- "My mother wishes me to let Lord Eddard join the Night's Watch... stripped of all titles and powers, he would serve the realm in permanent exile. And my Lady Sansa has begged mercy for her father. But they have the soft hearts of women... so long as I'm your King treason shall never go unpunished! Ser Ilyn, bring me his head!"
- ―King Joffrey sentences Lord Eddard to die.
The Execution of Eddard Stark is a pivotal event in the nascent conflict caused by the death of Robert Baratheon, paving the way for its transformation into a full-fledged civil war.
- "I know the truth Jon Arryn died for."
- ―Eddard Stark to Cersei Lannister
Robert is fatally wounded and names Joffrey as his successor. Ned does not reveal the truth to Robert, but instead contacts Robert's younger brother and true heir, Stannis Baratheon, to inform him. Meanwhile, Cersei and Joffrey seize the throne. Securing help from Janos Slynt and Petyr Baelish, Ned challenges Cersei and orders her and her children arrested, but Slynt and Baelish have already been bribed by the Lannisters and they turn on Ned, resulting in his men being massacred and him imprisoned.[1]
While in the dungeons, Ned is visited by Varys, who informs him that his son, Robb, has called all of House Stark's banners to march on King's Landing and free him, and though Arya has escaped, Sansa is still the Lannisters' hostage. However, Varys also claims that Cersei has promised that if Ned confesses to his "treason" and orders Robb to stand down, he will be spared and sent to the Night's Watch; Ned initially refuses to sully his honor by making such false confession, but reluctantly changes his mind after Varys points out that Sansa's life is at stake.[2][3]
False confession and execution
- "I am Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Hand of the King. I come before you to confess my treason in the sight of gods and men. I betrayed the faith of my King and the trust of my friend Robert. I swore to protect and defend his children... but before his blood was cold, I plotted to murder his son... and seize the throne for myself. Let the High Septon and Baelor the Blessed bear witness to what I've said. Joffrey Baratheon... is the one true heir to the Iron Throne... by the grace of all the gods, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm."
- ―Ned Stark
Ned is taken by two Gold Cloaks before the King and his entourage, while the people of the city gathered yell insults at him. Aware of his daughter's pleas, he relents and gives the false confession the Queen demanded: confessing his plot to murder Joffrey and seize the throne for himself.
The Grand Maester intervenes and after speaking of the justice and mercy of the gods he asks the King what will be done with the traitor. The people yell out in anger until Joffrey holds out his hand to speak. He mentions that his mother wishes to let Eddard join the Night's Watch and live the remainder of his days at the Wall, stripped of lands and titles, while his betrothed, Lady Sansa, has begged mercy for her father. However, Joffrey dismisses the two as soft-hearted women and promises that, for as long as he's King, treason will never go unpunished. Then he turns to Ser Ilyn and demands Ned Stark's head.
The crowd calls out for Ned's death. Sansa desperately begs for her father's life, only to be restrained by a Kingsguard. The Queen also asks her son to reconsider his sentence. Varys also runs to the King, who remains adamant in his decision. Lord Eddard is pushed to his knees by two Kingsguard, and Ser Ilyn puts on a black hood to conceal his face. He then swings Ice, the greatsword of House Stark itself, and takes the head of the Lord of Winterfell.[3]
- "Renly Baratheon is nothing to me, nor Stannis neither! Why should they rule over me and mine from some flowery seat in the south? What do they know of the Wall? or the Wolfswood? Even their gods are wrong! Why shouldn't we rule ourselves again? It was the dragons we bowed to... and now the dragons are dead. There sits the only king I mean to bend my knee to... the King in the North!"
- ―Jon Umber
However, with Jaime a hostage of Robb Stark and cut from the Westerlands, Tywin decides to retreat to Harrenhal and orders Ser Gregor Clegane to keep sacking the Riverlands from Gods Eye to the Red Fork. He also sends Tyrion to the capital to rule as Hand of the King in his stead and rein in Joffrey and his mother. Tywin also warns Tyrion that if he finds any hint of treasonous actions by Baelish, Varys, or Pycelle, he is to have them executed.
Meanwhile, when the news of Ned's death reach the Northern and River lords, they choose not to support either of Robert's brothers, declaring independence from the Iron Throne under the rule of Robb as King in the North.[4]
After receiving Ned's letter, Stannis notifies all of Westeros about Joffrey's parentage, declares himself King of the Seven Kingdoms and resolves to take the Iron Throne and rule over the same kingdom that Robert once did, and destroy any who stand in his way.[5]
Long afterwards, in Braavos, Ned's execution is portrayed in the play "The Bloody Hand" in a ridiculous manner. The crowd is amused, but Arya is deeply saddened.[6]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the execution occurs in an almost identical fashion to the TV series. There are only small differences, such as the fact that the High Septon is the one who speaks of the justice and mercy of the gods, and he and Varys protest Joffrey's decision to execute Ned. The book also gives no indication that Ned spotted Arya in the crowd or instructed Yoren to protect her; Yoren seems to find her by chance.
Slynt has more active part in the books at Ned's execution: he gives the command to the Gold Cloaks to fling Ned to the marble, to be beheaded (this is the scene from Arya's POV; Sansa recalls that Slynt did it himself). In the fifth novel, while Cersei performs the walk of atonement, it is revealed in her flashback that Slynt lifted Ned's severed head after the execution; this detail is not mentioned from Arya's and Sansa's POV.
Ser Barristan Selmy is present at the execution in the guise of Arstan Whitebeard, though this is not revealed until "A Dance With Dragons", after he has joined the service of Daenerys Targaryen. Barristan notes that afterwards he went into the Sept and thanked the Seven that Joffrey has stripped him of his cloak. When Daenerys angrily denounces Eddard as a traitor who rebelled against his rightful king, Barristan tells her that Eddard was against the murder of her family and the assassination attempt on her and her son, but she still considers him equally responsible and labels him as one of the "Usurper's dogs". Ser Barristan is annoyed by this and doesn't agree with his queen, but remains silent as it is not his place to speak.
It is also mentioned in the books that the High Septon and the Faith of the Seven are outraged that the execution was performed on the steps of the Sept, profaning the holy site with blood in their eyes, as well as irreparably damaging the Crown's relations with the Faith (as Cersei had assured the High Septon beforehand that Eddard would be allowed to live after he confessed his treason, only to then appear a liar in the High Septon's eyes). Even several years after Eddard's death, members of the Faith (such as the High Sparrow) would continue to berate Cersei for allowing Joffrey to commit such a wanton act of sacrilege on a holy site.
While Cersei performs the walk of atonement, she muses that Joffrey made a terrible mistake by commanding to execute Eddard; had he lived and joined the Watch, the North would have not gone to war, and Tywin would have dealt with Robert's brothers.

