Dragon Ball Z. A long running series with a total of 13 movies to speak of. This is the very first DBZ movie that was made. Dont know what DBZ is? Well, its a long story, so if you really wanna know, I suggest going back and doing some research. However, its pretty possible to watch this movie without any problems. Ah, what the heck, Ill give you a quick crash course in what you need to know.
The hero Goku, a non-human guy who has Superman-like powers.
The 7 Dragon Balls 7 special balls when, if all are collected, a large dragon appears to grant a wish.
Kami the protector of earth (even though in my personal opinion, he doesnt do a very good job of it)
Actually, thats pretty much it. On with the story!
As usual, its a nice day where Goku and his family lives. Gohan is looking through a book (hes so little in this movie!) and Goku is off in a river doing some fishing (for really big fish and with his bare hands). But things take a turn for the worst when three nefarious characters show up and kidnap Gohan! Goku instantly knows something is wrong (which was cute to see) and rushes off to find that his wife has been knocked around a little in trying to protect their son. Goku is not happy.
Gohan was kidnapped in order to collect the four-star dragon ball, which happens to be on his hat. Why didnt they just take the hat? Doy, cuz then we wouldnt have movie. The leader of the three that attacked is named Garlic Jr. (dont ask). He wants immortality so that he can rule the world and gain revenge for his father. And then, a remarkable thing happens Garlic Jr. does the one thing no one else has ever been able to do in the rest of the Dragon Ball series; he actually gets immortality! Thats a bad thing.
Goku, along with his best friend Krillin, head out for Garlic Jr.s stronghold to get Gohan back. But it isnt going to be an easy task, and even if they are able to take out Garlics three strong henchmen, how are they going to kill someone who cant die?
This is a fun movie to watch, even though Im still not the biggest fan of the whole Gohan getting a little drugged (he ate a piece of fruit from a tree and got drunk, or something to that effect) and had a little hallucinatory episode. Though some parts were funny, I just thought that the movie could do without it. However, a lot of other people really like it, so to each his own. As for the fight scenes, those were pretty good. I remember way back when I first saw this movie, I got a total kick out of it. And Piccolo makes an appearance, as he does in pretty much all the movies, and you cant go wrong with Piccolo.
On another note, several other reviews have listed as a con that the movie is too short. Frankly I thought it was just right for the plot and content the story contained. I think if they had tried to make it longer it would have dragged, and there isn't much of a way to make it longer, aside from having perhaps longer fight scenes. The plot is simple - rescue Gohan and kill the bad guys. It's pretty much a straight shot and Goku's going to get to Garlic's place as fast as possible, so he's not going to hang around at anyone's place discussing things. Besides, it's annoying enough in the series when they turn 5 minutes into 4 episodes.
I never minded the original dub for DBZ, especially for Piccolo and Krillin. Im one of the few that is able to appreciate the dubs, but as you all know, I enjoy a good sub as well. This one is pretty kid safe definitely kid safe if you get the dubbed and cut version. If you get the original, then watch out. I think especially for the scene when Gohan is getting out of his drunken stupor and, ah, relieves himself on Krillins head. Poor Krillin.
I love DBZ. Hehe.

Glacier Point, an overlook with a commanding view of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, and Yosemite’s high country, is accessible by car from approximately late May through October or November. From mid-December through March, cross-country skiers can experience this view after skiing 10.5 miles.
From the Glacier Point parking and tour unloading area, a short, paved, wheelchair-accessible trail takes you to an exhilarating (some might say unnerving) point 3,214 feet above Half Dome Village (formerly Curry Village), on the floor of Yosemite Valley.
To Get There
From mid-May to September, you may be required to use a free shuttle from Badger Pass to Glacier Point between 10 am to 4:30 pm when the Glacier Point parking lot fills. If you arrive at the Badger Pass turnoff before 10 am or after 4:30 pm, you can drive to Glacier Point (and all trailheads). If you arrive between 10 am and 4:30 pm and the Glacier Point parking lot is full, rangers will have you park at Badger Pass and use the free shuttle to get to Glacier Point or other locations along the Glacier Point Road. Parking is available at Badger Pass for RVs and trailers, but not for full-sized commercial buses.
The free shuttle leaves Badger Pass every 20 minutes and stops at Sentinel Dome/Taft Point trailhead, Washburn Point, and Glacier Point. Upon request or flag-down, the shuttle stops at McGurk Meadow, Ostrander Lake, and Mono Meadow trailheads. The first shuttle leaves Badger Pass at 10 am, the last shuttle leaves Badger Pass at 4:30 pm, and the last shuttle leaves Glacier Point at 5:30 pm. (No shuttle service of any kind is available after 5:30 pm.) It's possible you may need to wait for up to an hour for a shuttle bus that has space. If the shuttle operation is too full, the Glacier Point Road may close completely, with no vehicle access to Glacier Point.
Vehicles displaying accessibility placards, people with a wilderness permit for Glacier Point Road trailheads, and people camping at Bridalveil Creek Campground can drive to their destination at any time.
Points of Interest
Glacier Point, an overlook with a commanding view of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, and the High Sierra is located 30 miles (one hour) from Yosemite Valley. The road ends at Glacier Point and it is a short walk to the viewpoint.
Washburn Point, just south of Glacier Point, has similar views, though the views of Vernal and Nevada Falls are more direct.
When Yosemite Ski & Snowboard Area (formerly Badger Pass Ski Area) is open (mid to late December through March), the Glacier Point Road is groomed beyond the ski area. Cross-country skiers can follow the road for 10.5 miles to Glacier Point. This is possible as a (21-mile) day trip or as an overnight. A ski hut is open in winter (reservation required) or you can camp (with a wilderness permit, available from the Badger Pass Ranger Station without a reservation). Read more about winter camping and winter trails along the Glacier Point Road [530 kb PDF]. Activities such as downhill skiing and snowboarding are also available.

