You’ve seen (and likely loved) quiche Lorraine, but not quite like this. Picture its silky egg filling, salty lardons, and savory Gruyère with one key twist: It’s cradled not by a pastry crust, but by shredded potatoes. The result is a trendy, tasty take on a classic French dish, sure to pleasantly surprise guests at your next brunch.
It may sound unlikely that hash-brown potatoes could form a sturdy crust, but when bound by just a hint of Dijon mustard and baked until golden, they make quite the faithful exterior. Nutmeg and fresh thyme add nuance in flavor, while a generous helping of cheese lends a deliciously melty texture. Each starchy potato strand is so crispy, you’ll forget pastry crust ever existed. This is great news for those who are gluten-free — just be sure to find a certified GF Dijon for this recipe.
Brush a cast-iron skillet or pie pan with 2 tablespoons melted butter. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and mustard. Press the mixture into the skillet, making sure the bottom has no gaps and the height is level all the way around. Pour the remaining butter evenly over the top. Bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool for at least 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook bacon briefly, about 3 minutes. Add onion, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and cook until softened, stirring frequently, for about 13 minutes.
In another large bowl, whisk eggs and half and half until smooth. Add the bacon mixture to a large bowl and stir quickly to combine.
Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Bake for 15 minutes. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top. Continue baking until browned and bubbling, about 15 more minutes. Serve warm.

The other night I received two emails simultaneously from friends alerting me that Michael Specter was to be a guest on the Colbert Report. Intrigued, I quickly set my DVR to record the show.
I’ve only watched the Colbert Report once before despite its immense popularity among friends. I have to say that I pretty much couldn’t get through the commercial laden half hour. Steven Colbert is part of the Daily Show revolution of fake news shows that lampoon the real news. Colbert’s shtick is to satirize right wing talk shows and radio as a means of media critique. I think blurring the line between “fake” and “real” news to expose the utter poverty of the latter is interesting. However, while this may seem novel to some, it has clearly reached a tipping point in effectiveness. I find Colbert’s execution a bit trite, predictable, too reliant on pop culture references, and often simply not funny. The Colbert Report is merely a shadow of Jon Stewart’s the Daily Show.
But since the episode was Russia related, I decided to tune in. Specter looked like a deer in the headlights. He seemed to kinda get Colbert’s act, but kinda not. Specter also came across far less nuanced on the show than in his New Yorker article. It appeared that he was ready to pull the noose around Putin for the deaths of every journalist and critic. It was only toward the end that he admitted that he didn’t actually outright accuse Putin of anything in his article except creating an atmosphere for these things to happen. Fair enough, but I can’t help to notice a certain slippage between these two views. It is clear that Specter wants to charge Putin with these crimes outright but he just doesn’t have any real evidence to do so.
For Colbert’s part, he tried in vain to make implicit connections between Putin’s alleged tactics and the Bush Administration. I guess he had to give his American-centric audience something familiar to chew on. But such comparisons are weak in my view and elide some very key differences between both Administrations’ authoritarian impulses. In the end, the show is just not for me. | 2019-04-22T04:56:14 | https://seansrussiablog.org/2007/03/09/michael-specter-on-the-colbert-report/ |

When building all varieties of sheds and garages in WA, it is a good idea to take advantage of the plentiful sunlight and use skylight roofing. This extra feature is a great addition because it provides natural lighting and is better for the environment.
The most obvious advantage to installing skylights to a shed is that you get more natural light streaming into the building. This may seem pointless for storage sheds which are only accessed when the owner needs something inside of it, however with larger sheds, they can be quite useful.
Sometimes people use barns and machinery sheds as workshops for various projects and farming activities. In this case, lighting is necessary to be able to see what they are doing and skylights provide natural lighting so that you don’t have to install light bulbs and run electricity. Even in stables, skylights are a practical option to give the animals more light in their shelters.
In addition to simply providing natural lighting, skylights are better for the environment because they cut down on the cost of electricity. This is not only beneficial to the user who will pay lower energy bills as a result, but also to the environment because less energy is being used. With less electricity being generated, less has to go into the production of energy, thus emitting less harmful gases into the atmosphere. By using skylights, a “green” form of lighting, owners save on electricity and help save the planet in the process.
Skylight roofing is a great addition to any storage or machinery shed because of the natural lighting that it provides to any user inside of it. In addition to this, this type of lighting cuts down on the consumption of electricity that would otherwise be used, providing both lower energy bills for the owner and less harmful by-products being released into the atmosphere.
Skylights are easy to install into most types of sheds, and with our customisation process, you too can include on in your next shed building project. For more information about how to use skylights to your advantage, please call 1300 778 628. | 2019-04-19T00:26:41 | https://www.actionsheds.com.au/a-view-from-above-the-benefits-of-skylight-roofing/ |
Why is there a renewed western interest in ancient Indian knowledge and sciences? Indians had discovered the wisdom and understanding of the Universe and Man, which are crucial for the balanced & harmonious coexistence in modern times. Investigation of this from Historical, Archaeological and philosophical perspective is examined.
Indian Civilization (IC) is established as the only ancient civilization on earth which has been living continuously for thousands of years. This talk will bring out key features & Major highlights of this continuity till today. Also it looks into the reasons & benefits of this continuity for Humanity and life on planet.
The comparison of Indian philosophy with western Philosophy & logic clarifies the roots of nurturing of the IC. The technique for landmark achievements in the field of Sciences, Arts, Architecture & philosophies will be discussed. Reasons for decline of Indian science and knowledge systems and its impact on today’s scenario will be examined.
This lecture will bring a new perspective & understanding about Indian Civilization’s contribution, major achievements and its relevance in today’s world scenario.
The visuals of PPT on India’s cultural heritage, it’s meaning and hidden knowledge will create interest & provide new ideas in the field of basic sciences, and Humanities. Engineering design, computational science can benefit from many slides of ancient knowledge and their interpretations.
Our generation is completely ignorant about the achievements of Indian civilization; the lecture will bring to center the core issues of great national importance and pride. It will be an audio-visual delight for all.
The Lecture focuses on the historical aspects, Philosophical importance and the usage of Yoga in modern times.
The International Day of Yoga, 21st June 2015, was when proposed in the UNGA in New York, it brought the technique at the very attention of all the nations whose people were practicing it for years already.
The Philosophy & technique of Yoga originated & evolved in India even before the times of Veda. It developed into a systematic doctrine & technique when Maharishi Patanjali composed the Yoga Sutras. The philosophy of Yoga inspired and its technique of practice was used in all the endeavors of human existence for creativity and originality, be it Science, Arts, Medicine, Architecture, Cosmology and more. The lecture covers these aspects with examples.
In the modern times, what has become popular among the masses in the name of Yoga is only the Asana & Pranayama. Few practice Meditation. However, there is a growing understanding that Yoga has nothing to do with the Indian Philosophies & Dharma (Hinduism). Lecture explains what is wrongly interpreted & misunderstood. The Sound ‘OM’ has also become an issue of debate whether to associate it with Yoga or not. The lecture lucidly clarifies the doubts & establishes the facts.
The problems of India can best be dealt with the practice of Yama & Niyama of Yoga. How, is explained with examples from History & common practices.
Much can be learnt from the journey of Yoga as depicted in the film ‘History of yoga’ – clips are shown.
Comparison of different religions of the world & how Yoga can be accepted and should be understood in its original context is discussed. | 2019-04-22T20:18:42 | https://www.vishuddhifilms.com/lecture-series/ |

You can charge it anytime you want, you don't need to drain its battery until it reaches 0%. Charging time usually is 2 hours to reach a 100% full charged battery.
The rate of battery drainage (how many hours the phone's battery will last) usually depends on the user of the phone's application. Using Siri, location services, maps, youtube, facebook, safari, games, 3G, LTE, data, etc all the time, obviously, can drain your phone's battery. What can you do to save battery life? Shut off Siri, location services, maps, youtube, facebook notifications, safari, 3G/data/LTE - shutting all these apps will make your phone just a basic phone for calling and texting which maximizes your battery's life. You can just activate the above apps if you need it but dont forget to shut it off again. I know it is a hassle but if you want to receive that important phone call or sms at all times then this is the option for you. Another option (quite a hassle too) is to bring your charger or bring an external battery for your iPhone (you can buy it in any Apple store & its price range is about US$40-70 depending on its capacity to recharge your iPhone's internal battery).

Torqeedo has equipped the world’s first solar-powered sewage pump-out boat in cooperation with Yale Uni. The vessel was delivered to Branford in Connecticut where it will prevent the discharge of untreated human waste into the area’s waterways.
It is powered by four electric motors by Torqueedo and eight 100-watt solar panels. The solar-powered boat was built for the East Shore District Health Department by Pilot’s Point Marina to provide free sewage pump-out service for vessels.
The propulsion system for the boat consists of two Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 outboard motors, four 48 lithium-ion batteries and four chargers. The motors are driven by electricity from the batteries, which are recharged by eight 100-watt solar panels, providing 400 watts to each battery bank. The batteries also drive the boat’s 48V pump and provide enough reserve capacity for a full day’s work.
The East Shore District Health Department collaborated with Yale University’s School of Public Health on the research for the new boat. Funding was provided by a grant under the Federal Clean Vessel Act as well as local fundraising efforts. The Clean Vessel Act assists in building and maintaining pump-out stations, pump-out boats and dumping stations that enable recreational boaters to dispose of sewage in a safe and responsible fashion, keeping it out of the US waterways. | 2019-04-18T11:15:47 | https://www.electrive.com/2019/02/05/electric-sewage-pump-out-boat-developed-with-yale-uni/ |

Few people were surprised when, shortly after ANZ announced it was looking at options to exit its wealth businesses, IOOF’s managing director, Christopher Kelaher was indicating his firm’s interest.
On Tuesday last week, both ANZ and IOOF confirmed to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) that IOOF had emerged as the successful bidder for ANZ’s OnePath pensions and investments business plus the aligned dealer groups – Millennium3, RI Advice, Elders Financial Planning and Financial Services Partners.
What the ASX announcement did not say about the transaction between ANZ and IOOF but what is revealed by Money Management’s Top 100 Dealer Groups research is that Kelaher now runs what amounts to Australia’s largest non-institutional financial planning business, given that AMP Limited has always been counted among the major banks as being an institutional player.
When the ANZ dealer groups are counted alongside IOOF’s existing Lonsdale, Bridges, Consultum and Shadforth dealer group brands it equates to a presence to rival that of AMP Limited and in excess of that managed by the Commonwealth Bank and Westpac/BT.
Perhaps just as importantly for IOOF and Kelaher, the transaction with ANZ involves a 20-year strategic alliance, the upside of which will see the business gain some significant distribution benefits via ANZ’s retail banking footprint across Australia.
The bottom line, however, is that in the space of a decade IOOF via both strategic acquisitions and organic growth has emerged to sit alongside AMP Limited as the biggest non-bank providers of wealth management products and services. Taken together, the two companies arguably dominate the market.
IOOF has come a long way since it emerged as a bit player in the 2010 bitter struggle around the acquisition of AXA Asia-Pacific which was originally looking likely to fall into the hands of National Australia Bank (NAB) but which was ultimately acquired by AMP Limited after the intervention of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
In 2010, IOOF stood to gain what NAB was prepared to discard – the North Platform now being successfully run by AMP.
Ten years later, NAB has lowered its exposure to wealth via the sale of 80 per cent of insurance business to Nippon Life and only the Commonwealth Bank/Colonial First State and Westpac/BT remain fully in wealth management, albeit that the Commonwealth Bank recently sold CommInsure to AIA Australia and ANZ is clearly hoping to find a major foreign life company willing to buy its insurance business once the dust has settled on the IOOF transaction.
Commenting on the ANZ transaction last week, Kelaher pointed to the significant scale it had delivered to his company, noting that the transaction positioned IOOF as the second largest advice business in Australia by funds under advice and by adviser numbers.
“This increase in scale provides opportunity to eliminate duplicate back office functions and realise scale benefits,” he said. “IOOF has estimated run rate pre-tax cost synergies from the proposed acquisition to be $65 million per annum from FY2021, which is approximately 11 per cent of the combined cost base of IOOF and ANZ Wealth Management.
Those who have watched IOOF and Kelaher undertake previous acquisitions will recognise the strategy he is about to follow and not least the pressure the company is likely to exert on competitors as it looks to extract the maximum bang from its acquisition buck.
He also noted that ANZ had been proactive in transitioning its platform products away from higher fee legacy products towards digital distribution.
“This means that earnings have already reset and the business is now efficiently positioned for future growth,” Kelaher said. | 2019-04-18T21:03:22 | https://www.moneymanagement.com.au/features/editorial/ioof%E2%80%99s-anz-transaction-buys-%C2%A0seat-top-table |

As a Geography major at Wayne State, Bob’s interest in the field began in an Applied Geography course, where he became fascinated by the realization that there is a true logic to why things in the physical world are located where they are: Why cities sprung up where they did, why rail lines were laid where they were, and why retailers, restaurants, and shopping centers opened in their exact locations. Bob brings his continued interest and leadership in location analysis to his work on the leadership team at Intalytics.
Bob is a founding Principal of Intalytics and is responsible for the development, cultivation, and management of many of Intalytics’ numerous restaurant and retail clients. Besides conceptualizing and directing Predictive Analytics engagements on behalf of clients, Bob has helped these organizations refine and evolve their concepts, providing insight into consumer attitudes and opinions and their implications as they relate to the sustained success of each client. Bob is a catalyst for methodological and conceptual innovation, and has been a strong influence with respect to the functionality, features, and simplicity associated with Intalytics’ renowned SiteIntel Predictive Analytics delivery platform, working collaboratively with Intalytics’ modeling and development teams.
Formerly employed by a major restaurant conglomerate as well as a grocery retailer, Bob brings a uniquely hands-on understanding with respect to the specific challenges and needs associated with these industries. As one of the original partners in Thompson Associates, Bob served as its President from 1987 until January 2003, when the company was acquired by MapInfo Corporation. Bob remained on as MapInfo’s Global Vice President of Predictive Analytics until co-founding Intalytics in 2007.
Bob wrote the book Site Selection, which has been used as a collegiate text. He is a frequent speaker at industry seminars, webinars, and site-selection “how-to” clinics. Outside of his work in location analysis, Bob enjoys playing with his bands and keeping up with his favorite sports teams. He lives in Milford, Michigan, with his family and his golden retriever, Kyley. | 2019-04-24T15:49:16 | https://intalytics.com/personnel/bob-buckner/ |
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc on June 7 adopted Vietnam’s program against child labor during 2016-2020, focusing on preventing and minimizing child labor while timely detecting and assisting child laborers and vulnerable children in accessing opportunities for development.
The program, which was issued under Decision No. 1023/QD-TTg, aims to raise the awareness and responsibility of authorities at all levels, sectors, organizations, employers, parents and children themselves about preventing and minimizing illegal child labor and highlighting the risks for vulnerable children.
To this end, various forms of communication about child labor will be designed to suit each target group of the program. Meanwhile, community-based education and counseling campaigns will be organized targeting, first and most importantly, producers and traders from the informal sector.
The capability of civil servants and public employees involved in protecting, caring for and educating children will be promoted as well.
At the same time, employers in traditional craft villages and in the informal sector will be helped to improve working conditions for children in conformity with law. | 2019-04-26T16:13:49 | http://vietnamlawmagazine.vn/gov-determines-to-take-action-to-minimize-child-labor-5400.html |
A pioneer and a dynamic force in the electronic dance music industry today, Ferry Corsten never ceases to amaze.
His No. 1 hit ‘Anahera’, produced under his Gouryella alias, has captured the hearts of many fans, reached No, 1 on beatport, racked up 1.5 million views on YouTube, voted ASOT Tune Of The Year 2015 and has now hit 2.5 million streams on Spotify.
Corsten started up the Gouryella project back in 1999, together with Tiësto, releasing trance hits including; ‘Gouryella’, ‘Walhalla’ and ‘Tenshi’, and later produced a fourth single ‘Ligaya’ with Dutch composer John Ewbank. The Trance legend brought back the Gouryella moniker in 2015 with the release of ‘Anahera’.
‘Anahera’ has all the hallmarks of classic Gouryella but with a modern twist; uplifting ethereal melodies, rapid arpeggios and brilliant orchestration. It’s an instant classic. Listen to ‘Anahera’ on Spotify below. | 2019-04-22T14:13:34 | https://www.thetranceproject.com.au/gouryellas-no-1-trance-anthem-anahera-hits-2-5-million-streams-on-spotify/ |
Do you know what it's like to be far from New Orleans? To think of the Big Easy night and day?
Jazz will discover later on free interpretation and technical virtuosity, but at the start, the New Orleans style is accessible and all about dancing. Sometimes frenetic, sometimes romantic, it is this diversity and this energy that excites L'Amicale. Jelly Roll Morton, Sidney Bechet, King Oliver, Louis Armstrong are all famous names that inspire the friends of this mythical city. The instruments used by L'Amicale are almost the same as those found in the Dixieland brass bands and the first Jazz orchestras, because L'Amicale wants to stay close to the roots of this particular New Orleans musical genre. The singing, the humour and interaction with the audience are also 100% part of this universe, even with a personal approach ... L’Amicale can perform acoustic or be amplified, standing on stage or walking, outdoors and indoors. Processions, celebrations, concerts ... almost all formulas to swing on the menu! | 2019-04-25T13:56:25 | https://brosella.be/en/artist/?id=632600 |

