shots to the ribs then
a shot to the face. Viscera then slammed
Godfather back first
into the ring post when the action spilled to the
Back in the ring,
Midian worked over Godfather. The fans tried to get
the Godfather back in
control and scored a superkick but only got a two
count. The action got
a little slow with both men trying to gain
control of the match.
Midian used cheap shots to ground Godfather
including a couple of
eye gouges and a low blow with the ref
distracted. Midian
signalled for the end but missed with a top rope
move. Godfather then
clotheslined Midian and then hit a leg drop and
nearly got the three

just in time to stop
Godfather. Godfather then hit the Ho Train when

helped out the Godfather and then scored the three
count to win the
Fabulous Moolah (w/Mae
Young) defeated Ivory to win the WWF Womens Title
Ivory instantly tried
to win the match by ripping into Moolah. Moolah
then fought back with
some hair pulling and hair tossing. Vintage
Moolah attack. Moolah
went up top but missed off the top as Mae Young
got on the apron.
Ivory then clocked Mae
Young with a right hand. Ivory then dropkicked
Mae Young on the
outside. Ivory then took out Mae once again but that
allowed Moolah to
score the decisive finisher on Ivory and scored the
three count to win the
Women's Title!
The Holly Cousins
defeated The New Age Outlaws via disqualification
Hardcore and Gunn
officialy started it off in the ring with Gunn taking
control early on. Road
Dogg dropped a shake rattle n roll kneedrop on
Road Dogg desperately
needed to tag Gunn in and he helped his cause by
sticking his foot up
when Hardcore tried a top rope move. Hardcore went
up once again but Road
Dogg caught him up top and superplexed him
straight down to the
mat. Both men tried to wake up and Road Dogg was
the first to make the
tag in and Gunn came in and took it to the
Hollys. When Road Dogg
had the ref distracted on accident, Holly
brought a chair in,
but Gunn stole it and used it and the ref saw that
and awarded the Hollys
the match by DQ.
Chyna pinned Jeff
Jarrett (w/Miss Kitty) to win the Intercontinental
All kinds of weapons
you'd find at Target or Wal-Mart were lying around
the ring. Chyna
slammed Double J cranium first across a trash can.
Chyna continued to
take it to Double J with all kinds of weapons.
Jarrett moved out of
the way when Chyna tried a splash through a table
and then scored a near
Jarrett laid into
Chyna with a huge trash can shot. A fish was spotted
and Jarrett made Chyna
flat as a flounder. Miss Kitty and Double J were
both sent into the
ring by Chyna and Chyna went for Kitty which allowed
Jarrett to take the
knee out then slap on the figure four on Chyna.
Chyna tried to escape
desperately. Chyna was able to reach the ropes
and break the hold.
Chyna went for the
Pedigree, but Jarrett reversed it. Miss Kitty then
gave Jarrett the IC
Title and he clocked Chyna and Jarrett covered
Chyna for the three
count and the win.
Another ref came down
and ruled that since the IC Title is not a
household object, the
match must be restarted...Jarrett slapped on a
figure four on
TEddie then Chyna grabbed a guitar and smashed it over
Jarrett. Chyna covered
Jarrett for the three count and the win!...but
since when is a guitar
a household object?
The Rock pinned The
British Bulldog
Bulldog landed a chair
shot to the head of the Rock then tried to slam
Rock into the ring
steps but Rock reversed that and Bulldog went into
the steps. Bulldog
went downstairs and then hit his trademark vertical
suplex. Bulldog then
tried to squeeze the life out of the Rock with a
reverse chinlock.
After Rock was able to come back he back body dropped
Bulldog straight on
the back of his head and got a two count. Bulldog
then got hung up in
the ropes and Rock landed a DDT, but once again
only got a two count.
Bulldog then countered
out of the corner and hit patented powerslam and
went for the cover but
Rock got a foot on the ropes. Rock then
countered Bulldog and
landed a Rock Bottom. Then the fans rose to their
feet as Rock laid the
smacketh down with a People's Elbow followed by
the cover and the win.
Finals of the Terri
The Hardys defeated
Edge & Christian in a Ladder Match to win Terri
Runnels & 100,000
You want to talk about
a great tag match, right here you got one.
Hardys went for the
double teaming early on. Jeff was then sent head
first to the ladder
which was on the outside. The ladder was sent into
the ring. Edge tried
to climb up but was taken down by Matt. Jeff was
then squashed in the
ladder and was dropkicked hard into the ladder.
From the ladder,
Christian hit a Reverse DDT on Jeff! Matt tried to
climb up the ladder
but was powerbombed by Edge from way downtown.
Edge went up the
ladder but Jeff dropkicked him down. Edge was on the
ladder and Jeff hit a
Sentaun Splash from way up top! Edge was knocked
to the outside and
Jeff landed a moonsault onto Christian. Edge brought
a second ladder into
the ring and shoved it into the gut of Matt. Jeff
then smashed Edge with
the other ladder. A crunching sound was the
sound of choice in
this match as all four bodies were crunched and
crashed on the
ladders. Christian then cross body blocked Matt and Jeff
onto the ladders. Matt
was then sandwiched in the ladder and Edge went
for ten shots to the
head. Christian then took it to Jeff with no care
for his body in mind.
Jeff then hit a
neckbreaker on Christian. Both ladders were set up and
Edge hit a Downward
Spiral off the ladder and he hurt himself as well.
Edge was the first one
up and he landed a neckbreaker from way up top
on Jeff!!! Matt then
tried to climb up top as well as Christian. A
hiptoss was then
executed from up top. All four were in obvious pain
from the beating
they've all taken. Jeff then used the ladder as a
catapult on
Christian's face and then smacked him on the way back. All
four men then started
to climb up top at the same time. Right on cue,
all four men crashed
to the canvas! Needless to say the crowd was much
appreciative of the
action going on.
Both ladders were set
up again and Edge went for the money once again
and Jeff went up top
and took both Edge and Christian down from the
ladder and climbed up
top and grabbed the money to win the tournament,
money, Terri, etc...
In the back, the Hardys took their loot including
Terri and the money.
We took a look at
Mankind looking around for The Rock on Heat. Mick
found Rock in the
bathroom and he...well he smelt what the Rock was
cooking. Val Venis
then attacked Mankind while he was talking to The
The Rock came out and
said he wanted the winner of the main event. He
said when the dust is
settled the people's champ will be the World
Champ. Ross confirmed
that he will fight the winner right here tonight.
Triple H then came to
the ring and attacked Rock with a sledgehammer.
Rock was out cold,
possibly cancelling Rock's short lived title shot
possibility. The
EMT's then came and hauled
off The Rock.
Before coming out to
the ring to fight Val Venis, Mankind told Rock,
who was on his way to
the hospital, he would take care of Triple H for
him tonight.
Val Venis pinned
Lawler repeatedly made
some funny jokes about Mankind's book during
this match-up. Mankind
then went for the big valbowski itself and went
for Socko and instead
pulled out Rocko but didn't get to use it on Val
as Val attacked him
with repeated fists.
To the outside they
went as Mick was sent around the guardrails around
the ring. Val then
belly to belly suplexed Mankind back of the head
first into a steel
chair. Mankind's head was against sent into steel,
this time the steel
ringpost. Val sent Mick back into the ring picked
up another steel
chair. The ref got in the way and stopped Val allowing
Mick to land some
shots in, but Venis landed a Russian Legsweep into
the chair. Venis
scored a two count.
Venis then focused his
attack on the back of the head using his elbows
and fist shots. Venis
continued to work over Mankind's head for a good
5 minutes. Venis went
for the Money Shot, but Mankind moved out of the
way and came to life
and hit a Double Arm DDT and covered Val but only
got a two count.
Mankind then slapped on Socko and Venis went for Rocko
and Venis fell on top
of Mankind and scored the three count and won!
What an upset.
Mankind then picked up
both socks and gained Rocko back from Val and
chased Val off. Ross
informed us that Rock has refused to go to the
X-Pac defeated Kane,
Faarooq & Bradshaw in a 4 Corner Elimination Match
The Acolytes double
teamed The Big Red Machine then Bradshaw and Kane
went at it. Bradshaw
tagged in Faarooq who tried to go after Kane.
Faarooq tagged in
X-Pac and it was Kane vs. X-Pac. Kane then
clotheslined X-Pac and
Kane tagged in Bradshaw. Faarooq was tagged in
by X-Pac and the
Acolytes went at each other.
Bradshaw delivered the
Clothesline from hell on X-Pac, who was tagged
in but the ref was
distracted and Bradshaw didn't eliminate X-Pac.
X-Pac hit the X-Factor
on Faarooq. More tags were made resulting in
little in the possible
elimination category. X-Pac went to the outside
and was sent head
first into the ring steps by Bradshaw. Bradshaw then
took it to X-pac in
the ring until Kane delivered a big boot to
Bradshaw and X-Pac
nearly eliminated Bradshaw.
Kane prevented Faarooq
from pinning X-Pac after landing a nice
powerslam. Bradshaw
came in and slapped on a huge bear hug on X-Pac
right in the middle of
the ring. X-Pac then planted Bradshaw with a
Tornado DDT after
breaking out of the bear hug. Kane then chokeslammed
Bradshaw and covered
him and eliminated Bradshaw. X-Pac then hit a
Spinning Heel Kick
from up top on Kane and eliminated Kane with a pin!
Kane walked off in
X-Pac then DDT'ed
Faarooq on the padding on the outside. Faarooq then
hit a spinebuster on
X-Pac but fought back and hit the X-Factor and
covered Faarooq for