Boss Chick Rasheeda Frost has fans saying cuteness overload after she shared a sweet photo with her little boy, Karter, and her grandson, Kayden.
However, some fans thought it was Kirk's love child with Jasmine Washington — baby Kannon. In case you were not aware of it, Kirk Frost and his wife are grandparents.
Bernice Burgos is not the hottest granny in the game, after all, Rasheeda is. Rasheeda, of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta fame, has an adorable grandson named Kayden Frost.
Cherry Nicole is Kirk's oldest daughter and gave birth to Kayden in 2012. About a year later, Rasheeda and Kirk had a baby boy of their own — Karter.
Therefore, Karter is younger than his nephew, but the little boys are inseparable and are often together playing like two brothers.
Rasheeda shared a cute picture where she is chilling with her son and grandson and captioned it: "My loves … I told them I gotta go to Pressed they said wait chill with us before you leave!"
A supporter told Rasheeda: "Really hope she loves Kirk from a distance and continues her life's journey.Just getting a chance to catch up on LOve & Hip Hop this season and I have THe EPITOME of respect for you!! Keeping the kids 1st priority! Wishing you the best!!!! Beautiful kids beautiful Rasheeda, you are a sexy and young granny."
Another commenter claimed: "Beautiful family boss lady. Is that Kaden?? As black women…we are indestructible because we try to do what's right..in spite of how heartbroken we my be. . Been there…done that…it wasn't easy. But I'm stronger because of it…praying for your strength. No matter what ur going thru u always handle it with style, grace, and dignity.I love u and u r truly a boss.No disrespect, but Kirk is a jerk.Do you have three sons? Did I miss the baby news? Is that Kannon, the sidekick baby boy?"
A third person explained: "No that's the step-grandson. We all make a mistake happy family with you and your Husband. A mother's love to our children comes first. Salute a real woman. She is so classy and mature! She's a REAL boss! She legit is MY IDOL! Business owner, mogul, mother, grandmother and all around GREAT person! Love Rasheeda!"
Rasheeda will meet Kannon next week.

Jk ... no I am not a memebr of the Methodist church, but I would mention that the children I was talking about are not baptised.
and those allowed to communicate include those who haveno understanding of what they are doing.
on 3/4/08
Alan of Uk:: Friend many denominational institutions have their own degrees of understanding.IMHO a child only comes to the age of reason age 7.which is the beginning of ones journey to comprehension.To introduce HIS word, to this growing mind seems appropriate.This is an RCC teaching which is used as a guide in all RC schools and churches.

**But I am concerned at the policy of a nearby (Methodist) church which allows all chidren to partake, on the basis that they should not be excluded.**
Are you a member of this Methodist church? If not, it's none of your business.
In Eastern Christianity, infants are baptized and brought up to communion from that time.
on 3/4/08
Only those who has been saved through the Blood of Jesus Christ, my friend. The heart I do not know about. The Blood I do know about. And this, His Blood, is what gets me through every single day of my life. Nothing but the Blood. Lets all of us stop mocking God's Blood. It is the only thing that will keep you out of HELL. The firy fires of HELL. My friends. The cross is not something that we should shun. Hell is something that we should all shun.++

Communion is celebrated in churches which do not have the formality of baptism. My own Anglican church says that anyone who has accepted Jesus can partake, and I like that. But I am concerned at the policy of a nearby (Methodist) church which allows all chidren to partake, on the basis that they should not be excluded.
on 3/4/08
The rule in the Church of England is that those who have been confirmed can take Communion, however, the moderator is correct when he says that only those who love the Lord should take it. In non-conformist churches this is usually made clear to the congregation at each communion service.
on 6/21/07
To eloy, let's see, what did JAMES say was pure religion? James C-1 Verse-27 I wonder how many are truly doing this.
on 3/14/06
I do not know what the questioner had in mind, but in the UK, infant means a child under the age of 7.
Some here recall their children accepting Christ when they are younger than that. Presumably then they could be eligible to take communion as believers?
on 3/14/06
Infants are encapable of understanding the meaning of communion. Why would they need to take communion?
on 3/10/06
sal, the caution Paul states for communion takers is that, If you're hungry and thirsty then eat at home, rather than come together in church and greedily eat and drink the communion even before all have their portion and even before the prayer of thanksgiving is offered, because it is disrespectful. I have not witnessed infants taking communion, but I would think that the parent would have to give the communion to the infant seeing as the infant probably is not able to eat and drink on their own.
on 3/10/06
sal, look up and read the scripture passages I cited below.

Does Gerber make a Communion Baby food for infants?
on 3/10/06
1Cr 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. v.29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. Some churches read out these verses before inviting 'those who love the Lord' to partake. This makes it clear that it is not meant for EVERYONE to take.
on 3/10/06
Eloy, you just make up your own rules. the Word does not imply that the little children be infants partaking in communion. Go back and read scripture about communion.
on 3/9/06
Giving an infant communion is very much not according to God's Word. An infant knows nothing of the meaning of communion and that is a must! Never in my life, even when I was a catholic, did I ever hear of an infant receiving communion. This sounds sacrilege.
on 3/9/06
Alan, the Methodist Church is going down-hill rapidly. Its teaching has been watered down over the last 30 or more years to a point where it is now almost unrecognisable as being the Church that I once knew.

O' vain people who think they can regulate God's grace, and dictate who gets to partake of God's grace and who doesn't. Religion is sin. People should not take something as simple as communion and turn it into religion. Please know that God hates religion and ceremony and formality, for this is all vain and lacks the virtue of God. All are welcome to the Lord's table, and especially the children, for of such is the kingdom of God. Please read Matthew 23:13; Luke 18:15-17.

