Forty years after the Battle of Yavin a dangerous new era in the Star Wars epic begins – the revelations are shocking, the stakes desperate, and the enemy everywhere.
As civil war threatens the unity of the Galactic Alliance, Han and Leia Solo have enraged their families and the Jedi by joining the Corellian insurgents. But the Solos draw the line when they discover the rebels’ plot to make the Hapan Consortium an ally – which rests upon Hapan nobles murdering their pro-Alliance queen and her daughter.
Yet the Solos’ selfless determination to save the queen cannot dispel the inescapable consequences of their actions, that will pit mother against son and brother against sister in the battles ahead. For as Jacen Solo’s dark powers grow stronger under the Dark Jedi Lumiya, and his influence over Ben Skywalker becomes more insidious, Luke’s concern for his nephew forces him into a life-and-death struggle against his fiercest foe, and Han and Leia Solo find themselves at the mercy of their deadliest enemy... their son.

The next time you complain about spending thousands of dollars on a precision camera lens, stop and think about all the all hard work that went into its design and creation. As camera maker Mats Wernersson reveals, were you to make a lens yourself, you’d be spending days ensuring every last component was flawless.
A good photographer will do anything for a photo—and now that can even mean wielding a super long lens that looks like a teeny telescope. As ePhotozine reported from Photokina, Venus Optics is introducing this macro lens to keep photographers from getting too close to subjects
Science has already proven that certain camera lenses can distort your face (so don’t worry if you just can’t seem to look right in photos), but there’s more that can go into your appearance in a selfie. For instance, the closer the camera is to your face, the larger your nose looks, the smaller your ears look, and…
The camera really does add 10 pounds. Here’s a good look at the effect that different lenses and barrel distortion can have when it comes to making you look fat on camera. The gif from Jim Zub starts by showing a person’s face with a 20mm lens and then goes all the way up to 200mm, you basically watch his face and…
It's always fun to see the chain reaction of Rube Goldberg machines and how one action can cascade into a whole bunch of things happening. This one, from an ad for Japanese technology company au, is particularly cool because it's just powered by light and lens and optics.
Fish are lucky. Because they get to see 180 degrees or so at once. Photographers can do the same using fisheye lenses (or cheating it with a filter). So for this week's Shooting Challenge, we're all going fishing.
If you have a knackered old SLR lying around, are game for a project and fancy adding a little quirk to your front door, why not think about creating a photography themed peephole?
If you use a Sony or Fujifilm camera or Nokia phone or anything like that, you may notice a slight difference in future editions of your favorite camera and phones. The iconic Carl Zeiss imprint on the camera lens will now be just ZEISS. I guess they were growing tired of non photogs asking who the heck is Carl Zeiss?
We have to get over it right up front. This stool costs about $780, which is stupid a lot. But now that it's out in the open we can move on and admire how cool it is, right? Riiight?
If you were ever curious about how Nikon managed to make the wonderful glass that capture beautiful pictures, well, it all starts with making the glass itself. This video gives you a peek inside the Nikon factories that make the glass and shows you the step by step process.
This polar bear is probably a really big Nikon fan that just loves to destroy expensive things because he was caught chomping, throwing and smashing a $2,100 Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS telephoto lens. It's pretty hilarious to see a giant polar bear play around with a camera lens, it looks like he tries to smoke it, drink…
Look at the insane zoom that $75,000 worth of glass got you in the 1990. It's the work of the Zoom-Nikkor 1200-1700mm f/5.6-8P IF-ED lens, 18 elements assembled in a body that looked like a shoulder-mounted missile launcher.
If you're stuck for a gift for your closest camera-lover, look no further. These bracelets are custom-made from old camera lenses, providing a one-off piece of jewelery that any photography nerd is bound to love.
If you have a taste for wild fisheye shots, here's the ultimate lens. It's claimed that it can "see behind itself", was made as a proof-of-concept for a trade show in 1970, and can be yours. If you have $160,000 lying around, that is.
F-stop is to photography beginners what inorganic chemistry is to an MFA graduate: some kind of black magic that only makes sense to experts. That said, I'm sure plenty of seasoned photographers use f-stop numbers without knowing what they really mean, too. But no more, because this video explains the concept in a…
Tilt-shift photography is cool, if painfully hip. While there are plenty of ways to give it a go, if you're particularly cheap or like a challenge, you can always hack your DSLR to achieve the tilt-shift effect.
Ever wonder why you may look prettier in some photos and uglier in others, even with the same smile and the same lighting? It's all about the camera lens. These portraits—taken by Stephen Eastwood—show how this works.
Lenses. They're your most powerful photographic tool, if you know how to harness their mighty power (and manage not to shatter them). And you know what? Chances are that even if you think you're a lensmaster, you've still got a lot to learn. And these guys are going to teach you.
Lensbaby's Portrait Kits are filled with camera accessories that can make any blemished-faced teen beautiful. They're perfect for portrait photographers tasked with the difficult job of photographing people's not-so-perfect faces.

