Construction begins on Cole Coppola Memorial Fishing Pier at Vero Beach's Riverside Park
Dr. Nick Coppola speaks to a crowd at the Father's Day Rose Ceremony hosted by Cox-Gifford Seawinds Funeral Home and Crematory on Sunday, June 18, 2017, about coping with the grief of losing his father and son and the comfort he found through friends and family. PATRICK DOVE/TCPALM
VERO BEACH — Construction has begun on a memorial fishing pier that supporters hope will remind others of the importance of being kind.
"We're trying to give back to the community that embraced us at a very difficult time," said Nicholas Coppola, whose son's 2014 death spurred the creation of the Live Like Cole Foundation and the idea for the Cole Coppola Memorial Fishing Pier at Riverside Park.
Early on the morning of Sept. 27, 2014, Cole Coppola, a 16-year-old John Carroll Catholic High School student, was bicycling on 17th Street when he was hit by a motorist and knocked off the Alma Lee Loy Bridge and into the Indian River Lagoon.

"We miss him. We love him. He was a great kid," Nicholas Coppola said.
The $220,000 pier is being built on the east side of the city-owned park, along the lagoon and north of Memorial Island. The project, funded through state and federal grants and the Live Like Cole Foundation, is expected to be completed by the end of August, Nicholas Coppola said.
The pier is a way of memorializing Cole, but it also will create a "safe space" where people can go and quietly reflect, he said.
"We're very excited about it," Nicholas Coppola said. The motto of the foundation, he said, is "Take action, spread kindness."
To help raise money for the project and other community efforts, the foundation is selling the pier treads. About 99 of the 320 treads remain. Each $300 pier tread is 8-by-4 feet, large enough for 40 characters to include the name of an individual or group, he said.
The foundation holds golf tournaments and other fundraisers throughout the year to pay for scholarships and community projects, such as the $60,000 raised to help pay for the Vero Beach High School band's upcoming trip to London for the 2019 New Year's Day parade and part of the $123,000 repair of the city-owned dock at Royal Palm Pointe, which should begin this fall.

Helping children is part of the foundation's way of giving back to the community for Cole's lost potential, Nicholas Coppola said.
The foundation also is launching Vero's first bike-sharing program along Ocean Drive. Self-serve bike racks will be placed in three locations — as well as in all city parks — with $800-$1,000 bicycles bought by the foundation.
Rentals, reserved online or through an app, will cost $5 for the first hour and $3 for each additional hour. Bikes can be returned any of the bike racks in the program.
Bikes will be equipped with reflectors and lights and with tracking systems to avoid theft, NIcholas Coppola has said.

About me
I practice from a farm just outside Cirencester but also do home visits in the Fairford/Lechlade and also the Northleach/Bourton areas. For clients who prefer a more clinical setting; appointments can be arranged at The Fairford Therapy Centre on 01285 711329.
I offer a friendly and professional service using Solution Focused Methods which enables my clients to move towards their positive and constructive goals. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy concentrates on the present and the future without having to revisit past events or traumas.
During the initial consultation you can tell me about yourself and your issue and I can give you a detailed but easily understood explanation of how the brain works and how Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help. I can answer any questions you may have and together we can work out how future sessions can be tailored to your needs.
If you decide that you would like to proceed with hypnotherapy you will receive a relaxation CD or MP3 file to listen to at home to support any work done in treatment sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the highly regarded Clifton Practice in Bristol where I obtained a Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy. I also hold the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD) which is widely recognised as the 'Gold Standard' in hypnotherapy training.
Additional training includes Hypnotherapy for Children and Solution Focused therapy.
Before becoming a hypnotherapist I worked with primary school children on a one to one basis. This allowed me to see first-hand how early children can develop negative beliefs about themselves and how that impacts on their self-confidence. Changing this negative belief system is one of the main reasons that I became a hypnotherapist.
I hold an Enhanced DBS certificate.
Areas of hypnotherapy I deal with
If you have been diagnosed or suspect you may have one of the medical conditions starred above, you should consult your GP for advice, diagnosis and treatment and always inform your health professional before starting any alternative or additional therapies or treatments.

Martha Elizabeth Mathis Parker
This is the third in our photo series on the children of Joshua and Rebecca Grant Mathis. Martha Elizabeth was their third child. The following information from Clifford Parker's book, "The Parker Family of Parkertown, New Jersey and Allied Lines", gives an overview of her family after her marriage to Leslie Parker.
The 1930 Beach Haven Census shows the Leslie and Martha Parker family with only two children, Lester and Marjorie E. I believe Marjorie E. was Elizabeth who is listed above. Phyllis has not been born at the 1930 census.

text: Treating pancreatic disorders requires special expertise and the work of a dedicated team as they are relatively rare and involve complex diagnostics and surgery. The Humanitas Pancreatic Surgery Unit has a great deal of experience in treating pancreatic disease and actively works with other specialist Services of the hospital (gastroenterology, endoscopy, oncology, radiotherapy, radiology, nuclear medicine, diabetology, endocrinology, anatomical pathology), to offer the appropriate medical expertise and the most up-to-date technology to diagnose, treat and research these disorders. It also works with numerous other Italian and foreign scientific centres (such as the Karolinska in Stockholm and Dublin St. Vincent Hospital), to help improve the know-how in this sector of medicine. Pancreatic surgery is considered one of the most complex of abdominal surgical operations, typically considered of high risk. Various scientific studies have demonstrated that the risk of serious complications following pancreatic surgery are reduced in centres where they perform these operations on a regular basis. The Humanitas pancreatic Surgery Unit performs standard pancreatic resections; it has particular expertise in performing atypical operations saving the pancreatic parenchima in the case of benign or low grade malignant tumours. The majority of operations must be performed with "traditional" surgery, that is with a classic incision of the abdominal wall, owing to the high technical difficulty of this operation. However, in certain cases it is possible to perform the operation laparoscopically, thus with a mini invasive technique, less post operative pain and the same treatment efficacy. The Humanitas Pancreatic Surgery Unit pays a great attention to perioperative management (pain control, mobilisation, nutrition etc), adopting enhanced recovery programs in close collaboration with the anesthetists and dedicated nurses.

