Every one knew it was a running day, except Geoff the Sec. So he worked for a while, until he got fed up with that game. Late in the day he borrowed the 80 Class to rumble around with a satisfyingly long rake of freight cars.
First to hit the track was Paul with a new model of one of Britain's classic locos of the 19th century - the Dean goods. A lovely little model, by Oxford (better known as makers of model cars), this hauled a rake of battered, weathered wagons around until Paul deemed that it was now run in. Then it was the turn of some equally battered and weathered 2-6-4 T to haul them around.
Derek continued to solder wires here and there without causing very many shorts, and I was sorting out those freight cars that rolled freely from those that did not. That done, Marco Porter was able to move enough of them to fill any given siding at Stanley Creek. Geoff the Sec told me that the "stiff" ones are mostly 50 years old, and have not turned a wheel for the past 40 years. "Fix it, dear Henry", etc.
Jack ran his HO r/c battery powered diesel and, over tea, sought advice on how to do similar in G gauge. He received advice, but I am not sure if it helped.
Geoff the Pres had the impressive 2-10-0 "Evening Star" that flatters but to deceive. The motor is actually in a rather lightweight tender that produced a lot of gear noise and wheelspin and very little forward motion when four lighted carriages were hooked on behind. Similar problem to the freight cars - one carriage in particular was hard to drag because of high friction from the pickups that powered the lights. In contrast, his little 0-4-2 T just purred around.
Greg had a little video camera on a wagon that was being pushed around by some anonymous looking diesel of the BR persuasion, and Rod had a different BR diesel that put in a late appearance.
George had a Southern Pacific F? diesel that struggled to haul 3 or 4 (should pay more attention) "heavyweight" passenger cars. I attribute most of the struggle to dirty wheels on the loco that combined with every speck of dirt on the track to bring proceedings to a halt. At least it did point out a few spots where glue had made its way onto the rails. Earlier, the Dean goods had identified every main line point where the moving rail was not making adequate contact with the fixed one. Diesels tend to bridge these gaps whereas 0-6-0s do not.
Judy and Martin did not bring anything to run, but Judy unloaded flyers for the show to all who would take a few, and passed a pile of old club paperwork to Geoff the Sec, who is compiling a rational record of Club activities since our formation. She also mentioned that the Show is now listed on a social website https://www.weekendnotes.com/
model-train-show-phillip- island-district-railway- modellers-inc/ so you are encouraged to visit that, make sure to get to end of the article and "like" it.
Don't forget to bring a spot of tucker next week, and we will have another laid back day of doing not a lot.

Gas drilling hearing serves purpose if premise is pure
When it comes to gas drilling in the Loyalsock State Forest, the questioning seems to be without end.
State Rep. Greg Vitali, a Havertown Democrat and chairman of the Housing Environmental Resources and Energy Committee, held a news conference last week to call on Gov. Tom Corbett to hold public hearings about proposed natural gas development in the Loyalsock State Forest.
We support having those hearings. The natural gas drilling industry is bolstered, not threatened, by extra diligence to make sure it is doing business in an environmentally safe manner.
But let’s be clear.
Two gas producers own 50 percent of the subsurface rights on which they have requested access to extract natural gas.
And on 7,000 of the 25,000 acres, the companies claim the state cannot prohibit surface access.
So the hearings serve a purpose if they are a forum of legitimate concerns. But they don’t serve a purpose if they are geared to being a gotcha witchhunt full of unsubstantiated allegations.
As long as the hearings are being held for the right purpose, we are all for the public being fully informed about plans for drilling in the Loyalsock State Forest.
But the natural gas industry in this state already is heavily regulated and correctly so. To date, the industry has a pretty solid environmental record.
So hearings based on the assumption that the industry is going to destroy the forest are hearings being held on the wrong premise.
Let the public be informed, but don’t hold hearings simply to push an incorrectly conceived agenda.

Two set photos and two new images from Christopher Nolan’s Inception have landed online. Described by Hero Complex as “Hollywood’s first existential heist film,” the flick certainly looks different and you have to take time to applaud a big budget film that’s not based on an existing property (although Nolan will follow up Inception with Batman 3).
Hit the jump to check out the new images plus remarks on the film by stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, and Cillian Murphy. Inception hits theaters on July 16th.
Here’s what DiCaprio had to say about the unconventional narrative:
“Complex and ambiguous are the perfect way to describe the story,” DiCaprio said in a recent phone interview. “And it’s going to be a challenge to ultimately pull it off. But that is what Chris Nolan specializes in. He has been able to convey really complex narratives that work on a multitude of different layers … and make it entertaining and engaging throughout. You look at ‘Insomnia’ or ‘Memento,’ these movies are working on so many different levels. That’s his expertise; it’s what he does best, as a matter of fact.”
Murphy remarks that Inception goes places that other fantasy films can’t because Inception is set in the mind:
“It’s the fantasy world, but it’s the one that the mind itself can create or fall into, so the audience can access it in a different way than these other movies where you go to another planet or something,” Murphy said. “It’s the place the mind goes, and it’s often very dark and always interesting.”
As for Page, she talks about how the story, as complex as its setting may be, doesn’t confound and is always grounded in a “tangible realism” that makes the film feel honest despite its surreal tone:
“There’s a tangible realism even when it gets crazy, and somehow that makes the jeopardy feel more real,” Page said. “It’s like reading a Haruki Murakami novel — it’s fantasy, but instead of feeling like some strange surreal world it feels very honest. The emotional spine of the story is there too, which is the key to his movies. There’s the big scale, but the sincerity isn’t left behind. The story is complicated but never confusing.”

