The Falls purports to profile 92 people, each of whom has survived a Violent Unknown Event (the details of which, almost in a parody of The Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975), are kept conflicting and deliberately unclear). Each develops an obsession with birds and flight in some eccentric way, along with peculiar languages (which allows Greenaway to conduct some marvellous cod linguistic anthropology) and peculiar mutations. For each of the 92 profiled, Greenaway wanders off to tell some wonderfully nutty little story in one of the funniest moments, one character develops the theory that the Violent Unknown Event was orchestrated by Alfred Hitchcock in order to deal with the unexplained ending of The Birds (1963).
The film is filled with many characteristic Greenaway-esque touches the peculiar fascination with the cataloguing of seemingly trivial details; numeric sequences the number 92 has a recurring significance; wilfully eccentric connections of logic; the farcically straight-face sense of humour. One can even note odd in-references to other Peter Greenaway films there are several mentions of his earlier shorts Vertical Features Remake (1976) and A Walk Through H (1978). One of the biographies also makes mention of the three Cissy Colpitts who would later become the three central characters of Greenaways Drowning By Numbers (1988).
The Falls is a genuinely eccentric film. Eccentric as much for Peter Greenaways drolly absurd sense of humour as for the fact that he has devoted three hours to it indeed the session that one was at ended with at least half the audience walking out. For all that, The Falls is an undeniably likeable film.
Peter Greenaways other films of genre interest are: several episodes of the modernised tv series A TV Dante (1989-91); The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989), his Shakespeare adaptation Prosperos Books (1991), the miraculous child film The Baby of Macon (1993) and The Tulse Luper Suitcases: The Moab Story (2003), The Tulse Luper Suitcases, Part 2: From Vaux to the Sea (2004) and The Tulse Luper Suitcases Part 3: From Sark to the Finish (2004), a surreal mock biography that is part of a mammoth multimedia work from Greenaway.

What if by chance we meet, embrace once more,
And to that place we go where no one sees
Or even knows, we quietly close the door
And shut away the winter's cooling breeze.
The scent of hyacinths still fills the hall
And welcomes us with memories of where
We both said our goodbyes and we'll recall
Unspoken words left hanging in the air
But if we meet, will winter turn to spring?
For what we were and what we might have been
When to this empty room, my love, you'll bring
Bouquets of flowers fresh and newly green
If in this chance encounter, you are true,
We may find love returns, from where it flew

Give yourself the gift of a session with Baljit!
M.S. - Oct 2, 2016
Baljit is an incredible combination of experience, sensitivity, humor, compassion and knowledge; all the hall-marks of a genuine healer. In one treatment, Baljit pinpointed the cause of recent aches in my arms and hands. Doing gentle specific moves, my arms and hands became more flexible with increased range of motion; pain-free! You don't have to live a limited life, go see Baljit!
Baljit is giving me my life back!
Randy D - Jul 22, 2016
I was a huge sceptic when I heard about Bowen therapy, however I was in constant pain my muscles were so tight and knotted that my range of motion was very limited. I am 53 played football, wrestled, rode dirt bikes and worked construction I thought there was little to be done to reverse the damage I had done to my body! I had done pain clinics, chiropractors, and massage all with some relief but little long term hope, Baljit has been doing Bowen on me and my body feels better each week!
Intuition combined with Knowledge
M.S. - Jun 9, 2016
Baljit combines both intuition, knowledge, as well as years of experience; a potent mix! She gets to the heart of the matter. What was turning into a more chronic issue is no longer!
I enjoyed my experience.
Maryah L - May 23, 2016
I have had chronic back pain for years. I felt very relaxed. Baljit answered all of my questions and I can't wait to do it again.
Jorge O'Farrill - May 16, 2016
Baljit was very professional and knowledgeable. She was genuinely interested in my well being and treating the source of my shoulder pain. I would highly recommend her.

A new device out of Drexel University could help solve an important obstacle in detecting and treating people who suffer from a condition that often manifests itself as Parkinson's disease.
According to the university, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have utilized a device developed at the West Philly college to help identify differences in the brain between those with Parkinsonian syndromes and healthy adults.
Before the new Drexel device, neuroimaging tools used to study the condition were limited to use when the patient was sitting down. But the portable system made by researchers at Drexel’s School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems can be used when the person is standing or walking.
That's important because it allows those studying Parkinsonian syndromes to look at a key part of the brain - the prefrontal cortex - while a patient is performing skills and tasks. More from Drexel:
The device employs functional near-infrared, or fNIR, spectroscopy, which uses light to monitor changes in blood oxygenation in the brain as individuals perform tasks, take tests or receive stimulation. The prefrontal cortex is the area responsible for higher-level processing, such as memory, attention, problem solving and decision-making. When a person is learning a new skill, for instance, neural activity is greater in this region.
Unlike fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), the fNIR system is fully portable: Participants wear a headband, allowing them to talk and move around while a computer collects data in real time.
It's important to note that Parkinsonian syndromes is not in all cases Parkinson's disease. According to Move2Answers, a GE Healthcare website, Parkinsonian Syndromes includes a broader scope, and Parkinson's disease is a form of it.
Drexel notes that Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder where brain cells that control movement die. Those with Parkinsonian syndromes, mostly older adults, do not reach the diagnosis of the disease but have many of the same symptoms; tremor, trouble walking and rigidity are a few.
The work done with this new device found that those with Parkinsonian syndromes used much more oxygen in their brains while performing a simple task than those without it, and opens up new fields of research, according to Drexel.

