Since the Sandy Hook tragedy, our center has been flooded with inquiries about school safety technology solutions. As in the wake of the Columbine attack, there has been a veritable explosion of new products and technology solutions for school safety. These new options have ranged from the truly bizarre to some of the most intelligent and practical technology innovations I have seen in 34 years in the campus safety field.
On the bizarre side, vendors have offered bullet resistant white boards, pepper spray canisters mounted in breakable glass cases for classrooms and engineering services to make classrooms and office areas bullet proof (at a cost of only a few million dollars per elementary school). Fortunately, there have also been a host of other more viable school safety solutions that have come to market. These include more robust visitor management systems, improved emergency communications systems and a number of improved duress button systems, to name just a few.
How do schools determine which new school safety technology solutions are the most feasible for their situation and finite budgets? Here are a few considerations our analysts feel are important when evaluating the practicality of new offerings.
1. Solutions focused only on active shooter incidents are of far less value than those that cover an array of threats. A careful evaluation of data reveals that there has not been a significant increase in active shooter incidents in K-12 schools. While the FBI’s recent report, using a different definition for active shooter incidents, does show an increase in settings overall, it does not show a significant increase in K-12 schools. While media coverage of these events has intensified, the reality is that the vast majority of school homicides over the past 15 years do not involve active shooter incidents. While active shooter incidents are a significant concern, and can occur in any public or nonpublic K-12 school, they are still extremely rare events. It is very dangerous to use limited resources to address only rare events if other far more likely types of events that result in more deaths are not also properly addressed.
2. Technologies that have been thoroughly tested in your type of K-12 schools are more likely to work well. For example, it is a good idea for independent schools to check references with other independent schools before selecting a school safety technology. The same is true for charter and parochial schools, as well as rural, suburban and urban public school systems.
3. Regional environmental factors, such as extreme cold, heat, bright sunlight, humidity and dust should also be considered. School safety technology that works extremely well in one setting may sometimes not be as effective for schools with different situations.
4. Sustainability is extremely important. I have seen numerous schools and districts that have expensive and sophisticated school safety technology solutions that are now inoperable. Most typically, these were implemented during periods of heightened concern after a highly publicized school shooting, but funding to sustain the system was cut in later years.
5. It’s important to select school safety technologies that work well with other systems and approaches. We often see situations where a variety of school safety technologies have been implemented in a piecemeal fashion. This is also a situation that is more prone to occur when school officials react to terrifying but rare events such as the Sandy Hook tragedy. A qualified integrator can be invaluable in preventing this type of situation.
6. Major changes in school safety technology should be based on a comprehensive school safety assessment process. An appropriate process is one that is conducted by personnel who are properly trained, vendor-neutral and who use the all-hazards approach. Assessments that are focused primarily on major incidents of violence result in far less effective strategies and can cause increased exposure to civil liability. Whether assessments are conducted by in-house personnel, government agency personnel or private vendors, is not as important as the approach that is utilized. Typically, a properly conducted external assessment is more than cost effective if major upgrades are anticipated.
I have seen many instances where school officials have saved millions of dollars because they conducted a proper assessment. Conversely, I have seen numerous tragic situations where lives have been lost, school officials have been successfully litigated and/or millions of dollars have been frittered away on poorly implemented safety technology approaches. A thoughtful approach that balances statistical risks with a proper evaluation process is a viable success strategy.