TweetDeck wants to change the way you Tweet by offering you the capability of using more than 140 characters. Their new project – Deck.ly – helps to ease the software’s dependence on Twitter and become a greater platform in itself. At its basic level, the new service will allow you to post updates that are as long as you wish them to be. If you are using TweetDeck on the desktop, iPhone or within Google Chrome (via the Extension), you will be able to read the full (long) Tweets right within your stream. If you’re using the Twitter website – or another client – you’ll have to click through to the new Deck.ly website in order to read the full posting.
Mr. Dodsworth states himself that they are going against what it is that Twitter is all about. What’s the point of this? If someone needs to post something that lengthy, shouldn’t they be doing so on Facebook or their blog? Twitter is meant for short and simple updates… not for lengthy rhetoric which belongs elsewhere on the web.
Perhaps I’m being a stick in the mud. I just don’t see this as being a good idea. I know several people who use TweetDeck as of this moment, and all of whom are considering moving to a different platform when this rolls out on Monday.
What are your thoughts? Should services such as TweetDeck make it easy for people to post entire blog posts right on Twitter? Shouldn’t we be keeping within that magic 140-character limit?
What Do You Think About TweetDeck?
One person who called the live stream recently wanted to know my thoughts on the TweetDeck application. It’s good enough, I suppose. I happen to feel it’s too cluttered, and doesn’t have a good user experience overall.
It is running on the Adobe Air platform. One of my largest frustrations with Adobe Air is that I cannot scroll sideways. There are so many columns in TweetDeck that you really need to be able to do this. Who actually clicks on a scroll bar to scroll around? No one does, that’s who! I want to be able to scroll in whatever direction I need. If an application doesn’t support this, it’s a giant step backwards.
If I navigate through my various Twitter accounts, I tend to use CoTweet at this point in time. I’ve yet to see a client that handles Twitter seamlessly and provides all of the functionality that I would hope for.
Matthew has created a screencast to walk you through setup of the free TweetDeck application. TweetDeck runs off of Adobe Air, and is an excellent program to help you manage your social stream. You can add your Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, FourSquare, Google Buzz and MySpace profiles. Mix and match to have any (or all) of those accounts right in one easy-to-use application.
Using TweetDeck, you can tweet like one of the pros. Customize your Twitter experience in the program by using columns, groups, saved searches and automatic updates. You can tweet, share photos and videos and send links directly from the application – without ever having to log in to the web UI.
When you connect sites such as Facebook and MySpace to your TweetDeck application, you can update your status, share photos and videos, leave someone a comment and even group your friends. Add groups to follow only the people you want to see updates from, keeping your TweetDeck interface nice and tidy.
Thanks, Matt, for another excellent screencast!
What desktop application do you use to keep track of your social stream?
If you’re a Twitter user, the service is hoping you can spare 140 seconds of your time to help make the site even better. There are seven short questions which will ask your opinion on a variety of things.
What type of people do you follow? What Twitter client do you use and recommend to others? Why do you use the popular social networking service? These are a few of the things you’ll see when you click to take the survey. The question that remains, though, is why Twitter suddenly wants your feedback.
If you do choose to fill out the survey, you have the option of giving up your Twitter handle (and email address). This may open up a chance for you to test new products in the future. I know that many of you (especially developers in our community) will be interested in that potential opportunity.
I took the survey myself just prior to writing this article. I was surprised at the lack of choices when asked what type of people I follow. Why would anyone assume that I only care to follow experts, news sources and famous people? Yes, there’s an option for coworkers and family/friends. However, a large number of the people I follow don’t fit into any of the given categories. I had to come up with one word to write in the “other” spot – trying to pigeon-hole these people together.
When I neared the bottom of the survey, it struck me that this entire thing deals with one thing: which clients we prefer. They’re trying to gauge how old we are and where we come from, yes. However, the focus appears to be on our preferences when it comes to HOW we tweet. This is pure speculation, but what are the odds that the gang at Twitter may go so far as to hire a few developers in the very near future? Can you imagine them taking the best parts of the clients we like and creating something completely different? That, my friends, would likely be the best client of all.
If the world is a stage, then the people on Twitter must be the cast. I don’t know too many people who aren’t registered on the popular social network. The ones who aren’t are missing out, that’s all I have to say. Mark definitely has a handle on Twitter. He knows what apps work, and which ones don’t. Now that he has the iPad, he’s able to tell us what’s best to use on that device.
Tweetie 2 has a ton of cool features and a nice interface. It allows you to have more than one user account, and helps you see what’s happening all over Twitter. Mark noted that when magnified to full-screen, the text looks a little blurry.
Twitterific is another client that was tweaked for the iPad. There’s nothing really new, and it’s not very pleasing to the eye. It is free, so you get what you pay for.
In Mark’s opinion, TweetDeck got it right when it comes to changing things up to work on the iPad. He says that the developers worked hard to make good use of the screen real estate, and that it just plain looks great.
If you have an iPad, what Twitter client are you using on it? What do you love – or hate – about the way Twitter clients work on the device?
I need your advice! I’m putting together an eBook full of Twitter tips. There will ultimately be 140 tips, each consisting of 140 characters or less. As of right now, I only have 89 solid tips that I can use. This is where you come in!
Send me your best Twitter tips. Make sure that they are under 140 characters. If I use your tip, you will receive credit in the eBook. You will also get a free copy when it is finished. The book is only selling for $1.40 when it is finished, so hopefully you’ll tell all of your friends. Everyone of us was new to Twitter – and social media in general – at some point. Wouldn’t it have been nice to have some sort of easy handbook to follow along with as we found our way in the murky depths? I know my experience might have been much better had I had some tips to get me started.
Believe me, it’s not as easy as you think it might be to come up with this many good tips. Coming up with the ones I already have was difficult. Both Imei and Kat contributed to this venture already, and are now as stumped as I am! They have both given me some excellent ideas, all of which I’ve incorporated into the eBook. How lucky am I to be surrounded by such fantastic and smart women?
When the eBook is ready, it will be available at go.tagjag.com/twittertips. Keep your eye on that link in the upcoming weeks!
Are you addicted to Twitter? I know you are – you’re constantly refreshing so you don’t miss anything. There are tons of clients available to help you keep track of things. There’s even a special client is great to use when at work! Many bosses may freak out if they catch you using Twitter during working hours for some reason.
If you don’t have Adobe Air, you can also try the web-based version. This way, you’d be working on a spreadsheet within a browser! How productive are you now?!
It’s Twitter. You know you love it. You know you’re addicted to it. You KNOW you have to have it! | 2019-04-23T02:29:12 | http://chris.pirillo.com/tag/tweetdeck/ |
Actors: Adith Arun, Hebah Patel, Rao Ramesh, Naresh, Aditi Myakal and others.
Post Arjun Reddy, bold and intimate content films are on rise. Will 24 Kisses from the acclaimed Ayodhyakumar Krishnamsetty of Minugurulu fame be another youthful entertainer with Hebbah and Adith?
A children film maker Anand (Adith Arun) loves to lead lonely life. He meets a wannabe director Sri Lakshmi (Hebah Patel) at work shop. They get close in no time and relationship leads to break-up due to dissimilar beliefs over love and marriage. Will they ever unite? What’s Anand’s haunting past? Why he frequently consults a psychiatrist?
Apparently, Ayodhyakumar Krishnamsetty is disconcerted with the box office verdict of his debut directorial Minugurulu. So, he attempted a bold film coupled with a ‘strong’ social message, perhaps to boost revenues to his producers by attracting youth and at the same time to please a director in himself.
He wrongly blended two contradictory objects- romance and problems of malnourished children which resulted in a half-baked and worthless product. In fact, one can also find strong similarities in 24K with Trainwreck. Although few dialogues are thought-provoking, snail paced screenplay made narrative dreary. Uday Gurrala’s cinematography was good wherein Joi Barua’s music is pretty average. Editor Anil Alayam seems to have retained almost all the raw footage in final cut. Production values are decent.
Adith Arun did his best to play the role that has lots of shades. He grew beard for few portions and then trimmed for pre-climax and climax episodes. He was good in romantic scenes. Hebah Patel was glamorous. She oozed enough oomph. Lip-lock and intimate scenes will be a treat for one section of audience. Rao Ramesh went over the board as a psychiatrist and Naresh is wasted. Aditi Myakal is okay as second fiddle.
A kiss elaborates so many emotions and feelings depending on context and whom it’s coming from. Director Ayodhyakumar explained a total of 24 kinds of kisses with their meaning. However, due to lack of emotional connectivity and mood, each kiss appeared filthy lacking in beauty.
Right from the word go, we hardly find any interesting or entertaining element. The doctor and patient counseling session is as boring as Telugu soap opera. While first half is all about hero kissing his soul mate for 23 times even before they propose love, latter part is all about protagonist searching his inner self and also finds a reason to change mind over marriage and kids. In fact, every reason is unconvincing. Finally movie ends with hero and heroine coming to an ‘understanding’.
All in all, 24 Kisses is a mess of bad work from 24 crafts. Nothing pleases us except Hebbah and kisses. Bad writing, poor execution and useless poetry will only make us suffer to the core. CJ goes with 1 star rating and this speaks the box office verdict too. | 2019-04-20T03:05:11 | https://webbooj.com/movie-reviews/ |
The manufacturing of steel roofing products has been around for decades. The common corrugated profile often seen as low cost siding or tin roofs is commonly manufactured around the world. The more complex forming of steel roof tile, often compared to clay tile roofing, is just catching on in Taiwan. Rollforming manufacturers in Scandinavian countries like Finland have utilized these style of roofing for many years. Locally, they insist that the technique for bending sheet metal in to complex tile shapes was founded in this region.
A raising leader in roll forming machines is Sen Fung. Their Model SF-400l is a solid example of how rollformers for the roofing market can be made. With a range of 16 to 25 stations, or roll tooling stands, these systems can produce a wide range of tile effect tilling. With profile length steps from 150-500mm and a step depth of 1-30mm forming speeds of up to 32 steps per minute can be achieved.
Each system manufactured by Sen Fung includes or can include the following rollformer accessories.
The fully integrated system allows operators the flexibility of integrating with other industrial software platforms.
For more information contact us today for a roll former quote. | 2019-04-26T16:32:14 | http://industrial-machinery-news.com/sen-fung-engineers-roof-tile-rollforming-machines/ |

Welcome to September 2014’s edition of Chasing the Light Online Magazine for our f11 Members.
In this month’s Behind the Lens article, David Noton describes his recent productive photo trip to the market at Issigeac in the Pays de Bergerac to capture the bustle of colour found there, as well as many other happy hours spent capturing the Gallic idyll of the region; this is all accompanied by his usual Video Blog. And the Low Down continues with Part Three of David’s articles on printing, this time getting down to the nitty-gritty of making a print, including discussions on the topics of colour management and soft proofing; our two Post Production Video Tutorials complement this piece, with live printing action from David. And this month we have an instalment of our Stepping Back series, this time travelling back with David to 1998 as he visited the iconic location of Tiananmen Square in Beijing, which included a rather hairy encounter with the People’s Liberation Army.
Chris Weston is currently on assignment on the Katmai Peninsula, Alaska; in this month’s installment of The Storyteller he recounts how he first discovered this remote and pristine area, where he has been able to produce his stunning images of the bears that live there. Ross Hoddinott continues his Hangout series by writing about his own home patch of Cornwall, and the inspiration and benefits this popular location has always brought to his photography, all accompanied by some of his favourite shots. For How It’s Done, Ian Badley continues the Cornish theme, sharing the story behind his spectacular shot of a super-yacht in the 2010 Pendennis Cup Regatta off the coast of Falmouth. And for our Guest Feature, Norway-based landscape and nature photographer Orsolya Haarberg reveals her fascination for Iceland, along with some of the locations and subjects that have particularly caught her imagination over her numerous visits to this magical land. | 2019-04-19T01:17:30 | https://www.f11photographymagazine.com/magazines/52/f11+Photography+Magazine+%7C+September+2014 |

We have years of experience in stripping, cleaning and buffing VCT (Vinyl Composition Tile) floors for Office Buildings, Restaurants, Doctor’s Offices, Schools, Nursing Homes, Retail Stores and many others. Our experience, along with proper floor care and maintenance can ensure that VCT flooring looks great and lasts a very long time.
Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT) is a square foot tile composed of smaller, colored chips of vinyl fused together. It is a popular choice because it is relatively inexpensive, low maintenance, and very durable, which is why it’s commonly used at Schools and Hospitals. At Enviro-Dry we have the proper tools and skilled technicians to not only clean, but to maintain these areas for you as well.
There are a number of steps to clean this type of flooring, and the process can take some time; however, with proper cleaning techniques, this flooring can last for many years. Here we will break down the process and explain ways to prolong the life of your tile flooring.
Vinyl Composition Tile Flooring is usually coated with layers of wax which not only protect the actual tiles from scratches, moisture and dings, but also leave them with a lasting shine. Our first step is to strip and remove the old layers of wax. Once this is removed, we clean the actual tiles. It is now time for the first application for the new wax. A thin layer is spread across the tile and allowed to dry. This application can be repeated as many times as a customer prefers. Usually schools and factory floors require eight or more layers of wax to accommodate high traffic. Some office buildings do not experience as much traffic, resulting in less wax, for instance, only two to three coats. Each layer needs about thirty minutes to dry before our technicians can walk across and/or add another coat. To follow this process, we recommend High Speed Buffing, which is part of our “VCT Maintenance Program”.
This last step is what makes the wax stronger and shinier and helps to make sure that the shine lasts!
There are many ways to manage the upkeep of your VCT floors. Of course sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming are always good measures. Entryway mats are another possible method to keep excess dirt and debris from coming in. Another option is our “VCT Maintenance Program.” Through this program, we come back every two to four months, which is what we recommend to maintain the best condition for your tiles. The experienced technicians from Superior Floor Care of Lexington and Richmond, Kentucky will return with a high speed buffer and restore your floors to its original vibrant shine. Our constant upkeep and continual buffing are a perfect way to prolong the life of the wax and your floors.
At Enviro-Dry Cleaning and Restoration, we are VCT experts. Do you need to have your VCT stripped and waxed, or maintained? Our IICRC certified technicians can help with that. We use the best equipment on the market.