Lawsuit over 2010 plane-crash death targets airport
A lawsuit filed against the Jacksonville Airport Authority contends the negligent and improper actions of airport authority representatives contributed to the Dec. 22, 2010, death of a student pilot in a suburban Chicago plane crash.
The legal action, which presents only one side of a case, was filed in Morgan Circuit Court against the airport authority, which operates Jacksonville Municipal Airport. Similar lawsuits by David VanHyning against pilot Todd Cole and plane owner G. Ronald Kesinger have been settled.
VanHyning’s 18-year-old son, Benjamin, was in a 1978 Cessna Sierra aircraft that Cole was ferrying to Jacksonville for Kesinger. Within minutes of takeoff from Chicago Executive Airport in Wheeling, Cole reported losing power and tried to return to the airport but crashed a half mile away.
Benjamin VanHyning died in the crash; Cole was severely burned. Benjamin VanHyning worked at the Jacksonville Municipal Airport and was an Illinois College student.
The wrongful death lawsuit recapitulates allegations made in a lawsuit filed in 2011 against the airport authority. That suit was dismissed without prejudice, meaning it could be re-filed. It maintains Benjamin VanHyning should not have been on the aircraft because Cole was not properly licensed for the flight because he was not a commercial pilot but was being compensated for the flight and had a passenger on board. Cole also had little experience flying that type of aircraft.
Past mechanical problems and a recent overhaul of the aircraft also should have given Jacksonville Airport Authority agents reason enough to keep Benjamin VanHyning off the plane “when it knew or should have known it was not safe, suitable or proper to do so due to the condition of the aircraft.”
In addition, the aircraft was flown little or not at all since an October 2010 engine overhaul after which the engine was not running properly, according to the lawsuit, but “instead of cancelling the flight until safety could be assured, the JAA aviation professionals decided the [plane] should merely stop for a safety check in Schaumburg, Illinois, before flying on to Jacksonville Municipal Airport.”
The plane had also been stored outside and accumulated a substantial amount of snow and ice and was not properly de-iced.
“The situation was irregular, unlawful and risky,” according to the lawsuit.

Kalamazoo leaders vote on a new city budget Monday
On Monday, the Kalamazoo City Commission is scheduled to vote on its city budget.
The budget plan commissioners will vote on reflects Kalamazoo’s basic problem: rising legacy costs.
Much of the more than $2 million budget gap is due to the increasing costs of retiree health care.
The budget covers much of the gap with one-time funding. That means a longer term solution will have to be found.
The city budget does call for some job cuts. But more than 200 city employees opted for early retirement packages in the past year. So payroll doesn’t provide as many options for savings.
City leaders are looking for ways to trim costs and boost revenues to reduce future potential budget deficits.

SYDNEY — A Jewish day school in Melbourne reportedly has become the first Australian K-12 institution to support a campaign for marriage equality.
Bialik College, which has more than 1,000 students from kindergarten to high school, provided a letter of support last week backing the Australian Marriage Equality campaign “asking all Australian universities and academia to add their voice to the growing call for equal rights for all Australians.”
“We have a number of families at Bialik who are same-sex relationships,” Bialik’s principal, Jeremy Stowe-Lindner, told JTA. “The rainbow spectrum of our community, and I use the term ‘rainbow’ deliberately, is something that we should celebrate.”
Stowe-Lindner, a former head teacher principal at London’s Jewish Community Secondary School, added that “the idea of inclusion of those whose lifestyles are different to what some may see as mainstream and who contribute positively to the community without impinging on the freedom of others is a fundamental tenet of modern liberal Jewish values.”
Bialik is a member of the Safe Schools Coalition Australia – organizations and schools working together to create safe and inclusive school environments for same-sex attracted, intersex and gender diverse students, staff and families. The coalition is funded by the Australian government and in Victoria by its government.
Michael Barnett, convenor of Aleph Melbourne, which provides guidance and support for Jewish, gay and bisexual men, said: “As a member of the Safe Schools Coalition, Bialik College is showing genuine leadership and vision by supporting marriage equality. The school clearly understands that giving children equal opportunities in life enables them to achieve their full potential.
“As a former student of Bialik College, I am exceedingly proud of my first high school today,” he said, adding that Bialik has “come a long way since I attended in the early 1980s.
“I would have had an easier time at school, experienced less bullying and felt less isolated if the school had told me it was OK to love boys and that I could even marry a man when I grew up. That validation would have made a huge difference to me, particularly at that formative stage of my life.”
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has indicated there may be a plebiscite putting the issue of same-sex marriage to a vote by Australians, but it would still have to pass the legislature to become law.
Reform and Progressive Jewish communities in Australia perform same-sex ceremonies. Nitza Loewenstein, who said she has performed many commitment ceremonies, told J-Wire: “There are no documents, although I have seen parents present their offspring with ketubahs. As far as rights are concerned, the law will recognize they are in a de facto relationship but not a marriage.”

Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals achieve amazing results. Unfortunately, accidents also occur across all aspects of health care that often result in life-changing injuries. If you or a family member is seriously injured due to the negligence of a health care professional, you may recover compensation for all medical costs, lost wages, emotional pain and suffering, and other damages.
The attorneys at Kornblum, Cochran, Erickson, & Harbison, LLP, help victims of medical malpractice recover full compensation for their injuries. We have a thorough understanding of the intricacies of this complex area of law and the resources necessary to build strong cases.
Malpractice lawsuits may name doctors, nurses, hospitals, medical technicians, pharmacists or a number of other parties as defendants. It may also make sense to seek damages from multiple parties. Our experienced lawyers will review every aspect of your case carefully to ensure that all responsible parties are identified.
Under California law, a patient must prove that a health care professional or entity breached the “standard of care,” and that the breach resulted in injury. The term “standard of care” refers to broadly accepted procedures that health care professionals throughout California adhere to.
Even seemingly straightforward incidents of medical malpractice can be difficult to prove. We work closely with highly regarded medical professionals and other specialists who provide the kind of critical information that is necessary to come out on top in these cases.
A small percentage of malpractice lawsuits actually go to trial. Most are resolved through negotiated settlements or get dismissed. Our reputation as knowledgeable attorneys who are always prepared to go to trial if a fair agreement is not offered allows us to negotiate from a position of strength.
Injured parties in medical malpractice cases may seek compensatory damages and noneconomic damages. Compensatory damages cover the actual cost of immediate medical care, long-term rehabilitation connected to the injury, lost wages, lost earning future earning power and other expenses. There is no limit to the amount of compensatory damages a person can recover in a California medical malpractice case.
Victims of malpractice may also seek noneconomic damages, which compensate the individual for pain and suffering, disfigurement and (in the event of the death of a loved one) loss of consortium. California medical malpractice laws limit noneconomic damages to $250,000.
In some medical malpractice cases, plaintiffs may also seek punitive damages. The plaintiff and his or her attorney must show that a medical professional acted out of malice or fraud in order to recover punitive damages. There are no limits on punitive damages in California.
We welcome the opportunity to review the facts of your case and provide a candid assessment of what you might expect. We work with clients throughout the state and across the U.S. from offices in San Francisco and Santa Rosa. Call us or use our online contact form to schedule a free consultation.
Remember, all medical malpractice cases are taken on a contingency fee basis. We only collect an attorney fee if we successfully obtain a recovery for you.

