This is A little run down of the photography books I’ve acquired, most of which I got by attending photographer’s talks and book launches which means I get to pick up rare photography books and don’t have to pay postage. Some of the books are readily available on amazon while others will be a little harder to get hold of. I have included links to where you can purchase the books but my little tip go for the none Amazon books as they are the rarer and more likely to sellout in the short term.
On hearing the idea for this project I thought it was brilliant, I was fortunate enough to meet Antonio in a pub in London after a Photo Forum talk. For two years he photographed the site of every murder with in the M25 (the London orbital road). The result is a visual record of murder in the UK’s capital. The photos are taken a few days after the murders have taken place when the police have left the scene, this means some of the images are just ordinary street scenes with nothing untoward while others depict grieving relatives and friends. To set him self apart from the paparazzi, Antonio always shot on a tripod and always asked for the permission of relatives to photograph the spot if they were nearby.
Most people know Martin Parr’s work from his use of high saturation film from the 80s. The work in the Non-Conformists are all black and white photos that document the Yorkshire town of Hebden Bridge in the 70s. The photos in the book are accompanied by Susie Parr’s writing about the people and life in Hebden Bridge. Non-Conformists is a comprehensive record of a way of life that is now changed beyond all recognition. When the material for the book was put together Hebden Bridge was a working mill town, now its main industry is tourism. Photographs in the book are currently on show at the Media Space at the Science Museum in London along with Tony Ray-Jones work until March 14th, I wrote about that exhibition in this blog post, it’s well worth a trip to London.
Gauapa-mente contains photos from Ewen’s mid Summer trip to Naples, where he photographed the city and its beaches to document the Italian Youth culture. This zine is limited to an edition of 300 and there are still copies for sale. If you are into youth culture and fashion this is definitely for you, a steal for £5. Also by Ewen Spencer and on my Christmas list is his new book: UKG which documents the early days of the UK garage scene which is also available in limited edition gold.
Living With Epilepsy is a intermit 24 month portrait of Simon who lives with epilepsy, he suffers from generalized seizures which means he will just drop without warning at any time. His “drop attacks” quite often result in head injuries. This is a small part of Jim’s wider project “Small Town Inertia”. This publication is über rare and sold out its limited print run of 150 in a few hours. His next title “Diary entries” with Cafe Royal books goes on sale on the 19th of December, set your Alarms early if you want to get in on the action of this great documentary photographer’s work.
I acquired a copy of this newspaper after Jason’s MiniClick talk, I don’t believe it’s available for purchase online. The newspaper was originally sold in South African galleries and distributed for free in certain communities in Johannesburg. It’s a slimmed down version of his book ‘Tales from the City of Gold’. The newspaper and the book documents the vast mine waste dumps that dominate the South African’s capitals landscape. Mine dumps are huge toxic man made hills sometimes containing billions of tons of material. Even though they are an environmental hazard people live on and around them. The book / newspaper explores the social and environmental impact of Johannesburg’s mining past.
Simon Roberts traveled the length and breadth of the UK with a 4 x 5″ plate camera documenting the UKs piers. This is a beautiful large format photo book that has photographs of every Pier in the UK.
Iain McKell has been documenting every aspect of British life from Gypsies to Punks and super models since the 1970s. This book is a great over view of his work, I purchased this after a photo forum talk where he spoke about his ‘The New Gypsies’ book which is out of print and is listed on amazon UK for between £280 for a used copy and £3750 for a new copy. It’s listed on the US amazon for a mere $30? Hopefully there will be a reprint coming soon.
‘This is the Day’ was released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the ‘March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom’ where Martin Luther King, Jr gave his historic “I Have a Dream” speech. Contained within the book are collection photos that range from wide images that show the scale of the event to intimate portraits of individuals who attended the march.
Limited to just 1500 copies Afghanistan documents the civilian victims of the war in Afghanistan. Giles Duley himself was a victim of an IED attack in 2011 where he lost both legs and one arm. In 2012 he returned to Afghanistan to document what goes on in the hospitals and medical centres that deal with civilian victims. It goes without saying that it’s a really hard hitting portrayal of the people who are affected the war on terror, but definitely worthy of any photo book collection.
I first became aware of Stuart’s work after I saw his Belfast images in the Brighton Photo fringe in 2010. Stuart was a regimental photographer in the Paratroopers in the 80s in Northern Ireland. The book is a mix of images from patrols and the strange life of a soldier on base. The pigs disco refers to the Sunday night discos that where held on base where local girls where invited on base to socialize with the Paras. This is a hybrid photo / written account which goes into crazy detail of life of a squaddie in Northern Island.
If that has left you hungry fore more you can check my last to photo books posts here and here. MiniClick are also doing a photo book advent calendar that is highlighting a different photo book each day in the run up to Christmas.

No problem. What time do the new go on sale Monday? Need to set my Alarm!
Some great book titles here many of which I had never heard of. Those Cafe Royal books are a beautiful thing. I recently purchased a couple of them one of which is the “Brittania Coconut Dancers” which is right up my alley. Coming from England I appreciate the quirky and spent 3 months of last summer back in England photography the bizarre?
Two of my favourite books are England Observed by John Gay and retrospective by Jeff Carter a Australian photographer sadly now passed away. He went around photographing Outback and rural Australia in the 1960s. He had work published in National Geographic too.
This is probably old news to you but the UK Black and White photography magazine ran an article for about 3 years? each month they would feature a certain book and eventually built up into a whole library of mostly documentary works.
Thanks for a great informative site. I am in the process of updating mine and have added some Lawn Bowl pictures of all things!
I did not know about the Black and White photography mag. I am in the lucky position that I get to go to about at least 60 photography talks a year in Brighton and London where I find out about all these book first hand. I will have to check out John Gay’s and Jeff Carter’s work thanks.

