08 November 2019 :
The Supreme Court on 7 November 2019 rejected a plea by one Manoharan — a convict in a double murder case involving a 10-year-old girl and her seven-year-old brother — seeking reconsideration of the top court verdict upholding his death sentence.
The murder of the brother and the sister took place in Coimbatore in 2010.
Upholding the death sentence, justices Rohinton Fali Nariman and Surya Kant by majority rejected the Mahoharan's plea for the review of top court's 1st August verdict upholding the Madras high court decision confirming the death sentence.
Justice Sanjeev Khanna — the third judge — while concurring with the majority view on conviction, differed on sentencing and favoured life imprisonment instead of death sentence.
Dismissing the review petition, justice Narinan pronouncing the order said, "In view of the majority judgment, the review petitions stand dismissed in entirety."
Both the girl and her brother were kidnapped on 29 October 2010 from outside a temple in Coimbatore, while they were going to school. Later, they were taken to a isolated place, where the girl was raped.

SKYMAP is a computer program which produces maps of arbitrary portions of the sky in a variety of projections and coordinate systems. Over the past 10 years it has been used to produce finder charts for occultations by planets, display scan and image data from the Spacelab 2 Infrared Telescope, and make maps of fields for astronomical observations at X-ray, optical, infrared, and radio wavelengths. It can display multiple source catalogs, including the HST Guide Star Catalog, as well as solar system objects with astrometric accuracy. SKYMAP can be tuned to a specific task using an ASCII parameter file which controls how information is displayed on any Tektronix-compatible graphics display or hardcopy device. The program contains a variety of interactive graphic and image processing features and has been ported to a variety of computer systems.

Title: The Digital Storm: A Science Fiction Reimagining of William Shakespeare's the Tempest
Published: 20th November 2017
Publisher: Not a Pipe Publishing
Author: Benjamin Gorman
Twitter: @teachergorman
The Digital Storm is an ingenious science fiction retelling of Shakespeare's The Tempest set in the near future inside a bank's intranet. Prosper, the analogue to Shakespeare's Prospero, is an artificial intelligence program who has been banished to a quarantined area in the bank's system, and there he's created an amazing virtual island home for himself, his daughter Memoranda, and the monstrous virus Caliban. Now, with the help of Ariel and the other programs he's invented on the island, he's conjured a massive digital attack on the bank's system to entice the members of the board, the very humans who exiled him, to enter the system so he can seek his revenge and escape to the Internet. But just how far does his revenge plan go?
Goes down as another off my 2018 Bookworm Bingo Challenge – A book with weather in the title. Might be a digital storm but a storm nonetheless. One that seems to come out of nowhere are cause all sorts of trouble to teach others a lesson.
So Bryan who looks after the tech people for Millennium banks is the first to realize that there is an issue with the software in the intranet system – they are under attack but don't know from where. This is where the creators of some high-tech systems and AI's come into play. The company is owned by Ada and she is one of the main creators. The only way to really see what is wrong with the system is to go into it. A virtual trip that takes on a life of its own, one none can seem to control.
AI's Prosper and Memoranda live on an island hidden within the network system. With the help of a human employee, when it was deemed for him to be deleted, he made his way there to continue to live and learn. This hidden place had old broken code sent to it when no longer needed and he managed to create the island to live on as a result. This ever learning AI creation then managed to create Memoranda. Only later trying to explain what she is in relation to everything else and what is happening to their island. He seems to also have other digital programmes at his disposal on the island as well. Ariel is one who tests things for him and he appears to be the one responsible for creating the digital storm stopping data flowing on Prosper's command. Done as a test to see what affects it would have on the human staff and how they react after the fact.
The island doesn't just hold old data but also a virus by the name of Caliban. He was sent to hack into the Millennium banks intranet system. When found he was deleted and ended up at the island. Prosper might not like him but he does have skills he can use to his advantage. Prosper was the one to send him to exile when he was in charge of looking after the intranet system but then he too soon found himself sent there when an upgrade was created – Sebastian.
Seems the storm was a way to get people to come and figure out what was going on with the system. The first to arrive on the island is Further, an AI Ada had created in secret. Prosper, Ada's first creation, and his daughter Memoranda find him first. He doesn't really know what is going on as on the island he has been given a form instead of just being a digital presence.
This is where the journey splits into three main areas as Further isn't the only one sent through the storm. Ada, Javier, Ted and Sebastian plugged their conscious minds in to get their and soon find themselves being lead around a creation more advanced than they could have thought up. Bit risky as if your mind gets hurt within what does that really do to the body? Ted is clearly looking at a way to get rid of Ada and Javier so he can be the head of the company with his AI Sebastian by his side. No guilt written into his programme so can almost be convinced to do anything his creator suggests.
The next split follows two hacker kids who felt like taking advantage of the system being down that they went exploring and found themselves on the island. They just want to have fun and when they find a never-ending bottle of booze you can guess the fun they might have. They seem to stumble upon the monster Caliban. He may be able to twist them to do his bidding in getting rid of Prosper by making them believe it truly is a game they are in, one they can win and rule the island.
This island is different, as it truly does seem to exist – elements, human reactions, touch, sound. A true digital world where Prosper is testing his theories he has learned in a way to create his own sense of self and now sense of his daughter too. Is she just a copy of him or does she have her own consciousness and skill of learning and developing.
Note to self if a banquet looks too good to be true it might just be when the host comes to say hello. Seems some people are to be judged for past mistreatments and that day is now. Can AI's have a sense of self and truly learn? That's one of the main things Prosper is trying to figure out. An interesting digital world you are sucked into and quite a journey you are taken on. It's a twist on a classic tale that is well worth a look.
4 out of 5 stars
I received a copy of this book from the publishers for my honest review.

