One other thing:
I'm sure some folks worry that they might find, after plopping a self
support tower down on *level* bottom nuts, that their pride and joy is
not plumb. Not to worry, if the tower is a Pirod, or Nello, or Valmont,
or Rohn, or whatever well know tower - that does not happen.

TAXI caught up with London cab driver, Ian Parsons, to reflect on his memorable time as Taxi Charity chairman.
So, Ian, when did you become Taxi Charity Chairman?
Ian: I have been Chairman since 14th May, 2019, and will be handing over to the new Chairman in early September.
What have been the highlights?
Ian: There have been many! And if I were to list my top ten for you today, I’m sure they would be different tomorrow. But two very special moments do spring to mind. They were both from our 2019 trip to Normandy.
It was 6th June – the 75th anniversary of D-Day – and I had the honour of laying a wreath with WWII veteran Bill Gladden, during the commemoration service at Ranville Cemetery. 75 years earlier, almost to the hour, Bill and his 6th Airborne comrades landed in a Hamilcar glider in a nearby field. This was a very poignant moment for me – and there would be another later that day following our lunch at Amfreville village hall. Children from the local primary school had lined the street to greet our convoy, smiling and waving flags as the cabs arrived. After we’d eaten, I walked outside and spontaneously invited the children to join us. There must have been at least 200 who began snaking their way in and I thought, oh no, what have I done, is there room in here for everyone?
The children packed on to the small stage at the back of the hall and sang to the veterans. It was all unplanned and quite delightful. Afterwards, whilst they posed for photos with the veterans, I discovered that one, Roy Cadman (No.3 Commando), had helped liberate Amfreville.
Ian: 2020 was shaping up to be the biggest year in our charity’s history, but Covid destroyed all our plans. We were to have played a major role at several landmark military anniversaries across the UK, as well as in The Netherlands and Normandy. Among the many events lost was VE-Day 75. Planning was in its final stages when the pandemic struck. Just think how our country would have celebrated that occasion. And imagine the role the Taxi Charity and our volunteer cabbies would have played in London, during the three-day celebration weekend.
What are you most proud of during your time as Chairman?
Ian: Our response to the pandemic, which ultimately led to us to win The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service.
From the start of the emergency, our main aim was to keep in contact with as many veterans as we could: by phone, post and, where possible, in person, and to offer help and support, especially to those living alone and isolated.
We came up with a variety of imaginative ideas during the lockdowns, including socially-distanced doorstep visits. Some went on to form support bubbles. Our volunteers delivered shopping, supplies and prescriptions. We delivered goodie bags and other gifts too.
Drivers also took veterans for hospital appointments and for their covid vaccinations. Some even delivered a birthday cake and the occasional home-made meal.
We published a regular Veteran Newsletter and posted out thousands of cards – those we created and those we received from a multitude of supporters in Normandy and The Netherlands.
We responded very well under exceptionally difficult circumstances.
Who have you met that really made an impression on you?
Ian: That’s a hard one. I’ve met many fascinating people during my time as Chairman, so let me answer in a roundabout way.
On my first full day, I spoke at the Dutch Centre in the City of London about the history and work of the Taxi Charity. The occasion was the Spirit of Arnhem seminar, ahead of the 75th anniversary commemorations. And on 3rd September, my final day as Chairman, I will be participating in the Airborne Walking March which takes you past several of the battlefield sites.
I’ve been going to the Netherlands with the Taxi Charity since 2014, and I never cease to be amazed by the respect, enthusiasm and warmth of the welcome our veterans receive from the Dutch – or, indeed, that all of us receive.
Over 100,000 were in Wageningen recently, to celebrate Dutch Liberation Day. They waved and cheered the veterans as our convoy drove by. Some handed them flowers whilst others held up hand-made ‘thank you’ signs and other messages. Just incredible.
It’s by chance my time as Chairman has been bookended by these Dutch events – and no-one has made a greater impression on me than Dutch people.
What would you like to say about the volunteers?
