Looking for a justification

Malacanang, through Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita, has announced that it favors opening the Philippine mass media to foreign ownership through the Constitutional amendments it has been campaigning for. It had coyly avoided the issue in the past. Apparently it now thinks it necessary to declare in favor of foreign media ownership, on the assumption that the mass media are just another resource for exploitation, like the country’s mineral resources.

The proposal to amend Paragraph 1 of Section 11, Article XVI (General Provisions) of the Constitution (“The ownership and management of mass media shall be limited to citizens of the Philippines, or to corporations, cooperatives or associations, wholly-owned and managed by such citizens”) isn’t new. Foreign media ownership, said its proponents in the defunct Estrada regime, would broaden press freedom. It would also raise salaries and help reduce corruption among media practitioners.

These claims were shot down either for being invalid, for ignoring what’s actually happening in countries where global media conglomerates have bought into local media, or for putting hoped-for benefits for practitioners ahead of the media’s role in providing the public relevant information.

The only thing foreign media ownership has broadened in such countries as Australia– where media mogul Rupert Murdoch (Australian-born, but a US citizen) controls, among others, some 70 percent of the metropolitan press– is coverage of trivia, say thoughtful observers. The Australian journalist David Bowman, in his book The Captive Press, describes the Australian press as “without any underlying seriousness of purpose, except to make maximum profit…”

In the United Kingdom, Murdoch tabloids are also dumbing down the public with their mindless coverage of royal high-jinks and celebrity gossip. “Newspapers are getting dumber,” said Bowman. “They are increasingly filled with sensation, rumor, [press agentry] and bloated trivialities at the expense of significant facts.”

It’s easy to understand why. The focus being profit, the global media conglomerates cater to the lowest common denominator. This also happens in the Philippines, but with a difference. Most of them privately-owned, local media organizations dispense their share of trivia daily. But they do report and discuss public issues as well. The primary reason is that these issues are important to Filipino media owners themselves. You can’t say that of multinational media whose commitments are global—or everywhere, and therefore nowhere.

The framers of the 1987 Constitution thus knew what they were doing when they limited ownership and management of the mass media to Filipinos. No one can argue that foreign media companies can boost media salaries. But it won’t necessarily reform corrupt practitioners, some of whom are the highest paid in the country. Low salaries are not the only reason for media corruption. A culture that assumes that media people are entitled to all sorts of perks including easy money is the primary culprit. Foreign ownership can’t cure that.

But there are other issues to consider. Mass media scholar Dennis McQuail points out that the media can “serve to repress as well as to liberate, to unite as well as fragment society…and promote and hold back change.” The media also “attract and direct public attention,” “persuade in matters of opinion and belief,” “influence behavior,” “structure definitions of reality,” “confer status and legitimacy,” and “inform quickly and extensively.”

It should be obvious that what reality and whose reality is presented through the media are decided by who own and control them. The framers of the 1987 Constitution probably had that in mind.

The issues that confront nations are in these times mediated primarily by the mass media, which if controlled by competing interests can present a plurality of views rather than a single, dominant perspective. Foreign dominance can lead to precisely such a perspective—the viewpoint of the global media giants—divorced from such Filipino concerns as, for example, the integrity of the electoral system, and mending the creaky economy.

The question of ownership is thus critical in any enterprise, but especially so in the mass media. It’s a complex issue that can’t be simplified. And yet the most Ermita can say in favor of foreign media ownership is that it will “improve their management,” and Filipino media owners “do not have enough capital to fix up (sic) mass media.”

In addition to being vague (in what way will management of the media improve?), the first statement assumes that bad management is the media’s main problem and that Filipino managers lack management skills. Ermita’s “no capital” assumption forgets that the biggest media organizations in the country are bankrolled by huge corporations, and that the two leading broadcast networks make billions yearly.

It figures. Like many of its policies, the Palace position is a pre-ordained one looking for a justification, much like a character in search of a play.

Robert Cohn
August 3, 2004

"I grew up in St. Louis. At age ten, I put out the Cohn Times. It had a circulation of four -- my own family. In college, I was editor of Student Life, the undergraduate newspaper. I later became editor of my law school paper, The Writ.

"I graduated from Washington University with a degree in English in 1961. I got my JD [doctorate in law] in 1964. I subsequently earned additional bachelor degrees in Political Science and Philosophy.

"Out of law school, I worked for five years for a county elected official as a press secretary, speech writer and staff attorney.

"In 1969, I was offered an opportunity to take a job at the Jewish Light for a couple of years as a stepping stone. Here I am 35 years later.

"I took over July 1, 1969."

"Are you a Federation paper?"

"We are affiliated with our Jewish Federation. From 1947-63, our publication was called the St. Louis Light. It was a house organ. It was directly published by the Communications department of the Jewish Federation. It didn't pretend to be anything other than a vehicle to promote the campaign.

"In 1963, some high powered people in the Communications department and in journalism recommended we follow the model in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in which Jewish Federation papers would have their own autonomous boards. So there would be a layer of authority in between the Federation and the editor. That arrangement was put in place in March of 1963 and we became the St. Louis Jewish Light. I don't report to anyone at Federation. My boss is the board at the St. Louis Jewish Light."

"What have you loved and what have you hated about your career in Jewish journalism?"

