In some ways it is surprising that it has taken someone so long to adapt Nelson Mandela’s 1994 autobiography for the big screen. In others, with recent events being what they have been, it just seems right that the movie version, directed by Justin Chadwick (The Other Boleyn Girl), with a screenplay by William Nicholson (Shadowlands, Gladiator), is hitting screens now. With the passing of the South African leader, looking back on the events that transformed him into one of the 20th century’s most indelible and important icons feels essential, a complex man of this magnitude deserving of every bit of examination and appreciation that can be thrown his way.
Yet, even with that being so reviewing Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom is still something of a difficult proposition. It’s impossible to look at the film outside of current events, hard to let it work on its own and not have reactions colored by what has recently transpired. Watching it I admit to having moments of trouble severing my personal opinion and respect for the man from the movie made about the first two-thirds of his life, forcing me to watch it twice in order to make sure my judgments weren’t being clouded by external factors.
What conclusions have I come to in regards to the subsequent motion picture? Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom is a good movie. It is not, sad to say, a great one. And that’s okay, Chadwick and Nicholson putting together a fetching biography that goes from points A to B to C with relative ease. Better, it’s extremely well acted by stars Idris Elba and Naomie Harris, the former dominating with a suitably commanding performance that is as intimately complex as it is suitably larger than life.
The central crux follows Mandela’s (Elba) path from smalltime lawyer, to leader in the African National Congress, to prisoner on Robben Island, to his release 26 years later to see Apartheid end and his own election as South Africa’s Prime Minister. It depicts his first marriage as it comes apart at the seams, his striving for peaceful resistance and his romance and marriage to Winnie Madikizela (Harris) all of which leads to their eventual disagreements on how best to proceed with their political efforts after his release from prison. The film covers as much as it can cram into a 140 or so minutes, emphasizing as many elements of this great man’s life as possible all of which means some of aspects of it can’t help but come up just a tiny bit short. There’s just too much to cover, and as such not every piece is as comforting or as well thought out as I honestly hoped they would be.
Yet film is professionally composed and put together, the Chadwick following a relatively old school template echoing in many ways Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi. But there comes a point where things can feel more like historical Cliff’s Notes than an actual in-depth discussion and dissection of an extremely complicated man’s life and times. Things move from one event to the next with relative matter-of-fact simplicity, the director trying so hard to maintain an observational distance the inherent dramatics of certain situations become sadly muted in the process.
But Elba is so dang good, delivering an effectively nuanced portrait of Mandela that’s spellbinding. He fearlessly doesn’t allow this man to become a saint, making sure to portray his flaws and positive attributes in equal light. This allows him to become more of a titanic heroic figure in the process. There are points where I felt I was really getting to know Mandela in ways I never could have dreamt of beforehand, certain scenes striking me silent with their powerful, emotionally knotty content. Elba handles everything thrown his way magnificently, slipping into the well-known world leader’s skin with fascinating conviction.
The sequences in Robben Island arguably work best, and I loved how Chadwick and Nicholson augment things of apparently little import only to subtly allow them to grow in power and magnitude. The sense of isolation, a feeling of being ripped out of the world and placed in the middle of a corrosive, inhuman desert is uncomfortably realized with fervent sensitivity during this portion, so by the time Mandela’s daughter visits for the first time as a teenager the effect it ended up having upon me was absolutely shattering.
I’m not sure what to add. Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom is a handsome picture, made with obvious care by those both behind and in front of the camera. But it never comes alive with the same fiery, charismatic intensity equal to the figure whose life story it is attempting to tell, and as such I was kept at something of an emotional distance for a substantial portion of the running time. Yet Elba is magnificent, and the power of Mandela’s story is undeniable, and while this biography is not quite what it potentially could have been, what it actually ends up being is thankfully more than enough to satisfy. | 2019-04-22T12:05:58 | http://moviefreak.com/mandela-long-walk-to-freedom-2013-movie-review/ |

The 2nd Original Fairy Door.
The Fireplace was quite the project. My wife has always wanted a fireplace so I spent considerable time planning this one. It is a zero-clearance 99% efficient gas unit , but we wanted the mantel to look traditional. I built a false chimney to help the effect and to minimize the apparent intrusion of the box into the room. These are some of my preparatory sketches. We found 3 art tiles at The Ann Arbor Art Center and the balance of the tiles are porcelain tiles. We used only ONE box and the two scrap pieces turned up as the fairy door stoop!
I made a HUGE mess which lasted for weeks... one of those projects where I got out every tool I own. No sign of any fairies at this point. Yes, that is a real zebra head on the wall. No, I did not kill it. Apparently zebras in Africa are a bit like deer here and occasionaly the herds need thinning.
This is the morning that the girls found the fairy door in the fireplace. Delaney exclaimed' "look! it's their trash day!". Indeed there was a small bag full of sawdust and scraps of weensie molding, tiles and wood just outside their door.
The fairies have taken just as much care in their space. There is a miniature fireplace within. A curving stair leads to a balconey with another door. To the right on the first floor there is a door which leads to a room beyond with a checkered floor. Sometimes there is a light on in the far room.
There is quite a bit to see inside.
The Fireplace is just to the left and back.
It's funny, when I took the picture, I didn't see the pink, blue and green lights. My camera must be outa wack.
We only put up white lights. | 2019-04-18T14:34:56 | http://urban-fairies.com/locationspages/Fireplace.html |

Kitchen is an important place in the house because meals are prepared here and the family gathers around the food to discuss their daily encounters. Kitchen designs should be a mix of aesthetics and functionality. But even if the old design was satisfactory you can always move on for additions or complete renovations to change the look and feel of the kitchen. Such important projects should be handed over to the Best kitchen designers or Kellyville Kitchens.

We employ only the best designers who have years of experience in designing and renovating kitchens according to the client’s requirements.
Our licensed remodelers specialize in changing the existing space to create larger areas.
The best kitchen renovators plan carefully around the sinks, faucets and water pipelines to avoid any kind of damage.
Our experts are aware of the legal issues in construction and building codes along with the latest deigns being worked on.
Provide realistic estimates of the costs involved and find out ways to cap the cost and prevent them from escalating.
Offer detailed timelines so that regular schedules can be adhered to.
Kitchen remodelling is a journey that starts with planning.
The first step is to make a list of the latest trends, ideas, requirements and needs.
The best kitchen renovators are here for the discussion sessions so that the style, functionality and measurements can be taken.
Draw an estimated cost of the entire project.

We celebrate each student’s individuality and creative flair, which is why students on these courses don’t produce the same pieces. Instead, they get to choose exactly what they want to work on.
In our one-week course, we invite you to ‘bring your own project’. You pick the piece of furniture and the fabrics you love, and we’ll provide you with the tools and knowledge to create your dream piece. Our students go home having crafted something they can be proud of, which will last for generations to come.
Our one-week intensive course is suitable for all levels of experience. Our class sizes are small (a maximum of five students per class), so you’ll receive plenty of time with our proficient tutor to develop your skills and know-how.
Our tutors will guide you through every aspect of your personal project, giving you the skills that form the foundations of upholstery. So, not only will you leave us with a beautiful new piece of furniture for your home or portfolio, you’ll also have the necessary skills to continue your craft at home.
But beware! Upholstery is an addictive hobby. Once family and friends see the wonderful things you can do, you’ll have an endless amount of projects!
We’re very flexible with what you can bring with you to our one-week course. For this course, you can bring a traditionally upholstered or modern project. The choice is entirely yours.
We suggest you bring a sprung dining chair with a picture back for a traditional piece or a small fireside chair without arms for a modern project.
But don’t worry, if you have something specific in mind then just let us know. Contact us on via email on [email protected] and feel free to send us pictures of the piece if you wish. Alternatively, give us a call on 01539 592786 and we can advise whether your piece is suitable.
The course runs Mon-Thurs from 9am-5pm. The maximum class size for each course is six, making it the perfect activity to do with friends.
To book, just click here, and choose the week that suits you best from the dates available. Remember to select which course you wish to do.
New dates are added regularly but if you have a particular time in mind, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
What if I don’t have a piece of furniture?
We can help you source a particular piece of furniture. We also offer fabric to our students at a 10% discount from the retail price. | 2019-04-18T22:54:42 | https://oxfordschoolofupholstery.com/upholstery-foundation-course/ |
He has undergone surgeries on his wrist, elbow and hip, each costing him countless games and untold momentum. So the sport can be as painful as it can be pleasurable, and it can make a 21-year-old feel a great deal older.
The worst injury was fixing a hip ailment in late 2016. His back hurt, his legs, too, all tied to that hip and overcompensating. It was painful getting up in the morning, or climbing out of a car. Normal tasks became a challenge and a chore.
“It was some weird stuff, painful,” Green said. “Here I was 20, 21 years old, and I couldn’t move. I thought, ‘What’s going on?’ There were times I’d text the manager (of the team) and tell him I’d be a complete liability out there today.
Green has looked the part of a healthy prospect at 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, one eager for his first call-up to the big leagues. He had two home runs in a 10-3 win over Tacoma at Raley Field on Sunday. He’s batting .389 entering Tuesday’s game in Las Vegas.
Green was hitting .500 after four games, then was reminded of the stark reality of the game, striking out three times Monday in an 11-10 win, 10-inning over Tacoma that gave Sacramento a 4-1 record after the season-opening series.
But Green isn’t complaining. Strikeouts are as much a part of this game as home runs.
First-year River Cats manager Dave Brundage has history with Green from their time in the Phillies organization. Brundage and many baseball people understand that, when healthy, Green can boost an offense. He has clubbed 66 home runs and driven in 281 runs in 503 minor-league games.
Green elected for free agency in November and was signed by the Giants in January.
“Zach was a big signing for San Francisco,” Brundage said. “I like how athletic he is, his size, his versatility in being able to play first or third. Now it’s refining things. His bat will do the talking. He has tremendous power.
Green is ecstatic to play at Raley Field, a venue he grew up admiring. He attended River Cats games as a lad, and he played there twice while at Jesuit. His parents, Kim and Jesse, are now regulars at River Cats games, eyes set on No. 12, as are scores of friends and former youth and high school coaches.
Patience is another part of this game, and that’s not always easy for the uber-competitive.
“This game doesn’t owe you anything,” Green said of the baseball business in general. “It’s so hard to break through (to the big leagues). I’ve never been up there. A lot of guys in this clubhouse have been. It’s a big year for a lot of us. We’re all here to show what we can do. It’s important not to lose site of that. | 2019-04-18T13:18:36 | https://www.sacbee.com/sports/article229026184.html |
The J. M. Smucker Company announced it has completed the acquisition of Ainsworth Pet Nutrition, LLC in a transaction valued at approximately $1.7 billion, after an estimated tax benefit of $200 million. The company previously announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Ainsworth in April.
Ainsworth is a leading producer, distributor, and marketer of premium pet food and pet snacks, predominately within the United States. Approximately two-thirds of Ainsworth's sales are generated by the Rachael Ray Nutrish brand, which is driving significant growth in the premium pet food category.
"We are excited to have completed this transaction, which increases the scale and further accelerates the growth profile of our pet food and pet snacks business," said Mark Smucker, CEO. "The Ainsworth team has done a tremendous job growing this business, building Rachael Ray Nutrish into one of the most recognizable premium pet food brands in the United States. We are pleased to welcome the Ainsworth employees into the Smucker family and look forward to working with this talented team as we continue to grow our pet food business together."
As previously announced, in connection with the closing of the transaction, Jeff Watters, who served as the president and CEO of Ainsworth, has joined Smucker, assuming the role of senior vice president and general manager, Ainsworth. In this role, Watters will support the integration of Ainsworth into Smucker's pet food business as a key member of the pet leadership team.
Smuckers funded the acquisition through the combination of a $1.5 billion term loan and borrowings under the Company's commercial paper program. | 2019-04-21T12:17:36 | http://ohioagconnection.com/story-state.php?Id=512&yr=2018 |
Given the rich diversity of California’s residents, local officials increasingly seek strategies to fully involve people from many different cultures in their communities. Interviews in three previous issues of Western City explored effective strategies to involve Asian, Pacific Islander, Latino and African-American residents in the civic and political life of their cities. In this article, Mayor Jeffrey Prang of West Hollywood, Vice Mayor Ellen Ward of Signal Hill and Mayor Pro Tem Kevin Dowling of Hayward discuss how cities can better engage and serve their gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) populations. Terry Amsler, program director of the Institute for Local Government’s Collaborative Governance Initiative, and Jude Hudson, Western City editor-in-chief, conducted the interview.
What can cities do to support the involvement of GLBT residents in the civic and political life of their communities, and how are cities doing in this regard?
Jeffrey Prang: GLBT people are the brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, neighbors and co-workers of every resident in our cities. As city officials, we need to support the involvement of GLBT residents into civic and political life for the same reasons that we engage the community at large. Moreover, as a community, we are each enriched by the diversity and unique perspectives shared by GLBT citizens, and I expect that cities throughout America are coming to that realization. That being said, we have a long way to go toward full inclusion and participation of GLBT people in local government.
Kevin Dowling: Local officials should recognize that in many — if not most — cities, GLBT residents are invisible to local officials and others. People may gather elsewhere, some individuals may not be “out” and there may not be local organizations ready to step up and represent GLBT communities. While this presents challenges, local officials should remember that their constituents do include GLBT residents. The more that a city hall presents a welcoming atmosphere to these residents, the greater the potential there will be for their participation in local civic and political affairs.
Ellen Ward: The City of Signal Hill is such a small community that its local officials have an advantage — we all know people who are part of the GLBT community. In addition, several local groups, including Friends of the Cultural Arts, Friends of the Library and Friends of Parks and Recreation, have representatives from throughout the community. We personally contact people and get GLBT representatives on most of our commissions.
Can you suggest any specific strategies that local governments should consider when seeking to engage GLBT residents?
Kevin Dowling: The GLBT residents of many communities (especially smaller ones), may participate in organizations, festivals, fairs, parades and other activities in neighboring cities in the region. Consider outreach at these events and through these organizations, because your residents may be among the participants. You can also encourage GLBT residents to organize pride-related events in your own city. Support the recognition of this community’s history and their contributions, and this will encourage their involvement in your city’s affairs. Of course, the appointment of GLBT residents to city committees and commissions can be a powerful message to encourage more involvement from this community.
Jeffrey Prang: West Hollywood has been successfully organizing the GLBT community in civic participation since the formation of the city in the early 1980s. Considering that our city council has a gay majority, communicating to GLBT residents that their elected officials care about them and their issues and share a concern for the well-being of the community has been extremely important in supporting civic engagement.
All too often, some of the most important outreach in the GLBT community has been in response to crises, such as the AIDS epidemic. We have successfully organized GLBT forums for those living with HIV, and we confront these issues through a direct and open exchange of ideas, information and experiences. Critical dialogue between city governments and GLBT residents should be ongoing and public, whether that community building takes the form of GLBT pride parades, town hall meetings or public comment at city council meetings. When people know that they are genuinely respected and valued, civic participation goes through the roof.
Ellen Ward: I would recommend contacting the leadership of local groups and organizations, including centers for gays and lesbians and gay churches, to issue a personal invitation to participate in an event or activity. The leaders can get in touch with the people you need to reach.
Are there relevant historical or other factors that local officials should be aware of when seeking to engage GLBT residents?
Kevin Dowling: Prejudice certainly continues to be an issue, and the battles fought by the GLBT community to marry, serve openly in the military, give blood and enter the country on an equal basis with others contributes to the perception that they are not welcome members of the larger community.
Jeffrey Prang: For centuries, gay and lesbian people have been discriminated against and often persecuted. Today, different but no less pernicious vestiges of that sad legacy still exist. I believe that above all else, GLBT people seek dignity and equal recognition — regardless of their sexual orientation — in civic participation. The identification of members of the GLBT community as tokens of the “open-mindedness” of otherwise non-welcoming environments is not representation at all. GLBT people have struggled from time immemorial to reconcile their historic civic contributions and the ire of a community that would not accept the whole of their identity. I believe that GLBT residents stand to continue making tremendous contributions to their communities, as long as civic leaders reach out in an open and honest manner.
Ellen Ward: Discrimination remains an issue, but it’s not as bad as it used to be. There are people who in their professional positions still have to be guarded about their sexual orientation. Having GLBT participation in city organizations certainly helps to counter that situation.
Are there intermediary organizations that local governments should communicate or partner with to more effectively reach out to and engage GLBT communities?
Jeffrey Prang: The reach of digital media has made engaging with the GLBT community a few short mouse-clicks away. Numerous print publications have long served as forums for education on issues of significance to the gay community. Local community centers, service agencies and local programming are fundamental in building a sense of belonging and solidarity for GLBT people, creating spaces where they know that they will not be questioned or marginalized. GLBT advocacy and political associations also play an important role in identifying and cultivating leaders in our community.
Kevin Dowling: Certainly community centers, nonprofit leadership and advocacy groups and GLBT media can be partners in engagement efforts. In some communities there are welcoming churches, such as the Metropolitan Community Church, that can be conduits for information and outreach as well. Again, you may find GLBT organizations in neighboring cities that attract your residents’ participation and through which you may communicate.
Ellen Ward: Churches are a good conduit for outreach, as are publications serving the GLBT communities. Because there are so many of these print publications, it’s a good idea to contact the gay and lesbian centers to find out which ones are read most so that outreach efforts through GLBT print media are as effective as possible. Otherwise, you may be spinning your wheels. In a large community, set up quarterly or regular meetings, and develop an advisory group that can help reach the larger GLBT community.
Kevin Dowling: We as local officials must engage the full community if the problems we face, from local environmental issues to budget challenges, are going to be successfully addressed. This requires reaching out beyond those who are usually involved and in ways that aren’t limited to the typical newspaper notice and a listing on our city website. As a part of this larger strategy, council members, city managers and other staff can increase their awareness of GLBT communities and speak to them directly about the importance of their participation.
Jeffrey Prang: Regrettably, many GLBT residents do not see their interests and priorities represented in their respective city governments, leaving them feeling devalued and shut out. We cannot ignore that although things are improving, bigotry and homophobia still exist and still pose significant barriers to the advancement of the GLBT community in the workplace and in the public decision-making process. We will all be better off when it’s recognized that the addition of diversity and experiences embodied in GLBT communities is an enrichment — not a diminution — of the civic discourse. However, I am increasingly confident that Californians and the American people continue to demonstrate more and more their fundamental belief in fairness and inclusion for all people, no matter their status.
Ellen Ward: Remember that the GLBT community spans a broad range of incomes, beliefs and professions. This can make it challenging to reach. If you’re holding a big event in a large city, advertise in a widely read GLBT publication to make it clear to the community that its members are welcome. Establishing a GLBT advisory committee to help with outreach is always a good idea. | 2019-04-20T23:27:09 | http://www.westerncity.com/article/reaching-out-gay-lesbian-bisexual-and-transgender-residents |

