When the new square dance club, the Dixie Dancers, was organized in Lake City in late 1978, it didn't take long for the dancers to start enjoying the Olustee Festival and making it a part of local square dancing history. Before the first square dance class had graduated, in April of 1980, they were all dancing in the street in February at the 1980 Festival.
That year, Lake City's Eastside Elementary School was organizing a demonstration of folk dancing as part of the downtown festival entertainment. Ramsey Hammers, the first president of the Dixie Dancers, was contacted. The Dixie Dancers club was invited to be a part of the demonstration dancing in honor of square dancing's folk history. The club's caller, R.J. Hogan, called for the dance.
After the demonstration dance in the park that afternoon, the square dancers decided to go home, prepare some food and take it to the VFW Hall to eat and dance some more.
After that festival week end, the dancers were hashing over all the dancing they did and the fun they had and decided to make it the first of an annual event. They decided to call it the Blue-Grey Ball. But there was conflict with another organization in town that had a dance called the Blue-Grey Ball. So they changed the name to the Blue-Grey Square Dance.
By the 1981 festival, the Dixie Dancers were a little more organized. Ramsey had fliers printed and they did some advertising. They visited other area clubs promoting the special dance. The club members decorated Teen Town for the occasion. Dick Barker shared the calling with R.J.
Club members Sadie Hammers and Marcine Robison made the first Blue-Grey dance costumes. They dressed up themselves and their husbands, Ramsey and Bobby, for the official 2nd Annual Blue-Grey Dance that Saturday night.
That afternoon, they had also danced in the street again, in the park in front of the court house.
It was a satisfying but tiring weekend.
By 1982, the dance had outgrown Teen Town. The National Guard Armory was rented and a nationally known caller, Ron Ray, was hired to share the calling with R.J.
The Blue-Grey Dance is now one of the most favorite square dances in the state of Florida.

Partnering with Huffington Post, Angus Stone reveals a brand new short film for '”Monsters,” from his solo release, Broken Brights (out now via Nettwerk Records). Stone steps in front and behind the camera to create the exceptional follow-up to two previous self-directed videos – “Broken Brights” and “Wooden Chair.”
Produced in collaboration with Evil Twin partners Taylor Steele and Todd DiCiurcio, the short captures the mysticism and stunning landscapes of Australia’s lush forests. Trekking through an imaginary wooded universe, Stone crosses path with ominous and supernatural characters – including a deadly band of “Lord Of The Flies”-like children and human hybrid goddesses.
State Radio frontman Chad Stokes sits down with the Cesar Millan (aka Dog Whisperer) for his publication “Cesar’s Way” to discuss his new four-legged sidekick, and sometimes fourth bandmember Lefty.
On Rabbit Inn Rebellion, the track "Desert Queen" is written about the Aussie/Coyote/Chow/Wolf friend who tagged along for the train-jumping adventures that inspired the album. The same way modern gutter punks and age-old hobos have traversed the country, Stokes and his brother rode from coast to coast stopping off in cities and towns, picking up stories...and a dog.
Fun fact: Lefty has rocker roots too; he’s descended from the Grateful Dead’s touring dog, Karma. “He was given to me by a Choctaw Indian man called Toothless Donny near Flagstaff, Arizona. We bonded right away.”

Victoria, B.C.-based roots rock outfit Current Swell have announced tour dates in the U.S. in support of their new album, Long Time Ago, which was released via Nettwerk on October 16th. The band will make two special east coast stops in New York City (Monday, November 19th) and Rochester, NY (Tuesday, November 20th) before heading back to the west coast for a December run of dates starting in Portland, OR on the 7th (full list of dates below). This marks Current Swell’s first official headline tour in the States; the band recently opened for Dispatch on a small run of west coast dates.
Since forming in 2005, Current Swell’s west coast influenced sound—an infectious combination of blues, roots, pop and rock—have earned the quartet scores of devoted fans from Canada to Brazil, where they recently returned from headlining two major festivals in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. The independent band started with modest expectations, playing shows in settings that ranged from backyards to beaches and using social media to grow their audience. Since then, they have supported artists like Dispatch, Xavier Rudd, K’Naan, K-OS, The Beach Boys, The Tragically Hip and more. Last summer, Current Swell not only headlined a Canada Day concert in front of a crowd of 45,000, but they also earned first place at Vancouver’s Peak Performance Project, a professional development program designed to help emerging artists.

"['The Great Exhale'] exudes a somber quality, built from an orchestra of violin, shimmering cymbals and frontman Tony Dekker’s morose baritone." -- MTV Hive
Yesterday, MTV Hivepremiered a new video for the song "The Great Exhale" from Toronto indie-folk darlings Great Lake Swimmers. The track is from the band's fifth studio album, New Wild Everywhere. GLS frontman Tony Dekker and video director Christopher Mills spoke with MTV Hive about the making of the video. Said Mills, “I found the song to be really haunting and beautiful, so the original concept for the video was based on a very loose idea of exploring empty, dissonant places, and to more of a visual essay that put ‘the music on the wind that passes through. The plan was to fill these spaces with these drawings, and ‘ghostly light and effects’ in ways that complimented the music.” Read more at MTV Hive here: http://mtvhv.com/QDVRN2.
Today, State Radio release Rabbit Inn Rebellion via Ruff Shod/Nettwerk Records.
State Radio’s Chad Stokes (of Dispatch & Chadwick Stokes), Chuck Fay and Mike “Mad Dog” Najarian serve up rock n’ roll realism that weaves together stories of the downtrodden and the oppressed, but never loses its sense of hope. Demonstrating the band’s versatility, Rabbit Inn Rebellion is raw and gritty, rolling with thunderous drumming and delectably grimy guitars, moving away from the previously reggae- and ska-tinged productions on 2009's Let It Go.
To celebrate the album release, State Radio kick off their North American tour today in Carrboro, NC. The 2-month tour will include two dates - October 26th and 27th - at the Calling All Crows' 4th Annual Northampton Halloween Weekend.

