Kumbia golfer balances his two great loves
GOLF: Until five years ago, Kumbia Golf Club member John Van Schyndel spent every afternoon on the golf course.
The six-handicapper said he would be off scratch if it wasn't for the other passion in his life, his family.
"Before we had kids I used to hit a lot of balls," he said.
"The missus used to work late so I'd go down to the golf club after work."
The proud dad loves his family but with three children under five it doesn't allow any time to work on his short game.
"These days I only hit balls when I play in competition," Van Schyndel said.
"I'd be playing off scratch if it wasn't for my chipping."
The left-hander knows how good he could be, he just has to hit those impressive shots on a regular basis.
"On a good day I can play to scratch but you have to keep that consistency," he said.
Van Schyndel was preparing for the VW Scramble team event at Kingaroy Golf Club on Saturday.
The experienced golfer knows what it takes to succeed in the competition after finishing fourth in the national round of last year's VW Scramble final.
The Australia-wide event is a four-man ambrose competition where the best ball is taken after each person plays their shot.
The ideal team is one with a balance of experienced players and high handicappers.
After nearly 20 years playing golf, Van Schyndel said he tried to help the newer golfers without being over the top.
"I try to get the best out of them by directing them a little bit," he said.
"You don't want them to get too many thoughts in their head because it can affect their game."
Kingaroy Golf Club captain Steve Oliphant said the winning team in the club level VW Scramble moved onto the next stage in the national competition.
"Whoever wins today goes on to represent the club at the regional level of the competition at Pelican Waters Golf Club on the Sunshine Coast," Oliphant said.
"We have players today from clubs all over the South Burnett, including Nanango and Kumbia."
The 2019 winners of the VW Scramble at Kingaroy Golf Club were Shaun Hoffmann, Jacob Heidrich, Kieran Askin and Peter Hourn.

I sometimes wonder, if the most serious problem that the Romanian politicians have, isn't the cynicism. As a person that, through the position I had in the Government, I could better inform regarding the almost fabulous fortune of Adrian Nastase (and also of other high dignitaries), I had the opportunity to refer to some of the profoundly illicit movements through which, the ex-prime minister became rich (nowadays, president of the Chamber of Deputies). When he wanted, Mr Nastase briefly answered, that he obtained the impressive fortune as an inheritance; his wife's parents and aunts have been indicated as the rich and generous relatives. At the beginning of the year, when laying down the new fortune declaration, Mr Nastase announced us that he is one million dollars richer- 600 thousand cash, a land property and several paintings. Again, where from all this money? The same old answer: from his wife's aunt. Due to the fact that the high dignitary didn't offer more details, the journalists have made several researches and discovered that [15] the mysterious aunt has been a 97 years old lady, with a monthly retired pay of 100 EUR (very frequent in Romania), living in a modest one-room flat in a block of pensioners. Obviously, nobody believed the "explanations". The Prosecutor's Office has announced verification, but the experience from all these years tells us to be pessimists this time too. And this thing, due to the fact that, many of the Mrs. Minister of Justice- even herself- had and still have, themselves, problems similar to the ones of the Opposition's leader. During the last year, for example, the prime-minister has become richer, over night, with almost half million euros [16], so that, recently, the vice-prime-minister-business man George Copos, the Home Affaires' minister, the vice-prime-minister Marko Bella, the minister of Justice or the President Basescu, to announce us that they have also, substantially, increased their fortunes [17]. Concerning Nastase's "spectacular" self-suspension from the position of executive president of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) (but not from the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies!), I am afraid that will not mean a big thing. As along as Mr Nastase's party is, deeply corrupted- and the whole political class, all the same.
These are the reasons why, the "fight against corruption at high level" should mean, before everything, the fight against such defiant, cold and calculated behavior, entirely unbelievable in a country aiming to integrate to the civilized world. No matter how blinded, by their rapaciousness, the politicians are, they cannot avoid seeing the deeper gulf between their fortunes, often measurable in tens millions of dollars, and the more humiliating poverty of a big part of their co-nationals. And, if they see it and still don't care, only cynicism can explain such a thing.
