Auxiliaries are extremely important for navies of all sizes, as without them, the primary fleet vessels cannot be effective.
In World War II, HMS Plinlimmon was converted to a minesweeper and based at Granton on the Firth of Forth Went to Dunkirk, served on the Tyne and later went to Harwich as an accommodation ship. Returned to owners in 1946 but broken up at Grays in 1947.
An ammunition ship is a warship specially configured to carry ammunition. Their cargo handling systems, designed with extreme safety in mind, include ammunition hoists with airlocks between decks, and mechanisms for flooding entire compartments with sea water in case of emergencies. They most often deliver their cargo to other ships using underway replenishment, using both connected replenishment and vertical replenishment. To a lesser extent, they transport ammunition from one shore-based weapons station to another.

A Danlayer was a type of vessel assigned to minesweeping flotillas they were usually small trawlers, fitted for the purpose of laying dans. Dan laying was an important part of minesweeping, and boats were fitted specifically for this purpose. The task of a danlayer was to follow the minesweepers as they worked an area, and lay the dans which defined the area swept and made it obvious where the clear channels were. This would also help the minesweepers cover areas accurately without gaps and unnecessary overlaps.

Degaussing is the process of decreasing or eliminating a remnant magnetic field. It is possibly named after the Gauss unit of magnetism. Degaussing was originally applied to reduce ships’ magnetic signatures during WWII. Degaussing is also used to reduce magnetic fields in CRT monitors and to destroy data held on magnetic data storage.
Fishing trawlers were designed to tow heavy trawls, so they were easily adapted to tow minesweepers, with the crew and layout already suited to the task. Drifters were robust boats built, like trawlers, to work in most weather conditions, but designed to deploy and retrieve drift nets. They were generally smaller and slower than trawlers.

A Fireboat is a specialised watercraft and with pumps and nozzles designed for fighting shoreline and shipboard fires. The first fireboats, dating to the late 18th century, were tugboats, retrofitted with fire fighting equipment. Older designs derived from tugboats and modern fireboats more closely resembling seafaring ships can both be found in service today.
They are frequently used for fighting fires on docks and shore side warehouses as they can directly attack fires in the supporting underpinnings of these structures. They also have an effectively unlimited supply of water available, pumping directly from below the hull.
A Floating Dry-dock is a type of pontoon for dry docking ships, possessing floodable buoyancy chambers and a “U”-shaped cross-section. The walls are used to give the Dry dock stability when the floor or deck is below the surface of the water. When valves are opened, the chambers fill with water, causing the Dry-dock to float lower in the water. The deck becomes submerged and this allows a ship to be moved into position inside. When the water is pumped out of the chambers, the Dry dock rises and the ship is lifted out of the water.
A wide variety of ships – merchant and naval – could be seen from vantage points on Harwich Pier and all of the way around to Parkeston Quay. One of the more interesting craft was the floating dock, which arrived in March 1912 and took up its moorings of Shotley. It was built of iron and the admission of water into its watertight compartments enabled it to be sunk to the required depth so vessels could float in easily to be docked. It was big enough to accommodate two destroyers side by side and by pumping out water the vessels could be propped up to create a dry dock for repair, examination and maintenance.
Harwich from 1951 to 1954 and after that was used at a few locations on S coast.
Motor Gun Boat was a Royal Navy term for a small military vessel of the Second World War. Such boats were physically similar to Motor Torpedo Boats, but equipped with a mix of guns instead of torpedoes. Their small size and high speed made them difficult targets for E-boats or torpedo bombers, but they were particularly vulnerable to mines and heavy weather. The large number of guns meant the crew was relatively large, numbering as high as thirty men.
HMS Locust was one of 4 Dragonfly-class river gunboats of the Royal Navy, Launched on 28 September 1939 and commissioned on 17 May 1940, she survived the Second World War despite being severely damaged many times, including taking a shell hit during Operation Overlord.
Locust had a central role in Operation Jubilee, the Dieppe Raid in August 1942. She was commanded by Commander Robert Ryder, who had previously attacked the Drydock in Operation Chariot, the St Nazaire Raid. Locust carried about 200 Royal Marine Commandos.
Locust was used as a Landing Ship HQ ship at Normandy in 1944, Harwich in May 1945 and Holland May to June 1945.
She was placed in reserve from 1946 until 1951 when she was converted to a drill ship for the Royal Naval Reserve and used for training. She was decommissioned in 1968 and sold on 24 May 1968 to Cashmore for breaking. She was broken up in Newport.
Harbor support is a critical support role, with various types of vessels including tugboats, barges, lighters, derricks, and others, used to move ships and equipment around the port facilities, and depot ships and tenders to service ships currently in the harbour. These vessels also help maintain the harbor by dredging channels, maintaining jetties and buoys, and even providing floating platforms for port defense weapons.

An armed yacht was a yacht that was armed with weapons and was typically in the service of a navy. Their speed and manoeuvrability made them useful as patrol vessels. Armed yachts served as patrol vessels during World War I. In the latter conflict, armed yachts were used as patrol vessels, convoy escorts, and in anti-submarine duties.
Jumbo was a motor yacht of timber carvel construction, pitch pine on oak frames with a Coventry diesel engine type KF. She was built in 1923 by Wm. Haywood of Leigh on Sea. The vessel was built for a master stevedore for pleasure and kept at Brightlingsea where it cruised the English Channel.
HMS Severn was a Humber-class monitor of the Royal Navy. Originally built by Vickers and launched on the 19th August 1913. She had a relatively successful career during the First World War with at least three engagements. At the Battle of the Yser in 1914, off the coast of Belgium, she bombarded German troops as well as artillery positions. On 10 October 1914, she survived an attack by the submarine U-8 when a torpedo passed under the shallow draught vessel. In early 1915, the twin turret was removed and replaced by two shielded single 6 inch guns fore and aft. In July 1915, she was towed to the Rufiji River delta in German East Africa where she and Mersey then assisted in the destruction of the German light cruiser SMS Königsberg.
A Motor launch (ML) is a small military vessel in British navy service. It was designed for Harbour defence and submarine chasing or for armed high speed air-sea rescue.
HMS ML 216 was a Fairmile B class Motor Launch built by Lady Bee Ltd, Shoreham and Commissioned on the 28th May 1941. She Foundered off the English East coast on 28 September 1944 after being mined and damaged.
Once the need for the “small fleet of mosquito boats” was recognized the British acted quickly in contracting American companies to provide a solution. The Electric Launch Company, Elco, was well-suited to the task of quickly turning out standardized, reliable craft en masse.

HMS Dodman Point was a Beachy Head Class Repair Ship built by Burrard Dry Dock, Vancouver, Canada and launched on the 14th April 1945. she was sold for scrap on the 16th April 1963.
Mull of Galloway was a repair Ship of the Beachy Head class of the royal navy. Launched on 26 October 1944, built by North Vancouver Ship Repairs Ltd. (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada). Mull of Galloway re-commissioned in 1954, to become the Inshore Minesweeping Flotilla Headquarters ship and carried out that role until 1957 when she was placed in Reserve.
25/8/1956. Wives, children and sweethearts of men serving on H.M.S. Mull of Galloway were at Harwich Quay, to watch the vessel leave for an unknown destination in the Mediterranean. The ship was wearing the broad pennant of its new commanding officer, Commodore C.W. McMullen, D.S.O and Bar, who was recently appointed to succeed Commodore John Lee-Barber, D.S.O R.N.
In 1965 she finally left Portsmouth on-route to Hamburg for Breaking Up.

Seaplane Carrier is a ship that provides facilities for operating seaplanes. These ships were the first aircraft carriers and appeared just before the First World War.
These carriers had hangars for storing and maintaining the aircraft, but no flight deck as in a true aircraft carrier. Instead, they used cranes to lower the aircraft into the sea for take off and to recover them after landing. The ships were normally converted merchant vessels rather than specially constructed for the task.
HMS Ark Royal was the first ship in history designed and built as a seaplane carrier. She was purchased by the Royal Navy in 1914 shortly after her keel had been laid. In World War I, Ark Royal participated in the Gallipoli Campaign in early 1915 with her aircraft conducting aerial reconnaissance and observation missions. Her aircraft later supported British troops on the Macedonian Front in 1916, before she returned to the Dardanelles to act as a depot ship for all the seaplanes operating in the area. In January 1918, several of her aircraft unsuccessfully attacked the German battlecruiser SMS Goeben when she sortied from the Dardanelles to attack Allied ships in the area. The ship left the area later in the year to support seaplanes conducting anti-submarine patrols over the southern Aegean Sea.
After the end of the war, Ark Royal mostly served as an aircraft transport and depot ship for those aircraft in support of White Russian and British operations against the Bolsheviks in the Caspian and Black Sea regions. She also supported Royal Air Force (RAF) aircraft in British Somaliland in the campaign against the Mad Mullah in 1920. Later that year, the ship was placed in reserve. Ark Royal was recommissioned to ferry an RAF squadron to the Dardanelles during the Chanak crisis in 1922. She was reduced to reserve again upon her return to the United Kingdom the following year.
Ark Royal was recommissioned in 1930 to serve as a training ship for seaplane pilots and to evaluate aircraft catapult operations and techniques. She was renamed HMS Pegasus in 1934 and continued to serve as a training ship until the beginning of World War II in September 1939. Pegasus served in this role until mid-1941 when she reverted to her previous duties as a training ship. This lasted until early 1944 when she became a barracks ship. The ship was sold in late 1946 and her conversion into a merchant ship began the following year. However, the owner ran out of money during the process and Anita I, as she had been renamed, was seized by her creditors in 1949 and sold for scrap. She was not broken up until 1949.
Built as SS Empress for the South East and Chatham Railway Co., Empress was requisitioned for service during World War I by the Admiralty on 11 August 1914, and was commissioned on 25 August. she was converted by Chatham Dockyard to carry and operate three seaplanes.Empress was assigned to the Harwich Force along with Engadine and Riviera. On Christmas Day 1914, nine aircraft from all three ships took part in the Cuxhaven Raid on hangars housing Zeppelin airships. Seven of the nine seaplanes successfully took off for the attack, but they inflicted little damage.
She was returned to her owners in November 1919 and was sold to the Société Anoynyme de Gérance et d’Armament of France in 1923. Empress was scrapped in France in 1933.
HMS Engadine was a seaplane tender converted from the cross-Channel packet ship SS Engadine, she was initially fitted with temporary hangars for three seaplanes for aerial reconnaissance and bombing missions in the North Sea. She participated in the unsuccessful Cuxhaven Raid in late 1914 before she began a more thorough conversion in 1915 that increased her capacity to four aircraft.
Engadine was purchased in February 1915 by the Admiralty and she was modified by Cunard at Liverpool from 10 February to 23 March 1915 with a permanent, four-aircraft, hangar in the rear superstructure and a pair of cranes were mounted at the rear of the hangar to hoist the seaplanes in and out of the water.
Upon completion of the modifications on 1 September, Engadine was assigned to the Harwich Force along with the seaplane tenders Empress and Riviera. On Christmas Day 1914, nine aircraft from all three ships took part in the Cuxhaven Raid on hangars housing Zeppelin airships.
She was sold back to her original owners in 1919 and resumed her pre-war role. Engadine was sold in 1933 to a Philippine company and renamed SS Corregidor. She was sunk with heavy loss of life by a mine in December 1941 during the invasion of the Philippines at the beginning of the Pacific War.
HMS Riviera was a seaplane tender which was converted from the cross-Channel packet ship SS Riviera, she was initially fitted with temporary hangars for three seaplanes for aerial reconnaissance and bombing missions in the North Sea.
Sold in 1932 and renamed RMTS Laird’s Isle for service in the Irish Sea, she was requisitioned again in 1939 by the Admiralty for service as an armed boarding vessel to enforce the British blockade of Germany. The ship became a training ship in 1940 and was then converted in 1944 into a troop transport for amphibious landings. HMS Laird’s Isle was returned to her owners after the war and resumed her service in the Irish Sea until she was sold for scrap in 1957.
HMS Vindex was a Royal Navy seaplane carrier during the First World War. The ship was built in 1905 by Armstrong Whitworth, Newcastle upon Tyne as the Viking, a fast passenger ferry for the Isle of Man Steam Packet. Viking was requisitioned by the Royal Navy on 26 March 1915 for conversion to a seaplane carrier, and was purchased outright on 11 November 1915. She was renamed HMS Vindex to avoid confusion with the destroyer HMS Viking. Vindex was assigned to the Harwich Force in November 1915 and operated in the North Sea through 1917.
The ship was transferred to the Mediterranean Fleet at Malta in 1918, where she served until she was paid off in late 1919. Vindex was originally intended to be retained for service with the fleet after the end of the war, but this proved to be too expensive and she was sold back to her original owners on 12 February 1920 and reverted to her original name. She was requisitioned again in 1939 and served through the Second World War as a troopship, but not as HMS Vindex. The ship was returned to her owners in 1945 and was finally sold for scrap in 1954.
HMS Fitzroy was a Hunt Class Survey Ship was launched on Tuesday 14th April 1919 by Lobnitz & Company Renfrew.
HMS Franklin was a Halcyon-class minesweeper commissioned in 1938 as a survey ship. She served as such throughout World War II, continuing in that role until decommissioned in 1953.
The ship was built by the Ailsa Shipbuilding Company, Troon, with engines provided by Thornycroft of Woolston. She was laid down on 17 December 1936 and launched on 22 December 1937. As a survey ship she differed from the others in her class by having a larger bridge and a surveying chartroom aft. During the war the ship was armed with a single 12-pounder anti-aircraft gun forward.
Franklin was commissioned on 17 August 1938, and carried out surveys off the Thames Estuary. In June 1939 she was sent to survey St. Lewis Inlet, Newfoundland, but in August was ordered home in anticipation of the outbreak of World War II. During the war she carried out surveys around the coast of the UK, mostly in connection with the laying of minefields. In June 1944, under the command of Lt.Cdr. Edmund George Irving, she was deployed off the French coast, following the Normandy landings, surveying ports as they fell to Allied forces. By November she was surveying the entrance to the Scheldt.
On 20 December 1916, the first meeting of the Merchant Shipbuilding Advisory Committee took place where it was decided that an extensive shipbuilding programme should be started, the ships to be of a simple design and as far as possible to be of a standard type as regards hulls and engines. These new vessels for the Government were given a standard nomenclature, the prefix to their names being WAR. 821 vessels were ordered from U.K. yards and abroad and 416 were completed to Government order, 279 were sold and transferred to private owners before completion and the remainder were cancelled. They were all modified versions of the A and B Class standard dry cargo ships, known as the Z Class. All had 2 large dry cargo holds, 6 of them had 5 cargo tanks and the remaining 9 had 7 cargo tanks, specially designed for the carriage of heavy fuel oil. Most of them were initially under commercial management.
Empire Reserve was a 5,693 GRT tanker built by Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson Ltd, Newcastle upon Tyne. Completed in 1916 as Mytilus for Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Co Ltd. Requisitioned by MOWT in 1941. Arrived on 14 August 1942 at Harwich, for use as an oil fuel depot. Intended to be renamed Empire Reserve but name not taken up. Returned to Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Co Ltd in 1946 and towed to Plaju, Indonesia. Used as a floating oil depot, before being scrapped in November 1950 in Bombay.
19 November 1941 sailed from Methil in convoy FS 650 towards Southend cargo for the destroyer force at Harwich.
22 November 1941 while in the above convoy was torpedoed and sunk in the North Sea off Great Yarmouth by German E-Boat S104. The tug Superman arrived to take her in tow to Yarmouth but she broke her back and sank. Her crew of 45 were all saved. | 2019-04-22T00:51:30 | http://www.harwichanddovercourt.co.uk/warships/repair-ships/ |

