I wasn't expecting the amethyst beads in this bracelet to be so gorgeous but they absolutely sparkle. This bracelet looks more expensive than it is and is a work of art. I highly recommend this artisan.

Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain 2015 model year C-Class sedans due to a potential fault with the steering system that may make turning difficult. The issue affects 28,500 C-Class sedans in Germany and an additional 10,500 vehicles in the U.S., the automaker said.
In certain C-Class sedans, the steering coupling interlock may have been installed in an “open” position, when it should have been locked. The problem, which Mercedes says could cause the steering wheel to squeak under certain conditions, was first discovered on two vehicles in Europe in September.
Daimler says it is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the problem. German customers have already been notified to bring their vehicles in for an inspection, which will take about 30 minutes. Mercedes USA spokesperson Donna Boland said there’s “no reason to think our vehicles have this problem,” although Mercedes is asking American customers to have their vehicles checked anyway.

S.Africa’s Zuma vows to reclaim economy from ‘white males’
South Africa's economy is still in the apartheid era and blacks must wrest control of the continent's financial and mining powerhouse from the white minority, President Jacob Zuma said Tuesday.
“The structure of the apartheid economy has remained largely intact and has not included higher or inclusive growth,” Zuma said as he opened a key policy conference of the ruling African National Congress (ANC).
During talks with the apartheid regime before the end of white minority rule in 1994, the party “had to make certain compromises in national interest and these were absolutely necessary,” Zuma said.
“The ownership of the economy is still primarily in the hands of white males as it had always been,” he said.
“The ANC must democratise and deracialise the ownership and control of the economy by empowering the African community and blacks in general.”
Around 3,500 party and alliance partner delegates from the country’s nine provinces were expected at the four-day conference in Johannesburg to discuss what has been termed a “second transition”.
White South Africans — around 10 percent of the population — still own as much as 80 percent of the land.

This is an antique Dixie Banjolele. I don't know much about it except what I got off the internet. It was my roommate's grandfather's. It is all Metal and has Dixie on the top and patent pending made in the u.s.a on the back. I do not know what kind of condition it is in, since I'm not a musician, but it definetley will need new strings. Thanks for looking.
Most are built of wood with metal accoutrements, although the mid-century "Dixie" brand featured banjoleles made from solid metal. The banjolele neck typically has sixteen frets: shorter than a banjo, but longer than a standard soprano or concert sized ukulele. Banjo ukuleles may be open-backed, or may incorporate a resonator.

The New Mastersounds & Turkuaz 12.17.16
The Orange Peel
Words By Taylor Hall
Photos By J. Scott Shrader Photography
The week before Christmas is always a joyous time. A time to give thanks and enjoy the fruits of your labor. A time to drink, eat, and be merry. Saturday night was no different, as The New Mastersounds and Turkuaz, ended their fall tour at the Orange Peel in Asheville, NC.
The night started with Turkuaz, a 9 piece "Powerfunk" outfit hailing from Brooklyn, NY. Turkuaz sounds like the Talking Heads and Rick James had a musical child, minus the glitter and over sized suits. Their songs boast strong melodies and catchy choruses. Their live show features strong vocal performances, killer horn solos,incredible guitar work, and a hyped up bass player that would make Bootsy Collins proud. Overall Turkuaz puts on a great live performance with plenty of energy to keep the party going.
The New Mastersounds took the stage shortly after Turkuaz starting with a song off of Therapy titled "Monday Meters." The band would then take the crowd on a journey through their catalog, touching on tracks from Made For Pleasure, Out From The Faultline, Ten Years On, and more. The New Mastersounds are known for their new age jazzfunk dance party, and were not to shy to keep their reputation alive and well. The set included a barrage of sit-ins from varying members of Turkuaz, which was a welcomed surprise.
The Turkuaz horn section came out about midway through the set to join The New Mastersounds on a killer version of Billy Preston's "Will It Run Round In Circles." The horn section was prevalent for most of the set after that, touching on classic NMS tunes. The encore would include two songs that NMS and Turkuaz wrote together. The song "On The Border" sounds like classic Parliament Funk, boasting a beautiful vocal chorus and infectious groove, true funk at it's finest. Look for these two bands to do a lot of work with each other in the future. Their stylings are so well matched, that it seems that destiny or fate brought them together to forge the path of a new funk revolution.

Gov. Rick Snyder
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder said Monday that he considers talent to be the state's most valuable resource and said his goal is to keep people in the state who have valuable skills, including foreigners who study at the state's colleges.
"I am probably the most pro-immigration governor in the United States," Snyder told about 40 recently hired Chrysler employees. "I think we need to go back to what made us a great country, which is encouraging people to stay in the U.S."
America became economically strong in part because immigrants who came to America seeking a better life became entrepreneurs and sought degrees in higher education, he said.
"We have immigration laws in the U.S. set up now that say we're going to educate these really bright people to get a PhD in engineering, and our policy is to tell them they have to get out," after they graduate, Snyder said. "How dumb is that?"
Snyder's comments came in response to a question from a Chrysler employee about the promotion of diversity in Michigan. The governor spoke for about 10 minutes at Chrysler's headquarters in Auburn Hills before fielding questions about tourism, the state's unemployment outlook and the available jobs in the state.
Michigan's unemployment rate has dropped from 14.2% in August 2009 to 8.5% in March as the automotive industry has begun to recover and hire more workers.
"That's still too high," Snyder said. "But our role is not to create jobs. Our role is to create the environment where jobs can flourish."
Snyder said there are about 80,000 open jobs in Michigan for positions that range from accounting and nursing to welding. The challenge is matching skilled workers with the openings, Snyder said.
Snyder also said Chrysler's progress under majority owner Fiat is an inspiration for the state.
"In many respects, Chrysler is leading the way," Snyder said.

