The Lovereading4Kids comment
Snogging, nearly-snogging, other people’s snogs, make up disasters, embarrassing parents and friends – loyal and not...
Fans of best-selling teenage tearaway Georgia Nicolson will be delighted by her latest hilarious diary which records all the highs and lows of being a teenager.
Startled By His Furry Shorts! by Louise Rennison
Georgia Nicolson is a crazy but loveable teenager. Now, she is on the 'rack of luuurve'. Will Masimo the Italian Stallion agree to be her one and only boyfriend? How does she feel about her old friend and lip-nibbling partner, Dave the Laugh? This title follows her hilarious antics as she desperately tries to muddle her way through teenage life.
'It's an excellent book and I'm dying to know what happens next.'
'...then he ate my boy entrancers.': You'll be falling about laughing at this.'
'The only snag about taking this on holiday is that it won't last long: it will be consumed without a break except for the snorting noises. But it can always be passed on to parents by any youngster who can stand the sound of Vati's and Mutti's snorts, or dipped into repeatedly because every line is vair vair funny.'
'...and that's when it fell off in my hand.': 'Readers will find themselves laughing uncontrollably until their sides hurt, and won't be able to put the book down.'
'Hilarious... [Louise Rennison] is queen of the pink-book pack.'
'Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging': 'Bridget Jones for teenagers - but funnier. Expect Potter-esque queues for the sequel.'
'Don't miss this gem'

Writing about Larry L. King is a difficult task that leaves me feeling like some sweating country jeweler stooped over a fine stone trying to fashion an appropriate setting out of tin. Some good writers have craft; others have soul and spirit. Larry has what great writers have: he has both, and he uses them well. His writing is rooted in Texas without being locked and bolted up here. From such local roots it grows to universal appeal, as witness the translation of his essay “The Old Man” into several languages, including Russian. Larry has a country-bred Texan’s wariness about Eastern sophistication, and when he writes (“Leavin’ McMurtry,” page 70) about fellow author Larry McMurtry’s book Leaving Cheyenne being made a sad mockery by a New York film crew, it is quite possible to hear both Larrys—King and McMurtry— joining in some mutual chorus of lamentation by country boys perpetually sold out by city folk.
King is at his best at personal journalism, with which his new book The Old Man and Lesser Mortals abounds, although he can, as in The One-Eyed Man, turn a dandy hand to fiction. McMurtry is at his best with fiction—The Last Picture Show, Moving On— although he can do it up right as an essayist, which his collection In a Narrow Grave (to be reprinted by The Encino Press this spring) abundantly shows. Each man has carved out a substantial niche as a major American writer, although McMurtry was once prone to wearing a sweat shirt decorated with the words “Minor Regional Novelist,” and King is fond of retelling the story of his triumphal return to West Texas after the publication of his first book, and being asked, “Hidy Larry, you still working over at the post office?”
We are proud to have a story by Larry King in our pages, and proud to have him join our masthead as contributing editor. It has always been one of our goals, along with providing an outlet for promising young writers, to furnish a forum for the best Texas writers to publish in Texas. We all gain when a writer of the sensibility and talent of a Larry King turns his hand to the home soil, for the home folks.
Few issues arouse as much emotional heat and as little intellectual light as abortion. The whole issue is shrouded in primitive beliefs, religious dogma, libertarian credos, woman’s liberationist slogans, and sexual fears and prejudices. Some of the world’s most reasonable people find themselves yelling at each other and calling the other the worst of names whenever the subject comes up. We have tried to avoid such emotionalism in our story “Abortion in Texas” (page 54). Author Martha Hume spent three months interviewing women, doctors, social workers, abortion activists pro and con, hospital administrators, and maternity home officials in the process of producing the first comprehensive examination of the status of abortions since the United States Supreme Court struck down Texas’ anti-abortion statute a year ago. Martha has been freelancing since July, when she left her job as assistant editor of Texas Medicine, a publication of the Texas Medical Association. Journalism has been in her blood since her childhood days in Steams, Kentucky, a company mining town in Appalachia where her father edits the local paper. After a brief stint as city editor on the Winchester Sun in Winchester, Kentucky, she came to the University of Texas, where she earned an M.A. in journalism.
Katharine Lowry, who replaces Judith Crist as our regular film reviewer, is a native Texan in temporary exile in Princeton, New Jersey. She brings to film reviewing a determination to communicate with the filmgoer instead of the narrow world of professional reviewers. “My reviews are written for everyone to understand,” she says, “whether the film is the first, or the ten-thousandth, he has seen.” Where Ms. Crist had the solid stature of an established New York reviewer, Ms. Lowry has the enthusiasm and freshness of a new talent, and the sensibility and awareness of a Texan born and bred. Discovering and encouraging such new talent is one of the real pleasures of editing, and I urge our readers to keep an eye on Katharine Lowry’s work.
The Texas Monthly Reporter (page 9) is a new feature of the magazine, and is the handiwork of Richard West. Each month we will be sending Richard around the state to report on the bits and pieces of information underlying what is happening in sports, business, politics, and the arts; to draw profiles of well-known and un-known, but important, Texans; and to sample the flavor of life in the nooks and crannies of our cities and towns. That’s a big order, but Richard has crisscrossed the state many times before. For a number of years he was press secretary to former House Speaker and Lieutenant Governor Ben Barnes. In those days he traveled by private plane; now he drives a red Volkswagen bus. Times have changed, but Richard still knows the state as well as anyone. He has already written in this magazine on subjects as diverse as how to buy a bike, where to go on the Border, and how the lobby works in state politics. While most of us live in a particular city, Richard’s home will be the state as a whole.
Over the past couple of months we have been changing the design and format of the magazine. Around the State has moved from the front to the back; film reviews and some other departments have moved from the back to the front. Not only are some of our standby departments in a different place, they look different as well. The new look of the magazine is the work of Gary Easterly, who has been our art director since December. Gary’s major goals, in his words, are “to make the magazine readable and interesting and to insure that the overall impression of the magazine matches what we are saying in it. A reader should be able to leaf through the magazine, just looking at it, and have a good idea what kind of a magazine it is.” Gary’s month-to-month job is to orchestrate the several elements—photographs, illustrations, and type—which make up an issue. Marshall McLuhan, the chronicler of our mixed media world, has said for years that how a medium communicates is as important as what it communicates. Gary is responsible for how Texas Monthly communicates; the changes that our readers may have noticed are designed to improve our communication and to make the magazine overall a better window into the world of Texas.