Dry matter (DM) content of corn and alfalfa silages was measured by a handheld near infrared light (NIR) device and forced air-drying oven (FAO) on 13 d of a 17-d sample period on four farms. The effect of unaccounted DM content fluctuations on nutritional value of the mixed diet, its cost and associated nitrogen excretion were estimated using NRC (2001) calculations. Suitability of a handheld NIR device was assessed by comparison of DM measurements with FAO. The handheld NIR was found to have good accuracy (r = 0.848) and precision (Cb = 0.972) when measuring DM content of alfalfa silage, and had an even greater degree of accuracy (r = 0.917) and precision (Cb = 0.994) when measuring DM content of corn silage. Unaccounted DM content changes were identified in both feed ingredients but did not have a large impact on CP, NDF, ADF, N excretions or cost factors in any of the four cases. | 2019-04-21T20:22:43 | https://atrium.lib.uoguelph.ca/xmlui/handle/10214/12136 |
David Redhead is researching the names on the Elmfield College memorial. He has been able to confirm that the magnificent clock still standing outside the headmaster’s study at Ashville College is indeed the war memorial that was unveiled at Elmfield College back in November 1921, as described in these extracts from the Primitive Methodist Leader. (Elmfield College, York, later merged with Ashville College, Harrogate).
The spacious dining hall, of Elmfield College, York, was filled on Saturday afternoon by a gathering of Old Boys, present students, the head master and staff, many parents and friends, among whom were the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of York, to witness the unveiling by Sir Dyson Mallinson of a war memorial to the memory of the masters and old boys who made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War.
On the long front brass are inscribed the names of the fallen: J. N. Allison, C. K. Atkinson, R. Bannister, H. Blythe, J. B. Breed, H. L. Brock, R. M. Carr, C. J. Chipchase, C. Chippendale, M. H. Fell, W. S. Featherby, G. F. Holden, W. C. M. Hodson, J. W. Jopling, E. Ladlay, T. P. Mather, C. A. Maynard, B. E. McBeath, A. Morris, T. W. Normandale, E. M. Petler, G. Price, P. Raworth, J. F. Redhead, C. C. Roberts, N. Shepherd, S. Smith, J. R. Spence, W. Spencer, A. E. Trafford, J. D. Vaughan, A. I. C. Whiteley, H. Whittaker, A. Winch, R. Woolfenden and P. B. Wrigley.
The intensely impressive service was opened by the singing of that choice hymn, ” Father of All, to Thee with Loving Hearts We Pray.” Prayer was offered by Rev. J. E. Crabtree, Vicar of Kirkby Wharfe, and selected portions of Scripture were read by Rev N. M. Cuthbert. With emotion difficult to control the heed master, Mr. S. R. Slack, B.A., read the Roll of Honour, and paid a touching tribute to the fallen. Equally tender were the words of Sir Dyson Mallinson. The hymn, ” For All Thy Saints who from their Labours Rest,” and the Benediction by Rev. J. Reavley, brought to a close a ceremony which will live long in the memory of those present.
The unveiling of the war memorial at Elmfield College brought together an unusually large number of Old Elmfieldians from far and near. At a meeting held in the evening a strong desire was expressed that the Old Boys’ Association should- be restored to its pre-war state of activity. To that end efforts are being made to obtain a complete and up-to-date list of names and addresses of Old Elmfieldians. The headmaster referred to the many changes in addresses that have occurred during or since the war. The members of the Association will be obliged if all Old Elmfieldians (or friends) will forward their names and present addresses as early as possible to Mr. F. W. Parrott, Elmfield College, York. It is hoped that early in the New Year reunions will be held in the various centres of the O.B.A.
he was a “P Methodist”!!!
Edgar Ladlay was the son of John William Ladlay who was a Primitive Methodist Circuit Steward in Leeds at the time of the Great War. Edgar was killed in action at Gallipoli on 2nd May 1915.
plus the Service and Victory Medal posthumously awarded to JD Vaughan.
Also included are pictures of JD Vaughan, a postcard he wrote plus a copy of Elmfield Magazine.
This display will be a the Firing Line Museum (in Cardiff Castle) for the rest of 2019.
On Armistice Day 2018 I was delighted to read the Revd Philip Ashdown’s comments on my obituary of John David Vaughan. I live in hope of similar comments on the other obituaries.
On re-examining the photograph I have of his grave headstone the incorrect Welsh is entirely my error.
I have just become aware of your excellent obituary of JD Vaughan. I am the executor and godson of Miss Nesta Brazell (his niece – the daughter of Margaret Brazell nee Vaughan). She died at the family home in Mansel Street. Miss Brazell died last year (2017) and in her will bequeathed the MC medal, the ‘Death plaque’ with his name plus associated paperwork to the Firing Line Museum in Cardiff Castle. They were handed over at the start of September this year (2018), and may soon be on display there.
JD Vaughan was a member of the Literary and Debating society and an editor of the school magazine at Llanelly Intermediate School. He was also captain of rugby – I think he played as a prop. At Aberystwyth he was captain of rugby – there is a picture of him as captain, handed to the museum. A letter from the university says he studied French and Maths.
He attended Zion Welsh Independent Chapel in Burry Port (now closed). The worship would have been in Welsh. There are English and Welsh Bibles presented to him in 1905. His sister Edith died in 1890 aged 1, according to the tombstone in Jerusalem Chapel of his mother Rachel who died in January 1918. Henry Vaughan died in 1948 aged 85. There were two other sisters Mary Elizabeth, died (unmarried) in 1962 aged 74. Margaret Jane Brazell died in 1978 aged 85.
One correction to the Welsh = WNELER ie a N not H but the translation is correct.
Please find attached a write-up for Ordinary Seaman Charles Clifford Roberts. This is the one who died at the Battle of Jutland – his ship was the second and largest casualty of the battle.
The discipline of Elmfield College did not seem to rub off on him but then again his stay there must have been very short.
Write up on W Spencer added. According to the Wharfedale FHS he is shown as Walter Spencer, Royal Air Force in the Memorial Hall. If he really was Walter Spencer, Royal Air Force he should not be there because he survived the war. I am 99.9999% certain he was William Spencer. Whether it should show Royal Flying Corps or Royal Air Force after his name is debatable. He enlisted in the army, was made a Cadet in a Training Reserve Brigade and transferred to the RFC on 1st August 1917. He was killed in action on 10th May 1918 by when the RFC had become the RAF.
In summary a Lancashire Lad brought up amongst the cotton mills which indirectly provided the funds for Elmfield as his father ran an iron founding/machine making business supplying the cotton mills with machines. He had several aerial near misses before he met his end aged just under 19 and a half years old. Again no connection to Methodism established.
Write-up on Arthur Trafford added. Not sure whether Arthur’s rank should be given as Private, Bombadier or Flight Cadet – he definitely died as a Flight Cadet.
At first I had him down as a possible draft dodger having apparently enlisted, aged 21, in the RAF in the last year of the war. Nothing could be further from the truth – he originally enlisted in the Army a few days before the Great War started and a few months shy of his 18th birthday. Being a tall youth he ends up on the Western Front before he was 19 and appeared to get sent back home pretty smartish. Although, in he his nearly two and half year active army career, he spent more time at “home” than in a war zone he ended up getting badly wounded during the Somme Offensive of the summer of 1916. In May 1917 he was discharged “clinically” unfit with a badly damaged right shoulder which affected the mobility of his right arm. Just under a year later, in spite of his dodgy right arm, he was accepted by the RAF as a Flight Cadet. 12 days before the end of the war he unsuccessfully attempted a loop in a Sopwith Camel and died in the resulting crash. No doubt you are now all asking the same question I have asked myself – did his dodgy right arm affect his ability to control his acrobatic endeavour?
His family life is just as fascinating and raises lots of questions. What mental health issues did his wonderfully named mother (Hannah Newton Osterfield – all three are given names!) have and what effect did they have on Arthur and his relationship with his parents? What exactly was a “Student Prospector” – somebody who found students or somebody who was learning to find gold (or other minerals) – I suspect the latter especially as he had, an apparently unfilled, aspiration to go to the USA but he would have been a bit late for the Gold Rush. Why when he enlisted in the RAF did he give the headmaster of Elmfield College as his next of kin and “Guardian”? Was the Mrs Newton he was living with at the time of his second discharge related army medical a distant relation? – his maternal grandmother’s maiden name was Newton. Finally are the couple his father left his much diminished fortune to in 1954 some sort of relations – their given names suggest they could have been. I could spend a lifetime trying to answer some of these questions but have decided to leave it as is at the moment. Also some time I will try to find and download the battalion war diary for the day he gets wounded on the Somme – so there will eventually be a version 2.
We also have a lack of Methodism and Publican issue. Twice Arthur states he is CofE. Both his grandfathers were publicans at some time or other although they both seem to have ended their working lives as gardeners. The wonderfully named Hannah Newton Osterfield Peck (it rolls off the tongue) spent some of her formative years at The Druids Arms, which lay alongside the River Witham in Lincoln just downstream of the Brayford Water. In those days the R Witham was navigable right up to Lincoln and beyond via the Fossdyke and Brayford Water was a working inland harbour. So living in the Druids Arms would have been interesting although, I suspect, not very salubrious. Family history has the habit of going in partial circles and one of the nephews of another immortalised on the Ashville Cenotaph had two moments of glory connected to Brayford Water. As a youth my Uncle Jack, without any regard for his best and only suit, jumped into Brayford Water to save a young girl from drowning. Later, when he was a working man, he was sitting on a bus when it rolled back into Brayford Water because the driver had not applied the handbrake before going into the bus station office. Uncle Jack stayed calm and helped all the other passengers out of the escape hatch in the roof before being the last to leave. I have newspaper cuttings to prove both stories.
I have been investigating the C Chippendale on the Ashville Cenotaph and come to the conclusion he was Clement Chippindale (the different spelling is not a mistake). He was a late entry as he was not included in the 1921 Roll of Honour. This was because he died after the war, presumably from injuries received during the war, and probably (from an unverified source) on 20th Nov 1921 about a week after the original memorial was unveiled.
Looking at census forms there has been a tendency for the Chippindales to be recorded as Chippendales probably due to the influence of Thomas Chippendale. A classic example is the 1911 census form which Clement completes. He clearly writes the surname of himself, his wife and two daughters as Chippindale but the enumerator on the attached schedule still writes their name as Chippendale.
Moving to the MPMA page on Harrrogate and the 1913 article cited there. Amos Chippindale gets an early mention. Later on it is Amos Chippendale with a titled picture. Comparing that picture with the one on the Amos Chippindale page I would say they are one and the same gentleman just separated by a number of years. The Harrogate article goes on to say that Amos Chippendale had brothers Arthur and James. The 1861 Census return shows Amos Chippindale’s parents, William & Grace with their 3 sons James, Arthur & Amos. Once again it looks as though the enumerator fell into the trap and spelt the name wrongly.
There is one final bit of proof that it should be C Chippindale on the Ashville Cenotaph rather than C Chippendale. I have found pictures of the panels on the Harrogate War Memorial – which show a C Chippindale but no C Chippendale.
Hope you are now not as confused as I am! I suspect if you go into Harrogate Cemetery you will detect a ghostly whisper of “Its Chippindale with two i’s”.
The order of service for the unveiling of the Clock Memorial at Elmfield College in November 1921 states “Unveiling of the War Memorial to the memory of the Masters and Old Boys who made the supreme sacrifice for country, home and humanity in the Great War.” The inclusion of masters has not been recognised on the Ashville Cenotaph which is headed “In memory of Old Boys of Elmfield College who fell in the Great War”. Two masters are included on the Cenotaph – A Morris & J D Vaughan – the evidence for this is the 1911 Census Return for Elmfield College.
Write up on Andrew Morris added. Second Lieutenant Andrew Morris – a master at Elmfield at time of 1911 Census. Tracing his tortuous army career was a bit difficult but the actual record of his death in the war diary of the 12th Manchesters shows I got to the right destination – all other sources had him, when he died, in a Battalion that, as far as I can see, never existed. His apparent marriage looked a bit odd until I discovered he had been stationed in Grimsby for some of the war. Even so, regarding the issuing of his campaign medals the Army seem to have been dealing with his widowed mother (except I don’t think she ever was a widow) rather than his wife who would surely have taken precedence. The sources of him having got married come from the Forces War Records website and the GWGC website who give her only as next of kin. How they know this is not clear.
Considering his background I would think he was probably involved in the musical side of life at Elmfield. I cannot find any connection to Methodism but the family lived down the road from the following Methodist church but it does not get a mention on Methodist history websites.
Founded: before 1874. Located at the corner of St George’s Road and Duke Street, now demolished. Originally known as St George’s Street Methodist New Connexion Chapel, it succeeded the Ebenezer New Connexion chapel on Deane Road. It became the St George’s Road United Methodist Church in 1908.
Write-up on John David Vaughan added. In summary – a Welshman, born and brought up in Carmarthenshire, son of a tin worker, graduate of Aberystwyth University, schoolmaster at Elmfield College, winner of the MC for the part he played in a famous raid on a German Stronghold on the Ypres Salient, officially died of wounds 18th March 1917 but possibly19th.
Like Andrew Morris I have been able to find his death recorded in Battalion War Diary because they were both officers – officers get mentioned by name, other ranks are “ORs” unless they get an MM or do something else notable.
Write up on Harold Whittaker, and William Campbell Macdougall Hodson added.
Marconi Operator Harold Whittaker – his drowning did not prove to be as famous as that of Marconi Operator Harold Bride who went down with the Titanic six years earlier. Again no connection with Methodism found – in fact the opposite based on his parents marriage & his own baptism. His parents appear to have had the means to fund his education at Elmfield.
William Campbell MacDougall Hodson. This one is a spelling minefield – Rev Slack does not quite manage to get it right on the 1911 Census – “Wm Campbell McDougal”. Things appear to get worse in the Memorial Hall – “Wilfrid Campbell McDougall” – hopefully the major error lies with the Wharfedale FH Soc listing.
Not born in Scotland and would have spoken with a Yorkshire accent unless his time at Elmfield superimposed the King’s English.
At the end I have portrayed it as another mother’s tale like Percy Bernard Wrigley but with Hotels rather than Dept Stores providing the funding. However, I am not so sure as the Hodson’s Scottish ancestors seem to have been moneyed. His paternal grandmother, Marianne Eliza Hodson (nee MacDougall), when she died in 1900 with her husband (a stockbroker) and William’s father as joint executors left an estate worth £3,079 – or about £380k in today’s money. Perhaps not much of this filtered through to William’s mother when his father died 6 years later because as a former hotel worker she was not entirely approved of. Anyhow when his father died his mother went back to work as a Housekeeper in the Grand Hotel in Harrogate. I can’t find any mention of the Grand Hotel today but an on-line article about the Valley Gardens in Harrogate tells me that in 1903 “the Grand Hotel opened on Cornwall Road overlooking the Valley Gardens”. From my own, aged 18, experience of spending a summer working in a hotel in Newquay, Cornwall all the other staff and the owners would have lived in fear of Emily Hodson, Housekeeper.
William had a short “real” war of 75 days and only about 20 days of that was spent in the front line but sadly that was one day too many. At first sight another wasted education but I like to think that there were a few soldiers who survived the war and were less illiterate than at the start because of William’s teaching efforts/skills.
A write-up on Raymond Bannister added. Having done Department Stores, this time it is the turn of both Politics and Jam – yes you can make a connection between the two.
The Thomas Tickler, MP for Grimsby & Jam Maker, referred to in Raymond’s write-up I have met before. In helping to uncover my wife’s family history (which was more or less a closed book when we started) we discovered her great-grandfather’s sister’s daughter, although living in Nottingham, married Thomas Tickler’s heir. As my mother’s family came from the Grimsby area I opined that we might end up being related. In practice the relationship proved more sinister – whilst Wendy’s relation was living in a grand house with servants my relation was struggling to bring up 8 children in a two up two down whilst her husband boiled jam helping to make Wendy’s relation even richer! Added to this a second cousin on the well to do side of my mother’s family had a really rich relation who invested in Tickler’s Jam. He used to travel up from London to attend board meetings and stay the night after with his sister. At dinner his sister would pull his leg about Tickler’s rotten jam declaring she always ate Maypole jam (anybody else remember the Maypole?). One time when he sat down to dinner and the leg pulling started he silently reached into his pocket and placed a sheaf of papers on the table. When his sister examined them, to her horror, she realised they were copies of invoices from Ticklers to the Maypole for the jam they had supplied!
Write-up on Percy Bernard Wrigley added. He should be on the original Elmfield Clock Memorial but according to the Wharfedale Family History Society listing is absent from the Ashville Memorial Hall (but that might be their mistake). He is on the Cenotaph.
I now know much more about department stores than I ever wanted to. I state that the two Bon Marche stores and Pratts had no commercial connections – prior to WW1 this was true but in the 1920’s they were all bought up by Selfridges and then became part of the John Lewis chain. I think the Bon Marche stores had been closed before John Lewis came on the scene but Pratts became a successful John Lewis Branch and was not closed until July 1990. The site is now occupied by (shock & horror) McDonalds, Lidl & Argos and a modern pub called “Pratts & Payne” – apparently the Payne comes from Cynthia who operated nearby – perhaps I had better move on and not tell the joke about the vicar!
In some ways this is a mother’s tale rather than a son’s and I suspect she made considerable sacrifice to ensure Percy got a good education. Sadly it was in many ways wasted but such is the price of wars.
Percy died in the German offensive of spring 1918 which made major ground and nearly resulted in a different outcome to the war. However, they rather overstretched themselves and then started to seriously feel the effects of an overall lack of resources. By the summer the tide was definitely turning but they continued to put up surprisingly stiff resistance and many more lives were lost before the armistice was agreed.
See also Quibell Cooper whose name should have been included on the memorial.
Write-up on Ronald Woolfenden added.
The Manchester University Roll of Honour website says he went to Manchester University in 1912. Early Oct 1912 he would have been a month shy of his 17th birthday which is a bit early to be going to University, or were things different in those days? My father did a law degree nearly 20 years later. When he left school at 16 he started work for Lincoln City Council but registered as an external student with London University and did “Intermediate” exams which I think were the equivalent of A levels before moving on to an external full-blown law degree course. I wonder if Ronald was pursuing a similar route?
The Manchester University site lists his education in the order Stockport Grammar School, Elmfield College, Manchester University which probably means he did not do a full 5 years at Elmfield – if he had he would have started 1906/7 and left 1911/2. Like G F Holden his parents seem to have considered Elmfield a step up indicating it had good reputation.
Write-up on George Forster Holden added. He is buried in Basra War Cemetery, Iraq. | 2019-04-21T16:08:27 | https://www.myprimitivemethodists.org.uk/content/subjects-2/first_world_war/armed-forces/elmfield_college_war_memorial |
The following are a curated list of electrical books that are essential in reading if you hope to understand electricity, and how it pertains to the electrical trade. No-matter where you’re at in your career, these are books that will give you great value whether it be for studying for an exam, understanding electrical theory, figuring out how motors work, understanding transformers, wiring diagrams, or just basic electrical theory.
If you’re studying for your state licensing exam, this is a great book to start with. It is 100 practice questions that will help you navigate the National Electrical Code, along with all of the answers and direct citations to find the answers in the code book. When studying to take an exam you need to take as many practice exams as you can, and take them over and over so you get faster at finding information in the NEC. There’s even a section in the beginning that gives you a bird’s-eye view of the code book, to help you understand how the book is laid out and how to better understand it in it’s entirety.
For beginners really trying to wrap their heads around how electricity works, this visual guide is a killer book to have in your collection. Even if you’ve read 2 or 3 other books and you think you have a firm grasp on this stuff, this book will fill the gaps that you may have in your understanding because it does so visually. It is an old book yes, but an outstanding book nonetheless. It’s a great foundation to building an understanding from, and I highly recommend buying it no-matter how far along you are in this trade.
This was the first book I read on electricity, many years ago. It’s a modern, fresh look at electricity that helps field electricians wrap their heads around how electricity works, in terms an electrician understands. There are a ton of helpful graphics in the book, and ample explanations to step up your knowledge-base on topics like single-phase vs three-phase, different types of motor windings, transforming AC electricity, capacitive reactance, inductive reactance, electrical theory, AC vs DC, and SO much more.
Once you’ve wrapped your head around the basic concepts of electricity, and have gotten your hands dirty out in the field applying your knowledge - it’s time to step your game up a notch. This book is a great advanced book for a Journeyman level understanding of how to control motors, relays, plcs, and industrial machinery. It covers schematics, diagrams, motor controls, control circuits, ladder-logic, ladder diagrams, and MUCH more. This will take things to a new level for you my friend.
This book is a must have in your collection of Electrical Nerd-Out books. It covers pretty much anything and everything you could want to know about transformers. It talks about every type of transformer that exists, the fields around them, ways to cool them, how they can be damaged, how to size them, and a lot more.
This may seem like a silly recommendation, as it is a minimum standard to know the National Electrical Code. But this recommendation is more specific to the Handbook edition of the NFPA 70. This is a more expensive version of the book that has images, notes, and extra text that go deeper into the code and help to explain the “intent” of the code within the code itself. This is just an interpretation of the code, just like anyone else’s, however it is written by the NFPA - the people who write the NEC. It’s a little steep in cost, but worth having a copy of for the extra explanations for sure.
I personally think that everybody needs to have a copy of this book. Unfortunately most companies and electricians focus on reading the NEC (NFPA 70) and not the NFPA 70E - which is all about working safely with electricity. It doesn’t cover electrical code, rather it focuses on electrical safety. I firmly believe that every electrician should have the understandings housed in this book firmly planted in their minds. It’s a tool that helps each of us get home to our families at the end of the day.
Understanding the NEC can be a difficult thing to do because of how it is written. If you’re studying for a test or simply trying to digest the content so that you have a better grasp about what codes mean, then you should check out Understanding The National Electrical Code - Volume 1 by Mike Holt. This is a visual guide to understanding the NEC, and it is laid out beautifully. Not only does it cover the first half of the NEC in depth with explanations and examples, it gives you diagrams and illustrations so you can visually see what is being talked about. This will help you really dig in to code mastery.
This is Part 2 to Understanding The Electrical Code - This volume covers Chapters 5 - 7 of the National Electrical Code, and gives explanations, examples, and outstanding visual graphics that help you to really understand what the NEC is saying. If you’re stumped by code, get this book and get Volume 1 while you’re at it. They’re both a must have in your electrical knowledge library.
A great tool for every electrician, whether Apprentice, Journeyman, or Master is an up-to-date Ugly’s book. Ugly’s takes a wealth of knowledge from the National Electrical Code, to safety, pipe-bending, motor windings, transformers, tying knots, basic mechanics and mathematics, CPR, and basically everything you may need to know out in the field as an electrician - and wraps it all into a spiral-bound reference book that fits in your back pocket. Dope as hell!
This is really a well put together textbook that covers all of the essentials of understanding electricity in how it relates to an electrician. It goes over safety practices, static electricity, magnetism, ohm’s law, conduction of liquids and gases, AC inductors, resistance, and SO much more. Get this book if you want something that covers everything in a well-presented complete package.
This is a pretty awesome little pocket guide to troubleshooting electrical systems. For most Journeyman and Master Electricians a lot of this information is common sense, but there are some things that deal with Thermal troubleshooting, as well as dealing with Triplen Harmonics and heating of grounded conductors caused by Non-Linear Load distribution that I think are worth the read.
This book is a great reference tool to have in your possession. It covers a wide range of topics, but from the perspective of troubleshooting and testing. Rather than just covering theory, this book talks about practical ways to test circuits and troubleshoot things like “transformers” for instance. Its a hell of a thing to have on your side, especially if you’re on the service side of the electrical industry.
Fundamentals of motor control is a great textbook to start with if you’re trying to wrap your mind around controlling motors - simply put. There are a lot of ways motors can be controlled, through switches, motor controllers, variable speed drives, relays, contactors, programmable logic controllers, etc. This book covers many of the methods and hardware that is used in modern motor-control circuits.
This book is a lot of fun because, as it states, it is a non-technical guide. It doesn’t aim to bore you with too many details and calculations, rather it explains things in a very easy-to-understand way so you grasp the concepts of power generation without getting “lost in the sauce” so to speak, with mathematical/engineering jargon.
This is a cool book to get your hands on. It contains a lot of the fundamentals of modern electrical understanding and practice, however it has the added perspective of how the military teaches the subject. This is not as practical for residential and commercial electricians to read, however if you’re a dork like I am this is an extremely useful bank of knowledge that helps you further understand our trade in a new light.

