In New Who‘s first year, references to Old Who were few and far between. The odd Cyberman head, a fleeting glimpse of UNIT and a surreptitious mention of the Isop Galaxy were the few, whispered call outs to the show’s long heritage. New Who was like a teenager who has suddenly become cool, deliberately shunning any links to her previous dorky self. Don’t mention the old show, this reboot seemed to say. It’s not me at all.
School Reunion changed all that, with guest appearances from two figures which, at last, firmly linked the new series to the old. Showrunner Russell T Davies’ choice of returning characters is interesting. He could easily have gone with, say, the Brigadier or Susan Foreman or Ace, or indeed any of the surviving classic Doctors. But he went with Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen) and K9 (voiced by John Leeson).
In doing so, he links his version of the program, not just to all of classic Who, but a particular part of it. Sarah Jane was a crucial part of the early Tom Baker years, and K9 an integral feature of the later Tom Baker seasons. Between them, they span a period of the program fondly remembered by many adult viewers. And for younger viewers, they provide an entry point for the classic series. School Reunion is signalling the new show’s intention to be as fondly remembered as the Tom Baker episodes while fondly remembering them itself.
Sarah’s bittersweet meeting with the Doctor (a nascent David Tennant) is the standout element of this episode, contrasting strongly with cartoony main plot of bat creatures, brain slaved children and the quest for an oblique universe altering equation (“The Skasis Paradigm!” says the Doctor, appalled. I hate those moments when we’re supposed to react to some invented sci fi term like it means something.) You can keep the school, I’ll take the reunion, thanks.
Sladen brings an emotional depth to her character, which she was only ever allowed to hint at in the old series, and explore only in the dying minutes of her tenure. Forget all that unedifying and frankly sexist rivalry with new, younger model Rose (Billie Piper). What makes this story is Sarah’s letting long held trauma burst through her cool demeanour.
It doesn’t take long. Only seconds after meeting the Doctor, it’s bubbling to the surface. “I thought you’d died,” she sobs. “I waited for you and you didn’t come back and I thought you must have died.” Later she calms down, but still her dialogue is punctuated with the raw pain of someone abandoned.
SARAH: Did I do something wrong, because you never came back for me. You just dumped me.
DOCTOR: I told you. I was called back home and in those days humans weren’t allowed.
SARAH: I waited for you. I missed you.
DOCTOR: Oh, you didn’t need me. You were getting on with your life.
SARAH: You were my life.
So among all this nostalgia for the old days of Doctor Who, there’s the longing for past days of youth and adventure. “I got old,” Sarah admits at one point, as if shamefully acknowledging a human shortcoming. K9 too is worn down and tarnished. These are companions left damaged and bereft by their time with the Doctor and the message isn’t lost on Rose. “This is really seeing the future,” she says.
School Reunion asks us to remember Old Who, but selectively. Remember The Hand of Fear, it says. And what about The Invisible Enemy, that was a corker wasn’t it? But don’t remember The Five Doctors, because that would spoil the story.
We have to ignore The Five Doctors because School Reunion gets its emotional kick from the idea that Sarah hasn’t seen the Doctor since he left her behind on that street in Aberdeen. We should be recalling the image of Sarah left alone on that road, white tassly jacket, suitcase and stuffed owl. We shouldn’t be recalling that she did meet the Doctor again – a whole lot of them actually – for his twentieth birthday party.
We also have to buy into the new idea that Sarah held a strong romantic affection for the Doctor, as strong as Rose’s.
ROSE: What do I do? Do I stay with him?
SARAH: Yes. Some things are worth getting your heart broken for.
As the Doctor says goodbye, she admits she’s never found someone to settle down with. “Well, there was this one guy,” she says wistfully. “I travelled with him for a while, but he was a tough act to follow.”
Mrs Spandrell gets confused by this moment. She says incredulously, “Are they saying she was in love with Pertwee?” And she has a point, not because it’s hard to believe anyone falling for the Pert or for Tom Baker for that matter, but because Sarah’s relationship with the Doctor was always platonic. In her time with Tom, which this story is specifically asking us to recall, their relationship was one of two knockabout mates seeing the universe together. Never once was their the sense of a deeper connection, certainly not of the boyfriend/girlfriend vibe that Tennant and Piper cultivated.
Remember some things, School Reunion says. Forget others. And completely reimagine some more. Which shouldn’t bother us too much really, as that’s what Doctor Who does all the time.
Sladen was evergreen, but time is doing School Reunion few favours. Unusually, the art direction lets the side down, with dodgy school crests blu tacked to walls and corridors randomly painted a lurid green. The guest performances are also a tad hammy and some of the CGI effects, such as the climactic explosion, fail to entirely convince. This doesn’t feel like the bold, mature sci-fi drama presented the previous year.
Instead, it all feels a bit juvenile; appropriate enough for an episode set in a high school. But I mean ‘juvenile’, in terms of its intended audience; this feels like children’s TV. Still, something about it worked enough for the potential of Sladen and The Sarah Jane Adventures to shine through. That’s this episode’s real legacy; not that it at last paid respect to the old series, but that it showed how to create something new and exciting out of its greatest hits.

Singapore Bars Visitor Entry, Limit Foreign Worker Returns
We’re tracking the latest on the coronavirus outbreak and the global response.Sign up here for our daily newsletter on what you need to know.
Singapore said it will bar all short-term visitors and limit foreign workers from entering to reduce the risk of imported cases of the coronavirus.
The government will allow the entry or return of work-permit holders to those providing essential services in sectors such as health-care and transport, National Development Minister Lawrence Wong, who co-chairs a ministerial task force to tackle the virus, said at a briefing on Sunday.
Holders of various visas or passes, which allow them to work and live in Singapore, risk not being allowed back in soon should they decide to leave the island now, Wong said.
The minister said it isn’t clear how long the restrictions on short-term visitors, which effectively starts on Tuesday, will last. Even with such visitors facing a 14-day quarantine upon arrival, 533 arrived in Singapore on Saturday, the government said.
Singapore Sticks to Social Distancing Without a Full Lockdown
“Resources were being expended to serve and enforce” quarantine rules for short-term visitors, the government said. The move to bar them “is also to conserve resources so we can focus on Singaporeans.”
Singapore on Saturday reported 47 more confirmed infections, matching a previous one-day record gain and of which 39 were imported cases.
Singapore Reports Two Deaths From Coronavirus, 47 More Cases
Almost 80% of new cases in the three days to March 21 were imported, most of them Singapore residents and long-term pass holders returning home from abroad, the government said. The imported cases had travel histories to 22 countries, it said.
Wong also said that Singapore residents who insist on traveling could face consequences for their actions, adding that the penalties are still being deliberated.

