Password Management Fundamentals
Password management is a really important facet of securing the stability of your network. It is generally done by the manager of a network or server. The manager has the duty of making certain that just relied on individuals have the capacity to make modifications to the web server or network. By using a password management program, an administrator can establish approvals to ensure that only the people that she or he selects to have the ability to make changes to the server or network can make those modifications. It may likewise be necessary for an administrator to change the password on the server occasionally in order to avoid unapproved accessibility from other individuals on the internet. A password supervisor can assist you do these points. A password manager can protect your network by handling the variety of password adjustments that happen in any type of offered amount of time. There are numerous kinds of password managers offered. Many password supervisors that are in your area installed are made to be made use of with locally set up software application. These programs are made use of to help users handle their very own passwords. There are some password supervisors that require the user to set up the software program and some call for the user to link to a remote server. Linux based password management systems need using sockets for its functions. A socket is an unique connection to a specific web server. These sorts of systems supply the means for numerous users to link to the system and then do numerous tasks, such as developing passwords as well as establishing gain access to levels. A password manager gives a basic device for managing passwords. Basically, it is just a system that enables a single person to manage passwords on a Linux computer system. It also enables a customer to identify the stamina of a password and to transform it if it comes to be too easy to fracture. There are some password supervisors that are developed to be used on a network atmosphere. Instances of this type of system consist of the Linux pass-the-sea package as well as the NSS library. Instances of these systems consist of NSSools (a fork of the openssl energy) and the pass-the-shield password manager. Examples of these systems include the Linux console or ZSH (Zocker). The ZSH (Z Covering) is a shell that can be installed into a program to develop an interactive punctual. This is among the easiest and also least pricey form of password administration. Password supervisors supply the capacity to take care of passwords by saving them in files, on servers, or in external links. Exterior links refer to web-based storage space solutions that allow for simple access to passwords and also other details. Instances of outside links include the 1 Password Manager as well as 1 Password Downloader. Password monitoring is essential due to the fact that it assists to ensure the protection of passwords as well as account details. It additionally helps to lessen the risk of identification burglary, which gets on the rise in today’s culture. Users need to get more information regarding password administration options to ensure that they can take actions to protect themselves from the many security dangers that are targeting companies today.

