It transpires that David Mundell's own reelection campaign was a recipient of the dark money donated to the Scottish Conservatives by secret donors. His election victory was bought on the back of donations from unknown sources. It shouldn't really be a surprise that the Scottish Secretary of State's reelection campaign in 2017 benefited from mystery funding, since what he does to benefit Scotland is a mystery too. David easily ranks amongst the top 99% of UK politicians. The only reason he doesn't rant in the bottom 100% is because of the existence of David Davis.
Former Tory MP Peter Duncan, who resigned recently from being a trustee of the Scottish Unionist Association Trust, the shadowy organisation at the heart of the dark money scandal, told the BBC that the £318,876 which the SUAT donated to the Scottish Conservatives was the "historic proceeds of tombolas and raffles throughout the West of Scotland going back 50 years". That's possibly the least convincing explanation since the insurance claim of a driver who drove out of their driveway and hit a bus, and said it was the bus driver's fault because the bus was running five minutes late. And the bus driver wasn't even Wullie Rennie.
Incidentally, while we're on the topic of donations. It was recently brought to my attention that there is a British nationalist gammonista on social media who was in full harrumphery mode that indy sites which benefit from crowdfunding have no right to talk about Conservative politicians receiving secret donations from anonymous people. Whataboutery is a side dish usually served with gammon.
There's a big difference, Bella Caledonia, Wings Over Scotland, Scotland Goes Pop, Common Space, and me, we aren't making your laws and imposing austerity on you for the financial benefit of the super-rich, and we state in public precisely what people can expect in return for their donations. Making a moral equivalent between the two is like claiming that collecting money from colleagues at work in order to buy present for a workmate who's just had a baby is exactly the same as someone interested in buying the company having a secret meeting with the manager to offer them a luxury car and a foreign holiday in return for cutting employees' wages and slashing their holiday entitlement.
We are open and upfront about our fundraising campaigns, the overwhelming majority of which are small donations of a few quid made by ordinary individuals who are far from wealthy. The Tories solicit donations from extremely wealthy individuals and companies in secret. There's a general rule in thumb in life, you don't get to be rich by being a generous and giving person, and the very wealthy who donate large sums to the Conservatives behind closed doors aren't doing so out of some disinterested sense of charitable altruism. In return for their cash they expect the Tories to pass laws which benefit them and their financial interests. That's precisely what the Tories do.
It was the national poet Rabbie Burns who wrote that we are bought and sold for English gold, in Fluffy's case, he's bought and sold for gold given in secret in dark rooms. At least those who sold Scotland out in the early years of the 18th century admitted who they were selling their souls to. Mind you, Fluffy is so lacking in competence that he's quite possibly sold his soul to satin and we can now look forward to seeing him make some interesting sartorial choices.
Public and political life in the UK is drowning in a dank cesspit. The Tories are funding themselves with secret donations from unknown individuals. They're buying elections with dark money. Then they use the power that they've gained on the back of this dark money in order to pursue an epic act of national destruction that is Brexit and spend all their time and energy fighting with one another while they trash public services and strip workers of protection and deprive the poor and disabled of a decent and dignified standard of living. Meanwhile, as the utter humiliation of Brexit looms and we're staring catastrophe in the face, the Labour opposition is mired in a destructive fight about anti-semitism. The current UK political scene can be summed up in that Gerry Rafferty song, "Anti-semites to the left of me, racists to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle of spew."
As if that wasn't bad enough, the far right is taking the advantage of the opportunity to gain influence. Even worse, they're being normalised by a BBC which is allowing them airtime. We already have Question Time and the BBC to take a large share of the blame for the high public profile of Nigel Farage, and this week Radio 4's Today programme broadcast a largely uncritical interview with Raheem Kassam, an acolyte of Steve Bannon and editor of the far right website Breitbart, championing the chummily named "Tommy" who was released this week from jail after serving time for contempt of court. Raheem, by the way, is a man who is on record of saying of Nicola Sturgeon, "Can someone just like … tape Nicola Sturgeon's mouth shut? And her legs, so she can't reproduce. Thanks." The interview was another step along the dangerous road of the normalisation of the extreme right wing.
There are reports that Bannon is now liaising with Conservatives such as Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees Mogg in order to drag the already right wing Conservatives even further to the political extremes. Labour is being castigated and criticised for its anti-semitism, but the anti-muslim prejudice which is rampant in the Conservatives is passing largely unremarked. We've seen plenty of these double standards in Scotland, where SNP politicians are hauled over the coals by the media for the slightest infringement, real or imagined, whereas the serial scandal of one Scottish Conservative politician after another being outed as a racist, a sectarian bigot, a misogynist or a homophobe is shrugged off as just one of those things.
Back in 2014, Scotland was assured that it was only because we were a part of the UK that our public life could guarantee the highest democratic standards. Opponents of independence smugly told us that being British meant being immune from extremism and intolerance. Four years later and the far right is being normalised in the British state. Intolerance and hatred is becoming public policy.
There is no evidence that SUAT money is in any way connected to the extreme right, and I am certainly not suggesting that it might be, however in a country where political donations are mired in secrecy, where political parties seek donations in private in return for who knows what influence, the rise of the extreme right and its normalisation by the media is a deeply alarming development. The point is that the way the UK's political system is currently set up, the far right could buy influence in a British political party, and the public would be none the wiser.
The UK doesn't offer Scotland protection from extremism, from hatred, from intolerance and racism. It puts us at threat of them. Scotland within the UK is at risk of being bought and sold for far right gold. We need out. We need a written constitution that provides a clear and transparent framework for our politics, and which gives us all a guarantee of our civil and human rights.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
Husqvarna 128LD Straight Shaft Detachable String Trimmer
- I am completely satisfied with the Husqavarna 128 LD 17 Inch Straight shaft trimmer. It runs great and starts without a hitch!
- My favorite feature is the straight shaft that allows easy rotation (click and turn) of the head for flat cutting or right angle edging.
- Straight shaft design is great for people over 6 feet tall.
- Good power and line feed setup works great. I had no problems feeding line out.
- Power seemed inadequate for the edger, which btw, this model husqvarna isnt capatable with own line of attachments.
- This is the most poorly designed line feeding trimmer I have ever used. The factory line was gone in under an hour, had to return and buy replacement line. Replacement lines jammed and broke off every 5 minutes of so.
ECHO PAS-225SB Pro-attachment Series Power Source w/Shaft Gas Trimmer
- The hedge trimmer attachment, by the way, came with the harness (nice add). Only issue I have so far is it can take quite a few pulls to start it.
- The PAS-225SB is perfect for light duty maintenance of regularly maintained yards, it works well with a single string / two cutting line head, and is very lightweight.
- Great Trimmer - love the ability to have other attachments. We have some heavy mulberry growth and the attachments are great for this.
- I needed a brush cutter for small trees and brambles. I decided to purchase this weed-eater and get the brush cutter attachment.
- This weedeater has been great...easy to start and has the easy load head for the cutting string...excellent product...would highly recommend it.

