Dr. Hugh Dubrulle, President, Faculty Senate
Good afternoon:
Upon recovering from the shock of having been asked to speak on this occasion, I was struck by panic: what meaningful thing could I say in two minutes?
My first thought consisted of quoting Emil Faber, the founder of the fictitious Faber College in Animal House: "Knowledge is good."
Although we know knowledge is good, we must strive as hard as ever to convince the world that the knowledge we possess-grounded as it is in a Catholic, Benedictine, liberal arts tradition, is indeed good. Dr. DiSalvo arrives at a critical time in our college's history.
Higher education in general, and liberal arts colleges in particular, face a number of grave challenges-challenges that very well might verge on the existential.
The issues discussed at the academic symposium on Wednesday are only portion of the many difficulties confronting the liberal arts today.
For the last several years, the College has witnessed a number of extremely important changes as it attempts to reposition itself and meet these challenges in the present and the future. Among other things, we have remodeled College governance, sketched the outlines of a new curriculum, and experienced turnover among most of the important positions in the administration. The work associated with these developments has been arduous, and to be honest, we have not fully grasped their implications.
In the coming years, there will be a great reckoning, a great working-out of solutions, and, with any luck, a great consolidation of the college's position. We think, we believe, and we hope that we have found a president who possesses the judgment, the decisiveness, and the grace to lead us in these tasks.
On behalf of the over 200 faculty members who teach here, then, I would like to welcome Dr. DiSalvo and his family to Saint Anselm College. We look forward to forming a partnership with him as we work together during these exciting times.
Thank you.

Maverick Helicopters, an award-winning division of Maverick Aviation Group, recently received the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) 2015 Award of Excellence "Diamond Award." The prestigious honor, which the company has now received five years in a row, is a result of Maverick Helicopters' ongoing dedication to maintenance training and aircraft safety.
The FAA's Award of Excellence was created to honor aviation operators and its maintenance technicians for participating in the FAA Aviation Maintenance Technician Awards Program.

The "Diamond Award" is only given to a select few corporations that have reached the highest level of program criteria.
"We are honored to receive the FAA's Award of Excellence 'Diamond Award' for the fifth year in a row," said John Buch, president of Maverick Aviation Group. "We take maintenance training very seriously at all of Maverick Helicopters' locations and we are proud of the exceptional work our maintenance department continuously does in order to ensure the safety of our guests."
In 2015, Maverick Helicopters' maintenance technicians recorded more than 2,755 hours of training. More than 1,900 of those hours were provided through the company's homegrown training courses. All of Maverick Helicopters' eligible maintenance technicians also obtained individual awards through in-house and factory training.

Preview: Bestival, September 2012
We're halfway through the holidays. The initial 'it's summer' buzz has subsided and we're all slowly accepting that we won't be even half as productive as we'd hoped. At this point we're all wishing we'd booked that festival we saw in January but didn't have the guts to committ to at so early a stage. It's not too late. Bestival is around the corner and I wouldn't call its lineup anything of a hard fate.
Magnetic to you or not, the big bait rocketing Bestival's reputation above and beyond has been the accouncement of Stevie Wonder as a headliner. He bore the birth of classic Motown and in the hearts of those who remember its first steps, his set has been pretty much preordained the weekend's highlight. In truth, as much as you do want to hold out on the sentiment of Womack's self-fulfilled propechy ("As a singer grows older, his conception grows a little deeper, because he lives life and he understands what he's trying to say a little more"), reality fears that the soulfulness of a sixty-two year old (back briefly from retirement) will be a little lost on a load of bourgeois, bass-hunters. Still, it's been a succesful follow-up to the media-shock of Bjork's appearance last year and nobody can resist the subtle swagger of 'Superstition'.
But 'fore you fear, nobody has to dance like their dad for the whole weekend if they don't want to. The XX, the indefatigable Doom, De La Soul, Justice and Miike Snow are set to play alongside wildfire-starter SBTRKT whose release of self-titled album last year has, in recent months, finally filtered a more mature understanding of wobbling basslines to the brostep-dominated club setting. Equally progressive in her own, self-reflecting take on repetitive sounding, rave-scene techno, Grimes will deliver the trippy, tumbling tunes of debut album Visions.
Then there's the appeal that demands attention; the self-professed 'bad bitch' whose collaborations with Diplo have conversely proven her to be far from subtle in sound or identity statements. Though '212' was followed by an inevitable lull in her presence, I expect her to be so frightening on stage that there'll be little left to reignite. Here's a track from her debut EP Fantasea that, even with a wonderful bit of sampling, has remained relatively uremarked.
For the seekers of a slightly more mellow mood, Sigur Ros will fully provide with the ambiance of their powerfully cinematic EP Valtari.
There's then of course a selection of our Circulation favourites. As seen in her smooth, double-up appearance with Annie Mac at Hideout, our cover girl Jessie Ware is becoming a charming accompaniment to the UK dance scene. Snatching back Disclosure's remix of her own single 'Running', she stunned the crowd with her endearing apativeness.
With the Bestival of last year dominated by the reign of a turn-table ridden generation, the test will distinguish those who really know how to work a crowd. Disclosure will indubitably reel a following of which even the most ignorant will know precise timings of every moan-sample and synthy whine featured in 'What's In Your Head'.
Last but by no means least Dub Pistols, Gary Numan, ALT-J, Orbital and Gold Panda are among those that one with any sense will refuse to miss. It'd also seem a sin to go without mentioning the transformed fellow below. Co-creator of the line "Guns, bitches and bling were never part of the four elements and never will be", he's stepped out from the shadows of a wordsmith to create the indisputably cool 'Space Between the Words' EP.
Ideal for late-starting York students, Bestival takes place between the 6th and 9th of September.
Tickets are £170 and available at http://bestival.fatsoma.com/

