The offer makes it the highest cash bonus on the market but you will have to pay £1,500 into the account
Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is offering £150 to new and existing customers switching to its Select account.
The offer launches on 27 August 2019 and runs until 29 November 2019.
However, embarrassingly for RBS, at the time of writing the RBS and NatWest websites are suffering an outage, leaving customers unable to access online banking since the morning.
Switchers are required to use the Current Account Switching Service, close their existing account and transfer their main current account to RBS.
To obtain the bonus all customers have to do is pay in £1,500 to the account and log into online or mobile banking before 10 January 2020. Customers will then receive £150 by 7 February 2020.
You have to 18 or over and must not have received a cash offer from RBS for switching after October 2017.
The account has no monthly fee and also has the benefit of GetCash which enables customers to withdraw money from a cash machine without their bank card using a passcode sent to their mobile phone.
RBS Reward, Reward Silver, Platinum and Black accounts are also eligible for the offer.
Bruno Genovese, head of RBS current accounts, says: "We are seeing more and more consumers taking advantage of our account benefits and our switcher offer gives consumers the opportunity to change accounts simply and easily using the switcher service."
How does it compare?
There used to be a raft of banks out there offering switching deals – with some even going as high as £200 - but unfortunately these are now few and far between.
Up until recently HSBC had a current account switching bonus of £175 while Halifax had one for £135. Both banks have now pulled the deals.
first direct has also slashed its bonus from £100 to £50.
first direct 1st Account - up to £50 if you switch
Open a new account with first direct and move your current account over to earn a £50 switching bonus.
The bonus will be paid into your account 28 days after opening it.
It will also pay you another £100 if you are unhappy with the service and leave after the first six months.
To qualify, you'll need to transfer via the Current Account Switching service, transfer your direct debits and deposit at least £1,000 in the first three months.
M&S Bank Current Account - £180 M&S gift voucher to switch
M&S Bank is offering a £100 M&S gift card plus an additional £80 after 12 months if you choose to switch.
The deal is also available on the £10-a-month M&S Bank Premium Current Account.
Bank Switch
Can you switch from RBS to Nat West and pick up cash bonus.
Bank switch
My husband switched from NatWest to rbs and got the bonus
RBS/Natwest Switch
Dreadful banking group. I wouldn't switch to them for £1,000. Money can't buy customers as good service is more important
Year wrong
To obtain the bonus all customers have to do is pay in £1,500 to the account and log into online or mobile banking before 10 January 2019. Customers will then receive £150 by 7 February 2020. 10 Jan 2019?
Hi Warren, thanks for spotting that, it has been corrected.
Moneywise Edmund
£1,500 every month or just a one off?
Hi, im in process of switching (RBS Select) thinking I only had to pay in £1,500 once (ie not a regular salary which I don't have). Will this be enough to secure the £150 bonus? Thanks
How long must I stay with them after receiving the £150

This is the last post of .Net collections series. You can find my last post about queues here.
Manages a compact array of bit values, which are represented as booleans, where true indicates that the bit is on (1) and false indicates the bit is off (0). Like in any other array you can access it items by index value.
BitArray implements interfaces like: ICollection, IEnumerable, ICloneable. Which I'll cover in my next articles.
public sealed class BitArray : ICollection, IEnumerable, ICloneable
This collection can be initialized with one of six constructors. The simplest one takes an integer and initializes a new instance of the BitArray class that can hold the specified number of bit values, which are initially set to false.
BitArray array =
Now we can add items to array by selecting index or using Set() method;
array[3] = true; // You can set the bits with the indexer. array.Set(10, true); // You can set the bits with Set.
We can use count property to get number of items in array, or we can use Program class method to count all true values
CountBitArray(array); //Returns bits set to 1
Most unique function of this this class is providing methods like And(), Or(), Xor(), this allows to perform operations of logic gates.
public BitArray And(BitArray value);
For example And() method Performs the bitwise AND operation on the elements in the current BitArray against the corresponding elements in the specified BitArray.
static void Main() { BitArray b1 = new BitArray(4); b1.Set(0, true); b1.Set(1, true); b1.Set(2, false); b1.Set(2, false); BitArray b2 = new BitArray(4); b2.Set(0, true); b2.Set(0, false); b2.Set(0, false); b2.Set(0, true); BitArray results = new BitArray(4); results = b1.And(b2); foreach(bool value in results) { Console.WriteLine(value); } Console.ReadLine(); }
This simple example returns:
- True
- False
- False
- False
BitArray is an intresting type of collection, it's not very popular it i can be useful even if the performance isn't the best. It allows to perform operations like crating logic gates, what can be used to create more complex things like flip-flop, and modulo counters.
This was probably the last entry about .NET collections next article will be about Unity Engine. Stay Awesome!

February signalled a welcome end to the first Exam/Deadlines season. For a brief period students are able to return to guilt-free socialising. I capitalised on this by inviting a friend over from Holland for a long weekend, promising to show him the best of Manchester.
We started off participating in the Free Manchester Walking Tour. This is actually run by my friend, and fellow Mancunian, Josh, and is well worth a visit – boasting a 5 star rating on Trip Advisor. Josh guides visitors through the streets of Manchester from Sackville Gardens through to the Arndale shopping centre, and site of the IRA bomb. In doing so, he recounts stories relating to the founding of Manchester and its industrial past. Subsequently, the plight of several of Manchester's most famous children: Alan Turing – the father of computer science, Emmeline Pankhurst – the mother of the suffragette movement, Liam & Noel Gallagher – the two brothers responsible for producing and influencing most of the music industries finest work over the last two decades. The latter is drawn on to elaborate on Manchester's development into the modern day cultural capital it currently is – or "Madchester".
Being completely honest, apart from that somewhat cultural detour, the remainder of the weekend was devoted mainly to Manchester's finer drinking establishments. Junkyard Golf Club was good for 9 holes of bizarre crazy golf, accompanied by strobe lighting and cocktails. Common in the Northern Quarter was ideal for a few casual pints of local ale. Finally, Liar's Club, a Tiki bar hidden away on Upper Bridge Street in Deansgate, offered excellent gin, music and fire shows.
Dropping my friend off at Manchester Airport early Monday morning, I returned to lectures a little tired (& possibly still a tad hungover,) but ready to kick off Semester 2. With this Semester still in its infancy, perhaps it's best I instead offer a quick summary on last Semesters compulsory modules:
Theories of International Business – lectured by course supervisor Olli, this course proved the most challenging for students not versed in complex theoretical debate. However, the assessment method offered the opportunity to apply these theories in a practical way. We researched a firm and industry, & specifically, analysed an offshore outsourcing decision made by this firm.
Comparative Business Management – this module revolved around the comparison of cross-border business practices, and the influence of institutions and culture. It was assessed through a group presentation, and an exam.
Research Methods – teaching involved assistance on data collection and analysis, both qualitative and quantitative, and evaluation of the same. Although undoubtedly being the driest topic, the assessment was very straight forward and primarily there was a focus on our upcoming dissertation, which I'm sure will serve us well later on in the course.
International Business Strategy – without a doubt my favourite module, IBS focuses on different strategies used by MNEs in entering and acting within foreign markets. A group presentation requires the analysis and evaluation of a given firm's strategy. Additionally, we had a choice of several essays, and I chose to write 3000 words on the socioeconomic impact of global value chains on emerging market suppliers. Being your standard liberal snowflake student, I relished the opportunity to identify and condemn the harsh effects of laissez faire capitalism in such instances.

