What is BikeHouston?
We are a nonprofit organization working to make Houston more bike-friendly. We are doing this by uniting Houstonians that ride bikes, or that would like to ride bikes, behind one voice and asking for change. We are a funding partner of the Houston Bike Plan, which is being managed by the City of Houston. This will be the blueprint for future bikeway connections, corridors, and the growth of the overall bikeway network. This plan is in the second stage of review. Please take their survey and provide your feedback at houstonbikeplan.org. We were able to co-fund this plan due to our ability to leverage our membership base to secure grant funding. If you are not already, join us as a member at level comfortable to you at bikehouston.org/membership. We also have a volunteer membership option.
Tell us about the BikeHouston Bike Valet program.
BikeHouston Bike Valet is a service we offer to help people store their bikes in a convenient and secure manner while they go to an event, shop, etc for a few hours. We have our own portable bike racks and assign each bike a number so that we are sure that the correct person is getting the correct bike back. We have volunteers and/or staff present at all times. This is a free service for users.
How did BikeHouston start offering Bike Valet?
Bike Valet has been used around the country by other bicycle advocacy nonprofit organizations and even as a private business. Historically, we have offered this service at Sunday Streets and other events where large amounts of people may be commuting by bike. Our portable bike racks are new and our system has evolved somewhat, but the idea is the same. We want to make riding a bike easier and more convenient for all people in Houston.
Who uses Bike Valets?
Bike Valet is most utilized when in immediate proximity to the event or attraction that people are going to. Even being a block or two away from a venue/event is too far. It has to be front and center so that it is more convenient and visible for people on bikes. Anyone can use this service and it is free.
What are the benefits of bike commuting?
There are many reasons to commute by bike. It is healthy, environmentally-friendly, and makes sense economically. Depending on where you are commuting to/from, it may even be more convenient and faster than driving a car. Some people commute to relieve stress. The average cost of owning a car in the United States is about $8,600 a year, including gas and maintenance. A good portion of commutes in Houston are made by single occupancy vehicles traveling less than three miles. Three miles is a leisurely 20 minute bike ride. Why not just ride a bike?
What can Houston do to promote biking and protect its bike riders?
Traditionally, Houston has been known as a car-dependent city, as many others in the United States. Over the past 5-10 years, American cities have started to realize that they need to start designing cities for people rather than motorized vehicles. Instead of highways and streets with 4+ lanes cutting through dense downtown and other neighborhoods, urban planners have started to prioritize vibrant communities that have more transportation options such as biking, walking, and public transit. It's good for business and for attracting a high-caliber workforce. This means more space, more business, and streets that are designed around what the speed limit actually is. For example, narrower lanes on a 30 mph street with a high quality 6+ foot wide bike lane and wider sidewalks makes biking and walking more attractive and safe options. More people on bikes helps to educate people in cars of their presence and movements, creating a safer atmosphere for all road users. This doesn't mean that commuting time will increase for people in cars; it may actually mean that it decreases due to fewer stops at lights and a more fluid movement of people (we all see people hammer on the gas pedal only to stop in the next block at a red light). These types of projects are being prioritized in the Houston Bike Plan. Go to houstonbikeplan.org to take a survey and leave feedback.
What will BikeHouston be doing at Earth Day Houston?
We will be offering our signature Bike Valet and talking with folks about riding bikes in Houston. We will have printed material on what your rights are as a person on a bike as well as Houston bike maps. If you are a person that rides bikes or someone that would like to ride on safe streets, we need you as a member. We have considerable momentum with the Houston Bike Plan being finalized and need to continue growing our membership to get the plan built. Please join as a member online at bikehouston.org/membership, or in-person at Earth Day. Five years from now when the priority projects in the plan are built, and ten years from now when we have an expansive bikeway network that makes Houston a world-class destination, don't you want to know that you played a part in this transformation?
What can bike riders at Earth Day Houston expect?
Expect a safe and convenient place to leave your bike while you enjoy the activities at Earth Day Houston. We also hope that everyone that arrives on a bike rides away after learning something new about their own safety and the evolution of Houston.
Thanks for a great interview Will! You can catch BikeHouston, their Bike Valet, and all the fun at Earth Day Houston on Saturday, April 16 at Sam Houston Park downtown. We encourage you to contact BikeHouston with any questions or concerns at [email protected]. Check out their website at bikehouston.org.

Citizen TV news anchor Jackie Maribe was the trending topic for the better part of Tuesday, September 25, after her name was mentioned in a case involving the murder of a woman in Kilimani, Nairobi.
Maribe's quandaries began just a few hours after her fiancee, Joseph Kuria Irungu, was arrested and held at the Kilimani police station over the murder of Monica Kimani in her residence at Luciane apartments in Nairobi.

