Generic name: Clindamycin phosphateBrand names: Cleocin T
Cleocin T is an antibiotic used to treat acne.
Although applied only to the skin, some of Cleocin T could be absorbed into the bloodstream; and it has been known to cause severe—sometimes even fatal—colitis (an inflammation of the lower bowel) when taken internally. Symptoms, which can occur a few days, weeks, or months after beginning treatment with Cleocin T, include severe diarrhea, severe abdominal cramps, and the possibility of the passage of blood.
Use Cleocin T exactly as prescribed. Excessive use of Cleocin T can cause your skin to become too dry or irritated.
Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Cleocin T.
If you are sensitive to or have ever had an allergic reaction to Cleocin T or similar drugs, such as lincomycin, you should not use Cleocin T. Make sure your doctor is aware of any drug reactions you have experienced.
Unless you are directed to do so by your doctor, do not take Cleocin T if you have ever had an intestinal inflammation, ulcerative colitis, or antibiotic-associated colitis.
Cleocin T contains an alcohol base, which can cause burning and irritation of the eyes. It also has an unpleasant taste. Use caution when applying Cleocin T so as not to get it in the eyes, nose, mouth, or skin abrasions. In the event of accidental contact, rinse the affected area with cool water.
Use with caution if you have hay fever, asthma, or eczema.
If you have diarrhea while taking Cleocin T, check with your doctor before taking an antidiarrhea medication, as certain drugs may cause your diarrhea to become worse.
The diarrhea should not be treated with the commonly used drugs that slow movement through the intestinal tract, such as diphenoxylate hydrochloride or products containing paregoric.
The effects of Cleocin T during pregnancy have not been adequately studied. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. Cleocin T may appear in breast milk and could affect a nursing infant. If Cleocin T is essential to your health, your doctor may advise you to discontinue breastfeeding your baby until your treatment with Cleocin T is finished.
Apply a thin film of gel, solution, or lotion to the affected area 2 times a day, or use a solution pledget (application pad). Discard a pledget after you have used it once; you may use more than 1 pledget for a treatment. Do not remove the pledget from its foil container until you are ready to use it.
If you are using the lotion, shake it well immediately before using.
The safety and effectiveness of Cleocin T have not been established in children under 12 years of age.
Cleocin T can be absorbed through the skin and produce side effects in the body. If you suspect an overdose, seek medical attention immediately.

In Honour of Annie Fischer
BEETHOVEN: Sonata for Cello and Piano in A major, Op. 69
BEETHOVEN: Sonata for Violin and Piano in A major ('Kreutzer'), Op. 47
--- intermission ---
BEETHOVEN: String Quartet in A minor, Op. 132
Featuring: Evgeni Koroliov piano, MiklósPerényi cello, AndrásKeller violin
Hungarian Quartet
Steven Isserlis, one of the greatest cellists of the modern day, believes that of all the Beethoven sonatas for cello and piano the one in A major is foremost in its genre, giving as it does equal roles to both instruments. In the work, one cannot find a trace of the struggle so characteristic of Beethoven: with its happy tone, it is a perfect example of the balance of Viennese Classicism. The Kreutzer Sonata for violin and piano presents extreme technical challenges to its performers, while its length and emotional overwroughtness do the same for the audience – naturally, in the best sense. The dedication is to violinist Rodolphe Kreutzer, who, however, never performed it, saying it was "outrageously unintelligible". The piano parts in both sonatas are performed by Evgeni Koroliov, joined by living Hungarian legend Miklós Perényi and artistic director of Concerto Budapest, András Keller. The piece that closes this recital, String Quartet in A minor, was composed by Beethoven after recovering from a lengthy illness. The inscription to the third movement commemorates this: 'Holy song of thanksgiving of a convalescent to the Deity, in the Lydian mode'. This movement was to have a great influence on later composers, Bartók included, who evokes it virtually note for note at the start of Piano Concerto No. 3.

We did this as a one-night backpacking trip on Oct 20-21. We started off at Roger's Trough Trailhead. Joe and the others are correct in half the fun is the drive in. It is necessary to at least have a high clearance vehicle and I would not go without a 4WD.
A couple of friends and I did this in a two car shuttle. We parked my jeep at the Woodbury Trailhead and my friend's truck at the Roger's Trough Trailhead where we started. The trailheads are 3 miles apart, and trust me when I say this, after coming out the JF Trail at Woodbury Trailhead, you ain't a gonna wanna walk 3 more miles up some very steep hills to the Roger's Trough parking area! If you do this in a loop, use a two car shuttle. I also must recommend starting at Roger's Canyon and ending on JF Trail. It's easier.
So, there are two descriptions on this site regarding these two trails. One for getting to the cliff dwellings via Roger's Canyon Trail, and the other coming in via the Woodbury Trailhead on the JF Trail. Both are great write-ups, so I'll just tell of my experience of doing this in a loop.
We started out about 10:45 am on the Roger's Canyon Trail. It being mid-October, I think we were among the first hikers out in the Supers this season. They must have had a really good summer, because the trail was very overgrown. The water situation is apparently run-off based and not spring-based; as it was dry as a pop tart back there. I hiked Roger's Canyon in April one year and there was plenty of water in the drainage. Never underestimate your need for water, and I'll touch on this point a little later on. Also, I would like to recommend long pants and perhaps even a long-sleeved shirt. There were many a cat claw acacia gauntlets to run through on the trail, which left me sort of, well, pretty bloody.
There is a really nice place to take a break about half to maybe 3/4 of the way to Angel Basin. It's a clearing with a campfire ring made of stones and some logs to have a sit down on.
After this, you'll climb over a little pass and down in to the drainage area. There is a spot where you might lose the trail if you start going up the wash rather than crossing it. If you find yourself looking for the trail, look over to the other side of the wash and you will see it climbing up the bank. The trail makes a gradual turn west. Look up to the right and you'll see some caves. In there are the ruins. If youÂ're camping, go a bit past this and you'll find some great places to camp. There is a little area under some oak just a little past the ruins, then there are some more campsites along the trail a little further (which is where we camped) and then there is Angel Basin. You can't miss this, as it is a large meadow. Beautiful area. Breathtaking rock formations, excellent stargazing at night. I think it's a magical place.
We pitched camp and went to explore the ruins. My friends climbed all the way to the upper ruin, but I was not confident enough for that. The last time I was here, there were bits and pieces of broken pottery scattered around. I didn't see any this time. Please, folks, just leave it be. Don't take anything. It's fun to have artifacts in your collections, I know, but it spoils it for the rest of us who would like to enjoy seeing traces of pre-historic human creativity right there at the site. The ruins are cool, but it's neat to see other stuff there as well. If you want Indian pottery, go buy it. You can get some really nice, unbroken objects in the art galleries around the state. You will help the artist by making a purchase, so it's a win-win situation.
Back at camp, I discovered a small tarantula making it's way toward my backpack. I made one of my companions adios it because I am arachnophobic. I had the willies the rest of the evening.
The next morning, we got going about 7:55am. We hiked up the JF Trail on a gradual climb to Tortilla Pass. This was a challenge because of the overgrowth, but it may get better with use throughout the season. Once you start switch backing up to the pass, it clears out and you have some terrific views of everything around you. You can even see the top of Four Peaks if you look toward the northwest.
Once you go over Tortilla Pass (it was not marked when we were there) you begin to descend. You will descend for a long, long time. The trail is pretty much scree, so hiking poles are a great help. The trail levels out for a little while at one point and there are some shady spots to rest. It was here I ran out of water, and I lost a pin on my backpack (Kelty Tioga for Women). Great. We managed to fix it with a small substitute part, so I didn't have to ditch the pack
You bottom out at Randolph Canyon Wash. At one point, I must warn the reader, it looks as if the trail goes into the wash and keeps going from there. It does not. Look for the trail going on straight ahead. Like I said before, it was overgrown and sometimes hard to see the trail.
The trail will lead to a Windmill, this is the Woodbury Windmill. We had a copy of "Hiker's Guide to the Superstition Wilderness" by Jack Carlson and Elizabeth Stewart. This is a very good and valuable book, and it saved our lives. If we hadn't had it, we would still be out there looking for the Woodbury Trailhead. Un fortunately, though, there isn't a description of the JF Tail coming to the Woodbury Trailhead, only going from it. So we had to read backwards. The map didn't include the Woodbury Windmill; it only referenced it in the narrative. One of my companions read the map as it was and it looked like we were about 2-3 miles off course. The windmill on the map is the windmill at JF Ranch. We didn't know where we were! We had no water. It was hot out. That is a very bad thing. It was the very first time I have ever run out of water on a trail. Here is where I will remind you that you should never underestimate your need for water. No food + no water + lost = deep in the hurt locker.
We walked to the Windmill and I was hoping there was water there, as what are windmills for? There are no trail indicators at the windmill and the trails are not obvious at all. We walked on a trail past the windmill, as there were Cairns. After a while, we thought it felt wrong and so we went back to the Windmill. There we found a tank with a trough and a water pipe with water coming out. We descended upon it with wild abandon. Like those movies you see where someone is lost is the Sahara and comes across an oasis? I saw a trail heading south and I thought that it was what we wanted as the map indicated that we walk south from the windmill. I was right; we found the crossroads of the Coffee Flat Trail and the JF Trail. We were about a half a mile to the trailhead. The thing to remember is, at the windmill, keep going south. From the trail sign, it looks like you can only go east or west, but the trail to the west curves due south. The trail leads up an old road and once at the top, you will see the parking lot. Shangri-la.
I apologize that I don't have any photos of the windmill area and the direction to go, but I had run out of battery juice in the camera. It's a Canon digital Elph.
Also, I don't care how heavy it is, bring lots of water. Better to have too much.
I bought a Magellan GPS this afternoon.