Just like your annual well-visit to the doctor, it's smart to also schedule a yearly check-up for your retirement portfolio. If conditions change, such as marriage, divorce, having a baby, or even scoring a raise at work, you should be checking in more regularly to align with your goals and help keep your portfolio on track.
But, just like folks who call on Dr. Internet at every mysterious ache, it's true that you can bring on undue stress if your portfolio check-ins turn obsessive. There's a balance between checking on your retirement portfolio too little and too much.
"There is no need to check your portfolio compulsively, even during times when the markets are rocky. Doing so can only cause anxiety and you may react emotionally," says Dara Luber, senior manager, retirement, at TD Ameritrade.
Emotional investing can lead to mistakes, including making changes that try to time the market instead of staying focused on the longer-term plan. "If you have a well-thought-out plan, market unpredictability shouldn't typically cause concern and keep you up at night—even during market downturns," says Luber.
It's important to review your goals and portfolio at least once a year, says Luber, checking to make sure they're still in line with your risk tolerance, time horizon, and short- and long-term objectives.
Set up an automatic savings plan for regular contributions. "Contribute regularly to a retirement account—even if it's just a few dollars every month. And it's never too late to start. Having the money automatically deducted from your account each month takes away the guesswork of trying to time the market and stay focused on the long-term goal of arriving in retirement prepared," says Luber. If you get a raise, consider saving the extra income before you get used to spending it.
Revisit your goals and insure you have a plan in place. "Review your portfolio at least once a year to insure your allocations still align with your needs. There are tools such as TD Ameritrade's Portfolio Planner that can help you determine your target allocation and how close you may be to hitting that target," says Luber.
Rebalance your stock and bond allocations. You may need to rebalance if stock and bond allocations have shifted because of market movements. Let's say you have a baseline portfolio allocation of 60% stocks and 40% bonds. If the stock market made a big move higher since you last checked your portfolio, you may now see a 65% stock and 35% bond allocation. Rebalancing can bring you back to your baseline allocation target. For instance, it can be as simple as selling 5% of your stock allocation and buying 5% of your bond allocation to bring you back to your 60/40 goal.
Review your risk level and explore income options. "Pre-retirees or retirees who are more nervous about down markets may not want to take as much risk with their investments and may be ready to explore moving some of their allocation from equities to income oriented investment, "says Luber.
Stay the course and use discipline. Stay invested and keep working toward your goals in both up and down markets. "To get the benefits of dollar-cost averaging, continue to invest. Investors who exit the equity markets frequently due to the swings could erode investment performance over the long-term," says Luber.

