H Peacock delves into the latest Minecraft world of 1.18: Caves and Mountains
Minecraft is a multi-player game that has millions of young and old players building and exploring its block worlds. It is a sandbox game which means there are no limitations on the character’s world or what they can create. The latest update - Caves and Mountains - have made it even more compulsive.
This recent update has introduced numerous fantastic new items to the game. Many players have been waiting patiently for this update as which was originally leaked quite some time ago, and it has finally finished the Caves and Cliffs update pack. The 1.18 update provides the players with lots of new ideas for builds, and so much more.
Some of the new additions in this update are new include immense mountains, reaching extreme heights and vast caves that stretch down beyond zero to Y -64! (Y is the axis showing the depth or height of the world). Stone will now transition to deep slate and certain types of ores and structures still generate in the deepslate, as well as “tuff” – a type of stone and gravel. This creates a whole new world of possibilities for Minecraft fans.
Mountains will now appear in six sub-biomes: Meadows, Groves, Snowy Slopes, Jagged Peaks, Frozen Peaks and Stony Peaks. With Pillager (a character in the game who raid villages) Outposts generating in them all.
The first part of the Mountain Pack is Snowy Slopes. These generate at the base of a mountain, specifically when it is next door to a plains or snowy tundra biome. They are often covered in snow, snow blocks or powdered snow. It is only possible for rabbits and goats to spawn in this area, although igloos can generate in this biome.
This recent update has introduced numerous fantastic new items to the game.
Then there are Jagged Peaks. These are one of the three peak sub-biomes that generate in the mountain peak biome. They are covered in snow blocks and stone, and tend to generate in sharp, jagged pieces in areas with snowy, cold and temperate climates. Only goats can spawn in this biome.
Next in the mountain pack are Frozen Peaks; these are also one of the three that generate in mountain peaks. They are covered in snow, snowy blocks, ice and packed ice. They generate in smoother, less jagged peaks in areas with snowy, cold and temperate climates - again only goats can spawn here.
Finally, the mountainous pack finishes with Snowy Peaks, which are the last of the three sub-biomes that generate in mountain peaks. They can generate in the mountain and are covered in stone, gravel and strips of calcite. They generate in any peaks that are surrounded by warm biomes, such as jungles and savannahs - this is to avoid temperature clashes. No animals can spawn in this area.
Thank you for reading our guide and NewsKnight hopes you enjoy this new version of Minecraft... Happy Mining!

Peace Fund Radio Ep #29: Shred Kids Cancer
Peace meets Perestroika when Ethan holds down the fort in the studio and Adrian joins us by phone from Moscow! After a discussion about battery safety for young children, Midwest correspondent John Bierly helps us welcome Hero of the Week Teagan Stedman for an interview about Shred Kids' Cancer (shredkidscancer.org), a charity he founded when he was just 8 years old. Teagan tells us why pediatric cancer is all too often ignored, and he explains how he turned his initial idea to help a friend into a lasting effort that has attracted the help of major rock stars and raised over $100,000 for pediatric cancer causes.


From cosmic ray studies, there is compelling evidence that the world
of low-energy phenomena investigated in great details over several
decades is complemented by a high energy world, being a terra incognita
with respect to its origin. The origin of the high energetic cosmic
radiation can be explored only by neutral, stable probes, i.e by gamma
rays and neutrinos pointing back to their sources. Unlike gamma-rays
neutrinos can escape regions of particle acceleration strongly
shadowed by matter. In addition, neutrinos can reach us from the
most distant parts of the observable Universe, whereas high energy
gamma-rays are absorbed by interstellar light. On the other hand, the
weakness of neutrino interactions makes detection to be extremely
difficult and requires huge detectors which should be reliable
protected against background.
The history of underground detectors for natural neutrino fluxes
started with the pioneering detectors in India (1965),
South Africa (1965) and in the Northern Caucasus (1978)
and led to armed giants with effective areas of 1000 square meters
(MACRO, Italy), and
sensitive volume of more than 20000 tons (SUPERKAMIOKANDE, Japan).
These detectors allow to investigate a wide spectrum of problems in
the fields of neutrino astrophysics, elementary particle physics and
cosmic ray physics. Nevertheless existing underground detectors were
not able to detect high energy neutrinos from cosmic accelerators. So,
a key question of modern astrophysics - what is the nature of
cosmic high energy world ? - has still to be considered to be
One is forced to considerable increase the sensitivity of neutrino
telescopes. This, in turn, dictates the creation of principally larger
scales and goes beyond the constructional possibilities of current
underground techniques. One of the solutions of this dilemma is to
develop underwater detectors which use the giant water masses of natural
basins as shield against downward going background, target and detecting
The idea to construct big water Cherenkov detectors for neutrino
astrophysics deep underwater was firstly formulated in 1960 by M.A.Markov.
These telescopes consist of a lattice of photomultipliers (PMTs)
spread over a large open volume in the ocean or in a lake. High energy
neutrinos can be detected by upward traveling muons produced in neutrino
interactions in water close to the detector. With the angle between parent
high energy neutrino and muon being very small astronomy with degree
resolution is possible. The direction of the particle is inferred from
the measured arrival times and amplitudes of the Cherenkov photons.
Technologies for underwater telescopes have been pioneered by the
Baikal collaboration and by the
In the mean time, two underwater/ice detectors are taking data: the
Baikal telescope and the
AMANDA telescope at the South Pole. Also, the projects
ANTARES in the Mediterranean
have joined the efforts towards an underwater neutrino telescope.
The scientific goals of underwater telescopes are manifold. The basic
motivation is to do high energy neutrino astronomy. Beyond the field of
neutrino astronomy, the diverse scientific missions of underwater telescopes
include the search for neutrinos emerging from the annihilation of Weakly
Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in the center of the Earth or the sun,
the search for neutrino oscillations, or for slowly moving, bright particles
like GUT magnetic monopoles. They can contribute to such different fields
like atmospheric muon physics on the one hand and - for a lake-based
telescope - limnology on the other hand.
The possibility to build a neutrino telescope in Lake Baikal was investigated
since 1980, with the basic idea to use - instead of a ship - the winter ice
cover as a platform for assembly and deployment of instruments. After first
small size tests, in 1984-90 single-string arrays
GIRLYANDA equipped with 12 - 36 PMTs were deployed and
operated via a shore cable. The total life time for these
first generation detectors made up 270 days.
On the methodical side, underwater and ice technologies were developed,
optical properties of the Baikal water as well as the long-term variations
of the water luminescence were investigated in great details.
Since 1987, a second generation detector
with the capability to identify muons from neutrino interactions was
envisaged. According to the approximate number of PMTs this detector
was named NT-200 - Neutrino Telescope with 200
PMTs. With estimated effective area of about 2300 square meters and 8500
square meters for 1-TeV and 100-Tev muons, respectively, it is a first stage
of a future full-scale telescope, which will be built stepwise, via
intermediate detectors of rising size and complexity.
The Baikal Neutrino Telescope NT-200 is being deployed
in Lake Baikal, 3.6 km from shore at a depth of 1.1 km. It consist
of 192 optical modules (OMs). The umbrella-like frame of 43 m diameter carries
the 8 strings with the detector components. The detetector is connected with
the shore center by 3 bottom cables.
In April 1993, the first part of NT-200, the detector
NT-36 with 36 OMs at 3 short strings, was put into operation
and took data up to March 1995. A 72-OMs array, NT-72, run
in 1995-96. In 1996 it was replaced by the four-string array
NT-96. Summed over 700 days effective life time,
320,000,000 muon events have been collected with
NT-36, -72, -96. The first neutrino events have been
selected. Since April 6, 1997, NT-144, a six-string array
with 144 OMs, taked data in Lake Baikal.
NT-200 array is completed in April, 1998.

