A reader writes: 'In my last letter, I called you a numbskull. However I should have qualified this with "sometimes you are a numbskull".' I must apologise for an example of my sometimes-numbskullery in this column last week when I asserted that Joe Chamberlain had opposed votes for women in Parliament in 1917. This would have been impossible, as he had been dead three years. I saw the 'Rt Hon. J.A. Chamberlain' in Hansard's division lists and lazily failed to check. J.A. was, in fact, Joe's son, Austen.
In the course of looking into my error, I learn that all Chamberlains (including Neville) inherited Joe's hostility to women's suffrage; but his daughter Beatrice, who campaigned for the Women's National Anti-Suffrage League (of which Gertrude Bell was hon. secretary), changed her mind because of the first world war. She became zealous for Unionist (i.e. Conservative) women's organisations, fearing that 'lively' women would otherwise be dragged into movements 'ostensibly outside politics, but in reality under Radical direction'. One feels she was on to something as one follows this week's coverage of the centenary of votes for women. If the version of history being promoted were the whole truth, one would have to believe that it was only radical women activists who won the day. This ignores at least two vital agencies. First, the all-male Parliament which, in the end, voted overwhelmingly for the change. Second, the fact that women's suffrage was not an isolated event, but part of a massive alteration in the idea of who should vote, which took a century to work through to all adult men and women. In the 19th century, the word 'reform', unqualified by any adjective, meant reform of the franchise, because the issue was so dominant. The extension of suffrage moved in stages from 1832 (under a Whig government) to 1867 (Conservative) — when John Stuart Mill tried to amend it to include votes for women — to 1884 (Liberal) to 1918 (Unionist/National Liberal) to 1928 (Conservative). The long story is a better advertisement for our parliamentary system than for throwing yourself under the King's horse at the Derby.
Nevertheless, I am proud of my great-aunt Kathleen Brown, who once hijacked a horse-drawn fire-engine in the suffragette cause and charged it down Tottenham Court Road clanging its bell. She did time in Holloway. She was also sent to prison in Newcastle for breaking a window in Pink Lane Post Office, and went on hunger strike. She was tiny and brave and I remember her for having hair so long she could sit on it. Would she have wanted to be pardoned by Jeremy Corbyn, as he now proposes? Surely the point of a pardon is to correct an individual injustice — because the person concerned did not commit the crime, for instance. It is not to apply a retrospective political view to what happened. When, in a free society, one breaks the law in order to change it, one is not absolved from punishment just because one acts out of conscience. Indeed, one accepts the state's right to punish ('I am ready to go to jail'). Why should suffragettes who broke ordinary law — criminal damage, assault etc — now have it formally and legally declared that they didn't? It is a form of victor's justice which reduces the law to a mere matter of power.
Don't let the craze for triumphalist feminism put you off going to see Nick Hytner's Julius Caesar at the Bridge Theatre. It is pointless that women act Cassius, Casca and one or two other parts, and that the text is altered to make these characters 'she'. It is annoying that this fashion is welcomed almost without challenge because no one dares. But it does not spoil the production's wonderful understanding of the power of the crowd. The mob is composed of many members of the audience, who have no seats, and are subtly choreographed by actors moving in their midst. This is not a gimmick: it is, one realises, the true context. If, as we did, you sit in the gallery, you can see Caesar, Brutus and Antony acting on the stage of politics just as dramatically as the actors are acting them. In that sense, it is a play within a play.
One of the pleasures of being a Catholic convert from Anglicanism is that I feel much warmer towards the Church of England than when I was in it. Last week, I went to a truly endearing Anglican ceremony in Westminster Abbey. After evensong, there was a short service to unveil a plaque in memory of the Chadwick brothers, Owen and Henry. Both were clergymen, both were Regius professors (Owen at Cambridge, Henry at Cambridge and Oxford). Both were tipped to be Archbishops, but preferred the life of the mind. They are the first brothers to be thus linked in an Abbey monument since John and Charles Wesley. Professor Eamon Duffy — who is, as his name hints, Catholic — gave a brilliant tribute to the two. He told how Henry, the mastermind of ARCIC — the Anglican/Roman Catholic conversations which did so much to break down theological barriers — collapsed at a conference in Venice. He woke up in hospital to find himself surrounded by ARCIC colleagues. 'I see I am not in Heaven,' he murmured. The inscription on the plaque describes the brothers simply as 'Priests and Scholars'. The Chadwicks were almost the last embodiment of that combination, in its distinctively Anglican form of sweetness and light.
I am overwhelmed by correspondence about the usage 'I am sat' (see Notes, 27 January). It is very learned, and comes down firmly on the side of strict grammar. Strict but, like most strict things, never wholly successful among the people: one anonymous correspondent kindly reminds me of the Tudor ballad, 'There were three ravens sat on a tree./ They were as black as black could be, / And one of them said to his mate/ Oh where shall we our breakfast take?'

