Last week's ambush and murder of a campus police officer at Virginia Tech naturally evokes memories of the horrific massacre at Virginia Tech four and a half years ago. Another shocking killing -- one that happened in 1840 -- sheds further light on how to understand campus shootings.
For several years at the University of Virginia, students had an annual tradition of raising hell around campus, burning tar barrels and shooting pistols into the air. The rioters wanted the freedom to carry arms on campus and each year marked the anniversary when restrictions were put into place that resulted in some defiant students being expelled. On November 12, 1840, the dean of the faculty, law professor John Davis, heard gunfire and stepped onto the porch of his pavilion, one of the on-campus residences of the UVA professors. Discovering a masked student, Davis pursued, tried unmasking him, then gave up. As he turned to walk home, he was shot. After two days during which doctors tried and failed to remove the bullet, Davis died, survived by his wife and seven children.
Even without a trial, the historical record provides some insights into the shooter's motive and into the general ethos that led to the tragedy. There did not appear to be any particular animus on the part of Semmes against Davis. On the night of the shooting Semmes told a classmate that he would shoot any professor who tried to interfere with their rioting. It is worth remembering not only that many of the students at UVA at this time came from wealthy slaveholding families, but also that they were served at the university by slaves, who were subject to abuse and violence at the hands of the students. We can detect an era in which student populations found it distasteful to submit themselves to any authority. Edgar Allan Poe, an earlier UVA student, once complained in a letter that his stepfather spoke to him as if Poe were one of the black slaves; some of the students at UVA surely felt the same about being told what to do by faculty. Accustomed to using violence to handle their own servants, many of the well-armed young adults were one provocation away from turning violent against their professors. In one instance when UVA students were beating a slave and a professor tried to intervene, he was physically restrained because, as one of the students said, "any man who would protect a negro... is no better than a negro himself."
Today, latent forms of violence seep into the youth culture less directly than the brute violence that came with slavery -- first person "shooter" video games, for example, have allowed easy simulations of desensitized killing. But most powerful, perhaps, have been the examples of other shootings and the consumption of details made available through the media coverage. After Joseph Semmes vanished from the public, the story of the assassination of his professor mostly vanished, too. After all, it was not in the interest of the university nor the students to dwell on what had happened. The intense media coverage of today's campus shootings presents a double edged sword. On the one hand, it gives us a chance to think about and reflect on the causes; on the other hand, in a very small minority of unstable minds the repeated telling of the stories can be interpreted as glamorous. We do not yet know what factors drove the latest Virginia shooter, 22-year-old Ross Ashley, to murder. But Seung-Hui Cho, who terrorized Virginia Tech in 2007 and killed 32 people, was reportedly obsessed by the Columbine massacre in 1999 and aspired to "repeat" it. Likewise, when Ashley fired his weapon and sent the campus into chaos, members of the community understandably reported thinking, "not again!"
Not again: both a lament and a rallying cry repeated long before our own time.

5 Ways to Prepare Your HVAC Unit For The Fall
The cold weather is here! Do you know what it means for your HVAC system? It means you need to get it ready for a major changeover from cooling to heating since we are inching closer to the cold months.
Ensuring the performance of your system and your indoor comfort for the new season will require adequate preparation. Here are the five clever ways to prepare your commercial HVAC near Granbury, TX for the fall:
Clean Your Outdoor Unit
The debris that surrounds your outdoor HVAC system can potentially obstruct the airflow. It can also find its way inside your unit while it operates and eventually builds up on the coils. Make sure to check and remove them immediately. Using the garden hose, rinse out the dirt and other debris that have accumulated in your unit.
Seal the Air Leaks
Air leaks can also be the reason for the increased energy wastage. Try to walk around your house to spot air leakages. Using the weather-stripping and caulk, you can seal the air leakages around your doors and windows.
For leaky ductwork, you can use aluminum or mastic tape to patch up the damaged area.
Replace Your Air Filters
You can encounter various unpleasant HVAC issues for having dirty A/C and furnace filters, and one of those is inefficient heating and cooling. Before you give your unit its winter break, make sure to replace the filters.
And during the cold months, remember to stay on top of the furnace filter changes so your system can run efficiently while freeing your home from harmful contaminants.
Consider Buying a New Unit
You should know that the start of the fall is the best time to buy new units because you are more likely to get greater value from the investment. Units that are ten years or older will frequently require repair, or they may lose the ability to keep up with your comfort demands. If you want more efficient cooling and heating, investing in a new HVAC replacement in Granbury, TX is a wise choice.
Sign Up for Fall HVAC Maintenance
Signing up for HVAC maintenance can ideally prepare your unit for the fall. Regular maintenance can save you from surprise system breakdown, get your unit running efficiently, and save your pocket from costly commercial heating repair in Granbury, TX.
Simple jobs like cleaning can be done using DIY methods, but complex damages might require professional attention. This is where fall HVAC maintenance can come into play.
We’ve Got You Covered, Share Us Your HVAC Concerns
As a homeowner, what would you like to do for your HVAC system before the summer ends? Do you want to sign up for routine maintenance or just want to have an inspection to ensure its vital parts are properly working?

