The killing of a Taliban Chief on Pakistani soil signaled that America is not sincere with the peace process in Afghanistan. Washington’s acts to sabotage efforts of talks clearly highlighted that NATO is interested in a further stay, with the aim of achieving geopolitical objectives in the region. That’s why every time when talks with the Taliban reach the edge of success, the USA unexpectedly takes such steps that spoil the whole peace process.
The US’ global hybrid war strategy has already disrupted the multipolarity of the globe, which is currently under construction by China and Russia. Therefore these two multipolar world leaders have become the direct targets of America, who have introduced a manual of unconventional warfare (UW) in 2010 by revising the cold war mentality to save unipolar hegemony over the world. Emerging geographic battlefields from Latin America to Africa and Asia to Europe have witnessed how the US is exploiting the world to achieve geopolitical objectives.
The US has not only adopted a destructive approach to contain multipolar regional and global integration through fueling ethnical, regional, political and religious conflicts, but now Washington is also working to constitute a consolidated bloc of unipolar well-wisher states to encircle/isolate Russia and China economically, politically, and military. For this purpose, under the US command of NATO, countries have not only imposed economic sanctions on Russia but their forces have already reached the borders of Russia while on other side, the US has introduced an Asian NATO-like project to counter China through meddling with the South China Sea island geopolitics and fueling the border disputes of China with its other neighboring states.
In this emerging scenario where the US is pushing the world to total war, (World War III) the NATO presence in Afghanistan has become more alarming and dangerous for the whole region. This essay aims to cover NATO’s containment policy in Afghanistan against China’s Silk Road and Eurasian regional integration through highlighting the challenges for the regional security blocs Shanghai cooperation organization (SCO) and Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).
The killing of Taliban leader Mulla Akhtar Mohammad Mansour in a US drone strike in Baluchistan has also killed the Afghan Peace process that was under way with the Quadrilateral Coordination Group (QCG), which consists on the representatives of Afghanistan, Pakistan, America, and China. The purpose of these QCG four countries was to seek the solutions of Afghanistan’s conflict through engaging with the Taliban in peace talks. But unfortunately, the US was unhappy with the growing influence of China in Afghanistan. As China introduced the Belt Road initiative of the Silk Road for Afghanistan and Pakistan, US opted to sabotage the negotiations between China and Pakistan with the Taliban.
The US has not only derailed the Afghan peace process but it has also aggressively opposed peace talks with the Pakistani Taliban as Washington believed a peace accord with the Taliban in Pakistani side would mean an end to Pakistani military operations against them and free them up to shift to neighbouring Afghanistan to fight against the US-led NATO and foreign forces. The same drone strike carried out by the US in South Waziristan that killed Pakistani Taliban commander Nek Mohammad in June 2004, which destroyed the April 2004 peace agreement, was concluded by the Pakistan Army with local militants.
Pakistani media reports suggests that the US also torpedoed a few other peace initiatives, including the one between the Pakistani government and the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) commander Maulana Faqir Mohammad in Bajaur Agency and with TTP head Hakimullah Mehsud in Waziristan by undertaking drone attacks just in time to derail any prospects of peace through negotiations.
Pakistan’s Interior Minister revealed that QCG succeeded in negotiations with Taliban to declare Kabul as a war free zone, but the US drone strike on the Taliban’s chief is a message that the US wants war instead of peace.
The main U-turn in US policy to oppose the Afghanistan peace process came after the China’s announcement of the Silk Road. Pakistan and Afghanistan both are Silk Road countries from an ancient time. China’s neighbouring countries - Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan - are directly connected with the Silk Road, which is also called the Karakoram highway (KKH) in this region. The China-Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC) is under construction, which will transport $46 billion of value along this KKH, connecting Pakistan’s deep-sea port Gwadar with the Chinese Silk Road hub Xinjiang. The border of both central Asian countries Tajikistan and Afghanistan are also connected with Xinjiang along the CPEC. Beside this, Gwadar port also provides the shortest potential route for all land locked central Asian countries to reach the warm waterways of the Arabian Sea. Moreover Beijing has also engaged Kabul with multibillion development projects that aim to connect CPEC with Central Asia through Pakistan’s transit trade routes which provide shortest land access to Russia-led Eurasian Economic union to reach south Asia and East Asia via India and Myanmar. By analyzing this upcoming regional integration, the term Zipper was introduced for Pakistan.
The above emerging scenario of Eurasian Silk Road integration vexed unipolar well wishers to adopt an aggressive containment policy. Therefore US/NATO had refused withdrawal from Afghanistan and aim to use Afghanistan’s hostile situation against this upcoming regional integration.
Stability in the region is directly connected with Afghanistan, and NATO’s further stay will lead to more chaos in the region, as Blackwater is facilitating Afghan separatist groups to hold the black flag of Islamic State of Khorasan. For this purpose NATO, with its member state Turkey, is assisting ISIS to produce drugs and smuggle them from Afghanistan to Central Asia and Europe. Afghan’s drug money has become the main source of militant’s funding.
There is no doubt that Russia is fighting a SCO war with ISIS in Syria because ISIS is considered to be a potential threat to the homeland of SCO. Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Central Asian states were a target for ISIS. In ISIS’ literature, these territories including China’s Xinjiang can be seen as “KHORASAN”; the branch of Islamic State. History witnessed that the US intervention in Iraq created ISIS in the Middle East, and now the same policy has been adopted by the US in Afghanistan to prevent regional integration through creating/supporting ISIS militants. Therefore, Russia has warned Pakistan and Afghanistan to take strict measures to prevent ISIS’ influence from growing. The Russian presidential envoy to Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov once said in April that there are now 10,000 ISIS fighters in Afghanistan. A year ago there was a hundred. This growth over the period of a year is spectacular.
So the dramatic increase of ISIS terrorists in Afghanistan highlights that the US-led NATO is deliberately exporting this new form of militancy in Afghanistan to contain Russia and China in this region, as Washington has already accelerated to present Russia and China as imaginary threats to Europe and Asia. From the South China Sea to the Baltic Sea, we can observe how the US’ hybrid war is working against the Sino-Russian led multipolar world.
Recent clashes between the Taliban and ISIS militants showed that the Taliban is only force who can defeat this new form of ISIS militancy that is getting strength under the umbrella of the US-led NATO in Afghanistan. The presence of ISIS is not only unacceptable for the Taliban but it is also against China, Russia, Iran, Pakistan, and other regional countries.
As was mentioned above, the US is already using Afghanistan’s hostile situation against Pakistan, China, and the Central Asian states, and now NATO is creating a new enemy in the form of ISIS in Afghanistan, so that it can get the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline security contract. That’s why NATO is supporting separatists groups against Taliban. Beside this, the Taliban has already been accepted as a stakeholder by the Afghanistan government and regional countries. That’s why Russia and China support peace talks with the Taliban. As media reports suggested, World powers (Russia and China) seek an unlikely alliance with the Taliban as 'interests coincide' in battle against a shared enemy - ISIS.
Some reports also claimed that Mullah Akhtar Mansour travelled to Iran in March to seek Iranian assistance against ISIS, but upon his return to Pakistan a US drone strike was carried out, and as a result he was killed in the Pakistani side of Baluchistan near the Iranian border.
The US needs to secure western interests through blocking the development or to be a shareholder of the integration. It is impossible later, in the presence of China and Russia, which is why the USA harassed Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India to join this pipeline despite the alternate Peace pipeline (Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline). Here it is also necessary to mention that this TAPI pipeline was the main reason for the Afghanistan invasion because at that time the Taliban government refused to give the contract of TAPI to the US Company Unocal in conjunction with the Saudi Oil Company Delta. Several analysts believe that 9/11 took place to justify the US invasion of Afghanistan for securing the western strategic interests.
As the author pointed out in an article, NATO’s sponsored TAPI gas pipeline has become a trap for the region because NATO wants a new enemy (ISIS) so that it can get the security contract of this trans-countries pipeline. According to available data the US wants to acquire Turkmenistan’s Mary airbase for the security of TAPI. The Mary airbase is a one of biggest airbase of central Asia build by USSR. American presence on this airbase would be unaffordable for energy-rich Caspian Sea countries.
The US is not in the mood to leave Afghanistan. TAPI has become the main reason for the further stay of foreign forces. The crisis in the Middle East shows that the US/NATO presence was the main reason of the militancy. Therefore, like the Middle East, peace cannot come in this region without the withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan.
CSTO has become a powerful military and political organization of Central Asian states and it is strengthening the political authority of member states and their positions on the international stage, providing stability and security on the international and regional levels. Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Russia, and Tajikistan are the member states while Afghanistan and Serbia have observer status of this military might of Central Asia.
According to CSTO documents, “Engagement and cooperation with the CSTO is an issue of importance to Afghanistan as, from the perspective of the CSTO member-states, the stability of Central Asian is directly linked to the stability of Afghanistan”. Therefore on the CSTO platform, Russia has offered her shoulder to Afghanistan for stability in the country.
While being the founder of CSTO, Russia had proposed multilateral cooperation of CSTO with NATO on the Afghanistan issue but unfortunately NATO rejected CSTO cooperation, as it has adopted aggressive behavior against Russia and its allies in the region. Russian presidential envoy to Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov told to Russian media that the issue of cooperation between NATO and the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) in Afghanistan is off the table, despite the increasing threat from the Islamic State.
After NATO’s refusal, CSTO adopted alternate ways to seek stability in Afghanistan by taking precautionary measures to prevent the penetration of ISIS’ militancy from Afghanistan to CSTO member states. For this purpose Russia is interested to install CSTO military along Afghan borders, especially on Tajikistan’s adjacent border with Afghanistan.
NATO’s presence and growing influence of ISIS in Afghanistan posed a great threat to Eurasian Silk Road developmental projects. That’s why all regional countries under the umbrella of SCO are trying to seek a peaceful solution to Afghanistan’s conflict. For this purpose, Regional anti-terrorist structure (RATS) of SCO has been established among the member states Russia, China, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan while Pakistan, India, and Iran would be added soon to this regional structure.
According to the RAT SCO briefing for counter-terrorism committee of UN Security Council, “SCO Member States currently are facing new threats and challenges, including the involvement of foreign terrorist fighters who are nationals of SCO Member States in conflict zones abroad, in particular in Syria, Afghanistan, and Pakistan; incitement to terrorism and violent extremism through abuse of religious concepts; and financing of terrorism through proceeds from organized crime, including smuggling and trafficking of drugs and weapons. In this regard, RATS SCO has identified priority spheres for its actions to tackle these challenges and has already achieved some tangible results. For example, the Executive Committee of RATS SCO has collected information regarding fighters who participated in armed conflicts in Syria and other areas and listed them in its secure database”.
Now that RAT SCO has already established a database of terrorists, it’s time to expand its jurisdiction into Afghanistan so that filtration of terrorists from Afghanistan to Xinjiang, Tajikistan, Pakistan, and other regional countries should be stopped.
To secure Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) integration and China’s Silk Road have become the main priority for SCO. That’s why all SCO countries collectively and individually have maximized their efforts to bring stability to Afghanistan, which is a part of Eurasian security blocs SCO and CSTO as an observer state because stability in Afghanistan is directly linked with stability in Central Asia and South Asia.
The US-led NATO’s containment policy regarding regional development has become a great challenge. All efforts that were made by regional countries were spoiled by the US, so this is a time to bypass NATO through introducing new alternatives ways to seek the peaceful solution of Afghanistan so that Afghanistan and the region should be saved from further destruction.
The Taliban’s new chief Haibatullah Akhunzada has refused talks and declared war on foreign forces because his former chief was killed by the US at a time when peace talks were underway. The new Taliban Chief was among them who opposed talks so now a new wave of fight against foreign forces would be observed soon. The Taliban will focus on uniting split groups and then they will launch offensive attacks so that they can show that they are still powerful and united.
The Taliban have two enemies: one is foreign forces and the other is ISIS, which is supported by NATO. Meanwhile the Taliban’s ideology also shows that they refused to own regional militants groups that are involved in militancy in Chinese Xinjiang, Tajikistan, and Pakistan. So it shows that Taliban is fighting only for Afghanistan against NATO and its proxies. The enemy of an enemy is a friend comes true with the Taliban and Regional countries’ expected alliance.
In this region NATO-sponsored ISIS is a common enemy of the Taliban and regional countries of SCO and CSTO. So this is a time for SCO and CSTO to constitute an anti-terrorist mechanism for Afghanistan by seeking new ways to negotiate with the Taliban so that US/NATO’s ambitions to contain regional development will be defeated.

