Rapper Meek Mill joined Marc Howard, director of the Georgetown Prison Justice Initiative, in the Lohrfink Auditorium for a conversation on criminal justice reform on Nov. 7. In an event hosted by the Lecture Fund, Mill reflected on his personal experiences in the criminal justice system and how he hopes to use his platform as a celebrity to speak for others wronged by the system.
“I grew up in an environment where, you know, a lot of bad things happen. People lose their lives on a daily basis, people go to jail on a daily basis, but most important, we see violence from babies coming up,” Mill said.
His upbringing in South Philadelphia had a profound effect on his life. “It’s like I’m on a hundred miles an hour race to meet the penitentiary from the start,” he said.
In 2007, at 19 years old, he was arrested for illegal possession of a firearm. “I wasn’t old enough to get my firearm license and people was just dying in my neighborhood on a daily basis, that’s just what it was. I made the decision that I was gonna try to protect myself,” Mill said.
After his arrest, Mill spent six months in prison because he could not afford bail. His bail was eventually reduced and when he got out he began selling marijuana to pay for a lawyer. Mill was later sentenced to two years in prison and eight years of probation for the gun charge.
Mill was also arrested twice in 2017, once for a misdemeanor assault at a St. Louis airport and then for reckless driving when he popped wheelies on his motorcycle. Because Mill was still on probation from his 2007 gun charge, he went back to jail for almost five months, even though both charges were later dropped. The severity of the punishment sparked outrage, leading to the Twitter hashtag #Justice4Meek and a Change.org petition that received over 400,000 signatures.
“This petition is designed to show the amount of people who believe that Meek’s punishment was harsh and unjust. It is a waste of not only taxpayer resources to incarcerate Meek for 2-4 years but it is also a disservice to the youth and community at large,” the petition reads. Mill is currently out on bail for his 2017 probation violation.
“A lot of people think probation means you’re safe, you’re home, you’re out of jail,” Howard said. “Anyone would take that deal, take probation no matter how many years they’re offered, just to get out of jail. But the problem is, it’s a trap.”
Mill said that being on probation means that he constantly has to ask for permission. “I had to ask for permission to come here for something that happened in 2007,” Mill said.
“I did everything possibly you could do to be a citizen and one mistake on probation could put you back in prison. When I say mistake it’s the difference between committing a crime and making a mistake,” Mill said. “Me, I could’ve just come here without notifying my probation officer and I would’ve been in violation and could’ve gone to jail for a matter of years.”
Howard said that many people misunderstand a parole violation as a new crime. “A violation is missing an appointment with your parole officer, somehow marijuana testing even if it’s legal, or craziest of all, popping a wheelie on a motorcycle,” Howard said.
According to Mill, his celebrity status has had both advantages and disadvantages in his case.”I almost felt offended that I had to be famous for people to notice that this was a wrong,” Mill said.
On the other hand, Mill has felt that his status as a celebrity has made him a target for jealousy in the courtroom. Because of this, Mill said that judges and police officers should be evaluated on a regular basis.
In light of these experiences with elected officials in the criminal justice system, Mill said that he felt voting is a particularly important issue and encouraged his young followers on Instagram to vote.
Mill hopes to use his platform and influence to help others be heard. He is currently working on a documentary with Amazon, produced by Jay-Z, that follows him throughout his experiences in criminal justice system, which is set to premiere in 2019.
“I just want to do incredible things and help make change,” Mill said. “I want this to be a part of my legacy, because God has put this in front of me.”

HOUSTON, Texas – More than a dozen people attending a Snoop Dogg concert in Houston were taken to the hospital for heat-related illnesses, media reports state.
The concert, which was sold out, took place on Saturday night at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, north of Houston.
Officials with the Montgomery County Hospital District told KPRC, KSAT’s sister station in Houston, that 35 concert-goers experienced heat-related illnesses.
Among those, 16 adults were taken to the hospital in stable condition. Their ages are unknown.
Heat-related illnesses may include heat stroke or heat exhaustion. If someone is experiencing a heat stroke, 911 should be called immediately, as a delay could lead to death.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says heat cramps, sunburn and heat rash are also considered heat-related illnesses.
The CDC recommends people stay hydrated with water and wear light-weight, light-colored and loose-fitting clothing during extreme heat.
See the video below for an explainer on heat stroke and heat exhaustion, and the symptoms to look out for.

Why is English good for music?
In a nutshell, since English is not a tonal language and is very permissive when referring to stress and prosody, it is much simpler than Spanish, with its very precise vowels and stresses. Eurovision is a very good example of how far English language has reached in music.
What is it about the Italian language that makes it suitable for singing?
In spoken – and sung – Italian, the sequence of ‘staccato’ and ‘tenuto’ sounds created by long and short consonants, is also what gives Italian its musicality. This rhythmic sequence of consonants provides the framework from which the vowel sounds can be projected and shine.
Can Andrea Bocelli speak Spanish?
The Italian tenor does not speak Spanish (unlike Laura Pausini) and has yet to record an entire album in that language (unlike Pausini, Eros Ramazotti, and Nek). Yet Bocelli’s past two albums have sold millions of copies in the Latin region on the strength of merely a few Spanish tracks each.

When it comes to getting airplay on French radio, acts that sing in French have an advantage because French stations are legally required to play at least 40% French music.