August 2008, By Bill Trüb, businessfacilities.com
E-cities. Cyber communities. Broadband economies. Byte by byte, digital infrastructures are being built all around us, and visions of the future are becoming reality.
In our tech-hungry, forward-reaching business world, the days of dial-up Internet connections are tucked away in a file folder labeled "Outdated." The most progressive cities around the world are slinging webs of fiber optic wires throughout their communities, building networks of information highways, and growing their digital infrastructures. Fiber optic wire, made of pure, light-transmitting glass, is the Internet and telecommunication industry’s standard-bearer, allowing the speed and synchronicity necessary for many businesses to operate at top capacity. It is thinner, lighter, and cheaper than traditional copper wire, and has a higher capacity for passing digital information. Whether uploading and downloading data or administering conference calls with full audio and video capability, the need for quick and reliable broadband connectivity has become a paramount corporate concern-and fiber optic cables are the solution of choice.

Now the marijuana advocates in Florida are saying they should have done what worked in other states: trot out sick people and exploit them for public sympathy; find the rogue former law enforcement official who will publicly say marijuana legalization is a really great ideal; write vague and complicated ballot questions that the people won’t actually understand;

Companies of Bumble Inc, who owns the a relationship software exactly where ladies improve primary shift, soared upwards 67% with the trading first appearance to $72 at 1:03 pm in New York, valuing ceo Whitney Wolfe Herd’s bet at $1.5 billion.
A business enterprise providing to people and encouraged by ladies makes their 31-year-old female founder a billionaire.
Companies of Bumble Inc, who owns the dating software in which females improve 1st shift, leaped 67per cent in trading debut to $72 at 1:03 pm in nyc, valuing Chief Executive Officer Whitney Wolfe Herd’s venture at $1.5 billion.
The posting hats a saga which is both inspiration and preventive history for women tech proprietors. Wolfe crowd capitalized on an underserved sector and made a multibillion-dollar business that was in this way produced from a single really vexing barriers to girls enterprise: erotic harassment.
- Experiencing charge, CoWin portal accidents, begin employed after bug decided
- SII President Adar Poonawalla to find ‘Y’ niche protection
- EC renders adverse Covid document required for getting into depending centers may 2
“Hopefully this tends to become an unusual subject,” Wolfe Herd stated saturday in a job interview with Bloomberg tv, speaking about the uniqueness of Bumble’s women-led therapy. “Hopefully this really is the norm. It’s ideal action to take, it’s important for us and yes it must a top priority for all people more.”
Bumble’s IPO product launches Wolfe crowd into a rarefied organization of successful female billionaires. While ladies make up approximately half on the international human population, custom made people — largely from Parts of asia — account for significantly less than 5per cent with the world’s 500 greatest fortunes, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires listing. Successful guy comprise nearly two-thirds with the money list.
Of 559 firms that have left community in america within the last year, only two, besides Bumble, were started by women. It’s only one with blank-check companies, wall structure Street’s favored wealth-boosting car of-the-moment. Women-sponsored SPACs totaled fewer than 12, a small fraction of the 349 that indexed in earlier times year.
That implies ladies are greatly being left behind in what’s probable the quickest wealth-creation boom ever. A year ago the world’s 500 richest anyone obtained $1.8 trillion, however 91per cent of these windfall visited boys, as reported by the Bloomberg listing.
“This is an enormous win,” said Allyson Kapin, normal lover at finances organization W account and president associated with the Women Who techie circle. “Whitney spotted a chance that has beenn’t getting taken care of for females and predicated on their skills she’s managed to make it into this goldmine, not merely the lady along with her teams and also her associates.”
Some of the various impediments to people and other underrepresented associations inside the startup world today, like folks of shade, harassment is one of the most pervasive. A Women that technical study this past year found that 44percent of female founders polled said they’d knowledgeable harassment on-the-job, with more than one third of these team experiencing sexual harassment.
It had been harassment the fact is that sparked the development of Bumble. Wolfe Herd started the Austin, Texas-based company in 2014 adhering to them deviation from Tinder, the can compete with a relationship application she served found. The divide was acrimonious, noticeable by an erotic harassment claim Wolfe Herd filed resistant to the team, alleging among other things that this gal had been over and over labeled as derogatory name by professionals and removed of the co-founder function since possessing a “girl” with this label “makes the firm look like bull crap.” The suit am later on settled.
Encounter is constructive. She in the beginning wished to produce a female-only online social network for women to transmit each other compliments but finished up focusing on match-making to the tips and advice of Russian computer billionaire Andrey Andreev, the creator of internet dating software Badoo.
With Andreev’s backing, Wolfe crowd created Bumble as a site “by lady, for females,” touting it as somewhere in which lady happened to be strengthened and harassment would be carefully policed. it is end up being the second-most popular dating software in the US by using ads supporting tag traces such as for instance: “Be the Chief Executive Officer your parents often wished one to wed.”
Wolfe Herd accepted more from Andreev once Blackstone Crowd Inc. got many venture in Bumble’s owner at a value near $3 billion last year. Included in the offer, Wolfe crowd got about $125 million in profit and a $119 million debt that she’s since refunded fully.
“we noticed most cozy handing the baton to Whitney,” Andreev said in an e-mail. “She enjoys proved to be very insightful and innovative in the internet dating place.”
Wolfe Herd’s relationship with Andreev assisted the girl overcome a key barrier to women-led, women-focused startups: money. Around 3per cent of venture capital money head to startups launched by women, as stated in Pitchbook data, a figure which is hardly budged within the last ten years.
The possibility of business capitalists to finance what they understand and who’s in their community sustains the distance. As’s despite information implying women-led startups in fact generate best return compared to those founded by males. Studies done by the Kauffman basis, MassChallenge and BCG found that female-founded agencies made more money and are much more financing efficient.
“This isn’t about charity, it’s about making a huge amount of funds,” claimed ladies who Tech’s Kapin.
Another high-profile listing on the horizon would be that of the straightforward Co, toddler and cosmetics business co-founded by actor Jessica Alba that is considered getting ready to run open.
Feamales in the startup industry are generally optimistic about an increasing tide. “Whitney’s achievement can certainly help further your situation for obtaining companies that offer a female crowd or which are based by ladies,” said Austin opportunity capitalist Kelsi Kamin. “It’s a very stimulating your time.”

