Iowa janitor accused of video peeping changes plea to guilty
MASON CITY, Ia. — A former janitor accused of video recording people in a northern Iowa school staff restroom has changed his plea to guilty.
Mason City station KIMT reports that 47-year-old David Bemis, of Mason City, entered the pleas to four counts of invasion of privacy. Court documents say the prosecution will recommend a 60-day jail sentence for him and a year of probation in return for his pleas. He'd originally pleaded not guilty.
Bemis' sentencing is scheduled for July 18.
Investigators say Bemis was working at Clear Creek Elementary in Clear Lake in May 2013 when he hid a camera in the restroom and recorded four school employees in varying degrees of nudity. He no longer works for the district.
Clear Lake Superintendent Doug Gee has said no students were recorded.

Texas Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to present this Marti Report documented 1967 Ford Mustang GTA 2+2 Fastback. This car showcases quality paint, mechanicals, and factory options. This car was last purchased 18 years ago as an anniversary present to a blessed husband. It is an absolute pleasure to drive and shows remarkably well. The GTA was the GT Mustang equipped with an automatic transmission. These GT's carried special GTA badging. The GTA was only available in 1967, the '68 model year GT automatics were simply "GTs" again. The GT Equipment group for '67 includes the grille mounted fog lamps, power front disc brakes, dual exhaust with chromed quad outlets, a GT gas cap, rocker panel stripes, and GT or in this case, GTA emblems.
This is a well-optioned factory Mustang GT, complete with the Marti Report, door identification plate & buck tag. The Marti Report is basically a copy of the factory build & options record. The buck tag is the metal tag affixed underhood while the car was being assembled, detailing features. The buck tag seldom remains and is a great way to document your classic Mustang. The 289 "A" code 4bbl. V8 is believed original to this Mustang. Fly Low or Fly High, many of our photos of this Fastback GTA were taken at the Dallas Love Field Frontiers of Flight Museum, located only minutes from our showroom.
The 1967 Mustang boasted several styling changes. This example displays original sheetmetal throughout with a quality repaint of the original Springtime Yellow. The styled steel wheels are another original feature. They have been fitted with B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A tires (215/70R14s). 1967 also showcased a newly designed interior. The interior features the standard black vinyl upholstery in excellent condition. The dash is clean and detailed. The factory instruments are all in place along with the trim. An aftermarket AM/FM digital stereo has been professionally installed. Factory options include the deluxe seat belts, courtesy light group, and center console.
The GTA was an automatic transmission equipped GT, the designation would only be used in 1967. Under the hood is the "A" code 289 4bbl. V8. This engine is believed to be original to this car. The intake manifold is also correct, C60E-9425-B. This powerplant is factory rated at 225 horsepower. Induction is courtesy of a Holley 4bbl. carburetor. This is a strong running engine. The carburetor was recently tuned. The factory "buck tag" is in place. The original sheetmetal is in good condition throughout the firewall, inner fenders and core support. The undercarriage displays solid frame rails & flooring throughout. The exhaust system features a custom dual setup with the correct for the GT quad chromed tips. The power front disc brakes were standard equipment on the GT in '67. The rear end is a 3.00 geared unit according to the factory Marti Report.


Chairman of the Council visits Landmark “Topping Out” Ceremony at New Sutton-in-Ashfield Care Home
David Griffiths, Chairman of the Council, visited the site of Kingfisher Court, a new, luxury care home in Sutton-in-Ashfield yesterday, as Oakdale Care Group and LNT Care Developments celebrated a landmark stage in the build with a “topping out” ceremony.
Once complete in April 2017, Kingfisher Court will provide a home for 66 elderly people from the surrounding area. The brand new, purpose built home has been designed and built by LNT Care Developments and will be run by Oakdale Care Group – a small, privately owned company providing high quality care in outstanding accommodation, with the ethos of providing the best care, every day to everyone.
Co-Founder of Oakdale Care Group, Chris Babington, said, “We are really excited to see Kingfisher Court taking shape, and the “topping out” ceremony brings us one step closer to opening the home. We can’t wait to showcase the great facilities we have on offer – it will be a spacious, comfortable and elegant home in a great location that will create around 50 jobs for local people. We are sure it will soon become a key part of the local community, as well as providing a safe and enjoyable home for our residents.”
The “topping out” ceremony reflects the ancient practice of celebrating the bedding of the last tile of a new building to ward off spirits which may have been displaced in its construction. After donning their safety attire, the guests were treated to a tour of the partially completed home. David Griffiths then helped place the last tile on the building, to complete the external construction. He said, “It was great to take a tour around Kingfisher Court today and be a part of the “topping out” ceremony. The home is really starting to take shape and from what I have seen, I am sure the home will be a great addition to the local community. Oakdale Care Group are very committed to ensuring this is a top quality care facility and I am very much looking forward to seeing it completed.”
The home-from-home facility will provide residential and dementia care with comfortable private rooms each with an accessible en-suite wet room. There will be many communal areas such as an English tea room, garden lounge, library and cinema room for residents and their visitors to enjoy. The home is due to open in April 2017 and will hold a public open day where local residents can view the facilities and reserve rooms.

