A new study by Bradley W. Lane, Natalie Messer-Betts, Devin Hartmann, Sanya Carley, Rachel M. Krause, and John D. Graham on why governments promote electric vehicles finds that the environmental benefits of the vehicles have little to do with politicians’ motives for supporting the industry. Perhaps not surprisingly, “Government Promotion of the Electric Car: Risk Management or Industrial Policy?” (gated) finds that the economic benefits of the industry are the primary motivator for most governments. From the press release:
Contrary to common belief, many of the world’s most powerful nations promote the manufacture and sale of electric vehicles primarily for reasons of economic development – notably job creation – not because of their potential to improve the environment through decreased air pollution and oil consumption.
This is among the main findings of a study by researchers at the Indiana University Bloomington School of Public and Environmental (SPEA) and University of Kansas that analyzed policies related to electric vehicles (EVs) in California, China, the European Union, France, Germany, and the United States – political jurisdictions with significant automotive industries and markets for EVs.
“Billions of dollars are being invested despite doubts that some express about the viability of electricity as a propulsion system,” said John D. Graham, SPEA dean and co-author of the study. “The objective of many of these national and sub-national governments is to establish a significant position – or even dominance – in the global marketplace for these emerging, innovative new technologies.”
How illiterate do our politicians think we are?
In the old days we had plain titles of laws, such as the Voting Rights Act or the Civil Rights Act. In the United Kingdom, the titles of laws still reflect their subjects, whether the Official Secrets Act or the National Health Service Act. The modern U.S. Congress, as the least trusted institution in America, is particularly prone to these propaganda titles. Thus, modern Americans, instead of universal, government-funded healthcare, get government-funded propaganda: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Read More »
Cass Sunstein, writing on Bloomberg View, reviews the research on judicial voting patterns to determine whether judges are really as “political” as people seem to think. The good news: federal judges aren’t nearly as bad as politicians. “Judges are far from mere politicians; we don’t see anything like the kind of polarization found in Congress,” writes Sunstein. “At the same time, judicial predispositions matter, and they help explain why judges are divided on some of the great issues of the day.”
The research also indicates that even judges are subject to a phenomenon called “group polarization.” “[J]udicial voting becomes a lot more ideological when judges sit on panels with two others appointed by presidents of the same political party,” Sunstein explains. “For example, Republican appointees side with plaintiffs complaining of disability discrimination about 29 percent of the time — but that number drops to 17 percent when they are sitting with two fellow Republican appointees.”
As for the Supreme Court, Sunstein highlights research from a new book on the political leanings of Supreme Court justices since 1937:
Strikingly, they find that of the six most conservative justices in their entire sample, no fewer than three are currently on the court (Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito). A fourth makes the top 10 (John Roberts). By contrast, none of the current justices ranks among the most liberal six, and only one makes the liberal top 10 (Ruth Bader Ginsburg).

As part of a broader study of the online presence of parties, party leaders, and Presidential candidates in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S., I tested whether and how rapidly their staffs responded to two types of emails (sent from separate fictitious accounts in the official language of each country): one asking for their positions on taxes (a cross-cutting issue that should not strongly differentiate between different types of parties), the other pledging to be willing to volunteer for them and asking for directions on how to do so. Emails were sent in the two weeks prior to national elections between 2007 and 2010 to a total of 142 parties and candidates. The results speak volumes to the lack of responsiveness among political actors: excluding automated responses, only one in five emails received a reply within one business day.
If there is one thing that politicians love to do it’s to promise people things now and not worry about how we will pay for those promises until sometime far into the future, when some other politician is on the hook to balance the budget.
We see this all the time in the form of budget deficits in the federal government, and also with the accounting tricks used on the Social Security Trust Fund.
These sorts of shenanigans get less press at the state and local level because many state and local governments are required to have balanced | [

A single car - the 911 GT1-98 Straßenversion - was built in 1998 to homologate the all-new racing version under the new FIA regulations. The engine had to be slightly de-tuned to meet European emissions laws, although its 400 kW (544 PS; 536 hp) at 7,200 rpm and 600 N⋅m (443 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4,250 rpm proved to be more than adequate; the car could accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standstill in 3.6 seconds on its way to a top speed of 193 mph.
Homologated roadgoing version of the ’97 911 GT1 Evolution racer costing $890,805 upon release. Twin-turbochargers were fitted to the M96/80 engine, which had water-cooled cylinder heads. Apparent from the front and rear lights, the GT1 shares many components with its series production counterparts, but puts them together in a more competitive way. Gone is the rear engine layout which isn't suitable for prototype GT racing, the GT1's turbocharged flat-six engine sits in front of the rear axle and is supported by chassis tubes instead of the typical 911 rear sub frame.
To comply with homologation requirements, Porsche built two street versions of their 1996 Le Mans contender. These pre-production cars are essentially the same as the race version without all the safety equipment, a higher ride height and more interior amenities. The two street versions were actually built in 1995 as 1996 model year cars. The engines were slightly detuned from 600 bhp to 544 and the gear ratios were changed. | [

“Do they wonder why they (the Obamas) lost? If they were so adored — if their policies, if their agenda was so appreciated, if the American people were so enamored of it and they wanted more and more of it — then why did not Hillary win? Because Obama was campaigning for her.” – Rush Limbaugh, February 2018
FoxNews.com reports that
Former First Lady Michelle Obama has seemingly taken a shot at President Trump amid his ongoing feud with four progressive congresswomen, saying “there’s a place” for natural-born citizens and refugees alike.
Tensions escalated this week when the president blasted the Democratic “squad,” Reps Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., suggesting on Twitter that they “go back” to the countries they came. All four women are U.S. citizens, with Omar being the only one who was born outside of the U.S.
After exchanging several barbs during the week, Trump continued his attacks during Wednesday’s rally, during which a “send her back” chant aimed at Omar broke out from his supporters.
On Friday, the former first lady tweeted what seemed to be a rebuke of the remarks — while stopping short of mentioning the president directly.
“What truly makes our country great is its diversity,” Mrs. Obama tweeted. “I’ve seen that beauty in so many ways over the years. Whether we are born here or seek refuge here, there’s a place for us all. We must remember it’s not my America or your America. It’s our America.”
Her husband, former President Barack Obama, has not commented in on the feud.
While the Obamas have largely avoided weighing in on political matters since leaving the White House, Friday’s comments are not the first time the former first lady has seemingly tweaked Trump.
“The leader of the free world with a tweet can start a war, can crush an economy, can change the future of our children,” she told Gayle King of CBS News at the Essence Festival in New Orleans earlier this month.
She added the next president needs to have “deep seriousness and focus” and operate “with a clear base of facts and ideas.” She also said she thinks her husband sometimes made the presidency look easy.
“I guess it’s kind of like if the black guy can do it, anybody can do it — and that’s not true. It’s a hard job.”
“…made it look easy”?
Are you kidding me?
Three years into his presidency, Trump is still cleaning up Obama’s mess.
I am not at all surprised that “Mooch” has gotten involved.
Yesterday, the Godfather of Conservative Talk Radio, Rush Limbaugh, issued the following warning…
By the way, don’t be surprised if she gets in the Democrat presidential primary race after the primaries. Don’t be surprised. I think the Obamas are looking at this as, “The primaries? That’s beneath us. We’re not gonna enter the primaries.” They’ll let these people fight it out, spend all their money, and then when it looks like none of them has a chance of beating Trump, here comes Michelle (My Belle) Obama at the latter moments of the campaign to jump into the fray and save the day for the Democrat Party.
After all, her and “The Squad” are “fellow travelers”.
Like “The Squad” and her husband, Former President Barack Hussein Obama, Michelle Obama has always played The Race Card at every opportunity.
On January 23rd, 2008, during a speech given in Columbia, South Carolina, Michelle Obama said:
We don’t like being pushed outside of our comfort zones. You know it right here on this campus. You know people sitting at different tables, y’all living in different dorms. I was there. Y’all not talking to each another, taking advantage of the fact that you’re in this diverse community because sometimes it’s easier to hold onto your own stereotypes and misconceptions, it makes you feel justified in your ignorance. That’s America. So the challenge for us is, are we ready for change?
Then, in February of 2008, while campaigning for her husband in Wisconsin, Mrs. Obama said:
Let me tell you something. For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country, because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.
And let me tell you something. I need to believe that we live in that kind of nation, where hope and possibility and unity is still what drives us.
She made the “proud” comment twice in 2 different speeches. David Axlerod, Obama’s Chief Strategist, | [