Synchronize Your Budget Structure with Your Organization Structure
- by Arun Agrawal, Technical Consultant, SAP India Pvt., Ltd.
- July 19, 2013
Review the technical specifications for a custom-developed tool that caters to the requirement to synchronize the organization structure and the budget structure for organizations using SAP Enterprise Compensation Management budgeting for their compensation management. Learn:
How to create the program to address the create, movement, and delimit scenarios
The high-level design as well as pseudo code of the program
The function modules, classes, tables, relationship codes, and messages to be used
A budget structure consists of a budget unit with a budget type, which defines a structure, such as a company or department. Employees are sometimes compensated above their normal remuneration as a reward for achievements or as motivation. This compensation is administered by defining the budget unit. Budgeting provides the control mechanism for compensation administration within SAP Enterprise Compensation Management.
An organization structure is always changing. In the SAP Enterprise Compensation Management (ECM) system, which uses the Manager Self-Service (MSS) interface and allows you to develop and monitor detailed budgets based on organizational hierarchy data, there is an organization structure as well as a budget structure. The budget structure is generated from the organizational structure for a period and carries budget information. Once the budget structure is generated, it cannot be changed. A new budget structure can be generated, but changes are not possible. The budget structure is a mirror of the organizational structure at the time of generation with different budget types and periods and consists of budget units.
There can be disruptions in the environment caused by various factors in any organization that affect the organizational structure, resulting in changes to or creation of new hierarchies: changes in the organizational structure, adding a new department, movement of an employee or manager within the organizational structure, and so on. However, the budget structure is not affected by this change.
In the standard SAP system, there is no way to synchronize the organizational structure and budget structure. Moreover, HR administrators and users have noticed that this affects reporting in areas such as compensation planning, reviews, and manager-employee interaction. I’ll show you how to create an ABAP-based tool that works only with ECM systems and is for the salary review process. It can solve situations such as the following: The salary review process is set up for a year starting from January to December. The budget structure is generated based on the organizational structure in January 2012. The budget is then allocated to each department and the managers. Sometime in 2012, the organizational structure changed – say a new department was created. The budget amount should update accordingly.
In this article, I show you the technical specifications for how to develop your own solution and sync the organizational structure and the budget structure. Developers can benefit most from this article, but functional users can also take away the knowledge and use the same pseudo code for developing the tool. As a prerequisite, SAP ECM must be implemented along with an SAP Note that I’ll explain later.

Walking into Wholey’s reminds me of my youth.
I grew up around fresh seafood. Born in New Brunswick, Canada, lobster was very prevalent in my neck of the woods. I remember my Nanny cooking them up pretty often, and I also remember getting the chance to hold one.
It’s been years since I’ve held a lobster so, compliments of a kind employee at Wholey’s in The Strip District, he handed me one from its tank and I got to take a look at it. It felt exactly as I remember, but was far heavier than I thought it would be.
If you’ve never been to Wholey’s, please make sure to make a pit stop the next time you’re in Pittsburgh. The grocery store is an icon of The Strip District and is filled with regional foods, a sushi bar, and of course, seafood.

Arsenal remain interested in Palmeiras midfielder Danilo as Mikel Arteta looks to build on an impressive start to the season.
Arsenal went into the World Cup break five points clear at the top of the Premier League after Manchester City lost at home to Brentford in the final game before the tournament.
Looking at the Premier League table, you wouldn’t immediately think Arsenal need reinforcements, but if they want to keep their momentum going as they head into a congested fixture schedule after the World Cup, increased squad depth could be important.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed to CaughtOffside via his Substack column that Arsenal remain interested in Palmeiras midfielder Danilo, but there’s no update on negotiations between the two parties.
“At the moment there’s still no change in the situation. Danilo is one of the players on Arsenal’s list since July, he’s appreciated and the relationship with his agents is very good, for sure; but at the moment there are still no changes in the negotiation with Palmeiras or the player’s side. I think we’ll have to wait bit longer to find out Arsenal’s next moves,” said Romano.
Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey have been in sensational form for Arsenal this season but there’s a considerable drop off when either player is unavailable. Albert Sambi Lokonga is still adapting to the Premier League and Arteta has often used Martin Odegaard in a deeper role, nullifying his attacking threat.
Arsenal’s recruitment strategy has been to target younger up-and-coming players, so signing Danilo wouldn’t be a surprise.

