Gomez was originally from General Santos City. He was a member of the MBLT 7 Striking Battalion in the Philippine Navy (Marines).
Lots of netizens commented their opinions about the fallen soldier’s fate. Here were some gathered:
“our condolences to our fallen soldiers, you were pressed on everyside but never crushed, were perflexed but never in despair, in persecution you were never abandoned, and though you were struck down but never distroyed..indeed you are our heroes…your deeds are never been forgotten…MABUHAY KAYONG MGA SUNDALONG NAGBHUWIS NG INYONG MGA BUHAY SA NGALAN NG SERBISYO SA INANG BAYAN.”

“We salute you our heroes. You are the pride of our country.You sacrificed your lives to save other peoples lives.We thank you.God bless your soul.”

PORT ARTHUR —
An audit by the Regional Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development states the management and board of commissioner of the Housing Authority of Port Arthur failed to exercise their fiduciary responsibilities and lists a series of examples of ways the PAHA failed to comply with federal requirements on how funds were handled.
The PAHA, under Executive Director Seledonia Quesada and board chairman the Rev. Ronnie Linden, “failed to ensure that basic controls were in place over the Authority’s financial operations, ensure compliance with procurement requirements, and adequately plan and undertake capital improvements,” the audit, dated June 1, states in its conclusion.
“Meanwhile, they spent lavishly on items that benefited them personally. As a result of their actions, the Authority incurred questioned costs of more than $5.9 million and was in violation of its annual contributions contract. In addition, the Authority’s lack of controls put it at substantial risk for fraud, errors, and improper payments,” the audit states.

Residents of an East York residential street were without water on Wednesday after two sinkholes created deep pockmarks in the pavement.
A resident of Glenwood Cres. called police at 2:50 p.m. after spotting two sinkholes and a depression in the pavement. Water was seen spurting from the holes.
Sgt. Gary Woods attended the scene and estimated the largest hole to be about 3.5 metres by 2.5 metres. Subsequent media reports suggest the hole had lengthened to about 7.5 metres.
“Right now the engineers are looking at about 24 hours to repair it,” Woods said.
Woods explained that a watermain break under the road pushed away dirt that was underneath the concrete, causing the depressions. Engineers were forced to shut off water access to nearby houses while they cleaned up the mess.
Nearby residents struggled to make do without water on Wednesday night.
“Looks like we’re going to have microwaved leftovers tonight,” said Sarah Fairweather, who lives across from one of the sinkholes.
No one informed Fairweather as to when the water would be back.
“The main issue is the use of toilets and washing in the morning,” she said.

I read this book about 13-May-2015. This is the first time I've read this book. The book is copyright 2012. This note was last modified Saturday, 16-May-2015 00:25:54 PDT.
This is book 7 of the "Honor Bound" series.
This note contains spoilers for the book.
Written with his son William E. Butterwork IV, as all recent ones have been.
Yeah, out of order again, I read the continuation of this story previously.
Cleanup after WWII, and trying to save the Gehlen network of spies in the East (especially the Soviet Union, which everybody is focusing on as the new enemy). This involved a decision to save some people who were in fact despicable Nazis; the choice offered us was all the Abwehr Ost people and their families, or nothing. The characters in this book, at least, arew aware of which are which, and we somehow never end up having to deal with the bad ones as good guys.
Introducing a new character, Lieutenent Cronley, who grew up near Cletus Frade and has the same rich-boy attitude of being able to do what he sees as right. So far he and Frade haven't come to blows.
The story of U-234 and its cargo of uranium plays out through this book. Since the enriched form of uranium used for a bomb is U-235, that boat ID kicks me every time, but I assume it's a historical fact. Which leaves it being weird that nobody in the book notices; but they probably know a lot less about atomic bombs than I do, even the ones cleared to have information.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lowland Wars Open Beta' started by [ATA]Grant, Nov 16, 2015.
Post feedback on this week's Beta Lowland Wars here.
DTS is happening to some of our cr's.. not allowing us to hit otheds
DTS is an issue for some of my team members. A few people on bottom get DTS when going for attacks and it's slightly messing things up in my war
I am DTW to all on opposing team, they are all DTS to me. Surely dtw/dts should be off in Lowland Wars? I am a useless duck for my team currently.
So right now I have 4 people who can only hit the bottom 5 of the enemy roster
at least they can hit people, everyone is dts to me for some reason el em ay oh
Why are they all random? Really curious, thank you.
Maybe because in a random KO, people are guaranteed to come up till the last second. (If got koed/skoed before :5)
This gives players maximum time to observe and probably give Co structure feedback.
It's in a way increasing your sample space.
This war sucks lol we getting hammered by them and yet half cant hit back cuz it says you are too weak for this opponent. This one sided garbage is worst then primal
Says everyone is up in other side when u have troops or spies when ko'd.
Difficult determining initial targets.... have to scout other side and do the math (adjusted for ll) to determine stats / who is good target. Ability to scout goes away when game is reloaded. Is it possible to show adjusted stats somewhere on profile page?
Can't use items or mith, but still have BFA / BFE? Hhmmm.
Seems like you're missing a comma on plunder earned.... oh wait, it's ll. Lol.
well the plot is thickening; it is now apparent that whilst the entire enemy team is dts to me, I am NOT dtw to them - they can hit me, but when I go to hit back I get "enemy is too strong" or w/e it is lol
Thanks for the feedback on DTW/DTS so far. We're going to try running Lowland Wars with DTW/DTS turned off during tomorrow's war slots, so please try those out as well and share your thoughts as well.
Are u gonna fix rewards so all participants get something for today then? Cuz i dont see anyone partcipating in the second war with DTS/DTW on knowing they will most likely lose due to that fact theycan get matched up with some 100mc that can hit them but they cant return on them
you get rewarded ee
Re: Lowland War Feedbac
Not sure why DTW AND DTS are in this it doesn't work right at all. And why prevent those who are down from sweeping? Why does that make any sense?
why would dtw/dts be on... If only the stats from LL are being used, only those stats should be used to calculate hit ranges also. Moreover, why are the huge accounts able to hit down but the smalls unable to hit up? Seems rather foolish.
There is a mith glitch as well. managed to cast stat spells and they work
devs this is stupid as hell; enemy team is hitting and plundering me but all are "defender is too strong" when I go to hit back???????
Would be nice to see the LL stats of the enemy/our own team at least during war rather than randomly battering people and hoping it's a success