Worldline, the European market leader in payment and transaction services, is taking the lead in shaping the future of payments.
Quantum Computing and its impact on payments
Worldline believes that Quantum Computing is rapidly becoming one of the most in-demand technologies and one which is likely to have a major impact on the payment industry. Quantum computers take computing power to a new level and it will be incredibly more powerful (by factor of hundreds, thousands or more) than even the most sophisticated computers in the world. Hence, Quantum computing is also set to change the face of IT security and has the potential to break most of security systems that currently exist, in particular many public-key cryptosystems including worldwide-used RSA, DSA, ECDSA and Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
The incredible speed at which Quantum Computing operates will revolutionise some specific processing beyond recognition. Whilst the technology is not immediately going to change the way the world uses computers as part of their daily life, Quantum Computing capabilities will have a direct effect on electronic payment security as the enhanced processing speed means it is capable of breaking encryptions that up until now built the digital pillars of payments and transactions. Customers, retailers, governments and banks will be exposed to a much greater risk of payment breaches as this technology becomes available.
Quantum-Resistant Cryptography Initiative
Worldline contributes to designing the payment security systems of the future and working towards future-proofing what the security needs.
The Worldline Research & Development crypto team works together with academics, technology laboratories and industrials within the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the U.S. Department of Commerce to create more advanced cryptography that is designed to protect against the possibility of quantum computing breaching existing IT and payment security protocols.
As the only team representing the payments industry, Worldline is at the forefront of securing payments by playing major role in creating standards of quantum-resistant security. With this initiative, Worldline is taking the lead in ‘futuring’ secure payments.
Nicolas Kozakiewics, Chief Innovation Officer of Worldline, states:
“Quantum computing is no longer a science fiction, it is science fact and these computers are getting more powerful every day. As we design the payment security systems of the future, we need to be thinking about how powerful these computers will be, and working towards future-proofing our security needs. We are very proud as Worldline is a part of the worldwide project established by NIST to address Quantum risk in payments and develop Quantum-Resistant Cryptographic tools to protect payments from Quantum attacks that we believe are not at all unlikely “

Additional information has been released in the investigation into a state trooper-involved shooting near Moorhead Monday.
According to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension 30-year-old Melody Gray, of Milwaukee, allegedly pulled a gun on a trooper who'd stopped to help after her vehicle spun out Interstate 94.
Court documents say the incident happened when the trooper discovered the car was stolen and tried to arrest the male passenger, 29-year-old Domonique Crayton, also of Wisconsin.
Authorities said Gray, who was the driver, tried to shoot the trooper, but the gun didn't fire. That's when the trooper shot Gray in the arm.
Investigators said she then took off into a nearby field but was found and taken to the hospital, where she remained Thursday morning.
According to a criminal complaint, Gray was charged by warrant with first-degree attempted murder, unlawfully possessing a firearm and receiving stolen property.
Crayton is in the Clay County Jail on first-degree damage to property, receiving stolen property, giving an officer a false name/birthdate/identification card, and obstructing the legal process charges, according to a criminal complaint.
Both Crayton and Gray have outstanding warrants in Wisconsin for felony charges including kidnapping.
The Minnesota trooper involved has been identified as Mark Peterson. He was not hurt and is on standard, paid leave as the investigation continues. The BCA reports there is dash cam video of the shooting.

The WIA-PA standard is developed for process automation in industrial wireless network by China. In WIA-PA, the wireless resources include the channel and time slot resources for intra-cluster and inter-cluster communication. In order to meet the requirements of the high interference resistance, low-latency and high reliability in industrial network communication, it adopts frequency hopping communication mechanism and TDMA access mode. In this paper, we focus on the strategy of inter-cluster communication resources assignment. The problem can be translated to graph coloring and solved by the algorithm based on Set Theory. Experimental results show that the algorithm plays a good performance in the channel and time slot resources allocation.

Earthmover was created using a piece of Bristol paper, two Micron pens, and two of my own personal stock/texture images. I used no references for this piece, which proved exceedingly difficult. I’ve always been extremely opposed to drawing earth, rock, trees, etc. but once I broke though the wall of that aversion I discovered I actually quite enjoy it, and can honestly say this is my favorite piece I’ve ever done.
The inspiration for this piece partially came from the JK Flesh track I named it after: “Earthmover” from Justin Broadrick’s album Posthuman.

What has a bird got to do with cheese?
In this case, everything!
De Fryske, a new premium entrant into the highly competitive Dutch cheese market needed to make first impressions count and clearly communicate its story, purpose and promise to consumers from the start. With sustainable farming central to the company ethos, our identity needed to reflect both the quality and strength of the cheese alongside their commitment to the environment.
At this point, in steps the godwit; migratory wader and increasingly rare visitor to Friesland. With industrial farming encroaching upon suitable habit, De Fryske is pioneering a fallow initiative to ensure meadow regeneration is an ongoing part of the dairy farming cycle, which has encouraged the bird, amongst other wildlife to return.
As a representation of the region, the pride of the people, the love of the land and the age-old traditions for making good cheese, she became the perfect symbol and now sits "pride of place" in our main lock-up.

- POOJA AGRAWAL SURESH KASHYAP VIKAS CHANDRA PANDEY SURAJ PRASAD KESHRI
- International Journal of Innovative Research in Computer and Communication Engineering ico_openaccess
Abstract:The sequential pattern mining on progressive databases is very new approach, in which many researchers progressively discover the sequential patterns in period of interest. Period of interest is a sliding window continuously advancing as the time goes by. As the focus of sliding window changes, the new items are added to the dataset of interest and obsolete items are removed from it and become up to date. In general, the existing proposals do not fully explore the real world scenario, such as items associated with support in data stream applications such as market basket analysis. Thus mining important knowledge from supported frequent items becomes a non trivial research issue. This paper present the various works done on progressive sequential pattern mining .This paper presents a review of sequential pattern-mining techniques in the literature. This paper classifying sequential pattern-mining algorithms based on important key features supported by the techniques. This classification aims at understanding of sequential pattern-mining problems, current status of provided solutions, and direction of research in this area. This paper also tries to provide a comparative performance analysis of many of the key techniques.