Mima ... Why does congfirmation raise a red flag?
on 3/9/06
Looking to the Bible as my first source of why to or not to do something, I would think research there would be the best answer. Jesus said we should "do this" (take communion[a word also not there])"in remembrence of me". How could any person, big or small, be justified in taking communion if they did not have knowledge of Jesus and His place in our lives?
on 3/8/06
Any non-Christian of any age should not take communion. Communion is a commerative act that a Christian takes part in as a reminder of what Christ did for them. To the non-christian, since they haven't accepted what Christ did for them, communion means nothing. It has nothing to do with salvation nor will a person get "points" from God by taking communion.

The fact that you give confirmation a prominent role in your question, waves a red flag at me. And makes me question your understanding of true salvation. Certainly a child should not take part in communion until they have some understanding of what communion means. Also I do not find the word "holy" communion in the Bible. Perhaps it is there but I have not recently seen it.

Hillary Dixon
Class of 1999
Portland, OR
Hillary Dixon grew up in Boise, Idaho. After touring a number of other schools in the Pacific Northwest, Dixon settled on Lewis & Clark because of both the beauty of the campus and the atmosphere of the classes she experienced as a prospective student. As an English Literature major, Dixon worked on the college's literary magazine during her junior and senior years. She studied abroad in England, which she says allowed her to be more aware of diverse life experiences and viewpoints. Being on the L&C campus also taught her to be comfortable in a variety of situations because of the people and experiences she encountered as a student.
After graduation, she returned to England. She spent a year as a intern for the British Museum and Bloomsbury Publishing. She returned stateside for a year while pursuing her M.A. in English from Boston University. After her master's program, Dixon went back to England to work for a small environmental internet company that established an online market for industrial waste streams. Dixon returned to Portland in 2002 and began working in social services focusing on survivors of domestic violence. She currently works for the YWCA in their domestic violence shelter and at the Gateway Center for Domestic Violence Services.
Dixon feels enormously privileged to have had a Lewis & Clark education. She feels the best way she can repay the gift is to foster current and future classes and to outreach other alumni, and is joining the Alumni Board to do just that.

Dive Summary:
- Students at five Pennsylvania state universities including Kutztown, Shippensburg, Edinboro, Slippery Rock and Millersville are now allowed to carry concealed weapons.
- The policy change comes after concerns from attorneys in the state's Office of General Counsel and the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education that outright bans on concealed weapons could be considered unconstitutional and open to lawsuits.
- Though the policy allows students to carry weapons on campus, they are still barred from bringing them into school buildings and athletic events.
From the article:
... Kutztown President F. Javier Cevallos emailed students, faculty and staff about the change on Thursday night. The email message said: "While I am cognizant of the concerns associated with this change, as a state institution we must follow the advice of legal counsel and do what is necessary to comply with the Second Amendment. I can assure you that we have done everything to implement the strongest policy possible, while staying in compliance with constitutional rights." ...

Republican lawmakers in several states are blunting plans by GOP governors to reduce or eliminate income taxes, putting the legislators at odds with figures many in the party see as leading voices on reshaping government.
Friction over tax policy within the GOP has flared in states such as Louisiana, Nebraska, Kansas and Ohio, as Republican lawmakers raise concerns over projected revenue losses from income-tax cuts. Three of those states shelved big income-tax cuts that would be paid for by broadening the sales tax, and in Kansas, legislators will return next week to a continuing debate over the size and speed of proposed cuts.
This is an income tax vs. consumption tax fight, with legislators being leery of raising sales taxes to offset income tax cuts. There are loopholes that can be closed too in order to achieve some balance in most states. Personally, I feel that people should be able to keep more of what they earn, which gives them the freedom to spend it or not spend it as they see fit. Incremental increases in income taxes generally make consumers skittish to spend at all, while incremental increases in sales taxes tend to irritate them, but not cause panic. The slight hit people got in their take home pay as a result of the deal made by Congress and the president at the beginning of the year has been bogging down the economy even further for four months now.
There are those who would argue that a reduction in income tax is never a bad thing. I'm so old I remember when most Republicans would fit that description.

Call of Duty's social channels have been dramatically changed, only days out from when fans expect a reveal for the 2019 game, rumored to be titled 'Modern Warfare'.
On May 28, the official Instagram page for Call of Duty was wiped entirely, with all posts temporarily archived, and their Twitter and Facebook accounts were updated with new profile images.
The images are simply all black, with the exception of a new, and very plain, Call of Duty logo, giving away very little about what fans can expect from the next title.
One thing is for sure though - the yearly Call of Duty hype train has officially departed the station, and is now accepting passengers.
Long-time fans of the series have been expecting a teaser of some kind for weeks, with first glimpses at the new CoD game usually given earlier in May each year.
If leaks are accurate, we will be getting our first look at 'Modern Warfare' on May 30, which is said to be a "soft reboot" of the MW franchise.
Other details are scarce, but according to sources, the game's campaign will be "inspired" by Modern Warfare 2's "No Russian" - the controversial mission which put players in the position of a terrorist carrying out a mass shooting at an airport.
This mission, unsurprisingly, caused plenty of debate, and YouTuber LongSensation suggests that the upcoming Modern Warfare (not to be confused with 2007's CoD 4: Modern Warfare, or 2016's Modern Warfare Remastered) will be the "most controversial" yet.
Although there may be a teaser of some kind on May 30, it's unclear how much this will explain and how much will be kept under wraps, as Call of Duty is also attending E3, and will likely release more information there.