Fashion show - fund raising
Re: Committee on Standards of Conduct Governing Judges
Your inquiry dated October 20, 1998
You have asked whether you may ethically participate in a fund raiser benefitting the local Legal Aid Society. Your inquiry indicates that your role would be as a model in a fashion show. The Committee has determined that you are ethically prohibited from being involved. I have enclosed Opinions 86/5 and 88/5.
Notwithstanding that you and other judges would not actively solicit funds, the mere fact that the event has fund raising as its objective forecloses participation by members of the judiciary.

SAN FRANCISCO — Pedro Figueroa Zarceno, an immigrant residing in California, has sued the city of San Francisco, the San Francisco Police Department and the San Francisco Sheriff's Department over sanctuary-city laws.
The suit, filed on Jan. 17, accuses the involved parties of “unlawful arrest and detention of plaintiff Pedro Figueroa.”
“The suit was filed on behalf of Mr. Figueroa to ensure that the city of San Francisco, and the San Francisco Police Department and Sheriff’s Office, specifically, adhere to San Francisco’s Sanctuary Ordinance,” Belinda Lee, a partner with Latham and Watkins and an attorney for the plaintiff, told the Northern California Record.
Figueroa, who is originally from El Salvador, went to San Francisco, which is labeled in the complaint as a “City and County of Refuge” where refugees are accepted and encouraged.
San Francisco's government website said a sanctuary-city ordinance “limits when city law enforcement officers may give [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] advance notice of a person’s release from local jail.”
Additionally, “[t]he Sanctuary Ordinance generally prohibits city employees from using city funds or resources to assist [ICE] in the enforcement of federal immigration law unless such assistance is required by federal or state law.”
What initiated Figueroa's arrest was a visit by him to the San Francisco police department to retrieve his stolen car. SF Gate reported online that the department had contacted Figueroa to tell him his car had been found and was at an impound lot.
Figueroa had initially filed the stolen car report in November 2015, and went to the police station on Dec. 2, 2015.
When Figueroa arrived at the police station and officers found out he was an immigrant, SF Gate said, “[i]nstead of getting his car back, Figueroa was led away in handcuffs and held in a detention facility in Martinez for two months.”
Following Figueroa’s arrest and booking into a detention facility for two months, the police department impounded his car. As noted in the complaint, when he went to retrieve it, he faced another set of obstacles: “On Dec. 2, 2015 following the police department’s instructions, Mr. Figueroa went to the impound lot, where he was then directed to the nearest police station to get the paperwork necessary to retrieve his car. However, instead of being assisted by the police, Mr. Figueroa was victimized yet again when he was unlawfully arrested and detained by San Francisco Police Department officers.”
Figueroa did not receive his car. The police department had it auctioned off, the complaint said.
In addition to Figueroa’s lawsuit, President Trump is also involved in one with San Francisco, where it filed suit in January over a Trump order to keep federal funding from sanctuary cities, the New York Times reported.
“I think it’s a good lawsuit,” Bill Hing of the University of San Francisco School of Law told the Northern California Record. “I’m very proud of the fact that the city took the offense on this rather than waiting.”
San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera told the Northern California Record that the order is unconstitutional.
“The president’s executive order is not only unconstitutional, it’s un-American. That is why we must stand up and oppose it,” he said.
He said the end of the San Francisco/Trump lawsuit is yet to be resolved.

WHITLEY COUNTY â Beginning Oct. 15, Community Action of Northeast Indiana (CANI) will be accepting calls to schedule appointments for energy assistance for all of its offices in Allen, DeKalb, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben and Whitley counties.

CHURUBUSCO â Smith-Green Community Schools (SGCS) Board of Trustees heard no public comment at its hearing for the 2014 budget, and will look to adopt it in October.
The public comment was the final phase of the budget process before adoption.
Business Manager Todd Fleetwood said the advertised budget for this year is lower than what last yearâs approved budget was and lower than 2012âs.
Fleetwood said the actual budget often is lower than advertised, because he overestimates based on the chance the district might need more faculty.

Lucas Junk, 2, was the second toddler in four months in Whitley County who lost his life in a matter of minutes after falling into a body of water.
CHURUBUSCO â A small engine repair and tool rental business in Churubusco was damaged Wednesday in a fire.
At approximately 2:10 p.m., crews were called to Precision Sharpening and Engine.