Revitalizing the Seacoast
State tax credits help towns, cities renew areas
ROCHESTER — As the city continues to further its efforts to revitalize and renew itself, state officials say they are also working to increase awareness of a special tax incentive aimed at injecting new economic life into the Lilac City and a number of other Seacoast communities.
Twelve local municipalities, including each of the Seacoast’s cities, participate in the state’s economic revitalization zone program, which provides short-term business tax credits for projects that improve infrastructure and create jobs in designated zones of a given community.
The number of small businesses that applied for the credit increased last year, and over the past three years the total number of applications has remained relatively steady, which Bridgett Beckwith of the state’s Division of Economic Development said is one sign the program is working.
That said, she and others believe overall participation is below where it could be, particularly in some regions of the Seacoast that aren’t yet seeing the kind of rapid, widespread growth in Dover and Portsmouth.
“(In some towns), it’s almost a ‘If you build it, they will come’ mentality, but that’s not always the case,” said Beckwith, a tax incentive program manager with the Division of Economic Development. “Just having a zone doesn’t always paint the picture. We’re going to start working with the towns because some of them don’t know how promote (the ERZs) properly.”
The following is a list of Seacoast communities with ERZs and the number of zones within each of them: Dover (5); Durham (3); Exeter (1); Farmington (3); Greenland (1); Hampton (4); Northwood (4); Portsmouth (5); Rochester (6); Seabrook (4); Somersworth (2); and Stratham (2).
An ERZ is defined either as an industrial park that is unused or underutilized or vacant land, or former industrial, commercial or retail structures currently not in use for a variety of factors. Some of those factors relate to unfavorable economic conditions.
New Hampshire allocates $825,000 across the state each year for ERZ tax credits. For businesses to qualify for the credit, they must create at least one full-time job and make infrastructure improvements, which can include equipment purchases.
Rochester’s first ERZ was established in 2008, and its most recent in 2014. Rochester Economic Development Manager Karen Pollard said the regions are “pretty targeted” to areas Rochester wants to see business expand.
Those areas include downtown Rochester, where the incentive goes hand in hand with the RSA 79-E Community Revitalization Tax Relief program. Under the 79-E program, businesses can also apply for 5 to 15 years of property tax credits if they make specific improvements that aid the community.
“Having these available are another tool in our arsenal of tools we have,” Pollard said. “We see them as a big advantage to fill (vacant) spaces because they help businesses recoup their investments.”
Rochester City Manager Dan Fitzpatrick agreed. "We're always looking for new ways to stimulate economic growth in Rochester," he said. "The six areas we identified are ones that we see have the most potential to benefit current and future businesses, as well as residents and the community as a whole."
Exact figures for how much money Rochester businesses have received through the ERZ credit and Rochester's total number of benefiting businesses wasn’t immediately available, although Pollard said Rochester’s zones have been successful. One such success story has been the Granite State Business Park Zone, which has aided expansion efforts for businesses like Safran Aerospace Composites and Albany International.
Still, Pollard said she believes there isn’t enough knowledge about ERZ credits and that many businesses don't know they can also apply to the smaller parcels in downtown. To help generate awareness of the program, Rochester recently spent $3,150 to create and install signs in each of its six ERZs.
Beckwith said one of the big focuses of her department moving forward will be to help cities like Rochester find other ways to promote and advertise the incentives available to businesses.
"It's definitely something we need to look into more," she said. "I think once businesses find out about it, they get excited about it. Any incentive that businesses have to grow, offset their costs and investments in their businesses, and add employees is a good thing."

Wakefield Council is to consider making compulsory orders (CPOs) on a number of properties to make way for two ambitious projects designed to transform the city centre.
Senior councillors are being asked to approve the use of CPOs “in principle” to meet the Government’s 2026 deadline for completing the work.
The proposals come after the council won a £48.8m slice of a £3.6bn Government funding pot to bring forward regeneration and investment projects.
Police release images of man wanted in connection with serious assault at Wakefield pub
Crack-addicted shop robber claimed pal borrowed his clothing
Residents split on new art installation at City Fields
Castleford shop where police seized 8,000 illegal cigarettes could have its licence revoked over fears of ‘serious organised crime’
Jack Kirmond murder: Man charged as family pays tribute to 'amazing son, fiance, brother and friend'
The Towns Fund awarded £23.9m to Castleford and £24.9m to Wakefield in 2019 after bids were invited to improve transport, regeneration, digital infrastructure, connectivity, skills and culture.
The Wilko store is one of the properties earmarked to make way for the Kirkgate Neighbourhood Gateway project.
The proposed residential and commercial development site extends from the
former ABC Cinema to Wilko on Kirkgate, to Sun Lane and Marsh Way.
A spokesman for Wilko said: “We have a lease until 2033 in Wakefield and have had some very early discussions with the local authority.
“We’re committed to serving our loyal customers and have no plans to leave.”
In January, Wilko announced the closure of 15 shops across the UK as a cost-cutting measure but said it was committed to Wakefield.The Council is also seeking to “acquire and demolish” properties at the bottom of Bread Street in order to build a new public square.
The new square will provide space for festivals and events, together with providing more Covid-safe open space next to Wakefield Cathedral.
A report to the Cabinet states: “Subsequent demolition will facilitate the delivery of our proposals.
“Currently, some landowners have established a position that would see a sale price substantially in excess of the market value and therefore terms have not been agreed.
“Acquisition of the land identified is critical to project delivery.
“Failure to acquire in a timely manner will result in delays to the project.”
The report, to be considered at a meeting on July 19, states that CPOs would only be used as a “last resort”.
It adds: “The Council’s preference is to acquire by private treaty, following agreement of the value of property and any related reasonable costs.”
Cabinet members are also being urged to approve the use of CPOs so two other projects in Castleford can go ahead.
The report continues: “The Town Deal programme represents significant investment in Wakefield and Castleford, aiming to improve the urban environment for residents, businesses, and visitors, supporting the local cultural and leisure offers while also (particularly in the case of the Castleford programme) improving transport links.”
The two Wakefield projects included in the Town Deal funding are:
1. The Kirkgate Neighbourhood Gateway
Lower Kirkgate is considered at a major city centre gateway and a key route between the city centre and Wakefield’s waterfront.
In its current form, the site is deemed to be a “blight” on the area, including Kirkgate Railway Station.
Plans include a residential-led development, plus car parking and commercial properties.
The project will involve the demolition of buildings, leaving only four existing properties and the Harewood Arms pub.
Towns Fund investment will refurbish The Harewood Arms and three of the four other units.
The project aims to encourage “younger professionals” to live in the city.
It also aims to “bring year-round day and evening vibrancy to Wakefield City Centre” and “offer sustainable living in a desirable location.”
2. The Bread St/Cathedral Square project.
The Cathedral Square project was first proposed in the Future High Streets Fund bid in 2020 to regenerate the area.
The bid was unsuccessful but the Council continued to develop the proposal within the Towns Fund bid
The Bread Street project will deliver a new public square through the acquisition and demolition of underused buildings.
The new square will provide more space for festivals and events.
Building façades along Bread Street will be improved to encourage greater footfall and use of the vacant units.
Bread Street was historically home to independent retailers, but has fallen into decline over the years.
The Council report states: “A relatively narrow street, it has only one remaining active frontage and has largely gradually become more of a ‘back alley’ used for servicing businesses along | [

