This lovely church sits majestically by the sea and bears the name of the blessed mother within: Santa Maria a Mare. Dating back to the 1800's this parish has welcomed many families from this small fishing village. Upon entering, if you turn your back to the altar there are plaques on the wall giving ( in Italian) a brief historical timeline from the church's inception to current status as sanctuary.
Modestly decorated this parish maintains a humble status. Buttercup yellow walls cast a soft glow down the isles and around the marble altar where your eyes are drawn to the beautiful statue of Mary. The parish priest, Monsignor Luigi, had her vestments restored to the statue's original colors which were deeper in blue and crimson.
Statues of other saints grace the interior walls.
Children are most welcome and often the Monsignor gathers the little ones around the altar.
Most notable to me were the charismatic voices of the choir chanting, singing and praising.
Occasionally after an 8 am Sunday mass, women from the parish sell artisan goods and donate the proceeds to charity. This small venue is accessed by an entrance directly across from Hotel Sonia by the beach- if you stand in front of the church, go to your left.

Bathhouse with Lido Restaurant and Bar
After nine wonderful and moderately to very busy weeks in twelve settings, I was looking forward to returning to the grand slam of San Marco Castallabate, Santa Maria Castallabate, Castellabate atop and Agropoli as a relaxed return to my past. Here our family had spent nearly two full summer months in ’88 and ’89 when my sons were younger primary school students. To return meant a little nostalgia as well.
I was confident that, although the three Castallabate villages and Agropoli would have changed somewhat, the essential character of each would remain intact. This proved generally true, though the accidental changes to each (and most especially Agropoli), made getting precise bearings alternately tricky, somewhat difficult or impossible in each case.
Some of what was best in each is gone, and much of what is new is lovely in its own way. Np one in the street anywhere roasts chickens over open dry grapevines with chunks of rosemarin under the skin and in the cavity. No trucks arrive in the piazzas on Saturday mornings to fill five liter plastic jugs of wine for the equivilent of E2. Kids don’t tend to walk down the road daily to stop at a bread store, and a cheese/milk shop, and thus accumulate (then 100 lire) coins as pay for their neon lit electric arcade games on Friday nights before pizza. Most of all. there was no GPS, no internet, no cells phones, no disco clubs and little tv.
Yet so much of the three villages and centro Agropoli above (sopra) retain their heart, despite the incursions of modern "convenience". No disrespect intended, but to visit the seaside in the winter and then speak of little to do or whatever less than positively seems a little ironic and curious. I'll leave it at that with such comments I read.
Walking along the beach in any of these three seaside settings when the weather is blustery and challenging or coolingly accommodating can be a great photo op as well as energizing. To have all this shoulder to shoulder in such convenient proximity makes for wonderful week's setting, but please: don't ask too much of the winter if not skiing somewhere, OK?

Gm is nice. They have only one 60 degree bolt pattern. 99.9% of gm front wheel drive vehicles are 60 degree. This includes your fwd caddy v-8's. I know for a fact the buick 3800 series engines are included in this. The only one I can think of that isn't a 60 degree pattern is the old iron 3.8 buick motors used up to about 1985. The problens you might incounter using a manual behind a 3800 would be the pilot bearing, and what flywheel to use. You might be able to get away using the flywheel off the donor vehicle. Good luck, Mike the Getrag F23 has been used with this engine in Cavaliers.
the Getrag F35 might also fit.
the F23 is a 5-speed, the F35 is a 6-speed
the F35 is used in the Pontiac G6, I believe with the 3.9L v-6 (same engine family as the 3800 s/c?)

Lanes of the roads around the Westgate roundabout in Grimsby are being closed for work to be carried out on the site.
The closures will be in place today and Tuesday on the approaches and exits of the A180 roundabout.
The inside lane of the roundabout itself was also closed earlier today causing slow traffic to build up asfar back as Europarc.
The closures are being done to allow highways teams to carry out a topographical survey of the roundabout.
Work began at 9.30am today with the lanes reopening at 3:30pm. Similar closures will happen on Tuesday around the same times to avoid the morning and evening rush hours.
There will be more work later this week. On Wednesday and Thursday, the A180 Pyewipe roundabout will also have lanes of its exits and approaches temporarily closed for surveys.
Motorists stuck in the traffic earlier today have reported that traffic is building up on the Grimsby road in both directions.
Paul Gilbert posted on the Grimsby Live Traffic and Travel group: "Birchin Way roundabout by McDonald's has one lane cordoned off on each entry. Queues almost at Europarc turn off on A180 heading into town."
Topographical surveys are studies of a piece of land to track the features of it and gather information.
The work is being carried out by North East Linconlshire Council's highways team.
Join the Grimsby traffic and travel group
We've created a Grimsby Traffic and Travel Facebook group for the latest information on roads and rail in North East Lincolnshire.
Using our specialist traffic information service, we'll keep you informed whether you travel by car, van, lorry, bus or train. We'll have the first news on any roadworks or road closures as they happen including the A180, M180, A16, A46, A18.
You can also use it to easily share or find information about traffic problems and travel delays with fellow road and rail users.
So come on over and join in today!

Out of all the ambitious goals Gov. Andrew Cuomo set for this year’s state legislative session, reforming education, including creating full-day kindergarten and bar exams for teachers, was the most important – at least according to voters in our weekly libn.com poll.
Just over 24 percent of voters chose education reform as the most important goal. Banning assault weapons finished close behind with 23.5 percent of the vote. Abolishing LIPA, our predicted winner, took third with 20 percent of the vote.
The rest of Cuomo’s planned initiatives, including raising the minimum wage, creating innovation hot spots and a network for tech commercialization, struggled to break double-digit percentages.

Brighton producer Fono has just dropped his ‘Kinetic’ EP via Polydor and we love it!
It follows 2015’s ‘Real Joy’, a tune that was on everyone’s mind that summer, and now ‘Kinetic’ has the same alluring effect, having already caught the attention of Todd Edwards and BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac.
The 5-track EP opens with ‘Cloud 9’ featuring Australian vocalist EAST, which shows off Fono’s melodic style, before breaking into a trademark synthy house drop and it also sees him team up with D/C and Durante.
You can grab tickets to see him alongside Big Narstie and Redlight here and listen to ‘Kinetic’ below.

