President Yoweri Museveni has gifted gold medalist Joshua Kiprui Cheptegei with a brand new Mitsubishi double cabin pickup.
The president was fulfilling his promise he made to Cheptegei following his outstanding performance during the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia.
Cheptegei won the men’s 5000m final, clinching gold and Uganda’s first medal at the particular competition.
He beat Mohammed Ahmed of Canada (13:52.78) and Kenya’s Edward Pingua Zakayo (13:54.06), who settled for silver and bronze, respectively.
While receiving the car at State House Entebbe, the excited athlete revealed, “The car will help me enhance my training performance as it comes just 10 months to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. I intend to win another glory for the country.”
The car was officially handed over by State House Sports Officer Norah Nassimbwa.
Early this month, Cheptegei again made Uganda proud when he won a gold medal at the World Athletics Championship in Doha, Qatar.
He won the men’s 10,000 metres world title with the second fastest ever time in the championships history of 26min 48.36 sec thus becoming the first Ugandan to win the title.

Although Cambodians are not allowed to gamble in its NagaWorld property, the company said it had received strong support from the local expatriate community as well as some visitation from East Asia.

The world is bouncing back, or at least coming to grips with the fact that going forward not much will be the same as before. Commendably, this industry quickly understood the need to adapt to a new normal, and that the days of targeting the low hanging fruit of the VIP sector are gone.

Pictured: Moment convicted killer accused of beating his mother to death two days after release from prison broke down in tears in court telling judge, 'I'm guilty'
- Steven Pratt entered a guilty plea and told a New Jersey judge he did not want a trial
- Pratt, 45, is accused of killing Gwendolyn Pratt, 64, Sunday morning
- He had come back to Atlantic City after release from prison last Friday
- Officers found Mrs Pratt dead from massive blunt head injuries
- Pratt has spent most of his life in jail after gunning down a neighbor in 1984
A convicted killer accused of clubbing his mother to death two days after he had finished serving a 30-year prison sentence sobbed as he entered a guilty plea in a New Jersey courtroom Tuesday.
Appearing before a judge without a lawyer by his side, an emotional Steven Pratt proclaimed: 'I don't want a trial. I'm guilty.'
The 45-year-old ex-convict was arrested Sunday after he allegedly killed his mother, Gwendolyn Pratt, at her home in Atlantic City after celebrating his release from prison with his family.
Tearful confession: Steven Pratt weeps in court while answering questions from Superior Court Judge Michael Donio during his arraignment Tuesday, which culminated with a guilty plea
Standing in an empty courtroom wearing an orange jumpsuit and a pair of handcuffs, Pratt broke down in tears after Judge Michael Donio read the charges against him, Philly.com reported.
The judge advised the suspect not to say anything without an attorney present but Pratt brushed it off and continued speaking through sobs
'I have no lawyer,' he said. 'I have nobody.'
Upon learning that his bail has been set at $1million in cash, Pratt told the judge that it made no difference to him.
'I have nothing,' he said, his head bowed.
Before he was led away from the courtroom, the hulking former inmate murmured: 'I have failed.'
According to prosecutors, Pratt beat to death his 64-year-old mother, Gwendolyn Pratt, during an argument that broke out at her home in Atlantic City Sunday.
Matricide: Pratt, 45, surrendered to police Sunday after he allegedly clubbed his mother, Gwendolyn Pratt, 64 (right), to death following a party at her house celebrating his release form prison
Police found Mrs Pratt dead from blunt force trauma to the head at 6.30am Sunday. Just two days earlier, the victim had picked up her son from prison.
Just before Gwendolyn Pratt's killing, the family held a welcome-back party to celebrate the end of Steven Pratt's 30-year sentence for killing a neighbor with a handgun, the Press of Atlantic City reported.
Ruan Tilghman Pugh, who lives next door, told the paper: 'It's so devastating. You just never know what people are going through.'
He said that before the attack, he had overheard Mr Pratt on the phone to a cousin asking to stay with him in the wake of an argument with his aunt.
Police arrested Pratt at the scene and charged him with murder.
Pratt had served a 30-year sentence for the murder of Michael Anderson, a neighbor in Atlantic City whom he shot dead in 1984.
Killing: Police found Gwendolyn Pratt, 64, dead from massive head injuries at the home on the right in Atlantic City, New Jersey
Pratt, then aged 15, was hanging around in an apartment hallway when he got into a dispute with Mr Anderson, court records show.
During the altercation, Pratt attacked Anderson with a lead pipe, but the neighbor managed to disarmed him and hit him back.
Pratt took off and then came back with a borrowed handgun, which he used to kill Anderson. He was tried as an adult.
Gwendolyn Pratt's brother told Philly.com that his sister, who worked at Resorts Casino Hotel since 1989, had been excited about her son's long-awaited release.
On Friday, she picked Pratt up from Bayside State Prison and took him out to IHOP.
A few months prior to his release, the 45-year-old inmate had reportedly turned down an offer to move into a halfway house ahead of his release, according to Press of Atlantic City. .