I must admit these are glum days that requires the wisdom of Solomon.
The virus is stimulated. Anger and frustration is stimulated. But the economy and our well-being is far from stimulated.
And common sense sometimes needs CPR shock treatment.
We know from the Alabama Department of Public Health's coronavirus site that Walker County has been among not only the highest number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the state but also the highest rate of cases per 100,000 in the state among counties. (In the top half of the state, Walker and Marion counties have been near the top in per capital figures.)
It is also quick to see that the area has practically next to no permanent testing sites that are listed, and some area counties have none. I'm afraid with limited testing, the area's per capita numbers are probably worse in than portrayed. One can easily tell this area is not doing social distancing enough.
Thankfully, enough Alabamians have that it looks like the curve is flattening and hospitals can handle the load. But other areas of the state and the nation have not done their fair share, ranging from meat packing plants to beach goers, from grocery shoppers to senators going to the Capitol gym while waiting for test results. Some businesses have all but forced people to still work. (Fortunately, the Daily Mountain Eagle has been kind to the at-risk.)
Of course, I want businesses to reopen ASAP. I feel for them, and I still go through drive-throughs and get groceries, shopping for two weeks in advance. Shop owners have mortgages, loans and payroll.
But polling shows two-thirds of Americans are afraid to go back too soon, and that includes me, because of those who are too careless. And I fear we really should have shut down through May; healthcare workers obviously feel May 1 is too soon. But it is clear we can't bankrupt the economy, either.
Protesting in the streets (at the online encouragement of conservative groups and apparently with the blessing of the president) comes across as insensitive and one-sided, with signs like "I need a haircut" and "Jesus is my vaccine." It has been hurtful for those who lose loved ones and those in healthcare who have suffered to fight this. And it ignores more than the public health need.
Some businesses do realize if they do reopen, they will still have to deal with the continued absence of those who are following the advice of health professionals, such as the Jefferson County health officer, not to run to the store for unnecessary purchases. It will not be all rainbows; they will be limited sometimes in how many they can even admit. There will have to be certain times and certain phase-in to a plan. And the government will have to get its act together to help out - if it can even help enough.
The cancellation of the Foothills Festival in September is a signal that this will not go away quick. I think we are in this for a long haul, as all we've done is to flatten the curve by stretching out cases in the future. We've been good in Alabama in not overburdening our hospitals, but that means cases will only be delayed or stretched out. This is only the first quarter, in a sense. I think we will have this for a year and we will have to make long-term changes for that time, much as Americans did in 1918-19, until we find a cure or vaccine.
Certainly business will have to open, but I think the regional, phased in approach may have to be the norm to keep things on a steady pace. I can tell you for sure - for sure - we are not going back to 100 percent normal immediately, as officials think that would be an invitation for the virus to surge again.
This will have to be a managed, long-term approach - and even then, we have to play catch up with testing, government stimulus programs, public education of social norms, availability of things such as cleansers, masks and tests, and not just for the hospitals but for the home.
Soloman said, "“Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is destroyed when you are cruel.” And he also said, "“In much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow."
We should be kinder and more considerate to one another in this. At the same time, with what we learn in wisdom will also be harder to carry out and give us sorrow.
Perhaps even Soloman would have a hard time with this one.


Significance and Use
4.1 Transfer molding is particularly suited to thermosetting materials of intermediate plasticity. Fixed molding parameters cannot be specified for each type of material. Molding compounds of the same type come in many different plasticities measured in accordance with Test Methods and . Consequently, for a given material type, the molding parameters required to produce satisfactory test specimens will often vary dependent on the plasticity of the specific material grade.
4.2 The mold shown in this practice provides for a set of five specimens. However, if only certain specimens are desired, the other cavities can be blocked by inserting gate blanks.
4.3 Typically, breathing of the mold is not required to release trapped volatile matter as the gas is free to flow from the vent end of the mold. This is a particular advantage for heat-resistant compounds and reduces the tendency for molded specimens to blister at high exposure temperatures.
4.4 Flow and knit lines in a molded piece are often sites of mechanical or electrical weakness and can be found in some degree of severity throughout the molded piece. The semisolid molding compound passing through the gate is subject to non-Newtonian flow and, consequently, wrinkles and folds as it travels down the mold cavity. Fibers and other reinforcements in the molding compound align with the flow pattern and, consequently, can orient perpendicular to the axis of the bar at the center and parallel at the surface of the bar. Mold temperature, thermal conductivity and plasticity of the molding compound, degree of preheat, and plunger pressure are parameters that influence the time to fill the mold cavities and the formation of knit lines.
Note 3: If the temperature of the mold is held constant and the plunger pressure varied for a designated thermosetting molding compound, two extreme characteristic conditions can be obtained. If the pressure is low, then the vent end of the cavity will not fully fill, and weld lines will form by incomplete knitting of the material. If the pressure is too high, the mold cavity will fill fast, the outside of the specimen will case harden while the pressure is still forcing material out the vent, and a ball-and-socket grain structure will be obtained. A ball-and-socket structure is an indication of the molding condition, and lower test data will result.
4.5 Thermosetting compounds containing long-fiber fillers such as glass roving, chopped cloth, or shavings can be used but are not recommended for transfer molding. These filler materials tend to break, tear, or ball in passing through the gates of the mold, thereby not optimizing their potential strength.
4.6 The Izod impact strength of transfer molded specimens of molding compounds containing short fibers will generally be lower than the values obtained using compression-molding methods. Quite often the impact strength will vary along the axis of the bar due to molding parameters, flow pattern, and fiber orientation.
4.7 The flexural and tensile strength of transfer molded specimens of molding compounds containing short fibers will generally be higher than the values obtained using compression-molding methods. Flexural tests are particularly sensitive to transfer molding due to the thin resin skin formed at the surface of the bar during the final filling of the cavity and pressure buildup.
1.1 This practice covers a general procedure for the transfer molding of mechanical and electrical test specimens of thermosetting molding materials.
Note 1: The utility of this practice has been demonstrated for the molding of thermosetting molding compounds exhibiting intermediate viscosity non-Newtonian flow.
1.2 The values stated in either SI or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not always exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems can result in nonconformance with this practice.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Note 2: There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