Electrical Studies for Trades is yet another fantastic book written by Stephen L. Herman, who writes a lot of books on electrical theory. This book is great because it is directed specifically at the trades, so it is meant for an electrician-level understanding. It doesn’t dive off too deep into engineering topics, but rather stays appropriately in the realm of being an electrician in the construction or service trades. | 2019-04-24T18:06:30 | http://www.electricianu.com/books |
It’s still dark out as we pull up to the hospital on a frosty Chicago morning at six. One of the nurses greets us quietly, and we roll our cameras, monitors, lighting, and audio equipment through the bowels of the hospital to the corridor with the operating rooms. In two hours we’ll be filming heart surgery.
We spend the time gowning up and cleaning our gear, chatting with the staff, and going over, for the umpteenth time, where to position ourselves, when to put on our x-ray protection, how often the lights will go off and on during the procedure, how long we’ll be shooting continuously. Once the nurses and techs have prepped the room and the patient, the doctors arrive and things get going quickly and calmly.
The main doctor, whom we will interview later in the day, makes a small incision in the patient’s upper thigh, inserts a catheter in the leg artery, and pushes it up through the chest into the heart. This patient, who is awake the whole time, receives a wire mesh stent to keep open a collapsing or occluded artery near his heart. The whole thing takes less than an hour, with little or no pain. Miraculous.
Despite a recurring nightmare that I will asphyxiate a patient by standing on his oxygen line during an operation, my crew and I manage once again to comport ourselves well. The procedure is a success. The patient, remarkably, will be up and walking about later the same day, with relief from the chest pain and fatigue which brought him in.
When I was a young pup starting out, I worked as a camera assistant for a local San Francisco crew shooting brain and open-heart surgery. The blood and the sounds and smells of a power saw cutting through cranial and breast bone repulsed me like a scary horror movie, about as bad as it gets.
Since that grisly beginning, I’ve worked in many different medical settings—on psychiatric training films for pharmaceutical companies, marketing films for medical imaging and equipment companies, TV series on medical ethics, and broadcasts to teach doctors new methods. Shooting medical films can be immensely rewarding—promoting products that have profound effects on people’s lives, more so than when our mission is selling paint, cosmetics, or the latest Silicon Valley widgets.
Much of my work in recent years has centered on minimally invasive procedures, starting with coronary angioplasty, a scientific triumph from the 80s: a doctor inserts a catheter through a small cut in an artery in the thigh, carrying any of several instruments through the arteries in the chest and into the heart … and sometimes into the brain. Small incisions, greatly reduced trauma to the body, often no general anesthesia. The vast majority of cases have successful outcomes.
Our projects focus on the use of CT Scan, MRI, x-ray, ultrasound, and other advanced medical imaging techniques to diagnose and treat heart ailments or brain, breast, and prostate cancers, among others. In most cases, we interview the doctor and the patient—to discuss the dangerous or debilitating conditions forcing these interventions, and to highlight often-dramatic improvements in quality of life afterward.
When shooting medical personnel performing miracles, it’s always important to do your homework, play by their rules, and crank up empathy for the patients.
Scout before the day of the shoot. Nobody like surprises, especially health care givers. Show up for your shoot with plenty of time to inspect your location and to meet and plan with the personnel involved.
Remember that filming people at work, no matter who they are, means that you’re disrupting their day. Some may welcome the diversion, but never forget that health professionals’ first priority is patient care, not your project. Figure out how to get what you need while staying out of their way.
Plan to arrive early on the day of the shoot. For surgery or other procedures that involve a lot of prep, come in with the nurses and techs, and set up as they do.
Clarify where the sterile areas are, and stay away from them. For surgery that involves large, open incisions in the body, the entire operating room could be a sterile field. For minimally invasive procedures with tiny incisions, there is usually a smaller sterile area near the instrument table. During your scout, work out your physical access with the nursing and technical staff.
Find out how long the procedure will last. If you need to leave before it’s over (as is often the case), work out your escape plan for easy egress, making sure your cables are not trapped and you can get everything out the door without disturbing the team.
Understand that the doctors are invariably the stars, but the nurses do the real patient care between visitations by the docs. In many cases, the techs are the ones who really know how to drive the high-tech medical toys. There are often four to six medical personnel in the room—docs, nurses, and techs—plus one or two from the film crew.
Discuss the lighting in the procedure room with the people who work there. Most rooms have fluorescent lights overhead, plus a powerful, adjustable surgical spotlight. The staff might have a particular workflow for the room lighting, or they might be willing to let you replace their overhead lights with lights of your own, such as a Kino-Flo in a corner of the room (better for color and angle of the light). In Europe, I’ve seen a few “Ambient Rooms,” procedure rooms with fancy colored lighting to calm the patient, but these are quite unusual.
Ask about sound. Many medical procedures are accompanied by music, to soothe and amuse the medical crews standing and working for hours together. If you need to record dialogue, they might be willing to forego their tunes. But ask ahead of time.
Find out if the patient will be awake during the procedure. If so, interaction between patient and doctor could provide some interesting dialogue for your film. In one procedure in Belgium, the doctor and patient shook hands at the end of the procedure … on camera.
Respect the privacy, personal space, and possible embarrassment of the patients around you. I often try to maintain a respectful professional distance, avoiding eye contact with patients on a ward or in rooms off a hospital corridor. Above all, don’t gawk.
Remember that hospitals are full of germs, and many of these are on the floors.
Years ago, my crew and I were shooting in a hospital south of San Francisco. After several days, we started to wrap our video and electric cables to move to another department. One of the nurses, who had been working with us all week, told us suddenly, “After handling those cables, make sure you wash your hands before you eat. You know, this place is full of sick people.” Good advice, as it turned out, because there was a staph infection rampant in the hospital at the time. Unfortunately, she didn’t convey this safety tip until Day Four, and about half the crew (including me!) fell sick with intestinal agony, some for as long as two weeks.
Expect to wear hospital scrubs, gowns, head and mouth covers, and booties (to protect the patient from your germs), and lead jackets, vests, and collars (to protect you from x-rays). Follow carefully the instructions of the nurses and technicians. Often the lead, which can be very heavy, is only necessary during part of the procedure.
Make sure the medical personnel on camera are properly decked out. I’ve wasted hours shooting demonstration procedures with staffers who were not wearing the correct head covering. They should know what they’re doing, but it never hurts to ask if everything—equipment, garb, and personnel—will look correct to the discerning eye.
Be prepared to swab down your equipment with alcohol or other antiseptic. This is for the protection of the patient, and the hospital staff will instruct you on proper protocol. No one expects you to slosh alcohol on your precious lenses or douse your electronics, but it’s a good idea to clean your gear ahead of time, especially the horizontal surfaces that have trapped dust and dirt. Allow time for this important step.
Plan to use two cameras, if possible, because your ability to change camera angles could be quite limited. Depending on the size of the procedure room, it might be impossible to get decent coverage from only one angle and difficult to move around. Typically the doctors face a bank of video monitors displaying the very latest in medical imaging (often made by our clients). You’ll need two angles to illustrate this basic setup and shoot close-ups of the screens, much less get an establishing shot or an angle on the patient. If the procedure involves magnetic resonance equipment, you won’t be able to bring any equipment with metal inside the main door of the MRI room, though you might be allowed to leave that doorway open and shoot through it.
Use longer focal length zoom lenses. You often won’t end up too close to the action, and a long zoom will allow you to frame up close shots. Use a tripod to shoot procedures; you might have to roll for an hour at a time. A tripod with wheeled spreader can be quite useful, if you have the room to move around at all. We often use a camera cable back to a video engineer who monitors and shades our shots as we continue to roll through various changes in room lighting. The casters on the Sachtler wheeled spreaders have an adjustable cable guard, so you can push your camera or monitor cable in front of you as you roll to a new position.
Filming medical procedures requires you to be responsible and empathetic. Recording a sensitive operation is a privilege not to be taken lightly. Remember that the most important thing—really, the only important thing—is the wellbeing of the patient. If you establish the rules with your medical hosts ahead of time, respect their needs, and stay out of the way, you might be present at the moment when someone’s health starts on the road to dramatic improvement.
Find out where power is available for your equipment. Don’t plug your lights into the same circuits as any medical or computer equipment. Bring plenty of stingers—AC extension cords—so you can bring power in from other rooms if necessary.
Secure your cables so that people don’t trip on them and carts and gurneys can avoid them.
Tape down lightweight cables by running gaffer tape perpendicular to the length of the cable.Cover heavier cables with rubber or carpeted floor mats.
Try to avoid running tape along the length of the cable; this increases the chances of the two sticky sides touching and fusing together when you futilely try to remove them. When it’s time to wrap, pull up on the tape, not the cable.
Whenever you use gaffer tape or other sticky film-industry tapes, always fold back the end about a half inch to form a tab. This will make the tape much easier to remove later, especially on carpet after being stepped on all day during production.
Fly cables over doorways and halls whenever possible, especially in locations where beds, gurneys, or carts pass by regularly.

