I was at a lecture recently where the presenter stated, in very clear terms, the following:
Type 2 Diabetes is a lifestyle choice.
For many, that's a statement that may be hard to hear. We've been trained to believe that Type II diabetes is "in our genes". That we've either won or lost a genetic lottery.
It's not true.
Study after study shows the link between lifestyle choices and development of diabetes. Like the link between the drinking of sugary drinks and diabetes, for example.
Do genes play a role? Certainly. They predispose us. They increase likelihood. But the problem is not our genes. The problem is our choices. If you are genetically tall and keep banging your head on a door frame, at some point you have to make a decision to duck.
The good news is that choices are just that. They're decisions that we have the power to make.
If you're diabetic, pre-diabetic, or know someone who is, you might be interested in Lia's free Cooking for Diabetics class on Friday, June 10th at Loblaw from 6-8PM. You'll learn how to cook and eat in a way that will help you make the right lifestyle choices when it comes to diabetes.
RSVP by visiting the customer service desk at Loblaw in Collingwood in person, or calling 445-4175 x4.

Welkom bij Readytex : Sri Irodikromo
Sri Irodikromo is present at this exhibit with a variety of three different types of art. Remarkable are the elongated paintings of historical buildings in downtown Paramaribo. With scenes derived from old black and white photographs or parts thereof, these paintings portray the old buildings and people around them in a way which creates a sort of dreamy quality. This because they are mainly done in soft colors of acrylics and oil paint and also because there are no hard edges or lines to the paintings. They are a truly beautiful representation of Surinamese architecture in art.

A new study, published in the BMJ, suggests that drinking milk not only fails to prevent bone fractures, it may actually cause a higher rate of death.
Or that's the top line. Of course, there's a bit more to it than that.
The Swedish study asked 100,000 people about their dietary habits - a very decent sample size for a study like this - and found that women who drink three or more glasses of milk a day (680ml) were twice as likely to die in the period studied than were women who drank a more normal amount. That's a very significant finding, and a dramatic change in mortality rates, but it should be treated with a little care.
The authors' hypothesis is that galactose, a simple sugar found in milk, causes an inflammatory response which makes bones more likely to break.
The study appears to have been as well-thought-out as a study of this kind can reasonably be - they have attempted to control for all the various other factors that could account for the discrepancy: smoking, BMI, diet and exercise, use of dietary supplements, and so on. But, as I've written before, asking someone what their dietary habits are relies on their memory, which is necessarily fallible. It is nowhere near as reliable as a randomised placebo-controlled trial, and there may be all sorts of confounding factors which either the authors didn't think of or which they simply can't detect. For instance, as Prof Sue Lanham-New, head of the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Surrey, points out, all milk in Sweden is fortified with vitamin A. The authors acknowledge the fallibity of the study in their abstract.
The other point worth making is that three glasses of milk a day is a lot. The NHS recommends that you get 700mg of calcium a day, and milk is a good source of that, but one cup of milk, measured by the US Department of Agriculture as 244ml or a little less than half a pint, gives you 305mg. The 680ml that the people in the study were drinking would give 850mg, significantly more than the daily recommended allowance, and if they happened to eat any green vegetables or various kinds of soya or bread products, they'd be eating even more. According to the NHS 1,500mg of calcium a day can cause stomach cramps and diarrhoea, so you shouldn't be doing that anyway.
Results from the same Swedish study released last year, by the way, found that women who received less than the recommended 700mg are at higher risk of fractures and osteoporosis, according to Prof Kerrie Sanders of the University of Melbourne. So it is important that it is made clear that this study does not mean that milk is "bad for you" - simply that it may be possible to drink more of it than is good for you (and even that isn't proved conclusively by this study).
The advice to include milk in a balanced diet - among other dairy products, in moderate amounts - doesn't change at all. As Dr Louis Levy, of Public Health England, told my colleague Sarah Knapton: "Public Health England recommends that milk and dairy products, such as cheese and yoghurt, are sources of protein and calcium as part of a healthy, balanced diet; to make healthier choices, look at the label and choose those lower in fat. The findings of this study would not lead us to change this advice."
You would be wise, for a variety of reasons, not to drink a pint and a half of the stuff a day, though.

