This week focus on modelling first task-based project, learning solid foundations of traditional practice (again) and having a more in-depth look at the tools for 2-point perspective.
Traditional Art Practice – Building blocks & Medieval Gateway
This week in traditional art practice, we focused on the building blocks of the figure in still life & more on one-point perspective, drawing the medieval gateway off campus.
Still life had shapes set out for speed drawing warm-ups. This was an introduction to primitive shapes; combining line and tone to create the impression of volume – building up the contrast. We all focused on the combined use of contour, line and tonal value with rendering techniques. I really enjoyed this and finished the final piece within the week (yay :3). However, I included my thumbnails on the page, which Teo told me not to do again, and the line/outline was too thick on the figures. Overall I think it came out great though.
We walked around twenty mins to the medieval gateway, just off campus. We were developing our knowledge of single point perspective & at the horizon line/reference points within the environment. I had a bit of trouble creating the thumbnails but Chris really helped me to analyse the complex landscape compositions. On location at the mediaeval gateway in Newarke Close / Castle View was nice on the sunny day we were there. After I made the main piece but only 3/4 of the ways through (Look at pictures below for progress).
3D Game Production – UV Unwrap
This week focused on the main part of material tabs and UVW Unwrapping in 3D Max and the treasure chest creation. This focused on the modelling side and materials of 3D Max. These tutorials followed on from the basic interface and modelling skills introduced in weeks 1 and 2 & introduced the essential basic skills for manipulating Geometry using the Editable Poly mode and Sub-object levels in the Command panel. We created a Warhammer using mainly the “editable poly” modifier and I also used panopto (DMU Replay) to look into this in detail.
After the Warhammer (Thursday), I made the first initial parts of my treasure chest for the week 6 formative assessment. We will use the taught
content to produce the chest. You should try to
produce the chest, unwrap it, and create a hand painted texture in GAME1005. I feel the piece went well and will create a great treasure chest. Haven’t created the content to produce the chest. You should try to props yet but hopefully, when I finish the piece it’ll be okay to add some (not creating too many tri-count).
Digital Art Practice – Perspective Tools (again)
Yet another look into the fundamentals of Photoshop and also traditional art. To understand 2-point perspective and how it will aid our work. I didn’t actually attend, which is a shame because I may or may not have problems with this subject. I looked at online resources but finding it hard. Will have to explore this outside of class.
Critical Game Studies – Employability and Pong
We were looking at early arcade games and the first generation of home consoles and games (1972–1978), which I thought was really cool. We also looked at the 1st generation home game consoles and how they drastically changed the gaming experience and in turn, culture. It was really fun. So was the playtests of Breakout and Frogger game, looking at them analytically in groups.
I also need to remember to approach disability and maybe tutors about disability getting worse.

Perhaps one of the fascinating things about dance performance is the relationship of the dancers’ movements to the beat of the music. An exciting performance is far less about its dancers being “in time”, than the pleasure and play they produce by being out of time. Danza Contemporánea de Cuba’s performance tonight illustrates this well. They appear to have a far more “relaxed” (for want of a better word) feeling for the beat than we tend to see in most European companies. It is something that seems flow from their roots: something instinctive and quintessentially Cuban.
The first piece in tonight’s programme, Colombian-Belgian choreographer Annabelle López Ochoa’s Reversible, is an exploration of human identity, human interactions and our preconceptions surrounding gender. It begins rather primal and raw—a ritualised confrontation of difference—but becomes a celebration of human similarities, ending in beautiful unity.
This is followed by the highlight of this evening, Theo Clinkard’s The Listening Room, an exciting, somewhat experimental work, which is full of amazing, vibrant power. While the audience hear Steve Reich’s Variations for Vibes, Pianos and Strings over the house sound system, the dancers listen to a very diverse range of music and text on headphones: the audience have no idea what the dancers are hearing.
Although this sounds like a recipe for disaster and mayhem, Clinkard’s clever structuring creates a tight, highly satisfying work, while allowing the dancers a great deal of freedom: they are able to tap down into the core of their creative energy. Furthermore, with the mind’s propensity for creating order, we cannot help but make what we see on stage fit to the music we hear, even its nuances.
The programme ends with Matria Etnocentra by the company’s resident choreographer and dancer, George Céspedes. Whereas the dancers’ energy seems to explode in The Listening Room, in Matria Etnocentra it is constrained geometrically, creating more of an implosion. It juxtaposes two important aspects of Cuban history, military presence and popular dance, concluding in a dynamic fusion of styles presented in a cascade of changing shapes. This a great finale to a very well programmed evening.

