This paper focuses on the political dimensions of UNRWA's mandate and activities through an analysis of its relations with the Palestinian national movement. The evolution of the UNRWA-PLO relationship, from uneasy coexistence to active partnership, parallels changes in each of the two bodies: UNRWA's movement toward greater politicization, and the PLO's gradual embrace of developmental goals associated with the state-building process. The article ends by touching on the problems inherent in the new development approach, particularly with reference to the refugees' right of return.

Stocks managed solid gains again on Wednesday as the much better than expected earnings from Bank of America (BAC) increased the enthusiasm for stocks. Testimony by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke was also reassuring as he repeated that there was no firm timeline for stopping the stimulus. Yields declined further in reaction to his comments which was inline with the technical outlook.
The market internals were solidly positive with advances leading declines by a 2-1 margin. This has stalled the slight deterioration noted after Tuesday's close. Housing starts dropped 9.9% and hit the lowest level since last August. Economists were way off the mark as they were looking for some slight improvement.
One of the more interesting developments this month was the breakout in crude oil from a several-month trading range as the $100 level was overcome. Despite much lower than expected inventories in Wednesday's EIA report, crude oil was just slightly higher Wednesday but is up in early trading Thursday.
Though the weekly relative performance for the energy sector has not yet completed its bottom formation, several oil stocks are now back to support where it appears they are being accumulated. This should be a good opportunity to add some energy exposure to your portfolio as crude oil should be even higher by year end.
Chart Analysis: The daily chart of crude oil futures shows the July 3 completion of a four-month trading range, lines a and b.
- Crude testing its daily starc+ band last week so the recent sideways action was not surprising.
- The formation has an upside target and the next weekly resistance at the March 2012 high of $110.55.
- Of course in May 2011, crude oil hit a high of $114.83 based on the continuous crude oil contract.
- The daily OBV had held above support during April's sharp drop.
- The OBV confirmed the price action by moving through its corresponding resistance at line c.
- The weekly OBV (not shown) is also positive.
- There is initial support in the $104.20 area with the rising 20-day EMA now at $102.24.
Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) is a $19.1 billion independent oil and gas refiner that has been correcting since its March highs of $48.93.
- At the early July low of $33.00, it was down 32% from its high.
- The daily chart shows a potential short-term bottom formation, line e, that should be completed with a move above $36.18.
- The daily downtrend, line d, and the 38.2% Fibonacci resistance is at $39.13.
- The 50% retracement resistance is at $41.03.
- The relative performance moved above its WMA last week and looks ready to break its downtrend, line f.
- The daily OBV has pulled back to test its flattening WMA and appears to have bottomed, line g.
- Minor support is now at $34.50 with further at $33.40.
Click to Enlarge
EPL Oil & Gas Inc. (EPL) is a $1.18 billion independent oil and gas company that reports earnings on July 29.
- EPL rallied sharply from the June lows on June 21 as an HCD was triggered.
- The rally stalled at the resistance in the $31.80-$32.10 area, line a.
- There is stronger resistance in the $34.44 to $35.14 area.
- The relative performance held above the long-term support at line d, on the recent correction.
- The RS line needs to move above the resistance at line c, to confirm that it has bottomed.
- The volume was very strong on the rally from the June lows as the OBV moved above its WMA ands then broke its downtrend, line e.
- There is initial support at $28.75 with more important at $27, line b.
Phillips 66 (PSX) is a $35.94 billion oil and gas marketing and refining company, which reports earnings on July 31.
- PSX peaked at $70.52 in April and hit a low on July 3 at $54.80.
- This was a correction of 22% from the highs as the major 38.2% Fibonacci retracement support was tested (line g).
- The relative performance did confirm the April highs before dropping below its WMA.
- There is longer-term resistance for the relative performance at line h.
- The on-balance volume (OBV) shows a positive zig-zag formation but need a good volume up day to bottom out.
- The OBV has major resistance at the downtrend, line i.
- The recent bounce failed at $59.85 with further resistance at $61.74, which was the quarterly pivot.
- There is stronger resistance now in the $65 area.
What It Means: The sharply higher crude oil prices suggest an increased demand, which is consistent with the growing global demand.
The volume pattern is the strongest for EPL Oil & Gas Inc. (EPL) but a stop needs to be under Tuesday's low.
Having taken some very nice profits in Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) earlier in the year, I would look to buy near current levels, but I would wait for a deeper pullback or confirmation of a bottom in Phillips 66 (PSX).
How to Profit: For EPL Oil & Gas Inc. (EPL), go 50% long at $29.86 and 50% at $29.34, with a stop at $28.13 (risk of approx. 5%).
For Valero Energy Corp. (VLO), go 50% long at $34.90 and 50% at $34.11, with a stop at $32.84 (risk of approx. 4.7%).
For Phillips 66 (PSX), go 50% long at $56.64 and 50% at $55.44, with a stop at $54.19.
(risk of approx. 3.3%).