I concluded the last memoir with a summary of the terrible situation befalling the cashier I was sweet on. Desperately clinging onto her virtue in a hostess bars where her staff were ripping off idiot westerners for fortunes, she was in dire straits owing to a mishap that had befallen her father.
Her desperation had caused her to become seriously sick, and I found myself bailing her (or her family) out to the tune of $200. After that I was very consciously trying to avoid encouraging her to feel indebted to me in a way that would affect her true feelings, so I did the best I could to avoid her for a time – while the worry was eating me up. This is what I wrote:
I'm really worried about my dear cashier – possibly by now unemployed ex-cashier. I know she's extremely sick; twice she's hauled herself off her sickbed to visit me and she's looked terrible, so weak and frail.
She's such a private person that nobody – her friends, her boss, me – knows where she lives; I know she normally lives with her sister, brother-in-law and their kid but her sister left for their mother's on account of hubby's drunkenness, gambling problems and general uselessness; clearly a drunken imbecile and an eight-year-old kid can't look after my poor girl.
So she's suffering – dying possibly – alone and I can't do a damned thing except worry. I explained what kicked the illness off; at the same time her phone expired and of course she had no money to replace it. I gave her $25 to get a second-hand one but she understandably used the money to buy medicines so again, she's someone I cannot contact at all.
The last time I saw her I told her that if she continued to deteriorate I'd take her to hospital (a private one, not the local slaughterhouses) but she needs to gather enough strength to come out and see me before I can do anything.
What gets me is that she's such a good person and has always been there for other people and now she's possibly dying alone with no one to be there for her to help or comfort her. So much for traditional family values, community spirit and all those myths. She's only 29, normally perfectly fit and all she needs is two or three days on an intravenous drip to get some nutrition into her body, but as I've spelt out before, when you're that poor and you get sick there is no safety net and frequently no hope.
A couple of weeks later – at Christmas – I typed the next entry:
I managed to establish contact with my poor sickly cashier and I bought her at the second attempt a cheap old phone so that we could maintain contact. In time she managed to recover enough to return to work and I also compensated her for her loss of earnings (by this time I was making in a day what she earns in a month) which instantly evaporated – within a day her father was seriously sick and in need of hospital treatment with her maintaining bedside vigils and sleepless nights and her mad brother, accompanied by the mother, had moved in and was demanding succour by the poor girl.
They encamped just as the sister she lives was deciding to divorce her ne'er-do-well husband who is blaming my hapless lassie for her sister's defiant stance. The poor thing is hemmed in by an utter disaster of a family and yet again finds herself in a situation where everyone is making huge demands on her while no one considers for one moment just how frail she is even though the family were the cause of her spiralling into serious illness so recently.
An earlier incarnation of me would have been intent on 'rescuing' her but I hope I've learned from my previous disasters and whilst I'm trying to support her as much as I can I'm not prepared to get sucked into that family scene.
The honest truth is that I worry about the poor girl constantly, and when I see the results of how I've single-handedly put her back together again that does make me feel good although at the same time it also makes me feel that having done so much I can't just put a line under things and walk away. The thing that really worries me is this: Cambodia is one of the world's most notorious 'dependency cultures'.
I see how it happens and it's very interesting. After the years of devastating war and genocide foreign nations and NGOs wanted to 'do something'. Quite right too but due to a lack of awareness it has resulted in a nation collectively extending an open hand and expecting to be given something for nothing which ironically hinders development and is of no benefit to either recipient or donor.
A culture needs to develop whereby resourcefulness and hard work is rewarded and opportunities created, yet right now the governments of those same donor nations are sickeningly yet again betraying the poor nations at the WTO talks. Here at the bum end of global injustice I see the pain; I feel the hurt.
I'm desperately trying to avoid a scenario whereby the family and I are re-enacting the same patron-subject game. When I initially handed over $200 after the father's accident I initially presented it as a soft loan to be repaid only when the family were able.
I was of course aware that there was no hope that could ever happen but so was she and it just added to rather than reduce her stress until I back-tracked. This time as I softened again and insisted on handing over a further $200 in order that her mother could take her father back to her homeland armed with sufficient medicines and thus allowing my girl to be free of their pressures I tried to make clear that her mother must make the money last as long as possible and that I can't help the family out over repayment of the loans they took out to raise their share of the father's compensation he had to fork out the previous month, but whilst I know that she hates accepting my largesse as much as I hate bestowing it (because it's so awkward for her and creates a dependency relationship between us) I can't know what the family actually thinks about my contributions and it's as devilishly complex on this personal level as it is in global politics to play the thing right.
A mysterious benefactor bailing them out to the tune of $400 was obviously not going to go unnoticed and uncommented on by the family. As far as I can gather their collective response is not 'bleed him for bucks' but the far more reasonable 'marry him', and even then their thinking appears to be primarily her best interests as in the real meaning behind Jane Austen's corking opening sentence in Pride and Prejudice; "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
I'm acutely aware that there are countless other families all around me in equally appalling circumstances without a sugar-daddy to bail them out. Many manage to just about get by somehow, whereas many other don't. I have no doubt that my lass and her family would have been in the latter category.
I've said it so many times already but when abject poverty is so up close and personal it's just so distressing.

Questions & Answers
Questions from League of Women Voters of California Education Fund (1)
As a California School Board Association delegate, i worked with other CSBA board members to simply the language used in the plan and lobbied the state to implement the changes for this school year. Our district is working hard to include and involve our parents in the process. We have adjusted the language of last years plans so the process will be more understandable to all parents this year.
The district recognizes that communication is a two way street. Parents are encouraged to come to the meetings when the plan is reviewed. Staff have been trained to ask and listen to the parents' input. Principals keep notes of informal communciation from parents during the school year that can be incorporated into the plan at the more formal meetings. Plans are made for each site and then complied into a district wide plan. Plans, also, are shared with the district level parent committees i.e. Gifted and Talent (GATE) parents and English Language Learners (ELL) parents.
All plans are available on line on the district's web site and at individual school site web page. The measurement of the outcomes will come from parent and student survies, the state academic assessments, progress reports, suspention and expulsion rates , A-G completion rates, English proficiency rates, and high school gratuation rates. All of these reports are used in evaluating the success of the Local Control plans.
Questions from League of Women Voters of North County San Diego (1)
The district has worked hard to improve the schools, individual sites, the instructional programs and the internal business operations of the district, we have come a long way. We, also, have become more concerned about the safety of our students while they are at school. Hence, the district has been increasing the fencing at sites where needed. Visitors to all of our schools have to sign in and all staff wear a identification badge. In addition, staff members have been getting a variety of safety trainings.
Yet, my concern is that too many children themselves do not feel safe at school. According to one of our surveys, the number of students who do not feel safe is way too high and has not changed for several years. I think if students do not feel safe, they have difficulty paying attention in class and learning the lessons that are being taught.
Under my encouragement, the past superintendent, tried an anti-bullying/good citizen program. Although we have been doing the program for three or four years there has not been a change in the percentage of students who feel safe at school. We still have too many children that do not feel safe at school and not learning up to their potential.
So I have been pushing for an anti-bias bulling program which works for acceptance of ALL children. It builds on how much alike we are all. It builds a feeling of community in the classroom and school. And hopeully, out into the greater Oceanside community. I will continue to work to see this program in our schools, if re-elected.

