OSWESTRY RAILWAY I I COLLISION. BOARD OF TRADE INQUIRY. I WAS THE TABLET SYSTEM AT I FAULT? Col. Druitt on Tuesday held a Board of I Trad-e inquiry into the recent collision be- tween two goods trains *on the Cambrian Rail- ways near Oswestry, which, resulted in the death of a fireman and serious injury to three other men. Amongst those present were Messrs. S. Williamson, general manager, G. C. MacDonald, engineer, W. K. Mmshall, solicitor, Herbert Williams, traffic manager, J. Williamson, assistant engineer, and Hetbt. I Jones, locomotive manager, representing the Company; Dr. W. Aylmer Lewis, the district coroner; Messrs. Robert Moffat, organising secretary of the N.U.R. I. Gregory, Amalga- mated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen; and Mr. J. 1-1. P. Bcrthon, for J. B. Saund,ers and Co., Ltd. The first witnesses were T. R. Edwards, signalman at Oswestry, and W. H. Evans, signalman at Eilesmere, both of whom were on duty when the accident occurred. They were subjected to a strict investigation by Colonel Druitt as to what occurred on the night of the accident, and most of the ques- tions and answers referred to purely technical details connected with the system guiding signalmen's duties and the instruments in I their charge on the railway.—Edwards said i immediately he was informed of the accident he put his put his signals up and went to the ¡ suene.-Col. Druitt: Why did you leave your box?—Witness; I thought it best to render what assistance I cou;d..—~ When you went to the scene of the accident who did you see • first? Driver Williams, and I said to him "Have you got your tablet?" and he replied I have."—Why did you ask him that ques- tion ?-It was the first that came to me. Signalman Evans was asked, Have you ever known the signal fail-have you ever I experienced, a case of two tablets being held up?" He replied in the negative. Any ir- regularity on this occasion in the ringing of the be "s,41 Ko, sir. Witness said he had not the slightest idea of the accident until' after it occurred.—Col. Druitt: Did you know the goods train was running late from Eliesmrre? Witness: Yes, I told the Oswestry people earlier in the night. W. H. Davies, a guard on one of the collid- ing trains, said he came on duty at 12-40 a.m. at Oswestry and ieft the station at 1-10 a.m. ¡ The accident happened about 1-50. After the ¡ accident, witness protected" his train and went back to Oswestry. He there told Signal- man Edwards what had happened. After the accident witness saw the tablet hanging in its usual place in his train. The tablets were I taken possession of by Foreman Pritchaxd. Guard J. Jones, who was in charge of the train coming from the direction of Eilesmere, i said the first thing he knew that anything was wrong was when the collision took place. H. Hayward, employed by J. B. Saunders and Co., Ltd., said. he was in charge of the ) tablet instruments at Oswestry and Ellesmere, i and had held the position for 11 years. H: last overhauled the night tablet system at ¡ Ellesmere in October and at Oswestry in November and found everything in perfect j ord,er.-Col. Druitt: It would seem the tablet was released at Eilesmere without the con- j currence of the Oswestry signalman, and when that tablet was out it released the two j tablets. Under what conditions could that I come about?—The witness said it would be I possible for the current working the system to j come into contact with an extraneous current and thus be responsible for what happened. He saw the instruments the same day as the accident and they were in perfect order then. —Col. Druitt: How do you think these two tablets came out together?—Witness: I say I it was the result of outside influence. Have you tried to reconstruct the accident? —No. Mr. MacDonald said he had. tested the signaliing system in every way, but could not get it to work the same way as on the occasion of the accident. ¡ Mr. Minshall: Would the tablet be effected ¡ by snow ?—Witness Yes. Mr. MacDonald: There was not much weight of snow on the wires that night. Col. Druitt: I don't think much of that myself. He add-ed that he did not think it j necessary to hear theiirBIllan of one of the 11 trains. He would interview the other men who were injured, and he would now CiOse the .nquiry, -A L r.

The National Memorial AS Gelation
The National Memorial AS Gelation. Mr, Edward Powell, Newtown, pi?sided &t a I meeting of the council of the King Edward V H. Welsh National Memorial Assooiat-on, held at Shrewsbury on Friday. The Ccner? Di?ctor (Mr. D. W. Evana)( in presenting his report, called attention to the Pail-ameutary re'turn as to toe mdim-nistraU «i sanatorium benefit, and ?w?t-ra?ted the pOSI- tion of Wales as '?m??reo. with Laxd,'¡ arid Scotland..Ht- said that in England the cost to insurance comnutteespe;r cac;;e was L24, in Scotla.nd £30, and in Wales £ 11. As to the number of insured pelrsons and the-i" dependants who received treatment, out of 1,000 insured persons the ntumbefc' of in- sured persons or depeTidants who received treatment was as follows 'In England 2.6 in Scotland 2.05, in Wales 5.0. The per cent- ages as to persons who received institutional treatment only were: England 2.1, Scotland 2.1, Wales 3.6. All these figures went to show that in comparison with England and Scot- land insured persons and their dependants in Wales we're in a far better position. The General Director presented a staAleticai returns of patients treated, which showed that the number treated and who we're receiving treatment up to the end of 1917 was in sana- toria 538, in hospitals 12,588, atnd examined, treated or recommended for treatment 45,724. It was deoided to hold the next meeting of the Council at Llandrindod.

