament to raise the Tibet issue in the Parliament and in their deliberations. He urged them to take the case of Tibet's environment as a starting point, considering the huge impact any damage on Tibet's plateau has to the rest of the world and to the global climate change in particular.
After an interactive question & answer session, where the association members raised issues of concern such as the case of the missing Gendun Choekyi Nyima, the almost two-hour long evening talk session concluded.
This talk at the Edmonton Conservative Association provided a wonderful opportunity for the Office of Tibet to speak about Tibet issues to a new audience.

A 19th-century painter, Van Gogh is almost as famous for his mental instability as for his vivid paintings. His career as an artist lasted only 10 years and coincided with frequent bouts of depression and anguish; in a famous 1888 incident he slashed off his left earlobe with a razor. He is closely associated with the town of Arles in the south of France, where he created many of his greatest paintings.

New information following the change in COVID-19 alert levels. massey.ac.nz/coronavirus
The 2019 New Zealand Food Awards programme has officially begun, with the opening of entries for this year's awards.
Sponsored by Massey University, the awards celebrate locally-made products, focusing on innovation and excellence. The awards, which have been running since 1987, are aimed at small and large food and beverage manufacturers, primary food producers, food service providers and ingredient supply companies.
Last year's winner of the New Zealand Food Awards Massey University Supreme Award was The Whole Mix Co. Limited, for the company's vegetable noodle range. The company, owned by Marton-based Spiers Foods, also won the Massey University Health and Wellbeing Award, and the James & Wells Business Innovation Award. Finalists in 2018 included Pāmu deer milk powder, Ōra King TYEE salmon and cultured vegan butter from Savour Ltd.
Winning products will earn the New Zealand Food Awards Quality Mark to highlight the superiority of their products to both shoppers and the industry, as well as helping to boost sales and distribution both domestically and internationally.
Massey University Vice-Chancellor Professor Jan Thomas says the New Zealand Food Awards are committed to encouraging local food producers to continue to grow, experiment and create fantastic products. "The awards are recognition of the great work being done in the food and beverage industry in New Zealand every day, particularly the cutting-edge innovation behind some great Kiwi products," she says.
"In the past year, Massey has committed to building a state-of-the-art consumer and sensory science facility, at our Manawatū campus, to help determine what drives people in their food choice behaviour. The University also developed a unique technology to address iron deficiency without adversely affecting the taste of food and beverage – new technology which has since been acquired by Nestlé. These are important steps in the food and beverage industry in New Zealand and around the world, and highlight Massey's important role in the sector. Massey is very proud of the awards, and the industry excellence they recognise."
The New Zealand Food Awards are made possible thanks to principal sponsor and event organiser Massey University, and with the support of New Zealand Food Safety, Countdown, Cuisine Magazine, James & Wells, The Intermedia Group New Zealand, Eagle Protect, FoodHQ, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise and The FoodBowl.
Entries for the competition close on Friday May 31. The online entry process has been streamlined this year, making it easier for entrants to submit their products, via a new purpose-built online portal.
Winners will be announced at a Gala Dinner at Auckland's SkyCity Convention Centre on October 23.