Match Report
West Of England Premier League (Wilts Division)
Marlborough v Calne 30th May 2015
Marlborough 261-8: Calne 78 all out
Marlborough won by 183 Runs
Match Sponsor: Chris' Barbershop
Marlborough's Ben Head blew through the Calne batting line up on Saturday with a master class in spin bowling. Head took 5 wickets in just 24 deliveries for only 9 runs in which he also secured his first league hat trick with his last 3 deliveries of the day to secure Marlborough a very comfortable 183 run win.
Marlborough having been put into bat by the visitors were 83 for 4 when Marlborough Captain Arran Dickinson joined debutant Will Thomas at the crease. The pair slowly built on the Marlborough total with Thomas playing around Dickinson who despite Calne's defensive field settings regularly found the boundary.
The pair had shared in a 133 run partnership and had taken the home side to 216 -5 when Dickinson was eventually dismissed for 88. His innings had lasted for 76 balls and had included ten 4's and three 6's with the partnership putting Marlborough in a very strong position to secure their 4th successive win of the season. Thomas secured his debut half century and was next to be dismissed but with the lower Marlborough batting order all playing for the cause Marlborough posted 261-8.
Calne in reply got off to a bad start with Tom Nott being trapped LBW by Brad Frost 2nd ball and with Glen Robinson's dismissal 8 balls later when caught by Frost off Will Langton's bowling the visitors found themselves 3 for 2. Calne never recovered and with the dismissals of Sean Adams (21) and Matthew Richards (25) Calne were there for the taking.
Ben Head dismissed James Watson and Joseph Clare at the end of 17th over to set up his first hat trick opportunity which was thwarted by Richards on the first ball of Head's next over. Head however was to be rewarded 17 balls later with his first WEPL League hat trick when he dismissed Tom Crosby, Dale Goss and George Nott in the 23rd over to dismiss Calne for 78 and 183 runs short of the Marlborough total. Head finished with 5 for 17 off his 6 overs and was the pick of the Marlborough bowlers who again produced a team performance with all of them taking a share in the wickets.
Marlborough Captain Arran Dickinson was delighted with the win and to find that his side now topped the Wiltshire Division following Trowbridge's 83 run loss to Marshfield.
"It's been another great all round team performance today which was built around some good individual performances. The bowlers all responded well with the absence of George Fox and we always knew we had Ben (Head) up our sleeves. I'm also very pleased for Will (Thomas) in getting a half century on debut which I know is well deserved for all the hard work he has put in since arriving at the club. Going top this weekend is an added bonus but again is something I think we fully deserve based on our recent performances."

The City of Greater Bendigo has welcomed a Labor election commitment of $4.4M to further upgrade the Bendigo Airport terminal and precinct.
Should Labor win the election, the funds would assist in completing stage three of the airport redevelopment, which involves extending utilities access to land next to the new runway designated for future use by aviation-compatible businesses.
The funds would also go towards expanding the terminal building to accommodate future activity at the airport, including new flight routes, larger aircraft or other airlines wanting to operate out of Bendigo.
Mayor Cr Margaret O'Rourke said further redevelopment of the airport was a priority project for Council.
"The community's response to the launch of Bendigo to Sydney Qantas flights has been incredibly positive. We hope to have other routes or airlines operating out of Bendigo and it seems our community also wants this, so it will be necessary to have the infrastructure to support this demand," Cr O'Rourke said.
The City continues to seek $4.5M from the Victorian Government to also support the roll-out of these works.

How does my sense and understanding of beauty change when I look at a thing not primarly for what it is but simply, purely for its shape and form?
In a drawing the space in-between and around the drawn object is called "negative space". (Think of all the spaces between the different parts of a chair for example.) I played with the negative spaces of trees, starting with drawings and collages but soon realising the idea in "the real world". The way I looked at the trees was similar to the way a child treats his colouring book – interfering with the blank page, filling forms with colours. The installation was part of the outdoor art show "Kunstroute Lonneker", located in the trees above a pond in the woods.

Updated: Get involved by following our live Purple Day feed and tweeting your photos using #purpleday.
THE time has come to don the purple clothes, scoff the plum cakes and wave the mauve balloons in aid of the Chemotherapy Appeal.
Here at the North Devon Gazette offices we've pulled out all the purple stops and have kitted out the NDG offices with balloons and selling purple cakes and candles.
Plenty of places are going purple potty this year and it is looking like this one will be the biggest and best yet – but you still have time to join in the fun.
Staff and volunteers at North Devon District Hospital will be going for it big time, with numerous departments dressing in purple (where clinical duties permit) plus there is a Big Purple Day raffle. Tickets are available in the foyer and there are hampers, teddy bears and a hand-crafted handbag as prizes.
North Devon Council staff at the Civic Centre, the Big Sheep, both Barnstaple McDonald's restaurants, Parkside Barnstaple, Sainsburys, Tesco and many more will be getting involved.
In the town centre, Barnstaple Coffee Shop are selling purple cakes and East and West Bakery have pulled out all the stops with a fantastic balloon display.
Owner Graham Principe said: "We've hidden purple butterflies on some of the cakes - if you find one you wina £10 voucher and we'll donate £10 to the appeal."
In Green Lanes, volunteers are selling off raffle tickets to win a brand new car, and at Lloyds and Natwest banks there are purple cakes for all to enjoy.
Reporters Sarah Howells and Elliot Anderton are 'purpling' today and roaming Barnstaple with their cameras!

