“Long before the discovery of ambiguity in modern times, Islam followed the idea that ambiguity is something unavoidable, with the idea that it opens new horizons.”
—From A Culture of Ambiguity
This novel approach to the culture and history of Islamic thought earned the author, a professor and director of the Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies at the University of Münster, Germany, a 2013 Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize for research. Bauer argues that one’s approach to ambiguity—the ability to debate ideas—is not only cultural but also has been a fundamental aspect of
that has often been overlooked or ignored. Although he focuses on the history of Muslim people, he engages the perspectives of other cultures both to challenge and support his own arguments. For example, during the Golden Age of Islam, Muslim mathematicians, naturalists and philosophers were generally content with uncertainties over fixed truths. By contrast,
, scholars like Rene Descartes maintained that clear and unchanging answers were the only solutions to life’s questions. While his points are interesting and the book has won wide praise, it can be overly dense for the non-specialist reader.

WMS Wideband Resources
We no longer sell the WMS Wideband O2 system or Wideband parts as there are too many low cost off shore systems on the market.
You can purchase a new wideband sensor from your local Volkswagen Dealership, Part #021-906-262B or Bosch Part # 025 800 705 7
- Installation Manual (pdf | 526KB)
- Software Manual (pdf | 411KB)
- Operating Software (standard version) (exe | 2.97MB)
- Operating Software (without installer) (zip | 2.0 MB)
1. Find a suitable mounting place for the WMS Wideband O2 Control Box, where the easy-to-read display is visible. It can be mounted on the dash or panel by cutting a hole for the small plug and mounting with double sided tape.
2. The Main Harness runs from the Control Box out to the O2 Sensor in the exhaust. Route the harness from the location of the sensor on the exhaust to the Control Box through a suitable grommet in the firewall.
Note: the plug for the Control Box is much smaller than the O2 Sensor plug and is easier to fit through a grommet. Be sure the harness has clearance from the hot exhaust and other moving engine parts.
3. The following wires can be found on the Main Wiring Harness
Note: only the red and black wires need to be hooked up for the system to operate.
- Red - 12V+ ignition power. Be sure this is 12V power when the ignition is turned on only. There is a noise suppression diode in the red wire, be sure to leave this inline, do not cut the wire short before this.
- Black - Chassis Ground
- White- 0 to 1 Volt signal. This wire simulates a stock O2 sensor for factory computers. If you are using a factory computer or other system that uses a narrow band O2 sensor signal you will hook this wire up to the factory O2 sensor signal wire. See Narrow Band Simulation section for more information on wiring.
- Orange - RPM signal input. This wire is used with our datalogging software to log rpm with the AFR. See the RPM Signal section for further information.
- Purple - 0 to 5 Volt signal. This signal is standard for most external datalogging systems such as those used on chassis dynos or other onboard loggers.
- Green - Analog Ground. This provides a ground reference to the datalogging system when the purple 0 to 5 Volt signal is used
4. Carefully plug the Control Box into the Main Harness.
5. Mount the Bosch Wideband O2 sensor in a suitable location in the exhaust. Generally, if you are replacing a factory O2 sensor the factory location will be good. See O2 Sensor Location for further information if you are doing a custom mounting of the sensor.
Note: anti-seize compound should be used on the O2 sensor threads so it can be removed at a later date.
6. Carefully plug the O2 sensor into the Main Harness.
7. Turn on the ignition. The red light behind the WMS logo should light up if the unit has power.
Sensor must be mounted between the engine and the catalytic converters (in application where they are used). If no catalytic converters are used, then the sensor should be close to the hedder collector, where the exhaust is hot and each cylinder is represented.
The O2 sensor must be installed in the side or top of the exhaust pipe. The installation angle of the Bosch wideband O2 sensor should be inclined at least 10° towards horizontal (electrical connection upwards). Thus preventing the collection of liquids between sensor housing and sensor element during the cold start phase.
Tightening torque: 40-60 Nm (29-44 ft-lbs). Material characteristics and strength of the thread must be appropriate (Source: Bosch Y 258 K01 005-000e).
On turbo applications install the sensor after the turbo and before the catalytic converter. The high exhaust pressure before the turbo interferes with the measurement and the high exhaust temperatures encountered can damage the sensor.
Most factory O2 sensor locations are acceptable for the wideband sensor but be sure they follow the general guidelines above. If you require a bung to weld in the exhaust they are available from K&N - part # 85-21688. Bung specifications are also given in this drawing from Bosch (click image to enlarge image).
Under-floor installation of the sensor at a distance from the engine requires an additional check of the following points: a) positioning of the sensor with respect to stone impact hazard, b) positioning and fixing of cable and connector with respect to mechanical damage, cable bending stress and thermal stress. The sensor must not be exposed to strong mechanical shocks (e.g. while the sensor is installed). Otherwise the sensor element may crack without visible damage to the sensor housing (Source: Bosch Y 258 K01 005-000e).
Operation of the System
When the ignition is turned on the status led will light up, this will indicate what the system is doing.
- Blinking Green - The sensor is on but the engine is not running. The sensor detects a rise in voltage when the engine is started and will start heating the sensor then.
- Blinking Red - Engine has started and sensor is warming up. The sensor should warm up within 30 seconds, if not there is a problem. If no sensor is plugged in the light will continue to blink red.
- Solid Green - Sensor is ready, the LED display will light up and read an accurate AFR.
- Solid Red - Problem with the heating circuit in the sensor. This could be caused by a bad sensor, exhaust that is too cold or too hot.
The WMS Wideband Controller uses a voltage sensor to determine when the engine is running to start heating the sensor, this increases sensor life. The sensor must see 13.3 volts to start heating, if it does not the status led will continue to blink green and no AFR will display. If you have a low output alternator or low voltage this may prevent the sensor from working. If this is a problem give us a call and we can solve this for you.
Narrow Band Simulation
To connect the WMS Wideband white wire to an EFI-computer follow the instructions below, depending on what type of O2 sensor is being used. Many EFI computers, especially factory computers, use the narrow band as one of its main sensors and must be retained for proper operation.
- 1-wire O2 sensor - White wideband wire goes directly to the signal wire.
- 2-wire O2 sensor - With engine off, measure resistance between each wire and the sensor body. The low resistance wire is the heater power for the sensor. Connect the white wideband wire directly to the other wire. Leave the heater power wire unconnected.
- 3-wire O2 sensor - Typically the 3 wires are heater power, ground and signal and are 2 white wires with 1 black wire.
Connect the white wideband wire to the black wire (signal) going to the EFI computer. Leave the other wires unconnected.
If the wiring colors are different:
- Heater power: 12V or more with engine running
- Ground: low resistance to chassis ground with engine off.
- Signal: The signal wire should fluctuate around 0.45V when the engine is warmed up. Connect the white wideband wire to this wire.
- 4-wire O2 sensor - connect the same as the 3 wire sensor above, there is one additional ground in a 4 wire sensor.
Some EFI-computers will create a fault when the heater power wires of the oxygen sensor are disconnected. In this case it is easiest to leave the stock O2 sensor where it is and weld in a new O2 bung for the wideband (see O2 Sensor location for more information). Leave the heater wires connected to the stock sensor so no fault codes are set.
* Caution *
The oxygen sensor is heated and gets very hot when powered or when in the exhaust. Do not touch the hot sensor. Do not let a hot sensor touch a combustible surface or use near flammable liquids or gases. Failure to follow these warnings may result in severe burns, explosions or fires.
When installed in the exhaust, the oxygen sensor MUST be connected and powered by the WMS Wideband control box whenever the car is running. An un-powered oxygen sensor will be quickly damaged when exposed to hot exhaust gases.
Calibration of the Sensor
No external calibration of the sensor is required. This function is controlled by the Bosch calibration chip in the WMS Wideband Control box. Other systems may require the user to do a frequent 'free air' calibration, but such systems are far less accurate.
Leaded Fuel Warning
DO NOT use the sensor with engines that burn leaded gasoline. Any O2 Sensor, including the Bosch Wideband sensor, do not function well with leaded gasoline, which will permanently damaged the sensor even after a short period of use .If you do need use the WMS Wideband O2 with leaded gasoline do as few runs as possible and remove it from the exhaust immediately after use.
Depending on the lead contents of the used fuel the expected service life time is (Source: Bosch Y 258 K01 005-000e):

