# 'Altered Beast' and 'Streets of Rage' coming to film and TV

"Fear of the Walking Dead" producers are adapting the '90s Sega classics.

Sonic the Hedgehog has apparently opened the floodgates on Sega adaptations.

Sega Group's production arm is teaming with Fear the Walking Dead producer Circle of Confusion on adaptations of '80s and '90s classics Altered Beast and Streets of Rage, according to Variety.

Beat 'em up game Streets of Rage pits your rogue cop against big city crime boss Mr. X, while sidescroller Beast features a resurrected Greek Warrior that transforms into powerful werecritters after defeating a suite of villains.

Sure, the plots are cliche, but so are zombies, and The Walking Dead team made that work.

Anyway, it's more about tapping our childhood nostalgia, and those titles were among the most popular on Sega's Mega Drive/Genesis platforms.

"We look forward to seeing the centurion from Altered Beast rise from his grave, and the Streets of Rage heroes Adam, Axel and Blaze fight to take their city back," said Stories International CEO Tomoya Suzuki.

Ironically, the original Altered Beast arcade version finishes with a cut scene showing that everything was just a movie, so we'll be interested to see if they break that fourth (or fifth) wall again.

Sega is also looking for partners on titles like Virtua Fighter, Crazy Taxi and Shinobi, and there's no word yet on which studios or broadcasters are taking on Altered Beast and Streets of Rage.

In other words, don't expect to see them on the screen anytime soon.

# Trump renominates 'overwhelmingly unfit' nominee for top environmental position

## Delaware senator vows to fight CEQ nominee.

President Donald Trump on January 8, 2018, renominated several controversial officials to top environmental and science positions.

President Donald Trump sent the names of several controversial candidates back to the Senate — including one nominee a Senate Democrat described as "overwhelmingly unfit for such a crucial position" — as he seeks to fill high-level environmental and science positions in his administration.

The nominees were included in a White House announcement late Monday that it is renominating dozens of people who require Senate approval to fill their government positions.

At the end of 2017, the Senate sent back numerous nominees that were unable to get enough support to remain under consideration.

The list includes Kathleen Hartnett White for head of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ); Andrew Wheeler for deputy administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); Barry Lee Myers for head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); and Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) for administrator of NASA, one of the nation's leading scientific agencies.

Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE), the top Democrat on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said the Trump administration should expect a fight on White's renomination.

"This is not just another Trump nominee.

In the 17 years I have been in the Senate, I have never sat through a hearing as excruciating as Ms. White's," Carper said in a statement Monday.

"Even if the administration insists on doubling down on candidates who have proven to be so clearly unacceptable, those of us in the Senate must still be able to recognize when someone is overwhelmingly unfit for such a crucial position."

White is a senior fellow and director of the Armstrong Center for Energy and the Environment at the fossil-fuel funded Texas Public Policy Foundation and previously served as chair of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

### Trump environmental nominee doesn't believe science should 'dictate policy'

Top Democrat accuses nominee of showing disdain for science.

The League of Conservation Voters also was dismayed by Trump's decision to renominate White, whom the environmental group argued "has no place heading up the White House environmental office."

During his Senate confirmation hearing for the No. 2 position at the EPA, Wheeler, a former coal lobbyist, said he had viewed a plan developed by top coal producer Murray Energy to roll back environmental regulations at the agency and attended meetings on Energy Secretary Rick Perry's proposal to subsidize coal and nuclear plants.

Murray Energy was one of Wheeler's lobbying clients while working at the law firm Faegre Baker Daniels.

Wheeler previously worked on the staff of a top congressional climate science denier, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK).

"As Scott Pruitt's number two, coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler would only rubberstamp more favors to the administration's polluter allies at the expense of our clean air and water," Sara Chieffo, vice president for government affairs at the LCV, said in a statement Monday.

Trump also renominated Barry Lee Myers, the CEO of weather forecasting company AccuWeather, to head the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

At his November confirmation hearing, Myers admitted to senators that humans are the main cause of climate change, contradicting the statements of the president and several of his cabinet secretaries.

### NOAA nominee ignores Trump administration talking points on cause of climate change

AccuWeather exec contradicts the president and most of his top appointees.

Myers, who has no scientific background, has come under scrutiny for lobbying to privatize public weather information.

AccuWeather's business model is to take NOAA data and products on weather, developed with taxpayer dollars, and deliver them to the public in a proprietary form that customers want.

He has been a strong advocate against NOAA having the capability to provide such products directly to the public.

Bridenstine is a politician without any scientific credentials, unlike previous NASA chiefs.

His nomination has been criticized by both of Florida's senators, Marco Rubio (R) and Bill Nelson (D).

Rubio said, "I just think [his nomination] could be devastating for the space program."

In 2013, Bridenstine gave a speech on the House floor filled with standard denier talking points and ended his remarks with a demand that President Barack Obama apologize for funding research into climate science.

Environmental policy of the Donald Trump administration

Appointments.:EPA Administrator.:Deputy Administrator of the EPA.

In 2017 Trump nominated Andrew Wheeler to be the deputy administrator of the EPA. Wheeler has worked as a lawyer and lobbyist, specializing in energy and environmental policy. He is a critic of nationwide limits on greenhouse gas emissions and has supported the continued use of fossil fuels.


The film revolves around the pressures on being successful and meeting the expectations of families, schools, and friends in Naperville and DuPage County.

# Naperville film becomes 'starting point' for suicide prevention

The creators of "I'm Fine," a short film about teen suicide, include Jonny Boucher, left, founder of a nonprofit suicide prevention group called Hope For The Day, Carl Evans, director of programs and operations for Hope For The Day, and AnnMarie Parker of Nickel A Day Films.

Pioneer Park is one of their filming locations in Naperville.

Jonny Boucher and Carl Evans of the nonprofit Hope For The Day and AnnMarie Parker of Nickel A Day Films shot scenes for their short film "I'm Fine" at Pioneer Park in Naperville.

The film aims to start conversations in an attempt to prevent future deaths.

Pioneer Park in Naperville is one of the settings for Jonny Boucher, AnnMarie Parker, Carl Evans and others involved in "I'm Fine."

The film debuts at film festivals and is set to be shown in the Naperville area this fall.

"I'm Fine" director Ron Rehana meets with actors Lisa Ganji and Mark Smilie on set at the Naperville Art League while shooting the short film.

Cast and crew members film a classroom scene for "I'm Fine," much of which was shot in Naperville.

Olivia Ritchie plays the main character in the short film "I'm Fine."

