On the weekend there was a minor geomagnetic storm which enveloped the Earth for a couple of days. Around midnight on Sunday I could see a green glow along the northern horizon so I walked down to the Elbow River. It runs near my backyard and I was quickly down at the water. A couple of hours saw a few sprites stretch away from thick Aurora band which stayed low in the sky. However the Northern Lights were comfortable doing a slow waltz on this night. Next time I’ll hope for a more energetic dance but I certainly enjoyed the quiet beauty that was shared.
Last weekend there was a break in the storms where blue sky appeared for an hour or two in the afternoon. It was cold but the sunshine was inviting so I strapped on snowshoes and headed outside. The Elbow River is still largely frozen over so a walk along the plain at the north end of Redwood Meadows seemed a good call. The clouds left with snow trailing just behind their departure.
I ended up playing around more than covering any real distance. The slope from the berm to the river was a fun distraction as I jumped down into the snow and clambered up again a few times.
I ended with a short trek onto the plain and then back along the forest. A few photographs of some wintering berries close to the berm coincided with the clouds closing in again. The snow began to fly and I made my way home.
A morning walk brought me to this scene along the Elbow River a little after sunrise. With snow falling outside as I write this, it feels like that may have been one of the last autumn landscape photographs for me for the year.
I walked my dog early this morning and when I looked to the north could see the Northern Lights rippling and snapping above the horizon. The hound was returned home and replaced by my camera. I walked down to the Elbow River which runs nearby and spent a couple of hours photographing the Aurora Borealis before it faded out against the approaching dawn. I’m feeling very lucky to be able to enjoy such a show in my backyard!
Last weekend there was a massive storm in the sky on Saturday night. Not the thunder and lightning kind – though there was a very energetic rain shower around 2am – rather a geomagnetic storm. With that came bright auroras which rippled and shot for several hours. The rain actually woke me up and when I looked outside, I could see the Northern Lights between gaps in the clearing clouds.
I picked up some gear and headed outside right away. Living near Bragg Creek we have dark skies except for the glow from Calgary to the east so it was easy to see the show right from my deck. When I walked over to the banks of the Elbow River, it coincided with an intense burst that lasted for almost twenty minutes. I woke my daughter up later when I went back home and we were able to catch another smaller outburst – her first in real-time. Easily the best part of a great night.
When the Northern Lights brightly lit up the sky on May 8th, I went out to a favourite spot along the Elbow River on the edge of Redwood Meadows. The river there is dotted with sets of rocks near the shore which provide interesting elements and break up the reflection in an attractive way. The landscape is beautiful and supported the main show in the sky above well. The Aurora streamed across the sky from the northern horizon to well past the zenith. The image below was taken with the camera pointing almost straight up.
There was an intense auroral storm that started late on May 7th and rang in Mother’s Day with vibrant ripples and sheets until just before dawn. This session of the Aurora Borealis was the most vibrant I’ve watched over the past five years. For three hours I watched the sky being canvassed with impossibly bright streams of spray paint. I enjoyed watching them on the northern edge of my community along the banks of the Elbow River. I thought it was a great start to Mother’s Day and certainly worth losing most of a good night’s sleep to watch the sky.
I went out for a mountain bike this morning along the Elbow River. The temperature was near -20°C and the snow-covered trails were a bit slippery – and it was a great ride. It was before the sun had come up and the land was emerging from the dark draped in soft, bluish light. The alpen glow in the clear sky to the west added a magical pink hue to the scene.
These two images were taken before and after the sunlight lit up the Kananaskis mountains. The first was at 8:27 and the next 13 minutes later, just a minute after sunrise.
The Aurora Borealis has been very strong for a few nights in a row, reaching southern Alberta regularly which comes after what has seemed like a very long absence. Perhaps it has just been me that was absent for shows since last year but being out for this one on the night of March 18-19. When I went out at 11pm, there was a dull green bow low in the sky towards Calgary. After a while, the arch began to glow brighter and stretch higher. Columns then started to separate from the green band and the arch itself dissolved. For the next couple of hours the lights shifted their shapes, colors and intensity.
I was out on the berm that sits between Redwood Meadows and the Elbow River. The height of the berm, the rocky shoreline and the snow remnants allowed for a variety of perspectives. The three and half hours that the Northern Lights performed allowed me the time to explore these. It was an amazing night.

In the middle of the active Aurora that reached southern Alberta the lights were reflecting brightly over the waters of the Elbow River in Redwood Meadows.
The night after St. Patrick’s Day brought out the Aurora Borealis over southern Alberta. Along the Elbow River, west of Calgary, the bands of color rippled in the sky and on the surface of the water for several hours. I met two photographers, Stacey and Clif, out on the berm. They had come out to Redwood Meadows in search of the Northern Lights. The show took a little while to start so it was nice to chat while we waited. When the lights did start to dance it was beautiful. I will share more images from the night soon as the colours and mood changed throughout the night and allowed for great variety.
The early light worked well with a few interesting clouds hanging above Elbow Falls on the day I was up there this weekend. The soft pink ahead of sunrise shared the sky with the waning full moon early. As the clouds turned to a deep peach color I moved just above the waterfall. From there the reflections of colour on the excited water were beautiful and I watched the morning open up.

text: This is the advantage of these decorative elements, which bring a soft atmosphere to our living rooms if we know how to integrate them subtly. The idea is not to denote with your current decoration. The apples of small cypresses, by their very natural connotation, merge into associations of elements sometimes surprising! There is no need to imagine very complicated decorations: their particular geometry is often enough on its own to embellish our interiors and to set the tone of a festive and colorful interior and offers infinite possibilities. Whether for events such as Christmas, New Year's Eve or Epiphany, they are the essential decorative element for your festive tables!


