Latest News
University student murdered in Rockfort
Dayne Scott was set to graduate from the university this November. The 36-year-old was shot and killed on his way home in Rockfort, east Kingston on Sunday.
Residents told THE WEEKEND STAR that his death has further shaken the war-torn community.
"Him nuh trouble people. Him walk and talk to everybody. All him mada could a seh a 'weh him do, weh him do'," one resident told THE WEEKEND STAR.
Reports from the Rockfort police are that Scott, who lived on Commission Road, was walking home about 9:50 a.m. on Rusden Road when he was pounced on by an unknown assailant who shot him in his upper body, killing him.
Residents of Rockfort are so fearful these days, many refused to speak about the mayhem around them. And those who did, asked for their identities to be kept a secret.
"People in here a shiver and a tremble because innocent people a get caught inna the war," Jane* said.
John* said the innocent residents are forced to pick sides in a war that does not concern them.
"If you come from up deh so, and come talk to me from dung deh so, you a go dead, tru that," he said.
Phillip Paulwell, member of parliament for east Kingston and Port Royal, is appealing to persons to pass over information to the police. He said that it is unfortunate that a promising youth in the community was killed because of a war that could be stopped.
Full cooperation
"I pledge full cooperation and urge all the citizens to ensure that information was passed over to the police. I give full support to the police to arrest those persons who are said to be involved. I condemn the incident because he was just an innocent bystander who was killed when an attack was done on somebody else and I don't only condemn it, but I urge the police to ensure that the killer(s) are brought to justice," he said.
Head of the Kingston East Police, Superintendent Victor Hamilton, said gangs are destroying the communities in the Rockfort area.
"It is just something that we trying to put a lid on and try to eliminate. It's really sad that you have this road and that road, and people are just dividing themselves and making enemies out of each other," he said.
"We continue to carry out operations in the space but so much of it depends on what the community wants, what the members of the community want. We need other stakeholders to come on board with us. We have been getting the response from the churches but not much more," he said.

OPINIONS are split and tempers are fraying over a land deal between the borough council and Woking Football Club.
Woking Borough Council has agreed to sell land around the club's Westfield ground to the club for an estimated £1.6 million.
As well as redevelopment of the ground, the deal could bring the total of new homes for the area to almost 500 and football fans hope it will usher in a golden age at the club. But others fear the agreement will lead to over-development, stretching the local infrastructure to breaking point.
Bob Shatwell, who lives in Lime Grove near Kingfield Stadium, said: "It's awful and should not be allowed.
"It's typical of Woking Borough Council. They are riding roughshod over the rights of residents at every turn.
"We have told them we're opposed to development of the football club but they just don't take any notice."
Householders say an influx of new residents to the area will reduce traffic to a crawl and increase the risk of flooding.
Even some of the Cards' fans believe the new development could cause huge problems.
Clive Miles, who lives on Westfield Avenue, said: "The infrastructure of the town is already falling apart.
"If they build that amount of apartments without doing major roadworks and providing other facilities — doctors, dentists and what have you — it's going to make it worse."
But for the council the deal will provide a cash cow to help it progress the long-awaited Hoe Valley flood defence scheme, which will include the construction of 150 homes on the Westfield Tip site.
The council's executive gave the go-ahead to the deal at Thursday's meeting and went on to discuss the financial details in private.
The redevelopment plans will be subject to the planning process. A council report said the plans are "consistent with the council's long-term policy of supporting Woking FC".
If approved, the work would take place in three phases, starting with the construction of a 2,646-seater West Stand for the club.
Phase one would also include the development of 187 new homes and more than 5,000 square metres of space described as "commercial, operational and rentable".
The second phase would see the snooker and gym club sites being redeveloped to provide a new 2,368-seater North Stand.
This stage would involve the creation of a further 59 homes and more than 1,400sqm of "commercial, rentable space".
Details of the third and final phase have not been finalised but residents fear this could involve a further 100 homes being built.
The council will not see a penny for the deal until the land begins making money for the club through renting the flats and offices proposed in the plans.
Cllr Simon Bellord, portfolio holder for housing, said at the meeting: "This should be a good deal for everybody on all sides. None of this in any way predetermines how the planning department deals with future applications."
He later told the News and Mail that the council could be "open to criticism" for the way it is relying on money generated from redevelopment plans that could still be rejected by the planning department.
However, Cllr Bellord said that if planning permission was not granted, the council would be free to use the land for other suitable projects.
Following the meeting Chris Ingram, Woking FC's chairman, said: "We are delighted with this decision, which demonstrates the ongoing partnership between the club and council. We're especially pleased that this will help alleviate the threat of floods to residents in our surrounding area.
"We will now go forward to draw up detailed plans for new facilities on the Kingfield site that will provide a stadium worthy of our fans, our community and our town.
"When these are ready, we will share them with the community and with our supporters."

Any help would be greatly appreciate, thank you!

In Switzerland we speak Swiss German. Although it comes from High German, it is a dialect of its own. A German from Stuttgart may still understand us, but a German from Hamburg has no chance. Although High German is his or her mother tongue. How difficult must it even be for an American or an English to understand us?
Learning Swiss German is difficult, but not impossible
In order to settle in a new country as quickly as possible, learning the local language is a very important factor. This way you get in touch with the locals much faster and you also understand better how the country and its people tick. It is quite clear to us that Swiss German is not the easiest language to learn. There are innumerable different dialects, and what makes it even more difficult, is that it is only a spoken language. But from our own experience we know that it is absolutely possible to learn at least a little Swiss German.
Typical Switzerland – these expressions are as Swiss as Willhelm Tell
Maybe you already know a few very typical Swiss German sayings. No matter whether you have just arrived in Switzerland or have been living here for some time. We have put together a few important Swiss German words for you that are typical for this country. And make your everyday life easier.
Znüni is the snack you eat at nine o'clock in the morning. A sort of second breakfast, it's a chance to down a quick coffee, read the paper, chat with a colleague or eat a Gipfeli (as croissants are known in the German-speaking part of Switzerland).
En Guete!
Before starting to eat, it is very common to wish everyone a good meal. "En Guete" means as much as "have a good one". Not wishing each other "En Guete" before eating is actually considered rude.
It is also not uncommon for complete strangers in a restaurant to wish each other "En Guete". Or if you walk along an office hallway during lunch hour, most everyone will greet you with this iconic Swiss German expression.
Someone who lives in a cute little house with a white picket fence, a garden gnome in the yard and always eats dinner exactly at 6pm is called a "Bünzli" in Switzerland.This word describes the type of person who fully conforms to rules and ensures that everyone else does the same.
That coworker who always splits the bill down to thelast peny? He's a Bünzli. Or the neighbor who ties up her old newspapers for recycling in a perfectly rectangular fashion (and stacks them as if they were gold bars)? She's a Bünzli, too.
Means handy, just like the Swiss Army knife. but also comfortable. And pleasant. And depending on the part of the country, it's also quite friendly and sociable. All that. In one word. A gäbiges word, this gäbig.
In which case? In case of a case? No, just like that, in case. A blatantly self-righteous way to emphasize an appropriate argument. Just so, in case.
Kantönligeist refers to the intense desire for independence oft he 26 cantons in Switzerland. For many people this small-mindedness sums up everything that is wrong with politics in Switzerland, as cantons often refuse to cede an inch of ground to the federal government because they believe they know best what their region needs.
Thanks to Kantönligeist, Swiss cantons have their own education systems and their own tax regimes. It also means moving from one part of the country to another can be an administrative nightmare.
Surely, in other countries, too, one knows the joy of indulging in something small for little money – usually sweets from a kiosk. But only the Swiss have a special verb for this: chröömle.
That is a tricky one. Actually there is no perfect English translation for this verb.The closest might be "to hold up", "to be airtight" or "to withstand". The Swiss use the word verhebe to describe something that will withstand external factors or challenges. It could also be a concept without holes in it.
Look around Switzerland and you will find lots of evidence of verhebe: the Swiss system of democracy has withstood global conflicts, houses are constructed to exist for centuries, and even park benches are solid. In short: it simply makes the Swiss feel good if their world verhebet!
In Switzerland a blue collar worker is called a Büezer. A construction worker for example or a member of a road crew who works hard. Büezer usual like their after work beer, preferably at the "Stammtisch". Which is a round table at a restaurant or bar, where the same guys meet almost very day and enjoy their well deserved beer together.
The literal translation would be: someone who shits little dots. A Tüpflischiesser is a pedant for whom everything has to be done in the correct way. This could include the government official who makes you redo a form because you've filled everything out in black pen rather than in blue pen as clearly specified. Or it might include the neighbour who enjoys reminding you vacume cleaning is not allowed after 10pm.