Preliminary police reports indicated Irungu was arrested because he was suspected to be among people who got to Kimani's house, cut her throat and stuffed her lifeless body in a bathtub.
Maribe was grilled by police over the matter hours after his fiancee's arrest after detectives stated the suspect's report at Langata Police Station claiming he had been shot on Friday, September 25, was incomprehensible.
Well, following the buzz around Maribe, TUKO.co.ke went down the memory lane to unearth a list of men who at one time, dated or were rumoured to have dated the TV girl.
READ ALSO: Citizen TV's Jackie Maribe engaged and TUKO.co.ke has photos of the lucky man
Top on the list are renowned blogger and ex-State House digital and social media personality Dennis Itumbi, Comedians Eric Omondi, David The Student and journalist Oliver Mathenge.
Itumbi and Jackie were so tight and photos of them together in a number of occasions led many into believing they were an item.

It was also rumoured the lass went out with Eric Omondi who was even suspected to be her baby's father, although the two vehemently denied the reports in separate interviews.
Comedian David The Student is also among men said to have eaten Maribe's cookie.
Another one on the list is Star journalist Oliver Mathenge although unlike the aforementioned, news of his relationship with Maribe was not in the public domain.
TUKO.co.ke cannot point out which time Maribe dated each man but judging with history, there was something going on between her and the aforementioned men at one given time or another.

New organizations, and Bands have some uncertainty attached to them, they may change what they are, in an attempt to get the interest of the public. The change makes it possible for a group that was accepted by Gharrs rules, end up falling outside them. To handle that uncertainty, Gharr might decide to place bands here, to keep an eye on what they decide to do.
Existing bands and organizations that change in the main articles section, are handled differently, and are often given notes to explain the change.

- About this book
This book presents the advances in super-resolution microscopy in physics and biomedical optics for nanoscale imaging. In the last decade, super-resolved fluorescence imaging has opened new horizons in improving the resolution of optical microscopes far beyond the classical diffraction limit, leading to the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2014. This book represents the first comprehensive review of a different type of super-resolved microscopy, which does not rely on using fluorescent markers. Such label-free super-resolution microscopy enables potentially even broader applications in life sciences and nanoscale imaging, but is much more challenging and it is based on different physical concepts and approaches. A unique feature of this book is that it combines insights into mechanisms of label-free super-resolution with a vast range of applications from fast imaging of living cells to inorganic nanostructures. This book can be used by researchers in biological and medical physics. Due to its logically organizational structure, it can be also used as a teaching tool in graduate and upper-division undergraduate-level courses devoted to super-resolved microscopy, nanoscale imaging, microscopy instrumentation, and biomedical imaging.
- About the authors
Vasily N. Astratov has been professor of Physics and Optical Science at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte since 2002. In 1986, he received his Ph.D. degree from the A.F. Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute in Russia. Since joining UNC-Charlotte in 2002, his research has been devoted to a new field of study which he has named "microspherical photonics" to describe the applications of dielectric microspheres in super-resolution microscopy, resonant light forces, photonic nanojets, and photonic molecules. In his lab, he proposed and developed the methods of super-resolution imaging based on using high-index dielectric microspheres immersed in liquids or in elastomeric slabs. His methods are widely used by many groups worldwide for imaging subcellular structures, viruses, and nanoplasmonic structures. He also observed giant light forces exerted on microspheres under resonant conditions with their whispering gallery modes. This observation builds upon earlier pioneering work of Arthur Ashkin and Joseph M. Dziedzic on optical forces exerted on microdroplets. Previously, in the mid-1990s he pioneered studies of synthetic opals as novel three-dimensional photonic crystals for visible light. He has authored and co-authored about 180 research publications and 15 patents which have been cited more than 6000 times.

The impetus for introducing disease-resistant grape varieties was given on July 5 by the National PGI Wine Committee, which authorised integration of varieties classified in the national catalogue to specifications on request. Producers' organisations for PGI Aquitaine, Ardèche, Gard, Hérault and Oc are now on the starting blocks. "The first applications to change specifications are expected by the end of 2018 or the end of 2019. We hope that the authorisations will be approved for the next vintage", said Christelle Jacquemot, director of the PGI Committee, who stressed that the classified resistant hybrids were eligible for restructuring grants (at least for three wine-growing areas) and authorised within the European PGI framework (unlike AOCs).
In practice, this means that the producers' organisation of a PGI wine can request that the desired number of grape varieties be included in its production specifications, provided they come from permanently classified varieties that are resistant to downy mildew and powdery mildew. This limits the selection to twelve grape varieties as per the April 2017 decree: 11 German hybrids (Bronner, Cabernet blanc, Cabernet Cortis, Johanniter, Monarch, Muscaris, Pinotin, Prior, Sapphires, Solaris and Souvignier gris) and one Italian (Soreli).

