The portal opened five feet from his left, and Wolverine watched the lanky, muscled frame of his former teammate and friend step out onto the snowy grounds of the Jean Gray School for Gifted Students. Cyclops looked grim as usual, and travelled with a dusty satchel. Wolverine couldn’t remember the last time he had seen Scott Summers smile.
“I’m here, Logan.” Cyclops said, looking around for traps. “What is it you needed? Make it quick, I’m a wanted man.”
Wolverine uncrossed his arms and stepped forward. “I’ve been one too, Cyke, many times. After awhile, being out in the cold gets to ya’.” Scott just nodded, and so Wolverine continued. “Remember that first Christmas back at the Mansion with Chucky, Kitty, Peter and Kurt? We all laughed watchin’ Storm give the Professor Snow-Fros?”
“That was a long time ago,” Cyclops said, and instantly struggled with a thought. How long ago was that? Sometimes it feels like it was Thirty years ago, but it may have been only Five.
“If there’s one thing you learn while being an X-Man, it’s that time can always be changed.” Wolverine half smiled, and reached behind a nearby statue. He pulled out a box, brightly wrapped in red and green candy cane printed paper.
It was an X-Mas present from one X-Man to an Ex-X-Man.
Cyclops opened the box with hesitant hands. Years of battle hardened ambushes had trained him to be wary of gifts. What lay inside the present surprised him more than any bomb, alien parasite or severed head of a beloved comrade.
Inside the box was a case of custom made, ruby quartz contact lenses. Enough to last an entire year.
“Merry X-Mas, Slim.” growled Wolverine. “Hank helped with the design. I wonder why we’ve never thought of this before.”
“Logan,” choked Scott, “It’s-. I don’t know what to say.” Embarrassed, he turned and reached into his travel bag, taking out a brightly wrapped box of his own. Wolverine was stunned. He did not expect this…because this story takes place now. If this was the 80’s or 90’s, they would have said Wolverine could pre-smell the present with his heightened senses, but nobody remembers that power set anymore.
“I had hoped your message was sincere, so I came prepared. Thanks for forgiving me for killing Professor X. Again.” Cyclops laughed.
“Ah, heck, Slim. Who hasn’t killed that bald S.O.B. once or twice. Now what have we here,” Wolverine asked, opening the gift. He, too, was surprised because again- no heightened sense of smell.
Inside was an Adamantium claw sharpener with a jar of Adamantium claw polish. Wolverine smiled. Cyclops did the same. Somewhere a jolly, fat elf was Ho-Hoed. They both started to laugh.
“You know, Scott, this gift is the most thoughtful thing anyone’s ever given me,” Wolvie sighed, “And as useless as a Metrocard for Nightcrawler. You see-” and what followed was a sickening SHLACK sound, as the bloody stumps of bones broke through Wolverine’s hands. “I sold my Adamantium claws and skeleton to a scrap dealer in order to afford the Ruby Quartz Contacts.”
Tears started to swell in Scott Summers’ eyes, as he broke into a silly grin. “Of course. That seems like our luck, Logan, because you see-” He paused. Red streaks started to roll down his cheeks. Tears of blood were flowing fast now, as Cyclops removed his visor, revealing the ruined cavities of his former weapons. “I sold my eyes to a mutant organ harvester in order to afford the Adamantium claw sharpener.”
They laughed, cried, hugged and bled all over each other there in the snow, both laughing at the magic of Christmas. They soon both passed out from blood loss and died of exposure.

