A HISTORIC tower was due to reopen on August 29 after it was rebuilt brick by brick to stop it falling in to the sea.
Clavell Tower was perched perilously close to the cliff edge at Kimmeridge Bay and was at risk of a watery grave thanks to coastal erosion.
An 18-month project, costing £898,000, has seen the monument on the World Heritage Jurassic Coast dismantled by specialist builders, with each of the 16,272 stones numbered and recorded.
The four-storey ruin was then rebuilt 82ft inland using as much original material as possible.
The Landmark Trust is reopening the tower today, ready for people to visit on Sunday and Monday.
Peter Pearce, director at the trust, said: "The tower's future is secure and it can now resume its role as sentinel on this stretch of coastline.
"Its familiar silhouette will continue to welcome the many thousands of people who visit and walk in Kimmeridge Bay each year."
The monument was built by the Rev John Richards Clavell in 1830 as an observatory and folly, with four storeys, including a basement, and a distinctive Tuscan colonnade.
It was used by coastguards but then fell into disuse, becoming derelict after it was gutted by fire in the 1930s.
It was the inspiration behind crime writer PD James' novel The Black Tower and the author backed the campaign to save the building, which is also known as the Tower of the Winds.
Writer Thomas Hardy often took his first love Eliza Nicholl to the Grade II-listed tower to court her and used an illustration of the landmark building opposite the title page in his Wessex Poems.
Adrian Tinniswood, of the Heritage Lottery Fund, said: "The Clavell Tower defines the local landscape and coastline."
The Landmark Trust, leaseholder of the tower, launched an appeal in 2004 to raise money to save it, later securing a £436,000 lottery grant.
It plans to let the tower out for holidays to make it self-financing.

After the House of Representatives passed a resolution Tuesday condemning President Trump’s “racist comments” against four Democratic congresswomen, Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) filed articles of impeachment against the president.
Trump tweeted at the lawmakers — all women of color — to “go back” to their home countries. In his resolution, Green wrote that “Trump has, by his statements, brought the high office of the president of the United States in contempt, ridicule, disgrace, and disrepute, has sown discord among the people of the United States, has demonstrated that he is unfit to be president, and has betrayed his trust as president of the United States to the manifest injury of the people of the United States, and has committed a high misdemeanor in office.”
Green told Democratic leaders earlier in the day what he planned on doing, The Washington Post reports, and they now have three choices: let the vote proceed, attempt to table the impeachment articles, or refer them to the House Judiciary Committee. Under House rules, Green can force a vote in two legislative days. More than 80 members of the House of Representatives have said they want to launch an impeachment inquiry.
Democrats are divided on what to do about impeachment, with some all for it and others — especially those who represent districts won by Trump in 2016 — wary. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has said she would rather the American people vote Trump out next year, and while Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) supports impeachment, he told the Post, “We’re trying to keep the caucus together as we respond to the most lawless administration of our lifetimes. I’m enough of a political pragmatist to believe that you call votes when you think you can win them, not when you think you can lose them.” Catherine Garcia
UK prime minister candidates both say they would not support US strikes against Iran – The Week Magazine


Politico reports: With the White House struggling to gain its footing almost two months into Donald Trump’s presidency, administration officials are increasingly putting the blame on one person: Reince Priebus.
In interviews, over a dozen Trump aides, allies, and others close to the White House said that Priebus, the 44-year-old chief of staff, was becoming a singular target of criticism within the White House.
They described a micro-manager who sprints from one West Wing meeting to another, inserting himself into conversations big and small and leaving many staffers feeling as if he’s trying to block their access to Trump. They vented about his determination to fill the administration with his political allies. And they expressed alarm at what they say are directionless morning staff meetings Priebus oversees that could otherwise be used to rigorously set the day’s agenda and counterbalance the president’s own unpredictability.
The finger-pointing further complicates life in an already turmoil-filled West Wing, one that has been hobbled by dueling power centers and unclear lines of command. [Continue reading…]

Immigrant population in Arizona increases to nearly 1 million in 2016
PHOENIX — There’s one state that a large number of immigrants like to call home: Arizona.
Arizona was among the states with the largest increase in immigrants — both legal and illegal — between 2010 and 2016, according to the non-profit organization Center for Immigration Studies.
The number of immigrants increased by more than 78,000 over that six-year period, jumping from 856,663 in 2010 to 934,883 in 2016.
This put Arizona among the top 15 states in the nation for immigrant growth, joining the likes of states that included Texas, Florida, California, New York and New Jersey.
The trend in Arizona represents the same pattern nationwide: The national immigrant population increased by 3.8 million from 2010 to 43.7 million in 2016, making up more than 13 percent of the entire population.
A majority of those immigrants came from Mexico, with 1.1 million new immigrants arriving from the country between 2010 and 2016.
But due to return migration and natural mortality, the overall Mexican-born population has not increased in that same time period.
However, the numbers for Arizona may not be accurate in 2017.
More than 5,000 illegal immigrants were removed from Arizona in the first three months of 2017 alone, according to data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In an email, ICE said 5,283 people had been removed as of March 31. Of those, 1,780 were removed from the state in January, followed by 1,613 in February and 1,890 in March.
The figures include immigrants who were forcibly deported, those who voluntarily deported and those removed from the country by Border Patrol.

As he tries so hard of being and adult he has a sexual desire that as a virgin he wants to satisfy. Most of time he is thinking about women, it is notable how bad he wants to lose his virginity.
Holden Caulfield is a very complex character, he has a mixture of rebellion, insecurity, depression,cowardice and conceit.
He is a loner by choice but also seeks company. He lies but at the same time he has some very strong values.
He tries to face situations like someone rough and rebel but deep inside he only covers himself, because he is afraid. All these contradictions are what make Holden as a person and have built his outstanding essence and personality all throughout the book.Light's Shinigami sidekick, and the one who dropped Light's Death Note on Earth in the first place.