NavyLand is a navy-themed amusement park created by Captain Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock and run mainly by the crew of U-96. Despite being located underwater, the park boasts many exciting attractions such as the "Spinning Battleship" and the "Submarine Roller Coaster", as well as various games such as "Depth Charge the Submarine"
NavyLand was first introduced in the video "Captain Willenbrock Starts a Theme Park", in which the Captain learns about the success of various other theme parks, namely Adolf Hitler's Deutsch Land, Hermann Otto Fegelein's FegelLand, and Mikhail Tukhachevsky's new theme park located in Moscow.
The park was recently opened for business in a fancy party, where a large number of navy men arrived and enjoyed various activities before Captain Philipp Thomsen finally arrived to officially declare the park open. It has since become a huge success.

The focus of today is the idea of wilderness.
Whenever I hear this word, I am always reminded of the journey that the people of Israel took after the exodus into the wilderness. They were on their way to the promised land. And in the middle of that journey, they would find themselves face to face with their God, who would proclaim His Word and His truth to them, and give them instruction for how they should live and exist one with another.
What is difficult about the wilderness is not that it can be harsh, or even that it will test you. What makes the wilderness difficult is that we have a hard time accepting its purpose. The purpose of the wilderness is to break us from the patterns that we have previously developed.
One of the great examples of this is when the people of Israel went to Moses and they complained that it would have been better for them to stay in Egypt, in slavery and captivity, than to die out in the wilderness. But God had to break them of the patterns that they had developed over 400 years of indentured servitude. God had to break them of the identity that they had developed in the time that they have spent as slaves, and as servants, to unkind and unjust masters.
The truth of the matter is that the wilderness is not supposed to be easy. It’s not supposed to be something that we enjoy. The wilderness is the place where the things that we have accepted, that are wrong, are exposed. And the way that God works his miracle in us is to reveal to us that we can survive, that we can make it, that we are not alone, that he is with us.
God wants to show us that if we would submit to being his people, he has promised to be our God. That when we are in the place of our greatest need, he will provide his greatest supply.
This is the power of the wilderness, it exposes that which is wrong in us, and that which we have accepted and must now reject. The wilderness sheds light on all those areas of our lives that are not who we truly are. And it takes us to that moment where we can trust, truly trust, maybe even for the first time, that the God who has saved us, who has delivered us, has brought us into the wilderness for this very reason: that we might come face to face with who we thought we were, and actually discover who we are supposed to be in him.
I hope that you will continue to follow along in this season of Lent as we prepare ourselves to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

GROTTAMMARE: landscape to admire
The pearl of the Adriatic in the center of the Riviera delle Palme
Just 18 km from the Girasole Eco Family Village towards the south of the Marche, defined as the Pearl of the Adriatic, stands Grottammare , the center of the Riviera delle Palme . Its palm trees and the green of its pine forests in fact surprise the visitor, as do the spectacle of the oleanders in the orange groves, and also the Art Nouveau villas and the beaches equipped with very fine sand with numerous bathing establishments offering their services.
A cycle path of around 20 km, which connects it to the south with San Benedetto del Tronto / Porto d'Ascoli and to the north with Cupra Marittima, at times close to the sea, makes it an ideal location for lovers of outdoor sports , surrounded by nature.
Grottammare is located at the foot of the Monte Castello hill where the medieval nucleus unfolds and is certainly worth a visit. The ancient village rises around Piazza Peretti , where we find a series of interesting places to discover, such as the Palazzo Priorale , the Altana dell'Orologio and the Teatro dell'Arancio . And also the elegant loggia and the splendid belvedere. For art lovers, other noteworthy places are: the seventeenth-century Church of Santa Lucia, the Sistine Museum which is located in the Church of San Giovanni Battista.
Along the walls, continuing the walk, it is possible to admire the restored Torrione della Battaglia , which houses many works by the native Pericle Fazzini , one of the greatest local artists of the twentieth century.
Impossible not to taste the very famous and typical of the place " Caffè del Marinaio ", a drink based on coffee and anise which seems to be inspired by the classic coffee with mocha, to which various anise-based distillates were added, which the sailors used to fight and face the cold of the long winter months.

Not a 4* hotel. Only thing good about this hotel was the location....right on las ramblas. Would consider going again just because it's so close to everything. They gave us a king size bed....