$755 Million: Small Investment, Big Return
What do we get for the $755 million Lake Washington School District is asking for Feb. 11? What kind of impact will it have on our household and business budgets?
In the near-term, $755 million in direct investment will be spent right here in our local economy, not only creating local jobs for people doing the work but also generating more revenue and jobs for our local business as the work progresses and new workers spend their incomes. In the medium-term, the investment in our highly-rated school system will continue to support companies’ decisions to keep and add jobs in our regional economy. And in the long-term, improving and maintaining a high-quality education system has a documented, direct link to higher productivity and economic growth.
The investment each family has to make is small in comparison to the positive impact voting yes for all three Lake Washington bond and levy measures Feb. 11 will generate. Voting yes on all three measures (not just the bond measure) will cost a median family less per month than the price of going out to dinner at Red Robin, less than the price of a single tank of gas, less than the price of two lattes a week.
The benefits to our local economy far outweigh the costs to our families and our businesses! Is there any better investment in the future than in improving the educational environment of the very children who eventually will become the leaders of our communities?
Vote for Issaquah levies
In response to the Jan. 22 editorial, “Vote Yes for all Measures,” I wanted to extend my support and encourage others to vote yes for the three Issaquah School District levies. As a parent of two children in the district, and as someone who volunteers and substitutes in the Issaquah School District, I want to make sure everyone knows how important it is to vote yes for this funding.
There are three levies on the ballot Feb. 11. The first is a maintenance and operations levy. This levy provides 21 percent of the Issaquah School District operating budget (staff salaries, books, heat and light, fuel for buses, and building maintenance). Our taxes in Washington only provide 60.8 percent of the total budget for the district; federal funds account for 3.9 percent of the budget, tuition and fees (13.1 percent) and other funds (0.3 percent). Even with the levy dollars, Issaquah schools only rank 257th out of 295 school districts in the state in per student funding. Therefore, it is critical to our schools to pass this levy if we want to provide our children with a quality education.
The second levy is a school bus levy that will replace old buses with new, more efficient models that align with the state’s safety standards and replacement cycle. Fuel savings and lower maintenance costs mean that more money can go into the classroom to provide quality education for our children.
The third levy is a capital levy that pays for the classroom technology needs and critical repairs of buildings throughout the district. Washington state provides zero dollars of funding for technology. Our schools depend on local levy money and community funding for our classroom technology funding.
Please vote yes for all three Issaquah School District levies on February 11.
Vote for Issaquah annexation
As plateau residents, we have an interesting vote due Feb. 11. We must vote yes to annex our 18 jurisdictions in the Klahanie PAA to the city of Issaquah.
Simply put, this is our last chance to do this. The city of Issaquah is prepared to annex us with a yes vote, and will not with a no vote. We have no guarantees past this, other than to stay unincorporated in King County. The process to get this election has taken over three years and hundreds of volunteer man-hours that your neighbors have conducted.
This is not a comparison between Issaquah vs. Sammamish, and it concerns me that detractors from this effort continue to try and lead you to believe it is. If that were really true, there would not actually be vote on Feb. 11, as Sammamish would have (and should have) gotten the annexation done years ago after the 2005 failed vote to Issaquah. Did they do it? Nope, not even a minor attempt. They are only stepping forward at the 11 hour to protect special interests and block Issaquah. That concerns me even more.
I have been a resident in Klahanie for over 24 years. We deserve to lower our taxes. I can think of dozens of ways I’ll enjoy spending the approx. $1,000 per year savings I’ll see in my household. And since we are paying for it, we deserve services we don’t really get today, like police, road services, repairs and government representation. We deserve to be a city, and the only way to do this is to vote yes to annex to Issaquah on Feb. 11.
And by the way, four yes votes please; annexation and three Issaquah School levies!

Staff from Clare County Council’s IT department are in communication with Google on attempts to redirect road users to more suitable routes in rural parts of the county.
Motorists have been guided “down the wrong road for too long” by satellite navigation systems when traversing the rural parts of Co Clare, Cllr PJ Kelly (FF) remarked at a recent sitting of the West Clare Municipal District.
“We’ve to have a chat with the posh lady who is driving people astray, she has been driving people down the wrong road for too long, we’ve tried charm, maybe Alan is the man,” Cllr Kelly quipped as he nominated senior engineer Alan Kennelly for the task.
His comments were made during a discussion to a motion from Cllr Gabriel Keating (FG) who appealed for road restoration work on the L-2050 “in view of the recent number of accidents on this stretch of roadway”.
Kennelly confirmed that the L-2050 was not included on the 2021 scheduled of MD works but flagged that 800 linear metres of the L-2050-7 on the Cooraclare end was surface dressed last year. The L-2050-16 (Tullagower end) is scheduled to benefit from a Low-Cost Safety Scheme (LCSS) in 2021. He explained, “This will be at the crest of the steep hill. Included in the LCSS will be signage at the Cooraclare and N68 ends of the L-2050. The signage will advise motorists of alternate routes available and discourage them from using the relatively narrow L-2050. This road is often recommended to motorists as a short cut to North Clare by satellite navigation systems”.
Traffic is directed onto the road by motorists coming off the ferry from Kerry who are then using a Sat Nav, Keating stated. Several cars have been pulled from ditches by tractors on the road, he cautioned.
According to Kennelly, “the lady with the sweet voice that PJ refers to does offer this as a short cut between the ferry and North Clare, part of works is that signage will be included. I know our own IT department have communicated with Google on several occasions to stop Google Maps directing people down towards this way”.