On September 28, 2012, the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) proposed a new rule that would require all employers to create and maintain job descriptions for anyone who performed services for the employer over the last four years.
Specifically, the TWC proposes to add Section 817.7 to Title 40 of the Texas Administrative Code, by requiring the following of employers:
- Maintain "a job description of duties performed by any individual who is performing or has performed services for the employer";
- Keep personal data on all such individuals, including dates and times worked.
Despite the inclusion of the proposed rule in a section of the code involving child labor, it nevertheless appears applicable to all employers.
If enacted, this rule will impose a completely new requirement upon Texas employers to create and maintain job descriptions for all employees, as well as independent contractors. In addition, the rule will require maintenance of records regarding employees - whether full-time, part-time, or temporary - and independent contractors. Obviously, this proposed rule has the potential to create a very substantial burden on employers.
The TWC will consider comments on the proposed rule postmarked by Sunday, October 28. We urge you to send your remarks to the TWC and express the magnitude this ruling will have on your business and your human resources personnel. We are available to help you in drafting and submitting statements specific to your industry and business.

Renewed Or Cancelled?
Oddballs is a charming kid’s show full of humour and creativity. After finishing all 12 episodes, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know:
What is Oddballs about?
Oddballs centers on a marshmallow-looking boy called James, who’s joined by his crazy crocodile pal Max as they navigate the world and get into different misadventures. Each chapter explores and pokes fun of tropes, puns and social issues, spinning them in a way where there’s both a moral lesson at work and a good dose of creativity to boot.
There is a longer thread running through this, with the finale linking back to earlier episodes, but I’m not about to spoil that here as the reveal is a lovely way of tying everything together. For the most part though, the content here work as standalone episodic romps, so it’s very easy to slip in and out of this one. Although I would recommend watching the lot as there are characters here that tie into the bigger picture.
We have extensive coverage of Oddballs across the site, including a full season review. You can find that HERE!
Has Oddballs been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, Oddballs has not been renewed for a second season. Given the nature of the show’s content, that could well change if it does good numbers for Netflix.
Generally Netflix gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate. With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly (ala. Squid Game, Bridgerton & Irregulars) Other times, it can take months before Netflix make a decision over a show’s future.
So far, Oddballs has had a pretty positive reception with critics and audiences alike really digging this one.
Taking everything into consideration, given how popular TheOdd1sOut’s YouTube Channel is, and the potential audience size for this project, we’re predicting that Oddballs will be renewed for a second season. This is the perfect sort of show to binge through, and one that both adults and kids can enjoy.
We’ll be sure to update this section with accurate details over the coming weeks and months when we know more!
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about season 2 at this point, given Netflix have not green-lit a sequel. However, there’s certainly scope for another season.
At the end, we learnt that our little evil toaster didn’t die after all and is responsible for the food crisis currently gripping the future. The future that Echo has been trying to stop. A second season could potentially tackle that head on, with more humour and a fight for the future!
As mentioned above, we predict that this will be renewed but we’ll be sure to update this page in the future when more information is known though!
Would you like to see Oddballs return for a second season? What did you think of the show? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Lady Cards get hot from 3 in win over NSU
Published 7:31 pm, Saturday, January 17, 2015
It took Lamar a little while to get going Saturday, but the Lady Cardinals eventually found their shooting stroke.
After missing nine of its first 12 3-pointers, Lamar made 15 of its final 26 en route to setting a school record and tying the Southland Conference record for 3-pointers in a game with 18 in an 82-72 victory over Northwestern State.
Shauna Long and Teleshia Riley each hit five 3-pointers in the game as five Lady Cardinals hit multiple 3-point shots and finished in double figures. Long led the way with 19 points while Riley added 15 and Dominique Edwards finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
The Lady Cardinals (8-9, 5-1 SLC) entered the game shooting 30 percent from 3 on the season and making just over six per game. But coach Robin Harmony said with Northwestern playing exclusively in a zone defense, she put four shooters on the floor and it paid off.
"The kids got hot, opened up the perimeter and then we went inside and got a couple of old-fashioned three-pointers by and-ones," Harmony said. "When you hit a 3, it just builds the confidence of the whole team."

We care about the people we work with. That’s why we offer benefits designed to help you and your family stay healthy. This includes self-directed budgets to support learning and growth, and catered meals and housecleaning to save you time.
Best: The food, the healthcare benefits and the insurances, flex spending lifestyle account, felt vacation time, working from home policy Worst: No RRSP matching
As an intern, I did not receive the benefits that full-time did. However, they did help subsidize housing.
Great compensation, travel policies, health benefits and RRSP contribution.
The benefits package is full and very flexible. While it hasn't been my personal experience, I have heard that it is not as beneficial for parents as it once was.
flexible perks package is great
Benefits are offered at no additional cost to the employee, even when switching from single to family coverage. Super simple and easy to submit claims and get support. Vision is not covered, though, which is strange considering we're all staring at computers all day
It hypes itself up really well, but the health benefits are a below average the pay is below industry minimums.
Shopify provides a progressive benefits package that allows employees to self-direct where their funds are spent, everything from lifestyle products to enhancing your dental package.
Around $5,000 as benefit and stock option. Lots of people are taking vacation. It’s hard to get promotion, so it’s better to negotiate before you join.
Interns receive nice perks and the cushier type of benefits, but not necessarily many of the basic benefits that typically go along with a full-time job. I understand that full-time employees receive many more benefits than I did. Interns do receive 1 day of paid vacation per month (these are money-able at the conclusion of the internship).
List based on reports from current and former employees. It may not be complete.

