More Japanese chemical weapons found
Munitions loaded with toxic gas found last week in a village in Qiqihar of Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province have been proved on a preliminary basis to have been discarded by invading Japanese troops during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Invasion (1937-45).
Villagers living near the area where the munition shells were discovered have moved away, while further excavation and examination are ongoing.
A total of 52 shells were unearthed last Sunday by Dong Liyan, a villager in Ang'angxi District of Qiqihar, when he started to lay the foundation for a new building next to his old dwelling.
The shells, varying in size and shape, were between 20 and 40-centimetres-long with diameters measuring between 8 and 10 centimetres.
Ang'angxi District used to be a military airport and residence for the Japanese troops, according to local residents.
Dong, 54, had been living for 30 years on the property where the shells were excavated. Receiving Dong's report, the local residents' committee told him to move out before yesterday. Dong's house has been blocked off since last Sunday.
The committee then raised an alert to local authorities including departments of public security and production security as well as local military authorities. Staff from related national departments and technicians visited the area to investigate last Sunday.
Preliminary results of the investigation have indicated that these shells were left behind by Japanese troops, according to local officials.
This case, together with the discovery of a mustard gas cylinder in Qiqihar on Monday, triggered a new wave of outrage over the discarding of chemical weapons in China by Japanese troops.
Last August 43 people were poisoned by abandoned Japanese mustard gas, which left one person dead.
Indignant Chinese citizens have urged the Japanese Government to take a proper attitude toward history and shoulder the responsibility of clearing up all the chemical weapons left over by invading troops.
"Japan's invasion of China in 1937-45 was a calamity for the whole Chinese people," said Qiqihar resident Jiao Bo. "Now, these chemical weapons they left behind are threatening our children's lives. The Japanese Government must do something about this."
"We do not know how many of these weapons are still undiscovered in our city," said Qiqihar shopkeeper Yuan Shuli. "We do not know how many people they will hurt in the future."
During the war, Qiqihar was the base camp of the Japanese army's "Unit 516." Unlike the notorious "Unit 731" which was engaged in germ warfare research, "Unit 516" specialized in biochemical weapons.
Bu Ping, vice-president of the Heilongjiang Academy of Social Sciences and a researcher of chemical weapons left behind by Japanese troops in China, estimated that Japanese invaders abandoned more than 2 million chemical weapons in different forms in a dozen Chinese cities and provinces at the end of war.
"These weapons are threatening the safety and homes of Chinese people," he said.
According to statistics, some 2,000 Chinese citizens have so far been affected by discarded chemical weapons since the war ended.
In Qiqihar alone, eight incidents involving Japanese chemical weapons have taken place since the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, said Su Xiangxiang, a lawyer who was engaged in a compensation suit for the Chinese victims of last August's mustard gas incident.
Chat rooms on major Chinese websites are once again filled with emotional discussions on the issue, with Xinhuanet.com and Sina.com, two major Internet portals, recording more than 70 pages of messages demanding the Japanese Government face up to its historic responsibilities.
"The cylinder is solid evidence that proves the Japanese cruelty in China," said Liu Chunfeng, a Qiqihar University student. "Although the Japanese side refuses to look squarely at history, their chemical weapons have injured innocent Chinese people time and again. They should apologize to us!"
Cao Zhibo, who specializes in the study of "Unit 516," said the Japanese troops buried or threw chemicals weapons into rivers and lakes in China to cover up their crimes after their defeat.
"Today, the Japanese Government remains tight-lipped as to how many chemical weapons are buried in China and where they are," said Cao.
Though it is difficult to collect materials about the amounts and locations of the chemical weapons left behind, this can never be used as an excuse that the Japanese side could do nothing about it, Bu said. The Japanese Government should collect related information through inquiring with veterans and by other means, and provide the findings to China in a timely manner.
Chinese citizens could fall victim at any time to abandoned chemical weapons as China is accelerating its urbanization drive.
"We strongly call on the Japanese Government to shoulder its responsibility and co-operate with the Chinese side in stepping up the process of handling the discarded chemical weapons, so as to avoid such tragedies happening again," Bu said.

AEW has acquired two Finnish residential apartment blocks for an unnamed German pension fund.
The real estate manager said it bought the two buildings in Jatkasaari and Matinkyla from the Bank of Åland Residential Property Fund for an undisclosed amount.
Developed in 2017, the apartment block in central Jatkasaari with 53 flats, is 99% let. The Matinkyla apartment block comprises 34 flats, which was developed in 2014, is fully let.
Together the two buildings spread across 5,018sqm.
Lars-Henning Pylla, separate account fund manager at AEW, said: “Finland is one of the most competitive economies in the world, underpinned by the strength of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, which is one of the main reasons we took the decision to broaden the mandate’s residential exposure and to invest into this dynamic region.
“We have focused on smaller-sized, well-equipped units in growing sub-markets that we believe will continue to play a significant role in the region’s long-term economic development, ensuring the future sustainability of the investment.”
AEW currently manages a dedicated residential fund, RESIDYS, and the asset class represents approximately 8% of AEW’s €32bn European portfolio.

Egypt - Christians
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Attackers in Egypt's capital have thrown
rocks and broken glass at a march by Coptic Christians.
About 400 Christians marched to mark the end of 40 days of
mourning after sectarian clashes that killed 27 people, most of
The violence in October began when about 1,000 Christians tried
to stage a peaceful sit-in outside the state television building.
The protesters said they were attacked by "thugs" with sticks and
the violence spiraled out of control after a speeding military
vehicle jumped onto a sidewalk and crushed some Christians.
A witness says attackers on Thursday threw stones, bricks and
broken glass on the marchers from an apartment building. Clashes
broke out and 10 people were injured, two of them seriously.
Sectarian tensions have been building across Egypt since the
18-day uprising that ousted President Hosni Mubarak in February. Coptic Christians, who make up about 10
percent of Egypt's population, have long complained of state