Posts for tag: oral hygiene
You know what people say: "Protect your tooth enamel, and it will protect your teeth." Then again, maybe you've never heard anyone say that—but it's still true. Super strong enamel protects teeth from oral threats that have the potential to do them in.
Unfortunately, holding the title of "Hardest substance in the human body" doesn't make enamel indestructible. It's especially threatened by oral acid, which can soften its mineral content and lead to erosion.
That doesn't have to happen. Here are 5 things you can do to protect your enamel—and your teeth.
Don't brush too often. Brushing is essential for removing bacterial plaque, the main cause for dental disease. But more isn't always good—brushing too frequently can wear down enamel (and damage your gums, too). So, limit daily brushing to no more than twice a day.
Don't brush too soon. Oral acid normally peaks at mealtime, which can put your enamel into a softer than normal state. No worries, though, because saliva neutralizes acid within about an hour. But brushing before saliva finishes rebuffering could cause tiny bits of softened enamel to flake off—so, wait an hour after eating to brush.
Stop eating—right before turning in for the night, that is. Because saliva flow drops significantly during sleep, the decreased saliva may struggle to buffer acid from that late night snack. To avoid this situation, end your eating or snacking at least an hour before bedtime.
Increase your calcium. This essential mineral that helps us maintain strong bones and teeth can also help our enamel remineralize faster after acid contact. Be sure, then, to include calcium-rich foods and calcium-fortified beverages in your diet.
Limit acidic beverages. Many sodas, sports and energy drinks are high in acid, which can skew your mouth's normal pH. Go with low-acidic beverages like milk or water, or limit acidic drinks to mealtimes when saliva flows more freely. Also, consider using a straw while drinking acidic beverages to lessen their contact with teeth.
Remember, enamel isn't a renewable resource—once it's gone, it's gone. Take care of your enamel, then, so it will continue to take care of you!
If you would like more information on caring for your tooth enamel, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article “6 Tips to Help Prevent the Erosion of Tooth Enamel.”
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs wrapped up the NFL regular season in January, setting single-season records in both catches and receiving yards. The Bills handily beat the Miami Dolphins, earning themselves the second seed in the AFC playoffs, and Diggs certainly did his part, making 7 catches for 76 yards. But what set the internet ablaze was not Diggs' accomplishments on the field but rather what the camera caught him doing on the sidelines—flossing his teeth!
The Twitterverse erupted with Bills fans poking fun at Diggs. But Diggs is not ashamed of his good oral hygiene habits, and CBS play-by-play announcer Kevin Harlan expressed his support with “Dental hygiene is something to take note of, kids! There's never a bad place to floss” and “When you lead the NFL in catches and yards, you can floss anytime you want.”
We like to think so. There's an old joke among dentists:
Q. Which teeth do you need to floss?
A. Only the ones you want to keep.
Although this sounds humorous, it is borne out in research. Of note, a 2017 study showed that people who floss have a lower risk of tooth loss over periods of 5 years and 10 years, and a 2020 study found that older adults who flossed lost an average of 1 tooth in 5 years, while those who don't lost around 4 teeth in the same time period.
We in the dental profession stress the importance of flossing as a daily habit—and Stefon Diggs would likely agree—yet fewer than 1 in 3 Americans floss every day. The 2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), conducted by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, revealed that only 30% of Americans floss every day, while 37% floss less than every day and 32% never floss.
The biggest enemy on the football field may be the opposing team, but the biggest enemy to your oral health is plaque, a sticky film of bacteria and food debris that builds up on tooth surfaces. Plaque can cause tooth decay and gum disease, the number one cause of tooth loss among adults. Flossing is necessary to remove plaque from between teeth and around the gums where a toothbrush can't reach. If not removed, plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by the specialized tools used in the dental office. Regular professional dental cleanings are also needed to get at those hard-to-reach spots you may have missed.
If Diggs can find time to floss during a major NFL game, the rest of us can certainly find a couple minutes a day to do it. While we might not recommend Diggs' technique of flossing from one side of the mouth to the other, we commend his enthusiasm and commitment to keeping his teeth and gums healthy. Along with good dental hygiene at home—or on the sidelines if you are Stefon Diggs—regular professional dental cleanings and checkups play a key role in maintaining a healthy smile for life.
If you think there's not much difference between toothbrushes, a quick look on a retail oral care aisle might change your mind. About the only thing toothbrushes really have in common are a handle and bristled head.
Choosing the right toothbrush, therefore, might seem overwhelming. But choose you must: Your toothbrush is an essential tool in the fight against tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease. Without it, your odds for developing dental disease skyrocket.
Along with flossing, brushing is the best way to remove daily plaque buildup, that bacterial film most responsible for dental disease. Brushing also minimizes the buildup of tartar, the hardened form of plaque that's just as harmful as softer plaque. And, brushing stimulates your gum tissues to help prevent or lessen inflammation.
But back to all those brushes—with so many options to weigh, how do you come up with your best choice? Actually, there are some basic tips that can help you narrow things down.
Bristle stiffness. Considering other cleaning chores, you might think you'll need a stiff brush. The opposite—a soft-bristled brush—is usually true. Your toothpaste's mild abrasives and the mechanical action of brushing perform most of the plaque removal. And stiffer brushes could irritate and damage your gums or tooth enamel, leading to bigger problems.
Size and shape. Through a little trial and error (and advice from your dentist), you may find a brush with an angled or tapered neck helps you get into difficult places, especially around the back teeth. If you have problems with grip, you may also opt for a brush with a large diameter handle. Bottom line: Choose a brush you feel comfortable handling.
ADA Seal of Acceptance. Common on dental product packaging, this seal indicates that after rigorous testing the item meets the high standards of the American Dental Association, and that it does what the packaging says it does. Even so, some quality brushes don't have this seal, so ask your dentist their opinion on a particular brand.
There's one more critical component—how well you use your toothbrush. For that, ask your dentist or hygienist for tips on better brushing. Combining the right brush and technique goes a long way toward avoiding dental disease.
If you would like more information on choosing the right toothbrush for you, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article “Sizing Up Toothbrushes.”
Wearing braces can pose challenges for your daily life and habits. One in particular is trying to keep your teeth and gums clean.
Braces or not, your oral hygiene needs to be thorough. Every day, your teeth accumulate a thin film of bacteria and food particles called dental plaque that can cause tooth decay or gum disease. It's essential to remove as much as possible each day by brushing and flossing.
That's a more difficult task with braces. The brackets and wires interfere with accessing many of your teeth's surfaces with a toothbrush or floss. As a result, braces wearers on average have a higher incidence of dental disease than non-wearers.
But while it's difficult to keep your mouth clean wearing braces, it's not impossible. Here are some tips and tools for making oral hygiene easier during orthodontic treatment.
A low-sugar diet. Besides items like chips that could damage your braces, you should also limit your consumption of foods and snacks with added sugar. This carbohydrate is a primary food source for disease-causing bacteria. Limiting sugar in your diet can help reduce plaque buildup.
The right toothbrush. Brushing with braces is easier if you use a soft multi-tufted brush with microfine bristles. The smaller bristles maneuver better around the braces than larger bristled brushes. You'll still need to make multiple passes above and below the wires to be sure you're brushing all tooth surfaces.
Flossing tools. Traditional flossing using just your fingers can be next to impossible to perform with braces. But a tool like a floss holder or threader can make it easier to get between teeth. You might also try a water flosser that removes plaque from between teeth with a pressurized spray of water.
Dental treatments. Your dentist can give your teeth extra protection while you're wearing braces with topically applied fluoride to strengthen enamel. Using mouthrinses with an antibacterial ingredient like chlorhexidine may also reduce harmful bacteria.
Be sure you also keep up regular visits with your family dentist while wearing braces, and especially if you begin to notice puffy and reddened gums or unusual spots on your teeth. The sooner any case of dental disease is detected, the less impact it will have on your dental health.
If you would like more information on dental care while undergoing orthodontic treatment, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article “Caring for Teeth During Orthodontic Treatment.”
Madeline Stuart, acclaimed fashion model; Chris Burke, successful actor; Collette Divitto, founder of Collettey's Cookies. Each of them is accomplished in their own right—and each has Down syndrome. In October, Down Syndrome Awareness Month recognizes the achievements of people with Down syndrome overcoming incredible challenges. One such challenge, keeping their dental health on track, is something they and their families face every day.
Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder that happens when the body's cells contain an extra copy of chromosome number 21. This can cause a wide range of physical, intellectual and developmental impairments that, among other things, can contribute to dental disease and other oral health concerns.
But oral problems can be minimized, especially during childhood. Here are four ways to better manage dental care for a child with Down syndrome.
Begin dental visits early. Down syndrome patients can have physical challenges that could result in delayed tooth eruption, undersized teeth or smaller jaws that contribute to poor bite development and greater risk of tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease. To stay ahead of any developing issues, you should begin regular visits to the dentist no later than the child's first birthday.
Be aware of dental anxiety. Some children with Down syndrome experience significant anxiety about the clinical aspects of their care. We strive to provide a comfortable, caring environment for all patients, including those with special needs. A variety of relaxation techniques as well as sedation options may help to reduce anxiety.
Coordinate medical and dental care. Medical problems can affect dental care. Be sure, then, to keep us informed about your child's health issues. For example, heart defects are more common among those with Down syndrome, and dental patients with heart conditions may need to be treated with antibiotics before certain dental procedures to minimize the chances of infection.
Make daily hygiene easier. Daily brushing and flossing are important for everyone's dental health, but they can be difficult for someone with Down syndrome. In some cases, you may have to assist or even perform these tasks for your child. You can make oral hygiene easier by choosing toothbrushes that fit your child's level of physical ability or using special flossing devices.
The physical disabilities of those with Down syndrome fall along a wide spectrum, with some individuals needing more help than others. Tailoring their dental care to their specific needs and capabilities can help keep your child's teeth and gums healthy for the long term.
If you would like more information about providing dental care for children with disabilities, please contact us or schedule a consultation. To learn more, read the Dear Doctor magazine articles “Managing Tooth Decay in Children With Chronic Diseases” and “Dentistry & Oral Health for Children.”