Officials say the fire started after electrical wiring in the attic shorted out and ignited the insulation.
COLUMBIA CITY â An 18-year-old man will stand trial next week for attempted murder.
Dakota R. Kimbler, 18, will have his trial begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday in Whitley County Circuit Court. The jury will convene at that time.
Kimbler was arrested Dec. 9 of last year, when he was 17 years old. In addition to attempted murder, he was also charged with receiving stolen property, battery causing bodily injury and carrying a handgun without a permit.
Outside of the Haunted Jail, in Columbia City, a dying tree was transformed into a ghoulish figure by its owner, Paul Harrington.
The Haunted Jail opens for a âfriends and familyâ weekend to serve as the attractionâs dress rehearsal.
The Halloween-themed affair will begin its season in the following weekends.
LARWILL â A community health fair is slated for Saturday at Whitko Middle School from 8 a.m. to noon.
Sara St. Clair, Whitko Community School Corporation nurse, is coordinating the event, and said the fair is intended to take a âfunâ approach to health.
âWe wanted to do something to give parents a way to meet their health needs,â St. Clair said. âThe fair will put information in their hands about preventative care as well as present health care concerns, and itâs all under one roof.â
More than 40 health care vendors will be set up to offer aid in social, mental and physical care.
A beekeeper, Mike Lewis, spoke on how to raise honey bees at a new series of monthly workshops hosted by the Whole Health Wellness Center, Inc., a nonprofit community garden and education center.
The event was held at the Whitley County YMCA Tuesday night and gave participants information on making their own honey.
Next month, the workshop is slated for Oct. 19 from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Y, and will feature Joy Gilraine, of Columbia City, as the guest speaker. She will be offering her tips on how to can and freeze vegetables. Workshops are free and open to the public.
CHURUBUSCO (Sept. 25, 2013) â A Churubusco business caught fire this afternoon. Fire crews fought a fire on the roof afternoon after an employee thought he smelled something burning and discovered a fire in the attic.
According to Jim Horne, Captain of the Smith Township Fire Department, crews were called out to the fire at Precision Sharpening and Engine, located at 8435 U.S. 33, at around 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday.
Horne said one of the workers thought he smelled burning wires and then discovered smoke and flames in the attic.
COLUMBIA CITY â A $400 per year purchase is going a long way for several department heads in Columbia City.
This year, the city decided to go with a new weather service, WeatherSentry by Schneider Electric, and Communications Director Terry Wherry said the service has been very beneficial.
âThe $400 extra is nothing for the information weâre getting from this service,â Wherry said.
The communications, electric and parks department are splitting the cost of the weather service, which Wherry said provides more than weather radar.

The India vs New Zealand warm-up game for the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 will begin from 1:30 pm onwards in the Indian subcontinent. The Indian cricket team will be keen on getting its combination right. With four days to go until their first game at the World Cup, the teams will be waiting for everything to fall into place. So, what are the top 3 things to look forward to, from the perspective of the Indian cricket team, in the India VS New Zealand Warm-up Game?
1) Does Rishabh Pant Get an Opportunity in India VS New Zealand Warm Up Game:
The Indian Cricket Team does not have a left-hander till number 7 when Axar Patel gets an opportunity to bat. The Indian team was relying on Jadeja to bat at number 4! But with Jaddu out due to injury, that plan has failed miserably! But India does have Rishabh Pant who can go big in important games. He has been the boy with immense potential in the T20 format. His numbers in this format are not very lucrative or impressive. He is a part of the team based on potential only! But that potential can be unleashed if he is given n number of opportunities, isn’t it? Will one of his chances be at the India VS New Zealand game? only time will tell!
2) Mohammed Shami to fix India’s Death Bowling Issues?
Mohammed Shami, the man who last played a T20I in the last T20 World Cup is also a part of the Indian cricket team. With the Indian team looking for a bowler to fix its death bowling issues, Shami’s name does come to mind. He took 3 wickets in that last over against Australia and his yorkers were very precise. Shami has that pace that is required to frighten the opposition. Earlier the quickest bloke in the team was Arshdeep who bowled 135 clicks. Even Hardik was bowling faster than that at times. Mohammed Shami seems to be a “must” in the playing 11! The India VS New Zealand game might see him bowling a few more overs at the death!
3) Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to hit form in India VS New Zealand Warm-Up Game:
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are timing the ball very well but they need to be in the flaming best if the Indian team has to go all the way. If one of these batters plays well, an Indian victory is certain on that day. Rohit especially has looked a bit off-color, off-late. He is timing the ball well but his shot selection has been poor. The Pakistani bowlers are expected to test the Indian batting with short bowling too. It was the strategy used by the Australians too!