Also, your bee mates do not really want you to forget them. I am new to this whole bee thing, but I would presume that makes them cranky.
Okay, my blocks.
Sew South House Block
Jenifer from Ellison Lane Quilts asked all of the Sew South attendees to make a house block for a quilt for the Ronald McDonald House in Charlotte.
Make it Modern Bee Blocks
This month I put together an improv log cabin block for Kelie of Craft Nurse. I am calling this block "I put a bird on it".... (Portlandia, anyone?).
Sami's Quilts and Crafts, requested this block she is calling Mama Goose. Her final design for all of these blocks is pretty spectacular (btw, this particular block is not quite done...).
Lucky Stars Block of the Month
I finished my January Star. I am already looking forward to February. Who knew paper piecing could be so fun.
Look how pretty the practice block and the January block look next to each other...
Lining up the Stars Quilt (working title)
I doodled out this block based on a design my friend painted on the an egg (she does these amazing wax died/painted blown eggs). Then I went. to. town. I need 25 of these blocks to finish this as a throw quilt. I have 10 done and 5 in the hole.
This is on the fast track though. I am anxious to get this on the couch before winter is over.
Because it is pretty.
Would people be interested in a tutorial on how these blocks were made? It is pretty straight forward modification of the basic HST star. I am not sure I can claim to be it's "designer" per se... I am sure someone has made this sucker before. I would be happy to write out how I am doing these blocks if there is interest.
Dad's Tool Roll
That is my week. In patchwork. Exhausting.
We are going to have a friend (who does not sew) coming to visit this weekend, so I do not expect to get a ton of sewing done. Maybe, if I am lucky, I can finish my Dad's present? In between glasses of wine with Amber?
Linking up love!

News that all households across North Kesteven will soon be getting an extra wheelie bin for recycling has received a mixed reaction from Lincolnshire Live readers.
People are being asked to put clean and dry paper and cardboard should go in a new purple-lidded bin, while other recyclables like glass and plastic should go in the existing green-lidded recycling bin.
The new bins will start to be delivered to households on August ahead of the autumn launch of the dual recycling bin scheme.
Some households could end up with four wheelie bins - the general waste, garden refuse and current recycling bins and the purple-lidded bin.
The district-wide roll-out comes after a successful trial which saw a big take-out and increased the quality of paper and card for recycling.
Our initial story about the district-wide roll-out prompted a big response when we posted it on Facebook.
Some people voiced concerns as to whether they would have room for another bin and others said they did not like the purple colour, while there were comments in favour of having two recycling bins.
Dave Partridge, from Sleaford, joked: "I'm sure they will reduce our council tax for all the recycling we do."
Lis Reynolds posted: "Please could they build extra space at our homes to store the ever-growing collection of bins?"
Katrina Skinner West, from Ruskington, suggested a smaller general waste bin might be a good idea "now we put less in them" and added she was really looking forward to getting the new purple bin.
Tim Sisson quipped: "I think they had a special committee to choose the most hideous colour."
Retired care worker Randolph Murray, 73, of North Parade, Sleaford, told Lincolnshire Live that separating recycling into two bins makes sense.
He said: "I think it's a terrific idea because it will increase the amount of stuff that can be recycled and also, because people seem to be ordering a lot of stuff from the likes of Amazon, everyone seems to be generating a lot of cardboard.
"We cannot get our heads around putting bottles in our current recycling bin, thinking it will hit the floor of the lorry and smash and get mixed in with everything else.
"I believe the waste is then sorted by hand on a conveyor belt, which cannot be the nicest of jobs for the people who have to do it.
"We take our bottles to the bottle bank and we give our kitchen scraps to a neighbour for their compost heap."
Ten areas took part in a 12-month twin bin trial including Cranwell village, Walcott and Timberland.
An impressive 135 tonnes of clean and dry paper and card was collected and 95 per cent of residents putting their purple bins out each month.
The paper mills reported that 98.5 per cent of the paper and card collected was great quality for recycling and the quality of the other items in the green-lidded bins also significantly improved.
Boston borough collections switched to dual recycling this Spring, which is to be followed 2021, by North Kesteven in the Autumn.
West Lindsey could have the dual scheme from April 2022, followed by East Lindsey in September 2022, South Kesteven in April 2023 and the City of Lincoln in 2023.

Additionally, to celebrate the opening of the Hollywood location, Hart House is launching a new summer refresh menu called “Summer Lovin” for a limited time across all three locations featuring three new items.

NATIONAL ROAD SAFETY WEEK
Opinion: Can road safety be a moving target?
India is a signatory to the “Brasilia Declaration” of 2015 with the target to reduce deaths from road accidents by 50% by 2020. Still, the country does not even have a proper database. There is a cynical discrepancy in the data on deaths from road accidents in 2019 provided by the government agencies concerned. Now the target is reset to 2030, without any proper action plan to get to it. The author says that “there is definitely a general sense of apathy on this subject among all major stakeholders, right from the policymakers to the traffic police and the automobile industry. A few pragmatic action plans with time-bound targets are presented in this article to save precious lives that perish on Indian roads.

