His comerade in that venture included a poet, Nguyen Huu Huan, who was later captured and executed by the French; his verses typified the burgeoning nationalistic sentiment of the period :

(b)The Japanese lost no time in reacting .On the evening of March.9th 1945 , after strategically deploying their forces, they instructed the French govenor to place his army under their command.
(b) In Hanoi , they ceremoniously intrened the French soldiers who had surrendered without fighting. But in oother place ,those who resisted were wiped out to the man. They imprisoned several hundred French civilians , many of whom were totured to death by the same native jailers employed by the colonial adminis-tration to brutalize Vietnamese nationalist.

(b) Phung Thuong, as a boy before WWII , he had felt no particular resentment against the French, whom he rarely saw. But the famine of 1945 arused his hostility to both the Japanese and the French, and Vietminh agents entered the villages, urging the peasant to organize. They evoked Ho Chi Minh, a name then unknown to Khang. Even so, he agreed to head a platoon of seventry peasant armed with machetes and scythes, with only tw musket among them .

The British would take the South, the Chinese Nationalist the north, it was a formula for catastrope.
(2)The British commander, General Douglas Gracey, was miscast. A colonial officer with limited political experience but a genuine affection for his Indian troops, he held the parenalistic view that "natives" should not defy Europeans. Officially, his was not to reason why, he had been plainly told by Lord Louis Mountbatten, the allied commander for Southeast asia ,to avoid Vietnam'sinternal problems and merely handle the Japanese.

(2) When and Where the DaiNippon surrender in Vietnam ?-auth
1)August 1945
(2)By the summer of 1945 , flood aggravated the already serious food shortage as the Red River dikes , neglected by local officials, burst in several spot. In Nothern Vietnam, poor in the best of circumstances, two million people out of a population of ten million starved to death.
Not far from Hanoi , a leathery old peasant by the name of Duong Van Khang recalled years afterward that so many of his fellow villagers died :" We didn't have enough wood for coffins and buried them in bamboo mats."
(3)Condition were no better in the cities. Dr Tran Duy Hung, mayor of Hanoi at the time, recollected the scene in an interview decade later.
(4) Starving peasant in several places attacacked French post and stromed Japanese granaties.
(5) With the news of Japan's surrender in August, the uprising spread. Vietminh agent mved quickly to take advatage of the Turmoil. A villager recounted the events of that period in a district of Thai Binh province, in the Red River delta :
"The Village marketplace was jummed. A man in brown pants and a cloth shirt climbed onto a chair, and guards armed with machetes spears and sticks surrounded him. He delivered a speech, saying that the Japanese had capitulated to the allies, and that the time had come for Vietminh to seized power . I was just a teenager in ragged clothes, and I asked a schoolmate, " Now that we've seized power, who will be the mandarin?" He replied :"Get this.the mandarin is just apeassant-really ordinary"
(6) The Vietminh leader the marched to the district headquaters; the procession behind him swelled as nearby villagers joined in. The local chief had fled. The Vietminh leader seated himself in the district chief's chair t dramatize his new authority. The next day, Vietminh agents put a village official on trial before five thousand peple assembled on a soccer field.
They read the charges. He had been an accmplice of the Japanese pirates. He had forced the peasants to pull up their rice and plant jute and peanuts, enriching himself even though the people were miserable and dying. He admitted that he had worrked for the Japanese but claimed that he was just carrying out orders. But they announced that his crime was very serious because he had opposed the revolution and helped the enemy. So They sentenced him to death and shot him right there.
This really fired up the people. They went after the henchmen of the Japanese, dragging them out of their housees, making them lower their heads and beating them. That finished their prestige, and the fervor of the massed kept rising.(D)
(7) August.16th 1945
To keep pace with the momentum, Ho Chi Minh summned sixty comrades to Tran Tao, a village in Thai nguyen province, North of Hanoi.
The time had come to grab power and greet the allies on the arrival. Ho formed a National Liberation Comittee with himself as president, calling it "The equivallent of a provisional government " appealing for a general insurrection, he proclaimed in classic revolutionary style " The oppresed the world over are wresting back theirindependent. We should not lag behind.(D)
Clad in coarse khaki uniforms or black pajamas, the first Vietminh detachments entere Hanoi on August 16, raking over publics buildings as Japanese troops stood by.
The emperor 's delegate, a symbol of imperial authority, resigned to a Vietminh-run committee of citizens which promptly announced its seizure of power from a balcony of the Hanoi opera house, a model of French gingerbread architecture.