text: Well, thank you very much. I'm thrilled to welcome everyone to the very first meeting of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council. The Opportunity and Revitalization Council is a very important event in the White House. We've been working long and hard -- right, Scott? -- Yes, sir. -- on getting this up and running. And it's something we're very proud of. The new council will coordinate efforts across the entire federal government to deliver jobs, investment, and growth to America's most underserved. And they really are underserved communities. And all over the country, we have areas that are, I guess you could say, in some cases, not treated properly. And they are indeed underserved. We are pleased to be joined by many members of my Cabinet, including Secretary Ben Carson, who leads this very important initiative. Thank you very much, Ben. I appreciate it. Good job. It's been a hard one, right? Absolutely. Not been easy to do. Also joining us is the Council's new executive director, Scott Turner. Scott is a former NFL player -- and a very good one -- and a state legislator, and a businessman, a leader in his church and his community. Scott, I want to thank you for doing such a good job. But your results, hopefully in a year and two and three, will be very well seen. That's when I'm really going to thank you, right? Yes, sir. All right? Thank you, Scott. I appreciate it. The Council will focus its efforts on economically distressed communities across the country, including Opportunity Zones -- which are, as you know, up and running and doing incredibly well, beyond expectation -- which we are designated by our nation's governors under a crucial provision of our new tax cuts. That was a part of what we got approved with the tax cut. And I don't know that people talk about it, but it was very important. We're providing massive tax incentives for private investment in these areas to create jobs and opportunities where they are needed the most. This is all throughout the country. This Council will further leverage federal resources and authorities to support these communities however possible. We will work to streamline regulations, improve education, promote affordable housing, reduce crime, and expand jobs and skilled training for Americans all throughout our country. Our actions will directly improve the lives of countless low-income Americans. It's pretty much aimed at that. Together we can lift up every forgotten community. And we talked about the forgotten men and women. And a lot of people were forgotten in this country. No longer. And unleash the boundless potential of our people. I look forward to hearing about all of the incredible progress being made. And I'd like to start, perhaps, with Ben Carson, who is doing a terrific job at HUD. And, Ben, we appreciate it. The whole country appreciates it. You really have. And please say a few words. Well, Mr. President, we're, first of all, thankful for your leadership on this initiative. You know, this whole thing came out of the 2017 tax cuts and jobs bill. That's how Opportunity Zones were invented. And they provide an opportunity for people to take unrealized capital gains and invest them into the neglected communities of our country. And some people have criticized this, and they've said, "It's just a mechanism for rich people to get richer." The fact of the matter is, rich people are going to take their money and they're going to invest it in something anyway. And they will become richer. Exactly. But they're investing in these great areas. So, that's a good thing, not a bad thing. And that's the key: having them invest in areas that have traditionally been neglected. This is what's going to make the big difference. Because we have this Council here, 13 different agencies -- a bunch of federal entities involved and using all of their influence, amalgamating that -- we have synergy. And we can really focus, we can target, and coordinate in such a way that federal programs will have their maximum impact here. So, what the proof in the pudding is going to be: We will see these areas revitalized. I've already visited a number of them, and we haven't even come out with all the rules and regulations yet, where money has been invested. I was at a foundry in St. Louis last week; it's acting as the nidus for the development in Mississippi. There was a sawmill that was abandoned, had been bought because of the Opportunity Zones. Not only have they revitalized that, but they're hiring a lot of people now. The building industry is coming in and building houses for those people. These are the kinds of things that make the difference. It's not the rhetoric. It's not talking about -- you know, as some political factions over the years have done -- "how much you need us." We're not talking about that. We're just going to show people what can happen when we direct the federal resources at taking care of their problems. And everybody on this Council, all these agencies, are strongly dedicated to making sure that the forgotten men and women of this country, as you said in your Inaugural Address, will no longer be forgotten. Good. That's true. That's so true. Scott, could you say a few words? Yes, sir. Thank you, Mr. President. We appreciate your vision and your leadership in creating the White House Council. And I'm very humbled, as I was sharing with the Council before, to be here with several members of my family through the years of coming out of what we call now "Opportunity Zones" and distressed communities. This is very close to my heart. And the team that we've assembled here, not just at this table, but those that have been assisting along the way, is a tremendous team. And I've been blessed to play on a lot of teams throughout my career, but as I was telling the Council before, this is possibly the greatest team that I've been involved with because we have an opportunity to make a generational impact. And for that, I'm grateful. So, thank you. Well, thank you very much, Scott. And we have tremendous faith in you and your leadership. We chose you for a very good reason. You're an outstanding young man. You're still a young man. [Laughter] I'm a little older than you. Just a little bit. But we have tremendous confidence in you, Scott. Thank you, sir. So go out there and do it. Will do. Wilbur, would you like to say a few words? Yes, sir. Thank you, Mr. President, for hosting us today. We look forward to leading the Economic Development workstream of this council. We're taking some innovative steps at Commerce to encourage private investment in the Zones, and our Economic Development Administration and Minority Business Development Agency are working to direct the funds where they're supposed to go. Specifically, EDA has already issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity for public works and economic adjustment assistance programs to make all entities within the qualified Opportunity Zones generally available for EDA funds. Those will supplement the funding of the Opportunity Zone program itself. And as we look to the future, we anticipate that state and local communities will take advantage of this opportunity. Part of the process will include finding new and innovative ways to communicate the Opportunity Zone programs to state and local leaders and to potential investors. Since fiscal year '18, EDA has already invested in 16 small Opportunity Zone projects, and these will help make the Zones more attractive to investors in the tax-oriented program. I look forward to discussing how to leverage private investment and future meetings. Our Minority Business Development Agency is planning Opportunity Zone summits in a number of cities throughout the country to reach that community. The first one was held last month in Philadelphia; it had 189 attendees. So there's tremendous interest and enthusiasm, including in some of the very storm-ravaged areas, such as North Florida. And Florida has 427 Opportunity Zones, and the state economic development team has now agreed to plan the rollout of the Opportunity Zones as a master tool to encourage investment in those communities. Mississippi and other states are doing very similar things. Right. Thank you. So it's got a lot of momentum. Thank you, Wilbur. That's great. Appreciate it. How about the great Larry Kudlow? Yes, sir. Thank you. The market is way up today, Larry. Yep. So today, you're great. [Laughter] When the market goes down -- when it's down, he's not so great. But it's been mostly up, I have to say. I'm only as good as my last trade, sir. [Laughter] Just briefly, to summarize what Ben is doing and Scott: This will help. Through the use of tax incentives and deregulation, we'll use private investment capital to help spread the prosperity we're enjoying to every nook and cranny of the economy. I think that's the key part. Every single area of the economy will benefit from this as you rebuild the overall economy. And I think this is a terrific thing, and I think we've got to promote it and message it and do whatever Secretary Carson says. But it's my honor to be part of the group. And, Scott, you're terrific. You're a [Inaudible] great American. Did you play for the New York Giants? Did we ever get you -- the New York Giants? No, sir. Washington Redskins, Denver Broncos, and San Diego Chargers. Good. That's great. Thank you. Thank you, Larry, very much. Sonny Perdue. So the top representatives of China are here right now. We're going to meet with them later. They're going to be buying a lot of product from us. You know that. That's good news. More than anybody would believe for your farmers. Do you have anything to say, Sonny? Well, certainly. Forty percent of these economic zones are in rural areas, Mr. President. And USDA has a prime objective in helping to raise them as well. I would submit to you that this may be the sleeper provision of your tax cuts. We've already seen the growth of GDP and jobs and employment and economic prosperity. But I believe this may be, as Scott said, the generational provision of that that many people have ignored. So I look forward to working here with this group to make sure that happens -- not just for today, not just for your administration, but in the future, raising these communities. Very good. Thank you. Rick? Mr. President, in the energy sector -- and I want to -- I got a little cross-purpose going on here. Earlier in the week, you had a great event here at the White House on First Step -- a concept that you championed, that you pushed through Congress, that you signed into law -- and to these prison reform reentry programs that are going to be able to bring people who -- because of the program that you championed and that you passed on First Step -- to give these people coming out of prison the opportunity to go into an Opportunity Zone. For instance, at the Department of Energy, because of what we're seeing and the growth in the energy industry, a truck driver that -- we need a great deal of truck drivers in the Bakken or in Louisiana or over in the Permian Basin -- those truck drivers being able to shift over from a year ago being in prison, to -- through one of these reentry programs, into an Opportunity Zone, a job driving a truck, making $100,000 a year, Sonny. I mean, that's -- you talk about transformational for a family. That's what we're looking at here. And you couldn't have had any better. I've worked with this man, Mr. President. Scott Turner is a stud. [Laughter] Very good. That's great. I wish we got more media coverage on the whole thing that we're doing with criminal justice reform. For whatever reason, the media chose not to cover that very strongly. They don't like that image for me with helping people getting out of prison. They don't like that image of Trump, and so they wanted to keep that nice and low key. They didn't cover it very much, which is unfair, because they cover other things. Look at the media. Look at all of them. But that one they chose not to cover too much. But you know what? I feel very happy about it -- criminal justice reform. And because of the great economy, people getting out of prison are really, for the first time -- really, for the first time in the history of our country, they're getting jobs and they're doing a fantastic job, for the most part. Some problems. And you have problems with everybody. But they're doing a phenomenal job, and employers are really happy. So perhaps you people can cover that because I think it's a very important subject. I mean, the important thing is that the employers are so happy with what's taking place. It's an incredible thing that's happening. Elaine Chao, please. Well, at the Department of Transportation, we have 10 grants that are a total of $2.3 billion, and we are incorporating the principles of the Opportunity Zones into these grants so that recipients will think more about these grants and how to incorporate the Opportunity Zones into what they're doing. That's good. We're proud of you. You're doing a great job. Alex? Mr. President, there are about 35 million Americans living in these Opportunity Zones. The unemployment rate within them is, on average, about one and a half times the national level. And so this is an opportunity for all of them to find jobs, but it's also an opportunity for us to grow our economy because we have 1 million more open jobs right now than individuals looking for jobs. And so, as with other agencies, the Department of Labor -- we're adding preference points to all our grants where we're legally able to do so to focus those work development opportunities on Opportunity Zones. And I want to highlight two examples. You mentioned criminal justice reform. One example: our efforts on the reentry, providing workforce development dollars to individuals that are reentering. And we've added preference points on those. This is a wonderful opportunity for individuals that are leaving prison to learn skills, to hold a job. And those investors that are going to look to these Opportunity Zones are going to want to know that there are individuals that have the skills to actually work at these factories that are going to be built. And so, across the board, we're doing it for reentry programs. Homeless veterans -- we have veterans that are homeless, and for whatever reasons, whether it's addiction issues, whether it's not having the right skill, we have workforce development programs for them. And so we're adding these preference points to our programs and we're focusing them on these Zones. And you just think of it: From the founding of our country until a year ago -- because this really started happening a year ago -- people getting out of prison couldn't get jobs. Couldn't get them. The stigma, the problem, whatever. And now they're being sought, actually. That's right. They're being -- they're having a choice. Like we got Choice for our vets; that's a different kind of a choice. We get choice -- they have choice now in terms of jobs. Never happened before. Never happened in our country's history. And again, the employers -- the feedback has been extraordinary, not just good. It's been extraordinary. I've spoken to a couple that said, "Why didn't I do this years ago?" But they couldn't get jobs and so they'd end up back in prison. They'd have to -- they were forced to do other things that weren't so good in some cases, and they'd end up back in prison. And this is the first that that's happened since the founding of our country. A lot of it has to do with the great economy. And I think a lot of it has to do with the mindset that we're helping to create. So, you're doing a fantastic job. All of you. Such a -- such an important thing. Andrew, please. Thank you, Mr. President, for your leadership on the Opportunity Zones, and Secretary Carson's and Mr. Turner's. This summer, EPA will announce more than $15 million in grants to revitalizing strong -- struggling communities. We've included the Opportunity Zone designation as a tie-breaking criteria in the application process. This means you're helping them take advantage of our many infrastructure loans and grant programs. Last year, we distributed more than $2 billion in loans to six cities with Opportunity Zones. And last week, we announced availability of $6 billion in water infrastructure loans. Last month, we gave a loan to the city of Baltimore. And tomorrow, I'll be in Miami to announce another loan -- Great. -- to help them with their water infrastructure. And then, finally, we're helping struggling areas of the country meet their Nonattainment Air Quality Standards. When a city in urban areas are "nonattainment" for the air quality, it detracts with the amount of business that they can attract to their city. Right. This week, we are announcing that Cleveland is now meeting their standards for a particular matter, which should allow Cleveland to attract new business and expand existing businesses. That's terrific. I love hearing that about Cleveland. I like Cleveland. You know why, right? [Laughter] We had a very good day in Cleveland. A couple of days. David, please. So, Mr. President, with the leadership of this group, we've worked very hard to focus on some of our Native American communities. There's lots of opportunity that can attract investment there with this as a supporting effort. Also, small rural communities that are surrounded by federal lands, this can be attractive for critical mineral development and some other opportunities. So we have some grant programs designed to attract. Right. You're doing great. Thank you. Appreciate it. Betsy? Thanks, Mr. President, and thanks for hosting this day. Thank you. Opportunity Zones hold great promise for education and workforce development. In Opportunity Zones, one fifth of the residents do not have a high school diploma. And many of those that do are ill prepared for the careers available. Two specific areas that we can be most helpful in is the development of charter schools. Currently, 70 percent of the Opportunity Zones do not have a charter school. We can help private investors help with facilities, and we will incentivize grant competitions to help encourage that. Also, career and technical education development for facilities, equipment, technology. And then this partners very well -- Opportunity Zones partner very well with our Education Freedom Scholarships initiative -- Right. -- to really provide families more options and opportunities right in their backyard. So I'm very thankful for this opportunity to work on this with the group here and for your leadership on this. Thank you very much, Betsy. I appreciate it. Thank you, sir. So this is a very important day and I wish everybody good luck. And in particular, Scott, I have no doubt you're going to do a fantastic job. Thank you, sir. Just, good luck. Thank you very much. [Applause] Okay, thank you very much, everybody. Thank you very much, everybody. How is China [Inaudible]? Trade is coming along well. We're having a big meeting this afternoon. I think you folks are going to be at it for a little while, at least. The Vice Premier is here and lots of top people from China. They very much want to make a deal. We'll see what happens. It's got to be a good deal. Got to be a good -- it's got to be a great deal. It's got to be great. Look, we've been losing, over many years, four, five, six hundred billion dollars year. We're losing, a few years ago, two hundred, routinely, to China. We can't do that. We're going to turn it around. It's got to be a great deal. If it's not a great deal, we're not doing it. But it's going very well. Top officials are here. And, you know, we're very well along on the deal. It's a very complex deal. It's a very big deal. It's one of the biggest deals ever made. Maybe the biggest deal ever made. It will be a great deal for our farmers. Technology, intellectual property theft -- everything is covered. There's not a thing that's not covered. We could have made a quickie, but we're in a very good position. Our economy is way up. China is not way up. And we're -- could either make a very good deal or we're not going to make a deal at all. But I think it looks like the deal is moving along very nicely. So I think you're going to meet me in -- we're going to say hello to the media for a little while, sometime after 2 o'clock. Okay? Thank you, everybody. [Inaudible] Mexico? Yeah, a lot of good things are happening with Mexico. Mexico understands that we're going to close the border or I'm going to tariff the cars. I'll do one or the other. And probably start off with the tariffs. That will be a very powerful incentive, because Mexico has the strongest immigration laws anywhere in the world. They don't have courts like we do. We have a stupid system of courts. It's the craziest thing in the world. We could be the only country that has it. If you put a foot on the property, you put a foot into the United States: "Congratulations. Go get Perry Mason to represent you." You end up with a court case. And then they release you, and you come back four, five years later but nobody comes back. Two percent come back. The not-so-smart ones come back. It's the most ridiculous system anyone has ever seen. And we have catch and release and we have chain migration, where somebody comes in and brings the whole family. Bring them all: your grandparents, your brothers, your sisters, your cousins. The craziest thing I've ever seen. Put in by Democrats. And the Democrats are going to straighten it out. And if they don't straighten it out -- and I predicted this. I mean, I hate to see it, but at least I can say I was right. I told everybody. This is -- you have a national emergency at our border and nobody even talks about drugs -- the drugs that are flowing in. So for the last four days -- and you actually have covered it to a very minor extent -- Mexico has been capturing people and bringing them back to their countries at their southern border. They've been taking people under their very powerful laws -- they have the right to do it -- and they're bringing them back to where they came from. That's about three days now, I guess, since -- frankly, since they heard I was going to close the border. But before I close the border, if Mexico -- and we love Mexico. We love the country of Mexico. We have two problems: We have the fact that they allow people to pour into our country. We have to stop them. Border Patrol has been incredible. ICE has been incredible. Law enforcement has been incredible. And the other problem is drugs. Massive amounts of -- a large -- most of the drugs -- much of the drugs coming into our country come through the southern border in all different ways. Much of it where we don't have walls. The wall is under construction, by the way -- large sections. We're going to be meeting, I think, on Friday at a piece of the wall that we've completed, a big piece. A lot of it is being built right now. A lot of it is being signed up right now by different contractors. It's moving along very nicely. But we need the wall, but we need lots of other things. So we need help from Mexico. If Mexico doesn't give the help, that's okay, we're going to tariff their cars coming into the United States. The other thing is -- because Mexico is such a big source of drugs, unfortunately -- unfortunately -- now we have China sending fentanyl to Mexico so it can be delivered into the United States. It's not acceptable. So the second aspect of it is, which you haven't heard before, is that if the drugs don't stop -- Mexico can stop them if they want -- we're going to tariff the cars. The cars are very big. And if that doesn't work, we're going to close the border. But I think that'll work. So it's massive numbers of dollars. So if we don't see people apprehended and brought back to their countries, if we see these massive caravans coming up to our country, right through Mexico -- coming right through Mexico, like nothing. Busses are even given to them. For the last three days, it hasn't happened, since I said we're closing the border. The only thing, frankly, better but less drastic than closing the border is to tariff the cars coming in. And I will do it, just like -- you know I will do it. I don't play games. I'll do it. So we're doing it to stop people. We're going to give them a one-year warning. And if the drugs don't stop, or largely stop, we're going to put tariffs on Mexico and products, in particular cars. The whole ballgame is cars. It's the big ballgame. With many countries, it's cars. And if that doesn't stop the drugs, we close the border. Because Mexico, last year, and over -- for many years -- just like China, except China numbers are even bigger. And I don't blame China and I don't blame Mexico, if they can get away with it. I blame the people that used to sit in this seat, because they should have done something about it. And I'm not just talking about President Obama; I'm talking about many Presidents. They should've done something about it. So if Mexico doesn't do what they can do very easily -- apprehend these people coming in -- and they can do it in a much more humane fashion. Why should they walk up 2,000 miles and then be brought back? They can stop them right at their southern border, right where they come into Mexico. And they have unbelievable immigration laws where they have the right to do it. The most powerful in the world. As good as you can have. And they're going to do it. And if they don't do it, we're going to tax the cars. And if that doesn't work, we're going to close the border. But we're also going to do something having to do with tariffs on drugs. Because not only are hundreds of thousands of lives a year being ruined in our country, but numbers of people are dying that you wouldn't believe. I mean, we'll lose one military personnel and it's a front-page story. And yet, we have 100,000 people. People don't even know the number. They say 77,000; they say 72,000. Any number they give, you can guarantee to raise it. And if the drugs don't stop, we're going to put tariffs on. It also costs our country at least $500 billion through our southern border -- $500 billion. So we will put tariffs on if they don't apprehend, and ultimately we're going to give a period of time. But if, in a year from now, drugs continues to pour in, we're going to put tariffs on. Now, we have a deal: USMCA. It's all done. They're going to have to live with it, okay? They're going to have to live with it. I'm not trying to be unfair. They're going to have to live with it. The USMCA is a great deal for everybody. But this is more important to me than the USMCA, so they're going to have to live with it. Thank you very much. Mr. President, can you get the USMCA passed by Congress? Thank you. Thank you. I'll tell you one thing: It's a great deal. If they don't pass it, it's purely political, that's all. The USMCA, everybody wants to see it passed. But we'll see. Whatever they want to do is okay with me.