Excellent article; very well written and informative. I like the outfits you are dressed in especially the picture of you in the protective orange vest. However,I couldn’t see the skirt. These medical procedures are amazing and your guidelines for shooting medical procedures was inclusive and thorough as were the basic precautions for shooting in someone else’s work space. | 2019-04-20T22:26:28 | http://billzarchy.com/blog/shooting-miracles-how-to-deal-with-medical-locations/ |

Better Globe started its first fieldwork in Kenya at the end of 2006 at Katithini: a 100 hectares site by Lake Kiambere in eastern Kenya. The Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority (TARDA) owns the land. TARDA has a powerful incentive to entrust the land to Better Globe for afforestation, as Lake Kiambere is one of the major hydro reservoirs for generation of electricity for Kenya.
The lake is fed by Kenya’s biggest river, the Tana that originates from the slopes of Mount Kenya. Its tributaries find their way to the lowlands through densely populated areas, carrying plenty of soil from erosion. TARDA has a catchment protection programme, but the waters of the river are very brown every rainy season. The situation is compounded by intense erosion around the lake, where thousands of tonnes of soil are washed into the lake after every major downpour. This fills up the dam, decreasing its lifespan, and hence reducing the capacity for provision of affordable electricity.
Better Globe has demonstrated that it can stop erosion on the lakesides completely by planting trees and blocking erosion gullies with thousands of check dams. The tree species planted on this 100 hectares pilot site are mukau (Melia volkensii), neem (Azadirachta indica), Jatropha curcas and, Acacia senegal. Mukau, the principal species for Better Globe, is planted for its superior mahogany-type timber.
Better Globe’s trials have shown that it can be planted year-round, provided it receives adequate care and irrigation. Growth is excellent, with seedlings reaching 3 metres in height after one and a half years.
Better Globe has planted neem for its oil, which is used in biological pesticides, and has medicinal properties. Jatropha curcas, a shrub originally from Latin America, produces fruits with a high oil content suitable for diesel. It is a bio fuel plant, and BGF has engaged in piloting activities regarding management techniques, and trials for different silvicultural treatments.
Better Globe is now in the process of acquiring selected seeds from Acacia senegal in order to establish a trial plantation of different provenances of this species. It produces the valuable gum arabic, a stabilizing agent that has many industrial applications in the food, beverage and printing industries. These species are adapted to the local environment: hot and semi-arid, with irregular rainfall. In particular, Melia volkensii and Acacia senegal are extremely drought resistant.
Better Globe employs between 20 and 80 people in the pilot plantation, depending on the work, which in turn depends on the season. There is overall supervision by Better Globe staff: security is provided by guards to avoid theft from the store and intrusions by livestock that would damage the trees, the nursery, and various plantation works. These works include the whole cycle of land preparation, tree planting, and plantation maintenance. Better Globe is the biggest employer in the area, with payment of salaries signifying an important injection of cash into the local economy. | 2019-04-25T16:03:06 | https://betterglobe.com/published.aspx/Public/KiamberePilot?aid=16996 |
Kawasaki Vulcan 750 Forum : Kawasaki VN750 Forums > Technical Forum > Electrical > Simple charging system troubleshooting.
So you think you have a bad Stator or R/R ?
I am here to try to make things simple for everybody.I believe in the KISS theory,Keep It Simple Stupid !
Ok, the first thing that Has to Happen is your Stator needs to have the proper AC out put,Yes AC.Set your Meter to Ohms 1k or less.Find the bullet connectors coming from the Stator to the R/R.They are probably burned looking or nasty or both.Unplug all three,don't worry it makes no difference how you plug them back up or solder them together.More on that later.
Check from each of these leads ,coming from the stator out of the engine, One at a time to the engine case.Your readings should be Infinity(OL) or very high resistance,If it is enough to make you continuity alarm ring we might have a problem ,maybe not. Some meters are much more sensitive than others.If it shows no continuity, between each leg(Yellow wire) from the stator it has passed the first hurdle for sure,your stator is not grounded to frame.
Next set your meter to VAC,200 or less.Remember I mentioned AC output,we are now going to test that.Start the bike ( you should have the battery fully charged before testing your charging system BTW) warm up the engine to normal operating temperature. This next part is easier with a helper,but you can do it by yourself.run the engine up to around 3K RPM's and check between any and all combinations of the three leads from the stator,you should have between 40 to 70 VAC .Is the voltage up to snuff ? It may be a little more but it's doubtful unless you have one that has been rewound as heavy duty or high output.Did it pass the test?In order to pass it must have proper voltage between all combinations of A1,A2 and A3,if one combination is very low or no voltage at all you have a bad stator.If it is good ,time to move on.
If it passed the voltage test ,shut down your engine and perform the resistance test you did before you started the engine.Has any thing changed between each stator leg and the engine case? Is it still showing OL or a really high resistance reading?If so your stator is good.Feel very relieved about now.
If not it and it is showing a low resistance reading to the engine ground this is not good,Your stator is probably going to ground when warm.
Is every thing up to par so far.If so your life just got easier.Plug your stator back up or cut those nasty bullet connectors off and solder those wires together and heat shrink them so you don't have to worry about a loose or weak connection there any more.I will note there are some folks who put fuses in those connections.I personally don't like that Idea but its your bike,If they are fused and something down stream from there grounds it can take out one of those fuses and you are running on two legs of a three phase system and loading them even more,which raises the heat in the stator and I believe it can lead to stator failure,JMO ,do what you want.
Now,we are ready to move on,to checking the R/R out put.Time to go to the DC scale on your meter.You do have the seat off don't you? If not take it off now.Check Battery Voltage directly on the battery posts.If your battery is good and charged it should read close to 13 volts.Contrary to popular belief a a 12 V battery that reads 12 VDC is Dead! Charge it up it should read 12.6 or above when fully charged at rest.If it won't charge up or won't hold charge overnight ,you just found your problem.If it needs charging take it out of the bike or at least unhook it from the bike's electrical system to isolate it and test while disconnected.if you have to charge it.Go in the house and do whatever it is you do while not riding and come back later and test the battery voltage.Is it good? Reconnect it.
Now start your bike and warm it up again if you had to let it sit long enough to cool off.Check battery voltage at idle.It may be the same as before or a little less, most unmodified VN7XX's don't charge much if any at idle.with your leads attached to the battery posts run the engine up to around three K rpm's again.At this rpm the charging system should be putting out around 13.6 VDC or so.Are you getting this much voltage.I hope so and your charging system is doing what is supposed to,If not lets move on.
A common problem is a bad connection on the R/R plug.Now it gets fun,if you haven't relocated your R/R it is underneath the battery box and directly over the Goats Belly,so take your left side cover off and see if you can see it.Unplug it and check the terminals on the R/R and its plug on the wiring harness.Check closely,if they are corroded clean them up and I mean, shiny and clean,both sides of the connections.If you cleaned them up good put a little dielectric grease on them and reconnect it.Back to the battery and your voltages.Check them again just like you did before and and see if they are the same .If they are you have a bad R/R or wiring issues and it is time to check the wiring and connections including all the frame and engine grounds,I'll let you go through all that mess alone,you're gonna be a while.
Did the voltage come up to the magic 13+ when revved up ?You fixed it!!! Now go ride!!!
If not start checking the connections and if you clean all the connections and see no improvements It is R/R time.
It is that simple,you can test the R/R values found in the repair manual or in the online manual on here.Let me stress that the R/R readings can be within range and it may still not charge.This why I tell you to check ALL connections before you buy a R/R,it is worth your time even if this not the problem even if you find a bad connection on the R/R .You will enjoy a lot more trouble free miles of riding.
I hope this helps simplify trouble shooting your charging system.I am a firm believer in "start at the start". It all starts with the stator and if it isn't right,the rest doesn't matter.So by all means Check it and the Connectors coming from it FIRST!!! It may save you a bunch of time and grief.
I know this a long post but I would imagine you can do these tests faster than I typed this.

Everybody who can help keep this simple chime in.Good catch William and I was sure I had missed something.
Denny, Great post. I would like to add an additional comment. Most owners with poor voltage output immediately think they have a problem with either the stator, rectifier, or poor connections. I believe, after working on three bikes, that the headlight relay is the major culprit. If a bike is showing 12.4 to 12.6 volts output ( with a good test on stator and rectifier ), just by bypassing the headlight relay the output will jump to 13.2 to 13.4 volts around 2000 rpms. The relay system really cuts down voltage to the battery.
Very simple post easy to follow.

come on when you turn on the key, instead of when the engine starts.
headlight comes on. Let us know if you have any problems.
Thanks to denny6006 for pointing me to this thread.
As someone who is a complete newb when it comes to anything mechanical related, photos of what you are talking about would help tremendously.
For example: "Find the bullet connectors coming from the Stator to the R/R."
I have no idea where these are, which side of the bike they are on, nor what they look like. See? Clueless newbie! | 2019-04-26T00:26:10 | https://www.vn750.com/forum/19-electrical/24093-simple-charging-system-troubleshooting.html |
Long before the war broke out, the Nazi leadership in the Free City of Danzig developed the idea of establishing a camp for “undesirable Polish elements”. Since 1936, they closely watched Polish organizations and a special SS troop looked for sites to build detention camps. The Stutthof camp was established on 2 September 1939, only one day after the beginning of the war.
After Himmler’s visit in November 1941, the Nazi’s expanded Stutthof to an interregional camp. From June 1944 it became a tool for mass-extermination. At its largest extension, the camp measured 120 ha, stretching out over 39 subcamps. In total, 110.000 people were imprisoned here. Among them were Poles, Jews, Russians, Ukrainians, Belorussians, Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, Czechs, Slovaks, Finns, Norwegians, French, Danes, Dutch, Belgians, Germans, Austrians, English, Spanish, Italians, Yugoslavs, Hungarians and Roma (gypsies). They were exposed to forced labour, malnutrition, terrible sanitation, disease, mental and physical torture. 65.000 people died as a result of atrocious living conditions as well as executions by shooting, hanging, gassing, lethal injections, beatings and torture, and as a result of hardship and murder during evacuations by land and by sea.
Stutthof was finally liberated on 9 May 1945 by the 48th Army of the 3rd Belorussian front.