Questions & Answers
Questions from League of Women Voters of California Education Fund (1)
Establish a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) in collaboration with the public will establish transparency and engagement. The public will understand how funds are being spent. Identify, define what are the priorities; how we will address those priorities, success with those priorities will be a means to measure outcomes. Information sharing with parents and stakeholders, communicating early and frequently with parents, stakeholders. Collaborating with parents, school site councils, stakeholders for the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the Local Control Formula Funding is essential to successfully; enable Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) to succeed and the public to understand the LCFF. Involve our parents if we want to engage our students. We must Talk to, talk with but not talk at parents and stakeholders. All may have different levels of understanding of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) but all are to be respected and honored. We each have our own values and beliefs but we can collaborate and cooperate to ensure quality education and equity in education for all our students. Our parents', community's, and stakeholders' educational priorities, challenges, and concerns are to be voiced, heard, and given a response. It is imperative that transparency is a component of the LCFF. As your Oceanside School Board Trustee, I will communicate and collaborate to plan, implement, evaluate and then again plan, implement, and evaluate (continuous reviewing) the LCAP and LCFF and be flexible and accepting of changes.
Oceanside is a highly diversified community with a multitude of languages spoken within the community, ALL parents must have language accessibility to both LCAP and LCFF to ensure positive two-way participation, support, and ownership. To measure outcomes for LCFF, the LCAP's goals/priorities should be establish to demonstratertion that actions, services, expenditures changes improved relative to the funding: reduced absenteeism and suspensions, increases student enrollment and the number of AP classes. We must discuss with parents and stakeholders what was successful and what can be improved. An increase in parents' and stakeholders' positive participation, engagement and support for our educational issues is a means to measure outcome. Has there be an increase in the qualative and quantity students' achievement? Establishing a Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) for each school and for the Oceanside School District will be the means to determine if Local Control Formula Funding is successful. A well thought-out and well-planned LCAP for schools and the district will ensure that the public understands and supports the schools.
Questions from League of Women Voters of North County San Diego (1)
The most significant challenge is student underachievement with consequent decreasing student enrollment. Approximately sixty-eight percent (68%) of the students who attend schools in Oceanside come to school speaking a primary language other than English. All students must have access to a rigorous core curriculum at the same academic level as provided to proficient English speakers. As a responsive listener on the Oceanside Unified School Board, I will be in communication with students, parents, and stakeholders to develop a proactive dynamic rigorous educational program which engages students, and provides skills for success, quality preparation for career opportunities, high paying jobs, and community job growth:
1. It is at Middle School, that students decide if they are going to be readers or nonreaders; therefore, we need to increase reading level with professional development in teaching reading and reduce class size
2. Extended school day and extended school year to extend the learning time for all students

Questions & Answers
Questions from League of Women Voters of California Education Fund (1)
Each district must submit a plan to the County of how they are going to use the LCFF. In order to write the plan, parents ,school staff and community must be involved in creating and making the decisions that ultimately become the plan.The plan must address 8 components or tell why they are focusing on 1 or two components for that particular year. Once that plan is completed , it must be made public. If this process is followed, the public will be well informed. The public can question if they do not see that all eight components have been addressed.The plan must be updated and submitted each year.
Questions from League of Women Voters of North County San Diego (1)
As I see it, Oceanside residents have passed two school bonds to upgrade our schools and they are now beauutiful but, Our students are not performing well academically. 38% of our students are reading and writing on grade level.32% are able to do grade level math. That is not okay, we must change that. Our Oceanside citizens have supported the district. Property Values go up if test scores go up! I think we can do it.

I am campaigning for Proposition 55 to continue taxing the wealthiest Californians to ensure that the funds go directly into the classrooms and not towards administration or bureaucracy. I'll scrutinize the allocation of funds for all costs to determine how our dollars are spent, where, if specified, funding is directed towards specific programs and gauge whether or not theseprograms are effective in regards to the students. I'll also work with the administration and district personnel to examine the LCAP and prioritize funding towards students, classroom materials, and staff. My priorities, especially after spending the last 20 years in the classroom, must be students, families, and programs that will assist in the success of all of our children, academically, socially, and emeotionally.
Questions from League of Women Voters of North County San Diego (1)
I believe that Oceanside Unified School District has some challenges that we can remedy by working together and setting our priorities. The most challenging problem that we are currently facing is providing adequate options for student to who do not plan on attending college. Many of our classes, especially in high school are designed for college prep, but our vocational and technological options for students are very limited. I'd like to see us serve all children in the district by offering many more classes in the arts, trade, and technology. Our data indicates that about 40% of our students are prepared for four-year colleges and universities. The remaining 60% are being short changed by our diehard believe that all students are college bound. We need to offer alternatives to college and work very closely with our community colleges to prepare our children for two year degree programs and vocational training and internships.