Lawyers and Judges- Mobsters, a Secret Society, Riggers of Courts?
Text with below video:
Uploaded by intmensorg on Mar 6, 2012
Once again the BBC make a complete arse of a report about lawyers ripping off clients. The biggest financial scam across the globe is the ease with which lawyers and judges are getting away with stripping men of all their worldly possessions. So how do the BBC start this report? Using as an example a woman going through divorce who gets ripped off, NOT a man.
As many millions of men know it is the men that are picking up the legal bill, not only for themselves, but for their ex-wives in the most absurd and manipulative legal chicanery as the legal mafia GUARANTEE the wife ALWAYS wins in divorce, unless the man is a freemason and then his brothers in the judicial mafia ensure the ex-wife suffers the seem fate with persecution campaigns that millions of ex-husbands endure thanks to the mobsters running the courts for their own and the crown's self enrichment.
The BBC are the protectors of that system with media lawyers acting for the Law society's ensuring nothing gets out about how they operate these huge financial scams and why there are endless propaganda reports on domestic violence , as this is the weapon they use to ensure the trillion pound legal aid trough continues unabated while men's lives are destroyed on a daily basis by the utter scum and dregs of the earth. Another shocking and heavily misleading report by the Bloody Big Con and not unusual as men are sick and tired of the vile feminist claptrap manufactured by a publicly funded broadcaster run by a feminist leaning, homosexual leaning , judicial leaning and legal mafia leaning tv station.
* * * *
I, Steven G. Erickson, was attacked on my property, 10-11-01, in Stafford Springs, Connecticut. I owned 3 rental properties that I had fixed up from a boarded up condition. I had my 15 year old daughter in my life and we did things regularly. I had built up a contracting business over 2 decades. I was arrested for pepper spraying a mugger, a felon, who threatened to cut my penis off and kill me if I didn't hand over my wallet.
We fought, and I didn't want to get stabbed, so I pepper sprayed him, and myself, and we continued to fight. I crawled into my home, ran my eyes under water. Police showed up refused to take my complaint against my attacker and later committed perjury about that fact. They refused to take statements from witnesses. Then police committed perjury about that too. Only I was arrested. It was retaliation.
With no record I faced a year and half in prison, no deals. I had evicted a prostitute, Lana Thompson, who allegedly gave the Rockville Superior Court Prosecutor, Keith Courier, oral sex to retaliate against me for evicting her. So, Courier refused to give me the $100 program where my charges could be erased after 6 months, a program I was entitled to as a first offender resisting being mugged on my own property. The mugger was given immunity for committing felonies to prosecute me for misdemeanors. Self-defense is illegal in Connecticut.
So, I hired Stafford Springs, Ellington, Connecticut, area Attorney Michael H. Agranoff, to represent me. I had talked to him about suing the Connecticut State Police for violating my civil rights for refusing to protect and serve because I didn't know the right people (organized crime). Agranoff charged me over $17,000 and couldn't get me the $100 AR, Accelerated Rehabilitation Program in which I was entitled to.
There was a diagram in front of the court. It showed my properties. A tenant I was evicting was harboring the felon who attacked me. He attacked me around side my other adjacent house. The tenant said she saw me being attacked and defending myself where I parked my work van when I returned from double shift of work. She would have had to be able to see through a house in the dark. I requested that Agranoff point out on the diagram that the tenant could not see through a house in the dark. Agranoff refused to do it saying that the judge told him that he wasn't allowed to defend me. The judge, [Jonathan J. Kaplan], refused to let me point that out on the diagram, and refused to allow me to make a statement in my defense when Agranoff refused to defend me.
So, the attorney fee of over $17,000, I got a second prosecutor. As it seemed Attorney Agranoff was more of a help prosecuting me when he refused to defend me. Agranoff told me he owed the judge a favor for not being disbarred for having an inappropriate relationship with an underage client. Agranoff was supposed to appeal my case or submit a reason why he didn't. He did neither.
Agranoff refused to supply my client case file, something he is required to do. He refused. Agranoff sent me conflicting bills with conflicting hours and why the charges were on their. Agranoff lost his copy of my billing hours and asked me for a copy of what I had.
This is why America and everywhere else, lying lawyers are hated. I lost my properties, my daughter doesn't speak to me, I have trouble getting a job, a place to live, my life is in shambles. Thank you lying lawyers and scumbag judges you ruined my life. You are ruining America and most countries.
I had intended on posting this. I'm just pissed, still. I posted the above video and just couldn't help venting ...

[Post on Attorney Michael H. Agranoff] the self professed DCF Specialist. If you have a problem with Department of Children and Families, I myself wouldn't get a scumbag lawyer, especially Agranoff.

Lawyers are Needed to Bribe Judges, Disadvantages of Pro Se
I talked with a legal reform advocate for over 2 hours tonight. He is well versed, and English Common Law goes back to 1066, and most states' laws are based on this law.
A lawyer can lose gambling with a judge. Bet on a round of golf and lose a grand a hole for whatever number of holes, purposely playing badly. The cash may not even need to be handed, hand to hand, with some excuse. There are favors and other things that can be done to pay for rulings in cases. Let's call the guy I talked to tonight, Mr. X.
Mr. X says that if you are involved in a property dispute in a civil case with a mortgage company, or another individual, it is good to get an organized crime lawyer. The lawyer has preferred judges that he, or she, works with, called a "judge in the pocket". Organized Crime lawyers can predict the outcomes of cases, civil and criminal.
A Pro Se litigant can't just bribe a judge.