Oh the smiles!!!
Sarah and Blake met in elementary school, but it wasn’t until many years later that their dating relationship started after Blake made his move and commented on one of Sarah’s Instagram photos. And now, what you see here before you, is the newest chapter of their story.
We started off Sarah and Blake’s wedding day by doing a first look with Sarah and her father. The moments captured are so sweet and you can see just how much love is radiating from their relationship.
Sarah is such a stunning bride!!
It was SO HOT outside that when we did the wedding party we tried our best to keep cool by staying in the shade and getting these shots knocked out FAST. This crew was awesome and had such a positive attitude through it all!
The ceremony was picture perfect! Check some out below.
Can’t you just see all the genuine joy all over Sarah and Blake’s faces?! And can you guess what made it even better??… That’s right, making it OFFICIAL!!!
The first dance is the my FAVORITE part of the entire wedding. The elegance and beauty of holding on to each other is so emotionally centered that you just can’t help but watch.
One of the coolest things about Sarah and Blake’s wedding was that it was also Sarah’s 22nd birthday!!! Her present this year was a husband!!
To finish off their wedding, we celebrated with Blake and Sarah with bubbles!! It’s always so fun, in my opinion, because you can see how even adults have so much fun blowing bubbles.
Congratulations Sarah and Blake!!!!

The suspension was noted between Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon. In the midst of the lawyers’ strike, this profile is very active in the movement against pension reform.
“I am extremely shocked”, launches Estellia Araez, president of the French Lawyers’ Union (SAF), to franceinfo. The union’s Twitter account was suspended Monday evening, February 17. “I noticed the suspension around 11 pm”, specifies the lawyer. It was finally restored the next day, at the beginning of the afternoon.
It is through this profile that the lawyers, on strike for seven weeks, relay their opposition to the pension reform, debated from this week in the National Assembly. They are protesting against the project of a future universal system, which would lead to a decline in pensions and the doubling, in some cases, of the pension contributions of lawyers.
Tweets against pension reform
SAF quickly suspected that this suspension was linked to its challenge, on the social network, of the pension reform. For several days, the trade union has been using its profile to challenge the deputies of La République en Marche. About twenty parliamentarians from the majority were contacted, according to the president of the SAF, each time with an identical message: “Are you going to vote for the pension reform which no longer has anything universal and will suffocate lawyers in particular? [ceux] working at[aide juridictionnelle], and therefore prevent access to the law of the popular classes? ” A question also taken up by the local sections of the union.
“If it is in connection with the interpellation in number of certain LREM deputies, we are quite astonished”, indicated the president of the union, Tuesday morning. “I hope these are not reports from some deputies. If it’s [le cas], it is extremely serious ”, was initially worried Estellia Araez. A hypothesis swept aside from the outset by the “walking” deputies. “I can’t imagine for a second that this is the case”, said Aurore Bergé, spokesperson for LREM, Tuesday morning, interviewed by franceinfo
Twitter questioned by the union
For the union, another explanation is plausible: how the Twitter algorithm works. The repeated sending of identical messages can potentially be considered by the social network as spam. In its regulations, Twitter indicates that “most of the accounts we suspend are spam accounts, or just fake accounts ”. “If an algorithm can do this without warning, without having to explain the motive, it’s serious for freedom of expression”, gets carried away EstelliaAraez.
After the account was restored, Tuesday around 1 p.m., the union had confirmation that it was indeed the sending of these identical messages that was at the origin of this suspension. In a letter to the union, Twitter justifies this decision by “Repeatedly posting identical tweets”.
A form of “censorship”
Bringing the account back online did not calm the union’s outrage. “It remains very problematic, even if it was restored in 12 hours”, comments the president of the union. In a press release, the SAF denounces “A particularly serious attack on freedom of expression and freedom of association”, adding that she “Illustrates the dangers of automated censorship mechanisms”.
On Twitter, the temporary closure of the profile had triggered many reactions. Several Internet users have drawn the parallel between this event and, conversely, the maintenance of the account of the former deputy LREM, Agnès Cerighelli, some recent tweets of which were reported to the public prosecutor for “incitement to hatred”.
“There are really two weights, two measures”, comments the president of the union. “I hope Twitter will change its rules, which are particularly vague. They leave the power to the social network to choose, without defined criteria, what can be suspended ”, considers the president of the union.
The organization considers in its press release that it is a form of “censure”, particularly serious in the midst of the lawyers’ strike. “This questions us about the way we can communicate about our actions”, worries lawyer Virginie Marques, an active member of the SAF, interviewed by franceinfo. It also remains that the account has lost all its subscribers, while it had more than 7,000 before its suspension on Monday evening.

