What voice for life really means
After reading the guest commentaries under the heading "Misinterpretation gets us nowhere" in last week's issue of the Beacon, some key phrases and words stuck out to me.
These commentators who were supporting the All Souls Day cross exhibit used phrases such as "a path to finding forgiveness," "pro-life," and "misinterpretation and rhetoric." First , the insinuation that mothers who have gone through grueling and painful process of abortion need to seek a path to find forgiveness is an outdated and medieval proposition. That warrants a whole article in and of itself. However, I would like to focus on what it truly means to be a voice for life.
It's interesting that Voice for Life decided to focus only on abortion on All Souls Day.
Why weren't there any exhibits regarding those who were murdered with firearms? In 2010, the FBI reports that 8,775 deaths by firearms. Shouldn't there be awareness of the prevalence of firearm violence in our country that is wedded to its citizens' right to bear arms?
What about the 18,000 children who die every day in the world due to hunger, as reported by the United Nations? Maybe we should also look at deaths due to smoking tobacco. The United States Center for Disease Control reports that there are 443,000 deaths annually in the U.S. from smoking, including 49,400 deaths due to secondhand smoke.
We could even look to the environment: indoor air pollution from cooking fires is the leading environmental cause of death in the world contributing to 2 million deaths per year.
This all brings me to wonder if anyone-a club, a legislative candidate, a student, a citizen-can call oneself pro-life while focusing on only one issue. Can you call yourself pro-life if you only focus on an aspect of what that phrase really means?
I hope that we all think longer on what it means to be in favor of life. Should we let people get away with calling themselves something when they only stand up for a fraction of that position?
To be pro-life is to be in favor of all initiatives to improve the quality of life, and to be a voice for life is to make all causes of death and human suffering heard, not just to raise attention to what has become a hot button issue in American politics.
To be pro-life and to be anti-abortion are NOT the same.

Appleseed- Around here anyway King David tends to overbear and be small if not thinned; here’s off a tree that didn’t bear as heavily. These could have used another month on the tree; people think they are ripe at this point, but they should be allowed to hang longer until they look like Arkansas Black.
I’m in Northern Indiana.
I guess that I missed my homework by not knowing the Pink Lady was a late apple.
Storage is something that I never considered either. I have never stored an apple.
We just eat them or give away in season.
I didn’t know there was such a thing, you are teaching me new things So that’s a good possibility and that might be the reason I read many reviews like yours but didn’t think alike. Ì don’t think Ì have ever had a Macoun. Would love to try it.
Macoun can be a fabulous apple for fresh eating. My early grafts of it failed but I have good takes this year and should have a few to eat in a couple of years.
I’m south of most of you people, so we grow different apples here. My #1 apple is Grimes Golden. It’s
large, hard and crunchy with a great flavor. I can’t stand soft apples.
@Daemon2525, if you didn’t find the following post
scroll down and you will find my favorites list. At least as of last year, I’m sure there will be different favorites this year.
Re: King David, I just can’t get my tree to bear. It was making a million shoots to the skies. I decided to radically train it and made an umbrella out of it - only one fruiting plane, mostly horizontal. This year it seems to have finally settled down and I hope I can get some apples on it next year.
I’ve had years where Goldrush didn’t ripen into a very useful apple in my Z6 but then I planted a tree in the sunniest part of my property, which helps although not all fruit reaches peak quality on short seasons.
Pink Lady doesn’t get as good as further south but is still quite useable most seasons. I’m interested in the early season version- where are you folks getting it? I couldn’t find a source that didn’t require a minimum purchase of 100 trees.
Macoun is my favorite fall tasting Apple. Can’t beat Gravenstein for its early ripening. Goldrush for a later Apple.
I will vote for Fuji, my all time favorite
ztom, mine fruited for the first time last year and I don’t think they fully ripened before I had to harvest them due to freezing temperatures. They certainly looked ripe, but they must not have been. They weren’t very good at all.
If you can grow it you really should, most people like them a lot and they possess so many positive attributes. They are disease resistant, insect resistant (I think), bear super heavy, and have nice growth characteristics.
ACN lists the ripening date at Nov. 10, that’s probably about right, so it’s even later here for me. Most years that’s going to be too late for me. I think Z6 is probably pushing it.
Would someone please tell me what the acronym ACN stands for. It’s probably something that my mind should automatically interpret, but it’s running in slow mode today. Thanks.
Adams County Nursery
Alan I got my “Maslin” from Brandts, they are a large commerial grower. Only had it on M9. I dont think they have a minimum, but the way they ship it is going to cost as much to ship one tree as it will 25. I saw somebody else had them the other day on the commercial side as I was sourcing out some orders for this coming fall and next spring.
McIntosh immediately off my own tree
Mammoth Black Twig (not paragon)
I’ve had Grimes Golden that was epic; not yet ripe in my yard.
Many others like that…Anticipation.
I’ve had so many that others raved about, I bought at a grocery store,
and thought, “Meh”. If you grow it yourself the right way, you can make it amazing.
It is much different to rate the fruit off your own trees.
Ashmead’s Kernel is one that wins lots of taste tests, very high brix with enough acid to make the flavor quite interesting- and it is hard and crisp. Tough to work for good crops here- I’m still figuring it out. May respond to having overly vigorous new wood removed in mid-spring. I’m hoping mine calms down as it ages but it is already 12 years old. First decent crop on it this year after a 3 year drought.
I actually just had a Goldrush yesterday from a local orchard, but they were kept under gas. Still, not too exciting, except for being able to say I had one - it was closer to a so so yellow delicious at this point. But I love them in the fall through January when they are still sharp and spunky.
Daily eating, Fuji gets the nod for good keeping and very reliable flavor.
But, while I don’t have any myself, the apple I’m looking to most from the farmers market this fall is Crimson Topaz. One farm grows them and only has a few trees. They come in during late September here and have a great tart/sweet taste with a very satisfying crunch. I understand that except for cedar apple rust, they are quite disease resistant.
I like a cold hard crisp Granny Smith apple.
Honey Crisp I fell in love with after my first apple.
Fuji this last March was so sweet, and crisp right from the grocery store. They were the best!
Jonagold - from my own tree
Have you checked Willow Drive Nursery? Sometimes they carry PL Maslin. Not sure if they have minimum orders.
Matt, I haven’t tried them. I would like to purchase about 5 trees of this variety so many of the commercial nurseries aren’t helpful. I assume the variety will become more widely available if it does extend the Pink Lady range. September Fuji took a while to get around but Adams finally started selling it.