Dr. Beriah Frazier was Chattanooga's second mayor, though he later moved away to a farm near Knoxville. His nephew, Samuel Joseph Abner Frazier, had interesting experiences here during the Civil War and later returned to help develop North Chattanooga into a thriving suburb. Another kinsman was James Beriah Frazier, a Chattanooga lawyer who became a governor and U.S. senator.
The Fraziers traced back to Samuel Frazier, who was of Scotch descent though his family was in France when he was born in 1749. This Quaker family made its way to North Carolina, where Samuel Frazier in 1771 married Rebecca Julian. She was "a Huguenot of great beauty and culture." She was from Guilford County, N.C.
end of the Revolution, he moved his family to the lands available to veterans in western North Carolina (the later Tennessee). He settled in the section that became Greene County. Samuel Frazier helped organize the New Hope Meeting in Greene County in 1795. The Fraziers had arrived at Greene County about 1789 and they moved on to Knox County soon after 1800. Samuel Frazier was a delegate to the state constitutional convention in 1796 when Tennessee gained statehood. He was later a state senator representing Greene County. Samuel Frazier died in 1839 when he was 90. His wife had died the previous year -also at the age of 90.
Samuel and Rebecca Frazier had seven children, including Abner, Samuel Jr., Beriah, Rebecca, Julian, Thomas and Barbara White. Abner married Mary Edmondson, and their children included Beriah Frazier, who was named for his uncle when he was born in 1814 in Greene County. He studied at Greeneville College, then at the Philadelphia College of Medicine.
married at Knoxville in 1841. Dr. Frazier was mayor at the time, after first serving as alderman. He is said to be the only Chattanooga mayor to have married during his term of office. Dr. Frazier was an elder in the city's Presbyterian church and he was junior warden of Chattanooga's first Masonic lodge. But he decided to move to Knoxville, and he was living there at a farm on Beaver Creek at the time of the Civil War. Dr. Frazier was a delegate from Knox County to the East Tennessee Union Convention that met in Knoxville in May of 1861. Just after the war, the Unionist was a state senator from Knox County. He was later a trustee of East Tennessee University (University of Tennessee) and was president of the Tazewell Pike Company. He had partially completed a history of the Civil War at the time of his death in 1886. Cynthia Mynatt Frazier died in 1880. Dr. Frazier had no children.
Rebecca Frazier Moore, a first cousin of Dr. Frazier, settled at Chattanooga with her husband, Thomas Antipass Moore. The Moores had a farm on the side of Missionary Ridge. Rebecca Frazier Moore was a daughter of the elder Beriah Frazier and his wife, Barbara Gibbs. The first wife of Beriah Frazier was Annie Reece, whom he married in 1795. Their children included Samuel, who was born in 1796 and married Pacify Tinsey Gibbs. A son, Julian, was born in 1798 but died the following year. A daughter, Mary Ann, was born in 1801. She married William Moore and then the Rev. William Gannaway. Beriah Frazier's marriage to Barbara Gibbs was in 1806. She was born in 1789 in Orange County, N.C. Beriah and Barbara Gibbs Frazier lived in Knox County until 1818, when they moved to a 500-acre farm at Frazier Bend of the Tennessee River in Rhea County. It was about eight miles south of Old Washington. Here they reared their 11 children. They were George Washington who lived from 1807 to 1830 and did not marry, Rebecca who lived from 1808 to 1883 and married Thomas Antipass Moore, Paulina who lived from 1810 to 1858 and married Richard R. Gist, Nicholas Gibbs who lived from 1812 to 1850 and married Hannah Minerva McKamey, Ann who lived from 1814 to 1895 and married Valentine Allen, Sarah Jane who lived from 1814 to 1895 and married Jacob Harvey Love and then Joseph E. Parks, J. Emily who lived from 1819 to 1852 and married Hercules Whaley, Abner White who lived from 1821 to 1893 and married Mary Craighead, Maria Louisa who lived from 1824 to 1893 and did not marry, Barbara Sophia who lived from 1826 to 1857 and married John L. Ramsey, and Beriah Jr. who lived from 1832 to 1858 and married Louisa Ella Lillard.

County, but he found himself in Chattanooga in the midst of the war turmoil in 1863. As the Federal army was approaching the town, Frazier helped set up Confederate pickets at the foot of Lookout Mountain. He was inside the Presbyterian church with his cousin, Beriah Frazier Moore, when a shell hit the top of the church on Aug. 21. Due to an injury, he stayed some weeks at the home of the Rev. T.H. McCallie. Milo Smith and P.D. Sims helped treat a dangerous wound to his windpipe by passing a silk handkerchief through it and removing the clotted blood. Beriah Frazier Moore was killed during the battle of Missionary Ridge not far from the doorway of his home. His brother, Nicholas Gibbs Moore, was badly wounded.
After the war, S.J.A. Frazier first lived at Old Washington in Rhea County. He was chosen attorney general - the same position his father had held. In 1871, he married Ann Elizabeth Keith, a granddaughter of Judge Charles Fleming Keith of Athens, Tenn. Her parents were Col. Alexander Hume Keith and Sarah Ann Foree Keith. S.J.A. Frazier decided to purchase a large tract at the old Cowart farm across the river from Chattanooga. The North Chattanooga hills were still mostly in timber at that time. In 1882, Frazier began to lay out the "Hill City" suburb. The Fraziers moved into the old Cowart home, "The Cedars." The street that went in front of The Cedars was named Frazier Avenue. The Cedars survived until a fire on March 13, 1923, destroyed all but the four chimneys. Another street in the suburb took the name of Dr. R.W. Colville, a Frazier associate from Rhea County who joined in the project.
was a brother of Dr. Beriah Frazier and of Samuel Frazier of Rhea County. He had been an attorney at Old Washington, then clerk and master of Bledsoe County. He practiced law at Pikeville and became a circuit judge in 1861. On the Union side during the war, he later was a criminal court judge at Nashville. J.B. Frazier joined in a law partnership with Lewis Shepherd, who was married to one of Frazier's cousins. The Chattanooga lawyer became Tennessee governor in 1903 and he later was named to the U.S. Senate. He also married into the Keith family of Athens. His marriage to Louise Douglas Keith took place in 1883. She was a sister of the wife of S.J.A. Frazier.
James Beriah Frazier Jr. was a longtime Third District congressman. He succeeded Estes Kefauver and was in turn succeeded by Bill Brock. Earlier he had served for 16 years as U.S. attorney for East Tennessee. He married Elizabeth Hope. Their daughter, Elizabeth, married attorney Thomas McCallie III, a descendant of the minister who helped save the life of S.J.A. Frazier during the Civil War.
Two of S.J.A. Frazier's children were in the state House of Representatives. They were Alexander F. Frazier and Sarah Ruth Frazier. Neither ever married. Sarah Ruth Frazier was a leader in the fight for the right of women to vote and she was a talented writer. Very active in Confederate veteran reunions, she was buried in Chattanooga's Confederate Cemetery. | 2019-04-25T08:29:38 | https://www.chattanoogan.com/2002/5/13/21797/Fraziers-Date-Back-To-City-s-Earliest.aspx |

Under the nuclear agreement, Tehran has been allowed to convert heavy 'dumb' rockets into precision-guided RAAD missiles, which the IDF believes will be delivered to its Shiite proxies in Syria, namely Hezbollah.
The Iranians have been able to reach a breakthrough in converting heavy "dumb" rockets—some old and containing hundreds of kilograms of explosives—into precision-guided missiles. These GPS-guided missiles will serve as an alternative to the inertial navigation rockets that lose of their accuracy the further they fly.
For the sake of comparison, with the rockets Hezbollah currently has in its arsenal, the terror group would have to fire a barrage of dozens of projectiles towards central Israel to increase the chances of hitting the the Kirya IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv. But only one accurate missile—assuming it is not intercepted—would be needed to achieve the same objective.