Plans for a digital services tax to hit the largest IT digital giants will go ahead from 1 April
As announced at Budget 2018, the government will introduce a new 2% tax on the revenues certain digital businesses earn from 1 April 2020.
This will ensure the amount of tax paid in the UK reflects the value these businesses derive from their interactions with, and the contributions of, an active user base.
There has also been an amendment to planned payment period, with the government stating that legislation will require businesses to pay the DST quarterly rather than annually as per the draft legislation for Finance Bill 2019, published in July 2019.
The government said it will keep the system under review to see how the legislation applies to marketplace delivery fees and whether that application is consistent with the policy rationale of the DST.
In line with G20 countries, the UK is looking for an OECD solution to the issue and this is currently at the proposal stage with plans at draft stage to introduce a global digital taxation framework.
The Red Book confirmed that the UK government will repeal the DST once an appropriate global solution is in place.
A single entity in the group will be responsible for reporting the DST to HMRC. Groups can nominate an entity to fulfil these responsibilities. Otherwise, the ultimate parent of the group will be responsible. The DST will be payable and reportable on an annual basis.
Chris Sanger, EY’s head of tax policy, said: ‘The Chancellor chose to proceed with the new DST that was invented under his predecessor’s predecessor. There has been much speculation that the Chancellor might defer the introduction, having seen the debate between the US and France. Following the threat of tariffs, the French government agreed to defer collection DST on this year’s revenue until 2021.
‘Despite the government’s own scorecard showing the advancing of the liability due to the way that the government accounts for tax, the Chancellor has followed his French counterpart by deferring payment into 2021. More widely, despite the changes since the tax was introduced, it still seems that the Exchequer believes it will raise £440m per year.’
The Treasury’s impact note suggests HMRC will incur costs of up to £8m to enable both new IT systems and processes to be developed as well as additional staff to monitor and administer the new tax.
There are also concerns that this tax, although it could be shortlived if the OECD introduces a global framework for digital taxation, will have a creep effect, capturing further companies.
Zubin Patel, international tax partner at Deloitte, said: ‘In-scope companies will be concerned that the digital services tax may lead to double taxation and will also need to accelerate their preparations for the new tax given how practically complex the calculations are likely to be.
‘Companies with digital businesses not currently in-scope will be concerned that they will, in time, drift into the rules as businesses increasingly seek to monetise and build their brands digitally through online platforms and social media features. There is a risk that the measure could result in a short-term squeeze in investment and growth among the UK digital sector.
‘The announcement has confirmed the direction of travel, at least for the timebeing. But with the OECD looking to establish a global set of rules for digital taxation by the end of this year, the digital services tax could be short-lived.’

A lamp symbolizes the light of dignity with wisdom. Lamps are also a symbol of guidance. There are various devices which produces light or sometimes heat such as lamp, a device which is made up of an electric bulb together with its fitting and shade of cover.
There are many characteristics of a good lamp such as intensity should be equal to +/-10% which totally depends on batch, voltage should be equal to 20/21 Volts which is fully rated voltage, color temperature should be 3100 to 3400’K , mean light should be 42 to 6000hour and many more.
There are many types of lamps like:
• Incandescent lamps
• Tungsten lamps
• Halogen lamps
• Fluorescent lamps
• Compact fluorescent lamps
• Mercury Vapour lamps
• Metal Halide lamps
• High pressure sodium vapour lamp
• Low pressure sodium vapour lamp
• LED lamps
When we check a detailed description of metal halide lamps then we find that it’s a type of high intensity, discharge gas, discharge lamps which produces light through an electric arc by a gaseous mixture of vapourized mercury and metal halide.
The common metal halide compound which is used to made metal halide lamp is Sodium Iodide. The lamp consists of a fused, quartz or ceramic are tube which contains gas which is enclosed inside a larger glass bulb coated to filter out the ultraviolet light.
Metal Halide used for general lighting purpose both indoor and outdoor, automobile headlight which is commonly known as zenon head lamps and for indoor growing applications who needs a high intensity light source for their corals.
Metal Halide lamps are quite versatile and it can be also used for a wide range of lightning. It is also known as for its natural white light.
Metal Halide is made up of an arc tuber with electrodes in outer bulb and a base .
Its color depends upon the type of metal halide salt which is used to made the lamp.
Metal halide technology works by a passing electrical current by a mix of gasses, creating light. The bulb is made up of two primary parts namely: inner arc tube and outer bulb. When the lamp is off, the mercury and metal halide salts are liquidize inside the inner arc tube.
There are two electrode are on each end of the inner arc tube. When current passes the lamp from electrode to the another electrode it heats the mercury and metal halide salts content in the inner arc tube, its converts it to gas and their atoms move away from the electrical are by which they create light. This is why it takes 1 to 15 minutes to warm up a metal halide lamp.
Sodium vapour is a type of electrical lamp consisting of a glass tube containing neon and sodium vapour at low pressure in an excited state to produce orange light at a wavelength near 589nm. Basically there are two varieties of such lamps namely
• Low pressure sodium lamps
• High pressure Sodium lamps
These lamps are used in street lightning, industry lightning and specially manufacturing facilities which used as plant grow. They contains mercury .They are also used as outdoor area lights such as on roadways, parking lots , securities area. These lamps are some of the best efficient lamps in the world. They are very efficient in turning 1 watt of power into a whopping to 100lumens.
Low Pressure Sodium lamps have a borosilicate glass gas arc tube which contains solid sodium , a small amount of neon and argon gas in a Penning mixture to start the gas arc. These arc tube may be linear or U- shaped. When lamps sstarts, it emits the dim red/pink light to heat the sodium metal and after few minutes when sodium metal vaporizes the emission becomes the bright yellow color. Sodium vapour process is also referred as a yellow screen, a film technique realize on narrow bond characteristics of Low Pressure Sodium Lamps.
The color negative film is typically not sensitive to the yellow light from low power sodium lamps but specially black and white film is able to recorded.
Low Pressure Sodium Lights has consistently maintained its invincible position as the most of efficient light shows available on the Earth, but in recent years a slow declines shows in its market as many countries in the vicinity of important auto-nominal observation in the view of greatly reduced light pollution it causes.
Low Pressure Sodium Lamps and High Pressure Sodium Lamps belongs to high intensity discharge lamps which produce light by exciting gases and vapourizes metal with the use of current for exiciting them to produce light.
During a research, it was observed that as yellow surroundings provided by a Low Pressure Sodium Lamps iinstallation enhanced the noticibility of arc head directional science lighted with color contrast sources. It is commonly used as outdoor lightning because the yellow color does not attract insects but it also distorts.
High Pressure sodium Vapour Lamps are quite similar to Low Pressure Sodium Vapour Lamps as they both are a type of gas discharge light. The tube is made up of aluminum oxide and sodium metal is combined with many other elements like necessary which balances the yellow glass color with some white to light blue color emissions.
Deficiencies in this lighting :-
• Sodium vapour light have the worst color rendering on the lamps market particularly Low Pressure Sodium Lamps which are monochromatic it means that the object was eliminated by them because of shadowy black color appearances rather than the color you would see during sun light.