Oval wheel flow meters meet a variety of requirements
Mike EdwardsProducts flow meters Kobold positive displacement
DOE/DON oval wheel flow meters from Kobold are suitable for the requirements of a series of applications. The units are used for precise flow measurement of all viscous, non-abrasive, clean liquids such as fuels, oil and lubricants.
Kobold oval gear flowmeters are categorized as positive displacement flow technology.
When liquid flows through this type of positive displacement flowmeter, two oval geared rotors measure a constant volume per rotation within a precisely machined measuring chamber.
With each rotation, a constant volume of liquid is measured. The rotation of the oval gears is sensed via magnets embedded within the rotors.
The magnets transmit a high-resolution pulse output. The output signal can be processed externally via a remote display controller or PLC or via a variety of output/display options available as accessories attached to the flowmeters.

Game of Thrones: Ned Stark star reveals the one role he won’t play
Game of Thrones season one saw Ned Stark (played by Sean Bean) meet a rather gruesome ending as King Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) ordered his beheading. He even made sure the act is carried out properly and watched on the sidelines as the blade chopped down Ned’s head.
Despite the death being early, it seemed the Hand of the King had already become a fan-favourite, leaving viewers devastated to see him go.
This wasn’t the only the only time the star played a character only to be killed off early.
The Game of Thrones actor has seen a lot of early deaths not only in Game of Thrones but 21 times over the course of his career.
Sean told The Sun: “I’ve turned down stuff.
- Game of Thrones: Ned Stark BETRAYED Jon Snow from the start
“I’ve said, ‘They know my character’s going to die because I’m in it!’ I just had to cut that out and start surviving, otherwise, it was all a bit predictable.
“I did do one job and they said, ‘We’re going to kill you’, and I was like, ‘Oh no!’ and then they said, ‘Well, can we injure you badly?’ and I was like, ‘OK, so long as I stay alive this time,'”
However, the actor revealed on The Jonathan Ross Show the nature of his death did result in a lot of fun on set as the team now had a fake severed head at their disposal.
Spilling a backstage secret, the star revealed the are used to play games with it on set.
Bean recalled that they played around with Ned’s head (or the dummy head) after the crew threw it on the floor.
“I think I started messing about with it a bit,” he said.
The antics soon caught on as the star revealed the crew “took it a bit further.”
Bean remembered that they “started throwing it, then started booting it.”