The rising mercury is not only affecting humans but animals as well. Authorities of Surulia Mini Zoo at Purulia district have made changes in the menu of animals there to give them some respite from the temperature which is hovering around the 42 degree centigrade mark.
The usual diet chart of bears and deer comprised milk, bread, egg and maize. Those have been replaced by cucumbers, water melons and glucose. Bears are being bathed for longer hours during the day.
The rocky regions of the district adjacent to Jharkhand is used to witnessing scorching summer every year. This year the heat waves have been a lot earlier than usual and Met officials said that it would continue till mid-June.
That had prompted zoo authorities to bring about the changes.
The zoo, located on the outskirts of the district houses 22 deer, two bears, three chimpanzees, two monkeys, one peacock, two porcupines, one owl and one python.
Of these inhabitants, zoo authorities have changed the menu of deer and bears as they thought they were more susceptible to falling sick in the sweltering condition.
The shelters of all the animals and birds have been covered with sacks which are kept moist artificially to help bring down the temperature of the enclosure.
Range officer Nalini Kanto Mahato who is in charge of the zoo said that it had been a practice every year to alter the diet chart of animals to help remain comfortable. He also said that jaggery powder was also added to the food of deer which helps them fight the loo. "At about 9 am cucumbers, water melons and chickpeas are fed to ensure that they are not dehydrated. More number of water containers are kept in the deer enclosure and glucose is added to the water," he added.
Another official said that bears were hardly eating any food and were more interested in water games as the day progressed. As they did not want to come out in the open, it was leaving visitors disappointed.

As the replacement for the Gerald Desmond Bridge moves closer to completion, traffic options around the Port of Long Beach are being reduced.
Eastbound traffic coming off the Gerald Desmond has been funneled onto Pico Avenue to get around the construction site. That still will be the case, but now there will be only one offramp from Pico Avenue.
The other offramp is being closed permanently to clear space for bridge construction.
People still can get to the 710 Freeway or Ocean Boulevard going to downtown Long Beach from Pico Avenue. As motorists leave the bridge, those going north to the 710 should stay in the left lanes while traffic to downtown should stay in the right lane.
"With all eastbound traffic now using one off-ramp, we encourage all travelers to exercise good judgment and patience," Duane Kenagy, Port of Long Beach capital programs director, said. "Watch your speed and be aware that traffic may suddenly slow as you reach this single off‑ramp area."
There will be an overnight detour Friday to complete the traffic pattern change. Work should be done by Saturday morning, officials said.
The replacement bridge, which still doesn't have a name, will be a high cable-stayed bridge allowing for the largest cargo carrying ships to get under it. There will be six traffic lanes, emergency shoulders, bike lanes and a pedestrian path. The nearly $1.5 billion project is scheduled for completion late next year.

Drawing while I work #24 - Ronin Tenshiryu - Original draw and story.
8 comments
An encounter that shouldn't happen
With his left hand injured, Tenshiruy, a ronin, is on a mission to rescue his son from a group of samurais that was leaded by the elders of a village called Tenkinawa that do kidnapping jobs to members of the high class of the main cites, their samurais are known to be ruthless and powerful but to their misfortunes, they kidnap the son of a former samurai, a ronin that let the life of klling in the past to live a peaceful life with his wife and kid.
This samurais entered his house while he was collecting some fruits for breakfast and when he arrives to his house he found a letter. "If you do want for your son to have the same fate as your wife, come to the village Tenkinawa with everything you have." his live as a killer lets him a big fortune for all the jobs as a htman and was not going to let all that taking away just like that, besides, he wanted to avenge the murder of his wife and in the process, get his son back.
When he gets to the meeting point, the only thing he has is his sword, a nihonto called Kogarasu maru, a double edged katana, demanding to get his son back or else there will be concequences. everyone looked at him with surprise as they didn't know that the woman they killed and the kid they kidnap was his. As soon as they refused to give the kid back, the slaughter begun, Tenshiruy was known as faster than thoughts but the years of peace had made him slower, the group of soldier were confident as they got to injurred him on his left arm when used as shield, after a while, our ronin manage to killed everyone of them and went straight to their leader, a former companion of tenshiryu was waiting for him.

