Balanced, efficient, and powerful, the compact AX405 Crossbow Package from Axe Crossbows puts accurate, easy-to-shoot power in the hands of crossbow hunters. Employing a shoot-through stock and riser design and reverse limb system, the AX405 delivers an easy-to-balance feel from a compact and easy-to-maneuver 27-3/4″-long crossbow. Powerful reverse limb design and advanced cam system launch arrows up to 405 fps from a narrow design that’s just 10″ from axle-to-axle when cocked. Linked by cables that run parallel to each other, the crossbow’s highly efficient cam system eliminates cam-lean and limb torque for enhanced accuracy. The AX405 also features a unique cable brace that limits flex away from the center to help ensure the string moves straight and level throughout the entire power stroke. This straight arrow plane works with the AX405’s shoot-through riser and full-capture front roller rest to create a free-floating arrow system for even more efficiency, accuracy and speed. 3.7-lb., zero-creep, 2-stage sliding trigger system with automatic safety. Adding an adjustable butt stock and adjustable cheek comb to the crossbow’s ergonomic chassis and balanced center of mass design, the AX405 makes it easy to find that perfect shooting position. Integrated cocking system takes the work out of cocking, as well as offering a safe decocking feature. Collapsible/adjustable foot peg. Draw Weight: 210 lbs. Power Stroke: 13″. Weight: 9.7 lbs. (without scope). Package includes: Illuminated multi-range scope, 3-arrow quiver, 3 AXE micro-diameter bolts with 100-grain practice tips.

Following Jyotika starrer Ponmagal Vandhal, the next film to directly hit the Over-The-Top (OTT) platform is Keerthy Suresh‘s Penguin/PenQueen. A film that was to hit the screens in early 2020 will now directly premiere on Amazon Prime on June 19, 2020.
Helmed by debut director Eashvar Karthic, the ‘woman-centric’ film is being bankrolled by Passion Studios and presented by filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj‘s Stone Bench Films which had previously produced Meyaadha Maan and Mercury. The film marks the third production of Stone Bench Films.
She’s on a path-breaking journey… destined to go very far! #Penguin releasing on 19th June #PenguinOnPrime #WorldPremiereOnPrime@keerthyofficial @EashvarKarthic @karthiksubbaraj @music_santhosh @madhampatty @stonebenchfilms pic.twitter.com/uFCxpcAUhH

On Monday, May 11, the TamilNadu government allowed the resumption of post-production activities such as editing, dubbing, VFX (Visual Effects), CGI (Computer Generated Imagery), DI (Digital Intermediary), BGM Score (Background Music Score), Sound Effects, Foley and Mixing with a limited number of crew members and sanitised workplaces. Many films like Shankar‘s Indian 2 starring Kamal, MS Anandan‘s Chakra starring Vishal, M Saravanan‘s Raangi starring Trisha, Lokesh Kanagaraj‘s Master starring Vijay, Nelson Dilipkumar‘s Doctor starring Sivakarthikeyan had commenced work.
Among these films was Keerthy Suresh’s Penguin/PenQueen which commenced with dubbing. In a list given out by the Film Employees’ Federation of South India (FEFSI), Penguin/PenQueen was listed as a telefilm. This gave rise to speculation that the film would directly hit the OTT platform skipping a theatrical release. Although, no official announcement was made back then.

The cast of Penguin/PenQueen reportedly includes Madhampatty Rangaraj who was the lead in Mehandi Circus and Linga from Sindhubaadh. Karthik Palani has handled the camera, Anil Krish on edit, art by Sakthee Venkatraj M, and costumes were designed by Pallavi Singh. While Santhosh Narayanan has composed music, Thomas Kurian was in charge of sound design.
Last year, Stone Bench Films unveiled the lead’s first look from the film. A silhouette of Keerthy’s character, who appears to be pregnant is seen and in the backdrop are mountains.

Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino is a hotel and casino near the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, United States. It is owned by Eric Birnbaum and operated by Caesars Entertainment. The Rio was the first all suite resort in the Las Vegas area. It was named after the city of Rio de Janeiro and is influenced by Brazilian culture. It is the host casino for the World Series of Poker.
The hotel towers are covered in blue and red glass. The Rio hotel's 2,522 suites range in size from 600 to 13,000 sq ft (56 to 1,208 m2) and have floor to ceiling windows. There are several private villas on the property for high-rollers.
The complex includes a wine cellar that has more than 50,000 bottles. The Rio Pavilion convention center has a total of 160,000 sq ft (15,000 m2) of space. A Race and Sports Book is also available.
MarCor Development Co., Inc purchased the vacant property in 1988, at a cost of $11 million. At the end of the year, the company announced plans to build the Rio, which would be Las Vegas' first all-suite hotel-casino. MarCor broke ground on the $80 million project on February 9, 1989. The groundbreaking ceremony included a 15-foot by 30-foot sand sculpture replica of the 21-story hotel. The resort was designed and built by Marnell Corrao Associates.
The Rio opened on January 15, 1990. It featured a Brazilian theme based on Rio Carnival, and Brazilian musician Sérgio Mendes performed at the resort a few weeks later. The property included a 44,000 sq ft (4,100 m2) casino, with 900 slot machines and 42 table games. It also had 424 suites, five restaurants, five bars, and a pool with a waterfall. It employed 1,500 workers. The resort's target demographic would consist primarily of local residents and motorists from southern California. Resort officials believed that the property's location, just west of Interstate 15 and the Las Vegas Strip, would be appealing to tourists.
The Rio was the first casino opened by MarCor, which had largely focused on business parks and shopping centers. By 1992, MarCor had sold all of its other properties to focus solely on the Rio. The hotel was successful, prompting a 437-unit addition, which broke ground on January 4, 1993. A $25 million expansion was announced later that year which would include more casino space. The new hotel tower opened during Labor Day weekend, bringing the room count to 861. The casino expansion opened at the end of 1993. A few months later, the resort announced a $75 million addition which would further expand the casino, and would increase the hotel with 549 rooms, for a total of 1,410.
The Rio had a $250,000 laser system for nighttime displays. The system had to be adjusted in 1994, to avoid temporarily blinding commercial pilots. A $20 million expansion began in 1995, adding 144 suites, more meeting room space, and a new health club and salon facility. A $187 million expansion was underway in 1996, including six new restaurants and the addition of a 41-story tower with 1,000 rooms.
Masquerade Village, a hotel tower and casino expansion including the Masquerade Show in the Sky, opened in 1997 at a cost of over $200 million. The Rio was purchased by Harrah's Entertainment (later named Caesars Entertainment) in 1999 for $888 million. After the purchase, the Culinary Workers Union organized the Rio employees through card check recognition by enforcing the neutrality clause of the existing Harrah's contract on the new acquisition.
The Rio's Penn & Teller Theater was the host venue of the 30th anniversary special for the hit CBS game show The Price Is Right and has been used for Live! with Regis and Kelly, Hell's Kitchen and numerous Penn & Teller television projects. The hotel hosted the World Series of Poker in 2005, the first time this event was not held at Binion's. Binion's was used for the final three tables and the last two days of the competition as part of the celebration of Las Vegas' centennial. Since 2005, the Rio has been the home for the tournament.
In December 2019, Caesars sold the Rio for $516 million to New York-based real estate developer Eric Birnbaum. Under the deal, Caesars would continue to operate the Rio under lease for at least two years, paying $45 million a year in rent.
In March 2021, it was announced that the property had entered into a franchise agreement with Hyatt. Following a renovation, the main 1501-room wing and its facilities will be rebranded as a Hyatt Regency, while the other 1009-room tower will be rebranded later to other Hyatt brands.
KISS by Monster Mini Golf
KISS by Monster Mini Golf is a franchise of the Monster Mini Golf chain; as the name suggests, this location is based on classic rock band KISS. In addition to the 18-hole miniature golf course, the venue also boasts a Rock and Roll Themed wedding chapel called the "I Love It Loud Wedding Chapel", the world's largest KISS gift shop, and a KISS Museum featuring memorabilia from the band's career on display. It also hosts regular appearances by KISS band members, both past and present.
On May 30, 2008, the Rio opened the Sapphire Pool in conjunction with a local club. The daylight-hour, adults-only club surrounded one of the property's outdoor pools and featured dancers. It opened with a $30-per-male-customer admission price. The venture was a high-profile joint venture between a casino company and a topless business, and was notable because the possibility of bringing in criminal activity at the club had caused the Nevada Gaming Control Board to balk at previous collaborations; some in the media questioned whether the risk was worth the potential payoff for the hotel.
In late July 2009, the Rio hotel asked the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) to do a routine undercover investigation of the Sapphire Pool, as casino-resorts in Nevada are held responsible for the activities held on their premises. The request was a part of the resort's effort to show good faith to the Gaming Control Board. The July 25 visit resulted in 11 arrests. Upon finding out the results of the investigation, the Rio immediately shut down the pool.
When Creation Entertainment lost the "Star Trek mecca" for its annual Official Convention after the closing of Star Trek: The Experience at the adjoining former Las Vegas Hilton, the convention moved to the Rio in 2011 and has grown ever since. For 2016, the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, the event expands to a fifth day and by December 31, 2015, had already broken a room-reservation record with 12,000+ rooms reserved by attendees, guests and vendors.
The SKUSA SuperNationals, a kart racing event to which international kart and car drivers are invited (Michael Schumacher raced in 2009), takes place each year at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino, a circuit is set on the hotel parking lot.
The Computer Measurement Group (CMG) annual conference took place at the Rio in December 2012.

I've received an update from Ray Fournier, who produces the Disney Encore! events. He's sent me some corrections on the info to follow (which I originally received from another source), and I've made those corrections.
Time again for an event put on by Disney's Encore! Cast Choir and Orchestra — made up of Disney employees who are singers and musicians — to put on their concerts to raise money for charity. Last summer's production raised almost $26,000 for United Arts.
This time around, Encore! is branching out — performing two cabaret-style fundraising concerts at Pleasure Island's Motion (remember Pleasure Island?) Feb. 27 and 28 and then also participating in three performances celebrating the first anniversary of the Garden Theatre in Winter Garden March 6-8.
Funds raised from the Pleasure Island cabarets will go toward producing this summer's Encore! concerts — which, in turn, will benefit United Arts once again.
Here are the dates and places:

In 1994, the Neighborhood Investment Council (NIC) was created as a task force by the United Way Planning Committee. Its mission was to direct financial and other resources into Neighborhood Associations, with the goal of bringing neighbors together for common purposes, and strengthening the connections among neighbors.
In 1996, Neighborhood Block Grants were initiated through NIC, allowing them to provide small grants to neighborhoods. In January 1999, a neighborhood coalition was established that became known as Neighborhood Associates. Neighborhood Associates cooperated with the United Way to coordinate the Livable Neighborhoods planning exercise as part of the United Way Comprehensive Community Assessment.
By 2000, Neighborhood Associates had changed their name to United Neighborhoods of Evansville (UNOE). At that time, there were 34 member Neighborhood Associations. UNOE received their State incorporation status in February 2001. On August 20, 2001, UNOE received 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, designating us as a nonprofit organization.
Since 2000, UNOE and the City of Evansville have been partnered in our efforts to preserve, enhance, and promote all Evansville Neighborhoods.

One of the later sequences in this heavily armed action flick takes place in a bullfighting ring. Yes, we're now in Spain. No kidding.
But it's almost like the rest of this movie is downwind of that locale.
Because while you'd think a movie with such a ballistic name and such a grunty, manly cast would would smell of cordite, burning rubber, cigarettes and whiskey, the dominant tang in the air is pure bullshit.
That's something you can't blame on los toros de Barcelona. The stink comes from a movie that gathers an impressive cast - included a muscled-up Sean Penn in his first popcorn movie role in years - and then sticks them in a confused clumsy conspiracy thriller.
It's one that attempts to say something about Western intervention in Africa, private military companies, the toll violence takes on its perpetrators.
It's one that attempts to make its lead character interesting by giving him not just a sense of guilt - we meet Penn's Jim Terrier an ex-military hotshot providing security to an aid organisation in the Congo shortly before he's tasked with assassinating the country's minister of mining - but with a debilitating brain condition that means every firefight is literally doing his head in.
It's directed by Pierre Morel, who started the geri-action genre with Liam Neeson in Taken. This one's both more complex and stupider and barely exciting, even when it's hailing bullets.
Having escaped the country after the assassination, years later, he returns to the Congo to work for a NGO and appease his conscience (as you do when you're a merciless mercenary).
No sooner has he dug a few wells than he's fighting for his life.
Terrier is soon off on a jetset tour of London, Barcelona and Gibraltar to look up old comrades (including Winstone's grizzled veteran), arouse the interest of Interpol (Idris Elba getting not a lot to do) rescue his former girlfriend Annie once or twice (Italian actress Jasmine Trinca, leaving little trace on proceedings) and suffer the occasional dizzy spell when the action gets too frenetic.
Penn works hard to make his guy believable. Even if his character is less then chivalrous (he grabs the only bullet-proof vest available when he and Annie are under fire) and can't but help stand out in a crowd (carrying a camo pattern backpack and wearing sniper shades in a large European city just might give it away you're a hunted mercenary).
And as it limps its way to that bullfighting ring, The Gunman becomes more and more aimless. While Penn's increasingly pained just-shoot-me expression might well induce some sympathy in those brave or foolhardy enough to stick this out to the end.
Cast: Sean Penn, Javier Bardem, Ray Winstone Mark Rylance, Idris Elba
Director: Pierre Morel
Rating: R16 (Graphic violence and offensive language)
Running time: 115 minutes
Verdict: Way off target