The following post is from a previous trial of Basically, Britain. It was originally posted something like 3 years ago (at least WordPress says the last time it was modified was 3 years ago- the official date was 3/20/15). It was (and is) one of the best blog posts I have ever made. I will add on to it at the end with some additions that are more current than 3 years ago.
“I am not the same person I was last year.
I am not the same person I was 2 years ago.
I am not the same person I was 3 years ago.
I am not the same person I was 4 years ago.
Last year, I spent much for February and March trying to go back to the person I was 3 years ago.
2 years go I wanted to be the person I was 3 years ago.
3 years ago I was content.
4 Years ago, I wanted to be the person I was 3 years ago.
Today? I was thinking that I would like to be the person I was 4 years ago. That person was a genuinely good person. That person had her priorities. That person was happy, she just thought she would be happier if she would become the person she was 3 years ago. Yes, 3 years ago, I was happy; but I was not as good of a person. Sometime in between years 3 and 4, I really lost my connection with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I turned my own whole world upside down and I was totally ignorant to having done it. In that way, Ignorance truly was bliss. Some of my happiest times were during that ignorant bliss.
Yet, I do not want to go back to that happiness. I do not want to go back to striving to be the person I was 3 years ago. In fact, I do not want to go back to striving to be any person other than the one God wants me to be. I want to strive to be the person who wants what God wants for me. Don’t you dare say that that is an easy thing to strive for. (“But you grew up in a Christian home” “You go to church” “If you just read your bible enough” blah blah blah) Striving to be that person is like having a chocolate bar right in front of you, and trying not to eat it. That chocolate bar is not good for you in the long run, but it is sooooooo delicious in the present.
Even though I say I was a good, on track, person 4 years ago, I do not want to go backwards. I sit here and think about how all of the events from the past few years have shaped me. I’m not proud of everything I did, but I am proud of the way I am coming out of it all. So much of getting through the past, is letting it go- LEARNING FROM IT- but letting it go. [Insert Frozen lyrics here]
I’m just like every single person ever. Trying to achieve whole-hearted happiness. I know that the place where my happiness should be is God-shaped. I know he can fill it. I know he is filling it. I know I am striving for him to fill it more and more each day. At the same time though, Sometimes it just takes a little reminder as to what happiness does feel like. It takes a little reminder that, even though I am certainly not a lucky person, I am blessed beyond my wildest expectations.
I can say that happiness is finding out you made color guard for your high school band.
I can say happiness is illustrating music with a flag in your hand.
I can say happiness feels like the first time I marched at OTown, my freshman year in high school, in 2009.
I can say that happiness is putting on that homecoming dress for your very first high school dance.
I can say that happiness is getting a balloon turtle named Ferdinand at a fireworks show for Independence day.
I can say that happiness feels a kiss upside down on a ride at 6flags.
I can say that happiness is interpreting your first message in tongues at the winter retreat.
I can say that happiness is climbing a tree at the park with your best friend.
I can say that happiness is that free feeling when you first get your drivers license.
I can say that happiness is laughing with someone, and stopping mid laugh, just to admire how beautiful it is to watch a person laugh for a mere second.
I can say that happiness is finding out that you made your university’s color guard.
I can say that happiness is making the decision to go to USM over Bama.
I can say that happiness is performing with The Pride, making all of the hard work totally worth it.
I can say that happiness is, laying in the middle of campus on Centennial Lawn in like 30 degree weather, in footie pajamas, and looking up at the stars.
I can say that happiness is a kiss for the first time under that wonderful box.
I can say that happiness is seeing Rascal Flatts in concert with your daddy and best friend/sister.
I can say that happiness is riding a pool noodle, with three best friends on it, all the way across the lake a newtown and shrieking every time a fish bites your toe.
I can say that happiness is having the perfect little.
I can say that happiness is performing in Bryant Denny stadium and being better than their band, especially having chosen not to go to school there.
I can say that happiness is finishing a new painting.
I can say that happiness is Marching (and winning) in the Dublin, Ireland St. Paddy’s Day Parade.
I can say that happiness is landing in your own bed after traveling for a solid 24 hours on planes and buses.
I can say that happiness is your favorite food and soda after not being able to have it for a while because you were out of the country.
I can say there is always happiness in counting your blessings.
(and there is ALWAYS happiness in climbing trees.)
I didn’t just have a random spiritual turn around today by any means, its been a work in progress for the last coming up on two years. Its a work in progress. I am a work in progress.
In a sense, it may seem like my happiness is simple. It may seem as if I can be made happy a little too easily. I mean, I find pretty much instant happiness in grilled cheese, Dr. Pepper, footie pajamas, fuzzy socks, watching Cars, playing my music way too loud, giving an extravagant concert to my shower head, and climbing trees. The little things are just extremely important to me. I believe that finding happiness in a bunch of little things adds up. There is so much bad each day, be it spilling coffee on your white shirt, tripping, forgetting your umbrella the day it rains, etc. Being simple, easily swayed, makes these things so much better. Its as if walking a few minutes grumpily in the rain, was not even a big deal once I got in my car and turned the music up all the way. Its as if getting a flag in my hand makes it easier to forgive my friend after fighting with them. It’s little things. Little things just add up. Each little blessing is still from God. Each one is no more or less important than the other, and though small, each blessing is a building block into the person God is building you to be. Though small, these things are still totally worthy of being acknowledged as blessings, as important, as sent from the Lord. Many a times, its the little blessings that turn a whole day or week around for the better.
Sometime’s all people need is a Snickers.”

Netflix came out against the proposed Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger Monday, warning that a combined company would use its power to charge websites tolls to reach their customers.
Comcast — the country’s largest Internet provider — is already big enough to charge websites “unprecedented” fees, and a combined Comcast-TWC would become even more “anti-competitive,” Netflix said in its earnings report Monday,
“The Internet faces a long-term threat from the largest [Internet service providers] driving up profits for themselves and costs for everyone else,” Netflix said in a statement.
Although this is the first time Netflix commented on the merger, the company has been very critical of Comcast in the past. Last month, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings blasted Comcast over the agreement Netflix entered into with the Internet provider in February that requires Netflix to pay a fee to ensure smooth streaming for Comcast subscribers.
This kind of deal, known as an interconnection deal, was not part of the federal government’s recently overturned net-neutrality rules, which required all Internet providers to treat Internet traffic equally. But Netflix recently urged the Federal Communications Commission to expand the rules to protect against such practices.
“The essence of net neutrality is that [Internet service providers] such as AT&T and Comcast don’t restrict, influence, or otherwise meddle with the choices consumers make,” Hastings said in a March blog post. “The traditional form of net neutrality which was recently overturned by a Verizon lawsuit is important, but insufficient.”
Comcast called Netflix’s arguments for its opposition “inaccurate,” saying that interconnection deals have “nothing to do with net neutrality” in a statement Monday. The company maintained that the merger will be good for net neutrality because it is the only ISP still bound by the open-Internet rules, due to conditions set when it acquired NBC Universal in 2009. Those rules would extend to Time Warner customers if the merger is approved.
“Netflix should be transparent that its opinion is not about protecting the consumer or about net neutrality,” Jennifer Khoury, Comcast’s senior vice president of corporate and digital communications, wrote Monday. “Rather, it’s about improving Netflix’s business model by shifting costs that it has always borne to all users of the Internet and not just to Netflix customers.”
The proposed merger has attracted a great deal of regulatory scrutiny and is currently under review by the FCC and the Justice Department.