A little over 5 years ago I wrote a blog on how to migrate public folders from Exchange 2007 to 2010, hoping that that would be the last migration path that would be needed for the long standing public folder system. Surprise! Exchange 2013 brought along "Public Folder Mailboxes", which brought new life into the age old structure, and killed off the dreaded replica process in lieu of DAG replication. On top of this new process has brought some new headache, as well as some old ones that have been around since Exchange 2003. We're going to try and tackle those problems before we get down to the actual process of migration.
But let's jump ahead before we come back and look at the age old issue of public folder migrations: mail-enabled public folders. The issue that has stemmed back to the older days of Exchange is how the Alias field allowed use of what are now seen as invalid characters. Sure the Technet article for migrating public folders gives us a script for searching for forward slashes but not invalid characters, which you may still see from environments migrated from Exchange 2003
When you mail-enable a public folder pre-Exchange 2010, it would create these as Public Folder objects in Active Directory under the Default naming context | Microsoft Exchange System Objects. As you can see on the left in the Public Folder Management Console, the mail enabled public folders, indicated by a folder with an envelope on it, correspond to the object on the left in AD.
If we open Exchange Powershell on Exchange 2010, we can find these any folders with illegal characters rather quickly:
Get-MailPublicFolder -ResultSize Unlimited | Where-Object{$_.alias -match '\s'}
Error: Property expression "RA (Malcolm) 2009-19" isn't valid. Valid values are: Strings formed with characters from A to Z (uppercase or lowercase), digits from 0 to 9, !, #, $, %, &, ', *, +, -, /, =, ?, ^, _, `, {, |, } or ~. One or more periods may be embedded in an alias, but each period should be preceded and followed by at least one of the other characters. Unicode characters from U+00A1 to U+00FF are also valid in an alias, but they will be mapped to a best-fit US-ASCII string in the e-mail address, which is generated from such an alias.
This can quickly return a LOT of errors that correspond not only to illegal characters. Some of these are completely normal and have to do with the original Offline Address Book and it's traditional Public Folder distribution method.

The games therapists play
Tug-of-war is a silly game – all of that straining in order to move a rope a few yards. If you've ever played, the whole thing seems pointless, yet it is so easily and regularly played in our daily social lives. Husbands with wives, parents with children, co-workers and confidantes – no one, not even the experienced therapist, is above such game playing. One person feels an unmet need and pulls at an important other to meet it. The other misreads or rejects the person's pulling and gives a yank themselves. Whether you call it a "power struggle" or a "transference-counter transference pattern," it is universal in clinical work.
Take any client with whom "difficult" interactions in session occur and ask yourself: Of what am I absolutely certain about this client? What are the thoughts you grip tightly about this person that pass the "nod" test – that if you heard a colleague say this about your client, you would nod emphatically in agreement without really thinking about it? Chances are, you're like me and you've written statements in progress notes such as "unmotivated for change," or "help-rejecting," "boundary-violating consistent with Axis II diagnosis" or "oppositional or noncompliant to interventions." We must ask ourselves what will be the likely ripple effects of gripping these thoughts with such certainty. Are we allowing for our inevitable influence on the therapy relationship?
After decades of laboratory and longitudinal study of relationships, psychologist John Gottman describes the process of derailed connection. Gottman's lab examined the interactions of hundreds of couples and was able to predict relationship failure (with approximately 90 percent accuracy) based on how well or how poorly individuals made "bids" to connect with one another. Those who "turn toward" the other person making a bid were much more likely to stay together, while those who "turn against" or "turn away" from one another were much more likely to see their relationships falter. According to Gottman, "bids can be hard to decipher when the bidder doesn't acknowledge his or her own needs for connection."
Conflict and negative feelings are natural to relationships. It is what is done with those feelings that predict outcomes. Gottman informed the field about marital relationships, but what about the therapy relationship?
Neuroscience has identified the role of "mirror neurons" in the brain during any human interaction. These brain cells, according to neuroscientists such as Daniel Glasser at University College London, prime our systems for similar reactions, a tendency to mimic the observed person's emotions and behavior. These specialized brain cells may be the biological seat of empathy, of the skills of attunement which are the stock and trade of psychotherapists.
In therapy, what happens in the moment between therapists and clients – the tit-for-tat of emotional and behavioral reactions, is important in the eventual trajectory of the work. Work from parallel fields (such as Gottman's study of couples, and Glasser's examination of mirror neurons) suggests the benefits of therapist attention to the process of their in-session interactions with clients.
Despite our professional intentions, the pain carved across a client's face sparks emotion and behavior in us as observers. Anxiety pulls for anxiety. Look anyone in the eyes and try not to communicate anything… While our training may have us hold our inner experience in check, our brains have a mind of their own. We communicate glimpses of our inner landscape to clients regardless of our efforts. Instead of avoiding this neuroscientific fact, we might benefit from embracing it and learning to harness skills for authentic exchange to move clients toward lasting change in the context of a healing connection.
Research from dozens of studies has consistently shown "therapeutic alliance" to be a robust predictor of outcome in therapy. Studies have also shown that "ruptures" in the alliance – breaks in the therapeutic bond as a result of errors and (to use Gottman's term) missed "bidding" between therapist and client, are predictive of poor treatment outcomes. When therapists push their change agendas without the consent and agreement of clients and when they fail to attend to clients' experience, rupture occurs and tug-of-war interactions become more likely.
Therapists who give up games and learn to "dance" in attunement with clients are more likely to generate progress in treatment. This may be especially true of therapy with "difficult" clients – those whose behavior hits clinicians' buttons – those who are violent and abusive, substance users, clients suffering from significant mood disturbance, trauma victims and those diagnosed with personality disorders or with highly maladaptive social behavior – these clients seem to slap therapists with the rope. These people pull for negative reactions. And as soon as therapists get caught in assuming intent on the part of clients for their rope-pulling, a-tugging they both will go.
What is needed is proactive recognition of the patterns of interaction. Most importantly, resolution of difficult client-clinician patterns requires a moving toward the pattern in some way. What are the scripts I've learned about how to experience and express emotion that may be interfering with my work with a particular client? What thoughts might stand a loosening of grip? How might I mindfully allow my inevitable experience of negatively-toned thought and emotion during sessions instead of shoving such reactions away? How might I communicate engagement and commitment to the agreed upon goals of treatment despite the client's behavior and my negative reactions? When might be the best juncture for proactive intervention – a process intervention? An authentic acknowledgement of error perhaps? Maybe a limit that needs to be set, or a strategic bit of self-disclosure, or bit of shared humor (remember mirror neurons and the development of alliance through shared affect)? Might there be a role for any of these in your efforts to drop the rope with difficult clients?
Human action becomes vital and vehement when what is basic to us, the "stuff" we experience as core to our survival (whether literally true or not), is threatened. Our brains seem to know little difference between fear bred from bullets or ill-timed therapist "interpretations." If we miss the cues, fail to attend to clients' "bids" for connection, and if we react instead of responding, we will tug-of-war needlessly with our clients. Let's make a pledge to strike terms such as "oppositional," "manipulative," or "unmotivated" from our session notes. Let's instead look to the mutuality of clinical work. It's where the action of change is at.
Mitch Abblett, Ph.D. is the Clinical Director of the Manville School at Judge Baker Children's Center. In addition to his work with children with emotional and behavioral difficulties, he conducts trainings nationally for clinicians regarding the relational aspects of work with "difficult" clients.
3 Responses to The games therapists play
What often seems missing in discussions of "difficult clients," is that client viewpoint is utterly absent. Clients will see therapists as domineering, delusional, misdirected or simply unhelpful. Or the therapist represents himself with powers he really doesn't possess. Or therapy is oversold, creating the fantasy that it can create impossible transformation. Client feedback is ridiculed and deflected. First do no harm? I'd say, first establish basic human respect. disequilibrium1.wordpress.com/
Agreed! Therapists are in a privileged position with generally vulnerable people. Playing games of push/pull, encouraging transference and in turn dependence, and assuming a god-like power position are all, in fact, doing harm. The reason most clients enter into therapy is not to explore the role of the transference between therapist and client but to resolve their own very real issues. Therapy can, in fact, be more detrimental I would say in more cases than one would expect. It concerns me how many therapists driven by ego either unwittingly or otherwise are detrimental to their clients… and where do these clients go?? what are the other alternatives, stay in a costly and consuming commitment that benefits no-one but the therapist, risk entering into another client/therapist tango, leave therapy without a resolution to critical issues.. psychotherapy is really at its infancy I believe.
Without the client's will to change, nothing will be achieved in therapy.
The therapist helps the client bring his/her unconscious issues into the here-and-now, and real change is achieved.
The more experienced the counsellor / psychotherapist has had in issues of mental heath, the more empathy he/she will have with the client.
A good therapeutic alliance will develop over time and when trust is achieved progress will speed up.
I believe in the Psychodynamic approach, so my perception may be biased.