New tax law reverses which spouse pays taxes on alimony
Arizona couples considering divorce may want to act fast to take advantage of a big tax deduction.
Anybody who is in an unhappy marriage and considering getting divorced may have more of an incentive to do so before 2019 rolls around. That’s because, as USA Today reports, after December 31, 2018 those paying spousal maintenance (also called alimony) will no longer be eligible for deducting those payments on their federal tax returns. The change is thanks to the sweeping tax reform bill, called the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, that was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Trump late last year.
Tax obligations will reverse in 2019
Currently, people who are paying spousal maintenance are able to deduct those payments on their federal taxes while the recipient of those payments must declare them as income for tax purposes. The rationale for this tax arrangement is that it isn’t fair that people who are paying alimony should be forced to pay taxes on money that they don’t actually get to use.
With the new tax law, however, these tax obligations will be reversed. Beginning on January 1, 2019, those paying spousal maintenance will no longer be eligible for a federal tax deduction on those payments. Recipients, meanwhile, will no longer be required to pay taxes on any spousal maintenance they receive.
A bigger burden for both spouses?
While no longer having to pay taxes on spousal maintenance may sound like a “win” for recipients, the opposite could in fact be true. That’s because the current spousal maintenance tax deduction that payers currently take advantage of ultimately benefits recipients. Spousal maintenance payers tend to be in a higher income bracket than recipients, so a tax deduction for payers tends to equal more money than what recipients currently have to pay in taxes on spousal maintenance. The deduction gives payers more flexibility in how much they can pay in maintenance. Without that big tax deduction, payers are likely to be less flexible in negotiations for how much spousal maintenance they are willing to provide an ex-spouse.
The change means that couples who have already decided they want a divorce should move quickly this year in order to take advantage of the tax deduction while it is still around. As AZ Big Media reports, Arizona couples should keep in mind that, when filing for divorce, they will have to complete a 60-day “cooling off” period before they can file their divorce agreement. That means that in order to take advantage of the alimony tax break, it is best to act especially quickly.
Family law help
Divorce isn’t easy, but it can be an opportunity to begin life anew. However, being prepared for post-divorce life means having a divorce agreement in place that will best protect one’s long-term interests. A family law attorney can help those who are going through a divorce negotiate an agreement that will better set them up for success in the years ahead.


NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – It’s a stunning recommendation from a federal traffic safety agency.
The National Transportation Safety Board is calling for a nationwide ban on behind the wheel cell phone use — even with hands-free devices.
“It may seem like it’s a very quick call, a very quick text a tweet or an update, but accidents happen in the blink of an eye,” NTSB Chairwoman Deborah Hersman said. “You can’t take it back. You can’t have a do-over and you can’t rewind.”
The NTSB wants a national ban on talking and texting behind the wheel — even if your car is equipped with a hands-free device. And it has statistics to back up its concerns about the growing distractions for drives of all types of vehicles.
The agency says:
* An estimated 3,000 people died last year in distracted driving crashes
* Drivers using cell phones fail to see up to 50-percent of the information in their driving environment
* A person using a cell phone is four times more likely to have a crash that will result in going to the hospital
Sometimes I feel that it is really dangerous, actually, when I’m talking on the phone and driving, probably a good idea,” said Adriannz Cutler of Armonk.
Although the NTSB’s recommendation is non-binding lawmakers and governors take its findings seriously.
Do you believe that cellphones should be banned entirely or is this another case of Big Brother run amok?


I just started unmounting a Petromax 828/300 that I introduced in the collector's section: Can you help to find model (and date) of this this Petromax ?
I immediately need your help as the pump valve element seems pretty different from the "modern" ones that I unmounted in the past with a screwdriver.
I join a picture, could you help me to find out which tool is better to use? Do you know if the washer and the valve core are the same than in the modern lamps ?
Just to decide if I really want to unmount it or check if it works as it is once the rest repaired.... :-))

Hey!! It’s been a while since I’ve posted something on my site here, and it feels neglected! September has been one of the best(one main reason and some others) and worst(due to one situation) months of my life outside of software creation, but that’s not entirely the reason why I haven’t posted anything in a few months. I’m good overall though and not on the brink of self destruction or anything like that. One of the reasons I haven’t posted in months is because we bought a house a few months ago(yay!) and I’ve been getting settled in and working on some things here and there. Thankfully it was a well done renovation so I haven’t had to fix much. Most of the updates have been personal preference projects and some security measures. Nice neighborhood, but you can’t really be too careful in the world we live in. Anyways, since this site is about my software let’s dive into a quick overview of what’s going on with my software creation.
˙Mobile app! I’m still working on the nutrition app that I’ve been working on & off with this year. I’ve completed the major process of obtaining verified information and organizing it into broad sections. Now I’m in the process of expanding the information and converting it into a educational format. At the rate that I’m working on it now I think I’ll be finished with this aspect of the app by sometime in November. I’ll be working on UI design after finishing that, but I do have the look of it in my mind so hopefully it won’t be too hard to convert. I’ve been working on straying away from my perfectionism mentality that can sometimes hamper me from moving forward effectively. I’m hoping to have the entire app finished and released by the end of this year.
˙Amazon Alexa! On another note I’ve been thinking about Alexa skills again. I joined an Alexa ISP(In-Skill Purchasing) challenge, but it’s not mandatory for me so I can back out without any penalty if I decide not to continue with it. I’ll either be updating one of my current Alexa skills with some additional useful content or creating a new skill with some additional expanded content. Also in regards to Alexa skills, I updated the thumbnail for most of my Alexa skill YouTube videos. I just added some minor additions but they look much better than before. Previously the thumbnails were just of a random moment in the video without any added images or text. I somewhat recently started using an app called Canva which is great for creating promo banners, headers, thumbnails & etc. One of the podcasts I listen to sometimes called “NPR How I Built This” has an episode with the story behind Canva which is really neat, and made me like the app even more. I’ve also been using it for creating some content outside of software, but I may post about later.
˙New project! Also in my mind is my next startup, which is app related, but separate from 8-Bit Avrin Apps aka basically Avrin Ross. I’m really excited to start working on it more but I want to finish the educational nutrition app I’ve been working on first and then also the possible new Alexa skill or update that I mentioned above. I’ll post more about this startup once I’ve got more to show or when I’ve set aside some time to write about it.
Until next time ∞