Here you’ll find some good Information about common windshield washer problems on cars and light trucks. You’ll also find some hard to find parts like an aftermarket nozzle kit and replacement washer line, that is quite different from standard vacuum hose.
We all know windshield washers spray cleaning fluid onto the windshield that works with the wiper blades to remove dirt from the front windshield. In some cases the same windshield washer pump is used to spray fluid on headlights and in some cases on the rear glass of an SUV or station wagon.
Some manufacturers will use one pump to service all of these surfaces. Other manufacturers will have separate pumps and reservoirs for the rear glass or headlight washer system. Your owner’s manual can give you a few clues about the kind of system that is equipped on your vehicle by showing you the filling locations and therefore where the reservoirs are located.
In most cases vehicle manufacturers will install a washer pump in the fluid reservoir. Although a few vehicles will use a pulse type pumps that gets its power from the wiper motor. Just about all windshield washer systems or activated by pushing and holding a washer switch. A slick feature on many vehicles is that when the washers are operated the windshield wipers are activated at the same time. You may need a car repair manual to diagnose malfunctions in these kinds of systems.
Problems with Windshield Washer Systems
Some vehicles are equipped with a low fluid indicator. The warning systems are most often operated by a float connected to a switch. when the washer fluid level drops to less than a quarter of a tank the float drops and closes the switch which allows current to flow to the fuse panel and turn on the low washer fluid lamp to notify the driver to refill the washer fluid.
As with any parts that are constantly submerged in water these floats and switches can malfunction and provide an inaccurate warning or you may find that the bottle is completely empty but the warning light has not come on. In many cases removing the float and switch and cleaning off the corrosion or rust buildup coupled with applying a very small amount of lubricant can get the system working again.
One of the most common windshield washer problems that I see is that the fluid in the reservoir becomes contaminated. I have seen many different types of contamination. Sometimes somebody will put the wrong fluid into a windshield washer reservoir such as engine oil or coolant. This can cause clogs in the system and other kinds of issues with the electrical parts such as the washer pump and fluid level indicators.
I have also seen people install some additional detergents they think will do a better job of cleaning the windshield. The windshield washer reservoir was made to hold specialized windshield washer fluid only. It was not designed to have dish washing detergent or harsh chemical bug removers in the reservoir tank or flowing through the hoses and pump. The rubber impeller inside the pump is easily damaged.
Many times when I have come across these detergents that were installed in the system it was necessary to replace all of the rubber hoses and the windshield washer pump itself. Sometimes a standard windshield washer fluid does not appear strong enough to remove what is on the windshield.
In this case take the time to physically clean the glass with an approved glass cleaner. The windshield washing system was designed to remove light dirt and debris. Not baked on stains or even stubborn deposits. For more information about common auto repair problems you can return to the blog’s home page.