One June morning in 2003, I took my seat on an airplane next to man with a powerful face and beautifully pressed clothes. We began talking, and soon he was telling me about the dilemma he faced: A bunch of people in the Democratic Party wanted him to run for president and he didn’t know whether it was the right thing to do. He’d been a career soldier, and pretty well done the commander thing. He liked private life. But some part of him felt that, given the way things were going in the country, maybe it was his duty to try and lead. The problem, he told me, is that when you put yourself into a fight like that, your opponents do whatever they can to destroy you. He wasn’t sure he wanted to subject himself to all that.
The challenge, however, is that it can be notoriously difficult to figure out what our dharma is at a given moment. Even when the right thing to do is obvious, we aren’t always the right person to do it. If I can’t swim, it may be in everyone’s best interest for me not to jump into the river to try to save a drowning child. (Seeing me and assuming I could help, a better swimmer might not jump in; or I might end up needing saving myself.) So the dharmic action for you at a given moment may not be the right action for me. That’s what makes the contemplation of personal dharma so vital.
Suppose you’re Judy, a social activist married to a fellow aid worker and living in Zambia. She’s deeply committed to her work, and she can’t imagine doing anything else with her life. Then she gets pregnant. She doesn’t want to raise a child in a war zone. She doesn’t want to leave the people she’s helping in Africa. She doesn’t want to have an abortion. What is her dharma in that situation?
Or, imagine that you’re Darren, who was recently offered a grant that will allow him the time he needs to finish his novel, but just found out that the grant’s corporate sponsor is a pharmaceutical company known for price-gouging. What should he do?
These are the kind of large and small decisions that dharma is all about.
What personal compass should Judy and Darren use to make their decisions? Should they follow their feelings, which may or may not be skewed by hidden desires or emotional wounds or cultural prejudices? Are there principles they can apply?
Years ago, searching for clues on the path of correct action, I came across one formula that seems to me to cover all bases. It’s a set of traditional guidelines from an Upanishadic text of India, the Yajnavalkya Samhita. Like most ancient wisdom, these prescriptions need to be interpreted to suit contemporary conditions. I offer it to you with a few adaptations of my own, and suggest that you experiment with it yourself.
This is Dharma 101: always begin by checking in with the wisdom of your tradition. My personal guides to dharma include the yamas and niyamas of the Yoga Sutras—non-violence, non-stealing, contentment, truthfulness and the rest; the Buddhist Eight-Fold Path (right speech, right livelihood, etcetera); some of the precepts of Taoism—(“To create without owning, to give without expecting, to fulfill without claiming”); Christ’s beatitudes, the Bhagavad Gita, and certain instructions of my teachers.
You can identify your own wisdom sources. However, if the sacred texts, and even your teacher’s instructions, are to be useful in the crunch, you need to work with them, and actually try to apply them to real life situations.
Suppose the teaching you are working with is equanimity—or as the Bhagavad Gita puts it, ‘even mindedness towards desired and undesired events.’ First, you’d spend some time thinking about what it means. You might ask yourself what the difference is between equanimity and indifference, or whether practicing equanimity means that you never feel your emotions. Once you have a sense of what the teaching means for you, you’d try to put it into action. You might spend a week applying it strictly, and notice how you feel. What thoughts or actions help you feel even-minded? What challenges your equanimity? How do you treat your own emotional ups and downs—do you tend to give into feelings, or to suppress them? What practices can you do to regain your even mindedness when you’ve lost it? You can follow this process with any one of the great wisdom teachings, remembering that it can be as valuable to notice where you ‘fail’ to practice the teaching as to see where you succeed. And as you keep practicing, you’ll begin to find that these pieces of wisdom actually surface when you need them, and help you make wise decisions on your own. For Judy, who has practiced with a Buddhist teacher for several years, the teaching that came to her rescue was ‘openness’—the idea that all situations are workable if we are simply open to them.
The second yardstick for right action, “the practices of the good” invites us to channel the discernment we’ve received, often unconsciously, from observing people who consistently make elevated moral and ethical choices. This is the basic, “What would Martin Luther King do?” (For MLK, you can substitute your Polish grandmother, or the tenth grade teacher who spent her after-school hours helping failing kids.) Or, you can think of the greats in your own field. In thinking through his situation, Darren looked at the examples of great artists of the past, artists whose work was supported by kings and even dictators, and who were driven by the power of their muse to create no matter what the cost. Judy thought of great political activists like Dorothy Day, and of saints like Sarada Devi, the wife of the great saint Ramakrishna, who took care of a mentally unbalanced niece for years, and managed also to be a spiritual teacher to everyone who came to her. As she looked at their lives, she realized that wherever she chose to make her home, she could find work that would satisfy her desire to help society.
The third criteria—“Whatever is agreeable to one’s own self”—is crucial. You might ‘know’ what the books say is the right thing to do. You might long to make the decision that Jesus or Buddha or one of your more saintly friends would have made. But if something feels wrong, then it is probably not your dharma, and that means that you probably shouldn’t do it.
However, feeling “wrong” about a course of action can be hard to distinguish from the resistance that comes up when you’re asked to try something new and challenging. In the same way, feeling “right” can be hard to distinguish from greed or ambition or laziness, or from wanting something so badly that you’ll overlook the warnings from your inner dharma meter.
One way to handle this is to get quiet and ask yourself, “If I did know the right thing to do, what would it be?” Then, when the answer comes up (which it will, believe me), do it. But give yourself permission to re-evaluate your choice in a few weeks, or months, whatever is appropriate. The great blues singer Bessie Smith once sang, “Once ain’t for always, two ain’t but twice.” It’s a great point to remember about dharma. Sometimes, the choice we make based on our best instincts and information turns out to be wrong. Or perhaps the circumstances change. And when that happens, you don’t get points taken off if you change your mind.
That’s what Darren, the novelist with the dicey corporate sponsor, did. He took the grant–after deeply contemplating his own artistic calling, and deciding that he had to take this opportunity to write the book that was bursting to come forth. He reasoned that supporting artists was actually a worthy use of corporate money, and that he was putting the money to good use. Eight months later, after reading a series of articles about how “his” company declined to lower prices on AIDs medicines for poor countries, he stopped feeling right about living off their money. He gave back what was left of it, and got a part-time job. Yet the time the grant had given him had allowed him to get such a good start on the novel that he was actually able to get a small advance. Darren feels fine about both his decisions. As often happens with decisions of dharma, he had made the best choice possible at one moment, and changed course when he received new information.
Judy decided to go home to London when her baby was born, even though a part of her felt that her help was needed in the Zambian bush. “But the truth is, having a newborn was so stressful,” she says, “that I felt I needed some measure of physical comfort and security both for me and for her.” Three years later, she still wonders whether she made the right choice, though she also realizes that there will be time for her to go back to Africa when her daughter is older. It was the fourth of the yardsticks for dharma that finally helped her accept her own situation.
That fourth criteria—“the desire that flows from a wholesome resolve” cuts to the heart of personal dharma. What is a wholesome resolve? It’s essentially an unselfish motivation. The desire to help, to serve the situation, to accept responsibility for creating positive change, to benefit others are perhaps the most powerful forms of wholesome resolve. So are the motivations that come from the vows we take (out loud and silently)—the desire to preserve a family, to maintain good health, to love unconditionally, to complete a difficult project.
Judy’s “wholesome resolve” was to give her child the best possible chance to grow up healthy. In choosing between two different dharmas—her commitment to working with the people of Zambia and her commitment to her child—Judy based her choice on the realization that while other people could do her work in Zambia, no one else could bring up the child. Even when our motives are mixed, layered with ego or desire or competitiveness, when our resolve is essentially healthy or helpful, it’s probably dharmic. This is especially true when, like Judy, we find that we are literally the only person available to do some important task.
Yet, as the Yajnavalkya Samhita says, all of these methods for following the thread of dharma only really work when you’re in touch with your Self, the inner awareness/being/joy that is the true measure of dharma. When people asked my teacher Swami Muktananda how to find their swadharma, their life-calling, he’d always say, “Your real swadharma is to know the truth of your inner being.” Sometimes his answer seemed to ignore the questions we wanted answered, those burning life-questions like “Should I marry this person?” or “Should I go to graduate school or take a job?” Only later, after years of meditation and self-inquiry brought me into the kind of relationship with my own heart that couldn’t be overturned by a bad day or a difficult decision, did I come to understand what a good piece of advice he was giving us.
There’s an intuitive knowing that we develop when we steadily turn towards the ‘I am’ beyond all of our transient I’s. My mind will often hesitate between one course of action or another, wondering whether an impulse has come from my authentic self or from some hidden sub-set of the ego. But when I touch the underlying Presence of the I am, it tends to rearrange the co-ordinates so that the right course of action becomes obvious. The key to your personal dharma, the secret that will let you live the life you’re meant to live, is always found when you tune yourself to the rhythm of your own inner Heart.
So, when you’re faced with decisions of dharma, whether they are big questions or small ones, try applying this final criteria. Sit down for a moment and focus on your breath, observing the flow of thoughts and emotions. When you feel a bit of space in your mind, breathe into that space, and ask yourself, “Which choice will take me closer to my higher Self? Which choice will give me more access to the clarity and wisdom of my true Self, my original face?” Just ask the question. Then wait, paying attention to the feeling sense that arises. When it comes, attend to it. The more you get to know it, the more it will be there to guide you, and the more you will be living your own dharma, the deep truth of your most personal, and most universal being.
1) It’s the morning of a workshop your company is putting on. You’re in charge of logistics, and in an hour 45 people will be showing up to register. As you step out of the shower, your daughter comes in with flushed cheeks, and a 101-degree fever. Your husband is out of town, and you can’t get the babysitter on the phone. Applying the dharmic yardstick of: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, what is the right action for you in this situation?
2) You’re a popular and gifted professor and have just been offered the job of dean of your college. You don’t see eye-to-eye with the university’s administration and dread having more contact with them, but your colleagues are begging you to take the job and improve things for them—and the job offers a major salary increase. What choice do you make?
3) Your boyfriend tells you that he’s just been asked to write a pastiche of his mentor’s brilliant but impenetrable work on developmental psychology. Writing the book will probably make your boyfriend famous in his field, but will also wreck his relationship with his teacher. How would you advise him?