Tantrums and heated arguments bordering on culpability, as well as the dissolution of ex-president, Sensei Tshepo Bathai’s limping committee were the highlights of Botswana Karate Association (BOKA) Special General Meeting held last Saturday as the new dawn for 2015 beckons with the sport seeking to start this year afresh.
It was quite clear from the faces of the affiliates that they want the old committee to account and answer for the misdeeds of the past. Among the contentious issues raised at the meeting was the alleged poor governance that became a daily thing during the reign of Bathai who has a 26 year record with the sport.
The angry affiliates questioned how some decisions were taken without their blessings for go-ahead – including among others the establishment of the BOKA trust. The meeting was attended by among others, former presidents Gift Nkwe and Million Masumbika who went on to suggest that BNSC should crack the whip on those who had a hand in dismantling their lovely sport.
After hours of verbal sparring in the BOKA hall, the affiliates at last gathered and reached a consensus that Bathai’s failed committee that was in charge of the sport should be dismissed because it was dysfunctional. It was agreed that for the time being, pending elections, new interim committee be elected to stir the ailing karate ship and part of the new committee’s mandates is to draw up a calendar of events for this year and assemble national teams for preparatory games for continental showpieces like the All Africa Games.
The committee which is headed by David Mathe, also includes Montshwari Motlogelwa, Mpho Bakwadi, Lere Basupang and Sidney Maruping. Bathai’s committee has limped for a while especially after the earlier resignation of the likes of Basupang, Charles, Andrew Dobolo and Kemmonye Setlalemotse, but later Dobolo and Charles withdrew their resignations.
Although the BNSC and Falcon Sedimo led Commission of enquiry findings are still a closely guarded secret, the affiliates have vowed that they will quash any recommendation which disregard election of a new committee. On Saturday, this publication understands that the affiliates agreed on an initial date of February 14th as the date for the elections and already opinion leaders have started to hit the ground running by campaigning for their preferred candidates – who they think has the potential to take karate to new heights.
WeekendSport can reveal that two men are the favorites to take two influential seats within the sport. Mathe, who was supposed to enter the race alongside Masumbika and Bathai last year but pulled out in the last minute, is tipped for one of the posts, especially the presidency as he is said to be a great administrator and has good leadership qualities which the sport desperately need.
Another man who is touted for another top post is Bakwadi, who like Mathe features in the interim committee. Bakwadi’s technical knowhow of the game is a plus for him as the affiliates want a strong technical wing that should be led by a technically sound person more especially heading into hectic year.
This interim committee has received a warm welcome from the karate enclave as they believe that it is the beginning of good things to come to them this year. Insiders’ further project that the interim committee is likely to be reinstated in the office but only if they can prove their mettles in a space of roughly 20 days in the office.
Takeover talks inside Mochudi Centre Chiefs boardroom appear to have collapsed following months of intense persuasion between Chairman Thapelo Tsheole and apparent shareholders, Matshidiso Sexton Kowa and one Tsieng Ramotsha.
Both Kowa and Ramotsha are equal shareholders of Mochudi Center Chiefs PTY Ltd, as per Companies and Intellectual Property Authority (CIPA) records.
It is said that the current Chairman has grown exasperated with the failure to make significant progress where he wanted to professionalize the club and turn it into a footballing company.
Sources speaking with WeekendSport state that Tsheole wants both Directors to cede 75 percent of their shares to society as he believes the transitional route from society to a company has been bypassed.
Tsheole officially raised his hand for the first time this year, in an attempt to bring an end to more than a decade spell of Chiefs’ ownership, and appeared to have pinned his hopes on reaching an agreement with both Kowa and Ramotlhwa because of their status and good standing as former Chiefs administrators.
However, he now feels he was wrong to believe he was serious in his attempt to cajole the supposed club owners and those close to him have also said he feels he is now wasting his time speaking to them.This follows unsuccessful negotiations where both Directors were alleged to have been left in utter shock concerning the approach and presentation of the Chairman.
While the two Directors would not be drawn to comment, it is said they are both hamstrung to divulge deeper details to Tsheole because of his ambition to transform the club.
Tsheole, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of Stock Exchange was surprised when he tried to register a commercial footballing company on behalf of Mochudi Centre Chiefs. He deliberately chose the ‘Mochudi Centre Chiefs’ name because of its popularity as it remains a brand country wide.
He found out that the company name already exists and is under the directorship of both Kowa and Ramotsha.When approached for comment Tsheole could not field any of WeekendSport enquiries but refereed the paper to Pollen Makgane who is the club’s Public Relation Officer.
Makgane confirmed that there are ongoing talks between Chiefs’ current committee and club directors to help in transformation. He said it is not an easy exercise as a lot of understanding has to be done to appreciate the two side of the story.
“I want us to protect the status of the two directors but what is more important is that talks are not as smooth as we had expected. You will recall that Tsheole was given the mandate to transform the club but now there is a deadlock of club ownership,” he said.