The Pale-throated sloth is a species of three-toed sloth. These sloths have a rounded head with a blunt nose and small external ears. Their limbs are long and weak and the arms are nearly twice the length of the hindlimbs. The hands and feet each have three digits, armed with long, arched claws. The middle claw is the largest and most powerful. Adults are blackish-grey over most of the body, with darker patches on the backs, shoulders, and hips. Males have a bright yellow or orange patch on the back, divided by a central black stripe.
Pale-throated sloths are found in northern South America, including Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, western Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil north of the Amazon River. They live only in the tropical forests.
Pale-throated sloths are solitary animals that spend almost their entire lives in trees. They can hang so securely with their hook-like claws that they even fall asleep in this position. These sloths are known to spend over eighteen hours each day asleep and move through the tree canopy only very slowly. They periodically descend from the trees and move by dragging themselves by their hands. Sloths can stand on their feet, but they can't walk on them. Despite their arboreal lifestyle, these sloths are effective swimmers. Pale-throated sloths communicate using a bird-like whistle call. It is described as an "ai-ai" sound.
Little is known about the reproductive behavior of Pale-throated sloths. It is known that males leave soon after mating without taking part in raising offspring. Females give birth to a single baby, usually in the beginning of the dry season (March - April). The gestation period lasts about 6 months. The young are born already fully furred, and with open eyes. The baby clings to the mother's underside for the first month of life and begins to take solid food at 3 weeks. The young is fully weaned some time after the first month. Pale-throated sloths reach reproductive maturity at around 3 years of age.
There are no major threats to Pale-throated sloths.
The IUCN Red List and other sources do not provide the Pale-throated sloth total population size. This animal is common and widespread throughout its known range. Currently, this species is classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List.

A state lawmaker wants to restore the rural focus to a state jobs program. State Representative Scott Suder, the Abbotsford Republican who was lead author of legislation that created the Enterprise Zone program in 2005, says something happened on the way to the bill becoming law. “Unfortunately Governor Doyle, when the bill made it through the legislature, he used his veto to take out the word rural,” said Suder, with the result that the first ten million dollars in the program was sent to urban areas. “He took that money and sent it to places like Madison and Milwaukee.”
Suder said that while there’s nothing wrong with job creation in Madison and Milwaukee, that was never the intent of the legislation. “This was never intended to be an urban jobs act, it was supposed to be a rural jobs act, to help rural areas of our state.” Suder’s bill would require the Department of Commerce to designate two Enterprise Zones in communities of less than 5,000 and two in communities of 5,000 to 30,000, to ensure that rural communities are at least given consideration for development dollars.
“Even though the legislature is out of session, I’m hoping the bill gets a hearing, and I’m hoping we can actually pass this. Jobs should be our first priority, and I’m hoping the Democratic majority feels the same way.” The EZ program, as created five years ago, was originally intended to help attract businesses and retain jobs exclusively in rural Wisconsin.

The Grančarevo Dam is located on the Trebišnjica River in the southeast of Bosnia and Herzegovina near its border with Montenegro. With 123 m, this arch dam, near the town of Gornje Grančarevo in the municipality of Trebinije, is the country's highest dam. The adjacent Bileča Reservoir is the largest reservoir in Bosnia and Herzegovina in terms of active storage.
The Grančarevo Dam went into operation in 1967, and the two hydroelectric power plants, Trebinije-1 and -2, with a total output of 188 MW were completed in 1968 and 1979. Recently, the monitoring systems for the safety of the dam were rehabilitated and modernized. In order to ensure the long-term stability of the dam, permanent double corrosion protected strand anchors were installed in the right flank of the slope directly underneath the arch dam.
Electrically testable strand anchors
The anchors used were electrically testable strand anchors in lengths of up to 61.5 m. These anchors have been approved for permanent use (applications with a 100+ year design life). By electrically uncoupling the anchor head and the tendon from the anchor plate, a resistance test between the anchor and the soil can be carried out – the integrity of the corrosion protection sheathing can be tested at any point of time in the future by the use of standardized resistance tests. Furthermore, the anchors comply with SIA requirements.
In order to allow the owner to continuously monitor the prestressing forces in the strand anchors, 46 sensors were installed in the bond length of 23 anchors. The sensors also provided an additional mechanism for monitoring the forces during tensioning. Additionally, DSI supplied four multiplexers with a stainless steel casing for permanent outdoor use that were connected to the sensors in the anchors. Furthermore, DSI engineers installed a readout unit and a controller to automatically read the data.
The data measured by the sensors are continuously read and saved by a controller that is connected to the readout unit. The data is transferred via a glass fibre connection with the controller to a computer located in the control room and analysed once a month. The control room serves for the centralized monitoring of the complete dam.
The strand anchors supplied by DSI were tensioned using two coupled Hollow-Piston CFRP Cylinders. For additional protection, greased stainless steel caps were installed over the anchor heads. Thanks to the strand anchors, the slope underneath the Grančarevo Dam will be permanently monitored to help ensure the safety and reliability of the acting forces.

Caribbean Fever - Your ONLY destination to all things Caribbean and more
Prosecutors believe MAGA mob rioters who stormed the US Capitol last week planned to 'assassinate elected officials' - as it's alleged that a retired Air Force officer carried plastic zip-tie handcuffs because he intended 'to take hostages'.
Retired Lt. Col. Larry Rendall Brock Jr, 53, faced court in Texas on Thursday after he was arrested after being photographed on the Senate floor during the deadly riot wearing a helmet and heavy vest and carrying plastic zip-tie handcuffs.
Brock, a father-of-three who lives in Dallas, was released to home confinement after being charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
During his hearing, prosecutors said the zip ties were proof Brock - who appeared in court with his hands and feet shackled - had planned to take hostages during the siege.
'He means to take hostages. He means to kidnap, restrain, perhaps try, perhaps execute members of the U.S. government,' Assistant US Attorney Jay Weimer said of Brock.
Separately, federal prosecutors in Arizona alleged that the intent of the rioters during the siege was to capture and assassinate elected officials.
In a court filing on Thursday, the Arizona prosecutors argued that 'QAnon Shaman' Jacob Chansley should be detained pending trial after he was charged over his involvement in the riots.