NEW DELHI: The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Saturday announced the construction of a new interchange hub at the R K Ashram Marg metro station on blue line which will provide a shorter route from central to north Delhi. The new underground station will be constructed adjacent to the existing elevated station. This interchange will provide a convenient mode of transit and will help in decongesting the currently busy blue line, as per the officials.
This development comes a day after the government said that it will take up a megaproject to improve last-mile connectivity for commuters at the IIT Delhi and the Panchsheel Park metro stations. Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia approved the construction work of two multi- modal integration systems worth `4.59 crore and said that combined efforts by the Public Work Department (PWD) and the DMRC will reduce the cost of the project and save time.

Norway can now export bluefin tuna that is fished beyond the vessel’s quota, which they say adds greater flexibility in exporting the fish
In fisheries negotiations this week, Norway gained support for greater flexibility in the regulations that regulate the export of bluefin tuna.
According to the Norwegian Ministry of Fisheries, this means that Norway can now export tuna that is fished beyond the vessel’s quota, which they say adds greater flexibility in exporting the fish.
The Agreement was reached at the annual meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICAAT).
“I am very pleased that we got approval for this proposal.,” says the Norwegian State Secretary, Vidar Ulriksen. “In anticipation of the national market being built up, we can sell the tuna abroad and, in that way, prevent this fantastic and wonderful food from being destroyed because it is not sold.”
The total quota for bluefin tuna has been continued at 36,000 tonnes also in 2022, and the Norwegian share is 300 tonnes. Up to 15 tonnes of the 2021 quota can be transferred to 2022, which will give a Norwegian quota of 315 tonnes in 2022.
Live storage of bluefin tuna
In the negotiations, Norway presented a document on live storage of bluefin tuna in Norway. There are currently no regulations in ICCAT that take such a concept into account. Norway asked the other member states for input on how to develop a regulatory framework in ICCAT that takes the concept into account. Norway was encouraged to submit a proposal for regulations to the annual meeting of ICCAT in 2022.
“We in Norway have extensive experience with live storage of cod. Now we will use these experiences to work with the possibilities of establishing a regulatory framework for live storage of mackerel sturgeon, and we will do what we can to establish framework conditions that can enable the greatest possible value creation of bluefin tuna as well,” says Vidar Ulriksen.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are investigating a “preliminary signal” of the likelihood of a stroke among elderly people who received a Covid-19 vaccine booster manufactured by Pfizer Inc PFE and BioNTech SE BNTX.
The CDC identified the safety signal through its vaccine-safety datalink system, or VSD, which it calls a “near real-time” monitoring system. The system triggered an investigation if people 65 years and above who received Pfizer’s booster and afterward were more likely to have a stroke within 21 days after getting the shot than in days 22-42 after vaccination.
The CDC called the findings highly preliminary and said that “no other safety systems have shown a similar signal, and multiple subsequent analyses have not validated this signal.” That included analysis of other large vaccine datasets from Medicare, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the companies’ monitoring programs, and a vaccine side-effect reporting collection tool known as VAERS.
All signals require further investigation and confirmation from formal epidemiologic studies.
“Often these safety systems detect signals that could be due to factors other than the vaccine itself,” the CDC said. No such signal was found with Moderna Inc’s MRNA updated booster.
The CDC said it wasn’t making any changes to its vaccine recommendations.
“Although the totality of the data currently suggests that it is very unlikely that the signal in VSD represents a true clinical risk, we believe it is important to share this information with the public,” the CDC said.
Price Action: PFE shares closed at $47.70, and BNTX shares closed at $145.05 on Friday.