In order to accommodate rising passenger traffic at Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport (PAT) in Patna, India, airport operator Airports Authority of India (AAI) has announced the commencement of modernization work on the terminal facilities. The airport is one of India’s fastest growing in terms of annual passenger growth over the last five years, with the existing terminal handling almost 4.5 million passengers per annum.
Scheduled for completion by March 2023, the work includes construction of a new terminal building, multi-level parking facility and various ancillary structures such as a fire station. On completion of the works, the annual handling capacity of the airport will be increased to 8 million passengers per annum.
According to AAI, the integrated terminal building will boast a four-star GRIHA energy efficiency rating, and be equipped with 52 check-in counters, an in-line baggage handling system and five conveyor belts for arriving passengers, coupled with an interior design depicting the art and culture of Bihar (the state it is located in). Provision for 62,0000ft2 (5,760m2 ) of commercial space of is also being made to accommodate shopping facilities.
To address long-standing concerns around parking at the airport, the new parking facility will accommodate 750 vehicles, while the top floor of the structure will feature a further 31,000ft2 (2,880m2 ) of commercial space, connected to the terminal building via a bridge to aid passenger movements.
As an interim measure to increase capacity while construction of the new terminal is underway, the existing terminal building is to be extended and modified with the addition of greater baggage handling and check-in facilities.

One approach to training a Shih Tzu that works well is using treats as a reward. When the dog performs the desired behavior, reward them with a small treat and plenty of praise. This encourages them to keep up the good work and reinforces positive behavior.

It sounds like you're facing a distressing situation involving potential HIPAA violations and medical records fraud concerning your mother's care. It's understandable to feel overwhelmed and frustrated by the complexities of the situation, especially when it involves the well-being of a loved one.

Given the seriousness of the allegations, it may be prudent to seek legal advice from an attorney specializing in healthcare law or elder law. They can provide guidance on how to proceed and may assist you in filing complaints with the appropriate regulatory agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services' Office for Civil Rights. Additionally, they can help you understand your rights and options for pursuing legal action if necessary.

Remember to prioritize your mother's well-being throughout this process and seek support from trusted individuals or organizations who can provide guidance and advocacy on your behalf.

John the Baptist, Son of Zacharias and Elisabeth, Beheaded in the Castle of Machaerus, at the Command of Herod Antipas, A.D. 32
This John, surnamed the Baptist, because he was ordained of God to baptize the penitent, was the son of the priest Zacharias, and his wife Elizabeth; whose name was made known to his parents through the angel of God, before he was born. Luke 1:5, 13.
When he was about thirty years old (about six months before the Lord Jesus Christ began to preach), in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberias Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor, and Annas and Caiaphas the high priests, he was called and sent of God, to preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, to prepare the way for the Messiah, as an angel or messenger before the face of Christ, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children. Luke 3:1,2; Mark 1:2,3; Luke 1:17.
Of the dignity of this man the angel of the Lord had said, that many would rejoice at his birth, that he would be great in the sight of the Lord, to make ready a people well-prepared (as not only the prophets, but also Zacharias had prophesied of him through the Spirit of the Most High), to give knowledge of salvation unto the people of the Lord for the remission of their sins. Luke 1:14,15,77.
John, being thus sent of God, to bear witness of Christ, that He is the true light, came to the Jordan, at Salim, and other places, teaching and baptizing. John 3 :23.
In the meantime, while he was baptizing the penitent, Christ Himself came to him (to confirm this holy work), and asked to be baptized by him. But when John, from humility and good intention, declined, Christ instructed him that this was necessary, saying, “Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he baptized the Lord. Matt. 3:13-16.
He held the Lord Jesus in high estimation, calling Him the Lamb of God, the Bridegroom of His church, the true Messiah, whose shoes he was not worthy to bear. John 1:29; 3:29; Matt. 3:11.
He himself possessed such great influence, though in humility, that many were in doubt whether he was not himself the Messiah; hence the Pharisees sent their messengers to him, to inquire of him his vocation, mission, authority, etc. To all this he answered candidly and with an humble heart, saying, “I am not the Christ.” John 1:19,20.
When the course of his pilgrimage drew near its close, a certain matter occurred, which was the cause of his death, and happened as follows: King Herod Antipas had committed a wicked deed; namely, he had taken his brother Philip’s wife, having put away his own wife, the daughter of Aretas, king of Arabia; which conduct John the Baptist, on account of his ministry, could not let go unreproved, but called Herod’s attention to it, according to the law, saying, “It is not lawful for thee to have her” (Matt. 14:4).
However, even as the ungodly will not be reproved, so it was with Herod; for he conceived a hatred for John, and sought opportunity to kill him. But, since many had a very high opinion of this pious man, and great numbers, therefore, came to him, Herod, for the present, did not dare to lay hands on him, to kill him; however he did not let him go free, but imprisoned him in the castle of Machaerus. Enseb. Hist. Eccl lib. 1 chap 11.
In the meantime John did not relax in his calling, but even from prison sent some of his disciples to Christ, that they with the others might assure themselves through the doctrine and the miracles which they would there hear and see, that Christ, and none other, was the true Messiah. Matt. 11:2; Luke 7:18.
Thereupon, not only when these messengers came, but also on many other occasions, Christ testified of the greatness and worthiness of John the Baptist; namely, that he was the true spiritual Elias, a burning and shining light, the greatest prophet among all those born of women. Matt. 11:14; John 5 :35; Luke 7:28.
Time went on, meanwhile, and the hour of his departure was near at hand. As regards the circumstances of his death, they are thus described by the holy evangelist Matthew, chap. 14:3-12: “For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife. For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger. And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.” Josephus, the Jewish historian, also makes mention of the death of John the Baptist, in the 7th chapter of the 18th book of his history of the Jews, where he writes thus:
“There was a common report among the Jews, that Herod’s army was destroyed through the righteous judgment of God, on account of John, who is called the Baptist. For Herod, the tetrarch, caused this pious man to be slain; who exhorted the Jews to all manner of virtue and righteousness, led them to baptism, and said, that their baptism would only then be acceptable to God, if they would abstain, not merely from one or two sins, but would earnestly purify the heart, through righteousness, and afterwards also the body.
“Since great numbers flocked to him, and the people were very eager for his doctrine, Herod feared, lest he (John) might induce the people, with whom his influence was great, to sedition; for it seemed, as if they would do everything according to his will and counsel. He therefore thought it best, to have him killed. For that reason he caused him to be imprisoned in the aforesaid castle Machrerus, and there put to death.”
This happened, according to our reckoning, in the year thirty-two after the birth of Christ, in the seventeenth year of Tiberias, the Roman emperor; and thus was this great light of the church of God extinguished in the midst of its brightness, to the sorrow of many pious hearts.
It is stated that his body rested at Sebasta, in Palestine, till the time of Julian, when his bones were burned by the enemies of truth, and his ashes scattered to the wind. Histor. Tripart. lib. 1. cap. 15. Theod. lib. 3. cap. 6.
Thieleman J. Van Braght (1625-1664) was an Anabaptist who is best known for writing a history of the Christian witness throughout the centuries entitled “The Bloody Theater or Martyrs Mirror of the Defenseless Christians who baptized only upon confession of faith, and who suffered and died for the testimony of Jesus, their Saviour, from the time of Christ to the year A.D. 1660” (1660).

