Lisa from Aynor, Sc writes

Is it safe to use Surge Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf on horse pasture?

Surge Broadleaf Herbicide for Turf is not labeled for use in grazing pastures. We would recommend GrazonNext HL Herbicide, as it is safe to use on pastures with numerous different types of grass. GrazonNext HL Herbicide is a broadleaf weed control product that will kill more than 100 different types of weeds, including the more difficult to kill perennials, like nightshades and bull nettles. There are no grazing restrictions using GrazonNext HL Herbicide. We would suggest they not be in the area during the application and while the surfaces are wet, once the treated surfaces are completely dry then they can return.  Please refer to the GrazonNext HL Herbicide label for exact labeling restrictions.

Refit to Sail the Southern Ocean

Rebuilding Inspired Insanity with my own hands allowed me to build confidence in my ability to fix whatever goes wrong. Creative Engineering became part of my response to everything that happens on II. We are a team. From the moment we met, II and I have taken care of each other, from the near sinking of II the day of the survey and the near sinking again the night before I left to solo the world. There is an inutition we have together.

Refit St Thomas

November 2000-July 2002

Repair of hull delamination- Refiberglassed the hull, including rebuilding the keel, rudder skeg

Replaced all Stainless steel including chainplates, deck fittings, bow stem

New rails and refit of rail structure

New electrical system throughout

Refit of engine transmission- all rubber seals failed in 7 years of non use

All pumps, electronic equipment, failed. I Iliminated the electrical water system, auto pilot, depth/wind instruments as they failed.

Engine painted, alternator, starter,solenoid, fuel system rebuilt

Standing rigging and bow pulpit replaced

for more information: II refit to sail the world

Refit Ireland

August 2002 - August 21, 2003

During the crossing to Ireland, the steering vane lost its rudder and trim tab leaving me to hand steer three weeks to arrive in Ireland. The steering vane was rebuilt by craftsmen in Crosshaven, Ireland. Major work was done on the electrical system to prevent shorts on board. The deck hull joint failed giving me a very wet ride, and finally allowing 100s of gallons of water to seep in when II was on her side while using the tide change to clean the bottom. I epoxied the entire rail on the inside of deck hull joint to keep water out and conceeded that I needed to  do a total rebuild of the joint before going on a longer sail offshore which I was already planning then. Ronnie Cass did amazing work on II and reinforced rigging that had SS flaws in rig. I was able to refit blown out sails at MacWilliams sail loft. I was ready to go again.

Preparation: first Circumnavigation

July 2005-November 11 2005

Refit in New Zealand

Hatchet of the United States Ship "George Washington"

POLLOCK, Edwin T. and Paul F. BLOOMHARDT, (comps.). The Hatchet of the United States Ship "George Washington". (New York : J.J. Little & Ives Co,, 1919). First Edition thus. Pp (14),1-273,(1) + frontispiece + [15] leaves of plates. Large 8vo, blue cloth, black lettering to spine, and front with rope-enclosed ship design to front.

A complete bound reprint of the shipboard newspaper of the U.S. troopship George Washington during the Great War. With war news, safety bulletins, shipboard happenings, baseball scores, etc. With passenger lists from all 10 of her transatlantic voyages.

"SS George Washington was an ocean liner built in 1908 for the Bremen-based North German Lloyd and was named after George Washington, the first President of the United States. The ship was also known as USS George Washington (ID-3018) and USAT George Washington in service of the United States Navy and United States Army, respectively, during World War I. In the interwar period, she reverted to her original name of SS George Washington. During World War II, the ship was known as both USAT George Washington and, briefly, as USS Catlin (AP-19), in a short, second stint in the U.S. Navy.

When George Washington was launched in 1908, she was the largest German-built steamship and the third-largest ship in the world. George Washington was built to emphasize comfort over speed and was sumptuously appointed in her first-class passenger areas. The ship could carry a total of 2,900 passengers, and made her maiden voyage in January 1909 to New York. In June 1911, George Washington was the largest ship to participate in the Coronation Fleet Review by the United Kingdom's newly crowned king, George V."

Property search

The local District Valuer assesses the Rateable Value (RV) of each commercial, ie all non-domestic property.  To this RV is applied the Uniform Business Rate (UBR) which then gives the business rate liability for each year.  For the year commencing 1 April 2015 the standard UBR is 49.3 pence in the pound, but for properties with an RV of less than £18,000 it reduces slightly to 48.0 pence in the pound.  If the RV is considered excessive or inaccurate then it can be appealed.  The right result is usually achieved by negotiation but in some cases disputes are referred to a Rating Tribunal.

Small Business Rate Relief

This gives a sliding scale of concessions to businesses with Rateable Values of up to £12,000 (outside London).  The Government has announced an extension of the Small Business Rate Relief Scheme until 31 March 2015.  For business premises with an RV of up to £6,000 then 100% Business Rate Relief can be claimed.  If your RV is between £6,000 and £12,000, then a sliding scale between 100% and 0% will apply.  For properties with a Rateable Value in excess of £12,000 full rates are payable.