"I've even loved the stuff I've hated. I'll be retiring at the end of this calendar year. What I've loved is to have my words taken seriously. If I had worked at The New York Times, I might've been assigned one beat for 35 years. Here I've been able to do editorials, hard news, interviews, reviews of books, plays and films. When people in my generation pass away, and I've known them since high school, I'm able to do a more personal obit.

"When you first start out, you only want to do the glamorous things. You realize after a while that every aspect of your job can be interesting and challenging if you just have the right attitude.

"But obviously bureaucratic pressures, being caught in the middle of things, occasionally being targeted by different groups in the community... There was a serious challenge in the 1980s over Operation Moses and Operation Solomon. The Ethiopian and Sudanese governments were looking the other way as their Jews were getting out [to Israel]. The Jewish press was warned that if we broke that story, it would stop that immigration. I was president of the American Jewish Press Association. I encouraged my colleagues to respect the request. Unfortunately, a little West Bank newsletter broke the story. That was picked up by Jewish papers in New York and Washington. Then The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, which had been respecting the embargo, they broke the story and it stopped the immigration for a couple of years.

"I came up with something called Jews Before News. An effort that was successful for two years was blown and people I'm sure starved to death as a result.

"There were a few in the organization who felt that news was news and we shouldn't be directed by Jewish bureaucracy. While I would normally agree, this was an exception. I was supported in this view by Gary Rosenblatt, certainly one of the more independent-minded editors around."

"Gary seems to view Jewish journalism as another form of Jewish service, such as working at the Federation."

"He's worked on both sides of the aisle. He worked for the Baltimore Jewish Times, which was the flagship independent paper. It is owned by the Burger family. They were successful commercially and publisher Charles (Chuck) Buerger gave Gary carte blanche to go where the news was. He did an aggressive investigative report on the Simon Wiesenthal Center that was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize. He won countless journalism awards. He has the credentials to make those comments. He's been working for The Jewish Week (NY) for a decade, which is still associated with the Federation/UJA of New York City."

Robert, who served as president of his Reform temple (Shaare Emeth, the largest synagogue in St. Louis), says he's fulfilled his vision for the paper. "I wanted it to be more of a literary intellectual paper with Op/Ed pieces. I resisted all kinds of pressure not to cover Meir Kahane when he was in town or people on the far left. I'll be leaving from here to cover a group from the International Solidarity and Stop the Wall movement and a counter-demonstration. We covered an American Nazi party rally and there were a group of communists counter-demonstrating."

"What's unique about the St. Louis Jewish community?"

"That most people grew up in St. Louis. The old cliche is that it is more important where you went to high school in St. Louis than where you went to college. I live in University City, one of the oldest Jewish communities in St. Louis. We have a sense of living in a mostly Jewish community. There are about 60,000 Jews living in St. Louis. The majority are natives. There has been an influx of Jews from other parts of the country and from the former Soviet Union. It's a fairly unified community. There's cordiality between the different streams. The Orthodox chief rabbi, Shalom Rifkin, is a kindly person who gets along well with his non-Orthodox colleagues. We don't have a lot of the bitter divisiveness that may characterize other communities. The issues between the old German and Russian populations was pretty resolved by the mid '50s. The 'Our Crowd' group that Stephen Birmingham describes set up all the institutions and then you had a later influx like my mom's family from Eastern Europe. There are 22 congregations ranging from Agudath Israel to Jewish Renewal."

"How did you like going to AJPA conferences?"

"I loved it. I have three families. My own immediate family. My staff at the Jewish Light. And all these people you interviewed, particularly Gary Rosenblatt and Marc Klein. These are among my best friends. When you've traveled around the world and to Israel 18 times with people like Marc and Gary, you get to be tight with them. I was on a unique trip to Switzerland with Marc Klein. This leader there invited the officers of the AJPA. I've been to about 30 different countries, including Brazil, South Africa, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Soviet Union. Places I'd never have visited if I had practiced law. I was president of the AJPA nine times."

"How did you feel about the ethics of taking comp trips?"

"It didn't become a major issue. Jewish journalism when we first came into it was a mom-and-pop operation. There were trips that were subsidized by the Jewish Agency or by Israel Bonds. There was a 1976 trip to South Africa that was all expenses paid (sponsored by the South African tourism agency and Pan American Airlines). It was the year of the Suweto riots. It was something we did without thinking about it. Then some of the daily newspapers began to adopt a strict policy of not taking freebie trips. Because of our budgetary challenges and the smallness of our staffs... Usually they bought you there and they didn't try to control what you'd write. There were stories all over the ballpark. It didn't affect how we would cover it. It just got us to a particular location, so we didn't have much of a problem with that."

"If you were to write a memoir about your time at the Jewish Light, what would be some of your themes?"

"I offer a lot of classes to kids in communications departments in different universities about you never know where you are going to end up. I intended to practice law. I was always interested in journalism. I ended up using both skills. I'm the head of the ethics committee of the AJPA. During the important events that affected world Jewry, I felt like I was in a position to do something within my own profession that related to my Jewishness.

"It's also a huge responsibility. Even this interview, where I get quoted in a book. I get calls about the Mel Gibson movie The Passion of the Christ. I'm a spokesperson for the Jewish community about these important issues.