When you need a mechanic for your motorcycle, scooter, or your ATV and quad runner, you need an honest free repair estimate and the best service for the money.
Big storefronts and fancy over-staffed service departments not only cost you more, they lack the personal service and affordable prices you expect when you need someone you can trust.
Cycle Ivan's in West Palm Beach keeps your wheels on the road. Our service technicians are experienced in all makes and models in the power sports world.
Getting it right the first time is what Cycle Ivan's is all about. With safety FIRST, our service and performance department is the hardest working and most referred by word of mouth.

Anyone who has needed to call 911 to request help in a medical emergency will never forget every moment, every detail, of the event. Whether in one's own home, or out on the road in a vehicle, or elsewhere, what leads up to that call is a series of steps that makes it clear an emergency is at hand.
Then, the choice must be made to reach out for help rather than trying to manage it oneself. Difficult steps to take, as we all share the human quality of wanting to maintain control of our own destiny, even when all evidence points to the contrary.
For residents of Salisbury, since 1971 there has been an answer to such a call in the form of the Salisbury Volunteer Ambulance Service. All the Northwest Corner towns have volunteers who answer those calls, and every one of them deserves monumental credit.
They need to complete 175 hours of state-mandated training in order to serve as volunteer EMTs, then undergo regular testing as well as recertification every three years. Then, when on duty, they need to race out to emergencies whenever the call has gone out for help. How often? The volunteers in Salisbury, for instance, made 516 ambulance calls in 2016.
Such dedication can only be based in a real and admirable desire to help those who need it, as quickly as possible, when they need it. These volunteers help their neighbors daily, and those neighbors find great comfort in seeing familiar faces when they've had to make that panicky call.
The reason Salisbury's ambulance service is looking for some public attention right now, rather than their usual approach of behind-the-scenes efficiency that all volunteer EMTs generally espouse, is that the nonprofit organization is in need of a new ambulance. (See Patrick Sullivan's story on this newspaper's health page last week.)
It is a constant challenge for any ambulance service to keep up with the needs of the community, serving in ways that will give the best chance for success in mitigating a medical emergency. But for a 100-percent volunteer service like Salisbury's, money is always tight and answers to such needs are not simple.
The new ambulance will replace a rusted, 20-year-old vehicle that does not meet state standards for service and lacks necessary technological updates.
The ambulance service's board of directors has raised a portion of the $250,000 needed to purchase the new ambulance, and now has gone public to ask the community to pitch in with whatever amount they can afford.
Help them reach their goal by sending any-size contribution to Salisbury Volunteer Ambulance Service, Inc., P.O. Box 582, Salisbury, CT 06068-0582, or by going to www.salisburyambulance.org. OK

Supreme irony: Google as open source champion
It's easy to paint Oracle as the villain in its legal scuffle with Google.
Just as the software giant–which built its fortune on pricey (dare I say proprietary?) databases–starts to deep-six OSS fan-favorite OpenSolaris, it also sued Google over how it implemented Java in Android. That move was immediately blasted as interference with an open source icon.
Oracle's timing was funky and it didn't help that Oracle CEO Larry Ellison seems to relish playing Snidely Whiplash to some other vendor's Nell. Remember him laughing off rumors that Oracle would buy Red Hat? Why do that, he asked, when we can download the software for free? Which, as The 451 analyst Jay Lyman points out, is pretty much what Oracle did with Oracle Unbreakable Linux.
But Google is hardly a paragon of open sourciness. For all its open-source projects–Chrome, Android et al.–Google's core search business is still a big, super-secret black box. Sure, it runs on Linux, but how much of that work filters back to "the community?"
So Google has been able to play the victim–something it can rarely do nowadays. And Oracle has not communicated very well that it is Google's specific use of Java that it is targeting, not the community at large, said Lyman. "Google is aware of and stands to gain from this positioning…to say that 'hey, look, Oracle is attacking open source, when in reality, Oracle is squarely attacking Google," he added. (Lyman has been following the shifting good guys/bad guys of OSS for some time.
The OSS community's anxiety around Oracle's treatment of the MySQL franchise comes into play here as well, although Lyman noted that Oracle has worked to expand and improve MySQL.
Michael Cizmar, president of MC+A, a Chicago VAR that works with the Google appliance, agreed that Google plays both sides of the OSS fence.
"They've contributed heavily to things like the Chrome project, which they initiated, and Android is an open source project…but they only contribute around things that are not core [to their main business]," he noted.
Thus, there is a feeling that Google has reaped more from open source, particularly Linux, than it has sewn. Still, Lyman and others point out that the fact that Google runs on Linux greatly enhances Linux' standing among enterprise users.
Ironically, Oracle also still leads with Linux in many cases. Its Exadata data center appliances run Linux–not OpenSolaris, not Solaris. So, in one key respect–proving that Linux is ready for prime-time, mission-critical applications like databases–Oracle and Google are in violent agreement.