Detailed information is available from the Valuation Office Agency website:-

Empty Business Rates

Since 1 April 2008, empty shops and office premises have exemption from rates for only the first 3 months they are unoccupied.  Industrial and warehousing properties now only have 6 months exemption.  After that full business rates are normally then payable.  Only commercial properties with an RV of less than £2,600 are currently exempt from this empty rates charge.

This is a contentious tax raising exercise by Government as rates are supposed to be a tax on occupation rather than ownership.  Drake Commercial have been successful in lawfully mitigating our clients empty business rates liability in a number of cases, as a temporary re-use then enabled a subsequent rates free period.  Please contact us for further information.

Drake Commercial can check your current business rates assessment and advise whether an appeal may be worthwhile and successful.  Our fees are usually performance or success related.  Sometimes savings are significant but our advice recognises that it would be counter-productive to appeal where there is only a small chance of success.

Girls lacrosse superstar Ashton Whittle looks forward to future of leadership

Oct 02, 2017 03:28PM ● By Jana Klopsch

Ashton Whittle will play lacrosse for Colorado Mesa University in college. (Kathy Holmberg/courtesy)

Ashton Whittle never had a hard time getting into sports, although it took her until fourth grade to truly find her passion for lacrosse. “I was an ambitious little fourth-grader looking for something I truly loved and could excel in. I grew up playing every sport I could get myself into: soccer, horseback riding, basketball, track, dance, swimming, volleyball, etc.” Whittle said.

Everything changed when she saw a flier in her elementary school advertising Alta Thunder girls lacrosse. “After the first practice, I knew I had found something I loved and here I am eight years later still as in love with the sport as when I started,” Whittle said.

Luckily for Whittle, not only does she love the sport, but she’s also unstoppable when she plays it. In her previous three years playing for Corner Canyon, she was team captain as well as being on first team All-State all three years, and she doesn’t plan on stopping that streak. “I hope to receive the title of All-American this year. I’m driven to be the best at my sport. When I step on that field it is my release, and it’s my domain, and it is where I am most comfortable, and I am intrinsically driven to keep it that way — mine,” Whittle said.

With all of her accolades and talent, including leading the state in goals this past season, Whittle still holds her humility regarding the team. “As much as I want to excel at lacrosse and build upon my game, I am unable to do that without my team. These are amazing girls that inspire me to try harder and work harder. I can’t do it without them,” Whittle said.

Whittle also greatly appreciates the faith her team has put in her by naming her team captain all three years, with a fourth year expected this coming season. “I’m hoping to continue that leadership into my fourth and final year. I can’t say exactly why I received captain, but it could be because of my passion for the game. I am so humbled to be seen as someone the team views as a leader, I couldn’t be more honored,” Whittle said.

While Whittle’s focus is on her senior season, her lacrosse career is by no means near its end. After some extensive college searching and offers from D1, D2 and D3 lacrosse programs across the country, Whittle has committed her talent to the D2 program at Colorado Mesa University. “I am looking to make an immediate impact on that team and take them to the championships. I can’t wait to play this sport for four more years. GO MAVS!” Whittle said.

Certain athletes can show their prowess in these crucial high school years, but few can dominate and lead the way Whittle has. After being named team captain and first team All-State her freshman year, Whittle has showed no signs of slowing down, and her commitment to continue to play at a higher level than anyone else should give nightmares to her opponents for years to come.

Skin test detects prion infection before symptoms appear

Researchers have developed a method of using skin samples to diagnose prion infections – even before they establish themselves…

prion disease

An international team of researchers successfully have used two methods to detect prions in skin samples collected from inoculated rodents.

Prions are able to infect both animals and humans, and often go undetected as they destroy brain tissue, causing memory loss, mobility issues, and ultimately death. In humans, prions cause Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), a fatal degenerative brain disorder, and other progressive neurodegenerative conditions.

Preclinical detection of prions is currently difficult, however recent research has shown that skin samples hold early signs of prion disease that precede neurologic symptoms.

“Currently a definitive diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is dependent on the examination of diseased brain tissue obtained at biopsy or autopsy. It has been impossible to detect at the early preclinical stage,” said Dr Wenquan Zou, Associate Professor of Pathology at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.

Prof Zou and colleagues were able to successfully detect prions in rodent skin samples as early as two weeks after infection, and before they showed any clinical signs of prion disease. They were also able to detect prions in the skin of uninoculated rodents that were housed alongside inoculated rodents in the same cage. Thus, they demonstrated that prion transmission can occur between cohabiting rodents.

The researchers suggest that skin prions could be used as a useful biomarker for the preclinical diagnosis of prion diseases.

During the study two detection methods were compared: RT-QuIC (real-time quaking-induced conversion) and sPMCA (serial protein misfolding cyclic amplification).