The Marlborough-based wine company made personal contact with all the affected households.
Babich Wines had installed a new grape marc pad in 2016 that was designed to store 100 tons of skins, seeds and stems left over from each harvest.
However, it was later found to be inadequate after it leaked into the ground, contaminating wells that provided neighbouring residences with clean drinking water.
Engineering firm Powell Bennett Civil Construction had been contracted to build the pad in 2014 with viticulturist John Wayne Sowman.
No tests were made before its use, however, and the leachate seeped into shallow groundwater bores.
Three of the six households affected complained to the Marlborough District Council of foul tasting water, rotten egg odour pervading through their homes and slime in their water tanks.
One household had a sample tested by Hill Laboratories, which found unsafe levels of manganese and iron.
The western end of the pad was lined with clay, but the south side was not. An outflow pipe ran into two plastic tanks, which leaked if they were full.
Babich lined the pad with polythene, following advice from the council.
After officers visited a second time, however, they found marc was being stored on stony ground outside the pad, and leachate was spilling over the edge of the pad.
The winemaker then covered the grape leftover with silage wrap, diverted storm water away from the pad, and provided clean water to the affected households, two months after contamination was noticed.
Leachate from the untested marc pad has caused drinking water to be deemed unsafe for consumption.
The council's tests of three households showed unsafe levels of iron and manganese, with one household also showing unsafe levels of the highly poisonous arsenic.
Fleur Tiernan, an independent environmentalist, said the leachate was mobilising metals and transferring them into the groundwater.
After this, Babich was ordered to remove all grape marc and leachate from its site by 9 September. Water quality improved, but drinking water was affected for the 12 months following.
Court Repentance
The company pleaded guilty to two charges of pollution in the Environment Court. The council's lawyer Antoinette Besier said it had been a distressing time for the affected neighbours.
Some families were positive about Babich, saying they "behaved as good corporate citizens" in their response to the contamination.
"They went out of their way to make personal contact with each of us, and do everything possible to correct the problem," they added.
The defendant's attorney Jonathan Eaton QC applied for a discharge without conviction, citing the extreme remorse the company showed.
Babich's lawyer Jonathan Eaton QC appealed against the convictions due to the effort gone to by the company to remedy its mistakes.
Eaton argued that a conviction could lead to losses of several million dollars in exports, and forced downsizing as a result.
CEO David Babich told the court that distributors had seen the charges and were questioning him at a trade show in Europe.
He described the pollution as a "disaster and completely opposed to our intended endeavour".
Babich himself had met with the affected households at a restorative justice meeting in August, along with the company's chairman George Green, where they agreed to get rid of the pad, pay the neighbours expenses of NZ$4485.95 and arrange a workshop on grape marc management to educate the region's industry.
The company also reimbursed the council of all costs for analysts and experts employed in the process, along with a large contribution for other costs.
The payouts totalled around NZ$140,000.
Judge John Hassan said the company was careless, not reckless in their failure to adequately test the pad. He also agreed to discharge the company without conviction given its clean record, guilty pleas and "extraordinary remorse".
"This is Babich's first offence, committed out of sound environmental intentions and in a context of 'new science'."
Viticulturist John Wayne Sowman's case was adjourned to 15 March 2019

The Beyond 2002 Super Festival, which was held on April 13-14 at the Bicentennial Park in Miami. Florida, reportedly drew 5,000 people on the first day and some 2,000 attendees on the second day—a number that fell far short of the 20,000+ that the event's organizers, Todd Ross, 24, and Justin Moss, 23, had hoped for. A private investor who provided the bulk of the more than $4 million needed to put on the festival reportedly lost the bulk of the funds when the crowds failed to pick up.
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, THIRD EYE BLIND, SLICK RICK, DOUG E. FRESH, THE OFFSPRING, LUDACRIS, and AFRICA BAMBAATAA were on Saturday's bill. ICE-T, SNOOP DOGG, OUTKAST and FATBOY SLIM were scheduled to appear Sunday.