Residents of Akungba-Akoko in Akoko South West Local Government area of Ondo state are in tension ahead of the Supreme Court judgment as regards the rightful occupant to the community's throne.
The Supreme Court had fixed 16th January for the ruling on the injunction, stay of execution of the coronation of Alale of Akungba – Akoko, as well as the hearing on the substantive suit.
Recall that the Court of Appeal Akure, the Ondo State capital, had upheld the judgment of the High Court, which earlier declared Prince Oseni Adu as the Alale-elect of Akungba-Akoko.
The Appeal Court, in a unanimous judgment, led by Justice Mohammadu Danjuma, declared that the selection of Prince Adu as Alale-elect by the kingmaker remained valid.
The case with suit number SC 155/2018 is between Julius Olanipon and Prince Emmanuel Salau, as well as Sunday Akeju from Agure-Mokun branch of the Ole ruling house
The stay of execution was filed by Julius Olanipon to restrain Ondo State government from executing the Court of Appeal verdict on the 11th December 2017, which affirmed the High Court judgment on 20th December 2013.
The judgment had declared Prince Oseni Isiaka as the new Alale of Akungba Akoko.
Counsel to the appellant, Barrister Olabanjo Ayenakin claimed that Mr. Sunday Ajimoh has already occupied the throne.
Meanwhile, counsel to the respondent, Agure/Mokun family branch of Ole ruling house, Mallam Gani Ashiru asked the Supreme Court to strike out the stay of execution and injunction, which he said was a declarative judgment.
He also submitted that the Apex Court should sack Sunday Ajimoh, who he said was illegally installed as Alale of Akungba Akoko by the former Governor Mimiko's administration in the state.
It would be recalled that Akungba Akoko in Akoko South West Local Government area of Ondo State, has been in Obaship crisis since the demise of Oba Omoshowon Adekanye in December 2003.

Earlier, micro-blogging site issued a statement, " Most people will see a change of four followers or fewer; others with larger follower counts will experience a more significant drop. We understand this may be hard for some, but we believe accuracy and transparency will make Twitter a more trusted service for public conversation."
Celebrities like Divya Dutta, Onir and Apurva Asrani had reacted to losing their Twitter followers.
Aiyyo what happened @Twitter ?? Sudden drop of thousands of followers in one hr!!

- Burton Albion have one win and two defeats from their opening three League 1 games but all of their matches this season have been decided by a single goal, and they were only undone by an own goal against Rotherham on Saturday.
- Ben Fox and Callum Hawkins are both expected to miss most of the season but otherwise manager Nigel Clough has a full squad to pick from, so there could be some rotation.
- Kieran Wallace, Joe Sbarra and fit-again David Templeton are among those who could come into the side, while summer signing Oliver Sarkic is waiting for his full debut after two substitute appearances.
Both of these sides have played fairly well so far this season and were unfortunate to lose at the weekend. Oxford have been in good form at home in recent months but Burton have failed to score in just one of their last 12 away league games, so consider both teams to score here.