West Indies A 274 for 8 (Smith 69, Joseph 59) v Sri Lanka A
Devon Smith jogged the memories of regional selectors with another half-century, while Sylvester Joseph and Narsingh Deonarine notched their own, as West Indies 'A' kept their Sri Lankan counterparts in the field for the entire opening day of the second unofficial "Test" at Warner Park yesterday.
The left-handed Smith, who last played for the West Indies against Australia on the tour Down Under late last year, cracked an attractive 69, to help the hosts to 274 for 8 at the close. He hit a century in the drawn opening "Test" last week.
Captain Sylvester Joseph, also seeking to stir the thoughts of selectors, stroked an enterprising 59, while Deonarine carved out 55.
West Indies A's total thrived on two major partnerships. First, Smith and Joseph added 88 for the third wicket to revive the regional side from 41 for two and then Deonarine and Darren Sammy (48) posted a further 80 for the seventh wicket when the score slipped to 178 for 6.
Smith's innings contained 12 fours from 103 balls while Joseph faced 82 balls and batted a shade over two hours, striking eight fours.

Here is a beautiful song by Frankie Avalon from a famous movie of the same name, chosen to illustrate the beauty of the "mermaid" Esther Williams.
Esther Jane Williams (born in 1921 or 1922) was a United States competitive swimmer and movie star, famous for her musical films that featured elaborate performances with swimming and diving. She was born in Inglewood, California. She was enthusiastic about swimming in her youth. She was National AAU champion in the 100 meter freestyle. Williams went to Hollywood, where she quickly became a popular star of the 1940's and 1950's. Many of her films, such as "Million Dollar Mermaid" and "Jupiter's Darling", contained elaborately staged synchronized swimming scenes, obtained not without physical cost to the performer. Esther Williams retired from acting in the early 1960's and lives with her current husband in Beverly Hills.
Enjoy this trip to the bottom of the sea!
Let's swim with the siren!

Day 3 of the First Thirty-One over at Fourtuitous.com! Today's challenge was "Returns".
I'm not even going to lie, I had no idea how to do this challenge. I checked Instagram (if you're Instagram saavy, you can find other people's posts at #firstthirtyone) …and, I really, really didn't just want to take a photo of me returning something. No offense to anyone that did that, but I pride myself on being "outside-of-the-box"
The little wheels in my head turned and turned, so much in fact, that I gave myself a headache trying to come up with something.
I thought "What if I go to the gym today? I haven't been in a month, so I would be returning to the gym!" …well, I never went. I made breakfast too late in the morning, and the only way to drag myself is to get up at 6-7AM, eat a quick breakfast, take a quick shower, and head off before the sun's too high in the sky. So nope. No dice.
Then I thought "Well, I could do some yoga in my room for a bit. I haven't done that in ages." …and my mind got all esoteric and I spaced out for a bit imagining high-lit silhouettes of me doing yoga poses, until I eventually realized I haven't a room in my house where the backdrop wouldn't be uninteresting, and I don't actually own any high-powered lights to hide in front of. Fuck it.
Then I ate lunch. Who thinks on an empty stomach?
So I chose this. It's lame, I'm not happy with it, but…it's what you get. I decided that I was returning my house to its natural, non-Christmas state (excepting the Christmas tree, which I'm not taking down until I get the roommate approval. I've learned not to mess with a man's tree.) I took down all the lights, and removed the stockings and the ornaments, and packed away my Christmas cards and shiny baubles. I took the popcorn strings outside for birds to feast upon, and I placed the cedar boughs and cinnamon sticks that were upon my altar into the firepit, for burning later. The only thing I kept up were the snowflakes on the windows (that's WINTER, damn it) and the wreath upon my door.
And now, to make myself feel a bit better about my photography (and editing skills in general) …here's some more stuff from the day.