What customers say about "Features"
Husqvarna 128LD Straight Shaft Detachable String Trimmer
- The detachable shaft is a revelation. You get this, and over time add the other attachments, and you can take on just about anything if your clearing your property.
- One great feature is the three-position choke. One for starting, one for warming up, and one for after it's been operating for a few minutes.
- It is very easy starting and has a super easy string reloading mechanism.
- I didn't like the Husq gas cap. It was smaller, cheaper looking, much easier to cross thread.
ECHO PAS-225SB Pro-attachment Series Power Source w/Shaft Gas Trimmer
- Other than that easy to switch from trim to edger. Also like hangers for edger and trimmer . Storage.
- The trimmer was very easy to use.It started very easy
- Like how the cutting wheel quickly comes to a complete stop.
- Very easy and simple to switch out components (I.e., trimmer, edger, blower) and changing line was easy.
- The weed eater is probably the best on the market, The only complaint I have is that it didn't come with a strap.
- The only negative to this product is that the string holder head tends to get jammed and I am having to stop and untangle the string so it will feed correctly more than I want too.

What customers say about "Power"
Husqvarna 128LD Straight Shaft Detachable String Trimmer
- Good powerful trimmer.Starts easy.
- I know 2stroke motors run better after 2 or so tanks of gas so expect it might run a little rough or not have full RPM until the motor is fully broke in.
- With the first tank of fuel I could tell it needed a break in cycle. After that first tank, it runs strong, smooth and quiet for what it is!
- Plenty of power for deep grass, although it bogged down a few times.
- Very powerful and responsive to throttle position.
ECHO PAS-225SB Pro-attachment Series Power Source w/Shaft Gas Trimmer
- This has the power (with the brush cutter attachment) to cut small trees up to about 1 1/2" across easily. I am very happy with the power it has.
- Very pleased with the power and balance of this Echo trimmer.
- The trimmer is great the engine is more quiet than others that I have had and it is well balanced.
- There is so much power that the engine is run barely above idle to trim most grass.
- True, the engine will bog down in very thick weeds, but it recovers quickly. I'll take less weight and less refueling over a surplus of torque anyday.

Avocados are both pear-sized and shaped, with a single large stone (they are officially classified as a berry). Their rich, buttery texture and nutty flavour makes them popular in dips, wraps and even desserts.For a delicious salad that
you are guaranteed to want more of, check out the avocado sashimi salad.
Peaches have a fuzzy skin and a large inner seed, with flesh that can be white, yellow or orange. Packed with vitamins C and E, as well as fibre, this fruit is excellent for your skin anddigestive system. In case you find yourself with a few peaches that are past their best-by, we have an array of recipes forguides
Distinguishable from peaches by their smoother skin, nectarines work very well in salads. A good source of beta-carotene, which supports eye health, nectarines are also believed to have cancer-fighting properties. For a delicious gazpacho featuring this fruit, don't miss the recipe.
Sweet or tart depending on the type – and incredibly juicy – cherries are a delightful fruit that can be used in a variety of ways. Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, studies suggest cherry juice could be beneficial in reducing muscular inflammation. Put them in a healthy smoothie or create a lip-smacking salsa.
These sunny little fruits are related to peaches and have a velvety skin and sweet taste. Rich in antioxidants, they are believed to be quite potent against inflammation. Apricots are extremely popular in desserts, such as the apricot and coconut crumble cake.
Ranging in flavour from tart to sweet, plums are often bursting with juice. They are a good source of dietary fibre and studies have shown that they're also helpful in preventing obesity-related diseases such as high cholesterol and diabetes. Bought a few plums before they ripened? Try the plum carpaccio.

This quilt was stated in 2010 and made with friends in an on-line stitching group. We each chose a 12" block to make for the quilt. The quilt top was finished in January 2011 and I started quilting it but managed to muck up the back so put it aside until early this year when I gave it to Mum to unpick
Karen quilted it for me, then after I attached the scrappy binding, the quilt sat on the couch for 4 months until last night when I decided to stitch it down.
I love the ribbon border - this design comes from Quilters' Cache, and the setting design comes from a very old Debbie Mumm book.
There are two more quilts on the couch.

While Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer probably wished the conversation at the 2018 Big Ten Media Days could have stayed focused on just football, Meyer found himself answering questions pertaining to the firing of wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator Zach Smith.
Smith was fired after his ex-wife filed a domestic violence civil protection order, sparking an investigation into his past that dug up previous allegations of domestic violence against his wife.
Meyer said in his introductory press conference Tuesday he knew about Smith's prior allegations. He said it came back to him that "what was reported wasn't actually what happened," in reference to the 2009 allegation that Smith threw a woman into a bathroom wall, according to a Gainesville, Florida, police report.
"Whenever you get an accusation, contact your superior, you find out what happened and you let the people do their jobs, and then you let, I guess, the legal course run its course and find out," Meyer said. "We met with them, there were no charges, everything was dropped. There was a very young couple, and I saw a very talented coach, and we moved forward."
Meyer also was asked about a 2015 incident where Smith was arrested for felonious assault and domestic violence in Powell, Ohio. Meyer previously said there was "nothing" to the validity of the incident, but clarified he wouldn't know.
"I can't say it didn't happen because I wasn't there. I was never told about anything," Meyer said. "The first I heard about that was last night."
Pro-style Haskins versus Martell's intangibles
Meyer said earlier in the day that redshirt sophomore quarterback Dwayne Haskins is the quarterback in front, but that redshirt freshman Tate Martell has done well.
At the podium, Meyer commended Martell for his willingness to win at all costs.
"The greatest compliment and the most common denominator of every great player I've ever coached is competitive spirit … I see that in Tate Martell," Meyer said. "I see a guy that refuses to lose, and that's very appealing to a coaching staff."
On the other end, Meyer was asked about how to handle a pro-style quarterback, instead of the likes of dual-threat quarterbacks like J.T. Barrett and Tim Tebow, who Meyer coached at Florida.
Meyer said the offense molds to the best quarterback on the team, and that he holds plenty of experience with a pro-style offense.
"We take the best available player, we won three national titles, two have been with drop-back quarterbacks, pro-style quarterbacks, Chris Leak and Cardale Jones," Meyer said. "We go after the best player that has the intangibles of competitives and toughness and leadership and we build it around what we can do."
More praise for Dre'Mont Jones
After saying redshirt junior defensive tackle Dre'Mont Jones had the best spring of anyone following the Spring Game, Meyer doubled down on his excitement for Jones, who was named to the 2018 Bronko Nagurski watch list for the best defensive players in college football on Tuesday.
"He's a grown man and I can't wait," Meyer said. "He's one of our best players, if not, after spring ball, what I saw in spring practice, that's hard to say he wasn't one of the top one or two players on the team."
Jones was a third-team All Big Ten member in 2017 and is one of three defensive linemen who started all 12 games in his freshman season for the Buckeyes.

When some people fail to understand God, they give up. God has to obey our own ideas about how he should act and feel. When Paul sees that his knowledge falls short, he responds with worship. The word for the quality of God in this passage is ineffable. This word means that the description is beyond the ability of words to explain. Paul prays that the Ephesians would understand that Jesus' love is beyond comprehension.
I think that the hymns of yesteryear capture more accurately some of the theology of this passage:
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
To all life thou givest to both great and small;
In all life thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish but nought changeth thee.
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
All laud we would render: O help us to see
'Tis only the splendour of light hideth thee.
Ephesians 3:14-21
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
- Where is the Christian strengthened?
- How can an Ephesian know that which surpasses knowledge?
- How is the mind related to the spiritual growth of the Ephesians?
- How are you strengthened?
- Doyou know God's love without truly understanding it? How is that possible?

Yamaha Tracer 900 GT | Bike Tests | Latest Tests
When released in 2015, Yamaha's Tracer gained a reputation as a well-built, value-for-money sports tourer. For 2018, Yamaha has given the Tracer 900 an upgrade.
The past 12 months has seen electronic safety systems and super-smart riding aids take another leap forward. Items considered cutting edge in 2017 became accepted, and even expected in 2018. Features which were only found of high-end sportsbikes until recently, can be found on bikes carrying a mid-teens price tag.
This almost unstoppable march towards crash-proof and autonomous motorcycles may be impressive, but it has meant a new type of rider has emerged, one who is seeking to enjoy motorcycling in its purest non-digitised form. The result is a broader range of motorcycles than ever before are now available, and our roll call of 2018 Motorcycle of the Year finalists is a snapshot of the 2018 market and a glimpse ahead to 2019.
This year's MoTY line-up covers the LAMS, mid-capacity naked, big-bore naked, sports touring, superbike, power cruiser, and adventure segments. No matter what kind of bike you're into, someone has improved it or made a new one for 2018. Riders have never had it so good.
When released in 2015, Yamaha's Tracer gained a reputation as a well-built, value-for-money sports tourer. A lively 847cc triple cylinder engine wrapped in a nakedbike chassis with a few upgrades for touring.
But as good as that engine is, it couldn't make up for the lacklustre suspension that struggled under the weight of touring duties, there was also the added cost of panniers if you wanted to use the bike for its intended purpose, and the slightly cumbersome hangers required to fit them.
For 2018, Yamaha has given the Tracer 900 a slight upgrade; but more importantly, it has also released an up-spec Tracer 900 GT. On paper, the GT's upgrades looked to be MoTY material, Chris Dobie attended the Australasian launch of the new model and returned singing its praises.
"Splashing out an additional $1500 for the GT over the base model is a no-brainer," he said. It gets you all the good stuff on the base model plus a full-colour TFT dash, panniers as standard, heated grips, cruise control and an up-only quickshifter. The most significant upgrade is the fully-adjustable KYB fork and a new rear shock that's adjustable for rebound damping and preload.
Mark Penklis, the proud owner of a 2017 Ducati Multistrada and a big fan of sports-touring bikes, gelled with the Tracer 900 GT early.
"I like the way triple-cylinder bikes produce their power and I love the sound of this one," he said. "For $16,990, it's bloody good value. It's got quality TFT instruments and a new integrated pannier hanger system which is a huge improvement. I'm still not sold on the suspension, the GT is better than the base model, but it's still a bit soft for me."
Throughout the voting process, the Tracer GT methodically clocked up a cache of MoTY points in all criteria. Sitting above the sweet-spot five-points for build quality, it also scored into the sixes for technology and performance before peaking into the eights for value for money and riding confidence.
Comfort wise, Paul Andrews felt the forward tilt of the seat cost the bike a few of comfort points.
"I constantly had to push myself back in the seat, it became quite tiring after a while, and when pressed against the tank I felt the edges of the seat cutting into the back of my legs," he said.
Alex Penklis summed up the team's thoughts when he asked: "What more would anyone want from a sports-touring bike? The only things this bike needs is a pipe and a rear spring."
As each of the test team sampled the Yamaha, they came away impressed. It was appearing the latecomer to the MoTY party was in with a real shot of taking the honours.
Second opinion – Mark Penklis
The Yamaha Tracer 900 GT has one of the best riding positions of any sports-tourer. When you jump on this bike, everything falls perfectly to hand, and within a couple of minutes the bike feels like a comfy pair of slippers. That's not to say the 847cc triple-cylinder engine is any slouch, quite the contrary – the engine is spirited with an good balance of power and torque which is typical of three-cylinder engines, and when coupled with the up-only quickshifter it provides a solid sports tourer-level of acceleration.
The Tracer 900 GT has upgraded suspension over the standard model, allowing the bike to steer with precision on all road conditions. The slightly longer swingarm included in this update has improved stability over the previous model. As with most factory settings, the front-end had a bit of dive under heavy braking, but that was dialled out via the fully-adjustable KYB gold front fork. The twin rotors up front were effective with good initial bite and good feedback through the lever.
The colour TFT display is bright, and the thumbwheel interface is easy to use with clear menus and display options.
The build quality and finish are top notch, and the package matches more expensive sports tourers on the market.