McLaren Triumphs In East Coast Semis at Greenwich Polo Club
By Liz Leamy
Nearly 3,000 spectators watched McLaren Greenwich scrape past Turkish Airlines, 12-11, in the drama-filled pre-semifinal round of the 2015 East Coast Open high-goal polo championships at Conyers Farm on Sunday.
The players pulled out all the stops in making it one of the closest and most dramatic showdowns so far in this prestigious annual event, which was originated back in 1905 and is being hosted for the first time this year by the Greenwich Polo Club, in tandem with the U.S. Polo Association.
“This was a hard-fought match—the teams were evenly matched,” said Christine Vermes, chief marketing officer for the U.S. Polo Association, who has been attending matches since the tournament kicked off two weeks ago. “It was exciting from the moment it started right through to the end.”
Right from the outset, it was apparent both teams were determined to win this match and advance to the finals, which will held at Conyers Farm on Sept. 6 and broadcast by NBC Sports on Sept. 13.
Throughout the entire first half, Turkish Airlines, whose number-two player, Joaquin Panelo, was awarded the Most Valuable Player citation, lead the match in scoring. During the second half, however, McLaren Greenwich made a comeback, evening the score to 11-11.
The team claimed victory during in the last two minutes of the sixth and final chukker, when Tommy Biddle, the powerhouse U.S. veteran six-goaler for McLaren Greenwich, knocked in the winning goal for his team, at which the crowd sent up deafening applause.
“Nick [Manifold, the Australian five-goaler for McLaren Greenwich] and I had to dig deep and turn the game around after halftime,” said a visibly elated Biddle at the end of the match, whose birthday also fell on this day. “This is what I love to do, and I pride myself on doing the best I can.”
Biddle attributed the playing by his colleagues, particularly Manifold—who helped manage the Greenwich Polo Club for more than two decades and establish it as one of the most important high-goal communities in the U.S.—as the main reason for his team’s heart-stopping victory. Manifold, whose gorgeous charge, Machitos Clo Clo, was awarded the Best Playing Pony citation, said the victory did not come easily.
“We were a bit asleep during the first half,” said Manifold. “This tournament is never easy, but we fought out there and it was worth it.”
The Turkish Airlines players agreed the match was a fierce challenge.
“We played better than we have all week, and that was good, but I think we should’ve won it,” said Tomas Garcia del Rio, the team’s electric eight-goaler, who added that his team “looks forward to playing McLaren again in another match later this week.”
White Birch Bests Audi
Meanwhile, White Birch, the Conyers Farm home team, beat Audi USA, 13-9, which had been undefeated in the preliminary and semifinal rounds until this match, earning the top seed among the six high-goal entries in the tournament heading into the final series of matches this week.
White Birch staged a fantastic show as Mariano Aguerre, the team’s esteemed Argentinian nine-goaler, led the high-voltage brigade, which includes Peter Brant, its patron and the Greenwich Polo Club founder, Hilario Ulloa, another prominent Argentinian nine-goaler, and Santino Magrini to a decisive victory.
“I think we played one of the toughest teams in the tournament today and it was intense, but that’s part of the game,” said Aguerre, who is ranked among the world’s top ten players. “We had a good last chukker, and I’m happy with the way we played and the way we moved the horses.”
Throughout the game, Aguerre, said to be one of the smartest players in the sport, consistently hit superb center and back shots in tandem with Ulloa, with whom he has played for nearly three years, effectively offsetting Nic Roldan, Audi USA’s rising star eight-goaler, and his team.
No doubt Aguerre’s chemistry with Ulloa seems to be a key component in White Birch’s success so far in this tournament.
“Mariano and I work well together,” said Ulloa, who scored the majority of goals for White Birch. “We complement each other and that is good, especially in a match like this one.”
Another reason for White Birch’s success is the fact that for the last year or so, the entire team has been working intensively with Beto Imas, a prominent trainer and physical coach in the high-goal polo community, on building their overall strength and playing skills.
Every day of the week, White Birch spends a minimum of 45 minutes working with Imas on physical training and strengthening exercises, ball and stick skills, and various playing strategies, among other things. According to Aguerre, training with Imas has been extremely beneficial for the team. The affable Imas, who shows up to the matches on a cool-looking motorcycle, said he is happy with the efforts of the players.
“This is a great group, they’re all very hard working and dedicated to what they do,” he said. “It’s all about make them strong so they excel in their playing.”
In the end, the brass ring for all of these high-goal players and teams is to ride away with the Perry Cup Trophy in the final match.
“I just want to play my best and win,” said Ulloa, who has earned international high-goal status over the past several years for his powerful and aggressive playing style. “All of the players and teams are strong in this tournament and it is hard, but that’s what makes it great.”
“It’s great to be playing in this event, it’s something special,” said Biddle, adding that he loves playing at the Greenwich Polo Club.
The decision to hold the tournament at Conyers Farm came after the former longtime site, Two Trees Farm in Bridgehampton, N.Y., was sold last year. So far, this decision has worked out superbly for everyone involved, including the players, ponies, sponsors, coordinators, spectators, media, volunteers and other helpers.
“You couldn’t ask for a better place to hold this tournament,” said Manifold. “Conyers Farm is one of the most beautiful polo clubs around—the fields are amazing and the people are wonderful.”
Michael J. Carroll, associate publisher of advertising for Town & Country Magazine, a co-host (along with the U.S. Polo Association and Lancome) of this year’s East Coast Open, also said this location has been ideal for the tournament.
“We’ve been associated with polo and this tournament for many years and have loved being here, it’s just beautiful,” said Carroll during a Town & Country tent event Sunday that drew more than 300 attendees. “This is a unique environment because it involves the mix of the natural beauty [of Conyers Farm] with the action and excitement of this incredible high-goal polo tournament.”
The spectators echoed Carroll’s sentiments.
“This is a fantastic venue and I love coming here,” said Sable Roesch of Darien, a Greenwich Polo Club devotee. “The combination of sportsmanship, athleticism and glamour here is extraordinary, and it’s an experience that is one of a kind in every way. The tournament only helps to make everything all the more exciting.”