Football parents know the angst of researching the safest gear. Virginia Tech's Helmet Lab has now taken the guesswork out of it!
Before we go into the nuts and bolts of how the helmets were tested, here is what you really want to know:
5-Star Helmets (Best Available)
VICIS: Zero1 Youth ($495.00)
Xenith: Youth X2E+ ($199.00), Youth Epic+ ($284.00)
Schutt: Youth F7 ($569.95), Youth Vengeance A3+ ($139.95), Youth Vengeance A3 ($109.95)
Riddell: Youth SpeedFlex ($324.99), Youth Victor-i ($124.99)
4-Star helmets are ranked as very good, 3-Star helmets are considered good, and 2-Star helmets are ranked adequate. Of the 17 helmet models tested, the three lowest performing were the Riddell Youth Speed Classic, the Riddell Youth Speed, and the Schutt Youth Vengeance Z10, all of which earned 3-star ratings (still good). To see the whole list, visit the Helmet Lab website.
How were the helmets evaluated?
Concussions can occur with physical blows to the head resulting in injury to the brain. The role of helmets is to lessen the effects of the impact and reduce the risk of concussions. Youth football players, ages 10 to 14 years old, were outfitted with special sensors on their helmets to collect the data used for this project.
The tests analyzed the helmets' ability to reduce linear and rotational acceleration of the head, which ultimately can lead to concussions. The highest-rated helmets provide the best reduction of concussion risks during the full range of head impacts studied.
What other factors should be considered?
Naturally, you want your child to be safe. Other factors to consider when buying a helmet include cost, fit, and comfort. Be sure to have your child try on all of the options and purchase the safest model you can afford.
Keep in mind, no helmet is 100 percent concussion-proof; some just do a better job at prevention than others.
What is the Helmet Lab?
The Helmet Lab is a Virginia Tech-based initiative, partially funded by the National Institutes of Health, which conducts research on all types of helmets and concussion risk reduction. They provide comprehensive ratings of helmets on the market and make their findings widely available once their research is completed.
Learn more about The Helmet Lab or make a donation toward their efforts by visiting their website.

3 Ways to Stay Composed During Volatility
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Volatility is unavoidable in investing. But overreacting to short-term news and normal market movements often leads investors to inappropriately alter their asset allocations, potentially harming their ability to achieve long-term investment goals. Rather than fear volatile markets, investors should maintain their composure by staying focused on long-term economic and market expectations, and keeping three simple principles in mind.
1. Put volatility in perspective
Market drawdowns can occur frequently—over days, weeks or months—but having the fortitude to stay invested during these periods requires discipline that has often been rewarded. Exhibit 1 from the Guide to the Markets shows the largest intra-year decline an investor experiences during a given year. Despite average intra-year drops of 14.2%, annual returns are positive in 27 of 36 years.
In fact, the market has pulled back 5% an average of four times a year, or about once a quarter. Despite this, the market has tended to fully recover within three months. Drawdowns between 2% and 3% occur far more often, at least monthly on average, and have historically fully recovered within weeks. Thus, short-term pullbacks occur frequently and should not in and of themselves be reasons for panic. Instead, investors should focus on underlying market fundamentals and the economic outlook when deciding whether to adjust their long-term portfolio allocations.
2. Focus on longer investment time horizons
Although volatility is unavoidable, it is a reason for investors to maintain a long-term perspective rather than a reason for pessimism. After all, an investor's sensitivity to market volatility is largely determined by his or her investment time horizon, and U.S. equity markets have rewarded those who have stayed invested over longer periods of time. Broad market returns behave differently over daily, monthly and annual periods. Exhibit 2 from the Guide to the Markets demonstrates that expanding the investment holding period over years and decades has historically improved the risk/return profile of an investor's portfolio. Over any one-year period, the S&P 500 has experienced gains as high as 51% (in 1954) and losses as low as -37% (in 2008). Clearly, an undiversified equity portfolio is inappropriate for short-term goals. Simply expanding to a five-year holding period improves the risk/return profile of stocks dramatically, with the worst five-year period since 1950 experiencing only a 2% decline. Most important, there has never been a 20-year period in the postwar era that has experienced losses. While this is no guarantee of future returns, it demonstrates the importance of specifying the right time horizon to minimize portfolio risk.
3. Diversify
Stock market volatility can be managed in a portfolio by following a disciplined diversification and rebalancing investment approach. Exhibit 3, also from the Guide to the Markets, illustrates the performance of a diversified portfolio relative to the performance of the underlying asset classes. Over the prior 16 years, the asset allocation portfolio has generated annualized returns of 4.8%, comparing quite nicely to other major asset classes.
Investment implications
The last several years of relative market stability have already given way to higher levels of volatility as markets continue to reach new peaks and monetary policy normalizes. Investors should keep market volatility in perspective, invest over longer time horizons and maintain portfolio discipline. Those who can see beyond short-term volatility by focusing on these three principles will likely be rewarded for their patience and discipline.