MONTREAL • The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) added its voice to those criticising the International Olympic Committee (IOC)'s failure to ban Russia from the Rio Olympics in the wake of doping revelations.
The Montreal-based agency issued a statement on Sunday saying it would work to "ensure the best possible outcome for clean athletes" in Rio, but regretted the IOC ignored its call for a ban of Russia after the Wada-commissioned McLaren Report found evidence of state-backed doping in a range of sports.
Wada had urged the IOC to ban all athletes submitted by the Russian Olympic Committee for both the Games and the Paralympics, with individual exceptions cleared by the IOC for participation under a neutral flag.
Wada also recommended that Russian government officials be denied access to the Rio Games.
"Wada is disappointed that the IOC did not heed Wada's executive committee recommendations that were based on the outcomes of the McLaren investigation and would have ensured a straightforward, strong and harmonised approach," Wada president Craig Reedie said.
Wada added that the decision to give individual sports federations primary responsibility for determining every Russian athlete's eligibility for Rio was a recipe for confusion.
The IOC on Sunday approved a list of criteria, which largely calls on athletes to prove they compete without the aid of performance-enhancing drugs and for international federations to determine the validity of their claims and make a final judgment.
The executive board agreed that no Russian athlete previously sanctioned for a doping violation would be allowed to compete in Rio, meaning that whistle-blower Yulia Stepanova, a Russian middle-distance runner who helped expose the extent of doping, will not be allowed to participate in Rio.
In a statement, the IOC said it "would like to express its appreciation for Ms Stepanova's contribution to the fight against doping and to the integrity of sport," and extended an invitation for Stepanova to attend the Rio Games as a spectator.
Olivier Niggli, Wada's director general, expressed disappointment that Stepanova could not go to Rio, even as a neutral.
"Wada has been very vocal in supporting Yulia's desire to compete as an independent athlete," Niggli said. "Wada is very concerned by the message that this sends whistle-blowers for the future."

Wilkinson portrait wins Packing Room Prize
Artist Peter Smeeth badgered TV personality Lisa Wilkinson for six months before she found the time to sit for a portrait which has now won the Packing Room Prize at the Archibald exhibition.
"I have such a full-on life and my schedule is a little crazy, so it took a bit of juggling to organise," Wilkinson told AAP on Thursday after head packer Steve Peters announced his favourite of 2017's exhibition entries.
Peters is bidding farewell to the Art Gallery of NSW after 35 years as the top packer.
"It's been absolutely wonderful but it's now time for me to retire and tell my mates some home truths about their golf game - like I told some artists some home truths about their artworks," he said at the gallery.
Wilkinson, who was nursing a broken arm at Thursday's event, did three separate sittings to allow Smeeth to accurately capture her in a "relaxed" position.
"At one point during the sitting I fell asleep, so I'm thrilled Pete didn't capture me asleep because that kind of captures me at two o'clock in the afternoon," she said.
Smeeth has entered the Archibald Prize 34 times, been a finalist three times and won the Sulman prize in 2011.
The artist wasn't at the gallery as the Packing Room Prize was announced because he was delivering a eulogy in Yass, in regional NSW, for an old school friend of 57 years.
But in a statement read out by Art Gallery of NSW director Michael Brand, Smeeth described winning the packing prize as "the kiss of death".
"No winner of this prize has gone on to win the Archibald and this - along with the fact that no reclining figure has ever won - is an early tip for punters; put your money on others in the field."
Finalists for the 96th Archibald - the longest-running art prize in Australia - include a portrait of Aboriginal actor Jack Charles by Anh Do and a painting of the outgoing packer Peters by Lucy Culliton.