Who is the most famous French singer?
As one of the most famous French singers ever, Edith Piaf turned romantic strife into exquisite art with her enduring ballads “La Vie En Rose” and “Je Ne Regrette Rien.” As one of first true crossover stars, her melancholic melodies won the world over and then some.
What is the language of music called?
Musical languages are constructed languages based on musical sounds, which tend to incorporate articulation. Unlike tonal languages, focused on stress, and whistled languages, focused on pitch bends, musical languages distinguish pitches or rhythms.
Can Sting speak French?
Last month, the track debuted in France at Number One on iTunes, and stayed there for four days. It’s now available in the U.S., to be followed with a video next month. Sting, it turns out, is perfectly equipped to steal a fancy car and run off with a Frenchwoman, as he does in the video — he’s fluent in French.
Why do foreign bands sing in English?
Re: Why do a lot of european bands sing in english? Very simple. It’s because English is cool, and it happens that a lot of European artists know just enough of the language to actually write a song in it, despite how silly the end result might look like.
Can Jewel sing in French?
Jewel gave EW some insight into what went into her rendition of “La Vie En Rose.” Her first challenge was learning a song entirely in French, which she said she doesn’t speak. Then, since she couldn’t use a teleprompter, she had to find another way to remember the foreign lyrics. “…

What languages does Regina Spektor speak?
Personal life. Spektor is fluent in Russian and reads Hebrew.

Washington 5th-rounder Sprinkle could be on roster bubble
- Rich Tander of CSN Mid-Atlantic speculates that Redskins tight end Jeremy Sprinkle is no lock to make the team’s final roster. Even though Sprinkle was a fifth-round pick, Washington would probably have to keep four tight ends for him to be one of the final 53. He currently sits behind Jordan Reed, Vernon Davis, and Niles Paul on the depth chart.
- Sprinkle had the second-best 2016 drop rate of all tight ends drafted in 2017 at 5.71, behind only O.J. Howard. He was targeted 54 times in 2016, and dropped only two of 35 catchable passes.
- Of the 23 college tight ends that were targeted at least 50 times in 2016, Sprinkle had the lowest yards per route run at 1.16. His overall PFF grade of 72.1 ranked 43rd out of 199 qualifying tight ends.

CLARK, Wyo. — Today, firefighters used water enhancing gel extensively in areas of the fire where the terrain is so rugged, it is unsafe for firefighters to build line. The enhancer used is called “Thermo-Gel” and consists of 99 percent water and a very small amount, 1 percent, of the gel concentrate. The gel concentrate consists of super-absorbent polymers mixed with water and is being used to suppress fire activity in the northeast area of the fire. The gel enhances the efficiency of water and was used to target specific hotspots. Approximately 50 helicopter bucket loads of water enhancer were used today.
Fireline has been built in the Robertson Creek drainage in preparation for a burnout operation however; we will not be conducting this operation prior to a wind event forecasted for Thursday. We will use this fireline as a secondary contingency line.
The Hole in the Wall fire remains at 6,200 acres and has increased to 85 percent containment.
Presently there are 297 personnel assigned to the incident including four Hot Shot crews, seven helicopters, 13 engines, one dozer and one water tender. As percentage of containment increases fire managers will begin demobilization of resources.
Cooperating and assisting agencies include the Montana DNRC; the Clark Fire Department; Custer and Shoshone National Forests; Park County Fire, Park County Sheriff, Red Lodge Rural Fire, Carbon County, MT Sheriff.
The Red Lodge Information Center has closed. For your information needs contact the Information Center in Clark. Hours for the Information Center are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The ongoing saga of creationist Ken Ham's "Ark Encounter" theme park in Kentucky just took a hilariously unexpected turn.
According to Hemant Mehta of the Friendly Athiest (who's been following Ham's "Ark" for quite some time), Ham was sent a letter by the Kentucky Tourism, Arts, and Heritage Cabinet telling them a shady deed transfer violates the conditions of their sweet sales tax rebate deal secured for the failing creationist theme park.
The entire issue could have been avoided, Mehta argued, if Ham would have simply allowed the city of Williamstown, Kentucky (which houses the expensive theme park) to add a 50-cent surcharge to pay for a safety fee required of all parks in the state.
Rather than pay it, however, Ham decided to "sell" the deed of the park from Answers in Genesis, his for-profit LLC, to Crosswater Canyon, a non-profit he also owns -- making the park tax-exempt in the process.
According to the tourism cabinet's letter, the park "is in breach of its Tourism Development Agreement" now that it's been sold to Crosswater Canyon -- and in a brilliant display of pettiness, the tourism board accused Ham of being aware of the possibility of violating the rebate.
"We believe that your client is aware that they may not be eligible for state tax incentives if the Ark Project is owned by a non-profit legal entity," the letter to Ham's lawyers reads. "Answers in Genesis, the parent company of Crosswater Canyon, Inc., and Ark Encounter, LLC clearly states on its website: 'The for-profit LLC structure also allows the Ark Encounter to be eligible for various economic development incentives that would not have been available with a non-profit structure.'”
The text the letter quoted came from Ark Encounter's FAQ, and has since been deleted.
The letter also stipulates that the park will be able to collect the tax rebate from the state up until June 28, 2017 -- less than a year after its' July 7, 2016 opening.
In short, Mehta wrote, the Kentucky tourism cabinet told Ham that "'the deal is over'".