As Toronto prepares to phase in updates to its Green Standard, some building industry members have concerns about how the changes will affect development in the city.
Updates to the original standard, which was first implemented in 2010, will come into effect this January. New developments of all types – lowrise, mid-rise and highrise commercial, industrial and residential properties – will need to meet the new base tier 1 level of their corresponding standards.
According to Joe D’Abramo, acting director of zoning bylaw and environmental planning for the City of Toronto, the most noteworthy change to the Toronto Green Standard is the increase in energy efficiency targets for building operations. New mid-rise and highrise tier 1 buildings must have 15 per cent higher energy efficiency than the current Ontario Building Code. Buildings that aim for the optional tier 2 must be 25 per cent better than code.
But not all Toronto developers are embracing this change.
According to Leona Savoie, co-chair of the Toronto chapter of the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) and vice-president of development at Hullmark, the introduction of energy-saving requirements for both tiers came as a surprise.
“This proposed increase is coming at us too quickly and is not rooted in fulsome consultation and/or thought for implementation,” she says. “The industry is still playing catch-up on the recent (Ontario Building) Code changes.”
However, D’Abramo says that in preparation for the update, the City worked with stakeholders, energy consultants and industry members through workshops.
“We looked at how the development industry is coping with the approach of having environmental performance measures,” he says. “(The industry) has been well aware of our attempts to improve and the direction we want to go.”
Incentivizing sustainable practices
Once a prospective tier 2 project (or what D’Abramo calls, a “super green building”) is completed, third party consultants inspect it on behalf of the City. If they are satisfied the requirements have been met, the developers then receive a 20 per cent refund on their development charges.
Despite this incentive, the number of buildings that reach this level still remain few. The City is hoping that, in the future, 10 per cent of new buildings reach this standard.
“We want them to achieve an even higher level with the hopes that these buildings will be on the leading edge and push the market towards even better buildings,” he says.
However, Savoie contends the standard may have had the opposite effect.
She says the industry was already pushing the bar through voluntary measures.
“Once it became a mandatory requirement, it perhaps stifled the competitive edge that could have propelled innovations in this area.”
She adds the costs associated with achieving the higher standard currently far outweigh the benefits.
“At this time, it is an ineffective incentive program,” she says.
The transition process
Savoie adds that while the industry is supportive of sustainable building practices in principle, the requirements outlined in the Toronto Green Standard have been difficult to carry out.
She explains that some developers had implementation and interpretation issues with the original standard. Some of the wording was prescriptive “must have” language, which, she says, would or could not apply in some development proposals. She adds there were other issues in the practicality of providing certain features, like at-grade bike parking, which could conflict with other City rules concerning building entrances and loading requirements.
That said, Savoie hopes the differences in the 2014 standard will result in smoother implementation of the requirements and clarity for developers. However, she says “only time will tell” if this is actually the case.

The challenges of small volume production using just-in-time (JIT) or customized product manufacturing requires that manufacturers find ways to improve productivity, increase product yields, and to lower manufacturing costs. Outsourcing precision parts cleaning and cleanliness validation testing is a very smart way of achieving this, particularly for small batches of precision parts that require selective cleaning or surface treatment. For example, contract cleaning is a very good option for specialized cleaning of components such as pressure gauges used in high pressure oxygen systems or components such as silicone-insulated electronic cables used in clean or vacuum environments.
Our Rent2Clean™ cleaning equipment rental program is a very smart way to develop proprietary cleaning processes in-house, satisfy short-term or small-batch parts cleaning needs, or to trial test advanced CO2 Composite Spray cleaning, atmospheric plasma treatment, and non-contact surface quality monitoring technology before buying.
We offer a modular and expandable CO2 spray cleaning platform called PowerSno™. The PowerSno generates and propels an energetic cleaning spray comprising pressure- and temperature-regulated clean dry air (CDA) containing micronized solid CO2 particles to efficiently remove contaminants from any manufactured surface. The PowerSno replaces multi-step wash-rinse-dry spray and immersion cleaning techniques – providing a robust one-step and 100% dry cleaning process.


Silicon Carbide Based Energy Harvesting Module for Hostile Environments
This paper demonstrates the rst high temperature silicon carbide based energy harvesting module suitable for use in hostile environments. The system comprises a of SiC pin photovoltaic cell, HfO2 based capacitive storage bank and Schottky blocking diode. The system demonstrates the ability to harvest energy from a UV rich environment and store this energy on a HfO2 metal - insulator - metal (MIM) capacitor bank. The system unies work thathas focussed on developing high temperature energy harvesting technologies, a key technology in facilitating the deployment of resilient wireless sensor nodes into hostile environments. The system demonstrates the capability to store an initial voltage of 2.3V decaying to 0.5V in 300ms with a Schottky based system. Replacing the Schottky diode with a switched system, a much lower decay rate to 1.5V in over 8s was observed. This shows that an effective harvester could be made with a switched power controller.