WWF World Champion
Triple H pinned Stone Cold Steve Austin
Triple H walked to the
ring with his sledgehammer in hand. Vince
McMahon then came to
the ringside area and tried to take the hammer
away from Triple H,
but Triple H instead smacked Vince with it.
Austin then ran
down from the ring and
seized the oppuotunity, whipping Triple H around the
Austin dragged Triple H
around the arena and then used someone's
crutch on Triple H.
They came closer to
the ringside area and
Austin took Triple H into the
Austin continued to beat him
down and took him back into the
stands and suplexed
Triple H onto the concrete somewhere in the stands.
It quickly became a
hardcore style match, something
Austin likes.
Austin went for a piledriver
onto the hard floor but Triple H turned that
into a backbody drop
Austin smacked hard. Triple H
went for a Pedigree,
Austin countered. Austin then
catapulted Triple H into the ref and both
went over the railing
and onto the outside area. Finally, the match
went into the ring as
the ref was out cold.
Triple H came back and
stomped down on
Austin and tried to choke him
Out of nowhere,
Austin hit a Stunner on
Triple H! However, the ref was still
out cold and
Austin went to check on him.
Austin tried to bring him
into the ring and
Triple H attacked
Austin and the ref was shoved
off the
apron. Triple H hit a
pedigree on
Austin and a new ref came in
and counted
for the
kicked out.
Over the top Triple H
went as the first ref was taken to the back. Triple H was
busted wide open.
Austin then slammed Triple H
into the announcer's table to
further open up Triple
H's head.
To the outside they
went again and Triple H went shoulder first into the
ring steps. The fans
chanted "Stone Cold" as Ross was two feet away
from delivering a
cheap shot to Triple H. Triple H then sent
Austin into the ring
bell out of
desperation and ding-donged him some more. To

Austin then avoided a knee
drop but couldn't avoid a choplock from Triple H
right to the knee.
Triple H then wrapped
Austin's knee hard around the
Triple H continued to
try to injure
Austin. Triple H then tried
to slow things
down and wear
Austin down. Austin then came
back to life, but Triple H kept
him down and got about
5 near falls out of frustration. A steel chair
then came into play
and took the chair from Triple H and tried to take Triple
head off with the
chair, but Triple H landed a clothesline knocking
down. Triple H went up
top but
Austin met him and landed a
superplex from
way up top.
Austin went for a cover, but
only got a two count.
Austin then picked up the
chair and smacked Triple H in the skull and took
the chair to the knee
of Triple H repeatedly just like Triple H did at
Summerslam. Triple H
then low blowed Austin and The Rock came to the ring
with a sledgehammer!
Rock then tried to hit Triple H but missed and smacked
Austin. Triple H then
Pedigreed Rock and then covered Austin and got the
three count to retain
the World Title.
Austin then chased after
Triple H to the back. The cameras followed the
action and
Austin attacked Triple H.
Chyna came into play and helped Triple H
escape from
Austin as we left the air.
Straight Shooting
By Fritz Capp (afcapp)
October 17, 1999
A lot of discussion
lately has centered on just how Vince Russo and
company are going to
affect WCW. Drastically is all I can think of.
Let's go back a few
years when Hall and Nash made their way from the
WWF to WCW. It started
what could arguably be one of the hottest angles
in pro wrestling in
the 90's. All everyone did back then was talk about
what would happen next
with The Outsiders and later the NWO. Vince
Russo and company have
the ability to make this happen again.
But what I have not
been able to understand (and maybe they are going
to change this also)
is the way that WCW has allowed fans the
opportunity to either
view or tape their product at a later time thus
allowing the fans to
be able to switch over to the the WWF broadcast
with no fear of
missing anything that WCW was putting on that night's
Nitro show.
I remember that the
WWF had a similar policy but that was abandoned a
long time ago. The WWF
shows to the full version of RAW once, if you
miss it...too bad.
It may be in WCW's
best interest to the follow suit now that there is
interest in what is
going to the happen in the promotion again.
While I have said many
times in to the past that I believe that both
promotions are hurting
themselves as far as viewership is concerned by
running against each
other, as long as they are going for to the
throat, from a
business point of view, it would only make sense that
WCW only showed
Nitro's full version once, thus making the fans (for
the most part) choose
between to the two shows as the WWF did.
The bottom line is if
you have a solid product the fans are going to
the watch.
Ya know....I am really
starting to the wonder about to the WWF as far
as storylines are
concerned. They have Paul Wight using a "terminal
cancer" angle to help
put him over, Mark Henry and his on-going quest
for sexual normalcy, a
battered woman's angle with Chaz, Jarrett and
his constant abuse of
woman and so on and so on.
I remember when
everyone was up in arms about To the Undertaker's
angles. At least they
were semi-cartoonish. What to the WWF is now
doing not only crosses
to the line of decency, it goes about 3 miles
past it like it was
never there.
I have liked to the
WWF to the past year and a half, that is no secret.
To the DX storylines,
Austin/McMahon, to the emergence of To the Rock,
Mick finally getting
to the recognition he deserves, it has all been
pretty entertaining to
But to then see
Marrianna come out all bruised just turned my stomach.
While it was shown
that she was setting Chaz up and he never hit her,
does that make the
angle any less offensive? Sorry, I'm just not into
woman being portrayed
as being beaten.
I'm also not into
incest, which is exactly how the opening of Mark
Henry's latest angle
started out. I have to give it to the Mark, he
goes with whatever the
bookers tell him, but where do you draw to the
As far as Wight and
his angle I think it is a disgusting way to try to
get someone babyface
attention. If they cannot get Paul over any other
way than this then
maybe they should release him and save themselves a
few bucks. I have lost
a few members of my family to cancer and I just
do not find it
amusing, entertaining and I do not see where this could
possibly have anything
to do with wrestling. Oh I'm sorry, Vince
doesn't like that word
anymore, does he?
I would like to the
suggest to everyone who read my last column and
wrote me moronic
responses to it that they go out and take a course in
remedial reading and
comprehension. I have gone over my part about
GLAAD about 20 times
and I have yet to the see where I was bashing
gays. All I see is
where I was bashing the gay special interest group
GLADD for sticking
their nose where it doesn't belong. I pointed out
many instances where
there were "less then flattering" gay angles that
they never opened
their mouth about but since wrestling is at an all
time high they decided
that they should put their name into the fray of
all the coat tail
riders that have jumped on wrestling for some cheap
I have come down on to
the stupid religious groups who have done it and
I will continue to the
trash any organization who tries to the
accomplish any form of
censorship in pro wrestling just to the get
their name in to the
paper. I do not care who they are affiliated with,
the censorship in
wrestling is done by its fans, who either take to or
turn away from any
angle. If anyone thinks different they are entitled
to the their opinion
but I'm not going to change mine to be politically
I also received a few
e-mails about to the Droz piece I did telling me
I was just using it as
an opportunity to the trash a certain reporter.
WRONG! I cannot help
it that this person has to the standards of a
slug. If I found this
situation with any other name on it I would have
said to the same
thing. Just because someone has been around to the
Internet for a few
years and has kissed a lot of ass on to the way to
the top does not make
him immune to the criticism for his actions. It
also does not make him
unaccountable for them. If you people choose to
support someone like
this then by all means go ahead, I do not lose one
iota of sleep over it.
You have every right to stand behind a person
who selfishly and for
personal reasons that has nothing to the do with
wrestling denies his
readers a chance to the send get well wishes to
the wrestler who just
had a major in-ring accident by not posting to
the address because of
who was affiliated with to the people who
started to the effort
but by his own writings made to the time to the
try and discredit to
the effort.
I have been e-mailed
the corporate line from 1wrestling as to the why
the address was not
printed. While they asked for the e-mail not to the
be printed I will tell
you that the reason was to the biggest crock I
have ever read. The
Gordon Solie incident was blamed as 1wrestling gave
out an e-mail address
to the send wishes to him and Mr. Solie did not
appreciate that very
much. The funny thing is they were asked to post
the Droz address days
before this incident even happened. You may now
form your own
conclusions, as you can check timelines on the PWBTS 2000
site as to when these
incidents happened.
Oh yeah, when people
put "NOT FOR PUBLICATION" in the subject box that
does mean not to the
publish the e-mail letter in whole, correct? It
doesn't mean content
also, does it?...lol
There is still a lot
of news going around about Taz and his status in
ECW. I think this way
says it best, Taz is under contract with ECW,
even though he is
signed now with to the WWF. The honorable thing to
the do is to the honor
the contract, do what is required and then go
on. If that means
jobbing then job. If that means helping the promotion
who helped you build
yourself up to the a status that made a larger
promotion desire your
services then help them because if it wasn't for
them you would still
be wrestling indies.
All in all I think it
is time that wrestlers who have binding contracts
to the honor them and
stop bitching. Taz (if used properly) will be a
force in to the WWF.
Jobbing to the a few people in ECW will not hurt
that in the least.