Larry and I had a real treat Monday night! We got to attend the Link Centre fundraiser featuring Chef Robert St. John, and artist, Wyatt Waters. Floral designer, Tracy Proctor, was also on hand to teach attendees how to make easy, yet beautiful, centerpieces.
The program was entertaining and the food was delicious. Wyatt painted a beautiful, and very fitting, watercolor for his Tupelo audience. The painting's composition included a small Elvis statue, a jar of Jif and a bunch of bananas - a tribute to Elvis's love of a good ole fried peanut butter and banana sandwich. Wyatt titled his piece, "Fit for a King." At the end of the evening, the piece was auctioned, with all proceeds going to the Link Center.
Robert infused entertaining stories throughout his cooking demonstration. The meal was absolutely wonderful! It began with a bowl of warm and cheesy Baked Potato Soup. The dinner plate held our entrée, Chicken Jambalaya, along with two sides, Broiled Asparagus with Dill Mayonnaise, and Zucchini-Squash Casserole. The meal ended with a delightful dish of old-fashioned Banana Pudding. The recipes were included in the event's program. I hope to be able to share them in the coming days.
Robert and Wyatt have collaborated on two books, A Southern Palate and Southern Seasonings. Both have numerous individual books, as well. Leigh Ann and Brendan give me a Wyatt Waters calendar almost every Christmas. They also gave me a signed copy of A Southern Palate several years back. It is a beautiful book, filled with Robert's tasty recipes and Wyatt's gorgeous paintings. I bought Robert's Deep South Staples at Square Books in Oxford as soon as it was available. I love this cookbook! It contains recipes for true Southern cuisine, prepared the way it really should be. There's not a single recipe that calls for a can of cream of mushroom soup!
One of the highlights of the evening was Robert's reading from his book, Deep South Parties, about the theory of being able to tell a Christian's denomination by the ingredients in his church's punch recipe. It was hilarious!
After the program, Larry bought me a copy of Robert and Wyatt's second book, Southern Seasonings. Both stayed to sign books and visit with the audience following their demonstrations. It was a delight to get to meet and talk with these very friendly and gracious gentlemen, whose work we have had the pleasure of enjoying over the years.
The Banana Pudding we were served reminded me a lot of my momma's. I have been wanting to share her recipe for banana pudding with you guys for several weeks. Since my appetite for banana pudding was whetted at the program, and I have some bananas that need using, let's make Banana Pudding our Dessert of the Week.
There are many of my momma's recipes that I wish I had asked her for before she went to be with the Lord. Fortunately, I have her directions for making Banana Pudding! Larry gets the credit for me having asked Momma for it.
Banana Pudding was my daddy's favorite dessert for Momma to make. Larry loved it, too! I remember, as a new bride, wanting to make banana pudding for my banana-pudding-loving husband, just like my momma made it for my daddy. For a wedding gift, someone had given me a cookbook which contained a recipe for Easy Banana Pudding. Not having a clue how to make "real" banana pudding, I decided to make this short-cut, Cool Whip-and-Jell-O Pudding version of this Southern delicacy. Because his mother had "raised him right", Larry ate my pudding and said it was delicious. A few weeks later though, he asked me to make another banana pudding, but this time he said he'd like one "like your momma makes". Well, y'all know what a twenty-one-year-old, pride-filled new bride had to do. I said, "Sure, Honey!" And, as soon as he left for work, I called Momma! Of course, it was one of those recipes that she "just made off the top of her head." Bless her heart, it took her a few minutes to figure out how to tell her struggling-cook-of-a-daughter how to do it. We finally got her recipe into a written version, and my very first homemade Banana Pudding was a success! I've not made the Cool Whip-and-Jell-O Pudding version since!
Several years back, I submitted this recipe to our church's Sesquicentennial (150th) Cookbook. I've had many people tell me how much they like this recipe! I hope you will, too!! It really is good!!!
My Momma's Banana Pudding
Combine 1 cup sugar with 2 -3 heaping tablespoons of self-rising flour in a sauce pan. Add 2 cups milk.
Beat 3 egg yolks with a little water and 2 t. vanilla. Add egg mixture to sauce pan mixture. Cook over medium heat until thick (Be careful not to let it become too thick.)
Line bottom of dish with vanilla wafers. Slice two bananas on top of cookies, and top with half of the cooked pudding. Top with another layer of cookies, bananas and pudding.
Beat egg whites until stiff and add ½ cup sugar. Spread on top of pudding and brown in oven.
Note from Connie: If you don't like meringue, reserve a few vanilla wafers. Crush wafers and sprinkle on top of pudding for a garnish.

This is the way my momma fixes banana pudding too-from scratch! I was just telling her over Father's Day that I needed the recipe. My favorite part is the cookies! So good!ReplyDelete
Vicki -ReplyDelete
One of the things Robert mentioned at the program was that banana pudding lovers fall into two categories:
1. Those who love the cookies
2. Those who love the bananas
I am a cookie girl, too!
Many Blessings and Happy Cookin' ~ Connie