While Mochudi Center Chiefs PTY LTD was registered sometime in February of this year, there was another company, Centre Chiefs PTY LTD, associated with the club which has been in existence since the early 1990s. This is the same company that acquired a 7 hector piece of land in Mochudi.
The company had 7 directors namely Victor Kowa as the Executive Chairman, Ezekiel Mooki who was appointed the Technical Director, Serake Mfollwe holding the post of director of Marketing and Public Relations, Simon Mmopi coming as Director of Development, Mac Lean Letshwiti holding the fort as Director of Finance, Sexton Kowa who was Youth Development Director and Kgafela Kgafela who occupied the post of Director of Legal Affairs and Board Secretary.
Fresh from losing the Botswana Football Association (BFA) National Executive Committee elections, Tebogo Sebego’s aspiring Vice Presidents, Maokaneng Bontshetse and Senki Sesinyi have immediately lodged a protest, arguing that elections were not free and fair.
Of particular interest, the two rejected vice presidents question the involvement of BFA staff members in the counting and verification of ballot papers.
Their arguments rest on Article 20 of the electoral code which reads thus; “only members of the electoral committee may take part in the count.”
Furthermore, Sesinyi, who lost the elections to the eventual winner Masego Ntshingane, argues that Article 16 of the electoral code was flaunted especially during run-off.
The article states that the ballot paper shall be of a different colour for each round of elections.According to Sesinyi’s observations, BFA electoral committee did not use a different colour when the election went to second round.
“The above was not followed as BFA secretaries [sic] was conducting elections which contravened the above section as evidenced by the observers and submitted on the day of elections to the elections officers present. Evidence shall be provided if needed,” Sesinyi wrote.
Sesinyi also submitted that there were allegations of bribery which were doing rounds on the day of elections and even after, something which might have impacted on the outcome of election. In conclusion, Sesinyi seeks fresh elections for all candidates as all processes were not followed.
On the day of the elections, Sesinyi was stationed at Jwaneng where he was eventually voted by 23 delegates out of possible 60.On the other hand, Maokaneng submissions are somewhat similar to that of Sesinyi especially on arguments of Article 20. But he built his case around an alleged spoilt vote that appeared to have cost him the win.
Maokaneng argues that article 21 of the electoral code was violated because, by his own admission, there was no invalid ballot paper as per the definition of the article.“My vote was not counted, reasons known by the secretariat who was verifying and conducting elections by helping the electoral committee member and further ignored Mr Leaketsa’s advice,” Bontshetse submitted.
He further argues that his ballot paper did not have any distinctive marks as defined by the electoral code. The ballot paper did not also bear any words except that of the candidate and could not be labelled as spoilt vote.
It turned out that Bontshetse’s vote was mistakenly thrown into a different box by a delegate but the electoral committee took a decision that it must be regarded as a spoilt vote. This occurred at Palapye voting centre.
“I refer you to the verbal protest that was lodged by an observer at Palapye regarding the counting of the ballot on which a vote under my name was disqualified without any valid reason, therefore contravening the electoral code,” he further submitted.
In conclusion, just like Sesinyi, Bontshetse seeks fresh elections for all candidates. He lost the post to Marshlow Motlogelwa. Bontshetse was voted by 28 delegates while Motlogelwa got 29 votes.
Mogakolodi Tsotso Ngele will continue to be a resident at Limpopo Province after penning a two year deal with Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila Football Club. PIC: BACKPAGE
Ngele was formerly with Black Leopards where he endured a trophy-less season under different coaches. Leopards is also based in Limpopo province and will share the Thohoyandou stadium with Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila.
Tshakhuma purchased the premier league status of Bidvest Wits few months ago.Ngele is expected to be unveiled alongside mega signings in the mould of former Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates midfielder Oupa Manyisa and Thabo Mnyamane of Supersport United.
Ngele left Black Leopards during the bio-bubble after it was discovered he had signed a pre-contract with Wits before the club was sold.Before agreeing a deal with TTM, Ngele was said to be torn between playing for one more year at South Africa and coming to Botswana to play for high paying Township Rollers.
The Rollers decision was to hinge on his private business where he wanted to monitor it closely. He owns a sporting clothing label and has already signed a two year deal with Notwane FC.Ngele’s career at Leopards blew hot and cold.
He only enjoyed his stay when his former coach Calvin Johnson was at the helm. He played crucial matches and his stunning free kick against Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs is still remembered by his followers.However, there have been many other factors at play.
It is said Ngele’s future at Black Leopards encountered problems of many kind. His future was believed to have been dulled by injuries and a confidence that strangely refused to bloom.The player was also said to have broken ranks with Leopards management where he shocked them when playing for the senior national team late last year albeit claiming to be suffering from a thigh injury.
Ngele went to South Africa on the books of Platinum Stars. His marvellous seasons with the club left Sundowns impressed and they wasted no time to sign him on a five-year contract deal.
This was after winning himself a couple of Man of the Match accolades before scooping the Telkom player of the season in the 2015 season.