Official Secrecy
Official Secrecy. MAJOR DAVID DAVIES'S CRITICISM Maior David Davies. M.P., made a vigorous attack in The House of Commons, on Wednes- day, in the Government's policy of official secrecy, par*-xi-la>rly insitanoing- the case of Cattnbml In order to dispel popular misappre- hension, be invit•.> the Under Secretary for War to state whther the reports which had filtered through from the front, were or true. Alh:dul,r to certain references in the "Tim<:s" to Sir .Doug-las Haig's choice of subordinates, he .said he did not think any newspaper could pos- i ébly have published a more damaging statctiiepS about a commander in-ohief, and he was shocked to think that possibly recent changes -it ».H Q. were due to oorne sort of preisuie by the povei- fal Press to carry out chanpes which Sir Douglas did not wish to carry out of his own accord. Ho did tios think an- one, after the experience of the War OfTce durirg the war, had any great con- fidence in any inquiries it might irLAitUre, and it was time the Government took the Hoiue of Cnifimonj more into its confidence on these sub- iecTs. A statement by Mr. t Macpherson in reply de- scribing: attacks on gi-r Doug-lts Haig- as "cruel," dre,v from Ma jor Da.vies the retort: Why has the Government allowed these attacks in the Press against the Commander-in Chief to go on dunnp the laat few weeks, whilst we here have kept silence? Mr. Macpherson said suppression of Press work of the War Cabinet, and if it had not been done, ic was not for him to say why. At no time had Sir Douglas Haig lost the cohflde-nce of -the Govermuent or of the War Ofnce.

ST. MARTINS, MILITARY HOSPITAL.—Special efforts have been made recently in the parish to render all the assistance possible towards the equipment of the Auxiliary Military Hospital at Chirk. A house-to-house -collectioi-i was organised, and on Thursday Mr. James Gregory, on behalf of the subscribers,; handed Lady Trevor a cheque for Trevor a che l ue f?)r £ 32 13s. 3d. Lady Trevor promised to nave a record of the gift duly placed on the walls of the hospital.
Our Portrait is of Mr. Frank Inge, of 209, King\ Cross Road, London, W.C.. who writes:— I had a very bad running abscess in the jaw for some years; it was gradually eating the bone away—it would get better and then break out again. I was continually poulticing the absceM, but still it would not heal. One day comeone advised me to try Clarke's Blood Mixture,' and after taking two bottles I could see a great difference, so I continued with it, and after taking I the third bottle it had disappeared. I was quite run down, weak, and very thin, but as soon as the abscess had healed I began to fill out again." Abscesses, Ulcers, Bad Legs, Glandular Swell.. frigs, Eczema, Boils, Pimples, Sores and Erup- tions, Piles, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Gout, are all sure signi of clogging blood impurity, calling for immediate treatment through the blood (out- ward application is of little use). For cleansing the blood of its impurities, there is no other remedy just as good as Clarke's Blood Mixture. Pleasant to take, and free from anything in- jurious. Ask for and see you get Clarke's Blood Mixture 'EVERYBODY'S BLOOD PURIFIER." I Ot aU Cuemmos and Storm. 2b. Qii. pei )Aoiz,"

Priestesses of Avalon
The sacred World of the Mythica is full of these priestesses and magickians. Beings whose essence is driven to Remember who and what they really are; sanctified vessels for the redemption of the planet. And they do this in the most magickal of ways. In rituals of dance, of tantric alchemy, of nurturing and crisp clarity. These are the bright Women; those who occur for me as the radiant champions of an emergent Goddess.
As with all things in Creation; life can be a sacred act; if we approach Her with such reverence.
In such a manner, dancing around a circle together becomes far more; sitting quiet before an altar becomes a deep, visceral experience. Songs sung from our Heart become the clarion call of our rebirth. Every little act becomes something deeper; a devotion of union with a Universal significance that is larger than we could possibly perceive.
In my travels across the Mythica, I have met many of these priestesses; and observed that more are being born each day. Women ready to stand behind their voice; to align with the natural World and the callings of their soul. It is a great time, of real magick and opportunity; where the Green forest waits patiently for our bare feet and wonder.
When one shifts their perspective into the Mythica; many things become revealed. Beings who seemed a certain way on the Surface plane are shown to be something much larger, much greater. Part of the Great Story that links us all together. As the World is changing, becoming cleaner; as we are learning to honour the Divine aspects within our Selves; there is a resurgence of sacred community. A gathering, all across the territories, of beings whose Purpose is to be the change shifting our collective consciousness into the emergent World. To show their movement across the realms.
They come in many shapes and sizes, in many different timbres of archetypical significance. Yet all are part of the much larger energetic movement that is moving it's way through the planet. The return to the Divine Feminine; to a place of balance, where we may come back to the qualities within our consciousness that allow ourselves to be changed; to be influenced and penetrated by the Voices of the Wind, of the Water, the Earth, the Fire and the Space in which all things exist.