It took long enough, but the Trump administration finally includes an Agriculture secretary. "The Senate easily approved Sonny Perdue on Monday" by a count of 87-11. Perdue enjoyed the support of Democrats like Delaware's Chris Coons and Wisconsin's Tammy Baldwin, both of whom spoke in his favor.
"A media arm of the State Department is using federal resources to promote President Donald Trump’s private Florida golf club, fueling scrutiny of the nexus between the president’s official duties and his personal financial interests." On April 4, "Share America, the State Department’s social media-friendly news website, paid homage to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club ... hailing the president’s use of 'the winter White House, as Share America dubbed it, to host world leaders."
President Trump today said he'll be releasing his tax reformpacakge next week around the 100-day mark of his presidency. He promised that "businesses and individuals will receive a 'massive tax cut ... bigger I believe than any tax cut ever."
Despite President Trump's announcement that his tax reform proposal would be released this week, Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney now says it will be ready in June. This week's announcement will be limited to "specific governing principles."

Porto’s summer signing Zaidu Sanusi has revealed his delight in receiving his first ever call-up to the Nigerian national team, saying it is a dream come true for him.
Two years ago, the left-back would have laughed off suggestions of being invited to the Super Eagles as he was playing in the third-tier of Portuguese football but his profile changed with a move to Santa Clara, for whom he played well, putting him on the radar of the Super Eagles coaches.
Sanusi has admitted that he knew beforehand that he was in contention to be named to the Super Eagles squad for their upcoming games against Ivory Coast and Tunisia because he was contacted by one of Gernot Rohr’s assistants based in England.
“Before I never thought about receiving a call-up because I played in the third division in Portugal. I was not thinking of getting called up until I move to the Primeira Liga, Sanusi said.
“One day my agent called and told me about my transfer to Santa Clara, I was very happy and he told me that if I played good Nigeria national team could call me but I didn’t think it was possible.
“When I was playing in Santa Clara people were saying I should be called up but I told them I was unaware of an invitation to the squad but I continued to pray, maybe my dream can come true.
“One of Rohr’s assistants residing in England (chief scout Tunde Adelakun) called me and told me I should be expecting a call-up to the national team, but he told me to keep it a secret as he wasn’t sure one hundred percent so I continued to pray.
“Right now I have not spoken to the head coach Rohr.”
The powerful and pacy left-back has cited Bayern Munich star of Nigerian descent David Alaba as the fullback he looks up to and admitted that Super Eagles legend Taye Taiwo has also influenced his style of play.
“The left-back I look up to in the world is David Alaba of Bayern Munich, many, many people say that I play like Alaba but I want to be myself, I like him so much.
“Alaba can defend and attack and I’m like him. It’s very difficult for a left-back to attack and defend but Alaba does that very well.
“Many years ago I used to watch Taye Taiwo, sometimes I search for him on YouTube to see how he plays,” Sanusi added.
Sanusi, 23, made his competitive debut for Porto on the opening day of the season against Sporting Braga last weekend and is in contention to feature in this season’s Champions League.

The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre opened today in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, and icWales, "the national web site of Wales," files a report from that English village. Dahl, born in Wales of Norwegian parents, would have been pleased says the journalist taking the tour:
For Roald Dahl, that giant dream maker of children's literature, imagination was the cornerstone of his work.
So a museum dedicated to his vision, complete with giant chocolate doors and seats that resemble crocodiles, would have fulfilled his vision of a world where even the most ordinary of things can hide the most extraordinary secrets.
2005 is proving to be a good year for Roald Dahl (1916-1990). July 15th will see the U.S. premiere of a new film version of Dahl's classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Johnny Depp plays Willy Wonka; the director is Tim Burton.


Our last two aircraft carriers with years of possible service were junked
History may yet record it was one of the worst reviews ever uttered. Admittedly the new government was contemplating a truly disastrous situation at the Ministry of Defence, starting with a horrendous £38billion unfunded black hole that somehow had to be filled.
Add to that a series of terrible equipment decisions that caused our troops to be sent to Iraq and Afghanistan with shoddy kit and not enough of it.
Just two more bequests from the disastrous 13 Blair/Brown years. But the decisions of that SDSR of 2010 were almost as bad.
Our last two aircraft carriers with years of possible service were junked – sent straight to the scrapyard.
They were to be replaced by two giants – but not until 2020, giving us 10 years without any force projection to faraway places.
Now it seems the newcomers will as usual be late. These new carriers were supposed to carry the American F35B Joint Strike Fighter.
Now that is so beset by problems that an original intended order of 138 has been reduced to just 14 – about seven per carrier.
We could have had the brilliant US Navy F18 Super Hornet – proven, battle-tested and with years of service yet to come and very much cheaper.
We junked our multi-role Harriers which, with vertical take-off, could operate from land or sea platforms.
We retained the elderly Tornados which can only operate from land bases, very few of which we have left. So all flexibility went.
We scrapped the Nimrod anti-submarine patrollers so that Russian subs can now prowl our coasts with impunity. Now fresh problems have arisen.
Newcomers need to train on a real ship, not a classroom simulator
Every position on a modern carrier is a high-skill job. But former carrier men have been retiring and leaving the Navy.
Newcomers need to train on a real ship, not a classroom simulator.
We don’t have enough to crew the two expected carriers in five years’ time (maybe) and the Government has just allotted the Navy 450 new sailors, a quarter of what are needed.
As if the Navy’s cup of woe was not already brimming over, it has been made clear that the engines of our Type-45 destroyers, although four years old, are malfunctioning and will probably need replacing – another huge cost and years of delay as part of the destroyer and frigate fleet is, ship by ship, laid up.
About the one thing that the new SDSR did get right was to increase and re-arm our brilliant Special Forces, which I happen to know are the envy of the world.
But even that poses a problem. The standards are so high that you cannot just “badge” another 1,000 without dropping the entry threshold, which the veterans and purists vehemently oppose.
Twenty years ago under Blair the eggheads tried to envisage what we’d face today because ordering defence equipment is a long-haul business.
Unfortunately they got just about everything wrong. But that cannot excuse the utterly foolish decisions of five years ago.
Today we face a resurgent and aggressive Russia under its thug president, the three-continent-wide death cult Islamic State and an entire new front called cyberspace.
We have not needed our secret services, Special Forces and Armed Forces so much for at least a generation.
So our Government funds fee-chasing shysters to persecute our ex-soldiers and send morale plunging to the depths. Are we crazy?
Somebody saw Trump's fall coming....
If Trump represents any Americans bar the Right-wing rednecks I’m the tooth fairy
EVEN if I do say it, I believe this page was the only one that said seven days ago that Donald Trump might well not be the predicted shoo-in nomination for the Republicans of Iowa.
As with our own election last May the polls got it wrong.
Two more moderate senators, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, could well be the ones who finally slug it out at the June convention.
Trump always struck me as a man full of hatred. He clearly despised women – all women – and they are 50 per cent of voters.
He loathed all Muslims even though the huge majority are decent people. He loathed all Mexicans and for that matter all Hispanics.
He clearly had no time for foreigners and I never heard a friendly word from him about black people. Put together, that’s a lot of people to dislike.
But that’s not the American people. I’ve been there many times and found Americans naturally friendly.
If Trump represents any Americans bar the Right-wing rednecks I’m the tooth fairy.

