This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Sierra Leone Telegraph: 4 May 2018:
The Members of Parliament Elect of the main opposition All People’s Congress (APC) party, have this morning entered the well of Parliament, after they were unceremoniously pushed out of parliament by the police, following ugly scenes of violent conduct by several of their MPs. The APC MPs say they were protesting after 15 of their MPs were injuncted by the High Court.
According to the head of the Ecowas Parliamentary Peace Mission – Mr Edwin Snowe, all 68 elected APC MPs will now be taking their oath today. (Photo: Below – APC MPs struggling with police as they disobey the orders of the Sergeant of Arms to keep the peace in Parliament two weeks ago).
Following the conclusion of peace talks brokered by representatives of the ECOWAS Parliament, both the ruling SLPP and the opposition APC are believed to have agreed to the withdrawal of their respective interim injunctions, though the petitions will remain in Court for adjudication. (Photo: Below – Today, all 68 APC MPs have arrived back in parliament this morning – in their best behaviours).
This is the statement issued by the ECOWAS peace envoys in Freetown yesterday:

We watch from the outside what the body reveals. Holding secrets just like the heavy bag. All we have is our perception, interpretation and your feedback to describe what we witness.
In the beginning, I was terrible with other’s discomfort…..hell, I couldn’t even deal with my own. But to grow, there is pain and the pain pushes you.
The ability to watch somebody, wriggle, avoid and finally succumb to the truth takes having gone their oneself first.

Gombe Stream National Park
Small but perfectly formed, Gombe Stream National Park is home to some of the best chimpanzee trekking in Tanzania. Made famous by Dr Jane Goodall and her ground-breaking research into the behaviour of wild chimpanzees living in the area, Gombe is remote and little-visited, making a bespoke safari here all the more special.
About Gombe Stream National Park
Hidden away on the eastern shores of Lake Tanganyika, Gombe Stream is the smallest national park in Tanzania, comprising open grassland, thick forests and steep valleys, sandwiched between tropical lake waters and a rocky escarpment. This unique micro-ecosystem is the perfect habitat for chimpanzees, and rivals Mahale Mountains National Park when it comes to the chimp trekking experience.
Renowned animal scientist Dr Jane Goodall made the park famous in the 60s and 70s with her studies of the chimpanzees that live here. Roughly 100 habituated chimps can be found in Gombe Stream National Park, and visitors are more or less guaranteed an encounter with these primates while trekking here.
Chimpanzee Trekking in Gombe Stream National Park
Chimpanzees are the stars of the show on any safari in Gombe Stream National Park, and practically everyone who visits has come to see them. Trekking into the forest to find the chimpanzees is the focal activity of any visit to national park, and there are three communities of chimps living here, with the large Kasekela group being habituated to humans. Guests can also visit Dr Goodall’s research centre and feeding station while in Gombe National Park.
Gombe Stream National Park
There are a number of other species that can be found on a tailor-made safari in Gombe Stream National Park, including red colobus, blue monkeys, bush babies and yellow baboons. Occasional sightings of bush pigs, hippos and leopard are also possible. Recorded species of birds in Gombe Stream National Park exceed 200 including African fish-eagles and palm-nut vultures. Nature walks to the Kakombe waterfall, Jane’s Peak and along the shore of the lake are also activities that can be enjoyed in Gombe Stream National Park.
Best Places to Stay in Gombe Stream National Park
There is limited accommodation in the Gombe Stream National Park area. Idyllically located on the lake shore, Mbali-Mbali Gombe Lodge is arguably the pick of the bunch. It makes a luxurious base from which to explore the national park, enjoy chimpanzee trekking and relax beside the tropical lake waters.
Hand-picked Camps and Lodges
Best Time to Visit Gombe Stream National Park
Chimpanzee trekking is best between June and October. These are Tanzania’s drier months and trekking in Gombe Stream National Park is slightly easier. Additionally, this period is also the best time to visit nearby highlights such as Katavi National Park on a multi-centre Tanzania safari itinerary.
During the wet months between April and May, trails can become muddy and difficult to navigate.