"I interviewed Uri Geller who seemed to really bend spoons. Allen Ginsberg talked about how he expressed his Jewishness through his poetry and life. Adin Steinsaltz, Moshe Dayan, Abba Eban, Golda Meir, Natan Sharansky, Simon Wiesenthal. I interviewed Mordecai Richler, the Philip Roth of Canada. I was having a fantastic interview. I had my tape recorder going. I wasn't taking notes because I wanted the thrill of just talking to him. Then I discovered I had my tape recorder on pause the whole time. I humiliatingly called him and he said, Bob, just come on over and we'll just do it again. I had been told Abba Eban was distant and aloof and I found him kind and accommodating. Elie Wiesel, whenever I would send him a clipping of something I had done, he would always, without exception, send back a handwritten note thanking me for quoting him accurately. These mythic figures ended up larger than life as well as accessible.

"Together with just the ordinary members of the community who have births, deaths, bar mitzvahs, weddings, engagements. Trying to work almost as a rabbi at this stage of my career when there are families in grief. It takes a certain tact to get the story right when you're writing about somebody who passed away."

"Do you run notices when Jews marry non-Jews?"

"We do. We recently approved running same-sex announcements. The intermarriage issue was resolved in 1969. We've taken a liberal approach. If a Jewish family wants to publish a life cycle, we don't inquire [if everyone involved is Jewish]. There were a few papers that tried to enforce a halachic definition of Jew. Did that mean that if somebody was buried and they didn't have a halachicly Jewish mother, we wouldn't run the announcement?"

"What are some of the most interesting things you've had to deal with on the ethics committee of the AJPA?"

"Some of it had to do with plagiarism. A lot of them involved ad scams. Somebody would run a boiler-room operation and will make calls on my advertisers. 'We're with the Jewish newspaper in town.' And an ad that might cost $75 in my paper, they'll get a bill for $350 from this phony publication. We finally got a five-year prison sentence on a guy on account of mail fraud for this type of practice. We've saved tens of thousands of dollars by quickly responding to these ad scams. I had instances of writers who were not paid by publications and usually a phone call or letter from me would get the job done. There were a few cases of people who didn't follow off-the-record rules. A lot of our work is done informally and behind the scenes. Over the years, we had to expel a couple of publications for not following [ethical guidelines]. We adopted some tough standards and now the different law enforcement agencies and Better Business Bureaus look to us like they would look to the ABA (American Bar Association) or AMA (American Medical Association)."

"If somebody got up and gave a speech before 200 people, but prefaced it by saying it was off the record, would you accept that?"

"Sure. That's standard journalistic courtesy. The joke used to be that in Jewish organizations, where they say something is off the record, it was something that was in last week's Jerusalem Post and yesterday's New York Times. In things that have been annoying, it is the real naivete on the part of Jewish leadership about the media in general and the tendency to stonewall things. There are breaking stories in the public domain and it redounds to their detriment than if they had come to the Jewish press first."

wedding photography in St. John's + beyond for passionate, adventurous, free-spirited couples

The Photographer

Hello hello! My name is Maddie and I'm super pumped that you're here!

Being so free spirited (super dorky) and a die-hard Newfoundland girl, I'm happiest when I'm in a boat, or on the road to somewhere. I'm usually found working in big cardigans and fluffy socks, while fending off playful kitty attacks from my crazy little Petunia! I still believe in the kinda love that lights your soul on fire, and dedicate my life to capturing it.

I LOVE: The Office (notice my mug in my head shot?) , food, my cat Petunia, and the ocean!!

I HATE: vegetables, wasps (YIKES), and abrupt endings to movies!

My photography is REAL. Raw, unfiltered, and all about super-beautiful love and emotion. Your life deserves to be captured, especially in a way that tells the true story. No awkward & fake posing here, people!

I take a documentary style approach to photography, stepping in when you need a helping hand, but also knowing when to step back to allow the real beauty of your love to unfold. I also firmly believe that having your connection captured should be truly FUN, and there's nothing I won't do or any adventure I won't go on with you to make sure that happens (seriously, I wear Blundstones to shoot weddings, I'm ALWAYS ready to rumble).

(PS- All are welcome here, love is love! I am an inclusive/LGBT+ friendly business!)

To get in touch, please fill out the form below! I can't wait to hear from you!

I do my best to answer all correspondence within 24-48 hours (unless I'm shooting a wedding in the middle of Newfoundland nowhere without cell service, hehe!)

Elopement and Wedding Collections range from 1300+tax - 4100+tax, with an average investment of 3199+tax.

thank you so much! i'm so excited to meet you! :)

Ranchero Pork Tacos

This is a super easy, yummy Mexican dish. I stumbled across this last fall in i think, Womans Day? not sure and I think they used a pork roast and who knows this is how I have been making it and it is a fav! It literally will take you 5 mins to dump a few cans in the crockpot, toss in your pork tenderloin and umm, umm good!
1 lg can Enchilada Sauce (Old El Paso)
1 can diced green chilies
pork tenderloin
1 onion, sliced thin
2 limes, juiced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (I hate cilantro, J loves so I leave off mine! He says it makes the dish!~ whatever!)
Serve with: warm corn tortillas, sour cream, shredded cheese & salsa
Dump enchilada sauce and chilies in a crock pot, add pork; spoon sauce over top. Cover and cook on low 8 to 10 hours until pork is very tender. 20 minutes before serving, toss onion slices with lime juice in a medium bowl. Let stand, 5mins. Dump into crockpot with cilantro if using let sit about 5-10mins. Serve and ENJOY!!