At the end of May, our country celebrated the life and impact made by Harvey Milk with the release of a postage stamp bearing his image. While still a tremendous move overall towards garnering respect for groundbreaking members of the LGBT community, the shockwave had special meaning to suburban city just north of Los Angeles. Santa Clarita is known by its residents (and not many else) for being a very conservative community. In recent years, clashes over political and social issues have made the division between progressive and conservative community members apparent. However, in an unprecedented event held to celebrate Harvey Milk and the LGBT community as a whole, the community came together for an afternoon barbecue and was met with virtually no adversity. The local chapter of PFLAG organized the Give ‘Em Hope family barbecue over the course of a year, culminating in the type of summertime fun you’d see in an ABC Family original movie. This massive change in the acceptance of LGBT community members was unexpected, to say the least, given the recent history of the city.
I met with Cheryl Bernstein, the driving force behind this event, to talk about how she made what seemed like the impossible happen.
When did you first have the idea to put together a community event like this? Was there something that triggered it?
Yes, there was. Last year, the Antelope Valley Pride Center invited the Saugus High School GSA to come to their welcoming prom. Saugus GSA reached out to PFLAG and asked if we would help them raise money. We were ecstatic. So, we helped them raise money (more than they asked for) and the first thing we did was everybody jumped up and down and said “we helped them raise money! Our kids are gonna go!” But then a second later we were like “why do we have to send our kids out of this valley to feel welcome?” We were really happy to do this, but our kids should not have to go out of this valley to go to the prom. So originally, we were going to to do a prom and then we realized we’re PFLAG, which is Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, we’re families, so we wanted to do a family event and the family even turned into a community barbecue.
Did you receive a lot of support from the community as a whole, or was it met with an adversity?
The community was amazing. So, my roots in this community of LGBT issues go back to the 2008 election and the Prop 8 campaign. At that time, the community was NOT welcoming and it was not a pretty sight. That was a really rough time. Fast-forward to now, going out into the community, and I have to tell you I was very nervous and I didn’t know how I would be received. And I joke, one day I decided I’m putting on my big-girl make-up and I got all dressed up and I thought “I’m going to go hit the auto mall.” That was an amazing experience. They were so welcoming and interested and no one was rude. That first experience invigorated me and took the fear away. So I was now fearless going out into the community and… one person wasn’t thrilled with me. But really, overwhelmingly, my stories are positive…. No one kicked me out of their store. I would go back every time to the kids once a month on our Sunday meeting with the kids and team leaders and I would relay the stories and the kids, you could see them getting so happy when they heard how welcoming the community was. It was a very big deal. I felt honored representing PFLAG in the community.
Do you think that is might be a turning point for the community in terms of opening more doors and leading to more acceptance?
I hope so, that was the point, but just from me going out in the community, I think it is turning on its own. I think we are definitely headed in the right direction and I think it’s important for, especially the kids to know, that they are more accepted and we are moving forward, whether we had our event or not. The interesting thing is that we were supported by three churches. I think we need to get that out into the community that churches do support what we’re doing that there is no one monolithic group that really is anti-gay or homophobic. It’s small pockets within and I think that is changing. I also think that we had this barbecue at the right time in history. I don’t think that the community would have been ready a couple of years ago. My favorite part of the barbecue was that there were so many families with little kids; that people weren’t afraid to bring their kids around “the gays.” The families were very welcoming and very open. We’re moving to that place where it’s going to be a non-issue.
Do you plan on holding a similar event in following years?
I keep getting asked that question. This took a lot of work. It was fun, I enjoyed every minute of it, but can you ask me that again in a couple of months? The community wants it, I get asked that a lot. I don’t believe in closing doors, but I’m a little tired. (She laughs.)
Though the support seemed effortless and adversity was nearly nonexistent, it hadn’t been a week before a news article showed up to knock everyone back into reality. While the justness of the actor being fired for his response to a homophobic heckler is debatable, the fact that someone who would shout derogatory terms unabashedly shows that there is a long way to go. However, it also shows that no longer are supporters of equal rights and respect being silenced by a “moral” majority. Harvey Milk continues to be proven correct when he said that “hope will never be silent.”

