A revered Sufi saint and a Hussaini Syed of the highest order, whose entire life was a reflection of SHAR-E-NABAVI(SAW), whose every breath reminiscent of ZIKRULLAH, having undertaken Baith from the following four traditions (Silsila) – Quadri, Chishti, Nakshbandi and Rifaai. To his left lies the Mazar-E-Aqdas of his wife HZ. SYEDA HABEEBUNNISA (RA) fondly referred to by pilgrims as AMMAJAAN. The Dargah Shareef is situated in Rahmatabad / A.S.Peta, which is one of the most visited place in nellore. It is 53 km from Nellore and 10 km from Atmakur. Hazrat Syed Nayab-e-Rasool spent his whole life in teaching the qualities of islam, sunnah, Love and humanity. He was a great sufi saint who rendered great services to humanity and mankind through out his life and gave the message of peace and thought good preachings of islam irrespective of caste, creed or colour. It is one of the unique place where Hindus and Muslims blend together and stand as an illustration of National integrity. He even arranged funds and send to madina shareef for the development for the sake of islam for educational institutions and at the time of crisis to serve the humanity. Hazratha Amma Jan Saheba rendered great khidmath to Hazrat Syed Nayab-e-Rasool. Historically Sarkar Nayabe Rasool is referred to as Hazrat Haji Syed Khwaja Rahmatullah (RA) Nayabe Rasool and is counted among the Hussaini Sadaat's (Descendants of the great Hazrat Syedna Imam Hussain Razi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu). His father Hazrat Khwaja-E-Alam Nakshband Alaihirrahmah had migrated to India from Tauran (northen parts of Afghanistan and present day Uzbekistan etc.). Khwaja Rahmatullah's father upon his arrival from Tauran, stayed for a brief while with the Asif Jah (Awwal) and thereafter was appointed as the Qateeb at the Jamia Masjid at Belgaum (Karnataka). Hazrat Khwaja Alam married in Belgaum which was also the birth place of Khwaja Rahmatullah. His (Khwaja Rahmatullah's) date of expiry has been given as 26 Rabbi Ul Awwal 1195 Hijri which translates to 1781 AD in Georgian Calender. His age has been given as 90 Hijri years and thus his year of birth can be counted back to 1105 Hijri (1694 AD). Khwaja Rahmatullah took permission from his father and went to stay with his maternal aunt at Kurnool where he recieved his formal education and also took employment in the royal stable. Meanwhile he also visited Bijapur and took Baith from Hazrat Alvi Buroom (RA.). Later he performed Hajj (1151 Hijri/1737 AD) and also took Baith from Hazrat Ashraf Makki (RA) under the Nakshbandi tradition in Makkah Muazzamah from where he proceeded to Madina Shareef. After returning from Hajj Khwaja Rahmatullah stayed for a brief while at Kurnool and later went to Nandyal where he got married. From Nandyal Khwaja Rahmatullah came to Udgir Hill Fort and in 1748 AD bought some land and settled in Ana Samandar (Anuma Samudram) which later came to be known as Rahmatabad Shareef (named after Khwaja Rahmatullah himself). Hazrat Syeda Habeebunnisa (RA) was the second wife of Khwaja Rahmatullah and is popularly known as Ammajan by Hindus and Muslims alike. She was the daughter of the Nawab of Kurnool. In 1748 AD Khwaja Rahmatullah constructed a make shift mosque in Rahmatabad and named it Madina Masjid. Many people came forward to convert it into a permament structure but Khwaja Rahmatullah refused any help and later in 1762 AD he single handedly converted the makeshift structure into a grand one. There is an inscription on the forehead of the mosque which reads "This Stone Has Been Brought From Madina Munawwarah" but it is not certain whether Khwaja Rahmatullah had brought the stone himself or had got it through someone else. Khwaja Rahmatullah did not had any children through his second wife. His second wife Hazrat syeda Habeebunnisa had constructed a grand dome atop the mazar of Khwaja Rahmatullah after his expiry. She herself was laid to rest next to the Mazar of Khwaja Rahmatullah inside the same dome after her expiry. According to the book 'Bahr-E-Rahmat' at the age of 90, Khwaja Rahmatullah fell seriously ill and expired on Friday 26 Rabbi Ul Awwal 1195 Hijri (22nd March 1781 AD) after Maghrib at Udgir. At the time of performong Ghusl his heart was still in a state of Zikr which was witnessed by everyone present there. His body was then brought to Rahmatabad and was laid to rest in the courtyard of the mosque that he had built. Today, a grand dome adorns the Mazar-E-Aqdas of Hazrat Khwaja Rahmatullah Nayabe Rasool and Ammajan and is frequented by thousands of pilgrims irrespective of caste, creed, religion and status.
Every year on the 7th, 8th and 9th day of the Islamic month of RABBI-UL-AWWAL, the yearly SANDAL and URS of AMMAJAAN is celebrated with great religious fervor, while that of HZ. KHWAJA NAYAB-E-RASOOL is celebrated on the 25th, 26th and 27th of the same month.