LONDON (Reuters) - British housebuilder Berkeley said its full-year earnings could rise towards the top end of expectations and accelerated a dividend payout to shareholders, sending its share price to an all-time high.
The London-focused developer said its Tower, One St George Wharf scheme on the south bank of the River Thames, which hit headlines in January after a helicopter crashed into a crane on top of the 185 metre-tall block, was now on track to deliver the majority of its completions in the second half of the financial year, which could boost earnings.
It also said it would pay an interim dividend of 90 pence per share in January 2014, up from the 15 pence paid last time and ahead of its original timetable, and would maintain a regular distribution of dividends in the period to September 2015.
"Today's announcement has given a bit more clarity on short-term payments but the longer dates remain in place," Peel Hunt analyst Clyde Lewis said.
The company announced plans in 2011 to return 1.7 billion pounds in cash to shareholders with September 2015 being the first milestone by when it plans to return 568 million pounds to shareholders.
Shares in Berkeley were up 7.5 percent at 2451 pence by 11 a.m. British time, having peaked at 2533 earlier in the session, an all-time high since the shares were listed in 1985 and making them the top riser in the FTSE 250 index <.FTMC>.
Analysts currently expect the company to post full-year pretax profits of between 300 and 374 million pounds, on revenues which on average are forecast to come in at 1.5 billion pounds ($2.5 billion), according to Thomson Reuters data.
The housebuilder's profits have risen sharply in recent years thanks to strong demand for its London homes from overseas buyers as well as local buyers encouraged by government schemes to help Britons get onto the housing ladder.
Pretax profits for the six months to the end of October rose 19.2 percent to 169.5 million pounds, on a 19.7 percent increase in revenue to 821 million pounds. Net asset value per share was up 5.3 percent from six months ago at 1062 pence.
CAPITAL GAINS FOR OVERSEAS INVESTORS
Berkeley, which sells 30 percent of its homes to non-UK residents, said that it was broadly supportive of the government's move announced this week to levy capital gains tax on foreign residential property owners from 2015, but warned that continual changes to the tax regime could start to deter such buyers.
Britain last year introduced stamp duty of up to 15 percent on residential property purchases made through a company which are worth more than 2 million pounds, a move which Berkeley's Managing Director Rob Perrins said should be withdrawn.
"Those are unfair taxes and will stifle investment. If they can get certainty, people are happy to pay tax on a profit and that's why capital gains tax we're broadly supportive of. But they get concerned when it changes every six months," Perrins said.

An outstanding field has been assembled for Saturday’s 144th running of the Kentucky Derby and the post position draw turned out remarkably well for the top contenders. I’ve been fortunate to watch all 20 horses train at Churchill Downs and a few horses have moved up in my estimation.
Let’s get right to my Kentucky Derby selections:
Top Selection: #14 MENDELSSOHN
Mendelssohn started on turf and defeated a strong group in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) last fall, but the Scat Daddy colt elevated his game switching to dirt for the U.A.E. Derby (G2), winning by 18 lengths with seemingly plenty in reserve. He showed good speed leading wire to wire and his tactical foot should serve him well in a 20-horse field where the start is critical. The outside draw benefits him – jockey Ryan Moore should be able to avoid kickback as he looks to settle just off the speed to his inside – and I think Mendelssohn will have more to offer in the Kentucky Derby.
2nd Choice: #5 AUDIBLE
Audible earned huge BRIS Speed ratings posting convincing wins in the Holy Bull (G2) and Florida Derby (G1), cornering extremely well before finishing powerfully through the stretch of both races, and the stalker is eligible to receive the right trip in midpack Saturday. I like how he’s trained locally in preparation, galloping out like a beast following a half-mile breeze last weekend, and Audible could be finishing fastest of all beneath Javier Castellano.
3rd Choice: #7 JUSTIFY
Justify will be tough to beat if he gets into the same rhythm from his first three starts, but the supremely talented colt has never had a horse to his outside during a race and didn’t break cleanly in any of his starts, leaving the starting a half-step slow in the first two outings and regathering his footing after the ground gave way beneath him at the beginning of the Santa Anita Derby (G1). He probably could’ve spotted the overmatched competition 10 lengths in those races – Justify has only faced a total of 14 horses while competing in small fields every time – but won’t have the same margin for error in the Kentucky Derby. If Justify gets the right trip, he’ll make a strong move on far turn and may prove impossible to run down. But it’s a lot to ask from an inexperienced colt at short odds.
4th Choice: #4 FLAMEAWAY
Flameaway has laid his body down and fought hard to the wire in all four starts this year, and he could be in position to grab a minor award in the latter stages here. I’ve liked the energy and enthusiasm he’s displayed at Churchill over the last two weeks, galloping out into the backstretch with gusto every time, and I will be including Flameaway in my exotic wagers.
5th Choice: #6 GOOD MAGIC
Good Magic will need to up his game to challenge following a Blue Grass (G2) win where he netted only a 98 BRIS Speed rating, but he’ll be making the third start off the layoff and looks poised to take another step forward. He’s made a favorable impression over the track during morning preparations and if Good Magic gets the right trip in behind the early leaders, he could make his presence felt in the final furlongs.
My entire top 10 is below:
Good luck in the Kentucky Derby!

Bishop Michael Fitzgerald last week celebrated a Mass as part of Little Flower High School’s 80th anniversary.
The Oct. 9 Mass, in the school auditorium, took place on the feast day of St. Denis. It was Dennis Cardinal Dougherty who founded Little Flower.
As Fitzgerald explained in his homily, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia was growing in the late 1930s and was looking to open a Northeast Catholic High School for girls to go along with the one for boys at 1842 Torresdale Ave.
The girls school was built at 10th and Lycoming streets and opened in 1939. Dougherty, though, had a special devotion to St. Therese of Lisieux (known as “The Little Flower of Jesus”) and named the new school Little Flower.
“Remember to bring St. Therese’s example and love to everything you do,” he told the nearly 500 students.
Fitzgerald pointed to a painting of Dougherty on the auditorium wall, recalling how he used the financial gifts he received for the 50-year anniversary of him being in the priesthood to help fund Little Flower in its early years.
Fitzgerald urged the students to follow in the school’s mission statement.
“Girls, this world needs a lot more love,” he said.
Members of student government presented Fitzgerald with a Little Flower jacket and roses and promised to pray for him. He thanked the student body by giving them a day off to be determined by the administration.
Student ambassadors Kyla Booth, Emma Curran, Maddie Gillespie and Aniyah Plumer took Fitzgerald on a tour of the school and joined him for Stock’s pound cake in school president Jeane McNamara’s office.
Little Flower invites eighth-grade girls to visit the school on Thursday, Oct. 24, from 9:15 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. There will be an open house that night from 6 to 8. Anyone who registers to attend the school that day will have the fee reduced to $50 (from $125).