Commerce: Mining petrochemicals, precious stones, alchemical reagents, precious metals.
Inhabitants: The nobility is primarily human, with some half-elves thrown in the mix. There are many, many different races inhabiting the lower parts of the city, however.
Ontas is Ashan's major industrial heart. It can easily be identified from miles away by the thick, black smog cloud that ceaselessly rises from the city's blast furnaces and factories. The area underground has been mined for centuries, and the mines have gotten deeper and more dangerous as they reach further into the underdark. More than once, strife has broken out between mining parties and Drow elves, or rivaling Svirfneblin mining colonies.
There is a large disparity in wealth between the upper and lower classes. The business of Ontas is vastly lucrative, and many get rich quite quickly. The members of the upper class make most of their money by buying slaves, hiring slave drivers to keep them in line, and putting them to work. Deep below the surface, there are no military police to keep order. As such, only the hardiest and toughest slave drivers can keep control of their workers. Slave drivers have one of the highest paid positions in Ontas.
Belarin Vladislaus, the former despot, made his return in 1250, after aiding The Tiki Company in their struggle against Captain Krogan. He murdered the man who had seized his power in broad daylight, and regained control of his city through one sheer display of authority. None of the old despot's policies were revoked.
Belarin lives in The Citadel; the tallest structure in Ontas. It serves as the governmental building, records office, and accommodations for much of the nobility and wealthy visitors. It overlooks The Hub, which is a vast brass structure that serves as the entry point to the hundreds of mines below the surface. From this point, elevators permeate deep underground, and mining equipment is ferried in from the various factories and forges.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (June 30, 2008) – More than three decades after they won the Academy Award® for Best Picture, director Francis Ford Coppola’s classic films The Godfather and The Godfather, Part II will once again be enjoyed by audiences as they originally were meant to be seen, thanks to a meticulous restoration by Paramount Pictures, overseen by Coppola himself. On September 23, 2008, both fully restored films will debut on DVD and Blu-ray, along with a newly remastered version of The Godfather Part III, to be included as part of The Godfather: The Coppola Restoration Collection. All three films will be available individually or in a five-DVD collection or four-disc Blu-ray collection, which are loaded with a host of all-new special features.
The new special features created by Kim Aubry, founder of Zoetrope Aubry Productions, explores the complexities of the restoration process and provides new insights and perspectives about how the film almost didn’t come to pass as we know it. The Masterpiece That Almost Wasn’t relates the unlikely events, intrigue, allegiances and luck that put together the unknown director with the “unwanted” cast and contains interviews with most of the living players and many of the film’ admirers. Other featurettes include “…when the shooting stopped” and “Godfather World”, which take a look at The Godfather’s influence on popular culture today. Each film includes a commentary by Coppola.
Martin Scorsese explores the life of organized crime with his gritty, kinetic adaptation of Nicolas Pileggi’s best-selling Wiseguy, the true-life account of mobster and FBI informant Henry Hill. Set to a true-to-period rock soundtrack, the story details the rise and fall of Hill, a half-Irish, half-Sicilian New York kid who grows up idolizing the “wise guys” in his impoverished Brooklyn neighborhood. He begins hanging around the mobsters, running errands and doing odd jobs until he gains the notice of local chieftain Paulie Cicero (Paul Sorvino), who takes him in as a surrogate son. As he reaches his teens, Hill (Ray Liotta) is inducted into the world of petty crime, where he distinguishes himself as a “stand-up guy” by choosing jail time over ratting on his accomplices. From that moment on, he is a part of the family. Along with his psychotic partner Tommy (Joe Pesci), he rises through the ranks to become Paulie’s lieutenant; however, he quickly learns that, like his mentor Jimmy (Robert DeNiro), his ethnicity prevents him from ever becoming a “made guy,” an actual member of the crime family. Soon he finds himself the target of both the feds and the mobsters, who feel that he has become a threat to their security with his reckless dealings. Goodfellas was rewarded with six Academy Award nominations including Best Picture; Pesci would walk away with Best Supporting Actor for his work.

After reading fellow CleanTechnica writer Sebastian Blanco’s review of the Hyundai Kona EV, I knew I was in for a fun drive. I had no idea how much fun it would be, though. I walked away wondering how anyone could justify buying a daily gasoline driver when you can have a 258-mile electric crossover like this.
I just test drove the Kia e-Niro as well, another 2019 finalist, and will have more to say about it soon.
The Ultimate edition model I tested out showed up at my doorstep with an enthusiastic estimated 258 mile (EPA) range. However, I was able to squeeze a lot more out of it in city-only driving. Straight off the bat, as soon as I accelerated in Eco mode, I knew it was going to be a fun and spirited drive. It was even more of a hoot in traffic and on highways!
The Hyundai Kona EV “Ultimate” has a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, a heads-up display, a larger touchscreen, a premium stereo, and smarter cruise control, amongst other things, and all for $44,650. What more can you want?
The 3 driving modes — Eco, Normal, and Sport — progressively release more torque. Eco has enough acceleration when needed. There were plenty of times I out-accelerated BMWs from a standstill, even on highways. The Normal driving mode raises the torque a bit more. But the Sport mode is when all 150 kW on the front wheels create a healthy helping of extra fun. Hyundai says the Kona EV will sprint the 0–60 mph run in 7.6 seconds, but the company doesn’t say that the first 40 mph is the most exhilarating.
For a crossover, the Hyundai Kona EV shows little body roll. The ergonomics are good and everything falls into hand easily without much hunting. The vehicle shares the same DNA as its Kia Soul relative. In fact, I made my 6’4” tall German friend sit inside. Even with the front passenger seat pulled all the back, he had enough knee room.
Another nifty addition Hyundai gives us in the Kona EV is adaptive regenerative braking that lets you use the smart adaptive cruise control and have the car slow down using the regenerative braking system before accelerating again. And yes, not everyone will use this, but I can see many stop-and-go traffic drivers making copious use of the feature.
Add in the heads-up-display (HUD) that can be tilted or made brighter and you can see that this car becomes fun to drive in almost any traffic condition.
The Hyundai Kona EV comes standard with a 7.2 kW onboard charger to charge a fully depleted battery pack in 9.5 hours. A CCS 50 kW DC fast charger cuts that down to 75 minutes, and a 100 kW superfast charger cuts it down to 54 minutes.
No car is perfect. That much we can all agree on. As much as I thoroughly loved driving the car, there are a few nagging things that will need to mature over time.
The amount of wind noise on highways surprised me. It wasn’t intrusive, but just enough to make me wonder about long-distance driving. Although, the car more than makes up for it with frank acceleration in any driving modes.
The Sport mode will overwhelm the front tires. The Hyundai Kona EV has a lot of torque steer underneath and its Nexen NPRIZ AH8, 215 x 55 tires have a difficult time maintaining traction under hard acceleration. In fact, and for fun, I was able to spin those tires up to 40 mph, a testament of the zippiness of the Kona EV.
The front charge port feels a little flimsy. It makes me wonder how it would handle a front shock and how easy it would be to still use it.
In the nitpicking department, the drive mode selector could be easier to reach. It is positioned in front of the elbow, which means taking your eyes off the road and hunting for it. I feel most EVs should have drive mode selectors on steering wheels, but that’s really nitpicking.
The Hyundai Kona EV manages interior space well with a decently sized rear cargo space. The trunk offers 19.2 cubic feet of cargo space, slightly less than the LEAF’s 23.6 cubic feet, but more than the Bolt’s 16.9 cubic feet.
The rear seats are comfortable enough to drive two to three extra people in relative comfort.
My apologies: I called the Hyundai Kona EV the Niro EV in the video. In my lame defense, I was giving the keys back to Hyundai and about to test drive the Kia Niro EV. At the time of editing the video, I just finished test driving the Kia Niro EV. Insert a blush and my sincere apologies to Hyundai!
The competition in the 200+ mile EV segment is heating up. The Chevy Bolt is on its second year, the new Nissan LEAF e+ is coming out, and the Tesla Model 3 was already the world’s #1 EV in 2018 and was the #1 luxury vehicle in the US. We’ll have to wait to see what happens as other carmakers give us more choice.
I walked away from my time with the Hyundai Kona EV questioning why anyone would buy a gasoline daily commuter when you can have this vehicle and its 258 miles of range. The Hyundai Kona EV can easily give 300 miles of range in city-only driving and offers enough room for four people as well as decent cargo capacity. Hyundai does a great job at packaging the Kona EV, and at $38,000 before any incentives (like the $7,500 EV tax credit), it will hopefully find a lot of happy buyers.
I give the Kona EV a 4.75 plug rating (or 5 if you round up). This is one EV I could see myself driving daily.