The new liberality concerning marijuana possession in the United States is long overdue, but let's not exaggerate how much progress we've made. Users might not be ending up in jail as frequently as they did 10 years ago, but cops, judges, and courts still exercise arbitrary power to ruin people's lives, and they continue to do so at astonishing rates, all over the country.
Mind you, no phones or computers are allowed in court and once you enter through the metal detector, you are trapped for the duration. There is no contacting anyone. For most people today, this would be the only time in their lives when such contact is forbidden. This rule contributes to the feeling of being controlled by and subjected to power.
RELATED: Everyone in Colorado May Get a Pot Tax Refund
You just have to wait your turn, even if it takes eight hours. So you sit and wait.
Not one person in this particular courtroom had harmed anyone. Not one. They had not stolen anything, had not mugged anyone, had not caused any car wrecks. And yet there they were, facing torment at the hands of a judge drunk on power and a criminal-justice system that is out of control.
Most of the criminals were poor, young, black men who had been stopped for some traffic violation and then booked for a different, unrelated offense. Why the lopsided demographics? Were these people targeted? It would be hard to prove, but it seems highly likely.
A Fee.org reporter continues his personal experience…
The supposed crimes called out by the judge were all over the map: there was too much tinting on the windows, the license plate light was burned out, the vehicle was following too closely, the driver was speeding (of course), the car had expired tags, the driver wasn't carrying proof of active insurance, and so on.
Each person was fined between $500 and $3,000, and always on a plea bargain. They admitted guilt for something in exchange for paying a reduced fine.
For example, the judge dismissed my one charge (not complying with the "move over" rule — which requires a drive to switch lanes away from a patrol car on the shoulder — a rule I didn't know existed) and I admitted guilt for something that wasn't even true: driving without my license. In fact, I did have my license, so the form I signed was a lie that the judge had me tell. By what understanding of justice does the court blackmail you to admit to crimes you didn't commit?
Fully one-third of these people had been dragged in for pot possession. In the typical scenario, a cop would stop a car on a rural stretch for some minor moving violation. The cop would claim to smell pot, which constitutes probable cause, and initiate a thorough search of the car. The cop would find a pipe or some pot, arrest the person, and then issue a few other tickets in addition, for things like no proof of insurance, a burnt-out taillight, and so on. But it was the pot charge that had landed these drivers in front of the judge.
Repeatedly, the judge reminded the accused, "We are not in Colorado. In the state of Georgia, your offense carries with it a 12-month prison sentence."
RELATED: Medical Marijuana Stores Refused on Tax Breaks
The judge then said he would not send the person to jail. He dismissed a few other charges, thereby positioning himself as a merciful public servant. He was then in a position to get any of these poor souls to admit guilt for anything as long as they would get a lesser sentence.
Everyone was fined. But some punishments went further. The pot criminals were required to do 50 to 100 hours of community service, taking away time from school, work, and family. They now have to attend classes on the dangers of drugs (I'm sure those work!). They also must submit to six months of drug testing to make sure they are not consuming this dangerous substance. They prove this by sending in urine samples. Now I understand why there is such a burgeoning market for synthetic urine.
They also get a criminal record.
Then there's the fine. Most people could not pay hundreds or thousands of dollars on the spot. The judge gave them one month to cough up the money. Where are these poor people going to get that kind of money? One solution that immediately occurred to me: they could get into the drug business temporarily. Another option: steal the money. How much crime is being brought about through these fines?
Then there were the DUI charges, which carried stiffer penalties, including suspension of licenses. Probably one-third of the people were there to deal with that problem. Again, there was no evidence in the courtroom that middle-class white people have ever gotten behind the wheel after consuming too much alcohol. This courtroom gave a strong impression that the only drunk drivers are young black men.
Stuck in this room for eight-plus hours, without a computer or other reading material, the only thing I could do was count the fines. I came up with an estimate of $75,000 collected on that day. And the judge was brazen about it all.
He kept asking each person, "When are you going to pay me?"
RELATED: Writing Off Medical Marijuana is Totally Legit, According to The Game
Despite this appalling display, everyone treated the judge as some kind of great man. Court employees laughed uproariously at his terrible jokes, nodded in agreement when he would moralize about pot, and complied with his every command. I think he believed he was doing good for the community, based on the many ways in which he congratulated himself on his dedicated work.
The whole system is clearly a tax-collection scheme masked as justice. In the end, what this court wanted was money, and the people it squeezed were the least able to pay.
What I saw rivaled the worst forms of petty tyrannies I've read about in history books: how tyrannical kings would use every trick to pillage the population of their meager resources. I very much doubt that there is anything unusual about what I saw. It probably goes on every day in your town, too.
Not one person in that room needed to be mixed up with the court system. None of the money and time they gave up deserved to be taken. A true dispenser of justice would have flung open the doors and set the captives free.
Instead, they were subjected to an excruciating, pillaging, and humiliating system that barely masks its true nature.
And we wonder why so many people are unhappy with the system.