PORTUGUESE stone could be used to build parts of a new cafe and visitor centre on the summit of Snowdon.
Work on the £8.5m cafe and visitor centre on the top of Wales' highest peak is due to begin in September.
The Snowdonia National Park authority want to use Welsh materials "wherever possible".
Bosses claimed EU rules meant they cannot insist on local stone.
Last night Some people living in Snowdonia National Park said they were annoyed granite may be imported for the roof.
Beddgelert community council chairman Ken Owen said he was "bitterly disappointed" at the decision.
Snowdonia National Park said that most of the building's labour and materials would come from Wales.
Snowdonia National Park Authority chief executive Aneurin Phillips said "The authority has no control over the sourcing of the stone for the new summit building because of the guaranteed maximum price contract which was necessary to reduce the financial risk to the authority of such a major scheme.
"European rules also mean that we cannot insist that local stone is used or material from any particular source. We are, however, hopeful that over 60% of the building labour and materials will be from Wales."
Mr Phillips added the Portuguese stone met planning regulations but the contractor had yet to submit its proposal for stone for the walls and paving for the new building.
Last November the Snowdonia National Park authority announced the park raised enough money to build a new visitor centre on the top of Snowdon to replace the much-criticised current building.
Demolition is due to start in September before construction of the new centre throughout 2007.
Much of the cost of the building will be met by grant money, but a public appeal raised almost £350,000.

I'm a little bit in trouble with your choice for PCI-E Slot 4 : PCIE 3.0/2.0 x16_4 slot (x0/x8 mode)When I have HDMI connected, I can't change it to anything higher than 1280x720 without it losing its mind lol. Also, Final Cut "works" but there's issues (when I close a project it leaves a frame open)... if I cmd tab it crashes more often than not and if I export a file with quick frame changes- sometimes it destroys specific frames in the export. Latest FCPX from the App Store running latest Mojave.
Wanted to attempt to fix it today while I had a few hours lol
edit: just checked that link:
"Update: MacOS Mojave 10.14.5+ includes a major overhaul of the Vega GPU drivers which should resolve all the power and fan control issues with OEM Vega cards and thus should make the methods outlined in this guide no longer necessary. Although you can still use the method to apply a core and/or memory overclock"
For me you should choose better 3.0/2.0 x16_1 slot or PCIE 3.0/2.0 x16_3 slot (x16/x8 mode) or PCIE 3.0/2.0 x16_5 slot (x16/x8 mode) or I don't understand all ?

Filed under: Action, Announcement, Incarceration, Southeast
Join in a phone-zap to support hunger strikers in North Carolina at Scotland Correctional fighting prison torture.
This Hunger Strike is due to take place at Scotland Correctional Institution in Laurinburg, NC on July 31, 2019.
Grievances filed and notaries requested for legal actions at the conditions of confinement at this razor-wire plantation are being ignored consistently. Many of these grievances have revolved around Scotland denying those held captive of their recreation time. In response Scotland's staff claim that recreation is "canceled." Despite Chapter C, Section .1206 (B) of the NCDOC Policy and Procedures* stating that those on restrictive housing shall be allowed to rec outside of the cell five days out of the week for one hour a day. Scotland is in violation and causing severe harm to all of those who are forced to be confined to a small cell 24/7.
Furthermore, Scotland's so-called medical staff conduct what is called a "seg check" at 1am-2am every night when everyone is asleep. This seg check involves banging on everyone's window disrupting their sleep and startling them.
Call (910) 844-3078 and ask to speak to Captain Henderson and Superintendent Katie Poole
Record calls if possible. Leave long messages on voicemails. Call multiple times and disrupt their operations. Remember that denial and obstruction are standard operating procedures for them. Report any and all info received to [email protected]
Suggested call script:
"Hi my name is ________, the world is watching and is in support of the hunger strikers at Scotland Correctional Institution. We are well aware of your violations in denying them a legal notary and throwing out their grievances. Multiple grievances have been made against your "cancellation" of recreation despite your Policy and Procedures manual stating that those even on restrictive housing shall be allowed to rec outside of the cell for five days out of the week for one hour a day. Many humanitarian organizations have been informed on Scotland Correctional Institution's violations that directly torture those you force to be confined to a cell 24/7.
We have also been informed that Scotland's so-called medical staff has been conducting "seg checks" at unreasonable hours of the night, 1am-2am every night when everyone is clearly asleep. These seg checks involve medical staff banging on everyone's door, disrupting their sleep and causing further psychological harm.
These methods of torture will be widely exposed and we not quit until they have ceased."
*"Inmates assigned to Administrative Segregation, and Disciplinary Segregation, Intensive Control, Maximum Control, High Security Maximum Control, Protective Control, shall be allowed one hour per day, five days per week exercise outside the cell, unless safety or security considerations dictate otherwise. Medical authorities may grant exceptions to the five times per week exercise requirement for specific reasons. The exercising of an inmate or the inmate's refusal to exercise shall be documented on form DC-141." (https://www.doc.state.nc.us/DOP/policy_procedure_manual/C1200.pdf)