AP Lobs INSANE Softball Cheering Illegal Aliens as Doocy Brings Heat
For the second day in a row, the Associated Press opened the questioning Tuesday of the ever-inept Karine Jean-Pierre by lobbing a puke-tastic softball so she could bash Donald Trump. This time, it was the insane claim that illegal immigration makes America...well, great. And, in contrast to all this, Fox’s Peter Doocy stood alone on the border crisis.
ABC Airs Softest Portions Of Mary Bruce's Kamala Harris Interview
Vice President Kamala Harris sat down with ABC, NBC, and CBS on Friday to recap President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address and discuss the campaign. While all three networks condensed the interviews for their respective nightly news shows, ABC’s World News Tonight edits were the most sympathetic to Harris.
CBS Revels in ‘Fiery’ Biden Coming ‘Out...Swinging’ at GOP in SOTU
Unfortunately, Friday’s CBS Mornings followed the lead of ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today in forgoing actual critiques of President Biden’s 2024 State of the Union address on Thursday. Instead, it heaped praise on the “fiery” and “fired up” Biden going “on the offensive” and proved he “has the energy, the fire in the belly to serve another four years”.
ABC’s Biden Apple Polisher Bruce Polishes More Apples Previewing SOTU
ABC’s Good Morning America set the table on Thursday for President Biden’s fourth (and possibly final) State of the Union address by doing what ABC and chief Biden apple polisher Mary Bruce do best: polish apples for the regime. Between her two liveshots, Bruce offered all the usual talking points about Biden needing to “sell skeptical voters on his accomplishments” and “tout his…
ABC, NBC Whine GOP ‘Upping the Pressure on Biden’ to Secure the Border
On Thursday, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today tried to have their cake and eat it too, as they praised President Biden for finally taking executive action to secure the U.S.’s southern border, while also whining that Republicans forced him to do it. It was a seminar executive action they condemned former President Trump for enacting.
CBS, NBC Praise Biden ‘Talking Tough to Israel’ With Arab King
Possibly with the 2024 election on his mind, President Biden appeared to begin the process of abandoning America’s greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel in order to appease the radical anti-Semitic elements of the Democratic base. Of course, this drew cheers from the pro-Hamas broadcast networks of CBS and NBC on Tuesday, which praised him for “talking tough to Israel” alongside an Arab…
Dean Who? Nets Ignore Biden Primary Challenger Pulling 20% in NH
With the liberal media having achieved their dream 2024 match-up with former President Donald Trump all-but set to face off against President Joe Biden, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC refused to acknowledge the existence of Congressman Dean Phillips (D-MN) as President Biden’s primary challenger and pulled 20 percent in the (unofficial) New Hampshire Democratic primary. It wasn’t…
CBS Offers Press Release to 'Devout Catholic' Biden Pushing Abortion
On Thursday’s CBS Mornings, they turned to reporter Caitlin Huey-Burns in New Hampshire for a story recounting the Republican presidential candidates raucously attacking either other – as globalist RINOS or tantrum-throwers, take your pick. But then they turned to the Other Party, and there were no attacks, as if there were no Biden challengers. Instead, viewers got a campaign press…
‘Disingenuous’; KJP Explodes When Doocy Asks About Hunter’s Stunt
Wednesday’s White House press briefing saw a predictable drop-off in hardballs on the latest Biden administration scandal of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin going MIA for days with what he later revealed were a series of hospital stays for colon cancer. Thankfully, there were a smattering of questions about Hunter Biden’s latest D.C. stunt as he appeared in-person for a House Oversight…
Here Were the Most BITING Briefing Questions on the Lloyd Austin Saga
As we’ve seen throughout the Biden administration when the liberal press choose to bring the heat during White House press briefings, it’s usually only good for a day or two before they fall in line. Worse yet in the case of ABC, CBS, and NBC, we almost never see probing questions and/or tense exchanges surface on their flagship morning and evening newscasts. On cue, that happened on Tuesday…
Karine Jean-Pierre Ignored 98% of Biden Scandal Questions in 2023
In the second half of 2023, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre answered only two questions about the scandals facing the President Joe Biden. That brings the yearly total to a paltry eight such questions that Ms. Jean-Pierre answered across 75 White House briefings.
AGAIN! Nets Hide the (D) on NYC Mayor’s Sex Assault Charges
After the Democratic Mayor of New York City was hit with a $5 million sexual assault suit, ABC and CBS hid Eric Adams’ party identification in their Thursday evening and Friday morning coverage. NBC failed to cover the story at all.
WH Journo: Is the U.S. ‘On the Wrong Side of History’ Backing Israel?
Almost on a daily basis at the White House press briefing, reporters from the taxpayer-funded outlets NPR, PBS, and Voice of America remind us why they deserve to be defunded.

Susana Millman's recent release: Alive with the Dead or A Fly on the Wall with a Camera initially only 1000 copies were printed, but these quickly flew off store shelves. We're happy to report another order was recently printed & now available at http://mamarazi.com. Here what some folks are saying about the book:
"Susana’s book is a warm, intimate document of her membership in several overlapping tribes of smart, soulful, fun-loving people who know the value of truth and fun." -- David Gans
"I just got my books, OMG, they are gorgeous! What a masterpiece, and you know I KNOW what I’m talking about in the music photography department after working with Jim Marshall and the JMP Estate over the course of nearly 20 years." -- Caroline Rustigian K-Line and Co.
"The latest, and one of the best, is by Bay Area photographer Susana Millman who, along with her husband, author and publicist Dennis McNally, was part of the band's inner circle from the mid-1980s. Since that time, Millman has been one of the most successful photojournalists at capturing the human side of the band members, crew, and family that make up the complex and ever-evolving society that was - and in many ways still is - the Grateful Dead. This generous and beautifully appointed book contains plenty of great shots of the Dead onstage, but many of the most enchanting photos come from other situations - backstage, out to dinner on tour, or extracurricular musical events like Mickey Hart's Planet Drum tour or Jerry Garcia's collaborations with his own band and with David Grisman." -- Michael Parris
"Got the book today, it’s fucking gorgeous!…as close to being music as photography can be." -- Greg Anton
"It’s that time of year again: every band worth listening to will release a hardy coffee table book for the Christmas season, only to turn around and make another one next year. The Grateful Dead, however, find a slipcover with soul this holiday season in Susana Millman’s book Alive With The Dead: A Fly On the Wall With A Camera, a five-pound tome that features Millman’s own photos of the psychedelic rock giants. In the composition’s pages, Millman crams 25 years of her photographic work with the band into a 256-page 12” by 9” hardcover." -- Victoria Wasylak