In an increasingly competitive marketplace, more and more brands are waking up to the benefits of content marketing.
A cost-effective tool in the content marketing armoury, it's no wonder that, according to HubSpot's 2013 State of Inbound Marketing Report, blogs rank in the top three channels to watch in coming years (along with social media and SEO).
The same report found that: "While blogs require roughly 9% of marketers' total full-time staff dedications, they also demand just 7% of marketers' total budget outlay." Impressive stuff when you consider that "43% of marketers generated a customer via their blog with less than 10% of total time allocation."
The Benefits of A Blog
A cost-effective marketing and communications tool blogs can:
- Help with Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). Providing a drip-feed of fresh content. Find out more about why content is so powerful here.
- Help support your social media efforts. Giving you something of value to share with your followers.
- Provide an opportunity to generate lovely back-links to your website (and Google loves a back-link).
- Play a key role in your interaction with customers, employees, the media and other stakeholders.
- Help you to differentiate your business, product or service.
- Help to position you as an expert. Demonstrating your knowledge and experience on the issues that matter to your industry.
- Create an additional avenue to distribute and promote your company's press releases.
- Help increase visitor numbers to your website. Increased visitors = increased sales opportunities.
- Lead to increased brand awareness. Providing a current and informal channel to shout about what you stand for.
There's no denying that blogs present the perfect opportunity to help businesses and other organisations make the most of their marketing investment. And maximise ROI. Blogs give you a voice. And when used in conjunction with other marketing channels that voice can be heard.
However, a word of caution before you put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). It's true that blogs are a cost-effective marketing tool, but that doesn't mean that no effort is required. As with everything in life the more you put in, the more you are likely to get out.
How to write an effective business blog
- Make it personal and add real personality to your business, products and services. This doesn't mean that you should employ 'textspeak', or forget all about spelling and grammar, but you should be honest and passionate when writing your blog. Keep it professional, but find your voice and lead with your personality. This, in turn, will build better trust with your readers.
- Choose the right topic. Sounds obvious doesn't it? However, when writing a blog you not only have to know your subject but also inspire your readers. If you're not passionate about the subject at hand how can you expect anyone else to be? This doesn't mean you have to be controversial for controversy sake. Business blogs should help you to draw traffic, support your organisation and sell your product or service. Picking a fight just for the sake of it won't help with these objectives.
- Write for the reader and encourage conversation. Think about 'hot topics' and what matters to them. The best blogs create discussion and debate. Of course, this does mean that you are allowing disagreement and negative comments, but you can place all comments for review to ensure that you can censor anything too damaging.
- Offer your reader benefits and give them something for nothing. That could be original research, top tips, quantitative analysis or summaries, reviews and timesavers. The more you give away the more likely they are to revisit your site and use you as an authoritative source.
- Use plain English. Write with a specific person in mind and think about how you would talk to them directly. Avoid jargon and acronyms. Instead, give them the information they want in a straightforward and intelligent fashion.
- Keep it updated. To reap the benefits of a blog requires not only the ability to create engaging, informative content, but also the time to do so on a regular basis. Although you don't need to blog every day your content does need to be updated regularly to keep it fresh.
Blog writing can be a difficult but rewarding task. By creating original, regular content from your viewpoint based on your expertise you can start to develop real customer currency by getting your messages in front of the right people.
If you'd like your organisation to benefit from a blog but don't know where to start, or if you're finding it difficult to find the time to write blogs as often as you'd like, I can help.

Newswise — MAYWOOD, Ill. – (September 25, 2014) Whether states should legalize marijuana for recreational and medical use is a hot topic across the country. As the debates continue a potentially dangerous environment is being created where more preteens, teens and young adult are beginning to use the substance with the feeling that it is safe. In fact, 36 percent of all seniors in high school and 7 percent of eighth-graders report using the drug in the past month, according to a recent study. Though public perception is that marijuana is a harmless drug, research is showing it can have a damaging impact on developing brains and may lead to life-long addiction.
"Teens are seeing marijuana as a safe substance, but its effects on the adolescent brain can be dangerous, especially if there is heavy use. As the stigma of marijuana use becomes less the number of teens using the drug has increased. More high-schoolers in the U.S. now smoke marijuana than they do cigarettes," said Garry Sigman, MD, director of the adolescent medicine division at Loyola University Health System and professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine.
Marijuana is an addictive substance and, according to Sigman, adolescents are 2-4 times more likely to become dependent on the drug within two years after first use compared with adult users.
"Marijuana is the most common substance addiction being treated in adolescents in rehabilitation centers across the country. Like all addictive substances, marijuana is used to lessen uncomfortable feelings like anxiety and depression. Because the type of addiction is seen as less 'intense' in comparison to other substances such as cocaine or heroin, many people don't realize that marijuana can cause dependence and has a withdrawal syndrome," Sigman said.
Some adolescents use marijuana only occasionally because of peer pressure at a party or in a social setting, but others self-medicate with marijuana to cope with emotions and stress. One of the signs of a substance-use disorder is when drugs are used often to cope with uncomfortable feelings.
Addiction isn't the only hazard for adolescents when it comes to smoking marijuana. Research shows that heavy use can lead to neurotoxicity and alternations in brain development leading to:• Impairment in thinking• Poor educational outcomes and perhaps a lower IQ• Increased likelihood of dropping out of school• Symptoms of chronic bronchitis• Increased risk of psychosis disorders in those who are predisposed.
"Parents should inform themselves about the scientific facts relating to marijuana and the developing brain and be able to discuss the topic calmly and rationally. They need to explain that the dose of the drug in a 'joint' is three to four times higher than in years past, and that if the parents occasionally used during their lives, they now know that the risk is present if used before adulthood," Sigman said.

Who am I?
White-striped anemone
How can you tell it's me?
I've got a distinctive orange column with white stripes surrounded by many small white tentacles that I use to catch my prey.
Where is the best place to find me?
I am one of the most common anemones and you can find me on rocky reef and on jetty pylons throughout the Bay.
Why am I important for Port Phillip Bay?
I am a carnivore who eats larvae of some invasive species, preventing them from settling on artificial structures.
Photographer/social media links – Chris McArdle
Giant spider crab
I'm the biggest crustacean in Port Phillip Bay; I'm mostly orange with long legs and a hard, rough carapace. Algae and sponges on my back sometimes help me blend into my environment
I live a rather solitary life in the deeper parts of Port Phillip Bay but I aggregate in shallow waters in different parts of the Bay (e.g. St Leonards, Blairgowrie, Rye) at certain times of year. If you have a thick enough suit to brave the cold waters of Port Phillip Bay at the end of Autumn, you can find me at Rye or Blairgowrie, with thousands of my friends. We seek safety in numbers as we need to get rid of our carapace to grow.
The spider crab aggregations provide a lot of food for other marine creatures. Big rays, Port Jackson sharks and more love a soft, freshly moulted crabs, but smaller critters such as shrimps and sea stars also feast on bits of flesh attached to the old carapaces and on the crabs that are not luck enough to make it through the adventure
How can you help understand me better?
You can report your sightings (including date, time, number of crabs, location and depth) on the "Spider Crabs Melbourne" Facebook page and help track the crabs' movements.
Weedy sea dragon
I've got a long body with leafy growths and beautiful iridescent coloured spots and stripes. I've got a long snout and I am tricky to spot amongst seaweeds, hence my name. If you are lucky to see me during the breeding season, you'll notice some bright pink eggs under my tail if I am a male
There are a few piers around the Bay where you can dive and snorkel to see me like Portsea, Flinders; Mushroom Reef is also a good spot to see me
With my bright colours and long body, I am one of the most popular fish of Port Phillip Bay. People come from far and wide to see me underwater and love the challenge of spotting me amongst seaweeds.
Why not join Dragon Quest? If you have an underwater camera, send your photos of me along with information on location, date and depth to the Victorian National Park Association. The spots on my body are unique and thanks to profile photos, scientists can identify me and my friends, which help knowing how much of us there are in different areas.