A scene in the film The Good Shepherd shows a conversation between an Italian-American grandfather and Central Intelligence Agent Edward Wilson.
"We Italians, we have family. What do people like you have?"
Wilson smiles. "We own the country. The rest of you are just visitors."
Examples of Wilson's mindset aired on Fox News after the memorial for Arizona's shooting victims. Commentators found University Professor Dr. Carlos Gonzales, of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, "very strange" and that he blessed "one too many things". Brit Hume opined that "by the time it was over [Gonzales] had blessed the reptiles of the sea and prayed to the four doors of the building. While I'm sure that is an honorable tradition with his people, it was most peculiar."
How "very strange" and "most peculiar" would this country's "owners" and Fox News commentators find the other "visitors" - Native Americans - and their prophecies?
A Mohawk prophecy declares:
After seven generations of living in close contact with the Europeans, the Onkwehonwe would see the day when the elm trees would die...the animals would be born strange and deformed, their limbs twisted out of shape. Huge stone monsters would tear open the face of the earth. The rivers would burn aflame. The air would burn the eyes of man. The Onkwehonwe would see the day when birds would fall from the sky, the fish would die in the water, and man would grow ashamed of the way that he had treated his mother and provider, Earth. Then the People would rise up and demand that their rights and stewardship over Earth be respected and restored.
Fortunately, indigenous youth concern themselves more with action than reaction. In the San Francisco Bay Area, members of Oakland's youth group Seventh Native American Generation - SNAG(1) - act on this prophecy. Last year co-founders Ras K'dee and Shadi Rahimi contacted their counterparts in Palestine then traveled there with small delegation to meet, dance with, learn from, and share a mutual vision to respect and restore Earth.
As K'dee explained, "Cultural exchange is one way people heal, learn to cope, and become resilient."
While each group researched the other's indigenous roots and history the deepest learning came from meeting face-to-face and experiencing Palestine's day-to-day reality.
Discussions ranged from experiences living under occupation and colonization to growing up in marginalized reservations and refugee camps, facing prejudices, acknowledging the moment when each realized that s/he was different from the mainstream, and recognizing that s/he had to struggle in ways others their age did not.
Exile from their birthright affects both communities too. Native American families were broken through the US government's once-endemic boarding school system. Palestinian families break when fathers, brothers, uncles, and grandfathers are exiled from their land or disappear into Israeli prisons.
Yet, K'dee said that celebrating serendipity in traditional dance and story-telling "allowed us all to connect with one another and the Earth."
Then there is their crucial commonality of access, or lack thereof, to natural resources...and the "monsters [that] tear open the face of the earth."
One Native American delegate arrived at Dheisheh Refugee Camp, south of Bethlehem, three days before K'dee and greeted him, "We've been without water since I got here. Welcome to the rez!"
This delegate had grown up on an American-style reservation and lack of water - and electricity - while distressing, was familiar.
Dheisheh, in fact, had been without water for 45 days. Emblematic of their chronic water problems, Dheisheh's school children, offered a choice of improvements funded by the international community - including a new soccer field, a basketball court, or other sports gear and equipment - chose a water filtration system. For, when they received it at all, West Bank's and Gaza's groundwater is often contaminated with Israel's industrial waste and with sewage and seawater from bomb-damaged sewer systems.
Until the mid-1940's Palestine was populated with thriving villages that, today, exist only in memory and impotent deeds to patches of rubble and cacti. Yet delegates noticed large portions of unused land that either still lies fallow or has been converted to Israel's national park system.
According to Israeli human rights group, B'Tselem - and with the assistance of giant Caterpillar bulldozers - "Some half a million Israelis...liv[e] over the Green Line: more than 300,000 in 121 settlements and about one hundred outposts, which control 42 percent of the land area of the West Bank, and the rest in twelve neighborhoods that Israel established on land it annexed to the Jerusalem Municipality. (2)
Palestinians crowd into ever-shrinking villages and refugee camps across the West Bank and Gaza. According to the Municipality of Gaza, population density there is 9,982.69/km² - one of the world's most densely populated zones.
The Israeli company Elbit erects the security barrier wall in Israel. Homeland Security hired Elbit to erect the wall along the U. S. Mexico Border.
In the US - total area of the 50 states is 2.3 billion acres - the Federal Government has title to about 650 million acres, or about 29 percent. Native ("Indian") lands make up about 2 percent of the country's area. (3)
Until 1769, the San Francisco Bay Area was home to somewhere between 7,000(4) and at least 26,000(5) Ohlone (also known by the exonym Costanoan).
Once identified by eight linguistic regions - Awaswas, Chalon, Chochenyo, Karkin, Mutsun, Ramaytush, Rumsen, Tamyen - in more than 50 villages around San Francisco Peninsula, Santa Clara Valley, East Bay, Santa Cruz Mountains, Monterey Bay, and Salinas Valley, today, descendents of the Ohlone are not recognized by the same Federal Government that dispossessed them.
Lack of federal recognition makes it difficult for Native American groups who are federally recognized to work with the Ohlone. Moreover, it de-historicizes the descendants of the Ohlone and means they have no land therefore little chance of a base upon which to re-create their socio-cultural history.
K'dee, a Pomo, said, "As a child, I heard in class that all my people are dead - that, in general, all Indians are dead. Sometimes that felt psychotic since I regularly attended Pomo ceremonies with my Pomo family."
Native Americans, Ohlone descendants, and Palestinians are determined to survive and thrive.
Early spring, 2010, Tony Cerda, the current Tribal Chairman of the Costanoan Rumsen Carmel Tribal Council, told a small audience watching the Humaya Dancers in San Francisco, "Next time someone tells you that there are no more Ohlone People you tell that person that you saw Ohlone dance here today."
New year 2011 brought the world the Gaza Youth Break Out manifesto:
...We, the youth in Gaza, are so fed up with Israel, Hamas, Fatah, the occupation, the violations of human rights and the indifference of the international community! We want to scream and break this wall of silence, injustice and indifference like the Israeli F16's breaking the wall of sound; scream with all the power in our souls in order to release this immense frustration that consumes us because of this fucking situation we live in; we are like lice between two nails living a nightmare inside a nightmare, no room for hope, no space for freedom. We are sick of being caught in this political struggle; sick of coal dark nights with airplanes circling above our homes; sick of innocent farmers getting shot in the buffer zone because they are taking care of their lands; sick of bearded guys walking around with their guns abusing their power, beating up or incarcerating young people demonstrating for what they believe in; sick of the wall of shame that separates us from the rest of our country and keeps us imprisoned in a stamp-sized piece of land; sick of being portrayed as terrorists, homemade fanatics with explosives in our pockets and evil in our eyes; sick of the indifference we meet from the international community, the so-called experts in expressing concerns and drafting resolutions but cowards in enforcing anything they agree on; we are sick and tired of living a shitty life, being kept in jail by Israel, beaten up by Hamas and completely ignored by the rest of the world.
There is a revolution growing inside of us, an immense dissatisfaction and frustration that will destroy us unless we find a way of canalizing this energy into something that can challenge the status quo and give us some kind of hope.
...We do not want to hate, we do not want to feel all of this feelings, we do not want to be victims anymore. ENOUGH...pain..tears...suffering...control...limitations, unjust justifications, terror, torture, excuses, bombings, sleepless nights, dead civilians, black memories, bleak future, heart aching present, disturbed politics, fanatic politicians, religious bullshit, enough incarceration! WE SAY STOP! This is not the future we want!
We want three things...to be free...to live a normal life...peace. Is that too much to ask? We are a peace movement consistent [sic] of young people in Gaza and supporters elsewhere that will not rest until the truth about Gaza is known by everybody in this whole world and in such a degree that no more silent consent or loud indifference will be accepted.
We... start by destroying the occupation that surrounds ourselves... break free from this mental incarceration and regain our dignity and self respect.. We will carry our heads high even though we will face resistance...work... to change these miserable conditions we are living under...build dreams where we meet walls. (6)
The Ohlone of the San Francisco Bay Area - the Muwekma - reaffirm their existence:
Makin Mak-Atuemi Muwekma-mak ic Eki'_i _i'nmatci-mak! (We will make things right for our People and dance for our children!)
This country's "owners" and Fox News may find Native traditions "very strange" and "most peculiar" but these traditions continue to enrich our extraordinarily diverse and courageous planet each day.