Does anyone know if Bacamarte - Depois Do Fim will be rereleased one day on CD ?
If not, does anyone have one for sale ?
Excellent album and not CD is not so rare.
Both sellers are highly recommended.
The one that Greg Walker sells is a Tachika cd-r and not the original cd and I don't know about the one in Walhalla but since they state it's a Japanese release, I'd be cautious about that one too, and it's worth emailing them before getting it to make sure.
I've found it guys! The original CD!
was a bit expensive (36€ with the shipping Brazil==>France) but well worth it considering the quality of this album.
Apparently, he has more in stock.
Happy finding for those still searching!
I bought my copy on http://www.progwalhalla.com. It is Brazilian CD (not CD-R), mini-vinyl replica.
A friend told me there's gonna be a japanesse minilp edition coming soon. | 2019-04-26T00:47:39 | http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=56844&PID=3246413 |

Why do I need to be concerned about the current engine oils if I have a classic car or hot rod?
US government regulations (from the EPA), in an effort to make catalytic convertors in modern cars last longer, have forced the engine oil companies to seriously reduce the level of anti-wear protection additive in the current API SM/ILSAC GF-4 passenger car engine oils.
What could happen to my classic car or hot rod if I continue to use oil without enough anti wear protection?
The anti-wear chemistry, known as ZDDP, is in all engine oils to protect the camshaft lobes and lifters (known as flat tappet cams) from wear. For classic cars, ZDDP must be in the oil in a higher concentration than it is in current oils. Without ZDDP protection the cam and lifters will experience premature wear and eventual failure.
I am using a synthetic, I'm protected, right ?
Today's synthetic oils are marvels of engine oil engineering. However, all API SM/ILSAC GF-4 engine oils, regardless of whether they are synthetic or conventional, must conform to the exact same standard on ZDDP concentration. Therefore, current SM/GF-4 synthetics will not have enough ZDDP anti-wear protection for your classic car's flat tappet cam.
How soon after using current SM/GF-4 oil in my classic car could I have trouble occur?
The higher the valve spring pressure and the higher the engine rpm's, the higher the ZDDP concentration must be for proper protection of a flat tappet cam and lifters. If the thin surface layer of hardened metal on the cam lobes and lifter faces has been compromised, rapid wear of these parts follows. Big block engines (high valve spring pressures) have been reported to have had failures in as little as several hundred miles.
I've heard about this problem and I've heard that I can use diesel oil or racing oil to protect my flat tappet cam engine. Am I doing the right thing?
Diesel oils and racing oils have stepped in as a band-aid attempt to help classic car owners due to the lack of passenger car engine oils with the correct level of ZDDP anti-wear protection for their classic flat tappet cam engines. However, neither diesel oil nor racing oil is properly formulated for continued use in a street driven gasoline engine. Continued use of diesel oil or racing oil could result in other problems for your classic car engine. Please refer to the attached discussion "Why NOT diesel or racing oils?"
Cam-shield™ is a premium concentrated ZDDP anti-wear engine oil additive that you add to your favorite passenger car engine oil. Cam-shield™ restores ZDDP anti-wear protection in your favorite engine oil to the correct level for protection of your classic car cam and lifters.
Why do I need Cam-shield™?
Cam-shield™ is the only ZDDP product available that is concentrated enough to be used for either new cam break-in or running operation. Cam-shield™ was designed by a Senior Race Oil and Field Test Engineer from a major oil company. Cam-shield™ is designed to be highly concentrated so that you only need a very small amount to treat your oil - it is very important not to dilute your engine oil with "filler" used to make larger bottles of oil treatments as this will alter the performance integrity of your favorite engine oil. Cam-shield™ is designed with a proprietary blend of primary and secondary ZDDP for full temperature range coverage of your engine. Cam-shield™ is supplied in a unique bottle that lets the user treat their exact oil volume at oil change time or for top-ups.
How do I know if I have a flat tappet cam and that this problem affects me?
Virtually every American-made vehicle, and many foreign-built vehicles manufactured before 1975, has a flat tappet cam engine. The tappets are also known as lifters and can be either hydraulic or mechanical (solid). Flat tappet cam engines are also known as overhead valve engines. Modern engines with overhead cams or roller cams are not affected.
Why haven't I heard about this problem before now?
When cam failures started increasing dramatically right after the introduction of the current API SM/ILSAC GF-4 category, it became clear that the level of anti-wear had been lowered to a point of intolerability for the classic car flat tappet cam engines. There has been a lag in this information reaching the actual owners of these vehicles.
Where I can I learn more about the effects of insufficient ZDDP in classic car engines?
Many articles and technical bulletins on this issue are now available to read.
Note that the quality of information is still improving as people continue to learn the fine points of engine oils as they apply to anti-wear performance in flat tappet cam engines. In particular, the continued use of racing oil or diesel oil in a street driven classic car or hot rod with a flat tappet cam engine is not recommended. | 2019-04-20T16:19:28 | http://www.cam-shield.com/acatalog/FAQ.html |

This guide builds on code examples found in Quick Start.
Hot Module Replacement (or Hot Module Swapping) is a feature of StealJS (and other loaders) that allows modules to be updated in-place while the application runs, without the need to refresh the browser. In Steal, hot module replacement is handled by the live-reload module.
Responsibilities for HMR are divided between steal and steal-tools.
Which port it should connect with the server (using WebSockets), liveReloadPort.
liveReloadAttempts, which says how many attempts it should make to reconnect to the server.
The steal-tools live-reload command is the CLI command used to launch a live-reload server. It takes a --live-reload-port flag (like the liveReloadPort config option in steal). You will need to set both of these to use a port other than 8012. See the docs there for more on what you can do with the CLI command.
Note: To prevent having to globally install steal-tools, instead add a script to your package.json.
Back in your browser, though, you'll see that the <h1> has been appended twice, oops!
This is where the live-reload API comes into play. The module exports a function that can take a callback. That callback will be called after the current module is reloaded.
// of the h1 will be appended, this deletes the old one.
Now you should understand the basics of hot module replacement and the live-reload API. See the detailed docs for more functions that you can use for more advanced usage. | 2019-04-20T05:20:57 | https://stealjs.com/docs/StealJS.hot-module-replacement.html |
SKF Needle roller thrust bearings (THNRB) can support heavy axial loads, are insensitive to shock loads and provide a stiff arrangement within a minimal axial space. Compact arrangements can be made, taking up no more space than a conventional thrust washer, if the faces of the adjacent surfaces are used as raceways for the needle roller and cage assembly. Due to these attributes these THNRB's are often used in the differential to support axial loads.
Custom design bearings can be supplied. These can have silicon nitride rollers, low weight cages, different ring materials and heat treatments. | 2019-04-18T14:34:10 | http://redirects.skf.com/group/industry-solutions/racing/cars/transmission/needle-roller-thrust-bearings/index.html |

One of southern Louisiana's first great recording artists was a Creole accordionist and singer named Amede Ardoin.
A black and white reproduction of a photograph of Amédé Ardoin.
One of southern Louisiana’s first great recording artists was a Creole accordionist and singer named Amédé Ardoin. At the time his records appeared, between 1930 and 1934, the terms “Cajun music,” “Creole music,” and “zydeco” were not in use, and zydeco as it is heard today had yet to evolve. Accordingly, there is some debate as to how Ardoin’s music should be classified. What is clear, however, is that Ardoin’s inspired musicianship, as expressed in a seamless, soulful blend of two-steps, blues, and waltzes, played a crucial role in forging both styles.
Ardoin is thought to have grown up in the countryside between Eunice and Basile, Louisiana, where many of his descendants still live. Ardoin’s family regarded him with mixed feelings because he refused to do farm work or other manual labor, instead relying on his musical performances for income. There are many tales of Ardoin hitchhiking around the unpaved roads of the prairie parishes with his accordion in a burlap sack, playing wherever he could. Many of his performances were at house parties rather than public venues.
By the 1930s, the accordion had been popular in Louisiana for some sixty or seventy years. In southern Louisiana, it adapted well to a combination of European song forms and African rhythmic approaches such as swing and syncopation. Ardoin personified this cultural blend and enhanced its development through his deft technique and his ability to improvise. Ardoin was a lively, inventive accordionist who could keep a crowd dancing while playing alone. He was also a soulful singer whose emotional style made dramatic use of elongated, high-pitched notes. Some of his lyrics, such as “Les Blues de la Prison,” were based on medieval French songs, or snippets of them. Other numbers, such as “La Valse de Chantiers Petroliperes” (“The Waltz of the Oilfield Workers”) reflected the socioeconomic changes afoot in southern Louisiana as a predominately agrarian culture began to experience industrialization.
Ardoin’s music was widely disseminated in southern Louisiana through a series of commercial recordings released by the Columbia label between 1930 and 1934. Some of these records found Ardoin accompanied by the great Cajun fiddler Dennis McGee. Such an interracial collaboration was unusual during an era when the two would almost surely have been barred from performing together in public. Ironically, a racial incident ended Ardoin’s career, around 1939, when he was severely beaten after a white woman wiped his face with her handkerchief. Mentally incapacitated from the attack, Ardoin spent the rest of his life in a state mental hospital.
Ardoin’s music deeply influenced two important (and, in turn, influential) midcentury musicians: the Cajun accordionist Iry LeJeune and the Creole accordionist Clifton Chenier. Chenier forged the zydeco sound that is still heard today by blending Cajun and Creole folk aesthetics into his interpretations of mainstream African-American blues and R&B, which he sang in French. LeJeune’s high-pitched emotional singing and passionate accordion playing continue to resonate in contemporary Cajun music.
The legacy of Amédé Ardoin also resonates today through the fourth-generation activity of his descendants. His nephew, Alphonse “Bois-sec” Ardoin (1915–2007) remained active into the new millennium, while, at this writing, his great-great nephew, Chris Ardoin, leads a very popular zydeco band called NuStep. Chris Ardoin’s full, electrified band bursts with youthful enthusiasm, but it does not surpass the power of Amédé Ardoin’s unadorned recordings, which jump across the decades with their passion and urgency.

The classic Avon float design is ideal when used in conjunction with a bulk shotting pattern or olivette for fishing on the bottom with conventional baits such as maggots and casters as well as big baits such a bread flake.
Can be fished running at the pace of the river or held back hard thanks to the pronounced shoulder.
Alloy stemmed shouldered stick floats are the most versatile ‘top and bottom’ floats in the range and ideal for most running water situations.
The stem provides stability in turbulent water and the shoulder allows the float to be held back hard in strong flows whilst the fine tip will register the tiniest indication.
A strong carbon stem and a bright hollow tip which will stand out when being fished mid river.
The thickest of Prestons straight pellet wagglers, they are supplied with 3 interchangeable tips to combat changing light conditions, and are also supplied withtwo interchangeable splash disks which help to stop the floats diving these can be removed completely if required.
A more sensitive pellet Waggler suitable for days when the buoyancy of a thicker float will result in missed bites.
They are supplied with 3 interchangeable tips to combat changing light conditions and with two interchangeable splash disks which helpto stop the floats diving these can be removed completely if required.
Rubber Float Stops can be used for stopping sliding floats and also creating semi fixed feeder and bomb rigs.
Perfect for putting either side of loaded pellet wagglers or big loaded bodied missiles.
This Bodied Insert Waggler is ideal for fishing at long distances for a multitude of species.
It comes with three interchangeable tips to suit different styles of fishing including a standard inset tip for all round fishing, a carbon-stemmed tip for sensitivity and stability and an incredibly visible thicker tip, which due to its hollow centre still retains its sensitivity.
Fitted with a thin plastic insert these wagglers are ideal for those situations where you need to strike at bites, the removable plastic disk help to stop the float diving on the cast meaning you are fishing as soon as the float hits the water rather than waiting for it to come back up.
Comes with add-on weights that you can use to fine-tune this super sensitive float.
Also comes with an ultra-stable carbon stemmed tip for help in choppy conditions.
This is possibly the most durable waggler available.
Enables use with locking shot or Preston Pellet Waggler Float Stop Kit.
Perfect for those days when the fish are being finicky.
The hi-glow insert tip is visible from long distances.
A classic insert peacock waggler with a high visibility hollow tip that allows natural light to penetrate, making it visible in even the worst light conditions.
Equally at home on stillwaters and slow to medium paced rivers and ideal for catching shy biting species such as roach ‘on the drop’.
This specialist float range has been purpose designed for big river fishing.
The heavy lignum stem aids casting and the bright domed tip is not only highly visible at distance but also allows line to be dragged along the bottom to slow the bait down for perfect presentation every time.
Incorporating an insert, these wagglers combine the attractive splash with increased sensitivity, ideal for shy fish.
Suitable for use with Preston Waggler Adapters as no additional loading is required.
The straight peacock is the ‘go to’ float for general waggler fishing on stillwaters and slow to medium paced rivers but can also be used for running at pace on fast flowing water.
Additional buoyancy in the tip allows a variety of baits to be suspended improving presentation and allowing every bite to be detected.
The all balsa speci waggler is really versatile and can be used in fast flowing water to slow the bait down by dragging line and shot on the bottom.
The ultra-buoyant tip prevents the float being dragged under until you get a bite.
Also very effective on still waters when used as a conventional pellet waggler.
Correctly loaded, these new Splasher Wagglers have a double body design that prevents the float diving too deep on the cast and increases the splash when it lands.
A polycarbonate stem provides the strength required when casting continually.
Ideal for a whole host of fishing situations, from catching carp in summer to fishing for shy-biting roach and bream in winter.
Possibly the most durable waggler available.
The adjustable weights allow you to fine-tune the waggler to suit your fishing style, and enable use with locking shot or Preston Pellet Waggler Float Stop Kit.
From catching carp in summer to fishing for shy-biting roach and bream in winter. | 2019-04-23T10:21:58 | http://www.fishfriend.co.uk/coarse-floats-lake-canal-and-river/preston-innovations-coarse-floats |