The Kalamazoo Civic Theatre's second Carver Center Studio production this season, The Father, opens this Friday, February 8th. Andre is 80 years old. A former tap dancer (...or engineer?), he lives with his daughter Anne and her husband Antoine (no... not Antoine. Pierre? Pierre.) One thing Andre is sure about is that he's still wearing his pajamas and can't seem to find his watch. Deeply poignant and darkly humorous, The Father explores life with dementia.
According to a press release from the Kalamazoo Civic Theatre, director Atis Kleinbergs brings his real-life experience as a clinical social worker into the rehearsal room. Along with Cassidy Ardelean, the Program Coordinator for the Michigan Great Lakes Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, they approach this delicate subject matter with both reverence and humor.
The Father plays in the Carver Center Studio February 8, 9, 15 and 16 at 7:30pm and February 10 and 17 at 2:00pm. General Admission tickets are just $10 and can be purchased by clicking here, or by calling the Civic Box Office directly at 269-343-1313. When making ticket arrangements, please keep in mind that this production is recommended for audiences age 12 and up.

Sorghum-related plants, like cane, sudangrass, shattercane, and milo can be highly toxic during certain growing conditions.
A killing freeze already has occurred in parts of the country, prompting livestock producers to wonder when their cattle can graze alfalfa, sorghum-sudangrass and sudangrass safely.
Livestock producers are concerned about bloat. It occurs when gases created by fermentation cause the rumen reticulum (part of the cow’s stomach) to inflate or overstretch.
“In reality, the few days immediately after a frost, the bloat potential in alfalfa goes much higher,” says Carl Dahlen, an associate professor in North Dakota State University’s Animal Sciences Department.
A killing freeze ruptures all of the cell walls, creating the potential for bloat to be highest directly following the killing freeze.
Sorghum, sorghum/sudangrass and sudangrass are annual warm-season forage crops planted for silage, haylage or hay, or they can be planted in cover crop mixtures. These grasses contain cyanide, which can be toxic to livestock.
The intact, still-bonded cyanide and glycosides are not poisonous, but when certain enzymes are present, they are highly toxic to animals. The enzymes involved in the hydrolysis usually are in the same plant, but they may be available from other sources. An animal’s digestive juices may cause the hydrolysis to occur.
This intact glycoside occurs in these plants under normal growing conditions. When livestock eat plants that contain such glycosides, are more than 18 to 24 inches tall and are not under water stress, the animals readily eliminate the glycosides before enough concentration occurs to be harmful.
However, certain conditions such as frost and a killing freeze may increase cyanogenic glycosides in the plants, Sedivec cautions. Wilting and frost injury may cause a rapid increase of prussic acid in a plant that would otherwise have been nontoxic.
Prussic acid is released very quickly from the glycoside form in frozen leaves, so frosted leaves are very dangerous to eat until they begin to dry out. Typically, once the leaves are totally brown or dead, usually seven days after a killing frost, the aboveground portion of these forage plants is safe to graze.

A friend of mine (David Walker – who played QB at Texas A&M in the 1970s) is always pointing out interesting stats and facts from the years he played football at Texas A&M. The most recent stat that he brought to my attention is that the 1976 Texas Aggie football team is the only one to: (1) defeat the University of Texas in Austin, (2) win a bowl game, and (3) finish the season ranked in the top-10 (AP No. 7 and UPI No. 8).
Three other Aggie teams have come close to accomplishing this particular trifecta, but fell short due to no fault of their own. Those three teams were the 1939 (National Champions), the 1985 SWC Champions, and the 1987 SWC Champions. Each of these three teams (1) defeated the University of Texas at Kyle Field, (2) won their bowl game, and (3) finished the season ranked in the top-10. The only difference being that these three teams played the Longhorns at Kyle Field as opposed to playing them in Austin.

All qdiscs discussed so far are egress qdiscs. Each interface however can also have an ingress qdisc which is not used to send packets out to the network adaptor. Instead, it allows you to apply tc filters to packets coming in over the interface, regardless of whether they have a local destination or are to be forwarded.
As the tc filters contain a full Token Bucket Filter implementation, and are also able to match on the kernel flow estimator, there is a lot of functionality available. This effectively allows you to police incoming traffic, before it even enters the IP stack.
This allows you to have other, sending, qdiscs on your device besides the ingress qdisc.
For a contrived example how the ingress qdisc could be used, see the Cookbook.

Is it irresponsible to take holidays when you can’t afford to?
Let me clarify. If anyone out there wants to go on holidays, feel free. However, if you can’t afford going on holidays, I think it would be a good idea to hold off until you have the spare cash to do so. I come from a family where you only did things when you could afford to do so – if you wanted something special or extra, like holidays, you saved up for them – you didn’t go into debt.
Which is why I think this article in today’s Irish Independent Personal Finance section, and the research behind it, is a little dangerous. At times when loan interest rates are increasing, and as a country we’re experiencing the collective financial belt-tightening, it doesn’t really seem like a good idea to be encouraging taking out loans to go on holidays.