Their study is one of seven funded this year with an Erkkila grant
In our body-conscious society, virtually everyone seems to be obsessed with shedding excess pounds.
But Oregon State University researchers are finding that self-consciousness about being overweight may actually keep some people from exercising, changing their diet or taking other steps to slim down to healthier levels.
A new study titled "Weight Stigma and Perceived Physical Appearance: Their Key Precursors and Relationship to Physical Self-Worth and Health Behaviors" is attempting to measure people's attitudes about being overweight and gauge those influence actions that might help them lose weight.
The study is being underwritten by a $3,606 grant from the Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation's John Erkkila, M.D., Endowment for Health and Human Performance. The endowment doled out more than $75,000 to fund seven projects this year.
"If people feel stigmatized, how will that impact their behavior?" asked Rebecca Concepcion, a doctoral candidate in sport and exercise psychology who is conducting the weight stigma study with associate professor Vicki Ebbeck.
"We already know there are other things that impact health behaviors," Concepcion added. "Weight stigma is the new thing."
So far about 200 people have completed Concepcion and Ebbeck's 109-question online survey. They're looking for another 250 participants and hope to complete the work by this fall, but Concepcion said her initial analysis is already beginning to yield some results.
"Preliminarily, it's telling me that weight stigma does play a role in these health behaviors," she said.
While that result is not unexpected, having data to support the notion that stigmatization can discourage people from trying to lose weight could spur public-education efforts to counter negative body-image messages in society.
It's also important for people to know that a host of other factors besides diet and exercise play a role in weight gain, Concepcion said.
"People believe that your weight is totally under your control," Concepcion said. "When people are educated that it's not 100 percent controllable, they hold less bias."
For people who struggle to lose weight, it can be an emotional topic. Even though her study is not a qualitative analysis, Concepcion said, she's had some powerful responses from some of the participants.
"I've had people e-mail me and say, 'Thank you for looking into this - it's really important,and I'm glad you're working on it,'" Concepcion said.
Established in 1994 with $1 million donated by the late Ralph Hull, longtime owner of the Hull-Oakes Lumber Mill in Dawson, the Erkkila endowment each year finances various projects intended to improve health and fitness.
The endowment is set up to give away up to 90 percent of annual earnings based on a three-year rolling average. The winning projects are selected by a five-person committee chaired by Erkkila, an orthopedic surgeon with The Corvallis Clinic.
Erkkila grants are available to health-care providers and institutions of higher learning in Linn, Benton and Lincoln counties. Applications for next year's grants will be distributed in September.
Bennett Hall is the business editor for the Gazette-Times. He can be reached at 758-9529 or email@example.com.
2007 Erkkila grant recipients
• Mark Hoffman, Oregon State University, muscle activation difference in males and females, $8,100
• Dr. Thomas Lissman, Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, identification, prevention and treatment of delirium, $12,800

The RIVM received so many new reports of coronavirus infections in recent days that the information systems can no longer handle the influx of data. About 27,000 positive tests have not yet been processed over the past three days. "We are working hard on solutions to catch up and remedy this backlog," the institute reports.
When a laboratory determines that someone has been infected with the coronavirus, the confirmation goes to the GGD health service. From there it is passed on to the RIVM. "It is currently not possible to process the high number of reports that come in from the test venues in the system of notifiable diseases of the GGD and to report them to the RIVM," the RIVM reported.
Some 39,978 positive test results were registered between Wednesday and Thursday morning. That is the second highest daily total ever, surpassed only by Monday's total of over 42,000 cases. However, the actual figure for Thursday was even higher.
In the past seven days, the RIVM has registered 255,689 positive tests, an increase of 17 percent compared to the previous week. It is the first time since the start of the coronavirus crisis that a seven-day total has exceeded 250,000. On average, that breaks down to 36,527 positive tests per day, continuing a 13-day record-breaking streak, with the average having increased for 23 days in a row.
Amsterdam registered 2,786 new cases in the latest round of data, followed by Utrecht with 1,435, The Hague (1,274) and Rotterdam (1,078). Of the four, Utrecht's figure was 51 percent above its average, while the other three posted municipal totals below their respective averages.
Covid ICU total below 300 for first time in 75 days
Hospitals were treating 290 intensive care patients with Covid-19 on Thursday afternoon, the first time the figure was below 300 since November 6. The ICU total has been on an overall decline since reaching a peak of 662 on December 12 during the current wave of coronavirus infections in the Netherlands.
There were 1,124 patients with the coronavirus disease in care, including those in intensive care. That was 25 fewer than on Wednesday, after accounting for new admissions, discharges and deaths. The hospitalized total was at its lowest point since October 31. It has gone down by 18 percent in a week. A similar 18% decrease would bring the tally down to 929.
Regular care wards were treating 834 Covid-19 patients, a net decrease of 12. The ICU total fell by a net sum of 13 patients, with one person still being treated in a German intensive care unit.
However, Dutch hospitals admitted 149 new Covid-19 patients in the past 24 hours, the most in nine days. It was the third consecutive day that the number of hospitalizations increased. The figure includes 16 people sent directly to intensive care, also the most in nine days. On average, Dutch hospitals admitted 118 patients with the disease each of the past seven days.

We performed a forensic investigation of a pressure vessel explosion which caused serious damage to the manufacturing plant. The vessels operate under extreme conditions to create crystals for use in devices including cell phones. Metallurgical testing and evaluations, as well as extensive finite element analysis was performed.
The same finite element model built for thermal analyses was also used for structural and stress analyses. The model was subjected to design and operating conditions, including cyclic operating pressure and temperature transients. Analyses were performed for the maximum design and operating pressures at design and ambient temperatures.
To simulate the startup process, the outer surface of the vessel was heated to the operating condition using thermal transient analysis. Following an operation cycle, the vessel is cooled down to ambient conditions. Proper thermal boundary conditions, including heat transfer coefficients were applied to all appropriate inner and outer surfaces of the vessel.
We perform forensic investigations on vessels, heat exchangers, ductwork and other plant & process equipment.