“Both assays were able to efficiently amplify trace amounts of disease-associated prion protein found in the skin tissues of infected animals,” said the study’s first author Zerui Wang, a PhD student from the First Hospital of Jilin University, China, working in the Zou laboratory.

RT-QuIC has previously been used to detect prion particles in symptomatic CJD patients, but it requires invasive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples.

“The CSF-based prion test results could be uncertain in some cases and not all CSF specimens from patients with prion disease are RT-QuIC positive,” said Dr Qingzhong Kong, Associate Professor of Pathology at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and co-corresponding author on the study. “Although skin samples may not replace CSF in routine RT-QuIC-based prion disease diagnosis, they may be helpful when prion disease is suspected but CSF is either unavailable or RT-QuIC-negative.”

Prof Zou mentioned how the skin is readily accessible, and with skin biopsies being minimally invasive, “detection of skin prions will be very useful for monitoring disease progression and assessing therapeutic efficacy during clinical trials or treatments when prion therapy becomes available in the future.”

The team were awarded a $2.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to validate their methods using human skin samples to determine if skin prions could serve as a diagnostic biomarker for CJD.

The study was published in the journal Nature Communications.

Call for Papers: Memory and Identity in the Learned World Community. Formation in the Early Modern World of Science and Learning (Deadline: 1 May 2019)

On November 7-9, 2019, the ERC project Sharing Knowledge in Learned and Literary Networks (SKILLNET) will organize a conference at Utrecht University on memory and identity in the early modern learned world. The central question for this conference is how scholars, scientists, and learned men and women formed a community by remembering and identification. Confirmed keynote speakers are prof. dr. Karl Enenkel and prof. dr. Judith Pollmann.

The Republic of Letters — the early modern community of scholars — has been vaguely conceptualized in historiography. Some take it to be the correspondence networks between scholars; others equate it very broadly to the entire early modern learned and intellectual world. Yet, how did early modern scholars themselves imagine the Republic of Letters? To answer this question we focus on community formation through scholarly identity and collective memory. Scholarly identity includes both exemplary figures such as Erasmus or Newton, as well as the self-fashioning of other scholars to fit a mold. Collective memory pertains to the ways of remembering in the scholarly community, for example in letters, vitae, journals, opera omnia, monuments, libraries and memorials. By bringing together scholars who have knowledge of disparate aspects of the scholarly milieu in the early modern period, we hope to better reconstruct the formation of the trans-confessional and pan-European community.

Suggestions for papers are:

  • Scholarly values, virtues and vices
  • Monuments, memorials, and other “sites of memory” (lieux de mémoire)
  • Biography, auto-biography and other forms of life-writing
  • The role and (social) position of women in the learned world
  • The self-definition of the learned world by early modern actors
  • Correspondence networks, especially their codes of conduct and social hierarchy
  • Friendship and bonds, e.g. in Alba amicorum
  • The emergence of a discourse around the Republic of Letters in the early eighteenth century (e.g. in theatre, dissertations, and books) both positively and negatively
  • The role of Digital Humanities tools, such as named entity recognition (NER) and sentiment analysis in text-mining large scholarly corpora.

Proposal types and submission The conference will contain a variety of different papers, including paper presentations (20 min.) and object/source presentations (10 min.). The object/source presentations allow for a presentation of a specific source or object, for example the Newton tomb in Westminster Abbey or an antiquarian manuscript. We also invite advanced (research) master students to give a short presentation of their work. Please submit your paper proposal (max. 300 words) or object/source proposal (max. 200 words) including a personal biography (max. 150 words) before 1 May, 2019 as an attachment (pdf- or doc-file) to an e-mail to Koen Scholten (

There are plans to publish selected papers in an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal.

Further information

For more information, please visit our conference website.

This conference is organized by members of the ERC-funded research project SKILLNET: Sharing Knowledge in Learned and Literary Networks – The Republic of Letters as a Pan-European Knowledge Society.

Cranbrook Tourism launches new website

Board of directors also announced

Cranbrook Tourism launched a new website recently as part of a more robust effort to market and promote Cranbrook and region as a preferred year-round destination for leisure, meetings and nature-based travel.

The purpose of the organization is to attract more visitors to the region, positively impact the local economy and contribute to improved quality of life for residents.

The launch of the new website was the culmination of years of work laying a foundation for the new destination marketing organization that is Cranbrook Tourism. Other major developments in 2018 have been the hiring of a new executive director and the creation of a 10-member board of directors. Executive director, Kristy Jahn-Smith started with the organization in late summer.

“Our goal with the new website is for it to inspire and inform both visitors and locals,” says Jahn-Smith. “Much work has been done this year to develop images and video content that help tell the Cranbrook story. Work on a website is never done and as the number one marketing tool we have there is a lot more to do.”

Organizations and individuals are invited to share feedback through the site and submit events to the site’s events calendar.

The 10-member board of the Cranbrook and Region Tourism Society is comprised of local accommodators, business owners and tourism stakeholders.