Carl Evans, director of programs and operations for the nonprofit Hope for the Day, and Annmarie Parker of Nickel A Day Films introduce their short film "I'm Fine" to Naperville City Council members who supported the project with a grant of nearly $15,000.

Christina Phanthao, events coordinator for the nonprofit Hope for the Day, displays a poster for "I'm Fine," while Carl Evans, director of programs and operations, introduces the film to the Naperville City Council.

The silence about suicide can be deafening, mental health advocates say.

"The more you get involved in mental health and suicide prevention work, the more it becomes clear that the single biggest obstacle is silence," said Carl Evans, director of programs and operations for a nonprofit group called Hope For The Day.

"It's this silence that makes people walk around thinking that they're alone with these problems and these issues, and it continues itself."

In an occasional series, the Daily Herald explores how the suburbs respond to conditions of the mind.

Today, we examine a film that aims to start difficult conversations about teen suicide and mental health problems.

A new film shot and produced in Naperville is trying to end that silence.

"I'm Fine" is a short film produced by Naperville-based Nickel A Day Films and Hope For The Day.

"We wanted to do something more than a documentary that confronted suicide and mental health without it being an after-school special that trivialized the topic into a plot point," Evans said.

"We wondered if we could make something engaging that didn't sacrifice relevant and important information about mental health."

The way to solve the stifling silence around mental illness is obvious, yet painful and difficult to attempt, Evans says.

But these aren't easy, everyday conversations.

They're touchy talks about a topic shrouded in stigma, cultural taboos and social barriers.

"We intend to provide a narrative that is a starting point," he said.

The film is complete and producers are preparing for a screening in the Naperville area, likely sometime next month.

But they have bigger plans than the silver screen for their piece, which delves into the struggles that lead young people to consider, attempt and sometimes, sadly, complete the act.

"What they've come up with is a direct example of how teens can cope in not-so-obvious ways," said Lisa Gangi of Naperville, who acted as the mother of one of the film's main characters.

"It gives examples of how teens might be in crisis and what some possibilities might be to help."

In "I'm Fine," a "smart, pretty, young teen" kills herself; "It came out of nowhere," said AnnMarie Parker of Nickel A Day Films.

The film follows the girl's twin brother and their friends as the teens try to cope.

One girl, specifically, begins to struggle despite "everything going for her" because she's so overwhelmed, Parker says.

The girl withdraws socially and her grades slip, but she's tricked into expressing herself through art therapy.

"She realizes others have these issues," Parker said.

"She realizes, 'I can break down and let go and I'll be OK.

There are other people like me and I don't have to be ashamed that I have a mental health disorder.'"

It's a realization film producers hope other teens will have when they watch "I'm Fine" in school.

Hope For The Day founder and Long Grove native Jonny Boucher gives talks about depression and mental health awareness at schools in the suburbs and around the country.

Before he appears, the organization sends each school a packet of materials so educators can prepare students for his visit and the weighty topics he'll address, Evans said.

The plan is for "I'm Fine" to be added to that packet -- after it debuts at several film festivals first, Parker said.

The film will be entered in the Chicago International Social Change Film Festival and others, she said, but it missed the deadline for the eighth annual Naperville International Film Festival, which was earlier this month.

The film stays true to its Naperville roots, though, as many of the characters and plot elements are based on true stories from Naperville-area families.

Film producers met with the families during the past two years, and Gangi, mother of a 14-year-old, said their struggles ring true.

"I'm very familiar with some of these challenges," she said.

The concerns arising from Naperville and DuPage County center on pressure -- and lots of it, Evans said.

"Pressure of success is something that tends to dominate a lot of the traffic we're getting out of that area," Evans said.

"It's a subtle issue and it's more likely to be silent, with kids trying to cope with performing and meeting expectations placed on them externally and by themselves."

Feeling immense pressure to be perfect may not, in itself, be a diagnosable mental health condition, Evans said.

But left unaddressed, it could lead to mental illness.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 4,600 young people in America between ages 10 and 24 take their own lives each year.

"In Naperville and in DuPage County in general, youth are hit particularly hard," Evans said.

The film is targeted at a high school audience, but Parker said it can be a talking tool with even younger children, such as her 7-year-old son.

He was interested in the film, so she prepared him for the topic and let him watch.

Watching "I'm Fine" still makes Parker choke up, so it's likely to be an emotional ride for parents.

But the good that can come from viewing the film and discussing the topic it covers is worth the discomfort, she says.

"Don't hide from mental health issues," Parker said.

Murder in the First and the U.S. Penitentiary, Alcatraz

Murder in the First claims that Young was a teenage orphan who was sentenced to Alcatraz for stealing $5 from a grocery store in order to feed his starving sister, and that he "never harmed or attempted to harm anyone" before entering Alcatraz.

The true story is that he was a bank robber who had taken and brutalized a hostage on at least one occasion and committed murder in 1933--some 3 years before being incarcerated at Alcatraz.

He had served time in State prisons in Montana and Washington before entering Federal prison for the first time in 1935 at the U.S. Penitentiary on McNeil Island, Washington (which is now a State prison).

Although Young did participate in a January 1939 escape attempt, he was not kept naked in a dark dungeon for 3 years as punishment, as the movie indicates.

Instead, he was held in the disciplinary segregation unit in the main cellhouse as punishment for the escape attempt.

He was confined to a normal cell--not a dungeon--with plumbing, an electric light, a cot, and other appropriate cell furnishings.

Various events in the movie set in a dungeon--such as scenes where the associate warden slashes Young's Achilles tendon to prevent future escapes--are fabrications.

The events surrounding Young's fatal attack on Rufus McCain are also portrayed inaccurately.

In the movie, Young becomes a madman after 3 years in the dungeon, is then taken directly from the dungeon to the dining hall, and, moments later, stabs McCain to death with a spoon handle.

The implication is that Young's homicidal behavior was a direct result of his inhumane confinement and that he had no control over his actions.

In reality, Young was released from his cell in segregation after only a few months.

He was returned to the general population no later than autumn 1939.

More than a year after that--in December 1940--he killed McCain in the industries building.

The movie also implies that Young died on Alcatraz in 1942, evidently committing suicide after scrawling the word "victory" on the wall or floor of his cell.

Young remained at Alcatraz until 1948, when he was transferred to the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners at Springfield, Missouri.

When his Federal sentence expired in 1954, he was turned over to the Washington State Penitentiary at Walla Walla to begin a life sentence for an earlier murder conviction.

In 1972, he was released from Washington State Penitentiary, but he jumped parole and, according to Washington State authorities, his whereabouts are unknown.

Far from committing suicide 53 years ago, therefore, Young might still be alive.