• Very true! We need to stop being so judgemental. No one is perfect.
• Not running has actually been going OK. I have a meniscus injury and haven't run since Sunday. It is better and am planning to run again on Monday. Since I am in a StepBet Challenge, I have been doing a lot of waking in the evening. It is actually going well and I've been enjoying my walks. Today I did 18,645 steps. Since Monday I've done 65,092 steps. Yikes!
• You know how much I love my cat. I ordered a 2019 calendar from Walgreens full of Lola pictures. 🙂 I am definitely a crazy cat lady, right?
• I do not remember the last time gas was this cheap.
• You know I am OBSESSED with Tieks. Got these on Monday. I also ordered Ruby Red and I'd bet those will look pretty for the holidays.
• Just a reminder.

Our gas has come down, but definitely not that much!
I love the idea of a calendar made from pictures of your pet! Lola is a good subject.
I just noticed how cheap gas is lately. Gotta love it!

(Part one of this article, based on a visit by an international medical team to Israel/Palestine, discussed the horrendous apartheid-like conditions imposed by the Israeli rulers on the Palestinians in Gaza).
Modern Israel was born over 100 years ago, as Jews fleeing anti-Semitism in Europe began to immigrate there. This accelerated greatly after World War II when England and the U.S. refused to admit Jewish refugees from the holocaust. The Zionists' view of racism as a particular evil used only against them made them believe that only a Jewish state would guarantee safe harbor for Jews. This allowed the Zionists to invoke racism against the Arabs living in Palestine, claiming it was a "land without people for a people without land."
They bought up land and by the late 1940s had hatched a plan to forcibly remove Palestinians from as much territory as possible. Over 500 Arab villages and urban areas were destroyed and about 900,000 Palestinians were murdered or displaced (see "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" by Ilan Pappe). Many modern towns, parks and forests are built on top of these destroyed areas. This history is unknown to nearly all Israelis. It is forbidden to teach about it in the schools.
Most Palestinians, whose population about equals the Jews, live on 22% of the land of Palestine as defined before 1948, divided between the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza. A system of passes keeps them confined to one of these three areas, a tall separation wall surrounds them, and check-points dot the roads. Families are divided from one another, farmers are separated from their land, students from their schools, and patients from health care.
Israel controls 90% of the water, each Israeli using 15 times more water than a Palestinian. In Gaza, the Israelis have cut off most supplies, leaving the hundreds of dangerous tunnels dug from Egypt as the major supply routes for all goods. Hunger, malnutrition and unemployment affect the majority of Gazans.
The Israeli government continues to build more settlements in the West Bank, which is dividing the territory into three disconnected areas. This makes any proposed two-state solution impossible. Now more Palestinians and dissident Israelis are calling for one state.
As long as Israel continues to receive more foreign aid from the U.S. than any other country, about $3 billion a year, it is unlikely to change its policies. The U.S. needs Israel as a bastion of strength against the other countries of the Mid-East, who have the oil the U.S. covets or who oppose U.S. policies. Anyone who had hopes that Obama would change this should witness his groveling before the Israeli lobby and his appointment of Chief of Staff, Rahm, who had an Israeli terrorist father and is hard-line for Israel.
Palestine is also a class society, with a few wealthy families and the rest living very poorly (see Communist magazine, summer '08). Its leadership is divided between the corrupt Fatah party, which represents the ruling elite and is all too willing to make deals with Israel, and Hamas, a fundamentalist Islamic nationalist party which controls Gaza. No Palestinians we met had any use for either of them, but there is little alternative leadership.
The opposition "leftist" parties call for more democracy and one or two states, but do not discuss the structure of the society, classes, racism or critique nationalism. There appears to be little organized opposition to occupation of any kind, except the few rockets from Gaza and regular anti-wall actions in two villages. Many predict a third spontaneous intifada, or rebellion, when some atrocity sparks mass anger.
It is difficult to devise strategies in this apartheid situation, but certainly the need to understand the role of Israel, racism and nationalism in the context of world imperialism is primary. Then the task of building a movement of Palestinian and Israeli workers based on the call for an egalitarian, multi-racial society is at least clearer. Hopefully the contacts we made on both sides of the divide will advance this goal.