I was surprised to see that, in the recent discussion about the officials' fortunes and their declarations of fortunes, nobody talked about the missing, among other, of one of the most important objectives of the National Anti-corruption Strategy (adopted by the Government Decision no.231/2005). For almost half a year, in Romania should have been founded and should activate the National Integrity Agency - whose attribution would have been to deal with the control of the officials' incompatibilities, declarations of fortune and interests. This thing has happened especially due to the lack of professionalism of the Ministry of Justice in elaborating the project of law based on what, the above- mentioned Agency should have been founded [18].
Wanting to gather evidence for the present lines, I have followed the last year's collections of some central newspapers. I was especially interested in the anti-corruption measures, "at high level", that the present governance took, after coming at the governance. What have I concluded? A chronicle very wealthy in spectacular measures adopted by the General Prosecutor's Office and by the National Anti-corruption Prosecutor's Office. I reproduce a small par of this impressive chronicle: the president of Gorj County Council, Nicolae Mischie, is convoked at the Prosecutor's Office of the County Law Court and investigated (27th of January 2005); the president of Vrancea County Council, Marian Oprisan is convoked and investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (PNA; 2nd of February); the former mayor of Bacau, Dumitru Sechelariu, investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (4th of February); the Prosecutor's Office makes investigations concerning the houses of the president Basescu (23rd of February); the ex-minister Serban Mihailescu is going to be brought at the Prosecutor's Office, accompanied by the police (10th of March); the ex-minister of Public Health, Ovidiu Branzan, investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (19th of March ); the liberal leader, Dinu Patriciu, official accused of businesses with dirty money, fiscal evasion, and fraud (30th of March); the ex-minister Dan Matei Aghaton, investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (12th of April); the mayor of Constanta, Radu Mazare, investigated by the National Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (27th of April); the ex-minister Dan Ioan Popescu, investigated by the General Prosecutor's Office (13th of August); the ex-minister Miron Mitrea has been convoked by the National Anti-Corruption Department (the former PNA, 3rd of November). Until the last year's autumn, the television channels made big shows around the coming and the leaving from the National Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office of the investigated ones. And, as we were all expecting, this year has also passed and the" fight against corruption at high level" hasn't brought at least one concrete result. For about one or two weeks, having the European Report from May very close, at Mrs. Macovei's Prosecutor's Office a new show has begun. This thing makes me suspect that the ones leading us have no sense of ridicule anymore.
In the spring of the year 2004, I registered at the National Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, two notifications containing founded indices that many leaders of the Social Democratic Party, at that time at governance, have been involved in frauds of tens millions euro from PHARE funds (the ex-minister Hrebenciuc, Mihailescu, Cozmanca and the brothers Sechelariu- one of them, mayor of Bacau, the other, the State's Secretary). As I was almost expecting, until the leaving of the Social Democratic Party from the Governance, I got no answer. But, after that, I also got no answer. Thing that, sincerely, I wasn't expecting to.
Despite the fact that the country is grinded by "big corruption", in Romania, the problem is still the same: none of the high officials has been convicted for corruption. And how could this thing happen when the Justice itself has a lot of problems. All these things seem to already tell us that, at the end of this governance, the fight against corruption will probably be the same as in the former governances: a big joke. In a country in which- there are evaluations to what I have referred in these pages- the consequences of the corruption, after 1989, are measured in tens billions of dollars. This is the reason why, I think the May Report of the European Commission offers to the Union one of the last chances, if not the last one, of saying, straight open, to the political class from Bucharest that in Europe can integrate only the countries governed by responsible and integer persons, not by the opposites. In this moment, I am sincerely afraid that any other attitude will be an unfortunate one for everybody.
It will be, of course, unfair, not to observe the efforts that the minister of Justice has made in his area. And, despite this, after more than one year, it's true, the first from the four of his mandate, the results are minimal. Although, she has enough legal mechanisms at her disposal, Monica Macovei did, for example, extremely few things for the reformation of the Prosecutor Offices. Due to causes that are not very clear to me, the agenda might has missed or might has been one in which the priorities have been classified in a bad way. Being given the legal prerogatives, the minister of Justice, couldn't have resolved anything through the permanent conflict that had less horizon with the Superior Council of the Magistrature - a sort of a "strange war", seeming to especially have a price of image. In this first year of her mandate, the minister of Justice has missed an important component of the juridical system reform- the reform of the Prosecutor Offices. I think nobody doubt the fact that, concerning this chapter, would have been enough things to do, including regarding the public prosecutors' professionalism, their "resistance" to corruption and to the political influences (the situation inherited form the Social Democratic Party still remained deplorable). Could Mrs. Macovei have had, in this first step of juridical reform, a greater ally than the constitutional norm that settles that "the public prosecutors perform their activity under the authority of the minister of Justice"? And, however, in the year that has passed since the public prosecutors "perform their activity under the authority" of Mrs. Macovei, in order to give only this example, none of the files of "corruption at high level" hasn't been sent in front of the courts of law (in exchange, have been closed both files belonging to the president Basescu - "the Navy" and the one concerning the house he sold to himself when he was the mayor of Bucharest).
