Before Anyone Cries Ridiculous, Stop And Think.
The bottom picture is of a riot officer, nationality unknown, from the present now across France, as the Macron deep state puppet seeks to quell the growing, anti globalism protests. The modern picture just points to how dictatorships always turn out. The EUSSR is no more than the present day version of a failing, deep state construct that is the EUSSR.
For Heaven's sake they even have their modern version of Adolf as a speaker and unelected public face of the darkness from which he is controlled.
I suspect these histrionics are just an act. As with May, not a word can be believed. "No General Election", "No deal is better than a bad deal". The latter a blatant LIE. On and on they witter. All the time quietly and by their silences, condone Macron's, as they did Spain's suppression of the Catalans, actions across France.
The brutal suppression of the French protests is only making it ever greater. Despite EUSSR and their tame media lap dogs saying little about the French, what is tantamount to an uprising against the global and EUSSR borderline, for now, tyranny.
All the posing and posturing by May, her gross remain, in the main, Cabinet and Trojan remainers, like Leadsome, Gove and Fox, plus the great, 450 plus remain MPs, are all set to
The more leave supporters cry "Stop and set us free" the more vilification, nastiness and shouts of extremism are clamoured. As with the Nazis, the tactics to besmirch are in full swing. The next step is to justify, as Macron is doing, as was done to the Greeks and will spread across the whole Continent eventually, is a step into violent, vicious repression. "Just following orders".
So much for keeping the peace. The EUSSR failed to do that across the Balkans. That first conflict led to the first world war. That of the 1990s to a reshaping, for now, of a finely balanced standoff. That only after terrible atrocities on all sides and the useless, heavy handed approach of the EUSSR.
Behind all the faux genteel, media presented rosy EUSSR lies the probably already active across Europe, mixed nationality, riot police. Add to that the demands for greater integration, guaranteed by a proposed addition to the riot police, is that of an Army. Remember the remain campaign and Clegg's rebuttals? All of these plans are preparing for the full consequences of the Lisbon Treaty WE are still bound by. As we know, a whispered avoidance of mention.
So consider for one moment. The planned delay now being honed by the EUSSR, in cahoots with Oily Robbins and his treacherous civil service cabals, or the May deal that keeps us trapped, paying to dig our own graves and surrender to the global might of the deep state as of 2022 is all being set.
Bear in mind you need a colossal trap to snare 17, 442,747 leave voters. Such a construction of a bear pit seems to the elite and deep state quite feasible. Indeed I suspect regarded much as a "final solution". After all the leading power behind all this are the very people whose forebears spent years discussing just such an enterprise. They and their allies such as Ukraine have form. As an afterthought, the EUSSR does rather love the Ukraine Establishment, do they not?
As for the Nazi picture above and the link to it, here's one more link to be fearful of repetition. The warnings are real.
Have a fun weekend!

I love Holi, I always look forward to the full moon day in the month of Phalgun. Holi is one of the major festivals in India. It is fun and very promising. It is the day where you don't worry about what you wear, be careless and let the child in you escape. Women, men, kids enjoy throwing colored powder at each other, or sometimes water. It is the day where you are never too old to play and chase each other.
The first time I experience it was when we were descending from Annapurna. We were way too tired of trekking already that once we saw a glimpse of a vehicle, I already told to them that we needed a ride to Pokhara. All the way, we saw multicolored faces of trekkers who are trying to escape from playful kids. Others are game and took pictures of the event. It was an intriguing sight.
Pokhara is the center of action, the street becomes a colorful affair. Live music, street foods and drinking keep the crowds engaged. I was walking towards it and met a few people I knew while we were trekking, that's when I got my first slash of colors on my face and from that moment, I was hooked. I'll definitely do this again.
Holi Rock Festival in Pokhara.
This guy made sure he stand out from the rest with a good face painting.
I'm not sure what he's thinking, probably just enjoying the vibe here.
A local we met while enjoying the music.
Girls I met while we were in Himalaya (2920m) and suprisingly again in Pokhara.
Here are the rest of the photos, i think i have hundreds of it:
I'm not a Holi Expert but i did some research and found interesting places to visit during Holi:
Mathura & Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh – traditional holi celebration continues for weeks.
Barsana, Uttar Pradesh – Women beat up men with sticks
Shantiniketan, West Bengal – where Basant Utsav (Spring Festival) is celebrated with colours, music and dancing in a university.
Ahmedabad, Gujarat – bonfires are lit while people sing and dance celebrating of victory of good over evil. A pot of buttermilk is hung high while boys try to break it while forming as pyramids. Girls try to stop them by throwing some coloured water.
If you are interested on taking photos please be sure your camera is sealed, there are many options on doing so. If you can't, you can take your camera to a professional for some cleaning afterwards. Happy Holi!
Everest Base Camp, Khumbu Glacier and Ice Fall. Discover the culture of the Sherpas and explore the monasteries and engravings of the Tibetan Buddhists. Including Everest you will see 3 of the worlds 10 tallest peaks which also include Cho Oyu (8201m/26,906ft), Lhotse (8,516m/27,940ft)…