Have achieved all my dreams: Tendulkar
With his biggest ambitions of playing for the country and winning the World Cup achieved, the master batsman wants to enjoy his cricket for the rest of his career. Amol Karhadkar reports. Sachin sayscricket Updated: Mar 26, 2012 01:51 IST
Despite being a weekend, it turned out to be a field day for the scribes as they enjoyed a rare free-flowing discussion with milestone man, Sachin Tendulkar. Though there was a 40-minute interaction with the international media on Sunday afternoon before Tendulkar unveiled autographed memorabilia surrounding his feat of scoring 100 international centuries, the day's highlight turned out to be a 55-minute interaction with select media personnel that preceded the press conference.
With a backdrop displaying logos of each of the 17 brands he endorses, and that of his management firm World Sport Group, and with his wife Anjali perhaps attending his media interaction for the first time, a relaxed Tendulkar interacted with 20-odd representatives of major national media houses, including HT.
Tendulkar touched on a range of things, recalling the first Test century he scored in Manchester 21 years ago, explaining his god-fearing nature and how difficult he found to connect with the kind of music team mates far younger to him played in the dressing room. Sachin says
And he admitted he has no dream left unfulfilled on the field of cricket. "I don't have any other dream now. There were two big dreams - one was playing for India and the second was to lift the World Cup. That was my biggest dream," Tendulkar said.
So what keeps him going in One-Day Internationals, especially after achieving his biggest dream? "It is the passion for the game and as long as I feel the passion, as long as I feel the desire is there, as long as I feel I can go out and deliver, then I should be playing. But the day I feel I cannot do it, I cannot motivate myself even though I am performing, then it is time to have a re-look at my decisions. There might be phases where I am not performing well but if I am motivated enough and passionate enough then I need not worry," he said.
Whenever Tendulkar was asked about the 100-centuries milestone, he stressed he wasn't playing only to accomplish the feat. But he admitted the first time he thought of the feat was almost a decade ago. "I remember a long time ago, John Wright (then India coach) had told me 'you should be the first player to score international 100 hundreds'. That was way back, during the 2003 World Cup. We used to have many chats and this was during one, this is what he had told me, just to push me. The coach's job is to give the players that high and make sure they are in the frame of mind to deliver, and possibly John was looking to do that."
The jovial and philosophical Tendulkar turned aggressive when he was told he hadn't fully answered questions about his retirement.
"I have answered. Maybe you guys have not understood properly. I have always said that when I decide to retire I will let you know. Where is the question of not answering?" he retorted.
Does he see himself playing Test cricket in four years' time? "I don't know. When I started playing cricket, I didn't see myself playing for 22 years either. I don't know what is in store. It is in God's hands."

Michael Davis’ block in Los Angeles used to have huge trees on both sides of the street, so big they created a canopy. “They were beautiful,” says the 17-year-old high school senior. “They covered the whole top of the block.” But recently, he says, the trees were cut down. In their place, there are now bright lights and security cameras. Davis is a youth leader with the Community Rights Campaign and its student club Taking Action, which organize around the school-to-prison pipeline, mass incarceration, and the criminalization of black and brown communities in Los Angeles. Having the trees on his block replaced with cameras and lights was just one sign of what Davis describes as a nationwide trend of police militarization against communities of color.
One stark example of that militarization was the revelation last month that the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and school districts around the country have been receiving military-grade weapons through the federal Department of Defense’s 1033 program. The program, which authorizes the transfer of excess Defense materials to federal, state and local agencies for law enforcement purposes, gained notoriety after protests in Ferguson, Missouri were met with a hyper-militarized response by the police. Compiling data from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and a number of media reports, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and Texas Appleseed paint a disturbing picture of the program’s reach into K-12 schools: At least five school districts in Texas have been outfitted with materials through the program, including one with a SWAT team; at least five districts in California, with both San Diego and Los Angeles receiving Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles; as well as a number of other states including Utah, Georgia, Florida, Kansas, Michigan and Nevada that received materials ranging from blankets and laptops to assault rifles.
“In terms of a clear national picture of what kind of military equipment is going to K-12 schools through the 1033 program, we don’t have a 100 percent transparent picture,” says Janel George, education policy counsel at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. That lack of transparency is one reason the Legal Defense Fund and Texas Appleseed are asking the DLA to end the 1033 program’s relationship with school districts and school police departments. George also emphasizes that excessive force against students by school police is already far too common, with many school officers armed with weapons like tasers and pepper-spray. “The concern is not only the potential harm when you add in military-grade weaponry – we’re talking about M16s, AR 15s and grenade launchers. It’s also, how does this exacerbate existing school climates that are already tense? And how does that contribute to the criminalization of youth of color in particular?”
The disproportionate punishment of Black and Latino students for the same behavior as their white peers is so well-documented that, earlier this year, the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education expressed concern that such disparities may constitute a widespread civil rights violation. The fact that students of color, as well as students with disabilities, are so much more likely to be referred to law enforcement leads advocates to wonder: On whom are such military weapons likely to be used?
“In LA, if you depend on public schools – and given that the vast majority of students are students of color – at the moment you walk into school, your interaction with police automatically grows,” says Manuel Criollo, director of organizing at the Strategy Center. “You depend on a public service, and that public service is attached to the criminal legal system. Are the police there for [the students’] safety, or are they there because they perceive them as a threat?”
For Laura Aguilar, another high school senior who co-leads Taking Action along with Davis, the weapons program is illustrative of the way students of color are treated regularly. “A mine-resistant vehicle isn’t a thing that exists for our safety. It exists for our harm,” she says. “Why are we providing all these resources to the wrong side of education?” Both Aguilar and Davis said that, while they were disturbed by the level of militarization of school police, they were not surprised. “A lot of us have already internalized it. It’s the norm for students,” said Aguilar. “We’re being policed already in our communities, and now a second time in our schools.”
Since the story broke, some districts have returned their weapons, or expressed their willingness to do so. For example, LAUSD returned their three grenade launchers, but opted to keep their MRAP. In Texas, the small school district of Aledo, serving 4,700 students, chose to return its M14 and M16 assault rifles. On the other hand, Edinburg, Texas “has been pretty adamant about its need for a SWAT team,” says Deborah Fowler, deputy director at Texas Appleseed. “And most of the other districts listed [in Texas] have just stayed silent.”