Ian: Throughout our 75-year history, the Taxi Charity has relied on the generosity of its volunteers: that mainly consists of London cabbies who give their time and vehicles free of charge. We are a unique military charity for this reason, but we also rely on the help and expertise of other volunteers from outside our trade. All I can offer is my heartfelt thanks to one and all, and say you can be proud of what you have done. You have helped change lives and made a positive difference to so many.
I would also like to use this opportunity to remember and thank all those who came before us; those who helped develop the charity from its humble beginnings.
What are your plans for after the Taxi Charity?
Ian: Whilst I’m stepping down as Chairman, I am remaining on the committee and will continue to play an active role. Anne, my wife and Taxi Charity volunteer, and I recently moved house and she’s got a long list of things for me to do… and I’ve got a long list of places I want us to visit! Tool shed or Hawaii? It’s a tough one.

"About value and nutrition, I don't think chicken wings and sewer water cleaned vegetables, could compare with subway."
I'm not just trying to argue for the sake of argument, but I'll take the outdoor BBQ chicken wings over subway if health and nutrition is the only issue.
First of all, too many people have gluten intolerance for bread to be considered much of a health food. Some people tolerate it better than others, though. But personally, bread is my worst enemy as I will be a big fat blob in no time if I don't watch my bread intake.
But then the bread is highly processed with chemicals. And.... cold cuts are not all created equal. If you go to Metro, you will see that some french hams etc.... cost an arm and a leg. Like 80 kuai a package. Those are high quality cold cuts. But I'm sure that Subway uses the lowest-quality cheap ass cold cuts to maximize profits.
And therefore the chicken wings win the contest from a nutrition standpoint.
But taste-wise, yeah a sandwich has more varied flavors and texture. Sweet, mixed with vinegar, mustard, etc... and that's one reason sandwiches have endured as a favorite food for a million years.
But they're over-priced. Back home, Chinese buffets (ie fast food) —- all you can eat —- are still under 12 dollars for lunch.
And you can get a pretty good Chinese meal for 36 RMB. Never been to Gare du Sud. I'm guessing it's much more. But if you can't find decent restaurants with decent dishes for 40 RMB, I think maybe you haven't explored too many restaurants. Or maybe you're just one of these expats that will never assimilate and like the local food. And if that's the case, then don't force yourself. If you don't like it, you don't like it. I met someone who doesn't like and never eats Indian food. I thought 'wow! really?'
I eat Chinese maximum once a week apart from stuff like chicken wings, which isn't really that Chinese-y anyway. Eat mostly my own grub, and fast food once a week. I will not elevate Subway above McDonald's. They're both fast food which I try to limit to once a week.
Sorry, but I am immune to Subway's deceptive marketing tactics.

Water Quality - Frequently Asked Questions
My tap water sometimes has a funny taste and smell. What's wrong with it? At times, during the summer months of July through October, water can have an unusual taste, odor or appearance. Aesthetic characteristics generally do not pose a public health threat.
Chlorine or chemical tastes or odors are usually caused by the addition of chlorine to the water or the interaction of chlorine with organic matter. Chlorine is added to disinfect our water and is required by regulations.
Moldy, musty, earthy tastes or odors are commonly caused by seasonal occurrences when organic matter such as plants or algae are more prevalent in lakes, reservoirs, and the canals that deliver the water to water treatment facilities. These things are removed as the water is treated but harmless residual odors may remain in the water.
What I can do to avoid taste and odor in my tap water? Although harmless, it can affect the taste and smell of your drinking water even at very low concentrations. The best way to reduce taste and odor is to run the faucet for several minutes, put some water in a clean glass container, and refrigerate it before drinking.
Is my tap water safe to drink? Yes. We test our drinking water continuously to assure quality. We meet or exceed health based standards for tap water quality.
Does the town fluoridate its drinking water? Yes. We add fluoride to bring the tap water concentration to about 0.7 mg/L. This is considered the optimum level of fluoridation by the American Dental Association (ADA). In November 2000, Gilbert voters approved Proposition 413, a referendum ordered by petition of the people relating to the installation of fluoridation equipment at the water treatment plant.