Brock was released from jail on Thursday (pictured above) pending his trial but was ordered to surrender his firearms and is only allowed to have limited internet access
The prosecutor in Brock's case had also argued that he should be detained given his military background, saying 'his prior experience and training make him all the more dangerous'.
Magistrate Judge Jeffrey L Cureton said he would release Brock to home confinement. Cureton ordered Brock to surrender any firearms and said he could have only limited internet access as conditions of that release.
'I need to put you on a very short rope,' Cureton said. 'These are strange times for our country and the concerns raised by the government do not fall on deaf ears.'
During the hearing, prosecutors read out social media posts from Brock, including one posted on the day of the Capitol riot that said: 'Patriots on the Capitol. Patriots storming. Men with guns need to shoot their way in.'
Weimer noted that Brock had once been fired for making threatening and racist comments. He read a termination letter from the former employer that said he had talked in the workplace about killing people of a 'particular religion and or race'.
Prosecutors also read social media posts in which Brock referred to a coming civil war and the election being stolen from President Donald Trump.
Weimer said Brock's posts also referenced the far-right and anti-government Oath Keepers and the Three Percenters, a loose anti-government network that´s part of the militia movement. The Oath Keepers claim to count thousands of current and former law enforcement officials and military veterans as members.
An FBI agent who testified said there was no evidence beyond the social media posts that Brock was involved with either of those groups.

Brock's attorney, Brook Antonio II, noted that Brock has only been charged with misdemeanors.
Antonio said there was no direct evidence of Brock breaking doors or windows to get into the Capitol or doing anything violent once he was inside.
'It's all talk. It´s all speculation and conjecture,' said Antonio, who noted Brock's long service in the military, including being reactivated after September 11 and his four tours in Afghanistan.
Weimer said Brock will likely face additional charges.
Meanwhile, prosecutors filed court documents on Thursday evening seeking the detention of Chansley, the QAnon conspiracy theorist who was pictured during the riot dressed as a horned shaman.
'Strong evidence, including Chansley's own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States government,' prosecutors said.
They said the 33-year-old left a note for Pence at the dais in the Senate Chamber where the second-in-command had been standing just minutes before, which read: 'it's only a matter of time, justice is coming.'
Chansley, who is due to appear in court on Friday on his charges, is a regular drug user and likely has mental health problems, prosecutors say.

Prosecutors said the 33-year-old left a note for Pence at the dais in the Senate Chamber where the second-in-command had been standing just minutes before, which read: 'it's only a matter of time, justice is coming.'
'Chansley has spoken openly about his belief that he is an alien, a higher being, and he is here on Earth to ascend to another reality,' the filing read.
Prosecutors requested he be detained as he 'poses serious risks of flight and danger to the community.'
More than 100 people have been arrested in the Capitol riot, with charges ranging from curfew violations to serious federal felonies related to theft and weapons possession.
The FBI has been investigating whether some of the rioters had planned to kidnap members of Congress and hold them hostage.
Before his arrest, Brock told The New Yorker that he found the zip-tie cuffs on the floor and that he had planned to give them to a police officer.
'I wish I had not picked those up,' he said.
There was no evidence presented that Brock had a firearm on the day of the Capitol riot.
Antonio asked an FBI agent who was testifying whether it was possible Brock had just picked up the cuffs and the agent acknowledged that was a possibility.

Brock served in the Air Force for more than two decades and now works for an aviation company.
Following his arrest, unnamed family members have claimed said that Brock had become increasingly radical and influenced by white supremacy in recent years.
Bill Leake, who served alongside Brock in the Air Force for 10 years, told the New Yorker he had fallen out of touch with him because he had 'gotten extreme'.
He said Brock, who was nicknamed Torch in the force, became obsessed with Trump and with following 'the alternative-news-source world'.
'Torch got all in on Trump. He went all in on the alternative-news-source world,' said Leake.
'He actually believes liberals and Democrats are a threat to the country. You can see how the logical conclusion to that is, 'We've gotta take over'.'
Two family members said Brock called himself a patriot, had started making racist comments and that they believe he was influenced by white supremacy.
'[He started saying] weird rage talk, basically, saying he's willing to get in trouble to defend what he thinks is right, which is Trump being the President, I guess,' one of the family members said.
They added that he developed a 'weird sense of power' from his military career and that he 'doesn't understand the fallout and the people he's hurting'.