A hip replacement is one of the most common and successful operations carried out on the Island
Each year around 250 patients are admitted to St Mary’s Hospital to undergo the surgery that can bring to an end what have often been years of pain and misery. The operation is fairly straightforward, but when it was MY turn there was inevitably some trepidation. The questions ‘what if…what if?’ went through my mind. But looking back I need not have concerned myself unduly. I could hardly have been treated better by the dedicated NHS team, headed by Salim Nasra, consultant orthopaedic surgeon, with a special interest in hip and knee surgery.
Mr Nasra explained: “Hip and knee replacements are among the most common operations in the UK. It is one of the most successful orthopaedic operations ever invented, and has improved the quality of patients’ life in a huge way.”
The biggest cause of a hip problem is osteoarthritis, with a smaller number due to rheumatoid arthritis. Surgery usually takes between an hour and 90 minutes. There are two procedures; one where the joint is fixed to the bone with cement, and the one I had, which was without cement. With un-cemented, the joint is coated with a special material, and the bone grows into it within six to 10 weeks.
I had some reservations after being told I would remain semi-conscious throughout surgery. Mr Nasra said: “The concept of keeping a patient semi-conscious rather than administering a full anaesthetic has been used for several years. We use spinal anaesthetic instead (the same principle as an epidural), which we feel is good for the patient for several reasons.
“First, there is no intubation, and secondly during the operation the blood pressure remains lower than usual which reduces bleeding, so surgery can be carried out more effectively. More importantly post-operation you don’t have any feeling in the legs, so you don’t need a large amount of painkillers. Around 85 per cent of patients undergoing hip replacement are given this method.”
I can confirm that during surgery, with headphones on listening to music, I heard a certain amount of banging, and recall the sound of staples being used to seal the wound. But it seemed a world away. In fact the anaethetist did speak to me on one occasion, but only to wake me up because I was snoring! Within minutes of the operation being completed I was in the recovery ward, fully conscious and having a cuppa.
In the operating theatre during surgery there was the surgeon, an assistant, the anaesthetist and assistant, the scrub nurse and two or three ‘runners’. So when Mr. Nasra says he needed a certain type of joint the ‘runner’ went to shelves in the store room to get the right prosthetic piece. For a hip replacement there are up to six sizes for the ball joint, and more for the cup.
“We need more than one of each in case we do several replacements in a few days, and do not want to run out,” he said. “The success of hip operations is multi-factorial. It is a combined effort from everyone involved in the patient’s care, which in turn reduces the patient’s stay in hospital after surgery. When I arrived at St Mary’s in 2000 the length of stay was about two weeks. But we have subsequently worked on a fast-track discharge.
“It is a combined effort by surgeon, anaesthetist, doctors and nurses, occupational therapists and physiotherapists. We have pre-admission clinics for everyone to be examined before surgery, and the patients are given leaflets and booklets to explain the procedure, and what they can and cannot do after the operation. It is about preparation and attention to detail.
“Now a patient can be discharged more quickly but without compromising their safety. The length of stay after a hip operation is around five days – a significant reduction to even five years ago.”
I was discharged little more than 48 hours after surgery and told it was because I was quite fit and healthy and still comparatively young for such an operation. A nurse specialist clinic has also been created, with the nurse overseeing all post-operative patients; usually six weeks for knees and three months for hips. But because my hip was un-cemented I was seen again after six weeks.
In all there were a dozen or more NHS staff caring for me, from ward sister to occupational therapist and surgeon to the district nurse, who visited me at home to dress my wound several times after discharge. I would like to thank all of them, and I hope that recounting my experiences will help allay the fears of any reader who is about to face similar hip replacement surgery.
And as real bonus for the first time in more years than I can remember I can now put on my left sock unaided, and tie my left shoe lace again. So for me the operation is already proving a big success!

Eagle girls’ hoop wins fourth straight game
BRISTOL — As the truism goes, strong defense and rebounding typically wins basketball games.
Certainly, those elements appeared to be the difference when the host Mount Abraham Union High School girls edged Spaulding on Saturday afternoon, 40-39, in a rematch of the 2022 Division II title game — also won by the Eagles.
Not only did Mount Abe pile up a 33-22 advantage on the boards, with sophomore center Mackenzie Griner grabbing 13 of those rebounds, but also after Griner’s late go-ahead hoop the Eagles pressured Tide standouts Yvonne Roberge and Sage MacAuley into missing shots.
When MacAuley’s banked shot from the left block fell off the front of the rim as the horn sounded, the Eagles had won their fourth straight game. They improved to 9-8 and moved into sixth place in D-II heading into Tuesday’s game at undefeated first-place North Country. Even a loss there should allow them to earn a home playoff game if they play to their potential in their other remaining contests during the regular season.
That is, especially if the Eagles continue to hit the boards and get after their opponents defensively, said Coach Koran Cousino and senior guard Lucy Parker, who led a balanced Mount Abe attack with nine points vs. Spaulding.
Cousino said Saturday’s boardwork took away an important part of Spaulding’s attack.
“We did rebound well, especially defensive rebounds. We didn’t give them the second chances that they love,” Cousino said.
Parker said the Eagles’ defensive pressure helped the offense get easy baskets, part of a recent trend in their winning streak.
“It starts with defense. We’ve been focusing on defense in practices and games,” Parker said. “It’s turning us around.”
“We spend a lot of time focusing on defense and rebounding. That’s the bottom line, and you can see it,” Cousino said. “In the beginning of the season we were scoring a lot of points, but we were giving up a lot of points, so I’ve tried to flip the switch.”
It also helped on Saturday against a team that entered their gym with a 13-2 record that the Eagles got off to a fast start, forcing eight Tide turnovers in the first period and taking a 9-4 lead in the first 5:10.
Four Eagles scored in the surge. Parker sank three free throws after being fouled twice in transition, Madi Gile hit in the lane, Griner converted in the post, and Maia Jensen added a fast-break bucket.
For the Tide, Gracie Martin scored all five of her points in the period, and Roberge had four as Spaulding pulled to within 13-11 entering the second quarter.
The Eagles stretched that lead to 24-19 at the halftime break with a lift from sophomore Louisa Painter in the second period. Painter scored all five of her points and grabbed most of her six rebounds in the quarter, and Mount Abe’s 2-2-1 press and 2-3 zone defense held the Tide to eight points.
Cousino said she had watched film of Thetford troubling Spaulding with a similar approach, but tweaked it a bit.
“Even though it was a 2-3 zone, I thought it was more of a match-up look, where we were trying not to let 33, Sage MacAuley, or Yvonne Roberge get the ball,” she said.
The Eagles threatened to run away in the third period as Parker and Jensen accounted for all eight of their points over the first four minutes as the lead grew to 32-23. The lead was still nine before Tide freshman Sophie Guariello stole the ball and laid it in with at 0:05 to set the score at 34-27 after three quarters.
Then Tide tightened their player-to-player defense in the fourth, and Roberge broke loose for a jumper and a three-pointer, and it was 34-32 two minutes in. Payton Vincent scored inside to put the Eagles up by four at 5:20, but after buckets by Charlotte Young and MacAuley the game was tied at 36-36 at 3:25.
A Gile baseline drive at 3:12 put the Eagles back on top, but a Guariello free throw and a MacAuley hoop in the lane at 1:30 gave Spaulding the lead at 39-38.
The Eagles answered. Gile and Jensen combined to work the ball to Griner on the left block, and she converted at 1:10. After unsuccessful possessions by both teams, Roberge missed under pressure with 10 seconds to go, and the teams scrambled after the rebound.
The officials finally awarded the Tide a time-out under the basket with 2.3 seconds to go. MacAuley got a decent look, but the shot didn’t fall, and the Eagles celebrated what was so far their biggest win of the season.
Roberge led the Tide with 13 points, MacAuley and Aliyah Elliot were next with six each, and Guariello and Martin added five apiece.
Parker added four steals and two assists to her nine points. Jensen finished with six points, six steals and four assists; Griner with six points to go with her 13 boards; Gile with six points and three assists; and Morgan Barnard with six points and two steals.
What doesn’t show up in the stats is what Cousino and Parker called improving team chemistry.
“We’re talking a lot more on defense and communicating,” Parker said. “The overall team bond has gone up, and it’s really shown on the court.”