This post is part of the series SalesPage Financial Version 5.1:
It's not difficult to understand why the Reports module has long been one of the most popular tools in SalesPage Financial. It's always been simple to request specific reports, either one time or on a schedule you set and forget. And it's easy to choose the scope of the data you want to include in each report, too. SalesPage reports have consistently delivered the right data, in the right format, to the right people, at the right time. SalesPage Financial Enterprise Version 5.1 makes working with and managing reports even easier. Here's a quick look at what's new.
A simplified request process
When you request a report, you can now use the same process, regardless of whether you want to create a one-time report or a recurring, scheduled one.
Broader template support
Version 5.1 provides native support for making report templates created with SAP Crystal Reports and Eclipse BIRT available in SalesPage; earlier versions supported only Crystal Reports templates. The changes made to support BIRT templates mean that it's now even easier to extend the module to support report templates created with other tools, too.
Integrated template management
In earlier versions of the SalesPage Reports module, those who managed report templates used a separate tool,—the SalesPage Report Administrator—to define the templates available in SalesPage and determine how those templates would be presented to report requesters. But in Version 5.1, enhanced and simplified SalesPage report administration tools are available in the SalesPage application itself. It's now much easier and faster to test new report templates and make them available in SalesPage.
Streamlined scheduling and execution
The Version 5.1 Reports module has been reworked to use SalesPage Express, the scheduling engine used by other queued and scheduled operations in SalesPage applications. In earlier versions, the Reports module used its own scheduling mechanisms and required additional processes to support report creation and maintenance. The streamlined new module is much more tightly integrated with core SalesPage functionality—in short, it's much quicker to set up and much simpler to troubleshoot and manage.
The SalesPage Financial Version 5.1 Reports module makes it easier than ever before to get the right data to the right people at the right time. This new version includes many other new features and enhancements, too. Click here to request Release Notes for the new version.

Grab your camera for wildlife safaris in and around San Joaquin County
In recent years, I have come to appreciate the excellent photography of a handful of locals, most notably Chuck Higgs, a former Record advertising manager and recently retired from management of another daily newspaper group. On Facebook, I have sent more "outstanding photo!" comments to Chuck for his nature photography than anyone else. Since he travels to lovely local and nearby destinations, his suggestions make for fine travel exploration. And, whether you plan to take telephoto pictures, or just watch wildlife and enjoy spectacular scenery, these destinations should make your list (all photos courtesy Chuck Higgs).
Over lunch recently, Chuck explained, "Timing is everything with these areas. For the ducks, geese and other water fowl, November through March is ideal. Once the water starts to dry up, the birds leave. Some area like the Yolo Bypass keep some areas flooded and those attract the birds.
Photography equipment depends on your purpose. A good DSLR camera and a long lens is ideal for shots like these. Cell phones can be used but I don't think the pictures will be to your liking. If you are birdwatching, a scope or binoculars are a must. Check with the destination agency; often there is a club or someone that is familiar with the birds and can point them out to you".
Chuck also recommends taking water, snacks and appropriate clothing. His favorite destinations include:
Lodi Lake: Chuck notes, "Something is always happening there year round. Best to take the trail east of the lake; follow it all the way along the river to Pig's Lake. I have found herons, egrets, turtles, river otters and ducks there. Along the trail I have spotted hummingbirds, deer and a raccoon. I once spotted a fox but only for a few seconds".
Looking beyond the county, Higgs recommends the South San Joaquin Valley, the California coast and Sacramento Valley:
Merced National Wildlife Reserve: Notes Higgs, "Down Hwy 99 to Merced and then head west. Best time to visit the preserve is November through March to find 30,000 to 40,000 Snow and Ross' Geese spending their time there. If you are patient enough you can see or photograph thousands of these geese taking to the air at one time".
San Luis Preserve: Chuck adds, "The preserve offers an auto tour through the park; November through March is the ideal time to see the various water birds that spend the winter at the preserve. San Luis also has a fenced area that is the home to a herd of majestic Tule Elk".
Colusa National Wildlife Preserve: Says Higgs, "It's about 1.5 hours north of Sacramento on Interstate 5, offering an auto tour – the best part of Colusa is a viewing deck that sits on one of the ponds. It's a great place to watch ducks and geese but also provides a great opportunity for photographer to capture Snow and Ross' geese and White-fronted geese landing nearby. Again, being patient, you'll witness thousands of geese taking off all at once. Usually a loud noise or a hawk flying over will cause them to fly.
Just north on I-5, also find Sacramento National Wildlife Preserve; the preserve offers a small museum and gift store. An auto tour through the park, November through March, is again the ideal times to see many of the birds".
Moss Landing. Higgs exudes, "This is a great place to watch and photograph otters. Moss Landing is about 20 miles north of Monterey. It's easier to see and photograph the wildlife since Moss Landing is more of a working area than a tourist destination. Taking the road off Hwy 1 and going around the beach you'll be able to see a raft of male sea otters sleeping in the middle of the bay and watch pelicans dive for food. You can usually see otters diving for and then eating their catch; with luck you can find a mother sea otter and her pup. Most of the sea otters in this area are males (most of the females stay farther south, near Big Sur). You can also catch a whale watching tour out of Moss Landing. Another interesting ride is the Elkhorn Slough boat that takes you up the slough. Both whale watching and the Elkhorn Slough boat have people on board that are knowledgeable about local wildlife".
Higgs recently visited the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, adding, "Just west of the I-80 bypass bridge, take the Chiles Road exit. Go under the freeway and up on the levee and then down to a series of roads. There is a lot of water there and find egrets, herons, seagulls and ducks. They keep several areas flooded so a lot of water birds stay around. I've also noticed that they offer bat tours".
Bodega Bay: Higgs notes "it's a great place if you want to go to the ocean. I've only found birds and sea lions in that area. It's beautiful scenery". If time, explore the town and nearby Bodega for locations in the iconic Hitchcock film, "The Birds".
Take Chuck's advice; grab your camera, binoculars and get traveling!