Roane County exec mandates masks
Roane County Executive Ron Woody announced on Monday morning a mask mandate for the county, which he said is effective immediately.
“I hope the community will take this order without causing divisions among our citizens,” he said.
Woody cited his county’s rising cases and deaths, although he mentioned also that the county’s COVID-19 positivity rate had recently fallen “below double digits.”
He said he had the authority as a county executive to issue the mandate due to Gov. Bill Lee’s executive order.
He said the Gov. Lee's Order No. 54, had limitations on what counties could impose and that order had been extended through various other orders and expires Dec. 29.
Woody said his order will continue until Dec. 29, as well, unless Gov. Lee extends his order and he decides likewise.
Woody went into details about the limitations of the order in its text, available on the Roane County government website. He said masks are not required within a residence or vehicle unless transporting others for hire. A child age 12 or under doesn't have to wear a mask. Masks are also not required for anyone who has trouble breathing due to an underlying health condition or “another bona fide medical or health-related reason for not wearing a face covering.” No one who is incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the cloth face covering without help and no one eating or drinking will have to wear a mask.
Masks are not required outdoors in general, except if the person cannot “substantially maintain appropriate social distancing from others outside of the person’s household,” according to Woody's order.
The order does not require masks “while working under conditions where appropriate social distancing from others outside of the person’s household is substantially maintained” or “in situations in which wearing a face covering poses a safety or security risk.”
It is not required “while in a house of worship unless required by the house of worship, but wearing a face covering in such locations is strongly encouraged.”
It is also not required at a voting site for the purpose of voting or administering an election. However, “wearing a face covering in such locations is strongly encouraged.”
“I hope no law enforcement will be needed due to this order,” Woody said. The order he signed does not mention enforcement.
“My office has been granted by the governor’s power to make the mask mandate, but the Executive Office is not involved in the enforcement,” Woody stated in a press release which appears on the Roane County website.
In Anderson County, Mayor Terry Frank said Tuesday that she does not think mandating the wearing of masks is the way to go.
In an emailed response to The Oak Ridger, Frank said: “I am very sensitive to the heartfelt belief held by many that an enforcement approach is the answer, but I don’t think we can police our way out of this pandemic any more than we can incarcerate ourselves out of widespread addiction issues. I trust the people of Anderson County, and the people of this county have been proactive, committed and concerned. I view a non-enforcement approach that brings people together, instead of pointing fingers at each other, as the best way to achieve the best health outcomes and also the best way to achieve compliance with guidance and health measures. As I’ve said from the beginning, it is my belief that public policy that pits neighbor against neighbor is counterproductive. I want us to love our neighbors, not view each other as enemies.
“I do believe people have grown weary and I want to stress that we need to be aware the virus isn’t taking a break, so we can’t either. November and December are months where we normally come together as families and as community groups, but I want folks to be aware that the virus is definitely more prevalent in our community. I encourage folks to make safe plans and seriously contemplate their engagements. I believe the mask 'debate' has led many to lose sight that a mask is only one of the key preventative measures, but it is not a failsafe mechanism.”

Having worked as an editor on To the Wonder, director A.J. Edwards seemingly adopted (or perhaps stole) the Terrence Malick touch for The Better Angels. His minimalist black-and-white version of the Abraham Lincoln origin story is a monument to the lyrical grandiosity that's defined Malick's work thus far. It's such a good copy that the film contains very little ingenuity itself, leaving a feeling of empty beauty in its wake.
Set in the dense, backwoods forests of Indiana in 1817, Edwards' overtly earnest biopic prances around the trees and shrubs of a harsh Eden, trying to catch up with young Abe (Braydon Denney), who follows around after his stern father (Jason Clarke) or one of his two mothers (Brit Marling gives way to Diane Kruger). The only civilization that matters is family. Within this structure, Abe experiences multiple life lessons that Edwards suggests are shaping this great mind and important person.
By minimizing the familiar historical elements of Lincoln's mythology to Bressonian levels of starkness (the famous log cabin is reduced to a unimpressive shack), The Better Angels seeks to demystify Lincoln as a symbol of history and firmly root his experience with the rest of humanity.
It's an admirable goal, but the end result is far too intoxicated by its own style. Roving Steadicam shots traverse the dense wilderness, tracking characters doing work and barely communicating. Occasionally, a rough-and-tumble rural voice will play over the pretty images, feeding narration and adding a regional flair.
The Better Angels, which opens Friday, Nov. 21, at the Ken Cinema, attempts to reconstruct an icon with the barest of materials. The final product is an impressively made Colonial Calvin Klein ad that does very little to expand the conversation on how minor moments define and propel the weight of American history.