Legions of daytime drama fans were thrilled when Jaime Lyn Bauer re-emerged as psychiatric patient, 'Dr. Laura Horton', on NBC's #1 daytime drama "Days of our Lives" after her previous nine-year starring role on the CBS drama "The Young and the Restless" as the sexy and sophisticated 'Lauralee Brooks'.
Born in Phoenix, Arizona, Jaime's intrinsic beauty led her to the Junior Miss Pageant, which she entered and went on to place as a runner-up in the Miss Arizona Pageant. After graduating from Phoenix Junior College, Bauer began modeling in Chicago and became Miss Chicago for the Miss America Pageant.
While pursuing modeling in LA, she landed numerous guest-starring television roles, finally having to choose between a seven year contract with Universal and a three year contract with "The Young and The Restless". Jaime also appeared in such shows as "The F.B.I.", "Hotel", "The Love Boat" and "Mike Hammer" as well as the feature film, "Young Doctors in Love" and had the good fortune to play opposite many wonderful actors including: Vincent Price, Tommy Lee Jones, Jack Palance, Stacy Keach, Leslie Neilson, Jessica Walters and Tom Selleck.
While she graced the covers of countless magazines, including TV Guide, US, People, Playboy and Playgirl, her talent as well as her beauty was recognized when she was named Best Actress numerous times by Daytime TV.
After leaving "Y&R", Bauer joined the cast of the prime time show, "Bare Essence", and starred in the theatrical production of "Extremities", winning rave reviews. She followed that up with a contract offer for a role in the Broadway production of "The Odd Couple" but was forced to decline when she discovered she was pregnant with her third child.
Returning from maternity leave, she co-starred in a Movie of the Week with Delta Burke & Willie Nelson, along with episodes of "Knots Landing" and "Young Riders", and starred in the maxi-series, "Judith Krantz's Secrets" which shot for 18 weeks in Italy.
For almost 10 years, Jaime was the celebrity spokesperson for the Epilepsy Foundation and traveled across the nation to raise money, increase awareness and educate the public. She regularly made appearances for the Foundation's 62 nationwide affiliates and was asked to pen the foreword to the book, "The Brainstorms Family".
As talented behind the scenes as in front of the camera, Bauer launched her own production company, Envision Entertainment. Among the projects in development are several screenplays which Jaime co-authored as well as a sitcom that she created and scripted.
Most recently, her heralded return to "Young and Restless", while short-term, resulted in one of the highest weekly ratings jumps in the shows recent history, and she will soon begin production on a feature film.
Jaime is married to Emmy award-winning make-up artist, Jeremy Swan. They reside in Studio City with their 3 children.

I still remember sitting in a planetarium watching a presentations on constellations. I was about 8 years old and couldn’t wait for nighttime to come so I could find Cassiopeia. The name was one I had never heard and success came soon after as I found it that evening. The 94-page CONSTELLATIONS FOR KIDS would have come in handy in my quest to find many more pictures in the sky.
The journey begins with an overview of our amazing universe. A closer look at The Big Dipper and North Star follow, giving much needed help in finding the location of many other constellations.
The table of contents arranges 23 constellations into four seasonal categories when they are best to see. Each of the constellation pages give seekers legendary background and how high to find them in the sky (using a handy trick I never knew about). Detailed star by star locations help you map out the image. There’s also a full page picture to prepare you for the search.
A glossary and sky maps wrap up this handy guide. I gave this book to a young neighbor and have spotted her and several friends outside looking up instead of down at their phones. This will only be the beginning to spark their interest in learning more.

Kids who love astronomy will love this book. I loved to look at stars and dream about life in the universe when I was a kid. But, I had such a hard time remembering the constellations — hurt my neck looking up and didn’t own a telescope. But, space and what we know now really intrigues me! Thanks for sharing!
I love to look at the stars and find constellations. This sounds like a terrific book for youngsters. If it can get them to look away from their phones, that is a huge bonus. I will check this one out. Thanks for the heads up.
What a fun book! I can imagine it would be so much fun to search for the constellations, especially if you have a guide like this to figure out what they look like. Where I live, it’s often difficult to see the stars, but I expect readers in other locations would really enjoy this! Thanks so much for the great review!

The decision by the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust to close the New Earswick swimming pool has come under fire. The Trust announcement yesterday claimed that the pool was losing £130,000 a year and needed £1.3 million spending on building repairs.
The statement came as a surprise with the last published accounts of the Trust (covering 2016) making no reference to the pool or the looming financial crisis.
The accounts do however reveal that the Trust had assets of over £163 million including reserves of £45 million.
The organisation made an operating surplus of £1.9 million last year.
The cost of supporting the swimming pool fell from £147,000 in 2015 to £133,000 in 2016.
The Trust spent £12 million on salaries last year including £185,000 on the remuneration of its Chief Executive. Pay increases of 2.6% were agreed for staff last year.
Huntington and New Earswick’s three Liberal Democrat councillors have launched a petition calling on the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust to reconsider plans to close the swimming pool in New Earswick.
Cllrs Keith Orrell, Chris Cullwick and Carol Runciman are encouraging residents to sign the Liberal Democrat petition online: www.yorklibdems.org.uk/neswimmingpool.
Cllr Keith Orrell said: “The swimming pool’s closure has been announced by the Trust without any consultation with users of the pool or local people, and with no attempt to explore alternative funding options.
“We appreciate that the 1% rent reduction forced on Housing Associations by the Government has put even more pressure on their budgets but we would urge the Trust to work with users and local people to explore ways of maintaining a facility which has served local people for 50 years.”