Verco's Tambja aka Verco's nudibranch
As a mollusc, I have a soft yellow body with sky-blue spots. I also have blue gills that you can sometimes see on my back and blue sensory organs on my head.
I am one of the most common nudibranch aka sea slug that can be found in Port Phillip Bay. I feed on a bryozoan, a small animal that forms little blue-green tufts and you'll find in any reef my food is found.
As a lot of my nudibranch friends, I am very picky in what I eat and my presence is a good indication that the environment is healthy. By identifying the areas I don't like anymore, scientists can find out where the environment might be changing
Do you have an underwater camera? Why not take part in the Victorian National Parks Association's Sea Slug Census. A few times a year, divers, snorkelers and beach goers exploring rock pools take on the challenge to spot and report as many of my sea slug friends as possible and send the photos with information about the observations (locations, depths, etc) to help scientists understand where sea slugs are found and how their environment changes.
Photographer/social media links – Gareth Dixon
Magnificent biscuit star
I've got 5 arms that are not as thin and long as most seastars and I've got colours that vary between purple, pink and red.
I am one of the most common seastar in the Bay. You'll find me in rock pools, and on rocky and sandy bottoms around the Bay
I feed on small plants and microbes that I find on the bottom of the ocean and help keep their numbers in check.
Photographer/social media links – Jack Breedon
Australian fur seal
I've got large eyes, a pointed face with long whiskers, little ears. My fur is brown.
Whilst I've been reported in different parts of the Bay, your best bet if you want to see me in and out of the water is to go to Chinaman's Hat, a man-made structure near the South Channel of Port Phillip. I love resting and basking in the sun there even though the platform gets pretty crowded!
As a top predator, I am an important part of a healthy ecosystem. I keep the populations of my preys in check like fishes, squids and octopus. I remove vulnerable prey that are old, sick, or injured, leaving more food for heathier ones to live and reproduce.
How can you help protect me better?
If you find a seal (or any other marine mammal) that is injured or entangled anywhere in Victoria, call the Marine Response Unit to report it so it can be rescued.