Highlights: Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park, Caprivi, Mahangu National Park, Okavango Delta, Etosha National Park, Himba Experience, Rock paintings in Brandberg and Twyfelfontein, Swakopmund.
This morning your guide will take you on a tour of the mighty Victoria Falls, known by the local Kololo tribe as Mosi oa Tunya - “the Smoke that thunders”. A mid morning departure takes you from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe on to Botswana. In the afternoon we go on a cruise on the Chobe River, a truly unforgettable experience and one of the best ways to view the wildlife and the spectacular sunset. Chobe, which is the second largest national park in Botswana and covers 10,566 square km, has one of the greatest concentrations of elephant found on the African continent.
We leave our camp on the Caprivi for Etsha13, on the western border of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Unlike other deltas, it flows into the Kalahari Desert without reaching the coast, which makes it unique. Enroute to camp you will go on a game drive to the Mahangu National Park. Mahangu National Park is rich in fauna and flora. In the park you have the chance of spotting game, such as sable and roan antelopes, elephants, hippos, buffalos, and many other antelopes. For bird watchers the Mahangu National Park offers more than 420 different bird species. The next day is spent exploring the network of water pathways through thick vegetation in mokoros (traditional dugout canoes), discovering a variety of birds and wildlife and will stop at a secluded island to take a 1½ hour guided walk hoping to spot elephants, waterbuck or other animals living in this water filled paradise.
Leaving Botswana we make our way into Namibia and head along the Caprivi to Rundu. We make our way to Kaisosi Lodge and spend a relaxing afternoon at our lodge on the banks of the Kavango River. Optional activities such as a visit to a traditional village and school or a sunset cruise are available. Alternatively just relax by the pool with a sundowner listening to the sounds of Mother Nature.
Your journey ends after breakfast this morning. We can arrange an airport transfer on request (own expense). We hope to welcome you on one of our African adventures soon.

