LOUISVILLE – The most important Derby drill yesterday morning took place not at Churchill Downs, but at Belmont Park, where trainer Jim Bond breezed Wood Memorial winner Buddha six furlongs in a solid 1:13.2 over the sloppy training track, with the “dogs” (pylons) up 15 feet from the inner rail.
“It was a great work,” said Bond, who’s never saddled a Derby horse before. “It was dark and wet, but he came out of it fine. We’re right on schedule.”
Buddha will leave New York this evening and van to Kentucky, arriving tomorrow morning. Pat Day has the mount.
A pair of colts, both outsiders, worked yesterday at Churchill over an off-track.
Wild Horses, runner-up in the Rushaway Stakes and Arkansas Derby his last two starts, went five furlongs in 1:01.1, coming home the last half-mile in :48.
“He had his mind on business,” exercise rider Cindy Hutter said. “He wasn’t tired at all.”
Wild Horses is a son of Saint Ballado, second as the favorite in the ’97 Derby. He’ll be the seventh horse to run in the Derby in the past three years for trainer Todd Pletcher, who sent out longshots Impeachment to run third in ’00 and Invisible Ink to be second last year.
It’sallinthechase, third in the Louisiana Derby in March but a distant ninth in the Arkansas Derby last out, worked five furlongs in 1:01.3 under jockey Eddie Martin Jr., who’ll ride him in the Derby. He galloped out six furlongs in 1:14.
“The track was nice and tight and he handled it well,” Martin said. “I know this colt has stamina, he’s feeling good and like this track. It’s a wide-open race and I think we’ve got a shot.”
Trained by Wilson Brown, It’sallinthechase already has raced 14 times (winning twice), more than any other horse in the field.

WOOSTER — The Wayne County Health Department says a single Wooster nursing home has accounted for more than half of the COVID-19 cases in the county and all the local deaths from the virus so far.
The health agency reported that 10 residents and 10 staff members at Glendora Health Care Center, 1552 N. Honeytown Road, have been diagnosed with the coronavirus. Five of its residents have died.
Wayne County had 37 cases overall and 12 hospitalizations as of Friday afternoon, according to the Ohio Department of Health.
The Glendora figures include people who have tested positive for the virus, and probable cases diagnosed by a clinician, county Health Commissioner Nicholas Cascarelli said Friday.
“This is an extremely unfortunate situation and certainly our sympathies are with the deceased family and friends,” Cascarelli said in a prepared statement. “We will continue to work with the nursing home and work on preventing further cases and deaths.”
The health agency is working with the nursing home to identify people who have been in close contact with patients who have the virus, and quarantining at-risk individuals.
“Nursing homes are hot spots for this potentially deadly disease,” Cascarelli added.
A woman at Glendora Health Care Center, who identified herself as the administrator, said the information given by the health department was not accurate.
"I can tell you that's not the case,” she said. “I'm not sure where they're getting their information. Up until this point, we have not decided to make any sort of comment to the media because we've been dealing with it with all of our residents, staff members and their families."
Glendora has 49 certified beds, according to the U.S. Department for Medicare.
Progressive Quality Care, based in Parma, is the parent corporation of Glendora and oversees 12 Northeast Ohio nursing homes, including The Avenue at Wooster. Brothers Shaul and Eitan Flank, along with their brother-in-law Joel Sausen, are the listed as the owners of Progressive Quality Care on the company’s website.
Cascarelli said that the Ohio Department of Health on Thursday changed how it defines a COVID-19 case. Previously, cases could be confirmed only through testing, but now doctors can diagnose a patient if they believe it’s probable the person has COVID-19.
“We have 20 cases (at Glendora),” Cascarelli said in a phone interview Friday. “Not all of those are confirmed, because the definition for a case changed. Some of those could be presumptive. If a clinician deems they’re a probably COVID-19 case, they would be included in that number.”

Under this updated definition, Cascarelli said he expects to see the number of reported cases, and deaths, rise.
The four Wayne County residents whose COVID-19 deaths were reported Friday were: an 83-year-old female, a 72-year-old female, an 81 year-old male and an 84-year-old female. Only one of those people was hospitalized, Cascarelli said. A 71-year-old man who had been hospitalized with the coronavirus was the first reported virus-related death in the county on Wednesday.
The family of 71-year-old Robert Campbell, a Vietnam veteran, identified him as the first death and said that he had been staying at Glendora before being taken to Wooster Community Hospital.
His stepdaughter Tammy Turpin and her sister Kimberly Rew, 38, had to say goodbye to their father over the phone, as they were not allowed into his room at the hospital before he died. Turpin said it’s not the way anyone should have to say goodbye to a family member.
“It’s not the way you want to do this,” she said.
The deaths reported on Friday occurred between Sunday and Thursday, Cascarelli added.
“Some of those before were not confirmed cases, but they’re considered cases now, with the new definition,” he said.
The Wayne County Health Department said it would not release any additional information out of respect for privacy of the families impacted.
The Ohio Department of Health has reported there have been 231 total deaths statewide, as of Friday afternoon.