PJ Haverty has an old man on a bike to thank for helping trace his mother.
But despite the fact that she remained devoted to the Church until she died, the 69-year-old has the Catholic Church to thank for destroying his chances of having a normal relationship with her.
She was 27 when Eileen gave birth to him at the St Mary’s Mother and Baby Home in Tuam in 1951.
Not having married, her parents had been told by their parish priest to send her there to have her child because she was a sinner.
He had also informed her parents that she could no longer go to church because she had brought shame on the family.
PJ knew nothing of this when he was young, and he barely even remembers the years he spent in Tuam.
“And I remember being marched down the street from the home holding the hand of another child to the local school.
“Other than that, I don’t remember anything.
“It’s odd and I’ve heard other survivors of that home say the same thing to me over the years.”
He was given to a foster home in Menlough, near Tuam, when he was about seven, and his foster parents Teresa and Mikey Hansbury reared him as their own.
They took up fostering after they discovered they couldn’t have children of their own.
When PJ was in his early 20s, he started to try and find out who his mother was.
“My foster mother was determined I would meet my natural mother and she went to great lengths to help make that happen,“ he said.
They found out that his mother had come from Eyrecourt, near Portumna, Co. Galway. So PJ duly drove there and started to ask around.
“In the beginning, nobody would tell me anything,” he said.
“One day I went up and I met this old man on a bicycle and I asked him about the Havertys - my mother’s family name.
“And he said the old people were dead but he said they had two daughters and one of them was pregnant and she was a lovely decent girl.
“He said that she had disappeared and they never saw her again, but he said she has a sister, married down near Eyrecourt.”
The old man described what house she lived in and how to get there.
“I took a chance of knocking on the door,” he recalled.
“I was a bit anxious because I didn’t know what to expect but I thought I’d take a chance
“She had only part of the door opened and her husband came to the door
“I could see a look on her face and I got worried.
“I didn’t feel welcome so I apologised, and said I must have the wrong house.”
A short while later, a letter arrived at his house from his mother.
The woman who had come to the door in Eyrecourt had been his aunt, and she had indeed recognized PJ, who was 22 at the time.
She had written to his mother and told her that a man who “looks like PJ” had called to the house.
“I don’t know all the details of how the letter got to me but my foster mother was very good and she made a lot of things possible,” he said.
Excited to finally find his mother, and be in with a chance to meet her, they arranged for him to drive over to London and meet.
He drove from Dublin’s North Wall over to Liverpool and then stayed overnight with relatives in Manchester, before driving down to London.
Despite his anticipation about the moment he would finally meet her, it did not go as he had hoped.
For a start, the bond he thought might emerge at the moment they set eyes on each other didn’t happen.
“When I pulled up outside the house with my car they came out, but there was nothing,” he recalled.
“The reality is that my foster mother became my mother and there was more bonding with her than there was with my natural mother
“It felt strange."
He added: “We got out of the car, I went up and gave her a hug and shook her hand and I shook her husband’s hand."
His mother not only had tea laid out in the front room, but she had also expected him to stay overnight and that they would have a quiet talk between themselves.
But as he had arrived with his foster mother’s sister, her husband and her cousin - all of whom he had stayed with at the various stages of his trip to her home in Brixton in 1976 - it didn’t give her the freedom to talk to him.
“All my life I had asked her in my head why she had left me in Tuam," he said.
“Why didn’t she take me away with her?
“She said she did her best to get me out of St Mary’s in Tuam but the nuns wouldn’t allow it
"She was saying how her parents were disgusted about how she got pregnant and about it being a Catholic country and dictated to by the Church.
"We came home and I got a letter from her in which she said she was delighted to meet me."
But they didn’t hear from her again, until one day in around 1995 he got a letter out of the blue.
“My mother said she wanted to know if she could become part of the family,” he said.
“And she said she was very sorry she hadn’t kept in contact but her husband had died shortly after we had been there at her house when we had met for the first time.
PJ’s wife Eileen and himself arranged to not only meet up again in London, but they promised they would show her three grandsons, John, Kevin and Connor.
Because his foster parents were quite ill for a number of years, they didn't meet back in Brixton until 2011.
They took her down for a coffee and a snack in a local cafe and it was there that PJ saw something that brought a bittersweet memory flooding back to him.
“She sat across the table from me, and I was going to ask her about Tuam and more," he recalled.
“But then suddenly I saw a smile on her face, and a look."
He paused as his voice crumbled slightly and he drew a breath.
“When I was in the foster home and I was bringing cows in one evening, this car came over the hill,” he recalled.
“And I just had the cows out on the road. I must have been about 14 at the time. And there were two ladies in the car and the lady on the passenger side rolled the window down.
“And she had asked me where the Hansburys were. So I told her and then I apologised about the cows being on the road.
“And she had a look and a smile on her face as we talked. And as we sat in that Brixton cafe all those years later, I recognised that very look and smile on her face.
“I had actually seen her in the car, I had been talking to her as a child, and all the while not realising that she had been my mother.
“So that is why she couldn’t open her mouth in the car to say who she was.
“She couldn’t tell me that she was my mother, and I would never know for years the extent to which she had tried desperately to get me back.”
Sadly, when they did meet up again a few months later, his mother didn’t recognise him. She had Alzeihmers.
“It was heartbreaking,” he said. “As I crossed the street to greet her, I said ‘How are you mother?
“And she told me to get out of the way.
“And I said ‘I’m PJ, and I am your son’. She said ‘I have no son, get out of my way, leave me alone and let me get to Mass’.”
A few weeks later, PJ was called by a social worker in England to tell him his mother had died.
When he and his wife went to her funeral, everybody - including the parish priests - were shocked that she had had a son.
“Everyone was asking us why she didn't tell us,” he said. “So I explained to them.
“I told them that she was afraid the door of the Church would be locked in her face because she had had a son out of wedlock and that she had been told she was a sinner.”