“In order to solve the environmental pollution caused by industrial development and resolutely implement the sustainable development advocated by the national government, green energy is now receiving more and more attention, especially solar energy. As a green energy source, it is pollution-free and energy-saving. Electromagnetic induction lamp is also a green light source, long life and high luminous efficiency can save a lot of electricity and maintenance costs. In this paper, combining the advantages of the two, the LVD type solar electromagnetic induction lamp is developed.
In order to solve the environmental pollution caused by industrial development and resolutely implement the sustainable development advocated by the national government, green energy is now receiving more and more attention, especially solar energy. As a green energy source, it is pollution-free and energy-saving. Electromagnetic induction lamp is also a green light source, long life and high luminous efficiency can save a lot of electricity and maintenance costs. In this paper, combining the advantages of the two, the LVD type solar electromagnetic induction lamp is developed.
2 The principle of LVD solar electromagnetic induction lamp
As shown in Figure 1: The structure of the LVD solar electromagnetic induction lamp is mainly divided into 4 modules. The first is a solar battery module to realize the conversion of solar energy to electric energy; the second is a control circuit to control solar cells and storage batteries. Between charging and discharging, the battery supplies power to the load, and the protection and control of the safe operation of the system; the third part is the battery, and the electric energy converted from solar energy is stored in the battery; the fourth part is the electromagnetic induction light source. The four parts are introduced below.
2.1 Solar cells
Solar cells are devices that can convert sunlight into voltage. They have one thing in common, that is, input specific light to these devices, and a photoelectric effect will occur to convert light energy into electrical energy. As shown in Figure 2, the solar cell is formed by pressing two different doped materials to form a pn junction. Under the irradiation of the characteristic wavelength of sunlight, a certain potential difference will be formed between the n region and the p region. This potential difference Determines the large supply voltage of the battery. If the battery is connected up and down to form a loop, the solar battery can supply power to the load.
In principle, as long as the solar battery and the load are directly connected to the load to supply power, the load can work, but in fact, because the solar energy is constantly changing, on the one hand, the power supply time and the load working time may be inconsistent, on the other hand, the load often needs to be It can only work under a certain voltage, and solar cells do not have the ability to provide a constant voltage, so all solar power systems now work with batteries.
For the specific product of light source, LVD electromagnetic induction lamp with solar battery has its unique advantages. Because we know that although solar energy is a green free energy source, the cost of solar cells is very expensive. However, the voltage provided by commonly used solar cells is only about 0.5V. Therefore, in order to make the gas discharge light source work, it is necessary to connect a large number of solar cells in series to provide sufficient voltage, which is very expensive. The LVD electromagnetic induction lamp can work at a very low voltage (it can work normally at 150v), which can greatly reduce the number of solar cells and reduce the cost of the system.
2.2 Control circuit
The control circuit is the center of the system’s work, and its main functions are:
2.2.1 Charge and discharge of the control system
When charging, when the solar battery charges and discharges the storage battery, the electric energy of the storage battery supplies power to the load. Of course, the voltage of the battery is far from meeting the requirements of the load, and the control circuit will boost the output voltage of the battery.
2.2.2 Timed work
The working time of the system can be automatically set. When the battery power is insufficient or the output voltage is too low, the load is automatically cut off and the solar battery is controlled to charge the battery.
2.2.3 Protection function
The control circuit can realize the protection of the system. When the system has problems, such as load short circuit, open circuit, battery reverse connection, overcharge, etc., it will automatically cut off line 3.
The solar battery mentioned above cannot directly supply power to the load. The electric energy must be stored in the storage battery. The storage battery supplies power to the load, but the voltage of the storage battery cannot be applied to the solar battery. It must be ensured that the charging between the solar battery and the storage battery is one-way . A very simple method is to add a Diode between the solar cell and the battery, as shown in Figure 3.
2.2.4 LVD electromagnetic induction lamp
LVD induction electrodeless fluorescent lamp is a new type of light source made by the principle of H-type discharge. Its structure is composed of a high-frequency generator, a power coupling coil, and an electrodeless fluorescent tube. The high-frequency energy generated by the high-frequency generator is coupled to the plasma in the lamp tube through the power coupling coil, which excites the plasma and converts the light through the phosphor.
The battery power is boosted to power the LVD electromagnetic induction lamp. Because the high-frequency generator of the LVD electromagnetic induction lamp has a boost circuit inside, it greatly reduces the power supply voltage requirements of the battery. The system only needs to provide 150v Voltage, LVD electromagnetic induction lamp can work normally. This allows the number of solar cells required by the system to be greatly reduced, and the cost is also reduced.
3 Application examples
The electromagnetic induction lamp using 80w solar battery can work for about 5 hours per night under the rated power of 40w under the annual average sunshine condition, which can basically meet the requirements of night lighting. If the LVD solar electromagnetic induction lamp is combined with the city power supply, when the battery power is sufficient, it will be powered by the solar battery, and when the battery power is insufficient, it will be powered by the city power supply, which can greatly improve the stability and scope of application of the system.
LVD solar electromagnetic induction lamp closely integrates solar technology and induction lamp technology, makes full use of the advantages of both parties, and is a new energy-saving and environmentally-friendly product. Another advantage of its application in the lighting field is that it can greatly simplify the cumbersome lighting wiring problem, and each light source is an independent working system. With the continuous development of solar technology and induction lamp technology, the performance of this new product will definitely continue to improve, and it will do a lot in the future lighting field.