Decades ago, Frances Haas was attending church when an epiphany struck.
“I was at Mass, and God said, ‘Take care of people with HIV.’ That was it,” Haas said. “It was so definitive that I didn’t question it. And I’m not that religious. But I knew at that point what I was going to do. No matter what, I would work with HIV patients, whether that was surgery or pediatrics or whatever field I chose to go into.”
This was no small task from the the divine. Haas decided to enter medical school after having been a nurse for 19 years. At age 39, this late-in-life choice came after some self-reflection when her mother died in 1987.
Haas saw the stigmatism of AIDS patients and knew treatments weren’t great. The disease was politicized in a cultural war over LGBTQ+ rights that worsened and halted progress in attacking the HIV virus, which causes AIDS.
“A lot of people turned their backs on them,” Haas said. “There were specialists who wouldn’t treat them; surgeons who refused to do surgery. There was difficulty in finding general practitioners. A lot of physicians didn’t know how to care for HIV patients and didn’t feel comfortable treating it.”
That was a large part of why World AIDS Day was formed in 1988 and continues to be held annually on Dec. 1.

The inflation was seen more due in durables as individuals with spending power have purchased more durables and more due to demand-supply mismatch in housing. It also is because of the supply chain issue due to Covid lockdown, however we see some supply chain disruptions next month and will ease. He expects the inflations to be lower in next six months as the supply chain issues eases.
As with rate hikes we expect less liquidity in the markets and to understand the impact for India, Mark has suggested Indian markets are attractive. Considering the investment opportunities in India and the sectors to invest in, Mark’s focus is on banks and Blue-Chip IT companies. Suggesting having exposure to cyclical trend one should choose bank and for exposure on digital theme one choice blue-chip IT companies.
In IT sector, Cloud and AI is the theme to be the main growth driver. IT companies providing these services do well. Thus, blue-chip Tech Stocks to outperform in India in next 5 years. Banks is the most attractive theme in the US. In India, the focus of equity investors should be on the balance sheet of the banks. The recovery in banks has been seen across all banks.
Although Big IT companies with strong profit and cash flow, the IT companies with week or no earning is what Mark is considers to underperform in 2022.

What is the best light for cross stitching?
You might prefer a desk lamp over a floor one. To make sure your thread colors aren’t altered, you should choose a cool light and look for daylight bulbs.
What is a OttLite?
There are desk lamps for craft and sewing. OTTLITE WELLNESS SERIES® is a way to view. Crafting and sewing are both carried out. The home and office are in it’s own place. Professionals can bring the benefits of healthy natural lighting to their spaces with a business and professional designed for them.
What is special about OttLite?
Why do you think OttLite is the reason? Why is it so special? It is possible to see clearly with accurate color and without squinting with the OttLite lamps. We end up staring at something for hours at a time if we don’t reduce our eyestrain.
Why do apartments not have lights in the bedroom?
The building codes that the government regulates do not require apartment ceiling lights. In order to save the building owner money, engineers and architects often exclude permanent ceiling fixture from their designs.
How can I add light to a room without wiring?
There are a lot of ideas for lighting without wiring that can change the look and feel of your home.
What is the best light for embroidery?
Daylight light bulbs with a kelvin of around 6400 are the best for this purpose. A lamp with a white light of around 4,000 kelvin is a more economical option than a lamp with a high cost.
Do Ott lights get hot?
Warm Light is OttLite’s first color temperature mode and is used during the day when the sun is shining but you need a little more light on your project or computer.
What is a grime guard for cross stitch?
A fabric called a grime guard is used to keep your stitches clean. When you take the hoop off of your project, you notice that the oils on your hands are starting to stain. That is prevented by the guard. It keeps your cloth clean by giving you a place to hold the hoop.
Can an OTT light be used as a grow light?
You can still grow plants indoors with our lamps, even though they don’t have the same natural daylight formula.
Can you use an OTT light for SAD?
Light therapy has been shown to improve moods and even improve sleep quality. The proprietary ClearSun LEDs that come as close to the sun’s output as you can get is what makes the OttLite ClearSun®LED Light TherapyLamp so unique.
How many lumens do I need for task lighting?
It’s accepted for most applications of task lighting to be between 1,000 and 1,400 Lumens. It’s a common measure to have an average of 50 Lumens per square foot. You may be hearing the term efficacy. The lm per watt is the ratio of light output from a lamp to the electric power used.
Are serious readers lights worth the money?
It’s worth it if you’re worried that you’ll have to give up reading, sewing or crafting because of poor vision.
How many lumens is enough for reading?
A reading light with a brightness level of at least 3,000 and up to 6,000 Lumens should be bright enough to make you want to read, but not so bright that you can’t see anything.
What is a daylight bulb?
The light emitted by these bulbs is very close to the sun’s natural light. You need bright daylight bulbs in the room when you’re working on a project. Daylight bulbs are great for lighting up kitchens and bathroom.