How to make it
Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Brown the ground beef along with the Lee Kum Kee Minced Ginger and Lee Kum Kee Minced Garlic in a skillet over medium-high heat, until beef is crumbled and cooked through. Drain any fat and return the pan to the stove.
In a small bowl, add the Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Premium Cooking Soy Sauce, brown sugar and Lee Kum Kee Hoisin Sauce and mix. Pour into ground beef mixture. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes to blend flavors. Set aside to cool.
Unfold then lay a sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured flat surface and roll out slightly to remove creases. Brush lightly with egg mixture. Sprinkle with half the sliced green onions then follow with half of the ground beef mixture. Roll tightly into a log. Freeze until firm but still sliceable, about 20 minutes.
Slice the log into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Resolution adopted at Zagreb Council, 15-17 May 2015
The full text can be downloaded in .pdf here.
Late on the night of April the 18th, more that 800 people died at Europe’s maritime borders, marking the deadliest drowning incident in the Mediterranean Sea since World War II. But the tragedy of deaths at sea has been going on for more than two decades, and has cost the life of no less than 30,000 people. This situation will not change unless the EU changes its ways. The ongoing conflicts, the increase of inequalities and exacerbated climate change effects in the neighboring regions of Africa and Asia, often aggravated by Western interests, are likely to create an even greater mass influx of displaced peoples.
Over the years, the EU and its Member States have consistently made it more difficult for migrants and refugees to enter into their territory, and have increasingly tried to seal off their external borders against irregular migration – doing so without providing any possibility for legal access. This policy has contributed to the nurturing of a criminal and dangerous business of human smuggling (worth at least 20 billion Euros per year), leading to the arrival of even more vessels. It disproportionately focused on repression, the protection of frontiers and the cynical use of deterrent effects of such tragedies, thus taking out precious resources from integration and social policies.
The “Fortress Europe” approach today appears to be particularly ineffective and cruel, when hundreds of thousands of people are being forced out of their homes by violence and war. National practices violating EU and international law, which often involve asylum seekers, such as on-the-spot deportations in the area of Melilla’s bordering fence must be brought to an end.
The disappointing results of the Special EU Council on the 23rd of April 2015 demonstrate that the priority of EU Member States remains to keep out as many people as possible except for those considered as being useful, and not to respond to the increasing loss of life and human suffering. This ignores the legitimate urge for people to find a safe place to live. Instead, the EU needs to create legal routes for migrants seeking to come to the EU to live and work: we therefore strongly oppose the militarization of the European approach towards refugees.
On the other hand, the proposals presented by the European Commission on May the 13th finally showed some will to use its power of initiative, and to address some very controversial issues like the redistribution and relocation of asylum seekers. It however falls dramatically short in terms of numbers, and does not give any indication of a policy on legal migration. It still concentrates too much on border controls, as demonstrated by the proposal of the Commission to extend the mandate of Frontex to return migrants.
Instead of Frontex, we need a European effort to rescue people, supported by all Member States and a completely different border regime, based on Human Rights.
The European Greens:
- Express their deep sorrow and solidarity with the victims and their families.
- Consider that it is time for the EU to face up to its responsibility and act in order to bring about a stop to the deaths at sea, and to consistently increase its role in helping refugees and migrants. The EU must find the resources necessary to develop a common action plan coherent with the values of solidarity and respect of human rights. Such an action plan should be based on five major axes:
- A EUROPEAN MARE NOSTRUM: The immediate establishment of a humanitarian European search and rescue operation, which, like Mare Nostrum, should also operate in international waters and be equipped with an appropriate budget in order to stop the deaths at sea. Such an operation should also include effective instruments to counter human trafficking. The tripling of the Triton budget decided by the EU Council is not enough, as it will not have the effect of diminishing casualties unless its resources, its scope and operational plan are changed.
- FULL USE OF THE EXISTING LEGAL INSTRUMENTS TO ENSURE SAFE AND LEGAL ACCESS. These include: The swift completion of negotiations on the Visa code, currently blocked at the Council; the granting of Humanitarian visas; the possibility to apply for [such] visas in countries of origin; the application of the 2001 temporary protection directive, notably to address the Syrian crisis; the immediate lifting of visa requirements for Syrian refugees; better funding and an easier implementation of measures like family reunification, private sponsorship programs, study and labour migration schemes. The European Greens oppose the proposal to set up European asylum centres in third countries, because of a complete lack of guarantee for the respect of rights of would-be refugees.
- A MORE AMBITIOUS RESETTLEMENT AND RELOCATION PROGRAMME. On April the 23rd 2015, the EU council agreed to resettle 5,000 refugees. On May the 13th, the Commission proposed to trigger art. 78(3) of the Treaty, a proposal for a temporary distribution scheme of refugees already in the EU territory (relocation), and to resettle 20,000 displaced persons. Even if this is an improvement in relation to the past, it remains a completely inadequate measure, considering that UNCHR asked for at least 130,000 resettlement places. It is urgent to put forward a substantial program for sharing the responsibility by relocating refugees from Italy, Greece or Malta to other member states. It is also necessary to put in place alternatives to the current Dublin regulation, to make the system more fair to both asylum seekers and Member States. This includes bringing forward proposals to allow for the mutual recognition of positive asylum decisions and the transfer of international protection status within the EU.
- CHANGE THE FOCUS OF TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT POLICIES AND STOP FINANCING AUTHORITARIAN REGIMES. The link between trade, agriculture, fisheries, and investment policies on one hand, and development and migration on the other hand, should be acknowledged and be at the center of the political agenda. One of the medium and long term policies of the EU should be the eradication of all the factors that cause people to flee their countries: unfair trade and development policies, support of non-democratic regimes, arms trade, climate change and so on. Instead of cutting development aid, there is an urgent need to increase it. EU policies must aim for sustainable living conditions also for youth and skilled people in African countries.
- REJECT MILITARIZATION OF MIGRATION POLICIES Reject the policy proposed by High Representative Mogherini and the Commission and supported by the European Council to pursue a military operation under the Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP) against smugglers in the Mediterranean including in Libyan waters and even on Libyan soil. We consider that to be a dangerous military adventure when what we need would be a search and rescue mission. Futhermore, this policy sends a disastrous signal to other parts of the world; one current example being the tragic incident near the South East Asian coast.