Past, present and future inhabitants have been and always will be fascinated by the adjacent Norman Motte and Bailey, for which the council kindly provided a sign post opposite number 3 Blue Row in the 1990s! Generations of children born and brought up in Blue Row must have played on the banks, without much regard for the long history of the site. It was probably built in the 11th or 12th century - see Professor Martyn Jope's conclusions below. Nothing can be seen of the castle itself now, apart from the mound, but when it was built, it would have been a stone and earth base with a timber framed construction above.
From Professor Martin Jope, who excavated the site in the 1950s:
"Swerford Castle Hill is a small but extremely good example of a Motte and Bailey Castle such as we know to have been erected in England in the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries, as a result of Norman influence and conquest."
Further information, including further references to Professor Jope, is available on the Bluerow history website.

I would just let a body shop do it if its anything more than swapping it over, if you're spending that much on a car.
I have finally placed my order with a dealer on the goldcoast for a black Gts with the kit....I haaaaate the rear spoiler and even following a long debate with the sales rep i was told if i want the kit i have no choice but to have the rear spoiler fitted at the factory.Once i get it i plan to remove the huge wing and fit either a Spoiler from Brz or import a spoiler from toyota uk where they are standard.Does anybody know if i should be expecting to have to fill and repair existing holes on the corner of the boot or is the alignment similar for both spoilers.I have up to 10 months to think about it or so i have been told. Thanks.
I would just let a body shop do it if its anything more than swapping it over, if you're spending that much on a car.
"Not all commodore drivers are wankers, but all wankers drive commodores"
Looking at the design of the aero kit, you'd expect there to be at least 2 mounting points either side of the boot give the width of the spoiler.
The spoiler comes a fair way in from the edge of the boot, but it is a simple repair any panel shop would be able to knock over in a hour or 2 including fitting / painting the new spoiler.
Though ultimately it will depend largely on what spoiler you use to replace it with as to what needs to be done.

The Gaslight Anthem are one of those bands that have been with me since I was a teenager. So, when I heard they were reuniting to perform their breakout album, The '59 Sound, live in Manchester I knew I had to be there. It was one of those albums that helped me appreciate great songwriting. It was such a change in gear from their first album "Sink Or Swim" and helped solidify the style that the band would go with moving forward. This tour is the first time the band have performed together in quite some time. Even though they have reformed for this tour, I don't think we're going to be getting any new music from them any time soon. Now having attended the show, it feels very much like a one and done deal to celebrate the 10 Year Anniversary.
Opening the show was the alternative rock act, Matthew Ryan & The Northern Wires. It was a good performance, to say the least. For me, it evoked a very old school feel. The crunchy guitars and subtle bass really had that feel of The Replacements or Soul Asylum. I said to my friend at the time it felt like that kind of music you'd hear on a teen TV show during it's ending montage. It was clearly heartfelt music and it was performed very earnestly. The sweet guitar licks here and there added a lot of personality to music that would just have been a series of uninterrupted chord progressions. I liked the set and it was a decent opening to what would be a great night. Although, I felt that music was a little generic. It sounded like a bunch of other bands and artists that have done the same thing, but with a lot more energy and pep. If you're into your early 90's alternative rock there's definitely something here for you.
Next on stage was the singer-songwriter, Dave Hause, and oh my god, I was not expecting to enjoy this set so much. Performing on stage with his younger brother, Tim Hause, the pair electrified the crowd with a fantastic set, without the need of loud electric guitars and drums. Thanks to their clear fanbase the set went down a lot better, as there were a lot of people singing along and adding to that energy that the pair already brought to the stage. Dave is a fantastic showman, showing so much enthusiasm and hype he played his set and you couldn't help but get drawn in by his energy. Tim added a lot musically to the set, playing backing guitar, mandolin and piano, whilst Dave sang his heart out and played his acoustic guitar. It was genuinely captivating to watch. The songs had a lot of emotion put into them, there were definitely moments where I got goosebumps, particularly during the song "C'mon Kid". I have since been listening to Dave Hause a lot since the show and hope to see him again live sooner, rather than later.
I was ready for this set and I really liked how The Gaslight Anthem laid out the set overall. They opened on four tunes, not from The '59 Sound, and it made me so happy to hear. In order they were: the big single "Handwritten", fan favourite "Old Haunts", hidden album gem "The Spirit of Jazz" and the emotional and beautiful "Mae". I loved this opening part of the set. By not just jumping into it, they were able to get the crowd going and the night flowing without blowing the point of the night too early. For me personally, I loved this. Especially "Mae", which is my personal favourite Gaslight Anthem song. With everyone singing along it made it even more special. Right from the get-go, the crowd was excellent, jumping around and singing along to every song.
After a great intro, they got into the main meat of the set. Playing The '59 Sound in full. The first three songs "Great Expectations", the title track "The '59 Sound" and "Old White Lincoln" were all well done and the band played with vigour and intensity. Frontman, Brian Fallon is excellent, his voice was really clear and soars on top of the live production. As they played through the album the crowd got rowdier. The set was flying by and I was enjoying myself a lot, yet something occurred to me. They seemed to be blasting through this set and weren't taking much time to actually talk to the crowd. In fact, there didn't seem to be much interaction between the band members themselves. Each member was playing their part well enough, however, it didn't feel like there was a connection between them at all.
Instead of talking to the audience and creating more of a show, the band opted to play song after song after song without slowing down all that much. This actually got really exhausting after a little while as the band didn't allow for the crowd to catch their collective breath. It also didn't help that they played, The '59 Sound in the album order. As it didn't feel conducive to this style of performance. I would have liked it a little more if they had slowed down and talked a little bit about the album, as it's the 10 year anniversary and all.
They continued through the album hitting all of the fan favourites, "High Lonesome", "Even Cowgirls Get The Blues" and the ever sombre and gorgeous sounding "Here Looking At You, Kid". It was a fantastic experience to hear this whole album in full. Hearing the passion that so many people have for it collectively in one glorious night. Wrapping up the set, they played some more fan favourites from over the years, and some songs I really wasn't expecting. The crowd came alive when they played their massive hit "45" and it was an emotional feeling to sing "National Anthem" with a crowd this size, especially since that was a B-side from the Handwritten album. Ending the show on a high with the ever-popular, "American Slang". Which got a huge ovation as everyone sang alone. Even, Dave Hause came back onto the stage to perform it with them. Which was cool to watch.
Overall, this was a great night. The Gaslight Anthem continue to be one of my favourite bands. Although they have said they're not working on new material right now, I still hope for a return in the future. As this show certainly proves they can still sell a big show. As much as I wanted to like everything, I still would have like more crowd interaction as well as more interaction between the members themselves. I can still count my lucky stars that I was able to be in attendance and I had a great time. The crowd really were excellent here as well, creating an amazing atmosphere and made it an unforgettable night.