Chadwick, who made his return from a knee injury in last weekend's defeat to Oldham Athletic, will replace Chris Lines in the side and return to the 'number 10' position that he made his own during the first half of the season. Therefore, Ryan Harley will move into the centre of midfield, partnering Darren Potter in Lines' absence.
The Dons' only other change comes in the shape of Izale McLeod who will lead the line up top in place of Alan Smith. The 28-year-old is still in search of his first goal since re-joining the Club in early January.
Elsewhere the team remains unchanged with MacKenzie continuing at the back alongside Shaun Williams and Saturday's goalscorer Daniel Powell once again occupying the right-wing position.
On the bench, duo Tom Flanagan and George Baldock are awaiting their first appearances in Dons shirts this season while Mathias Kouo-Doumbe and Adam Chicksen will provide cover as replacements.
Doncaster Rovers: Woods, Quinn, Spurr, McCombe, Jones (c), Woods, Griffin, Cotterill, Coppinger, Husband, Paynter.
Subs: Maxted (GK), Sinclair, Martis, Harper, Bennett, Wakefield, Fowler.
MK Dons: (4-2-3-1) Martin; Otsemobor, MacKenzie, Williams, Lewington (c); Potter, Harley; Powell, Chadwick, Bowditch; McLeod.
Subs: Kouo-Doumbe, Smith, Chicksen, Flanagan, Baldock, Lines.

University of Saskatchewan (USask) PhD student Arthur Situm has developed a new non-invasive technique to study the rusting of steel.
University of Saskatchewan (USask) PhD student Arthur Situm has developed a new non-invasive technique to study the rusting of steel, research that may help with the safety of potash mining and construction of buildings, roads and bridges.
At the Canadian Light Source (CLS) synchrotron, a national research facility of USask, Situm has been studying how the protective coatings of rebars—the steel reinforcing bars used to strengthen concrete —withstand rusting (corrosion). He did his research with the potash mining industry especially in mind.
Salt from potash mining seeps through the porous concrete and may cause rebar to rust faster, which could require more frequent replacements. The world's largest reserves of potash, mainly used for crop fertilizer, are in Saskatchewan and the industry is integral to the provincial economy, making up nearly 30 per cent of the mineral's worldwide production in 2017.
"Concrete usually holds up pretty well even when the rebar is somewhat rusted, but the method I developed helps you determine at which point the protective coatings of the rebars fail, so that researchers can develop better coatings," said Situm.
Unlike other methods used to study corrosion, Situm's new synchrotron technique, which stems from a combination of X-rays, a microscope and the CLS particle accelerator, shows how effective the coatings are without removing them from the rebars. Normally, coating removal damages samples by making them unusable for future testing and may interfere with the corrosion of the coating itself.

