Time and time again, you hear the infamous feud between the west coast and the east coast. “West coast has better rap/hip hop! ” “No! East coast does!” “West coast has better hardcore!” “No! East coast does.” Well, whenever a west coast hardcore band comes to the east coast (and vice versa), they always want the opposite coast to step up and prove them wrong. April 15th, 2016, Long Island had to prove that we have a stable hardcore scene to some west coast legends at our very own Amityville Music Hall. Opening the show was NYC Headhunters, who started the hardcore/punk feel of the night with fast songs that are under 2 minutes long, with a typical old school punk feel to them. Following was Barge, who have been on the rise in recent years, and they maintained the hardcore/punk feel, with a slight hint of power violence (though, some may argue otherwise). After Barge was Black Anvil, who brought the black metal/misanthropic atmosphere to the show. Although Black Anvil were sort of the odd band out, that doesn’t take away from how great the rest of the show was. In fact, it was a good idea to add some diversity to the label. Concluding the night was one of the most misanthropic, realest, scariest hardcore/punk/metal bands in recent times, NAILS. Debuting their first ever Long Island show, they threw a wave of hate and anger towards the crowd, and the crowd responded accordingly; there was plenty of chaos within the crowd, which to some, could be a good stress relieving mechanism. We hope NAILS come back to Long Island down the line, because this show took 5 or 6 years to finally happen, and it would be a shame if we had to wait another 5 or 6 years to see them here again. Enjoy the photos below!

"In the middle of getting changed to stage clothes there's normally a moment I just wear pants. So I just do some sort of strange dancing in my pants. I find that lets my inhibitions go and I can go out (on stage). If you don't mind dancing in a silly way in underwear, you probably won't mind going out performing."

Geetika case: HC orders probe into claim of parents of accused
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday asked the Crime Branch of the city police to probe allegations made by the parents of an absconding co-accused in air hostess Geetika Sharma suicide case.
The parents of Chand Shivroop Singh, who has allegedly fled to the US, have they have been "pressurised" to lodge false cases against former former Haryana minister Gopal Goyal Kanda ó the prime accused in the case ó and his family members.
Shivroop, who was granted bail as a bailable provision of the IT Act was invoked against him, had later allegedly consented to become an approver by recording his statements against Kanda and another co-accused, Aruna Chaddah. When Shivroop did not appear before the trial court on November 30 last year, the police claimed he had fled to the US with connivance of Kanda to save him.
Shivproop's parents Harminder Singh and Gurmeet Kaur and his brother Ikroop Singh had recently moved the high court alleging that the police have been asking them to implicate Kanda and his family. "The son of the petitioner parents cannot go outside India because police has confiscated the passport of their son," the plea, filed through lawyer S S Tiwana, said. It also alleged the Bharat Nagar police station SHO was "pressurising and inducing" them to make false complaints.
Geetika, 23, was found dead on August 5, last year at her residence here. In her suicide note, she had said she was ending her life due to "harassment" by Kanda and Chaddah.

Chance Sisco has absorbed the usual punishment as a catcher. The foul tips, the backswings, the collisions. No one is immune to it if their chosen profession involves squatting behind home plate.
But the sixth inning. What in the world was going on in the sixth inning?
The Red Sox sent 12 batters to the plate Sunday afternoon and scored six runs. They also sent Sisco to the trainers’ room, the second unfortunate incident thrashing the highest pain threshold. There was no way to withstand it.
Sisco remained in the game after Sam Travis slammed into his left shoulder as he reached for a high relay throw from Jonathan Villar. The ball carried Sisco into Travis’ path, there was no attempt to slide and the young catcher crumbled to the dirt.
It felt like a day at the beach compared to what happened next.
Xander Bogaerts fouled a ball directly behind him and between Sisco’s legs - pretty much the nightmare of every catcher in the sport. Sisco stayed down, his fingers clutching the mask that covered his face, squeezing it tightly while emanating sounds that set off sympathy alarms throughout the dugout.
Sisco finally rose to his knees as fans at Fenway Park applauded. Then he made the slow walk to the clubhouse with head athletic trainer Brian Ebel, who had to wonder how the inning turned so violently against Sisco.
So did the former second-round draft pick, who sat out Monday night’s game and returned to the lineup last night.
“I’ve never had an inning like that before,” he said yesterday. “Obviously, you get foul tips and stuff, but nothing like the collision and then that type of foul tip right after that, so it was kind of crazy. All within a couple of batters and hit me pretty fast.”
A doctor cleared Sisco to play. The shoulder and neck were fine after Travis clipped him. Everything was OK, which allowed the Orioles to send back Austin Wynns after putting him on the taxi squad.
“Everything checked out,” Sisco said. “Even after that one, it was the second injury that was hurting worse. Went and got everything checked out and I’m good to go.”
It’s easier for Sisco to replay the collision. He doesn’t know whether the ball was deflected by Chris Davis, who tried to cut it off. But he’s certain that he dodged a serious injury while unable to avoid Travis.
“I don’t know if (Davis) tipped it or not, but it was on the other side of the baseline and I was trying to go after it,” Sisco said. “I thought he was going to slide, so I just kept going, I guess, and we just ran into each other. It was just a freak thing. I don’t think it was anyone’s fault. Just something that happens.
“Very lucky. With both of them very lucky, I guess. That’s all you can really say is luck was on my side that day. Even though they both hurt real bad, I don’t have anything lingering from it.”
The four-leaf clover he’s carrying should come with a warning label.
Comparing the level of pain between the two mishaps is like comparing apples to Orange County.
“Second one was far worse. Absolutely,” he said with a laugh.
Sisco’s been hit in that area in the past because, well, he’s a catcher and it’s impossible to avoid. But the Bogaerts incident, as it will be known in history books for future generations to study, exceeded anything he’s felt.
“By far the worst,” he said. “I had one my first year of catching in high school where I came out of the game, but it was like a winter ball game or something where I went back in an inning or two later and I was fine. But that one was by far the worst I’ve ever had in my life.”
Manager Brandon Hyde noted how the humor builds as the pain fades. There’s nothing funny at the exact moment that the player is in agony and perhaps headed to the hospital - Caleb Joseph underwent a surgical procedure three years ago - but the laughs and quips come later.
They’re just put on hold. Like anything in comedy, it’s all in the timing.
“Oh yeah, I got plenty of texts and people making jokes about it,” Sisco said. “It’s all good now. It’s funny after the fact. Definitely not at the time, but now it’s kind of a little running joke.”
At least he can still run.
With the conversation turning personal, it should be reported that Sisco has switched to the same Kevlar cup that Joseph wears.
“I’ve already got one now. See if that one helps,” Sisco said.
“I don’t know though. The cup did its job. It wasn’t anything with that. It’s just the pure force of what happened. The cup didn’t break and nothing else is broken, so it did its job.”
Sisco laughs again. The statute of limitations has passed and a shot to the groin is fair game.
Last night’s game passed without incident. Sisco caught starter Dylan Bundy and two relievers in a 4-1 win. He wasn’t scared or the least bit apprehensive.
Put on the gear, the old and the new, and focus on the job.
“You kind of have to,” he said. “It’s like a foul ball off the mask. It’s something that happens and you try to forget about it.
“If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen. There’s nothing I can do to stop it.”