2015 NBA Mock Draft - Kevin Hanson- Updated: Wednesday, June 24th
Here are picks 16-30 in my 2015 NBA Mock Draft:
16. Boston Celtics: Bobby Portis, PF, Arkansas
Power forwards Brandon Bass and Jonas Jerebko are both free agents this offseason and Jared Sullinger will be a restricted free agent next offseason. The SEC Player of the Year, Portis averaged 17.5 points and 8.9 rebounds per game for the Razorbacks last season.
17. Milwaukee Bucks: Kevon Looney, PF, UCLA
The versatile power forward actually played point guard as a senior in high school (in Milwaukee, coincidentally) and had a solid freshman season for the Bruins -- 11.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks per game and shot 41.5 percent from three-point range. In fact, no freshman had more double-doubles than Looney (15) last season.
18. Houston Rockets (via New Orleans Pelicans): Jerian Grant, PG, Notre Dame
The son of Harvey Grant and brother of Jerami Grant, Jerian has an NBA pedigree and the versatility to play either guard spot. Grant, who turns 23 in October, averaged more than 12 points and five assists in all four seasons at Notre Dame with 16.5 points, 6.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game last season. While the knock on Grant is his age (compared to most prospects), the senior has the ability to come in and contribute right away, which could make him more desirable to a talent-rich team like the Rockets. Houston's starting point guard Patrick Beverley will be a restricted free agent this summer and he was backed up by Jason Terry (37 years old) and Pablo Prigioni (38).
19. Washington Wizards: Sam Dekker, SF, Wisconsin
Not only is he an excellent athlete, Dekker has good range on his jumper, but he needs to knock them down with more consistency. Dekker could also fill a need as small forward Paul Pierce has a player option for the 2015 season.
20. Toronto Raptors: Montrezl Harrell, PF, Louisville
The biggest knock on Harrell is that he's undersized (6-7) for a power forward and he's a horrible shooter (53.3-percent free-throw shooter over three seasons at Louisville), but he possesses a non-stop motor with excellent strength and athleticism. Harrell averaged 15.7 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals per game as a junior.
21. Dallas Mavericks: Tyus Jones, PG, Duke
It's fair to say that the trade for Rajon Rondo did not go as planned for the Mavs. Rondo is an unrestricted free agent and there's no chance that the Mavs bring him back. Jones may lack the physical tools teams covet, but he has tremendous court vision and led Duke to a national championship as he was named the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player.
22. Chicago Bulls: Delon Wright, PG, Utah
The senior point guard for the Utes, Wright does it all -- 14.5 points, 5.1 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 1.0 blocks per game -- but is already 23 years old. One area in which he really improved this past season was with his three-point shooting -- 22.2 percent in 2013-14 to 35.6 percent this past season. In addition, backup point guard Aaron Brooks will be a free agent this summer.
23. Portland Trail Blazers: R.J. Hunter, SG, Georgia State
Wesley Matthews will be an unrestricted free agent this summer and so will Arron Afflalo next summer. An outstanding shooter, Hunter may have had the best individual moment of the entire NCAA Tournament:
24. Cleveland Cavaliers: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, SF, Arizona
With excellent strength and athleticism and a high motor, Hollis-Jefferson is an elite defender although he needs some work on the offensive end.
25. Memphis Grizzlies: Rashad Vaughn, SG, UNLV
Vaughn led the Runnin' Rebels in scoring (17.8 PPG) although his season was cut short due to a knee injury on February 10th. One of the youngest players in this year's draft class, Vaughn is only 18 (turns 19 in August) and has generated plenty of buzz in draft workouts. Only the Timberwolves (5.0/G) made fewer three-pointers than the Grizzlies (5.2/G) last season.
26. San Antonio Spurs: Justin Anderson, SF, Virginia
Anderson (6-6, 222) is an outstanding athlete and defender that possesses good range on his shot. Anderson improved his three-point percentage to 45.2 percent this season after shooting just 30.3 and 29.4 percent in his first two seasons, respectively.
27. Los Angeles Lakers (via Houston Rockets): Terry Rozier, PG, Louisville
In 35 minutes per game last season, Rozier averaged 17.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game for Rick Pitino. With excellent quickness and athleticism, Rozier needs to be more consistent as a shooter as he shot only 30.6-percent from behind the arc last season after converting 37.1 percent as a freshman.
28. Boston Celtics (via Los Angeles Clippers): Chris McCullough, PF, Syracuse
Although he tore his ACL in January, if McCullough had waited to declare for the 2016 NBA Draft, he would have likely been a lottery pick based on his upside. At this point in the draft, he's worth the gamble.
29. Brooklyn Nets (via Atlanta Hawks): Jarell Martin, PF, LSU
Martin averaged 16.9 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game this season and possesses good size (6-10, 240) and athleticism. Considering Ben Simmons, a potential No. 1 pick in 2016, is heading to Baton Rouge this fall, it made sense for Martin to declare this year, but he's a solid value at the tail end of Round 1.
30. Golden State Warriors: Christian Wood, PF, UNLV
Still only 19 years old (turns 20 in September), Wood needs to get stronger, but there is plenty of upside at this point in the draft due to his athleticism and length. Wood averaged a double-double (15.7 points and 10.0 rebounds) with 2.7 blocks per game as a sophomore. Power forward Marreese Speights will be free agent after the 2015-16 season and David Lee is likely to play somewhere else this season.

By Nathan Jackson
May 25 2007
In the latest "defining a season", we review the recently completed 2006/7 season in which City made the playoffs again. It was a mixed year for the Imps, topping the table in October before relegation form consigned us to the playoffs yet again. We thumped teams one week before then losing the next, it was a truly frustrating season.
The season started with the new management team being appointed after Keith Alexander resigned. John Schofield and John Deehan certainly talked a good game and brought in some bright talent. Mark Stallard, Adie Moses, Ryan Semple, Jamie Forrester and Ryan Amoo all joined the Imps from various levels of football and the season started.
City got off to an excellent start, going unbeaten until mid-September. We were fortunate to get some wins, namely the extremely late showing at Torquay, but overall we were easily one of the best sides in the division, blowing teams away with our new style of football. The first defeat came at home to MK Dons on September 16th, it ended City's reign as the only team in the Football League not to have lost a game. 11 days later and City's record breaking run came to an end at 7 straight League away wins were ending by ex-Imp, Francis Green, scoring with one of Boston United's few shots on target against us.
Mid-October saw a trip to Barnet, City had been exceptionally lucky in the previous season. Barnet were 2-0 up after an hour in the 2005/6 season and looked to be heading for a comfortable victory despite the dominance of the Imps, 30 minutes later and City were taking hom the 3 points after scoring 3 late goals. This season's game was considerably less close, City running out 5-0 winners at Underhill, the joint biggest away win in the Division this season.
A week later and City ran riot again, smashing 7 past a hapless Rochdale side that were swept aside by the rampaging Imps. Then, one week later, something happened that hadn't happened for 8 years, the Imps went top of the League. A 1-0 victory at Swindon Town meant that the Imps were top of the pile for the first time since the 1997/8 season, a good omen for the Imps as that is the last season City won promotion.
City's stay lasted just a week and we never regained top spot. We did still have a great chance of automatic promotion when we visited Peterborough United however. A first half controlled by City eventually saw Ryan Amoo score his first goal in an Imps shirt. Ex-Imps Yeo and Gain combined to score with Peterborough's first shot on target before Amoo scored the winner with full time looming. Peterborough would have moved level on points with the Imps with a win, just a few weeks later they were 18 points behind City.
City continued on their merry way, not playing brilliantly but still getting the results that mattered and we moved within 2 points of the lead after beating Walsall in front of the Sky cameras in mid-February. The feel-good factor was well and truly going at Sincil Bank and automatic promotion seemed a formality.....that would be the final time City won an away game in the 2006/7 season.
The first major questions started to be asked in the week following that Walsall win as City were destroyed at home by an excellent Hereford side, then only drawing with lowly Accrington a few days later. The pack were catching up and it was now a 5 horse race for automatic promotion.
City however were well and truly falling off the pace, frustrating performances saw many Imps fans lose the faith of automatic promotion and even another win against Barnet in March couldn't change that mood. A week later and hopes of automatic promotion were near enough ended when Swindon gained revenge and won 3-2 at Sincil Bank, again in front of the Sky cameras.City failed to win again until the final game of the season when yet again, the Imps only needed to avoid defeat and hope that goal difference wouldn't be recovered by other sides to finish in the playoffs. It turns out that if City had lost by any scoreline then they would have finished 8th, it would have been the first time since the second week of the season since City had been outside of the Top 7. Thankfully though, City won and faced Bristol Rovers in the playoffs.
Bristol Rovers hadn't even troubled the top 7 until a very late run saw them make the end of season lottery. They didn't even enter the Top 7 at all until the penultimate weekend and City were confident of beating them. Jeff Hughes drew level in the first half after an early Disley opener and Bristol Rovers looked there for the taking. They scored again in the second half but even at 2-1 down going into the second leg, City were favourites to progress.
A 5-3 home defeat later and City's season ended on the back of a 7-4 aggregate defeat to a side that had never been above the Imps during the season.

