Macclesfield Team News

27 October 2012

GRIMSBY Town were caught out by a late goal as Macclesfield Town claimed all three points at Blundell Park.

In an open game between two well-matched sides, Matthew Barnes-Homer struck from the penalty spot after a foul by Aswad Thomas.

Visiting keeper Lance Cronin had kept his team in the game with a string of superb saves to deny the Mariners, who had created the better chances throughout the game.

But the away side took the honours after catching the hosts on the counter-attack and Town finished the game with 10 men after Scott Neilson was shown a late red card.

Four changes were made to the Town side after last week’s FA Cup defeat by Kidderminster Harriers.

Thomas and Shaun Pearson returned from injury, while Craig Disley was fit to start after limping off after coming on as a substitute against Steve Burr’s side. Ross Hannah also came back in after parent club Bradford City refused permission for him to play in the cup.

The men making way were Sam Hatton, Ian Miller, Andi Thanoj and Dayle Southwell, three of whom started on the bench this time around.

James McKeown began in goal, with Bradley Wood, Pearson, Nathan Pond and Thomas making up the defence.

Joe Colbeck, Disley, Derek Niven and Neilson were the midfielders, with Anthony Elding joining Hannah in attack.

Miller, Southwell and Thanoj were among the substitutes, along with Frankie Artus and Andy Cook.

Macclesfield made the journey east with a familiar name in their starting XI in the shape of Peter Winn. The Cleethorpes-born winger had a spell on loan at Blundell park from Stevenage last season before signing for the Silkmen in July.

Former Luton strikers Barnes-Homer and Amari Morgan-Smith were the men looking to cause the Grimsby defence problems.

Macclesfield kicked off into a strong wind and they saw a penalty appeal turned down within the opening two minutes, when Pond appeared to catch Morgan-Smith inside the box. Referee Robert Whitton was not interested though, waving play on.

A foul at the other end then gave Town a free kick 35 yards out and after Wood chipped it into the box, the ball broke for Pearson to lash a low shot which visiting keeper Cronin did very well to get a hand to.

Pond had to concede a corner on six minutes after some good build-up play from the visitors. John-Paul Kissock’s kick was headed away by Pearson.

Niven drove a low shot from 40 yards after Barnes-Homer gave the ball away in midfield but his tame effort rolled wide.

A push on Elding eventually brought a town free kick after the referee initially allowed the advantage but the set-piece opportunity came to nothing, as Colbeck fired over the bar.

A similart situation came when Thomas fouled right-back Ryan Jackson and the referee allowed play to continue initially before blowing for the free kick. Keiran Murtagh’s delivery was headed wide by centre-back Pablo Mills.

Town were starting to take control of the game around the quarter-hour but a spell of Macclesfield pressure saw Jackson have a shot blocked by Thomas after a run by Winn down the left.

Then, a half-chance for Grimsby came when Neilson found Hannah inside the box but he could not get any power on his header.

Colbeck won a corner for the Mariners on 19 minutes but Niven’s touch to Colbeck’s delivery took the ball away from Pearson, who looked set to connect with a header.

A foul by Murtagh on Neilson gave Town a free kick on the right three minutes later. Colbeck sent it into the box but the ball was headed away by Tony Diagne, who got to it ahead of Pond.

Morgan-Smith had a shot blocked for Macclesfield, before a long ball forward from Murtagh resulted in a Grimsby free kick for a push on Pond.

A Town attack down the left then led to Colbeck firing a shot just over the bar from 20 yards.

A cross from Winn at the other end held up in the wind but Kissock’s header from 18 yards went straight through to McKeown.

A good move from the Mariners saw a deep cross from Thomas flicked on by Elding for Hannah but the offside flag was raised against the Bradford loanee.

A cross from Colbeck on the left was headed out for a corner and after it was played short for Neilson, he found Niven and the midfielder’s cross was headed away for a Town throw on the right. It was also taken short, before the ball was crossed for Pond to loop a header against the bar.

Niven was shown the first yellow card of the game for a foul on midfielder Sam Wedgebury midway inside the Grimsby half on 38 minutes but the resulting free kick was poor and Niven headed clear.

Murtagh followed Niven into the referee’s notebook when he clipped the heels of Disley on the Town left.

Colbeck’s delivery was met by Pearson but his header went well over the bar.

A low cross from Thomas on the left was flicked towards goal by Hannah but his effort was deflected out for a corner by Mills.

Two added minutes were played at the end of the half and with no further opportunities created by either side, the scores remained level at the break.

It had been a very open first half but few clear-cut chances had been created at either end, with neither goalkeeper particularly busy.

No changes were made before the restart and Town could have taken the lead almost immediately, when a cross from Colbeck on the right was flicked towards goal by Elding but saved by keeper Cronin.

Niven then tried his luck with a side-footer from 20 yards but Cronin made the catch.

In a high-tempo start to the half, the away side also created a good opportunity for Jackson but he blazed the ball over the bar from inside the box.

Neilson had the next chance, picking the ball up on the left and cutting in before hitting a shot that Cronin had to push around his post for a corner.

Charles Henry replaced Jackson for Macclesfield before the corner, which was cleared.

Murtagh shot wide after good work by the busy Kissock in midfield but the visitors were still posing little threat to McKeown’s goal.

Cronin was having more to do in the Macclesfield goal and he was called into action again to push the ball away from under his bar after a cross from Thomas.