“Isn’t this way too short?”
I’ve never heard of a maid’s uniform that’s above the knees in length.
That perverted pest…
Well, it’s okay. It’s only for now anyway.
When I walked out of the room, I saw an unfamiliar woman about my age standing there. I could tell she was a maid because she was wearing the same clothes as me.
From the way she was standing, she didn’t seem to be an educated maid. She was probably one of the girls who were kidnapped from the village.
“I… erm, I was told to be your educator…”
The woman who approached me with a frightened look was apparently my educator.
It’s good that they just don’t throw me in a situation where I don’t know what to do, but then I wish they would be honest in everything else they do.
“My name is Annette…”
“I am Elle. I’m pleased to have made your acquaintance.”
“Y, yes. L, likewise.”
When I held out my hand, she shook it cautiously.
At that moment, I froze. I could see the whip marks on her wrists through her long sleeves. And it wasn’t just one or two. There were many. They were long as earthworms, and from how swollen they looked, some must have been inflicted just recently.
“This… what happened to you?”
“… Umm, nothing… nothing happened.”
She was about to say something but stopped, probably because of the butler who was approaching from behind me.
“What are you doing, get to work quickly!”
“Y, yes! I’m sorry, sir!”
My heart hurt when I saw Annette frantically bowing her head over and over again.
I have to free her go as soon as possible.
“Annette, it’s your service day today.”
He told us again to get on with the work and walked away. When I looked at Annette’s face after glaring at his back, I could see that her face had paled to a pitiful degree.
I can make out what the service day was just by looking at her.
How much of a jerk can he really be?
“Annette, please give me your hands.”
When I held her hands and cast a healing spell, all the wounds that were visible through the gap of her clothes disappeared.
I can only heal wounds on the body, though. I can’t heal the wounds that were inflicted on her mentally.
“It’s a secret that I healed it for you, okay?”
Annette’s eyes opened wide in disbelief. I laughed as I held up my index finger in front of my mouth.
I’m not going to let that butler freak know that I can use magic.
“Thank you so much…!”
I shook my head as Annette clutched my hands and thanked me, almost crying.
“It’s me who should be thanking you for telling me so much.”
According to Annette, our work was rather ordinary: cleaning, doing the laundry, and meal preparation.
Except for the evening service, of course.
Since it was close to evening, my work was finished rather quickly. I ate a meal in my room, and all that was left was to sleep. But I couldn’t help but be concerned about Annette.
“Let’s go see for a little.”
I unfolded the paper Uncle Urbain had given me at the tavern and checked where Baptiste’s bedroom is.
As I left my room and arrived in front of Baptiste’s room, I heard an unpleasant noise. I opened the door a little and peeked inside to see an unbelievable sight.
Annette, who was stark naked, was getting whipped.
I thought I had healed all her wounds. But now I see that her body was covered with countless scars.
I wondered how long she had been whipped for already.
I regret not coming here earlier.
“You really are a worthless piece of garbage…”
I bit the inside of my mouth until I could taste blood.
Something like this didn’t hurt. Because Annette was feeling much more pain all this time.
“Let’s crush you right away.”
When I opened the door with great force, both Baptiste and Annette looked at me in surprise.
“Good evening, Mr. Pest.”
Well then, let’s start the extermination.

Dalhousie Labour Tigers Rise
*This article appeared in the summer edition of the Union Stand
By standing together, Dalhousie University Support Staff, Local 77/Local 92-77 was able to reach an agreement that maintains and improves their pensions over time.
Heading into this round of bargaining, Dalhousie initially tried to scare members into accepting concessions in their collective agreement by claiming enrollment would be down significantly because of COVID. Dalhousie also wanted to use the CPP enhancements to their own benefit at the expense of our members. However, the Bargaining Committee knew the university experienced a record year of enrollment in 2020/2021. Dalhousie, in fact, has a balanced budget with millions of dollars in reserves from previous years’ surpluses. As well, the provincial government provided Dalhousie with $9.5 million in extra funding to address COVID-related expenses. So, although the employer did not want to move from their position, which would have negatively impacted our members’ pensions. In the end, to reach an agreement and avoid a strike– they did just that.
Bargaining was tough. At times, a strike seemed imminent. Members organized a phone bank and, in the hours leading up to the strike, they were in the process of activating the Steward network and organizing Picket Captains. But, because the Bargaining Committee was creative and open to alternatives, they were able to reach an agreement that improves their pension over the years to come.
This agreement was hard fought at the bargaining table. The threat of a strike was real and palpable. That strength gave the bargaining committee power at the table and resulted in the best agreement possible. Thank you to the Bargaining Committee for their strength and knowledge of their collective agreement: Pauline Fraser, John Kyle, Cherilyn MacIntosh, Tammy Zinck, and Cheryl Paris. Staff who supported and helped to lead the team were: Darryl Warren, Chief Negotiator, our former Executive Director Robin MacLean who provided wise leadership through negotiations and Lori Smith, our Education/Organizing Officer who was working to prepare the local for a strike if it came to that. It was a difficult round of bargaining, but we did it! •