Thanks. I agree that BD has no business intervening in Burma.Kachin or Karens are none of our business and they live are far away from the BD border. Even if it is Rohingya, BD just cannot cross the international border that was decided during the time of President Ayub Khan sometime in the 1960s (?).
By that Treaty, Burmese troops withdrew south of Naaf Dariya and the centerline of Naaf has been demarcated as the international border. Before that, both banks of the river belonged to Burma.
BD is not a superpower like America or Russia. It is the only crying baby in this world.

South Africa’s electricity supply challenges will not be solved by renewable energy alone as the country needs a “hybrid solution” that involves multiple sources of electricity generation.
This is according to former Eskom COO Jan Oberholzer, who told BizNews that as Eskom’s old coal-fired power stations go offline, they cannot be fully replaced by renewables.
The average age of Eskom’s coal fleet, excluding Medupi and Kusile, is 44 years, with many plants set to be decommissioned before the end of the decade.
Current estimates indicate that 11,000 MW of generation capacity will have to be decommissioned by 2030.
As these old power stations end their lives, generation capacity will decrease, and renewables cannot effectively replace this.
“When does the sun shine and the wind blow? It is always at the time you do not need it,” Oberholzer said.
You need a hybrid solution, which involves more stable energy sources in the form of coal, gas, nuclear, or hydro. Another solution is to invest heavily in storage technology, which the country does not have the finances to do.
“I believe that until we have taken this extremely seriously, we will be sitting with electricity supply challenges in South Africa,” Oberholzer said.
The unreliability of renewable energy will require excess capacity to be built. To replace the 11,000 MW lost from decommissioning coal plants, 50,000 MW of renewable capacity will have to be built.
This was revealed by the chairman of the South African Independent Power Producers Association, Brian Day.
Day said renewable energy is the only solution that allows such a large capacity to come onstream within a decade.
However, renewable energy is highly inefficient, with solar and wind generation only operating at 35% to 45% capacity, as the sun does not always shine and the wind does not always blow.
Using a capacity factor of 40% and assuming that Eskom’s current generation shortfall will have to be covered, South Africa needs 50,000 MW of renewable capacity by the end of the decade.
Eskom estimates that 53,000 MW will be added to the grid by 2030, while the Presidential Climate Commission estimates up to 60,000 MW will need to be built.
This will require Eskom’s grid to be upgraded and develop storage capacity for renewables along with backup power in the form of gas, coal, or nuclear.
Day said this provides an enormous opportunity for companies in South Africa and the economy more broadly. Investment on this scale will drive economic growth and provide employment.
He urged the government and the private sector to expand local manufacturing capacity for renewable technology and develop plans to reskill workers.

Time to repost the most recent Deseret News article from yesterday.
As many observers expected the U.S. Federal Reserve began a new round of quantitative easing this fall in an attempt to stimulate the economy by increasing the supply of available money. As I discussed at the beginning of August, there is no fundamental difference between quantitative easing and the Fed's normal open market operations. In the latter case the Fed buys U.S. Treasury securities on the bond market and in the former case it buys other non-traditional financial assets. In both cases, however, it pays for these purchases by creating money.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that the agency will begin implementing its policy on the issuance of ‘Notices to Appear’ in cases involving inadmissible and deportable foreign nationals on Oct. 1, and will take an “incremental approach” to its implementation.
The policy memo was issued June 28 and establishes when a Notice to Appear, or NTA, will be issued to individuals whose petition or application with USCIS is denied. The NTA is a document USCIS issues as the first step in deportation proceedings that instructs the recipient to appear before an immigration judge. USCIS announced the new policy in July but then delayed its implementation.
Additional information on the teleconference is available on the Upcoming National Engagements page. USCIS will provide updates and information on the implementation of this policy memo on its new Notice to Appear Policy Memorandum page.
BAL Analysis: BAL is closely monitoring the implementation of this policy and will provide additional analysis following tomorrow’s teleconference.

