The claim is made by the pro-vice-chancellor of York University, whose own institute was commissioned by the government in 1999 to review all the evidence.
Prof Trevor Sheldon accuses the government of "one-sided handling of the evidence" that his university gathered for the Department of Health. The Department used the evidence "selectively. . .to give an over-optimistic assessment of the evidence in favour of fluoridation," he says.
The York researchers discovered very little evidence to suggest that fluoride in the water supply is beneficial to our teeth. The rate of dental caries has dropped dramatically both in countries that have added fluoride, such as Germany and Portugal, and those which have not, such as Austria and Sweden.
Ireland, which has fluoridated its water, has one of the highest rates of tooth decay in Europe. One study found that three out of four children in Ireland have tooth decay by the time they reach the age of 15.
The York researchers couldn't find enough evidence to suggest either that fluoridation is safe or dangerous. Campaigners against fluoridation have claimed it can cause bladder cancer and fractures. However, it's wrong for any government to claim that fluoridation is "absolutely safe", either, he says.
Despite the lack of evidence for some of the more serious health claims, it is indisputable that fluoride can cause fluorosis, a disease that damages the enamel of the tooth. The American Dental Association has warned mothers of babies and toddlers not to prepare solids with fluoridated water as it may be bad for the development of the child's teeth.
Perhaps Prof Sheldon shouldn't be so surprised by the government's partiality. Until last year it was funding the British Fluoridation Society!

The Decision Georgia's Offense Must Make Today
Bottom line, at some point Georgia will need to win a game with its passing attack. To date, that hasn't been the case and accordingly I can't fault Hutson Mason for any perceived shortcomings. Try as you may, you can't pin the South Carolina loss on him. You can't pin any other shortcoming on him either because Georgia's offense has been brilliant—and though folks may hate to admit it, that's been by design.
Today, Georgia has a choice. Vanderbilt can be beaten in a variety of ways. What's better: An easy win with reliance on the ground game? Or, an emphasis on developing the passing game?
I wrote about this at length here, but what would you like to see?
That's all I got/

AUGUSTA — It appeared all 1,200 residents of Vinalhaven Island made the trip to the Augusta Civic Center on Saturday to watch their basketball team play in the Class D South girls championship game.
They were rewarded handsomely as the second-seeded Vikings knocked off No. 5 Forest Hills, 61-45, for their first regional title in 34 years.
"It's huge having everyone on our backs supporting us," said Vinalhaven junior Gilleyanne Davis-Oakes, who won the Patricia Gallagher award as the tournament's outstanding player.
Vinalhaven (17-4) will face North regional champ Shead in the Class D state championship game Saturday at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor. Forest Hills finishes its season at 12-9.
Few expected the Tigers to reach the final this season. They lost coach Jill Demanski at the end of the season when her husband's employment took them out of state, so boys coach and athletic director Anthony Amero took over and guided them to an upset of top-seeded Rangeley.
"I told the girls after the game 'it's about the program'," Amero said. "Last year they lost in the quarterfinal and we were a higher-seeded team and probably had a more talented roster. This year they came in with a less-talented roster so they did a great job for the girls basketball program."
The Tigers double-teamed Davis-Oakes in the low post in the first quarter and held her to two points. Her teammates, led by Paige Dennison, took up the slack as they raced to a 14-2 lead.
"We were expecting their double-team," Davis-Oakes said. "But I have confidence in my teammates."
Davis-Oakes finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds while Ashlyn Littlefield scored 18 points and Dennison 11. The Vikings led from start to finish but broke the game open with a 14-0 run early in the second half that was predicated on their fastbreak and pushed the lead to 43-16.
"We really wanted to win," said Littlefield, who slipped free for three fast-break layups during the run.
Forest Hills drew big games from seniors Caitlin Logston and Patricia Lessard (10 points, seven rebounds). Logston, who entered the game 28 points shy of 1,000 for her career, finished with 24 points and 14 rebounds.
"She's a great player, a great kid," Amero said. "You just want to see them go as far as they can because they're such a great group of young ladies."
The Tigers trailed 46-20 entering the fourth quarter but made things interesting by connecting on six 3-pointers, three of those from Logston.
"I think when we thought it was out of reach it was 'where do we go to have some fun,' " Amero said. "I've been on both ends over the years. When you haven't been in that final before you come out and you're real nervous those first two minutes and that sealed our fate early."
Vinalhaven lost in the regional final to eventual state champ Rangeley last year and was determined to erase that memory.
"Vinalhaven loves their basketball," coach Sandy Nelson said. "I've discovered that in the little I've been there."
Nelson taught and coached in Massachusetts for 34 years, winning a state Class B title in 1999. After retirement, she returned to the island where she was born.
"I came back to Vinalhaven and this opportunity arose and I said 'well maybe I'll do this,' and we all just got on the same page."