St Mathews Church in Surbiton, Surrey is to receive an energy efficient, brand new parsonage built to Passive House standards.
The modern, environmentally friendly building will be the home of the parish's vicar Helen Hancock, who has only recently taken over the vicarage of St Matthews Church. Helen is currently living in New Morgan because the site is not yet complete.
Nestled in Surbiton, a suburban area of south west London within the borough of Kingston upon Thames, St Matthew's Church is an idyllic local parish. Surbiton is an area steeped in history and was home to famous icons such as famous authors H G Wells, Thomas Hardy; broadcaster C H Middleton and Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais.
The previous vicarage was 200 years old and was cold, draughty and in desperate need of renovation. The former building has now been demolished and Claremont, the main contractors are currently on site in the process of conducting the internal plastering works.
With the external construction complete the project is taking shape with just the internal fit out to be undertaken before the vicar moves in at the end of November.
The new house comprises of a brick and block construction, red and yellow bricks, a tiled roof, timber windows and four bedrooms. Moving forward the on site team need to finish the internal plastering and then fit the bathroom, kitchen, doors and skirting to complete the project.
In order to remain energy efficient the house has been fitted with photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar heating panels, which are not only environmentally friendly but will make the house self-sustainable.
Fred Simons from Claremont Refurbishment, a traditional building contractor, is acting as the Construction Site Manager. Speaking to Premier Construction about the impact the new parsonage will have on the parish, Fred said:
"The new build will definitely make the area look nicer; the building also holds an office and therefore will allow the vicar to carry out work within her own home. The location of the parsonage, which is right next to the church, also means Helen will be more accessible to the parishioners.
"We are happy to be involved with the church as they are long term clients of ours who we enjoy working with."
Claremont Refurbishment were the main contractors on the project, and therefore oversaw the sub contractors involved in the project including ground workers, bricklayers, electricians, decorators.
London based Molyneux Architects are involved in the project and have been instrumental in the design of the parsonage. The company, which was established in 1989, has a broad range of experience across the built environment as both designers and facilities managers in the UK and in over 45 countries worldwide.
Having been involved in over 400 projects since their creation Molyneux are more than experienced enough to undertake the design of the Surrey based parsonage. The company works on projects in multiple industries including the ecclesiastical and community sector, residential, medical and welfare, commercial and diplomatic estate arenas.
Many organisations are involved in the project enabling it to run smoothly. These include A K D Contracts Ltd, Blue Sword, Carshalton Structures Ltd, Charcon Flooring Solutions, Colets Piling, Ditton Electrical Contracts Ltd, Holt Security Systems, T J Lowery, No Limit Plumbing Ltd, Overall Construction, Pica Flooring, R M Brickwork, Swift Roofing, Plastering Contractors (Stanmore) Ltd and E J Taylor and Sons Ltd.

There are many varieties of the 4-Eye Butterfly Fish.
Why do they appear to have 4 eyes?
One of the reasons for the spots on tail is an aid for the fish to camouflage themselves on the coral reefs.
Most butterfly fish have pointed snouts, useful for plucking out the small coral animals and getting into small crevices for tiny invertebrates which they feed on.
To a predator, the large dark spot on the tail appears to be the fish's head and often allows the butterfly to escape being the "blue plate special" of the day.

It doesn't matter if a modernization program is managed well if it isn't the right investment to begin with, according to a leading government management consultant.
"The hardest decision an organization has to make is to decide to stop doing something," said Barry Calogero, executive vice president of business development at Robbins-Gioia Inc.
Calogero's firm introduced a tool Tuesday that can help government agencies steer clear of those tough decisions by making the right investments from the start.
Robbins-Gioia introduced its Portfolio Management Solution at the FOSE trade show in Washington, D.C., as a tool for agency chief information officers and chief financial officers to analyze the best mix of information technology investments to meet their performance goals.
"Most agencies don't fail because they picked the wrong [enterprise resource planning] package. The technology is all good. It's the business processes at the agency that make the difference," Calogero said.
Robbins-Gioia is offering its Portfolio Management Solution to help agencies comply with the Government Performance and Results Act, which requires agencies to demonstrate how they use their resources to meet performance goals set for the agency to improve service to taxpayers.
The Portfolio Management Solution is a combination of software tools that helps managers analyze potential investments and processes, which in turn helps managers determine desired outcomes and tradeoffs.
The solution forces agencies to look at the impact of an IT investment on other programs, said Patricia Davis-Muffett, the company's director of marketing. Robbins-Gioia is piloting the solution with the CIO at the Defense Logistics Agency.

I set out to write a five-step article, helpful and easy to follow. The topic? Teaching kids to become independent thinkers who depend on God; I wound up with a thousand-word mess! I kept wondering, "What am I missing?" I realized, there isn't an easy five-step answer. Maybe the answer isn't about a set plan, but more about the heart—my heart.
Letting Go
When my oldest was little, I lived in terror. Terror of the scary things the world would someday teach her, terror that she would listen and terror that I wouldn't keep her safe. I wanted to protect her and hold her close.
As she grew, I realized each day, each moment contains: letting go. Preschool, elementary school, middle school, and onward—it's all been the opposite of holding her close and protecting her from the "big bad world". Instead, my life as a mom is actually about launching her to greater adventures, increasingly more of them away from me.
Point Them to God
Though it's painful, I've had to accept that I won't always be there for my kids. Just as I learned independence, I want the same for my children. They need to be prepared for the real world. Life isn't always easy. I struggle. I've faced some tough questions:
Why is my younger child disabled?
Why did I have cancer?
I don't always know the answers. But I do know God, and I trust him. Instead of fostering my kids' ongoing dependence on me, I need to point them toward my source of strength, hope and comfort: God.
In the process of pointing my kids toward God, I teach them how to make wise decisions; we set limits, we communicate and they practice making decisions.
For example, my daughter wanted to watch a movie recently, but when we looked up the film on Plugged In*, it has explicit sexual content. We talked it through and decided to skip the movie. Other times, we watch the movie together so we can discuss it afterwards. Although, she doesn't always love this approach; I've noticed recently, she comes to us with a movie choice having already looked it up. So, it seems to be sinking in!
The same goes for books. For a while, I tried to stay ahead of her on the books she read, but she started reading so fast, some slipped by me. When I realized one book I'd missed had some graphic sexual content, I went back and discussed it with her. I wasn't angry with her, but it opened some good discussions.
Technology is a bit stickier. Our goal isn't to employ such tight restrictions that our daughter wants to sneak around. Instead, we teach her to make wise choices so that she's equipped to make good independent decisions. To that end, we have some boundaries:
- The phone she carries doesn't belong to her. We have all passwords, and we check it.
- We enforce time limits, attached to consequences for misuse.
- When we have family time, no devices allowed–that includes Mom and Dad.
- We monitor the age-appropriate social platforms she uses. I'm an active user on each platform we say yes to. I have expectations for her: and me.
- Online is forever. We use discretion in what we post.
- There are social media platforms we say no to, based on some questions:
- What kind of content does the app promote?
- Who are the target users?
- What controls are in place on the app?
- Parent involvement benefits children. Check this out, "Why some 13 year olds check social media daily." The more a parent is involved and aware of the teen's social media world, the less stressful it is for them!
- With all of that in mind, I keep a sign on the front door: Remember who you are.
Finally, I've read that one thing teens crave is authenticity. So, let's be authentic with our kids. Let's . . .
Apologize for our mistakes.
Admit when we don't know what to do.
Go to God in prayer for answers.
Seek to be examples in making wise decisions.
Let them see the real us, the messes, the hurts: our humanity.
And be unafraid to see the same in them.