Sibling Care
FUMCN offers a formal child care option for younger siblings while parents are assisting in the preschool. Our child care is staffed by experienced caregivers. It meets in the nursery—a welcoming and safe space, designed to meet the specific needs of babies and toddlers.
The 2018/2019 cost of child care is $20 per assist day for one child plus $5 for each additional child per family. The cost may change depending on number of families using program.
Parents cite many advantages:
- Child care for siblings is easier for the parents because they are not required to coordinate their assist schedule with a babysitter. If a caregiver is sick, the Child Care Coordinator finds a substitute.
- The window-walled nursery is close to the classrooms, so parents can check-in or help out as necessary.
- Through child care for siblings, many siblings come to view FUMCN as their school, too. They become familiar with the building, the playground, the teachers and other FUMCN families. They may even meet and become friends with future FUMCN classmates.
2 Year Old Play Group
We have a free playgroup that runs during the school year for children who have turned 2 years old by Dec. 1st. The playgroup is held on Wednesday mornings from 9:30 am to 11:30 am in the FUMCN nursery. Parents are asked to take turns providing a snack and an activity, and all parents stay with the playgroup to supervise. Family contact info will be collected. * Please note: This playgroup is open to the public. It is not required that you have a child currently enrolled at FUMCN.

I usually photograph my pieces outside on a cloudy day. Huckleberry watched.
I showed this painting at the Ballard Farmer's Market on a cold winter day in 2013. It had a gold leaf background - and was part of a series of organic farms and food. It was a celebration of the weird and wonderfulness of the Brussels Sprout plant. I remember thinking that the white stems looked like rib bones.
I haven't shown my work in public much lately as I have been taking commissions for large pieces instead. So this painting sat in my studio for a couple of years - looking kind of serious. Eventually I decided to lighten it up by layering silver leaf over the gold.
And then a fennel plant appeared.
The fennel is based on a series of paintings I made in the farm fields of the Snoqualmie Valley. This photos was taken at Full Circle Farm, near Carnation.
And these are from a different painting that I later painted over.
And then I added some tomatoes.
And here it is.
That's a basil plant at the bottom.