Hamilton is the major population node in the southwest GTA (Greater Toronto Area). Most transit services in this quadrant of the GTA have stops somewhere in, or near, Hamilton, but there is a problem: these services often do not connect with each other.
I have long sorta' known about the disconnect in services, but the multi-nodal aspect of the problem never jumped out at me until working on the post about the disconnect between Hamilton and Niagara. Then, as I was creating a schematic map of the services in the area, the situation became obvious.
Essentially, the intercity transit arrangement around Hamilton is a collection of hubs. With the exception of Downtown Hamilton,* these are GO stations that are shared with other services.
*I opted to represent the downtown area as a single hub for simplicity. Most services use the Hamilton GO Centre, but otherwise express buses usually make frequent stops along King or Main. Also, some GO services use West Harbour Station instead of/in addition to the GO Centre.
Despite the convergence of multiple services in the Hamilton area, it is common for these services to call in to only one or two of the hubs. Given that the hubs are generally busy, it is certainly possible to access each hub from each other hub. This is not a You cannot get there from here issue. Instead, it is a Getting there from here is annoying and arduous issue. While some movements are facilitated, others are hampered by the need for multiple connections with unfortunate timing.
In the last post, I identified that it was needlessly complicated to get from Niagara to downtown Hamilton. This is also true of a trip from Niagara to McMaster University. More painfully, not being able to easily get to these places is a problem that compounds. This initial design flaw then complicates travel between Niagara and 1. Pearson Airport, 2. Cambridge-Kitchener-Waterloo, and 3. Brantford.
Remember this example – we'll come back to it.
I could also add Guelph to this list, but with the loss of direct travel between Guelph and anywhere in the Hamilton area, this is a trip that could effectively be seen as impossible. (Unless one travels into downtown Toronto and then heads back out again – imagine if our road network forced drivers to take such circuitous paths!?!).
Briefly, if we were to try and make any of the three complicated trips above using only regional/inter-city public transport, they would all begin with a trip on the #12 to a station in Burlington, either Burlington GO (train) station or Dundas/Highway 407 Park & Ride. From there, an additional 1-2 vehicles are needed to even get to one of the hubs that serves as a departure point (i.e., downtown Hamilton, Aldershot, or McMaster). Making these connections is not only an issue of number of transfers, but also the wait involved with each transfer. Since the #12 is timed according to the Lakeshore West (LSW) trains to/from Toronto in the east, transfers in other directions are often randomly timed.
An example of travel between Niagara Falls and Hamilton GO
With the new "12B" express buses, traveling between Niagara Falls and Burlington GO station has improved significantly. As to be expected with an express bus, travel times now rival the automobile, scheduled at roughly 1 hour to cover these 74km.
Despite this speedy first leg of the trip, things fall apart on the final 16km.
From a first glance at GoogleMaps, the trip on GO between Burlington and Hamilton is *only* 32 minutes – possibly twice as long as driving. We will return to those 32 in a moment, but first, notice the timing: riders arriving on that express bus from Niagara Falls are waiting 22 minutes at Burlington GO before they even move.
Now let's take a look at those 32 minutes. Of these, a quarter is again spent waiting, since the trip from Burlington to Hamilton GO typically involves 1) taking an LSW train to Aldershot, 2) transferring and waiting at Aldershot, and 3) taking the #18 bus to Hamilton.
Even though we are headed to a major transit hub, we need to pass (and transfer at) two nearby hubs before arriving. The total travel time is therefore stretched out to two hours.
Near misses
So why am I harping on this Niagara to Hamilton travel again? Let's go back to that Niagara to Kitchener trip and focus on one part of it to see why.
From an initial bird's eye view of the map, the most circuitous part of this trip is the detour via Mississauga. When instead counting time, and focusing more clearly on the segment around Burlington and Hamilton, we can see the inconvenience of traveling between these two.
Note that Google suggests taking Burlington Transit instead of GO, a move that gets the rider to Hamilton quickly enough to take the #40 express bus at 1:21 pm. As an irregular rider in this area, I feel uneasy with this option (especially with the flag "Use caution – may involve errors or sections unsuited to walking"). If it were me making this trip a first time, that transfer would be even longer than shown here because I would use GO.
What I instead want to focus upon is the way that the #12B and #40 buses pass each other within a few km, yet they do not connect. In the case of the all-stops #12 bus, it misses the #40 by even less – metres – with its terminus at the Dundas & 407 Park & Ride.
Viewed individually, the isolated hubs used by each route might make sense – by stopping somewhere in Burlington, the #40 would be slowed from its mission of connecting Hamilton & Pearson – but when seen from the angle of trips that GO does not support, the status quo is absurd.
Access to information is also holding us back
As my exemplar of the absurd – or at least painful – fall-out of the disconnected transit hubs in the Hamilton area, I drew primarily upon a Niagara Falls to Kitchener trip. When I started to build the example, I thought that Google would at least provide me with itineraries where the final leg between Hamilton and Kitchener was direct. It seems that for whatever reason, Google's algorithms do not pick up on these.
Since I know that Megabus makes that run (having crafted a southern Ontario bus map, n' all), I work backwards, looking for the departures from Hamilton GO Centre and McMaster.
Assembling the bits and pieces, shows that using either downtown Hamilton or McMaster leads to the same conclusion: departure from Niagara Falls at 1:43 (or 1:08, or 12:16) and arrival in Kitchener at 5:05pm. At 3 hours, 22 minutes, this is a full half hour faster than the fastest itinerary provided by Google Maps.
In addition to the complicated hub structure in the Hamilton area, things go poorly when a rider has to be a full-on transit nerd to devise an effective itinerary.
Is one central terminal in Hamilton the best answer to this problem?
To be honest, I do not know. And I have no intention of pulling out my crayons to fantasy map a silver bullet.
Nonetheless, I can see a few potential options, and a central terminal is one of them. Another is the creation of additional through routes which would increase connectivity and frequency. An additional alternative would be better municipal rapid transit as a connector; a point that I sidestepped in this post because of space. A final option – and this is one that would have a notable impact on us from Niagara – would be to have direct service to the hubs on the west side (i.e., downtown Hamilton and McMaster).
Meanwhile, Metrolinx seems to be passing off the notion that the Hamilton GO Centre is the Anchor Hub. This claim seems a bit confusing since it emphasizes GO rail service when much of this will use Hamilton's other station at West Harbour, and both stations are forecast to have rather low ridership (see pages 26-29, here). This confusing mix of messages does not leave me optimistic that this is a problem that is in the process of being solved.

text: My last two blogs have focused on the vowel sounds of English, so this week, let's turn our attention to the consonant sounds, (not to be confused with the consonant letters). Out of the 44 sounds which make up English, we've established that some are vowel sounds and some are consonant sounds. Of the 20 vowel sounds, five are long, seven are short and eight are diphthongs. This means there are 24 sounds left. These are the consonant sounds. These consonant sounds are produced by shaping the air using your lips, teeth, tongue and various bits of the inside of your mouth. There are sounds which explode from your mouth; sounds which employ friction; sounds which use a combination of explosion and friction and sounds which come down your nose, not out of your mouth at all! Next week we'll focus on the sounds which explode air out of your mouth. Until then, byee. J

I turned 40 a few months ago, but I'm still trying to learn some new tricks. I'm getting deeper into yoga and meditation, practicing being more chilled out, trying to apologize less, and generally owning my shit. It's up and down. We're still learning, ya know.
I'm also trying to learn how to make bread. This is not really something you can learn from books or TV. Bread making is tactile. Yeast is a living thing that needs attention. Bread dough can be different from one day to the next. It's a beast that I don't fully understand. We're getting to know each other. It's a process.
This Tear & Share Flower Bread is pretty approachable. It uses a mix of white bread flour and whole wheat flour giving it a hearty texture. It's sorta cute without involving any complicated braids. Don't be afraid. You can totally do this.
The petals are perfect for dipping into soup, and the center can be sliced for toast or whatever, or just torn off into hunks fr more dipping. Do what you want. It's gonna be tasty.
Let's do cool new things. Let's make bread. It'll be awesome.
Tear & share Flower Bread
10 servings
20 minutes
250 grams strong white flour, plus extra for dusting
250 grams wholemeal flour
1 (7 gram) packet dried yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
325 ml warm water
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
- In a large mixing bowl combine both flours as well as the yeast and salt. Make a well and add the olive oil. Stir in the warm water to form a dough.
- Turn out your dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for up to 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and stretchy. Add extra flour a bit at a time if the dough is too sticky.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap and allow it to rise for about 45 minutes or until it doubles in size.
- Punch down your down and remove it to a lightly floured surface for another couple of minutes kneading. Roll the dough into a long sausage shape. Divide your dough up about 60/40. Shape the bigger piece into a circle and transfer it to a baking tray. I lined mine with parchment.
- With your remaining dough, roll it out a bit more to make your sausage skinnier. Cut this into 11 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a petal shape and place them around the center ball of dough. If you want to get fancy, you can use a sharp knife to slash a few lines into each petal to make them more petaly.
- Cover your dough flower loosely with plastic wrap and allow it to rise for 30 minutes. While this is happening, preheat your oven to 200C (400F).
- Just before it goes in the oven, brush your dough with your beaten egg. Sprinkle your poppy seeds over over the middle ball of dough. Bake for 20 minutes r until golden brown.