  1. Us Simple Girls says:

    Okay, I l–oo–vv–e some Mexican… this sounds DELISH! Though, I have to side w/your hubby on this one (mmm…cilantro!), I bet it would be good either way.

    Thanks for stopping by our blog! 🙂

Manchester City Council

The Lord Mayor’s Christmas Carol Concert 2017

Manchester Town Hall’s corridors will ring with festive cheer on Thursday 7 December at the Lord Mayor’s annual Christmas Carol Concert.

The building's splendid Great Hall will be filled with Yuletide spirit as the Lord Mayor of Manchester Councillor Eddy Newman invites visitors to share some Christmas cheer with a selection of traditional Christmas carols and hymns at the annual carol concert.

The concert is free of charge and a wonderful way to begin the Christmas season.

This year, the Rev’d Canon David Holgate of Manchester Cathedral, will introduce the items following the Lord Mayor's Christmas Message. Carols will be performed by the Our Manchester Choir, Manchester Cathedral Voluntary Choir and Saint John Fisher and Thomas More RC Primary School Choir from Benchill. They will be accompanied by the Blackley Brass Band and Richard Lowe will be playing the Great Hall Cavaille-Coll organ.

Lord Mayor of Manchester Councillor Eddy Newman said: ”The Christmas Carol concert has long been a highlight of the festive season in Manchester. I’d like to invite everyone to join me at the town hall to ring in Christmas, enjoy the wonderful yuletide performances and maybe even a mince pie or two."

After carols such as Hark! The Herald-Angels Sing and Good King Wenceslas and hymns including Come All Ye Faithful and While Shepherds Watch’d Their Flocks by Night , festivities will be concluded with tea, coffee and of course mince pies.

The Christmas Carol Concert also brings attention to the vital support The Lord Mayor's Charity provides to community projects across Manchester at Christmas and throughout the year, you can help a lot by giving a little at the end of the concert or simply text MANC17 £5 (or the amount you would like to donate) to 70070.

The Lord Mayor’s Carol Concert takes place Thursday 7 December 7pm until 8pm in the Great Hall at Manchester Town Hall. Everybody is welcome and entry is free.

Yoga and Bees

Send by emailSend by email

Over the next few months, we are sharing some of the final projects (~7,500 words) written by the graduate teachers from the ashram's recent 2015-17 Yoga Teacher Training Course.

This fourth in the series is from Reva entitled Yoga and Bees.  An excerpt from the introduction is given below, and the link to her full project is given at the bottom.

The starting point or this project is a personal one, I have been an initiate of the gynocentric European shamanic path; The Path of Pollen and of the Siddha Yoga tradition for over a decade. Both paths have given me a great deal and unsurprisingly their paths often meet and intersect. The project will briefly reveal how common threads run between Tantra and shamanism.

This project explores the relationship between the honey bee (Apis Mellifica) and yoga traditions, both from a philosophical and practical perspective. I will examine scriptural references to the bee, honey and nectar and consider why the bee has been chosen as a symbol for spiritual teachings for so many centuries. In this exploration I will examine why the honey bee is so widely used in these ancient sacred texts and what this means in terms of our relationship to the honey bee. What does this suggest about the honey bee? What can we learn from these winged beings? I will also consider some of the practices that relate to the life of the honey bee. This will include reference to the little known European shamanic tradition; The Path of Pollen which has much in common with the esoteric yogic traditions.

SONS OF ANARCHY 4.11 ‘Call of Duty’

Episode Title: "Call of Duty"

Writers: Liz Sagal & Gladys Rodriguez

Director: Gwyneth Horder-Payton

Previously on "Sons of Anarchy":

Having already killed Piney (William Lucking) to protect the secrets in John Teller's Irish letters, Clay Morrow (Ron Perlman) paid his allies in the Galindos cartel a hefty sum to eliminate Dr. Tara Knowles (Maggie Siff), the fiancee of his step-son, Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam) and the mother of Jax's children. While accompanying Tara on a trip to Oregon, Jax was present when the hitmen tried to grab Tara and he narrowly managed to save her, but Tara's hand was seriously injured in the process. Jax and SAMCRO assumed that the attempted hit was the work of the Lobos Sonora cartel, but Clay's wife, Gemma Teller Morrow (Katey Sagal) suspected the truth.

Gemma confronted Clay about his hit on Tara and the two came to blows. Gemma got at least one good punch in, but Clay got the upper hand and beat her senseless. Clay also got a refund of his money from Romeo (Danny Trejo), but he was told that Tara still had to die because Clay had told the Galindos cartel that she was a threat to expose them. At the hospital, Tara and Jax were told that the damage to her hand was extensive and that it may cost Tara her medical career. Tara broke down in despair and she sent Jax away. Later, former Sheriff Wayne Unser (Dayton Callie) came across Gemma and saw how badly bruised her face was.

Unser wanted to turn Clay into Sheriff Eli Roosevelt (Rockmond Dunbar) and the local police, but Gemma had a better idea: She said that Clay should die at "the hands of the son."

In the hospital, Tara wakes up to find Jax at her bedside. She apologizes for losing it the day before, but she doesn't believe any hospital will want her if she can't perform surgery. Jax tells her that the plan to get out of Charming and SAMCRO is still in place, she just has to believe in him. At Clay's home, Unser has stayed the night with Gemma and he asks her what they should do next. She tells Unser to continue shaping Piney's murder scene to blow back on the Lobos and she'll deal with Clay. At the SAMCRO clubhouse, Tig (Kim Coates) notes the bruises on Clay's face and Clay refuses to discuss them.