In general, vision problems can greatly affect the affected person regardless of their cause. A person who has this kind of problem can be very affected, weakened, and sometimes needs to be treated very quickly ...
There are different types of vision disorders, they can manifest themselves in various forms, for example:
- sparks or "lightning" in front of the eyes,
- dazzling, or flying flies
- fuzzy, distorted or disturbed images,
- black veil before the eyes,
- double vision,
- loss of part of the field of view,
- tubular vision (tunnel gaze).
Vision problems may occur temporarily or, on the contrary, prolonged. They may be innocuous - for example in a healthy person, a low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) can temporarily cause flickering that will disappear then alone, immediately corrected problem.
But some eye disorders persist and require the intervention of an ophthalmologist, or even other doctors depending on the origin of the problem
Visual disturbances such as flickers can also occur during - or shortly before a migraine attack. In these cases, the symptoms usually disappear with migraine.
- To read: Migraine with aura
Depending on their causes, vision problems may be accompanied by other symptoms, for example:
- chewing problems ...
Some problems can cause persistent vision problems (eg retinal detachment), blood circulation problems in the eye or brain, such as stroke. These disorders require rapid support.
Occasionally, certain visual disturbances (localized pains in the eye, headaches, red eye, loss of visual acuity) occurring suddenly must be treated as quickly. This may be acute hyperpressure in the eye (acute glaucoma).
In case of persistent visual disorders whose origin is unknown, it is advisable to consult a doctor to identify the cause of these disorders and set up a treatment, a suitable solution. It is not mandatory to want to consult at any cost an ophthalmologist, because for some disorders, the general practitioner can already sometimes guide the diagnosis.
The need - and the choice - of the treatment depends on the cause of the disorders of vision:
- In the case of a simple hypoglycemia for example, it is generally enough to eat a piece of sugar (glucose) or to drink a sweet juice.
- In case of migraine, drug treatment can be effective.
- In case of myopia or hyperopia, corrective lenses are of course indicated, for example glasses.
- If visual disturbances are due to diseases such as retinal detachment or cataracts, surgery may be necessary to treat the problem.

The Russian Foreign Ministry reacted to the US statement that the authorities in Malta confiscated a batch of supposedly fake Libyan dinars made by the Russian Goznak. The Russian Ministry said that Washington’s statements were untrue.
Earlier, a statement appeared on the website of the US State Department that the authorities in Malta intercepted a batch of supposedly “counterfeit” Libyan dinars. At the same time, the total amount of banknotes in terms of American currency amounted to $ 1.1 billion.
The statement said that the order to print money allegedly came from an "illegal parallel organization", and not the Libyan Central Bank in Tripoli, while Goznak printed the money.
The State Department said that "the influx of counterfeit Libyan currency printed in Russia, recently aggravated the economic problems of Libya."
“This incident once again underlines that Russia needs to stop its disastrous and destabilizing actions in Libya,” the State Department said.
Commenting on such statements by the American side, the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the contract for printing Libyan dinars was signed in 2015 between Gosznak and the head of the Central Bank of Libya, approved by the Chamber of Deputies (Libyan parliament. - RT ). After that, the Libyan side made the necessary prepayment.
“As part of the fulfillment of its contractual obligations, the Russian organization sent a shipment of printed Libyan banknotes to the Central Bank in the city of Tobruk. At the same time, we proceed from the fact that these funds are necessary to maintain the stable functioning of the entire Libyan economy, ”the department explained.
The Russian Foreign Ministry also recalled that in the context of de facto diarchy in Libya, there are currently two Central Banks.
“Thus, not the Libyan dinars, but the American statements are false. Russia has consistently advocated that there is no alternative to a political settlement within the framework of a broad inter-Libyan dialogue, strict adherence to decisions adopted by the international community on Libyan issues, ”the department concluded.
Recall that the crisis in Libya began in 2011 after the overthrow and assassination of Muammar Gaddafi, whose regime actually operated in the country for about 40 years. After his fall in Libya, two opposing centers of power appeared. In the north-east of the country there is an interim government led by Abdullah at-Thani, appointed by the parliament in Tobruk. It relies on the Libyan National Army, led by Khalifa Haftar. In the northwest, in Tripoli, there is a government of national accord, led by Faiz Sarraj.

Russia, together with several other countries, advocates for a settlement of the situation in Libya. In particular, in January, an international conference on this issue was held in Berlin. According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the event was useful, but differences remain between the parties to the Libyan conflict. In the final communiqué, the parties reaffirmed their commitment to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Libya. World leaders also called for a ban on the supply of weapons to the country and stated the need to guarantee the safety of oil facilities.
The first deputy chairman of the Federation Council committee on international affairs, Vladimir Dzhabarov, in a conversation with RT called the statement by the American side “a fake of pure water.”
“I don’t know who provokes this, maybe the Maltese authorities themselves. Is Russia really nothing more to do? Who needs fake Libyan money? There, already, the state practically does not exist. What is the point of destabilizing the situation there if it is already destabilized already? The Russian authorities would not allow this to happen in Goznak, ”he said.
The senator emphasized that such statements are a provocation that has nothing to do with Russian policy.
The deputy chairman of the State Duma committee on international affairs, Alexei Chepa, said in an interview with RT that such accusations cannot be made without providing evidence.
“It would never occur to a normal politician to blame someone for something without evidence. But the Americans, as always, are not going to prove anything, ”the deputy concluded.