The game was still open and the next chance went to the away side, with substitute Henry pushing a shot wide from inside the penalty area.

McKeown was required to beat the ball away for a corner from a shot by Barnes-Homer on 58 minutes, as the away side looked to force a breakthrough.

Macclesfield were bossing possession and looking the more dangerous of the two teams Town’s response was to bring Thanoj on for Hannah, pushing Neilson into a more advanced striking role.

Thanoj found Neilson on the edge of the box just after the hour but the Crawley loanee’s shot was pushed out for a corner by Cronin.

And the keeper produced another outstanding save when a great ball fromm Disley left Neilson in a one-on-one situation but the keeper came out to superbly block his shot for a corner.

The Mariners had another chance to take the lead from the flag but Elding could not convert a free header.

A shot from Thanoj was blocked after Thomas pulled the ball back from the left, before Pearson was booked for a foul on Barnes-Homer near the centre circle.

Southwell came on in place of Colbeck for the last 20 minutes of the game, with both sides still looking for the opening goal.

Thanoj had a shot blocked for a corner after a run by Neilson on the right but the ball was cleared after a header from Pearson.

Cronin made another brilliant save to keep the scores level after a driven cross from Wood was met by Southwell’s first-time shot but again, Town could not make the resulting corner count.

A foul on Elding gave the Mariners a free kick in a central position, 25 yards out, on 77 minutes. Neilson teed the ball up for Thomas but the left-back sliced it wide.

A spell of Macclesfield pressure came after Town lost possession deep inside their own half but it ended with a wild shot by Winn, who hit the roof of the Osmond Stand with his 20-yard effort.

Waide Fairhurst came on for Kissock for the visitors and soon afterwards, they were given a golden opportunity to take the lead.

Town again lost possession and Barnes-Homer made his way into the box, where he turned inside and was brought down by Thomas. The referee pointed to the penalty spot and BARNES-HOMER got up to smash the ball past McKeown and into the net in front of the 66 travelling supporters from Cheshire.

Jack Mackreth came on for Morgan-Smith for the last six minutes, before Cook replaced Niven for the Mariners, who were now having to chase the game.

Macclesfield were now on the up and they kept attacking in search of a second goal, which would kill Grimsby’s hopes off once and for all.

And there was still time for the Mariners to be reduced to 10 men, with Neilson shown a straight red card for a foul on the Macclesfield right.

Cronin had to be at his best again to make a superb double save, first from Cook, then Southwell, as the game moved into four minutes of added time.

McKeown moved forward to join the Town attack but they were unable to force an equaliser, meaning it was a third straight home defeat in all competitions.

Town will now head to Tamworth for their next league fixture on Saturday.

Monilaria moniliformis, 9 months

Temperatures hit 35° C behind the glass panels on my balcony on sunny days, and at night it is near freezing (even on nights with -5° C outside). Nothing seems to kill off the Monilarias.
They’re a bit thirsty today, but overall, they’re doing just fine!

1Here is my GTI-R Empty Here is my GTI-R 23rd January 2017, 5:53 pm

So a few of ye may have seen my "New Member" thread a while ago, I hadn't actually picked up the car when i made that so here it is.

Here is my GTI-R 2F549C8A-3FBC-4A4D-A77C-158B3826645A_zps43mxye7s

Here is my GTI-R C86C2723-9244-44B4-A65A-3FE8A06D09FE_zpsdloqtleh

1990 : 150km
Front Mount
Apexi Filter
HKS Blow off Valve
Bought it just after a rebuilt engine, bearings and seals etc.. were all replaced (All OEM) Covered 30 miles since the rebuild i am told.
ACT clutch and flywheel fitted the same time
750cc injectors
Full Mongose exhaust (I think)
Sard ECU
D2 Coilovers
Short Shifter (unknown make)
16" Rota Fighters
Umbrella socket
Mud Guards

Well to start off the car is brilliant, I love the look of it, i love the acceleration and love the retro interior. It is such an odd and rare car makes it even more appealing. However there are a few issues with mine.

The arches are rusty (as expected).
The abs light is on,
The exhaust would wake the dead (I don't have a problem neighbours do)
The gear selector does not recenter back to neutral. (Missing shifter spring?)
The Aircon has been removed (But have all the parts to put it back in)
I plan to get all these bits done in time but only have weekends to do it!

I am comparing my Pulsar to my 355 bhp Integra DC5 through out all my thoughts/opinions here.
Here is my GTI-R IMG_0059_zps1yzzbqpq
On first driving it, I actually found it very heavy and clunky, much harder to drive than the DC5. It could be cos I have driven my own car for 7 years, but my second thought is it could probably be due to the 4wd system and diffs etc. The new clutch engages very quickly and the car just bounces off the line it seems, plus I found that I needed to rev it higher to get it rolling. The steering seems heavier, there is a lot more manual work involved in driving it. Once I get used to it though I reckon it will become second nature to driving it.

Performance wise for me it is all about the launch, I don't know the car well enough to rev it to 5k and pop the clutch so for the moment, i have not launched it while in boost but i have rolled into boost in 1st and when it kicks in it really goes. It would destroy the DC5 with the grip off the line. But once rolling I do think the DC5 would pull it in and breeze by it around the top 4th gear. rolling out of a round about in 2nd or 3rd i also think my DC5 would have it (depending on road conditions of course).

When i heard it was on D2 shocks i was not sure, but to be honest I was very pleasantly surprised, I thought they were supposed to be utter tripe but when going over a bumpy roads they were very smooth and comfortable so i am thinking I will leave them on for a while and see how it goes.