Physiological bases of behavior. Type of nervous system.
E N D
Type of nervous system • Type of nervous system determines rate of creation of new conditioned reflexes, strength and stability of these reflexes, intensity of external and internal inhibition, rate of irradiation and concentration of nervous processes, the capacity for induction and less or grater possibility for development of abnormalities of higher nervous activity.
Type of nervous systemafter I.P. Pavlov I.P. Pavlov classifies types of higher nervous activity according to several attributes that considered as most reliable indices of higher nervous activity. These were intensity of the excitation and inhibition, the ratio of these processes in central nervous system and their mobility, that is rate at which excitation was replaced by inhibition and wise versa. In experimental practice the following four principle types of higher nervous activity are met: • 1) strong unbalanced type, characterized by predominance of excitation over inhibition; • 2) strong well-balanced active type, characterized by high mobility of nerve processes; • 3) strong well-balanced passive type, characterized by low mobility of nerve processes; • 4) weak type, characterized by extremely weak development of both excitation and inhibition, which cause fatigue and low workability.
The first and second signaling system • The analysis and synthesis of the direct stimuli from surroundings first signal system performs. This includes impressions, sensations. This functional mechanism is common in human and animals. In the course of his social development and labor activity second signal system, which based on using verbal signals, develop. This system includes perception of words, reading and speech. • The development of the second signaling system was incredibly broadened and changed quality of higher nervous activity of cerebral hemispheres. Words are signals of other signals. Man uses verbal signals for everything he perceives through the receptors. Words are abstraction of reality and allow generalization, processing of surrounding primary information. This gives the first general human empiricism and finally science, the instrument of man's higher orientation in the environment and its own self. • So, second signaling system is socially determined. Outside the society, without association with other people second signaling system is not developed.
Nerve substrate of speech • There are two aspects of communication: sensory, involving reading, hearing of speech, and second, the motor aspect, involving vocalization and its control. It is known, that lesion of posterior portion of the superior temporal gyrus, which is called Wernicke's area, and is part of auditory associative cortex, make impossible to the person to interpret the meanings of words. This Wernicke's area is located in dominant hemisphere, which is usually the left. The process of speech includes two principle stages of mentation: formation of thoughts to be expressed and motor control of vocalization. The formation of thoughts is the function of associative areas in the brain. Wernicke's area in the posterior part of the superior temporal gyrus is most important for this ability. Broca's speech area lies in prefrontal and premotor facial region in the left hemisphere. The skilled motor patterns for control of the larynx, lips, mouth, respiratory system and other accessory muscles of speech are all initiated from this area. Articulation means movements of mouth, tongue, larynx, vocal cords, and so forth that are responsible for the intonations, timing, and rapid changes in intensities of the sequential sounds. The facial and laryngeal regions of the motor cortex activate these muscles, and the cerebellum, basal ganglia, and sensory cortex all help control the sequences and intensities of muscle contractions. Transmitters such as dopamine, noradrenaline, serotonin and certain neuropeptides transmit their signals by what is referred to as slow synaptic transmission. The resulting change in the function of the nerve cell may last from seconds to hours. This type of signal transmission is responsible for a number of basal functions in the nervous system and is of importance for e.g. alertness and mood. Slow synaptic transmission can also control fast synaptic transmission, which in turn enables e.g. speech, movements and sensory perception.
Development of signaling systems in children • The ability of a full-term baby to develop temporary connections of the first signaling system arises in a few days after the birth.. In the first six months of life speech sounds mean little to a child. They are simply stimuli to the auditory analyzer like any other sounds. • The first signs of development of the second signaling system appear during the second half of the first year of life. If a person or an object is named and shown to a child many times, reaction to this name develops. • Later after leaning a few words, a child begins to name objects itself. Finally, at a later time he uses a stock of words to communicate with other people.
Functions of speech • Main functions of speech are communicative, regulatory, programming and gives general notion about surroundings. Communicative function permits exchange of information between people. Such a function is also present in animals, which use for this aim vocalization of different intensity to warn about danger or express positive and negative emotions. People use verbal signals for everything he perceives through the receptors. Words are abstraction of reality and allow generalization, processing of surrounding primary information. • Verbal instructions may direct human activity, give suggestion about proper mode of behavior. This is programming function of speech. Programming function of speech involves emotional component also, which may influence to emotional status of a person. As limbic system, which controls emotions, has direct connection with autonomic nervous system. • So speech through emotions may influence to functions of visceral organs. Physician may use this effect for psychotherapy. It is necessary remember about jatrogenic disorders also.
Attention as psychical function • Attention is selectiveness of psychical processes or any kind of mental activity, which helps in getting and processing the information. There are sensory, motor, intellectual and emotional forms of attention, depending to kind of activity of a person. • There are voluntary and involuntary levels of attention. Involuntary attention is present from the birth of man. Voluntary attention develops in life course, due to mental activity, formation of speech function and studying languages.
Physiological mechanisms of attention • Involuntary attention is controlled by lower portion of brain stem and midbrain, where centers of roof reflexes are locates. Voluntary attention appears as a result of higher cortical activity in visual, auditory, motor areas and so on. • Lesion of these cortical areas leads to such disturbances in processing special sensory information as ignore of stimuli of different modality. Intellectual attention appears because of function of prefrontal associative cortical area. The limbic system of the brain is responsible for emotional attention.
Memory as psychical function • Memory function helps fixing of perceived information, keeping it in verbal form or as traces of percept stimuli and recognizing of this information in proper time. Genetic memory keeps information about body structure and forms of its behavior. Biological memory is presented in both philogenetic and ontogenetic forms. The immune memory and psychical memory for instance, belong to ontogenetic memory. • General characteristics of memory are duration, strength of keeping the information and exactness of its recognizing. In man mechanisms of perception and keeping the information are developed better, comparing to other mammalians. • According to duration is concerned short-time and long-time memory; in relation to kind of information – sensory and logic.
Thinking process as psychical function • The prefrontal association area is essential to carrying out thought processes in the mind. This presumably results from some of the same capabilities of the prefrontal cortex that allow it to plan motor activities. • The prefrontal association area is frequently described as important for elaboration of thoughts to store on a short-term basis “working memories” that are used to analyze each new thought while it is entering the braine. The somatic, visual, and auditory association areas all meet one another in the posterior part of the superior temporal lobe. This area is especially highly developed in the dominant side of the brain – the left side in almost all right-handed people. • It plays the greatest single role of any part of cerebral cortex in the higher comprehensive levels of brain function that we call intelligence. This zone is also called general interpretative area, the gnostic area, the knowing area, tertiary association area. It is best known as Wernike’s area in honor of the neurologist who first describes it.
Nerve substrate of memory • It’s discovered the nervous substrate of long-term memory is mostly cerebral cortex. The most important regions are temporal lobes, prefrontal area and hippocampus. Experimental researches revealed that some thalamic nuclei and reticular formation take part in memory function. • Reticular formation gives ascending stimulatory influences to cerebral cortex, which help in keeping awake condition of cortex and provides voluntary attention.
Physiological mechanisms of memory • At the molecular level, the habitation effect in the sensory terminal results from progressive closure of calcium channels through the presynaptic terminal membrane. • In case of facilitation, the molecular mechanism is believed to be following. Facilitated synapse releases serotonin that activates adenylyl cyclase in postsynaptic cell. Then cyclic AMP activates proteinkinase that then causes phosphorylation of proteins. This blocks potassium channels for minutes or even weeks. Lack of potassium causes prolonged action potential in the presynaptic terminal that leads to activation of calcium pores, allowing tremendous quantities of calcium ions to enter the sensory terminal. This causes greatly increased transmitter release, thereby markedly facilitating synaptic transmission. • Thus in a very indirect way, the associative effect of stimulation the facilitator neuron at the same time that the sensory neuron is stimulated causes prolonged increase in excitatory sensitivity of the sensory terminal, and this establishes the memory trace.
Short and long term memory • Eric Kandel showed initially that weaker stimuli give rise to a form of short term memory, which lasts from minutes to hours. The mechanism for this "short term memory" is that particular ion channels are affected in such a manner that more calcium ions will enter the nerve terminal. This leads to an increased amount of transmitter release at the synapse, and thereby to an amplification of the reflex. This change is due to a phosphorylation of certain ion channel proteins, that is utilizing the molecular mechanism described by Paul Greengard. • A more powerful and long lasting stimulus will result in a form of long term memory that can remain for weeks. The stronger stimulus will give rise to increased levels of the messenger molecule cAMP and thereby protein kinase A. These signals will reach the cell nucleus and cause a change in a number of proteins in the synapse. The formation of certain proteins will increase, while others will decrease. The final result is that the shape of the synapse can increase and thereby create a long lasting increase of synaptic function. • In contrast to short term memory, long term memory requires that new proteins are formed. If this synthesis of new proteins is prevented, the long term memory will be blocked but not the short term memory.
Consciousness and its mechanisms • Consciousness is special form of perceiving surroundings and goal-orientated activity of person with interrelation to surroundings. Only social life forms consciousness. It involves life experience of entire society. • This ability of prefrontal areas to keep track of many bits of information could well explain abilities to prognosticate, do plan for the future, delay action in response to incoming sensory signals, consider the consequences of motor actions even before they are performed, solve complicated mathematical, legal, or philosophical problems, correlate all avenues of information in diagnosing rare diseases and control our activities in accord with moral laws.
Notion “emotions” • Emotions are aspect of higher nervous activity that characterize subjective attitude of person to various stimuli arousal in surroundings. • Emotional status reflects actual needs of man and helps in its realization.
Classification of emotions • According to subjective status there are positive and negative emotions. Negative emotions are sthenic (aggression, affect) that stimulate human activity and asthenia (horror, sadness, depression) that inhibit behaviour. Lower or elementary emotions are caused by organic needs of man or animal as hanger, thirst and survival, so on). • In humans even lover emotions undergo to cortical control and are brining up. Social, historical and cultural customs cause also formation of higher emotions that regulates public and private relations in society. Higher emotions appear due to consciousness and may inhibit lower emotions.
Appearance of emotions in ontogenesis • In newborns emotions of horror, anger, pleasure, are revealed just after birth. Hunger, pain, getting cool, wet bedclothes cause in newborn child negative emotions with grimace of suffering and crying. Sudden new sound or loss equilibrium causes horror and loss of free movement causes anger. • Final formation of human emotions develops gradually with maturation of nervous and endocrine regulatory systems and needs up brining.
Biological importance of emotions • Emotions are important element of human behaviour, creation of conditioned reflexes and mentation. • Negative emotions give fusty evaluation of current situation does it useful or not. Mobilizing of efforts helps then to satisfy current needs of person. • Positive emotions help to put in memory scheme of behaviour, which was useful and have lead to success.
External manifestations of emotions • Motor manifestations of emotions are mimic, gesticulation, body posture and walk. • Emotional excitation usually is followed by autonomic reactions as blush, dilation of pupils; increase of arterial pressure, rate of heartbeat and breathing. Level of catecholamines in blood and 17-oxycetosteroides in urine rises also. • Positive emotion may activate parasympathetic division of autonomic nervous system. Severe emotional excitation may result in visceral disorders because of circulatory disturbances and excess hormones in blood.
Nerve substrate of emotions • Several limbic structures are particularly concerned with the affective nature of sensory sensations – that is whether the sensations are pleasant or unpleasant. The major rew3ard centres have been found to be located along the course of the medial forebrain bundle, especially in the lateral and ventromedial nuclei of the hypothalamus. • Less potent reward centres are found in the septum, amygdala, certain areas of the thalamus, basal ganglia, and extending downward into the basal tegmentum of the mesencephalon. The most potent areas for punishment and escape tendencies have been found in the central grey area surrounding the aqueduct of Sylvius in the mesencephalon and extending upward into the periventricular zones of the hypothalamus and thalamus. • Less potent punishment areas are found in some locations in the amygdala and the hippocampus. Electrical recording from the brain show that newly experienced types of sensory stimuli almost excite areas in the cerebral cortex.
Theories of emotions • Biological theory of emotions (P.K. Anochkin) considers that life course includes two main stages of behavioural act: 1) formation of needs and motivations that results from negative emotions and 2) satisfaction of needs that leads to positive emotions it case of complete accordance of image and result of action. Incomplete compliance of suspected and real result of action cause negative emotions and continues behavioural act. • Information theory of emotions (P.V. Simonov)considers that emotions reflect strength human of need and possibility of its satisfaction in current moment. In absence of needs emotions can’t arise. There is also not emotional excitation, if getting excess information about mode of satisfaction this need. Lac of information already causes negative emotions that help to recall to mind life experience and to gather information about current situation.
Neurotransmission of emotional excitation • Emotional excitation is spread in the brain due to variety of neurotransmitters (noradrenalin, acetylcholine, serotonin, dopamine and neuropeptides including opioides. • Positive emotions may be explained by revealing catecholamines and negative emotions, aggression result from production acetylcholine in the brain. Serotonin inhibits both kinds of emotions. • Decrease of serotonin in blood is followed by groundless anxiety and inhibition of noradrenergic transmission results in sadness.
Structure of behavioural act According to theory of functional systems (Anochking) there are such stages of behavioural act: • 1) afferent synthesis; 2) taking of decision; • 3) acceptor of result of action; • 4) efferent synthesis (or programming of action); • 5) performing of action; • 6) evaluation of final result of action. • Due to converging and processing of both sensory information and memory traces afferent synthesis in the brain is performed. Taking of decision is based on afferent synthesis by choosing optimal variant of action.
Neuronal mechanisms of behaviour • In the very lowest animals olfactory cortex plays essential roles in determining whether the animal eats a particular food, whether the smell of a particular object suggest danger, and whether the odour is sexually inviting, thus making decisions that are of life-or-death importance. The hippocampus originated as part of olfactory cortex. • Very early in the evolutionary development of the brain, the hippocampus presumably becomes a critical decision-making neuronal mechanism, determining the importance of the incoming sensory signals. Once this critical decision-making capability had been established, presumably the remainder of the brain began to call on it for the same decision making. Therefore, if the hippocampus says that a neuronal signal is important, the information is likely to be committed to memory. • Thus, a person rapidly become habituated to indifferent stimuli but learns assiduously any sensory experience that causes either pleasure or pain. It has been suggested that hippocampus provides the drive that causes translation of short-term memory into long-term memory.