Get new exclusive access to healthcare business reports & breaking news
U.S. Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) have secured a total of $2,077,152 in federal funding for seven Illinois healthcare providers. The money is targeted for telehealth services during the continuing COVID-19 health crisis.
The funding was secured through the Federal Communications Commission’s COVID-19 Telehealth Program. Congress appropriated the funding as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
“The federal funding will allow more people to be treated remotely. In turn, that will free up space and thus reduce the spread of COVID-19,” Durbin said. “Telehealth services are a valuable resource during the pandemic. Senator Duckworth and I will keep working to improve our state’s access to the telehealth services.”
“Increasing the reach of the Illinois healthcare network is important for providing reliable care to more Illinoisans. This is especially true as we respond to the continuing COVID-19 health crisis,” Duckworth commented. “I’m proud to join Senator Durbin in securing these federal telehealth funds to help Illinois health providers serve their communities during this unprecedented time.”
Among the recipients, Legacy Medical Care, in Arlington Heights will receive $48,591 for telecommunications equipment, laptop computers, network upgrades, and videoconferencing equipment. In this way, health care providers in the state can engage patients during telehealth visits during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. This will allow for telephone-only consultation with patients.
Access Community Health Network, in Chicago, will also receive $130,401 for desktop computers, video monitors, a video telehealth platform, and telehealth equipment. This allows Access to expand the amount and types of telehealth visits offered to its patients for behavioral health and primary care services.
Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, in Chicago, will receive a hefty $1,000,000 to cover the costs of a telehealth platform, remote patient monitoring equipment, remote radiology workstations, thermal temperature screening system, and network upgrades to implement a telehealth platform. This supports outpatient services for both patients with or without COVID-19. It also maintains safe health practices in hospitals, and provides a means to diagnose medical problems remotely by reading medical images online.
Leyden Family Health Service and Mental Health Center, in Franklin Park, will receive just $1,468 for wireless data plans, phones, and videoconferencing software. This will allow Leyden to provide remote behavioral health treatment as well as prevent hospitalizations. This will free up hospitals to accommodate COVID-19 patients.
PCC Community Wellness Center, in Oak Park, will receive $393,575 for software licenses and telecommunications and videoconferencing equipment to launch and expand telehealth services during the COVID-19 health crisis. PCC Community Wellness has 12 health care sites providing behavioral health, primary care, and dental services to vulnerable and low-income populations using telehealth services.
PrimeCare West, in Chicago, will receive $260,517 for videoconferencing equipment and laptop computers to deliver health education, primary care, and behavioral health services to the underserved communities in Chicago.
Southern Illinois Hospital Services, in Carbondale, will receive $242,600 for a subscription to a telehealth platform to provide safe inpatient, outpatient, and emergency care remotely. This will allow people who are reluctant to physically travel for medical treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic to get the treatment they need.
The COVID-19 Telehealth Program will distribute $200 million in funding, appropriated by Congress as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.
The purpose of the funding is to assist health care providers to render telehealth services to patients in response to the COVID-19 health crisis. The program fully funds the information services, telecommunications services, and devices needed to provide telehealth services until the program’s funds run out or the COVID-19 pandemic has ended.

It’s Getting Electric
Want to know how serious things are getting vis-à-vis the development of electric vehicles?
Not only were Ford’s announcement on Monday about a $135-million investment in battery and hybrid-electric transaxle production, and yesterday’s announcement about groundbreaking for the Nissan LEAF battery plant in Smyrna, TN, but today in Beijing, Daimler AG and BYD Company Ltd.—which is described as “the fastest growing Chinese automotive manufacturer” and as “the first manufacturer in China to commercialize [the] taxi business with its e6,” by which it means that it has an electric vehicle (the e6) rolling around in China as cabs—created a 50:50 research and technology joint venture, “Shenzhen BYD Daimler New Technology Co. Ltd.” to develop an EV for China.
BYD, BTW, also has interests in selling its battery technology to other vehicle manufacturers.
Approximately one year ago, on May 19, 2009, Daimler acquired an equity stake of nearly 10% in Silicon Valley-based Tesla, the company that Toyota recently invested in, as well. When the announcement about the investment in Tesla was made last year, Dr. Thomas Weber, member of the Board of Daimler AG responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development, stated, “Our strategic partnership is an important step to accelerate the commercialization of electric drives globally.”
Things are getting very serious.

Maren Morris skipped the red carpet press and photo-ops. She ended up attending the 2022 CMAs on Wednesday night (November 9) even though she initially said she wouldn’t. This comes nearly three months after her social media feud with Brittany Aldean.
The two got into it when Jason Aldean’s wife joked that she loves the “girly life” and she’s glad her parents allowed her to be a “tomboy” when she was younger than allowed her to change her gender. Maren and Cassadee Pope took to Twitter to react to her controversial Instagram post. Since then, the two have been in a war of words. Read on to see what made Maren change her mind.
Maren Morris nearly skips the 2022 CMAs
In an interview with The Los Angeles Times, Maren Morris admitted that she didn’t feel comfortable with going to the big ceremony. She wasn’t sure if she could be in the same room as Jason and Brittany Aldean. Maren didn’t feel comfortable with the country music industry after their feud. Suddenly, she felt like an outsider.
“I don’t know if I feel [at] home there right now,” Maren Morris said in her September interview with The Los Angeles Times. “So many people I love will be in that room, and maybe I’ll make a game-time decision and go. But as of right now, I don’t feel comfortable going.”
She received a nomination for the night. However, Maren explained that she wouldn’t be entirely sad about missing out. Last year, she felt “more sad about going” because it wasn’t a good experience for her. Maren doesn’t like going to red-carpet events because she feels “awkward” at them. The idea of not going gives her a sense of peace.
Makes statement amid feud with Brittany & Jason Aldean
Maren Morris still attended the 2022 Country Music Awards. Her album Humble Quest was nominated for Album of the Year. She ended up skipping the red carpet and avoiding questions about their feud. Maren also didn’t want to bother with photographers yelling at her to pose for pictures. Instead, the 32-year-old made an appearance in the audience during the ceremony.
The “Chasing After You” singer showed off her outfit on social media. She wore a black gown that featured a plunging neckline and carried a bottle of champagne. In the video, Taylor Swift’s “Karma” played in the background. It focused on the lyrics, “Karma’s a relaxing thought, aren’t you envious that for you it’s not?”
Maren Morris captioned her Twitter post: “BYOB CMA.”
BYOB, CMA. 🥂 pic.twitter.com/s5GZF6ssgy
— MAREN MORRIS (@MarenMorris) November 10, 2022
She made no secret who she was talking about. The Texan native coyly waved to the camera with a huge smile on her face. With her champagne, Maren was ready to take on the night. She wasn’t going to let awkward moments and feuds ruin her fun. Instead, she took part in a red-carpet photo op at home, which you can view on her latest Instagram post here.
What are your thoughts on Maren Morris skipping the red-carpet press and photo ops? Do you think it was a good idea? Or, do you think she should’ve participated? Sound off below in the comment section.