The biggest problem with my car is the brakes. The ABS light is on, when on boost there pedal is hard and only when off boost does it start to compress. When the car is idling and you push the brake it starts revving up and down. This leads me to believe it is an air leak somewhere. The previous owner gave me a brake booster but it looks like a nightmare of a job to replace it!! Any opinions on this? It does fit the symptoms but should the ABS light be on also? I spotted i have 1 braided brake line also!!

The rust I don't think is too bad. The inner and outer arches do need to be done, the rear part of the bumper under the vents needs to go, but my inspections seems to be that is all. I was able to jack the car up on the sills so that must be ok. Maybe 4 or 5 thump print sizes of rust around the doors and windows which hopefully are only suface at this stage.

Here is my GTI-R 99670BD9-DD73-4F42-9A09-4CA026D40F6B_zpsjbhmt28r

That is the worst arch on the outside

I didn't get a chance to check the handling cos could not get up any real speed on backroads with them brakes! But with the coilovers on it I will get the fast road done according to the "very good all round settings" posted by GTI-R US. Will then compare it to the DC5 in this area!

I like the interior, I got an awful wheel with it, but already replaced it with an original OEM (1st mod) I also have some aftermarket drivers seat, but again I already have the oem seat to go back in! I am also missing / need to replace a few interior bits.

3 air vents
cup holder
oem stereo and stereo surround / cover.
Also need a OEM gear leaver and booth.

There is a fag burn in the passenger seat. The rest of the interior is in good condition, carpets matts rear seats and boot are excellent condition and very little scratches on any of the plastics.

Exterior, some small penny dents here and there, few scratches, had a front splitter i removed, also had no badges and an aftermarket front grill. I will need to replace all these. Maybe eventually get a respray.

Here is my GTI-R F4CDDFB5-8EEB-439F-99D5-8C02CED138E6_zpskz2bi7rp
Here is my GTI-R 3A6C79A9-AD31-4FFD-8555-A3465561A8BA_zpszebsihyc

So that is it. I will get more pictures next weekend again as i was very busy this weekend, doing things but managed to change the oil. I bought plugs but was told they were the wrong ones. They were very cheap though so no harm done NGK BCR8ES.

Here is my GTI-R 562FB6DA-FA77-4AFD-B6EA-E9297259F79C_zpssgwo5gd8

Here is my GTI-R D4C20EAF-598F-4B4D-9992-2B570F11231D_zps29zg1b9e

Anyway I will put it out there on here if anybody is breaking a pulsar I am after the following bits in a bulk order tongue

1) Quiet exhaust
2) Rear Badges
3) Front grill and P badge
4) Upgraded brakes / discs / braided lines (Evo/Clio or wilwood)
5) Gear knob and gater
6) Radio
7) Radio facia
Cool Air Vents
9) Air con top pipe

If ye have managed to get through all that you may realise i am not looking for a 400bhp monster more like trying to get it back OEM spec apart from the current engine mods, even if it means losing a bit of power, however hard that is to believe.

Looks like you might have a tidy R on your hands mate.
You say its done 30mile since rebuild? If true you should run it in on mineral oil.
Bob wrote a good post about this and has some good tips.
Has it got a back box fitted? This should reduce the noise without affecting performance too much.
Those holes look like they're in the clutch housing? The first one looks aftermarket and might weaken the case. Its hard to tell from the pic, but if it is you might be limited in how much power it can take as early transmissions housings were a bit week area and were revised by Nissan a few times.
The 2nd hole pic is just a missing plate fitted to the sump housing which shouldnt be an issue.

Some people I think left them off for heat but I guessed shit and water would get in. See it has a aluminium foot rest in. Yes not the most common rev counter or clocks.

I need a set of original clocks so

5Here is my GTI-R Empty Re: Here is my GTI-R 23rd January 2017, 8:43 pm

Car looks pretty good overall mate, little bit of work to do but will be a nice project. Just be careful about jacking it up on the sills, it's a big no no on these cars, too many have a lot of damage from it.

In regards to the brakes, have a look at the check valve on the brake booster line.

6Here is my GTI-R Empty Re: Here is my GTI-R 23rd January 2017, 9:02 pm

Wtf is that grill? Looks transformers lol
Anyone else notice the alloy foot rest? $$$$ Wink
Looks a tidy car. Just needs some tlc.
If you take the plenum off. Still conected to the throttle bodies. .. you will just be able to get the brake booster out.
Do it while you swap that nasty drivers seat over because you will need that seat out so you can climb in and undo the brake booster from inside the car.
I have a couple of gearstick gators. Will dig them out and send you a couple of pics of them.

I would probably buy the gear knob

8Here is my GTI-R Empty Re: Here is my GTI-R 23rd January 2017, 9:20 pm

Thanks Cosmic, I was looking for one that didn't need much work and i think i got one. Can never be sure until you get it home and give it a once over though. But i think it seems OK so far. Yeah it has a back box fitted, I am not sully sure of the make of it, i will reverse it up onto the ramps and have a look next weekend. I actually like the look of the tail pipe though! Maybe it needs a silenced de-cat and another centre silencer.

Yeah that is what he told me. You can never be sure but he seemed very honest. Showed me all the rust and everything so i kind of believe him. Well if the holes in the housing is just to let air in around and not a big problem i will leave them. I was just thinking there should have been a oil pan there or something.