Efforts to vaccinate homeless populations stonewalled by ID red tape
South Africa’s Covid-19 vaccination programme currently requires that people enter an identity number when registering on government’s electronic system and present an identity document when they go to get jabbed. This makes it hard for homeless people without IDs to get vaccinated. Siyabonga Kamnqa reports from the streets of Cape Town.
Daylin Jacobs coughs heavily as he shares an entjie (cigarette) with a friend who, like him, is also living on the street under one of the bridges in Cape Town.
When asked if he has or will be vaccinated, Jacobs says, “My broe you can’t ask me about vaccination. No one cares about coming here and educating us about Covid-19 or the vaccination process. We are just a forgotten people, nobody gives f*k*l about us. Right now I am desperate for a job to provide for the mother of my two laaities. I am a strong and healthy man and don’t show any symptoms of this Covid-19,” he says as he continues coughing.
But 42-year-old Nokuzola Mzizi who sleeps on the side of the road next to the Cape Town bus terminus says she looks forward to being vaccinated.
“Yes, I’ve registered [with] the help of a friend who works at the library. I am just waiting for the response to go and get the vaccine. I have no underlying illnesses that I know of,” she says. “It’s mostly flu because of the winter season and the fact that I sleep outside. Otherwise, I am fine,” she says.
For people who are homeless that approach the shelters, however, there are often more support services available.
Having been vaccinated recently, Gavin Johnson (56) says he is “fit as a fiddle” and didn’t feel any side effects. Johnson, a father of three from Mitchells Plain has been living on the streets since 2007 after his divorce.
He is now among the people who are accommodated at the Culemborg shelter in the Cape Town CBD.
When the announcement of vaccination came, Johnson says he was “the first to jump out of bed” with excitement and went to register.
“It was very important that I get the vaccine for my own health. I am glad that it went smoothly and I couldn’t feel any side effects except for some minor headache. I would encourage everyone out there, especially the homeless, to get vaccinated. It is definitely the right thing to do,” he says.
Johnson says he is also grateful for the regular visits by healthcare workers who come every two weeks for health checks at the Culemborg site.
“It is not only about the pandemic, but our health is prioritised here,” he says.
20% refusing vaccination
City of Cape Town’s Homeless Agency Committee chair Ncumisa Mahangu says the site currently accommodates 118 people who are homeless. Mahangu says about 20% of people who are homeless and in the shelters and sites that the City supports are refusing to be vaccinated. She says it is mostly women who are reluctant to get the jab. The most common reason cited, Mahangu says, is that the women believe the vaccine will make them infertile.
“We don’t know where this myth comes from but they often say that they are scared that they won’t get pregnant if they vaccinate. And we have to respect their wishes not to be vaccinated, but we are encouraged by the majority of others who are willing to take the jab,” Mahangu says.
The other challenge, Mahangu says, is underlying illnesses such as tuberculosis, diabetes, HIV, and high blood pressure. She says those with underlying illnesses can collect their medication at healthcare centres in the city.
Director of the Cape Town-based organisation U-Turn, Jean-Ray Knighton-Fitt tells Spotlight that the biggest challenge to get people who are homeless vaccinated is the need for an ID to register. U-turn is an organisation working with people who are homeless.
“Many people sleeping rough have had their IDs either stolen, lost, or removed when their belongings are moved by others. This is a serious hurdle to being vaccinated, says Knighton-Fitt. “This is further aggravated with government offices not functioning optimally during lockdown, making it more difficult to replace IDs.”
It costs R160 to replace an identity document.
Knighton-Fitt says a recent survey of U-turn clients found that 70% of people who are homeless do not have an ID and the vast majority cannot afford a replacement.
“This same problem will also impact voting during local elections. In addition to the struggle around IDs, there is also potentially a lack of information to allow people who are homeless to make an informed decision,” he says.
The pandemic, according to Knighton-Fitt, has left more people unemployed and sleeping on our streets than ever before. He says it is now more difficult for someone facing homelessness to leave the streets during this pandemic.
“Both people who find themselves recently homeless and those who have faced this for longer, struggle to access resources needed for survival during the higher level lockdowns.”
But identity documents, says Knighton-Fitt, are not the only hurdle people who are homeless face when accessing services. “There is a desperate need for clinics that are ‘friendly to people facing homelessness’ or for the government to provide nurses to assist at drop-in centres for people who are homeless.”
Knighton-Fitt says some U-turn clients have reported being turned away from clinics because of their appearance or because they have been unable to bathe. “This is obviously not ideal, he says,” particularly given the extreme circumstances and health risks associated with sleeping rough on the streets.”
When Spotlight visited the District Six clinic in Cape Town, a healthcare worker was attending to a person who was living on the streets. The healthcare worker dismissed claims that they do not attend to people who are homeless. She says most of the people who are homeless that they attend to present with TB, HIV and chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure.
“It would be unfair to say we treat them badly or turn them away. There are just instances when some of them rock up here intoxicated. But we allow them to sober up before attending to them,” says the healthcare worker.
At least one person who is homeless that Spotlight spoke to, Edgar Boois (37) who identifies as “she”, said as a multi-drug resistant tuberculosis patient she always ensures that she collects her medication at the District Six clinic.
‘Everyone is catered for’
During a recent ‘fact-finding mission’ to some shelters for people who are homeless in Cape Town, Western Cape Health MEC Nomafrench Mbombo stressed that “everyone is catered for in the healthcare system, including the homeless” and that they will not be left behind during the vaccination period.
Mbombo said there are thousands of people who are homeless who still need assistance.
“This is what compelled me to go to Hope Exchange (one of the shelters),” she said.
“The purpose is to determine the number of homeless people eligible to register for Covid-19 vaccination, how many have been registered and to find out from the ones that have not registered what is the issue and how they can be assisted.”
Mbombo also noted the challenges with IDs.
She said at the one shelter 57 of the 93 people who are homeless do not have IDs and cannot be registered. According to her, the Western Cape Health Department will work with civil society organisations and the Department of Home Affairs to address issues with IDs.
Attempts to get more detail on these plans were unsuccessful.
Home Affairs spokesperson Siya Qoza only said the department is working closely with the Department of Health to ensure that all people who are homeless receive IDs. He provided no further details.
Spokesperson for the Western Cape Department of Social Development Esther Lewis told Spotlight the department funds 28 shelters in the province and also funds social workers at the shelters who help with reintegration efforts. This includes supporting people who are homeless to get ID documents.
Falling through the cracks
At present, people who are homeless who do not have IDs cannot register to be vaccinated or qualify for government’s social relief of distress grant.
Western Cape health department spokesperson Mark van Der Heever says having an identity document and not just knowing the ID number, is a crucial part of the registration process as this serves as verification of someone’s identity.
“This confirmation is done on-site when someone with an appointment needs to present their ID to verify it is the correct person. While we acknowledge this is a barrier, we aim to ensure we reach and vaccinate all eligible persons. As such we have engaged the relevant National Departments of Health and Home Affairs on a solution. We are drafting a submission to the National Department of Health to re-affirm our request for a solution to assist the undocumented people groups,” Van der Heever says.
When Spotlight visited the Culemborg site in Cape Town, many of them said their ID issues were sorted out by the City of Cape Town.
A complex problem
“Homelessness is a complex problem which requires action from many departments and sectors,” National Health Department spokesperson Popo Maja tells Spotlight. Maja says health services at Primary Health Care facilities are available to everyone free of charge. This includes people who are homeless.
He says to get vaccinated, people who are homeless will access any public or private vaccination site and there is no need for specific sites for those who are homeless.
Maja agrees that the biggest problem with vaccinating people who are homeless is their lack of documentation.
“An ID number (or equivalent) is currently a requirement for registration and vaccination. The Department of Health is working on a solution which aims to address the issue of undocumented persons,” says Maja.
He did not provide details or timeframes.
Maja also couldn’t provide statistics for the number of people who are homeless that have been vaccinated so far.
“The department does not keep statistics on the number of homeless people vaccinated but only in terms of age of people regardless of their socio-economic status,” he says. DM/MC