International Gay Rodeo Association convenes in Vegas, Inaugural Paladin Award to be presented to Autry National Center
The inaugural Paladin Award dinner to support the Gay and Lesbian Rodeo Heritage Foundation will take place on Sunday Nov. 12 at 6:30p.m. at the Tuscany Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, immediately following the 2012 International Gay Rodeo Association Convention. Individual tickets are $100 and a group rate is available.
This dress up western award dinner will honor one individual or group with the first ever "Paladin" Award. The "paladin" term has long been used to recognize the "hero of a cause" and in this case it has a western heritage theme. The Paladin Award will be presented annually. This year has special significance as the inaugural award presentation.
The first Paladin Award recipient will be the Autry National Center in Los Angeles, California. In May of 2009, the International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA) voted to donate its archives to the Autry for permanent inclusion in the Autry Library rodeo collection, making the Autry the first major western history institution anywhere to formally recognize the contributions of the GLBTQ community to the history and culture of rodeo.
The thirty-five year archives were personally delivered by IGRA historians, carefully driven over the Rockies from Denver, Colorado, where they had been stored in the basement of the iconic gay bar Charlie's.
Through a grant-funded project awarded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, the Autry is currently processing approximately 50 linear feet of archival IGRA records. As a result of this historic cooperative effort with the Autry, the IGRA story is now assured for use by scholars, historians and students of rodeo in perpetuity. With the blessing of Mrs. Gene Autry herself, this bold, courageous and proper step by the Autry has paved the way for other western history museums to follow suit.
The Gay & Lesbian Rodeo Heritage Foundation (GLRHF) was established in 2009 and has federal 501 ( c )3 status. A portion of the ticket price to the dinner is tax deductible. As a charitable organization, the mission of the GLRHF is to serve the broader community by preserving, maintaining, promoting and communicating the role of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals in the sport of rodeo and the western lifestyle. This Mission is achieved through private donations, application for grants and hosting educational and cultural events. Funds raised will be used to support projects designed to document and preserve relevant historical events, rodeo training schools, scholarships, lectures, workshops and rodeos, with an emphasis on outreach to the younger, rural GLBTQ community.
More information on the Foundation and the dinner event is available at: www.glrhf.org. Individual, couple or group tickets may be purchased on the IGRA Convention Website at www.igra.com or by email.