Cord blood & cord tissue
Head Freezing Will Be Available Within A Decade
Having your head frozen for potential future resuscitation is a service that will be on offer to the public within 5-10 years, according to the UK’s stem cell bank.
Famously something Walt Disney did, having your head frozen when you die is thought to be a way of preserving enough of your personality, intellect and memories to be able to bring you fully back to life at some point in the future when technology is more advanced.
But this service has previously been within the reach of only the very rich, such as Disney, while less affluent people have missed the opportunity to do this when they die.
And now, say StemProtect.co.uk, we are looking at a near future in which the service is available to everyone – for a small cost of course.
Mark Hall spokesperson for StemProtect.co.uk said: “We’re accustomed to making jokes about freezing heads when we die, and of course everyone knows Walt Disney did it – often that’s their only point of reference. But soon we could see this practice becoming commonplace because advances in technology have made it much more affordable.”
“And of course, while we’re not at the point yet where we can bring someone back to life from this procedure, we believe it’s just around the corner.”
StemProtect.co.uk agree that this does raise some weighty ethical questions, however: “We don’t yet know what the emotional impact would be of bringing someone back to life this way even when we are physically able to do it. That’s not a question for science but for us as human beings, and it’s a question we might not be able to answer until the first person is brought back to life after being frozen.”
The service will be offered at a cost of £5000 for 250 years. Which Mr Hall points out “That’s cheaper than some funerals”
Other ways of preserving vital tissue, such as stem cell banking, are now much more commonplace than ever before, and carry far fewer ethical problems. Unlike freezing a head, which is done to bring a dead individual back to life, the work StemProtect.co.uk do is aimed at preserving information about the body which can be used for medical purposes while the person is still alive.
Public surveys show that people are still not completely happy with the idea of having their heads frozen when they die, even if it does become something that’s affordable to them and realistically within their reach.
Johnny 37, from Leeds, said “ Where do I sign up? Freeze me now and bring me back in a few hundred years please, I take it my bar tab will be cancelled?”
Mr Hibbert, from Yorkshire, said “ Anything to get away from the wife”
Stephen, 45, from Bedford, said: “I don’t even like to think about it. Who would want to be, or know, someone who had been brought back after they died and had their head frozen? I can’t imagine it’s a smooth ride, put it that way.”
And Mary, 75, from Oxford, said: “As a Christian, I don’t think it’s right at all. Once you die, you die, and I’m not scared of that. I’d be more scared of coming back afterwards away from peace and back here where there’s not as much peace.”
What are your thoughts?

I’m Cameron Fous. Just a regular guy that got started trading stocks at a young age. I grew up a skater kid. When in college, I spent most of my time partying and trading stocks.
I had a true passion for trading. However, I got started without knowing what I was doing. I failed miserably for 3 years! I mean, I lost everything.
But I learned from my mistakes, talked to pros, and developed a unique strategy. Most importantly, I didn’t quit my pursuit of my dream to becoming a professional day trader.
That was 13 years ago. Now, I trade a refined and tested system that identifies only the best stocks to trade everyday.
It’s called the Fous4 Trading System.
Every stock I trade, must have a great risk to reward. I don’t care if the market is up or down. My strategy works in all market environments.
My goal is to make $1-3k every day. And my work day is only 90 minutes long. How’s that for freedom?
Don’t get me wrong. The stock market can be risky, but once you learn to manage risk properly you can be successful.
Some days, even with my strategies, I don’t reach my goal. But I’ve had $5k days. $9k days. Even a $15k day!
I should have been making this kind of money from the start…but because I got started wrong, I lost money my first 3 years.
You don’t have to go through what I went through. You can learn from my success as well as my mistakes. This will accelerate your learning process.

Details on UGA CO-DC Glenn Schumann's contract extension that includes two more raises
Schumann is now under contract through June 30, 2025 which takes him through the next three seasons.
Schumann will be paid $805,000 a year and that will increase to $855,000 on July 1, 2023 and $905,000 on July 1, 2024, according to information obtained Wednesday in an open records request by the Athens Banner-Herald.
Previously reported:Update on Georgia RB Kenny McIntosh's case following April crash in Athens
Will Muschamp, Georgia’s other co-defensive coordinator, also had his total compensation increase in February. He will also be paid $805,000 this season.
Schumann, 32, also coaches Georgia’s inside linebackers. He was hired on coach Kirby Smart’s first Georgia staff, coming with him from Alabama. Schumann will be entering his seventh season with the Bulldogs.
Georgia has not released any information on a contract extension for offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who received a $750,000 raise that took effect on Jan. 15.
Monken will be paid $2.005 million this year, making him one of the nation’s highest paid assistant coaches. He was to be entering the final year of a three-year contract.
Schumann’s salary increase was effective Feb. 1, according to a contract amendment. That amendment was signed by Schumann on Feb. 26 and finalized on March 7 when UGA president Jere Morehead signed it.

“We are ready to start immediately the process of delimitation of our borders. And, of course, after that process is ended-demarcation. We also express willingness to start to work together with Armenia on the future peace agreement. All these initiatives have been articulated on many times by me and by other Azerbaijani officials, but unfortunately, have not been yet positively responded by Armenian side. So our position is unchanged and there are certain steps, but I think during this year we could have made much bigger progress,” said President Ilham Aliyev in his interview with Spanish EFE news agency.
“As I said you last time we are ready and actually the talks and the contacts have started. There is a format of cooperation on the level of deputy prime ministers of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia. This format is dedicated to the issues related to the opening of communications,” the Azerbaijan President mentioned.
“Also, recently on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan met. That was for the first time since the war ended. I think that the meeting as far as I was informed by our minister, was very constructive and promising. Our position remains unchanged, since the war ended. We want to establish normal relations with Armenia based on a mutual recognition of territorial integrity of both countries,” President Ilham Aliyev added.