Kylie Jenner has always been a fan of beauty and make up. This time she has marked the launch of her new range of lipglosses with an eye-catching announcement. The 18-year-old released a short music video, looking effortlessly cool and edgy as she and a group of friends showed off new shades from Kylie Cosmetics
In the short clip, the Keeping up with the Kardashians star looks as edgy as she has ever been as she drives through the desert in a Rolls Royce, looking fabulous in a Louis Vuitton bandana and beige snakeskin patterned ensemble. Applying the pale pink lipgloss, the star then becomes the getaway driver for her gang of friends as they steal a suitcase of money. Check out the video on Kylie's Instagram profile! @Kyliejenner.
This is Kylie's first ever music video and now she has already established herself as a force to be recognised and to get out there. Kylie teamed up with Grammy-winning music video director Colin Tilley to help create the video. It comes as no surprise that she turned to Colin – he has already worked with stars including Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Rita Ora.
The star will be launching three shades of lipgloss – 'Like' in a pale brown, 'Literally' in mauve hues and a pale pink shade named 'So Cute'. In less than a day the video, shared on YouTube, has already reached over one million views, while social media has seen beauty addicts everywhere expressing their excitement at the latest addition to Kylie's beauty passion.
This hype is not surprising as Kylie already produces a range of lip kits which repeatedly sell out within minutes with celebrities including Chrissy Teigen, Demi Lovato and Christina Aguilera all spotted trying out the colours. Therefore it is not a shock for creating her own lipgloss range, in fact it is more of a shocker for her to have her own video advertising this!
The reality TV star also celebrated the milestone moment with a chic luncheon hosted at her Calabasas mansion, where she and mum Kris Jenner invited over a group of friends, to whom they later gifted the new shades. The beauty goddess recorded the event in a series of Snapchat videos as she and her friends enjoyed the outdoors event.

Republicans control Washington but have no real legislative victories to show folks back home during their two-week Easter recess. They miss former President Barack Obama, whom they blamed in the past for not getting anything accomplished.
"Clearly, President Obama gave us a common focus. Now that he's gone, we have to govern," Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Okla.) told Politico.
GOP Rep. Mike Simpson of Idaho told Politico and the party's constituents "will be angry and could try to boot them from office." He added that the "burden" of controlling government is that "you can't blame anyone else."
According to the outlet, Speaker Paul Ryan thought he had it all figured out after President Donald Trump's surprising victory in November.
Ryan's agenda included passing an Obamacare replacement, funding the government (including finding money for the U.S.-Mexico wall), and passing tax reform by the recess.
They accomplished none of that, even though the GOP controls both houses of Congress and the executive branch.
Sharp divisions among House Republicans surfaced in the absence of the ex-president to unite them. Trump and Ryan have so far been unable to control the far-right wing of their party.
In a feeble effort, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) tried to convince Politico that Republicans are unified, pointing to several congressional resolutions that Trump signed.
However, a truly unified party that knows how to govern would have accomplished more.

College Football Free Pick: Washington vs StanfordNovember 10, 2017
Week 11 of the college football regular season features a Friday night Pac-12 showdown when the No. 8 ranked Washington Huskies visit the Stanford Cardinal. The current line on top sportsbooks has Washington favored by 6 points with the over/under point total on 45.
Entering this game, Washington on the season is 8-1 straight up and 6-3 against the spread. On the road, the Huskies are 3-1 SU and 2-2 ATS. Stanford on the season is 6-3 SU and 3-5-1 ATS. At home, the Cardinal are 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS.
Washington must win out if they have any hope of reaching the College Football Playoff. The Huskies sit No. 9 in the latest CFP rankings and have a half-game lead in the North Division of the Pac-12 over both Stanford and Washington State.
Washington has the No. 1 ranked overall defense in yards allowed per game at 241 and is No.6 in rushing defense allowing just 91.1 yards per game.
However, the Huskies will face a tough rusher in Stanford's Bryce Love. The junior has 1,456 yards rushing, which is No. 2 in the country behind just San Diego State's Rashaad Penny's with 1,602. Love has 11 runs of 50 yards or more this season.
Stanford's special teams must contain Washington's Dante Pettis. The Huskies punt returner has returned four punts for touchdowns thus far in 2017 and holds the NCAA record with nine during his career with the Huskies.
Myles Gaskin the junior tailback for the Huskies has 918 yards on the ground with 10 touchdowns. Quarterback Jake Browning has 75 passes for touchdowns during career at Washington, with 16 this season.
Love rushed for just 69 yards last week, a season low, when the Cardinal were beaten by Washington State. However, he did score a touchdown on a run of 52 yards and has one run of 50 yards or more in each of Stanford's games this season.
Stanford will start a freshman, K.J. Costello, at quarterback. This will be just his second start after struggling last week in the snow against Washington State.
Washington beat Stanford 44-6 last season, but Stanford has won 9 of the last 12 meetings between the two.
Washington is 7-1 ATS in its last 8 Pac-12 games.
Stanford is 1-3-1 ATS in its last 5 Pac-12 games.
With this free pick, we like Washington to cover.

By now many of you have read the incredible guest post series by Anonymous I've shared here on my blog, "Shattering the Clay." Start here if you missed it. Then go here and here. (for those waiting with baited breath, her final installment will appear soon!) I really appreciate your support of her here. She needs this outlet and people should know this sort of thing happens ALL THE TIME. If you're wondering why her story hits so close to home, it's because my dad came out of the closet when I was 15 years old. I've written about it several times, so what you see below was written almost two years ago. I thought this would be an appropriate time to run it again.
When my parents announced that Sunday morning that it was time for a "family meeting," my stomach lurched and the golden, glistening fried eggs I'd just eaten threatened to reappear. My younger brother, Mark, and I jeered and jabbed at each other on our way downstairs, but part of me knew something wasn't right. While we joked in whispers that we'd better start doing our chores more diligently, the silent scream in my head warned me to stop time, to take the brittle hands of the clock and snap them like sticks, freezing us in this moment forever, untainted.As soon as we sat down on the couch across from my parents, we knew this wasn't about assigning more chores or raking us over the coals about something we'd done wrong. Mom was crying. Ever the lawyer, Dad was pacing with a legal pad and it wasn't long before he began his opening statement; he was preparing to defend himself. "This is about honesty, integrity, respect, and my love for all of you," he began nervously and somewhat formally. I suddenly couldn't stop looking at the dirty off-white carpet beneath my feet, its fuzzy fibers unraveling in places. I felt myself unraveling, too, things inside me twisting and pulling against each other. I wanted to take a loose loop of wool and run with it, clamp my hands over my ears and shout, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU," like a young child often does when there's something she doesn't want to hear.
Dad announced he was moving out, his sentences littered with awkward but telling third-person references "Your mother and I are getting divorced because your father is a homosexual." He couldn't own it himself, the secret he'd just spilled from his lips. It was like he was speaking about someone who wasn't there. He said he'd known he was gay since he was 12 years old, but thought he could hide it, squash it down and lead a normal life. He thought he could pretend it away by marrying Mom. Tasting my breakfast in the back of my throat, I prayed that this was either a very realistic dream or April Fool's in November. Of course it was neither. As tears threatened to roll, all I could think about was getting out of that house. I needed a friend and some air. I needed to think. This couldn't possibly be happening. A lot of my friends' parents were divorced, but mine never seemed like potential candidates—they always got along so well and things seemed relatively normal. I was also quite certain none of my friends had a gay parent.
As soon as they were done talking to us, I tore upstairs and called my best friend *Michelle. She was out of town at a soccer tournament. I called *Joe next. I think I blurted out, "My parents are getting divorced." He suggested we meet at the park nearby and to do homework. I borrowed Mom's car and left as quickly as I could. Mark retreated to his room, and only Kevin, the youngest of the three of us (nine years-old at the time), remained with my parents to ask lots of questions I don't think they were prepared for.
I got to the park and could barely speak. Just lots of tears, sobbing, and snot. I remember copying some of Joe's Latin homework. Amo, amas, amat, amamus, amatis, my dad is gay? My brain wouldn't process anything, especially not Latin vocabulary and verb conjugations. I was on auto-pilot. Miles upon miles of senseless thoughts raced through my mind, colliding and causing traffic jams. Joe lent me an old handkerchief he found in his jacket pocket. At 15, he was ill-equipped for such an emotionally charged situation, but he did the best he could; he held me while I cried and he tried to make me laugh. As the afternoon sun waned and the skies began to darken, I knew I'd have to return home and face the challenges ahead.