His approval ratings were already disastrous, but François Hollande is now confirmed as the most unpopular president on record. A survey on Monday put his personal approval ratings at 26%, the first time a president has dropped below 30% since presidential popularity began to be measured by BVI polling agency. For voters across the political spectrum it seems, poor Hollande can do no right. Here are 10 possible reasons why it's all gone pear-shaped for the president.
1. The 75% tax trap
The pledge made by Hollande during his election campaign, that he would tax the highest incomes at 75%, alongside his earlier "I don't like the rich" statement, has almost defined his presidency and not in a good way. The biggest irony is that the 75% tax rate, since deemed unconstitutional, will never be implemented. A case of communication gone terribly wrong. Zéro points.
2. He has perfected the art of putting the cart before the horse (otherwise known as getting his priorities wrong)
To start his five year reign with the same-sex marriage bill battle was probably courageous, but ill-advised. In the eyes of most French people, even those in favour of gay marriage, the new government's efforts should have been focused on fighting the public deficit, tackling unemployment and reforming institutions.
3. Hating conflict is not ideal when you're the president of France
Hollande hates confrontation, can't stand discord, and like most self-confessed social democrats, he wants to calm heated debate at all costs. If this has proved useful when negotiating with trade unions over greater flexibility in the labour market, a conciliatory tone in all things is not always useful.
4. He is indecisive
Conciliation often leads to indecision, or the appearance of indecision. His advisers confide that they never know what he really thinks and that his answers to questions are either "oui" or "oui oui". In a country where the favourite three letter word is "non", the presidential habit sounds more than hesitant, it sounds ominous.
5. He doesn't seem able to rein in his party factions
That the Left party's pitbull, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, keeps insulting the head of state on prime-time television and on the airwaves is bad enough, but you could argue that not being a member of the government, he doesn't have to show any deference. However, the Greens holding ministerial positions, calling for French youngsters to take to the streets, is a step too far that even a conciliatory president shouldn't accept.
6. He's too normal
I admit, we quite liked it at first. After five years of sheer abnormality with the histrionic Nicolas Sarkozy, most of us welcomed "Monsieur Normal", a slightly overweight regular bloke, not a jack-in-the-box prone to outrageous behaviour and policies. The problem is, France requires a less than ordinary president, a personality able to grasp the complexities and beauties of such a contrarian nation.
7. He has a weak prime minister
Why oh why is Hollande sticking to Jean-Marc Ayrault as PM? The mayor of Nantes should have kept doing what he does best, being a local figure. The poor man looks so exhausted; he has no authority on his unruly government. Manuel Valls, the current dashing and firm interior minister, would as prime minister stir passions and wake France up.
8. He lacks communication skills
Can Alastair Campbell please help? If Sarkozy was a master dazzler, leaving us no time to rest between announcements of eye-catching new measures, Hollande seems unable to present his actions in clear and effective terms. We don't see him much and when he speaks out, we're not convinced.
9. He has stopped being himself
This is probably the saddest thing. François Hollande, bon viveur and witty charmer, used to make us laugh. If he's still charming and warm in private, with us, his people, he feels he needs to act out a part.

Many of us hoped he would be able to soothe our national anxiety, which reached alarming levels after five years of Sarkozy paroxysm. Alas, after a wait and see period, we feel increasingly impatient. Soon, we'll be getting angry.