Tatas, Reliance, Adani, Hindustan Unilever and a host of companies and individuals have come forward with donations of cash and infrastructure to help society meet the coronavirus challenge. Their interventions offer many lessons on how to businesses can tackle humanitarian crises in future.
Many Indian businesses have opened their purse strings to mitigate the social impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The country’s largest conglomerate, the Tata Group, has donated $200 million and launched several other schemes to help stakeholders cope with the losses they have suffered over the past year and a half.
Other corporate houses like Reliance Industries, the Adani Group, Hindustan Unilever, ITC, the Bajaj Group, the Mahindra Group as well as individuals such as Microsoft boss Satya Nadella, several Bollywood personalities, cricketers and others have also pitched with cash donations as well as infrastructure support.
As the second wave of the Covid-19 virus rampages through the world, it is causing social and economic disruption in its wake. India, which had managed to thwart the worst of the first wave, found itself in the cross hairs when the virus mutated and returned for a second run of destruction.
As the second wave of the Covid-19 virus rampages through the world, it is causing acute social and economic disruption. This has focused attention on the ‘S’ of the ‘ESG’ paradigm that many businesses swear by.
It has also focused attention like never before on the “S” of the “ESG” (Environment, Social and Governance) paradigm that many businesses swear by.
The Global Risks Report 2021 published by the World Economic Forum (WEF) says: “Underlying disparities in healthcare, education, financial stability and technology have led the crisis to disproportionately impact certain groups and countries. Not only has Covid-19 caused more than 2 million deaths at the time of writing, but the economic and long-term health impacts will continue to have devastating consequences.”
This is prompting many companies and businesses to take a closer look at the social side of their conduct vis-à-vis their employees, customers, shareholders and the wider communities they are part of. This can fundamentally alter the way at least some businesses interact with all their stakeholders.
An ORF study on the impact of Covid-19 has found that many survivors and/or families of those afflicted as well as many other impacted by loss of jobs and livelihoods, undergo the following emotions:
* Sense of isolation and despondency
* Social ostracism
* Perceived neglect by healthcare workers due to fear of getting infected
* Intensification of physical distress: primary disease + COVID-19 (sometimes associated with a comorbidity) and
* Financial distress
A WEF study says: ‘Underlying disparities in healthcare, education… have led the crisis to disproportionately impact certain groups … the economic and long-term health impacts will have devastating consequences’.
A McKinsey & Co. study says: “… corporate leaders are recognizing the need and opportunity to carefully re-consider their community investment and corporate social impact strategies. Seeing their company’s future success as even more closely intertwined with the health and economic well-being of their employees and their communities, they are asking a range of questions, including: ‘What new business risks and opportunities do we need to address?” “How and where should we invest? “What should our company’s social impact efforts look like in the Covid-19 era and for years to come?’”
Tata Steel, which has several global firsts to its credit, including the introduction of the 8-hour working day in 1912, free medical aid in 1915 and workers’ provident fund scheme in 1920 – much before they were introduced in Europe and the US – has led the way by designing a social security scheme to ensure that the families of all employees who succumbed to Covid will continue to receive the last drawn salary as well as medical and housing benefits due to them till the age of 60.
To make a strong impact, the programme must have clearly stated goals, businesses must allocate adequate resources; and they must create teams that include their best human resources to steer the initiative.
In addition, the scheme provides that the company will pay for the education of children of frontline workers contracting Covid on the job till the level of their graduation in any Indian institution.
“Tata Steel has taken the path of Agility with Care by extending social security schemes to the family members of the employees affected by COVID-19. While we do our bit, we urge everyone to help others around them in any capacity possible to get through these tough times,” the company said on Twitter.
Other Tata companies have also announced several measures to help combat the challenge posed by Covid-19.
Then, in a series of tweets, industrialist Anand Mahindra of Mahindra & Mahindra has announced that he is opening the group’s 5-star resorts as temporary care facilities and that the group’s project team will work with the government to set up Covid care centres for patients.
These are a few examples from dozens of such instances of corporate altruism. They offer some important lessons for businesses that want to make social interventions that have the maximum impact.
* To make a strong social impact, the relief programme must have clearly stated social and business goals.
* The business must allocate adequate resources to achieve those goals.
* Businesses must be ready to create cross functional teams that include their best human resources in fields such as CSR, operations, community development, marketing, finance, IT, etc.
* The team leader should have proven execution capacity, be of sufficient seniority and be empowered to take decisions on the spot.
These are just some of the ways in which businesses can help mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on society.

Effort to Censure State Sen. Amanda Chase Moves Forward
Members of the Virginia state Senate are taking action to censure a senator who spoke at the rally that led to the attack on the Capitol.
Republican Senator Amanda Chase of Chesterfield called on President Trump to invoke martial law and have the military conduct another election. She called the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol and killed a police officer "patriots." And, she said it was a great honor to speak at the rally that led to the riot.
That led Senator John Bell, a Democrat from Loudoun County, to introduce a resolution to censure Chase.
"When I saw our Capitol attacked on January 6, 2021, it was one of the most horrific things I've experienced in my life," Bell said. "Frankly what was even more troubling, though, was to know the involvement was from one of our own, one of our own senators, the senior senator from Chesterfield."
The resolution passed a committee on a party line vote. Republican Senator Bryce Reeves of Fredericksburg said he believes censuring Chase is a violation of her right to free speech.
"This country has dramatically shifted from the belief of freedom of speech to a culture of freedom from speech," he explained. "Speech they don't like or don't want to agree with."
Senator Chase did not appear before the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee to defend herself, but she will have a chance to share her side of the story when the full Senate considers the resolution later this week.
Reporter's Update added 1/20: Senator Chase says the people she was calling "patriots" were the people at the Washington Monument, which she describes as a "totally separate event" from the attack on the Capitol.
"I'm not referring to the people who stormed the Capitol as patriots," says Chase.
She says she did not appear before the committee to defend herself because she had "new staff who dropped the ball."