Mosquitoes infected with West Nile virus (WNV) are typically present in NYC from July through October, with peak activity during August and September.
Infected mosquitoes can spread WNV to people through a bite. Two human cases have been reported, one each in Brooklyn and Queens.
In the United States, a total of 54 cases with four deaths have been reported this year.
“We are in the height of West Nile virus season, but there are things you can do to decrease your risk of being bitten,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan. “Use an EPA registered insect repellent, and wear long sleeves and pants, especially when outside at dusk and dawn when the types of mosquitoes that transmit WNV are most active. In addition, you can stop mosquitoes from laying eggs in the water by emptying outdoor containers that hold water or calling 311 if you see standing water that you cannot empty. Help keep you and your loved ones safe with these actions during WNV season.”
In the City, mosquito and WNV activity is rising, with a total of 1,068 positive mosquito pools across the five boroughs—the highest number ever recorded—compared to 779 positive pools detected at this time last year. An average of 77 mosquitoes were caught in each trap per day, compared to 75 mosquitos per trap per day for the same period in 2021. Once trapped, a large number of mosquitoes are then tested in a single pooled sample or “pool.”
Most people infected with WNV have no symptoms at all or develop fever and other symptoms including headache, fever, muscle aches, and extreme fatigue.
While the majority of patients infected with WNV will go on to fully recover from their illness, some continue to have problems months after infection.
In addition, some people (about 1 in 150), especially those 60 years and older or with a weakened immune system, can develop a serious and potentially fatal illness of the brain and spinal cord called West Nile neuroinvasive disease (WNND) leading to changes in mental status and muscle weakness requiring hospitalization.
If a person has symptoms of WNV, they should contact their health care provider.
West Nile virus was first detected in New York City 21 years ago. Over the past decade, an average of 16 people (ages ranging from 6 to 30 years) have been diagnosed with WNND per year in NYC; their median age was 62 years and the case fatality rate was 14% (23 deaths).
New York City has more than 40 species of mosquitoes, but West Nile virus is transmitted primarily by several Culex species, including Culex salinarius and Culex pipiens.
Most New Yorkers diagnosed with WNV report that they did not use repellent or take other precautions to prevent mosquito bites.
Remember to obtain repellent for yourself and also offer to get it for your older neighbors and relatives. For information about which repellents work best, visit the EPA website to search by product and duration of effectiveness.
The Health Department has successfully helped control mosquito-borne diseases since the West Nile virus was first detected.
The agency’s comprehensive, data-driven approach to mosquito control efforts relies on mosquito trapping and testing results to determine areas of the city to spray pesticide and apply larvicide by helicopter, truck or backpacks.
Throughout the early spring and summer, the Department conducts regular mosquito surveillance with 50 permanent surveillance traps in the five boroughs and installs additional traps around affected areas to enhance surveillance (106 traps currently).
The City controls the mosquito population by applying larvicide in catch basins, marshland and other areas with standing water.
The Health Department has already begun catch basin larviciding, with two helicopter-based larviciding events each in the marsh areas of Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx.
In addition, the Department sprays pesticides to target adult mosquitoes where persistent West Nile virus activity is detected, with six adulticiding events in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island this season.
To further reduce mosquito populations, the Health Department also removes standing water and applies larvicide to sites that cannot be emptied or drained; investigates standing water complaints filed through 311; and educates the public about mosquito-borne illnesses through outreach, conducting 80 to 90 presentations annually to educate communities about mosquito-borne illnesses.
Reducing Exposure to Mosquitoes
- Use an approved insect repellent containing picaridin, DEET, oil of lemon eucalyptus (not for children under three), or products that contain the active ingredient IR3535. Visit the EPA site to search by product and duration of effectiveness.
- Make sure windows have screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears or holes.
- Eliminate any standing water from your property and dispose of containers that can collect water. Standing water is a violation of the New York City Health Code.
- Make sure roof gutters are clean and drained properly.
- Clean and chlorinate swimming pools, outdoor saunas and hot tubs. Keep them empty or covered if not in use. Drain water that collects in pool covers.