Ladysmith’s Working Group made a presentation to school parents in limbo last week with regard to the uproar of change proposed by School District 68.
The presentation was given on Tuesday Nov. 27 at 7 p.m. at Ladysmith Secondary School, as numerous disgruntled parents came out to voice their opinions for over two hours. There was also a similar gathering held the night prior.
Dave Hutchinson, superintendent at SD68, was one of the first to speak to the crowd.
“The long term goals of the board is meeting each student’s needs, continued improvement of instruction and enhancing the facilities that support learning opportunities,” he said. “The achievement of our students is not what it should be. Students aren’t graduating when they should be. Most students aren’t doing as well as they should be. We are below the provincial average in terms of our performance.”
Earlier this year, SD68 proposed its 10-Year Enhanced Facilities for Learning Plan “centred on the improvement of student learning.”
Ladysmith’s Working Group was created by the district in order to look at schools specific to the area. It is made up of various PAC members, council members, CVRD representatives, Stz’uminus First Nation representatives, local school principals and school district staff.
The Working Group has come up with two options, Option A and Option B, that differ from the school district’s original intentions.
Both options still include the closure of Ecole Davis Road Elementary and Ladysmith Intermediate at some point in the next couple of years, as well as the transfer of Davis Road’s French Immersion program to North Oyster Elementary.
Under both options, Ladysmith Secondary School will then take on Grade 7 students embracing a 7-12 configuration and Ladysmith Primary will become a K-6 school until a new elementary school is built in the town.
“The ultimate vision is a new elementary school in the Town of Ladysmith, said SD68’s deputy superintendent John Blain at the meeting. “That’s the long-term plan. The school district wants to use the space LSS has (in terms of moving Grade 7 students there).”
The presentation lasted around 45 minutes and was followed by an influx of opinions from local parents in limbo, with those from Davis Road dominating.
Randy Lewis has a daughter in Grade 1 at Davis Road.
“Ecole Davis Road has a strong school spirit,” she said. “There’s 250 students there which fits the school district’s optimal student size for elementary schools (200-400). It has a low rate of bullying and there’s a caring, learning environment with increasing student enrolment. If there’s no buses to North Oyster, no student will go. If there is buses, no parents will be there in the afternoon so that community feel is lost.”
Davis Road’s famous French Immersion plan is an attraction for parents that send their children there, and most are not keen on the program moving to North Oyster, approximately a 12-kilometre drive.
One of Davis Road’s biggest criticisms from school hierarchy is the lack of facilities.
The school has a facilities condition index of 0.4284 — the worst in the district.
Rob Smith has daughter Ava, aged 10, and son Sam, 7, at Davis Road.
“I love the facilities,” he said. “Yes, the lack of facilities has united us together. My son Sam was born deaf and he is succeeding in French Immersion. Moving that to North Oyster is an experiment and a gamble. Close North Oyster. Keep Davis Road open.”
Under the school district’s original plan, North Oyster should’ve closed in June — but it remains open.
It has a facilities condition index of 0.2616, ranked 22nd in the district, which seemingly appeals to SD68.
It is the Ladysmith-area school in the best condition but only 90 students attend there, primarily due to lack of population in the school’s catchment area.
Wade Fotherby, who has numerous kids at Davis Road, had questions for Hutchinson and Blain when he took to the mic.
“Do you think it’s a good idea to cut off a perfectly good arm of the school district? Is there any public support of this 10-year plan as I have not heard any. Why are we implementing a 10-year plan with no evidence it will actually work? It will benefit students 10 years from now but nobody today,” said Fotherby.
Seija Lane’s child is in Grade 3 at Davis Road in the French Immersion program — a setup she is keen to see remain.
“There’s going to be lots of current French Immersion students who won’t commute to North Oyster so there won’t be enough students to sustain it. French Immersion at Davis Road is a success. If moved out of town, it might not survive,” said Lane.
Student enrolment in the Ladysmith zone has declined by over 500 students in the past 10 years but Davis Road is up 142 students primarily due to French Immersion enrolment.
Jen Davidson has daughter Lily Forsyth in Grade 1 at Davis Road and echoed Lane’s thought and does not want to see the south end of town lose it’s elementary school either.
“I won’t be moving to North Oyster. My daughter would go to Davis Road regardless of French Immersion. I’ll put her to the overcrowded Ladysmith Primary in order to keep the community together.”
Blain insisted there is room at LPS, but “it’s tight.”
One North Oyster mom named Nadine, who has two children there, sympathized with the Davis Road parents.
“We at North Oyster have an incredible amount of empathy and sadness for the parents at Davis Road [with the prospect of closure]. We are all in the same fight. We have pride within our school and our PAC raises a lot of money. We’re proud of our building. The decision to close Davis Road did not come from us.”
Jenna Forster has one child at LPS and one at LIS.
“Option A is less disruptive. Option B sees more students moving. French Immersion moving to North Oyster does keep the community together.”
Davis Road PAC member Carrie Segreto wasn’t convinced.
“There are assumptions being made here that French Immersion can just pick up and move to North Oyster. But the French Immersion program is succeeding at Davis Road because it’s in Ladysmith, where there are 800 elementary-school-aged children, as opposed to 300 in the North Oyster area.
“Three years ago, in 2010, there was talk about possibly moving the French Immersion program from Davis Road to North Oyster. The EDR PAC at the time conducted a survey asking families what they would do if the move went ahead. Only 14% said that they would support a move of French Immersion to North Oyster. 86% said that they would switch to English track at EDR or move to a different school or district. Some people refer to Davis Road as a destination school with its French Immersion program. That’s totally not the case. Approximately 85% of the student population at Davis Road are from Ladysmith,” said Segreto who was one of many wearing a “I love Ecole Davis Road” t-shirt.
Tara Hawes is also on the Davis Road PAC.
“The culture and performance at Davis Road is second to none,” she said. “I believe the cart has been put before the horse.”
Smith also raised concerns about the “negative effects” sending Grade 7’s to high school would have and said there is “no evidence” that would work in a positive way. Hutchinson disagrees.
“It would bring new programs and extra staff to LSS. It would bring innovative instruction and the older students can be role models for the younger students,” said the superintendent.
Ken Harper has two kids at LPS.
“Change is hard in every respect. I would choose Option A. If Option B is followed, there would be over capacity.”
Ladysmith Working Group is set to review the feedback and submit a final report to the Board of Education by Dec. 9.
The report will be discussed at a board meeting starting at 6 p.m. on December 18 that is open to the public.
The board will either decide to proceed with the original plan and close North Oyster, accept Option A and close Davis Road next June, close both of the those schools, choose Option B which will see Ladysmith Intermediate closing and trigger a further 60-day consultation process, decide on alternations, or take no action at all.
Ladysmith Working Group stated in a handout at the presentation that “taking no action is not an option. At least one elementary school in the Ladysmith area will need to be closed and no one option can meet all of the criteria.”

Looking for a stock tip? For many people that advice is asclose as your next door neighbor or the woman on the next treadmill.
Research conducted by Scott Weisbenner, associate professor of finance and Julian Simon Memorial Faculty Fellow, indicates that, when it comes to making choices in your portfolio, word of mouth plays a big role. “In communities where word of mouth is strong for selection of brands, word-of-mouth communications is typically strong across the board, including for investment decisions,” says Weisbenner.
And his data backs that up. The study used a database of stock portfolio information for 35,000 clients of a large discount brokerage firm from 1991 through 1996. The clients remained anonymous; however, zipcode information was provided, which allowed the researchers to evaluate whether investors were more likely to choose a stock that was also favored by their neighbors.
The neighborly preference is particularly true for local stocks, with people investing up to one-third of their portfolio in nearby firms. “This local bias can be due to three factors,” says Weisbenner. “Simple familiarity with the firm, access to locally available information, and word-of-mouth communication with neighbors. You can get information on local companies through your neighbors who work there or are otherwise connected.”