What is this safari about?
The Liuwa Plains NP is a remote and little visited wildlife area in the remote Western province of Zambia. One of the oldest protected wildlife areas in the whole of Africa it is home to the second largest wildebeest gathering and arguably the best hyena viewing in Africa. Birdlife is prolific in Liuwa, a staggering array and volume of birds can be found here, flying over and feeding in the dozens of seasonal pans of water, which at certain times of year are lined with the most beautiful wildflowers one can imagine.
For the Liuwa Plains Mobile Safari, J&M Safaris brings their own staff, game drive vehicles, experienced Liuwa guides, food and drinks, guest tents and linen and offer four-night safaris on this ‘mobile camp’ basis. They typically offer two set-date departures per year, which folk can book onto (6 spaces max, 4 min.) but likewise they are able to cater for small group trips on an ad-hoc basis too. Depending on the date of the safari departure it will dictate which of the community campsites is applied for use of – the time of year affects the wildlife movements and each camp has it’s unique associated wildlife and habitats.
Who can go?
This safari is ideal for singles, couples or small groups wanting to experience this special landscape. Singles and couples can join the set departure dates that have a minimum of 4 guests to confirm, and a maximum of 6. Groups can request private dates and have the experience all to themselves. Children 14 years and older are welcome on the mobile safari. Children younger than 14 are welcome through a private group booking
Where is this?
This mobile safari takes place in the incredibly remote Liuwa Plains National Park in western Zambia.
Simply put Liuwa is not easy to get to. Historically there were seat-rate scheduled departures to the airstrip nearest Liuwa (Kalabo), these have now ceased and do not look likely to return, as such the best transfer option is utilizing a charter flight into/out of Kalabo Airstrip – itself apprx. 3-hour drive from the camp locations. The relatively high cost of a charter to Kalabo (it is a far as one can get in Zambia!) are off-set by the minimum number of pax we need for these trips to run, four, and whilst charter prices vary and are related to group size (therefore size of plane), you can look at approx. $1000 per person each way.
What should I expect to pay?
The mobile safari is restricted to a minimum of 4 nights of which the cost is USD$2500 per person including: all meals, individual tented accommodation, shared ablutions male and female wing (flushing toilet and running water shower), drinks incl. water, house wine, beer and spirits, safari activities, laundry, Park Fees, Government Taxes and Levies, transfers from/to Kalabo airstrip.
The charter flights are excluded, and these are roughly USD$1000 per person one way depending on the number of passengers on the plane.
What Extensions do you recommend?
Combining Liuwa with the Kafue – Many guests prefer to combine Liuwa and the Kafue NP’s (as the Kafue is between Lusaka and Liuwa) and as such folk will often start with a stay at Musekese Camp and then head on to Liuwa – the plane which takes guests to Kalabo can stop-off in the Kafue and collect guests from Musekese on route (or drop them off after!).
For the ultimate extension, considering visiting the bat migration in Kasanka National Park!

Title : Paramagnetic Point Defects in Boron-Implanted Hg0.7Cd0.3Te.

Abstract : The initial observations of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra from Hg0.7Cd0.3Te and CdTe after implantation with boron ions are described in this report. Sharp and nearly isotropic EPR signals with the free electron g-values were easily detected at low temperatures (= or 78 K) when the boron ion implant dose was 1 x 10 to the 16th power ions/sq cm or larger. For identical implant conditions, more intense signals and narrower peaks were obtained from Hg0.78Cd0.3Te samples than from CdTe samples. However, the g-factors for all implanted Hg(1-x)Cd(x)Te samples appear to be equivalent and are similar to the values reported for the dangling-bond defects in other ion-implanted semiconductors. The EPR spectra produced by the boron implants do not correspond to either the degenerate conduction electron bands that form in ion-implanted Hg(1-x)Cd(x)Te or to the shallow donor states previously found in chemically doped CdTe. When implanted crystals are cooled below 4 K, partially resolved, two-component lineshapes are observed at some orientations. Increasing the temperature causes these two-component lines to collapse into nearly Lorentzian lineshapes with temperature-dependent widths. This behavior is consistent with a thermally activated process by which the paramagnetic spins hop between different locations. Keywords: Cadmium telluride, Mercury cadmium telluride.

NAGAON/GUWAHATI, Sept 21 - Six persons were electrocuted in a pond that had come in contact with an overhead 11kv wire that had snapped early this morning.
The incident took place in Uttar Khatooal village of Juria in Rupohihat constituency. The deceased were identified as Rafiqul Islam, Jabar Ali, Habibur Rahman, Mainul Islam, Ashiful Islam (10) and Inamul Islam.
Locals claimed the high voltage transmission line was dangling dangerously for the last few days, and it snapped last night and fell into a pond belonging to one Syeb Ali.
Villagers claimed that they informed the power department officials at about 5 am. In the meantime, some people jumped into the pond looking for dead fishes. At around 8 am, the line was activated again, due to which six persons were electrocuted in the water body. Eight others were injured and shifted to BP Civil Hospital in Nagaon and the condition of some of them is stated to be critical.
Three officials � SDO Pallab Das, Junior Engineer Dipok Pradhan and line man Fakhrul Islam � were placed under suspension.
Angry villagers attacked the house of one Fakhrul Islam, a lineman of APDCL. His vehicle and furniture were destroyed in the mob attack.
The district administration deployed additional security forces in that area to control the situation.
The 200-km high voltage line runs from the Rupohi sub-station to Singimari.
�In patches, the conductors are thin. The line is in constant touch with bamboo poles and so there are frequent shorts and flashing. This morning the wire snapped and power transmission was snapped automatically. At the time of the incident, test charging was being done, due to which the people in the pond got electrocuted,� a senior APDCL official said.
Power Minister Topon Gogoi, Water Resources Minister Keshab Mahanta and APDCL Chairman Jishnu Barooah and other senior officials rushed to the spot.
Keshab Mahanta declared ex gratia of Rs 2.5 lakh to each family of dead persons.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal has ordered an inquiry into the incident. Additional Chief Secretary and Chairman of APDCL Jishnu Barua has been asked to inquire into the incident, an official release said.
�The inquiry will primarily be encompassing within its ambit the circumstances leading to the electrocution incident. The APDCL Chairman has been asked to submit the report to the government immediately,� the release added.
The Chief Minister, while expressing his condolence over the death of the six people in the incident, prayed for the speedy recovery of those affected in the incident.