Along with time and money, energy is one of your most valuable resources. And if you're a professional woman, it's a resource that's most likely in short supply. With the myriad number of professional and personal tasks you need to accomplish, while taking care of your family, you have very little - if any - energy left over for you. It's easy to understand your dilemma.
Energy is defined as "having the internal or inherent power or capacity to act, operate or produce an effect." Mental, physical and emotional energy is the fuel that drives your creativity, your thinking and your ability to take action. Energy drains limit your capacity to act and create. They also deplete the inspiration and motivation that is such a crucial part of a complete and balanced life.
Here are the top 5 sources of energy drain I see most often in my clients' lives, as well as some suggestions for how to eliminate them.
Energy Drain #1: Keeping Details In Your Head, Instead Of In A System
Your brain, like a computer, only has so much RAM (random access memory). And RAM is mental energy. When you rely on yourself to remember your shopping list, your to-do list and your dentist appointment, it eats away at mental energy you could be using elsewhere to create a greater impact in your life.
It's not that all those tasks aren't important, but what if you had the mental energy to complete that major report, write your book or create a more powerful business strategy?
Think of each item you need to remember as an energy unit. How many energy units do you spend keeping details in your head? Find (or create) and begin using a system to track and remember things for you. Use it daily, and you'll free up more mental energy to accomplish higher leverage projects and tasks.
Energy Drain #2: Making Assumptions and Taking Things Personally
Humans are exceptionally good at creating meaning. With every occurrence in our lives or every statement someone makes, we're constantly asking: "what does that mean?" Sometimes meaning helps us to know where we stand, but much of the time the meaning we create is, frankly, an incorrect assumption. How many energy units go down the drain each time you second-guess the meaning of someone's words, actions or inactions?
Think of the last time you spent an hour, a month, a year (or longer) having made the wrong assumption about an interaction with someone. How much energy did it cost you? The next time you find yourself making things up about someone's words or actions, ask them for clarity so you can deal with the truth, and move on.
Energy Drain #3: Tolerating Friction In Your Environment and Relationships
The squeaky door. The leaky faucet. The tired paint color on your bedroom walls. By themselves, the energy drain is minor. Add them all up, however, and you have a gaping hole in your energy system. It's time to clean it all up. Make a list of all the things in your home, office or car that you continually notice needing attention. Set aside some time and tick them off your list once and for all.
Likewise, when you tolerate a dysfunctional relationship or have unfinished business with anyone, you're losing energy. Confront the relationship issues you have. Clean up unfinished business. If necessary, get support from someone who can help you negotiate such confrontations skillfully and responsibly. Think of the energy it takes to avoid someone versus the energy you'd gain in the long run having the issue cleared up.
Energy Drain #4: Disorganization
According to a USA Today report, Americans waste 9 million hours every day looking for misplaced items. Every time you can't find your keys, you waste energy. Each time you have to shuffle through a stack of papers to find an important document you waste energy. Each time you feel like you'd be embarrassed to have a friend drop by, you are depleting your energy account.
The solution is simple. Get organized. Although it may seem a daunting task, what you'll gain in energy and satisfaction is well worth the initial investment. Julie Morgenstern, the organizational goddess, recommends handling it in small chunks. Start with one room at a time. You've got to start somewhere. It's well worth the effort for the feeling of peace and tranquility that an organized space offers.
Energy Drain #5: Taking Care Of Yourself Last
It's been drilled into us. Meet everyone's needs before your own. While taking care of our loved ones provides a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment, it also requires precious energy. In worse cases, it can even breed resentment - another huge source of energy drain.
A famous person once said, "Only give from an overflowing cup." Try this on. What if your criteria for giving were based on how full your own cup was? In other words, you can only afford to give when you have an ample supply yourself.
What does it take to ensure a full cup? A good place to start is to follow the suggestions from the above four examples. You'll begin accumulating a reserve of energy until you have plenty for yourself, as well as enough to give to others.
It's YOUR life . . . live it completely!

I noticed when doing a rebuild to 1G1R with USA priority it us using the original Super Mario dump (0037) and not the REV1. Shouldn't it use the most current version?

This casserole version of the Mexican specialty is perfect for a spicy Easter brunch. This dish can be prepared through step 5 up to a day ahead and chilled (bake an extra 5 to 10 minutes).
How to Make It
Preheat broiler. Lay chiles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Cook about 4 in. from broiler until chiles are blistering and black, about 5 minutes. Turn chiles over and broil until blistering and black all over, about 5 minutes. Put chiles in a large metal bowl and cover with foil or plastic wrap. Let sit 15 minutes.
Peel chiles and discard skins. Cut off stem ends and discard; remove seeds. Set chiles aside on layers of paper towels to dry.
Meanwhile, in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, cook chorizo, stirring occasionally to break up the meat, until cooked through, about 4 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, mix chorizo, cotija, and oregano. Stuff chiles with mixture and lay them in an 8- by 12-in. baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs until they are thoroughly broken up and uniform in color and texture. Whisk in flour, baking powder, and salt. Sprinkle chiles with 1/2 the jack cheese. Pour egg mixture over chiles and sprinkle with remaining jack.
Bake until top starts to brown and the eggs are set but still soft, about 30 minutes.
Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.