Comprehensive William Keith Art Exhibit At Saint Mary's
With "Occupy" movements currently agitating our very urban inner Bay Area turf, it's perhaps a strange time to think about bucolic landscapes. But there's a good reason to switch mental gears, at least for a few hours, in the next month.
The expanded and renamed museum at St. Mary's College of California is hosting a splendid exhibit of the artwork of William Keith the prolific, famed California landscape painter—and once-notable Berkeley resident, I should add—of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The exhibit, entitled "The Comprehensive Keith", commemorates the centennial of the death of the painter in April 1911. It runs through December 18 and features well over one hundred of his oil paintings and some watercolors. Most are landscapes, but there's also a selection of his lesser-known portrait paintings. -more-

Regarding recent articles and letters about some of my social media posts, in this country we have something called the United States Constitution, which includes our First Amendment right to freedom of speech!
I happen to be an elected official who frequently asks questions, and chooses to exercise that constitutional right from time to time.
Moreover, in speaking my mind, I am not politically correct and hope others will speak their minds in an equally candid fashion as well.
Since I have done nothing wrong, I have absolutely nothing to apologize for, and assuredly will not consider resigning from my position as Barnstable County Commissioner!
Regarding the ongoing political harassment by others attempting to muzzle me by trying to force me to resign, I want to say that if my freedom of speech rights are successfully silenced by others, then their First Amendment rights are next!
Again, no, I will not apologize, and certainly will not resign.
In 2016, the voters elected me into office as one of their county commissioners. In November 2020, it will again be the voters who decide if I should stay or go.
That is our process, and that is as it should be.