We end Irish month with the delightfully funny Waking Ned Devine. When an elderly man wins the lottery, he dies from shock, and the entire town covers up the death and schemes to claim his winnings. You'd think this was a movie about greed, but not so, and the key to this fact is in the subplot.
First, here's what goes on in the main thread of the story. In the tiny coastal village of Tullymore, someone has won the lottery. It's announced on the telly that one person holds the ticket, and the townspeople set out to guess who it is. Jackie and Michael are old men who act like young boys and are best friends. They ask around town and suspect it may be Pig Finn because he's driving a fancy sportscar, but discover it's only borrowed. Finally, the pair, along with Jackie's wife Annie throw a chicken dinner party where they plan to ask each guest what they would do if they won the money, hoping someone will tip their hand. At the end of the evening, it appears that no one has won. Annie notices, however, that one plate of chicken was never eaten. Someone missed the party.
After a quick run-through in their heads of the guests, they realize it was Ned Devine that didn't make it. Jackie goes to check on the man, and finds him dead in his chair, the winning lotto ticket clutched in his fingers, and a big grin on his face. Ned, it seems, lives alone and has no family. Jackie goes back home without calling the authorities as he thinks about how he should approach this new development. That night, he has a dream where Ned is eating his chicken dinner while they both drift in a boat toward "the light." Ned is at peace and in a celebratory mood. Jackie wakes up and believes Ned is telling him to claim the money.
Jackie convinces Michael to pretend to be Ned when the lottery official comes, and they hide the body. When the man, Jim Kelly, shows up, he sees Jackie on the beach and asks where Tullymore is. He hasn't seen Michael as he is behind a large boulder. It seems the two friends were skinny dipping in the ocean, and Jackie has gotten dressed while Michael lingers with his towel on. When Jackie realizes this is the lottery official, he hops into Jim's car to direct him to Ned's house, the...uh...long way. Meanwhile, Michael, who is having trouble getting his pants on, hops on his motorcycle stark naked except for his helmet (safety first, you know,) and races to Ned's before the car can get there. (I'll talk about this brief nude scene at the end of the article.) Michael changes into Ned's clothes, and after a few more Laverne and Shirley moments, Jim is dupped into believing that Michael is his man. He leaves satisfied and says he'll have to visit the village in a few days to make some inquiries to be sure that he is Ned Devine.
Now they have to convince the town to go along with the scheme. Annie doesn't want a part of it, telling them they'll both go to prison.
Jackie calls the town together to explain what he and Michael have done. He apologizes for thinking he could claim the money by himself. He had no idea the winnings would be so large--seven million pounds. It's all or none of us, he says. The money will be claimed and divided equally among the fifty-two of them. He tells them to think about it, and later they will sign a paper saying they agree. Either all sign, or they don't claim the money, and he and Michael will take what's coming to them. Annie comes around, saying Jackie is no good to her in prison, but you get the idea that the amount of money also swayed her.
The next day, everyone signs except the town sourpuss, a bitter old woman in an electric wheelchair. Everyone shows up at her door bearing gifts to bribe her into signing. With Jackie, Annie, and Michael sitting in her parlor, she asks them, "Did you know if you report a fraud, you get ten percent of the winnings?" That sum would be more than they're offering her to sign their paper. She assures them she won't call the Lotto, but she wants her share bumped up to the amount of money she would have gotten if she had.
They hold Ned's funeral, and the official shows up unexpectedly. He listens as Jackie gives the eulogy, quickly revising it to bury his old friend Michael. Michael listens to his own funeral, thoroughly enjoying all the great things Jackie is saying about their friendship. Afterward, Jim Kelly tells Michael/Ned that he's satisfied and that he'll get his check.
The wake becomes a true celebration. And as Ned's friends party, Jim drives away.
Meanwhile, Lizzie, knowing they'll never give her the exorbitant amount she'd asked for, makes her way to the nearest phone booth, (some miles out of town,) in her motorized wheelchair. They'd had a storm earlier and it knocked down all the phone lines in town. She shows her true colors when the wheelchair runs out of juice, and she gets out and walks. Lizzie apparently only uses the thing to get sympathy. She finally makes it to the phone booth and begins her call to the Lotto. At the same time, Jim Kelly, who has dreadful allergies in the country, sneezes and loses control of his car. We think he's going to hit the phone booth, but he swerves in time, nearly hits a vicar in his van, and causes the vicar to hit the booth, knocking it off the cliff and to the sandy beach below. Lizzie has had her come-uppance, and it seems by a divine hand as it was a man of God who had finished her off.
That is the main story line. It seems complete. What could the writer have added to it in a subplot?
Briefly, here's the subplot. A young single mother loves Pig Finn, but can't stand his smell. He get's his name by working a pig farm. Finn loves her back, but can't quit because he needs the money. A wealthy outsider also loves Maggie, and she'd do well to marry him, but she doesn't love him. She knows Finn would be a great dad to Maurice. Both men think they could be the boy's father. She finally tells Finn that he's the father, but confesses to Jackie during the wake that Ned Devine is really the boy's dad. Maurice is Ned's heir, and therefore could have the entire seven million pounds. But, she tells him he'd be spoiled from the money. Besides, Finn would never understand, and Maurice would grow up without a dad.
Yowza! What a message! Our movie about greed has become a movie about sacrifice. Ned sacrifices his life for his community, (okay, he had a little help.) Jackie and Michael sacrifice going to prison to bring in the other townspeople. And Maggie sacrifices the whole Shepherds Pie to give her son what he really needs.
The subplot opens the door to this theme of sacrifice, making it even more clear, and giving it a satisfying punch.
Now, a word about the nudity and other less moral issues in this film. At first, I wondered why they would have a scene showing naked wrinkled old men. (It's all from the back except the motorcycle ride, that that's so far away, and possibly blurred that you can't see anything you shouldn't.) Then, I realized that it shows these guys as the little boys they are. It's symbolic. It's also European. They don't have the same mindset that we have here. Nothing was dirty, but rather innocent contrasted with the fact that they were about to break the law. Another issue you may have as a Christian is Lizzie's demise. If this had been written from a Christian perspective, I'm sure she would have seen the error of her ways. And finally Maggie's problem--a son who doesn't know who his father is. Throughout the film, young Maurice confides in the vicar, (not the one who delivered judgement on Lizzie's phone booth.) We see him as a kid seeking answers, and seeking them in the right places.
So, if you watch this movie, please just enjoy the story. Like God's people, it's not perfect, but it sure is entertaining to watch!

The rest of you are probably wondering where you can get a pair of fox fur earmuffs like those modeled by my friend Andrew. I got them a couple years ago at Bloomingdale's in New York because it was 20-some degrees out, and, being from LA, I had nothing whatsoever with which to cope with that kind of weather situation. They are totally great—and warm, and I am still flummoxed as to why earmuffs in general are not more of a "thing" in New York. For my PETA peeps, there are also some cozy-looking Burberry options.