Social housing scheme of 1983-1987 by Islington Architect's Department, under Chris Purslow (job architect Gerry Jury).
Reasons for Designation
The Belvoir Estate, 1983-1987 by Islington Architect's Department is listed at Grade II, for the following principal reasons:
Architectural interest:
* a bold and lively estate in a Post-Modernist style, designed using a limited palette of materials and motifs to striking effect, with playful classical references and richly-detailed elevations; * contextually considerate in terms of the scale and form of its buildings, though with variety in massing and composition, using a combination of traditional and modern materials; * thoughtfully planned with a bias towards the quieter side of the site, with the creation of an inward-facing street onto which a mixture of housing types face, with each unit provided some outdoor space; * exemplary provision for mobility-impaired residents, anticipating the Disability Discrimination Act 1995; * degree of survival: the buildings and site stands little altered since its completion.
Historic interest:
* the scheme marks the culmination of Islington's return to high-density, low-rise terraced housing and bookends almost a century of social housing in inner London.
Post-Modernism, a movement and a style prevalent in architecture between about 1975 and 1990, is defined in terms of its relationship with modern architecture. Post-Modernist architecture is characterised by its plurality, engagement with urban context and setting, reference to older architectural traditions and use of metaphor and symbolism. As a formal language it has affinities with mannerism (unexpected exaggeration, distortions of classical scale and proportion) and the spatial sophistication of Baroque architecture. Post-Modernism accepts the technology of industrialised society but expresses it in more diverse ways than the machine imagery of the contemporary High-Tech style.
The origins of the style are found in the United States, notably in the work of Robert Venturi and Charles Moore which combined aspects of their country's traditions (ranging from the C19 Shingle Style to Las Vegas) with the knowing irony of pop art. A parallel European stream combined an abstracted classicism or a revival of 1930s rationalism with renewed interest in the continental city and its building types. In England, the American and European idioms converged in the late 1970s, to produce works by architects of international significance, including James Stirling, and distinctive voices unique to Britain such as John Outram. The 1980s revival of the British economy was manifested in major urban projects by Terry Farrell and others in London, while practices such as CZWG devised striking imagery for commercial and residential developments in Docklands and elsewhere.
Responsibility for the provision of public housing was delegated to the inner London boroughs on local government reorganisation in 1965. Like Camden and Lambeth, the London Borough of Islington, under chief architect Alf Head and his successor Chris Purslow, moved from a policy of comprehensive redevelopment and system building, to low-rise terraced schemes and the rehabilitation of C19 stock. The design of some projects was parcelled out to private practices such as Darbourne and Darke, Andrews Sherlock and Partners, Pring, White and Partners, and John Melvin, while other schemes, such as the Belvoir Estate, were undertaken in-house. Islington's architect's department adopted a neo-vernacular style, starting at the New North Road estate (c 1980-1981, job architect Mary Hogben). Local details were sometimes quoted to witty effect, as at Catherine Griffiths Court (1987-1988) which echoes the square tiling of Tecton's Finsbury Health Centre, opposite.
The number and scale of new-build housing schemes dramatically decreased from the mid-1970s in response to reductions in local government expenditure. The Belvoir and Highcroft and estates to the north of the borough were amongst Islington's last new-build schemes, thus ending almost a century of public housing provision in London. The two estates, separated by Hillrise Road, were designed by separate teams at around the same time. The Belvoir site (job architect Gerry Jury) was planned between July and November 1983, with design work completed in 1984, and construction completed in 1987; at Highcroft, to the east, the job architect was Mary Hogben.
The Belvoir scheme comprises a total of 48 units, providing a range of social housing from single-bedroom bungalows to three-storey four-bedroom family homes, with sheltered housing and units designed specifically for mobility-impaired occupants. It respected the existing street layout and was designed to be contextually appropriate to its suburban site in terms of the type, scale and massing of its dwellings, and its principal building materials. A bold and playful Post-Modernist design though restrained in its gestures, suited to its domestic function and suburban setting, and exhibiting the influence of Stirling's Neue Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart, and CR Mackintosh. Very thoughtfully planned terms of the end users, and anticipating the provisions of the Disability Discrimination Act of 1995, it was described by the Architects' Journal as 'an example of public housing at its best' (19 October 1988). It is little altered externally, beyond the occasional replacements of doors, and changes to the original paint colours.
Social housing scheme of 1983-1987 by Islington Architect's Department, under Chris Purslow (job architect Gerry Jury).
STRUCTURE and MATERIALS: load-bearing London stock and red bricks in cavity wall construction, with clay roof tiles and timber window and door frames.
PLAN: the site is an acute triangle bounded by Hornsey Rise to the west, Hillrise Road to the east and Hornsey Rise Gardens to the north. It is bisected by a drive, Marie Lloyd Gardens, which runs west from Hillrise Road, curving to the north to emerge at Hornsey Rise Gardens. There is a pedestrian close further south, again leading west from Hillrise Road.
The housing at the Belvoir estate ranges from one to three storeys and comprises a mixture of sheltered flats, some designed for mobility-impaired residents, and three- and four-bedroom family houses. The sheltered accommodation is located to the south of the site and includes 20 flats and 4 bungalows, each with a single bedroom. The houses, arranged in short terraces, occupy the north of the site.
The flats (1-7a/b Hillrise Road, 11-15a/b Hillrise Road and 34-38a/b Hornsea Rise) are disposed in short terraces of two-storey buildings, each unit containing two flats with separate access. The ground floor flats are designed for mobility-impaired residents, with a large, gated porch for a battery car or wheelchair. The turning circles of the residents' wheelchairs or mobility scooters cue the broad curves of the terraces and stairs. The upper-floor flats, intended for able-bodied residents, have their own front doors, reached via external stairs. 34-38a/b Hornsea Rise are sited on a retaining wall above street level and are accessed via gated steps and a pedestrian walkway. 1-7a/b Hillrise Road are set within the estate boundary and are accessed from a gated entrance on Hillrise Road. 9 Hillrise Road is a three-storey building with a south-facing, semi-circular common room.
Edith Cavell Close is a roughly symmetrical group of four L-plan bungalows; each have one bedroom and a terrace and are designed for wheelchair access.
To the north are several terraced groups of housing for larger families. 1-6 and 9 Marie Lloyd Gardens are two-storey, three-bedroom houses, and 6-7, recessed from the line of the terrace, have one bedroom each. 10-13 Marie Lloyd Gardens are four two-storey houses with three bedrooms and large terraces on both floors. Adjoining these are 14-15, two houses of three storeys and four bedrooms, with access to a flying freehold forming a carriageway arch into Hornsey Rise Gardens. East of the archway, 63-65 Hornsea Rise Gardens are two three-storey narrow-frontage houses with four bedrooms. 17-27 Hillrise Road is a 'crescent' of six houses with three storeys and four bedrooms.
EXTERIORS: the housing is mainly of London stock brick laid in stretcher bond, and has contrasting sections in red brick, and with red brick details and dressings. Windows and the frameworks to sections of panelling are stained timber, and roofs are shallowly pitched and covered in clay tiles. Front doors, generally, are painted white and glazed with a grid ten lights, or are solid timber, painted royal blue. The grid is a recurrent device, manifest in window arrangements, metal canopies and frameworks, gates, and panelling, and along with the quadrant and semi-circular details and devices elsewhere, and blocks and bands of contrasting brickwork, it creates a strong sense of geometry in the elevations.
1-7a/b Hillrise Road, 11-15a/b Hillrise Road and 34-38a/b Hornsea Rise: the front elevations of the two-storey groups of sheltered flats have square windows and bands of red brickwork. Prominent red-brick projections house the external stairs to the upper units with lockable bin stores below. A square trellis-like grid encloses the stairs while a porthole window provides a view out. The projection has one curved end of header bond, with a ramp leading to the ground-floor flat. The entrance is articulated by an oversized triangular lintel of pre-cast concrete, painted white. Above is a metal-framed porch-cum-conservatory to the upper-floor flat, painted bright yellow. The rear elevations have a similar treatment of banded brickwork, and have double-height triangular oriel windows with white gridded aprons.
1-9 Marie Lloyd Gardens: a concave crescent of nine two-storey, two-bay houses. Porches of rusticated, painted concrete project from the northern elevation and contain paired entrances beneath a triangular pediment. The remainder of the ground floor is glazed, with metal-framed gridded windows. On the first floor there are two square windows, and the continuous pitched roof terminates in a shaped gable at either end. 6-7 Marie Lloyd Gardens are smaller, single-bedroom units, and are recessed from the building line towards the west end of the terrace. On the southern, concave side of the crescent, each house has a symmetrical elevation with a central doorway on the ground floor with a square window to either side, and a pair of square windows to the first floor, with a gridded panel beneath.
10-13 Marie Lloyd Gardens: a group of four houses, each of which has wide three-storey bay with a monopitched roof and a large ground-floor gridded window, and an adjoining entrance bay, set back behind a gateway and in contrasting red brick. The front door is recessed behind an oversized triangular lintel in white-painted pre-cast concrete. A boldly-curved parapet wall conceals the first-floor terrace; it is mirrored by a concave parapet in red brick to the monopitch roof of the main bay. The rear elevation has a similar treatment of bays, with a projecting semi-circular terrace at ground floor level.
14-15 Marie Lloyd Gardens: a pair of three-storey houses with red-brick banding and a hipped roof. The west elevation has two oriel windows with a pediment and grid panelling beneath. There is a terrace projecting at first floor level, shared by the two houses. To the east, adjoining 14-15 at first floor level, is the flying freehold, which forms a carriageway arch entrance to the north end of Marie Lloyd Gardens.
63-65 Hornsea Rise Gardens: a pair of narrow-frontage, three-storey houses stepping up the steep street. They are gabled and the ground- and first-floor windows are linked, with a panelled grid, to form a T-shape. Red brick edges and breaks up the facades.
17-27 Hillrise Road: a short crescent of three pairs of three-storey houses stepping up the hill. Each is of two bays, and has paired entrance porches covered by a lead-covered semi-circular arch springing from rendered and rusticated piers. The larger first- and second-floor windows are joined with a gridded panel. The roofs have an uneven pitch, the rear being much deeper with skylights into the attic. The gable ends of the row are built up with a high parapet, cut out on one side and with blocks of red-brick detailing.
1-4 Edith Cavell Close: a row of four bungalows, each with two perpendicular, monopitched ranges with semi-circular balcony terraces. Access is via the gated, pedestrianized pathway to the north, which has a continuous boundary wall adjoining the four bungalows. INTERIORS: not inspected (2017), but understood to be of standard specification: plastered and painted walls throughout, with wooden doorframes and skirting.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: there are brick boundary and retaining walls with painted metal railings; they are detailed in red brick with semi-circular scoops echoing the geometry of the adjoining sheltered accommodation.
This building is listed under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as amended for its special architectural or historic interest.