This is one of our family's favourite recipes and it is pretty much a sale for any family occasion or gathering.
While pavlova gets a bad rap as difficult to make, if you master the basic technique it can be quite easy. This following recipe is based on Stephanie Alexander's recipe and we have been using it for years as it is pretty foolproof and easily adaptable to making larger versions.
A couple of things to remember before starting.
- Have eggs that are very fresh and are resting at room temperature. We like large NZ organic eggs for this.
- Reserve the egg yolks to make a custard or scrambled eggs the next day.
- Your utensils also need to be very clean and free of oil.
- Oven temperature is critical. Know your oven and experiment with the best way to get the best result for your pavlova.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Skill Level: Easy/Medium
This recipe is for one large round pavlova.
When serving more than 6 guests we double the recipe and adjust the cooking time.
- 4 egg whites
- pinch of sea salt
- 250g caster sugar
- 2 level teaspoons cornflour
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- few drops pure vanilla essence
- 300 – 500ml whipping cream or a mixture of mascarpone cream and whipping cream. Carefully fold the mascarpone cream with the whipped cream
TOPPINGS – for this recipe we have chosen the berries and nuts variant. At our restaurants we currently serve the Mango and Lemon Curd topping variant.
- 1 tablespoon Pistachio Paste – more or less to taste
- A handful of shelled fresh pistachios
- Redcurrants, raspberries or any red berries of your choice
- Fresh perfect basil leaves
We have also finished this off with baked rhubarb, plums and rosewater finished with pistachios, Persian fairy floss and added a little bit of rose pink colouring to the pavlova for a pretty pink effect.
- Preheat oven to 180C
- Line a round baking tray with baking paper cut into 20 – 25 cm diameter.
- Beat egg whites and salt together until stiff peaks form. At this point add the sugar gradually – about a third at a time in a steady stream – continue beating. Finish adding in the sugar, beat until the meringue is very thick and shiny.
- Slow the beaters down to a walking pace, gently sprinkle in the cornflour, vinegar and vanilla essence. Continue to beat until fully incorporated especially the corn flour.
- Pile the meringue onto the lined baking tray smoothing the sides and flatting the top but not too much. The meringue will expand so don't take it too close to the edge.
- Place in the middle rack in oven & lower the temperate to 150C. Cook for 30 minutes. Reduce the temperature again to 120C for a further 45 minutes. Turn off oven and leave inside the oven until completely cooled.
Once cooled and you are ready to serve, gently slide the pavlova onto a serving plate. Dress the pavlova just before you are about to serve it and not before or the shell will go soggy.
Whip up the cream until it is firm (you can do this ahead of time and store covered in the fridge) or if you prefer to add half volume whipped cream with mascarpone & fold together. Fold in the pistachio paste until well blended but don't over blend or whip.
Dress with the berries and basil. You can then finish this off with a light dusting of icing sugar through a fine mesh sieve.
Serve immediately.