Most men need a supplement to support their performance in bed due to the decline in testosterone. It is a hormone that is responsible to regulate fertility, muscle mass and develop sexual characteristics in men. The decline in testosterone may lead to sexual dysfunctions including difficulty with erections and low libido. If you neglect and the issue keeps decline then it might also negatively impact your relationship. This is where an effective male enhancement supplement could prove to be beneficial. With that, I would like to introduce you to Vitraxyn which may enhance male hormonal vitality and achieve peak performance. With its potent ingredients, it may increase your strength and stamina to help you feel more confident in the bedroom.
How does the male enhancement formula of Vitraxyn work?
The decline in sexual health may impact your overall life satisfaction and the relationship with your partner. Due to this, you may try to avoid intercourse altogether and that can make the condition worse. This is where Vitraxyn may prove to be useful. Using the active natural extracts, it may target the root cause of sexual dysfunctions and restore your youthful performance. The pro-sexual nutrient blend may quickly enter the bloodstream to stimulate the production of nitric oxide and improve blood circulation. This, in turn, helps you achieve harder erections for an extended duration while having intercourse. Overall, it may work to ensure that both you and your partner enjoy satisfying intimate sessions with multiple orgasms.
What are the active ingredients used in the supplement Vitraxyn?
It is formulated using active ingredients that may deliver essential nutrients across your body and improve your sexual health. It uses powerful ingredients such as horny goat weed, saw palmetto and Tongkat Ali to enhance your physical performance. Following are some of the ingredients used in Vitraxyn.
- L-Arginine – It is an essential amino acid which may stimulate nitric oxide (NO) production to improve circulation. This, in turn, helps the blood vessels to relax and help you achieve rock-hard erections.
- Tongkat Ali – It contains compounds that could increase libido and support muscle growth. By providing hormonal support, it might also increase fertility in males or virility.
- Saw Palmetto – It is thought to help relieve stress and being an aphrodisiac, it may improve sexual performance in men.
- Horny Goat Weed – It is a herbal extract that may naturally restore your sexual appetite and improve your stamina. It might also reduce the feeling of fatigue and frequent tiredness.
- Asian Red Ginger Extracts – This ingredient may positively enhance your mood and promote relaxation to help you perform at your peak.
What are the excellent benefits of using Vitraxyn regularly?
If used regularly as instructed, this dietary supplement could offer you multiple benefits which are listed below.
- Harder erections – By increasing the blood flow to the penile area, it may help you achieve rock-hard erections. It might also help you last longer during intercourse in the bedroom.
- Enhance stamina – It may boost your strength and sexual stamina to help you feel more confident with your partner.
- Improve libido – Vitraxyn may replenish the sexual energy stores across the body and help to increase your libido. This might further help you to reach your maximum potential
- Increase size – With regular use, it may offer a consistent increase in blood flow to the penile area. This, in turn, may help to add inches to your erections, both length and girth wise.
What are the directions to use the supplement Vitraxyn?
Each bottle of this dietary supplement is packed with 60 capsules. You need to take two (2) capsules of Vitraxyn daily with a glass of water. With regular use, the container may last for about a month and improve both your physical and mental health.
What are the consumers saying about Vitraxyn?
Mike from New Mexico says, "After feeling disappointed with my performance, I began my search to find an effective supplement. Then I came to know about Vitraxyn which has been giving me excellent results. I feel much more energetic and are able to get harder erections. I would definitely recommend this product."
Where can you order Vitraxyn?
You can place your order for this supplement by going online to the official website of the product.

Baseball? No, the curveballs that life sometimes throws at you. You've probably been wondering where I've been. In fact, a few of you e-mailed me to see what was up since I haven't posted here in over a month. A lot has happened in the past 4 weeks, some fun and some not-so-fun. Here's a recap...
September 3 through 6 - We left for our two week trip to Hawaii. We had a layover in Phoenix and were able to meet my sweet stamping friend, Doris. We "met" online about 5 years ago but when we finally met in person, it felt like we had known each other forever. After visiting with Doris for about an hour, we boarded the plane for Honolulu where we spent 3 nights.
September 6 though 11 - We arrived in Kauai on September 6. We had a great time up until Thursday afternoon at around 2:30. My cell phone rang and it was my sister calling to let me know that she was at the vet with Greta. It turns out that the vet (different doctor at the same vets office) prescribed the wrong dose of amlodipine (blood pressure medicine) and it caused an irregular heartbeat and extremely low blood pressure. The vet recommended that my sister take Greta to Veterinary Specialty Services which is a 24 hour animal hospital. Well, the next morning, we talked to the cardiologist and she said that she didn't feel that the overdose was fatal and that it would just take time to work out of her system. We went ahead and went on an outing that day, although our hearts weren't in it. By Saturday morning, the vet wasn't positive that Greta would make it although she couldn't say for sure because she said that there isn't much information about cats and amlodipine overodse. Anyway, we decided to fly home and we were lucky enough to be able to get a flight from Kauai to Honolulu at 9:00pm and from Honolulu to Phoenix at 11:00pm and then on to St. Louis, arriving at about 1:45pm on Sunday. My sister picked us up at the airport and we went straight to the hospital to see Greta. She looked so tired and sad, definitely not like her usual self. We spoke to the vet and she was more optimistic that Greta would be ok even though they had her in a oxygen cage so that it would help her breath easier.
September 12 - My sister called around 10:30 to check on Greta and to let me know that she was going to the doctor with my mom and dad. Turns out, my mom had an infection in her foot so she was admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics. Greta remained in stable condition.
September 13 through 18 - We were still on "vacation" so we were at home and would visit Greta twice a day. We took her favorite food and snacks with us but she refused to eat. She would drink water and use the litter pan but food didn't interest her at all. On Thursday morning, the vet was not very optimistic that Greta would be ok. When we visited her that morning, she seemed really tired and weak but when we visited her late in the afternoon, she seemed much better. The roller coaster ride continued through Tuesday, with Sunday being the worst day. The vet had told us that morning that she didn't know if there was much more she could do for Greta. The were able to stabilize her blood sugar which had risen really high but she had fluid under her skin and also in her chest. The vet drained her chest fluid each morning since Monday and they just couldn't figure out what was causing it. She said that Greta didn't appear to be in pain but she just wasn't getting better. Our visit on Sunday morning was sad because we just didn't know if she'd ever come home again. Our visit on Sunday evening was much better. Greta seemed more alert and even meowed a few times.
September 19 and 20 - My mom went home from the hospital on Monday afternoon and is doing well. She's still on antibiotics and her foot is wrapped but she's happy to be home and is getting around fine. When we visited Greta after work on Monday, she seemed even more alert than 24 hours earlier. On Tuesday morning, the vet removed Greta's feeding tube (it was a tiny tube in her nose) and she actually ate food for us on Tuesday evening and was very alert.
September 21 - When I spoke to the vet this morning, she said that she felt that Greta could go home. There was very little fluid in her chest, not even enough to drain, and she was eating. We picked her up at around 4:30 that afternoon. Carrie, the veterinary tech, told us that everyone in ICU gave her a goodbye pat on the head and were going to miss her but they were so glad she was going home. Within the first 30 minutes of being home, Greta ate, drank and used the litter box. She definitely knew where she was and was happy to be home.
Greta has been getting better each day and seems to be almost back to her old self. She had a follow-up visit on the 26th and the vet said that she looks great and the ultrasound of her chest showed no fluid and her heart was back to normal. When Carrie brought her back into the room after the tests, she said that she had to stop by the ICU because everyone wanted to say Hi to her. :) We love the entire staff at VSS and are so grateful to Doctor Marshall and her team for taking such good care of our dear baby.
My sister made a blanket for Greta and she absolutely loves it! It's so soft and warm and comfy. Greta has spent many hours sound asleep on her blanket. Not only is the blanket comfy but it's also personalized! Lisa has a cool embroidery machine that makes all kinds of things. Here's a close-up of the embroidering...
So, that's a recap of the past 4 weeks. Now for the present; since the title of this post is "Curveballs", I just have to mention baseball...woohoo, the Cardinals are in the playoffs. They play the Phillies today at 4:07. Strange time! We'll be at the Fox Theater seeing Addams Family but I'll have my phone on and will be checking the score!
OK, since it seems like things have settled down a little now, I'll be back to regular blogging. I'll be sure to post more details of our Hawaii trip. Check back soon.