It was not a Happy Mother's Day in Texas as severe weather wreaked havoc across the state causing numerous injuries and deaths. A total of two deaths have been reported in the small community of Van, Texas; a community of only 2,600 people. Eight people remain missing from the community. The tornado left trees uprooted, flattened houses and forced more than 100 people out of their homes. Several schools were damaged in the tornado and officials are saying that although the damage is severe; it is lucky this storm happened on the weekend when kids were out of school. Officers were going door to door overnight on Sunday to check for people trapped in flattened houses and cars. At least 30% of the community is damaged and many people have lost their entire homes to the tornado. Luckily warning signals rang out loud and clear as the tornado was approaching; and are credited for saving many lives.
Meanwhile in nearby Corsicana heavy rains fell all weekend causing flooding, injuries and even one death. A total of 11 inches of rain fell in just five hours. These rains caused flash flooding and in a tragic accident one man's vehicle stalled in the swollen creek and he was unable to escape.
Helicopters were busy rescuing families off roofs and pick up trucks in North Texas where water levels had risen to dangerous levels as towns were hit with 6-10 inches of rain over the course of the weekend.
At least 26 tornadoes were reported across the middle of the country on Sunday and the mysterious weather continues to hammer the Central United States throughout today.
In Arkansas a tragic turn of events unfolded as a widespread storm killed a married couple. As the storm ripped through their mobile home only their infant was lucky enough to survive. Reports on the surviving daughter say that she is doing well.
As damaging winds, rain and hail continue to threaten eastward from the Lower Michigan Peninsula to southern and coastal Texas; officials are warning airline passengers and commuters to be aware of delays.

Underground Gas Storage Law Suit in Playa del Rey, CA___________________________________________________________________________

For Full Disclosure of Public Health & Safety Issues

Subject: REQUEST FOR JLAC HEARING ON PLAYA VISTA [SOCALGAS] IN PLAYA DEL REY, CA
Dear Legislator:
Each day public support for a thorough investigation of the dangers of explosion and exposure to toxic gases at the Playa Vista site in Playa del Rey, California grows. Since the 1940's natural gas has been stored in the old Playa del Rey / Venice oil fields under and adjacent to this site.
Grassroots Coalition along with Spirit of the Sage Council, Sierra Club Airport Marina Group and others are intensifying our efforts to demand full disclosure of the public health and safety issues at Playa Vista.
We believe all construction should cease and that a completely independent Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) should be done.
We believe that the California Joint Legislative Audit Committee (JLAC) should convene a hearing as quickly as possible to investigate fundamental inaccuracies and omissions in the reports Playa Vista has submitted to the City of Los Angeles.
The City has poorly supervised, mismanaged and approved the use of unproven, untested, experimental mitigation systems at the Playa Vista construction site. We have provided literature from the foremost geosynthetics research institute (Geosynthetic Research Institute in Philadelphia) that illustrates the dangers of these products not being able to withstand conditions, which exist at the Playa Vista site. Consultants have also warned the City these mitigation methods will not work over the lifetime of the project.
The City has not demonstrated the ability to build out this development without endangering the future Playa Vista residents as well as neighbors in the surrounding areas.
This development will house 30,000 people and 20,000 workers; it is the largest proposed development in the history of Los Angeles. We need accountability for the $70 million in state subsidized housing bonds for two apartment buildings and $135 million in Mello Roos Bonds currently allocated for Playa Vista.
Since 1993 Patricia McPherson of Grassroots Coalition has been building strong relationships with various health and safety agencies. Her whole focus is on the LACK OF DISCLOSURE OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES.
The agencies wish to perform due diligence but we believe they need protection from political interference that would thwart that objective. Our investigations reveal politicians who have gotten MAJOR contributions (hundreds of thousands of dollars) from Playa Vista investors.
To reinforce our work and the work of these fine agencies we need a JLAC probe to force accountability. For more detailed information go to our website: www.saveballona.org.
Background Information
The Department of Toxic Substance Control of the California EPA has objected in part to the CLA Report on Playa Vista because adequate H2S and BTEX studies have never been done. Playa Capital, in their own historical data, which we retrieved, showed there were dangerously high levels of H2S. We do have evidence, supported by letters to their companies, that workers were injured.
Grassroots Coalition retrieved one study of thirty-eight planned archaeological borings. Only four were completed due to above OSHA levels of H2S and methane contamination. There is also supporting California Environmental Protection Agency data of H2S across the site. All of this data was excluded from the Los Angeles Chief Legislative Analyst's Report (CLA Report) on Playa Vista.
We can provide this documentation. CPUC Judge Carol Brown ruled on September 24, 2001 that a Health Risk Assessment must be done in the area surrounding the SoCalGas underground gas storage facility. Since 1993 Patricia McPherson, of Grassroots Coalition, Kathy Knight of Spirit of the Sage Council and Bernard Endres, PhD who is a gas migration expert, started telling the City how dangerous this area is. Due in part to sample gas studies, which they provided, state and federal agencies are involved in an ongoing investigation of the site and surrounding area. The mitigation systems Playa Vista is installing (however inadequate) were developed because these three individuals applied constant pressure and ferreted out hidden information.
The dangers of both long and short-term exposure to even low levels (1 to 3 parts per million) of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are corroborated by independent research studies across the country. To more fully understand the potential for explosion and the dangers of exposure to toxic gases at Playa Vista visit our website: www.saveballona.org.