While reducing the amount of military weapons in schools is the starting point, advocates say that the problem of police violence against students is a deep-rooted one that must be addressed with cultural competency training and resources like restorative justice programs, which teach students how to work through conflict. “The data shows us that, even if there were no grenade launchers, when we just have tasers and pepper spray, we’re already seeing disparities and targeting and harm to students of color and students with disabilities,” says George. “Unless we address the implicit bias that fuels those discipline disparities, we will do very little in reforming discipline comprehensively.”
This year, LAUSD initiated reforms to school discipline policies to limit the role of school police and emphasize school and community-based supports. It’s a major policy victory that Davis says has led to important changes in how students are treated. Both Aguilar and Davis emphasize the importance of making space for young people to get to the root of their problems without police intervention. As seniors, their role is to teach the younger students how to organize, advocate, and lead. “We teach them about what it means to be in a country where overpolicing is prioritized in our education,” says Aguilar. “Along with teaching students, we teach them to teach other people.”

Today is Giving Tuesday, the annual day that encourages people to support good causes, and around 3,200 charities and businesses in the UK are predicted to be taking part.
It is a global day of giving which takes place in more than 60 countries around the world.
People can donate money or raise awareness using #GivingTuesday and #MyGivingStory. The former is currently trending on social media.
Giving Tuesday has been organised in the UK by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) since 2014. CAF’s Gráinne Mathews said: “Last year celebrities including Sir Richard Branson, Cara Delevingne and Dua Lipa all got behind the campaign. £7.8m was raised in the UK on the day, and that’s just donations collected online”.
There are a number of organisations taking part, including the Jo Cox Foundation, Islamic Relief, Cancer Research UK, and PayPal.
Giving Tuesday messages will also be beamed on the top of London’s BT Tower throughout the day, whilst Thomson Reuters will be showcasing the campaign on their Canary Wharf Jumbotron screen.
Organisations to match funds
PayPal will be matching funds through its PayPal Giving Fund, up to a total of £150,000. RBS will also be matching their staff’s payroll giving contributions and promoting Giving Tuesday to over £1.5m of its MyReward Customers.
The Big Give will be running a week-long Christmas Challenge, starting at noon today. It aims to be the UK’s biggest ever match funding campaign, and hopes to raise more than £14m throughout the week.
The Dogs Trust will be taking puppies to the Radley store in Covent Garden, to celebrate the launch of their Giving Tuesday dog walking bag.
Marie Curie will host a thank-a-thon where employees write thank you letters to supporters. Last year more than 2,000 personalised cards, designed by hospice patients, were sent out on Giving Tuesday to the charity’s benefactors.
Ebay announces Give Day 2019
The online marketplace eBay has also announced its second Give Day 2019 takes place today.
According to eBay, data shows donations by its UK sellers and buyers to good causes spike in November and December. From 2011 to 2018, November was the most generous month, with an average £1,989,412 donated by UK users through eBay for charity. December was second at £1,640,618.
Ebay is partnering with The Prince’s Trust to raise money to help young entrepreneurs living in the UK. For 24 hours this Tuesday, eBay UK will donate 5p for every transaction on ebay.co.uk, and 10p if a customer buys two or more items, to The Prince’s Trust.
Give Day 2018 saw funds of £105,000 raised for the Trust, which equated to 2,000 hours of expert mentoring by dedicated Business Launch Group members.
Lynda McCullagh, head of technology partnerships at The Prince’s Trust, said: “At The Prince’s Trust we see that more and more young people in the UK are looking to take the leap to start their own business, and our Enterprise Programme supports young people from all backgrounds to explore and venture into entrepreneurship.
“We are enormously grateful to eBay for their support, as funds raised on Give Day will allow us to continue to support young entrepreneurs on their road to success.”


A $3 million bond with a 10 percent option was set March 2 for the man accused of intentionally ramming into a gas station pump and threatening to shoot people, including sheriff’s deputies.
Michael Craig, 59, is facing multiple charges stemming from the Feb. 29 incident at the 1251 Mentor Ave. GetGo gas station in Painesville Township.
Those charges are first-degree felony arson, three counts of second-degree felony felonious assault, fourth-degree felony inducing panic, fourth-degree felony vandalism and two counts of fifth-degree felony aggravated menacing. He is also facing misdemeanor charges of aggravated menacing and resisting arrest.
Lake County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched around 11:50 a.m. on the day of the incident regarding the report of a possible accident that resulted in a fire at one of the gas pumps at the gas station.
According to the department, Craig was driving a black Buick Rainier SUV that had been stationary in the GetGo parking lot before accelerating at a high rate of speed and intentionally ramming into a gas pump, which became dislodged from the ground.
Craig, while pushing the dislodged pump, struck a Ford pickup truck that was fueling at another pump. The truck was occupied by two adults and their child, according to the sheriff’s office.
The allegedly intentional collision with the truck forced the truck into the gas pump it was using. The other pump that was initially dislodged became wedged under the truck. Due to the impact, a fire was immediately ignited and “began to consume the pickup truck.” All of the occupants were able to get out of the vehicle uninjured, according to the department.
The sheriff’s office stated that Craig continued across the parking lot in the SUV in the northeast direction toward Mentor Avenue. He hit another vehicle before entering the road. As he entered the road he hit another vehicle that was traveling eastbound.
Craig continued north across Mentor Avenue and off the north side of the roadway through a chain link fence.
The sheriff’s office stated that due to all of the impacts, the SUV caught on fire. Craig was approached by bystanders who were trying to offer assistance. When they approached, Craig allegedly told them he had a gun and he was going to shoot and kill everyone.
While attempting to flee, Craig allegedly also told sheriff’s deputies that he had a gun and would shoot and kill. Craig proceeded to point what appeared to be a gun toward the deputies, according to the department.
Craig allegedly refused to comply with deputies’ commands and continued to taunt and threaten them while sitting in a flaming vehicle.
He then crawled out the driver’s side window while holding what appeared to be a gun in his hands.
After a brief standoff at the side of the flaming SUV, deputies were able to determine that he was actually holding a pair of pliers.
Deputies deployed bean bag rounds at Craig as he allegedly continued to ignore commands. Craig was ultimately incapacitated by a Taser and secured. He was pulled away from the now engulfed SUV.
Craig was taken to TriPoint Medical Center for cuts and burns to his leg, according to the department. He was medically cleared and taken to the Lake County Jail. One other person was taken to the hospital as a precaution. They were treated and released.
Painesville Municipal Court Judge Paul Malchesky said at the arraignment hearing that Craig has an "extensive" record and called the incident a "significant offense with lots of victims and lots of potential victims."
Court records list Craig's address as 25 Freedom Road, Painesville Township, which is the address of Project Hope for the Homeless.