Celderma Make Up Quick Priming Mask Review:
I will come right out and say it: I'm not sure I buy this whole priming mask thing. But I am very intrigued by it being a quick mask that is done in up to five minutes, and that is an enough selling point for me! Of course I will be judging it also regarding the priming abilities and it better surprise me because if it has priming in the name I expect it to do as much of a good job as my priming sun cream. At least.
1. Boosting and makeup fixer primer mask.
2. A mask that does the basic care and primes the skin all at once!
3. Regardless of your skin's condition it immediately boosts the skin up and makes your makeup more long-lasting.
4. It is so quick and multi-function it reduces the basic steps of your morning preparation routine.
5. Hydrates the skin while refining the skin texture.
Water, Butylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, Betaine, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Glycerin, 1,2-hexanediol, Trehalose, Phenoxyethanol, Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Beta Vulgaris (Beet) Root Extract, Allantoin, Caffeine, Tromethamine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Lactic Acid, Disodium Edta, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Sodium Hyaluronate, Beta-glucan, Pearl Extract, Caesalpinia Spinose Fruit Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Kappaphycus Alvarezii Extract, P-anisic Acid
Volume: 5g
How to use:
1. After cleansing, use a facial water (or toner) to prep the skin.
2. Open the pouch and remove the sheet, opening it from the center out first to the right and then to the left (this is important).
3. Apply the mask to your face using the grip prominences on the mask sheet, and starting with the top of your face.
4. Wait for 3 to 5 minutes before removing and promote absorption by tapping the remaining essence with your fingers.
**On busy days you can use the mask while drying your hair or brushing your teeth to save time.
My Skin Type: Combination (dry U oily T), sensitive, needs elasticity, hydration and moisture.
Celderma Make Up Quick Priming Mask Review:
The package is thinner than all others, it's sort of like… a cheap cookie package. Which makes it less bad for the environment than others, right? And as long as the mask is protected who are we to complain. Design wise, I really don't care for it at all. Nothing ugly but not special either.
The mask had slid up and didn't let me open the package in one go, but the pouch is so thin I just tugged it up and it came out easily and cleanly!
The mask is so thin that I couldn't unfold it and accidentally tore it! This is a first and I'm not enjoying that…
It has the most horrible adherence! It just doesn't stick to the skin at all.
And it has almost no essence in the mask itself…
But on the bright side it hurts zero on the skin.
There is some scent but nothing that can be identified and so weak most people won't feel it.
They say to use this mask while blow drying our hair, except this mask is for 5 minutes and my hair takes 40 minutes to dry? So I decided dry my bangs only and see if the mask sticks to my face.
That obviously didn't work. So I simply applied the mask again and decided to wait it's all good, all good, this part I expected. That was a stupid advice on their part though.
The essence is so liquid it's impossible to take a proper swatch photo. Of course it absorbs like a wonder.
And since it's so liquid I'll definitely apply the leftover from the pouch on my face (both for hydration and priming purposes).
The smell definitely exists. But nothing I can discern. Anyway, it is weak and smells a little like cosmetics (makeup cosmetics, not skin cosmetics) and that's the best I can do when it comes to identifying it. Nothing bothersome.
The mask may be super thin with the crappiest adherence ever. And the essence may be so watery it absorbs within seconds. But the essence itself somehow relaxes and hydrates my skin. It feels a little like the Missha Oil Soak mask but without the oil and consequent moisture! This essence is really surprising on the feeling it leaves on the skin.
The essence left in the pouch was enough for 3 layers of application. And whereas it isn't soothing per se, the essence is hydrating enough to relax my skin and keep my pores tiny!
So on that note I started having hopes again for its priming abilities (since all good face primers need to take care of the pores right). So I proceeded with the rest of my skin care and waited until it absorbed completely.
My skin only needed mist 2 times during the day (which in the heat it's a low number, for a mask that doesn't focus on hydration or moisture) and my foundation did last the whole day, completely adhered. My pores were pretty during the day too, even though I didn't use a pore primer. In fact other than the mask, skincare, and makeup I didn't wear any other product! No primer sun creams or misting primers.
So this mask does do a good job when we look at the facts. However you can see in the last photo (which I took on the wrong side of the face, sorry) how much sebum I produced during the day (it was a lot of sebum). I was indoors the whole day, didn't sweat a drop, and it is only 29 to 30 degrees Celcius, which is a very comfortable temperature for me.
In short, all they promised is true. But regardless of the results, having this amount of sebum is a no no. I would rather use a normal mask and apply primer, even if this mask did keep all the promises.
I think if you have a dry skin type you may get away with this, even if it's sensitive since this mask didn't hurt at all.
But with these results on me I won't recommend it to anyone else.

With so many choices, deciding what to see at the 2017 Vancouver Fringe Festival can be a daunting task.
I've scoured this year's program, taken my knowledge from previous years, and added a good dose of intuition (and a little dark magic) to come up with the ten (+ten) shows that I am not going to miss this year. In no particular order, here they are:
7 Ways to Die – I can be sucker for shows with masks. Told without dialogue, this strange romantic comedy about suicide may be just what our modern lives need right now.
Bushel and Peck – James leaves Jamesy at home at this year's Vancouver Fringe as Alastair Knowles teams up with choreographer Stephanie Morin-Robert in a performance combining dance, mime, and theatre.
Interstellar Elder – we've said it before … there is no such thing as too much science fiction or 80's television references. Billed as Alien meets the Golden Girls I'm looking forward to this ride into space.
A Soldier's War – with Dunkirk making a splash on the big screen, and the 100th anniversary of Vimy Ridge still very much our minds, this story based on real-life war-time is just timely.
Everybody Dies in December – while we still remember Nancy Kenny's 2014 show about the roller derby, she had us with 'dark comedy' for this latest work. We're pretty sure the Fisher family would approve.
Swordplay: A Play of Swords – who could ignore a comedy troupe called Sex T-Rex? It is about as impossible as ignoring a show poking fun at The Princess Bride and Game of Thrones. Did I mention there were swords?
5-Step Guide to Being German – I admit to having more than a passing interest in Germany (ask me about that sometime). I'm pretty sure Colonel Klink won't be making an appearance though.
Bombay Black – I'm banking on this award-winning play from playwright Anosh Irani to be a refreshing change of pace from the ubiquitous one-person shows. Having had the opportunity to visit India this year myself, I'm also hoping it will be a window into a world we did't see as a tourist.
Multiple Organism – award-winning Mind of a Snail Puppet Co brings the overhead projector (and its shadow puppets) into the boudoir with its very first adults only comedy. Check your inhibitions at the door.
Slumber Here – always on the look-out for fringe shows in non-traditional venues, this one not only takes place in a park, it is also described as a live-action Shakespearean video game. Power up the controllers!
Six Fine Lines – from the playwright who gave us the Jessie nominated Three Stories Up comes a very personal story about words and how they can sometimes fail us in real life. As a writer I can relate.
And because I have no self-control, here are ten more that I'm hoping to take in (as time permits) as well:
- Cry-Baby: The Musical – who can resist a musical based on a John Waters' film?
- Teaching Shakespeare – I wish my own lit class looked as funny!
- Let Me Freeze Your Head – are we talking Walt Disney, or someone else?
- Fifty Shades of Dave – is Stuart McLean laughing or turning in his grave?
- Pint of Life – who can resist the call of ice-cream?
- Help! I'm American – we can all feel DK Reinemer's pain right now!
- Naturally! – we get to choose? I'm putting my thinking cap on now!
- Roller Coaster – TJ Dawe. Need I say more?
- Chris & Travis – I'm determined to finally see these two!
- The Audience Dies in the End – oh, really? We'll see about that!
The 2017 Vancouver Fringe Festival runs September 7-17 on Granville Island and stages around town. Visit http://vancouverfringe.com for tickets and information.