Exhaust Gas Sensor YDGS-01
The Sensor measures the temperature of extremely hot gases, solids and liquids within the range from 0 to +800 °C (+32 to 1472 °F). The Sensor can be configured by the user to display data as “Exhaust gas temperature”, “Air temperature”, “Heating system temperature”, “Engine room temperature”, etc. The Device is plug and play; you only need to plug it into a NMEA 2000 backbone to get readings on all chart plotters.
The Sensor measures the temperature of extremely hot gases, solids and liquids within the range from 0 to +800 °C (+32 to 1472 °F).
The Exhaust Gas Sensor is designed not only for exhaust gas. With factory settings it transmits measured data as “Air Temperature” (because this data type is supported in all chart plotters), but can be reconfigured to display “Exhaust Gas Temperature”, “Heating System Temperature”, “Engine Room Temperature”, etc.
The Device is plug and play; you only need to plug it into a NMEA 2000 backbone to get readings on all NMEA 2000 chart plotters and instruments onboard.
Temperature is measured by the thermocouple which is placed outside the Sensor case and has a flexible 90-cm (3 foot) sheath with an internal heat-resistant fiberglass insulation layer. The trade-off for such a wide temperature range is that the accuracy is ±5.5 Celsius in the range up to 330 °Celsius (and much better below 100 °Celsius), and at the upper limit (800 °C) the accuracy is ±11.5 Celsius.
If you need better accuracy, we can recommend our Digital Thermometer YDTC-13, which has ±0.5 °C measurement error and a range from −55 to +125 Celsius (−67 to +257 °F).
The Sensor can be configured by user to turn on or off specified channels of digital switching equipment. For example, it can automatically turn on the ventilation or trigger an alarm when the temperature in the engine room is too high, and also turn it off when the temperature returns to normal (see Section VIII of the Manual for details).

Yacht Devices are shipped Free via Air Mail directly from the manufacturer in Europe. Expected delivery is 2-3 weeks from receipt of order. Duty and import costs, if applicable, are not included in the price.
The Barometer is intended for measuring atmospheric pressure within the range from 300 to 1100 hPa (mbar). The sensor is located inside the device case. Many chartplotters and digital navigation instruments are able to display data on pressure in the form of graphs or show a trend indicator; this allows tracking of trends in the weather change. The Device dimensions, including the connector, are 54x20x20mm, the mass is only 11 grams, so it is suitable for racing yachts. Pressure data output resolution 0.01 hPa (mbar), absolute measurement accuracy is ±1 hPa, relative measurement accuracy is ±0.12 hPa.

Duke Blue Devils
15 returning starters (11 offense, 4 defense)
Key Players: RB Re’Quan Boyette, QB Thad Lewis, WR Jomar Wright, WR
Raphael Chestnut, WR Eron Riley, DE Patrick Bailey, DT Vince Oghobaase, CB
Jabari Marshall, FS Chris Davis, SS Adrian Aye-Darko
Duke returns all 11 starters on offense. They showed a lot of promise
throwing the football last year, with Thad Lewis passing for 2,134 yards as a
true freshman, but the offensive line was terrible and held the offense back
quite a bit.
Duke’s defense was pretty solid last season, although they’ll probably
struggle this year. Cornerback John Talley, who had 18 interceptions in his
career, is gone. Over the weekend the defense suffered a major blow when middle
linebacker Michael Tauiliili was arrested for driving while impaired, failing to
stop after an accident, assault, assault by pointing a gun, and carrying a
concealed weapon. Tauiliili has been suspended indefinitely by head coach Ted
Tauiliili made 94 tackles, with 10 tackles for loss last season. As a true
freshman in 2005, he had 92 tackles and 10 tackles for loss. He is one of the
ACC’s most underrated linebackers, and he’s a huge loss for the Blue Devils.
Duke has a solid group of experienced wide receivers, and they should have a
decent passing game this year. Jomar Wright led the team in receiving last year
with 40 receptions, while Raphael Chestnut hauled in 39 passes. Eron Riley has
good size at 6-3, 200, and he had 32 receptions while averaging 20.1 yards per
catch. Back in 2005, he averaged 22.5 yards per catch, so he is truly a big play
Sophomore quarterback Thad Lewis has talent, although he struggled with
turnovers last season. But he was a true freshman playing behind by far the
worst offensive line in the ACC. He’ll be better in 2007, and so will his
Although they return all five starters, the Duke offensive line has to be
considered not only the weak link of the offense, but of the entire team. The
team’s leading rusher had just 388 yards last season, and as a team the Blue
Devils averaged just 2.9 yards per carry. They also couldn’t pass block,
allowing 40 sacks in just 12 games.
However, they should be better this year. All five starters are back. Duke
has had to replace four starters up front in each of the previous three seasons,
so there has never been any continuity there. This year, there is, and there is
also a little depth present. This should be an improved unit.
Duke will have a good starting defensive line in 2007. The Blue Devils have
recruited well up front. Defensive tackle Vince Oghobaase was a blue chip
recruit who was recruited by Miami, Oklahoma and Texas A&M. He started as a
r-freshman last season and had eight tackles for loss despite not being 100%. At
6-6, 310, he’s physically imposing, and he could have a breakout year if he
Besides Oghobaase, Duke also has defensive end Ayanga Okpokowuruk, a
sophomore who was recruited by UNC, Tennessee and Georgia Tech. Defensive tackle
Clifford Respress was recruited by Auburn. Senior defensive end Patrick Bailey
also returns, and he has 17.5 career tackles for loss. The Blue Devils should
have a pretty good front four this year, but unfortunately they no longer have
that ball hawking middle linebacker in Tauiliili.
This was going to be the secondary, but with the loss of Tauiliili, it’s the
linebackers. Marcus Jones, who started one game at quarterback and two at wide
receiver last season, could be the starter on the strong side. The weak side
linebacker is likely to be Tim Ball, who was a running back until last season.
The middle linebacker spot is currently unknown with Tauililli out, and the
listed backup is junior Alfred Williams, who has 10 career tackles. If this
group plays well, Duke will have a good front seven. But if the linebackers
aren’t up to snuff, the front four isn’t going to look as good as they actually
Duke isn’t going to win very many games this year, but they probably will
scratch the win column a time or two, possibly as many as three times. The best
chances for wins are the first game of the season, and the last game. The Blue
Devils host UConn in their season opener and travel to North Carolina on
November 24. Duke lost to UNC 45-44 last season, thanks to a missed extra point.
The Blue Devils were close in some other games last year as well. They lost
to eventual ACC Champion Wake Forest 14-13 when their last second game-winning
field goal attempt was blocked. They lost to Miami 20-15 when Thad Lewis was
intercepted in the end zone on the game-winning drive. They even led Alabama
14-10 late in the third quarter before running out of gas.
So Duke was close on quite a few occasions last year, but a bad offensive
line and no depth held them back. With 44 lettermen returning, they should have
some wins in 2007.
Will Stewart’s Take
You may (or may not) remember that Duke football had a big summit a few
months back in which 275 former players met with the current players, coaches,
and administrators to have a big pow-wow about Duke football, and whether or not
it can ever succeed. Part of me thinks that the summit was called because of the
2006 success of Wake Forest, the ACC champions.
If it can be done at Wake Forest, can it be done at Duke? That is, of course,
the logical question, but when you examine the two programs, it’s not apples and
apples. Duke won just 18 games in the ten-year stretch from 1996-2005, whereas
Wake won 46.
In 2006, Wake won 11 and Duke won 0, increasing that gap to 57-18 over 11
years. Everyone used to group Wake and Duke together, often referring to the
pair as "Duke Forest," but it’s clear now that you can’t do that. The
programs aren’t just miles apart now; they were miles apart before last season.
And that’s about all you can say about Duke. Duke will become interesting
when they start winning, and we’re not talking about a lot. Duke hasn’t won more
than four games since 1994, so if they reach five or six wins in a season, it’ll
be news. If they go to a bowl game, it’ll be stop-the-presses news.
But until then, Duke football is just a ten-car pileup on the interstate.
It’s a disaster of unusual proportions. But people slow down and look at ten-car
pileups, and they make the news. No one’s paying much attention to Duke.