Once you decide to go on a trip, you’ll have many things to sort out. From room reservations to choosing which shirt to bring with you, you’re sure to have your hands full.
Luggage is surely one of the most important factors of traveling, but you won’t carry it outside your room. If you choose the wrong luggage, you’ll live – but if your backpack doesn’t serve its purpose, it’s not only virtually useless, but it can become a burden.
Different types of journeys require different gear and preparation. In that name, here are a couple of general things you should look for when choosing the right backpack.
Simplicity Meets Functionality
There is but one rule when it comes to choosing a backpack – keep things simple, but make sure they work for you.
This basically means you don’t want your backpack to have too many compartments, gizmos, and zippers, but you’ll also need it to be sturdy and endurable in any given situation.
That being said, there are some things every backpack must be equipped with.
These include lockable zippers, a hip belt, water-resistant material, and a padded back. Once a backpack has met these criteria, the rest of its functions don’t really matter that much.
From Small To Big
The second thing you should look out for is your backpack’s size. While there is no perfect size for a travel backpack, there is something you should remember while deciding between a small and a big one.
Your backpack will work best if it’s proportional to your body. If you’re a strapping young lad who plans on carrying 60 lbs of gear for a camping trip, then a big backpack is for you.
On the other hand, if you’re picking a backpack for your kid, who’s only going to carry a water bottle and his favorite toy in it – you get the picture.
Finally, there isn’t much to say when it comes to prices of backpacks. A quality backpack with a bunch of compartments and reinforced straps and padding is bound to cost a lot, but we can guarantee it’s going to be worth the money.

Travel and COVID-19 Testing
Please note that EACH cannot provide documentation for international travel in relation to COVID-19 tests. Please arrange a pre-departure coronavirus (COVID-19) test and proof of the results through your GP, travel doctor or the service provider recommended by your airline.
Testing for babies and children
Our Clinics also provide testing to children, babies and infants. A doctor or nurse will use a smaller swab to do a throat and nose swab to test whether a child has COVID-19.
If your child is old enough to understand, it is a good idea to prepare them for the test by talking to them about how it is done, and reassuring them it’s a quick test.
In order to maintain a COVID-safe environment and adhere to physical distancing requirements, we ask that parents only bring children who require a test.
We understand that all families are different and if you have specific needs, please contact us to discuss how best to organise a test for your child.
What does it cost?
Getting tested for COVID-19 is free; all you need is your Medicare card.
What does testing involve?
When you arrive at a clinic you with be asked for 3 points of identification (Name, D.O.B and Mobile Number) to confirm Nurses and the G.P are see the correct person. For safety reasons please wear close capped shoes when visiting a clinic.
The test involves taking a sample swab from the back of your throat and nose.
Once the test is complete, your sample is sent to a laboratory and tested to see if you have coronavirus (COVID-19).
What to do after getting tested?
As you have symptoms of COVID-19 there is a significant risk that you could have COVID-19 and could spread it to other people.
Therefore, you must:
- Return home immediately after being tested;
- Wear a face covering on your way home;
- Ensure you do not make any stops on your way home, and
- Remain in Self-Isolation at home until you find out your test result.
Results generally take 1-2 business days.
When there are high volumes of tests done across Victoria, there can be delays in tests being processed. We are working with pathology services to get results to you, this can take in excess of 5-7 business days. Please contact us for more information.

In setting up Screening Clinics, we have put in place strict medical and clinical protocols to ensure that the highest level of care is provided.
Furthermore, we have implemented measures that bolster our existing Health & Safety protocols that include:
- Increased cleaning schedule focusing on high volume touchpoints
- Increased hand sanitiser available at our centres
- Pre-screening of all people accessing the services in accordance with Department of Health guidelines
- Waiting room configurations to allow for social distancing on site

Keeping in mind just how different 2014’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes ended up looking and feeling from its 2011 predecessor Rise of the Planet of the Apes, I approached Thursday night’s New York Comic Con presentation of the forthcoming threequel War for the Planet of the Apes with no shortage of curiosity. How much will Caesar’s world have changed since we last saw him take up arms in the Muir Woods?
Although, as director Matt Reeves mentioned, War takes place a paltry two years after Dawn (which had trailed the franchise’s first chapter by an in-universe decade), the evening’s serving of world premiere footage from the 2017 film suggests that our hero and the neo-ape world’s alpha prime has brought his civilization quite a ways since our last check-in.
Reeves, producer Dylan Clark, and star Andy Serkis bequeathed unto a crowd of Con-goers a yet unfinished seven-minute sequence from War, and one depicting what appears to be a pivotal moment for Caesar and his inner circle.
Caesar and recognizable cronies Rocket (a fellow chimpanzee whose principal claim to fame, at least as far as my memory will carry, is having been cookied back in the pre-revolution days of Rise) and Maurice (the kindhearted orangutan with a soft-spot for youngsters and bookworms) close in, on horseback, on a human-occupied oyster shack on the California coast, taking out an armed adult man before he could get the drop on the bunch of them.
The trio explores the deceased man’s shack, finding, in addition to a fair helping of supplies and resources, a small child. While Caesar and Rocket survey the residence for whatever they can carry, Maurice takes note of the young girl’s apparent poor health, managing to comfort her by stroking her stuffed animal.
Although Caesar insists that she is not their burden—moreover, he implies she has no place among apekind—Maurice lets his intentions known: he cannot and will not leave her to suffer alone. The next thing we know, the silent child is riding backseat to Maurice as the apes trek the beach, presumably headed back home.
The scene cuts out there, espousing a good deal of excitement for what Caesar’s army is up to this time around. It’s worth nothing that the sequence hadn’t been completely translated into proper computer animation prior to its showcase. To clarify, where we’re expected to see fully formed apes come the movie’s theatrical release in July, we instead saw (at many, though not all points) colorless ape-shaped alien beings or, somewhat comically, human actors draped in cumbersome mo-cap suits.
On the other hand, the first full trailer for War for the Planet of the Apes offered a bona fide glimpse at what is yet to come. Caesar lays waste to encroaching enemy (human) soldiers before squaring off with head honcho of the homo sapiens: Woody Harrelson, a former U.S. Army ripped straight from Apocalypse Now, complete with full-on face paint and a head-shaving scene.
If there’s one overarching takeaway from the footage and trailer shared with us at the Con, it’s that War for the Planet of the Apes should indeed live up to its militant title.
Are you excited for the third chapter in this increasingly interesting franchise? Let us know!
And if you want, check out Clarke’s interview with Matt Reeves, Andy Serkis, and Toby Kebbell about Dawn of the Planet of the Apes:[brightcove video_id=”4112795138001″ brightcove_account_id=”3653334524001″ brightcove_player_id=”2bfa565b-5412-4cfd-9211-6269880b8a5e”]