THE ARS QUATUOR CORONATI CIRCLE OF CORRESPONDENCE WORKS
The author of the Master's Song
QUESTION : Who was the author of " the Master’s Song " ?
Answer : The author of the Master’s Song (" Here’s to his health in a Song ") sung at Installations was Richard Rome
Bealey, and it first appeared in print in his Field Flowers and City Chimes, a volume of verse printed by John Heywood of Manhester
Bealey was born 7th February, 1828, at Rochdale, and was for many years in business in Manchester. He was one of the founders of the Manchester Literary Club when he was living at Crumpsall, and its Secretary from 1865 to 1870. As originally printed, the song was entitled " The Man who is kind another ", and included a fourth verse which has not been reproduced for singing. It was set to music by Dr. John Morgan Bentley, a well-known Manchester musician of repute in his days, and appears to have been first sung in the Alexandra Lodge N° 993, Manchester, about 1875.

His team clinging to two point lead with just under one minute left, Steve Prohm gave a middle finger to adversity and led his team to one of the most unique wins in Iowa State history. After ignoring the numerous pleas from the nearest official, the head coach held his ground, stomped his foot and yelled “MY TEAM....IS ON THE FLOOR!”. Undermanned and literally outnumbered, the Cyclones closed out their win over the Horned Frogs with the four jubilant players still standing, celebrating at mid court with thousands of their closest Cyclone fans.
This isn’t your typical preview, because this isn’t your typical game. There will be no postseason berth hanging in the balance, there will be no bunker talk from Joe Lunardi, and there will be no Nick Weiler-Babb or Solomon Young. The two starters will be out for this game, and most likely the rest of the year.
Iowa State forward Solomon Young announced he will have surgery today. Posted that he has two tears in his meniscus and will get it fixed.— Alex Halsted (@AlexHalsted) February 20, 2018
Iowa State has announced that Nick Weiler-Babb will miss the remainder of the season and will have further testing on his knee in the coming days.— Alex Halsted (@AlexHalsted) February 20, 2018
So, then there were eight. Not just eight scholarship players, but eight players in uniform. That number could dwindle if Hans Brase sits out once again as he has in the last four games. That would shrink Steve Prohm’s roster down to seven. Woof.
A season that started with reckless anticipation has humbled even the most die-hard of fans. While it’s tough to find reasons for optimism as the clock winds down on this season, all hope has not been lost. That wouldn’t be the Iowa State Way.
With one eye on the present and two eyes (yes humans have three eyes now) on the future, Cyclone fans have enjoyed watching the league’s best two freshmen turn into budding superstars. Forced into a more prominent role due to injury, graduate transfer Zoran Talley has been the talk of the Clone Cone line for his positive production as of late. After hitting some of the biggest shots of an incredible season just one year ago, Donovan Jackson is climbing the single season record books for his three point shooting prowess.
Point being, there is still a lot to play for. There is still a lot to cheer for.
Most importantly, the players on the floor still expect to win.
As fans, we have just a couple of weeks left of Cyclone basketball, something that for many of us is a welcome distraction to the dog days of winter. Sure, the future looks bright, but the present has given us plenty to be proud of too.
For Iowa State fans, the best has come when the deck was stacked against our Cyclones. Whether it was beating Oklahoma on the road with a “third-string” quarterback, or overcoming a 15 point deficit inside Allen Fieldhouse, adversity has proven it is no match for the Iowa State Cyclones.
On Wednesday evening, the Cyclones may start the game with just eight players. If the fouls pile up, they may finish the game literally outnumbered. The odds are not with the Cyclones. This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last. Dealing with adversity is a way of life for the student athletes in Ames.
What I do know is Steve Prohm gives zero fucks what people will say or expect to happen. White flag be damned, his team is on the floor.
Let’s get weird.

It’s Now Illegal to Download Pirated eBooks in The Netherlands
The European Court of Justice ruled yesterday that the Netherlands must make downloads of pirated content illegal. The ruling is not yet available online, but according to the press release (PDF), the Netherlands' existing system of banning uploads while legitimizing downloads via a piracy tax on media (hard disks, flash drives, CDs, etc) does not comply with EU laws and policies.
This ruling was requested by the Hoge Raad der Nederlanden on behalf of a group of manufacturers and importers of blank media. These companies were objecting to having to collect a tax which covered the copying of pirated content in addition to private copying of legitimately purchased content.
Many countries have a similar tax on blank media (Canada, for one), but few countries agree with the Netherlands interpretation of copyright law (Switzerland does). As I understand it, the Netherlands had an explicit piracy tax because the courts had decided that there was no way for consumers to know for sure that the files they were downloaded were legal or pirated.
As much as I dislike the concept of a tax on blank media, I don’t buy that interpretation. And apparently the European Court of Justice doesn’t care for the idea either.
From the press release:
In its judgment delivered today, the Court points out that if Member States were free to adopt legislation permitting, inter alia, reproductions for private use to be made from an unlawful source, the result of that would clearly be detrimental to the proper functioning of the internal market.
Similarly, the objective of proper support for the dissemination of culture may not be achieved by sacrificing strict protection of copyright or by tolerating illegal forms of distribution of counterfeited or pirated works.
The press release goes on to point out that the piracy tax is tacit approval for the piracy, which is counterproductive to the original goal of the private copying levy:
First, to accept that such private reproductions may be made from an unlawful source would encourage the circulation of counterfeited or pirated works, which would inevitably reduce the volume of sales or of lawful transactions relating to the protected works and would consequently have an adverse effect on normal exploitation of those works. Secondly, the application of such national legislation may unreasonably prejudice copyright holders.

Stone statues on Easter Island. Traces of Native American ancestry have been found in the genomes of modern inhabitants of some Polynesian islands, suggesting that ancient islanders met and mixed with people from South America hundreds of years ago. Polynesia was one of the last corners of the world that humans settled, as island-hopping groups from Asia and Oceania began to push farther east some 1, years ago. A study published in Nature on 8 July supports the long-standing, but unproven, theory that ancient Polynesians had contact with Native Americans 1.
Researchers had thought that this was most likely to have happened on Easter Island, also called Rapa Nui, because of its proximity to South America. But the latest data suggest that these encounters — or perhaps a single meeting — happened on islands thousands of kilometres farther away from the continent. Abundant archaeological and genetic evidence indicates that Polynesian islands were first settled by humans travelling east from Asia, but there are some clues that these people made contact with South Americans.
Sweet potatoes, which originate in the Andean highlands, grow across eastern Polynesia, and samples of Polynesian sweet potatoes from the eighteenth century share genetic markers with coastal South American varieties 2. A genome study found that the ancestors of modern inhabitants of Rapa Nui had produced offspring with Native Americans 3 , but DNA from ancient-human remains from that island and another in French Polynesia found no such signs 4 , 5.
Comparisons of this genetic material with that from Native American groups suggested that Zenu people, an Indigenous group in Colombia, carry DNA most like that found in Polynesians. On the basis of the length of shared DNA segments — which shorten in successive generations — the researchers estimate that people in remote eastern Polynesia produced offspring with South Americans between ad and ad , whereas those in Rapa Nui mixed closer to ad They also found evidence of mixing in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Some researchers have proposed that Polynesians voyaged to the coast of South America.

The Prologue to Sir Thopas
The company is sobered by the Prioress’s miraculous story. The Host then turns to Chaucer and asks who he is, for he has been silent and withdrawn up until now. The Host requests a “tale of myrthe,” but Chaucer says that he will provide a rhyming story. The Host expects a “deyntee thyng” to match Chaucer’s appearance.