Thank you for this consult and for involving me in your patient’s care. This is an excellent question regarding the ability to repair and the morbidity of such a surgery. Indeed this is a complex recurrent ventral hernia. Here are a few recommendations: Whether or not the patient moves forward with surgery then can reduce the morbidity of this recurrent ventral hernia/diastases by working on weight loss. Weight loss will also definitely be important if the patient does undergo surgical repair to help reduce the risk of complications. A few suggestions include increasing protein intake to 60 to 80 grams per day, decreasing carbs to a maximum of 70 grams per day, avoiding simple carbs like white bread, rice, and fried foods, starting with protein in the mouth first, reading labels and avoiding foods that have sugar in the first three ingredients, avoiding sugary drinks and beverages, exercise (even walking) 3 x per week at least, aiming for increased water intake.
I also recommend the patient keep their bowels moving and start a bowel regimen to avoid constipation. The CT in 2020 revealed constipation which can worsen hernia symptoms. We use a capful of mirilax daily and keep hydrated. Finally, recommend referring to an MIS surgeon who has expertise in complex abdominal wall reconstruction. There are new laparoscopic procedures that may be useful in this case where the hernia is repaired in the preperitoneal (retrorectus) space avoiding the bowel altogether. The patient will most likely require a new CT with contrast to plan surgical repair. And, discussing good nutrition prior to surgical repair is also of help. Hoping this is helpful and wishing the patient well.

Securities class action filings rise slightly in 2011 compared to the prior year but remained below historical averages according to the annual study of Cornerstone Research, prepared in conjunction with the Stanford Law School Securities Class Action Clearinghouse, which was released today. A copy of the report can be found here, and Cornerstone Research’s January 19, 2012 press release can be found here. My own analysis of the 2011 securities class action lawsuit filings can be found here.
According to the report, there were 188 securities class action lawsuit filings in 2011, compared to 176 in 2010, and compared to the 1997 to 2010 average annual average number of filings of 194. The two largest factors in the number of 2011 filings were the heightened number of M&A-related filings (43) and the elevated number of filings involving U.S.-listed Chinese companies. (33).
The Cornerstone Research report contains a number of insights about the 2011 filings beyond those that have appeared in previously published analysis of the filings. Among other things, the report notes that three percent of companies listed on the three major U.S. exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ and Amex) were sued in securities suits in 2011. This represents the highest annual percentage since 2004 and is above the 1997 to 2010 annual average percentage of 2.4 percent.
On the other hand, in 2011 only 3.2 percent of S&P 500 companies were sued, “making it the least litigious year for S&P 500 companies since 2000.” Historically, larger companies have been more likely to be sued in a securities class action lawsuit, and that trend continued in 2001. Thus, while only 3.2 percent of the S&P 500 companies were sued in 2011, those companies represented 5.1% of the S&P 500 market capitalization.
This year’s Cornerstone Research report also contains a number of new analyses, including an analysis of the number of private securities class action lawsuits filed between 1996 and 2011 involving Foreign Corrupt Practices Act allegations. The report shows that there were four such filings in 2011, the highest annual number of filings since 2006 (when there were also four filings).
The report also contains a new analysis of the experience of the judges handling securities class action lawsuits during the period 1996 to 2011. The analysis shows that while there are a relatively small number of judges that handled more than ten cases during that period (65), a much larger number of judges (329) handled only one case, and the vast majority of judges (582) handled only three or fewer cases. The inference is that many securities cases are being handled by judges who are relatively inexperienced with securities cases – although there is also a smaller number of judges that are very experienced with these types of cases.
The report also reflects some interesting insight about the plaintiffs’ law firms’ involvement in these cases. The report sets out which law firms are selected most often as lead counsel in securities class action cases that do not involve M&A related allegations and then separately lists the firms most often selected as lead counsel in the M&A cases. The interesting thins is that the lineup of law firms leading the M&A cases looks very different than the lineup for the other cases. These differences shed some light on the changing mix of corporate and securities lawsuits and the growth in the number of M&A cases, suggesting that among other things the rising M&A related litigation activity may reflect dynamics within the securities’ plaintiffs’ bar.
Speaking of M&A related cases, Cornerstone Research has also recently released a separate companion report specifically focused on M&A related litigation, which can be found here.