Yeah I got the motorsport foot rest.

gtir_woody yeah when I was jacking the car up I was thinking to myself I don't think this is a good idea, I could just imagine the jack going straight up into the car. Also the front of the car seems very heavy to have that weight on it. How do people jack the car up then to change the front wheel?

I am going to get all the rust taken care of, waxoil the inside of the panels and sand everything down underneath and underseal it.

As ye can see I am very much a newbie idiot with these cars. You could ask me anything about the DC5 and i could tell you down to the last detail. I am sure i will get to the same stage with this car eventually.

9Here is my GTI-R Empty Re: Here is my GTI-R 23rd January 2017, 9:35 pm

Jack the car up from the front. Under the radiator there should be a cross member and in the centre of that it has a section of steel boxing that everyone uses.
For the rear everyone jacks up on the rear diff.

10Here is my GTI-R Empty Re: Here is my GTI-R 23rd January 2017, 9:36 pm

As said dont look too bad with some work and time spent on her

you wont however get 400 ponies out of her with the stock maf shes got at the moment.
any idea who supposedly built the engine and has it got forged pistons?

If its just been rebuilt it should be running on a mineral based oil, you definately dont want synthetic in there until she has around a 1000 miles on the clocks thats assuming either the pistons / rings have been renewed and its had either a rebore or cylinders rehoned

We should have virtually all the parts in stock that you need to sort her out so drop us a message on here or an email and il see what we have and sort out a price etc

As woody said above.........Brakes could be the servo unit 1 way valve but more often than not the cause is mainly a seized master cylinder which is fairly easy to change

The guy who rebuilt it has a garage with a few skylines, rx7s, subarus and into drifting and all etc... He said he didn't put any forged internals in it but said anything that needed replacing was done with OEM parts. He told me while we were talking what he had done but I cant remember everything. The bits i do remember are the timing chain & tensioner, water pump, all gaskets and seals, engine bearings. No work on the head and no forged pistons.
It was fairly random how I got it, it was not advertised for sale but I heard he had a good one and just had some work done on it, I asked him if he would sell, I suppose he got it cheap and couldn't say no to some easy profit.

I will only jack it up if I need to remove a tire, anything else I drive it up onto the ramps, but wont be jacking on the sills any more!!

Not a clue what type grill it is?? Nobody seen it before? I think it is just some universal front splitter though, It just made the car very low.

Yeah it is going to be a bit of a process of getting it back to the way it should be, but on the way already. I am not looking for mad power at all I am happy with what it has, i know getting a quieter exhaust could possible cost me some power but as a trade off i think it is worth it.

I will look up the check valve first, investigate what it is etc.., if that's not the problem i suppose i will do the booster then get a new master cylinder. As would have to buy one of them to test it.

Ah yes, I can hear air escaping too when I press the brake behind the dash above the pedal. Sounds like a check valve. May not need to swap the booster so?

Thanks I may send you a massage now with a list of parts I need.

13Here is my GTI-R Empty Re: Here is my GTI-R 23rd January 2017, 10:17 pm

The splitter is a Renault laguna front splitter.
The grill looks like someone has done it them selves. Probs a load of fibre glass..

If it's the rear jack up from the diff if you have a small headed jack use a square of wood if it's the front use arb mounts

15Here is my GTI-R Empty Re: Here is my GTI-R 16th February 2017, 10:58 am

So I got a few parts for the pulsar over the last week. I am not done yet either, have a few more bits to get.
They are not the cleanest, but to be honest I am just happy to get them.
Original badges:

This is the spare brake booster that came with the car
Here is my GTI-R FA9AEA3E-7E07-47E1-9893-75E9F6849279_zpsdwezco2x

Silenced mid section (decat??) came with the car too.

Gearbox transfer and diff oil: This Castrol seemed to be the only GL4 that didn't include GL5 stuff I could get. It is for GL3/GL4. From my research on here that was the one to get. I know it is fully synthetic and a few comments were you are better off semi synthetic as that is what they were using when they were designed but I reckon this is ok?
Here is my GTI-R 8B4A1473-078B-421C-9E42-39EB3C57055C_zpshmhis2yh

Underseal and rust recovery coating
Here is my GTI-R 4CB383BA-85AD-4E68-B03A-549856A5CCA5_zpsdj55zspo

I am not going to put in the OEM ECU or anything, I am just collecting all the original parts back together. I will leave the engine mods as is.
The clocks are in MPH and as i live in Ireland need KPH so going to get these swapped for KPH clocks.

I have already pulled this ball of wires off the loom behind the dash and found that the OEM radio plugs are gone
Here is my GTI-R FCBB0908-22D7-4AB2-A8D4-95EAAFBB6350_zpszcurznyx

Next on the list is this tangle

Here is my GTI-R 4A7100CD-6CEE-4C14-A310-46B71BF6DB80_zpsreqbwj8m

Then diagnose the cig lighter and boot door light switch.
Once that has been done, i want to fit the central locking on a fob rather than using the key in the door. Initial research says I need a door solenoid for the drivers side. I need to look into it more though.

This is the setup I need to use for the pulsar apparently, according to the wiring diagram supplied for the GTIR with the system.
Here is my GTI-R 06B38B86-952A-4DFA-BE1A-A38517F4BCBF_zpsyllwrlm8

One wire goes to the control switch in the door, one wire to the unlock solenoid (which i need to add) and the rest of the diagram is housed within the system itself.