June, 2016
(Note: I've updated this post in July, 2018, after climbing Mt Tom once again. I've recently completed ascending all 48 4000-footers, and am going up a few again, in different seasons…)
A few days ago I began a new journey here: writing about climbing each of the 48 mountains in New Hampshire that are at least 4000 feet tall and, each time, reflecting a bit on the journey since I joined Peace Corps, 30 years ago: on development, social justice, conflict, experiences along the way, etc.
This series is tracing two long arcs:
— Climbing all 48 4000-foot mountains in New Hampshire, what is called "peak-bagging" by local climbers. I'm describing, in words and images, the ascent of each of these peaks – mostly done solo, but sometimes with a friend or two;
— Working in international development during the MDG era: what was it like in the sector as it boomed, and evolved, from the response to the Ethiopian crisis in the mid-1980's through to the conclusion of the Millennium Development Goals in 2015.
Over the next months, 46 more posts.
To skip the description of my ascent of Mt Field, and go directly to a description of a couple of the water projects we built during my two years in the Peace Corps in Ecuador, click here.
The Climb – Mount Field
The second of the 48 peaks that I summited was Mt Field, which is just south of Mt Tom. (My hike up Mt Tom was described in the first post of this series.) I went up both Tom and Field on 10 May 2016, leaving from Crawford Depot, as you can see on the map:
As I described it last time, the hike over from Mt Tom was pleasant and not too steep. But I got very nervous as I went, because of the increasing amounts of snow and packed ice on the path. Unexpected for mid-May!
The walk along the Willey Range Trail from Mt Tom to Mt Field was uneventful, except for the monorails.
I had planned to continue on to Mt Willey, another 1.4 mi from Field, but once I was on top of Field, it felt more prudent to give myself as much time as possible to get back down to Crawford Notch; walking along the ice was bad enough, but descending steeply was going to be a challenge.
So I will get up Mt Willey on another day! (As I did, in July of 2017, as described here!)
Neither of these photos show the ice, sadly, but the descent turned out to be every bit as challenging as feared. However, as I had neared the top of Mt Tom, I found myself on snow and then ice that had been packed by climbers over the winter. They call these "monorails" – areas of the trail that have been packed down so hard that they don't melt until late in the season.
Worse: after summiting Mt Field, dropping steeply down the Avalon Trail, I was forced to walk on a long monorail without any way to avoid it – the surrounding forest was too dense. My feet came out from under me, broke my walking pole, and wrenched my shoulder hanging on to a tree when my feet came out from underneath me. It's still sore as I write this.
I made sure to prepare better for the next few climbs, until I was 100% sure that the snow and ice was gone.
I climbed Mt Tom (and Mt Field) again, this time in the summer season, a bit over two years later. For a short description of that second climb, skipping my reflections on Potable Water in Ecuador, click here.
Potable Water in Ecuador
In my last post, I mentioned that I joined the Peace Corps on Valentine's Day, 1984, when I flew from Boston to Miami to begin two years of service in Ecuador. I described Peace Corps training briefly in the last post…
Once I arrived at my posting, in Azogues, capital of Cañar province, I began to oversee the construction of two water projects – in Cochancay (in the lowland area of Cañar province, near La Troncal), and El Tambo, in the highlands. I was very lucky that I was the only gringo in the province (at least for my first year), and the only Project Engineer other than the provincial director. The director told me, the day I arrived for work, that the materials for the project were on hand, the local people were ready to go, and he didn't want to see me until the projects were finished. So I had a lot to do, lots of responsibility.
I loved it.
Long-time readers of this blog may remember that I wrote about El Tambo two years ago – the tragic story of Noemi Ávarez Quillay, who had died in 2014 while trying to reach the United States. She had lived near El Tambo. I was very disturbed to read that,"…in Noemi's hometown there are clues about the forces at work in her story. In the district of El Tambo in Cañar province, her maternal grandparents, Mr. Quillay, 57, and María Jesús Guamán, 59, live in an adobe home with no running water…" Either the water system we built hadn't lasted, or Noemi lived "in the district" but outside the area served by the system…
But back in 1984, one of the most interesting parts of this project, for me, was that the water source was far away from town (8.8km): a spectacular lake (Culebrillas) with a remote Incan ruin on its banks. The work crew started by building the captation weir near the lake; they diverted the Culebrillas river while they built the weir. From there they worked back down towards town, digging a 1m trench, laying and gluing the PVC pipes as they went, and then covering it all up again.
For many weeks I visited the work site by driving up near the lake and walking several kilometers; later, as they approached El Tambo, it was easier to walk up from town. I vividly recall wondering at the spectacular beauty of the Andes mountains, that I was hiking in such amazing landscape, and "working"!
We built a simple treatment plant, with a chlorination hut, two slow sand filters, a 100m3 (26,000 gal) water storage tank, over 8km of tubing in the town itself, and 356 household connections.
Here are a few photos of the El Tambo project:
While technically similar (gravity-flow), the Cochancay project was quite different, mainly because it was on the coast while El Tambo was in the highlands. Cañar was an unusual province, with extensive mountain and coastal zones.
In those days at least, the culture of coastal Ecuador was very Caribbean, exuberant and loud, extroverted and busy. El Tambo was primarily indigenous, introverted and sombre. Stereotypes, of course, but that's how it felt.
The captation for the Cochancay system was in the jungle, a few kilometers the road from town. No scenic hiking in the Andes for me on this project! Driving to Cochancay was always a bit scary, as we dropped down from Azogues, at 2500m above sea level, almost to sea level, and there was almost always heavy, dense fog on the way down. I saw more than one terrible accident on that road (which was the main highway between Cuenca and Guayaquil).
Here again we built a simple treatment plant, with a chlorination hut, two slow sand filters, a 100m3 water storage tank, over 7km of tubing in the town itself, and 361 household connections. These two projects were of very similar sizes; one difference was that here in Cochancay, with a much warmer climate, the system was designed to provide 50% more water per person than in El Tambo, up high in the cooler mountains.
Here are a few photos of the Cochancay project:
Here I've written about helping to bring potable water to two rural communities – and, in fact, in 1990 only 62% of rural Ecuadoreans had access to improved water sources. So the work we were doing in El Tambo and Cochancay was urgent and important.
But one common thread of these posts will be how much things have changed – mostly for the better – since I began this journey. In this sense, then, the world has changed: by 2010, nearly 90% of Ecuadoreans living in rural areas had access to improved water sources.
More on that theme – how much the world has changed – in a future post!
But first, what did I learn from El Tambo and Cochancay? So many things! About the importance of community organization. About how important it was to charge a nominal fee for a basic, sufficient allocation of water, and increasing marginal costs for more use, to encourage conservation. And I learned a lot of Cañari Spanish!
But from an engineering point of view, I was also learning. As a "mechanical" engineer, this was really the first time I had built such large concrete structures, and the two 100m3 tanks we built in El Tambo and Cochancay seemed way over-designed.
In my next post, covering my hike up Mooselauke, I will begin to tell the story of the water system we built in San Rafael – a village across the valley from El Tambo, affected by water-born typhoid, where we built Ecuador's first ferrocement water tank. A 70% reduction in cost when compared with the reinforced concrete tanks we built in El Tambo and Conchancay. And we designed and built a Cretan Sail windmill to pump water for the system.
Stay tuned!
Second Season, Second Climb
I climbed Mt Field again on 19 July, 2018, after having completed all 48 of New Hampshire's 4000-footers earlier that month; Mt Jefferson was my final climb – stay tuned for my blog about that!
I wondered how it would feel to start the cycle anew: it felt good! It had been a bit over 2 years since I had climbed Tom and Field, and some things were different… This time it was mid-summer instead of late spring, so no snow or ice on the ground. And, this time, I climbed Mt Field first, going around Avalon and A-Z trails clockwise instead of counter-clockwise as I had done in 2016.
It was a spectacular day, clear skies and cool temperatures. I drove up from Durham, leaving at 7am, arriving at the trail-head in Crawford Notch about 2 1/2 hours later. Since I had climbed Tom and Field last time, I had established a tradition of stopping for coffee and a Subway sandwich on the way north – which I did this time, too.
It was a beautiful summer day, warm and clear, with great views from the tops. As I hiked up, I did notice many more tree-falls than I had remembered, perhaps due to the severe storms we had here in March 2018.
In my original article, above, I briefly mentioned having fallen on ice and wrenching my shoulder. That was descending from Mt Field; this time, going up Mt Field, I came across that area and took a moment to reflect on having learned my lesson!
I left Crawford Station at 10am, and headed up the Avalon Trail:
Evidence of high winds, that I don't remember having seen two years earlier:
After 40 minutes, I came to the junction with the A-Z Trail. Here I would continue on the Avalon Trail, left, to reach Mt Avalon and then Mt Field. In 2016 I had gone right here, up to Mt Tom first:
The trail became very steep. I took one wrong turn near here, in the middle of a big and recent tree blow-down, and had to double back. Lost 15 minutes or so, and some sweat!
At 11:15am I reached the top of Mt Avalon, with fantastic views towards the Presidential Range:
And down Crawford Notch:
And over to Mt Tom, which I would reach after first getting to the top of Mt Field:
Down off of Mt Avalon, I rejoined the Avalon Trail and continued another mile to Mt Field:
The top of Mt Field was crowded, and unremarkable. There were a couple of groups of parents and young hikers – good to see them up here, but I decided to have half of my lunch nearby rather than at the summit cairn. Which is surrounded by trees, anyway!
Near the summit there is one view north, towards the Mt Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods. It was just after noon, and there was another hiker enjoying her lunch:
I had half of my Subway sandwich here, and then got back onto the trail, now moving on the Willey Ridge Trail towards Mt Tom:
Climbing Mt Field again was great, especially because it was a glorious day. I was able to note where I had fallen last time, on the mid-May snow of 2016, wrenching my shoulder, but generally it was a very peaceful and happy day.