The four square writing method is a simple format for helping kids to expand upon their writing, add details, and be organized. So many young writers struggle to develop well-written stories, essays, and descriptions. This method utilizes a simple graphical organizer to take kids step by step through the process. It can be used for any type of writing project from a simple paragraph to a story or even a persuasive essay. It’s awesome to watch kids bloom in their writing when you take the time to do a pre-writing activity. No more blank stares and stationary pencils! A pre-writing activity like four square writing will get those brains and pencils moving!
Click on the picture to get the printable.
The four squares can be used a variety of ways.
A simple one to begin with is the sequential method. The center square contains the topic or main idea, then each subsequent box lists the bits in the order they happen. This works well for how-to topics. For example, the main topic may be “How to build a snowman.” The boxes may say: 1- Roll three snowballs to form the body, one large, one medium, and one small. 2- Stack them on top of each other with the biggest one at the bottom, the medium one in the middle, and the smallest one on top. 3- Gather a scarf, a hat, a carrot, 2 sticks, and some rocks. 4- Place the scarf around the neck, the hat on top, the carrot for the nose, sticks for arms, and the rocks to make a mouth, eyes, and buttons.
Kids can also use the sequential method for an imaginary story, with each box telling the next important event in their story.
Another simple way is to put the main idea in the middle, and then add details about it in the four surrounding boxes. For example, “Why I love winter.” 1–The snow sparkles and makes everything look clean. 2– I get to go sledding with my friends. 3– Mom always makes hot cocoa for breakfast. 4– I get to build snowmen. This is the basic method for creating a 5 sentence paragraph. For older students, it can easily be adapted into a 5 paragraph essay with the center as the topic, and the four boxes as each supporting paragraph.
The third way I use this writing prompt is also important for helping kids think through writing in a detailed way. The center is still the topic, and the 4 boxes represent who, what, where, and when. The topic may be “My vacation to the ocean.” 1–Who: My whole family went to the coast. 2–What: We went camping and explored the beach and the tide pools. 3–Where: We stayed at a campground on the Washington Coast called “Kalaloch.” 4. When: We got to spend 10 whole days of August there during our summer vacation.
The graphic organizer can be used for just a few words, complete sentences, or even whole paragraphs. Use it differently depending upon the level and ability of the writer. Once kids master getting the basics down on the organizer, they are ready write. It becomes easy to put their organized ideas down on paper.
A natural extension of the printable is teaching transitions. You can teaching connecting words. “First,” “another example,” “In addition,” or “To summarize,” and other transitions are easy to add. They can add transitions as they transfer their basic ideas from the 4 squares to their writing project.
One more time – here’s the printable 4 Square Writing Method organizer for you to try out.
Did you like the idea of four square writing? Then we hope you’ll check out our other learning explorations and our catalog for lots more printables and learning ideas from Karen and Michelle.

It only takes two to make an auction, which is why the bid for this ball went through the roof to what some say was a grossly inflated price, even without the steroid allegations that have come to dog McGwire. The winning bid, from comic book maker Todd MacFarlane, was reportedly well above all other offers. The ball is now estimated to be worth about a third of what MacFarlane paid for it.
A bit of an aberration–this card is rare because Wagner objected to the use of his likeness on early baseball cards. Some say it was because he was ahead of his time in not wanting to promote tobacco (which preceded bubble gum as card sponsors), others say he was just irked about not getting paid. This card, once owned by hockey great Wayne Gretzky, has sold three times since the early 1990s, each time for more money.
Not sold yet, but Steiner expects the package to easily go for seven figures. The reportedly bland diaries, which don’t include anything from DiMaggio’s playing days or his marriage to Marilyn Monroe, show just what an icon the Yankee Clipper is. Anything that expressed his thoughts in his own writing is gold.

cuckoo is on time', 'swallows are early'. Biology.ie's reading of its Nature's Calendar data shows that Spring is right on time and in some areas is rushing ahead. Aerial photographs support this by showing an estimated 60% greening of the countryside (Thursday April 17th). The cold easterly and north easterly winds have not slowed down bud burst. Bud burst responds more readily to sunlight than temperature and the recent cold winds have brought abundant sunlight with them. Early Spring events such as the first frog spawn, first tadpoles and first Horse Chestnut budding have been early by about a week. Some late Spring events are early by as much as two weeks (ash budding). Paul Whelan, who runs the Nature's Calendar on Biology.ie says 'its tempting to give a simplistic interpretation of Nature's Calendar data. On the surface it may appear that Spring is late by up to three weeks, but when the age of trees is taken into consideration on examining budburst records, its right on time, or slightly tripping ahead of itself south of a line from Galway city to Wicklow town'. Biology.ie has accepted both song and visual sightings of cuckoos over the past three weeks and these are typical for this time of the year. Nature's Calendar records coming from inside towns and cities show that Spring is early but 'this is a typical pattern' according to Paul Whelan, who goes on to point out that heat from buildings and street lighting will bring on budburst and bird nesting artificially early'. Whelan goes on to say that people are not only lighting buildings to draw attention to their aesthetic value at night, but are now extending this practise to vegetation, particularly trees. 'Lighting garden trees is intrusive to wildlife, forcing early budburst, while inhibiting animals such as squirrels and birds from using the trees at night for shelter and/or hunting. From nature's point of view, lighting a tree up at night is as effective as cutting it down'.

After breakfast we drove north inland around 40 kilometers for an overnight stay at Jeremy's Bay Campground within the main Kejimkujik National Park, having had an excellent day at the Seaside section yesterday. Over the last few days one of the highlights has been the sheer abundance of Canadian Tiger Swallowtail Butterflies and I finally managed to photograph one as we arrived at the park around noon.
Canadian Tiger Swallowtail - Finally Snapped One!
The park protects 381 sq. km of inland lakes and forests, and 22 sq. km of coastline which we visited yesterday. Kejimkujik is by far the most important national park for reptiles in Atlantic Canada. Five snake, three turtle, five salamander, one toad and seven frog species inhabit the slow-moving rivers, streams, shallow lakes, bogs and marshes of the park. Warm summers and moderate winters account for the abundance and diversity of these species.
After checking in to our overnight lot Dee and I took a 6Km hike along the shoreline of the lake. The Red Squirrels a constant companion for most of our walk and Dee discovered a Hairy Woodpecker peering out from his nest hole, how she spotted it I'll never know! Dragonflies were on the wing, as yet unidentified and in need of research, and while Dee was searching for frogs and toads, a Ruby-throated Hummingbird made a brief appearance.
We paused occasionally on the many benches overlooking the lake, spotting Common Loon, Arctic Tern and the usual Great Black-backed Gulls, however the highlight was the sudden appearance of a Broad-winged Hawk, which rose noisily over the treetops offering a few photo opportunities.
We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening back at the RV enjoying the surroundings and as I've mentioned a few times when writing my blog it's sometimes worthwhile letting the wildlife come to you! Red Squirrel at your feet, along with a brief visit from Chipmunk, the abundant American Robin and Song Sparrow, plus a solitary Fox Sparrow and some real surprises too. The first was while searching the tree canopies when a bird I normally associate with the winter months in the UK suddenly appeared, not a Bohemian on this occasion but a Cedar Waxwing and two at that.
Record Shot of Cedar Waxwing High In The Canopy!
After the delight of watching the Waxwings for a while the rest of the afternoon and evening was a pleasure around our campfire. The constant drumming of Woodpeckers and the odd glimpse of Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and Pileated Woodpecker, North Americas largest. Blue-Jay, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Northern Parula and the best until last, falling asleep to the mystic calls of Common Loon and the barking call of a Barred Owl, priceless!! | 2019-04-19T06:32:37 | http://www.boatbirder.com/2013/06/day-4-afternoon.html |

Installation view of “Alina Szapocznikow: My American Dream” at Broadway 1602 in 2010.
Broadway 1602, the experimentally minded New York gallery that opened in the Garment District in 2005 and moved to two uptown spaces in 2016, has filed for bankruptcy, bringing to a close a 12-year run that included pivotal shows of work by Marjorie Strider, Alina Szapocznikow, Evelyne Axwell, and many other under-recognized artists. The filing was first reported by Bloomberg’s Katya Kazakina.
The gallery, which focused on under-represented international artists of the 1960s and ‘70s but also organized left-field shows of more recent art by figures like Paul P. and Amy Granat, is the latest casualty in a steady stream of small- and mid-sized galleries that have closed in New York over the past few years, pressured by competition from better-capitalized, multinational peers, a softening of collector demand, and the increased costs of doing business as real-estate prices rise and art fairs remain a pricy but essential source of potential revenue for many dealers.
More critically acclaimed shows would follow, by Szapocznikow and others, including Nicola L and Edward Krasinksi, whose recognition has since increased considerably in New York, the United States, and internationally. | 2019-04-25T00:19:35 | http://www.artnews.com/2018/01/31/broadway-1602-venturesome-new-york-gallery-closes-12-year-run/ |
Welcome to Josephine Geluso's web site where you can meet her and discover her moving and delightful poetry.
Writing poetry never occurred to Jo until she was 80 years old. Her friend Donald E. Axinn, celebrated poet, showed her a photo he had taken on his farm in Vermont. It was a magical scene, she recalls. An old gate with peeling whitewash almost hidden by overgrown vines enticed one to come in and discover what lay beyond. “This photo is asking for poetic outlet. Why not write a poem?” she asked Don. His response, “Why not you!” That was the spark that fired Jo’s imagination and her first poem “The Gate". | 2019-04-19T14:16:34 | http://www.jogeluso.com/index.htm |
An endoscopic sterilisation technique for use in Galapagos tortoises (Geochelone nigra) was developed as part of a conservation and ecosystem restoration project. Fifteen female giant Galapagos tortoises were anaesthetised, intubated and positioned in dorsal recumbency. A bilateral prefemoral approach was made and the ovaries were identified using a 5 mm × 33 cm rigid telescope. In the case of endoscope-assisted oophorectomy, the ovaries were exteriorised through the same incision, the vasculature was ligated and the mesovarium was transected. Two tortoises had immature ovaries that could not be exteriorised. In these animals, endoscopic oophorectomy was performed using radiosurgery. Closure of the incisions was routine. All tortoises except one recovered well from surgery. There were no reported complications six weeks and six months postoperatively, and all were successfully released on to Pinta Island in May 2010. | 2019-04-20T16:24:49 | https://veterinaryrecord.bmj.com/content/168/2/47 |

