Mayor Palmer to take seat on GCP Board to secure breakthrough in joined-up CAM working
Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough James Palmer has said he intends to take up a position as a non-voting member of Greater Cambridge Partnership’s (GCP) Executive Board, to help drive forward a joined-up ‘One CAM’ approach to delivering the Cambridgeshire Autonomous Metro (CAM).
Mayor Palmer has said a One CAM strategy, which brings together the component projects of the metro scheme in a unified programme, including the corridors like Cambourne to Cambridge (C2C) promoted by the GCP, is essential to CAM’s delivery.
Mayor Palmer made the request to sit on the GCP Board, which has been accepted, to try to secure a breakthrough in the joint working arrangements necessary to ensure an integrated approach to building the CAM network, of which the GCP corridors would form a small percentage. An independent report published by the Combined Authority this summer found that the GCP’s current proposals for C2C did not align with all the strategic objectives of the CAM and so could not be supported.
Mayor James Palmer said:
“As I have long said, CAM will not work if the network is broken down into different bits, delivered by different bodies, with no unifying working arrangement and strategy. We can only build the best possible case for CAM if we can account for the benefits of delivering a whole network. The tribulations and controversies of the GCP’s C2C scheme are a portent of what would be to come if we were to carry on down a fragmented path.
“We need to solve this with a single strategy and a unified working structure which incorporates the short GCP corridors into this comprehensive and transformative region-wide, world-class public transport network. My previous repeated attempts to encourage GCP work with us on this basis have not been reciprocated, but I am very encouraged by the approach of new GCP Executive Board chairman Cllr Roger Hickford to work collaboratively and so I intend to take up this non-voting position on the GCP Board.
“On Monday, Simon Clarke MP, then Minister for Regional Growth and Local Government, and Kemi Badenoch MP, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, wrote to Cllr Hickford, copying me in, to state that it was “essential” that the GCP worked in close collaboration with the Mayoral Combined Authority. This should focus minds.
“The reality is the short GCP routes are sticking plasters which do not allow us to shape future growth in a way that is truly economically and environmentally sustainable. By forming part of a regional network that will extend from St Neots to Haverhill and Alconbury to Mildenhall, via tunnels in Cambridge, these GCP routes will be vastly more than the sum of their parts. It is vital therefore that these elements promoted by the GCP are properly aligned and ‘CAM compliant’. I will look to work at a political level with the GCP to ensure this is the case.
“In the meantime we are pressing ahead with CAM’s development, including appointing the hugely experienced leader in infrastructure delivery, Simon Wright OBE, and establishing a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), where this month an outstanding candidate for its chair will be recommended for appointment. The establishment of the SPV, giving CAM the dedicated resource needed, and harnessing some of the brightest and best minds, represents the most exciting phase yet of the metro’s delivery.”

It is a sad day in American history. So many lives lost.
But I see hope in the scores of Americans who visibly oppose Roe v. Wade and work to make America pro-life.
Like the 12-year-old from Colorado we featured.
And the countless others we profile regularly in the pages of the Register and online here.
Many people are marching and participating in other pro-life events this weekend, including online, to show their support for life.
See our coverage here.
And stay tuned on Monday as we report from D.C.’s March for Life.