Dirty Dancing: August 2013
Welcome back Dirty Dancers! I think it's safe to say we are into party season now. My local haunts (Newquay!) are packed to the doors with clubbers, ravers, dance fanatics and purveyors and connoisseurs of rare and enlightening herbs!
What goes up must come down however and, whatever your poison, sooner or later you are going to find yourself staring blankly at the ceiling and trying to cope with one of the worst headaches you've ever had, wondering why you just had to do that last Jagerbomb. What better way to return to the land of the living than by kicking back and enjoying some of the freshest and most exciting new music to grace our speakers this month? Ladies and gents, enjoy!
Single: Boofy and Lemzly Dale – Catch a Body/Banshee (Sector 7 Sounds)
Perhaps a little sinister to kickstart your night out, but that doesn't mean 'Catch a Body' isn't worthy of a second listen! A staccato rhythm gives little time for rest and relaxation as Boofy and Lemzly heap on the bass and the background sound effects. At home in some of the darker nightclubs, or at that underground party you've been planning for people who actually know about electronica, this needs a big system and lots of room to move!
Album: Blondes – Swisher (RVNG)
Blondes have a special place, if not in my heart then at least in my Dirty Dancing memory, as they were one of the first artists I reviewed and then subsequently interviewed. I was impressed back then and Swisher got me no less excited.
They have once again successfully broken the dance music mould with super-detailed, yet effortlessly cool and unconventional club music. This is the type of music we need to see more of on the scene; instead of mindlessly produced 'anthem style' tracks, it's refreshing to see artists working in the same genre but bringing their own style into the mix.
Single: Thomas Azier – Ghost City (Vertigo Records)
Azier returns to re-stake his claim in the electronica hall of fame in style. 'Ghost City', tinged with pop and loaded with atmosphere, is a rare treat, and if you've not checked out Thomas' debut EP (released a month or two back) then his new single is a perfect introduction to an artist that deserves your undivided attention.
Reflecting much of his past work but also including perhaps some ideas of things to come, 'Ghost City' retains the beautiful vocal structures of the Hylas EP but pushes things along at possibly a little brisker a pace.
Album: Current Value – Stay on This Planet (Subsistenz)
Eardrum crushing bass and twisted electronic malfunctions of sounds that threaten significant hearing damage. Piling bass into a track is easy, arranging it so that the music still remains individual and interesting is a different feat altogether. For an extended lesson in how to do just that, get hold of Stay on this Planet and prepare for an education!
Single: Frankee – Black Heart/Wonderland (RAM Records)
OK, forget everything I said about kicking back and relaxing; I don't care how hungover you are, get this on a powerful system and crank the volume through the roof! Drum and bass is a little tricky to get right nowadays – there's a danger of sounding a little samey, as if you belong on a Greatest D&B hits in the World EVER album, but in this case Frankee has got it spot on.
Uplifting and yet with enough speaker-punishing power to satisfy any hardened drum and bass fan, for me this should be the party starter of the summer!
Album: Noah Pred – Third Culture (Thoughtless Music)
This is very, very cool! Somewhere between house and mainstream dance and as at home on a house party system as in an Ibiza club, Third Culture is simply packed with depth and energy. Instantly conjuring images of glow-stick wielding clubbers, of dry ice hazes at four in the morning and that peculiar feeling you get when you don't sleep for 42 hours, if this doesn't make you want to go out, I promise nothing will.
Single: Tiger Tsunami – Spanish Nights
You may remember we caught up with Tiger Tsunami a month or two back and it's a genuine pleasure to feature his latest offering, 'Spanish Nights'. Uplifting - though slightly haunting - electro–pop, the melodies are intricate and the bass line is suitably subtle making this an ideal chillout track for a bit of escapism when the real world all gets a bit too much.
Single: Stealth – Scrummage/Nanite (RAM Records)
Bass is definitely the name of the game here, as Stealth buckets it on without regard for our feelings or eardrum integrity. 'Scrummage' takes the full frontal assault approach, diving straight in with the heavy rhythms, whilst b-side 'Nanite' tones things down just a fraction with a slightly more moody feel. Both tracks are well worth a listen and Stealth is definitely an artist to keep a close eye on.
Album: Yonderboi – Passive Control (Yonderboi)
Perhaps not falling strictly within the electronica genre boundaries, I've included Passive Control as a sonic illustration to what can be achieved when two musical worlds are blended.
Overflowing with live instrumentation, it would almost be insulting to label this album a 'grower', but it certainly takes a little time to get your head around. Succeed in this, however, and the results are no less than spectacular. 'I Am CGI' was an absolute standout track for me.
Single: Etienne De Crecy – We, Computers (Pixadelic)
As the name tends to suggest, 'We, Computers' does contain some electronic sounds. Deep, Moog-y bass is countered by buzzing synth that helps to cut through the atmosphere. Not one for the dancefloor (and leaning towards Euro-dance at times), casual genre listeners may well be discouraged from further indulgence, but for those willing to give it a good go, it's an intriguing listen.
Single: Rampa feat. SYF – Where Did I Go Wrong (Defected)
I believe I've mentioned before that it can be hard to add a unique flair to house music. Rampa is obviously not currently suffering from this affliction as 'Where Did I Go Wrong' is effortlessly entertaining. A mellow bass line is coupled with equally easy–sounding synth and held together with smoothly added vocals.
Better played on a big system, there's more than a passing similarity to the likes of Disclosure and similar, meaning the house crowd will definitely not be disappointed.
Quick Fixes:
Album: Noir – Use Your Ears (Noir Music)
Loving this. Mix album featuring plenty of fresh material as well as a few re-workings of old favourites.
Single: Basement Freaks – Soul Intoxication (Jalapeno Records)
Upbeat, funky party sounds for the start of a great night. What else did we expect from the Freaks?!
Single: Wilkinson – Heartbeat feat. P Money and Arlissa (RAM Records)
A grimy, gritty bass fest guaranteed to turn some heads.
That's all this month folks! Hopefully this month's Dirty Dancing has provided you with the respite you needed to recover what's left of your senses in preparation for the next big night, and given you some ideas for the right soundtrack to go with it! As always, all comments and fan mail can be uploaded at the DD Twitter page (@TDFDirtyDancing) and don't forget to keep an eye out for our Dirty Talk feature later this month when I'll be attempting to get inside the head of one of our favourite electronica artists. Take it easy!