What is happening to my hair?
See my new header? That is my neighbor’s pine tree. It is right on the edge of his yard, by ours. There are actually two of them. I hope they never cut them down. They were so beautiful today, with all the frost on them.
Tonight is the end of my little “stay-cation”. It’s back to work time. I’d love to have one more week to stay home and quilt. It’s been a nice break, but not the best vacation, as I had a couple of bad headaches, that lasted two days each. And, I’ve just been really achy. More so than usual. Not just in my shoulder, but my spine, my right arm, my feet, my hips, across both shoulders. Really achy. My bones are not happy for some reason. Maybe just the weather.
I did make four more pillowcases yesterday. This time, I did not add the trim, as I realized how much pressing the trim needed after I washed it. Since these are donation cases for pediatric cancer patients, I would think less ironing would be more desirable.
I have one border to add to the Oklahoma Backroads quilt I am making for Mom. I also made the backing for my remaining 9P & stripe quilt, and need to finalize a quilting plan in my mind. I’m trying very hard not to start anything new just yet, and get some thing finished. I would like a longer finished list in 2010 than I had in 2009.
Hope you have a great week and find time to do something you love! | 2019-04-21T05:09:13 | https://wildrosequilter.com/2010/01/03/ |

Caffeine is a well-known psychoactive substance, which can stimulate central nervous system (CNS). As soon as it goes inside the body, it elevates the blood pressure as well as the heart rate. This in turn, boosts the level of energy and betters the mood.
It functions instantly and most people experience its effects in a couple of minutes. The caffeine shows its effects until it is completely metabolized by the body, and the duration of metabolism varies from person to person.
Moreover, caffeine can act differently in different people and in some, its effects may last for a really long period. Pregnant women or the ones, who are suffering from sleep problems, must take care of their timing of caffeine consumtption. Undoubtedly, it is always a better option for such people to totally avoid its intake.
The half-life of caffeine, or the time taken by the body to reduce the consumed caffeine to half, is roughly 5 hours. This means, if someone has taken 50 mg of caffeine, only 25 mg would remain after 5 hours of consumption.
When Exactly Does Caffeine Show its Maximum Effects?
Generally, after 15 to 45 minutes after its consumption, caffeine levels surges in the bloodstream. Thereafter, the liver immediately metabolizes it. This is exactly the time when most people observe its maximum effects with some even experiencing the urge to pee, uneasiness and abrupt rush of energy. However, such symptoms gradually go away once the caffeine metabolization begins.
Is It Possible to Develop Caffeine Tolerance?
Yes, quite possible; just like any other drug! And, for this reason, regular consumers of caffeine hardly observe its effects. Nevertheless, the effect may last for hours or even as late as the next day in highly sensitive people.
Up to What Time Caffeine’s Effects Last?
Truly speaking, this can’t be defined. The duration for which the effect would persist depends on the quantity of consumption and individual factors like body weight, age and sensitivity to caffeine.
Beverages like black, white and green tea, soft drinks, energy drinks and coffee-based drinks, including lattes, cappuccinos and espressos have caffeine, whereas chocolates, mocha/coffee ice-creams, energy or protein bars and before-workout shakes and drinks are to name a few food items that contain caffeine.
One thing to be noted here is many decaffeinated drinks also contain at least some amount of caffeine, so those, who are highly sensitive to it, must avoid them. Likewise, over-the-counter drugs for migraine headache and weight-loss pills do have some amounts of caffeine in them; hence, must be bought after properly reading the labels.
Owing to the risk that it may pose to the health of the child and mother, it is generally recommended not to consume caffeine during pregnancy. Although the effects go away with the childbirth, it may still be risky for the infant.
This is because trace amounts of caffeine can be passed on to the child along with the milk from the lactating mother. Thus, nursing mothers are advised to limit their caffeine consumption prior to breastfeeding their child.
However, many babies, older than 3 months, can tolerate smaller amounts of this psychoactive compound. This has been proved by a study that showed that there is no significant effects of caffeine intake by breastfeeding mothers on sleep behavior of babies older than 4 months.
However, in larger amounts, caffeine may induce irritability and fuss in babies. Additionally, it may alter the sleep patterns in infants along with other negative outcomes. While a doctor can be consulted in this regard, a gap of 1 to 2 hours is recommended between caffeine consumption and breastfeeding.
Interestingly, it takes almost a complete day for the effects of caffeine to go away. It remains inside the body and can be responsible for several inconspicuous symptoms that may show up long after the disappearance of its visible effects.
Apart from disrupting the sleep patterns, caffeine may hamper the sleep quality as well; but, that totally depends on its dosage and individual sensitivity. For many adults, daily consumption of 200 to 300 mg of this drug can be safe, but further increasing the amount may result in sleep problems.
How to Handle Caffeine-Induced Sleep Disruption?
If you feel that that your caffeine consumption is possibly responsible for those sleepless nights or causing insomnia, then the intake should be decreased till the time you figure out the right amount.
Relaxation techniques such as yoga or breathing exercises just before going to bed can be helpful. Caffeine can surely assist you in remaining awake, but at the same time, it may cover up some hidden sleep disorders. It is quite possible that some people, who are daily taking coffee to break their morning drowsiness, might be unintentionally avoiding their sleep issues.
The symptoms usually go away on their own after a few days or if a person starts taking caffeine again.
Unless a person is super-sensitive or has consumed it in really high amounts, caffeine effects usually last only for a couple of hours. It can stay inside the body and show up symptoms like sleep disturbances even after the disappearance of observable signs.
Nursing mothers should consume caffeine an hour or two before breastfeeding the child and must limit their caffeine consumption in general.
If someone is struggling with sleep issues, he/she must avoid blaming caffeine and visit a doctor to discuss the condition.
Undeniably, looking out for natural ways of boosting energy levels is always a great idea. | 2019-04-21T00:11:00 | https://zovon.com/popular-topics/quick-guide-caffeine-consumption/ |
Be in charge of your own enjoyment. Pick the right games to play in by reading the whole blurb, not just looking at the titles.
Introduce yourself to the GM and the other players before the game starts.
Be present during the game. Put the distractions away. Make eye contact. Be ready when your turn comes.
Select a character you’re interested in playing. Ask the GM for clarification on any details you don’t understand and ask to change any aspects of that character you are uninterested or uncomfortable in portraying.
Get involved in the story. Find or make reasons for your character to interact with the other players and the GM. Give them something to work with in crafting their own portrayals.
Share the spotlight. Do heroic things with, and not to the exclusion of, the other players.
You don’t have to be a master of the rules and mechanics to fully contribute to the game. Describe what you want to attempt and let the GM help you make and interpret the correct rolls.
Buy into the story. Note the mood, setting, and genre. Cracking out of character jokes might be fine in a pulp game but can easily ruin a horror game. Don’t derail a planned adventure without trying to work within the framework first; most convention games won’t be as free form or sandbox as a home game.
Interact in character. Speak, strategize and negotiate with the other players and the NPCs as your character not just as a player.
Use those Bennies! They allow you to try more difficult maneuvers, do multiple actions and take risks. But don’t be afraid to fail, sometimes these are the most memorable and fun part of the story. | 2019-04-19T04:26:31 | https://www.peginc.com/conventions/tips-for-players-at-convention-games/ |

Tiger Strikes Asteroid in Philadelphia is a generous, artist-run/artist-curated exhibition space that connects the Philadelphia art scene to the the rest of the art world by showing the work of Philadelphia artists alongside work by artists from other towns–i.e. New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. This month, TSA presents paintings by out-of-towner Clint Jukkala and drawings by local artist Mia Rosenthal. Here’s an excerpt from the essay TSA co-founder Timothy Gierschick wrote for the show.
“For Mia Rosenthal, her straightforwardly sweet simulacrums of sent and received postcards impart a secondary, more spiritually acute layer to an already powerful metaphor for those places we cannot go, cannot be, or are not – as well as those people who inhabit them, or are passing through before us. On the uncomfortable cusp of welcoming a new life – her child – Rosenthal found comfort in celebrating one recently-departed life, that of her uncle’s, by painstakingly reinterpreting the talisman of shared postcards – those small purchased icons of travel and exoticism; the skimmed-off leftovers of a life’s memory. The drawings’ mostly hatched and linear interpretation extend the sense of improbability and distance – while preserving the warmth….
“Clint Jukkala previously worked more with the positive – shakily digital renderings of top-heavy bouquet forms; or slowly branching, slow-motion fireworks. Recently though, Jukkala’s bouquets have dissipated and migrated to the edges, and suggest portals, or doorways; the promising rainbows building, enveloping and bordering, rather than blossoming or branching into bouquet or fountain forms. His bright lines quiver and undulate ever so slightly, but always manage to click into appropriate positions in time to allow us egress.
Mia Rosenthal lives in South Philadelphia, PA, and teaches at the University of the Arts. Clint Jukkala lives in New Haven, CT, and is an assistant professor of painting/printmaking and Director of Undergraduate Studies in Art at Yale University.

People with bad credit think that they do not qualify for good credit offers. It may be possible that they may have tried to get credit from a few lenders but when they failed to get them. Secured cards are quite suited for people with bad credit.
For secured card, one has to submit a security deposit, which guarantees you a line of credit for that amount. For instance, if you require a $700 line of credit, you have to deposit $7000 with the issuer, which immunizes your account. Since there is no much risk here for the card issues, there is more chance of the approving applications for people with bad credit or no credit.
You can use this secured card to make transactions, build credit like every other cardholder. This is in fact, a good opportunity for people to use the secured card wisely, restore and build credit. When you close the account, the security deposit is refunded sometimes with interest.
1. Capital One Secure MasterCard – The card has a low annual fee of $29 and can help people with bad credit come up in a big manner. Though most secured cards offer spending limit equivalent to the amount you deposit, this card is a hybrid between a regular credit card and secured card. This is preferred as one of the best choices for people to get back into the traditional system of credit. You have to put $49 and can get a credit line of $200. By depositing money like $200, you can actually increase the credit line to $3000. Capital One also ensures that one you have been able to improve your credit score, you will get preference to avail of one of its unsecured credit cards.
2.Wells Fargo Secured Visa – You can apply for this card only if you have been out of bankruptcy for one year and there are no liens unsettled against you. Your security deposit between $300 and $10,000 can set the credit limit. There is a $35 annual fee.
3.Orchard Bank Classic Card – HSBC’s subsidiary Orchard Bank says that all applicants who give a security deposit will be approved irrespective of credit score being dismal or if you have declared bankruptcy. There is a $200 minimum security deposit, with no annual fee for the first year and then $35 annual fee from the second year.
4.U.S. Bank Secured VISA – This bank diverts your security deposit into an interest-savings account with a $35 annual fee.
Getting small installment loans like an auto loan or a small personal loan (best from a credit union, or bank) to the tune of $1000 which you can pay back on time, can help rebuild your credit. Though you will have to cough up a higher interest rate, the fact that you have an active installment account on your credit report can boost your score. Also don’t close your credit account because they may hurt your score. Most importantly, pay your bill on time, all the time because skipped payments can only ruin all the good work you have done. | 2019-04-26T06:48:13 | https://balancetransferpromotions.net/2012/10/ |
Every year, since I was a little girl, I’ve made Merry Christmas Cookies. You roll them out, bake them, and decorate them with frosting and hand-tinted sugar and sprinkles. Flavored with honey, they’re a unique little cookie that is the essence of the holidays for me. In high school, I’d invite friends over to help me decorate, sharing the tradition….
I’m going to Outside Lands this year, and I have to admit, I was a little concerned about how much there would be for me to eat, as a gluten-intolerant attendee. Was I going to need to bring in a backpack full of gluten-free breakfast bars to make it through the day? Turns out I should have had more faith in my city, San Francisco, and our gluten-free food friendliness…. | 2019-04-24T10:19:52 | https://erikasglutenfreekitchen.com/page/23/ |
Kacie Harlan reports on the organizing for a day of action around public transit issues.
JUST OVER 62 years ago, Rosa Parks defied Jim Crow segregation that consigned Black passengers to sit in the back of the bus. Her act of resistance spurred the African American community to organize the 381-day-long Montgomery Bus Boycott, one of the most important events of the civil rights movement.
Half a century later, Park's civil disobedience has inspired a national coalition of labor, civil rights and environmental groups to organize Transit Equity Day.
According to the Labor Network for Sustainability, Transit Equity Day "is a collaborative effort of several organizations and unions to promote public transit as a civil right and a strategy to combat climate change." The coalition chose Parks' birthday of February 4 for the day of action, but observed it on February 5 this year since it was a weekday.
While the coalition is small and the day of action made few headlines, Transit Equity Day is a good first step toward a badly needed public transit movement in the U.S.
LOCAL ADVOCACY groups such as Pittsburghers for Public Transit and OPAL Environmental Justice Portland have been organizing around transit for years, but this year was the first time a national coalition formed to organize a day of action.
It was also the first time organizations representing labor, civil rights and climate change struggles--including the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU), the Sierra Club and the NAACP, among others-- worked together on this issue, sponsoring or endorsing the event.
-- Transportation Justice: Every person in every neighborhood...should have the right to safe, convenient transportation at an affordable cost.
Workers Justice: Transportation workers have the right to safe, decent working conditions, family-supporting incomes, and union representation.
Community Justice: Communities have the right to a just transit system that provides fair access to jobs and amenities.
Climate Justice: Communities are being affected by climate change and have the right to have transit vehicles that use clean, renewable energy.
There were actions of various sizes in 15 cities, each one planned by local organizations that are part of the national coalition. Two virtual town halls allowed organizers to come together via webcam and discuss their local issues and the actions they were planning.
In Nashville, the ATU and Music City Riders United organized around transit safety and workforce training for operators. In Denver, Mile High Connects, United for a New Economy, 9to5 Colorado the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition, and the Montbello Organizing Committee called for a "vendor credit reduction" to fund an income-based transit pass.
THE NEED for a grassroots public transit movement is urgent. Like other public services, transit has been a victim of neoliberalism. Many agencies have been woefully underfunded for decades, leading to poor service delivery, service cuts, maintenance backlogs and fare increases.
The austerity drive has also left agencies using ancient, polluting technologies that contribute to climate change. Public agencies like Amtrak are going without new safety technology, such as positive train control, which could be preventing deadly accidents--in the past two months, there have been three fatal crashes in Washington State, Virginia and South Carolina that all could have been avoided.
Due to lack of regulations, public transit is also facing increasing competition from transportation network companies (TNCs) that are starting to mimic transit service, such as Lyft Line.
Politicians refuse to fund public transit at a level where it can compete with these companies, so the public system is losing ridership to them. Capitalist would love for nonunion TNCs to replace public transit.
At the same time, there are also many areas that are still not served by public transit, despite experience population growth--what are called transit deserts. When local governments finally do build transit, they opt for modes that serve developers more than passengers, like streetcars.
The people who pay the price for all of this are disproportionately low-income workers, including many people of color. Meanwhile, transit operators work in increasingly unsafe conditions--something dramatized by a near-walkout by ATU members over safety issues in the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.
While all the problems of public transportation have been present for some time, they are likely to get worse during the Trump administration--particularly as a consequence of the White House proposal on infrastructure. As Neil Loehein wrote at SocialistWorker.org, "Everything about Trump's [infrastructure] proposal is structured to create maximum gain and minimal risk for private investors and corporate construction giants, while doing precious little to make sure what gets built is what's actually needed."
Since transit isn't profitable--hence why it was taken over in the public domainby the mid-20th century--it's likely the White House won't prioritize transit projects.
Some commentators are speculating that the Trump administration will enforce new funding requirements for transit projects, such as special tax districts that deprive local tax revenue from cities. There is also talk of taking funding from the federal transit budget to fund highway projects.
Given the urgency of the need, it was refreshing to see a new coalition form to defend public transit and make connections among organizations dedicated to labor, civil rights and climate justice.
A new measure in New York City to reduce fares for some low-income riders is welcome — but we need to think much bigger.
Andrew Cuomo’s patch-up job that avoids shutting down New York City’s L train is only a solution for him and his developer donors.
The starving of the transit system in the richest city in the world is as an indictment of a greedy and shortsighted ruling class.
A series of derailments and track fires have raised urgent questions about the safety of the New York City subway system for riders and workers alike.
Decades of neglect to New York City's infrastructure have made just trying to get to work each day intolerable for millions. | 2019-04-18T22:18:20 | http://socialistworker.org/2018/02/13/a-national-coalition-demands-transit-justice |
The Tollcross International Swimming Centre in Glasgow has been extensively refurbished in preparation for the Commonwealth Games 2014. The existing 50 metre pool has ten lanes and a new 50 metre six-lane warm-up and training pool has been added with new fitness suites, an extension of the changing rooms, improvements to the café, further seating and a general refurbishment of the existing facilities. These improvements will not only provide suitable facilities for the Games but also for future major international swimming competitions as well as providing an excellent permanent recreational and sporting facility for local residents. The project was funded by Glasgow City Council (£13.15 million) and sportscotland (£650,000), works commenced in May 2011 and the new centre was opened in May 2013.