The Tale of Sir Thopas
Sir Thopas is a gentle knight of Flanders, beautiful to behold and well dressed in fine clothing. He is a hunter, and he has always remained chaste even though he might have had many maidens. One day, Sir Thopas goes out to ride, spurring his horse through the forest almost violently. He has heard a thrush sing and has been carried away by a “love-longynge,” and now he seeks his love. He must find the elf-queen who has enchanted him, for he will love only her.
Along the way, Sir Thopas encounters a giant named Sir Olifaunt who threatens to kill him. The elf-queen dwells in Sir Olifaunt’s land, but he will not let Sir Thopas approach. Sir Thopas challenges the giant to a duel the next day and then escapes. That night, Sir Thopas gathers with his men in town and calls for wine, delicate foods, and stories of love. He clothes and arms himself well in preparation for the fight and sharpens his spear.
Chaucer sings next of chivalry and romances. There are many brave knights, but Sir Thopas tops them all. He is the perfect knight, in fact.
At this point, the Host interrupts Chaucer, calling for an end to this horrible rhyme. Chaucer asks why he cannot finish. It is the best he can do. The Host tells him to switch to another story, something in prose perhaps. Chaucer agrees to relate a moral tale, a little treatise that illustrates some proverbs.

Meetings have changed in line with the audience. Keep up, says Nigel Collin.
As a young whippersnapper in the events game I remember the legendary Glen Lehman saying to me that every 40 minutes you need to change tack, shift gear, and give the audience something different otherwise they’ll get bored.
And he was right of course because the attention span of most people was about 40 minutes.
That was back in the 90s. Today the attention span of participants is a lot less – more like 20 minutes – because we are bombarded with information faster and more concisely than ever before.
Social media inspires ideas and opinions in a matter of lines, words, and characters. We absorb company profiles and sales pitches in two to three minute videos. We have learned to embrace entire philosophies, concepts, and innovative notions in 18 minutes or less with such things as Ted Talks.
Truth is we take in information faster than we used to and our participants are demanding shorter, punchier sessions. They want the big picture first before they decide whether or not it’s worth their time getting into the details and attending a break-out.
For people to learn and take on board new ideas and concepts we need to give them the big picture before we dig down into heavy details. We need to set the scene first, let it sit, and simmer before digging into the complex.
I’m not suggesting we abandon longer style keynotes, break-outs or workshops; what I am saying is we need to think about how we deliver and structure them.
For example at the MEA conference recently we introduced thought starters. These were 40 minute sessions which included three different speakers each presenting a concise overview of different topics. Following these short talks each presenter then delivered a more detailed break-out session over a 60 minute timeframe.
As a participant what this meant was that you didn’t need to sit through a 45 minute presentation which didn’t entice or interest you. You got an overview of each topic and enough information to then choose which break-out you wanted to go to because you had enough information to make a decision.
From a presenter’s point of view I love it (although some have kittens over it) because it forces you to hone down your message and articulate it really clearly. If not you won’t get the numbers to your break-out. Secondly, and better still, you only get people in your break-out who actually want to be there.
It’s a structure I first came across in the US working with ISES and one that is picking up popularity everywhere.
Of course the precise structure may not be perfect for every conference but the idea of overview first – detail second, is an absolute no-brainer. Play with and modify it to suit your own meeting or event.
Glen Lehman taught me that one guaranteed way to disengage your audience is to bore them with endless lengthy sessions.
Shorter means punchier, engaging, and memorable. m

Detra Whiles noticed something wasn't right with her daughter during the physical therapy session. "She was guarding her right side, and her temperature was at 100, so we immediately went down to the ER," she said.
Maggy was in a lot of pain, but after a few scans, she was taken to a nearby children's hospital for four nights to be treated. Unsatisfied with Maggy's care during her hospital stay, the Whiles called Ascension Saint Thomas River Park hospital general surgeon Dr. Robert Christenson for his opinion on what to do next. "I might be the only person to say this, but we had to leave Nashville and come back to McMinnville to get the quality of care we needed," Maggy's father, Robert Whiles, told the Southern Standard.
Dr. Christenson suggested that the family bring Maggy in if she continued to have pain and severe vomiting. Her symptoms persisted, and they met Dr. Christenson at the hospital for examination. "He came into the room and directly spoke with Maggy about how she was feeling. She said it was the first time she felt like she was being heard. He made her feel like she was important," Detra said.
Dr. Christenson would perform surgery to remove Maggy's appendix two hours after meeting her. After waking up from surgery, Maggy immediately felt relief from the pain she had experienced the days before. "Dr. Christenson and his care team followed up with us after the surgery and after discharge. As a patient, no matter how old you are, whether you are in your teens or your forties or fifties, you want to feel heard and validated," Detra said.