The Albiceleste legend flashed an obscene gesture after his country went through to the World Cup last 16 on Tuesday
Argentina legend Diego Maradona lead the celebrations after Marcos Rojo's late winner, offering a crude double-finger salute to Nigeria fans.
Rojo put Argentina in the World Cup last 16 with a dramatic late volley on Tuesday, putting his country's poor start to the World Cup behind them in a 2-1 win.
Maradona took it all in from a seat in a luxury box, and was highly expressive throughout the match, vacillating between expressions of joy, sorrow, prayer and eventually, taunting.
The Argentine legend did not hold back after Rojo's goal, and social media captured the scene.
Argentina will take on France in a mouthwatering last-16 matchup on Saturday.

|William Murdoch
The Graphizer was created by Murdoch to solve a mystery in Season 4. Murdoch used this device to evaluate sound waves underwater – what we'd call sonar today – in Confederate Treasure, and we've seen it evolve to solve future cases, notably in Journey to the Centre of Toronto.

Murdoch transforms his Graphizer concept into a Seismometer (coined by David Milne-Home, 1841) based on the instrument that measure motion of the ground, including those of seismic waves generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other seismic sources, designed by Scottish physicist James David Forbes.

When somebody thing about DIY artificial grass installation normally anybody would think that it must be expensive. But is it really expensive? Let us have a deep look at what is really happening.
First of all, if we keep natural grass, there are many things a person has to do to keep the grass fresh and lively. We have to put in lots of recourses and of course with recourses, one has to spend a good amount of money. In today's world, nothing is free. We have to pay even water bills and you can to give your grass the hard water or that is contaminated it will definitely affect the health of the grass. Then we have to get fertilizers to keep the soil fertile or else the grass will lose its health and the green colour that is cooling to our eyes will gradually fade away. The other thing is that grass cannot grow in winter season because the soil is cold and seeds need heat to germinate. So for those who want grass of commercial reasons it is not a good idea. For example: if we talk about the football or baseball ground we can clearly see that due to the continuous practising of the players the grass will be damaged and you cannot regenerate the grass.
On the other hand, turf supply is available all the time. It does not matter what the age is anybody can easily maintain the synthetic grass. Even we can DIY artificial turf with no problem. We just have to follow the steps properly. Other than that there are not many technicalities in installing artificial grass. These good synthetic turf Sunshine Coast do not need water or any other natural recourse because these are not living thing. These grasses do not need even a tiny bit of sunlight. We can install them anywhere or on any surface, we wish for. They can withstand all the harsh climatic changes we have all around the year. They have a long life even if we are installing them in a commercial place. They are made to go through tough situations. So, if we see it, in the long run, we can clearly see that we do not have to spend our extra precious money in maintaining the grass. We can save our money and invest or spend on something else. We will have a beautiful garden in our backyard or in commercial places throughout the year in less money and less hard work.
So, we should install synthetic turf and save our time and money both and at the same time get our self beautiful grasses for our back or front yard and commercial places. For modern times we should have a modern solution and decorations.

The Aviva Community Fund Voting Opens Today!
Tuesday 24th October 2017 sees the opening of the annual, Aviva Community Fund. All local causes and charities have made the time to create their entry and have been approved by Aviva, but now it's down to you – our community to help us win the funding.
This is the first year that Educational Life CIC have entered and we would be very grateful for your support – every vote count and everyone gets ten votes. You can split these across causes or use them all on a worthy cause of your choice.
We have applied for £1000 to put towards our literacy and creativity based projects: Young Reporters and Story Time with Eleanora Fizzle-Wallop. This money would enable us to purchase necessary tools and equipment for the projects and ensure that the work is reaching you via the Educational Life magazine and website! The whole point of our projects is to boost literacy and multimedia skills for our young people, to give them a voice and to ensure that their imaginations are sparked by sharing stories.
To vote for us please follow this link
Voting opens today at 09:00 and closes 21st November 2017.
About the Aviva Community Fund
We believe good projects come in all shapes and sizes. So the best way to support a variety of good causes is to let both large and small projects share the funding.
The Aviva Community Fund will finance over 500 projects across four different fund levels and four categories, giving our awards to communities throughout the UK.
If your project gets enough votes and wows our judges, it will be in with a chance of receiving those much-needed funds.
£1,000 funding level
In the £1,000 funding level, we'll give the first 200 projects in any category to get 1,000 votes the funding they applied for.
After voting closes, the next 180 projects with the most votes across all categories will become finalists. Again, they'll get the funding they applied for.
In the broker and adviser awards, we guarantee to give the first 15 projects to reach 1,000 votes the funding they applied for. After voting closes, the next 15 projects with the most votes across all categories will become finalists and get the funding they applied for.
In all of these instances, the projects must pass our due diligence checks to receive the money. If they don't pass the checks, we'll have to turn down the application. If this happens, we'll give the funding to the project with the highest votes that didn't make the finals as long as they pass the checks.
Your votes matter – every single vote could help us secure the funding and have the equipment we need to make the projects as good as possible.
Thank you!