Title 40 → Chapter I → Subchapter C → Part 63 → Subpart OOOO → §63.4364
Title 40: Protection of Environment
Subpart OOOO—National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Printing, Coating, and Dyeing of Fabrics and Other Textiles
(a) General. If you are using a control device to comply with the emission standards in §63.4290, you must install, operate, and maintain each CPMS specified in paragraphs (c) and (d) and (e) of this section according to the requirements in paragraphs (a)(1) through (8) of this section. You must install, operate, and maintain each CPMS specified in paragraph (b) of this section according to paragraphs (a)(5) through (7) of this section.
(1) Each CPMS must complete a minimum of one cycle of operation for each successive 15-minute period. You must have a minimum of four equally spaced successive cycles of CPMS operation to have a valid hour of data.
(2) You must have valid data from at least 90 percent of the hours during which the process operated.
(3) You must determine the hourly average of all recorded readings according to paragraphs (a)(3)(i) and (ii) of this section.
(i) To calculate a valid hourly value, you must have at least three of four equally spaced data values from that hour from a continuous monitoring system (CMS) that is not out-of-control.
(ii) Provided all of the readings recorded in accordance with paragraph (a)(3) of this section clearly demonstrate continuous compliance with the standard that applies to you, then you are not required to determine the hourly average of all recorded readings.
(4) You must determine the rolling 3-hour average of all recorded readings for each operating period. To calculate the average for each 3-hour averaging period, you must have at least two of three of the hourly averages for that period using only average values that are based on valid data (i.e., not from out-of-control periods).
(5) You must record the results of each inspection, calibration, and validation check of the CPMS.
(6) At all times, you must maintain the monitoring system in accordance with §63.4300(b) and in proper working order including, but not limited to, keeping readily available necessary parts for routine repairs of the monitoring equipment.
(7) Before September 12, 2019, except for monitoring malfunctions, associated repairs, or required quality assurance or control activities (including calibration checks or required zero and span adjustments), you must conduct all monitoring at all times that the unit is operating. On and after September 12, 2019, you must operate the CPMS and collect emission capture system and add-on control device parameter data at all times in accordance with §63.4300(b). Data recorded during monitoring malfunctions, associated repairs, out-of-control periods, or required quality assurance or control activities shall not be used for purposes of calculating the emissions concentrations and percent reductions specified in Table 1 to this subpart. You must use all the data collected during all other periods in assessing compliance of the control device and associated control system. A monitoring malfunction is any sudden, infrequent, not reasonably preventable failure of the monitoring system to provide valid data. Monitoring failures that are caused in part by poor maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions.
(8) Except for periods of required quality assurance or control activities, any averaging period during which the CPMS fails to operate and record data continuously as required by paragraph (a)(1) of this section, or during which generated data cannot be included in calculating averages as specified in paragraph (a)(7) of this section, constitutes a deviation, and you must notify the Administrator in accordance with §63.4311(a).
(b) Capture system bypass line. You must meet the requirements of paragraphs (a)(5) through (6) and (b)(1) and (2) of this section for each emission capture system that contains bypass lines that could divert emissions away from the add-on control device to the atmosphere.
(1) You must monitor or secure the valve or closure mechanism controlling the bypass line in a nondiverting position in such a way that the valve or closure mechanism cannot be opened without creating a record that the valve was opened. The method used to monitor or secure the valve or closure mechanism must meet one of the requirements specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) through (iv) of this section.
(i) Flow control position indicator. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate according to the manufacturer's specifications a flow control position indicator that takes a reading at least once every 15 minutes and provides a record indicating whether the emissions are directed to the add-on control device or diverted from the add-on control device. The time of occurrence and flow control position must be recorded, as well as every time the flow direction is changed. The flow control position indicator must be installed at the entrance to any bypass line that could divert the emissions away from the add-on control device to the atmosphere.
(ii) Car-seal or lock-and-key valve closures. Secure any bypass line valve in the closed position with a car-seal or a lock-and-key type configuration. You must visually inspect the seal or closure mechanism at least once every month to ensure that the valve is maintained in the closed position, and the emissions are not diverted away from the add-on control device to the atmosphere.
(iii) Valve closure continuous monitoring. Ensure that any bypass line valve is in the closed (non-diverting) position through monitoring of valve position at least once every 15 minutes. You must inspect the monitoring system at least once every month to verify that the monitor will indicate valve position.
(iv) Automatic shutdown system. Use an automatic shutdown system in which the web coating/printing or dyeing/finishing operation is stopped when flow is diverted by the bypass line away from the add-on control device to the atmosphere when the web coating/printing or dyeing/finishing operation is running. You must inspect the automatic shutdown system at least once every month to verify that it will detect diversions of flow and shutdown the web coating/printing or dyeing/finishing operation.
(2) If any bypass line is opened, you must include a description of why the bypass line was opened and the length of time it remained open in the semiannual compliance reports required in §63.4311.
(c) Oxidizers. If you are using an oxidizer to comply with the emission standards, you must comply with paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of this section.
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate temperature monitoring equipment according to the manufacturer's specifications. The calibration of the chart recorder, data logger, or temperature indicator must be verified every 3 months or the chart recorder, data logger, or temperature indicator must be replaced. A thermocouple is considered part of the temperature indicator for purposes of performing periodic calibration and verification checks.
(2) For an oxidizer other than a catalytic oxidizer, install, calibrate, operate, and maintain a temperature monitoring device equipped with a continuous recorder. The device must have an accuracy of ±1 percent of the temperature being monitored in degrees Celsius, or ±1 °Celsius, whichever is greater. The thermocouple or temperature sensor must be installed in the combustion chamber at a location in the combustion zone.
(3) For a catalytic oxidizer, install, calibrate, operate, and maintain a temperature monitoring device equipped with a continuous recorder. The device must be capable of monitoring temperature with an accuracy of ±1 percent of the temperature being monitored in degrees Celsius or ±1 degree Celsius, whichever is greater. The thermocouple or temperature sensor must be installed in the vent stream at the nearest feasible point to the inlet and outlet of the catalyst bed. Calculate the temperature rise across the catalyst.
(d) Other types of control devices. If you use a control device other than an oxidizer or wish to monitor an alternative parameter and comply with a different operating limit, you must apply to the Administrator for approval of an alternative monitoring method under §63.8(f).
(e) Capture system monitoring. If you are complying with the emission standards in §63.4290 through the use of a capture system and control device, you must develop a site-specific monitoring plan containing the information specified in paragraphs (e)(1) and (2) of this section for these capture systems. You must monitor the capture system in accordance with paragraph (e)(3) of this section. You must make the monitoring plan available for inspection by the permitting authority upon request.
(1) The monitoring plan must:
(i) Identify the operating parameter to be monitored to ensure that the capture efficiency determined during the initial compliance test is maintained; and
(ii) Explain why this parameter is appropriate for demonstrating ongoing compliance; and
(iii) Identify the specific monitoring procedures.
(2) The monitoring plan must specify the operating parameter value or range of values that demonstrate compliance with the emission standards in §63.4290. The specified operating parameter value or range of values must represent the conditions present when the capture system is being properly operated and maintained.
(3) You must conduct all capture system monitoring in accordance with the plan.
(4) Any deviation from the operating parameter value or range of values which are monitored according to the plan will be considered a deviation from the operating limit.
(5) You must review and update the capture system monitoring plan at least annually.