HuffPOST Miami | January 29, 2014
County commissioners are scheduled to make significant changes this week, including upgrading taxis and the technology inside them. Unfortunately, sometimes the most well-intentioned legislation creates unintended consequences when involving new technologies.
The clear legislative intent underlying the all proposed credit card regulations and prohibitions on certain rates, charges or fees is to protect both drivers and passengers from arbitrary and capricious charges. This is honest and prudent legislation. Unfortunately, much of the proposed legislation does not contemplate emerging technologies.
Take e-hail: simply put, "e-hail" is real-time taxi hail initiated by a mobile phone application.
E-hail is also a fourth payment option for passengers: (1) cash, (2) installed in vehicle credit card devices, (3) PayPal and Square, (4) and now e-hail with a cloud-based credit card payment accomplished via the app.
How e-hail works: Drivers have no risk. There are no hardware costs, financing, subscriptions or monthly fees. There is no fare split. Drivers simply download a driver version of the app and wait to get e-hailed. The relationship does not to replace owner fleets, radio dispatch or other traditional methods of obtaining fares. E-hail simply serves as a potential for extra income for drivers during idle times or return trips.
Passengers pay for the hail when they successfully e-hail a cab. The passenger is aware of the charge for the e-hail because they download the app, agree to terms and conditions, and save their credit card info in the app.
The ride fare is determined by the governmentally regulated metered rate. The passenger can pay by either: (1) by credit card via the app, or (2) cash — if mandated by the local government. At the end of the ride, the driver inputs the metered rate in his app on his phone, the passenger accepts and adds the tip on their phone. There is no handing over of the phone or credit card to the driver. The transaction is sterile and occurs securely in the cloud. Thereafter, a receipt detailing all tips, fares, tolls and governmentally approved fees is emailed to the user. Finally, if a credit card is used, the tips and fares are transferred daily to driver's accounts or debit cards.
Concerns with the proposed regs:
1) Many of the proposals make it unlawful for any added "fees" to be "related to" transportation services as provided for a taxi. This section intended to avoid the arbitrary fees charged by some bad apples. Unfortunately, this overbroad section presents significant challenges for emerging technology services like e-hail because amending the code — particularly when it comes to for-hire vehicles — can be a cumbersome and stressful process. Moreover, if passed, this section may force existing providers of e-hail in Miami-Dade to stop offering their services.
A suggested solution would be for the proposals to permit the e-hail charge as an approved part of the "fare structure" as referenced in the proposed ordinance.
2) Next, the Credit Card Processing systems proposals set forth a regulatory regime which limits acceptable methods for accepting credit card payments to in-vehicle hardware connected to the taximeter.
The various versions mandate that taxicabs shall be equipped with a taximeter meeting the requirements described in this article and that any credit card processing system shall contain the fare charged, the name and telephone number of the passenger service company, the operating permit number and the telephone number for filing complaints with the Consumer Services. That makes total sense. Unfortunately, the proposals thereafter mandate that that the credit card processing system be affixed thereto a current valid taximeter and credit card processing system certification label, sticker or decal. This is cumbersome and hinders new cloud based technologies.
E-hail incorporates digital credit card processing technology, which is independent of credit card processing systems that will be operating within and affixed to a taxi and meter. It is a new payment option, which will be closed out by these new regulations as written.
The legislation should contemplate a provision for e-hail credit card processing services and passenger fees that are approved by Consumer Services based on emerging cloud-based industry standards. Like the traditional methods the legislation must also require the apps to list the fare charged, the name and telephone number of the passenger service company, the operating permit number and the telephone number for filing complaints with the County.

Xavier Simplifies Self-Driving CarsJune 20, 2017
Author: Mike Demler
Nvidia's next-generation Xavier processor is the first chip to integrate all the compute cores that a complete Level 4/5 autonomous-driving system needs. The new chip will power its third-generation Drive PX system for self-driving cars. The company plans to sample Xavier by 4Q17.
Nvidia plans to sample Xavier by the end of this year. The new product replaces up to four separate chips that power the Drive PX 2—two Parker processors and two discrete Pascal GPUs. This combination enables the system to handle Level 4 and Level 5 autonomous driving. The new SoC includes upgrades to the CPU and GPU, along with a new core dedicated to neural-network inferencing; the company calls this core a deep-learning accelerator (DLA).
Whereas Parker integrates a CPU complex that comprises two of Nvidia's custom 64-bit ARMv8-A CPUs coupled with quad Cortex-A57s, the new chip sports a completely custom eight-CPU configuration. The Xavier GPU uses the new Volta architecture, which adds matrix-multiplication units that accelerate deep-learning calculations.
Nvidia specifies Xavier to deliver a total of 30 trillion operations per second (TOPS) for deep learning while consuming 30W. By comparison, the four-chip Drive PX 2 system generates up to 20 TOPS. The PX 2 performs all of its calculations in floating point, however, whereas the new DLA is optimized for integer computation. To achieve this performance boost, the new Xavier design is a massive seven-billion-transistor chip that upgrades each of Parker's processor cores. The company plans to manufacture it in TSMC's custom 12nm FFN process, which it is also using for Volta.

My father and I were looking for a project, and now we've found one. It's a 1962 CJ-5, the engine and transmission were sitting where the rear bench should be, and there's large holes in the floor, but I already love it.
On another note, if anyone has experience with early year CJ's that would be great because we honestly have no clue what we're doing at this point.

An Eggcellent Eggsperiment
This week we have been looking at the effects of sugars and foods on our teeth by using eggs.
The children created a cracking eggsperiment. They left their eggs in different types of drinks to see what effects they had on the egg shells. Each different liquid had a different effect and I know the children will love to tell you all about it.
Have a brilliant weekend everyone.