Troy Robb receives Mesquite Fire and Rescue Firefighter of the Year Award
One Mesquite Fire and Rescue firefighter is being honored and recognized for his dedication to bettering the department.
Troy Robb, MFR firefighter and advanced EMT, was chosen as MFR’s Firefighter of the Year for his involvement in researching and implementing a new breathing apparatus for crew use when they enter fires.
"I was in charge of researching companies and overseeing maintenance and operations on how to use them," Robb said. "They’re state-of-the-art."
The entire process of implementing the new equipment started over a year ago, and Robb said much of that was maintenance and training. He implemented the entire program within the department.
"To me, I just took it on," Robb said. "I didn’t do it for the award, and I don’t look for accolades. I like to stay under the radar and do my job."
'Amazing' project builds pride at Beaver Dam High School
Robb said being recognized by his colleagues is one of the best ways to know he’s doing a good job, and his chief takes the time to recognize hard work within the department.
Robb was hired by MFR in April 2008 after he had just retired from the U.S. Navy. He said he was 39 when he retired from the service. Robb is a Cedar City native, and he said he was more than happy to return to the area.
"It just worked out perfectly," Robb said.
Mesquite Clean Indoor Air coalition moving forward with city council soon
A big goal Robb said he focuses on is improving the department, and his wife has been a big help in that matter for nearly 30 years.
"She’s a military and fire wife," he said. "She’s been pretty great."
In addition to Robb’s successes, the department also boasts of two recipients of the Safety Officer Award Recognition, Jayson Andrus and Karen Hughes.

All Music Guide review "How Freedom Sounds":
At first glance, the comedy duo Red State Update may look like a Blue Collar Comedy Tour ripoff, but they're the darlings of progressive online magazine Salon.com and on the buddy list of "those liberal nonproliferationists" CNN. Thanks to their video submission, it was on said cable news network that young bumpkin Dunlap (played by Jonathan Shockley) and the overalled, Uncle Jesse-esque Jackie Broyles (Travis Harmon) got to ask the Democratic presidential hopefuls about Al Gore, drawing a tongue-in-cheek insult from Joe Biden plus an appearance from Mike Gravel on their YouTube channel. A series of videos posted to the video-sharing site earned the two a sizable following, so it isn't much of a surprise that they would strike while the iron is hot and get to cashing in. What is a surprise is how their debut CD satisfies with hilarious novelty songs being added to the act alongside their usual commentaries. Here Jackie and Dunlap skillfully execute their layered, ironic style, which is Stephen Colbert meets Kinky Friedman on the set of Hee Haw. There's jibber-jabbering about the Bonnaroo-bound hippies who pass through Jackie's store in Tennessee and impressions of various celebrities fishing their wristwatches out of clogged garbage disposals, including Peter Ustinov and Michael Douglas "of Jewel of the Nile fame." While these down-home exchanges are just as entertaining as their videos, the wonderful songs are what make the CD so easy to recommend. The cowardly rave-up "Iraq (I Don't Wanna Go)" features the great "Two things in Iraq you'll never find/WMDs and my behind" plus the sage advice that "Iraqi porn is awful." "Noodles, Powder, Water & Meat" is Jackie's moving ode to "hamburger dinner in a box," and Dunlap's quest for that ever so rare "Stripper Without a Kid" shouldn't be missed. Well-rounded with amusing talk and belly-laugh songs, How Freedom Sounds is an essential album for fans of kickass political commentary or anyone who quits his job once Talladega time rolls around.

I'm a fan of their commentary, but I don't know if I could sit through an album of the stuff. I could see getting it out of respect for all the laughs that they have giving me the last year. Some of their stuff is edgey( for you faint of heart types)

Not all of it was good but the song “Get the hell out of My store Hippie” was worth the $9.99 at Walmart.

A quick tip on how to create custom pin drop location symbols actually pointing at the longitude and latitude in Tableau.
Custom shapes are a great way to improve your visualisations in Tableau, one of which are pin location symbols to point at a postcode or location in a map.
However, Tableau shapes are setup to be at the centre of your location and thus your pin would be slightly off the point you’re trying to visualise, especially when changing the size of the symbol. There is an easy way to circumvent this by making sure the bottom point of your pin is at the centre of your image. Thanks Andy and Carl for ‘pointing’ this out!
Check out the difference it makes in the GIF below, on the top left a normal shape, on the bottom right a pin centred shape. The only downside this has is that your selection and tool tip will show up when hovering over the bottom transparent part of the symbol.
You can create pin drop shapes in your software of choice and place the pin to touch the centre of the canvas. Make sure to export it in a transparency supported format, like .png
Below a few example pin drop images I drew, feel free to save them (as .png) and use them yourself!