I believe Acceptance is the second step to living a positive life with pain;
whether your pain is emotional or physical.
Acceptance not as a way of giving-in, but as a way of moving on, of focussing on the important things.
In this second blog in my series – Kicking Pain in the “As” – I’m looking at how
Acceptance impacts the way I deal with pain and embrace the things I believe
I do have the power to change.
Acceptance in this context, takes three forms for me:
This section from The Serenity prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr sums it up for me:
“…give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other…”
I have learned to see this as a liberating view-point when dealing with pain, be it emotional of physical. For example, there are memories of things that happened to me in childhood that are neither positive nor helpful for me to mull over; I cannot change the fact that they happened, I cannot, no matter how much effort or self-belief I have, make them un-happen. So I Accept them. I Accept that they are part of my history, that they are part of the reason I am the person I am today. I do not use my energy on regrets or “if only…”s.
The same applies to physical pain; I have two conditions that mean I have chronic, physical pain in my daily life. I cannot change that. What I can change is the amount of my time and energy I give to it; how much of that is spent on wishing it was different rather than finding new, positive ways to use my energy.
I am not suggesting that Acceptance of this nature is easy; but I am suggesting we can make a choice to make it harder than it needs to be when we attempt to fight against it.
There comes a time when the effort required to do something on your own, apparently in some attempt to prove a point (most often to yourself) is just too much; that moment where we have to accept that we need help. It can be painful, humiliating, frustrating. Or it can be part of the Acceptance process.
I know that my husband, John, likes to “fix” things. He’s always been the person that remains calm in a crisis, calmly getting on with what has to be done as people around him panic. And he likes to fix problems; give him time and he will find a way. He’s proved this time and again when the medical profession did not have a way to help me and he would disappear into his garage and emerge with some adapted object that proved to be just what was required.
So, as part of my Acceptance of help. I’ve accepted that letting John help me is also helping him. When I block out his offers of help, carrying on regardless with stubborn determination, I’m not just making it harder for myself, but for those around me too. Particularly John. So, I accept his help, his ability to see the wood for the trees, his strength and courage, his constant support and encouragement.
When I had a road accident at 26 years old, I was told I would never walk again. I went from active super-woman to being dependant on my wheelchair to get everywhere. It was a huge thing to have to learn to Accept.
Around a year after my accident, I sat John down one evening and told him I would understand if this was all too much; that if he wanted “out” I would never hold that against him. “I don’t want you to stay because you feel sorry for me or out of some sense of duty” I told him. He looked me in the eye and said “I didn’t marry you because you could walk. I married you because you’re fiesty, determined, strong, outspoken and brave. And since your accident, you’ve become these things all the more. How could I not want to stay?”
Every time I recall that conversation, my eyes fill with tears. John allowed me to Accept that with every new challenge, we find new gifts. I found it so hard to see how my accident had changed me; I saw a woman confined to a wheelchair. John saw a woman of strength, courage and determination. As I learned to Accept the gifts that each new chapter brought to our lives, I was able to truly reach that place of Acceptance where I could focus on a positive future.
Are you ready to Accept?

As a doctor, work-life balance can appear like an alien concept. After all, it’s not easy to justify some time off with all the patients, referrals, and laboratory results you need to address.
Being a physician is a profession where downtimes are rare – even when you’ve already booked yourself days off, there’s still a good chance that you may get urgent patient calls, receive some lab work to follow up with, or need to cover for a colleague’s shift.
The good news is that achieving a work-life balance is neither as complicated nor as challenging as it sounds. In fact, it’s much easier than you realize. With that said, here are a few tips to keep in mind.
Find Your Purpose
Many young doctors lose satisfaction or passion for work because they lose sight of their purpose. To find meaning, you mustn’t forget to consider your personal needs and align them with that of your organization.
Intentionally doing things that will constantly remind you of why you chose the career in the first place will allow you to avoid physician burnout and help you live a happier life.
Manage Your Time Right
Balancing life and work requires excellent skills in time management. It involves short and long-term goals, organizing and planning, and refraining from or limiting time-wasting activities.
Some effective practices include, but aren’t limited, to meeting about the patients before working hours begin and ensuring that all health records are prepared beforehand.
You may also want to consider working as a locum tenens practitioner and avail of the services of a physician recruiter firm. Apart from the opportunity to work in different healthcare facilities and receive better financial rewards, it also offers a level of flexibility in schedule that a traditional career path lacks.
Prioritize What’s Important
Among your responsibilities, it’s crucial to determine what’s most vital. For example, some doctors who prioritize their families usually work fewer hours so they can spend more time with their loved ones.
On the other hand, if you’re looking to settle student loans or are saving up to establish your own practice, you’ll need to put in more hours instead.
The reason why many medical professionals suffer from burnout is that they fail to set boundaries. Instead, they take in more work than they can handle. As a result, they end up fatigued and perform poorly.
Don’t make the same mistake, and make sure you establish a clear dividing line on what you can and can’t do. Don’t be afraid to push back work if needed. You’ll avoid working yourself to the bone and, more importantly, steer clear of any potentially costly mistakes.
It’s incredibly important to attain a reasonably good work-life balance, especially for those in the health sector. When you get right down to it, not only will it impact your job satisfaction and happiness, but it’ll also affect your performance. So, make sure that you follow these tips. They’ll allow you to achieve a better equilibrium between your personal and professional life.