A conventional slow left-armer, Hedley Howarth and his excellent control and craft flight meant that for some time he was New Zealand's leading slow bowler. He was steady rather than spectacular - he only took five wickets in an innings twice, both in the subcontinent in 1969-70 - and was often used in long spells to stem the flow of runs. At Lord's in 1973, when New Zealand had a real chance of beating England, he sent down 70 overs in the second innings, finishing with 4 for 144. He preferred to have a go with the bat - with interesting results - but was a capable stonewaller when the occasion demanded. | 2019-04-20T03:48:07 | http://www.espncricinfo.com/newzealand/content/player/37255.html |

It was Iglesia Ni Cristo's 1st Unity Games yesterday which was held at Rizal Memorial Sports Complex here in Manila. I participated in one of the games which I never dared to play before - the 400 meter-dash relay! LOL!
I actually thought that I'll just be running for 100 meter-dash relay. I didn't realize until I was already on the track. I will have to be running at the whole oval! I wasn't nervous when it was about my turn until I started running. Thank God I didn't collapse on the track when I was about to finish it or else it would be very embarrassing!
In case you're wondering, our team didn't win. I'm glad to have participated on that game though! | 2019-04-24T06:38:41 | http://www.blissfulally.com/2011/05/my-400-meter-dash-run.html |
Kali is a rapper from southwestern Florida who has a debut single and dance challenge that’s out that may pop off soon entitled “No Hook.” We’re finally at a point where there are more women being heard and having a voice in rap, and in 2019, it looks like this year will only spawn more women rappers that derive from different styles and backgrounds. Even though Kali didn’t really start taking music seriously until the end of 2018, “No Hook” shows the potential that lies within her. It’s crazy because I can actually see this track blowing up thanks to virality with its challenge on platforms such as Tik Tok, Thriller, or Musically. The “No Hook” visuals are directed by fellow Floridian Josh Hall who captures Kali taking in the state fair with her girl posse.
Watch the video for Kali’s for “No Hook” below. | 2019-04-19T05:01:36 | https://www.lyricallemonade.com/p/no-hook-kali |

The RMS Bohemian struck a ledge off Cape Elizabeth in February 1864, and 42 died just as they were about to arrive in America.
Bonfires lit up the night sky on Feb. 22, 1864, as residents of Portland and Cape Elizabeth celebrated George Washington’s birthday, unaware of the large ship steaming toward them.
Two miles offshore, most of the passengers aboard the RMS Bohemian slept as the ship neared the end of a long, rough crossing from England. All was peaceful on board until the veteran ship captain suddenly found himself and the ship in a “peculiar haze” that proved both disorienting and disastrous.
By the end of that night, the ship would strike Alden Rock, an underwater ledge off the coast of Cape Elizabeth. Forty-two people drowned, most of them Irish emigrants planning to start new lives in Boston, New York or Quebec. The ship’s cargo spread across Casco Bay.
Back on shore, local residents mistook the distress flares and gunfire from the sinking ship as part of the holiday celebrations.
It would remain, even 150 years later, the worst shipwreck ever recorded in Casco Bay and one of the worst along the Maine coast. But except for a few reminders scattered around Greater Portland, it is largely forgotten.
“As a general rule, the story of the Bohemian is relatively unknown,” said Matthew Jude Barker, a local historian and author.
Barker will recount the harrowing tale of the Bohemian during a lecture at the Irish Heritage Center on Saturday, the 150th anniversary of the shipwreck. The free event, which begins at 2 p.m., will feature Barker talking about the ship and its connection to the history of Maine’s Irish community.
It was a calm winter evening in 1864 as the Royal Mail Ship Bohemian headed toward Casco Bay, loaded with $1 million in silk, pottery and other cargo, 218 passengers and 99 crew members.
The three-decked ship was 295-feet long. It was steam-driven but also had three masts and sails for propulsion.
Most of the passengers aboard were Irish emigrants, traveling in steerage compartments with all of their belongings and dreams of a better life in America or Canada.
The Scottish-built ship, slowed by bad weather, was 18 days out of Liverpool and five days overdue to reach Portland.
Capt. Robert Borland had sailed into Portland nine times before. But on this night, he would say, he found himself disoriented by a “peculiar haze” a few miles off shore. Other survivors would also describe the haze. Borland set off rockets and flares in an attempt to summon a pilot boat, not realizing he was so off course that his signals for help would go unnoticed.
A pilot boat, expecting the overdue Bohemian, was elsewhere in Casco Bay looking for the larger, three-masted ship, but was unable to find it. Borland, thinking the ship was five miles off the coast of Cape Elizabeth instead of three, continued toward land.
Then, without warning around 8:30 p.m., the belly of the ship struck Alden Rock hard enough to rip open its iron hull. The ship, then nearly two miles southeast of Cape Elizabeth, began rapidly filling with water.
Recognizing how dire the situation was, Borland ordered the ship to go full steam toward land. It was a move later credited with saving many lives.
The sinking steamship wallowed toward Cape Elizabeth for nearly a half-hour before coming to Broad Cove Rock, another underwater ledge about a quarter-mile from Maxwell’s Point. Borland ordered both anchors dropped and told his crew to start evacuating passengers.
But those passengers, groggy with sleep and stricken by fear, panicked.
In their rush to get off the ship, 16 people jumped aboard a lifeboat too soon, snapping a pin and sending them plunging into the icy water.
The ship’s other lifeboats were successfully launched and carried shivering passengers to the beach. When the last boat was gone, nearly 80 people remained aboard the wreck as it tossed in the waves.
Some passengers were so panicked at being left behind that they jumped into the water, including a mother who first strapped her infant to her shoulders.
The remaining passengers clung to the half-submerged ship, the deck steeply sloped toward the water below. Borland led a group of women and children into the foretop, the platform at the top of the foremast.
The remaining men climbed up into the rigging. Two men strapped their 61-year-old mother to the mast to save her as they waited hours for lifeboats to return, Barker said.
At 10:30 p.m., the ship sank in 30 feet of water, with only a small section remaining above the waves.
Finally, around midnight, the lifeboats returned for the stranded passengers. The 61-year-old woman was among those rescued from the rigging. She would live another 40 years, according to Barker.
Borland and the few officers still aboard the ship rode the last lifeboat to shore.
On land, they found two communities scrambling to help strangers left stranded and destitute by the wreck.
Cape Elizabeth residents built bonfires along the shore to warm the passengers, then offered them food and shelter. Many of the passengers had nothing but the clothes on their backs.
Bodies washed ashore for days after the wreck. Workers set up an emergency morgue in the blacksmith shop of the Ocean House hotel in Cape Elizabeth, while others brought survivors into Portland. There, Mayor Jacob McLellan provided apartments to many victims in the new City Hall on Congress Street.
Businessmen in the city immediately kicked off a relief fund, raising $700 in the first three hours, according to Bachelder.
Many of the emigrants who survived the wreck eventually continued on to Boston, New York and Quebec, Barker said. But the bodies of 30 victims remained unclaimed in Maine.
Twelve victims were buried in an unmarked grave at Calvary Cemetery in South Portland. The rest were laid to rest in a pauper’s grave at Forest City Cemetery.
Although there were rumors that Capt. Borland was drunk the night of the wreck, an inquest would later find that the crew of the Bohemian was not at fault, Barker said.
In the weeks after the wreck, the ship was pulled apart by waves, spilling sacks of mail and the $1 million worth of cargo into the water. For days and days, residents headed to the beach to collect pottery, reams of cloth, buttons and other items washing ashore.
Lipfert said people rowed out in boats to collect debris and items from the ship. A newspaper article would later say that every child in Cape Elizabeth had a new pair of shoes that year.
Yet there are no known remaining artifacts from the Bohemian on public display. In the entire 50 years that it has been collecting items, the Maine Maritime Museum has never come across anything from the ship.
For 120 years, the Bohemian tragedy remained nearly forgotten until a local postal worker took notice of the “Shipwreck at Night” mural painted by Alzira Peirce in 1939.
Bartley Conley, who worked at the South Portland post office for many years, began asking questions in the early 1980s about the mural of the Bohemian painted on the post office wall. When he learned that many of the victims lay buried in an unmarked common grave at Calvary Cemetery, he launched an effort to raise $3,500 for a stone Celtic cross to erect in their honor.
Conley told the Sunday Telegram in 1984 that he felt compelled to do something after learning most of the victims were Irish emigrants.
Less than a mile away, the other 18 unclaimed victims of the wreck are buried without recognition.
Barker, the historian, wants to change that. He and other members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, a fraternal order of Irish Catholics, are planning to raise money to mark the grave with a simple monument recognizing the tragic end to their quest for a new life in America. | 2019-04-22T14:48:48 | https://www.pressherald.com/2014/02/18/recalling_a_maine_shipwreck_time_nearly_forgot_/ |