The following are some of the major events that have been dominating the global headlines in the month of August:
Fires at Amazon forest trigger global calls for greater environmental protection
Massive fires erupted in the Amazon forest in Brazil in late August, triggering outcry as well as calls for better protection of the “lungs of the earth” across the globe. The latest wildfires contained at least thousands of hotspots spanning several states in the country namely Amazonas, Rondonia, Para and Mato Grosso. In addition to Brazil, the fires have also spread to forests in the neighboring Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay. As efforts to contain the blaze were launched, there have also been criticisms against the Brazilian government’s handling of the situation. Human acts were thought to be blamed as fire is often used to clear out lands for farming and ranching. Amid allegations of being complicit, the Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro had instead accused non-governmental organisations (NGOs) for the fire, resulting in a barrage of outcry domestically and abroad. One of the strongest criticisms came from the French President, Emmanuel Macron, who suggested to use the G7 summit to discuss the matter. His call received backing from the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The Brazilian government however retaliated, saying that the Macron was using the “internal issue of Brazil and other Amazonian countries” for his personal political gain. Elsewhere, protests also erupted in front of the diplomatic missions of Brazil around the world over the fires.
Communications blackout imposed in Kashmir following revocation of special status
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi revoked the special status granted for Muslim-majority Kashmir in mid-August following a landslide election victory few months earlier. Though the revocation of Article 370 has been stated clearly in his manifesto, there were still fears that the move would heighten the already tense situation in one of the militarized regions in the world. As a result, the Indian government poured in thousands of troops into major cities and towns of the state including Srinagar as well as imposed a total communication blackout in order to maintain calm and stability among its populace. As part of his nationalistic agenda, Modi also used the Independence Day anniversary to rally support for his move, citing that the article has long been a stumbling block in the development of the state. While some opposition parties expressed dissatisfaction, their responses were largely subdued due to the stronger majority possessed by Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the parliament, Lok Sabha. Internationally, Modi’s move received the strongest backlashes from India’s regional neighbors namely Pakistan and China. Both of the countries claimed that Delhi’s unilateral move would threaten regional peace. Being the archival of India in South Asia, Pakistan also partially closed its airspace while downgrading diplomatic ties with India in response to the revocation.
Sudan protest leaders, military ink transitional government deal
After months of unrest following the fall of Omar al-Bashir, the Sudanese protest leaders and military finally inked a power-sharing deal, paving way for the transition toward a civilian-led government. The agreement was being hailed as a key turning point after months of stalemate between both sides that saw violent clashes and deaths among the protesters. Under the agreement, a joint military and civilian council will be established to rule the country for at least three years, after which elections will follow. A cabinet appointed by the activists as well as a legislative would also be formed during this period to ensure administrative functionality. Despite this, some quarters have greeted the agreement with cautious optimism amid worries that the military might renege on their promises by delaying certain clauses thus allowing them to rule longer. Additionally, some also added that a number of challenges await the transitional government as the country has been battered by post-coup chaos for several months, resulting in erosion of the economy as well as institutional capacities among others. On the other hand, the international community including the African Union and Ethiopia that brokered the agreement have welcomed the development with relief after months of deadly violence.
Unrest in Papua following arrest of students
The Indonesian provinces of Papua and West Papua suffered from waves of unrest as tension simmered over the arrest of a group of Papuan students in mid-August. Riots erupted in a number of cities in the provinces including Nabire, Jayapura, Sorong, Fakfak, Timika as well as Manokwari in which demonstrators, mostly Papuans called for independence and equal treatment by the Indonesian government. At some point of the protests, some demonstrators also displayed the banned Morning Star flag, which symbolized independence resulting in scores of arrests. In a bid to quell the unrest, thousands of troops were deployed into the region and a communication blackout was also imposed to prevent spread of rumors at a sensitive time when Indonesia marked its 74th anniversary of independence. President Joko Widodo had also appealed for calm as the biggest riots in decades spread in both provinces. The latest bout of clashes has been regarded as a culmination of frustration among the Papuans who often felt they are being treated as “second-class” citizens in the country. Despite this, it has been hoped that the reconciliatory tone struck by the Indonesian government will be able to mitigate the ongoing violence in the region, which has already been plagued by a low-level insurgency.
G7 summit in Biarritz skips joint communique
The Group of Seven summit was held in late August in which leaders of some of the most powerful economies in the world descended into the French city of Biarritz to discuss several issues including trade, the wildfires in Amazon as well as global security challenges. On top of the usual members of the G7, the summit was also attended by leaders non-member states including India, Egypt and Chile among others for the group’s outreach session. One of the most notable attendees of the summit was the Iranian foreign minister, Javad Zarif who held talks with French President Emmanuel Macron on the sideline amid an ongoing nuclear stalemate with the US. Although there were no direct talks with any officials of the President Donald Trump’s administration, there have been speculations that Macron was using the summit in an attempt to broker talks between Washington and Tehran. Besides Iran, the summit also became a turf for a war of words between the French and Brazilian governments amid the fires in the Amazon forest. While G7 members pledged to provide US$ 20 million in aid for Brazil to combat the blaze, the chief of staff for President Jair Bolsonaro rejected the offer and labelled Macron’s move as “colonialist” and mocking the latter for failing to stop the “avoidable” Notre Dame blaze. The summit also ended without a joint communique as the host nation sought to avoid a repeat of a 2018 row between Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