As storytellers, our hearts take on many forms through our work. Our dear friend, Alessio, started a book called “Life of Chloe” but sadly passed before he could finish his work. As friends and peers, we have taken on the task of finishing his work in the only way we know how- together. We are a collective, friends, artists, lovers, mothers, and fathers and as such we all bring our own experiences to the table every time we tell a story. Alessio loved the mobile community and sought to bring us together to form stronger bonds. The Life of Chloe was a labor of love for Ale and it only seemed fitting to continue his story with ours as his light was snuffed out way too early.
In this article you will find the original chapters that Ale wrote and we are using these as a stepping stone and prologue to the collaborative book Grryo is writing to honor Alessio and his passing.
We do hope you will continue on this journey that Ale started and see the world through Chloe’s eyes.
everything had to be pre arranged. All the times.
The calls, the meetings in faraway places, the hidden love.
No room for spontaneity and sharing.
Tutto doveva essere preorganizzato. Sempre.
Le chiamate, gli incontri clandestini in posti lontani, l’amore nascosto.
Nessuno spazio per la spontaneità e la condivisione.
Chloe thought of her Mum when this sayin got to her Head, she was the one who first suffered from wrong choices in her Life.
Chloe ripensò a sua mamma quando questa frase le tornò alla mente, proprio lei era stata la prima a soffrire per decisioni sbagliate nella sua vita.
In that very moment, a chilly breeze blew her hat away.
In quel preciso momento, una ventata di aria gelida fece volare il suo cappello.
…Many years passed since that winter day.
Chloe took what was left of her life, and never turned back.
Sometimes, early in the morning, she finds herself staring at the safe eyes of the mountains outside her bedroom window.
Not a noise. No regrets.
and holds in her arms the son of that far away man.
…Molti anni trascorsero da quel giorno d’inverno.
Chloe prese quel poco che le era rimasto della sua vita, e non si voltò indietro.
A volte, presto al mattino, si ritrova a fissare quegli occhi sicuri e protettivi, di quelle montagne aldifuori dalla finestra della sua camera da letto.
e stringe tra le sue braccia il figlio di quell’uomo ormai lontano.
After you tried to kill me all those times before, i can still walk under the rain.
Hello Rain and Thunderstorms. Wash my skin today, because i have no fear to stay here naked under your eyes.
Hello Blacks and hello Whites. Both sides of me are now one, and no one will take the colors away from me again.
Hello Sea. Where would I be without you near?
Hello Death. You tried to win over me, maybe you put baby in the corner, but you missed your chance to beat me down.
Hello Life, i’ve been to my funeral and i watched them all. You taught me where my limits end, and how to rise again. Like a Phoenix.
“start a new day, but not alone…” The radio was playin that song and it was too early in the morning.
When was the last time i woke up with someone who really cared about me?
When was the last time i woke up with someone at all?
When did i open up the window to see the first sun rays of a new day?
When were you here with me the last time?
This scar on my ankle is pulsin blood straight to my heart now. It lives there to remind me how evil can transform you, how it spreads fast inside you, like a virus in need of fresh human skin. That scar is your scar, your legacy, your tied knot. It is not hurtin today, must be the sun and my inner peace to let you finally off of my body.
The weather forecast is always wrong with me, they never seem to understand the heavy responsibility of their predictions on my life.
I am addicted to weather. I can smell the rain before you even run for shelter, i can listen to snow falling for hours without uttering a sound, i can see through the fog.
One month was just passed in those familiar and close surroundings.
ALL the one lifetime friends did come and say the words. The paths of the childhood were all bypassed with a smile on their lips and a sense of belongin in a dreamy tale.
The elder, the newborns, the classic players and actors in that small Town theatre Set, all of them somehow updated to these new, confused and crisis-full times.
But one thing was still and strong out of the picture.
Nobody seemed to understand how complex and precious that was.
Like a free unlimited bonus earned in some lottery.
And she could not take this anymore.
So she wrote her usual two words to say Goodbye to the friends of her past and decided to take the long walk across the beachline.
The family was in silence, busy in moving and caring of the child. No loss of anything. Focused on their task, at that very moment.
“Thank you!!!” – CHLOE said from the distance.
Only in that moment I realized it was him.
The voice from the past. The Only One Man who ever made her lunatic head go bump and bump against the Walls.
YES. I waited. I Looked. I Burned. I Closed.
Oh, look! There is a Man fading away today. He looks NOT in peace. I have to go and See him.
Chloe moved to sing her song of strength to that Man in Agony! She realized he was a young Father, as soon as he saw a little man playin with a flower just next to him.
She asked him “What is your Name?”, but remained astonished from the answer she got.
They shared an earphone. The guitar riffs were gone.
Chloe got closer and sang to his ear “Sweet Child Of Mine” and the pain went away.
A long gone small tower down Italian history.
Senza fronzoli. Un uomo anziano Una torre antica in un antico villaggio italiano.
A Sunday spent “with the top rolled down”.
The one friends that count the most. More than relatives.
The cloudy lights and warmth and wind. The serenity of someone who blocks your heavy thoughts.
In the small and big things of LIFE.
Luci grigie e nuvolose di un cielo e del vento. La serenità di chi blocca i pensieri più pesanti e l’ansia. Il significato di un legame nelle piccole e grandi cose della vita.

MUMBAI (Reuters) - India on Saturday finalised a policy that would allow local private companies to work with foreign players to make high-tech defence equipment, in a boost to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s bid to cut reliance on imports.
The policy, whose finer details are still to be formalised, will initially allow the entry of private companies into the manufacture of submarines, fighter aircrafts and armoured vehicles through foreign partnerships, a statement issued by the Defence Ministry said.
“In future, additional segments will be added,” the statement said.
Industry experts have said that delays in finalising procurement policies have undermined India’s efforts to get local, largely inexperienced, companies to tie up with foreign manufacturers, a necessary step if domestic firms are to utilise the latest technology.
Prime Minister Modi has vowed to reverse India’s dependence on imports by building a local manufacturing industry. The government is forecast to spend $250 billion on modernisation of its armed forces over the next decade.
The policy, announced on Saturday, would allow Indian companies to partner with global defence majors “to seek technology transfers and manufacturing know-how to set up domestic manufacturing infrastructure and supply chains,” the statement said.
Foreign manufacturers such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, BAE Systems and Saab are looking to India as one of the biggest sources of future growth.

SHIVAS NAT is in a world of blues, garage and acid rock.
Shivas Nat plays their psychedelic garage/blues-rock with an authentic and mind-blowing sound, that under the right circumstances will take you straight back to the colored mists and patterns of the early 1970’s.
SHIVAS NAT was formed in late 2011 by Patrick Lykke Heinsøe (ex-Highway Child) on guitar/vocals and Aleksander Trap-Jensen on drums.
Having existed shortly as a duo, Morten Clod-Svensson (ex-Fuzz Manta) joined in on bass, and later Bjørn Sunesen (Willow’s Tale) stepped in, bringing organ and extra guitar.
During 2012, Shivas Nat marked themselves at the Kildemose Festival and the Copenhagen scene as an interesting band to follow.
After having toured several times across Denmark, Germany, Austria and France in the spring of 2013, the band has now established themselves as an international name, and created a strong base for the future.