“We hope that they watch it and like it in the future. There’s no way to tell,”
“The landscape of television changes so quickly; it’s changing right now as we’re standing here.

That's the question dad and tech writer David Pogue looks at in a recent column of his at the New York Times. He writes about a past writing assignment on the subject, but now he looks at the kid-danger question in a new light: "As my own children approach middle school, my own fears align with the [PBS "Growing Up Online"] documentary’s findings in another way: that cyberbullying is a far more realistic threat. Kids online experiment with different personas, and can be a lot nastier in the anonymous atmosphere of the Internet than they would ever be in person (just like grown-ups). And their mockery can be far more painful when it’s public, permanent and written than if they were just muttered in passing in the hallway." Hear, hear!

Oman government and tanker companies are stepping up efforts to protect key shipping routes as the US accused Iran of being responsible for the attacks on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman.
Saudi Arabia has increased security around oil facilities and strategic areas on Saturday.
According to officials, the attacks have “exposed vulnerabilities” in the Strait of Hormuz.
“The key thing now is to find a way to deal with those type of attacks in the future and assure everyone that those routes are still safe”, informed Gulf officials further said.
According to the “the United Arab Emirates has joined shipping companies to increase sea-lane security in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman.”
US President Donald Trump also accused Iran over the attack saying that “Iran did do it”.
However, Iran has dismissed all allegations in the attack on the two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, calling them ‘baseless’.


First a cricket stadium and next -- consulates?
"What we are hoping to do is to get the CARICOM [Caribbean Community] nations to relocate to a more central part of South Florida, therefore being more accessible to the population that they serve," said Lauderhill Commissioner Dale Holness.
Commissioners today will take the first stab at Holness' resolution to invite the consulates to move to State Road 7 and Sunrise Boulevard.
Holness wants to house the CARICOM consulates in the proposed Caribbean marketplace, which will be built neighboring a proposed regional park and cricket stadium.
The marketplace, planned to open in 2006, is a proposal by George Rahael, a Coral Springs developer and president of Amera Corp. His purchase contract, which is up for final reading today, paves the way for the Caribbean marketplace, hotels, homes and stores next to the regional park and makes space available for the consulates.
Many consular officials already live in Broward County and the State Road 7 location would put them in the heart of the Caribbean community, Holness said.
But to relocate a consulate, which facilitates foreign travel, visa and immigration status, might be difficult. It involves gaining the support of local jurisdictions, the sponsoring nation and the State Department.
"I'm not in a position to say whether it can occur or not," said Jamaica's Consul General Ricardo Allicock. His consulate is responsible for not just South Florida, but 13 states--from North Carolina to as far west as Arizona.
"We serve the community. No one in Lauderhill or Broward County could suggest with validity that the presence of the CARICOM Consular Corps is not felt in Broward County," he said.
An embassy must get the U.S. government's approval to relocate, said Darlene Kirk of the State Department's public affairs office.
"Look, if it is halfway between the two counties they work the most, I would think that is a good enough reason," Kirk said. "We are not going to inconvenience them if it makes it easier," she said. She said it would be difficult, though not impossible, to get a large number of consulates to agree to move.
Such a move would come out of that country's budget. Of course, there would have to be coordination between local and federal law enforcement agencies, she said.
Rahael plans to pay $3 million for the former Kmart property that will house the marketplace. He also plans to purchase the old McArthur Dairy site across the street for $2.9 million.
The Caribbean marketplace should take up between 300,000 and 400,000 square feet, said Winston Fifi, project manager for Amera Corp. The total project is roughly 700,000 square feet.
"There is a separate building that is designed for the diplomatic corps, to suit the special needs of diplomatic consulate and their security needs, commercial sections and display space for trade activity," Fifi said.

Residents around the Bray area were left bewildered on Sunday night as emergency services rushed to the scene of an apparent rescue.
The Coast Guard, fire service, gardai, National Ambulance Service and Dun Laoghaire lifeboat all responded to reports of a person who fell off Bray cliff walk.
But it was not what it seemed, as upon arrival and after a thorough search, there was no signs of an emergency incident.
Gardai continue to investigate the incident which appears to be an alleged hoax.
Irish Coast Guard said: "Last night at 21.57 our Greystones and Wicklow units were tasked by MRCC Dublin to a reported cliff faller on the Bray side of the Bray head cliff walk.
"A thorough search of the area involving the Coast Guard units, Bray Fire Service, Bray Gardai, National Ambulance Service Paramedics, Coast Guard Helicopter Rescue 116 and Dun Laoghaire Lifeboat turned up nothing so they were stood down just after midnight and returned to their bases.
"Garda are investigating further."

“I would like to underlined the courage of both leaders. Historically and for the first time I must says that we saw at the same table not only the protagonists, but also the guarantor powers”, he said. He went on to say that there was a constructive dialogue that helped identify both the progress in negotiations and details that need to be focused on.
He added, however, that “No miracles of immediate solutions should be expected. We do not want am solution that mends things, but a viable solution”. Responding to questions by the press, he pointed out that solutions to all pending issues were being sought. “We are the starting point. The parties talked about security and guarantees”, stressed, adding that Cyprus could be become a beacon of hope for the world.

On the cover the president Joseph Biden and John Fitzgerald Kennedy in Dallas before assassination
Once again a Western Democracy that should shine for transparency and completeness of information on the great crimes of history becomes an accomplice of the conspirators.
Just as in the case of Dag Hammarskjold, the UN secretary general who died in Africa in 1961 in a plane crash that many investigative sources believe was an attack, even for the famous JFK the truth remains hidden by some puppeteers of the Deep State.
If in the case of the Swedish diplomat it was British Intelligence that opposed the total declassification of the MI6 counter-intelligence documents, in the case of the former American president it is the current tenant of the White House, Joseph Biden, to postpone the publication of some documents.
They treat citizens like stupid children who could hurt to know the plots of plots, especially at a time when the world is facing a pandemic by SARS-Cov-2 virus that distinguished scientists and intelligence experts believe was created in the laboratory.
Perhaps we will soon publish an important international investigation that correlates the assassination of Kennedy with the attacks of 11 September.
Note by Gospa News director
Published by Sputnik International,
The White House released a memorandum on Friday announcing that it would delay information in certain records related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy — a publication that was scheduled to be released this Tuesday. The memo explains the continued postponement under statutory standard and the possibility of a longer postponement if the Biden administration deemed it necessary.