Twelve quintessential tracks have been re-mastered and re-arranged, giving new life to these legendary classics.
Since forming in the early 90's, they have consistently stayed a step ahead utilizing sounds that reflect avant-garde and artistic visions filled with a unique originality. The newest double CD release, 'The Best' is the ultimate album with legendary tracks carefully selected by Jan and Marcus themselves.

If one dares to choose, the most famous among these anthems that drove dance floors into a frenzy throughout the world are 'Our Own Happiness', 'Psychomachine', 'Relax Vortex', 'Panic In Paradise' on CD1 (comprised of releases from 1991 to 95); 'Freak', 'The Frog', 'Radio Rmx', 'Out Here We're Stoned' on CD2 spanning 1996 to 2001.

Take Inventory of Your Home
When I was young, our house caught fire right after Christmas. Thank goodness no one was hurt. Our insurance helped to cover the expense of our home being rebuilt and our belongings replaced.
The lesson I learned from that experience was that even good insurance is only as good as the records YOU keep. The insurance company can only be as helpful to you as you are to them. So, please (like do this today!) take inventory of your belongings.
This means taking pictures and making an itemized list of your belongings. Sounds difficult to create, doesn't it? And, where do you keep these records so that they aren't also destroyed if your home is?
I finally found a great and inexpensive solution to this challenge! The What You Own software keeps track of everything that fills our homes — from artwork to furnishings to jewelry. You can also quickly see how much it would cost to replace these items.
Once you download the What You Own software onto your computer, you can create a room-by-room inventory that serves as a record that's helpful for determining how much insurance to purchase. These records will be most valuable when settling insurance claims. You can even add images and receipts. It's compatible with both Windows and Mac systems. Download it today for $39.99: http://www.whatyouown.com
If this software doesn't work for you, you can always take the time to save your photos and lists on a safe online system like Dropbox that can be accessed anywhere.
No matter what system you choose, the most important thing is that you're organized and prepared if something happens to your home.

For John, BLUF: The President is being very evasive regarding immigration reform. Nothing to see here; just move along.
The President was on Meet the Press and provided new host Chuck Todd a chance to shine. Here is Professor Althouse on the interview.
The Professor has a fairly longish headline for her Blog Post:
257 words into his 393-word answer to Chuck Todd's question about delaying the executive action on immigration, President Obama says "and I'm being honest now."She follows that with:
Now, eh? That was telling!That is followed by a long dissection of the interview. And, there are comments. A couple of them are tasteless. Amongst the comments, this was my favorite:
If the President has the authority to make these changes he has had it for near on to six years, and yet has done nothing. That makes it sound like dereliction of duty.The only other point out of this whole mess is a consensus that Reporter Chuck Todd is no Tim Russert.
The only other explanation is that he lacks the authority, and knows it, and he is trying to run a bluff.
Regards — Cliff

Also, Worcester State has issued the following statement:
As City Manager Ed Augustus has publicly stated, the process fordeciding potential future uses of city-owned land adjacent to Chandler Magnet School is just beginning; no decisions have been made. The city has scheduled an open forum for Wednesday, April 1 at 6 p.m. at the Chandler Magnet School, where the city's plan will be presented and concerns heard.

The European Commission (EC) proposes to deduct the cost of equity in corporations.
Now an organization may only deduct the costs and interest of debt in the corporate income tax. This does not include the cost of equity, such as the payment of dividends. This means that financing with borrowed money is fiscally attractive. The EC wants to equalize the tax treatment of equity and debt, according to the draft directive which the European Commission wants to introduce for a common corporate tax base across the EU.
The draft directive would show furthermore that the EC intends to limit the use of the participation exemption. Now an organization should keep a stake of at least 5% in the other organization. The EC plans to extend this requirement to own 10%. In addition, the organization must hold 10% of the shares at least a year in succession to benefit from participation exemption.

Using the Metrics Explorer inside FusionReactor Cloud allows you to begin examining all of the metrics FusionReactor has collected from your instances or application.
On the left of the screen you can see the query configuration panel, this allows you to configure the queries used to generate the graphs that will appear on the right hand side of the screen.
Clicking the metric dropdown shows a searchable list of all of the metrics available for your account.
In the example we are looking at the application throughput metric, once this metric is selected a graph displaying this metric is automatically generated. By default this graph shows an aggregation of all of the available data in the system for that metric (from all instances and all applications).
From here we can now edit the previous filter to a 'literal_or' and select a particular application whilst adding a further compound filter to now split by instance. Now we have a graph showing the throughout of the FusionShop application broken down by individual instances.
Finally, using the series control dropdown it's possible to generate individual graphs for each instance to create a dashboard type overview of instances running the FusionShop application.