Back in June, British shoegaze legends Ride returned with their new album ‘Weather Diaries’.
A few months down the line they’re back with a track! ‘Pulsar’ kicks off with cosmic, spectral ambient synths before morphing into a fuzzy, guitar-led, melodic and propulsive number.
The band’s Loz Colbert said: “’Pulsar’ reimagines old organ samples, transmissions from space, effects, heavy beats and pulsing chords. The song title tips its head to the 60’s instrumental ’Telstar’ in name and theme; and the idea was to come up with some kind of ‘space anthem’ about light, existence, travel and return. The band all contributed to make the song what it is, and it all really came together in the studio when we worked with Erol Alkan once again, following on from the success of the ‘Weather Diaries’ sessions”.
From 7th November, Ride are also set to head out on a handful of dates across the UK. Tickets are on sale now.
Listen to ‘Pulsar’ and see Ride’s upcoming UK dates below.
07 London, O2 Forum Kentish Town
08 Birmingham, O2 Institute
09 Bristol, SWX
10 Leeds, Beckett Students Union
12 Liverpool, O2 Academy 1
13 Newcastle, Boiler Shop
14 Edinburgh, Queens Hall
16 Glagow, SSE Hydro (with Mogwai)
More like this
‘Streamed Live From London’ will take place on 6th August!
Tim Burgess is running weekday album listening parties with Liam Gallagher, Franz Ferdinand and more
The parties will be taking place every night at 10pm.
The band’s follow-up to 2017’s ‘Weather Diaries’ is out today (Friday 16th August).
The highlights are worth the entry fee alone.

These classic gluten-free sugar cookies are the BEST and easiest to make! They are vegan, sweetened with maple syrup, and are fun cut out cookies to enjoy plain or with icing! The perfect holiday cookie!
Why these gluten-free sugar cookies work
These easy sugar cookies are made with healthy ingredients and cater to most food allergies. They contain no gluten, no dairy, and no egg, and are made with coconut oil and natural sugar – perfect for anyone with Celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity.
Vegan gf sugar cookies are great for children to make because they can eat the edible cookie dough! Since they are egg-free, there is no worries about your little ones eating the raw cookie dough! I don’t know about you, but my children and I adore making vegan cookies because everyone can take nibbles of the dough without worrying about harmful bacteria from uncooked eggs. These gluten-free sugar cookies, along with this edible cookie dough recipe, are great for those memorable moments eating cookie dough batter together 😊.
Classic for the holidays! Make this cookie recipe with or without royal icing. This recipe includes a fantastic royal icing recipe used on my yogurt gluten-free cut out cookies, only without food coloring.
These gluten-free cookies are a great dessert to make for a cookie exchange or holiday party! Check out an example of a cookie party for kids here using this exact recipe. Just make them into your favorite fun holiday shapes!
What ingredients go into these cookies
- maple syrup
- vanilla extract
- coconut oil melted
- gluten-free flour
- tapioca flour
- baking powder
- Himalayan salt
- Icing and decorations (not shown)
How to make these sugar cookies from scratch
First measure the coconut oil in a 1 cup measuring cup (learn about measuring butter and coconut oil melted in ounces and cups here), then put it in a microwave safe glass bowl to melt. Melt the coconut oil and whisk it together with the maple syrup and vanilla. Then add the gluten-free flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, and salt and mix to form a dough. The tapioca flour helps to bind the cookies and the coconut oil gives these gluten-free sugar cookies a buttery taste. If the coconut oil is too warm, chill the dough wrapped in plastic for 15-30 minutes until it hardens slightly and is able to roll out.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to form about ¼ inch thick. Cut the dough into fun shapes and transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes until set and let cool about 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
If adding icing, let these gluten-free sugar cookies cool completely before icing and decorating. To make the icing, in a small bowl whisk together the confectioners sugar, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of milk. If it is still to hard to mix, add up to 1 more tablespoon of milk. Transfer the icing to a sealable bag and with scissors, snip one of the corners to make a very small hole. Squeeze out the icing and add sprinkles for decorating. Let the icing set for about 20 minutes to harden.
Ways to use this recipe
- Dip half of a gluten-free sugar cookie in melted chocolate and sprinkle with pyramid salt.
- Turn the sugar cookie wafers into peanut butter sandwiches! Mix peanut butter with a drop of honey and spread in-between two cookies.
- Decorate the sugar cookies with royal icing.
- Add caramel in the center of two cookies then dip in melted white or milk chocolate and turn them into a chocolate covered caramel cookie!
What if my gluten-free cookie dough is dry?
If the dough is dry, which can depend on what type of gluten-free flour mix/blend is used, add 1 tablespoon at a time of water. The dough should be more on the soft and moist side from the melted coconut oil. Chill slightly if needed to roll out without sticking. Chilling helps the coconut oil to harden slightly making the dough able to form into cut out shapes.
What is the best gluten-free flour to use in cookies?
I suggest using Bob’s Red Mil 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Flour Mix or Arrowhead Mills Gluten-Free Flour. It works best with the ratio of these ingredients. Often times, using a gluten-free mix that has a combination of quinoa flour, sorghum flour and flax meal lends a softer dough that becomes too liquid and not tough enough to roll out. Also make sure your gluten-free flour has xanthan gum in it which helps gluten-free cookies bind. If it does not have it, then add 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum to the recipe.
Are these gluten-free sugar cookies soft or crispy?
Baking these gluten-free cookies 8 minutes lends a fluffier and softer cookie, and baking them for 10 minutes makes them more crispy.
Storing gluten-free cookies
Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. They are best enjoyed within 1-3 days.