Is fluoride in my drinking water safe? Yes. When added or naturally present in the correct amounts, fluoride in drinking water has greatly improved the dental health of consumers and the treated water is safe to drink.
What is water hardness? Water hardness represents total concentration of calcium and magnesium ions, reported as calcium carbonate. Hardness can sometimes interfere with soaps and can leave a “bathtub ring” or deposits on fixtures.
What are the health effects associated with hard water? Hard water is not known to cause any adverse health effect.
What is the conversion factor for mg/L of hardness to grains per gallon of hardness? One grain per gallon of hardness is equivalent to 17.1 mg/L (calcium carbonate equivalent).
How to set your water softener correctly? If you decide to purchase a water softener, you need to set it according to the hardness of the tap water. Average hardness for the town water is between 8-10 grains per gallon and setting your softener between 10-12 grains will work. Also, iron is below detection level.
What are total coliform bacteria? Total coliforms are a group of closely related bacteria that are (with few exceptions) not harmful to humans. They are natural and common inhabitants of the soil and ambient waters (e.g., lakes, rivers, and streams), as well as the gastrointestinal tracts of animals.
What is E. coli? Where does it come from? How can water be treated to protect against E. coli?E. coli is short for Escherichia coli.E. coli is a type of fecal coliform bacteria commonly found in the intestines of animals and humans. During rainfalls, snow melts, or other types of precipitation, E. coli may be washed into creeks, rivers, streams, lakes, or groundwater. Gilbert’s water is treated with chlorine to kill or inactivate E. Coli and other harmful bacteria and microorganisms.
How often do you test tap water for total/fecal coliform? We monitor our disinfection process on a continuous basis. We also collect 150 samples per month from representative locations within our distribution system and test them for coliform bacteria.
Why water is tested for total/fecal coliform only? EPA considers total/fecal coliform as a useful indicators for the pathogens. Presence or absence of total coliforms determine the adequacy of water treatment and integrity of the distribution system. Also, we continuously monitor the disinfection process to demonstrate compliance with inactivation of viruses and Giardia – a protozoan microorganism.
What can cause the tap water to be cloudy or milky? Cloudy water commonly is caused by air in the water. If the cloudiness does not dissipate when the water is allowed to stand, the cloudiness may be due to some other cause. To help determine the cause(s) of cloudiness of your drinking water, please notify the Water Department at 480-266-6336 or 480-266-6911.
What can cause tap water to taste like salt? High sodium or chloride ion concentrations can produce a salty taste in tap water.
What can cause tap water to smell like bleach? Chlorine used for disinfection of drinking water may produce a bleach odor in the tap water.
Why some times water coming out of my tap is brown or has sediments in it? This is caused by sediment in the water mains that is disturbed by fire hydrant maintenance or water main line flushing. If your water is cloudy or has sediment or color, please flush it for 10 minutes or until it is clear.
What should I do if I turned on a faucet and the water coming out is discolored? Do not be alarmed. Run your faucets for about ten minutes to make sure the water is clear. If the water does not clear within ten minutes, please notify the Water Department at 480-266-6336 or 480-266-6911.
What's drinking water quality report? Water suppliers must deliver to their customers annual drinking water quality reports or consumer confidence report (CCR). These reports will tell consumers what contaminants have been detected in their drinking water, how these detection levels compare to drinking water standards, and where their water comes from. Gilbert posts this report online at: http://www.gilbertaz.gov/waterquality/WQR2012-REV060413.pdf . It is also available in printed form by calling: 480-503-6387
Where can I go for further information?
American Water Works Association: www.awwa.org
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: www.epa.gov
Centers for Disease Control: www.cdc.gov
If you have further questions or concerns, please fill out this on-line request for water quality inquiry. You may also call Public Works at 480-503-6400 (Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm) and a customer service representative will be happy to assist you.

To emphasize his point, he taught himself how to open (“crack”) safes, with results amusingly told in the book Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!
For these contributions, & for the renormalization of quantum electrodynamics, he shared the 1965 Physics Nobel Prize with Shin-Ichiro Tomonaga & Julian Schwinger. He also contributed to the theory of nuclear interactions with Murray Gell-Mann.