Some believe bigger is better. You must have more: a bigger house, newer car, more stuff. Can’t afford it? Just put it on your credit card. This has become a societal mantra. However, there seems to be a shift in the wind. Millennials are entering the workforce with high levels of student debt, forced to share homes with roommates or even live at home. Older people are finding their retirement won’t sustain their home whether owned or rented. Young families are wanting to own but finding it difficult to get out of the rental rut. Three quarters of Americans (76 percent) live paycheck to paycheck. Homes typically account for half or a third of their paycheck. While that is the national average, people in Flagstaff might argue that the rental rates are a much higher portion here.
When Bigger isn’t Better.
There is an option growing in popularity: the Tiny Home movement. Typically, if you ask someone about a tiny home, they will describe a 65- to 400-square-foot home that may be towed behind a vehicle. HGTV has even capitalized on this with a very popular TV show. Tiny homes have become so much more than that. Tiny homes are not just little homes on wheels.
Benefits of Smaller Homes
People who have downsized from a large home into a tiny house, experience a number of benefits. Not only is their mortgage payment less, but so are all the utilities. They spend less time cleaning and maintaining the home, giving them more time to spend on hobbies and activities. Smaller homes also mean a smaller environmental footprint, which appeals to many people.
Challenges with Financing Tiny Homes
As with many new things, this change does not come without its fears. One of the challenges that people have found with traditional tiny homes is financing. It can be difficult to obtain a loan for a tiny home because banks don’t see them holding value, therefore no collateral. This is causing some people to pay cash or borrow money from friends or family. Secondly, is the question of where to put the tiny home. This doesn’t seem like it should be a problem because, after all, it’s tiny! But, finding a place to park is one of the greatest obstacles. Many municipalities do not allow people to park them for short or longer periods of time. And although some people have chosen the tiny home, it does not mean they want to be nomadic.
On the Horizon: Tiny Home Communities
Some developers are seeing this as an opportunity and building tiny home communities. As with all communities, these can vary widely. Some are merely slabs that resemble a campground. However, as popularity and demand grow, these are also growing as well. Some newer communities are groups of smaller homes in a neighborhood complete with parks and garages. While not the tiny homes on wheels, these are smaller homes usually about 1,000 square feet.
The advantage to some of these newer communities is that the homes are site-built, stick-built homes. You own the home as well as the land, rather than renting a lot. This new format means a bank views these homes the same as any other home, just smaller. This design enables multiple loan types to be obtained, opening home ownership opportunities to those who were previously excluded.
Flagstaff has so many activities that bring residents outside and in nature. These smaller homes, with less space to maintain and lower mortgages, give owners the time and means to fully appreciate and take advantage of their surrounding community. A tiny home can mean a big outdoor life. FBN

Proteins are the engines of life that have the most dynamic and diverse part in the body, such as biochemical catalysis, signal transduction, cellular scaffolding construction, gene regulation and transportation of molecules within cells or organs. My Ph.D. dissertation at UCLA was mainly devoted to exploring new intracellular protein delivery platforms and next-generation protein patterning techniques for both therapeutics and diagnostics. For the “intracellular protein delivery” theme, we have developed a novel delivery platform via single-protein nanocapsules, consisting of a protein core and a thin cellular permeable polymeric shell formed by in situ interfacial polymerization. Degradation of the shell upon entry into the cell with specific protease activity, redox environment or light treatment, leads to release of the active protein cargo in a bio-inspired fashion. For the “protein-patterning” theme, we have invented “magnetic electric lithography”, a new nanolithography method endowed with both high resolution and high throughput for generating heterogeneous nanopatterns over large area. We have also conceived another patterning strategy named “enzyme-assisted photolithography”, which can simultaneously form topographical features and bioconjugation sites into hydrogel based bio-scaffolds. Integrated with microfluidic devices, a high-throughput cellular detection and separation platform has been demonstrated. My postdoctoral training in Prof. Langer’s lab at MIT was focused on engineering synthetic pancreas-like devices for Type 1 diabetes mellitus treatment through the intelligent delivery of insulin. We have explored different approaches to achieve desired release patterns upon fluctuation of glucose levels. I have also collaborated with researchers on the development of nano-vehicles for siRNA delivery as well as smart scaffolds for regenerative medicine. My long-term research goal is to develop protein-based composites, scaffolds and devices for drug delivery and tissue engineering. Specific aims include tailoring theranostic protein carriers/devices for disease treatment and engineering bio-inspired 3D scaffolds/devices to control stem cell fates for regenerative medicine.

Fruit exports to Pakistan from Kandahar cut in half
Exporters claim incurring huge losses as a result of the increase in import duty that comes at a time when the harvest season of grapes, melons, watermelons and other fruits has peaked.
In Afghanistan’s current circumstances, Pakistan is considered the only market for these fruits.
The Fresh Fruit Traders Union head in Kandahar, Haji Nani Agha, told Pajhwok Afghan News Pakistan had increased tax on fruits from Kandahar and as a result, traders suffered huge losses and they had extensively reduced exports to the neighbouring country.
He said previously Pakistan would charge 25000 afghanis per 10 tonnes of fruits, but the tax had been increased to 75,000 afghanis, which the Afghan traders could not afford to pay.
He said the tax had been increased at a time when grapes, melons, watermelons and other fruits in Kandahar were being harvested and Afghan traders had no alternate route and market to shun exporting their goods to Pakistan.
He said many traders had stopped exporting fruits to Pakistan and were selling the harvests inside Afghanistan at low rates.
He said daily 20 trucks loaded with fresh fruits entered Pakistan from Afghanistan compared to 40 trucks before the increase in tax.
He said the trucks carrying fruits to Pakistan belonged to Afghan traders who had signed contracts with Pakistani dealers and had received money and therefore they had no option but to export fruits.
The trader said Pakistan always increased taxes and blocked roads against Afghan trucks at peak seasons in order to weaken Afghanistan’s economy.
He urged the government to find an alternate market for Afghanistan fruits because Pakistan could not be a reliable market.
He said it would be better option if the Afghan government paved the way for exports through Chabahar port in southeast Iran and through Tajikistan.
Another trader, Haji Aziz, said the Pakistani Consulate in Kandahar had assured Afghan traders that there would be no problem in export of fruits to Pakistan this season, but the country increased import duty as soon as the harvest season arrived.
He said Afghan traders used to sign contracts with Pakistani traders ahead of the harvest season and receive money from them in advance.
He said the Afghan traders had no option but to export fruits in compliance with the contracts. He said they could have avoided losses had Pakistan increased import duty before the contracts were signed.
Due to the increased tax, grape orchard owners had no option but to sell their harvests inside Afghanistan or process the grapes into raisins.
Haji Aziz also urged the government to find an alternate transit route and arrange cargo planes for Afghan traders to export their goods to foreign countries.
Currently, 60 to 70 cents were charged on each kilogram of fruits carried in cargo planes abroad but if the government reduced the rent by a half and encouraged private airlines, it would enable traders to export their goods even to the Europe and the United States, the trader said.
Kandahar Chamber of Commerce deputy head Eng. Abdul Baqi Bena confirmed Pakistan had increased import duty on Afghanistan fruits, saying the exports had declined by a 40 percent.
He said they had contracted the Pakistani Consulate in Kandahar and Joint Afghanistan and Pakistan Chamber of Commerce officials in Kabul, but there had been no positive result so far.
He said it would have no benefit even if the issue was resolved because the harvest season would end until practical steps were taken.
He said the increase in tax had prompted many Afghan traders stop export of fruits to Pakistan and suspend contracts with Pakistani traders in this regard.
The trader representative acknowledged Pakistan always created problems for Afghan traders during peak seasons and as a result, they incurred losses each year.
He said the government should protect Afghan traders from cruel Pakistani tactics and should find alternate routes for their exports.
Despite the increase in tax, so far more than 5000 tonnes of grapes had been exported to Pakistan, Bena said.