Fall Wedding Etiquette Tips Guests Should Keep in Mind
Read this before attending those upcoming autumnal nuptials.
As summer comes to a close, it's important to remember that fall wedding season is right around the corner. That means it's time to brush up on your seasonal wedding etiquette if you'll soon be a guest. Though you may understand what it takes to be a great guest during the spring and summer months, you'll want to take heed of important rules associated with fall nuptials before you actually RSVP. To help you understand the ins-and-outs of fall wedding decorum, we spoke to two seasoned pros about all the dos and don'ts. From appropriate attire to respectful use of social media, below are five things planners definitely want you to know before you go.
Don't Be Late
"Guests should never be late to a wedding, especially for one that's held in the fall," says Teal Nicholson, creative director of LLG, an international event management and design firm specializing in luxury destination weddings. Since daylight hours are shorter during this time of year, Nicholson warns that you never want to be the reason why something is held up. If one part of the day gets pushed back because of late-arriving guests, she explains that the couple may run out of natural light for other important components.
Dress Appropriately
"Guests should also dress appropriately for a fall wedding," Nicholson says. "Fall weddings can be warm during the day. but cooler at night, making it important to bring a shawl or bolero."
Don't Dine and Dash
"There's nothing more rude than a guest attending a wedding only to drink and eat, then leave before the events have happened," says wedding planner Amy McCord Jones. If you cannot attend the entire evening's events, she says it's best to politely decline in your RSVP or let the couple know that you can only participate in the ceremony.
Don't Post First on Social Media
"Couples are often disappointed when the first image posted to their social media page is an unflattering one," McCord Jones says. Just as one would not post a picture of a newborn before the parent, she says it's best to let the bride and groom release a wedding image of themselves first.
Always Be Present
You can subtly check your phone or chat with friends or family, but when toasts, cake-cutting, or other wedding events are taking place, you need to lend your attention," McCord Jones explains. "As a wedding planner, far too often, I see only the mothers and sisters paying attention while everyone else is engrossed in their phone or talking," she says.

Every Thursday, trying to find topics on the forum, but the forum's been quiet again, so I'm waffling quite a bit instead. If you want to see less of my general insanity, you're just going to have to post more content on the forum so that I've got a little bit more to write about, next week!
; Hello World
I think I might be releasing that JNKPool game, soon.
.. Yeah, I know, right..
For the past couple of weeks I've been working on adding the thing to the Shoebox of Games, and it's actually coming along pretty well.
The engine's still not 100%, and those damn pockets keep being slightly dodgy, but it's at least up to the point where I can knock the balls around and it doesn't completely and totally glitch out to insanity-ball city!
I still need to add .. um.. ALL the gameplay!
The game's rules aren't implemented, so no fouls, no scoring, no next player. Just pot the balls and have some fun!
The AI is currently at about 1%. It can aim directly for the next ball, but ignores any other balls in the way, and doesn't aim to pocket the ball, just hit it!!
The "Ball in Hand" : You can't move the cue ball there, because there's another ball already there, and it'll cause epic-glitching if you do" issue also needs to be looked into.
But.. I'm a heck of a lot closer than I was last week, when the balls would mysteriously float over the top of the middle pockets because the game only checked the balls were outside the table's boundary, and the pocket slightly overlaps the inside of the table!!
Although they do still occasionally do that.
Daaamn, this has been a hard game to get working right.
And the physics aren't even half decent, either, by the way.
There's no spin on the balls, other than a graphical "the balls occasionally randomly spin around for seemingly no reason"
But with every hour of tweaking, it's getting a teensy bit closer to being done.
Hopefully soon!!
; GOHobo decides to give GO a try.
With the ability to quickly and easily recompile for various targets, is it perhaps the language that Jay should've tried to use, instead of attempting to do everything in C++ a few years ago!?
Either way, it looks nice and simple to get things compiled, and Hobo seems to think that getting a basic OpenGL test going is fairly easy, too.
; 3D Western?Zzoom is going to be attempting a "chunky 3D pixels" reproduction of the age-old "Two gunfighters" game "Boothill", using Blitz3D.
Why not head on in and give him tips on creating such an engine!
; End of the C64 Handheld?Spinal's had nothing but trouble with his Touchscreen, and now it's completely failed on him.
Disheartened by the whole experience, and unsure of how to get around the complications, he's decided to call it a day.
Bonus Waffle
Last week, @TheMikeDX assured me that all of the important fixes will come, so I ploughed ahead with my Fuze Framework.
Unfortunately, there's apparently no easy way to use one tool to draw sprites then import them specifically into "that game's" framework.
One easy way would be file access, but.. No, they've made that overly complicated, and or overly simplified. You have one single file per project, it has no name (!!?) and you definitely can't grab a file from one project and plop it into another.
Another way would be to have the sprite editor compile the sprites into a string of data, copy that to the clipboard, then paste that into your code.
.. But, no, that doesn't work either, since there's apparently no clipboard access.
Instead, I opted to try to code the sprite editor directly inside the framework. Like, literally part of the game!!
Start game, Hit "J" on the keyboard, up pops the editor.
Save works.
Game can load the save.
All is golden.
And then it struck me.
With all the "Not quite right" things that Fuze has done wrong...?
I asked MikeDX
"Actually ... When I open() write() a file...
.. ... That file DOES get shared when I share the game, right?!"
He replied with..
"i don't know but i know who to ask! leave that one with me"
And I haven't heard back, since.
So, I took that to mean "probably not", and wondered how else I could save and load sprites and other such data in a shareable way, directly within my project.
At this point, I left the framework as it was, and instead headed back on over to Javascript.
I've now started to write a simple Sprite Editor that runs in the browser, can be used to draw 16x16 or 32x32 sprites (I may add more, we'll see), and when necessary "saving", outputs the sprites as lines of simple ASCII that can be typed.. character by character.. back into Fuze.
.. Yeah, I know..!!
I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to compress that data, so that 95% of my gamedev time isn't spent copying lines of data statements like something out of the 80s.