Many of the depictions of Alcatraz and its staff are completely inaccurate.

Murder in the First portrays the warden as managing three prisons simultaneously: USP Alcatraz, and the California State prisons at Folsom and San Quentin.

The movie further states that the warden visited Alcatraz only 24 times over a 3-year period.

In fact, no one has been warden of a Federal prison and a State prison simultaneously.

James A. Johnston, the actual warden at Alcatraz and one of the most respected prison administrators of his generation, was warden at Folsom in 1912 and San Quentin from 1913 to 1924; he did not become warden at Alcatraz until 1934, and served in that position full-time.

He lived right on the island, in a house just a few yards from the front door of the cellhouse.

Nor is there any validity to claims that FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover selected Johnston to be warden at Alcatraz, that Hoover and the Alcatraz management intimidated prospective witnesses in Young's trial, that inmates were being driven insane at Alcatraz, and that 32 were removed from the island in straitjackets during a period of only a few years leading up to Young's trial.

Equally groundless and unfair is the depiction of officers at Alcatraz as sadistic brutes.

The evil prison officer is one of the oldest and least imaginative movie cliches, and one of the most misleading.

Trial evidence photo of Young's Alcatraz A-Block Upper-Tier Isolation Cell, circa 1941.

Trial evidence photo showing location of Young's closed-front cell in A-Block.

Note: This statement was made in response to a request for an investigation of the U.S. Penitentiary, Alcatraz, made by the jury that tried Henry (or Henri) Young for the murder of a fellow prisoner.

I am firmly convinced that the jury which tried Henri Young for murder of another inmate in the Alcatraz Penitentiary has been misled about conditions at the prison.

It has been impressed by tactics which sought to free Young through disparaging and attacking a public institution performing humanely and intelligently a most difficult task of protecting the public from hardened and unregenerate criminals.

Young has been described by former United States Attorney Simpson and Federal Judge Stanley Webster of Spokane, Washington, as "the worst and most dangerous criminal with whom they ever dealt" and as "one who would not hesitate to kill anybody who crossed his path."

He has been permitted to go virtually unpunished on the basis of inferences and innuendoes made by inmates whose criminal records and life histories show them to be wholly unreliable and who were able to commit deliberate perjury with impunity since they could not be reached by any effective legal process.

From such information as I have about the trial, it is apparent that the Jury had before it no first-hand information or reliable evidence as to the policies or methods followed in the management of the most difficult and desperate group of prisoners ever assembled.

Alcatraz is now and always has been open to inspection and investigation by any qualified or properly commissioned person or groups.

It has been inspected by Judges, Congressmen, penologists and qualified private citizens and has been approved as a modern and intelligent method of protecting the public from those desperate criminals who have proved themselves to be wholly intractable.

The institution, for instance, was recently inspected by experts of the Osborne Association of New York, a private philanthropic organization devoted primarily to the investigation of prisons, and was pronounced by them as well managed and operated and as using no improper system of discipline.

Members of the Appropriations Committee of Congress in the course of their examination of our estimates also recently inspected the institution and made no criticism of its methods or operations.

I have visited Alcatraz frequently as have various members of our staff and know personally most of the inmates, including Young.

As a matter of fact, I have on several occasions personally interviewed Young and done everything possible to obtain his cooperation.

I have never found or had called to my attention any authentic case of brutality or inhumanity at Alcatraz.

Corporal punishment is prohibited in all the Federal penal institutions including Alcatraz.

We stand on our record as the most modern and humane penal system in the world.

I have every confidence in Warden Johnston.

He is a just, humane, and intelligent prison warden capably performing the most difficult job any warden was ever asked to assume.

The entire institutional staff has consistently displayed their courage, patience, and devotion to the public service.

They deserve the support of every fair-minded citizen whose homes and safety they have helped to protect.

The statements made by the prisoners so far called to my attention have already been carefully investigated by the Department [of Justice] and found to be wholly unfounded.

When, however, a transcript of the testimony has been received, it will be carefully gone over as in every other case, and if any evidence or facts are found showing brutal or inhuman treatment, vigorous corrective measures will be taken.

Young was born in Kansas City, Missouri on June 20, 1911.

# Democracy in America at Work: The History of Labor's Vote in Corporate Governance

School of Law, King's College, London; Centre for Business Research, University of Cambridge; University of California, Berkeley - Berkeley Center on Comparative Equality & Anti-Discrimination Law

Can there be democracy in America at work?

The historical division between democracy in politics and hierarchy in the economy is under strain.

Hierarchical interests in the economy are shifting their model of power into politics, and yet a commitment to revive the law is resurgent.

Central examples are the proposed Accountable Capitalism Act, Reward Work Act, Workplace Democracy Acts, and Employees' Pension Security Acts.

They would create a right for employees to elect 40% of directors on $1 billion company boards, a right for employees to elect one-third of directors on other listed company boards, and require one-half employee representation on single-employer pension plans.

All challenge long held myths: that labor's involvement in corporate governance is foreign to American tradition, that when codified in law labor voice is economically inefficient, that the legitimate way to have voice in the economy is by buying stocks, or that labor voice faces insurmountable legal obstacles.

This article shows these myths are mistaken by exploring the history and evidence from 1861.

The United States has one of the world's strongest traditions of democracy at work.

Economic democracy has not been more widespread primarily because it was suppressed by law.

Americans favor voice at work, while asset managers who monopolize shareholder votes with 'other people's money' enjoy no legitimacy at all.

The article concludes that, even without federal government, and by recreating themselves as laboratories of democracy and enterprise, states can adapt the current proposals and rebuild a living law.

(meta data) TITLE: Our Story | Awakening to God

In thirty-eight years of marriage, Gerard and Jeannie Long have come to know and love God in a profound way.

It's this love that has enabled them to persevere through any parent's worst nightmare and to now have even more love for Jesus Christ and for each other.

They've experienced success and wealth based on the values of the world and also the deepest grief and suffering from the death of two of their three children.

On their journey, God has revealed His grace and glory to them in extra ordinary ways.

In particular, they've experienced how God is able to redeem the most painful are as of our lives and turn them around for good.

Gerard has caught a deep awareness of eternity and Jeannie has experienced God's presence and glory when she was close to ending her own life.

Their marriage has triumphed when all seemed lost and they've learnt valuable lessons on their unbelievable journey.

And, they have a very clear message of God's calling for each Christ follower to obey the Great Command and the Great Commission.

After a successful collegiate track career, Gerard earned a BS (with honors) in banking and finance and went to work for HSBC (on of the world's largest banks), eventually rising to the office of senior vice president, corporate marketing.