The German Gewehr 41 self-loading rifle was limited in its production during World War 2 and thus limited in combat service.
Detailing the development and operational history of the Walther Gewehr 41 (G41 / Gew 41) Self-Loading Semi-Automatic Rifle. Entry last updated on 6/18/2018. Authored by Staff Writer. Content ©www.MilitaryFactory.com.
The Gewehr 41 (or "Gew 41" or "G41") series semi-automatic rifle appeared in relatively few numbers for the German Army during World War 2 (1939-1945). Up to this point in the war, the Wehrmacht relied largely on infantry issued with the standard Mauser-based bolt-action service rifles of previous decades. While utterly reliable and highly proven in combat, these weapons gave a slow rate-of-fire when compared to self-loading types and further limited by their small magazines. The German Empire attempted to introduce automatic weapons into its army ranks during World War 1 but these were generally limited projects with few seeing considerable action. With the new World War in Europe, a new arms program was enacted to deliver a capable, self-loading, semi-automatic service rifle to German infantry elements.
In 1941, the work ultimately yielded the "Gewehr 41" with two prototype versions being delivered by the long-standing firearms firms of Mauser and Walther. As such, each form varied slightly in their assigned designations - the Mauser product was known as "Gew 41(M)" and the Walther product was known as "Gew 41(W)". One of the interesting requirements pressed upon the companies was to include a bolt-action mechanism as a fail-safe should the automatic loading action fail in service. The other requirements specified that no moving parts be set along the surfaces of the gun and no holes were to be bored into the barrel for the purpose of "tapping" the required gasses for the loading operation. Therefore a completely new operating system was developed known - rather amusingly - as the "Bang" mechanism, though this name coming from the operation's Danish designer, Soren H. Bang. After some evaluation, the Mauser design was removed from contention with the more stable Walther rifle - its designers effectively ignoring the "moving parts" and "bolt-action" requirements - being accepted into German Army service. Production of the rifle stemmed from Berlin-Luebecker Maschinenfabrik of Lubeck and the Carl Walther Waffenfabrik AG facility at Zella-Mehlis in Germany.
The Gew 41(W) appeared not unlike the bolt-action rifles of the time with the stock, receiver and fore-end all represented through a wooden body. The barrel was nested within the wood frame and all of the critical internal components were set in the aft portion of the receiver. The stock contoured finely into an ergonomic integrated pistol grip with the curved trigger set within an oblong ring. The internal (non-detachable) 10-round box magazine was set ahead of the trigger group and fed from the topside of the receiver by ammunition "clips". A flip-up type sight found along the middle of the receiver allowed for some level of accurized fire and was complemented by a forward post sight above the muzzle. Internally, the weapon was gas-operated - trapping its gas around the muzzle to drive a piston - with its unique locking bolt system required to complete the semi-automatic action. Weight was listed at 10.87lb (4.9kg) and overall length was 44.8 inches (1,140mm) with the barrel measuring 21.5 inches (546mm) long.
Since the weapon featured a 10-round integral, non-removable magazine for reloading purposes, the magazine relied on two 5-round "stripper clips" of 7.92x57mm Mauser cartridges - the same ammunition, and clips, as found in the standard service Mauser Karabiner 98K bolt-action rifle of the German Army. While the self-loading prospect of the rifle was the key to its ultimate success or failure, the actual reloading of the two individual stripper clips in the heat of battle left something to be desired. Rate-of-fire from a trained soldier could reach between 20- and 30-rounds-per-minute. Muzzle velocity was rated at 2,328 feet-per-second with an effective range of about 400 meters.
However, once in practice, the Gew 41 proved limiting in several key respects. Chief of all, the Gew 41(W) proved expensive to mass-produce, a common failing of many early-war weapons. The gas system was overly complicated and prone to fouling and the weapon suffered from an inherent imbalance in her design making it noticeably heavy at the muzzle. As was the case with complicated guns, the internal components required much attention in the field in terms of general maintenance when combating the effects of battlefield dust, dirt, and debris along with general wear and tear. Reloading was tedious and potentially life-threatening to the operator.
With these deficiencies in mind, only between 6,600 and 8,000 Gew 41 rifles were ultimately delivered for service. Despite this, the Gew 41 series remained, for a time, the only self-loading rifle available to German troops. The line was eventually superseded by the similar - though much improved - Gewehr 43 (Gew 43) which followed the Gew 41 into service during 1943. The Gew 43 became a more "production friendly" model, featured a detachable box magazine, and could mount a scope to make for a deadly sniper system. However, the Gew 43 was only made possible after the Germans came across captured examples of Soviet Tokarev automatic rifles and their gas-operated system - which tapped its gasses from the barrel; the Tokarev gas system was more-or-less outright copied for the German Gew 43.
Regardless, the Gew 41 did make it to at least the Eastern Front following the German invasion of the Soviet Union though these weapons were often found in the hands of "special forces" elements within the Wermacht and were not standard issue among general infantry. | 2019-04-25T07:51:19 | https://www.militaryfactory.com/smallarms/detail.asp?smallarms_id=425 |

To promote and manage the ATRIUM Cultural Route, the ATRIUM Association was founded in June 2013 by the partner of the ATRIUM project (2011-2013), financed under the South East Europe programme. The project highlighted a key element of 20th-century European history: the cultural heritage and memory associated with totalitarian regimes and their particular architectural legacy. The main result of the cooperation between the partners was to bring together different experiences in order to discover shared historical elements.
According to the Statute (EN, IT), the Association disposes of the following organs, which guarantee the governance and efficiency of the cultural route.
The General Assembly is composed of one representative for each members of the Association. | 2019-04-21T12:17:50 | http://atriumroute.eu/about-us/atrium-association |

A crash between a train and a dump truck east of Seymour leaves a father and son dead. The Highway Patrol says 58-year-old Gary Lee from Seymour and 34-year-old Chad Lee from Ava were in a truck that belonged to the Seymour Special Road district. Stephanie Hickey from Seymour says she got out to help after the crash, but there was nothing she could do.
The Highway Patrol says the driver of the truck failed to stop at the tracks on Oaklawn Road off Highway 60. Troopers say the crossing has a stop sign, but does not have a stop arm or flashing lights.

As most would acknowledge, local street crime has become a significant concern to the public in many countries. Jim Consedine, a long-serving prison chaplain in New Zealand and an advocate of restorative justice, asserts that corporate crime and governmental crime go largely unnoticed and unhindered. He details why, from his perspective, this is the case; and he explores options for the future to deal with crime in the widest sense, from local street crime to corporate and governmental crime. In general, he argues that transformative and restorative processes provide opportunities for accountability, apology, personal and collective responsibility, and healing at all levels of crime and its effects.

The pension crisis continues across the U.S., and public employees aren’t the only ones affected by it. Ninety-three percent of the biggest defined-benefit plans covering S&P 500 companies aren’t fully funded, which means those who were counting on pensions to support their retirement must immediately plan for the worst-case scenario. Congress has just waded into the fray on multi-employer pension plans by forming the Joint Select Committee on Solvency of Multiemployer Pension Plans, a committee to rescue these plans that are on the brink of insolvency, but some of them are already folding.
The executive director of Central States Pension Fund told the 400,000 members of the $15.1 billion fund this month that it will likely be insolvent by 2025. He also called on members to press Congress for a bailout. The formation of the congressional committee is certainly the first step toward bailing out multi-employer pension plans such as Central States, but now committee members must get to work and actually do something about all the pension plans that are heading for insolvency.
Central States Pension Fund shells out $2.8 billion in benefits annually while collecting only $700 million from members per year. The problem is that most of the companies that were participating in the funds have gone under or simply left the plans, and returns on the funds’ investments aren’t nearly enough to offset the difference.
Central States is hardly the only multi-employer pension fund facing insolvency. Unfortunately, the fund’s problems have become very typical across the pension industry, with most of them facing the same fate in the coming years. This is why Congress is trying to provide relief for the millions of workers and retirees who will be affected.
According to employee-benefits expert Elliot Dinkin of Cowden Associates, 186 of the 200 biggest defined-benefit plans serving the S&P 500 aren’t fully funded. DuPont already announced that it will stop paying into 13,000 employees’ pensions, while 70,000 UPS workers won’t receive increased benefits if they work after 2020.
Yum! Brands is even paying off some of its former employees with lump sums to get rid of some of its pension liabilities. General Electric is by far the worst-off, he adds, and he blames company management for robbing its pensions to pay for mergers and acquisitions. GE’s pension is now running at a $31 billion deficit after having a $14.6 billion surplus in 2001, before CEO Jeff Immelt took the helm.
The pension crisis has left many who are retired or close to retirement wondering what will happen to their pensions if or when they become insolvent. According to Dinkin, there are some protections in place for multi-employer pension plans, although they are limited until Congress crafts some sort of bailout.
Of course, this means that members won’t get all of the benefits they were counting on when their pension funds become insolvent. Dinkin adds that the government has already given approval for some “severely underfunded multi-employer pension plans” to reduce the benefits they pay to current retirees, but many such plans have yet to receive any sort of aid.
The congressional committee that was appointed to work on a fix for underfunded multi-employer pension plans does have a number of options to help retirees. Dinkin expects provisions such as loans or bonds, along with an order to change the plans themselves.
The Multiemployer Pension Funding Study conducted by Milliman found that these pensions are better funded this year than they have been in the last decade, but it’s looking like too little too late. At this point, the congressional committee that was appointed to work on the pension crisis facing multi-employer pension plans has yet to take any steps. The Joint Select Committee on Solvency of Multiemployer Pension Plans met last month to hear testimony from witnesses about the problem, but it’s still too early to know what kinds of steps it might take. | 2019-04-24T10:21:56 | https://www.valuewalk.com/2018/05/major-multi-employer-pension-plans/ |
With midterm elections in Central New York fast approaching, cable television has been plagued by smear ads knocking one political candidate after another. Meanwhile, New York was recently ranked “the nation’s worst business tax climate,” an unfortunate title in a nation with the highest corporate tax rate in the world. The present fiscal environment has prompted the Republican candidate for the 24th district of U.S. Congress, and former assistant U.S. attorney John Katko, to push for job creation and empower small businesses.
Citizens United has become synonymous with too much money in politics, corporate personhood, the abolition of democracy, and the Koch brothers. This is a misunderstanding. The heart of the decision is that the government may not ban political spending by corporations in candidate elections.

Relaunched in late 2017, Stoli Gold has changed their recipe as well as updated their bottle. The vodka is based on 100% single-estate Gubernator Dona winter wheat. The water used in this vodka has been filtered through shungite, a meteoric rock found in the Tambov region in Russia. The vodka is filtered like their standard Stoli, through Russian birch charcoal and quartz sand, but it also is filtered through coils of gold thread. | 2019-04-19T22:25:11 | https://manila-wine.com/stolichnaya-gold-1l-russian-vodka |

We investigate whether positive framing increases cooperation in three social dilemmas with slightly different properties: a linear public goods (PG) game, a non-linear PG game, and a common pool resource (CPR) game. Results from our laboratory experiments show that contributions to a linear PG are higher if the externality is framed positively, rather than negatively, corroborating earlier findings by Andreoni (1995). By contrast, we find no such framing effects in the non-linear PG game or the CPR game. In these games, the best response in the material payoffs is to contribute less if others contribute more, counteracting effects of pro-social preferences. Positive framing therefore does not help to solve the tragedy of the commons. | 2019-04-23T08:33:30 | http://eprints.lse.ac.uk/90607/ |
HONOLULU – The Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA) will hold an informational meeting on Maui to present plans for the release of a natural enemy of the fireweed, a plant that is toxic to most livestock and which has infested hundreds of thousands of acres of Maui pasture land.
Fireweed, also known as Madagascan Ragwort, has daisy-like flowers. The plant, however, is highly toxic and can kill cattle and horses. Long term, it will even kill sheep and goats which are known to feed on it. Fireweed infestations are so extensive on Maui and Hawaii Island that other control methods are cost-prohibitive and impractical.
HDOA has extensively studied the natural predator, the Madagascan fireweed moth for more than 13 years. After reviews at State and Federal levels, final approval for release was granted in December 2012. The moths have already been released on Hawaii Island. The planned release on Maui will represent a collaborative effort between island ranchers, the University of Hawaii, and HDOA. | 2019-04-23T22:48:17 | http://hdoa.hawaii.gov/blog/main/informational-meeting-scheduled-on-maui-on-biocontrol-for-fireweed/ |
My inspiration for these charm necklaces are the simple collections of shells, beach glass, crosses and coins that I see strung on leather cords, worn by those who walk the beaches here on the Jersey Shore. Each charm is a found object or a gift representing a personal memory or a talisman of good luck. Do you wear something like that? Let me know what it is in the comments. I'm always interested in how the soul is reflected in what we choose to wear about our necks. It's our most ancient and most human impulse.
I added these unique, one of a kind charm necklaces to the Pirate Tides Collection. Each of these is a treasure and has a special story to tell. They will reveal the story to you, as you wear them on your life journey. They are made to layer easily with your other tokens you collect along the way. I have had so much fun making them. Take a look by clicking each picture below. If one of them speaks to you, please consider buying it. There will never be another one like it, when it's gone.
These are all ready to ship within 1 business day from the order.
Have you ever used a penny machine? That old fashioned, gear driven machine that squashes a coin into an elongated souvenir? If so, you've used a version of a jeweler's rolling mill. A mini rolling mill is the latest addition to my jewelry studio.
Sterling Silver "X Marks the Spot" made by Rolling Mill. Bronze X made by etching.
The cool thing about making jewelry is that there is always more than one way to perform a task, to get to a similar end result. I've been getting by for several years without a rolling mill, but I finally bought a mini, to make my tasks go a bit quicker. I still intend on saving up for a full size top of the line Durston mill...someday..to make everything even quicker and easier.
Anyway, above are two examples of how I've put an X onto metal. (I use these in my Pirate Tides Jewelry Collection.) The bronze X was created using etching acid. The sterling silver Xs were made with my new Rolling Mill. I used the bronze X that I had etched, and pressed it with annealed silver, so the etching was transferred to the silver. This is how your penny comes out with "Souvenir of ..." on it.
Side view of Rolling Mill, a manual, gear driven tool for the Jeweler and metalsmith.
Don't let the image fool you. Even though it's a machine, it is still hand powered. My strength and adjustment of the gears is needed to perform the tasks. This is true with most "machines" in the studio jewelers shop. Come back next Tuesday and I'll tell you about another tool in my studio.
This post is the first in a series, titled Tools Tuesday. On most Tuesdays, I will share some pictures and information on the tools I use to create the jewelry I make for you.
Pirate Tides Jewelry Collection is now available online!
Finally! I have gathered all my pirate themed and inspired rings, earrings and necklaces and put them together into my new collection - Pirate Tides.
Please take a look. I've separated the forms and have included an Art Rings section. You can click on each image for a detail page and a purchase option.
As you know, if you've been following me this year, I've been caught up in telling a story through the metal. The most obvious tales are in the art rings, where treasure maps are hidden. This spilled over into more "every day" jewelry, with an X marking the treasure (your loved one) and sometimes just a rustic hammered ring band that anyone, pirate or not, who likes a rugged style, would wear.
I watched every pirate movie ever made (some of them several times), while sitting at my bench and creating these treasures. I have a little dvd player on my bench. It's pure bliss to sit and file a ring, moving the metal grains on the surface, and watching a sword fight on the little screen. I love Erroll Flynn in Sea Hawk and Captain Blood. Of course, I love all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies too (especially the first one). All that swashbuckling splashed onto the metal. I think you can see it, if you look. If you like those movies, I think you'll like my jewelry too.
Thanks for your support this year - my personal Year of the Pirate. 2012 is on the horizon. I'm looking forward to discovering a new story to tell in the new year.
Till then, please take a look at my Pirate Tides Jewelry Collection. Let me know what you think.
Did that put you in the mood to watch some pirate movies?
Sometimes, when I'm making orders I work on something just for fun during the minutes while I'm waiting for a piece to cool, or soak or ..well..whatever.
So, this is the latest "fun" piece I just finished yesterday.
The two strips of blue enamel hold a secret inside. Look in this picture and you will see the top two strips are etched with the words DISCOVER and JOURNEY. I love those two words. Life is a journey and every journey is the opportunity to discover. Wear these earrings and you'll be ready for the journey, ready to discover your one of a kind life.
I covered the words with several layers of Prussian Blue enamel. It's so rich and deep, like a night sky or the Atlantic waters. The natural shells have a mystical swirl pattern. They dangle from sterling silver posts that I made by hammering for texture. I couldn't resist engraving a little star to top it off.
These are long statement earrings. They measure 3 inches long!
I think they would be a perfect birthday or graduation gift.
I put them on the Etsy store this morning. I'm not sure if I'll make anymore. What do you think? Should I add them to the Metal Sky Collection? Or maybe they fit into Pirate Tides? I'd love to know what you think.
I just wanted to share a few peeks at my new collection today. It's not quite done, but it's getting closer. Actually, I have a few items already in the Etsy store. But soon, the whole collection will be available here at Pirate Tides Collection.
What a Ship Is.. Pendant - "Wherever we want to go, we'll go. That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and a deck and sails. That's what a ship needs, but what a ship is..what the Black Pearl really is...is freedom."
Double sided pendant made of sterling silver and a blue agate.
Pirate's Freedom Ring - I used an antique design to figure the placement and technique to cut facets right on the silver for this ring. It looks like it's hammered - a very rugged look. I stamped the word FREEDOM inside the band. I think of this as a pirate's wedding band. | 2019-04-26T13:36:43 | http://www.maryluwason.com/blog/category/pirate%20tides |
Because the scriptures say to be prepared both in and out of season, it is extremely important that you spend time before the trip preparing to share what God has done in your life. A good testimony will both glorify God and edify men, so whether or not you were saved in the pews of your church at five or if you were saved in prison, the purpose of your testimony is to show that you were a sinner in desperate need and that God rescued you and redeemed you.
DO: Pick a Bible verse that has been the theme of your life. Talk about how the Lord has changed you.
If you have any questions on what to bring or how to prepare your testimony, please contact us. | 2019-04-26T02:31:36 | http://www.soshope.org/serve-overseas/prepare-for-your-trip/ |
NDN is a novel networking architecture for Future Internet proposed to address today’s Internet requirements. Indeed, the Internet is now mostly used to access content, and the current Internet architecture has not been designed for this purpose. NDN relies on content names and introduces host-to-content communication paradigm and new features such as in-network caching, data encryption, mobility support or multi-path, and has attracted a huge research community. In this presentation, we will present the NDN architecture, point out its current limitations and presents our novel caching strategies designed for NDN as well as our routing scheme.
We will also discuss security issues and propose countermeasures to secure this architecture.