“It’s an outrage. It’s an outrage against American democracy. We’re not supposed to have secret governments within the government,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reportedly told POLITICO. “How the hell is it 58 years later, and what in the world could justify not releasing these documents?”
Kennedy Jr.’s cousin, former US Representative from Rhode Island Patrick Kennedy, also criticized the decision, saying that the records should be released not because of his family, but because American citizens have a right to know about “something that left such a scar in this nation’s soul that lost not only a president but a promise of a brighter future.”
“I think for the good of the country, everything has to be put out there so there’s a greater understanding of our history,” he said.

Biden’s decision to hold back records that were set to be declassified in 2017, and postponed for four years by former President Donald Trump, creates a “tendency to distrust government in general,” according to Patrick Kennedy.
“We’re living in a time of a lot of conspiracy theories… there’s a whole lot of bureaucratic obfuscation. Every agency needs to exercise their own right to redact certain portions [of the records], which you know is what fuels the whole conspiracy theory.” Kennedy Jr. allegedly agreed with his late father’s belief that his uncle was assassinated as part of a broader conspiracy.

The Biden administration recounted the “significant impact” of the COVID-19 pandemic as a cause for slowing down the process of reviewing whether redactions continue to meet the “statutory standard” — triggering the Kennedy nephews to comment on the prolonged release of the records.
In a written statement as part of the memo, the White House promised that the “public will have access to a tranche of previously withheld records and redacted information withheld in previously released records,” in a little over a year on December 15, 2022.

Q&A with Jewel Kaye
After years of contributing to Sludge Mag's growth Jewel Kaye joins the platform as creative director
Over the years multidisciplinary artist Jewel Kaye has been plying his craft as a designer, painter, stylist and creative director. As part of the Boys Don't Cry art collective he has seen his artwork featured in The Face and 10men magazine and displayed as part of Behind The Glass, an exhibition showcased at Central Saint Martins Museum & Study Collection. Though he has gone on to become an integral part of the collective, his inclusion began almost by accident. "I went to the first Boys Don’t Cry group shows purely as a fan and I eventually got invited to join. I was super happy because I really loved all the artists who were part of it. I love their work and I really like the guys on a personal level also" he tells me.
Away from his easel he's also hit the catwalk for Kitty Joseph. The bright colours and flowing silhouettes mirrored his own style perfectly. His slight frame is often draped with a range of gender non-conforming outfits, characterised by bold silhouette juxtapositions. He marries super tight trousers with baggier layers up top. Plenty of frills and frays, rips and patches. Painted nails and lots of accessories and quirky headwear. Society is (slowly) opening up to the possibilities of life beyond strict gender binaries. He cites Young Thug as a pioneering figure in his own style choices. I wonder if his understanding of manhood shapes his art approach at all. "I think the creative world is tricky for anyone of any gender so you got to believe in what you're doing 100% because you can see something that no one else can and you’ve got to bring it to life. It’s sometimes a lonely thing but it can also introduce you to the most interesting people who are also on their own creative mission."
Last year one of his longstanding creative missions finally came to life with the release of his debut line . The pandemic served as a time to focus and finally put plans in action. The IDEAL collection from his brand WIJNRUIT married his love of motorcycles with an affinity for illustration and texture experimentation. "The first 'official' Wijnruit collection was born in lockdown from ideas I had before I came to London, I had been putting it off until I finally felt like I had the ability to make what was in my head, like alchemy. Lockdown was the perfect time to do a secret project because it was like time stopped. When the world started turning again I was really into what I’d made and I got encouraged from all directions to “do something” with the pieces so I gave up and let it out"
With so many creative outlets one has to wonder if it ever gets overwhelming. "I struggle to be fully present a lot of the time because I’m exploring ideas constantly, even if I don’t really want to but I guess it’s better than having a lack of ideas. Sometimes it’s annoying that I can’t do all of it." One can only imagine what the arts landscape would look like if he could execute all of his ideas, even though there would probably need to be about 10 of him.
You may wonder what Sludge Mag will look like with this creative behemoth at the helm; if you've been paying attention you'll already know. From assisting to styling and creative directing - the platform has long benefitted from having him involved in some of our landmark projects. The skirts worn by Nadia Whittome and Um-E-Ayman Babar in our Sludge Mag x Art of Football campaign were handmade by him. His first creative direction role for us was the feature for Loue Marc's DONTKILLYOURSELF EP release and more recently he lent his vision to our editorial with Jordan Stephens around the release of Let Me Die Inside You where he used baroque influences and updated them with punk sensibilities. Having contributed so much so far, in his role as creative director - the best is yet to come.

It amazed me, all of the unique ice cream flavors at the quaint, tucked away Alleyway Ice Cream spot. Sure, you find lots of concepts similar to this in big cities, but Julian Hom’s ice cream doesn’t compare to anything I’ve seen upstate. His flavor combos are developed through the critical eye of a foodie and well-seasoned traveler. It’s a complete experiment of risk that he is always willing to take! So, I took it upon myself to experiment flavors with him. We both found beauty in the prettiest colors and textures imagining the final product to taste as lovely as it looked. Our first flavor was made with an elderflower ice cream base, edible flowers and homemade crunchy honeycomb. It’s floral and refreshing reminding me of a sweet cocktail encompassed in an ice cream scoop! And, as a gal who loves her toppings, this one should only be consumed solo. It’s rare that I ever want to do this!
Julian also wanted to create a flavor with some tang to it! Creamy goat cheese with swirls of pomegranate molasses gave this cone some edginess. It’s definitely a flavor that should also be eaten without any added toppings other than a little drizzle of more molasses.