MP3 Travis Abercrombie - Spin
Driving, powerful and unflinching modern rock/power pop that will leave the others in the dust.
10 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Modern Rock, POP: with Live-band Production
Travis Abercrombie is a modern rock singer/songwriter originally hailing from South Carolina. Travis himself has been performing at various clubs, colleges, and festivals for eight years. He started off his music career at Clemson University, where he co-founded one of South Carolina''s most successful college party bands at the time, Seven Miles. The group ended up selling at least 3000 CD''s in its career, which left Travis wanting to take his career to the next level. So, after recording a spiritual, debut solo album, Bridges, he decided to pick up and move to Nashville to "stick out" as a rock-pop artist in a predominately country town.
After getting to Nashville in 2001, he began playing writer''s nights and open mic nights at venues like The Bluebird Café, Douglas Corner, and The French Quarter Café among many others. All the while, he continued to write new material and find new connections. Heather Dunn, for example, is an outstanding alt-country singer/songwriter. In fact, the two of them hit it off and began singing out at clubs and co-writing many songs that would end up being on Travis'' breakout CD, entitled Spin .
Travis knew he needed to get out and start performing live with a full band and building his own buzz. So, the following months after the completion of Spin were spent adding members to Travis'' would-be band. Drummer, Josh Faucher, was someone that Travis met when he first came to Nashville, and he fit perfectly personally and professionally into the band. But, with Nashville being so full of musicians for hire, it was tough to get guitarists and bassists who would commit to just one project, so Travis and Josh both endured grueling lineup changes for the next six months. But, one day their fortunes finally changed, and here came the wildly energetic, guitarist-turned bassist, Jason Hall, to fill the void. The Travis Abercrombie Band was formed.
Spin hit the stores, and the band hit the stage. The buzz started to come, and they found that they had the talent, drive, and eventually, a business team, to be propelled to the next level. Two local entertainment publications, The Nashville Scene and The Rage, both had the Travis Abercrombie Band as their "Critics'' Pick" for every single local Nashville show. Better yet, the southeast regional entertainment publication, The Weekly''s, Inc., wrote a full-page article saying that The Travis Abercrombie Band was the next "Band on the Brink". The album, Spin, in a word is... "WOW" (https://www.tradebit.com 2002). "From top to bottom, they are all great songs with different moods." Everyone seems to have a favorite, which is cool by Travis. He "sings about lust, obsession, and longing with genuine emotion". (Donna Colelli, Sensored Magazine.) The band toured throughout late 2002, and all of 2003 to promote Spin ...selling over 2500 copies at shows!!!
Since the album''s release, Nashville radio stations like 102.9 "The Buzz" and Lightning 100.1 have had Travis in as their studio guest, and have played the singles "A Little Too Much" and the title track, "Spin" in steady rotation on their weekly local music shows. Consequently, 102.9 "The Buzz" had also chosen the single, "A Little Too Much", to be on the "Best of Local Buzz" compilation CD to be released in the summer 2003. Travis'' music is often heard on AIIR Radio (Artists International Independent Radio), which is a Live Internet Radio Station promoting independent and unsigned artists across the country.
In late 2003, the CD was also placed into medium and sometimes, heavy rotation with college radio stations throughout the country thanks to the efforts of Powderfinger Promotions. But, THE highlight of Travis'' career came in April 2003, when the band had the honor of opening for one of Travis'' biggest influences, Vertical Horizon, at the University of Texas'' "40 Acres Fest" in front of thousands of people! The band continued to tour through the summer, fall and winter of 2003, but in November ''03, due to some "timing" issues with the industry itself, the team decided to re-energize and pursue other interests in ''04. Travis tried songwriting for other artists(check out https://www.tradebit.com), started an artist development company and booking agency with the now successful Nashville firm, Dreamscapers Int''l, and just got himself ready for a new project that he can come out guns blazin'' with. He''s finished tracking and mixing another album, and rest assured, it will be his best effort yet by far! Travis'' now just released album, " Tied ", hit internet stores and over 250 college radio stations as of September 27, 2005!! Check out what the largest indie internet store, https://www.tradebit.com, says about the new album ''Tied''..."Only a matter of time before these songs hit radio. The best indie mainstream pop/rock album out there."
"Travis, some times my job as the AAA music director is quite hard, because of the lack of talent that comes across my desk. It''s artists like you who make my job worthwhile. I really enjoy listening to your music. Its so full of energy and emotion,and a musical gift...Thanks so much."

Small satellites, big future
Small satellites like these can be launched in coordinated fleets, working together to reveal new applications in the digital age
Modern life relies on satellites. Everything from using credit cards and tracking flights, to weather apps and video calls, are only made possible by the complex network of man-made spacecraft orbiting our planet. What’s more, as terrestrial technology gets more intricate and connected via the Internet of Things, satellites will become even more essential in the future.
Today, there are nearly 5,000 satellites in space, and according to the United Nations Register of Objects Launched into Outer Space, this figure is snowballing annually. However, while the number of orbiting satellites continues to grow, their relative size and weight has been shrinking in recent years. In fact, if we were to define a small satellite as weighing less than 100kg, then more small satellites were launched in the previous two years than in all of human history.
To explain this rapid reduction in size of modern satellites, Professor Low Kay Soon from the Satellite Technology and Research Centre (STAR) at NUS Engineering gives his insights on their utility in the digital age.
Used mainly for weather monitoring and surveillance applications, satellites were traditionally about the dimensions of a public bus and weighed several tonnes. “Satellites like these cost hundreds of millions of dollars and take many years to build,” explained Prof Low. As such they could only be constructed by governments or very large aerospace organisations.
Now, smaller satellites have democratised the industry as they no longer require vast resources to build and launch. Definitions vary, but a satellite in the range of 10 to 100kg is usually classified as a microsatellite, while anything less than 10kg can be called a nanosatellite.
“Micro and nanosatellites can be built in a much quicker time frame for a fraction of the cost. Universities and commercial companies can now afford to experiment with satellite technology, and exciting new applications can be explored,” Prof Low explained.
“For a large satellite that costs a few hundred million dollars, you cannot afford to take risks and would have to be extremely conservative in choosing any new parts. Whereas with smaller satellites we can be more daring. We can use cutting-edge components and state-of-the-art instruments to conduct really interesting experiments.”
“Another advantage of smaller satellites is mass production using commercially available parts, such that dozens of satellites can be built and launched in fleets,” said Prof Low. Networking them together opens up the possibilities of new applications and greater resilience — if one satellite malfunctions, the rest of the fleet are still operational.
Singapore is an up-and-coming player in the small satellite world with NUS research at the forefront. Previous NUS projects included exploring quantum technologies in space to develop quantum communications, and launching graphene into the stratosphere to test its properties for future applications.
Prof Low’s current research is looking at coordinating multiple satellites into flying formations. This is certainly no mean feat — formation flying requires pinpoint-accurate propulsion systems, atomic clocks that stay synchronised at 26,000km per hour, and the ability to locate the satellites in real time down to less than a metre.
“This has only ever been achieved with pairs of satellites previously. At STAR we are now working on formation flying with three satellites, and we are optimistic to be the first in the world to pioneer this ability,” he stated.
Small satellites have proven their utility and revealed new applications not even possible with large satellites. By using small satellites, the Internet will be made accessible to the world’s most remote places, a crucial connectivity need in this digital age.
Having launched six Singapore-made satellites in his career, Prof Low is upbeat about the local efforts, “With Singapore’s established track record in successful small satellite launches and the trailblazing research lab at STAR, we are certainly among the world leaders in this small satellite field. In the future, as this trend towards miniaturised satellites increases, this will definitely play to our strengths.”