text: Chuncheon (South Korea): The South Korean star leading Tottenham Hotspur’s charge for a place in the Champions League final had a unique football upbringing. But that was only one component of his success, his brother said. Striker Son Heung-min, 26, has been instrumental in Spurs’ run to the semi-finals of Europe’s top club competition, scoring three times over two legs against Manchester City to reach the last four. But he was suspended for the first leg of the semi, a 1-0 home defeat to Ajax, and will be crucial to their efforts in the Netherlands on Wednesday, despite picking up a petulant Premier League red card at the weekend. Around 8,500 kilometres (5,300 miles) away, his elder brother and fellow striker Son Heung-yun — three years his senior — will be watching closely. For years, the two boys were trained by their father, Son Woong-jung, a former professional footballer who aimed to take his sons to the top with a strict and disciplined regimen. “Everything we did revolved around football,” said Heung-yun. “Our father told us we had to go to bed early to play football and that we had to eat well to play football. “He always said that life was short and we should do things we liked and when we did, we should pursue it to the point of going a little bit crazy about it.” Renowned for concentrating on ball skills and not allowing them to shoot or join a team — where they might be distracted by trying too hard to win games — their father laid a foundation for the rising Son. The brothers would exchange glances as they endured the tough daily sessions. Heung-yun remembers training one New Year’s Day on a snow-covered lot in bitter cold as a 13-year-old. Before he knew it, he covered his ears with his hands, only for his father — who was showing his sons how to dribble — to turn back and immediately berate him, as he often did when he felt they were not trying their best. “We were raised very tough,” said Heung-yun, who as a player only reached the fifth tier of German club competition but now coaches at the SON Football Academy.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA -�Media OutReach�- 9 September 2021 -�From the standpoint of technological adaptability, Millennials are among the groups which were able to adjust the most in a brief period of time�a time that is torn and accelerated anew by paradigm shifts all over the board. The older ones (born between 1980�1993) received insights from the preceding generations and accommodated to the best of their ability: lessons that remained from the preceding Gen X's beliefs and habits and what their Baby boomer parents taught. Organic intergenerational exchange is now juxtaposed with exponential technological progress. The reality is, Millennials suffered a clash because of this energetic ambiguity. As a result, they stumbled into a whole new era where everything they've been taught has been distorted and tested. A test that already shows many fruits and reasons to believe that Millennials readjusted swiftly.
The prior generations' values about work, savings, lifestyle, and investments have radically shifted to different priorities. They appreciate investing in new technologies, have other behavioural habits, preferences and expectations towards their future.
Many of them are under the justified impression that merely finishing a bachelor's degree is not enough to find a fulfilling job and the salary of their dreams, as maybe their parents did.�
Millennial traders are the most ambitious
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the future of the financial market is uncertain. One age group that seems to take advantage of this web of uncertainties, however, are millennials. Even though it might sound redundant, Millennials become more and more proficient in dealing with uncertainty at their best. A well-known characteristic of Millennials is their desire for aspirations to be fulfilled rapidly, no time wasted. Be it the morning news, dinner plans, or instant gratifications from their physical achievements in their jogging app�all rest comfortably at their disposal through a simple swipe or click on their smartphone.
We observe similar strives in today's fintech domain, evolving at par with this generation. For instance, the fact of digital and branchless banks challenging traditional bank structures.
Cryptocurrency�the most popular digital asset
As some also refer to Millennials, Generation Y has a reputation for embracing all things digital, especially cryptocurrencies. So when it comes to investments, most prefer doing things online or over an app rather than filling up lengthy paperwork. Cryptocurrencies emerged a little over a decade ago, with the first taking the spotlight in 2009: bitcoin. These novel assets became a diverse basket of tokens and coins, thriving from blockchain technology�a prospective and growing alternative to our current legacy financial system. It basically means that cryptocurrencies can be purchased, sold, exchanged, or stored by anyone, digitally, online with the aid of the blockchain. It is a unique database that has so far proved to be virtually incorruptible, with a natural affinity for decentralisation and self-responsibility. Many of these blockchain projects releasing new cryptocurrencies every year yielded unfathomable results and growth. (Not all of them on merits of their innovation, of course, but rather because they were hyped into oblivion by clever marketing.)
These attributes might display why cryptocurrency as an asset class fits perfectly into the Millennial lifestyle. For anyone still wondering why Millennials would invest in cryptocurrencies, here are some excellent reasons:
?����� High and quick returns (Millennials are considered one of the most ambitious generations, historically speaking. They seek investments that benefit them with high returns in a shorter duration. While there are not many assets that generate high returns quickly, cryptocurrency can be an exception.)
?����� A bonus to a decent retirement portfolio
Concerning the last point, it's even more severe. Unlike their parents (depending on the country they live in), most Millennials in Latin America, for instance, are a generation without access to a future pension assured by the state. Even those who hold good jobs now are not likely to receive a pension once retirement starts. This urge to take matters into one's own hands, making long-term investments, is driven by the possibility of reaching independence and financial freedom.
Cryptocurrency is highly volatile. The fact that sometimes its 30-day gains or losses can exceed 100% is a testament to that. Meaning, the risk and returns are relatively high. However, if played out wisely, they can make a great addition to a Millennial's retirement portfolio. In that sense, the statistics already show how Gen Y demographics often seek other incomes than just what their official jobs generate. That's why it is imperative to consider which platform gives the best conditions and security to avoid precarious situations. A service that can help them generate even more additional income on which they can rely.
Also, studies have shown that the pandemic has increased the risk appetite among Millennials significantly. Here is a paradox: They remain a relatively young generation that is not very worried about liabilities since, on the one hand, they don't have a whole lot to lose and starting over does not seem like that much of a tragedy. On the other hand, they`re used to sudden changes and have come to deal with these in a surprisingly determined and organised manner.
A suitable Alternative Investment
The term 'Alternative Investment' means performance is unrelated to traditional asset classes such as stocks and bonds. Cryptocurrency can make for an alternative investment for Millennials over the long term since they are likely to remain strong and pull through any financial crisis that may occur in the future�particularly if the fundamentals, use case, partnerships, and innovation of the blockchain project hold up.
So, how to invest safely? The first step is finding a reliable and trustworthy exchange for cryptocurrencies. Simplicity, security, and accessibility are three aspects that everyone should consider while choosing an exchange to invest in crypto. Before ever trying to buy any asset with your hard-earned money, make sure the platform is legit.
Many lost orientation and perspective due to the great crashes in the crypto market, like back in March 2020, or more recently, in May 2021. When the typical Elon Musk tweet hits home and provokes severe market fluctuations, some of the best platforms should be able and willing to give guidance and adapt to their customers' needs.
OctaFX is one of those platforms.
The fintech company just recently accommodated its clients with a leverage update:
it raised the leverage for all its cryptocurrency pairs from 1:10 to 1:25.
As a friendly reminder, the most-traded cryptocurrencies at OctaFX, ranked by popularity, are:
BTCUSD (Bitcoin/U.S. dollar)
XRPUSD (Ripple/U.S. dollar)
ETHUSD (Ethereum/U.S. dollar)
LTCUSD (Litecoin/U.S. dollar)
BCHUSD (Bitcoin Cash/U.S. dollar)
OctaFX decided upon meeting this customer demand after carefully analysing the client sentiment and attentively reviewing client communications.
The cryptocurrency adventure is a wild one and plays a decisive role in ushering in the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Thanks to Millennials or Generation Y, it gathered momentum never seen before on any financial market and has to be reckoned with in the future.
OctaFX is a global broker that provides online trading services since 2011. It offers a state-of-the-art trading experience to over 7 million trading accounts globally.

A groundbreaking charity which has transformed children’s involvement in sport is to be embedded in the school curriculum.
The Sporting Chance Foundation (SCF) initiative short circuits the link between pupils and local sports groups to encourage greater involvement and participation evaluation.
Students at St Margaret’s High School in Airdrie will be the first to take part in the pilot scheme, which sees pupils compete for one of three £1,000 grants that can be used help improve a local sports club.
To secure the prize, the innovative approach will see teams connect with community sports clubs, discover what sporting opportunities the organisation offers and could potentially create with a grant to ensure greater pupil participation in sport. Teams create a demonstration based on their findings to show their class and judges.
The positive response to St Margaret’s SCF pilot has now resulted in funding being secured that can be used to roll out the programme across Scotland.
Charity founder, Martin Lightbody said: “Our objective is to create an initiative that engages the community and available resources to promote sport for all and increase participation in young people.
“This is a pilot scheme and to have it included in the school curriculum is a major achievement.
“Through this programme with St Margaret’s we hope to connect young people to sporting opportunities, increase the proportion of young people participating in sport, and provide an opportunity to develop new transferrable skills. This programme could extend to schools across Scotland.
“At SCF we recognise that not everyone has equal access to sporting opportunities, but we endeavor to change this and get more young people in Scotland participating in sport.”
The inclusion of the scheme was announced at a special event at St Margaret’s on Monday 12 November.
More than 180 pupils heard from inspirational speaker Paula McGuire about how sport has changed her life and how the benefits go beyond the physical impact.
She said: “Programmes like this are a great way to get young people joining the conversation of how to increase youth participation in sports.
“I’ve gained a lot from sport through my own personal challenges and adventures and know from experience that the endorphins can do wonders for your mental health.
“Young people tend to approach problems differently and involving them in the discussion on removing the barriers for sports participation is a great way to encourage new and creative ideas.”
SCF founder Martin Lightbody is the former owner of Hamilton based Lightbody Celebration Cakes before being sold to the Finsbury Food Group in 2007.