United States District Court, D. New Hampshire
January 12, 2016
Belsito Communications, Inc. d/b/a 1st Responder Newspaper and Brian K. Blackden, Plaintiffsv.New Hampshire State Trooper James Decker, Defendant Opinion No. 2015 DNH 009
Since approximately 2007, Brian Blackden has been a part-time freelance photographer. During that period of time, he has submitted photographs to a number of regional media outlets, including Belsito Communications, publisher of a website and newspaper called "1st Responder News." Together, Blackden and Belsito Communications bring this action against New Hampshire State Trooper James Decker, claiming that Trooper Decker violated their constitutionally protected rights. See generally 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
Trooper Decker moves for summary judgment, asserting that there are no genuinely disputed material facts and saying he is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Plaintiffs object. For the reasons discussed, Trooper Decker's motion is granted.
Standard of Review
When ruling on a motion for summary judgment, the court must "view the entire record in the light most hospitable to the party opposing summary judgment, indulging all reasonable inferences in that party's favor." Griggs-Ryan v. Smith, 904 F.2d 112, 115 (1st Cir. 1990). Summary judgment is appropriate when the record reveals "no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a). In this context, "a fact is 'material' if it potentially affects the outcome of the suit and a dispute over it is 'genuine' if the parties' positions on the issue are supported by conflicting evidence." Int'l Ass'n of Machinists and Aerospace Workers v. Winship Green Nursing Ctr., 103 F.3d 196, 199-200 (1st Cir. 1996) (citations omitted).
Several years ago, Blackden briefly worked as a firefighter/EMT for the towns of Kingston and Newton, New Hampshire. He has not, however, ever been licensed or certified as a firefighter by the State of New Hampshire, nor has he ever taken any firefighting training at the state fire academy. Blackden Deposition (document no. 44-27) at 36. Beginning in about 2007, Blackden became a part-time freelance photographer. Over the years, he has submitted photographs to a number of regional news outlets, including Belsito Communications, a publisher of both online and print media including "1st Responder News." Joseph Belsito, president and sole owner of Belsito Communications, described "1st Responder News" as a "niche publication that is delivered to the emergency services community . . . . that reports on local news and incidents within the states that it serves." Belsito Deposition (document no. 44-32) at 9.
In 2009 or 2010, Blackden purchased a vehicle formerly used as an ambulance by the Town of Derry. Blackden Deposition at 137-38. He modified the vehicle only slightly (to accommodate some of his equipment), but he did remove the red lenses from the front of the vehicle, and replaced them with yellow or amber lenses. Id. at 138. He did not, however, remove the red lenses from the four lights at the rear of the ambulance. So, other than a sign above the license plate that read "Fire Department Photographer, " the rear of the vehicle appeared as it had when it was in use as an ambulance. Id. at 141-42. Blackden also maintained a portable radio that was tuned to "all the fire department radio bands for basically the lower half of the state and one was a business band radio that certain people in this area use to communicate." Id. at 142.
Blackden testified that in the early morning of August 25, 2010, he was awakened by an alert tone on his radio, indicating that there had been an automobile accident on Route 93. Id. at 148. Blackden got up and drove his re-purposed ambulance to the scene. When he arrived, he parked on the right side of the highway, at the edge of the pavement. The vehicle that had been involved in the accident was to Blackden's left, in the median strip. At that point, "different rescue vehicles started showing up and [he] put on [his] gear, walked across the street, stood in front of the Penacook Rescue vehicle, and just started taking pictures of the scene." Id. at 151. Blackden's "gear" included a black firefighter's "turnout coat" with yellow and white reflective bands, and a black firefighter's helmet, on which Blackden had affixed the word "Photographer." See Id. at 111-12, 116, 151, and 172. Blackden's attire plainly created some confusion on the part of emergency responders at the scene. For example, the Canterbury Fire Chief testified that Blackden "blended in so well with our rescue crew that I didn't know who he was at first. He looked like he was one of Penacook Rescue's crew." Affidavit of Chief Peter Angwin (document no. 44-17) at para. 7. See also Id. at para. 10 ("He stated that he was with Penacook or something about Penacook Rescue. I thought he said he was with Penacook Rescue.").
At some point, Chief Angwin approached Blackden and asked if he owned the vehicle parked on the right side of the highway. Blackden told him he did. Because he was concerned that the location of Blackden's vehicle posed a potential safety hazard, the Chief asked him to move it to the same side of the highway as the rescue vehicles. Blackden complied and drove his re-purposed ambulance to the left side of the highway, and pulled up behind a Concord fire truck. Blackden Deposition at 160. As he left the vehicle, Blackden activated the red "wig-wag" lights on the top rear of the vehicle. He also activated yellow "arrow" lights, as well as the vehicle's emergency (brake light) flashers. Id. at 162.
As a freelance photographer, Blackden had been on the scene of several automobile accidents and fire emergencies. He was, therefore, aware of the fact that he should not interfere with the emergency responders or intrude into the "working scene." Id. at 158. So, he typically tried to remain "outside the perimeter" of any accident scene he was photographing, and testified that it's "pretty easy to tell from the way the [emergency] vehicles are parked" where that perimeter has been defined. "As long as you're on the far side of [the emergency vehicles], that's the outside of the scene." Id. at 159. See also Affidavit of Peter Angwin at para. 15 ("It is common for an incident scene to be delineated by the presence of fire and emergency vehicles. These vehicles are often used as obstructions to prevent unauthorized access to an incident scene. When responding to incidents on the highways, it is our protocol to set up a safety zone by placing a fire engine or other apparatus approximately one hundred and fifty (150) feet away from the incident on the same side of the highway.").
So, while he may have parked his vehicle "outside the scene, " (i.e., immediately behind the Concord fire truck), Blackden plainly entered (and remained inside) that perimeter while he was taking photographs. See, e.g. Blackden Deposition at 151 ("I put on my gear, walked across the street, stood in front of the Penacook Rescue vehicle and just started taking pictures."); 156 (same). Chief Angwin testified as follows:
I saw Blackden take a couple of pictures. He was approximately thirty-five feet from the vehicle. Ordinarily, I would not have allowed a member of the press or media to get that close to the vehicle. On the day of the incident, if Blackden was dressed in a shirt and a tie, I would have had him removed from the scene. Blackden was able to get that close to the vehicle because of the gear that he had on and because of what he had previously said to me [that is, something about being "with Penacook"].
Blackden did not have authority to be on the scene.
Affidavit of Peter Angwin at paras. 11 and 12.
Shortly after he moved his vehicle, Blackden learned that the driver of the automobile involved in the accident had died. He approached Chief Angwin and asked whether he wanted Blackden to take "extraction photos." Blackden Deposition at 161. After the Chief responded "no, " Blackden turned around, began walking back to his vehicle, and was confronted by Trooper Decker.
Trooper Decker had arrived at the accident scene at approximately 6:00 am, at which point he saw an "ambulance-like" vehicle parked at the rear of the scene, with its red lights activated in a "wig-wag" or alternating fashion. See Affidavit in Support of Search Warrant, Exhibit 1 to Decker Affidavit, (document no. 44-22) at para. 4. Trooper Decker further testified as follows:
Mr. Blackden was observed on scene as well [as personnel from Canterbury and Penacook Fire and Rescue]. He was attired in "turn out" gear: A protective firefighting coat and firefighter's helmet. Additionally, he had a radio/scanner slung across his chest. He was also holding a full-sized digital camera. At the time he was first observed, Blackden was walking away from the crash scene, but still within the active scene.
* * *
Upon being questioned, Blackden identified himself as being "with Penacook Rescue." He further stated that he was "toned out to the scene by Penacook Rescue." Blackden asserted that he was there to photograph the scene on behalf of Penacook Rescue, and that he was trying to get "extraction photos."
Id. at paras. 9, 10. After determining that Blackden was not a member of the rescue team from either Canterbury or Penacook, Trooper Decker questioned Blackden about his presence at the scene. And, having been told by Blackden that he was "with Penacook Rescue, " Trooper Decker asked Blackden for his credentials. See, e.g., Decker ...

Sjoert Brink and Bas Drijver have withdrawn from the Dutch Open Team who will compete this summer at the Bermuda Bowl in Lyon, France.
The reason is that the World Championships dates coincide with the school holidays. Brink and Drijver, both father of two children, are giving priority to their family life. Brink and Drijver's decision is a serious loss for the Netherlands, which had high hopes for a place of honor at the World Cup. Brink and Drijver are world class players. Last year the pair won the butler at the European Championships and the World Bridge Games.
In a first reaction, teammate Simon de Wijs shows how challenging their absence is perceived to be: "I think the timing of the World Bridge Federation is clumsy. Many top events take place during the summer. The agenda is simply too full. Nevertheless, I am also a little disappointed by Bas and Sjoert. I had really hoped that they could make the time."
Team Captain Anton Maas confirmed that there have been various attempts to convince Brink and Drijver to play in Lyon, without success.
The news has been announced by IMP – Bridge Magazine
Updated March 28, 2017 – After the publication of our article yesterday, many readers expressed their doubts about the real reasons which led Brink and Drijver to withdraw from the World Championships. We thus asked Sjoert Brink directly: "Do you and Bas intend to leave the Netherlands and start playing for another country?"
Brink answered: "If Lyon was one month later and not in holiday Bas and I would have played for Netherlands. But maybe in future we will play for another country…I have no idea".