Infant Baptism is for children between the ages of 0 – 6 years. Baptism is the first Sacrament of Christian Initiation. For an infant child to receive Baptism at Holy Trinity Parish, his/her parent(s) or legal guardian(s) must be registered and actively participating in the life of a Catholic parish. Active participation at Holy Trinity Parish is defined and understood that the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) weekly worships during Sunday Mass as is his or her privilege and responsibility, and participates in parish community life through stewardship (time, talent, and treasure).
The Pastor conducts the Baptismal Preparation Class. Please call the Parish Office (330) 385-7131 in order to schedule an appointment with the pastor during the pregnancy or after the child is born.
Parent(s) and or legal guardian(s) is asked to choose someone to serve as godparent for his or her child. A parent or legal guardian must choose at least one godparent. If you should choose to have two godparents, they must be one male and one female. A godparent must be registered at a catholic parish, baptized, confirmed, at least at the age of 16 and if married, the marriage must be recognized as valid in the Catholic Church. If a godparent is not a member of Holy Trinity Parish in East Liverpool, Ohio, a written confirmation signed by the pastor of the parish where the godparent belongs, must be provided to the pastor of Holy Trinity Parish before the date of baptism can be scheduled.
A sponsor is a baptized person of another Christian faith who may serve as a witness to baptism, as long as one godparent fulfills all of the above mentioned requirements. Such person can not be a replacement of the godparent. The sponsor needs to provide written verification of his or her baptism and also submit this to the pastor of Holy Trinity Parish.
The baptism of a child cannot be denied however it may be delayed. If there is no reason to believe that parent(s), legal guardian(s), and godparent(s) may carry out the responsibilities of raising the child in the faith of the Church, delay in Baptism may be necessary to allow the responsible adults the opportunity to grow in faith.
1. Contact the pastor of the parish where they are currently registered and express their wishes to have their child baptized outside of their parish boundaries.
2. Attend the baptism class at their own parish.
3. A written permission from their pastor must be sent to the pastor of Holy Trinity Parish.
4. The date for baptism may be scheduled after all of the above requirements are met.
We encourage everyone, regardless of the age, to partake in an ongoing education and formation through prayer, reading, and discussion.

As we develop the habit of love, we must learn to forgive. That is a big one, huh? Some may immediately say, “Nope, I can’t/won’t” but say this to yourself out loud: I must forgive others the way Jesus forgives me.