Direct sow starting just before last frost, and again every two weeks until end of spring. Centaurea can be direct sown in autumn as well. Starting indoors is not necessary, but can be accomplished by keeping seed trays in the dark at the optimal soil temperature of 15-21°C (60-70°F). Move under bright lights once germination occurs, and transplant out in late spring, after all risk of frost has passed.

Cornflowers are prized historically for their blue pigment. Cornflowers are often used as an ingredient in tea and is famous in the Lady Grey blend of Twinings.
Sow in pots or trays of moist seed compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep at 15-20°C (59-68°F). Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged. Germination will usually take 14-21 days.
When they are large enough to handle, transplant the seedlings into 7cm (3in) pots or trays. Overwinter plants in cool, light, frost-free conditions before planting out the following spring, or grow on as greenhouse pot plants.
Flowers Borders and Beds, Patio/Container Plants, Cut Flower, Attracts Butterflies, Drought Tolerant, Everlasting (use for drying and pressing, Cornflowers retain their colours when dried)
Centaurea cyanus ‘Blue Boy’ is a very fine, old, tall variety, a double flowered cultivar of the wildflower form, with lance shaped, long and graceful leaves. The upper half of the plant has multiple stems which produce many flowers from early summer until frost.
The Boy series, also known as the Ball series, feature double flowered blooms on tall stems for garden or cutting, are available in many colours including Black, Blue, Pink, Red and White.
Sow in August to September for early summer flowering the next year or sow directly where they are to flower in March to April
A favorite annual flower and cottage garden staple, a single cornflower looks like a burst of fireworks. The piercing, bright blue flowers with ruffled petals and violet-blue centres appear from early to late summer.
These beauties grow well as border plants and are wonderful in a cutting garden; they look fabulous clustered among other contrasting flowers such as pink roses.
Once upon a time anything that grew and bloomed in a grain field was considered a ‘cornflower.’ As time passed, that moniker stuck to Centaurea cyanus in particular, all the other flowers left to find their own names.
Bachelor’s-buttons, as you might suspect from the Latin genus and species, have a bit of folklore under its belt. Cyanus was a youth in Greek legend who worshipped Chloris (or Flora), and spent every waking hour gathering flowers for her altar. (Today we call that a stalker.) When he died, the goddess gave his name to the plant, though some believed she turned him into the plant.
Centaurea comes to us from the Centaur Chiron, who cured a festering wound that was made with an arrow dipped in the Hydra’s blood. The wound was cured by covering it with the flowers of this plant, which now bears his name as its genus name. This also gave the plant its reputation for great healing properties.
Sowing Direct :
Sow thinly, 3mm (1/8in) deep in drills 30cm (12in) apart in well-cultivated soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Water ground regularly, especially in dry periods.
When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 15cm (6in) apart
This fully hardy plant requires a sunny site, growing in most well-drained soil types, even poor soil. Do not over fertilise because this will lead to excessive leaf growth at the expense of blossoms. Cornflowers bloom more when crowded.
The wiry plants may need some discreet support, and deadheading helps to prolong the flowering season.

Hawaiian protesters converged in large numbers Monday morning in opposition to a controversial city plan to build a ball field and parking lot at a popular Waimanalo beach park that many residents believe has historic and sacred significance as a burial ground.
Dozens of activists lined the sides of Kalanianaole Highway, waving signs, banners and Hawaiian flags, at times chanting “Aloha Aina.” The protest, which has been underway for six months, appears modeled on what is happening at Mauna Kea.
Protesters had been told that the city planned to send contractors to resume the stalled construction work at the site. They hoped to block the entry of earth moving equipment into the park. Work on the site stopped after a fire there in May.
“It’s my mauna,” said Waimanalo resident Ahonui Ohelo, who, like the others, stood in the humid heat and then a drizzling rain, to keep watch on the site. “Before I go any place, I need to protect my house. This is definitely my mauna.”
Like on Mauna Kea, “it’s the people versus the government,” said Kalani Kalima, another protester from Waimanalo.
Many motorists passing by honked and waved their hands in support of the demonstration.
The heavily treed park is known by residents as Sherwood Forest. Its official name is Waimanalo Bay Beach Park.
In April, after minimal public notice, Honolulu embarked on the first phase of a multi-phase construction project that would turn the serene and secluded enclave into a regional ball field with up to 470 parking spaces. Many residents did not know the project was underway until the bulldozers arrived and started clearing the formerly forested area, stripping it of vegetation.
Large numbers of Waimanalo residents asked city officials to stop the construction work. But Mayor Kirk Caldwell previously said that it would cost $300,000 to stop it because the contracts had been signed and the city was committed.
In June, the Waimanalo Neighborhood Board voted 10 to 1 to oppose construction at the site, calling on Caldwell and City Council Chair Ikaika Anderson, who lives in Waimanalo, to stop what it called further destruction of Sherwood Forest.
City officials say they will stop the project after the first phase is completed. This first phase, they say, will include a multi-purpose field, a playground, a parking lot and a water irrigation line. They say they will plant native Hawaiian vegetation on the periphery of the developed areas.
In an email, Nathan Serota, a public information officer for the city Department of Parks and Recreation, confirmed that the city was resuming work on the site on Monday. He said the city is also investigating whether “another waterline can be tapped which is further away from two identified burial sites.”
Protesters say they believe city officials are running roughshod over community opinion, pushing through construction plans that many people oppose.
“We wanted to be here to prevent the machines coming through,” said Kau Kalama, who arrived at the park at about 5:30 in the morning.
“The city is doing what they want to do and not listening to what people want,” she said. “The mayor only wants to listen to opinions that align with his agenda.”
On Monday, the demonstration drew people of all ages, including senior citizens and mothers with babies.
Liloa Kilima, 17, arrived at the park at 7 a.m., prepared to stop the movement of construction equipment onto the site, holding aloft a Hawaiian flag flying upside down. He said the city should repair existing Waimanalo ball fields that have fallen into disrepair rather than building new ones.
“I don’t like it,” Kalima said. “Constructing a sports field will destroy the park. They already have two parks. They should fix both of them.”
It was unclear what the city had intended to do at the site on Monday. A group of police cars arrived early in the morning, but soon mostly departed, leaving one police officer sitting in a van at the construction site.
A single construction worker, wearing a Kaikor Construction Co. T-shirt, set to work mending a fence but refused further comment, saying that any inquiries should be directed to city officials.
As they are doing on Mauna Kea, where Hawaiian residents are opposing the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope, the park opponents are using a strategy called kapu aloha. The term refers to a passive resistance model that is peaceful and persistent and minimizes the risk of physical injury to any of the participants.
Protest leader Kuike Kamakea-Ohelo, using a bullhorn, alternated between messages explaining why the civic action was needed and urging people to drink water regularly in the heat to stay hydrated during what he suggested may be a lengthy travail.
“My biggest concern is safety,” he said.
Similarly, during the early morning hours, Ohelo stood on the side of the road wearing a neon-colored construction jacket to help protesters and pedestrians move back and forth safely across the busy highway.
“We’re here to hold the space,” he said.