Study Landscape Design, Landscape Design Schools
Here you can find schools to study Landscape Design. Choose where you would like to study Landscape Design:ArgentinaCanadaGermanyIndiaItalyKenyaPhilippinesSpainThe United StatesTurkey
Landscape Design, which is mostly mistaken for landscape architecture because of the similarity of functions, is basically involved in producing aesthetically pleasing landscapes. Landscape designers, as opposed to landscape architects, are more concerned with artistic considerations whereas landscape architects have to consider aspects such as structural engineering. Those designating themselves as landscape designers do not need a license to practice their profession unlike landscape architects who are required to get a license. There are places, though, that are not strict with landscape contractors as long as they don’t use the title “landscape architects.” Not to be confused, landscape architects are also practitioners of landscape design. It just so happens that a lot of garden landscape artists called themselves landscape designers during the time when sophisticated-sounding job titles became a fad. Because of the proliferation of garden landscapists, the term landscape design became synonymous with landscape architects who also do projects like garden landscaping.
Landscape design takes into account soils, drainage, climate and other things that may contribute to survival of plants. Plants are essential elements in landscape design as they contribute significant effects to the overall landscape. Consider the high palm trees lined along the streets in posh Beverly Hills. Usually, movies with location shooting in Beverly Hills would usually show the palm trees and then the shops along Rodeo Drive. This is because the palm trees give Beverly Hills the posh feel that people came to regard it now. The palm trees were such a hit that developers of first-class residential areas use palm trees now to give it that distinct first-class ambiance. Aside for aesthetic purposes, some plants are also used because of their special functions. The Eucalyptus tree’s ability to ward off insects and the Indian tree’s fence-like and shading attributes, landscape artists tend to favor selecting them on projects.
Another major factor in the success of a landscape designer is the effective mixing and matching of colors. Since landscape designers view everything as one big picture, aside from the colors plants provide, the paint of a structure that is part of a landscape are also given much attention. Knowing what colors go with what colors is a must for landscape designers. Color schemes can give the tone of a place. Places with black and white motif usually give a classy look to it, butter yellow painted places usually have a sunny feel to them and brown tones usually give a country flavor.
Another thing that may set a landscape designer apart from the rest is how he conceptualizes a particular landscape. What the focus or foci should be? If a symmetrical or asymmetrical design is more apt for a particular site? Choosing a central piece or focus is very important. The focus is the main attraction of a landscape so a choice of what will be the focus could be the most important decision a landscape designer would have to take. Usual points of focus are fountains, statues, monuments, big plants or sculpture pieces. For indoors, a good focus piece is a grand chandelier, works of art or even a simple antique furniture.

[fpc-pascal] Implementing AggPas with PtcGraph
james at productionautomation.net
Tue Jun 20 12:17:50 CEST 2017
>I have applied such a change. So far only to the Agg2D and agg_2D units, but I'll do the same to the rest of the units shortly.
That will be a great help. Might I suggest mentioning the existence and use of Agg2D in agg_2D and vice versa? Something like:
This unit has NO graphical toolkit dependencies, so is ideal for console or web based (server side) projects. For the graphical full toolkit version, see Agg2D.pas
If you do not need to graphical toolkit (for example for console or web based projects, this dependency can be avoided by using agg_2D.pas
Something to that effect. My reasoning of mentioning each in the other is because the names are so similar, yet it's difficult to know the other exists because agg2D is all the way at the bottom of all the agg_ units, while agg_2D is at the top of them all. Mentioning the other unit and it's use may help clarify things.
I also think you have made enough changes to it to warrant version number changes.
>I'm also strongly considering renaming the "render/software/" directory to "render/aggpas/". I'll mull this over for another day or two.
I like the proposed directory name. I wonder if it really needs 2 directories, why not just render-aggpas/ or aggpas-render/ ?
>That is a fundamental bug in AggPas, and something I'll be fixing immediately in fpGUI's repository. As for the affects on other code and programs.
>I'll do some testing to see what exact affect it has, and then add some notes in the CHANGELOG document describing code-breaking changes and recommended fixes.
Since there are going to be changes that require adjustments anyway, I wonder if it would make sense to just make agg_2D always require the pixel format in the constructor:
It seems the original intention of aggpas was to have this flexibility but somewhere along the way things like rgba ended up getting hard coded into it.
>I have always been in the mind that fundamental code and API's should be 100% correct, and fixed promptly when a bug is found. Applications that are affected
>by such changes need to be updated - that's the bottom line. No point in continue maintaining buggy code and API's and guaranteed that things will just get worse
>in the future - if not immediately fixed.
I agree with you, and if the changes for common issues are well documented then it seems to be the best solution. I was trying to think of a way to adjust the unit and maintain backward compatibility, but it just ends up making a mess of everything. Better off to just fix it then fix any programs as needed instead of having an even bigger and more confusing mess that no one will remember why it's like that in 5 years.

Genetic variation in cue sensitivity involved in avian timing of reproduction
Visser, Marcel E.; Schaper, Sonja V.; Holleman, Leonard J.M.; Dawson, Alistair; Sharp, Peter; Gienapp, Phillip; Caro, Samuel P.. 2011 Genetic variation in cue sensitivity involved in avian timing of reproduction. Functional Ecology, 25 (4). 868-877. 10.1111/j.1365-2435.2011.01844.xFull text not available from this repository.
1. Annual variation in the timing of avian reproduction is associated with predictive cues related to ambient temperature. Understanding how these cues affect timing, and estimating the genetic variation in sensitivity to these cues, is essential to predict the micro-evolutionary changes in timing which are needed to adapt to climate change. 2. We carried out a 2-year experiment with great tits Parus major of known genetic background, which were kept in pairs in climate-controlled aviaries with simulated natural photoperiod and exposed to a seasonal change in temperature, where the two treatments differed by 4 C. We recorded the dates of laying the first and last eggs and timing of moult, as well as physiological proxies associated with reproduction: plasma luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin, and gonadal size at four-weekly intervals. 3. The temperature treatments did not affect first-egg dates, nor gonadal growth or plasma LH and prolactin concentrations. However, birds terminated egg laying, regressed their testes and started their moult earlier at higher temperatures. 4. There were marked family differences in both the start of egg laying, with sisters from early laying maternal families laying early, and in the termination of laying, indicating that there is heritable variation in sensitivity to cues involved in timing. 5. Our experiment, the first to use genetically related individuals in an experimental design with a natural change in photoperiod and biologically realistic temperature differences, thus shows that genetic adaptation in cue sensitivity is possible, essential for species to be able to adapt to a warming world.

I bought a black frame/blued slide P3AT today. Got a great deal, too. $249.99 + tax and they sold me two boxes of Blazer Brass FMJ for $18.95. Took it home, did a little F&B, swabbed the bore, oiled the slides and shot 12 rounds through it. Plenty accurate at 10 feet. Recoil is no worse than the P11 but, the trigger guard slaps my trigger finger pretty hard. Is that normal? Pretty uncomfortable, actually. I don't plan on using it for a range toy so I won't shoot it a lot after it gets broken in. Is there something that can be done to make it more fun to shoot? I am thinking a magazine extension would allow two fingers on the handle to help keep the gun from jumping up from recoil and into my index finger.
Other than that little annoyance I really like this gun. I like my P11 too. It is great for CC in a IWB with a coat on. For summer carry I wanted a pocket gun and the P3AT seems ideal. I am going to order a pocket clip and a Desantis Superfly holster. From reading KTOG I think I will be happy with those carry options.