Toddlers with Autism are capable of learning important life-skills in mainstream classrooms through early intervention practises, a breakthrough research at La Trobe University, Australia has revealed. The research highlighted that educators can effectively integrate and teach autistic children in the mainstream classrooms, alongside their non-autistic peers.
The research was conducted by a team of professionals and researchers from the La Trobe University. For the study, researchers studied 44 children aged between 15 and 32 month for one year. Half of the subjects were placed in specialised classrooms that included autistic children, while the other half were placed in mainstream care.
The specialised playrooms, set up at the Victorian Autism Specific Early Learning and Care Center (ASELCC), included autistic children only, while mainstream playrooms – set up at La Trobe University Community Children’s Centre and Gowrie Victoria – included mostly children without autism.
Both groups were administered under the Group-Early Start Denver Model (G-ESDM) – an intervention developed and evaluated by the Victorian ASELCC team. Each child’s personalised learning goals were targeted within natural routines and activities across the childcare day. Examples of such targeting included staff helping a child develop interest in what peers were doing, helping a child practice communication techniques like asking for food and independence skills waiting for one’s turn and using a spoon.
The researchers said that such specialised intervention could be easily delivered in mainstream childcare. Over the year, researchers found that children’s social interaction, imitation, language and independence skills improved on average, with gains in both settings coming out to be quite similar.
Even children with autism showed remarkable improvements in verbal cognition, imitation, social interaction skills, vocal skills and adaptive behaviours in the mainstream childcare settings.
The study found affordable and accessible local childcare settings as a viable option for capacity-building of autistic children through evidence-based intervention. Autistic children face issues while communicating with others and lack independence skills, something that could be catered through with early intervention practices such as targeting their developmental needs, the researcher opined. The study further recommended a minimum of 15-25 hours per week early-intervention programme for supporting communication and developing independent skills in autistic children. The evidence of the research also highlighted that mainstream settings had no negative impact on the learning of non-autistic children.
One of the researchers, Dr Kristelle Hudry, said the findings asserted autistic pre-schoolers could be taught in mainstream early childhood settings. “We found that the overall quality of the learning and teaching environment in the mainstream playrooms was exceptionally high and graded equally when compared to specialised playrooms.”
The other researcher, Dr Cathy Bent, said it was extremely pertinent for children with disabilities to learn in the regular educational settings with their peers and friends. “This practise can also help to prevent discrimination and negative social perception towards people on the spectrum, as it gives children without a disability the chance to become more accepting of diversity from an early age”.
The research can assist in tackling problems faced by autistic children and their families worldwide and can assist in providing them with quality support care programmes in their local communities, as well as the mainstream childcare settings. According to an estimate 1 out of 59 children suffer from autism spectrum disorder (ASD) across the globe.

- Before the 240Z arrived, the Datsun roadster showed Japan could deliver sports-car thrills.
- This example has the later 2.0-litre engine, with twin SU carburettors and a recent rebuild.
- The auction will run till February 28.
When the Datsun 240Z landed in California for the 1970 model year, many were shocked that Japan could produce a world-class budget-friendly sports car. Those more familiar with Datsun weren’t so surprised: A sporting Datsun had existed in US showrooms for the past five years.
Here, for sale at Bring A Trailer—like that car and driver, part of Hurst Auto—one of the best of breed. This Datsun 2000 Roadster is a zippy little open car that combines the best elements of open British sports cars with a 2.0-liter engine and Japanese build quality. With the auction ending on Tuesday, February 28, the bid is currently at $11,500.
car and driverDatsun 2000 roadster tagged as future collectible
Back in 2010. Known in Datsun cognoscenti circles as the SRL311, the 2000 roadster was driven by Bob Sharp and John Morton, and it scored consecutive class wins in SCCA racing. It was the cheapest sports car in its division, but it still outperformed everything else.
Overseas, the SRL311 was known as the Fairlady, as was true for the 240Z. The Fairlady nameplate can trace its heritage back to the 1950s with the advent of the second generation of cars in America in the 1950s. These cars are cute and cheerful but quite terrifying to drive. They were based on a Datsun pickup truck, and they feel like it.
The later 1600 Roadster and the 2000 Roadster that followed are completely different machines. Nissan (Datsun’s parent company) switched to a sedan-based design, with an independent front suspension and a well-tuned leaf-spring setup at the rear. The engine was at first a 1.6-liter OHV four-cylinder, which later received five main bearings for increased durability. Later 2000 Roadsters, like this example, saw a displacement bump to 2.0 litres, got a five-speed manual gearbox, and could be ordered with a Competition Package with dual carburetors. Power was rated at 150 hp SAE gross, which was very lively for the 1960s, especially in a car that weighed over 2000 pounds.
Along with several podium finishes, the roadster is also involved in a little-known David vs. Goliath rivalry. When Toyota brought the legendary 2000GT into SCCA racing, the cars were to go to Peter Brock’s BRE Racing team. At the last minute, Carroll Shelby flew to Japan and charmed Toyota executives into giving him the contract instead.
Brock made a name for himself in Japan by getting a car called the Hino Contessa to perform in and win a few races. Hino was snapped up by Toyota in the 1960s and switched to truck production only—namely, the Hilux. But the president of Hino was still on good terms with Brock, and it happened that he went to school with the then president of Nissan. Brock couldn’t get Datsun USA to part with some of the roadsters; Instead, Brock came straight from Japan.
What followed was a game of cat-and-mouse that would see Brock race out of California where Shelby’s 2000GT team was hoping for an easy win or two. Roadsters operated in a different class, but it was easy enough for the 2000 GT to catch up and let competitors Porsche and Triumph slip by. In the end, the 2000GT team lost the championship, and Toyota came home embarrassed.
Even without the funny footnotes from early Japanese SCCA history, the 2000 roadster is an amazing driver. The 240Z and 510 are better known, but you can’t beat an open car for outright involvement. This example has been set up as a driver’s car, with a tuned suspension, Dunlop Dyrezza performance tires, and a host of recent engine work. The stickers that once covered the bottom of the trunk spend a lifetime participating in various California rallies and generally having a lot of fun. Now it’s time for the next owner to add his own.

Talk about Warfactory 2008:
Several attendees had much to say about our event. Here are a few comments …
“Chance” Lacina of Team EG – I just want to quickly thank everyone who made WarFactory possible for running such a fun event. Thanks a lot to BenQ for the slick monitors and cash they gave away for the Quake tournament! Thanks to Dave Derington, Chris Moncivalles, and Joe “nineX” Szymkowicz. Without them it wouldn’t have been much of a tournament.
Also thanks as always to our EG sponsors Intel, Extreme GameFaces for helping us grow the e-Sports scene and Razer for their awesome new mouse the “Salmosa“.
Shane “Rapha” Hendrixson of Sk Gaming – I’d like to thank Warfactory for running a successful Quake 3 tournament. Even though it was small compared to most LAN tournaments I’ve been to, Warfactory ran it as if they had everything the big tourney organizations have had. Everything was done on time and on schedule and they did their best to make sure the players had everything taken care of. If they get the proper backing by sponsors, they have the potential to run some great tournaments that people will look forward to playing in year after year. Again thanks for running the tournament and keep up the great work.
Jarod Reisin, President of the AGP Tour – On behalf of the AGP and the community, I’d like to thank the staff of Warfactory and those that made the Quake 3 tournament take place especially Dave Derington and Chris Moncivalles. I’d like to thank BenQ and Dust Off for supporting the event. Such support turns a small LAN into a serious tournament and we all appreciate your support. I’d like to thank Chance and Shane for attending the event and staying supportive of Quake tournaments no matter how small. I’d also like to thank Sk.Gaming and Team EG, and their supporting sponsors, for sending their players to the event. No matter how small a tournament is, having one in a professional atmosphere with decent prizes proves the fact that this sport will never die. Long live FPS 1v1!