A Null Object proxy is a null object pattern implementation. The proxy factory creates a new object with defined neutral behavior based on an other object, class name or interface.
What is null object proxy ?
In your application, when you can't return the object related to the request, the consumer of the model must check for the return value and handle the failing condition gracefully, thus generating an explosion of conditionals throughout your code. Fortunately, this seemingly-tangled situation can be sorted out simply by creating a polymorphic implementation of the domain object, which would implement the same interface as the one of the object in question, only that its methods wouldn’t do anything, therefore offloading client code from doing repetitive checks for ugly null values when the operation is executed.
You can also generate proxies from an interface FQCN. By proxying an interface, you will only be able to access the methods defined by the interface itself, and like with the object, the methods are empty.

Two shopkeepers were caught with thousands of pounds worth of illegal cigarettes after raids by customs investigators.
HMRC investigators discovered more than 25,000 non-duty paid cigarettes during searches at European Supermarket in Central Drive, and Local Choice Mini Market in Lytham Road, worth £7,446 in evaded duty.
European Supermarket owner Florin Iordan, 28, had stashed almost 12,000 non-duty paid cigarettes and 1.35kg of hand-rolling tobacco behind a fridge.
Dako Osman, 26, who worked at Local Choice Mini Market, hid more than 13,000 cigarettes in a disused fuse box.
The searches in June 2018 were part of a wider operation to disrupt the sale of illegal tobacco across Blackpool, which saw HMRC officers visit 12 retail and self-storage premises.
Tim Atkins, Assistant Director, Fraud Investigation Service, HMRC, said: “Neither Iordan nor Osman had a leg to stand on once we found the hidden tobacco in their shops. They knew what they were doing was wrong and have been rightly punished for their greed.
Iordan, of Grasmere Road, confirmed the cigarettes and tobacco were his and said the takings from selling them were kept in a tub rather than putting them through the till.
He admitted evading excise duty at Blackpool Magistrates Court on November 27, 2018 and was sentenced to repay the £3,636 in lost duty, a £120 fine, £85 court costs and £35 victim surcharge.
Osman, of Lytham Road, told HMRC investigators he sold the illegal cigarettes for £4 a packet. He admitted evading excise duty at Blackpool Magistrates Court on Wednesday, January 30 and was ordered to pay a £1,500 compensation order, £120 fine, £85 court costs and £35 victim surcharge.

Commercial Fiction Definition – What’s the best definition for the Commercial Fiction genre? That depends. Some people use the term Commercial Fiction as a compliment; others use it as an insult (usually Literary Fiction snobs).
Commercial Fiction is fiction with broad appeal and the potential to sell lots of copies. In other words, Commercial Fiction is written in a way (story and style) that’s accessible and likely to be enjoyed by the average reader. Examples of Commercial Fiction authors include Dan Brown, J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter), John Grisham, and Stephen King. Commercial Fiction books often fit into other clear-cut sub-genres such as Mystery, Horror, Romance, Fantasy, Science Fiction, etc.
Successful authors of Commercial Fiction sub-genres like those listed above are familiar with the conventions of their genre and they don’t stray very far from them. Readers of those sub-genres expect certain things and, if you know what’s good for you, you’ll give it to them. For example, if you’re writing a Commercial Romance novel, you better not kill off one of your lovers halfway through the book.
Commercial Fiction isn’t necessarily less intelligent than Literary Fiction. It’s simply easier to read and it’s more relatable. Commercial Fiction can be smart or “upmarket” writing that’s rich and meaningful. When compared to Literary Fiction, however, Commercial Fiction is more plot-driven and faster-paced, and more action takes place. That’s why Commercial Fiction is easier to adapt to feature film.
Commercial Fiction usually deals with fairly simple or straightforward themes that are universal. And, Commercial Fiction often appeals to readers of all ages. Harry Potter is a good example because J.K. Rowling included characters of all ages that readers of all ages could relate to.

I.V. Foot Patrol, UCPD deputies, Santa Barbara County Fire and American Medical Response medics responded to an initial report of an unresponsive college-aged male on the 6500 block of Del Playa Drive at around 10 p.m., according to an SBSO press release.
The unconscious male was lying in the backseat of a vehicle, and his housemates stated he had ingested narcotic pain reliever Oxycontin and an unknown amount of alcohol. He was immediately transported to a hospital.
While officers and deputies were still at the scene, another male who had stopped breathing was carried out of the residence; a Sheriff’s deputy administered a single dose of Narcan, or naloxone nasal spray.
The victim began to breathe after receiving the dosage.
Officers and deputies conducted a wellness check of the residence. Around 20 college-aged students were gathered inside the residence and seven of the students were exhibiting symptoms similar to a drug overdose.
Several of the subjects transported to the hospital were UC Santa Barbara students, according to the release.
The students showing symptoms of an overdose had reportedly consumed a “blue pill.” Nine male subjects were transported to the hospital for treatment.
Eight of the patients have been released from the hospital. The ninth is expected to be released from the hospital today.
Naloxone is actually very expensive. And I’m sure these people are going to get a very expensive bill. It is not free to be brought to the hospital in an ambulance. Naloxone is very important drug to have. I work in veterinary medicine and it can be used to save lives if the patient is having a bad reaction to morphine, hydromorpone or other narcotics. I used it just last week to save an Boston terrier that stopped breathing after getting an injection of dilauded.
No. Narcan intranasal spray costs $40 per 4mg dose when sold to first responders. The drug is dramatically effective, but it’s definitely not expensive in its intranasal form.
Good, then keep it for veterinary purpose, but stop using OUR tax dollars to bring idiots back to life. I love animals of all kinds, but I simple hate stupid people. These idiots were stupid people.
it is expensive when you ride off in an ambulance, but for anyone who need care and was left behind there’s no charge. I want to know if these students will be charged and suffering any consequences. I would like to think their frat will be shut down.
I have to say I agree with you on the Darwin Award. My first thought was .. “what kind of MORON takes a pill, that he/she has no idea what they’re taking??!” And a bunch of them did it, too!!
Well, now we know what kind of morons do that & where they live. Seriously, you know it’s something powerful, but you’re not sure what it is, you take it then chase it down w/ alcohol. BRIILIANT!