Delta-sigma ADCs in a nutshell, part 2: the modulator
A delta-sigma converter uses many samples from the modulator to produce a stream of 1-bit codes. The delta-sigma ADC accomplishes this task by using an input-signal quantizer running at a high sample rate. Like all quantizers, the delta-sigma modulator takes an input and produces a stream of digital values that represents the voltage of the input. You can look at the delta-sigma modulator in the time or in the frequency domain. If you look at a time-domain representation, you can see the mechanics of a first-order modulator (Figure 1).
The modulator measures the difference between the analog-input signal and the analog output of a feedback DAC. An integrator then measures the analog-voltage output of the summing junction and presents a sloping signal to the 1-bit ADC. The 1-bit ADC converts the integrator’s output signal to a digital one or zero. Using the system clock, the ADC sends the 1-bit digital signal to the modulator’s output, as well as back through the feedback loop, where a 1-bit DAC is waiting.
The 1-bit ADC digitizes the signal to a coarse output code that has the quantization noise (ei) of the converter. The modulator output is equal to the input plus the quantization noise, (ei–ei–1). As this formula shows, the quantization noise is the difference of the current error (ei) minus the previous error (ei–1) of the modulator. The time-domain output signal is a pulse-wave representation of the input signal at the sampling frequency, fS. If you average the output-pulse train, it equals the value of the input signal.
The frequency-domain diagram tells a different story (Figure 2). The time-domain output pulses in the frequency domain appear as the input signal (or spur) and shaped noise. The noise characteristic in Figure 2 is the key to the modulator’s frequency operation.
Unlike most quantizers, the delta-sigma modulator includes an integrator that shapes the quantization noise. The noise spectrum at the modulator output is not flat. More important, in a frequency analysis, you can see how the modulator shapes the noise to higher frequencies, facilitating the production of a higher resolution result.
The modulator output in Figure 2 shows that the quantization noise of the modulator starts low at 0 Hz, rises rapidly, and then levels off at a maximum value at the modulator sampling frequency.
Integrating twice with a second-order modulator, instead of just once, is a great way to minimize low-frequency quantization noise. Most delta-sigma modulators are of a higher order. For instance, the designs of the more popular delta-sigma converters include second-, third-, fourth-, fifth, or sixth-order modulators. Multi-order modulators shape the quantization noise even harder to higher frequencies.

Arandu Arakuaa, the Brazilian indigenous folk metal band, has recently released a lyric video for the song “Padi” (“Anteater” in Akwẽ Xerente language). This song is from their upcoming second full-length album “Wdê Nnãkrda” (“Tree Trunk” in Akwẽ Xerente language).
The lyrics are based on the story of how the anteater appeared for the Akwẽ Xerente Indians from the state of Tocantins, animal very important in folklore and food of the people. In the music introduction, stands out the use of indigenous flute, Uruá, in addition to all the other elements that underline the mix of heavy metal, Indian and Brazilian regional music so characteristic of the band. “Wdê Nnãkrda” was produced, mixed and mastered at Studio Broadband in Brasilia by Caio Duarte (Dynahead) and will be released independently in Brazil in September 2015.

New Delhi: Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi on Friday said the government’s ordinance, which negates a Supreme Court’s order that ruled convicted lawmakers can’t continue in office, is “complete nonsense”. Therefore, the ordinance should be “torn up and thrown out”, he added. He also said the government took a wrong decision in approving the ordinance proposal.
This shocker from Gandhi came when he made a dramatic entry into an ongoing press conference at the Press Club of India here on Friday. The strong words from the No. 2 in the party took not just the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government but Congress’ own media and communications head Ajay Maken, too, by surprise. In fact, till a few minutes before Gandhi made the statement, Maken, had been defending the UPA government’s decision to move the ordinance.
In his brief 10-minute interjection, Gandhi said it was high time all political parties including Congress stopped making such compromises if they really wanted to fight corruption.
Gandhi, however, did not take any questions from journalists who asked if he wasn’t undermining Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. He left as quickly as he had come in. Left with little maneuvering room, the Congress took a U-turn within minutes, with Maken stating: “Rahul Gandhi’s was the official position and Congress opposes the ordinance.”
It was meant to be a routine meet the press’ event with Maken as the communication incharge of the party fielding questions on the ordinance. Before Gandhi’s intervention, Maken had painstakingly listed out the sequence of events leading to the decision to bring an ordinance. He said the formulations for the ordinance had been discussed at an all-party meeting on August 13. He repeated what Finance Minister P Chidambaram said on Thursday to defend the government position in the face of a belligerent Opposition. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had labelled the ordinance unconstitutional’.
While Maken was addressing the press conference, he received a call on his cell phone and he immediately excused himself and stepped down from the dais, saying it was a “very important call” and he must take it.
This unexpected incident had media persons speculate about who the caller could be, for it is unusual for Maken to have interrupted the press conference to take a phone call. Maken returned to the dais within a minute to announce it was a “historic occasion”, as Rahul Gandhi himself was coming over to address the media.
Gandhi moves with Z-plus security cover. His arrival was swift and had photojournalists scrambling to cover him. As soon as he took centre stage, Press Club president Anand Sahay offered a formal welcome to Gandhi, recalling how his father, the late Rajiv Gandhi, had visited the Club and had a memorable’ press interaction.
Within minutes, Gandhi’s interaction, too, turned out to be memorable’, albeit in a dramatic way, as Gandhi threw a spanner in the works of his own government.
Gandhi said he had decided to walk in to make known his “personal opinion” about the ordinance and how Maken, whom he had called up, had given him the “official (party) line”.
He said: “In my opinion, the ordinance is complete nonsense”, adding, “It should be torn up and thrown out.”
Noticing the shocked expressions of the audience, he said: “I’ll repeat it for you. The ordinance is complete nonsense. It should be torn up and thrown out.”
Before anyone could quiz him on this, he went on: “Internally, the arguments being given within the Congress party is that it has to be done because of political considerations. That is the line what everybody will give you, the Congress will give you, the BJP will give you.”
He added: “There’s a time to stop this nonsense, adding, “If we want to fight corruption, these small compromises cannot be made. It’s time all political parties stopped making these compromises.”
As he got up, a reporter asked him about his reaction to what Gujarat chief minister and BJP’s PM candidate Narendra Modi’s take on the ordinance. Gandhi shot back, “It’s not my job to answer what others have to say. I’m interested in what our party and government does.”
Without taking any questions, he stormed out of the press conference, accompanied by Maken, with reporters chasing him.
It was a remarkable sight as the electronic media had started wrapping up their equipment, thinking the press conference was all over. However, Maken came back on the dais and resumed the interaction.
It was, then, left to Maken to take the volley of questions thrown at him. Notably, Maken turned diplomatic and responded to all queries with a one-liner: “Rahul Gandhi is our leader. What he had said is the party’s official stand.”
When reporters asked him why information and broadcasting minister Manish Tewari was defending the UPA’s decision to go for an ordinance, Maken replied with a straight face: “They are voicing the government’s stand. Rahul Gandhi’s is the party’s stand.”
Maken chose not to reply to uncomfortable questions as to whether this amounted to an erosion of the Prime Minister and his Cabinet’s authority or that this was proof that the twin-power centre model was not really working.
Caught in an unenviable position, all that Maken could say in support of Gandhi’s stand was: “Rahul Gandhi has aired the views of the common man who does not want to see any convicted people in Parliament or in our Assemblies.”
Two years ago, external affairs minister Salman Khurshid had created a flutter when he said: “We have only seen cameos of his (Rahul Gandhi’s) thought and ideas.” On Friday, it was one such brief cameo, which took centre stage role.
What the ordinance is all about
On July 10, the Supreme Court of India held Section 8 (4) of the Representation of the People Act (RPA), 1951, unconstitutional. The court order said an MP or MLA must be immediately disqualified if convicted by a court in a criminal offence with a jail sentence of two years or more. Section 8 (4) of the RPA protects convicted legislators from disqualification if they appeal before a higher court within three months. This, the apex court said, was unconstitutional.
Holding that Parliament had exceeded its powers in providing such an immunity, the court ruled it had lacked legislative competence to enact this provision, since it was in direct conflict with Articles 101 and 102 of the Constitution. These stipulate the principles for those who want to contest elections, as well as those who have been elected. The court had ruled that no relaxation could be given to a sitting MP or MLA when an ordinary citizen was barred from contesting elections if he stood convicted on the date of polling.
According to the government, when this matter came up in an all-party meeting, the unanimous view – including the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party – was that in their political life, public persons do come in conflict with the law. Sometimes, they are even convicted on criminal charges. Their rivals can institute cases against them.
They must have as much right to be heard and to appeal against their conviction as anyone else. Armed with this, the government decided those elected MPs or MLAs must be given the chance to retain their seat (subject to truncated powers and privileges) till they appeal against their conviction. Accordingly an ordinance was drawn up and cleared by the cabinet. However, even as Finance Minister P Chidambaram, Law Minister Kapil Sibal and others were defending the ordinance, it appears the leadership of the BJP developed cold feet.
They deny having ever agreed to an ordinance. It says at the all-party meeting the party merely said the proposed legislation should go to the relevant standing committee of Parliament. Those from the government who were present at the meeting contest this.