Synthetic Biology of RNA
RNA is a ubiquitous molecule of life that plays intimate roles in how cells function and make decisions. These same properties can be harnessed to create a new generation of engineering tools to further interrogate the properties of biology and control how cells behave. The RNA synthetic biology group aims to better understand the roles RNA plays in biology and to exploit these roles to improve how we study, diagnose, and treat infectious diseases in humans.

There must be something in the water in Canon City, because every year the outstanding citizens inducted into the PCC Fremont Hall of Fame have an almost superhuman list of accomplishments and community milestones.
The 12th annual Fremont Hall of Fame induction ceremony this year was no exception. Three citizens whose civic commitment has greatly enriched the Fremont and Custer County communities were honored:
Dr. Lana Carter is dean emeritus of PCC's Fremont campus. Prior to beginning her PCC career, Carter worked as an expert advisor to the U.S. Departments of Defense and Justice concerning their studies about the psychological impact of terrorism. Her career in higher education began in 1999 as a psychology faculty member and department chair at PCC's Pueblo campus. In addition, she served as dean of arts and sciences, executive dean and chief academic officer before becoming leader of the Fremont campus in 2013. During Dr. Carter's tenure, the campus saw several major renovations and developed strong community partnerships.
Char Lindner taught middle school physical education in Canon City for 32 years. Through the Rotary Club, Lindner used her love of photography to create the Let There Be Light Scholarship for first-generation Canon City High School graduates, raising tens of thousands of dollars. She is active in church and many community activities. As her son and daughter fondly noted in introducing her, Char has friends and acquaintances across the nation and people remember her as someone who has made a special difference in their lives. Her efforts have resulted in more than $124,000 in scholarship funds.
Brendan Pardue started his career as a coach and teacher in the 1980s, then had a distinguished 25-year career with the Department of Corrections, where he worked in housing, security, education and recreation. He also taught psychology, history and philosophy classes at PCC from 1993-1995 and spent several years working in the mental health field. Over the past 36 years, Pardue has restored 12 historic properties, most recently the Gibson Mansion in Cañon City. He has offered free use of the property to nonprofit organizations for fundraisers and other events. He also provides accommodations for visiting dignitaries, artists and athletes. He is involved in many community civic- and art-related activities and is an actor and board member of the Fremont Civic Theater.
And it's all to benefit the students of PCC, who also have extraordinary accomplishments to their credit. Jessica Tracy (who gave a heartfelt speech about her journey to fulfill her dream of becoming a nurse) and other Newmont Mining scholars Michelle Bauer, Rachel Bauer, Stacy Sanders and Paul Wilde were recognized. Other scholarship recipients benefiting from the Fremont Hall of Fame proceeds include Tiffany Clements, Christian Lesea and Karah Pruvost. They are the next generation who will undoubtedly some day be at the podium bringing their own superhuman accomplishments.

Last Updated on Tuesday, 30 November 1999 05:00 Written by Administrator Thursday, 13 June 2013 11:42Karachi The local cotton markets witnessed moderate buying, as the demand for the commodity from spinning mills remained low, a dealer said on Wednesday.
"Spinning mills are buying cotton as per their needs," Naseem Usman, a broker at the Karachi Cotton Exchange (KCE), said. "Mills are not building long-term positions these days as they are waiting for arrival of new crop to the markets."
A few of the spinning mills are reported to have bought new cotton crop in future deals but majority of the mills are still waiting for the crop, he said.Traders exchanged 3,200 bales at Rs5,900 to Rs6,700 per maund as compared to 5,300 bales traded at Rs5,800 to Rs6,800 per maund a day ago, the KCE reported.
Accordingly, Sadiqabad traded 1,400 bales at Rs6,700 per maund; Ahmed Pur traded 1,000 bales at Rs6,700 per maund; and Sanghar, Mehrab Pur, Rajan Pur, and Bahawalpur traded 200 bales each at Rs5,900 to Rs6,700 per maund, it said.Meanwhile, the KCE kept its cotton spot (average) rate unchanged for the second consecutive working day at Rs6,500 per maund.

Chilean mine SWRO gets environmental approval
An environmental impact study (EIS) for a 26,000 m³/d desalination plant for a mining operation in northern Chile is reported to have been approved by the regional office of the Ministerio del Medio Ambiente (environment ministry).BNamericas reported on 11 July 2011 that Chilean mining company Minera Candelaria's EIS for a US$ 270 million desalination plant to supply its operations in Northern Region III had received approval.
Spanish company Aqualia was awarded a contract worth about € 17 million to design and supply seawater reverse-osmosis equipment for the plant in 2010, its first work in Chile.
The plant could be expanded to 43,000 m³/d at a later date. Owners Freeport- McMoRan Copper & Gold claim that the Candelaria mine is now a leader in water conservation, recovery and recycling in all processes.