Mental Enrichment for Dogs
Whilst throwing balls for our dogs and enjoying watching them charge around is great fun this kind of activity causes the adrenalin to pump and for some dogs may lead to feeling over excited, unable to relax and can lead to destruction and anxiety. It can also be detrimental to your pet’s physical health.
Also, what happens if your dog cannot run around? Perhaps they have an injury, are recovering from a procedure at the vets or are just getting older.
Low impact mental stimulation is great for every dog. As well as physical exercise dogs need mental activity where they use their brain [and usually their nose] to keep them truly happy.
Here are some great ideas for mental stimulation games;
- POT GAME- Place upside down cups, bowls or plant pots on the floor or in the garden and hide treats under some of them and leave others empty. Your dog will quicky learn to search for the treats under the pots. You can perhaps mix the treats up with high value [piece of chicken] and lower value [chopped carrots]
- TOILET ROLL HOLDERS- There is a use for these! Place treats inside them and then create a parcel. Hide these around the house or garden for your pet to find.
- TEA TOWEL GAME- Roll treats inside a tea towel and allow your dog to search them out i.e, homemade version of a snuffle matt
- WATER LOVERS- Drop treats into a paddling pool for dogs to search out
- OLD LOGS – Scatter treats amongst these for your dog to find 6. PATE- Simply smearing pate on fence posts, buckets etc for your dog to find and lick is great. The act of licking is also calming for dogs
NB, Take care that dogs do not ingest anything that may cause a foreign body or use anything sharp that could cause harm. Also take care if you have multiple dogs who make not want to share food. Instead do these exercises with them separately.

I’m not asking if we are consuming flounder, salmon or tuna. I’m much more concerned with the provenance of the fish we are eating. Is it wild or farmed?
To many, the question seems innocuous or immaterial. However, I consider it tantamount to knowing if your meat and dairy products are derived from grass- or corn-fed animals and if your fruits and vegetables are grown in soil awash with pesticides and chemicals.
Fish farms have many issues (some positive, more negative) associated with them, but the major problems that should be causing alarm are disease, the threatening of wild fish populations and the lack of flavor in the final product.
I’ll quote from three articles that have recently appeared in The New York Times. I highly recommend taking the time to read them.
The disease issue was touched upon by Taras Grescoe, who described how salmon in Canadian fish farms are attracting sea lice:
"To rid salmon of the lice, fish farmers spike their feed with a strong pesticide called emamectin benzoate, which when administered to rats and dogs causes tremors, spinal deterioration and muscle atrophy. The United States Food and Drug Administration, already hard-pressed to inspect imported Asian seafood for antibiotic and fungicide residues, does not test imported salmon for emamectin benzoate. In other words, the farmed salmon in nearly every American supermarket may contain this pesticide, which on land is used to rid diseased trees of pine beetles."The threatening of wild fish populations comes about because a large percentage of wild fish caught is used for feed for farmed fish, denying other, larger wild fish their food supply. This from an editorial last week:
"According to a new report by scientists from the University of British Columbia and financed by the Pew Institute for Ocean Science, 37 percent by weight of all the fish taken from the ocean is forage fish: small fish like sardines and menhaden. Nearly half of that is fed to farmed fish; most of the rest is fed to pigs and poultry.And for the flavor issue, this from yesterday's article by Mark Bittman, a Times food writer and author of “How to Cook Everything”:
The problem is that forage fish are the feedstock of marine mammals and birds and larger species of fish. In other words, farmed fish, pigs and poultry — and the humans who eat them — are competing for food directly with aquatic species that depend on those forage fish for their existence. It’s as if humans were swimming in schools in the ocean out-eating every other species."
"Farm-raised tilapia . . . is less desirable to many consumers, myself included, than that nearly perfectly blank canvas called tofu. It seems unlikely that farm-raised striped bass will ever taste remotely like its fierce, graceful progenitor, or that anyone who’s had fresh Alaskan sockeye can take farmed salmon seriously."

The anniversary of “OXI” (NO) of 28 October 1940 was honoured with respect by the Greeks of Sydney, bowing to our heroic ancestors who fought with self-denial, sacrificing even their lives for the ideals of the Faith and the freedom of the Homeland.
On the morning of Sunday, 31 October, an official Doxology service was held at the Church of St Mary’s by His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia and then a memorial service was chanted and wreaths laid at the cenotaph located in the courtyard of the Cathedral of the Annunciation of the Theotokos. Among those present were Bishop-elect Prochoros of Charioupolis; the Chancellor of the Archdiocese, the Very Reverend Archimandrite Christophoros Krikelis; the Consul General of Greece in Sydney, Mr Christos Karras; the President of the Inter-communities Council, Mr Kos Dimitriou; and representatives of community associations and organisations including the President of the Greek Orthodox Community of NSW, Mr Harry Danalis.
Addressing those present at the end of the ceremony, His Eminence Archbishop Makarios initially referred to the adverse conditions under which this year’s celebration of the “NO” anniversary was organised. As he explained, not only were there restrictions in place due to the coronavirus pandemic but there were also the consequences of the devastating fire that recently occurred at the Cathedral. He thanked the representatives of the community organisations who responded to the invitation and attended the ceremony, although the relevant permission from those responsible for the restoration works was granted shortly before the event took place. Nevertheless, he said he was convinced that “God will bless us so that next year the conditions will be much better and we will be able to officially honour those who fought for our freedom.”
In addition, the Archbishop focused on the heroic “NO” shouted by our ancestors 81 years ago and stressed that this word should censure the consciences of modern Greeks, so that they oppose any action that challenges our ideals, values and beliefs. “Not to react, for the sake of reacting”, he clarified, “but with this ‘no’ to preserve what we received from our ancestors.”