Tig pushes back and tells Clay that the reason he's losing the club is because he has shut everyone out. At the hospital, Gemma tries to cover up her injuries, but the administrator, Margaret (McNally Sagal) takes sympathy on Gemma and she tells her that's why Jax and Tara have to get out of SAMCRO. Margaret reveals that there is still one hospital that wants Tara in spite of her injury and she urges Gemma to let them go. When Jax sees his mom, he's ready to kill Clay. But she tells him that she'll handle her husband. Shortly thereafter, Jax's ex-love, Wendy (Drea De Mateo) visits Tara and reveals that she's moved back to Charming and she wants to spend time with her son, Abel.

Tara angrily reminds Wendy that she gave up her parental rights before she disappeared into rehab, but Wendy seems eager to challenge that. After she leaves, Tara goes berserk and smashes her injured hand against the table again and again. Elsewhere, Kozik (Kenny Johnson) returns to the Sons with new heavy ordinance from their Irish connections. 50 caliber guns, grenade launchers… it's impressive and even the dejected Jean Carlos "Juice" Ortiz (Theo Rossi) seems to enjoy seeing the "Call of Duty" weapons. At the same time, Jax takes Clay aside and lets him know that he won't let what happened to Gemma slide.

At the hospital, Gemma is horrified to see Tara wheeled back into surgery and she soon learns that Tara was upset by Wendy's visit. Elsewhere, the Galindos show Jax the bodies of two Lobos fighters and say that these were the men who attacked Tara. Jax says that there was a third man and he wants to be with them when they take out the Lobos. In a private meeting, Jax tells his SAMCRO brothers that they don't have to come with him, but to a man they are all in. But before they can meet the Galindos, Oswald arrives and tells Clay that Mayor Hale has secured the Charming Heights funding from the Asian investors who were supposed to just string him along.

Incensed, Clay sends Opie (Ryan Hurst), Bobby (Mark Boone Jr.) and Tig to find Georgie (Tom Arnold) and eliminate him if he's reneged on his promise. In prison, Assistant U.S. District Attorney Lincoln Potter (Ray McKinnon) meets with Big Otto Delaney (Kurt Sutter), who demands some answers before they continue to speak. Lincoln tells him about the RICO case against the Real IRA and the Galindos, using SAMCRO as a way in. Otto then lays out several demands, including an execution for himself as soon as possible and in return he'll give Bobby to Lincoln. But Otto won't start talking without the agreement in writing.

SAMCRO and their Galindos associates arrive at the Lobos encampment and they easily dispatch the first group of fighters that they find. Unfortunately, it was just an outpost for the main camp. When SAMCRO and the Galindos advance towards the woods, Clay, Romeo, Juice and others are pined down in a minefield. Kozik is among the first to die. With few options, Jax sends word to bring the heavy ordinance to them against the wishes of the Irish. At the adult film studio, Bobby and his guys learn where to find Georgie and Opie coldly breaks things off with his wife, Lyla (Winter Ave Zoli) after she ran out on him.

Bobby and the guys locate Georgie and they learn that the Asian investors acted without his knowledge. As they prepare to kill Georgie, Bobby gets him to confess to his part in Luanne's murder. Then Opie and Tig kill him. Back in the woods, Jax and the rest of the club use the rocket propelled grenade launchers to blast the hell out of the Lobos and wipe them out. While trying to get Clay and the others out of the mine field safely, both Jax and Chibs (Tommy Flanagan) are alarmed by how careless Juice is about leaving the place in one piece.

Back in Charming, Gemma tricks Wendy into meeting with her and warns her to back off from Jax and Tara. In the aftermath of the battle, Juice is shaken to learn that Kozik had family and Jax and Chibs privately share their concern for Juice's mental state. At the Teller Morrow garage, Clay tries to intimidate Unser into leaving, but the former Sheriff warns Clay that he will kill him if he ever hurts Gemma again. In the club house restroom, Chibs finally gets Juice to open up and reveal Roosevelt's blackmail about his black father, but Chibs laughs it off and tells him to remind the Sheriff to "eff off" the next time he sees him. Juice seems reassured, but once Chibs is gone he calls Lincoln to check in.

At the bar, Tig is saddened to hear about Kozik and they drink to his memory. At the prison, Otto is presented with the written guarantee of his demands, except the privileges for his friend, Lenny. Once again, he refuses to sign anything until Lincoln delivers on that. At the compound, Jax and Opie have another argument before Opie leaves to check in on his father, Piney. Unser follows Opie in his own car. Gemma tells Jax what happened to Tara at the hospital and he races to be with her. Tig finally sees Gemma and he is shocked to see how badly hurt she is. Tig then confronts Clay in private.

But instead of throwing a punch, Tig resigns as Sargent and he rides off. Clay actually sheds a tear over what happened and the escalating consequences of his actions. Up on the mountain, Opie comes across Piney's body and he flips out when Unser follows him in the door. Unser explains what happened to Piney and he says that Clay is responsible for Piney's death. He tells Opie that Clay has to be stopped before he kills anyone else that they love.

As the end of the year gets closer, I've been assembling a list of the top ten dramas on TV. And I have to admit that "Sons of Anarchy" didn't make the cut… until this episode.