We’ll resist another #EndSARS protest in Ondo —Police
Dec 8, 2020
The Ondo state Police command has threatened to deal with anybody in the state who engage or storm the streets in form of protest, noting that such would be resisted frontally.
The state Police spokesman, Mr. Tee-leo Ikoro who said in Akure, said the command was prepared to ensure nothing of such that happened during the last #EndSARS protests, repeats itself for whatever reason.
There was anxiety in the state as news of the restart of the #EndSARS protest filtered in from Osun and Lagos States.
Youths in their hundreds had poured into the streets on Monday, demanding the end of police brutality.
They also blocked the entrance into the Osun State House of Assembly, demanding an audience with the speaker of the House.
Residents of Akure, the state capital, were apprehensive and were expecting another outbreak of the protest, but nothing happened as the day rolled by.
Although many went about their normal duties, police and other security patrols were regular across the major streets of the city.
“Why should there be another EndSARS protest? SARS has been disbanded and ended, there is no reason any more for anyone to be calling for an end to SARS,” said Mr Ikoro.
“All the SARS officers have been transferred, some of them are still undergoing treatment, so what is the name they are going to give to this one? Except they are miscreants who want to use this period of the year to foment problems.
“People are free to protest, but they are required to write the police for cover, and we will not allow any kind of thing that will see the destruction of property.
“Anyone who tries it should be prepared to find himself in a detention camp, and may lose some parts of his body.
“Because the law says if you see somebody trying to destroy a property and you ask him to leave there and he refuses, then you will need to use force to get him out of there,” he said.
Mr Ikoro added that no Police officer will wait to see the kind of destruction witnessed during the last protest, adding that the law already prescribed what should be done in such circumstances.
The Commissioner of Police, Bolaji Salami, has been making efforts to get the police officers to return to work fully, after they had temporarily stayed away from work shortly after the devastating protests.
Several police formations in the state were razed by protesters, including the offices of the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress. A correctional centre was broken into and prisoners set free at Okitipupa.
Two policemen were reported to have died during the protest in the state.

Last week, Narcity reported that three world-renowned mountain climbers were killed by a deadly avalanche in Canada. On Monday morning, it was confirmed that the Banff avalanche victims were well-known mountain climbers that were famous across the world.
On April 18, 2019, Narcity reported that three climbers were presumed dead after scaling a large mountain in Banff National Park over several weeks. Just five hours ago, Parks Canada confirmed the news that the mountaineers died in the recent avalanche in Banff.
Immediately after news broke of the rumoured accident, air surveillance was deployed and the trio of climbers was not found right away.
Several days later, it has been confirmed that three men died in Banff National Park after successfully climbing Howse Peak. The climbers were all world renowned and known for their mountaineering skills. Each climber also had a significant following online, particularly on Instagram.
According to CTV News, Jess Roskelley, David Lama and Hansjörg Auer were reported to be missing last Wednesday after they failed to check in with family. They had reportedly reached Howse Peak summit and were descending when the avalanche hit.
Due to bad weather, the three climbers weren't found by rescue teams until Sunday. After they were reported missing on Wednesday, rescue teams began efforts to locate the missing men. According to CTV News, poor weather conditions prevented officials from searching on Thursday and Friday.
On Saturday, searchers were flown into the area using long lines and used probes to search the area to prevent a human-triggered avalanche.
Finally, the bodies were found on Sunday.
A photo of the three climbers was posted on Roskelley's Instagram 17 hours ago. You can see the image above that shows Roskelley (left), Auer (centre) and Lama (right).
The photo pays tribute to the famous climber and gives thanks to those who have reached out following his unexpected death. The caption reads, "Mountains help me navigate what is most important to me. They balance the chaos that is regular life. Balance is what I strive to accomplish in climbing - a balance of life, love and mountains. Alpine climbing is a life-long commitment. I live and breathe it.” - Jess Roskelley.
It continues, "The response we’ve received from the climbing community and the myriad of family, friends, acquaintances and The North Face team has been unbelievable. Our deepest condolences go out to the families of David Lama and Hansjörg Auer. Jess looked up to the two of them and was so excited to climb with them."
Friends and family of fellow mountaineer Hansjorg Auer posted a similar sentiment on his Instagram where he talked about the cost and danger of mountaineering.
This story feels all too reminiscent of another incident where three young travellers died in Shannon Falls, BC last year. Three well-known YouTubers and adrenaline junkies died in a waterfall-related accident last July.
Just last month, a special avalanche warning was issued across parts of Canada. Due to the warm weather, this becomes the season when mountain ranges will be most susceptible to avalanches due to ice melting. Please keep in mind that it's important to stay aware of weather warnings especially if you're thinking about hiking or adventuring in mountain regions.

After reports of the Galaxy Note 7 catching fire and exploding while charging, Samsung has launched a global recall on the smartphones, which debuted only a month ago. About 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7s have already sold, and the company said Friday it received 35 individual allegations of the phones combusting. For every million devices sold, the company estimates about 24 had the faulty battery. Koh Dong Jin, president of Samsung’s mobile communications business, called the recall and likely financial aftermath “heartbreaking.” The company said it may take two weeks to have replacements ready; many of the faulty devices are being quarantined in shops around the world that had been prepared to debut them today.

Robo-mission impossible? Talking robot on trans-US hitchhike stuck in Boston for 7 days!
A talking robot, attempting to hitchhike across the US, is making slow progress. People are giving it a ride anywhere except where it actually asks them to go. The Canadian cyborg, called hitchBOT, has been stuck in Boston for a week.
With its thumb raised, hitchBOT, designed as a study of human behavior, is requesting Americans to take it on a journey of a lifetime, from Boston Massachusetts to San Francisco, California.
So far the creation of two Canadian researchers hasn’t managed to leave the state, after the first week of its trans-America hitchhiking mission. Last Friday, the robot started its journey from the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) in Salem, Massachusetts.
New Englanders have apparently bounced the robot around the Boston area, using it for picturesque photo ops by the sea.
Dr David Harris Smith (McMaster University) and Dr Frauke Zeller (Ryerson University) first conceived hitchBOT in 2013 as a collaborative art project to see if people trust robots.
“Often we ask whether we can trust robots and it is a kind of vision of a dark future in which robots could be our overlords,” David Smith told RT.
“In this case we kind of reverse the question: if human beings are making robots to accomplish goals, would it be possible that these autonomous machines can trust humans?”
The robot, about the size of a child, is immobile and gets from place to place by being transported by strangers. Travelers can leave it at a gas station or shop, or just pass it on to their friends. It has a bucket for a body, foam noodles for arms and legs and wears yellow rubber gloves and patterned rubber boots.
“Please pick me up and put me in your vehicle,” hitchBOT says when he’s sitting on the side of the road. “I want to experience the American dream. Along with my newly shined wellies, I will be bringing a bucket list I made with the help of my family.”
Although the robot is made of junk you can find in your average basement, hitchBOT is equipped with a high-capacity battery and GPS so the researchers in Canada can track its journey. The robot also has the ability to carry on a limited conversation and give people random facts from Wikipedia. Also, it can snap its own photos, making itself active in social media. It took hundreds of hours of programming to enable hitchBOT to “live” independently among humans.
“It’s a little bit like launching a Mars mission,” Smith says. “We’re sending something away from the people who can actually fix it.”
HitchBOT became an internet sensation after catching 19 rides in just 26 days, covering some 10,000 kilometers in Canada. The robot also took a European vacation visiting Munich, Cologne, Berlin, and Hamburg in Germany, and some sites in the Netherlands.
Time for a well-balanced breakfast before continuing my travels. Robots cannot feel jealousy, but apparently dogs can pic.twitter.com/kN4fjsqEGq— hitchBOT (@hitchBOT) July 21, 2015
“People love robots too much. HitchBOT is having a pretty good time,” said Smith commenting on the fact that seven days after the beginning of the journey, hitchBOT is still in exactly the same location where it started, i.e. Boston.