For successful dental treatment your home care is vital. Teeth cleaning through brushing and flossing is essential for the health of your mouth. Once you have serious periodontal (gum) disease it can never be cured, the best you can hope for is to keep it controlled. Our commitment is to help you plan your dental destiny so that you will understand and appreciate your role in maintaining the health of your teeth and gums. Dr. Hofflich will teach you how to become healthy, but whether you stay healthy will be up to you.
The consequence of tarter and plaque remaining present is further gum recession, deepening gum pockets, bad breath and the loss of most, if not all, of your teeth. Formerly known as “pyrhorrea”, periodontal (gum) disease is the most common dental disease. Periodontal disease cannot be cured if it reaches advanced stages. Advanced stage periodontal disease can only be controlled in the best circumstances and it is the primary reason why people end up needing dentures. Most people who have early stages of gum disease do not have any pain and do not realize that they have a problem; however, treatment of this condition is most successful at the early stages.
Thorough removal of the poison-producing bacterial plaque from all tooth surfaces will eliminate or control the primary cause of gum disease and cavities. Polishing of the teeth will help to prevent further plaque build-up in the future. Regular re-care, or cleaning, appointments are suggested every 3-6 months and will be determined by Dr Hofflich.
The pink acrylic resin portion of the denture is a plastic material and has a minor amount of porosity which can collect debris and odor. In addition, dental plaque and the associated odor can accumulate on dentures in the same manner as it accumulates on natural teeth. Therefore, it is imperative to thoroughly clean your dentures for the health of your gum tissue as well as the elimination of denture odor.
You will be given written or verbal instructions on proper cleaning procedures for your dentures. An evaluation of your dentures at recall appointments may necessitate additional cleaning recommendations. | 2019-04-18T15:27:41 | http://www.smileboutique.com/available-dental-services/teeth-cleaning/ |

Three weeks into the new season, the best non-conference resume in college basketball belongs to Baylor. The Bears already have four wins against teams ranked among the KenPom top 50 thanks to a flawless run through the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament, and they’ll have yet another chance to score a victory over a marquee opponent when they host Xavier on Saturday afternoon. November served as a national breakout party for Big 12 POY candidate Johnathan Motley, whose length, footwork and range have keyed Baylor’s hot start. But one player — even someone the caliber of the 6’10” junior — doesn’t result in a 7-0 start with wins over Oregon, VCU, Michigan State and Louisville. While there’s no doubt Motley is keeping opposing coaches up at night, the unheralded pieces around him have helped the team flourish as well.
Motley makes the whole thing go in the paint, but junior center Jo Lual-Acuil has also been a force. The JuCo transfer owns the nation’s third-best shot block rate (15.6%) and already has 29 rejections on the year. For most big men, there are two potential costs to chasing blocks: foul trouble and getting caught out of position for the rebound. But Lual-Acuil is the rare breed of player who has both avoided the whistle (2.3 fouls per 40 minutes) and remained a presence on the defensive glass (team-leading 25.1% defensive rebounding rate). Big 12 play may cause some regression when Lual-Acuil faces players willing to challenge him at the rim, but that doesn’t make him any less important. On the offensive end, the attention Motley commands opens a number of close looks that Lual-Acuil is converting at an incredibly high rate. Two-way threats at the five don’t come around very often, but Baylor has one of them.
Welcome to what is certain to be an exciting and perplexing year of our Big 12 Power Rankings. Most of the fun found in doing weekly power rankings is to watch the progression of each team from December to March. The other fun part is being given the license to be dead wrong in December because conference play hasn’t yet started. Since we’re less than a month away from league play, join us as we are free to drive off of the road with our rankings and crash into as many mailboxes before our front bumper is no longer a front bumper. Remember to buckle up.
It’s New Year’s Day for college hoops fans. To help celebrate, Big Twelve correspondent Brian Goodman (@bsgoodman) and Pac-12 writer Andrew Murawa (@AMurawa) teamed up to offer this breakdown of an interesting opening night game: Colorado vs. Baylor in Dallas.
Baylor will win if… It feeds its stars and contains Colorado’s secondary options. The Bears’ offense under Scott Drew has always been among the nation’s best, and this season should be no different. There may not be a big man in the country that can stretch a defense like Isaiah Austin can, and Cory Jefferson‘s 41-of-56 shooting mark during the NIT should put Colorado on notice. Throw in Brady Heslip‘s three-point prowess and the Buffs will have their hands full. Defensively, it’s hard to say whether Baylor’s guards can contain Spencer Dinwiddie. Heslip has never been known for his defense, Kenny Chery is the Bears’ newest undersized point guard who will be playing his first Division I game, as will heralded freshman tweener Ish Wainright. I’m not sure either of the three can be counted on to keep Tad Boyle‘s emerging star in check, so Baylor’s defensive gameplan should lean more heavily towards containing Colorado’s other options. If Austin, Royce O’Neale and Rico Gathers make Xavier Johnson think twice about driving and keep Josh Scott and redshirt freshman Wesley Gordon from getting easy looks in the paint, it probably won’t matter how well Dinwiddie plays.
Colorado will win if… Their veteran backcourt can make life miserable for a couple of Baylor perimeter guys – Chery and Wainright – who are making their Division I debuts. Between Dinwiddie and his junior backcourt mate Askia Booker, the pair of Colorado guards has been through a lot of battles. Dinwiddie has turned into a rock solid presence at the point, capable of creating for himself or finding his teammates in good position. Booker, however, has taken plenty of heat as a guy who is a bit too wild and a bit too in love with his own jumper. With more offensive weapons on this year’s squad, the hope is that Booker dials back his shot-hunting a bit and dials up his shooting percentages in turn. Either way, both of these guys are capable of causing plenty of trouble for young Bear ballhandlers like Chery and Wainright. In a big game right out of the gate where emotions are high, the calming presence of a pair of backcourt greybeards who have been through their fair share of battles may be enough to tip the scales in the Buffaloes favor. Oh, and not to pile on or anything, but in a battle of wits between Boyle and Drew, gimme Boyle. | 2019-04-24T14:27:13 | http://rushthecourt.net/tag/ish-wainright/ |

Exciting Announcement on the Boss Blog today!!
We’ve decided to shake things up a bit around here and we are super excited to announce that once a month we will be inviting a special guest to join us for our segment of This Week’s Picks! If you have been following along for a while then you know that every week we feature new and exciting items via try-ons over on our Instagram stories. We thought it would be super fun to showcase different women/influencers throughout the city and to also allow our followers and customers to see the clothing on different body shapes and sizes.
For our very first guest appearance we were thrilled to have Sarah Pankiw, Medical Equipment Sales Rep during the day and blogger by night! This hard working momma loves all things beauty and fashion related and she is always keeping it real over on her insta stories. One of the many things I find inspiring about Sarah is that she keeps things realistic, by putting together beautiful outfits that don’t break the bank. She proves that you don’t NEED multiple designer accessories, like that $5000+ Chanel bag to look the part and to feel like a million bucks!
Ok, let’s just take a minute to obsess over the “Henley Bodysuit”-$60, I mean this is a spring/ summer must have. Back in the winter, Jackson Rowe had a long sleeve, turtleneck version of this bodysuit and I’m pretty sure us girls at Miss Boss lived in them!! They are seriously so comfy, stretchy, and of course, the most important part, super flattering. This tank version is available in 3 different colours, black, rust, and stripe, and for size reference Sarah is wearing a Medium in the videos. She has paired the striped bodysuit with DL “Farrow Denim High Rise”-$250 in a size 30, and both of these items are available both in store and online.
If you loved the ribbed material and button detail on “Henley Bodysuit” then you are going to also want to pay attention to this next item! The “Daisy Dress”- $98 is available in black and rust and has almost identical details to the bodysuit, however it is obviously a dress and as an added bonus it’s double lined! Sarah did size up to a large in this dress and paired it with the black Malvados slides for a super easy on the go look. ALSO, our 20% off sale on ALL Malvados sandals is still going strong, so don’t forget to cash in on that deal before all the sizes are gone!!
If you have shopped at Miss Boss before than you are no stranger to the Jackson Rowe staples which include the Knotty Tee, Classic Crew, and the Girlfriend tee. It is no secret that the “Knotty Tee” is always a best seller because of its super flattering fit, and luckily for us Jackson Rowe has a version of this top for every season. In the winter we carry the “Winter Knotty”, and most recently for spring/summer we just received the “Knotty Tank” which is what we featured in this week’s picks. The “Knotty Tank” retails for $58 and is available in black, berry, mustard, and green which is the colour Sarah featured paired with the amazing J Brand Mid-Rise Skinny jeans in a size 30.
Oh Gentle Fawn…you just never disappoint!!! I have to say that Gentle Fawn is a go to brand for me, because a) their stuff is so stinking cute, and b) the price point is just so affordable! I also love that you can find everything in this line from dressy work appropriate clothes, to cute jumpsuits for those summer weddings, to casual sweaters and tees. We obviously couldn’t feature the entire shipment, so we selected a few of our most favourite pieces to share with all of you!
We started off with this beautiful must have “Ninette Jumpsuit”-$130 in deep blue. This loose fitting jumpsuit features criss cross detailing at the back and adjustable straps. I love how easy and versatile this piece is, making it the perfect item to take on all those summer vacas! To dress it down, toss on a denim jacket and a pair of flip flops, and to dress it up throw on some glam jewelry and a pair of block heels! Another way to style this jumpsuit is with the “Othella” wrap -$79. This lightweight wrap also looks super cute over a white tank and a pair of denim shorts.
OK, this next item is at the TOP of my current must have list. I don’t know what it is about a knitted tank, but when I see them I just need them in every colour! Honest story….last year we received a different version of the knitted tank and initially I just bought one, but by the end of summer I owned it in 3 different colours!!! So believe me when I say, I would NOT judge you if after seeing the “Dunbar knit tank”- $98, you decided you also needed it in orange, white, AND taupe! I personally feel like this top does have a slightly oversized fit, so just keep that in mind if ordering online, oh and don’t forget to use Sarah’s code (sarahspicks) for 10% off!!
Now if you are looking for a nice lightweight linen blend shirt, this beautiful mauve coloured “Carrine” top is a great piece to think about adding to your summer wardrobe. I would say the fit is slightly boxier giving it a nice flowy fit, and it retails for just $79. Pair this top with your favourite white denim, wedge heels, and an eLiasz and eLLa bracelet stack!
Sometimes I purposely save the best for last, but I have to say that I absolutely loved everything that Sarah featured for This Week’s Picks so it’s very hard to pick just ONE favourite!
With that being said, the “Arthur Jumpsuit” is pretty dang amazing and would be great for any hot holiday, wine tour, or just a casual Sunday stroll through our local farmers market. This beautiful striped jumpsuit features a zip closure on the side, a tie back, wide leg, and the material is a linen/rayon blend. Sarah is wearing a size 10 and this jumpsuit retails for $130.
Well, that’s a wrap on this week’s blog, but we would like to say one last special thanks to our friend, Sarah Pankiw for being our first official guest on This Week’s Picks, we had an absolute blast!!! Also, one last reminder to use the code “sarahspicks” on everything that was featured this week for 10% off those items! | 2019-04-25T00:23:25 | https://missboss.ca/blogs/this-weeks-picks/this-weeks-picks-special-guest-appearance-jackson-rowe-gentle-fawn |
Manchester City will face a massive challenge when Liverpool visit the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Despite picking up seven points from three games, manager Pep Guardiola cannot be too content with recent performances: the victories over Brighton and Bournemouth were not entirely convincing despite dominating position, and a point against Everton was salvaged by a late Raheem Sterling equaliser.
Liverpool’s visit to Manchester will no doubt be City’s biggest game of the season so far and the big question to be asked is, will City be able to contain the attacking force of Salah, Firmino, and Mané, especially with skipper Vincent Kompany missing out due to injury?
Kompany took a blow to the knee in Belgium’s game against Gibraltar then later felt a tightness in his calf, and hasn’t been spotted in training since. Guardiola confirmed in his press conference today that the captain isn’t likely to feature against Jürgen Klopp’s side after his 15th calf injury in only five years. Considering his absence, three options are available to replace him if Pep wants to stick to three at the back: Eliaquim Mangala, Fernandinho, or Tosin Adarabioyo. All of these alternatives are risky and appear somewhat sub-par, particularly in a game against a team as fast on the counter as Liverpool. Mangala is of course a natural centre-back, but was deemed surplus to requirements by Guardiola and isn’t very well-suited to City’s possession-based style.
Fernandinho has been preferred as a holding midfielder this season and him shifting to centre-back would require Touré, Delph, or a not entirely fit Gündogan to take up the role of covering the back three. None of these options appear too likely. That only leaves City with Tosin, a defender with virtually no experience in the Premier League. Kompany’s injury outlines why City were so eager to acquire Jonny Evans – one centre-back misses out and the concept of back three either collapses or the missing component is replaced with an inadequate alternative.
Due to this, it is likely that City will return to a back four. Kyle Walker slots back into the team after his suspension, with Stones and Otamendi forming the centre-back pairing. Mendy retains his spot on the left side of the defence whilst Fernandinho, needed for his defensive capabilities in a game such as this, covers the defence in what could be a return to a 4-4-3/4-1-4-1 formation mostly used towards the end of last season.
With the attacking capabilities of Liverpool, I would think that Pep would want to rely on two rather defensive midfielders, Touré and Fernandinho, whilst playing Silva in a playmaker role. This would mean that De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus would have to share the wider positions with Agüero being the main striker. Alternatively, Sané could start instead of Agüero, with Jesus playing centre-forward and Sané and KDB operating from the flanks. Either scenario is possible, but I believe that Pep goes all out and hand out a start to both Jesus and Agüero. | 2019-04-23T16:10:02 | https://www.mcfcwatch.com/2017/09/08/predicted-man-city-xi-vs-liverpool-return-to-four-at-the-back-as-kompany-misses-out/ |

Health and fitness business Sweat and Oranges share how they built an Instagram empire of 12,000 followers in a mere twelve months.
Health and fitness business Sweat and Oranges have built an Instagram empire of 12,000 followers in twelve months through posting daily images of their meals, workouts and inspirational quotes to encourage their audience to realise that ’healthy can be a way of life’. We couldn’t resist asking founders (and sisters) Jayne and Katie to share some of their tips with our readers interested learning how to master the booming social media platform.
We try not to focus on what you shouldn’t be doing, but what you CAN be doing to live a healthier life. We also try to reflect this in our images with lots of bright colours and motivational quotes. When people go through their feed and land on our picture, we want them to smile and be encouraged!
We have met some amazing people on this journey, from women getting out there and living their best life despite busy schedules, to big name companies who inspire us such as Lorna Jane.
There are so many people doing so many different things on Instagram it can be easy to start thinking maybe we should be more like this or more like that. We are committed to being ourselves and hope that people will be attracted to our page because they find us to be real and authentic people just living a healthy life.
We try and make the recipes we post and the workout challenges fit into everyone’s budgets and busy lifestyles. We love healthy food, but if a recipe calls for 10 different superfoods, even we probably won’t bother making it. Same goes for exercise, we provide tips and programs that people can easily do at home or out and about with little or no equipment.
We post daily and think people like the consistency of regular motivation. We found a big correlation between increasing our followers and posting consistently.