Testimonials from parents about Nunnbetter Dance Theatre…
Excellent training and caring atmosphere: This is clearly the best dance studio in the area. Here’s why. Leath Nunn was an accomplished principal ballet dancer with a memorable career. He knows what is needed to become a fine dancer; but he is a fabulous teacher because he infuses his classes with humor and caring as well as an insistence on proper technique. (The rest of his staff follows his lead.) Students here will probably be expected to work harder than other area schools, but they will take away a love for dancing combined with solid basic techniques. Each school year is highlighted by a full scale Nutcracker plus a Spring Performance. Our kids love it, and they are inspired by “graduates” who keep coming back for visits into their college years and beyond.
There Really Is NUNNBETTER!: My daughter has danced in New York for over eight years and accomplished and fine-tuned more technique during her four weeks at NUNNBETTER Summer Dance Intensive in Bergenfield, New Jersey. It was a wonderful experience for her self-esteem and self-confidence – not to mention furthering her respect and love of dance. Leath Nunn shares his love of dance and years of experience in a unique and challenging program allowing young dancers the opportunity to reach beyond what they thought were their limits. He nurtures the creativity of each individual student while developing the skills needed to support a company. Students are taught not only the disciplines needed to perform their art, but also experience the life of the professional dancer through offsite performances, last minute choreography changes, and managing artistic differences to benefit the company. My daughter continued to dance long after this wonderful and enriching experience to any music, in any room – such was the outcome of the four week intensive. I asked if she wanted to spend next summer in Europe with her aunt or another summer at NUNNBETTER and her response was simply, “Europe can wait.”
Cannot find a better dance school in Bergen County. Both my kids are there — one for 10 years and it has done wonders. . . Best staff in the world, they focus on what’s important, the basics and then watch the kids grow. Thank you Nunnbetter!
Testimonials about The Nutcracker….
The Nutcracker I saw was great! excuse me! It’s not just about missing a landing or a pirouette it’s the joy the kids who are dancing their hearts out are bringing to the audience…. and that your company has in spades and that, my friend, is YOUR heart they are giving to the public… that is way beyond the technique… A show isn’t a success because of the success of the technical aspects but, at least in my view, it’s because of that joy and you have given your company that blessing far beyond the technique…. (and oh by the way…. the technique is amazing-it was hard to believe that the girls were from your company and not guests!… they were at least as good as the male guests!)
Please tell them I said so. Thanks for a lovely evening of NUTCRACKER! I wish you and yours the Happiest and Brightest of Holiday Seasons. Much love Denny
Production Dance Supervisor
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
“Bravo!!! You must be soo proud of your dancers…they were terrific. My kids told me Clara was Sara who came to our school and she’s 14 and they love her! You went all out for your 10th anniversary. Our students were coveting their souvenirs from the cannon fire. They are funny. Really, the parents, teachers and our VP thought it was wonderful. He (VP) was very impressed with the knowledge of the children and how they immediately recognized the dancers who came to WW. Please know that you have made a difference in their lives forever. My boys were leaping across the classroom when we got back, and my first instinct was to pull them back, but I thought why not. Congratulations and thank you!”
“I can’t go to bed without saying thank you for that beautiful performance this afternoon. It was the best you’ve ever done. The new choreography and extra bits of business really refresh the piece. You’re a miracle worker and Nutz has just gotten better and better each year, but this was the topper. You have such a wonderful gift for working with kids and it shows every year. I was pleased that the audience, which has usually provided an overlay of murmuring during past performances, were so still and quiet. To keep kids that age so attentive for two hours is a testament to your ability to bedazzle and hook them. You’re a genius.And where did you get that beautiful young Clara? I think she’s got real possibilities for a career. She just looks the part of a ballerina and is such a fine dancer already at such a tender age. Think what she’ll be by the time she’s 18.Thanks again and congratulations for another triumph.”
“This is most impressive in such a competitive and famously difficult field.
I believe that I can safely say that I have been around great ballet all my life. As a young child, and the son of fine classical musicians, I was very fortunate to be taken to many ballet performances at a very early age. My father’s first job when he graduated as a pianist from the conservatory was to play piano for a ballet Company in South America. Later my father joined the Philharmonic Orchestra that performed in a beautiful theatre where I watched magnificent classical ballets like Coppélia, the Firebird, Swan Lake, and the Nutcracker. Years later, as a student at the Juilliard School, I was exposed to a different kind of ballet but just as exciting and beautiful. Then (even later) touring the world as a concert violinist, I have been able to see great ballet companies in many continents from New York, to Beijing, to Caracas, to Tokyo. I have watched mesmerizing performances by great ballet companies like the Bolshoi Ballet, the New York City Ballet, the Miami Ballet, and the Paris Opera Ballet just to name a few. I have also seen many ballet students in schools.
Last week I had the privilege of watching the Nutcracker performed by students at your school. I was deeply moved by young children of many ages giving their one-hundred-percent on stage. I first watched the performance by seating in the audience and I was very impressed by the quality of the production. The beautiful costumes rival those of many professional companies that I have seen, and the dancing that I witnessed from some of the advanced dancers was very impressive. Then I saw the ballet performance from backstage. What a privilege indeed. I saw young ballerinas leaping most impressive jumps coming off the stage and landing inches from where I was standing. Only to be hugged by their friends and colleagues in the company who were watching and encouraging one another backstage. The dancers complimented and gave words of encouragement and support to each another. This is most impressive in such a competitive and famously difficult field. Indeed at your school you have been able to achieve great ballet standards and at the same time nurture an environment of friendship and support among the dancers. These young performers do not seem to be competing with one another but instead striving to their very own high standards. It is very inspiring to see young people spending their time and energy on a quest for artistic perfection and beauty.
I was very moved by what I witnessed at your school’s performances of the Nutcracker and I will always remember them. I am very grateful that my daughter is now enrolled as a student at your school. What a privilege to be in this wonderful environment.”

Testimonials about NDT Company….
Dear Nunnbetter Family,
What an amazing concert yesterday! I was so impressed with how much the girls have improved even MORE than they were a few months ago. Leath- you really know how to create an atmosphere where the students keep striving for the best. It is not an easy thing to do and I feel so fortunate that our kids have had this experience with you!Congrats to all the Nunnbetter moms! Your children were an inspiration!
Bravo on your Dance Company… From a new admirer. One of the very few regrets that I have from childhood is my lack of poise and balance in toe shoes. Much to my dismay, I was a supreme flop as a ballerina.
Now age 53, I’ve learned that the enjoyment that comes from watching a ballet is far more satisfying than my failed attempts at participation.
Last Sunday, Michelle Caridi Copland asked me to attend Gianna’s performance in Bergenfield. While I adore Gianna and I would support her avocational endeavors, I wasn’t really looking forward to spending a glorious afternoon in The Bergenfield High School auditorium. But, I made a promise so I abided by it.
I was truly overwhelmed with the professionalism, the caliber, the poise, and the complexity of your pieces, Mr. Nunn. I told Michelle that Nunnbetter deserves attention and accolades for both the sheer talent of these young dancers and for your extraordinary choreography. Bravo to you for what you have done to inspire these girls. I was both surprised and duly impressed.
I know that “attention” and “accolades” equates to funding. And, as today is Michelle Copland’s birthday and as she is one of my most favorite people, I am enclosing a check in the amount of $360 in honor of her special day (and in honor of Gianna, too !!).
All my best as you continue to sustain the level of excellence you have so obviously achieved, Mr. Nunn.