6 Things You Should Know As a Novice Abstract Painter
While we have certainly written in the past here at ArtWeb about some of the abstract artists of which you should be aware, we haven't focused much on the basic point and essence of abstract painting, and what it should mean to you as a practitioner of this sometimes misunderstood art.
If, like me, you believe in painting as a brilliant mode of expressing your personal being, emotions and character, you might be interested in abstract painting as a practice that is seemingly freer than figurative painting, and therefore – at least in theory – a truer and purer form of creativity.
But is abstract painting really that… deep, or is it seemingly a meaningless 'anything goes' universe populated by artists who 'can't paint'? We'll leave you to arrive at a conclusion on that one – but here are six of my own thoughts on the subject.
1. We don't need the outside world to express ourselves
Many artists, both beginner and experienced, lament that visual art seemingly depends on the representation of something tangible, out there in the real world. We can sing about our pure feelings, but we can't paint them; we have to paint at least something that exists beyond mere emotions.
But in truth, abstract painting does bring us close to this unfettered form of creativity and emotional expression that we may widely consider music to be.
The wonder of abstract painting is the realisation that we don't necessarily need to be bound by the traditional 'rules' and 'techniques' of painting, or the apparent need for what we paint to 'represent' a tangible real-world object at all. In short, in theory at least, it is about revelling in paint itself.
2. It's not just canvas on which you can paint
You don't necessarily need to stretch or buy a canvas to get started with abstract painting – indeed, medium-density fibreboard (MDF) panels and acrylic paint go very well together. All that you have to do to provide the right ground for your painting is sand the panel and treat it with gesso.
3. Black lines aren't only good as outlines
So, let's imagine that you're making liberal use of vibrant shades of blue, red and yellow in your abstract painting, perhaps with dashes of white to provide some well-placed highlights. What role could black have in your painting? Surely, if you mix it with the other colours, you'll end up with something horribly muddy-looking?
That may be so, but another strategy could be to incorporate black lines in your painting. No, we aren't necessarily referring to using them as outlines for colour planes, but instead to add a further sense of dynamism, spontaneity and unpredictability to your painting.
4. Abstract painting isn't a 'get out of jail' card for unskilled painters
The reputation of abstract painting in some quarters as an 'anything goes' world really does it a grave disservice. Abstract painting is still, after all, a mode of expression like any other, and the most successful abstract artists are those who know how to most effectively exercise that expression.
Don't use the supposed 'freewheeling' practice of abstract painting to serve as your excuse to neglect such vital areas as perspective, plasticity, colour theory, composition, shade and three-dimensionality. In fact, abstract painting is at its best when it brilliantly combines artistic and expressive skills with more technical ones.
5. If you're intimidated by painting, start with scribble drawings
Those who are more accustomed to painting more obviously figurative or 'representational' scenes of reality – or who rarely apply paint to a surface at all – can understandably feel overwhelmed by the task before them of embarking on an abstract painting.
If that describes you, a good way to free yourself from those old constraints of 'reality' is to start with some simple scribbles on paper. Notice just how complicated and fascinating your artistic creations can be when you are simply spontaneous, un-self-conscious and refuse to stop moving the pen or pencil, including the shapes, divisions and other marks that you make.
It's all about creating your way to a new way of thinking, rather than trying to think your way to a new way of creating.
6. There's nothing 'easy' about abstract painting
You might think that abstract painting is a 'soft' and not exactly demanding form of painting, but this is a perception that really should be dispelled.
The creation of an abstract painting actually requires a lot from you. After all, you don't have the support of details from reality to help you through every single brush stroke or compositional decision – it really does demand the utmost expressiveness and personal initiative.
You have to hunt out all of the elements that will make up your abstract painting for yourself – including from your imagination, knowledge and experience. Abstract painting doesn't merely allow you to decide everything for yourself – it requires you to do so.
As an abstract painter myself, I appreciate everything that this very distinctive form of creativity represents, no matter what the detractors may say. What are your own thoughts on the discipline of abstract painting, and what have been your own discoveries from trying it for yourself?

Micah Herndon's body started to give out as he approached the finish line at the Boston Marathon last year, forcing him to crawl across the finish on his hands and knees.
Now, nearly one year later, the Marine veteran is ready to give it another go.
Herndon announced on Twitter on Friday that he will compete in the Boston Marathon on April 20 with a single word: "Redemption."
Redemption.— Micah herndon (@HerndonMicah) January 10, 2020
100 days.
😤💪🏻👊🏻🇺🇸#ballardhamerjuarez#runnershighcombatsptsd pic.twitter.com/6BJ482HPl2
Herndon finished the marathon last year in three hours and 38 minutes, his first ever marathon attempt. He ran the New York City Marathon in November slightly faster, completing the trek through the boroughs in three hours and five minutes.
Though finishing the nearly 26.3-mile race while crawling is inspiring on its own — a video of his finish quickly went viral on social media — Herndon's story made it even more so.
How badly do you want it? #BostonMarathon pic.twitter.com/EYo7liqM5Q— Dana Giordano (@dana_gio6) April 15, 2019
Herndon was injured during an improvised explosive device attack during his tour in Afghanistan in 2010. He runs now to help cope with post-traumatic stress disorder from his time in Afghanistan, and to honor two of his best friends, Mark Juarez and Matthew Ballard, and British journalist Rupert Hamer, who all died in the attack.
Herndon, who used the hashtag "#ballardhamerjuarez" when announcing his return to the marathon, repeats their last names while he runs, too.
"I run in honor of them," Herndon said last year. "They are not here anymore. I am here, and I am able. I am lucky to still have all my limbs. I can still be active. I find fuel in the simple idea that I can run. Some cannot.
"I feel like if I am not running, then I am doing something wrong with my life. If I get a heat cramp while running or my feet hurt or I am getting exhausted, I just keep saying their names out loud to myself. They went through so much worse, so I run for them and their families."