The Downpatrick and County Down Railway has taken delivery of the distinctive old semaphore railway signals recovered from Castlerock Station, which have been replaced with modern colour light signalling as part of a £46m upgrade to the Londonderry railway line aimed at improving journey times and frequencies by Translink.
Railway chairman Robert Gardiner said: “We’re absolutely delighted to preserve these relics of the Victorian era that had survived well into the 21st Century on the modern railway.”
He added: “These will be restored and re-erected along our heritage line in County Down to continue to perform the task they were designed to do, where members of the public can see them once again in action”.
These types of signals were known as “somersaults” because of their atypical motion compared to other railway semaphore signals, and were once a typical feature of the LMS Northern Counties railway lines from Belfast York Road Station to Antrim, Larne, Coleraine, Portrush and Derry.
They were designed for areas that were prone to snowfall in the winter, which meant normal signals could become frozen inside their slotted posts, which prevented them returning to the “stop” position, which could lead to a train running past a signal at danger.
Edward French, a signal fitter with the english Great Northern Railway, came up with the design in the 1870s where a centrally balanced signal arm pivoted away from the post. While the ‘on’ indication was no different in appearance from that of previous semaphores, the arm in the ‘off’ position remained fully visible in an almost vertical position and not obscured by the post.
Mr Gardiner added: “We have been working with Translink over the past number of years to secure the future of these semaphore signals, and our thanks to them for all their enthusiasm and assistance in making this project happen”.

School partnerships at a high school in Oklahoma combine relationship-building with data analysis to boost the graduation rate from 53 percent to 75 percent in three years.
December 5, 2017
By Amadou Diallo, The Hetchinger Report
The Christian Science Monitor
Under the umbrella of Diplomas Now, three separate organizations operate on Webster’s campus. City Year, with its team of 10 corps members, is the most visible. Communities In Schools, a Virginia-based nonprofit, directs students and families in need to community resources. Talent Development Secondary, a nonprofit that grew out of a Johns Hopkins University study on dropout rates, is the data-driven arm; it identifies kids at risk of dropping out and establishes a school-wide process of intervention and support services to keep them on track to graduate.
“Diplomas Now has given us the boots on the ground to work with these kids individually. We can take the load off of our teachers, who are under the pressure of meeting the academic standards, so that we aren’t a failure factory,” the principal, Shelly Holman, says.