Obituary of General Sir Arthur Currie
The (London) Times
Friday, December 01, 1933
Transcribed by: marc
SIR ARTHUR CURRIE
General Sir Arthur Currie, Principal of McGill University, Montreal, whose death the age of 57 we announce to-day, will be chiefly remembered as Commander of Canadian Corps in France during the last months of the Great War. Like Sir John Monash, the Australian Commander of the Australian forces in the field, Currie rose to high rank by sheer merit and hard work, and his administrative capacity as well as his leadership brought out all the best that was in the troops under his command. He was a big man, well built, and looking every inch a soldier. Though he had seen no active service before the War, he had been long before an energetic member of the Militia force in the Far West of Canada, and it is largely through his enthusiasm that the volunteer movement gained a popularity in the city of Victoria on Vancouver island that it did not have in some the larger cities of the Dominion. All the time that he could spare was given to the work of recruiting and drilling his Militiamen and studying tactics, and in examinations for promotion he always came out with high honours.
Currie became Commander of the Canadian Corps in France in the summer 1917, succeeding Sir Julian Byng, later Lord Byng of Vimy and Governor-General of Canada, who was then promoted to the command of the Third Army. It was the proud boast of the Canadians after Currie took command tat they never failed to take a single objective and were never driven out of a single position which they had once consolidated. From August 8, 1918, when they attacked from Amiens alongside the Australians - the day which Ludendorff admitted was the turning point in the War – right up to the last moment of the fighting on November 11, the Canadian push vas irresistible. Each new position gained was but the launching point for another drive. The forcing of the switch line, Queant-Drocourt, broke the Hindenburg line and made possible the ending of the War before winter set in. Beyond that the Canadians pushed on through Valenciennes, and finally, just as he last hour of fighting came, they reached the town of Mons, the scene of he gallant stand by the "Old Contemptibles" in August, 1914. It was a race against time to reach Mons, but Currie did so by the hour of the Armistice, preferring, like the Americans, to take no chances before hostilities actually ceased. Thereafter Canadian troops formed part of the Army of Occupation, and Currie was in command at Bonn till he came to London to superintend the demobilization.
Arthur William Currie was born on December 5, 1875, at Napperton, Adelaide Township, in Middlesex County, Ontario, the son of William Garner Currie and his wife, Jane Patterson, both of whom were Canadian born, their forebears having migrated from Scotland and Ulster. He spent his boyhood and early youth on his father's farm, attending the local public school and the Strathroy Collegiate Institute, and at 18 years of age he secured certificates as a school teacher. In 1894 he left Ontario to seek his fortune in the West; after two years as schoolmaster at Sidney, Vancouver Island, he accepted a position in the public schools of Victoria, B.C., where he taught for three and a half years.
It was during this period, on May 6, 1897, that he enlisted in the Militia as a gunner in the 5th Regiment, Canadian Garrison Artillery. He received his first commission in January, 1901, in the same regiment, was promoted captain in 1902, major in May, 1906, and lieutenant-colonel commanding, September, 1909, to November, 1913. While energetically interested in every kind of artillery work, his hobby was rifle shooting, and he became president of the B.C. Rifle Association in 1907; in 1912 and 1913 his regiment led the Garrison Artillery of Canada in both general efficiency and target practice. In November, 1913, he took a leading part in raising the 50th (Gordon) Highlanders in Victoria, and was placed in command ; he simultaneously attended the Militia Staff Course and qualified in March, 1914. The whole trend of his civil career had meanwhile been entirely altered in 1900, when hi abandoned the teaching profession and opened an insurance business, which hi expanded after seven years to include rea estate and brokerage.
When the War broke out he was one o the first to volunteer, and was given command of the 2nd Infantry Brigade in the first Canadian contingent, which crossed to this country in October, 1914 When General Alderson gave up the command of the 1st Canadian Division Currie succeeded him, and held that position till in June, 1917, he was appointed Commander of the Canadian Corps. He took part in that terrible battle at Ypres in 1915 when the Germans launched the first poison gas attack. Under Curry the Canadians stood manfully to the positions, and by their resolute resistance helped to avert a defeat to the British armies which would have given the Germans command of the Channel ports. He was again prominent in the offensive on the Somme and Vimy Ridge, where the Canadians won deathless fame. Currie's capacity at leadership attracted attention everywhere and decorations were showered on him. When he returned to Canada he was received with high honour. He was promoted to the permanent rank of General and appointed Inspector-General of the Forces in Canada, and for a year was chiefly occupied with the reorganization of the Militia.
A few months later, in 1920, Currie was chosen Principal of McGill University. There he was welcomed as the most representative Canadian of the War. Many felt that his lack of experience in university affairs might be a handicap to him, but he soon showed that his power of organization and his understanding men, especially young men, more than made up for that disadvantage. That administrative ability which was the basis of his leadership in the War he turned easily to the service of his new responsibilities. With no professional bias, he had a natural faculty for choosing. the best advisers, and he brought from the Army the habit of loyally supporting his staff. Under him the great Canadian university prospered anew, materially as well as intellectually, and a campaign which was launched for further endowments to the amount of a million dollars was successful within a week's time.
General Currie was created a C.B. after “Second Ypres,” 1915; K.C.M.G. after Vimy, 1917 ; K.C.B. for his leadership at Passchendaele towards the close of the war; and G.C.M.G. at the end of the war. He was mentioned nine times in
dispatches, and received numerous foreign orders. Honorary degrees were conferred on him by many British and American universities, and he was a trustee of the Carnegie Foundation. He married, in 1901, Lucy Sophia, daughter of Mr. William Chaworth Chaworth-Musters, of Nottingham, and had a son and a daughter.
In Currie has passed a great Canadian whose service to Canada and the Empire was conspicuous and will never be forgotten. As a soldier he won high distinction, not for himself alone, but for the Canadian Corps under his command. I was brought into intimate touch with him during the agony of that conflict, and my high regard deepened into sincere affection and warm admiration. Since the peace his service has also been notable as Principal of a great University. Not only in achievement and example, but in penetrating thought devoted to his country's welfare and couched in eloquent expression, he has given of his best to Canada and the Commonwealth. Deeply and sincerely he will be mourned by all true Canadians, but especially by those who on the plains of France and Flanders learned to know the true meaning of comradeship and sacrifice.
The Prime Minister, Mr. Bennett, alluded to Sir Arthur Currie's distinguished record as a soldier whose successes marked him as one of the outstanding generals of the Great War, and to his concern after the War for returned soldiers and their dependents. He said:
Currie proved himself a courageous and resourceful commander, possessed of great initiative and confidence in his troops, coupled with an uncanny grasp of the real factors of strategic situations, which enabled him to achieve great successes. It might be said that ht exemplified and interpreted the War-time genius of the Canadian people.