XmlReader.Create Method (XmlReader, XmlReaderSettings)
Assembly: System.Xml (in system.xml.dll)
public static function Create ( reader : XmlReader, settings : XmlReaderSettings ) : XmlReader
The XmlReader object that you wish to use as the underlying reader.
The XmlReaderSettings object used to configure the new XmlReader instance.
The conformance level of the XmlReaderSettings object must either match the conformance level of the underlying reader, or it must be set to Auto.
Return ValueAn XmlReader object that is wrapped around the specified XmlReader object.
The reader value is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
If the XmlReaderSettings object specifies a conformance level that is not consistent with conformance level of the underlying reader.
This method allows you add additional features to an underlying XmlReader object. The underlying XmlReader object can be another XmlReader object created by the Create method, or an XmlReader object created using one of the concrete XmlReader implementations.
A default XmlUrlResolver with no credentials is used to access any external resources such as a schema. If the external resource is located on a network resource that requires authentication, specify an XmlResolver with the necessary credentials using the XmlReaderSettings.XmlResolver property.
You can use one of the following methods to control which resources the XmlReader can access:
Restrict the resources that the XmlReader can access by setting the XmlResolver property to an XmlSecureResolver object.
Do not allow the XmlReader to open any external resources by setting the XmlResolver property to a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
The created XmlReader object expands entity references and performs XML normalization of new line characters.
The following example creates a validating XmlReader object that is wrapped around an XmlNodeReader object.
To see the complete sample go to Validation Using a Wrapped XmlReader Object.
// Create the XmlNodeReader object. XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); doc.Load("books.xml"); XmlNodeReader nodeReader = new XmlNodeReader(doc); // Set the validation settings.

Accelerate ESG goals with the new Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability
- Posted on November 1, 2021
- Estimated reading time 2 minutes
The business case for sustainability is clear. We’re all experiencing unprecedented weather events in our daily lives and becoming more acutely aware of the need to better protect the planet and people through continual change. There’s no doubt that organizations are increasingly recognizing their responsibility to take urgent climate positive action. Over the course of this year, we’ve seen a significant uptick in requests from clients to help them take advantage of digital technologies to accelerate towards net zero.
Transparency is trust
For most organizations, the initial priority is to use digital to set and meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals to become more sustainable faster. Transparency is critical, as customers, employees and partners will spurn organizations that don’t consistently deliver on and demonstrate their ESG commitments. Not making enough progress – or greenwashing – is now a reputation risk.
The launch of the Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability will equip your organization to go beyond capturing data to generating impactful sustainability insights, so you can more quickly identify and take climate positive actions. This new cloud offering is designed to help you set responsible sustainability goals and effectively record, report and reduce carbon emissions, providing the transparency required to build and maintain stakeholder trust.
Rethink sustainability to repeatedly renew and grow
However, achieving ESG goals can’t be the endpoint. If sustainability doesn’t become core to how you do business, it won’t endure. Beyond making a positive impact on the planet and people, you need to rethink sustainability to be a driver of profitability and growth. Digitally mature organizations know that becoming more inclusive, responsible and sustainable inspires innovation to keep business models resilient and diversify revenue streams across multiple ecosystems securely. For example, SSE Renewables is using cloud, data and AI to generate insights to reimagine its operations so it can remain resilient through change and develop renewables services that positively contribute to the United Kingdom’s net zero targets.
How Avanade can help
The Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability provides a platform for you to make sustainability core to how you do business, so your organization can repeatedly renew and grow through continual change. As one of a select group of global Microsoft sustainability partners and a member of the Green Software Foundation, we bring insights and expertise to help you rethink sustainability and drive maximum business value from the Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability.