Effect of olfactory stimulation during suckling on agonistic behavior in weaned pigs
María Fuentes, MVSc; Julio Otal, DBSc, PhD; María L. Hevia, DMV, PhD; Alberto Quiles, DMV, PhD; Francisco C. Fuentes, DMV, PhD
Complete article is available online.
PDF version is available online.
Objective: To determine the effect of olfactory stimulation during suckling on the weaned pig's welfare.
Materials and methods: Six Control group sows and six treatment (Banana) group sows were used, each with 10 piglets. Treatment consisted of daily topical application of isoamyl acetate (banana scent) on the skin of the sows' mammary glands during the 21 days of suckling. Preference of the piglets for the banana scent was tested with a V-maze at 4 and 21 days of age. After weaning, pigs were regrouped into groups of 10. For the Banana group, feeders were scented with isoamyl acetate for the 15 days after weaning. During the first 5 hours after regrouping, a video camera was used to record nonagonistic, aggressive, and submissive behaviors. Pigs were weighed on their day of birth and at 21 and 35 days of age. Feed consumed was weighed during suckling and for 15 days post weaning.
Results: Banana group pigs spent more time in the scented arm of the V-maze. They weighed more after weaning and had greater average daily gain (ADG) than the Control piglets (P < .05). During the postweaning observation period, Banana group pigs showed more nonagonistic and submissive behaviors and less aggressive behavior (P < .05). Feed consumption and ADG did not differ between treatment groups.
Implications: Treatment of the sows' mammary glands with banana scent stimulates milk consumption. Treatment of the feeder with this same scent after weaning is associated with less aggressive behavior, but not with better growth parameters.
Keywords: piglet, olfactory stimulation before weaning, isoamyl acetate, behavior after weaning

Production halts due to Hurricane Isaac and a deadly explosion at a Venezuelan refinery have pushed U.S. gas prices to a near four-month high.
As the hurricane hit land yesterday (Tuesday), oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico had virtually shut down. Oil companies now must wait out the storm before they can assess any damages.
Energy firms in the region have suspended 93% of the typical U.S. oil production and 67% of natural gas in the gulf, according to a report released Tuesday by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. Companies have evacuated 503 platforms and 49 rigs in the region.
In addition, gasoline refiners have shut down approximately 6.7% of total U.S. refining capacity, a move that will lead to reductions in gasoline inventories and short-term price increases. Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM),Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX)and Valero Energy Corp. (NYSE: VLO)all reported yesterday that they have temporarily shuttered Gulf Coast refining operations.
But Hurricane Isaac's disruptive presence isn't the only strain on the U.S. refining network. There's another major catalyst triggering higher gas prices.
Over the weekend, tragedy struck the second-largest refinery in Venezuela.
An explosion and fire on Saturday at the Amuay refinery in Venezuela killed 48 people, wounded hundreds, and destroyed hundreds of nearby homes. It is the deadliest refining accident in more than a decade.
The government-run Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) owns the plant, which can process 645,000 barrels of oil a day but has been forced to suspend operations.

As the Director of the Preschool at Saddleback Valley Christian, I have the privilege of leading Chapel for seventy-five children each week – ages 3 to 4. We sing, we hear stories, we memorize words from the Bible, and we talk about Jesus. It is definitely one of the highlights of my week and it is the reason behind what I do. Chapel time is one of the many ways our little ones have the opportunity to hear about Jesus at Preschool each day. Chapel plays a significant role in our program as it allows us to share Jesus together as a group.
I genuinely anticipate sharing with these little children stories about Jesus and His ways, His attributes, His glory and His goodness! These stories, wrapped in "Preschool Packaging," contain life lessons that are so good and so important for their little ears to hear. Chapel is participatory, and the children know that I'll gladly acknowledge a raised hand. My heart smiles when I see a hand raised and my face follows suit, especially when I call on a child only to find out he/she just wants to tell me a random story about his/her weekend. Remember this is preschool and, to be honest, I love every minute of it!
But then …
There are those definitive times during Chapel that are so sacred, so honest, and so sweet that I know our Preschoolers are getting a glimpse of who Jesus truly is. This is not because of me. This is because whenever two or more are gathered in the name of Jesus, He shows up (Matthew 18:20). This is true for three and four year olds too!
One of my favorite stories to tell is when Jesus says, "Let the children come to me…" (Mark 10:14). The Holy Spirit is always with us during Chapel, no matter what story is being told. However, there are certain times when there is an evident hush over the room because our God truly wants these little ones to hear about Him. The Mark 10:14 story inevitably will bring this type of hush to Chapel each time it is told. The children and I talk about how some of Jesus' friends were feeling grumpy. These friends told the children not to bother Jesus and to go away. It is during this time in the story that I will ask our Preschoolers if they think Jesus had time to talk to all of those children in the story – some nod their heads and say "yes" and some shake their heads and say "no." However, by the end of the story, the message is clear to each child: Jesus DOES have the time and He listens! Jesus said, "Let the children come to me!" This touches their hearts. They understand! And they are so excited to hear how Jesus always has time for His children. He loves to hear their voices talking to Him. He loves to hold them in His lap. He wants them to know how much they are loved. He wants to bless them. This is such happy news to their little ears!
I can't help but think that this child-like joy and love for Him is one of the things Jesus was talking about when He said you must become like children, to enter the kingdom of Heaven. Could it be that simple? The lesson for my Preschoolers is this simple, and yet it is so profound. I am reminded of this simplicity all of the time, especially when the words I have for the children bounce right back at me and end up ministering to my own heart.
Let these little ones remind you today –
Jesus always has time for us.
He loves to hear us talk to Him.
He loves to hold us close.
He wants us to know we are loved.
He wants to bless us.
At SVC, we affectionately call our Preschool "The Second Happiest Place on Earth." Tammy Huebner has the joy of leading this wonderful part of our ministry. "I am passionate about my work at SVC because of my love for children – how they think, how they learn, how they express themselves," said Mrs. Huebner. "I know how much the little ones matter to Jesus and I understand the responsibility of those who influence them."
It's Mrs. Huebner's great love for children that routinely takes her out of her office and into the classrooms. In addition to her administrative duties, she enjoys singing with and reading to the children. A highlight for her is leading each week's chapel.
Mrs. Huebner began teaching in SVC's early childhood program in 2003. She assumed the Director's duties in 2008. Prior to joining this ministry, she taught at other Orange County preschools. Her degree is in Early Childhood Education, specializing in ages 2 – 5. She also holds an Early Education Director Certificate from Vanguard University.
Although Mrs. Huebner relishes being SVC's Preschool Director, her favorite job title is "mom." She and her husband of 26 years, Jason, have three children — all of whom graduated from SVC.