When my mind is racing, and I find sleep impossible, there’s a fun little game I play with God to focus my mind on Him. Often times, this simple act of discipline is all it takes to calm my anxieties and bring rest.
The sin of sexual addiction runs rampant in our world and people are hurting! Families are being destroyed. Hearts are being broken. Lives are being ruined and even lost! The enemy is winning far too many battles. It can be easy to question where God is in all of these stories. To begin to doubt His sovereignty and His loving care. But Scripture reminds us that He is there. He is working, even when we can’t see it. The enemy may seem to be winning the battles, but the war is already won. I would like to share a Psalm that I hope will be a great encouragement to the precious women who are hurting so badly right now because of it.
Upon the recommendation of our therapist, I started to read The Anxiety Cure, by Dr. Archibald Hart. It is the most helpful, informative, yet Biblically sound resource on this topic I’ve ever found. Reading it changed so much about how I think about Anxiety and Depression because it helped me to actually understand the physiological aspects.

5 Sam Bass
Sam Bass may not have been the most well known outlaw but he gets his name on the list because he pulled off the same crimes that the James-Younger Gang and the Wild Bunch did only his first one outdid them all. In his very first robbery that we have on record, Bass and his accomplices stole $60,000 from the Union Pacific gold train from San Francisco. It was the all-time largest robbery of a Union Pacific train. Bass and his gang continued their activities and despite never netting more than $500 at a time, they got the attention of the Pinkerton agents. They took the sick father of Jim Murphy, a member of Bass’ gang, into custody, forcing Murphy to become an informant. And so in 1878, Sam Bass and his gang were ambushed and he was shot and killed at the age of 27.
4 The James-Younger Gang
We’re cheating a bit here because it seems unfair to give all the infamy to Jesse James. The gang was made up of former Confederate soldiers and guerilla fighters, many of whom were already notorious for war crimes, including Frank and Jesse James. The two brothers joined Cole Younger and his brothers and began a series of daring robberies of trains and banks. They got so good that they sometimes even got theatrical. The James brothers specifically were known for their discipline and attempts to leave train passengers alone while stealing primarily what was in the train safe. That is probably the source of the Robin Hood image, along with a series of newspaper columns about the gang’s exploits written by a fellow ex-confederate. Eventually, it failed them however. The gang bungled an operation and only the James brothers got away. Frank settled down to a quiet life on the straight and narrow but Jesse wasn’t interested. He tried to get together a new gang but eventually was betrayed and killed by one of his own who was after the reward money.
3 Belle Starr
Myra Maybelle Shirley Reed Starr played piano and was a graduate of the Carthage Female Academy and her knowledge came to good use. For example, she always rode sidesaddle and wore a black velvet riding habit and plumed hat. Obviously this was in addition to the two pistols she carried and the cartridge belts across her hips. Her first husband, Jim Reed, was involved with a number of outlaw bands, including the Starr family. After Jim’s death, Belle married Sam Starr, a Cherokee Indian. She settled down very happily in Indian Territory where she managed a lucrative operation of cattle rustlers, horse thieves and bootleggers and earned the title Queen of the Oklahoma Outlaws. Her death is almost as mysterious as those of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. She was shot twice at the age of 40 on the way home from visiting a neighbor and to this day nobody can say why or even by whom.
2 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Although their gang was actually called the Wild Bunch, Robert Leroy Parker (aka Butch Cassidy) and Harry Alonzo Longabaugh (aka The Sundance Kid) really got their notoriety as a pair when they escaped from the law and eventually were killed in a shootout in Bolivia. Their gang was known for robbery of banks, trains and company payrolls and although they were involved in shootouts with lawmen neither was ever actually charged with murder. But the Pinkerton Detectives were after them and they eventually escaped, along with Longabaugh’s girlfriend and Etta Place, to Argentina to begin a quite life of ranching. But only a few years later the three were back to their standard robberies of banks and payrolls. The Sundance Kid eventually escorted Etta Place back to the States but quickly returned to rejoin Butch Cassidy for one more attempt to walk the straight and narrow. But in 1908 in Bolivia, two masked Americans stole the payroll of a mining company in the area and the police were quickly tipped off. They gathered the mayor, the police and soldiers that were stationed nearby and a shootout ensued. The two American bandits were discovered inside their house riddled with bullet holes, including final holes in their heads that made it appear that one gave his wounded accomplice a mercy shot and then killed himself. They were buried in unmarked graves which haven’t been found and so there’s no proof that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ever really went down.
1 Billy the Kid
William Henry McCarty, Jr. went by a number of names but got his most famous one from his young age, even younger looking face and his fun-loving personality. Despite being arguably the most notorious outlaw of the Wild West, he got his start in crime stealing cheese and later being found in possession of goods that had actually been stolen by a fellow boarder. He escaped from jail and drifted around the west as a ranch hand, horse thief, cattle rustler and cattle guard. In New Mexico, Billy got caught up in a local feud that was known as the Lincoln County War. The new governor of New Mexico, Lew Wallace, promised an amnesty for those involved but Billy didn’t qualify. Nonetheless, Wallace said he would cut a deal but ended up abandoning the Kid in jail. Billy the Kid escaped and spent the next couple of years on the lam, rustling cattle and running from the law. He was even caught after a dramatic siege but once again managed to escape from prison. Only a few months later however, he was finally cornered and shot by Sherriff Pat Garret at the ripe old age of twenty one.