If anybody has fitted central locking to the car before and has any advice it would be great.

16Here is my GTI-R Empty Re: Here is my GTI-R 16th February 2017, 8:32 pm

Nice update mate, you have good collection of parts starting to build up. Are they gtir clocks or off another model?

17Here is my GTI-R Empty Re: Here is my GTI-R 16th February 2017, 9:24 pm

I assume they are off a Sunny. The guy I bought them off had a few pulsars for breaking and he sent me them. I reckon he had a sunny sitting in them pulsars Razz I think he has realised his error too been offered to swap back for KPH clocks, them MPH clocks are a lot rarer.

18Here is my GTI-R Empty Re: Here is my GTI-R 16th February 2017, 10:22 pm

Yeah I think you don't see as many of those ones. I was just concerned whether it would be a direct fit or not.

My First IV Drip at Medical Center LifeHub

Living the Hong Kong lifestyle means frequent social drinking, poor air quality, constantly eating out because your kitchen is a closet and being stressed out about not having any personal space. Aside from those things, Hong Kong is a gem haha! On and off, I would get a nasty congested cough from the poor air quality or constantly being in Air Con. This July, I decided to visit a medical center called Life Hub in Central for my first IV drip. It was easy to book an appointment via Instagram DM for me. I was curious to see if this would help cure my cough or if it was just a gimmick. I came with an open mind and I was very pleased.

When I first arrived, I was offer a huge selection of teas (lemongrass ginger, chai, and much more!). The center was very well maintained and felt like a Zen oasis and did not smell/look/feel anything close to a hospital or a clinic. I was given a GSR Exam which analyses all the stressors in your body and things to improve upon like diet/nutrition, hydration, sleep quality and even emotional. I thought the exam was quite accurate in many ways. The exam cost $280 HKD or free if with any purchase at the clinic.

After the body scan, I consulted with an in house doctor who walked me through all the wonderful concoctions of IV drips including detox, immunity, athletic recovery and much more. I ended up going for the detox IV drip because it would help me with my cough as well as help me flush out some toxins. The process was painless (I normally despise needles) but they gave me a cute little stress ball to squeeze to ease the pain. The drip process only took about 40-45 minutes and I did the oxygen therapy while dripping. Living in the city, we had lower than average levels of oxygen in our body so the oxygen therapy was ideal. I definitely felt a difference in my energy level afterwards.

Verdict – I would definitely try the IV drip and oxygen therapy again! My congested cough went away after one day and I felt less tired in the morning because my sleep quality improved. I highly recommend it to someone who is battling a nasty cough or hungover (it helps!). The bill was around $1500 HKD but you if say my name it is 10% off the bill.

Cultures of Belize

Although a small country with only 332,000 people, Belize is culturally rich. Belize is home to many different ethnic groups, including Chinese, Creole, East Indian, European, Garifuna, Lebanese, Mayan, Mennonite and Mestizo, each with their own cultural and linguistic traditions. As a result, many languages are spoken here, but English is the official language. Belizeans of all cultures broadly welcome tourism and visitors are warmly greeted with large smiles. Many of our guests find that the best part of their vacation is the chance to experience some of the different cultures of Belize, and there are many opportunities to do so at Hamanasi, starting with the brief histories below.

Hopkins, which is the closest settlement to Hamanasi, is a traditional Garifuna fishing village, so of all the diverse cultures in Belize, you are most likely to get a taste of the Garifuna culture while at Hamanasi. Although commonly referred to as Garifuna, the people are actually known as Garinagu, while the language and the culture is Garifuna. The Garinagu are descendants of Carib Indians and Africans, and continue many of their ancestral customs such as fishing in dugout dories, harvesting cassava and basket weaving. How the Garinangu came to Belize is an epic story spanning continents and the seas, beginning nearly 500 years ago in the 17th Century on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent.

New beginnings

In 1635, two Spanish ships carrying Nigerian slaves, was caught up and floundering on the seas before sinking just off the coast of the island of St. Vincent. Survivors of the wreck swam towards shore and found shelter within the existing Carib Indian settlements. These survivors became a part of the communities that had taken them in and over the next two and a half centuries the Carib Indians and the Nigerians inter-mixed, inter-married and eventually fused to form a single culture known as Black Carib, or Garinagu.

In the late 1700's, as European politics increased in influence through the Caribbean, wars were increasingly fought over land and trade routes. With St. Vincent being declared a free state and under rule of no country, French nationals settled on the island and formed strong bonds with the Garinagu inhabitants. With strained relations between France and England, when St Vincent was awared to the British, battles were fought harder and all cumulated in a final battle on June 10th 1796. The French and their Garinagu allies, that the British no longer trusted, were forced to leave St. Vincent, and they started the long journey in search of a new home.

Over the next few years, the Garinagu travelled throughout the Caribbean, settling in Honduras, before leaving as war raged on. According to tradition, led by Alejo Beni, the Garinagu first landed in Belize, then known as British Honduras, on November 19th 1802, in what is known as modern day Dangriga. The Garinagu settled and have prospered in Belize, with many Garifuna communities still found throughout Southern Belize.

Each year, November 19th is celebrated as Garifuna Settlement Day and is a time to rejoice in finally finding a place to settle and continue traditions, grow families and to prosper.  If you are lucky enough to be here at that time or on other major holidays, you'll witness traditional singing, dancing and drumming that will mesmerize you.

Any time you visit you can get a first hand introduction to Garifuna Culture with one of several cultural tours listed below.