Sarileru Neekevvaru is one of the most awaited films this season of Sankranthi and has released in heavy competition. Read on to see how it turns out to be.
Story: Ajay played by Mahesh Babu is a military officer who comes to the aid of Bharati played by Vaijayashanti who is a professor in Kurnool. Things get ugly when a bad minister played by Prakash Raj takes on Bharati regarding a suspicious murder. Bharati is helpless but finds solace in the form of Ajay suddenly. Who is Ajay and why has he helped Bharati all of a sudden is the crux of Sarileru Neekevvaru.
Performance: Looks like Mahesh Babu has taken the complaints of his fans seriously as he is in his elements in Sarileru. He provides so many mass elements to his fans as his comedy timing, mass dialogues and especially dances are to die for. Mahesh takes the film on his shoulders throughout and it is because of him the film becomes hugely entertaining.
Rashmika is a surprise package and does so well in her over the top and loud well. She looks cute and also suits well along with Mahesh Babu. Vijayashanti is very good in her comeback. She has limited dialogues but her screen presence is very good.
Bandla Ganesh and his comedy did not work one bit. Rao Ramesh and Rajendra Prasad were just okay. But yesteryear heroine, Sangeetha is very good in her loud mother’s role. Hari Teja did not have much to do. Prakash Raj was routine in his role and there is nothing new about him.
Analysis: So much was expected from director Anil Ravipudi as he got a chance to direct Mahesh so early in his career. But he made full use of it and showcased Mahesh in a never-before manner. He establishes the story in a very impressive manner and starts the story in a neat way.
He adds good fun with the help of a train episode and nicely makes the audience ready for what is in store for them in the second half. This is also the time, Vijayashanthi’s role is established through Prakash Raj’s villainism. The confrontation scenes between Prakash Raj and Mahesh are very good.
Looks like director Anil Ravipudi has kept only one thing in mind and that was to showcase Mahesh in a very mass avatar so that he will please his fans. In that way, he has done a good job and pleased Mahesh’s fans. But as a director, there is nothing novel that he has showcased as the second half goes for a toss and the climax is very weak. As it is coming in the crucial time of Sankranthi, things will work well but everything depends on the way Ala Vaikunthapuramlo fares.

President Joe Biden continues to defend his decision to send aid to Ukraine while also revealing details about the exact weapons we are sending, where we are sending them, and what the strategy for use of the weapons will be.
Just this week, President Biden defended the choice to send cluster munitions to Ukraine. Biden said that Ukraine is "running out" of the ammunition that they need, and "we're low on it."
The comments from Biden came during a portion of an interview with Washington Post columnist and CNN host Fareed Zakaria.
Biden said we are "running out"
The interview aired on on Sunday’s broadcast of CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS.
Biden said, "[I]t was a very difficult decision on my part. And by the way, I discussed this with our allies. I discussed this with our friends up on the Hill."
"And we’re in a situation where Ukraine continues to be brutally attacked across the board by munitions, by these cluster munitions that have dud rates that are very, very low — I mean, very high, that are a danger to civilians, number one," Biden added.
"Number two, the Ukrainians are running out of ammunition. The ammunition — they call them 155-millimeter weapons. This is a war relating to munitions," Biden said.
"And they’re running out of that ammunition, and we’re low on it. And so, what I finally did, I took the recommendation of the Defense Department to, not permanently, but to allow for, in this transition period, while we get more 155 weapons — these shells for the Ukrainians, to provide them with something that has a very low dud rate," Biden said.
After Biden gave specifics on the exact kind of weapons and admitted that we are low on them, he went on to reveal the strategy in using the weapons.
"And it’s not used in civilian areas. They’re trying to get through those trenches and stop those tanks from rolling," Biden said, revealing the strategy.
"And so, — but it was not an easy decision. And it’s not — we’re not signatories of that agreement. But, it took me a while to be convinced to do it. But the main thing is, they either have the weapons to stop the Russians now…keep them from stopping the Ukrainian offensive through these areas, or they don’t. And I think they needed them," Biden said.

It's a race against the clock when it comes to treating heart attack patients
(Jan. 31, 2007)--Hospitals nationwide are pledging to save more lives by providing quicker care for heart attack victims. They're following a plan developed by the American College of Cardiology based in part on research from Yale University, which found that when heart attack patients did not receive angioplasty--a procedure that opens blocked arteries--within 90 minutes of their arrival, their survival rate plummeted by 42%.
To beat the clock and give the best care, hospitals are encouraged to do the following, among other things:
Strategy: Page doctors via a central calling system (instead of hunting down individual phone numbers)
Saves 13.8 minutes
Strategy: Make sure the cardiac care team can be ready to act in 20 to 30 minutes
Saves 19.3 minutes
Hundreds of hospitals have adopted the program, but if yours isn't yet on board, tell your cardiologist about it and direct her to www.d2balliance.org.