Unquestionable that, the matter of CSM and of the judges' activity was and still is essential. The problem is only that Mrs. Macovei could have also settled here objectives according to what the Constitution allows and that should not distract her from her usual obligations. At the end of the last year the minister of Justice gave bonuses to the judges. This thing seems arguable to me, due to the fact that the Government is not the body entitled to decide which of the judges deserves rewards and which doesn't, but the CSM, as an authority with exclusive competences in the matter of the judges "professional careers". In order to give only this example, of confusion and of a "mixture" of plans, the minister of Justice shouldn't have dealt with the evaluation and the rewarding of judges, but with the un-satisfying activity of the general prosecutor Ilie Botos and with his cancellation- a decision that everybody expected at the same time with the leaving from Governance of the Social Democratic Party. Finally, in order not to continue anymore, the two changes of the laws of justice, that Mrs. Macovei has initiated during half a year [19], seem to me that, related to the "costs" and to an agenda that should have been extremely "limited", haven't brought anything else but some insignificant gains (I remind that in The Country Report on 2004 including the EU appreciated the quality of the above-mentioned laws, insisting on the urgency of their implementation).
PS I have just finished the present lines and I was preparing to send them to the editorial office, when in the press form Bucharest, a new bomb has exploded: a group of interests around president Basescu and his party receives contracts of tens million euros from the Bucharest's mayoralty [20]. If the sickness of something would kill, then dozens of Romanians would be dead. (New York Magazin, January 25, 2006)

The CMD line in a Dockerfile defines the default command to run when a container is launched. If the command requires arguments then you need to use an array, for example ["cmd", "-a", "arga value", "-b", "argb-value"], which will be combined together and the command
cmd -a arga value -b argb-valuewould be run.
An alternative approach to CMD is ENTRYPOINT. While a CMD can be overridden when the container starts, a ENTRYPOINT defines a command which can have arguments passed to it when the container launches. The default ENTRYPOINT is "/bin/sh -c" so even if we don't define in the Dockerfile.
Lets do this with an example
Dockerfile – Using the busybox as base image I have copied the scripts. Here the entrypoint is "shell" which is executed always. Next line is command "echo.sh" so if we do not override it then "echo.sh" will be executed.
Lets see what we have in the scripts – "echo.sh" prints FROM CONTAINER and "run.sh" prints the list of files.
Time to build the image and run the container

I don't think I stand alone in suspecting that the large-scale, severe portrait paintings of historical figures found in great numbers throughout private and public collections in the UK fail, at times, to excite a visual or intellectual response from the viewer. Of course, I am not talking about historical portraiture as a genre, to which some of the most enigmatic paintings in the history of art belong, but about those dusty, larger-than-life paintings featuring ugly men in wigs with names and professions that no longer hold any meaning for the average present-day viewer.
The full-length portrait of Dr Richard Mead (1673–1754) in the Foundling Museum, painted by the Scottish painter Allan Ramsay, comes dangerously close to falling into that category.
Vast in size, the painting shows an elderly bewigged sitter dressed in academic robes, posed portentously among classical sculpture and scarlet hangings. Fit to burst out of his brown buttoned-up undercoat, the seated figure gestures towards a letter beside two large volumes bearing the words 'To Dr Mead'. While there is no doubting the technical brilliance of the picture, I suspect that the standardised composition and iconography do not invite contemplation beyond a quick once-over from most viewers.