Walks around the Park
The Farm Walk. 60 min. Grade 1
This walk takes you from the Waterfall car park via a stile into the lush green fields where sheep graze. Yellow way-marks guide you via other stiles and gates to the tree lined banks of a stream. Some of the oldest sessile oak trees in the park are on this walk. The base of a famine road can be discerned. A stroll through the well-managed pastures brings you to a field on to the road near the main bridge.
The remaining section of the walk is up the road. On your right is a dry-stone wall, no mortar was used, built during 2005. Much of the stone was re-claimed from the derelict wall and some was collected from the steams. Half-way along here is a seat built in to the wall that makes a good photo opportunity with the waterfall in he background. May 2005 a film crew from USA filmed this being built along with other features of the park for a travel programme called "Passport to Europe".
On the other side of the road, between the road and the stream is the newly designed Wheelchair and Sensory Garden. The road leads uphill to the farm buildings; the first one is the lambing shed with the dipping pens behind. The road becomes even steeper as it follows the stream on the left which is a series of wonderful rock pools where some take a refreshing dip on hot days, there are picnic tables here. A road to the right leads into some farm buildings one of which is now Gleninchaquin Art Gallery. During lambing orphans are kept and bottle fed here and the hand shearing demonstrations are given. There are some pieces of old farm machinery and tools and a butter churn to look at.
You can either walk across the field to the car park or continue up the road, past the old homestead to Reception and refreshments. You could stop at the Water Garden on your left as you leave the farm-building road.
The River Walk and Water Garden, 40 min. Grade 2.
This is best approached from the Reception car park. Walk down the hill until you see the sign on your right.
At the start of the walk is The Water Garden which was created a few years ago and is being developed. The two ponds swarm with tadpoles in the season and water lilies, the logo for the park, grace them in the summer.
The walk ascends following the stream, a delightful series of rock pools and cascades of unusual design. There are handrails, steps and bridges to assist in ascending through the wooded area which is home to several tree species, wild flowers and fungi. Pied and Grey Wagtails also Dippers frequent the fast moving stream. Near the top there is a picnic table near a picturesque Waterfall. The walk ends at a gate opening onto a track that leads up into the mountains or back down to the farm.
Gleninchaquin Gallery is just below where the track meets the road.
Over The Waterfall. 115 min. Grade 4
Beginning at the waterfall car park the trail crosses the twin streams at the base of the falls by bridges or fords. The wide track ascends up the mountainside through the new woodland enclosure, a Native Woodland Scheme of some 40 acres, this track terminates at Cummenadillure, a deep black lake in a coombe.
Halfway up, on the right is a new path descending to a steam crossed by a stone bridge, this is the Heritage Trail.
At the lake the trail steepens and takes a right turn over a stile in the high fence. The next section is up the rocky mountainside following the white and red way marks to the top. There are signs at the top marking the start of Trail No 4 marked with yellow and one pointing to a Viewing Point. It is worth taking the short detour to see the upper valley with Lake Cummenaloughaun in its centre.
The trail descends to the top of the waterfall which is crossed by a log bridge. The heavy logs were flown up to their location by helicopter when opened to the public. The ever changing vistas of the valley with its lakes descending to Kenmare Bay and the McGillycuddy's Reeks in the distance is a memorable experience. The upper valley is in stark contrast with its terraces of bare rock and green ledgers and the floor of the valley covered with tussocks of Melina grass surrounding the small lake half covered with water lilies in the summer. There is a bog area at this point and the method of harvesting the turf or peat can be seen. The White and red way marks lead to a flight of steps cut in the rock that lead down off the mountain on to a wide track. Halfway down, on the right is a picnic area and charcoal pit. Towards the bottom there is a wooded area and a small wooden gate opens into the delightful River Walk making a nice contrast to the rugged mountain trail. There is another picnic spot near a small waterfall. The farm and Gleninchaquin Gallery are at the end of this walk.
Upper Valley Walk. 4hrs (from car park) Grade 4-5. Notify of Intention
To get to the start, which is signed in yellow, follow the first half of Trail No 3.
The Upper Valley walk follows the rim of the valley making a complete circuit around Lake Cummenaloughaun. There are no footpaths and you need to be alert to spot the yellow way marks. If the lake is kept in sight to the left you will not get lost. This part of the hike will take about 3 hrs.
This place feels like a real wilderness and as only a small percentage of our visitors take this walk those that do have it to themselves adding to the impression.(contrary to the impression your mobile phone will probably work here and no where else in the park or extended valley.)
The descent back to the farm and well deserved refreshments is via the flight of steps to the right of the falls. You can take the River Walk as the final 15 min. of your excursion. Gleninchaquin Gallery is near the end of the walk.
The Heritage Trail. 90min. Grade 3
This is a new trail that takes in most of the lower valley and a number of Heritage features both cultural and natural. Beginning in the waterfall car park the trail crosses the twin streams by bridges or fords and enters the new woodland enclosure which is part of our long-term Heritage Program. As a Native woodland Scheme it is planted with 5 native species of trees, 10's of thousands of young trees with just a single stem, were set in upturned sods during March 2006. The high fences and gates are to keep out the deer, Ferrell goats and sheep. The trail ascends the wide track until the sign for The Heritage Trail indicates the new path down into the valley which crosses the stone bridge. Soon after the bridge there is a walled enclosure that once served to protect drying crops and called a 'haggard', it is planned to make it into an orchard with old varieties of Irish fruit. Leaving the enclosure and crossing a small stream brings you to the Heritage Site, an 18th Century farmstead, uninhabited for more than 130 years. There are two buildings within an enclosed yard. The covering of vegetation and soil was removed and the walls cleared during 2005. Further investigation and restoration is planned.(See Heritage/Cultural). There are other features of Heritage here that go much further back in time. The next section of the trail is way marked as it crosses what was once the walled fields of the farmstead. Before it descends to the footpath there is a sign Viewing Point which leads to a view down the valley to the sea over the top of woodlands. The new footpath resumes just beyond the gate back into the enclosure and descends with the assistance of steps to the stream. A new wooden bridge crosses above a beautiful series of waterfalls and pools right on the boundary of the park into a small field. The field gate gives access on to the road leading back into the park and eventually the tea room and car parks. On the way there is a newly restored dry-stone wall, the Wheelchair and Sensory Garden, Rock pools, Farm buildings and Art Gallery. Throughout the length of this walk there are numerous examples of Gleninchaquins Heritage both cultural and natural. (See Heritage)
Walking the Boundaries. 7hrs. Grade 5. Notify. Food/drink/clothing
This walk is for the experienced hiker as there are no paths or way marks.
There is some scrambling in parts. Guided excursions can be arranged for groups.
The route follows the boundaries of Gleninchquin Park which, bye and large are defined by the high ridges of the Caher Mountain Range, starting with the Western ridge above the Heritage Site. This walk has to be experienced to be appreciated. A number of walking groups come each year for the experience sometimes combining it with another day walking the Beara Way which passes close by.