- President Donald Trump's top economic advisor offered few details Tuesday when reporters pressed him for specifics about the Trump administration's plan for a "temporary payroll tax holiday."
- Larry Kudlow suggested that growth resulting from the payroll tax deduction could make up for the money lost.
- Asked how, Kudlow said, "Let us put the proposal out in concrete details and flesh that out and we'll have much better answers."
Larry Kudlow, President Donald Trump's top economic advisor, offered few details Tuesday when reporters pressed him for specifics about the administration's plan to offer economic relief from the impact of the new coronavirus through a "temporary payroll tax holiday."
Kudlow's comments at a White House briefing on the virus came hours after Trump pitched implementing a 0% payroll tax rate during a closed-door meeting with Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
That proposed tax change would last through the rest of the year, and would apply to both employers and employees, a White House official told CNBC. Kudlow confirmed those details at the briefing Tuesday evening.
The president "unveiled his proposals, strong proposals, for a temporary payroll tax cut holiday, which I think he would prefer to last through the end of the year," Kudlow said.
There was also discussion of making the payroll tax rollback permanent, an official, who declined to be named, told CNBC earlier Tuesday. Payroll taxes are used to fund Medicare and Social Security.
The White House is also considering federal assistance for the shale industry, CNBC reported, as oil prices have recently plummeted due to a price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia.
At the briefing, Kudlow suggested that growth resulting from the payroll tax deduction could make up for the potentially enormous amount of money lost.
Asked how that could be done, Kudlow said, "Let us put the proposal out in concrete details and flesh that out and we'll have much better answers."
CNBC's Eamon Javers had pointed out to Kudlow that federal payroll taxes generated $1.17 trillion in fiscal year 2018, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
"Right now I want to stay in my lane, and I think the health story, the coronavirus story, is very, very important here," Kudlow said. "We will do the best we can ... to give you specific plans and details once we flesh them out."
Kudlow was joined in the White House briefing room by other members of the coronavirus task force, led by Vice President Mike Pence, who fielded questions on the administration's response to the fast-spreading virus.
Pence assured that the risk to the average American of contracting the disease "remains low." But, Pence added, "for senior citizens with serious underlying, chronic health conditions, the potential for serious consequences is very real."
Reporters then asked how lifting the payroll tax — a potentially massive deduction, especially if applied to both employers and employees — could be done without knocking the budget off balance.
"The payroll tax holiday is a bold move. It's a very bold move and this is a bold president," Kudlow responded.
"I think there will be a big growth payoff. I think it'll help deal with whatever challenges occur in the next few months."
The payroll tax cut is intended for "ameliorating the tax burden on the middle class," Kudlow added. "That's really what the payroll tax is principally about."
"I think we're going to get a big growth kicker," he said. And while the labor market "may still a bit or not," Kudlow predicted that "I think over time we'll make it up with much better economic growth."
Markets have fluctuated wildly amid the spread of the virus. Stocks suffered through a historic sell-off Monday, but clawed back much of those losses during Tuesday's trading session.
The coronavirus, which is believed to have originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan, has quickly spread to more than 118,000 cases worldwide and has killed more than 4,200 people, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
The Trump administration and lawmakers at every level are working to contain the spread of the virus in the United States. At least 805 cases are currently confirmed in the U.S., and at least 28 people have died, according to Johns Hopkins.

Duke’s Shell re-opens on Commerce St.
Published 5:43 pm Tuesday, January 27, 2009
Downtown Greenville won’t lose one of its most popular businesses after all.
Duke’s Shell Service Center, located at 400 W. Commerce St., has re-opened under new ownership, said Jim McGowin of Max Oil Company. Max Oil is the gasoline distributor for Duke’s.
McGowin said the store was closed for approximately two weeks.

The store’s first day open under new owner Henry Schofield was Tuesday. Schofield owns a similar Shell gas station, MJ’s Food Mart and Car Wash, on 1306 E. Commerce St.
How did Schofield come to own two Shell stations?
“The oil company sort of talked me into it,” he chuckled on Tuesday. “But we just got it back opened today and it looks we’re going to do good. We’ve been real busy.”
Schofield said he plans to move his car wash business exclusively to Duke’s Shell. Duke’s also offered car washes, as well as oil changes, tire repair and replacement, and full-service and self-service gasoline.
Schofield said the name will also remain the same.

Popular American rapper, Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, popularly known as Nicki Minaj, took to Instagram to show off her growing baby bump as she shared short footage from her new collaboration with ASAP Ferg and MadeinTYO for ‘Move Ya Hips’ music video.
The 37-year-old, pregnant star who is expecting her first child by her husband Kenneth Petty, was spotted in Burberry’s monogram bikini, oversized pink sunglasses, and bling jewellery.
Nicki announced her pregnancy on 20th of July, 2020 , in an Instagram post.
She shared a gorgeous maternity photo where she was cradling her baby bump, clad in a bikini piece, and high heels with a lovely yellow curly wig.

In the photo, she showed off her full breasts, making it look like she was pregnant. As expected, congratulations have been pouring in for the singer and her husband! Read more here.