Once again, a season finale has delivered a touch of drama where I least expected it. I thought for sure Matt was the anointed winner, the Golden Child of Top Design. But near the end, there... I wondered if maybe Carisa's bold, energetic design might snake the win from Matt's classy, yet boring loft.
I mean, honestly, this is where the magic happens in Matt-land. Woo hoo.
I was close, but thoroughly wrong, about the final challenge. Instead of designing a space for each other, they're to design a space for themselves. The final test is how well they convert a gorgeous 1700-square-foot loft into a place they'd like to live, work, do whatever it is Matt might or might not do in that sterile bedroom, etc. Already, I have a pretty good idea how things will look.
Their budget for this project? $162,000. The prize for winning Top Design? $100,000. Am I the only one who finds that a little... lopsided? What I'm not sure of is how they both manage to go over budget. Carisa grumbles for a minute but takes out $18,000 worth of tchotchkes. Matt, however, seems pained by having to reduce his stuff. "But I like it all," he mourns. "These are the breaks!" Kurtis Blow counters.
This episode gives Carisa a chance to do a little image-doctoring. Mind you, I've never thought she was vile or horrible, just kind of immature and caught up in her own drama. And she doesn't disappoint in that latter category; when her laborers are pondering the amount of brute force it will take to get her drywall panels up the fire escape ('cause they won't fit in the freight elevator), Carisa doesn't offer to help, she pouts about how frustrating the situation is. And while that's understandable, it doesn't do anything to improve the situation or endear her to the team that can make or break her.
She also makes a point of assuring us all that she loves Carl, and he does greet her fondly, so maybe theirs was more of an affectionate-squabbling kind of relationship. I'm not quite sure I buy her assertion that she wants to win the competition so Carl can get the $10K carpenter's prize, though. That's the trick to selling the bullshit: selling it in bite-sized pieces.
(That outfit of hers is killing me.) Writing on his Bravo blog, Todd Oldham proves, once again, that he's simply too good for this ugly, dirty world. "I love Carisa. She is such a smart, intuitive designer with a sophisticated approach and never an ounce of pretension, the bete noir of most design efforts. It seems to me that the viewers were presented with a little more tense Carisa than the funny delight I know. Honestly, I don't know why there wasn't an actual murder considering the pressure cooker environment." Todd is easily the thing I'll miss most about Top Design. (Adopt me, Todd! We'll go on nature walks and antique runs; you can help me remodel the house. You'll just love J and your little furry grandkids. You won't regret it!)
Interestingly, we see a slightly nasty side of Matt this time around. He clearly believes that he's light years beyond Carisa, and while I think he's very good at what he does, I'm starting to think that Carisa's just as good at what she does, and by the time she's his age, with 10 more years' experience and (hopefully) more maturity, she might be light years beyond Matt right now. I don't think this has ever occurred to Matt, though. For that matter, I'm not sure Matt deserves his saintly carpenter, Ed. Ed reminds me of about four different guys I've worked with: a little off-beat, but cheerful, hardworking, big on praising and encouraging their colleagues. Lovely dudes. Matt should've brought Ed doughnuts every morning -- or at least asked how his thumb was doing after its table-saw run-in. And perhaps Matt does do all this; but we never see it.
The designs themselves are very true to what we've seen all season from these two. But I found Carisa's to have a few delightful surprises and Matt's to have no surprises at all. Here are the shots from Matt's loft:
The door on the left is the front door to the apartment.
This is the view from the door, I think.
Here's the hall.
Living room.
Sleep chamber.
Here's a room Matt built out for his 4 1/2-year-old daughter.
Daughter's sleep compartment.
Bathroom -- my favorite room in the whole loft.
See, it's all very nice, very clean and orderly and well-put-together, I just don't get much of a feeling of comfort or warmth from it. Throughout the season, much has been made about how "expensive" Matt's rooms look, and this place definitely looks expensive, but I wonder how valid of a quality that truly is. If something looks like it cost a lot of money, but doesn't look terribly inviting or delightful, has it really achieved anything?
Carisa's loft might not look like as much money was involved, but it does look inviting and warm to me. She's hitting the black and white like they owe her money, but here it actually works, punched up by the occasional vivid color and used in proportions that make the black-and-white look like a bold graphic choice rather than the two safest possible neutrals.
The front room.
The view from the door.
Living room.
Dining room.
More office. (Who knew she loved ping-pong?)
Bedroom -- my favorite part of Carisa's loft.
Bathroom. (I have no idea how that mirror is supposed to work. I'd probably attack it with a hammer in my first week of living here.)
Honestly, neither loft really suits my style. They both look like a royal pain to keep clean, between Carisa's white furniture and black floors and Matt's love of Lucite and glass. On the one hand, Carisa cribbed Goil's inset bed from the dorm challenge and Andrea's chairs from the chef's table challenge (as well as her own air vents from the hotel room challenge). On the other hand, Matt had no real innovation (borrowed or otherwise) in his space, just a lot of pretty tastefulness.
On a side note, what the hell was up with having Trudie Styler as a guest judge? This is exactly like the first season finale of Project Runway, where Parker Posey was apparently randomly pulled from a red-carpet event to judge the finale. "Here, you're famous! Come judge an aesthetic competition!" And did she always look like this? I seem to recall her features looking a lot different in the 1980s. Oh, but didn't we all.
It seemed like the judges had a tough time discerning which was truly the top design. For a second there, I thought they were actually going to award it to Carisa. But no, it went to Matt, and Carisa herself said she was happy with that outcome because losing to her would have devatastated Matt, but she's quite happy to lose to him.
So everybody wins, but especially the reedy, giant Matt (look at him -- even slouching, he's a foot taller than all the judges) who tells the camera that it couldn't possibly have happened any other way. Nice. And so it ends. I don't know if there will be a second season of Top Design, but I'll probably watch it if there is. I mean, come on, I'm gonna watch Shear Genius, fer chrissakes.