I honestly don’t know where I stand. I’ve had long term, occasionally acute lower back pain which resulted in physio. I recently noticed some loss of sensation in my left foot, which travelled up my left leg although to a lesser degree. A lumbar mri identified a ‘discreet Intramedullary t2 weighted signal’ within the cord which raise the ‘possibility of demyelination/inflammation’.
The neurologist didn’t really explore previous back pain episodes and jumped straight to warning that I should be prepared for MS. No other obvious symptoms re balance or strength etc, although as I write this I do have some pins and needles in my left arm and a little bit of tiredness on my left thigh (although I’ve 2 young kids so am pretty active) which could be caused by playing with the kids.
I have a brain and spine mri, lumbar puncture and blood tests arranged for 3 weeks.
I don’t expect any advice to challenge the neurologist but would be interested if anyone has had a similar start to their MS journey.
Thanks in advance

In high-altitude Peru, an irrigation system and a reservoir help a family secure their future.
With a mischievous smile, Nilva Huilca Chuma, 13, dashes beneath the sprinklers that crisscross her grandparents’ field. She’s wearing her best clothes—the wide-brimmed hat and flared skirt that are traditional in this part of the Peruvian Andes—and doesn’t want them to get wet. Although she’s quick, she can’t quite avoid the rotating jets of water that flash in the mountain sunlight.
These are no ordinary sprinklers: They’re part of an irrigation system that’s helping her family earn much-needed income. And for Nilva, who wants to study medicine someday, they’re also helping to secure a bright future.
In 2011, Nilva’s grandfather, Julio Huilca Qqhue, participated in an Oxfam America-funded project designed to help communities in the high-altitude Espinar region of Peru adapt to climate change. Farmers here say that rainfall shortages, periods of intense cold, and other extreme weather are making it harder for them grow crops and raise livestock.
Oxfam’s local partner organization worked with Huilca to build a sprinkler irrigation system for his fields, as well as a spring-fed, plastic-lined reservoir on top of a nearby hill. The sprinkler system pulls water down from the reservoir using gravity, rather than electricity, which saves on fuel costs. Since there is no municipal water here in the tiny community of Urinsaya, the reservoir also supplies water to a small primary school nearby.
Oxfam’s partners also provided training so farmers could learn how to maintain and expand the systems on their own. In two years, Huilca, 65, has quadrupled the amount of land he irrigates—from 2.5 acres to 10 acres.
“The irrigation system has been very helpful,” said Huilca. “This teaching motivates us … We can keep learning, keep working. If you know how to do it, you can expand.”
Huilca uses the irrigated land to grow potatoes and medicinal herbs for his family, and, most importantly, to cultivate cold-resistant rye grass from seeds provided by Oxfam’s partner. The grass provides a pasture for dairy cows, which normally wouldn’t eat the dry grasses that grow here at 13,000 feet above sea level.
The cows’ milk has become a source of steady income for Huilca's family. “Every 15 days, we get paid for the milk we sell [in local markets],” he said. “We also get income from the llamas [we raise], but we can only sell a llama every six or seven months. That’s why milk cows are an advantage for us.”
The family used their earnings to weatherproof their house, which provided protection during a severe cold spell and snowstorm that struck the Peruvian highlands in August 2013. Many families lost livestock or suffered illnesses during the cold emergency, but Huilca’s family and their animals came through unharmed.
Today, Huilca uses the income he earns not only to maintain his farm, but to help pay for an education for Nilva and her two sisters.
“We reinvest the money,” said Huilca. “We want to keep growing the [pasture] and to support the family.”

More than 150 million tonnes of plastic have accumulated in the world's oceans, with over 4.5 million tonnes added each year. It becomes most problematic when its breaks up into tiny microparticles that are then ingested by sea creatures and so enter the food chain. A concept developed by the EU-funded SEA LITTER CRITTERS project could provide a solution to cleaning up this sea litter. Its feasibility study looked at the market appeal of a small automated waste collection vessel called the ‘Sea Litter Critter’, which not only picks up litter, but treats it on-board. Project coordinator Ilaria Schiavi explains that the idea for the device came from observing a marine litter collection vessel operating at an Italian tourist resort: ‘It was paid for by a local tourist association concerned that dirty beaches would put off visitors, but the high costs meant the vessel could only be used when there were significant quantities of debris.’ This gave IRIS, a small start up based in Turin, Italy, the idea to use their expertise in plasma technology to come up with an improved solution. Using plasma - a very high temperature, very energetic state of matter - solid waste can be completely broken down with no risk of dioxines and furans emissions, which can form in other combustion-based waste treatment methods. At SEA LITTER CRITTERS’s core is IRIS’s small scale pyrolizer unit (patent pending), which treats thermally solid waste and transforms it into syngas, a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane and a residue which can be recycled as aggregate for road material or concrete. The syngas could be exploited for producing electricity or fuelling the vessel’s motor. Currently a fully unmanned, automated device is not possible due to regulatory and technology limitations but Schiavi says, ‘Ideally, once automated navigation is fully developed, this vessel could be left to hoover up marine litter day and night.’ In their feasibility study the team commissioned specific market research to ascertain if the device was attractive to coastal resorts, municipalities and aquaculture enterprises. While the idea was found to be of interest to the market, the main challenge was found to be securing the necessary investment for such equipment. Schiavi notes, ‘Currently, marine litter is everybody’s problem but nobody wants to pay for cleaning it up, and there are no regulations stipulating who should be dealing with it.’ Changes to the current regulatory climate, could kick-start a market for this device, as Schiavi explains. ‘The EU is very active on the subject as the problem is growing to a level likely to affect European industries such as fishing. So we expect that the regulatory landscape will change, and there will be a requirement for local authorities to act.’ The project team is working towards developing a sea-ready vehicle to be tested within the next four years. It expects disposal of marine litter through thermal treatment will have a place in the future management framework for materials that cannot be recycled or for emergency situations such as spills and flooding events.