Hyundai will use this month’s 2018 Los Angeles auto show to unveil a full-size SUV the automaker confirmed Thursday will be called a Palisade.
Due on sale next year as a 2020 model, the Palisade will offer seating for eight and features normally found on luxury vehicles, such as premium cabin materials and advanced safety technologies.
Hyundai previewed the design with the Grandmaster concept (shown below) unveiled in June. We’ve also spied prototypes testing in the wild over the course of the past year. Though camouflaged, the prototypes hint at a large, boxy design, with the treatment for the grille and headlights similar to what we see on the redesigned 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe.
Underpinning the vehicle is a new front-wheel-drive platform with transverse engine mounting and all-wheel-drive capability. The recently revealed 2020 Kia Telluride is also based on this platform. Meanwhile, we can look forward to a V-6 as the standard powertrain and potentially a hybrid option at some point.
Potential rivals include the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, Dodge Durango, Ford Expedition, Honda Pilot, Nissan Armada, Toyota Sequoia, and the aforementioned Telluride from Kia. The Palisade may even be built at the same plant in West Point, Georgia as the Telluride.
We’ll have all the details soon as the L.A. auto show opens to the press November 28. To learn about some of the other vehicles set to appear, head to our dedicated hub. | 2019-04-20T00:52:17 | https://vehicletraveller.com/2018/11/09/2020-hyundai-palisade-full-size-suv-set-for-2018-la-auto-show/ |
Next week we will see Trading Statements begin to emerge and I wanted to offer some words of warning. We already know that John Lewis saw its sales +2.3% up yoy for the week ending 26th December. This will prove to be one of the strongest performances. Next will be the first major retailer to report next week. As always, its figures will be among the very best. Both companies are routinely described as retail bellweathers. They aren’t. A bellweather is meant to be indicator of what will be the norm. These two businesses are in that small minority with brands strong enough to have traded predominantly at full price. Next was one of the few able to opt out of Black Friday.
Christmas Trading Statements are not externally audited. In effect, companies can say whatever they want and choose whatever definitions and criteria they want. Obviously, for quoted companies there is the need to manage expectations and not mislead the market. Nevertheless, there is wriggle room. The numbers are not comparable across companies and sometimes definitions and timeframes can be changed in subtle ways within companies from year to year, rendering those comparisons difficult too. It is human nature to try and paint performance in the best possible light and this year that instinct will be stronger than ever.
After 12 months of back to back discounting, retailers are entering 2016 with too much stock and too little cash. The year has been incredibly tough, Black Friday was a damp squib and Christmas failed to deliver. Returns and refunds will peak over this latest period and statements will rarely if ever take these into account. The health of the industry will undoubtedly be impacted and if the majority of Trading Statements do not reflect this, the questions should be why, and how?
So after the damp squib of Black Friday, the hoped-for bounce back for Christmas failed to materialise. It was never very likely to. The consumer was literally and metaphorically spent some time ago. And at heavily discounted prices too. After a year of price promotions, consumers were able to buy what they wanted more cheaply than they expected. And shouting about further promotions simply failed to make the necessary impacted on increasingly fatigued shoppers.
The industry will enter January with too much stock, too little cash, and worries about what to tell the market in their upcoming trading statements. Even more pinches of salt will be needed this year. 2016 will see the beginnings of a much needed reset of industry economics. There will be more capacity and cost inflation will outstrip sales growth. While 2015 was the toughest year I have ever seen, I am forecasting an even tougher 2016.
This market will widen the gap between the winners and also rans still further. However, the latter outnumber the former, as our Promotional Tracker has been showing in recent months. Nevertheless, the news is not totally negative. For strong brands with strong, focused leadership teams, the opportunities to make great returns are there.
I take this opportunity to wish you all a great Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year. It’s certainly going to be a busy one for retail!
November’s ONS retail sales figures should be a warning for the industry. Instead, virtually all the coverage has been positive, driven by the ONS itself and by City economists. If these are positive numbers, how come more than two thirds of the High Street is on sale, a week before Christmas? The vast majority misinterpret the figures, following the volume and not the value series. This error is magnified when either inflation or deflation are important – like right now.
Far from being good, the November value numbers for the trade as a whole were +2% – the weakest November yoy growth for 10 years. Moreover, achieving this very modest growth “cost” the industry 2.4% in price defaltion. Sure, volumes went up by 4.3% but this gain is not enough to compensate. The 2% growth in sales value is certain to be overstated because of the Black Friday sales spike online, and the high returns this will produce. Talking to retail CEOs, the underlying growth for November will net out at below 1.5% yoy.
After 12 months of relentless discounting across every sector of the trade, retail is weak and progressively losing share of consumer spending. It is clear that dropping prices does indeed increase volumes, but only to a limited degree. And that limit has been around 4% for some months. Deflation is happening by default, and is a zero sum game. It is virtually all on current season’s stock and is diluting margins. You can only mitigate through increasing bought-in margins for so long, and my sense is that we have hit the ceiling.
Structural change is starting to move the goalposts of industry economics. Next year will be painful and some retailers are trading through their last Christmas. This is not gloom – it’s reality and denial is potentially life threatening.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday have gone. Now retailers are asking consumers to come back and buy for Christmas. The body language of stores out there says everything. With 66% now on sale – a totally unprecedented number – the reality is beginning to emerge. After a 12 month diet of more or less permanent price promotions shoppers are tired, and confused. They no longer know whether any given price, even if it has already been cut, will be cut further This is bound to impact a) buying behaviour and b) trust in the retailer.
This will have a material impact on performance. First, Black Friday turned out to be more online than anticipated. However, substantially higher store costs have still been incurred. And so too will higher costs than budgeted in order to fulfil increased online sales. Cost of sales online are higher than in store, so there will be a direct impact from this alone. Then there are returns. I suspect returns will be even higher than usual online, so whatever early indications of Black Friday sales might be, they will net out considerably lower.
As I said in my opening paragraph, we can already see some of the implications of this in the incredibly high discounts out there. The vast majority of mark downs are current season stock, and there is lots of it. I have been warning for some time about next year’s tightening industry economics and trading will be materially more difficult. Many retailers will be entering 2016 with too much stock and too little cash, and that’s before the new economic screw starts to tighten.
We are now in the period when PR and wishful thinking rule the day. After the trading performance damaging Black Friday and the now redundant Cyber Monday, we are being told how fantastic it all was. Will anyone remember this groundless euphoria when the dust settles and the truth needs to be faced?
Surely no one seriously doubts that spending is finite? Surely no one out there thinks that if you drop the price of something you will sell more, ad infinitum? This is where economic theory comes unstuck. The industry and those who surround it need to learn from last year – netting out this period and Christmas, there will be higher costs, pretty much the same sales and lower margins.
This year there is the double whammy in materially higher costs. While far fewer customers turned up at stores, retailers still had to pay for the huge increase in staff they lined up to cope with the crowds that failed to show. They then faced higher costs online to deal with the surge in website volumes. And finally, there will be higher than budgeted costs from dealing with the higher returns – returns online dwarf those in stores.
In every type of business there are some sales you don’t want, and retail is no exception. Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the various other artificial devices out there are exactly that: margin diluting and brand damaging. We are now entering the key trading period of the year. UK retail has significantly damaged its chances of generating full price sales in this period because of Black Friday. Right now, the vast majority of the High Street is on sale, and will be all the way through. | 2019-04-19T17:05:07 | http://www.richardtalksretail.co.uk/blog-post/2015/12/ |
The year Pete Rose was about to break Ty Cobb's all-time hits record in spring training, he was being interviewed. One reporter blurted out, "Pete, you only need 78 hits to break the record. How many at-bats do you think you'll need to get the 78 hits?" Without hesitation, Pete just stared at the reporter and very matter-of- factly said, "78." The reporter yelled back, "Ah, come on Pete, you don't expect to get 78 hits in 78 at-bats do you?" Mr. Rose calmly shared his philosophy with the throngs of reporters who were anxiously awaiting his reply to this seemingly boastful claim. "Every time I step up to the plate, I expect to get a hit! If I don't expect to get a hit, I have no right to step in the batter's box in the first place! If I go up just hoping to get a hit," he continued, "then I probably don't have a prayer to get a hit. It is a positive expectation that has gotten me all of the hits in the first place."
Pete, for all his faults and failure, made a choice to hustle, hit, and win. History records that, even with his shortcoming, he accomplished his goal because he kept his eyes on the prize. That is exactly what Paul is telling us, what Jesus showed us, and what our God expects of us. But let's break down this thought and ask, "If I am to keep my eyes on the prize and press on, what does it mean for me?" | 2019-04-25T08:12:53 | https://www.sermoncentral.com/sermon-illustrations/69422/keep-your-eyes-on-the-prize-by-sermoncentral |
I don't think that the review for this book is going to be easy. I had a perceived notion of this book and this book was completely different from what I had thought about it.
Let me give a short overview of the book. This story revolves around one person Niki, who is not having the best of life, in either personal nor professional life. She then manages to get into a different world, which is apparently the perfect world, called Zedius. The journey from Earth to this planet has been described in a very detailed manner. There the task is to save the perfect world, and the common myth that, when one has no problems in life, is something, one always longs for. This has been proven wrong here and Niki, who has the power to create problem where ever she goes is one of the chosen one to create problems in this perfect world so that a lively atmosphere can start in this world.
Now, having given this short briefing of the overall story in the book, its not the story which makes an impact in Priya's books. Its the thoughts which keep running in, which are detailed in a very intricate manner is what really touches you, and this book is no different. I only wish someone could put all those points in a different book and I would gladly buy that one.
Coming back to the book, its not the easiest of the book to read, unlike her previous ones. Its something which one needs to read slowly to absorb every line. Unlike her last book, this book made me fall asleep.(I don't normally fall asleep while reading). Its not easy to keep reading this book. It took close to a month to finish off this, though initially I thought that, this is not in line with her previous books and not up to the mark, I was proven wrong.
This book is at a very high spiritual level. I am pretty sure, many of you will not be able to appreciate the contents. Since I had quite a bit of knowledge of the soul power, I was able to comprehend it. The more and more pages I turned , I was wondering, how did Priya manage to learn all these concepts and based on that write a story, which is a story and at the same time, talks about highly spiritual stuff. Its not easy for a young person to know about all the contents unless she has read a lot in these areas. Not sure, how did she manage that, or is it that she is just gifted. But at the end of it, its an awesome piece of work.
Now, the million dollar question. Should you buy this book. I am not sure. As mentioned earlier, its not the easiest of the book to read. This book shouldn't be read in a hurry. You should take time and absorb every bit of it into yourself and that's the only way you will benefit from reading this. I can call it a slightly easier version than Shantaram. But its a simple story and very few characters and great insight into one's life.
If I compare my knowledge from learnings in Brahmakumaris and this book, I didn't find anything contradictory. Would definitely recommend all the followers of Brahmakumaris to read this book. It just takes one on a journey, in a virtual reality mode and can really appreciate the teachings.
Great work Priya!! Keep it up. And to be frank, my initial impression while reading the first few chapters was not the same. | 2019-04-22T09:58:46 | https://www.prasadgovenkar.com/2012/04/perfect-world-priya-kumar.html |

“Whenever the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, David took the lyre and played it with his hand. So Saul was refreshed and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him” (1 Sam. 16:23).
A prominent figure complained about the impact of music upon our young people. This “new music,” he said, “is promoting the moral degeneracy of our adolescents.” We might think this statement was made by someone within the past one hundred years. However, even though this sentiment has been echoed numerous times in recent history, it is actually a quote of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato.
Without question, music has a profound impact on human beings. Though we may differ over just how influential it is, music continues to shape and add color to the most important moments of our lives. Spouses have favorite songs that conjure up happy memories of courtship. Certain compositions are immediately associated with specific holidays or other special occasions. Music can be used to change or reflect different moods. As today’s passage indicates, even biblical heroes used music for this purpose.
The principles of proportionality, harmony, simplicity, and complexity introduced yesterday may be nowhere more apparent than when we study music. All sorts of sounds are heard everyday — a jackhammer’s pounding, the singing of a sparrow, the shattering of glass, the fight song played by a marching band. Yet only the second and the last of these examples can be called music. A jackhammer may be noise, but it does not exhibit the variation in tone or progression (proportionality) that the sparrow’s singing does. When glass breaks, it may be possible to determine that it shatters with the tone of A flat. Nevertheless, because this tone does not occur in a sequence (simple or complex), it is not deemed to be musical.
In reality, a musical score always follows certain mathematical rules. Certain chords sound harmonious because of their numerical relationship to each other. The artist may not be able to define it with arithmetic, but if the correlation does not adhere to a mathematical system of music, Western or Eastern, the tones only produce noise. If a progression of sounds completely violates the standards of aesthetics, our ears do not hear music.
The Psalmist implores us to “make a joyful noise” unto the Lord, but the context makes it clear he is using “noise” as a synonym for music (Ps. 95:1–2). God is pleased when we praise Him with music, whether it be with voice or with the instrument. Do you worship Him eagerly in the public setting whenever it is time to sing? Endeavor this Sunday to sing or play eagerly unto Him, for He is the great God above all the earth. | 2019-04-19T12:17:11 | https://www.ligonier.org/learn/devotionals/influence-music/ |
After seeing the team win the Copa del Rey for the 29th time in the club’s history, president Josep Maria Bartomeu spoke of the great work carried out by Luis Enrique in his three years in charge.
“Luis Enrique has done a very good job and we are very grateful,” said the president, adding that “the door is always open for him to return when he wants. He has been a successful manager”.
It was the ninth trophy won under the Asturian, and the Barça president said that Luis Enrique “many objectives” and said that the Copa del Rey was won “with a huge effort against a side who had a clear idea of how to play”.
On Leo Messi’s superb performance, Bartomeu said that the Argentine “stood out and once again showed us that he is the best player in the world”.
"We have to keep this good feeling and celebrate it as we have won a title against a great team and in the farewell match of this stadium,” he concluded. | 2019-04-24T14:22:36 | https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/news/763923/josep-maria-bartomeu-luis-enrique-has-been-a-success-and-the-door-is-always-open-for-him-to-return |
We have not always been adventurous. Just a few years ago the hustle and bustle of jobs, career advancement, impressing the neighbors, etc. occupied our focus. Bringing children into our lives has opened our eyes to what matters most.
We grew up playing every sport we could sign up for and working hard in our own ways; Paige on a dairy farm feeding calves early in the morning and after school, and Colter waking up early to change pipe up on grandma’s farm.
Colter’s family was quite adventurous while he was growing up. They regularly ventured out on camp-outs, pack-trips, motorcycling, snowmobiling, shooting, skiing and more.
Paige’s family worked to squeeze fun in between crops and winter sports. She grew up going to the lake, skiing the slopes and went on an annual young women’s camp. She didn’t think much about vacations, exotic destinations or doing crazy things like rock climbing and taking three girls out in the woods.
Colter’s adventurous spirit has never died. Despite working toward his Masters of Accounting and Paige on her Doctor of Pharmacy, Colter became a pilot, both were certified in scuba, and mountain bikes became necessary after discovering the incredible trails less than a mile from campus.
When our girls came along, adventures took somewhat of a change in style, but we satisfied our itch with Sunday hikes or walks. Weekly excursions became the habit and the time spent actively exploring and creating memories has been incredible.
Two lovers, from simple upbringing bound for adventure. Paige, the youngest of 9 siblings grew up in Freedom, WY only 25 miles from where Colter, the oldest of 7 siblings grew up. It was middle-school when the two met but not until Colter’s sophomore year did the crush meet paths and they went out for the first time. It was after the first hot “date”…with Paige’s parents…that the two awkward young lovebirds (future lovebirds) went out. Colter, being the “gentleman” he is, asked to kiss Paige. The awkward kiss happened but it wasn’t too soon…5 years later that the two shared a renewed romance. Paige points out that Colter didn’t talk to her after the kiss. It is arguably true but, well, ok there is no defending that Colter’s pride may have been slightly damaged when his awkward request didn’t end up being the silky, smooth kiss-kiss, smooch-smooch he had envisioned. But in the end, who cares? The two live a life that is full of challenges, adventure and is fulfilling.
Colter returned from full-time missionary service to Brazil in 2007 and then through miracles ended up at Western Wyoming Community College, where he began to woo the girls, basketball/volleyball teams alike but was again quickly enamored with Paige after a shared spaghetti dinner and a movie where it only became logical that the two would hold hands and resume a relationship that would change their lives and create a lifestyle unimaginable by both. We hope you will enjoy seeing, finding and engaging as we share our journey before and after our continued romance in 2008. Please comment, provide feedback and share with us who you are and how our relationship, our focus on our businesses, investments and wealth and ability/inability to balance a healthy lifestyle in the meantime can improve your life and help you find the fulfilment life has to offer.
Thank you for being a part of our Simple Meets Adventure family. | 2019-04-25T08:47:12 | https://www.simplemeetsadventure.com/aboutus/ |