An attorney for Christine Blasey Ford said Wednesday that the plan to move forward with a hearing about her client’s sexual assault accusation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh “is not a fair or good faith investigation.”
Ford, a California professor, accused Kavanaugh of attempting to sexually assault her nearly 40 years ago at a high school party. Kavanaugh has denied the allegation, calling it “completely false.”
The Senate Judiciary Committee scheduled a public hearing about the accusation for Monday. While Ford’s lawyers said she is willing to testify publicly about the incident, they told the Committee on Tuesday that Ford wants the FBI to investigate the allegation first. But Senate Republicans said the hearing would proceed as planned on Monday.
“She continues to believe that a full non-partisan investigation of this matter is needed and she is willing to cooperate with the Committee,” Ford’s attorney, Lisa Banks, said in a statement Wednesday night. “However, the Committee’s stated plan to move forward with a hearing that has only two witnesses is not a fair or good faith investigation; there are multiple witnesses whose names have appeared publicly and should be included in any proceeding. The rush to a hearing is unnecessary, and contrary to the Committee discovering the truth.”
Republicans have rejected calls for an FBI investigation. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley tweeted Wednesday that “no other OUTSIDE investigation is necessary.”
Earlier on Wednesday, President Trump defended Kavanaugh as an “extraordinary man” and called on Ford to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. “If she shows up, that would be wonderful. If she doesn’t show up, that would be unfortunate,” Trump said.
“But I can only say this: He is such an outstanding man. Very hard for me to imagine that anything happened,” he added.
Banks said Ford has received threats in the days since her name became public.
“Dr. Ford was reluctantly thrust into the public spotlight only two days ago. She is currently unable to go home, and is receiving ongoing threats to her and her family’s safety,” Banks said in Wednesday’s statement. “Fairness and respect for her situation dictate that she should have time to deal with this.”

Puerto Rico is a destination that is in most people’s travel bucket lists.
Especially if you live in the United States, it is not too hard to make this dream a reality.

A group of Kennett High School students have stepped up to the challenge, the 10 Day Film Challenge that is, and two have emerged as high scoring award winners. The high school students in Mr. Frank Vanderslice’s video production class took part in an intense project in which teams of students make a movie — writing, shooting, editing and scoring it, in just 10 school days and only on the school campus.
Over one hundred films were submitted to the contest, and on April 29 the winners were announced during a screening at the United Artists Cinema in Philadelphia. Kennett seniors Lucas Ransick and Hannah Geller received the award for Best Use of Special Effects and their film “Fumigation” placed eighth overall. The film is an action adventure film starring senior classmate P.J. O’Sullivan as the hero with Hannah Geller playing a villain. Lucas Ransick shot and edited the film.
The 10 Day Film Challenge began on March 16 with submissions due on March 27. On the first day, the challenge was given to the students with information about the character, prop, line of dialogue, cinematic technique, and genre that must be included in their movie. Genres were drawn from a hat. This year’s genres were romance, thriller, sci-fi, superhero, fantasy, mystery, mockumentary, slice of life, sports/games, or monster movie.
Mr. Vanderslice said that this year the students were challenged by having to incorporate into their movie: a character named Eric or Erica Ashton who has just won an award, an apple as a prop, and the line of dialogue: “Does it really make a difference?” Then 10 school days later, a three- to four-minute movie was completed along with a movie poster. The best films were shown at a local theater as part of an awards ceremony and may be posted online. The films were judged on everything from acting to production.
This year 34 Kennett High School students submitted 11 films.

Hello!! Today, I have a post that I’m so excited to share with you all! If you didn’t know, for the past few months I’ve been able to be on the street team for How We Fall Apart, by Katie Zhao, which comes out tomorrow. I’ve had weekly tasks to do for it, but because a lot of them have been picture and video based I’ve done a lot on my instagram. I actually suggested last week’s task, which was to do your Sinclair Prep reading list. So, even though it’s a bit late, I’m so excited to share my Sinclair Prep reading list, aka dark academia books on my TBR that I can’t wait to read!!
Sinclair Prep is the elite boarding school that How We Fall Apart is set at! I was able to recently read an advance copy of How We Fall Apart, and loved it. Reading HWFA has made me even more excited to read all of these books. Before I get into the post will be the information on HWFA, and then I’ll get into the books on my TBR!!
I hope you enjoy this post, and you find some books to add to your TBR! And one of the books doesn’t come out for another year, but I’m so excited for it that I had to put it here, and I’ll definitely be reading it when it comes out.
How We Fall Apart, by Katie Zhao
August 17th, 2021
Students at an elite prep school are forced to confront their secrets when their ex-best friend turns up dead.
Nancy Luo is shocked when her former best friend, Jamie Ruan, top ranked junior at Sinclair Prep, goes missing, and then is found dead. Nancy is even more shocked when word starts to spread that she and her friends–Krystal, Akil, and Alexander–are the prime suspects, thanks to “The Proctor,” someone anonymously incriminating them via the school’s social media app.
They all used to be Jamie’s closest friends, and she knew each of their deepest, darkest secrets. Now, somehow The Proctor knows them, too. The four must uncover the true killer before The Proctor exposes more than they can bear and costs them more than they can afford, like Nancy’s full scholarship. Soon, Nancy suspects that her friends may be keeping secrets from her, too.
Now, into the dark academia books I want to read!!
A Lesson in Vengeance, by Victoria Lee
August 3rd, 2021
For fans of Wilder Girls and Ninth House comes a dark, twisty, atmospheric thriller about a boarding school haunted by its history of witchcraft and two girls dangerously close to digging up the past.
Felicity Morrow is back at Dalloway School.
Perched in the Catskill mountains, the centuries-old, ivy-covered campus was home until the tragic death of her girlfriend. Now, after a year away, she’s returned to graduate. She even has her old room in Godwin House, the exclusive dormitory rumored to be haunted by the spirits of five Dalloway students—girls some say were witches. The Dalloway Five all died mysteriously, one after another, right on Godwin grounds.
Witchcraft is woven into Dalloway’s history. The school doesn’t talk about it, but the students do. In secret rooms and shadowy corners, girls convene. And before her girlfriend died, Felicity was drawn to the dark. She’s determined to leave that behind her now; all Felicity wants is to focus on her senior thesis and graduate. But it’s hard when Dalloway’s occult history is everywhere. And when the new girl won’t let her forget.
It’s Ellis Haley’s first year at Dalloway, and she’s already amassed a loyal following. A prodigy novelist at seventeen, Ellis is a so-called “method writer.” She’s eccentric and brilliant, and Felicity can’t shake the pull she feels to her. So when Ellis asks Felicity for help researching the Dalloway Five for her second book, Felicity can’t say no. Given her history with the arcane, Felicity is the perfect resource.
And when history begins to repeat itself, Felicity will have to face the darkness in Dalloway–and in herself.
Ace of Spades, by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé

Welcome to Niveus Private Academy, where money paves the hallways, and the students are never less than perfect. Until now. Because anonymous texter, Aces, is bringing two students’ dark secrets to light.
Talented musician Devon buries himself in rehearsals, but he can’t escape the spotlight when his private photos go public. Head girl Chiamaka isn’t afraid to get what she wants, but soon everyone will know the price she has paid for power.
Someone is out to get them both. Someone who holds all the aces. And they’re planning much more than a high-school game…
Clique Bait, by Ann Valett
April 28th, 2020
Pretty Little Liars meets Burn for Burn in this thrilling debut from Wattpad star Ann Valett.
Chloe Whittaker is out for revenge.
Last year her best friend Monica’s life was unceremoniously ruined by the most popular students at their high school, so this year Chloe plans to take each and every one of them down. She’s traded in her jeans and T-shirts for the latest designer clothes, erased anything on social media that would tie her to Monica (and blow her cover), and carefully figured out how she will befriend the members of the clique, find out their deepest and darkest secrets, and reveal them to the world.
Chloe has the perfect plan . . . but there’s one thing she didn’t prepare for. And that’s falling for someone she’s determined to destroy. The closer she gets to uncovering the secrets the in-crowd is determined to cover up, the more she realizes that she is going to have to choose between betraying her oldest friend or the boy who’s captured her heart
These Violent Delights, by Micah Nemerever
September 20th, 2020
When Paul and Julian meet as university freshmen in early 1970s Pittsburgh, they are immediately drawn to one another. A talented artist, Paul is sensitive and agonizingly insecure, incomprehensible to his working-class family, and desolate with grief over his father’s recent death.
Paul sees the wealthy, effortlessly charming Julian as his sole intellectual equal—an ally against the conventional world he finds so suffocating. He idolizes his friend for his magnetic confidence. But as charismatic as he can choose to be, Julian is also volatile and capriciously cruel. And admiration isn’t the same as trust.
As their friendship spirals into an all-consuming intimacy, Paul is desperate to protect their precarious bond, even as it becomes clear that pressures from the outside world are nothing compared with the brutality they are capable of inflicting on one another. Separation is out of the question. But as their orbit compresses and their grip on one another tightens, they are drawn to an act of irrevocable violence that will force the young men to confront a shattering truth at the core of their relationship.
Exquisitely plotted, unfolding with a propulsive ferocity, These Violent Delights is a novel of escalating dread and an excavation of the unsettling depths of human desire.
The Secret History meets Call Me by Your Name in Micah Nemerever’s compulsively readable debut novel—a feverishly taut Hitchcockian story about two college students, each with his own troubled past, whose escalating obsession with one another leads to an act of unspeakable violence.
These Vengeful Hearts, by Katherine Laurin
September 8th, 2020
Anyone can ask the Red Court for a favor…but every request comes at a cost. And once the deed is done, you’re forever in their debt.
Whenever something scandalous happens at Heller High, the Red Court is the name on everyone’s lips. Its members–the most elite female students in the school–deal out social ruin and favors in equal measure, their true identities a secret known only to their ruthless leader: the Queen of Hearts.
Sixteen-year-old Ember Williams has seen firsthand the damage the Red Court can do. Two years ago, they caused the accident that left her older sister paralyzed. Now, Ember is determined to hold them accountable…by taking the Red Court down from the inside.
But crossing enemy lines will mean crossing moral boundaries, too–ones Ember may never be able to come back from. She always knew taking on the Red Court would come at a price, but will the cost of revenge be more than she’s willing to sacrifice?
Babel, by R. F. Kuang
Traduttore, traditore: An act of translation is always an act of betrayal.
1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation — also known as Babel.
Babel is the world’s center of translation and, more importantly, of silver-working: the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation through enchanted silver bars, to magical effect. Silver-working has made the British Empire unparalleled in power, and Babel’s research in foreign languages serves the Empire’s quest to colonize everything it encounters.
Oxford, the city of dreaming spires, is a fairytale for Robin; a utopia dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. But knowledge serves power, and for Robin, a Chinese boy raised in Britain, serving Babel inevitably means betraying his motherland. As his studies progress Robin finds himself caught between Babel and the shadowy Hermes Society, an organization dedicated to sabotaging the silver-working that supports imperial expansion. When Britain pursues an unjust war with China over silver and opium, Robin must decide: Can powerful institutions be changed from within, or does revolution always require violence? What is he willing to sacrifice to bring Babel down?
Babel — a thematic response to The Secret History and a tonal response to Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell — grapples with student revolutions, colonial resistance, and the use of translation as a tool of empire.