Man Arrested; Charged with Bias-related Assault
McLean Police District – A 35-year-old McLean man is under arrest today, after being charged with a bias-related attack in which he allegedly bit the victim's face. An investigation by the Tysons Urban Team (TUT), led to the arrest of Robin McGreer after a warrant was issued for bias-related malicious bodily injury.
On November 27, 2016, officers responded to a Tysons Corner Center parking lot for a fight. When officers arrived they found a 31-year-old man suffering from a significant facial wound. The subsequent investigation revealed McGreer approached the man, started a conversation, and allegedly threatened him using racial insults. An altercation occurred where McGreer allegedly bit the victim in the face and left the scene before officers arrived. The victim was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Come along and meet your prospective candidates and find out what they have to say about housing in Southwark.
Wednesday | 18th April 2018 | 7-9pm | Free Entry
Bells Gardens
Community Centre
19 Buller Close, London
SGTO Housing Manifesto
We need genuine mixed communities with home for low income workers who are a key part of sustaining the infrastructure of London. As part of supporting people in these essential jobs and services we need to build housing at Council level rents.
Less security of tenure means more social cleansing, with people on average and low incomes priced out. Often this happens under the bogus guise of estate regeneration.
We call for the suspension of estate demolition programmes, the right to a residents' ballot before any large-scale redevelopment, and investment in new and existing council housing, without strings attached.
Local councils are currently prevented from investing in the homes we need by accountancy procedures that stop them using all the money from Right to Buy sales and from rents, or from borrowing at prudential rates. Council housing is not subsidised. Allow councils the freedom to invest in building and maintaining the homes we need.
The misuse of public land by private developers show we need more democratic control over planning decisions, not less as this government intends. New housing developments should reflect local housing need.
Housing decisions and services work better when they're accountable to local people. Genuine consultation and participation for tenant and resident organisations, and a binding resident ballot before any major estate redevelopment.
The Council has a statutory duty to consult its secure tenants in matters of housing management. We demand that the Council work in conjunction with the Tenants Movement in Southwark to ensure proper involvement in the decision making process.
We need housing rights for all, particularly for the homeless, Gypsies and Travellers, whose rights are attacked under the Act. We support the United Nations Declaration of Universal Human Rights which enshrines the right to adequate housing, including protection from arbitrary eviction, demolition and interference, freedom of movement, security of tenure and equal and non-discriminatory access to adequate housing.
We call for a new definition of affordable housing based on council level rents.
Housing Associations (HAs) were set up to provide truly affordable, rented homes, rooted in local communities. They have moved a long way from these founding principles. Mega-mergers, the oversupply of market homes and lack of transparency mean that big HAs can no longer be considered social landlords and should be brought back under proper democratic control, accountable to their residents, not Bankers.
Government funding for necessary fire safety improvement works.
Reinstate and enforce independent fire safety inspection and building regulation
Invest in council housing – lift the artificial debt burden and allow councils to develop secure homes at social rent.n
Repeal the Housing and Planning Act 2016.
Housing should not be classed as 'Affordable' if two-thirds of local households in the area cannot afford it.
Councils' housing plans and targets must match local needs for really affordable homes for rent.
Suspend the Right to Buy, Bed room tax, Universal Tax credits until a fair system a can be developed.
Public land used for housing to provide 100 per cent publicly- owned, really-affordable homes.
to fight for decent housing for all at cost.
We will work with other housing sectors, leaseholders, renters, owners, Housing Association tenants etc. to build a broad housing movement to fight for decent housing for all at cost.
Public land used for housing to provide 100 per cent publicly- owned, really-affordable homes.
to fight for decent housing for all at cost.
The Council should oppose all foreign off site sales and properties held empty for speculation and investment purposes.st.
All developments/regenerations must be in the interest of tenants, residents and people in the area.
All residents and businesses must have full Right to Return with no loss of security of tenure or housing standards.
All redevelopments or regenerations must be subject to local legally binding ballots and cannot proceed without them.

In September 2016, the City of Newton took ownership of the historic Hotel Maytag Building on the community's Courthouse Square. Though called Hotel Maytag, this five story structure has not served as a hotel for decades. Instead, it has commercial entities including a café' and movie theatre, on the lower floors and apartments on the upper floors. The Hotel Maytag has a rich history. It was built in 1926 by F.L Maytag, the founder of the global appliance manufacturer. It was reported to be the first hotel west of the Mississippi River to have air conditioning and is on the Historic Register. Today, we have totally renovated the interior and exterior to conform to national historic restoration standards for 45 affordable and market rate one and two bedroom apartments and restoration of the movie theatre and café. The most extraordinary feature of the "hotel" is the 3500 square foot ballroom which is now an event center for the surrounding towns and counties.