"The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve;
Lovers to bed; 'tis almost fairy time."
Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night's Dream
What activities? but there is so much to do when you are a fairy! The list is endless, but being a hundred years old and rather young means that you have unending energy and the best of spirits. June bugs and ladybirds, robins and snails, earth worms and weasels, all these creatures must be taken care of. And who better suited for the job than a jolly and cheeky fairy with a purple heart?.
The Featherstitch family to which Cretania belongs to is very important in this corner of the boreal forest. They are close relatives of the Elves of Rainbow Falls, who take care of the lady slippers, paint bunch berries in the summer and help uncurl the fiddleheads. Her Grandmother on her father side gave her a beautiful shawl, made of raw silk,wood pulp, and crushed flower petals, hand knit by the wonderful ladies of the Spiderweb Guild, talented weavers and knitters alike, as a powerful talisman. When Cretania hears the little steps of children in the woods she wraps her shawl around her and pouf! she has disappeared from the prying eyes of those who don't believe...but if you look closely, with an open heart and a big smile, she will let you see her and play with her.
Cretania Featherstitch is a fairy that just had to be born out of my hands. I haven't made a faerie in two years, and all of a sudden she was there, on my working table, smiling at me and twinkling her little ears. She is a doll 13" tall, made of all natural materials. Her hair is a made of different fibres, she has mohair locks sewn and woven into a crochet cap, and long strands of wool/silk handspun hair attached as well. Her hair is very sturdy and can be finger styled. She is made of cotton and stuffed with wool.
Cretania wears a fairy linen dress, hand-embroidered, and lined with linen gauze and silk dupioni. The dress closes on back with a snail button and velvet straps. She is also wearing a pair of silk dupioni pantaloons, and cotton shoes that close with glass buttons. Her wings are made of wool, felt, and silk, and have three sea shell twinkles (wings are removable). Her hand knit shawl is made of wool, cotton and raw silk, and it can also be worn as a kerchief. Her tiny little crown is made of cotton lace.
Although Cretania is not a Figlette, she does have tiny pointy ears. She is a doll made for a child 4+, who knows how to play gently and who has a firm belief in magical creatures. I think Cretania is meant to have a wonderful life. If you think that your home will be suitable for her, please leave a comment here and I will select a person to purchase her tomorrow May 9th at 7:00 PM EST. Her price is $285 + shipping.
The process of selecting a name usually involves one of my daughters, who love to take part in this activity. It is a cute way of involving my children in my dollmaking, and keeps them at bay from trying to help too too much using the sewing machine or cutting my fabrics! When time allows, one of them selects a name out of a basket, when they are not around I use a random number generator. I could never pick a person to buy any of my dolls, all your comments are always very wonderful and appreciated!
**Notice. PLEASE only leave a comment if you are personally interested in purchasing her. Asking your friends to submit comments for you is not allowed, and is not very nice to the others, so please refrain from doing this. Thank you.
Thank you kindly to everybody who wanted to give Cretania a loving home.
We have just selected the lucky family and if all goes well, she should start the beginning of her travels soon. She is very happy and at the moment she's stuffing herself silly with all kinds of candy, I hope she goes to bed early...so I can keep working on the next two dolls in the "Scones on Sunday" collection...after this rather lovely interruption of Cretania.
See you soon!


Cairn producing (also generally known as rock stacking, stone balancing or ordinary building) is definitely the process of creating a small pile or tower system of stones. It’s a thrilling creative activity that Goshen students delight in and can as well teach a lesson to the environment and how we while humans affect each of our surroundings. Buttes can take on various forms and have a variety of requirements, including as memorials, burial sites, navigational aids (by land or perhaps sea), or perhaps to bench mark a trek.
Some buttes are very sophisticated https://cairnspotter.com/what-is-a-business-model-and-how-to-create-one/ with a distinct layout and tactical balancing of much larger stones above smaller types. Others are more simple, such as a single mountain stack that marks a trail or perhaps other landmark. These straightforward cairns undoubtedly are a common eyesight along walking trails, but they may also be found in other landscapes. Actually they’re frequently used as markers in the alpine tundra or perhaps other ledgey places where it can also be difficult to the actual trail.
When these buttes serve an affordable purpose, they will also be unsafe to hikers who could misinterpret all of them as path markers. This really is a big answer why National Leisure areas and status parks frequently specifically ask visitors not to ever build or progress these stacks. They are also a detritus to wildlife that lives in the crevices and hollows of rocks. For example , frogs and salamanders rely on these spots to breed or lay ovum. In addition , the stones that are taken off the ecosystem can result in rivers and streams just where they damage aquatic pesky insects and amphibians (like zygor! ).

With all the hustle and bustle of the holidays what is one of the most important things we can do to keep our pets calm and relaxed?
A consistent schedule. You may be running around from party to party but you still need to see to your dog’s needs. Plan when he will get his exercise. And definitely plan ahead about logistics- are you traveling with your pet or boarding him? Plan now! If he’s not used to staying at a pet retreat, a one night stay before your trip can really help him feel more comfortable.
Is it ok to give my dog some extra treats during the holidays?
I never recommend feeding your dog extra food, but people tend to want to spoil their dogs around the holidays. Look for other, healthier, ways to spoil your dog. I’m a fan of the Bark Box (www.barkbox.com) where your dog receives a care package in the mail each month- a gift that keeps on giving!
Is there anything pet owners should be mindful of when decorating during the holidays?
Be aware of ivy, mistletoe, and poinsettia plants that are toxic if dogs eat them. Tether your holiday tree so it doesn’t get knocked over (speaking from experience!). Put the larger ornaments on the bottom of the tree and cherished ones up top. Train your dog to stay away from your tree. We sell a product on our website that will help.