The website of Every Mind Matters, a mental health website ran into a surge on Monday evening, with some relating it to a crash because of increased traffic. This is a consequence of the three-minute-long film which was played with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex voicing it. This is part of a Public Health England and NHS effort to help people care for their own mental health and that of their friends.
The website was down minutes after the broadcast of the ad. A spokeswoman from PHE was quoted saying that high traffic caused this breakdown. She said that technicians were working on the problem which was resolved soon.
The film comes four months after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as well as Sussex, have both launched a text messaging service for those who suffer from mental health crises through Royal foundations.
Written by Richard Curtis, directed by Rankin, and Voiced by Royalty, the film begins with Prince William saying: “Everyone knows that feeling when life gets on top of us. All over the country, millions of us face challenges to our mental health – at all ages – at all intensities, and for all sorts of reasons. We feel stressed, low, anxious, or have trouble sleeping. Me, you…”
Prince Harry then continues: “Your brother, your mother, your colleague, or your neighbor. Waiting, wondering, hoping, and hurting. We think there’s nothing to be done. Nothing we can do about it.”
Then Duchess Meghan pipes in with “But that’s so wrong. There are things we can do. From today, there’s a new way to help turn things around. Every Mind Matters will show you simple ways to look after your mental health.” And Duchess Kate finishes with “It’ll get you started with a free online plan designed to help you deal with stress, boost your mood, improve your sleep and feel more in control.”
The film also mentions that the Royals are joining hands with other public figures who have been affected by poor mental health. This list includes some famous names such as Gillian Anderson and Glenn Close, rapper Professor Green, Andrew Flintoff, the former cricketer, and TV figures such as Davina McCall and Nadiya Hussain.

SEC and New York State adviser reach $30 million settlement over fee disclosure issues
Posted onAuthorJoshua R. ArnoldComments Off on SEC and New York State adviser reach $30 million settlement over fee disclosure issues
By Al Barbarino (March 3, 2022, 11:56 a.m. EST) – The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced Thursday that it has reached an agreement worth more than $30 million with New York-based City National Rochdale, LLC. York, resolving allegations that the investment adviser defrauded clients by failing to disclose conflicts of interest related to fees he earned on proprietary mutual funds.
Between at least 2016 and 2019, the advisor failed to advise clients that he was investing their assets in proprietary mutual funds to generate fees for the firm and its affiliates, when competing funds may have lower fees, the SEC said.
“CNR’s failures to disclose its conflicts of interest…

Six weeks ago, the UK general election (which takes place today), was shaping up to be a Tory landslide, but the polls have tightened as Jeremy Corbyn has run the Labour Party's most left-wing campaign in over 40 years. --PG
by Phil Gasper
June 6, 2017
Can the British Labour Party pull off an astounding come-from-behind victory in the UK general election this Thursday?
The odds still favor Theresa May’s Conservatives (known as the Tories), emerging as the biggest party. But on April 18, when May called the surprise election, her party was over 20 points ahead in the polls, and looked to be heading towards a landslide win.
Instead, Labour’s left-wing leader Jeremy Corbyn has led a spirited campaign that has steadily closed the gap, with one recent poll showing Labour now just one percent behind the Tories.
The recent terror attacks in Manchester and London have also added to Corbyn’s momentum. He has expressed sympathy with the victims while also criticizing Britain’s support for the “war on terror” and military intervention in the Middle East, which he argues has only led to more terrorist attacks.
There were howls of outrage from Britain’s mainly right-wing newspapers in response to the speech Corbyn gave after the Manchester bombing, but a survey soon revealed that a majority of the British public agrees with him, and Labour continued to rise in the polls.
Corbyn was elected party leader in 2015, after Labour’s defeat in the last general election. To the shock of the party establishment, he won the overwhelming backing of rank-and-file members, tired of Labour’s drift to the right over several decades.
Since then, Corbyn has been derided as “unelectable” by the media, while most Labour MPs, who are well to his right, have tried to undermine him. Following the unexpected vote in favor of Brexit in last year’s referendum, Corbyn’s internal opponents attempted to replace him, but instead he won a second overwhelming leadership victory.
The party infighting has helped to keep Labour well behind in the polls for the past two years, and May’s decision to call an election three years early—supposedly to give her greater authority in negotiating Britain’s exit from the European Union—at first seemed like a brilliant tactical choice.
But brimming with overconfidence, May has run a terrible campaign. Her party’s manifesto, with calls for greater austerity, has managed to alienate a good portion of the Tories’ usual supporters. A proposed policy of making people sell off most of their assets to pay for social care was immediately dubbed the “dementia tax,” and the Conservatives had to water it down in the face of massive opposition.
May has also attempted to treat the election as a coronation, turning down most interviews, making only staged public appearances, and even refusing to participate in a televised debate between party leaders, sending one of her surrogates instead. The result is that her personal popularity has dropped sharply since the campaign began.
Meanwhile, Corbyn has barnstormed across the country, drawing huge crowds at his rallies, attracted by his plainspoken rejection of the neoliberal orthodoxy.
To the astonishment of the media and political establishment, Labour’s call for higher taxes on the wealthy to pay for improvements to the National Health Service, increased social spending, and the abolition of student fees, has struck a chord with millions of people, particularly the young. Corbyn is currently supported by nearly 60 percent of voters under thirty.
There are obvious similarities with Bernie Sanders’s presidential run in the United States last year, but Corbyn’s program is even further to the left. He calls for the re-nationalization of the railways and utilities under democratic control, and as a longstanding anti-war campaigner, he advocates radical changes in Britain’s foreign policy.
The outcome of the election is still unclear, but it is looking more and more likely that the Tories will lose seats and may even lose their majority entirely.
At this point, everything depends on turnout. Two million new voters registered in the last few weeks, many of them young Corbyn supporters. No one knows if they will actually come to the polls on Thursday, but if they do, the UK could be about to experience the most remarkable election turnaround in its recent history.