Writing on Good Friday, 29 March 1918, Pound warned Joyce of the possibility that the Egoist and the Little Review would be suppressed because of Joyce’s language. He claimed that he wouldn’t mind suppression on account of what Joyce had written in the first episode of Ulysses, but thinks that in episode four, the ‘Calypso’ episode, Joyce has overdone it.
In his letter to Joyce, Pound made clear what he objected to and why, but slightly disingenuously he neglected to tell Joyce that he had deleted about twenty lines from the typescript before sending it to Margaret Anderson at the Little Review in New York. Joyce didn’t find this out until later, and in a letter to Harriet Weaver in July 1918 he makes it clear that what appeared in the Little Review was not his full text and that any deleted parts would have to be reinstated in future.
Pound claimed that some of the writing in ‘Calypso’ is bad simply because Joyce had used stronger words than he needed to. For instance, he claimed that the contrast between Bloom’s poetic thoughts and his somewhat squalid surroundings would come across just as well without such a detailed description of Bloom going to the toilet. He even complained of Joyce’s use of the word “urine” in the first paragraph of the episode and claimed that Joyce’s excremental language would blind readers to the passages of quality.
Pound said he hoped that maybe an unexpurgated text could appear in a Greek or Bulgarian translation later, but his implication was that it could not appear in English, on either side of the Atlantic, at this time. He also warned Joyce that if the magazines were suppressed too often they might be suppressed for good. That outcome, he warned, would benefit no one, and he added that he could not have his editor (Margaret Anderson) jailed for something written without sufficient mastery.
The passages in ‘Calypso’ deleted by Pound when he sent the typescript to the Little Review include the mention of “loosening of the bowels” and “undoing the waistband of his trousers,” as well as much of the description of Bloom sitting on the toilet, and wiping himself and exiting the jakes at the end of the episode. ‘Calypso,’ in Pound’s censored version, was published in the Little Review in June 1918.