October 9, 1997, Section E, Page 5Buy Reprints
It wasn't that long ago that the notion of Kevin Bacon, the clean-cut, all-American star of ''Footloose,'' portraying a sleazy early-60's Cleveland disk jockey, would have seemed utterly incongruous. But this gifted young character actor with his chiseled, vulpine features and sneaky, too-easy grin has proved himself a master impersonator of smoothies and shifty-eyed hustlers. In ''Telling Lies in America,'' Mr. Bacon's role as Billy Magic, a hepcat Top 40 disk jockey eluding payola investigators as he bounces from city to city, is one of the juciest of his career. When Billy isn't snapping his fingers and jive-talking in a hybrid lingo of Wolfman Jack and Alan Freed inside the cramped studios of radio station WHK, he is gliding around Cleveland in a bright red Cadillac convertible, promoting sock hops and smirking like a lowlife cock of the walk.
''Telling Lies in America,'' directed by Guy Ferland from a screenplay by Joe Eszterhas (the same top-dollar screenwriter who gave us ''Basic Instinct'' and ''Showgirls''), is the story of Billy's affectionate but corrupt mentoring of Karchy Jonas (Brad Renfro), a Hungarian-born teen-ager who recently immigrated to the United States with his father and is awaiting naturalization. A high-school pariah who is picked on for his foreignness and overall lack of cool, Karchy lands a high-paying job as Billy's studio assistant after the disk jockey recognizes him as a kindred tainted soul. Desperate for status, Karchy has forged the signatures of a bunch of his fellow students on postcards mailed to Billy as part of a contest naming a local student to the ''High School Hall of Fame.'' Even though the forgeries are obvious, Karchy refuses to admit to them, which in Billy's eyes makes the boy an ideally malleable and mendacious assistant. At the same time, Billy dazzles Karchy by introducing him to filet mignon, letting him drive his car, buying him a prostitute so he can lose his virginity, and paying him what seems like a princely salary of $100 a week.
The movie, which the New York Film Festival is showing at 6 P.M. today and Saturday in Alice Tully Hall, proves that Mr. Eszterhas still possesses sharp dramatic instincts despite such creative debacles as ''Jade'' and ''Showgirls.'' In the semi-autobiographical story, which borrows elements from ''America, America'' and ''Quiz Show,'' Mr. Eszterhas looks back on his Hungarian immigrant youth in Cleveland. The movie is loaded with heart and the feel for local color and period detail that can only come out of a personal reminiscence.
''Telling Lies in America'' starts out small, then widens as it goes along. In the saddest of its early vignettes, Karchy wins his first date with Diney Majeski (Calista Flockhart), his co-worker in a poultry and egg shop, and laces her milkshake with Spanish fly that a classmate has provided. Instead of turning Diney into an insatiable sex fiend, it produces excruciating cramps and makes her sick to her stomach. This incident is one of several pathetically ill-advised pranks pulled by Karchy that nearly get him expelled from his Roman Catholic boys' school.
As the moral concerns of the film widen to embrace the early 60's payola scandals and their potentially disastrous impact on Karchy's and his father's dreams of American citizenship, the movie sacrifices some of its acute care for nuance. But it never fumbles its big theme: a morally flexible inquiry into the relationship of truth and lies to success in America. Unlike ''Quiz Show,'' which is set roughly in the same period, it makes a case for selective dishonesty, for choosing which lies are worth telling in order to protect more important issues, and which are not.
If the movie belongs to Mr. Bacon, it has some striking supporting performances. Mr. Renfro is a bit too vocally polished for the role of an immigrant teen-ager who spends hours trying to teach himself to say ''the'' instead of ''da,'' but he makes Karchy's increasing sophistication and developing sense of morality entirely credible. Ms. Flockhart brings a dark-eyed gravity and intelligence to the role of Diney.
In addition to an evocative early-60's rock-and-roll soundtrack, the movie features a terrific old-style rhythm-and-blues number, ''Medium Rare,'' written by Mr. Bacon and performed by one of Karchy's black classmates (Damon Fletcher) and his group.
Directed by Guy Ferland; written by Joe Eszterhas; director of photography, Reynaldo Villalobos; edited by Jill Savitt; production designer, James Gelarden; produced by Ben Myron and Fran Rubel Kazui; released by Banner Pictures. Shown tonight at 6 and Saturday night at 6 at Alice Tully Hall, as part of the 35th New York Film Festival. Running time: 101 minutes. This film is not rated.
WITH: Kevin Bacon (Billy Magic), Brad Renfro (Karchy Jonas), Maximilian Schell (Dr. Istvan Jonas), Calista Flockhart (Diney Majeski), Paul Dooley (Father Norton), Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Kevin Boyle) and Damon Fletcher (Amos).

Well, March 2nd has come and gone, and that means it is time for another monthly update. The past months brought about so many changes in our little man. He is so interactive with us. He LOVES Chase. If anyone can get Parker to laugh, it is Chase. They love to take baths together. I am beginning to see little glimpses of what it will be like when they can be playmates. Can't wait! Hopefully, there will more playing than fighting :)
Here are some of Parker's new tricks:
*He army crawls everywhere! He can crawl a little bit, but prefers the army crawl.
*He sits up very well.
*He can go from sitting to his tummy and from crawling to sitting up.
*He can wave bye-bye
*He will rock on all fours when we ask him to. We say "rocky rock" and he goes for it.
*He splashes in the bath tub when we ask him to.
*He is still learning boundaries and the word "no."
*He got his first tooth this month.
*He has started to flirt with strangers. He was flirting with TWO women in a restaurant. With his big blue eyes, this could be just the beginning :)
*He loves praise! He gets so excited when we cheer for him or praise him for obeying.
*We had to lower the crib because he started pulling himself up.
*I think he probably weighs about 20 pounds and he measured 28.5 inches.
*He is wearing size 3 diapers.
*He is still eating 3 times a day. He is now getting some formula bottle and nursing.
*He is taking 2 naps a day. Usually one longer one and a shorter one.
*He is waking up to eat one time per night, but wakes up crying at other points. He puts himself back to sleep though.
*He constantly begs for food from us. We pretty much always share. :)
If Parker is fed and well rested, he is so easy. He loves to observe and watch his brother and Bridget. I am hoping the Lord answered my prayers and gave us a mellower baby :) We really see his little mind developing and it is exciting to see how much he really understands. We are so grateful for our precious Parker!

Boy oh boy, doesn't that title get you all excited?? I'm sure you've been dying to know what's been going on in Shannonland, right? Ok, maybe not but this is my blog and I feel like telling you so take that.
Basically, I'm not doing so well at this updating thing. I'm doing MUCH better at the reading thing – I've been making it through three or four books in one week as opposed to one book in three or four weeks. A lot of that, though, has to do with the fact that I have more time now. I will not go into a lot of detail because I'm not ready to get THAT personal on my book blog, but I no longer work for the United States governement. (Surprise! It was originally going to be a big, happy announcement but I've been sitting on it for weeks now. Don't ask why.) That means I'm down to three jobs instead of four. And I've definitely noticed a positive difference.
But it hasn't been the difference I thought it would. I thought that suddenly I would be stress-free and sleep like a baby and read tons of books and write reviews like I've never written reviews before. So far, only one of those things has been even close to true…and, hint, it's the one about reading. I've struggled with the impact this has had on my blogging – and made no secret of that struggle. It makes me sad that I can't seem to find the time to be more active here, that I often fail at visiting the blogs of my friends when they show me so much support by continuing to visit mine, etc. I could go on and on and turn this into a real pity party…but what I really wanted to say is that I'M STILL HERE.
I'll keep blogging – when I can, and as much as I can. I'll keep reviewing. Lord knows that I've got enough e-ARCs to keep me busy into next year – which I totally consider a blessing, not a curse. But I have been letting my lack of activity here really stress me out and I just can't do that anymore. I have to stop comparing myself to other people and my blog to other blogs. (I say that more for myself than any of you.) I don't want you all to think I don't care. I do, so much. But I'm still looking for the balance…so I'm still asking for your patience.
Almost every day I am shocked by the amazing kindness of this community. So many of you have more than proven to me that the good far outweighs the bad, and I thank you for it. You've opened your libraries, arms, hearts, and even your homes to me and I've been overwhelmed by your generosity and lack of judgment. Please keep supporting me. I promise you that one day I WILL return the favor. I won't do a shoutout because I'd miss someone or make someone feel left out so just know that I appreciate ALL of you who have offered me kind words, advice, general love, physical ARCs, good luck, funny Twitter conversations, random gifts – any and all types of positivity. <333333
That being said, between the Beat-the-Heat Readathon and ARC August (so far), I've made it through…drumroll please…SIX ARCS!!! I totally blew my reading goal out of the water and August isn't even over yet! My review goal…not so much. But hey, some improvement in one area is better than no improvement anywhere, right? I think so. *nod* So my goal for September?
This means I'll be in the writing cave a lot when I'm not sitting through class, doing photography shoots, or working on Babee Producks' marketing strategy – which in turn means I may be pretty scarce around Twitter. But please, feel free to tweet at me on there or email me or comment here. I read EVERYTHING, even if it takes me a while to get around to it and respond.
So there ya go, another update. Just keep swimming!