@thacookey Ah, enhancing is located just outside of Henesys. If you head North West from the town square (Pot and armor shop area) you'll come across a river with a portal below it and a portal above it on an elevator area. Go in the one above the river, that leads to the smithing and enhancing area.

Most people, especially younger people, don't know very many politicians. I asked a 36 year old recently what they thought of Andrew Little and they hadn't heard of him.
So Jacinda Ardern, having scooped up most of the paltry votes in Mt Albert, was promoted as the great game changer by media, and Labour had either fed them this message to repeat, or bought the message.
Ardern was supposed to be what Little wasn't, attractive to voters.
So, instead of committing herself to becoming established in her new electorate Ardern has taken to the early campaign road with Little, to help draw attention to her leader.
It's early days but it sounds like it hasn't been a raging success, yet.
Lloyd Burr: Jacinda who? Labour's new duo debuts at Victoria University
Labour's new leadership team had their first ever public debut on Thursday – and it revealed Jacinda Ardern maybe isn't as popular as everyone thinks.
Correction – Ardern isn't as popular as some in Labour and some political churnalists think.
Even in the left-wing safe zone of Victoria University's Kelburn campus, hardly any students knew who she was.
It was an eye opener for the new deputy leader, who's been touted time and time again as bringing something to the table that Mr Little apparently lacked: popularity.
But not on Thursday among the hundreds of students celebrating Orientation Week.
Newshub randomly asked 17 students if they knew who Andrew Little was. Nine knew he was leader, five knew he was a Labour MP and three had never heard of him.
We did the same with Jacinda Ardern: 10 people didn't know who she was, five knew she was deputy leader, one thought she was co-leader, and one knew she was an MP, but didn't know about her promotion.
That doesn't surprise me at all, especially in Wellington. Not many 20 year olds there are likely to read NZ Herald or Womens' Weekly.
"Look, I wouldn't expect everyone to know who I was," Ms Ardern said. "Part of my campaign opportunity is to make sure I go out and get amongst all of the student groups."
She calls it a 'campaign opportunity'? Is that the sort of language that will gell with young voters?
Andrew Little was happy with his level of recognition. "It's a very good sign and I'm very pleased," he said.
But don't get me wrong – from what I saw today, I believe the pair will be a force to be reckoned with when the campaign ramps up.
But Ms Ardern's lack of recognition with students will be a little worrying for Labour's hierarchy.
She's meant to be the party's shining star who can attract big crowds of young people, who overwhelm her with selfie requests.
She's meant to be Labour's golden girl who would instantly add popularity, charisma, humour and life to 'Brand Little'.
Did Labour and media feed each other some bull and they believed each other?
Things could change as we get closer to the election, but really, media actually believed their own hype and can't believe no one takes any notice of them any more, especially young people.
If she wants to be Labour's vote magnet Ardern may have to try and be more than a platitude parrot.

There are some obvious items I'm not going to mention in this post that you need to register for like a crib, changing table/dresser, clothing, socks, shoes, bottles, baby spoons/plates/bowls, a stroller... But the things I mention are some wonderful baby items that have made my life so much easier, throughout the newborn stage to now (at 17 months old).
Sleep Items:
Rock n' Play
This was such a God send! Toddler P. had issues with a constant runny nose when she was a newborn... so the main places she slept were with me in the bed. But when we finally heard about the rock n' play, she would sleep 4 hour stretches (or more) in this wonderful contraption. As a plus, it kept her head elevated so her nose bugged her less.
Aden & Anais Blankets
Toddler P. hated to be swaddled, but she always liked a light blanket on while in her Rock n' Play.
A Video Monitor
Prior to becoming a mom, I thought I could survive with just an audio monitor. Boy was I wrong! When we were just functioning with the audio monitor, it was awful. I had to leave Toddler P's door open a crack so I could check on her during nap times. But ever since we found a video monitor on sale, it has made our lives soooo much easier. The monitor we chose was the Summer Infant Video Monitor. But honestly, we chose this because it was on sale.
Playtime and Nursing:
The boppy made my life so much easier while breastfeeding a newborn!
Eddie Bauer Nursing Cover
Although you certainly don't need a cover to nurse your little one... if you want to use a cover, this is the best that I found. I tried at least 3 other nursing covers and they all were awkward and fit weird. This one I still use and love.
Pack n' Play
The pack n' play made my life so much easier (especially for needed bathroom breaks)! It was a place to safely set down baby and I have been able to use it for so many purposes as she has grown. I did find the other attachments pointless though (the changing attachment and the newborn area). Basically when she was too young to sit up, I could prop her up in the boppy in that and hand her a rattle.
Fisher-Price Swing
This swing was such a blessing for us. It plays music, swings several different directions, has animal noises, and has a lighted globe. This was so nice to have as another area to place the baby when I needed a break or to cook.
A Baby Carrier
Having a good baby carrier, like the Tula, is what helped calm Toddler P. during lone shopping trips. It's very rare that a baby will cry in one of the baby carriers, because they are being held so close to mommy. Also another plus with it, is your have your hands free! My favorite baby carrier is the Tula. It's expensive, but worth the investment! It is so much easier on your back and is high quality material.
A Play Yard
I found that this play yard, Summer Infant Play Yard, was fairly cheap when coupons were applied at Diapers.com. This gate has been such a life saver as Toddler P. started crawling and eventually walking. This was so nice to set-up in our family room and have a safe place for Toddler P. to play with her toys and move around while I cooked dinner.
Eating & Bath:
Pocket Bibs
I adore these bibs! They are so easy to clean and they catch the majority of the food that falls out of Toddler P's mouth! It makes clean-up so much easier!
High Chair Cover
The high chair/cart cover has and still continues to put my mind at ease when it comes to germs. There are so many times we go to the store or a restaurant and the seat I'm supposed to put my child in looks disgusting. Thanks to this cover, I can worry less. I still wipe it down, but knowing that this cover helps to protect my daughter from who knows what kind of germs, gives me peace of mind.
Summer Infant Bath Sling
The Summer Infant Bath Sling was the perfect thing to use during bath time. It wasn't uncomfortable for baby, and it kept her secure during her baths.
Please note, that I am in no way affiliated with any of the products mentioned here. I just really found these products helpful with a newborn.