Overall the WAI Web site was received well by the study participants. They described the W3C as "essential" to their Web development work and stated that they considered the W3C to be "THE authority" for Web development concerns. Participants uniformly stated that they currently used and would continue to use the WAI Web site in their professional work.
However, despite their enthusiasm for the W3C and the importance of Web accessibility information to their Web site use, we observed the majority of Web site users struggling to match the Web site's cognitive model with their own, struggling to interpret nomenclature, to locate information, to find information a second time, and most importantly, we observed them experiencing navigational difficulties that appeared to have a significant impact on their ability to harness the Web site's capabilities.
Fortunately, many of the nomenclature, navigation, visual design, and cognitive model difficulties we observed the study participants encountering may be easily addressed. In the report that follows, we describe our observations, the participants' successes, and their challenges.
Usability Test Task Results
At the core of participants' explorations of the WAI Web site were a series of "typical" tasks that Web developers were likely to attempt while using the WAI Web site. These tasks were intended to represent key Web site functions and features, and to facilitate participants' exploration of a range of WAI Web site information mechanisms.
Participants were largely unable to complete these tasks. With the exception of the WAI mission task, no more than 5 of 8 participants were able to complete any task without assistance from the test administrator.
While participants often struggled with the navigation and information architecture throughout the Web site, their problems were more frequent and prohibitive for tasks involving the guidelines, checklists and techniques sections (tasks 6 and 7). The table below details the task success rates and subjective ratings for each of the tasks.
|Task||Task Description||% completed||% completed w/ assistance||% failed||% who rated task as "easy"|
Finding 1: Participants uniformly stated that the Web site was "overwhelming" and that using it was "like walking into a fire hose."
Perhaps the most significant finding of the WAI Web site usability test was the observation that the Web site users consistently stated that they were overwhelmed by the information available to them. They stated that the WAI developers "hadn't parsed" the information for users, hadn't provided adequate "information and technique summaries" and asserted that using the WAI Web site was like "walking into a fire-hose."
They repeatedly suggested that the information they were receiving could be "summarized" into "manageable chunks" for easy, or quick use.
Participants uniformly stated that the WAI Web site information that was most relevant to their work was always "hidden." They described the process of using "a W3C site" as: "you go to the page, scroll down, scroll down, scroll down, about four or five screens, past all the useless stuff, and then you get to the good stuff. Which is great. But it's always in the middle part of a really, really, really long page."
Finding 2: Participants expected the Web site to be organized in a manner that supported task-based information seeking.
During the usability test we observed a clear discrepancy between the participants' Web development needs and the manner in which information was organized on the WAI Web site. Participants uniformly stated that their primary reason for coming to the WAI Web site was to locate specific, task-based information about Web coding techniques.
The current WAI Web site's information architecture put tactical techniques three or four levels, and in some cases, documents, "deep" within the Web site. Compounding this disparity, WAI techniques on a given topic were often dispersed across several document sub-sections, making it exceedingly difficult for participants to 1) locate specific techniques, and 2) ascertain whether or not additional related techniques existed on the WAI Web site.
For example: when we asked participants to use the WAI Web site to locate information about making online forms accessible, they stated that this task represented "exactly the type of question" that they would visit the WAI Web site to answer. (A few of the participants had, in the past, visited the WAI Web site for this purpose.) With a task in hand that was highly-reflective of their Web development needs, participants "dove in" to the WAI Web site with enthusiasm. They stated that they expected to be able to easily locate a single, authoritative, techniques-based set of information pertaining to making online forms accessible, in part because "this is a huge topic and very important." As they searched they envisioned a "Frequently Asked Questions-like format that would provide a simple, detailed answer to the question: 'How do I make online forms accessible?'"
In practice, the WAI Web site provided no unified source of form-related accessibility techniques, and the techniques themselves were a sub- sub-set of the WAI guidelines documents. The manner in which this information is presented on the WAI Web site simply didn't match the participants' expectation of how this information should be organized, or how easily it should be able to be located. We observed this discrepancy having a significant effect on participants' ability to locate practical information on the WAI Web site. In the words of one participant: "What should be on the top is on the bottom, and what should be on the bottom is on the top."
Finding 3: The distinction between, and the relationship among, guidelines, checkpoints, checklists and techniques were universally unclear to the participants.
We observed participants struggling to learn the "WAI vocabulary" in order to understand how to interpret the information they encountered on the Web site. It appeared to be crucial to their success with the Web site that they first understand the distinction between guidelines, checkpoints, checklists, and techniques. Few participants achieved that level of understanding, and nearly every participant made mention of the Web site's ability to communicate this information as "insufficient." This method of organizing the information struck participants as "all about WAI and not about the information." Other participants noted that this distinction was "confusing" and "arcane."
Finding 4: Participants' ability to locate task-specific information was significantly hindered by the "front matter" at the start (and close) of the guidelines documents, the checklist, and techniques documents.
Participants consistently expressed negative reactions to the organization of WAI's Web-based documents. In particular we observed that the initial sections of WAI guidelines, techniques, and checklist documents, (typically featuring the document's development status and history), were a significant barrier to participants' ability to identify the relevance of the document, comprehend its content, and to navigate within the document.
Participants uniformly stated that whenever they attempted to read a WAI document, they had to first, in one participant's words: "scroll past a ton of irrelevant information about who wrote the document, why, when it was written, and when it was modified." Participants stated that they believed this information "must be of value to someone" but that it "interfered" with their ability to locate "the important information."
They uniformly suggested that the WAI development team consider ways to parse the Web site's information rather than giving it to them "all at once."
Suggestions were made to consolidate guideline document meta information (it's draft history) and place it behind a single link, to consolidate technique information around common topics (such as "making online forms accessible"), and consolidating the guidelines themselves to provide the most specific, tactical information "up front" and reserve the detailed discussion for secondary pages. The material found at the bottom or end of documents received similar unfavorable responses. Said one participant: "last updated- and all this dollar business [dollar signs], that's not really helpful."
Finding 5: Participants stated that the WAI Web site lacked both "Getting Started" overviews and specific coding techniques
The usability test participants stated that they primarily expected (and needed) two types of content from the WAI Web site: 1) a "Getting Started-style" overview of Web accessibility and 2) "practical coding tips and tricks for creating accessible Web sites." They felt that the inclusion of Getting Started information would help orient them to the issues involved in Web accessibility and that detailed introductions for, and examples of, implementation techniques would support their ability to implement "good Web accessibility."
As for what fell "in between" these two specificity extremes, participants stated that such information might be something they would read when they "found time," but that it "wasn't their focus." As it stands, a significant portion of the information present on the WAI Web site appeared to our moderators to fall into this "middle" area: neither general enough to provide a thorough overview of the issues pertinent to Web accessibility (largely because "getting started" resources proved difficult to locate), nor specific enough to be useful to the participants, largely because they had significant difficulty locating information about specific techniques.
Finding 6: Participants stated that the WAI Web site was "essential"
It is worth noting that, while participants experienced significant difficulties navigating the WAI Web site, and significant difficulty locating the technique information they prized most, they uniformly stated that the WAI Web site contained "helpful and essential" information, and that they greatly "appreciated" its content. Their negative comments about the WAI Web site largely centered on its overall complexity and lack of information architecture and visual style consistencies. While they stated that they would like a "simpler, more efficient" Web site, they uniformly valued WAI's information and linked it directly with their ability to meet professional Web development demands.