In just a few hours I will be travelling to Greece in Hadrian’s footsteps, retracing the journey he undertook in the province of Achaia in 124-125 AD.
“Hardly any emperor ever traveled with such speed over so much territory” the Historia Augusta tells us. Surely Hadrian was the emperor who honored the provinces with his presence the most. Nicknamed ‘Graeculus’ or ‘the little Greek’, Hadrian held a fascination for Greek philosophy and culture. The foundation for Hadrian’s affection for Athens and Greek culture in general may well have been established during his childhood education. Prior to becoming Emperor he was archon of Athens in 112. Not surprisingly, as Emperor he turned his attention to the east. He visited Athens at least three times, Sparta and Eleusis twice, in 123-124 and again in 128-129. Many Greek cities would benefit greatly from the emperor’s patronage in the form of numerous building projects and improvements.
Athens was always one of Hadrian’s favorites among the cities of his empire. Epigraphic as well as literary evidence (particularly Pausanias’ Description of Greece) tells us about the many benefactions that he bestowed upon the old polis. Many of Hadrian’s benefactions to Athens have been dated to his 3rd visit in 131-132. Among his most ambitious projects was the completion of the vast Temple of Olympian Zeus, a project begun over six hundred years earlier. Other new buildings in Athens included a Temple of Hera and a Temple of Zeus Panhellenios, a Pantheon, a gymnasion and a new library. He also established the Panhellenion, a new league of Greek cities. The philhellenic emperor clearly hoped to restore Hellas to the greatness of her distant past.
Photo taken in 2010 when I first visited Athens.
In the autumn of 124, Hadrian undertook an extensive tour of the Peloponnese, and this is the journey that I am about to embark on. His presence at many famous cities is well attested but his exact itinerary is quite uncertain at times. Hadrian’s fist stop was at Athens’ western neighbour Megara. From Megara, Hadrian proceeded over the Isthmus to Epidaurus and continued south to Troezen and Hermione and on to Argos. From Argos he entered into Arcadia to Mantinea and, in January 125, journeyed south to Sparta with a stop at Tegea on the way. It is not clear witch route he took from Sparta to Olympia (assuming that he did go there). From Olympia he set off eastwards across the Northern Peloponnese to Corinth. Hadrian was back in Athens in March 125. His journey did not stop there. After Athens, Hadrian travelled north into Boeotia and Phocis with visits to Delphi and Abae but for me this will be part of another journey. (Source for Hadrian’s itinerary: Hadrian, The Restless Emperor by Anthony R. Birley).
I will be tweeting and posting many pictures while exploring Greece so join me on Twitter @carolemadge or/and Facebook.

Bunder diamond mine will reinstate India as a major producer of diamonds.
Anglo-Australian miner Rio Tinto plans to invest $500m in a diamond project in India's Madhya Pradesh state, according to chief executive officer Sam Walsh.
The company is awaiting approvals from Indian authorities to start the project, Walsh said in New Delhi on 12 January, reports said.
Rio Tinto has sought approval to bring Madhya Pradesh's Bunder diamond mine into production by 2019. The mine, located some 640km southeast of New Delhi, will reinstate India as a major producer of diamonds.
India, which has yielded the Koh-i-Noor diamond, now among Britain's crown jewels, has one small diamond mine in production at present.
Bunder's annual production rate will be about 20 times higher, Rio said in a filing. The firm already employs about 300,000 workers in India to cut and polish diamonds from its Argyle mine in Western Australia.
Walsh said: "We're waiting for approvals, forestry and environment approvals, which I am hopeful will come through in the near term."
Tim Schroeders, a portfolio manager who helps manage $1bn in equities at Sydney-based Pengana Capital told Bloomberg: "Strategically, it probably makes a lot of sense. Whether they make a lot of money out of it, I'm not sure."
Rio is betting that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's business-friendly government can expedite the approvals process: the miner has waited patiently for over a decade to begin mining at Bunder and nearly two decades to set up a $2bn (£1.3bn, €1.7bn) iron ore project in the eastern Odisha state.
Rio inked an initial agreement for the Bunder project over 11 years ago, while it has been close to 20 years since an agreement for the Odisha project was signed.

Starset will be showcasing their first ever Australian tour this August, playing in Adelaide on the 13th at Fowlers Live.
The band’s lyrical themes are based around The Starset Society, a fictional backstory created by frontman Dustin Bates.
The group continues to fascinate people and bassist Ron DeChant says Starset provides a truly unique musical experience.
“Starset itself was meant to be a public outreach campaign from The Starset Society to start spreading awareness,” Ron says.
Vessels was their second album released earlier this year and the group has garnered acclaim for its immersive and multi-faceted productions.
They had also released 250-page graphic novel The Prox Transmission further delving into the backstory of The Starset Society.
“What’s so exciting about Starset that it’s truly a melt between Dustin’s previous engineering, and his past in space and science, with his passion for music and writing,” Ron says.
Dustin Bates has an accomplished background in science, having completed his masters in electrical engineering and working for the International Space University.
This ended up creating a previous connection to Adelaide, with his work at the International Space University bringing him here a few years ago.
“Dustin taught in a space program at a University and did engineering work in Adelaide, so we’re pretty pumped to play shows here that’s for sure,” Ron says.
According to the band’s lore, Dustin was contacted by the President of The Starset Society, Dr Aston Wise, to promote the organization’s message.
“I think the best thing about the band is there is a core passion behind science, technology and awareness about what’s going in our world,” Ron says.