Jeannie was trained at the Royal Ballet School and danced professionally before starting her own ballet school in London.

In 1980, Gerard had a dramatic encounter with God.

Gerard and Jeannie married in 1981 and both felt called to serve in a church in North London where Gerard served as a pastor for 17 years.

During this time Gerard continued to work in the banking and finance industry and Jeannie stayed at home to raise their three children.

Gerard's banking career took him around the world and included some fascinating roles, including director of the Year 2000 program for the UK and Europe.

In 2001, they moved to New York, where Gerard was asked to launch a global product for HSBC, and then on to Chicago in 2003, where he led the integration of HSBC and Household International.

Through out his banking career, Gerard sought to introduce his colleagues to Jesus Christ and while serving in the City of London he was Chairman of Christians in Finance (which was founded in 1875).

Shortly after saying to Jeannie in 2004, "Does it get any better than this?", Gerard and Jeannie went through a period of intense brokenness, following the suicide of their seventeen year old son Alex.

Jeannie lost her faith for two years and, apart from God's grace, their marriage would have failed.

During this period, Gerard received a revelation of eternity which helped him to journey through a season of terrible pain and suffering.

Through some supernatural touches from God, Jeannie came back to faith in Christ and they triumphed in their marriage.

At the end of 2006, Gerard retired from HSBC and joined Alpha USA (Alpha helps churches to make more disciples of Jesus Christ, it operates in more than 169 countries, and more than 24 million people have experienced Alpha, including 3 million in the US).

Gerard served as the CEO of Alpha USA for seven years, during which time the ministry grew by over 300%.

In 2014, another terrible tragedy struck when Gerard and Jeannie's beautiful daughter, Rebecca, slipped and fell into the frigid waters of Lake Michigan and drowned.

There are no words to describe the pain and the suffering but, in the midst of it, God has fellowshipped with them giving them a supernatural story of His grace and glory.

# A Call to Share the Message of God's Grace and Glory

In obedience to an unequivocal call from God, Gerard resigned from Alpha at the end of 2014 and they're now testifying to God's amazing grace.

In particular, sharing how God, through the Cross, can take the worst things that happen to us and, if we let Him, turn them for good as part of His eternal plan and purpose.

Once he was embarked on a career, Long agreed to serve as a pastor at a North London church, where he remained for 22 years (during this time he was also Chairman of Christians in Finance, founded in 1875). Over the same period, Long achieved notable success in the world of business, becoming a senior executive at HSBC Plc, one of the world's largest banks, and Europe's largest bank. His banking career took him around the world and included some significant roles including Director of the Year 2000 Program (Millennium Bug) for the UK and Europe. In 2001 he was moved to New York to launch a global product and then he was moved to Chicago to lead the integration of HSBC and Household International, following the latter's $13.8 billion purchase in 2003. He appeared on TV and in major newspapers both as an advisor on the Millennium Bug (Y2K) and as a Christian living for Jesus Christ in the City of London.
 In 2006, Long decided to leave his banking career to join Alpha USA. Where he was the CEO for seven years, helping the industry grow over 300%.


"The Seattle Times" reported that the Orient Express, owned by Gun "Ed" Ting, had managed to attract former regulars of Andy's Diner, despite the significant change in menu from steak, potatoes, and other traditional diner fare to American Chinese cuisine.

# All aboard the Orient Express: "Andy's" reopens

Originally published October 27, 2008 at 11:45 am

Way back in March, I told you about the sale of Andy's Diner — closed since January — and developer Henry Liebman's plans for South Seattle landmark.

And in the wake of that post, I had a nice chance to chat with long-retired owner Andy Yurkanin who promised to take me to lunch once the place re-opened:

He'll get his chance soon, because today the famous railcar-diner debuted as the Orient Express, specializing in Chinese, Thai and American food and offering (get this!) on-site childcare.

I'd meet Andy there for lunch today, but as we speak he's enjoying his retirement at his second home in Eastern Washington.

"I'm sitting here at the duck club, looking out at Toppenish Creek," he said when we talked this morning.

No, he's not duck hunting, just hanging out with his pal Gilbert Barthe, owner of the late, great Mirabeau Restaurant.

Meanwhile, over on Fourth Avenue South, the new owner of the Orient Express, Gun Ting (late of Wild Ginger and known as Ed to many of his friends), greets his first paying guests today.

An extra-special thanks to reader Jeri Lloyd, who tipped me off to the opening after she and her husband decided to drive by yesterday to see how the transformation from old to new was coming along.

"The parking lot was nearly full and there was a `Grand Opening' banner," she wrote in an email.

Turns out they'd stumbled in to a pre-opening party, complete with a buffet (replete with clam chowder, lemon chicken and Thai red curry beef) and waiters dressed in black and offering drinks.

Invited to join in the fun, Jeri and her husband were warmly welcomed, handed some plates and told to look for seats in an open railcar.

"The place still has a warren-like aspect due to the railroad cars, but it's obvious a lot of work has been done," Jeri said.

She no doubt speaks for many longtime Seattleites when she said, "I'm so glad someone saved the place that I wish them great success."

After Andy's Diner closed in January 2008, developer Henry Liebman, owner of the restaurant property, began offering it for rent, hoping that if the new lessee "just got back to serving a decent steak and a potato," it would be more successful thanks to the location's parking spaces and closeness to Safeco Field and Qwest Field. Eventually, in October of that year, a Chinese restaurant, the Orient Express, opened on the site, occupying the same railcars that once housed Andy's Diner.

Saltholme Wildlife Reserve and Discovery Park

This was the world's first passenger railway, connecting Stockton with Shildon. The opening of the railway greatly boosted Stockton, making it easier to bring coal to the factories; however the port declined as business had moved down river to Middlesbrough.
 Stockton witnessed another discovery in 1827. Local chemist John Walker invented the friction match in his shop at 59 High Street. The first sale of the matches was recorded in his sales-book on 7 April 1827, to a Mr. Hixon, a solicitor in the town. Since he did not obtain a patent, Walker received neither fame nor wealth for his invention, but he was able to retire some years before his death. He died in 1859 at the age of 78 and is buried in the parish churchyard in Norton village.
 The first bell for Big Ben was cast by John Warner and Sons in Norton on 6 August 1856, but became damaged beyond repair while being tested on site and had to be replaced by a foundry more local to Westminster.


He competed at the 1998 Winter Olympics and the 2002 Winter Olympics.

A sail area/displacement ratio below 16 would be considered under powered;

16 to 20 would indicate reasonably good performance;

above 20 suggests relatively high performance.