Midtown Manhattan church engulfed in flames: ‘Irreplaceable’ 160-year-old Orthodox Christian cathedral is consumed by blaze
A church was completely gutted by a huge fire on the west side of Manhattan in New York. The blaze broke out at the Serbian Cathedral of Saint Sava on 25th Street in Manhattan’s Flatiron district at around 7pm on Sunday. It is not known how the fire started, but Easter celebrations were held in the building earlier in the day, including a lunch at 1pm, according to the church’s website. The extent of the damage is also currently unknown, but images taken by bystanders appear to show the entire building has been destroyed. Three fire engines were scrambled to deal with the fire, FDNY said, as flames could be seen shooting from the rose window at the front of the building. Views from above show the fire streaming from the apex of the church roof, around 50ft above street level. (More from Daily Mail)
Fire engulfed the Macedonian Orthodox Church, Rockdale, south of Sydney (this is not the first time)
Several firefighters were injured by falling bricks and two retirement home residents were taken to hospital as a fire destroyed a church at Rockdale, in Sydney’s south.
- Macedonian Orthodox Church, Rockdale, destroyed by fire
- Four people, including two firefighters, taken to hospital with minor injuries
- Sixty firefighters fought the fire for several hours
Witnesses said flames began billowing out of the Macedonian Orthodox Church’s steeple before emergency services arrived just before 10:00pm on Sunday.
About 60 firefighters from 15 stations were called to battle the blaze, which took several hours to contain.
Three firefighters were injured and two were taken to hospital for treatment after bricks from the collapsing church struck them.
Authorities said they had since been released – one with a minor leg injury, and one with a minor back injury.
About 60 residents from a neighbouring retirement home were evacuated and two residents were taken to hospital with chest pains.
NSW Fire and Rescue Commissioner Greg Mullins said firefighters were surprised at how intense the fire was.
“It was a very quick collapse,” he said.
“They were surprised by the intensity of the fire and how quickly the building collapsed, and it almost caught people by surprise.
“We’re very lucky only three firefighters were injured.”
Commissioner Mullins said the firefighters who were taken to hospital were both hit by bricks from a collapsing wall.
“One of them hit him on the air cylinder that he was wearing, knocked him to the ground. He was dragged out by colleagues,” he said.
“Another firefighter was struck by bricks along one side on the shoulder, chest and leg.”
Uniting Bruce Sharpe aged care facility resident Ted Nurse said the emergency services had done a wonderful job.
“We could see the flames coming up from the church and it was very high, you know we were very lucky,” he said.
“We’ve been well looked after. While we’ve been sitting out here, they’ve made sure we’re not too cold.
“They’re not given enough thanks, our emergency services.”
NSW Fire and Rescue Superintendent Greg Rankin said it was too early to say what had started the fire.
It would have been difficult for an arsonist to light the fire without being detected, he said.
“At 10 o’clock, it’s still pretty busy, it’s a pretty busy area around here, and there would have been a lot of people that would have seen someone do something, but again until we actually get someone in to have a look [we don’t know],” he said.
Superintendent Rankin said candles and electrical wiring were both possible causes.
He said police and fire investigators would return to the scene today.

The Palm Beach County school district rolled out its experts on year-round schools on Tuesday night, anticipating a challenging crowd of parents at Sandpiper Shores Elementary School.
And challenge they did.
About 150 parents of children at the west Boca Raton school wanted to know what was in year-round education for them, and more important, what was in it for their children.
They also asked about child care for working parents, construction of new schools as a solution to overcrowding, and the validity of the telephone survey of 100 parents at each of 15 elementary schools under consideration for the district proposal.
The school district is considering year-round education as one of several ways to relieve overcrowding in county schools. Students would attend class for 180 days, the same as now, but would take multiple three-week breaks between sessions, instead one long summer vacation.
The School Board requested a parental response survey, which will begin Nov. 1 and probably take three weeks to complete, said Judy A. Hoffman, vice president of Profile Marketing Research in Lake Worth. The company has contracted with the district to complete a survey, selecting parents at random at each of the affected schools.
Parent Sam May asked why the district was not surveying all the parents at the affected schools, instead of 1,500.
"The survey is selecting a random sampling of parents, for an accurate reading of each school population's response to this issue," said education specialist Wayne Nagy, the district's expert on year-round schools.
"If you do a paper vote that students take home and parents mail in, you only get back the ones that are violently opposed or strongly in favor of it. You don't get the middle of the road responses. We want an overall statistical balance for our survey."
After a brief slide presentation with information compiled from research from other school districts, Nagy and south area superintendent Elizabeth Decker fielded questions from the Sandpiper Shores audience.
Because of the three-week intersessions, parents were concerned about the need for additional child care.
"Who's going to man these child care centers?" asked one parent who said she worked at a day care center in Boca Raton. "We're understaffed as it is."
Decker said the child care needs in Orange County's schools, which began year-round schools five years ago, were filled by "free enterprise, including joint ventures between businesses and the School Board."
Nagy said the need for additional child care in Orange County actually drove down the price of care, and the centers were happy they did not need to concentrate all their staff and efforts on summer camps.
Loraine Russo wanted to know what was in it for her child, a third-grader at Sandpiper Shores.
Nagy said the students will have a better retention of class materials from session to session and less need for review.
Eventually, he said, class sizes could be reduced, but that won't happen immediately.
At Sandpiper Shores, 1,507 students attend classes in a building constructed for 676.
"There is no guarantee schools will be less overcrowded, at least not immediately," Nagy said. "Year-round schools do not automatically change class size."
Another option the district could pursue to reduce crowding, Nagy said, would be double scheduling, which is largely unpopular because of scheduling headaches. Some students would begin school in the morning and others would attend in the afternoon.
Dan Mulhern asked whether year-round schedules would slow the construction of new schools.
"Development of new schools will not stop," Nagy said.
"There is no question the district is pursuing numerous construction options," he said. "And new construction and additions will continue regardless of the implementation of year-round education in our schools."

A Public Service Announcement (PSA) can be written or presented in audio or visual form. For our purposes, we’ll talk about the written script only.
Unlike a press release, a public service announcement is usually transmitted electronically, via radio or television in a short spot of ten to sixty seconds. A requirement of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is that stations donate a certain amount of airtime to serve the public and the community. Most public radio and TV stations have a community calendar for which they will announce events to the public. Health or safety tips are included within this public service requisite.
A public service announcement typically heralds a community event, usually, but not always, for a non-profit organization. Commercial groups can also announce non-profit events or services. If you just want a pre-event plug, the community calendar is where you should direct your PSA. Many local newspapers also have community calendars so PSA’s are not limited to electronic media.
Though the PSA covers less material than the archetypal press release, it requires the same “who, what, where, when and why.” You have several choices when deciding what type of coverage you’d like to have. You may not always get it, but you can at least know what to shoot for. You can aim for just the pre-event announcement which would go to the Calendar; you can try for an on-camera interview to have yourself or a personal representative announce the event; you can request a video taping of the actual event to be aired later on the news or at a future date of significance such as in advance of next year’s event or at any other time. You can also submit your own video, but that’s another subject.
The technicalities of writing a PSA differ somewhat from media outlet to media outlet. But If you use the following basics as your guide, you won’t go wrong. Instead of putting “FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE” on the top left hand side of the page as you do for a press release, you put “PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT” at the top middle of the single sheet of paper followed by a few spaces and then the date that you’d like your announcement to air. If you have stationary with your company’s logo, you can work your format around that. Next, include name, phone, email, and fax of the contact person. Skip a few lines and entitle your announcement, in bold letters, by the name of the event, followed by a short, concise explanation of what you want aired. State what type of coverage you seek. Send it about three weeks in advance. At the end, write ‘-end-‘ or ‘# # #,’ as you do in a press release.
You need to know your plan ahead so you can send your PSA to the proper person or department. Personal contact, of course, is the most ideal, meaning you or someone you know has a personal contact or influence at the media outlet. In that case, it’s full steam ahead and you write it any way that person wants it. Otherwise, you must proceed as do most of us mere mortals, by directing your PSA to the target point. For a single-mailing PSA, call the station and get the proper name of the Department head and address it to her or him.
If you are doing a mass mailing to several media outlets, then the only way to address your PSA is to the Public Service Director at the different addresses to which you are sending them. Then add “Community Calendar” or “Program Director” or “On Air Interviews,” depending upon which coverage you seek. Stations don’t necessarily use these titles but common sense says it will increase your chances of getting your PSA to the proper department.