Due to all the contradictory – and misleading – information promoted for years on amateur websites and chatrooms, many current Sugar Glider owners are not aware that the outdated dietary and care practices they are following could actually be harming their pets. As such, the Association of Sugar Glider Veterinarians (ASGV)™ has produced the following series of short educational videos. They are designed specifically to “cut through” all the Internet hype, and give owners like yourself safe, reliable ways to feed and care for your Sugar Glider(s) – based on solid Veterinary science and field research.
Since almost all of the medical problems seen by Vets are related to improper diet, we suggest you watch all these videos – IN THE ORDER THEY ARE LISTED. For your convenience, you can also print out a written transcript of each video.

New COTN Values & Procedures Booklet!
The COTN Values and Procedures Manual is an overview of the outworking of the Church of the Nations Family in our society today. This manual outlines the history, the vision, heart and structure of COTN.
This booklet is available for download as E-Book or can be printed for distribution in a local church.
God has created the family to be the foundational structure and instrument for blessing in the church, community and nation. However our day-to-day lives are strongly influenced by circumstances that exert pressures resulting in weariness, tension and division.
Getting married is probably one of the most significant things a person does in one's life. However, while years of study are spent educating ourselves for a career, little or no time is invested in getting equipped for marriage and raising a family.
Man has been created in three parts. The spirit, soul and body make up the three parts but to understand how they fit together and to place them in order of importance, we need to study the Word of God. | 2019-04-23T05:11:26 | https://cotn.org/equipping |

We tend to think of faith as something intangible, invisible, ethereal, like a foggy mist. But God can see your faith.
So can you, if it’s real. And so can others.
Faith is always on display… by our works… by what we do… by how we live. It's visible.
“Show me your faith without works” James says, “and I will show you my faith by my works” (James 2:18).
Any faith that does not bear spiritual fruit and obvious good works is not the kind of faith you want to rely on. It will not take you where you want to go in eternity.
“By their fruit, you shall know them” Jesus said, (Matthew 7:16).
By what right, one wonders.
And by the way, that doesn’t make the deceased a Christian any more than purchasing a gym membership makes him/her an athlete!
GETTING RIGHT WITH GOD is the only thing that matters.
This means repentance. Confessing sin, asking for forgiveness. It means having a change of mind, and a change of heart about how you are living your life. It means turning your life over to the will to God.
This kind of faith eventually proves itself as saving faith because it produces visible evidence, spiritual fruit, (for you and others to see) as you grow in maturity and sanctification.
“Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to CONFIRM your calling and election, for if you PRACTICE THESE QUALITIES you will never fall. For IN THIS WAY there will be richly provided for you’re an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (I Peter 1:10-11).
This is the kind of eternal security you can rely on. | 2019-04-26T16:55:04 | http://www.ronniechristian.com/2014/11/show-me-your-faith.html |
When the chill winds whip up and you want to feel warm and comfortable reach for the Genie button up neck sweatshirt, made from brushed-back sweat fabric with an acid wash, giving a classic pre-worn look.
Don’t let the colder air stop you enjoying that evening stroll, throw on your super-soft, but hard wearing Genie button neck sweatshirt.
Lovely colour contrasts, fits really well - unfortunately the buttons are loose and will need to be sewn back on, maybe that's why it was in the sale?
Nice sweatshirt and colour very good price.

Matt Weber's runner-up finish is believed to be the best by a high school player in the tournament’s 99-year history.
This time, experience triumphed over youth.
Brandon Aydlett had the experience. The Metairie native had been trying to win the State Amateur Golf Championship since he was 18, just before he began a four-year playing career at LSU.
That was one year before Matt Weber was born.
But there they were, the 36-year-old Aydlett, a veteran of Louisiana Golf Association events and with experience on professional mini-tours before regaining his amateur status in 2012 … and Weber, who just finished his junior year at St. Thomas More High and had never teed it up in any LGA championship event.
The original 144-player field in the 99th edition of the state’s premier amateur golf event had been whittled down to a two-player race entering Sunday’s final round at Oakbourne Country Club, with former LSU golfer Aydlett and Weber tied for the lead through 54 holes. The two were still tied through nine holes Sunday, and again were deadlocked with five holes to go.
It was Aydlett who did the finishing Sunday, stringing together nine straight pars on that back nine and finishing with a two-under 70 final round and a six-under-par 282 to win by four shots.
Weber struggled to find greens in the closing stages, and a putter that had been solid through three rounds deserted him, finishing with four bogeys on the final five holes and taking runner-up honors at two-under 286.
Aydlett made it happen with a series of two-putt pars on each of the last eight holes, after seeing his second multi-stroke lead evaporate at the turn Sunday. One of those pars came at the par-four 14th where Weber was not able to get up-and-down from under trees on the left side of the fairway. That became a disappointing refrain for the reigning Acadiana Area High School Golf League medalist and a two-time top-five finisher in the LHSAA state championship.
UL sophomore Jack Tolson of Opelousas finished off a 69-71 weekend for third place, five strokes back at one-under 287, and former State Amateur champion Greg Berthelot was three more strokes back at 290. Berthelot won the state’s top amateur event in 2011, the last time it was held at Oakbourne.
Weber was the only player in the field to record three sub-par rounds (71-70-71) Thursday through Saturday before finishing with a 40 on Sunday’s back nine and a closing two-over 74.
Aydlett knows the heartbreak of close calls. He finished second behind Patrick Christovich in 2012 at TPC Louisiana and was third at Monroe’s Bayou de Siard in 2015 despite a final round 68. He also was second in the Mid-Amateur (age 25 and over) in 2014 before finally breaking through in an LGA event when he won the 2015 Mid-Amateur.
He did that in quite different fashion than his second-round 67, a bogey-free trip that could have been even better when more makeable birdie putts didn’t’ fall. On Sunday, he wasn’t as accurate with approach shots, but made a series of solid lag putts and a couple of clutch par saves over the final nine holes.
The pivotal hole was Oakbourne’s treacherous par-three ninth, where Aydlett held a one-shot lead but dumped his tee shot in the front water of the 140-yard hole. Weber, playing in the final group with Aydlett and Berthelot and coming off a birdie at the par-four eighth that pulled him within one shot, hit his tee ball within 10 feet.
Aydlett went to the drop area and calmly hit a wedge six feet past the hole, making the downhill putt, and only dropped one shot when Weber missed the birdie putt. | 2019-04-19T12:58:45 | https://www.theadvertiser.com/story/sports/2018/06/10/state-amateur-golf-championships-weber-takes-second-behind-aydlett/685913002/ |

Are payday loans better than installment loans for a cash-strapped borrower?
Suppose you’ve just crossed half the month and you’re running out of funds to make ends meet throughout the rest of the month! What are you supposed to do? You might even be hit by some unforeseen bill or some sudden medical expense. Where would you get funds to meet such unavoidable and unpredicted expenses? Don’t you think you would probably need to seek help of some lending institution who could lend you an amount that could bridge the temporary gap?
A payday loan is conducted by some loan agency and most of them are located around various parts of the cities. In fact, the market has seen a soaring number of companies lending fast cash loans or cash advance loans. While there are several online lenders like BC loans which lend online payday loans, there are offline lenders as well. In case of payday loans, the interest rates and fees remain high and there’s no collateral to the loan. The lender’s paycheck acts as the sole security of the cash advance loan and once the lender receives his paycheck, he is expected to repay the loan.
On the other hand, installment loans are short term unsecured loans given to borrowers. Their interest rates are also high enough but not as high as cash advance loans. The repayment term of the loan is usually through a definite amount of time and the borrower can easily pay back in installments.
Which loans should be your best option?
Well, there are indeed too many things to consider before thinking which kind of loan should be the best option for you. Here are few considerations to take into account.
How much funds would you require and for how long time will you need the cash? If the amount is pretty small and time is quick, consider a payday loans. For larger amounts, opt for an installment loan.
What kind of credit rating do you have? If you have a poor and tarnished one, go for payday loans as lenders don’t check your rating. In case you have a good score, get an installment loan.
In what way are you going to repay the loan? If you think you can repay it by once, payday loans are ideal and if you don’t think you can do so, installment loans are better options.
How will both loans impact your score? In case you fail to make payments towards both the loans, it will hurt your score. While repaying your payday loans on time won’t improve your credit score, repaying installment loans on time can benefit your score.
Therefore, depending on the type of financial situation you’re in, you have to choose the right kind of loan. Take into account the above mentioned factors and make an informed and measured decision. | 2019-04-23T08:04:57 | http://www.personalfinanceopinions.com/2017/09/are-payday-loans-better-than-installment-loans.html |

Looking for next career ere in Bangalore!
"Freelance" foreigners in general report it very difficult to obtain any positions here in India. The best option is therefor to approach companies in the US you know iare present in India and hope for an expat position. The pay check and living conditions is also much better this way around than on a local contract. Another way is to start a company in the US and then expand its activities to India.. Personally I gave up searching after a year or so, with not one single interview. Then I started building something up on my own here, but still I met some form of wall towards Indian partners and potential customers. We don't need to discuss this in details in this forum. Today I run a business in my home country from here and though it is not optimal it works so and so.. If any foreigners is here on a local contract (i.e. Applied a position personally here in India) please reply to this post. Many foreigners are looking to extend their stay here, so any help would be much appreciated.

Why first-time authors turn to self-publishing before aiming for traditional publishing?
Many published authors are actually hybrid; working with both traditional and self-publishing industry, and most of them started from being an indie author. So, why self-publish first?
Traditional publishing is not so easy to get into. Your manuscript has to undergo different stages of reviews. Being approved by the initial review doesn’t give a guarantee that it will pass the next through the final publisher’s review. And most often, you get a lot of rejections.
Self-publishing your book gives you an instant chance to get published as soon and as is the way you want for your book. Hybrid authors use this opportunity to entice potential traditional publishers. | 2019-04-23T12:38:49 | http://www.legaiabooks.com/blogs/ufaqs/first-time-authors-turn-self-publishing-aiming-traditional-publishing/ |

Apple Inc. lowered its sales forecast for its fiscal first quarter, a rare revision to its guidance, blaming slowing sales of smartphones and other devices in China. Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said in a letter to investors on Wednesday that the company now predicts revenue of around $84 billion for the quarter ended Dec. 29. Previously the company said revenue would be between $89 billion and $93 billion for the quarter. Analysts surveyed by FactSet forecast more than $91 billion. Mr. Cook said Apple anticipated challenges in key emerging markets, but didn't expect the magnitude of the economic deceleration, especially in China. A contraction in the region's smartphone market was particularly sharp, he said. "Most of our revenue shortfall to our guidance, and over 100% of our year-over-year worldwide revenue decline, occurred in Greater China across iPhone, Mac and iPad," Mr. Cook wrote. "As the climate of mounting uncertainty weighed on financial markets, the effects appeared to reach consumers as well, with traffic to our retail stores and our channel partners in China declining as the quarter progressed," he wrote in the letter.
After falling to an annual low Thursday, the SMI staged a recovery on Friday, the last trading day of the year, rising 2.9 percent to 8,429 points, buoyed by strong US markets. All 20 index components closed up, with price increases ranging from 1.6 percent for Givaudan up to 4.1 percent for UBS.
The Stoxx Europe 600 fell 0.1%, or 0.3 point, to 337.34 as fears about global economic growth hit sentiment after downbeat Chinese manufacturing data. The DAX rose 0.2% but the CAC-40 fell 0.8%. China's Caixin manufacturing PMI came in at 49.7, signalling contraction for the first time in more than a year and a half. The downbeat mood hit shares in auto-makers and miners, with French car-part maker Faurecia off 5.75% and Glencore down 3.3%. The FTSE 100 rose 0.1%.
U.S. stocks swung in trading between small gains and losses intraday in the first session of the year, extending a recent stretch of volatility as anxiety about global growth and interest rates ripples across markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was recently down 25 points, or 0.1%, at 23302, after sliding nearly 400 points to start the day, then rebounding briefly into positive territory. The S&P 500 climbed 0.2%. Both benchmarks trimmed some of their 2018 drops in the final sessions of December but logged their worst year in a decade following a turbulent quarter. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 0.6%. While fears about weak economic growth have swung risky investments in recent months, a resolution in the U.S.-China trade spat could improve the outlook for the global economy, investors say. Tepid economic figures could also give the Federal Reserve more freedom to cool its pace of rate increases, making stocks more attractive.
China's Shanghai and Hong Kong benchmarks both opened lower, by less than 0.5%. Apple suppliers including AAC Tech and Sunny Optical both fall more than 4% in Hong Kong. Elsewhere in Asia, indexes in South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore were also down.
The nearly two-month-long rally in U.S. government bonds continued into the new year intraday, as investors scooped up safer assets in the wake of soft Chinese manufacturing data. In recent trading, the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was 2.665%, according to Tradeweb, compared with 2.684% Monday. U.S. markets were closed Tuesday for the New Year's holiday. Yields, which fall when bond prices rise, declined overnight after the Caixin China manufacturing purchasing managers index fell to 49.7 in December from 50.2 in November. | 2019-04-22T20:12:38 | https://ar.swissquote.com/newsroom/research/morning-news/2019-01-03 |