Controlled Nuclear Fusion One Step Closer Thanks To Sandia
April Flowers for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online
Researchers at the Sandia National Laboratories have completed successful preliminary tests on magnetically imploded tubes called liners, which are intended to help produce controlled nuclear fusion at scientific "break-even" energies or better within the next few years. The results of this research will be published in Physical Review Letters (PRL).Scientific break-even is one of the major performance measurements in fusion energy research. For example: in steady-state magnetic confinement fusion, scientific break-even means that the fusion power produced in a plasma matches the external heating power applied to the plasma to sustain it.
Exceeding scientific break-even is the most hotly sought after goal of fusion research. By exceeding break-even, the energy released by a fusion reaction would be greater than the energy put into it — an achievement that would have extraordinary energy and defense implications. That the liners survived their electromagnetic drubbing is a key step in stimulating further Sandia testing of a concept called MagLIF (Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion), which will use magnetic fields and laser pre-heating in the quest for energetic fusion.
The experiments just completed were dry runs in which cylindrical beryllium liners remained reasonably intact as they were imploded by the huge magnetic field of Sandia's Z machine, the world's most powerful pulsed-power accelerator. The Z machine is the largest X-ray generator in the world and is designed to test materials in conditions of extreme temperature and pressure. It gathers data to aid in computer modeling of nuclear weapons.
Had the cylinders overly distorted in the Z machine, they would have proved themselves incapable of shoveling together nuclear fuel – deuterium and possibly tritium – to the point of fusing them. Sandia researchers expect to add deuterium fuel in experiments scheduled for 2013.
"The experimental results – the degree to which the imploding liner maintained its cylindrical integrity throughout its implosion – were consistent with results from earlier Sandia computer simulations," said lead researcher Ryan McBride. “These predicted MagLIF will exceed scientific break-even."
A simulation, published in a 2010 Physics of Plasmas article by Sandia researcher Steve Slutz, showed that a tube enclosing preheated deuterium and tritium, crushed by the large magnetic fields of the 25-million-ampere Z machine, would yield slightly more energy than is inserted into it.
A later simulation, published last January in PRL by Slutz and Roger Vesey, showed that a more powerful accelerator generating 60 million amperes or more could reach "high-gain" fusion conditions, where the fusion energy released greatly exceeds (by more than 1,000 times) the energy supplied to the fuel.
Both of these goals, scientific break-even on today's Z machine and high-gain fusion on a more powerful future machine, require the metallic liners to maintain sufficient cylindrical integrity while they implode. The line is needed to contain fusion fuel like a can holds peanut butter, and push it together in nanoseconds like two semicylindrical shovels compacting snow together.
The metallic liners doing the compressing are also being eaten away as they conduct the Z machine's enormous electrical current along their outer surface. This electrical current generates the corresponding magnetic field that crushes the liner. Under the stress of passing that current, the outer surface of the liner begins to vaporize and turn into plasma, in much the same way as a car fuse vaporizes when a short circuit sends too much current through it. As this happens, the surface begins to lose integrity and becomes unstable. This instability works its way inward, toward the liner's inner surface, throughout the course of the implosion.
"You might say: The race is on," said McBride. "The question is, can we start off with a thick enough tube such that we can complete the implosion and burn the fusion fuel before the instability eats its way completely through the liner wall?"
"A thicker tube would be more robust in standing up to this instability, but the implosion would be less efficient because Z would have to accelerate more liner mass. On the flip side, a thinner tube could be accelerated to a much higher implosion velocity, but then the instability would rip the liner to shreds and render it useless," he continues. "Our experiments were designed to test a sweet spot predicted by the simulations where a sufficiently robust liner could implode with a sufficiently high velocity."
By following the dimensions proposed by the earlier simulations, the physical test proved successful and the liner walls maintained their integrity throughout the implosion.
Taken at nanosecond intervals, radiographs depicted the implosion of the initially solid beryllium liner through to stagnation — the point at which an implosion stops because the liner material has reached the cylinder's central axis. The images show the | [

Only Nova’s award-winning science experts can explain for a TV audience what "string theory" is and if it will prove to be a "Theory of Everything;" or will it unravel into a "Theory of Nothing” as this second hour episode explains. Also, this episode of “The Elegant Universe” is "outstanding TV," say teachers here in central Oregon who've viewed this miniseries in their classrooms as part of the PBS mandate to "educate" as well as entertain. In turn, this three-hour miniseries with physicist Brain Greene delves into what PBS calls “the nuts, bolts and outright nuttiness of string theory.” For this part 2 called “String’s the Thing” – that airs Wednesday, July 18 at 10 p.m. ET on the PBS – Nova’s science experts feature a “whimsical scene in a movie theater in which Nova’s program overview explains as “the history of the universe runs backwards to the Big Bang, the moment at which general relativity and quantum mechanics both came into play, and therefore the point at which our conventional model of reality breaks down.”
While most non-science experts – such as this reporter – may have difficulty understanding something as complex as “string theory,” that view changes after watching this “elegant universe” miniseries; because it becomes clear and even easy to understand with general TV viewers sure to “get it" while enjoying the visual experience of the program’s outstanding views of the Cosmos; making this show a must see for those who've wondered about "string theory."
Get set to have your mind blown by our "Elegant Universe"
For instance, its string theory to the rescue as Professor Greene describes the steps that led “from a forgotten 200-year-old mathematical formula to the first glimmerings of strings—quivering strands of energy whose different vibrations give rise to quarks, electrons, photons, and all other elementary particles. Strings are truly tiny, being smaller than an atom by the same factor that a tree is smaller than the solar system. But, as Greene explains, they are able to combine the laws of the large and the laws of the small into a proposal for a single, harmonious theory of everything.”
This Nova TV program is based on Physicist Brian Greene's bestselling book that Nova says “comes to the small screen in this stimulating look at a complicated topic: the search for order in the universe. Is a revolutionary proposal--"string theory"--the answer scientists have been seeking for centuries?
Greene tackles the mind-boggling complexity of the theory with vivid, clear images, and calmly points the way to the answer.
The Elegant Universe: Part 2 goes further into the Cosmos
While this award-winning miniseries first aired on PBS back on Oct. 28, 2003, it’s been updated with new commentary and visuals for breaking science news in 2012.
For instance, the Nova website includes both background about this second hour of “The Elegant Universe” and a complete transcript that’s a super education resource for students studying the universe in science, or simply for the fun and enjoyment of challenging one’s mind to the possibilities of something as complex as “string theory.”
In brief, a high school science text book states that string theory is “an active research framework in particle physics that attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity. It is a contender for a theory of everything (TOE), that’s a self-contained mathematical model that describes all fundamental forces and forms of matter.”
Also, as this Nova TV show explains to viewers, “string theories require the existence of several extra dimensions to the universe that have been put into extremely small scales, in addition to the four known space time dimensions.”
To help explain “string theory” even further, Nova’s website offers teacher and education resources that offer different frameworks for better understanding of this complex and confusing theory.
String theory as TV entertainment
Yes, watching a Nova TV program about “string theory” on a summer evening is hardly exciting for some but give it a view and you may be surprised at how entertaining host Brian Greene (a professor at Columbia University) is at explaining how the world of "string theory," is a way of “describing every force and all matter from an atom to earth, to the end of the galaxies - from the birth of time to its final tick, in a single theory, a ‘Theory of Everything.’”
For instance, Professor Greene notes how “we really may live in a universe with more dimensions than meet the eye.”
Thus, the Nova program goes on to explain how “obsession drives scientists to pursue the Holy Grail of physics, but are they ready for what they discover? Step into the bizarre world of the Elegant Universe right now,” the TV show adds with Professor Greene revealing: “It's a little known secret but for more than half a century a dark cloud | [