Military binoculars have come a long way since the Second World War.
During the Second World War, the U.S. military used heavy, clunky binoculars that constantly needed to be adjusted and were capable of seeing a few hundred yards. Extremely large binoculars known as “rangefinders” were mounted on naval ships during the Second World War and used to spot targets as far away as 25 kilometers. These rangefinders weighed as much as 10 tons.
Today, U.S. soldiers use ultra light weight binoculars that have been battle tested and can withstand numerous shocks and extreme weather conditions. One of the most widely used military binoculars today is the "Steiner 8 x 30 Tactical Binocular." This piece of equipment is fog proof, water proof, and extremely light weight. It can keep objects in focus from 20 meters to infinity and can be adjusted to each soldier’s individual eye.
Many of today’s binoculars come equipped with a "reticle" in the right viewing field, which helps soldier’s gauge the distance to an object. This helps when aiming and targeting items in combat. Many modern binoculars also come with sensors that blunt the impact of light dazzlers and lasers on the battlefield. Light dazzlers and other lasers are used in battle to temporarily blind or distract soldiers.
Some military binoculars come with 30 year warranties and are able to function for long periods of time in extreme weather conditions. Although they have changed a lot over the years, military binoculars today still serve the same function – helping soldiers locate enemy positions and targets.

How does one measure the influence and impact of a band on music? Sure, you could look at album sales, which in the case of The Beatles is a corollary that works, but then you could see how many albums a band like Godsmack or someone like Kenny Chesney has sold and just throw that idea out the window. Truly, the best way to gauge a bands importance in music is to take a look at the world of music before and after their existence? There are artists like Black Sabbath, The Ramones, and Black Flag, among others, that completely flipped the music world upside-down when they unleashed their sound on the unsuspecting masses. Then again, the first guy to create electronica music did the same. Nevertheless, this is how we should find Botchs place in music, something that would have been a hell of a lot harder to do so while the band was still alive and breathing. Though, Im sure someone was listening to the first Ramones recording and screaming, This is going to change everything, Oh, and before someone flips out and thinks Im comparing the impact of The Ramones and Botch, Im not. I am, however, putting into perspective how Botch changed music, the micro-niche that they called home - hardcore. Botch wasnt the first group to mess with song structures, but they were one of the first bands within hardcore to infuse these circus-like maneuvers on their instruments - fellow cohorts included Coalesce, Deadguy, and Converge. Over the years, as the band matured and its members became more experimental with their instruments, the bands sound began to reach beyond reasonable logic and became something that was awe-inspiring.
Unifying Themes Redux is the first of the Botch releases that was given the reissue treatment; the irony of it all, its already a reissue. But given the surge in popularity and the availability of the release (or so I am told), its re-re-release makes sense. This release is a compilation of nearly all the early Botch material - what you have here is the band in its most primitive form leading up to their debut full-length, American Nervoso. This compilation contains fan favorites like God vs. Science, Ebb, and Frequenting Mass Transit, an early version of a song that appeared on We are the Romans. The majority of these songs are rooted in dissonant hardcore with a slight metal flair. There are the occasional implementations of odd time signatures in the songs, a style that became synonymous with the name Botch over the years. One of my favorite cuts is Third Part in a Tragedy, guitarist Dave Knudsons hammer-pull groove of riffs in the song are great - you can hear their influenced in the likes of bands likes Every Time I Die these days.
The album also features two fantastic covers. The first, The Opera Song is a cover of O Fortuna from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. The second is The Lobster Song, a cover of The B-52s classic, Rock Lobster. As brilliant as this song is recorded, live it was even zanier. As a whole, Unifying Themes Redux is a mostly hit but sometimes miss (the varying production levels) compilation of rarities. I wouldnt suggest this album as starting point, but if you find the bands other releases to be enjoyable, this can be nice addition to your collection.
After numerous releases in the form of 7s and compilation appearances, Botch finally sat down and wrote a full-length. The result was American Nervoso and the end product showcased a huge progression in the bands songwriting. Their sound still drew from the well of discordant metal-tinged hardcore, but the sound had been infused with more proficiency and technicality, as well as taking a little off - a sound we know as mathcore these days. Huttons Great Heat Engine kicks things off and is one of the best set-openers to date that Ive ever heard. John Woo is absolutely crushing - the intensity of the music paired with vocalist Dave Verellens screams is music perfection. Dead for a Minute mixes in slower riffs and ambient passages, borrowing a page from Neurosis, and fuses that with their off-kilter sound. Thank God for the Worker Bees sees the band experimenting with electronic elements, foreshadowing the increased use one the bands final full-length. Hives wraps up the album with typical Botch - fantastic guitar riffage, thundering basslines provided by Brian Cook, throaty vocals from Verellen, and pummeling drums of Tim Latona.
Tacked on, in addition to a re-mastering which is barely noticeable, is Stupid Me, a song that also appeared on Unifying Themes Redux. There is also an extended version of Spitting Black and then demo versions of three others songs. These bonuses are a nice treat for a Botch-nerd like myself, but to others, they maybe seem slightly repetitive. American Nervoso may be overshadowed by what followed, but it is a spectacular full-length.
Which brings us to the masterpiece: We are the Romans. From start to finish, this album is brilliance. To Our Friends in the Great White North opens with its frantic riffings and Verellens trademark screams. But the song twists and turns its way through softer and restrained sections, drawing influence from someplace far away from the world of hardcore/metal. Mondrian was a Liar echoes back to American Nervoso with its thick baselines and truly powerful drums. This song makes me wish I had one of those booming soundsystems so I could just crank it to eleven. Transitions from Persona to Object features some on Knudons best guitar work. The breakdown in the first half is unreal and the feedback-fed solo toward the end is something I never heard in this style of music prior.
Botch further their experimentation with the subdued sounds of Swimming the Channel vs. Driving the Chunnel. The song highlights the bass playing of Cook; simplistic drumming and a basic guitar-line is played while Verellen speaks softly. Its a whole other world, and yet it works so well. C. Thomas Howell as the Soul Man rips from the get-go; another punishing assault of previously unimaginable riffing; the drumming in the outro to the song is just as phenomenal.
The album serves up one fantastic song after another; going into detail really is almost pointless. So lets just skip to the final cut, Man the Ramparts, which I still think is a great song title. The song is comprised of repetitive sequences of slow and brooding Neurosis-esque segments interspersed with more-typical Botch choruses. The Gregorian-inspired chants that close the album out seal the deal on what is one the most musical diverse hardcore records. Its doubtful Ill ever hear an album as influential as this in my lifetime.
Included in this reissue is a second disc of goodies totaling eleven tracks. The first seven are demo versions of songs from We are the Romans. These songs showcase a less glossy version of the band, with the sound falling someplace between the end product and a really good live version. Some of the arrangements of the songs are also different in placement and length, and there is some in-between banter by the guys that makes for a good chuckle. The last four cuts are from a live recording; we get two songs from We are the Romans, one from the previous outing, and Vietmam from the bands posthumous EP, An Anthology of Dead Ends.
So there you have it, a trip through the career of Botch. I did my best, but honestly, my words do this band and their recordings little justice. Botch is a band that needs to be listened to. So purchase a copy of each of these recordings, as well as their EP. And you can also purchase their live CD/DVD, 061502, which was a recording of their final show. No collection should be without Botch.