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has slammed his former clubs handling of appointing Arsene Wenger’s successor.
Former Gunners midfielder and current Manchester City coach Mikel Arteta had looked all set to be named as the North London club’s new boss, with some book makers offering odds as low as 1/10 for the Spaniard to take over at the Emirates.
However, Arsenal seem to have performed a last minute U-turn, with former Sevilla and PSG coach Unai Emery now expected to be named as the clubs new manager sometime in the next 48 hours.
Wright who was the Gunners all time leading goal scorer until his record was broken by Thierry Henry, has been a vocal critic of his former club over the last few years.
Speaking to the BBC the 54-year-old laid into the Arsenal board for how they have conducted their search for a new manager.
“Why have they strung Arteta along? Why not be honest and say: ‘this is what we are going to go for now.’
“Is it because of the public sway? It just seems really desperate.
“Arsenal getting in touch with Vieira for the manager’s job was tokenism. It’s embarrassing.”
Wright also described Arsenal’s pursuit of a new boss as like selecting food from a sushi restaurant.

Sources of Breeding Season Mortality in Canadian Arctic Seabirds
Keywords:Arctic, marine bird, mortality, predation, weather
AbstractIn more than 30 years of studies on marine birds in Arctic Canada, we have observed numerous instances of mortality of adults, eggs, and chicks that seem unusual when compared to known sources of mortality for seabirds breeding in temperate or tropical regions. The extreme cold weather and ice conditions of the Arctic might intuitively be expected to be a significant factor in mortality for these Arctic birds. While weather conditions led directly to seabird mortality, other factors, perhaps facilitated by typical Arctic climate features, caused more deaths. In this paper, we summarize mortality incidents that we have witnessed for nine species of Arctic marine birds, as a baseline against which future observations can be made. We also speculate on mechanisms by which climate change could increase mortality of breeding Arctic seabirds in the future.


Air Cav maintenance pilots help keep operations going
December 17, 2009
CAMP TAJI, Iraq - Keeping a helicopter airworthy requires a vast knowledge of the systems and components that make up the aircraft.
Maintenance test pilots go through specialized training on a particular type of airframe to gain a thorough understanding of how that machine operates. A combination of their training and experiences make MTPs a valuable resource in any aviation unit.
"A warrant officer out of flight school is just an operational pilot," said Chief Warrant Officer 5 Shawn Marrin, from Lantana, Fla., the MTP section chief and UH-60 Black Hawk MTP for Company B, 615th Aviation Support Battalion, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division.
"There are four tracks that a (flight) warrant officer will eventually be tracked on; there is the instructor pilot, there is the safety officer, a tactical operations officer and the maintenance test pilot," he added.
Marrin said the normal progression for an operational pilot that has been in a unit for a while is to find a track, either by the commanders needs or by their own desires.
"Usually they (MTPs) come from a background of maintenance - as an aircraft mechanic - and their specific goal, professionally, is to become a maintenance test pilot," said Marrin. "So they would let that be known to command and if the opportunity presents itself then hopefully they would get to go."
There are two components to the maintenance test pilot course; learning the systems and learning the MTP checklist.
"Knowing the checklist allows the MTP to run tests on different systems and verify whether the system passes or not," said Marrin. "If it does not pass then the MTP can fall back on the knowledge of the systems to quickly identify the fault and troubleshoot it to find a solution and fix the fault."
A MTP's experience can be used in many situations, said Marrin, which include finding solutions to a specific fault or conducting a general test flight on an aircraft once it has come out of phase maintenance.
"A general test flight is where we conduct a complete maintenance test flight checklist, doing all the checks possible for an airframe," said Marrin. "We do that after a phase because the aircraft is dissembled to a great extent and even if certain systems have not been touched, we still evaluate all of the checks to ensure that everything has passed before we send it off as airworthy."
"In most cases as a line pilot you will never do all the checks, so it is nice being a maintenance test pilot and being able to run through all of the aircraft checks on a general test flight," continued Marrin.
MTPs make an effort to share the learned knowledge through experience with each other to help understand the systems functions. Benefits of going to a fellow MTP for guidance can sometimes produce faster results than referring to the maintenance manual, said Marrin.
"Sometimes just the systems knowledge will give you the capability to identify the fault without going to the maintenance manual," said Marrin. "Sometimes the fault won't be in the manual so you have to rely on that systems knowledge and that is why we are taught about the systems in great detail."
The aircraft maintainers are able to fall back on the MTPs systems knowledge when an unforeseen maintenance issue arises.
"They (MTPs) are a book of knowledge ... they know a lot more than we do, generally speaking," said Spc. Casey Henson, from Dallas, a Black Hawk maintainer in Co. B, 615th.
"The MTPs make the final call once all the maintenance is complete," said Henson. "At the completion of a phase the aircraft will not return back to its company until they sign off on it."
As in most situations where knowledge and experience is depended upon, certain bragging rights come with being able to identify and fix aircraft issues.
Marrin loves his job because he gets to troubleshoot issues. He prides himself on finding the fault first - and being right.
"Sometimes it makes your head swell bigger I guess," he said.
"There is always a competitive camaraderie going on between the test pilots to see who can identify what the true problem is," added Marrin.
Even with the competition to display knowledge, all MTPs are working toward the same goal - maintaining the force to complete the mission.
"How well we do our jobs is how well we are able to identify if the systems are working well," said Marrin. "That ensures that when the line units get their aircraft they can have fault-free operations for an extended period of time."
"We want to have high operational readiness, and the better we do our job we can sustain a high operation rate," said Marrin.