President Rajapakse will probably go down in history for two achievements: he put down the LTTE rebellion and he has prevented the military coming to power. The first achievement is widely, and correctly, bruited about as the foundation for his enduring popularity with the Sinhala masses. The second achievement – preventing the military coming to power – is not bruited about at all, and perhaps is not even recognized. But it seems to me a major achievement for which the nation has to be grateful, even though it is an achievement of an ambiguous and provisional order. However, that achievement has left him with the dilemma of finding a role for a victorious army in peacetime.
It is arguable that too much credit should not be given to him for the military victory over the LTTE. It was, after all, a military victory, not a civilian one, in which the major role was played by Sarath Fonseka and the soldiers who did the actual fighting, and the major credit should therefore go to them and not to any civilian. Furthermore the President was not a charismatic figure of the order of Churchill who in 1940 transformed Britain’s darkest hour into its finest hour and imbued a nation with the fighting spirit. His detractors would say that he was the average Sri Lankan politician, though endowed with above average cunning, whose primary preoccupation was the feathering of his own nest and that of his relations, with not much more than residual concern for the national interest.
It remains, however, that the war was won under his Presidency, and I believe that he, unlike the previous Presidents, made that victory possible. I must recount at this point what I gathered while I was Ambassador in Moscow from 1995 to 1998. Shortly after I assumed office there the three Chiefs of Staff of our armed forces came to Moscow on arms purchasing missions. They included Major General Daluwatte who later became Army Commander. He said something to the following effect – not in his exact words – which germinated in my mind: “Give us the men and the weapons in sufficient quantity, and we will finish the job”. What that meant quite clearly was that since 1984, which saw the beginning of the civil war, until 1995 our armed forces had not been provided the men and the weapons in the requisite quantity to finish off the LTTE.
Why not? The answer was suggested by what was told to me by an important personage who visited Moscow not long afterwards. I cannot go into specifics about who it was and what exactly he said, but he was quite explicit on the point that the armed forces should be given just the requisite quantity of weapons to defeat the LTTE and no more, because anything in excess of that could be used against the people for a military coup d’état. That could have been just his personal and eccentric point of view, or he could have been reflecting the thinking going on in the highest echelons of the then Government. The latter I think is quite likely because he was after all declaring a commonsensical point of view. After a military victory a military leader could emerge who might want to take power, which would not be possible without sufficient weapons to contain a democratic counter-thrust.
I don’t want to make irresponsible allegations that our leaders prior to MR deliberately starved the armed forces of the weaponry requisite for defeating the LTTE. I am suggesting rather that the logic of the situation outlined in the preceding paragraph dictated prudence in limiting the weaponry to what was strictly requisite for a military victory. Obviously that could lead to serious miscalculations, which was perhaps the reason for the horrifying military debacle at Elephant Pass in 2000. Our army did not have the kind of weapons to withstand the LTTE thrust, and could reverse the tide of war only because Pakistan rushed to our help with those weapons. All that, arguably, belongs to the realm of speculation. But what is hard fact, not speculation, is this: a political leader facilitating a military victory could face the prospect of the emergence of a war hero who might want to take power through a coup d’état or through elections as might have happened with General MacArthur in the post-War US. Some of our leaders prior to MR would have balked at the prospect of a military victory, but MR forged ahead, and in doing that he showed that he was willing to place the national interest above his self-interest. It is proper to give him due credit for that.
His second achievement, to which I pointed in the first paragraph of this article – preventing the military coming to power –, is hardly recognized. For decades it had been a fairly widespread expectation that sooner or later a war hero would emerge, take power and set things right by chasing away the corrupt and inefficient politicians, with the full backing of the people. It was thought that Denzil Kobbekaduwe was that war hero, and therefore it was suspected that the | [

A Year of Firsts
It's a brand new year and a chance for a new start, but sometimes we can't start something new until we have reflected on some of the lessons we have learned. I think many of us would like to write off 2016 never to speak of it again. But, I bet if you really take a minute to reflect on the year you will find a small treasure of lessons that have made you a better you.
For me, 2016 was a true year of firsts. I made the move to Japan in 2015, but it wouldn't be until 2016 that I started to take advantage of what that really meant. It was difficult each month with the emotional ups and downs of living in a foreign country away from everyone I know and love. I shed more tears in 2016 than I ever thought possible. But each time that I found myself on the floor, I was given the chance to do something incredibly new and exciting. And instead of just letting the downs get the better of me, I chose to take risks.
In 2016, I was lucky enough to have a year full of amazing experiences. I started the year by seeing snow for the first time in my 30 plus years. Followed quickly by my first snowboard experience, where I learned that good balance makes life easier. I then experienced my first cherry blossom season, where I learned the importance of endings. I found a new hobby in rock climbing, where I was able to really get out of my head and belong to a community for the first time in months. I rode a mountain bike for the first time, and learned that losing control every once in a while is very important to me. I walked my first marathon, where I learned how amazing it is to do something physically challenging with a team. I sang on stage in front of a big crowd for the first time, and learned that doing something for people you love can give you a talent you've never had. I surfed in the ocean for the first time, where I learned that the water can numb the worst of pains. For the first time in my life, I did something completely spontaneous and crazy out of pure curiosity and discovered that my heart always knows what it really wants regardless of what I've told myself in the past. I also had my first visitor, where I learned that time and distance has no effect on a true friendship. I went white water rafting for the first time, and learned that being goofy is a necessity. I climbed rocks outside for the first time, and learned that fear has about a 5 minute effect before I can shut it up and succeed. I went skydiving for the first time, and learned that true serenity comes from a feeling of pure freedom. I summited a mountain covered in snow for the first time, and learned that being bad at something is part of life. And finally, I went whale watching for the first time and I learned that you can definitely feel things before you EVER see them. | [

S*P*Y*S is a 1974 comedy directed by Irvin Kershner and starring Elliott Gould, Donald Sutherland, and Zouzou. The film was screened at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival, but was not entered into the main competition.
Following an accident where two KGB agents are mistakenly killed during a failed attempt to help a Russian athlete's defection to the West, the head of CIA in Paris stipulates an agreement with his Russian counterpart to have two American agents killed in order to avoid retaliation. The choice falls on Bruland, an uptight agent passionate about his job and on the promotion ladder, and Griff, a somehow cynical and disillusioned courier. When the two men discover the plot, they form an uneasy alliance to try to escape, eventually getting involved with a French anarchist group and an independent French agent.
- Elliott Gould as Griff
- Donald Sutherland as Bruland
- Zouzou as Sybil (as Zou Zou)
- Joss Ackland as Martinson
- Xavier Gélin as Paul (Revolutionary)
- Vladek Sheybal as Borisenko (Russian Spy Chief)
- Michael Petrovitch as Sevitsky (Defector)
- Shane Rimmer as Hessler
- Kenneth Griffith as Lippet
- Pierre Oudrey as Revolutionary (as Pierre Oudry)
- Kenneth J. Warren as Grubov
- Jacques Marin as Lafayette
- Jeffrey Wickham as Seely
- Nigel Hawthorne as Croft
- John Bardon as Evans
Filming took place in Paris and England. "Donald and I are very funny together," said Gould. "We're sort of Laurel and Hardy gone straight. Or half straight. And Kershner is very serious.It makes a good balance."
The film was originally called Wet Stuff, after spy slang for blood.
The asterisks in the title are designed to remind viewers of MASH, which also starred Gould and Sutherland, and whose title is generally rendered with the same asterisks. Beyond this, there is no connection between the films.
Nora Sayre of The New York Times wrote, "The only mystery contained in 'S*P*Y*S'—a feeble attempt to spoof the Central Intelligence Agency is why Donald Sutherland and Elliott Gould ever chose to be in it." Arthur D. Murphy of Variety called the film "a mess... The script is tasteless, Irvin Kershner's direction is futile, and the whole effort comes across as vulgar, offensive and tawdry." Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave the film one-and-a-half stars out of four and criticized it for "creaky old jokes," writing that Kershner "plays for laughs as if the world has stood still for 20 years. The film's visual style has the look of a Hope and Crosby 'Road' picture, whereas the pacing and personalities of Sutherland and Gould are strictly contemporary." Charles Champlin of the Los Angeles Times called it "a trivial spy caper comedy... not without its amusing touches but with almost nothing on its mind." Gary Arnold of The Washington Post wrote, "The material is not in the least fresh. The script sounds as if it had been sitting around gathering dust for several years, and whoever dusted it off failed to inject much in the way of new jokes or verbal wit. However, director Irvin Kershner brings so much energy and professionalism to this essentially tired assignment that it plays with considerable verve."
The film grossed $1,148,674 in its opening weekend from 79 theaters.
Shortly before the release of the film, as customary in the era, Pocket Books published a novelization of the screenplay, as by T. Robert Joyce. The by-line seems to exist nowhere else and may be a pseudonym.