ST. GEORGE – Kayelyn Louder, 30, has been missing from her Murray home since Sept. 27 and her family and friends are asking the public’s help in assisting in their desperate search to find her.
Louder left her condominium on the day she disappeared wearing only a tank top and shorts. She was not wearing any shoes and left behind her cellphone, house keys, purse, car keys and pet dog. She was captured on security video leaving the building without an umbrella in the pouring rain.
Louder’s cousin, Megan Chin, told KSL that she believes someone may be holding Louder against her will.
“I love her so much; I just hope she comes home. If someone has her, just let her go,” Chin said.
Detectives from the Murray Police Department are leading the investigation into her disappearance.
Let’s hope she wasn’t raped and murdered..
There’s more to this story. She may have had some type of breakdown.

What an awful story. Poor woman must have been desperate to have disposed of her child in such a way.
Thanks for the post. So few Americans know our past history, its injustices especially against women. Isn't it great the father was never named? The push for family limitation in the early 20th century led to contraception methods and better health for women, but that is often threatened today. Interestingly, my ancestor was a prominent member of Portsmouth, NH at that time. He surely would have known this sad case.
Sadly the legal system saw punishment as the best deterrent; a misguided approach if ever there was one!
A tragic story, made all the worse by her loyalty to a man who showed no concern for her in return. How people were prepared to live with such an unjust law is beyond me.
Thank you for your comment; this is one of the most tragic stories I've shared, made all the worse by the fact that it was utterly avoidable, a tragedy brought about by the judiciary.
Such a tragic story and it could be that one of the men in the jury may even have been the father of her child.
Carol, that thought hadn't even occurred to me; it's chilling!
A lesson in fanaticism: Women have suffered unjustly, at the hands of men, and continue today in far eastern and African countries. However, the ancient Israelites did not see it that way. Both offenders where put to death.
Thank you for your comment, Audi!
Unfortunately, many still see the death penalty as a deterrent and even morally justified. We hear about mentally challenged people being put to death. Awful. Wish we had developed further by now.
Thank goodness that women have voices on juries and pretty much everywhere else, now. Imagine all the other women who looked on and wanted to help this woman but couldn't.
It's such a tragic story. Even with the distance of centuries, my heart goes out to her.
I accidentally deleted my response to your comment - my apologies! I wonder what the father made of it, and his feelings once Ruth's fate was decided - clearly though, he decided it was better to keep his part in the sorry tale to himself!
My region and it did lack compassion.
There are so many sad stories of this type!
That's so terrible. I'd say, I hope the shag was worth it, but I'm guessing it wasn't. Mind you, in those days she might have been forced into it by the man of the house, who knows. Makes me want to know more about her, but this is probably all there is. What Carol Cork said is interesting!
That almost sounds like the start of a novel!
Much obliged to you, thank you!
Thank you for the post. I live nearby and have always been fascinated by this story. As I understand it, she is in an unmarked grave about 300 feet from the pond in what is now the Proprietors Burying Ground, which is a lovely old cemetery to see in Portsmouth.

Share with those in need and not those who simply just take continously.
Continously annoying is what some so called celebrities are.
Are celebrities worthy of being role models for young people?
People need to recognize that celebrities are a brand in themselves and they will create whatever life they think will benefit their 'brand' sooo... for the most part I think our role models should come from those who are not only living but showing their most authentic self.
Self actualisation is a great goal by being the best you can be potentially.
Potentially, we all have the strength to make positive changes.
Changes are the essence of life.
Life is full of meaning, so why do people keep searching for its meaning?
Meaning isn't easy to see when you're stuck in the monotony of everyday.
Everyday routines can hide the wonder of existence.
Existence is a matter of perception.
Perception is in the mind of the beholder.
Beholder is a person who can see beyond the sense of sight.
Sight lines are often compromised for people who are shorter.
Shorter working days would surely be an exciting prospect.
Prospect in a new area if you wish to hit something new.
New things are generally just retro really.
Really? You watch Keeping up with the Kardashians???
Kardashians (the 'famous' ones) are experts at media manipulation.
Manipulation happens to people who think they are immune from external influence.