It is tall, and once had a single tree on it. During the events of Mount Misery, it erupted which resulted in it having Reggie's face accidentally carved into it.
In Season 2, it has a Heinous' face on it and an elevator to get to the top.

Thanks Reihaisha! ;-)
Basically I enjoy going out for a stroll in the snow, with flurries and a wind chill factor. ;-)
But the thought of food being cooked brought me back. ;-)

text: I found a lovely black and white cotton fabric from Eurokangas a while ago. Ofcourse I needed an excuse to buy it and at the time I didn't have any skirts with this length in my wardrobe. Pleats please…and here it is. I didn't use any patterns, just pinned on a dress form and sewn by hand and finished with sewing machine. So easy and quick to make with a rubber band on waist line, which makes it more comfortable too.

Yes, I have coronavirus, Echuca woman saysBy Ivy Jensen
JUDY Magdziarz has a message for the people of Echuca-Moama.
Yes, I have tested positive for coronavirus.
Yes, I did go shopping in town.
But no, none of you seem to understand why I was doing that.
The Echuca woman and her daughter Summar sailed on the Ovation of the Sea Caribbean Cruise from March 12-18 and between a storm at New Caledonia and New Zealand closing its borders, the ship's only landfall was departure and arrival at Sydney.
As all passengers disembarked, they were told by the ship's captain that as they had not visited anywhere they would not need to go into isolation.
So the 68-year-old flew back to Melbourne and stayed overnight at an airport hotel before driving to Echuca on Thursday last week.
On Thursday, March 19, Judy went to Aldi to get some groceries about 2pm and on Friday, March 20, she went to Bunnings about 9.30am and Coles about 10.30am.
Judy then received an email on Saturday, March 21, confirming a Canadian passenger on the cruise tested positive to COVID-19.
"By then, I was going to get tested because I had a bit of a cough, sore shoulders and aching hands," she said.
Judy went to Echuca Regional Health on Saturday where she was tested for the virus.
"I did the right thing and stayed isolated until I got the diagnosis yesterday (Monday)," she said.
"I have been living in my motorhome at the back of my property because there are builders in my house. I have stayed my distance, but I believe they are now worried they are going to get it. I understand they're scared but I am nowhere near them.
"I have let everyone I had contact with know about my diagnosis."
Minutes after the Riv posted a story about our second positive test, people opened fire on social media and started accusing the family of doing the wrong thing, not adhering to the COVID-19 restrictions and worse.
"Someone has gone out and told people it was me. That was my privacy," she said.
"It's a small town I guess and word spreads quickly. But people started saying things that were untrue and saying it was my daughter Summar who had the virus.
"She's been vilified. People need to get their facts straight before they start bullying and calling her and making her life a misery.
"This is scaremongering and we won't be bullied."
Judy said Summar had taken her children out of school as soon as she arrived home and had been self isolating ever since.
She said her daughter asked to be tested but was told that would only be necessary if she exhibited symptoms.
As for Judy, she will spend at least the next two weeks in isolation before being tested again.
Which is fine by her.
"I'm feeling really good at the moment," she said.
"My temperature is normal and so is my blood pressure.
"I'm in a beautiful spot and have enough books and DVDs to keep me entertained and I enjoy digging in the garden. It's like heaven."