I don't remember my parents taking me and my brothers to live theater growing up. We went to plenty of movies and loved it, but no live theater. It still baffles me how, after soooo many years, I have fallen in love with live theater. How did this come about? Here's a synopsis of the love story:
I mentioned to my business coach about seven years ago that after nine years on the Board of Directors of a wonderful non-profit organization here in Austin, I was ready for a change. Her eyes lit up as she said, "You have to come to a ZACH party!" I learned not to question the advice of this business coach, so I did just that…I went to a ZACH party. She was right!
The Zachary Scott Theatre (ZACH) http://www.zachtheatre.org/ in Austin is the oldest continuously operating theatre in the State of Texas. "So what?" you say (as did I back then). I was not interested in theatre and certainly knew little about it. But like so many things in life, it's not the building, business, or idea that's important, it's the people! I quickly discovered that the people associated with ZACH were not only smart and caring, but also fun folks to be with. And while that is an important ingredient in my decision to get involved, that alone wasn't enough to cause me to fall in love with it.
My love of theater began with the first play I saw at ZACH. I saw their production of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. I saw the Marlon Brando movie and liked it, but it's a very different experience when it is performed live…and with professional actors. Part of ZACH's mission is to "create intimate theatre". To me that means that you leave the experience of your day behind when you are in the theatre and are taken to the time and place where the play is living. And at ZACH, you feel like you can almost touch the actors. I actually feel that I am a different person in a different place when experiencing live theater. That's probably why I love live theater so much. It's an escape from the "outside world" for a brief period of time…and yet it seems like it lasts for countless hours.
Many of you might be thinking, "Sure, Mike. There is live theater, and then there is LIVE THEATER!" If you have never experienced the joys of the escape that I am describing, come to a play at ZACH. Thanks largely to the expertise and professional talents of the Artistic Director at ZACH, Dave Steakley, you will not be disappointed! And if you're not careful, you might fall in love, too!