The Cranbrook and Region Tourism Society Board of Directors are:

Chair – Chris Andrews: general manager of Wildstone Golf Club;

Treasurer – George Freitag: owner of Elizabeth Lake Lodge;

Secretary – Mike Peabody: owner of The Choice Boardshop and Cranbrook city councillor;

Heidi Romich – owner of The Heid Out and Fisher Peak Brewery;

Livia Lara – manager of the Cranbrook Farmers Market

David Kroeker – general manager of the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort;

Tristen Chernove – general manager of the Canadian Rockies International Airport;

Jenn Bouchard – general manager of Days Inn Cranbrook;

Steve Kamps – coordinator & Faculty of Tourism & Recreation Management Programs at College of the Rockies;

Janice Alpine – Business Development Officer of Ktunaxa Nation Council.

“Local collaboration will be hugely impactful when it comes to making Cranbrook a destination of choice. Whether you represent a local business, a community group or just have ideas to share we want to meet with you,” said Jahn-Smith.

Members of the community with an interest in tourism are invited to meet with the board and the new director for an open house on the evening of Thursday, Nov. 22. Contact  [email protected] for details and to RSVP.

Cranbrook Tourism is the destination marketing organization for the City of Cranbrook and region. The organization includes an industry-led board of directors and five years of secured funding based on an approved MRDT application to British Columbia’s Ministry of Finance with strong community support. A three per cent approval on the collection of a hotel tax began Jan. 1 and will continue through Dec. 31, 2023. WestJet recently added Cranbrook as a destination. This means the Canadian Rockies International Airport now sees daily service from three major airlines.

Mulberry School for Girls has been recognised as the top performing secondary school for progress in Tower Hamlets.

Today (Thursday) the Department for Education (DforE) published secondary school league tables, featuring the results of students sitting GCSEs in English and maths last year.

The tables use raw GCSE results and a raft of data from the DforE to evaluate how well pupils progress in a school since starting in secondary school and sitting their exams – resulting in Progress 8 and Attainment 8 scores.

Progress 8 scores are centred around 0, with most schools within the range of -1 to +1. The data shows how many schools have missed the government’s floor standard of -0.5.

With a Progress 8 Score of +0.91, the value added score of pupils at Mulberry School for Girls from primary school to GCSE is the highest in Tower Hamlets, while Oaklands School and Central Foundation Girls’ School also performed ‘well above average’.

Overall performance at end of key stage 4 in 2018 (Progress 8):

‘Well above average’:

Mulberry School for Girls: 0.91

Oaklands School: 0.68

Central Foundation Girls’ School: 0.57

‘Above average’:

Swanlea School: 0.39

Stepney Green Mathematics and Computing College: 0.33

St Paul’s Way Trust School: 0.29

Sir John Cass Foundation and Redcoat School: 0.26

Bishop Challoner Girls’ School: 0.23

Mulberry Academy Shoreditch: 0.21

George Green’s School: 0.06

Morpeth School: -0.06

Bow School: -0.17

Bishop Challoner Boys’ School: -0.23

Bowden House School: -0.36

‘Below average’:

Langdon Park Community School: -0.26

Wapping High School: -0.42

‘Well below average’:

Raine’s Foundation School: -0.84

Phoenix School: -1.36

Ian Mikardo School: -2.32

No data is available for independent schools or schools which did not have pupils sit GCSEs this year.

First Light Festival will ‘shine a light’ on Lowestoft

Posted by on 17 June 2019 | Comments

Tags: , ,

The Leader of East Suffolk Council believes next weekend's First Light Festival in Lowestoft is a 'landmark occasion providing an incredible boost' for the people and businesses of the town.

With five days to go until the free, non-stop 24 hour long, multi-arts festival gets under way, Councillor Steve Gallant says that it is an event to put Lowestoft on the map as part of a wider strategy to improve the seafront area and increase visitor numbers.

The festival - which celebrates the first light of midsummer’s weekend in Britain’s most easterly town - is a concept which evolved from the ongoing Lowestoft South Beach Vision project; a collaboration between internationally renowned designers Hemingway Design (led by Wayne Hemingway MBE), East Suffolk Council and other local partners and businesses. Arts charity FlipSide are delivering the festival in partnership with Hemingway Design.

The bulk of the funding for the event has come from a £100,000 award from Arts Council England and £80,000 from East Suffolk with further contributions from the Council in subsequent years.

Cllr Gallant said:

“East Suffolk Council is committed to a bright future for Lowestoft and investment in this fantastic event is a real statement of intent. It has attracted national attention for the town and for the county and we are delighted that so many creative people and organisations are coming together to make this happen.

Festivals bring new visitors to towns – visitors who contribute to the local economy and if they enjoy themselves, come back again and again. Lowestoft has so much to offer and, as a council, we are determined to help it fulfil its potential. This is a landmark occasion providing an incredible boost for local people and businesses."

The festival grew out of the wider seafront strategy that Waveney District Council (prior to becoming East Suffolk Council) commissioned Hemingway Design to carry out.