MY GOD THE JEHOVAH
(Isaiah 42:8 KJV) I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
I love all the names of God but an intense joy filled my heart calling him by his name Jehovah. Jehovah name of God is a very powerful name. Each compound names of Jehovah have specific meaning.
Let’s take a look at the Seven Compound Names of Jehovah:
1. Jehovah-Jireh: The Lord, my Provider - Philip 4:19
2. Jehovah-Nissi :The Lord our Banner"- I Chronicles 29:11-13
3. Jehovah raah : The Lord our Shepherd- Psalms 23:1
4. Jehovah Rapha : The Lord our Healer-Exodus 15:26
5. Jehovah shalom : The Lord our Peace- Isaiah 9:6
6. Jehovah shammah : The Lord who is Present - Hebrews 13:5
7. Jehovah tsidkenu : The Lord our Righteousness-Jeremiah 23:6
God is able to do all things. He is all powerful God. He has answer to all our problems.
May JEHOVAH protect and guide our steps.
I wish you all the compliments of the season! | [

I am the boyfriend of merde001 below who posted the first review about 9 beaches being closed “due to storms”. After MUCH work—i.e. hours of phone calls, waiting on hold and e-mails, and NO HELP whatsoever from 9 Beaches we achieved a refund from the travel site we booked through and are going to Tulum Mexico in a few weeks. And we are happy to put this all behind us.
But a new development is prompting me to post address this ordeal once more.
The entire reason that we had booked this hotel and decided on Bermuda for that matter was the cabana experience so the hotels offered as replacement did not fit what we were looking for at all. We had been communicating with the general manager of this hotel via e-mail after we learned that the resort would not be able to accept our reservation about two weeks prior to our planned arrival date. Since we had booked the hotel as part of a package, we were initially told by Orbitz we couldn't just cancel the hotel reservation without incurring a $150 change fee per airline ticket. In the meantime, my girlfriend had left the below review regarding our horrible experience with the hotel. The general manager immediately responded to our e-mail stating:
“…we are but a small privately owned hotel (with about 50 staff who rely on us for income in order that they can feed, clothe, and house their families both in Bermuda and around the world, literally). We are trying to work through this tragic set of circumstances which were totally beyond our control. Regrettably as Trip Advisor is so effective we have received many calls and emails since your posting appeared from people who wish to cancel their reservations. Under the circumstances could I ask if you can you feel any way clear to ask Trip Advisor to withdraw your comments?”
We responded that we could not remove the review because we did not want others to experience the same trouble and headaches that we had encountered. We also requested that the resort cover the change fees for our airline tickets, a total of $300. We said we would promptly remove the review if this was done. To this request, we received no response from the manager at all. Instead, the manager left the below response to our review here on Tripadvisor. After spending countless hours on the phone trying to re-arrange our travel plans at the last minute, we thought that this was not an unreasonable request. The sympathy that the manager had tried to extract from us by the mentioning that they are a small privately owned hotel had initially made us feel very guilty and regretful about the initial harsh review….
That feeling was quickly lost when we found out that “9 Beaches resort (was) to close for $80m redevelopment”.
See the link here: http://www.royalgazette.com/rg/Article/article.jsp?articleId=7da57cb30030000§ionId=60
We received no response, no reimbursement and ultimately no resolution on behalf of 9 Beaches. After enough hours spent on the phone finally talking to right people, we were able to get a full refund of our trip through Orbitz. 9 Beaches did nothing other than ignore us and our requests and in addition try to make US feel bad for THEM ruining our vacation. The ethics and poor business practices demonstrated by this whole process will definitely make us steer clear of 9 beaches in the future and for you and your desire for a relaxing vacation’s sake, I would advise you to as well.

Hey my TMC17 buddy, @kcnorojo! This post is for you!
As an intro to reducing radicals… I place students into groups of 3 or 4 and we play several rounds of Go Fish! This by the way was not my original idea. I will need to dig some to find the original post. But I have used it multiple times with all attitudes of students and it has been a great concrete introduction.
Just in case you’ve never played. Here are the official rules from hoylegaming.com
Each player gets five cards. If you are dealt a four of a kind, or get four of a kind during game play, those cards are removed from your hand, and you get a point. Moving clockwise, players take turns asking a specific player for a given rank of card.
I actually adjust the rules a bit in each round. And I believe we start with seven cards as well. Game ends when someone runs out of cards OR I call time.
Round 1: Students must have a pair for a match. Only a pair works. I allow them to play for several minutes to get the flow of the game. When the timer goes off, I ask them to count their matches and high five those with the most points.
Round 2: Students must have a group of three for a match. Even IF you have the 4th card in the set, you CANNOT lay it down with the match. Again, when timer goes off, I ask them to count matches and we celebrate the winners.
Round 3: Students must have an entire set of four cards to complete / lay down their match. This round goes on just a bit longer. Timer, count matches, celebrate winners.
Round 4: I ask them to deal out the cards – and this time they must have a set of 5 to make a match. A few usually continue to deal out the cards, but several pause and say – but we can’t! There are only four cards of each type. Yes!
We have a discussion about which round was their favorite to play. Which round was toughest? Which round was their least favorite. Usually – Round 2…with three in a set, because IF you end up with the last card, you can never lay it down, thus never emptying your hand to end the game. Hmmmm.
I literally draw a radical on the board and describe how it “sort of” looks like my hand when I hold a bunch of cards. I make a big deal of the index on the radical – it tells us the rules of the game. The Go Fish! game lends it to this part very well. Though these are not the greatest examples, hopefully they will give you a quick idea of what the notes may look like.
We practice several on whiteboards and write a reflection at the end of the work. Then I have them open their INBs and write out a few examples to complete – notate for future reference / study. Depending on the class, I may offer a few examples if they are unable to create some on their own.
Depending on the remaining time in class, I will then pass out the Radical Rummy cards to the groups. I have gone over how we can type in the problems on our graphing calculators – rational exponents, radicals, etc. I explain that every card will match to form a group of 4.
When a group has gotten their matches complete, I have them create a small poster or use whiteboards to list equivalent expressions. We then begin a notice / wonder. I jot down their ideas, testing some as we go along, but letting them decide if their “rule” for the rational exponents holds true.
I like this task after the Go FISH! and simplifying a few radical expressions because it shows them how the rational exponents are simply asking us to find that amount of the factors. For example, an exponent of 1/3 asks us to find 1/3 of the factors of say 8. Since 8 = 2*2*2 and we have 3 factors, I want 1/3 of them, so 2 if the 1/3 power of 8.
There are also come GREAT discussions that arise about the negative exponents and what mathematical operations they are telling us to do.
I would love to hear how you approached these same skills and how it goes! | [

“Wicked Nights” by, Gena Showalter
“Wicked nights” is the story of the angel Zacharel and the human girl, Annabelle Miller. Zacharel is being punished by his ruler for past misdeeds. He is put in command of a group of misfit angels and whenever one of his soldiers does something wrong Zacharel is punished for it. Zacharel has a bit of a tormented past and having command of others like him, makes him more then a little grouchy.
Zacharel and his team are sent to fight a group of demons that are swarming a psychiatric hospital. Once inside he finds Annabelle strapped to a bed, trying to verbally fight off one of her perverted doctors. He is intrigued by her fighting spirit and decides to take her with him.
In this story Zacharel and Annabelle are more then a match for each other. The verbal sparring and electric energy between them made for a very hot read. I loved Zacharel’s honesty and deep loyalty to those he considered his. He is a character that is very flawed but someone that any woman would want to call hers.
Annabelle is strong, sweet, and a real fighter. I was rooting for her from the first page and I loved her ability to overcome so much darkness. “Wicked nights” had so much in it to love, not the least of which was the new cast of characters. We have the trio of Thane, Bjorn, and Xerxes who are bound together by a brutal past. We are also introduced to Koldo, an angel who has lost his wings. I can’t tell you how much I wish all the other books were out already.
Gena Showalter’s books are full of characters that you fall in love with and stories that tie you up in knots and melt your insides. Gena is an amazing author and I always know that I am getting a wonderful read when I purchase one of her books. | [

Here are some handmade produce in miniature to keep with the agricultural theme.