There is a new YouGov poll published in today’s Sun newspaper showing Labour’s lead over the Conservatives being cut to just 4%:
Changes shown are compared to the last daily YouGov poll I reported on 20 March.
This is the first post-Budget poll and Labour should be concerned at their seeming inability to open up a decent lead over the Conservatives. It seems that the public are unconvinced by Ed Miliband and his senior team, and their lack of any positive alternative to government policies. The Conservatives were certainly braced to be substantially behind Labour by now and it is encouraging to note that the public seem to be accepting the argument that government action to tackle the deficit was necessary.
I have received some interesting intelligence on the Reading Labour party which I will post shortly when I have confirmed it with other sources.
Readers will be aware that I broke the story that under Labour the local Council Tax payer had been ‘secretly’ funding three full time Trades Union posts for many years to the tune of £1.4m. When this was revealed it caused outrage across the town and I still have local people contacting me to express their surprise and outrage that Council Tax should have been used to fund the same Trades Unions which then fund the local and national Labour party.
The Conservative / Lib Dem Coalition Council has decided to stop this use of public money and it has undoubtedly become an issue in the approaching local elections. You would have thought that Labour would have wished to let the matter die down, since it is clearly one which will not be winning them any new votes. However, the instinct in the local Labour Party to try to smear and undermine their opponents rather than defend their position politically, is clearly undimmed. Rather than argue the case for funding full-time Trade Union officials from the public purse the Labour Leader decided to try to smear me as “far right” and refer my blog article to the Council’s Standards Panel, which can rule on breaches of the Members’ Code of Conduct.
I am delighted therefore that when the all-party sub-committee of the Standards Panel looked at Labour’s complaint that I had breached the Code of Conduct, they found that my blog article “had not breached the Code of Conduct” and that “no action be taken” on Labour’s “allegation”. However, they expressed the view that my description of the funding of the three posts as having been kept ”secret” was “misleading and inaccurate because the facilities agreement was not a ‘secret’”. The problem with the Standards process at this stage is that the person being accused has no right of attending to argue their case or debate the view of the sub-committee. That only comes if the matter is referred to the full Panel by the sub-committee. I was therefore unable to argue the point that an agreement which was signed in 1998 under Labour’s rule; not raised in any committee or panel that anyone has been able to find, since then; which is not available on the Council Website; and which pre-dates all but two Conservative or Lib Dem Councillors, could reasonably be described as “secret”.
I have rarely used the Standards process because it is largely ineffective under current legislation and only serves to take up an awful lot of Officer time. However, I did find the Labour Leader’s letter published on Cllr Ennis’s blogsite about Trade Union funding offensive when she described me as holding a “far right perspective”. I therefore asked the Standards committee to rule on whether this constituted a breach of the Members’ Code of Conduct by both Councillors. In an almost identically worded ruling as the one about me, the sub-committee ruled that it did not but they chided the Labour Leader for her use of ”emotive” language and requested that she and Cllr Ennis remove the accusation from his blogsite.
It is typical of Labour that rather than defend their own stance or attack an opposition policy position they prefer to attack or smear an individual. We have seen it time after time in Reading and sometimes nationally.
It has been interesting to see other authorities tackling the issue of full-time Union officials being funded from Council Tax and the Government has now urged local authorities to find savings in this area before they look to close libraries, public toilets and leisure facilities. It is noteworthy that some Labour controlled Councils have chosen to cut local community groups and facilities while continuing to fund full-time posts for their Trade Union buddies.
On 5th May Reading’s voters can chose between Conservative and Lib Dem candidates who believe that the Trades Unions should fund their own officials and that frontline services should be protected, or they can vote for Labour candidates who would prioritise spending Council Tax income on full-time Trades Union posts while closing libraries, voluntary groups and leisure facilities.

On 26 September 2018 in the Russian city of Magas, an agreement was signed on the division of the border between the two regions of the Russian Federation – Chechnya and Ingushetia. After that, a powerful conflict between the two peoples broke out in the region. (Meduza)
To understand the essence of this event, it is important to point out the prescription of this land dispute between the two fraternal peoples. It is not accidental. During the Soviet era, this Islamic land was divided with the seeds of nationalism. This is how Chechen-Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia appeared. And when the Soviet Union collapsed from the Chechen-Ingush Republic, two regions appeared: Chechnya and Ingushetia. Although this is actually one people who speak the same language, their difference is that they are different sons of the same mother.
During 10 years, two wars against Russia passed in Chechnya. Ingushetia was naturally also drawn into this war, since these are fraternal peoples and neighboring houses. Russia managed to defeat this small-numbered people only at the second attempt, and only at the cost of great blood. And because until recently, the main issue in the region was the recovery from those wars. The people tried to forget that horror, and the authorities tried to show their best, creating an image of well-being.
Therefore, for a long time, the uncertainty of the borders between the regions practically did not bother anyone. After all, the owners of these lands have been known for centuries; everyone knows what kind of land belongs to this or that clan.
But at the beginning of August 2018 in the Caucasus the thunder, which shook the walls of the Kremlin, rumbled. Yusup Temerkhanov, who was serving a sentence for the murder of Russian colonel Budanov, died in prison. In 2000, this Russian colonel raped, murdered and abused the body of a Chechen girl Elsa Kungaeva. Therefore, Yusup Temerkhanov was a hero among his people. And when he died in prison, having undergone tortures and harsh conditions of imprisonment, all the peoples of the Caucasus gathered on August 5 in the capital of Chechnya, Grozny, in order to conduct the person who represented retribution to the Russian troops in the last way.
And the authorities were seriously frightened when they saw 200 thousand Muslims of different nationalities from the Caucasus regions, together giving Takbir to Allah. This fear of the invasion of Islam on 27 September was voiced by General Matovnikov, a Russian President’s Plenipotentiary Representative in the Caucasus. He said: “We are witnessing a marked increase in the number of people who came to Islam from other religions.”
Bachurin, a head of the Central Caucasus Directorate of Internal Affairs, said: “New believers become the most motivated and fanatical supporters of extremist and terrorist ideologies. In the first half of 2018 alone, 1,058 neophytes were established. This is a large part of citizens, and they should not be indifferent to us”.
Hence, it becomes clear that it is the authorities that resort to dirty methods of pitting peoples against each other in a multinational region in order to keep the people from thinking about the most important issues. These issues are the revival of the Islamic way of life and the position of Russian power over Muslims. The rulers tried to prevent such a dramatic warming of relations between the peoples of the region and their desire for Islam, and started their machinations.
So they initiated this controversial land agreement. And the situation began to heat up in the region. The head of the district, whose part of the land became part of Chechnya, resigned. Together with him, several deputies of the local assembly resigned. There have been arrests and searches of active opponents of this agreement. And all this is happening against the background of the fact that the text of the agreement has not yet been published. That is, the government deliberately keeps people in ignorance, pushing them to distrust and enmity. Social networks are boiling against national attacks. And many already fear bloodshed.
In addition to this land dispute, there was another very big conflict between the Ingush and the Chechens in the Caucasus. On 19 September, mass clashes took place in Kabardino-Balkaria, where hundreds of people participated in the inter-ethnic fights. The cause of this conflict was the equestrian march on the occasion of the celebration of the victory over the troops of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1708. The same fraternal peoples of the Muslims – Kabardians and Balkars clashed in this provocation, supported by the authorities. To pacify this unrest came the police of other nationalities from the neighboring republics, the Ossetians and the Ingush.
Tenov, a professor of sociology at the Kabardino-Balkarian University, commented on these events: “5-6 years ago, the development of Islam was observed in our region. And it was obvious how the authorities oppose this to the ethnic factor … ” (Gazeta Vzlyad, September 20, 2018).
This is only the most known of what the authorities are doing to set peoples of the Caucasus on each other. In their fear of spreading Islam, they resort to baseness, which is nationalism. They want bloodshed to judge these conflicts. They want to force Muslims to seek a solution addressing only to them.
But Islam never comes into the hearts of people so that it does not reflect in their behavior. We see that the Islamic appeal sounds stronger. In all the controversial disputes around these conflicts, there is always someone who points to the prohibition of nationalism. People are increasingly pointing to the true sources of these misfortunes and understand that the enemy wants disunity.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ
“Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves”.