Accessibility is one of our key objectives. We shall have a flat organisational structure, ensuring you as a member easy access to union leaders. This is simply because you are the reason we are doing this. We are an organisation made up of and for employees in the energy sector. You may take part in influencing upon and developing «your own » organisation in this community.
Striking power is required to resist the increasing cynicism seen in business life, which in our view is an expression of the globalisation of the Norwegian economy. International players are adopting international ways of running their business – and often these regimes set back the rights of Norwegian employees several decades.
Companies have become stock exchange profiteers, where everything is a matter of optimum profits. Current profit requirements often lead to labour becoming the balancing items in the accounts. That is why a potent organisation is needed, an organisation that can fight for the safety of the individual, and against temporary labour and employment contracts.
What about the «old» OFS?
Thanks to the previous organisation, OFS, oil workers in the Norwegian offshore sectors are now enjoying very good working conditions and terms!
This is not something claimed by «old» OFS people alone, it is a widely accepted fact. SAFE will build on the results achieved through the joint efforts and experiences of these members. You are invited to join this community and develop it further. Bear in mind; an organisation is as good as its members make it! | 2019-04-25T16:47:22 | https://safe.no/english-information/what-is-safe/ |
Joseph Comellas, a 32 year resident of Santa Fe, New Mexico was born in Upstate New York. The frequent trips to the museums and galleries in New York City, influenced Joseph at an early age to study art and begin a life long journey as a professional artist. Then at the age of 15, Joseph moved with his family to Austin Texas. There in 1974, Joseph met famed artist, Amado Pena and a long term apprenticeship was formed. Joseph began selling his artwork professionally in galleries and traveled with Peña to art shows throughout Texas at the ages of 16 to 20. He attended, Southwest Texas State University on a full paid art scholarship from the Beard Foundation.
It was in 1982, when Joseph moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico after being drawn here on a previous visit with Pena in 1979. He continued to further his education, attending classes at The College of Santa Fe.
By 1985 Joseph was showing and selling his art in art galleries and shows throughout the American Southwest. Comellas’ art has been displayed in galleries in Santa Fe, Taos, Sedona, Scottsdale, through out Texas and primarily here in Santa Fe, is where he has built an international following of collectors in over 13 countries. This vibrant audience is truly a blessing in the art and life of Joseph Comellas. The longevity in the market has allowed for a constant development and growth as an artist and from that a unique body of art has emerged.
The American Southwest landscape with all its unique shapes, organic forms and dramatic lighting defines the painting of Joseph Comellas. These paintings that depict mountains, mesas and buttes, arroyos and rivers flown with abundant water speak volumes about that sense of place and peoples journey through that place in time and history.
As a colorist these paintings are created to resonate and lift the spirits of the viewer. As the light changes so do the paintings in magical ways that continue to delight on a daily basis. The shapes in the greater body of art has in themselves developed the identity of the paintings. There is a language in the shapes, a stillness and peacefulness that comes from that sense of place and belonging. The beautifully designed shapes welcomes the viewer iinto the paintings. There is light and joy in the use of color. | 2019-04-26T10:19:57 | http://comellasgallery.com/?page_id=487 |
LevinTV is marking the 16th anniversary of September 11th with a special episode, available free on CRTV.
Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin interviews activist Debra Burlingame, sister of Charles “Chic” Burlingame III, the pilot of American Airlines Flight 77 that was hijacked and flown into the Pentagon in 2001.
Burlingame tells Levin why it is more critical than ever to relive the memories and emotions of 9/11.
Burlingame shared her thoughts on how America today seems to lack the “moral rectitude” we had just a short few years ago, when first confronted with the reality of terrorism.
Her message to other 9/11 families, to the whole nation, is that here — in America — we have freedom, our one defining characteristic.
And we can never give up fighting for America, to preserve that freedom.
The episode will air tonight at 9 p.m. ET, free on CRTV. | 2019-04-25T00:12:49 | https://www.conservativereview.com/news/mark-levin-interviews-debra-burlingame-for-9-11-special/ |
Ear Piercing Names | What Do They Mean?
With well over 20 different styles of ear piercings to choose from, it’s understandably difficult to decipher between similar ear piercing names. From traditional earlobe piercings to cartilage piercings and beyond, here are some simple ways to remember different ear piercing names.
The earlobe is the most popular type of piercing for both men and women and is typically where people choose to start in their piercing journey. The earlobe is softer than other parts of the ear, making it the best ear piercing location for beginners.
Using the Inverness System, there are two ear piercing names to remember for the lobe: Standard Lobe Piercing and Upper Lobe Piercing.
The word standard can also mean typical or regular. This is the most common place we see ear piercings.
Finally, there’s the Graduated Lobe Piercing. Graduated is defined as “to arrange in a series or according to a scale.” Graduated ear piercings are popular because they allow for multiple piercings of varying sizes to be pierced along the earlobe.
Before we get into piercings, let’s talk about the cartilage itself. Cartilage is the connective tissue that forms the structure of your ears, nose and other areas around your ribs. On the ears specifically, cartilage is the strong, flexible tissue located in the upper portion of the ear and differs from the earlobe primarily in that is has a limited blood supply.
Cartilage piercings are very popular and can also be graduated.
The Inverness Ear Piercing System is used to pierce the outer cartilage only, which is located between the helix and antihelix of the ear. The number of cartilage piercings a person can have depends on the size and shape of their ear.
If you have any questions, we’re always happy to answer questions at Inverness. Please visit our website to learn more. | 2019-04-23T23:56:10 | http://invernesscorp.com/ear-piercing-names/ |

Hundreds of My Favorite Songs from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's.
Practice reading English with the Lyrics of the songs and stories of the singers and bands at www.mikiemetric.com .
Grammar is the set of rules for using a language.
A sentence is a group of words that express a complete thought or idea. A sentence always begins with a CAPITAL letter and ends with a Period ( . ), a Question mark ( ? ) or an Exclamation point ( ! ).
Every sentence has two main parts: a SUBJECT, and a PREDICATE.
went to the store and bought new gloves.
pulled the carts into town and around the square.
By looking at the examples above, can you tell what Subjects and Predicates are?
Subject: Who or what a sentence is about; who or what does something in a sentence; any words that tell about or describe the main subject.
NOTE: There are words called Linking Verbs that are always part of the Predicate but do not show any action. The most common ones are AM, IS, ARE, WAS, WERE, BE, BEING, BEEN. They tell about the existence of something or someone, not what someone or something does. They are called Linking Verbs because they link the subject to a word or words in the predicate that mean the same as the subject or that describe the subject. To learn more about Linking Verbs, click HERE.
Predicate: What happens in a sentence; who or what it happens to; words that tell when, where, why or how the action happens; words that describe who or what the action happens to.
What kind of words can be part of the subject?
Articles: Point out nouns; signal that a noun is close ahead in a sentence. Nouns can be used without an article, but articles can never be used without a noun.
Adjectives: Describe nouns. They tell what kind, which one, how many, what size, what color a noun is.
Nouns: Any word that names something is a noun. The name of a person, a place, a thing, an idea, an emotion, or an activity is a noun. If it is a particular person, place or thing (George, New York, Cadillac), it is a Proper Noun and must be written with a capital letter. If it is a general name (man, city, automobile), it is a common noun with no capital letter.
Not all of these parts need to be in a subject, but all of them may be. This is how, using parts from the box above... (predicates will be in parentheses ).
What are Predicates made of?
Verbs: Words that describe or name an action; words that describe a state of being or existence. Every predicate must have a verb. Verbs also tell us when something happens or exists - in the past, the present or the future.
Adverbs: Adverbs modify (add to the meaning of) verbs. They describe when, where, why or how something happens. Adverbs can also modify adjectives and other adverbs.
Examples of Predicates. (Subjects are in parentheses ).
(She) quickly threw the ball to her teammate.
Before halftime, (she) quickly threw the ball to her teammate.
Sentences can have one word or one hundred words, but every sentence must have a subject and a predicate. Here are several examples.
Exercise A: Draw a circle around the subjects and underline the predicates in the sentences below.
1. Yesterday, Harvey and Harriet took their children to the zoo.
2. The elephants, the lions, and all of the other animals were hungry.
3. The president of the bank looked everywhere for the combination to the vault.
5. The red race car with yellow stripes finished last in the race.
6. After his speech, the mayor shook hands with members of the crowd.
Exercise B: Match a subject with a predicate from the box below and write the complete sentences on the lines.
stood outside the hotel all night.
prowled through the dark alley.
lived in the attic last winter.
was from the Middle East.
waited patiently for his victim.
c. 2018 Montoursville, PA 17754 Music from the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's and 1980's, with links to bios and lyrics.
1. Yesterday, (Harvey and Harriet) took their children to the zoo.
2. (The elephants, the lions, and all of the other animals) were hungry.
3. (The president of the bank) looked everywhere for the combination to the vault.
5. (The red race car with yellow stripes) finished last in the race.
6. After his speech, (the mayor) shook hands with members of the crowd.
Exercise B: Answers will vary. Here are some possibilities. | 2019-04-26T12:43:48 | http://www.say-it-in-english.com/BasicEnglish3.html |

After experiencing God’s love anew at Redwood Campmeeting last year, the Pleasant Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church wanted to share what they had encountered with the community surrounding their church. We covered seventeen presentations over the course of ten days which were dedicated to seeing the truth of the Character of Love through the lens of Seventh-day Adventist teaching. And what an amazing experience it was! We had over 65 visitors from the community attend, five folks accepted Jesus as their Savior for the very first time, five other folks requested more information on baptism, and eleven more signed up to continue with Bible Studies. These were responding positively to our unique teachings such as the Sabbath, the State of the Dead, Annihilation, and some of our prophetic understandings–all as a means of more deeply understanding and experiencing God’s love for us in the light of the cross. | 2019-04-26T06:59:54 | https://renewedheartministries.com/news/Pleasant-Hill-Community-Encounters-Life-Unlimited |

It’s one of the unanswered questions that has plagued humanity since the invention of the washing machine – why do we lose so many socks? And where do they go to?
It turns out that it’s not the sock fairy, or whoever tangles headphones when you’re not watching. Science now has an answer for why we lose so many socks in our lifetime.
According to new research, Britons lose 1.3 socks on average per month, or 15 a year – a whopping 1,264 in the average lifetime. Losing socks costs us on average £2528!
After surveying 2000 people, psychologist Dr. Simon Moore and statistician Geoff Ellis came up with a mathematical formula, the ‘Sock Loss Index’, which explains why we keep losing socks.
In other words, the probability of sock loss equals laundry size plus the complexity of the wash minus the level of attention being paid to the task multiplied by the person’s attitude towards doing the washing. The larger the wash, the higher the chance of losing socks.
“In simple terms the complexity of the wash load and your attention to detail during the cleaning process, are the factors with the biggest impact on sock loss,” the researchers said. | 2019-04-26T02:29:14 | https://www.womanandhome.com/life/news-entertainment/this-is-why-we-lose-so-many-socks-in-the-washing-92530/ |

Have you ever found yourself in a time that moved faster than the current, faster than the wind? In something that can only be compared to a whirlwind?
The past weeks have been… I can’t really explain it. It’s like life has been enhanced.
Intensified, brighter colors, stronger emotions.
As I’m writing this, I’m in Bucharest. Bucuresti.
Three years ago, I entered Romania at the Nadlac/Nagylak border. Things haven’t been the same since. And att that point in time I had no idea I would be here now.
It reminds me of how my life shifted when I moved to Budapest.
Budapest, who’s my home and my security.
Bucharest is my lover. And it's a passionate affair.
This shift came just two-three weeks ago.
That Wednesday when I, like a nudge from above, checked how things were going for Romania in regards to Eurovison. And to my surprise, they were open for submissions.
So I sent in a song to Eurovision Romania, the national competition to select the country’s entry to Eurovision 2017 in Kiev.
And suddenly, within a week, I was in a gorgeous TV studio, performing.
And suddenly, I was on national TV.
Suddenly, I was in an experience so big, so full of love, so exhilarating that my head still has a hard time catching up with my heart.
And this, in turn, lead to a full page article in the biggest newspaper in my region at home; a radio interview with a person I truly admire and even waking up to find a small article in Romanian about myself. Whirlwind, there's no other word.
Not only this, but simultaneously the people of Romania has risen up for democracy, for justice for all, for their future.
As a foreigner who’s planted her own roots here, I don’t have words for how much this inspires me.
So with everything combined, my love for Romania grows deeper on a daily basis right now.
During that first adventure here those years ago, I did feel called – like I was meant to be here, even though I didn’t know why. I still don’t really know why, all I know is that it feels right.
Tomorrow, Sunday, we go live around 20 here in Romania, to find out the 15 who’ll move on to the semi-finals.
No matter who go through, this has been such a glorious experience. And each person I’ve met deserve creative success, honestly I’ve been moved with how loving everyone’s been. And when we cheer for one another’s abundance and success, that’s how we create more in our own life. These past few weeks have been a testament to that.
So that's what's happening. Hope you're having your own loving whirlwind. | 2019-04-21T04:36:41 | http://www.linasanden.se/new-blog/2017/2/11/when-time-speeds-up |

Before moving forward on that beautiful swimming pool you’ve fantasized about installing for ages, it’s imperative to meet with and obtain quotes from several pool builders.
Otherwise, you may not be getting the best deal (which doesn’t necessarily mean the lowest cost — be sure to think through quality of craftsmanship, design expertise, warranties, customer service, etc.). And in order to know if you’re receiving the best value, you’ll need a full understanding of the price tag — including what is and is not covered. Be sure to look for the same items across the board, as you meet with prospective pool builders, to ensure you’re comparing apples to apples. While many companies are above board and truly want you to understand the contract you’re signing, others may try to gloss over charges or downplay fees in an effort to win your business.
Obviously, a large hole will need to be dug out in your backyard to make room for your new pool — but where does all that dirt go? Your options include spreading some or all of it around your yard and/or hauling it off your property to be disposed of. Make sure you discuss which option works best for your situation and that it’s accounted for clearly in your proposal.
Your new pool or deck may require the structural support and yard drainage retaining walls can provide. A quick way to assess: If your yard slopes, it most likely needs them; if your yard is reasonably flat, it may still need them. And retaining walls can be very pricey. Make sure your pool builder understands the landscape and includes this cost in the estimate — if you don’t end up needing it, you’ll recoup some money, which is better than not including it and finding out it later.
Pumps, lighting, additional outlets, salt chlorine generators, hot tubs, automatic covers and heat pumps — what do these all have in common? Sure, they all make owning and maintaining a pool so much more convenient, but they also run on electricity. Some pool builders will include electrical work in their bid, and others invoice it separately because the work involved varies greatly from one project to the next. While either approach is fine, it’s important to pay attention to those details when comparing bids.
Whether or not you have young children isn’t the only consideration for deciding to install or forego a fence — it may be required by your city or state and/or your insurance company. Your pool builder should be familiar with local legislation and guide you toward the appropriate solution, including any associated costs in their quote.
If you’re building a pool, chances are you’d also like a nice patio area on which to place your lounge chairs, patio furniture and grill. If that’s the case, it’s imperative to discuss your options ahead of time, including whether it will require additional concrete or materials such as tile or travertine. Either way, make sure your pool builder includes your preference in their bid.
It’s likely that this construction project could damage and even ruin a portion of your current landscaping, including grass, flower beds, and sprinkler heads. Also, if your main entrance to and from the construction site is your driveway, the sheer weight of the bulldozers and other heavy equipment could crack or damage it. Be prepared for this chaos and anticipate extra costs to seed or replace grass and repair or replace your driveway. You may also want to consider investing in more extensive landscaping such as decorative plants and rocks around your deck and pool to further enhance your new space.
Nobody likes financial surprises midway through a construction project. Once you know to look for or inquire about the aforementioned items on the proposals from your list of prospective pool builders, it will be much easier to envision your true cost for the project and plan your budget accordingly. | 2019-04-24T20:28:53 | https://www.calpool.com/hidden-costs-pool-builder-include-quote/ |