Today I got my latest build online and mining. This was the first build that actually gave me any trouble. I had a PCIe adapter not work, but then I put it on another rig and it worked. I had a monitor cable start to act weird at the same time I installed the drivers for the GPU so I thought the driver was bad. I had to reflash the bios in two cards a couple of times. It was a mess. It was a perfect build to film because I was able to produce a lot of troubleshooting content.
I filmed this latest build to produce a course on building a 6 card mining rig. Now I know that there is a ton of content online about building rigs, but there's always a few elements missing from each video. I will be working on editing the course over the next week and plan to launch it on Udemy.Com with a sale price for those who purchase the course early. I will officially launch the course with a complete outline of the course, but for now, you can signup for the pre-release which will get you a huge discount on the course, and early access.
The course is now live, check it out!
The new rig has been running for a couple of hours now. Though almost all of the components are the same as my previous build there are two cards that are different. There is an XFX RX 580 and a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580. Those Sapphire Nitro+ cards are powerhouses out of the box without any mods. I have never seen an RX 580 hash at 28 mh/s mining ETH out of the box.
The new rig is currently mining ETH using Claymore Miner v.10 and I am mining through Nanopool. The rig currently is running at 174 mh/s but one card is underperforming. I think I may need to reflash the bios on that card. Trying a different overclock profile on it does nothing.
With that said, it was a fun build. It gave me plenty of issues but it has been up and mining for hours now and is doing just fine. I look forward to editing this course so I can get it up on Udemy.com. I have had so many questions about mining and though I am still learning, I have the build process down.
Stay tuned to the blog and the YouTube channel for more videos to come soon.

Here the NPR interview with Lawrence Wright, author of The Looming Tower.
In 2007, Lawrence Wright won a Pulitzer Prize for The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11, his nonfiction account of the formation of al-Qaida. The book, based on more than 600 interviews, examines the circumstances that led to the formation of al-Qaida — and the creation of Wright's one-man off-Broadway show, My Trip to Al-Qaeda. The one-man play focused on the insights Wright gained and the moral dilemmas he faced as he tried to remain objective while researching and writing his book.
A new documentary based on his play premieres Sept. 7 on HBO at 9 p.m. EDT. The film combines footage from Wright's interviews with his sources, many of whom have ties to al-Qaida, with scenes from his play — and raises several questions about the U.S. role in the "war on terror."
See the trailer for the HBO documentary here.

Warm Thy Neighbor
The Rhode Island Good Neighbor Energy Fund (GNEF) announces that its 33rd annual "Warm Thy Neighbor" campaign, which helps Rhode Island households in financial difficulty with the payment of their energy expenses, is now underway. The United Way of Rhode Island, the administrator of the Fund, has received seed money from the Fund's sponsoring energy companies - National Grid, Ocean State Power, Pascoag Utility District, Petro Home Services and RISEC LP - so that eligible households can receive assistance immediately. The Good Neighbor Energy Fund's 2018-2019 campaign goal is to raise $350,000 and help more than 750 households.
In addition to the sponsoring energy companies, the Good Neighbor Energy Fund campaign relies on the generosity of individuals, families, local corporations and community organizations for support. Yellow donation envelopes are enclosed with energy bills through February. Those interested in donating to the Fund can text "WARM" to 91999 on their mobile phone, send a check payable to "Good Neighbor Energy Fund" to United Way of Rhode Island, 50 Valley Street, Providence, RI 02909 or visit www.rhodeislandgoodneighbor.org.
United Way of Rhode Island encourages those households in need of energy assistance to visit their local Community Action Program (CAP) agency to determine household eligibility for the Fund which is based on total household income not exceeding 300 percent of the federal poverty level. For example, a household of four is eligible for the Fund if its annual income does not exceed $75,300 while a household of six cannot exceed $101,220. Grants to individual households are determined by fuel type and need and will not exceed $650 per heating season.
Since its establishment in 1986, the Rhode Island Good Neighbor Energy Fund has raised over $14.2 million and helped over 45,500 families in need of temporary energy assistance.