The fiasco over the statue of Cecil Rhodes seems to be over
THE fiasco at Oriel College, Oxford, over the statue of Cecil Rhodes, once its huge financial benefactor, seems to be over.
After months of dithering it was the donors and benefactors of today who clinched it. They threatened to withdraw en masse if the pigeon-bedewed statue came down.
So it stays up, though quite a few future benefactors have changed their wills and cost the college a fortune in lost income.
At the heart of the chaos was the Provost Moira Wallace who let the rabble-rousing Rhodes Must Fall campaign get wholly out of control as she dithered, unable to make a decision and swat the midgets herself.
Not entirely coincidentally she is a former civil servant, emanating from the equally useless Ministry of Energy and Climate Change.
She retired from there with a £472,000 golden goodbye.
Once again a thoroughly undistinguished bureaucrat collects a vast handout of taxpayer money and swans into a highly paid sinecure on the nod.

THAT'S quite a career change. Five years ago Canadian Ms Sunny Leone was a moderately successful actress in porno movies in her native land.
Now translated to India she is a subcontinental superstar with Bollywood blockbusters, has her own TV show and endorses lucrative brands.
This is all the more remarkable in that India has a tradition of great prudishness in acting with even kissing on screen a very recent phenomenon. The times they are a-changing.
They are NOT asylum seekers
PRETTY typically the EU Commission has come to the view that the mass attacks on women in Cologne on New Year’s Eve were a “public order” problem and nothing to do with immigration so nothing to do with the EU or the wholesale collapse of its Schengen no-borders scheme.
To remind: in Cologne and elsewhere hundreds of German women out to celebrate found themselves being pretty aggressively “groped” by an army of mainly North African immigrants.
More than 500 lodged complaints with the German police. Many were panic-stricken after being surrounded by sex-hungry young men. Let us be frank.
Of about a million immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa streaming into Europe and foolishly welcomed by Angela Merkel, a reasonable estimate is that almost 70 per cent were single young men without female companionship or a hope of it.
That sounds to me like a powder keg.
Meanwhile a British judge has pronounced that the thousands living in squalor around Calais trying to smuggle themselves illegally into Britain cannot be called asylum seekers because the very word means those seeking safety, sanctuary and shelter from death or persecution.
But they are safe in France and in Italy before that. They are simply immigrants seeking a better life could apply for visas.
Colonel Worsley was a true hero

THE word “hero” is hugely overused. A real hero either sacrifices himself for others or experiences extreme fear but overcomes it.
The idea that the brave know no fear is nonsense. It is the overcoming that makes them brave.
But Lt Col Henry Worsley, who died in Punta Arenas, Chile, basically from sheer exhaustion, was a real one.
He died after trying to trek alone and without back-up right across Antarctica. Finally his body and his spirit could take no more.
Technically his death was down to bacterial peritonitis in a hospital ward but he had driven himself to complete collapse before he radioed for help.
He spent 34 years in the Army, serving in the Royal Green Jackets and the SAS, fighting in Bosnia and Afghanistan.
He was raising money for the Endeavour Fund which helps damaged soldiers. He was just 55. RIP, Colonel.


The One Piece Seal (OPS Seal) is a simple seal made from one part polyethylene (HDPE). This cost-effective seal is quick to break in an emergency. With a low breaking strength of 6 kg, it is suitable for sealing medical equipment, for example. The One Piece Seal has a unique print, making each seal unique. Each song is produced only once.
Easy to break by hand, cost effective seal
The One Piece Seal is a light indicative seal that can easily be broken by hand. In emergency situations, the seal can therefore be broken by anyone. Thanks to the simple and optimized production process, the One Piece Seal is a cost-effective seal.
Minimalist one piece plastic design with 2.3mm thin seal tail
The seal is made from only one piece of plastic. The closing mechanism is also made of the same type of plastic. Many other seals have a closing mechanism made of stainless steel or Acetal (Delrin®). The advantage of choosing one-part production is that production costs are lower. The result is a qualitative seal with a relatively low breaking strength of 6 kg. Seals with a stainless steel closure or Acetal in many cases have a higher breaking strength, for example the Medium Duty Pull Tight Seal or Universal Seal ).
The One Piece Seal’s serrated seal tail has a thin diameter of 2.3, measured at the widest part of the serrated tail. This makes the seal one of the thinnest seals. The thin sealing line also has a great effect on the low breaking strength of the seal
Indicative seal made of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene)
The One Piece Seal is made of high-quality polyethylene with a high density (abbreviated to HDPE). This material is resistant to chemicals. The material is also temperature resistant. The One Piece Seal fulfills its function in temperatures from -40 to +80 degrees Celsius. The material Polyethylene has a high rigidity. Given the design and thin diameter, the material is still flexible and bendable. Sealing is easy, even when space is limited.
Suitable for sealing, among other things, medical equipment
The One Piece Seal is suitable for applications where the seal must be easily broken in emergency situations. For example, the seal can be used to seal medical equipment, such as AEDs. Also sealing crash cars with medical supplies is possible with the One Piece Seal.
In addition to sealing medical equipment, the One Piece Seal is also suitable for other applications. For example, flight cases can be easily sealed with the seal.
Provided with one-off unique imprint and ascending numbering
The One Piece Seal has a unique print. The seal is supplied from stock with the text “OPS 9 SEALED”. This in combination with a unique ascending numbering. Both Navacqs and the manufacturer of the seal ensure that each combination is only produced once. In combination with good registration, this helps to prevent fraud and manipulation.
In addition to the standard print with unique numbering, it is possible to provide the One Piece Seal with its own print. For example in the form of your own company name or logo. Please contact us via +31 (0) 10-495 0000 or firstname.lastname@example.org to discuss the possibilities.