The wait is over. Chase Elliott has won his first-career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race. He held off 2017 MENCS champion Martin Truex Jr. in a thrilling finish in the Go Bowling at the Glen at Watkins Glen Sunday. His win came in his 99th career start, just over halfway thru his third full-time season with powerhouse Hendrick Motorsports. That may not be exactly the fairytale Elliott imagined when he dreamt of becoming a Cup star like his father. But both William Clyde Elliott’s, son and father, had to suffer some near-misses before their Victory Lane kisses.
Each driver started with a family racing team. Chase with his affluent and established father’s Bill Elliott Racing stable and Bill with his brothers Ernie and Dan and father and car dealer George. The Elliott matriarch, Mildred, was both a moral and financial mainstay on Bill’s team. Chase’s mom, Cindy, was and is still a marketing and PR maven.
Chase had a bigger leg up starting out than Bill did, very simply because of Bill’s Hall of Fame success and comeuppance in a time when NASCAR was booming. Chase blazed through go karts and Legends cars to being a late model campaign at age 13. He won in the first two months of the 2009 season and won the Georgia Asphalt Series championship as a rookie. The fairytale was in place.
Bill succeeded on the short tracks, but struggled when he first got to Cup. This was in a different time, when really almost anyone with a car could enter and make the fields of races. Elliott’s scrappy, but ingenuitive literal band of brothers got the No. 9 Ford to the racetrack for part-time schedules from 1976-1982. But Bill didn’t get his first top 10 until his 16th start (the 1977 Southern 500) and often fell victim to the most common occurrences in races of the era: attrition. With so many levels of cars and so little of the polished sophistication and advancement of today’s generation, just finishing a 500-mile race was a miracle. Finishing on the lead lap was nearly akin to winning. So when the light switch of consistency flipped on, Bill’s results suddenly exceeded what was expected of smaller teams in those years.
Chase had great equipment through his ascent, but ran into a bit of a roadblock in 2011. At just 15-years-old, the high school sophomore signed a driver development deal with Hendrick Motorsports at a time when those were no longer en vogue. Along with his heavy pro and super late model diet, Elliott would now compete full-time for Hendrick in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East.
The heavier K&N cars, higher experience level, and fact that Elliott was with a new team against more experienced ones in that series meant that his results were far more pedestrian than they had been in late models. Elliott had zero wins and only six tops 10s in 12 races in 2011 and just one win in the series in 2012 (the combined East and West series race at Iowa Speedway). He finished 9th and 4th in the points in his two years in K&N. Max Gresham won the 2011 championship. Kyle Larson did so in 2012.
Elliott kept burning up the local short tracks through those years and ran a partial schedule in ARCA and the Camping World Truck Series in 2013, garnering a quick win in each. He also won crown jewel paved short track races: the All-American 400, Winchester 400, and World Crown 300. He was rolling and ready to jump.
When NAPA Auto Parts left Michael Waltrip Racing, they partnered with Chase and JR Motorsports for the 2014 Xfinity Series campaign, a season where Elliott won three races and the championship with ease. On the eve of his 2015 campaign, Hendrick motorsports tapped the 19-year-old as Jeff Gordon’s replacement in the legendary No. 24 Chevy for 2016.
Elliott also drove five races in Cup for Hendrick in a NAPA No. 25 in preparation for his 2016 Cup career. He had a disastrous debut at Martinsville, but put together some solid runs aside from that. His 2015 NXS campaign netted just one win and a second-place points finish to champ and older young gun Chris Buescher. But Elliott remained extremely consistent in the No. 9 Chevy and carried momentum into the anointed 2016 Cup Series campaign.
Fairytale: commence. Elliott won the pole for the Daytona 500 and garnered extraordinary hype. But he got loose in the tri-oval early in the race and wrecked, as he raced three-wide in the middle. The rookie remained consistent, however, scoring his first-career top 10 the very next week at his hometrack, Atlanta Motor Speedway. Elliott went on an incredible run of top 10s and top 5s in the spring and early summer, then got into some scrapes and poor finishes. But he then scored his first of eight-career runner-up finishes at Michigan in August. Winner Kyle Larson passed him with 10 laps to go.
Elliott made a deep run into the 2016 Playoffs, but a wreck on a restart at Charlotte Motor Speedway swept him up and took him from championship contention. All in all, however, 2016 was a great rookie campaign and his numbers in 2017 were better. But a pattern had developed.
Elliott just wasn’t great at holding his position on restarts. He lost a World Crown 300 at Gresham Motorsports Park early in his Super Late Model career on a late race restart. And he famously lost several races in 2017 late in the going. Elliott finished 2nd in three out of four races to start the 2017 playoffs, including a Dover race he had in hand.
At Dover, Elliott had a comfortable lead, but didn’t change his line as Kyle Busch ate into the cushion. Busch passed Elliott with two laps to go. Elliott also led late at Martinsville, before Denny Hamlin infamously used him up and spun him out of contention for the race and likely the championship.
Then two races later on a late race restart at Phoenix, Elliott took the lead from Matt Kenseth, who made his Cup debut subbing for Bill in 1998. The restart, by the way, came as a result of Elliott and Hamlin racing hard, Elliott pinching Hamlin into the wall and giving him a tire rub, and Hamlin wrecking. Payback. Elliott led for 19 laps and then Kenseth got by him with 10 laps to go for his sentimental last win in the No. 20 car. Elliott was out of the Playoffs.
Hendrick Motorsports’ performance has been sluggish in 2018 and Elliott’s results have followed that arc. But the No. 9 team, rebranded for 2018 but with his No. 24 crew, has often beaten its four stablemates. Elliott got his 8th-career runner-up at Richmond in the spring, though he didn’t lead a lap. And while the No. 9 hasn’t been a factor most of the year, it has shown some life the last three weeks. Elliott was 5th at New Hampshire, 7th at Pocono (another race that he faded on the end race run), and then won Watkins Glen. He won Stage 2 in each race. Elliott was rapping on the winning door yet again.
Sunday’s race didn’t seem like Elliott’s at first, though the No. 9 started 3rd. Kyle Busch’s No. 18 Toyota was on a rail, dominating Stage 1 until strategically pitting just before the green-checkered flag. Martin Truex Jr. won the stage and hung in the top 5 all race long. Busch, Elliott, Truex Jr., and Denny Hamlin all duked out the top 4 spots for much of the day, but Elliott won Stage 2 outright. He then lost the race off of pit road in a strange pit sequence that saw him almost run over a crew member and Busch have to pit again for a fueling issue. Busch’s miscue gave Elliott the lead on the restart and set up an epic Stage 3 showdown with Truex Jr.
As Truex Jr.’s No. 78 Toyota closed in on Elliott’s No. 9, one could almost hear the “Jaws” music. Elliott Nation, just like any Georgia or Atlanta sports fan, was waiting for the choke once again. On a tricky road course, the chances for foibles are plentiful. Elliott almost cashed it in on Turn 1 of the final lap - he wheel-hopped. He broke down what happened in the Hendrick Motorsports post-race press release.
Elliott has infamously been hard on himself after his failures to execute. But he acknowledged that those hard times got him to where he is now.
Recalling these moments and the early career of who is now the heir to the moniker of NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver gives a pathology of where Elliott is now. He no longer has to answer the question of how much pressure he is under to win. Really, he has gotten that question since he was in grade school. And Elliott has always had to live in the shadow (or glow) of his father’s greatness and expectations based upon the smoothly paved road to his career.
Elliott and his Alan Gustafson-led team have certainly persevered through their hard times. That’s gained them the character of these losses - loss being something Elliott even surprisingly experienced in some of his formative racing years. And with that character - and now a win - there is hope for more Victory Lane champagne and, with a guaranteed playoff berth, even a championship.

Champions of the in-between, Real Lies started on the outskirts and they intend to stay there.
Even today, the three of them don’t have specific band roles. Guitars and electronics entangle, with Kev Kharas obsessing over loops or barely-there samples before applying lyrics that, when executed, walk a tightrope between spoken word and melody. He cites one of Pat’s loops (for ‘North Circular’) that reached up to 2,000 plays before it even became a song. “I let it sink into my brain. That was the ambient noise I was hearing wherever I went,” he remembers.
Some of the trio’s songs were coined on a whim. Others took two years, going back to early days where Watson and Kharas took residence in a permanent party house by a reservoir. They describe the place as “artless”, anything but a “music house”. One night, the music was being played so loud that a chancer climbed through Tom’s window and stole his laptop, containing a recording of new song ‘Dab Housing’, which was finished on the very same day. Hence why it took so long for some of these recordings to come to light.
“At no point did we sit down and give ourselves a band name or decide to release what we were making,” says Tom. It was only when they finished debut ‘Deeper’ that they decided to share something, instead of keeping this spare hours project to themselves. “We spent about a month worrying about it and arguing about it,” Tom remembers, but eventually it saw the light of day, backed by a Rollo Jackson-directed video.

This remarkable natural environment features stunning fiords, spectacular waterfalls and snow-capped peaks. Ancient rainforest clings impossibly to the mountains; waterfalls tumble hundreds of meters into massive fiords; shimmering lakes and granite peaks look the same today as they did a thousand years ago.
A fiord is defined as a u-shaped glacier-carved valley which has been flooded by the sea. The fourteen fiords that fringe this south-west corner of the South Island were 100,000 years in the making, with the final details added during the most recent ice age just 10,000 years ago. On all sides of the fiords, spectacular waterfalls tumble incessantly as the region's plentiful rainfall finds its way to the sea. Described by Rudyard Kipling as the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World’, Milford Sound is always spectacular - daily scenic flights and cruises reveal its beauty to visitors. At 421 metres, Doubtful Sound is the deepest of New Zealand’s fiords. It’s a haven for nature, with resident bottlenose dolphins, fur seals and penguins.
The remaining two-thirds of Fiordland National Park is covered by virgin beech and pod carp forest. A 500-kilometre network of walking treks allows visitors to explore the primaeval world of mountain peaks, alpine lakes and moss-carpeted valleys. In 1990 Fiordland was listed as a United Nations World Heritage site and given the name Te Wahipounamu - 'the place of greenstone', after the area's most treasured mineral resource.