The First Light Festival will literally 'shine a light' on this unique location, with local stakeholders co-curating content in a programme that has sunrise as its central focus and which celebrates a sense of place – including Lowestoft’s maritime heritage, community of artists and musicians and science connections, notably to large scale renewable energy production and scientific research by resident government agency CEFAS, the UK’s foremost marine research organisation.

The Return to Innocence

With the continued normalization of vice in modern life, the idea of preserving or recovering innocence seems somewhat irrelevant. For most people, a return to innocence is more likely to bring to mind a new age hit single from the nineties than a serious societal concern.

Today, only a few parents (usually of the Mormon or traditional Catholic variety) will take their family’s innocence seriously and do what they can to protect their children from the corruption abounding on every form of media and physical setting. They homeschool; they restrict or prohibit screen-time; and they take care to limit the company they and their children keep. In most cases, their more progressive neighbors will deride them as kooks and modern Pharisees, particularly when they see their children keeping their faith and living prudently while their own fall into every moral quagmire imaginable.

In light of such success, one might wonder why more people do not take care to follow these wholesome families instead of mock them. Some do, which explains why more traditional orthodox religious communities are growing rapidly while liberalized ones continue to decline nearly as fast. Others do not because of the failure to properly understand the meaning of innocence. Too often, it is cast in negative terms: not being exposed to evil influences; not observing or knowing about evil; not having evil thoughts or committing evil actions. If people view innocence as a collection of non-experience, then those who oppose it can reframe it as something that denotes ignorance, naiveté, and even callousness.

The consequence of this redefinition is clear to see, especially in schools, entertainment, and in family life. At school, children are systematically scandalized in their faith, their relationships, and their own identities. They learn early to equate religion with superstition, love with utility, and the self with accidental characteristics. Students who practice their faith, refrain from sex, and waive victim status are thought weird and draw universal contempt. By contrast, the gender-fluid students with many partners and no religion are increasingly celebrated and admired.

In their entertainment, children see good and evil relativized, with the villain often playing the hero and virtues like bravery and honesty dissolving into snark, incompetence, and shallowness (for examples, consider nearly every animated movie made by Dreamworks). Perhaps young viewers may learn to be nice to others; however, they more often learn to make fun of others, forget their manners, and act like clowns—much like Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, or Mr. Peabody.

In addition to absorbing the immorality of this entertainment, the act of passively consuming images and sounds on a screen draws children into addiction. There is no better way to take away the innocence of a whole generation than by turning them into junkies.

Of course, school and entertainment would not have so much of an effect on young people’s innocence if adults stood guard against it. Unfortunately, most adults have abandoned their post, leaving their homes in disarray and the children to fend for themselves. Encouraged by ubiquitous propaganda, they have less compunction about subjecting children to corruption. Thus, the children spend their formative years in homes where abuse, profanity, and lies are common.

Dangerously, this obliteration of innocence continues well into adulthood. Caught on the slippery slope, and thinking they have nothing more to lose, most adults continue to forfeit their innocence all the more. Their entertainment, education, and home lives become even more lurid and destructive to the point that extreme evils like abortion, euthanasia, and religious persecution start being perceived as desirable options for reforming the culture.

This situation leaves two options for the individual who still believes in innocence: fight or flight. In the short term, those choosing the latter may be more effective in contending with the downward moral spiral, but this will not do in the long term. The much-ballyhooed “Benedict Option” could work in a decentralized feudal society, which is what Europe became after the fall of the Roman Empire. It cannot work in modern country where an authoritarian government has the means and support to simply outlaw ideas and practices that run counter to its ideology. A quick glance at Canada’s laws overruling parental authority to push LGBT indoctrination, Denmark’s forcing its values on “ghetto” children, or Germany’s draconian laws against homeschooling, all indicate the eventual fate of families who attempt to steer clear of the corrupt secular culture.

Rather, the better option for preserving innocence is to fight the prevailing corruption. The first step requires recovering the proper definition of innocence. Much more than a mere lack of negative experiences, innocence is a trust in higher things—like truth, goodness, and beauty. A person who believes in the truth of God’s revelation, in the goodness of friends and family, in the beauty of creation and imagination, is innocent. Such a person has a transcendent view of world and is capable of seeing beyond himself. He does not reduce all experience to random material phenomena, but instead finds meaning in everything and everyone. As Wordsworth puts it, innocence was “a time when meadow, grove and stream, the earth and every common sight, to me did seem appareled in celestial light, the glory and the freshness of a dream.”

Because they have less experience that would cause them doubt in higher things, children are naturally more innocent. In his Sermon on the Mount, Christ, the very embodiment of innocence, clearly wants to preserve this quality in the young and recover it in the old: “Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven” (Matt 18:3). Jesus does not command people to give up their responsibilities or knowledge as adults, as he makes clear three verses later in Matthew 18:6, but only to retain their innocence and their trust in God.