Guns of winter take aim in annual trapshoot
Newspaper-sponsored event begins its 92nd year
Sun., Jan. 10, 2010
Cold and snow have never been able to deter the guns of winter that gather for eight consecutive Sundays to fire at clay targets in The Spokesman-Review Trapshoot.
The 92nd annual event began today at about 40 trapshooting clubs in Washington, Idaho and Montana.
Except for World War II, which silenced the shooting contest for three years, the rite of winter has gone on uninterrupted since 1916.
Scores are reported from clubs and published in the newspaper to ultimately determine the best of the best at enduring cold fingers and tracking 4 5/16-inch targets that speed away at 60 feet per second at any one of 72 different angles.
It's a family event at many clubs, where several generations might line up on the firing line together.
At the Spokane Gun Club today, nine teenagers were employed on the firing lines from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to keep scores, load traps and pick up empty shells.
Save for a few modern conveniences, such as snow blowers, voice-activated traps and throwers with nylon bushings that don't seize in cold weather, not a lot has changed about the sport since the Spokane Gun Club was founded as the Spokane Rod and Gun Club in 1892.

Host and Facilitator Jeannine Lewis Throughout our work, careers and life, we often experience disruption, usually unplanned. It may be an unexpected job separation, a divorce, a personal loss or company move. To experience this disruption often leaves us evaluating how this could have happened and why it happened to me. Even though you've done every thing you should have done and all the things you're supposed to do , you're left wondering why. Jeannine Lewis experienced these disruptions. Through working through them, she found she had to rewrite her own rules that focused on the work she was called to do. Jeannine used Finding Your Forte to rewrite her rules and now would like to invite others to do so as well.
Why is Finding Your Forte Important? All too often, professionals are merely focused on doing their job and don't have the opportunity to be strategic about performing in a way that plays to their strengths, leverages their passions and rewards them in ways that motivate them. Using purpose as an engagement strategy drives satisfaction, job performance and retention. This empowers you to put yourself in a position to have not just a job…or even a career...but a calling – as a way of living. It doesn't have to mean immediate abrupt and risky change. It does give you a long term vision so you can move in the right direction. You Need a FORTE becauseYour Best Needs A Plan