Seattle Sounders FC (5-0-1, 16 points) showed it’s grit, might and a little swagger in it’s come from behind 3-2 win over Toronto FC Toronto FC (3-1-1, 10 points), Saturday afternoon at CenturyLink Field. After a lethargic start, the Rave Green found themselves down 1-0 after 10 minutes of play on a Jozy Altidore goal in which the burly striker was left unmarked for an easy header.
After regrouping and playing tighter defense in the midfield and the backline of the defense, the Sounders were able to get a foothold in the game with some precision passing and were able to find the back off the Toronto goal in the 24th minute on Will Bruin’s header off an exquisite cross from left fullback Brad Smith.
The Sounders continued to press the issue in the second half using they’re preferred strategy of advancing the ball down the left side of the ball and hastened the pace at which they passed the ball between players and crosses into the Toronto’s goal box. The result was two goals in a span of two minutes. Another Bruin goal in the 66th minute and Cristian Roldan’s right-footed blast in the 68th minute gave the Rave Green a 3-1 lead which had Sounder Nation clapping, chanting and giving each other high fives like it was a New Years Eve Dance Party.
A second Altidore goal in the 70th-minute momentarily tempered the Rave Green spirits but it was all good in the Hood when the final whistle blew to end the game 24th minutes later to give the Sounders their best six-game start to a season in club history. Dating back to last season, Sounders FC is unbeaten in its last 11 regular season matches (10-0-1).

This War Is Not Inevitable
An idea that could yet change the world— Two actors, playing a dozen parts between them, show how world leaders in 1917 received this idea.
THIS WAR IS NOT INEVITABLE is a two-man play written by Aucklander Michael Burton to mark the centenary of the birth of an idea that could yet change the world – Rudolf Steiner’s Threefold Social Organism. Two actors, playing a dozen parts between them, show how the rulers of the time received this idea.
The Threefold Social Organism was first of all an idea that could have taken two years off the length of the First World War and made the Second World War impossible. It addressed people’s vulnerability to political and economic events – something that is every bit as relevant today as it was in 1917.

PHOENIX, March 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- H.R. 1410, the Keep the Promise Act, which would resolve the 'off-reservation' gaming issue in Arizona and bring a sigh of relief to all cities and towns that have county parcels within their boundaries, has received support by more mayors in Arizona. Mayors from Scottsdale, Tempe, Litchfield Park, Gilbert and Glendale voiced their collective support for a Congressional resolution in 2013 and in the past few months, mayors from Apache Junction, Fountain Hills, and Phoenix City Councilman Jim Waring have joined their stance.
"There is growing understanding among mayors and city councils about the negative series of events that could be set in motion if the Tohono O'odham Nation continues to ignore commitments made to elected officials, other tribes and voters during the Indian gaming compact negotiations, and builds a casino within the city limits of Glendale," said City of Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell. "Without Congressional action, sites in our cities are potential targets for aggressive 'urban gaming'; ultimately untouchable because of sovereign immunity. It's a fear that has inspired us to write personal letters to Senator McCain, requesting that this bill be heard, resolving this matter in our state once and for all."
H.R. 1410 is clear, easy-to-understand legislation: it prohibits any additional tribal casinos in the metro-Phoenix area until the expiration of existing tribal-state gaming compacts in 2027 when all stakeholders involved can engage in a fair, transparent and public process. H.R. 1410 passed the U.S. House of Representatives with a super majority vote, but awaits a hearing in the Senate.
H.R. 1410 addresses a loophole that would allow the Tohono O'odham Nation of Tucson to create an Indian reservation in the middle of the City of Glendale, miles away from their reservation, without any input from residents or local officials. If permitted, this tribe has argued in court litigation that it also has the right to create three additional Indian reservations within the Phoenix metropolitan area to build casinos.
The growing roster of mayors opposing casinos within city limits goes as far back as 2009, when mayors from Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Surprise and Youngtown took a public position on the issue. The following have sent personal letters to Senator McCain requesting a hearing for H.R. 1410: Jim Lane, Mayor of Scottsdale; Mark Mitchell, Mayor of Tempe; Jerry Weiers, Mayor of Glendale; Thomas L. Schoaf, Mayor of Litchfield Park; John Lewis, Mayor of Gilbert; John Insalaco, Mayor of Apache Junction; Linda Kavanagh, Mayor of Fountain Hills; and City of Phoenix Councilman Jim Waring.
The matter has the potential to set a new precedent whereby the Tohono O'odham Nation—a tribe from Southern Arizona—can go into any city in Maricopa County, purchase land and convert it into an Indian reservation/casino property. All of this comes after the Tohono O'odham Nation made public promises during Indian gaming compact negotiations with state, city and their peer tribal leaders in Arizona making a commitment to no more casinos in the Phoenix-metro area.
As a result, Senator McCain sent a letter on Friday, February 28, 2014, to Senator Jon Tester, Chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs requesting a hearing regarding his concerns surrounding "off reservation" gambling.
"Without Congressional action, cities in Maricopa County with county islands are potential targets for off-reservation gaming" said Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell. "It is time for Congress to reverse what is becoming a growing trend nationwide for tribes to reservation-shop in metropolitan areas."
Local leaders await a hearing by the U.S. Senate. The public can express their opinion by going to www.keepingthepromiseaz.com.