Sorry, there are no results.
A joint KPMG and Localis publication looking to outline a vision for local government in the context of significant cuts across the public sector. The document has five key areas which we explore and suggest that local government should be looking at in the coming years.
In this edition of Policy Platform we discuss how local authorities can deliver improved services around locally determined priorities. This is in the context of the ‘Total Place’ pilot initiative currently underway which is looking to examine the total spend of all agencies within an area to aim to reduce cost and bureaucracy.
From the 1st of October 2009, Westminster Council will introduce a new operating model, reducing headcount by 10%, delivering nearly 12m annual savings and improving services.
Major cities across the UK, such as Manchester, need to be given more freedom and powers, according to a new report from Localis and Policy Exchange. The report finds that the current centralised performance regime ? resulting in ‘earned’ powers for cities – prevents local strategic aims being achieved.
Introduced in June 2009, ?Free After Three? allows shoppers in Rochdale and Middleton to be able to park for free in the town centre if they arrive after three on weekdays and Saturdays. The move is aimed at helping local retailers hit by the recession.
This is a note following a roundtable discussion hosted by Localis and Kent County Council looking into developing a revised structure and format for regional governance. Paul Carter, Leader of Kent County Council, introduced and concluded the session, with a wide ranging discussion in between.
In this edition of Policy Platform we have articles from: Cllr Paul Bettison from Bracknell Forest Borough Council, Cllr Margaret Eaton from the Local Government Association and Neil McInroy from the Centre for Local Economic Strategies on the topic of how local government should be represented in national politics.
This project is designed to involve young people in the decision making process of the Council and to create a positive role model for the Council. It also presents and opportunity to promote cohesion amongst young people from different communities. It costs almost nothing to do and has many potential benefits.
Voter turnout at local and national elections is consistently low, and falls far behind most other Western countries. But why is this? This edition of Policy Platform aims to explore this question and to understand what may be required to re-engage people in a political process which increasingly large numbers of people distrust or do not care about.
This is a note following a roundtable discussion hosted by Localis and the Audit Commission looking at the financial pressures on local government and the associated themes for how to deal with the effects of the recession. Steve Bundred, Chief Executive of the Audit Commission introduced and concluded the session, with a wide ranging discussion in between.

Lil Uzi Vert has finally released their long-awaited new album Pink Tape.
The extended-release features 26 songs in total and includes collaborations from all across the musical spectrum. From a hip-hop perspective, Lil Uzi links up with Travis Scott, Nicki Minaj, and Don Toliver on the release. Meanwhile, British rock band Bring Me the Horizon and Japan’s Babymetal also collaborate with the American rapper.
“It was challenging at first. But then after probably after a month, I got used to it,” Uzi recently said about making the project to TMZ. “I thought that my creative process wasn’t going to be the same because I wasn’t on drugs no more. It was the same.”
They continued: “Even better. Because I could think more clear and I could actually, like, instead of my words slurring, which is kinda of cool, everything made sense. I didn’t just make random music. How can I say? I didn’t play off the beat. I actually made song with topics this time.”
Pink Tape is the first full-length release from the hip-hop artist since their 2020 album Eternal Atake, which provided Uzi with their second number-one LP.
The rapper is currently playing a series of festival dates across Europe which includes an appearance at Wireless Festival in London on July 7th, and a set at Longitude Festival in Ireland on July 1st.

BUFFALO, NY | November 29, 2022
Every year, thousands of firefighters race up hundreds of stairs in full firefighter gear weighing over 40 pounds during American Lung Association Fight For Air Climbs in more than 40 cities nationwide. Kozlowski was chosen as one of the American Lung Association’s top Fight For Air Climb firefighters nationwide.
“Congrats to Karl and the entire Main Transit Fire Department team for being honored in the 2023 Fight For Air Climb Firefighter Calendar! They are not only out there saving lives every day, but they also train and fundraise for events like the Fight For Air Climb in their free time,” said Kaelyn Gates, Senior Director of Development for the Lung Association in Western New York. “We would like to invite other firefighters and first responders in Buffalo and the surrounding area to join our Fight For Air Climb to help support our vision of a world free of lung disease.”
"The Fight For Air Climb is one of our favorite events of the year," said Karl Kozlowski, Senior Captain, Main-Transit Fire Department. "Not only is it a wonderful opportunity to raise funds for the important cause of lung health that is deeply important to our local community, but it is a meaningful day that allows us to pay tribute to so many of our brother and sister first responders who are facing lung disease. We are already training for the 2023 Climb, and we are ready to challenge any local firefighters who haven’t joined this event yet to sign up, start training, and meet us on the stairs!"
The mission of the American Lung Association hits close to home with firefighters. Respiratory diseases remain a significant health issue for firefighters and emergency responders. Firefighters are at a higher risk to develop chronic issues, including lingering cough, hoarseness, asthma, and allergies and in more extreme cases, may be diagnosed with lung or bronchial cancer.

Okay so it's my understanding that the YT-1300 along with most other ships who have target lock, can only have one target lock at a time. However the crew member upgrade "Weapons Engineer" says
"You may maintain 2 target locks (only 1 per enemy ship) When you acquire a target lock, you may lock onto 2 different ships. "
Now what is confusing me is, is the ability to "lock onto 2 different ships" refer to when I make a target lock with ANY of my ships? Or Just the YT-1300? And if it's with the YT-1300, and I target lock someone, and I'm able to lock onto 2 different ships, can I maintain 3 locks with the YT-1300 now? Or still just two? Or would I lock onto a ship, then take off the lock, and put 2 locks onto any ships I want? Also do the ships being locked onto, have to be in range of regular target lock range?