Letter: Law keeps Citizens policyholders from unbiased claims help
Editor: As lawmakers return to Tallahassee for the special session on redistricting, I can't help but lament one other case of unfinished business: Lawmakers, in spite of a more than 650-signature petition urging action, did not repeal language in state law that discriminates against the state's 1.5 million Citizens policyholders.
That language, passed during the 2011 session as part of Senate Bill 408, effectively prevents Citizens policyholders from receiving fair and unbiased claims assistance immediately after a hurricane or other property-damaging event. Compensation limitations created by the bill prevent policyholders from being allowed to pay for professional claims assistance on the initial part of their claim - when they need help most.
The Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (FAPIA) agrees with lawmakers that we must stabilize Florida's insurance market and reduce policyholders' costs in addition to the state's risk in the event of a major storm. But the provision that prevents Citizens policyholders from hiring a public adjuster when they need one the most is simply not fair to consumers. Even Sean Shaw, formerly the state's Insurance Consumer Advocate, has called on lawmakers to fix this, noting: "The Florida Legislature needs to be making it easier for public adjusters to assist homeowners, not harder."
On behalf of policyholders and FAPIA's nearly 500-member adjusters, I urge lawmakers reexamining Citizens solutions to also address the problems with the language inserted into 627.351 during the 2011 Legislative Session. It is a matter of protecting consumers.