The Charles Schwab Corporation ("Schwab") appreciates the opportunity to comment on the Draft Interagency White Paper on Sound Practices to Strengthen the Resilience of the U.S. Financial System (the "White Paper"). Schwab is a financial holding company, as defined in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, serving broker-dealer clients through its Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., Schwab Capital Markets L.P. and CyberTrader, Inc. subsidiaries, and bank clients through U.S. Trust Corporation and its depository subsidiaries. Schwab has approximately eight million active customer accounts, most of whom are individual retail investors. We thus have a significant interest in regulatory and industry efforts to ensure that the U.S. financial markets recover as quickly as possible and remain accessible to our customers following a wide-spread regional disruption such as occurred on September 11, 2001.
Like most financial services firms, Schwab has developed a business continuity plan designed to ensure that we can recover as quickly as possible from unforeseen service disruptions, system failures, emergencies, and natural disasters. We have committed significant capital expenditures to building redundancy and resilience into our technology platform, establishing reliable back-up systems and alternative communication channels, separating critical operational, application, and processing functions, and constructing primary and back-up data centers in geographic regions posing minimal risks of natural and other disasters. We have also devoted considerable resources to establishing contingency response teams and cross-training personnel to provide support to operational areas and service channels that could be affected by a disruption or disaster. As a result, we are keenly aware of the risk-based assessments and the technological and personnel challenges that underlie all business continuity planning.
We support the agencies' commitment to strengthening the resilience of the U.S. financial markets through the development of industry and marketwide business continuity planning strategies. We also appreciate the agencies' willingness to work with the industry to ensure that these strategies are feasible and realistic. To that end, we concur with the comments on the White Paper submitted by the Securities Industry Association and the Financial Services Roundtable.1 We support their recommendation that the agencies avoid prescriptive or "one size fits all" requirements and instead provide guidance that allows firms to design business continuity plans that best address the risks associated with their operations. In particular, we support their recommendation that the agencies avoid imposing strict "out of region," separate labor pool, or minimum distance requirements for back-up facilities. We also agree that the recovery targets suggested in the White Paper are unrealistic and do not represent an emerging industry standard. Recovery time necessarily depends on a number of variables, such as the nature and extent of the disruption, the time it occurs, and the critical activities affected by it. Moreover, recovery time is often dependent on components of the nation's infrastructure external to the firm, such as telecommunications systems.
We are writing separately to provide additional context for our position that the agencies should avoid imposing rigid "out of region" or minimum distance requirements on the location of back-up facilities. We also write to urge the agencies to expand the scope of their efforts to address retail financial services and to encourage greater coordination of recovery strategies among market participants, exchanges and utilities, and infrastructure providers.
As do other commenters, we believe the best approach to this issue would be to provide general guidance specifying the factors that firms should take into consideration in determining where to locate their back-up facilities. These factors should include access to labor, water supply, transportation networks, and power and telecommunications infrastructure, as well as the susceptibility of the region in which facilities are located to natural disasters and other disruptions. So long as a firm's decision is based on a proper consideration of these and other factors, it should not be prohibited from locating its back-up facilities within the same geographic region as its primary facilities.
We believe Schwab's back-up arrangements are an example of an effective in-region approach. We have established two fully redundant data centers in the Phoenix, Arizona metro region to support the operations of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.2 We chose the Phoenix region as the site for our data centers based in large part on its lack of susceptibility to catastrophic natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, severe snow or rain storms, and flooding from overflowing rivers or dam breaks. The Phoenix region is also not a major commercial center, nor does it contain a high concentration of critical market facilities, high profile businesses, or government offices, thus reducing the likelihood that it might be a target for large-scale terrorist activity.
Our selection of sites for our data centers within the Phoenix region was constrained by the distance limitations of current technologies, such as synchronous processing and data-mirroring (the facilities are approximately 10 miles apart). However, the sites we selected were chosen to minimize the threat that both facilities could be impacted by a single disaster or disruption. For example, both facilities are located outside the downtown Phoenix area, are on separate flood plains, and are supported by separate power grids and different telecommunication channels. In the event that both power grids are impacted by a single event, both facilities are equipped with generators capable of running for 72 hours before refueling. Each facility is accessible by alternate transportation routes which are free of bridges, tunnels, rivers or other structures that could potentially block access in the event of a natural disaster or act of sabotage.3 Finally, depending on the nature of the disruption to our primary facility, we can staff the back-up facility by transferring employees from the primary facility, using off-duty personnel, or bringing in staff from outside the area. We are currently working towards having the ability to operate both data centers remotely for several days in the unlikely event that neither facility is accessible.
As we understand it, the White Paper is concerned primarily with ensuring that market utilities and critical firms recover their back office functions so that pending transactions can be completed, as opposed to ensuring that firms can resume operations and initiate new transactions. Indeed, the White Paper expressly states that the proposed sound practices focus on minimizing the immediate systemic effects of wide-scale regional disruption of critical wholesale financial markets and do not address issues relating to retail financial services.
In our view, the agencies' focus should be on ensuring that the U.S. financial markets are up and running for retail consumers as soon as possible following a wide-spread regional disruption. This requires more than ensuring that critical market participants can meet their obligations to one another. It also includes addressing the ability of firms to resume their business operations and provide their customers with access to their accounts and the markets, as well as the ability of exchanges and other market centers to recover and resume operations. Retail consumers are, in the end, the most important market constituency, and the ultimate goal of any strategy to strengthen market resiliency should be to ensure that they can access their assets, financial services, and the markets as quickly as possible following a wide-scale disruption. It will be cold comfort for retail consumers to know that their financial institutions are able to balance their books if they cannot access their assets to pay their own mortgages and meet other obligations.4 Accordingly, we urge the agencies to take a more comprehensive approach that addresses access for retail consumers to their financial services providers.
Finally, we believe it is essential that the agencies address the need for all critical components that support the U.S. financial systems -- including exchanges and other market centers, market utilities, and critical infrastructure providers such as telecommunications networks - to have coordinated business continuity strategies in place. Many of the problems following September 11 stemmed from the inability of the exchanges to resume operations, single points of failure in the telecommunications networks, and unilateral decisions made by certain market centers. This lack of coordination exacerbated the systems and operational issues facing financial services firms and created confusion for retail customers.
Again, we appreciate the opportunity to provide comments on the White Paper and look forward to continuing to work with the agencies and others in the industry on this important issue.