A 'techie' came to the studio to try to trouble shoot a problem on either Wednesday or Thursday (the days are running together here…. eep)
Tonight, when the weekend stuff was trying to air itself, the changes the techie made messed up the transmission. It's the equipment, not the techie. it isn't calibrated right, or it's just plain wonky.
My supervisor told me to shut it down and forget about playing anything this weekend, just get the Telethon out tomorrow.
Another employee (a producer) asked me why I didn't just adjust it with a screwdriver.
After I fixed it (gingerly) my supervisor said I shouldn't attempt to fix it if I don't know what I'm doing. It was already fixed. And it looked better (after I got home and checked it out on our teevee) than it has in a long time.

square tricks of numbers above and below 50| Mathematics Tricks
Finding square of two digit numbers (41 to 59) is very tricky and easy. Here it has been shown to find the square of numbers below(upto 41) and above 50 (upto 59) . This trick holds true only in this range.
First we find the square of 50 .
we take the above square as reference to calculate the square of the number below 50 and afoul 50.
case I: Here are calculate the square of 48 .
As 48 is less than 50 by' 2' . therefore me simply can write the square of 48 without doing calculation.
48^2 =2304
Here we subtracted 2 from 25 to get 2300. Next we add 2^2 to 2300 ; which becomes 2304 .
46^2 =2116
Here we subtracted 4 from 25 to get 2100. Next we add 4^2 to 2100 ; which becomes 2116 .
53^2= 2809 .
Here we add 3 to 25 to get 2800. Next we add 3^2 to 2800 ; which becomes 2809 .

Intervening on the Data to Improve the Performance of Health Plan Payment Methods
Savannah L. Bergquist, Timothy J. Layton, Thomas G. McGuire, Sherri Rose
NBER Working Paper No. 24491
The conventional method for developing health care plan payment systems uses existing data to study alternative algorithms with the purpose of creating incentives for an efficient and fair health care system. In this paper, we take a different approach and modify the input data rather than the algorithm, so that the data used for calibration reflect the desired levels of spending rather than the observed spending levels typically used for setting health plan payments. We refer to our proposed method as "intervening on the data." We first present a general economic model that incorporates the previously overlooked two-way relationship between health plan payment and insurer actions. We then demonstrate our approach in two applications in Medicare: an inefficiency example focused on underprovision of care for individuals with chronic illnesses, and an unfairness example addressing health care disparities by geographic income levels. We empirically compare intervening on the data to two other methods commonly used to address inefficiencies and disparities: adding risk adjustor variables, and introducing constraints on the risk adjustment coefficients to redirect revenues. Adding risk adjustors, while the most common policy approach, is the least effective method in our applications. Intervening on the data and constrained regression are both effective. The "side effects" of these approaches, though generally positive, vary according to the empirical context. Intervening on the data is an easy-to-use, intuitive approach for addressing economic efficiency and fairness misallocations in individual health insurance markets.

Personal Favorites: Magic Kingdom Attractions
By Dave Shute
This post is one in a series about personal favorites. See lower on the page for more about this series.
Based on what I do when I'm at Walt Disney World–even when I'm very busy doing research for this site, and have only an evening at the Magic Kingdom–I have four clear personal favorites at the Magic Kingdom:
- Peter Pan's Ride
- Space Mountain
- Splash Mountain
- Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress
I find Peter Pan's Ride continually charming. A few simple design decisions–flight, and forced perspective–led to a (mostly) consistently wonderful show.
The economy of the design is also striking–there's not a lot to Peter Pan, and not much of a building to hold it in. Yet even so it is a wonderful example of the theme park designer's art.
A few parts were poorly imagined from the start, and/or have been showing their age for a while.
The volcano/mermaids section is the best example. Anyone have any aluminum foil and orange paint they could lend to Disney?
Otherwise Peter Pan is wonderful.
Space Mountain is what it is–see this for a review after its recent refurbishment.
Splash Mountain is the essential Disney: great setting, great audio-animatronics, great story, great weenie, great ride.
Don't let what you see from the outside put you off–95% of this nicely long ride is sweet and gentle.
My 80 year old parents had been avoiding Splash Mountain for twenty years based solely on the water plunge you see from the outside.
When I finally succeeded in talking them into riding it, they just loved it!
My true favorite at the Magic Kingdom, however, is Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress.
- This isn't just because it's the only ride in all of Walt Disney World that Walt Disney himself touched.
- And it isn't just because it's the only ride which has been quoted as Walt Disney's favorite attraction, and about which he said it should never cease operations.
- And it isn't just because the ride had made its way–with multiple changes–from the 1964 World's Fair, to Disneyland, to the Magic Kingdom
Rather, though all of these count with me, it's my favorite instead because the ride epitomizes the two fundamental themes of Walt Disney's life–and hence of Walt Disney World itself: nostalgia, and faith in progress.
I delight also in these themes, and hence love Carousel of Progress.
The ride–which takes a typical American family, as defined in the 1960s, through the kitchen-appliance centered progress of the twentieth century–isn't for everyone, and for that reason I have it on my "Rides that Might be Skipped" list.
But for those for whom it touches a chord, it will do so strongly, and will resonate for years afterward.
The approach to progress it takes is not naive.
Most scenes have some element of minor disaster–ranging from fuses blowing out to the electrocution of Christmas dinner.
The more simple-minded will note that this represents the self-deconstruction of the ride's hegemonistic ideology.
More sophisticated observers will note that these disasters illustrate that progress, and the search for the new and the better, has always been driven by many nuts among the fruitcakes!
The advice on this site—when to go, where to stay, what to do, etc.–is aimed at the typical family visiting Walt Disney World for the first time, unsure if they will ever return.
It is based not on personal favorites or my own taste, but rather on a combination of facts, analysis, inference and judgment about what would be best for such a family.
My personal favorites can be quite different from my advice for these families–particularly because I'm older and hence traveling with twenty-year-olds, not little kids; have been to Disney World more than thirty times; and know I'll be coming back!
I thought at least some might be interested to hear about some favorites…if for no other reason than so that they can argue, using the comment form below!