In the years leading up to the Second World War, the British war office recognised a need for a small boat that could be used for covert reconnaissance and assault operations.
Such a craft needed to be both small and inconspicuous as well as to be readily transportable, in as compact a space as possible. In response to this Mr. Fred Goatley, then working for Saunders Roe, the aero and marine engineering company based on the Isle of Wight, designed what was to become the first in a long line of canoes, or more properly kayaks, which would be used extensively in various theatres of war. Most famously these craft featured in the Cockleshell Heroes Frankton raid on enemy shipping moored in Bordeaux harbour in December 1942 led by Major (later Lieutenant Colonel) “Blondie” Hasler, later known for his development of self-steering gear for yachts.
The model used in the Frankton raid was the Mark II, and was made of plywood, as were subsequent versions up to and including the Mark VI. The Mark VII, VIII and IX versions were constructed in alloy, especially for use in the Middle and Far East, after plywood versions were found unsuitable for tropical conditions with sharp, hard coral and attack from wood boring beetles and other bugs.
A considerable amount of both variety and ingenuity went into the design and use of these craft. They were constructed for use solo, but also for crews of two, three, or four. Propulsion methods included conventional kayak paddles, but also pedals, sails, and later versions experimented with engines, either battery or petrol powered. Some were fitted with outriggers or inflatable sponsons to improve stability. One powered version was even designed to operate in submersible mode. They could be transported by submarines, destroyers, motor torpedo boats, and long range Catalina flying boats.
The museum’s example is a Mark VII non-motorised version, equipped for sailing. It is constructed in aluminium alloy, riveted to aluminium frames, utilising expertise from the aircraft industry. The hull consists of three sections, each with a watertight bulkhead; this made them easier to be loaded through the hatch of a submarine, whereas some earlier versions had had to be carried in the torpedo tubes. Pintles were fitted at each end of the keel of the centre section over which eyes on the end sections slotted. The sections were then secured together by pins inserted at deck level. The end sections were fitted with watertight hatches to access storage beneath. Additional stability was added by two hollow outriggers filled with table tennis balls, and in some craft the end sections were similarly filled. A lifting plywood rudder facilitated use in shallow water and beaching. Examples used in Burma are known to have incorporated a universal machine gun mounting. Some 200 of these craft were ordered for service in the Far East, with some used operationally before the end of the war.
It is known that the Mark VII was used for training purposes until disposal was deemed necessary. By 1954 it was regarded as obsolete and was superseded. Some were subsequently disposed of as surplus and ended in scrap yards. A few entered private ownership. A number of examples still exist though very few are seaworthy and even fewer retain original features/accessories.
This featured boat article drew heavily on Quentin Rees’ book, The Cockleshell Canoes – British Military Canoes of World War Two, where much additional information and history on these craft can be found.

I vowed to stop, once I gained control.
I was so happy, I could finally touch people. I could hug my friends, kiss my loved ones,...make love. My poisonous, vampiric skin was gone, and I vowed I would never use it again. I would live a normal life, just like I'd always wanted. It was still there though, and I could feel it. Every now and then I forgot that I now control it and I flinched away from someones touch.
After gaining control, I realized how big of an ass Remy was. I left him. I went to college, became a doctor, hoping to make up for all of those I had inadvertently harmed by simply touching them. I met Kitty again, who had also out-grown her boyfriend, Lance.
As the two of us caught up, something happened between us, I'm still not sure why, but we kissed. It was the confusing beginning to our ten-year relationship.
An hour ago, everything fell apart.
A group of anti-mutant radicals had somehow discovered that Kitty was a mutant. She didn't have a chance to phase when one of them snuck up behind her and plunged a knife into her back. I attacked the man, and using old lessons from Mr. Logan, I snapped his neck.
Running to Kitty, I held her in my arms as she bled out, unable to stop the bleeding long enough for help to arrive.
She knew she was going to die, she held her hand to my cheek and smile before uttering in a voice weaker than I had ever heard, "Do it."
For the first time, I broke my vow, absorbing her memories, her thoughts, her power, and what little of her life remained.
Thanks to gaining control over my power, I am now able to access hers at anytime, and I used it.
I went back to the institute, became an X-man again.
I use the power I once vowed never use again. I use it so that what happened to Kathrine, to my wife, never happens to anyone else again.
A/N- I Wrote this as a response to my Guns Prompt Challenge. I also conceived and wrote it in ten minutes so I admit that it probably could be better, but I like it. You can check the challenge out in my forums. But Rogue is one of my favorite all time X-men characters, and I especially love The Evolution version of her, and Kitty for that matter. I don't like gambit all that much, sure he's got a cool power and accent, but I honestly think he's a bit of an ass, sorry to all you gambit fans.
Anyway, Please review and check out the challenges in my Forums