I first came to know of the painting while working as a volunteer at the Foundling Museum. The work had recently made its return to London from the Hunterian Art Gallery in Glasgow, where it had been on loan for the exhibition, Allan Ramsay: Portraits of the Enlightenment, which ran from 15 September 2013 to 5 January 2014. I'm ashamed to admit that my initial response to this information was surprise that someone had paid to have that huge canvas shipped up to Scotland and back again in order to include it in their exhibition. I had to be missing something. Perhaps it was worth looking beyond the wig, and trying to understand the significance of the painting's presence in its permanent location, as well as the need for it to be included in an exhibition about the artist that had painted it.
Richard Mead was a leading London Physician who was court doctor to Charles II and helped to establish the Foundling Hospital, later becoming a Hospital Governor and medical consultant. This explains the painting's place in the Foundling Museum collection, to which the portrait was donated in 1747. It is fitting that Mead should be remembered in the form of a painting, rather than any other kind of memorial, for he was an important patron of the arts and amassed a collection of paintings, drawings and antiquities impressive enough for one contemporary to describe it as his great 'Temple of Nature and Repository of Time'. Mead was one of the first English collectors to own works by Guercino, and the catalogue for the auction of his collection that took place after his death records two paintings by Watteau (one of which is The Italian Comedians, c.1720, National Gallery of Art, Washington), possibly commissioned directly from the artist.
As well as befriending Watteau, Mead associated with the luminaries of the day, including the scientist Edmund Halley, the poet Alexander Pope, and artists William Hogarth and Allan Ramsay, who would attend the dining club hosted at his Great Ormond Street home. For a young artist like Ramsay, Mead was a good contact to have. Rich and well connected, Mead introduced him to Grand Tour Society and provided exposure for his portraits, having commissioned an initial portrait from him in 1740 prior to the Foundling Museum one, now on display in the National Portrait Gallery. Mead was clearly someone that enjoyed being portrayed; a total of 9 portraits of him in various mediums are found in the NPG, while the main repository of his portraits is in the Royal College of Physicians, where a marble bust by Roubiliac is conserved, commissioned after Mead's death by fellow physician and collector, Dr Anthony Askew.
Knowing something of Mead's life, his interest in the arts, particularly in his artist contemporaries, and significant contribution to medicine enables us to reflect differently upon Ramsay's portrait. The uncompromising figure in the portrait is endowed with a personality and a history, which in turn imbues the painting with added meaning. Meanwhile, knowledge of the numerous other portraits of Mead provides a sense of the network of relationships that made up the collector's social circle, as well as an iconographical context for the present painting.
So the next time you come across one of those intimidating, sombre portraits of an unknown historical figure, why not stop and wonder whether there is more to the sitter than initially meets the eye.

Sangareddy: In an endeavour to provide better road connectivity to all tribal 'thandas' in Sangareddy district, the district administration has directed officials concerned to conduct a detail survey to find out what kind of road connectivity each tribal habitation has at present.
In a review meeting with various wings of district administration at his chambers on Wednesday, Joint Collector Vasam Venkateshwarlu asked each mandal parisath development officer about the number of 'thandas' located under their purview and the kind of road connectivity they have.
Venkateshwarlu asked them to send the list of habitations having road connectivity furnishing the details such as whether the 'thanda' was connected with cement concrete (CC) road or black top (BT) road or gravel road or no road at all. He directed them to prepare proposals for laying roads to 'thandas' not having any road connectivity at present. "The State government aims to improve the infrastructure facilities around all tribal habitations to improve the lives of tribals," he added.
He said that better road connectivity would not only help the tribal people to market their produce in urban areas and it would also provide access to both residents as well as outsiders. Since the State government has plans to covert tribal 'thandas' with over 500 people into 'gram panchyat', laying of roads is being seen as the first step towards development of these remote 'thandas'.

By Michael McHugh and Q Radio News
Many thousands of people may already have coronavirus in Northern Ireland, the chief medical officer warned.
Testing will increase to more than 1,000 a day by next week - and that will help give a better idea of the infection's spread, Dr Michael McBride added.
Around 40,000 of the most vulnerable are to be written to by their GPs, urging them to be extra careful and stay at home.
Dr McBride said: "At this point in time, I suspect there are many thousands of individual cases in Northern Ireland."
He reiterated the importance of social distancing and good hand hygiene.
Three deaths linked to the virus have been recorded since Tuesday, the Public Health Agency (PHA) said. Another 37 people tested positive.
It brings to seven the total number of deaths from the outbreak.