David is going back to college. There. I've said it.
Two days before Michael's chest pains, which sent us to the pediatrician ... which was the start of discovering Michael's pneumonia, David was fired from his job. It came as quite a shock. Essentially, he had processed someone's request for prescription assistance that should not have gone through, due to a few technicalities. I personally believe that lives were preserved as a result of what David had done, but someone else didn't see it that way. After he was let go from his job, we all prayed for the people who would not be getting some much needed medicine. I hope they are still alive. And that's all I'll say about the reason why David got fired. Anyway, as a result of the whys, we have not been able to get "unemployment." David had built up a 401K over the years, and we've been living off of that. Prior to his change in employment status, he had begun looking for a new job. Something closer to home, but within the same pay range. Nothing was available, unless he was willing to take a major pay cut. Then without much warning, the bottom dropped out.
Because of Michael's bout with pneumonia, and the hospital stay that ensued, we didn't really deal with David's job situation right away. Besides, as David awaited his own surgery, he was in a lot of pain physically. It took until weeks after his surgery for the pain to begin to subside. Thankfully, the cyst the doctor removed turned out to be benign. In the midst of all these medical expenses, it was chaotic concerning our COBRA benefits kicking in. Let me back up a bit. The very next day after David was fired, he contacted the company's benefits coordinator to ensure they were well aware we planned to pay for COBRA, that we needed to continue our medical insurance. He inquired about the costs and how to sign up and everything. The person he spoke to was very helpful and courteous. They gave him the requested info, and helped again later when some paperwork was delayed in coming. Our coverage that "ended" January 31, wasn't really over. All our bills had to be paid retroactively, back to February 1 after all the paperwork was sent, responded to, paid, etc. Like I said, it was a little chaotic. We are currently paid up through the end of June for COBRA. It has cost us about $6400.00. Worried about other bills too, we have paid all our utilities and car insurance through the end of July. I've lived without utilities before, and it is not pleasant.
Anyway, while Michael was in the hospital, David came to realize he was going to need to go into a new career field. He didn't say anything to me about it until after his surgery had been done and my mother had gone back home from her coming to help us out during and after Michael's hospital stay. (BTW, David's ability to stay with Michael during his hospital stay - not having to go into work each day - was a blessing in disguise. We were worried to leave him there all by himself at any time, so having David there all the time allowed for me to drive home quick and collect clean clothes or whatever we found any of us needed from home, including all of Michael's toys, "the guys.") Ironically, what David is planning to go into, I jokingly suggested one day while we were sitting in Michael's hospital room. David brushed it off, but later told me that was exactly what he was feeling drawn to for a new career. Here's a clue.
After telling me what his plans were, he began in earnest looking into colleges accredited to give him the training he would need to qualify for the job. One was an online school which wanted far too much money for their degree program. The other option was our local community college. The more he researched it, the better the local college looked. He would get discounts as an in-state student, and even more so for living in the area, and not having travelled in from outside the area. There are a few prerequisites he has to fulfill, due to the specific nature of the degree program, and due to the fact that he hasn't been in any chemistry classes in over 10 years. He is hopeful that some of the typical classes can be waived, and rightfully so, since the college's dean told him he may be able to apply previous college credits to some of the needed classes, ones that he's already taken. He has 2 Master's Degrees in other fields, in addition to a Bachelor's Degree. He was doing some post-grad work when we met, but left it before finishing.
He has already applied to the community college and signed up for the summer session classes. He'll be doing a maximum of 4 classes on 2 different campuses this summer. The one he is really hoping can be skipped is an evening class, about 4 hours per class. The days of his classes are Monday to Thursday, but at different times. Once everything is set for school and books are purchased, he will be prepared to look for some sort of part time job, even if it's only retail for now. They will have to offer flexible hours, that we know. Plus we know it's not forever, just for 2 years. His classes will be pretty much continuous beginning in about a month from now. There are classes he'll need to take over next summer too. The classes he would need to take this fall semester happen to be on the same days of the week still. This is good for us. Since I was able to increase my hours at the studio to work every Friday, open to close, and have income from it, I have asked for that. My boss has graciously granted my request. I will homeschool Michael Monday through Thursday, and Saturday after congregation. I will go to the studio on each Friday and Sunday, both days working open to close. David will be here with Michael on Fridays, and if I'm guessing correctly, the playtime he normally would have on Saturday will easily transfer to Friday.
Some might question why we just don't put Michael into public school, and have me work full time. First, we have one car. How could I get to work if David had taken the car to school? Second, besides having deep religious convictions about not sending our son to public school, even if we sent him to a private Christian school, who would be here when he got home from school? It just doesn't add up. Besides, without my having a college degree myself, my best hope to bring in big, fat paychecks would involve going out of the area if necessary (probably so), and working in other studios to get full time hours. That definitely requires my own car, and long hours. Michael could be sitting at home, all by himself, until nightfall. It just won't work.
Anyway, David's new career will require testing that can be administered at the college, after the program is completed. One level of the career requires additional testing, but this program prepares the graduate for either level of certification, or whatever you call it. David had researched the entry level income brackets, and suffice it to say, locally, the lowest end is about where he left off with his former employer, where getting a raise was very difficult. David thinks that he had gone as far as he could with that job, concerning raises, so something had to give. Just in case you still haven't figured it out, he's going to be a Respiratory Therapist.
Oh, one more thought. David has already applied for financial aid. For this summer session, it looks like we are on our own, but for the fall semester and forward, perhaps we'll get some help. I wished I could have gone to college myself, back when I was nearing the end of high school. It seemed every idea I came up with would not work out for one reason or another. I had dreamed of being a pediatrician, or a teacher. A few years out of high school, I wanted to go into nursing, but I had no money for that either. I thought about financial aid, but was told by several people I'd never qualify due to income levels of my relatives. At this point, I'd be thrilled to attend a school of photography. It's right up my alley. Maybe after David starts working as a Respiratory Therapist, we can afford to send me to college ... after Michael's tuition is paid, of course. (David said the income bracket around here, after you are in the field a while, is very good.)
Please excuse any typos. It's late, and I worked over 9 hours today.

NUKUALOFA, Tonga (Matangi Tonga, November 30) – Damage estimated at TOP85.53 million [US$42 million] dollars was incurred by Nuku'alofa businesses who were not insured against riots, while some 678 jobs had been lost, Tonga's Minister of Labour, Commerce and Industries stated today.
Reporting the results of an Assessment Survey of 144 businesses whose business premises were damaged during the November 16 riot, the minister, Hon. LIsiate 'Akolo, said that while the total estimated costs of damaged businesses amounted to TOP117,325,248 [US$57.5 million], only a few had insurance coverage for riots.
The report stated that 96 businesses or 75 percent were either not insured against riots, or not insured at all. Only eight businesses or 6 percent had riot coverage, while the rest were uncertain of their insurance status.
Of the 144 businesses damaged, 33 enterprises were owned by Chinese or naturalized Tongans of Chinese origin.
The minister pointed out that the millions of pa'anga property losses and 678 job losses would impact heavily on Tonga's future.
He said that 15 businesses had not provided information for the survey, and the survey did not include, "the cost of losses to other businesses whose premises were not damaged but are affected by the incident, and the value of imported inventory that are yet to be cleared by damaged businesses from the wharf."
The survey was made during consultative meetings with affected businesses between November 20-23. It also identified the significant immediate needs for the recovery of businesses. This included the need for assistance with insurance assessment, a reconstruction plan, wharf protection and security, ensuring a flow of food items and necessary stocks, assistance with clearance of containers currently at the wharf owned by companies made insolvent in the riot, safety and security of businesses, access to businesses within the proclaimed area, financial assistance and tax relief, and other things.
The Minister also said other needs were identified. "There is a need for government to consider the consequential distortions to the upcoming population census, and there is a need for government to consider hardship relief for employees who have lost their jobs due to the riot and the general public who will also be ultimately affected.
"These consequential job losses are predicted to significantly affect the future national employment rate, unemployment rate and the national labour force participation rate," Hon. Lisiate 'Akolo said.