Waleed Alabsi says that Mobile MRI systems come with an imaging system in the van together with all the technology that is necessary for performing the imaging procedures such as climate controls, monitors, and magnetic shielding.
Reasons why mobile MRI units are a good investment in patient care:
- They minimize the time patients have to wait to get an imaging service. These trailers provide easy transport of the equipment enabling wider access to healthcare.
- Aging patients can access MRI imaging without having to travel long distances to hospitals. ThisMobile Unitprovides a viable solution for clinical settings in hard-to-reach areas in rural towns. They provide better communication between healthcare provides which is important when providing the best healthcare to patients. Patients do not need to travel to the hospital to get their results. Their health information can be found in the system.
- The cost of a Mobile MRI Scanner. According to Waleed Alabsi, a mobile MRI costs less than a fixed one. Although the main decision behind purchasing a mobile MRI should not be based on cost but on service delivery to locations that cannot afford to provide these medical services in the fixed hospitals. Mobile MRIs are cheaper considering that they do not require the extra infrastructure that is necessary when setting up a fixed one. A reduction in the cost of the MRI can result in a decrease in the cost of service. This results in cheaper medical access. In addition, the costs and services rendered can be shared among different hospitals. This further decreases the cost to the patient and the insurance companies. A decreased installation and site costs further show its advantages when it comes to patient care
- In ensuring that the best technological healthcare is provided, these trailers offer the opportunity for testing the quality of the imaging done before the system is bought by hospitals or private clinics.
- Waleed Alabsi says that Mobile MRIs provide for easy patient access by healthcare providers. It enables doctors to have better access to patients that are infarreaching towns providing an enhanced patient experience.
- The capital investment needed to buy and set up a mobile MRI is low compared to a fixed MRI. This increases the number of mobile MRIs available improving healthcare access and patient to doctor experience.
- Mobile MRIs come with the additional benefit of upgrading their existing technology without disrupting service provision significantly
- Data by Waleed Alabsi shows that small and medium-sized hospitals may not be able to afford fixed scanners. Mobile MRIs provide a cheaper alternative with providing the same quality of healthcare as a fixed MRI.
- The increase in demand for this technology is further compounded by its ability to offer convenient and flexible services, lower fixed costs to the patient and insurance companies and increase revenue.
- Areas that are deprived of the much-needed medical imaging are now able to access this service through this Mobile Unit. This enables healthcare providers to diagnose and treat conditions that would have otherwise not been possible due to lack of access to this technology.
- A Mobile MRI Scannercan be used to provide backup in cases where the fixed MRI is undergoing maintenance or renovation. It can also help in reducing patient load especially during a crisis that results in mass casualties.
- According to Waleed Alabsi, the control of infections is always a matter of concern within the healthcare industry. Even more so with the emergence of COVID-19. Through the mobile MRI, the imaging of patients can be done at their bedside helping in the elimination of the spread of contagions that could occur during patient transportation.


Title chasers Ossett Town host Evo-Stik First Division North new boys Colne FC on Saturday looking to kick-start their campaign.
The Reds have failed to win in their last three outings in all competitions but remain in second place just three points behind leaders Lancaster City.
Colne were champions of the North West Counties League last season with an impressive 100 points and 105 goals scored from 42 league games.
And they have settled well into higher league life, sitting in ninth place after a five match unbeaten run.
This will be the first meeting between the sides and Ossett Town player and assistant manager Steve Ridley is hoping to get his team back to winning ways. He said: “Runs will always come to an end and that is what we have told the lads. We just need to start another one now and push on again.”
“We have had a good first half of the season but we cannot relax and take things for granted. You may see some new faces in the coming weeks but we have a good squad and the lads have done great to get us to second in the league.”
Ridley added: “We have got to continue doing what we have been doing, working hard on and off the pitch as that is what has got us to where we are.
“Saturday sees us host Colne and as always, we have done our homework.
“Colne will certainly be looking at winning the game as a lot of teams don’t believe we should be so high in the league and that the bubble will burst. We just need to keep proving what a good side we are and that we deserve to be up there.”
This season, the Reds have had a tight defence, with a strong back four and in-form goalkeeper Leigh Overton keeping nine clean sheets, Ridley said: “As a whole we defend from the front and it filters through the spine of the side and creates a team that is hard to beat”.
Town’s clash with Colne kicks-off at 3pm on Saturday. Admission is £7 for adults, £3.50 for concessions and full time students, £1 for under-16s and free for under-5s and club junior players in club colours.