(Sudbury – Feb. 6, 2019)
As most of you may have heard, LUFA recently received an arbitration decision regarding the employment contracts and leave for the former President, Dominic Giroux. As LUFA previously reported, we received questions 18 months ago regarding a rumour that Mr. Giroux had been granted a special leave and had not resigned from the university despite public statements that suggested the contrary.
Despite repeated requests during the summer and fall of 2017, the administration provided no response to the questions regarding the status of Mr. Giroux's relationship with the University. Consequently, LUFA became concerned that there was a secret deal that had been negotiated. We proceeded with a grievance in December 2017. The first day of the hearing was scheduled for May 2018.
The parties flew to Toronto and on the morning of the hearing the administration indicated that they could not proceed because they had not provided the required notice to Mr. Giroux and others. In their view Mr. Giroux and other parties were entitled to attend the hearing. As a result, the hearing was adjourned at a significant financial cost to LUFA.
The administration also requested that LUFA seek the information through the Freedom of Information (FOI) legislation instead of the Collective Agreement. Although LUFA had negotiated language for the expeditious exchange of information, we agreed to follow the FOI process, which is lengthier, on a without prejudice and without precedent basis. This would allow the parties to resolve the legal dispute regarding the need to make these requests through the CA rather than through provincial legislation.
LUFA filed a freedom of information request for access to Mr. Giroux's employment contract. While the administration disclosed the standard contracts they did not disclose the documents that outlined the terms of Mr. Giroux's leave. In the summer of 2018, LUFA received copies of these contracts. In December 2018, LUFA was informed by the employer that the former president was on an unpaid leave of indeterminate length with the right to return as a full professor in the bargaining unit and upon return would be entitled to a one year paid administrative leave. While the administration provided LUFA with these details they refused to disclose any documents which outlined these terms and conditions.
The arbitration proceeded on December 13 and Arbitrator Larry Steinberg rendered his decision on January 11 (attached). The administration argued that, since they have provided some of the terms to LUFA, the issue was now moot (a legal argument that can be made by either party, which alleges that there is no labour relations purpose to proceed given that the remedy was provided). LUFA argued that the matter was not moot because the parties still had a policy dispute as to whether the information could be accessed through the Collective Agreement instead of an FOI request. The arbitrator chose not to answer the question and decided that the matter was in fact moot. LUFA will have to resubmit a request through the CA and have the matter re-litigated in the future or dealt with through bargaining. Essentially the administration delayed the argument to another day, adding more cost to the process.
LUFA is dismayed with the lack of transparency that has resulted in lengthy and costly legal procedures to access what should be public information. In addition, the administration has refused to share the correspondence outlining the terms and conditions of the former president's possible return to Laurentian University.
The special deal for Mr. Giroux is disappointing given the administration's comments on austerity and the need to cut services and staff complement. LUFA is also concerned about the negative impact on the Faculty of Management's complement given that a tenured position must be held for him. LUFA intends to file a grievance challenging what we view as the improper granting of this leave.
We are urging the Board of Governors to disclose the terms and conditions of Mr. Giroux's leave as well as to develop a more transparent model of the appointment process, including terms and conditions, for Senior Academic Administrators. LUFA is in the process of reviewing the contracts of Mr. Giroux and other Senior Administrators, who appear to have been given special deals inconsistent with LU policies and the Collective Agreement. LUFA has filed several grievances with respect to the lack of collegiality and transparency. Despite some recent gains (see the attached decision from Arbitrator Burkett) we must continue to grieve to ensure compliance.

Are You CO Aware?
With the onset of colder weather, many households in the UK are turning on their heating for the first time in months. Heating appliances need chimneys and flues to work safely – and these can block up over the summer months. So autumn is traditionally the period when people get poisoned by carbon monoxide (although it can happen any time of the year!)
Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced when anything containing carbon burns or smoulders. For practical purposes, this means the burning of any kind of fuel, commonly:
- Gas
- Coal
- Wood/Paper/Card
- Oil/Petrol/Diesel – (All UK cars have a 'catalytic converter' in the exhaust system, which converts carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon Dioxide (CO2), which is less poisonous. However, these converters need to warmed up – a cold car produces fatal amounts of CO in the exhaust)
CO is very poisonous. Exposure to as little as 300 parts per million (that's just 0.03%) can prove fatal.
Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse can affect anyone and often its not readily disclosed on an ED admission. We must be alert to the fact some of our patients may be attending with domestic abuse. Please explore concerns and escalate if you're unsure. Our colleagues in the Pennine Domestic Violence Group have kindly drawn this a guidance up for us.

Paeds Liaison Form
The Paediatric Liaison Form has been updated
This form alerts the Paediatric Liaison Team to your concerns so that they can investigate and provide appropriate support to the child & family.
You SHOULD inform the family that you are completing the form as the Paeds Liaison Team or other agencies (e.g. social services or school nurse)may contact them.
You SHOULD NOT use this form for patients who have either suffered or at risk of significant harm. In this case you should discuss directly with the paediatric consultant on-call.
Underage Sexual Activity
This applies to all children/young people under 16 years old and those 16-18 years who are considered vulnerable, engaging in sexual activity. Getting this right is immensely challenging, as it is impossible to cover all variables influencing decision making within this guidance, further more you need to carefully weight the often conlicting needs of the child.

- Consider emergency contraception
- Children must have police referral for safeguarding
- Refer to The Sexual Assault Referral Centre, either via Police or Self referral
Drugs & Alcohol misuse in young people
Ending up in the ED as a result of alcohol and or substance use is NOT normal behaviour
- Children who use alcohol or other substances are hugely vulnerable to sexual exploitation and other forms of abuse.
- The use of alcohol or drugs can be encouraged as part of the grooming process, or as a means of coping with a difficult situation for the young person.
- It is also likely that friends and close acquaintances of the young person are equally vulnerable.
Sex, Bites, and Needle Sticks
First Aid (ALL)
- Encourage bleeding
- Wash with copious amounts of water or saline

On the latest episode of Blindspot, Jane (Jaimie Alexander) struggled with a secret from her past while the team had to try and prevent an international crisis.
If you're not up to date with Blindspot and like to avoid spoilers we suggest you don't read any further.
The previous episode also revealed that while the information about having a daughter was news to Jane, Weller (Sullivan Stapleton) had known for six months. Also we found out that what happened in Berlin was that he met Jane's daughter who is called Avery.
The promo trailer for episode 6 teases 'What else is Weller hiding?'. Surely he can't have even more secrets from Jane, or can he?
In the promo Weller is heard to say 'When she finds out the truth, it will destroy her'. That hints that he does indeed know more and that he's only keeping it secret as he thinks he's protecting his wife.
Watch the Blindspot 3×06 promo trailer below:
Here's the official synopsis of Blindspot 3×06 Adoring Suspect:
The team goes undercover on a movie set to stop a terrorist plot with unlikely backers. Roman blackmails Weller with a horrible secret about Jane.