"The marvelous thing about a good question is that it shapes our identity as much by the asking as it does by the answering." – David Whyte
Each meeting we start with a question. Why a question? Questions engage our curiosity and imagination. If we can construct a question that is beautiful, it will lead us to new questions and new frontiers of a dynamic, engaged life. As educators, we can set the context for asking these questions by asking them ourselves.
Our fourth gathering of Teachers Sitting By A Fire took place on Wednesday, August 30. More events will be planned so to learn more or get on our mailing list, contact Marc Balcer at email@example.com. This group is dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable atmosphere to join together and connect with the experience of working in the field of education.
Each meeting is organized into sections that bring us together for a time of true fellowship and connection. This model is based on the Five Touchstones:
- Centering – We arrive in the present moment to share.
- Gathering – We offer our presence to the group.
- Connecting – We listen deeply to each other's stories.
- Releasing – We let go of ways that no longer serve us and redirect our energy to what nourishes our hearts.
- Serving – We take insights with us and share them with others.
Our opening mindfulness practice comes from Jack Kornfield on joy and gratitude. In this practice, we express our gratitude for the gifts we and others have received and then move to wishing such blessings upon others. It serves to open our hearts to compassion.
May you be joyful.
May your happiness increase.
May you not be separated from great happiness.
May your good fortune and the causes for your joy and happiness increase.
We began by sharing one excitement and one concern in our life right now. As we returned to practice, I offered an introduction of a mindfulness practice described by Martine Batchelor in the recording below, What Is This? In this very simple practice, a question serves as the anchor. Just as your can return to your breath or your body to arrive in presence, so can you return to this question, What Is This? The intent is not to seek answers or ruminate on a response. Instead, you can bring this question to your full experience, your senses and your body. I have found it very centering. As I notice a sound, instead of wishing it will stop or bathing in its elegance, I instead am able to bring curiosity, acceptance and a willingness to be with the uncertainty of the question.
Our guiding question for the evening was "What will you bring to your calling?" We spent 10 minutes writing and then each story was read aloud by another participant. Here is what we will bring as we begin a new school year:
- Practice Self-Care
- Take Your Time
- Use Time Wisely
- Sit With Discomfort
- Be Willing To Change
- Follow Your Heart
- Do What Makes You Happy
- Don't Measure Everything
- Do What You Believe In
- Notice Small Moments of Joy
Releasing, Committing and Serving
We closed by summarizing our intentions in a sentence or two. We then created a challenge to stay in touch regularly and serve as supporters and accountability partners in remembering and acting on these meaningful offerings to our calling.
How do we bring this experience to the world? I look forward to hearing your reflections as we build a fellowship and extend our friendship.
Stay tuned for more from Your Mindful Coach including "pop-up" teacher fires this fall. We closed with this poem:
Fire by Judy Brown
What makes a fire burn
is space between the logs,
a breathing space.
Too much of a good thing,
too many logs
packed in too tight
can douse the flames
almost as surely
as a pail of water would.
So building fires
requires attention
to the spaces in between,
as much as to the wood.
When we are able to build
open spaces
in the same way
we have learned
to pile on the logs,
then we can come to see how
it is fuel, and absence of the fuel
together, that make fire possible.
We only need to lay a log
lightly from time to time.
A fire
simply because the space is there,
with openings
in which the flame
that knows just how it wants to burn
can find its way.
Sign up today for fall offerings from Your Mindful Coach
Mindful Men Meeting First Thursday each month beginning September 7, 7:30-8:45pm. Practice and discussion to support a regular mindfulness practice.
Teachers Sitting By A Fire is an offering of Your Mindful Coach and led by Caroline Feldman and Marc Balcer.

FSG is a mission-driven consulting firm for leaders in search of large-scale, lasting social change. Through our combination of customized services, powerful ideas, and learning communities, we help foundations, businesses, nonprofits, and governments around the world accelerate progress. Here's what we believe:
We need new approaches
Current approaches to addressing today's most intractable problems are failing us and must be replaced by new ones that better fit the realities of how social change happens.
We live in a complex world
Social issues are often embedded in complex systems that defy predictable solutions. Change is possible only if we understand and support interdependencies and momentum shifts within a system.
We need to work across sectors
Most of the problems we face are simply too big for any one entity to solve. Making social progress and achieving impact depends on collaboration among civil society, government, and business.
We need strong partnerships and ideas
To be successful in any pursuit, we must work together, build strong partnerships, and lift up the compelling ideas and successes of others.
Above all, we believe that real change is possible and that tomorrow doesn't have to be like today. Passionate leaders with new insights and heightened aspirations, willing to work across the divides between philanthropy, social enterprises, government, and business, can transform our world.

This Human Rights Day (10 December) we're standing with over 140 organisations to support the British Institute of Human Rights campaign which calls for Theresa May to protect human rights throughout Brexit negotiations.
We have put our name to support the following letter:
Dear Prime Minister,
Today, on Human Rights Day, we celebrate universal human rights. These freedoms, written down after World War II in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, have been brought home through the UK's Human Rights Act and European laws.
We face great constitutional change and uncertainty as your government seeks to navigate taking the UK out of the EU. Now is the time to focus on securing the everyday rights of people across the country. Rather than tampering with our hard-won fundamental freedoms, whether in the Human Rights Act or EU Charter, these legal standards must endure now and post-Brexit.
We ask you to avoid isolation and division, committing instead to stand firm on universal human rights standards as the foundation of a forward-looking UK.
If you would like to support the campaign, you can join the Thunderclap here >