Origins of the Violin
Where did one of the world's most popular instruments come from anyways?
Instruments like the violin which are played with a bow have their origins in the Byzantine lira and Islamic rabab, dating back as far as the 9th century. These types of instruments often had very boxy bodies, and spread throughout Europe in the subsequent centuries before the first true violins began to emerge in Italy in the 16th century. Violins quickly eclipsed previously favored cello-like instruments in popularity, and were in high demand.
Violins proliferated through the 17th and 18th centuries, and although violin design has remained remarkably standardized since then, there were several small changes introduced, especially as 19th century music asked more and more of the instrument. To accommodate higher notes, the fingerboard of violins grew grew longer, and to better supplement a full orchestra, the angle of the fingerboard was subtly changed to produce a louder tone. Additionally, the chin rest was introduced.
Musically, the violin has seen an interesting arc through the years. What started as a folk instrument became a staple of classical music when the modern violin emerged during the Renaissance. While the violin is primarily tied to classical music today, it also retains its folk origins. Irish, bluegrass, country western, and even Arabic tunes often use violins or violin-like instruments.
And guess what? You can be part of all of it!

Dark Dragon Katana
The metal blade of this Japanese-style sword is finely crafted 1045 high carbon steel. The sharpened edge measures about 28 inches, and is razor sharp right out of the gate. With the high carbon steel, you can expect this weapon to keep the sharp edge for longer than a lesser metal. While the hamon, or wavy line on the fine edge, is aesthetically applied, it gives the iconic katana look to the blade when you have it on display or when you unsheathe it for a fight.
The rest of this dragon-themed samurai sword is detailed to show the craftsmanship of the maker. The zinc aluminum handguard, or tsuba, is white in color, a rounded square shape, and tough as any blade that will come crashing down on top of it. Decorated with a swirling dragon coming in and out of what could be clouds or ocean waves, this delicately created guard is a beautiful addition to this high quality weapon.
When gripping the handle, or tsuka, you'll feel in control of all 2 pounds 5 ounces of this sword. The tightly wrapped navy blue cord tucks the synthetic white ray skin into place around the wooden handle securely, even with swing after swing during your defensive maneuvers. Also attaching the layers of the handle to the wood underneath are the menuki pendants, or brass-colored dragons that sit one on each side. They comfortably fit in between the corded handle wrap to still give you a flush connection no matter where you hold on to.
Housing this sword for display or transport is the black high gloss saya, or scabbard, that is made of PVC. What is great about using this material to protect the blade is that it doesn't warp, it won't splinter if crushed, and in general is much longer lasting than a normal wooden scabbard. The glossy finish gives a reflective surface, but you'll still be showing off the dark dragon depicted on the side, giving this sharp katana its name. The dragon is staring out into the world, a globe of light in it's claws, feeding the light and dark of this beautiful print.
When not tucked away in the included cloth storage bag, this roughly 40-inch samurai sword will look great hanging from your wall. It has all of the traditional components of a well craft sword while still being affordable and a well crafted weapon. The materials are going to last through battles, and even years more of admiration from your friends and possibly your enemies. Give your collection a dragon-loving weapon that embraces the beautiful side of darkness.

Holding With Our Pets: How to Develop the Relationships That You Want
Consider what happens on the off chance that you are frightful, disappointed, or bothered when you draw in with your pets. How would they react? Are these the outcomes you need and assuming this is the case, how practical do you figure these outcomes will be?
Presently, reexamine. How extraordinary do you trust the result of that cooperation will be on the off chance that you were drawing in them with absolution, empathy and acknowledgment? How might that vibe? How distinctively would they feel about needing to connect with you, to be with you, to satisfy you?
The manner by which individuals sincerely and typically participate in their communications with their pets decides the nature of those connections and also the supportability of the "coveted" results they are getting with them.
To cite American writer Maya Angelou-"... individuals will overlook what you stated, individuals will overlook what you did, however individuals will always remember how you affected them."
This is particularly valid for our creature buddies, particularly pooches. These profoundly enthusiastic and delicate animals are intensely mindful of how we appear both typically and inwardly, as they can detect our intensions through the subtlest of signs we radiate. How we affect them at that time decides the result of our collaborations with them, the manageability of that result and the nature of the bond that creates.
Our pets and most trained creatures are reliant on individuals for their extremely survival. Along these lines, they have built up a sharp consciousness of human instinct. Pooches particularly can detect and react to our feelings notwithstanding when we are unaware of them ourselves. Their feeling of smell specifically is evaluated to be more than 100,000 X more grounded than people. It enables them to notice our physiological state (malignancy recognition, changes in glucose, seizure location and our feelings, to give some examples that we can archive). Their listening ability is likewise exceptionally intense as they can precisely translate intonations and tonal quality changes in our voices (instead of an expository comprehension of the dialect we utilize). In spite of the fact that their visual sharpness is assessed to be 4 X weaker than our own, they are more insightful of development and can translate even inconspicuous changes in our outward appearances... in spite of the fact that Botox is demonstrating to confuse;o)
What would you be able to do? You can find out about our diverse levels of commitment and how they typically appear in individuals and in our pets, particularly when under pressure. You can figure out how to perceive how these diverse methods for drawing in will either mischief or support the bond that you have with them. You can build up the aptitudes to successfully oversee how you draw in, notwithstanding when under pressure, so you can interface and synchronize with your pets (and individuals) at a more elevated amount of commitment, bringing about a closer bond, with more alluring and practical outcomes.