Weight loss is widespread amongst individuals with cancer. Biochemist and nutritionist Mary Enig, PhD, and vitamin researcher Sally Fallon, authors of Eat Fats, Lose Fats, particularly advise eating small to reasonable quantities of saturated fats, the type present in real butter, cream, grassfed meats, and virgin coconut oil.
Eating less fats and extra fiber helps members keep a weight loss program of about 1,360 energy per day and around 24{03dd31ec2b9c6c45d2117182f70892d4b51e05279682af29397b578d171dd893} to 29{03dd31ec2b9c6c45d2117182f70892d4b51e05279682af29397b578d171dd893} fats, which is decrease than the typical American food plan. We all would possibly like the concept of a magic bullet, yet most specialists agree with Hyman that wholesome, sustainable weight loss would not come from extreme measures or single-faceted diets.
Few things are more discouraging to somebody on a weight-loss plan than the oft-cited statistic that 95{03dd31ec2b9c6c45d2117182f70892d4b51e05279682af29397b578d171dd893} of people that reduce weight will regain it inside a couple of years. Everyday meals are your entire foods, including nonstarchy vegetables, fruits, high-high quality meats and cheeses, nuts, seeds, wholesome oils, and entire-kernel grains.
Fit individuals have a higher variety of mitochondria — the vitality factories within our cells. To take advantage of the energy you ingest, emphasize foods with a low GL and high PI, including greens, fruits, beans, nuts, seeds, olive oil, entire-kernel grains, teas, herbs, and spices.
In an earlier attempt at shedding weight, I had read The South Seashore Food plan As with so many great discoveries†in my life, I bought all the stuff, made lists, adopted it perfectly… and misplaced interest. If you happen to share a kitchen with non-dieters, retailer indulgent meals out of sight.

BENIN CITY-Fresh allegation of extortion-induced arrests has hit the Edo State Police Command with a call on the Commissioner of Police CP Lawan Jimeta to carefully examine the activities of his heads of tactical units and divisions in the state.
To check the alleged corruption, CP Lawan Jimeta who assumed duty in the state on Thursday, November 21, 2019 has been advised to randomly monitor activities of his personnel on duty, as well as strengthen X-squad wing which deals with Police officers misconduct in the command.
An appeal was also made to the COMPOL not to base his successes in crime control and prevention in the state on the number of arrests made but the convictions and loots recovered from suspects as well as crimes detected before execution.
Some residents and security experts in the state stayed this to The NIGERIAN OBSERVER in Benin City.
Some SARS operatives stormed our homes at Uwasota about 2 a.m last December alleging that our sons were cultists.
They took them to police headquarters. When we got there in morning the IPO said they were investigating, in the afternoon he said he would charge them to court, by evening he said we should pay N200,000 each for bail.
We forcedly negotiated our individual son's bail, paid, they were released and that ended the allegation of cultism levelled against our children. Mr Erhahon and Pst. Isaac Uba alleged.
Another resident also alleged that his son who visited him from the UK was ripped off N220,000 by a team of policemen on patrol along Boundary road while on his way to catch his Lagos-bound flight at Benin airport.
The policemen followed my son to a nearby ATM spot where he withdrew the cash and gave them after they accused him of engaging in internet fraud popularly called Yahoo-Yahoo.
A security expert who claimed to have x-rayed the activities of operatives of Edo police command lately remarked that the newly deployed CP must first fight in-house corruption to achieve his goals in the state.
I have lived and worked elsewhere.it's only here police will arrest a suspect, keep in their cell and proudly tell the public that they are investigating.
Investigation and arrest which comes first in crime prevention and bursting?. He quizzed rhetorically.
He further challenged the CP and police authorities to prove ignorance of collection of 'Egunje' (bribe) along different roads by sending special team to apprehend and parade those involved.
It was in this Benin City that a one AIG Ekpoudum arrested, paraded and prosecuted some of his officers found collecting bribe from drivers.
It can be replicated and sustained. He further stated.
Contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer for Edo Command DSP Chidi Nwabuzor said any Police officer who effects arrest without due process does so at his/her own risk.
He explained that no police officer is authorised to take money from any suspect in carrying out raids.
DSP Nwabuzor however noted that act of carry out raid is to rid the state of hoodlums and criminal elements.
The operation on raiding is permitted by judges rule. The operatives will screen those arrested and pass such suspects to his/her superior. If found to be a victim of circumstance, such suspect is allowed to let go without paying any money.
Those found wanting will be properly investigated and prosecuted.