One of the oldest and most well known cultures of Central America is the Maya. Thought to have first arrived in the area that is now Belize around 1500 BC, the Maya flourished here until 1200 AD. The ancient Maya built massive stone pyramids and cities, developed an intricate writing system comprising hieroglyphics, created beautiful works of art and excelled in mathematics and astronomy. The civilization stretched from the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico west to Guatemala and south to Honduras and El Salvador. At the center was what is now Belize. Impressive Mayan archaeological sites that have been excavated, but still sit surrounded by lush rainforest, give us hints as to how advanced and important the Maya were.

The ancient Mayan civilization was primarily an agrarian one that traded extensively with other city-states in the region. Staple crops included maize, beans, squashes and chili peppers. City centers were primarily reserved for administrative and ceremonial purposes with residential districts surrounding them. The Maya had a highly complex series of interlocking calendars that included one of the earliest known uses of zero. Unfortunately, the ancient Maya were thought to have fallen victim to armed conflicts, plagues and droughts, almost wiping out the entire civilization. The arrival of Europeans in the 1500s practically destroyed remaining holdouts. One exception is Lamanai, which remained a continuous occupied Mayan community until the 17th century.

Today, evidence of this great ancient civilization is found throughout Belize in the form of ancient archeological sites to modern day Mayas practicing many aspects of their impressive heritage. Belizean descendants of the ancient Maya, known as the modern Maya, have formed three distinct groups: the Yucatec, the Mopan and the Ketchi. The Yucatec Maya refer to themselves simply as Mayan and live in the Corozal and Orange Walk districts of Northern Belize. The primary language spoken is Spanish, but Yucateco is also used. The Mopan Maya of Southern Toledo and Stann Creek Districts are originally from the Petén region of Guatemala, while the Maya of the western areas of Belize centered on San Jose Succotz in the Cayo District are a mix of Petén and Yucatecan stock. Immigrating from San Pedro Corcha, Guatemala, the Ketchi are found in several villages in the Toledo District.

Like their ancestors, Modern Maya primarily still lead an agrarian lifestyle with corn, beans and various starches and vegetables raised. Corn is ground into masa to make tortillas, tamales and other dishes and cocoa is turned into chocolate on grinding stones. Many Kekchi Mayan women wear blouses and skirts decorated with hand woven geometric embroidery. Slate carvings, jewelry and baskets are some of their many handicrafts.

The history of the Mestizo culture is a story steeped in romance. Some say that it owes its origins to the shipwrecked Spanish sailor Gonzalo Guerrero who came to the shores of Central America after Columbus’ discover of the New World. Initially captured and enslaved by the Maya, he quickly impressed them with his military prowess. Guerrero is said to have become a political and military advisor to Nachancan, the ruler of Old Chetumal, now known as the Santa Rita Maya site in Corozal. After marrying Nachancan's daughter, Zazil Ha, Guerrero settled in the Yucatan. Their children they became known as the first Mestizos, a mix of Spanish and Maya heritage. They lived happily until the Spanish conquistadors, led by Cortes, arrived in 1519 with plans to conquer the Mayan cities on the Yucatan peninsula. When Cortes offered Guerrero a position fighting for Spain, he promptly declined, proudly supporting his new home and family against the attack. However, the Spanish soldiers won the war and took control of the the Yucatan. Under Spanish rule, which lasted nearly 300 years, the native cultures were largely suppressed but the Mestizo population and culture continued to grow through intermarriage.

Mestizo is the name for a culture that developed on the Yucatan peninsula as a mix between local people of Mayan heritage and people of Spanish heritage that arrived during the Spanish colonial period. Over time many Mestizo left the Yucatan and came to what is now Belize. One of the largest migrations occurred during mid 1800’s when Belize was known as the colony of British Honduras. At that time the Yucatan region was suffering through La Guerra de Castas (the caste wars), one of the most violent conflicts of the Spanish colonial period, and the ancestors of many Belizean Mestizos first came to Belize to flee that conflict. More recently, in the 1980's, Mestizo from Guatemala, Honduras and EI Salvador have established communities within Belize. Today, over 500 years later, the Mestizo culture accounts for almost 50% of Belize's population and still displays a beautiful blend of Spanish and Maya customs, from the food and the language, to their Roman Catholic faith.

During the 1700's in Belize, European settlers were in control of the logwood trade, with a primary focus on the Mahogany supply which was located in the Northern area of Belize, around modern day Belize City. Slaves were moved from Western Africa, an area that would have been around the present day countries of Senegal and Angola, through the Caribbean. The first notation of slavery in Belize was by a Spanish missionary in 1724, who stated that the British had been moving slaves, originating from African nations, from Jamaica and Bermuda into Belize.

As unions formed between the Europeans and Africans, the children that were borne of these unions became known as Creole. During the 1800’s, Creole people started to extend away from Belize City into other areas of Belize, and today the villages of Freetown Sibun, Gales Point Manatee and More Tomorrow Village are considered to be key cultural centers. Even after the abolition of slavery occurred, many Creole chose to stay and continue to work in the Mahogany plantations, and to this day nearly 25% of Belize's population are Creole descent.

Creole culture has some very key practices associated with it, including an indigenous language, and food and cooking. The word, Creole itself, defines the language and tradition of the African-European community. Belizean Creoles have created the word "Kriol" to mean the language of the Creoles, which is considered by some as a completely distinct language evolved from, but no longer a dialect of English.