Featuring pianist Simon Ireson, who will be performing the piano concerto ‘Ungarische Zigeunerweisen‘ (1892) by Sophie Menter. A student of Franz Liszt, he described Menter as “my only legitimate piano daughter”. Born in Munich in 1846 to her cellist father and singer mother, Sophie quickly became a distinguished pianist. She first performed in public with Weiber’s ‘Kozertstück’ for piano and orchestra at the age of fifteen, and went on to achieve great acclaim for her interpretation of Liszt’s piano music at the Leipzig Gewandhaus. Anton Rubinstein called her “the sole ruler of all piano keys and hearts.” She toured widely and first appeared in England in 1881, returning two years later to receive an honorary membership of the Philharmonic Society. Shortly after, she became professor of piano at the St. Petersburg Conservatory.
Sophie composed various pieces for the piano, whilst describing herself as having a “miserable talent for composing”. Tchaikovsky was well acquainted with Sophie and even dedicated a score to her. He clearly did not entirely agree with Sophie’s opinion of her abilities since he took her two piano “Ungarische Zigeunerweisen”, composed in 1885, and arranged the second piano part for orchestra. He also conducted the premiere of this work in Odessa in 1893 with Sophie as soloist.
The work itself contains a small collection of melodies. It is clearly inspired by Liszt’s ‘Hungarian Fantasy‘ with the opening being remarkably similar. After the initial tidal wave of notes in the first cadenza, the Andante chords present the main theme. After the Allegro variation there is another cadenza before a dance-like tune is played, followed by the orchestra joining in enthusiastically. The Andante theme returns during another cadenza before a beautiful run of arpeggios culminates in cascading scales, which lead to a single note on the piano. From here the running octaves on the piano lead the piece towards the Coda, again returning to the original theme, however now with much more energy. The final few moments recall the opening and the whole work is brought to a resounding close with a rising chromatic scale.


PUMA is well-established in terms of tractor quality and performance. Built in St. Valentin, Austria, around proven semi powershift, full powershift or CVX continuously variable transmissions and the latest FPT Industrial engine technology, the new PUMA models surpass even the high standards set by their predecessors. With seven models from 150-240hp rated power, the new PUMA is ready to master the most demanding tasks in arable, livestock and contracting operations.
Powerful, efficient and comfortable!
Powered by a 6.7-litre NEF engine which is manufactured by FPT Industrial, the top model (PUMA 240) delivers its rated power output of 240hp at 2200rpm, with up to 270hp being available when Power Boost is active. The engine produces a maximum torque of 1160Nm between 1400rpm and 1600rpm.
“One key feature of the new PUMA tractors is the equally powerful, efficient and ‘clean’ six-cylinder power unit. FPT Industrial’s proven Hi-eSCR only technology ensures that European Stage IV (Tier 4 Final) emission regulations are met – whilst fuel consumption is low and performance is high. Simple and efficient, the system also enables Case IH to achieve engine oil change intervals of 600 hours,” emphasises Dan Stuart, Case IH Product Marketing Manager Tractors for Europe, Middle East & Africa.
As well as the engine, Case IH also paid special attention to the cab – both inside and out. The cab now has a seamless single-piece front screen which provides an uninterrupted forward view for the operator. The AFS 700 terminal received several updates: they include new remote valve configuration and ISOBUS III functionality which – depending on the implement – will automatically control forward speed, hitch, electronic remote valve and PTO functions on the tractor. For shuttling operations, a new shuttling aggressiveness selectors and settings are available, thus allowing for settings according to individual preferences.
“The new HMC II Headland Management Control system also makes operators’ life a lot easier whilst increasing productivity, with a new easy to use operator interface the system allows more parameters to be set from more triggers,” says Mr. Stuart. “That further simplifies repetitive field operations and brings about greater efficiency with reduced driver fatigue.
“That is also true for the range of new seat options which now are available for PUMA tractors. With these options, operators benefit from the best ride in the industry. The PUMA tractor comes as standard with a low-frequency suspension seat. New options are available to upgrade to a premium Dual Motion low-frequency suspension seat with an innovative sliding high back rest in either fabric or red leather, or a leather Maximo Evolution seat with semi-active suspension,” explains Mr Stuart.
Only light can drive out darkness...
Following Case IH MagnumTM tractors, the latest PUMA models have a new external look to the cab with a new roof and powerful lighting packages. Two new work-light packages will be available featuring the very latest LED technology and offering illumination that is not only brighter but reaches further too. “Operators will be able to securely identify and avoid field obstacles even with the furthest extremities of wide implements which can easily be seen on the darkest night,” highlights Mr Stuart.
“As precision farming technology is a vital tool nowadays to increase efficiency whilst better protecting the environment, the Case IH PUMA tractors are available with the integrated Case IH AccuGuide automated guidance solution as part of the company’s AFS technology platform. The system takes its correction information from the 372 antenna which is compatible with both GLONASS and GPS satellites. And, another important feature for uninterrupted operation: xFill technology improves the system’s reliability by maintaining operation for up to 20 minutes even if the RTK signal is lost. Optional Case IH AFS Connect Telematics uses a combination of global positioning system and cellular technology to send and receive machine, agronomic and job-site information. In combination with our tractors, these technologies ensure that farmers can operate and manage their businesses more efficient than ever before,” emphasises Mr Stuart.