Fortunately, simply knowing or experiencing something ugly, evil, or false does not necessarily cause people to lose their innocence, though this will certainly happen if one is not careful. Dostoevsky illustrates this situation with his main characters in Crime and Punishment. Hoping to prove the theory that truly enlightened individuals can dispense with morality, the protagonist Raskolnikov commits a double homicide, losing his innocence not only in the legal sense, but also the spiritual sense. The ensuing misery he feels does not really come from his guilt over taking an innocent person’s life, but in his decision to give up truth, goodness, and beauty for the false empowerment of embracing sin.

In direct contrast, Sonya, his foil, has kept her innocence. She shines like an angel despite experiencing far worse evils as a prostitute supporting her alcoholic father, hysterical mother, and helpless little siblings. In her conversations with Raskolnikov, she is the innocent one asserting her trust in God and His love while he somehow feels qualified to tell her just how wrong and naïve she is, never minding his own stupidity in committing a crime for no other reason than to validate his adolescent hypothetical morality.

Rather than shun Raskolnikov to maintain her purity, Sonya patiently confronts him about his crime and challenges him to repentance. In this regard, she mirrors the saints who brandished their innocence in the face of corruption. They understood that this was more persuasive than any argument. St. Paul won more converts in Greece with his innocence than the greatest philosophers did with their dialogues and treatises. St. Augustine himself converted because of the moral examples of his mother St. Monica and mentor St. Ambrose, not from his philosophical education. St. Bernard of Clairvaux overwhelmed the celebrity logician Peter Abelard (during a time when such people existed) through the power of his convictions rather than his brilliance. St. John Paul II, a genius in his own right, dedicated his life to God after witnessing his father’s unwavering faith, which he considered his “first seminary.” None of this obviates the need for reason; it does indicate, though, that reason is much more compelling when it is coupled with innocence.

Besides offering proof of the power of innocence, these examples from the past point to using innocence as a practical remedy for a jaded present. Most obviously, those who have guarded their innocence must model it for others. They can expect pushback for doing so, but this will indicate that people are noticing and allow for deeper consideration of innocence’s alluring effects.

What is less obvious in these examples, yet still critical, is the subsequent need for material detachment. Innocence pulls men towards heaven; corruption pushes them away. One ceases to trust in truth, beauty, and goodness when spending time listening to lies, succumbing to addiction, and surrendering to self-absorption. Therefore, man must detach himself from these influences.

Such retreat happens for Raskolnikov when he spends years in a Siberian prison before finally repenting. St. Paul chose to live in obscurity for three years after his conversion before beginning his apostolate in Antioch. After his conversion, St. Augustine permanently retreated from the world and all its pleasures and practically formed his own religious order. St. Bernard joined the strictest monastic community in the France of his day, and St. John Paul II forfeited sleep to spend more hours in prayer. For all these men, material detachment provided room for innocence to take root and grow. They seemed to understand that without it, innocence would remain a faraway ideal that would induce more regret than reform.

In the Information Age, detachment has become increasingly difficult as new devices fill every nook and cranny of life, and devious inventors and psychologists incorporate “persuasive technology” to destroy the possibility of self-control. For this reason, one must be purposeful in changing one’s habits and reordering priorities.  One can fill the time formerly wasted on television and social media with prayer, work, study, and relationships. If such a shift can be sustained without relapse, moments of innocence will emerge when the seeker will notice and be revolted by the profane, elated by the beautiful, and filled with gratitude at the many blessings in the world around him.

For many who have lost their innocence, the realization that it can be found again is an occasion of great relief, even emancipation. They need no longer despair at having been estranged from innocence, nor continue pretending that they were better off for having lost it. They can instead be buoyed by the prospect of becoming innocent anew, protecting the innocence of others, and confronting the forces that bring such stifling corruption to our society. In the end, a return to innocence through detachment is the only way to truly love one’s neighbors, and enemies, without losing oneself and enabling sin. It is the only way to combat scandals without being scandalized. Most importantly, it is the only way to God.

‘We Need New Stories’ resonates with audiences at the Edinburgh International Book Festival

‘We Need New Stories’ resonates with audiences at the Edinburgh International Book Festival

With a debut Palestinian author topping the bestselling books list, and eight of the top ten bestselling books having been written by women, the Book Festival’s most diverse public programme yet comes to a close today after 17 days of extraordinary debate and discussion between authors and audiences from around the world and across the political and cultural spectrum.

Writers including Arundhati Roy, Elif Shafak, Malorie Blackman, Poet Laureate Simon Armitage, Children’s Laureate Cressida Cowell, Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson, Australian authors Tim Winton and Thomas Keneally and former Irish President Mary Robinson joined others from 65 countries to address why We Need New Stories – this year's Festival theme – with discussions covering everything from climate change, the fashion industry, racism, homelessness and Brexit to classical music, indigenous languages and food.

The Sea Cloak, the debut short story collection from Palestinian writer Nayrouz Qarmout, who returned to Edinburgh this year for her second-ever trip out of Gaza, was the bestselling book at this year's Festival.