Rated 8 out of 10 by Michaelmnn Love it
The games delivers everything it intended too. I will agree it caters to those who play online alot with friends. But even for solo gamer (myself included), you can gather those friends online if you wish. The environments are rich and massive,and allow for a very immersive experience with the right match. Graphics are great along with the sound. I think allot of people get drawn into the hype which honestly no games lives up to after 50k is spent on marking at a minimum. The game offers exactly what it sought out too. A large hunt, a large environment where your perspective skills are put to the challenge. Cooperative team play is a must to win any match. As for the monster you must know how to move around the environment to stop detection. All of this obviously comes with time, so if you're looking to touch the game and 15 seconds later be great you're in for a let down. It requires time and your rewarded with the effort you put in.
Rated 4 out of 10 by somedude44 Fun for a little while, but not much staying power
I had lot of fun playing this game as the monsters for the first 8 hours or so, unlocking each of them and learning their basic strategies. I had a pretty good time for about the next 10-12 hours playing as the hunters, unlocking each of them and learning each of their basic strategies. But, once that was done, I got bored super fast. I'm 23 hours in and I'm pretty much ready to move on. That's just nowhere near enough staying power for a multi-player game these days. It needs more monsters, more hunters, better variety in maps, and more variety in game modes to stay fresh longer. But, unfortunately, you have to pay a considerable sum in order to get more hunters and more monsters($15 per each new monster and $25 for 4 new hunters when they become available). That's just way to expensive, I think, to add on to a game that already feels way too thin. I wanted this one to be a winner, and for a short while it was, but the thrill of the hunt faded waaaay too fast.
Rated 10 out of 10 by TheGlove Great game for casual to hardcore gamers!
I've been playing this game for many, many hours on PS4 since its release and I must say this game does not dissappoint. The game is intended for online multiplayer but is equally enjoyable for anyone who doesn't have internet access. I like playing as the Monster class the most, but I equally enjoy playing as any of the four Hunter classes as well. This is a fresh shooter for anyone who is getting tired of games like COD and Battlefield and perfect for anyone like me who grew up to love monsters and like the idea of being the boss battle. I do recommend to create a my2k account to anyone who plays online, because this is what will allow you to particpate in community challenges and use any bonus skins outside of each character's Elite skin (assuming that is important to you). Overall, I highly recommend this game and look forawrd to the additional DLC Hunters and Monsters to come. So the only question is... Work together or be the boss battle?
Rated 8 out of 10 by Ikaeye This game is good
I think its fun to play with friends, and is very fun and challenging, it has a lot of upgrades wich are important in a game
Rated 8 out of 10 by nation001 We will See
So far I've been playing the game for a week and I have enjoyed the game. I can say that every match is different and how you play is an important part. The concept of the game of playing hide an seek and looking for the monster or hiding as the monster is what interested me in playing. I've heard that if you play with random people you won't do well in this game, which I think is totally untrue. I've played most of my matches with random people and won some and lost some.
The graphics are good, would have been better if the maps were a little different. Most are in the jungle but they did a very good job in detail and the weather changing is a great idea, it changes the way you play.
The sound of the game is great too, I usually use headphones so it sounds amazing, at all the things you hear.
The only problem that I'm still worried about is how long will I be playing this game. The last game I bought was Destiny and that was in September. Still not sure how long I will be playing evolve but I like the game so far.
Rated 1 out of 10 by desertpunk1884 disappointing to say the least...
I never write reviews. But this game is such a disappointment that I just had to let you guys know. Some of you might find this game fun, most of you wont. there's something about paying full price for half a game that just kills me. And that's exactly what EVOLVE is, half a game. There's no type of campaign what so ever or any kind of creative single player. It's literally you playing 4v1 by yourself or you playing 4v1 with your friends and or you playing 4v1 with strangers and or friends lol. It's very boring And repetitive game play which makes the game feel beyond incomplete. I'm on day two of this game and I'm over it. I've done the same exact thing over and over again for two days now. lol I'm taking this game back to gamestop as soon as I get the chance. And I recommend you guys rent it or play it at a friends house before you buy it because you just might end up disappointed like a good portion of us already are.
Rated 9 out of 10 by Ataraxicatom Medic is not melee...
This game is fun. That's the most important thing about a game; you have to enjoy playing it. I was worried about balance when I first started playing it. I played as the monster and got wrecked. Then I played as a hunter and completely owned the monster with my team mates. I thought that it was broken until my third match. We couldn't find the monster. He was scaring birds and running around in circles. Then out of nowhere, he jumps out of a bush and kills 2 of us. We ran, he followed. We split up and he chased me down and killed me. The support got away. .He was still stage one. He went for stage 2 while 3 of us were down. We landed again as he got stage 3 and he made no pretense of hiding; he just walked right up and decimated us. I've played quite a few games since then and the game is balanced. It doesn't matter what you play, hunters or monster, you are going to have a lot of fun.

The cover may look amazing and you may think this game may be fun. It's not at all. The graphics and the sound are amazing but there is not story line the maps are boring and the characters repeat the same thing constantly. Ugh..........this game puts me to sleep. Don't buy this game.
Rated 3 out of 10 by kdenshrek Overhyped
I have waited for this game for a long time. I was up till midnight to play the game and felt like this game was good. I wake up play it for 3 or 4 hours and this game is so boring. Its the 4 day and I've almost unlock everything. This game is so so overhyped. The same thing every game never have I played such a boring game. I also would like to say that this game was not ready to come out. Could of put in some sort of small story but instead all it is it trapping the monster then killing it in the first 5-10 min. If you played the beta then that is all that you need game doesn't provide much more then the beta. Let me also mention that micro transactions are in the game meaning that you can spend your hard earned money on $5 skins that should either already be in the game or in the season pass better off waiting until some polished games come out for next gen consoles.
Rated 1 out of 10 by frogprince359 Kill it with fire!
And stab it in the throat. After 30 minutes (not even) I realized "where's the story?" This game deserves a shallow grave so that other game comp can come along and scavenge it, ripping it piece to piece. Painting drying had more plot and story line. VERY disappointing and misleading on trailers.