2 Support for U.S. Trust's primary operations is also handled by our Phoenix facilities, while support for its back-up operations is currently being migrated to Phoenix. Schwab Capital Markets L.P. and CyberTrader, Inc. are supported by similarly redundant facilities located in the northern New Jersey region and Texas, respectively.
3 In addition, our back-up facilities are located more than two miles from any railroad or freeway, are far from major airports, are not on any flight path, are in a minimal traffic area, and are within two miles of a fire department.
4 We note that on September 13 and 14, 2001, Schwab opened its money market funds and some short-term bond funds for transactions by our retail clients, even though the equities markets remained closed -- precisely so our clients could meet their short-term liquidity needs. We believe such steps are important to maintain the confidence of retail customers in our financial system.

Golf operators, clubs and tourist boards will gather in Cancun next week for the 10th International Golf Travel Market (IGTM).
The event, from December 3-6, has tripled in size since it began in 1998 - from 131 exhibitors representing 16 countries to 392 representing 55 countries.
According to the Golf Benchmark Report 2006, there are now over 57 million golfers and 31,000 golf courses worldwide.
“The golf travel market is expected to further develop over the next 10 years, driven largely by increased life expectancy, improved and cheaper air transport, healthier lifestyles, a growth in disposable income and media coverage in emerging economies,” said a spokesman for IGTM.
Participating for the first time are Panama, Puerto Rico Peru, Indonesia, New Zealand.
Other exhibiting companies include Playa Mujeres Golf Club and Questro Golf (Mexico), Abu Dhabi Golf Club, The Montgomerie (Dubai), Mission Hills Golf Club (China), Kenya Tourist Board, and Carton House (Ireland).
Mark Walsh, Reed Travel Exhibitions group exhibition director, said: “After a decade, the show continues to grow from strength to strength.
“The global reach of the event is highlighted more than ever this year, with a strong presence from USA/Canada, South America Europe, Asia and Africa”.

Hi, I installed latest forge plugin from http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/indigo/ when trying to run the forge console by pressing the play button, forge is not able to start. I get the message "Forge is not running..."
I previously had installed m2eclipse from Eclipse and only installed Forge Tools from the update site.
I'm going to look at your problem rightaway. Are you working with the nighty build of the Forge plugin or one of the milestone builds?
So I have tried to reproduce this without success on my Windows machine.
This combination starts Forge up without any issues. Can you verify what the specific version is of your Forge Tools plugins?
So I'm a bit confused, can any indicate if just the date is wrong or am I downloading from the wrong site.
In the meantime, I took the time to install Windows XP and I am seeing your problem. Apparently the launch immediately terminates for some reason that I have not yet been able to track down. So I don't have any clue (yet) how to solve this.
To get Forge to work from the command prompt I also had to apply a service pack though. This was a JLine issue because JLine apparently uses some dll that is not installed in XP by default. I am suspecting the problem we are seeing is also due to something similar.
I have tracked down the problem and it seems it is caused by spaces in the modulepath when Forge is started. I have created https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9882 and will try to solve it by the end of the week.
Hi Koen, thanks for your update I will give the fix commented in the issue a try and let you know!
Good news! I have solved the problem and the current nightly contains the fix and should work. Let me know if you would still see the problem.

NRS Healthcare has selected Paragon’s routing and scheduling software as part of its commitment to continually improving the quality of service provided to social care users on behalf of the NHS and Local Authorities. The company will use the planning solution to better manage a fleet of 300 vans responsible for the delivery and collection of mobility equipment, wheelchairs and daily living aids, which are allowing people in communities across the UK to live independently and with dignity.
As a leading provider to the social care sector, NRS Healthcare sources, procures, installs, services and recycles over 2,000 different products to help keep people active when mobility becomes difficult following an operation or due to a debilitating health condition. Following the results of a service user feedback survey, the company identified a preference for tighter delivery and collection windows, so it needed an advanced planning tool to replace the existing manual process.
NRS Healthcare initially implemented a pilot scheme in Cambridge and Norfolk using Paragon Integrated Fleets to plan a mixture of 40 home-based and depot-based technicians, with a view to rolling out the software across all 16 depots. Over the course of the trial, the company demonstrated quantifiable service improvements which included the introduction of two-hour time slots. In addition, NRS Healthcare achieved an increase in the number of activities per technician by 28 per cent and 17 per cent at each depot respectively which has provided technicians with a more consistent workload and predictable finish time.
Moving forward, NRS Healthcare’s central planning team will use the routing and scheduling software to schedule daily operational delivery and collection requirements, including both one-and two-man services, across the nationwide depot network. Estimated delivery times for each product will also be incorporated into the planning process to increase schedule accuracy.