Women from indigenous communities in Mexico use midwifery knowledge as a tool not only during pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, but also for abortion
Oaxaca de Juárez.- For decades, women from indigenous communities in Mexico, especially in areas where access to health is limited, have made use of midwifery knowledge as a tool not only during pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium but also for abortion.
The Federal Ministry of Health (Ssa) states that midwifery is a community health agent that uses traditional indigenous medicine and is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO). Aware of this, feminist groups and organizations that work in favor of the recognition of women’s sexual and reproductive rights, recognize midwifery as a tool to exercise the right to decide about their bodies.
Marie Stopes, a foundation that was established in Chiapas in 1999, after the Zapatista uprising, made visible the deficiencies in access to health in that state. The organization provides sexual and reproductive health services to the population, migrants, and people in transit.
After the decriminalization of abortion in 2008 in Mexico City, the foundation opened seven clinics strategically located to guarantee the right of women to decide, without having to travel for hours to hospitals with this service.
In Oaxaca, the foundation has been present for a year and a half, when it opened a clinic for access to safe abortion. In addition, it promotes a sexual education program for everyone, with the purpose of influencing youth, regarding issues such as pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections and safe abortion.
As part of these programs is that of midwives, through which it seeks to disseminate information on sexual and reproductive health, accompaniment is provided to midwives and health promoters, who share information in mother tongues and in indigenous communities, to the women who inhabit them.
In this regard, the coordinator of the Marie Stopes Midwives program, Bárbara Pérez Roldán, specifies that midwives can provide useful information on the options to access the termination of pregnancy.
In some communities, midwives also often recommend certain teas and herbs, through which it is possible to interrupt a pregnancy, adds Pérez Roldán.
The state of Oaxaca is one of those with the highest number of midwives, according to the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS); however, there is no up-to-date record of them. Until 2019, there were 750 midwives linked to the IMSS Bienestar in the entity; this without counting those who work independently and those who do not have certification.
Only in the region of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec there was a census of 507 midwives, just two years ago.
These figures could indicate a growing number of people with the necessary knowledge to follow the decision of women regarding their body, whether to have children or to terminate a pregnancy.
“The right and the power to decide belongs to women, but what better way than to do it together. The decision is not easy (…) Many women experience their abortion alone, but it is important to learn to accompany them, ”says Bárbara Pérez.
Recently, the Marie Stopes Foundation held meetings with midwives from the Coastal and Mixe regions, who accompany women from the decision to terminate their pregnancies, until the weeks after the abortion, when they still require surveillance.
The midwives who have attended meetings with Marie Stopes have the necessary information to recommend medications endorsed by the WHO to interrupt pregnancies and take into account the technical guideline for the care of safe abortion in Mexico, released in June by the National Commission to Prevent and Eradicate Violence Against Women (Conavim).
Although abortion up to the 12th week of gestation was decriminalized since September 25, 2019, in the entity, very few women have real access to this right. According to the Oaxaca Health Services (SSO), only 49 women have agreed to legal abortion since its approval to date.
Marie Stopes believes that there is a huge underreporting of women who are not part of the official figures.
“Women abort without going to clinics, they do it at home with midwives, with medications; It is difficult to speak of figures due to the under-registration ”, he points out.
Likewise, Marie Stopes has a subsidy program that finances the right to decide of women who cannot pay for medical follow-up, while in the event of rape and unwanted adolescent pregnancy, the financing is granted 100%.
The Rosario Castellanos Group of Studies on Women (GES Mujer) states that miscarriages are the third leading cause of maternal death in Oaxaca. This cause is the fourth nationwide, however, in the state the figure is accentuated by the shortcomings faced by women, especially in the communities.
The organization adds that, if abortion could be decriminalized, it is thanks to the efforts of the groups that fought for that right.
The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) ruled on September 7 that it is unconstitutional for Mexican women to be imprisoned for deciding on their bodies.
“We are not going to be criminalized for having an abortion. It is a legal resource that can be protected where it is not legal, ”adds GES Mujer.

Inside Edition Exclusive: Former Nanny of Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde Speaks Out in First TV Interview
The nanny claims Sudeikis discovered Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles were having affair after “reading all of [Wilde’s] messages" on her Apple Watch.
The former nanny of Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde is speaking exclusively to Inside Edition reporter Victoria Recaño about the alleged affair between Wilde and Harry Styles that sparked explosive headlines earlier this month.
The nanny, who asked not to be shown on camera, worked for the celebrity couple for three years before she says everything fell apart.
“I would run errands, prepare dinner, make sure I have everything going on for the kids, read books. They praised me constantly,” the nanny tells Inside Edition.
But life imploded after the nanny says Sudeikis found out Wilde was having an affair with Styles, pop singer and the star of Wilde’s new movie, “Don’t Worry Darling.”
“I walked upstairs and Jason was balling his heart out. He was just crying really hard and saying, ‘She left us. I’m going to try. I’m going to do everything to win her back,’” the nanny said.
The nanny claims Sudeikis discovered the affair after “reading all of [Wilde’s] messages." She claims Sudeikis had taken Wilde’s Apple Watch and told the nanny about a private text exchange between Wilde and a friend.
“She said, ‘I kissed Harry at the dinner in Palm Springs. I kissed him. I put the first move on him, and I'm so nervous, because he hasn't said anything.’ At this point, Jason said, ‘You know what — she is just acting so desperate, throwing herself at Harry,’” the nanny said.
And when Sudeikis saw Wilde making that infamous special salad dressing for Styles, the nanny says he lost it.
“He's walking around with a bat. He had a bat, and he's like, pulling on his hair. He was yelling, ‘She took her special salad dressing and she left.’ He ran after her and he laid down behind her car so she wouldn't drive off,” the nanny said.
Then, the nanny says, Sudeikis turned his wrath on her, allegedly threatening her not to tell Wilde that he had her Apple Watch.
“Jason told me, ‘If you say anything about this, this is all going to backfire in your face.' I literally was trembling, cause I thought that at this point, Jason is just so erratic and angry," the nanny said.
The nanny says she's going public to stand up for the rights of all nannies, because they shouldn't be treated that way.
She says Sudeikis apologized in a text that said, “I am so sorry that I scared you, and made you feel even the tiniest bit concerned.”
She says the warring exes were living in completely different worlds.
“He's grieving. She's happy as can be, you know, she's glad to be gone,” the nanny said. “She’s in love with someone else. She’s feeling this infatuation.”
About a month later, the nanny moved to London with Sudeikis and the kids as he filmed the second season of “Ted Lasso." But as soon as they arrived, the nanny says it got weird and very scary.
Sudeikis and Wilde have previously said the nanny's allegations are not true.
Tune in tomorrow for the second part of the nanny’s exclusive interview with Inside Edition.