Service Check for DECT base stations - RFPI-Sniffer Pro
The RFPI Sniffer is a mobile service tool for detection and measuring of DECT base stations. It is based on an industrial PDA with integrated DECT module. A measurement can be performed without intervention (registration) in the system /base station.
On imported building plans measurement sites and base stations can be located.
- Imports building and facility layouts
- Simple marking of measuring locations and base station(s) location(s)
- Simple and intuitive operation
- Measures the reception field strength and the connection quality at any location
- Displays list with minimum, maximum, and mean values of the reception field strength
- Stores the measurement values with the assigned measuring location
RFPI Sniffer Pro provides you with network quality data: RFPI Sniffer Pro accurately identifies suitable and unsuitable DECT (radio) network locations for voice applications (conventional telephony) and data applications.
Measurement can be taken either prior to installing the base stations or at locations with established base station networks. In the former case, the optimal positions can be identified in advance. In the later case, measurement is taken of an existing DECT network with established base stations. Optimal DECT coverage can be attained by placing the base stations according to the new measurements.

Biomimetic Bone Graft with Higher Bioactivity
The use of 3D osteoconductive scaffolds provides an informative substrate serving as a physical support matrix for in vivo tissue regeneration. In the last few years the use of bioengineered 3D scaffolds has been becoming the most promising experimental approach for the regeneration of living tissues. Stem cells are typically used, in combination with 3D substrates, to promote in vivo bone regeneration and repair. For tissue engineering applications, biomaterials should therefore be able to support the functional properties of osteo-progenitor cells, giving them the optimal microenvironment to perform their physiological activity. Inorganic biomaterials are particularly relevant for bone regeneration; calcium phosphate ceramics have in fact been shown to strongly interact with bone tissue. The aim of the present work was to evaluate two different scaffolds with a defined design and different composition developed to guide/promote tissue repair.

I’ve been feeling lost lately, I don’t know why I’m even here or what’s the point because everyday is a struggle. Everyday I feel myself being pushed closer and closer to the edge. Everyone keeps telling me to be positive look on the brightside people care about you and you’ll find the ONE.
SHUT THE FUCK UP! I’ve heard it my whole life and I’m tired of it, I’m not saying I don’t believe that maybe one day I will find the ONE and I’ll really be happy the demons will slowly fade away. For the most part I am a positive person I try to look at the silver lining but it’s hard because everyday something happens and it just kills my positive mood.
If I didn’t have bad luck I wouldn’t have any luck at all
I just don’t know what the point is anymore

OK! I've had requests for more photos of Ruby. As everyone knows I obsessively take pictures of her! She is the BEST little guinea pig! She's usually super happy to let me follow her around all day with my camera (sometimes I'm not so lucky). These two photos were taken on the same day. I shot her brushing her teeth for my dad (he's a dentist) and I just HAD to commemorate her using the potty! I particularly LOVE the "POTTY PORTRAIT"! I think I may have it framed and hang it in the bathroom. . .I wonder how long it will take her to ask me to take it down?
What a change of pace, photographing an adult! I've found myself focusing on shooting children for the past few months (maybe its the Mommy in me?) so it was nice to have a client that I could level with and get a few more subtleties out of. This was Bob's first set of headshots, but he was a real trooper with everything I threw at him. Getting to talk with him before and throughout the shoot, I'm sure we succeeded in capturing his essence for the shots! This is my choice shot of him. He seems kind with a bit of an edge! Congrats, Bob, on your first headshots, I know they will be an excellent start in the industry!
This is another photo from my shoot with Jack. He had so many to choose from! My favorite are when he let down his guard and STOPPED posing. Really, I think the proofs surrounding this shot are of him playing with the grass. I just had to keep snapping hoping I would luck out and get such a true photo. To me it holds feelings of relaxed bliss. I wish I could feel the way this photo looks every day! :)
I don't know what it is with these wonderful children. Jack is another one that is a complete ham in front of the camera! You would have thought he had been an Abercrombie model or something with the "I know I'm cool" poses he gave me! It was an absolute joy to shoot Jack! He is such a sweet little blend of his parents! Those gorgeous piercing eyes from his mom and quite a little man's personality thanks to dad! I hope to be able to work with Jack again . . . maybe even for some family shots. . . hint, hint!