Yesterday, Justin Bieber released a music video for his new song, “Confident” featuring Chance The Rapper. Amidst all his legal troubles, Biebs is trudging through and working on what he does best–making the tweens swoon.
The song, as you can imagine, talks about him being into a girl who is confident. The video inserts dialogue between him and a chick whose number he wants. Not that you could call the worst pick up line ever as dialogue, but just go with it. At the end she agrees to give him her number, but the only exchange we see is a kiss. Because let’s be real, he probably doesn’t have to do much to pick up a girl.
I can’t say I’m a big fan of Chance The Rapper, in fact, I’d probably like the song a whole lot better without him. There’s also a few choreographed dance sequences in the video, but nothing over the top. See for yourself above.

However, it was The Ready Set that I was dying to see. Continue Reading

It’s directed by Director X who has directed music videos for many top artists in the industry including Justin Bieber’s “Boyfriend” music video. The cinematography and styling is very dark and edgy which fits with the band, but above all the song is the best part. Check it out for yourself up top.
I met a couple of British guys at a pub in Hollywood a couple of weeks ago and they introduced me to Rizzle Kicksand had me check out “Down With The Trumpets.” Their sound is British hip-hop fused with pop and it’s pretty sweet. This song was released in September of last year and man do I wish we would get some of these overseas artists played in the US. It’s catchy, danceable and definitely one of those songs that will get stuck in your head. Have a listen.

Good morning lovelies, How are you today?
Its a wee bit brisk down here but the the sun is shining in all its glory and I am looking forward to a nice walk along the beach later today.
Yesterday was the first long walk I managed in a while, it has just been too cold to go far the last couple of weeks. We tried, but the wind was biting so we turned back and enjoyed the scenery from the car. Yesterday I walked with bare feet and tested the water which was slightly warmer than the air but not as warm as the lovely sun. It was enough that once you had walked that little bit you were warm enough to enjoy. So enjoy we did.
I love winter walks on the beach. You often get the whole beach to yourself and this means I might just happen to start singing, skipping along and whilst dreaming up new ideas. LOL Who am I kidding? I am prone to do this even if the beach is crowded. But it was a most loverly walk with only the sound of the ocean for company. The hubby by then had decided to take a run and I don't do run.
I do come up with pattern ideas though. Which reminds me of what I had to show you today. I have not named this one yet and am not sure whether I will write up the pattern or not. Sometimes I like to make what I call Scrappy hats or Happy Hats, hats that come about just because I happened to have been taking walks, going for drives (passenger wise of course) and from having a hook and yarn in ones bag at ALL times. Sometimes I make them up as I go, sometimes I try to take that picture from my head and make it real.
This one is made from Bendigo Woollen Mills Serenade, (which is a merino and bamboo blend) and some Cozy Wool which is a variegated pure wool. I started with a flower and then went from there.
It was created whilst freezing ones toes off at early morning soccer matches, gazing at the beach on blustery windy days and finished whilst snuggled in front of a warm fire.
Take care lovelies, have a beautiful day. xoxox