During his visit to Brazil, he evaluated the Brazilian educational system. He was a member of the council for evaluation of books of math & physics for the public schools of California for 2 years. He invigorated undergraduate physics education at Cal Tech, where his years of lectures were edited & collected into the 3-volume book The Feynman Lectures on Physics, which has become an inspiration for students of physics ever since. He also published a number of popularizations of physics, including QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter.
After the explosion of NASA's Space Shuttle Challenger, he was appointed by the President to the council investigating the causes of the disaster. In his usual brusque& no-nonsense style, he cut through the bureaucracy & identified the cause of disaster as the failure of an o-ring seal in the unusually cold launch-pad temperatures, even dunking a similar o-ring in a glass of ice water in front of other committee members to emphasize this.
Among the many books he wrote were those that related a number of entertaining & revealing short stories from his childhood & in his professional career. These include the already mentioned bestselling autobiographical wor

Can You Decrease Humidity by Running the Air Conditioner?
Unwanted humidity can result in many problems, such as mold spores, musty smells, structural damage, and an unpleasant muggy feeling. That’s why it’s necessary to balance humidity if you hope to increase indoor air quality and home comfort.
The ideal relative humidity level is around 30 to 50 percent. Summer is typically the hardest time of year to stay in this range. Thankfully, using the air conditioner can help.
After all, air conditioning doesn’t just cool your home—it also lowers humidity. Here’s details of how this works, alongside with tips to manage indoor humidity levels.
How Air Conditioning Removes Humidity
Contrary to popular belief, your air conditioner doesn’t add cool, dry air in your home—it removes heat and humidity. The process necessitates refrigerant, which absorbs heat and moisture effectively from the indoor air. Here’s what happens:
- Indoor air flows through the ductwork and all over the evaporator coil containing cold refrigerant.
- The refrigerant soaks up heat, and the moisture in the air accumulates on the coil.
- The condensation flows into the condensate pan below the evaporator coil and drains away from your home.
- Cooled, dehumidified air flows into your home.
Tips to Lower Humidity
Using the air conditioner will sometimes be enough to lower the relative humidity beneath 50 percent in dry climates. But if high humidity continues to be a problem in your home, try again with these tips.
Use the exhaust fan in the bathroom, kitchen and laundry room when you shower, cook and wash clothes. Spot ventilation removes humidity at the source to keep these rooms a cooler temperature. You can also open a window when it’s more temperate outside to draw in fresh air.
Clean Up Standing Water
Damp shower tiles, kitchen counters and laundry room floors raise indoor humidity and will sometimes encourage mold spores. Dry any standing water promptly to avoid these problems.
Use a Dehumidifier
If you grapple with extreme humidity in the summer, consider installing a whole-house dehumidifier that performs in tandem with your air conditioner to make your entire home more comfortable. A whole-house system can even operate separately from the AC to lower humidity on milder days without running the air conditioner. This method saves you money and avoids that “cool but clammy” feeling.
Adjust the AC Fan to Auto
The condensation that forms on the evaporator coil needs time to accumulate and flow away. If you use the air conditioning fan continuously, the moisture won’t be able to leave your home. That’s why it’s better to set the fan to “auto” so it is only on when the AC compressor switches on. You should be able to adjust this setting easily on your thermostat.
Swap Out the Air Filter Regularly
An obstructed air filter traps dust and debris and will sometimes encourage mold and mildew if it gets wet. This introduces moisture and mold spores into your home every time the AC turns on. Exchange the air filter once a month or as recommended by the manufacturer to decrease indoor humidity and enhance air quality.
Tweak the Fan Speed
Optimizing the fan speed can be tricky. Higher airflow helps the AC meet your cooling demand on scorching summer days, but this can cause shorter cycles that block effective dehumidification. Coordinate with an HVAC technician to help you determine the ideal fan speed for your comfort preferences.