Waiting in Cosmic Limbo and The Darkness of the Womb
As I write this, the vision of a beautiful hawk flies above, in her freedom as my spirit joins her in her flight of freedom. I feel my spirit flying with her high above and here I go. What are the next steps when in transition I ask the goddess. When your in the end of a cycle and yet the next cycle has not began or manifested. What has been the catalyst for change in myself and to transform and what about you? what are your changes? For me it seems to be the season of fall. I have felt the change since coming back from Washington.There seems to have been an energy that I have felt since before the Equinox and then the new moon. I also had some soul clearing healing work that cleared trauma since the womb of my human mother. What was the instigation of change and what went into the cauldron of rebirth. The gestation period this endless waiting and waiting to change form. I am shape shifter and I am not quite aware of my new form taking place, but I am getting a sense of who I will be. The weaver is reweaving the aspects of my life and my form.The cycle of life and it plays out in many ways in our own lives. Transformation and the courage to change and I have felt my death. I have went through a major transformation and into the underworld I went. I went through the dark goddess journey to survive into my beautiful new form. It was major changes in my life on a grand scale and within this change has been mini rebirths. I felt the labor pains and went through the painful labor process and was reborn and was not stillborn. I have built the foundation of a new way of being. I am a shining new light being who was reborn. It was time to leave the womb and break out of the crysalis and fly high in all my glory. Within this process occured mini processes of the same thing many rebirths within one big rebirth. I meet the tests of many spiritual iniations into many sheddings and I heard the snake as she made her cry known into the spirit ears of mine. The trip for me was a catalyst but also the prep work to get me ready to meet the spiritual work taking place on the trip. Many changes were occuring for me and still are. The energy was building and bubbling over in the waters of life in my inner cauldron. The trip was the climax of energies and the affects were after the trip.My spirit is still swinging between the dimensions as I gather, process and intergrate my new awarenesses. The goddess wanted to re-make my form and lift the veils from eyes. I am in the process of waiting for this new magickal form. The thing is, that I am creating my new form in a co-created process with the goddess, who do I want to become. This is the time of puification, cleansing to create from a new healed space. It is the creation of the new cycle and when you purify you let go so that the newly created is better than the old.We are in the fall of our lives and a time of purification and clearing before the new year and what are you creating? and what are you becoming? do you have the courage to change? Hear the call of the Snake and see the vulture and fly with the hawk in your new found freedom of rebith.