Inhaltsangabe: The Trial of God (as it was held on February 25, 1649, in Shamgorod)
A Play by Elie Wiesel
Translated by Marion Wiesel
Introduction by Robert McAfee Brown
Afterword by Matthew Fox
Where is God when innocent human beings suffer? This drama lays bare the most vexing questions confronting the moral imagination.
Set in a Ukranian village in the year 1649, this haunting play takes place in the aftermath of a pogrom. Only two Jews, Berish the innkeeper and his daughter Hannah, have survived the brutal Cossack raids. When three itinerant actors arrive in town to perform a Purim play, Berish demands that they stage a mock trial of God instead, indicting Him for His silence in the face of evil. Berish, a latter-day Job, is ready to take on the role of prosecutor. But who will defend God? A mysterious stranger named Sam, who seems oddly familiar to everyone present, shows up just in time to volunteer.
The idea for this play came from an event that Elie Wiesel witnessed as a boy in Auschwitz: “Three rabbis—all erudite and pious men—decided one evening to indict God for allowing His children to be massacred. I remember: I was there, and I felt like crying. But there nobody cried.”
Inspired and challenged by this play, Christian theologians Robert McAfee Brown and Matthew Fox, in a new Introduction and Afterword, join Elie Wiesel in the search for faith in a world where God is silent.

A 31-year-old man was arrested for outrage of modesty and rash act causing hurt after he was caught on video knocking out a bystander and running away.
The incident happened at Toa Payoh Central on Monday evening (June 19).
TikTok user Garett caught the incident on video and shared the clip with Stomp after it was taken down.
According to Garett, the rider, who was wearing a Foodpanda shirt and a Deliveroo bag, had used the 'f-word' on a woman who was reportedly blocking his way.
Her male companion then chased him down but he was stopped by an onlooker who grabbed him.
In the video, a man holding a phone to record the incident is heard asking the rider, "Why are you running if you're not wrong?"
The rider replies in Malay, "I've got work to do!"
He then calls the man holding him 'stupid, dips*** motherf***er' which aggravates the man and makes him pin the rider against a pillar.
The rider then knees the man in the face causing him to fall backwards and lie motionless on the ground for a few seconds.
The rider then takes off with others chasing after him and shouting at him, 'don't run'.
The man on the ground then tells other bystanders that he is okay and gives the thumbs-up before an ambulance is called.
In response to a Stomp query, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told Stomp they received a call for assistance at Block 184 Toa Payoh Central at about 7.30pm.
SCDF assessed a person for minor injuries but the person declined to be sent to hospital.
The police told Stomp that they received a call for assistance at 7.25pm.
"A 31-year-old man was subsequently arrested for outrage of modesty and rash act causing hurt," a police spokesman said.
Police investigations are ongoing.

I was just straightening up the showroom when I was stopped dead in my tracks by the gorgeous honey-hued highlights in a Walnut Moro cabinet. The wild play of lights and darks and swirling grain pattern of our natural wood furniture makes me drool (and wish for a really good hair-colorist). The look isn’t for everyone, there’s a lot of variation and unique character to each individual piece, but I think that adds a level of depth that simply cannot be achieved with a perfectly uniform stain. Even our stains are sheer enough to subtly reveal the quality of the material beneath. A little grain beneath the stain lends integrity to a table or bookshelf; it looks like what it’s made of!
Room & Board’s aesthetic is decidedly modern, but we let the natural characteristics of our materials shine. I love that juxtaposition of clean, modern lines and gorgeous natural materials. Adding something earthy into the material mix can give a steely modern room a feeling of stability and rootedness.

Salt rising bread is a bread made from a potato/cornmeal starter which produces the only leavening in the recipe. This is a fickle bread because sometimes the mixture doesnt "take ". It is called salt rising not because of salt content but because the bowl containing the starter was packed or surrounded by salt to keep the bread warm! The recipe is a challenge because of this. Technically it is not a hard bread to make. If your starter doesnt bubble, foam , smell yeasty or unpleasant ( like ripened cheese ) then DONT BOTHER TO CONTNUE WITH THE RECIPE.
If you consult old cookbooks you will find a variety of salt rising recipes. This recipe was passed on by a person who has made delicious successful bread. Ive had great results with this recipe. Please remember one thing: salt rising breads demand constant warmth.So make sure even utensils are warm. The finished bread is most delicious with a texture similar to yeast risen breads. Salt rising breads tend to be heavier and denser than most yeast risen white breads. The bread is excellent toasted.
Now see the separate recipe and tips.