Max seals Tucker title

FOXTON claimed the Tucker Gardner Division Two title on Saturday with a last-gasp 74-run victory over Cambridge NCI.
With title rivals Waresley clinching 25 points from their win against Eaton Socon, news reached Foxton with three overs to play that they needed to bowl their opponents out or finish the season as runners-up.
With that, coach Matt Gray and captain Sid Sabey threw Max Bowen back into the mix, and he proved to be Foxton's hero as the youngster finished with 5 for 8 with just three balls to spare.
Gray said: "With news filtering through regarding the Waresley result, it then went right to the wire.
You may also want to watch:
"Having declared we gave it a good shot, but all of a sudden NCI shut up shop and it looked like things may not go our way.
"But then Max came back into the attack and turned the game around - it was a fantastic spell of bowling. There were certainly a few nerves, but full credit for pulling through."
- 1 'Panic-buying is crippling us' - petrol station owner urges motorists to think before they refuel
- 2 Appeal to trace driver after cyclist sustains serious injuries in crash
- 3 17 of the prettiest streets in North Herts
- 4 North Herts and Beds villages hit by power cut
- 5 Get on your bike for the A10 Awareness Ride comeback
- 6 Royston Arts Festival committee overcomes COVID difficulties to bring back events
- 7 Flexi parking ticket rolled out for hybrid commuters
- 8 Barkway Lit Fest proves to be a real page-turner
- 9 Royston man to stand trial for permitting production of cannabis
- 10 Heath threatened with 'eyesore' borehole kiosks
Lawrence Farnum had given the visitors the perfect platform with a brilliant 89, and alongside Sabey and Antonnel Atwell had seen Gray's side to 202 for 6 - at which point they declared.
In reply, Tom Griffiths smashed 72 as NCI made life difficult for the title chasers. However, courtesy of Bowen's heroics, the hosts were all out for 128.
Gray added: "It was a difficult situation to be in. In having two games rained off, Waresley were given the chance to overtake us. But we're over-the-moon at how things turned out.
"It's our second successive league title and that is absolutely brilliant. I think we thoroughly deserved it, especially in having led the way from day one. Despite suffering a brief blip, over the course of the season we played some very good, attacking cricket and I would say that the best team won.
"And what a way to win it. The atmosphere was incredible and it was a great experience for all that were involved. We had a five year plan to get out of Senior League cricket and into the Tucker League, and having done that within four years we've now come to the end of that target starting next season in Division One of the Tucker League.
"We're looking forward to the challenge and I'm sure we will give it a good shot. I'm confident that we can carry our momentum forward.

Leatherhead Rotary Club, Surrey, recently sent out an appeal for donations of warm winter clothing for people in Ukraine and the local community did not disappoint.
In less than two weeks, the club were able to fill 600 bags with a range of new and recycled items, from coats and jumpers to blankets, sleeping bags and duvets.
Two large vans to subsequently to a central collection point in Hampshire from where they were transported across Europe to local Rotary Clubs in Poland and the Czech Republic, who then took them across the border into Ukraine.
Leatherhead Rotary member Graham Ryding, who coordinated the collection on behalf of the club, said they had been overwhelmed by the response to the appeal, especially the number of local residents who gave up their time to help club members sort and bag the donated items.
Graham added: “We would especially like to thank the Swan Centre in Leatherhead, for very kindly donating the use of one of their retail units as a base for the collection and sorting.”
It’s not just clothing that Rotary GB&I clubs are providing for Ukraine though, as Rotary Club of Spalding and Welland, Lincolnshire, have teamed up with the charity Mobiles 4 Ukraine to encourage donations of unwanted mobile phones and tablets.
The idea came after members of Spalding and Welland Rotary heard a talk from a Ukrainian lady at Grantham Rotary Club where she revealed her home of Irpin had been destroyed by bombing, leaving her and her family as refugees.
Mobiles 4 Ukraine refurbish and recycle the phones and tablets donated to them and then distribute them to Ukrainians both back in Ukraine and those sheltering in foreign countries.
A club spokesman told Spalding Today: “The club is teaming up with Mobiles 4 Ukraine to make a real difference to the ordinary folk of Ukraine in their continuing unimaginable plight as they still stand strong against both their invaders.
“The donated mobile devices will be processed, sorted and resold by Ukrainian mums who desperately need jobs to help support their families.”