Dhaka-Bhanga train to run on Padma Bridge on 7 September
Train movement on the Padma Bridge will begin in October as trains will travel from Dhaka to Bhanga in Faridpur. Prime minister Sheikh Hasina has been asked to for a schedule for the inauguration of the train in the last week of October. Prior to that, the railway authorities have decided on a trial run on 7 September.
There is an ongoing project for railway connection between both ends of the Padma Bridge. Project authorities have sought a train for the test run, sending letters to general managers of railways in both zones. The train is to be kept prepared on the day before the test run, 6 September.
Railway sources said that the plan is to run the trial train with seven coaches. The engine is manufactured in USA while the coaches brought from China are brand new as well. Railway minister Nurul Islam, members of the parliamentary standing committee on railway ministry, and top level officials of the railway will be travelling on the test run.
It’s a tradition to arrange a test run before the inauguration. And the tradition will be followed. As soon as prime minister Sheikh Hasina gives her schedule, it will be inaugurated officially.Md Qamrul Ahsan, director general, Bangladesh Railway
Earlier, when work of laying the stone-less rail line on the Padma Bridge was completed, a trial train was operated from Bhanga to Mawa end of the Padma Bridge. This time the train will go for a trial run on the entire route.
Railway sources added further that all preparations have already been taken for the inauguration of commercial train movement from Dhaka to Bhanga on the last week of next month. The outline has been sent to prime minister Sheikh Hasina, asking for her schedule in this regard.
Arrangements for the inauguration will begin once the prime minister has confirmed the date. However, the railway authorities haven’t yet decided the number of trains that will be operating daily on this route.
Railway director general Md Qamrul Ahsan told Prothom Alo that it’s a tradition to arrange a test run before the inauguration. And the tradition will be followed. As soon as prime minister Sheikh Hasina gives her schedule, it will be inaugurated officially.
There could be more test runs before the formal inauguration. The project is advancing with the goal of starting train movement up till Jashore next yearAfzal Hossain, director, Padma Bridge Rail Link Project
The distance between Dhaka and Bhanga is about 82 kilometres. The new rail line starting from Dhaka’s Gandaria is connected to the Padma Bridge with a flyover via Keraniganj. Trains will be able to travel till Bhanga via Gendaria, using Dhaka-Narayanganj rail line from Kamlapur. Faridpur and Rajbari however had already have rail links to Bhanga.
The government in 2016 approved a project for the construction of a rail line stretched from Dhaka to Jashore on either ends of the Padma Bridge. Total 172 kilometres of main rail line with 43 kilometres of loop line (extra like on either ends of the stations) is being constructed under this project. Plus, 100 modern passenger coaches have been bought to launch the new train.
Progress rate of the entire project is 82 per cent and the authorities have a target of starting train movement on this route up till Jashore in June next year. Trains would be able to run at the speed of 120-130 kilometres on this route, as mentioned in the project proposal.
There won’t be any rail crossings on this route because underground routes are being constructed at every point where the rail line meets a road. There will be total 20 stations including 14 new and 6 old ones in between Dhaka and Jashore.
The Padma Bridge rail link project was approved on 3 May, 2016. The estimated project cost at that time was about Tk 349.89 billion (34,989 crore). Once the project proposal was revised on 22 May 2018, the cost shot up to Tk 392.46 billion (39,247 crore). Railway officials have warned that the cost can escalate even further.
This rail line is being constructed under Chinese funding on G2G (government to government) basis. Meanwhile, Chinese Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC) is involved in the construction. Chinese Exim Bank is providing a loan of USD 2.67 billion (266.79 crore) for the implementation of the project while the remaining cost is being carried out by Bangladesh.
Padma Bridge Rail Link Project director Afzal Hossain told Prothom Alo on Friday night that all the preparations to inaugurate train movement from Dhaka to Bhanga have already been completed. There will be a test run on 7 September.
There could be more test runs before the formal inauguration. The project’s advancing with the goal of starting train movement up till Jashore next year, added Afzal Hossain.

Financial risk‐taking on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”: A comparison between Austria, Germany, and Slovenia
The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of gender, age, education, and stake on financial risk‐taking in contestants on the television game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.” According to the existing literature on the impact of demographic parameters on financial risk‐taking, it was expected that women should take less risks than men in the low‐stake condition of the game, older contestants should take less risks than their younger counterparts, and contestants with an academic degree should take more risks than contestants without an academic degree. It was also expected that the tendency towards voluntarily quitting the game should increase with increasing stake. In order to test the generality of the obtained results, the study was conducted in three European countries: Austria, Germany, and Slovenia. The total sample comprised 416 Austrian, 331 German, and 199 Slovenian contestants on the television game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.” By means of meta‐analyses it was found that the most important predictor of voluntarily quitting the game was the stake, indicating that the tendency towards quitting the game voluntarily increased with increasing stake, and that in the low‐stake condition women were less inclined to take risks than men. No statistically significant impact of age and academic degree on financial risk‐taking was found. It was also found that older contestants received higher cash pay‐offs, compared to their younger counterparts. The findings accentuate the importance of comparing data from different countries for a better understanding of the sometimes varying results on financial risk‐taking.