O Say, can UFC?
April 29, 2019
Former double-champion Conor McGregor has claimed via Twitter that his fighting days are over, saying, "I've decided to retire from the sport formally known as "Mixed Martial Art" today." This may seem like big news, as McGregor is one of the sport's most iconic fighters and a huge draw for the UFC. However, many are skeptical about the legitimacy of his claim, like Bloody Elbow writer Anton Tabuena, who says "…it's hard to believe this is anything but a negotiating tactic," citing a similarly empty threat McGregor made back in 2016. Notably, McGregor has been pushing for his upcoming fight with Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone to be a main event, but supposedly is willing to take a co-main in return for shares in the UFC company: "You can put me on the first fight of ESPN+ but just give me my shares." With the recent success of his Proper 12 Whiskey company and the obvious dangers of fighting, there are some legitimate reasons why he may be seriously quitting the sport. However, he's still relatively young at 30, (most fighters retire around 40) and has millions of fans that want to see him fight, so most analysts have agreed that McGregor is bluffing.
In other news, former bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw has voluntarily relinquished his title after testing positive for an unknown illegal substance. In a March 20th Instagram post, he stated that there was, "an adverse finding" in the sample. Until NYSAC or USADA release more information, one can only speculate about what Dillashaw got flagged for: based on USADA's guidelines, it could be anything from anabolic steroids to marijuana. The most popular theory right now is that Dillashaw unknowingly took tainted supplements, an increasingly common claim among fighters as drug testing steadily improves. The quintessential example of this is the buildup to Jon Jones' fight with Alexander Gustafsson in December, when a test showed metabolites (what the body leaves behind after processing a chemical) of the steroid Turinabol. Jones claimed that he took erectile dysfunction pills that had trace amounts of the drug in them, and the UFC ended up allowing him to fight in Los Angeles where the state athletic commission cut him a little more slack. Dillashaw also recently lost a title fight with flyweight champ Henry Cejudo by 32-second K.O. Due to the incredibly short duration and a controversial stoppage, it was widely believed that the two would have a rematch at bantamweight–this rematch is not so likely anymore.

PLATTSBURGH — For nearly 30 years, Plattsburgh movie fanatics have been able to find everything they need Under One Roof.
Built in early days of the '90s, when posters of Jonathan Taylor Thomas and a young Leonardo DiCaprio papered the walls of teen girls, Under One Roof enjoyed years of prosperity by renting out the newest VHS tapes and Nintendo games to city residents.
Before long, they had expanded from one store to three — one in Plattsburgh, Morrisonville and West Chazy.
Eventually the store moved into renting DVDs, and expanded their selection of video games.
Staying open in an era where digital streaming reigns supreme hasn't been easy, says owner Becky Leonard.
The other two locations have since been closed, leaving Plattsburgh as the business' sole location.
"It's been very challenging," she said.
But they have managed to stay afloat thanks to an influx of tourists, who come from everywhere — Montreal, Albany, Burlington — to peruse the store's retro gaming selection.
"We have a very diverse customer base," said Leonard. "We have longtime movie fanatics, who have been with us since we opened. We have people coming in out of the area to look at our retro gaming selection, which changes nearly every day. We don't really have a standard customer."
In an effort to stay relevant, Under One Roof now offers a variety of options — from rentals to vintage games, collectibles and more.
Half of the business' revenue now comes from sales rather than rentals, according to Leonard.
With the popularization of gaming culture in Plattsburgh — evidenced by the sizeable crowd at Mountain Lake PBS' Plattsnerd convention last year — Under One Roof has also managed to gain new momentum with its mishmash of gamer's delights; drawing in a crowd of regulars with twice-weekly "Magic the Gathering" tournaments.
"There's probably more here than people realize," Leonard said.
Under One Roof is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday, 12-9 p.m. For more information, visit underoneroofvideo.com.

Childhood Cancers in Child
While childhood cancer is a potentially life-threatening condition requiring intensive treatment, the majority of pediatric cancers are treatable. Thanks to recent advances in therapies, many forms of childhood cancer are curable using a combination of treatments, including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
What is cancer?
Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells. The cells are often shaped differently than healthy cells, don't function properly and can spread to many areas of the body. Oncology is the study of cancer and tumors.
Tumors are clusters of cells that are capable of growing and dividing uncontrollably. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous):
The term "cancer" is generally used when a tumor is malignant. There are two types of malignant tumors: locally invasive and metastatic:
Staging is the process of finding out whether cancer has spread and if so, how far. There is more than one system used for staging, and your child's physician can explain the stage of your child's cancer.
It's important to understand that cancer is not just one disease, but rather a group of diseases. All forms of cancer cause cells in the body to change and grow out of control.
How is pediatric cancer different from adult cancers?
There are big differences in the types of cancer and in survival rates. In general, childhood cancers are more successfully treated with a larger proportion of children cured compared with adult cancers. This difference is thought to be because childhood cancer is more responsive to therapy and a child can tolerate more intensive therapy when necessary.
What are the different types of childhood cancer?
Childhood cancers vary widely in how they affect a child, so how doctors diagnose and treat your child will depend on your child's unique circumstances. For more information about specific cancers, choose one below.
Hematologic malignancies
Solid tumors
What causes cancer?
There is no one single cause of cancer. Researchers and physicians believe the interaction of many factors that produces cancer. The factors involved may be genetic, environmental or behavioral.
In almost all cases, the cause of childhood cancer is unknown.
What are the risk factors for cancer?
While the cause of cancer is generally unknown, some cancers, particularly in adults, have been associated with certain exposures or risk factors:
How do genes affect cancer growth?
The discovery of certain types of genes that increase a person's chances of developing cancer has been an extremely important development for cancer research. Genes make proteins. Altered genes (some of which carry errors called mutations) cause altered proteins, which in turn cause tumors. Researchers have observed that more than 90 percent of cancers have some type of genetic alteration. Some of these alterations are inherited, while others occur by chance or as the result of environmental exposures.