Some workers at the Moy Park poultry producer in Northern Ireland walked out for a period on Wednesday because they hold safety concerns linked to Covid-19 and social distancing.
The company said it was taking their welfare seriously.
Stormont's first minister Arlene Foster and deputy first minister Michelle O'Neill called on non-essential employers to close - and if they had to remain open, to take steps to ensure staff safety.
Mrs O'Neill said she had seen vans full of men going to work on Wednesday.
She said: "That is not acceptable, that is not safe so that needs to be stopped."
Mrs Foster said those working in food production were extremely valued and urged their employers to look after them.
She added: "We need them to make sure that their employees are safe, not only safe but that they feel valued.
"We want them to continue to be able to provide food in this very difficult time."
Health Minister Robin Swann predicted there would be many more deaths.
He said: "That is the reality that is haunting us all during every waking hour, but we can reduce that death toll."
A pastor who contracted coronavirus said he felt like he was taking his last breath.
Mark McClurg, from Co Down, has been in the intensive care unit at the Ulster Hospital near Belfast for a week, but will soon be moving back to a ward.
He told the PA news agency: "It just feels like you are taking your last breath, the pain that you have all around your lungs.
"Coronavirus wants to kill you. It wants to take all the life out of your lungs so that you cannot even breathe."
A new centre for assessing suspected coronavirus cases is opening in Londonderry in a bid to prevent hospital wards becoming overwhelmed.
The unit will be based at Altnagelvin Hospital and staffed by GPs.
Patients will be assessed in an out-of-hours urgent care building, and if necessary transferred to specialist wards.
Dr Tom Black, chairman of Northern Ireland's British Medical Association (BMA), said: "This has been shown in Italy and other countries that this is how we save lives."
The triage service is designed for those who are moderately ill and do not need an ambulance to get to hospital.
It is the first of 13 similar centres being established in Northern Ireland, enlisting the expertise of GPs while reducing the pressure on hospital beds and intensive care units.

We're offering you the very best quality lighting solutions online
Wednesday, 27 September 2017 16:01:13 Europe/London
Photograph from our customer Burnham Landscapes
Supreme Landscaping Products continues as one of the UK's fastest growing online landscaping products distributors to look at providing growth within our comprehensive range of quality gardening, landscaping and outdoor lifestyle products.
In our continued search for the best possible landscaping products for our online customers across the UK which include DIY enthusiasts, landscape designers, landscapers, builders and developers, we got our team together and questioned what additional products we needed as a priority to provide a more complete range.
We have done well over recent months adding a huge selection of top quality planters, a great selection of sheds, garden offices and outbuildings and some new top selling products from other suppliers, but we don't tend to rest on our laurels.
The conversation developed and among the top choices of products came outdoor lighting.
Fortunately, we recently met with Lumena Lights Ltd. at Glee exhibition and we were very impressed with the high quality of their products, their traditional and digital business model and their professional approach to customer service.
Based on that successful meeting, we can now announce that we will soon be offering a full range of Lumena's lighting products online; these will include, traditional and modern lanterns and pedestal lights, brass and copper feature lighting, commercial and residential bollard and path way lights including photocell lighting, security lights, flood lights and a whole lot more.
Here's a sample of what's on offer:
Now that's the kind of light that can add a little ambience, isn't it?
These quality directors spotlights are to be listed on our website very soon and there's lots more to choose from, including a range of slat lights, eye lights and spike lights.
You might ask why we decided on lighting rather than any of the other multitude of landscaping, building and DIY products that would fit well with the demands of our online customer base?
The answer is fairly simple: Not only does good lighting provide the perfect finishing touch to any good landscaping design project, as highlighted above, but Lumena Lights Ltd. provide an excellent and very comprehensive range of products.
So we can now offer the entire landscaping product range, yes that's right, from the initial design basics such as paving slabs, paving compounds and sealers, to decorative stone and rocks, paving grid, garden furniture and ornaments, water features, patio and decking planters, garden sheds and outbuildings and now, garden lights and outdoor lighting solutions including bollards and path lights.
Our experience over the years has shown us that good quality, well planned and well placed lighting, can turn a good landscaping or gardening project into something very special.
Looking at the superb photograph above it's clear to see that good lighting can make such a difference.