They are our main source of energy and contain 4 calories per gram. Carbohydrates are found in fruits, vegetables, pasta, grains, sugars, cereals and rice.
They can be classified as simple or complex carbohydrates and are converted to glucose before absorbed in the bloodstream. Then they are either burned for energy or stored for later use.
Simple carbs are found in fruit, dairy and table sugar and are absorbed quickly into the bloodstream.
Pasta, potatoes, oats, grains and vegetables contain complex carbohydrates which have to be broken into simple carbohydrates before absorbed into the bloodstream.
Rapid absorption of glucose causes insulin to rise and it turns our signal to store fat. Insulin spikes make us crave sweet and unhealthy things. The insulin rids blood of glucose leaving us tired and craving more glucose to replace the glucose that has been emptied out of the bloodstream.
Ideally, our carb intake should be based on whole pieces of food, steamed vegetables, dairy and oats.
Dietary fats are vital for optimal performance and weight control, as well as sustaining life. Fats have 9 calories per gram.
Saturated fats raise bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels and therefore enhance chances of heart disease. They can be found in margarine, potato chips, popcorns and other fast food.
Unsaturated fats come from plant sources such as nuts, seeds, olives, olive oil, flax seed oil and fish.
Both types of fat provide satiety, improved taste and texture of foods, energy and slowed absorption of other nutrients. Fat is important for building new cells and normal brain development and nerve function. It is also necessary for carrying and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K) and carotenoids.
Fat should make up 25-30% of total calorie intake. It is just important to mostly consume good, unsaturated fats. A handful of nuts, a little bit of olive oil in your salad and plenty of fish will provide you with enough unsaturated fats throughout the day.
Saturated fats should come from dairy and meat instead of fast and junk food.
Protein breaks down into amino acids, the building blocks that repair and regenerate cells of the body, including muscles. It makes you feel full faster than fats and carbohydrates, it has 4 calories per gram and it can be found in poultry, meat, dairy products, soy, tofu, beans and eggs.
People who are trying to build lean muscle mass with resistance training should consume about 1.5 g of proteins per every pound of ideal body weight.
If you are restricting calorie intake for weight loss, you need to ensure that you’re still consuming at least 1 g per pound of ideal body weight and optimally 1.5 g per pound in order to prevent any muscle loss while cutting fat. The key is to put quality protein sources like chicken, turkey and seafood into your diet.
Make proteins the center of every meal and then choose healthy carbs and fats you want to add to it for an easy, healthy meal building.

Convective Accelerometer and Tilt Sensor in CMOS Technology
V. Milanovic, E. D. Bowen, N. H. Tea, Michael Gaitan, Mona E. Zaghloul
This paper describes a CMOS implementation of novel ID and 2D accelerometers that operate based on heat convection, requiring no solid proof mass. The devices consist of micromachined microheaters and thermocouple sensors separated by a gap and placed in differential configurations. Thermocouple sensors measure the temperature difference between two sides of the microheater caused by the effect of acceleration on free convection in the surrounding gas. The devices show small linearity error of < 0.5% under tilt conditions from -90 degrees C to 90 degrees C, and < 1.6% under acceleration from 0 g to 8 g. Sensitivity of the devices is a nearly linear function of heater power (temperature). For operating power between 35 mW and 45 mW, sensitivity of 20 υV/g to 30 υV/g was measured.

LEBANON, Ohio — John McCain took a risk in picking little-known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as a running mate, but now the campaign's playing it safer. She's sticking to a greatest-hits version of her convention speech on the campaign trail and steering clear of questions until she's comfortable enough for a hand-picked interviewer later this week.
More than 40 million people tuned in last week to listen to the speech from Palin, the 44-year-old, first-term governor whom McCain announced as his surprise vice presidential pick just days before. Since then, that basic script is all anyone has heard from her publicly, and her only interaction with the media was a brief conversation with a small group of reporters on her plane Monday — off the record at her handlers' insistence.
Associated Press reporters were not on the plane, but an aide told the journalists on board that all Palin flights would be off the record unless the media were told otherwise. At least one reporter objected. Two people on the flight said the Palins greeted the media and they chatted about who had been to Alaska, but little else was said.
By comparison, her Demo-cratic counterpart, Joe Biden, has been campaigning on his own, at times taking questions from audiences. He split off to campaign separately from Barack Obama the day after Obama announced his selection. They reunited at their party's convention and spent the following weekend campaigning together.
Biden's appearances have touched on a range of issues — in Florida he talked about U.S. support for Israel, in Pennsylvania it was economics and tax policy. He was interviewed on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Amid growing sniping from Democrats, the McCain campaign announced that Palin would sit down for her first interview this week, with ABC. It will take place over two days at her home in Alaska.
McCain campaign manager Rick Davis has said Palin will "agree to an interview when we think it's time and when she feels comfortable doing it."
"She's not scared to answer questions," Davis said on "Fox News Sunday."
Her schedule released Tuesday shows she will attend a "welcome home" rally in Fairbanks, Alaska, on Wednesday evening — her first major campaign appearance without McCain at her side and his advisers hanging in the wings.
To be sure, all candidates running for office give the same remarks over and over — Barack Obama's stump speech has hardly changed throughout the campaign, and McCain has been telling familiar stories and jokes for months.
But none of the candidates in this race has been so shielded from the media, so protected from any spontaneous situation, and Palin's unvarying remarks give the impression that she and her message are being tightly controlled. As before her convention speech, McCain's campaign is briefing Palin for her first TV interview.
After a rally Tuesday in Lancaster, Pa., a group of supporters waiting outside to shake hands with McCain and Palin screamed for her to jump up on an outdoor platform, as McCain had just done, and speak to them.
"Speech! Speech!" they cried. She continued down the line, shaking hands, and then hopped into an SUV.
In her prepared remarks, there are always descriptions of McCain as a "man who's there to serve his country and not just his party." He's someone who's "not looking for a fight but is not afraid of one, either." He "doesn't run with the Washington herd." He's the only man in this election "who has ever really fought for you."
In Lancaster they cheered when she reminded them, as she did in her convention speech, of Obama's primary-season comment about how some small-town Americans are bitter and cling to guns or religion.
She also said again that she said "thanks but no thanks" to Alaska's so-called Bridge to Nowhere, even though her version of the story has been widely debunked.
Another crowd favorite in her speech is that story about how she got rid of luxuries in the state Capitol, like a personal driver, chef and luxury jet.
"I put it on eBay," she says.
Audiences love this part, but what Palin never adds is that the jet didn't sell on eBay despite numerous attempts. The state eventually hired an aircraft broker to unload it.