THE PERSONAL IS HISTORICAL: Writing about the Freedom Ride of 1965
Decades ago, when I was a History student, we were told never to use the pronoun 'I' when writing history. The aim was to write a third-person narrative in such a way that the narrator remained hidden, unknown, unimportant. This stricture is still passed on by some historians, as students are told to focus on the narrative, the story they have to tell, and to keep themselves well out of sight or hearing in the text. Yet the idea and practice of foregrounding the narrator, the story-teller, the historian, is rapidly gaining ground. We are learning to use the once-forbidden personal pronoun as a means of writing history, foregrounding the existence of interpretation in general, and our own interpretation in particular. By saying 'I', many argue, we are not aggrandising but rather relativising ourselves, drawing attention to the possibility of other views, interpretations, and ways of representing the past, to the limited and contingent nature of historical knowledge. By saying 'I', we leave the reader freer to judge and weigh up the historical narrative we have offered, and ourselves the space to admit to what we don't know, or cannot figure out.
Sometimes, though, the use of 'I' is important for a more direct reason—our own involvement in the events narrated. In the history I am writing of the Australian 'Freedom Ride' of 1965, the issue of narrational point of view becomes critical precisely because I was involved in the events myself. I am writing a history rather than an autobiography or memoir, partly because my own role in these events is relatively small, and partly because the project relies on extensive historical research into the wider historical context. In the early stages of the project I agonised quite a lot about the problems of the ex-participant as historian, concerned about issues of objectivity, believability, self-justification, and the like. If we are writing about events in which we were in some way involved, can we develop a truly historical perspective, or will there always be an element of self-justification, however unconscious? Even if there isn't, will our readers think there is? As the research has gone on, I have become less and less worried by these issues, as the sheer quantity of historical research—written and oral—takes over. But I still have the problem of form, of how to represent my own involvement while telling a much larger story. This is the problem I explore here.
The Australian 'Freedom Ride' took place in February 1965. At that time, a group of 30 university students from the University of Sydney, none of them Aboriginal except for their leading figure, Charles Perkins, travelled in a bus for two weeks around country towns in northern New South Wales, protesting against discrimination against Aboriginal people. It was consciously modelled on similar events in the southern United States, where especially in 1963 and 1964 both black and white civil rights campaigners had travelled in buses campaigning for basic civil rights for African Americans. The Australian students met with high levels of hostility from white townsfolk, massive media coverage, and stimulated widespread debate and concern over race relations in Australia. The significance of the event has since been debated, some seeing it as a turning point in the challenging of institutionalised racism in Australia, some seeing it as only a minor aspect of a much longer and larger protest movement for Aboriginal citizenship and civil rights, and some suggesting it held the struggle for Aboriginal full citizenship and civil rights back rather than pushed it forward.1
The Prologue to my book on these events may begin this way.
Sydney University students were attacked by a mob outside Moree swimming pool this afternoon. Many were punched and their clothes were spattered with ripe tomatoes and rotten fruit. A youth was arrested for punching a student and another for assaulting a Press photographer … As the students left the pool another two men were arrested … Earlier in the day, 10 students were thrown bodily from the entrance to the pool. The Mayor of Moree, Ald. W. Lloyd, helped to carry one of them. The students returned immediately and the baths manager then decided to close the pool. The students then decided to stay until the pool was reopened. A crowd of about 500 local residents became more hostile as the students' demonstration continued. The students were sitting in the shade at the baths entrance while the crowd, kept back by the police, were jammed together under the hot sun. About an hour before the demonstration ended at 5.30 pm the secretary of the students body, Mr Jim Spigelman, 19, of Maroubra, was assaulted. He was knocked to the ground after being hit in the stomach and on the chin by two youths … Another student, Mr John Butterworth, 20, of Turella, had his glasses smashed. Other students, including girls, complained they had been burnt with cigarette butts … The crowd jeered the students and tomatoes and rotten fruit were thrown at the students from behind the fence.
The Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Moree and two other aldermen then held an emergency meeting inside the pool with three student representatives, Mr Charles Perkins, Mr Spigelman and Miss Patricia Healy. Twenty minutes later, the Mayor, Alderman Lloyd, announced that two of the aldermen had agreed to sign a motion to rescind a resolution on the council book discriminating against aborigines. The resolution, passed in 1955, states that no person being an aboriginal or having an admixture of aboriginal blood should use, occupy or be present upon the area known as the bore baths or any associated facility …
The students then decided to leave the pool. The crowd by this time was becoming more violent. The police offered to escort the students through the back gate of the baths, but the students refused. The jeering rose to a deafening pitch as the students walked towards their bus at the front of the baths. Policemen and burly council workers tried to clear a path, but the crowd closed in. Some students were punched and others hit with rotten fruit. The side of the bus was also splattered with fruit as police escorted it out of town towards Inverell. Many cars followed the bus out of town …
Well, I suppose the perspective I'd give to that story was having come from the United States a couple of years before where the Freedom Rides were just beginning to become popular, or as a means of protest, and of course this was an Australian imitation, just the use of the word Freedom Ride was taken from the Americans at that time. I was amazed at how absolutely unsophisticated and pristine this political movement was … How young they were and what they were trying to do, it was very imitative, and I don't think they realised what they were tapping in the Australian psyche. In my mind a lot of the protest was not over the Aboriginal issue so much as some of these people were wearing beards and they were university students and there was a lot of antagonism that I remember from Moree …
They tried to get into the swimming pool, they were knocked back from the swimming pool. And everybody was very uncomfortable. I mean Australians are not exactly demonstrative people and country people are not out there to cause trouble. This was so new to everybody and nobody quite knew how to act, that the people that were trying to protect the Moree baths—I think the mayoral faction as I recall—and on the one hand they wanted to be firm and on the other they didn't want to cause trouble … But I still think at Moree that anything that happened there was more a reaction to the snottynosed university kids coming up from Sydney than any Aboriginal presence.
I was at the State Emergency Service, talking to the Director, and some VIPs, when an urgent message came that there was trouble at the baths, and to come over. I left the function, and went straight over. You students were doing your passive resistance, obstructing entry to the baths, passive resistance came from South Africa I think. I had only a couple of council employees and the baths manager to help me. A huge crowd gathered. A lot of them were shearers, in town on a Saturday afternoon, a much bigger crowd than you would ever expect in Moree. The crowd grew, and it was very hostile to the students. There were Aborigines in the crowd, hostile to the students. It was a frightening awesome thing, a crowd out of control. I saw respected businessmen there, throwing tomatoes, eggs, and other things. I learnt then how awful a crowd out of control could be. The whole thing was getting out of hand …
The police refused to help, refused to remove the students from the baths, saying it was my responsibility and my problem. I rang two solicitors in town for advice, as I thought the police were obliged to help me, but the solicitors couldn't help. So I was on my own … I had to give all the instructions, the police wouldn't help. I found out later I shouldn't have had to do that, that the police should have helped. I arranged for the bus to be driven right up to the baths, and for the students to get on, with police assistance. We did it as quickly as possible, but there were still missiles thrown, and students were hit. The students got on the bus, and the police kept the crowd back from the bus. The police told the driver to get out of town, and escorted the bus out, so that no one would try and attack it. The police blocked all exits from the town, so no one could attack you students.
We went on to Moree, arriving at about 12.30 pm. We went straight to Thompson's Row, where the 'town' aborigines live. We found that that morning the aboriginal children there had been given swimming club tickets which meant that they could enter the baths at any time. The children from Bingara Rd and the Mission had not got these tickets, and were refused entry.
The Thompson's Row people obviously felt little or no sympathy for the other aborigines and were not prepared to fight for them. A case of 'divide and rule' as most of us soon realised. Then we went to the Mission. Bill refused to drive the bus onto the mission, so Charlie and Beth went … The manager wouldn't let them stay and so they only had time to ask about 4 or 5 of the kids to come along. Sue and Chris went in Bob Brown's car to get some kids from the Bingara Rd shanty town. We all congregated at the shop opposite the baths, and the bus left us. Very quickly a huge and noisy crowd gathered.
We had to wait quite a while before Charlie could take the children to the baths. There were 9 of them and they were refused admission. Then we all went to the swimming pool and lined up behind the children, continually requesting permission to enter. Charlie started talking to the crowd, but there was a lot of hissing and booing. Then he went to the front of the line and when he refused to move was grabbed and taken away from the line. Then John Powell, Lou, Beth, Alex, myself and a couple of others were removed by the mayor first asking us if we would move, us saying no (individually) and then they put their hand on our backs and took us away from the line. Chris Page sat down and was carried off.
Those of us who had been walked off were prevented from rejoining the line as we had intended. Angry discussion broke out everywhere. I have never met such hostile, hate-filled people. The hostility seemed to be directed at us as university student intruders rather than to the aborigines …
And the crowd came, hundreds of them. They were pressing about twenty deep around the gate. Then the police arrived. They had received instructions by this time from the Labor Party which was in power in New South Wales at that time, to lay off us. 'Don't do anything that will cause any controversy with these people. Go with them as far as you can', seemed to be government advice to the police … the whole of the police force from Moree and surrounding towns were called in … the mayor of the town rolled up. (Recently when I went to Moree he shook my hand and reflected on what a good thing the Freedom Ride was for the town. But at that time it was a different story.)
With my wife and family I was resident in the Moree district for many years both before and after that date. My wife and I were both active in the Moree Aboriginal Advancement Society and in church, school, and public affairs … The churches, the schools and the Aboriginal Advancement Society had worked for a number of years to bring about the easing of tension. The Moree Municipal council controlled the town baths, from where aborigines were barred. But those who favoured the lifting of this ban had after many years achieved a majority on Council and were planning to have the ban lifted. Then along came the Freedom riders. Such was the antagonism they engendered in the town and among the aldermen that the aldermen decided that they would not move at that time, not wanting it to be thought that they were being 'railroaded' into a decision. So they deliberately withheld their move for a few months. So what was then seen as being a result of the 'Freedom Ride' was in fact a decision delayed for six months because of the 'Freedom Ride'.
While there is a common emotional resonance to these accounts, they are told from different perspectives, and many of the details are different. I am one of my own sources, writing a diary as a 19-year-old participant, and again as an intrepid historical researcher many years later. I like the effect of these juxtapositions, and the challenge they provide to the reader. Yet collage of this kind, made up of juxtaposed quotes from my various sources, will not in fact form the dominant mode of narration in the book. While it needs a form of narrative that draws attention to its specific grounding in time and place and to the impossibility of a unified narrative, it also needs a story that is accessible, compelling and strong. In searching for the appropriate narrative voice, I have played with various ways of representing different points of view, as well as with anti-chronological organisation, theoretical asides, and much else. I have pondered the idea of representing different voices in specific typefaces, as Richard Price did in Alabi's World.2 I have played with Peter Burke's ideas of adopting some of the techniques of the modernist novel, such as the unreliable narrator or alternative endings.3
On a practical level, how can I refer to myself as an actor in an event that occurred in 1965? Should I say 'she' for the person I was, who no longer exists, or 'I'? (I've settled on 'I', as 'she' seems a little ridiculous.) Should the group of students of which I was one be referred to as 'they' or 'we'? 'They' seems unnaturally distant, a false objectivity perhaps, while 'we' is much too close, suggesting far too much unity between the historian and largely forgotten events of over thirty years ago. I'm working with 'they'. So far, the mixture of 'I' and 'they' is working out fine.
I have also had to confront the question of writing inter-racial history, a history of relations between indigenous and non-indigenous people in Australia, an ongoing history to which I belong on the non-indigenous side. There are ethical as well as stylistic problems, of finding a voice which is honest and true, which does not try to appropriate other people's stories, which embodies a full recognition that there is no objective space outside our racialised histories from which to write. In this context the reflexive 'I' becomes even more important.
In the end, I have adopted a reasonably straightforward narrative approach. My publisher has urged that I leave historiographical reflection to the end, and the marketing people have insisted that I keep a strong personal note, a strong authentic 'I' voice, if the book is to sell. The conventional aspects of the book include a rejection of self-consciously fictional elements, and sticking rigorously to my sources, whether these be written, oral or visual. I have settled also on a chronological structure; after the prologue I go back several decades, and move forward from there. I have only one typeface, and hope from the writing itself to do the job different typefaces achieve, that is to let the reader know about different voices, in some tension with one another.
On the other hand, the book does aspire to some postmodern elements. I have tried to foreground my own role as historian, former participant and writer. The chronological structure is disturbed by flashes back and forth in time. I have not seen it as possible to present a single explanation for the events I describe, preferring to present within my narrative a range of competing and possible understandings, each of which has validity if certain presuppositions are made. My own involvement, complicity perhaps, seems to make it all the more imperative that interpretation is left open, for others to disagree with or judge as they will.
And that is where it stands at the moment, with a whole lot written, and a book still in the process of emergence. Occasionally I panic that the project is so difficult, and my life so burdened with other responsibilities, that I will never get it done at all.4