European Arrest Warrant issued for gang boss ‘Fat’ Freddie Thompson
AN international arrest warrant has been issued for gang boss ‘Fat’ Freddie Thompson.
The 33-year-old is wanted in relation to a violent pub row in January 2013.
The pub brawl happened after the funeral of Thompson’s friend Christopher Warren.
Thompson had been given special permission by Spanish police to return to Ireland for the funeral.
It is believed that Spanish authorities failed to inform the gardai of Thompson’s return – and that they only learned he was here after examining CCTV footage of the riot.
The DPP has told gardai there is enough evidence to charge the gangster with violent disorder in relation to the incident – which led to the warrant being issued.


No, water pressure is immediate. If you replaced the sink faucet you probably ended up with one of the "low flow" faucets that are being produced to save water. Sometimes they can be taken apart and "encouraged" to let more water through. if the valve had no been used in awile the gasket will stick when you turn it off and back on replace the valve with a quarter turn ball type valve and you wont have this problem again
A hydraulic pressure reducing valve works by allowing hydraulic fluid to be released. This hydraulic fluid is then chambered separately until it is needed again. The valve is turned either left or right to either build pressure or take pressure away.
May be build up in the valve itself or the shower head.
Make enquiry's with the manufacturer of the compressor and get the max pressure rating. Then let the pressure in the tank build up to that level. If it does not open get a new valve
The heart controls arterial blood. It's pumping creates pressure. The last thing you'd need is a sticky or malfunctioning valve in an artery, because pressure would build up behind the stuck valve.
the pcv valve is on the back right of the valve cover if not get one
pressure relief valve relief the excess pressure which is developed in the syatem, while pressure reducing valve reduces the pressure and supply it to the system.
your pcv valve or hose is restricted causing excessive crankcase pressure
no pressure release valve
If the valve is a multi turn valve, it is because the valve seat is no longer good. Replace the valve. It it is a quarter turn valve, it is because the mechanism that turns the ball is no good and the valve does not turn completely shut. once again, replace the valve.
A relief valve is in a system that builds pressure to make sure it doesn't build up too much pressure and burst the tank or line. The water heater has one, an air compressor has one, any thing that builds pressure will have one at some point. Pressure reducing valve regulates how much pressure is available in the line. Water line from the city may have 100 lbs. in it but there is a reducing valve right inside the house so that the pipes in the house only get 40 lbs. in them.
You can, but it'd be amazingly pointless. The blow valve is needed on turbo engines to release the pressure that can build up if the driver goes off the throttle quickly and the engine revs drops fast. W/o a turbo you won't get any pressure build-up so there's no use for a blow valve.