There are plenty of shows that I enjoy more than "Sons of Anarchy," but when a series is this great on such a consistent basis then it deserves to be recognized. The intensity that is driving the show has almost nothing to do with the shooting war that ended in this episode. It's about the spectacular collapse of SAMCRO as we know it. There's simply no way to sweep these events under a rug and attempt to go on as if nothing has changed. People are going to die before the season wraps up.

It's a little embarrassing that I left Kozik off of the Sons of Anarchy Season 4 Death Pool, because he was basically a recurring guest star and I didn't expect him to be written out of the show so permanently. It couldn't have been a coincidence that Kenny Johnson met his end by explosion on both "The Shield" and "Sons of Anarchy.". Even Kozik's last words were an amusing callback to "The Shield." At least now if Johnson ever guest stars on "Justified" or "American Horror Story" in the future, we'll know how he'll eventually die.

Kozik was actually the perfect character to be killed off in this episode. It had to be someone who wasn't on the main cast that the audience and the characters felt connected to. Even Kozik's long time rival, Tig was affected by his death. Although I suspected that they had mostly patched things up before the end of Kozik's life. This episode was also a gift to Kim Coates, as it allowed Tig to have one of the most powerful moments of the season. By ripping off that patch, Tig did more to hurt Clay than any punch he could have landed. It also seems clear that Tig has some pretty deep feelings for Gemma and I half expected him to beat the crap out of Clay for what he did to her. I'd still kind of like to see that, actually.

Opie is also emerging as an unexpectedly pivotal figure. For all of Unser's bravado to Clay, he must realize that he wouldn't last very long by going up against his former friend. Unser may not be able to kill Clay… but Opie just might be able to. If the collapse of his marriage and Jax's betrayal weren't enough to make Opie a much harder person, Piney's murder is the absolute last straw. Opie may not be the leader that SAMCRO needs, but he could be the next enforcer if his new attitude holds together.

Maggie Siff is still affecting as Tara continues to mentally slip down the drain. The scene in which Tara smashed her hand again made me cringe, not because there was anything wrong with Siff's performance. It was because I had bought into the idea that Tara's hand would be even more damaged when she was through. When a series makes you care about what the characters are doing, that's really good writing.

As for Big Otto, it seems like Kurt Sutter is writing his own character off the show in an unexpectedly dramatic fashion. Lincoln had a point about Otto's suffering for SAMCRO; which was repaid with betrayal and lies. Even so, Otto still held on to the ideal of the brotherhood for his friend, Lenny. And from Lincoln's reaction, I'd guess that if he really did understand what Otto was talking about then Lincoln must have some family in one of the MCs.

Getting back to Clay. I bought that he finally shed a tear, but it's still pretty s***y that out of everything that Clay's done this year it was Tig's resignation that moved him to cry. It could have been a cumulative effect and there is no question that Clay has harmed the club that he professed to love as well as his family. But Clay showed no remorse for killing Piney, setting up Tara or beating Gemma to a pulp. And when a character reaches that kind of emotional dead end, it usually means that their time on a show isn't going to last much longer.

"Sons of Anarchy" has been on an epic roll lately and I can't wait to see how it plays out. If "Sons of Anarchy" manages to stay strong for the remaining three episodes, it may not just be one of the best shows on TV… it could be the best show, PERIOD.

BWTS manufacturers edge closer to USCG Type Approval

Ecochlor BWTS onboard the T/S Golden Bear Ecochlor BWTS onboard the T/S Golden Bear

MAY 20, 2016—While no ballast water technology manufacturer has yet gained U.S. Coast Guard Type Approval, some are now reporting that they have completed land-based and shipboard testing, the final steps on a very, long and winding road before submitting an official application to the agency.

As we reported in the April 2016 issue of Marine Log, one of those ballast water technology system (BWTS) manufacturers is OceanSaver AS, Drammen, Norway. It recently reported that it had finalized all the testing required for the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Type Approval application of ballast water management systems. In close cooperation with shipowner CSL, OceanSaver said it successfully concluded testing to USCG requirements, operating in a wide range of demanding conditions along the Pacific Coast of North America

According to OceanSaver CEO Helle Hundseid, the company completed shipboard tests on May 5. “Component testing was finalized shortly afterwards – and all tests have been confirmed to meet all USCG requirements,” says Hundseid. “We expect to finalize the formal application within beginning of June, thus being among the very first BWTS vendors to submit an official application to the U.S. Coast Guard.”

The shipboard testing was carried out on two 2,000 m3/hr capacity BWTS on-board the CSL bulk carrier Sheila Ann starting at the end of last summer. OceanSaver’s BWTS has been in operation by the ship’s crew continuously throughout the testing period along the ship’s trade route. The route included the saline and brackish water ports of the San Francisco Bay, San Marco in Mexico and Tacoma, WA, as well as various fresh water ports on the U.S. Pacific Coast—requiring the OceanSaver BWT system to operate in a wide range of varying conditions.

Meanwhile, Ecochlor, Inc., Maynard, MA, reported it had completed all of its land-based and shipboard testing at the Golden Bear Facility (GBF) at the California Maritime Academy (CMA), Vallejo, CA, in preparation for submission of its application for USCG Type Approval. The Golden Bear Facility (GBF) is a University-Government-Industry partnership to provide shipboard testing of commercial ballast water treatment technologies. The Training Ship Golden Bear, owned by the U.S. Maritime Adminstration and operated by CMA, serves as a platform for developing, testing and evaluating technologies such as BWTS.