JOVIAL is a ground based network aiming to observe oscillations and atmospheric dynamics on Jupiter and more generally on planets with an atmosphere in the Solar System. Three Doppler imager are installed on three different telescopes around the Earth, in Japan, France and USA, aiming to observe continuously the target for several weeks thanks to the repartition in longitude between the three sites.
The JOVIAL instrument is a Doppler imager based on an interferometer which provides images and maps of Doppler motion at the surface of the planet with a sampling time of one image/mn. It has been developed at OCA in the framework of the Doppler Sismo Imager, a Research and Development program supported by CNES between 2009 and 2013. It has been installed and tested at Calern observatory in 2014 and 2015.
In 2014, the New Mexico State University obtained a support from NASA to build a copy of the DSI instrument to be intalled on the Dunn Solar Telescope at Sunspot in New Mexico. In 2015, the JOVIAL project was granted by the french Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) to set-up a complete ground-based network for continuous observations of Jupiter. Japan supported the project by providing access to the 188cm telescope at Okayama Observatory and witn a financial support of JSPS. The goal of the project is the completion of the network in 2019 for observations of Jupiter and Saturn between 2020 and 2025.
News (April 14th, 2024)
The paper "Three-dimensional Atmospheric Dynamics of Jupiter from Ground-based Doppler Imaging Spectroscopy in the Visible" has been published in Planetary Sciences Journal
News (December 2023)
A new observing run was achieved between October 19th and November 15th with the instruments in New Mexico and in France only, as the repair of the Okayama telescope is still not achieved. The weather in Calern was really bad for all the run, much better in New Mexico. A few nights with a complete rotation of Jupiter (10 hours) were obtained. The Adaptive Optics system in Calern demonstrated to work well when the seeing was correct.
News (October 2022)
A second complete run of observations of Jupiter was scheduled between september 19th and october 16th. The instrument at the Dunn solar telescope in New Mexico has been revised with new mirrors and a complete realignement giving data of nominal quality. The observation procedure was also modified for better calibration..At Calern, the adaptive optics module AOC was fully operational and proved to be very effective, also thanks to the derotator module, avoiding the negative effects of the rotation of the pupil. Disgracefully, a major failure of the telescope dome at Okayama observatory prevented the use of the telescope during that period, so the total time coverage remained lower than 25% on the four weeks despite the longer nights and much better position of Jupiter in the sky.
News (September 2021)
The first joint campaign was organised in August 2021, with the 3 instruments. Both Jupiter and Saturn were observed, during two weeks each. Despite adverse meteorological conditions and sudden spread of Covid pandemic in Japan, good data could be obtained on Saturn, with a duty cycle of 21% and on Jupiter with a duty cycle of 23%. The data have been processed and will be made available in the database.
News (December 2020)
The 2020 observing campaign was cancelled due to the pandemic and the impossibility to acceed to the telescopes of the network. The development of the last instrument was also interrupted during the first semester of 2020 and resumed in september. The integration and tests at the laboratory were achieved in November 2020.
The JIVE instrument has been finally installed at the C2PU telescope at Calern observatory behind the AOC (Adaptive Optics @ Calern) Adaptive Optic System. Several tests were achieved on the sky, with Mars as a target. More developments are required for AOC to be fully operational and optimized for atmospheric real-time corrections on planets. We expect to be ready for new tests in June 2021 on Jupiter and full network observations of Saturn in August 2021.
News (December 2019)
The JOVIAL database has been installed at IAS thanks to the efforts of Hervé Ballans, Imène Lajili and Ivan Gonçalves, under the supervision of Patrick Boumier and Frédéric Baudin. The database is accessible through the following link. All the data, raw as well as processed data, will be made available when ready.
News (June 2019)
A second instrument has been assembled at Nice Observatory and installed at the 188cm telescope of Okayama observatory in Japan. The instrument was installed in March 2019 by a coordinated team from OCA, IAS and the University of Tokyo, with the help from the Okayama Observatory staff. The first light was received the 1st of April 2019.
A coordinated campaign of observation of Jupiter was organised between May 26 th and June 16th in Japan and the USA. Despite the contrary weather, 11 nights of observations were obtained. Data are being processed.
A third instrument at Calern observatory should complete the network in early 2020
News (January 2019)
The first results on atmospheric dynamics of Jupiter were published in Icarus. See the Publications page
News (October 2018)
First JOVIAL data from observations at Sunspot were presented at EPSC 2018 meeting in Berlin. The presentation is available her : EPSC 2018
News (June 2018)
One instrument was installed at Sacramento Peak, in New Mexico (USA) on the Dunn Solar Telescope in september 2017. Observations of Jupiter were carried there in May 2018.
Stay tuned: news and results will be announced here

Mary sent me this article a while back about a trend of conversions to Islam by women in the UK.
Here’s an example story:
Women like Kristiane Backer, 43, a London-based former MTV presenter who had led the kind of liberal Western-style life that I yearned for as a teenager, yet who turned her back on it and embraced Islam instead. Her reason? The ‘anything goes’ permissive society that I coveted had proved to be a superficial void.
The turning point for Kristiane came when she met and briefly dated the former Pakistani cricketer and Muslim Imran Khan in 1992 during the height of her career. He took her to Pakistan where she says she was immediately touched by spirituality and the warmth of the people.
Kristiane says: ‘Though our relationship didn’t last, I began to study the Muslim faith and eventually converted. Because of the nature of my job, I’d been out interviewing rock stars, travelling all over the world and following every trend, yet I’d felt empty inside. Now, at last, I had contentment because Islam had given me a purpose in life.’
‘In the West, we are stressed for superficial reasons, like what clothes to wear. In Islam, everyone looks to a higher goal. Everything is done to please God. It was a completely different value system.
‘Despite my lifestyle, I felt empty inside and realised how liberating it was to be a Muslim. To follow only one god makes life purer. You are not chasing every fad.
‘I grew up in Germany in a not very religious Protestant family. I drank and I partied, but I realised that we need to behave well now so we have a good after-life. We are responsible for our own actions.’
For a significant amount of women, their first contact with Islam comes from dating a Muslim boyfriend. Lynne Ali, 31, from Dagenham in Essex, freely admits to having been ‘a typical white hard-partying teenager’.
She says: ‘I would go out and get drunk with friends, wear tight and revealing clothing and date boys.
‘I also worked part-time as a DJ, so I was really into the club scene. I used to pray a bit as a Christian, but I used God as a sort of doctor, to fix things in my life. If anyone asked, I would’ve said that, generally, I was happy living life in the fast lane.’
But when she met her boyfriend, Zahid, at university, something dramatic happened.
She says: ‘His sister started talking to me about Islam, and it was as if everything in my life fitted into place. I think, underneath it all, I must have been searching for something, and I wasn’t feeling fulfilled by my hard-drinking party lifestyle.’
Why is this happening? Why are women in the West choosing Islam? Is it because Islam is tested and found to be true?
I have a hypothesis, but I am open to hearing other ideas. I think that what these women are looking for is not really truth, but community and a system of rules that they can follow in order to feel accepted by the community and to feel less guilty about the mistakes they made in the past. It’s not like they are undertaking some survey of religions and evaluating each one based on logical and evidential criteria. It’s not like they watched debates and listened to multiple sides in conflict. No. It’s that they partied a lot, then felt guilty, then picked a religion with rules about prayer and dress, (easy things they can show off and talk about), that would make their guilt go away. They turned over a new leaf and their new community-approved behavior is giving them acceptance and self-esteem. Truth has nothing to do with their search, and they don’t think that anyone else’s view is “false” either. They have no intention of arguing for their new convictions with other faith communities to see whose view is true. The point of their conversion is NOT to be RIGHT, it’s to FEEL GOOD about themselves after all the bad things they did. Religion is really on the same level as yoga, vegetarianism, recycling or pilades – it’s about subjective experience and feelings not about objective truth.
I identify this phenomenon primarily with women, but many men do it too. I would say something like 70% of women and 30% of men have this subjective approach to religion. This is why I complain about the “feminization” of Christianity. But Biblical Christianity is not feminized – it’s not postmodern, it’s not relativistic and it’s not universalist. We Christians should not want to appeal to the felt needs of people looking for community and self-esteem. We are a community based on truth, not a community based on feelings and needs and emotions. If religion is nothing but community and emotions, then there is nothing special about Jesus. He’s just one flavor – you can choose him if you like him, but if you don’t like him then you aren’t rationally obligated (by arguments and evidence) to choose him. I am appalled some people think of religion this way. It annoys me intensely. They are treating religion as the search for handbag or a new pair of shoes – shopping therapy to assuage guilty feelings.
When I see people choosing their religion like these women, it really causes me to wonder what is really going on in our churches. Is that all we are – a country club where people sing and feel a sense of belonging to a community and that some untested spirit in the sky is taking care of them? I know that the Bible doesn’t sanction a subjective approach to religion, but what if the church gets feminized and just dumps the Bible and focuses on creating tolerant welcoming communities and self-esteem building? Do we really believe that these moral rules are authoritative, and that they reflect God’s character and his design for us – our moral obligations? What if we minimize truth and sin and Hell and just give people a country club where people can discuss the weather, vacations and their kids’ extracurricular activities, and sing songs together, and assuage their guilt over their mispent youths. I am not saying that Christians have to be morally perfect – but maybe we would project seriousness about these matters if we were a little more informed and a little more self-sacrificial.
The question I have is – why don’t Christians make a bigger deal about the importance of truth so they can distinguish Christianity from other religions, and why don’t we do a better job of explaining our moral rules, (e.g. – chastity, pro-life, pro-marriage), with real logic and real evidence? Maybe if we made our Biblical criteria (truth) known, then people who choose Islam would realize that they were just jumping at religions based on their personal preferences, and neglecting to ask which one is true. Maybe then we would have something to offer other than nice buildings, “non-judgmental” (moral relativist) people, and good worship songs that make people have happy feelings. I know that people actually choose churches based on superficial things like whether they like the building or the songs. It makes me sick. It makes me sick to think that atheists are looking at us and thinking that we are all just irrational weaklings mouthing words that we have no reason to believe, and adopting rules in order to feel good about ourselves. Do people in the church have any idea how this looks to outsiders? They’re not stupid. They can tell authentic Christians from fakes.