Prosecuting Evil // Hot Docs for Continuing Professional Education
Law, Justice, Human Rights, Nuremberg Trials and the Holocaust
About the film
After the Holocaust camps were liberated, Ferencz became a lead prosecutor at the Nuremberg war crimes trials. He prosecuted 22 Einsatzgruppen Nazis responsible for murdering over a million Jews. Called the biggest murder trial in history, Ferencz was only 27, and it was his first case. He would go on to advocate to advocate for restitution for Jewish victims of the holocaust and later the establishment of the International Criminal Court. His fight for justice for victims of atrocity crimes continues today. Prosecuting Evil explores Ferencz's anthem to the world underscored by a simple message: "We must live in a world where the rule of law replaces the rule of force."
Followed by an expert panel discussion about how the Nazi philosophy of law—emanating from racial ideology—perverted Germany's legal system, as well as the role of international law in bringing the perpetrators to justice and constructing a system of international human rights aimed at preventing history from repeating itself. The panel will also touch on ways to counter the current rise of populism, anti-Semitism, and racism in Canada and around the world.
Speakers will be announced shortly.

State House is the official residence of the President of Kenya. It was the residence of the Prime Minister of Kenya from independence until Kenya (12 Dec 1963) transformed into a republic (12 Dec 1964). As the Prime Minister's position was abolished, it has been the official residence of the president since then.
Before the construction of Government House in Nairobi, the first Governor's residence was at Government House, Mombasa, constructed in 1879. Government House in Nairobi, now State House, was built in 1907 in Nairobi to serve as the official residence of the Governor of British East Africa, when Kenya was a colony within the British Empire. The Governor would conduct his official functions at the old Provincial Commissioner's office (now a national monument) next to Nyayo House and then retire to Government House for the day.[1] It was designed by the British architect Sir Herbert Baker.
After independence, Government House was renamed State House. Although it remained the official residence of the Head of State, in practice it became an administrative or operational office occasionally providing accommodation to visiting state guests and receptions on National Days. This scenario has prevailed to-date with the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and President Moi preferring private residences as opposed to living in State House.
Other residences
State House in Nairobi stands on a 3-square-kilometre (300 ha; 740-acre) piece of land. It is a 10-minute drive from the city centre. Other than the Nairobi one, there are other State Houses in Mombasa and Nakuru.[1]
There are state lodges in Githurai 44 and 45, Eldoret, Sagana, Kisumu and Kakamega. They are scattered around the country to provide accommodation to the president whenever he is touring various parts of the country.[1]
President Uhuru Kenyatta once met Somali Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon in Sagana State Lodge, which is said to be Kenya's own version of Chequers in Buckinghamshire or Camp David in Maryland. The president has been said to be shifting key presidential functions to stations outside Nairobi.[2] He also prefers the Mombasa State House where he often spends weeks at a time, usually official duties as well as holidays.

I just whipped that up today when I was listening to the record...it's just a copy of the cover. No brilliance on my part, just meditation.
Thinking of VanDyke gets me thinking of Smile and that period and how Mike was demanding an explanation of the meaning of lyrics and all that and how ridiculous that sounds to us today (or, at least it seems like it should...) We wouldn't have bands like Wilco and Jeff Tweedy's lovely weird lyrics today if there was some standard that things had to make sense...So thankful for these two (BW and VDP)

Interesting Trends Of Food Franchises
As you all know, franchises rarely get the credits for setting a trend. But when they do that, it's a guarantee to be on the top notch and go to nationwide.
Numerous restaurant franchises believe to be the most considerate in trends in the food industry. Some of them focus on the new menus times, and others focusing on the new ways to serve food to their customers. All of the restaurant franchises are dedicated to stay relevant by incorporating the new developments into their new businesses.
Here are some trends that food franchises are considering nowadays:
- Transparent food prep: The method of preparing food and everything in front of the customers like in Subway, they do it in front of you. The method allows freezing ice cream in front of the customers, this trend really attract people and hike the business.
- Single Ingredient Concept: This is a tough challenge, tho people like to take it and do it. A lot of people are now taking this concept of single ingredient concepts, but some people don't execute this concept. People talks about single ingredient concept in a surprising way, though "Pizza" is also a single concept too and people love to eat it, it's almost the first choice for food lovers.
- Grab-and-go: The easiest and hot trend grab-and-go for the customers by the restaurant franchises. In today's fast life, people prefer to just go into the restaurant and take away the food at the moment and leave. So this trend of grab-and-go by restaurant franchises don't let their customers to wait long for their food. It's a really hot and hiking trend.
- Health regulation: There's lots of health regulations on health and calories, but the food sector or restaurants are not afraid of them because this is the concept that emphasizes the indulgence and it's not something that people eat in their everyday life.
- Exceptional Innovation: So many weird things are going on like weird concept of restaurants so there's a need of the innovators for the exceptional innovation concept and right now restaurant franchises are focusing on the innovation like to take on a theme based restaurant and so. This trend is happening in most of the restaurants to make them special, unique and attractive for the customers.

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – On Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, a Navy sailor who died on that fateful day was given a proper burial at DFW National Cemetery — 77 years later.
It was 77 years ago Friday that the Japanese carried out a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, and more than 2,400 Americans were killed. Among those killed was Albert Kane of Fort Worth.
In August of this year, the family received word that his remains had been identified. Friday is a day the family thought they'd never see.
Kane joined the Navy at age 25 and was single with no children. Fourteen months later, he was on the USS Oklahoma when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941.
Kane's family shared telegrams that were sent from the Navy decades ago, informing them he was missing. A year later, he was officially declared lost.
When the Navy began a new effort to identify Pearl Harbor remains, Kane's nephews provided DNA. The sailor was eventually identified and returned home.
All of Kane's living family never got to meet him, but they wanted to honor him.
He was buried at DFW National Cemetery Friday morning.