What would we do without friends? We have Valentine's Day for lovers and Mother and Father's Day, respectively. But what about Best Friend Day? Having good friends can make all of the difference in your life. To have people you can cry with, laugh with, and watch Netflix marathons of bad CW TV shows with is the best feeling in the world. There are a lot of famous people who feel the same way as us. After all, famous people have feelings too. And these best friend quotes from them will make you hug your BFF super tight.
"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one." Author of The Chronicles of Narnia book series, C.S. Lewis knew a thing or two about friendship. As it happens, he was part of a circle of friends that included fellow writers such as Tolkien (Lord of the Rings). Lewis's friendship group were known as the Inklings and, for two decades, they met to discuss all things writing.

Engine Room's recent work includes a launch spot for Inspirada, an ambitious commercial/residential development in Las Vegas, produced for Robertson Wood Advertising and Stella Productions. Directed and shot by ER owner Dan Schmit, the spot conveys life in the finished community with the real challenge lying in the fact that the actual site is presently only in very early construction.
The shoot, which took place both on a green screen stage and on location, also incorporated ER's proprietary "Around the World Rig" camera system. The AWR was used to create a series of circular camera moves in and around the subject as she travels seamlessly through a wide range of Inspirada locales.
Working with project architects, the ER Digital Effects Unit based their work on actual CAD files when bringing the yet-to-be-built portions of the community to life, all with photo-real success. These rendered 3D backgrounds were then digitally composited with previously shot green screen elements into a fully realized vision of what the city will be like when completed around 2010.

The rollout of new postal codes which started in 2011, will be completed this year, says Minister of Public Utilities Robert Le Hunte.
Speaking at the launch of a postal code project hosted by the Penal/ Debe Regional Corporation at Paria Suites Hotel in La Romaine on Wednesday, Le Hunte said proper post systems were an integral part of communication.
He said new postal codes will come on stream throughout T&T by the end of 2019.

Hannan family merges PMP & IPMG
IPMG shareholders own collectively 100% of IPMG Group and include members of the Hannan family
PMP Limited announced on Friday it has entered into an agreement to merge ("the transaction") with IPMG Group (IPMG), a print and digital services provider, privately owned by members of the Hannan family.
IPMG shareholders own collectively 100% of IPMG Group and include Michael Hannan 25.6%, Lindsay Hannan 49.6%, and Adrian and Richard O'Connor 24.8%.
On completion of the transaction PMP will acquire 100% of IPMG and will issue new PMP shares to the IPMG shareholders who together will hold a maximum 37% interest in PMP (equating to a consideration value of approximately $119m). IPMG will be entitled to nominate two directors to the PMP Board. The transaction is subject to closing conditions including approval at a meeting of PMP shareholders scheduled for Friday 16 December.
IPMG proposed a merger with PMP way back in 2001 that valued IPMG at the time at $250m when the business was owned by the Hannan family and John B Fairfax.
PMP has appointed Grant Thornton to prepare an Independent Expert's Report on whether the transaction is fair and reasonable for PMP Shareholders.
IPMG is a long established print and digital services provider operating in Australia. IPMG operates through various businesses including Hannanprint, Inprint and Offset Alpine. On a pro-forma basis IPMG generated approximately $362m of revenues and $21m of normalised EBITDA for the 12 months ended 30 June 2016.
The most recent BRW Rich Families list had the Hannan Family at $410m, down from $613m in the previous year. However the family has cashed up big time in the past few years. Among the asset sales were newspapers and magazines to News Corp Australia 10 years ago for $500m, the Sydney Corporate Park site for $343m in 2013 and now its printing business for $119m of PMP stock.

LeBron looking forward to working with Manziel
NEW YORK (AP) — LeBron James speaks often of his love of football and willingness to help younger players.
It makes having a relationship with Johnny Manziel a perfect fit.
James says he texted the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner often this past season after Manziel's camp reached out for advice on how to handle intense scrutiny, something the four-time NBA MVP has been dealing with since high school. James was in contact with Manziel before and after the quarterback's Texas A&M games this fall.
James and Manziel will apparently have plenty more chances to interact in the future. Manziel is opting to be an early entrant to the NFL draft and is expected to be affiliated with LRMR, the management company operated by James' close friend, Maverick Carter.
Said James: "We're just happy we're able to be a friend of his."

Interesting: All the motorcycle-related articles I remember here have received a rather negative feedback. And I too have to ask: Has the designer of this ever been riding a motorcycle? I doubt that he would do so for long on this one.
He would however not design something like this again, had he tried at least one longer ride.