Clean the Evaporator Coil
A filthy coil can’t cool and dehumidify efficiently. If your cooling is having trouble maintaining the set temperature, call our HVAC specialists to maintain your cooling system and clean the evaporator coil. Cooling and dehumidifying capabilities should improve as a result.
Verify the Refrigerant Charge
Low refrigerant can impair your air conditioner’s ability to do its job. Left unchecked, serious issues such as a frozen evaporator coil or compressor failure may happen. Only a qualified HVAC technician can fix refrigerant leaks and refresh the system as needed, offering you another reason to schedule an AC tune-up.
Exchange Your Air Conditioner
If your home has consistent comfort trouble and your air conditioner is getting older, it could be time to look for a new one. Select a new AC unit with modern features, like a thermal expansion valve (TXV) and variable blower motor. A TXV delivers the exact amount of refrigerant based on the air temperature, and a variable blower motor adapts the fan speed to meet demand. Both features increase cooling and dehumidifying efficiency.
Balance Indoor Humidity with Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing

The common cold is a upper respiratory tract infection caused by one of more than 100 viruses. The cough that often accompanies a cold is the body’s attempt to clear the air passage of mucus, dust, or other substances that cause irritation.
I find that this recipe helps my family, and give relief.
2 tsp. coltsfoot leaves
1 Tbs. wild plum root
2 tsp. mullein leaves
2 cups boiling water
1 pound honey
Combine the herbs in boiling water, in a nonmetallic container steep for 30 minutes and strain. Add the honey, heating, heating and stirring until the honey is dissolved, cool and store in a glass container. Take 1 Tbs. at a time as needed.
In addition to those herbs listed in the following formula, several other helpful herbs, including black currant, chamomile, Ginkgo biloba, Indian root, peppermint, and queen of the meadow, can help strengthen the immune system and fight off colds and other viral infections and their symptoms.

The United States Air Force Academy said football players can keep praying before games.
The decision came after a complaint by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, calling the prayers illegal and unconstitutional.
In early December, MRFF President Mikey Weinstein, an Air Force Academy alumnus and former military lawyer, called the practice of Christian cadets assuming a posture of prayer on one knee a “disgrace” and a “putrid example of fundamentalist Christian supremacy, triumphalism and exceptionalism.”
MRFF had published a cartoon showing Air Force Academy cadets kneeling on prayer rugs while facing east. MRFF said the cartoon was intended to question whether prayer would be allowed if it was conducted by Muslim cadets, rather than Christian ones.
The Academy investigated the complaint, but said players are allowed to follow their own religious beliefs.

|Art journal prompt: Color Background|
The Day 4 creative prompt was Color Background. Wendy suggested choosing a color you don’t typically use and I thought that sounded like a cool challenge. I mixed up a mid-value red-violet, a color I have pretty much no love for. And the fun part came with choosing the colors to use on top of it. I’ve been itching to use an earthy yellow ochre, so went with a triadic color scheme and rounded it out with blue-green.
|Triadic color scheme and compositional sketch|
With the color palette and a basic composition as a starting point, I layered on more and more acrylic paints. It really pushed the poor paper to its limits! But it didn’t actually break through to the other side, luckily. Right now I’m obsessed with the idea of putting warm and cool colors of the same value next to each other — something I’m learning about in my landscape painting study. So I like where the mid-value blue-green, ochre, and grey meet in different places.
I applied a lot of the paint with my fingers, which made me feel more connected to the page. It’s something I’d like to do more of.

Stress Control: Yoga, Meditation and CBD
January 13, 2019
It’s amazing how the tiniest bumps in the road can start to bring in physical stress that starts in the legs, creeps up the spine right into the shoulders, settles there and camps, then spreads up the neck into the jaw and lands in the temples. Pain, fatigue & irritability are just a handful of symptoms caused by holding on to stress. Below is some information about stress: what causes it, what are its effects and how to manage or control it.
What is Stress?
Stress is a measure of your mental and physical resistance to circumstances beyond your control. Stressors are threats, demands, or changes to which you attach special, significant importance, and with which you may struggle or feel uncertainty.