This weekend was a whirlwind for the the Irish robotics team, but they came home with a banner!
Robotics competitions are set up as a series of several qualifier rounds, where six teams compete in two alliances of three. This year, the competition consisted of speeding across the field to pick up foam rings and store them either in a slot in the wall or a slot high up in an overhang. Throughout the qualifiers, teams earn ranking points which decide their rankings going into the playoffs.
At the end of Friday, Irish robotics was in a modest 22nd out of 40 competing teams, and left hoping for better luck with their alliances on their next day. Alliances are assigned at random in the qualifier rounds, and the team would encounter some unfortunate luck with their assignments. Unfortunately, their fortunes would not turn on that Saturday.
Saturday brought more losses for your very own team 7256. By the time qualifiers ended and the playoffs began, the Irish were in 35th place, coming off of four straight Ls.
At the end of qualifiers, the top 8 teams become alliance captains and can go through and select two other bots to be their partners for the playoffs.
Hopes were not high for the team to be selected, but against all odds, team 3538, the RoboJackets out of Auburn Hills, chose to ally themselves with Irish Robotics for the sake of their consistent ability to score in the Amp.
Just like that, Irish Robotics had been given a second chance at success, allied with the RoboJackets and the Impi Warriors. The RoboJackets became close allies with the team, playing an instrumental role in getting Jeffry, the Irish bot, back into fighting condition.
Through superb driving from their driver Sean Pierucci, the Irish and their allies were able to pull out five dramatic straight wins in the finals. Throughout the games, the Irish had to adapt their strategy, from being an offensive scoring bot, to playing a defensive game of blocking, spinning, and slowing down the opposing team.
After two long days, the team emerged as champions, holding their banner high!
This scrappy team of seven will continue to states in a few weeks, competing against teams with dozens of engineers and budgets dwarfing Hackett’s. With any luck, our team can come back victorious!

Near Denver a homeowner who decorates his house with lots of holiday lights thought he was up against a human prankster. But after catching the chewing bunny on video, he realized who was the real culprit. "It was a rabbit. It was kind of cute. He runs out, he looks both ways. The rabbit comes up, stands up, goes over to the lights, takes a bite and runs away." The video is posted here
I have to give the Mr. Miller credit for trying to find a humane way of deterring the bunnies including pepper, predator urine and other non-lethal methods. He could also check out my list at this link.
It could be holiday lighting manufacturers are following the lead of automobile manufacturers. Car companies have discovered that a soy based plastic is cheaper to produce than traditional plastic to coat wires. However, it also tastes good to rabbits, mice, rats and other creatures.

Welcome to Bath Women’s Fund
Bath Women’s Fund celebrates women’s philanthropy and the wonderful local people and organisations that empower and support women, girls and families. We give collectively to achieve a greater impact – each member donates £25 per month (or £20 plus Gift Aid), or more if they wish.
Together, we decide each year on a theme for grant making, learn about the issues involved and then decide how the funds will be allocated to make the biggest impact.
Giving in 2020
In 2020 we awarded our first ever grant of £10,000 to Mentoring Plus for their Inspiring Girls project. This money will help set up new Girls Groups in three local schools.
Ruth Keily, Executive Director of Mentoring Plus, said: “They want more girls to experience supporting each other, to meet inspirational women and to be heard. They want the girls of the world to realise their potential and find their voice, starting in their own communities.”
On Wednesday 15th July, Bath Women’s Fund members met virtually for their first Grants Award Evening, compered by BBC reporter/presenter Ali Vowles. The three local charity finalists for the 2020 grant programme – Julian House, Mentoring Plus and SARSAS (Somerset and Avon Rape & Sexual Abuse Support) – presented their projects and answered questions from Bath Women’s Fund members. Each member has one vote to choose the charity to receive the main grant and Mentoring Plus won the most votes in a close contest.
In the Autumn, members will be choosing their theme for 2021’s giving, and we hope to have more funds to give away next year.
Throughout the year, we hold social events for our members and other like-minded women. Last year we held four Potluck Dinners, where we came together to meet new people, share food and learn about issues affecting local women and families. In February 2020 Bath City Football Club hosted us in Twerton for an evening focused on Women in Sport. We heard from Helen Donovan about the work of the Bath City’s Foundation, from Mary Matthews about Women in Sport and from an amazing panel of local sportswomen:
all interviewed beautifully by Ali Vowles.
Our face to face events are currently on hold but we have plans for some virtual meetings. To find out about the next events we have planned, please sign up to our mailing list.
How Giving Circles Work
Giving Circles operate around the World. They work by pooling member’s resources and giving to good causes.
Using this approach for the Bath Women’s Fund will mean that members will:
- connect more directly with local organisations
- learn about local issues
- share the joy of giving, and
- get involved more deeply in philanthropy and how funds are allocated to achieve the greatest impact
Giving Circles are also about having fun and bringing together a like-minded group of socially-aware professional women.
Our story so far
Co-founder, Isobel Michael, was inspired by seeing Melbourne Women’s Fund in action when she was working in Australia. Isobel is a Bathonian and a fundraiser and shared her vision with fellow co-founder, Emma Beeston, who works as an advisor to philanthropists and Foundations. Both agreed that there was the need and opportunity in Bath to set up a giving circle.
On Thursday 4th October 2018, over 50 women gathered in The Chapel at St John’s Foundation to launch the Bath Women’s Fund. Inspiring local female role models including Wera Hobhouse MP, Professor Carole Mundell, Amy Williams MBE, Sharron Davies MBE and Councillor Karen Walker spoke about the power of women coming together to give and support other in their community.