Texas lawmakers have approved a bill banning the words “meat” and “beef” from plant-based foods such as the possible “Beyond Meat.”
Per The Hill “House Bill 316, which was approved after a brief debate, is intended to prohibit companies from misleading consumers, according to Dallas News. The bill will also keep companies that produce food from insects, plants or cell cultures, not slaughtered animals, from using the label “meat,” “pork,” “poultry” or “beef.””
Texas state Rep. Brad Buckley (R) said “this is for those who choose to eat meat, but it’s also for those who choose to not eat meat.”
“State Rep. Gene Wu (D) argued that if the bill passes the state could be subject to unnecessary litigation. A Republican state lawmaker, Rep. Kyle Biedermann, said that he supported the bill, but was concerned about state overreach,” the report adds.
Biedermann said “there shouldn’t be a need to have to legislate more regulation of these other companies when it seems their packaging is pretty clear.”

In this paper, a general description of the innovative Enel Distribuzione (ED) power quality data warehouse (PQDW) is carried out; moreover, its application fields will be described, with respect to the synergy with the other ED network's management systems in the new smart grids perspective. The analysis of the MV network power quality (PQ) performances is important not only to verify the network's compliance with the standard EN 50160, but also to evaluate its correlation with the basic network's operating information (protections tripping, MV neutral point operating status etc.) provided by the network's remote control and automation systems. The PQDW is available through the Enel intranet, by means of an user-friendly web based interface, thus making exploitable the row data recorded by the power quality instruments (PQI), located in more of 500 installations. In Italy, ED PQDW is the best practice of PQ management systems, combining research and operational issues.

Eva Longoria’s Desperate Housewives pals have begun arriving for the star’s extravagant Paris nuptials which begin with a low-key civil cermemony today.
Teri Hatcher led the arrivals of the popular soap’s cast-mates as Eva, 32, and her 25-year-old fiance, the San Antonio Spurs basketball player Tony Parker, hosted a pre-wedding party on a boat along the Seine river in Paris.
Desperate Houswives Marcia Cross is also expected despite giving birth to twins in February, and other stars already in France for the wedding include ex-Arsenal star Thierry Henry, Sheryl Crow and Fantastic Four star Jessica Alba.
Other guests at their big day are expected to include Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones.
(Jessica Alba & Cash Warren Arrive)
The couple’s civil ceremony is required by French law and will precede Saturday’s religious ceremony, which will be held at Paris’s Eglise Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois, followed by a typically extravagant party at 17th-century castle, Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte, the setting for Kirsten Dunst’s Marie Antoinette film.
Eva and Tony have had an eventful week in France, the birthplace of Eva’s fiance. First they spent a week on a yacht celebrating their impending union with a joint his ‘n’ hers hen and stag parties.
Then following a romantic dinner in picturesque Mont Saint-Michel, a 6th-century medieval hamlet celebrated for its romantic views, the pair flew back to Paris, where they met up with 30 friends and family members for a tour of Disneyland Paris.
During the day trip the couple braved the Rockin’ Rollercoaster, squealing in unison through the high-speed drops.
Later, the loved up couple strolled around the fun park arm in arm and posed for photographs with fans, as well as Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
Now hours away from her big day, the actress is excited about showing off her gown which she has promised will be a showstopper.
Eva said: “My dress, my dress, my dress! I wish I could wear 10 dresses to my wedding. It’s so sad that you put it in storage and then never see it again.”
The wedding is set to be a star studded affair - Parker has booked Lionel Richie and Eva’s close friend Oscar-winning actor and singer Jamie Foxx to perform at the ceremony.
The couple have hired the entire Chateau for 6 and 7 July and their guests have been invited to stay in the numerous bedrooms and private apartments on the which will close to the public for the first time ever.
After the ceremony there will be a fountain show within the French style gardens.
But they will only have time for a very brief honeymoon - Longoria begins filming the next season of Desperate Housewives in Los Angeles just two days after the nuptials.

I had to bring it in... now what?
One of the seeds from the AGGS packet turned out to be this thing:
I think Jon gave it a tentative id of an annual chirita when it was still a baby. Well, a few months ago, I knocked it over, bending the stalk and breaking the top. But it's still growing.... Now it's about 3 ft tall and about the same wide, and the stem is about 2-3" in diameter. It is growing out of that small grey pot in the picture (6 or 7") - I was hoping that keeping it in a small pot might make it bloom earlier, but no......
Since our temperatures just dropped, I brought it in. I have no natural light to speak of, so the only thing I can provide is some space under the banks of fluorescents. But with the height of the plant, I'm not sure this will work very well.
What do you think? Do I have a chance of getting this to the flower and seed stage?