The series of real life farming stories told in DVD and book format have been translated into an interactive Tractor Ted Little Farm with friendly farm animals for children to meet and handle (including rabbits and guinea pigs). Children can watch the Tractor Ted real life DVDs within Tractor Ted's Little Shed or ride around on the Mini Tractor Track and go digging in the Mini Digger Den Sandpit. It's guaranteed "tractortastic fun" for all young children!
We continue to host Tractor Ted's Little Parties throughout the year in his Little Shed with delicious Tractor Ted lunchboxes and a visit from your favourite farm animal (choice will be given on the day of party).
The link track leads you from the farm onto the circular route around the wood. This is a 7km walk which should take about an hour and a half to two hours.
Free Parking is available for as long as you need it and during the season you are welcome into our Coffee Shop to refresh yourself after a lovely walk around the woods.
Cyclists will also enjoy this route as some informal tracks have been created due to the felling and recent windy weather which makes it a more interesting cycle.

Mercury is attired in yellow apparels and wears a garland of yellow flowers. The radiance and glow of his body is like that of an oleander flower. He has a sword, a shield a mace in each of his three hands respectively and his fourth hand is raised in the posture of giving blessings. He has a golden crown on his head and a beautiful garland in his neck. His vehicle is a lion.
According to the ' Atharavaveda ' Mercury's father is the moon and his mother is Tara . He was given the name mercury by lord Brahma because of his intelligence. According to Shrimad bhagawat he is proficient in all the scriptures and is as radiant as the moon.
According to the Shrimadbhagawat (5/22-13) mercury is situated about 2,00,000 yojans (2400 000 km above venus). Mercury is considered to be an auspicious planet but if by chance it transgresses, chance of natural calamities like draught storm and floods occur.
According to the Matsyapuran the complexion of mercury is yellow like an oleander flower. His chariot is of white colour and illuminated by light, Horses, which are as fast as the wind, pull the chariot. The names of the horses are Shweta, Pisanga, Saranga, Neel, Peeta, Vilohita, Krishna , Hairta, Prisha and Prishni.

Simple PR: Pitch Yourself
Create Your Media Angles
Simple PR: Pitch Yourself
Create Your Media Angles
Lesson Info
Create Your Media Angles
Now what we're gonna be doing in the second lesson is taking your messages and just massaging them a little bit to make them more media ready right so we're going to kind of sex him up like that spice them up a bit and make them in a way that the media has something to cover and this is something that people ask us all the time like well I have this message but is it interesting enough other people are out there saying what you're saying probably right there's probably another person who's out there with your message and we've also all this experience where maybe we wanted to go out in the media and say something and we saw oh shoot there was just an article about that somebody else said it and in this you're still space for you so I want to say is yes absolutely your message is interesting enough I don't care what it isthe so it's definitely interesting enough and and there are proven techniques for making it media worthy so they're just techniques to massage your message to make it y...
ou know fit those kinds of things that the media are always looking for what are those formulas of the media likes to hear so we're going to share with you our three techniques of how you can make your message media worthy and then we're gonna have a very special guests and a friend of mine terry gentilly, whose author of a book quiet power strategy and she'll be coming up and actually sharing with you how she's doing it in her business so that you can get a little bit of perspective on that so the first technique is really mining your customer interactions for ideas so this is listening to your customers and taking out like, what is it that they're saying about your ideas what's really resonating with your customers so you might think about what are the questions your customers are always asking asking you what are the things that they're really curious about what do they want to know from you? So that could be a really great way to jot down some media ideas and write them down? Another thing I like is what do you wish they'd ask you more often? So we all have those things where we haven't insight and we're like I really wish my customer would ask me about the ingredients that go into my burgers I really wish that my customer would ask me, you know, how did I find somebody to supply my coasters, right it's like, what are those things that you're like? I wish people should ask this because I had to learn something or I had a struggle to get this knowledge and other people don't know it, so that could be a really great way to start you know, what are those things that your customers are saying that they love saying that they want more of and were the things that you wish that they're not asking because it's always a guide to what it is that you really want to be out there saying says your first technique um so here here's actually example from michelle we looked at this in the very beginning michelle mizeur and one of the things that hurt customers ask her all the time it's how can I become a better speaker everybody's afraid to take the stage right how could I become a better speaker and if you look at the media there's hundreds of topics if you google this you're going to find hundreds of different articles on this topic so the way michelle did this has said all right I'm going to make this interesting and I'm going to talk about why you shouldn't sell from this stage you know people get up on the stage and they're selling there their book there sighing their course so how do you make your presentation more customer focus how do you make the audience the star so you're not the star or your ideas your thoughts so that was her way of taking what her customers always asking and creating a little bit of a spin on it the second technique is remixing the content you already have this is one of my favorite techniques so if you've been in business for a long time you're probably blogging or you're probably writing e mails to people and there is a lot of content that you already have that you can remix or recycle for your media outreach so what you want to do here is think about what are the things you could write about over and over again what are those topics where those post what are the things that you love to talk about and can get up on a soapbox about what are the most popular post you've ever written what's really resonated with people what do they latch on to you that's a great lead into what the media is going to care about and then one of my favorite things too is like do you have exercises of course is if he of course is this is a great place to be if you're coaching people where they're actually exercises you can take out of something that's paidcontent you can offered in the media if you're a product based person or a maker this same thing can happen with tutorials right so what can you show people about your process and here is an example of remixing from terror that we're going to hear about so she was also in fast company with this article of millennials version of the american dream and when did the things that terror was talking about quite a lot and she still does is what consumers value in the new economy so what do consumers and customers care about now and how has that changed how is that change now that we're in the network economy or the information economy or this social era whatever you wanna call it it's different than the industrial economy and so people's value sets have changed and so this is something that terror has written about on her block like a hundred times you know in in her books but this was a new twist on that same idea that she was able to remix and and work with fast company and here I'm going to plug something actually it's a free resource that I have so I'm going to do with michelle says not to do and plug this little bit because I have this amazing resource that I've made available to you guys is totally free so you can visit bea think for dot com slash simple pr and I have a tool it's an audio guide in a workbook that helps you remixed the content you already have so if you have a lot of like block post archives or email archives there is a whole work book on how to do this okay? And then the third technique my favorite technique a steel like a journalist yeah so it's journalist actually do this this is how they get a lot of their ideas is you know if you're a journalist and you're writing for a national magazine you might check with the local newspaper headlines are so you can absolutely look at what's in the national media, or in your local media, and pick up cues and ideas. So you want to see what's trending? What what are people out there saying they're they're seasonal tie ins for their story and coming back. This idea of unconventional opinions are there articles in the media or topics that you fundamentally disagree with? 00:06:06.88 --> 00:06:09.