In a post that shadows the sentiment from our open letter to lawmakers, Insomniac CEO Pasquale Rotella urges policy makers to analyze the true effects of banning electronic music festivals before taking action.
Stemming from the tragic events that transpired at this year’s HARD Summer Festival, this is a topic that has recently been in the hot seat.
“First and foremost, my heart goes out to the friends and family of those two young women. We don’t condone or tolerate drug use, but the problem here isn’t raves or dance music, or even festivals in general. The health impact of drug abuse in our country extends far beyond what happens at our events. I lost five friends to drug overdoses at a young age, none of which occurred at dance music festivals; most of them weren’t even fans of the genre. No one wrote about them.
Dance culture has survived for decades and has never been more popular. Banning these events at facilities where we are able to provide first-rate medical care and emergency services is not the answer. I hope that policymakers and the media do not turn their backs on a cultural movement that is thriving and brings so much happiness to a generation that, quite frankly, needs an environment where they can feel loved and accepted. Most just want healthy interaction with their peers.
I know that if I didn’t have access to this community growing up, my life would have taken a much different turn. I see nothing but great opportunity within large gatherings; opportunity to promote health, happiness, individuality, and human connection.
If we’re trying to create a safe and secure environment for these passionate fans, sending them back into the unregulated underground isn’t a step in the right direction. We all need to do our part in creating a national dialogue that educates our youth and encourages them to be accountable for their choices—especially when it comes to drugs.”
With Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis calling for a temporary ban on raves on county property, Rotella echoes the thoughts presented in our open letter.
Put simply, bans are not the answer.
Education and community, however, just might be. Only time will tell, but we wholeheartedly agree that sending these events back to the unregulated underground is definitely a step in the wrong direction.

Easy Weeknight Meals from the Grill
Head outside for weeknight grill recipes featuring big flavors, short prep time, and minimal cleanup
Healthier, better-tasting meals are easier than you think with help from Yummly! Try it free now.
Above: Grilled Greek Chicken Kebabs. Article, recipes, and photos by Ashley Strickland Freeman
I’m a busy mom, so anytime I can make something that requires little prep and most of all, little cleanup, I’m game. With school and soccer practice starting back up, I like to have some all-in-one recipes in my back pocket, especially easy weeknight bbq dinners.
One of my favorite summer scents is a steak or hamburgers cooking on the grill, but that aroma gets even better when you add some vegetables to the mix and grill the entire meal. Plus, the kitchen stays cool, there are no spatters around the stove, and the family gets to spend time outside together.
With all that in mind, I’ve got three new weeknight bbq recipes that’ll help end the midweek dinner madness, no matter how hectic your days may be.
Jump ahead to:
Note: The Yummly Meal Planner is available to paid subscribers.
5 tips and tricks: How to make easy weeknight grill recipes
Here are my best tips for making weeknight grilling as easy as can be.
1. Make it a main dish and side dish in one
For a stress-free weeknight barbecue, I like to cook the entire meal on the grill. Marinated meat plus grill-friendly veggies like grilled corn on the cob, zucchini, green or red peppers, and even sweet potatoes will fill those bellies, minus the sink full of pots and pans from cooking a traditional dinner in the kitchen. Foil packets where the meat and vegetables steam together on the grill are also a great option. I love making shish kebabs too, threading my favorite meat and vegetables onto skewers for the easiest weeknight grilling of all.
2. Maximize your marinade
When making a marinade from scratch, I follow this equation: acid + seasonings + oil. Acidic ingredients like balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, lime juice, and even wine help to tenderize the meat. For seasonings, of course there’s salt and pepper and any other spice or herb you’re in the mood for. Cumin and chipotle chili powder are great for adding a smoky flavor to Mexican dishes. I also love adding fresh herbs like oregano, cilantro, or parsley to my marinades for a punch of flavor.
Finally, oil holds everything together and transfers the flavors you’ve stirred up into whatever you’re marinating. For dishes that require a little longer time on the grill, I opt for a high-heat oil like vegetable oil. If your weeknight grill recipes are based on vegetables or lean protein (like seafood or chicken), olive oil will work just fine since the cook times for those dishes tend to be shorter.
3. Don’t forget store-bought sauces and seasonings
In the recipes that follow, I’m sharing from-scratch recipes that come together fast, but I did work in some short-cuts that shave off time, including store-bought hummus, tzatziki, and flatbreads.
On nights where I don’t have time to throw together a quick marinade or assemble kebabs, I rely even more on the many convenience items from the grocery store. Chicken breasts or pork chops sprinkled with a little salt and pepper are great grilled and served with barbecue sauce or store-bought chimichurri or pesto. Pair the protein with potatoes wrapped in aluminum foil and grilled alongside the meat, plus grilled zucchini or asparagus, and you’ve got flexible ideas for easy weeknight bbq dinners.
If you’re in the mood for Mexican food, sprinkle taco seasoning on skirt steak, flank steak, or chicken breasts and add that to the grill along with bell peppers and onions. Slice and serve on tortillas with store-bought salsa and guacamole.
4. Soak those skewers
Speaking of kebabs, either metal or wooden skewers work great, but just remember that if you’re using wooden skewers, you’ll want to soak them in water at least 30 minutes so they don’t burn to a crisp on the grill.
5. Start with a clean grill grate
Smoky flavor from the grill: mmm. Smoky food stuck to the grill: ack! Whether you use a gas grill or a charcoal grill, be sure the grill grate is nice and clean before you start cooking so the food won’t stick. I make sure to preheat the grill grates and get them super clean by rubbing them with a wire grill brush or the cut side of half of a yellow or red onion. (Combined with the high heat, the juices from the onion help to remove any stuck-on bits — and they also smell really nice).
3 weeknight grilling recipes
What are some easy weeknight bbq recipes, you might wonder? Now that you know some of my secrets for easy weeknight meals on the grill, here are the three new weeknight grill recipes that I created to take you way beyond hamburgers and hot dogs.
Greek chicken kebabs
Whether you call them kabobs or kebabs, these grilled chicken skewers with veggies will hit the spot. A simple marinade of lemon juice, garlic, and fresh herbs — oregano, to be exact — keeps the chicken juicy and bursting with flavor.
There are several grilling secrets for great kebabs. First, remember to soak your wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes (if you’re not using metal skewers). The second is to make sure that the chicken and vegetables are cut into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly. I also like using boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts because of their higher fat content. This ensures that the grilled chicken remains juicy.
Finally, don’t go overboard on your marinating time. For this recipe, you want to stay within the 30-minute to 2-hour range so the meat stays tender. Longer, and the acid from the lemon juice will actually end up “cooking” the chicken and will make it tough.
Balsamic grilled flank steak and veggies
If you don’t feel like threading meat and veggies onto skewers, then this next recipe may be just the weeknight bbq recipe you’re looking for. My all-in-one marinade is perfect for adding delicious umami flavor to flank steak, portobello mushrooms, and red pepper. I even save some to brush onto grilled corn.
The trick is to allow ample time for the flank steak and veggies to hang out in the marinade.
You’ll want to put this together the night before or morning of, because the sugars from the balsamic vinegar as well as the brown sugar help caramelize the flank steak and vegetables as they grill. You'll also get more flavor — so longer they have to soak in the marinade, the better.
Grilled Mediterranean flatbread
Finally, if you’re looking for healthy weeknight grill recipes, this easy vegetarian flatbread is perfect. Topped with grilled halloumi cheese, grilled zucchini and red onion, baby arugula, tomatoes, olives, and a super simple vinaigrette, it’s a complete, satisfying summer dinner.
This recipe is especially great when I’m in a hurry. Thanks to prepared flatbreads and hummus, it comes together in a snap. I use the hummus to make a quick vinaigrette bursting with all of the Mediterranean flavors I love. Onto the grill go the flatbreads, zucchini planks, red onion slices, and halloumi cheese to get kissed by the heat. If you’re unfamiliar with halloumi, it’s a cheese that holds up on the grill, soaking in all that great smoky flavor. But don’t worry if you can’t find halloumi; feta cheese (not grilled) works great too.
All that’s left to do is pile the veggies along with arugula, tomato wedges, and olives on top of the flatbread and drizzle with the hummus vinaigrette. That’s it! An easy weeknight meal ready in a flash.