Sirens sounded in the south and center of Israel, Friday, when Palestinian factions in Gaza responded to Israeli air strikes that killed at least 10 people, including a prominent commander in Islamic Jihad movement.
As darkness fell, Israeli authorities said that sirens sounded in areas in the south and center, while images broadcast by Israeli television stations showed what appeared to be missiles shot down by air defense systems.
In Tel Aviv, the economic center of the occupying entity, witnesses said they heard explosions, but there were no reports of sirens going off.
The Islamic Jihad movement said that it fired more than 100 rockets, Friday, at Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, and the Israeli ambulance service said that there were no reports of injuries.
Earlier, Gaza health officials said that at least ten people were killed in the strikes, including a five-year-old girl and 55 wounded.
The strikes came after tensions escalated in the past few days following the arrest of a prominent Palestinian leader during the week.
An Israeli military spokesman said that the strikes resulted in the death of Islamic Jihad leader Taysir al Jabari and about 15 civilians, but he made it clear that the army did not have a final total.
“Israel carried out a specific anti-terror operation in the face of an immediate threat,” Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said in a televised statement, vowing to do “anything to defend our people”.
“Our fight is not with the people of Gaza, Islamic Jihad is an agent of Iran, who wants to destroy the State of Israel and kill innocent Israelis”.
An Islamic Jihad official confirmed the martyrdom of a prominent leader, Tayseer al Jabari, who was described by the Israeli army as the main coordinator between Islamic Jihad and Hamas, in the strikes that targeted several locations throughout the densely populated Strip.
Smoke rose from the building where al Jabari was killed, and glass and rubble were scattered in the street, amid the sound of ambulances roaring to other locations.
As mourners prepare to participate in the funerals of those killed in the Israeli strikes, hundreds, some of them raising the Palestinian flag, participated in rallies in the streets of Gaza.
The strikes came after Israel arrested Bassam al Saadi, a prominent leader of the Islamic Jihad movement, during a raid in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin earlier this week.
After that, Israel closed all crossings of the Gaza Strip and some neighboring roads for fear of retaliatory attacks from the Islamic Jihad movement, which further limited the Islamic Jihad movement of Palestinians.
The Israeli military said Defense Minister Benny Gantz had approved plans to call up 25,000 reservists in the wake of the strikes, a sign that Israel expects an extended confrontation.
In an interview with the Lebanese al Mayadeen TV channel, Ziad al Nakhala, the Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, vowed to retaliate for the strikes.
“There are no red lines for this battle,” he said.
Tel Aviv will be one of the targets that will be subject to the resistance’s missiles and all Israeli cities”.
The Izz al Din al Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, issued a statement condemning the Israeli strikes, saying, “The blood of our people and our mujahideen won’t be in vain”.
Islamic Jihad was founded in the 1980s and opposes political dialogue with Israel.
The Islamic Jihad movement is close to Iran, and although it is independent of Hamas, it cooperates closely with it.
The Israeli military spokesman said that the authorities expect missile attacks on central Israel, but added that the Iron Dome anti-missile batteries are ready.
He said that special measures were imposed in Israeli areas of an area of 80 km around the Gaza Strip.
He noted that plans to allow fuel trucks into Gaza to keep the area’s only power plant operating were canceled at the last minute as intelligence picked up information on movements indicating imminent attacks on Israeli targets.
It is expected that the fuel shortage will lead to more power cuts in the Gaza Strip.
Residents of the Gaza Strip receive only ten hours of electricity per day.
This will have a greater impact on the economy of the region, which is dependent on foreign aid and still faces difficulties in recovering from the effects of previous wars.
The Gaza Strip has been a constant point of conflict since it came under the administration of the Islamic Resistance (Hamas) in 2007.
The narrow strip is home to 2.3 million people, covering an area of about 365 square kilometers.
Since then, the Gaza Strip has been subject to a blockade, as the Israeli and Egyptian authorities severely restrict movement to and from the Strip.
Friday’s attack came as Egyptian officials were making efforts to mediate between Israel and Hamas, and a statement from Islamic Jihad said the strikes appeared aimed at undermining those efforts.
An Egyptian security source told AFP that Cairo’s mediation efforts have been ongoing since Friday”.
We hope to reach a consensus, in order to restore calm as soon as possible,” he added.
The IDF spokesman, Richard Hecht, had previously referred to the Egyptian mediation when he was talking to journalists about the current developments, but he didn’t go into details.
For his part, an Egyptian source said that a delegation from the “Islamic Jihad” may go to Cairo on Saturday.
In turn, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who resides in Doha, spoke with the Egyptian intelligence leadership about the current developments, according to a Hamas statement.
Egypt is a mediator between Israel and Gaza’s armed groups, and mediation in May led to a ceasefire that ended the fiercest fighting in years between the Jewish state and the Islamist movement Hamas, which controls Gaza.
On Friday, Qatar expressed its “strong condemnation and denunciation of the new Israeli aggression” against the Gaza Strip.
The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed, in a statement, reported by Qatar News Agency (QNA), “the need for the international community to move urgently to stop the repeated attacks by the occupation against civilians, especially women and children”.
In a statement today, the Qatari Foreign Ministry reiterated Qatar’s firm position on the justice of the Palestinian cause, the legitimate rights of the brotherly Palestinian people, and the establishment of their independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Israel has fought five conflicts with the Strip since 2009, the most recent of which was an 11-day war in May 2021, during which Hamas fired thousands of rockets towards Israel, killing 13 settlers, and Israel targeted the Strip with air strikes that killed at least 250 Palestinians.
The Israeli media also referred to the “opening of shelters in the central and southern regions,” and “changing the planes’ lanes at Ben Gurion Airport, in anticipation of rocket fire from the Gaza Strip,” noting that “a number of settlers from the Gaza envelope are leaving the area for fear of rocket fire”.
The joint room of the military wings in Gaza had said that “the Israeli aggression will not go unnoticed, and the response of the resistance is coming and, in the manner, determined by the resistance leadership”.