Gordon Brown will offer British help to the Nigerian government – to fight rebels in the oil-producing Niger delta – at a meeting in London next week with President Umaru Yar'Adua, Downing Street said.
The prospect of British intervention in the delta conflict has prompted the end of a ceasefire in the region and drawn accusations of neo-colonialism from rebel groups. They also accuse the Nigerian government of illegal actions.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman said the focus will be on providing training for the Nigerian military. He said: "Oil supply from Nigeria has been undermined by insecurity in the Niger delta. This is bad for the local population, bad for workers, bad for the Nigerian government and the stability of the whole region. The President of Nigeria is visiting London next week and the Prime Minister will have an opportunity to discuss these issues with him then."
Mr Brown's statement on Wednesday that Britain stood "ready to give help to the Nigerians to deal with the lawlessness that exists in this area and to achieve levels of production that Nigeria is capable of", led to a rebel group called the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (Mend) to say it will call off its ceasefire today.
In another blow to the prospect of a peaceful resolution to the crisis in the delta, a senior UN official chosen by Nigeria to organise peace talks resigned after militant groups questioned his neutrality. Ibrahim Gambari, a special adviser to the secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, was Nigeria's envoy to the United Nations in 1995 when the writer Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other oil activists were hanged by the military government of Sani Abacha.
Mr Gambari had said he would seek a 90-day truce with militants to pave the way for formal talks but Mend and other groups had rejected his involvement, saying he had defended Mr Abacha's actions against international condemnation.
But he said yesterday: "My name has become the issue in place of the attempt at finding a just and lasting solution to the crisis in the Niger delta. In light of this, I wish to be excused as the chairman of the steering committee of the summit."
Meanwhile, the Nigerian media have reported movements of government troops to the region. Most of the soldiers have been deployed to take over existing checkpoints in the city of Yenagoa and its environs, while new ones are being created at strategic locations in and around Yenagoa.Reuse content

There is a massive and unfortunate typo in the Lonely Planet’s Western Balkans (1st edition, 2006). It reads:
“Unfortunately, Montenegro’s capital, Podgorica, is its most unattractive spot. With no sights and only expensive hotels, it is really a place to go only for a half-day, if you need to do your errands. It also becomes cauldron-hot in the summer, so don’t say you weren’t warned. It is a much wiser choice to go south and stay on the coast.” (p. 309)
I first came to Montenegro five years ago. I was traveling through the Balkans, and this was the only place I came to that had an outlet to the sea, so I was really coming to explore the coast. I had no real intention of coming to Podgorica, but even if I had, this Lonely Planet entry surely would have dissuaded me. This time, however, I was coming to do research and meet artists, so Podgorica was the place to be. When preparing for this trip, however, this paragraph about the city stuck in my mind from when I had read it five years ago, and I had some trepidations about coming.
I was also a bit nervous because I didn’t really have any contacts here. I had scheduled five full days in Podgorica, but only had two potential meetings. As I flew in on my connecting flight from Belgrade, I began to wonder if I had made a big mistake in including Montenegro on my trip. After all, one of the most significant performance artists from Montenegro, Ilja Soskic, currently lives in Rome, so I wouldn’t even be able to meet with him. What had I gotten myself into?
I arrived on a Sunday, which is probably a day that the Lonely Planet writer spent here. It was hot, and I took a short walk into town to get my bearings. I found a compact city laid out in an easily navigable grid, its streets lined with outdoor cafes and bars – all of them empty. The city was like a ghost town. Was the Lonely Planet right? Was this going to be five wasted days?
I calmed myself down by telling myself that everyone must be at the beach. After all, Montenegro’s stunning coastline is only about an hour from its capital. I settled into my hotel for the night, anxious but optimistic about what the next days would bring.
On Monday morning I saw a much different picture of Podgorica – the cafes came to life and the streets filled with people. Living in Aberdeen, one thing I really miss is outdoor drinking and dining; its simply too cold there. But not in Podgorica! I started my day by attempting to check out Montenegro’s Center for Contemporary Art, located in the beautiful Petrovic Palace. I walked about a half hour across town, climbed up the marble staircase to the top of the hill, only to find it closed. I love walking up big hills to contemporary art centers and modern art museums to find them closed, really I do. I loved it in Prishtina (although admittedly, the hill wasn’t that big), loved it in Skopje, so why not in Podgorica, too? I thought that since I was there anyway I would maybe check out the library or archive if they had one, so I knocked on the door and asked if there was anyone there who spoke English. The woman I spoke to called for someone else, who told me to go to the next building, ask for “so-and-so” (a name I immediately forgot), and they could help me. I went to the second building, asked if anyone spoke English, was told to sit down and wait. The kind man I spoke to made a phone call, and proceeded to hand me the phone. A conversation ensued in which I understood that the woman I was speaking to was a translator for the museum and the wife of the man who gave me the phone. I explained to her what I was looking for, and she asked me to give the phone back to her husband. They exchanged a few words, and he escorted me to the door, told me to go to the next building, and someone there would help me. And help me, they did. I was given catalogues, books and contacts for artists in the area whom I might contact about my research. I may not have seen the interior of the Center for Contemporary Art, but it did provide me with a window onto the art scene.
From there I proceeded to explore the city that, according to the Lonely Planet, only warranted half a day. I discovered a 15th-century Ottoman bridge, a lovely riverside cafe, the Turkish Old Town (Stara Varos), complete with two mosques and an 18th-century clock tower, the 16th-century St. George’s Church with its frescoes in tact, and perhaps the coolest place I have ever come across – not just in Podgorica but in general – the Karver Bookstore, located in a Turkish bathhouse, under a bridge (downtown). The city apparently lopped off the top half of the building to build the Novi Most Bridge, and someone with a vision recognized the potential in this place and turned it into a bookstore and cafe. The underside of the bridge is filled with graffiti, and the banks of the Ribnica River make it the ideal setting for the city’s bohemian crowd. Perhaps I should write for Lonely Planet?!
Podgorica is a city with great potential. It has a thriving cafe culture that makes it the ideal place for artists, writers, and intellectuals to while away the day. Let’s not forget that this country is filled with the spirit of the “grandmother of performance art,” Marina Abramovic herself (she was born in Belgrade, but her parents were both born in Montenegro). At night two of the main roads in the downtown area are closed to traffic, and pedestrians flood them, bringing life and vibrancy to the city as it cools off from the summer heat. (Oh, and “cauldron-hot in summer,” Lonely Planet? Well, that’s every city in the Balkans, really. If you can’t take the heat, then stay out of the cauldron, or the Balkans!) But Podgorica is also a really green city, with lovely parks dotting the downtown, and tree-lined streets keeping it shady. And there are all sorts of unusual and cool little places where interesting things could happen.
A lot of the artists I spoke to here lamented the fact that there were no real spaces for contemporary art in Podgorica. Even the already-petite Center for Contemporary Art will soon lose some of its exhibition space, which is being converted to offices. But I think there are real opportunities here to develop places for contemporary art, even pop-up or temporary venues. I suppose one of the good things about getting a bad write-up in the Lonely Planet (and, just to be fair, that paragraph was written several years ago, so maybe things were different then…) is that Podgorica is still kind of “off the beaten path,” so many of the interesting places and spaces that would be overrun with tourists or popular and mainstream in other cities are still captivating and unique, and full of potential to become a place where interesting things happen. Karver seems to be one of those places, but there are others yet to be discovered in Podgorica. So, don’t listen to your guidebooks. Podgorica’s the place to be!