A Bal./Disp. ratio of 40 or more translates into a stiffer, more powerful boat that will be better able to stand up to the wind.

The lower a boat's D/L ratio, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed.

This is a ratio created by Ted Brewer as a measure of motion comfort.

It provides a reasonable comparison between yachts of similar type.

It is based on the fact that the faster the motion the more upsetting it is to the average person.

Consider, though, that the typical summertime coastal cruiser will rarely encounter the wind and seas that an ocean going yacht will meet.

Numbers below 20 indicate a lightweight racing boat;

30 to 40 indicates a moderate bluewater cruising boat;

40 to 50 indicates a heavy bluewater boat;

over 50 indicates an extremely heavy bluewater boat.

Designed to determine if a boat has blue water capability.

The CSF compares beam with displacement since excess beam contributes to capsize and heavy displacement reduces capsize vulnerability.

The boat is better suited for ocean passages (vs coastal cruising) if the result of the calculation is 2.0 or less.

Same hull and rig as the earlier version introduced in 1982 but with a larger cockpit and updated deck and interior.

Chris Foley (IND) since an April 2003 by-election.

The electorate of Maryborough covers the City of Maryborough and surrounding rural areas, also stretching north to take in western parts of Hervey Bay between Burrum Heads to Toogoom.

Known as the 'Heritage City', Maryborough is the second oldest settlement in Queensland after Brisbane and has existed as an electorate since 1865.

It is a seat that has had been represented by four different political parties and two independents in the last three decades.

Between 1971 and 1977 it was held by the Liberal Party's Gilbert Alison.

The seat then fell into Labor hands for two terms before being re-gained by Alison, now running for the National Party.

As the rest of Queensland swung strongly to Labor in 1989, Maryborough nudged its way into the Labor fold, remaining a marginal seat for sitting MP Bob Dollin until his defeat in 1998 by One Nation's John Kingston, a victory achieved on National Party preferences.

Kingston was one of the first One Nation MPs to leave the party and contested the 2001 election as an Independent, getting just enough National Party preferences to overhaul the Labor Party's lead on first preferences.

He resigned from parliament early in 2003 due to ill health, being succeeded by another Independent in Chris Foley, also clawing his way ahead of Labor on National Party preferences.

Foley's task of re-election in 2004 was made easier when the Labor Party had internal disputes in pre-selection and the National Party candidate withdrew his nomination at the last minute over an unresolved domestic dispute.

In 2006 Foley romped to victory with two-thirds of the first preference vote.

While forced to preferences in 2009, Foley still easily outpolled his Labor and LNP opponents.

Burtt is a workplace trainer for a leading logistics provider.

In his spare time he coaches students in volleyball across Queensland, and is an active sports coach in various programs across Queensland schools that promote healthy lifestyle through volleyball.

Dale was born in Maryborough and raised in North Queensland and worked as a postman and a diesel fitter before taking up a medium sized grocery store in Maryborough.

For 10 years he has owned and operated the John Street grocery.

Dale has also served on local boards including Maryborough RSL and is a current member and past president of the local Rotary Club.

Born in country Queensland, Maddern was educated in both state and private schools and later completed qualification as a registered property valuer.

Maddern moved to Maryborough in 1985 with her family where she runs a valuation practice with her husband.

She is involved with Fraser Coast Meals on Wheels and is the President of the Quota Club of Maryborough.

Maddern was the LNP candidate in this seat at the 2009 election.

56 year-old Foley worked as a financial planner before entering Parliament in 2003.

Foley was also a church pastor and a contemporary Christian singer/songwriter with 2 albums to his credit.

After narrowly losing National Party pre-selection, Foley won Maryborough as an Independent at the April 2003 Maryborough by-election following the resignation of John Kingston.

Foley has kept his word not to re-join the National Party, easily re-elected in 2004 when the endorsed National Party candidate had to withdraw his nomination at the last moment and romping home with 69.6% of the first prefence vote in 2006.

Foley was forced to preferences in 2009 but was still easily re-elected.

# Manchester United complete signing of Henrikh Mkhitaryan on four-year deal

Manchester United have announced the signing of the midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan for an undisclosed fee believed to be £30m.

Mkhitaryan has signed a four-year contract after joining from Borussia Dortmund, with the option for a further year.

"Manchester United is delighted to announce that Henrikh Mkhitaryan has completed his transfer from Borussia Dortmund.

Henrikh joins on a four-year contract with the option to extend for a further year," a statement on the club's website confirmed on Wednesday.

## José Mourinho's list of the youngsters he gave a debut to – fact or fiction?

Mkhitaryan, 27, made 140 appearances and scored 41 goals for Borussia Dortmund after joining them from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2013.

The midfielder is Armenia's all-time top scorer, with 19 goals in 59 appearances since his international debut in January 2007, and he has collected the Armenian footballer of the year award on five occasions.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan said: "I am very proud to join Manchester United, this move is a dream come true for me.

I am excited to play for a club with such an illustrious history and hope to be part of it for a long time.

I thank the trust the club and José Mourinho have put in me.

Finally, I believe playing for such a great club honours my father's memory, and the inspiration and drive he gave to me when I was young."

So happy to join @ManUtd, a club I always admired for its history & fans!

Mourinho added: "Henrikh is a very talented footballer who has been in such prolific form for both his club and his country.

He is a real team player with great skill, vision and also has a good eye for goal.

I am delighted he has chosen to sign for United.

I believe he will make an impact on the team very quickly as his style of play is suited to the Premier League.

We are all looking forward to working with him."

United's manager later told MUTV: "We have brought in the player who was voted the best player in the French league [Zlatan Ibrahimovic] and with Micki we have brought the player who was voted the best player of the Bundesliga.

He was voted not by the fans, not by the journalists but voted by the fellow players and that is what means more, I believe, because when your fellow players are the ones that choose you then it means a lot.

"Micki is a fantastic player and what I like more is something that is undeniable, which is the number of goals that he scores by not being a striker.

His number of goals per season is really high for somebody that is not a striker.

The number of assists is also very clear because it shows clearly his creativity, his vision and his concept of collective play, and that is something that I believe is really important for a club like us.

"We try to be dominant and will, for sure, face teams with a very defensive profile which is his capacity of acceleration of the game.

He has a change of speed with the ball and without the ball, and that is very, very important for a club like ours."