After a monthslong competition, Texas has lost out on Tesla Motors' $5 billion lithium-ion battery plant, according to a news report.
Citing unidentified sources inside the Nevada governor’s office, CNBC reported Wednesday afternoon that the upscale electric carmaker had chosen the Silver State for its “gigafactory,” expected to be built by 2017.
Tesla would not confirm that it had chosen Nevada, but said it would hold a news conference Thursday afternoon in Carson City.
“We continue to work with the state of Nevada, and we look forward to joining the Governor and legislative leaders tomorrow in Carson City,” Alexis Georgeson, a Tesla spokeswoman, told the Tribune.
In late February, the company announced that Texas was one of four states — along with Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico — in the running to house the wind- and solar-powered plant, which Tesla says would span as many as 1,000 acres and employ about 6,500 people.
Elon Musk, the company’s CEO, has suggested that the winning state would shoulder about 10 percent of the project’s cost – amounting to a $500 million investment.
The announcement excited Texas lawmakers like state Rep. Jason Villalba, R-Dallas, who had penned a letter to Musk, listing Texas’ business-friendly ways, including a lack of corporate or personal income taxes and “low regulations and limited government interference.”
Despite the state’s advantages, the company had indicated that Texas’ long-standing state laws protecting auto dealerships – a challenge to Tesla’s business model – did not help the state’s case. Texas laws prevent car manufacturers from selling directly to Texas consumers, as Tesla does. Texas requires manufacturers to sell their cars through tightly regulated franchised dealers. A few other states restrict Tesla sales through franchise laws, but Nevada is not one of them.
An unidentified source in the Nevada governor’s office told CNBC that the project was “a go,” but that the state was still negotiating contract specifics.
Lucy Nashed, a spokeswoman for Gov. Rick Perry, referred requests for comment to Tesla.
Even without the Tesla plant, Musk still has a footprint in Texas. Last month his company SpaceX announced it would build a commercial launch complex on Boca Chica beach near Brownsville. The state has offered $15.3 million for the project.

CHELTENHAM TOWNSHIP, Pa. (CBS) – A suspect is behind bars and is expected to be charged in the hit and run death of a woman in Cheltenham late last week.
The victim, 53-year-old Michelle Powell, was struck and killed last Thursday as she crossed Cheltenham Avenue between Mt. Airy Avenue and Easton Road.
Police have not released the identity of the suspect, but they say he was behind the wheel of the car that fatally struck Powell and fled the scene.
The suspect, a Philadelphia man, has not been officially charged with the hit and run death, but police expect to file charges in the coming days.
Powell had just left work at Walmart at the Cederbrook Shopping Center where she worked as a manager. On Friday, friends and coworkers set up a roadside memorial where she lost her life.
Powell was married and leaves behind two grown children.
Reported by Steve Beck, CBS 3

According to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, on a weekly basis, an estimated 2.5 million passengers travel upon New York City’s more than 5,700 buses. With some 15,000 bus stops throughout the city’s five boroughs, there’s no doubt that buses are an integral part of the city’s transportation system.
Despite their utility in moving millions of people throughout the city, buses also pose serious safety threats to pedestrians and bicyclists. As the city continues to progress in its plans to eliminate traffic deaths via the Vision Zero Action Plan, concerns about bus safety have come to light.
Combined; commercial vehicles, taxi cabs and buses account for approximately 20 percent of fatal pedestrian accidents in the city. From the vantage of a bus driver, pedestrians and bicyclists are often difficult to see. This is often especially true in cases where a bus driver is turning right and fails to see a pedestrian in a crosswalk or a bicyclist in the far right traffic or bike lane.
The injuries and deaths of several pedestrians by buses prompted city lawmakers to pass legislation making it “a criminal misdemeanor to kill or injure a pedestrian or cyclist who has the right of way.” However, under mounting pressure by the bus drivers union, state lawmakers took action to provide exemptions in most cases.
More recently, the city announced it is starting a 60-day pilot program aimed to prevent buses from colliding with pedestrians and other motor vehicles. Using warning speakers and a system of sensors, buses will alert pedestrians of an approaching turn and provide bus drivers with alerts when other vehicles are present.

I wasn't expecting anything too serious and intense from the trailers mostly advertising it as being about a ballerina's struggle to becoming a successful dancer. But it then became more of a thriller with the entire audience gasping in shock and sometimes even from disturbing sights such as Nina- the main character played by Natalie Portman. Having to pull out a black feather form her back that is scarred with an odd rash.
In my opinion, this is what I thought the film was about, but it is one of those films (such as INCEPTION) that leaves gaps for the audience to fill in with their own choice of how they would like it to end.
What happened in the film is that Nina is picked as the Swan Queen, which is the biggest part she could get. But this specific dancer must be able to play two characters that are absolutely opposite, the white swan which is sweet and innocent and gentle and then the black swan, that is evil, passionate and seductive. Yet Nina can only seem to perfect the white swan act, and then fail to show what the director wants to see in the black swan character. And when the director tries to show her what passion hes talking about, nina takes it too seriously and seems to allow this passion to take over her mind. Throughout the film, she seems to become more and more obsessed with the perfection of the black swan and through that she begins to hallucinate, to the point when she doesn't even know whats real or not. And yet as the audience, we
don't know that they are hallucinations and that all of the gory scenes and swan transformation scenes were all in her mind until right at the end.
Over all, I really enjoyed watching this film even though it made my skin crawl, made me cringe, made me laugh and made me cry, Natalie Portman definitely deserved that golden globe award for this part.
(Below is both my favourite scene and the trailer)