How does your garden grow? Mine did okay this year bearing in mind we didn't dedicate the time and energy we would have liked to. So far we've had sweetcorn, spinach, lettuce, carrots, millions of green beans (millions, really), strawberries, 2 blackberries (it's a new plant!), cooking apples and soon we will have some onions and leeks too. I also received lots of raspberries and new potatoes from various neighbours which was very welcome. I love home-grown produce! | [

Everyone was awed by the stunning magnitude of James Cameron‘s science fiction picture Avatar when it was released in 2009. A beautiful habitable moon in the Alpha Centauri star system called Pandora. Which stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, and Sigourney Weaver in the key roles, is set in the middle of the 22nd century. The Na’vi, a humanoid species native to Pandora, were the subject of the movie, which focused on how the mining colony’s construction endangers their ability to survive.
Here’s a look back at first movie and the aspects of it that continue to be memorable. Especially in light of the impending release of Avatar: The Way of Water, the sequel to the film. Here are five Avatar sequences that continue to astound us.
Avatar’s Best 5 Movie Aspects
1. Neytiri’s introduction In Avatar
The first time we see Neytiri, played by Zoe Saldana, is one of the most important scenes in the movie. As Jake pursues Neytiri, we also get a closer look at Pandora’s beauty and all that the humans are erasing as a part of its history. Neytiri is a feisty character, and the first time she interacts with Jake in the movie is a memorable one. It’s crucial to the plot since it gives Jake new insight into the motivations behind the Na’vi’s conflict with humanity.
2. The Ikran
As we watch Neytiri teach Jake how to live the Na’vi way. He starts to develop a connection with nature and she teaches him that life on Pandora is all about “the flow of energy, spirits of animals.” Neytiri assigns Jake the task of claiming an ikran, a predatory bird native to Pandora that the Na’vi use for aerial hunting, during his training after realising that Jake is ready to advance and learn how to fly.
3. The tribe chants for Grace
After the conflict between humans and the Na’vi tribes deteriorates and Jake and Grace (Sigourney Weaver) decide to support the Pandorans, the latter’s Avatar is injured during a skirmish and Jake seeks the tribe’s assistance to save her. The Na’vi tribe comes together in this exquisitely filmed scene to try to save Grace and permanently transfer her consciousness to her Avatar body.
4. Colonel Quaritch face-off
Colonel Quaritch is the terrible villain Jake must defeat after he decides to fight for the Na’vi tribe rather than his fellow marines (Stephen Lang). Jake keeps fighting him in his Avatar form while Quaritch enters in a huge metal suit that he controls from inside. The duel between the two combatants is one of the best action scenes in the movie.
5. Jake Sully’s transformation In Avatar
The first time we see Jake’s rebellious side, which eventually shapes up the movie’s plot as he stands by his moral compass to defend the natives of Pandora. As he experiments with his new body and causes chaos in the lab. We witness Jake experiencing his first Avatar encounter early on in the movie. Through his Avatar, Sully is able to feel his desire to run and be liberated from his wheelchair, hence the scenario has a lot of significance.
The brilliant way Sam Worthington‘s paraplegic marine introduced himself was the movie’s standout moment. Through a genetically modified Na’vi body controlled by the brain, Jake Sully enters Pandora.

December 15, Srinagar: After receiving harsh criticism for its inadequate digital services, J&K Bank expressed sorry to its clients on Friday for any difficulty caused by the transfer of UPI services to a “state of the art” platform.
J&K Bank experienced difficulty on Friday as a result of the digital services being unavailable beyond the scheduled time, despite the company having informed them in advance about the outage.
Users were infuriated by this, and several of them ridiculed the services on social media.
However, Mohammad Muzaffar Wani, Deputy General Manager of the IT Cell, stated that the disruption experienced by clients was caused by the move of UPI to a different platform rather than a network outage.
In the last two days, he said that two lakh users have successfully reset their UPI pins, while ten lakh transactions have been registered on online platforms. He suggested that after logging in, bank users reset their pin.
“On December 13, the cutting-edge UPI was moved to a new platform. In light of this, users were notified in advance that the procedure may take up to six hours, but in reality, it took longer, causing annoyance as they switched platforms. The bank apologizes for any trouble it may have caused its clients,” he said.
He continued by saying that the bank is working on many projects to provide its clients with the finest services possible. “We are working to converge other services on the same app, which will provide our customers with major relief,” he said. “We had recently rolled out MPay Delight.” | [

Bill Gates reveals his favorite business book & AbeBooks sells every copy of forgotten title from 1969
**UPDATE – The new edition of Business Adventures by John Brooks is now available.**
On Friday, the Wall Street Journal printed an interesting article written by Microsoft tycoon Bill Gates about this favorite business book – Business Adventures by John Brooks. It is a long forgotten out-of-print book published in 1969 containing 12 essays about business that had originally appeared in The New Yorker magazine.
Thanks to this article, Business Adventures by John Brooks was the top search term on AbeBooks.com on Friday and Saturday. This morning (Sunday), there are no copies left on the site.
Brooks – the Michael Lewis of his day – was a long-time contributor to The New Yorker. The essays include Ford Motor Company’s epic failure with the Edsel, the rise of Xerox, and scandals at General Electric and Texas Gulf Sulphur.
Gates discovered Business Adventures after fellow tycoon Warren Buffett lent him a copy in 1991 (I hope Gates returned it!). In the WSJ article, Gates writes:
Unlike a lot of today’s business writers, Brooks didn’t boil his work down into pat how-to lessons or simplistic explanations for success. (How many times have you read that some company is taking off because they give their employees free lunch?) You won’t find any listicles in his work. Brooks wrote long articles that frame an issue, explore it in depth, introduce a few compelling characters and show how things went for them.
Brooks died in 1993. His obituary in the New York Times reveals a little about the breadth of his writing:
Mr. Brooks was known for his ability to give Wall Street trends, history and personalities a narrative flavor far beyond standard financial reportage. He wrote three novels, all published by Harper: The Big Wheel (1949) about a news magazine resembling Time; A Pride of Lions (1954), and The Man Who Broke Things (1958). He was also the author of 10 non fiction books on business and finance, including Once in Golconda: A True Drama of Wall Street, 1920-1938 (Harper, 1969); The Go-Go Years (Weybright, 1973), a history of the speculative 1960’s on Wall Street, and The Takeover Game (Dutton, 1987), about the epidemic of mergers in the 1980’s. A collection of his work, Business Adventures (Weybright, 1969), included his most famous New Yorker article, ‘The Fate of the Edsel.’ | [

Police in Manchester, New Hampshire investigated a social media threat after a vague post about violence against a school caused panic among some parents.
Police say a concerned parent called police after her son told her about a Snapchat story that showed several weapons and referenced a “MHS.”
Officers looked into the incident and determined it originated in Virginia and was determined to be a hoax. A person shared a photo of multiple weapons, and another person may have added “threatening words towards ‘MHS.'” The school in question was later determined to be Monticello High School in Virginia.
But the threat went viral, and communities that had an “MHS” became concerned.
Police have collaborated with the Manchester School District and have posted additional officers near the school Tuesday.

Ore handling involves mucking out the blasted material at the front, transporting it on the sublevels, and dumping the ore into process.pared to other mining methods, sublevel caving allows for a quicker and less expensive mining process. However, sublevel caving leads to greater dilution and is therefore used for lower ore bodies.
Ore is stockpiled 1 at the processing plant, and the process begins by feeding the ore into a hopper with a loader. The ore is conveyed, and lime is added 2 to raise the pH of the ore. Following crushing through a jaw crusher 3, the ore is fed into the semi autogenous grinding SAG mill 4 along with water and steel balls.