A former director of the Society of the Four Arts once described the 86-year-old institution as akin to a liberal arts college, so rich and nourishing are its cultural offerings.
That idea will be seen in abundance in the upcoming 2022-23 season, which is the first in several years not to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Four Arts officials released the full schedule for the season last week; In addition to its Campus on the Lake series, book discussions and speaker series, the Society offers an extensive schedule of art exhibitions and musical performances.
“The Society of the Four Arts is proud to have another full season of programming planned for 2022-2023, bringing four art exhibitions, 20 live performances and 20 high definition screenings from our cultural partners The Metropolitan Opera, National Theater Live and and Great Art on Screen,” said David Darby, spokesman for Four Arts.
Opening December 3rd at the Esther B. O’Keeffe Gallery Hard Bodies: Contemporary Japanese Lacquer Sculpture, an exhibition of 33 works by 16 artists working in the ancient urushi or lacquer tradition, but finding new uses for it from the 1980s onwards. The touring exhibition, billed as the first-ever survey of such sculptures, draws the works from the collections of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The show runs through January 22.
Next is Contemplating Character: Portrait Drawings and Oil Sketches from Jacques-Louis David to Lucian Freud, which examines the history of portraiture from the 18th century to the present. The exhibition, which opens February 4 and closes April 2, includes 81 works by artists such as Aubrey Beardsley, Edgar Degas and Pierre Bonnard, as well as David and Freud.
A landscape study by the contemporary Austrian artist Eduard Angeli is running parallel to this. The 11 works in Eduard Angeli: Cities on the water are large landscapes depicting three waterfront cities: Venice, St. Petersburg (Russia) and Istanbul, where Angeli began his career in the late 1960s after graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. The show is 80-year-old Angeli’s first exhibition in the United States and was curated by Four Arts Chief Executive Officer Philip Ryland.
The final art exhibition of the season is dedicated to photography, specifically African wildlife. The second annual Benjamin Mkapa African Wildlife Photography Awards will announce the winners this October in Nairobi, after which the collection will travel, arriving at the Four Arts on April 26th and running through June 4th. The awards are named after a former President of Tanzania who was a conservationist and is sponsored by the African Wildlife Foundation and Nature’s Best Photography.
All art exhibitions are held at the O’Keeffe Gallery. Admission is $10, but is free for club members and children under 14.
At the Gubelmann Auditorium opposite the O’Keeffe Gallery, the Four Arts’ musical performances will include the Emerson String Quartet (January 29), which is in the midst of its farewell tour; veteran American pianist Emanuel Ax (January 8); the Dutch piano duo of brothers Lucas and Arthur Jussen (12 Feb); the Romeros Guitar Quartet (January 22); and on November 30, a Christmas concert by San Francisco male vocal ensemble Chanticleer (“A Chanticleer Christmas”).
The Four Arts continues its collaboration with Lincoln Center’s Chamber Music Society in March, with pianist Wu Han presenting three programs under the Schubert Revealed heading. The programs (March 5, 8 and 12) examine the work of Franz Schubert through the connections between his songs and instrumental works; through his compositional influences, especially Beethoven; and through the works of the late period, including the String Quintet in C.
In addition to classical music, the Four Arts will feature bluegrass by Joe Mullins and the Radio Ramblers (April 16) and a jazz program on February 1 entitled “Sing and Swing: Our American Songbook” featuring members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, singers and Trumpeter Bria Skonberg and Benny Benack III.
A special feature this year is a March 22 performance by the National Dance Company of the Republic of Georgia on their first US tour. His program “Fire of Georgia” highlights the folk music and culture of this Transcaucasian country.
“Winter Journey”, a two-part event, is also exceptional winter tripa 2019 film starring Bruno Ganz and based on the memoir of longtime NPR classical music host Martin Goldsmith, whose musician parents fled the Nazis (March 23; Goldsmith will be present for a Q&A), and on March 29 a concert linked to the memoirs; and a film featuring a wind and piano sextet performing music by composers silenced by the Holocaust.
The Esther B. O’Keeffe Speakers Series begins in January with 13 speakers including Spanish opera star Placido Domingo speaking about his life in music (January 28); retired General David Petraeus (January 10) on American leadership in the world; Palm Beachers Leonard Lauder (January 3) and Ken Griffin (March 7); Fox News commentator Jesse Watters (February 21); Photographer Sally Mann (March 28); and Christie’s Vice Chairman John Hays (January 17), who will speak on the American art market and the paintings of Emanuel Leutze Washington crosses the Delawarewhich recently sold for $45 million.
Film series continue this year, including nine performances (some live, some pre-recorded) by New York’s Metropolitan Opera. The series begins December 3 with Donizetti’s Lucia of Lammermoor, starring Palm Beach County’s Nadine Sierra as Lucia. British National Theater is in five plays including Shakespeare’s Henry V (January 28) with Kit Harrington from game of Thrones in the title role.
Also on view is Great Art on Screen, a collection of five documentaries from November 20 to April 15, including a look at Italian modernist Amedeo Modigliani (December 11). In addition, there is a filmed rendition of The Nutcracker (Dec. 17), performed by the Ballet Company of the National Opera of Ukraine.
Finally, there is a series of 19 films, all more recent, beginning with Sam Mendes’ 2019 World War I story. 1917 (November 18). Most are screened twice and cost $10 each.
Not to be missed are Campus on the Lake’s lifelong community learning programs, which offer a variety of educational events including a series on playwright George Bernard Shaw by British theater director Richard Digby Day and A Survey of Southern Culture by Taylor Hagood , Professor of American Literature at Florida Atlantic University.
Also on tap are talks by conceptual artist Hank Willis Thomas; Hugo Vickers, an expert on the British royal family; Bob Colacello, founder of Interview Magazine; and author Andrea Wulf, who will talk about her latest historical work, Magnificent Rebels: The First Romantics and the Invention of the Self.
Meanwhile, the Gioconda and Joseph King Library continues its Florida Voices Author Series and book discussion groups Talk of Kings, Page Turners, and Biography Book Club.
Family-friendly programs include “Carols on the Lawn” performed by the Palm Beach Atlantic University Choir (Dec. 4) and the Children’s Ballet Rita finds home (February 25), performed by the Miami City Ballet School and Chicago’s Joffrey Academy of Dance.
Tickets for most programs go public at 10am on November 1, “and we hope customers will take advantage of our diverse cultural offerings in person,” Darby said.
Face masks are optional indoors, he said, and virtual and pre-recorded programs will be available on fourarts.org throughout the season. For more information, visit fourarts.org or call 561-655-7226.