At MLJ, we love exploring the possibilities different stones and settings offer. The pink pearl stud is a variant on the traditional white that boasts a similar ability to be dressed up or down, but with a very different feel. The rose colour is a deep pink that is also soft and delicate and goes well with a light, airy dress or as the finishing touch on the perfect outfit. They also work well as a gift to a younger woman or teenager who is building her jewellery collection. These earrings are unpretentious, fun, but also are very lovable and will see a lot of use. It goes without saying that for the pink-loving person, there is no better jewellery piece.
At Modern Love Jewellery, we are fully committed to ethical jewellery. We aim to work only with responsibly sourced or recycled precious metals. All of our gemstones are natural, as are our diamonds, which are Canadian or conflict free.
This item can be made to order in other metals and karats (yellow/rose/white golds) as well as platinum. It can be custom ordered in different proportions and with different shapes and sizes of gemstone. If this piece is perfect except for its ring size, we can size it or remake it in the appropriate size for you. (Additional costs may apply.)

History of Modern Dance
The beginnings of modern dance in the United States (Germany also had a related and influential dance movement) are traced to the early 20th century to a group of dancers often labeled the forerunners of modern dance. Isadora Duncan, Loie Fuller, Ruth St. Dennis, and her husband and partner Ted Shawn, each made significant contributions to a new type of concert dance in America. Their dance reflected and challenged the art, philosophy, and issues of their time, explored the cultures of other places and times, made new advances in theatrical lighting and spectacle, and discarded the costumes and artificiality of ballet. They were exploring and expressing themselves in a way that had never been seen before, and they were guiding others to do the same.
Lydia Johnson Bio
Lydia Johnson Dance
Originally from Massachusetts, Ms. Johnson studied at Suny/Purchase and on scholarship at The Alvin Ailey American Dance Center. She continued her studies on New York with Finis Jhung and Sara Rudner among others. She presented her early work in New York at numerous dance spaces and founded One Night Stand, a series of co-operative showcases, which allowed choreographers to present new work inexpensively. She has received a Monticello Foundation award sponsored by The National Association of Regional Ballet as well as a recent Harkness Dance Center Space Grant from the 92nd Street Y. LJD was founded in 1999 when Ms. Johnson returned to her choreography after taking several years to be home with her three children while working part time. She is a Guest Artist Faculty member at Peridance Capezio Center in New York City where she and her Company hold Repertory Workshops for advanced and professional dancers.
Lydia Johnson Dance (New York City and New Jersey) has been consistently praised for its distinctive choreography, which uses components of ballet woven seamlessly into a contemporary dance vocabulary. The Company has received positive critical acclaim from The New York Times, The New Yorker and Backstage Magazine for its annual New York Season.
LJD is honored to be highlighted frequently in Philip Gardner's Oberon's Grove blog in a series titled “The Creative Process”. LJD has performed recently at both Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival and the Downtown Dance Festival. Ms. Johnson is a Guest Artist faculty member at the Peridance Capezio Center in New York where LJD presents Repertory Workshops for advanced and professional dancers.

Dunedin City Council may have to reassess the servicing of toilets and rubbish bins at Ocean View as the site has proven popular with freedom campers, Saddle Hill Community Board chairman Scott Weatherall says.
Mr Weatherall said 12 to 20 campers stayed at the Ocean View site most nights.
''Unofficially, I would call it the Ocean View Camping Ground,'' he said.
The council eased freedom camping rules in the city late last year, to allow up to five vehicles to stay for one night in the three designated areas at Ocean View, Macandrew Bay and Warrington.
No complaints had been directed to the community board as a result of the campers, Mr Weatherall said.
''What we are seeing is the rubbish bins are getting a lot more full,'' he said.
''What we are not seeing is the dumping of human waste that we might see with the more traditional freedom camping in the lay-bys.''
He was taking the lack of negative feedback as ''positive feedback'', but he needed to talk to camping ground owners and nearby residents to get a clearer picture of the situation.
''We also need to be mindful that we do have camping grounds in the area,'' he said.
''But to be fair, these people using the Ocean View area probably weren't camping in the camping grounds anyway.''
Mr Weatherall said the new rule had concentrated the freedom campers who used to be spread out across the area.
While use of the facilities at Ocean View was ''really good'', the council might need to evaluate the servicing of them, he said.
''I know the council has said it's a two-year trial, but we need to be open to feedback,'' he said.
Dunedin City Council reserves policy and planning officer Paula Dickel said the three sites had proved ''very popular''.
The community's response to the sites had also been positive.
''Most of the feedback we have been getting is that people are being responsible,'' she said.
The popularity of the Ocean View site was greater than expected.
The council was monitoring the site to ensure the servicing of the facilities was adequate, however, servicing levels ''seem to be holding up'' and the council would review the policy ''some time after April next year''.
''If there's a need to increase that [servicing levels] it will be addressed, but it's something that needs to be monitored.''
The servicing and use of the Ocean View site would be discussed at the community board meeting today, Mr Weatherall said.