ISLAMABAD: PTI’s strategy to change its lead counsel worked out. Naeem Bukhari lived up to Imran Khan’s expectations. Khan sprung a trump card again on Thursday. Or did he?
It all depends on how Sharifs’ legal team responds to the opponents on December 6. However, it saved the moment for PTI Chairman Imran Khan who kept whispering and helping his lead lawyer.
But the danger is not over yet. Both, the complainants and the respondents, would have to show their best cards. Worthy judges and PTI’s legal team put more than a dozen tough and tricky questions for the Sharif counsels Akram Sheikh and Salman Butt.
As the clock struck 9:30 AM silence engulfed the atmosphere. The judges took over their seats at 9:32 AM. Proceedings started with the usual enthusiasm. The crew of media, diplomats, politicians, civil servants, and lawyers flooded the heavily guarded court premises in the foothills of Margalla on a slightly cold morning.
Soon after judges took their seats it was Naeem Bukhari who came up with solid arguments, taking over the rostrum. Then he abruptly started posing tough questions to his opponents. At many points judges endorsed his arguments and told the respondents’ Counsels to get prepared to answer all these complicated questions.
For the first time since Panama Leaks case began the faces of PTI top leadership bloomed. This special moment found the Sharif’s legal team and scores of cabinet members melancholy.
Bukhari with his assistant corporate lawyer Maleeka Bokhari continued his arguments for 208 long minutes. During these moments Imran Khan left his chair many times and went to rostrum, whispering time and again into his ears. He continued encouraging Mr Bukhari and sometimes himself handed over the relevant documents to his legal team.
During the course of hearing everybody looked super serious. Sitting next to Mr Chaudhry, MNA Munaza Hassan sucked on a cough lozenge. Another lawyer predicted, that a case will likely be handed over to a proposed judicial commission.
As Bukhari engaged the courtroom with his prolonged arguments a few of top court's ushers wearing green long gowns were found napping. Some diverted their attention to the portraits, name boards of all chief justices and hundreds of books on law.
Exchange of arguments between Naeem Bukhari and worthy judges continued. Many men from the Special Branch kept occupying seats for government’s legislatures, while PTI workers also followed their footsteps to secure the slightly reddish-brown comfortable chairs for their leaders.
Sitting in the front row, just three chairs away from PTI Chairman, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif also gave some instructions to Salman Butt during the tea break. The entire team of PML-N leaders was seen in a state of shock when one of the judges asked Bukhari to prove the trust deed of Maryam Nawaz. The burden of proof shifted to the respondents to get away with it.
Bukhari took all the questions from the plethora of documents submitted by the Sharif counsels Akram Sheikh and Salman Butt in support of their clients.
Silence engulfed the courtroom once again. Imran Khan left the seat again and again. He even stood near the rostrum when the judges questioned how the PM`s daughter become a beneficiary of Nielsen and Nescoll, the companies registered by Minerva Trust & Corporate Services Ltd.
“Sheikh Sahib you will have to answer all the tricky questions put up by Mr Bukhari,” Justice Azmat Saeed told Sharif’s counsel.
“My lords I will,” responded Akram Sheikh who looked very friendly to the opponents.
Bukhari looked serious, except at a moment when he amused the judges saying, “I’m not a prince but I look like a prince.”
Sheikh stood up three times and guided his colleagues involved in debate where journalists continued to put their ears on badly disturbed sound system, reserved for them, to hear well-articulated arguments presented by Bukhari, who made good of the damage many in PTI believe was done by their first lawyer Hamid Khan. But Hamid told a different story.
“We presented these documents and yes we have the answer,” Akram Sheikh told this correspondent.
Some said it was PTI’s day but majority believed because Sharifs’ counsels are waiting their turn to argue with next Tuesday in the courtroom. Interestingly, many witnessed Minister of States for Science and Technology taking notes on her official diary with a green inked pen soon after Khawaja Asif left the courtroom at 11:35am.
“Submitted documents, PM’s speeches and his children’s different interviews contradicted each other,” the court observed.
Once again a heated moment came when judges observed the respondents were hiding some documents from the court. Then judges asked Naeem Bukhari to resume his argument on December 6 and the proceeding adjourned.

Precautionary Strategies and Household Saving
Why do people save? A strand of the literature has emphasized the role of ‘precautionary’ motives; i.e., private agents save in order to mitigate unexpected future income shocks. An implication is that in countries faced with more macroeconomic volatility and risk, private saving should be higher. From the observable data, however, we find a negative correlation between risk and private saving in cross-country comparisons, particularly in developing countries. We provide a plausible explanation for the disconnect between precautionary-saving theory and the empirical evidence that is based on a model with a richer account for the various modes of ‘precautionary’ behavior by private agents, in cases where institutions are weaker and labor informality is prevalent. In such environments, household saving decisions are intertwined with firms’ investment decisions. As a result, the interaction between saving behavior, broadly construed, and aggregate risk and uncertainty, may be more complex than is frequently assumed.