Scenic Design of Mutual Consent by Nancy Bell and Peter Grandbois.
“A merging of two people is an impossibility, and where it seems to exist, it is a hemming-in, a mutual consent that robs one party or both of their fullest freedom and development. But once the realization is accepted that even between the closest people infinite distances exist, a marvelous living side-by-side can grow up for them, if they succeed in loving the expanse between them, which gives them the possibility of always seeing each other as a whole and before an immense sky.” --Rainer Maria Rilke

Food sovereignty events explore indigenous cuisine
The first Food Sovereignty Symposium and Festival in Madison will be March 10 to 12. It focuses on indigenous communities and food sovereignty topics that impact how communities manage their food systems while celebrating indigenous, local and regional foods.
It’s being hosted by the Wisconsin Union Directorate Cuisine, Family Farm Defenders, Intertribal Agricultural Council and the Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems.
The majority of the symposium will be held March 10 to 12 on campus and surrounding areas, and includes panels, lectures, dinners, demonstrations, film screenings and other opportunities to meet chefs and food activists.
Federica Ranelli, director of WUD Cuisine, was initially approached by Dan Cornelius, WUD alumnus and member of the Intertribal Agricultural Council, with the idea to develop the symposium last summer having conducting similar events throughout the last few years.
“The scope and mission of the event fell right into WUD Cuisine’s mission, so we decided to get involved by hosting a few events through the week and sitting on the planning committee,” Ranelli says.
Ranelli emphasized the idea of food sovereignty, that is, the right of people to define their own food systems and have access to food that is healthy, culturally appropriate, and produced in an ecologically sound manner. The movement is prevalent in Madison and many other places across the country and stems from indigenous communities where this mindset towards food is at the core of their culture. Many communities have strived to create food systems that are culturally appropriate, ecologically sound, and sustainable without dependency on other nations comes from indigenous people.
“In Madison specifically, the majority forget that Indigenous foods are this region’s true local foods. UW–Madison was built on stolen Ho Chunk land,” She says. “It’s time that we widely recognize that and listen to those who know this land best to find ways to produce food in harmony with the earth.”
Patty Loew, Bad River Ojibwe member and professor in the Department of Life Sciences Communication, says that indigenous people rely on natural landscapes for hunting, fishing and gathering food. Since the colonization by settlers, the traditional diets have been dramatically altered, causing serious health issues like diabetes and heart disease.
“Many of us are committed to returning to the traditional foods that are physically, culturally, and spiritually nourishing. This is far more complicated than just deciding to eat healthy,” Loew says. “We have entire food systems and natural and human ecologies that have to be restored and protected.”
She suggested that this symposium will be an important opportunity for people who are committed to these principles to share strategies and ideas relating to food sovereignty because “it’s true that we are what we eat, not just physically, but also philosophically.”
In addition to free hands-on activities, three main meals will be served that students can attend for a discounted price.
A Fish Fry on Friday night in The Crossing church features three chefs inspiring the Indigenous food movement (and students pay $5 for a meal ticket). On Saturday morning, a Taste of the Tribes small plates brunch features five chefs and a talk about Food Sovereignty Today by Dr. Elizabeth Hoover. On Saturday night, a Family Farm Defenders Banquet features a keynote speech by Dr. Martin Reinhart about the “decolonize your diet” project.
John Peck, executive director of Family Farm Defenders, says that he hopes the symposium will encourage more people to get active in the food justice community and think about how food sovereignty can influences communities to work together towards better practices.
“This symposium is such a unique opportunity for people to meet with activists and native communities,” Peck says. “It also shows how we can work together to build solitary even across the state.”

text: Universal announced that Straight Outta Compton, a biopic about gangsta rap pioneers NWA, will finally get a release date after years in development. Since the announcement there has been a lot of speculation and questions about what NWA fans and moviegoers can expect, with a main focus on who is set to play the group member roles. It was initially reported that Eric Wright Jr, the son of NWA rapper Eazy-E was unhappy not to have been cast in his fathers role, as the task has since been handed over to up coming actor Jason Mitchell. The roles of Dr Dre and Cube have also been filled since director F. Gary Gray (Friday, Set It Off, The Italian Job) held an open casting call for the film back in April. Ice Cube’s son O’Shea Jackson Jr, is slated to play the role of his dad, with Corey Hawkins, who had a bit part in Iron Man 3, playing rapper/producer Dr Dre. The roles of MC Ren and DJ Yella are yet to be cast.

Throughout history, cultural exchange has been one of the most important means of promoting relations between Egypt and China. Not only the old Silk Road was a vehicle for trade between the two countries, but it also played a cultural role in connecting them in old times. Cleopatra’s clothes were weaved of Chinese silk. In Roman times, the textile factories in Alexandria were using Chinese silk. The Chinese porcelain pots were the second largest of China's exports to Egypt after silk. At present, cultural exchange has replaced the Silk Road in cementing friendship and understanding between the two peoples.
- In 1931, first Chinese scholastic mission came to Egypt to study at al-Azhar.
- In 1932, a Royal Edict was signed by King Fouad I of Egypt establishing a special section for Chinese students at al-Azhar. He also presented a gift of 400 copies of the most valuable religious publications to China's Islamic School of Chengdu. Two Azhar scholars were also sent to the school to improve the standard of education provided to students in China.
- In the period from 1932 to 1941, Egyptian researchers in the various fields visited China establishing links with the scientific and educational community there. This proved a solid foundation for cultural ties between the two countries after diplomatic ties were formalized in 1956.
- In 1956, Egypt sent its first educational mission to China. In the same year the Egyptian-Chinese Friendship Association was founded.
- On July 21, 2002, an Egyptian cultural and historical week was held in China's International Park in Beijing; Egypt was also included on the list of the most favored tourist sites for the Chinese people.

"Combine artistic perfection, creativity, customization, efficiency, great communication and value with the fastest turn-around from order placement and you'll have the best investment and experience resulting in jewelry that touches your heart and soul. Don't hesitate. PicturesOnGold - thank you. I plan on wearing this religious medal forever."

"I am so excited and pleased with the new corrected photo engraved dog tag I received today!! It is absolutely beautiful, crystal clear and vibrant colors.
As I told you when I placed my order, my son is deploying to Iraq in January and requested 'military' items for Christmas. I thought, what would be more appropriate than an engraved dog tag of the two women he loves most; his mother and his brand new wife who is also deploying in January to Kuwait.
When I got the first dog tag, I was disappointed when I found a mistake, but you were wonderfully understanding when I phoned. You informed me to send it back to be re-done, and you turned it back around to me in less than one week. That is exemplary and commendable customer service, especially with the holiday rush.
Feel free to use my comments on your site if you wish, and also the two pictures and how they were merged together to make it appear as though we were together in one photo. I will highly recommend PicturesOnGold.com !!"