Mega water projects get off the ground
Unnichchai Water intake
Water Tower, Batticaloa
Water Supply schemes estimated to cost billion of rupees to provide
potable water to the people are being implemented islandwide, said
National Water Supply and Drainage Board Chairman (NWSDB) Eng.
Water is an essential commodity for human life and providing
drinkable water to the people is a priority of any Government, he said.
The Sunday Observer interviewed the NWSDB Chairman on his ongoing
Excerpts of the interview:
Q: It was reported that scientific studies have identified
contaminated water to be the probable cause for the fast spreading
kidney decease in the North Central Province (NCP) and Uva Province.
Does the NWSDB have the wherewith all to ensure purified drinking
water to said provinces?
A: Major water supply projects and other small scale and
village based water supply projects have been designed to meet this
Q: What are the major water supply projects in the NCP?
Unnichchai Water Tower, Batticaloa
NWSDB Chairman Karunasena
A: There are 12 water supply projects such as Anuradhapura
South, Anuradhapura North, Mahavilachchiya, Padaviya, Galenbindunuweva,
Tambuttegama, Parasangahaweva, Viharapalugama, Eppawela, Welikanda and
Habarana. The Anuradhapura project estimated at Rs. 12,725 million will
benefit 139,500 people, while the Anuradhapura North project costing Rs.
10,462 million will benefit 271,525 people.
Other water supply projects estimated at over Rs. 17,517 million will
provide drinking water for 557,163 beneficiaries.
Water from the sources such as Mahakandarava, Wahalkada,
Mahavilachchiya, Padaviya, Hurulu, Tabuttegama, Taruwila, Dalukana,
Tisaweva and Hiriwadunne tanks will be supplied to the people through a
Q: What are the organisations which have funded the water
A: Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has already
agreed to finance the Anuradhapura North water supply project. A JICA
team of specialists is in the island at present. China, Australia and
India had already expressed their willingness to finance the
Anuradhapura South water supply project.
Q: What were the water supply projects launched to mark Dayata
Kirula held in Anuradhapura last year?
A: The water supply scheme at Oyamaduwa Deyata Kirula
exhibition ground costing Rs. 600 million provides drinking water to
60,000 families. Another water supply scheme was implemented in the
Anuradhapura district at a cost of Rs. 2,000 million.
Q: What are the rural water supply projects launched by the
A: Community water tanks in remote villages supply water to
the needy. Secondary towns and community village water supply project is
another water supply project funded by the Asian Development Bank to
ensure potable water to the country. Eighty three small scale pipe-borne
water supply projects, 1,718 water tanks, 1,456 wells were provided to
the villages in the Anuradhapura district under this project.
Q: What are the water supply schemes launched in the Eastern
A: The Muttur Water Tower project benefits 52,000 people in
the Muttur district. In addition to the Trincomalee integrated water
project funded by the French-Sri Lanka Fund there are medium and small
water supply projects implemented at Kantale, Agbopura, Tampalakamam
Serunuwera, Wadinagala and Dehiattakandiya at a total cost of Rs. 1,886
The Batticaloa project estimated at Rs. 12,398 million will benefit
246,000 people. A water refinery plant with the capacity of of 40,000
litres per day, a water pumping line and seven water tanks, two
underground water tanks and water distributing network covering an area
of 277 kilometres constructed under the Batticaloa water supply project.
The project will be completed before the end of this year.
Q: Can you explain the water purification system?
A: Water purification is the process of removing undesirable
chemicals, materials and biological contaminants from raw water to
produce water fit for a specific purpose. Most water is purified for
human consumption but water purification may also be designed for a
variety of other purposes, including meeting the requirements of medical
pharmacology, chemical and industrial applications. In general the
methods used include physical process such as aeration, filtration and
sedimentation, biological processes such as slow sand filters or
activated sludge, chemical process such as flocculation and chlorination
and the use of electromagnetic radiation such as ultraviolet light .
Q: Can rain water be used for drinking and domestic purposes?
A: Rain Water Harvesting Systems (RWHS) for households have
been promoted as an alternative.
Over 20,000 rain water harvesting tanks were built specially in the
dry zone during the past five years.
The Government Organisations, the Non-government Organisations,
community-based organisations and the individuals have been persuaded to
set up RWHS systems to overcome the anticipated decline of rainfall in
the dry zone.
Q: Environmentalists have warned of global scarecity of water
in future. What is your views on it?
A: Fresh water is no longer freely available in the planet due
to population growth, economic development, rapid urbanisation, large
scale industrialisation, deforestation and global warming.
In Sri Lanka water sources are on the wane due to man-made disasters.
Sri Lankans are advised to consume only pipe-borne purified water to
avoid the risk of water borne diseases .