Crewe Alexandra midfielder James Jones remains a doubt for this weekend’s FA Cup tie against fellow League Two side Carlisle United after he suffered a slight hamstring injury in the week.
The former Scotland Under-21 International withdrew from the squad for the Northampton game on Thursday after reporting tightness in the muscle. Ollie Finney came into the starting XI to mark his first league start for the football club.
David Artell told the club’s official website: “James has a hamstring injury. He came in on Thursday and said there was a problem with his hamstring.
The boss also revealed that we have permission from Liverpool to play Corey Whelan in the FA Cup if selected. | 2019-04-21T14:48:22 | https://www.crewealex.net/news/2018/november/jones-remains-doubt-for-fa-cup/ |
Dr Ludovic Highman outlines the potential impact of Brexit on academics at UK universities and shows that UK universities are highly dependent on EU academic staff.
In the briefing, Dr Highman highlights the proportion and distribution of EU academics in UK universities. He points out that many non-UK EU academics are employed in fields where the domestic pool of candidates is insufficient.
Dr Highman shows that EU citizens make up almost one fifth (over one third in some subjects) of all academics working at UK universities. In universities with the greatest research power and funding, particularly those belonging to the Russell Group, this rises to a quarter.
As with EU students, London and Scotland are the top destinations for EU academics. Northern Ireland also scores highly given its large number of Irish academic staff.
Dr Highman shows that the highest proportions of EU academic staff are found in nations and cities that voted Remain, suggesting EU populations in these areas are perceived as having a beneficial impact.
He concludes that restrictions to freedom of movement caused by Brexit could pose a severe threat to the quality and reputation of UK universities.
The briefing draws on CGHE’s research project, Brexit, trade, migration and higher education, which is part of The UK in a Changing Europe initiative. It focuses on UK higher education institutions’ perceptions of and responses to Brexit and associated challenges.
The Brexit White Paper: what does it mean for higher education and research?
The UK in the global student market: second place for how much longer?
How are the public goods of internationalisation of higher education viewed in Japan?
The UK’s participation in Horizon Europe: caught in a game of high politics?
Are EU university academics leaving the UK because of Brexit?
What are the challenges facing the Asian academic profession?
Does academic self-concept predict further and higher education participation?

Permanently capitalizing the P in Presumptive Nominee, the Texas primary shoved Mitt Romney right over the delegate precipice, and now with the nomination locked up tighter than a rusted pickle jar 20,000 leagues beneath the sea, the campaign has taken a sudden turn towards the nebulous. Ambiguous Ville. Candidates don’t make mistakes in the murky bog of summer. Even when they do, the atmosphere is too hazy to notice.
One advantage to this smoky shapeless strategy is it plays directly to the man’s strengths. The former governor of Massachusetts doesn’t have what you might call an actual distinct personality. He’s more of a virgin canvas. A good- looking blank slate onto which any number of convictions and philosophies can be believably projected. He’s the coloring- book and we voters the crayons. And no fighting over who gets to be burnt sienna.
One of the major pitfalls inherent to this kind of approach is the strong jawed father of five strapping boys just might play the part too well and come to epitomize what Gertrude Stein said about Oakland: “There’s no there there.” The guy makes a void look cluttered.
Nobody in the GOP wants to be associated in any way with Oakland, much less have the top of the ticket become a patron saint. The Potmekin Candidate needs to project a quality more substantial than some shape shifter with a supernatural ability to assume the identity of whoever or whatever they plant next to him. Probably why you don’t see many Romney rallies held at zoos. Too afraid he’ll pose next to the chameleon cage and turn all green.
Another potential mine in the Road to Tampa is the struggle to keep Willard from hanging out with the wrong crowd. You know, other Republicans. Especially distressing to see him palling around with Donald Trump. Again, Like being photographed at a clown convention. No matter how hard you try, some of that white face is bound to wipe off on the shoulders of even the most ghostly of political shadows.
Donald Trump: a man who is to sober judgment what chocolate covered marshmallows are to quantum physics. Fueling more fickle furnaces that suspect he’ll say or do anything to get to 50.1%, Romney refuses to criticize The Donald, even when the reality show host spouts further Birther nonsense. “Obama was born in Kenya.” No, he wasn’t. He was born in Honolulu. In a manger. Everybody knows that.
Although when you think about it, the Oxymormon needs to pick a vice president who makes him look presidential, and The Donald might be the perfect choice. Next to him, Lou Ferrigno looks Presidential. Manny Ramirez. Some random guy in a banana suit twirling a sign. | 2019-04-24T04:50:30 | http://www.modernwriters.org/focus/analysis/19335-the-potemkin-candidate.html |
As we wrap up the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew year, I’ve received some pretty fun stuff to review with Charlotte from Fundanoodle. I received I Can Cut, I Can Do Math Level 1, and Max and Alphie’s Adventure Level 1, all part of the “Orange” level for 3 year olds, or preschool level.
Charlotte turned three last week – partway through the review. While it was obvious she was a beginner learning these skills (and her I Can Cut! Activity Book looks like a slight massacre has maimed it for life) she had a BLAST doing these books. Thrilled with the concept of “doing school” alongside her older siblings, she took her work with an incredibly serious attitude and worked her little heart out on these. She did 1-3 pages per school day in each book, and they took her usually 5-10 minutes per book, depending on how meticulous she decided to be.
The I Can Cut! Activity Book was by far her favorite, complete with the pair of safety all-plastic scissors that came with the book. While I didn’t check to see if they cut hair, I don’t think they will. They’re pretty perfect for a first pair of scissors. She cut up those pages to pieces, sometimes more accurately than others, but her ability to hold and control scissors greatly improved as she went. The other two books I received cover counting, patterns, and looking at pictures to find missing objects. She didn’t get the concept at the beginning. (When told to circle all the houses, she circled ALL of the houses. And everything else on the page – with one GIANT circle. Talk about the letter of the law more than the spirit of it!) Now, several weeks later, she takes to the directions like a pro – and I learned to demonstrate my desires just a little bit more clearly!
The I Can Do Math! Activity Book was a little bit above Charlie’s head. Attributing a number to a single object is something she’s still learning, and despite trying to get her to count objects and give each a number, to find which square had more, etc., she really didn’t get this. She, however, did not realize she wasn’t getting it and had a fabulous time in the meantime. I learned to let it go, give her the instructions, and let her do it wrong. It’ll be okay.
The stickers… oh, the stickers. Charlotte loved finding the “right” sticker for the page and placing it, ever so carefully, exactly in the right spot. There’s nothing wrong with her hand-eye coordination, for certain. Her sticker placement was exact and perfect. She never, ever forgot to grab her sticker to mark the page completed. These were quite possibly her favorite part of the two books (I Can Do Math! and Max and Alphie’s Adventures!) that contained them. Such fun.
When Charlotte saw me working on this review, and saw photos of “her school”, she was concerned she wouldn’t get to keep it. Suffice it to say, she really, really has enjoyed these books and will continue to do them each day.
All three of the books I received are 9” x 12”. I Can Cut! Cutting Activity Book contains 40 worksheets and is $7.99, I Can Do Math! Level 1 contains 40 pages plus sticker sheets containing a sticker reward for each page and is $5.99, and Max and Alphie’s Adventures! Activity book contains 40 pages plus stickers for $5.99.
To read more reviews of these books, more Orange level books and other levels and books offered by Fundanoodle, visit the Review Crew Blog.
Sounds like she did pretty well for a 3 year old. My 22 month old great granddaughter loves stickers too. She just puts them in a blank book anyway she wants too right now. Haha!!!
I love her enthusiasm! Thanks for sharing!
What wonderful and thorough review! Thank you so much for writing about us. I love that she improved with the scissors over time! It definitely takes practice. I also love the fact that she circled everything in one big circle! Too funny! We’re glad you enjoyed our products and hope you will continue using Fundanoodle! | 2019-04-24T00:50:14 | https://abiglittlefamily.com/2013/10/tos-review-fundanoodle/ |
As a music maker or songwriter, you might struggle to find inspiration when you sit down to write a song. Don’t worry, it’s completely normal to get writer’s block. Maybe you’re having trouble creating the perfect lyrics, or perhaps that chord progression isn’t resolving the way you want it to.
If this is the case, you may need some inspiration. Did you know that professional songwriters use other tracks as references for their own songs all the time? Songwriters constantly draw inspiration from other music. Sometimes they might even pay homage to one of their favourite songs by writing a lyric that references their favourite song, though you should know that listening to reference MP3s can be a great way to create new chords as well.
Referencing a track is not the same as copying a track, and copying someone else’s music is completely different from referencing a track. When you reference an MP3, you should pay attention to melodies, chords, drums, and other important sound design elements. While you should come up with something unique and original, there’s nothing wrong with drawing inspiration from a track you like.
When you reference a track, you should listen closely to all of the elements of the song. What are the lyrics saying? What key is the song in? What are the chords? How does the rhythm help the song move forward? As you ask yourself these questions, you can learn quite a lot about your reference track. You may never have listened to your favourite track so closely, so you might hear new parts for the first time.
When a songwriter picks a reference track, they often pick something similar to the kind of music they’d like to make. For instance, pop music writers reference pop music, jazz musicians listen to jazz, and so on, but it can be very useful to draw inspiration from other types of music.
As a pop writer, maybe you’d like to try drawing inspiration from gospel music, or world music. Bringing gospel and world elements into your song can give it a fresh sound, and it might inspire more creativity for you during the writing process. For example, Christian music is beautiful, traditional, and full of cool gospel chords that pop music doesn’t normally use. You can find Christian album songs MP3 online, and they are perfect for referencing when you’re writing your own style of music, whether it’s pop, jazz, or alternative music.
Pop music currently draws inspiration from a lot of world music as well. Tropical and Latin sounds are extremely popular all over the world, but there are plenty of other types of world music you can draw inspiration from. For example, African music is soulful, full of rhythm, and passionate. You might find something useful to draw inspiration from when you listen to music from other cultures.
People draw inspiration from all different types of music. If you’re struggling to finish your song, you should take a break and listen to some reference tracks. Referencing music can inspire creativity and keep you away from writer’s block. | 2019-04-18T17:18:44 | http://www.mp3kara.com/types-of-music-you-can-draw-inspiration-from.html |