WHEN Lisa Andrew married her policeman lover, she thought their future would
be perfect – but it was just the beginning of a nightmare.
She later found out he had been using police records as a “dating agency” to
track down vulnerable women and start AFFAIRS with them.
Peter Bunyan was a serial love rat who was abusing his position as a Police
Community Support Officer.
The sneaky cheat — who Lisa has divorced — kept a mobile phone hidden at his
station and used it to organise liaisons with his lovers.
He has now begun a seven-year jail sentence after being convicted of
misconduct in public office.
Lisa, 40, from Redruth, Cornwall, had no idea the man she had been married to
for more than a decade had been cheating on her and betraying his duty at
She says: “Peter told me he had been suspended for making an over-zealous
arrest. I had no reason to doubt him, so I believed every word he said.
“I stood by him without a clue as to what was really going on until September
2011, when the true story made the local newspaper.
“It was such a humiliating way to discover my husband had been cheating.
“I was in the hairdresser’s getting my roots done when my mum phoned me,
telling me to look in the paper.
“It was devastating — I thought our life together was perfect.”
Peter’s shocking five-year trail of deceit had been hidden for years.
He had met women for sex at their homes while he was supposed to be on patrol
and even had a tryst with one in a police office.
The PCSO accessed his force’s confidential criminal intelligence system to
target vulnerable single mothers and victims of domestic violence.
He carried out checks on the women and their former partners and went on
“welfare” visits to their homes.
He also encouraged a woman who had mental health problems to send him naked
photographs of herself to his work email address.
Lisa says: “When I realised that he was going to be standing trial for a
string of charges, after engaging in a sexual relationships with women while
at work, I was appalled.
“It was the ultimate betrayal.
“I was completely clueless and had absolutely no suspicions — he hid
everything from me so well.”
After joining Devon and Cornwall police in 2003, randy Peter put his sexual
appetite before his public duty when he bedded four women between 2006 and
2011 while he was supposed to be working — sleeping with one lover up to ten
Lisa says: “He was seen as a pillar of the community and in his police uniform
he seemed so trustworthy.
“It turns out I didn’t really know the man I married.
“At home he was the perfect husband and a model father to our daughters —
Emily, now 12, and Rosie, nine — so to discover he was a compulsive liar
came as a massive shock.
“But it’s clear now that he was living a split life.
“As a family, we enjoyed going out for meals, going on holiday and doing
things all families do but I know now that for Peter it was all an act.
“Breaking my heart was one thing but doing it to our daughters was something
else entirely. It was unforgivable.
“What’s worse is that they had to put up with the gossip in the school
“I rang Peter and he denied it all but that didn’t matter to me.
“I told him it was over between us and that it was his mess and he had to sort
it out. He sat the girls down and explained his actions.
“It wasn’t fair that they were hearing rumours. They were only young but they
needed to hear it from him.”
The family continued living together for three weeks, while Peter found
Lisa says: “The damage he caused was irreversible. There was no way we could
have got through it.
“We’d had our ups and downs but this was a whole new level.
“The women Peter was sleeping with were vulnerable and that disgusted me.”
Prior to his conviction, the sordid details of Peter’s affairs were heard by
Lisa said: “Because I didn’t go to court, I only recently found out that one
of Peter’s lovers had mental health issues. I didn’t want to be seen to
support him. Others were victims of domestic violence or single parents. He
turned up to one woman’s address with a colleague after she called the
police but returned alone after — for the ‘welfare visit’ which ended with
her performing oral sex on him.
“They struck up a sexual relationship and the woman began sending naked
pictures of herself to his workplace.
“The single mum met Peter when he came to take a statement from her after she
reported her partner for domestic violence.
“I also heard that Peter drove one of his lovers to a neighbourhood police
office to have sex with her there late at night.
“He bought some of them mobile phone top-ups so they could send him naked
Peter sent sexual texts to women while on duty, with one reading ‘Woah, yum’
and ‘More please’.
He met the fourth woman while on foot patrol and later arrived at her home.
They then developed a sexual relationship.
At Taunton Crown Court, Peter denied 12 charges of misconduct in a public
office but accepted he had been “negligent” in failing to attend to his
duty. He admitted wasting police time but insisted he had kept his radio on
during the encounters.
He also confessed failing to correctly fill in police notebooks and records
over the course of the affairs — leaving some days blank.
Peter, 40, was found guilty of eight of the counts following a three-week
He was convicted of sleeping with four women and illegally accessing data
relating to three lovers on the force’s criminal information system.
He was also found guilty of accessing the system to look up the details of a
man without reason and was jailed in March for seven years.
Lisa says: “For a long time I thought I would never be able to trust anyone
again. I was mortified at having to go to a sexual health clinic with my mum
while I was in my late thirties.
“I thought Peter was my soulmate and to put me and the girls through all he
did was horrendous.
“But I have now been lucky enough to meet my new man Reuben.
“We are managing to provide a stable home for my daughters and I am so happy
to have him in my life.
“He and I knew each other when we were 17, but bumped into each other again
after our relationships broke down.
“We hit it off and are now engaged. I couldn’t be happier.”

I made this the other day and it was just excellent. The only thing I changed is I served the asparagus warm on the greens -- the dressing then warms up a little, and the flavour mixes in a little better with the greens. Also I added some lime zest to the dressing. Overall superb recipe, thanks!

Classical World: All That Matters
By Alastair J. L. Blanshard
Modern Western European culture would have been impossible without the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome. The disciplines of philosophy, drama, history, and science all owe an immense debt to these two Mediterranean cultures. At the same time, there are aspects of this legacy that are less worthy of celebration. Slavery went hand in hand with democracy. The pursuit of beauty coexisted with breathtaking acts of brutality. This book explores the world of the ancient Greeks and Romans and the distinctive cultures they produced. It charts the rise and fall of empires as well as examining the intricacies of domestic life. The opening sections of the book give a chronological overview of the ancient world. They orientate the reader to the key places, actors, and historical trends. The remaining chapters focus on some of the most important and influential aspects of Greco-Roman culture including ancient festivals, art, architecture, religion, and medicine.

By Elizabeth Peters
Amelia Peabody is Elizabeth Peters' most brilliant and best-loved creation, a thoroughly Victorian feminist who takes the stuffy world of archaeology by storm with her shocking men's pants and no-nonsense attitude!In this first adventure, our headstrong heroine decides to use her substantial inheritance to see the world. On her travels, she rescues a gentlewoman in distress - Evelyn Barton-Forbes - and the two become friends. The two companions continue to Egypt where they face mysteries, mummies and the redoubtable Radcliffe Emerson, an outspoken archaeologist, who doesn't need women to help him solve mysteries -- at least that's what he thinks!'Think Miss Marple with early feminist gloss crossed with Indiana Jones... Dastardly deeds, whirlwind romances, curious mummies and all the fun and intrigue of Egyptian excavations, with a heroine who wields a sturdy parasol rather than a magnum.