During last Tuesday evening’s 30-minute meeting, the County Commission approved moving forward and submitting the grant application for a county-wide ambulance to be based in Rockford.
EMA Director Sheldon Hutcherson presented the commission with the prepared grant application. With all commissioners present, the commission approved by majority vote to submit the grant application for the ambulance, with Commissioner Unzell Kelley abstaining.
The Rural Provider Equipment Grant Application submitted to the Alabama Council of Emergency Medical Services is shown to be for the Coosa County EMS Department, name pending.
In the “justification of need” portion of the application, the county states in part, “Coosa County is a 651 square mile county with a population of 10,387 located in central Alabama. Coosa County has no full-time ambulance service. The citizens of Coosa County have to rely on two volunteer EMS departments located in the northeast part of the county. Although these departments provide a valuable service and do an outstanding job, time is a factor in Emergency Medical Services. If a call for a medical emergency comes into 911 on the far western part of the county, it may take a long response time – up to 30 minutes or more.”
It goes on to state that another contributor to the problem is that the county does not have a hospital, meaning that patients must be transported to Coosa Valley Medical Center in Sylacauga or Russell Medical Center in Alexander City.
“Those two factors, response time and transport time, will usually exceed the Golden Hour, the 60 minutes to save a life,” the application reads. “Those factors alone justify a full-time ambulance service located in Rockford.”
The application also explains that if the grant is awarded, the County Commission plans to establish the Coosa County EMS Department “to be based and operated out of the Town of Rockford,” with the service being operated and maintained “solely by the Coosa County Commission.” All paramedics and EMT/drivers will be employed by the commission, according to the application.
The application also explains that the funding for the newly established EMS service will depend on local legislation that “will be voted on by the citizens of Coosa County in May 2022.” However, the latest report was that the matter would likely not be on the ballots until the November election.
That legislation, as previously discussed by the commission, will be to add a fee to all vehicle tags sold within the county.
In the application the commission also pledged or agreed to pay a 25% match of the grant funds, if awarded.
During the relatively short meeting, the commission also unanimously approved the county levies for alcohol licensing fees to remain as is with no changes for the year, appointing Byron King to the Stewartville Water Board Authority Board, new flooring for the revenue office to be paid out of capital improvements, painting the first floor hallway in the courthouse to be paid out of the capital improvement fund, and the annual state EMA agreement to receive money allocated to the county EMA, which Hutcherson said the county applies for and receives every year.
In other business, the commission also discussed the Safer Places Program, with no action taken on it at the meeting. Hutcherson presented the commission with the program guidelines and reviewed the history and information on the program.
He explained that the guidelines have now been approved and that the program allows for the use of safer places, ones which are not official shelters. He further explained that it would give citizens an option of a “safer place” to go to that might provide more safety than their residence, while not being an official approved storm shelter.
Hutcherson added that the program would remove liability from the county should anything happen, as citizens would use the facilities at their own risks. He reviewed the process and said that there is an application to be filled out and returned to the county EMA for any facilities to be used as a safer place during severe weather.
Additionally, he said since the safer places are not official storm shelters, they would not be required to be open during severe weather events. Instead, the facilities would operate on a volunteer basis regarding opening them and letting people in.
The Safer Places Program, which came about from Alabama Act 2021-165, is intended for the Alabama EMA to “develop [uniform] guidelines for the volunteer designation of safer place facilities throughout the state to protect individuals during severe weather events.”
The program guidelines, however, also include no guarantee of safety. The guidelines state, “No guarantee of safety is made. People may be severely injured or killed in any structure during a tornado or other extreme wind event, including facilities designated as Safer Places. The intent of the Safer Places Program is to provide better relative protection from the threat of severe weather than residents may otherwise have access to, especially for those residents who do not have access to a FEMA-rated community tornado saferoom.”
The guidelines also outline requirements for designated Safer Places, including signage that must be posted within the Safer Place and the minimum requirements of what the signage must include.
The program further reviews general facility guidelines, selecting the type of structure to use as a Safer Place, additional considerations, accessibility, and selecting the best available refuge area within the facility.
Once someone applies for a facility to be designated as a Safer Place, if approved then the facility owner will enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Coosa County Emergency Management Agency.
For more information regarding the Safer Places Program or to receive an application to apply for a Safer Place, contact Hutcherson at 256-935-9484 or via email to email@example.com.
The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Coosa County Commission will be held at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, March 8.

Automotive Exhaust Gas Sensor Based on an Electrochemical Cell Combined with a Resistive Gas Sensor
Future on-board diagnosis of automotive exhaust gas after-treatment systems might require sensors determining directly the concentration of limited components like hydrocarbons. Suitable sensors for their detection are resistive metal oxide sensors manufactured in film techniques. Besides their sensitivity towards hydrocarbons their signal depends also on the oxygen partial pressure. As the latter varies in the exhaust, it is suggested to integrate the sensor in an ion conducting oxygen pumping cell to establish a constant oxygen concentration at the sensor film. The setup of this sensor system is designed in ceramic tape technology. Since the resistive metal oxide material e.g., gallium oxide and strontium titanate cannot be co-fired with zirconia, a new combination of different materials leading to a three dimensional setup is investigated. This requires new ways of materials joining. In order to show that a constant oxygen concentration can be achieved under lean and under rich exhaust conditions, a resistive oxygen sensor is integrated, proving that the novel concept works properly.