One More Day
We have had a beautiful stretch of unseasonably warm October weather for the past several days, and are grabbing as many beach days as possible before this autumn tease ends.
Even though we spend much of the summer in or near the water, there is something about warm fall days at the beach that signal the need to imprint these moments. Could this be the last beach day until spring? Could this be the last time I watch a four-year-old build an elaborate sandcastle for her fairies, a two-year-old splash in the waves with his invisible friend, and a nine-month-old try desperately to eat as much sand as possible before her mommy interrupts?
I know. Next summer will be just as wonderful with a five-year-old, a three-year-old, and a one-year-old doing equally remarkable things. But there is just something about one more day at the beach, in fall, that calls me to stop, to watch, to remember. Right now. This moment. This gift of time and space with these special people who will grow up--who are growing up--so fast it's hard to believe.
So, yes, I will treasure one more day at the beach. One more day to stop.
One more day to watch.
One more day to remember.

Talk: How to effectively grow a development team
Developers come in all forms and sizes but putting them together doesn't automatically transform them into a team. One of the keys to creating a successful team of developers in my opinion is a great developer culture. In this talk I will try to explain why developer culture is so important and share how we grew a developer culture for one of the biggest airports in Europe.

The Mocoro Robot Cleaning Ball isn't a new gadget, but it's one that has finally become available for consumers in the United States and Europe. Released back in 2013, this cute robotic duster has been available only for Japanese customers, but you can now buy it from Firebox.com for a price of $38 or £25 for European consumers.
Of course, this robotic duster isn't as powerful or as evolved as Roomba or others, but it's definitely far cuter and is a much, much cheaper way to dust and mop your floors. Also, at this price, the Mocoro Robot Cleaning Ball doesn't get any sensors nor specific software, so in this regard, this is more of a cat toy than a gadget to keep your house clean.
Therefore, you really shouldn't have high expectations from it when it comes to maintaining cleanliness in your home, but I think you can rely on it to entertain your cat while you're not home.
However, the duster will try to clean up as much as it can, roaming freely around your home picking up dust and filth. What's nice about it is that it will change direction whenever it encounters an obstacle.
The gadget has an internal timer that pauses it after 15 minutes until disturbed again so that it saves battery. The duster will clean for about three hours of non-stop use by using three AA batteries. The device is coated with a pink microfibre that can be brushed clean and you can easily remove it in order to wash it.

Lewes Ladies 1s (Molloy, M. Spence, Hilton 2)
Burnt Ash Ladies 1s
Lewes travelled to Burnt Ash for the first round of the EHA trophy. Lewes were a little light on on first team players but had filled the side with some hard working 2s players. From the first whistle the Lewes ladies took it to the home side and within the first 10mins showed them what they could do. Winning many short corners Lewes converted 2 well worked goals from Laura Molloy and Anna Hilton. Not content with a 2-0 lead after half time, Lewes besieged the opposition's goal and a barrage of shots saw midfielder Marie Spence pick up a rebound and under cut a shot into the net. Burnt Ash attempted a come back and won a few short corners but it was nothing that the Lewes defence couldn't handle. Anna Hilton converted a final short corner resulting in the 4-0 win and a place in the next round of the trophy.
Sussex Men's Division 1
Lewes 2s – 3 (Daniels, Spedding 2)
Brighton 3s – 3
Hard fought draw extends 2s unbeaten run
The men's 2s earned a hard fought point against Brighton 3s this weekend to extend their unbeaten run to three games. Lewes started strongly with Ian Whiting, Wenzl and Daniels dominating the midfield and it was Daniels who took advantage of poor defending to slot under an on-rushing Brighton keeper and put Lewes 1-0 up. However Brighton fought back to level 1-1 shortly before half time.
Lewes started the second half brightly with Parnell, Petty, Rideout and Spedding all linking up well, the latter two combining as Rideout drove along the baseline and squared to Spedding to put Lewes 2-1 up. However, despite the hard defensive work of Anderson, Chris Whiting, Fuller and Lee, Lewes suffered the usual 'farcical fifteen minutes' and conceded two goals in quick session leaving them 3-2 down with ten minutes left and two players off the pitch due to suspension.
Back to full strength for the final ten minutes, Lewes surged forward and with three minutes left earned a succession of short corners, the last of which Max Spedding drag-flicked into the roof of the net, securing a valuable point for Lewes.
Next week they travel to second placed South Saxons where a win would bring them to two points behind the hosts.
LEWES 4th XI 1 (SPRUCE)
Lewes earned a hard fought point against a much younger Eastbourne side. Lewes were forced to play with 10 players when, after twenty minutes, Bill Short turned his ankle over. They were under almost constant pressure throughout but resilient covering and tackling by Sean Rowlands and Martyn Stillman frustrated the hosts in the first half.
The pattern was similar in the second half as Eastbourne missed opportunities and it was from a rare attack that Lewes forced a penalty corner and Steve Fuller's hard shot was deflected in by Paul Spruce with fifteen minutes left. Defenders Mark Tonkin and Simon Forster continued to thwart the home attacks and Mike Fuller skilfully held the ball up down the left flank as Lewes tired as they tried to protect their slender lead. With just under 10 minutes remaining goalkeeper Chris sharpe made a brilliant reflex save but could not clear the ball and it was forced over the goal line for the equaliser. Lewes held on in the final minutes to gain a creditable draw.
Sussex Ladies Division 1
Lewes Ladies 3's 1 (Storey)
Eastbourne Ladies 3
The ladies 3's have only won one game this season but have been there or there abouts in all their matches. The team have bags of experience and some young dynamic players who need match play to sharpen up their skills and decision making. Eastbourne had a potent front striker who stayed high and scored twice in quick succession. Once Lewes man-marked her, the threat fizzled out and Lewes played the better hockey but couldn't convert their chances. They have respite from the league next week with a cup game.