I live outside a small town of 7,000 in the Blue Ridge mountains of SW Virginia. The town goes asleep at 9:30, so when it is dark; it is dark. The road I live on is an old cow path, honest. This means it hugs the contour of the terrain; meaning there are fifteen curves in the two mile stretch from the main road. I am painting a picture so you understand what inspired this post.
At night it is dark, the only light is from my headlights. Headlights illuminate about 35 feet in front of you. This means, as I navigate the cow path at night, I am doing so 35 feet at a time. What lies beyond my headlights is an unknown until it is known (Donald Rumsfeld). See. LIFE is like driving in the dark.
None of us knows 100% of what lies ahead. We all live 35 feet at any given time. Decisions made get based on what we see in front of us. Familiar environments, like an old cow path, are predictable but not certain. That is because life is a series of random events that typically go together so they seem predictable but sometimes an event doesn’t fit. Lightening is a predictable event but a strike is not.
The road behind us is already navigated. Few people get out of their car to go back and dissect ever twist and turn. However, a majority of my patients do exactly that; spend so much time dissecting the past that they never get anywhere. No, for better or worse, we live 35 feet at a time. I think it is important that we collective realize and except this because I believe it makes u better drivers
We are driven by faith. I write a lot about faith because I believe it is the number one tool in the shed. Sadly, I noticed many do not consider it. That would be ironic if it weren’t sad. Those familiar with a tool but are too lazy or don’t care enough to consider it’s usefulness are like those that use a butter knife instead of getting a screwdriver.
The fact: FAITH drives us, otherwise, we stay in our 35 feet.
People gripped by anxiety are afraid of the dark. I say gripped. We are all weary of the unknown and carrry our fair share of anxiety. A certain amount of anxiety is healthy but it should only make you a better driver, NOT stop the journey. Agoraphobics are extreme cases of those gripped by anxiety.
Agoraphobia (ag-uh-ruh-FOE-be-uh) is a type of anxiety disorder in which you fear and avoid places or situations that might cause you to panic and make you feel trapped, helpless or embarrassed. You fear an anticipated situation.
What drives you forward? I hope you said faith. There is a creek that runs besides that curvy road I take home every night. When it rains, the creek swells over the road. My desire to get home, to reach my destination, is driven by faith that I will make it safely and that overcomes any fear.
I trust you get the point. ANXIETY is fear of the unknown. It is caused by fooling ourselves that we know th unknowable. People gripped with anxiety, fear what lies beyond the 35 feet. So much so that they never make it to their destination, never realize what they could be. They want assurance of their safety before they venture outside their 35 feet of comfort. They rely on trust more than faith and never leave that 35 foot leash.
FAITH trumps anxiety.
How do you get faith? Start by BELIEVING in yourself more than fear. Fear is a feeling of the unknown. Belief is a feeling of the unknown. Both are unknowns that lie beyond the 35 feet. The difference is in the story. One story is full of pessimism, dread and regret and the other of optimism, comfort, and contentment. Guess what? YOU are the author of both stories. Soooo … What story are you telling yourself?

|Ciordia, M.; Feito, I.; Pereira-Lorenzo, S.; Fernández, A.; Majada, J. Adaptive diversity in Castanea sativa Mill. half-sib progenies in response to drought stress. Environmental and Experimental Botany. 2012; 78: 56-63.
|Variation patterns in phenotypic expression after cultivation in two water regimes: 50% and 90% substrate saturation were studied in progenies of chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) cultivars originating from two main origins in the Iberian Peninsula: North (specifically from Asturias and Galicia) and Central Iberian Peninsula (specifically from the Canary Islands and Andalusia in Southern Spain related to this gene pool). The restricted water supply reduced the water potential of all the families as well as their growth, both in terms of height and weight. Root development increased whilst leaf area decreased as a result of reduction in number and surface area of individual leaves as well as sprouting rather than through defoliation. Drought stress also modified the morphology of the leaves and the relationships indicating the rate of relative development of the leaves compared to the rest of the plant. A correlation with the minimum summer rainfall in the regions of provenance was observed for several traits. The phenotypic variation observed was greater than expected from progenies of selected fruit cultivars. The results of this study show that (i) phenotypic variation exists between the two origins of variability corresponding to the two identified gene pools; (ii) the Northern group might be considered more tolerant to drought stress when considering plantlets’ ability to recover water potential, though important phenotypic plasticity was found in both origins of variability; and (iii) the pattern of variation found in some physiological and morphological traits suggests that Spanish chestnut stands have great potential to respond to the expected increase in drought in the Iberian Peninsula over the present century.

Lockheed Martin Successfully Flight Tests Low-Cost Autonomous Attack System
ORLANDO, FL, November 3rd, 2005 -- Lockheed Martin conducted a successful operator-in-the-loop flight test of the LOCAAS™, a low-cost autonomous attack system at Eglin AFB, FL on Oct. 21. LOCAAS is an autonomous, wide-area search miniature munition that is equipped with a LADAR seeker.
“This test demonstrated the capability of LOCAAS to integrate automatic combat identification, global data links, operator-in-the-loop involvement, and successful redirect of the weapon,” said Randy Bigum, vice president of Strike Weapons at Lockheed Martin.
The LOCAAS flight test vehicle was launched from a King Air 200 and flew more than 40 nautical miles in approximately 15 minutes. During the flight, LOCAAS was powered by the Technical Directions Incorporated J45G turbojet engine as it used its laser radar (LADAR) seeker to search, identify and report on targets in a preplanned mission search area.
While flying the planned mission, the operator-in-the-loop redirected the test vehicle to the location of a moving target elsewhere on the range. Once redirected, the test vehicle altered its predefined flight path to an optimal approach to the moving target as the new primary target of interest.
The Globalstar SATCOM system was used to link the LOCAAS test vehicle and the operator-in-the-loop with a detailed simulation of the Network Centric Collaborative Targeting (NCCT) system developed by L3 Communications. NCCT fused track and identification information from simulated Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) platform sensors to provide the approximate location of the moving, time-sensitive target. The test vehicle was also linked via data link to the Cooperative Attack Munitions Real-time Assessment (CAMRA) testbed, which simulated three “virtual” munitions cooperatively searching in flight paths adjacent to the test vehicle. Once cued by the operator-in-the-loop, the virtual munitions performed coordinated attack operations in concert with the flight test vehicle using real-time information received across the data link. The link to NCCT allowed the flight test vehicle to act as a non-traditional ISR sensor transmitting detected target vehicle identification, location, time, and weapon status information for use by other systems and operators.
An Air Force flight-rated operator, serving as the operator-in-the-loop, retargeted the LOCAAS flight test vehicle to “attack” the NCCT-tracked moving vehicle. During the test vehicle’s flight, the operator monitored real-time weapon state information, as well as, the near-real time location updates of detected targets provided by NCCT. The operator interface utilized a modified version of the Air Force’s Portable Flight Planning System (PFPS) FalconView map overlay application. The FalconView application was executed on a ruggedized laptop computer and enabled the operator to relay the relevant target track information, as well as break-off and/or abort commands to the LOCAAS flight test vehicle.
The Air Force Research Laboratory, Munitions Directorate sponsored the flight test which was the culmination of five successful flights including one with a live warhead.