The South Calgary Recreational Hockey League (SCRHL) was formed in September 2006 so that men and women aged 19 to 55 would only need to travel to one (or two, at most) locations in South Calgary in order to play non-body checking, refereed ice hockey one to two times per week in a safe playing environment. Since its inception, the league has attracted a growing group of players with diverse skill levels. However, all players share the same objective which is to play a fun, friendly, competitive game of hockey with minimal risk of injury in the weekday morning or weekend evening.
Therefore, in accordance with the initial vision of the league, all players are expected to use common sense while on the ice and to remember that this is a recreational hockey league and not the NHL. In this league, sportsmanship and regard for your fellow players trumps excessive verbal abuse and physical play (such as roughing, boarding, slashing, and body checking) in order to win a game. Playing competitively is not a problem as a long as it is done within the confines of good sportsmanship. If a player, over the course of a number of games, consistently employs excessive verbal abuse and physical play on the ice in spite of penalty assessments, game misconducts, fines, poor sportsmanship ratings for the player's team, and consistent negative feedback from the referees, then the player will be on track to permanent league ejection based on feedback from a group of 15+ referees who officiate in the league.
Play competitively, but with sportsmanship and respect for everyone on the ice.
The offending player actions will be reviewed by the SCRHL referee group and SCRHL league manager. Given its reduced bias, more weight is accorded to referee feedback. If the offending player actions are not serious enough to skip this disciplinary step, then the offending player will be advised verbally by the SCRHL referee group c/o the SCRHL league manager to tone down his/her style of play. The conversation will then be documented by the SCRHL league manager and forwarded to the referees to ensure player compliance.
If the offending player actions are still deemed a problem after a verbal warning was given or if the offending player actions are severe enough to warrant skipping the verbal warning, then based on feedback from the referees, the SCRHL referee group and SCRHL league manager will determine if a suspension is warranted. Again, given its reduced bias, more weight is accorded to referee feedback. If the offending player actions are not serious enough to skip this disciplinary step, then the offending player will be suspended for either the remainder of the season or for a fixed number of games. All current season players and referees will be advised of the assessment. Upon the offending player return either to complete the remainder of the season or commence another season, the player will be on probation within the league for a period of up to one year. During the established probationary period, if further consistent problems occur and/or the offending player is assessed a game misconduct at any time, then the offending player will be assessed a permanent league suspension.
If the offending player actions are still deemed a problem following a verbal warning and a season suspension or if the offending player actions are severe enough to warrant the skipping of the aforementioned steps, then the SCRHL referee group and SCRHL league manager will determine if a permanent league suspension is warranted. Once again, given its reduced bias, more weight is accorded to referee feedback. Once a permanent league suspension has been assessed to an offending player, the offending player will not be permitted to participate in any future SCRHL games. All current season players and referees will be advised of the assessment. | 2019-04-20T20:46:57 | http://www.scrhl.ca/site/3333/page.asp?Site=9850&ID=11977&LeagueID=9850 |

A food desert is a neighborhood without access to healthy food. Why does this matter? Living in a food desert can lead to higher levels of obesity and other diet-related illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease1.
Walk Score helps you make more informed decisions about where to live, like finding an apartment or buying a home within walking distance of a grocery store.
Many cities are making access to healthy food part of their general plans. For example, Washington D.C.’s sustainability plan sets a goal of having 75% of residents within a 5 minute walk of healthy food.
But how many people can walk to a grocery store in 5 minutes?
Today, we’re announcing a new ranking of the best and worst U.S. cities for access to food based on our database of local places and our Travel Time API and ChoiceMaps technology.
Our ranking measures access to healthy food by calculating the percent of people in a city who can walk to a grocery store in 5 minutes. The ranking below includes U.S. cities with more than 500,000 residents.
The best and worst large cities for food access.
Areas in green indicate where you can walk to a grocery store in 5 mins.
Note that rentals and real estate in a city such as Tuscon is much less expensive than in a food-friendly city such as Philadelphia.

To calculate the percent of residents in a city with access to healthy food we use a variety of data sources and technologies. Our population data and city boundaries come from the U.S. Census. Our list of grocery stores comes from a mix of Google, Localeze, and places added via the Walk Score website. We calculated millions of walking routes for this ranking with our Travel Time API.
Our goal is to only include grocery stores that sell produce. We filter out convenience stores with a combination of algorithmic filters and crowdsourcing. That said, it’s harder than it sounds to get a clean list of grocery stores. If you see a convenience store miscategorized as a grocery store, please click the “Edit place” link and help us improve our data quality.
Our rankings are proximity based and do not include the cost of food. Some studies have shown that shoppers select supermarkets based on price as well as proximity2. For example, people with lower incomes may travel farther to shop at a cheaper grocery store.
Unlike other food desert maps, our maps are dynamic and updated in real-time as our database of underlying grocery stores changes.
Walk Score data is being used by a growing number of cities and planning districts. “The City of San Jose is using Walk Score data to start tracking performance metrics for our general plan such as how many people can walk to fresh food and parks,” said Joseph Horwedel, Deputy City Manager of San Jose.
Walk Score offers data in spreadsheet or shapefile format for every address in the U.S., Canada, and Australia. We have also aggregated our data for every city and ZIP code in the U.S.
The City of San Jose is using Walk Score to measure access to fresh food and parks.
The Michigan State Housing Development Authority is using Walk Score as part of their low-income housing tax credit application.
The City of Toronto is using Walk Score as one of 15 criteria to measure healthy neighborhoods.
The City of Phoenix is using Walk Score to analyze light rail station performance.
Following on our ranking of the best U.S. cities for public transit earlier this year, today we’re announcing our first ranking of the best Canadian cities for public transit.
We’ve calculated the Transit Score of 38 Canadian cities and almost 1,000 neighborhoods to help you find an apartment for rent or home for sale with a better commute and more transportation choices.
In comparison to the United States, Toronto and Montreal score better than any large U.S. city except New York and San Francisco. And Vancouver, with a Transit Score of 74, trounces nearby Seattle (our home town), with a Transit Score of 57.
Click on the cities in the list above to explore the best neighborhoods for public transit.
The rankings are based on our Transit Score algorithm, which measures how well a location is served by public transit. Addresses with a Transit Score of 90-100 are considered a “Rider’s Paradise.” Places with a score of 70–89 have Excellent Transit. Scores of 50–69 indicate places with Good Transit and ratings of 49 or lower indicate areas with Some or Minimal Transit options. Read the Transit Score methodology.
There’s growing evidence that living near good public transportation is a smart decision. For example, living near public transit can save you money. Transportation is the 2nd largest household expense in Canada. Taking public transit is cheaper than owning a car. And living near good public transit might just make you happier — after all, nobody likes being stuck in traffic.
Walk Score Apartment Search helps you find apartments near public transit. For example, here’s a map of rentals within a 30 minute public transit commute of Downtown Vancouver.

Our award-winning Walk Score iPhone and Android apps let you take Walk Score on the go in Canada. You can use our apps to get the Walk Score of any location and find apartments and rentals.
Commuting is expensive and nobody likes to be stuck in traffic. Most of us want to live close to the people and places we love.
Or let’s say you’re looking at homes for sale on any of the 30,000 real estate sites that use Walk Score. You can click on the score to visit Walk Score and start comparing the homes you’re considering.
To get started comparing commutes, just click the Favorites link at the top of this page. You can compare travel times with and without rush hour traffic, by public transit, walking and biking.
Commuting by car is expensive. Be sure to consider the cost of your car, gas and parking when deciding where to live. The average American spends over $9,000 per year on their car. That’s the second largest expense for most households — and a lot of coin!
U.S. commuters waste over 4 billion hours per year in traffic. Commuting 10 extra minutes per day adds up to a full day over the course of a year! Imagine spending that time with your friends and family, working on your favorite hobby or volunteering in your community instead.
There’s even evidence that short commutes make you happier.
Homes with high Walk Scores tend to make good rental property investments.
How do you calculate travel times? Good question! Our rush hour drive times give you an accurate picture of travel times during peak commute hours. Rush hour drive times are based on average traffic in your city. The rush hour times we show give you a 90% probability of arriving on time. In other words, there’s a 10% chance you’ll have a longer commute due to an accident, snow storm, Super Bowl parade, etc.
We’ve also collected transit data from over 300 transit agencies to calculate public transit times and we use road network data from Open Street Map to compute walk and bike times. Read more about our Travel Time API.
We look forward to helping you find a better commute!
Today we’re announcing a new ranking of the best cities in the United States for public transit.
We’ve calculated the Transit Score for 316 cities and almost 7,000 neighborhoods to help home shoppers and apartment hunters find places to live with better commutes and more transportation choices.
Where Can You Live Car-Free?
Here are the best U.S. cities for public transportation.
How does your city compare to other cities in your region? See the full list of cities.
The older Northeast cities with established subway systems have the highest scores. West Coast cities that have made more recent investments in light rail also score well. Although cities in the south have a low average Transit Score of 38, there are many neighborhoods with high scores such as Downtown Houston or the Brickell Neighborhood in Miami.
There’s growing evidence that buying a house or renting an apartment near public transit is a smart idea.
First, it’s likely a better investment. The National Association of Realtors found that home values performed 42% better when they were located near public transit1. In Boston, a recent study showed that home prices near public transit outperformed the region by 129%2.
Living near public transit saves you money. The average American spends $9,859 per year on their car3. Did you know this is the equivalent of a $135,000 mortgage?! Transportation is the second largest expense for American households4.
And living near good public transit might just make you happier5 — after all, nobody likes being stuck in traffic.
Thinking about buying a new home instead of renting? Real Estate doesn’t come cheap in transit-friendly cities like San Francisco or Washington DC but if you can swing it you’ll certainly reap the rewards.

I am doing a lot of corporate writing, so I’m very happy to keep my finger in the freelance writing world. I just had an article and photographs published in the CLPNA’s CARE magazine, called Transforming Care (page 9).
This piece is about an initiative that is expanding the role of the LPNs at the Medicine Units at the University of Alberta Hospital. What really struck me when I came in to take photos and conduct the interviews was the sense of teamwork within the nursing group and the pride of accomplishment from all members for the LPNs’ new role. It was heartening to see such camaraderie on a nursing unit – and I’m sure that reflects in the quality of care that patients get too. | 2019-04-23T23:49:56 | https://suerobins.com/2011/07/10/transforming-care/ |
Macano is social and inquisitive. He does not like the cold at all. He prefers to stay in his warm den box even on warmer days. Macano is always up for attention though and always wants to know what is going on and to see if anyone brought him something good to eat. Macano loves insects and is quick to eat them first when he gets his food. He loves smelly perfumes and will rub them into his tail!
Macano and his former enclosure-mate, Lily, who passed away on October 10, 2018, came to Carolina Tiger Rescue along with 14 other animals from a facility in Colorado. The facility closed down when the owner fell ill. Carolina Tiger Rescue worked with several other sanctuaries around the country to find homes for over 100 animals.
Though he has not been with us very long, Macano made himself right at home at Carolina Tiger Rescue. Macano is outgoing and enjoys exploring his environment. Within the first few minutes of being in his new enclosure, he was sniffing all of his enrichment and showing off his climbing skills. Much like Lily did, Macano prefers his meat first and if he is still hungry he will finally eat his fruit.
Macano weighs around 16 pounds. Macano also has two black “moles” on the left side of his snout. These “moles” are from previously impacted scent glands that have long since drained. It has no impact on his current health and now simply serves as an easy way to identify him.
Currently, Macano is off tour living in an enclosure inside. Because of his size, he has a hard time regulating his body temperature during the colder months. Once it warms up again, he will be moved to his habitat outside built just for him!
Coatimundis like Macano are popular in the pet trade. These animals generally are very laid-back and docile which leads people to believe they are good pets. Coatimundis, however, are wild animals that should be and deserve to be in the wild. Lily and Macano were both declawed which is a popular practice with wild animals in the pet trade to make an animal "safer". Coatimundis often suffer in homes and can often develop OCD behaviors. These animals are very intelligent and very active. They spend the majority of their day foraging for food which keeps their minds and bodies in shape. They are often not given this opportunity when they are kept as pets. Carolina Tiger Rescue is a firm believer that no wild animal should be a pet. | 2019-04-26T11:51:11 | https://carolinatigerrescue.org/species/macano-coatimundi/ |