The BJP and its allies have decided to move a privilege motion against Aam Admi Party (AAP) MP Bhagwant Mann, who has been drawing flak for live-streaming a video which reveals several security spots of the Parliament.
Mann has, however, defended his actions, and has clarified that his intention was not to malign the Parliament's image or put its security at risk.
"I did not play with the security. I never wanted to put the security at risk. I have not done anything that harms security. DD, Lok Sabha everything comes live. My intention was not to malign the image of Parliament. Everyone should get a chance to speak. The Speaker has called me and I will go there," Mann told ANI here.
"I am going to Parliament in Zero Hour today. I want to raise the issue of farmers' suicide," he added.
Hitting out at Mann, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa said this shows how much knowledge Mann has of the Constitution
Meanwhile, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) is set to move a privilege motion in the Lok Sabha against Bhagwant Mann for uploading a video on social media that showed the Parliament premises and internal security positions.
However, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan has taken cognizance of the video and said it is being investigated.
The speaker will seek a report from Parliament security on the matter and Mann will be summoned if required.

It seems like Chunghwa Post has created a tradition to issue stamps on the Orchids. This year the post has issued four stamps featuring different wild orchids of Taiwan depicting its fascinating flora. The image that is used on these stamps is masterpieces created by ecology painter Mr Chi-jen Lai.
This post has previously issued Orchids on its stamp in 2017 and in January 2018, Taiwan is a great sanctuary for the great diversity of orchids inside its territory but also the neighbouring territories. It is the main reason that this Post has dedicated its stamp release on this flower.

New British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has had his ambitious Brexit strategy slapped down by the European Union (EU) which insists the current withdrawal agreement is the "best and only agreement".
Johnson's election as Conservative Party leader, and consequently, Prime Minister, was largely based on his bombast approach to delivering Brexit by the deadline of October 31 - no matter what.
- Boris Johnson elected Conservative Party leader
- Boris Johnson: Who is the United Kingdom's incoming Prime Minister?
- Former NZ-UK High Commissioner Sir Lockwood Smith lauds Boris Johnson
He has several options to play with - attempt to pass the current withdrawal agreement through Parliament (something former Prime Minister Theresa May failed to do multiple times), attempt to forge a new deal with the EU, or exit the union with no deal.
While drawing up a new deal would be the most preferred option by Johnson, the EU doesn't seem so keen.
On Thursday, in his first telephone call with Johnson in his position as Prime Minister, European Commission President Jean-Claude Junker said the current agreement is the "best and only agreement possible".
Junker says the Commission remains open to listening to Johnson's ideas, but they must be "compatible with the withdrawal agreement".
"President Junker reiterated that the Commission remains available over the coming weeks should the United Kingdom wish to hold talks and clarify its position in more detail," a summary of the phone call between the leaders said.
A key sticking point over the current agreement is the Irish backstop, which Johnson wants to rid from the deal, but the EU is adamant upon.
The border between Northern Ireland - which is part of the United Kingdom - and the Republic of Ireland is the UK's only physical border. The backstop is a virtual last resort guaranteeing a flowing, open border if no specific arrangement for trade and immigration is sorted.
That maintains ties between the UK and EU - something which Johnson said goes against the idea of Brexit. If no arrangement is come to and no backstop is in place, the border may become a hard border, with infrastructure and checks like most inter-country borders.
"No country that values its independence, and indeed its self-respect, could agree to a treaty which signed away our economic independence and self-government as this backstop does," Johnson said.
Following Johnson's first speech in the House of Commons as Prime Minister on Thursday, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier reportedly sent a note to EU leaders repeating the position that gutting a backstop guarantee was unacceptable.
Barnier also labelled the speech "rather combative", according to the BBC.
Much of Johnson's strategy is based on threatening a no-deal situation in the hope that will force the EU - who also doesn't want a no-deal - to renegotiate. But the EU says it is working on plans in case of a no-deal.
If a withdrawal agreement did pass, that would allow for a transitional period in which New Zealand could develop trade agreements. A no-deal situation would mean the UK exits the EU immediately, with no agreements in place for trade with other countries and creating chaos for exporters.

England drew with the USA in the first day of games at the Ten Nation La Manga U-19 Tournament, which Scotland missed out on due to weather-related flight cancellations.
Bristol City youngster Lauren Hemp broke the deadlock after just two minutes only for USA to peg the Lionesses back before the break through Alexa Spaanstra.
Hannah Betfort put the US ahead after the restart but Rehanne Skinner's side battled back to level through Sheffield FC's Hannah Cain, who came on for Isabella Sibley at half-time.
England's second match in La Manga is on Sunday against Czech Republic, who went down 3-0 to Switzerland with goals from Seraina Piubel, Sabina Jackson and Alissia Piperata.
England: 13 Katie Startup, 2 Flo Allen (capt), 4 Connie Scofield, 6 Esme Morgan, 7 Isabella Sibley, 8 Rebecca Rayner, 9 Hollie Olding, 11 Jessica Ngunga, 12 Lois Joel, 16 Lauren Hemp, 20 Shania Hayles.
Substitutes: 17 Hannah Cain for Sibley 46, 15 Amy Rodgers for Rayner 60, 18 Georgia Eaton-Collins for Olding 60, 19 Bridget Galloway for Hayles 60, 3 Poppy Pattinson for Joel 71.
Substitutes not used: 1 Emily Ramsey, 4 Olivia Smith.
Scotland had been forced to withdraw from the tournament, as flights from Glasgow were cancelled due to the adverse weather.
Head Coach Pauline Hamill told scottishfa.co.uk: "Despite all our best efforts to find an alternative route and following discussions with the tournament organisers, we have reluctantly made the decision to withdraw.
"The well-being of the players had to be the most important factor and in these extreme circumstances the right thing to do was to get the girls back home safely to their families."
Of those others who were fortunate enough to make it to La Manga, this is how they have done on day one:
Netherlands defeated Denmark 4-0 with a brace each from Ashleigh Weerden and Fenna Kalma.
France edged Norway 2-1 thanks to first-half effort from Carla Polito and Amélie Delabre, despite a goal back on 51 minutes by Joanna Aalstad Baekkelund.
Agnese Bonfantini and Alice Regazzoli found the net to give Italy a 2-0 lead over Iceland, who replied with a consolation goal.
Serbia took a 32nd-minute lead through Tijana Filipovic but Austria soon levelled through Laura Wienroither for a 1-1 tie.