Last week I had my access plan to take in. This is the Tafe disability support process, how it works is you go in to see a counsellor or support services person, and talk to them about what you have and what support you need. You get paperwork filled out by your GP verifying everything, and you and the counsellor work up an access plan together. The plan doesn't say what your condition is, it only says what supports or accommodations you may need. For instance in my case it mentions that my hands and wrists fatigue and I will need to rest them during long studio sessions. (among other things)
I wanted to hand the form over to my ceramics tutor today so that he would be aware that sometimes I may need breaks etc. As I walked down the stairs to the ceramics class, I passed a couple of Tafe staff talking to each other. I was trying not to listen in but they weren't being particularly quiet. They were talking about someone else at Tafe, one of them said to the other "He's gone nuts!" and the other replied "Yes, didn't he say last year he has a mental illness?" I kept walking, head down.
It was really hard to pull out my access form and hand it over.
On the train home from the Voices Vic conference in Melbourne, I went up to the little cafe to buy a drink and the staff member there commented about how tired I looked. I mentioned I'd been at a conference and not had much sleep that week. When he asked what the conference was about I said Mental Health, and then added voice hearing. He went a little pale and pulled back, and I remembered that back in the rest of the world, this is scary and dangerous and not something people talk about. He was very courteous and we talked a little longer. I explained that many people hear voices that aren't distressing or dangerous, and that one of the aims of the conference was to try and learn from them what can be done to support those who hear voices that are awful. Working in mental health is like constantly crossing cultural borders sometimes, between very different worlds where what is normal in one is taboo in another.
This week I am hoping to fire my little creations and then I will take photos to show you. We have been learning some basic clay work techniques called hand building, that is just working with our hands, not using a wheel. We had to make some small objects of our own choosing, I have made two pitted stone fruit halves and a fat luscious pomegranate. I bring along a hand cream because the clay draws all the moisture from your skin and I get eczema quickly under those circumstances, so ceramics class is becoming forever linked to the smell of rose hand cream for me. Sitting down there in the basement watching the rain on the pavement up in the high windows is very special. The studios are so beautiful and so well laid out, I always feel at peace in them. It's so important for me to spend time being an artist and not let the peer work take over everything. My own studio is not set up properly yet, just a start. The whole unit is in limbo a bit, I'm having a lot of trouble convincing myself that I'll be able to stay living here. Things have been transient for a long time. It's hard to move in properly when you think you'll be leaving again shortly anyway. It's taking time, taking time.
I've been sick, quite suddenly. After a couple of days resting I don't think it's physical exhaustion, the timing is wrong. My head is busy and my heart is busy with a lot of processing. Sometimes it's hard with me to work out if the problem is more physical or psychological, and often a bit of both are going on. I feel full, I haven't been able to digest the conference or the funding training and opportunities or the situation with Charlie and my neighbours or getting a home of my own. I keep going out the back door and being surprised to find a yard there, it's bigger than I remembered and there's a tree and a lawn. It's all a bit surreal.
I was ill all morning, the TMJ flared and my pain level was high but I was out of painkillers and money. The joint pain was bad, I get a lot of inflammation in the tendons in my feet and my heels become really painful to walk on. My stomach has been upset for a couple of days now. I had to drag myself off to Radio Adelaide to do some homework due Monday night, it took a couple of hours which was a lot longer than I'd expected. Mostly it was because I was using Adobe Audition (on their computers) for the first time and the manual didn't have any instructions. I kept having to look up help online to work out how to perform basic functions. I got there in the end, I have my first interview recorded and edited. I pulled it from 7 minutes down to 5 and removed a lot of 'ummm's from my interviewee. I'm proud of that effort and I managed not to throw up on the computer either. 🙂 Monday is a long day but I have all Tuesday off, just some homework to do and friends to catch up with, which I'm looking forward to. One foot in front of the other.