There is a large philosophical arena that focuses on the first part of this question. And basically, it comes down to "persons intervening intentionally". Persons commit actions. Persons have beliefs, desires, intentions, plans, and goals; they have reasons for what they do; they have emotions and aversions; they have habits. Persons also have freedom: they have the ability to choose to act or not to act, in typical circumstances.
These components all support the idea of the agent as a conscious, intentional intervener: the agent intervenes in the world in some way, in order to bring about an outcome that he/she desires or intends, based on her beliefs about the causal relationships that exist between the intervention and the outcome. Purpose, beliefs, freedom to choose, and selected intervention fit together as an integrated ideal type of "action".
This construction fits together into the Aristotelian idea of purposive action, or rational-intentional action. But consider a few variations of individual behavior that seem to cut in a different direction: behavior following a script, reflexive or instinctive behavior, impulsive behavior, self-destructive behavior, self-deceptive behavior, possessed behavior, coerced behavior. In each instance we lose an element that plays a key role in the purposive/intentional description of action above: self-direction, intentionality, self-control, rational goals and purposes, and freedom. We might take these instances to describe cases of behavior that fall short of "action"; or we might hold that there is a range of degrees of intentionality associated with action, from fully free and deliberative choice to programmed or impulsive behaviors.
So the traditional rational-intentional theory of action remains a partial view. In addition to rational-intentional action and its variants, we can think of a range of other varieties that have little in common with this goal-directed model: expressive action, role-driven action, dramaturgical action, emotional action, .... (I believe that Bourdieu's conception of habitus falls in this general domain.) Here we have a number of paradigms of action that we can observe in everyday life, that provide an intelligible understanding of "what is she doing, and why?", and that appear to have a fundamentally different structure from the rational-intentional model. These actions express or enact rather than aim; or if they have an aim, it is to create a certain effect in the viewer.
We thus need to broaden the definition of action. We might say more generally that "action" is a particular construction of "behavior" -- it is an event of individual behavior that derives from a person's mentality (as opposed to a conditioned response, a reflex, or a Manchurian candidate device). But the facts about mentality that can underlie an action are diverse: purposes, goals, allegiances, passions, features of identity, a sense of history, and aspects of role self-ascription, for example.
Now turn to the question of interpretation. The wide range of possible mental contexts of behavior means that the task of interpretation is a challenging one. The intellectual task of interpretation is to arrive at an understanding of the agent's behavior as action. This means arriving at a theory or construction attributing mental states to the actor that come together in such a way as to produce the action that was performed. Perhaps we might interpret Richard Nixon's final year in office as the resultant of several distinct mental activities and states: self-deception, rational calculation, an emotional unwillingness to be defeated, and a degree of weakness of the will. Or consider Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie's interpretation of the actions of dozens of people in a massacre in Romans in 1580 in Le Carnaval De Romans De La Chandeleur. The actions seem prima facie incomprehensible; so the historian's task is to arrive at an interpretation of the beliefs, impulses, group dynamics, and practices that existed at the time in the context of which the actions "make sense." (See Paul Ricoeur and John Thompson's Hermeneutics and the Human Sciences: Essays on Language, Action and Interpretation.)
If we take the view that social outcomes are ultimately the result of the actions of individuals, then we plainly need to have a more nuanced and satisfactory framework of analysis within which to understand "action". Rational-choice theory is one such framework; Aristotelian theory of deliberation is a somewhat broader framework. But it is plain that the origins, motives, dynamics, and meanings of individual actions are broader and more heterogeneous than these rational-intentional theories would suggest. Purposive action is an important part of the story of social action -- but it is only a part.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has said that the party will work towards making sure the Senate chairman is not from the ruling party and would like to see the Upper House helmed by someone from Balochistan.
Speaking to media in Peshawar, the PTI chief said his party will try their hardest that the Senate chairman is not from Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), as for the past one and a half year, the party’s only aim has been to save the “corrupt Sharif family.”
Stating that the party will be having a meeting tomorrow to discuss whose name they want to give as Senate chairman, Imran added it would be good to see someone from Balochistan as the chairman.
Talking about alleged horse-trading in the Senate elections, the PTI chief said that the current system of secret ballots promotes the buying and selling of votes.
“For years, votes are being sold and we all know they are being sold. Democracy and Senate is being discredited,” he added.
Saying PTI has asked for reforms to put an end to horse-trading, Imran alleged that up to Rs40 million have been given for a single vote.
“We know who gave the money, but we don’t know who took it. This is what secret ballots do, it promotes corruption. They [lawmakers] make money without being caught.”
Imran further said that inquiry would be held within PTI to investigate who took money from within the party.
On Tuesday, speaking to The Express Tribune, PTI lawmakers privy to the development revealed that the party was aware of the names but had agreed on keeping them confidential until the inquiry into ‘horse-trading’ was completed. They added that those found guilty will face disciplinary actions.
Turning the issue to women, the PTI chief stated that he wants women to give input on the issues the party should be raising and talking about.
He further stated women participation is lesser in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa when compared to other provinces and that the party would be working on different campaigns to work towards increasing female voter participation.