The captions are not only succinct and informative, and in many cases identify the owner along with other details, making this a fascinating read.
My favourites included a designer who had built a library within the central staircase of her home compete with a bosun’s chair fastened to a chain hoist to gain access, a light filled home in the Hamptons and the Robert Adam designed library in Mellerstain, Scotland.
However, maybe the greatest pleasure is not studying the libraries or the presentation of the books, but identifying the books themselves, some of which I recognised from my own library and many more that I would dearly love to own.
Whiling away a Sunday afternoon in a good book shop is a delight many of us share. With this new book from Merrell it is possible to achieve almost the same level of satisfaction without leaving home.

Cast: Rudy Youngblood, Dalia Hernanandez
Direction: Mel Gibson
A pure directorial extravagance, Apocalypto is based on the premise that civilizations destroy themselves from within first. The film apparently uses Mayan’s as protagonists (well, the movie is a foreign language with subtitles, most people would not know the history), but is fraught with inconsistencies throughout. The Spaniards arrived much later than the Mayans and the culture depicted is apparently close to the Aztecs.
The plot is simple. A village is ransacked and after extensive plunder, those who are alive are taken captives. Men to be offered as sacrifice and women to be sold as slaves. Jaguar Paw is a young hunter of the tribe. He helps his family escape and promises them he will return. How he fulfills his destiny marks the rest of the film.
Yes, the movie is gory and brutal for most part. From the time the animal is hunted in the first few moments to when the high priest pulls out the heart from a living man and then chops off his head. You have a pit full of dead bodies, the people responding to orgy of violence, a pregnancy under water and random killings and acts of violence. But, the premise still remains. When Paw finally says “ We go to the jungle, for a new beginning”, that's all that remains. The beginning of destructions of civilizations is always from within. Civilizations, which have been inward looking and decadent or tending to cannibalize nature, have been exterminated through history. Probably the violence is just for cinematic (and directorial- Passion of the Christ was pretty gory too J ) reasons, but the spirit of Paw stands out.
Paw is a man who is consumed by fear of the unknown. His father exhorts him to free himself, but that only happens towards the end. “ I am not afraid”, that is probably the most difficult thing for people to say. His destiny is revealed through a prophecy which gets fulfilled. Cinematic? Sure, let us have some more of that.
Spectacular photograph and special effects make the film exceptionally realistic and hence gut wrenching. Mass of bodies, the execution, the baby’s movement in the stomach, the snake, the Jaguar. The last chase is superb and the movie is a must watch at least for that. Gibson’s direction holds the pace.


Last year's defensive unit for the Denver Broncos ranked in the top 5 in almost every statistical category. The defense was considered a strength, a team great at playing with the lead, a fallback for Peyton Manning. Von Miller had a breakout campaign, and Champ Bailey made the pro bowl once again...
This year however, the defense stands as the largest question mark for the team, as Miller started off the year with a suspension, and is now about to undergo surgery for a torn ACL. Champ Bailey has not been able to stay on the field, wrestling a foot injury, and the Bronco legend now finds himself as a role player.
I look at this defense and think "what if". What if Miller decided to not violate the substance abuse policy, what if Champ stayed healthy? With breakout players like Terrance Knighton, DRC, the continued quality out of Chris Harris, and the emergence of Shaun Phillips, this defense could be capable of SO MUCH more.
The statistics for Denver say nothing about the talent in the secondary, teams who play Denver start to throw the ball a lot because they are losing. This makes the run defense looks great on paper and the secondary look dreadful. However, both units probably stand somewhere in the middle. Capable of being stellar, but seemingly mediocre, this defense has a case of bad luck. Hopefully Wesley Woodyard can get back to his early season form, Ihenahco can play with a little more consistency, and maybe this defense will be able to stop somebody in the playoffs.
As you all know, the first test for this defense will be a grudge match versus Phillip River and the Chargers west coast offense. They know whats coming. They know the key to victory is taking the game out of the hobbled Ryan Mathew's hands and putting it all on Phillip Rivers. If they can clog the middle on third down, and let Peyton do his thing, this should go the way we all hope it will.
Let's go Broncos, and prove us all right.

Healthy Cooking Pitfalls
By Sara Butler
Most people know that a truly healthy meal is one cooked at home, which is why so many people interested in eating a healthy and balanced diet control it through their own kitchen. But even good intentions can sometimes go awry. Cooking at home can be healthy, but only if these major mistakes can be avoided.
Using Oil in Pasta Water
It’s not uncommon to add a little extra virgin olive oil to boiling water to keep the pasta from sticking together or to the bottom of the pot. The only thing adding oil to the pasta water actually accomplishes is making it more difficult for the sauce to stick to your pasta. It also has the unfortunate side effect of stripping some of the nutrients from the pasta and adding calories.
To keep it healthy, add a little bit of salt to the boiling water and stir frequently to keep it from sticking together.
Counting Calories by Counting Fat
Olive oil and margarine are not equals, and shouldn’t be counted as such. If you’re trying to cut down on fat by using “low fat” options such margarine, remember that margarine is loaded with highly processed, unhealthy fats. Butter and olive oil are pretty equal when it comes to calories and are far better for your health. Use one of them in moderation instead of trying to cut down on calories by using something else.
Peeling Fruits and Vegetables
Peeling the skin from fruits and vegetables cuts down on the nutrients. A lot of produce holds essential nutrients such as Vitamin C, just below the skin. Plus, there are all kinds of healthy fiber in that skin that will keep you feeling fuller for longer! Resist the urge to peel in order to get the most from the fruits and vegetables you’re eating. The only exceptions are things such as onions, citrus fruits, and bananas.
Frugal on Flavor
Meals that are nutritious can be anything but bland. Many spices and herbs offer flavor and benefits to health by using them with abandon. So don’t be afraid to add them to your meal, just remember to go easy on the salt!
Cooking healthy at home is a great thing, but don’t fall victim to these common mistakes and sabotage the benefits you’re trying to reap!