Jefferson County files bankruptcy exit plan
- BIRMINGHAM | Attorneys for Jefferson County filed a 101-page plan Sunday to exit the largest municipal bankruptcy in American history. The plan calls for cutting the county's $4.2 billion debt by more than $1.2 billion and raising sewer rates annually by 7.41 percent for four years. Rates would rise by 3.49 percent annually for an undetermined amount of years after that. Most of the $4.2 billion debt stems from bonds that funded sewer system repairs. Commissioners have approved agreements with 11 creditors that hold the bulk of the countys sewer debt. The agreement calls for paying the creditors about $1.835 billion instead of $3.078 billion, and county attorney Ken Klee has said JPMorgan will give up about $842 million of its overall $1.2 billion in the county's sewer debt. Commissioner George Bowman has opposed the plan, which he has said puts too much of a burden on people in his district. The plan must be approved by Thomas Bennett, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge for the Northern District of Alabama. Bennett has scheduled a hearing to consider approving a proposed disclosure statement on Aug. 6. The statement essentially provides creditors with information about the county so theyll be able to make an informed vote on whether to approve the exit plan. County officials are looking to exit the bankruptcy by Dec. 20. 20628

South Alabama mosque faces opposition
- MOBILE | Dianne S. Howard opposes plans by the Islamic Society of Mobile to expand its mosque just feet from her home, yards away behind a wooden fence. Never mind that the dilapidated brick mosque, which is painted a pale yellow with white trim, is in visible need of an overhaul. For one, she said, traffic that's already bad during Friday afternoon prayers would only get worse if the mosque were enlarged. But her concerns — like those of others in her neighborhood — go beyond the number of cars that fill the parking lot. Three men who had attended the mosque have been indicted on federal terror charges, Howard noted, including the son of the longtime president. And young men seem to argue a lot in the parking lot after services, she said. The American Civil Liberties Union says dozens of construction or expansion projects involving mosques have run into opposition in more than 30 states, with increased traffic often cited as the major concern. The mosque in Mobile is one of them. 20573

Containing climate change is a very important driver for the deployment of bio-refineries. But it is not the only one.
Urbanization together with an increasing middle class has resulted in heavy air pollution in many mega cities around the world.
Since the 1980's Brazil has supported the introduction of ethanol/gasoline blends for cars and with the introduction of flex fuel vehicles more recently, effectively reduced air pollution in cities like Sao Paulo and Rio. Next to ethanol and advanced biofuels the use of electric cars and biogas for busses are also solutions being used in several cities.
More and more countries are increasingly dependent on oil and gas imports from countries with sometimes unstable regimes. For some countries this has a substantial impact on their trade deficit. The introduction of the Renewable Fuels Standard in the USA has boosted the production of ethanol and significantly decreased oil imports into the country.
Attracting new investment, job creation and an increased income for farmers in rural areas are other drivers for supporting the deployment of bio-refineries.