Sometimes I look in the mirror and I see everything I am. And I don’t like what I see. If I stand there long enough, I start to hate myself. Why can’t I look beautiful? I stand there and I hate myself because of the way my legs look – disfigured, large and difficult to maneuver. I hate myself for not being thin. I hate everything about myself. And then it all spirals from there. You’re not good enough. You’re ugly and you’re worthless. No one wants to be seen with you. You have nothing to offer. I’m not alone in these thoughts. These thoughts are your thoughts. And when you look in the mirror, you sometimes start hating yourself too.
I have so many beautiful friends. Thin, tall friends. Beautiful women with long hair, straight teeth, manicured fingernails, perfect eyebrows, nice clothing. Beautiful women with amazing legs that can carry them wherever they go. And I love my friends, but sometimes I hate them. At least I think I do. But when I really think about it, I know it’s not true. No, it’s not hate – it’s envy. A small little word for such a big thing.
Envy eats you up from the inside. It starts as a little whisper in your heart. Tiny, almost unnoticeable. But the more you allow the whisper to grow, the more it completely poisons your soul. Envy is the best friend of comparison. And ladies, we all get caught into the comparison trap. And it’s toxic. It’s completely savage in how much it can tear you apart from the inside out.
And that’s the thing – that’s the crazy, ironic thing. You can be a super model, with a “perfect” body and seemingly have it all. But if you don’t have a beautiful soul, you’re not really beautiful at all. Because the inside shines out, and that’s what people really see. That’s what God sees.
Like that time when Samuel was looking for a king. God had sent him to the place where the king He had appointed would be. But He didn’t tell him which one it would be. So Samuel traveled there, and stood among Jesse’s sons, looking. He looked at these handsome, strong men and thought they’d be the perfect fit. But they weren’t. Imagine Samuel’s surprise when God revealed the chosen king was just a young, small shepherd. So young that he wasn’t even called in to meet Samuel in the first place. But, God loved David so much – He loved David’s heart.
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The LORD doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7
And David loved God. David served God well. David became someone known as “a man after God’s own heart.” David might not have had it all together that day when Samuel went looking. But God could see his beauty. Do you want to know the real truth? God can see yours too.
You are beautiful. You are unique. You are beautifully unique when you are serving God. Like David, He’s created you for a purpose. He’s given you specific talents and abilities that you can use to serve Him well. And when you do these things, girl, you’re the most beautiful creature on earth.
Sometimes I look in the mirror and I see everything I am. And I can appreciate what I see, even if it’s not considered to be beautiful to others. I see grey hair that I’ve decided not to cover up, because each grey hair reminds me I’m blessed to be growing older (and hopefully wiser). I see non manicured hands, and I am blessed because I’m and to use them to serve others and not be afraid of breaking a nail. I see my deformed legs, and even though it’s my worst, most awful feature, I know these legs still work. They still carry me through my days, and every day make me stronger in some way.
Girl, sometimes I look in the mirror and on a rare occasion, I see what God sees. Or at the very least, what others see of Him in me. And in those moments, I shine. In those moments, I feel confident and beautiful. In those moments, the longer I look, the more I love myself. You’re serving Him well. You’re the only one who can do what He’s asked of you. God is pleased with the work you’re doing here, so keep it going, girl! If you stand there long enough, looking for the Spirit in your life instead of your outward appearance, you’ll see it too. And you’ll see that you’re more beautiful than you thought you could be. You’ll see that every time you serve Him, you’ll just get more and more breathtaking.
I have many beautiful friends. Women who appear more beautiful each time I see them because I can see His light shining in their hearts. And it’s more powerful than the new outfit they’re wearing. Or their gorgeous hair. Or their manicures. It’s breathtaking and it lasts forever. And I don’t envy them then – but thank God for giving me such lovely women to encourage me and walk alongside me and to serve with. Instead of being toxic, it’s like sweet perfume for the soul.
Girl, go check yourself. What do you see? What do you really see? Find your inner beauty, and let it shine for Him. You are stunningly beautiful!

“It’s a very difficult situation, and it’s getting worse,” said Whitbourne Mayor Hilda Whelan of the ongoing health care crisis in Whitbourne where urgent care services continue to operate at a drastically reduced capacity at the Dr. William H. Newhook Community Health Centre.
Due to severe staffing shortages, the emergency room at the centre was closed last year. Since then, the health centre has resumed urgent care services, albeit in a limited capacity with Eastern Health announcing closures to regular hours nearly every week this year.
“The aim was to have seven days a week, 12 hours a day (service),” said Whelan of the urgent care services which began in March. Currently, it is only operating three days a week, from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Worse yet, the hours are inconsistent and susceptible to last-minute changes.
The reason for such unpredictability, said Whelan, is a continued lack of manpower. There is only one full-time doctor, she said. The other doctors who work at the care centre rotate constantly.
“This is what’s happening, they’re just moving people around…They don’t have new doctors, and if they’ve got them, they’re not placing them,” said Whalen. “It’s going to be a while before we get our 12 hours. We can’t even get the three days on a consistent basis.”
The closure of smaller clinics has had negative ramifications throughout the province, according to Whelan. She reproached the recommendation of Dr. Pat Parfrey, co-chair of Health Accord NL, to close small clinics. Whelan described that suggestion as “overpass syndrome.”
“The hospitals can’t handle it,” she said. “You have to have these clinics.”
She argued the lack of round-the-clock emergency care in smaller towns puts a strain on ambulance services and could cause “big trouble” down the road.
Whelan herself now must travel to Carbonear to receive a treatment that she used to get in Whitbourne. On her most recent trip, she said, there were about 50 people waiting to be seen, some of whom were sitting on the floor. She said that she waited around six hours to be treated.
“This is exactly why these small clinics like ours should not be closed,” said Whelan. “There’s 10,000 people in this area here, that use the Whitbourne clinic… and this is why the hospitals can’t handle it. These small clinics were geographically placed in a catchment to get all these people for emergencies and doctors’ appointments. And now with them closing up, the big hospitals can’t help it.”
The issue is that there simply aren’t enough doctors to keep such clinics in operation.
Whalen blames the practice-ready assessment policies at Memorial University for the Province’s inability to acquire a sufficient number of new doctors. The problem, she said, is not a lack of qualified applicants. “I know personally that they have a lot of applications, good applications,” she said, “I know there’s a lot of doctors being interviewed and a lot of doctors who would like to come here.”
Delays in licensing the applicants are slowing the process of getting new doctors to work on the island, Whelan maintained. But the practice-ready assessments are a necessary step for international medical graduates to become licensed doctors in the province.
“The problem is even though they have many highly qualified applicants, when they get them here, they have to wait a year or two before they can begin practice-ready assessment,” said Whelan. This is due to the limited number of seats available for practice-ready assessments at Memorial, she said.
The university was previously only taking seven people at a time for practice-ready assessment, said Whelan, but they’ve recently increased this number to 16 seats, twice a year. “That’s not good enough,” said Whelan, who said the university should not be in control of the assessments in the first place. She said they should be under government jurisdiction as is the case in the majority of Canada.
What is clear is that Whelan is not afraid to speak her mind on this subject. “I’ve been down their throats a lot,” she admitted, referring to the Board of Regents at Memorial. She is also in frequent contact with government health care officials and the Premier to voice her concerns. “It needs to be done,” said Whelan. “We’ve been in a crisis for a year and a half. That can’t be.”
The provincial member for the area, Placentia-St. Mary’s MHA Sherry Gambin-Walsh, declined two requests from The Shoreline to answer questions about urgent health care in Whitbourne. Gambin-Walsh suggested the paper discuss the matter with the communication director of the Department of Health and Community Services. The communications director, in turn, referred the request to the media relations manager for NL Health Services, who was likewise unable to answer questions on the matter.

