Organized Chaos: the Life of the Altar Boy
The various roles of altar servers in the Tridentine Rite
May 9, 2018
It is always nice to see altar servers performing their duties during Mass. They help the priest and help us focus on the ceremony. Behind the altar, though, the atmosphere is not as tranquil. Preparing for Mass can be quite the undertaking.
The altar boys at St. Joseph's Church in Richmond, Virginia, have the system divided into distinct parts.
Each server is assigned a position for every Sunday of the month. To make things easier for everyone there is a distinct chain of command.
The Master of Ceremony, or M.C. does most of the work. During Mass he makes sure that everyone else knows what they are doing. Second in command is the Thurifer. He is responsible for the thurible and must keep the coals hot enough to burn the incense.
Next are the two Acolytes. They do the harder jobs like moving the book and helping assemble the chalice, and always work as a team.
After the acolytes are the Crucifer who carries the cross, the Boat Bearer who carries the incense, and the Torchbearers.
Besides leading the other servers during Mass, the M.C. also supervises preparation and cleanup. His job is, by far, the most complex. He must arrive in the sacristy and be in cassock and surplus at least thirty minutes before mass begins.
First, he checks to see if the Pastor or Parochial Vicar will be celebrating the Mass and if the corresponding chalice is assembled with purificator, paten, host, pall, chalice veil, burse and corporal.
Once the chalice is on the altar, he checks to see if the missal is set to the correct page, and, if there is an asperges or vidi aquam, he makes sure that the correct chasuble and manaple are on the sedalia, and that the aspergillum and prayer card are on the step.
Returning to the sacristy, he makes sure that the remaining vestments and cope are on the vesting bench.
As the M.C. leaves the altar, the Acolytes make sure the altar candles are lit and the cruets are filled and on the credence table.
The Crucifer then has to make sure that the gate in the communion rail is open. The most important preparation is finding the tabernacle key and putting it on the altar.
The M.C. then has the sound system turned on and everything is ready.
Even with all this preparation things can go wrong. Usually, it is very hard to predict what will occur. On one occasion a ringer from the altar bell came loose and rolled across the floor. One server had static cling in his cassock throughout Mass.
On very rare occasions servers may pass out due to heat. Often solving one problem can lead to a whole new category of others. To combat the heat, a fan was placed in the sanctuary pointed at the altar. Unfortunately, it was directly in front of where the Thurifer stands. As well as being in the way, it would suck the smoke in the back and blast it across the church. The fan has since been moved to the opposite side of the altar.
After Mass, everything that was set up must be put back.
The ashes in the thurible have to be dumped, the candles must be put out, and the cruets have to be washed, refilled, and put in the refrigerator. The aspergillum must be emptied into the holy water container and the cope must be put on a hanger; a two-man operation.
The altar boys at St. Joseph's continue to improve their system. Once a month they have a large practice to keep everyone on the ball, and are constantly giving tips, organizing micro practices and brushing up on their Latin.
They work hard to ensure that the Old Rite is not lost.

BEIJING — Police tightened security Sunday as they investigated the fatal stabbing of the father of a former U.S. Olympian, an attack that stunned the athletic community and embarrassed Chinese authorities determined to hold the most successful Summer Games ever.
Todd and Barbara Bachman of Lakeville, Minnesota — parents of 2004 volleyball Olympian Elisabeth "Wiz" Bachman and in-laws of U.S. men's volleyball coach Hugh McCutcheon — were attacked by a Chinese man while visiting the 13th-century Drum Tower on Saturday. The assault came only hours after the spectacular opening ceremony for the games.
The U.S. Olympic Committee confirmed Bachman died from knife wounds and that Barbara Bachman suffered life-threatening injuries. She and their Chinese tour guide, who was also injured in the attack, were being treated in a Beijing hospital.
The committee said Sunday that Mrs. Bachman suffered multiple lacerations and stab wounds. She underwent eight hours of surgery and was in critical but stable condition.
Rob Browning, leader of the men's volleyball team, said the team was united in supporting the Bachmans.
"We are absolutely devastated by what has occurred, for their loss and for everything they are going through," Browning said. "We are a family, and we'll get through this together as a family."
U.S. President George W. Bush, in the Chinese capital to attend some Olympic events and meet with Chinese leaders, thanked President Hu Jintao on Sunday for his government's handling of the attack.
"Your government has been very attentive, very sympathetic, and I appreciate that a lot," Bush said.
Hu said his government took the incident "very seriously" and pledged to keep Washington apprised of the investigation.
Elisabeth Bachman was with her parents at the time of the attack, but was uninjured. Her father was chief executive officer for Bachman's, Inc., a home-and-garden center based in Minneapolis.
Assailant leaps to his death
Shortly after the attack, the assailant, Tang Yongming, 47, leapt to his death from a balcony on the Drum Tower, just five miles (eight kilometers) from the main Olympics site, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
Built in the 13th century, the Drum Tower is one of the few ancient structures in fast-developing Beijing. Drummers pounded their massive instruments on the hour to let people in the imperial city know the time.
It was closed to tourists Sunday, a note at the ticket booth asking for visitors' understanding. Someone had left a bouquet of yellow and white lilies and chrysanthemums at the entrance, flowers of mourning in China.
The midday attack Saturday sent shock waves through the games precinct after the Olympics' spectacular opening ceremony had set an ebullient tone.
There was no indication that the assailant knew that his victims had any connection to the games, according to Olympic and Chinese authorities.
Violent crime against foreigners is rare in tightly controlled China, and the assault occurred despite major security measures that have blanketed the capital city during the Olympics. A 100,000-strong security force plus countless volunteer guards have been deployed to protect against any trouble.
Security upped at scenic spots
Wang Wei, vice president of the Beijing Olympic organizing committee, said Sunday that security in and around the Olympic venues was already sufficient but would be increased at scenic spots around the city.
He said Chinese investigators and U.S. Embassy officials believe Saturday's attack was "an isolated incident" and suggested that such random acts are difficult to prevent.
"Beijing is a safe city, but unfortunately we are not immune to violent acts," Wang said at daily media briefing.
Interpol said initial investigations found nothing indicating the murder was linked to terrorism or organized crime.
An initial investigation showed that Tang had no job in Hangzhou when he came to Beijing on Aug. 1, a spokesman with the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau told Xinhua. Zhejiang police said Tang had worked for a factory in Hangzhou, but had resigned, Xinhua said.
He and his wife divorced in 2006. He sold his apartment the same year and had lived in a rented house since then.
"Tang has no criminal record. His neighbors said they hadn't seen any abnormal behavior from him before he left Hangzhou," Xinhua quoted a spokesman for the Zhejiang Provincial Public Security Bureau as saying. His name was not used, as is customary.
U.S. Ambassador Clark T. Randt visited the victims in the hospital, and the embassy issued a statement later that said the attack "appears to be a senseless act of violence."