OXFORD, Miss. – October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to share information and resources about an issue that affects millions of people every year.
At the forefront of domestic violence are social workers who say it is one of the most common issues they come across. Faculty members in the University of Mississippi Department of Social Work are doing their part to educate the community and state about the issue.
"The best resource to offer is information about where and how to seek help," said Desiree Stepteau-Watson, Bachelor of Social Work program director and associate professor of social work. "It is also important to convey the message that victims will be supported, believed and heard."
Domestic violence can be anything from physical violence, sexual assault, intimidation, threats of violence and/or psychological abuse.
Among the signs that a person may be a victim of domestic violence are unexplained injuries, being concerned about disobeying their partner, being in constant contact, having to check in with their partner, injuries at various stages of healing, and cutting off relationships with family members and friends, Stepteau-Watson said.
Women between the ages of 18 and 24 are at the greatest risk of experiencing of domestic violence, but it can affect anyone, regardless of economic or educational level, race, religion, age group (including the elderly) or sexual orientation, Stepteau-Watson said.
This type of behavior in relationships can be learned at a young age, as children who grow up witnessing or experiencing violence at home may believe that it is a normal way to resolve conflict. Drug and alcohol use may contribute to the violence, but do not necessarily cause it to occur.
"Common myths about domestic violence include perceptions that it is easy to leave violent situations," Stepteau-Watson said. "Some people think if the abuse was that bad, then the victim should just leave, and if she or he doesn't leave, that must mean they like it.
"In fact, it can be extremely dangerous to leave an abusive partner. The abuse may escalate and become more dangerous if the victim attempts to leave. Leaving may put family members, children and friends at risk of harm."
Stepteau-Watson encourages anyone who suspects that a loved one is experiencing domestic violence to put their safety first by finding a safe place to talk, then focusing on what they want to do, not what they should do.
"Be sure to let them know that you want to be of support," Stepteau-Watson said. "It is also important to document what you observe, keep a record of what you see and hear. Such a record could be a useful piece of evidence in the future.
"Learn more about domestic violence and get information from local domestic violence agencies."
On a local level, victims can rely on the Family Crisis Services of Northwest Mississippi for resources.
In 2017, 185 domestic violence arrests were recorded in Lafayette County through the Oxford Police Department, University Police Department and the Sheriff's Department, said Mary-Margaret Chaffe, domestic violence advocate and program assistant at Family Crisis Services.
"That averages about 15.4 a month," Chaffe said. "The scarier part is the number of ones that go unreported.
"Family Crisis Services is here to support and believe our victims, survivors and families. Our mission is to reduce the trauma of violence by providing immediate and long-term support to survivors."
The organization provides victim advocacy, on-site counseling, resources, referrals, hospital accompaniment and court accompaniment services. It also operates a 24-hour crisis hotline, 800-230-9929.
"We are here for the victims and their families throughout their healing process," she said. "Having the community involved in the awareness campaigns that we do means everything to the families we represent. We need to stand up against domestic violence as a community because no one should suffer in silence."
Besides local groups, statewide agencies such as the Mississippi Coalition Against Domestic Violence can offer help. On campus, students can get help from the UM SAFE website or the Counseling Center.
The Master of Social Work program trains students to work with victims of domestic violence in mental health settings, courtrooms, hospitals, schools, family counseling and child protective services, Stepteau-Watson said.
"Our Master of Social Work program prepares graduates with the clinical assessment and intervention skills to address domestic violence with individuals, families and in communities," she said. "The macro-level training that our MSW program provides, enables graduates to work on policy initiatives on local, state and national levels."