I promise, absolutely without question, the plan is to play to every single person who had a ticket
The Careless Whisper singer sobbed as he told he has spent the last month fighting for his life.
And his voice cracked with emotion as he vowed to play a special gig for the doctors who saved him.
“I’d say it was touch and go for a couple of weeks but we played it down,” said George.
“I didn’t want to worry my fans too much and I’m really sorry I couldn’t contact them in any way before now, but I was really not in any state to.” But he told reporters: “I’m very weak but I feel amazing.”
The 48-year-old gasped for breath outside his north London home while speaking for the first time since leaving hospital in Vienna, Austria.
But now he is keen to resume his Symphonica tour, which he had to abandon after being struck down by the illness.
“I promise, absolutely without question, the plan is to play to every single person who had a ticket,” he said.
“Also I would like to play one other show for the doctors that saved my life. They spent three weeks keeping me alive.
“It was by far the worst month of my life. I’m incredibly fortunate to be here and to have picked up this bug where I did. Apparently the hospital in Austria was the best place in the world I could have been with pneumonia. So I have to believe somebody thinks I’ve still got work to do here.”
George’s treatment included a tracheostomy op to help him breathe.
Asked what kept him going he said: “My family and the thought of all the people I’ve got to play to, the fact I’ve been so lucky – and the fact I’ve still got plenty to live for.
I have an amazing, amazing life and if I wasn’t spiritual enough before the last four or five weeks, I certainly am now.”
George, whose hits as one half of ’80s duo Wham! included Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, spoke for only a couple of minutes before needing to rest.
But he later Tweeted: “I’m back and I’m proud, though not very loud (which, I assure you, will be temporary!) MERRY XMAS TO ALL OF YOU! ISN’T LIFE GRAND !! X”
Among celebs to reply were Kylie Minogue, 44, who wrote: “Great to see @GeorgeMichael doing well! GM here’s to a great Christmas to you x.”
TV host Piers Morgan added: “Very happy and relieved to see @GeorgeMichael still alive and kicking. Sounds like he’s been through hell. Get well soon mate.”

The first tire that caught Leon Joshlin’s attention on Saturday morning was his own.
Beginning his preparations for the Streets Department’s 2012 Tire Round Up, Joshlin noticed that the front passenger tire of his Dodge Caravan was sagging somewhat. Bending down for closer inspection, he noticed the head of a nail lodged between two treads.
In light of the difficulty found in locating a mechanic on a weekend morning, Joshlin called AAA to request a tire change-out. Within ten minutes, help arrived and the deflated tire was exchanged for the spare.
Joshlin asked the mechanic if he wouldn’t mind rolling the tire to his home – “So they don’t steal it for recycling,” he explained.
Six-week tire collection program
Since 1995, the Streets Department Sanitation Division – in conjunction with the Philadelphia More Beautiful Committee – has sponsored a tire collection program that seeks to combat the illegal discarding of tires throughout Philadelphia.
As many as 150 registered community organizations throughout the city can participate each year, each receiving a payment of 50-cents per tire, up to $500.
On Saturdays, collection sites are located throughout the city to accept illegally discarded tires – “donations” from locations that are required to pay a fee for private disposal – i.e. auto repair shops or car dealers – are not eligible for the program.
The six-week effort runs through Aug. 25.
Rounding up extra funds for EFTW
On Saturday, Joshlin – a long-time East Falls resident now living in Germantown – was rounding-up under the auspices of the East Falls Town Watch, an organization which has participated in the Tire Round-Up since 2000, according to EFTW President Mary Jane Fullam.
Each year, Joshlin and Fullam lead their organization’s efforts to collect as many tires as possible, in order to fortify EFTW’s budget.
“Most years we get 1,000 tires,” she said, in reference to the maximum limit imposed by the Streets Department. In addition to their own scouting, EFTW often receives assistance in the form of leads or tips from community members.
In response to an announcement placed by Fullam in July’s edition of The Fallser, Joshlin’s collection efforts were augmented by the assistance of a Mt. Airy-based businessman.
Teaming up with a tire collector
Pulling the Caravan to the curb of a Mt. Airy side street, Joshlin is met by Hal Jones, who greets him with a grin.
With dozens of discarded wheels serving as his backdrop, Jones said, “I’ve got a couple of tires for you.”
Jones is proprietor of Atelier Art Services, which provides transport and storage for fine art. He’s been at his current location for 21 years, and has amassed his cache of tires from the neighborhood and from his sideline hobby of auto racing.
Earlier, Joshlin had expressed concern that his personal goal of 100 tires would go unmet. Now, his concern was space, but fortunately Jones solved that by volunteering the use of his company’s delivery truck.
Together, they expressed wonder at the seeming ability of tires to multiply when dumped in an abandoned lot.
“Well, when you put one tire there,” said Jones, “they reproduce immediately.”
“They do!” Joshlin agreed. “One tire can reproduce – it may take two animals, but only one tire.”
‘It’s not exactly a glamorous job’
In convoy, Joshlin and Jones set out for the drop-off center, which was located at Palethorp and Ashdale Streets in Olney.
Along the way, Joshlin observed two tires along the road, and stopped to retrieve them.
One of the unfortunate byproducts of recent rains is that the sidewalls of every discarded tire in the city contains about a quarter gallon of water inside, fouled by dirt, grime, and whatever else ends up discarded on a city street.
It’s nasty stuff, so Joshlin bailed the liquid using a discarded coffee cup, which populates roadsides with a frequency similar to that of tires.
“It’s not exactly a glamorous job,” Joshlin observed earlier in the day, “but the Town Watch really needs the money.”
“It doesn’t really have that much funding, so every little bit helps,” he said.
Arriving at the site, city sanitation crews are roused from their chairs and buckets, and spring into action.
Just before, Joshlin said he usually keeps an eye out on the workers, given the potential for miscounting.
However, he kidded, “If they over-count, I don’t usually say anything.”
His Nissan truck backed up to a city garbage truck, Jones began to offload, literally throwing the tires into the hopper of the city vehicle, the numerical capacity of which the operator refused to speculate.
With Jones’ work completed, the operator shouted “48,” after which the site supervisor depressed her clicker three additional times before submitting the first tally.
Afterwards, the city crew unloaded Joshlin’s Caravan, bringing the morning’s total count to 63.
With the pink receipt documenting his efforts in his hand, Joshlin expressed relief.
“I didn’t even expect 50 the way we were going,” he remarked. “Hal really came through.”
The final count for EFTW
While the Streets Department was not immediately available to provide a tally, Saturday was a good day for EFTW – 82 tires collected, just shy of Joshlin’s earlier-stated goal, and a good start for EFTW’s efforts.
Later in the afternoon – after the second drop-off and the second pink receipt – Joshlin guided his Caravan down 5th Street toward Roosevelt Blvd. and looked down to inspect his clothing, now caked in dirt and splattered in sludge.
“I might as well put these aside to wear for next week,” he said.