Low density swarms of locusts are on the move in northern and central Victoria.
The locusts, helped by northerly winds, have been spotted in scattered sites across the region.
The Victorian plague locust commissioner, Gordon Berg, says the warm and wet weather is ideal for the pests.
He warns some crop damage is possible.
“For farmers in particular we’d recommend them monitoring the situation and looking for any signs of egg laying, because if they do lay eggs, the eggs will stay in the ground now during the winter and perhaps hatch in spring,” Mr Berg said.
“So we’d be wanting to know where egg laying is occurring.”
The Department of Primary Industries says people should report any sightings of significant locust numbers.

"The book talks about Charles Dickens and his writings in candid detail illustrating him as a person and an accomplished writer of his age. It also carries critical notes on all his works and discusses his style of fiction vis-a-vis his contemporaries. Storytelling of Dickens is filled with humor and pathos of the characters, real and live, picked up from around the contemporary Victorian society, topped and spiced to suit his design of plots, which kept a whole lot of his readers engrossed. No wonder they enjoyed his episodic tales and waited eagerly for fresh issues of his monthly journals to show up on stands.
The book is divided into four sections each devoted to address exclusive facets of the writer's life. Section-one is about Charles Dickens and his times which tells Dickens' growth as a man, writer and the story teller while focusing on his art, veracity, and moral purpose of his writings. His characterization, satiric portraiture of people, humour and pathos of situations and characters and style of prose.
Section two carries criticism of his 24 important works ranging from Sketches by Boz and Pickwick Papers to Edwin Drood and Master Humphrey's Clock.
Section Three is the critical assessment of his works at large, the moral critic his works in the light of class and social origin, his views on poverty and class distinction, facts and imagination without any depth of reason and his literary qualities irrespective of the content. The section also gauges his limitations and secrets behind immense popularity.
Section four includes his important letters to Wilkie Collins and his referable speeches during his famous lecture tours. Thus the book is fine desk reference for a Dickens enthusiast." (jacket)

Model-turned-actress Kate Upton considered deleting all her social media accounts after her nude pictures were leaked online last year.
The “Other Woman” star was among the female celebrities caught up in the Hollywood hacking, during which intimate pictures stolen by cyber criminals were posted on the Internet.
Upton admits she was furious about the leak, telling the London Evening Standard newspaper, “It was very difficult. It’s an invasion of my privacy and it’s not OK. It’s illegal. People don’t have a right to look at those photos or judge them.”
The blonde beauty goes on to admit she longs to log off all her social media accounts in a bid to protect her privacy, but knows she needs to use sites such as Twitter.com to stay in the public eye, adding, “I fantasize about deleting my social media accounts. But I can’t.”
Other stars caught up in the hacking scandal included Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, reality TV star Kim Kardashian and actress Scarlett Johansson.
Taylor Swift’s Twitter and Instagram.com accounts were briefly taken over by hackers, who threatened to release nude photos of the pop superstar, on Tuesday.
The singer, who has been on vacation in Hawaii, awoke on Tuesday morning to discover her Twitter profile had been infiltrated by cyber criminals calling themselves the ‘Lizard Squad,’ who called on her 71 million fans to follow the hackers’ accounts.
They then gained access to Swift’s Instagram account too, and posted similar messages online, claiming to be in possession of naked snaps of the singer, which they would release for a small fee.
Swift used her Tumblr.com blog to alert devotees to the cyber attack, revealing, “This is going to be a long day”, but social networking officials managed to move quickly and shut down the illegal access, in addition to the hackers’ Twitter accounts.
Returning to Twitter, the star made light of the situation by amending the lyrics of her hit song Shake It Off, writing, “Cause the hackers gonna hack, hack, hack, hack, hack…”
She also gave a special shout out to Paramore’s Hayley Williams, who alerted her pal to the strange messages, adding, “I’d like to acknowledge the MVP of the day, @yelyahwilliams, for being the first to text me about the hack this morning. #FriendshipGoals”.
And Swift made it clear the alleged nude photos don’t exist, tweeting, “PS any hackers saying they have ‘nudes’? Psssh you’d love that wouldn’t you! Have fun photoshopping cause you got NOTHING.”
The Lizard Squad members claim they are the same group behind the Sony PlayStation and Xbox Live gaming hacks last year, while they also allege to have caused Facebook and Instagram to go down briefly on Monday.
A cyber-crook who stole personal information from celebrities including Scarlett Johansson, Ryan Reynolds and Mila Kunis has insisted hacking stars’ email accounts was easy.
Christopher Chaney, 36, from Florida, pleaded guilty last month to nine felony charges, including identity theft, wiretapping, and unauthorized access to a protected computer.
He is facing up to 60 years in jail after he admitted hacking into email addresses belonging to more than 50 celebrities and stealing personal data – including nude photos of Johansson – and now he’s spoken out to reveal how simple it was to access the accounts.
Chaney insists once he broke into one unnamed star’s account – using details freely available on the internet – he searched her inbox and found emails from dozens of other famous faces, enabling him to add them to his list of targets.
He tells GQ magazine, “You feel like you’ve seen something that the rest of the world wanted to see. But you’re the only one that’s seen it. It’s the whole ‘Star Trek’ thing – going where no man has gone before.”
Chaney admits he was first tempted to try out email hacking after reading how Miley Cyrus was targeted by cyber-crooks in 2008, adding, “I was like, ‘How hard could this be if it’s happening all the time?'”
Chaney is due to be sentenced in July.