The success for BTS’ continue to pile up as they took home two awards at this years Billboard Music Awards.
They won in 2 categories, the Top Duo/Group and Top Social Artist’s (An award they have won before). Winning the awards was one part of a two part exciting night. Their live performance was spectacular.
RM the band’s leader and best English speaker said,
“Thank you, Army. Still can’t believe we’re here on this stage with so many great artists, oh my god,” as he accepted the top duo/group award.
“We’re still the same boys from six years ago. We still have the same dreams,” he said before adding, “Thank you. I love you all.”
The star-studded show also saw pop heavyweights like Madonna, Mariah Carey and Taylor Swift perform. Drake took home the coveted top artist award.
Wednesday’s achievement was the latest in a series of record-breaking feats the group has achieved including having three US No. 1 albums in a year, matched by only two other artists — The Beatles and The Monkees in the 1960s.
“Unlike the buzz around Psy which fizzled out after climaxing, the fact that they won not just one but two awards shows BTS is getting even more popular than last year or the year before.”


“Tell it to the E-R” on Monday contained yet another comment saying no sales tax increase would be generated by the expansion of Wal-Mart. I have a suggestion, actually several, for that person or any person who believes that statement to be true.
1) Look at your receipt the next time you purchase “groceries” from any source. 2) Review the first and second quarter sales tax updates that are posted at the City of Chico Web site (www.ci.chico.ca.us) under the Finance Department. Food Maxx, Raley’s, Safeway and Winco are all listed. 3) Only 42 percent of the Wal-Mart expansion was to be devoted to “groceries.” The rest, except for grocery warehouse space, was devoted to general merchandise sales. 4) Review the articles that can be found at: www: walmartwatch.com/battlemart and www: the unionlabelblog.com (SEIU, Acorn and the White House). 5) Review campaign donations received by our current council members. 6) Review the City’s 10-year financial plan and see red ink for all of the next 10 years (including a deficit of more than $1.7 million for next year). Then attend at least one council meeting and ask them how they now intend to fix that problem.
— Stephanie L. Taber, Chico


TSAMTO, May 25. Lockheed Martin Corporation announced the delivery of the first batch of PAC-3 MSE (Missile Segment Enhancement) interceptor missiles to Sweden as part of a contract signed in 2018 for the supply of Patriot air defense systems.
The PAC-3 MSE is equipped with a dual-pulse solid-fuel rocket engine, which provides improved performance in both altitude and range. The SUHR ensures that the target is hit with a direct hit (hit-to-kill). The powerplant and improved airframe provide the missile with greater maneuverability when intercepting faster tactical ballistic missiles and cruise missiles.
As reported by TSAMTO, on August 2, 2018, the Swedish government, after summing up the results of the tender, authorized the Swedish Armed Forces Material Support Agency (FMV) to conclude a contract with the US authorities for the supply of four air defense system batteries/About the Patriot, missiles, related equipment and spare parts. The aim of the project is to supply the Swedish Armed Forces with a new missile defense/air defense system, which should be fully operational no later than 2025.
In February 2018, the US Department of State approved the potential delivery to Sweden under the Foreign Military Sales program of four upgraded Patriot air defense systems in the PAC-3 + configuration, including the AN/MPQ-65 radar, 12 M903 launchers, 100 MIM-104E (GEM-T) missiles, 200 PAC-3 MSE (Missile Segment Enhancement) missiles, and other equipment and services. The full value of the sale was estimated at $ 3.2 billion.
In early August 2018, representatives of the governments of Sweden and the United States signed a letter of offer and acceptance of the offer to purchase the Patriot basic kit. The final cost of the agreement is not disclosed, however, as previously reported, the cost of the initial package should be about $ 1.2 billion. The cost of the US State Department-approved sales kit is significantly higher, since the FMV request specified the most complete list of equipment for equipping 4 batteries.
In particular, at the first stage, it is planned to purchase a minimum package of missiles necessary for the organization of combat duty and training of personnel. In the future, an option for the supply of the main batch of missiles may be implemented, which will increase the sale value to $ 3 billion.
The initial contract worth $ 692.9 million for the supply of Patriot air defense systems to the Swedish Armed Forces was signed with Raytheon in December 2018.