There's a lot of community engagement stuff happening with churches now and a lot of training, support and encouraging conferences to help with this.
This is great!
Although, I've noticed on a regular basis that once again, there is an area rarely looked at when we support and encourage churches in connecting with their local neighbourhoods.
It's an area that is huge and affects more than one in five working age people. This area is disability.
When I ask about this, I'm told that disabled people are in all areas of the community and as such are reached along with the people around them.
But this isn't the case. They are always the forgotten ones in this story.
I'm not one for siloing disabled people off into a subgroup - absolutely not! (Unless it's needed and asked for by specific disabled individuals.) But if we are not intentional in making sure disabled people don't get left out of our thinking, they WILL be forgotten or left behind. It happens all the time.
If we are working to improve things for those around us, why are disabled people left out?
Disabled people were the worst hit by the pandemic, are more likely be living in poverty, and will be the worst hit by the present and coming fuel crisis.
On average, it will cost £583 a month extra for a disabled person to live than a non-disabled person, according to disability equality charity Scope.
The hate crime rates against disabled people have skyrocketed and with no signs of abating.
That said, the many initiatives out there are not covering this area of outreach and have no disabled people advising, training or speaking at events about community engagement or working in public leadership roles. To have disabled people as trustees, speakers and involved in the work says to disabled people in the community that we matter because we obviously matter to the organisation.
In everything we do and discuss in planning things to bless our communities, we need to have a marker to remind us to ask the disability question, because if we don't, disabled people will be forgotten - again.
Do we know where to look and what to do? Do we realise the issues being faced by the disability community where 'The Church' is (as normal) staying silent?
This is why there needs to be training for those involved in not just public leadership, but those seeking to work more in community engagement. This is also why you need disabled people on your planning groups/advisory groups and as part of the teams on the ground. As it's said by many disabled people: "Nothing About Us Without Us!"
Here's some questions that might help you start thinking about disability:
Do you know where community/group homes are for those with different disabilities? Does anyone visit or provide pastoral care from the local churches?
Do public playgrounds have accessible swings etc in them - does something need doing about that?
There is a massive shortage of accessible social housing, meaning thousands of disabled people are trapped in their homes. Loneliness is a big issue. Do you know what your local authority is doing about that and what the church can do?
At the moment there is an outcry about the lack of evacuation plans for disabled people who live in high rise flats and the government having gone against the advice given in the Grenfell Tower inquiry. Are your councils doing the same thing? Can we add our voices to the outcry? Is there something we can do?
With the cost of living crisis, the money promised to those on universal credit will not go to those only receiving disability benefits - have you lobbied about this?
In the new schools bill, if it goes ahead, the fallout for children who have additional needs will be huge - possibly resulting in an even higher suicide rate amongst children. Have you researched this and found out what the issues are? What can we do to support families?
Those questions are just a starter.
The world of someone with a disability is hard. The Church and para-church organisations cannot and should not stay silent any longer.

The city of Weatherford has seen more snake bites than normal for this time of year, and they’re warning people to be on the lookout.
Physicians in Weatherford say they’ve seen enough snake bites among patients to cause concern. Dr. Nathan Holbrook is the Medical Director of Emergency Services with Medical City Weatherford. He said they’ve seen five snake bites this week alone. Typically, they'll see one or two per week this time of year.
“I wish I could tell you a perfect reason as to why the last couple of weeks we’ve seen such a spike,” said Holbrook. “I don’t have a perfect explanation except it is just kind of the time of year folks are getting out more and doing stuff again.”
While he can’t nail down the exact reason, Holbrook said it’s wise to be mindful of certain reptile behaviors, like the fact that many snakes are most active during the cooler parts of the day. Also, keep in mind what’s most common here in North Texas.

“Far and away, most common in this area is going to be copperhead bites. We certainly do have cottonmouths; some people call them water moccasins. And also rattle snakes,” he said.
Holbrook said the best course of action if bitten is to head to the ER.
“Some of the things that I should probably mention not to do that you may see on a John Wayne movie, don’t try to suck the poison out. Don’t put a tourniquet on it either. And typically, ice is not recommended,” he said.
The latest news from around North Texas.
It’s best to back away from a snake when you see one and don’t try to capture it.
“Unfortunately, they’re good at playing dead and they can be what seems to be dead, and actually alive in the bucket,” said Holbrook. “So please don’t bring snakes to the emergency department.”