(A repost from the Facebook group of a thing I done wrote.)
Areion is a horse in Greek mythology, sired by Poseidon (of obscure, possibly pre-Greek etymology), god of the sea, earthquakes and horses, according to one report by Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and fertility (literally, de-meter is god[dess]-mother, or earth-mother, according to a reading of the de- element as corresponding to a pre-Attic ge-, Earth, as in Gaia and geology).
The Rharian Field was a place in Eleusis, roughly near Athens, in Greece, which, in mythology, was the site at which the first plot of grain was grown by humans after they were taught the secret of agriculture by Demeter. Eleusis was the site of the Eleusinian Mysteries, a very ancient classical initiation cult (in which rites and mysteries were revealed progressively to initiates of the cult). Central to the Eleusinian Mysteries was the myth of the abduction of Persephone (etymologically, the thresher of grain or, according to classical authors, bringer of death), daughter of Demeter, by Hades, god of the underworld and the mineral riches of the earth (etymologically, 'the unseen'; the Roman name, Pluto, is derived from the Greek for 'he of riches').
The abduction of Persephone, as the daughter of the goddess of the earth's bounty, by the god of its unseen riches, symbolised, in the Eleusinian Mysteries, death. Persephone's name is interpreted, by classical authors, as meaning 'the deceased'; she is often depicted, as Hades' abducted consort, in funeral garb.
Zeus, Hades and Poseidon were the three brothers from whom the other Olympian gods were descended, in Greek myth. They divided the cosmos between themselves: to Zeus went the heavens and the earth; to Hades, the hidden depths of the earth, and to Poseidon, the sea. Poseidon, being jealous of his elder brothers' domains, interfered: he shook Hades' domain with earthquakes, and inundated Zeus' with floods. The Greeks, in fact, considered the sea deeply suspect; sacrifices were to be made before a sea voyage, because the sea was not the natural preserve of humankind, who belonged on dry land, and permission should be sought of Poseidon, as its lord, and Okeanos, as its primordial personification.
The myth of Areion seemingly antedates Poseidon's more famous 'quarrel with Athena', in which he created the horse to win the right for the naming of the city of Kekropia, which later became the Acropolis of Athens. In this myth, Poseidon pursued Demeter, who, spurning his advances, transformed herself into a mare. Seeing through her disguise, Poseidon in turn disguised himself as a stallion and mounted her; the horse Demeter gave birth to was Areion - a full god, because both his mother and father were gods, in horse form.
When Hades abducted Persephone, according to the Eleusinian Mysteries, Demeter caused a terrible drought, to draw the attention of Zeus, who, as lord of the cosmos, could secure her daughter's return. Because the drought would have deprived the gods of sacrifice and worship, Zeus intervened, and ordered Hades to return Persephone to her mother. It was in the course of her search for Persephone, however, in the Mysteries, that Demeter first encountered humanity and, by coincidence, taught them agriculture - that is, the drought could never have deprived the gods of worship and sacrifice, because the gift of agriculture was what initially endowed humanity with the surpluses necessary to offer worship and sacrifice to the gods.
It is explained that Zeus was bound by the rules of the more ancient Fates, who decreed that any who ate or drank of the food and drink of the underworld must remain there forever. Zeus, as such, was only able to free Persephone for part of the year. Demeter's drought was the first Winter; Persephone's temporary release was the first Spring; and this cycle would be repeated annually forever. There are inconsistencies: the productive period, in the climate of Mycenaean Greece, was from Autumn to the end of Spring; the dry Summer was the period during which crops could not be grown, and which would have corresponded to Persephone's annual residence in the underworld. However, the Homeric hymn on which the Eleusinian Mysteries were based stated that Persephone's return occurred in the Spring, not the Autumn.
This is after the fashion of mystery cults in the classical world and cross-culturally, in which initial revelations - such as the foundational myth of Demeter, Persephone, Hades and the drought - are subsequently revealed to have been false, and more encompassing cosmological information - the role Demeter played in the endowment of humanity with the capacity of worship and sacrifice, and the role of Persephone, as 'The Deceased', in spurring Demeter's gift of agriculture to humanity - is revealed to have been the 'real' truth all along. The scriptures, if there were any, of the Mysteries are lost to us; in art, however, Persephone's return to Demeter is represented as an ascension which enables the cycle of generations: through Persephone's annual death, as she returns to Hades to be his bride, and rebirth, as she is returned to Demeter, life is perpetuated.
I have argued previously that 'love' and 'death', the Freudian Eros and Thanatos, correspond to 'love' and 'time' on Divers ("and we cut facsimiles of love and death / (just separate holes in sheets / where you cannot breathe, and you cannot see)"). Areion, as the progeny of Demeter and Poseidon, embodies both Demeter's bounty - the nullifying, negating, defeating, repeating joy of life - and Poseidon's envy, which would then correspond to love as a symptom of time (bounty as a symptom of scarcity). The Rharian Field, as the central site of the Eleusinian Mysteries and the key location in its foundational myth of Persephone's rebirth, is a place which demonstrates that love is not a symptom of time; time is just a symptom of love. Persephone is 'The Deceased'; she is the archetype of the dead. She is so because of her mother's longing for her, in her absence: it is Demeter's love which defines death as inhabitance in the underworld. Demeter's love for and her pursuit of her absent daughter also establish the cycle of regeneration, but not in the expected manner: it is not the case, in the Mysteries, that Demeter kills (those affected by her drought) to win Zeus's favour; it turns out, instead, that time, as the cycle of the seasons, which permits eternal life through the death and rebirth of successive generations of living things, is a symptom of Demeter's love.
So, the exhoration of Areion to go free and graze on the Rharian Field is an exhortation of the listener, the accidental progeny of love-life's bounty, to go free and graze on the accidental fruits of its eternal conquest of time-death.

MapR Converges SQL and JSON with Apache Drill v1.6
April 06, 2016
Converged Data Platform unifies MapR Database document database with ANSI SQL engine to unlock insight via industry-standard BI tools
MapR Technologies, Inc., provider of the industry's only Converged Data Platform, today announced the availability of Apache Drill 1.6 as the unified SQL layer for the MapR Converged Data Platform via tighter integration with MapR-DB. Customers and partners benefit from the flexibility of reporting and analytics on JSON data stored in MapR Database tables, realizing faster time-to-value with insights gleaned from operational data.
According to Hadoop Weekly*, "The Apache Drill project has one of the fastest release velocities in the Hadoop ecosystem with a new release nearly every month." Version 1.6 of Apache Drill, which is now available on the MapR Converged Data Platform, offers a new MapR Database document database plugin, enhanced performance and scale, and optimized Tableau and BI tool experience.
Interest and adoption of Drill, which was recognized as one of the best in open source big data technologies, continues to grow in popularity. Thousands of users have downloaded Drill and numerous organizations have it in production, interactively analyzing up to PBs of data. Additionally, over 6,000 BI analysts and developers worldwide have completed Drill training courses provided by the free On-Demand Training program from MapR.
Apache Drill is a game changer for us," said Edmon Begoli, CTO of PYA Analytics. "Most recently, we have been able to query, in under 60 seconds, two years worth of flat PSV files of claims, billing, and clinical data from commercial and government entities, such as the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services. Drill has allowed us to bypass the traditional approach of ETL and data warehousing, convert flat files into efficient formats such as Parquet for improved performance, and use plain SQL against very large volumes of files."
Highlights of Drill 1.6 include:
- Flexible and operational analytics on NoSQL – The new MapR Database document plugin allows analysts to perform SQL queries directly on JSON data stored in MapR Database tables. There are a variety of pushdown capabilities available with this plugin to provide optimal interactive experience.
- Enhanced query performance – Provides better query performance on data in Hadoop and NoSQL systems via numerous query planning improvements, such as partition pruning, metadata caching and other optimization improvements. Delivers up to 10-60X performance gains in query planning compared to the previous releases of Drill.
- Better memory management – Delivers greater stability and scale which enables customers to run not only larger but also more SQL workloads on a MapR cluster.
- Improved integration with visualization tools like Tableau – Offers metadata query performance improvements and introduces client impersonation for end-to-end security from the visualization tool to data in Hadoop. Version 1.6 also provides enhanced SQL Window functions.
Drill is used in a variety of use cases. For example, media companies can instantly query and analyze incoming content delivery network (CDN) files without requiring data transformations, allowing them to analyze several terabytes of CDN logs and reduce customer attrition. High-tech chip manufacturers can develop offerings that allow them to better analyze dropped calls and provide that information to their handheld device partners and thereby improve quality of service. Communications providers can instantly query and analyze logs from cell towers that enable mobile operators to proactively monitor and improve subscriber experience.
"Operational analytics on document databases such as MapR Database is a rapidly growing use case," said Neeraja Rentachintala, senior director, Product Management, MapR Technologies. "For the first time, there is a stack that allows BI developers and business analysts to store and query data in native formats without cumbersome ETL or transformation, providing end-to-end flexibility and scale."