Rhode Island/Closures/Main
In Rhode Island, most closures are published by RIDOT every Friday night on their Travel Advisories page. Note that we only map full road closures, not lane or shoulder closures.
If you discover a road that is closed, check with official town and local police sources to determine how long the closure is for (including town websites, Facebook pages, and Twitter accounts). If the closure is expected to last longer than a day, please report it to your State Manager so they can add it to the map. You can also report the closure by filling out the USA Closures Form, which will alert State Managers of new closures.
Listed below are some of the long-term construction projects currently active in Rhode Island. Please be aware of these projects, as they could be the source of many User Reports.

Studying the Nia technique helped my skiing tremendously. I started in September, took Nia classes twice a week, and my first ski day in November 2017 felt like I had already been skiing for half a season. Thanks, Suzanne
--Bob M.,
I've been doing NIA for a number of years now with Suzanne. I bring to classes a long-time and continuing practice of yoga and a life time experience as a serious musician. NIA ( and Suzanne ) bring the two together in a remarkable way. Attention to the rhythms, shapes, gestures, the phrasing, the soulful expression and the vital and structural nature of my body in the dance studio are all things that nurture an awareness for me on many levels that I take out into the world and apply, especially in my work as a pianist and piano teacher-
Garth Preston, Pianist and Educator
After recently having 2 daughters, I have found NIA dance classes with Suzanne to be the most effective way to connect me back to my body...especially my core. The strength NIA has given me both physically and emotionally carries me throughout my day so I can support the people in my life that need me the most.
-Michelle Miller
Stone Throw Studio
I took a delightful NIA class from Suzanne Oliver at her Stone Throw Studio in the Delta, Vancouver, BC, Canada area. She is delight-filled and makes dance easy and fun. If you're a "non-dancer" or just want some easy movement joy I recommend her highly. She will make you laugh!!!"
Margie Gillis, OC CQ is a Canadian solo dancer and choreographer
Nia for me works in several ways. First of all, it's a good aerobic and flexibility workout that you can take to the level you wish, that is actually a great deal of fun! I never wake up on a Nia class day and think- 'Oh I'm not up to that today….' I know I can just dance floatingly through on a 'tired' day, or go for it and come out sweat-soaked and thoroughly exercised on a high-energy day (love the martial arts segments), as I wish. In either case i will feel better and happy after class.
Second, done barefoot, it has proved to be a great technique to build back injury and declining fitness problems like fallen arches and difficulty getting up from a crouch, improve core strength and restore the sense of balance. Myself, my husband and other 60 plus Nia friends have noticed that we never skied better than after a few weeks of Nia classes. I'm back in the bumps with the grandkids!
And then there is the brain and 'creativity skills' workout. Frequent direction changes and cross-body movements in the routines get the brain cells firing, and adding your own tweaks to the routine is encouraged, not to mention the joy of 'dancing up a storm' in free-dance moments.
And it's all just playing!