As long as everything goes well 2:15 sounds achievable. Whatever happens and no matter how easy if feels stick to your planned pace at first. You can always speed up in the second half if you are going well. You can't undo the effects of starting too fast. It's not nice suffering through the second half feeling completely broken!
Last long one for now, well apart from Sunday.
Short faster one on Thursday, and a dead slow Parkrun on Saturday and that's that. Sunday we run.
Sunday after noon I eat KFC and drink Guinness.
Also, whilst I haven't acknowledged every nugget of help and advice that you more experienced guys have thrown me I have taken them onboard and hopefully will reap the benefits if I can stick to them, so thanks for that.
that KFC is gonna taste mighty fine !
4k run 23:31. Finger lickin good!
Warrington Park Run 32:22. Nice and easy.
My first organised half marathon. Set myself the goal of doing 2:30 when I first took this thing on. I've only ever done 13 and a bit miles once before and the time wasn't confidence boosting. My almost 10 mile runs have been a bit more encouraging so I'm up for it. I've had loads of great advice and I used the bits that made sense.
Pre race - I had my arse kicked for trying to run at the paces I've done previously at a heavier weight, so a couple of weeks ago I tightened all the diet up and cut all junk food, alcohol and excess carbs. Bwt first thing 84.8K. Target weight.
Getting to the venue was straight forward, great organisation for bag drop etc although weather was a tad cold for standing around outside. 5 mins before that start the rain came and brought a bit more cold with it. Walking to the start line took 10 minutes after the race started then we're off. 2k in and the weather although didn't change got pleasant.
I faded a good bit after 18k, but I'll work on what could have gone better at this one before the next one. For now I did what I set out to do.
Post race - bucket of KFC, big open bag of Cadburys heroes between me and my Mrs (who also did it and was pleased with her time) and a case of Carling with the dogs on my lap. I predict an early night with a big smile on my face. Life after lifting. Good days.
and I'm honoured to have played a small part !
Well done to both of you especially sticking to the pace early on. It's so easy to get excited and go off too fast.
Has that inspired you to want to do more or never again?
Well done mate. Life after lifting indeed!
Steve said:Has that inspired you to want to do more or never again?
As for what next, Well I’d like to get this time nearer to two hours next time out, and possibly under this time next year. I’m seriously pondering a full marathon next year too, but this is at the thinking only stage yet. Am aiming to make every 10k under 60 mins which is something I’ve only done twice so far, PB parkruns this year, Manchester night run next month and this 10k cross country with Ed Clarke later in the year. I’m enjoying my running right now, but I need to get back on my bike and hopefully do my first ton if I get enough of a break in the weather this year. Could do with tightening up my 85k frame so a bit more on the weights is on the cards. All in all it’s a good time to be me.
Job well done. I don't comment much at all, but there are half a dozen journals on here I look at regularly & it's great to see the progress being made. You seem to enjoy it too, which never does any harm! I'm almost tempted to start cycling again in a half-serious manner!

ISA recently published the fifth edition of Measurement Uncertainty: Methods and Applications by Ronald H. Dieck. In this Q&A feature, Dieck highlights the importance of the book's new and enhanced content.
Note: A working version of an uncertainty analysis template is available for download at the bottom of the page.
Q. Your book is now in its fifth edition. Why do you think the subject matter of this book continues to be relevant and important as a reference resource??
A. Uncertainty analysis and methods are continuously improving. There's still a need for a well-organized and presented book for properly analyzing the uncertainty of test and experimental data.
A. The fifth edition features new appendices and more detailed examples with each uncertainty analysis and computation clearly described. The new appendices include condensed descriptions of the basics of uncertainty analysis, pinpoint the advantages and disadvantages of several uncertainty models used throughout the world, and provide key equations for uncertainty analysis-all in an easy-to-use format.
To get your copy of this informative reference manual, order it today on the ISA website.
Ronald H. Dieck is an ISA Fellow and President of Ron Dieck Associates, Inc., an engineering consulting firm in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. He possesses more than 35 years of experience in measurement uncertainty methods and applications for flow, temperature, pressure, gas analysis, and metrology, and the testing of instrumentation, temperature, thermocouples, air pollution, and gas analysis.
Dieck is a former president of ISA (1999) and the Asian Pacific Federation of Instrumentation and Control Societies (2002). He has served as Chairman of ASME PTC19.1 on Test Uncertainty for more than 20 years.
From 1965 to 2000, Dieck worked at Pratt & Whitney, a world leader in the design, manufacture, and service of aircraft engines and auxiliary power units. He earned a bachelor of science degree in physics and chemistry from Houghton College in Houghton, New York, and a master's degree in physics from Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut.
There are many ways to conduct an uncertainty analysis. One way is illustrated in the Uncertainty Analysis Template, an Excel spreadsheet in Appendix N of Measurement Uncertainty, Fifth Edition.
The Uncertainty Analysis Template is designed as a starting point for engineers and scientists to use to perform an uncertainty analysis. It contains the major equations and summations used in estimating measurement uncertainty, errors and uncertainties that affect results, ASME random and systematic categories, and ISO pedigree categories Type A (from statistical analysis) and Type B (obtained other ways).