Janine at The Sewing Revival, the pattern company based in New Zealand, is gradually creating a growing collection of stylish patterns and there is something very appealing in their deceptive simplicity I think. I’ve made a few versions of several of them now, including the Sidewinder pants, the Bellbird top and the Heron dress.
When Janine kindly offered me my choice of the range to choose from I picked one of the more recent releases, the Fantail top. At first glance it appears to be a simple raglan-sleeved top but along with the high/low hemline and elasticated front hem it offers variations of scooped, ribbing or V neck, elasticated or ribbing cuffs, and the back hem can be finished with ribbing too.
I had a rummage in my stash for some suitable fabric, ideally something with a bit of drape works best so soft viscose, crepe, georgette or chiffon if you fancy a challenge, cotton lawn, wool challis or fine linen would all work very well. Light- or medium- weight jersey will make it into a very chic sweater. I’ve no idea where my piece of navy fabric came from, probably I was given it by an elderly lady because it had a little ticket pinned to one corner saying it was 1 1/2 yards x 54” wide and cost 90p! It certainly smelt a little bit musty so the first thing I did was give it a quick hand-wash, it turns out that the colour ran quite a bit and I was left with blue hands for several hours afterwards!!
The patterns are sold in size bands which each contain 4 sizes (there is some overlap between the brackets) and each band is layered which gives you the option to print only the sizes you want so I printed UK 10 and 12 because, having lost some weight recently, I wasn’t sure which size would be best. In the end I cut a UK12 and it looks fine I think, it’s a roomy style so I could possibly go down a size but as I’m one of life’s ‘fluctuaters’ where weight is concerned maybe I won’t.
I like the instructions on Sewing Revival patterns because they are well explained and illustrated with photographs. If you’re an experienced sewer like me then you won’t necessarily need to follow them closely all the time but I do keep half an eye on them so that I don’t miss a step or construct in the wrong order which might have repercussions later on.
I made the scoop-neck version with elasticated cuffs which is probably the most straightforward variant, the round neck is just the right amount in my view, not too wide, not too deep. Raglan sleeves are super-quick to construct, I usually sew the neck facing on after the shoulder seams and before sewing the under arm seams.
The front and back hems are very different lengths and finished differently so don’t rush through these elements. I ignored the suggested bias-binding finish on the back hem and used one of my favourite techniques of a pin-hem instead ( I wrote instructions for this last year in this blog post on hems )
The USP of this top is the deep partially-elasticated front hem. It looks great but it’s really not difficult to achieve. There are suggested lengths to cut your elastic for each size although you could use a shorter piece over the same length if you want to pull the front in a bit more. Or you could also use a narrower elastic but the pattern is cut for wide width like this so you may have to make an alteration to the hem depth accordingly for the channel to work.
As I said, this is a simple top with eye-catching details, it’s probably a half-day project if you’re got everything you need when you start.
I’ve already got some fabric lined up for another Fantail hopefully very soon, a nice piece of soft viscose from Sew Me Something and ribbing given to me by my friend Kate which by sheer good fortune coordinates perfectly! There’s lots of possible variety with the Fantail, short sleeves is another for example.
Two years ago I wrote a review of the Sewing Revival Heron dress which you can still read here. I liked the pattern so much that since then I’ve made another knee-length version in a viscose/linen mix fabric from Ditto in Brighton and a blouse variation too in a beautiful soft Italian cotton voile, also from Ditto. I wore it often although not so much lately…
While I was at Sew Brum in October 2019 I bought some lovely soft brushed printed viscose twill from Barry’s Fabrics with the express intention of making another Heron but this time making it longer and more cold weather-friendly. There had been a lot of Wilder Gowns by the Friday Pattern Company popping up everywhere at the time, I liked the tiered style a lot but I knew I could create my own take on it by using a pattern I already had. A multiple-layered skirt like this isn’t difficult, it’s really a case of working out the number and sizes of rectangles you want to use. If you take a look at this post I wrote about recreating a sun dress for a client in 2019 you’ll get the gist. Because I like the top section of the Heron so much I decided this was a good pattern to use and it wouldn’t be difficult to adapt it to what I wanted.
All the quantities and proportions I have used for this dress were completely arbitrary and had to be based primarily on the quantity of fabric I’d purchased [which I can’t actually remember as it’s well over a year ago, probably 3m of 150cm wide fabric I’d guess] and my own height of 5’5” so bear this in mind if you decide to have a go yourself. I wanted the dress to be nice and long so eventually I settled on approximately hip length for the bodice, the finished length of the side seam is now 40cms. I folded the front and back dress pattern sections up out of the way when I pinned them to the fabric (obviously you could trace or print off a new copy of the PDF if you wish) Once both bodices, sleeve and pocket pieces are on the fabric [pockets could be cut from something else if you’re a bit short of fabric] I could see exactly how much I had left to create the skirt from. I kept it very simple and divided the remaining fabric into two equal rectangles across the full width, each one measured approximately 56cms long but that had to include the seam allowance at the top and a hem at the bottom.
Initially the construction of the dress followed the normal method up as far as putting the pockets into the side seams of the bodice as per the pattern.
Making the skirt was very straightforward, I joined the short selvedges to one another [if it’s a one-way design make sure the print is running the same way on both pieces] to form a large cylinder of fabric with two side seams. Press the side seams open, if you’ve been able to use the original selvedges they might not need finishing. I made the hem at this point too, it seemed easier than wrestling with a complete dress at the end, although this could have backfired on me if I hadn’t been happy with the length but I was pretty certain it would be OK.
I ran two rows of gathering stitches within the seam allowance of the top edge, I pinned them in position matching the side seams, centre front and centre back, plus the quarter seam positions too. Gather up carefully so as not to break the threads, small pleats would also work here especially if the fabric would be bulky otherwise, it depends a bit on the weight of the fabric to some extent. Once I was happy with the gathering distribution I sewed the skirt on and overlocked the seam.
And that was it. Now, I have to say that because I was taking a risk with proportions and limited by the quantity of fabric I’d bought that if I were to repeat this I would definitely make the bodice quite a lot shorter and make the skirt from more than one gathered tier instead. I’m happy with the overall finished length but I think the seam at the hip isn’t quite right. But, by wearing it with a narrow leather belt (there wasn’t any fabric left for a self-belt anyway) and bringing it in at the waist I’ve saved it, the belt gives it a lot more definition.
I added a tie at the neck this time using a bit of grosgrain ribbon which I had knocking about.
The dress was finished around a year ago and these photos were shot in the autumn but it’s taken until now to write up. I just wanted to demonstrate how easy it can be to make your own version of popular patterns using one you already have-there’s a certain risk involved because it might not be completely successful but that’s always the risk anyway when making our own clothes-a style might turn out not to suit us after all, or we make a wrong fabric choice, or it could be a triumph so why not revisit what you already own before buying another pattern?
Well this is definitely late in arriving seeing as the challenge finished on March 15th…! After my flurry of activity for the launch of the first SewOver50 challenge in February, and a follow-up post with updated pattern companies, you might have wondered (probably not though…) where I disappeared to? The answer is simply that I had a holiday booked so off I went! Rude I know but Judith and Sandy were fully in command of the day to day running of the challenge so away I went. I missed seeing large chunks at the end of the challenge though as we were on a cruise where internet access is extortionately expensive and much as I love my sewing buddies I don’t love them THAT much, or another option is you can buy beer in bars when in port in order to receive ‘free’ WiFi (follow a crew member, they always know where a hotspot is)
So that’s my excuses out of the way, how did you get on? Did you enter? I was exempt from entering (obviously) but I did contribute a few makes of my own using patterns that qualified.
I think what the challenge brought home to many people is the lack of visibility of anyone aged over 40 frankly, never mind over 50. There were many comments over the six weeks, from much younger sewers as well as more mature people, saying how they simply hadn’t noticed but once you had noticed it became obvious. We have grown largely immune to it and just accept that the image in no way reflects a large majority of makers, even younger dressmakers must be sick of competing with these idealised versions of themselves too. [ yes we know that this doesn’t bother everybody and that’s fine but that doesn’t mean the rest of us are willing to accept the status quo]
Did you discover a new pattern brand as a result of the challenge? I’m sure there are many other brands who didn’t make themselves known to us either by email or commenting on the previous blog posts and I’m definitely not going to vouch for the quality or otherwise of some of those that did but personally I found lots of new ones which I’ll look out for more often in future. Many of them are PDF which means wherever you are in the world they are still accessible to anyone.
Via her posts Judith encouraged people to contact pattern companies who don’t currently use older models and she herself has received some enlightening answers. Of those companies which have so far responded to Judith, almost without exception they say that, unless they have a friend or family member who is willing to model for them, it’s very very difficult to find suitable older professional models registered with agencies, even if they would like to use them. There were a number of different reasons cited for not using older models and, as we’ve said before, a brand is absolutely entitled to create their own ‘look’ as they see fit. Many also said they already featured, or promised in future to feature, a wider cross-section of makers of all kinds in examples of their patterns, this seems the absolute least that a brand can do in exchange for constant free advertising when we ’share the hashtag’ or tag them in our posts. One brand claimed to feature a wide range of their customers makes but having looked through their feed I beg to differ, a modest range all under about 35 is how I saw it.
A lot of brands are very small operations so we appreciate the difficulties this brings but they were also very often the ones that were most keen to bring about changes. I guess being small means they can alter things about their product if it’s within their power to do so and they genuinely want to.
One brilliant example is Selkie Patterns who are a start-up company based in London creating their own print-to-order designs on lovely quality ethically-sourced fabrics. In January on Instagram they put up a post asking for anyone who would be willing to model their next pattern, I somewhat cheekily responded by saying “would you consider an over 50?” Imagine my shock and surprise when Alexandra contacted me and said “yes!” Gulp!
A month later I found myself posing in the sunshine in a backstreet near Waterloo in London, modelling the new fabric design and a sleeve ‘add-on’ for their London dress, top and skirt pattern. I had a blast and Alex made me feel so comfortable and at ease, and it was all loads of fun…we had cake too! I bet no one eats cake on Vogue shoots… It feels slightly surreal to keep seeing myself pop up unexpectedly in their advertising and on the website now…perhaps Kate Moss feels the same.. I was happy to do it because it was a chance to start the ball rolling [perhaps I should sign up with an agency ROFL]
So if one little company just starting out can do it I’m sure others could too, with a modest camera, an attractive backdrop and a willing volunteer it’s possible to get really nice results. Some might expect to pay or be paid which is absolutely fair enough, especially with larger companies who should have a budget for this, but not everybody can do this at the outset. You only have to look through the Sew Over 50 Instagram account to see just how many fabulous, attractive, amazing, funny, inquisitive people there are out there sewing original and inspirational clothes for themselves-dressing in the way WE want to suit our personalities and tastes. Yes, we might ‘just’ want great fitting jeans and a comfy cardie sometimes but that doesn’t mean we can’t make them for ourselves with fantastic details and using beautiful fabrics.
When the challenge closed Judith had been keeping a list of all the qualifying entrants and, with the help of her two gorgeous grandsons, they quite literally pulled the names of the winners out of her hat!
All the winners should have now been notified and have hopefully claimed their prizes, it will be lovely if they share what they make with the rest of us eventually, it could become a sewing virtuous circle!
So, what have we learned from this? Well there’s still a long way to go for sure but there seems to be a shift in perception in many areas of life that as we get older we shouldn’t be relegated to the backwaters of life, nor should we go there quietly and wait for a life belt to be thrown to us, if we want attitudes to change we have to change them ourselves by making our presence felt. It doesn’t have to be in a loud and crashing way because sometimes the softly-softly approach will work better initially, and if it doesn’t then we’ll just get louder. There is an element of ‘don’t ask, don’t get’ because by approaching pattern companies and magazines directly with polite enquiries and requests we’ve found them starting to sit up and take notice. Again it goes back to us being people who have disposable income to spend on quality products, which businesses with any sense will embrace as a lucrative market (so long as they don’t talk down to us or patronise, we aren’t all in care homes just yet!)
Since its creation just seven short months ago the account now has over 10,000 followers and continues to grow all the time. The Great British Sewing Bee returned for a fifth series and featured several wonderful sewers in their 40s, 50s and 60s, it’s a source of real inspiration and encouragement (isn’t it interesting that one of the judges is a feisty and stylish woman in her 60s? That wealth of knowledge and experience takes time to acquire) There’s another series on the cards and applications are open now so why not give it a try, here’s the link to get you started..
And let’s not forget that 10 of us did a photoshoot for Love Sewing which appeared in February with a fantastic 3 page spread in the magazine and a longer version in their online blog. Editor Amy is always on the look out for readers to review the free gift patterns in each issue so if you think you can write a decent review and would like to participate in a photo shoot yourself then drop her an email.
Personally I’m as inspired by younger makers as I am by people my own age and older, having the cross-section matters to me. I love to go to meet-ups and socialising with other makers because even though it can feel like speed dating for dressmakers I know we all have at least that one interest in common at the outset.
I’ll keep sharing SewOver50 updates here from time to time, I’m always in contact with Judith and some of our other partners in crime. We’ve got plans for the year and we’re are always open to suggestions for collaborations or sponsorships of our initiatives so if you think you’ve something to bring to the table feel free to get in touch with one of us. If there’s a brand you love who you think could do more then why not email them, offer yourself as a tester or a model for them, at worst they’ll ignore you and, if they don’t, who knows where it might lead? You could also leave a pattern review on The Fold Line website, or your preferred pattern review website, try and include nice clear photos where possible, they don’t have to be super-styled but it helps everyone more if you can see the garment clearly (rather than a big ol’ mess in the background) with a couple of views.
Right! I’d better get back to some sewing now, it feels like forever since I did any!
By being a part of the organisation of the first Sew Over 50 challenge it has meant I’ve come across pattern companies which I hadn’t heard of before. In several cases they made contact with me directly through the comments at the end of the first blog post. Not all of these companies make patterns that appeal to me personally but The Sewing Revival in New Zealand was one which did. Janine Pomeroy has created a small but growing number of simple, chic and wearable styles and because they are PDFs they are easily available to you wherever you are in the world.
Janine very generously gifted me the Heron dress (it also comes as a top too) and I’ve just finished making it up in time for my upcoming holiday.
The PDF was initially just available as A4 or US letter format but is one one of their first to also come as A0 copy shop format too. It comes with LOTS of useful and helpful information for when you print it out-there’s even instructions in how to print only the size you need if you prefer, I can’t think of another company I’ve come across which actually talks you through it, I have limited IT skills and wouldn’t have known how to do this for myself so that was helpful. Also, when ordering your pattern, you opt for the set of 3 sizes closest to the size you require according to your measurements. I like this arrangement because you don’t have an overwhelming number of lines to try and cut out from. I’m a UK 12-14 in RTW so I’ve made the size Medium and I’m very happy with it. If you do print all the sizes because you want to cut between different measurements for example then each size prints in a different colour-this is worth bearing in mind because if you print in B&W only they aren’t various styles of dot and dashed lines.
I bought some lovely pale blue viscose/linen printed with navy and red flowers from my recent visit to Ditto fabrics in Brighton specifically for the Heron. If you’re a novice sewer there is plenty of guidance included on which fabrics would work well, as well as other lay plan and cutting tips too.
There are only a few pattern pieces so it doesn’t take long to cut out and start sewing. There are some clever details which mean you don’t have lots of extra facings or elastic casings to cut and sew on, they are included which means the sewing doesn’t take that long either.
I printed out the making instructions in booklet format and I found the photos a tad small that way, I should have left them A4 for clarity although, that said, it’s fairly obvious what you’re doing and there are plenty of written instructions too.
I like the clever way the front facing is ‘grown-on’ so you just neaten the centre front seam and, eventually, once the backs and sleeves are sewn together [raglan sleeve so not tricky setting in] the neck edge gets folded over twice and stitched. This becomes the casing for the elastic.
The deep cuffs fold up in a similar way which is clever because it does away with the need to neaten the cuff hem or to sew on any binding to create a casing for the elastic. It all forms one finished unit in the end.
I should add that the Heron includes in-seam pockets which are a must, and there is a belt pattern too with additional ideas on how to add D-rings to it so it isn’t just a tie belt. I was so eager to finish that I didn’t notice until after I’d sewn it that the hem is finished using bias tape! This gives a lovely neat finish without losing any length, I just did a narrow rolled hem which looks fine too.
As I said earlier, I was given the pattern to try out but I can honestly say I’m really pleased with my Heron and I look forward to wearing it. I’ve already got another fabric lined up for a blouse length version. I thought the sleeves looked like they might be too short but actually they are fine.
The reason The Sewing Revival came to my attention is because they use realistic models to promote their patterns, Janine made a conscious decision to do that whilst still creating covetable and wearable styles of the sort that dressmakers of any age will want. I’d love to know if you’ve used this brand and what you thought, or do you know of any others like it that could be brought to a wider audience? The Sew Over 50 challenge runs until March 15th 2019 so you’ve still got time to join in, and you don’t need to be over 50 to participate!