I was watching some of the 911 commission hearings on CSPAN this weekend, mostly Tenet's testimony. Interesting stuff.
Tom Maguire and some of his regular commenters have an excellent exchange going about Clarke's story, and what can be learned from it, aside from all the partisan yammering. The meat of the matter is definitely in the comments, this time. His Just One Minute is rapidly becoming the best right-of-center Washington-issues blog on the net.


Read the Bastard!
Dan Mangan / The Daredevil Christopher Wright
Orpheum, Vancouver BC November 9
By Alan Ranta
Fleet Foxes are pleasant, but their persistent harmonies and unsurprising song structures can turn their melodies into lullabies. This is not so with Wisconsin trio the Daredevil Christopher Wright. Featuring the collective efforts of percussionist Jesse Edgington and brothers Jon and Jason Sunde, their rich three-part harmonies are used in strikingly different ways in each song, with the timbre and arrangement changing from track to track. A couple interludes were purely vocal, and they even allowed a little room for atonal experimentation, breaking out of a driving folk tune to have Jason play some dissonant tones while Jon and Edgington messed around…

ATLANTA (AP) — Hawks guard Dejounte Murray is expected to miss about two weeks with a sprained left ankle. He is the third Atlanta starter to go down with an injury in the past week. Murray was hurt during the first quarter night of a 113-89 loss to the New York Knicks. The Hawks announced his prognosis after he underwent an MRI in New York. Atlanta is also missing forward John Collins with a spained left ankle and forward De’Andre Hunter with a right hip flexor strain. The Hawks have lost five of seven games.