CONSERVATION GROUPS APPEAL SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY’S APPROVAL OF RECREATIONAL COMPLEX WITHOUT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Request for Environmental Review of Development Project near Lake Arrowhead
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 28, 2004
Contacts: Patrick Marley, Save our Forest Association, (909) 338-4636
Peter Jorris, San Bernardino Valley Audubon Society, (909) 867-3536
Kassie Siegel, Center for Biological Diversity, (909) 659-6053, x. 302, (909) 961-7972 (cell)
Steve Farrell, Sierra Club, (310) 362-8410
Today the San Bernardino Valley Audubon Society, Sierra Club Mountains Group of the San Gorgonio Chapter, Save our Forest Association, and the Center for Biological Diversity filed an appeal to the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors requesting the appropriate environmental review of a large recreational complex in the San Bernardino Mountains. The Church of the Woods Project, located in Rim Forest near Lake Arrowhead, includes a school for 860 students, temporary amphitheater, skate park and recreational facility, auditorium and ministry building, ballfield, chapel, retreat, and maintenance building (“the Project”). The Project is proposed for a dense grove of coniferous forest adjacent to the San Bernardino National Forest. The administrative appeal challenges the Planning Commission’s approval of the Project based upon a “Mitigated Negative Declaration,” a cursory level of environmental review allowed only for projects with no possibility of causing major environmental impacts.
“We support the Church of the Woods congregation and their desire for a larger facility, but cannot allow the County to ignore the laws designed to protect public safety, quality of life, the environment and imperiled plants and animals,” said Peter Jorris of the Audubon Society. “The County of San Bernardino must follow the law and fully disclose, analyze, and mitigate the Project’s impacts.”
The appeal seeks review and disclosure of issues related to air quality, traffic congestion, habitat for endangered and threatened species, land use, noise, aesthetics and the cumulative impact of all projects in the area, prior to any development at Rim Forest.
The County has failed to conduct even the most basic air quality studies. According to the South Coast Air Quality Management District the Central San Bernardino Mountains has the highest ozone contamination in the entire South Coast Air Basin. The South Coast Air Basin, including much of Los Angeles and the Inland Empire, has one of the worst air quality ratings in the U.S. The County has not required an assessment of what impacts the increased ozone emissions or carbon monoxide “hot spot” will have on the children or adults using the facility. Nor has the County disclosed the amount of particulate pollution the Project will generate. One study found that in San Bernardino County alone, 486 deaths per year are attributable to the elevated levels of particulate pollution. Children are especially vulnerable to air pollution.
Many residents in the community have expressed concern that the complex, with over 500 new parking spaces, will cause problems with traffic congestion in the rural mountain town. The complex would require the County to place several new traffic lights in the area, and expand roads to meet the new facility demands. The project is located on a current evacuation route and the size of the project has caused alarm from many residents, especially after the recent Old Fire of 2003.
The project site is also home to several threatened and endangered species including the San Bernardino Flying Squirrel, which occurs only in the San Jacinto and San Bernardino Mountains and is believed to have disappeared from the San Jacinto.
“We support the congregation’s decision to move to a new facility, but the County is violating the law by failing to prepare an Environmental Impact Report,” said Kassie Siegel of the Center for Biological Diversity. “An Environmental Impact Report will lead to a safer and cleaner project proposal that is less damaging to wildlife and National Forest.”
Today’s appeal to the Board of Supervisors, requests that the County require a full Environmental Impact Report before approving the Project. The County initially requested an EIR for the project, but, in a highly unusual move, changed its decision mid-way through the approval process.

- Riddhima Kapoor Sahni shared a throwback photo on Tuesday
- The photo is from her childhood
- She captioned it with red heart icons
Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor's daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni flipped through the pages of her family album and shared a million-dollar throwback picture on Tuesday. The photo is from her childhood. In the vintage photo, Rishi Kapoor can be seen posing with wife Neetu and tiny Riddhima for the camera. His striped t-shirt and cap look cool. Neetu Kapoor and Riddhima can be seen twinning in multicoloured tops. The actress completed her look with a white hat, just like Rishi Kapoor's. Sharing the photo on her Instagram story, Riddhima Kapoor Sahni captioned it with red heart icons. Rishi Kapoor died on April 30 in Mumbai last year.
Rishi Kapoor was diagnosed with cancer in 2018 and underwent treatment in New York the next year. He returned to Mumbai in September 2019 and after few months, died at the HN Reliance Foundation Hospital at the age of 67 last year.
Riddhima Kapoor Sahni frequently shares old pictures of the evergreen actor on her Instagram story. Some of her previous posts are here:
On the day of Rishi Kapoor's death, Riddhima remembered him in an emotional post, where she wrote how much she will be missing her FaceTime sessions with him: "Papa, I love you. I will always love you - RIP my strongest warrior. I will miss you every day. I will miss your FaceTime calls every day! Until we meet again papa, I love you," she wrote in her post.
Rishi Kapoor was known for his performances in films like Bobby, Rafoo Chakkar, Khel Khel Mein, Laila Majnu, Prem Rog, Saagar, Nagina, Honeymoon, Chandni, Heena, Bol Radha Bol and Kapoor And Sons, to name a few. He was last seen in the 2019 film The Body.


Uh-Oh. Another fiscal conservative shows true colors.
Gov. Mark Sanford used state aircraft for personal and political trips, often bringing along his wife and children — contrary to state law regarding official use, an Associated Press investigation has found.
According to state budget law, “Any and all aircraft owned or operated by agencies of the State Government shall be used only for official business.”
Records reviewed by the AP show that since he took office in 2003, the two-term Republican has taken trips on state aircraft to his sons’ sporting events, hair and dentist appointments, political party gatherings and a birthday party for a campaign donor.
On March 10, 2006, a state plane was sent to pick up Sanford in Myrtle Beach and return him to Columbia, the state capital, at a cost of $1,265 — when his calendar showed his only appointment in Columbia was “personal time” at his favorite discount hair salon. He had flown to Myrtle Beach on a private plane and attended a county GOP event.
The trip home on the state aircraft took off at 1:50 p.m. and arrived in Columbia at 2:35 p.m., enabling the governor to keep his plans for a 3 p.m. haircut across town. There were no other appointments on his official schedule; the trip back to Columbia would have taken about three hours by car.
Also, on five of the last six Thanksgiving weekends, Sanford used a state plane to fly himself, his wife, Jenny, and their four sons from the family’s plantation in Beaufort County to Columbia for the state Christmas tree lighting. The cost for those flights alone: $5,536, including $2,869 for flying the plane empty to pick them up.