The Mitsubishi 3000gt headlight assembly is an important part of your automobile. This provides illumination when driving at nighttime and under inclement weather circumstances. To do its work appropriately, your headlamps are mounted securely on specially designed housings that connects them on the frame of your vehicle. Your lamp is attached to its switch on your vehicle's dashboard or steering wheel and to a relay that taps the electrical power source of your automobile.
The Mitsubishi 3000gt headlight assembly is categorized as a sealed type of lamp. A sealed lamp is common to original part , which is taken as one part; it is damaged and is replaced as one. A composite headlamp may be replaced in 'per part' that is commonly an aftermarket lamp. Performance-wise, both lamp constructions are known to function effectively through intense situations.
After some time, your Mitsubishi 3000gt headlight assembly will get busted. You can choose to replace it with an OE-style or a composite aftermarket. Right here at Parts Train, we have both types from world-class GT Styling, Wade Auto, Hella, or Replacement brands.

Birchwood’s Band Teacher is Mr. Brian Langille
- to provide an opportunity for students to play a music instrument
- to develop and enhance musicianship through performance
- to allow the student to experience the rewards of working together in pursuit of a common goal
- to develop the music playing/reading ability of each student.
The importance of practice cannot be overemphasized. This is where the concepts and skills introduced in class are perfected. Without regular home practice, sufficient skill development rarely occurs.There is an expectation to practice outside of regular school music classes and rehearsals. Each student should be prepared to practice at home for 20 minutes per day, five days per week. This extra practice may also be done before and after school in the band room at Birchwood. Extra help is also available at these times if students are experiencing difficulties with their instrument or note-reading.
Each of our instrumental music classes has a chance to perform at various venues and band festivals throughout the school year. Some of these performance opportunities include school concerts, Beginning Band Days, The Maritime Music Festival held each year at the Confederation Center of the Arts, and the Atlantic Band Festival held in Halifax.
The 2019-2020 rehearsal schedule will be posted when information becomes available.
Care of the instrument is the sole responsibility of the student. Students are instructed as to proper handling of their instrument. In the event that the instrument develops a problem when away from school, please DO NOT attempt to repair it yourself. Often the problem can be easily solved by the band director.
Parents/Guardians and students should be aware that this Instrumental Program is a THREE-YEAR COMMITMENT. Your son/daughter must seriously consider this commitment before enrolling in this fun educational program. This program involves regular work at home and parental involvement is very important. Encouragement is the most effective kind of support. Parents/guardians are also invited to be active in the band organization by assisting in organizing fund-raising activities and concert events.


Oct. 21 is #BackToTheFuture Day. Seemingly every automaker and public relations outlet is angling to use the time travel flick/pop culture nostalgia-bomb to bolster their #brand.
Stanford University wanted in on the fun, too. So its engineers built a tire-shredding electric car using the stainless steel shell of a DeLorean. It’s named Marty, and its cold mechanical mind can execute perfect parking-lot drifts with frightening mechanical precision.
Yes, Marty comes equipped with an autonomous drift mode. Will the dawn of the self-driving car steal from us even the simple joy of whippin’ donies in an empty parking lot? We hope not, but this gives us some hope that our wheeled robotic overlords don’t have to be completely soulless. Or maybe that’s just what they want us to think.
According to an Automotive News report, high-po electric car expertise for this project came courtesy of Renovo Motors, which is said to be working on a non-DeLorean-based high-dollar electric supercar of its own.
You’ll notice we didn’t try to work in any sick "BTTF" references into this piece. This is because we respect you, dear reader. Instead, we’ve grouped them together below for your convenience:
1. “Are you telling me you built a self-driving electric drift machine … out of a DeLorean?”
2. “Gasoline? Where we’re going, we don’t need gasoline.”
3. “Drivers? Where we’re going, we don’t need drivers.”
Anyway, that's all we've got. Enjoy the video up top.