BEIJING — "A situation of anarchy is getting more and more serious." --Premier Li Peng
On Friday, May 19, Nicola Chapuis, a young French diplomat, found himself at the intersection of three historic revolutions.
That morning, Chapuis helped open a new exhibit in Beijing commemorating the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution. The ceremonies were held in the Revolutionary History Museum, the huge gray stone building on the east side of Tian An Men Square that honors the Chinese Communist Party's 1949 "liberation" of China.
The day was clear and sunny. As Chapuis' glance wandered outside, he saw what seemed to be the makings of a third, contemporary revolution. Hundreds of thousands of people were gathered in the streets below, far more than had stormed the Bastille. With workers and students parading on trucks as if posing for film makers, the scene looked to Chapuis like political theater, like the French student uprisings of 1968 or the American Woodstock of 1969.
That day, May 19, was probably the high-water mark of the would-be Chinese revolution.
On that afternoon, workers organized a new citywide independent union of workers in Beijing. "Soon the whole country will go on strike to support the students' patriotic movement," said one of the workers holding up a banner for the new union.
Word spread among Chinese officials and Communist Party members that the 38th Army, the People's Liberation Army contingent ordinarily assigned to protect Beijing, had balked at moving into the city and against the students. If the army refused to act, the revolution would be complete. Deng Xiaoping and his entire regime would collapse.
But already, largely unknown to the protesters, forces were beginning to coalesce at the highest levels of the party and the military that would snuff out the protest movement and its political message of democracy.
Within the party leadership, which had been locked in its most bitter power struggle since the death of Mao Tse-tung, the balance was shifting decisively in favor of the old guard, the forces in favor of repression.
General Secretary Zhao, the protesters' highest-ranking sympathizer, had already lost out. The party's five-member Standing Committee of the Politburo had voted the day before to call in the troops. Hard-liners Li Peng and Yao Yilin favored imposing martial law. While the others wavered, only Zhao was willing to vote no.
Few knew any of that in the hours before dawn that Friday morning when Zhao, looking tired and drawn, went into Tian An Men Square to speak with some of the students and other demonstrators. In uncharacteristically emotional terms, he voiced support for the students and their cause.
"We were too late coming. I'm sorry," he said in a tearful seven-minute speech subsequently broadcast on Chinese television. "Your criticism of us is justified. I'm not here to ask your forgiveness. I'm just saying that your bodies have become very weak. Your hunger strike is already in its seventh day. Things can't go on like this."
Some students asked him for his autograph. It was the first time Zhao had become a hero to the students' movement, the first time their cause had become loosely linked to his fate.
The students did not realize it at the time, but it was the last time they would see Zhao, in person or on television, for the remainder of the political crisis.
Friday night, student leaders in Tian An Men Square announced conciliatory plans to call off the hunger strike. The sense of victory--indeed, of immunity--persisted. "The government will not dare suppress the students," a student named Chi said shortly after 10 p.m.
But by that time, word was already spreading through Tian An Men Square that troops were beginning to move on the outskirts of Beijing. Over the students' bullhorns, speakers began urging the students to remain peaceful, to put up no resistance, to remain nonviolent--but to remain in the square.
"Whatever happens, we will stay calm and restrained," said the flamboyant student leader Wuer Kaixi over the loudspeakers. "We should not forget our goals: That is, we are fighting for the prosperity of our motherland and the glory of China. We will fight to the end."
Shortly after midnight, Premier Li appeared on nationwide television. "The capital is in a critical situation," he declared, his high-pitched voice full of tension. "A situation of anarchy is getting more and more serious." He announced that troops would be brought into the city "to stop the turmoil and stabilize the situation."
Li said he was speaking "on behalf of the Communist Party Central Committee and the State Council"--that is, both the party and the government. Those watching on television searched in vain for Zhao. Among the five members of the Politburo Standing Committee, only Zhao was missing.


As with most sports cars, such as the Corvette Stingray, fuel economy isn’t one of their strong suits, but Americans and their muscle cars seem to be inseparable.
The 2015 Corvette Stingray will still come with the standard seven-speed manual transmission, which many prefer for driving pleasure, but the optional six-speed automatic transmission of yesteryear always left the heart wanting, for both performance and fuel economy. The new and optional General Motors 8L90 eight-speed automatic transmission is a boost, but I’m thinking it still doesn’t go far enough to address the greater concerns of fuel consumption and emissions.
Unlike traditional automatic transmissions, which shift between 250 and 500 ms, the new 8L90 transmission shifts in less than 100 ms, just shy of supercar shift times, as low as 8 ms. Still, when the blink of an eye averages 300 ms, the sub-100 ms shift times of the 2015 Corvette Stingray’s eight-speed automatic transmission could be said to be instantaneous. Well, that’s great for performance, but what about fuel economy?
Considering that the Corvette Stingray is powered by a monstrous 6.2 ℓ naturally-aspirated V8 engine, it should come as no surprise that her fuel economy is nothing to be proud of. The EPA estimates that the 2014 version maxxed out at 29 mpg highway, but GM estimates that the 2015 version, equipped with the new eight-speed automatic transmission, could breach the 30 mpg mark. We’re still not very proud.
I know, 30 mpg isn’t really a big deal. Will we ever get over this need for speed and get off the dino-teats? Corvette, if you really want to impress me, drop the 6.2 ℓ and put in a turbocharged 3.6 and a plug-in hybrid electric all-wheel drive system, if you like. You can have your performance, but lay off the petroleum.