Common stressors include the loss of a vital connection through death or the emotional longing for someone who is unavailable, especially a spouse or family members; financial distress; being overworked at your job, at home, or in your studies; caretaking; workplace and personal relationship struggles; divorce; and other fears of loss and inability to meet external demands.
Or a culmination of all the little “irritants” that occur for most of us every day of our lives.
Why is this bad?
Acute stress is the leading cause of sudden death, especially in young healthy people with no evidence of coronary disease. But it can fell people at any age. Chronic stress causes heart disease.
It is a clandestine cause − not fat or cholesterol − of heart attacks and arterial disease. It contributes to high blood pressure (hypertension), a risk factor for cardiovascular problems such as heart failure and sudden cardiac death and heart enlargement.
Long-term depression significantly increases the risk of heart disease. Among other effects, it actually triples the disease producing effect of smoking.
In cardiology, stress is a grim reaper that abruptly ends life by rupturing unstable plaque in a vital vessel or by triggering a lethal disturbance in heart rhythm. When you get fired up emotionally, you’re putting a torch to your arteries.
Medical research has repeatedly documented the danger of anger, chronic stress, and the negative emotional states. Yet these risk factors are rarely addressed by doctors.
What can I do to lessen my stress?
There are many simple and effective ways to calm the mind and control strong reactions to stressful situations:
Exercise is a wonderful way to “get out of your head” and positively harness energy that could otherwise be directed towards an emotional reaction to stress. The physical activity doesn’t have to be high impact. Yoga, a brisk walk, or an hour of gardening can do the trick to burn off excessive emotional energy.
Sitting quietly for even a few minutes every day can help you filter through the mind’s clutter. One objective of meditation is mental clarity: the ability to differentiate between real concerns and issues vs. becoming reactionary to small incidents that don’t really impact life in any meaningful way. In other words, meditation can help you stop making mountains out of mole hills.
Return to nature
Escape the urban jungle by finding a natural place. It could be the greenbelt behind your office, a walk though the woods or on the beach, or sitting in your back yard under your favorite tree. Nature views and sounds are grounding, and natural elements of earth, wind and water are calming for the mind and relaxing for the body. This yogi loves to spend time watering the garden while listening to the sounds of the bugs and the birds and watching the little lizards and frogs frolic in the grass. I feel more relaxed just writing that statement!
With all the demands of family, work, school and community, it can be challenging to carve out that me time. Unfortunately, nobody is handing out me time…you have to take it for yourself by setting aside the time to read a book or engage in your favorite hobby. Pamper yourself with a massage, or attend a sound bath meditation. Soaking in a nice hot CBD Oil-infused bath can do the trick too – more on that next!
A recent study showed that cannabis oil may regulate the emotional response to trauma and therefore prevent further stress. This is because it minimized the stress receptors in the hippocampus and amygdala (areas in the brain) that combined, are both responsible for processing our senses and emotions. This writer starts every day with 1000mg CBD Oral Drops to keep her hippocampus in check!
Artisanal Apothecary recommends soaking in the bath with one of our 30mg CBD Bath Bombs, or 100mg Bath Crack Bath Salts for easing tension and stress. The Staycation Bath Bomb is ideal to combine Me time, Meditation and CBD Oil therapy all at once!
So in addition to your yoga practice, try complementing your routine with CBD oil or CBD bath products. You really can do a lot for yourself , and actually take control of your mental and physical well-being.
The term wellness has become such a catch phrase lately, but we’re hoping that it turns into a lifestyle, not just a passing fad. Laura Beth is one of the owners of Artisanal Apothecary (along with her long time yoga friend Iris).
You can catch her on the mat teaching at Uptown Yoga’s Austin Ranch location every Tuesday, 4 pm and 5:30 pm. for an all levels vinyasa flow. She would love to see you there.
You can find her line of CBD self care products and tinctures at: www.artisanalapothecary.shop

In honor of Friday the 13th these movies are in no particular order because like my music, the movie I like on a particular day is determined by my mood.