Trump Puts Biden On Notice, Floats Running For Speaker of House To Impeach Joe
Former President Trump on Friday sparked another round of speculation about his political future by suggesting that he may run for the House in 2022 to try to become Speaker of so he could launch an investigation of Joe Biden so he can impeach him.
When asked about the remote possibility, Trump said it was an interesting proposition. Trump would not have to run for the House to be named Speaker as the rules do not preclude someone not elected to Congress getting the speaker’s gavel. Radio host Wayne Allyn Root brought up the subject to Trump yesterday Steve Bannon, a former senior adviser to Trump pushed the idea. “We totally get rid of Nancy Pelosi, and the first act of President Trump as Speaker will be to impeach Joe Biden,” Bannon said.
“That’s so interesting,” Trump said. “Yeah, you know it’s very interesting,” Trump added, before saying others wanted him to run for Senate.
“But you know what, your idea might be better. It’s very interesting.”
Fox News’ Jason Chaffetz said: “Under the Constitution, you don’t need to be a member of Congress to be elected the Speaker of the House.
“So put Donald Trump in as Speaker of the House and he can go out and investigate everybody and he can impeach everybody.
“It would make for great TV”
From Business Insider:
To become Speaker of the House, Trump would not be required to win a congressional seat. The Constitution does not require the speaker to be an incumbent member of the House of Representatives, although every speaker thus far has been.
He would, however, have to flip the House of Representatives and win the support of Republican lawmakers.
Experts say Trump taking on this role is theoretically possible but “not plausible,” according to Politifact.
Trump is also said to be mulling another run for president. He told associates that he will run again in 2024 if he is healthy enough, Insider reported in late May.
Former President Donald Trump said he was intrigued by the idea of leading opposition to President Joe Biden by running for Congress and becoming speaker of the House, an idea that is gaining currency among his supporters.
The strategy was floated as Trump prepares for his return to the political spotlight at the North Carolina Republican convention on Saturday night.
It is billed as the next phase in his political career, with the resumption of rallies and speeches – as well as a long teased return to social media.
During a Friday interview, far-right radio host Wayne Allyn Root took up the idea that Trump did not have to wait for the 2024 presidential election to regain power. Instead, he could run in next year’s midterms as part of a Republican wave that retakes the House of Representatives.
‘Then you become the speaker of the House, lead the impeachment of Biden and start criminal investigations against Biden,’ said Root.
‘You’ll wipe him out for this last two years.’

I got a new road bike for my birthday and yesterday I broke it in. First of all, let me explain that a bike used for racing and those huge, mammoth bike rides are not like the bikes we ride as kids nor are they the bike you run up to Wal-mart and get for a little ride around the neighborhood. They are specifically for your height and inseam and they are designed so that you have to reach as faaaaar as your little arms will go to get to the brakes and gear shifts! Not only that, but they expect you to wear shoes with cleats to lock in your feet!
What the heck is that all about!?
My first attempt to get on the bike was just that. An attempt. I failed to get my leg thrown over the thing because the seat was too high. Got that adjusted and then I have to attempt to get a foot on the pedal, and locked in, and take off. Easier said than done. When you're standing on the ground, your seat comes to just right above your butt crack so it's not like you can just sit down and take off. Nope. You have to get one foot on and stand up to get on your seat (gotta get rolling too or you will fall and keep in mind your foot is locked in and if you start to fall you have to not forget to snap your shoe out of the pedal to catch yourself) and throw the other foot into locked position. Start pedaling!
I walked my bike to a safe area to get started. You know, the area on the bottom of the hill, past the poles (so I wont hit them), where hopefully no one can see me try to take a ride. Monday's at 6pm are busy on the trails! I managed to take off and with only a little struggle on the second cleat, I was off and riding!
I rode 12 miles on my first day with no accidents. I didn't wreck or run over anyone or get run over. I did a little off-roading by accident, but nothing major. I managed to maintain control of the vehicle at all times!
Today, I rode another 12 miles in horrid wind... and my butt bone hurts like no other! It was sore from yesterday, but today its major sore. Is there a treatment for that? Bike Butt!

Asbestos project brings 3-year term
MOUNT HOLLY – A Middlesex County man received a three-year prison term Friday for a recycling project that left hazardous asbestos strewn at the site of a former Riverside hospital.
Frank J. Rizzo, 57, of Parlin, used poorly equipped, untrained day laborers at the Zurbrugg Memorial Hospital site, the state Attorney General’s Office said in a statement. The unlicensed workers, including inmates from a halfway house in Trenton, improperly buried asbestos tiles and dumped bags of asbestos on a boiler room floor at the Filmore Street site, the statement said.
“The workers did not wear protective equipment, except for paper masks that are not authorized as safe for asbestos removal,” it added. “And they quickly removed the paper masks because the masks made it difficult to breathe.”
Asbestos, a fibrous element once widely used for its insulating qualities, has been linked to lung cancer and other serious illnesses.
Rizzo pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge in January 2014, saying workers removed asbestos without a license and disposed of it illegally between August 2010 and March 2011.
He was a project organizer for South Street Fillit Recycling, owned by co-defendant Michael Kouvaras of Maplewood, Essex County.
Kouvaras, 62, was sentenced last year to 364 days in county jail and three years’ probation. He also pleaded guilty in Superior Court, Mount Holly, saying he had violated the state’s Asbestos Control and Licensing Act.
The two men “expected a big payday from recycling the copper and steel at this hospital site,” said Acting Attorney General John Hoffman.
“But when they learned the cost of properly removing the hazardous asbestos that stood in their way, they callously put their profits ahead of the health and safety of the public and their own workers.”
An engineering report, provided to Rizzo and Kouvaras before the project, “identified extensive asbestos” at the hospital complex, which opened in 1935. State and federal laws have extensive requirements to prevent the release of toxic asbestos dust and debris.
Authorities said the men hired a licensed contractor, who provided government officials with the required notice of its plan to remove asbestos. But the licensed firm, which estimated its services would cost $220,000, received only a few thousand dollars toward its 10 percent down payment.
The asbestos contractor worked just one day at the site, removing a small amount of asbestos.
State investigators discovered unsafe conditions at the Riverside site during a raid in March 2011. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency took control of the site and completed a cleanup.