Dave Chappelle is ‘willing’ to meet with trans Netflix staff – but they have a different story
Dave Chappelle has said he’s “willing to have a conversation” with trans Netflix staff about his controversial comedy special – but activists have a different story.
The comedian has been embroiled in controversy ever since his new stand-up show The Closer debuted on Netflix. In the show, Chappelle jokes about trans women’s genitals, defends DaBaby and JK Rowling and declares himself on “Team TERF”.
The backlash reached a fever pitch on Wednesday (20 October) when trans staff and allies staged a walkout from Netflix’s Los Angeles headquarters.
In a statement provided to TMZ, Dave Chappelle’s publicist said the comedian is open to having a sit-down discussion with trans Netflix staff, some of whom have pointed out that on-screen transphobia gives rise to real-world violence and discrimination.
“Dave stands by his art: No more jokes about transgenders until we can all laugh together,” his representative said.
“The streets are talking and Dave is listening. At some point, when everyone is open, I’m sure the communities will come together.”
However, the people behind Wednesday’s Netflix walkout have a different story. Ashlee Marie Preston, who was one of the organisers of the Los Angeles demonstration, told TMZ that they had reached out to Chappelle and asked him to have a discussion with aggrieved trans employees.
“Dave chose not to show up,” she said.
Chappelle’s representative denied that they had received any invitation to discuss the controversy.
Dave Chappelle is ‘not the cause of the problem’ at Netflix
The comedian’s representative weighed into the discussion after a tense few weeks for Netflix and its trans staff. There was widespread fury among trans employees when The Closer landed on the streaming giant – but the response from CEO Ted Sarandos caused tensions to boil over.
Sarandos told staff in a memo that on-screen content doesn’t translate to real world harm. Many were quick to point out that Netflix documentary Disclosure specifically looks at the ways in which on-screen content gives rise to real-world harm for trans communities.
He has since admitted that he “screwed up”, but the streaming giant has continued to stand by Chappelle and his controversial comedy special.
There was also widespread anger when it emerged that Terra Field, a trans senior software engineer at the company, was temporarily suspended by the company after she tried to attend a “director-level meeting”. She was later reinstated.
In an article published on Medium and titled “It was never about Dave”, Field wrote about her efforts to change the “internal conversation” around trans identities in Netflix.
Field went on to say that she was not trying to “cancel Chappelle”, adding that her criticism wasn’t even really directed at the comedian.
“Dave is not, and has never been, the cause of this problem – he is a symptom of it. That Dave believes the things he says and can say them with relative impunity is a result of the culture we live in: a culture that marginalises and devalues trans people.”
“He contributes to that culture in a very real way, but at least he isn’t out there bragging about how many LGBTQ+ ally ship awards he has won while he is doing it.”