- Billy Elliot: I once asked a close friend if he ever felt the need to dance how he felt about his mother’s death. Because dance was his means of artistic expression, it seemed to me that when tears and words failed, dance would offer peace. This movie perfectly expresses the burning need to create. The final scene never fails to give me chills.
- Matrix Trilogy: I discovered the first one on VHS and wondered why I hadn’t seen it in the theatres (going through the big D can do that to you). I found it though provoking in the same way as The Wall. Reloaded was eminently satisfying, Revolutions did not live up to expectations.
- Shakespeare in Love: Guilty pleasure with Ralph Fiennes’ baby brother in the lead.
- Chocolat: The beautiful Juliette Binoche is in two of my favorite movies. Her performances are haunting.
- Star Wars: “Popa! You’ve got to see this movie!” “Mom. Come on!” I was 11. ‘Nuff said.
- Man on Fire (either one): When a hero fight inner demons as well as outer bad dudes, I fall.
- Aliens: Badass heroine. Edge of the seat scary SF.
- Valley Girl: (Squeal!) Nick Cage is so totally awesome! Seriously, he was a client at a law firm I worked at in Century City in 1992 and all the secretaries said he was the soul of politeness and likability.
- The English Patient: I keep watching movies with Ralph Fiennes, hoping… He was great in Red Dragontoo, but playing tortured Hungarian royalty was his finest role. I often think that actors should just act and maintain their mystery, and I don’t really want to know their thoughts on life, because being belivable in front of the camera does not necessarily make them great interview subjects. Of course Mr. Fiennes is an exception:“Success is all about being able to extend love to people… not in a big, capital letter sense but in the everyday. Little by little, task by task, gesture by gesture, word by word.”
- Lord of the Rings Trilogy: I think I liked this so much because I met the actor who played Frodo when he was about 10. He was a darling, sweet kid. Shoulda aked for his autograph then!
- A Fish Called Wanda: My FAVE comedy of all time. Saw it three times in the theatre in 24 hours. Went the second time because I laughed so hard the first time I missed a lot of the jokes. Love the scene where Archie is telling Wanda how stuffy Englishmen are when it comes to love and romance and it’s “KkkkKen CCCComing to KKKill Me!”
- Silverado: “We’ll be back!” I am still waiting in vain.
- Something’s Gotta Give: I protest loudly that I am not a fan or romantic comedy, but mayhap I protest too loudly for I note that you could argue there are five such on my list. Can I make a category for dramatic comedy, please?

SARGODHA, Nov 1: A suicide bomber rammed his motorcycle into a PAF bus, killing seven officers of the Pakistan Air Force and three civilians on the Faisalabad Road on Thursday morning. Twenty-eight people suffered injuries.
The bus was carrying PAF staff from Mushaf Mir Airbase to Kirana Ammunition Depot when the bomber struck the bus at about 6.45a.m.
Five PAF officers and three civilian employees died on the spot and two injured officers died in the Sargodha CMH.
Sources said that 50 PAF personnel and civilians were in the bus which was badly damaged in the attack. The injured were taken to the PAF hospital and CMH. Later, five of them were airlifted to the Rawalpindi CMH.

The so-called cascade is slid by the middle of the falls where there is a large rock where the water erodes into a natural slide. The thin layer of moss on the stone for a long time to create a slippery slurry, as well as massage function for the back of the sliding surf slide above …

An estimated 1,700 people in the Acholi region are suffering from the nodding disease syndrome.
This was revealed by the minister of state for northern Uganda, Grace Freedom Kwiyucwiny during a meeting held with various district local leaders from Gulu, Lamwo, Pader, Kitgum, Omoro, Amuru, and officials from the ministry of health and office of the prime minister.
The meeting was aimed at finding a lasting solution to the nodding disease syndrome in the region
The minister said there are no new cases of nodding syndrome victims of recent but there are an estimated 1,700 patients with no hope of recovery.
She said the nodding disease syndrome has affected the social, economic life of families with children suffering from the disease.
The leaders have asked the government to put up daycare centres in the community so that parents can engage in productive work.