Don't Let a Greek Phobia Keep You From Living Your Life.
If you're like most people who live with this fear, you probably wonder if you can ever be rid of it. After 10 years working with people with the most severe phobias, we know that – for anyone who is determined – greek phobia can always be overcome.
Here is what we offer:
- Greek phobia significantly improved, maybe even gone within a day
- Utter discretion
- We've helped people from 70+ countries vanquish their fear
Getting Started
We have two proven programs for Greek Phobia We have the Home Study program (where you can go at your own speed), or you can work with a board-certified expert practitioner in our one-on-one program:
Home-Study Program: Vanquish Fear & Anxiety
CD's and Workbook $147 or Download for $137
• Download Now and Start Immediately
• Work Privately on Your Own Time
One-on-One 'VIP' Program
Customized Program with your own very Experienced Practitioner
• Flexible Appointments with Board-Certified Practitioner
• Sophisticated Suite of Techniques to Remove Underlying Fear
How the Program Works: Getting Over Greek Phobia
Re-'wiring' your unconscious mind is the key to this program – and its safe and surprisingly easy to do. On the surface, you know that this business with terminology doesn't make sense. Yet the fear perseveres only because your subconscious has 'linked' the thought of terminology to a bunch of strong negative feelings – which get brought up automatically every time.
Getting rid of those automatic feelings isn't hard – you just need the right techniques for changing your reaction to your personal set of terminology-related triggers. We are here to teach you on how to use the right techniques to vanquish the fear forever. Interested in putting these techniques to use?

The Only Real Solution to Your Fear
Here's the thing, our system does not treat or cure your fear. The key to this program is knowing that you are the one who will be making the changes. Quite simply, we are here to hold your hand through this method of self-empowerment.
This process has proven procedures for overcoming rage, fear, depression, remorse and feelings of apprehension and helps you gain self-assurance, peace and happiness. No one should have to go through the continuous suffering you are experiencing. Harmful thinking isn't helping – you need to make some serious changes now.
Where Your Greek Phobia Comes From
The root cause of Greek Phobia is often (but not always) traumatic incident in the past. In some cases, it appears the brain has produced the fear with no instigation. By exposing the root cause, you will be able to remedy the problem by easily exchanging harmful triggers. Persons that find themselves at greatest risk:
• Individuals who are predisposed to feelings of worry and anxiety
• One who seems to be 'high-strung'
• If you experience adrenal insufficiency

Indicators That You Need Assistance
To find out the gravity of the problem for you, use our 2 minute Online Assessment for Greek Phobia Online Test although it is fairly clear cut: Now is the point in time to take control, if the fear is considerably taking over your life, in a negative way.
- Does the thought of Terminology make you nauseous?
- Does your mouth go dry and your palms get sweaty?
- Does your heart feel like it's going to pound right out of your chest?
- Do your legs turn to rubber?
These are just a few examples of symptoms people can experience. Read more on the symptoms of greek phobia.
Not only do we deal with the symptoms, we locate the foundation. This is what CTRN is all about
Prescription Drugs & Medications
We feel drugs and medication for Greek Phobia aren't the best approach, but make sure you always follow a doctor's advice when taking or stopping any prescription. The root cause of being Hellenologophobic is an unconscious mental association that links terminology to powerful feelings of fear. Meds can mask the awful feelings for a while, but never break the mental patterns at the core of the problem
There hasn't been a medication created specifically for treatment of Greek Phobia, just general broad-application meds – and with so many potential side effects, who wants to risk taking medication as a solution?
The good news is with our help, you will conquer your Greek Phobia, without drugs..