I’m very happy to post this delightful engagement commission! These two got engaged at the Mystic Aquarium, as witnessed by one of their penguins in a special, behind-the-scenes Penguin encounter that the groom arranged. The mother of the bride commissioned this work based on their enjoyment of all things penguin.The happy couple got married this weekend, and I wish them two lifetimes of happiness together!
I’ve been working on this sketch for about six months now, I started it in December 2014, and continued it on this last trip in June. It’s a bit of a relief that this room doesn’t change too much, and yet at the same time I am challenged to make alterations that are both honest to the source and to what I found charming about the composition in the first place.

When I showed it to her, my mother-in-law asked me if I liked to do comics. Yes! Yes I do. 🙂 Coming from the French, who take their comics very seriously, I consider that quite a compliment.
Charles Marville photographed Paris as it was converting to boulevards and grand buildings, and the photos he took show us what was left of a ancient city turned medieval city turned modern city…breathtakingly romantic and festering at the same time.
The drawing above was from one of his photographs that I can’t seem to find now, but you get the idea of the light and darks of the narrow streets, and the deteriorating buildings. You’ll find such narrow streets in the Marais area of Paris still, but the rest of the city has wide streets with grand buildings which replace what would have been many streets back in the day.
It was this setting whose rooftops were the initial inspiration for all those rooftop rabbit paintings!
This story was for Rabid Rabbit 10, “Kitty, Kitty”. I was reading a book of Russian fairy tales at the time and it was a tie between this one and one where a 9 year old drunkard kills an entire army and seduces the Tzar’s daughter. Incidentally, most of those tales ended in, “It was all true, I was there, I drank at their wedding but all of it ran down into my beard and I didn’t get a drop.” | [

I. “If I Knew It Was Going to Be This Much Trouble”
Once, while driving with my wife in her home state of Georgia, I passed a bumper sticker, “If I knew it was going to be this much trouble, I’d have picked my own damned cotton.”
For my wife, this sighting again confirmed her high school decision to leave the South for college in the North and never come back. But it made me think of the mindset of the people who would display or approve of this bumper sticker and what it said about them. Ostensibly, the bumper sticker proclaimed that our problems with race in the present weren’t worth whatever gains whites obtained from slave labor. The deeper implication? The owners of these bumper stickers really wished they could live in a world where blacks were not part of America.
Aside from its obvious racist overtones, such a bumper sticker represents a common misconception about the impact of slavery and the cotton industry on America, both in the past and in the present. In Empire of Cotton: A Global History, Sven Beckert makes a cogent and well-researched argument that slavery was instrumental not just to the cotton industry; that is too narrow a lens. Instead, Beckert argues that the wealth created by slavery and the cotton industry were essential to the creation of wealth in all of 19th century America, both in the South and the North. In other words, the economic progress of America, both before and after the Civil War, depended vitally on slave labor. We as a country would not be where we are today economically without slavery. Our current wealth is, in part, a result of our racist history. Even while conservatives complain of government handouts to blacks and other minorities, they never want to confront the myriad ways slavery acted as a free handout to the white population.
In some ways, books like Empire of Cotton are beginning to revise our understanding of the impact of slavery and racism on America. But when I first heard about this bumper sticker I was struck by its amnesia—that is, the absence of any real attempt to come to grips with how slavery affected the thinking and psychology of whites. Slavery shaped the ways whites thought not just about blacks but also about themselves; in the process, it formed and constituted their identity, particularly their sense of morality.
The bumper sticker posits slavery as simply a phenomenon of physical labor, as merely a choice concerning who would pick the “damned cotton,” whites or blacks. What the bumper sticker does not imagine is the enormous mental effort, the practical and conceptual thinking which was necessary to maintain and justify slavery, the psychological strain that it took white owners to enforce and believe in their superiority, sovereignty and mastery over other human beings.
To hold absolute power over another human being and, at the same time, to believe in one’s own good and righteousness while doing so, was not a simple task. It required one to live in constant fear, fear which was both conscious and unconscious. It required constant mental gymnastics, a constant fending off of contrary or resistant observations or feelings; it involved an insistent willingness not to see the humanity of the human beings one ruled over. It required a deep psychological, spiritual and philosophic blindness–almost pathological powers of denial.
In other words, the establishment and enforcement of slavery required obvious physical labor—torture and other punishments, organizing, overseeing and policing slaves, going after runaways, etc.—but it also required an enormous mental labor, which produced its own products, products which continue to live on in our society and in the minds of many Americans on into the present.
Thus, the sheer difficulty, the unwieldiness, and complications of enforcing and maintaining slavery are vastly underestimated by many in the present. Slaveowners were caught within both mental and practical contradictions which they struggled and failed to resolve, since those contradictions stemmed from the denial of reality—the slave was as fully human as the master.
In all this, the system of slavery rested upon the obliteration of this truth and the creation of lies: The master was supposedly the natural and God-appointed ruler of the slave. The slave was not quite human, was not as intelligent as the master, did not have the same emotional and psychological capacities. In this natural God-given order, supposedly the slave willingly and openly accepted the master’s superiority and rule.
But if all these assumptions undergirding slavery were truly the case, in theory, the master’s dominion over the slave should have been easily enforced. But of course, in practice, it was not. In Honor and Violence in the Old South, Betram Wyatt Brown writes:

Just when we thought we’d be in Mackay a week ago, a change of weather lead us to alter our plan and continue our island hopping explorations a little longer. We are taking you to two lovely islands: Curlew and Digby Islands, just northwest of the Percy’s.
The appeal of both islands is that you can enjoy some scrambles up steep hills for beautiful views, exercise and internet coverage! Still no coral for snorkeling, but plenty to do with bush walks and beach combing.
Curlew Island is a handy destination with multiple anchorages for different wind directions. Just as well since we initially spend a couple of days sheltering from a SW blow, then leave for Digby Island, only to return to Curlew for a bout of northerly breeze!
While at Curlew, we have a visit from Asteroid, a trimaran whose owner Graeme and friend Neville have been following our adventures for a while. It is always nice to meet in person people who share our love of cruising!
On our second visit to Curlew we end up in different bays to shelter from northerlies. We scavenge ashore, find a near new fishing lure, a crate for our dive gear and some floatsome to make a sign with our boat’s name for the Percy Island A frame hut on our return visit later this year.
Digby is an interesting spot with a sandy beach and a triangle of islets providing some extra protection. It is as if you were in a lagoon. We are particularly lucky to enjoy this anchorage in light conditions, as it is apparently diabolical when the wind is stronger and the swell builds up, probably made worse by the current flowing between the islands.
The views from the top are panoramic and we manage to get internet and phone coverage for a brief catch up with friends.
As for the beach, it is a treasure trove for scavenging, since some poor trawler was wrecked there recently with all sorts of debris scattered along the rocks.
Bengie has mixed feelings about Digby Island… she took another dive from the dinghy. She has not learnt her lesson, either that or she likes to jump in for a swim!
We made our way to Mackay on Friday 24 August, to replenish our supplies, do a few chores and be wallies at the showers while we are in the marina for two or three days. It is also a good opportunity to catch up with Mick and Lyn, owners of Medina, our previous catamaran!
21 thoughts on “Playing Explorers – Curlew & Digby Islands”
Great finds Wadie, it is always fun to go to Bunnings. Lovely part of the world. Poor Bengie, maybe you’re right and she is enjoying the sea. It could be that she is chasing little fish too
That beach was particularly good! Yes Bengie has got used to her morning walks and always looks intently at the water! She did not even make a sound, no crying, no growling, just a dirty look back on the boat!
The views are simply fantastic! It’s a real paradise. I’d love to explore avery inch of the islands. Your photos are beautiful Chris. I also suspect that Bengie likes to dive in the water once in a while. 🙂
I think you might be right H.J. about Bengie liking the water! And yes the seascapes are wonderful, thanks for the kind words.
Oh kitty no! 😻 the views are beautiful at this location! How are you receiving internet service from, being so far off shore?
We were only about 50nm out so if we get a clear view to the mainland from the top of a hill we get a signal! But we have to climb steep slopes – keeps us fit.
I am not familiar with WIFI in Australia, I assume it works the same as here in the States. To get that kind of range, you would need a large antenna and tower. I’m a licensed Ham Radio operator, hence the interest in the distances.
WIFI works the same way here, John. While among the islands we have patchy coverage on top of the hills but nothing in the anchorages where we have been.
We have a Data aerial at the top of the mast, but when we are surrounded by mountains we can’t get a thing. We are investigating a Cell-Fi booster system which is supposed to amplify whatever signal we get. Some yachties have that and it makes quite a difference. It is a learning experience for us.
Thanks so much for the information! Top of the mast, perfect! I have read about the amplification systems you mention, good reviews. As a “Ham”, I would enjoy the challenge of capturing the signal. May add a Beam, or directional antenna.