MOUNT VERNON — Last February a complaint was made to the Knox County Board of Health concerning a solid waste nuisance at Rising Communities MHP trailer park at 300 Columbus Road. The trailer park was designated as a public health nuisance for various problems including trash build- up.
“We received a complaint ... about the manufactured home park regarding raw sewage coming to the surface of the ground,” Knox County Health Commissioner Dennis Murray said at the February meeting of the board. “Also the trailer park did not have any water.”
At the time of the complaint, Brian Benick of the health department inspected the site. Because the trailer park is within city limits it is required to use the city sewer system if available. The sewer system is available and the park does utilize it but Benick said there had been a break in the line that hooked the park up to the sewer system.
The same is not the case for water delivery and even though city water is available to the park, it uses its own well. There had also been a break in the water line. Both problems were taken care of within the week.
“Everything got rectified,” Benick said when contacted recently about the situation. “This has been months ago. We haven’t had any complaints lately. We had been making frequent inspections out there. It all held up out there so we aren’t even doing frequent inspections any more.”
All corrections were done in a timely manner and Benick did not characterize the situation as being extremely serious or persistent.
Owner Tom Woosley Jr. said all the work has been completed and “everything is fine, now.”
The trash situation has also been resolved.
“We license trailer parks,” Murray explained. “So it becomes the responsibility of the owner to make sure his tenants are removing their garbage, whether he provides for that or not.”
Walter Williams is one of the tenants at the park and he is satisfied with the situation.
“Everything seems to be OK now,” he said. “We’ve had to make our own arrangements for trash pickup. I’m satisfied with what he (Woosley) did.”
One resident, however, felt that although the sewage and trash problems had been taken care of, there was still a problem with the water even though it had been restored.
“It still tastes like rotten eggs,” he said.

Reviewed by Nancy Taaffe
The artwork displayed in the exhibition Women in Revolt! roughly starts at the end of the 1960s and beginning of the 1970s. In the post-war period the working class won big structural gains; the NHS, welfare, free education and council housing, as well as higher wages and improved working conditions. Reforms gave more money and more time to workers, men and women, two prerequisites for art.
The second-world war ruptured family relations. The war needed women out of the house. Jobs that had previously been considered the domain of men had to be done by women because many of the men were off fighting.
Elements of domesticity were nationalised. Childcare facilities were made more freely available. Some war nurseries were available for free for twelve hours a day, to enable women to work. Many of the artists in this exhibition are the daughters of the women who were changed by the war.
This exhibition can be seen as an attempt by groups of artists, cooperatives, and political activists to consciously and unconsciously hold on to and extend rights that had been won by the post-war generation. Even if you can see in the subsequent sweep of history the shortcomings of some of the methods and ideas used to fight back, the exhibition charts the resistance. Some women fought individually, some fought collectively, but all of them fought back.
Room One – Rising with fury
This room shows small grassroots campaigns springing up in communities to resist the onslaught. Campaigns against the closures of nurseries, protests for equal pay, and paintings depicting the difficulties women encountered securing meaningful work are displayed.
This room proclaims that in the 1970s there were no statutory maternity rights or any sex discrimination legislation. Married women could still be legally raped by their husbands in marriage.
In this room you sense the frustration at what is perceived by many artists as the stalled or incomplete revolution.
Room Two – The Marxist wife still does all the housework
The very name of this room acknowledges the existence of Marxist and socialist ideas in wider society in the 1970s and 1980s. The backdrop to this time would have been big industrial struggles.
The art in this room attempts to address the question of the public and private sphere; a dominant theme is ‘make the personal political’. Wages for Housework as an international movement took off. Artists produced art at their kitchen tables, whilst they had caring responsibilities and domestic chores. They attempted to home birth, their bodies became subjects for their art. Their environment informed their materials. They explored fertility, reproduction and the behind-the-scenes work that goes into sustaining a family, whatever that family looks like.
They challenged the idealised nude, the selfless mother and doting housewife. They turned images of women on their heads and looked at them from different perspectives. They used the materials of the home, wool, fabrics and photography.
I found this room more challenging, with its emphasis on small consciousness raising groups attempting to change things. It felt like it was at times raging against the ‘macho’ nature of the big industrial struggles of the time, intimating that these didn’t address women’s oppression. Although it was also contradictory, as it had a section dedicated to the seminal two-year strike for union recognition by mainly Asian women workers at the Grunwick film processing lab in west London.
Room Three – Greenham women everywhere.
Whilst a layer of women joined single-issue liberation campaigns, others set up women’s groups attached to more generalised struggle, and in particular the labour movement struggles. The campaign for nuclear disarmament saw the Greenham Common women peace camp.
This was the most political room, with homemade magazines and banners etc, from groups such as Women Against Pit Closures, overtly socialist and Marxist groups, anti-racist groups, and those fighting for abortion and reproductive rights.
Maybe I’m biased because the miners’ strike woke me up politically, but I liked this room most. One of the most memorable speeches I’ve ever heard was a report of a miner’s wife who had become so emancipated by the dispute that when husband decided to go back to work, against her wishes and before the strike had ended, she left her wedding ring and a note on the mantel piece saying that because she was a completely changed person since the strike had started she couldn’t reconcile herself with his actions. Here the personal was not only political, it was for a greater cause other than herself.
Room 4 – Black woman in now
With the backdrop of the uprisings taking place in Black communities across Britain, expressed by the Brixton and Tottenham riots, this room reflected the rising voices of women within the Black, gay and disabled communities. The international struggles, such as those against apartheid, influenced the art of these groups, as did the struggle against the anti-gay section 28 and the struggle of the disabled community, such as the struggle for equal access to transport facilities. The liberation struggles taking place outside in wider society became the subject for marginalised groups within the women’s movement and in turn the art that was created.
Last room – There’s no such thing as society
It’s interesting that the exhibition ends with the election of the first female prime minister and her infamous comments on individualism.
This room reflects the counter-revolution that set in in life, and in particular in women’s lives, based on the failure of those that led the movement in the 70s and 80s to lead it to a generalised lasting victory. The room reflects the corporatisation of life and, interestingly, art. This room proclaims that with the onslaught of neo-liberalism the type of art that Room One showcased became more or less crushed – not least because art space became privatised and exclusive.
This exhibition showcases the resistance of women in many different forms over a period of nearly four decades. Go see it to get a flavour of the time.