Things to note: Natural light is full of Infrared light. This is the same type of light that is used in our sensor to record your swing. Because of this, natural light can cause severe misreads if present while trying to use the unit. Make sure to keep the unit away from all exterior windows, or use heavy blinds to absorb the natural light.
Overhead lighting, such as office lights, ceiling fans, close to the ceiling lights, recessed lighting, and other lights on the ceilings can also cause misreads to occur with our sensor. Please make sure your sensor is away from all overhead lighting. If at all possible, only use lights that are low to the ground, aimed up at the ceiling, and behind the sensor, (preferably beyond 4 feet).
Try without lights on
- This will check to see if any overhead or nearby lights are causing the issues.
Try at night with lights on
- This will check to see if any natural light is causing the issues.
Try at night with lights off
- This will check to see if any lights are the issue.

text: The Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, 72, is the world's second-longest reigning monarch [File: Ahim Rani/Reuters] The United Nations has criticised new "cruel and inhuman" laws set to take effect in Brunei this week, which impose death by stoning for adultery and gay sex, and amputations for theft. The controversial measures - part of a new penal code set to be implemented on Wednesday - have drawn widespread condemnation. UN human rights chief Michelle Bachelet in a statement on Monday urged Brunei's government to halt the entry into force of the "draconian" new penal code, saying it would "mark a serious setback for human rights protections for the people of Brunei if implemented". 151223180327602 An absolute monarchy, ruled for 51 years by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, Brunei first announced the new penal code in 2013, but full implementation has been delayed in the face of opposition by rights groups and as officials worked out the practical details. Bolkiah, 72, is the world's second-longest reigning monarch and ranks as one of the world's wealthiest people. The new law mostly applies to Muslims, though some aspects will also apply to non-Muslims. It stipulates the death penalty for a number of offences, including rape, adultery, sodomy, robbery and insulting or defaming the Prophet Muhammad. UN Human Right Chief @mbachelet urges #Brunei to stop new penal code that seriously breach international human law – incl. death by stoning. Brunei retains death penalty in law but has been abolitionist in practice since 1957. Learn more: https://t.co/BgWjo1o5Fb pic.twitter.com/Jx8J5bTPzK — UN Human Rights (@UNHumanRights) April 1, 2019 It also introduces public flogging as punishment for abortion as well as amputation for theft and criminalises exposing Muslim children to the beliefs and practices of any religion other than Islam. 'High risk of miscarriages of justice' Homosexuality has long been illegal in the oil-rich sultanate, which practises a stricter brand of Islam than neighbours Malaysia and Indonesia, but it will now become a capital offence. Currently, only Saudi Arabia, Iran, Mauritania and Sudan have laws in place that punish homosexuality with death, though it appears such death penalties have not been carried out in recent years, according to UN rights spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani. In Monday's statement, Bachelet urged Brunei to uphold a long tradition of not applying death penalty laws that have remained on its books. The country last carried out an execution in 1957. Bachelet warned the laws could encourage violence and discrimination [File: Denis Balibouse/Reuters] "In reality, no judiciary in the world can claim to be mistake-free, and evidence shows that the death penalty is disproportionately applied against people who are already vulnerable, with a high risk of miscarriages of justice. I urge Brunei to maintain its de facto moratorium on the use of capital punishment," Bachelet said. The UN rights chief also warned that the new laws could encourage violence and discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual orientation and religious affiliation. "Any religion-based legislation must not violate human rights, including the rights of those belonging to the majority religion as well as of religious minorities and non-believers," she said. International condemnation Bachelet's comments come after a long line of politicians, rights groups and celebrities, including actor George Clooney and musician Elton John, condemned the new laws. Clooney and John are among those calling for a boycott of hotels owned by the sultanate, which include the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Dorchester in London and the Plaza Athenee in Paris. I commend my friend, #GeorgeClooney, for taking a stand against the anti-gay discrimination and bigotry taking place in the nation of #Brunei - a place where gay people are brutalized, or worse - by boycotting the Sultan's hotels.https://t.co/8ymurW7hqm — Elton John (@eltonofficial) Marc 30, 2019 Last week, former US Vice President Joe Biden called the new penal code "appalling and immoral" and said there was no excuse for such "hate and inhumanity". 190222081216276 The United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand have all called on Brunei to abandon the changes to its penal code. However, Brunei's socially conservative neighbours - many of whom also criminalise homosexuality - have remained relatively silent on the new proposals, according to rights group The Brunei Project. Sandwiched between two Malaysian states on Borneo island, Muslim-majority Brunei is home to some 430,000 people. The government holds no elections and provides generous policies including zero taxes, subsidised housing and free healthcare and education.

Plaque Text
One of the earliest reinforced concrete arches in Canada the Newmarket radial railway arch was built in 1909 by the Toronto and York Radial Railway Company. It was designed by Barber and Young, an innovative civil engineering firm, and supported part of a trestle bridge spanning the Holland River and Grand Trunk Railway tracks. An outstanding example of modern functional bridge design, this graceful parabolic arch had a clear span of 15 metres and a rise of 7 metres. Earth fill was used to build up the grade. After the railway discontinued operations in 1930, the trestle bridge was demolished. One of few of its kind, the railway arch was preserved in 1979 by the Town of Newmarket and the South Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority.

The Mandarin manipulates secrets to turn Avenger against Avenger.
The Mandarin and his Rings
Mandarin's Rings are the first Henchman Group that isn't 10 identical cards. Instead, it's 10 unique cards. When using these with a Mastermind besides Mandarin, they represent blasts of power from a distance, without facing the full might of Mandarin in person.
The Revelations set adds a completely new card type to Marvel Legendary®; Locations. These cards represent infamous strongholds in the Marvel Universe. Every Villain Group in the set contains at least one Location.
Location Clarifications
With all those Locations, it would be a shame if we added more spaces to the board.
We hope you have enjoyed our card previews of Legendary: Revelations. Join us next time as the Avengers make a last stand against some dark foes.
Legendary®: Revelations hits stores August 21.
When will distributors get part codes or a solicitation for this expansion?
Will the Mandarin be too easy for Solo mode?
In solo mode, there is usually 8 Villains and 3 Henchmen (i.e. 11 cards), I assume the Mandarin's Villain deck will only include the 10 Henchmen Rings and no cards from a Villain group, with all the Henchmen having just 3 attack.
Why not use the 8 villains and three random Rings?

Threat. These terms are used to alert you to the significance of the danger. All
evacuation instructions provided by officials should be followed immediately for
your safety.
Prepare an Evacuation Checklist and Organize:
Locate your Evacuation Checklist and place the items in your vehicle.
▪ Stay calm.
▪ Park your vehicle in an area clear of vegetation.
▪ Close all vehicle windows and vents.
▪ Cover yourself with wool blanket or jacket.
▪ Lie on vehicle floor.
▪ Use your cell phone to advise officials – Call 911.