YouToken Bounty Update (Round 1 Results)
Attention bounty participants! The results are in! We know many of you have been waiting patiently to see the spreadsheet for round one of the YouToken bounty program and we thank you for cooperating. But before digging in to see the outcome of your hard work, we have a few small details to cover.
Quality and accuracy is something we not only strive for at YouToken but take extremely seriously. There are already enough fraudulent efforts out there in the crypto community and we don't need any more of it. Hence, YouToken took additional time to weed through all the bounty submissions and remove those participants that did not meet our standards.
Quite frankly, we do not have high standards when it comes to the bounty program.
As long as the submissions were 100% honest, original and followed the rules outlined in the program, then we accepted them. Any signs of plagiarism or low quality work were promptly denied. Please take some time and view the finalized spreadsheet for the YouToken Bounty Program (Round 1) here:
YouToken Stakes Spreadsheet (Round 1)
We've had a few questions regarding the value of each stake. To put it simply, tokens for one stake equals the total tokens for a single bounty / the total participation stakes for this single campaign. As for the value of one stake, we do not have that information yet as the ICO is not over. Once round two of the bounty program and ICO in general concludes, we can then calculate the value of one stake. Speaking of bounty program round two, let's dig into the details of that right now.
We all had so much fun with the YouToken bounty program in round one, that we decided to keep it going with another round! We do not have the updated rules for this round at the moment. Yet, we plan to publish them at the beginning of June 2018. What we can say though is that the structure of this new round will operate differently than before.
Since we had many issues with people cheating, submitting low-quality content and overall wasting everyone's time, these new rules will help ensure a more efficient process in round two. As a result, each person will fill out a new, special form to sign up for the bounty program. Just to remind you all, YouToken only accepts quality submissions. Anyone who tries to cheat the system will get banned from the bounty program permanently and blacklisted.
Again, everyone here at YouToken thanks you for being so patient during this process. Our Telegram admins are awaiting any questions you may have regarding this announcement. We look forward to speaking with you and starting another successful round of YouToken bounty!

South Asia
Giorgio Shani, Sikh Nationalism and Identity in a Global Age. London, New York: Routledge, 2007. ISBN: 9780415421904. List Price: $150.00 (Cloth).
Sikh Nationalism and Identity in a Global Age examines the construction of a Sikh national identity in post-colonial India and the diaspora and explores the reasons for the failure of the movement for an independent Sikh state: Khalistan. Based on a decade of research, it is argued that the failure of the movement to bring about a sovereign, Sikh state should not be interpreted as resulting from the weakness of the communal ties which bind members of the Sikh nation together, but points to the transformation of national identity under conditions of globalization. Globalization is perceived to have severed the link between nation and state and, through the proliferation and development of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs), has facilitated the articulation of a transnational diasporic Sikh identity. It is argued that this diasporic identity potentially challenges the conventional narratives of international relations and makes the imagination of a post-Westphalian community possible. Theoretically innovative and interdisciplinary in approach, it will be primarily of interest to students of South Asian studies, political science and international relations, as well as to many others trying to come to terms with the continued importance of religious and cultural identities in times of rapid political, economic, social and cultural change.
John McGuire, Hindu Nationalism and Governance. New York: Oxford University Press, 2007. ISBN-13: 97801956779229. List Price: $45.00
This volume assembles some of the best thinkers and actors in Indian politics, especially Hindu nationalist politics, to focus on governance under the BJP government in Indian across sectors, including its political alliances, performance in elections, economic reforms, and privatization, food security, ideology, revisionist histories, religion, nationalism, and the media. In short, this constitutes a very comprehensive coverage of various important issues that engaged the BJP government in India earlier. The volume will renew interest in the core ideas of Hindutva and politics and how these came to be articulated across institutions and policies.

Transsexual says ex-employer ignored harassment
A transsexual former employee of Burlington Coat Factory filed a discrimination suit against the company Tuesday, claiming she endured seven years of verbal and physical abuse from supervisors, colleagues and customers after undergoing sexual reassignment surgery.
Steven Wicks-Perez transitioned from a man to a woman in 2001, taking the name Maya. Perez said supervisors initially encouraged the transition but in the next seven years harassed her. Perez said she was exposed to sexual conversations and pornography; that co-workers grabbed and touched her breasts, buttocks and genitals and called her names like "he-she"; and that customers verbally and physically assaulted her.
"It was horrifying and humiliating," Perez, 42, said Tuesday during a press conference at the Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center, the nonprofit legal organization representing her. "No other employee was allowed to be treated the way that I was."
Representatives at Burlington Coat Factory, based in New Jersey, did not return calls or e-mails seeking comment.
Perez, who worked at the San Francisco store at Fifth and Howard streets since 1996, said she complained multiple times over the years to numerous managers as well as security guards who saw the harassment on the store's cameras. She "exhausted all appropriate administrative remedies," the suit says.
"The harassment was not the same every single day, but it happened with great regularity," said Elizabeth Kristen, one of Perez's attorneys. "The management failed to take effective measures."
Before undergoing her surgery in 2001, Perez said she met with managers to discuss her plans. They were supportive, but after she transitioned, they discouraged her from dressing like a woman, according to the lawsuit.
For two years, she said she was prevented from changing her name tag from Stevie to Maya.
Perez's suit is one of the first cases brought on behalf of a transgender employee in California since the state amended the Fair Employment and Housing Act in 2004 to clarify that discrimination on the basis of sex specifically includes gender identity and expression, Kristen said.
"San Francisco is noted for its tolerance, yet Ms. Perez's experience shows we still have work to do," she said. "A large percentage of transgender individuals living in the Bay Area have experienced harassment or discrimination in the workplace. It's a serious problem that needs to be addressed."
The suit, filed in San Francisco Superior Court, seeks compensation for losses, benefits, emotional distress and future earning capacity, as well as policy changes at the store and training for managers.
In 2008, the American Civil Liberties Union won the first case to apply the Civil Rights Act to transgender people when a federal judge ruled that the Library of Congress discriminated by rescinding a job offer after finding out a veteran planned to transition from male to female.

Celebrating SUKKOT 5780
By: Frieda Schweky
A new and exciting initiative promises to bring profound emotional comfort to the sick and elderly of our community.
Many patients bemoan their inability to participate in the daily prayer services in the synagogue – an experience which, to our community's credit, has become part and parcel of the daily routine of so many people. These patients crave the opportunity to hear the hazzan, to answer "amen" to his blessings and to Kaddish, and to once again feel the special closeness to Hashem and to their fellow Jews which can only be experienced in the synagogue. Being denied this privilege exacerbates the feelings of loneliness, disorientation and anguish that already afflict those who are bedridden due to a medical condition.
A number of community activists have taken it upon themselves to help these patients through the "Tefilah Cam," which live-streams the weekday prayer service to the patient's bedside. This unique, innovative program is already up and running every weekday in the Schweky Prayer Hall at Bnai Yosef, with the blessings of Rabbi Haim Benoliel shelita and the endorsement of Rabbi Max Sutton shelita (printed here on the opposite page). A camera has been installed in the sanctuary, and when a minyan starts, bedridden patients at home or in the hospital can stream it live. This system offers patients the priceless opportunity to take part in the service, and helps them retain their connection to their congregation – and to the Almighty Himself.
This beautiful initiative is being funded in loving memory of Yosef ben Mazal, and for a refuah shelema of Bluma bat Sprintza.
Live Streaming of the minyan in the Schweky Prayer Hall at Bnai Yosef is now active, and can be accessed from Bnai Yosef's homepage -www.bnaiyosef.com.
May this new project bring patients the comfort, strength, and inspiration they need to fully recover so that we may all pray together in joy and good health, amen.