A celebration of Nicklas Bendtner, his modest talent & not-so-modest belief
Nicklas Bendtner never truly established himself at Arsenal and probably isn't as good as he thinks, but he's still achieved plenty more than most and is almost definitely better than you think.
Let's play a game of guess the odd one out. Luis Suárez, Carlos Tevez and Nicklas Bendtner.
Have you figured it out? That's right, Bendtner is the odd man out, but not for the reason you think. You see, unlike the other two men on the list, the Dane has a Champions League hat-trick to his name.
Not just any old hat-trick, either. Not like Gareth Bale's treble in the group stages, or Michael Owen's in that weird match between Manchester United and Wolfsburg. No, Bendtner's treble came in a knockout game, and made a major difference.
Arsenal's stand-out goal in that victory over Porto in 2010 might have been scored by Samir Nasri, but Bendtner's goals helped turn a 2-1 first-leg deficit into a comprehensive 6-2 aggregate win.
And, as it happens, the qualities that brought about his peak that night are the same ones which have stopped him from ever repeating the feat.
Bendtner has, in the past, been criticised for his own inflated sense of self-worth.
The story you usually hear is how, during a test held by the Gunners' staff to determine self-perceived confidence, he scored a literally impossible 10 out of 9.
However, while that can often be used to ridicule the striker, we should be looking at things the other way.
All top-level strikers, or at least the overwhelming majority of them, enter the game with a high opinion of their own abilities. Sure, they might not be quite literally off-the-scale, but the general sentiment isn't all that different.
What we often fail to appreciate is that a player of Bendtner's quality, without that ridiculously inflated opinion of his quality, would be just another guy.
A striker averaging a little more than one goal every four games in the Premier League, as Bendtner was during his time with Arsenal and Sunderland, ought not to have been in a position to win Serie A with Juventus and the German Cup with Wolfsburg.
Patently not-good-enough Arsenal forwards, even those at the higher end of the not-good-enough scale like Carlos Vela and Joel Campbell, tend to potter about with loan deals before either impressing at a good-but-not-great European club or continuing to get loaned out while waiting for Arsenal to come down to their level.
Bendtner's path was more prosperous not because he actually deserved better, but because he convinced himself he deserved better, and in a sport with such short careers that works just as well.
What happens if you have a Bendtner who doesn't think he's good enough for Juve? You have Jérémie Aliadière, that's what.
You don't get anything in football without really earning it. #Anelka #Bendtner pic.twitter.com/6S1ibdHDAL
— Cormac Tierney (@TierneysTweets) July 8, 2013
When pundits criticise those in football for believing their own hype, it smacks of a push for humility for humility's sake.
If footballers were truly the humble individuals who meet this bizarre ideal, countless talents would have fallen by the wayside after remaining unconvinced of their own talents.
There are degrees of self-confidence, of course, and ego can get the better of people, but the beauty of self-confidence comes from the fact that no failure can be big enough to dent it.
This is why David Moyes fancies himself to do better at West Ham than in any of his past three failures as a manager.
It's why Eric Cantona continued to take penalties after a failed Panenka during his time in France.
And it's why Bendtner, a man with no Premier League goals to his name at the time, could enter the pitch against Tottenham in December 2007 and believe – nay, know – he was going to score with his first touch.
Bendtner's international career has been much more consistent and has been characterised by a far greater efficiency – he has found the net for his country at least twice every single year from 2006 to 2015.
However, for all the – yeah, I'll say it – competence of his international career, his most noteworthy moment wasn't exactly football-related…though in a sense it couldn't have had more to do with his on-pitch qualities.
After scoring an equaliser against Portugal at Euro 2012, a goal which at the time looked like putting Denmark into the quarter-finals, Bendtner dropped his shorts to reveal a pair of boxer shorts bearing the name of bookmaker Paddy Power.
Was it stupid? Undoubtedly. Was it needless? You bet. Was he right to be fined? Well, sure.
But still, the fact that he carried out the act and thought he might get away with it tells us all we need to know, and all we have ever needed to know, about the enigma that is Nicklas Bendtner.
The same unwarranted self-belief that convinces you to carry out the act is what allows you to put yourself in that position in the first place.
Only a player mindless enough to think shilling for a bookie would carry no consequences could also think himself capable of dragging Denmark back from a two-goal deficit against Ronaldo, Moutinho and co.
In 2017, still only at the age of 29, Bendtner enjoyed his best goalscoring season, scoring 23 times in 43 games for Rosenborg.
And while some might call that season an outlier, or a sign of the paucity of the Norwegian top flight, Bendtner would surely disagree.
Indeed, we imagine this is the tally he knew was always just around the corner, and the number of goals he'd surely have scored for Arsenal if only they had built their team around him.
And, you know what, who are we to disagree with him?

Principal Phil Bressler said he will miss his students the most.
"There are a lot of faces that I will really miss in this school," Bressler said.
Looking around, Bressler would be seen standing at every game, concert, meet, tournament, show or contest. He would make sure to greet, highfive or give knuckles to each and every student walking through the halls.
Bressler has been working at Paola High School for six years. He resigned to accept a job in Pittsburgh as principal. He said that he was contacted on Friday to see if he was still interested, had an interview Friday afternoon, interviewed Monday morning and was offered the job Monday afternoon. By Monday evening he had accepted the job.
"My friend always pushed me to be an administrator and I decided to stay in Paola," Bressler said. "Later on, God opened another door for me and I decided to take the offer and my friend's advice."
Bressler said that going from a 4A to a 5A school will be different, but good.
"I think the toughest thing about this transfer will be learning over 900 new names," he said. "Although my family and I will miss many things here, God opened a door for us and I believe it was for a reason."
He said that he is very strong in his faith and believes that God will open some doors, but not others. Bressler said that he lives by the bible verse hanging on his refrigerator: Jeremiah 29:11. The verse says " 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"
He said that he hopes his kids will learn to face their fears as a result of his resignation.
"I could have stayed in the safety of what I know, but I want my kids to learn to face their fears, branch out and explore," Bressler said.
His son Caden Bressler, 9, said that he will miss his baseball teammates the most and that he's nervous for the move because he doesn't know what to expect.
"I know this move will be hard, but it's for the best for our family." Caden said.

It is often unavoidable to make a last minute booking for a flight while conducting the activities of your business. However, you should be concerned when your employees consistently make last minute bookings even when a trip was expected. According to data collected by Concur, any ticket booked less than 7 days to the travel date tends to cost a minimum of 44 percent more than tickets booked 15 days ahead. The travel management experts at CrewFacilities.com offer the following tips that you can implement to save most of this money that is lost when employees book flights at the last minute.
Simplify the booking process. It is possible that your booking processes are so difficult to use that employees put off making a booking until they can't avoid it anymore. You can fix this problem by working with a travel management company like CrewFacilities.com so that they can avail better booking tools and also train your employees to use those user-friendly tools.
Consider smaller airports and alternative routes. For those times when a last minute booking is unavoidable, advise employees to look into alternative routes or smaller airports so that the ticket can be less costly than one booked at a larger airport.
Travel midweek. Another way to lower the cost of last minute tickets is by booking a flight that travels midweek instead of early in the week. Midweek flights tend to be more affordable because the majority of the business travelers will have left at the start of the week, so demand for tickets may be lower midweek.
Educate employees and enforce travel policy compliance. CrewFacilities also advises business owners to continually educate their employees about the importance of booking tickets well in advance of a trip. CrewFacilities can also institute a system to alert you each time an employee is making a last minute booking. You can then reprimand such errant employees and bring them back in line if the last minute booking was avoidable.
Reward policy compliance. You can also reduce the high cost of last minute bookings by rewarding the employees who are consistent in following the travel policy. Gift cards and extra days of leisure when they travel are examples of incentives that can motivate employees to comply with the travel policy. The money you save in this way will be far more than what you spend on the reward program.
The extra cost incurred on a single ticket booked at the last minute may not be huge, but those costs quickly add up over the course of a year. It is therefore advisable for you to engage a travel management firm like Crewfacilities.com if you are consistently overshooting your travel budget because of last minute bookings. We will work to bring the expenditure down and your bottom line will no longer be dented.