CSU StudentsAbroad.com - Study Abroad Handbook Czech Republic: Who Runs your Program?
In this section, you will learn how to better understand who runs your program, and whether it is closely connected with your U.S. home university. Before deciding on a study abroad program in the Czech Republic, it's important to identify what kind of relationship your U.S. College or University has with your study abroad program; essentially, you want to know who is "in charge," and who will help you if you need assistance.
Home University Owned and Operated: A U.S. college or university usually operates facilities and programs in the Czech Republic as if they were extensions of its U.S. campus. It employs some or all of a program's academic/administrative staff in the Czech Republic and owns, leases, controls or operates some or all of a program facilities and operations in the Czech Republic. Staff and facilities in the Czech Republic vary greatly from a one–person office to a comprehensive campus.
Home University Partnerships: A study abroad program is a result of a cooperative arrangement or agreement between a U.S. college or university and one or more educational institutions or organizations in the Czech Republic. This allows a U.S. university to send its students on programs owned and operated by a U.S. or a foreign college, university or independent program provider.
Independent Student: Students find and enroll in programs independent of their college or university. In some cases, students will remain enrolled at their U.S. home campus, using their financial aid. In other cases, students will be required to take a leave of absence. Upon return, students may or may not receive credit for study completed in the Czech Republic.
Individual Faculty/Staff Travel Study Program: An individual faculty or staff member from a U.S. home campus, who has no permanent office in the Czech Republic, accompanies a group of students for many of the short term and summer programs offered.
Hybrid Programs: Many study abroad programs are mixtures of the four previously mentioned types of programs. For example, your home university may have an administrative office in the Czech Republic, but a Czech institution may offer courses and housing, and an independent program provider may arrange excursions.
Foreign University Programs: Students directly enroll in the courses offered by a Czech college or university. Czech colleges and universities offer varying levels of services and support.
U.S. University Abroad: Students can enroll in other U.S. universities' programs in the Czech Republic with which their U.S. home university has a formal agreement.
Independent Program Providers: Many study abroad providers are neither colleges nor universities, but are solely in the business of providing study abroad programs. Programs vary from well–staffed organizations with offices in the United States and the Czech Republic to a one–person office anywhere in the world.
Hybrid Program Providers: Many study abroad program providers are mixtures of the three previously mentioned types of program providers. For instance, your U.S. college or university may have an administrative office in the Czech Republic, while courses and housing may be offered by a Czech college or university, and excursions may be arranged by an independent program provider.
After you understand who runs your study abroad program in the Czech Republic and whether it is closely connected with your U.S. home university, the next step should involve a review of whether the level of support services both in the United States and in the Czech Republic will meet your needs. Remember that there is no national organization that regulates the quality and certifies any minimum standard for study abroad programs. For this reason, it would be wise to take an active role in evaluating a program prior to participating in it. It is important to look at the many types of activities provided by your program. | 2019-04-21T02:54:34 | http://csustudentsabroad.com/handbook/who-runs-your-program.php?country=Czech%20Republic |
This lecture presents some examples of Hypothesis testing, focusing on tests of hypothesis about the variance, that is, on using a sample to perform tests of hypothesis about the variance of an unknown distribution.
In this example we make the same assumptions we made in the example of set estimation of the variance entitled Normal IID samples - Known mean. The reader is strongly advised to read that example before reading this one.
The sample is made of independent draws from a normal distribution having known mean and unknown variance . Specifically, we observe realizations , ..., of independent random variables , ..., , all having a normal distribution with known mean and unknown variance . The sample is the -dimensional vector , which is a realization of the random vector .
The test statistic is This test statistic is often called Chi-square statistic (also written as -statistic) and a test of hypothesis based on this statistic is called Chi-square test (also written as -test).
Let and . We reject the null hypothesis if or if . In other words, the critical region is Thus, the critical values of the test are and .
The power function of the test is where is a Chi-square random variable with degrees of freedom and the notation is used to indicate the fact that the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis is computed under the hypothesis that the true variance is equal to .
The power function can be written as where we have defined As demonstrated in the lecture entitled Point estimation of the variance, the estimator has a Gamma distribution with parameters and , given the assumptions on the sample we made above. Multiplying a Gamma random variable with parameters and by one obtains a Chi-square random variable with degrees of freedom. Therefore, the variable has a Chi-square distribution with degrees of freedom.
When evaluated at the point , the power function is equal to the probability of committing a Type I error, i.e., the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true. This probability is called the size of the test and it is equal to where is a Chi-square random variable with degrees of freedom (this is trivially obtained by substituting with in the formula for the power function found above).
This example is similar to the previous one. The only difference is that we now relax the assumption that the mean of the distribution is known.
The power function of the test is where the notation is used to indicate the fact that the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis is computed under the hypothesis that the true variance is equal to and has a Chi-square distribution with degrees of freedom.
The power function can be written as where we have defined Given the assumptions on the sample we made above, the unadjusted sample variance has a Gamma distribution with parameters and (see Point estimation of the variance), so that the random variable has a Chi-square distribution with degrees of freedom.
The size of the test is equal to where has a Chi-square distribution with degrees of freedom (this is trivially obtained by substituting with in the formula for the power function found above).
Denote by the distribution function of a Chi-square random variable with degrees of freedom. Suppose you observe independent realizations of a normal random variable. What is the probability, expressed in terms of , that you will commit a Type I error if you run a Chi-square test of the null hypothesis that the variance is equal to , based on the observed realizations, and choosing and as the critical values?
Make the same assumptions of the previous exercise and denote by the inverse of . Change the critical value in such a way that the size of the test becomes exactly equal to .
Make the same assumptions of Exercise 1 above. If the unadjusted sample variance is equal to 0.9, is the null hypothesis rejected?
In order to carry out the test, we need to compute the test statistic where is the sample size, is the value of the variance under the null hypothesis, and is the unadjusted sample variance.
Thus, the value of the test statistic is Since and , we have that In other words, the test statistic does not exceed the critical values of the test. As a consequence, the null hypothesis is not rejected. | 2019-04-18T11:15:47 | https://statlect.com/fundamentals-of-statistics/hypothesis-testing-variance |

Modern data analysis platforms all too often rely on the fact that the application and underlying data flow are static. That is, such platforms generally do not implement the capabilities to update individual components of running pipelines without restarting the pipeline, and they rely on data sources to remain unchanged while they are being used. However, in reality these assumptions do not hold: data scientists come up with new methods to analyze data all the time, and data sources are almost by definition dynamic. Companies performing data science analyses either need to accept the fact that their pipeline goes down during an update, or they should run a duplicate setup of their often costly infrastructure that continues the pipeline operations.
In this research we present the Evolutionary Changes in Data Analysis (ECiDA) platform, with which we show how evolution and data science can go hand in hand. ECiDA aims to bridge the gap that is present between engineers that build large scale computation platforms on the one hand, and data scientists that perform analyses on large quantities of data on the other, while making change a first-class citizen. ECiDA allows data scientists to build their data science pipelines on scalable infrastructures, and make changes to them while they remain up and running. Such changes can range from parameter changes in individual pipeline components to general changes in network topology. Changes may also be initiated by an ECiDA pipeline itself as part of a diagnostic response: for instance, it may dynamically replace a data source that has become unavailable with one that is available. To make sure the platform remains in a consistent state while performing these updates, ECiDA uses a set of automatic formal verification methods, such as constraint programming and AI planning, to transparently check the validity of updates and prevent undesired behavior.
In earlier work, we showed that an initial implementation of ECiDA on top of the Apache Spark ecosystem performed well and introduced an acceptable amount of overhead to the data pipeline [@Lazovik2016; @Albers2018]. The platform is built in collaboration with a large, Dutch water company and is developed with their use cases in mind. ECiDA will, for example, be used to (i) improve water distribution monitoring and automation, (ii) enable the prediction of water quality, and (iii) determine structural reliability of pipes in order to perform predictive maintenance. These use cases emphasize different aspects and a variety of issues that might arise in a practical setting, and ensure ECiDA is built as a generic data science solution, which should therefore be applicable to any data science project. | 2019-04-22T10:49:50 | https://netlify.frbl.eu/publications/2019/03/20/ecida-evolutionary-changes-in-data-analysis.html |
The principles outlined in Lighting and Glare apply to every part of your living space. The kitchen, however, is one room that obviously requires special attention. Here you'll find organizational tips and suggestions for a few simple steps you can take to make kitchen chores easier and safer. For tips on food preparation and cooking, see Cooking & Meals.
Prepare labels in advance based on your shopping list. A self-adhesive label, marked with large print, tactile dots, or whatever works best for you, is easy to apply.
Use varying numbers of rubber bands to distinguish one type of product from another—two bands for mixed fruits, three for green vegetables, four for sauces, etc.
Label cans the same day they arrive from the store, before you put them away. Ask a family member or neighbor to help you identify the contents of each can.
Three different systems for labeling your canned foods: rubberbands, large-print labels, and a magnet shaped like the food inside the can.
You can obtain the labels mentioned in this article from a variety of sources.
Try to make sure every item is always put away after use in the same designated place.
Get rid of clutter and dispose of seldom-used and expired items.
Organize utensils in drawers with a method that makes sense to you (for example, forks on the left, spoons to the immediate right …).
Make sure knives are put in a separate location from other utensils.
Put most frequently used pots and pans in a specific location such as on a pegboard within easy reach, or in a cupboard near the stove.
Develop a system to organize foods on cupboard shelves and in the refrigerator so that every type of food has its designated place.
It is often very difficult to see the dials on a stove and other appliances. There are products that can help. Bump (tactile) dots or 3D pens (also known as Hi-Mark pens) are durable and effective markers. You can mark stovetops or the oven dial at the point you use most. When using ovens, for example, 350 degrees is a common setting for baking. Place a mark above the dial then turn the knob until the mark on the dial matches the one on the stove. Also, if you're in the market for a new oven, look for a brand that automatically sets the oven to 350 degrees when turned on.
Tactile dots can be placed on your stovetop controls to indicate settings.
Mark all other appliances and appliance features you plan to use (refrigerator temperature and water and ice dispensers, dishwasher, microwave, etc.) Some microwaves come with a braille overlay or large-print labels that can be ordered from the manufacturer.
Use tactile, colored markings to identify water and ice controls on a refrigerator.
When purchasing small appliances, look for items that have tactile settings or large-print displays.
Note: Flat-panel appliances are becoming more and more common and are harder to mark. For information on this topic, read the AccessWorld® article, Access in the Kitchen: An Update on Home Appliances.

Forecasted were gusts up to 25 knots, but winds stayed calm in the morning, in the afternoon under 15 knots. But the seas went clearly up, some nasty swells were breaking on the cliffs. Our bay stayed more or less calm-ish.
I did a long cliff hike today, quite impressive coast! Lisa didn’t find much energy for a longer hike and turned around early. No wonder, by her regular breakfast consisting of coffee only, and maybe one energy bar later…there is nothing but oats in the morning. The scenery is rugged, the surface covered with lose sharp rocks. One has to take very much care not to slip, or some bad abrasion of skin would be following. I took that care, and rather went down on all four, if necessary. Some cactus, some low bushes, some petty solid agave plants, otherwise only sharp lose rocks everywhere. We saw one fox or wild dog on the beach today, some mouse holes, a few lizards, that’s about it on the animal side. Shells allover the rocks, carried up by birds?, pretty abalone, twirly mussels and solid white clam shells.
I was back for lunch, cooked some noodles, and rested for a while, before I decided it’s so low wind and warm-ish today, I could now start to dye my gray roots of my hair…thought and done, and I started the messy job inside my tent. Lisa was of some assistance to take care about not having too much stains allover face and body and tent. When it came to rinsing time, I was hoping I wouldn’t come back out of the sea as a dark skinned person 🙂 The waves were prestty big, and I actually enjoyed the dip for a long while. The water is warm, maybe 20 deerees! Some good freshwater rinse, some good conditioner, and my hair was colorful and shiny again. | 2019-04-23T03:57:45 | http://freyahoffmeister.com/north-america/na-sec-1-north/fri-23-11-2018-day-318/ |
Mila Teshaieva (b. 1974) uses photography to understand driving forces for constructed societies from the point of view of a curious researcher. She is working passionately to go over and further develop the traditions of the long form of storytelling, and in so doing, to draw attention to her subject matter through new powerful, innovative and resourceful ways. Her work often combines in-depth scientific research with special esthetics and opens new layers for a viewer to reevaluate the mechanisms, which construct nations, modify memories and thus invisibly influence our being.
Since 2004 Mila has been engaged into long-term projects on the territories of former USSR, in particular, she dedicated many years working in the Caucasus and Caspian Sea region. This work has resulted in her first monograph Promising Waters that was published with Kehrer Verlag in 2013, and book “Faces and Stories of Entrepreneurs”, which she was commissioned and published by Swiss Development and Cooperation in 2015.
Mila’s work has received multiple distinctions for her work, among them 1st prize in NPPA Best of Photojournalism 2010, Critical Mass Book Award and PDN Photo Annual and appeared on the pages of Courier International, British Journal of Photography, Time Magazine Lightbox, among many others.
Her projects were exhibited internationally, with the most recent solo exhibitions in Museum Art of West Coast (Föhr 2016), Haggerty Museum of Art (USA 2015), Blue Sky Gallery (USA 2015) Photoquai Biennial 2015 and are kept in multiple public and private collections.

Blending a feminine silhouette with performance features, this sun-repelling skort features soft Omni-Freeze briefs which consist of specially shaped flat yarns that facilitate the release of heat to keep you comfortable and ultra-agile during active warm spring and summer days.
Women's Silver Ridge™ Skort is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 24.
Rated 5 out of 5 by dickandjane from This skort is perfect for the summer. Although this skort is a bit short for me, it is pretty much exactly what it says it is. The fit is perfect and the colour vibrant.
Rated 5 out of 5 by enggirl from great alternative to shorts! I really like the lightweight material, light and stretchy shorts underneath, and the useful pockets with mesh that aren't bulky. Shorts don't suit me, this skort is a great! I received several compliments first time I wore it.
Rated 5 out of 5 by usmcwife from Product overall was excellent & well made I am so impressed with the fit, material used, & comfort of this product. I ended up buying it in 2 colors & wish they had it in more.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cynthiatheshopper from LOVE THIS SKORT! I absolutely love this skort to wear for casual, dress it up, golf, tennis. Great pockets, very comfortable. The inner shorts are the perfect material, more like underwear then shorts underneath. Not sure why so many reviews say this skort runs small, I wear an 8 and ordered a 10 which is OK, but a little big around the waist. A few reviews said it is too short, I think it is a bit too long. I am 5'7", and an athletic 150lbs, 42 years old. Pockets on this are wonderful also! Very flattering fit in the front and back. Again, love it!!!!!!!!!!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cher66 from Great comfortable anytime wear...Columbia...please make in black and brown ;o) I bought this for hiking as an alternative to shorts. I love them, the only thing is climbing over trees that might be over the trail, you really have to hike it up to get over but that's a rare occurrence. I now have three pair of these and two are size six, one is an 8. I like how the 8s feel around my middle. I'm 5'4 and 136-140....but even at 144 the 6s are ok, maybe just a bit more comfy with the top button undone. I wear these all the time, hikes and just weekends around the house.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aqwa76 from Love! I love this skort! It is a great fit, cute and stylish. I wish the pocket was a bit bigger to fit my phone in it. Very comfortable, I live in it!
Rated 5 out of 5 by stubenrouc from Great for golf I love this as it is shorter than most golf styles!
Rated 4 out of 5 by tmurf from Loved the old style I currently own two of these skorts and love them. One was purchased three years ago and the second, less than two years ago. I purchase the third one to take on a cruise. I was disappointed that the sizing and length of skort had changed. The size was smaller now than in what I currently own. The length is short enough for a tennis skirt. These skorts were a stable in my summer and vacation wardrobes. Golf, luncheons, running errands, or zip lining. Please bring back old style. | 2019-04-21T22:44:35 | https://www.columbiasportswear.ca/en/womens-silver-ridge-skort-AL4006.html |