Restaurant Review – Our Trip to the Las Lajas Beach Resort
On a recent drive from Panama City to David, we decided to take a short detour and check out the beach at Las Lajas. Las Lajas beach is less than an hour east of David and not far off the Panamanian Highway on the Pacific Ocean.
The town of Las Lajas is very small – we drove right by it on our journey to see what the beach looked like! At the end of the road, we took a right turn and stumbled upon the Las Lajas Beach Resort (actually hard to miss as there's nothing else out there). We decided to stop by the resort's restaurant for a bite to eat before continuing our journey.
Las Lajas Beach resort is bright and well-kept, warm and inviting. A breezeway off the parking lot took us directly to an open-air restaurant facing the ocean. Only one other couple joined us in the dining area while we were there.
The restaurant atmosphere was quiet, clean, and casual. There is a well-equipped bar, though we opted for two local Panamanian beers. I was glad to see all the seafood choices on the menu – my favorite since the seafood in Panama is so fresh! I ordered fish & chips, which came with coleslaw and tartar sauce. Patrick had a fish sandwich. Both of our fish filets were cooked just right, tender and crispy. The service was attentive and the prices were reasonable. Each meal was just under $10, including the beer.
For me the best part of the meal was the spectacular view of the wide-open ocean. And how nice that the staff invited us to stay and relax in the resort's beach chairs after lunch! Growing up in Hawaii where you are seldom alone on a beach during the day, I'm always amazed to be able to go to a beautiful beach like Las Lajas in Panama and see few or no other people there. This has to be one of the nicest beaches I've seen on the Pacific side of the country so far.
After lunch we took a leisurely walk on the beach, and to our surprise found hundreds of pretty beach shells scattered across the sand. Then we drove a bit further down the road, which turned out to be more of a challenge than we had anticipated. There were large gravel stones covering the pitted dirt road. Not a comfortable drive in our little car, zigging back and forth! A truck or 4WD would be more appropriate.
At the end of this road we found a new housing development with several American-style homes already built and a couple with for sale signs. I saw one large home for $395,000. The homes and beach were beautiful but the road leading to them could use some improvement. This would be a wonderful spot to settle if you're looking for someplace a bit more isolated.
Las Lajas Beach Resort is a perfect spot for a tasty bite to eat, a cold drink, a peaceful ocean view and a quiet walk along the beach. Be sure to stop by if you're in the area!

The 15 Best Easy To Use Survey Sites and Money Making Apps
Since college I've been experimenting with money making apps and survey sites to make some extra cash. The best sites and apps have definitely changed over the years and so I've spent a while testing ones that still work. I've learned a lot, and here are some tips before you get started.
Tips Before Starting With Surveys & Money Making Apps
- If you find other survey sites not on this list, Google it to see if others have had a good experience – check the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and TrustPilot. Though we checked out A LOT of sites. If it's not listed, odds are we did not have a great experience.
- NEVER pay money for access to a survey site. The good ones are all free to sign up.
- Before you start signing up, make a separate email because you might get a lot of offers. Just add "surveys" to the end of your existing email and make a new account. You want to separate your survey/side hustle email from your personal one!
- Each survey site is looking for different demographics (age, gender, geographic location) so you should sign up for as many as you can and unsubscribe from the sites that don't cater to your demographics.
- Don't expect to quit your day job just by doing surveys! You can earn a few hundred dollars each month if you work at it, but not a full-time income.
While some sites list 20+ surveys, we recommend less than 8 here. After testing out a ton, we realized the majority are spammy and junk. The others are money making apps that don't require you to fill out forms at all.
If you're looking for the international versions of this post, go here instead to find international sites, sorted specifically by country.
If you're looking for more side hustles and ways to make money, here's 150 of them compiled right here.
PineCone Research ($3/survey)
Pinecone Research is awesome because you get paid $3 per survey, with surveys taking between 15 minutes. No longer do you need to guess how much each survey is worth or will take. They pay out in cash or Paypal.
Survey Junkie
This is one of the highest rated survey sites out there . When I used it, it was easy to see why. There's no BS with surveys that get filled up before you're finished (like other crappy sites!) and they send you emails with targeted surveys a few times a day. You even get paid for surveys about your basic data so they can tailor your surveys for your demographics so you make more money! They also pre-fill out surveys with questions you've already answered. Payouts are via Paypal in dollars or you can redeem for gift cards.
$15 Bonus – SwagBucks
SwagBucks is one of the most well-known cashback and survey sites. They offer a $5 bonus when you sign up and $10 when you do your first cashback bonus.

$5 Bonus – Inbox Dollars
Inbox Dollars has an 8 rating on Trust Pilot and a $5 bonus. It's always awesome to get a sign up bonus.
i-Say Ipsos
This company does political and social market research for some of the biggest names in the news world and is a publicly traded company on the Paris stock exchange. Reuters partners with them and they've conducted surveys for NPR and more. In fact you can see all their poll outcomes on their "News & Polls" page if you want to take a look.
This site asks you for your opinion on music, commercials, and advertisements. The questionnaires are pretty easy, but you should only do the ones that have bonus or increased payouts to maximize your time. As a first time reviewer, you'll have to write better reviews in order to get higher payouts — they rank their reviewers from 1 to 5 star. Click here to review music and commercials.
Epoll is nice in that it sends you emails to surveys without you having to go into the website and check every day. It also allows pays you to watch television by sending you surveys about shows at times. They have an A+ rating with the BBB.
Answer surveys that affect the news cycle. Your answers are aggregated and represented in popular media — so be a part of change! There's a ton of surveys and chances to earn gift cards. They have several different segments of surveys, so you won't get as many of those surveys where you get screened out after a bunch of questions (so annoying!).
YouGov (African Americans and Hispanics)
Neilsen ($120/year)
The famous ratings company offers passive income for you if you install their app. They offer a monthly $10,000 sweepstakes if you install the app on your computer. You can also install the app onto your phones and tablet for a fixed $ every month ($5 for each device). So you can earn $120 a year just by installing their app, which is pretty great for some passive income.
SurveySavvy/SavvyConnect ($180/year)
Get $180 a year just for installing SurveyConnect. They pay $5 a month on every device you install SavvyConnect on, which is $60/year per device. Install it on all 3 and get $180 a year.
Google Cross Media Panel ($156/year)
Google pays up to $3/week, or $1 for each kind of device you have synced (phone, tablet, and PC) per week. Cross Media is now owned by Google and since you're probably giving them free data anyway, why not at least get paid for it? $3/week is $156 per year. I haven't been able to join yet as it says they're full, but I check back once in a while.
$10 Bonus – Ebates: Get Cash Back For Shopping
Ebates is one of the best known cashback sites. You do your normal online shopping, but you just click through to your shopping site through Ebates and they give you up to 10 percent cash back in cash! They even give you a $10 bonus on your first purchase through the site.
$3 Bonus – ShopTracker
Get a $3 visa giftcard for just signing up with ShopTracker, and then $36 a year for staying with them. The only requirements are to have an Amazon account and connect it. They don't take any personal information, and my Amazon buying history is pretty mundane anyway.
A little wary of linking your account? ShopTracker is owned by Neilsen. You know, that company with a $11 Billion market cap that does the ratings for all the TV shows? $40 in free money a year? Sign me up!
$10 Bonus – Ibotta
If you buy groceries, you'll get $10 for the first grocery receipt you scan through the app. If nothing else, it's a quick way to make $10 the next time you go grocery shopping. If you just want to do the bare minimum, you'll get cash rebates for scanning your receipt every time. They also have coupons for popular name brand items if you love specific items.