I do a lot of reading. Sometimes I buy books, and sometimes I get them from the library. I never seem to be able bring myself to write formal reviews of the books I'm reading (even though I know a lot of blog readers like reading book reviews), but here are some short reviews "in brief" of some books I've read in recent weeks...
The Wild Trees by Richard Preston. This book is fascinating. Did you know that there is a whole new world, largely undiscovered, existing in the branches of California's redwoods? So few people have ventured up there, 200 and 300 feet above the ground. Some branches are so large that a whole forest, with many different types of trees, plants, and animals, sprout from the soil that collects on them! This book is an account not only of the trees, but of the individuals who have begun exploring them in recent decades. Their lives are as interesting as the trees they study, and this is one of my favorite books of the year.
The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. An enjoyable read, like Brown's other novels; however, several scenes of torture were too violent and gruesome for my taste, and at one point I considered not finishing the book. The plot is highly contrived, and often serves no purpose other than as a vehicle to convey Brown's theological and philosophical ideas. Many pages in the novel consist of nothing more than one character explaining these ideas to another. I can't imagine scenes like this being made into a movie (although I'm sure Hollywood will try). For me, though, it was the theology and philosophy that was interesting, and kept me reading.
The First Paul by Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan. Like The Wild Trees, I found this book at my local library. It was published this year (2009), so I was pleasantly surprised to see it there on the shelves. I can't believe I haven't read more of Borg and Crossan. At this point in my ministry, some of their ideas are not new to me, and yet they present them in ways that make it easier for me (as a pastor) to share them with my congregation. This book is an excellent exploration of the biblical writings attributed to the Apostle Paul, and how Paul's thoughts were adopted and transformed by subsequent writers using his name. The authors show how Paul was a radical on issues such as women and slavery, and how subsequent generations twisted his ideas into something more conservative and reactionary. I'm now inspired to read some of Borg's and Crossan's older books, and am looking forward to Marcus Borg's visit to Chapman Univeristy's Founders' Day next spring.
No Impact Man by Colin Beavan. In the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, Will Turner says "This is either madness or brilliance," to which Jack Sparrow replies, "It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide." Reading No Impact Man, I'm struck by both the madness and the brilliance of the author, who convinced his family to live for a year having as little environmental impact as possible. Their goal was to produce no trash and no carbon emissions, which meant buying food without packaging, walking or biking everywhere, turning off their electricity, and taking the stairs instead of the elevator, even though they lived--and worked--in New York high-rise buildings. Along the way, they faced some very difficult challenges, but also discovered new meaning and joy. Beaven's goal is not to convince readers that everyone should live like that; rather, he wants readers to understand how the choices they make affect the planet, and that many of the "conveniences" in life actually do little to improve the quality of life. It's an excellent book that I'm now reading through for a second time.

Arutz Sheva reports: Britain’s former Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks (pictured) has written a blistering op-ed slamming modern-day anti-Zionism as the “new anti-Semitism.”
In his Newsweek article, published Sunday, Rabbi Sacks refers to figures showing how escalating anti-Semitism has left many Jews considering leaving Europe (“as high as 46 percent in France and 48 percent in Hungary”), and noted that the phenomenon was quickly spreading to the US, specifically via university campuses.
The vehicle allowing anti-Semites to express their Jew-hatred is what Sacks describes as a sort of festival of anti-Israel hatred on campus.
“Much of the intimidation on campus is stirred by “Israel Apartheid” weeks and the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) campaign against Israel. These have become what Easter was in the Middle Ages, a time for attacks against Jews,” he writes.
Describing anti-Semitism as a “virus that survives by mutating,” he points to the rapidly-changing, often conflicting “motives” given by anti-Semites for their attacks against Jews.

Newport Beach is Charles Laverty’s hometown
My hometown of Newport Beach has some of the best shopping and scenery. We have an amazing championship golf course and beautiful beaches. The town occupies about 40 square miles
The temperature here is a big draw for me as is with most of the population. Daytime averages are only 80 degrees and only dips to the low 60’s during the winter. In the evenings it really never gets below 50 in the winter.
Moving here was a tough one coming from he hustle and bustle of the east coast. I am very happy with my choice of towns.
Newport Beach has one of the largest boating harbors in the world. Driving over to watch all the boats has been a highlight to many of my out of town guests.
I travel a lot for work, but when I am home I love to drive by the beach on Sunday mornings real early. This really starts a peaceful vibe to my work week ahead. Please check out my wordpress with all of my travels here and around the Los Angeles area.