Indianapolis Public Schools must allow a 10-year-old transgender girl to continue playing on a school-sponsored softball team, a federal judge has ruled. The decision comes after the girl challenged a new state law that prohibits trans girls from playing on girls’ sports teams.
Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson of the Indiana Southern District Court issued the ruling in favor of A.M., who challenged House Enrolled Act 1041, on Tuesday. However, the injunction only applies to A.M.’s case, so HEA 1041 — which went into effect July 1 after the Indiana Legislature overrode Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb’s veto — remains law in Indiana.
“The law (HEA 1041) remains in effect across the state and we will continue our work to defend this law and to protect Indiana’s K12 students,” Indiana Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita tweeted Tuesday. The state, represented by Rokita, intervened in the litigation.
He added, “The court’s ruling allows only this particular plaintiff to play this particular sport at this particular elementary school.”
On May 24, the same day as the veto override, the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana filed the lawsuit on behalf of A.M.
In a 28-page preliminary injunction order issued Tuesday, Magnus-Stinson grappled with the lawfulness of Indiana Code § 20-33-13-4, which she said “raises controversial issues regarding the boundaries of Title IX and whether and how those boundaries should stretch and shift in an ever-changing world.”
“But ‘the limits of the drafters’ imagination supply no reason to ignore the law’s demand. When the express terms of a statute give us one answer and extratextual considerations suggest another, it’s no contest. Only the written word is law, and all persons are entitled to its benefit,’” she wrote, citing Bostock v. Clayton Cnty., Ga., 140 S. Ct. 1730 (2020).
“When misinformation about biology and gender is used to bar transgender girls from school sports it amounts to the same form of sex discrimination that has long been prohibited under Title IX, a law that protects all students — including trans people — on the basis of sex,” Ken Falk, ACLU of Indiana legal director, said in a news release. “We are pleased that Judge Magnus-Stinson has recognized this and required that A.M. be allowed to play on her school’s softball team.”
In the complaint, A.M., by her mother and next friend, E.M., v. Indianapolis Public Schools; Superintendent, Indianapolis Public Schools, in her official capacity, 1:22-cv-01075, the plaintiff alleged the new law violated the child’s rights under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 as well as the equal protection clause.
On the discrimination claims, A.M pointed to Bostock and Whitaker v. Kenosha Unified Sch. Dist. No. 1 Bd. of Educ., 858 F.3d 1034 (7th Cir. 2017), to support her arguments.
Magnus-Stinson likewise relied on those decisions.
“Courts within this district have followed Whitaker and Bostock, finding that it is a violation of Title IX for a public institution to discriminate against an individual on the basis of their transgender status in the context of prohibiting a transgender student from using the bathroom of the sex with which he or she identifies,” the judge wrote, citing B.E. v. Vigo Cnty. Sch. Corp., — F. Supp. 3d —-, 2022 WL 2291763 (S.D. Ind. June 24, 2022), and A.C. by M.C. v. Metro. Sch. Dist. of Martinsville, — F. Supp. 3d —-, 2022 WL 1289352 (S.D. Ind. April 29, 2022).
“… IPS and the Superintendent cannot discriminate against A.M. based on her sex, and § 20-33-13-4 will force them to do just that,” Magnus-Stinson continued. “A law that prohibits an individual from playing on a sports team that does not conform to his or her gender identity ‘punishes that individual for his or her gender non-conformance,’ which violates the clear language of Title IX.”
Further, Magnus-Stinson noted the law only pertains to transgender girls, and the “singling out of transgender females is unequivocally discrimination on the basis of sex, regardless of the policy argument as to why that choice was made.”
The district court also found that A.M. established an irreparable harm for which there is no adequate legal remedy and that both the balance of harms and the public interest favor issuing an injunction.
The state’s motion to exclude the opinions of Dr. James Fortenberry, A.M.’s motion to exclude expert testimony and the state’s motion for leave to file surreply in opposition to the plaintiff’s motion to exclude expert testimony were all denied as moot. The district court also declined to allow five female athletes to file an amicus brief in favor of the state.
Indiana Lawyer has sent a request for comment to the attorney representing the defendants.