On Saturday 2nd June, six female Merlin Rocket sailors assembled on the pontoon outside the Royal Southern Yacht Club, having entered themselves in the Dubarry Womens Open Keelboat Championships.
The event, in its 10th year, would see over 170 women on the water, sailing 20 boats split into 2 fleets. With the very kind loan of J80 'Wildcat III', the team were excited to get on the water and go racing together.
We had all the essentials for the weekend ahead; team hoodies and t-shirts, essential boat snacks, fully leaded cool box, tonnes of suncream, a luxury bucket and random dinghy kit.
Once out of the estuary, the sails were hoisted and we got down to the serious business of who was in control of what. With limited rig tweaking to do and few control lines, the team were all looking around for a bit of string to hold on to for comfort.
The two team members with the most 'big boat' experience were placed at either end of the boat to keep the 'holiday yachters' in check, Lucy Burn took the helm, with Louise Johnson on the foredeck. The formidable team of the 'Taylor Sisters' Pippa Kilsby and Jen Dodds teamed up to manage the headsail and the kite. At 6.5 times the sail area of a Merlin Rocket kite, this was going to need some big guns to manage in a breeze! Andrea Downham was assigned mainsail trim and Rachel Jackson took on the role of emergency kicker control, tack line and kite packer.
With a lovely building breeze we put in some practice maneuvers. The team were all pretty comfortable moving around the boat as a J80 is only 30cm wider than the Merlin Rocket and has significantly fewer obstacles to trip over.
The course was set and radioed out to the competitors; this in itself required some concentration and excellent eyesight to locate the race marks amongst the various bouys in the Solent. There was a lot of discussion about tides and sea breeze and we set out a plan for the race ahead, it became clear that as a team we knew a lot about tactics, we just needed to apply it to a bigger boat. Sailing in a mixed fleet also required consideration of avoiding the huge wind shadows from our larger competitors.
The fleet were very civilised on the start line. The tide opened up a lovely gap for us at the committee boat end and we were off first time, without a general recall or black flag in sight! The breeze was fairly constant and we worked on managing the tide to pick our way up the beats of the windward-leward course., finishing 2nd to Cressida Robson's J109 'Jybe Talkin'.
The start of Race 2 was a little bit more fruity; we were being held out of the start line. The team were all calling to bail out and tack off, but Lucy held her cool and showed she knew exactly where her bow was, pulling off an impressive bear away into a perfect gap to rescue our start from complete disaster. We kept our heads and came away with a 5th.
Once bitten twice shy, the team were more safe with their third start. The course this time had a tighter reach out to a gybe mark to run down to the finish. Pippa and Jen's teamwork ensured the kite was well controlled throughout, keeping us in front of the chasing J80 of Josie Gliddon and securing a race win.
Back ashore on the beer terrace we toasted our results; we were leading IRC Class 2 on equal points with our fellow J80 Boisterous, and Chimp (Berret Half Ton) one point behind.
Sunday dawned sunny and windless. We were grateful for our engine to get us out to the start line, where we drifted in the sunshine and hoped the wind would fill in enough to avoid a snakes and ladders race. The race officer Cathy Smalley and her team did a great job keeping us all up to date with their thoughts and waited for a reliable breeze to set in. A short windward-leeward course was set, using inflatables.
We made use of our dinghy experience to roll tack and trim the boat in the lighter airs, helping us to win race 4. A challenging final beat in race 5 saw us lose some time which was difficult to recover in the downwind leg to the finish, but with a 4th place we had secured the Class 2 win. With racing over for the event, we returned to shore to wait and for the overall championship results, which are calculated using some magic and a scientific calculator.
IRC Class 1 winners Marie-Claude Heys and Becky Walford's J112e Davanti Dream Team won the overall championship with a clean score sheet. Wildcat III came in 2nd overall, with Josie Gliddon's J80 Boisterous in 3rd.
The Women's Open Keelboat Championships is a fantastic event with a lot of work put in behind the scenes to ensure it runs smoothly. The racing is tight and competitive, but a lot of fun at the same time. The event provided us with a great opportunity to transition into a larger boat, to sail with friends who we are so often competing against. We learned loads from each other and are already looking to secure the Wildcat III for next year (hint hint).
Thank you to the hosts Hamble River Sailing Club, Dubarry for their support of the event, Andy Ash Vie for lending us Wildcat III and Ocean Yacht Systems for our team tops. Congratulations Davanti Dream Team, we'll see you next year!

Upcoming meeting on bike/ped plan, plus corrections to the May 8 post
May 24, 2016
First, a key presentation is coming up early next month about the bike/ped plan. Whether you walk, bike, or drive, anyone who leaves his/her house should attend the city's open house about the bicycle/pedestrian plan update. The event happens on Monday, June 6, at the Durham County Main Library, 300 N. Roxboro St., from 4 to 7 p.m. There will be maps, surveys, and interactive presentations, the latter of which occur at the top of each hour. (And then, civically minded readers, head over to City Hall for the City Council meeting.)
Secondly I need to correct and/or clarify several points I made in writing about the state of Durham's sidewalks in the May 8 post. I apologize for these errors and the lack of clarity.
1) I walked all of Dearborn Drive from Old Oxford Road — near Oxford Manor — to Maplewood Drive. Parts of this stretch southeast of Ruth Street don't have sidewalks; however, according to the city's transportation department, it is a separate project that did not score highly in the DurhamWalks! plan. This was not clear from the post.
2) The sidewalk petitions plan is no longer in effect; so if you want a sidewalk, you can petition City Council. If Council approves the petition, then your request goes into the project queue to be constructed when funding became available. In other words, no jumping to the front of the line anymore.
In the comments section, there was a discussion about the sidewalk petition process. It determines that sidewalks not in the DurhamWalks! Pedestrian Plan will be assessed at full cost of construction at the time they're built.
Sidewalks on the DurhamWalks! Pedestrian Plan will be assessed at $35 per linear foot once constructed. According to the city, there has not yet been a discussion regarding whether this process will change as the plan update is adopted.
3) And finally, four of the top unfunded sidewalk projects that I listed are now either funded or partially funded. Here's a timeline from the city:
• North Roxboro Street from Pacific to Murray: This project is in design, with anticipated construction beginning February 2019.
• East Geer Street from Midland Terrace to Glenn School Road: No current funding, will be reanalyzed and prioritized in plan update.
• South Alston Avenue between Cecil Street and Riddle Road: Design complete, anticipated construction beginning June 2018.
• North Duke Street between Carver Street and Roxboro Road: Funding for sidewalk on East side of road from Murray Ave to Roxboro Road. Construction anticipated to begin August 2021.
• Horton Road between Stadium Drive and Roxboro Road: Partially funded, will be reanalyzed and prioritized in plan update.