Coyotes acquire goalie Scott Wedgewood from Devils
The Coyotes added another goaltending option by acquiring a player from their opponent Saturday.
Hours before the Coyotes faced the Devils in New Jersey as their five-game, East Coast road trip continued, the team traded for goalie Scott Wedgewood in a deal that sent a fifth-round pick in 2018 to the Devils.
Wedgewood is 1-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average and .973 save percentage in the minors this season. He's 51-36-9 with a 2.35 goals-against average and .908 save percentage in 110 games in the American Hockey League.
In four career games with the Devils, the 25-year-old is 2-1-1 with a 1.25 goals-against average and .957 save percentage. Wedgewood was drafted by the Devils in the third round, 84th overall, in 2010.
Arizona also assigned goalie Adin Hill to the AHL after a three-game stint in which he made his NHL debut and went 0-3 with a 3.75 goals-against average and .880 save percentage.
Goaltending has been an early-season issue for the Coyotes during their winless start to the season. They had a league-worst .863 save percentage and 4.40 goals-against per game average entering Saturday's game.
Antti Raanta, whom the Coyotes acquired during the offseason to be their No.1, has been sidelined since suffering a lower-body injury Oct.12. Hill and Louis Domingue had been splitting duties during Raanta's absence, and Domingue is scheduled to start Saturday.
As for the fifth-round pick that the Devils received, it originally belonged to the Flames as the Coyotes acquired the conditional pick once defenseman Michael Stone, whom Arizona traded to Calgary last season, re-signed with the Flames before the season.

First shipment of organic lemons arrives in the European Union after a 20-year absence
Argentina has carried out its first shipment of organic citrus to the European Union for 20 years after the reopening of the market last May. The 60.5-tonne consignment of organic lemons, certified by plant health service Senasa, departed from the port of Buenos Aires and arrived in Europe this month.
Welcoming the reopening of such an important market after two decades, Agriculture Secretary Juan José Bahillo said: “We have to continue boosting exports, because they are a source of foreign currency, employment and roots for the entire country”.
Bahillo continued: “Organic production must meet the conditions set out under current regulations: it must be sustainable from an environmental point of view, preserve the health of the soil, air and water, not use chemical inputs and carry out agronomic practices such as soil rotation, use of waste from the farm itself etc”.
Argentina currently has 3,342ha of organic citrus production. Between 2001 and 2003, Senasa certified 2,500 tonnes of fresh organic citrus – mainly oranges and lemons – for shipment to the EU.

I was shocked to read in the March 2, 2023, edition of The Berlin Sun that the Coos County Commissioners tried to remove Paul Grenier from the AVRRDD governing board without notice and a public hearing. As a resident and voter in Coos County, I am deeply troubled by this blatant disregard for the principles of due process and fair governance.
It was noted in the article that Mr. Grenier has served on the board for 19 years and was chosen vice president by the board. I find it appalling that Mr. Grenier's years of service to the residents of Coos County were cast aside just because the commissioners wanted to follow their own wishes without respecting bylaws. Mr. Grenier has earned the courtesy of proper notice, and the residents of Coos County have the right to speak in support of Mr. Grenier's continued service on the AVRRDD board at an adequately posted public hearing. Due process was denied for Mr. Grenier, and due process was denied for the residents of Coos County. Shameful.
In addition to the commission's blatant disregard of their bylaws, commissioner Robert Theberge went out of his way to stick the knife in deeper by demanding that Mr. Grenier not be reimbursed for travel to the commissioner meetings and stating further that Mr. Grenier will be removed from the AVRRDD board if he doesn't make a monthly report to the commission about activities at the solid waste district. A cordial letter to Mr. Grenier stating that he would be invited to attend Commission meetings is all that was needed. I have no reason to believe that Mr. Grenier would turn down that invitation.
Mr. Theberge wanted to appoint himself to the AVRRDD board. He thought he could do so quietly and bring the other commissioners along, hoping the rest of us wouldn't notice. This is disrespectful and unprofessional conduct from an elected official. If anyone needs a letter on how to carry out their duties as an elected official, it's Mr. Theberge.
It's important that the community has faith in its elected officials and the decisions they make, and the recent actions of the commissioners have eroded that trust. The people of Coos County deserve better.

12 regions win federal 'Manufacturing Communities' competition
Send this story to a friend
The Department of Commerce has selected 12 “manufacturing communities” that will receive a total of $1.3 billion in federal funds to help them with their economic development plans.
The winners were chosen from 70 communities that applied for the first round of funding through the Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership. Another round of competition will launch later this year.
Here’s a list of this round’s winners:
- Southwest Alabama led by the University of South Alabama
- Southern California led by the University of Southern California Center for Economic Development
- Northwest Georgia led by the Northwest Georgia Regional Commission
- The Chicago metro region led by the Cook County Bureau of Economic Development
- South Kansas led by Wichita State University
- Greater Portland region in Maine led by the Greater Portland Council of Governments
- Southeastern Michigan led by the Wayne County Economic Development Growth Engine
- The New York Finger Lakes region led by the City of Rochester
- Southwestern Ohio Aerospace Region led by the City of Cincinnati
- The Tennessee Valley led by the University of Tennessee
- The Washington Puget Sound region led by the Puget Sound Regional Council
- The Milwaukee 7 Region led by the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee
Besides federal funding, the winners will benefit from being branded as a Manufacturing Community, which should help attract additional private investment.
The plans of each community reflect the program’s strategy of building on a community’s existing strength in manufacturing.
Here are some examples:
- Northwest Georgia, which produces 70 percent of the carpet made in the U.S., hopes to create a more sustainable floor covering industry by applying innovations developed through university research.
- South Kansas, which is an aerospace manufacturing hub, will focus on advanced materials used in airplanes, machinery and refineries.
- Milwaukee, which is strong in precision machining, will try to attract new jobs in energy, water technologies, and food and beverage manufacturing.