From Blue Racer to Black Scrambler…
Back in 2020, we featured a 1979 BMW R100RT “Blue Racer” from Sebastien Ledis of France’s Seb’s Atelier. Though Sebastien is a bit of a Ducati aficionado, the iconic German boxer seduced him with its simplicity and character:
“It’s the myth of riding a flat twin BMW. It’s an icon… Engine noise, vibrations, the smell of exhaust and petrol — a real motorcycle. No need to have fifty assistances, fifteen thousand information points, as there are on new motorcycles today.”
The blue cafe racer was a personal project, but Seb ended up selling it to an existing customer:
“I’d already made him a BMW R80 G/S, and he wanted a second motorbike for his country house. One for the city and the other for the countryside.”
However, as the customer has back issues, he quickly realized that he needed an upright riding position more reminiscent of a an enduro motorcycle, not a cafe racer. So the decision was made to rebuild the Blue Racer from the ground up, transforming it into a 70s-style enduro / scrambler. Besides the riding position, knobby tires, and motocross-style bars, Sebastien was given carte blanche to do what he wanted.
“In my workshop, I found an old Suzuki GT 125 fuel tank and an AMF 125 SXT handlebar lying around, as well as two aluminum mudguards — the project was launched!”
Rarely do we see a well-sorted custom of one kind wholly transformed into a different style, but Sebastien says it didn’t bother him to give the bike such a substantial revision — he’d ridden the Blue Racer for years, and he can always build another one.
“I had no problem disassembling my motorcycle to completely redo it. The customer pays? I redo what he wants.”
Below, we talk to Seb for the full details on this 70s-style BMW scrambler.
BMW R100 Scrambler: Builder Interview
• Did you have any design inspirations for the build?
I was inspired by enduro / cross motorcycles from the 70s. The project was focused on a scrambler style motorcycle with knobby tires, cross handlebars, and the customer wanted to be upright on the motorcycle because he has back problems. For the rest, “carte blanche” — I do what I want to do.
• What custom work was done to the bike?
We started off with my old motorbike, the blue BMW cafe racer, and almost the whole bike has been changed. BMW R100RT suspension, fork, brake, tires, original rear loop modified, seat, fuel tank from a Suzuki GT 125cc, handlebars from AMF 125 SXT, aluminium mudguard, lighting…etc.
• What’s it like to ride the completed bike ?
Well, having completely revised the bike, first as a cafe racer and now as a scrambler — the same bike and two different styles. Riding it is completely different!
• Was there anything done during this build that you are particularly proud of ?
“Recycling.” Take a motorbike, redo it entirely, and the customer is happy with the result. Also, I’m proud that people often think that this motorcycle could have existed in the 70s. The satisfaction of a job well done.


as sh Here's my interview with singer Lisa Mann of the band, Splintered Throne, enjoy her musical rigins.
How'd you get started in music?
I have loved music since I was a child, my parents always had music playing in the house. Even as a small child I knew I wanted to be a musician. When I was 11-12 years old I walked home from school and saved my lunch money to buy my first bass from a pawn shop. When I was 16 I played my first gigs, with a crossover band called Dead Conspiracy. By the time I was 19 I was playing full time in Top 40 dance and rock bands. Later I became an original blues artist, now I am foraying back into the metal music I listened to in my youth, with my recording project White Crone, and now singing with Splintered Throne. To make a long story short, I guess I got started in grade school!
Who are your inspirations or influences?
I play different styles of music, so I have influences that vary. For blues and soul music, I love singers like Etta James, Koko Taylor, Little Milton, BB King, and more, and bass players like Johnny B Gayden, James Jamerson and Bob Babbitt. For heavy metal, singers like Bruce Dickinson, Ronnie James Dio, Eric Adams, and Rob Halford all influenced me heavily, and for bass playing, it's players like Steve Harris, Bob Daisley, Timi Hansen, Geddy Lee and others. But I am definitely inspired and influenced by everything I hear in every style, even classical music.
What advice would you offer aspiring performers?
I would say if you want to perform music, it's important that you get out of the woodshed and play with other people as much as possible. And when you do, be sure to listen to each other, don't just play for yourself. Play or sing for the song- everything you do should be about the song, not about you. You should care far more about the whole song the audience is hearing than about how cool you sound. If you approach things that way, great musicians are going to want to play with you, and audiences are going to want to support you.
How do you set yourselves apart from other bands or singers?
I've been doing music professionally for a long time, in many different styles. So I guess I would say well-roundedness sets me apart. Also the musical knowledge I've gained over the years has come in very handy, especially when working with a band like Splintered Throne. I'm not playing bass in that band, or guitar for that matter, but I understand music well enough to really participate in the songwriting process.
Any new gigs or albums in the future?
Right now we are very focused on promoting our latest Splintered Throne album, The Greater Good of Man. We just want to get that album thundering in as many eardrums as possible!

Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's Mumabi reception in Mumbai was a star-studded affair, there were many big names from cricketing world like Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma but no one expected former Indian team coach Anil Kumble to attend the event. Kumble had a fall out with Kohli after he stepped down from the post of head coach. Kumble was appointed as the head coach of the Indian cricket team in June 2016 and during his one-year term, the Kohli-led Team India won five consecutive Test series from June 2016-March 2017, all at home turf.

Al Qaeda in Yemen called for more lone wolf attacks against its "main enemy," America, and praised the gunman who attacked two military facilities in Chattanooga, Tenn., last month.
"I urge you on America, for indeed it is the head of kufr (disbelievers) and the caretaker of all corruption," Abu al-Miqdad al-Kindi said in a video obtained by the SITE Intelligence Group Tuesday. "Direct your spears towards them. When the head collapses, the body collapses."
The same day as the video's release, the group's chief bomb-maker purportedly issued a letter claiming "America is first," according to CNN.
"We urge you to strike America in its own home and beyond," Ibrahim al-Asiri reportedly wrote.
Al-Kindi, who was released from a Yemeni prison in April, called for lone acts of terror, claiming they've proved to be "a strategic weapon."
The Al Qaeda leaders urged followers to act with "secrecy" and consult the extremist group's propaganda for tips.
The Yemen affiliate, known as AQAP, is one of the most active branches of the terrorist organization, intelligence officials said.
"We will never stop targeting them and threatening their security" unless America and European countries stop insulting Islam and supporting Israel, al-Kindi threatened in the nine minute video.
"If a western government was unable to protect its soldiers in its own soil, will it really be able to protect its citizens, who insult Islam and ridicule their prophets?" al-Kindi said.
"Blood for blood and fear with fear!" he said.

SEN. Panfilo Lacson will file next week smuggling and economic sabotage charges against detained former Customs chief Nicanor Faeldon for his alleged involvement in rice smuggling.
Lacson on Saturday clamied that he had completed the documents to justify the filing of charges of agricultural smuggling against Faeldon.
“Napakatibay ng kaso. Kumpleto ang dokumento (The case is strong. The documents are complete),” Lacson said in a radio interview.
“We have completed compiling the documents necessary to file anti-graft case and economic sabotage against former commissioner Faeldon,” he added.
The agricultural smuggling charge against Faeldon concerns his alleged involvement in the smuggling of rice worth P10 million, which is punishable under the Anti-Agriculture Smuggling Act of 2016, the lawmaker said.
“Dating ng dating ang dokumentong patungo sa kasong ifa-file namin (We keep on receiving documents that will lead us to file the case),” Lacson said.
Sought for comment, Faeldon’s lawyer, Jose Diño, dismissed Lacson’s threats.
“That is so funny. Press release lang ‘yan (That’s merely a press release),” Diño said.
“And he is just diverting attention from the ethics complaint that we filed against him. He cannot produce evidence (against Faeldon), that’s why,” Diño said in a phone interview.
The senator on August 23 gave a privilege speech entitled “Kita kita” (“I can see you”) wherein he accused Faeldon of benefitting from the “tara” (payoff) system at the Bureau of Customs.
Faeldon denounced Lacson for dragging his name into the smuggling scandal at the bureau and eventually refused to attend succeeding Senate probes into the smuggling of P6.4 billion worth of shabu from China in May.
The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee had cited Faeldon in contempt for snubbing the probe and detained him at the Senate. Faeldon dared Lacson to prove his allegations against him.
“Hinahamon ako ni Faeldon (Faeldon is challenging me), I’ll give it to him. You have to face this case in court,” he said.
The senator also said Customs fixer Mark Taguba will present evidence against Faeldon on Monday at the resumption of the shabu smuggling probe.
Lacson claimed Taguba would testify that Faeldon’s office had asked for a P250,000 “tara” to release his shipment. He said Taguba would present evidence that Faeldon himself asked for an additional P50,000.
“At pagkatapos noon na-release ang kargamento niya. So bahala na kayo mag-conclude pag narinig ninyo ang testimony ni Taguba (After that his shipments were released. So, it’s up to you to conclude once you hear the testimony of Taguba),” he said.
He added: “This is among the cases that we’re trying to develop and file against Faeldon.”
“Kasi ang taong ‘yan nagmamalinis. Ang pinakadelikadong tao sa mundo ang tanga na nagdudunung-dunungan at ‘yung corrupt na naglilinis-linisan (That man is trying to project a clean image. The most dangerous man on earth is one who is a fool but is trying to look smart and the corrupt one who acts as if he is clean),” Lacson said.