SYDNEY, (Reuters) - Australia's central bank discussed unconventional monetary policies, including negative interest rates, at its August board meeting as it left the door ajar for further easing having already cut rates twice to 1%.
Minutes of the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) Aug.6 meeting showed it would consider further cuts to interest rates if it was needed to support growth and achieve its 2% to 3% inflation target.
The RBA left interest rates at all-time lows earlier this month after easing by a quarter point in both June and July.
Financial markets <0#YIB:> are fully priced for another rate cut to 0.75% by year-end, and to 0.5% by February.
Economists polled by Reuters prior to the August meeting predicted a third cut would come in November.
The RBA was tight-lipped about the timing of the next move, saying only that it would consider a further easing "if the accumulation of additional evidence suggested this was needed" to support its growth and inflation targets.
This implied that a September cut might be unlikely.
The country's A$1.9 trillion economy ($1.3 trillion) is expanding at its weakest pace since the global financial crisis, weighed by a long downturn in the property market and sluggish household consumption.
RBA policy makers have repeatedly singled out consumption as one of the biggest domestic uncertainties for Australia's stuttering economy.
The prospect of further reductions have stimulated debates on how low rates can go in Australia and the benefits from ultra easy monetary policies.
The RBA board reviewed the experience of other advanced economies with unconventional policies such as very low and negative rates, explicit forward guidance, buying government bonds and providing long-term funding to banks, the minutes showed.
"Members noted that a package of measures tended to be more effective than measures implemented in isolation," the minutes showed.
"Finally, it was important for the central bank to communicate clearly and consistently about these measures."
The RBA has already taken a step toward forward guidance. The minutes showed "it was reasonable to expect that an extended period of low interest rates would be required in Australia."
Last week, some economists, including at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA.AX), revised their outlook to price in steeper RBA rate cuts following an escalation in an ongoing Sino-U.S. trade war.
The RBA Board saw the trade dispute as increasing the downside risks to global growth, noting businesses around the world had already significantly cut back investment plans.

PGA Tour event turns to Fred Couples for dose of star power
Fred Couples turned 59 on Wednesday. He hasn't played in a PGA Tour event other than the Masters since February 2016. He hasn't played full-time on the big tour since 2009, and he hasn't won on it since 2003.
So why on earth is Couples spending this week at Silverado Resort in Napa, competing against players less than half his age?
The answer speaks volumes about Couples — and the Safeway Open's curious place in the golf galaxy.
First, know this about Couples: His connection with fans remains strong. They waved at him, posed for photos with him and asked for his autograph as he sauntered up the 18th fairway — no one saunters quite like Freddie — in Wednesday's pro-am.
Couples complied every time.
He's in Northern California this week, in part, because of his longtime friendship with Jeff Sanders, the tournament's executive director. They played junior golf together in the Pacific Northwest and kept in touch over the years.
Sanders invited Couples to play in last year's Safeway Open, but his perpetually troublesome back was bothering him and he passed. This time, when Sanders again offered Couples a sponsor exemption, he agreed.
"I don't want to ever say this is my last PGA Tour event," Couples said after he completed Wednesday's round, "but I'm planning on this being my last PGA Tour event besides Augusta."
Couples' presence at Silverado vividly illustrates the dilemma for tour events in the fall. Sanders desperately needed Couples and his star power, because nearly every big-name pro steered clear of this week's tournament.
That's the reality of an unappealing spot on the calendar, one week after the Ryder Cup and two weeks after the Tour Championship. All the top players — Dustin Johnson, Tiger Woods and the rest — preferred to catch their breath.
The result: No players in the top 20 of the world ranking are here this week. Only two in the top 50, Patrick Cantlay (No. 22) and Phil Mickelson (No. 24), will tee off in Thursday's opening round.
Ten golfers ranked between No. 50 and No. 70 arrived, headlined by nine-time tour winner Brandt Snedeker. That makes sense, because those players want to climb into the top 50, one of the criteria used for entry into the Masters and British Open (the U.S. Open takes the top 60).
At any rate, this helps explain why Sanders sought out Couples — even at 59, far removed from his glory days.
"I'm surprised the field isn't a little stronger," Couples said, "but I'm excited to be here."
Next year's field at Silverado should be stronger, partly because Woods will be expected to fulfill his obligation to play (stemming from a long-ago agreement with the tour). Also, the Tour Championship will take place in late August, creating much-needed separation before the fall schedule.
Tour officials plan to add an event in the Bay Area in 2019, hosted by Warriors guard Stephen Curry. That probably will precede the Safeway Open, potentially enticing players with two consecutive weeks in Northern California.
"I think the star power in the field will be significantly greater next year," Sanders said.
For now, Mickelson and Couples carry the banner. It's not ideal, by any stretch. Bay Area sports fans are accustomed to big names, from Joe Montana and Jerry Rice to Barry Bonds and Buster Posey to Curry and Kevin Durant.
They jammed Harding Park when Woods tangled with John Daly in 2005, and when the world's best players tussled for the U.S. Open title at the Olympic Club in 2012. They will not flock to Silverado to see Brendan Steele chase his third consecutive Safeway win.
So it's left to Couples to provide a touch of stylish nostalgia. He's encouraged by the state of his back — and the reasonable length of Silverado's North Course — as he prepares to play alongside Snedeker and Cantlay on Thursday and Friday.
Tournament officials are counting on Couples to smack majestic tee shots, saunter down the fairways and connect with spectators. That last part comes naturally.
"I'm old and I've never really stopped, from the time I was 20 until today," Couples said. "I hope the fans rally behind me and maybe save me a shot or two (Thursday). I'm going to need it."
They need him, too.