The word "Creole" comes from the Portuguese "criar" meaning "to raise a child born into a family". As the Portuguese expanded their empire into Brazil, the word mutated to "crioulo" with a meaning of African slaves born into the New World. Eventually the meaning included Europeans born into the New World. The modern Creole culture as we know it, can be found throughout the Caribbean islands and Central America, including Belize.

India in the 1800s faced epidemics of drought resulting in skyrocketing food prices and widespread starvation. It also left a huge number of people unemployed and between 1844 and 1917, a large number of East Indians organized with British landowners for passage to the New World, primarily to British Honduras which is now Belize. There they became indentured to logwood and sugar plantations to pay back the money for their transportation. Under the indenture system many were employed to work for a number of years for a "master", being free to work for themselves after this period. Unfortunately the system was often harsh on the workers and many people were not able to repay their debt and were forced to re-indenture themselves.

Under British colonialism in the 1800's, a large wave of immigration occurred from India to Belize to supply workers to the logging and sugar industries as indentured workers. The Indian migrants formed small, compact communities around the Toledo and Corozal districts, and over time became integrated into the growing Belizean population through marriage. In the 1950's there was a second migration of Indian nationals to Belize, primarily comprised of retail traders who have established a strong economic position and influence in both Belize and Guatemala. The exact number of indentured laborers and later immigrants is not known, but in the current day, approximately 2% of Belize's population is made up of East Indian descendants. Among Belizeans of East Indian descent, the original Indian culture has for the most part not remained, but rather adapted to the more mainstream creole culture of Belize. This isn't to say that you cannot find Indian influences around Belize, as traditional Indian food can be found cooking in many households.

Originally arriving in Belize as laborers and farm workers in 1865, a small group of Chinese workers were brought to Belize and first sent to the Northern areas. They were initially met with hostility by the Mestizos that were already settled in the area and in 1866, they were quickly transferred to Toledo. Many of the older generation of Chinese that are residing in Belize today still practice forms of ancestral worship and Buddhism, while many of the younger generation have converted to Catholicism, a more dominant religion in Belize. Despite this ongoing cultural integration into Belize's more mainstream cultures, some strong Chinese cultural customs still remain. A child's one-month birthday is celebrated - it will be the last. Annual birthdays are not observed. No ancestral rites are performed at death, though offerings of food and the burning of "joss sticks" (similar to incense sticks) on the grave is still observed. Also, the eldest male child customarily receives twice the inheritance of any other child in return for complete obedience to his father's wishes.

Chinese culture arrived in Belize in a similar way to Indian cultural influences, through an influx of migrant labor in the 1800s during the British colonial period. Descendants of this wave of Chinese immigrants still remain, but the majority of todays Chinese population stems from immigration that has occurred since just before World War 2 and currently Punta Gorda has the second largest population of Belizean Chinese after Belize City. Chinese is still spoken among some communities, but more so among the older generation, while the younger generations also appear to be becoming more "creolised" over time and there is fear that spoken and written Chinese will die out in Belize.

The vast majority of ethnic Mennonites in Belize speak Plautdietsch or Low German, while a small minority speaks Pennsylvania German. Standard German is used for reading in church. Most also speak English, Spanish and Kriol. Marriages are arranged. Mennonite women typically wear bonnets and long dresses while men usually wear dark pants and traditional suspenders. Old Order communities still use horse drawn buggies and reject the use of electricity. Farming, carpentry, furniture making, engineering and construction are some of the many economic contributions to Belize. Mennonite communities rely little on the Government of Belize and usually build their own schools, roads and other infrastructure.

Mennonites in Belize have different ethnic backgrounds and have formed different religious bodies. More traditional and conservative Mennonites are found in Shipyard and Upper Barton Creek, while more modernized communities are found in Spanish Lookout and Blue Creek. Most Belizean Mennonites are descendants of Mennonites that settled in the Russian Empire in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1873, 7,000 Mennonites emigrated from Russia and settled in Manitoba, Canada and some later resettled in Mexico. In the late 1950s some of these Mexican Mennonites settled in then British Honduras. Additionally, some Old Order Mennonites from Pennsylvania in the USA settled in Belize. Many Kriol and Mestizo Belizeans have converted to Mennonitism. Mennonites only accept adults as members.

Should you be concerned with AN OLDER FURNACE?

As time goes on, the furnace in your home can get old and cranky. It may take longer to heat your home or start making noises that make you feel uncomfortable. The truth is, as furnaces get older, they do get less efficient AND less safe to operate.

Carbon Monoxide is a Dangerous Thing

As furnaces age, the parts within your furnace can start to break down. The main one that you have to be aware of is the heat exchanger. This is a part that you cannot see, but the heat exchanger is what gets hot inside your furnace, and then your furnace blower pushes area through the heat exchanger. The warm air is what then heats your home.

Over the lifespan of a furnace, as the heat exchanger fires over and over again, the metal can start to weaken. Eventually the metal can crack, which then leads to carbon monoxide leaking into your home. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas, and large amounts of it can be dangerous for you and your family. That’s why it is important to have your furnace checked every year as part of planned maintenance. A furnace tune-up can help identify these types of issues.

Older Furnaces Cost More to Run

As furnaces age, all the parts within a furnace start to get dirty and worn down. When this happens, your furnace has to work harder to produce the same amount of heat as it did before. When your furnace has to work harder, it uses more utilities in the way of gas and electricity to run. This then increases your energy bills.