The Beatles to publish official hardback book 'The Beatles: Get Back'
The first official The Beatles book since the turn of the millennium has been announced, telling the story of the band's final studio album 'Let It Be'.
The Beatles: Get Back, a 240-page hardback, will be published worldwide on August 31, 2021. You can see a trailer for it below.
The book begins at the start of 1969, shortly after the release of their chart-topping 'The White Album', and covers sessions for their final LP as well as their now-iconic rooftop performance – their last ever gig.
It features transcribed conversations drawn from the band's 120 hours of studio recording sessions, as well as hundreds of previously unpublished images from the archives of Linda McCartney and acclaimed photographer Ethan A. Russell, whose pictures feature on the sleeve of 'Le It Be'.
It features a foreword from director Peter Jackson, whose documentary about the album, also titled The Beatles: Get Back, will be released shortly before the book on August 27. Novelist Hanif Kureishi has written the introduction.
While the Let It Be sessions have often been described as fractious, Kureishi writes: "In fact this was a productive time for them, when they created some of their best work. And it is here that we have the privilege of witnessing their early drafts, the mistakes, the drift and digressions, the boredom, the excitement, joyous jamming and sudden breakthroughs that led to the work we now know and admire."
It's the first standalone Beatles book officially released by the band since The Beatles Anthology, which was a bestseller when published in the year 2000.
Meanwhile, John Lennon's 80th birthday is set to be marked with the release of a new remix album called 'Gimme Some Truth. The Ultimate Mixes' next month.

Super Star Mahesh Babu's latest release Spyder becomes the biggest film in his career to have opened to such a big release. Released simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil, Spyder grossed a whopping amount of INR 45 crores on the first day of release. Directed by A.R. Murugadoss, Spyder features Mahesh Babu in the role of an intelligence officer, a role he hasn't essayed in his career so far. Spyder opened with huge expectations on it and day 1 of the release was the biggest grosser in South Indian cinema after Baahubali.
As of Monday evening, the collections of Spyder crossed the INR 100 crores according to the makers. The numbers include the overseas collection, which has gone higher over the weekend. Even though the film received mixed response on day 2, the collections seem to have gone up over the weekend in India and overseas as well. Released during the festive season of Dussehra, Spyder seems to have suck struck gold at the box office.
Besides Super Star Mahesh, Spyder also features SJ Suryah as the antagonist while Rakul Preet plays the leading lady in the film. The film also features actor Bharath, of Boys fame, in a brief role which has few negative shades too. Movie-buffs and Mahesh Babu fans are lauding the efforts of the actor's attempt to do an offbeat subject with commercial viability.

Smoke sticks can get hot and it is not recommend to hold them. Smoke sticks perform best if placed on level, hard surface. May be taped to PVC, wood or metal stick to be held if desired.
The easy to remove outer paper makes smoke sticks easy to disguise so only the person lighting them knows the color.

The debt snowball is a process you may be familiar with, especially if you've done any listening to Dave Ramsey in the past 25 years. But the concept of the snowball transcends just the idea of paying off debt. Indeed, almost every area of our life is in one way or another a sort of snowball that we are forming. Let's philosophize for a bit…
Each of us in our lives is moving towards something. No person remains completely static; nothing in this realm remains static. Either we are progressing towards something and are growing, or we are regressing into something entirely different, and are atrophying.
Consider how that may look like in a person's life. A person who is applying a snowball method to their entire life will be growing in several aspects. They may be using the debt snowball to get their financial life in order, but they may also be forming a spiritual snowball by going back to church, reading their Bible more, or spending more time in prayer. Those activities build upon themselves over time, and as we do them more frequently, with higher skill and deeper intimacy, the result becomes better and better in whatever the subject may be. We may say that this person is taking a conscious and active role in forming their destiny, and are being proactive rather than reactive.
That same principle also applies to someone who is on the opposite end, who is atrophying because they are not making a conscious effort to grow. Rather than a snowball of success, financial savings, and deep, intimate relationships, this person may be growing successive failures, debts, and toxic relationships.
All of the above things take work for one to have success with any of them. No one magically happens to have millions of dollars in their retirement accounts, or wakes up one morning and suddenly realizes they have a happy marriage.
"How did that happen?!" Said no successful person ever! It is the result of conscious decisions made every single day, with small sacrifices being made along the way in exchange for a brighter tomorrow.
The opposite of that is letting life write your script for you, rather than you taking life by the horns and saying "I will write my own script, please and thank you!" A person who chooses to let life happen to them rather choosing to happen to their life is a person who will easily find him or herself drowning in debt, struggling in their marriage, at a dead-end job, and a building feeling of bitterness and resentment towards the world.
Over time, if not recognized and mitigated, that snowball that this person has formed will continue to form, and it will grow and grow and grow as long as that person lets it. At some point, when life comes along and does its thing, whether it's losing a relative, a job, a house, a spouse, that person's conscious choice to be unconscious will come home to roost, and that person's world will begin to fall apart.
That's a very dark line of thinking, and it's an unpleasant place to go to in our minds. But we don't have to go there, we don't have to let that happen to us. Instead, we can choose to form different snowballs, starting with the seeds of responsibility and determination.
We must first take responsibility for our situation. Many times things happen in life that put us into difficult circumstances, but we must control what we can control, and what we can control is how we react to the things that come our way.
We can either take the grains of sand that have been thrown at us, and get mad about it; or we can learn from those grains of sand, hold onto them dearly, deep down inside of us, and allow those grains to grow into precious pearls.
We can either take the lumps of coal thrown our way and be mad that we didn't receive gold and silver; or we can use that coal to start a fire and keep warm, or remember that under enough pressure, coal becomes diamond.
What are you snowballing? What are you forming in your life? What will happen when that snowball reaches its critical mass? Will your life fall apart, or will you become an even stronger, healthier, and satisfied person. Both of these paths require conscious choices, and one way or another we will go down one of these paths. The choice is ours, what will you decide?