'Tumhe rukna nahi hai': India goalie Gurpreet remembers Milkha's words
"Tumhe rukna nahi hai (you cannot stop)", these words from legendary Millkha Singh still inspires Indian football goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu who says the advice from the 'Flying Sikh' helped him fight challenges during his European stint.
Iconic sprinter Milkha died in Chandigarh on Friday due to Covid-19 related complications and there was outpouring of tributes from thousands of countrymen, including sports persons.

Gurpreet remembers a ceremony in Chandigarh in 2015 where Milkha gave away an award to him.
"He (Millkha) told me 'Hard work has no replacement. I even used to vomit blood at times after training but tumhe rukna nahi hai'," (You cannot stop!)," Gurpreet said in an AIFF release.
"At that time, I was playing my club football in Norway with FC Stabaek, where every day was a fight to prove myself and break into the starting lineup. It was a great challenge and living abroad, there were days when it was hard to keep my spirits up.
"However, I used to fall back on these words spoken to me by 'the Flying Sikh' himself, they were a great motivator and pushed me to give my all each day.
"The words he spoke to me are still with me and continue to be a huge source of inspiration. His words and blessings will always be with me whenever I am fighting on the football pitch for my country," said the 29-year-old India number one goalie who has also captained the national team.
In 2014, Gurpreet became the first Indian footballer to play in a top division club in Europe when he turned out for FC Stabaek of Norway.
He stayed with FC Stabaek till 2017. In 2016, he became the first Indian player to play in Europa League, European football's second tier club competition.
Paying tribute to Milkha, whose best known exploit was the fourth-place finish at the 1960 Rome Olympics, Gurpreet said, "Legends and their legacies live on forever."
"Milkha Singh-ji and his life story has influenced billions of people in India and across the world, and even though he is no more with us, he will continue to inspire future generations."
He said there must be so many more athletes across the country whose lives were touched by the legendary Milkha and hoped they would able to push themselves to the next level through his blessings and wisdom.
"All of us grew up reading about him and his successes, and to have shared the stage with him in person is a memory I will always keep close to my heart.
"He is one of India's greatest sports persons of all-time. His achievements on the track are second to none and even in his eighties, he was devoted religiously to fitness and always encouraged others to do the same." PTI PDS PDS AT AT


Recently, the new Pakatan Harapan government announced that employers who have hired foreign workers illegally would be tracked down and charged for violating the law. They also made a decision to stop the rehiring programme in hopes of giving illegal workers a chance to get valid work permits.
However, this process has taken an abusive turn as authorities were reported to be mishandling the workers that were detained.
This was seen in a case reported on Facebook by an employer who described the way her helper was allegedly mistreated when the authorities conducted an immigration raid on Sunday (June 1).
Lynn Townley said that her Filipino helper had a copy of her passport and a picture of her visa with her when she was handcuffed and detained at the Kotaraya Shopping Complex in Kuala Lumpur, together with 300 other people.
“But instead of checking the documents, they loaded everyone into buses like animals and made them wait without water for five hours,” she said.
According to Townley, FMT reported that her helper was handcuffed to 10 other alleged illegal workers the whole time, and was even made to go to the bathroom together as a group. How is that even possible?
The workers were taken to the Malaysian Immigration Department in Putrajaya, where several of their employers were waiting. These employers had the original documents with them as proof that their workers were legal, and were desperately trying to talk to the officers. However, they were either ignored or yelled at instead.
“My helper has been working for me for 10 years, always legal and a kind and caring member of our TTDI community,” Townley said.
“She was released with bruises on her wrists from the handcuffs and marker on her arms from being tagged like a criminal. I understand the need to check documents and tighten down on illegal workers, but this process was absolutely unnecessary and cruel.”
Townley also posted several photos of her helper’s arms that were bruised by the handcuffs, and photos of the other detained individuals who were seated on the floor behind the yellow immigration department tape.
Her post soon went viral on social media, with many netizens slamming the authorities on the way the detainees were treated.
Charles Santiago, Klang MP said in a statement today (July 3) that the scene was “beyond disturbing”, and added that this abuse inflicted on them by the immigration officers was “outrageous and totally unacceptable”.
He then called on the department to make its standard operating procedures (SOPs) on immigration raids public.
“And if the SOPs cannot be made public, the raids must be stopped to prevent further abuse of migrant workers,” he said.
“Immigration officers should not treat migrant workers like animals, even if they are undocumented, for these workers are the victims of the existing system in the country.”
Santiago also suggested to Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to act on the matter, saying that something should be done about the over-supply of migrant workers at its source, the corruption in the ministry and the issuing of new permits.
He advised Muhyiddin to set up a special commission to look into the management of migrant workers in the country, adding that this was long overdue.
“The government simply cannot compromise on this and neither should it allow the rights and dignity of a group of vulnerable people to be trampled on,” he said.
This was very unprofessional of the police. Even if these workers were illegal, they’re still human and deserve to be treated nicely.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Schools are going beyond "Just Say No" as they teach students as young as kindergartners about the dangers of opioids in the hope that they don't later become part of the growing crisis.
Some states have begun requiring instruction about prescription drugs and heroin, and districts are updating their anti-drug teachings to move toward interactive and engaging science-based lessons they hope will save lives.
States including Ohio and New York have passed laws requiring that schools include opioid abuse prevention in health education, and Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie pledged to do the same this month.
"The message will be simple and direct and start in kindergarten," Christie said, "the medicine in Mom and Dad's medicine cabinet is not safe for you to use just because a doctor gave it to them."
Savannah Wilson, a 17-year-old junior at State College Area High School in Pennsylvania, said a lesson including the science of opioid addiction and a video with stories from young addicts stuck with her when she got an oxycodone prescription following a recent surgery.
"I'm not sure if I would have had any issues, but it was definitely good to know, don't take more than you absolutely need to," Wilson said. "They're really strong drugs. They prescribed me way more than I needed. I had a lot left over. It's kind of scary how easy they make it for you."
Wilson said that she has gotten anti-drug lessons throughout school but that "before, it was kind of 'Just don't do it.'"
"Up until this year I didn't really get a full understanding of how easily it is to get addicted to some of these drugs and how open they are to people," she said.
The growing crisis has pushed her teacher, Melanie Lynch, to spend time focusing on opioids and not just drugs in general. One of her lessons was teaching students that they are consumers and that it's OK to discuss prescriptions with doctors.
"When you can get a teenager to acknowledge that that can happen to me - because nothing can happen to me, I'm invincible - that's a lesson that's a keeper," Lynch said. "It's not a scare tactic. They've internalized it."
The number of students abusing opioid prescription drugs is declining, according to a survey of 45,473 students by the National Institutes of Health. It found that misuse of opioid prescription drugs among 12th-graders dropped from 9.5 percent in 2004 to 4.8 percent in 2016.
But with the epidemic killing family members and recent graduates, teachers and administrators are looking for ways to teach about the issue.
While teachers like Lynch dedicate their time to coming up with creative methods, Kevin Lorson, director of the physical education licensure program at Ohio's Wright State University, said many others are desperate for help.
"I feel like schools are crying out for the help more than me telling them it's important," said Lorson, who is helping to create the grade-appropriate curriculum for Ohio schools. "Everybody is affected in some way, shape or form, whether it be a current student, former student, parents; everyone is impacted in some way."
Schools are bringing in people recovering from addiction to tell their stories, teaching about the science behind drug addiction, and working to get students and parents talking to each other and recognizing signs of abuse.
In the Norwin School District, near Pittsburgh, Superintendent William Kerr is having his middle school teachers start using Operation Prevention , a curriculum created by the Drug Enforcement Administration and Discovery Education.
It includes digital lesson plans aligned to federal science and health education standards, a social media video challenge, and tools for parents.
"We want to make sure that parents know the signs, that students understand the negative aspects, how to understand refusal skills," Kerr said. "We do believe that the earlier the conversations start between parents and children the better, and so we will also be exploring at the elementary level."
The best approach is to address underlying factors that encourage use, including easy accessibility, said Linda Richter, director of policy research and analysis for the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse .
She advises schools against developing their own program and suggests they invest in proven prevention programs that have been rigorously evaluated and connect them with overall lesson planning in schools.
"It's important for kids (and adults) to understand how drugs affect the brain and body," Richter said in an email, "but to really make a dent in the problem, parents, schools, and communities have to be involved in overall prevention and in identifying and helping kids who show signs of risk get the help they need."