New Michael Jackson album XSCAPE featuring eight new songs is to be released in May
A new Michael Jackson album featuring eight new songs is set to be released.
Epic Records boss L.A. Reid has teamed up with a host of top producers to 'contemporise' songs by the King of Pop – who died in June 2009 aged 50 – as part of a new record which will be released on May 13 and called XSCAPE.
The Estate of Michael Jackson has provided L.A. with unlimited access to four decades of Michael's material.
The return: A new Michael Jackson album, titled Xscape, featuring eight songs was released on May 13
The music mogul, who will executive produce the record, said: 'Modern music and artistry would look and sound completely different if not for the groundbreaking contributions Michael Jackson gifted to the world.
'Michael left behind some musical performances that we take great pride in presenting through the vision of music producers that he either worked directly with or expressed strong desire to work with. We are extremely proud and honored to present this music to the world.'
Timbaland will act as the leading producer on the album, while Rodney Jerkins, Stargate, Jerome 'Jroc' Harmon and John McClain will also produce the record.

Free range: The Estate of Michael Jackson provided L.A. with unlimited access to four decades of Michael's material
John Branca and John McClain, co-executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson said: 'Michael was always on the cutting edge and was constantly reaching out to new producers, looking for new sounds. He was always relevant and current. These tracks, in many ways, capture that spirit. We thank L.A. Reid for his vision.'
The name XSCAPE is a nod to the late singer's favoured naming process of picking one of his songs to name his record after.
The song XSCAPE was written by Michael and Jerkins, and produced by Jackson and Jerkins.
It has further significance in that it is the one track on the album that was ‘contemporised’ by the producer who recorded it originally in the studio with Michael.
Kazuo Hirai, President and CEO, Sony Corporation, admitted the organisation is 'thrilled and privileged' to be working on a new part of Michael's legacy.
End of an era: Michael's last studio album was his 10th and final record Invincible, which was released in 2001 and featured singles You Rock My World, Cry and Butterflies
He said: 'Michael has long been a treasured member of the larger Sony family. Starting with the release of ‘Off The Wall’ in 1979, Sony Music Entertainment has since released all of Michael’s recordings.
'We are thrilled and privileged to be collaborating as One Sony to celebrate Michael’s latest legacy, and bringing his fans an exclusive experience through our upcoming initiatives with our products and services.'
A Deluxe Edition of the record will also be released which will include all of the sourced Michael Jackson recordings in their original form.
The XSCAPE standard and Deluxe Edition’s are available for pre-order beginning April 1 on iTunes.com/MichaelJackson and elsewhere, and available at all retailers worldwide on May 13.
Michael's last studio album was his 10th and final record Invincible, which was released in 2001 and featured singles You Rock My World, Cry and Butterflies.
Tragic: Shortly before his death in June 2009, Michael announced in March that he was going to play 10 gigs at London's The O2

The caption on this picture reads: “Nick Robinson, former Young Conservatives chairman and current BBC political editor, taking a selfie with some young Tories (Photo courtesy of theblueguerilla.co.uk).” Perhaps you’d like to dream up your own caption for this image of wild-eyed, slack-jawed decadence (he’s the political editor at the BBC and people still think it’s left-wing; the mind boggles).
How bizarre. Apparently the right-wing social media want us to believe that, even though Conservative Party membership is believed to have dropped below 100,000, the number of young people joining up or supporting that party is reaching its highest in a decade.
Never mind. If, like Alice, you try to believe six impossible things before breakfast, you still have five more slots available to you.

Delhi Capitals has to deal with a huge blow in the upcoming 14th season of Indian Premier League due to absecnce of captain and lead player Shreyas Iyer. However, the franchise later announced Rishabh Pant as its captain in place of Iyer who suffered shoulder injury following which he shall not be a part of the season. Pant shall be undertaking captaincy for the first time so fans are looking at him with a lot expectations.
In the 2019 and 2020 seasons, he could have led the franchise for the entire season and the results were much better than anything that Delhi had produced between 2013 and 2018. Also, the franchise managed to qualify for the final for the first time in 2020.
Besides Pant leading the team for the first time, here's a look at 5 players who can lead DC in IPL 2021
Bought by the DC for Rs 2.2 crore in the 2021 auction the Australian player who was the captain of Rajasthan Royals in the 2020 season was released by the franchise ahead of the upcoming season. The Australian was the captain of his national team until the highly infamous ball-tampering incident took that away from him following which he hasn’t led the Australian team.
However, Smith has led three teams in the IPL. He had captained now-defunct Pune Warriors India and Rising Pune Supergiant. In the 2017 season, he had led the Supergiant to the final of the IPL. If the situation arises, Smith would be a great option for leading the Capitals.
Shaw was in the middle of a crisis, until a few days back. The crisis was his shortage of runs that had resulted in him even getting dropped from the Capitals XI on separate occasions during the season. His couple of failures in the first Test meant he was dropped out of that side as well. His his fortunes turned once he reached India again and started to play some domestic cricket.
In the absence of Shreyas Iyer, Prithvi Shaw was given the responsibility of leading the Mumbai side in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, so may happen the same way now. He not only led them to a title victory as a leader but also led from the front by scoring many runs. Addition to that, the experience of leading India U-19 to a World Cup win, he seems like a good option to lead the Capitals team.SunRisers Hyderabad: Full list of players in IPL 2021 in David Warner's 'Orange Army'
Ajinkya Rahane's IPL career has faced a dip since his move to Delhi Capitals last season. The right-handed batsman played only nine matches in 2020. After having an average IPL 2020, Rahane in Australia led the Indian team to a historic Test series win in Australia in the absence of Virat Kohli. With that series win, he proved once again how invaluable he can be as a leader. His captaincy stint with Rajasthan Royals had also yielded positive results and helped them finish in the top four in the 2018 season.
Considering all these points, it does seem that Rahane would be the ideal pick as a captain in the Delhi Capitals line-up.
Shikhar Dhawan within just two years has earned a lot for DC after leaving Sun Risers Hyderabad in 2019. In the two years of being with the Capitals, Dhawan has bagged 521 and 618 runs respectively. His significant rise in strike rate also makes him a great choice as a captain.
Dhawan has previously led his former franchise, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and had started off as the captain for their side in the 2014 season. Ahead of the 2015 season, he quit the role by stating that he wants to focus more on his batting.
Since then whenever he has played an IPL match, he has always been a part of the leadership group, for both Delhi and Hyderabad.
Rishabh Pant too like Prithvi Shaw was also in the middle of nowhere during the IPL season of 2020. His form had gone down significantly and he was going through quite a bad phase of his cricket career.
Delhi Capital fans would love to see Pant don the captaincy hat for the first time for his franchise. He has also led Delhi domestic team, which gives him the experience as well. There is no doubt that Pant being a wicketkeeper will also have an advantage leading the team from behind the stumps.IPL 2021: Second big blow for Delhi Capitals, Axar Patel tests positive for COVID-19