“The focus needs to be on reducing demand and not providing an unlimited supply of parking spaces which is being done globally through variable pricing linked to actual usage,” Anumita Roychowdhury of the Centre for Science and Environment told The Hindu on Sunday.
The CSE executive director of research and advocacy was speaking about the South Delhi Municipal Corporation’s September 14 green signal to the hike in one-time parking charges levied on vehicles. The civic body plans to use this hike for construction of modern parking systems. However, it remains unclear whether the move will help resolve Delhi’s parking woes. The hike, once approved by the other corporations and notified by the Delhi government, will make cars more expensive.
Four wheelers that were sold for up to ₹4 lakh will be charged ₹6,000 against ₹2,000 charged earlier. Vehicles that cost above ₹4 lakh, which were earlier charged ₹4,000, will now be charged more under different slabs.
The highest slab is for vehicles that are priced over ₹40 lakh — they will now be charged ₹75,000.
“If the idea is to reduce the number of vehicles on road, an environmental pollution charge can be levied. The one-time parking charge gives people the idea that once they have paid the charge they can park wherever they like,” said Ms. Roychowdhury. “Parking structures in isolation are not enough. In our surveys, we have even seen multilevel parking lots which have more supply than demand. Better management of parking systems is required,” she added.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan approved the disbursement of N3 Billion naira to Nollywood before he left office.
That fund eluded members of Motion Picture Practitioner’s Association of Nigeria (MOPPAN).
The body doubles as the Northern Film Practitioners popularly known as Kannywood.
Kannywood practitioners criticized the former president in what it described as ‘’Lopsidedness and favoritism in the selection of beneficiaries of the N3bn Project Act Nollywood grant.’’
In protest, Kannywood practitioners wrote the presidency demanding a fair share for their industry.
Excerpts of MOPPAN’s letter to President Buhari reads: ‘’Your Excellency can check the project act Nollywood website to verify these allegations.
“All the beneficiaries and the total amount disbursed to them were posted on the Project-Act Nollywood website for verification.
“It is clear that very few practitioners in the north benefited from the fund.
“While those in the south were favored, qualified applicants from the north were sidelined.
“For instance, the capacity building with the total beneficiaries of 204, only 59 was able to attend a training out of which 19 attended a four week course in an Indian Media Training Institute while forty attended a local training with a very minimal funding compared to our counterparts in the south’’.
The Federal Government obliged and announced it had set aside N3 billion naira to build a film village in Kano for Kannywood.
Immediately the plan was announced, Muslim clerics took to social media condemning the plan to “Build a village that will promote immorality.”
The government argued the village would create thousands of job opportunities and promote cultural activities.
The Muslim clerics maintained their ground. The furor sparked a protest in social media.
The Nigerian government obliged and cancelled the plan to build the film village.
An aide to President Muhammadu Buhari told local media that the president has listened to the people’s concerns.
MOFFAN/Kannywood is yet to react to the new development.

Equal opportunities and the right to education have never been more abstract in Romania than during the pandemic. Unfortunately, this disastrous period will have a serious impact on the financial future of students.
From the moment the Ministry of Education and Research washed its hands of the responsibility of starting the new school year, placing the task on the inspectorates and the units of the Learning, I realized that the future does not sound good. In recent days, I have talked to many panicked parents who do not know exactly how online school works, what they need, how they can help their children. Given that auctions are now being held for hundreds of thousands of tablets, I do not even want to think about the situation in rural areas.
After many Romanian children lost three months of school last school year, the situation is not very optimistic even now. In this context, a study by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) tried to associate some financial values with these periods in which children practically do not learn at all or In the most optimistic case, they make it inefficient.
Three months without school means a loss of 3% of the child's future money. If you can live with this and think you have no children, so you are safe, keep in mind that the same deprivation of education for a period of three months is reflected in an economic loss of 1.5% across the country. On the other hand, each school year determines an average increase of 7.5 – 10% of the income obtained throughout life.
If it was not already obvious, the OECD warns that the biggest impact will be seen where children are already more disadvantaged socially.
To associate exact figures with this worrying trend, the OECD has applied the above percentages to major global savings.

Lonnie Johnson & Eddie Lang: Have to Change Keys to Play These Blues
Have to Change Keys to Play These Blues
Steppin' on the Blues (Columbia CK 46221)
Recorded: New York, November 17, 1928
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
By 1928, Eddie Lang, ethnic Italian from Philadelphia, and Lonnie Johnson, African-American from New Orleans, were recognized as top guitar masters. This track, one of 10 extraordinary duets they recorded in 1928-29, proceeds at a rather stately tempo, unlike some of the other duets. As Johnson said, on this track, as in the other duets, "Eddie could lay down rhythm and bass parts just like a piano." This song shows how the two guitarists took the basic music and bent notes and slurs of the blues, and added sophisticated and intricate interweavings of Lang's solid rhythm and harmonics with Johnson's lead work. Lang occasionally takes the lead, as in the fourth chorus here (sounding more heavy-handed than Johnson), but usually it is Johnson in the lead, managing to combine an often light, jazzy skipping quality with a rich tone and bluesy feel, as his inventive melodic lines soar above Lang's foundation. They are so attuned to each other that they are like a pair of superb longtime dancers whose two bodies move as one. The magic of these duets has been seminal in guitar history.