J. P. Oakes presents a fast-paced and razor-sharp dark fantasy. Contains mature themes.
"A fantastic book, full of wit and sharp humor, City of Iron and Dust careens through a modernized faerie at a breakneck pace, full of verve and unforgettable characters. Oakes spins a smart, electric, and sometimes snarky tale, showing that the beating heart of modern fantasy is alive and well."—John Hornor Jacobs, author of A Lush and Seething Hell and The Incorruptibles
The Iron City is a prison, a maze, an industrial blight. It is the result of a war that saw the goblins grind the fae beneath their collective boot heels. And tonight, it is also a city that churns with life. Tonight, a young fae is trying to make his fortune one drug deal at a time; a goblin princess is searching for a path between her own dreams and others' expectations; her bodyguard is deciding who to kill first; an artist is hunting for his own voice; an old soldier is starting a new revolution; a young rebel is finding fresh ways to fight; and an old goblin is dreaming of reclaiming her power over them all. Tonight, all their stories are twisting together, wrapped up around a single bag of Dust—the only drug that can still fuel fae magic—and its fate and theirs will change the Iron City forever.
Contains mature themes.

OTTAWA, Ont. – With all the brouhaha surrounding the recent US Department of Transportation launch of a “demonstration program” to finally apply the North American Free Trade Act to US/Mexico cross-border trucking, Canada’s ongoing attempts to get Mexico to recognize its rights under the Act are largely being ignored.
Except, of course, by Canadian carriers, some of whom have been waiting to have their applications to run into Mexico processed since NAFTA was signed in 1993.
“The consensus at CTA is that once the Mexican border opens to US carriers it should definitely open to us,” Ron Lennox, vice-president trade and security for the Canadian Trucking Alliance said following the association’s recent annual board meeting. “We’re not interested in taking part in the project, but we do think Canadian carriers should be allowed to enter into Mexico as called for in NAFTA.”
According to Lennox, a number of Canadian carriers made applications for authority to operate in Mexico after NAFTA was signed, but have since had no word from Mexican authorities.
The US DoT/Mexican truck demonstration program gives illegal (under NAFTA) precedence to the US, but even US carrier access to Mexico may be put on the backburner now that the US Senate has waded into the fray, heeding protests against the program from groups as widely diverse in their objectives as the Owner Operator Independent Drivers Association, the Teamsters and CRASH (Citizens for Reliable and Safe Highways).
Originally announced by the US DoT in late February, as a one-year program to allow 100 Mexican carriers to operate in the US following inspection and certification by US inspectors, followed by reciprocal access for US carriers, the program has since been assailed by a wave of criticism by these groups, claiming DoT is making roads dangerous for the US public.
“It is simply abhorrent to think that our government would allow Mexican trucks full access to US highways before all safety, economic and homeland security concerns are completely and appropriately addressed,” said Todd Spencer, OOIDA executive vice-president.
Since then, US politicians have introduced two bills aimed at putting a stick in the spokes of the wheels of the program, namely the NAFTA Trucking Safety Act of 2007, introduced by US Rep. Duncan Hunter, a Republican from California, on March 29 and the Safe American Roads Act of 2007, introduced by Rep. Nancy Boyda, a Democrat from Kansas, on March 30.
The bills were hailed as victories by the OOIDA.
“This legislation will go a long way to assure foreign trucks operating on US soil do not represent a threat to highway safety or to our homeland security. It will also ensure our nation will be in a position to enforce its laws on foreign trucks while they are here,” said OOIDA’s Spencer. But the bills have yet to be passed and, attached as they are to a Democrat-led funding bill for the war in Iraq which makes funding of troops conditional on a withdrawal schedule, will most likely be met with Presidential veto, say Washington insiders.
(Reactionary bills like these are often piggybacked on other, seemingly unrelated legislation in order to expedite them. It’s all part of the deal-making process of US politics.)
But while US politicians slam it out on the Senate floor, the US DoT is keeping its cool, secure in the knowledge that trucking provisions in NAFTA will have to be respected eventually, like it or not.
“The US Department of Transportation is committed to moving forward with this program and will continue to work with members of the US Congress to address their concerns,” said Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration spokesman Duane DeBryne, adding safety audits are already being conducted on Mexican carriers who’ve applied for the program. “The cross-border trucking demonstration program will bring real benefits and real dollars to the American economy while maintaining all US safety and security standards.”
Indeed, DoT has repeatedly provided assurances that road safety is a priority for the program, insisting no Mexican carrier will cross into US territory without having undergone at least the same amount of scrutiny that US carriers do.
Mexican carriers accepted for the program must pass a safety audit by US inspectors, including a complete review of driver records, insurance policies, drug and alcohol testing programs and vehicle inspection records, all of which are conducted in Mexico, prior to the carrier being allowed into the US.
Still, opponents do point out safety records kept by the Mexican authority may not provide enough consistency over time to provide US inspectors with an adequate view of a Mexican carrier’s safety practices.
All of which appears not to be a concern for Canadian transportation officials, who say Mexican carriers approved to run in the US will most likely be allowed to cross into Canada.
“Canadian and US laws are similar when it comes to safety and motor carriers,” said Transport Canada spokeswoman Fiona MacLeod. “So Mexican trucks operating in Canada would be subject to the same safety audits and on-road safety inspections conducted under Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance out-of-service criteria.”
In other words, Mexican trucks that do pass inspection have the green light to operate in Canada.
Does that mean Canadian carriers might choose to hire Mexican carriers running into Canada to haul loads down to the border of Mexico, if not actually across it?
It’s possible, say industry insiders.
Some Canadian carriers currently do haul loads down to the Mexican border, dropping them on the Texas side, before they’re picked up by the Mexican drayage companies currently employed by Mexican Customs brokers, to haul them through the 20 mile commercial zone to other carriers on the Mexican side, an incredibly lengthy and expensive process which largely benefits Mexican Customs brokers who control the borders thanks to the Mexican government.
But having direct access to Mexican roads might not be all it’s cracked up to be, said one trucking exec.
“Some carriers may not want to run into Mexico. They may not see it as being in their best interest,” said the executive, citing security issues, such as missing trailers and lost loads. “They do things differently down there and it could end up costing a lot of money. It all depends on the carrier.”