BANGKOK, Thailand – It was billed as a New Year’s Eve blowout and a last-night celebration of the wildly popular, classy nightclub before it moved to a new location.
“Goodbye Santika,” the promotion poster read.
Before the revelry was over, at least 61 people were dead and more than 200 injured when they tried to flee what swiftly became a charred, gutted ruin in a glitzy Bangkok entertainment area.
Several witnesses said a fireworks display during the New Year’s countdown ignited the blaze.
But one foreigner said he saw no pyrotechnics at the club and a video shot by a guest showed many inside the club waving sparklers shortly before the fire erupted.
Among the casualties were a Singaporean who died and at least 35 foreigners who were injured, including citizens of Australia, Belgium, Britain, France, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and the United States, according to officials and reporters.
A full accounting was not expected for about a week since nearly 30 of the corpses were charred beyond recognition.
A senior Bangkok official, Pongsak Kasemsan, ordered a preliminary investigation report to be completed within three days and vowed to crack down on unsafe entertainment venues, some of which have been described as death traps by local residents.
“Everybody was pushing against each other trying to get out to the front door as quickly as possible. I saw people, particularly young girls, being pushed away and crushed underneath as others were stomping on them trying to get out,” said Sompong Tritaweelap, who lives in an apartment behind the nightclub.
Victims died from burns, smoke inhalation and injuries during the stampede.
Video footage of the disaster showed bloodied, bruised and burned victims being dragged out of the burning two-story club or managing to run through the door or out shattered windows. The video – provided to AP Television News by rescue workers – showed flames racing through the entire building even as the rescue operation was going on.
Sompong said the fire spread through the entire building within 10 minutes.
“People were screaming for help from every window. It was a terrible sight. Their hair and clothes were on fire but there was nothing they could do as the fire engulfed them,” he said.
The Phranakorn Center, an official agency dealing with accidents in Bangkok, said at least 61 people died and that 35 foreigners were among the injured. The Narenthorn Emergency Center, which was coordinating relief efforts, said more than 200 had been injured.
Police Lt. Col. Sujettana Sotthibandhu, a forensics expert, said it might take about a week to identify almost 30 bodies that were badly disfigured.
The Santika Club, popular with young, affluent Thais as well as tourists and expatriates, was celebrating not only the New Year but also the last night at its location in the Ekamai entertainment district. The owner was planning to move to a new location since the lease on the property could not be extended.
The Web site of The Nation newspaper quoted one partygoer, Somchai Frendi, as saying the blaze was caused when the countdown fireworks ignited the second floor ceiling, which was covered with soundproofing material.
Sompong quoted a maid at the club as giving a similar account.
“Some of the sparks fell onto the carpeted floor as well. Within seconds, smoke was everywhere,” he quoted her as saying.
But Steven Hall, 35, from Cardiff Wales in Britain, said he saw no fireworks on the stage.
“As far as I could see, the fire looked like it started at the ceiling level,” Hall said in a hospital interview. “The first thing I remember was seeing people on the stage and seeing flames coming out from along the ceiling level above the stage and seeing embers come down and looking at the faces of people on the stage looking horrified.”
“There was a band and a DJ – I could not see any pyrotechnics,” he said.
Police Lt. Gen. Jongrak Jutanont said an initial investigation found the club’s safety system was “substandard” but did not elaborate.
The club was packed with about 1,000 celebrants, police officers at the scene said. Rescue workers said most of the bodies were found in a pit area surrounding the stage.
The corpses, placed in white body bags, were laid out in rows in the parking lot in front of the club, which was strewn with shoes of the victims, water bottles, parking stickers and other debris.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva visited the still-smoldering club just after dawn. Later, during a visit at one of the hospitals, he said, “The question is why they let someone take fireworks inside the pub and light them up.”
Safety regulations are often loosely enforced in Thailand. A 1994 law requires motorcyclists to wear helmets, but bareheaded riders with policemen blithely looking on are a common sight on Bangkok’s streets today.