What Does the Evolving Security Order Mean for Russia, Europe, and the U.S.?
October 14, 2018 by Editor
By Katie Rumer
It is going to get worse before it gets better. One panel member at the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ (CSIS) event on October 3 titled, “Russia and the Evolving European Security Order” summed up the current picture of the world security order in this way. The other participants agreed. This panel, which was moderated by Olga Oliker, Senior Adviser and Director of the Russia and Eurasia Program at CSIS, consisted of experts on security in Europe and Russia. The perspectives of Russian, the United States, and Europe were all represented. Panelists were Ivan Timofeev and Andrey Kortunov of Russian International Affairs Council (RIAC), Constanze Stelzenmüller, a Senior Fellow at the Center on the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution, William Hill, Professor of National Security Strategy at the National War College and Global Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center, and Michael Kofman, a Senior Research Scientist for the Russia Studies Program at CNA.
The panel addressed questions from Oliker, then the audience, regarding the evolving security interests in Europe in light of the many changes that the global stage is undergoing at the present time. There was also a focus on how Russia and the U.S. interact with the continent, how this has changed since the Cold War, and how it may continue to change over the next several years. Rising popularity of nationalist movements and the proliferation of third-party actors in the global security system, along with the continuation of military conflict in the world, has forced traditional state actors to rethink their place in the international system, and this includes their treatment of international law.
One of the first questions that Oliker posed to the panel was whether we are currently facing a new Cold War with Russia. Opinions on this topic varied widely. Andrey Kortunov, the Director General of RIAC, expressed his view that there is no real devolution of relations between Russia and Europe and the U.S., since the Ukraine conflict has deescalated and Russia’s economy has rebounded from sanctions imposed by the U.S. and E.U. countries. Kortunov asserted that the changes in the international framework from the mid to late 20th century to the present day, including the rise in non-state actors and de-emphasis on the hierarchy of military alliances, make this comparison ineffective.
Constanze Stelzenmüller had a different take than the assessment by the Russian policy expert. In her answer, she highlighted the escalatory logic we are currently seeing on the continent and noted that this is the deepest divide we have seen in the transatlantic relationship with Europe. Ms. Stelzenmüller pointed out the Skripal incident as an example of this sort of escalation. This incident involved the poisoning of a former Russian spy, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter, with a Novichok nerve agent on a park bench in England. After the U.K. determined that the origin of the nerve agent was Russia, Prime Minister Theresa May led a successful campaign in the E.U. to denounce Russia over the incident, which violated U.K. sovereignty. This led to the E.U. withdrawing its Ambassador to Moscow, and many other European countries and the U.S. following suit with their own expulsion of Russian diplomats. The event reduced prospects of economic sanctions against Russia being lifted anytime soon and represented a classic case of a reciprocal diplomatic escalation of tensions between Russia, Europe, and the U.S.
Mr. Kortunov expressed his belief that the E.U. has relied on the U.S. too much in leading the way on international issues, and that this has made the region unprepared for a new agenda. He pointed out climate change as an issue that requires international cooperation, including Russian participation, to solve, which Professor Hill echoed. This issue in particular is a challenge for international cooperation, since lack of participation from the U.S. hurts the ability of international climate change institutions to capacity-build, in addition to the physical impacts of its non-participation. The issue is also closely tied to domestic political divisions in the U.S. Time will tell if the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s report issued on October 8 will have any effect on this division, but if President Trump’s current stance on climate change is an indicator, it is not likely to do so.
Ms. Stelzenmüller also pointedly asserted that Russia is opportunistically exploiting domestic divisions within European states and the U.S. for their own purposes. She also insisted that this approach will have damaging consequences for Russia. Later in the talk, she spoke about the wave identity politics that have resulted in ideological conflict within many countries. She believes that people across Europe and the U.S. are grappling with modernity, and when a leader promises easy solutions as a way to escape the complexity of the modern world, it appeals to the masses. The parallels Ms. Stelzenmüller seemed to be drawing to the issues leading up to World War II, instead of the Cold War, were striking. She stated that people willing to dismantle liberal democracy and pluralism are gaining the upper hand, and that centrist forces are on the defensive, even dumbstruck with fear. The key is to understand what is going on, Ms. Stelzenmüller said, and “I think I know what is happening here and I will be damned if I let it happen.” Looking toward the future, Ms. Stelzenmüller said that European states and the U.S. need to find a constructive middle ground internally with their domestic politics, and that opposing sides need to find empathy for each other in order to achieve a political solution. Of the alternative, she noted: “What we are threatened with is so much larger.”

I love peaceniks - the promoters, purveyors and winners of peace. I celebrate the Nobel Peace Prize with each annual laureate. Yet, deep down, I know peace to be a philosophical fraud. As an ideal, it is invaluable for the individual and the world. That, however, does not in any way mean it is worth half the effort we expend on it as societies.
To my mind, peace is a lull, a period of stagnation, like upon the surface of a pond. A river, though, is not a peaceful thing, because it is always hurrying downstream over rocks, rapids and falls. Ocean shores, on the other hand, are presumed to be places of repose and peace, because their constant ebbs and flows express certainty, repetition and predictability.
Such is a facade that fools the feeble-minded. In their hurry to appear sophisticated, they flock to beaches to seek for peace, in total disregard of the truism that wherever you go, there you are. What peace, I say!
In kind, peace is absence of conflict, strife or disconcerting endeavour. It is acceptance of one's situation, of one's weaknesses and subjugation, or the attainment of a mental ideal. Normally, it is never the weak man that seeks peace. It usually is the strong that promote peace. Because, when peace reigns, the strong rein, and the weak suffer.
But you cannot claim peace if and when that peace is won for you by default - by the stronger ignoring the weaker. Those in ascendancy and in power will sing the praises of peace, until the weak ones take it for a good thing. They praise peace because it promotes their purposes, and as such, is in their own interest. The peace I can invest in is the peace of the weak man; the peace of the downtrodden, which can only be credentialed by the ending of weakness, and the absolute rise of equality.
Surprisingly, the strong man, the endowed man, the rich and powerful man, society or nation will never rest in peace until his or its needs are met. Not until their ambitions are fulfilled. No; not until they get what they must. And the permutations of effort, trial, pacification, treaty, trade, war, annihilation or subterfuge they apply to attain their aims are always such as that disturb the highly vaunted peace.
Credit the resilience of the enduring human spirit for the glory of its hope and the vitality of its dreams, because the wake of the strong is a rancid paean to devastation and desolation. The strong man wreaks harm and horror in the pursuit of his victory. The strong man wins peace at the expense of the weak.
Let me think of it as this: If somebody sought air in the African Savannah, would that be a real pursuit? If you can have peace by doing nothing, and allowing everyone else to do as they deem pleasant, is that really a fair exchange? No.
Societies have peace that are constantly in flux, in self doubt, in an unremitting pursuit of purpose, and in the constant search for meaning. Societies have peace that promise it to all and grant it to all, fairly equally.
Societies win peace by overcoming their challenges and obstacles, by winning their freedoms and exercising them - not by decrees, defeat or silence.
The man is not sincere who advises a poor, hungry and denied compatriot to observe peace. Such advice is fraudulent, because the poor, hungry, and dispossessed man has no peace - he has serious and powerful needs stacked against him.
Indeed, why should such a person be peaceful at all? Who has peace of mind in the presence of hunger, disease, ignorance and poverty? What is peace without opportunity?
Therefore, it is a waste of time pursuing peace, without providing tangible opportunities for each man, according to their desires and hopes. Ultimately, the opportunities available to each man are what will assure societal peace; the chance to live a life after one's own heart; the freedom to live life to the fullness of one's hungers for expression, is the only bulwark of human peace.
Doubtlessly, such free choice will result in some man here or somewhere else oversimplifying their perceptions of freedom, and infringing on the sensibilities and preferences of others. Such fluky exceptions being always in the minority, affirm the conclusion that this pursuit of talents, this uninhibited granting of choices, is the right path ahead.
There really cannot be peace without every person claiming the capacity to win and keep it. Humanity would demand that we address all our personal and communal needs fervently, and afford for all of us the promises of peace, but not necessarily ask men and women to uphold a peace that is absent and unreachable to them.
Whenever citizens are weak and dispossessed, poor and uncatered for, their peace is false. Theirs is no peace at all.
'My Price' is a series of articles about my values as a man, and my views about some of humanity's most important ideas. The articles are not arranged in any order, and address issues as they will occur to me on my journey of life. While I may quote other people or rely on their advice, what I write here is my commission. I hope my price will be a price worth paying.