The SVG Indian Heritage Foundation was formed at a chance gathering of a few Vincentians of Indian origin at Indian Bay on August 16, 2005 when family members visited the Baptiste home. Present were Lenroy Thomas, Lucel Jenks Thomas, Deniston Bacchus, Denzil Bacchus and members of the Baptiste family including Osley Baptiste, Elvira Baptiste, Anna Insanali and Veda Scully.
Destiny must have brought the group together on that historic occasion as no one had planned to meet there on that eventful day for that purpose. When I brought up the idea of forming an Indian organization, everyone present exploded with the same desire for this to be a reality. The formation of an organization to advance the cause of the East Indians in St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) must have been on the hearts of many Indo-Vincentians over the years. Several people may have thought about the idea and considered the advantages of having such an organization formed. I have been told that attempts were made as early as the 1960s by people such as Mr. Donnelly Bacchus and later by Mr. Osley Baptiste to establish an entity with focus on the Indians of SVG.
The formation of the Indo-Vincentian organization in North America must also be given credit for its work in its effort to bring the Indians of SVG together in North America. However, it was only until August 16, 2005 at 6:00 pm that firm actions were taken to establish an organization for the Indians of SVG and those in the Diaspora. The impromptu meeting at Indian Bay later got structured and the name “SVG Indian Heritage Foundation” was proposed. We later had a ‘brain-storming” session where we discussed what should be the purpose of the Foundation. Many ideas were put forward including: the apparent lack of a strong identity of Vincentian children overseas; the history of the Indians in SVG; genealogy; efforts to start Indian Associations in the past; cultural affiliation and exchanges with regional Indian organizations; establishing Indo-Vincentians chapters overseas; the Hindu religion; the exchange of information etc.
One of the most significant ideas that came out of the meeting was that the new organization should place great emphasis on the sharing of pertinent information such as our history and genealogy among Indians both in SVG and in the Diaspora. The meeting agreed to take action to have the name of the new organization registered as a “not-for-profit” entity. It was agreed that the formation of the organization should be published and a suitable venue should be sorted for a general meeting. An advertisement was therefore placed in the Searchlight newspaper, which brought attention to the formation of the group. A few months later I was contacted by the editor of the Searchlight newspaper who wanted to feature the different cultural groups of SVG in the Searchlight issue during the week in which National Heroes Day (March 14) was celebrated. On that occasion therefore an article about the East Indians of SVG was featured in the Searchlight of March 17, 2006 which generated a stir in the minds of the people of SVG and abroad and created a huge response by several members of the Indian community and also initiated wider National discussion. A subsequent article invited the public`s “…ideas, suggestions and contributions”.
Interest was therefore generated in SVG and in the Diaspora and later a lecture was presented by Vincentian Indian historian, Dr. Arnold Thomas at the UWI on June 1, 2006. Additional members of the Indian community became involved and after further outdoor activities at Argyle and informal meetings an official meeting was held at the Pitani Resort, Argyle on July 20, 2006 where the first formal Executive of the SVG Indian Heritage Foundation was elected. The SVGIHF therefore began its task of representing and catering for the needs of the Indo-Vincentian community.
The passing of an Act on March 26, 2007 by the Parliament of St. Vincent and the Grenadines to recognize June 1st as Indian Arrival Day and October 7 as SVG Indian Heritage Day was one of the most significant accomplishment of the SVGIHF. However, of interest also are the other important events of the Foundation`s early years.
May 26th, 2021
Following is an addition to the above by Lenroy Thomas, which will be included in his book, Stories of our Indian Elders, to be published soon.
The early years of the Foundation were exciting ones where history was created for the Indians of SVG having had legislation passed in Parliament about them in particular. The last legislations which focus on the Indians of SVG would have been more than a hundred years previously. So the generations living at the beginning of the twenty-first century would have never heard the government discussing any topic related to the Indians of SVG, specifically. Mention must be made of some of the persons who were instrumental in propelling the early movement of the Foundation to achieve its successes.
There are several persons who shaped the way forward for the organisations holding regular meetings at Mr Osley Baptiste house, Macedonia Rock Hotel, the Helping Hands building in New Montrose, and residences in other areas of St. Vincent. Persons on the several committees in early days included Mr Lenroy Thomas, Mr Denzil Bacchus, Mr Osley Baptiste, Mr Noel Bacchus, Ms Janice Dean, Mr Branson Thomas, Mr Elmore Gaymes, Mrs Cheryl Rodriguez, Mr Junior Bacchus, Mrs Anna Insanali neé Baptiste, Mr Hannif Sutherland, Dr Junior Bacchus and Mrs Glenda Joyette. Appendix IV is a copy of the registration document of the Foundation which shows the members of the first formal committee but there were several others who contributed to the formation of the organisation.
Dr. Arnold Thomas who had done extensive research on the Indians of St. Vincent also played a significant role in sensitising the public with his articles, presentations and liaising with officials from the Governments of SVG and India and with Indian organisations such as GOPIO, the Global Organisation of People of Indian Origin and the NCIC, National Council of Indian Culture in Trinidad and Tobago. He, along with Mr. Branson Thomas also supported and propelled the organisation especially in the communities of Calder and Argyle.
The Honourable Rene Baptiste, previous minister of Culture of the government of SVG also played an important role in the Foundation’s relationship with the government and has been supporting it since its launch. She was also the Parliamentarian who moved the motion to have the Act to recognize Indian Arrival Day passed on March 26, 2007. She was at Argyle earlier when the first formal Executive Committee was selected and symbolically presented the Register of Indians to the Foundation. She was also given the privilege of honouring some members of the Foundation with commemorative pins.
Mr Hanif Sutherland who arranged to have these pins made was also the designer of the logo of the Foundation. He also provided the technical services in setting up the first Website of the Foundation in 2006-2007 with Mr Lenroy Thomas and himself as administrators and forum moderators. Mr Lenroy Thomas and others in the diaspora later set up a Facebook group which lasted ten years until a new website was set up with the assistance of Mr Noel Thomas. A new Facebook page and group have since been set up by the website team, managed by Mr Lenroy Thomas, Mr Noel Thomas and Mr Colvin Harry.
The support of Mr Khani Kangal, President of the National Council of Indian Culture in Trinidad and Tobago must also be mentioned. At the first opportunity, he accepted to assist the Foundation. He was there for its launch and took pride in seeing the St. Vincent’s Register of Indians highlighted for the first time. Over the years he was instrumental in sending various cultural groups, dancers and resource personnel to St. Vincent and would be present for important functions of the Foundation.
Over the last sixteen years, the Foundation has made several strides under the leadership of four presidents, namely Mr Elmore Gaymes, Dr Junior Bacchus, Mr Hansby King and Mr Junior Bacchus. In addition to those achievements mentioned above, the Foundation established a formal relationship with the government of India. The Minister of Overseas Affairs of India, Vayalar Ravi visited SVG on the occasion of the celebration of Indian Arrival Day on June 1, 2007. This was a significant event as no Minister of the Indian government had ever visited SVG before. The first Honorary Consul of India to SVG, Mr Junior Bacchus was appointed in 2020, also a first.
The Foundation has hosted other Indian officials in SVG, hosted annual Yoga class, annual Indian Arrival Day, Annual Indian Heritage Day and the first International India Diaspora Conference was held in SVG on June 1-3, 2012. It has also facilitated visits to schools giving cultural presentations. It has conducted negotiations with the government of SVG on behalf of members of the Indian community.
The current Executive Committee of the Foundation is as follows: President, Mr Junior Bacchus; First Vice President, Mr. Dave Baptiste; Secretary and Website Administrator; Mrs Luann Hadaway; Vice President, Culture, Mr Denzil Bacchus; Vice President, Regional Coordinator, Mr Laurel Thomas; Assistant Secretary, Mrs Anna Insanali (Baptiste); Treasurer, Mrs Cheryl Rodriguez; Public Relations Officer and Website Administrator (SVG), Colvin Harry. Overseas Website and Facebook Administrators are Mr Noel Thomas, Mr Lenroy Thomas and Mr Shawn Bullock.
The Foundation was “…formed to represent the interest of the East Indian community of SVG and those in the diaspora. It aims to instil a greater sense of pride in our heritage and culture. It seeks to create opportunities for Indo-Vincentians to learn more about and preserve their history, to create and strengthen relationships and to improve all other aspects of the Indian community.” The Foundation has made monumental progress in the last sixteen years.