Spartanburg police take to the streets
Spartanburg police are asking motorists to use extra care in town next week as a large group of police bicycle patrol trainees will join instructors in rides through the city.
Throughout the week, up to 25 officers and nationally certified instructors will be riding together through the city. Police officials hope to add several officers to the successful bike patrol program. Supporters say the bicycle patrols make officers more accessible to residents and give them a closer view of the city's streets and neighborhoods. The program started two years ago in the city and is slated to expand this year.
Audio shop hosts sound competition Spartanburg residents can get up close and personal with some of the loudest car stereo systems on the planet Sunday when Elite Audio hosts a stereo competition. Elite Audio owner Joe Zelano said he expects more than 100 cars - from the amateur to the professional, factory-sponsored levels - to arrive from all over the Southeast for the competition. Some of the cars are worth tens of thousands of dollars and are trailered to the competition, rather than driven. Points toward the national championships, slated again this year for Greenville, are on the line. Competitors will go against each other in both ''sound quality'' and ''DB Drag Racing'' categories. The DB event tests cars strictly for loudness or ''sound pressure.'' Spectators are encouraged to come out for the event, and admission is free. The contest runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday at Elite Audio at 1504 Asheville Highway.
Greer Ministries host Sunday walk GREER - Organizers of a fund-raising march are hoping to see more than 300 people walk for a good cause Sunday afternoon when the Greer Community Ministries holds its annual 'Love Thy Neighbor Walk.' The walk begins at 2 p.m. in the parking lot of First Presbyterian Church on Main Street. The four-mile course includes parts of North Main Street, Poinsett Street, Tryon Street, Wade Hampton Boulevard and South Main Street. Lee said walkers can register as late as Sunday afternoon at the start of the walk. Money raised will be used to fund the ministries' mobile meals program, where volunteers deliver meals to area shut-ins. Organizers are hoping to raise $20,000. Greer Community Ministries serves about 4,000 meals per month. ''This helps us get through the summer months when donations are off,'' said Glaydene Lee, administrative assistant at Greer Community Ministries. ''It is a wonderful event and it is a lot fun.'' Anyone who raises more than $250 will receive a free T-shirt while the top individual, top civic group, top business and top church will receive awards.
Stranger attacks elderly woman A 78-year-old Spartanburg woman was attacked, bound, beaten and robbed Friday morning when she tried to take out her garbage, police said. According to reports, Sara Lindsay had just opened the front door of her Westview Drive home about 8:20 a.m. to take out the garbage when a woman walked up to her and asked for water for her car. When Lindsay tried to respond, the woman forced her back into the house and into a bedroom, where she bound her hands with a belt and threatened to kill her. Police said that while the attacker ransacked the house, Lindsay freed her hands and called for help on the county's 911 emergency line. The thief heard her and ran into the bedroom, striking Lindsay on the head with a portable phone. The two struggled, and Lindsay was able to kick off her attacker, and the woman fled. She made off with cash she took from Lindsay's purse. She was last seen driving on Crescent Avenue in a blue mid-size car, possibly a Buick or Chevrolet Corsica, with damage on the passenger side. The woman is described as black, about 5 feet 5 inches tall, in her 30s. She has a medium build and reddish hair, possibly a wig. Lindsay was treated for a head injury and cuts on her arms at the emergency room of Spartanburg Regional Medical Center. Anyone with information about the attack is asked to call Crime Stoppers of Spartanburg at 58-CRIME.

28 panga and knobkerrie wielding protesters arrested after they attacked Gooderson Natal Spa
After the unprovoked violent invasion and attack of KwaZulu-Natal spa, the management of the resort is working closely with police to ensure the area remains calm during the holiday period.
Already, twenty-eight people have been arrested and charged with public violence after a group of panga- and knobkerrie-wielding protesters stormed the Gooderson Natal Spa, between Vryheid and Paulpietersburg, last Friday.
Police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Thulani Zwane said a case of public violence had been opened at the Paulpietersburg police station after the spa was attacked.
“Twenty-eight suspects were arrested and charged with public violence. They were taken to Paulpietersburg Magistrate’s Court on December 24, 2018, and we do not know the court appearance results,” said Zwane.
In an earlier report , TimesLive wrote that staff had heard “rumours” that the attack was sparked by the dismissal of former workers, as well as locals not being employed at the resort.
Gavin Castleman, CEO of Gooderson Leisure, confirmed that the situation was now under control at the resort.
“Although there was damage to property, there were no injuries to any guests staying at the resort,” said Castleman in a statement.

I think this quote from Taylor McVay of Quilt says it all, "..unlike CDs, tapes cannot be copied onto iTunes, so the tape itself remains a valuable object, rather than just existing as a transfer of data." With tapes, each fan has to buy their own tape. One person can't buy the song or album and rip copies for all their friends. Plus, you have to buy the tapes at the show so the band has money in hand. I know that I've got to quite a few shows, heard a new band (usually the opening act), said to myself "I need to get their album" and then I never did. With tapes only available at the show, it almost becomes an impulse buy.Touch0Gray said:How is that cheaper for the "Budget minded" artist?