Ecochlor’s BWTS was verified in all three salinities, five test cycles each, for a total of 15 consecutive and successful cycles to meet the USCG requirements.

“For all system manufacturers, getting through the USCG Type Approval process is a long journey, with challenges and successes along the way, says Marcie Merksamer, Vice President of EnviroManagement, Inc. “I’m pleased to have the opportunity to act as Ecochlor’s liaison with DNV GL, GBF and the USCG, and congratulate them on successful completion of their biological efficacy testing.”

Ecochlor is currently finalizing environmental testing at Retlif Laboratory. During this testing, components of the system are exposed to environmental conditions such as temperature extremes and vibration to confirm that it can withstand a shipboard environment. Once these tests are complete and data has been reported and summarized DNV GL, as the USCG-approved Independent Laboratory, will review the test data and submit a report of their findings for compliance with the Final Rule to the USCG. Ecochlor will then submit an official application to the USCG within the next few months.

Tom Perlich, President and Founder of Ecochlor, says, “The Ecochlor team’s experience with GBF has been very positive and DNV GL has been very thorough in their role as the Independent Lab overseeing the testing. USCG Type Approval test results for the Ecochlor BWTS have been consistent with the IMO Type Approval results which have exceeded the biological discharge standards.”

Breakfast Casseroles Make Holiday Entertaining a Breeze

MISSION, KS--(Marketwire - Nov 17, 2011) - (Family Features) When company comes to stay for the holidays, the main meal on the big day tends to get the most attention. But with simple prep the night before, you can wake up your guests and their senses with a deliciously simple breakfast casserole for a welcome morning surprise. Consider these simple tips before your house fills with guests this holiday season:

Shop in advance. By choosing the meal a few days prior, you can make a quick trip to the grocery store and stock up on the items needed to feed your guests. Purchasing quality pre-packaged refrigerated foods like Bob Evans Original Recipe Sausage Rolls is a great way to have brunch and breakfast food items at the ready for last-minute occasions as well.

Set up the space. The day before your gathering, set out clean dishware, silverware and glasses. Use napkins, and place settings for small gatherings to add a special touch. For larger gatherings, consider preparing a buffet for guests to help themselves.

Get cooking. Just because people will arrive in the mid-morning doesn't mean you have to be up with the dawn. Do your food prep the night before, using the delicious recipe for a breakfast casserole made with savory sausage, vegetables, herbs and cheeses below. Then simply pop the casserole in the oven an hour before guests are set to arrive.

Finish the table. Set out pitchers of water with sliced strawberries, cucumbers or lemon for guests to enjoy, along with orange juice, milk, coffee and tea. Dice fresh fruit to serve with your meal and get ready to enjoy your delicious brunch. Don't forget to place butter, bread, jam and honey on the table. For a special touch, add fresh cut flowers in vases as well.

1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 can (4 ounces) mushrooms, drained and chopped
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
Fresh herb sprigs, optional
Carrot strips, optional
Picante sauce or salsa, optional

Spread croutons on bottom of greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Crumble and cook sausage in medium skillet over medium heat until browned.

Drain sausage; spread over croutons. Whisk eggs and milk in bowl until blended. Stir in soup, spinach, mushrooms, cheeses and mustard. Pour egg mixture over sausage and croutons. Refrigerate overnight.

Eaglewood Energy Announces PPL 259 Farmout

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Dec. 3, 2013) - Eaglewood Energy Inc. ("Eaglewood") (TSX VENTURE:EWD) is pleased to announce that it has executed a farmout agreement with Ketu Petroleum Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Horizon Oil Ltd (ASX:HZN) ("Horizon") for 20% of Eaglewood's 65% participating interest in PPL 259 in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea. On completion of the transaction, Eaglewood will continue to own a 45% participating interest in PPL 259 and retain operatorship.

Horizon currently has a 25% participating interest in PPL 259 which, after completion of the farmout, will be increased to 45%. Further, upon completion of Horizon's sale to Osaka Gas of 40% of its PNG interests (announced in May 2013) its participating interest in PPL 259 will be reduced to 35%. Accordingly, on completion of the farmout announced today and the Osaka Gas deal, the equity interests in PPL 259 will be Eaglewood 45% (operator), Horizon 35%, Osaka Gas 10% and Mega Fortune International 10%. Horizon is also the operator of PRL 4 which contains the Stanley discovery adjacent to PPL 259 and PRL 21 (which contains the Elevala, Ketu and Tingu discoveries) adjacent to the Ubuntu-1 gas condensate discovery in PRL-28, in which Eaglewood has a 40% participating interest and is operator.

To earn the additional 20% participating interest in PPL 259, Horizon will be required to pay to Eaglewood approximately USD $ 3.75 million for Eaglewood's sunk costs, and in addition to Horizon funding its 35% participating interest, it will be required to pay USD $5 million of Eaglewood's expenses for the next PPL 259 well.

It is currently expected that the next PPL-259 exploration well will spud during the first half of 2014, although the exact timing of the well is yet to be finalised with Horizon and the other PPL-259 participants.

The completion of the farmout transaction is conditional upon receipt of regulatory approvals and certain other customary conditions.