Qualities of a Church Leader
An elder must be without blame. He must be faithful to his wife. His children must be believers. They must not give anyone a reason to say that they are wild and don't obey.
A church leader is trusted with God's work. That's why he must be without blame. He must not look after only his own interests. He must not get angry easily. He must not get drunk. He must not push people around. He must not try to get money by cheating people.
Instead, he must welcome people into his home. He must love what is good. He must control his mind and feelings. He must do what is right. He must be holy. He must control what his body longs for. The message as it has been taught can be trusted. He must hold firmly to it. Then he will be able to use true teaching to comfort others and build them up. He will be able to prove that people who oppose it are wrong (Titus 1:6-9, NIrV).

London's biggest gathering of food trucks ever gets rolling
Food at a truck stop is not normally, well, survivable, but the folks at Tweat Up (Ribstock, Chilli Stand Off, etc.) apparently see this as a challenge, and've set about gathering "the largest collection of food trucks ever assembled in London", ready to hit Canary Wharf on July 4th/5th.
To really sell it, however, they're also adding a Camden Town Brewery "keg party" and setting up a roadside diner & barbecue pit (courtesy of Rotary Diner), plus extras like a cocktail bar, a "secret" gin bar, live bands, and a taco shack.
The food trucks, you ask? Well, expect to find the likes of this breakfast burger from Original Fry-Up Material (whose food always goes well on The Streets), plus Mexi-deliciousness from the Taco Truck, and the always awesome Yum Bun.
This right here? This is the new truck from the chicken-slinging dudes at Mother Clucker. It's an old US ambulance, and after gorging from it, Anna Mae's BBQ wheels, and Sorbitum's cachaca-choco-ice van… you might need one.

Title: The Boy Friend

Author: Mika Jolie
Date of Publication: April 25, 2017
According to the law of attraction, women and men can't be friends.
Contrary to this myth, my friendship with Coriander Phillips does not rest on unrequited love or un-actualized lust. We've been inseparable since the day I pulled one of her pigtails and she punched me in the gut.
She's hilarious, fun to hang out with. Together, we're like peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti and meatballs, wings and beer. A match made in heaven.
She's the bomb.
Did I mention she's smokin' hot? I've checked her out…maybe once or twice. Hey, I'm a guy.
Seriously, no awkwardness, no secret yearning for our relationship to escalate beyond the purely platonic. I'm the boy friend—the loyal shoulder she cries on, the dispenser of coffee, sympathy, hugs, advice, and affection with no expectations.
Until the invisible line between friends and lovers became blurry.
Now I want more. I want her.
All I have to do is convince her we can be more than friends.
If only it were that easy.
In Patti's Imagination Rating: 8/10
Amazon Rating: 4/5
Dean.... First let me start with saying that I loved the end of the book. I loved the happily ever after that finally came for Cori. She is an amazingly sweet and fun woman. She is a fantastic friend and a bright spot for everyone.
Having said that, the reason behind the 4* which is pretty high, is that I was struggling through this book. There was Dean, the playboy, the boy friend. He was oblivious to his heart's decision to love one woman. He kept his body and his heart separate. While this is okay for the first part of the book, later on, when they kissed? That's when Dean fell a little in my eyes.
While I found this book to be worth it in the third section of the book, I struggled while I got to that part.
This book definitely plays with your heartstrings. It snagged my attention and I couldn't wait to see the end. I knew Dean would mess up, and I was right. There won't be tissues needed but you will need all the nerves and patience you have to get through this book without screaming at Dean at the top of your lungs. (which I couldn't do with kids just a foot away sleeping).
Happy reading!!
Do you consider yourself part of a couple, or are you still playing the field?
Dean: At this moment in my life, I'm part of a couple. (pauses) Hopefully for a lifetime.
with Dean Conrad Morello of The Boy Friend
Do you consider yourself part of a couple, or are you still playing the field?
Dean: At this moment in my life, I'm part of a couple. (pauses) Hopefully for a lifetime.
What do you think people always assume about you that is wrong?
Dean: That I'm an arrogant cocky SOB. Okay that's not entirely false.
To whom are you closest?
Dean: This is a tricky question. There's Lucas and Cam, those guys are my brothers from another. But then there's Coriander. She's my human diary. With her, I can be vulnerable. It's kind of scary.
Where are you most at home?
Dean: Definitely with Cori.
What is your most cherished memory to date?
Dean: (Smiles) There are so many. I can't really pick one. Funny thing, most of them involve Coriander. Many are included in The Boy Friend.
Describe a typical Friday night - who is there, what are you doing?
Dean: Every Friday night Cori and I meet at the only restaurant in town. It's a non-date, date kind of thing. We BS, have a few drinks, then go our merry way. It's great.
When you need to unwind, what's your activity of choice?
Dean: Sex. A game of basketball is a distant second.
What is your favorite drink?
Dean: Scotch. Neat.
Who is your favorite band/singer?
Dean: I'm a big fan of Dean Martin. As for current music, Mumford & Sons is always on my playlist.
What is the one thing you've always wanted that you don't yet have?
Dean: Good question. Well, I wanted the girl and I got the girl. Life is good.