Plus, the heating industry has started to produce high efficiency furnaces that can save you significant amounts of money. If you have a furnace 15 years or older, you can usually save 15 – 20% a year on your heating bills just by replacing your equipment. New furnaces also have technologies available that can actually make your home more comfortable as well.

Contact Hartley’s Climate Control, and we would be happy to answer any questions about that old furnace of yours!

To enable ex-servicemen and women overcoming homelessness or mental trauma to be regarded as positively as those overcoming physical trauma, both in the workplace and in the wider community.

”You only have to chat to these guys for five minutes to appreciate what they can still contribute … how valuable they are within society.”

Prince Harry

We are providing platforms on which veterans can be employed to tell their story and demonstrate their capability.  They have a unique contribution to make in creating a more receptive, understanding and helpful environment for anyone overcoming homelessness or mental trauma.  Part of their work is to counter the fear and stigma which cast doubt on their usefulness or desirability.

We are a small, tightly-run operation intent on delivering a powerful, strategic impetus to public perceptions.  We recognise we are a tiny part of the broad spectrum of charities, both military and civilian, working with mental trauma overcomers and the homeless.  Whenever possible, we will work with or alongside existing charities.

Hats Off for Bootsie will be staging a run of The Terminus. Its central character is a homeless war veteran suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.  We will be employing combat veteran actors, many of whom have personal experience of mental trauma, homelessness or both. The Terminus will run in tandem with a number of publicity ventures to generate national interest in the issues it raises.

” …an exceptional play … a wonderful piece of writing … the only play yet to attract us beyond our Shakespeare remit.”

Jaclyn McLoughlin

Founder of UK & US Combat Veteran Players

Bootsie, Albert Lines, was a World War II veteran who lived rough on the streets of Kingston Upon Thames in the 60s and 70s.

He is the inspiration for this charity and its flagship event The Terminus.

Senator Demands Answers on Universal Health Services Outage

Did Hospital Chain Pay a Ransom After Attack?
Senator Demands Answers on Universal Health Services Outage
Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., is seeking answers about an apparent ransomware incident at Universal Health Services that knocked out access to the hospital chain's U.S. IT network for nearly two weeks.

See Also: Live Webinar | Empowering Financial Services with a Secure Data Path From Endpoint to Cloud

On Monday, UHS noted that it had restored the majority of its IT operations.

"With back-loading of data substantially complete at this point, hospitals are resuming normal operations," according to an updated notice on the UHS website. "The wide area networks at the majority of our behavioral health facilities are back online as well, with the remaining to follow shortly."

The company, which has 250 U.S. hospitals, has said it has “no indication that any patient or employee data was accessed, copied or misused.”

Questions Posed

In a Friday letter to UHS Chairman and CEO Alan Miller, Warner, who serves as the vice chairman of the Senate's Intelligence Committee, poses a series of questions, including:

  • Has UHS paid a ransom to the attackers?
  • Has any healthcare information been exfiltrated from UHS owned or operated systems without authorization?
  • Does UHS have effective segmentation measures in place within its healthcare facilities to prevent any type of malware from spreading?
  • How are clinical medical devices isolated from administrative systems and networks to ensure a breach of the administrative network does not interrupt medical devices?

In his letter, Warner suggests that threat actors are taking advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with the increasing amount of connected devices and systems that healthcare organizations are now using, to launch attacks that put patient data at risk.

"Any failure to protect this considerable attack surface with appropriately segmented networks and data provides opportunities for lateral movement across disparate systems," Warner writes. "An unmitigated breach in one facility can cripple systems at hundreds of medical facilities, risking patient care throughout a large provider network while healthcare delivery remains strained by a pandemic."

The COVID-19 crisis “only exacerbates the consequences of insufficient cybersecurity," Warner writes. "The need for healthcare providers to address cybersecurity threats has been obvious for several years now. Clinical providers, including UHS, must ensure all information, medical and critical systems are sufficiently protected."

UHS did not immediately respond to an Information Security Media Group request for comment on Warner's letter.

Ransomware Attack?

UHS has only revealed that "malware" caused the company to shut down its internal network on Sunday, Sept. 27.

But news reports, citing UHS insiders, state that the national hospital chain apparently sustained a ransomware attack, possibly involving a strain known as Ryuk (see: Universal Health Services Network Outage: Lessons to Learn).

Ryuk has been linked to other ransomware attacks aimed at healthcare organizations, including a September incident affecting Philadelphia-based eResearchTechnology, which has been involved in COVID-19 research. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has also warned about threat actors using the Emotet botnet to deliver Ryuk (see: CISA Warns of Emotet Attacks Against Government Agencies).

Fatal Consequences of Ransomware

In September, an attack directed at a German university that shut down emergency services at an affiliated hospital likely contributed to the death of a patient who needed urgent treatment but instead had to be transported to another hospital, delaying care, according to news reports (see: Ransomware Attack at Hospital Leads to Patient's Death ).

Brett Callow, a threat analyst at security firm Emisoft, says the ransomware attacks on UHS and others mean questions such as those posed by the senator “should be asked far more often.”

He adds: "Understanding how and why attacks happen is key to preventing them - or, at least, limiting their scope. … Should existing legislation such as HIPAA be strengthened? Should healthcare organizations be subject to more audits or other forms of oversight? Should federally mandated baseline security standards be put in place? These questions can only be answered if lawmakers understand why hospitals continue to fall victim to ransomware attacks."