The killer is the player who is hosting the match. This means all the survivors are connected to the killers internet connection. Because of this latency plays a huge part in what you see happening on your screen vs what the killer sees on theirs. It looks to you like the killer missed because the latency lag between your connection to the host (killer) yet on the killers screen it would appear as a proper hit.1

You'll probably want to clean up any spillages and breakages straight away. To help the EQC or FMG assessor estimate the damage later on, you should try to:
After a natural disaster, you should do all that you can to safely make your home habitable and protect it from further damage.
Urgent or emergency repairs are things that need to be carried out to make your home safe, sanitary, secure and weather-tight.
For instance, you can get essential services like toilets and water systems repaired immediately, but you should keep, document or record everything the repairer replaces (and keep a copy of the bill).
Bear in mind that:

Temporary accommodation
If your home is currently uninhabitable due to an earthquake, flooding or high winds, please call us on 0800 366 466 to see how we can help support you and your family with temporary accommodation.
To decide what counts as uninhabitable, ask yourself:
This support falls under FMG's Household Contents policy to a maximum of $30,000.
Uninhabitable employee houses may also be covered if they are included in an employment contract.
After a major event, particularly post-earthquakes, the quality of your water supply can have a major impact on your ability to do things such as milk your herd and keep your land irrigated.
Watch for sand and silt
Sand and silt in the milking shed system and water tank can cause damage to the impellors, which will cause major issues to your shed and could prevent you from being able to milk.
Watch your pump for overload
Submersible pumps need water for cooling and your water levels may have dropped.
Visually inspect your irrigators as they may have moved. Check they are sitting in their tracks—irrigators are often set up with a fine tolerance of clearance to sheds, trees and fences.
If your irrigator has fallen over during an earthquake or in high winds you should:
Irrigation New Zealand has also issued helpful advice, check out their website for more information.

OKEECHOBEE — Could robots be dispatched to clean up algae?
Dyana Voss, of Marine Cleanup Initiative, visited the July 26 meeting of the Okeechobee County Commission meeting to invite the commissioners to a demonstration.
She said Lee County has already provided funding to build the robot.
"We will do a week-long trial in the Caloosahatchee River sometime in the next three weeks," she continued.
She said they plan to go to all seven counties eligible for grant funding to clean up algae blooms.
She added that the dates for the trial have not yet been set.
She said the robot uses the algae to make synthetic diesel.
Later in the meeting, the commissioners discussed the grant funding
a $3 million grant program for local governments to clean toxic algae blooms in the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee estuaries was announced by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection on Monday, July 23. Glades, Hendry, Lee, Martin, Okeechobee, Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties are eligible for grants.
Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Noah Valenstein said the money is to help local communities address immediate impacts, as efforts move forward on longer-term projects. He said grant money is intended to target cleanup in significantly impacted public areas, such as marinas and boat ramps.
County administrator Robbie Chartier said there aren't any areas of algae blooms in Okeechobee County to clean.
"It's very interesting to me how these dollars will be used in other counties," said. Mrs. Chartier. "There are no reports of algae in our area. I don't see a reason to apply."
She said there is algae in the lake, but that is not Okeechobee County's jurisdiction.
Commissioner David Hazellief said he would rather see money be used for septic-to-sewer conversion projects to reduce the nutrient load in runoff, which feeds the algae and causes it to grow rapidly into a "bloom."
Earlier this month, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration imagery based on data from satellite images estimated that 90 percent of Lake Okeechobee contained cyanobacteria, commonly known as "blue-green algae." This cyanobacteria was mostly in the water column, not on the surface of the lake. More recent images have shown the cyanobacteria in the lake has decreased, with the most recent image from July 18 showing cyanobacteria in about 30 percent of the lake. Dr. Karl Havens, Florida Sea Grant director, said it is likely that the cyanobacteria reproduced rapidly because of the high levels of phosphorus and nitrogen in the water due the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. Based on his decades of research on other lakes as well as his study of Lake Okeechobee, he theorized the cyanobacteria consumed all of the available nitrogen in the water and then started to die off because it was starving. He added that the original bloom could be replaced by growth of algae that has the ability to "fix" nitrogen from the air. Scientists are in a "wait and see" period for the big lake.
Dr. Havens stated the way to reduce harmful algal blooms is to clean up the watershed north of the lake, as well as the Calooshatchee and St. Lucie watersheds, to prevent excess nutrients from entering the lake and rivers. The excess nutrient load fuels the algal blooms.

Finma, the Swiss National Competent Authority, on Friday announced a 5 year further delay to the start of reporting under the Financial Markets Infrastructure Act (FMIA, also known as "Finfrag") to 1st January 2024. The announcement can be found here. It follows a 9 month delay of the deadline announced almost a year ago from 1st April 2018 to 1st January 2019 (see here).
The delay applies to "NFC-" entities (non financial counterparties) under the clearing threshold) based in Switzerland. Reporting for other types of entity has already started. The delay will likely impact many commodity traders who are in this category. Several reasons are stated for the delay, including possible upcoming changes and the advent of "Regtech" technology. REGIS-TR, one of the approved Trade Repositories for Finfrag, have made this announcement.

Oh glamour and luxury is revealed with this platinum-topped 14k yellow gold ring. Hugging the finger with an east west perspective, twenty-five old European cut diamonds, total weight of 2.53 carats (H-I color; VS2-SI1 clarity) form a virtual cornucopia of prismatic flash.
With an elongated oval matrix, the ring showcases three diamonds, a .35 carat diamond flanked on each side by one of .15 carats. Each diamond appears to be floating within an open work cartouche accented with mille graining.
A border of eighteen old European diamonds, each .10 carats follows the delicate concave curve of the top with a sparkling surround. A shank of 14k yellow gold completes the show piece.
Dating to the 1920's, it appears to the eye as a field of prismatic white shimmer. Delicate openings add refinement; slight height variations blend together for visual interest.