To run or not to run? That is the question this time of year as revelers contemplate the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. The renowned centerpiece of the festival of San Fermin (patron saint of Navarra) takes place each day at 8:00 a.m. from July 7 to July 14. Runners (over the age of 18) must be in the running area by 7:30. The actual run stretches from the corral at Santo Domingo where the bulls are kept to the bullring where they will fight that same afternoon. Undoubtedly wishing to be spared a horn salute, the brave participants will first pray to the saint to guide them in their run, a mad dash that typically lasts three or four minutes. The most dangerous part of the bullrun is a closed curve leading into Calle Estafeta, the longest stretch. The last stretch is also very risky because it leads into a dead end street providing access to the bullring.

WARNING: Graphic images of dead whale below
The male juvenile mammal was discovered on Seilebost beach on Thursday morning, when a necropsy was carried out.
A whole range of plastics, including netting, bundles of rope, cups, bags, gloves, packing straps and tubing were discovered inside it, with experts claiming the items had been there for some time.
The Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme (SMASS) says it is investigating why the animal – which it claims "wasn't in particularly poor condition" – ended up with so much pollution inside it.
SMASS also says the items seemed to have come from both the land and fishing sectors – and could have been swallowed at any point between Norway and the Azores.
In a post on its Facebook page, it added: "Whilst it is certainly plausible that this amount of debris was a factor in its live stranding, we actually couldn't find evidence that this had impacted or obstructed the intestines.
"This amount of plastic in the stomach is nonetheless horrific, must have compromised digestion, and serves to demonstrate, yet again, the hazards that marine litter and lost or discarded fishing gear can cause to marine life.
"It is also perhaps a good example that this is a global issue caused by a whole host of human activities."
The group has revealed that by the time it reached the whale, it had been dead for 48 hours and that most of its guts blew out of its side when the necropsy was carried out.
SMASS has thanked members of the coastguard and the Western Isles council disposal team who helped with the necropsy and then bury the whale, which had to be done on site, as there was "no option to move a 20 tonne animal elsewhere".

Commenting on its Facebook post, one person called the death "absolutely tragic", adding: "Humans have an awful lot to answer for."
Another user added: "No matter how much we change our lifestyle now, there will be rubbish in the ocean for many years to come from past generations.
"How can we clean up the deep abysses where marine life goes and we can't? Man has a lot to answer for."
Melvin Nicholson said he was there with the coastguard when the "poor, gorgeous creature passed away".
He said: "I took a couple of photos including the one with a rainbow which I found quite poignant.
"Thank you to everybody concerned who dealt with the aftermath and for returning the beach to its usual pristine condition. Such a shame to see such a beautiful creature succumb in this way though".

Hallo! I am looking for any information on my family who are from Marggrabowa/Olecko.
My Great-Great Grandfather, Frederick J. Doran, was born Dec. 16th, 1880 in Königsberg. His parents were Wilhelm Doran & Anna Louise Schwenkler, who were married 2nd Apr. 1877 in Marggrabowa. I know nothing about the Doran family.
Anna Louise's parents were Friedrich Wilhelm Schwenkler & Dorothea Amalia Rau, who were married on 22 Oct. 1852. Friedrich's parents were Johann Schwenkler & Carolina Baldzeweit (variations include; Baldzieweit, Balczuweyt, & Ballenweyt)
I am especially curious as to the origins of the 'Baldzweit' name and finding out more about the Doran family…. Would love to find some distant cousins!
Danke sehr!

A year after Fitzgerald's resignation, Obama nominates Latham litigator for Illinois US attorney
Zachary Fardon, a Latham & Watkins partner who chairs its Chicago litigation department, was nominated Thursday to serve as the Northern District of Illinois U.S. attorney.
Previously a federal prosecutor who worked on the corruption trial of former Illinois governor George Ryan, Reuters and the Associated Press report, Fardon worked out of the Illinois and Tennessee U.S. attorneys' offices. He's a 1992 graduate of Vanderbilt University Law School.
President Barack Obama's nomination of Fardon must be confirmed by the full U.S. Senate. If confirmed, Fardon will replace Patrick Fitzgerald, who stepped down in June 2012. Since then, Gary Shapiro has served as the Northern District's acting U.S. attorney.
According to CBS Chicago, Fardon was one four candidates, all of whom were former federal prosecutors, that Illinois U.S. senators Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk sent the president for consideration.