Canyon Country
Wildland is the heart of Santa Clarita, but it brings about danger when conditions are hot and dry. As As flames rage, our fire crews work hard to protect life and property. We'll work hard to bring you the latest evacuation information, acreage and more.

CARLSBAD, Calif., March 30, 2017 – Once the holiday season is over, family law attorneys all over the United States get ready for the onrush of clients through the door at the beginning of the year. From January through March, the number of divorces filed rises as much as 30 percent depending on the statistics you believe – peaking right now in March.
Starting 50 years ago in California, each state adopted no-fault divorce laws. By 1980 there was only one state holding out. New York was the last state to get on board and sign a no-fault divorce law in 2010. No-fault divorce laws allow couples to get divorced by mutual agreement, without having to place blame or name a specific "reason" other than "irreconcilable differences" or even "incompatibility."
During this period of time, the divorce rate rose in the United States by 20 to 25 percent depending on the study you choose.
Now a Texas state legislator thinks it's time to reconsider the no-fault divorce laws. Representative Matt Krause of Fort Worth, Texas says he wants to "reinforce the sanctity of marriage," and that he believes getting rid of no-fault divorce will help couples work harder on restoring their relationships though tough times, or even give more thought to getting married in the first place.
Krause, who has been married 14 years, plans to introduce a bill this year to remove "insupportability" as grounds for divorce, and require couples to live separately for three years before filing for divorce. Couples unwilling to wait could file a fault type divorce on the grounds of adultery, cruelty, or abandonment. Couples could also file without waiting if one spouse was convicted of a felony or confined to a mental institution.
Representative Krause, Lawyer Myra is here to tell you this is a bad idea. Doing away with no-fault divorce is not going to lower the divorce rate. It may also create serious unintended consequences – and we have history to provide us an example.
When the state of New York was on the fence about following the other 49 states in allowing no-fault divorce, its legislators and researchers took a long look at the history to that point of no-fault divorce laws.
One of the reasons no-fault divorces were originally permitted was to reduce the instances of perjury in the legal system. Couples who mutually agreed on getting divorced under a fault system but didn't have a real "reason" like adultery or abuse would simply agree to make something up. Early no-fault divorce laws still required mutual consent, but the courts realized one spouse could "blackmail" the other spouse for generous financial settlements or other concessions before agreeing to go along. The number of litigated divorces increased as a result until the states moved to no-fault systems, which required one spouse to file for divorce without the consent of the other.
It is true that divorce rates increased in every single state that adopted no-fault divorce – at first. For up to five years, divorce filings increased when the no-fault floodgates first opened. But when this surge caught up with the law, divorce rates settled back down. As all states (except New York) adopted no-fault divorce, the national divorce rate stabilized, and then it dropped and continues to drop.
The peak rate was 23 divorces per 1,000 married couples in 1979. It dropped to 17 divorces per 1,000 couples in 2005. Nearly a decade later, the divorce rate is just four divorces per 1,000 couples in 2014, according to the Centers for Disease Control. In the state of Texas, there are even fewer divorces – just 2.6 divorces per 1,000 couples according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.
There is an even more important reason not to go back to the days before no-fault divorce. A University of Pennsylvania study cited in 2010 when the state of New York was considering the law showed the rate of domestic violence among married couples dropped 30 percent and the suicide rate among married women dropped as much as 16 percent in states after no-fault divorce laws were adopted. These are positive if unintended consequences and we certainly would not benefit from rolling these gains back at the expense of forcing a few more unhappy couples to stay married.
Representative Krause first proposed this legislation in 2015. It narrowly passed approval in a single committee, but failed to make it to the full Texas State Assembly for a vote. Experts say it's a long shot to be considered again this year.
Representative Krause's concerns about promoting the societal benefits of marriage may come from a sincere place, but they are misplaced against the societal damage done when the government makes an arbitrary decision about what two people should tolerate in any relationship.
What would be far healthier is educating divorcing couples about their options for avoiding a contentious, litigated divorce by pursuing Alternative Dispute Resolution such as mediation or Collaborative Divorce. This is especially helpful when children are involved. Reducing parental conflict reduces harmful long-term impacts of divorce on children, which is where the real damage of divorce is usually done.

GREENSBORO, N.C. --- Tusculum University second baseman Daulton Martin makes it a clean sweep by being named to the 2019 American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings NCAA Division II All-America first team.
Martin becomes the third consensus All-American in program history joining Maikol Gonzalez (2008) and Placido Torres (2016) as the only players to sweep accolades from the ABCA, National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and Division II Conference Commissioners Association. Of the trio, Martin and Torres are the only players to garner All-America first team honors from all three organizations.
Martin, a junior from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is a three-time All-South Atlantic Conference selection and led Tusculum with his .362 batting average while also leading the league with his 22 doubles (T6th in NCAA II) and 52 walks (3rd in NCAA II). He also led Tusculum with his eight home runs, 112 totals bases, .633 slugging percentage, .518 on-base percentage (18th in NCAA II) and five sacrifice flies.
Martin accounted for 15 multiple-hit games while also going 17-of-22 in stolen bases and was hit by pitch 11 times.
In 2018, Martin garnered All-America honors by the NCBWA (2nd Team) and the American Baseball Coaches Association (3rd Team).
In his 153-game career with the Pioneers, Martin is batting .384 which is the ninth-highest average in school history. He is also listed throughout the TU record book where his 54 career doubles are tied for the most in program history. He is fifth all-time in hits (214), fifth in triples (11), seventh in RBI (129), third in total bases (338), second in walks (105), fifth in hit by pitch (26) and second in career on-base percentage (.498).
Martin is majoring in business management and is a member of the SAC Commissioner's Honor Roll and the Tusculum Athletic Director's Honor Roll.
Tusculum finished the season with a 30-21 overall record and tied for third in the South Atlantic Conference. It was TU's 16th season with 30 or more wins in the last 17 years.
The ABCA All-America team was first recognized in 1949 and now includes nine divisions: NCAA Divisions I, II and III, NAIA, NJCAA Divisions I, II and III, Pacific Association Division, and high school. ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove teams were first recognized in 2007.
The ABCA, founded in 1945, is the primary professional organization for baseball coaches at the amateur level. The ABCA's over 11,000 members represent all 50 states and 25 countries. Since its initial meeting of 27 college baseball coaches in June 1945, Association membership has broadened to include eight divisions: NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA, NJCAA, Pacific Association Division, High School and Youth. The 76th annual ABCA Convention will be held Jan. 2-5, 2020 in Nashville, Tennessee.