The South African SKA
site in the Karoo, between Carnarvon and Williston is currently a hub of
construction activity, and plans are on track to deliver the 64 MeerKAT
antennas by the end of 2016.
The SKA
project is an international effort to build the world's largest radio
telescope, which is to be co-hosted by South Africa and Australia. The 64-dish
MeerKAT is due to come online in 2016 as one of the most powerful telescopes in
the world in its own right.
Contractors are busy on infrastructure –
building roads, an all-weather landing strip and massive sheds. These sheds are
where MeerKAT's
radio telescope dishes will be constructed.
A very special bunker called the Karoo
Array Processor Building is taking shape 5 metres underground. The on-site
facility houses the centralised telescope equipment for the Karoo Array
Telescope- (KAT-) 7 and MeerKAT. This will store all the data processing racks,
power and back-up equipment for MeerKAT.
Africa's share of the iconic SKA project
means that the continent is set to become a sought-after science destination.
Over the next decades, many top scientists and research students will come here
to do cutting-edge science. The SKA construction will boost skills development
in the fields of science and technology in SA and the rest of Africa as well.
The MeerKAT project has been described as
the most exciting cm-wave telescope construction project underway on the planet
and will certainly attract young people to careers in science and engineering.
Carnarvon, in the Northern Cape, where the
core of the SKA will be situated, are already experiencing benefits for their
scholars. Two laboratories were recently opened at Carnarvon High School
thanks, in part, to the SKA SA project.
The SKA
SA project says it has committed to helping build up educational resources
in the area, forming partnerships with the private sector to support local
schools, and working closely with the Northern Cape Department of Education.
The technologies developed by the SKA will
also be utilised in other sectors of the economy. Reconfigurable open
architecture computing hardware (ROACH) boards and field-programmable gate
arrays can be used for high-speed data processing, digital signal processing
(important for the migration to digital TV), data storage and high-performance
The SKA presents huge opportunities for
young men and women in Africa to be the engineers, computer scientists and
astrophysicists that will make the technology happen and produce the
transformational science outcomes that will only be possible with the SKA.
Are you one of SA's next big Engineers? Do
you have the needed qualifications and soft skills to get the job done? Then
apply for these amazing Engineering jobs, which include Structural Engineer, Civil
Engineer, Resident Engineer, Civil Technologist and more. Apply online now or contact
one of branches today to discuss your career opportunities.

A Hayden Lake homeowners association installed a floating wetland next to its community dock Thursday, with the goal of improving water quality in one of the lake's murky bays.
Water sedges, monkey flowers and nutrient-loving grasses sprouted from two rafts constructed from spongy, plastic membranes. As the plants grow, their roots will form a thick mat that sucks phosphorus out of the bay.
"They're basically growing like hydroponics," said Karen Hayes, who is part of the Kootenai Environmental Alliance's Hayden Lake Project.
KEA is looking for ways to improve water quality in the lake, which has exceeded federal water quality limits for phosphorus since the late 1990s.
Adrienne Cronebaugh, KEA's executive director, said the floating wetlands could be a partial solution to the problem of excess nutrients in the lake, which has been affected by rapid residential development as well as past logging and farming.
KEA used grant money to purchase the two floating wetlands, each about 70 square feet. The wetlands are made by Floating Island International, a Montana company that sells them for about $30 per square foot.
KEA piloted the floating wetland concept two years ago on a 1-acre private pond in the Hayden Lake watershed. North Idaho College students tracked water quality in the pond, documenting decreases in phosphorus levels and coliform bacteria. The pond's pH also improved after the floating wetlands were installed, with the water becoming less acidic.
When the organization was ready to launch the wetlands in the lake, it chose McLeans Bay for the demonstration site. The bay's water quality will be tracked for five years to evaluate the floating wetlands' effectiveness.
The 25-acre bay on the north side of the lake is "a perfect petri dish" for the project, said Diane Lawrence, who belongs to the McCauley Emerald Homeowners Association, which has been working cooperatively with KEA.
Water lilies often cover the shallow bay, and underwater weeds are a problem for boaters.
"A couple of summers ago, the clarity of the bay was horrible," Lawrence said. "We had trouble backing the boats out, the vegetation was so intense."
A neighbor who had a Jet Ski ended up selling it because the intake was constantly choked with weeds, said Lawrence's husband, Tom.
Protecting the lake's water quality is good for property values, the couple said, but the issue is multifaceted. Nutrients enter the lake through a variety of sources, including erosion, fertilizers and runoff from residential construction.
Better development standards are helping address runoff, Tom Lawrence said. Residents also need to know how their actions affect Hayden Lake's water quality, he added. Fertilizing lawns and using phosphorus-rich soaps contribute to the nutrient load.
Meanwhile, the floating wetlands have attracted interest from homeowners associations in other bays. Diane Lawrence can picture them taking off on Hayden Lake.
On other lakes, the floating wetlands have been planted with flowers or vegetables.
They're safe from hungry deer, and they don't require watering, Diane Lawrence said.