Morrissey Stars in New PETA Ad
“Animals unfortunately haven’t yet worked out how to slip on a rubber,” says the British singer
Off the top of his head, Morrissey can think of one very important reason spay and neuter your pets: overcrowding in animal shelters.
The British singer brings attention to the ever-growing homeless pet population in a new ad for PETA, in which he wears a rescued tabby like a top hat.
“Despite the fact that they’re incredibly intelligent, animals unfortunately haven’t yet worked out how to slip on a rubber,” Morrissey said in a statement. “Which is why thousands of them are being put to sleep in overcrowded shelters and thousands more are desperately waiting to be adopted.”
The former Smiths lead singer wants pet lovers to do what’s right: protect their pets by having them fixed. “Letting cats or dogs have litters is tantamount to shooting shelter animals in the head since it kills their chances of adoption,” he added. “Please do the right thing and spay or neuter your animals.”

This September has brought us cooler temperatures and more rain than we normally experience in September. I’m grateful for that. We have begun planting our fall and winter garden but have much fore to do. We have very little left from our summer garden
We have random morning glories all over our garden. During the summer I pull them to keep them from choaking out the plants but when everything else dies, I just let them grow. I try to pull them before they set seeds. I love morning glories, I just don’t want them in the garden.
This is bed of buckwheat that we just turned under in preparation of planing garlic. We have serveral of these beds.
The basil is still growing strong. I’m hopeful to put up enough pesto to make it until next summer. Some plants have already gone to seed and we’re collecting the seeds to plan for next year.
I’m not sure if I mentioned we planted table grapes this past spring, but we did. The chickens ate one plant but the other 3 are doing really well – we put some fencing around them, I’m sure that helped ;-).
Our Meyer lemons are looking good. We don’t have near as many as we did last year. I’m not sure why, the tree actually flowered twice. I pruned it for the first time this spring, maybe that has something to do with it? But it’s given us 300lbs of lemons for each of the last two years so if it needs to rest the year, that’s ok.
Under the lemon tree is our chickens favorite place to hang out…
We have this chili pequin bush that is just loaded with chilis. Don’t let the size fool you, these suckers are spicy!
Why, yes, that is a watermelon plant growing in my front flower bed. It popped up a while back and I’m letting it stay. I don’t know that there is time to actually get a watermelon but it’s nice to have something in my front flower bed that the neighbor’s rabbits are not interested in. 😉
What’s happening in your September garden?

When Trevor not his real name came home a little early from a night out with the guys, he expected to climb into bed with his girlfriend. The teddy bear thing made me wonder if there was something in her childhood that went wrong. It doesn't make her a freak, nor is it a sign of sexual abuse. It really is more common than most think. That said, going fast and furious with a teddy bear to heavy metal music is the least of the oddities when it comes to the habits around female masturbation.

( adm: hey guys!! This is a little something I did to thank you so much for your support!!! When I reached 600 followers a while back, I gave Loup a new design and promised to upload Iggy’s and Igor’s new designs too, but I never got to do it. Now that I don’t have my laptop with me for the time being, I can’t do my work. Since all I can do is wait for it to get fixed, I got some free time so I decided to finally draw new designs for the three of them! I took the opportunity to change Loup’s look again, and while it didn’t turn out exactly how I expected it to, I still see potential to perfect it.
This new look of theirs isn’t just for show, though!! These are the outfits they will be using in the sequel!! I’d also like to say that America, China, the Axis, Canada, Prussia and a few other characters have already got their own 2P design now! I’ve been working pretty hard on the story and character designs for some time, and everything is progressing really well. I’m almost done planning out the entire step by step of the game. All I need is to have time to do the coding, mapping and art. This is not confirmed yet, but depending on how things go, I might try to add animated scenes in the game as well!! I still haven’t decided on a name for it yet, but Please look forward to the sequel!!)