Wrigley halts production of caffeine gum
Wrigley’s paused the production, sale and marketing of its new Alert Energy Caffeine Gum over FDA concerns about its impact on children.
|Report an Error|
Share via Email
Wrigley temporarily halted production of its new Alert Energy Caffeine Gum in response to concerns expressed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration over the impact of caffeine on children and adolescents.
The company said it had paused the production, sale and marketing of Alert to give the FDA time to develop a new regulatory framework for the addition of caffeine to food and drinks.
The recently launched gum has about 40 milligrams of caffeine, as much as a half a cup of coffee, in each piece.
“After discussions with the FDA, we have a greater appreciation for its concern about the proliferation of caffeine in the nation’s food supply,” Wrigley North America President Casey Keller said in a statement.
Keller said there was a need for change in the regulatory framework to “better guide” consumers and the industry about the appropriate use of caffeinated products.
The company previously said it marketed the gum as an energy product for adults aged 25 and older, and that it exceeded current regulatory requirements on labelling.
The FDA said last month that it was taking a “fresh look” at the issue in response to the launch of a caffeinated gum, and warned that it would take action “if necessary”.
The FDA did not name Wrigley, owned by privately held Mars Inc, or the gum in its statement.
Wrigley is not the first company to market gum with energizing properties. Mondelez International Inc. sells a line of gums with ingredients such as ginseng, green tea and Vitamin C. Stride Spark sells gum that have Vitamins B6 and B12 added.

This would be the world’s first antidote to the coronavirus, announced the country’s Ministry of Defense.
JERUSALEM (Israel Institute for Biological Research) – Israel announces an antibody that neutralizes coronavirus, even amongst the infected.
The Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR) and the Israeli Ministry of Defense announced that the development phase of an antibody that would be effective in neutralizing SARS-Cov-2, known as the coronavirus, has been completed.
Through its Twitter account, the Israeli Ministry of Defense confirmed the development of what could become the first antidote to covid-19.
In the past two days, the Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR), has completed a groundbreaking scientific development, determining an antibody that neutralizes the corona virus (SARS-COV-2) 1/3— Ministry of Defense (@Israel_MOD) May 5, 2020
According to the entities, now the antidote passes from the development phase to the acceptance phase of the pharmaceutical companies, which would allow it to be mass-produced and commercialized.
The scientific development would be made up of a few proteins that are harmful to the human body and has already been tested on patients with risky cases of coronavirus.
3 key parameters:— Ministry of Defense (@Israel_MOD) May 5, 2020
1. The antibody is monoclonal, new and refined, and contains an exceptionally low proportion of harmful proteins
2. The antibody is able to neutralize the corona virus
3. The antibody was specifically tested on the aggressive corona virus 2/3
Israel claim that the IIBR is the first institution to achieve a scientific breakthrough that meets all three parameters:
1. A new and refined monoclonal antibody containing a deficient proportion of harmful proteins
2. The antibody can neutralize the coronavirus
3. The antibody was explicitly tested in aggressive cases of coronavirus
In the meantime, the Government of Israel announced the complete removal of mobility restrictions imposed on citizens.