Aspire Feedlink Revvo Kit Description:
Aspire is proud to announce the Feedlink Revvo Kit, an all new Aspire squonk mod with a slightly redesigned Revvo boost tank. Yes, it's still the same out of this world Revvo tank with the awesome, innovative ARC coil but now coupled with a squonk mod, the Feedlink. The Feedlink is a single 18650 battery bypass firing mod with all the quality and safety features you have come to expect from Aspire. It's almost pistol grip feel makes it very ergonomic in the hand and easy to operate the squonk bottle and fire button with just one hand, an absolute joy to hold and use. In addition to the Feedlink mod there is the newly designed bottom feeding Revvo boost Tank. Aspire had already broken the mold for a tank with its new, flat Radial coil, and now it's even easier to fill with a bottom feeding squonk pin! The tank itself comes in a TPD compliant 2ml version, who needs any more capacity when just a squeeze of the squonk bottle will top up your tank, you don't even have to put it down.
The 'pistol grip' mod including the tank is ergonomically styled and fits snugly in the hand easy for left or right hand use.
The tank is simplicity itself to use, it has an ultra convenient bottom feed squonk pin system where you don't even have to open, unscrew, lift or otherwise adjust for filling. The tank has the same awesome adjustable airflow with three large air inlets and comes in a TPD compliant 2ml version with no need for a larger tank due to the squonk style bottom feed filling system, just squeeze the squonk bottle and it's filled and ready to go again.
This is simplicity itself, just an anti-clockwise turn of the bottle retaining screw with release the bottle carrier and the bottle. Remove the bottle from the carrier, unscrew the metal top-cap and feeder tube and fill with your favorite e-liquid. Replace the top-cap/feeder tube, reinsert into the carrier and replace into the mod, remembering to replace and tighten the bottle retaining screw.
Similar to the squonk bottle removal/refilling, just unscrew the battery cap in the base of the mod, insert a fresh 18650 battery, positive post upper most towards the top of the mod, replace the screw-in battery cap firmly and the mod is ready to use.
To fill or top up the tank, gently squeeze the squonk bottle until you can see your e-liquid rising into the tank, squeeze again to fill the tank to your requirements but don't try to overfill, remember you can top up easily with just another gentle squeeze or two. Once filled (just as with the original Revvo tank), if it's a new coil or the coil has become dry for any reason, invert tank to saturate the coil before vaping.

- 1x Feedlink Mod
- 1x 2ml Revvo Boost Tank

Jennifer Ann is an online store that offers a variety of chic clothing and accessories for infants, toddlers, and children. Their selection ranges from blankets, hats, head wraps, to leggings. Many of these products are available in a personalized fabric that displays a name in either print or cursive font. I especially like the look and style of their "slouchy" hats, which are cotton knit beanie hats that have a little room (and thus "slouch").
Jennifer Ann's products are handmade with U.S. organic cotton and the prints use eco-friendly water-based inks. You can tell that the stitching and sewing is made to last. These modern accessories would make unique gifts to welcome any new baby or chic play attire for the little tots.

What Having Corporate Event Entertainment Means for Your Company and Your Employees
When it comes to organizing a corporate event, you have to take care of a bunch of stuff to ensure that your event will become a success. One of the many essential factors when it comes to turning your corporate event into a success will be your choice of entertainment. One of the up sides of having entertainment for corporate events will have to be that you have a wide range of entertainment options to choose from. With these numbers, it will be all the more challenging to be able to find the best entertainment option to keep every guest you have invited well entertained. If possible, you must be keen on hiring only an entertainer who can be able to keep every guest you have invited entertained. Additionally, you should be extra cautious in your choice of entertainment, making sure that it will be a perfect fit to whatever intentions you have for your corporate event.
Unlike what most people think about corporate events, you should never assume that its aim is to build customer relations. You need to understand that corporate events have come to be owing to the fact that they can be a good time to bring together both employees and corporate leaders into one place for some fun and social time. By doing all of these things, they are able to freely exchange ideas that will be of benefit to the company in more ways than one. Having some entertainment during your corporate events will surely have some help in being able to bring about both networking and sharing in your corporate atmosphere. Never underestimate the power of having entertainment during your corporate events whether or not you will be organizing them. The thing about being happy in a corporate event is that people are led to interact with no restrictions. Once they interact freely, you can see social networking. By doing some networking, there is no doubt that you can get new business ideas for your company as well as new clients.
Hiring a comedian might be something that you consider doing during your corporate event. When hiring one, you must be sure to find a professional that can easily interact with the attendees that you have around and make them feel much more comfortable. By not hiring the right person for the job, there will be boredom during the event and for sure, not a lot of interactions can be made.
When it comes to entertainment for corporate events, always remember that you have several options. In getting entertainment for corporate events, do remember that you choose not just comedians but some motivational speakers, celebrities, and musicians. With these many options, the most important will be the one that can meet your objectives during your corporate event and remind the guests that they are there to also have some fun and interact with each other much better.
What You Should Know About Entertainment This Year