How to Control What Ads You See on Facebook and Google
From Google to Facebook, the Internet's best websites are free to use. How can they afford that? Well, these "free" sites are actually showing you ads, which they charge advertisers for. When you click an ad, the free site earns money.
So if you like these free websites and want them to stay free, it's in your best interest to tolerate those ads. And you're bound to accept their existence more if they cater to your likes rather than your dislikes. So why not make the best of this situation and look at ads positively?
Why You Should Work on Ads
Although it's our first instinct, we're not going to complain about ads here. We're also not going to get into the whole debate about ad-blocking Publishers Need to Stop Whining About Adblock Ad-blocking seems like a natural option for any consumer because of a simple reason: it's an easy way to get rid of an annoyance. Read More here. This article is all about a positive spin: accept that online behavioral ads exist, companies like Facebook and Google use the information How to Stop Facebook From Selling Your Browsing Data Did you plan on sharing your browser history with advertisers? Because if you have been sharing your browsing history with Facebook then that's exactly what's going to happen. Read More they collect about us, and that they aren't going anywhere. They help run the free sites we love, and we're going to make an effort to make those ads relevant for us.
Before we start, there's one thing you should know. Facebook and Google don't offer ways to stop ads altogether. The options you get are "interest-based". What this means is that you can let Facebook and Google know what you like, so they can show you ads accordingly; or you can opt out of giving them any information, and they'll bombard you with online behavioral ads you don't like.
Either way, you will continue to see ads. In that case, doesn't it make more sense to see an ad that you'll like?
How to Make Facebook Ads Relevant
We've gone into the details of how Facebook advertising works How Facebook Advertising Works & How To Place An Advert If you've ever considered advertising on Facebook, but assumed it was completely unaffordable except for the largest companies and corporations, you may want to think again. If you've ever advertised on Google, using the pay-per-click... Read More . The same basic data is used to serve ads to you on other Facebook products like Instagram.
In its quest to show you ads that are more relevant to you, Facebook has been gathering information on you all this time, and has determined your "interests". Updating your profile is one way to control the Facebook ads you see Stop The Spam: You Can Control The Facebook Ads You See [Weekly Facebook Tips] Are you seeing irrelevant ads from Facebook? Here's why Facebook is showing you these ads and what you can do to influence them. Read More , but here's where you can add or delete interests:
When you're on this page, you'll see a bunch of tags marked as your interests. Click the "X" to delete that interest. "Undo" restores it. And you can search for more interests, or add more from suggestions for relevant interests.
Pay attention and mark the things you really are interested in, delete what you aren't. That way, the ads you see will be things that actually matter to you!
Control How These Interests Are Added
However, Facebook will keep automatically adding new interests to your profile. There's a way to stop this though. Let's dive into the Facebook Adverts settings to find out how at the ad settings page:
Adverts based on my use of websites and apps
This is how Facebook tracks your use of websites and apps that have a Facebook button. Turning it off won't stop Facebook from tracking you, but it will stop Facebook from adding these websites and apps as "interests". If you want to protect your privacy, there are other methods to turn off tracking How To Block Facebook And Other Social Networks From Tracking You Online Whenever you visit a site with a Like, Tweet or +1 button, you're actually sharing data with Facebook, Twitter or Google. And that's not all. There are hundreds of advertising and data collection companies that... Read More .
Adverts with my social actions
When you Like, comment, use an app with a Facebook log-in, or share a post, event, or page on Facebook, it counts as you endorsing that page and is again an "interest". Plus, then your friends can see this endorsement as an ad! It's part of how Facebook can use your photos You've Been Hoaxed: Facebook Can Still Use Your Photos You know that message your friends share on Facebook that declares the social network can no longer reuse your images? Although a hoax, Facebook actually can use your photos if and when it wants to... Read More even without your express permission. Want to switch that off? This is the option to do it.
Block Advertisers or Show Interest
When you see any advertisement in Facebook, you can interact with it immediately. Take your mouse cursor to the top-right corner and you'll see a little "X". Click the X to see three options:
Click the first option to hide it immediately, the third to indicate interest in ads like this. The second option, "Why am I seeing this?", opens up a pop-up window that tells you why Facebook targeted you with this ad.
In this, you can gain some additional control, like blocking all ads from the advertiser (in case that isn't of interest to you), or going directly to the advertiser's page and learning more about him. There's also a shortcut to your Advert Preferences page, which we talked about above, in case you want to make some more changes.
How to Make Google Ads Relevant
Google, Gmail, YouTube, Android, Maps and all of the company's other main services are completely free because of advertising. For that advertising to be effective, it's important that Google knows a lot about you How Much Does Google Really Know About You? Google is no champion of user privacy, but you might be surprised just how much they know. Read More , which is why it tracks your usage across the Internet. And like Facebook, based on that usage, it has a set of "interests" for you, which you can check out at:
There, you will see all the categories Google has marked as "Your interests". Uncheck any box to remove it as an interest, or click the "Add Interest" button to add a new one. Here's the full list of ad categories you can have as interests.
Along with that, add your gender and age if you haven't already. Go to aboutme.google.com to view your Google profile and update the options there.
Control How These Interests Are Added
Like Facebook, Google monitors your activity across the Internet using DoubleClick, an advertising tool, and adds more interests to your profile based on that. The Internet search giant is really persistent in how it tracks you and doesn't make it easy to say no. But there is an official way nonetheless.
Install the DoubleClick Opt-Out plugin and Google won't send a cookie every time you visit a site supported by Google's large network of affiliates. The plugin works for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
Similarly, signing into sites with Google+ logins Google+ Sign-In: Is It Bad Or Good For You? Users are beginning to accept the fact that Google may not be rolling back Google+ sign-in regardless of how much people hate it. But is it really as bad as you think? Read More also tells Google that you are interested in whatever that site is all about. So you might want to avoid that too.
Actively Interact With Bad Ads
Even after all this, sometimes, you'll see an ad that you don't want to see. It might be smutty, it might be an ad that covers the whole page you're viewing, or you just might find it irrelevant. Whatever your reason is, you can close that ad and tell Google why.
On any Google ad in any page on the Internet, the top-right corner has a tiny "i" for information and an "x" for close. Click "x" to close, and tell Google why you chose to close it. This interaction again helps Google in showing ads that matter to you.
The Digital Advertising Alliance and You
Both Facebook and Google are part of an organization called the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), which is part of how they mine information about you based on what you are browsing on the internet. With 123 companies in the DAA, you probably want control over its behavior. Unfortunately, not much is offered.
The DAA does not let you see your profile or control your interests. Instead, it gathers that data silently. Your only option is a similar opt-out program, which again will only reduce targeted ads, while you still get to see ads all the time and the companies are free to gather information about you.
Go to aboutads.info/choices and choose which of the companies you want to stop from targeted advertising. However, know that this only works for the current browser you are using. If you switch to a different browser, you'll have to go through the procedure again.
If you're on your mobile, the DAA has Android and iOS apps that you can install. But again, their effect is limited.
Better Ads or Paid Content?
Every time we talk about ads, it leads to a debate in the comments about ad-blocking. Let's avoid that this time. Instead, let's talk about the alternative: better ads vs. paid content.
Would you prefer that Google and Facebook started showing more relevant ads to you? Or do you want to pay for content instead of watching ads (like with YouTube Red 4 Reasons YouTube Red Is Bad for the YouTube Community Google just announced YouTube Red. YouTube is a different kind of service with a big community. So, is YouTube Red good or bad for the video site in the long term? Read More )?