“She is a warrior capable of slaying demons. She is a pioneer capable of choosing her own
path. She is a trailblazer capable of achieving new horizons. Just give her some time and see her
bedazzle the world.”
― Avijeet Das
These are the qualities that define Daku Bai Meghwal of Bhainsadakal village in Udaipur district of Rajasthan. The above quote holds true for Mrs. Daku Bai. Wife of Bhana Ramji and a mother o four, Daku Biahas is an expert and a leading practitioner of integrated farming in her village.
Manjari Foundation in collaboration with Hanuman Van Vikas Samiti has been working in Debari since 2017. Daku bai was one of the early members of ‘Bheru Ji Bawji’ Self Help Group promoted under the Sakhi Programme. The group consisting of 15 women, holds meeting twice a month, contributing a regular saving of
INR 50 per per person at every meeting.
The motivation and guidance from the meetings and the training sessions helped hone Daku Bai’s mindset, and she soon started thinking like an entrepreneur. The family had a small landholding in which they were already practicing floriculture. However, income from this was seasonal. Realising the potential of the poultry business, Daku Bai and her family invested INR 10 lakh (that they had saved over many years) to start a new business. Daku bai took a loan of INR 50000 from the SHG.
When they started, they had an initial count of 1600 chicks that they had bought the same from Nasirabad. They build a shelter and fed the chicks as per advice they received in trainings. In a short span of 90 days, the results spoke for itself. They sold the broilers and eggs to Ranawat poultry farm in Udaipur and the Mandi (market) in Savina, Udaipur. This gave then a healthy inflow of cash which enabled them to procure another 1600 chicks.
Today, this business generates a monthly income of Rs.20,000 for Daku Bai and her family. The family is involved in dairy farming. Together, the family is earning a livelihood from multiple streams – floriculture, dairy farming and poultry farming, demonstrating the success of rural entrepreneurship, when done right. Daku Bai has now applied for a second loan from the Federation which is in process.
Today Daku bai has become a role model in the village, admired and recognised by all. She not only motivates women of her SHG but also guiding other women in the village to start their own ventures and add value to their lives. In doing do, Daku bai is painting a better picture of Rural Life. Isn’t she?

Why must you operate the exhaust blower before starting?
The exhaust blower should be operated before starting a boat’s inboard gasoline engine to expel the gasoline fuel vapors occupied in the bilge, preventing explosion.
What should you do before starting an inboard gasoline engine?
If you have an inboard gasoline engine, you need to turn on the blower for four full minutes before starting your boat. This very important step is to remove any fumes that could be lingering in the bilge. All portable fuel tanks must be filled off of the boat.
What is the purpose of a blower on a boat?
In gas-powered boats, there should be one blower for each engine. The blower’s primary job is to remove any gasoline vapors in the engine room. These vapors are highly explosive and if ignited by a spark can destroy the boat and anyone on or beside the boat.
When should the blower be operated on a boat?
If your boat is equipped with a power ventilation system (exhaust blower), turn it on for at least four minutes before starting your engine. This will help eliminate fuel vapors in the bilge. Before starting the engine, sniff the bilge and engine compartment for fuel vapors.
Do you leave the blower on a boat?
You need to also turn the blowers on (or leave them on) between starts when you are using the boat for water sports. Each time you shut down you risk fuel build up and you‘ll have people climbing in and out of the boat don’t restart if you haven’t run the blower.
What are three short blasts of a horn?
One short blast tells other boaters “I intend to pass you on my left (port) side.” Two short blasts tell other boaters “I intend to pass you on my right (starboard) side.” Three short blasts tell other boaters “I am backing up (operating astern propulsion).”
Should a boat be stored with a full tank of gas?
Filling the Tank
Marine engine manufacturers and technicians advise storing any boat with the fuel tank almost full, leaving just a little capacity to accommodate expansion of the fuel if the temperature warms. This can occur if the boat is stored outdoors or in an unheated building.
Where is the best place to install a radar reflector?
It should be installed in an area where it is a minimum 4m (13.1 ft) above the waterline and higher than all the surrounding superstructures to insure that you’ll be seen on the radar screen of large ships and fishing boats.
Why do boats explode after refueling?
Any watercraft with an inboard gasoline engine has a very real potential to explode. This is largely due to the buildup of gas fumes within a confined space, such as the bilge or an engine compartment. These gas fumes could possibly ignite and quickly spread, ultimately leading to an explosion.
Do I need a bilge blower?
If you have an inboard engine boat, a bilge blower is an absolute requirement. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) requirements include functional bilge blowers. On all non-open type boats built after 1980 that run on gas. Even if your boat is much older than that, it must meet the minimum USCG ventilation levels.
How long can you run an inboard out of water?
and it can run day in and day out. (Without coolant and you risk damaging the neoprene impeller in the waterpump after about 30 seconds. Take that out of the equation and the engine is good for 3-5 minutes.) If you run an inboard out of the water you need to be very aware of the prop under the boat.
How many minutes should a blower be operated?
DANGER: To prevent a possible explosion, operate the blower for at least four (4) minutes before starting the engine and always when at idle or slow running speed. Explosive gasoline and/or battery fumes may be present in the engine compartment.
How long should you run your blower?
The minimum recommended time you should run the blower to ventilate the bilge is four minutes. Before switching it on, however, rely on one of the most sensitive odor-detectors you have — your nose.
What other equipment must be on board if your vessel is 16 feet or longer?
If the vessel is 16 feet or more in length, one throwable floatation device – Type IV – like a ring is required as well. Life jackets must be easily accessible, in good working condition, and fit the individual it is intended for properly. Each state has their own regulations regarding children’s life jackets.