Opening at Portland's plucky occasional art house theater, the Nickelodeon Cinema, on Friday, "Let the Sunshine In" marks the first collaboration between two of the most important women of French cinema.
The teaming of director Claire Denis ("Beau travail," "35 Shots of Rum") and actress Juliette Binoche ("Three Colors: Blue," "Certified Copy," "The English Patient") is draw enough, one supposes, for film fans looking to see what the equally formidable cinematic talents will produce, especially since Denis's most recent film is essentially a showcase for the eternally fascinating Binoche. As Isabelle, a divorced artist with a young daughter and a complicated and frustrating love life, Binoche makes the heroine of "Let The Sunshine In" another of her roster of vivid, thrillingly alive women, even if Isabelle's fitful quest for love leaves her asking "Is this my life?" after the departure of yet another disappointing man.
For the acclaimed Denis, "Let the Sunshine In" is something of a career departure. Her filmography is one of visually evocative, often almost wordless tales of thwarted desire, missed or slipping connection and enigmatic motivations. In her exquisitely romantic 2002 film "Friday Night," a Paris traffic jam throws two people together by chance, their mutual, barely articulated growing attraction blossoming into one nearly perfect, isolated night of passion. Here, though, is her first take on what's essentially the romantic comedy, as the film – very loosely inspired by Roland Barthe's nonfiction rumination on longing, "A Lover's Discourse: Fragments" – follows Binoche's Isabelle through an episodic series of encounters that leave her, at various times, exhilarated, heartbroken, defiant and baffled.
There's a rich, married banker (Xavier Beauvois), flush with trifling desire and assumed privilege; an intense, also married actor (Nicolas Duvauchelle), wallowing in indecision and self-absorption; a gallery owner (Bruno Podalydès), whose obvious attraction to Isabelle emerges in paternalistic judgment of the other men in her life; her older ex-husband, whose tender visits to pick up and drop off their daughter sometimes lead to lovemaking, but always leave both of them raw and unsatisfied; a rough-featured working man (Paul Blain) whose open emotionality draws Isabelle close before her doubts about their separate spheres cause her to smother what promise there is in half-believed rationalizations; an older museum curator (Denis regular Alex Descas), whose gentle, patient attraction offers tantalizing glimpses of future possibilities.
If Denis' previous films traffic in the unspoken, "Let the Sunshine In" serves as a deconstruction of why. Here, almost everything is spoken. Isabelle and the men in her life all circle each other in words, either sparring warily or stammering toward – but never reaching – actual communication. For Binoche, Isabelle marks the challenge of maintaining the character's integrity, intelligence and depth of feeling, while simultaneously showing how love and desire often make us inarticulate, impulsive and unwise. In a career made up of almost nothing but tours de force, her performance here – like the film itself, really – is more of a subtle triumph, Isabelle's (admittedly subtler than the American version) rom-com dilemma leaving her, ultimately, incomplete. A late-film appearance by another French acting legend (I'll let you discover who) as an enigmatic love therapist/psychic underscores the lengths to which the undaunted but exhausted Isabelle will still go for love. That their extended session continues right through the shocking onscreen appearance of the scrolling end credits brings the point home, too.
And yet, Binoche and Denis reveal the admirable optimism even in Isabelle's woozy, painful, occasionally ridiculous search. The moments when Isabelle's desires appear in reach – a charged, romantic dance with Blain's stranger in a bar; a poetically spare, hand-holding walk with the courtly Descas' – tingle with excitement. (They are also the only times in the film when all those words don't get in the way.) Denis deploys close-ups of her star with a judiciousness that make Binoche's already expressive person fairly leap from the screen. Unapologetic in its depiction of a mature woman's sexual desire and her unwillingness to quench the fullness of that desire, "Let the Sunshine In" might leave you, like Binoche's protagonist, unfulfilled. But it will also send you out of the theater flush with appreciation for the journey – and its star.
"Let the Sunshine In" is playing at Waterville's Railroad Square Cinema until Thursday and opens at Portland's Nickelodeon Cinema on Friday. Not rated: call it an 'R' for sensuality and nudity.
Friday-Sunday: "Boom for Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat." This documentary looks at the formative early years of the career of explosively talented painter, musician and street artist Basquiat. (Pro tip: Makes a great double feature with Julian Schnabel's stunning 1996 biopic "Basquiat," starring the great Jeffrey Wright.)
Tuesday, May 29: "Dirtbag: The Legend of Fred Beckey." If you want to see a documentary about the life and exploits of a cantankerous mountain-climber's 80-year career, then this is your lucky week. Plus, it's called "Dirtbag," which should be enough enticement for you.

I'm humbled by the many breath-taking places I've witnessed in my travels, and it's often a difficult choice between attempting to capture a moment, or to simply live and enjoy the sight. Many of the most amazing things I've seen live only in my memory, and the memories of those who were with me; the mountain in Laos, at dusk, with the colossal cave containing small rivers and tumbling waterfalls, the neon green glowing mushrooms casting other-worldy glows as we descended in the dark.
But other times, I choose to frame, to take a moment, record it and put it into a context. To take a fragment of time and place and share it in a different time and place.
Photographers see the world differently. We look twice, three times, twist our heads this way and that. But what are we looking for? What is it we see within the frame of our mind? We see shapes and outlines and negative spaces. We see colours combining and re ections which play and shadows who dance. We see the world duplicate itself in the pools of water gathered after a drenching rain. We see angles and curves. We see imperfection in the detail and beauty in the imperfection. We see moments frozen for eternity. We see the stories written in the lines on people's faces, we see emotion conveyed and received and captured in an instant.
These moments, these emotions, the colours and shadows and shapes, the reflections and details make our rugged world truly magnificent. And everyone sees them. Our world is rampant with opportunity to see something. The art in photography is to make people look twice, three times, twist their head this way and that.