‘I feel we are being railroaded’
RIVERSIDE — The Riverside City Council approved a new flood plain map Monday that will cover 15 properties that were not in the flood plain before. The council voted 4-1 to approve the amendments to the ordinance chapter on flood plains, and also voted to waive the second and third readings of the ordinance.
Councilor Ralph Schnoebelen voted against the flood plain map while the other four councilors, Bob Schneider Jr., Kevin Kiene, Nate Kasdorf and Christine Kirkwood voted in favor of it.
Jason Conn of the Iowa DNR attended the meeting to discuss the ins and outs of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) flood plain map. The councilors asked Conn what would happen if the city did not adopt the map.
Conn said that one of the ramifications of failing to adopt the FEMA flood plain map was that Riverside residents would not be able to get federally funded flood insurance. He said that if a flood affected Riverside, very limited FEMA funds would be available to those residents in the flood plain.
Regardless of whether the city adopts the new flood plain map or not, lenders will adopt the new map and they will require property owners in the flood plain to have flood insurance. However, Conn warned that the insurance will be very expensive for those property owners if the city does not adopt the flood plain map and participate in federal flood insurance.
Lenders will begin using the new map when it goes into effect nationally on Jan. 16.
Schneider asked Conn if the map could be changed, since he did not feel it accurately represented the flood plain in town. Conn informed him that the city could hire a consulting firm to collect flood data, better data than what FEMA uses, and present that data to FEMA. FEMA would then consider altering the map to reflect the best data.
The council opened up discussion for a public hearing on the map. Riverside resident Jim Figgins was one of 15 property owners on the south side of town who would be included in the new flood plain map who were not included in the old one.
Figgins said he’s worried about his property being instantly devalued once it was placed in the flood plain. He said he did not think the flood plain maps reflected the true danger that the property owners on the south side of town faced.
“I know for a fact none of these places has flooded in the past 55 years,” he said. “I feel we’re being railroaded. We should get in touch with Kalona to find out how to change this.”
Figgins also asked why the new flood plain map was not publicized more given its important implications for the people it includes. City Administrator Rusty Rogerson said the city followed the protocol of publicizing the hearings in the appropriate venues.
Councilor Nate Kasdorf said it should have been FEMA’s responsibility to contact the homeowners individually, not the city’s.
In other news, Rogerson recommended to remove building inspector Terry Goerdt from the city’s payroll and instead to name him a consultant. Rogerson said the city loses about $2,400 a year after subtracting Goerdt’s annual salary of $3,760 from the revenue generated by building fees, which is $1,325. He said the city might want to increase its building permit fees.
Goerdt requested the city increase his hourly pay rate from $35 to $40. While the council was on the subject of a building inspector, it considered hiring Jim Pope to replace Goerdt as its inspector. Pope, who is already Kalona’s building inspector, offered to perform the inspector duties for $35 an hour.
The city is sending out requests for letters of interest from local attorneys who might wish to be the city’s attorney. The city attorney is currently Les Lamping.
The council considered a hotel/motel tax grant request from the Riverside Area Community Club (RACC) for $8,970. Most of that, $6,000, was for the fireworks show, which is put on by the Stumptown Shooters.
Kirkwood said Riverside residents greatly enjoy the fireworks show, and that last year’s show was a bit disappointing. She suggested increasing the budget for fireworks $1,000, to bring RACC’s grant request to $9,970. The council approved the change.

Equal Education media statement: Equal Education in Pietermaritzburg High Court tomorrow asking it to declare that KZN Education Department and SAPS violated the Constitutional right of EE members to protest and that they must publicly apologise #Right2Protest
Tomorrow, Friday 2 August, Equal Education (EE) represented by the Equal Education Law Centre (EELC), will be in the Pietermaritzburg High Court, asking it for an order declaring that the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) SAPS and KZN Department of Education violated the Constitutional right of EE members to protest on 11 July 2017, and that the KZN Police Commissioner and the KZN Education MEC issue an appropriate public apology for this violation.
We are asking for an apology, as the Constitutional Court has recognised that an apology constitutes a remedy that can restore dignity, and deter government from violating citizens’ rights in future.
To read the court papers click here. #Right2Protest
At the protest that was unlawfully shut down, we intended to publicly screen a short film, called the Long Walk to School, outside the Pietermaritzburg office of the KZN DoE. The film documents the years of struggle endured by EE members to secure scholar transport.
On that day, having complied with all the formalities in the Gatherings Act, we began to protest peacefully. Despite this we were approached by police officers and the KZN DoE’s head of security, who challenged whether we had “permission” to gather, and eventually ordered our members to disperse.
On questioning the order to disperse, we were told to approach a court should we feel aggrieved, and that if we did not disperse, police officers would make use of teargas – a completely disproportionate response to our peaceful protest. Among the EE members present were Equalisers (school-going members of EE) younger than 18-years-old.
The comments of the Equalisers in the court papers include:
“When other police officials arrived… I got scared and threatened. When there’s angry police in a protest, protestors get shot or beaten up and I was worried that could happen.”
“When police arrive, I should feel safe, but I didn’t because they were angry and threatened me and EE members.”
“I wanted to protest that day to show people that here in KZN, people are suffering. When I saw the police, I felt as if we had no right to say anything… they just chased us away.”
“I feel frustrated that police were called, we all needed to be treated equally. I was angry because I wanted to express my feelings about the transport problem.”
Due to the flagrant violation of a critical democratic right, EE instructed the EELC to write to SAPS and the KZN DoE about what had happened. In the absence of any meaningful response, EE then decided to approach the court for assistance.
The office of the KZN MEC for Education is opposing the case, alleging that there were defects in our “permit” for the gathering, although by law, there is no requirement for such a “permit”. The MEC’s office also makes the claim that the KZN DoE’s rights were violated by not being invited to the pre-protest meeting organised in terms of the Gatherings Act – but it is the duty of the State to invite all relevant parties to that meeting, and there is nothing in law saying the meeting must include the officials who are the subject of the protest. It would be entirely absurd to punish the organisers of a gathering, who are often marginalised and poor people, for the failure of a certain organ of State to attend the pre-protest meeting. The response of the office of the MEC demonstrates a concerning lack of knowledge regarding the law relating to protests.
The Constitutional Court affirmed the importance of the right to protest for children in a historic ruling last year (in a case in which EE intervened as a friend of the court), when it declared sections of the Gatherings Act invalid. The court stated:
“[i]t must be emphasised that for children, who cannot vote, assembling, demonstrating and picketing are integral to their involvement in the political process. By virtue of their unique station in life the importance of the section 17 right [the right to protest] has special significance for children who have no other realistic means of expressing their frustrations.”.
We cannot allow the trampling of the rights of EE members to organise. For children in poor communities this is one of the only powerful means of expressing a political voice. Though we see litigation largely as a last resort, we hope that after more than a year of waiting for an acknowledgment of wrongdoing, and an apology, that our judiciary will ensure that justice is done for EE as a movement, and for children, activists and communities seeking to organise and protest throughout the country.

Ninja has left Twitch and is now streaming only on Mixer. This has left a large hole at that website. Who will step up to be the next Ninja? Sure, some already popular streamers at Twitch might be better candidates for taking over the top spot. But maybe someone else could become the next Twitch superstar? That’s what I asked you fine folks to do and you provided some... strange suggestions.
Our winning image this week comes from GLLong76 who gets a bit meta with their choice. I haven’t played any Persona games, but from what I understand about the series this doesn’t actually seem that outlandish.
A wide range of people were suggested. Some real, some famous, some fake, and some strange choices for a platform about streaming video games.