Mkhitaryan becomes United's third signing of the summer after deals for the Ivory Coast defender Eric Bailly and the former Sweden captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Mkhitaryan plays mainly as an attacking midfielder, but can also be deployed as a wide midfielder. Born in Yerevan, Mkhitaryan began his senior career at local club Pyunik at age 17, and was instrumental in the side's success in domestic competition, winning four successive Armenian Premier League titles and an Armenian Cup. His success caught the attention of Ukrainian side Metalurh Donetsk, where he remained for a singular season before transferring to perennial Ukrainian Premier League champions and city rivals Shakhtar Donetsk in 2010, for a fee of €6.1 million.
 During his time at Shakhtar, Mkhitaryan became renowned for his goalscoring prowess and footballing intelligence, and gained comparisons to Zinedine Zidane. Mkhitaryan would register a goal involvement every 0.75 games at Shakhtar, including a league record goal scoring total of 25 in 2012–13, while also being named Ukrainian Premier League Footballer of the Year. After achieving a domestic double in three of his four seasons in Shakhtar, his exploits in Ukraine eventually attracted Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund, who signed the player after protracted negotiations for a club-record fee of €27.5 million, making him the most expensive Armenian player of all time.
 In Germany, Mkhitaryan established himself as one of the best midfielders in Europe, with his creative and goalscoring abilities firing Dortmund to a DFL-Supercup in 2014. During the following campaign, he registered the most number of assists in the Bundesliga, with 15, which ranked him second for the most in Europe.


After the Second World War, European women once again became involved in peace initiatives, mainly as a result of the Cold War, while from the 1960s the Vietnam War led to renewed interest in the United States.

Moreover, some existing international women's organisations turned towards peace work in the mid-1920s and 1930s.

After 1945, European women's peace work was confronted with new political constellations and global perspectives.

Campaigning against the arms race led to new activities which were less formally organised but influenced female pacifism in many countries.

In feminist pacifist discourse, peace was always linked to other topics which were seen as reciprocal, influential and highly important for future peacekeeping, such as women's rights, democracy, nutrition and socioeconomic contexts, education or environmentalism.

List of women pacifists and peace activists

Women have been active in peace movements since the 19th century. After the First World War broke out in 1914, many women's organizations became involved in peace activities. In 1915, the International Congress of Women in the Hague brought together representatives from women's associations in several countries, leading to the establishment of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. This in turn led to national chapters which continued their work in the 1920s and 1930s.


As a result of the formation of the WTC Cup both the WTCC in its current format and the TCR International Series would be discontinued immediately.

# World Touring Car Cup made official as WTCC, TCR combine in two-year deal

The new FIA World Touring Car Cup has been officially confirmed after a deal was reached to bring the World Touring Car Championship and the TCR International Series together.

Approved at the latest meeting of the FIA's World Motorsport Council in Paris, the new series will run for at least the next two years after an agreement was signed between the FIA, Eurosport Events and WSC Ltd.

Eurosport Events will take on the role of promoter of the series, with the technical regulations created by WSC being licensed for two years as the new FIA WTCR Regulations – which will be frozen until the end of 2019.

Only TCR cars homologated by WSC and given an FIA WTCR passport from the FIA will be eligible to compete in the series, with the FIA and TCR technical departments determining the Balance of Performance system to be used.

No manufacturer entries are permitted, just as in the TCR International Series, with no manufacturers' title awarded, with the FIA WTCR confirmed as being for privateer teams only.

Two FIA World Cup titles will be awarded for drivers and teams, with the existing World Touring Car Championship and the TCR International Series being discontinued in 2018 and 2019.

The FIA European Touring Car Cup will no longer run, effectively replaced by the new TCR Europe Series, which will be promoted by WSC Ltd, the promoter of the now defunct TCR International Series.

In total, 26 full season entries will be accepted into the new series with priority being given to teams already competing in the WTCC and TCR International Series.

Two wildcard entries will be permitted at each event on the calendar at the discretion of Eurosport Events and the FIA.

Teams have to field a minimum of two cars, with an entry fee of 150,000 EUR for a two-car team.

"We are very proud of this agreement that fully respects the very spirit of TCR," WSC CEO Marcello Lotti said.

"The association with such an experienced promoter as Eurosport Events together with the FIA label on the WTCR represent the ultimate recognition for the TCR concept that we launched three years ago and hasn't stopped growing since."

François Ribeiro, head of Eurosport Events, was also pleased to confirm the long-expected tie-up, which ensures the continuation of a touring car series at the highest global level.

"The combination of the TCR technical regulations, the expertise and neutrality of the FIA and its stringent sporting rules and procedures, plus the promotional strength of Eurosport Events gained since 2005 will deliver a highly competitive grid, exciting racing and a fan-friendly format that can only drive success," he said.

Towering Liberian striker Patrick Ronaldinho Wleh has returned to the PKNS Football Club after a yearlong loan with Malaysia's most successful club, Selangor FA.

Prior to the 2016 Malaysia Super League season, Wleh joined Selangor on a loan.

PKNS had failed to qualify for the 2016 Malaysia Super League after finishing third in the 2015 Malaysia Premier League season and with Selangor releasing Brazilian striker Paula Lucrecio, it was an opportunity for Wleh, who had dreamt of playing for Selangor, to join the club.

The 25-year-old kicked off his career with Selangor on a high note, netting seven goals in five appearances.

However, there were disappointments during the end of the season when he struggled to score at his usual frequency.

He finished his Selangor career with eight assists and 19 goals in 37 appearances.

Still, Wleh led the team in both categories.

Wleh, who missed out the chance of winning the Malaysia Cup with Selangor following their penalty shootout defeat to Kedah in the final, told The Bush Chicken he's happy to be back with PKNS.

While he is grateful for his time with Selangor, he hopes he can help PKNS get the needed result in the upcoming season.

"I'm hoping to help the team win this year," Wleh said.

"The Super League kicks off soon and we are working harder to get the best results.

It won't be an easy task, but we are preparing for it.

With the team qualifying for the Super League last year, I believe we can keep that focus and achieve our goals this year."

Although PKNS will be without some of their key players that helped them reach the Super League, Wleh believes the team can get a better result with the caliber of players PKNS has.

"Yes, it's true that we have lost some key players, especially those who were the key figures in the team's promotion last year," Wleh said.

"But I believe with the players on hand, we can get a better result.

Players come and go, but if a team prepares well, they get better than the past.

The team has brought in some good players that I believe in.

I've seen their inputs during training and I strongly believe we will have the best results."