Hier ist die Originalseite zu finden: en:openSUSE:How_to_contribute_to_Factory.
Anmerkungen des Übersetzers: Aus eigenem Interesse übersetzen.
This article will give you a view from the contributor perspective on openSUSE Factory, such as concepts, commands to execute, people to talk to and so on. It is meant as a starting point and does not intend to replace in-depth documentation for things like programming languages, compilers, packaging or the Open Build Service. You are expected to know about those things already. This article will show that contribution to Factory is both easy and very welcome.
The easiest and most convenient way to contribute to Factory is to just submit fixes. If you know why a package does not build or does not work correctly, why not send a fix? If the version of a package is outdated, why not update it? To make this possible for everybody, the openSUSE developers leverage the collaboration features of the Open Build Service for Factory contributions. This means that everyone can branch packages from openSUSE:Factory, do modifications and submit them back; it is as easy as checkers. First, you need to checkout the package with osc.
As you can see, the server created a copy of the package from the correct devel project and placed the result into your home project. Check it out to your local machine to do any changes.
Alternatively, you can use `osc bco` to chain the branch+checkout actions into one command.
Remember to add an entry to the changelog so that it is easy for others to know about your changes.
After you have changed what you wanted to fix and the package builds and works correctly, you can check in your changes to your branch.
Then submit them to the developer of the package for review.
The developer of the package will then get notified about your submission and will review it. We call this BURPing.
If you have never created a package before, you may want to visit this tutorial before you begin submitting packages to OBS.
First and foremost, your package needs to reside in a devel project, which will act as a feeder project to openSUSE:Factory for your package. The home: namespace is not permitted to act as a develprj. Look which devel projects with similar packages to yours are maintained, and when you have found a good project, try to contact its maintainers and tell them that you want to maintain a package there. The easiest way is to simply send your package to the devel project.
A list of the current devel projects can be found in the drop-down menu on top of this page. Find a public list of all projects here. If you cannot find a corresponding topic, you need to use our catchall project devel:openSUSE:Factory. If you have a completely new collection of packages that could form their own devel project, see #How to request a new devel project.
After you have found a devel project, you can send your package to openSUSE:Factory. The submit request (SR) must contain a note with information about the package. Preferably, you introduce the package to the opensuse-factory list and point to that introduction in your submitrequest. A good introduction contains information on the state of the upstream project and how maintainable it is and what the purpose of having it in the distribution will be.
Scenario: There is a piece of software that is not in Factory, it is not maintained anywhere in the openSUSE Build Service (except possibly in the home: space), and you want to get it into Factory/Tumbleweed.
First, you need an OBS project somewhere outside of the home: namespace. In most cases, one of the existing devel projects will be appropriate for your new package. Just submit an SR to the appropriate devel project.
If you need a new devel project, one way to get one is to contact the maintainers of an existing top-level project and ask them to create a subproject for you. If none of the existing namespaces are a good fit, ask the OBS maintainers to create a new project space by opening a bug or writing to admin@opensuse.org.
If the project your package ends up in is an existing devel project, you can now submit the package to Factory.
However, if you had to make a new project for your package, there is more work to do. Each package in Factory/Tumbleweed has a "devel package" associated with it. These are the projects in the drop-down menu on top of the openSUSE:Factory project page. The location of the devel package (i.e. the project where it lives) determines what the devel project for that package is. In our case, both the package and the project are new: Factory doesn't know about them. When you submit from an project that is not in the list, the submission will be auto-declined.
This appears to be a Catch-22 situation. There is a way out, however, by whitelisting the new project/package combination in the osc plugin that vets Factory submissions. To do this and edit the check_source.whitelist file in the osc-plugin-factory project on GitHub by submitting a pull request. Once it is merged, you can submit the package.
If a package is already in Factory and is merely being moved to a new location, and that new location is not a Factory devel project yet, it can be made into one by issuing a changedevelreq for that package to the new location (after moving the package). If that new location was not yet a devel repo, upon accepting the chgdev, it will become a devel repo and all future submissions from this repo, including all other packages there, will be accepted.
go to build.opensuse.org, login, then search for the package you're interested in, then "Request role addition".
The Open Build Service will notify you about new requests via email. You also can also query it for all the new request.
Merging the changes is as simple as accepting the request. Its a good idea to examine the changes first.
Once you are satisfied with the state of your package in your devel project, simply submit it to openSUSE:Factory.
If you submit a lot of related packages in a short period, be prepared to equally receive declines. Time has shown that, if there is a problematic change in one package, there is a fair chance the same issue is present in other packages of the mass submit. We would therefore recommend that, if you plan on doing a mass submission, that you split it up into batches, and that the first batch has only on the order of 5–10 packages. Subsequent batches of a mass submit can increase in size linearly.
If you want to fix a package in a released distribution, like openSUSE 11.4, you have to do some additional steps. They are described in the package maintenance guidelines.
Warnung!If you are not the maintainer of the package, please talk to the maintainer before doing any of the steps below.
Before you drop any package please consider our drop policy for openSUSE:Factory. Thanks in advance.
Let's assume that we want to drop the oldstuff package from Factory, and that its devel project is devel:openSUSE:Factory. You should first check that no other packages depend on oldstuff in Factory.
Once you have found a solution, just file a drop request for oldstuff in openSUSE:Factory, explaining why you want to drop the package.
When a package is removed from Factory, it is not automatically removed from the devel project. The reason is that the package could still be used outside of Factory, in the devel project for some other reasons. So, depending on your needs, you might want to remove the package from the devel project too.

The silhouette of a suit is its outline. Tailored balance created from a canvas fitting allows a balanced silhouette so a jacket need not be buttoned and a garment is not too tight or too loose.
A proper garment is shaped from the neck to the chest and shoulders to drape without wrinkles from tension.
Shape is the essential part of tailoring that often takes hand work from the start.
1) double-breasted suits, a conservative design with two vertical rows of buttons, spanned by a large overlap of the left and right sides.
2) single-breasted suits, in which the sides just meet at the front down a single row of buttons.
two parallel columns of buttons or snaps. Modern double-breasted coats, one column of buttons is decorative, while the other functional.
The other buttons, placed on the outside edge of the coat breast, are either decorative (non-functional) or functional, allowing the overlap to fasten reversibly, right lapel over left lapel.
To strengthen the fastening, a functional innerbutton, called the jigger, is usually added to parallel fasten the over-lapped layers together from the inside.
The original double-breasted jacket has six buttons, with three to close. This originated from the naval reefer jacket.
The four-button double-breasted jacket that buttons at the lower button is often called the “Kent”, after the man who made it popular— the Duke of Kent.
The term single-breasted refers to a coat, jacket or similar garment having one column of buttons a narrow overlap of fabric. In contrast, a doublebreasted coat has a wider overlap and two parallel rows of buttons.
Single-breasted suit jackets and blazers typically have two or three buttons (jackets with one or four buttons exist, but are not common), and a notch lapel.
However, from the 1930s onwards, peaked lapels, often on a single button jacket, have been variably in fashion, and this is now a classic.
The width of the lapels is one of the most changeable aspects of this jacket, and narrow peak lapels on single-breasted jackets has became popular during the 2000s.
Good tailoring anywhere in the world is characterised by strongly tapered sides and minimal shoulder, whereas often rack suits are padded to reduce labour. More casual suits are characterized by less construction and tailoring, much like the sack suit is a loose American style.
There are 3 ways to make suits.
Ready made and altered “sizes” or pre cut shapes; a convenience that often is expressed over time with wrinkles from poor shaping, leading to distortion.
Made to measure that uses measurements, not shaping, to achieve things like style, lengths and horizontal measurements.
Custom, bespoke or tailoring-designed suit that is cut from an actual personal pattern.
Suits are made in a variety of fabrics most commonly from wool. The two main yarns produce worsteds (where the fibres are combed before spinning) and woollens (where they are not).
Our fabrics have an S (or Super S) number describing the fineness of the fibres.
Although wool has traditionally been associated with warm, bulky clothing meant for warding off cold weather, advances in making finer and finer fibre have made wool suits acceptable for warmer weather, as fabrics have accordingly become lighter and more supple.
For hot weather, linen is also used, and in North America cotton seersucker is worn. Other materials are used sometimes, such as cashmere. Silk and silk blended with wool are sometimes used. Synthetic materials, while cheap, are very rarely recommended by experts.
Worsted is a type of yarn, the cloth made from this yarn, and a yarn weight category. The name derives from Worstead, a village in the English county of Norfolk.
The essential feature of worsted yarn is straight, parallel fibres. Originally, long, fine staple wool was spun to create worsted yarn. Today, other long fibres are also used.
Worsted cloth is lightweight and has a coarse texture. The weave is usually twill or plain.
Twilled fabrics such as whipcord, gabardine and serge are often made from worsted yarn. Worsted fabric made from wool has a natural recovery, meaning that it is resilient and quickly returns to its natural shape, perfect for the best suits in the world.
Woollen is a type of yarn made from carded wool.
Woollen yarn is soft, light, stretchy, and full of air. It is thus a good insulator. With Woollen yarn the fibres are combed to lie parallel rather than carded, producing a hard, strong yarn.
A woven woollen fabric is one which is subjected to fabric finishing techniques designed to add a directional pile – in that the end consumer can ‘stroke’ the garment in a single direction (shoulder to cuff etc.), such as a casual jacket. This feels like the fibres are directionally arranged.
The worsted processing route is more complex and requires the removal of short fibres and the use of a focused mechanical process to make the individual fibres parallel to each other; thus the yarn formation process is significantly more comprehensive and results in a very sleek yarn which will offer a clean looking woven fabric, such as for suitings.
The worsted process is significantly more expensive.
Typically used in sports jacketing, Flannel is a soft woven fabric, of various fineness.
Flannel may be brushed to create extra softness or remain unbrushed. The brushing process is a mechanical process where a fine metal brush rubs the fabric to create fine fibres from the loosely spun yarns.
Flannel can be woven in either a twill weave or plain weave. The weave is often hidden by napping on one or both sides.
After weaving, it is napped once (the surface of the cloth is raised to give a fussy feel to it). then its bleached, dyed, or otherwise treated, and then napped a second time.
Typically used in sports jacketing, Tweed is a rough, unfinished woollen fabric, of a soft, open, flexible texture.
Made in either plain or twill weave and may have a check or herringbone pattern. Subdued, interesting colour effects (heather mixtures) are obtained by twisting together differently coloured woollen strands into a two or three ply yarn.
Harris Tweed is the best know of all Tweeds: A cloth hand-woven by the islanders on the Isles of Harris, Lewis, Uist and Barra in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, using local wool.
Gabardine is a tough, tightly woven fabric used to make suits, overcoats, trousers, uniforms, windbreakers and other garments.
The fibre used to make the fabric is traditionally worsted wool, but may also be cotton, texturised polyester or a blend.
Gabardine is woven as a warp-faced steep or regular twill, with a prominent diagonal rib on the face and a smooth surface on the back.It always has many more warp than weft yarns.
A suit made in Gabardine will typically be very warm as the yarns are so tightly woven together.
An S number on the label of a wool suit, or other tailored wool apparel, indicates the fineness of the wool fibre, but more commonly the cloth reference. A cloth with a super number is considered more often than not the best cloths. Hence our prominent ranges.
Now used Super means pure new wool and can also be used for fabrics made from wool blended with rare fibre (such as mohair, cashmere wool and alpaca), and also with the S numbers for fine cloth state, with precision,the fineness of the wool fibre used in the cloth, as measured in micrometres.
Fibre fineness is one of the factors determining the quality and performance of the cloth.
You will see ranges of S100, S110, S120, S120 & Cashmere, S130, S130 & Cashmere, S150 & Cashmere, S160 & Cashmere. With each increase in numerical number, the weight per metre typically lightens.
Most single-breasted suits have two or three buttons, and one or four buttons are unusual.
Placement and style of buttons are critical to the overall impression of height conveyed by the jacket.
The centre or top button will typically line up quite closely with the natural waistline. Double-breasted jackets have only half their outer buttons functional.
The second row is for display only, forcing them to come in pairs. Rare jackets can have as few as two buttons, six buttons are typical, with two to button; the last pair floats above the overlap.
The three buttons down each side may in this case be in a straight line (the ‘keystone’ layout) or more commonly, the top pair is half as far apart again as each pair in the bottom square.
A four-button double-breasted jacket usually buttons in a square.
The layout of the buttons and the shape of the lapel are co-ordinated in order to direct the eyes of an observer. For example, if the buttons are too low, or the lapel roll too pronounced, the eyes are drawndown from the face, and the waist appears larger.