'It's as if You Israelis Forgot What You Went Through and Where You Came From'
Date: 17.12.18 Source: Haaretz, Itay Stern
On a very rainy evening in Tel Aviv last month, a few hundred people crowded into the cinematheque for the premiere of new Israeli TV series "Ir Miklat" ("Asylum City"). While two of the show's stars, Hani Furstenberg and Mali Levi, dazzled in evening gowns, most of the other cast members avoided ostentatious fashion statements.
The exception was Sean Mongoza, who was sporting a colorful silk suit and pair of blue velvet moccasins. Mongoza, 24, had never experienced so many flashing cameras before, not even while working as a model. But what really excited him was the presence of his parents in the auditorium.
That year, at age 7, something happened for the first time in his life: he had a birthday celebration of sorts. "I remember my first white friend at school. He came over a few times. I made up a [story about a] birthday I was about to have in a few days. He got excited and bought me a gift. That day, my parents came home early from work. I was showering and heard someone knocking at the door. My father opened the door and asked who it was. This kid had bought me a soccer ball, but my father told him 'Sean doesn't have a birthday,' and shut the door. That was on a Friday, and when we went to church I saw the gift wrap flying around on the sidewalk."
Thankfully, his childhood improved as he grew older. He made new friends at the boarding school and was embraced by its counsellors and other staff members. He attended high school at the Herzliya Gymnasium, where he set up a youth band and became popular with his peers. He smiles broadly as he remembers his days at the boarding school. "For the first time I felt warmth from people, not fear and alienation. That's where I developed," he says.
However, aspects of his violent homelife did occasionally resurface at the boarding school, where he admits to "violent outbursts" if he ever encountered racism: "I'd go from 0 to 100 in one second flat. If I didn't get what I wanted, I'd close the door and not speak to anyone. I took out my anger mainly on objects. There was a lot of anger there."
At 16, when he first attempted to get his ID card, he encountered institutional racism as well. When he arrived at the Interior Ministry branch to receive his card, he was forced to line up alongside hundreds of asylum seekers from Sudan and Eritrea. Mongoza couldn't understand why someone who grew up in Israel and spoke fluent Hebrew, and whose friends were all Israeli, needed to go through the same bureaucratic channels.
At the time, he felt he had nothing in common with those Africans waiting in line. Now, though, his résumé includes roles playing African asylum seekers in the series "Alifim" ("Ninth-Graders") – which he landed at age 17 – and then "Betoolot" ("Mermaids") and "Metim Lerega" ("Dead for a Moment"), the latter two coming while he was still studying at Tel Aviv's Nissan Nativ Acting Studio.
Persistent casting director
"Asylum City," which premiered on Yes Edge in Israel last week, is Mongoza's first starring TV role. He plays Gabriel, an Eritrean who entered Israel illegally with his sister, having seen her be raped in front of him as they were crossing the desert. In Israel, he joins a refugee center where he meets a volunteer (Mali Levi), who pays a high price for trying to be the Don Quixote of south Tel Aviv.
The series is directed with great sensitivity and tries, according to director Eitan Tzur, to be an Israeli version of David Simon's groundbreaking show "The Wire." And after watching the first two episodes, it seems that such lofty pretensions are not completely unfounded.
Mongoza, Levi and Furstenberg (who plays a police officer trying to crack a criminal case) are all equally impressive, each of them part of a dark and disturbing mosaic in which asylum seekers are the weakest link.
Mongoza wasn't exactly busting a gut when he attended his audition. To him at the time, the part seemed like another of those stereotypical African refugee roles. But the casting director, who saw him facing the camera with an air of disinterest, did not give up and asked him to concentrate. Some 18 months later, he received an offer and was asked to show up for filming two weeks later. "I came to the first rehearsal and asked Eitan the director, 'Why did you choose me? You could have taken any non-actor Eritrean who knows the language.' He said he wanted an actor who could hold it all together. I told him, 'Great, that was good for my ego.'"
The actor contradicts my assumption that he probably doesn't have much in common with his character. "I found many points of identification with him, actually," he says. "The fact that he's a painter and an artist was important for me, as well as his loyalty to his family. I learned a lot from the character. It led me to appreciate my family and my place as a black man in Israel.
"Gabriel did not have the opportunities I have had. He walked through the desert with his sister, who was raped. He performed menial jobs here, but still kept his joie de vivre – which I can relate to. Something about his dignity really impressed me.
"As a child, I felt that my color differentiated me," continues Mongoza, saying it was only as he grew older that he learned to live at peace with his identity as a black man in Israel. "When it came to relationships – with the parents of partners who didn't want me because of my color or because I'm not Jewish – that was very painful," he admits. "Some people have blue eyes that they can cover with colored lenses; I can't paint myself white. That's my personality, my identity and scar – and it's there for the better."
Now he's the star of a TV series and has become something of a household face, he doesn't deny that he is part of the Tel Aviv art scene and a proud member of Israeli society. "It's the embodiment of a new generation: I'm a Congolese-Israeli," he smiles, "another color in the world, another genre. It has been confusing for me in a way since for many years I've distanced myself from my culture, my African identity, and I didn't want any part of it. I feel like I don't know my roots.
"I'm interested in going to Congo one day, but don't want to go as a tourist," he says. "In any case, I'll feel different there. I don't speak Lingala very well. They'll immediately spot that I'm different. And I don't want to go on a 'root-finding' mission. When I go, I want to do something significant – maybe set up a school. It has to be something else."
Warning sign
Although Mongoza has Israeli citizenship, he notes that many members of the Congolese community here are at risk of deportation. For him, "Asylum City" serves as a warning sign. "The Interior Ministry recently decreed that everyone who came here from the Democratic Republic of Congo must leave by the beginning of next year. This doesn't apply to my nuclear family, but it does to my uncle and to a good friend of my mother.
"There are 4,000 Congolese in Israel, not a significant number," he says. "How does it hurt the country to let these people live here? For me, this TV series is a protest, it's part of the whole issue. There is an entire community here. Jews also experienced hardships, they went through the Holocaust. Now they come to someone and deport him – it's as if you forgot what you went through and where you came from. I never for one moment forget where I came from. Even when I'm in the limelight I don't forget it."
I ask Mongoza how racist Israel is and he doesn't hold back. "It's really racist. The fact that I can't marry a Jewish woman here is racist. We're living in 2018 and that's a racist law. And that's before you're called 'N*****,' and before they make you go through hell to get an ID card. Look at Tsahi Halevi and Lucy Aharish, who had to conceal their relationship," he says, referring to the Jewish actor and Arab news anchor who secretly married in October. "You are always on the defensive living here. I ask myself if I want my children to live like that. I don't want them to go through what I went through. It wasn't easy."
Despite those damning words, Mongoza concedes there have been small signs of improvement. "Israel is changing slowly. The generation of Africans who were born here is slowly integrating into Israeli society and its cultural world. We have some influence over the way Africans are accepted here. It's easy for young Africans to complain about how they've been deprived. If something doesn't suit you – try to change it. You can start with your own milieu or your art or with how you talk or see the world. A lot is in our hands too."