During the pre-season planning, P. Maniam also added some new local players for the season. Among them are: Afiq Azmi (Negeri Sembilan), Halim Zainal (Kuala Lumpur), K. Satish (PKNS), Fairuz Abdul Aziz (AirAsia FC) and Nurshamil Abd Ghani, a player who is on loan from Melaka United.
 On December 6, S. Subramaniam was released by Selangor. Azmi Muslim left the club on the same day, and was transferred to PKNS FC after three years with the Red Giants. Ahmad Hazwan Bakri and R. Gopinathan were sold to Johor Darul Ta'zim for a fee of RM1 million (Malaysian ringgit), while Nazmi Faiz Mansor had already signed an agreement to join JDT when he was with Selangor FA last season. The following day, Shahrom Kalam, and Hafiz Kamal switched sides and joined Perak this season for an undisclosed fee, while Hadi Yahya joined them on a free transfer.
 P. Maniam also added new foreign players from Liberia and Romania, Francis Forkey Doe and Victoraș Astafei to replace foreign players from last season, Mauro Olivi and Patrick Wleh, whose contracts were not renewed for the current season. Patrick Wleh returned to PKNS FC following the end of his loan spell after Selangor decided not to make the loan move a permanent deal.


The forest has a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, frequent in spruce, douglas fir, and pine.

Canadian ContentWarning: Name field for this section is disabled or deleted.

Forests for the World in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada is a 106 hectare demonstration forest with 15 (8.5 mi.) kilometres of hiking trails.

The park, established in 1986, enables adventurers to learn about the various forest eco systems and the flora and fauna that thrive in the Fraser - Nechako Plateau region.

Over the years thousands of spruce, pine and Douglas fir trees have been planted throughout the park.

And... some areas have been left in their natural state for regeneration.

Both methods of reforestation provides an opportunity to the view the difference between a natural and a managed forest.

The extensive trail system is suitable for all ages and abilities.

Some sections of the trail system are wheelchair and baby stroller friendly while other hiking trails involve some elevation gain with tree roots and boulders.

The main trail to Shane Lake is best suited for all groups and abilities as it is very well maintained.

At Shane Lake there are many amenities to ensure a good time.

There are picnic tables, a picnic shelter, a BBQ pit, fire pits, pit toilets and a viewing platform.

The trails vary in length and elevation gain with all of them being loop trails.

Some of the trails are interpretive routes with informative signs located along the trail while others are not.

These signs provide information about the wildlife, plants, shrubs and tress of a healthy forest.

The trails in the Forests for the World Park include the Western Loop Interpretive Trail, the Southern Loop Interpretive Trail, Reflection Lake Loop Trail, the Eastern Boundary Loop Trail and the Shane Lake Loop Trail.

Also connecting to the Forests for the World Park is the Cranbrook Greenway Trail - another trail in the area connecting Otway to UNBC to Blue Spruce.

Shane Lake and Reflection Lake connect to the trail system in the park.

Shane Lake is a popular gathering spot and wildlife viewing destination.

There is a viewing platform and a short floating boardwalk path on Shane Lake so to get a good look of the landscape and wildlife.

Beaver live on the lake.. and Moose and migratory birds visit the lake on a regular basis.

The Upper Lookout at the top of Cranbrook Hill provides a good view of the Prince George community, the surrounding valley and the many blocks of farmland.

The lower viewpoint is located on the Shane Lake Loop Trail.

It provides views also just not as far reaching.

Forests for the World is a popular community park in the community.

A park that attracts allot of people and attention.

It is important to manage your garbage in this park so to leave the park in good condition for the next person to enjoy.

To make this easier there are plenty of garbage cans located along the routes in the park.

The widest use of the notation is in presenting the Golden Numbers, 1 - 19 on Runic calendars (Danish: "kalenderstave", Swedish: "runstavar", Norwegian: "kalenderstavar", also known as "clogs").

(meta data) TITLE: Rune calendars – Gangleri – articles

Many years ago when I was reading F.E. Farwerck's Noord-Europese Mysteriën for the first time and when I saw the "stafkalender" ("stave calendar") on page 104 (see above), I was captured by this strange image.

The writer doesn't give a whole lot of information.

The image contains parts of the months December and January of what is said to be a calendar.

Farwerck only refers to the inverted horn which supposedly marks the end of the 12 days period after the winter solstice (on 12 January?).

When I noticed that there are more of such 'rune calendars' and they are also similar to so-called 'farmers calendars' I wondered what they would mean.

Other calendars look alike, but they obviously evolved.

The first appears to be a runestone Norwegian, or perhaps English in origin, this item is made from a porpoise jawbone.

The inscription is in a mixture of Old Norse and Northumbrian runes.

The drawing (from a 17th century woodcut) is full scale viewed at 800×600 screen-size" (source).

The second is a so called "clog almanac".

"Clog" means "worked wood" and is still the English term for wooden shoes.

The image shows four sides of a piece of wood (a side for each season).

The last is the relatively famous MS 2913, from Uvdal, Norway, 1636.

Also you have "primstav"s, a Northern name for such calenders.

I asked around a bit how to read such a calendar, but it seemed that nobody could get me an answer.

As you can already see above, there are different kinds of calendars, which are more or less similar.

According to Ole Worm (1588-1654) (see my Northern Renaissance article) there are calendars on rune-stones, such as his drawing suggests.

Also Worm wrote the Computus Runicus explaining these calendars.

Unfortunately the text is hand-written and in Latin, but I did get a few clues from it.

It is not known how old the first of such calendars is, but the point that they may have been carved in stones, suggests that they could find their origin with the Vikings who transported them to the lands where they travelled.

The "clog almanacs" date back to at least 1200.

Scroll back a second to the image that I opened with.

As you can see there clearly, the calendar consists of three lines, most of these calendars do, whether they are rune-, clog-, or farmers calendars.

Explaining what you see there is not too hard.

A description of the colourfull calendar on the site Stavacademy says: "calendar with golden numbers, feastdays, occupations of the months and hours of light and darkness, table with good and evil days ".

The most important line is the middle line.

If you watch closely, you will see that every time a list of seven is repeated.

Of course you will immediately think of the days of the week.

Some people say that a certain rune, refers to a certain day, but this is not true.

The calendars are (as we will see later) perpetual calendars and of course 1 January is not always a Sunday.

The seven runes (and as you can see on the colourfull Uvdal calender, they were later replaced by letters and/or numbers) are just a way of counting days.

Then when we take a look at the upper line, it is obvious that they refer to festive days, especially when you look at the Uvdal calendar.

Naturally these festive days were originally 'pagan' feasts and important events in the lifes of farmers (sowing, harvesting periods, etc.), but when Christianity came, they were replaced by Christian feasts.

You can clearly see Epiphany on the Uvdal calendar (three crowns on 6 January).

To figure out the rest, would take a lot of work, but now you get the idea…!

Before the Christian saints occupied the upper line, there were all kinds of symbols refering to festivies.