Tallahassee in Leon County, Florida — The American South (South Atlantic)
Missionaries sent by the South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church held services for the Centreville community settlers at this site in the early 1820's. John Slade, known as the "Father of Methodism in Florida," organized the "Society" at Pisgah on May 3, 1830, with thirty-four charter members. During the Ante-Bellum period, Pisgah became one of the leading churches in Middle Florida. Charter members Jacob Felkel and his wife Rose Anne deeded seven acres to the church's trustees on December 12, 1858, for $125.00. Under the leadership of presiding elder Simon Peter Richardson and the pastor, Robert Hudson Howren, the present building was erected at that time at a cost of $5,200. (Continued on Reverse Side)
Pisgah is one of the oldest remaining church structures in Florida. Architecturally significant, it is representative of early church design. Special features include hand-hewn box pews and galleries lighted by clerestory windows. The new sanctuary was dedicated on May 1, 1859, by the Reverend Richardson, who returned in 1863 to serve as pastor. While at Pisgah he was elected Captain of the Centreville "Old Guard" the local home defense unit. Pisgah has served as a cultural

Bing Crosby and Al Rinker had been together in a Jazz band in Spokane, Washington while in college. The band was so popular that the two dropped out of college and drove Rinker's Model T to Los Angeles where Rinker's sister, Mildred Bailey, who was a Jazz singer was working. Shortly after their arrival in Los Angeles they landed a gig on the vaudeville circuit, as a vocal act. Some members of Paul Whiteman's Orchestra, caught their act and recommended them to Whiteman who hired them in October of 1926.

Bernhard's work can seem off-putting on first acquaintance, as he suffers no fools and offers no hand to assist the unwary reader. But those who make the effort to engage with Bernhard on his own uncompromising terms will discover a writer with powerful comic gifts, penetrating insight into the failings and delusions of modern life, and an unstinting desire to tell the whole, unvarnished, unwelcome truth. Start here, readers; the rewards are great.

Dimensions: 203 x 127 x 15 mm
"The traditional short story, however, comes with certain structural demands -- plot, economy, narrative tension, an epiphany -- that seem incompatible with Bernhard's torrents of vituperation. And yet he did write short stories, or at least short prose pieces, four of which have been collected in Goethe Dies. . . . What Bernhard serves up is very funny, but not at all in the way you imagined. Goethe is as compulsive and solipsistic as every other Bernhard hero and he spends the entire story obsessing over his place in German literature and Wittgenstein's superiority."--Los Angeles Review of Books
"The stories in Goethe Dies will satisfy our current craving for introductions to otherwise longwinded writers that are brief, characteristic, and to the point."--Hudson Review
"Written in 1982 forthe literary supplement of Die Zeit on the 150th anniversary of the death of the most famous German writer of them all, 'Goethe Dies' is the title story in a clutch of four newly translated pieces. . . . An attractively produced little book."--Times Literary Supplement

Join us to learn about a significant project that is proposed to widen the Industrial Canal. Filmmakers and members of the organization CAWIC will be screening the documentary Locked, followed by a Q&A. Topics that will be discussed include the history of the Army Corps’ Lock Replacement project, the decades of action that community residents have taken to stop the project, updates on the status on the project and next steps. Please join us.
Local Urban Ecologist Dr. Josh Lewis tells the hundred year history of the Industrial Canal and Lock that dissects the infamous 9th Ward in New Orleans. He describes the wide reaching effects of how we do water transportation in Louisiana and describes how irresponsible urban planning that ignores ecology has lead to repeated catastrophic flooding in the region since 1927.
This history seeks to educate and mobilize the local community and the country around the intersection of industry, ecology, climate change and politics.
Citizens Against Widening the Industrial Canal is a community-based non-profit dedicated to preventing construction of the US Army Corps of Engineers proposal to expand the channel and build a new lock. Its members have worked against the project for 25 years because of the significant negative impact on the City of New Orleans, its people, and surrounding environment.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Monday that he wasn’t making excuses when he told SiriusXM NFL Radio that the team was relying more on younger players and didn’t have the same depth as past years because of the salary cap.
In his weekly radio interview on WEEI in Boston, Belichick expounded on his remarks, saying the current situation is a result of how the Patriots approached the previous five seasons.
“We sold out and won three Super Bowls, played in a fourth, and played in an AFC Championship Game. This year we have less to work with. It’s not an excuse. It’s just the facts,” Belichick said.
Belichick’s Patriots (2-5) are in the midst of their first four-game losing streak since 2002 and visit the winless New York Jets on ESPN’s Monday Night Football on Nov. 9.
He seemed to take offense Monday when told some might have viewed his remarks to SiriusXM NFL Radio, in an interview with his former offensive coordinator, Charlie Weis, as an excuse.
“I didn’t say it as an excuse. I never said that,” Belichick said. “Look, we paid Cam Newton a million dollars [on July 8]. It’s obvious we didn’t have any money. It’s nobody’s fault. That’s what we did the last five years.”
The Patriots had been tight to the salary cap for most of the offseason, in part because they were carrying about $26 million in dead space for players no longer on the roster, a group that includes quarterback Tom Brady, receiver Antonio Brown and kicker Stephen Gostkowski.
They later gained significant space when eight players, led by linebacker Dont’a Hightower, opted out of the 2020 season.
When told it seemed unusual that he was providing a big-picture assessment of the roster in the middle of the season, Belichick said in his Monday radio interview: “It’s pretty obvious. It was an honest answer to an honest question. No more, no less than that. I’m sure you can read a lot into it if you want to. That wasn’t the intent.”