About 100 protesters gathered in Westminster earlier to protest against its "demo ban" zone.
Which is, I think that you will agree, rather sweet. Let us leave aside that 300,000 protesters against the hunting ban and a million against the Iraq war had precisely fuck-all effect on the fascists that rule us, and look at those wonderful bloggers who were involved.
First up is Rachel From North London, agitating once again for an enquiry. Rachel thinks that a vastly expensive public enquiry, rather than the security forces and emergency services adapting to what was then a new situation, would be beneficial to all of us; mainly, however, I suspect that it will allay her paranoia about the—admittedly awful—experience that she went through. No doubt next time she will be campaigning for an enquiry into the Warrington and Omagh bombings, or perhaps she has already? Or perhaps they just weren't immediate enough? Or maybe she supports the ludicrous suspicion that many British Muslims apparently have that the 7/7 bombings were arranged by the government? Anyway, you can see her on Nosemonkey's post. Essentially, she has an axe to grind.
Then we have our dear ChickenYoghurt, also to be seen on Nosemonkey's post. At least Justin seems to have encapsulated the pointlessnes of what they are undertaking, with his Ban Everything and Legalise Everything signs. However, let us not forget that Justin, whilst an entertaining writer, also tends to lean to the Left. [EDIT and apologies: I was sure that I recollected Justin writing an article in favour of Sure Start about a year ago, but I must have been mistaken as I have been unable to find it. Again, apologies.]
Then, of course, we have Tim Ireland, who looks to be the fat fool that I always took him for. This is a man whose campaign against Labour is based on the fact that Blair is still leader; presumably, if Chuckles were not leading the party, voting for the fascist shitbags would be perfectly OK. And that is quite apart from the fact that he writes one of the most tediously earnest 'blogs in the UK, and possibly the world. (This is why, devoted to activism though Tim is, people like Guido and Iain do far better traffic.) Yet more axes.
It's very lovely to see a bunch of disenfranchised Labour supporters and loony Marxists organising a lovely little protest to amuse themselves: I can't, however, stop myself from thinking of the old P J O'Rourke quote about why you never see people on the Right at protests, i.e. they have jobs.
Still, as long as it makes them happy, eh?
EDIT 2: I am sure that this article comes over as very sour and, yes, I was in a bad mood. It is partly, I think, that I can't see where the coherence might be in this particular piece of protesting. Could there not have been one issue decided, but everybody applying separately to campaign on that one issue? Possibly that would not have been allowed...?

Johnny Carson is the undisputed king of late night television. He hosted The Tonight Show on NBC from 1962-1992, finishing just shy of 30 years of service. Even now with all of the sophisticated writing and technology on late night talk shows, Johnny Carson is still referenced as the greatest ever.
When I saw this, I fully expected Carson to come back to television at some point or perhaps make more guest appearances. But he never did. According to The New York Times, Carson in later years would often send monologue jokes to David Letterman and Carson would get a kick out of him doing this. This was the last time he was ever on TV. Carson passed away from emphysema in 2005 at the age of 79. After Carson's death, Letterman did an entire monologue with jokes that Carson had sent over the years.

RMI’s 2018 Corporate Renewable Energy Procurement Mid-year Market Update shows that corporations are buying more renewable energy than ever before and show no signs of slowing down.
Tesla is planning accelerated development and construction of this new battery and EV plant, which will mark the company’s first soirée into international production.
The program, like community solar for nonresidential customers, will allow business customers of Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress to purchase renewable energy and the RECs that come with it to reach their sustainability goals and reduce their electrical bills.
The project consists of over 73,000 photovoltaic panels across 82 Tucson Unified School
District school campuses and support facilities, and will provide the district with 47% of its electricity needs.
The investment comes as part of Governor Cuomo’s ambitious state mandate of 1,500 MW of energy storage by 2025, in hopes of shifting generation to match demand.
The unique project will match Texas’ largest previous battery storage project to address the difference between peak generation and peak demand.
The city becomes the 9th in Colorado to adopt a 100% renewable energy transition mandate.
The newly-announced facility in Spotsylvania County is the first step in a bigger 500 MW project, planned by sPower to be the largest on the East Coast.
The project on several sites on a landfill will become the second made available to community solar customers of PEPCO’s Maryland service area.