October 2006 Penguin Style
This is the October 2006 Penguin Style catalog. The main theme of this catalog was Halloween Costumes. The page containing the Ghost Costume, Skeleton Costume, and the Fairy Items was not originally there when the Clothing Catalog was released on the first Friday in October 2006. At first, only the Clown Costume existed on that page. Then on the day the 2006 Halloween Party started Club Penguin added those items to the catalog.

If your campaign is required to have a preheader and you don't want it displayed in your campaign, then you're in the right place.
Creating a preheader
To create a preheader so it won't be visible in your campaign, follow these steps:
- Add a text block to your campaign. Make sure the text block is at the top of the campaign before any other content.
- In the text field, highlight Type text here, then select the HTML button, as shown below
- You will then be taken to the 'Edit HTML' modal. Here you will need to highlight and delete

Type text here
. In the deleted text's place, copy and paste the code provided below. Near the end of the code, you will see
This is preheader text.where you will input what you want your preheader to be:
<span style="display:none !important;
This is preheader text.
- Select Save once you're satisfied.
At this stage, we recommend that you test your campaign just to make sure the preheader is appearing as it should. If the code has been integrated properly, you'll see the preheader, but it will not be visible within the campaign.
Troubleshooting for mobile
It's possible that you may come across the issue where a mobile will 'ignore' the code above, hence why we recommend testing to see if this occurs. If you discover the preheader is being ignored by a mobile, try adding one of the below options to your HTML by going to Utilities > Edit Source. You don't need to add a text box for this step, as outlined under 'Creating a preheader'.
- Option 1: Paste the code below inside the
tag of the campaign:

This preheader will display in the inbox before any other elements in the email and will be invisible when viewing the actual email.
- Option 2: Create a style and then paste the div code inside the body of the campaign. To start, add the below style between the
</styles>...tags inside the campaign:

This preheader will display in the inbox before any other elements in the email and will be invisible when viewing the actual
- Option 3: You can edit the campaign's HTML so the class on the text box includes both
ee-show-on-desktop. This does have a downside where you could forward the campaign or send to an app which doesn't support our hide on desktop or mobile code, but it should work in most cases.
Troubleshooting for Outlook
If you're sending your campaign to many Outlook users, it's worth adding a few non-breaking spaces to the text box to ensure it doesn't start pulling through the next line of text, such as a view in browser link. An example of the code can be found below:

Editable hidden inbox preview text

<div style="display: none;
max-height: 0px; overflow:
nbsp; &n
bsp; &nb
sp;

InformationThese are all options that require testing, and may not be the case that one option fits all. You should test these solutions as much as you can. We'd also recommend to simply focus on your top email clients and devices.

The histrionic threat by Valentino Castellani, organiser of the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics, to resign yesterday (as reported on this site) has been withdrawn; how surprising!
Following a meeting with the IOC president, Jacques Rogge, and Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi; Castellani's ego was duly mollified.
The division of powers between himself and Mario Pescante, the government appointed games supervisor, had been clarified to his satisfaction.
Castellani, a former mayor of Turin, said:
"..a page had been turned.." and he would remain head of organising committee through the games in February 2006.
What a relief!

Stone Soup
Thu, 07/18/2019 - 9:35pm admin
At Quarry Hill School in Middlebury, November is all about Stone Soup. Three- and 4-year-olds spend the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving immersing themselves in the classic tale — and preparing for a feast. They chop vegetables, make bread, churn butter, decorate stones and write menus and invitations. It all culminates in a big party, with songs and soup, at school with their families.

MECKLENBURG COUNTY, N.C. — A man accused of causing a nine-hour standoff with police is in custody again after being released from the Mecklenburg County Detention Center – for a second time.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said they arrested Luis Pineda-Ancheta midday on Sunday after he was released from custody overnight without the agency being notified. According to ICE, Pineda-Ancheta is in the country illegally from Honduras.
- CMPD: Heat exhaustion brought 9-hour standoff to an end
- ICE: Man who caused nine-hour standoff should have been in jail
- Federal agents threaten Charlotte city councilman with arrest
- Sheriff McFadden begins tenure by ending ICE's 287 (g) program in Mecklenburg County
- Bill requiring NC sheriff's cooperation with ICE advances
- Suspect accused of violent crime out of jail due to 287 (g) ending
"ICE made the arrest of this person based on immigration status," ICE spokesman Bryan Cox told Channel 9.
This is the second time in less than a month that Pineda-Ancheta has been released from custody after he posted bond.
"I think my job is public safety," U.S. Attorney Andrew Murray said. "It's not to play politics. It's to do public safety."
Murray is the top Justice Department official in the Carolinas.
Pineda-Ancheta faces multiple assault charges and is accused of strangling a woman and threatening to kill her.
"I didn't want this individual getting out into the streets again," Murray said. "Given the allegation, he's a serious threat to the community and certainly to the victim both times. So, to prevent a 'three-peat,' we had to go and intervene."
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department shut down an entire community off Sharonbrook Road last week during a nine-hour standoff while trying to serve arrest warrants on Pineda-Ancheta.
Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden was holding Pineda-Ancheta after his latest arrest but does not cooperate with the immigration detainer program known as 287(g).
"I don't really care about 287(g). I care about protecting this community," Murray said.
ICE said the agency should have been given a heads-up about his release.
"Simply let ICE know when you're releasing a public safety threat," Cox said.
The criminal complaint filed in District Court on Tuesday that accuses Pineda-Ancheta of illegally reentering the country is a federal charge and doesn't carry the same punch as state domestic-violence charges.
"There's the risk that he does his four to 10 months and then he gets deported, and that victim never gets the opportunity for justice," Murray said.
Murray said that McFadden is supposed to be a partner with federal law enforcement and that immigration officials could have picked up Pineda-Ancheta outside the county jail.
Pineda-Ancheta was not alone when he was arrested this weekend. ICE said the man he was with had a gun and was also in the country illegally.
ICE said the sheriff is letting politics get in the way of public safety.
"Our intent is not to make this an 'us' versus 'them.' Our focus is on public safety and keeping people safe," Cox said.
McFadden said on Monday that the feds should have issued a criminal arrest warrant in the case and not a voluntary detainer.
McFadden released the following statement in response on Monday:
"Luis Pineda-Ancheta was arrested on May 15, 2019 on multiple charges of misdemeanor domestic violence and felony larceny. Upon fulfilling his court-ordered terms and conditions of release, including the payment of a $5,000 total bond, MCSO released Pineda-Ancheta on May 17th as required by law. Regrettably, Pineda-Ancheta is alleged to have committed additional crimes of domestic violence, which led to a lengthy and dangerous stand-off with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police (CMPD) prior to his re-arrest on May 23, 2019. I am grateful for my colleagues at CMPD who were able to end that stand-off without injury to themselves or others."
"Though upon his re-arrest the court increased Pineda-Ancheta's total bond significantly, on June 1, 2019, he again fulfilled his court-ordered terms and conditions of release which also included electronic monitoring by CMPD. MCSO is required by law to release from its custody any individual who has satisfied his bond and all court-ordered conditions of release. MCSO does not determine whether any individual in its custody is granted a bond or, if so, the amount of the bond, whether the bond must be secured, or what terms and conditions (such as electronic monitoring) are required. These determinations are the sole responsibility of Mecklenburg County and Federal Judges and Magistrates."
"My decision that MCSO will no longer honor voluntary ICE administrative detainers is not the sole reason for Pineda-Ancheta's releases on May 17th or on June 1st. Different discretionary decisions of multiple stakeholders in the criminal justice system, including judicial and law enforcement (in particular ICE's own discretion), must also be acknowledged and addressed by those who believe that Pineda-Ancheta should have been kept in custody and then placed directly into deportation proceedings. At the time of Pineda-Ancheta's initial arrest on May 15, MCSO had no knowledge that he was previously deported in 2006. However, that information was readily available to ICE. Furthermore, it is a federal felony to re-enter the United States after having been previously deported."
"Inexplicably, upon both above arrests, ICE chose to issue voluntary ICE administrative detainers on Pineda-Ancheta, knowing that it is against my policy to honor such detainers. Based upon Pineda-Ancheta's previous deportation, ICE could have but did not seek a criminal arrest warrant for Illegal Re-Entry. The reasons for that decision have yet to be satisfactorily explained to me or to the public. MCSO will always honor a criminal warrant and hold any individual so charged in custody if and until that person has satisfied all court-ordered conditions of release. It is my understanding that bonds for individuals charged with the federal felony of Illegal Re-Entry are a rarity in the Western District of North Carolina (Charlotte)."
"As of today's, date, MCSO still does not have any information regarding current federal charges against Pineda-Ancheta or his current location."
The U.S. Attorney's Office confirmed Pineda-Ancheta is now in its custody and has been transferred to Georgia.