Poem by Edward Bulwer-Lytton
As grains of gold that in the sands Of Lydian waters shine, The welcome sign of mountain lands That veil the silent mine; Thus may the river of my thought, That glideth now to thee, Reveal the wealth as yet unwrought, Which Love has heap'd in me! So strove I to enrich the scroll To thy dear hands consign'd; I thought to leave the lavish soul No golden wish behind! Ah, fool! to think an hour could drain What life can scarce explore-- Enough, if guided by the grain, Thy heart should seek the ore!

The total market value of companies quoted on the NASD Plc, an over-the-counter (OTC) market, has risen to N653 billion, according to latest market valuation of the stocks.
The NASD OTC was launched on July 1 and opened for trading the following day. Formerly known as the National Association of Securities Dealers, NASD OTC is registered with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an over-the-counter (OTC) trading platform for unquoted securities; including equities and bonds.
According to the opening values for the OTC market this week, the total value of the 19 companies on the market stands at about N653 billion.
Major companies on the NASD included Dufil Prima Foods Plc, the manufacturer of Indomie Noodles; Friesland Campina Wamco Nigeria Plc, manufacturer of Peak Milk brand; Industrial & General Insurance Plc, Central Securities Clearing System Plc, the clearing and depository arm of the Nigerian Stock Exchange and Jaiz Bank Plc, the Islamic bank.
Other stocks included Acorn Petroleum Plc, Arm Life Plc, Afriland Properties Plc, BGL Plc, Consolidated Breweries Plc, Food Concepts Plc, Geo-Fluids Plc, Golden Capital Plc, Niger Delta Exploration & Production Plc, Partnership Investment Company Plc, Resourcery Plc, Riggs Ventures West Africa Plc, Swap Technologies & Telecomms Plc and Trustbond Mortgage Bank Plc.
Three months after it hit the N1 billion mark total values of trades last September, NASD last week announced that it has recorded more than N2 billion trades value.
According to NASD, the mark is a cumulative effect of and increasing preference investors have for transparency and Participating Institutions recognition of the liquidity the market affords.
“This number is significant because it represents deals that hitherto would not have been captured by Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), tax authorities, economic planners and analysts. The NASD OTC market is therefore creating an opportunity for both institutional and individual investors to accept and use the same data and get a clearer perspective of our investment terrain,” the NASD stated.
NASD said it recognised the indispensable contributions of participating institutions, registrars, custodians and all other operators who have started the development of this market noting that while some operators contributed directly by trading through the system, others have been invaluable in testing, fine tuning and advertising the market.
“We appreciate all players in the OTC market and look forward to more liquidity and transparency in the OTC market in Nigeria,” NASD stated
Earlier, NASD Plc and CSCS had devised an alternative dematerialisation system that allows investors to deposit their physical share certificates with the CSCS in exchange for a tradable digital account.
Dematerialisation is the conversion of a physical certificate into a digital account balance at the CSCS, much like the conversion of a physical cash note to a bank account balance.

In 2012, Congress authorized RAD which allows PHAs and owners of other properties financed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to convert units from their original sources of HUD financing to project-based Section 8 contracts.
BGC Advantage was founded about a year after Congress authorized the RAD program to test a new way of meeting the large and growing capital improvement needs of the nation’s aging public housing stock and preserve projects funded under HUD’s legacy programs.
“We created BGC Advantage to focus on RAD and public housing developments,” said Holly Knight, a public housing veteran who joined the Auburn, Ala.-based BGC (formerly The Bennett Group Consulting) as VP of development in 2013 and then created BGC Advantage, of which she is CEO and principal.
RAD doesn’t provide any additional funding to PHAs, she explained recently.
Instead, the program allows properties to convert their assistance to long-term, project-based Section 8 contracts that allow PHAs and owners to leverage private debt and equity capital to preserve rental units for low-income residents.
Affordable housing stock down
According to a 2017 report by Freddie Mac, the number of apartments deemed affordable for very low-income families across the United States fell by more than 60 percent between 2010 and 2016.
There also is a national backlog of around $26 billion in deferred maintenance for public housing units across the country and RAD offers a way to upgrade them with private sector help as appropriations for public housing have become more and more difficult to get through the federal budget process.
The public housing authorities that are currently wrestling with that lack of funding and searching for alternatives make up the lion’s share of BGC Advantage’s client base, frequently gleaned through the requests for proposals from housing authorities looking for a project developer or a RAD consultant to help them through the complexities of that program.
“Sometimes they’re looking for both—somebody who is a RAD consultant and has experience as a developer. While we can do both, sometimes we partner with other developers to help them work with the housing authority to get through the RAD process,” Knight said.
And, sometimes a developer is looking for someone to attend all the meetings about a RAD deal and explain the process to the city council or housing authority.
Unless housing authorities have been doing mixed finance for years, they’re likely not experienced in leveraging tax credits and navigating their restrictions. BGC Advantage guides them through the application process for 4 percent and 9 percent low-income housing tax credits to both fund development of additional affordable housing and meet their capital needs, which are growing exponentially as the nation’s supply of affordable housing declines.
“Fundamentally, my organization really does believe in not just improving the affordable housing stock, but also expanding it,” said Knight.
Housing authorities often want to add affordable housing to their communities and BGC Advantage assists them with new development and the purchase of former Section 8 rental communities and expiring tax credit and Rural Development projects that have reached the end of their 15-year compliance period, she said.
“We do it all. We’ll help them from soup to nuts. We help with training and sometimes we’re their developers, but, with the majority of them, we act as master developer and RAD consultant. We’re the development partner for the housing authority,” Knight said.
BGC Advantage finds third-party builders for new affordable housing units and provides initial third-party management through companies like Standard Enterprises and Allied/Orion, which have experience working with public housing, HUD and Rural Development projects and low-income housing tax credit deals and work with housing authorities and their staffs, providing them with mixed financing and tax credit training.
“We use a gamut of different investors, working with those who have had RAD experience. Redstone Investments, Inc., CREA LLC, and Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. (formerly The Enterprise Foundation), have a good deal of history working with housing authorities and RAD. Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) actually has a proprietary fund that specializes in public housing authority deals and they have a partnership with Housing Authority Insurance Group, so we’ve done a deal with RBC,” she said.
For example, the Leesville Housing Authority took advantage of the RAD program with the help of Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. in the 2017 renovation of 194 units of the Twin Lakes public housing in Leesville, La.
In addition to Enterprise Community Partners and BGC, partners in the $22 million project included HUD, the Louisiana Housing Corp., the Louisiana Bond Commission, Chase Bank and Bellwether Enterprise, which provided a Rural Development 538 loan for the permanent debt.
BGC coordinated the myriad details of the project and acted as co-general partner in the deal through which the units were converted to the federal Section 8 program with long-term contracts, allowing access to private markets, including about $11 million in tax credits for the capital improvements.
In one of its larger deals, BGC Advantage is leading a project that will restore and transfer 365 units of public housing in Hot Springs, Ark., to privately owned, rent-controlled Section 8 units.
The $57 million deal closed at the end of December, with RBC providing more than $17 million in equity through low-income housing tax credits marketed on behalf of BGC Advantage, which has worked with more than 30 different housing authorities, frequently on multiple projects, since its founding.
For example, Knight said, her company currently is working on three projects with the Bogalusa, La., housing authority, four or five projects in Alexandria, La., six projects in Springfield, Mo., and four or five projects in North Little Rock, Ark.
“When a housing authority has a large portfolio and you’re converting their entire portfolio, it’s multiple projects, and those are done over time, systematically, and you’re looking at three to five years to work through them,” said Knight.
In the past four years, BGC Advantage has helped housing authorities leverage $600 million in total development costs, she said.