Victor A. Bergman
Of Counsel
Kansas City, Missouri
For years, Victor A. Bergman has represented ordinary America citizens against the powerful.
If he believes your case has merit… if he is convinced your case is provable, he'll fight for you. Once he chooses you, he becomes relentlessly committed to winning your case.
Vic limits the number of cases he takes. Where other trial attorneys may handle scores or hundreds of cases at the same time, Vic files about 10 at any given time. He limits his caseload to ensure that your case receives the time, resources and the experts it needs to deliver the results you deserve.
Vic's results speak for themselves. His peers have placed Vic on the list of "America's Best Lawyers" every year since 1987. They picked him as one of the region's "Super Lawyers" since that designation began in 2005. He was inducted in the American College of Trial Lawyers in 1998, limited to the top 1% of trial lawyers nationwide.
Vic handles every type of personal injury case, the common element being a severe injury or death.
Vic has extensive experience and success in trucking accident cases. In Disidore v. Mail Contractors of America, Inc., Unitran, Inc., Hoovestol, Inc., Holland Hitch Company and The United States, Vic won a $5 million settlement after jury selection in federal court. His client sustained a traumatic brain injury when a semi truck unexpectedly disconnected the second of two 45′ trailers it was pulling on I-70. The disconnected trailer smashed into his client's car, leaving her with permanent brain injury. The trucking company blamed the maintenance company, which blamed the fifth wheel manufacturer, so Vic made claims against them all.
For 30 years, Vic has had a special interest in representing children and their families in obstetrical malpractice and other birth injury cases. In court, he's proven the connection between medical malpractice around the time of birth and cerebral palsy and death.
Vic obtained a verdict of $15 million in Olsen v. Humana, Inc., et al., a case arising from the mismanagement of labor and delivery by nurses and an obstetrician. He won a verdict of $12.9 million in another birth injury case, Jones v. Humana.
Vic's successes in personal injury law are broad and in some cases historical. Vic was a national figure in the legal fight for women who were injured, and for the families of those killed by Toxic Shock Syndrome. In court, Vic proved the correlation between Toxic Shock Syndrome and the use of highly absorbent tampons. Proctor & Gamble paid an undisclosed settlement to the victims and their families in these cases.
In Johnson v. Colt Industries Operating Corporation, Vic won a verdict of $2.25 million, including $1.25 million in punitive damages. In the courtroom, Vic proved the design of the Colt Single Action Revolver, which goes back to 1873 — "The Gun That Won The West" — was defective and unreasonably dangerous.
In Wolfgang v. Mid-America Motorsports, Inc., R.E.D. Racing, Inc. and World of Outlaws, Inc., Vic won a $1.2 million verdict for Hall of Fame Sprint Car driver Doug Wolfgang, against a racetrack and a sanctioning organization, for the failure to provide adequate fire and rescue services for drivers. Wolfgang had crashed during practice and was unconscious in his car. The rescue crew was poorly trained, equipped and prepared, and as a consequence he suffered burn injuries to his lower extremity. The case had major implications for the industry.

Numerous feel that coupons are extremely tough and not really worth the time, but that isn't the case. Read on for coupon guidance that can be used instantly.
Don't buy something only to apply your voucher. It is easy for anyone to really spend their cash with coupons basically because they buy things which are not really needed. Just take coupled discount coupons for information that you need to have so that you're not spending dollars for no reason at all.
Fully grasp promotion insurance policies for wherever you store. A few of the things you must know involve whether they acknowledge competitor coupons, should they double your discount coupons and in case they take Internet discount coupons. When you aren't aware about the insurance Golden Goose SALE policy, then you'll use a difficult experience understanding in the event the discount coupons is bound to be accepted.
You will find good vouchers in numerous areas. The Saturday pieces of paper is usually filled with discount flyers. There are also discount coupons in voucher mailings, food store fliers, and mags. Once you create an e-mail alert, you will certainly be alerted each and every time new vouchers seem on the web.
Generating details when you shop with coupons is smart. When checking issues of your own grocery list, check which you have the individual promotion as well. Recognize how a lot of discount coupons you're planning to use before you decide to enter into the store.
If you require vouchers, it is possible to try looking in the trash! This can be accomplished by using a bare minimum amount of coverage by wearing safety gloves and sorting with the loosened documents when you search for inserts and pamphlets. Several, many individuals basically chuck their discount coupons.
When you clip your vouchers, combine them with your nearby grocery leaflets and shopping list. It might be that going to a a number of shops will create better financial savings than building a single quit.
Be sure to find the best voucher offered. Some companies offer a variety of discount coupons. In other words, there could be one half-off of voucher and also a ten percentage off retail store voucher too. Identify those that help save most. But, think of maintaining equally in the event that or diverse events.
Get used to the acronyms used with coupon codes. Were you aware that the meaning of "BOGO" is that you could buy one object and get an additional free of charge? 'MIR' means postal mail in rebate. These are generally just some of the acronyms used to identify vouchers. Without knowing anything they are, you could be at a disadvantage!
If you want to best use vouchers, go shopping every week. Even though all that you get are definitely the every week special deals, shopping each week makes it worth while. Retailers manage each week discount solutions that you can use to enhance your personal cost savings.
Keep in mind that they coupon codes they present you with when you have a look at cannot be more than doubled. Look through your coupon codes to find out if you may have one that can be more than doubled prior to using a voucher printed out by the shop to help you optimize your price savings.