|Workers of EVN Hà Nội. EVN plans to reduce its production costs this year by VNĐ3 trillion. — VNA/VNS Photo Ngọc Hà
HÀ NỘI — Deputy Prime Minister Vương Đình Huệ has asked the national power company, Electricity of Việt Nam (EVN), to propose tariffs based on true production costs this year.
The move aims to ensure EVN’s profits and create favourable conditions to attract investment in renewable enegies, and at the same time to curb inflation, Huệ told EVN representatives in Hà Nội on Wednesday.
EVN should also clarify the results of its restructuring process of the past few years and its upcoming plans, including privatisation, divestment, building a competitive power generation market, human resources and technologies, he added.
EVN calculations show that its total production costs this year are expected to increase to more than VNĐ7.2 trillion (US$316.7 million) due to the fluctuation of coal, gas and oil prices.
EVN general director, Đặng Hoàng An, said earlier this year that some input costs, especially coal, have increased continuously since 2015 but have not been calculated into electricity prices. Coal prices which rose 7 per cent from December 2016 accounted for over VNĐ4.7 trillion of the total price increase.
However, EVN says it has set in motion a range of plans to knock off costs of about VNĐ3 trillion from the projected increase. Last year, total revenue reached VNĐ278 trillion, posting a 14 per cent year-on-year increase. All units reported profits in 2016.
The deputy PM asked the group to focus on balancing capital every year in the 2017-20 period to save at least 10 per cent a year.
The ministry, EVN and relevant agencies plan to complete the privatisation process of Power Generation Corporations in the third quarter of the year. The group is requested to review loss-making projects to ensure investment flows for its production and business. Modern technologies should be applied to reduce labour costs, electricity losses and increasing transparency in the power price calculation.
Dương Quang Thành, EVN’s chairman, said it would apply automation at all units, especially power transmission and distribution.
The Central Power Corporation has cut about 1,000 people from its payroll by installing two million electronic metres. — VNS

It appears that bureaucracy and reality seldom meet. On one hand, you have Slocan Valley residents reporting daily to the Resiliency Centre in Winlaw that they’re seeing fuel in their water. On the other, you have Interior Health lifting the total ban on use of water in the Slocan River watershed. Dr. Andrew Larder, Senior Medical Health Officer with Interior Health (IH), is the authority who must make such decisions.
“I lifted the order knowing full well that there was till fuel in some locations on the rivers,” says Dr. Larder. “The information I’ve been provided was that the amounts were relatively small and were localized in back eddies and log jams. The clean-up efforts would not release the fuel into the river because of the containment booms. Lifting the order was not a signal for people to stop paying attention and being careful. If they’re concerned about contamination of their well or their water supply then I recommend that they contact the number we supplied.”
Interior Health is having daily meetings with the Ministry of Environment to assess water samples that are being brought in. Dr. Larder says he lifted the water use ban progressively as information became available for each section of the river. “It was constantly being reviewed based on what the test results showed and what the clean-up was finding.”
Dr. Larder can’t comment on the clean-up since oversight for that comes from the Ministry of Environment. For reporters it’s an ongoing frustration that Provincial government ministries allow no access to staff biologists or other personnel working on the ground. Everything must be vetted through a Public Information Officer so that “messaging” is tightly controlled from HQ in Victoria.
And then there are the apparently competing and often confusing overlap of responsibilities between different government agencies. While Interior Health has no authority over environmental issues, it does have authority to issue evacuation orders. And while multiple-household water systems are governed by IH, single user systems aren’t regulated in BC at all. So Slocan Valley residents with wells will have to lobby Executive Flight Centre (EFC), the company responsible for the spill, for remittance of water testing costs charged by IH. EFC in this situation is also responsible for the costs of providing displaced residents with potable water.
“We will provide advice about testing and assistance in interpreting the results,” says Dr. Larder. “If a well is contaminated, we’ll talk to the person and advise them on the steps to take. It is homeowner’s responsibility for well testing costs.”
But this will be a definite hardship for many in this economically depressed region. And many—such as Recovery Centre manager Nelle Maxey—are questioning the wisdom of lifting the ban with so much evidence of fuel still in the water. It could also raise liability issues—there’s already a class action lawsuit underway against EFC and the Provincial government. While as Dr. Larder says, there’s no substitute for common sense, if someone goes swimming and gets sick after the water use ban was lifted, does this not make IH responsible?
John Wittmayer, former Volunteer Coordinator with the Resiliency Centre, is especially concerned that lifting the ban will let EFC off the hook, leaving residents twisting in the wind in search of clean water supplies. But so far EFC has been responsive to residents’ concerns.
“No one should be expected to drink it, let alone give it to her children,” says Wittmayer. “Meanwhile, Interior Health and the Ministry of Environment have deemed that the water is safe to drink, bathe in, irrigate their crops with, feed their family with, water their animals with. This is a travesty, and it is a criminal act condoned by the Provincial Government. It has got to stop now before someone else gets sick.”
RDCK Area H Director Walter Popoff says he has contacted Minister of the Environment Mary Polak and has been told she will visit the valley in late August or early September. Not bad—only 4–6 weeks after the spill. “From what I’m told, Interior Health is being advised about the water order from SNC Lavalin and Polaris,” says Popoff. “My concerns are with the continuation of support for the residents.”
• Anyone with specific health questions or noticing symptoms should contact their physician. Residents with concerns about food or drinking water should contact IH at 250-420-2220.
NEWSFLASH: Winlaw Fire Chief John Wollenberg has been suspended for not less than three months due to “insubordination.” Chief Wollenberg apparently refused to put his firefighters on traffic flagging duty the evening of the community meeting at Winlaw Hall July 30. The entire Winlaw Volunteer Fire Department has quit in solidarity with their chief. Fire services for the central Slocan Valley will be covered by the Passmore and Slocan fire departments. More details to follow in the next edition of the Valley Voice.
• Nelle Maxey has been hired by the RDCK to manage the Recovery Centre (formerly the Resiliency Centre) at Winlaw Elementary School. However, most of the staff has already been laid off and her contract is only for a week or until the Centre is closed.