Nick Barley, Director of the Edinburgh International Book Festival, said: “Numbers simply don’t do justice to the overwhelmingly positive feedback we’re getting from audiences this year. The theme, We Need New Stories, struck a resonant chord: our theatres and our cafes and bookshops have been alive with discussion about climate crisis, populist politics and the demise of the American Dream. At the same time we’ve enjoyed music, performance and laughter as well as impassioned conversations. What’s clear is that people are thirsty for public, face-to-face encounters with experts and visionaries – new voices, with new stories, from new places. The Book Festival is unquestionably answering a deep public need for grassroots democratic discussion.”

Nine authors longlisted for the 2019 Booker Prize enthralled audiences at the Festival, as did Jokha Alharti – the winner of the 2019 Man Booker International Prize. The winners of the University of Edinburgh’s James Tait Black prizes were announced in Charlotte Square Gardens in their centenary year. Salman Rushdie, Lemn Sissay, Ann Cleeves and comedian James Acaster all launched brand new books. Scotland international rugby player Doddie Weir discussed his career and his MND diagnosis in an emotional event ending with a standing ovation. Ruth Davidson shared her story with Olympian Katherine Grainger, activist Gina Martin and former BBC China Editor Carrie Gracie talked about their campaigns for equality, and Sofie Hagen spoke out against fat shaming.

Families and children have enjoyed over 200 events across the Baillie Gifford Children’s Programme, including exuberant appearances from Francesca Simon, Horrible Histories illustrator Martin Brown, Harry Hill, Patrice Lawrence and Laura Bates. The new Baillie Gifford children’s area was a huge success and also enjoyed visits from the Gruffalo, the Very Hungry Caterpillar and Elmer the Patchwork Elephant. The Baillie Gifford Schools Programme has welcomed 11,742 pupils and teachers from across Scotland and closes tomorrow with over 2,800 primary school pupils enjoying a special space-themed Schools Gala Day.

Some bold changes this year, including our expanded bookshop in Charlotte Square Gardens and improvements to the inclusivity and accessibility of the site, have been well received. The Festival offered more BSL interpreted and live captioned events than ever before; we employed dedicated staff to assist visitors with access needs, and a number of events across the progamme were designated Pay What You Can. Supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery and House of Hearing, these changes resulted in the Book Festival being awarded the Euan’s Guide Award for Most Accessible Pop-up Venue for the fourth consecutive year.

The Book Festival enjoyed a footfall in Charlotte Square Gardens of around 265,000 and the two expanded Festival bookshops on George Street and in Charlotte Square Gardens have contributed to an overall increase in book sales of around 5% with two days to go. Overall ticket sales have increased by 3%.

Audiences and readers can continue to vote for our First Book Award until midnight on Monday 14 Octobe, with the winner announced soon after. The Book Festival’s Citizen programme will continue over the winter months in collaboration with North Edinburgh Arts, the Brunton Theatre in Musselburgh and other local patnes, with events being announced later in the year.

The Edinburgh International Book Festival will return from Saturday 15 to Monday 31 August 2020 and the programme will be announced in June.

Jason Naismith has revealed what made deadline day so stressful as he made a mad dash to get his loan to Hibs over the line.

The Peterborough right back has signed on at Easter Road until the end of the season, with Paul Heckingbottom in need of another option at right back after injuries to club captain David Gray and Tom James.

Naismith arrives with experience of Scottish football having come through at St Mirren before spending a season with Ross County.

The deal was only confirmed by Hibs after midnight on deadline day, and Naismith revealed that a hectic journey to meet Nathan Ring, the club’s Head of Sport’s Medicine who was fortunately on duty with England Under 21s this week, in order to undergo a medical.

“It was a stressful day,” he told Hibs TV. “It seemed to be on then off, on then off. I think I lost a few hairs on my head over it, just trying to get it done. Thankfully the two clubs got there in the end.

“I had to meet Nathan at St George’s Park for the medical, which is two hours away from Peterborough. It was a case of agreeing everything in principle and then trying to get there.

“It’s not the easiest place to get to and there were diversions on the road. I thought someone was trying to wind me up but I eventually got there.

“It was some place but the important thing was that I passed the medical and everything got agreed.”

If Naismith needed any advice on the club ahead of making the move, then who better to ask than childhood pal John McGinn?

The pair have been close ever since their days as kids at St Mirren. McGinn responded to Hibs announcing the transfer on social media by telling everyone his mate was a “top player”, which Naismith joked has put some pressure on.

There was no need to sound out “Meatbaw” over the move however, as his mind was already made up.

“I’ve known John since we were 10-year-olds at St Mirren,” he explained. “We grew up together. We saw each other everyday. We’re good pals.

“He’s put a bit of pressure on me with that tweet saying I’m a top player! Coming from him it’s a great compliment. He’s done unbelievably well for himself and he is a hero here.

“If I can achieve half of what he did here then I’ll leave with my head held high. I was at St Mirren when he came here and I thought it was a good move. So it proved.