If I were to ask anyone of you the definition of Karma, You would tell me that it is a Hindu word used to describe the law of cause and effect. This answer would be absolutely true but it would not be clear enough. It is an over simplification.
It is true that the word Karma denotes the working of the law of cause and effect but it includes much more than this. For example it refers to the working of the law of cause and effect under certain special conditions and not under others. The law of cause and effect applies on all planes and under all circumstances . A tumbling pebble an a mountainside can precipitate a landslide but it is only by a stretch of the imagination that we could refer to the landslide as a karmic result of the pebble's motion.
"Karma" means "Action" and we use the word Karma to refer to the results engendered by volitional activity. Karma in its very essence implies the presence of motive, which in turn necessitates the exercise of a free choice. Thus, Karma may be defined as the working of the law of cause and effect as it applies to the results of decisions reached and thoughts held by ensouled forms capable of free choice.
Man is just such an ensouled form and it is Karma as it applies to individual man that we will discuss here. However, groups of men, both small and large, permanent an temporary, are also ensouled forms and as such they create Karma. This accounts for group Karma which applies to the family, the city, the nation, and the race as permanent groups and also to such temporary groups as societies, business organizations, etc.
The steps to be taken to be liberated from it.
In considering the causes of Karma, we must first understand quite clearly that every thought, every emotion or wish and every action creates Karma. If these thoughts, ideas, desires, passions are benevolent, good Karma is created. If they are malevolent, evil Karma is created. Thus good or evil Karma attaches itself to us and remains in our life current until we have satisfied or counteracted it.
The laws of nature are invariable and immutable. Man recognizes this although he frequently attempts to defy these laws. The chemist in the laboratory knows that he may expect certain well defined results if he places two elements in close proximity in a definite set of conditions. If these results are not achieved he does not say that the law has changed or look upon the result as an aberration of the law. He considers that he himself has made an error. As human beings we should realize that we are here to be happy, to be successful, to enjoy the fruits of this world and to progress onward quite simply and easily to the fruits of another and higher world. If we do not do so, we may know quite certainly that we have broken natural law, either currently or sometime in the past, and that we are now suffering the penalty of this infraction. If we obey the law we may confidently predict the result, for nature is conquered by obedience to its laws.
The most persistent and lasting Karma comes from the thought forms that have been energized by the will. The great master K.H. has described it as follows : "Every thought of man upon being evolved passes into the inner world, and becomes an active entity by associating itself, coalescing we might term it, with an elemental--that is to say, with one of the semi-intelligent forces of the kingdoms. It survives as an active intelligence--a creature of the minds begetting--for a longer or shorter period proportionate with the original intensity of the cerebral action which generated it. Thus, a good thought is perpetuated as an active, beneficent power, an evil one is a maleficent demon. And so man is continually peopling his current space with a world of his own, crowded with the off-spring of his fancies, desires, impulses, and passions, a current which reacts upon any sensitive or nervous organization which comes in contact with it, in proportion to its dynamic intensity."
Now, let's see what this means. In our present stage of development every single one of our thoughts passes through and is colored by our desire body on its way to and from our active consciousness. Created originally as a mental entity it comes into being as a vibrating force on the mental plane. These vibrations from the original idea or pattern which remains on the mental plane attract and mold the forces of each plane below the mental on the way to our physical consciousness. These energetic creations so molded by the idea attach themselves to us and remain with us for a longer or shorter time, depending upon the original intensity of the thought which created them and, of course, the re-energizing effect that repetition of this thought has upon them.
It is this cloud of self created, energetic beings, elementals so to speak, existing in the finer grades of matter and hovering about each one of us, that creates our Karma. These active entities are responsible for what we know as sensation. They translate the vibrations that approach our consciousness into what we know as feeling, taste, sight, etc. They manifest themselves not only physically in this manner but also, and very strongly, in the emotional field. This is the reason we are said to live in a world of Illusion peopled by phantasms of our own creation.
Now by our will, our emotions and desires we influence these countless beings which sensitively respond to all the thrills of feeling that we send out in every direction. In the same manner do these elementals respond to vibrations approaching them from without. Therefore, we see just how we became aware not only of physical objects but also of the feelings of others, and sometimes of their thoughts.
Not only do we generate and send forth these thought forms but we also act as a magnet to draw to ourselves the thought forms of others. We may thus draw to ourselves reinforcements of energy and it lies with us to decide whether these forces we draw from without shall be for good or for evil. If our thoughts are pure and noble we will attract hosts of beneficent entities. Sometimes one may even wonder at the tremendous power of achievement that seems so much beyond normal ability which may come in answer to noble and unselfish effort. On the other hand, low thoughts have a disturbing and evil effect, sometimes astonishingly beyond the actual intention of the individual. "Some devil must have tempted me" is the cry that is often heard and it is true that these additional evil forces sympathetic to and added to his wrong intentions have provided the strength for the deed. Please observe, we are not "attacked" by these entities, we attract them to us.
At this point some of you may think, "what is the difference between good and evil action and how may we distinguish it?" The answer, I am sure, you already know. A good thought, wish or action is one which conforms to the Law. As to how to know the Law at the time the action takes place-- that is another matter. In the long run we can only know the law through our experiences. It is a trial and error method. However, if we will accept advice from higher intellects and more advanced souls we can save ourselves much struggle and pain. These elder brothers of humanity, the Saints of various churches, the Masters of wisdom, have from time immemorial been precipitating into the consciousness of mankind advice and directions based on their own experience. Thus, the words of Christ "Love One Another" are not an abstract religious precept but a scientific technique found workable and successful by Him, which he passes on to us as a short cut to the working out and elimination of Karma.
The good thoughts or evil thoughts, desires and intentions which we create and harbor, not only have an effect on ourselves but also may have an effect on others. These elementals have a tendency to be attracted to others of a similar kind and when a man sends out a thought form it not only keeps up a magnetic link with him but it is drawn toward other thought forms of a similar type. These together accumulate to form a good or evil force as the case may be, and to this aggregation of similar thought forms are due the characteristics of a strongly marked family, or local or national influence. This is very clear to us today when a divergence between national ideologies is so well defined and we may note that family or national karmic surroundings largely modify an individual's activity and limit to a very great extent his power to express the capabilities he may posses. Each idea is colored and distorted by the atmosphere which surrounds him and its limitations are sometimes far reaching.
Thus we see how Karma is created. Every thought, every wish, every desire and every act of ours is recorded in the imperishable film of the Akasha. There they remain and print out duplicates in the emotional and physical world life after life until satisfied or corrected. These desires and acts may be only noble and good, they may be all evil or they may be a combination of both. But even if they were all good and all noble, there would still be a karmic result and a karmic debt to be paid as long as the individual retained a self conscious focus. But more of this later.
In considering the effect of Karma or the working out of karma, we will concentrate here only on its working in the physical life. It is quite true that Karma has a great effect during the after life, the life between incarnations, but this is a deep study and one not essential to our present observations.
Likewise the negative aspects of the foregoing result in negative results. As for instance, the refusal to accept opportunity results in frustration in later life ; evil thoughts become evil tendencies ; evil action results in limiting of action, such as a dwarfed mind, a diseased or mutilated body, a sudden and violent death, etc.
We said earlier in this talk that Karma is the working of the law of cause and effect but that it is something more than this. There is something added. This added something is an intelligent guidance in the unraveling of the many colored threads which go to make up our karmic destiny. While it is true that there is a Divine Intelligence in the working of the law of cause and effect, it is, nevertheless, an impersonal Intelligence, the Intelligence which working as Law has resulted in the order which now exists in place of the original chaos. But in the case of Karma, the Intelligence guiding its working out is an extremely personal one. It is just as if God were devoting himself to each individual personally to see that the most fitting incidents should occur in his life, incidents best suited to guide, urge, direct and sometimes force the individual into learning the law and following it. Thus the body we use, the parents we have, the circumstances under which we are brought up, the country in which we live and the type of life we lead are all selected for us by the Divine Intelligence acting in a personal way for our individual welfare.
It is true that we ourselves are responsible for all of these physical factors in our existence, but the expression of these particular circumstances in this particular life is at the discretion of the guiding Lipika and the great Lords of Karma, who, observing the panorama of our entire existence, decide that now and at this time it is best that one person should live in New York and another in Philadelphia.
In the working out of Karma we see many strange things. We find ourselves in contact and close association with individuals who have been close to us before. Frequently these associations are repeated in many lives and they must continue to appear and re-appear until the scales are equally balanced on both sides. Thus, the tyrannical father of one life may re-appear at a later time as a poor relative for his existence on the very whims of his former son. The loving and devoted mother may show herself in the future as a happy and well cared for sister, daughter or wife. Likewise, do we owe debts to certain countries and for this reason we re-appear again and again until we have discharged these obligations. We are led back there by those very tendencies and affinities described before, which continue to attract us until balance is achieved and the accounts are written off the books.
Very gradually at first, but later with increasing speed, we learn from many repetitions and sometimes disastrous results that certain actions are against the Law and must be avoided. There is built into our consciousness a recollection that wanton killing, for example, brings extremely unpleasant results. Finally there comes a time when, faced with the temptation to kill, we are stricken in advance by a feeling which we can only describe as a kind of remorse, a remorse for something which we have not yet done. The temptation to kill is overcome by this remorseful feeling and we obey the Law instead of breaking it. This peculiar feeling, this inner guidance is known as conscience, if we eagerly seek to hear the voice of conscience every time we are faced with the necessity for new and unique action, we shall find a never failing guidance, which with use becomes increasingly more and more successful in keeping us within the Law.
It is at this point that we begin to liquidate more karmic debts than we currently contract, we begin to free ourselves from some of the myriads of subtle beings that hover about us. Here we learn the proper conduct in order that new karmic conditions may not be created. We learn not to regret loss, nor to be over-joyed at gain. We learn to live for the sake of others and not selfishly for ourselves, we learn to think not as an individual but as part of a group.
The Law of Karma may be likened to the physical law of momentum. A plate falls from the table. If allowed to strike the floor will break. The result in a small way will be cataclysmic. But if the observer is quick, if he sees in advance what will happen and acts to prevent it, he can interpose between the falling object and the floor and either catch the plate or deflect it in such a way that the force of the fall will be broken. Here we see that the momentum generated by the falling body has either been met and opposed by an equal force or diverted by a force coming at an angle with the result that the impending breakage does not occur.
It is in just such a manner that impending karmic results can be altered. As the student advances it is frequently given to him to see certain karmic conditions which are about to precipitate themselves into action. Sometimes, to quote a modern example, he learns that the city in which he lives is about to be bombed and he counteracts this by the simple expedient of moving away.
Or again, he may meet a man, drawn together by karmic ties from the past, and observing that this man intends nothing but evil for him, he can refuse to contend with him. To fight back will only continue the warfare. The successful technique is to meet ill will with good will, hate with love, and so disarm and dis-integrate the malevolent intentions of the other. It is in this simple manner that we may prevent the worst blows of personal Karma.
Therefore, against falsehood send forth truth. Against selfishness oppose charity, in the presence of foulness emanate purity. These are the actions, fiery in their essence, which burn up the demons which Karma brings to our door.
It is true that there may be no interference with Karma but we may modify its action by knowledge. When we know how, we may thus use karmic forces to effect karmic results and once more conquer Nature by obedience to her Laws.
As knowledge grows it becomes easier and easier to get rid of the Karma of the past. It becomes possible not only to look backwards, tracing the karmic lines up to the present and take action to counteract or divert karmic results, but it is also possible to look forward and see the effects in the future that we may be generating today.
With such knowledge of causes it is possible by utilizing the Law and relying on its unchangeability to set up the effects in the future which we desire. In physics it is possible to neutralize a sound wave with the same pattern which starts from the opposite pole. The result is equilibrium or silence. In just the same way the vibrations of hatred can be neutralized by setting up against them the vibrations of love and the much desired equilibrium reached.
As long as any karmic ties remain we shall, of necessity, return to the physical body again and again. Good Karma drags us back as relentlessly as bad and the chain formed out of our virtues holds us just as firmly as that created by our vices. We shall only become free when we have learned the proper technique and this lies not in our actions but in our desires, or rather our lack of desires. As long as there is the slightest tinge of self in any of our actions, as long as we are being good because we hope for reward, then willy nilly we shall have to return here in order to receive that reward. Every cause has its effect, every action its fruit and desire is the cord that links them. When this thread is broken and burned out, the connection will end and the soul will be free. True, it will continue to act but no longer for the self. Even thought of self will then be gone and consciousness will then be merged into the Larger Life.
But, beware. We do not break the bonds of the heart by trying to kill the heart. We do not break the chains of desire by trying to turn ourselves into stone or by steeling ourselves against all feeling. The true disciple becomes more sensitive and not less so as he nears his point of liberation. He becomes more tender and less hard and the perfect student is one who answers to every thrill in the outside universe, who responds to everything, but desires nothing. Truly this perfection of balance may seem unattainable to us here and now but those who have preceded us on the way are our assurance that it can be accomplished. Let us strive that we may attain. | 2019-04-23T04:25:00 | http://arosicrucianspeaks.com/soshall.htm |

WASHINGTON, DC — Terry O'Hearn came into the world a fighter, his mother, Robin, says.
"He wasn't as happy-go-lucky," she said. "He seemed to pull back from all of us."
O'Hearn battled post-traumatic stress disorder for years. In 2016, he put a homemade shotgun to his chest and fired. He survived, spending the next few weeks in a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in Sacramento, California.
As her son recovered, Robin worried what he would do when he left the VA hospital. She says she begged the hospital to keep him. "He's isolated himself," she remembers saying. "Please do not let him go. Do not let him go home alone."
He stayed in the hospital for a total of two weeks. Just days after his release, O'Hearn, 30, took his own life.
Veterans' suicides, like O'Hearn's, are an ongoing crisis. Every day, 20 U.S. veterans die by suicide, according to VA statistics. The VA estimated that veterans are more than twice as likely to die by suicide as other members of the public. Their rate of suicide is increasing, just as it is rising among the general population.
In a statement, VA Press Secretary Curt Cashour said, "Our deepest condolences go out to the loved ones affected by these deaths. Due to patient privacy concerns, we will not be discussing the specifics of these cases."
But there are resources for veterans, like the VA's crisis hotline. Eighty veterans a day use the hotline, established in 2007, in search of emergency help. The hotline added a third call center in 2018.
The Trump administration has also tried to address the uptick in veterans' suicides.
In March, President Donald Trump established a new veteran suicide prevention task force through executive order, calling it "a tragedy of staggering proportions."
"They kept us safe, and we're going to keep them safe," he said.
Meanwhile, O'Hearn's mother says her mission now is to help other military families. A veteran herself, she served eight years in the Air Force, leaving as a staff sergeant. She wants to educate other families about how to navigate the VA process and how to recognize the symptoms of PTSD.
"I want people that are in the position that we were in to understand the process," she said. "So that maybe they could intervene. I wish that we could have intervened at some point." | 2019-04-21T22:58:05 | https://www.nbcnews.com/news/military/mom-veteran-who-died-suicide-says-she-asked-hospital-do-n995146 |