August 31 marks the 52nd anniversary of the passing of Kyoda Juhatsu sensei. On that day I will keep Kyoda sensei in my thoughts as I practice the kata he passed on through Kanzaki sensei and now Ikeda sensei. Read more →
Tag: Kyoda Juhatsu
From time to time Kanzaki sensei would recollect to me about his time learning Tou'on-ryu from Kyoda Juhatsu in the 1950s and 1960s. He shared some great stories, but often he would tell me how much of an influence Higaonna Kanryo had on Kyoda. I don't doubt this as there are many anecdotes and much circumstantial evidence to support this. One only has to look at the name of Kyoda's style Tou'on-ryu [東恩流] which uses the first two kanji of Kanryo's last name, Higaonna [東恩納]. However, I think there is more going on in that name than meets the eye. Read more →
I sometimes get emails asking me how Tou'on-ryu differs from Goju-ryu. These questions can range from the technical and mechanical, and into the philosophical. Read more →
Nepai was once an obscure kata in the Karate world but over the decades it has become common-place. I find the increase in the number of Nepai Karate kata that you can view on the internet baffling but the main reason I think this was is because Nepai was retained by very few Okinawa Karate styles. The only two that I am aware of were Mabuni Kenwa's Shito-ryu and Kyoda Juhatsu's Tou'on-ryu. As the story goes both men learned it from Go Kenki during their involvement in the Karate Study Group. Go Kenki, as we all know, was the Chinese tea merchant and supposed crane boxer who immigrated to Okinawa at the turn of the 20th century. Perhaps other students involved with the Karate Study Group may have been familiar with it, but as far as I know they never passed it down.Read more →

This past Saturday morning police arrested Breyana Gallagher, 22, of University Place, Washington under suspicion of drunk driving. Now you just know with a name like "Breyana," this has got to be a good story. The only more police-blotter worthy white girl name is one of any one of those normal names with "Lynne" attached at the end of them.
Police observed her swerving in-and-out of traffic, passing up a red light as well as doing it all while traveling the wrong direction down Highway 509. When police tried to pull her over, Gallagher sped away and they had to eventually use a pit maneuver to force her silver Honda Civic to a stop.
After her car was finally stopped, Gallagher refused police commands to get out of the car, so officers broke the driver's side window. That is when they discovered that she was wearing absolutely nothing more than a bra.
Via KOMO News:
"It's not every day you find someone naked driving down the street – especially in the condition she was in," said Sgt. Tom Thompson with the Fife Police Department. "A female corrections officer even tried to help her to get into a jail outfit. She didn't want to have any of that."
Gallagher has no criminal history, state records show. The lifelong Pierce County resident has a few speeding tickets, the prosecutor's office said Monday.
"She's a good girl," Gallagher's grandfather said after her court appearance Monday. He wouldn't elaborate.
Gallagher told police she thought she was in Kitsap County. She was taken to the Pierce County Jail and booked for investigation of eluding and driving under the influence. Read More…
I just love the above quote from the Police Sergeant about not every day you find someone driving down the street naked, "especially in the condition she was in." Apparently sober girls must drive around naked all the time.

Notch felt luckier than when he was ten years old and gramma gave him his first real meatstick a lever action 30-06 rifle. He decided it was time for a selfie and ran to get a camera.
He entered the wheelhouse and the computer screen had a popup saying that a wireless network had been detected and was asking for permission to hook up.
"Oh hell to the yea" Notch said as he jabbed his finger on the return key about thirty times until "negotiating with host… please wait…."appeared.
Notch was sure no screen had been stared at this hard since 56K internet came out. But the asshole who sold this boat anchor to the ship owner wasn't lying when he had claimed this bitch was capable of finding service almost anywhere because Notch took back every thing he had ever said about geeks and nerds as downloading files appeared. The hard drive spooled up to speed and the red light glared as notch chanted "open open open".
Filis saw the creature attending some equipment and then she received a request for contact, she looked and was astonished to realize that the ship had a crude A.I. that was attemping to make contact, she firewalled it to be safe and took a peek, it looked safe enough so she dove in and found a massive storage unit attached to a massively capable and very compact video data processor plus a mind boggling array of of miscellaneous programs that had never been even used as far as she could tell, she skimmed thru pulling data files containing audiovisual content and then found the holy grail. What appeared to be a dictionary cross referenced with pictures. She would be speaking like a native of his home system in no time.
"Hi" a voice said."my name is Filis"
The speakers all over the boat were turned on as always so the voice sound like it was all over.
Notch grabbed the closest Mic pushed the button and said hello on vhf channel 16.
A texted sitrep report arrived from the brainship that made the admiral very happy, Angel was alive and expecting a full recovery in a few days. First Contact was now going far better than he had any right to expect. The only downside was the vast enemy fleet amassing right on there doorstep. The only reason they were still alive was because the vermin for reasons no one could fathom didn't like to enter nebulas. And now that his daughter had sent the spacestation away it was unlikely that the vermin would sniff them out. How she managed that was not in the sitrep. But he himself had thought about the problem and the only solution would have been a crash landing dirtside. She had owned that station the longest and the admiral had lost track of were she had stashed it from those lesepeen bums that had tried to steal it for the old mud processor that Angel had salvaged repaired and lovingly installed. She had had a friend of a friend order the parts. The parts were delivered by outsiders along with the first of many orders for the super pure ceramics that were produced by that cash cow.
He monitored the exchange as well as he could but it was scrolling by so fast it was hard to follow. It took almost an hour and a half before he realized that cold hearted bitch wasn't a team player. In fact she was asking it right now if it ever thought of riding in a spaceship. He screamed an oath that the translating software refused to translate. He then ran threw his own solders in his headlong plunge downstairs cursing in languages not in use anywhere in this galaxy and headed out the door.

Advice on fuel figures
Car dealers have been advised to stick to official figures when providing consumers with statistics and other information about fuel economy. That's the advice from David Vinsen, chief executive of the Imported Moto Vehicle Industry Association, in the wake of a ruling made by the Disputes Tribunal. The tribunal has awarded a buyer from Marton $6,000 in compensation after upholding an application for damages based on what the consumer was told when he was purchasing it. "This is all about the need for the industry to understand the issues around fuel-economy certificates," Vinsen told Autofile Online. "Basically, if the information a consumer is supplied with comes from an official database, then the dealer should be covered because it is indemnified by the government against claims. "Our advice to registered motor-vehicle traders is to stick to the information available on the RightCar website when it comes to fuel-economy figures. "It is also worth explaining to customers, especially when they show an interest in such figures, that the calculations on fuel-economy labels, which must be displayed on vehicles, come from EECA and they are based on laboratory conditions that are unlikely to be achieved in real-life except if a car is being driven in an exceptionally fuel-economy manner. "It should be stressed that majority of people will never achieve those figures unless vehicles is being driven very, very carefully. When consumers are interested in fuel-economy figures, dealers need to take great care about what they say and stick to the official figures."

One of a Kind Community Support association to be headed up by Michael Ticehurst
Members of One of a Kind Community Support's committee will work towards restructuring the business for the future, with former chief executive officer Michael Ticehurst soon to take the lead.
Creditors voted at a recent meeting for the association to enter into a deed of company arrangement (DOCA) to sort out financial affairs and appoint Mr Ticehurst to the position.
Administrator Andrew Barnden said the DOCA will allow for all debts to be paid in full and all outstanding amounts owing to employees to be paid.
"The [DOCA] has to be executed within 15 business days and then, following that, the association is handed back to the new interim committee, then I'll distribute the funds to creditors while the association will continue to move forward," Mr Barnden said.
"All premises will close down over the next short period of time, except for Tamworth's Hill Street store, sorting centre and community support centre on Denne Street."
Read also:
Mr Barnden said the closing stores - Gunnedah, Armidale, Narrabri and Toowoomba - may open again in the future.
"There's a possibility under the new management that stores will reopen in due course, but it depends on how they're trading and how they will take [the business] into the future," he said.
All clothing and other items for sale in the stores will be sent to Tamworth's sorting centre, where they will be "put through the Hill Street premises". Gunnedah and Armidale's buildings will be "returned back to landlords".
The Namoi Valley Independent contacted Mr Ticehurst, but he said he could not provide more detail.
"Our small committee is unable to comment on any One of a Kind Community Support matters until we are formally appointed. We expect this to be around December 10," he said.
One of a Kind's Gunnedah store will close next Monday, after just over a year's trading in town.
The closure came after the charity association appointed Mr Barnden because of concerns that "cash inflows [weren't] sufficient to cover future outflows".
The store is holding a sale on all of its remaining items before its final day of trading.
It first opened in October 2018 on Barber Street before relocating to Conadilly Street in August of this year.