Ikaria Day Trips Greece Ikaria
Ikaria Tourist Attractions Day Trips Greece Greek Travel Guide
The island's capital and main port of Ayios Kirykos is a charming, laid back town flanked by thermal springs said to cure all manner of ills including rheumatism, arthritis and female infertility. The town has a plentiful supply of tavernas, ouzeris and kafeneia where you can enjoy good quality, reasonably priced fresh fish and standard Greek fare. If you're interested in the island's history visit the town's Archaeological Museum, near the hospital, which houses many local finds including a well preserved 500 BC gravestone depicting a couple with their four children.
There are radioactive springs in the town (take the steps up from Dolihi Tours Travel Agency near the police station) and daily taxi boats run north east along the coast to the popular spa resort of Therma. It's a pleasant 1.5 kilometre walk to the springs which consist of stone tubs, often occupied by elderly ailing Greeks. There's an entry fee for both the town and Therma springs so you might prefer to head to the natural shoreline hot springs at Therma Lefkadhos, three kilometres south west of the capital. The radioactive water at this derelict spa wells up into the shallows of the sea between giant volcanic rocks. Other springs around the island were so highly radioactive that they were closed down many years ago.
From Ayios Kirykos you can take a caique over to the island of Fourni which offers some good walking, beaches and fish tavernas. The island is home to the Aegean's biggest fishing fleet which sends much of its catch to Athens. If you're a shellfish fan look out for a taverna offering the local "astakos" Aegean lobster.
Evdilos, on the north coast, is the island's second port and home to the Hellenic Cultural Centre which offers courses to foreigners in all things Greek from language and culture to literature, cookery and dancing.
Hikers should head for the area known as Rahes, inland from the island's single major beach resort of Armenistis. Explore the somewhat idiosyncratic town of Khristos Rahes and its neighbouring villages on foot with the aid of two good local guides The Round of Rahes on Foot and the Road and Hiking Map of western Ikaria. Both are available at island book shops and tourist offices.
The locals of these villages are an oddity in so far as the older residents speak an ancient dialect and all inhabitants keep peculiar hours. They rise just before noon, sleep throughout most of the evening then start their shopping and social activities as midnight approaches. The design of many of the older pirate proof houses, with their low doors and lack of windows and chimneys, is also unique to the Rahes district.

As the postseason closes in, the New York Rangers are continuing to secure their foothold on the second position in the Eastern Conference. But even as their play has steadily improved, their achilles' heels continue to be the same: failure to control both creases, and failure to finish–or even shoot with proper conviction–on the power play.
In last night's dominant win over the Montreal Canadiens, they were excellent in both regards. This was exemplified, and sparked, by the play of Chris Kreider. If the Rangers are going to be a true threat to get back to the Stanley Cup Finals and change last year's ending, Kreider will have to continue to be a tone-setter.
When Kreider first exploded onto the scene as a rookie, his dazzling speed and downhill playing style opened up the offense and created space for his teammates. But as important as his contributions were, the Rangers weren't necessarily dependent on these aspects; Martin St. Louis was arguably their primary tone-setter on offense, taking the place of former captain Ryan Callahan as the guy who combined talent and intensity to get the team's gears going. There was also the resurgent three-zone play of Rick Nash, for whom 2015 was maybe his best year ever; unfortunately, he's missed a fair amount of time this season due to injury, though he's beginning to show signs of breaking out again. Ryan McDonagh is clearly a tone-setter, but he's also not a forward–and as such, his primary responsibilities lie in areas that don't allow him to be the prime mover on offense. And Derek Stepan, Derick Brassard and Mats Zuccarello are the team's primary playmakers, but even with Zucc's energizing style of play, none of them are capable of having the specific kind of impact Kreider can provide.
Kreider scored two goals last night in Montreal, both of which showcased the ways in which he can be most dangerous. His first goal was a beautiful finish on the power play, getting low to one-time a beautiful Brassard pass into the back of the net. Just a couple of minutes later, Kreider stole the puck at center ice and steamrolled up the left side; he was on top of goalie Mike Condon in the blink of an eye, and made a splendid move to put away an unassisted goal. And on Stepan's power play goal later in the game, it was Kreider's presence in front of the net that drew a defender's attention and cleared a lane for Stepan to gather a rebound and shovel it past Condon.
When Kreider is controlling the crease on offense–and helping to clear the crease on defense–the Rangers go back to being a balanced, explosive, three-zone threat. He isn't just fast; he's 6'3″ and 230 pounds, and capable of playing even bigger than his size. He's also got good hands and a strong wrist shot, and when he puts it all together, he can seem unstoppable. He's also a force-multiplier that leaves playmakers like Stepan, Brassard and Zuccarello–and Keith Yandle, who continues to increase his contributions on offense–room to operate.
Of course, Henrik Lundqvist continues to be the team's spiritual leader and miracle man–but as we've seen before, the Rangers at their best can't just be the Henrik Lundqvist show. With the playoffs around the corner, Chris Kreider is heating up at the right time. At his best, he's a locomotive on skates with good puck skills–and he's one of the biggest keys to the Rangers' success.

Scientist Cat is a member of the Fancy Feast Council and a major antagonist in the YouTube series, Politicats.
When Grey Cat inquired how Mittens 2.0's development was going, Scientist Cat informed him that they had perfected the joke function, though also that they were not done "de-Mormonizing" him yet.
After the Fancy Feast Council lost the presidential debate, Scientist Cat explained to Grey Cat, while being choked, how Schrodinger's Box would help them win the election.
Scientist Cat was among the council when they were met by a mysterious painting who told them of another world they could go to. Scientist Cat informed Grey Cat that the painting claimed to be controlling Mittens 2.0.
Scientist Cat was later left behind when the rest of the council set off for the other planet. Upon seeing that he had been abandoned, the Scientist Cat happily danced around and proclaimed "I'm free" before heading off to parts unknown.