What does the food you eat have to do with how your brain functions? Turns out an awful lot. While we’ve always known that what we eat affects our bodies and how we look, scientists are also learning more and more that what we eat takes a toll on our brains. Yes, brain foods matter (especially for our gray matter).
Of course, some foods are better for your brain than others. I’ve rounded up 15 brain foods you should be eating to feed both your mind and body. With a mix of fruits, veggies, oils and even chocolate (yes, chocolate!), there’s something to please everyone!

Serving the Lowcountry and Coastal Empire of Georgia and South Carolina.
Wednesday, February 20, 2019
The words “heart-attack” are some of the scariest out there. Especially when you consider the fact that about 610,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year, it’s no wonder so many people are afraid of this health crisis.
“The tricky thing is that so many other symptoms can be confused with a heart attack,” SouthCoast Health Cardiologist Dr. Akinniran Abisogun stated. “Heart burn, a pulled muscle, pancreatitis, muscle spasms, and so many other medical conditions may be misleading to what is truly happening.”
In honor of February being American Heart Month, we’re diving into the biggest signs of heart attacks you should never ignore.
A heart attack happens when something causes the flow of blood to the heart to be blocked. Usually, the biggest culprits are buildup of fat, cholesterol, and other substances that cause plaque to pile up in the arteries.
Unfortunately, if a heart attack occurs outside of a hospital, the survival rate is only 6 percent. That’s why it’s so important to know what the symptoms are and when to get to the emergency room ASAP.
Just as Dr. Abisogun said, it can be confusing when to know if these symptoms are an incoming heart attack or something less sinister. In this case, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, call 911 or get to the nearest emergency room as soon as possible.
If you’d like to learn more about preventative measures you can take, click here to schedule an appointment with one of our primary care physicians.
Whether you are looking for a primary care doctor or a pediatrician, or another medical specialist, SouthCoast Health has you covered with its wide range of world-class healthcare services, available throughout the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry. SouthCoast Health has 120 physicians and medical professionals in 18 locations in Savannah, Richmond Hill, Pooler, Rincon, Baxley, Bluffton, Hilton Head, Hinesville, and Statesboro. SouthCoast Health offers comprehensive medical services including: Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Allergy and Immunology, Cardiology, Endocrinology, Eye Care, Imaging, Infectious Diseases, Nephrology, Neurology, Physical Therapy, Podiatry, Sleep Medicine, Surgery, Clinical Trial Research Studies, Diabetic Self-Management Training Sessions, Dietetic Counseling, High Risk Breast Cancer Clinic, Laboratory Services, Massage Therapy, Optical Shop, Pharmacy, and Urgent Care.

Electric lift desk - Shenzhen Goodlife begins to work on intelligent furniture
- Release on :2015-05-07
We Shenzhen Goodlife have started the research and development of intelligent furniture. Now the first item - an electric lift desk has been created. We code it GLT12061.
GLT12061 is powered by electricity to enable the desk to get down and up. The max height can be 1.4 meter. No matter short or tall people, it can fit them well; people only need to press the electric button to adjust the needed height for them. And there are feet wheels to make this desk easy to move.
There are 3 drawers in the desk for storage. In office, it’s a great work desk, for one person or for group work; people can both sit or stand with it as needed.
For home, besides being a study or computer desk, we make a wall mounted mirror and a table top storage shelf combine with the desk, then it becomes a dressing table for bedroom. People can adjust the desk height as they want.
This electric lift desk is only our first trial of intelligent furniture, and we don’t stop working on this field, customers will see more and more intelligent furniture from us in future.

Welcome to our new web site!
To give our readers a chance to experience all that our new website has to offer, we have made all content freely avaiable, through October 1, 2018.
During this time, print and digital subscribers will not need to log in to view our stories or e-editions.
“Celebrate Authors” will be held 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 19, in the boardroom and Roadrunner Room on the second floor of Thomas Branigan Memorial Library, 200 E. Picacho Ave.
The event is free and open to the public.
Moonbow Alterations and Moonbow’s Book Nook are the event sponsors.
Celebrate Authors 2021 will feature authors from Las Cruces and surrounding area with books published in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
Here is the second group of four authors signed up for this year’s event.
Celebrate Authors started in 2014.
Ellen Roberts Young has been a member of the writing community in Las Cruces since 2004. She has two full-length collections, “Made and Remade” (2014) and “Lost in the Greenwood” (2020), as well as poems in numerous print and online journals. She is an editor of Sin Fronteras/Writers Without Borders Journal. She blogs at www.freethoughtandmetaphor.com and offers her books at ellenrobertsyoung.com.
“I am fortunate to have had two very different books accepted for publication this past year,” Young said. “‘Transported’ (Finishing Line Press) is a chapbook about my childhood travels when my father got a Fulbright grant to teach in Egypt and the way that experience shaped me. ‘Lost in the Greenwood’ (Atmosphere Press) is a collection of poems centered around the Unicorn tapestries of 500 years ago, their art, their mysteries, their world and their fascination.”
“Greenwood” was a finalist in the poetry division of the National Indie Excellence Awards.
Frank Thayer is a Las Cruces author and professor emeritus at New Mexico State University. A New Mexico native, he also taught in Canada for 11 years before returning for a 30-year career at NMSU. Thayer wrote three journalism textbooks during those years. Thayer was an author of the 2015 books “The Aztec UFO Incident” and “Magic in the Desert,” the latter being the story of the undefeated 1960 Aggie football season. Thayer’s fiction focus began in 2016 with “Cobston Trilogy: The Ontario Horror,” followed by “Terror Tales of the Southwest,” then “The Whispering Darkness,” and followed by “The Vampire of San Vicente” in fall 2020 during Covid.
In June 2021, Thayer published a horror novella, “A Taste of Salt.”
Thayer said he is heavily influenced by classic authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft and Arthur Machen. He feels comfortable with one foot in the world of the supernatural, Thayer said.
For something completely different, Thayer is now completing a novel about dysfunctional college administration in the 1960s titled “The Quantum Jump Machine.”
While Thayer is dedicated to classic supernatural horror tales, “this book in preparation reminds readers that some things are just … funny,” he said.
“I wrote my first story at age 6, my first (fairly decent) poem at 12,” Thayer said. “I can’t tell anyone else how to do it or how not to. If it is important to you, you’ll find your way.”
Jack Eakman writes about his passion for leadership and what brings out the best qualities in those we entrust with our futures. His foundation is built upon his education in management and public administration, his experiences as a factory worker, laundry washman, hospital manager and administrator, Las Cruces city councilor (2015-19), member of many boards of directors and mentee, then mentor of many.
Eakman credits “the relatively few leaders who have made positive and dramatic improvements in our daily lives,” he said. He relates the qualities and talents of those leaders that set them apart: “their ability to inspire, ignite self-motivation, set up competent teams, create ground rules that expedite advancement and bring about self-satisfaction and (make) friends and associates for life.”
“Better leaders bring about healthier and more fulfilling lives,” said Eakman, adding that he writes to inspire leaders to bring out the best in others.
Eakman published “Thank You for Leading” in June 2020 and “Thank You for Your Lessons” in December 2020.
Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, Eakman and his two brothers began learning about leadership at a very early age.
Their father was a kosher butcher five days a week and a pastor on Sundays. Their mother taught piano lessons, with their father driving her to students’ homes every Saturday and writing his sermon for the next day while waiting in the car.
“My mother and father became leaders right before my eyes,” Eakman said, “transforming themselves from the effects of backbreaking laborers into spiritual beacons.”
Rosemary Matos spent most of her life in Minnesota. Retirement and sunshine brought her and her husband to Las Cruces nearly four years ago. She has enjoyed writing since being on the newspaper staff in high school.
Journaling, short stories, letters and poetry have been an important part of her life, Matos said. Recently, memoirs and children’s books have become an interesting and fun method of expression, primarily influenced by extended family members and various pets owned by her four children, she said.
Rosemary enjoys reading, traveling, gardening and spending time with her children and grandchildren.
"Writing doesn't come easy to me, but it is worth the effort involved and it brings me to a sense of well-being,” she said. “The next project I have in mind is an epistolary novel, in addition to a series of children’s books."
After many visits to Cuba with her husband, Matos discovered a story needing to be told, she said. The 1950s and ‘60s brought profound changes to Cuba. Her book, “Promises,” is based on the life of a military family and friends of the family during those difficult years in Cuba. Culture, food and revolution are vividly described in this brief history, as are love for family and country. And of course, there is betrayal.
“Promises” is not yet available, but will be published by the time Celebrate Authors is held.