Fittingly, perhaps, with Christmas recently having come and gone and many gifts having been opened, Ben Searle, managing editor of Thomson Reuters Cortellis Competitive Intelligence, told DDNews, “There are always some surprises in the pipeline.”
The surprises come by way of the Thomson Reuters quarterly report “The Ones to Watch,” which covers the most promising drugs that are changing their clinical phase, receiving approval or have launched, based on the company’s strategic data and insight. “We follow the drugs from the early stages to the launch,” Searle says in recapping the most current issue, published in November. “We always invest hope in a new therapy and are disappointed when one doesn’t make it.”
In this latest review of drugs to watch, covering July to September, one of the interesting surprises for Thomson Reuters was found in Boehringer Ingelheim’s Gilotrif, which Searle calls “an interesting one, because it achieved a truly global launch, which is very difficult.” He added that Boehringer Ingelheim, the 20th largest pharmaceutical company in the world, had the global reach to launch a much-needed drug that addresses a “rapidly progressing disease with a shocking mean survival time.”
Gilotrif was approved in July 2013 in the United States as a first-line treatment for EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The European Medicines Agency approved Gilotrif in September 2013 for EGFR tyrosinekinase-inhibitor-naive adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC, suggesting that European launch will not be far behind. New drug applications have also been filed in Japan, Canada and Asia. Granted Orphan Drug designation in December 2011, Gilotrif binds irreversibly to EGFR/HER1, HER2 and HER4, targeted at patients exhibiting EGFR-mutations. NSCLC is the most widespread form of lung cancer and is often associated with EGFR mutations.
“Because clinical trials are often conducted on the sickest and most serious patients, this drug could be even more beneficial for less sick patients,” Searle says. “It can extend a person’s life or reduce symptoms for a while.”
Biocon Biopharmaceuticals’ Alzumab, a ﬁrst-in-class humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the CD6 inhibitor for the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis, is one of the first biological drugs to be developed from inception to launch in India. The drug was launched in August and at the time of launch was reported to be priced at half the cost of existing treatments available in India. Biocon is India’s largest biotechnology company, aspiring to become a $1 billion company by 2018, and, since its founding, has evolved to become a global business, according to the report.
Psoriasis is a problem of the aging population, according to Searle. He added that the drug is in Phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, which “affects a lot of people worldwide and could be a happy accidental side effect.”
Bayer’s Adempas, an oral sGC stimulator, almost made the list and is the first drug to be approved for the treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertention (CTEPH). According to forecast data from Cortellis Competitive Intelligence, sales of Adempas will reach $578 million in 2017. Pulmonary hypertension is a progressive disease associated with an increase of blood pressure in the pulmonary vasculature leading to symptoms of dizziness, angina, tachycardia, swelling of the legs, shortness of breath, fatigue, reduced exercise capacity, and, in severe cases, heart failure.
Searle explained, “Pulmonary hypertension makes the right side of the heart work harder than normal. In its various forms, pulmonary hypertension is a chronic, progressive, debilitating disease, often leading to death or need for lung transplantation. Adempas helps arteries relax to increase blood flow and decrease blood pressure.”
Adempas was registered in Canada in September 2013 for treating post-surgical CTEPH, and was subsequently approved in the United States in October 2013 for inoperative/recurrent CTEPH and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). A European filing for approval was submitted in February 2013 and the drug has been granted Orphan Drug designation in both the United States and Japan. In Phase 3 trials enrolling patients with PAH, and also Phase 3 trials enrolling patients with CTEPH, treatment three times daily with Adempas produced statistically significant and sustained improvements in six-minute walking distance compared with placebo.
The drug is also under development for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and systemic sclerosis.
“We track every novel drug anywhere in the world, and the report gives us a diverse snapshot of the pipeline,” Searle said. “There’s a great deal of diversity from life-threatening to less severe conditions being treated.”
“Markets are becoming more globalized,” he concluded. “We’re seeing a rebalancing of the pharma market worldwide, and it’s very interesting.”

So over the holidays i recently got a ps4 bundled with Uncharted 4. I also managed to get Final Fantasy XV and Little Big Planet 3 for cheap. Now I already have a decent gaming PC and take full advantage of Lord Gaben's goodness on indie titles as well as AAAs. In short, if its a game on PC i'll get it on PC. For this reason I'm actually struggling to find console exclusives on PS4 indie or otherwise. Im also not too familiar with the platform as its my first Sony console. Im pretty open to most things so any recommendations are welcomed!