Literature of the Grand Tour of Italy is an FUA course that looks into the written works that emerged from the world altering phenomenon that was the Grand Tour. The writers we read contributed to changing modern travel and shaping tourism as we know it. Learning about the Grand Tour provided us with another perspective of Florence and how we experience the city.
Prior to the 17th century most people travelled for either religious or business purposes, e.g. merchants and pilgrims. While travelling for the sake of adventure occurred, the Grand Tour was developed for educational purposes. It became essential for young, rich, British noblemen to embark on a trip that lasted multiple months or years across Europe, which exposed them to many cultures and furthered their education.
Romantics like Byron and Shelley described Italy as a haven for outcasts; both found a type of acceptance there that their scandalous pasts robbed them of in England. Thus, they laid the foundations for the "Myth of Italy" as a pleasure-loving paradise. This depiction of Italy was perpetuated by writers, such as Stendhal and Goethe, and is still rampant to this day.
The Italian Grand Tour initially excluded Florence; focusing on Venice, Rome, Naples and Pompeii, which catered to the appreciation of classicism. However, during the 19th century, Florence and Tuscany in general gained popularity as art historians became interested in the Renaissance.
Stendhal was one of the Grand Tour writers who fell deeply in love with Florence. He was different from most in that he had no intentions of visiting Italy. He came as a young soldier in Napoleon's army and chose to come back after the fall of the French Empire. He kept a journal whilst travelling through Italy that later became the book Rome, Naples and Florence.
In this very book we see the backbone of what is known as Stendhal Syndrome. Stendhal famously visited Santa Croce where he was granted entry to a chapel that is frescoed with Volterrano's Sibylles. There he describes feeling the life being "dried up within" him and walking in "constant fear of falling to the ground." Of course there are sceptics; some site the fact that his actual travel journal does not mention this at all as proof. However, it has been used to identify and even treat the symptoms many travelers experience when "overdosing" on art. The term Stendhal Syndrome, coined by psychotherapist Graziella Magherini is now widely accepted as a psychological condition or state of being.
Future editions of this course can be consulted at the FUA academic schedule.

Savings challenges are so awesome — they challenge the way you currently save money so that you can turbo-boost your saving effort. The best ones last for just a short period of time, so that you don't get hung up in the "elastic effect" (meaning, you were so sick of not spending any money that you just go on a huge shopping binge).
We tackle questions like:
How much money do you save in the 52 week challenge?
How do I save more in 2018?
What week is it for the 52 week money challenge?

Facial recognition is one type of artificial intelligence that is becoming ever more pervasive in our society. It can make our lives easier by accomplishing various tasks such as unlocking smartphones with just a glance, and automatically tagging our friends and family in photos on social media. However, many ethical, legal and human rights concerns exist about facial recognition, from inaccuracies in the technology to its application as a means of general surveillance. Given this, what are the responsibilities of developers and users to ensure facial recognition is transparently, ethically, and justly developed and applied?
Join us for an interview with two leading experts on facial recognition technology who will explore the current capabilities of facial recognition, debunk the myths and explain the realities of its current degree of accuracy, and explore the potential medium and long-term capabilities of the technology. Learn about current efforts to address the ethical, legal and social implications of the technology and consider how these concerns should inform developers and users of the technology.
This is the first in a three-part AAAS series that is sponsored by Hitachi and aims at exploring artificial intelligence technologies, the current capabilities of the technologies, their ethical and policy implications, and the responsibilities of the scientists and engineers developing the technologies.
You do not need a Facebook account to view this event.
The next interviews in this series will be held on October 8 at 12:00 p.m. and November 12 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Recordings from this series will be archived on the AAAS website.

Davien Flynn's Spellbook
Full Arcana
- Lightning Bolt (-2 to cast)
- As a ranged weapon with 50m range and dealing 3d6 Electricity damage on hit.
- Chain lightning – for each -2 taken to cast, the lightning bolt may arc to an additional target within 10m of the first hit. Such arcing requires a new Per check to hit (no negatives for range) and reduces the damage dice by 1. An additional bolt will arc from the second target after that if subsequent negatives are taken and so on.
- Korlan's Fireburst:
- All creatures an objects within 2m of the caster take 2d8 fire damage.
- -1 for each additional +1 meter

- Darian's Detonation Blast: (-4 to cast)
- 20m range. 4m radius. 4d6 damage. Per to hit. Dodge check to take half damage and move to the edge of the radius.

- -5 to cast to for each +d6 you wish to increase the damage by.
- Flynn's Firestrider:
- Move your move distance through objects and terrain. Every object you move through takes 1d6 fire damage. At the end of your move explode in 2m dealing an additional d10 damage.
- -1 per +1m radius to the explosion
- -5 for each +1d6 to the damage of the spell.
- Dragorhath's Simple Astral Entanglement:
- You teleport 100m.
- -2 for each creature you wish to take with you (touched) they must be willing. If unconscious they make a willsave, but no conscious unwilling creature can be taken.
- -2 for each additional 50m meters
- Bronwyn's Dweomer Matrix:
- Determines properties of magic item.
- Alarm
- Wards an area for 1 day in a 4 metre radius. Can either be a mental alarm for the caster, or an audible alarm to all nearby the warded area. Creatures that speak the password (determined at the time of the alarm) do not trip the alarm.
- Cloudkill (-4)
- An 8m radius area is effected. Everyone in the area makes a con check each round they are in the effect. Each time they fail they take 1 Con damage. The cloud persists for 1 minute or is dispersed by moderate winds.
- Mancer's Magic Darts:
- 1d6 damage, roll to hit for dodge checks, otherwise automatically hits, auto hits otherwise.
- -1 for each additional missile, no multi-attack penalty, counts as independent targetting.
- Telynkir's Floating Disk:

- Wall is immune to damage. 5m long. Immune to everything. 1 round
- Serenia's Charm Vision:
- Subject is invisible for 1 min.
- -1 for each +1 minutes to duration.
- -5 for each additional creature effected.
- -5 to be able to attack and stay invisible.
- Enchant Object:
- Creating an object requires an Artificer quality object to begin the process. In addition it requires life-force and reagents. Any phenomena generated by casting this spell result in a cursed item. If the casting roll is failed the cost of the reagents are wasted. The reagents required are equal to 1/3 of the market value of the finished item. You also require 1/1000 of the finished value of the item in life-force, either taking Charisma score damage yourself, or others taking for you. You can alternatively use this to mend a broken enchanted item, in which case you only require 1/6 the value of materials and 1/2000 of the life force. You either pay the life force cost yourself by taking Charisma ability score damage, or can pay it with life-force by sacrificing creatures over the object to be enchanted before spell casting. Doing so gives you access to their Charisma score worth of life force, however each additional creature only provides half their Charisma score. Alternatively you can store souls in an item and use that.
- You can put effects on an item derived from any spell you can cast or have access. If the spell is not a passive effect then the item gains the ability to manifest that spell at what ever penalties you choose it to be cast at when you create the item (applying these penalties to your enchanting roll). The wielder takes an attack action (as if casting a spell) to activate the effect and then it is cast. Such enchantments have 2d10 charges. Passive effects otherwise become permanent (essentially anything with a rounds duration). Again any greater magnitude of effects require the requisite negative modifier be applied to the casting roll. Once all the charges in an item are consumed the item is no longer considered enchanted, but lingering traces of the enchantment can be detected permanently on the item.
- The value of the item is 1,000 GP if only a cantrip is placed on it, and 10,000 GP if a full fledged spell is placed upon it. It is an additional 5,000 GP for each -1 that is applied to casting roll of this spell.
- -4 to cast for each additional effect to be placed on the same item.
- -4 to cast on an item that is masterwork quality (no extra GP cost is incurred)
- -8 to cast on an item that is common quality (no extra GP cost is incurred)
- -12 to cast on a poor quality item (no extra GP cost is incurred)
- -8 to cast on an already enchanted object (no extra GP cost is incurred, simply determine the cost of the new effect as if it was a new item)
- -1 to cast for each additional charge.
- -4 to cast to 'Stunt' a normal spell in some way that subtly alter's its effects, eg; Changed 'Bind the Soul' from an activated effect with charges, to a permanent passive ability that attempts to trap the soul of any creature it kills. Another example would be to change Force Weapon from permanently summoning such a weapon to providing an unlimited number of ammunition in a quiver.
- +2 to cast from 'Rule of Sympathy' such as placing a damage enchantment on a weapon or a resistance enchantment on armour. This is at GM's discretion. (no GP cost reduction)
- +4 to cast from 'Rule of Sympathy' if enchantments are placed on weapons or armour with potent history and legacy, or if they emulate the type of enchantment. (no GP cost reduction)
- +4 to cast for 'Auspicious Circumstances' such as Full Moons, Cosmic Alignments or Magical Locations. This is at GM's discretion. (no GP cost reduction)
- Gromrin's Unhinging:

The creatures may attempt to restrain their weapons by reacting with Strength check as a reaction, or by dodging (by releasing their weapon). The weapon will then continue to attack its owner by floating in mid air. Magic weapons receive a saving throw to ignore this spell.
- Keen Edge
- Increase the weapons critical damage by +1 for 10 minutes.
- -2 to cast for each additional +1
- Polar Ray
- 4d6 Cold damage 20m range.

This requires a magic circle of protection (focused inwards) be drawn. The creature and the mage make opposed charisma checks. The mage will receive a bonus or negative based on the bargain struck. If successful the creature will do the bidding, though how it does it is another matter. It is likely that the creature will test the circle as soon as it is summoned, and can test the circle once per day, as its summoning is permanent. The level of the creature is determined at summoning, either you get a random creature with a Charisma bonus equal to your degrees of success to cast and from the appropriate planar area (your choice), or a specific creature if you know a True Name.

Algonquin College breaks ground on state-of-the-art $44.9 million facility
_ (press release) _ Ottawa — Algonquin College marked one of its most important announcements today with a groundbreaking ceremony for its new Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Learning Centre and Institute for Indigenous Entrepreneurship — a state-of-the-art facility scheduled to open in 2018.
President Cheryl Jensen was joined by Anita Vandenbeld, Member of Parliament for Ottawa West-Nepean, the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change and the Honourable Bob Chiarelli for the ceremony.
Jensen gave special thanks to Vandenbeld and Chiarelli for "their stalwart support."
The new $44.9 million Algonquin College Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Learning Centre and Institute for Indigenous Entrepreneurship was made possible in large part thanks to a $21.9 million grant from the Federal Government through the Strategic Investment Fund for Post-secondary Education Institutions and $2.9 million from the Province of Ontario.
Jensen said that the College has always been a champion of innovation, and today's announcement made that clear.
"We have enjoyed so many 'firsts' here at Algonquin, but today is arguably the most important 'first' of all," she said. "It is the day when we are claiming our future and sending the strongest signal possible about our identity as a college. Is a day when we proudly say, 'This is who we are.' "
The project, which will take approximately two years to complete, will feature facilities for testing and development, simulations, competitions, collaborative project development, as well as entrepreneurial support in the growing field of cyber security. The Institute for Indigenous Entrepreneurship will be the first of its kind on a college campus in Ontario and will be designed in consultation with indigenous communities and be based on indigenous business principles.
"When indigenous learners arrive at Algonquin College, they will find a place that echoes their heritage, providing the kind of foundation they need to succeed," said Jensen. "And these learners will take that success, and the confidence that comes with it, to their homes and communities."
"I have experienced firsthand Algonquin College's impact in our community as an educator and bridge builder. With this investment we are ensuring Algonquin College will continue to provide a world-class education," said Vandenbeld, who made the joint federal-provincial announcement to a capacity crowd in the College's library, the site of the renovation. "Transforming the library into this modern, collaborative learning facility will provide access to the tools and technologies our students and community need to experiment, to create, and to innovate."
Minister Chiarelli said the provincial government was "proud to support" the project.
"We know that providing access to high-quality education and training facilities is critical to building the highly-skilled workforce we need to support good jobs and economic growth," said Chiarelli.

#WakeUpCall Campaign Gains Traction
Put Your Disgusting Face to Good UseIf your Facebook wall is currently inundated with photos of friends looking decrepit, do not be alarmed. No, Ebola hasn't brought on the apocalypse (yet), nor have all your contacts recently got really into cosplaying The Walking Dead. Instead, it's people joining in with UNICEF's latest charity social media campaign: #WakeUpCall.
A string of A-list celebrities have fronted the campaign, which asks those nominated to upload a photo of themselves seconds after waking up. According to the Huffington Post, the appeal has reached 300 million people since October 3rd, and they've combined to raise "tens of thousands" of pounds in the UK alone (the worldwide total isn't yet confirmed due to UNICEF running independent donation lines in each country). It looks likely that the earnings will only get more impressive, as Spredfast statistics say that the campaign has beaten the number of tweets made about the Ice Bucket Challenge in the same time frame - with 26,655 tweets about Wake Up Call eclipsing the 18,577 made about the Ice Bucket Challenge in the same amount of time.