Earlier this year engineer Dr Craig Labovitz testified before the US House of Representatives judiciary subcommittee on regulatory reform, commercial and antitrust law. Labovitz is co-founder and chief executive of Deepfield, an outfit that sells software to enable companies to compile detailed analytics on traffic within their computer networks. The hearing was on the proposed merger of Comcast and Time Warner Cable and the impact it was likely to have on competition in the video and broadband market. In the landscape of dysfunctional, viciously partisan US politics, this hearing was the equivalent of rustling in the undergrowth, and yet in the course of his testimony Labovitz said something that laid bare the new realities of our networked world.
In that book, Wu recounted the history of telephone, movie, radio and TV technologies in the US. All of them had started out as creative, anarchic, open and innovative technologies but over time each had been captured by corporate interests. In some cases (eg the telephone) this happened with the co-operation of the state, but in most cases it happened because visionary entrepreneurs offered consumers propositions that they found irresistible. But the result was always the same: corporate capture of the technology and the medium. And the most insidious thing, Wu wrote, was that this process of closure doesn’t involve any kind of authoritarian takeover. It comes, not as a bitter pill, but as a “sweet pill, as a tabloid, easy to swallow”. Most of the corporate masters of 20th-century media delivered a consumer product that was better than what went before – which is what consumers went for and what led these industries towards closure.
At the end of his book, Wu posed the 64-trillion-dollar question: would the internet also fall victim to this cycle? For years, many of us thought that it wouldn’t: it was too decentralised, too empowering of ordinary people, too anarchic and creative to succumb to that kind of control.
Labovitz’s testimony suggests that we were wrong. We believed that the internet was, in the words of Elisabeth Murdoch, a “sit-up, not a lean-back” medium. It would supplant the old media ecosystem in which powerful corporations decided what content would be produced and then beamed that content down channels that they controlled to essentially passive consumers. That was the world embodied by the couch potato, a world in which the phrase “user-generated content” was an oxymoron.
What we failed to appreciate was the passivity of most of humanity and its inexhaustible appetite for consumption, entertainment and “infotainment”. The spread of high-speed broadband connections did not liberate human creativity but instead created Couch Potato 2.0, a creature that sees the internet mostly as zillion-channel TV. In that sense, it’s no accident that the corporations which now dominate network traffic are outfits like Google and Netflix, beaming YouTube and movies to you in the comfort of your own settee.
Of course the internet of our (utopian) dreams hasn’t ceased to exist. It’s just that it’s becoming a minority sport. You can still create your own website, or start a blog, become a global publisher – and join the long tail of largely unnoticed content, while stuff from Netflix et al swamps the net. You can still make LOLcat videos and screen them via YouTube, Vine or Vimeo; tweet your views and post your status updates to your heart’s content. But you can only do so courtesy of the giant corporations that own and control the platforms on which this user-generated content appears and which – as Labovitz’s testimony shows – are reconfiguring the network for their purposes rather than ours. Sad, isn’t it? We had our chance, and we blew it. | 2019-04-18T23:21:02 | https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/oct/26/couch-potatoes-killed-internet-dream |
The Delhi High Court has dismissed an injunction application filed by Independent News Service Pvt Ltd (INSPL), to restrain Sucherita Kukreti, its channel India TV's newsreader, from joining any rival television channel till November 30, 2019. Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw observed, "Granting any interim injunction would amount to restraining the defendant from doing what she has been doing for the last 14 years and what she is best known to do and has skill to do. Ad-interim injunction if granted for the period till 30th November, 2019, would amount to killing the goodwill acquired by the defendant in the last 14 years and which loss cannot be monetarily compensated to the defendant in the event of it being ultimately found in the suit that the plaintiff was not entitled to such injunction." Ms. Kukreti resigned from India TV on December 13, 2018, even though the term of her job contract ended only in November this year.
She had been entering into successive contracts of three years each with India TV since December 1, 2004, agreeing not to associate with a competing channel during the term of the agreement. However, she had declared on Twitter on January 20 that she had joined Republic Bharat. India TV then approached Delhi High Court on January 25, demanding that she be restrained from taking up work or allowing her name, image or voice for any other news channel till the expiry of her employment contract. India TV contended that she was a prominent face of their news channel, which had invested huge money and resources in building her "image, reputation and goodwill" over the past 14 years. It has further sought recovery of damages amounting to Rs 2,00,10,000 from Ms. Kukreti for breach of the job agreement.
The court, however, emphasised on the damage that such an injunction would cause to Ms. Kukreti's career, observing, "Benching a professional for as long as 10 to 11 months can be devastating, capable of inflicting permanent damage affecting mental and physical health and future prospects of a professional. This is more so in the case of Newscasters / News Presenter to whom the adage "out of sight out of mind" would also apply." It went on to hold that an injunction would constitute violation of Article 21 of the Constitution of India, as the right to personal liberty includes the liberty to practice any profession. "The ambit of Article 21 of the Constitution of India ensuring Protection of Life and Personal Liberty to all persons has over the years been expanding. Personal Liberty would include liberty to practice a vocation or profession and being not deprived thereof, notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary and which agreement Section 27 of the Contract Act declares as void. Grant of any ad- interim injunction would also be in violation of Article 21 of the Constitution of India," it explained.
The court also relied on Article 51A of the Constitution of India, which spells out the duty of every citizen to strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity so that the nation constantly rises to higher levels of endeavour and achievements. Ms. Kukreti, it then asserted, cannot be restrained from striving towards individual excellence in the profession/vocation of her choice. Besides, the court opined that the loss from Ms. Kukreti's breach of contract can definitely be measured in monetary terms. As for the skill and excellence acquired by her, it ruled that the same is her personal acquisition and that India TV cannot have proprietary rights or interest in such acquisition of excellence by her, even if it was with the channel's contribution. The application was, therefore, dismissed. The matter has been listed on July 11, 2019 for framing of issues, if any.
This judgement /order has many implications on people joining competing organisations.
Yes, Mr.Rao;I am in complete agreement with your observation.
The implications of the judgment, as I am able to assess, are (1)the employee has to honour her contract of employment in all respects including its mode of termination and (2) the employer has to be fairly reasonable in claiming liquidated damages as well as seeking interim relief from Court.
Implications are spelt out in nutshell in above post by Learned member Umakanthan.
Employees need to honour their written agreement while employers cannot be overbearing and stifle rights of employee to change jobs and restrict job mobility.
Thank You Mr.Nathrao for sharing this judgement. This will definitely have an implication in future cases.
An intersting thingI noted was the observation of the Courts, wherein they said "As for the skill and excellence acquired by her, it ruled that the same is her personal acquisition and that India TV cannot have proprietary rights or interest in such acquisition of excellence by her, even if it was with the channel's contribution". | 2019-04-18T11:16:26 | https://www.citehr.com/608484-delhi-hc-refuses-restrain-india-tv-journalist.html |

The hype track arrives just in time for Miami Music Week.
The name “Pogo” is not, like so many EDM track names, entirely random. A mouth harp created the track’s “spring” sound, which inspired Majestic to come up with the pogo concept in the lyrics, including the shout-out instructions to “bounce.” According to Luke, its “simple chants that stick to the mind and can hype a crowd” that make for a successful track.
“For instance, having a lyric like 'We hit turbulence!' has done very well for me,” he explains, referencing “Turbulence,” his massive 2011 tune with Steve Aoki and Lil’ Jon. A Miami Music Week favorite, Luke’s Mixmash Records Pool Party, on Thursday March 21 at The National, is already sold out. But with early support from DJs like Hardwell, A-Trak, Bingo Players and Congorock, “Pogo” surely will be heard throughout the city. | 2019-04-26T02:17:46 | https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/code/1550513/laidback-luke-pogo-exclusive-song-premiere |
Ok, so this year I want to bring the world of cupcake decorating to Frankfurt, Germany. That means cupcake classes in Frankfurt and international cake teachers in Frankfurt. Yes, it is a huge endevour but I am so excited. The one thing I always wished when I saw a new class being posted, was „I wish I could go. I wish the class was here in Frankfurt.“ So I decided to ask the teachers to come here and they said yes!
I think this is an amazing proof of good cupcake work. I really appreciate that you share it. It can give us ideas about other work you could do. Thanks for sharing your work. | 2019-04-22T02:23:12 | http://dascupcake.de/2013/01/03/the-ewa-feix-akademie-is-now-open/ |
Social media offers tangible benefits to everybody; no business can afford to ignore it. The most popular of the social media sites have millions signed up, with more joining every day. This article can help you figure out how to use social media marketing to your advantage.
Use Twitter to help promote your company. Using Twitter effectively will create more buzz for your business. Be sure to learn about various parts of Twitter, such as hashtags and keywords, before you start making updates.
Conversation is an important idea to remember. Many business owners don’t always take advantage of consumer feedback as an opportunity for conversation and a chance to encourage the growth of the company in a positive manner. So go ahead and pay close attention to any feedback you get from customers, and reply to the best of your ability. You can serve them better, and improve your business’s performance, by cultivating a genuine interest in what your customers want and need.
Don’t go off half-cocked and start Facebooking and Twittering like mad until you have established a marketing plan. Make sure you plan out who is going to manage your pages, what specific layout you desire, and how much of your time you’re willing to invest. Create a timeline that lays out when you expect to meet certain milestones in your campaign. To succeed, stick as closely as possible to your plan.
If you use Twitter as a business promotion tool, it is important that you speak back to followers regularly. Give people thanks when they mention you, and give them answers to questions they ask you. These interactions help build stronger relationships between you and your followers. This is important for showing you as the face of your business and adding a personal touch to it.
Try offering deals exclusive to followers on your social media sites. You can persuade your consumers with something that is unique that is not available to them anywhere else. For instance, have a contest. Otherwise, you could just simply provide some special offers for your fans. You also can post your announcements on social media pages.
Allow customers to rate, comment and sort your items. These functions allow customers to personalize their visit to your site.
Really look at what a successful social media marketing strategy will require. If you do not have a clear strategy and bounce from one social site to another, you can end up wasting time and money. Use techniques that make the best use of all of your resources, and proceed with patience.
You can whip up shopper-friendly storefronts with your social media campaign. Along with your personal website, you can also make a Facebook store. Many Facebook users prefer to remain on the site while browsing, so this option allows them to see and even purchase your products without leaving Facebook. This way, you do not actually have to draw them all the way to your site, away from Facebook, where they would likely rather stay.
Today’s social media marketing is all about Web 2.0, so make sure that you’re using the appropriate widgets and applications on your site. Add a widget to your site that followers can use to easily share your content. It can also help your readers easily share your content.
It takes time and research to put together an effective plan for using social media as a marketing tool. It is unlikely you will attract a huge following in a short time. It can happen, but it is not very likely your profiles will get attention that fast. So be patient and the followers will come over time.
You can use the Twitter API to automatically tweet certain messages at a given time of day or in reaction to an event, such as a blogger posting something. You can also add valuable content from other quality website as part of your update campaign. They might enjoy the publicity, and your followers are sure to like the stellar content you provide.
When posting videos to YouTube make sure there is a link to click on that takes the viewer to your site. Set the link up where it describes your video, and also have a Twitter and Facebook button near your videos on your channel. If you can convince YouTube viewers to follow you within Facebook or Twitter, the chances of them sharing your videos with others is higher.
You will frequently see interesting photo-shopped images on social media ad pages. These images often attract attention to the ad. Once a potential customer notices your ad, it is highly possible that they will check out your business and potentially buy your product.
Make a Yahoo account for yourself. Once you have done this, spend some time browsing through Yahoo Answers. On this site, users can submit questions for other users to answer. Find questions that are relevant to your products in some manner and offer a solution to these questions. If the rules allow, reference a product or service of yours that pertains tot he question. This knowledge will make viewers look to you as being an expert in these products and get them to visit your sites and purchase from you.
When you receive a comment on Facebook, you must make sure that you reply to it. This goes double for negative comments. Your customers want to know that their input is valued and respected. Make sure to respond in a timely manner to avoid making customers feel ignored.
When you place advertising on your social media pages, pay attention to the location of the ads on the page. Choosing the wrong spot for your ads will limit sales, and discourage potential customers from clicking on your ads.
One way to increase traffic flow to your site is to run a contest or to give away samples. People love getting things for free, and offering free items is a great way to bring new customers to your profile. Decide on what you are going to give away, then visit the popular freebie sites and post the link to where readers can get their freebie.
A great thing to remember before starting your social campaign is that things can get nasty on social media sites from time to time. Be prepared to brave a storm of negativity. Social media is great when you get praise, but there is also a negative side to it. Customers will respect your willingness to deal with difficulties head-on.
Tie your website into your social media profiles. This is simple. Just use “share” buttons that take visitors to your social media websites. To facilitate quick and easy sharing, include sharing buttons on each page of your website, at the end of each blog post and in the form of RSS feeds.
The best social network marketing involves speaking directly to customers on an individual basis. Your customers are not interested in speaking with a large company. Speaking to an individual one-on-one makes that person feel that they’re important.
When using Facebook to market your company’s services or products, only share items that are worth sharing or are interesting. Don’t share just anything, just to share. Pick things that amuse you, or useful facts that relate to your market niche. Make it something that people want to hear about. Don’t share things like surveys or quizzes that are annoying. The customers probably do not want that.
Consider the benefits of giveaway promotions through social media. Everyone loves free products and this is a way to get new followers to your social media profiles. Choose an interesting freebie, then post links to that deal on popular deal forums like FatWallet.
Brainstorm options to simplify the ability of your clients to pass your information to their friends. You should be sure that you place a Facebook share button on your posts. Take the time to create content people will want to share on Facebook.
To increase your number of followers on social networks, provide exclusive incentives such as coupons or discounts to those who “like” or follow your page. This will let your clientele feel privileged, and you can boost your sales.
To target the appropriate demographic in your social media campaign, review whatever market research you have done about your customers and put it to use. If you discover that the majority of people clicking on your ads belong to a certain demographic group, you can tailor your ads and messaging to entice them more effectively.
Take advantage of the holidays by keeping your customers informed. If you give them increased attention during this stressful time, you will gain customer loyalty. Keep your holiday plans fun and flexible. Customers appreciate this.
Learn about how broad social media marketing is if you want to use it correctly. You can use social media to learn an amazing amount about the customers you have and the ones you want to acquire. This also allows you to develop brand interaction. It is possible to speak with customers regarding your products, but you can also use social networking to personally interact with them.
Learn to use each social networking website’s special functions when you’re starting your marketing campaign there. For example, if you’re on Twitter and click on a postage time, it will isolate that tweet. Using the tweet’s postage time helps you link other content to that tweet rather than to your Twitter profile.
Use of social media for marketing is a fantastic way to garner attention for one’s company. Having other users write reviews on social media can give your business more attention. It is up to you to inspire your readers to pass on your message. You can do this by offering incentives, such as free products. Competitions to see who can draw in the most visitors can also be profitable.
YouTube can be a highly effective place to draw attention to your blog. Don’t forget when you are posting on YouTube that you should start each video description with a link to your website or blog. Include keywords based on your niche market within your description. Make sure that your tags include keywords as well.
Notice when you are getting the most tweets or re-tweets on Twitter. Take advantage of that fact and schedule your messages to correspond with that timing. You can do things like send out tweets automatically around the time that you’re impacted with a lot of tweets from other people.
When it comes to marketing with social media, you must always integrate keyword advertising and relevant links. The landing page should be either a page on your business website or some other asset like a blog. Frequently update your sites with current content. Make sure the keywords for your social media advertising and landing pages are congruent to maximize sales.
Any business owner can get something from SMM. Whether you’ve just become a business owner or you’re new to your site, social media is a great tool to have. Now that you have read through the information here, social media should seem easier to navigate and you will get the results you want.
If no one goes to your profile, you will not be a success with social media marketing. Take your time when you are writing and editing your information to make sure it is very useful and interesting. Captivating headlines, as well as sub-headlines, can be included as that final touch. | 2019-04-23T11:20:17 | https://izorlu.com/take-your-social-media-marketing-to-another-level-with-these-smart-ideas/ |