When exactly did the change happen -- the change during which democrats became republicans and republicans became assholes?
Let's look at a few noteworthy elements. During the Civil War and Reconstruction, republicans -- the party of Lincoln -- were fighting for the rights of freed black slaves to own property, vote, work for money, and other rights that only whites had previously. Republicans were pro-Union (USA, that is) and fought to keep everyone working as one nation. Democrats (Dixiecrats) were shouting "states' rights!" and Jim Crow-lawing the fuck out of freed slaves and black people right into the Civil Rights era, trying to keep alive the old ways of slavery, persecution, and lynching of blacks. Granted, republicans were always pro-business, but labor unions leveled the playing field and made sure that everyone made a fair wage for their work.
Today, it's the democrats who embrace the minorities, who fight for the little guy, who help the businesses but still support the unions. Republicans are now completely in the corporations' pockets, and corporatocracy favors the white man and all the money he can steal from pretty much everyone, black or white. Far-right republicans, or "tea party" supporters, are now the ones who shout "states' rights!" whenever a democratic president wants to do something they don't like. Gay marriage? States' rights to stop that perversion, no matter what Washington says! Legal abortion? States' rights to prosecute those baby-killing doctors and put 'em to death, no matter what the federal laws are! Labor unions? States' rights and "right to work" (i.e., right to be unemployed at the company's will) forever!
When did the switcheroo happen? Why did it happen? When did the republicans become the party of whiteys and the dems become the party of the rest of us? When did republicans say "fuck the Union!" and start hollering "states' rights!" everytime something didn't go their ideological way? I know that George "segregation foe-evah!" Wallace was a republican; my parents hated that guy! But when did that switch happen?
Did republicans, the party of anti-slavery, tap into the racism of the south in order to win the south's vote? Was that it? Or maybe they were always racist, and perhaps I'm unduly equating anti-slavery with anti-racism. Perhaps I'm generalizing that all northerners, and thus all northern republicans, were all pro-integration, pro-civil rights. Maybe it was just the poor ones, the ones NOT in power, who favored treating the black man fairly.
I'm no history scholar; I know only a little, albeit about a lot of things. But this has been rolling around in my brain for a while, as we watch the union battles in Wisconsin between the corporatocracy's republicans versus the common people's democrats. Why do republicans hate unions? Is it pure greed, pure pro-business at the expense of everything else? Hell, democrats are taking a lot of the same corporate money as republicans, but they're still largely supporting labor unions.
So what gives?

Guests on RTE’s talk shows will no longer be able to reach for a plastic bottle of water when they are on air, as the broadcaster has banned single-use bottles during programmes.
In a memo to staff last week, RTE’s services department asked programme managers to “ensure that single-use water bottles are not evident on air, even where they are owned by contributors/guests”.
The memo said RTE was bringing forward a plan to discontinue the use of 500ml plastic bottles across all its business operations “due to the importance of this issue”.
“With immediate effect, RTE will no longer provide 500ml plastic water bottles. Where necessary, water coolers will be relocated. Where possible, staff should use their own personal water bottles,” the memo stated.

Carleton is mourning the loss of Professor Emeritus Blair Neatby, a retired faculty member and former History Department chair who co-wrote a book about the university’s origins and growth. He passed away on March 11, 2018 at the Civic Hospital.
“Blair was a distinguished author, a much admired teacher, a chair of our department, and the historian of Carleton University,” said colleagues Norman Hillmer and Mark Phillips. “We express gratitude for his long life of scholarly collegiality and deep commitment to his country and his university.”
Visitations and a service will be held in April. The details are here.
After graduating from the University of Saskatchewan (BA/50), Neatby undertook PhD studies at Oxford and completed his doctoral work at the University of Toronto. He joined Carleton’s History Department in 1964.
With Donald McEown, he co-wrote Creating Carleton: the Shaping of a University, which examines the role played by students, professors and administrative personnel. His research notes from the project were donated to Carleton’s Archive and Research Collections:
Neatby was one of the first Canadian scholars to see English-French relations as central to understanding the country. He served as the supervisor of research on education for the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism, described as one of the most important in Canada’s history.
His doctoral thesis, Laurier and a Liberal Quebec, was popular when it was published. His most lauded work, however, was likely the two-volume MacKenzie King biography (1963 and 1976). Neatby acquired an encyclopedic knowledge of Canadian political history during the 1920s and 30s, and his books made a significant contribution to Canada’s political history in the inter-war period.
Neatby was named a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1977. He was actively involved with the Canadian Historical Association for several years and served as president in 1987 and 1988.