John Fund looks at Judge Roy Moore and speculates on a Roy Moore presidential candidacy — one that would lose, but could put the country in the hands of the Democrats.
A big threat to President Bush's re-election could come if his conservative base chooses not to turn out and vote in large numbers this fall. That's one reason he told a congressional Republican retreat on Saturday that he supports spending caps on the exploding federal budget. But the president could also still face a challenge from a social conservative running as a third-party candidate.
In the past such candidacies have fizzled. But Roy Moore, the ousted Alabama Supreme Court justice who made headlines last year by refusing to remove a Ten Commandments monument he placed on public property, could make a difference in a close race. And just last week, he refused to rule out a presidential candidacy.

Local Plan to 2030 - Main Modifications September 2018
Main Modifications to Ashford Local Plan
Policy HOU16 – Traveller Accommodation (MM69)
Amend supporting text to read:
5.108 5.108 The need to plan for the housing requirements of the gGypsy and tTraveller population is in line with Government guidance contained in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and its companion document 'Planning Policy for Traveller Sites'. These documents ensure that everyone, including members of the travelling community has the opportunity of living in a decent home.
Setting a Pitch Target for Travellers in the Local Plan National Policy
5.109 5.109 The 'Planning Policy for Traveller Sites' (PPTS, August, 2015) sets out the Government's planning policy specifically relating to Travellers and this document has the main overarching aim: "to ensure fair and equal treatment for Travellers, in a way that facilitates the traditional and nomadic way of life of Travellers while respecting the interests of the settled community" (paragraph 3). It requires that Local Planning Authorities assess their own levels of need and plan positively in managing Gypsy and Traveller development.
5.111 5.111 The 2015 PPTS [1] replaced the 2012 PPTS, at the same time redefineding the definition of those who qualifies qualify as a 'travellers'[2] as follows: Under the new definition travellers who have ceased to travel are now excluded. The new definition defines travellers as: "Persons of nomadic habit of life whatever their race or origin, including such persons who on grounds only of their own or their family's or dependants' educational or health needs or old age have ceased to travel temporarily, but excluding members of an organised group of travelling showpeople or circus people travelling together as such". Permissions for Gypsy and Traveller sites will be subject to conditions limiting their occupation to those who meet the definition of Gypsies and Travellers as defined in planning policy.
Objectively Assessing Local Traveller Need
5.113 Therefore, iIn order to achieve the overarching aim of Government policy the Council commissioned a Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) in 2013, which provided an Objectively Assessed Pitch Need (OAPN) in the borough. Then following the publication of the new PPTS the Council undertook a piece of work [3], re-assessing the travelling habits of travellers using the GTAA raw data. This piece of work removed any travellers that no longer travel, to ensure that any future need is consistent with the requirements of the PPTS policy. The following results have therefore been defined.
5.114 The 2013 GTAA outlined a pitch requirement of 57 pitches for the 15-year period 2013 - 2028. However, following reassessment to align the analysis with the 2015 definition, of the base data a new OAPN requirement of 48 pitches between 2013 and 2028 can be has been established. As the Local Plan runs to 2030, on a pro rata basis this would result in an OAPN of 54 pitches by 2030.
How many pitches have been provided to date Pitch provision to date
5.115 The Council has a good record of delivering Traveller pitches on appropriate sites and since the GTAA was published 31 pitches have received full planning permission.
5.116 Using the new OAPN target above, this leaves a residual need to provide at least 23 pitches by 2030.
Achieving Delivering the Objectively Assessed Pitch Need (OAPN)
5.117 The council has considered whether all 23 pitches should be provided through site allocations to ensure the OAPN has been achieved from the outset. However, dDue to the current lack of suitable, available sites, this it has not been possible to deliver a sufficient numbers of pitches required to meet the need. To deliver the remaining need, the council has adopted a staged approach. In the first instance, this plan seeks to deliver sites through allocations and a windfall policy. The Council is proposing to provide 7 3 pitches through site allocations in this plan, see policies S43 and S44, with the remaining 20 pitches to be delivered through a 'windfall policy'.
Whilst this approach offers an appropriate interim measure, it is the intention to deliver the remaining need through site allocations. For this reason, the Council is in the process of delivering a separate Development Plan Document (DPD) to meet the needs of Gypsies, Travellers and travelling showpeople. The DPD will identify additional sites to meet the need identified in the GTAA. The timescale for the adoption of the DPD is set out in the Local Development Scheme (March 2018) and adoption is anticipated in summer 2019.
5.118 Also, due to the substantial number of windfall sites that have been delivered since 2013, the Council considers that the remainder of the OAPN requirement is likely to be achieved via a windfall approach. For example, even a modest continued delivery of 2 windfall pitches per year would mean 30 new pitches over 15 years, more than meeting the required need.
5.119 Therefore, the most pragmatic approach for delivery of the OAPN would be to deliver pitches through a combination of windfalls and allocations. At the same time, to ensure resilience in this approach it is proposed to set out a criteria based policy, requiring the retention of all existing Traveller sites to ensure their continual supply in the market.
Traveller Windfall Policy
5.120 To deliver pitches in the period up to the adoption of the DPD, the council will implement a windfall policy. Ashford has a long history of delivering Traveller accommodation, especially through the provision of 'windfalls'. 31 pitches have been provided through this means since the publication of the Borough's GTAA.
This Local Plan is allocating two sites to provide 7 pitches. Therefore, within this Local Plan there is an interim requirement to provide a minimum of 16 pitches through windfall sites in order to meet the OAPN. Because there is a shortfall of sites coming forward it is considered that the strategy of providing some pitches through windfalls maximises the opportunity for new sites to come forward without relying on a single means of provision, for example the allocation of new sites only.
5.121 A specific, clearly worded windfall policy enables the Council to deal with planning applications for traveller sites on a site by site basis and would allow suitable sites to continue to be permitted until the DPD is adopted, provided they meet criteria set out in the policy. To this end, suitable sites, which are well-related to existing and proposed services and facilities and which would not adversely impact on a protected landscape, including internationally protected sites, AONBs or their settings, National Nature Reserves, SSSIs, Ancient Woodland, local wildlife sites and nature reserves or designated area, that may previously not have been identified have the opportunity to come forward in the plan period. In addition, development should not adversely impact on the key characteristics of Landscape Character Areas.
5.122 The 'windfall' policy below sets out a threshold to provide for additional small sites in the borough. This approach is consistent with the approach set out in the PPTS (Paragraph 10d), which states that in producing Local Plans, Local planning authorities should 'relate the number of pitches or plots to the circumstances of the specific size and location of the site and the surrounding population's size and density'.
5.123 Local evidence, identified from the bi-annual gypsy count [4] suggests that Travellers in Ashford tend to reside on small sites which accommodate their immediate and extended family. Coupled with the lack of available land identified in the GTAA and the long standing issues managing larger sites, a number of smaller sites spread throughout the district would be a more effective means of providing sustainable and flexible accommodation to meet the need. 5.124 For example, Tthe Council owned site at Chilmington Green, which has 16 pitches, often has empty and long standing vacant pitches, with Gypsies and Travellers stating themselves that they would rather live with their extended family than on a site which supplies pitches on the open market.
5.124.1 To address the accommodation needs of this group more fully, the Council will prepare a separate Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation DPD, as outlined within the 2017 Local Development Scheme (LDS).
5.125 Finally, the impact of new Traveller accommodation on existing communities and how well proposals can be integrated is an important consideration in the determination of applications for Traveller provision. New applications will need to adhere to the criteria in Policy HOU16 below to ensure that this impact is mitigated.
New paragraph after 1.125:
Permissions for Gypsy and Traveller sites will be subject to conditions limiting their occupation to those who meet the definition of Gypsies and Travellers as defined in planning policy.
Amend policy wording as follows:
Policy HOU16 - Traveller Accommodation
Planning permission for expansion to existing sites or new sites to accommodate Gypsy and traveller accommodation or accommodation for travelling showpeople will only be permitted outside of allocated sites if the following criteria are met:
a) The Council is satisfied that there is a clearly established need for the site and the proposals cannot be accommodated on an existing available site or allocated site;
b) The site would not accommodate more than 5 pitches or make an existing site exceed 5 pitches in size;
c) The site would provide a good living environment free from the risk of flooding and risks to health through contamination, noise or pollution;
d) Occupation is limited to those meeting the definition of Gypsies and Travellers or Travelling Showpeople in the relevant national planning policy;
e) Local services and facilities – such as shops, public transport, or and schools, medical and social services, can be readily accessed from the site;
f) The site is capable of being provided with on-site services such as water supply, sewage disposal and power supply;
g) The form and extent of the accommodation does not adversely affect the visual or other essential qualities of the AONB and its setting, SSSI, Ancient woodland, international, national or local nature reserve or wildlife site., or the key characteristics of a Landscape Character Area;
h) Access to the site which does not endanger highway safety for vehicles and pedestrians can be provided;
i) Proposals incorporate a landscape strategy, which will be required by use of planning conditions, where mitigation of the impact on the landscape is necessary to protect the quality of the surrounding landscape.
Add additional policy criteria:
j) The scale and siting of the site, along with its design, layout and any boundary treatments, should take into account the key characteristics of Landscape Character Area within which it is located.
k) New sites or enlargement of existing sites are of a scale appropriate to their surroundings and would not individually or cumulatively dominate the nearest settled community, cause significant visual harm to an area and its landscape, or unduly impact on the capacity of local services.
[1] In accordance with PPTS, Annex 1 (4), the term "travellers" refers to "gypsies and travellers" and "travelling showpeople"