The Medicare Gap plans in Montana are no different from any other plan in any other state. With the Medicare Supplement plans they are standardized which means that no matter what insurance company you go with the plan benefits will not change. One good thing about the Medicare Supplement plans are that you can go to any doctor you want as long as they accept Medicare. If they accept Medicare they have to accept your Medicare Supplement plan no matter what. There are 3 plans that I recommend to all of my clients, Plans F, G, or N.
Medigap Plan F is the best plan that you can get. With this plan you are 100% covered after Medicare pays their part. The only thing you would be responsible for is a monthly premium. You would have no deductibles, no copayments, and no coinsurance.
Medigap Plan G is the second best plan that you can sign up for in the Medicare world. With this plan you will have the monthly premium, and you will also be responsible for the Part B deductible of $166 per year. This plan is going to be cheaper per month than the plan F even though you still have the Part B deductible. Sometimes it can even save you money per year even with the deductible.
Plan N is a little different from the other two plans. With this plan you will still have a monthly premium along with the Part B deductible per year. You are 100% covered on your Part A of Medicare. If you have plan N or choose the Plan N then when you go to the doctor you might have up to a $20 copay you will have to pay. If you go to the Emergency Room you may have up to a $50 copay if you don’t get admitted into the hospital.
For more information and quotes for the Medicare Supplement plans please feel free to give us a call here at 1-800-Medigap/1-800-633-4427. We are licensed brokers so we can look at multiple companies to see who if offering the cheapest rate for these plans.
Medicare has several parts for coverage. Part A, Part B, Part C, And Part D. and the Medigap Plans. Once an individual turns 65 they may qualify for certain Medicare benefits and services. Medigap Insurance can start as soon as Part B coverage is in place. Medicare Part A helps cover against catastrophic events, in patient care in hospital, skilled nursing facility, hospice, and home health care. An average knee replacement, hip replacement or heart attack can cost you forty thousand dollars or more, in most cases leaving you with eight thousand dollars or more to pay. Medigap can help cover that risk for you. Medicare Part B helps cover doctors, and other health care provider services, hospital out patient care, durable medical equipment, and home health care. Also many preventive services to help maintain your health, and keep certain illnesses from getting worse. Part D medicare helps lower and cover your drug prescription costs. Lets not forget about Part C. Part C or Medicare Advantage health plan options run by medicare approved, private insurance companies, offer benefits and services covered in Part A, Part B, and usually Part D. Feel free to pause the video to view some basic Medigap plans in Montana.

A warning notification about a propeller on a Bombardier Q400 caused an Alaska Airlines flight from Portland to Seattle to turn off an engine and turn around.
Pilots notified the passengers of the situation from the air, KING 5 reported, and the plane safely returned to Portland before 11 a.m.
"Planes are equipped with two engines, so that in the unlikely event there is an issue with one engine, the pilot can still land safely. While rare, our pilots are trained for these situations every year," Alaska spokeswoman Bobbie Egan told KING 5.
None of the 76 passengers or four crew members on board were hurt.
Passengers will be put on another plane bound for Seattle.

If you were hoping to watch Jennifer Lopez perform in Thursday's World Cup opening ceremony, you're out of luck.
FIFA officials announced Sunday in a statement to the Associated Press that Lopez has withdrawn from the festivities, and will not perform the official song “We Are One” with rapper Pitbull and Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte, as previously announced.
Soccer's governing body blamed unspecified “production issues” for Lopez's withdrawal from the opening ceremony.
In January, FIFA announced JLo would be joining Pitbull and Leitte on stage.
“We Are One” was written and co-produced by Pitbull, and features Lopez and Leitte, who sings part of it in her native Portuguese.
A call to JLo's rep was not immediately returned.