Layoffs May be Good for Business, but Bad for PR
Macy's announces 2,500 layoffs and five store closings; their stock increases eight percent. Sony slashes 5000 jobs and sees a 3.9 percent stock increase. Hewlett-Packard reveals another 11,000-16,000 job cut, in addition to the 34,000 previously announced. They are rewarded with a six percent stock jump for the quarter and 27 percent increase for the year. Barclays will deliver another 19,000 pink slips in the next three years. Wall Street cheers, and their stock rises seven percent.
While this is great news for investors, "job killing" is not great for PR. As Ronn Torossian points out, the court of public opinion does not wait to pass judgment. In order to thrive, or sometimes just survive, some companies must eliminate jobs. When a small number of individuals lose their jobs, even though those workers survival is at risk, the public can understand a few job losses. When the layoffs number in the thousands however, people are not so forgiving.
Layoffs are often necessary, but never pleasant. Strategic planning and effective messaging can help minimize the negative PR that layoffs generate. Large job cuts are rarely ever a spur of the moment decision. Companies need to utilize the time before the announcement to put a PR strategy in place. Offering decent severance packages and help finding future employment will help lessen some of the impact.
The message should show that management realizes the hardship of the layoffs to both the terminated employees, and those staying with the company. The business should not sugar coat the severity of the job losses, but should highlight the positive outcome for the health of the company. It should also stress any sacrifices that top management makes.
When Barclays announced its restructuring, part of the message it broadcast let people know that the CEO, Antony Jenkins, had not taken a bonus in two years.
Ronn Torossian explains that the company also needs a clear, well-defined vision of the company after the layoff and communicate this effectively. When Macy's CEO, Terry Lundrgren announced their layoff, he had specific details on departments and stores affected. Macy's also relayed information that all 2500 employees would receive severance.
In order for the public to forgive such massive layoffs, the business must focus on the health of the company and not the bottom-line for investors. Otherwise the risk of seeming uncaring multiplies, which could ultimately have a very chilling effect on the bottom-line.

The 'Farm Risk Management for Africa' Project, also known as FARMAF, held an international policy workshop from 14–15 April 2015 in Lusaka, Zambia. Over 100 participants shared best practices and discussed the development of sustainable farm risk management systems for African farmers, especially smallholder farmers. The EU-funded project is being implemented by a partnership led by NRI which includes three European research and education institutions and eight African farmers' organisations.
The business of farming inevitably brings risks, from climate events such as drought, floods, wind and hailstorms, to high price variability at the post-harvest level. Smallholder farmers in Africa face the added challenges of difficulties in acquiring farm inputs (such as seed, machinery and fertiliser) and uncertain access to markets for their produce. Tools such as agricultural insurance and advanced marketing systems, can help manage these risks, provide protection against severe negative shocks and optimise productivity.
However, smallholders typically have limited access to these tools. The FARMAF project has been busy in the three years since its inception, scaling up and developing a number of risk management tools in the three pilot countries of Burkina Faso, Tanzania and Zambia, whilst identifying further challenges. Reports from these countries have highlighted policy and regulatory frameworks as areas that need to be reformed in order to assure the sustainability of the tools. Specifically, disabling policies and the lack of a supportive regulatory framework were identified as obstacles to the development of accessible farm risk management tools in the region. The international policy workshop, entitled 'An enabling policy environment for farm risk management systems in Africa,' was held to address these issues, in response to suggestions from project partners.
The workshop brought together representatives of the project's funders from the European Union and AGRINATURA-EEIG (a consortium of European agricultural research and education institutions), the research consortium leading in implementation of the project and partner African farmers' organisations. Also represented were local, regional and international private service providers as well as research institutes and universities. The workshop was co-hosted by the Pan African Farmers' Organization and the Zambia National Farmers' Union. The keynote address for the workshop was delivered by Zambia's Minister for Agriculture and Livestock – Honourable Given Lubinda, whose supportive speech is published in full on the FARMAF website.
NRI's Dr Gideon Onumah, FARMAF Project Coordinator, stated, "This workshop provided an excellent forum to discuss practical measures that governments, together with other stakeholders, could take to promote risk management tools which are accessible to smallholder farmers in Africa." The positive feedback from the workshop will certainly help to map the way forward for this project as they work towards developing a regulatory framework and enabling policies for the sector.