"I just receive the St. Florian medal I had ordered. When you say one day shipping you are not kidding. I ordered this on Wednesday morning 12/21 and it was delivered on Thursday 12/22. The medal is absolutely beautiful. I had this done in Sterling Silver and when I opened the box I was totally blown away. Everything from the engraving to the medal itself is just magnificent. I have a firefighter friend that I am giving this medal to for Christmas. I know he will absolutely love it. Thank you so much for the service as well as the beautiful medal. Happy holidays to all of you."
"I have ordered a number of items from Picturesongold and have been pleased. In one instance, there was an error with my order but they graciously corrected the mistake and did so in a timely manner. They have an item that I love--the Rembrandt police charm. I hope they continue to carry this item and continue to show their support for public safety. I will continue to purchase from this establishment and encourage others to do the same"
"I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT DAN SCHIFTER AND HIS COMPANY. HE DOES OUTSTANDING WORK. YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE MORE THAN SURPRISED BY HIS ARTISTRY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY ARE A 10 IN MY BOOK!!

"I received my Pictures On Gold pendant engraved with a photo of my brother and me, and I have been wearing it for a week. I can truly say it is a beautiful and classy piece of jewelry! Several people who saw it were moved to tears, some who knew my brother and some who did not. Pictures On Gold merged an old photo and a newer photo of my brother to correct a problem with the older photo. Both gentlemen I spoke with and emailed were friendly, fast and efficient! Im glad I choose a photo proof since my photo was old and blurry. Now I have a beautiful and unique piece of jewelry to wear in honor of my brother, the sweetest little spirit Ive ever known! Thanks Pictures On Gold! Jenn"
"Thank you for a nice product. My wife loves it!!!"
"Usually these comments are about the product, but I wanted to write about your customer service.
My outlined picture charm came and I was not satisfied but the customer service I received was EXCELLENT!
I cannot believe how simple it was to discuss my issues and how quickly PicturesOnGold handled them.
I choose not to keep the charm but I have reordered something else - and cannot wait to get it.
They stand by their products and refund policy!"
"I was very happy with the quality of the charm I ordered even though I ordered at the last minute."

1. Explore the neighborhood you live in and don’t only stay on Nevsky Prospect. While there are many incredible things to see along Nevsky Prospect, the main drag, staying off Nevsky will allow you to see other attractions without the crowds of foreign and domestic tourists as well as helping to improve your Russian, as one is less likely to find English speakers further away from Nevsky.
2. Start trying to speak Russian as much as possible early on. While the prospect of avoiding English appears daunting and sometimes frustrating, you will notice that your Russian will improve rapidly and soon you will be able to express yourself more fully without having to resort to English or on the spot translations.
3. Come up with a realistic, achievable list of places to visit in St. Petersburg in the first few weeks and try to fit at least one in a week. Four months appears long on paper, but it will pass by rapidly. Don’t consistently walk past places that look interesting and think “I’ll go there next week…” Next week will become next month and so on, then you’ll notice there are so many places to visit and no time to visit them.
4. Resist the urge to spend hours every day on English language websites to get the daily news or entertainment. Watch the news in Russian and watch Russian TV shows. Reading news articles in Russian will exponentially expand your vocabulary along with allowing you to see your country in the news from a foreign perspective. Want to learn about Russian humor or just improve your intonation and pronunciation? Watch Russian TV.
5. Explore the Suburbs of St. Petersburg. It’s true that four months or even a year is a short amount of time to really experience all the city has to offer, don’t overlook the equally impressive suburbs which are home to extremely important historical places, especially the Catherine Palace in Tsarskoye Tselo, which is a short train or bus ride from Petersburg.
6. Go on all the excursions included in the program. Although you will be required to attend a set number of excursions as part of the program, I recommend going on all of them. The first reason is fairly compelling: you paid for it! Furthermore, many of the excursions will take you to places that you otherwise would likely not know about on your own or are difficult to access without prior planning. Also, it’s a great way to socialize with a group of friends and fellow students and RD’s while improving your Russian in a more comfortable environment than on the street. Did I mention you paid for them?
7. If you want to make Russian friends, then speak with Russians! When you are out on town with your friends, try to go up and talk to Russians that are your age, and while it can be intimidating at first to “break the cultural ice” most Russians are happy to see a foreigner taking enough interest in their country to have moved here to study Russian. Obviously one should exercise discretion regarding speaking with strangers, but that is no more of an issue here than in any other country. Speaking with them will teach you many cool slang words that your professors won’t and they can be great sources of information regarding cool things to do in St. Petersburg.
8. Don’t compare your level of Russian with native speakers. Russian is an inherently challenging language to learn, so do not make it harder mentally by thinking that your Russian is weak because all these native speakers are speaking faster and more articulately. This unfair, and unnecessary, comparison can cause students to “check out” and figure learning Russian is impossible. Instead of that, set small, specific, and achievable goals for yourself in the language every day and compete against yourself. Nobody, and especially not your teachers or peers, expects you to become fluent in Russian overnight. If it were that simple, more people would speak Russian. Take pride in the fact that you are studying a difficult, but entirely learnable, language that few other people outside of the former Soviet Union speak.

As much as there are countries that are blessed to prosper, there are also countries that are considered as third world countries. These countries are those countries who are not that blessed when it comes to economic advancement. These are the countries that have little resources and have minimal abilities in coming up with regards to financial stability. This is the reason why there are philanthropists in our society today.
Philanthropy plays a significant role in our society today. Sometimes Philanthropy is compared to charity, or mistakenly people think it belongs to the same umbrella. Generosity is different from charity because it does not focus on the suffering people experiences but instead focuses on how to eradicate the social problems which cause these sufferings. Most of the known and active philanthropists today are also known in the business world, an example of this is Mr. George Soros.
Born on August 12, 1930, Mr. George Soros is a known business tycoon and philanthropist. He was born in Budapest and considered to be one of the survivors during the Germany Hungarian occupation. In the year 1947, he immigrated to England and finished a degree in Philosophy at the London School of Economics and further finished his master’s degree in the same study. He started to work in the banking industry and later on having to invest in hedge funds, one of his hedge funds was used to start his own fund management business, the Soros Fund Management.
Mr. George Soros also wrote about his views on politics and economics. He talks about markets (economic and financial) and theories revolving around it. Aside from his interests in economics, he also is active in his foundation, the Open Society Foundations.
Mr. George Soros’ success was not just all because of his popular name in the financial industry, but it is also because of his philanthropic works in the Open Society Foundations. Mr. George Soro’s philanthropic interest started in the year 1979, wherein he granted scholarships to Africans in South Africa during the time of apartheid, and from this, he then continued philanthropic works and funding.
The Open Society Foundations he founded is known to be an organization of partnerships and projects for philanthropic purposes. Karl Popper’s philosophy inspired the foundation’s name. The basis revolves around Soros’ belief that a society can only progress if there are democracy, freedom, and respect for every individual. During the year 2017, in December, Soros had gained $8 Billion from his $18 Billion donations to The Open society Foundations.
In an interview with Soros, he said that his financial market success paved the way for his independence. The independence he had earned had given him more opportunities to form his destiny seeing the world is more just, fair, decent and open. Soros’ legacy in the philanthropic world has inspired more people because he had proved his commitment in not fighting the suffering people experience but rather finding solutions to eliminate the significant social problems which contribute to the suffering people feel.