Daoud Nassar Tent of Nations
This is Daoud Nassar. His family own a beautiful piece of land to the west of Bethlehem, in the Occupied West Bank. I have had the privilege of visiting their land numerous times since I first went to Palestine/Israel in 2003, and the Nassars have become dear friends.
Their story is a both typical and unique. The land has been in the family's hands since the Ottoman times, but beginning in the early 1990s, the Israeli military has sought to confiscate the property. Undaunted, the Nassar family have developed their land and established the 'Tent of Nations' project, whose activities include "educating local children from the refugee camps about rural Palestine, hosting young people for camps and activities such as open-air theatre, and acting as a forum for internationals and Palestinians to get to know each other". The Nassars have also grown strong links with international supporters, including in Germany, the USA and UK.
The Nassars' land lies just above Nahalin village – and is surrounded by illegal Israeli colonies (map adapted from Jan de Jong for FMEP).
Nassars land
The Nassars' land and Nahalin are located in the 'Gush Etzion' settlement 'bloc', with the nearby colonies including Betar Illit, Geva'ot, Rosh Tzurim, and Neve Daniel – not to mention the Separation Wall and Route 60.
Neve Daniel settlement from the Nassars land
The Nassars' land has often been 'visited' over the years by soldiers and settlers, including in the following incident:
"When the intifada started the settlers wanted to confiscate the land," Daoud told me, after a hard morning's work clearing a cave. "Sometimes they came with machine guns. One time I showed a settler my papers showing ownership of the land, and he said that he had papers from God. They tried to open a road through the land, they uprooted our trees, pulled down fences, broke water tanks, but we just kept mending everything. Now we try and keep a permanent presence here."
Last night, Daoud sent out an urgent message to the 'Tent of Nations' email list:
Today at 2.00 pm in the afternoon, 2 officers form the Israeli Civil Administration guarded by Israeli soldiers came to our farm and gave us NINE demolishing orders for nine structures we built in the last years without a building permit from the Israeli Military Authority.
The demolition orders are for tents, animal shelters, metal roofing, toilets, a water cistern, a metal container, and renovated underground caves.
One officer was writing the demolishing orders and the other was taking pictures with two cameras, Israeli soldiers were following them everywhere and pointing their guns on us.
The demolition orders were in Hebrew, and Daoud refused to sign receiving them. The papers claim that the family have three days (i.e. until Sunday) to respond – the timing, Daoud notes, makes it difficult to mount a court challenge because of the Sabbath/weekend. Nevertheless, the family's lawyer will oppose the order to the military court on Sunday morning.
Daoud's message concluded by asking people to be prepared and "alert for actions". Speaking to him on the phone last night, his voice was tired – but still defiant and hopeful. It was, he said, yet another attempt "to destroy our spirit".
Blocked access route to the Nassars land
While the Nassars face demolition orders for animal shelters and toilets built on their own land, around and above them, Jewish Israeli citizens live normal lives in thriving colonies. This is 'Area C', where Israeli colonisation policies are designed to make a continued Palestinian presence impossible through almost entirely preventing construction:
This is because the majority of this land "is earmarked for the settlements, the army, nature reserves or a buffer zone around the separation fence", and in the rest, almost all Palestinian building permits are refused. Last year, close to 200 Palestinian structures in Area C were demolished by the Israeli military.
This is the reality in Occupied Palestine in 2010. This is the story of Daoud and his family, along with hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. This is Israeli apartheid.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) has emerged as a unifying name for systems where the cyber parts, i.e., the computing and communication parts, and the physical parts are tightly integrated, both at the design time and during operation. Such systems use computations and communication deeply embedded in and interacting with physical processes to add new capabilities to physical systems. These cyber-physical systems range from miniscule (pace makers) to large-scale (a national power-grid). There is an emerging consensus that new methodologies and tools need to be developed to support cyber-physical systems.
IET Cyber-Physical Systems: Theory & Applications (IET-CPS) is a fully open access journal that aims to attract original research and survey articles dedicated to methodologies, techniques and tools for the design, implementation and operation of cyber-physical systems, including associated security and privacy issues and data analytics techniques.

A MAN has been fined after dropping his cigarette outside Huddersfield Railway Station.
Christopher Gibbons admitted the offence when he appeared at Kirklees Magistrates' Court.
David Stickley, prosecuting on behalf of Kirklees Coun
cil, said that a council enforcement officer noticed him dropping the cigarette end in St George's Square.
The 52-year-old was issued with a £75 fixed penalty notice and then brought to court when he failed to pay it.
Mr Stickley told magistrates: "I ask you to make any fine higher than the fixed penalty notice.
"Otherwise it doesn't provide people with an incentive to pay it if they can come to court and be given a lower penalty.
Gibbons, of Park Avenue in Liversedge, was fined £100 and ordered to pay £20 prosecution costs plus £30 victim surcharge.