White Otter CastleWritten by Super User
White Otter Castle
This elaborate three-storey log home was built in the early 1900’s. James A. McOuat, a lone trapper but one with many friends in Ignace, built his home out of large red pine logs some weighing 1600 pounds. “I put it up without any help whatever," Jimmy said back in 1914. He used a block and tackle method to raise these logs to their place. He was told back when he lived in the Ottawa Valley “ye’ll never do no good, ye’ll die in a shack”. Taking these sayings to heart he decided to build himself a castle.
The Castle was finished in 1914 with the four storey tower and hip roof covered in tar paper. Unfortunately Jimmy died in the fall of 1918 and his body was discovered the following spring by forest rangers. His grave remains at the castle to this day. The decaying castle was renovated by “Friends of White Otter Castle” and is still maintained today.
It can be accessed by float plane or canoe in the summer and by snowmobile in the winter. It is approximately a 40 km trip by canoe and portage starting right in the town of Ignace. When starting a trip from Agimak Lake in Ignace there are 15 portages to White Otter Lake. Maps of the canoe route can be picked up for free at the Tourist Information Centre and Township of Ignace Office, 34 Highway 17 West, Ignace, Ontario.
Blueberry PickingWritten by Super User
Almost every person who grew up in the Ignace area has picked fresh wild blueberries. The boreal forest produces some of the sweetest berries in the world. These antioxidant rich berries when picked and cleaned sell for a good price and are highly sought after by visitors and travelers. The picking season usually lasts from the beginning of July to the end of August. The best place to find these berries is in harvested forest sites accessible by logging roads. Added to this, just north of Sandbar Lake Provincial Park is a landscape dominated by boulders, an area that is surrounded by blueberries and some roadside raspberries.
Before venturing out for berries, it is advisable to become bearwise. Blueberry patches are a good place to encounter bears as they consume hundreds of pounds of blueberries late in the summer to store fat for the winter. While these animals are generally non-threatening, they are also known to be extremely dangerous.
BoulderingWritten by Super User
Ignace’s Blueberry Boulder Field (by Dennis Smyk)
Just north of Sandbar Lake Provincial Park, a dozen kilometres north of Ignace, the landscape is dominated by room size boulders. Visitors walking among these behemoths cannot help but be overwhelmed by them.
See the full article by Dennis Smyk here.
Bouldering dates back to the late 19th century and was started in Europe to train rock climbers. Bouldering is a British name given to the sport and "problem" is the name of the challenge or path up to the top of the boulder. The size of the boulders found in Ignace and their proximity to the Trans Canada Highway means that there is a great deal of interest by boulderers, aficionados of the sport of bouldering, a style of rock climbing undertaken without a rope and normally limited to very short climbs so that a fall will not result in serious injury. It is typically practiced on large boulders or artificial man-made boulders and only equipment you will require is some chalk, climbing shoes, a landing pad, and some courage. The Ignace Boulder Field has been described as “the best bouldering in Canada between the Niagara Glen and the Rockies”!
Visitors will enjoy the experience of seeing the boulders-or climbing them- and can top up their visit by feasting on the namesake blueberries. Keep an eye open for roadside raspberries too.
GeocachingWritten by Super User
Geocaching is a fun way to interact with other outdoor enthusiasts by finding their caches and exchanging objects or leaving a signature for the cache owner. All you need is some outdoor gear and a handheld GPS.
Ed and Amanda Lahaie have created a number of geocaches at interesting sites in and near Ignace.
Geocaching is a high-tech version of hide-and-seek that combines the thrill of scavenger hunts, the physical challenges of hiking or biking, and the fun of gift exchanges.
It shares many aspects with benchmarking, trig pointing, orienteering, treasure hunting, letterboxing, and way marketing.
All you need is a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit or other navigational techniques to find containers (called “geocaches” or “caches”), then sign the logbook and exchange small trinkets. With internet access you can visit websites that list geocaches hidden in the Ignace area - or throughout the region. A good website to start with is www.geocaching.com. It's a great activity for families to enjoy together!

BirdwatchingWritten by Super User
Birdwatching in the Boreal
When most people think of birdwatching, they might think of sitting and waiting for hours with a pair of binoculars to see a small bird. In reality there is much more to it. Besides the stereotypical binocular scene there is an audio element to birding. Bird's calls are distinct, for example a chickadee call is one that is highly recognized and enjoyed. We are surrounded by boreal forest that is home to thousands of species and the best way to see them is to walk the many trails in and around Ignace.
Some of the larger species include bald eagles, hawks, herons, falcons, grouse, and waterfowl such as geese and ducks. "Twitching" or "tally-hunting" refers to the sport of birding that requires creating a checklist of bird species and possibly traveling great distances to find the more elusive birds.
There are many different types of habitat in the area that serve as feeding and nesting areas. The boreal forests are great places to find many species of warblers, chickadees, nuthatches, flycatchers, vireos and many more.
A list of popular birding trails near Ignace:
- Lilypad Lake Trail, located within the Town of Ignace
- Silhouette Trail, 12 km north of Ignace on 599 highway, Sandbar Provincial Park
- Rock Cliff Trail, 12 km north of Ignace, Sandbar Provincial Park
- South Beach Trail to Red Pine Loop, Sandbar Provincial Park
- Gulliver River Water Trail, Grit Road 17 km east of Ignace, Canoe/Kayak access