Worst Car Brands Class Action Lawsuits, Recalls Overview:
- Who: A number of recalls and class action lawsuits have been filed against car brands such as Ford, Hyundai, Fiat-Chrysler, General Motors, Tesla and Kia recently.
- Why: The recalls and class action lawsuits have been due to issues with safety and performance, among other things.
- Where: The recalls and class action lawsuits are from around the nation.
American consumers love their cars and can go to great lengths to pick out the perfect set of four wheels.
Consumers are also quick to hold carmakers accountable with numerous class action lawsuits filed over issues related to performance, safety and reliability, among other things.
With that in mind, TCA is taking a look at recent class action lawsuits and recalls, which, according to them, makes these the worst car brands in America:
Fiat Chrysler Faces Claims It Failed To Disclose Vehicle Defect
A class action lawsuit was filed against Fiat Chrysler (FCA) earlier this month by a consumer who claims the automaker failed to disclose a defect in its 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid vehicles.
The alleged defect, which the plaintiff claims there is no remedy for, allegedly causes the vehicles to catch fire and explode.
The class action lawsuit was filed only days after FCA US announced it was recalling more than 370,000 of its Dodge Durango SUVs and Ram 2500 pickup trucks over concerns their warning lights don’t work properly.
FCA warned consumers that the vehicles’ warning lights may not illuminate when they are supposed to if there is a problem.
General Motors Issues Multiple Vehicle Recalls During March
Also this month, General Motors issued a recall for more than 740,000 of its 2010-2017 GMC Terrains over concerns of a glare coming from the vehicles’ lower head lamps.
GM said in its recall that the glare was on account of an issue with the lower head lamps’ housing.
The company also recalled 22 of its 2021 and 2022 C8 Corvette Stingray vehicles this month after discovering they were manufactured with ball bearings missing from their half shafts.
GM said in its recall that the issue could cause the vehicles to lose drive power.
In yet another recall this month, GM said that 10 of its 2022 GMC Hummer EV vehicles were manufactured with defective software affecting their rear tail lamps.
GM said in its recall that the issue could cause the rear tail lamps to either permanently remain on or to become inoperable.
The company had issued another recall in July of last year for more than 50,000 of its Chevy Bolt vehicles due to concerns they could pose a fire risk.
GM said in its recall that a defect in the battery of its model year 2017-2019 Chevy Bolt’s was to blame.
A class action lawsuit was also filed against GM this month over claims that the paint on the automaker’s vehicles is prone to flaking and peeling.
Included in the claim are GM’s model year 2015-2019 Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL and GMC Sierra vehicles.
Ford Issues Several Vehicle Recalls In February Over Concerns
Ford, meanwhile, recalled more than 157,000 of its 2021 Ford F150 pickup trucks due to an issue with their front windshield wiper motor.
The automaker says the issue can cause the windshield wiper to stop working, endangering drivers.
The recall comes on the heels of a February recall initiated by Ford for more than 330,000 of its model year 2015-2017 Ford Mustang vehicles.
Ford initiated the recall over concerns with the vehicles’ backup camera, specifically its camera header connectors and decklid harness.
Also in February, Ford recalled 247,445 of its F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickup trucks after discovering the vehicles’ drive shafts can fracture, causing power loss.
Ford says the issue is caused by the vehicles’ heat and noise insulators, which can become loose and damage the drive shaft by making contact with it.
In early February, it was reported that Ford, along with GM, had the most total recalls and most vehicles recalled, respectively, for the 2021 year.
The majority of the vehicle’s recalled by Ford during the year was on account of an issue with defective Takata airbags.
Hyundai, Kia Issue Recalls Over Vehicle Safety Concerns
Hyundai, meanwhile, initiated a recall this month for 140 of its 2022 Hyundai Elantra and Elantra HEV vehicles due to concerns with the vehicles’ seat belt pretensioners.
In its recall, Hyundai warned drivers that the seat belt pretensioners could explode in the event of an accident.
Also this month, Kia, which is partially owned by Hyundai, announced a second recall for its 2013-2014 Kia Optima sedans.
Kia initiated the recall over concerns that the vehicles could catch on fire due to a defective low-pressure fuel hose.
An issue with faulty seat belt pretensioners was also at the center of a February recall initiated by Hyundai for 354 of its 2020-2021 Hyundai Accent vehicles.
Hyundai said in its recall that, similar to the Hyundai Elantra, the seat belt pretensioners in the vehicles could explode in the event of an accident, injuring the car’s driver and passengers.
Also in February, Hyundai and Kia recalled around 485,000 vehicles over concerns their engines could cause them to catch on fire.
The issue, of which Hyundai and Kia say they have not fully identified the cause, is so significant that the companies have advised owners to park the affected vehicles outside and away from any structures.
Tesla Initiates Recalls In February, Faces Discrimination Claims
Tesla initiated a number of vehicle recalls in February, including for an alleged defect in the windshields of its 2021-2022 Model 3, Model S and Model X vehicles and its 2020-2022 Model Y vehicles.
The recall was initiated over concerns the vehicles’ windshields are unable to properly defrost on account of a software issue.
Tesla also recalled more than 800,000 vehicles in February due to concerns with their seat belt chimes.
The company issued the recall after discovering the seat belt chimes, which are supposed to warn a driver if they are not wearing their seat belt, may not work properly.
Also in February, Tesla recalled nearly 54,000 of its 2016-2022 Model S and Model X vehicles, 2017-2022 Model 3 vehicles and 2020-2022 Model Y vehicles due to a problem with their rolling stop feature.
Tesla initiated the recall due to the rolling stop feature causing a safety issue by allowing the vehicles’ to travel through intersections without stopping.
The company also faced a class action lawsuit in February from a former Tesla construction manager claiming he faced racial discrimination in the workplace.