IOM Creates Emergency Safe Havens for Bangladesh’s Rohingya Refugees
Cox’s Bazar – Dozens of community buildings in Bangladesh’s Rohingya refugee camps have been upgraded by shelter teams from IOM, the UN Migration Agency, to provide temporary accommodation for refugees in emergency situations.
Seventy buildings have now been completed under the first phase of the project, supported by the European Union (EU), offering temporary shelter space for over 4,500 people.
The upgraded structures will allow IOM shelter and site management teams to provide better protection for refugees if they are affected by landslides, floods, bad weather or other unexpected events that force them to leave their own shelters.
Mohammed Nur, 36, a maji or community representative, said: “If weather conditions turn bad and storms destroy our shelters, people from our area will be able to stay here safely for a few days. It is a relief for all of us.”
In a second phase of community shelter upgrade work, to be funded by the United Kingdom, a further 100 buildings will undergo improvements. Once completed, the 170 strengthened structures will be able to accommodate 10,000 people with urgent shelter needs.
The facilities will also serve as a temporary accommodation for families whose shelters need to be repaired or completely re-built in the coming months, as the dry season offers a window of opportunity to tackle damage inflicted during the monsoon season.
“IOM and partners have provided over 100,000 households with materials to help them upgrade their own shelters. But weather and environmental conditions in the camps mean tens of thousands of families live with the knowledge that their shelters could be damaged or destroyed at any time,” said Manuel Pereira, IOM’s Emergency Coordinator in Cox’s Bazar.
“Ensuring we have secure and stable buildings in which people can safely take shelter if disaster strikes is hugely important under such circumstances. This project means that even though people are living in very uncertain conditions, if the worst happens, we are still able to offer them a safe haven.”
The EU funding was provided by the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO) under a consortium project implemented by IOM, the German Red Cross, and the UN Development Programme (UNDP). The Disaster Risk Reduction consortium was established to mitigate against disasters among refugee and local communities affected by the Rohingya refugee crisis.
Almost a million Rohingya are currently living in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, after escaping violence in Myanmar, which surged in late August 2017 sending over 500,000 people fleeing across the border in just a few weeks. The region is prone to some of the worst monsoon conditions on earth and undergoes two cyclone seasons each year.
Most Rohingya live in what has become the largest refugee settlement in the world – a desperately overcrowded environment on ground prone to landslides and flooding. People living in local villages, where infrastructure has been severely overstretched since the arrival of so many people in a very short period, also face ongoing risk of environmental and other disasters.

Michael Klarman: The Supreme Court Has Never Been in the Vanguard of Social ReformRoundup: Talking About History
Michael Klarman, in the NYT (May 17, 2004):
The Supreme Court has never been in the vanguard of social reform. Few people would credit it with playing a pivotal role in the women's movement, the environmental movement or the gay rights movement. Yet many people, citing the court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education, insist that it played a crucial role in the civil rights movement.
The justices who decided the case knew better. Brown was possible only because significant changes in racial attitudes and practices were already taking place in America. Justice Felix Frankfurter later observed that had a challenge to school segregation reached the court in the 1940's, he would have voted to reject it because"public opinion had not then crystallized against segregation." The N.A.A.C.P. understood this, too, and refrained from directly challenging school segregation until 1950.
Although the origins of the civil rights movement are complex, the search for a catalyst goes back at least as far as World War II. The ideology of the war was antifascist and prodemocratic. In 1942, for example, The New York Times urged America to end racial discrimination in order to avoid"the sinister hypocrisy of fighting abroad for what it is not willing to accept at home."
Thousands of African-American soldiers became civil rights pioneers, reasoning that if they were good enough to risk their lives for democracy, they should enjoy some of it at home. During the 1940's, one and a half million African-Americans moved from the rural South, where they had been almost universally disenfranchised, to the urban North, where they not only voted without restriction but often tipped the balance between evenly divided political parties. As the cold war dawned, the United States government identified racial discrimination as a potentially crippling liability because it"furnishes grist for the Communist propaganda mills."
These and other forces were having noticeable effects even before Brown. Jackie Robinson desegregated Major League Baseball in 1947. President Harry Truman desegregated the federal military and civil service in 1948. Even in the South, significant racial reforms were afoot; black voter registration increased to 20 percent in 1950 from 3 percent in 1940. By the time of Brown, dozens of Southern cities had hired their first black police officers since Reconstruction....
Brown certainly played a role in shaping both the civil rights movement and the violent response it received from Southern whites. But racial reform in the United States was ineluctable. In the end, what the Supreme Court did or did not do was of limited importance.

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida John Allen finished 25th – second-to-last place – in last Friday’s dirt Modified race at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City, Kan. It’s not the result a NASCAR championship contender is looking for, but thanks to the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series points format, it won’t deter Allen too far from his goal. Allen, of Chante, Kan., rebounded with a win last Saturday at Linn County Speedway, in Pleasanton, Kan., and returns to the top of the NDWS Division I standings this week.
Last weekend’s races were Allen’s 23rd and 24th races of the year. For the drivers who have collected the most NASCAR points at their home track and are therefore ranked in the Division standings, only their best 16 finishes are used to determine their total. Friday’s poor showing by Allen is not counted – but the victory is. And, as the NASCAR point leader at Linn County, Allen re-gained the lead in the NDWS Division I standings.
Elsewhere, veteran asphalt Modified driver Junior Miller, of Pine Hall, N.C., advanced to second in the NDWS Division I standings after recording third- and second-place finishes in last Saturday’s twin feature events at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, N.C. Miller, a five-time track champion, recently became the Bowman Gray’s all-time win leader and has 66 career victories at the historic quarter-mile track.
To date, it is Miller’s best showing in the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series point standings. In the past, drivers were rated on an index and had to complete a minimum of 18 starts to win a regional championship. Since Bowman Gray’s schedule often included fewer than 18 events, its drivers were not eligible for the overall title. Under NASCAR’s new format, however, the playing field is level with each driver ranked on their best 16 finishes and no minimum number of races needed.
The best previous performance by a Bowman Gray Stadium driver in the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series (regional) standings was third, by Tim Brown in 1997. Miller finished fourth in the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series (regional) points in 1983.
Allen, Miller and the rest of the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series championship contenders will collect NASCAR points in each race until the season concludes Oct. 1. The 2006 NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series Division I champion can win up to $25,000 in post-season awards and become eligible for the $50,000 national championship bonus.