We would like to introduce you to one of our latest additions to Bull City Homebrew… the Monster Mill. One of our top priorities at the store is having the best grains for the lowest prices in the area. The best grains aren’t enough, though… they need to be cracked properly. For those of you who went to the old location on Geer Street, you probably remember the old, two-roller mill that held no more than a pound of grain at a time and took forever to crush a full grain bill. The Monster Mill has officially moved in and kicked the old mill to the curb.
The mill itself is the MM3-2.0 model made by Monster Brewing. This mill features three 2″ diameter rollers, some of the largest you’ll find on a non-industrial mill. The MM3-2.0 crushes all your grain twice, with one pass through the mill. It starts with a preliminary crush through the initial fixed gap between the top two rollers, and then ends with a pass through the second gap between the drive roller, and the bottom third roller. The initial pass slightly flattens the grain, and gets it ready for the next crush, that breaks apart the grains and loosens the starch with minimal husk damage.
The mill is driven by a Milwaukee 0234-6 Magnum drill, one of the highest torque drills available. This drill is the most capable drill we know of to power through even the toughest grains, yet keep the RPMs low enough to not damage them.
The mill and drill are is mounted directly to a custom work bench that allows the cracked grain to fall through into a bag ready to hold your full grain bill. In addition, the hopper attached to the top of the mill lets you put up to 11 pounds of grain into it, which is enough to accomodate your whole grain bill for most 5 gallon batches. The mill has a throughput of 13 lbs/minute, which means you won’t have to stand around waiting for it to finish. The crush that the mill produces is exceptional, and many customers have said they’ve never had better mash efficiencies before.
You don’t have to be an all-grain brewer to enjoy the awesomeness of the Monster Mill, it happily grinds through your adjunct grains too. You can even just peek in the grain room window to say hi. He won’t bite, but we do recommend keeping your fingers at a safe distance.

Famous People Who Use Their Synesthesia In Their Art
Artists have used their ability to create things that will leave you in awe of their creativity. They draw inspiration from many things, but some rely on the sight of sound, also known as synesthesia!
Synesthesia is a unique ability to process the stimuli you receive differs from the original stimulus. It comes in different forms; some people can hear colors, others can feel sounds, and some can taste words and shapes.
Only a few people in society possess the power of interpreting stimuli in a different form. This is why most people with synesthesia become artists and create masterpieces with their unique ability!
1. Duke Ellington
Quite popular in the jazz genre of music, Duke Ellington experienced synesthesia and even described what it was like. He compared the notes played by members of his jazz band to different colors, even if they were the same note!
“When I hear sustained musical tones, I see just about the same colors that you do, but I see them in textures” Duke Ellington Sweet Man: The Real Duke Ellington.
2. Billy Joel
The Piano Man, Billy Joel experiences synesthesia with sound. To him, colors change with the song’s tempo, and he’s even assigned colors to the letters of the alphabet!
“Certain lyrics in some songs I’ve written, I have to follow a vowel color." Billy Joel
3. Vladamir Nabokov
The Russian author of the famous work Lolita sees color when he hears the sounds of letters from the alphabet! Seeing what you hear in an array of colors would brighten up anyone’s world, especially as you’re learning the alphabet!
4. Vincent Van Gogh
The famous painter saw the gift of synesthesia as more of an inconvenience he had to suffer! He was labeled as insane when his piano teacher took note of his associations with music and color and didn’t want to teach him any longer.
5. Chali XCX
Charli XCX, like many other musicians, interprets music in color, and of course, like many musicians, she has a preference for the colors and sounds of music! She has a dislike for music which she sees as green, brown, and yellow.
This unique perception of color isn’t just experienced by artists; you might even know someone who experiences a bit of synesthesia themselves. Maybe they just haven’t heard of the phenomenon yet and don’t realize their unique ability!