After a few weeks of rough sailing in his diplomatic dealings with Washington, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe received a much-needed reprieve Tuesday from an unlikely American visitor: Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida.
During his stop in Tokyo, the Republican senator visited Mr. Abe at his residence and offered assurances on two issues at the heart of Mr. Abe’s policy agenda: the senator’s support for Mr. Abe’s efforts to bolster Japan’s military and a rebuke of China’s aggressive territorial policy.
Mr. Rubio, the ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s East Asian and Pacific Affairs subcommittee, was the most senior member of the U.S. government to meet Mr. Abe since the Japanese leader’s visit to a controversial war shrine in late December set off the fury of Japan’s neighbors and upset officials in Washington.
“I’m encouraged by and personally support your effort to reinvigorate the security capacity of your country, especially in light of illegitimate territorial claims made by some of your more adventurous neighbors,” Mr. Rubio told the prime minister at the beginning of their meeting.
The remarks were probably exactly what Mr. Abe wanted to hear from a prominent American lawmaker after the U.S.’s unusually harsh reaction to Mr. Abe’s shrine visit, describing it as “disappointing,” an action that “exacerbates tensions with Japan’s neighbors.”
Mr. Rubio’s visit comes amid growing interest in Japan among U.S. lawmakers, a phenomenon American officials attribute to rising security tensions in East Asia, as well as stirring of Japan’s economy after a long slump, triggered by Mr. Abe’s aggressive stimulus policy known as Abenomics. Mr. Rubio’s visit will be followed by a visit later this month by Rep. Ed Royce, a California Republican and chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
During last U.S. fiscal year ended Sep. 30, the number of the members of Congress who visited Japan more than doubled from the previous year to 28, according to the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo.
Furthermore, two House lawmakers started the first-ever caucus on Japan earlier this month to press the White House to pursue Japan-related policies, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement. California Republican Devin Nunes and Texas Democrat Joaquin Castro are seeking other members to expand the bipartisan caucus.
The caucus is a welcome move for Tokyo amid concerns over the dearth of U.S. lawmakers who advocate for Japan. Such worries have grown since the death of Sen. Daniel Inouye in 2012 and the retirement of Sen. Jim Webb last year — two lawmakers who had actively engaged in relations with Japan.
Mr. Rubio is on an official visit to Asia this week, visiting South Korea and the Philippines, in addition to Japan. A little-known figure in Japan, Mr. Rubio was introduced by the local media as a young Republican leader who is among the party’s top candidates for the 2016 presidential race.
During his two-day stay in Japan, Mr. Rubio received a briefing from Japanese coast guard officials on China’s increased maritime activities around disputed islands in the East China Sea, visited the U.S. naval base in Yokosuka and met with Japan’s defense and foreign affairs chiefs.

Peter Bottomley (Worthing, West): Further to that point of order, Mr. Speaker. The remarks about Andy Wood may have been made off the cuff by the hon. Member for Ilford, South (Mike Gapes). As you have rightly said, hon. Members have to use their own discretion on whether to use the power make an attackwhether slanderous, accurate or inaccurateon someone outside the House. Could you remind the House that that power is occasionally valuable, but when it seems to be used as part of the weaponry of the reputation assassins, trying to support a Minister in trouble, it makes the House look rather mean and silly?
On 18 June 1998, the inquiry was set up by the then Secretary of State for Health, my right hon. Friend the Member for Holborn and St. Pancras (Mr. Dobson). Kennedy produced close to 200 recommendations; my Bill seeks to address only two issues. I am aware that the Government have done much, and have plans to do much more. My intention is to assist the Government. They have already introduced a Bill to establish the Council for the Regulation of Health Care Professionals. My Bill would clarify one of the new council's responsibilities and strengthen patient representationa principle already embraced by the Government. Kennedy says that staff
Of course, the professionals who currently sit on the boards can be patients, too, but their job is not to represent patients, and I want people on the boards who only represent patients. Having two representatives would allow trusts to ensure geographical representation, and allow for the division of responsibility.
When the NHS Reform and Health Care Professions Bill completes its stages, the Council for the Regulation of Health Care Professionals will come into being. It will have the power to regulate and set uniform, continuous training and assessment requirements for health care professionals. My Bill would make it obligatory for the council, with the Secretary of State, to use those powers and ensure that health care professionals receive regular training to update their skills and working methods. However, there is a disciplinary system in place to cover professionals who refuse training or fall below certain minimum standards of knowledge and practice. Any disciplinary action should be undertaken within reasonable time. I am sure that most hon. Members have heard me mention previously some of the issues affecting the health service in Coventry, where several consultants have been suspended for considerable periodsat least two for a two-year periodat considerable cost to the national health service. Another consultant was suspended as recently as Friday. I do not know too much about the details of the case, but I am struck by the fact that every time a consultant is suspended in Coventry, it seems to be for bullying. That reminds me of my days in industry, when the catch-all offence was gross misconduct. It seems that the charge of bullying is being used in the same sort of way.
As I said, I do not know the details of the case, but I shall not let the matter rest. I intend to seek Adjournment debates to pursue the issue. Some of the managers in the local health service, and even at regional level, have said that they are not going to let half a dozen Members of Parliament push them around. It is not about Members of Parliament pushing management around; it is about ensuring the best possible management for Walsgrave Hospitals NHS trust and Walsgrave hospital. That is the real issue.
The national health service should be a good employer and allow staff to refresh their skills and learn new ones. The Government have spent a lot of time and money encouraging employers to invest in their staff and make lifelong learning opportunities available to them. Surely it would be wrong to exclude such opportunities from the NHS. After all, they are available in the education system. In addition, the NHS would benefit from sharing examples of best practice.
For all those reasons, I want the new council to address the issue and ensure continuous training for all health care professionals. It would be easy to adopt the route of the Opposition and lambast the health service for its inadequacies and mistakes. That is not my style. I am introducing this Bill because it provides a productive approach and real solutions. It will go some way towards giving our constituents an effective service, and a health service to be trusted.
Bill ordered to be brought in by Mr. Jim Cunningham, Mrs. Claire Curtis-Thomas, Mr. Brian Jenkins, Mr. Stephen McCabe, Mr. Mike O'Brien, Mr. Bill Olner, Mr. Geoffrey Robinson, Ms Debra Shipley, Rachel Squire, David Taylor and Mr. James Wray.
Mr. Jim Cunningham accordingly presented a Bill to provide for the training of health professionals and for the involvement of patients and the general public in the decision-making processes of the National Health Service; and to provide mechanisms for the regulation of training and public involvement: And the same was read the First time; and ordered to be read a Second time on Friday 21 June, and to be printed [Bill 99].