The SH-2G(I) Seasprite has been formally accepted into New Zealand Defence Force service.
A ceremony to mark the milestone was held at RNZAF Base Auckland on Friday, attended by Chief of Navy Rear Admiral Jack Steer, Secretary of Defence Helene Quilter and Kaman Aerospace vice president James Larwood.
New Zealand is acquiring 10 Super Seasprites, designated SH-2G(I) – I for International – to replace its five older SH-2Gs currently in service (and which in turn have been sold to Peru). Eight will be used operationally, while two will be broken down for spare parts.
So far three SH-2G(I)s have been delivered to Auckland, with the remaining five operational aircraft to be delivered by September.
The aircraft were originally built on order for the Royal Australian Navy as the SH-2G(A), before that controversial contract was cancelled in 2008.


January 30, 2008:
Today the Tangaroa, New-Zealand's Antarctic research vessel, departed from Wellington and is heading due south to undertake the New Zealand IPY-CAML project.
New Zealand is conducting a major biological survey of the Ross Sea, in the Antarctic, as part of the Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) and International Polar Year (IPY). Forty four people including 24 scientists and 18 crew will take part in an eight-week voyage aboard RV Tangaroa from January 30th to mid March 2008.
The data collected will provide baseline information from the Southern Ocean and Ross Sea environment that can be used to help monitor the effects of climate change in the Ross Sea region. With a biodiversity focus, the voyage will collect samples of living material from the sea surface to the sea floor, from microscopic to mega-size across a wide range of environmental and geographic gradients. This includes collecting biological samples and capturing images of the sea floor down to depths of 4000m, in unexplored areas. The results will feed into New Zealand’s marine research programme in the Ross Sea region, and will support our commitment to improving sustainable management of the toothfish fishery. This provides important information to the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) which is part of the Antarctic Treaty System. The voyage also has strong links with other key research programmes including International Polar Year (IPY), Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML), (part of the Census of Marine Life (CoML)) and New Zealand’s Oceans Survey 20/20.
From February until mid-March 2008, New Zealand scientists are embarking on an eight-week voyage to the Ross Sea to survey the marine environment and explore the variety of life forms (biodiversity) in the region. This is part of the Census of Antarctic Marine Life and scientists on board will also contribute to the NZ Science Learning Hub for teachers and students. Follow all CAML expeditions routes on the CAML-Cousteau Expedition tracking page.

An interesting graphic compiled by Deutsche Bank compares the early-stage evolution of the Internet and blockchain technology. It shows that the two have relatively similar difficult beginnings, but ultimately the former receives more mass adoption than the latter.
Internet Vs. Blockchain Adoption Rates
Nowadays, it’s hard to imagine living a normal life without constant access to the world wide web. The Internet was one of the most disruptive and ingenious creations of the 20th century.
Blockchain, on the other hand, has been touted as similarly disruptive and intelligent technology in the 21st century by many. Deutsche Bank recently published a graphic that shows how the two have started, the middle ground, and the projected future adoption. On the left, one can see the number of internet users in millions and on the right – the number of blockchain wallet users (again, in millions).
The graphic indicates that both had a sluggish start, particularly in the first few years. It reveals that after eight years of existence, the Internet was at around 500 million users, while during the same timeframe, blockchain is at approximately 50 million. This whole 10x difference is projected along the entire graph.
The Internet also required less than 25 years to reach over four billion people around the world. Deutsche Bank’s forecast for blockchain mass adoption suggests that after a quarter of a century, it will be used by around 350 million.
Even though the Internet appears way more dominant, Changpeng Zhao recently offered a different opinion. The CEO of the largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, Binance, said that “blockchain is going to have a bigger impact on our society than the internet.”
Despite the Internet’s undeniable impact on the world, it had a difficult initial period of adoption. The history books reveal that it was created somewhere in the 1960s in a widely different form of what it is today. However, it wasn’t until the late 80s and early 90s before it started gaining adoption in Europe, Australia, and eventually Asia.
But even after so many years of existence in some forms, it was expensive to use and frequently unreliable. The largest U.S. internet provider in the 90s charged $9.95/month for 5 hours of unlimited access, and every additional hour cost $2.95.
With all improvements such as the introduction of DSL, 3G, 4G, etc, the Internet became a much better version of itself in the next two decades. A recent report reveals that today’s speed is 136 faster than what it was back then. Moreover, internet access is over 90% cheaper.
How what does this have to do with blockchain? Well, simply put, the latter is at its primary stages, where the promise of its future developments and disruptions is more significant than its actual usage, at least according to some non-believers. Similarly, there’re challenges with costs and scalability that ultimately prevent it from mass adoption.
With that being said, blockchain has come a long way for its relatively short period of existence. Users can safely assume that the improvements will continue with cost reductions, more scalability, and faster transactions.

How to Play Online Poker
When you play poker online, the game takes place on a virtual table displayed on your computer screen. Players make betting decisions with the click of a button and there is no wait for a dealer to shuffle and collect discards (known as the muck). You can play online for free, or you can buy in for cash and tournament tickets. Regardless of your stakes, online poker is fast and convenient, and you can access it from any computer or mobile device.
The first step in playing poker online is signing up for an account with a reputable site. Ensure that the casino you’re considering is regulated by a gaming commission, uses software that has been vetted by a third party and offers a safe environment for depositing and withdrawals. Look for the number of banking methods available, minimum and maximum amounts you can withdraw and whether there are any fees per transaction.
Some players will also use software to track their results or that of their competition. This can help them spot trends in the game and learn what works and what doesn’t. The best online poker sites have built-in hand history tracking, which allows you to see how your play and that of your opponents compares over time.
Another popular aspect of online poker is playing with friends. Many poker sites allow players to create private games and invite friends over, so you can play together no matter where they live. Some even offer a chat feature so you can catch up with each other while you’re playing.
Lastly, it’s important to be aware of the rules and etiquette of online poker. Be sure to avoid blabbing to other players, confusing them by hiding your chips, or interfering with the game. Observing these unwritten rules can help you become a better player.
Online poker has been growing steadily in the US, with a number of states making it legal to play for real money. As the market grows, prize pools have exploded, and the industry is predicting more growth in the coming years.
Before you play for real money, it’s a good idea to check out the rules of your state and any specific restrictions that might apply to online poker. You should also research the poker site itself to make sure it’s trustworthy. This includes checking for security protocols, seeing that their software is regularly inspected by a third party, and reading reviews. It’s also a good idea to play on secure Wi-Fi and never share usernames or passwords with other players.