Just thought I would try and get some input on a problem i have at the moment:
(Most) of our printers and older switches (Ones that I didn't install) are currently on an IP range of 192.168.x.xxx ranging from 100 to 300 and a subnet of 255.255.252.0
Now I don't think this is correct. Firstly that subnet is not valid for that IP address range and I have also noticed some very strange things starting to happen now that I have turned STP (Kids know that broadcast storms break networks without it turned on now).
Firstly our STP new managed switches are on our 'normal' IP range of
172.xx.xx.xxx and a subnet of 255.255.252.0. I have set allocations for these in DHCP and from there I can see what devices has what IP. I have also noticed that the devices are quicker than he ones on the private subnet both in terms of say printing or loading up web interfaces in IE for management.
I have run ethereal to see what the switches are doing in the way STP path resolution and there seems to be a couple of seconds if not more in terms of latency in resolution of private devices. Sometimes i also see complete failure in communication with the device VIA web interface.
To my way of seeing it we don't actually have anywhere to see what device has what IP address. I have tried to explain that putting them on the same IP Address range and subnet will boost performance of these devices but I don't seem to be getting anywhere except 'It was installed by RM that way'
Anyone got any thoughts/How you do it (All comments appreciated, Even if you are CC3 OR Vanilla) on this as I don't want to keep pushing it if I am not accurate, After all the people I am challenging on this could be right, And knowing my luck me be wrong.

Batman v Superman fans hoping to see some really exciting footage from the eagerly-awaited film at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con in July could be left feeling somewhat disappointed.
Earlier rumours suggested Warner Bros would release the film's first teaser during the event, but a later report suggests otherwise.
An early glimpse at the Warner Bros Hall H panels at Comic-Con on Saturday July 26 has been revealed and it does not feature Batman v Superman, reports Slash Film.
Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road and the Wachowskis' Jupiter Ascending will feature, but there is no mention of Batman v Superman or anything DC Comics related. Does it mean fans hoping to catch the first look of the upcoming superhero movie will be disappointed? Or is there a big surprise planned?
Last year, during the 2013 Comic-Con, Warner Bros made the biggest, most awesome announcement of the event - that their Man of Steel sequel would feature Batman.
It may be that the studio is looking to repeat that excitement by keeping news of any teaser clips from Batman v Superman a surprise.
Just because it's not part of the Warner Bros panel just yet doesn't mean it won't be. The film has been shooting for a few weeks now and there will definitely be some footage that can be shown if they choose to.
Previous reports have also revealed that the studio plans to announce the line-up of their superhero films for the next four years at Comic-Con.

Headline: City TLDs To Recenter Internet in Communities
Nutshell: In 2010 the ICANN will allow city TLDs (top level domains) for the first time, allowing cities to develop their traditional proximity roles for the digital era.Vision:
Cities have traditionally been places where ideas mingled and emerged in new forms. This proximity role has been challenged by the Internet’s global reach. In my home town, people have .com, .org, .net and dozens of other TLDs housing their ideas and activities. We’ve become dependent on search engines to try and find our neighbors.
For big cities served by regional communication channels, local issues traditionally are met only at the point of tragedy. In my "community district," with a population of 200,000 community, not one TV, radio, or daily newspaper serves our specific needs. Our .nyc TLD offers a new start, a clean sheet upon which we can plan our civic architecture for the digital era.

The title of this post relates to a (probably apocryphal) story from Northern Ireland in which a group of lads stop a man who’s walking down the street and ask him in a threatening way, “are you a Protestant or a Catholic?”
The man responds by pointing out that he’s actually from Iran and is a Muslim.
“That’s all very well,” replies one of the youths, “but are you a Protestant Muslim or a Catholic Muslim?”
In Northern Ireland the terms “Protestant” and “Catholic” are used as markers of fixed political and tribal identity (inaccurate though they are). This is something the joke plays on to show how we can assume that our concrete local issues are universal.
This can also be seen in the story of an Indian coming to Belfast to visit friends. While in a bar one night she strikes up a conversation with a local who asks her where she’s from.
“I’m from Delhi,” replies the woman
In response the local leans over and whispers in her ear,
“Watch yourself, round here we call it Londondelhi”
The joke plays on the fact that there’s a city in Northern Ireland that is either called “Derry” or “Londonderry” depending upon your political stance. One of the ways people work out whether you’re a friend or enemy is to find out which you call it.
Each of the above stories remind us how easy it is to think that the political situation we’re dealing with is one that the rest of the world is involved with. Or that the political terms that make sense in our context map onto other contexts in a straightforward way.
While it’s true that the underlying dynamics and antagonisms in different political situations are similar (scapegoating, oppressors, oppressed, structural injustice, economic problems etc.) the actual way these play out depends on a rich matrix of historical factors unique to a given situation.
When people from outside Northern Ireland speak into the situation the results are often embarrassing at best and damaging at worst. It generally takes people who’ve grown up in a given society, who know the context and who’ve a respect borne from growing up there to make real and lasting change happen.
People from other contexts do remain important, not least because they can help widen our horizon a little and gain new perspectives. Not so much through their conceptual frames (which act as Procrustean beds upon which the given situation is cut or stretched), but through learning about their situations.
As an alien to a foreign country I’ve occasionally had the surreal experience of being treated like the Iranian in Belfast. While I’m keen to learn the political situation in the US, my political interests remain tied to the complex and difficult situation back home.


In Zimbabwe, elephants started dropping dead, no-one knew why. This has now been solved, but were not any nearer to ending the problem, and now its spreading.
It is unfortunately a fact, that in the majority of instances, sudden deaths from an unknown illness are impossible to prevent until we know more.
In total, 300 died in Botswana with another 35 dying in Zimbabwe just 2 months later. 50 more elephants have died since in Botswana.
It turns out that these animals have fallen as a result of an obscure bacteria, and scientists are concerned that it could spread to other species.
Should something similar happen amongst, say the lions of an area, we could quickly see all the lions die.
It took 3 years but a wildlife veterinarian at the Victoria Falls wildlife trust has worked out what happened. Although initially thinking it was anthrax, it was spreading in a strange way, and killing to many animals.
It turns out that a bacteria called Pasteurella Bisgaard taxon 45 was responsible. It is relatively rare, and had not been known to kill elephants. Unfortunately, in previous heatwaves, similar issues have been known to jump the species barrier and kill large numbers of antelope – particular during a heat wave. This bacteria caused blood poisoning, and mostly killed recently weaned young, which are generally weaker anyway.
It is unfortunate that outbreaks like this are so easily linked to high temperatures, as our behaviour means that these high temperatures occur more often – so deaths like this may become a way of life. Given the slow rate of reproduction in elephants, this could threaten populations if not dealt with rapidly.
The same bacteria is thought to have been responsible for 200,000 saiga antelope dying on the steppe of Kazakhstan in 2015.
Oddly, this bacteria is thought to live happily in the mouths of a variety of animals from elephants and antelope, to lions tigers and even chipmunks. If all it takes for this bacteria to become deadly is an increase in temperature, we have a hard task ahead of us.