Let's consider what we can achieve with good lighting:
Paths and pathways: A well-lit path or pathway whether it's at the front or the rear of a property always create a welcoming feature, not only does it provide illumination that extends hospitality to guests and but it also makes walking more secure. Downlights are often a good choice and will prevent glare and of course, individually lit pavers can also be used to create a suitable result.
Driveways and parking areas: Whether you have a long or more modest driveway a low-voltage lighting option is often a good choice. If you are fortunate enough to have a long driveway various feature lights or even secluded light amongst the landscape could be a good choice.
Property entries and exits: Whether you are a traditionalist or in favor of a little modern chic well place lights either to each side of a door or overhead at front or back entry doors can create an ideal scenario and at the same time provide added security
Decking, patios and pool side lighting: The best possible illumination on decking or patios is essential as these areas tend to attract the most footfall and areas such as BBQ's s and seating areas call out for very specific lighting.
Gazebos and pergolas: Well placed, stylised lighting is a great way to highlight an interesting aspect in the outdoor landscape. This idea works well with gazebos, pergolas and of course, spot lights work so very well with trees and bushes.
Architectural features: Outdoor landscape lighting can be used to highlight any number of features from a statue, to a water feature, to a simple wall or even just a flower garden. Choosing the correct style of lighting can make so much difference to any landscaping design and that's why we will soon be offering such a broad selection.
As a company we're very pleased with our continued growth and whatever you needs may be, whether it's for a major landscaping project or merely a security up date at home, feel free to order online right now or call us for more information.
Please remember that we strongly recommend all electrical installations are carried out by a registered electrical professional.
Please feel free to share this excellent news via our Sumo social media share buttons, it really couldn't be easier.

Everyday is Halloween all heartThe mask of belive it All Together" is one of the maximum famous mask that we tend to put on.
everyday is halloween so easy to place this masks on, after which neglect you're sporting it. We need to appearance to the outside world as if the whole thing is best, we have were given it all dealt with, no problems, thank you very lots.
This one weighs loads, and may be very heavy to carry around. Even worse, it makes it very hard to invite for help.
|everyday is halloween
Putting this one onThe best reason for putting at the IGIAT (I've Got It All Together) mask is in a faulty attempt to address our personal insecurity.
Some humans raise this to the level of perfectionism and are mortified at any little crack in the picture. some picture remain our its everyday is halloween.
Putting this mask on othersAnother way this masks shows up in our lives is when we positioned it on someone else. Someone may also seem to us as if they've it all together so we label them that way.
Believe me, many years of running with humans's struggles tells me that every one folks struggles in some manner, normally hurting in the same places as all of us else.
Alternatives to the masksTake a chance and take it off. Take it all off. The mask, that is. Many times, demonstrating to others that we are human may be pretty endearing. Perfectionist tend to push people away.
I'm not suggesting being careless or irresponsible. I am encouraging being a actual live man or women, warts and all.

Shockwaves from the pope's surprise resignation announcement are continuing to be felt far and beyond the Vatican.
After his final public mass at St Peter's Square, many of the faithful spoke of their sadness but also their confidence that his decision would not hurt the Church.
One follower said: "We've lost a pope. He did a lot for the Church. He succeeded in putting together opposite sides within the Church, from the past and present, even if some want to add their own political interpretations."
"I think what the pope has done is great and good for him. This is an important moment in history and significant to see how a person in his position can take such a big step for the benefit of the Church," commented one Vatican visitor.
Euronews correspondent in Rome, Alberto De Filippis said: "This Ash Wednesday celebration has been different from any before. There's an overwhelming feeling of sadness over the Pope's resignation, a feeling that will linger in the memory of thousands who were at St Peter's Square."

Semi Truck Catches Fire
KSCB News - March 3, 2015 8:24 am
At 11:57 am Monday morning, Liberal firefighters were called to a reported semi fire at the intersection of Tucker Road and Kansas Ave.
First arriving units found the cab and engine compartment heavily involved with fire. The fire was controlled and extinguished in approximately 10 minutes. The driver of the vehicle escaped injury and fire damage was confined to the engine and cab. There was no damage to the trailer or contents.
The driver reported that after stopping at the light his check engine light came on and the engine died. After opening the hood he discovered a fire in the engine compartment. His effort to extinguish the fire with a portable extinguisher was unsuccessful. The fire quickly extended to the cab of the vehicle as well.