Gospel of Mark 10:32-45 and Gospel of Luke 7:36-50
It is then possible to correct a flawed life.
The age of ignorance unfortunately establishes as the purpose of life.
God brings you to the path, to meaning.
There is a balance in atoning for evil things: 17 years of sinful desires driven by lust bring 17 years of tormenting fights to subdue the desires for the one who wants to be saved.
Even if you are holy, you do not leave this world without confessing thoroughly and purely, without Holy Communion.
Behold - a woman who humbled Abba Zosima.
And behold a model of encouragement for any heart broken by sin or a heart whose rudder of life is broken and misses the Meaning of life.
Affix yourself to God, to the Most Pure Theotokos, and your life will be filled with meaning!
Excerpt from: Father Arsenie Boca - "Living Words", Charisma Publishing House, Deva, 2006, pp. 74-77.

Classic musical ‘The Fantasticks’ to be staged at Ripon College Nov. 13-16
The timeless musical The Fantasticks, by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, will be presented by the Ripon College departments of music and theatre Nov. 13-16. Performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Benstead Theatre, C.J. Rodman Center for the Arts.
Admission is free, but reservations are highly recommended and can be made by calling 748-8791 or emailing [email protected]
The Fantasticks is the longest running musical in American history. Started as an adaptation of a play by Edmund Rostand by two college classmates, The Fantasticks became an unlikely hit in New York where it was a revolutionary contrast to the big book musicals of Broadway.
Beginning in 1960, the musical ran for 42 years until 2002. Then, it was revived in 2006 and ran for 11 more years until 2017. The Fantasticks ran for 53 years in New York and has played in 67 countries. During that span, Ripon College produced the musical twice: in 1963 when a young Harrison Ford played El Gallo; and in 1987, when Adjunct Instructor of Music Maria Dietrich, a member of the current band, played keyboards.
The latest production will bring fresh eyes and new ideas to a timeless musical. The cast features Wil Bridenhagen ’21 of Neenah, Wisconsin, as El Gallo; Maria Reber ’21 of Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, as Luisa; Benjamin Marn ’22 of Ripon, Wisconsin, as Matt; Katy Dano ’22 of Hubertus, Wisconsin, as the Mute; Bailey Jerrick ’20 of Stoughton, Wisconsin, as Bellomy; Madeleine Craig ’20 of West Bend, Wisconsin, as Hucklebee; Deshawn Thomas ’20 of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as Henry; and Race Rohde ’20 of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as Mortimer.
The play is directed by Professor of Theatre Kenneth Hill. Set and lighting designs are by John Dalziel, associate professor of theatre; and costumes are by student designer Heidi DeCaluwe ’20 of West Bend, Wisconsin. Courtney Hall ’20 of West Allis, Wisconsin, is the assistant director, and Lindsey Wigand ’22 of West Allis, Wisconsin, is the stage manager. The musical and vocal direction is by Erin Bryan, assistant professor of music.

Don Molenaar, Guust Hilte and Thomas de Wolf are the founders of Beam Labs BV. It is the company that is at the origin of an innovative picoprojector both for its design and its practicality. It all started during a kind of brainstorming in March 2014. The ideas were flying!
Some people want to get the projector out of its usual frame. In addition to the office and meeting rooms, why not offer the opportunity to use it daily in other rooms, at home ...? The concept of connection to a standard bulb socket is retained.
Then, others wanted to add functions more playful, more practical ...
Beam is born, it is a success on crowdfunding platforms, and seduces any lover of technology and design. He wins a 1st prize Red dot design 2016 and continues its growth.
Beam Labs BV does not stop there. Indeed, the Dutch startup is expanding its team of designers, engineers and business experts to improve its products, and to offer more.

Anyone who has visited one of the National Parks has probably heard some form of the slogan: “Take only pictures, leave only footprints.” The goal is for each park visitor to leave the park in good condition for future visitors by not leaving graffiti behind or taking the sea shells or wild flowers. The slogan asks people to think beyond immediate gratification to the wellbeing of the park and the future enjoyment of other visitors.
The Sixth Commandment is cut from the same cloth. It is God’s way of teaching us that sexuality is not simply a means for personal satisfaction; it is a gift from him designed to be shared with another. Of all the commandments, the one about God’s gift of sexuality is the most often treated as being only concerned with what people can’t do. More than any other commandment, it is treated as if the only reason it exists is so that God can make life miserable or punish people for being bad.
That is not the case. Like the other commandments, its primary concern is telling us who God created us to be and how we are designed to work. Like the other commandments of the second table, it speaks to the different relationships we are given with others. Rather than getting bogged down in the many ways this commandment could be broken, God’s children are called to embrace the gift and freedom that this commandment brings into our lives and relationships.
Yes, the Sixth Commandment is about sexual freedom. Despite the common view of marriage as limiting sexuality, marriage actually frees God’s gift of sexuality to be what it was created to be. God’s gift of sexuality is designed to be a special way in which a man and a woman give themselves entirely to the other physically as part of a unique relationship unlike any other.
While much of popular culture embraces the notion of “casual sex,” the emotional bond created in a sexual union cannot be denied. Think of the emotional pain that follows not only a divorce, but the ending of any sexual relationship. It is no mere coincidence that even in a sexually permissive culture like our own infidelity is still taboo. Even Hollywood recognizes this bond. How many movies or television shows are based around the premise of two people being “friends with benefits” until one of them recognizes the strong bond between them.
The undeniable bond created by a sexual union may be the source of many problems for those who are trying to live in a promiscuous culture, but it is helpful in its intended context: marriage. Sex is created to be one way that husbands and wives remain committed to each other through the many ups and downs of life together. This “adhesive” quality of sex is its strength, not a necessary evil that must be dealt with as one moves from bed to bed. The very quality our world views as one of the biggest burdens associated with sex is in fact one of its greatest qualities in the eyes and design of God.
This bond is not merely hypothetical. It expresses itself in the birth of children, which is the natural result of a sexual relationship. While humans throughout history have spent countless hours trying to discover new ways to have sexual relationships while avoiding the “risk” of children, the simple fact remains that the birth of children is woven into the fabric of human sexuality. This too this is a good thing! Joining together to raise children draws husbands and wives together. Godly sexuality is designed to help God’s people focus on the needs of others by binding a man and a woman to one another in a unique life-long commitment and by joining them together as they raise the children that result from such a union.
Much more could be said about the way sin has ruined this great gift of God. The resources are certainly out there for men and women who want to discover more fully how sex outside marriage, homosexual sex, pornography, or other sexual sins affect the whole life of a person. Additionally, the effects of the Fall are seen beyond temptations to sexual sins. There are also resources for those whose godly sexual relationships (through no fault of their own) have not resulted in the gift of children, or for those who have never known the gift of marriage.
But sin’s corruption of a gift does not destroy what that gift was first created to be. Sexuality remains a great gift of God designed to bind husband and wife together in a companionship unlike any other human relationship. The Sixth Commandment is not about what you can’t do. It is a gift from God, designed to be part of a lifelong human relationship unlike any other.