It's become a tradition at Brelby to spend the month of November reflecting on our artform and how it impacts us through our annual Blogathon. This year, in honor of our 10th Season, our Blogathon participants will be sharing lists of 10 things that have impacted them, whether they be lessons or memories…or are looking ahead towards future goals.
Today's blogger, Aubrea Robards, has been with Brelby since its inception. She has been seen onstage recently in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. She's often around to lend a hand, and is one of the company's biggest cheerleaders.
Below, she reflects on 10 lessons she has learned from being an artist.
10 Lessons I learned about art AT Brelby
I had the amazing good fortune of meeting Shelby and Brian, the creators of Brelby, long ago when we were all freezing our butts off up north at NAU. I remember when they first were discussing starting a theater company right after we all graduated. I thought they were crazy. Starting any company from the ground up sounded like a nightmare AND theater can be such a fickle field AND it was 2008-2009… the country was in a hardcore recession. I didn't even know if I would have a job after college and I'm a dental hygienist! Brelby, however, was not to be thwarted. Those 2 refused to quit and refused to say when. This was the first lesson they taught me. You have to believe in your goal for it to be successful. I also learned another great lesson. Sometimes friends can be downers and you have to take their pessimism with a grain of salt.
Even though I thought they were crazy dreamers I was in, because I loved them both. I was the costume designer for their first show, Playing Games, that opened early that 2009 summer. The show used another theater's space but we didn't use their other resources for the most part; which meant the "costumes" were a collection of actors and my personal wardrobe. "Liz" almost exclusively wore my clothing; which was fine since I was a round little preggo mess by then, due with my first kiddo that December. Lesson 3…. You make art with what you have and even the most low key set/costumes/etc. matter not when you're show's heart is present on stage every performance. Lesson 4 was that even pregnant Aubrea can find the energy to love and participate in theater.
Life happens. We all slowly moved to Phoenix and they found a space in downtown Glendale. It was such an intimate space and they truly made it their own. They created a beautifully strong and incredibly committed core group of artists and supporters. There was so much sacrifice in those early years but EVERYTIME I asked, "hows the show going?" they'd answer, honestly, but also with a constant positive outlook. So that 5th lesson is how important it is to stay positive, it is one of the best motivators. I also learned how amazing a great, intimate group of supportive friends can be… Lesson 6 :]
One kid later and I finally came back to theater with Brelby. I was able to be apart of their Miscast concert 2 years in a row and fun surprise; a bunch of my old pals from my NAU thater days had also decided to join the fun, low key shows. This was lesson 7: friends made while performing and rehearsing are friendships that are so easily rekindled. Your inside jokes, little failures, big failures, and shared accomplishments are so ingrained into who you are that your bond is permanent. Lesson 8: theater people are cool and I like hanging out with them. We're weird, funny, codependent, and love nerding out about theater together.
Fast forward to probably the best show I've been apart of E.V.E.R! 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee was legit and we had not only a fantastic cast but the absolute best production team. My favorite thing we did was taking time during rehearsal to get to know each other and each other's pasts. If you've worked with any production of Brelby you know how important cast bonding is to them and you could see the benefits before, during, and after our performances. I LOVED everyone on that show and Brelby taught me how important it is to open up and reveal your soul to truly tap into your potential. It was a great call back to lesson 4 as well, as I was 7 months pregnant when that show closed. Sooooo pregnant
The final lesson Brelby has taught me is that no matter where my life leads me and no matter what other interests I have, theater is a part of who I am and what I love. I have started a career, got married, had 3 kids. I've had my life change in so many ways for so many years; however I always keep coming back to Brelby and (because of them and those I've met there) have experienced such incredible moments at local theaters in the valley.