As you may have heard, a total solar eclipse is making its way across the continental US today.
You need to wear protective solar eclipse glasses to safely watch the moon cross in front of the sun, as the sun's powerful rays can cause serious eye damage if they are viewed directly. (There are good ways to watch the event without staring at the sun if you haven't been able to find glasses.)
But one method of trying to watch without directly looking should be avoided, according to Dr. Tongalp Tezel, a retina expert at Columbia University Medical Center.
Don't try to watch the eclipse through the front-facing selfie camera on your phone, Tezel said in a news release.
You can take photos of the eclipse with your phone camera without damaging the sensor, as long as you don't have a zoom lens attached — there's no danger to the camera itself.
But your phone screen can reflect ultraviolet light back into your eye, according to Tezel, potentially causing the same damage — solar retinopathy — that looking at the sun itself can cause. Even taking a selfie without wearing eclipse glasses could reflect the sun's light back into your eyes, potentially elevating the chance of a risky moment.
"Many people will think it's safe to take a selfie with the eclipse in the background because they aren't looking directly at the sun," said Tezel. "What they may not realise is that the screen of your phone reflects the ultraviolet rays emitted during an eclipse directly toward your eye, which can result in a solar burn."
According to NASA, symptoms of injury caused by sun damage usually include blurred vision, dark or yellow spots, pain, or loss of vision in the center of the eye. That sort of damage can make it hard or impossible to read or to focus on whatever is right in the center of your view.
For some people, vision recovers within 24 hours — but there could still be damage to the eye, which could result in later problems. In general, people recover as much vision as they are going to within six months of the event, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
If you are within the 70-mile-wide band of totality, you can safely remove your protective glasses once the sun is totally covered. You'll know it's time because you won't be able to see anything with those glasses on. But as soon as beads of light start to re-appear, it's time to protect your eyes again. Even 1% of the sun is enough to cause damage.
If you can't find eclipse glasses, we'd recommend making a simple pinhole viewer to watch safely.

Thousands of litres saved as water leak in Uitenhage finally fixed
Municipality says leak was from house owner's pipe but they were able to fix it
Residents of KwaNobuhle township in Uitenhage were relieved on Thursday to see that the leak which had seen thousands of litres of clean water gushing away had finally been fixed.
"The water had been leaking from the pipe since January," said resident Lungelwa Mbengashe.
On Wednesday, GroundUp published a story drawing attention to the water wastage, the complaints of residents, and asking questions of the local councillors. The underground pipe at Siwasa Street was fixed hours later.
"I had independently reported it five times to the municipality's toll-free number … And they kept telling me help was on its way," said Mbengashe.
Resident Nontembiso Maphela said, "I am happy … as my yard is no longer a river … Cows and birds used to be enticed by the fresh water and would knock the gate with their horns … My yard was like a farm."
She said a municipal official phoned her after GroundUp published the story. "I then saw a team of plumbers arriving in a truck and they went straight next door to have it fixed."
Municipal spokesman Mthubanzi Mniki said, "Previously we had no records of a complaint of this nature registered until this week. We have discovered that the leak was on the owner's pipe, but due to a subsidy for Assistance To The Poor & Rebates (ATTP) registered to the property, we were able to assist with the repairs … We are equally happy to have stakeholders such as GroundUp who often keep their eyes on the ground."

Dr. Luke's Lawyer Criticizes Kesha for Oscars Tweet
Entertainment| |
Dr. Luke's lawyer has blasted Kesha for including herself among victims of sex abuse following Lady Gaga's moving Oscars performance.
The "Born This Way" superstar brought the likes of Oscar nominees Rachel McAdams and Kate Winslet to tears with her powerful rendition of Best Original Song contender "Til It Happens to You," which she co-wrote with singer/songwriter Diane Warren for The Hunting Ground documentary, about sex attacks on U.S. college campuses.
Gaga was introduced by fellow sex abuse prevention campaigner, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, while she was joined onstage by a slew of sex assault survivors, who raised their fists in solidarity at the end of the emotional set.
The performance earned a standing ovation from the star-studded crowd at Hollywood's Dolby Theater on Sunday, and Kesha was among those heaping praise on Gaga via social media.
"Thank u @ladygaga and VP @JoeBiden for bringing attention to sexual assault at the oscars," she wrote. "it hit very close to my heart for obvious reasons [sic]."
thank u @ladygaga and VP @JoeBiden for bringing attention to sexual assault at the oscars. it hit very close to my heart for obvious reasons
— kesha (@KeshaRose) February 29, 2016
The 28-year-old singer is currently embroiled in a legal battle against bosses at her record label Sony, requesting to be released from her contract due to allegedly suffering sexual abuse at the hands of producer Dr. Luke, who has fiercely denied her claims.
A New York judge recently refused Kesha's motion, and as their court fight is ongoing, Dr. Luke's lawyer did not appreciate the star including herself among the victims Gaga showed solidarity to at the Academy Awards.
The producer's attorney, Christine Lepera, tells TMZ, "Ms. Sebert (Kesha), who in sworn videotaped testimony from 2011 stated that she had never been sexually abused or drugged by Dr. Luke, is neither a victim nor the appropriate person to be held up as an example for this important issue."
Kesha, who is currently on vacation in Turks and Caicos, has yet to respond to Lepera's statement, but she previously claimed she was forced into defending Luke in the 2011 deposition, during which she denied ever sleeping with the producer.
Lepera's comments came hours after Gaga had personally sent a message to Kesha, revealing her Oscars performance was partly dedicated to her pal.
"@kesharose I'll be thinking of u 2nite [sic]," Gaga wrote on Twitter on Sunday afternoon. "This is not over we'll stand by u until you are free to live a HAPPY life. Everyone deserves that."
.@kesharose I'll be thinking of u 2nite. This is not over we'll stand by u until you are free to live a HAPPY life. Everyone deserves that.