Monte Carlo Yachts (MCY) has appointed Simpson Marine as its exclusive dealer in Southeast Asia in a multi-year agreement, providing customers in the region with professional sales and service support for its range of stylish and original Italian-designed motor yachts.
The agreement, which covers the whole of Southeast Asia, is a major step forward for MCY in growing its presence in the Asian market. Simpson Marine will provide a full range of sales and service support for this exciting new range, from its existing offices in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia.
"For some time, Monte Carlo Yachts has been studying the Asian market and we are excited by the opportunities we see," said Carla Demaria, President, Monte Carlo Yachts. "We believe the timing is now right to take this step and are delighted to be working with Simpson Marine as our strategic partner to develop the market across Southeast Asia. Simpson Marine has the experience, coverage and market insights necessary to bring the Monte Carlo Yachts range to customers across the region."
"The Monte Carlo Yachts range is an important addition to our portfolio of luxury motor yachts in Southeast Asia." said Mike Simpson, Group Managing Director of Simpson Marine. "This relatively new range of luxury motor yachts benefits from the unmatched industrial and financial strength of Beneteau Group, the innovative engineering and revolutionary manufacturing processes developed in the Monfalcone shipyard in Italy and the award-winning design features of Italian luxury yacht designers Nuvolari Lenard. This is a winning combination and I am confident that yacht buyers in Southeast Asia will be attracted by the stylish appearance and high quality of these Monte Carlo Yachts."

UK – Stage Engage has invested in Luxibel B Blinded1 fixtures for its growing film premiere and product launch events.
The pro AV and staging company, based in London and Exeter, was looking for an IP-rated, LED stage blinder solution for high profile projects such as the BBC Peaky Blinders Season 6 World Premiere, which took place in Birmingham.
"We were looking for a multi-purpose, high brightness, IP-rated fixture that we could use for a variety of corporate events, film premieres and product launches," says Cameron Baker, Operations Manager at Stage Engage. "The quality of the Blinded1 is very good and they have been super reliable. The connectors are great, the display makes sense and the quality of the materials is very good. Investing in them was a no-brainer."
Created as the little brother of the B Blinded, the 110W B Blinded1 has the same functionality, feel and tungsten emulation and can be used as warm wash light or strobe fixture.
"We've been using our new stock of B Blinded1 for so many things, most commonly for flood lights on red carpet events, including at the Peaky Blinders event outside Birmingham Town Hall. Being IP-rated, they are awesome for that!" Baker continues. "The high brightness output they provide and low power consumption are a winning combination.
"We also used them for a large corporate event at Goldmiths University in London as house lights in the main marquee. They worked amazing for that, too. They are a great replacement for halogen and are multi-purpose: crowd blinders, face light, house light, illumination and strobe effects. The Blinded1 easily facilitates all of the above, and with an attractive price point.
"The ability to rent in more when needed is critical and we also like to ensure we have the right support behind us - AED offers that very well."
Luxibel fixtures are available exclusively from AED, using the company's AV Business Tools options.

Moody's Analytics and their partners are committed to helping insurers to meet requirements of the new International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 17 that has an effective date of 1 January 2021.
The implementation of the new accounting standard is likely to disrupt the global insurance industry, driving discussion around the financial reporting implications and the challenges of managing new data flows and developing new assumptions. A large part of the uncertainty is caused by the need for accountants and actuaries to start working more closely together. While the standard is written by the accounting profession, implemented under corporate finance control and subject to the review and approval of auditors, its implementation will depend on actuarial input – both in identifying or generating input data and in designing and operating key portions of the overall solutions.
Download our whitepaper to learn why IFRS17 is a joint actuarial and accounting responsibility from start to finish, taking into consideration:
• Solutions that come to the fore
• A new approach to actuarial input