Peel Forest 8ply
Peel Forest is a small community close to Geraldine in New Zealand's South Island, where I live. It's a forested area with native Totara, Kahikatea and Matai trees and the town has a lovely homely community feel.
This pretty scarf has a simple leafy lace edge that is reminiscent of the mountains and the trees in the area, and garter stitch for easy knitting in front of the telly or the fire on a cool night.
Peel Forest is my first pattern. It has been designed to make the very most of your 100g skein. Included in the pattern are instructions for weighing your skein between sections and row repeats to ensure that you have the smallest of nuggets left after you've bound off.
This pattern is written for 8ply/DK yarn. For the 4ply/fingering version of this pattern, please see the Hanging Rock Roost store. You can also purchase both versions of the pattern in my eBook, which you'll also find in the store.

Compliant always with John O'Sullivan's First Law that all organisations not actively leaning right will, over time, become left-wing, The Spectator Australia has always been among the nation's small but valiant band of defenders of Western civilisation.
The path of the Marxist bacillus into the minds of the young has been greatly facilitated by Canberra's politicians moving into areas beyond their constitutional and administrative competence, and in particular, the schools.
In this, despite the taxpayers' billions, the politicians are destroying a school system painstakingly built up over generations, with Australian students now outperformed by Kazakhstan's.
Canberra has inadvertently provided the answer to the dilemma that so concerned the great Sir John Glubb, that the only thing we learn from history is that men never learn from history. The political elites answer to this dilemma is simple: just stop teaching history.
Otherwise the young would marvel at the sturdy alliance between Sir Robert Menzies and B. A. Santamaria against old-style communism and how this delivered a golden age to our nation. Or they would relive the heroic alliance between Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and John Paul II in the knowledge that this led to the collapse of Soviet communism and the liberation of countless millions.
If the young had known these things and of the glory of Western civilisation, they would have been better prepared to withstand the cultural Marxist juggernaut and its facile dogmas which gradually replaced their Judeo-Christian beliefs. And we would not now be witnessing the serious undermining of Western civilisation.
Unleashed in the Whitlam interregnum, the rise of the cultural elites in Australia had been brought to a grinding halt by three events.
The first two were the landslide election of the Howard government in 1996 and then the 1999 rejection of the Turnbull-Keating politicians' republic designed to endow the prime minister with near-dictatorial powers, breaking the golden thread that goes back to before the Magna Carta. Seeing that from the engine room of the campaign against this constitutional monstrosity, what was surprising to me was the gullible support for this among more than two thirds of the politicians, almost all of the mainstream media, with a list of celebrities and against the ominous silence of big business.
What was especially disappointing were the experts who understood and condemned its constitutional flaws but then who later campaigned for it. Fortunately, the rank and file were too smart, with the No case winning nationally, in every state, and 76 per cent of electorates, a result achieved by a military style campaign with a lean command and almost 60,000 loyal foot soldiers.
The third event was in 2004 when John Howard was returned with a majority approaching that of 1996. It seemed that the elites could well and truly have been routed and that this was another golden era. Nevertheless, in a book that year, Twilight of the Elites, I did ask whether this might only be a partial eclipse.
Tony Abbott, who had suggested to Paul Ramsey his magnificent bequest on Western civilisation and who wrote the foreword, emphasised that this civilisation is foundational for Australia and for all Australians. To my surprise, he centred this on my outsider status. To the 'Paddington republican set', he said, I should have been one of them. 'Weren't people like Flint supposed to be victims of a racist Crown and the boring conformist Australia which flourished under it?'
'White Australia in its heyday', he wrote, seemed to 'have given "Flint's family the same welcome" as had been "widely extended to people from Asia since the 60s".' He said that as a 'non-Anglo', I was far from oblivious to Australia's flaws. But neither did I take its strengths for granted nor feel compulsory guilt about its institutions. I was, he said, a ' living refutation' of the cultural determinist argument that 'the monarchy somehow stops people from other backgrounds feeling at home in Australia' tackling 'some of the other big issues in the culture wars: philosophical relativism, the Judeo-Christian heritage, the victim mentality and Australia's place in the world.'.
A generation ago, he wrote, what would have been remarkable about my views was my 'moderation and urbanity', but what was remarkable now was my 'courage in tackling so many topics from the perspective that the traditional values and practices at least deserve a fair trial.'
By 2007 it was not so much, as the mainstream media claimed, that Australians were tired of John Howard's sound government and moral certitude over the preceding eleven years. Rather, it was the mainstream media who had never wanted him and were lying in wait for the opportunity to get him.
Just as they are now trying to destroy Peter Dutton for bringing down Turnbull by converting leaked au pair trivia into scandal, so the media undermined Howard by exaggerating minor matters, just as they later did to Abbott and just as the American mainstream are now doing to President Trump .
The mainstream also pushed the fiction that Kevin Rudd was just a younger and more able Howard, a fiscal conservative.
Despite his record in Queensland and the likely reversal of the industrial law reform they had championed, even the Australian jumped on the bandwagon and campaigned for Rudd. But on his retirement, the then editor, Chris Mitchell, apologised for 'his greatest mistake', persuading Rupert Murdoch to support Rudd.
So just as The Spectator Australia was being conceived by its UK publisher, the great Andrew Neil, the twilight came to a sudden end in 2007 with border control soon abandoned, extremist global warming theory the state religion, education standards set to fall, massive debt incurred for frivolous reasons and traditional institutions undermined.
By a constitutional sleight of hand, Australia was cheated of a conservative government in 2010. But when one was actually installed in 2013, this was undermined and eventually overthrown by the treachery of the LINO's (Liberals In Name Only) in alliance with the mainstream media.
But as The Spectator Australia goes into its second decade, it is reassuring that it remains one of the few which continue to comply with O'Sullivan's immutable First Law.
May it long continue.