Kurt Cobain Suicide Note BLASTS Courtney Love; Accuses "B!tch With Zits" of Stealing His Moneyby Tyler Johnson at . Updated at .
A note found at the scene of Kurt Cobain's death was made public by Seattle police today, revealing some unkind final words directed at the Nirvana frontman's infamous wife, Courtney Love.
Scribbled on stationery from the Phoenix Hotel in San Francisco, the note was disclosed by police following a recent re-opening of the investigation into Cobain's 1994 suicide.
Courtney likely wishes it had stayed hidden.
"Do you Kurt Cobain take Courtney Michelle Love to be your lawfully shredded wife," reads one scathing portion. "Even when she's a b!tch with zits and siphoning all yr money for doping and whoring."
Not exactly a love poem, but many have pointed out that there is no way of determining when the note was written or if the heroin-addicted singer was in his right mind at the time.
The note - which was found in a pocket of the pants Cobain was wearing at the time of his death - stands in sharp contrast to the letter Kurt left to be found at the scene.
That note was released shortly after his body was discovered and describes Love as "a goddess of a wife who sweats with ambition and empathy."
Though conspiracy theorists have long been convinced that foul play was involved in Cobain's untimely passing, the most recent investigation by Seattle police detectives uncovered no new findings and his death continues to be ruled a suicide.
While this new letter is unlikely to alter those findings, it may impact the ongoing fight over Cobain's substantial estate.
Fans and friends paid public tribute to the late singer on the 20th anniversary of Cobain's death earlier this month.

All accidents are preventable. It's true. Need to be more careful until I get comfortable on the beast. Got a healthier bit of respect for that piece of machinery. Paid in skinned knee! *laughs*
I'm thinking it may be a nice quiet day here at La Casita. Or at least at home. *grins*
Still got issues with the charger for the bike battery. I'm going to have to insist on a warranty replacement, I bet.

Ever wondered the power of social media? Well, it helped one Panthers fan live out his dream of becoming a water boy for the team.
15 year old Christopher Borden saw a picture on Instagram of Cam Newton, DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel and expressed interest in being involved with the team somehow. A friend suggested being the water boy.
Borden liked the idea and took to Twitter and asked the Panthers account how many retweets it would take to make his dream a reality.
The Panthers replied, "10K".
Chris immediately solicited Twitter's help and in less than 24 hours he'd reached his goal.
The rest was up to the Panthers, who made good on their promise during Wednesday's training camp finale.
Borden, who served as a hydration specialist for Curtis Samuel and Torrey Smith, described this as the best day of this life so far.

Friday 09th Feb
Work can be stressful enough without having to worry about getting to the loo in time to avoid a little accident so we have put together some simple tips to help you through the day. Some are obvious some might be less so….
First of all the obvious item of clothing you need is a pair of Giggle Knickers! If you do have a little accident no one will know, there'll be no embarrassing damp patch and no odour thus giving you piece of mind during the day.
When it comes to actual clothing then darker and heavier fabrics tend to hide little leaks better than lighter ones. That doesn't have to mean boring dark suits it just means maybe cream linen isn't the best option for you.
We'd also recommend that you avoid complicated and multiple fastenings on clothing that might take too long to undo especially if you're in a panic!
Do not cut down on water, you need to drink during the day and you need to stay hydrated. If you add lemons or cucumbers you are also giving yourself an extra little health boost. Rather than drinking it all in one go we would recommend you to drink it in small doses during the day. This can help improve bladder control and because you are hydrated it will reduce the odour of any accidental leaks.
Caffeine and carbonated drinks, however should be avoided. That doesn't mean you can't drink them it just means you should reduce the amount of times you drink them. They actually work as a diuretic which means you actually need the loo more.
Always try to reach for the water first!
Know your office and your schedule
Know where the toilets are and how to get there quickly, especially if you're in a new office the last thing you want is find there two flights of stairs away.
Next is to set times to take a toilet break, look at your diary to work out when you can fit in trips to the toilet during the day. Don't leave it to chance.
We would always advice you to see your doctor they can rule out any underlying condition that could be causing the problem and may have some helpful tips and advice of their own.
Finally the last bit of advice is that you should remember you are not alone, this affects about a third of women, at any age and for numerous reasons. You don't have to put up with it, you can do something about it and you shouldn't let it stop you from achieving your goals and living your life to the full.

Posted on 06/10/2014 8:06:14 AM PDT by Seizethecarp
Sunni militants on Tuesday seized control of military bases and the provincial governors building in Mosul, Iraqs second-largest city, as police officers and army soldiers abandoned the town and left weapons, vehicles and even their uniforms to the gunmen.
By midday, the militants, believed to belong to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, an extremist group, were in control of much of central and southern Mosul, according to witnesses and local officials. Soldiers who fled the city said the militants had seized a jail, freeing the inmates.
They took control of everything, and they are everywhere, said one soldier who fled the city, giving only his first name, Haidar.
As a civilian exodus from the city intensified, the attack amounted to a stunning defeat for government forces, which have spent the past six days trying to beat back a surging militant offensive concentrated in central and northern Iraq. In Mosul, along with the cities of Samarra and Ramadi, the militants have struck at will, storming police stations, government offices and even a university.