LAKE FOREST, Calif. (November 24, 2008) – etnies and Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) worked together to bring the etnies GvR skateboarding contest to the Skate 2 video game, and to create an etnies Skate 2 RVM shoe for real world skateboarding. The etnies RVM Skate 2 shoe will be available when the game hits stores in early 2009.
Drawing inspiration from etnies skate heritage, the RVM features the classic etnies Rap styling with a slimmed down mid-top silhouette on a vulcanized outsole and a tonal Skate 2 logo on the outer heel. The RVM also features STI System G2 gel in the heel of the outsole to absorb shock and prevent heel bruises. The shoe will be sold at Zumiez in the United States, and it will be available at select retailers internationally.
"Skate 2 is a celebration of skateboarding and it's really amazing how this game has brought the culture of skateboarding to so many kids. I really liked being a part of the original Skate, and it's cool that they included me in Skate 2." said etnies team rider, Jason Dill. "The game is pretty realistic. I think it is funny to play a virtual me on a video game."

South Africa forged a 175-run lead after pace bowler Vernon Philander carved through England’s batting line-up with a four-wicket haul.
Starting off the day on 277/9, South Africa only added seven runs to their overnight score before they were bowled out for 284 when Philander was caught behind off the bowling of Stuart Broad for 35.
Broad and Sam Curran picked up four wickets apiece, while James Anderson and Jofra Archer chipped in with one wicket each.
Trailing by 284 runs, England got off to a dismal start as opener Rory Burns was caught behind off the bowling of Philander for nine runs.
Dom Sibley, who opened the batting with Burns, only made four runs before he was caught behind off the bowling of Kagiso Rabada.
Joe Denly and captain Joe Root steadied thing with a 55-run partnership before Root was caught behind off the bowling of Philander for 29.
Denly and Ben Stokes added 72 runs to the score Denly was caught behind off the bowling of debutant Dwaine Pretorius for 50, which came off 111 balls and included nine boundaries.
Anrich Nortje clean bowled Jonny Bairstow soon after, while Stokes went on to score 35 before being caught behind off the bowling of Nortje.
Once Stokes was gone, England completely collapsed as they went from 150/6 to being bowled out for 181, which gave South Africa a 103-run lead.
Philander was the most successful bowler with four wickets, while Rabada took three, Nortje got two and Pretorius claimed one.
With a 103-run lead in hand, South Africa lost Aiden Markram early on in their second innings as he was trapped lbw off the bowling of Anderson for two runs.

Archer picked up two wickets, while Anderson and Broad took one wicket apiece.

Syrian President Bahsar al-Assad received on Thursday Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian.
Assad and Abdollahian welcomed the talks which took place in the Kazakh capital earlier this week, Mehr news agency reported.
The Syria talks were held in Astana on January 23-24. As a result of the talks held in the capital of Kazakhstan, Russia, Iran and Turkey decided to establish a trilateral mechanism to monitor the ceasefire in Syria.
“The success of the agreement represents first step towards securing Syria through fighting terrorism and creating appropriate conditions that lead to launch a national dialogue in which the Syrian themselves will decide the future of their country,” the agency reported.

Or at least the attempt before there was no more chances for me. Positive emotions signal opportunity to meet needs and goals and energize approach. The potency of the stress-response exceeds their innate ability to cope and other coping resources. You can, for example, have abandonment issues without having suffered something traumatizing as a kid. You want to heal and have positive thoughts come into your head without having to force them into your head. We married after only two months of meeting and divorced not long after.
And the more pain you are willing to express, the more pleasure you will feel. The brain is overwhelmed with surges of intense emotions and stimulation via the sympathetic nervous system. Be aware that you have a problem The first step to resolving every problem, including this one, is accepting that the problem is real and that it exists. Fostering More Adaptive Emotional Functioning in Society An examination of our society shows a dramatic swing in the pendulum regarding how we think about negative emotions and who is responsible for regulating them. Pay especially close attention to any dreams you have. Different situations will continue to present themselves in different but repeat patterns until you have dealt with the core issues in your life. They affect all your relationships, and they especially affect your ability to grow spiritually and shift your level of consciousness.
Hi Karen, thanks for openly sharing your story and challenges. Trust me—it will make you feel much better. Cry, allow yourself to cry your feeling. Another example was even more horrifying. Once you have relaxed, feel your heart, be with your heart. Just think of someone you find irresistibly sexy. For instance, are you sad, stressed, angry, anxious, joyful, disappointed, excited or embarrassed? Anger and fear may end up in your stomach, where sadness may end up in your chest.
The emotions in your dreams are the very emotions that you are repressing and burying within. Recovery is often difficult and should be attempted only when the individual is prepared to cope with the memories and emotions that accompany those memories. Physical Manifestation of Emotional Pain While each symptom alone can be challenging to deal with, the one of physical pain that is caused by repressed emotions has the highest probability of affecting your everyday life. I was not yet 2 years old, had just started walking and was walking around the table. It means teach him over time that you have his back.
Used to say only good things about others? I was taught to look for things in my life that I could be grateful for, regardless of the difficulty. This is a moment when you can start forgiving yourself. Pray, meditate, ask them to help you see, understand and release your buried emotions. Fractures show up very bright as there are large deposits of calcium where bones have healed themselves. And how the heck can we work with them? He is passionate about seeing an overall improvement in health and well-being and works compassionately with each client to achieve their wellness goals through chiropractic care. It was awful, and terrifying. The same law applies to our.
Notice if there is a resistance to the way the emotions feel, and just be with that. I told you the story about how I cried my eyes out about all the hatred I had built up in me regarding my stepfather. While you are busy holding in what you are afraid of hurting you, your body is doing whatever it can to protect you. Depending on your situation it may take shorter or longer time to be neutral about the thing you are angry about, but this process is a start. The deepest recesses of our subconscious mind are where our repressed, negative thoughts and emotions linger, causing harm to both our daily thought processes and our body.
Now, weeks or months later, how are those feelings going to manifest themselves? Once you feel your heart has received the love it needs at this time, thank the Universal Heart for sharing its love with you and slowly open your eyes and come back into the present moment. And you feel this resistance in your body. Tell your friends about what hurts you. Well Now 32, I got a picture of him. I feel sad some days… and yes, most therapists think you make it up. Take slow, steady, deep breaths, allowing the emotional energy to flow freely through you. I was diagnosed with depression at 14 years old and have struggled with it ever since so this article makes sense to me in the description of an early cause of brain chemistry being thrown off.
They are not allowed to cry, fail or be weak. It works over and over again. I know that being in a loving partnership has allowed my repressed memories to surface from four years old when I was raped by a family member but forgot. The body gets to eliminate this mental waste. Thoughts are directly related to reactions in the body.