LibreOffice 6.2.8 Crack
Download >>> https://bytlly.com/2sBTtA
I tried several approaches toward this point: Check if all PPAs are disabled. I disabled secureboot-db from additional sources. I downloaded and installed the distro upgrade utility. I created a live USB with the distro upgrade utility. I disabled any failed PPA and downloaded updated LO from where I got the current LO version from. I downloaded the current stable from LO website: https://download.libreoffice.org/release/6.0.6/6.0.6_rc4/win32/install-win.exe I installed LibreOffice, and voila! 1I don't think there is a LICENSING issue. It's just an incompatible installation. If it wouldn't do that for you, the GPG signature would be fine.
Filltbouwer: Hmm, I didn't try this myself yet, but I think all you need to do is type about 5 commands in a Terminal window and it will work. Once you \"install\" LibreOffice the dist-upgrade should \"fix\" whatever prior errors it had when trying to upgrade to a newer version.
Steps to get libreoffice working on Manjaro:1-Enter Preinstalled Sources list> source sourec-add libreoffice-gtk_6.2.8-0-i386.deb this will add libreoffice-gtk 6.2.8-0-i386...this one i tryed and was working until KDE was updated. i got KDE and lost libreoffice.2-No errors at all.3-Now how to upgrade libreofficeto 6.4?
But I do not want to upgrade just yet. I want to help resolve the show-stopper bug in the first stable version of LM 20.3 which got me neworked and unable to work for 2 days. Its on my todo for today. 7211a4ac4a

Tears may send a sexual message in addition to an emotional one, study finds
Friday, January 7, 2011; 12:00 AM
It's widely held that a woman's tears will turn a man to mush. And many think that sympathetic response is a sign of sensitivity, a psychological shift away from baser male impulses.
But new research suggests that much of the response may be involuntary and that men are unable to help themselves. The smell of a woman's tears, the study found, is associated with a dip in testosterone, the principal male hormone, and a general decline in sexual arousal.
"We've identified that there is a chemosignal in human tears," said Noam Sobel, a neuroscientist at the Weizmann Institute of Science near Tel Aviv. Sobel headed the study, which involved exposing men to tears collected in vials. It was published online Thursday by the journal Science.
Historically, tears have been of more interest to poets than scientists.
"Emotional tears" are considered by many biologists to be uniquely human. They're known to have a different chemical composition than tears shed when the eye is simply irritated. The few studies of tears' psychological effects suggest they have a help-soliciting function.
Whether the quenching of ardor is a big part of their evolutionary function or a side effect of a more complicated care-giving response isn't known. But it now seems clear they contain substances that work unconsciously on others.
For practical reasons, Sobel and his colleagues have studied only women's tears. But they suspect that men's tears, and possibly children's, also contain chemical signals and are eager to find out what messages they may convey.
"This experiment opened gazillions of questions. It opened way more questions than it answered," Sobel said.
The new study places human tears in a family of fluids that includes urine and anogenital gland secretions.
Those fluids contain behavior-altering compounds, known as pheromones. Research in rodents has shown that liquids secreted from glands near the eye have a variety of social effects. In mole rats, they reduce aggressiveness in head-to-head underground confrontations. In mice, they stimulate aggression between males but promote mating behavior between males and females.
"What we have found is that human emotional crying may not be so unique after all," Sobel said. "It is a reflection of something common to many if not all mammals, which is chemosignaling through lacrimal secretions."
The study, which entailed collecting tears and exposing people to them in a laboratory, was greeted positively by the small circle of researchers who study crying.


Pop starlet Katy Perry is set to steal the King of Pop’s errrr, crown, with the release of her new single seeing her poised to be the first artist to score five number one singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart since Michael Jackson smashed it out with five number ones from the last decent record he made, 1987’s Bad. Her new single ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),’ has already topped the Billboard pop charts and is set to cross over to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. She’s already had four number ones from the album, including ‘California Gurls’, ‘Teenage Dream’, ‘Firework’ and ‘E.T.’ and pundits predict that if ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) is to go to number one as expected, a sixth single, ‘Peacock’ may be extracted from it.
Michael Jackson’s record was held for 24 years, with the five consecutive singles from Bad going to Number one on the Billboard Hot 100 including ‘I Just Can’t Stop Loving You’, ‘Bad’, ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’, ‘Man in the Mirror’ and ‘Dirty Diana’. Bad sold 30 million copies and saw 10 of the 11 songs on the album released as singles, although one was a promotional single and one was not released in the USA.Write a Letter to the Editor