Q: Who are the superdelegates and can they change their votes once they are "committed"?
A: Democratic "superdelegates" may vote as they see fit.
Actually, the Democratic Party’s 2008 Delegate Selection Rules don’t mention "superdelegates." It’s a term used by the news media to refer to the hundreds of elected officials and "party leaders" who are automatically seated as delegates to the Democratic convention. Rule 9A specifies that "unpledged party leader and elected official delegates" shall include:
- Democratic House and Senate members
- Democratic governors
- Former Democratic presidents and vice presidents
- Former Democratic leaders of the U.S. Senate
- Former Democratic speakers of the House and Democratic minority leaders
- Former chairs of the Democratic National Committee
Also included would be the president and vice president, when they happen to be Democrats. Specifically not included are any who have endorsed or publicly supported a presidential candidate of another party.
Many of these delegates have publicly endorsed one candidate or another. An unofficial, though well-documented list of the superdelegates who have publicly committed to a candidate may be found at Democratic Convention Watch. Whatever public or private promises they have made, however, these delegates are "unpledged" under party rules and thus free to vote as they judge best.

Moín cargo terminal
Costa Rican authorities seized two tons of cocaine in an operation supported by forces from Colombia and the United States
Anti-drug authorities in Costa Rica seized a shipment of 780 kilograms of cocaine that arrived from Colombia.
The drugs had been concealed in a load of banana pulp.
JAPDEVA will study the construction of a Marina and Cruise Terminal, an Intermodal Cargo Transfer Zone, an industrial park, and a loading dock for hydrobiological products.
The new terminal will turn Costa Rica into the Central American leader in port connectivity.
Public Works and Transport Minister Germán Valverde said that the delay will not affect the country's commercial sector, as the Atlantic Port Authority will continue offering import and export cargo mobilization services at its terminal.
Traffic Police officials will completely close off a stretch of Route 32 between San José and Río Frío.

A small, brown, glass perfume bottle with a neat gold trim is causing excitement at Sydney’s Jewish Museum. This piece, recently donated by heritage consultant, David Logan, becomes the first artwork in the museum that was taken from a Jewish private collection by the Nazis and subsequently restored to its rightful heirs some 80 years later.
The bottle comes from the collection of Logan’s grandfather, Wilhelm Perlhoefter, a prosperous merchant in Breslau who had a passion for glass, particularly for pieces made using the lithyalin process invented by Bohemian master craftsman, Friedrich Egermann (1777-1864). This process, which remained a closely guarded secret, enabled Egermann to create glass objects that resembled marble or semi-precious stone.
In a collection of more than 1000 objects Perlhoefter accumulated 400 pieces by Egermann. Museum directors and connoisseurs would call in to see these treasures, which were arranged in glass cases spread throughout a spacious apartment. “As a child,” Logan says, “my mother felt embarrassed about inviting friends home because the family apartment looked like a museum.”
Everything began to change when the Nazis came to power in 1933. Perlhoefter’s business would be “Aryanised” in 1938, and on November 9 that year – the notorious Kristallnacht – he would be arrested and imprisoned in Buchenwald. During four weeks in the camp Perlhoefter almost died of a kidney infection. “My mother said that one more day would have killed him,” Logan says. The condition for release was an amnesty that was applied when people turned 60 – a policy not destined to endure under the Third Reich.

text: I was taken away to Snooker Glen, Kentucky on the first page. At first, I thought it was a "light read", basically a book I could shut my brain off and get carried away. Well, carried away I was --- with an extraordinary plot and imaginative characters (all of whom I can say I met personally once or twice). I recommended the book to a few ladies at my church because it portrays a vivid and lively, and quite accurate account of a Southern woman and her family. Snooker Glen is a perfect book for a book club or discussion group - with so many issues intertwined. The author applies the concept of Biblical Esther to the way we live now, in a world threatened by bureaucracy and divided by language, aristocracy, money and religion.