Squads of litter busters will be hitting the streets of Newcastle in a major new initiative to keep neighbourhoods clean.
A network of 27 rapid response trucks will cover every area of the city from Monday, following a successful pilot scheme.
The move follows complaints from residents and the new teams will be in addition to the existing environmental staff.
It is part of a £1 million investment in environmental services agreed to by the city council.
Their duties will include clearing rubbish dumped on the street, removing graffiti, pruning overgrown shrubs and mending broken fences.
As well as responding to calls, they will act on their own initiative to spot and tackle environmental problems in the community.
The experiment was launched in June in Woolsington, South Gosforth, Newburn, Byker, Fawdon, Benwell, Sandyford and Moorside.
Council leader Coun Tony Flynn, said: "The rapid response teams have already proved a hit in parts of the city where it has been piloted and I'm delighted to see the service rolled out to the rest of the city.
"Small things like broken fences, graffiti on street signs and damaged benches and litter bins can combine to make an area look tatty and run down.
"People want to live in clean and tidy neighbourhoods and the rapid response teams have been established in direct response to what the public tells the council they want for their communities."
Ward councillors and environmental stewards will be working with the teams to deal with issues of concern to the community.
In Moorside, one of the pilot areas, local people have been lobbying for extra resources to help keep the area clean.
Local councillor, Nick Forbes, said: "The cleanliness of the area is one of residents' main concerns and this is an extra pair of hands to deal with environmental problems."
Council officials say that if members of the public spot any problems that need tackling they should call the Environcall service on (0191) 274 4000.

Trees are beautiful, but how about dead trees? If you think there’s nothing but decomposing wood, you might change your mind after this post. Below are some stunning photos of dead trees captured by those talented photographers. They are still rotten wood, however, they are more than that. When you look at them, you are looking at a part of history, witnessing the natural change.

The bristlecone pines are three species of pine trees believed to live longer than any other known organism, up to an age of nearly 5,000 years. They’re grow in isolated groves between 1,700 and 3,400 m (5,600 and 11,200 ft) elevation on dolomitic soils. Because of cold temperatures, dry soils, high winds, and short growing seasons, the trees grow very slowly, which gives the tree’s terminal branches the unique appearance of a long bottle brush. For most of us, we probably won’t be able to see those natural wonders personally. Thanks to those adventurous photographs who made their way to bristlecone pines and bring below awesome photos.

Timothy Corbin, a talented self-taught landscape photographer recently captured some stunning photos of frozen Ontario lakeshore. With an eye for light and composition, Timothy is able to capture the natural beauty of what surrounds us everyday which we sometimes take for granted, like the ice-laden lakeshore photos presented below. You can find more shots on Timothy’s site. [source]
Simultaneously eerie and enchanting, the mist-filled forests photograph were captured by brothers Andrei and Sergiu Cosma of PhotoCosma who live and work in Romania. A haunting overtone encompasses these images making it look as if this were the real Sleepy Hollow or the location of the Blair Witch Project. Truly remarkable work! [source]

TTP (tristetraprolin) is an RNA-binding protein that suppresses inflammation by accelerating the degradation of cytokine mRNAs. TTP binds to an AU-rich element in the 3′-untranslated region of its target mRNAs. In macrophages, the induction of cytokine expression requires activation of the p38-MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase)–MK2 [MAPKAP (MAPK-activated protein) kinase-2] kinase cascade. MK2 directly phosphorylates TTP and thereby contributes to transient stabilization of cytokine mRNAs. In the present review, we address the target specificity of TTP, summarize TTP-interacting proteins and discuss how phosphorylation regulates the activity, localization and stability of TTP.

A pic would be great, because I don't think anybody knows what on Earth you're talking about.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but are you sure you're looking at the drain plug, rather than 1.) the bolts that hold the two halves of the transmission together, or 2.) the bolts that hold the tranny to the engine?
Problem solved, the 2 "Plugs" are in fact part of the housing casting. They do have hex type heads but are not plugs. Poor lighting and failing close up vision are the problem. Sorry for the confussion and thanks for the attempted help. I see the correct plug for draining stashed up between the housing and mount. Thanks again.
Here's some pics from my SVT the layout should be similar.
This is the fill plug, this should be removed first. If you remove the drain plug first in the event that your car is driven in the salt belt the fill plug may be siezed. If this happens you will have removed the drain plug, drained all the fluid and now will have no way to replace it.
Next use a hex socket to remove the fill plug.
Then remove the drain plug and collect the fluid.
Here is the drain plug.
There are a few ways to fill the tranny back up. I used a funnel with a silicon hose going down through the engine compartment by the battery and coilpack. If the car is on jack stands or an un-level floor be careful not to overfill the tranny. Overfilling will generate a lot of heat and may damage a lot of expensive components.
The Focus has a transaxle, so the differential and transmission are combined into one unit. There's no separate differential to drain and fill like on rear- or all-wheel-drive.
I think all Foci with the MTX-75 need 2.1 quarts of fluid. I know the Ford spec is for the fluid to be within 5mm of the bottom of the fill hole. And, as was already mentioned, make sure you check the fluid with the vehicle level.
As for what fluid to use, our semi-resident guru, Terry Haines (KogboxKing) seems to like:
1.) Mobil 1 + Ford synthetic friction modifier
2.) Ford "honey" + friction modifier
The "honey" is XT-M5-QS, and the friction additive is XL-7. I think.
Thanks for the pictures, my tranny looks slightly different
but the point is clear.
I used the Motorcraft XT-M5-QS without any additional additives, shifts fine in all gears.However the slight fluttering sound that I've been told is gear rollover is still there.

FELIKSAS BAJORAS (b 1934 )
Feliksas Romualdas Bajoras (b. 1934) began his musical training in Kaunas with Vincas Bacevičius, the father of two eminent composers, Grazyna Bacewicz and Vytautas Bacevičius. After graduating from the Lithuanian State Conservatory (now the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre) as a violinist in 1957, he joined the Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra (now the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra) and soon tried his hand in composing popular songs for light music orchestra, a genre favoured by the establishment of the time. The taste of creative work incited him to pursue professional studies in composition under Prof. Julius Juzeliūnas; he completed his studies in 1963. Even after he turned to ‘serious’ music, Bajoras continued writing popular songs occasionally, and performed them himself quite often.
Bajoras’ works seem somewhat autobiographical. One significant influence in his music comes from Lithuanian folk songs. Bajoras values the manner of singing, regional dialects and semantics over the melody. For him melody is encoded in ‘articulation’ which in turn represents the most authentic human emotional experience.
From the outset of his career, Bajoras took active interest in modern compositional techniques, including dodecaphony and aleatory. However, he never embraced such techniques in an orthodox manner. What really lies at the core of his music, are his interests in the expressive potential of a melody, the meaning of a musical phrase, dialogue between melodies, the overall language and its meaning. Melodic structures in his music appear as prominent signs or symbols of a musical discourse. Such ‘narratives’ abound in Bajoras’ works: in his opera Lamb of God (that the soviet Lithuanian Opera and Ballet Theatre once refused to stage due to ideological reasons), oratorios (The Raising of the Bell and Under This Roof), orchestral works, cantatas, sacred works, songs and chamber pieces. Each work bears a programmatic title and develops a certain theme, and captures the composer’s vision.