Even cash is now at risk
Albert Edwards, the lead strategist at Societe Generale, has added some typically forthright (and witty) comments on the latest developments in Euroland. By making explicit the fact that both uninsured bank depositors and all classes of bondholder have been required to take part in the rescue/liquidation of the two largest Cypriot banks, the troika (EU, IMF and ECB) has highlighted the fact that cash itself is now officially potentially an unsafe asset. He wonders also (as do I) how long it will be before a Eurozone country finally decides that remaining in the single currency is not worth the trauma that staying in involves.
Most economic analysis concludes, probably correctly, how much more costly it would be for either a creditor or debtor nation to leave the eurozone system compared to struggling on within it. Indeed for Germany, despite becoming increasingly irritated by having to dip their hands into their rapidly fraying pockets, the crisis in the eurozone has been accompanied by the lowest unemployment rates since before re-unification in 1990.

The beauty of vinyl fencing is not being able to tell that it's plastic. Vinyl fencing is made by treating normal plastic with special chemicals so that it toughens up before being used. Through these chemicals, the vinyl material is able to achieve hardness similar to metal and last longer than most fencing options in the market today.
Despite the many chemicals used in preparing vinyl fencing, they are quite safe to use without the worry of harmful toxins disposing off from the fence surface. This is the kind of fencing you would use on any kind of home because they come in different styles to choose from.
Vinyl Fencing Styles
With Vinyl fencing, there is no limit to how you can redecorate your home. One of the popular styles you can go with is Privacy vinyl fence. It is basically 6 feet to 7 feet fencing that lets you have your privacy by blocking prying eyes on the outside. You can choose to add artistic details on the fencing to give it a unique taste you like.
On the other hand, there is the picket vinyl fencing which takes after the traditional pickets that date way back. If you fancy that rustic look in your home, then picket vinyl fencing will match up to that. It is a great type of fence to protect your vicinity while complementing the traditional architecture of your home.
You can still go beyond the norm by installing custom vinyl fencing. There are plenty of fencing companies that provide this service to clients. You just need to tell the fencing company what kind of vinyl fencing you want and they draft a design for you. There are plenty of ideas in websites and magazines to help you design a custom vinyl fence unique to your own home.
Advantages of Vinyl Fencing
Despite being plastic, vinyl fencing is purely PVC which is a tough material that won't bend or break easily. It also doesn't rust and will last longer than wood or metal. Vinyl fencing won't succumb to water, humidity, harsh sunlight or ice. It is inexpensive and won't cost you that much to fence your entire home or just a position you have in mind.
If you are thinking about maintenance free fencing options in the market today, vinyl fencing does a pretty good job at that. Just make sure you are buying your vinyl materials from a trusted company that has been in business for years.