DURING a seminar on private-public sector cooperation and the role of contractors organized on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the Jeddah Chamber for Commerce and Industry, the newly appointed mayor of the city warned sluggish contracting companies that they will be debarred and will not be able to bid for new contracts in the future.
He said there was a 90 percent delay overall in executing the projects of the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and a 40 percent delay in executing projects in Jeddah.
The mayor threatened to create a black list of irresponsible contractors, whose main job according to him is to win contracts and then subcontract them for execution.
The mayor said such contractors would be excluded and would not be part of the country's development process in the future.
He asked how contractors with such mindsets could be trusted as partners in development. He said Jeddah was buried under tons of construction waste because of the contractors and the cleaning companies were playing their part in keeping the city filthy.
One of the contractors responded to the mayor's accusations by expressing surprise. He asked how a person who comes from a business house to the mayor's chair could change his attitude so easily. He said this sudden change of attitude would negatively affect the interests of the contracting sector.
He pointed out that many contractors did not receive their bills even though more than two years had passed after completing the projects awarded to them.
The contractor then said even if the chair of the mayor would not change, the person who sat on it would definitely change.
He said the mayor was responsible for providing basic services to the people and society in general through the work of contractors.
The argument between the mayor and the contractor went back and forth, each accusing the other of negligence and irresponsible behavior. Both claimed that the other was answerable to the public.
Whatever is the case, it is the citizen who suffers at the end of it all. This heated argument between a senior city official and a major contractor comes at a time when the government asserts time and again that the private sector is a partner in national development and it is launching initiatives to stimulate private sector growth.
Despite the fact that the discussion was transparent and candid in admitting many shortcomings on both sides, it did not offer any scientific solution to help extend any unique services to the citizens. Instead, both ended up in shifting blame and threatening each other with consequences.
The mayor, while threatening to prepare a black list of lousy contractors, even hinted that in future the municipality might carry out its projects by itself, instead of awarding them to outside contractors.
End of the day, citizens will be the victim of this heated argument and exchange of blame. Although the municipality considers the classification of contractors useless, it points out the importance of rehabilitating them. This is a step in the right direction to distinguish qualified contractors and rehabilitate the rest.
We need to appoint honest officials to supervise projects to ensure that they are carried out perfectly and without flaw. We need to lay out solutions to our existing problems. This way, we will support the private sector, which is an important partner in the country's development.

The 10 Most Important Things To Consider Before You Start A Business
Starting a business for the very first time can be pretty overwhelming. Especially when you know the fact that 8 out of 10 businesses fail.
There are a number of reasons why businesses fail but one of the main culprits is "Bad Planning" and "Unanswered Questions Before Launch". That's why it is a great idea to get the main concerns answered so that you can lower the risk of failure and prepare for business success.
A DocStoc speaker who has worked with 100's of startup entrepreneurs, shares his advice for The Top 10 Questions To Consider When Starting A Business.
This is a straight forward video and I believe it is essential to watch this before launching your first startup.
10 Questions You Need To Answer Before Launching Your Startup
14 Comments
Wonderful video and truly motivational … it's a lesson and must know for startup … Thanks for sharing such great things
I really appreciate the kind words. Thanks for sharing that valuable information. Its good someone is promoting quality content. Nice explanation about these important things for consider you to start a business.
I really enjoy all the valuable information provided on this website. I'm pushing full steam ahead with my Call Center Outsourcing business and I've printed and bookmarked a lot of this information for reference.
These are really great tips and being a recent entrepreneur, I can really relate them to myself and my business.
Rigorous market and product or service research and existing competition analysis is very much important before starting up any business. Building a great product or offering a really useful service with a strong business model is another crucial part and finally the marketing. I feel the toughest part for a startup is hiring quality resources and retain them.
Starting up a new business needs tremendous strong nerve, risk taking ability, willingness to learn constantly and patience.
Thanks for sharing these simple yet very important tips.
Great video. I think having a backup plan after validating the business is super important. I love testing to make sure the product or new business I am launching will actually make money.
The tips are absolutely correct. The 2 most important for me are: "Can I carry it through?" and "Am I sure in my idea?".
If I don't think the idea is at least 80% proof, I don't get to it. Awesome tips, though! Cheers!
These are definitely some great tips that you should take into account before starting your own business, but in my opinion the vital advice is to have a "Plan B" in case something goes wrong. For example, one of my friends is about to invest in a man and van business, but he will not go for any loans from banks, friends and so on. He was working in USA for a couple of months and he and his girlfriend will invest only their funds in this enterprise. This is a decision I admire, because in the worst case scenario they will lose only the savings from the summer and then they could start a regular job, but at least they will know they took a shot. There will be no commitments to bank institutions, to friends etc. Anyway, my point was that even if you are really prepared and everything, just leave a small window.
I had a simple plan for my business. It has three main steps – believe, be patient, celebrate. Just keep believing. Take risks! Don't take them when you are not sure. You should become friend with your inner self. Wonderful video for starters. Thanks.
at least you have put some into action thanks
Joel – the simplicity of this is brilliant, and very relevant. The important thing I considered is – what's the emotional connection between my service and the customer? If there's no emotion involved, the marketing will be that more difficult.
Great Video!!! It clears a number of doubts that rise before starting any business. Thanks for sharing the video.
Hi Joel,
I think the best part of the video is the simplicity.
Not many people can see the light at the end of the overwhelming tunnel of tasks, meetings and to-do-lists.
He makes the process a lot easier and saves some people a lot of time and money
These are great questions to consider when I am starting a business. What is the vision for my business is another thing to consider as well. I realized that people buy my "WHY" more than the "WHAT" and "HOW". It is also the main reason why Apple is such a successful company because they emphasize on why.
Nice tips. definitely something i will be implementing when I start my soft drink business.