Why we need to add comments using VBA
When we are automating any Excel task or preparing the Excel templates, it is better idea to provide enough information to the user. In some cases, the actual Cell or Range may not be sufficient to show the information, or you may want to show the additional information to the user or client (like instructions, help, or about the field, or you may want to to describe more about some data in a range or cell. Adding comments will be a good idea to provide such information, this will also help your worksheet looks more cleaner as comments will not appear until your user or customer hover on the cell or a range.
VBA Add Comments in an Excel Range – Syntax
You can use the below syntax or Macro Code to add or insert comments to a range in Excel using VBA.
Range("YourRange").AddCommnet "Your Text"
VBA to Add Comments in an Excel Range – Examples
Please look into the below examples will show adding comments in different situations while automating your tasks.
VBA to Add Comments in an Excel Range – Simple Example
The below example will show you how to add a comment at Range "A2" as 'Hello, this is a comment text':
Range("A2").AddComment "Hello, this is a comment text"
Here AddComment is method of an Excel Range to add the comments. And 'A' is the Column Name and '2' is the Row number.
VBA to Add Comments in an Excel Range – Instructions

Small Wireless Facility Aesthetic Requirements and Construction Criteria
Small Wireless Facility Aesthetic Requirements and Construction Criteria
The installation or attachment of an antenna or other wireless communications equipment utilizing small cell technology (the "wireless equipment") to poles in the City Of Windom or City-owned facilities shall be subject to the criteria set forth below. In some cases, the existing pole may require replacement with a new combination pole that can accommodate the equipment proposed to be attached and the street light luminaire, signal head/mast arm or other appurtenances (the "replacement pole"). If an existing pole is proposed to be utilized for attachment, detailed engineering calculations shall be submitted by a Licensed Professional Engineer showing that the pole can accommodate the additional loads.
A. Application Process:

The City may request additional information if deemed necessary.
- Any fees for the permit application shall be set by resolution of the Windom City Council.
B. Pole Criteria:
- Specific Criteria:
- Only one installation per pole on a first-come, first-served basis is permitted.
- If wireless equipment is to be installed on a City-owned street light pole, the operator, at its expense, shall replace the existing street light pole with a chambered pole to segregate wireless and utility services. The specs of the proposed pole shall be approved by the Windom Electrical Department.

- No Company signs are permitted to be placed on a pole, including a replacement pole, except to the extent required by local, state or federal laws or regulations.
- All pole-attached wireless equipment must be a minimum of ten (10) feet above the sidewalk elevation.
- All ground–based wireless equipment including, but not limited to, equipment cabinets or power pedestals shall be placed at the back of the right-of-way whenever possible.
- All pole-mounted equipment shall match the color of the pole or replacement pole.
- For each individual pole type or style used to support the wireless equipment, one spare replacement pole shall be provided by the small wireless facility operator to the City at the end of the project so that the pole can be replaced promptly in case of a knockdown.
- All plans shall be signed and sealed by a Professional Civil and Electrical Engineer.
- All other details in the City Of Windom Street Light Design Standards and Engineering Standards shall apply.
- The replacement pole and the wireless equipment attached to the pole shall not increase the diameter of the existing pole that is replaced by more than sixty (60) percent, not to exceed eight (8) inches total, or increase the height of the existing pole by more than ten (10) percent, not to exceed four (4) feet. The distance from the edge of the pole to the street or sidewalk shall meet all setback requirements per the City's Engineering Standards.
- Antenna shall be limited to snug-mount, canister-mount, and concealed antennas and mounted no more than six (6) inches off the pole.
- All cables or wires for the attached wireless equipment shall be located inside the pole except where such cables or wires attach to the ports in the antenna.
- When wireless equipment is attached to a replacement pole, the primary purpose of the pole shall remain as a pole structure supporting a streetlight luminaire, signal mast arms/heads, or power facilities and related fixtures as originally established within the City right-of-way.
C. Equipment Cabinets

Preview: 2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS
Over the weekend I got the opportunity to ride the new Suzuki V-Strom 1000 and I came away very impressed. Hoping to capitalize on riders who want to graduate from their extremely successful V-Strom 650, Suzuki has introduced what is basically an entirely new motorcycle. Though it shares a name and some parts with its predecessor, the 2014 V-Strom 1000 has been completely redesigned. Here are some highlights:
A two-millimeter bore increase raises engine displacement from 996 to 1,037cc. This does result in modest gains in horsepower and torque, but the real benefit comes in tractability. This V-twin is smooth, powerful, and supremely easy to ride.
For the first time on a Suzuki, the V-Strom 1000 comes with traction control. And it's both simple and effective. Three modes allow you to set just how much intervention you want, including none at all. ABS, however, cannot be switched off.
Suspension and Chassis
The 2014 model's twin-spar aluminum frame is not only lighter, but also more rigid than that of the older model. Chassis geometry has also been revised to increase stability while still enhancing agility. New 43mm KYB inverted forks are adjustable for both preload and damping, and the rear shock is too. Overall the 2014 V-Strom 1000 is nearly 18 pounds lighter.
Up front Tokico monoblock calipers grip 310mm floating discs with a powerful bite reminiscent of a sportbike, though they remain easy to modulate. Bosch ABS ensures that you maximize your available grip.
The V-Strom 1000's MSRP of $12,699 is well below that of the nearest 1,000cc-plus competitor. And, since it's a Suzuki and not a European exotic, the cost of ownership should be very reasonable too.
Check out the specs below and stay tuned for an in-depth review coming soon.
2014 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 ABS
Engine: 1,037cc 90° V-twin
Cooling: liquid
Transmission: 6-speed, chain final drive
Front Suspension: 43mm KYB USD fork
Rear Suspension: link type coil spring
Brakes Front/Rear: dual 310mm discs w/ 4-piston Tokiko monoblock calipers / 260mm single disc
Seat Height: 33.5in

Not a light topic especially during one of the most joyous times of the year I am content with discussing this topic as this past week marks one year since my 12-year-old dog passed away due to kidney failure.
Death is a hard experience to go through no matter if it is a family member or a pet that is loss. In my family our pet was viewed more as a family member than a pet as he lived for more than decade with us. Looking back life at home this year has been more quiet, solemn, and a little less brighter. Some weeks and months after our dog's passing I came to realize that while the tears stopped falling the pain of unending silence within our home remained. No more wake-up barks to go outside in the wee hours of the morning, no more grinning snickers when anyone was putting on their shoes to prepare to leave, and no more warm furry welcoming embraces after returning home from a long work day. No more of any of these things.
As many close friends and family members gave their regards again and again, my family learned to live with the memories and tried to find new joys to fill the void our pet had left. For me, however, dealing with death this year was difficult. Losing a member of our family that was a daily part my daily life was heartbreaking. Since my teenage years my dog was my pillar of strength for consoling, my friend for late-night one-on-one talks, and my favorite/most preferred companion on weekends. Losing all of that left me with many voids to fill. Unfortunately, the majority of these voids remain unfilled. By choice though. After making the decision this past summer to move abroad again I also made the decision to leave my voids open and let them fill up on their own.
For many people often times voids(i.e. pet losses) are replaced quickly with new pets. While nothing is wrong with adopting a new pet and welcoming a new family member into ones' home it was not a decision I wanted to make. I love my dog and cherish the abundant amount yet short time he lived under the same roof with me. I adore the memories and permanent marks(* wall dents, teeth markings, etc.) that remain. Due to this I chose continually remember my pet, remember our home, and remember our neighborhood as it is and was when my pet was alive.
Although, my voids remain my family has been blessed with news of an additional member arriving in next spring, which has created so much excitement and joy this fall and winter. Hearing the news months ago I have come to learn that dealing with death and the voids its creates takes time. But, eventually the voids will fill up on their own. It may take one year or more, but slowly and surely it will fill with new blessings and joys that life brings.