Lots of rebar is installed in all of our pools to make them strong!
“STEEL/REBAR” – BRIEF OVERVIEW : After the pool is plumbed, and the equipment is set, and sometimes during the plumbing, the re-bar crews are dispatched. Installation of the re-bar “cage” in our pools is required by our engineers, and that is what gives your UNIQUE pool its structural integrity. This is what will allow your pool to last a lifetime. These guys are artists when it comes to bending and installing re-bar in your pool. The entire process should take no more than a day, and can usually be done within a few hours. They show up early, and get it done quickly, so don’t be surprised if they are working prior to sun up. Our 5-bar bond beam gives you the extra strength needed around the upper portions of the pool, and extra reinforcement is always done around our water features, swim-up bars, and other features. PLEASE keep your friends, family and pets out of the backyard during the construction process, and be especially careful with the re-bar as it has extremely sharp edges.
There’s TONS of re-bar in my pool, but is it enough? Our pools have passed the most strict engineering standards from both our structural engineers and the city or county engineers. There is probably more re-bar and steel in your pool than is required by the engineers because UNIQUE chooses to error on the side of caution and increase the recommended steel in some areas of your pool.
Is it safe to walk around in the backyard with all that re-bar? NO! Please consider your yard to be a construction site throughout the pool and landscape build process. As mentioned above, the rebar is extremely dangerous. Please stay at least 5′ away at all times.
Is it too late to make a change to the pool design? Theoretically, it is never too late, but now is the last time before it becomes “impractical” and extremely expensive. At this point, it is quite costly, but still possible. If you see an issue, or have any hesitations or questions at this point, please talk to us immediately. We are flexible, and we want to make sure we understand your concerns. In some cases there are very easy and cost effective solutions which can be done. | 2019-04-18T20:59:07 | http://unique-landscapes.com/pool-step5-steel.htm |

Yet another kit that has been sitting, waiting for paint for a while now. It's Lon Chaney Sr., as the Phantom of the Opera. This is a four part kit - the bust and 3 pieces for the base. Silent Screen Icons also included sheets of miniature music to add to the base.
Diving right in, things start with some research and I found that Lon Chaney Sr. had both brown hair and eyes. Being that the film was in B&W, I'm free to paint the figure whatever I wanted, so I used the typical dark suit, ivory shirt, and the reddish tie. Base was painted like a dark dank sewer walls. The sheet music was provided and all I did was give it a wash with Citadel sepia. Thanks for looking.
I'm not much for the garage kit genre, but you have done a remarkable job with this. Kudos.
I hear ya, it's not for everyone. Thanks for the kind words! | 2019-04-23T05:53:54 | https://forum.ipmsusa3.org/topic/20011-phantom-of-the-opera/?tab=comments |

Katy Bourne, the county’s Police & Crime Commissioner, has welcomed a unanimous vote of support from the Sussex Police & Crime Panel members who have today (Friday 1 February) backed her decision to increase the police precept by an extra £2 per month (for an average band D property).
This recommendation was made after substantial online public consultation by the PCC and 13 focus groups held across Sussex in which people said they would pay more for policing if it increased the visibility of local police.
Commenting after the meeting, Mrs Bourne said: “I have been lobbying hard to secure the best possible funding arrangements for policing. I am pleased that the Panel has supported my decision to increase the police precept by its maximum for 2019/20, taking full advantage of the flexibility provided by government.
If you missed the panel meeting today you can watch it here, or if you have any questions about the policing precept you can see the PCC’s answers to the most frequently asked questions or submit your own question here.
The PCC has also published the results of her online survey and focus groups here. | 2019-04-23T02:53:43 | https://www.sussex-pcc.gov.uk/about/news/pcc-welcomes-unanimous-support-from-scrutiny-panel-to-further-strengthen-local-policing/ |

ABSTRACT: Coastal marine communities face both physical oceanographic changes and altered ecological relationships due to indirect human activities, such as climate-related changes, and direct human activities, such as extraction of wave energy as a renewable resource. Often single physical oceanographic changes and altered ecological relationships are investigated, rather than multiple potential drivers. Here we investigated the links between the structure of offshore benthic bivalve communities to multiple physical drivers including wave-base, and more traditional drivers of marine soft sediment community structure (e.g. temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, and nutrients). Our benthic bivalve community data (both modern and historical) were collected from bulk sediment box-core samples taken over a depth range of 20-70 m on the continental shelf of Newport, Oregon, USA. Environmental data were collected through CTD casts at sampling locations and through NOAA Buoy Station 46094. We used a non-linear hierarchical regression approach to look for a systematic response in the benthos. Subtidal bivalve communities structured themselves along a depth gradient with a distinct shift in species’ rank abundance at 50 m, and this shift was most strongly associated with storm wave-base. This distinct wave-driven community structure was present in both modern-day bivalve communities and century-scale historical communities, suggesting both the importance of waves and the long-standing nature of their impacts on biological communities in this system. These results emphasize potential consequences of changing wave-base on this shelf, which could occur indirectly through changing storm regimes due to anthropogenic climate change or directly through large-scale wave energy harvest. | 2019-04-23T14:25:02 | https://www.int-res.com/abstracts/meps/v603/p135-146 |
Inductive CHIP-IMMUNE sensors eliminate the risk of false switching due to metal debris in milling, drilling or grinding processes. Steel or aluminum objects are reliably detected, even when sensors are covered with metal chips. With extremely robust, one-piece stainless-steel housings, an IP68/IP69K protection rating and operating temperature range from -25 to +85°C (-13 to +185°F), they are ideal for the harshest machining environments. An IO-Link interface is also available for communication. | 2019-04-26T04:12:02 | https://www.contrinex.com/en-gb/product_range/inductive-chip-immune/ |
Media and Contents: 387 parts in dark yellow plastic; one in clear plastic; 150 black plastic individual track links and markings for three vehicles..
Advantages: High level of detail; convincing surface textures; excellent moulding quality; individual track links; first time this type is available as a 1/35 scale mainstream model kit.
Recommendation: The Char 2C is made up from a relatively modest number of parts, so construction should be quite easy. Highly Recommended.
The Char 2C, also known as FCM 2C, is a French super-heavy tank developed, although never deployed, during World War I. It was, in physical dimensions, the largest operational tank ever made.
The Char 2C had a loaded weight of 69 tonnes, partly because of its armour - 45 mm at the front, 22 mm at the sides, but much of it just because of its huge size. The armour was among the thickest of World War I-era tanks, though by modern standards this would be considered thin. It is still easily the largest tank ever taken into production. With the tail fitted, the hull was over twelve metres long. Within its ample frame there was room for two fighting compartments. The forward compartment was crowned by a three-man turret (the first such in history) mounting a long 75 mm gun, and the second, at the rear of the tank, was topped by a machine gun turret. Both turrets had stroboscopic cupolas. The three independent 8 mm machine gun positions at the front gave protection against infantry assault.
The Char 2C is the only super-heavy tank ever to attain operational status — a super-heavy tank is not simply a tank that is very heavy but one that is much heavier than regular tanks of its period. The next operational tank to approach its weight would be the German Tiger II heavy tank of World War II.
The fighting compartments were connected by the engine room. Each track was powered by its own 200 or 250 hp engine, via an electrical transmission. Top speed was 15 km/h. Seven fuel tanks, containing 1,260 litres, gave it a range of 150 kilometres. The suspension contained 39 interleaving road wheels on each side, making for a total of 90 wheels on the tank.
Meng Model is the first company to produce a 1:35 scale Char 2C as a mainstream injection-moulded plastic kit, and they have done a very nice job.
Meng’s 1:35 scale Char 2C comprises 387 parts in dark yellow plastic, one in clear plastic and 150 black plastic individual track links. In common with previous Meng releases, moulding quality is excellent and there are no apparent moulding imperfections on any areas that will be visible on the finished model.
Despite the size and complexity of the real vehicle, Meng has engineered their kit to be relatively straightforward to build. Although there are nearly fifty pairs of tiny road wheels each side, their clean moulding and simple parts breakdown should not make assembly a particular chore. The individual track links are very well detailed, and there are only 67 links per side. I have test fitted a couple of links and can confirm that they click together for a solid fit without the need of glue or cleanup, straight from the bag.
Surface textures and features such as vents are mainly moulded in place. They look great. Photo-etched mesh is supplied for a number of vents.
There is no interior supplied, but a number of the hatches are supplied separately in case you feel like scratch-building some detail in this cavernous area.
The raised engine compartment is supplied as a separate parts, with exterior detail built up in the form of exhausts, mufflers, boxes and plumbing.
The turrets feature crisp exterior detail. The main rear hatches are closed as part of the upper turret mouldings.
A single clear part is included for the headlight lens.
Markings are supplied for three vehicles – two in overall dark green and one with disruptive dark yellow camouflage.
All three vehicles featured in the defence of France in 1939.
It looks like Meng has another winner here.
They are defying the trend of some of the other new model companies with a straightforward parts breakdown and simple build while retaining a very high level of detail.
In common with their recent Israeli Achzarit, the Char 2C is made up from a relatively modest number of parts, so construction should be quite easy. Despite the large number of small road wheels, there is really nothing intimidating here – even a beginner modeller could tackle this kit and be confident of a good result.
Even so, detail is not compromised. Surface features are well represented and separate parts such as the turrets and engine deck parts look great. The model is enhanced by the individual track links too.
I do hope Meng continues this approach with its future releases. | 2019-04-24T06:02:22 | http://missing-lynx.com/reviews/allied/mengts009reviewbg_1.html |

That was a rumor, never confirmed by Microsoft.
However, Microsoft also skipped shipping Windows NT versions one and two and started out at 3.1.
There are hundreds of projects on Github showing code looking for that exact shortcut, so the ship has not sailed. It was never confirmed by Microsoft, but it was a reasonable explanation. Many apps used workarounds for Windows 9x because of various bugs, or refused to run at all.
Windows 1.0 and 2.0 were actual products. Windows NT started at 3.1 so that users would understand it was at version parity (and thus experience parity) with Windows 3.1.

How do they celebrate Easter in France?
On the Thursday evening before Easter Day, the church bells in France fall silent. Adults tell the children that the bells have flown off to Rome to visit to the Pope and to collect the Easter eggs. The bells remain silent (absent) on Friday and Saturday, and then on Easter Sunday they return to the churches, droppings the eggs off along the way, and ring out over the country. They are known as “Les Cloches Volants” or the flying bells.
One game that is played on this day is to throw and catch a raw egg. If you drop and break your egg you are out, and the winner is the last person left with their egg still intact.
As Poisson d’avril is so close to Easter, chocolate fish as well as chocolate eggs are included in the sweet treats at his time. | 2019-04-26T13:56:15 | https://sjbteaching.com/tag/france/ |