Experts from your School of Cambridge have discovered a incomprehensible trend influencing Globe’s rotation and motion. This kind of effect is called the Coriolis effect and may even explain the opposite rotation guidelines of cyclones. It also makes up about the difference in cyclone rotation directions in the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
To understand the rotation of the Earth, we must first understand the idea of time. The rotation depends upon two components: the gravitational force on the Sun and the Earth’s brown crust area. The Earth’s rotation axis rotates https://northcentralrotary.org/2021/07/13/generated-post-2 as the entire world moves around the Sun and the Celestial body overhead, and both systems cause modifications in our rotation charge.

For Driesell, a June Night Altered the Rules
By Tony Kornheiser
Finally, the question is answered. It now appears that after 17 years at College Park, Driesell has coached his last basketball game at the University of Maryland. Sources at Maryland say negotiations are under way and are expected to result in Driesell being reassigned to another campus position, possibly as athletic fund raiser.
There is sadness in his going. For so long now he has been the symbol -- for better and for worse -- of Maryland athletics. He was brought there to fill seats and win games, and he did just that. He did it year after year in the country's best basketball conference, and he did it within the rules. He did not cheat. There is much about Driesell that Maryland can and should be justly proud of.
But the decision to separate him from the troubled basketball program is right and proper. Of the 12 student-athletes on last year's Maryland basketball team, one is dead from cocaine intoxication, two others were indicted on charges of possessing cocaine and obstructing justice, five had flunked out of school and another was suspended for academic fraud. Lefty Driesell isn't being blamed for Bias' death, he is being held accountable for the implosion of his program.
Let's not talk about scapegoats here. Neither Driesell nor Dick Dull, who recently resigned as athletic director, is being unfairly targeted. Yes, the true culprit is the big-time athletic mindset that encourages greed and academic laxity. But men administer and endorse that system, and those men must be responsible for the fallout of that system.
Driesell doesn't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. He surely saw this coming. Why else would he have been campaigning so vigorously to keep his job? After not talking at all for more than three months, a few weeks ago he suddenly became available again. Armed with his own set of graphs and graduation statistics that compared favorably to the university's, he went on the offensive to combat the deafening silence from the chancellor's office. John Slaughter may have signed Driesell to a 10-year contract last year, but he was no bosom buddy lately. Slaughter's deliberate distancing himself from Driesell was rather like Teddy Kennedy avoiding Jimmy Carter's handshake after the 1980 convention.
In an attempt to rally popular support, Driesell behaved in the outlandish, irrepressible style we've grown accustomed to over the years. He tried wrapping himself in academic robes, listing doctors and lawyers he'd coached. But virtually all played for him at Davidson. He crowed that a grand jury hadn't indicted him: "You ain't found nothing yet and you ain't going to." Once again, as he'd done in the days just after Bias' death and the subsequent revelations about drug use and academic embarrassment, Driesell said he had nothing to apologize for. The situation called for conciliation and restraint. Driesell gave us Rambo: He would not quit. No retreat, baby, no surrender. In a final, desperate maneuver, Driesell said he had polled his players, and the majority of them wanted him to stay on as coach.
Through it all, opposition to Driesell grew. Among the Board of Regents there had long been a sizable faction unenamored of the bombastic, visceral coach. In the absence of any public support from Slaughter for Driesell, that faction could agitate for Driesell's ouster without significant rebuttal. When Dull resigned and Slaughter still did not give him a vote of confidence, Driesell must have realized that to keep on fighting would only be counterproductive. He'd asked for support and gotten none. His bullets were all spent. He could have waved his guns in the air a while longer, but eventually they were going back in the holster.
Driesell's possible entrance into athletic fund raising may be serendipitous for everyone at Maryland. It can, at last, appear that Slaughter has acted decisively toward the university's most polarizing personality. Driesell can have an honorable exit, a valued position at the university he has served long and well. He can do much of what he's been doing all along: selling Maryland athletics. The folks he'd be selling them to have always been his biggest boosters, anyway. Since he'd get a healthy percentage of the funds he'd raise, the university should come out a lot better financially than if it had bought out his contract. Who knows? A rehabilitated Driesell might even be named a consultant to the basketball team -- maybe even its coach. Nixon's back, isn't he?
Driesell has wondered lately, not without justification, "What am I doing differently now than last year, when they signed me to a 10-year contract?" Nothing. It's not he who changed. It's not they who changed. The rules of the game changed. They changed that fateful June night when Leonard Bias died. It could have happened anywhere, but it happened at Maryland. So they changed the rules on Lefty Driesell, just as they changed them at San Francisco and Tulane when something awful happened there. They change the rules because they have to.