A Simple Plan: Coolers
Tips for Selecting Wine Refrigerators Seasoned wine collectors are aware that wine skins are not
Tips for Selecting Wine Refrigerators Seasoned wine collectors are aware that wine skins are not sufficient to store and preserve them. Buying unique, expensive wine that requires certain special condition requires that you follow through with getting proper storage for the same if you are going to get the best out of it. It's crucial to store your wine in proper controlled setting of temperatures. A couple of items need to be looked at when deciding upon a fridge for our wines. Think about the placement. Prior to purchasing the fridge, you need to determine which area in your house, you would set up the inbuilt coolant for that you'll store your wines. In the case that you're striving to get the freestanding fridge then you're more flexible to select certain areas to use it. However, this is not the same for built in type of refrigerators are meant to be a permanent fixture of the home and may be situated under a counter. Most people tend to choose the built in refrigerator because they may be remodeling their kitchen or building a new home, which makes it more convenient to have the coolant fixed finally. However, these inbuilt coolants need to follow a specific dimension. Price is also a major consideration when choosing a wine refrigerator. The prices of this coolant range for different reasons including style, size and features that go with it. In case of inbuilt refrigerators then the installation costs are going to be important to the overall costs of the refrigerator. In case you're strong expensive bottles of wine for which you have already made very substantial investment in then you will surely be interested in making extra features to safeguard your investment. You are able to install security locks and touch screen features which will signify that the coolant will definitely cost more.
News For This Month: Coolers
Capacity is an additional major consideration when making the decision to buy a wine coolant. The capacity is influenced by two factors. In the event you are going for an under-counter, coolant then you ought to consider the space available for it. However, in the event that you are not limited by any space then you need to consider the number of wine bottles that you will want to store depending on your collection habit or goal. Always purchase a coolant dependent on the company's specification whilst placing in mind that the sort of wine jar may also help determine your final choice. Choose a cooler that can accommodate all the wine bottles that you want at any given time. Check for a coolant that will accommodate varying bottles.News For This Month: Coolers

This of course has nothing to do with Millbrook but somehow the story caught my eye and perhaps it is worth sharing without the editor's comment.
"The Russian owner of the Château Bellevue in Yvrac in southwestern France says the 18th century treasure was destroyed "in error" by a team of Polish builders after a misunderstanding.
Dmitry Stroskin, a software specialist, told the French newspaper Sud Ouest that he bought the property in 2010 from a rich Bordeaux family.
A year later, he submitted an application for building permission to the local authorities. Local official Lise Mattiazzo described his plan as "a very pretty renovation project".
Stroskin says he hoped to use the house as a holiday home and had intended to repair the façade of the chateau, modernise the pool and build a pool house.
However, some of the local people note that he is still using the same construction company for his projects."

NBC internal report: Brian Williams lied a half dozen times
Williams, who began his career in the Joplin market at KOAM, lied half a dozen times, according to an NBC internal report. Williams has been suspended since he was caught making up details about coming under fire while he was in Iraq.
The following passage, from the New York Post article, details a newly revealed exaggeration by Williams:
Williams – serving a six-month suspension from the anchor desk at "NBC Nightly News" – gave conflicting accounts in February 2011 of his actions in Tahrir Square, where pro- and anti-government forces engaged in violent clashes, the paper reported.
Appearing on Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show," Williams said he "actually made eye contact with the man on the lead horse," referring to camel- and horse-riding pro-government troops.
Stewart asked about reports that the pro-government forces were using whips, and Williams said about the leader he claimed to have encountered: "Yeah, he went around the corner after I saw him, they pulled out whips and started beating human beings on the way."
But the network's reports on the clashes said Williams was working from a balcony overlooking Tahrir Square — not on the ground from the chaotic square itself.