Also working at the scene of the fire were the Liberal Police Department and Street Department. All units were clear of the scene and in-service at 1:07 pm.

As I read through the candidate statements in the voter's pamphlet, I was struck by how well John Koster expressed an understanding of what should be the proper role of government. It is refreshing to see a candidate who can express such a clear vision.
To top it off, I have observed John Koster's performance as our County Councilman, and I know this is not just campaign rhetoric spewing out of some politician's mouth at election time. John has a very clear understanding of how county government works and has worked tirelessly to make sure constituents are being well represented. In addition, as a native born county resident growing up on a dairy farm, John has the utmost respect for the open spaces and natural environment which makes Snohomish County such a great place to live and raise a family. It is a difficult balancing act trying to ensure job growth which will support families and keeping the beauty and natural resources available for all to see and use, but John has managed to respect and represent both.
I believe the voters will be well-served to re-elect John Koster.
He's got my vote!

Ashfield District Council's Building Control Section was called out on Friday to deal with a dangerous structure at Romans, Annesley Road, Hucknall.
It has been necessary to close the road until temporary support and remedial safety works have been undertaken.
We can confirm that there has been a partial collapse of the roof structure at Romans. This is placing a load on the front wall of the building which is considered potentially dangerous.
The owners are arranging for scaffolding to be erected which will remain in position whilst other remedial works are carried out, however at this stage it is envisaged that half of the carriage way will be re-opened with traffic signals either end when it is safe to do so. All the road closure and scaffolding works are being undertaken in consultation with Nottinghamshire County Council who are responsible for the highways.
Our paramount concern is to maintain public safety and so the road will remain closed until we are satisfied the building has been made safe.
We are sorry for any inconvenience caused and would assure the general public that the road will be re-opened as soon as possible.

Crimsons fall in 11
Recommended Video:
CHATHAM — The Chatham Glenwood baseball team may go on to win the state championship.
Jacob Maton may go on to pitch in the major leagues.
But whatever the future holds, the Titans most likely will remember a sunny Saturday in Chatham when they almost lost to a Jacksonville team that grabbed the lead in the first inning and still led by two runs with one out in the seventh. Almost.
A two-run homer by Chatham's Todd Fowler in the seventh inning tied the game and forced extra innings, then a two-out, bases-loaded single by Graham Bender drove in the winning run in the bottom of the 11th as Glenwood edged Jacksonville 4-3 in the Chatham Glenwood Regional championship game.
No. 2 seed Glenwood, 30-6-1, will play Mount Zion in the Decatur MacArthur Sectional semifinals on Wednesday. Jacksonville ended its season with a record of 16-20.
"When it's your season coming to an end, it makes it tougher," JHS coach Cory Bunner said. "But I can't be any prouder of the guys, and how we battled. Again — against one of the best pitchers probably in the country, definitely the state … I can't be any prouder."
The shout from the dugout in the first inning was "Let 'em know we're here," and the Crimsons did that, jumping out to a lead just as they did against Sacred Heart-Griffin in the regional semifinals. With one out, Avery Dugan ripped a double to left field, then Drew Ezard reached on an error. The next batter struck out, but then Jack Rohn came through with a two-out double to drive in both runners and give Jacksonville a 2-0 lead.
Jacksonville scored again in the top of the second. Cole Reif singled, then went to second on a single by Ryan Maul. Dugan followed with a chopper behind the mound and beat the throw from the shortstop to load the bases with one out. Ezard was hit in the back with a pitch to force in a run and make it 3-0.

Maton went on to strike out nine batters, but the Crimsons reached him for 10 hits before he was lifted with one out in the eighth inning.
"We talked about just being aggressive early in the count, and we were able to do that and just take advantage of some mistakes," Bunner said. "Just trying to be early against him. He throws hard, so you've just got to be ready, and we did that."
Chatham scored a run in the bottom of the second. Kyle Werries led off with a triple on a ball that probably could have been caught, then scored on a ground out to short.
Rece Brackett led off with a double in the fifth and was stranded. Jacksonville also had a chance in the fourth. Dugan singled, then Ezard drilled a pitch to deep center field. Fowler went back, turned and leaped to backhand the ball before falling to the grass.