|Today was the first day of my trip where
Iíve been the least bit concerned about gas.† Not the upset stomach
type but the petrel type.† When I decided to take Hwy. 50 to Hwy 6
through the southwestern corner of Nevada, I knew that I was going
to be riding through wide-open country. Wide-open country is fine
but it can make for long distances between gas stations.
The morning dawned cool and bright as I left Richland, Utah, at 7:00
a.m.† I needed to backtrack eight miles to find a local country road
to Aurora, and the connection to Highway 50.† Last night when I filled
up at the Chevron station, I got detailed directions from a local
sheriff about how to get there from here.† All went as planned and
within fifteen minutes I was on Highway 50, heading west.
The beginning of the ride wound through some local hills and valleys
then opened onto a long broad valley.† The road, at this point, became
straight as a string (photo 1) with little traffic and even
less development.† I took a picture of one house out in the middle
of this broad valley, next to the mountains, with no one else around
for miles and miles (photo 2).† How do these people make a
living out here?† These folks are made of hearty stock: self reliant,
independent, and apparently comfortable with being alone.
I stopped in Ely, Nevada for gas and picked up Highway 6 to Tonopah,
164 miles away.† It was at this point that I became somewhat cautious
concerning my gas situation.† There are no towns on the map between
Ely and Tonopah.† My Beemer averages about 40 mpg and holds 5.5 gallons.†
If all goes well that gives me a range of about 220 miles before I
run out of gas.† The problem is that Iíve never even gotten close
to that distance before Iíve filled up again.† In truth, I donít really
know how far this thing will actually go before running dry.
Iím in the process of thinking about this situation when I pass a
sign at about the 22 mile mark that officially informs me there is
no gas for the next 50 miles.† Hot Damn!† I can go 72 miles with my
eyes closed as long as I know there is indeed gas 50 miles ahead.
After being on the road for more than an hour I come to a little store
with one lonely gas pump out front (photo 3).† It has only
89-octane gas and my motorcycle prefers 91.† Hey, beggars canít be
choosers and 89 octane is close enough for government work.† Fill
There is one, lone, teenage girl in the store working the place. Two
old buffalo stand quietly in a dusty, dry corral in the back, and
me.† I comment that this place is a fur piece from anywhere for a
part-time summer job.† She tells me her grandparents own the place
and sheís staying the summer with them to help out.† This is obviously
a young lady torn between teenage desires to be with friends in the
summer, and family responsibilities.† I get the feeling sheís accepted
her decision, reluctantly.† I take 1.8 gallons and am set for the
next 94 miles to Tonopah.
The road to Tonopah is pretty typical Nevada country.† Some mountains,
lots of sage and scrub brush, straight roads that go on forever, some
more mountains, and then repeat the above.† The only real difference
is that there seem to be fewer people here than the other roads Iíve
traveled in Nevada, and there werenít a lot of people there.† Hwy
50 is not the ďLoneliest Road in America.Ē† Trust me, highway 6 is
I reach Tonopah around 1:30 in the afternoon. Iíve gained an hour
when I entered the Pacific Time Zone somewhere back down the road.†
Iíve actually been on the road, minus gas fill-ups, for seven and
one-half hours.† I stop at a nameless casino for lunch.
Eating in a casino turned out to be a big mistake.† The food was all
right, but there was an awful lot of smoke from the casino.† I have
a bowl of soup and eat fast.† With me, eating fast is easy to do.†
Almost all of my relatives were heavy smokers, so I grew up with it
in our home, both my parents being heavy smokers as well.† The city
I now live in does not allow smoking in restaurants so Iíve become
used to eating in a smoke-free environment and was not even aware
of that fact until I started eating in the smoky confines of that
casino.† Truth be known, I prefer the smoke free meal.
I donít even want to go into the number of my family members who have
died from smoking related diseases.† They run the gamut from cancers
of the throat and vocal chords, emphysema, lung cancer, early stroke,
you name it and one of my family members has died from it.† And the
problem with cancer and emphysema is they donít kill you fast.† On
the contrary, they are a slow agonizing death, which steal your self-respect.†
No, the Whiteheadís donít do well as smokers.† Iím back on the road
by 1:50 and on my way west.
This afternoon is a repeat performance of this morning until we get
to California.† I never actually know when I enter California since
some kids have stolen the ďWelcome to CaliforniaĒ sign.† Hey, kids
out here have to do something for fun, with nothing but jack rabbits
for company.† In fact, between trucks at night and teenagers with
guns during the day, this has got to be a dangerous place for jackrabbits.
I stop at the agricultural inspection station for a drink, just outside
the town of Benton.† There is only one ďinspectorĒ way out here, a
middle-aged lady, and sheís friendly and willing to talk.† I find
myself admiring these folks who live such a different life than mine
and who are seemingly content in their situation.† Our ability, as
a species, to adapt to our surroundings must have played a major part
in our climbing to the top of the food chain.
From here the road starts to gain interest. First I climb into some
red rock mountains, then a long stretch of almost straight road that
runs behind the eastern side of the mountains.† Then up again into
a forested area of red bark pine trees that open on to vistas of the
mighty Sierra Nevada Mountains.† I canít imagine what it must have
been like as a settler, having just crossed the deserts of Nevada
in a wagon train, and seeing those huge mountains.† They stand like
a citadel, protecting California from the Mongol hordes from the east.†
Apparently they werenít that big a deal, since weíve become the most
populist state in the union.† One out of ten Americans now live in
California.† Finally I come over a hill and see Mono Lake below and
to my right.† Lee Vining is only a hop and a skip away.
The ride on the California side of the border is marked with signs
warning, ďDips for Next 5 Miles.Ē† This part of the trip is like an
amusement ride with dips that create ďGĒ forces in your stomach, and
quick hills that make you light headed. Up and down, up and down.
Yahoo!! Itís time to slow this sucker down before I hurt myself, or
Itís now 4:20 and Iím close to the eastern entrance of Yosemite.†
Iím tempted to go on but my body says no, so I get a little cabin
in Lee Vining for $65 (photo 4).† Distance traveled today,
525 miles, a record for me.
I clean up and head next door to the ďNicelyís CafťĒ for a bite to
eat.† On the way in, I see two BMWís parked outside, one a K1100 and
the other a K75.† Both are painted a light, matching metallic blue.†
After ordering my meal, I engage the owners in a conversation about
their trip.† They are a couple from Arizona and have gone almost the
opposite direction of my trip, going all the way into Canada then
down the coast.† They are returning from the National BMW Rally in
Redmond, Washington.† They tell me there were more than 7000 BMWís
at the rally, small by Sturgis standards, but they enjoyed themselves
and plan to attend next years rally in Virginia. Later, after dinner,
they show me their bikes and we talk about some of the cruising improvements
they have made.† Nice folks, which is turning out to be the norm on
I return to my motel to call Linda.† For the first time, Iím starting
to get anxious to be home.