LGL emphasises the discriminatory nature of the ban on the Baltic Pride 2013
Reposted from The Lithuania Tribune: http://en.delfi.lt/44038/lgl-emphasises-the-discriminatory-nature-of-the-ban-on-the-baltic-pride-2013-201344038/
In response to the letter by the Vilnius City Major Artūras Zuokas to the Members of the European Parliament regarding the ban on the Baltic Pride 2013 March for Equality, Lithuanian Gay League (LGL) has provided some additional information in relation to the unfortunate situation, described by the Mayor in his contribution, writes www.atviri.lt.
According to LGL, the legal basis for the ban on the Baltic Pride 2013 March for Equality, as correctly indicated by Mr. Zuokas, is the Article 4(3) of the Law on Public Meetings, which limits the exercise of the right to peaceful assembly closer than 75 meters from national courts and closer than 25 meters from public institutions.
However, it has to be emphasised that there can be no “unconditional” prohibitions on the right to peaceful assembly in a democratic society – any limitation ought to be necessary and proportionate to the aim sought.
LGL further emphasises that the above indicated legal basis for limiting the right to peaceful assembly has been never applied to any public event – either of political, cultural or social nature – taking place on Gediminas Avenue. In the period between 1 January, 2013 and 31 March, 2013 the Vilnius City Municipality has authorised 74 public assemblies on this particular location.
Moreover, some of these events took place even during the week days, thus implicating that the legitimate aim of securing smooth functioning of public institutions was neither sufficient nor necessary in limiting the right to peaceful assembly on those instances. Taken into account that the Baltic Pride March for Equality 2013 is scheduled on Saturday (i.e. 27 July, 2013) and that it was banned on the legal grounds, which were never applied to any other social group, we claim that it is disproportionate limitation of our constitutional right to freedom of peaceful assembly, which is clearly of a discriminatory nature.
Artūras Zuokas | DELFI, Photo by V. Kopūstas
In addition to this, the Supreme Administrative Court of Lithuania in its judgment has explicitly referred to the Recommendation CM/Rec(2010)5 on measures to combat discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity.
The direct reference to the text of the Recommendation indicates that the Lithuanian courts already detected discriminatory motives behind unilateral relocation of the March for Equality from the central avenue to the rather isolated and inaccessible area on the river side by the Municipality.
In relation to the current ban on the Baltic Pride March for Equality 2013, when the legal provision is being applied only for one social group but not for other groups, the discriminatory motive on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity becomes even more evident.
LGL is said to be ready to engage in a constructive dialogue and negotiations with the Vilnius City Municipality with regards to the location of the Baltic Pride 2013 March for Equality. However, we are of a position that the willingness to cooperate has to be mutual and based on good intentions. We are happy that the Mayor Artūras Zuokas has committed himself in implementing the Court’s judgment with regards to the ban on the March for Equality.


State law says bicyclists should ride in same direction as traffic
In response to “What’s going on here: New bicycle lanes in Canton” (Aug. 17): The U.S. Department of Transportation, Ohio Department of Transportation and Ohio Revised Code make it quite clear that a bicycle is considered a vehicle and is subject to the same rules as all other vehicles and are to travel in the same direction as all other traffic.
For more information on this, as well as bicycling safety tips, please go online and download ODOT’s Cycling Smarter Guide at http://tinyurl.com/mtla6uz.
In that they are to follow the same rules as all other vehicles, which include traffic signs and lights, how is a bicyclist supposed to see the traffic lights on a one-way street, such as Walnut Avenue, if he or she is traveling against the flow of traffic?
As a runner who occasionally cycles, I also want to mention that the laws are clear for runners, a k a pedestrians: “Where neither a sidewalk nor a shoulder is available, any pedestrian walking along and upon a highway shall walk as near as practicable to an outside edge of the roadway, and, if on a two-way roadway, shall walk only on the left side of the roadway” (ORC Section 4511.50(C).

South African Federation of Trade Unions (SAFTU) continues to mount pressure on the South African government not to adopt the draconian anti-worker policies. On May 29, SAFTU held a protest outside the National Assembly, Cape Town as Parliament was expected to conclude debates on the minimum wage bill and amendments to other labour laws that will negatively impacts on the workers’ right to strike.
It must be remembered that on the 25th of April, SAFTU held a historical nationwide general strike against the proposed minimum wage of 20 Rand and the labour reforms that would affect the right to strike. The government has persisted with its plans to implement anti-worker policies despite the national outcry, according to SAFTU.
Yesterday, after a debate on the labour laws, the National Assembly overwhelmingly endorsed the bill on minimum wage and approved amendments on the right to strike. SAFTU regards these developments as an attack on the working class and poor, and the federation has been leading the calls for a living wage law.
They have consistently argued that the minimum wage of 20 Rands an hour will entrench poverty, and that the amendments to the right to strike will not only amount to a violation of the constitution but will cripple the collective bargaining power of unions and the working class in general.
Given that the constitutional process of adopting a bill into law is not complete (the bill must be tabled at the National Council of Provinces and signed by president), SAFTU has vowed to not despair but it has committed to mobilize the working class to withdraw its labour in protest of the ‘slave wages’.
“SAFTU will now take its campaign to new levels …” by hitting “the streets with even bigger marches and stay-aways, to protest not only against these laws, but against all the assaults on our living standards and job security …” read SAFTU press statement.
SAFTU has expressed strong intentions to shutdown the country in protest for three days, as it did on the 25th of April, until the government take the demands of workers seriously.
For SAFTU, government has shielded the capitalist class from paying corporate tax and has allowed it to get away with slave wages. “Company CEOs who earn millions of rands demand that workers, whose labour creates their exorbitant wealth, must continue to toil for an hour to earn what they earn in a couple of seconds”, this, SAFTU believes will firmly entrench inequality in South Africa. As it stands “an average pay of CEOs in the country’s top 100 companies is R17.97 million a year, which amounts to R69,000 a day and R8,625 an hour”, according to SAFTU. Expecting workers to survive on 11, 15, 16 and 20 rands an hour is not fair and just. Thus SAFTU, will continue to increase pressure until workers are able to earn a dignified wage.