Historically, disparities have actually existed in use of homeownership by low-income and minority households. The facets that form, impede, or facilitate homeownership possibilities of these households were the topic of significant research, including studies commissioned by HUD’s workplace of Policy developing and Research during the early to m 26
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Housing Vacancy Surveys and Active Population Survey, Yearly Social and Economic Supplements. Homeownership prices are greatest for older households, married people, and the ones with increased training. These faculties are associated with influence and income homeownership choices differently across earnings amounts. 27 Homeownership choices are shaped by habits of home development that vary by financial, demographic, and circumstances that are social. Typical factors that affect household development consist of racial and cultural distinctions, age framework associated with the populace, wedding and divorce proceedings habits, typical leaving-home many years, the expense of residing, housing expenses, and located in team quarters for armed forces or educational purposes. 28
Along side earnings, home wealth determines whether families are able down closing and payment expenses and may maintain homeownership after purchase. In a 2004 research commissioned by HUD, minorities and whites at comparable earnings amounts were similarly prone to be property owners, but wealth ended up being a far better predictor of minority change to homeownership. Minority households required higher quantities of wide range to attain the exact same likelihood of homeownership as white households had, all the things being equal.

Why Friends Are the Secret to Your Fitness Success
You may be trying hard to get regular exercise and make healthy food choices, but if you don’t have like-minded friends, this can be pretty tough, according to this article from funkyfashionfitness.com
“For some people working out by themselves can be pretty difficult. I highly recommend finding a workout partner to maximize your program,” exercise physiologist Tom Holland says in his new book Beat the Gym: Personal Trainer Secrets Without the Personal Trainer Price Tag.
According to Holland, workout buddies can help you get bikini-ready in five key ways:
- They provide motivation. The days you don’t want to work out, they will get you out the door. The days they feels like skipping, you will get them to the gym. When you want to give up completely, they will talk you into sticking with your plan.
- They serve as spotters. The bench press. Squats. Your partner can help spot you, keeping your workouts safer yet more challenging at the same time.
- They increase your exercise arsenal. There are numerous strength moves you can do with your partner, like crunches with a medicine ball, partner pushups and leg tosses. These are fun and very effective.
- They provide companionship. Working out can be lonely, especially long cardio sessions. Having a friend next to you to talk with while you slave away on the elliptical can make the time fly by.
- They provide competition. Let’s be honest: We as human beings like to compete with one another. Try finding a workout partner who is just a little fitter, just a little stronger than you are. By trying to keep up with them, you will challenge yourself in ways that you cannot do alone.

Model: Botulinum Neurotoxin Serotype A Endopeptidase Liganded with a Small-Molecule Inhibitor HAB
Botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNTA) causes botulism. Small-molecule inhibitors of BoNTA endopeptidase (BoNTAe) are sought in our laboratories as potential antidotes to antagonize the extracellular or intracellular BoNTA. HAB is one such inhibitor that exhibits nanomolar potency in inhibiting BoNTAe (to be published). Multiple molecular dynamics simulations of HAB•BoNTAe (20 10-ns-long simulations) suggest that one functional group of HAB is highly flexible or intrinsically disordered; the percentages of the top three most-populated conformations of the complex (Models 1-3) are 21%, 13% and 12%, respectively. To evaluate the computational methods used for generating HAB•BoNTAe, the coordinates of the three models were released before the forthcoming crystal structure of HAB•BoNTAe. Only 33% of the heavy atoms of HAB are provided in the released models. The full structure of HAB will be released upon manuscript acceptance.

Posts tagged: xena warrior princess
Xena writer Katherine Fugate re-wrote the ending of Xena so that Xena and Gabrielle get married. played by Lucy Lawless and Renee O’Connor. and then they kissed.
Some things fall apart. Some things make you whole.
How I spent my winter vacation! Or at least part of it. A video that explores Xena’s thoughts on her evil past and Gabrielle’s evolution into a warrior. Set to the song Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.
I know that you Xenites on tumblr are not much for videos, but you should watch! Trust me.
my xena music video protégée. I am so proud.
I love how Gabrielle is such a dork, she cannotttt pull off being evil. she talks about the dark side like it’s a delicious glass of lemonade. gosh, it’s very refreshing! just a little tart! let’s drink some on our picnic tomorrow!
ACTUALLY let’s remember all the times Xena did NOT hold Gabrielle when she cried.
-at the beginning of Bitter Suite when Gabrielle was getting spanked by leaves or whatever… many tears, and Xena was nowhere to be found, and was in fact off plotting the Gab Drag
-To Helicon and Back — when Xena asked Gabrielle if she was okay with leading the Amazons to war, and Gabrielle was at the beginning-stages of tears but resisted them and said she couldn’t really talk to Xena about her feelings because she had to harden herself and make herself ruthless in order to save the Amazons. while this is nobody’s fault, it is a moment when Gabrielle doesn’t allow herself to find comfort in Xena. so heart-breaking.
-at the end of FIN when Gabrielle was watching the sun set and Xena was next to her and then SUDDENLY SHE WAS NOT BECAUSE SHE CHOSE THE REDEMPTION OF 40,000 SOULS TO HOLDING GABRIELLE WHEN SHE CRIED :( :( :(
(no agenda here just highlighting the times when Gabrielle cries and Xena doesn’t hold her are DEVASTATING)
Gabrielle: “It’s easier to believe in yourself after someone else has believed in you first.”
Alti appreciation post! Because frankly I MF loved Alti to no end.
I love the leopard print fur cape thing she has going on in the last one. so unabashedly discomfiting for everyone. Alti = greatest villain of all time, also greatest villain IN MY PANTS if you know what I mean
also OMG THAT TAG “I always wanted to be inside you Xena” ahahahhahahaah