If you're feeling fed up, sluggish and unhappy with the reflection you see in the mirror but still lack the motivation you need to do something about it, you're not alone. This sudden wintry turn in the weather doesn't help either, as it's likely to have rained away any shred of motivation to get outside or your body moving.
So what can we do when our self-care is missing from our weekly routines, and how can we rediscover our motivation to get fit? I recommend a pull approach. Let me explain…
If you're only pushing yourself to break convenient and comfortable habits, your success is likely to be short-lived. However, if you create a vision of your dream self and life, envisage how you will look and feel, plus imagine some of the things you'll do with your new found confidence, it can be a strong enough vision to pull you towards the endpoint, especially on those tougher days. It's a subtle change in perspective, but it's invaluable when it comes to creating new healthy habits.
Create Your Vision Board
This can be via the saved photos on your Instagram account, on a Pinterest board, physical images on your mirror or a journal entry – whatever feels best for you. Just make sure it's something you can see regularly and it includes wider lifestyle improvements – i.e. the things you'll have the confidence, ability or freedom to do once you achieve your goal. This could be playing with your kids without getting out of breath, it could be owning a dream outfit or car, or it could be a party scene where you'll have the confidence to walk in and make conversation with new people.
Get Specific
Having a rough goal in mind to 'lose weight and tone up' is great, but it's much more powerful if you have a dress size, strength or health goal in mind. These are measurable and act as encouragement as you close in on your prize.
Revisit The Vision
The human body really is incredible. The part of our brain that we use for visual perception is also the same area that reads visual imagery. Translated: the more you see and feel your vision, the more you're telling your brain that it's a real, tangible thing. Spend time imagining how you will feel when you reach your goal, as well as how you will look to drive you forwards.
Make a Plan
Now you've got your goal, you need to plan how to get there. The key is to be realistic; set your expectations too high and you'll fall short, feeling disheartened and frustrated at the same time. Set them too low and you'll feel like you're going nowhere fast.
Identify the areas that you know you could do with making improvements, such as sleep, you-time, food or exercise and see what changes you can make over the coming weeks. It could be that all of those areas need addressing. If this is the case, remember to keep it achievable and break things down.
Perhaps you can start with getting a solid 8 hours sleep, generally making healthier choices and working out once a week. After you notice a positive change from your extra sleep and the small endorphin boosts, you can introduce additional workouts and get creative with healthier meals.
Don't be scared to try something new. If the gym, CrossFit or swimming appeal to you, hang up any preconceptions and give it a go. There are many ways to get in shape and exercise. Finding something that excites you will see you going back for more and making it part of your weekly routine. If you need some moral support, ask a friend to accompany you.
Hold Yourself Accountable
Whether it be online, to your friends and family or to a personal trainer, holding yourself accountable is another reinforcement to make positive choices. A workout buddy or personal trainer can be great if you're likely to find excuses not to commit.
Also, as much as you might not want to document how you look or feel right now, sometimes recording a starting point can be great reminders of why you're making positive, healthier changes on days where you're struggling to find motivation. Keep them private, but know you have them as a secret weapon to cheer you on through tough days. While you might not like where you are right now, the future you will be pleased to have a comparison to remind you just how far you've come. That's inspiring stuff!

McLaughlin to Madden: veto sanctuary city
July 12, 2019 09:39 AM
TROY – Nothing is cut and dry in the city of Troy. While mired in the latest pool problems, there is also the question of making the Collar City a sanctuary city. After a contentious debate, the Troy City Council voted 4-3 to make Troy a sanctuary city under the "Families and Communities Together" or "FACT" Act.
In a two-page letter obtained by NewsChannel-13, Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin is demanding that Troy Mayor Patrick Madden veto the resolution. If Madden does nothing, it becomes law in 10 days, according to the city charter.
McLaughlin references the "cynically renamed F.A.C.T. Act" writing "…I am vehemently against this resolution…".
McLaughlin wrote that he was encouraged that Madden would not sign the measure "but I am concerned that you did not indicate to me that you would veto such legislation. Clarity is required in this matter…".
According to the city charter, the mayor does not have to act at all on the resolution and it would become law.
McLaughlin warned that the FACT Act "…would endanger the City from receiving grant monies and resources from the federal government…Inaction on your part would be the same result as if you had signed it."
There was a packed council chamber Thursday night with heated debate on both sides. At one point, Council President Carmella Mantello tried to table the measure citing a Roberts' Rules of Order Procedural matter. When that was rejected, it went to a council vote. Council members David Bissember, Anasha Cummings, Debra Garrett and Coleen Murtagh Paratore voted "yes" while Mantello, Jim Gulli and Tim Kennedy voted "no."
Back in November, Bissember put forth the resolution to designate Troy as a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants. It would require city police and other public services not to inquire the immigration status of people. Mayor Madden has previously said he had issues with calling Troy a sanctuary city.

Datça, Hidden Paradise Of Tourism
Datça, one of paradise towns in Muğla attracts the attention of tourists with its quiet and calm nature. Datça is the point of passage between the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean, and between Marmaris and Bodrum in Muğla. Datça Peninsula is 15 km wide, 70 km long and on the world-famous Blue Voyage route.
Datça history dates back to BC. Its name is Knidos in that period and has taken the name of Datça after entering Ottoman domination in 15th century. Carians were the first indigenous people and its golden age was during the period of the Dorians.
Datça had been the center of commercial activity due to its location. Ports were used for commercial and military purposes, and the people settled there had built many temples.
The scorching heat of the Datca peninsula, with a typical Mediterranean climate, are scattered with north winds.
Datca Peninsula was declared as a Special Protection Area. In this way, nature has been preserved and it has a 235-kilometer coastline. 52 bays in Datça are among the frequented places of blue voyage boats.
Among these bays, Palamutbükü and Hayıtbükü are worth to see. The ancient city of Knidos at the tip of the peninsula should also be visited due to its enormous location. These ruins have a theater, city walls and a range of debris. Twenty thousand and ten thousand-seat theater, pink temple, temple of the universe, the acropolis and necropolis (burial chambers) are the major works of art in this city. In 1856-1858, British archaeologists excavating the site smuggled the finds of sculpture, lamps and coins to the British Museum in London, and the marble blocks of the big theater were used in the construction of the palace in Cairo by Egyptian governor Kavalali Mehmed Ali Pasha. Some marble in Dolmabahçe Palace had been brought from here.
Old Datça, as well as stone houses and pleasant places, is a town renowned as the place of poet Can Yücel.