Ive always wanted to try pizza in a cast iron skillet. Why, you ask? Its the most versatile pan in the kitchen entire world, so why not push the limits and see what it can do? For skillet pizza,Ive used both a standard 12-inch cast iron skillet and also a monster 15-inch Lodge cast iron skillet.
Im a big homemade pizza guy, and Ill be honest, I swear by my pizza stone. However, the cast iron skillet delivers different, but equally delicious results. I think the big difference when making pizza in a cast iron skillet is the crust. A pizza stone is preheated in the oven at 500 degrees for an hour, giving you a very hot surface to cook your pieon. Much like a hot brick oven, it cooks the crust very quickly, giving you crispier results.
Cast iron, on the other hand, usually gives you fluffier, softercrust around the edges. Id compare it most to your typical baked oven pizza but with a bit more crunch. I think its a matter of preference. Both fantastic, just different.
The Trick to Cast Iron Skillet Pizza
The advantage of cast iron over a standard pan is the heat retention/transferring abilities of cast iron. We can preheat our cast iron pan in the oven just like a pizza stone, giving you a really hot surface to cook your pizza on. This is the game-changing element of cast iron.
Higher oven and cooking surface temps convert to faster cooking pizza and much better crust. This eliminates any chances of soggy pizza, giving you the much-desired crunch most people love. Plus, If youre making deep dish pizza, then there is no better tool than your cast iron skillet.
Keep the top of the skillet about 8-10 inches from the heat source in your oven, this will ensure your cheese gets that perfectly golden finish, much like those hot pizza ovens at pizza joints.
Do I Have to Preheat my Skillet?
You dont have to, Ive tried it both ways, but I think youll find better results by preheating your skillet in the oven. I cant stress enough the importance of high temperatures and the speed of cooking when making homemade pizza.
Should I Precook My Dough Before Adding Toppings?
Some recipes call for this, I never have. I dont think you need to for excellent results. I build my entire pizza right in the skillet on the uncooked dough and transfer right to the oven. Youll have perfect skillet pizza in about 10-15 minutes.Print
- 1618 ounces pizza dough
- 3/4 cup shredded mozarella cheese
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce
- pepperoni (optional)
- Salt and olive oil, to taste
- Preheat oven to 500 F with the cast iron skillet in the oven (you want about 20-25 minutes of preheating to ensure the skillet is HOT).
- Meanwhile, roll out the dough into a 8-12 inch crust, depending on the size of your skillet. See note below. You want about 1/4 inch thick crust in the center for best results. Use your best judgement, but you most likely use less than 16 ounces of dough.
- CAREFULLY Remove the skillet from the oven. Spray the skillet with cooking spray and carefully place the dough in the skillet, its OK if outer crust goes up the sides a little.
- Drizzle the top of the crust with olive oil and a pink of salt. Add your desired toppings (sauce, cheese, protein, veggies) and bake for 10-15 minutes or until crust just starts to turn golden at the edges.
A 12-inch skillet will serve 2 people, a 15-inch skillet is better suited for 4 people. Cook times should be the same, regardless of size of skillet.

If you’re a BMW 3-Series or a Formula 1 fan, this week should be a pretty interesting one for you. First, the all-new model of BMW’s iconic compact offering, which was on our cover for the month of March, is being launched locally tonight. Second, the fifth leg of the world’s premier motorsports series is happening this weekend at the Circuit de Catalunya in Spain, and if the first four F1 races we’ve had this year are anything to go by, we’re in for another thriller.
Last December, we had the chance to put the 3-Series to the ultimate driving test by taking it for several laps around the above-mentioned Spanish racetrack. On top of that, BMW also flew in a test driver in the form of Prince Leopold of Bavaria, who would be more than able to demonstrate the car’s abilities beyond our limits.
Prince Leopold was made a BMW factory driver in 1986, and continues to be an adviser to the German premium carmaker to this day. His motorsports experience includes touring-car racing as well as participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, among others. And in case you’re wondering, he really is a true-blue royal, which put yours truly in a bit of a conundrum as to how to address him. (Your Highness? Your Majesty?)
We needn’t have worried, though--he was very eager to go on camera and give us a running commentary of his lap around the Circuit de Catalunya. Check out the video below of his “75-percent” run with the BMW 328i and pick up some tips for your next track day.

Bishop to Bronster:
Her office says the estate is usingBy Jim Witty
noncompliance of subpoenas
followed by delaying tactics
The attorney general wants the Circuit Court to compel Bishop Estate to comply with its subpoena of trust records, while the estate is asking for a "more definite statement" of the areas being investigated by the state.
In a document filed recently in Circuit Court, estate attorneys also reiterated their request that the court keep information disclosed during the attorney general's investigation away from the public.
So goes the flurry of filings as the two sides prepare to face off in court on several occasions this month.
The attorney general is investigating trustees' management of the charitable trust and allegations they've breached their fiduciary duties.
Monday, Attorney General Margery Bronster requested that the court order Bishop Estate to turn over a roster of employees and a list of total amounts independent contractors billed the trust since 1993.
"It appears that the trustees are determined to obstruct the attorney general's investigation of breaches of fiduciary duty by the combination of noncompliance of proper subpoenas followed by delaying tactics in this court," wrote Deputy Attorney General Larry Goya.
Goya also said the trustees are at a "zero compliance" level with all the state's subpoenas.
Bishop Estate attorney Bill McCorriston has argued that confidential or proprietary information on the trust's business dealings should not be made public. He said they're willing to turn over documents if Bronster abides by Probate Court guidelines that protect sensitive information.
A hearing on the state's petition is scheduled for Oct. 28 before Judge Kevin Chang.
Bishop Estate attorneys have resumed their call for a protective order governing information turned over in the investigation and claimed subpoenas issued by the state are overly broad.
According to court documents, Bishop Estate is also asking that an attorney representing the trust be present during the questioning of subpoenaed witnesses by the attorney general.
A hearing on the Bishop Estate motion is set for Oct. 22.
This afternoon, Chang was scheduled to hear a request by the attorney general's office to compel Bishop Estate to turn over minutes of trustees' meetings from January 1993 forward.
A hearing is also slated for Oct. 24 to consider the estate's request to keep confidential or proprietary information from the public.
Bronster to Lindsey:By Harold Morse
Dont ignore subpoena
State Attorney General Margery Bronster has filed a Circuit Court motion seeking a court order compelling Bishop Estate trustee Marion Mae Lokelani Lindsey to comply with an attorney general's subpoena issued last month.
Attorney William McCorriston, representing the Bishop Estate in recent controversy over its management of Kamehameha Schools, later called the filing a publicity stunt.
The subpoena called for Lindsey to appear for examination under oath concerning "Kamehameha Schools/Bishop Estate and allegations of financial mismanagement and breaches of fiduciary duty by trustees at Bishop Estate."
The memorandum supporting the motion says Lindsey did not comply with the subpoena because attorney William McCorriston advised her not to, although there had been earlier indications Lindsey would abide by the subpoena.
A memorandum in support of the motion concludes: "The attorney general should not be subjected to Lindsey's shell game with counsel. The Lindsey subpoena should be enforced because it is proper . . . and the belated refusal to comply was improper."
"I guess my reaction is it must be a publicity stunt," McCorriston said in response to yesterday's filing.
"The matter is already before the court in one of our petitions. So it's really unnecessary and a waste of paper because the judge has already set a hearing on our petition to determine the scope of Mrs. Lindsey's responsibility to respond to the subpoena," he added.