Maison forte du Grand Mercoras
Location: Ruffieux, in the Savoie departement of France (Rhone-Alpes Region).
Built: 14th century.
Condition: In good condition.
Ownership / Access: Privately owned.
ISMH Reference Number: PA00118289
Notes: Château du Grand Mécoras or Castle Grand Mercoras, is a former stronghold of the fourteenth century, the medieval center of the Lordship of Mécoras, which stands on the town of Ruffieux, a French commune in the Savoie department in region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Castle Mécoras, elevation and roof, are the subject of a partial inscription as historical monuments since November 6, 1969. The castle received the delegates 1991 Castle Mécoras, of the association of old French houses. The stronghold of the Grand Mécoras comes in the form of a quadrangular defensive enclosure to which we added a corner flag. It was reached on the north by a low door broken arch, once fortified. A committed polygonal tower at the center of the façade houses a spiral staircase. The turret has at its base a difference in thickness suggesting a redesign of the upper parts; its roof, cut sides, was restored in 1986. The main building of the fifteenth century, was increased in the early sixteenth century of a second building to the north, resting on the turret which has been at center of the current facade. A building, disappeared, was to occupy the southern part; it remains broken away and a door window transform. The stronghold is lit by mullioned windows. The main building has openings in the upper part of the defenses that open in a device assisées stone tuff and was probably replaced hoardings. Common, built in 1607, on the back of strong home, complete the set. The cover of the castle, like other buildings, is in plain tiles, clean roofs of the region. On tabulated Sardinian cadastre described the environment of this stronghold, "the yard, the barn, the stable, the garden but also the orchard, the vineyard and the chapel".

Mammary glands, breasts, boobs, and ‘the girls’ are commonly used terms to describe that one aspect of the female body that often defines femininity, sexuality, and self-esteem. There are multiple reasons that women might not be satisfied with the size and shape of their breasts leading them to get breast augmentation. Some are due to:
- Previous removal as a result of breast cancer (mastectomy),
- Sagging due to breastfeeding and aging,
- Uneven sizes,
- Too small compared to a preconceived norm,
- Self-confidence clothed and unclothed,
- Difficulty finding clothes that fit since most clothes use a ‘C’ cup to define typical or average, and
- Weight loss.
The stigma associated with changing body parts to look better is gone. Newly divorced women buy themselves a ‘boob job’ while the men buy fancy sports’ cars. It’s all about feeling better about oneself, self-esteem is very important. Let’s face it, with online dating; the pressure to meet some minimal standard in appearance is keeping plastic surgeons swamped. No body part is exempt from achieving one’s best appearance.
Modern plastic surgery has perfected the boob job over the years as a result of new surgical techniques, newer implants, that may allow an inserted implant feel more like real breast tissue. You would not believe the number of types of breast implants on the market today. Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgeries in the United States. Over 300,000 are done annually. NICE!
Saline breast implants produce a breast augmentation that is uniform in shape, firmness, and feel. Structured saline implants contain an inner structure that gives the breasts a more natural shape. Silicone breast implants are filled with a natural-feeling silicone gel that is described as the ‘Cadillac’ of breast implants by women and their plastic surgeons. Gummy bear implants are called that because even if the shell is broken the breast maintains its shape, but they are considerably firmer than silicone or saline. They require a longer incision and may rotate. Round breast implants are fuller than form-stable implants and give a higher projection. Smooth breast implants are the softest feeling and movements appear more normally but may have a ripple effect on the skin– for patients that have low body fat. Textured breast implants are useful in cases where a previous augmentation/implant has moved because the texture allows scar tissue to hold the implant in place.Textured implants are very useful in reconstructive cases.
There are four types of incisions for breast augmentation, and it depends on the consultation between the doctor and the patient, which leads to the selection of the implant used. They are periareolar (around the nipple), in the armpit, underneath the breast in its normal crease, and the TUBA, where the incision is at the umbilicus, ͞belly button͟, a tunnel is created with an endoscope to allow for breast augmentation visualization and even placement is more challenging, but there is no scar on the breast. Silicone breast implants cannot be placed this way. It is the least favored approach by plastic surgeons. True but what does she have to support this statement? A lot of TUBA doctors/patients may bristle. The implants can be placed under the chest wall muscle or directly under the breast tissue and on top of the muscle. There are pros and cons for both. For over the muscle, the boob jobs are slightly easier and considered less invasive, produce more cleavage, no distortion when muscles flex, but do tend to look less natural if the patient develops a capsular contracture (where the scar capsule around the breast contracts and the breast feels firm) and ripples may be seen through the skin if the patient has low body fat. Contractures (bands of scar tissue) and difficult mammograms are more common in over the muscle breast augmentations. Under the muscle boob jobs result in a more natural breast appearance, less risk for rippling, easier mammograms, and easier to do follow-up surgeries like breast lifts.