I met Mayor Jonathan Rothschild at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible playground at Reid Park. The playground has ramps and plenty of shade.
Mayor Rothschild said his favorite part of this project was getting the funding to build it. He also enjoyed seeing all the kids having so much fun together.
The new playground is located near the DeMeester band shell. The old playground there was removed. The playground has an area for little kids and one for bigger kids too.
Make sure you check out the new park. I think it is the best park you will ever go to! There are new benches, new swings, musical instruments, climbing structures, a rope climber, a drinking fountain for people and one for pets too.
After the ribbon cutting, those of us that attended were treated to popsicles.

Recording your practice sessions is an absolute must if you want to hear your voice outside of yourself. What we hear while we are singing is quite different from what other people hear. Ever heard yourself on an answering machine or on a microphone? The first thing you notice is that you sound differently – some of us like what we hear, some of us don't. One thing is for sure – there will be a difference in your perception.
You will hear, not only a difference in the tone of your voice, but also the notes that you did not quite hit. While you're singing, it's important to feel the song at an emotional level. It will be very hard for anyone to analyze the voice and interpret the song with conviction at the same time. This is why you need to capture the moment and listen to it later for analysis.
When listening back to your recording, try to focus on just one or two things at a time. You don't want to be over-critical when listening to your voice or it might affect your confidence. Just make sure that the whole experience of singing then listening back is enjoyable every single time. Don't expect to sound flawlessly right away.
It's quite easy to get a good quality recording device for cheap or better yet, use your mobile phone. Iphone's recording quality is actually not that bad at all. If you don't have a mobile phone, get an old recorder from your local pawn shop or ebay.
Happy singing!


text: Most of us teach our bible study curriculum on Sunday mornings. There is nothing wrong with that. My question though is where does that teaching bring the focus of the members of your group to. It is it to Sunday or Monday? Many churches and small groups teach and minister in such a way to make sure that people think their lives are all about being at church and attending and nothing else. So everything they do and say is about coming to church and bringing others to church. There are good important things in that but our lives happen everyday of the week. Therefore truly effective teaching should help people focus on how they can live on Monday morning and beyond. We have to step out and realize that life is not just about coming to church but instead about being the church in our community each and everyday. We need to begin to live this out and then make sure that our teaching follows along accordingly. Then we will be able to see great transformation in our lives, the lives of those we teach, and in our community.

Can't you use a schema with assert?
Certain types of tables specify calculations. For example you might
have a table in which the first column is a range of a monetary
amount, the second column is a certain tax rate, the third column
another tax rate and the fourth yet another tax rate dependent on how
the money was earned.
an example

$100,000 - $150,000	18%	22%	45%

assuming reasonable headers and other table structure aside from that
example row.
Now what I would like is something that allowed one to specify the
calculations, separate from the table structure. Something like
<calc><input type="range" inttype="currency"
type="multiply" format="percentile">18</function><function
type="multiply" format="percentile">22</function><function
type="multiply" format="percentile">45</function></calc>
So it should have enough description in it that I can generate a
tabular view - such as in the fragment above of the html table, but
also enough that I could generate a form for the simple calculations
such a table represents.
From the examples I've seen of SASOUT it doesn't seem to do this - but
from my understanding of how it should work it might be possible to do
it but then if it is possible I would have to assume it would
extremely verbose and difficult - again given examples I've seen. So I
guess what I'm saying if you are going to say that SASOUT does this, I
am hoping for something other that SASOUT cause if that was my choice
I'd probably roll my own. :(