There are days that I really hate politics – days when my cynicism and contempt for the politicians, the process, the whole bloody, unholy mess of spin meisters, pundits, press, bloggers, and commentators from all sides of the ideological spectrum make me want to chuck it all and write about sports, or gardening, or cats.
Readers of this site know that this too, shall pass; that tomorrow or the next day or day after that, I will resume my role as cantankerous curmudgeon railing against the left, the right, and the squishes in the middle as if this feeling of utter, depthless depression about the state of the nation never existed.
Part of it is, I’m sure, the coming slaughter of conservatives at the polls in November. The ignorant, smug, self-righteous liberals who visit this site (as opposed to most lefty visitors who are thoughtful and eager to engage in dialogue) who keep telling me to “get used to it” haven’t a clue themselves what is about to transpire with this coming election.
We are about to hand the presidency to the most ill-equipped, shallow, unschooled, and naive candidate in American history. Less than 4 years ago, Barack Obama was an obscure Illinois state senator with a paper thin record of accomplishment and a work history that included organizing inner city residents by bringing their resentments against white America to the surface thus motivating them to vote and put pressure on city hall.
If one asks the question how he rose so quickly to the heights he finds himself now, all you have to do is look at his sponsors in the Chicago political machine; state senate Majority leader Emil Jones (who helped pad his non-existent resume by putting his name as a sponsor on bills he never worked to pass), the as yet unfleshed out Tony Rezko connections to the operators and moneymen who were invaluable in his 2004 senate run, and Mayor Daley himself whose brother Bill, former cabinet official in Clinton’s administration and the man who ran the Gore 2000 campaign, an unpaid consultant to the Obama campaign who possesses one of the most valuable Rolodex in the Democratic party.
And let’s not forget the man who has brilliantly packaged the Obama message of “change” and “hope” by obscuring the candidate’s unabashed liberalism with enough amorphous, non-ideological platitudes to pave the road to heaven twice over. David Axelrod has many gifts. But perhaps his most valuable contribution to the Obama campaign has been in message discipline. Never before has a liberal Democrat stayed on point through appearance after appearance, debate after debate, talk show after talk show.
And, of course, the candidate’s own numerous political gifts have rounded out a campaign that looks unbeatable at this point.
Given all of this, just how bad (or good) would an Obama presidency be?
I have written previously how this election reminds me of 1980’s debacle for the Democrats. And while I still think this is true, there is a major difference between then and now; Democrats today are much less united (outside of the Iraq War) on what needs to be done to “fix” things than Republicans were a generation ago. Back then, the mantra of “lower taxes, less regulation, higher defense spending” was an easy sell and GOP candidates from top to bottom embraced the themes that Reagan hammered home day after day on the campaign trail.
But the left today is not in as much agreement as to what needs to be done although the outlines of some programs will see broad acceptance among Democrats on Capitol Hill. There will no doubt be a primal thrust at the beginning of an Obama administration for some kind of national health insurance. All depends on whether Obama insists on his own plan (that does not include mandated participation) or whether he breaks down and realizes there is nothing “national” about what he is proposing unless people are forced to sign up and pay into the insurance fund.
Some of the more entertaining moments during the debate occurred when watching Hillary criticize Obama’s plan for not covering all Americans while twisting and dodging about the draconian mandates contained in her own plan that would force Americans to buy health insurance – even if they don’t want it. And if they don’t buy it, enforcement provisions will almost certainly involve the IRS. What other government agency is set up to do it?
Will Americans feel the same about national health insurance once they realize what it means – what it really means – as far as forcing citizens at the point of the IRS gun to pay up or suffer the consequences? We’re an independent minded citizenry and don’t like to be told what to do but my guess is we will meekly submit to this massive intrusion of our liberties because citizens are convinced only the government can act to supply them with competitive insurance rates. Regardless of whether that’s true or not it doesn’t matter. We’re going to have national health insurance by the time the cherry blossoms are blooming in the tidal basin next year.
On the surface, it appears that Democrats are united in their desire to end the Iraq War. However, here too, you have a wide range of options being pushed forward by Democrats that almost certainly guarantees there will be token withdrawals of troops from Iraq and little more.
Unless a President Obama is willing to fire Gen. Raymond Odierno (who will be top commander in Iraq this time next year), CENTCOM commander Petreaus, and a host of lesser lights and replace them with generals who will tell him what he wants to hear on Iraq (don’t put this past Obama – Bush did it, why not him?), it is likely we will have virtually the same number of troops doing pretty much what they are doing now in Iraq for the foreseeable future. Obama’s on again-off again advisor Samantha Power said the same thing and common sense alone makes Obama’s “plan” to reduce troops by a brigade a month little more than a pipe dream.
The reason Obama will give – Bush screwed things up so bad that the troops are needed to prevent catastrophe – will be close to the truth so all but the Dennis Kucinich wing of the party will probably cut him some slack.
The real test of Obama’s leadership will come when dealing with the economy. Whether we are in an official recession won’t matter as much as the fact that economic activity will almost certainly be sluggish with most vital sectors experiencing slow or no growth. There will also no doubt be considerable slack in the labor market as well. The question is will the Democrats and Obama take actions that will help spur growth or will they give into their worst impulses and raise taxes, gut NAFTA, and take other actions that might exacerbate the situation?
I have zero confidence that anything the Democrats propose will make the situation better. Overall, the Democrats are unfriendly to the idea of a globalized economy and given the opportunity (or forced into it by their masters in the labor unions), they will find a way to throw a monkey wrench into free trade agreements while perhaps making it illegal to “outsource” goods and services to other countries. This will force other nations to react to what we are doing and the entire edifice of global trade will be threatened.
This will almost certainly mean slower growth and more difficulty in getting the economy back on track. Of course, the blame will successfully be placed at the feet of Bush and the Republicans where some of it belongs but without the inconvenience of having to own up to policies that have actually made the situation worse.
As far as foreign policy, I am actually less nervous about Obama than I was a few months ago. The reason is I don’t think Obama as president will emphasize foreign policy the first few years of his presidency but rather keep his nose to the domestic grindstone. Allowing things to float at this point – with the exception of Iraq and Afghanistan – wouldn’t be the worst thing that could happen. The Israeli-Palestinian negotiations will go nowhere as will negotiations with Syria. Pakistan is already a lost cause. Russia will continue to be a thorn in our side as will China but there might be areas – nuclear nonproliferation – that would benefit all countries and where Obama might actually do some good.
The Iranian situation will resolve itself with or without President Obama’s help. If he actively tries to prevent Israel from removing what they believe is an existential threat, his presidency will be over. And since the US is going to get blamed for anything Israel does anyway, my guess is he will tacitly support any Israeli action against the Iranian nuclear program.
Would he attack Iran? Despite his bellicose comments about not allowing the Iranians to develop nuclear weapons, since there will likely be no evidence that the Iranians are constructing nukes, it is extremely unlikely that a President Obama would greenlight any attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. Israel, of course, doesn’t have that luxury and once it is clear that Iran could enrich uranium on an industrial scale to the 85-90% level, all bets are off and US support or no, they will hit the Iranians with everything they’ve got.
Admittedly, the fallout from such an attack could be extremely serious. But Syria won’t commit suicide for their Iranian allies by starting a war they can’t win and Iran’s military is something of a joke – outside of some rockets that could hit Israeli cities with conventional explosives. The fact is, for all their bluster, Syria and Iran can’t do much damage to the Israelis and they know it.
Diplomatically, it might be a different story. It would almost certainly cause the Arab street to explode – Jews attacking Muslims – and it would almost certainly cool relations between us and our “moderate” Arab allies. But as I’ve mentioned previously, the Gulf states and Saudi Arabia aren’t looking to expand their own “peaceful” nuclear programs because they need power plants. They fear Iran and any action taken by anyone – even the Israelis – to remove the nuclear threat will be greeted by outrage on the outside but relief behind the scenes.
How Obama manages all of this – and I fear it is a virtual certainty he will have to face it – will test both the man and his presidency. Is he up to the challenge? I am of the school of history that believes great leaders are sometimes born but more often rise to the occasion having given little indication they were up to managing great happenings. Think Lincoln. But also think James Buchanan who sat paralyzed in the White House while state after state seceded from the union. Buchanan had great experience in government having served two terms as a senator and 4 years as Secretary of State. But all that experience went for naught when he froze during the greatest crisis the union ever faced.
The next 4 years will see the US tested as perhaps it hasn’t been since the end of World War II. Our alliances, our security, our leadership in the world – all will present enormous problems for the next Commander in Chief. Couple that with a moribund economy and a restless citizenry searching for a unity of purpose and you have perhaps the most daunting challenges a new chief executive will have faced at least since Reagan and possibly since FDR.
I know one thing. Obama will be the only president we have. Doing everything we can to support him – at least as far as our consciences allow – could make the difference between success and failure.