by Elizabeth D. Rios, Ed.D. D.Min (ABD).
Pentecostalism has often been accused of being withdrawn from social and political concerns due to an either/or mentality that erroneously makes people feel like they have to choose between evangelism, personal salvation and political engagement. When we look at the Pentecostal movement in its early days we see that there not be such an ultimatum to choose. It is not either/or but both/and.
In my research, I found that in addition to this mindset, lack of knowledge by those in positions of power in the church on things such as how justice is biblical, how civic advocacy is not the same as political campaigning and even their own Pentecostal history has contributed to the passivity of Pentecostals to take a step toward advocating for justice. Interestingly enough, the Pentecostal movement has always thrived among the underprivileged and its success was in how they made leaders out of the very people overlooked and undervalued in society.
Dr. Raymond Rivera would often quip in his office at the Latino Pastoral Action Center in NYC, Pentecostal churches turned the janitor into the Pastor and the housekeeper into the Deacon. This in itself was a prophetic and political activity which challenged power structures and hierarchies, as they elevated the lowly and raised up the oppressed. The Pentecostal church in and of itself stood as not only a beacon of hope but a political declaration to surrounding culture that through the power of the Holy Spirit, they made treasure out of what society deemed as trash.
Some churches are known for having produced leaders that went on to make significant contributions to the movement and in their communities, other churches were known to produce leaders that shook the very foundations of their cities by involving themselves in movements of peace and justice, and still others were so passive the community did not even know they existed. What I’ve found to be true is that this happens because some pastors used their pulpit and classrooms for discipleship that focused not only on who they were being made into as new creations but how they were expected to live out Christ-center practices as citizens. Thus the church in the life of a believer is crucial for their formation not just spiritually but civically. Essentially, where you go to church matters.
Researchers Nathan Todd and Anne Rufa stated, “Understandings of social justice do not develop in a vacuum, and many social settings such as families, schools, and religious congregations provide a rich context for social justice development.”* Therefore, I argue that the church is pivotal to the making of justice crusaders.
However, a pastor, planter, leader does not know what they do not know. Unless exposed to Pentecostal history that discusses the origins of Pentecostalism as a movement of the marginalized in a variety of contexts, they will buy into the nationalistic ideology that has pervaded our westernized view of evangelicalism. If not taught about how in the early 1900s the move of the Spirit was very much political in nature by empowering disciples to stand against inequality while being victimized themselves, they will believe the narrative always taught, evangelism is the only purpose of the church.
Hence, Pentecostal pastors and leaders, use your worship services, your education rooms, your table fellowship as labs not only to hear about how God is working in the lives of your people but to pastor and teach them how to think and act in today’s world from a Jesus centered, practice-based perspective. In this way, discipleship becomes a means of political engagement and people energized by the Spirit are formed into defenders of human dignity committed to both spiritual and social transformation. The rise of the both/and movement has begun.

It’s a pretty scary thing asking an external body to do some research for you and having absolutely no control over the findings. What if you don’t like what they come back with?!
So it was with some nervousness that we decided at Tearfund to team up with the research firm Barna Group to look into connections between caring for people in poverty and spiritual growth.
In particular, we wanted to look at what we call a ‘whole life response’ to poverty. Tearfund is absolutely committed to helping Christians, in the UK and around the world, respond to poverty in a ‘whole life’ way: through prayer, giving, advocacy, lifestyle, and other actions such as volunteering. We summarise that as Pray, Act, Give.
The Gift of Provocation? Tertullian Certainly Had It!
Tertullian (full name Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus) was born at Carthage in North Africa around AD 155, son of a Roman centurion. He trained as a lawyer and had a razor-sharp mind. Little of his early life is known, but at about 40 he became a Christian. Immediately, he began to write – and Christendom hardly knew what had hit it!
At a time of fierce persecution, when many favoured fleeing, he wrote: The blood of the martyrs is [the] seed [of the church], adding that once you start fleeing, you will never stop fleeing!
He took aim at worldly pursuits: All public entertainment damages the spirit.
He castigated the folly of persecutors: If the Tiber rises too high, or the Nile too low, the remedy is always to feed Christians to the lions.
He understood the fleshly human nature that he was confronting: The first reaction to truth is hatred.
Perhaps most biting of all is his judgement on self-centred living: Whoever lives only to benefit himself, benefits the world only when he dies!
In a number of writings, Christoph Blumhardt presented his understanding of the kingdom of God and how it is forever breaking in to life on earth – for that was always God’s intention.

This is the beginning of a voyage which will introduce you the history and people which we know as Les Acadiens......the people of French heritage and background who share a common history and language and who have lived on Canada's East coast for over 250 years.
You will be given a task to do with a specific route to follow and various mini-tasks to do along the way. You will be expected to complete all assignments and follow the directions as given both on-line and by your teacher.
The year is 2055---a very special anniversary for the Acadians. You have been hired by the government of Canada, the Liberal-Democratic-Alliance -Conservatives, or The Big Party for short, to be part of a team doing a census on the Acadians living in Nova Scotia.
A. You and your team are to choose any 10 Acadian families who have settled the province and write a short paragraph on each of them.
1.To begin, click on the link below, scroll and click on the Acadian Odyssey, click on English and click on Acadian Roots. There you will find a list of 55 Acadian family names; choose any 10, click on the names and read about them. Using a word processing document, write a short paragraph on each of them, telling what you have learned. For each of the families, include a drawing of their family crest which is found at the site for each family.
B. In addition to the census, the Big Party has hired you do an in depth study of culture of modern day Acadia.
1.Click the link below .You will find an illustration of the Acadian flag. On the top half sheet of bristol board, make a reproduction the Acadian flag. Reread what you find at the link, and on the bottom half of the sheet of Bristol board, write a short paragraph explaining the origins of the flag and the significance of the symbols such as the three colours and then star.
2. On a separate ½ sheet of Bristol board, draw a map showing major Acadian settlements since 1763; this must be coloured and labeled.
3.Find out the name of the Acadian national anthem by clicking on the link you will find on the page. Give the name in both Latin and English.
4.Return to The Acadian Odyssey, by clicking on the link below. Again, click on English and scroll to and click on Gallery; scroll down until you find the word Churches and click on it. Read about the Saint Bernard church and the Saint Mary's church and record 5 interesting and unique facts about each.
When you have completed all the assignments, pass in your work.