Today is WORLD HELLO DAY, a day to take time to say hello to everyone you meet! Can you say hello without saying a word?
Now you know how I passed French in High School. LOL! That song is a good way to learn the numbers one to ten as well as a greeting. I keep thinking one of these days I'll find myself in France – at the Eiffel Tower – and need to know the language, at least minimally. Hey – don't deny me the dream! I so want to see Europe one day!
How many languages can you say HELLO in? Well, of course! Just as we can read our pets by their body language, we can read people. Sometimes all a person needs is a smile to say hello. How important is a HELLO from you? It could make all the difference to someone you encounter, even if you don't think it will.
My husband and I discussed the other day a movie called "The Jazz Singer". I did a little research and learned that it's been remade twice. The original came out in 1927 and starred Al Jolson. It was one of the first American musicals put on film. The first remake came out in 1953 and starred Danny Thomas. Because the film did not do well, Thomas vowed to never act in another movie and stayed focused on television shows. The second and last remake came out in 1980 and starred Neil Diamond.
Yes, there's a point here – (thank you for your patience). In the 1980 movie, Neil Diamond wowed us with his musical talent. I enjoyed the music so much that I went out and bought the album almost immediately after I left the movie theatre! Three of the songs from the album became Top 10 pop singles, with "Love on the Rocks," "Hello Again" and "America" reaching #2, #6, and #8 respectively.
Of the three, my favorite song is "Hello Again". I think listening to that today may give us the nudge we need to go out and say hello to everyone we meet! 🙂
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. – Psalm 9:9
Each time "selah" appears in a psalm, the musicians paused, either to take a breath, or to sing a cappella or let the instruments play alone? Perhaps they were pausing to praise Him about whom the song was speaking, perhaps even lifting their hands in worship.
Last night as I watched the President's address about immigration, I had a "selah" moment. It's as if the Holy Spirit spoke to me and reminded me that I am to welcome all. Now, I have not changed my mind about how things went down- and I likely never will. It's wrong for a President to try to make a law – and I'm so tired of the lying and proverbial pulling of the wool over "stupid" American's eyes. About those evil things – I pray. About how angry those things get me – I pray.
But, God reminded me that I am to be Christ-like to people – all people. That's my job. That is what I can control.
I was also reminded of a basic verse from Galatians:
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith… against such things there is no law. – Galatians 5:22
God does not see borders and He wants me to be His ambassador, His representative. God does not like ugly – no matter what the circumstance. God sees all people, and they are precious souls created by Him. 🙂

There are generally three ways for a Vermont DUI attorney to attack a DUI breathalyzer result.
Vermont DUI law allows the police to request two different breath tests. The first is almost always done before an arrest is made and is called a Preliminary Breath Test. The second is given at the police station and is called an Evidentiary Test.
The Preliminary Breath Test is not admissible into evidence at a Vermont DUI trial. Instead, this DUI breathalyzer is only used to prove to a judge that the police officer had "probable cause" to make the DUI arrest. A jury will never hear of this test result.
The "Evidentiary Test" test result IS shown to a jury. Vermont uses a machine called a Datamaster for this.
A Vermont DUI lawyer will explore excluding this test result from evidence as part of the DUI breathalyzer defense.
There are three general avenues to use. First, the attorney explores whether the test should have been given at all. If the officer had no reason to pull the defendant over in the first place, or did not comply with Vermont DUI law afterward, then all of the evidence collected after that moment can be excluded.
Second, the officer must follow Vermont's Implied Consent Law – or the DUI breath test result can be excluded. This law gives the police permission to seek the Evidentiary Test – but only if they comply with Vermont's Implied Consent Rights. These rights include the right to talk to a lawyer before taking the Evidentiary Test at the police station, the right to a second breathalyzer test if the first one is the legal limit, and the right to an independent blood test after being released.
The third DUI breathalyzer defense involves investigation into the accuracy of the machine. Because they look for tiny amounts of alcohol, they must be operating perfectly. If the maintenance records reveal a flawed machine, the test result can be excluded.

Hello all and thank you for taking the time to read my question.
I am struggling with a client of mine. I have done just about everything that I can think of that has worked on other sites. Banging my head up against the wall here.
He is VERY active in the contribution area of Avvo.com (answering questions and making guides). His site use to rank very well but now it can't be found at all. One of the things that caught my attention is the way he would leave his citation in his answers for AVVO. He would leave a direct link to his website. Since his rankings have dropped I have advised him to stop. Do you think Google is treating them as spam? His link profile is small >1000 links but half of them are from AVVO
I was wondering if anyone else any experience with this?
Thanks in advance

Royalty Into Non Existent Business Model
The underlying idea behind this latest 'innovation' is fun to trace. First, we have to realize that Steve really isn't in the business of building computers anymore. He's in the entertainment business. iTunes, and Pixar are his mainstay businesses. He's in bed with all the major DMCA people. And he is not trying to invent a better computer. He's trying to invent a way that he can control what you see and hear. Because that's what his stakeholders want.
Flash is by and large an open standard. Steve won't make any money from it - and he won't lose any money if he allows the devices Apple are putting out - to support it. He simply decided he won't support it. Instead, he's supporting H.264.
H.264 will allow for content license companies to charge people who make videos - a license fee for originating their content. And in a new and interesting way. If you post the video to your website - you're going to have to pay for it to be there.
Isn't this like the woman who has the tub overflowing upstairs, and finds new ways to have both of her children constantly running through the door with bucks of water to bail the stream of water flowing downstair?
When all she should really do is just turn off the water ? We all look at Google and read their business model and remark to ourselves that 'Do No Evil' seems a noble element of any corporate vision. But when it comes down to who is going to turn the screws - on whom... will Google's VP8 catch fire? Or will Apple force people down a road that once again makes a narrowly defined entertainment company elite - mega-billions, while stifling off the efforts and work of my daughter? My friends? Or anyone else making independent film?
This war is dividing the internet. Firefox has decided they will not support the new standard. Google Chrome is simply not a stable platform. And so, it divides now between software and hardware platforms - and interoperability for each. Apple's iPad will have to catch fire and their 'Safari' browser become some kind of standard. Neither will likely be the case. No matter how vigorously Apple defends multi-touch interface, solid state devices using a variant of that interface will come within two years. The hardware industry is ruthless: we will have alternatives there. But in the software, and particularly - the browser wars... I am noticing a few things about IE8 and the other browsers - that are disturbing. For example, haloscan comments systems don't work in IE8. And certain style sheets are locking up there as well.
Safe money is to retreat to Firefox, which is by and large a small memory footprint, fast, and stable browsing platform. The concept that one can charge royalties from a non existent business model - is as alien to open source development - and the growth of the net - as pre emptive self defense is to peaceful democracy.
Know your rights.
Note: Some of you may have noticed I've put up a 'Donation' link in the upper right corner. Please feel free to contribute. In fact, feel really free to contribute. If you contribute, you might just feel so free and open and happy you will dance and sing in the street and jump up and down on your desk.

Running a business is a gift. And the ability to share that gift with the communities where we live, work, and do business gets us out of bed every morning (plus coffee, of course).
When it comes to community, there's a method to our madness; we primarily focus on issues and organizations related to education, social justice, and the environment.
Internationally, we donate a a portion of our annual sales to two organizations:
Child Aid's FUNDIT program provides children in Guatemala with the finances they need for school registration, school supplies, uniforms, and more. Since 2003, Ethical Bean has raised over $64,000, providing more than 650 educational grade-schooler scholarships. In 2010, the FUNDIT Scholarship Program was renamed the Ethical Bean Coffee Scholarship Fund.
Project Somos is an eco-sustainable village and community for at-risk mothers and children located within the Kaqchikel community of Chivarabal in Guatemala. As an orphan prevention program, the Children's Village supports widowed and single mothers who are at risk of losing their children due to poverty and difficult living situations by educating them on nutrition, hygiene, organic gardening, and more. With new skills and greater self-confidence, mothers are able to return to their communities and reunite with their children. To date, Ethical Bean has raised over $56,000 for Project Somos.
On a more local note, we support dozens of community groups and events in Vancouver and across Canada—including the Vancouver International Film Festival, Bike to Work Week, and the Union Gospel Mission.