This is a MUST READ/VIEW. The way things are going, it will happen here.
This is a YouTube video of about 6 minutes that is a statement by the former publisher of the Western Standard newspaper/magazine located in Calgary, Alberta. Calgary is the diocese of Bishop Frederick Henry, Canada's Archbishop Burke or Bishop Bruskewitz.
He was accused by a radical Muslim imam, trained in Saudi Arabia, of engaging in "hate speech" by publishing the famous "Danish cartoons" that were originally published one or two years ago.
He was subpoenaed by the Alberta Human Rights Commission to appear before them to be interrogated about the incident. All his legal expenses, whether he wins or loses, will be paid by him. His initial statement was made on January 11, 2008 prior to the scheduled interrogation in front of an AHRC official.
The statement is a damning indictment of "political correctness" in today's world of liberal bureaucracies, functioning way out of control to further their own agendas.
The publisher's blog, "Ezra Levant", his name, to refresh your memory has republished the Danish Cartoons on his home page and has a lot more background information on the incident, including more videos. http://ww.ezralevant.com/
If you can't view videos, here is the text of the statement:
Kangaroo court By Ezra Levant on January 11, 2008 5:04 PM
I have just returned home from my session at the kangaroo court, called the Alberta human rights commission. Here is my opening statement that I delivered at the interrogation. I will post more details about the interrogation soon.
Alberta Human Rights Commission Interrogation
Opening remarks by Ezra Levant, January 11, 2008 – Calgary
My name is Ezra Levant. Before this government interrogation begins, I will make a statement.
When the Western Standard magazine printed the Danish cartoons of Mohammed two years ago, I was the publisher. It was the proudest moment of my public life. I would do it again today. In fact, I did do it again today. Though the Western Standard, sadly, no longer publishes a print edition, I posted the cartoons this morning on my website, ezralevant.com.
I am here at this government interrogation under protest. It is my position that the government has no legal or moral authority to interrogate me or anyone else for publishing these words and pictures. That is a violation of my ancient and inalienable freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and in this case, religious freedom and the separation of mosque and state. It is especially perverted that a bureaucracy calling itself the Alberta human rights commission would be the government agency violating my human rights. So I will now call those bureaucrats "the commission" or "the hrc", since to call the commission a "human rights commission" is to destroy the meaning of those words.
I believe that this commission has no proper authority over me. The commission was meant as a low-level, quasi-judicial body to arbitrate squabbles about housing, employment and other matters, where a complainant felt that their race or sex was the reason they were discriminated against. The commission was meant to deal with deeds, not words or ideas. Now the commission, which is funded by a secular government, from the pockets of taxpayers of all backgrounds, is taking it upon itself to be an enforcer of the views of radical Islam. So much for the separation of mosque and state.
I have read the past few years' worth of decisions from this commission, and it is clear that it has become a dump for the junk that gets rejected from the real legal system. I read one case where a male hair salon student complained that he was called a "loser" by the girls in the class. The commission actually had a hearing about this. Another case was a kitchen manager with Hepatitis-C, who complained that it was against her rights to be fired. The commission actually agreed with her, and forced the restaurant to pay her $4,900. In other words, the commission is a joke – it's the Alberta equivalent of a U.S. television pseudo-court like Judge Judy – except that Judge Judy actually was a judge, whereas none of the commission's panellists are judges, and some aren't even lawyers. And, unlike the commission, Judge Judy believes in freedom of speech.
It's bad enough that this sick joke is being wreaked on hair salons and restaurants. But it's even worse now that the commissions are attacking free speech. That's my first point: the commissions have leapt out of the small cage they were confined to, and are now attacking our fundamental freedoms. As Alan Borovoy, Canada's leading civil libertarian, a man who helped form these commissions in the 60's and 70's, wrote, in specific reference to our magazine, being a censor is, quote, "hardly the role we had envisioned for human rights commissions. There should be no question of the right to publish the impugned cartoons." Unquote. Since the commission is so obviously out of control, he said quote "It would be best, therefore, to change the provisions of the Human Rights Act to remove any such ambiguities of interpretation." Unquote.
The commission has no legal authority to act as censor. It is not in their statutory authority. They're just making it up – even Alan Borovoy says so.
But even if the commissions had some statutory fig leaf for their attempts at political and religious censorship, it would still be unlawful and unconstitutional.
We have a heritage of free speech that we inherited from Great Britain that goes back to the year 1215 and the Magna Carta. We have a heritage of eight hundred years of British common law protection for speech, augmented by 250 years of common law in Canada. That common law has been restated in various fundamental documents, especially since the Second World War. In 1948, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to which Canada is a party, declared that, quote: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." The 1960 Canadian Bill of Rights guaranteed, quote 1. " human rights and fundamental freedoms, namely, (c) freedom of religion; (d) freedom of speech; (e) freedom of assembly and association; and (f) freedom of the press. In 1982, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guaranteed, quote: 2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: a) freedom of conscience and religion; b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
Those were even called "fundamental freedoms" – to give them extra importance. For a government bureaucrat to call any publisher or anyone else to an interrogation to be quizzed about his political or religious expression is a violation of 800 years of common law, a Universal Declaration of Rights, a Bill of Rights and a Charter of Rights. This commission is applying Saudi values, not Canadian values. It is also deeply procedurally one-sided and unjust. The complainant – in this case, a radical Muslim imam, who was trained at an officially anti-Semitic university in Saudi Arabia, and who has called for sharia law to govern Canada – doesn't have to pay a penny; Alberta taxpayers pay for the prosecution of the complaint against me. The victims of the complaints, like the Western Standard, have to pay for their own lawyers from their own pockets. Even if we win, we lose – the process has become the punishment. (At this point, I'd like to thank the magazine's many donors who have given their own money to help us fight against the Saudi imam and his enablers in the Alberta government.) It is procedurally unfair. Unlike real courts, there is no way to apply for a dismissal of nuisance lawsuits. Common law rules of evidence don't apply. Rules of court don't apply. It is a system that is part Kafka, and part Stalin. Even this interrogation today – at which I appear under duress – saw the commission tell me who I could or could not bring with me as my counsel and advisors. I have no faith in this farcical commission. But I do have faith in the justice and good sense of my fellow Albertans and Canadians. I believe that the better they understand this case, the more shocked they will be. I am here under your compulsion to answer the commission's questions. But it is not I who am on trial: it is the freedom of all Canadians.
You may start your interrogation.

Very interesting meeting of Cambridge Wireless Future Devices SIG, hosted by ARM, with the title "The Future is Already with Us – How Younger Users of Today's Technology will Drive the Technology of Tomorrow"
[Note: I have included links to each of the presentations but after an update to the Cambridge Wireless website these are at the time of writing (23 October 2017) no longer accessible. I have left those links in the text because at some later date the content might be made available, either publicly or to CW members only]
First off was an excellent presentation by Chris Styles of ARM tracing the history of computing platforms and the evolution of the ARM mbed OS and associated prototyping platforms, allowing platform-based embedded computing.
Chris was followed by Jason Fitzpatrick of the Centre for Computing History. Another story of the evolution of technology platforms, and how they have affected our lives. Jason reflected that we have moved from all watching our TV together, through solitary computer use in our bedrooms, back to all being together, but playing individually with our tablets and mobiles. As well as providing a home for historic computing and gaming platforms, the Centre for Computing History provides inspirational experiences for children and adults.
The highlight of the afternoon was Jack Lang, whose first-hand account of the development of the Raspberry Pi was informative and at the same time hugely entertaining. We learned about the reasoning behind its development, the surprise of its popularity, and how the manifold applications of the Pi have gone far beyond the original aspirations.
The final presentation was from Steve Marsh of GeoSpock, who expounded on the value of data with associated geographic reference as the number of connected devices grows. This concept can be expanded to include augmentation of the real world and blurring of the real and the virtual. We are moving from the world of the "glassholes" (users of the Google Glass) to the even more exciting HoloLens from Microsoft.
With thanks to ARM for hosting us, Cambridge Wireless for their usual excellent event management, and to the masters of ceremonies, John Roe and Peter Whale, who both happen to be ex-colleagues.
To see an example of the sort of innovative work that is possible on a Raspberry Pi platform, see http://www.argondesign.com/case-studies/2014/oct/21/stereo-depth-perception-raspberry-pi/

Moneybagg Yo's been pretty busy over the past few years. The rapper kicked off 2018 by dropping off his compilation record NLESS ENT x Bread Gang a few days a go and today, he drops off some new music. Moneybagg and his long-time producer, Dmactoobangin, link up on their latest single, "Ocean Spray."
Moneybagg Yo isn't dropping his lean in soda any more, he's putting it in Ocean Spray juice. His latest single is a bit slower and isn't as turnt up as some of his other offerings but it's still a strong effort. Dmactoobangin proves that he and Moneybagg have incredible chemistry on this single. It's another strong effort from Moneybagg Yo. Hopefully, we get another solo project from him in the coming months.
Quotable Lyrics
I can't believe it like Ripley's
I'm gettin' molested by triplets
If you ain't straight, keep your distance
Can't stand the rain like Missy