We suspect insulation is not something you spend a lot of time thinking about unless you work in an industry directly related to it. However, here at Icecool Trailers, we think about it all the time. We have to. Insulation is a critical part of refrigerated trailer rental, and one that cannot be ignored.
Insulation is the key to maintaining the right internal temperature while keeping warm air and moisture out. Without proper insulation, it would be impossible for us to provide our customers with refrigerated trailers and freezers. We are happy to say that modern design techniques and insulation products make today's portable refrigeration equipment more energy efficient than ever.Functions of Insulation
On the surface, it seems that insulation has a pretty simple job: keep the cold in and the heat out. Nevertheless, there is more to it than that. Insulation is important for maintaining consistent temperatures, humidity levels and, as a result, energy efficiency. It all comes down to how hard compressors have to work.
A well-insulated refrigerator or freezer trailer is one that maintains constant temperature and humidity levels over long periods when a door is not continuously being opened and closed. Moreover, just as with your fridge at home, maintaining a consistent temperature and humidity level means compressor motors do not have to run as often. The longer a temperature can be maintained, the greater the time between compressor cycles.
Requiring compressors to work less often saves energy and money. It is just common sense. Therefore, trailer manufacturers are constantly working to improve their insulation technologies and designs. One of the latest design methods is to create a fibreglass trailer shell without any seams.
Seams are one of the biggest enemies of portable cold storage. These allow cold air to escape and moisture to get into insulating materials. This is why it is not uncommon for older trailers to show signs of corrosion in the places that seams meet. Eliminating those seams with a single piece fibreglass shell eliminates most of those problems.Renting Your Trailers

By Teachers, For Teachers
Research reveals that American student interest in STEM careers is on the decline. There was a significant drop of 24% of boys wanting a STEM career, down from 36% in 2017, while girls' interest has remained unchanged year after year. A nationwide survey conducted by the Philadelphia-based Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) gathered responses from 1100 high school students ages 16-18 years old from across the U.S. on how to increase student interest and understanding in math and STEM subjects. The study found that students recommended to use more out-of-the-box teaching strategies to promote STEM interest, such as through classroom competitions, humor, and relatable lessons. Here we'll take a closer look at the results, as well as give you a few ideas on how you can implement the findings in your classroom.
According to the survey, one key way to draw more U.S. students to STEM subjects is by increasing participation in fun science projects and classroom competitions. Almost 60% of respondents recommended these ideas would increase their interest. Countless amounts of STEM-related science experiments and competitions are on the internet that can help to increase students' interest. Here are a few favorites.
There are a number of STEM competitions available for middle school and high school students to demonstrate their skills. The Google Science Fair is an online science and technology competition open to students and teams ages 13-18 years old. In addition to that, the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair is a precollege science competition open to students in grades 9-12 where students compete in regional and national competitions within 22 different subcategories in STEM fields. Meanwhile, the First Tech Challenge is open to students in grades 7-12 where students design, build, program, and operate robots to compete in the challenge.
Science projects were another key way that students suggested would draw their interest into STEM subjects. The STEM Laboratory is a great website to get science experiments and projects ideas for young, elementary school-aged children, while Science Buddies is a great website for science project ideas for middle school students.
Making STEM relatable to real life was another idea that 49 percent of respondents in the survey suggested. In order to engage students more deeply, you can structure your STEM lessons to relate to what students already know. Giving students concrete examples, talking about past experiences, bringing up current events, or even inviting in a guest speaker to talk to students are all great ways to relate the real world to your STEM lessons. Going on a field trip and using media as a tool is another creative way to optimize learning and connect students to the real world. Field trips offer students a hands-on way to connect what they are learning to the real world, while media tools like YouTube, newsfeeds, social media and podcasts can help gain students' interest by bringing the real world to the classroom.
Adding humor to STEM subjects through videos and projects was another suggestion that would gain student interest, said 32% of students surveyed. While STEM subjects aren't usually associated with humor, if it will gain student interest in STEM, then it's worth a try.
With the gaining popularity of social media and apps such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, today's children are drawn to more creative and entertaining ways to capture their attention. These apps allow users to be creative and make videos that use music and other graphics to share with others. Educators can use these types of popular platforms to increase student interest in STEM subjects by allowing their students to video their STEM experiments and projects in a creative and imaginative way that uses humor. These non-traditional, technological ways of sharing information may be just the thing to capture students' attention when it comes to STEM learning.
Students believe that the U.S. government can help boost enthusiasm as well. Twenty-five percent of respondents said the government can be supportive by backing up STEM-related competitions and projects, while 23% suggested they can provide better resources and classroom technology. Twenty-one percent believed the government should support STEM-related awards and scholarships, while 18% suggested more funding and after school math and science clubs.
When it comes to improving a key component of STEM math, survey results showed that one -third of students said that more one-on-one assistance, as well as using real-life examples, were the best ways to do it. Twenty-one percent of students suggested improving math skills through fun games, technology and interactive multimedia would do the trick.
While STEM interest for students may be on the decline, what we can learn from these survey results is that there is hope in increasing the interest of STEM education and future careers in STEM for our youth. By taking these results and implementing the student suggestions into all STEM lessons, we can effectively gain student interest.
How will use these survey results as means to increase student STEM interest in your classroom?