Mine is a start-up company in the drone and UAV industry. We are 3 partners who have to support the company through our day jobs. Don't want to sound ironic but our business is where the passion is. But we have to keep our jobs to support the business. We have invested about $100k in 14 months of existence. We have spent on capex & marketing. Revenue has been pretty low and we are pondering on how the competition is thriving whilst we are trying our hardest. Need a mentor to put things in correct and unbiased perspective. Need to go the right way.
How do I go from being a business operator to being a business owner in a personal service type business model?
I started my business, Vector Health and Performance in 2010 as a strength and conditioning coach aiming to provide a better level of service and support to regional athletes and people. Since this time it has grown into a 650K Business and I have a number of great staff. I have worked really hard with what is now I believe a great team and they need me to lead them into the next level. I have really connected with the vision presented in books like the E-Myth about how a technician builds his business from the ground up, and I guess this is what I have done. What are some suggestions to transfer my role in the business from being in the trenches, to being a true business leader and leading my people to better opportunities?
Hi guys Thank you for your time. The last year has seen my company spiraling into from being in the black to being in the red majorly. I cant put my finger on what is going on. We pit our prices up last year by only $5:00 so our average price now starts at just $25:00 which will get you home safely up to 7.5 k and then by $5:00 increments. I am literally at my wits end, we have done i believe everything right but just cant seem to get myself out of almost clasiming financial hardship. Please help any advice would be greatly appreciated and would like to invite you one night with us on a busy evening to see what we do. Thank you Regards Rob Braddock 0490 140 572
I have been in business since 1990 and through ANZ bank have an overdraft for around $145,000. This is pretty much max out sitting around $125,000 and credit cards at $30,000. Trying to start this new business Zoom Zoom Gold Coast and have had training through NEIS program, but now need to change business model but need cash or loans. My original business is senior civil designer that I still do and main source of income. Would really like some help but feel maybe too late, over committed or too old.
We've had the business for close to 8 years now and in that time from my point of view I don't think it has grown anywhere near enough. I feel like we should be growing more and getting bigger. There seems to be this barrier that I am finding very difficult to overcome and I believe it is to do with marketing. What are some marketing strategies? How do you do good marketing? I have always found marketing the hardest thing to do. I have ran plenty of Facebook and Google Ads with very specific targeting to our target market but I'm not getting the results I want.
I have an enormous passion and knowledge of my business and the products i have on offer. I have attempted to run programs to generate business but had not interest at all. I don't have much money to input to advertising as i am a single mum currently on parenting payment but i so want to change this situation for me and my children I have applied for other jobs to help cover my business costs but due to school and kinder hours I am not having any success in gaining employment. I did a diploma and a certificate to help me get into this line of work but found that I'm still not qualified enough for employment so this is why i want to go out on my own and fill the neich in the mental health area. I have so much life experience and a real understanding and i just want to get myself out there and start helping people. Please any advice at all will be taken on board and so appreciated. Regards ANNALISE
There is a serious shortage of accommodation for the homeless. There are many young people including young refugees in need of training to be able to earn a living for their future. I would like to start a social enterprise where we train these young Australians by teaching them building trades while building small houses in some of the thousands of shipping containers lying idle around the country. As an architect, I know how to create the conversion (having done one already) and I can find the trainer builders. How do I get funding to get the enterprise going until it becomes self funding?
I am currently working as a Support Worker for people with disabilities. I recently completed a Bachelor Degree in Counselling. Ideally I'd like to run a counselling practice where people can overcome problems like anxiety depression and behaviour change that lasts a bit longer than 6 weeks. I feel like I can't compete against psychologists who have a medicare provider number. I'm doing a postgraduate in psychology with the hope to get a provider number. I'd still have to do another three years of study. I'm 53. I've seen other counsellors do well without a provider number. My house isn't good enough for clients to have here for counselling sessions. I have had one counselling client since November he is doing very well now and contacts me once a month to check in. He isn't paying. My job that kind of pays the bills is only casual and I earn about $700 -$900 a week. My morgage is $310 a week my bills are around $250 a week. Not including food. I feel like I'm stuck chasing my tail. I feel like I need help to work on my counselling practice as a business not just an idea.
I’m a small landscaping and garden maintenance company with roughly 65 regular clients consisting of both residential clients and commercial clients. Roughly about 90% of my clients pay cash which in turn hard to keep bank records of cash flow. My work schedule and invoice books shows how much I earn buy all the lenders want bank statements to show my income

The engraving of the pope asleep at St Aponal in VeniceMysteries & Legends
The engraving of the pope asleep at St Aponal in Venice
In St Aponal Square, in the San Polo district in Venice, there is a small covered walkway – (in Venetian dialect sottoportego) - decorated with a piece of wood with a curious engraving depicting a pope asleep; this image is linked to a legend ...
When Pope Alexander III, in 1177, came to Venice to sign a peace treaty with the German emperor Frederick Barbarossa, fearing a plot from the emperor to eliminate him, he spent the night here instead of going to the nearby Patriarchal Palace.
Perhaps the Pope chose this sottoportego because it was near a house that belonged to the Templars, the famous warrior-monks keepers of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, which at that time were the bodyguards of the Pope.
In the inner walls of the sottoportego you can read Templars inscriptions and it is also said that anyone who recites here the Our Father or Hail Mary, will have a full indulgence for all their sins.

Wearing face masks will become mandatory in more indoor spaces from next weekend, Boris Johnson has announced.
Face coverings will be mandatory in indoor settings where people are likely to come into contact with people they do not know, such as museums, places of worship and cinemas, from August 8.
The prime minister added that the new guidelines will be enforceable by law.
Speaking as he revealed that lockdown reopenings planned for Saturday August 1 are now being postponed over fears of a coronavirus second wave, Johnson said: ‘We will also extend the requirement to wear a face covering to other indoor settings where you are likely to come into contact with people you do not normally meet, such as museums, galleries, cinemas and places of worship.
‘We now recommend face coverings are worn in these settings, and this will become enforceable in law from August 8.’
The Prime Minister added: ‘Most people in this country are following the rules and doing their best to control the virus.
‘But we must keep our discipline and our focus and we cannot be complacent.
‘I have asked the Home Secretary to work with the police and others to ensure the rules which are already in place are properly enforced.’
The prime minister announced the updated mask guidance as it emerged that some Britons believe the government is trying to ‘control’ the population by forcing them to wear coverings.
The new guidance may not be well-received by English police bosses, as several forces admitted they didn’t have the resources to enforce the wearing of masks.
It was also revealed last week that just six fines were given out by police in a two week period in July for people not wearing face masks on public transport.
Barry Sheerman, Labour MP for Huddersfield, feared a second wave of the coronavirus had started and said lockdown measures needed to be tough across the board.
He said: “I called for compulsory face masks yesterday. What people cannot understand is you can meet someone in a pub but you cannot see them by popping next door.
“If this is a second wave, and it looks like it is, we should go the whole hog – compulsory face masks and shut the pubs as well.
“The truth is this Government has presided over the worst result for coronavirus deaths in the whole of Europe.

Kangana Ranaut has given a hilarious statement on Thalaivi trending in Pakistan. Kangana took to social media and took a dig at the Jayalalithaa biopic trending in Pakistan. The film was trending at the top spot in Pakistan.
The film made enough buzz in India and has now taken over Pakistan. Kangana's performance in the film is being widely appreciated by both fans and critics alike.
Kangana shared a list of "Netflix Top 10 in Pakistan on October 10, 2021″. The list had Thalaivi too. Ranaut further called out those who were watching the film sitting in Pakistan and called them traitors. "On a lighter note jaan ke tasalli hue deshadrohi sirf isi desh me nahi hain (traitors are just not in our country)."
Kangana calls out Bollywood mafia
Last month, in a series of tweets, Kangana had lashed out at "Bollywood mafia" for not watching the film or appreciating it. "Rarely a film loved passionately and unanimously... And Thalaivii is one such film... I am glad people getting to know Purchai Thalaivi Dr J. Jayalalithaa's story. Also, big thanks to my team for making a film which is a shining diamond in my filmography. #gratitude," she wrote.
Calling Bollywood people to rise above "petty politics", Ranaut further wrote, "Meanwhile waiting for Bollywood Mafia to keep our political and ideological differences aside just how I don't find it difficult to appreciate genuine art maybe they can also rise above petty human emotions and for once let art win #Thalaivii."
Ram Gopal Varma praises Kangana
Ram Gopal Varma had also taken to social media to praise Kangana's performance in the film. He said, "Well @KanganaTeam, anyone with strong opinions is bound to provoke extreme reactions ..I must confess I felt urs a tall claim when u compared with Hollywood greats, but I now apologise and agree 100% that no other actress in the world has ever had ur versatility."