A medieval church at the summit of an industrial East Lancashire town.
The church of St Bartholomew, Colne, sits at the summit of the hill on which the town is built, at a height of 623 feet above sea level. It is not aligned precisely east-west, but so that the east end faces the point on the horizon where the sun rises on August 24th – St Bartholomew's Day. Records show that the church existed in 1122 when, in the reign of Henry I, Hugh de la Val granted it to the Priory of Pontefract.
The church comprises a nave with three aisles, a chancel, two chantry chapels, a west tower and a south porch. The oldest part of the building is the north arcade which dates from the early C13. It has cylindrical columns with moulded capitals and double chamfered arches. The south arcade is Perpendicular, probably of the C15, and has the usual octagonal columns. Of this date, or perhaps a little later, are the chancel arch, the three-bay arcades to the chantry chapels, the west tower, and the south porch.
The tower stands sixty two feet high. It has angle buttresses to the west, and battlements, but no pinnacles. The west face has a door and a three light window. On all sides are bell openings. These are more elaborate than in many North Lancashire church towers. The south west corner has a stair turret. As with other late Perpendicular towers in the area shields are positioned at various places. It is likely that the upper part of the structure dates from a restoration of 1515, and the battlements were certainly restored in 1912. The tower holds eight bells, six made by Mears of Whitechapel in 1814, and two by the same firm of 1900. Inside is a very tall tower arch, of a height more often seen in eastern and southern England.
The south porch is of the Perpendicular period. The entrance arch is quite rudimentary with two chamfered mouldings and plain imposts. Above the arch is a statuary niche, presumably once holding a figure of the patron saint. At the top of the gable is an unusual sundial. It is a square block on a square column, topped by a ball finial. The style suggests the C18.
The form of the east and west windows is typical Perpendicular panel tracery (heavily restored or replaced). Those of the south nave and chapel are mainly the square-headed type, with four semi-circular lights and hood moulds above. This style lasted into the C18 in the north of England.
Extensive restoration work was carried out around 1815. It was at this time that a group in the town pressed for the old church to be pulled down and a new building erected. Their views were strongly held and they had plans for a new church prepared. The restorers were so fearful of this group's intentions that they mounted a night-time guard until their work was complete!
The church is unusual in having two north aisles. In 1857 a new north aisle had been built, but in 1883 this was taken out and the double aisle built. The architects were Paley & Austin of Lancaster. Their work is excellent, as is usually the case with this firm, being sympathetic without slavishly copying what was already there. Most of the north side of the church is their work.
Inside the building has a great number of interesting memorials and some brasses. Probably the best of the former is a C18 piece – a large flat black obelisk in the chancel. On it is a tablet with a segmental pediment supported by consoles. Above this is a well executed portrait bust, and above that a portrait medallion. The piece commemorates Christopher and John Emmott. It is the work of Sir Robert Taylor (1714-1788), a sculptor who turned architect, better known for his work on the Bank of England.
The early C16 font was the gift of Lawrence Townley of Barnside in 1590. It has an octagonal bowl decorated with shields which show the Townley coat of arms, the instruments of the passion, IHS, and Townley's initials. It stands on a multi-columned pier. The font bears a close resemblance to that at St Peter & St Paul's, Bolton-by-Bowland.
The church has a good selection of stained glass. The east window of 1863 has five large figures with canopies and angels above, and is by Lavers & Barraud. Further windows are by Powell & Co, and by Jasper & Molly Kettlewell.
On the walls is a good collection of funeral hatchments, and woodwork from the Perpendicular period is also present in the chapel screens.

Eternal Security
written by Lankford Oxendine on the topic of Bible Studies on May, 2009
It is essential for every Christian to understand the clear Biblical teaching that once a person is saved, he can never be lost. God, with His infinite wisdom, emphasized the importance of the doctrine of eternal security by using several different ways to clearly teach this doctrine in Scripture.
The Bible Teaches That the Christian Will Never Perish
One of the clearest passages on eternal security is found in John 10:27-29.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
It should also be noted that eternal security is clearly taught in the most recognized and most memorized verse in the Bible, John 3:16.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The strength of the Father guarantees the Christian's safety and brings assurance to every born-again believer. To deny eternal security is to limit the power of an unlimited God.
The Bible Uses the Word "Eternal" When Describing Salvation
The word eternal means never ending. The saved have eternal life.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (I John 5:13)
God's salvation is called eternal.
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. (Hebrews 5:9)
The saved are redeemed by an eternal redemption.
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. (Hebrews 9:12)
The saved are assured of an eternal inheritance.
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. (Hebrews 9:15)
Salvation By Grace Depends on Eternal Security
According to the Bible, the Christian is completely saved by grace.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8, 9)
Therefore, if a person is not saved by what he does, he cannot maintain and/or lose his salvation by what he does or does not do.
Join us next month for a second article regarding this subject of the eternal security of the believer.

Awesome article. The "Eternal" section was a blessing. I will have to teach those verses to my class this Sunday.

text: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the temperature of wastewater in a biological reactor with activated sludge and the BOD5/N-NH4 ratio in the influent to the treatment plant on nitrification efficiency and the concentration of ammonium nitrogen in treated wastewater. Tests were carried out in a household wastewater treatment plant which collects and treats sewage from a school building and a teacher's house. During the 3-year study, large fluctuations in the sewage temperature in bioreactor were noted which was closely related to the ambient temperature. There were also large fluctuations in the concentration of organic matter and the concentration of ammonium nitrogen in inflowing sewage. The influence of wastewater temperature in the bioreactor and the BOD5/N-NH4 ratio on the concentration of ammonium nitrogen in treated wastewater was determined using Pearson's linear correlation. A statistical analysis showed that a 1°C decrease in the temperature of wastewater in the bioreactor increased the concentration of ammonium nitrogen in treated wastewater by 2.64 mgN-NH4·L-1. Moreover, it was found that nitrification depended on the ratio of BOD5 to the concentration of ammonium nitrogen in wastewater flowing into the bioreactor. An increase in the BOD5/N-NH4 ratio by 1 value led to a 5.41 mgN-NH4·L-1 decrease in the concentration of ammonium nitrogen.JO - Archives of Environmental Protection L1 - http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/112225/PDF/Archives+vol+45+no+3__4.pdf L2 - http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/112225 PY - 2019 IS - No 3 EP - 37 KW - household wastewater treatment plant KW - ammonium nitrogen KW - organic compounds BOD5 KW - air and wastewater temperature A1 - Bugajski, Piotr A1 - Kurek, Karolina A1 - Jóźwiakowski, Krzysztof PB - Polish Academy of Sciences VL - vol. 45 JF - Archives of Environmental Protection DA - 30.08.2019 SP - 31 T1 - Effect of wastewater temperature and concentration of organic compounds on the efficiency of ammonium nitrogen removal in a household treatment plant servicing a school building UR - http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/dlibra/docmetadata?id=112225 DOI - 10.24425/aep.2019.128638 ER -