If you’re currently planning your 2011 holidays and are unsure where you would like to visit, one destination that you should be sure to consider is France.
With so much on offer, it is the perfect holiday destination for a number of reasons.
Here, we look at 5 reasons why you should visit France for your holidays in 2011.
One of France’s greatest strengths as a holiday destination is its diverse and varied landscape. It doesn’t matter what type of holiday you are planning as France is able to cater to most if not all requirements.
If it’s a beach holiday you’re after, you may want to head to the Cote d’Azur (also known as the French Riviera) as it has fine sands, sparkling Mediterranean waters and beautiful surrounding scenery. There are other stunning beaches around France including those on the coasts of Brittany and Normandy.
Those wanting to ski can head to the French Alps and the Pyrenees. With some of the best skiing conditions in Europe if not the world, France is an ideal holiday destination for both skiing and snowboarding no matter what your experience and competence level.
Those planning to visit France for a city break won’t be disappointed as France is home to some fantastic cities. Paris is the obvious choice thanks to its famous attractions like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe but there are other French cities such as Lyon, Marseille, Nice and Strasbourg that are well worth a visit also.
There are plenty of other types of holidays available in France which means there is something to suit most if not all holiday requirements.
The pace of life in France obviously varies depending on where you are in the country but for the most part it is pretty relaxed and laid-back.
This in itself makes France a great holiday destination if you are looking to unwind and get away from it all.
The slower pace of life in France is the perfect setting for those wanting to recharge their batteries in a beautiful country abroad.
For the culture vultures out there, France is a great destination as it is laced in a colourful and chequered history.
Again it is Paris that many will initially think of when it comes to historical sites thanks to the likes of the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Palace of Versailles.
However, France has over 30 UNESCO heritage sites scattered across the country and not just Paris so there are plenty of other historical monuments and sites to see when visiting France.
Examples of things you can see include Roman relics which can be found particularly in Nimes and Languedoc and the Royal Saltworks which are found near Besancon.
France is renowned worldwide for its wonderful cuisine and some of the world’s best known and most highly regarded chefs are French. The country is home to famous restaurants such as Pierre Gagnaire and Le Chateaubriand and the quality of food served throughout the country is up there with anywhere else in the world.
Whether you visit one of these well-known restaurants or buy food at one of France’s many food markets, you can expect to be served food of a fantastic standard.
Dishes including moules marinières, coq au vin and bouillabaisse are just some of the dishes that were first introduced in France and are now served worldwide.
Any ‘foodies’ should definitely consider visiting France if they want to enjoy superbly cooked dishes; after all it was France that gave the world Michelin Stars so it’s safe to say they know a thing or two about good food.
France is almost famous for the wine it produces and these are sure to compliment the fine gastronomy delights that France has on offer.
Another of the things that France is famous for is shopping, particularly when it comes to fashion.
Paris is the most renowned shopping city in France and it has an array of fashionable shopping outlets. The Champs-Elysées is especially famous for this and it has a range of boutique stores which sell the latest fashion items from world-renowned designers.
As well as these boutique shops there are also markets that are well worth checking out. One of the best known markets is the Saint Ouen Flea Market which is located just north of Paris and is home to over 2000 stalls selling a huge range of items including antiques, furniture, jewellery and many other things.
Amazing shopping experiences aren’t limited to Paris however and there are other destinations in France that also cater to all your shopping needs.
Cities worth visiting to shop include Lyon, Marseille, Nice and Toulouse.

Praying for England by Sam Wells
Book DescriptionPraying for England reflects on the role of Christian priesthood in contemporary culture, and comes up with some surprising and timely insights about its efficacy and importance. There are ritual and representative functions of the priest, it argues, which remain spiritually and socially vital, even - perhaps especially - in a society which ostensibly ignores the Church, or appears so pluralistic as to lack any religious cohesion. The priestly role as mediator before God of society's deepest pains, losses, joys and irresolvable anxieties is here reimagined, and brought freshly to life though moving narratives of pastoral encounter. Above all, the priest is seen as one who goes on 'praying for England' in decisive but often uncelebrated ways, prayer being the chief measure and test of the priest's representative role. This is a deceptively simple volume - theologically accessible but often deeply moving and profound. In it a new vision is sketched of how Christian priesthood can go forward today with humility, understated dignity, and spiritual power. It will be of special interest to English churchpeople in an 'established' setting, but is written no less with an ecumenical and international readership in mind.