FCA Warns Against Clone Firm Generali Brokers, Unauthorized Firm
The British regulator has also flagged Radcliffe and Young as unauthorized firm.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) on Tuesday added three financial firms to its warning list. The regulator flagged a clone firm of a European Economic Area (EEA) registered firm and one unauthorized financial firm.

Clone firms aim to trick consumers by adopting similar names and details of a legitimate financial firm and claim to either be the legitimate company or be affiliated with them. Their most common tactic is cold calling.

In this instance, the clone firm is impersonating Assicurazioni Generali SpA and Generali France. The scam firm operates through www.generalibrokers.com and has copied the address of the legitimate firm Generali France, which is 76 rue Saint Lazore, Paris Cedex 09 75456, FRANCE.
The UK regulator warns consumers to be careful when interacting with the above broker. Investors should be particularly wary should the broker contact them via a cold call.
FCA Flags Radcliffe and Young
In addition to the clone firm, the FCA has also flagged Radcliffe and Young Asset Management which also goes by the name Radcliffe and Young. As the name suggests, Radcliffe and Young is an Asset Management firm which operates through its website www.radcliffeandyoung.com. The firm has two addresses – one in Switzerland and one in Dubai.
According to the warning on the regulator's website, the asset management firm is not authorized in the United Kingdom. Therefore, it can't provide any financial services or products to residents. The watchdog urges caution when dealing with the company.

NVR can't find IPC
There is no camera scanned in the recorder add-on device, you can check it from the following aspects:
1. Confirm whether the IPC and the NVR are on the same network segment.
The initial IP network segment of some IPCs is not on the same network segment as the NVR. This causes the IPC to be isolated from the NVR and cannot communicate with each other. Therefore, modify the IP address of the NVR or IPC to the same network segment.
2. Check if the switch is set to isolate
Some switches can enable VLAN or port isolation by dialing. When the VLAN is enabled, only the uplink port can communicate with other interfaces. The NVR is not connected to the uplink port. Therefore, when the VLAN is enabled, the NVR can be connected. On the interface, or close the VLAN
3. Check the network cable
Check whether the corresponding port of the IPC and NVR connected to the switch is on. If the indicator is off, the network cable may be faulty.
4. Check if the IPC power supply is normal.
(1) If the IPC is powered by the POE and is far away from the power supply terminal, there may be a path loss that causes the actual power supply received by the IPC to be insufficient. You can try to verify that the IPC starts normally.
(2) The total power of the switch is insufficient, resulting in insufficient power supply.
Check whether the total power of the connected camera exceeds the total power of the switch. If yes, it is recommended to change the switch of a larger power or reduce the number of camera connections.
(3) When the centralized power supply may cause insufficient power supply to the new equipment, the IPC will not start properly. It is recommended that the IPC not be fully connected to the port at one time, and it can be operated in batches.
Check if the IPC power supply is normal. Use the hand to block the light sensor port of the camera. If the infrared light is on, it indicates that the power supply is normal.

A 'Lump Sum' or Full and Final settlement IVA is a legally binding arrangement with your creditors which allows you to repay a proportion of your debt in a one off lump sum payment.
A Lump Sum IVA consists of just one payment, rather than the typical 60 monthly payments associated with a contributions based IVA. If 75% of creditors, in debt value terms, accept the proposal the IVA becomes legally binding on all and even those that voted against the proposal become legally bound by it. As with all IVA's, once accepted the creditors must freeze interest, stop any charges being added to the debt and refrain from taking legal action related to the recovery of their debt. As long as you adhere to the agreed terms, the remaining balance of your debt will be written off.
Your Insolvency Practitioner, as one of their duties under the IVA, collects the funds for the settlement on behalf of all the creditors. When all the creditors' claims have been received and verified, your IP will distribute a proportion of the settlement fund to each creditor, based on a pro-rata payment.
However in order to get your creditors to agree a lump sum IVA you will need to prove to them that it is not possible for you to make any additional monthly payments. Your creditors are not likely to agree to a lump sum payment IVA if they believe that you can also afford to pay monthly payments to them on top of this.
The fees for this type of IVA will be agreed with you up front and fully disclosed before you enter the agreement. This will include the referral fee paid to Money Village by the Insolvency Practitioner if we are involved in the application. The effect on your credit rating and the recording of the agreement on a public register applies as for a regular IVA.