What’s happening in my bass world!?!?
Hello cyber world !
I’ve been lucky to be involved in many fun, cool and challenging musical projects so far this year. Here’s an update of what happened in April and May:
The Putbacks spent a couple of days in the studio to record some new instrumental jams for a 45 that should be released later in the year on HopeStreet Recordings.
Emma Donovan & The Putbacks toured the country opening for Paul Kelly. This was a great experience, and to play in so many beautiful theatres was pretty special. Her Majesty’s Theatre in Ballarat was my favourite, I think. Hamer Hall in Melbourne was also incredible. So was the Civic Theatre in Newcastle…
I went to Adelaide to perform as part of the Nexus Live series with Emma Donovan AND Kylie Audlist. 2 gigs with 2 of my favourite singers in 1 night! Kudos to Ross Mchenry for curating this series!
I performed Hairspray the musical with a high school I teach at. The band was small and made up of teachers and students. It was fun and daggy. A highlight for me was hearing two of my bass students improving on the gig. One student started to appreciate the importance of groove, the other student overcame some reading challenges. I could spend a whole year trying to do this with One on One lessons, but to sit next my students for a month of rehearsals and performances achieved unpredictable results. My students learnt themselves, from their own experience.
Also in my teaching world, I’ve been taking a bass master class at Melbourne Polytechnic (formerly NMIT) this semester. This is a first for me, and a first for MPT. It is pretty rare that 10 or so bass students can be in a room once a week, just talking about bass, listening to each other play, learning about the greats, learning new repertoire, listening to new music, learning new concepts etc. It has to be a good thing!
I made a film clip with a band called The Rrrrrockets.
Stonnington Jazz Festival just finished and I got to perform a one-off show with Lance Fergusson’s spiritual jazz project Menagerie at Chapel off Chapel. I also performed with The Putbacks and The Eugene Ball Quartet. All gigs were good fun and well attended.
I just finished recording an album with the Eugene Ball Quartet. I’m really enjoying this group. I haven’t found myself in a ‘jazz’ setting for a while. It was particularly nice to be asked by Eugene to join the group, and also that he specified I play electric bass. It is common to have a double bass in a non-chordal jazz group, but not so much with electric bass. I am more than open to the challenge. I’ve found this ensemble has me revealing an approach to improvised music that stems from my teenage years, and metal roots; I’m playing with distortion, with a pick, and playing power chords. \m/
Eugene Ball Quartet is eugene ball , james macaulay, james maclean and myself.
I’ll keep you posted on this and all the other wonderful projects I’ve got coming up.
… Well, that’s the plan!
If you actually read this before June 7, and live in Melbourne, please come to Howler for this gig
Ciao for now