The second plenary session of the 15th National Assembly opened in Hanoi on October 20.
Vietnam is facing new and greater difficulties and challenges, requiring the country to promote the tradition of great national solidarity to overcome this tough time, stated National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue at the opening of the 15th NA's second session in Hanoi on October 20.
The event was held in the form of video conference with connection to 62 NA deputy delegations in localities nationwide.
The NA leader noted that the fourth wave of COVID-19 has posed severe impacts on many sectors, seriously affecting production and business activities as well as the livelihoods and living conditions of people.
With a minus 6.17 percent year on year economic growth in the third quarter, the country's economy expanded only 1.42 percent in the first nine months of this year, the lowest level since 2000, he said, adding that economic growth for the whole year is likely to reach only 2.5-3 percent, far below the target set by the NA at about 6 percent.
Thanks to the solidarity of the whole nation, social consensus and the active engagement of the entire political system as well as the support and trust of the people and assistance from the Vietnamese community abroad and international friends, COVID-19 has been put under control across the nation, he said.
Meanwhile, the macro-economy has remained stable, and the agricultural sector has recorded strong growth and continued to be the backbone of the economy and social stability, said the NA leader.
He underlined that exports have surged over the same period last year, while inflation has been reigned in, State budget collection and major balances of the economy have been ensured, social welfare and security have received great attention, and national defence, security and social order have been maintained.
The top legislator briefed on the working programme of the second session, with two laws and five resolutions to be adopted, and five other bills along with the Government's reports on a series of important issues to be tabled for discussion. Question-and-answer sessions will also be held.
The NA leader asked all legislators to show high sense of responsibility in the debate, speaking out voters' opinions and deciding important matters.
Following the opening ceremony, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh delivered a report on the results of the socio-economic development plan for 2021 and a draft plan for 2022.
Second session of 15th National Assembly opens
The second session of the 15th National Assembly opens in Hanoi on October 20 morning.
The meeting is broadcast live by Radio the Voice of Vietnam (VOV1), Vietnam Television (VTV1) and National Assembly Television.
Prior to the opening ceremony, a delegation of leaders of the Party, State and Vietnam Fatherland Front and NA deputies paid tribute to late President Ho Chi Minh at his mausoleum.
They then held a preparatory meeting to discuss and vote on the working programme of the second session.
Amid the complex developments of COVID-19, the meeting is held both in-person and online. Legislators will meet virtually from October 20 to 30, and then join in-person discussions from November 8 to 13.
The deputies are expected to consider and adopt two bills and five draft resolutions, including the law amending and supplementing some articles of the Statistics Law, the law amending and supplementing some articles of the Criminal Procedure Code, resolutions on a number of specific mechanisms and policies for Hai Phong city, and Nghe An , Thanh Hoa and Thua Thien-Hue provinces, and another resolution on the organisation of online trials.
Five other bills, comprising the Law on Mobile Police, the Law on Cinematography (amended), the Law on Insurance Business, the Law on Emulation and Commendation (amended), and the law amending and supplementing some articles of the Intellectual Property Law, will also be tabled for discussions.
Apart from legislative matters, the deputies will scrutinise reports on the implementation of the socio-economic development plan and state budget estimate in 2021, and COVID-19 prevention and control, along with decisions on socio-economic development plan, state budget estimate and central budget allocation plan for 2022, among others.
The NA Office has also drawn up plans for a scenario where the pandemic continues to develop complicatedly nationwide. Under the scenario, the meeting will be held in the form of teleconference entirely and without the gap between the two phases, so that the session will conclude earlier, giving time for the Government and localities to focus on the pandemic fight.
First working day of 15th NA's second session
The second plenary session of the 15th National Assembly will open in Hanoi on October 20.
On the first working day of the session, participants are to spend one-minute of silence to commemorate dead victims of COVID-19.
Following the opening remarks by NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh will deliver a report on the progress of the socio-economic development plan for 2021 and a draft plan for 2022. A verification report on the plans will be delivered by Chairman of the NA Economic Committee Vu Hong Thanh.
Chairman of the NA Committee for Social Affairs Nguyen Thuy Anh is to present a report verifying the results of COVID-19 prevention and control measures and the implementation of Resolution No. 30/2021/QH15 on outcomes of the first session of the 15th National Assembly.
In the morning, President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee Do Van Chien is scheduled to deliver a report summarising ideas and requests from voters to the 15th NA's second session, followed by a report read by Duong Thanh Binh, head of the NA Standing Committee's Ombudsman Committee, on the supervision results of the settlement of requests that voters sent to the 11th session of the 14th NA.
In the afternoon, NA deputies will listen to Minister of Finance Ho Duc Phoc's report on the State budget disbursement situation in 2021 and the estimate and allocation plan for 2022 as well as the State finance-budget plan for the 2022-2024 period, along with a verification report on the work.
Also in the afternoon, Inspector General of the Supreme People's Procuracy Le Minh Tri will present a draft Law on amendments and supplements to a number of articles of the Law on Execution of Criminal Judgments.
Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung will also deliver a proposal on a bill on amendments and supplements to a number of articles of the Statistics Law.
Later, the legislators will discuss the two bills in groups./.