Two freed countries returned to Islamic domination

ISIS are completely demon possessed. Extremely evil.
All those brave American soldiers whose lives were lost in this war. I weep for them...This evil administration is making their sacrifice for nothing. Erasing all their achievements! Sick and disgusting!!! I despise them.
What a waste.
The Sunni - Shiite civil war never ended in Iraq. Look for Iran to enter in a big way soon.
I said it Day One.
If we don't stay there for at least 20 or more years, this was going to inevitably happen.
It's naive to think these people can be tamed and suddenly have Western Style democracy.
the really sad thing is that no soldiers at all should have died in Iraq. We should have bombed them back to the stoneage from 30,000 feet.
Should have let the Kurds have the entire country.
Is Iraq a member of NATO?
Here is the WaPo front-page coverate which sounds even more dire (and embarrassing for Barry):
"Insurgents seize Iraqi city of Mosul as troops flee"
When the battle got tough in the city of Mosul, the troops dropped their weapons and abandoned their posts, making it an easy prey for the terrorists, he told a televised news conference in Baghdad.
All key facilities are now controlled by the insurgents, including the airport and the prisons, said Nujaifi, who is from Mosul.
Everything is fallen. Its a crisis, he said, appealing for international and government help to retake the city. Having these terrorist groups control a city in the heart of Iraq threatens not only Iraq but the entire region.
In declaring the state of emergency in a televised speech, Maliki called on all powers political, financial and popular to stop the terrorism and bring life to normal in the areas controlled by the terrorists in Mosul or any other city.
He said his government has created a special Crisis Unit to deal with the situation and warned that punishment would be meted out to those who were reckless and those who did not rise to the challenge of the attack on Mosul.
The speed with which one of Iraqs biggest cities has fallen under militant control is striking and suggests the U.S.-trained Iraqi security forces are even more vulnerable than had previously been thought.
If we were not prepared to occupy the country for 20 years, we were better off leaving Saddam in power.
NYT Speak: "Sunni Militants"
English Translation: "Al-Qaeda"
Where's NATO?
English Translation: Al-Qaeda
Actually, ISIS was kicked out of Al Qaeda for being too fanatical for their slaughter of fellow Islamists in Syria! Hard to imagine, but true!
Muslims are the most chicken-sh*t creatures on the face of the earth.
Better yet, we should've left Saddam Hussein in place. Psychotic as he and his sons were, they were far preferable to the madness that's gripping that country now. The Ba'athists were the only entity that could keep a lid on the jihadis.

No 6/2016, Working Papers from Institute of Economic Research
The abilities of countries to take advantage of global technological progress is currently the main growth determinant. It is especially important in the case of developed economies and the countries that concentrate on closing a development gap. As a result, there is a scientific need to make an international comparisons of countries' technological potential, which can be useful in pointing the economies that can be considered as the leaders and the economies that make especially quick progress in the field. Thus, the main purpose of the research is the identification of the variables that influence countries' technological potential at macroeconomic level, which can be used in its measuring. The second aim of the article is the evaluation of progress obtained by "new" European Union member states. It is assumed that technological potential can be treated as a latent variable. Thus, it can be measured with application of Structural Equation Models (SEM). In the research, the hypothetic SEM model was proposed for the European Union countries in the years 2008-2012. The model was estimated with application of seven variables sugested by Eurostat as the potential measures of technological potential of the EU economies. The research confirmed significant influence of five of the given variables. Additionally, the research showed some progress in the field obtained by Central European countries that joined the EU after the year 2004.

I might have mentioned that I was trying out FreeBSD.
I was stalling this over many weeks, finally, over the past month I used it (version 10) intensively to install, configure, make mistakes, and try fixing it. Well, it is almost complete.
And this gives me the confidence that I can tame it.
I am sure that it can replace my GNU/Linux installations especially on Desktop, Servers, Laptop support depends on the drivers.
My reason(s) to consider FreeBSD over Linux –
It is laid out very wall, a simple obvious way to configure and make things work, easy to understand.
Similar to Python's – "There should be one– and preferably only one –obvious way to do it.".
At work we are using OpenVZ on GNU/Linux, I intend to learn BSD Jails and try replacing OpenVZ.
Again, BSD jails have some inherent advantages over OpenVZ.
Next, replace git with something simpler like mercurial(hg) or bazaar(bzr). 🙂
What is FreeBSD ?
FreeBSD is an advanced computer operating system used to power modern servers, desktops and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.