Natural supplements like acai and colon cleansing techniques are designed to work together in order to help flush out your body of the buildup of toxins. Various diseases are linked to bodily toxicity, and colon rejuvenation techniques are often the most immediate ways to address these issues. A colonic cleansing solution is often applied either orally through a detoxification process administered through certain herbal solutions, or through a direct flushing of the colon, typically administered by a trained professional who is licensed to an organization that oversees such natural treatments. Colonic cleansing is a practice that also dates back hundreds of years.
Some of the natural ingredients used in colonic cleansing include teas such as green tea and a wide assortment of herbs and fruits, including the acai berry. Acai and colon cleansing techniques that are loaded with antioxidants are designed to quickly and effectively rid the body of toxins while also infusing the body with vitamins and minerals in a very direct fashion. Acai berry is gaining in popularity as a colonic solution primarily because its high level of antioxidants found in the fruit’s phytochemicals and flavonoids.
These substances are designed to not only fight free radicals but acai and colon cleansing techniques also work to infuse the body with vitamins A, B1, C and minerals such as iron and calcium. Meanwhile, acai also works as an anti-inflammatory. For that reason, acai may be beneficial with the treatment of certain inflammatory based diseases that include osteoarthritis and gout. However, more conclusive information is needed before these attributes can be proven to work, and therefore the use of supplements such as acai should not be considered an alternative to standard medical treatments for inflammatory conditions.
Likewise, acai berry has been attributed as a way to directly combat the spread of cancer cells, especially as it relates to leukemia. However, more research is needed before these benefits can be determined and it should not be used as a replacement therapy. Still, acai and colon cleansing therapies are gaining in popularity and are often featured in the mainstream press. Many advocates cite a number of health benefits that range from higher energy levels, the prevention of digestive issues, to a much lower rate of acquiring viral or bacterial infections. However colonic cleansing is not recommended for certain people. Your best bet is to speak to a dietician to determine whether the acai berry, or a colonic cleansing regiment, would be a good nutritional option for you.

Corona situation is getting worse in Bihar
At present, the condition of corona virus is getting worse in Bihar. And thousands of people are being found to be coronavirus positive. In such a situation there will be assembly elections. It seems difficult.
Teachers training for assembly elections in Bihar have also been found to be Corona positive. So far, more than 40 teachers taking training for the assembly elections in Bihar have been found positive. At the same time, a teacher has also died. Under such circumstances, it may not be wise to hold an assembly election.
The cabinet has also come under the grip of Corona
You can get an idea of the horrific situation of corona in Bihar by the fact that the entire cabinet of Bihar government has been hit by the corona virus. And many ministers have become corona. In such a situation, the assembly elections are going to be almost certain. However, no official announcement has been made about this yet. But it will be interesting to see what the Election Commission decides about it.

Tejashwi Yadav says that after the election the dead bodies of the people are laid, in such a situation, we do not want such an election. Tejashwi Yadav says that when there is no people in democracy, then the system will have no meaning.
At the same time, Tejashwi Yadav has attacked Nitish Kumar due to the various flood situation in Bihar. Tejashwi Yadav says that Nitish Kumar is still not going to take stock of the flood situation. While they should go. Tejashwi Yadav says that if Nitish Kumar is afraid of Corona virus, then at least he should do air survey. And it should be seen how far the flood has reached in Bihar?
Tejashwi Yadav says that the Chief Minister has all facilities including helicopters. Still it is not understood why the Chief Minister is not surveying the coronavirus and flood situation?

Chelsea set to sign Kurt Zouma as Saint-Etienne defender reveals his love for Blues
Published: 16 January 2014
Updated: 14:26, 16 January 2014
Chelsea look set to follow the £21m signing of Nemanja Matic by winning the race for highly-rated Saint-Etienne defender Kurt Zouma.
The 19-year-old (above) has been linked with a number of English clubs including Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United but has confirmed he wants to move to Stamford Bridge.
Zouma, serving a 10-game ban in France for a reckless tackle on Sochaux’s Thomas Guerbert, claims Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has called him to talk about a move. He told L’Equipe: “There has been an advanced contact. At first I thought it was a joke. But I quickly took [Mourinho’s] call seriously.
“A great man like Jose Mourinho phoning a small player like Kurt Zouma, it’s nice. It does not happen to you every day and it is a great sign of respect and trust.
“I will always take Chelsea. I loved this club since childhood and blue is my favourite colour. In my head, it is clear: I want a change. When going abroad, it’s make or break. But it is a risk worth taking.”
St Etienne are looking for around £10million but could agreed a deal which would will see him stay on loan at the French club for the rest of the season or tell Chelsea to leave the transfer until the summer.
Chelsea are also expected to wait until the end of the season to complete a £20m move for Southampton left-back Luke Shaw, as revealed by Standard Sport last month, despite the turmoil caused by the departure from St Mary’s of chairman Nicola Cortese last night.