text: Ryobi's lithium-ion batteries are ideal for active DIYers, like the members of Ryobi Nation who have built everything from a Rubik's Cube chest of drawers to a grocery lift that hauls sacks of food from the car to an apartment complex balcony via a crane. Imagine having to stop halfway during construction of a grocery lift to recharge a dying battery. The new Ryobi lithium-ion batteries alleviate that concern by delivering fade-free power for those tackling projects that require an extended time commitment. The 18V High Capacity model, for instance, weighs 20% less than the ONE+ NiCD battery, and yet holds its charge four times as long. The 18V High Capacity also has an onboard fuel gauge that indicates battery power status. When the red battery light shows it's low on juice, simply plug it into the portable 18V Dual Chemistry Charger™. The lightweight machine charges all 18V ONE+ batteries in less than an hour thanks to Ryobi's patented IntelliPort™ technology, which protects battery cells and maximizes battery life. (It conserves energy so well that it earned an ENERGY STAR® logo.) The diagnostic readout provides charging status and even lets you know if the battery is too hot or cold to charge. The only thing it doesn't do is organize your garage for you, but with the RYOBI ONE+ collection, you will no longer have to worry about that chore.

DIY: Most DIY installations go smoothly. The major brands have compatibility checkers to see which of their models will work with the wiring your old thermostat is using. Potential problems involve the need for a C-wire, or common wire, when the existing bundle doesn’t include one. There are solutions discussed in our Thermostat Buying Guide, linked to below.
Energy efficiency can be improved even more in central heating systems by introducing zoned heating. This allows a more granular application of heat, similar to non-central heating systems. Zones are controlled by multiple thermostats. In water heating systems the thermostats control zone valves, and in forced air systems they control zone dampers inside the vents which selectively block the flow of air. In this case, the control system is very critical to maintaining a proper temperature.
As I type this, I am having my ducts cleaned. About 30 including returns and the furnace. $543.00. I am watching the team do it and can see the clear vacuuming tubing and how dirty it has become. I like the gentleman’s comment on “stick your head in your vacuum and breath”….I get it. The team showed me the machine and it’s filtration system…and they will show me it again after the cleaning. However, like I said before, I am actively seeing the tubing that is clear before they start and how dirty it is once they begin and continue cleaning. Reputable company and not a “fly by night” coupon service. People don’t be so cheap, that is your problem.
Fuses -- Anyone who has worked with electrical systems knows all about fuses and how they fail. They can burn out over time, may just be loose, or can blow out during an electrical storm or due to overload from another failed component. Of course, that's what they're supposed to do; they stop surges from going through and damaging the rest of the system. When a fuse fails, whatever system it was protecting will stop working.
When central air conditioning service fails during a heat spell, you may have to wait days for an HVAC repair technician or an ac contractor to show up, and you'll probably pay at least several hundred for the repair. But if you're comfortable working around electricity and are willing to spend about $50 on parts, you can probably repair your air conditioning service yourself in about two hours and save about $225 on parts markup and labor.

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Through twelve days in September, listeners of WKAR Radio combined efforts with Michigan Education Trust (MET) to provide more than 600 books to capital region children in need.
The public radio station from Michigan State University recently concluded its annual fall on-air fundraising campaign encouraging listeners to support the capital region's source for NPR News and classical music.
Through a special partnership with MET, every donation made to WKAR during the station’s fall campaign will provide a book for a child in need in our community.
The result? More than 600 books will be donated to children in the capital region.
"Each year, our listeners step up with financial support to provide news that matters and music that inspires for their community," said ShaDonna Crosby, WKAR director of annual giving. "Partnerships like this can channel the generous energy of our audience back to the community in so many ways."
"We're so glad to partner with WKAR on this important project," said Robin Lott, executive director of Michigan Education Trust, the state’s prepaid 529 college savings plan. “Reading plays such a vital role in every child’s education and their lifelong learning process.”
The fundraising drive concluded at midnight Sept. 30 and raised more than $97,000.
The next WKAR Radio Fundraiser takes place Spring 2019. Businesses and agencies wishing to partner with WKAR on a special community impact effort are asked to contact Judy Kehler, WKAR director of corporate partnerships, email@example.com or (517) 884-4762.

Fury as Chancellor grabs £400m from struggling High Street: George Osborne under fire after axing business rate relief for small shops
The Government has clawed back more than £400 million from high street retailers in a move which has infuriated campaigners who have been fighting a losing battle to promote Britain’s battered town centres.
Former high street tsar Mary Portas and retail veteran Bill Grimsey accused Chancellor George Osborne of a betrayal of the businesses that are working hard to keep high streets alive for local communities.
Portas told The Mail on Sunday last night: ‘It seems Government isn’t really serious about getting behind the small businesses on our high streets. I really am very frustrated.’ She pointed out that at the same time Government policy appears to ignore global firms such as Amazon and Google which pay insignificant levels of tax on sales in the billions.
Under fire: Former High Street tsar Mary Portas and retail veteran Bill Grimsey accused Chancellor George Osborne of a betrayal of the businesses
‘With some big businesses paying pitiful taxes, how about supporting the people who impact on our real life communities?’ Portas asked. ‘The small shops, pubs and cafes on our high streets and in our towns need a break.’
Grimsey, former boss of Wickes, Iceland and Focus DIY, said: ‘It is like banging your head against a brick wall. This is a signal from the Chancellor that says: “We don’t really care about town centres and smaller retail businesses and we’ll sneak this £417 million under the radar”.’
The pair lashed out after Osborne failed to extend a measure to provide business rate relief to 278,000 small shops. The Chancellor had announced it in 2013 after Portas conducted a high-profile review of the plight of town centres at the Government’s invitation.
Last night the Treasury, which has extended wider small business relief, said local councils will ‘continue to have discretionary powers to provide relief to retailers facing particular difficulties’.
The Local Data Company has revealed that independent high street shops are closing at a faster rate than they are opening for the first time since 2011.
The tax relief which has been scrapped excluded big stores on and those on flourishing high streets. It meant small stores in struggling areas saved £1,000 in the year to March 2015 and £1,500 in the current financial year. Campaigners argue that the tax relief had allowed some firms to stay in business.
Grimsey, who funded his own review after Portas’s, added: ‘Westminster is only interested in soundbites and gaining political capital on the day.
‘There is no interest in small retail businesses surviving or what might happen to town centres. The Government is burying the subject.’
• The Government faces a backlash from small firms after it emerged this weekend it is closing the Business Growth Service. The initiative, being dropped as part of 17 per cent budget cut at the Department for Business Innovation and Skills, was set up for firms seeking advice on expansion.
The Service’s website has put up a statement stating no more contracts will be started after midnight on Monday and that all existing work would have to be concluded by March next year.