Joe Biden is appointing another radical Left-wing Democrat to his cabinet. Mehrsa Baradaran has been an outspoken BLM supporter for years. She’s calling on the Biden-Harris administration to pay African Americans reparations for slavery. At what point do we draw the line?
Reparations advocate in the White House
Joe Biden ran one of the worst campaigns in recent history. He flip flopped on major issues such as supporting the Green New Deal and putting an end to fracking. He also dodged questions about important topics such as packing the Supreme Court and defunding the police.
His strategy seemed to be, hide in the basement all year, blame the weak turnouts to his rallies on the China Virus, and trash President Trump every chance he gets. Yet somehow Sleepy Joe got almost 80 million votes, the highest number of any presidential candidate in American history. That’s 10 million more votes than Barack Obama received in 2008. Many Americans are skeptical.
Another hot-button issue the Biden-Harris ticket successfully dodged was whether or not they support reparations for Black Americans. Some voices on the far-Left believe the Federal Government owes Black Americans reparations to repay them for the sin of slavery.
Even though slavery was outlawed in 1865 and no slaves or slave owners are alive today. Plus there was that bloody and costly war in the 1860s. Most Americans think we should put that mess behind us now that it’s 2020. But not the radical Left.
Joe Biden is appointing Mehrsa Baradaran for his Treasury transition. She’s a professor at the University of California (of course) and she’s an outspoken advocate of reparations for Black Americans. She thinks money is the only way of correcting White supremacy and closing the racial wealth gap. “Dear Kamala, Reparations or go home,” Baradaran wrote in June 2019. “Biden just dodged that reparations question like a much nimbler and younger man,” she said, referring to the Democratic primary debate. Baradaran is so passionate about the subject that she wrote a book about it. In one excerpt she writes, “A reparations program could take many forms from simple cash payments or baby bonds to more complex schemes such as subsidized college tuition, basic income, housing vouchers, or subsidized mortgage credit.”
Biden and Kamala dodged questions about reparations through the 2020 cycle. Baradaran took note of their refusal, "Dear Kamala, Reparations or go home," she wrote in June '19: https://t.co/Ts5lNHzcmH

Democrats still pandering
The idea raises a bunch of questions. First one being, where’s the money going to come from? Are all tax payers on the hook for this massive redistribution of wealth?
Will this be an additional tax on top of the Green New Deal tax and the socialized medicine and all the other progressive projects they have in mind?
How does the Government decide who is entitled to a check and how much? BET network founder Robert Johnson thinks Blacks should receive $14 trillion in reparations. “Now is the time to go big, to keep America from dividing into two separate and unequal societies,” he said in an interview. Unequal? Right. Because there are no poor Whites in America. These people are out of their minds
. It is worth pointing out that Robert Johnson is a successful Black American with a net worth of approximately $600 million. The fact is, systemic racism no longer exists in America and there is no such thing as White privilege. We all have equal rights.
We all have the same opportunities in employment and education. If someone studies, works hard and stays out of trouble, they can be anything they want to be. The American dream is alive and well.


East Hampton High School junior Emma Shilowich, 16, daughter of Richard Shilowich and Dr. Terri Rauch of McGuirk Street, attended the inauguration last Tuesday, January 13, of President Obama. She was a member of the Presidential Youth Inaugural Conference and heard Gen. Colin Powell, Desmond Tutu, Al Gore, Doris Kearns goodwin, and Eric Weihenmayer speak at conferences she attended. She also attended an inaugural ball.
Acrylic paintings and richly textured collages created by renowned East Hampton artist Helen Hoie now grace the halls of Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead, thanks to a donation of her work from the Helen and Claus Hoie Charitable Foundation.
Rescue squad officers
The East Hampton Volunteer Ocean Rescue Squad had its annual elections this past month at the Montauk Playhouse. The squad consists of 36 men and women geared to answer 911 water emergency calls throughout the year, Steve Bierley reported this week.
The new officers are Steve Brierley, captain; Rich Kalbacher, assistant captain; John Ryan Jr., treasurer; Robin Streck, secretary; Squad 1 Leader, Jim Arnold; Squad 2 Leader, Vanessa Edwardes; Squad 3 Leader, Brian Cunningham; and Squad 4 Leader, Jeff Thompson. Steve extended special thanks to Tim Treadwell for his service as captain for the last two years.
Gift from Hoie estate
The gift of six paintings and 36 collages, which have a combined value of $225,000, coincides with the pending completion of the medical center’s three-phase, $50-million expansion and modernization project.
“With the expansion promising to elevate the medical center to a state-of-the-art facility, we hope the artwork will provide an increased humanistic aura to the surroundings,” said Judith Sneddon of East Hampton, the executrix of the Hoie estate. “The addition of this artwork will contribute to the pleasing aesthetics and ambiance of the patient rooms and public spaces. There’s no need for a health care facility to carry an institutional look.”
Following that philosophy, the design of the hospital’s new emergency center has incorporated French doors on the individual patient rooms, as well as wood-like laminate floors and wainscoting. The medical center’s walls feature several landscapes by acclaimed photographer Jake Raj of Orient.
“We are extremely grateful to the Hoie Foundation for its most generous gift to the Peconic Bay Medical Center and proud to have the works of such a celebrated artist hanging throughout our facility,” said Peconic Bay President and CEO Andrew Mitchell.
Helen Hoie and her husband, Claus, also an artist who worked in watercolors, lived for many years in East Hampton. Helen Hoie died in 2000 and her husband died in 2007.
After graduating from Carnegie Mellon University’s Art Institute, Ms. Hoie began her professional career as a fashion designer. She drew upon her extensive knowledge of fabric, its texture and subtleties of shading and color, when she followed her creative drive to the fine arts, particularly collage. Evolving as an artist, she reinterpreted her collages in larger format acrylic paintings. That genre dominated her work throughout her career.
Ms. Hoie’s work has been shown in many galleries and was featured in major retrospectives at the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton and at the Guild Hall Museum in East Hampton. Her paintings and collages are featured in collections across the country, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., and Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania.
It is the end of January already, and East Hampton is still in its hibernating mode, but I do have a few cultural events to mention.
Tonight, Wednesday, January 28, and tomorrow night, there will be performances of the middle school’s musical, “School House Rock.” Show time is at 7 p.m. both nights and the performance will be in the auditorium at the middle school.
This Saturday, Guild Hall will open its doors to the Student Art Festival, an annual event that exhibits the artwork and talent of local students. Currently, more than 2,300 students from participating public and private schools, including the Amagansett, East Hampton, Montauk, Wainscott, and Sag Harbor districts are invited to participate through their art classes and art teachers.
The exhibitions will feature a variety of media, including painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, mobiles, and mixed media. Between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, art from grades kindergarten through the eighth will be on display for the opening reception. The high school students’ exhibit will follow and will remain up until March 1. The opening reception is free and open to the public.
The Student Film Project, now in its sixth year, is being held in conjunction with the Student Art Festival. For the first time, the video/film competition features three age groups: elementary grades 2-4, with 10-minute films; middle school grades 5-8, with 15-minute films; and high school grades 9-12, featuring 20-minute films. Judges are still to be named, but will represent leaders in the film and television community on the East End. The project is sponsored by the Bridgehampton National Bank and the Lewis B. Cullman Education Program, in memory of Joseph F. Cullman III.
At Guild Hall on February 3, the Naked Stage Reading of “The Illusion” by Pierre Corneille, adapted by Tony Kushner, will be performed. The reading begins at 7:30 p.m. and will be held in the Boots Lamb Center.
For more information about Guild Hall activities, you can visit its website at www.guildhall.org.