Priyanka Gope has always considered late veteran Subir Nandi as one of her foremost mentors. But she never got the chance to sing his songs. Finally that chance came on July 29. Priyanka performed some of the popular songs of Subir Nandi at a musical soiree held at Chhayanaut Auditorium, Dhanmondi in the city. Priyanka is a famous Nazrul exponent and artiste; but she sang the modern songs of Subir Nandi at the soiree, which was part of a memorial programme for Subir Nandi. The event was organised by Bengal Foundation.
The regular musical programme titled 'Gaaner Jhorna Tolay' was planned for two days. On the first day, there was a musical soiree remembering Subir Nandi titled 'Praner Khela'. Priyanka Gope performed two songs of her own besides Subir Nandi's songs on the occasion. Two promising artistes---Zarif Ikram and Aishwarya Samaddar also performed at the memorial evening.
At the first part of the programme, a documentary on Subir Nandi was screened. The documentary is based on his life, works and immense contributions to cultural arena in our country. Nandi's wife Purabi Nandi, daughter Falguni Nandi and renowned artistes of the country were present on the occasion. While remembering her father Purabi said, "Many organisations are doing programmes for paying gratitude to my father. It is a great honour for us. It is really hard for us to believe that he passed away. He was so humble and professional about his career. He has amused the listener through his unique voice and projection."
The soiree began with Nazrul's song. Then Priyanka performed the songs titled 'Ki Jey Betha Buke', 'Ghumiye Ache Shanto Hoye', 'Uchaton Mon', 'Dip Nibhiye Jhore', 'Rumjhum Rumjhum' of late Subir Nandi.

Mass change
The mass is a fundamental physical quantity for determining a quantity of substance. In the context of this size, the properties inertia and severity are defined. Inertia means that an external force is required to change the direction or speed of movement of a body. Gravity is the result of mass attraction of bodies (gravitation). The unit of measurement of the mass is kilogram [kg].
The determination of the mass is carried out by weighing. A balance is used to determine the weight of a substance that results from the weight and is proportional to the mass. The unit of measure of weight is Newton [N]. In common usage, this relationship is often neglected and the term weight is used as meaning mass.
The mass change in the thermal analysis
Thermogravimetric analysis determines the mass change of a sample or material during heating or cooling. The result is also referred to a mass change or weight change and is usually given in micrograms [μg]. The determination of the mass change is carried out with a thermobalance.
The thermobalance consists of the oven with precise temperature control, the very accurate electrical balance, supply lines for required gases and evaluation units for the measured value processing.
Linseis thermal analysis instruments allow simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) to simultaneously determine mass changes and release or consumption of heat during the controlled temperature history. The mass change is due to evaporation, sublimation or chemical reactions. Heat is released or consumed in chemical reactions and phase transformations.
The values determined are an important basis for the development of specific materials in the automotive industry, for the investigation of food as well as for product development and quality assurance in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
Applications with mass change
Application: Talc
Introduction and Application: Talc (Mg3(OH)2[Si2O5]2) is a mineral composed of hydrated magnesium silicate. It is used for the production of steatite bodies used as isolators with high resistance and a low dielectrical loss factor. The impurities (chlorite, carbonates) can be detected with combined TG and DTA signal.
Analysis using STA: The dehydroxilation of chlorite appears at 608°C and 848°C as endothermal DTA signals. At 786°C evolve CO2, the carbonate decomposes to its oxide. The endothermal peak at 937°C is the dehydroxilation of talc. The quantitative measurement of the impurity can be evaluated from the TG signal.
Application: Calciumoxalate standard
The picture shows the measurement of a Calciumoxalate standard. There are three mass loss steps, where the first one is the removal of H2O, the second one is the loss of CO, which is immediately oxidized to CO2 in air atmosphere (this is why the second peak is exotherm instead of endotherm like the others.) The third step is the loss of CO2. The resulting Calciumoxide (CaO) is reacting afterwards with the water from the first step, that is still in the reaction chamber if the atmosphere is static. It shows the formation of Calciumhydroxide (Ca(OH)2) that is formed at around 580°C. This last step is hard to see on a standard STA or TG because of the slow cooling rates. But in this case, a whole measurement cycle can be done within just 20 minutes. In this example the heating and cooling rate was 2K/s, but you can easily go up to 100K/s.