text: Why I think Tesla is a good investment I've owned a Tesla model S for almost a year now. here is a fab picture of mine taken shortly after I got it: It has a few minor scratches. At one point it went back to have the charging flap replaced, but I suspect this was actually only a problem caused by a spot of glue melting in heat on one side of the car. It also needed a door handle replacement recently. Other than this, its been fine. I wont bore you with my personal opinion of the car (its fucking amazing), I want to talk about the company. Tesla hasn't made a profit yet. they have paid zero dividends. They have a market cap of $32 billion , revenue of $4billion and a loss of $700 million. Why would anybody invest in such a company? Tesla is the first major new car company to establish itself in a long time. In fact many people thought it could not happen. That they are still here…is impressive. that they did this as a completely new type of car company (electric) is even more insane. That they are also world leaders in self-driving technology at the same time…is getting ridiculous. That their first mainstream product (the model S) has won numerous 'car of the year' and customer satisfaction awards, and is rated the safest car you can drive…is getting beyond parody. So the product is VERY good, and they have massively beaten the odds. That alone is room to be optimistic, but there is much, much more. The companies next product (the Model 3) collected so many pre-orders that it was the biggest consumer pre-order event ever. Not this year, or not in cars…its the biggest pre order in history. This is a company with a huge (free) media presence and fan-base. Its marketing costs are practically zero. Ever seen a Tesla ad? me neither. They don't need them. Think about all that money EVERY other car company spends on ads, and that Tesla don't need to spend a penny. Even apple advertises. So they have a good product and a big marketing advantage. What else? Tesla has pioneered the selling direct-to-customers business model in the US and in Europe. They have even had to fight court cases for permission to do this. The competition is *so bad* that they try to take out court injunctions to stop people buying from tesla. Thats when you know you have the best product. By cutting out the dealership, tesla ensures potential customers get accurate advice, a decent demonstration and test drive, and the company controls everything from production of the car to sales and servicing. Oh… and also the fuel. Ford sell you a car, but not direct, thats through a third party dealership. You are then on your own. You don't stop at Ford petrol stations to fill up with Ford petrol that was pumped out of the ground with Ford oil rigs. Tesla are on their way to doing this with the supercharger network and their acquisition of solar city. Tesla aren't just selling you a car, but potentially a new Tesla roof that powers your new Tesla car and which tops up your Tesla powerpack in-between trips where you stop at the Tesla supercharger to fill up with energy generated by Tesla solar panels. At some point they will likely buy up an industrial robot company like KUKA, and have even more vertical integration. This isn't a car company, its an end-to-end energy and transportation company. The market cap potential of tesla isn't General Motors, its general motors + uber + exxon mobil. The *risk* in all this, is that competition with deeper pockets comes along and beats Tesla at its own game. In theory, this is a big risk. In practice…its kinda laughable. Apple, the famously deep-pocketed tech superstar have been quietly and smugly talking about their driverless apple car business for years. Still no car, not even a concept car, not even a sketch. It's not going to happen. Apple takes years to make a phone with a new button, they aren't about to make cars. Every week a new 'concept car' or 'preview model' of a 2018 or 2019 car gets announced by Jaguar or Mercedes or BMW. Every time, without exception, the cars tech specs are laughably behind the model s and the model 3. The model S exists RIGHT NOW. For a company entirely new to electric cars to beat Tesla, they need a BETTER car than the S, a supercharger network already in place, fantastic brand-awareness and cutting-edge in-car tech. Nobody is close to this. Nobody is even within binocular range of this. The Tesla P100DL is faster (0-60) than a Bugatti Veyron costing $2.25Million. (The tesla is $135k). Thats not a slightly better car, its like a different fucking species. I haven't even mentioned the fact that electric cars are actually MORE convenient than petrol (My car starts each day fully charged), costs 4p/mile in fuel, and that Tesla are building the worlds biggest factory to literally double the global supply of lithium ion batteries to get costs down. This is not a normal company. Apple think removing a headphone jack is 'visionary'. Tesla management must collapse in hysterics when they read statements like that. Yup, I have Tesla stock. I have a fucking Tesla T-shirt, I'm a believer. I also read about them a lot. I simply cannot see how anyone will stop this company. Lets check in a year from now and see if I feel the same way :D.

Ministers have defended their proposal to exempt the Home Office from a key part of the data protection regime despite concerns raised by the legal profession. Culture secretary Matt Hancock MP told the House of Commons yesterday that exemptions from subject access requests are necessary to ensure that 'a minority of individuals cannot abuse data protection law with the sole intent of undermining immigration controls'.
Hancock was opening the second reading in the Commons of the Data Protection Bill, which will implement and extend the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which comes into force under EU law on 25 May. The Bar Council is among several legal bodies to warn that a provision allowing the Home Office to refuse to answer requests for data about an individual in immigration cases could put lives at risk.
Stressing that the government's promise to empower people to take control of their data applied to UK citizens, Hancock said the immigration exclusion was legally sound. 'We firmly believe not only that it is important to ensure that we can control our borders through immigration controls, but that this is provided for in the GDPR,' he said.
He was replying to Scottish Nationalist Joanna Cherry QC MP who quoted independent legal opinion as stating that the exemption in the bill does not reflect the stated permissible exemptions under the GDPR. 'This broad-ranging exemption will impact substantially on human rights, and it may also impact on an adequacy decision from the European Commission,' she said.
'Of course, there are always legal opinions about everything,' Hancock replied, 'and our legal opinion is that that is consistent—that is the basis on which we are proceeding.'
He reminded MPs that the bill provides new data rights, including a stronger right to be forgotten, and creates an offence of unlawful re-identification of de-identified personal data. 'With greater control, greater transparency and greater security for our data, the bill will help to give us a statute book that is fit for the digital age as we leave the EU.'
The most heated debate however surrounded an amendment introduced in the Lords stage of the legislation, to enact Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act to encourage newspapers to join government-approved regulators. The government last week announced that it would seek to repeal the section, which could make unregulated publishers liable for the costs of unsuccessful legal actions.
Labour's Andy Slaughter MP said that such costs shifting 'is done not punitively, but to encourage, and to ensure that justice functions effectively in everyone's interests. In this case, it works by giving newspapers the option of signing up to an independent regulator that offers compulsory arbitration, or meeting the court costs of reasonable claims made against them'.
However Conservative Jacob Rees-Mogg MP said: 'We know from our history that one of the tactics of dictatorial regimes is to have to punitive damages levied on newspapers that do not do what they want—a system whereby if a paper loses a libel action, it is effectively closed down. Why do such regimes do that? They do it so that they can have the pretence of freedom of speech, but with the reality of control.'
He warned that incidents like the persecution of 18th century radical John Wilkes. 'We see that being restored … with the outrageous, monstrous idea that if a paper prints something that is entirely accurate - every dot and comma is true - but has not bended the knee to officialdom, the fine will be to pay its own costs and the costs of the party about whom it has told the truth.'
Opposition members who vote for the amendment 'are voting to support [former Formula 1 boss] Max Mosley, his abhorrent views and his money,' Rees-Mogg said. 'Those of us who believe in freedom will vote them down.'
The bill was passed to committee stage, which it is due to complete by 27 March.