As a young disabled person with a combination of learning disabilities, depression, anxiety, and a spinal injury, I looked out on my world and saw that it was a place that couldn’t fit me in—there were barriers to access everywhere and disability was seen as a problem, a fundamental lack of belonging rooted in the body. I thought to myself that the only way to envision a world where we could belong was through tales of imagination, a different world, a future world, a world that had changed in some fundamental way. I consumed science fiction and fantasy, trying to find my body in those pages, my reflection in paper and ink. I read works that claimed to be about otherness, about alien bodies, about mutants and cyborgs, but I kept realizing that these other bodies were believed to be more possible to represent than a disabled body.
We can feed that kernel of potential with OUR stories, since our world is storied, and most of those stories have been told to write us into one-dimensional characters. We can assert our three-dimensionality, our complexity, through our voices.
My early desire to see disability and science fiction come together has shaped my work in Disability Studies, which has focused primarily on representations of disability in Canadian SF. My colleagues in Disability Studies frequently ask me why I don’t focus on “something that matters,” like political policy or disability history, and I always find this question interesting. There is a forgetfulness on the part of a lot of Disability Studies scholars of the fact that our imagination SHAPES our policies and we imagine those policies into the world. I focus on imaginative potentials around disability because this is where disability is shaped, forged, and built into existence. Disability is constructed through the gears of our thought processes about the body, through the wires that we connect to our views of normalcy, through the electrodes of our notions of independence. Disability is a machine that we build in our imagination and then send rolling out into the world, changing things as it goes, and yes, one of those things that the disability construction machine churns out is policy, shaped by all of the assumptions, ideas, perceptions, and biases that are fed into it.
SF may be seen as something fictional, imaginary, and insubstantial, but it, like the arts in general, has real effects on the world. It is a transformative genre and provides a space for ideological transformation, for the generation of new ideas that break down the idea of social norms. SF in its direction toward the ABnormal becomes a powerful space for challenging hierarchies that push only one way to be“normal” in our society.
My hope for science fiction to produce a new paradigm for looking at disability is partially shaped by the revolutionary texts that I have already encountered in science fiction, texts that have influenced new ideas like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (which could arguably be an early science fiction text as well as an early commentary on disability with its presentation of a medically manufactured body that becomes a site of stigma and abjection), Ursula K LeGuinn’s Left Hand of Darkness (which critically questioned ideas of normativity and gendered expression), Starhawk’s The Fifth Sacred Thing (which critically questioned the political relationship between power structures, our bodies, and our beliefs), George Orwell’s 1984 (which invited questions about the messages our media portrays to us and the power structures behind it), and, of course, Star Trek (inviting ideas of radical utopianism and suggesting that a non-capitalist system and a social system devoted to the desire to learn could be possible). Science fiction portrayed itself to me as a genre of ideas that had the potential to be unrestricted, yet I noticed that biases subtended these texts, whether produced by the authors, by reactions of the fans, by conservative publishers, and beliefs in the “unrelatable portrayal” that served to make only stories about straight, white, able-bodied cisgender male narratives canonical and perceived as the only “universal” stories. We still have a long way to go, but SF invites us to explore.
There are already steps toward these critical questions about disability in science fiction in anthologies like Accessing the Future (gathering together voices of disabled people to create SF tales of disability), The Sum of Us (an anthology complicating ideas of care and caregiving), Alison Sinclair’s Darkborn series (presenting the social changes that would occur in a world where half the population is blind), Tanya Huff’s novel Gate of Darkness, Circle of Light (which features a protagonist with an intellectual disability who resists containment or control), Ada Hoffmann’s short story “You Have To Follow the Rules” (which transports the reader into a world where autism is the norm and asks us to reconsider how we codify rules of social interaction and privilege neurotypicality), and, even though it is horror, Todd Browning’s film Freaks, whose influence has been so powerful that it has meant that the film’s quote “one of us, one of us” has become a rallying call for radical inclusion of diverse bodies as well as a critical reaction to systems around us that portray our disabled bodies as spectacle. These works resist simplification and seek to invite questions rather than seeking to provide an answer. These works are vital first steps toward rethinking disability.
Many of us writing about disability are thriving at that vital intersection between critical explorations of images of disability, our own lived experience, and our desire to creatively produce change.
We have a space in SF to reclaim something that is important for people with disabilities—imagination. It is possible in SF to imagine otherwise, to think up new possibilities instead of closing them down by saying that they aren’t viable. Disabled people can reclaim our futures in the same way that we do everything in an ableist world—with vulnerability. We can wield our vulnerability as a tool for writing, bringing our readers on a journey into a space vulnerability with us where they can question the ableist apparatus around us.

In Belarus, there are many different museums, fr om narrow-specialized to large-scale projects. The Belarusian State Museum of Folk Architecture and Rural Life cover the entire history and the development of Belarusian culture of different regions in different periods. It has several interesting features and advantages.
Open-air museums have appeared recently in Belarus. By the way, many people come to visit them. You have a unique opportunity to see ancient items and enjoy the atmosphere of those periods.
In 1908, artist Ferdinand Rushits was the first who spoke about such a museum, which could show life and culture of Belarusian people. Probably, if the First and Second World Wars had not occurred, people would have enjoyed such a historical exposition long time ago.
In the middle of the XXth century, it was decided to create an open-air museum where all the ancient things that are interesting for lovers of history would be gathered together in one place. As a result, houses and other buildings from all over Belarus were disassembled and located near Minsk, near the village of Strochitsy. Here, under the guidance of experienced specialists and historians, all the pieces had been collected in a single picture. The Museum of Folk Architecture and Rural Life in Strochytsy is very popular, excursions are constantly organized here.
The Belarusian State Museum of Architecture and Life consists of six sections: Poozerie, Podneprovie, Ponemanie, Western and Eastern Polesie, Central Belarus. Each has its own peculiarities and features of architecture and culture. You have an opportunity to plunge into the past, each visitor is allowed to enter buildings or ancient churches, wh ere all the attributes of peasant life are shown.
An ancient settlement stands on the river Menka, which is considered “an ancestor” of the city of Minsk. In addition, you can see ancient mounds of the IX-XI centuries.
In addition to examples of architecture, in the Belarusian State Museum of Folk Architecture and Life, there are many various attributes of the traditional life of peasants. There are more than 30 collections. They are arranged in homes and schools in accordance with those times. For the sake of convenience and clarity, each element is placed in an inventory book.
For example, a collection "Clothing" contains about 1600 items, from shirts, dresses, and skirts to rare exhibit items of temple vestments.
The collection of books includes more than 700 printed and handwritten materials: newspapers and magazines, leaflets and posters, greeting cards and postcards, plans of cities and buildings, fiction and religious literature and more.
In Belarusian homes, you will find household items made of wood and other materials available at that time. Elegant home decorations or massive troughs and ladders, boxes, candlesticks... It is interesting that some attributes look like its modern analogs. For example, one can find similarities between an ancient whisk and modern mixer.
Annually, the open-air museum is a venue for festivals and cultural events. It is worth to visit it to plunge into the historical surroundings and see the original sights of Belarus. Going on a sightseeing tour of Belarus, you will also get an opportunity to get acquainted with architectural monuments located in one more museum-skansene in the village of Strochitsy. Both museums are located in close proximity to Minsk. If you have never visited the capital of Belarus, a trip to the Museum of Folk Architecture and Life in the village of Ozertso will be an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with the sights of Minsk.