It is impossible to figure them all out, but the website symbols.com has a few explanations (they think a certain rune is a certain day btw):

Needless to see that not every symbol is in every calender, but here you may get an idea of how a calendar like this is built.

Symbols referring to days of celebration.

It seems that this site tried to explain such symbols, but unfortunately, the image is very blurry.

Maybe like yours, my eye fell on the remarks "golden number of" which appears a few times in this table.

There I had a clue about the bottom line of the calendars.

Golden numbers refer to the position of the moon compared to that of the sun.

The four-week moon-cycle does no run exactly the same as the sun's year cycle.

It takes 19 years for the moon to be on the same positions, meaning, every 19 years, the full moons are on the same days.

If this is the case, a year has the golden number 1, the next year, 2, etc. and there are 19 golden numbers.

The Udval calendar makes a perfect example.

The symbols in the bottom line are nothing more than numbers:

There are other varieties to this theme of course, but you can easily recognise the numbers once you get the idea.

Unfortunately many images (like the one I started with) do not cover enough months to find out if the figures on the bottom line are indeed the golden numbers, but I think often they are.

The numbers say on which day the full moon falls in the year with that particular golden number.

So if 16 is on 3 February, then in golden year 16, the full moon is on that day.

You have to pay attention to know in what year you are!

Also I must shortly add, the system is not waterproof, every 300 years one day must be added in order to keep things correct.

Many, but not all of the calendars have a circle somewhere, sometimes one for each month, sometimes just one.

In case of the Udval calendar they are very obvious, because besides the circle, 'the clue' is given in text.

January says: "Tagen 6:44" and "Natten 17:12".

Together this of course counts up to 24 hours, so there is 6 hours and 44 minutes of daylight in January and 17 hours and 12 minutes of nighttime (the calendar of course is made in Scandinavia!).

The same goes with the calendar I opened with.

There is a circle with little stripes, counting upto 23.

Whole hours, the minutes are not mentioned.

That I am right, proves because above the circle are the numbers 19 (left of the Raido rune) and 4.

But since things can't be that easy, this theory of mine does not work with the rune-stone.

That circle has 28 runes around, divided 7 groups of four, so this more likely refers to the cycle of the moon.

Other calendars also have this moon-circle.

I may not have given you a detailed explanation of every stave-, rune-, clog-, or farmers calendar, because it is impossible to figure out all the symbols for the feasts.

The structure is very clear though, so you can start having a look at them and trying to figure one out yourself.

There are many, many examples on the internet.

Furthermore there are three good articles (if you can read them).

The Viking Answer Lady answers a question about "primstav"s.

The magnificent Arild Hauge's Rune page not only has tons of rune-stone photos, but also an article about rune-calendars in Swedish and…

Ole Worms' Computus Runicus scanned in and put online.

I only used a few, if you want more images, use Google: 1, 2.

← (Runic) magical formulae Cubic stones from the sky

I just wanted to make you aware of the fact that Arild Hauge's site is in Norwegian and some English, not Swedish.

Very nice article, I have been studying the rune-staves for some years and there were some facts I had not run into before.

The "Golden numbers" of the lunar cycle are marked in Scandinavia with the 16 runes of the futhark + three additional runes (arlaug, tvimadr and belgthorn).

The feast days marked vary of course according to region, what saints are venerated there, and when the different works of the farm took place.

In southern Finland, for instance, harvest began at st.Laurentius day, and was expected to be over by Michaelmas, when the farm hands got their holidays.

Here is a table with a cycle of 504 years, used for calculating the position of Easter:

A good read been looking into runic calendars and such for a while, other readers may find theses websites of useful.

The southesk and other rune prime-staves.

Also stumble on this site the Franks Casket A Magic Spell, "powered by" a Luni-Solar Calendar.

I have a book about the Franks casket, but I don't remember that the author found a rune calendar on it, even when his piece of a rune calendar was the start of my investigation of the subject.

Does anyone know where I can buy a primstav calendar?

Donna, sorry for the slow reply, but I have been on holidays.

Two years ago I visited the Nationalmuseet, the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen and the shop there sold replicas of primstavs that they have in their collection.

The runic inscriptions of the Franks Casket (7th century) seem to constitute a lunisolar calendar.

While the number of runes may be seen as a 10 year solar calendar, their runic value stands for the lunar counterpart.

Both calendars seem to be "synchronized" by a Latin fragment which is inserted into the Anglo-Saxon text.

It consists of 20 letters (12 uncials, 2 half uncials, 6 runes), thus creating a sequence of ordinary and embolismic years.

If we figure the value of this text in the runic way we get 238.

A Metonic circle of 19 years counts 235 lunations; in this particular case we need 3 lunations to take us from Midwinter to Easter.

It has been a long time since I wrote this article.

Seven years ago I migrated my website from html to what you see now, so the text older than 2007.

I remember having a copy of the Uvdal calandar in the toilet so I had something to think about when I was there anyway.

Thinking about it, I remember that I used to have a link to an English website about the Franks Casket when I reviewed Frans Farwerck's little book in which he spends 40 pages to the casket, but when I found out that the link was broken, I apparently found the English version of your website.

Farwerck only writes about the right panel in which he sees an initiation ritual.

It is nice to hear that the casket also has a place in my text above.

Is it ok if I use your info for English research on the Anglo-Saxon period.

I'm researching about runes and runic calendars.

Jennifer, if your wish refers to my site, feel free to do so, with referrence to the source, if adopted.

A printed version was published in Asterisk.

Alfred Becker, A Magic Spell "powered by" a Lunisolar Calendar," Asterisk, A Quarterly Journal of Historical English Studies, 15 (2006), 55 -73.

As Goethe says in and by(?) Faust: »Denn was man schwarz auf weiß besitzt, kann man getrost nach Hause tragen.«

Therefore, the teacher is having us learn some information about the time period and share our information with the class.

You write: "this theory of mine does not work with the rune-stone.

Other calendars also have this moon-circle."

You need to read "Genesis of Genesis" — it will explain the 28 and 7 … plus how it links to the 19 year cycle they used.

Unlike the Roman notation, there are only symbols for numbers one ("I") and five ("U"). In inscriptions the notches are placed vertically on the stem or "stav" of the rune.   The number 4 is represented by four horizontal lines on the stem, 5 is represented by what looks like an inverted letter U. 10 is represented by two U's opposing each other. Numbers up to 19, or even 20, can be represented by a combination of I's and U's, just like the Roman numerals are represented by combinations of I's and V's. (A Roman 10 is represented by two V's opposing each other).