With a sinking economy as the backdrop, the 128th session of the Ohio General Assembly Monday opened in Columbus.
A man whose name is well known to two generations of college students died last week. Former Rhode Island Senator Claiborne Pell was the force behind – the Pell Grant program. The program has helped tens of millions of Americans go to college since its start in 1972. WOSU commentator Jerolyn Barbee is thankful for Pell Grants, but says more needs to be done to make college affordable.

In big French cities like Paris and Lyon, you’ll find a rich programme of concerts spanning every musical genre (jazz, classical, pop, hip hop, funk, you name it). Organised events take place in prestigious venues (like the Palais Royal in Paris), while neighbourhood bands and amateur artists set up on every possible street corner. The longest day of the year is full of revelry and merriment for every age group. And the metro will run all night.
Don’t miss stars like Lana Del Rey at L’Olympia. For the full list of concerts, see the website Que Faire à Paris. Le Figaro also highlights the must-see concerts of this 33rd edition. A highlight for 2014 is a city-wide event called “Play Me I’m Yours”, which will be happening simultaneously. Fifty “street pianos,” personalised by different artists, have been set up in parks, popular squares and mythical touristic sites… all for your playing pleasure.
The best part of all? All the concerts are free.

WHAT DOES THE EVIL EYE MEAN?
WHAT DOES EVIL EYE JEWELRY DO?
HOW TO PROTECT FROM THE EVIL EYE?
WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE EVIL EYE?
IS THE EVIL EYE REAL?
WHO CAN WEAR THE EVIL EYE?
Wearing the evil eye is not specific to any one religion or culture, and anyone can wear it to protect themselves from harm.
HOW TO USE THE EVIL EYE FOR THE HOUSE:
WHAT DOES THE EVIL EYE LOOK LIKE?
The evil eye is typically depicted as an eye with a swirling pattern around it. The most popular evil eye materials vary from culture to culture.
In general, glass evil eyes are very popular. Glass evil eyes can also be made in the shape of other animals, often representing the power and protection of these creatures. Some common animal shapes include a horse's eye, a falcon's eye, or even an elephant's eye.
Hamsa hand evil eyes are also popular. The protective hamsa hand is a palm-shaped amulet with an eye in the center, often worn as a pendant or charm. Evil eye beads are also common. Evil eye beads come in different materials, including glass, wood, or stones.
Likewise, enamel evil eye jewelry is also very popular. The technique is simple; an enameler paints an "evil eye" design onto metal using enamel paint. The metal is then heated, so the paint hardens and creates a durable finish.
WHAT ARE SOME EVIL EYE MATERIALS?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF YOUR EVIL EYE FALLS OF OR BREAKS?
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF EVIL EYE COLORS?
Blue Evil Eyes: The most common color, blue evil eye jewelry, is said to represent peace, love, and protection.
White Evil Eyes: White evil eye jewelry is often used to represent purity and innocence. It is said to offer protection against curses and negative energy.
Orange Evil Eyes: The color orange is said to represent strength, courage, and determination.
Red Evil Eyes: Red is said to be a powerful color that can help deflect negative energy from one's love life.
Green Evil Eyes: The color green is said to cleanse negativity affecting the wearer's health and vitality.
Yellow Evil Eyes: Yellow is said to represent happiness and good fortune.
Purple Evil Eyes: Purple is said to represent wisdom.
Black Evil Eyes: A strong black color is said to represent strength and power.
Evil eye talismans come in many different colors, each with its own specific meaning.
CAN THE EVIL EYE BE ANY COLOR?
Yes, the eye symbol to ward off evil can be any color. However, the most common colors are white and blue evil eyes. Blue is often seen as a cleansing color, while white evil eye jewelry represents purity. Other colors may also be used in evil eye amulets and charms, depending on the specific symbolism associated with that color in that particular culture. For example, some may use red evil eyes to represent power and strength, while other may use green evil eyes to represent growth and fertility.
WHAT DOES THE BLUE EYE MEAN?
The blue eye is said to protect against evil spirits and bad luck. The color blue is often associated with water, which has the power to wash away negative vibes. Therefore, blue evil eyes are very popular as they are believed to offer powerful protection against the evil eye curse.
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE RED EVIL EYE BRACELET?
WHAT DOES THE GREEN EVIL EYE MEAN?
WHAT DOES THE YELLOW EVIL EYE MEAN?
WHAT DOES THE BLACK EVIL EYE MEAN?
Some believe the black evil eye absorbs negative energy and protects the wearer from harm. A black evil eye bracelet is often worn as a charm or amulet to ward off evil spirits and protect the wearer from bad luck. Wearing a black evil eye bracelet also brings good luck and fortune.
CAN I WEAR MY EVIL EYE BRACELET TO SLEEP?
Yes, you can wear your evil eye bracelet to sleep. In fact, some believe evil eye jewelry provides the most protection when you are asleep because that is when you are most vulnerable to negative energy. Wearing an evil eye bracelet to bed will help keep you safe from harm and protect you from bad dreams.
IS THE EVIL EYE GREEK?
CAN YOU WEAR HAMSA AND EVIL EYE TOGETHER?
There's no right or wrong answer to this question - it's entirely up to you and your personal style. If you feel comfortable wearing evil eye jewelry and the protective hamsa symbol together, then go for it! Some people believe that the hamsa hand also protects against the evil eye, so wearing both may offer extra security to the wearer. However, others may feel that the two symbols cancel each other out. But ultimately, it's up to you to decide if you'd like to combine hamsa and evil eye jewelry!
In conclusion, the evil eye symbol is a powerful symbol of protection and good luck. Different colors represent different attributes - the blue eye for general protection, the red eye for love protection, the green eye for healing and fertility, the yellow eye for happiness and prosperity, and the black eye to absorb negative energy. Whether you wear an evil eye pendant or bracelet is up to you - some people may choose to combine the hamsa hand and evil eye symbols for extra protection. Whatever symbol you decide on, know that it will bring good luck and safety to the wearer.