Dale Jarrett started on the pole at Watkins Glen but then drove his car like the brown truck of sponsor UPS, handing Jeff Gordon another boost in the Winston Cup points. Gordon took the lead with a three-wheeled pass of Jeff Burton’s Ford 12 laps from the finish to win his second straight race. It was Gordon’s record fourth victory on the New York road circuit and gave him momentum in the pursuit of a fourth championship title.
Every title season needs luck and Gordon’s arrived as a result of explosive TV telemetry, as well as Jarrett’s on-track antics. A fire in the Richard Childress Racing Chevy of Robby Gordon, caused when a battery blew up in the system used to produce television graphics, forced the road racer to retire midway after leading twice for 13 laps. He was ahead of the Jeff Gordon’s Chevy when the incident occurred.
With his victory, Jeff Gordon took a 194-point lead over Ricky Rudd, who finished third, and increased his margin over Jarrett to 265 with 14 races remaining.
“Chalk this one up to the driver,” said Jarrett, who finished one lap down in 31st after spinning twice into the gravel at Turn One and bringing out two of the race’s five yellows.
The winner started an uncustomary 13th in his Chevy and made a pilgrim’s progress to the front. Gordon was one of 11 drivers who traded the lead 13 times due to the excellent fuel mileage now achieved by the teams and out-of-sequence pit stops during yellow flags. Burton earned the advantage by pitting under the first yellow after starting 22nd. But the third yellow enabled Gordon to restart on Burton’s bumper, then pass him at Turn One and again at the Inner Loop after the Roush Racing driver reclaimed the lead at Turn Two leading to the uphill esses.
“I learned last year [in a second-lap accident with Tony Stewart] side-by-side does not work in the esses,” said Gordon. “I just stayed behind him and he got a little push coming off there, and I was able to get back alongside him.” Gordon then out-braked Burton into the Inner Loop, three-wheeling his way and holding on when the Ford driver tapped his rear bumper.
In fact, Robby Gordon, driving his last race as a sub for Mike Skinner, was fastest after Jarrett’s first spin on the 18th lap. But following his final pit stop, the telemetry equipment used by NBC Sports and installed by Sportvision caught fire and Gordon made a hasty trip back into the pits. The equipment is required by NASCAR to be carried in every car. FOX Sports and then NBC have used it all season. “We’ve asked Sportvision to explain to us and NBC what happened,” said John Griffin, spokesman for the sanctioning body. “We need answers quickly.”
While Jarrett won the pole with an improved braking system and then over-cooked the corners in the race, Gordon kept his brakes cool enough to win at the finish—though he had to pump them on the backstraight prior to his winning pass of Burton.
“The engine was over-heating and the brakes were over-heating at the start of the race,” said Gordon. “I had to be careful with them, especially after I saw other guys wheel-hopping into the corners.’’
Running 14th, it was wheel-hop that sent Jarrett into the gravel a second time. “I got into the side of Mark Martin,” said Jarrett. “It was my fault.”

|Welcome to InTheFray!|
Welcome to InTheFray! This guide explains everything that you need to know about the InTheFray site, its user features, and its content.
|By ITF Webmaster|
|Wednesday, September 6, 2006|
As a registered user, you have access to a number of site features. Most are accessible from the user menu that appears at the top of the page after you log in. Here are some of the things you can do as a registered user:
About our content
Like the people profiled in its pages, InTheFray Magazine has a personality and style all to its own. Some magazines toss their articles into a mishmash of generic categories — news, commentary, art/photography, cultural criticism, travel writing, book reviews, and so on. InTheFray publishes all these kinds of content, but we’ve taken the time to work out some organizing principles that reflect the magazine's mission and spirit.
IMAGINE, our literary channel, focuses on the world of art and culture. Here you’ll find original short stories and poems, reviews of books, films, performances, and events, and arts-related features.
INTERACT, the magazine's commentary channel, wades right into the fierce public debates over issues ranging from democracy and war to belonging and alienation. In this channel you'll find exclusive interviews and essays featuring the voices of prominent and provocative thinkers. INTERACT also publishes a wide array of personal essays — demonstrating through the vivid experiences of people like and unlike ourselves that the personal is indeed political.
IMAGE, our visual channel, puts a human face on the predicaments faced by communities across the world: terrorism, dislocation, protest, isolation. Here we publish photo essays and multimedia works that encourage reflection, stir outrage, or inspire resistance. Through a mixing of the beautiful and the grotesque, the sacred and the profane, IMAGE celebrates human emotion and visual innovation.
ITF ACTIVIST'S CORNER is devoted to helping our readers learn more about how they can make a difference in our world, in ways both big and small. Each month the ITF ACTIVIST'S CORNER features an interview with a different activist, loosely defined. Our goal is to highlight a diverse array of activist strategies and voices, providing readers with the information they need to get connected. If there is an activist you’d like to see ITF interview, please submit that person's name and, if possible, his or her contact information by using our contact form.
THE NEWSWIRE, featured on our site's front page, has a rundown of recommended articles from Digg.com, recommended sites from del.icio.us, and recommended videos from YouTube. Our editors suggest links that provide intelligent and humorous perspectives on the themes of the magazine.
LISTINGS are announcements about events, exhibitions, fellowships, and other news of note for our readers.
OFF THE SHELF is the magazine's book club in cyberspace. Our reviewers discuss a mix of old and new books, both fiction and nonfiction.
THE ORGANIZATIONAL DIRECTORY is a list of organizations that share our values and that we want our readers to know about.
In THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: NOT SO FOREIGN TRAVELS, our writers, photographers, and artists examine issues of belonging and identity (personal and national) while traipsing through lands and cultures more or less distinct from their own. THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS publishes perspectives from both travelers sojourning abroad and immigrants making new homes, with an eye toward subverting the standard travelogue formula — that is, approaching a country halfway across the globe as something more than a home to strange cuisine and peculiar customs, questioning notions of the "exotic" and "foreign," and reconsidering our own status as outsiders.
Finally, our long-running EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK offers an introduction to the month's content written by InTheFray's editors.

It’s OK to thrift, but higher-income shoppers should be mindful of how their purchases impact low-income communities, says Jadyn Lee SC ’24.
Gentrification tears apart communities and hurts families, and when people are unable to fight it, it hurts the most.
Industrial gentrification in the Inland Empire is inevitable. A solution to the its housing crisis is to reform laws and rebuild cities along the coast.
In this week’s pop culture column, Nadya Siringo Ringo SC ’21 critiques the cultural appropriation inherent in popular streetwear and minimalist clothing. She writes, “Expensive streetwear heavily draws from the styles and cultures of low-income communities, making versions that are inaccessible to them despite their heavy influence.”