June 25, 2004 -- Late last week, Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman announced the appointment of 20 members to serve on the National Wildlife Services Advisory Committee (NWSAC). Committee members are appointed to serve two-year terms and can serve up to three consecutive terms. Eleven new members were appointed with nine re-appointments being announced.
NWSAC members advise the agriculture secretary on USDA?s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services? (APHIS) Wildlife Services program activities and policies. APHIS is responsible for managing wildlife conflicts, preventing wildlife damage to agriculture and protecting communities from wildlife threats.
Last September, the American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) made recommendations to appoint or re-appoint members to this advisory committee.
ASI recommended or supported the following four producers from across the country who have been given the opportunity to serve on this committee. They are: Nina Baucus, a Montana rancher; Dr. Maurice Shelton, a Texas rancher and Texas A&M educator; Patti Strand, current president of the National Animal Interest Alliance from Oregon; and Joseph Harper, a West Virginia sheep producer.
?ASI is proud to recommend and support these committee members who will be working with the Wildlife Services Agency -- one of the most crucial programs in the federal government for sheep producers,? said ASI President Guy Flora. ?I would also like to commend the services of Rochelle Oxarango of Idaho, Deloyd Satterthwaite of Nevada and John Baucus of Montana for representing ASI as members on this committee during the last term.?

Motorists are needlessly leaving £3.9 billion worth of gadgets in their cars, making them easy pickings for opportunistic thieves according to new research from car insurance company, Zurich.
A recent study by Zurich has revealed that an incredible 85 percent of British drivers admit to leaving their belongings in their cars with the average value of contents left being around £145.
And while one in five drivers have valuables worth more than £200, and one in 20 more than £500, some are risking valuables worth more than £2,000 being pilfered.
Incredibly, two fifths of motorists who leave possessions in their vehicle have no idea about the full value of their car’s contents. Yet the research has discovered that more than one in 10 motorists who neglect to take their possessions with them have been the victim of theft in the last five years, with the car stereo taking the top spot for being the most commonly stolen item.
This is followed closely by CD collections (44 per cent), Sat Nav systems (seven per cent) and a forgetful one in 20 drivers even leaves their house keys and mobile phone in their car.
To make matters worse, UK motorists are not taking adequate precautions to ensure their vehicle is secure and one fifth of drivers who leave possessions in their car (18 per cent) have no security measures in place, such as a car alarm, lockable glove compartment or safety box.
Roy Seeds, head of motor underwriting at Zurich Insurance comments: “It’s now common for our cars to be filled with our possessions – not just in-car entertainment and driving gadgets, but even clothes and designer accessories. Yet harried, time-poor drivers often fail to realise just how valuable the possessions they leave in their cars are and are not taking the right precautions.
“We would urge people, wherever possible, not to leave valuables in their cars and, if they have no other option, ensure they are locked in the boot. Drivers should also check the terms of their insurance policy and make sure they understand what their cover offers them.”

Our current life situation is largely a result of what we believe. When we face certain inconvenient truths, we can change our lives for the better.
It’s much easier in life to blame your spouse, boss, society, the government, big business, neighbors and so on for your current situation. The most inconvenient yet powerful truth about life is that you have created your reality and you are the only one who can change it. This is actually totally empowering.
Read through the following 7 inconvenient truths to see which one has the power to change your life.
1. What you believe becomes your reality
This may sound like woo-woo. But one of the most powerful of all the inconvenient and neglected truths is that what you believe really does create your reality. What you believe affects what you think, feel, say, and do. Where you are today is a result of your past thoughts, words, and actions.
Any negative beliefs will end up causing negative situations. If you believe no one will ever love you, your actions, such as avoiding getting close to people, closing up and putting up barriers against the world will result in no one one loving you. You will then experience your belief as a reality.
2. The Universe owes you nothing
We often believe that we deserve to be rewarded for our efforts. We believe that we are owed certain things in our lives. This sense of entitlement gets in the way of achieving all that we desire.
The inconvenient truth is that the universe owes us nothing. It is also true that it is not out to get you. The universe treats everyone the same. Like the sun, which doesn’t shine more on good people than bad people. The universe is happy for all to share in its abundance.
When we feel entitled or resentful, we block our ability to create good things in our lives.
3. Other people don’t see things the way you do
We would like people to see things the same way we do. We would like everyone to share our values and beliefs and behave in ways that we consider fair, polite and appropriate.
Unfortunately, our view is not the ultimate truth that everyone else should follow. Other people have different ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.
When we accept this and stop trying to bend others to our will, relationships of all kinds will run more smoothly. The inconvenient truth is that we are arrogant if we think that our way is the only right way.
4. You are responsible for your own happiness
When we decide we can’t be happy unless everything goes the way we want, we condemn ourselves to misery. No one is making you unhappy but you.
You can choose to think about what you want, walk away from anyone that you want and take whatever action you want. No one controls you but you.
We may blame other people, circumstances, society or even the weather when we are having a bad day. However, the truth is that only you get in the way of your own happiness.
5. Only you can change your life
We like to think that outside circumstances need to change in order for our lives to change. It will never happen this way because we create our own reality.
You may complain that you don’t have the money to start a business, or you aren’t good looking enough to find a partner. This is rubbish. If someone handed you a big pot of money to start a business today, what would you do? Is it all reliant or money or is there some action that isn’t? If there is an action that doesn’t rely on money, take it. Then you will change your life.
If you think you are too unattractive to find a mate, consider what you would do if you were more attractive. Would it make you confident enough to join a club, go out with your workmates, join a dating website? So take the action anyway. It’s not your appearance that is blocking you – it is your fear.
6. You always have a choice about how to react
Okay, so your circumstance might really suck at the moment. Perhaps you are in debt, or have suffered a loss, or are sick. You can’t always change your circumstances. However, you can always change the way you think, feel and act.
People who have suffered unimaginable losses, traumas and life-changing accidents still manage to be happy and successful. What’s different about them? Their attitude.
Feeling sorry for yourself and dwelling on the past won’t change a thing.
7. Now is the only moment you have
If you want to change your life, you have to understand that the only moment you have is this one, right now. Dwelling on the past and feeling depressed about it won’t change a thing. Worrying about the future won’t change a thing either. You have this moment only to make a change in your life. Do something different with this moment.
These truths may seem harsh. But they can change your perception of everything. They can change your life from ho-hum to amazeballs. I’m not saying it’s easy. I certainly don’t manage to achieve this level of clarity even half the time. But it’s worth trying to remember these inconvenient truths, as they hold the key to changing your life for the better.