Mid Senior Hurling Championship
Moycarkey-Borris 1-17 Boherlahan-Dualla 0-9
Round-up by Ed Donnelly
Moycarkey-Borris had a comprehensive eleven point victory over near neighbours Boherlahan-Dualla in The Ragg on Sunday afternoon in the Centenary Agri Mid Senior Hurling Championship. Played in blustery conditions, Boherlahan had the aid of the strong cross-field wind in the first half but it was Moycarkey who started the game in dominant fashion. Within two minutes of the throw-in, a good hand-passing move involving a third of the team saw the ball end up in the hands of Rory Ryan who dispatched the ball to the net. Following this positive start, Moycarkey pushed on with a high tempo game which forced Boherlahan in to numerous errors. From these errors, Moycarkey picked off their scores with impressive accuracy to race in to a 1-7 to 0-0 lead after 20 minutes. Boherlahan eventually got off the mark with a Darragh Hickey free in the 21st minute and this brought an improvement in their general play. This improvement did not result in additional scores until Boherlahan earned a penalty in the 28th minute. Darragh Hickey hit a rasper of a shot towards the top of the goal but Moycarkey defender Niall O'Sullivan deflected the shot over the bar at the expense of a point. Boherlahan pointed another free on the cusp of half-time to leave the interval score – Moycarkey-Borris 1-9 Boherlahan-Dualla 0-3.

The second half was a much more even affair on the scoreboard as Moycarkey struggled to hit the target with the assistance of the wind. Moycarkey hit four wides from a variety of angles before they got off the mark in the second half. Moycarkey were still doing well in general play but a combination of wides from long range and dispossessions helped keep Boherlahan in touch and by the end of the third quarter, Moycarkey led by 1-12 to 0-7. Any chance of a Boherlahan comeback ended when Laurence Hickey was sent off in the 46th minute and from there, Moycarkey added five points to Boherlahan's one to leave the final scoreline at 1-17 to 0-9.
After some good results in the County Challenge Cup in recent weeks, Moycarkey-Borris will be happy to have transferred this form to the Mid Championship and earn a place in the next round. Their performance in the first quarter in particular laid the foundations for a good victory and the result was never in doubt thereafter. Over the course of the hour, Moycarkey hit 15 wides (12 in the second half) which illustrated their dominance. The starting line-up included five players from the side which lost narrowly in the County Junior A Hurling Final last November as Pat Molloy, William Dempsey, Paudie Doran, James Doran and Rory O'Regan earned promotion to the Senior ranks with the latter two players making the Senior Championship debuts. The defence did well throughout restricting Boherlahan to just three points from play over the hour. Rory O'Regan and Patrick Carey did well at midfield while up front, Kieran Morris took the scoring honours with nine points, 4 from play. Pat Molloy added three points while Rory Ryan contributed 1-1 as overall seven players got on the scoreboard in the absence of the injured David Sheppard.
For Boherlahan this was a disappointing day at the office, in particular the opening quarter. The defenders worked valiantly throughout though under severe pressure while up front, they will need to ensure more of a scoring threat, in particular from open play.
Moycarkey-Borris: James Doran; Paul Dempsey, James Power, James Bourke; Kevin Moran (Captain), David Morris, Niall O'Sullivan; Rory O'Regan, Pa Carey (0-1); Ailbe Power (0-1), Pat Molloy (0-3), William Dempsey; Kieran Morris (0-9, 0-5 frees), Paudie Doran, Rory Ryan (1-1)
Subs: Ciaran Clohessy (0-1) for William Dempsey, Anthony Healy (0-1) for Paudie Doran
Boherlahan-Dualla Scorers – Darragh Hickey (0-7, 0-6 frees), Brian Maher & Brian Quinn 0-1 each

XP Cost: 270
Prerequisites: Ranged Combat, Dexterity 13+, Weapon Proficiency (Throwing) 4 ranks.
Peltasts are light infantry skirmishers specializing in the use of thrown weapons The typical peltast is equipped with several javelins or spears and a small shield known as a peltarion. Because they travel lightly and with very little armor, peltast training involves maximizing the effect of their thrown weapons.
Starting Ability
A peltast deals an extra 1d4 damage per two Hit Dice (minimum of 1d4) on all attacks rolls with thrown weapons in a given round provided that he has moved at least 10' in the same round. This is considered precision damage, but still applies (at half the amount) against creatures normally immune to sneak attacks or critical hits. In addition, a peltast may draw new thrown weapons as a free action.
Extensive Training
XP Cost: 270
When using thrown weapons, you may substitute your Dexterity modifier for your Strength modifier for the purposes of damage rolls.
XP Cost: 1,620
You may make a full attack as a standard action in a given round, provided that you have moved at least 10' in the same round. Attacks made in this way must be with thrown weapons that you are proficient with.
XP Cost: 810
After a successful ranged attack with a javelin or spear, your opponent must make a successful Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 character level + STR) or it is stuck inside him. The opponent suffers a -10 to his movement until he removes the weapon. This penalty does not stack with further impalements. Removing a javelin or spear requires a standard action and a Strength check (DC equal to the damage done).
Find Weakness
XP Cost: 800
Once per encounter, you may overcome any and all damage reduction on ranged one attack against an opponent.
Sheild Sundering
XP Cost: 500
You may use a javelin or spear to sunder an opponent's shield with a ranged attack. This sundering attempt does not provoke an attack of opportunity. If the sundering damage does not destroy the shield, the character bearing the shield suffers the same penalties to movement as Impalement (these effects do not stack). The character may unequip his shield or remove the
javelin or spear to remove this penalty.
Spear Catcher
XP Cost: 500
You must have at least one hand free (holding nothing) to use this ability. Once per round when you would normally be hit with a thrown spear or javelin of any sort, you may make a Reflex saving (DC of 20). If successful, you catch the weapon, allowing you to hurl it back next time you attack if you wish.
Spear Multiple Opponents
XP Cost: 810
As a full-round action, you may make a single ranged attack against any and all opponents in a 30' line, using up only one unit of ammunition in the process. You make a single attack roll and applies that against all enemies in the line, but roll damage separately for each opponent successfully hit.
Sheild Takedown
XP Cost: 500
You may hurl a small shield as a special ranged attack with a range increment of 20 feet. Any target hit by the shield must make a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 character level + STR) or be knocked prone.