“He won the Scottish Cup and it took him to the next level. Hopefully it can happen for me as well.

“I didn’t need to phone him. It’s Hibs. You don’t need a sales pitch. You’re desperate to come. I didn’t even tell John. I’m superstitious like that! I wanted it to go through and I was worried if I told someone it wouldn’t.

“John messaged me on my way to the medical and he’s delighted for me.”

New achievement for EDRLab: the public release of Readium Desktop alpha1, for MacOS, Windows and Linux

One year ago, the European Digital Reading Lab started working on an important missing piece in the set of reading systems developed by Readium: a desktop application. Students use intensively their PC or Mac to access textbooks; visually impaired people commonly use a PC with a “screen reader” application to access any type of publication; and more generically, many ebook readers in public libraries, at work or at home, would like to access EPUB files on there desktop computer. But there was no good open-source EPUB reading application for them.

With the financial help of EDRLab founding members, and especially the help of the French CNL (Centre National du Livre), we started prototyping around a new kind of reading app, which could be deployed on the three main desktop operating systems, i.e Windows 10, MacOS and Linux.

The source-code of this application would be given to the Readium Foundation with a liberal license, so that everybody can customize the application for its specific usages.

And the application would be made Readium LCP compliant, so that everybody can benefit from this new and user-friendly way to access protected ebooks, obtained via an e-lending public library or via a compliant digital bookseller.

We decided to use typescript (i.e. typed javascript) as development language; Electron.js, a well-known technology which relies on Web technologies for developing multi-platform applications; and React.js as a base for the user interface.

Having now developed a clean architecture for the software, it’s time for us to release the first alpha version of the software, as a ready-to-use application for Windows, OSX and Linux (Debian).

You’ll find the released installer tools in the EDRLab repository of released versions, and you can freely use the application for reading un-protected EPUB 2 or EPUB 3 files, with the following caveats:

  • fixed layout publications are displayed on a single page.
  • user settings are minimal
  • page numbers are not displayed
  • there are no bookmarks, search …

All these features and many more, including Readium LCP support, a better design and features expected by visual impaired people, will be developed during the coming months … by the EDRLab team and – we hope – with the help of a fresh community of developers interested in this super-exciting open-source development.

Our main task in the coming days will be to move the source-code of this application (and internal SDK) to the Readium Github repository, so that the whole Readium community of developers can use and enhance it.

If you find issues (bugs, not missing features) with the current application, please open a Github issue on the EDRLab Github repository for this alpha1, and on the Readium repository for the upcoming versions.

Special thanks to the Centre National du Livre   for its help financing the alpha version of Readium Desktop.

State of the Energy Union 2017 - Social Fairness and Civil Society Participation in Europe's Energy Transition

This page is also available in

In November 2017, the European Commission released its third report on the State of the Energy Union. The Commission’s overall assessment of progress towards achieving the goals of the Energy Union is positive but it recognises that much still needs to be done. In particular, it promises 2018 to be a Year of Engagement, ensuring that citizens and civil society are mobilised and take full ownership of Europe’s energy transition. The EESC has previously highlighted a number of challenges in realising the Commission's vision of putting the citizen at the heart of the Energy Union and the progress made in this respect.

This public hearing therefore pursues two overarching goals, namely to hear how civil society organisations and experts assess the State of the Energy Union and to explore opportunities to improve economic and political ownership of the Energy Union by citizens and civil society.

This event is part of the EESC's initiative of the "European Energy Dialogue" that aims at fostering an open debate on Europe's Energy Union of cross-cutting topics among stakeholders, policy-makers, and citizens from across Europe.

Type of USB connectors

USB connector there are only 2 kinds, namely the connector type A and type B connector, as shown below. Type A connector used to connect the USB cable into the USB terminal on the back of the computer the last few years of production. Type B connector used to connect the USB cable into the USB terminal on the equipment, for a simple USB devices, such as mouse, usually do not use the connector B, to save cost in the cable directly connected to the inside of the mouse.

USB connector

Specified in the standard reference pesyaratan very strict to USB cable, not just the cable can be used, all the more for USB full-speed transfer of data to 1.2 Mega bps. So that the USB cable always sold as a ready-made, one end attached to the connector type A and the other end attached to the connector type B, no one sells it off the USB connector.

On the computer, usually there are two terminals for connector type A, so it can easily be paired with 2 pieces of USB devices. Manufacturing company that makes the mother board there is an additional USB terminal, you can buy if you want to add more than 2 USB devices. USB terminal on the computer named as 'Root Hub' Another way is to use a USB hub as shown in the figure, in this way can one USB terminal on the 'broken' into four.

Each of these fractions can also be connected to another USB Hub, as well as onward connection to connect to as many as 7 levels, which could eventually connect to 128 pieces of USB devices!

Electronic Circuit is a good site for hobbyist also who would like to try DIY because it shared good circuits. If you have a personalized circuit requirement you may feel free to request it through the comment box or contact me.