In the case of Chelsey Wright, many are asking why the police won’t take action. There are serious questions, which Amber Rudd, Home Secretary, minister responsible for the police, must answer, such as why the hell they let someone suspected of rape out on bail. However, blame also rests with Jeremy Wright, and Alison Saunders, who are responsible for the Crown Prosecution Service. When Northumbria police presented the CPS evidence so that one of the alleged attackers could be charged, they dismissed it.
When it comes to rape, this case has some of the strongest evidence possible. DNA evidence, proof Rohypnol has been used, and bruising to the body. The only more compelling evidence would be the unlikely, CCTV footage or an outright confession. Any jury would conclude this was blatant rape, but the CPS let this go before court. It appears to be protecting not the victim, but the perpetrator.
This is not the first time that Ms Saunders’ moral judgement has been called into question. On the 28th of June 2015, she defended her decision not to prosecute former MP Greville Janner, 86, on 22 serious child abuse charges involving nine victims because, it was claimed, the Labour peer was incapacitated by advanced dementia, despite no court assessment of his health ever having taken place. It’s about time she is dismissed from office.
We are now in the bizarre situation in the UK where men accused of the most heinous sex crimes against women or even children can escape justice for decades, yet men who had drunken sex with a consenting adult woman last Saturday night could find themselves facing years behind bars. Obviously, people can be so intoxicated they are not able to consent, but there was blatant hypocrisy when in 2015, Saunders initiated a change in the CPS rules for prosecuting rape cases.
The new rules made a drunk man responsible for everything he does (and anything a drunk woman does with him) while a drunk woman is treated as a child with no culpability at all, simply by virtue of her consumption of large amounts of alcohol. To all intents and purposes, this meant a man is effectively guilty of rape until proven innocent in a court of law, even if there is no evidence. But when there is actual evidence, as in the Chelsey Wright case, Saunders takes no action.
They look the other way when an alleged criminal is well-connected or from a certain religion. It is disappointing to see the inconsistency, the hypocrisy, of feminists, such as the Director of the CPS, Alison Saunders, on £205,000 a year, who do not show the same enthusiasm in prosecuting the Muslim rapist of Chelsey Wright, or former MP Greville Janner on 22 serious child abuse charges, as they do for demanding working class men, but not women, be punished for engaging in sexual acts when drunk.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometers (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites have been monitoring biomass burning activity in Southeast Asia as the season got underway more than a month ago. Up until now, fire activity has been concentrated in Myanmar and countries to the east, including Thailand and Laos. In this image from Aqua MODIS on March 16, 2004, fire activity is concentrated in southern India (center) and western Myanmar (right). Scores of fires were detected by MODIS and are marked in red. The densest cluster of fires is producing thick smoke.
At this time of year, many fires are being set intentionally for agricultural purposes. Though not necessarily immediately hazardous, such large-scale burning can have a strong impact on weather, climate, human health, and natural resources.
The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at additional resolutions.
Thousands of fires burning in Southeast Asia were blanketing the region with blue-gray smoke at the time this image was captured by the MODIS instrument on NASA’s Aqua satellite on March 27, 2004. MODIS has been capturing images of the region’s agricultural burning season since early February, but activity seems to have picked up considerably in mid to late March.

Former Sunderland JJB Sports shop could be turned into a pub
A former Sunderland sports store could become a pub under new plans submitted to the city council.
A ‘change of use’ application has this week been lodged for Sunderland’s former JJB Sports store at 92 High Street West.
If approved, applicants aim to revamp the space with a new shopfront, as well as serving food and drink.
Under the plans, the pub could create 15 full-time and 15 part-time jobs.
The plans also include provision for two car parking spaces at the rear, bicycle parking and a smoking area.
Applicant Roxborough Plant SSAS, have submitted the full application and also plan to submit a separate bid for new signage.
Proposed opening hours would be 11am to 11pm, Monday to Saturday and 12pm to 10.30pm on Sundays and bank holidays.
Existing corrugated cladding on the building will be removed, with the original windows and bricks “exposed and upgraded where necessary”.
Public comments can be made on the application until November 9, with a decision expected by November 13.
Roxborough Plant SSAS were approached for comment.
Visit www.sunderland.gov.uk/online-applications and search reference 18/01529/FUL for more information of the planning application.

New fencing at the Ann Arbor municipal airport will be installed, as a result of two separate votes by the Ann Arbor city council at its Feb. 19, 2013 meeting. The first vote consisted of the grant approval, which totaled $157,895. Of that amount, $150,000 is federal money, $3,947 comes from the state of Michigan, and $3,948 comes from the city airport’s operating budget.
The fencing is meant to improve safety. According to the staff memo accompanying the council’s resolution, three incursions (someone getting in a restricted area of the airfield) took place in 2012. Before those three incursions, none had taken place since 2009.
The second vote was on a $32,000 contract with URS Corp. for engineering services related to the gate and fencing project. Funding for the contract is covered in the grant accepted by a vote of the council at the same meeting. The scope of the project includes installation of two new gate locations, the replacement of two existing gates, the upgrade of an existing gate location, upgrade of existing security fencing and the installation of new security fencing in the three hangar areas of the airport.
This brief was filed from the city council’s chambers on the second floor of city hall, located at 301 E. Huron. A more detailed report will follow: [link]

The themes that I always seem to run into while writing are the diametrically opposing forces of any type. Sometimes I write about good and evil, sometimes black and white and then at times maybe the rich and the poor. It seems to come easier for me to play narrator when I can see and even describe both sides of a story without commitment to either side. It’s easier to write when you don’t feel the need to lie or hide whatever it is that you want to make visible, like an interesting story.
Take evil for instance. I like to acknowledge that it is there, but I also like to show it in other forms other than what most would find atrocious acts. Evil is a presence that can be felt and described without having to add guts and gore. Too many times, I enjoy embracing that evil presence, strengthening it in prose, and then in the end abandoning it or abolishing it altogether.
In reading back through some of my past writings, I seem to have two voices at times. One is the evil, crisp narrator who would promise world domination and adherence to a dark side. Then there would be the good, flittering and nurturing narrator who would tell of tears and joy. Though I seem to choose one or the other dependent upon mood, I really haven’t seen anything that stands out as a theme.
One thing that I do tend to move toward is empowerment. In much of my gaming life, social and political power in the eyes of the Deities is a big focus. So I think in much of my writing I tend to view my audience as being the powers that be, so in that respect I am basically writing for the empowerment of my characters rather than for the story itself, thereby missing theme altogether.
So in the end, what is the point? I loved the journey of that character. I loved that character. I loved the oppositional forces surrounding that character and I loved how he/she dealt with the obstacles encountered throughout their journey. I don’t know what all that means, but that’s the joy of writing for me.
I think what I can do to help myself develop a better feel for theme is to be more aware of what I’m bringing into each story. I should probably ask more questions about why I introduce things into my stories, like what is the purpose of bringing this new character into focus? What are my plans for that particular character (if any) and does it fit with my story? I think that if I question myself more when I’m writing, I may find that there is more of a point than just the journey itself.