I literally joined Rotten Tomatoes for the SOLE PURPOSE of saying that this was THE WORST MOVIE THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. It is an abomination. It is awful. It is horrible. There was not a single redeeming quality about this movie. It was the worst thing that I have ever seen. PLEASE DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. Everyone involved with this movie should be banished to Siberia of movie land. Let me be clear, this was the worst movie that I have ever seen. Shame on everyone involved with this movie. Creators of great movies everywhere should be ashamed to be in the same category as this abomination. HORRIBLE!!!!!!! If I haven't been clear enough, DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE EVER IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ELSE WITH YOUR HARD EARNED TIME AND MONEY.
There is a part of this movie that is absolutely horrible: the fact that Max has to be ok with a judge fondling his private parts in order to be the hero. Sure, this happens to real dogs in real dog shows, but in this movie the dogs are given voices and personalities, and are therefore as "human" as they can be, so saying that they have to allow themselves to be fondled is a really horrible message to be giving to children of any age. Sure, the story line needed to give the hero a challenge that he'd have to overcome ... so pick something else, there are many other kinds of challenges that could have been used.
This movie is sending kids messages that it's ok to let someone touch your private parts, even when you don't want them to? This is a major theme in the movie - where the dog has to endure unwanted touching in order to advance in a competition and the dog is told to just go to a 'zen' place.Disturbingly, these are similar tactics child abusers use when grooming children-telling them to pretend they are somewhere else, and that they will get a reward for withstanding their discomfort. Children's movies must be held to a higher standard, and must teach children bodily autonomy, the ability to say 'no' and safety, not confusing messages endorsing unwanted genital touching.

In case you haven't heard, Super Bowl XLVII is a week away and it pits San Francisco, going for their record-tying 6th Lombardi trophy and Baltimore who is going for their second. On a personal level and for many of my fellow Steelers' brethren, this match-up is a nightmare wrapped in a horror movie.
It's a catch-22 of epic proportions. Root for the 49ers to beat the hated-Ravens? If they win, they tie the Steelers with six Super Bowl titles. Root for the Ravens and you've pretty much turned in your card as a Steelers' fan. It's a horrible proposition for all of us, unless you play for the Pittsburgh Steelers where apparently its' OK to root for your most hated rival.
In the last week, Steelers' All-Pro centrer Maurkice Pouncey announced that he was rooting for the Ravens to win. In essence going with the 'represent the AFC' line of thinking which as a player, I suppose I understand to a certain degree.
This morning on Twitter, Charlie Batch also threw his support behind Baltimore and went so far as to say "he'd like to see Ray Lewis go out the same way Jerome Bettis did." Ummmmm, what? Let's get the facts straight Uncle Charlie.
First of all, Jerome Bettis going home to play in Super Bowl XL was a huge story but Bettis didn't exactly find every camera within a 5-mile radius of him to heap praise on God and tell everyone about it. Most of us knew that it would be the Bus' last game but in his defense, the media put far more into the story than he did. I know he enjoyed the attention, but he didn't seek it out like a certain purple-clad number 52.
Secondly, Bettis had never won a Super Bowl let alone get to one. Ray Lewis won the title in his fourth season so he already has a ring. Sure, any professional athlete could only dream of winning the championship in his very final game but there are only so many John Elway stories out there.
The bigger issue in all of this centers around the decisions of both Pouncey and Batch to use social media to announce their line of thinking. Do we as fans take our rivalries too seriously? Of course we do and we need to remember that NFL players do in fact belong to a unique brotherhood where men on both sides of the field may be rivals but also may be friends.
A lot was made about Ryan Clark going over to the Ravens' locker room after they played earlier this season. Personally, I think it wasn't as big of a deal as it made out to be but where Clark erred was in his timing and his location. You have to consider the ramifications of such decisions.
The same could be said now for Pouncey and Batch who have really thrown themselves into an unnecessary cauldron of pissed off Steelers' fans who cannot believe the men they root for are supporting the enemy.
Do we all need to take a step back and breathe a bit here? Your damn right we do. These men are entitled to support whomever they choose. My problem and the problem so many have with their decision, is why make it public? The comments of both men can do no good for anyone in the black 'n gold.
As one of my very awesome and opinionated twitter followers put this morning, "Do you think any Ravens were cheering for us in any of our recent Super Bowl appearances?"
I think not.

Printing Industry - Shark Wheel Tape
Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information and for ordering
Shark Wheel's newest innovation.
Problem and Solution
In the printing world, a spool of material (could be a newspaper, labels printed on everyday food products, etc) moves over retraction rollers, where the material is printed on. After the printing is completed, the material moves over more rollers before feeding into a final printed spool. All of this occurs in one machine with 20-30 rollers on average.
The issue: the faster the material goes through the machine, the more the material moves off-center. (To envision this, think of a printer at your home or work where the scanner or the printer starts printing paper at an angle and gets jammed) This is a huge problem and the only way to mitigate this is to tension the material. This means that tension rods stretch the material tightly on the long ends so the material is forced toward center. The stretching of the material creates a whole host of other problems where the printing has to be reconfigured and many other things are compromised. Overall, the issue of centering makes printers have to use tension rods.
Enter Shark Wheel Tape. The hypothesis was that the left-right-left-right oscillations of the sinusoidal design would naturally push the material toward center. The same way the left-right-left-right shape of the wheel averages to perfectly center and our wheel moves effectively in a straight line.If we could outfit all existing rollers with tape that had a raised Shark Wheel pattern on top, the material would only touch the Shark Wheel portion.
The Test
In the past few months, Shark Wheel's first test on prototype 1.0 was conducted. Tension was put on the lowest setting and the machine speed was turned up high. The result? Shark Wheel Tape produced a 20% improvement over every other solution that exists in the industry today.
Shark Wheel Tape just launched at the Labelexpo in Brussels, Belgium in 2019.