Hath nature that in time will venom breed, No teeth for the present. The audience can comprehend that as king Duncan was said to be a fair king, Macbeth's kingship will be foul and he will be unfit for the responsibilities of a king. As the story escalates throughout the scenes, one of the most noticeable symbolic images is one of animals and nature. The cricket indicates how fragile people become without their monarch. The two conspire to kill King Duncan so that Macbeth can ascend to the throne. He justifies himself by saying that from now on he will follow his first impulse, because if he had followed his first impulse, Macduff would already be dead. Macbeth begins to regret the choices he has made, Macbeth returns to his former role of an individual who kills on the battlefield and not by hiring murderers, sleep finally returns to Macbeth because of his ultimate demise, and peace is restored throughout nature because of his death.
Animals are used by Shakespeare as a tool to indicate the condition in which his characters are exposed to in the play. After telling his wife that he will visit the witches again, Macbeth reflects that there is no turning back from his evil course. Further mentioned by Banquo declaring the new honors upon Macbeth are like strange garments clothing mentioned once again. Another scene, was when Macbeth was talking to the Three witches in the third act. Generally, current diseases have been understood by researchers and medical professional. Everything that follows is simply the repercussion of Macbeth's unbridled ambition. And the owl, which usually catches mice on the ground, went up instead of down, and killed a falcon.
Death and killing happen in an instant, but blood remains, and stains. Doctor: Not so sick, my lord, as she is troubled with thick-coming fancies that keep her from rest. The use of animal imagery is often used to characterize Macbeth, which in turn brings out the theme of moral disorder. Neither you, nor the coeditors you shared it with will be able to recover it again. The owl killing the falcon is echoing Macbeth murdering Duncan. These motifs are very significant to present thoughts of the characters in this act.
Like Nature and animals appear at multiple times in literature as symbols. Incredible storms rage, the earth tremors, animals go insane and eat each other. These characters include Lady MacBeth, MacBeth, Lady MacDuff, Ross, and an old man speaking with Ross. Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble. Throughout the whole play, Shakespeare builds upon the theme of moral disorder, and not until the end of the play does the moral disorder become reversed.
In this play he uses the motifs of animals and nature to characterize a character. It represents a time were significant changes occur. The worm is used to produce Fleance and the serpent to perform as Banquo. The martlet was understood to only nest in sanctified places and Shakespeare employs this bird as dramatic irony making the characters think that Macbeth's castle is safe and holy where the audience knows it is a place of death and treachery. Bustamonte's famous pineapple upside-down cake, it would have been exactly like Macbeth. This line is among the most important in Macbeth and can be considered closest to describing the theme of the play. An example is when there is darkness and thunder that shows awareness and apprehensiveness.
If the King was good and just, then the nation would have good harvests and good weather. The implication is that Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, once they've given themselves to the extreme selfishness of ambition, have themselves become unnatural. By the end of the play, Macbeth kills Lady Macduff and her children without hesitation. Act four uses the motif of animals and nature a lot, as seen in the examples, and it is used by Shakespeare to explain and make the information easier to understand. It is an indication of how Macbeth attempts to convince the murders that what they are doing is for the good cause, because once they promise to carry out the assassination of Banquo, he states this line.
Hearing a knocking at his palace gate, Macbeth fears that he can never wash away the evidence of his guilt. Shakespeare uses a cat as a spirit, as cats are significant to witches a toad portrays their ugliness, as described earlier. If there was political order, then there would be natural order. Nature is used to demonstrate that he cleaned himself from the blood that covered his hand. This speech shows the audience that Lady Macbeth is the real steel behind Macbeth and that her ambition will be strong enough to drive her husband forward.
Seeing that Macbeth is a tragedy, one would expect the symbolism in the play to also be that of dark, gloomy and depressing and evidently act one started off with a menacing, ominous weather motif of thunder, lightning and rain spoken by the three witches. On his way to murder King Duncan, Macbeth sees the vision of the bloody dagger leading the way. Vaccinations against polio, measles, hepatitis and other diseases have all been found thanks to the use of testing on animals. And of course, Macbeth himself is a secret man of blood, a murderer. This reoccurring use of the animal imagery to display the chaotic destruction of the natural order of things is very effective and shows how backwards and wrong the world is with Macbeth as king.
Like In Act 5 of the play Macbeth, the motif nature is frequently used to present ideas from William Shakespeare. This strategy is very helpful for the reader, since we know most animals and most types of nature, and how they behave and if they represent something. At this point of the play, Macbeth has created an enemy; Malcolm, the person who should have been the king instead of Macbeth. Come, you spirits That tend on mortal thoughts! Perhaps that owl was the same one that Lady Macbeth heard when Macbeth was killing King Duncan. Macbeth doesn't want Banquo to be in any part of his life, that's why why he killed him.

Apparently Microsoft likes South Park so much that it signed an exclusivity deal for another game.
The last time a South Park game came out, it was as the well-received South Park Let’s Go Tower Defense Play! The game was such a hit that it turns out Microsoft Game Studios is working on a new South Park title for XBLA.
Speaking to Joystiq during a preview of Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon, 345 Games creative Director Prithvi Virasinghe was asked about whether or not his company would be working on a new South Park title. Virasinghe explained that the next game was being worked on by Microsoft Game Studios:
“Right now, South Park is actually in a first-party deal with Microsoft Studios, who published the first game, and they’re doing a second game as well. After that, that first-party exclusivity window expires, and we get a shot of taking that back.”
Other details about the next South Park title weren’t mentioned, like just what sort of title it’ll be. That said, if Microsoft is making the game, it stands to reason that the next title will be pretty solid.

Terror victim to be buried in Havat Gilad
Rabbi Raziel Shevah, who was murdered by Muslim terrorists in a terror attack on Tuesday night, will be buried at the Jewish outpost of Havat Gilad in Samaria on Wednesday at 1pm, his wife Yael said.
“Raziel asked that if anything were to happen to him, that he be buried in Havat Gilad,” Yael Shevah said. “We will honor his request and bury him in the settlement he so loved and was active in. This was his will. I call on and ask the entire people of Israel to come and accompany dear Raziel (on his final journey).”
Rabbi Shevah and his wife Yael have six children: Renana, 10, Naomi, 8, Miriam, 6, Malka, 5, Ovadia, 3, and Benayahu, only 10 months old.
Raziel, who worked as a mohel (who performs the circumcision of babies) and volunteered in Magen David Adom (MDA), was murdered in a drive-by shooting near Havat Gilad. He was rushed to the Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba, where he was declared dead.
Shortly after the terror attack, while making her way to the hospital, his wife Yael told Ynet: “He called me and said ‘I’ve been shot, call an ambulance.’ I’m still horrified by the ease with which they shoot us like this.”
The manhunt for the Muslim terrorists continued into the night, with IDF troops searching the area surrounding Havat Gilad.
Forces from the Samaria Territorial Brigade, with the help of Special Forces, surrounded villages in the Shechem area and conducted random searches of vehicles coming in and out of the villages.
The army also decided to send reinforcements to the area, deploying forces from the Oz Brigade (known as the Commando Brigade) and the Golani Brigade.
IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot arrived at the scene of the attack on Wednesday morning and was briefed by commanders in the area.

The Luke Commission is the group that we are doing our medical missions trip to Swaziland with this June. This is the latest newsletter from Dr. Harry and Echo Vanderwal, the family who started the Luke Commission. The interviews are very eye opening. We especially like the part about "deworming", and it is amazing they give out thousands of packets a day to the Swazi people as preventative medicine.

Honda is planning to unveil the next generation Pilot SUV at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show. Well the car will only be a concept/prototype but insiders say it will basically be the next Pilot.
The prototype Pilot will feature a redesign, emphasizing “clever interior packaging,” as well as safety, fuel efficiency and convenience technologies, according to a press release by North American Honda. It will showcase a lot of new forward thinking ideas.
Honda assembles the Pilot at its Lincoln, Alabama, plant. Through November, the automaker produced 110,181 Pilots in Alabama and the model has been a steady seller. But overall Pilot production in North America is down because Honda ended production of the vehicle in it’s Alliston, Ontario plant.
The new Pilot should be a hit with the same crowd that bought the old one.