TOKYO — Japan's prime minister, Yoshihiko Noda, finally put months of speculation to rest on Friday by calling a general election for next month – and effectively ending his party's tumultuous three years in office.
It will require something extraordinary for Noda to be returned as prime minister after voters go to the polls on December 16th.
Public support for his Democratic Party of Japan [DPJ] stands at just 6.6 percent, according to a recent Jiji Press poll, the lowest since it took office by a landslide in August 2009. His main rival, the Liberal Democratic Party [LDP] leader, Shinzo Abe, is the most popular choice to replace him with 32 percent, compared to Noda's 17 percent.
That Noda dissolved the lower house of parliament nine months earlier than necessary – and almost certainly put himself out of a job – says much about the instability plaguing Japan's political scene.
The DPJ needed the support of opposition parties to push recent budget financing and other key bills through the upper house, where it doesn't have a majority. The opposition duly obliged, but forced Noda into calling an early election in return.
Assuming the polls are correct and the DPJ is dealt a crushing defeat next month, Japan will install its seventh prime minister in six years. The country's politics are again in flux, and at a time when most observers agree that what it needs most is a period of stability.
The election will take place as Japan risks slipping into its fourth recession since 2000, and while it attempts to repair relations with China over their rival claims to islands in the East China Sea. Reconstruction of the region struck by last year's tsunami has barely begun, and the country faces an enormous clean-up and decommissioning bill at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
More from GlobalPost: Japan Prime Minister Noda dissolves parliament
Its leaders will soon have to decide whether or not to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a US-led trade pact that Noda supports but which is opposed by the powerful farming lobby and their allies in the LDP.
The make-up of Japan's next government is still anyone's guess. Polls indicate that the LDP will win the most seats in the lower house but fall short of a majority, even with the support of its traditional ally, New Komeito. There is even talk of the LDP working with what is left of the DPJ after its expected rout.
"The DPJ are in bad shape, so for them the timing of the election is terrible," Koichi Nakano, a professor of political science at Sophia University in Tokyo, told GlobalPost. "But the LDP doesn't have much enthusiastic support either. They are going to come under increased scrutiny during the campaign and will no longer get away with just criticizing Noda."
"Japan is in the middle of a drawn-out transition. The days of LDP dominance are not going to return, but we don't know where we're going. We're groping in the dark but can't find the exit," Nakano added.
Abe, a hawk who resigned as prime minister in 2007 after an ignominious year in office, said the coming election would be a historic battle.
"This will be a fight to win back Japan," he said. "We will make the economy strong again."
Noda described the vote in similarly momentous terms: "What's at stake is whether Japan's future is going to move forward or backward. It is going to be a crucial election to determine the fate of Japan."
Lurking on the horizon is the figure of Shintaro Ishihara, an octogenarian nationalist who resigned as Tokyo governor last month to forge a "third force" in national politics with his ideological bedfellow, Osaka mayor Toru Hashimoto.
Despite their differences over nuclear power and tax rises, the pair reportedly agreed this weekend to merge their fledgling parties in the hope that they will hold the balance of power after December's vote.
The election will be watched with interest in Washington, where officials have grown frustrated by the constant changing of the guard in Tokyo, and the lack of direction in foreign policy under three consecutive DPJ prime ministers.
More from GlobalPost: Shintaro Ishihara quits as Tokyo governor, forms new national party
"We are the closest of allies," state department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters on Friday. "That is important for the United States, it's important for Japan, but it's also important for the region."
But the shift to the right that some expect could spell further trouble for Japan's relations with China, a scenario the US is desperate to avoid.
Recent provocations by North Korea and China have also reminded Japan of its military vulnerability, and could provoke an Abe-led government into playing the security role some in the US believe is long overdue, argues Bruce Klingner, a senior research fellow in the Asian Studies Center at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank in Washington.
"Abe's conservative foreign policy views and the Japanese public's growing concern over China provide an excellent opportunity for Washington to achieve several policy objectives critical to the health of the US-Japan alliance," Klingner said in a recent essay.
"It would be beneficial for the United States if Japan were to increase its defense spending, enable collective self-defense, adopt less restrictive rules of engagement for forces involving in overseas peacekeeping operations, and press forward on building a replacement US Marine Corps airbase on Okinawa."
Noda, who this week cautioned his compatriots against excessive nationalism, may have improved his own party's chances of joining a grand coalition by calling an early election. He has given Ishihara and Hashimoto less than a month to agree on policy and win over voters – a tall order for any new party.
"They could turn out to be an incoherent bunch of prima donnas, as I don't think teamwork is their strength," said Prof. Nakano. "But there is still the possibility that they will enter government in one form or another if the LDP needs additional support. Their presence alone should give us reason to worry."

zu unseren füßen, das gold, aus dem boden verschwunden
by Svealena Kutschke
In an apartment house in Berlin: an old drunkard, a lesbian couple, a refugee, a depressed woman and her ex-husband. In this constellation fundamental questions arise. Gentrification, our interaction with strangers – people we don't understand because of culture, origin or even just misunderstandings are boiling to the surface.
Svealena Kutschke was born in Lübeck and studied cultural sciences in Hildesheim. She has published three novels, most recently Stadt aus Rauch (Eichborn, 2017). She has received various awards and scholarships for her literary work, including the Open Mike of the Literaturwerkstatt Berlin, the Berlin Senate Scholarship and residence scholarships in China, Poland and Croatia; zu unseren füßen, das gold, aus dem boden verschwunden is her first play.

Filling the Gap: Costing a National Affordable Housing Program
CHIA NSW and Homelessness NSW commissioned UNSW to estimate the costs of delivering new supply of social and affordable rental housing to meet housing needs over the next 20 years.
This project builds on the AHURI research Social Housing as Infrastructure: An Investment Pathway to extend that methodology to estimate the need for affordable rental housing from households in the second income quintile in housing stress.
The cost to government of meeting need is modelled in the report based on a number of funding scenarios. The report can be accessed here.
Strengthening Economic Cases for Housing: Stage 2
In March 2018, supported by the Greater Sydney Commission and the NSW Federation of Housing Associations, a City Futures Research Centre team led by UNSW Visiting Professor Duncan Maclennan presented findings from a wide-ranging study on the economic implications of housing market performance and the case for treating housing as a form of productive infrastructure.
In the second stage of this study selected housing economy effects identified in the first report have now been subject to econometric modelling. This project has been led by Professor Duncan Maclennan, and also involved SGS consultants and Cadence Econometrics, on behalf of a consortium of not for profits, government and private sector organisations.