Struggling Between “Conforming and Peace”, or “Rejecting and Conflicts”: Women Ageing in the Context of Gender/Family Norm Flux
This study is based on qualitative data from in-depth interviews with a dozen of women aged between late 50s and 60s in Korea, whose entire life could be summed up as an accumulated experience of either “conforming” or “rejecting” the socially accepted/acceptable gender/family norms in a family-oriented culture. Data was analysed sequentially, firstly adopting the Voice Centred Relational Method and secondly added by a synchronic thematic analysis using QSR NVivo 10.
Contrasts between women conforming to the norms and enjoying peace in close family relationships on the one hand, and women rejecting and handling family conflicts in later life on the other hand is surprisingly clear from the analysis. Some career women suffer from work-care conflicts and some others from husband’s dropped authority due to unmet men’s duty of breadwinning. After all, however, what matters most in determining the quality of family relationship in old age appears to be women’s gender/family norm conformity. A third and “struggling” type in-between “conforming” and “rejecting” turns out to suffer most, hurting oneself both physically and psychologically.
The study contributes to advancing feminist social gerontology, discussing identity and power dynamics of women ageing in a family-oriented culture. Practical challenges towards gender equity in caring remain as questions to be addressed, both culturally and politically.

Every once in a while, these waves of irritated disappointment wash over me, and I get really irked and frustrated.
They pass just as quickly as they come, but I can’t help but immersing myself deeply in that irate moment, wondering just exactly why there are so many people placed before me who annoy me so deeply.
That probably sounds haughty. Let me explain and I’ll allow you to be the judge.
Sometimes I just wonder about people. Their reckless driving; their endless complaining about things that they could fix themselves; their finger-pointing at nameless institutions which, while not entirely blameless in our society’s ills, are not the entire matter that is wrong with our city/state/country/world at large; their clueless obstruction of the supermarket aisles, with blank bovine faces that stare placidly at a nothing while their equally bovine asses block your way from whatever it is you are trying to reach to complete your shopping; the way they judge you in the same way, sometimes.
And the ways in which they don’t at all, but should.
Sometimes I wonder if people purposefully ignore well-meaning words of advice or carefully-researched data because their narrow view of things is so much cozier and allows them to wallow in the obtuse self-pity that cripples them completely.
Sometimes I wonder if people have any of these thoughts at all, preferring instead to just wade through their pools of sorrows blindly, not caring if they are swimming deeper and away from the shallow end, because it’s easier to keep moving and keep doing something familiar than to open their eyes and drag themselves to the far-looking shore.
Sometimes I wonder if it truly is a pool, or a desert, perhaps. Or if I am just dribblingly dramatic and entirely too harsh on people whose lives are harder and bitterer than I could ever imagine.
And sometimes I wonder if lying to yourself is easier, period. If it’s easier to look at your morbid obesity as something beautiful and to make you proud, instead of the eating disorder/potential health hazard it truly is. If it is less painful to look at your purple, repulsive striations as showcase-worthy “souvenirs” of battles with weight gain or loss or pregnancy, rather than quietly knowing that they are there and keeping them to yourself.
I really do wonder. And sometimes I turn that wonder inward.
And talk about depressing.
Like, If you really want to know, you only have to ask. You’re a relatively well-adjusted and seemingly happy person: baby, man, kitty, and most importantly, your own cheerful and curious self. I’m not saying you’re never sad, but you’ve had less personal context on this matter of late. Just try to understand that it isn’t always so cut-and-dry as crippling self pity. You can bet that when shame is involved, the story you hear is only the tip of the iceberg. And when people complain about things they can fix, usually those people are starving for a little sympathy, and often need it badly enough to sabotage themselves in an effort to get it. Much of this, of course, happens on an unconscious or subconscious level. In certain rare cases, the person does think about it consciously, but the mind of that person and the thought process that truly drives the behavior are highly unusual and completely inscrutable even to him… or her. And therapy is expensive.
So please remember: not everyone is as smart as you are. Few are. Some people just don’t know how to change, though it may seem obvious to you. When you are having difficulty or are downright unable to cope, your field of vision narrows dramatically. And of course, there’s the simple fact that everything is harder to do when you’ve lost your joie de vivre.
Be that as it may, I’d rather not be the judge. This whole judging thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I mean, go ahead if that floats your boat, but I find that when it comes to the motivation of other people (depressed people with selective memories and perceptions of reality, no less), my info resources are rarely adequate to make sound judgments.
So in summary, you’re a terrible, terrible person and everyone should be outraged at the things you say. For shame! And furthermore, you’ll stand there waiting until I’m done picking between Count Chocula and Frankenberry and LIKE IT, missy! Get used to the sight of my ever-widening and HFCS-fortified ass, because it will be in your way at the supermarket for the rest of your life, foo’. Harrumph.

And if the American body politic doesn't experience a complete meltdown this week, perhaps others will notice. According to a recent interview that Corker gave to the New York Times, Republicans in DC behind the scenes are talking constantly about the fact that Donald Trump is unfit to be the president of the United States.
Sen. Jeff Flake has been outspoken in his criticism of Trump, who's attacked him in return. Bob Corker risks unraveling the White House tax overhaul effort and that another major legislative failure could hobble the administration for the rest of his term. The president is likely to bristle at Corker's suggestion that Kelly is a sitter for the president, the person said, and that could lessen Kelly's influence or, ultimately, shorten his tenure.
"No I didn't undercut anybody", said Mr. Trump, scheduled to have lunch with Tillerson Tuesday. "But if he did [say] that, I guess we'll have to compare IQ tests". "You know he does it". "When you want to talk about why there's no repeal-and-replace, why there's no tax cut, why there's no tax reform, why there's no infrastructure bill, you saw it right there", Bannon told Sean Hannity, who was not about to disagree. "He concerns me. He would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation".
Kerala is safe for all; don't fall for false propaganda: DGP
Subsequently, workers employed in hotels started leaving the north Kerala city of Kozhikode. He also said that the rumours in social media should not be a cause for any concern.
"I don't see how it's productive, and I think that two words would kind of answer your question from my point of view: Cool it", he said. Mr. Trump said he was smarter than Mr. Tillerson. Corker also said that Trump could set the U.S. They put up with Trump so that they can get "Trump's agenda"-which is more the establishment congressional Republican agenda than anything else-passed".
For days, Trump has been engaged in an increasingly acrimonious spat with the Tennessee Republican, tweeting out that Corker's decision to not seek reelection stemmed from Trump's decision not to endorse him.