State Rep. Peter Beck has resisted calls from his own party’s leaders to resign, but there’s one demand he won’t be able to ignore – that of the voters.
In Tuesday’s Republican primary, Mason-area voters should show Beck the door and instead nominate one of his opponents for election.
Beck has been indicted on a long list of serious charges that include money laundering, corruption and perjury. He’s accused of selling ownership shares in a business that he knew was insolvent. If convicted of the felony charges, he would be ineligible to serve in the Statehouse.
His business partner last week agreed to plead guilty in the case and testify against him.
Beck will get his day in court and has pleaded not guilty. He’s innocent until proven guilty. But no such standard need apply at the ballot. The charges are serious enough that they will affect Beck’s effectiveness as a legislator.
His own party has pointedly declined to endorse him. House Speaker Bill Batchelder, a Republican, and Ohio Republican Party chair Matt Borges have both called for his resignation.
Beck’s Republican opponents are 29-year-old accountant Mary Jo Kubicki and 48-year-old accountant Paul Zeltwanger.
Kubicki has been endorsed by state auditor Dave Yost, Warren County Sheriff Larry Sims, state Rep. Ron Maag and others.
Zeltwanger’s endorsements include Citizens for Community Values, Ohio Right to Life and Warren County Right to Life.
Voters should do what Beck refuses to: end his term in the Legislature. ■

Darkest Hour stands apart from more routine historical dramas.
From: Steven Delpome, North Arlington, NJ
How about we start calling this Tom Cruise "Trapped in the Closet" controversy what it really is: homophobia on his part. For years, whenever any tabloid has made any kind of suggestion that Tom Cruise might be gay, he has reacted with overwhelming force. Does he have the right to react? Of course. However these have always been the types of stories most celebs in his position ignore and let die -- there have certainlybeen other stories about him that he's ignored and let die. However once the subject of homosexuality comes up, Cruise becomes the great crusader for individual rights...HIS OWN individual rights that is.
Perhaps someone should find out Scientology's stance on homosexuality and see where Cruise's motivations actually lie, because this feels more like
Cruise reacting to the episode's repeated suggestion that he should "come
out of the closet," than to anything Scientology-related.
Stop watching movies made by assholes. It'll be OK.

The term “chemical evolution of galaxies” refers to the evolution of abundances of chemical species in galaxies, which is due to nuclear processes occurring in stars and to gas flows into and out of galaxies.
This book deals with the chemical evolution of galaxies of all morphological types (ellipticals, spirals and irregulars) and stresses the importance of the star formation histories in determining the properties of stellar populations in different galaxies. The topic is approached in a didactical and logical manner via galaxy evolution models which are compared with observational results obtained in the last two decades: The reader is given an introduction to the concept of chemical abundances and learns about the main stellar populations in our Galaxy as well as about the classification of galaxy types and their main observables. In the core of the book, the construction and solution of chemical evolution models are discussed in detail, followed by descriptions and interpretations of observations of the chemical evolution of the Milky Way, spheroidal galaxies, irregular galaxies and of cosmic chemical evolution.
The aim of this book is to provide an introduction to students as well as to amend our present ideas in research; the book also summarizes the efforts made by authors in the past several years in order to further future research in the field.