After over two years in the making, tomorrow night sees one of the most anticipated fights in many years. David Haye, the brash and arrogant WBA Heavyweight champion, takes on the younger of the two Klitschko brothers, Wladimir, who have dominated the heavyweight division since the retirement of Lennox Lewis, way back in 2004.
David Haye has made it his ambition to unite the heavyweight division ever since moving up from cruiserweight three years ago. His outspoken personality has talked his way into this fight and he has not been afraid in trash-talking his Ukrainian opponent. From T-shirts showing Haye holding the decapitated heads of the Klitschkos to talk of Klitschko being carried out of the arena in an ambulance, he has not been afraid to talk up his chances.
However, inside, he will know that this is the biggest test that he has faced in his ten year professional career. It is not through luck that Wladimir Klitschko has held the IBF and IBO Heavyweight titles since beating Chris Byrd in April 2006. He has defended those titles nine times, winning seven of them via knockout. Wlad is a highly accomplished fighter and deservedly starts the fight as the bookmakers’ favourite.
In a way, there are many similarities between this fight and one of the last great heavyweight fights. Ten years ago, Lennox Lewis took on Mike Tyson at the Pyramid Arena in Memphis, Tennessee. The fight saw the big man – 6’5 reigning champion Lennox Lewis – taking on the smaller, quick and powerful man – the previously almost unstoppable Mike Tyson.
Whilst Mike Tyson was clearly past him prime by this stage, the starting odds with the bookmakers were around 6/4 – virtually the same as the starting odds on David Haye. The fight itself saw Lennox Lewis mechanically using the jab to keep Tyson at bay – indeed, despite his success, Lewis was often accused of having relatively dull fights as a result of his ruthless efficiency in doing enough to win without allowing his opponent a chance.
Many of the same things have been said about Wladimir – his jab is one of his main weapons, which combined with the reach advantage that he will have over Haye will prove troublesome for the British fighter. Another interesting parallel between the two fights is that Lewis’ old trainer, Manny Steward, will be in the corner of Wladimir Klitschko, who he has been training since 2004. It would therefore not be surprising to see the Ukrainian using many of the same tactics that Lewis used.
However, one aspect where Wladimir trumps Lewis is in sheer power. Phil Jackson fought both Lewis and Klitschko and admitted that Wlad has significantly more power in both hands than Lewis had.
David Haye, with his cruiserweight roots, is set to be one of the fastest opponents that Wladimir has ever faced. However, he combines this pace with power, particularly in the right hand. Haye’s best punch is the overhand right, which he will be looking to use to knock his opponent off his stride.
However, Haye has a tendency to lunge forward a bit with the right jab, often lacking power, and there is a suspicion that he could be vulnerable against the right jab of his opponent – a weapon that Klitschko certainly possesses. The other worry for Haye is the left hook of Wladimir – a punch that he rarely uses, but it is the most dangerous punch that either of the two possesses. If Haye is caught lunging forward with the jab or looking for the big punch, he is likely to get caught at some point and his chin will be put to the test.
The other potential concern over David Haye concerns his fitness and stamina. He has only ever had to go the full twelve rounds twice – once was against Nikolay Valuev, where he was hardly forced to fight every minute of every round. He will certainly have to do that if this fight goes all the way.
Indeed, it is questionable whether Valuev would even be close to championship level were it not for his sheer size. Haye eventually only won that fight on a majority decision – he will have to up his game significantly to even stay close to Wladimir.
As well as his impressive professional record, Wladimir also possesses a highly accomplished amateur record. Whilst David Haye is a former silver medalist in the World Championships, Wladimir is a former Olympic gold medalist at Super Heavyweight level in Atlanta 1996. His amateur pedigree shows that he is a very talented boxer, even if he is not the natural fighter that his brother is.
Despite all of the taunts, sometimes quite personal in nature, from Haye, Wladimir has remained relatively composed throughout the hype for the fight. Unsurprisingly really given that Wlad has always been known as the nicer brother and far more mild-mannered than his brother, who you would not mess with unless you were surrounded by your own people (he has been known to brawl in the halls of the Ukrainian parliament against pro-Putin factions within the government).
Whether Wladimir’s relaxed approach to the fight comes from his nature or simply a supreme confidence in his own ability remains to be seen, but come tomorrow night in the ring, the laid-back approach will disappear and Haye will be up against the biggest test of his professional career. This is the fight that will either set the foundations for an epic unification battle with Vitali or show Haye up for the over-confidence fraud than many have suggested.
Personally, I struggle to see how David Haye will be able to deal with the power of Wladimir and the superior height and reach advantage that the Ukrainian possesses. He will have in the back of his mind the fact that if the fight is close, the judges in Germany are likely to favour Klitschko, but if he goes jumping in trying to fulfill his promise to knock out his opponent, he will leave himself open to the big left hook and may find himself on his back in the middle of the German ring.