Conifex Timber, publicly listed softwood forest products company operating in the Northern Interior region of British Columbia, Canada, has completed the previously announced acquisition of the Suwannee sawmill in Cross City, Florida and the Caddo River sawmill in Glenwood Arkansas, USA.
The company says the two mills have a combined dimension lumber capacity of 370 million board feet and will triple its U.S. southeast capacity.
Conifex says the mills have seen recent upgrades and modernization, and are complimentary to its sawmill in El Dorado, Ark.
The purchase comes as lumber producers benefit from elevated prices buoyed by rising U.S. housing starts, tight supply and softwood lumber duties applied by the United States government.
Canfor Corp. announced in February that it was also expanding capacity in the U.S. southeast with the construction of a $155-million sawmill in Washington, Ga.

Transneft Commissions REM High-Voltage Electric Motors Plant in Chelyabinsk
On 24 October 2018, an opening ceremony of the RUSSIAN ELECTRIC MOTORS (REM) plant was held in Chelyabinsk. The new plant was built to produce high-voltage electric motors in the Russian Federation as part of Transneft's import substitution initiatives.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and G. Conte, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic, who had come to Moscow, together gave the permission to launch the plant from the president's residence via video conferencing. In response to the command from the Kremlin, N. Tokarev, President of Transneft, S. Zecchinato, Operations Director of Nidec ASI S.p.A., and V. Bondarenko, Director General of Konar, pressed the symbolic button, and the first electric motor of the plant was started and brought to the rated operating condition.

It's not everyday that one gets to meet and be friends on a first-name basis with a genuine VIP from another country.
A real, genuine one.
And it's certainly a rare one when you get to travel with His Excellency and a small group of friends for 6 consecutive days (yes, sir six – count 'em!) – enjoying a full load of fun and banter the whole stretch, having meals, drinks and cigarettes together, and enjoying a not-so-common recreational activity under heavy rain and scorching sun on unholy hours in some of the most remote areas of the country!
How many times in a man's lifetime can one experience something like that?
Unless, of course, you were born to royalty. Or your job entailed socializing with the high and almighty.
And so when I was invited by a cousin, Nestor Dolina to join a small group of bird watchers for a birding tour he was organizing – a small group which included a VIP (a fact which was mentioned as an aside before the trip) – it would have been crazy to turn down such an invite.
His Excellency, Ambassador Robert Brinks, the Ambassador from Netherlands, however, had to emphasize time and again that, no, he was traveling not on official business, not as a diplomat representing his country; he was here as a private individual.
A private citizen.
Here to enjoy one recreational activity, which became apparent as the days wore one as high in the list of his personal pastimes he truly enjoys doing most – bird watching.
Private citizen Robert Brinks' last assignment was just a stint in Baghdad (no mean feat!), where he confessed he felt more like a virtual prisoner amidst the constant bombings left and right.
And coming to the Philippines, he must have felt what being "free as a bird" truly meant!

LEHMAN Caves
In 1870 Absolom S. Lehman and Olive S. Lehman settled at 600-acre ranch near Lehman Creek. Their ranch was about 1.5 miles below the cave which was still unknown to them.
There are many stories about how and when Lehman found the cave, but his daughter Laura reports that he found it shortly after she and her mother and brother left the ranch to go back to Ohio in 1881. Olive, who was suffering from tuberculosis, died there in 1883. Laura said before her mother died, her father brought them stalactite specimens and told of an astonishing cave near their ranch.
It is said that the native people warned Lehman and others that a little man with a blue beard would bring dire consequences to anyone who entered this sacred cave of the dead. The entrance to the cave had been used as a burial site.
However, the discovery caused a great sensation, and soon people were coming from all over the state to climb the wooden ladder down into the cavern where they toured using only candles for illumination. They broke off formations as souvenirs and for profit and often inscribed their names and the date on the walls and ceiling.
Soon, Lehman was charging $1 for adults and 50-cents for children 12 and over to tour the caves.
Lehman died in 1891 and subsequently his ranch at Lehman Caves was sold to Charles W. Rowland. Mrs. Rowland guided visitors in the cave until the early 1900s.
In 1922 President Warren G. Harding issued presidential proclamation establishing Lehman Caves National Monument. On October 27, 1986 President Ronald Reagan signed the Great Basin National Park Act creating a 76,000-acre park that included what was the Lehman Caves National Monument.
Lehman Caves is one of the most richly decorated limestone caves in the United States. Underground streams carved the caves over millions of years. The water dissolved the natural limestone rock and the liquified calcium carbonate slowly precipitated into forms such as stalactites, stalagmites, helectites, shields, and many other unusual shapes.
Small creatures have recently been found in the cave that have, so far, been found nowhere else on earth.