His first tweet of the day was aimed at the National Football League: "Why is the NFL getting massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country?"
"I have great respect for the office of the president, and I don't want to detract from that great respect I have for the office of the president - the office", Grassley said.

Pimedate Ööde Filmifestival / Black Nights Film Festival
This is my very subjective top 5 list of 13 seen films at this year's film festival:
1:Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry
A movie about my favourite artist and one of my favourite countries, China, would have made it to the top list even if it was not well made. Now this documentary is very well made, so that makes it my very favourite film.
2:A Caretaker's Tale
High score on the contrasts, the beauty and the surprises mixed with a wonderful, unique story.
Based on a price-winning novel, based on what may have happened to some during the Soviet occupation and today, and very well presented on the screen.
Wonderfully filmed with the colors and the light of Krøyer's paintings, and the intense beauty of the first so happy and then so sad Marie.
5:A Lady in Paris
A well told story, with a well fitting mood. Great to see such quality in Estonian film making.

German prosecutors have alleged for the first time that Bernie Ecclestone and a trust belonging to the head of Formula One's family paid almost $44m (£27m) in bribes to a German banker.
In return, they allege, Ecclestone received $41.4m in commissions from BayernLB, the German bank, while a family trust company was paid $25m.
State prosecutors in Munich said on Tuesday they had charged Gerhard Gribkowsky, the German banker who organised BayernLB's sale of a stake in F1 in 2005, with breach of trust and tax evasion as well as having been in receipt of corrupt payments, the Financial Times reported. Gribkowsky, the former chief risk officer at the Munich-based bank, was arrested in January.
Prosecutors told the Financial Times that Ecclestone, who was not available for comment, remains under investigation in connection with allegations of bribery and abetting breach of trust. Ecclestone, who leases the commercial rights to Formula One with his associates from the FIA, the ruling body, has given evidence to the prosecutors and said he expects to be cleared of wrongdoing. He has not yet publicly explained his involvement in the BayernLB sale or his dealings with Gribkowsky.
There is speculation over a possible sale of F1 by CVC Capital Partners, the private equity group that bought the motor sport in 2005 from BayernLB for $1.7bn, with Rupert Murdoch's News Corp interested.CVC has said it has no knowledge of any payments to Mr Gribkowsky in connection with its purchase of F1. It was alleged that an internal CVC investigation uncovered payments by BayernLB to Ecclestone and a foundation linked to him, Bambino Trust. Prosecutors allege Gribkowsky set up and controlled two Austrian companies that received almost $44m from someone they name as "Bernard E" and an entity of the Bambino Trust.
"According to the results of investigations this is bribery money, whose payment was disguised through two fake consulting contracts with [companies] in Mauritius and the British Virgin Islands," a statement from prosecutors said.
The prosecutors said that to compensate for these payments, Gribkowsky agreed to pay $41.4m to Ecclestone on behalf of BayernLB, as well as $25m to Bambino. "The Bayerische Landesbank incurred damages of almost $66.5m through the conduct of the accused." Under German law, a court must now decide whether to open the case against Gribkowsky. BayernLB declined to comment.


Magnetopause current as seen by Cluster
- 1SSTD, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon, OX11 0QX, UK
- 2Imperial College, Exhibition Road, London SW7 2BW, UK
Abstract. The four-spacecraft, magnetic field measurements on Cluster can be combined to produce an accurate determination of the electric current in the magnetopause boundary during stable magnetopause crossings. For events that are planar on the scale of the spacecraft configuration, the thickness of the current layer can be accurately estimated from its magnetic profile at each spacecraft and the corresponding boundary crossing times. The latter, give a determination of boundary motion relative to the Cluster array. We use the estimates of all these properties, for a range of spacecraft separation distances, to show, firstly, that the estimate of electric current density is representative even when the spatial scale of the configuration of Cluster spacecraft approaches the thickness of the current layer. Secondly, we show that the estimated current lies in the plane of the boundary and demonstrate this for crossings occurring during large-scale ripples on the magnetopause. Thirdly, we show that the magnitude of the current is accurately represented, averaged over the extent of the current layer, by comparing to the change in the boundary-parallel magnetic field component divided by the estimated current layer thickness. We demonstrate this last point using a range of crossings each having a different thickness and crossing speed, different changes in the magnetic field component and different current densities.

— One of Dayton’s freshest spots just got wheels.
Husband and wife, Elizabeth and Dave Furst, opened The Santa Clara Juicery last summer in Elizabeth’s childhood neighborhood. The juicery, located at 1912 N. Main St., was the first step to what the duo hoped to be a revitalization of the Santa Clara neighborhood. While growing up there, Elizabeth was often helping her parents with their business, Evans Electric, after school.
“We are excited to launch the first food trailer at the Santa Clara Juicery,” Dave Furst said. “We are still confirming a permanent location, but some potential options have approached us in Centerville, Beavercreek and the (Air Force) base.”
“The original goal of the Santa Clara Juicery was to spark hope in the Santa Clara Neighborhood,” Furst said. “It is doing just that!”
Sunday, the juicery also will be celebrating its one-year birthday with festivities and a chance for customers to check out the brand new trailer from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be free yoga onsite at noon.
Santa Clara will be launching a brand new menu item at the event, CBD-infused juice. The birthday party will be the first opportunity for Santa Clara fans to try the new concoction.

We Changzhou Rolevel Electric Co.,Ltd professionally produced the pendulum level with a laser.This combination makes it easier for the user to determine a straight and level line over a greater distance.
As its name implies, a pendulum level involves using a weight on a string to determine whether or not an object is level. The pendulum will swing to the right or to the left if the object is not level. The goal is to make the weight hang straight down.
Due to the self-levelling cross line laser, it makes much easier for the user to see the level line. This is particularly helpful when hanging cabinets or artwork on walls. When the user finds a position that is level, the laser shines a line on the wall. In this way, the user can use the level to determine where nails should be placed or where the top or bottom of an object should be hung in order to make sure it is level.
Using a laser level is particularly important in cabinetry and in construction, since without one, the work being completed may be off-balance. A cabinet that is not level can result in objects falling from one side to the other. Similarly, care must be taken when building a home or other structure, or else the entire structure will turn out crooked. This is unpleasant to the eye and can place excessive stress on certain parts of the structure.
A surveyor also uses a laser level, which is typically placed on a tripod. It is then spun in order to create a horizontal plane. The beam projector uses a rotating head that contains a mirror that sweeps the beam horizontally and produces readable level vials. These can be manually adjusted with screws until the beam is level. The operator then carries a movable sensor to detect the beam and, when the sensor is in line with the beam, the level beeps and the different points on the terrain can be compared.