One of our missions at LIFT Academy is to help more people understand that becoming a commercial airline pilot is more attainable than they might think. To those out there who have always had that dream, we say "Come on in!" But to those who never thought they could achieve this goal, here are just a few things to consider.
We're looking for explorers and leaders from all walks of life: high school and college grads, former military, career changers, men and women. If you have the skill and the will, we can't wait to meet you!
It's easy to apply. To get started, just click the Apply Now button. From there, you'll be able to create a profile to submit the initial application form. Based on the information you supply, if we determine you are a qualified candidate we'll invite you to an in-person interview and COMPASS aptitude assessment in Indianapolis, Indiana.
COMPASS consists of tests that have been developed to evaluate the key aptitude areas for being a pilot. The test assesses skills such as multitasking, spatial awareness, memory capacity, hand-to-eye coordination, mental arithmetic, verbal reasoning and understanding of physics.
After the in-person interview and testing, if accepted, we'll mail you an Acceptance Packet and assign you to your first day of class.
While the actual cost of attending LIFT Academy is $85,000, LIFT students will benefit from Republic subsidizing LIFT training by $20,000, bringing the cost of tuition to $65,000. This tuition is less than other pilot training programs and far less expensive than many four-year degrees (it generally takes three years or less to become a commercial airline pilot). This subsidy is one way we are making the pilot pathway more affordable and accessible.
Republic will offer financing and a loan assistance program of up to $15,000. Loan assistance begins when a student achieves Certificated Flight Instructor status and continues when he or she becomes a First Officer at Republic. If the former student remains employed at Republic as a pilot for a period of five years, this loan assistance does not need to be repaid.
More information on tuition, financing and loan assistance will be made available at the time a student is accepted into LIFT.
We have answers. Check out our FAQs for more information about LIFT Academy, or email us at email@example.com.

What a weird site. It is located on an open expanse of peat bog in a deep cutting. The two meter high walls of peat that surround it prevent you getting any idea of what views the site may have. I was further hindered today by driving rain giving almost zero visibility - I'm amazed I found the tomb.
When you do reach it you are confronted with a long, heather-covered mound with several stones poking out of it. It is alined roughly southwest-northeast with the court to the northeast. This probably faces the peak of Benauglin, but I couldn't see it today.
To the front of the mound there are two angled slabs that represent the court. This would have been shallow and V-shaped. along the north side of the carin the outside of the wall slabs are exposed. The gallery seems to have been filled in with cairn material and walking across the top is quite harardous. At first I thought one hole led into a large space inside, but a photo taken inside the whole just revealed lots of stones.
In wedge tombs and court tombs the burial compartment is known as a gallery and collectively wedge and court tombs are called classified as 'gallery graves'. This is because the inner area is long and narrow, i.e. bascially rectangular, in plan.
In court tombs the gallery is usually divided into two or more chambers by jambs. Wedge tombs are segmented by sill stones, as are a few court tombs.
This is an explanation of (and a bit of a disclaimer for) the coordinates I provide.
Where a GPS figure is given this is the master for all other coordinates. According to my Garmin these are quite accurate.
Where there is no GPS figure the 6 figure grid reference is master for the others. This may not be very accurate as it could have come from the OS maps and could have been read by eye. Consequently, all other cordinates are going to have inaccuracies.
The calculation of Longitude and Latitude uses an algorithm that is not 100% accurate. The long/lat figures are used as a basis for calculating the UTM & ITM coordinates. Consequently, UTM & ITM coordinates are slightly out.
UTM is a global coordinate system - Universal Transverse Mercator - that is at the core of the GPS system.
ITM is the new coordinate system - Irish Transverse Mercator - that is more accurate and more GPS friendly than the Irish Grid Reference system. This will be used on the next generation of Irish OS maps.

Most important city and the capital of Uruguay, Montevideo, is also the southernmost capital of South America, the city is home to around half of the population of Uruguay.
Located on the north shore of the Río de la Plata, Montevideo is just over 200 km as the crow flies west of Buenos Aires, the bay of Montevideo is the largest and most important natural and commercial harbor of Uruguay.
Montevideo is a city alive and vibrant, it has a rich architectural and cultural heritage, and is the hub of trade and economy of Uruguay.
The architecture of Montevideo reflects its history, there are buildings in colonial, neo-classical, art deco styles and also many modern buildings.
According to tradition, the city's name is derived from an exclamation made by a sailor in Magellan's expedition that he was surprised to see a hill in an area so flat, the exclamation was "Monte vide eu!" (I saw a mountain!), to this episode goes back the name of the capital of Uruguay.
Montevideo was founded in 1726 by Bruno Mauricio de Zabala, Spanish governor (capitán general) of the province of Río de la Plata, today's Argentina. Zabala, in 1724, built a fort to counteract the expansionist ambitions of the Portuguese, who controlled Brazil, and that in 1680 had occupied the region and founded the city of Colonia del Sacramento (Colónia do Sacramento).
Around the fort starting from 1726 some colonists settled, the new outpost was named San Felipe y Santiago de Montevideo, this settlement, which grew into the city of Montevideo, was the center of Spanish control on the Banda Oriental (current Uruguay), and was later elevated to the rank of capital of Uruguay.

Grazalema blankets
All blankets which are on sale through this website are produced to the highest standard in our factory which the company owns in Grazalema. We use the finest quality merino sheep wool and mix both traditional craftsmanship and the production needed for modern manufacturing.
The factory has a museum which holds machinery from the 19th century. It can be visited during working hours from Monday to Friday.
Nowadays, wool is thought of as an ecological material from a natural resource. It is both sustainable and biodegradable while at the same time being renewable each year. The physical properties of wool fibers allow for excellent insulation and elasticity and its chemical components make it breathable and absorbent. Furthermore, we mustn't forget its historical importance and it has been one of the most valued primary resources by humankind.
We recommend washing Grazalema wool blankets by hand in cold water and using a neutral detergent in a bathtub or similar. Drain the blanket or poncho in the bathtub until it has released all the water completely and in a natural manner. Hand it out at night to avoid the sun. Never use hot water or washers and dryers. The item will become damaged in these cases. Do not beat or rub the item while washing.
Grazalema is town situated in the heart of the mountains of Cadiz and is famous for its weather, its pine forests and the quality of its blankets and ponchos which date back centuries.