Early photos of Wester Hailes are dominated by the high rise blocks separated by wide seas of concrete and tarmac. The green spaces that were included were certainly spacious but were not usable public space and sometimes seemed barren and arbitrary in design. Efforts to keep pedestrians away from traffic without consulting on where residents actually needed pedestrian routes simply resulted in people using the grass verges or crossing the roads at sometimes dangerous points rather than following official paths.
Over the last few weeks we’ve been looking at the work and legacy of the Wester Hailes Partnership Group which oversaw an ambitious programme of development for the area. Part of its strategy included improving local green spaces and addressing a number of environmental issues affecting the area including pedestrian routes, roadside footpaths and increasing the number of trees and plants in the area.
In 1990 the Sentinel devoted a double page spread to the Greenway Improvement Scheme. Forming the pedestrian “backbone” of Wester Hailes, it was supposed to be a 20th century Royal Mile for the area, linking housing with local facilities and services. But lack of investment and minimal maintenance had led to the route being underused due to concerns about safety. Public consultation had shown that the top priorities for improvement were lighting, repaving and new planting. Plans for upgrading the route included new junctions and focal points as well as redesigning the paths.
This scheme was one of a number of environmental projects that were aimed at improving the area in particular through creating more distinctive accessible green spaces that linked neighbourhoods rather than separated them. The Wester Hailes Land Use Unit reported on progress in the 1992 Representative Council Annual Report. Environmental improvements included roadside and boundary planting aimed at “greening” Wester Hailes and developing a plan for roadside footpaths. Over the next couple of years an extensive planting programme was put into action resulting in thousands of additional plants and trees for the area.
The Land Use Unit also developed a proposal to employ an Urban Environmental Ranger. This proposal was submitted to the Urban Aid panel with the application being successful. This project was the first of its kind with the Ranger engaged in a variety of projects with local children and young people. The Ranger worked with schools and neighbourhood councils encouraging local residents to become involved in litter picking, planting and other environmentally focused projects. A Wildlife Club for children was also established for children to learn more about the environment through games and activities. A regular column Environmental Outlook written by the Ranger featured in the Sentinel for several years during the 1990s.
The trees planted back in the early 1990s in Wester Hailes are playing their part in reducing pollution. Hopefully, they will be able to carry on this role for a long time yet as well as bringing a wealth of other environmental benefits to the community. In 1993 the Environment Outlook column explained that many of the newly planted trees were native Scottish species, trees that would have been growing in the area if the land had not been cleared. As shown below, the column gave information about the trees and some of the folklore associated with them.

Have you ever taken a closer look at the stone monument outside Murrayburn House? It was originally erected in 1972 to mark the start of the building of the Wester Hailes Centre. When the area was refurbished to create the town centre area and Plaza, the stone was badly damaged. Fortunately, it was rescued when it became apparent that this was an important part of the history of Wester Hailes. The sculptor Kenny Munro was commissioned to design a new monument that used what remained of the old. He used brass strapping to fix the pieces together, creating a saltire across the front. The stone was then unveiled by Eric Milligan, Lord Provost as part of the official opening of the new Civic Square.
On one of the bands you will see the inscription “Wester Hailes Shopping Centre April 1972, and on the other you will see “West Side Plaza December 1996”. The damage caused to the stone could be seen in the longer term as resulting in something more symbolic being created, connecting the old to the new and showing that regeneration doesn’t mean throwing out all that went before. You can read the story as reported in the Sentinel by clicking here on January 1997.

It’s well known that Wester Hailes was built on farmland that had remained unchanged for centuries before the city of Edinburgh finally encroached upon it. Even in the 1960s, when building was starting to profoundly change the landscape, it was possible to see what the area had originally looked like.
We had someone looking for photos of the old Wester Hailes farm contact us via the Face book page last week to ask if we had photos of the farm that we could upload. By the time the Sentinel came into being, the farm was long gone so there are no photos like this in the archive. But we have come across a site Sixties Edinburgh, which provides several great pictures of the farm. You can see the photos here at Wester Hailes Farm .

COMMUNITY COUNCIL’S ACTION PAYS OFF!
Last month we reported that Wester Hailes Community Council had taken the lead in re-opening negotiations with AWG, the owners of Westside Plaza, to make more space available to improve the proposed pedestrian link between the new Healthy Living Centre and the Plaza. Now it looks like this has paid off big time.
The Community Council had written to AWG to raise the issue and ask the company to consider allowing more of the Plaza car park to be set aside in order to accommodate an extended link which would be safer and more user friendly for those accessing the Healthy Living Centre on foot from the main shopping area. There was a quick and positive response from AWG and a meeting was held between representatives of the company and the Community Council to take the matter forward. As a result of this, we understand, AWG are now prepared to grant permission for a larger area of the car park to be utilised although the exact details are still to be worked out.
Not only that, as a direct result of a public meeting requested by the Community Council, it also looks like the extra funding needed to construct this extension could be about to be put in place by the City Council. Responding to a request from the Community Council, a joint meeting of the two local Neighbourhood Partnerships was held recently and it was clear from the debate which took place that people felt the existing plan was inadequate to meet the needs of the community. The City Council has taken the strength of local feeling on board and the matter will be discussed by its Finance and Resources Committee on July 31st with a view to agreeing how this additional work can be financed.
Hopefully the next time we report on this it will be to say that the extended and the improved link is definitely going ahead. But, whatever the outcome, the Community Council has demonstrated over the last couple of months just how influential a committed local group can be when it comes to having a positive impact on big issues affecting the community.

Our Lenten journey travels through the wilderness so that we might become deeper, more spiritual, people. After forty days we arrive in an upper room, a healing death, and an empty tomb.
This book tells the story of Jesus' death and resurrection from the point of view of Mary Magdalene.
Bethany's People, Book 1 Now available in print or e-book format.
Do you want to preview the next NPY book?
Are you a church leader?
As God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.
You can live 2019 with the peace of Christ in your heart. Always be compassionate.
Always try to understand as much as you can. Never let the ends justify the means, that is, don't forsake your principles or good behavior to get your own way.
What was Jesus’ first word to his friends when he came to them the evening of Easter? It was Shalom. This is a word that means more than just peace. Wholeness, healing, living a life that has integrity and consistency. Shalom speaks of God’s providence. It means that we are fruitful in our work and loving in our relationships. It means that we have our material needs met, and that we can care for the needs of others. Further, it means that we have this for eternity.
Jesus showed the disciples his hands and side, so that they would know it was him. He had risen from the dead and he wants us to know that there is shalom on the other side. The disciples and women had carried him into the dark, cold, gave on Friday. They saw him alive on Sunday. He showed them that there was a new pattern; life-death-and life again. He said one word, shalom.
Then he gave his disciples and his friends the command that they carry shalom out into the world. He sent them into world that only knew this pattern; life-suffering-death. He gave them good news. There is a new pattern; life-suffering-shalom-suffering-death-shalom. Shalom is the word. It blesses us. It blesses others. When we encounter people suffering in this world, we bring them shalom.