A longing for home
Writer Jack Harte tells Jessica Farry about his love for his home town, his inspirations, and his new play 'The Language of the Mute' that comes to the Hawk's Well Theatre
When Jack Harte's family home in Easkey came on the market ten years ago, he snapped it up without a second thought.
Having left Sligo at the age of eight, the playwright, novelist and retired teacher always had a longing to return.
The cottage was built by Jack's father in the 1940s, and when the family left to live in the Midlands, Jack was always dreaming and thinking about his home.
"Everyday (I had a longing for home). From the time I left as a kid, one of things that really haunted my imagination was the longing to come back, I was thinking of it all the time. I used to come back every summer and stay with friends, relations and that. I still have this pull back.
"This is where I go to try to do my writing. I have that now. It's lovely. My father was the local blacksmith so the corner was always called the Forge Corner. I have a lot of people who come to it and they find it extremely peaceful," said Jack.
'The Forge Corner' has drawn interest from people as far away as America and India.
It's the peace, the serenity and the landscape that make Jack yearn for his scenic home from his Dublin abode.
A poet from an early age, a secondary school teacher later, and now a novelist and playwright among other things, there are many strings to this man's bow.
Much of Jack's work takes inspiration from Sligo's landscape, people and even urban legends.
"Sligo is a huge influence on my writing. I left when I was a kid. I never stopped dreaming about it. I'd be dreaming about the landscape, the people and all that. When I started to write, it was mostly about Sligo.
"I was writing stories, I was picking up on little legends and things from the Sligo countryside. Using the landscape as an inspiration. There's a lot of stories that are set in different locations in Sligo."
It all started when he was a secondary school student. Jack attended a school in Lanesborough run by a priest. Every so often, the priest would read poems to students that he wrote himself.
In 'The Angelus' magazine, a young Jack was a regular feature in the 'Poet's Corner page'. He went on to pursue other jobs, and was eventually a teacher himself in Clondalkin in Dublin, and Prinicpal of a school in Lucan for 17 years.
Between the late 1970s and early 1990s, Jack published 24 English textbooks for Irish schools. A love of writing was something that Jack felt deep down, but just where that interest came from, he is unsure.
"I always had a sense of wanting to write. There were no artists in my family. My very close friend who grew up with me, Fred Conlon (sculptor), had this thing that he wanted to do art.
"He just followed it up. I had the same sense that I wanted to be a writer, but there was certainly no influence in the early days.
"My natural state is inertia. I would be very happy to sit and do nothing all day every day forever. I only write when something keeps nagging me to the extent that it's easier to sit down and write it than be listening to this voice.
"I have things thought out very well before I sit down to write. Some idea, I'd have it pretty well written out. I'd take inspiration from Sligo, or folklore, or even taking some part of the countryside and taking a story from it."
Upon his early retirement some years ago, he decided it was time to start a new chapter in his life.
"When I was 55 I was able to say 'I've done my time. I can go.' It was time to start a new phase in my life. I always feel like I'm not doing enough.
"I'm very happy that I took a chance to go off and do something different with my life."
Bringing his work back to Sligo is "more important than anything else". It is his priority. And that's why he is brining his play 'Language of The Mute' to The Hawk's Well Theatre in May.
The story behind the play is derived from a real life experience.
"It's about a real case of child abuse. I worked alongside a guy, who was a teacher. He was a pioneer of the Irish language and everything to do with it. He was a Republican, and a devout catholic.
"When he died a couple of years ago, revelations came out that he had been a serial rapist on an industrial scale. So much so that the tabloids were calling him the Irish Jimmy Saville. Most of these interviews came out on TG4 because it was such a story in the Irish circle.
"People I saw being interviewed were former students of mine from the 70s and 80s. It infuriated me so much, I started thinking about different aspects of it.
"I was on really good terms with these people and they couldn't talk to me. I would have had a fantastic relationship with them. That aspect bugged me.
"Written out of pure spleen and anger at what happened. These people's lives were destroyed and some of them ended up in psychiatric hospitals, and broken relationships.
"I wanted to do something. The first night in the New Theatre, a lot of the victims came along. There was enormous energy and tension and all the rest. They felt like they had been given a voice," he said.
That 'nagging voice' Jack speaks about is one which has coerced him into producing a huge amount of work.
His next project is another play, which will be getting a run of two weeks in a theatre in Clontarf.
The next item on the agenda is another novel.
As with all of his writing projects, the idea is fully formed in his head before he actually sits down to compile it.
'Language of The Mute' comes to The Hawk's Well Theatre on May 11th.
Tickets cost €15 and are available from the Hawk's Well Ticket office on 071-91-61518.
Since his retirement Jack has made sure he's kept busy, with plenty of projects.
And he's not planning on stopping anytime soon.