wn, suggested by the Morse brothers, whose new home adjoined it, found most favor.
Myrtle could not be duplicated, and E. W. Metcalf, an abutter and petitioner, suggested Jerome, in honor of Jerome Bonaparte Judkins, one of the land developers of 1870.
He was the grandfather of the young soldier, Medford's first loss in the present war. Mr. Judkins gave the names of Temple and Tontine, Lincoln and Sherman to those streets.
Holton street was laid out by Samuel S. Holton, Sr., to subdivide someis name.
As old Ship street had become Riverside avenue, a new name had to be found for the western one, which on acceptance became Arlington street. It is a long street, reaching nearly to Arlington line.
In a subdivision of the older plan in 1870 two new streets were called Linden and Hawthorn, both grafted into Myrtle.
As the latter was uprooted or transplanted as Jerome, so Linden got the name of a worthy resident, Fairfield.
Only Hawthorn remains, and that only on paper.
, while Lake was appropriate, as a miniature lake or pond was shown therein.
Conditions favored the same, as the writer has seen the springy ground there covered with flags and cat-tails.
In Plan Book 8, Plan 1, 1855, is the same territory (see Register, Vol.
I, p. 126), being the Fuller plan of Smith estate.
Here we must good naturedly differ a little with His Honor, who styles it the present laying out.
Fuller's plan was made in early '50s, but little or no use was made of it until 1870, when, on June 21, there was a land sale on the premises.
In 1865 the conduit of the Charlestown water works was built across this entire tract.
The Fuller plan (which omitted the parks and had a somewhat different arrangement of streets) was modified somewhat.
Two new plans were later made by Josiah Hovey covering the entire river border, or half the area of Brooklands, which name had been forgotten.
Then the county commissioners came and laid out Boston avenue, as they had previously do
and later organized churches of various orders in Medford, it is of interest that its brief history be preserved.
In 1865 Medford had a population of 4,839; in 1870, 5,717; it is safe to assume that in December, 1867, a little rising 5,000.
Its outlying villages were East Medford (now called Glenwood) and West Medford, the lasant with facts and writes from personal knowledge.
He has already (some years since) given in our pages an account of that occasion in a paper on West Medford in 1870.
The Union was a neighborhood affair which was expected in time to grow into a Protestant church of some order, or possibly a Union church, hence the appropriate bath gatherings made a good showing (for the capacity of the hall) and were a convenience for the older people and those not actively engaged in church work.
In 1870 some building operations commenced and new comers were in evidence.
A weekly paper in Medford began publication in December, and the following, clipped from its i

In Georgia, solar advocates and conservative activists have been successfully garnering support for solar by promoting it as part of property rights. A big focus of the effort has been passing laws that let Georgia residents lease solar panels, which wasn’t allowed under a 1970 law. “Are New York bondholders more important than Georgia ratepayers? This is about free market. This is about property rights. It is about technology and innovation.”

An aerial photo taken on Jan. 30, 2019 shows a crane at Lamu Port, Kenya. (Xinhua/Wang Teng)
The Chinese-built Lamu port in Kenya, the second commercial seaport for the country, is expected to be launched in November.
MOMBASA, Sept. 20 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese-built port in Kenya's Lamu is expected to be launched in November, an official said on Friday.
Daniel Manduku, managing director of Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) told journalists in Mombasa that China Communications Construction Company has so far completed the first berth.
"We will commission the Lamu port which will be the second commercial seaport for Kenya in November," Manduku said.
He said that the construction of the second and third berths will be completed in 2020.
"The port will initially target transshipment cargo that is destined for smaller ports in the eastern African region," said Manduku. KPA hopes to attract cargo that is destined for Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam, the port of Beira in Mozambique, as well as those in Mauritius and Somalia.
Manduku said the seaport will offer attractive port charges and infrastructure to lure imported cargo destined for the region.
He said that the supporting infrastructure to transport cargo from Lamu into the interior of Kenya by either road or rail is yet to be finalized.
According to KPA, the Lamu port will have the capacity to handle larger sea vessels as compared to the existing port of Mombasa due to its deep natural waters.
"With the new seaport, Kenya will be able to handle ships with a capacity of 8,000 twenty foot equivalent units (TEUs) compared to 6,000 TEUs currently, "said Manduku.
He said the first three berths of the seaport will be funded by the government, while additional berths will be undertaken by the private sector. ■

To be honest, the process of writing this page was hard. Tic Tac Toe is such a simple game that I thought I would be able to code it easily. Instead I found myself confused. If I gave each box on the game board an id, should I get the id upon every click and then compare with all the other pieces on the board? How do I set the “winning patterns” to check for? I overcomplicated things for myself and found writing Tic Tac Toe to be frustrating because while I thought it was a simple task, it took me more effort than anticipated.
Something like this can lead you to doubt your own abilities and I found a fixed mindset voice in my head saying “if you had any talent, this would be easy” and “you can’t even code such a simple thing?” Although I shipped production code for the very first time last Friday (hooray!), this small page caused doubt on my own progress. I just have to keep telling myself, “growth mindset!” If there’s something I don’t know, I can learn it. It’s ok if it takes me longer, because the next time it will be a little bit easier.

Iím in the (painful) process of converting my EU boat
to accept what is available in the US. This is mostly just the electricity (done w an isolation transformer) and now to use propane
instead of butane.
Iíve found a tank thatíll fit in the small space built for the purpose and a new regulator
as well but found out the connector of my US propane regulator
will not fit the boatís butane connector.
Ok, so I purchased the RGA-8548 ENO METRIC TO SAE ADAPTER which came in last week but that doesnít fit either as it seems to be just a smidgeon smaller than it needs to be to screw into the connector.
Has anyone successfully converted from butane to propane and how?