Islamabad [Pakistan], August 6 (ANI): Pakistan's National Security Advisor Moeed Yusuf on Friday said that his country was concerned about the evolving security situation in Afghanistan, adding that peace in the war-torn country was in the best interests of both Washington and Islamabad.
"We are concerned about the current situation in the country," he stressed during a press conference in the US capital after holding discussions with senior Biden administration officials, including NSA Jake Sullivan, reported The News International.
He also defended Pakistan over the accusation of assisting the Taliban, by saying that Afghanistan has been shifting the blame for its failures on the neighbouring country.
"I came here on Prime Minister Imran Khan's directives to figure out a political solution to the Afghan imbroglio," Moeed Yusuf said, reported Dawn further.
In a recent development, Taliban attacked Nangarhar Province and captured some security check posts in border districts of Achin and Pacher wa Agam Hesarak, Sherzad, Pacher wa Agam, Deh Bala (Hska Mina), Achin, and Surkhrod Districts have seen an increase in Taliban attacks.
Meanwhile, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan met with his Pakistani counterpart Moeed Yusuf in Washington and discussed issues regarding regional security, including the urgent need for a negotiated political settlement to the Afghan conflict.
This meeting between the two NSAs holds significance in the backdrop of mounting violence in Afghanistan. Despite the fast-approaching August deadline of US and NATO troops' withdrawal, the negotiations between the Afghan government and the Taliban are not moving forward. (ANI)

Experimental Research and Analysis on the Flexible Behaviors of High-Strength Concrete Thin-Walled Box Girder
A full test on the flexible behaviors of the long flanges and trapezoidal section high-strength concrete thin-walled box girder has been performed. The deflection horizontal distribution, strain and strain distribution of concrete and reinforced bars in the compressive flanges, strain distribution along rib height have been studied. The results demonstrate that reinforced concrete thin-walled box girder has fine flexible behavior and ductility, strain distribution along rib height agrees with the basic assume, i.e. Plane section before deforming remain plane, and the destructive experimental results disclosed the full process law of shear lag effect and equivalent calculated coefficient of compressed flange width at middle span section, which can be served as a reference for that applying elementary reinforced concrete beam theory settles the ultimate flexural capacity calculation of concrete thin-walled box girder.

THE LOST LOST RAP
My little brother Danny James made up this rap called "The Lost Lost Rap", about a rap that had been lost when we were drawing comics in Lake Merritt park smokin' some bammer many years ago. The concept quickly developed into the idea that there are "Lost Raps" which must be unearthed & decoded for their esoteric knowledge. I loved Rap when it came out & for about ten years or so until it became what it is today. Market-saturated, pervasive, boring & boring. So, when something loses all meaning & relevance like Rap or Black slang has, it actually transcends culture & time & becomes something new. It can become something universal & something amazing. This Fruity Pebbles commercial proves my point, by introducing the word "Fruit-a-rooty". So, enjoy this new feature of BRAIN STORM: THE LOST LOST RAP. Speaking of which, my central New Year's Resolution was to more effectively blog, so i'm concentrating on BRAIN STORM as my central blog & creating some features & trying to get a post up here every day. You can reciprocate by commenting more often & becoming a FOLLOWER of DER BRAIN STORM! Happy New Year.

“Good Morning America” fans will be without their a.m. greeting from Robin Roberts after this week. After announcing in July that she would be taking an extended medical leave, People magazine reports that Roberts’ last day will be this Friday, August 31st.
The morning show host suffers from myelodysplastic syndrome which is commonly called “MDS”. When most of Americans will be enjoying their Labor Day at backyard barbecues, Roberts will be preparing to undergo a bone marrow transplant.
Roberts stated, “It’s rare to have MDS and mine was because of complications from the breast cancer treatment.” Roberts fought breast cancer just five years ago.
ABC reports that as Robin prepares for her bone marrow transplant, her doctor will appear live on “GMA” this week to discuss her treatment, procedure and recovery process.
According to People, Robert’s sister, Sally is her bone marrow donor. Not everyone is lucky enough to find a match. It’s certainly not as easy as finding the right blood type.
In fact, according to “Be the Match”, seventy percent of patients don’t have matching donors in their families and need to find an unrelated adult donor or cells from donated umbilical cord blood. “Be the Match” is an organization that helps match donors to recipients. The program has more than 9.5 million potential donors and nearly 165,000 available cord blood units.
Even though the organization has received tremendous support since Roberts announced she had MDS, many people still don’t know how easy and rewarding it is to become a bone marrow donor states CEO Dr. Jeffrey Chell.
“This is truly an amazing gift,” not only for the recipient but to the donor, Chell said. “Donors say their lives have been transformed by this altruistic act. They think of themselves differently. Their family thinks of them differently. How many people can say they’ve saved someone’s life?”
“This is a need for more donors,” Chell said. “The type of matching we do is very complex and precise. It’s so important that people join the registry [and] be committed to being on that registry.”
There’s a song that puts things like this in perspective. It goes something like this: “What would you do if this happened to you? You’ve got to think about it that way… because if we can’t help someone who’s in need, then what good are we anyway?”
Robin Roberts will be missed on the morning talk show but, everyone will be more than happy to welcome her back as soon as she is well.
Ever the optimist, Roberts shared, “I am very blessed. Forty percent of Americans can’t even take a sick day and here, I know that I’m going to have a job when I come back.”
For viewers who wish to continue to say “Good Morning” to Roberts, beginning next Thursday her team of doctors will post updates on her recovery and fans will be able to leave personal messages for her.
As Pink would say, “Raise your glass.” Here’s to Sally for her generous gift of life and to Robin for her inspirational courage.

Living Word Ministers to Homeless Community
Story by Andre Hastick
During the annual Winter Relief program, Chesapeake Conference's Living Word church partnered with the Arundel House of Hope, Inc., both located in Glen Burnie, Md., to provide shelter for 25 homeless men for a week. Kleyton Feitosa, pastor of Living Word, discovered this program after visiting Arundel House of Hope to inquire how his church could help the less fortunate in the community. To meet the needs of the homeless men, a group of 45 church volunteers provided them with bedding, food, clean laundry, showers, social activities and counseling.
Feitosa says, “Ministry is about being the hands and feet of Jesus. His compelling mission to the ‘least of these’ has moved the Living Word church to embrace this and other community projects as part of our commitment to God, community and mission.”
To share his appreciation, one of the men wrote a one-page thank-you letter to all the volunteers, expressing his gratitude for Living Word’s kindness and love toward him. Additionally, one guest expressed interest in attending worship and requested a ride to church the following week.
“Caring about our fellow travelers’ spiritual, physical and emotional well-being on this journey called life is our mission,” says Judy Kerr, church member and leader of the partnership initiative. “By the grace of God, we will continue our march of service that leads to higher ground.”