There is a cracker of a story in talkSPORT this morning for us here in the Football Transfer Tavern as it is claimed that Paulinho has played down talk of a move to England amidst Tottenham’s transfer interest.
The exciting midfielder is currently being tracked by a host of clubs and now it seems that he has moved to play down speculation over a move to the Premier League.
Spurs are thought to be very interested in the player as manager Andre Villas-Boas looks to bring in top class players that will convince star man Gareth Bale that he should stay at the club and snub a move to Real Madrid.
In their quest for Champions League football, Tottenham have been linked with the Brazilian who claimed that: “Unfortunately, at this moment in time, nobody has offered Corinthians the fee set in my contract for my sale. Nobody.
“All I am hearing is blah, blah, blah. My agent is in London right now, but he is not discussing me – he has other clients.
Can Tottenham snare Paulinho this summer? Rate this rumour below.

In my 30-plus years as a plumbing contractor, I’ve replaced countless water heaters. Our company, which works in the San Francisco Bay area, installs three basic kinds: conventional gas models, tankless models, and — increasingly — condensing storage heaters. Customers who want to save energy nearly always ask for a tankless water heater. That’s no surprise — tankless heaters have been getting a lot of media coverage and are the only efficient heaters most people have heard of.
In most cases, however, we recommend condensing storage heaters to our replacement customers, because they are arguably more efficient than tankless models and — when used to replace an existing heater — frequently less expensive to install. For homeowners, switching from a conventional heater to a condensing model is not a big change. If they consume the same amount of hot water as before, they’ll have lower gas bills and run out of hot water less often. Switching to a tankless heater, by contrast, requires some lifestyle adjustments: The homeowners will have to wait for the heater to produce hot water and they won’t be able to get it at very low flow rates (see “Is a Tankless Heater Right for the Job?”).
In this article, I’ll discuss condensing storage heaters and how they’re installed. Since natural gas is the primary fuel in our region, I’ll be describing gas-fired models, many of which can be field-converted for propane.
How They Work
In several respects, a condensing storage heater is like a conventional model. Both burn gas, have exhaust flues, and store hot water in an insulated tank. But a condensing heater is much more efficient because of how heat is transferred to the water.
In a conventional heater, the fuel is burned in an open chamber, and hot combustion gas rises through a flue in the center of the tank. A lot of this heat is transferred to the water in the storage tank, but a good portion exits through the vent pipe and is wasted.
In a condensing heater, a draft-inducing fan pushes air and fuel into a sealed combustion chamber inside the tank. As the fuel burns, combustion gas is exhausted through a secondary heat exchanger — a coiled steel tube submerged inside the tank. The combustion chamber and heat exchanger have large surface areas to maximize heat transfer to the water. So much heat is transferred that the combustion gases cool to the point where the water vapor in the exhaust stream condenses, releasing its latent heat, which is also transferred to the stored water. By the time the exhaust gas leaves the heater, it’s cool enough to be safely vented through inexpensive plastic plumbing pipe. (Each manufacturer accepts different kinds of pipe; options include specified types of PVC, CPVC and ABS. All are far less expensive than stainless steel.)
A cutaway drawing of a Vertex heater (above) shows the combustion chamber and secondary heat exchanger coil inside the tank. In the Phoenix model at right, the combustion chamber and secondary heat exchanger are located in the upper part of the tank, with a second heat exchanger for a solar thermal collector below.
The thermal efficiency (TE) of a condensing storage heater is quite high, typically between 90 and 96 percent. (For an explanation of thermal efficiency standards, see “Making Sense of Gas Water-Heater Ratings.”) Standby losses are low because the storage tanks are covered with thick foam insulation — plus these units all have electronic ignition, so there is no standing pilot.

They ended their long road trip by drifting to Chicago – the Cubs won 6-1 on Wednesday – as they find their aches and pains piling up.
Tatis suffered one of those injuries – the shortstop left Tuesday’s 4-3 loss with an oblique concussion, yet should not send him back on the injured list, according to manager Jayce Tingler.
That’s a good thing as Tatis scored .353 runs with nine homers and 26 RBIs, as against 21 in May. He posted those numbers in just 20 games as he missed eight while dealing with a positive COVID test.
Tatis’ deputy, Ha-Song Kim, also went down on Wednesday, as did outfielder Tommy Pham, when he collided and hit his head while chasing a shallow fly ball to the left in the fourth inning.
Both men stayed on the ground as they approached the trainers. Tingler said that Pham needed stitches on her chin, and would undergo further testing, while Kim, although astonished, did not suffer any injuries.
The team needed one more spot of good news and found it in Dinelson Lammett, who is relentlessly trying and building up strength hand trouble Which has bothered him since the end of last year.
He played four innings on Wednesday and gave up one run hitting a six.
“Maybe that was the highlight for me, how cool Lammette was… he loved it. He seemed strong…” Tingler said.
The team returns to open a seven-game home stand Thursday at 7:10 p.m. as the New York Mets head to town, followed by the Cubs. Cooking at home could be according to their need, because they enjoyed a Perfect 9-0 Home Stand last month.
Yu Darvish will open against the Mets, followed by Blake Snell and Joe Musgrove. The start of Sunday is TBD. Mets’ two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom took the mound against Musgrove on Saturday.