"We had a couple opportunities there throughout the rest of the game to kind of scratch another one across here and there," Bunner said. "We just couldn't do it. The center fielder makes an unbelievable catch to take away a run right there. Just tough."
Jacksonville left-hander Chris Murphy pitched a phenomenal game, giving up one run on six hits. He struck out five and walked three. Glenwood left the bases loaded in the first, left a runner on in the second, third and fourth innings, and stranded two in the fifth. Murphy retired the side in order in the sixth.
"I thought we made plays and gave ourselves a chance, an opportunity," Bunner said. "Chris — going into it, I woulda been happy with three innings from Chris, and he just pitched the heck out of it to get six innings in and just allowing a run. I can't be more proud of how he pitched, especially as a senior. Super proud of him."
Bunner replaced Murphy with Ezard to start the seventh inning. Ezard was uncomfortable as he warmed up; there was a hole in the dirt on the mound where his foot normally lands. Ezard filled it in as best he could, but he wasn't quite right. He fell behind the first batter before getting him out on a pop-up, but he walked the second batter to bring up Fowler, who hammered a pitch over the left-field fence to tie the score.
Ezard walked the next batter but got out of the inning with a ground ball to short and a fly ball to right.
Murphy had thrown 98 pitches and was close to his limit.
"Going into it, we had planned on finishing with Drew," Bunner said. "He never got real comfortable in that first inning with the mound and whatnot. So I think he was a little limited on his pitch selection. It was really just one swing of the bat ties the game up. But he battled through after that and did a nice job the rest of the game."
Ezard stayed on the mound the rest of the way and wound up throwing 114 pitches.
Both teams had chances to score in extra innings. Jacksonville loaded the bases with one out in the top of the eighth. But the next batter lined out to the second baseman, who then threw to first to double off the runner there.
The Crimsons put the leadoff man on in the top of the ninth on a wild pitch on a swinging third strike. Glenwood reliever Gavin Wahlbrink got out of the inning with a 5-4-3 double play and then a strikeout. The Crimsons had runners at second and third with two out in the 10th, but the next batter struck out.
Chatham had its chances, too. A walk and a bunt single put runners at first and second with nobody out in the eighth. The next batter bunted to Brackett, who threw to the shortstop covering third for the force out. The next batter lined out to left. Ezard struck out the last batter to end the inning.
Glenwood went down in order in the ninth and 10th innings. Ezard struck out the first two batters in the 11th, but three straight walks loaded the bases before Bender laced a single to left to win the game.
It wasn't the way Jacksonville wanted to end its season, but winning 12 of their last 15 games, culminating in their effort on Saturday, will give the Crimsons something to look back on, too.
"We've got eight seniors who are going to be greatly missed," Bunner said. "We've got some young guys coming back that contributed for us. We're just looking forward to moving forward, and hopefully these guys putting in work — and kind of tasting it a little bit this year. And hopefully we can be back next year and moving forward."

Digital only banking platform Chime, the San Francisco, California based company has picked up a $200 million fresh funding as part of Series D financing which now values the company to $1.5 billion. DST Global led the fresh financing along with a clutch of new and existing investors that included Coatue, General Atlantic, ICONIQ Capital, and Dragoneer Investment Group, Menlo Ventures, Forerunner Ventures, Cathay Innovation, and others. The current round of capital infusion takes the total capital secured by the company to over $300 million (312.5 million). Chime last raised $70 million in May last year from Menlo Ventures.
The company plans to utilize the freshly raised funding to launch various new products in multiple categories that include credit building and short-term lending. The fresh funds will also be used to strengthen the current Chime team along with the leadership expansion. The company plans to take the team size in San Francisco to over 200 employees.
Chris Britt and Ryan King had launched the platform in 2013 after the duo realized that the millennial audiences were not into the traditional banking styles and that there was no need of physical branches of the banks. The platform offers "no fees" bank account. The company claims to have opened more than FDIC-insured bank accounts on the platform, making it the largest brand in the digital banking segment.
Britt, commenting on the capital infusion said, "We're excited to welcome some of the world's leading growth investors to Chime. Banking should be free, helpful and easy to use but traditional banks are reluctant to embrace this reality. We aim to set a new standard in the industry by using technology to create services that are truly aligned with the best interests of consumers."