I just love the Vogue pattern. It's from the late 70s, but I really think it's a style that can be pulled off now. And the romper, well we just all know how perfect that is for Jake!
Can you believe that I picked these up during one of my weekly stops to the thrift store? All the pattern pieces have been cut out, taped together and laminated. LAMINATED! Someone spent quite a bit of time putting these together. The best part? They were only $2 each. I was so excited to find these!
In addition to the thrift store, there was a local church rummage sale last week. We got a handful of winter clothes for Jake as well as some sewing books.
These are so much fun! I've been on a vintage sewing book kick lately - I guess you could say I'm now collecting them. Anyway, at less than $1 each, how could I pass them up? I've started flipping through the Claudia Ein one, I may just work my way through it - I think I'll learn a lot about sewing and altering women's clothing.
The best find at the rummage sale was a book I found for Andy called "The Principles of Meat Science." Now, for those of you who don't know him, Andy loves all things meat. Seriously. The book is definitely vintage, circa 1975, and certainly a textbook. I figured he would get a kick out of flipping through it every once in awhile. And I was right, he loves the novelty of it!

The market town of Chorley grew up along the banks of the River Chor and on the important main road running between Manchester and Preston. The ancient highway running in front of the Hartwood Green Farmhouse has seen centuries of history unfold including, in the 1640s, Civil War troops, both Royalists and Parliamentarians, rushing through to or from battle.
When the Hartwood Green Farmhouse was built in the early 18th century it was ideally placed to take advantage of this main road leading to local markets. At the same time Chorley, like most Lancashire towns, was expanding with the manufacturing of cotton. In 1750 small domestic businesses began spinning and weaving starting off as a supplement to existing trades and eventually becoming a full time occupation.
In 1779 this farmhouse would have witnessed the rioters marching on Chorley to destroy the new spinning machines which threatened their home-spun livelihoods.
The spinners could not stop the inevitable mechanisation of their trade and this turnpike road to Preston and the canal in the valley below soon saw tonnes of raw cotton and coal passing through to feed the hungry mills. Other local professions using these trade routes included the quarrying of Mill stones and flag stones, iron and brass foundries, and the mining of lead and alum.
In 1966 Hartwood Green Farmhouse became a Grade II listed building because of its special architectural and historic interest. England has 376,099 listed building entries (March 2015) which protect our shared heritage. This farmhouse, made from local material, evolved from its own landscape. The customs and traditions of those who once worked this land are woven into the sandstone walls and slate roof.
Modern homes and trees now hide what would have been the farmer’s delightful 360º vantage point. To the east are Anglezarke and Rivington at the foot of the rolling Pennine Hills. To the west is the flat coastal plain heading out to the Irish Sea.
Just across the motorway behind Botany Bay, an old cotton mill, are some ancient fields named ‘Temple Fields’. No explanation has been found yet to determine their original meaning, but it is nice that the Temple, located on Temple Way, now looks out towards Temple Fields.
The farmland once connected with this farmhouse was sold to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1992. The Preston Temple was built and dedicated in 1998. Land that once grew crops and raised cattle is now harvesting and nurturing a spiritual crop.
Britain overflows with centuries of Christian worship and noteworthy pioneers. Their rich tapestry of faith is worthy of recognition. Likewise the memorial is designed to record significant milestones – such as marriage and death – of current church members.
A place, where in quiet reflection, we can remember the things that matter most.
The chosen plot of land to house the Memorial is surrounded on three sides by the peaceful grounds of the Preston Temple. When the temple’s trees are not in full bloom you can see Moroni’s statue peeking through the cover. On the fourth side is the18th century farmhouse which for over 250 years owned and farmed all the fields now occupied by the whole Preston Temple complex.
It is nice to have the farmhouse and the neighboring temple gardens reunited once again with the common purpose of turning the hearts of the children to their parents.
Peter and Nicola Fagg and their family of six children have been appointed as the custodians and trustees of the Memorial Site.
The Fagg family ran the Latter-day Book Store from 1990 to 2014, so have spent most of their working life seeking out inspiring products and uplifting entertainment for church members. This Memorial Wall project fulfils another, deeper passion for Peter – that of preserving and sharing our rich British heritage. For two decades he has guided thousands of visitors around British Church history sites, and delights in bringing stories of faith and sacrifice to life.

Using the process of Bio-mimicry, Tri-Vortex treated products induce natural rhythms in the body to enhance life processes and health.
TriVortex is a totally safe and natural energy field which observes nature's logical and powerful rhythms as found in the Harmonic Spherical Table of the Chemical Elements, developed by California based inventor and researcher, Brian David Anderson. The original discovery (TriVortex Disk ) found that through the development of the Table, that compounds and elements duplicate and magnify the element of oxygen.
When fluids (humans are 70% + water) come in contact with healing tools treated by the Tri-Vortex Technology, the molecular structure of the fluid becomes organized and coherent. The coherent molecular structure of the fluid promotes maximum and rapid absorption into human cells as well as releasing tension in the body. Total absorption of fluids into the cells promotes youth, energy and vitality no matter what age or body type.
Individuals working with the healing tools treated by the Tri-Vortex Technology have felt relief from pain and physical tension. Improvements in emotional feelings and energy levels are also experienced when using the healing tools treated by the Tri-Vortex Technology. They report an increased energy level & relieve from pain immediately when a Tri-Vortex product is placed on the body. Experience deeper meditation, relaxation and peace while using the TriVortex shawls.