- Clan MacLellan
Clan MacLellan Crest badge Motto: Think on; and
Profile Region Lowlands Gaelic name MacGille Fhaolain – (son of a servant of Saint Fillan) Chief Clan MacLellan has no chief, and is an armigerous clan Arms of the last Chief of Clan MacLellan Last Chief: The Rt. Hon. Camden Gray Maclellan The 10th Lord Kirkcudbright Died: 1832 Historic seat MacLellan's Castle Allied clans Clan Stewart Rival clans Clan Douglas
Origins of the name
The name MacLellan has evolved from the Gaelic MacGille Fhaolain – 'son of a servant of Saint Fillan'. The name is Gaelic in origin. St Filan was a missionary of the old Celtic church, and there is a village in Perthshire named after him. The name Filan itself is derived from the Celtic ‘faelchu’, meaning ‘wolf’. The Maclellans were numerous in Galloway and gave their name to Balmaclellan in Stewartry. Chief Duncan MacLellan appears in a charter of Alexander II in 1217 which is now lost. The name MacLellan identified with Galloway as early as 1273.
Wars of Scottish Independence
During the Wars of Scottish Independence Maclellan of Bombie was among the close followers of Sir William Wallace when he left Kirkcudbright for France after the defeat at the Battle of Falkirk (1298).
15th century and clan conflicts
In the early fifteenth century it is said there were no fewer than fourteen knights of the name Maclellan in Galloway. Sir Patrick Maclellan of Bombie forfeited his estates for marauding through the lands of the Earl of Douglas, the Lord of Galloway.
King James II of Scotland restored the lands when Sir Patrick’s son, Sir William, killed Black Morrow, a supposedly "Moorish" bandit living near Kirkcudbright. Sir William carried the head of the brigand to the king on the point of his sword. When King James demurred regarding the restoration of the estate, Sir William displayed the brigand's head on his sword and advised the King to 'Think on this'. This is the origin of the clan crest of this family and the Think On motto.
In 1452, William Douglas, 8th Earl of Douglas, captured Sir Patrick Maclellan, the tutor of Bombie and Sheriff of Galloway, and held him in Threave Castle for refusing to join a conspiracy against the king. Sir Patrick’s uncle, who held high royal office, obtained letters ordering the release of Douglas’s prisoner. When Douglas was presented with the royal warrant he promptly had Sir Patrick murdered while he entertained his uncle at dinner. Maclellan’s death was another example of Douglas’s contempt for royal authority which the king was later to repay by executing the earl at Stirling. Although there is little doubt that the celebrated Scots cannon, ‘Mons Meg’, which was made at Mons in Belgium, according to local tradition, that it was the Maclellans who brought the great gun to batter down Threave Castle as part of their revenge on the Douglases.
16th century and Anglo-Scottish Wars
During the Anglo-Scottish Wars Sir William Maclellan of Bombie was knighted by King James IV of Scotland but followed his king on the ill-fated invasion of England which ended at the Battle of Flodden Field in 1513.
His son, Thomas, was killed at the door of St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh by Gordon of Lochinvar in 1526.
17th century and Civil War
His great-grandson, Sir Robert, was a courtier both to James VI and Charles I, and in 1633 was raised to the peerage as Lord Kirkcudbright. The third Lord was such a zealous royalist that during the Scottish Civil War he incurred enormous debts in the king’s cause, and completely ruined the estates. The title passed from cousin to brother to cousin, with very few direct male heirs.
The Maclellans were from the earliest times staunch Royalists, and zealously supported the successive kings of Scotland in their contests with their turbulent and too powerful nobles. Sir Robert MacLellan, a direct descendant of the Laird of Bombie whom the Earl of Douglas murdered, was one of the Gentlemen of the Bed-chamber, and was raised to the peerage by Charles I., in 1633, by the title of Lord Kirkcudbright. The newly created peer fought gallantly on the royal side in the Great Civil War. John Maclellan, 3rd Lord Kirkcudbright, was very eccentric and hotheaded, and in his impetuous zeal on behalf of the royal cause, he compelled his vassals in a body to take up arms in behalf of the King, and incurred such enormous expense in raising and arming them as completely ruined his estates, which were seized and sold by his creditors. As nothing was left to support the dignity, the title was not claimed for nearly sixty years after the death of this luckless Royalist, and even then it was assumed only for the purpose of voting in a keen contest, for the position of representative peer, between the Earls of Eglintoun and Aberdeen.
18th to 19th centuries
The Edinburgh citizen who inherited, but did not assume, the titles of his family, had three sons. The eldest predeceased him; the third entered the Royal Navy, and was killed in 1782, in an engagement with the French, while in command of the Superb, the flagship of Sir Edward Hughes. The second son, JOHN, seventh Lord Kirkcudbright, on petition to the King, had his claim to the title allowed by the House of Lords in 1773. He entered the army and attained the rank of lieutenant-colonel. He died in 1801, leaving two sons. The elder, SHOLTO HENRY, became eighth Lord Kirkcudbright, and died without issue. The younger, CAMDEN GREY, ninth lord, had an only child—a daughter—and on his death, in 1832, the title became dormant.
While MacLellans are found all over the world, there are particular concentrations in a few districts of Scotland. A small group has begun what is now Clan MacLellan, gathering members from around the world. The "Scottish Diaspora" dispersed MacLellans throughout the world; the largest numbers settled in Ulster, then Nova Scotia and the United States. Some made their way to Australia. The MacLellan clan was also represented at the 2009 Clan Gathering in Edinburgh, Scotland.
MacLellan's Castle, found in Kirkcudbright in south-west Scotland was the seat of the chief of Clan MacLellan. The castle's beginnings lie in the Reformation of 1560 which led to the abandonment of the Convent of Greyfriars which had stood on the site now occupied by the castle since 1449.
There are concentrations of MacLellans found in the Western Isles (especially in Eriskay and South Uist) and around Mallaig and Arisaig. The surname of the MacLellans of North Uist is represented in Scottish Gaelic as MacGilleFhialain; these MacLellans were also known in Gaelic as Clann Iain Mhoir.