While you make many valid points , I disagree with your assessment of the Universe .
Your assertion is ” The universe treats everyone the same ” …. really ???
Like those that live in third world countries , how does the universe provide for them ???
Through ” Charity ” ??? …. then that’s not the Universe , that’s human kindness & compassion.
How do you expect individuals who’s entire families have been burdened with death , destruction
and misery to choose happiness …. are you implying they chose suffering instead , really???
Do you expect them to take action by just packing up and moving to a more prosperous country ,
especially if they’re banned from entering them , or not welcome at all .
If I’m to comprehend that a person is what they believe , why would they create the reality of famine ,
poverty , disease and despair ???
I agree that the right attitude will provide far greater opportunities than ” bitterness & resentment ” .
However , if oppression & subjugation are predisposed in the individuals DNA , passed down from generation
to generation , I feel that the cycle is almost next to impossible to correct or break …. no matter how friggen
determined you might be .
I have often wondered how so many people , with minimal decency or character ascend to positions of great power .
They indoctrinate elements of draconian punishment , in order to maintain compliance . Should you elect to disobey , consequences will be swift .
How can you not blame governments & society for permitting such atrocities to take place , because the reality is ,
” LIFE is NOT Fair ” and regardless of how positive or happy you remain .
So , when you say the Universe doesn’t owe you a thing …. I fuck’n beg to differ !!!
I did not choose to be born into a family of manic depressives with their many associated dysfunctions , yet I inherited them . I will maintain that , I did not create this situation as you would suggest …. it was thrust upon me .
I think your comment is more convncible then the Artical
You also make some very valid points. Life certainly isn’t fair, though I think this is often due to humans inhumanity to other humans. But of course, no-one asks to have bad things happen to them and in the case of mental illness, it isn’t a person’s fault that they and their families suffer. Life can be extraordinarily harsh and I don’t believe that people cause the tragedies that sometimes happen to them.
I thought carefully about the words I wrote in this article because I was aware that they can seem harsh. My intention was not to hurt anyone but to offer a different way of thinking that might help people break free from a painful past. I hoped that my words might be empowering to those who are in difficult circumstances. However, I am sincerely sorry if my words have caused anyone pain.
Anyone who has or is experiencing hard times for whatever reason that can manage to sincerely and custructively comment to help build a better world…has learned.
Must agree with every word Barry states….twould be really nice if we each really did have the control the article awards us, sadly Barry hits the nail on the head

Astronaut Luca Parmitano is orbiting on the International Space Station. On his spacewalk today he shot a photo and tweeted "This sure beats any 'selfie' I’ve done up to now."
And history is made.
Over the past year, we've been keeping tabs on Elon Musk's SpaceX Grasshopper rocket, which can take off and land vertically. The craft has now made its most impressive (and visually stunning) leap yet.
Watch the rocket's latest test, AFTER THE JUMP...
On June 14, SpaceX's Grasshopper flew 325 m (1066 feet)--higher than Manhattan's Chrysler Building--before smoothly landing back on the pad. For the first time in this test, Grasshopper made use of its full navigation sensor suite with the F9-R closed loop control flight algorithms to accomplish a precision landing. Most rockets are equipped with sensors to determine position, but these sensors are generally not accurate enough to accomplish the type of precision landing necessary with Grasshopper.
Previous Grasshopper tests relied on the other rocket sensors but for this test, an additional, higher accuracy sensor was in the control loop. In other words, SpaceX was directly controlling the vehicle based on new sensor readings, adding a new level of accuracy in sensing the distance between Grasshopper and the ground, enabling a more precise landing.
Grasshopper is a 10-story Vertical Takeoff Vertical Landing (VTVL) vehicle designed to test the technologies needed to return a rocket back to Earth intact.

Astronauts aboard the ISS took some incredible shots of Alaska's Pavlof volcano, which began erupting on May 13, 2013, and has been disrupting air travel up near the Aleutian arc where it is situated, approximately 625 miles south of Anchorage.
When photograph ISS036-E-2105 (top) was taken, the space station was about 475 miles south-southeast of the volcano (49.1° North latitude, 157.4° West longitude). The volcanic plume extended southeastward over the North Pacific Ocean.

Sally Ride, the first female astronaut in space who came out in July 2012 in her obituary, will be awarded a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom, the White House announced today.
"Dr. Ride’s partner, mother, and sister were notified last week of the President’s decision to award her with the Nation’s highest civilian honor for her contributions to the U.S. space program and education system. The remainder of the honorees selected by the President will be announced over the coming weeks and the awards will be presented at a White House ceremony later this year," said the White house in a press release.
Said President Obama of the honor:
“We remember Sally Ride not just as a national hero, but as a role model to generations of young women. Sally inspired us to reach for the stars, and she advocated for a greater focus on the science, technology, engineering and math that would help us get there. Sally showed us that there are no limits to what we can achieve, and I look forward to welcoming her family to the White House as we celebrate her life and legacy.”

Living the dream - Britain’s 50 best places to live revealed – does your hometown make the list?
EAST Hertfordshire has been crowned as the best place to live in Britain, according to a quality of life survey.
Boasting an array of popular market towns, such as Bishop's Stortford and Hertford, East Hertfordshire scooped the top spot after scoring well on several factors.
Its recognition was also due to strong exam results, high life expectancy, excellent health and happiness scores, and high average earnings.
It was followed by Fareham, Hart and Horsham — all in the South — in the annual Halifax Quality of Life survey.
The South East and the East of England both feature four times within the top 10, while the North also makes the line-up due to Selby and Hambleton, which are ranked sixth and seventh respectively.
Russell Galley, who led the survey, explained that East Hertfordshire was deserving of the top spot after 97% of respondents reported having good or fairly good health.
"With bustling market towns and picturesque countryside, East Hertfordshire has topped the table thanks to high life expectancy, good schools and health and happiness scores, with high average earnings," he affirmed.
"Everyone has different priorities when it comes to choosing a place to live, depending on time of life, and personal circumstances.
"Affordability will always be one of the most important factors, with getting a foot on the property ladder still difficult for some people."

Geographically, the South East of England — the most populous of the nine official regions — is the best part of the UK to live, with 18 spots cementing a place within the top 50.
But just two London areas make the top 100, Richmond upon Thames (placed at 64) and Kensington and Chelsea (79th).
Wales's highest placing is the Vale of Glamorgan at 126th. Scotland's is Orkney at number 18 overall and Northern Ireland's is Lisburn and Castlereagh at 131.