CEO Brad Hurtubise commented, "We are very pleased, upon closing of this farmout transaction, to be fully funded to drill our next well in PPL 259 and have some incremental capital to help finance our participation in the Stanley development or secure additional seismic to identify our next drilling location. We are also pleased to be furthering our relationship with a knowledgeable and experienced partner like Horizon, who will be operating the next well. We expect, subject to rig availability, the well will spud in the first half of next year."

Eaglewood is a junior Canadian oil and gas exploration company that trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "EWD".

Universal Releases Aviation Safety Management System (SMS) Manual Framework

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - Nov 25, 2013) - For business aircraft operators, probably one of the least appealing and "flashy" elements of the Safety Management System (SMS) model is the documentation of processes and procedures, otherwise known as "the aviation SMS manual." Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc. offers some best practices and free resources to make the construction of the aviation SMS manual simple and complete.

"While there are many examples available in the industry of what an aviation SMS manual should look like, there is only one manual that is appropriate for your organization: the one that is created based on the reality of what your organization is doing to effectively manage safety," advises Jason Starke, Safety Management and Integration Operations Manager for Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc.

The purpose of the aviation SMS manual is to tell a story, a non-fiction one, of what your organization does to manage and ensure safety throughout your operations. The aviation SMS manual should outline who does what, why it is done, and what the expected result of the process will be. It should also state who has authority and responsibility for the things being done and to whom that individual is accountable. "The reason for this is if the process needs to change or is not performing as planned," said Starke, "then those in the operation will know who to turn to."

The information included in your aviation SMS Manual must reflect what your operation is actually doing. The content should explain what is done to resolve safety issues of various SMS processes and what the result is, as well as, the performance requirements of the SMS.

"Best practice is to have your manual be a reflection of reality in what your organization does to effectively and systematically manage safety," said Starke. "It should be a document of what is accomplished, rather than what is aspired to. When describing your SMS processes, write in a clear and understandable manner, keep it simple and accurate."

To get started developing an aviation SMS manual, operators can download a PDF version of an aviation SMS Manual framework here, or they can request an MS word version here.

Happy Birthday to Me...

Well, today is my birthday...

I've had lots of my lovely friends give me beautiful birthday wishes, which I would like to thank them all for.

This year, my theme is moderation and control. So I am having a very quiet birthday for once and going out for dinner with a couple of friends.

Currently I'm enjoying a glass or two of sparkling Shiraz with Ange and Oscar. I've taken the day off and are looking for a new place to live.

Love to you all.

 Penjee Review--best way to teach kids Python is at Penjee.com

Penjee.com Review

Penjee is a fun way to learn to code. The app is rigorous and serves as a great way to transition from drag and drop programming to hand coding.
Penjee.com is the best way to teach kids python. It's a fun engaging way to make a transition that kids typically struggle with : how to transition from a drag and drop type of coding like Alice to the daunting world of "real programming language" like Python.
Penjee's choice of Python is perfect for beginners but what really sets Penjee apart from other sites is its learning environment. The site's videos are easy to understand, and the site's tutorials explain concepts in a friendly engaging way! (See Youtube Video below)
The student challenges are scaffolded and differentiated. In short, student's are able to try to achieve the same learning goal multiple times through "mike and ike"/ "jen and jill" versions of the same assignment ( more here).

Nokia: The return

Sure, Apple and Samsung are the big players of the smartphone world but they owe their success to Nokia, a name that still commands a lot of respect and awe.

While it is no longer the force it once was, there is something about the brand that gets people excited.

First generation mobile users are nostalgic about the device, while newer users are all aware of the legacy of Nokia – it has a cult-like status.

Whatever your position, chances are you’ll be excited about the following revelation – rumour has it that the Finnish tech company is going to make a comeback.

Two unnamed sources have told the online news provider Re/code that in 2016, Nokia is to take control of its name and develop new devices that will, we imagine, remind everyone why it was such a vanguard.

“Nokia has remained silent about its work as it waits out its contract with Microsoft that prevents it from selling any phones under the Nokia brand through the end of this year or licensing the brand for use in phones until at least the third quarter of next year,” Re/code stated.

“That has not stopped it from staging a comeback scheduled after its contract ends. And indeed the company has been staffing up and hard at work on products for next year and beyond.”

Nokia’s control of the mobile phone market started to slip in 2007/2008, with Apple and its flagship smartphone device – the iPhone – becoming a global sensation.

After years of struggle and indecision – it just couldn’t quite work out what to do – the powers that be decided things had come to an end of sorts.

They agreed to let go and in September 2013, Microsoft acquired Nokia’s mobile phone business. However, now it seems the operation is returning to its spiritual home. Next year is going to be interesting.

Help Needed! Old School House Garden

18 March, 2014 - 18:26

Tuesday 25th March and/or Tuesday 1st April, 3.15 – 4.30pm.  Help is needed to ensure that the Old School House Garden area is as safe as possible for pupils.  We have therefore organised two after school work sessions for parents, grandparents, family members and friends to come and carry out some essential work.  This is likely to include:

  • making the area safe for pupils to use (removing rubble, broken pallets, weeds, thorns  etc)
  • general tidying/pruning
  • putting in edging for a path and transporting wood chipping

 The more adult helpers who attend, the more we can achieve.  Please note that any children who attend are the sole responsibility of parents/carers.  A slip has gone to every child for indicating willingness to attend, and is attahced here.  Even if you don't manage to return the slip please feel free to come along and help out!