It wasn't uncommon, 10 years or so ago, to see slip-on sunglasses that were simply just smoked lenses and a clip that could attach to most any pair of prescription glasses. While the slip-on prosthetic sunglasses didn't always fit well, or even cover the whole lens, it was a field-expedient solution to too much sun in one's eyes. Sony, meanwhile, appears to have taken that ball and ran with it, bringing out a detachable organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display designed to turn most any pair of glasses into fully-fledged smartglasses.
The detachable OLED display is still in the prototype stage,currently known as SmartEyeglass Attach!. But what it has is a very novel prospect; simply take the detachable OLED and attach it to a desired pair of glasses, at the stem. With the device in place, it can then route information to the display presented right in the viewer's line of sight, just like Google Glass would do.
The device weighs just 40 grams, at last report, which makes it readily attached to just about any pair of glasses, and is counterbalanced somewhat by a band that goes around the back of a user's head. On the right side, a control board includes a processor, a sensor hub, Bluetooth modules and Wi-Fi modules to allow for connectivity, an electronic compass, an accelerometer, a hefty 16 gigabytes of storage, and even a touch sensor to select among displayed information. The display itself measures just 0.23 inches, which Sony notes to be among the world's smallest, yet still managing to offer up a healthy 640 x 400 resolution. That's actually a small improvement over Google Glass at 640 x 360.
Release dates for the system are somewhat up in the air at this point, but a prototype of SmartEyeglass Attach! is said to be being readied for show at CES 2015 in Las Vegas. Reports also suggest plans are in the works for software development kits (SDKs) for developers, and the devices can be adapted for a number of uses ranging from entertainment to the workplace.
This is a novel concept, and if Sony can keep the prices low, it may just have a Google Glass-killer on its hands. Why? Because one of the biggest issues with Google Glass, at least outside of the workplace, was its sheer potential for intrusiveness. Google Glass was banned from bars and movie theaters thanks to its recording potential, and some lawmakers focused, perhaps unduly, on the distraction factor of using such devices while driving. But with something like SmartEyeglass Attach!, the objections are largely lost. Users can take off and put on the display as needed, and that takes a lot of teeth out of the matter. Of course, there still needs to be specific controls for driving—smartglasses can be a huge help while driving just as much as a huge danger, depending on how the devices are used—but most anywhere that might object to the constant use of such devices can hardly object when the smart part of the glasses are easily removed. Plus, while Google Glass is looking into designer frames, Sony's SmartEyeglass Attach!, meanwhile, can augment any pair of glasses, allowing for immediate access to every designer's frames.
Only time will tell just how well this does; pricing, I expect, will be the largest make-or-break facet of Sony's SmartEyeglass Attach!. But, we could be looking at a time where every set of glasses is smart thanks to a clip-on tool. | 2019-04-18T15:34:16 | http://www.wearabletechworld.com/topics/wearable-tech/articles/395331-sonys-smarteyeglass-attach-slip-on-oled-display-makes.htm |

Diggin' In Virginia, as readers of this blog know, is a twice annual invitational relic-hunting event in Northern Virginia, organized by John and Rose Kendrick. I was fortunate to once again be invited to attend Diggin' In Virginia this Fall --here's a summary of the event and my finds.
This year, DIV returned once more to the Beauregard Farm in Brandy Station, Virginia. For anyone interested in the Civil War, just being able to walk on this incredible property is a treat. The Battle of Brandy Station, the largest Cavalry engagement in the Western Hemisphere, was fought on a large portion of the farm. Fleetwood Hill, described by Clark "Bud" Hall as "the most marched upon, camped upon, fought upon, fought over piece of real estate in American History," is partially within its boundaries. And in the Winter of 1863, large portions of the Union Army, including the 6th Corps under General Meade, were encamped here. The land is all largely unchanged since that time so it's pretty much heaven for any Civil War buff.
The weather during the drive to Virginia was overcast and Ihad concerns about the unpredictable and decidedly un-Southern temperatures I'd encountered on previous trips to Culpeper in late October/early November. As it turned out, the fears were unfounded and participants enjoyed three days of absolutely perfect weather.
DIV has always started with a pre-hunt meeting. It's a time to sit down and enjoy a meal with old friends, visit the displays by companies such as North South Trader, American Digger Magazine, Predator Tools, and Don Dodson's North Georgia Detectors, and then learn details of the site, rules, directions, etc. This year, I almost immediately ran into Frank and Ted, two Culpeper locals who I met during my first DIV. Shortly afterwards, I saw Dan Frezza and Beau Ouimette and I also had the pleasure of meeting another Carolina-based Civil War historian and relic-hunter, Glenn. All in all, it's fantastic to get to talk in person with a bunch of Civil War aficionados at the pre-hunt meeting.
I always have a difficult time sleeping the night before the first day of DIV. I like to spend the weeks before the hunt reading about the area where we'll be hunting in order to have a full appreciation of where I am and what I'm looking at. This year was no exception and I'd worked myself into such a feverish pitch of anticipation reading Eric Wittenberg's "Battle of Brandy Station" that I couldn't sleep. I finally gave up and got out of bed at 3:45AM and went downstairs to the lobby of the hotel. Mercifully, the hotel staff were in the act of setting up for breakfast and I was able to pour myself a nice, hot cup of coffee. This was soon afterward followed up by multiple pancakes and I was ready to go.
Imagine 400 guys in camouflage standing in the pre-dawn light with shovels and metal detectors over their shoulders. That's the scene on the morning of the first day of DIV. John Kendrick stood up in front of everyone, gave a few last minute directions, wished us luck, and with that DIV XXII officially commenced. Some people immediately started detecting the nearest field while others jumped in their cars to hunt other locations throughout the massive (~ 3000 acres) farm.
Tony, Dwight, Glenn, and I went to a field north of the Barbour house that sloped gradually downward to what today is a lake but which, during the Civil War, was a small stream known as Flat Run. Soon, we began to find button backs, bullets, and in my case, lots and lots of camp lead. This field also contained an incredible concentration of buck and ball loads. These were in vogue during the American Revolutionary War but still saw use in the early days of the Civil War in smoothbore muskets. The buck and ball load consisted of a .69 caliber ball and two (or more) .32 cal. rounds of buckshot. Those tiny .32 cal buckshot sound incredibly good to a GPX 4800 even when they're 10" down in the hot Virginia soil and consequently I spent a great deal of my time on day one digging dozens of pieces of buckshot. Amazingly, at the bottom of this same field another person located over 180 minie balls in a single hole.
On Day 2, we moved to a different field, one that elements of the 6th Corps had used as a camp during the winter of 1863. Here, I found a nice general service Eagle button on top of a prominent hill with a beautiful view of the surrounding terrain. I also recovered several .58 cal minie balls, a sword belt grommet, and knapsack hooks in this strategic location.
Later that afternoon, I moved down the hill onto a flat plain where about 50 people had been hunting most of the day. There were dig holes everywhere but I knew that the density of relics in the area was high and that people seldom go slowly enough to hear the deep targets. Sure enough, I got a fantastic signal right in the middle of the dig holes that turned out to be another nice Eagle button.
Eagle button came out of this hole, surrounded by dig holes. Go slow!
This was the first of three relics that I found literally in other folk's footsteps. The two other instances were rather amusing. First, I found a spot in a cornfield where someone had kicked away corn husks in order to scrutinize a questionable signal. I passed the coil of my 4800 over the bare spot and got a very distinct bullet sound. Sure enough, I pulled a 3 ringer from about 8" down.
The last of these incidents was the best. I was again detecting in an area that had been hunted pretty thoroughly when I got an unmistakably good signal right in the middle of someone else's filled-in dig hole! I swung over the hole again and there was no question that it was a good target. So I stuck my shovel into the already-dug hole, lifted out the already loosened soil, and there in the middle of it was a pristine 3-ringer. How someone missed that one after digging the hole I have no idea but I sure appreciate the pre-dig.
In the waning hours of Day 2, I also found two pieces of a rare and unusual Shaler bullet. This was a single .58 caliber projectile comprised of 3 separate pieces. The theory was that the sections would separate in flight and cause more damage than a single round but with greater accuracy than the buck and ball load.
Day 3 dawned and Tony and I returned to the field we'd hunted on the first day. Scouring its perimeter, we picked up a few good targets including a few dropped Sharps carbine bullets.
Moving in the direction of the Barbour House, the number of signals increased and I found a J-Hook with a beautiful green patina less than 8" deep. Then, I found a massive .69 caliber minie ball. And another. Then a button back, and a .69 caliber round ball. I motioned for Tony who I've nicknamed "Turbo," and who was already 50 yards past the site, to come back and hunker down. He did and for the next couple of hours we recovered 8 or 9 of these huge bullets apiece.
During the last three hours of the hunt, we moved to yet another field. This one was absolutely littered with iron signals and was obviously the site of a large encampment. Detecting here was extremely tedious however due to the sheer quantity of small iron signals. I was rather pleased when I finally dug a signal and it turned out to be bullet as opposed to yet another nail.
Can you spot the 3 ringer?
We had 40 minutes left before DIV XXII officially ended when my radio squawked and Tony excitedly told me to "get over here." Tony had dug some camp lead and noticed that it was colored by ash. He widened the hole and saw more ashes, a clear indication that he had discovered a fire pit or even a hut. He invited me to help and we both started digging as carefully as we could.
We started finding fragments of glass from a brandy bottle. Then pieces of china plate. And finally, oyster shells by the dozen, some musket parts, beef bones, and more glass. The clock was ticking and we were digging like rabid hedgehogs to see if any intact bottles remained. Finally, with the sun setting and a large hole to fill, we had to stop digging, shovel the earth back into the crater we'd created, and hike back to where Dwight, our fellow relic-hunter and driver, was waiting for us.
What Tony had just found was a spot where Union infantry, probably from Massachusetts, had feasted on beef, brandy, beer, and oysters from Chesapeake Bay during the winter of 1863. They'd even eaten off fine china. It was mind boggling luxury for such a remote area and at a time when Lee's army was fortunate to have shoes and rarely if ever enjoyed coffee. It spoke powerfully of the advantages of production and supply enjoyed by the Union Army.
As Tony and I hiked up the hill towards Barbour house, from which General Lee watched the Battle of Brandy Station unfold, I realized that the guys who ate the oysters 150 years ago whose shells we now carried in our backpacks gazed upon that exact same structure. And for a moment, I was transported back in time.
DIV XXII finds including oyster dinner from 1863. Those yanks sure knew how to wage war.

After a long hiatus away from blogging, I'm finally back! Lots of updates coming over the course of the next week or so including a summary of Digging in Virginia 22 and accounts of several hunts here in the Raleigh/Durham area.
Suffice to say, being a parent to two children under the age of three can seriously cut into your detecting time. | 2019-04-22T22:25:18 | http://touchthepast.blogspot.com/2012/12/ |
Concept art for a bleak future?
I'm kicking around a couple of ideas for a bigger project, and I figured I'd post them here (after all, this blog is for sharing, right?) My project (together with two friends) is some kind of comic book-length sci-fi story that we hope to start fleshing out before long. The trick is to avoid the clichés at the same time as you want to appeal to a sci-fi audience; and besides, there are some quite wonderful clichés within this genre, wouldn't you say? | 2019-04-22T22:00:44 | http://larsmaxim.blogspot.com/2008/04/ |
A beautifully hand carved miniature Look Kala Mai Mee Ta eyeless coconut careved Asura Deva God amulet, and one of the extreme rarities of the amulet pantheon from a highly preferred top master of Wicha Pra Rahu, Luang Por Pin, of Wat Srisa Tong, in Nakorn Pathom. There are many levels of detail found in the carved Kala Mai Mee Ta of Luang Por Pin, ranging from that of the simple village artisan, to the fine master craftsman.This exhibit is a Kot Kala Mai Mee Ta Phueak, minature self enclosed eyeless coconut shell, and is in very rare albinbo coconut shell.
The word 'Kot' means 'anomaly'. Eyeless Coconut is even more powerful than one eyed coconut in Thai Magical Belief System. The Albino Eyeless Kot Kala Mini Coconut Anomaly is of course considered perhaps the rarest of all Kot Kala.
This amulet comes (as do all) with free registered air parcel shipping worldwide, and a free gift. The Kot Kala amulet is exquisitely carved with Laoatian influenced Buddhist Art eminently visible with the triangular crown worn by Pra Rahu, and other fine details which show the carving was made by one of the Lao Ethnic Artisans who had moved since earlier generations to Nakorn Pathom, and blessed and inscribed with Agkhara by Luang Por Pin.
A rare Ritual Artifact for Wearing as an amulet, or a Mini Bucha for Altar Worship with the World Famous Wicha of Wat Srisa Tong, empowered with the Magic of the preceding Lineage Masters of Wat Srisa Tong; Luang Por Dto, Luang Por Dtrai, Luang Por Dtan, Luang Por Lee, Luang Por Tong, Luang Por Choi, and his Kroo Ba Ajarn Luang Por Noi before him.
The Look Kala Ta Diaw, and Kot Kala Mai Mee Ta and Pra Rahu Sema Glab amulets of Luang Por Pin are for Bucha to Pra Rahu Asura Deva of the Solar and Lunar Eclipse. Tjhis exhibit is carved by a top artisan of Wat Sri Sa Tong, and empowere in ceremony during the eclipses of sun and moon, in Bucha Ceremony at Wat Srisa Tong, with Luang Por Pin, presiding over the Blessing Ceremony.
Both Luang Por Noi, and Luang Por Pin enjoy top status for Pra Rahu Kala Ta Diaw amulets, as does the temple of Wat Srisa Tong itself. When we speak of the Pra Rahu Sema Glab amulet in carved coconut shell, one immediately comes to mind with the names of Luang Por Noi, and Luang Por Pin being synonymous.
The Rahu amulets of Wat Srisa Tong themselves were made by Artisans, who were devoted Looksit of Luang Por Noi, who were mostly immigrants from Vientiane, in Laos, who moved to Thailand during the early Ratanakosin Period of Thai History. Luang Por would then would distribute them back to the devotees for protection and Serm Duang (improve fate and destiny).
Luang Por Noi did this by raising a more stringent rule for the magical requirements in allowing only coconuts with one single eye to be used for the carving of the Rahu image. Luang Por Noi then passed on in turn all of his accumulated knowledge and prowess and the secrets of empowerment of the Pra Rahu Kala Ta Diaw, to Luang Por Pin. It is then with Luang Por Pin that the Wicha Pra Rahu Kala Ta Diaw was given to preserve and continue. Luang Por Pin then became the Master of the Wicha after the Passing of Luang Por Noi.
The Wicha continued on with the next abbot Luang Por Manich, which also passed away now in 2559 BE. We await the appearance of the next Master of the Wicha Rahu of Wat Srisa Tong, and hope to find and present as many examples of the amulets of this lineage as we can over the coming years, to collect and admire. | 2019-04-26T15:06:20 | https://www.ancientamulet.com/palad-khik-lp-fak-yant-dto-wat-prachasan/Kot-Kala-Phueak-Pra-Rahu-Mai-Mee-Ta-Albino-Eyeless-Coconut-Carved-Asura-Deva-Eclipse-God-Luang-Por-Pin-Wat-Srisa-Tong-p136225608 |