The GBU-43 Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) bomb is one of the most powerful weapons ever created.
The MOAB weighs in at more than 10,000 kilograms and contains a huge 8,164 kilograms of explosives.
The Air Force calls it the Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb but it was nicknamed “Mother Of All Bombs” because of its acronym.
Its blast is equivalent to 11 tons of TNT. By contrast, the nuclear weapon dropped on Hiroshima had a blast yield of 15 tons of TNT.
The first time it was ever used in warfare was in a US Air Force attack where it was dropped on a cave complex believed to be used by ISIS fighters in the Achin district of Nangarhar province in Aghanistan.
It was designed by the US Air Force in the run up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. It was designed to scare Saddam Hussein’s troops into surrendering through psychological warfare. | [

A green roof system is an extension of the existing roof which involves a high quality water proofing and root repellant system, a drainage system, filter cloth, a lightweight growing medium and plants.
Green roof systems may be modular, with drainage layers, filter cloth, growing media and plants already prepared in movable, interlocking grids, or, each component of the system may be installed separately. Green roof development involves the creation of “contained” green space on top of a human-made structure. This green space could be below, at or above grade, but in all cases the plants are not planted in the “ground’. Green roofs can provide a wide range of public and private benefits.
Commonly, I find that it is a place or certain piece of property that ignites my creativity and inspires the vision. A comprehensible, although general, picture quickly begins to develop within me, with many blurred details being addressed as more thought is given to the overall planning and design. For myself, the process is an invigorating sensation and provides the motivating force to further develop and refine the vision. | [

The 5 innovations of the iMac 2022 that everyone expects — 2022
Having already closed the list of Apple launches for this year, it's time to think about what's to come in 2022. There will be many new devices and maybe the odd surprise, but without a doubt one of the most anticipated is the large iMac, which could even bear the Pro surname after the disappearance of this range in 2021. And what features are we all looking forward to the most? Do they match the leaks? We analyze it.
Wishes vs Reality with the future iMac
The first great wish of the users is also practically a fact and that is that it carries inside a Apple Silicon. It would be rare that after starting the transition from Intel to these, the company backed down. Now, the doubt revolves around whether they will mount the future M2 or the M1 Pro and M1 Max recently presented with the new MacBook Pro. What users expect is the latter and based on the leaks, we can happily say that everything points to what these chips will actually be, which will give it tremendous power to be able to carry out tasks such asedit different video tracks in Final Cut Pro.
Without neglecting the components, there are those who also hope that RAM can be changed with ease as already happens in the 27-inch iMac. It is a very interesting option that leaves it up to the user to be able to go for more when he needs it, but we are pessimistic with the idea that it incorporates it knowing the structure of Apple chips, which integrate this memory within the device itself. chip.
As far as the screen respect, potential customers of this iMac expect Apple to leave behind the 27 inches to accommodate a panel of at least 32 inches, while maintaining the same size by reducing edges. Unfortunately, this seems to be the most uncertain now, since the rumors say one thing and the opposite. There are those who affirm that it will continue to be 27 inches so as not to overshadow the Pro Display XDR and those who bet that it will finally grow diagonally. Be that as it may, what is expected is that they will have miniLED panels with a 120 Hz refresh rate, another novelty inherited from the recent MacBook Pro.
The fourth great desire also has to do with the design and it is that the colors are taking more and more importance in all the ranges of Apple products. The 24-inch iMac is a great example of this, although it does not confirm that the big one is on the same line. Moreover, according to what Apple does with its most advanced ranges, it would not be surprising if they finally incorporated more neutral colors such as silver and space gray. Although, without a doubt, many professionals would also be delighted with shades of green, yellow, red and even pink.
The fifth and last wish with which we close this round is related to an old Apple acquaintance: the price. We know that Apple does not sell low-end products and that its prices are not the most popular, so it does not seem that this iMac is going to be the exception. However, with what has already been seen in the Macs of this last year, the price may be high and yet be more democratized, even going down compared to Intel. And it is that the M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max offer higher performance and better specifications for less price than these almost extinct Apple computers with Intel processors.
Will the forecasts be fulfilled? There will be surprises? I wish we knew. Luckily, and again based on the leaks, it would be in March or April when Apple would launch this device. Therefore, although there are several months to go, the countdown has already begun and we will surely discover many things in advance. | [

I’m not the kind of man that can have his manhood away, Jamie Neville, fellow cast member.
Although my body no longer feels the emotional weight of a week of shows, I find my mind is still processing it all. It is still at the checkout scanning everything on the conveyor belt and counting the cost.
Now that I’ve cross-examined masculinity and mental health, what do the words “Man Up” mean? The negative association it had has been vanquished by virtuous relationships. Machismo is no longer the main mode, nor is there shame or intentional repression.
Maybe I was privileged to have encountered so many genuine people at once. Maybe it’s the post-show comedown. What I do know is that there is hope. Man Up is a statement of encouragement to be open and honest with yourself. It is a smoke signal for friendship and fostering positive behaviours. It is men recognising that they are not alone or other men cannot be their best selves alone. To hear those words is to tell someone that you’re ready to serve them, to support them.
I could argue whether the phrase should still exist, I won’t because I know it will outlive me. This phrase is a statement of your attitude and intent.
If I’m committed to using what I’ve learned then I will listen without judgement. I hope to understand the journey and help you along the way. Maybe we’ll see the finish line together. Are you ready for that level of vulnerability? Can your ego and prejudice stand down to help a man up?
If you’re the kind of man that can’t have his manhood taken away, your actions will answer the questions. I live in hope. | [

Despite data suggesting an oil…

The Pensacola natural gas discovery operated by Shell may contain nearly double the resources than initially estimated, the minority partner in the license, Deltic Energy Plc, said on Wednesday.
Drilling at the Pensacola well in the Southern North Sea began in November 2022, and in January 2023, Shell reported a gas discovery and recommended a full well testing program.
In February, Deltic Energy said, "Pensacola could represent one of the largest natural gas discoveries in the Southern North Sea in over a decade.”
Today, the company announced a significant increase in its estimate of oil and gas resources for the Pensacola discovery on Licence P2252, in which Shell holds the majority 65% interest.
Following post-well analysis, Deltic now estimates the Pensacola structure to contain gross P50 initially in place volumes of gas and oil of 342 million barrels of oil equivalent. This analysis indicates Pensacola may contain almost double the volume of recoverable gas and oil than originally thought, the company added.
Pensacola is now thought to also contain material volumes of oil, apart from natural gas. Oil is now estimated to represent around 30% of the combined recoverable hydrocarbons at Pensacola.
“Well data indicates that Pensacola contains close to double our original estimate, representing one of the most significant discoveries in the North Sea in many years,” Deltic Energy CEO Graham Swindells said.
The partners target to develop an appraisal and development program, with an appraisal well targeted for late 2024.
Despite the large discovery, current regulatory and tax conditions in the UK North Sea have made operators wary of future investments in development in the area.
The industry is already responding to the uncertain regulatory environment—the windfall tax and the pledge from the Labour Party – tipped to win the next election – to stop new oil and gas licensing in the UK North Sea. Apache, Harbour Energy, Shell, and TotalEnergies have announced either scaling back on investments and drilling, or intentions to review those.

In 2020 alone, NASA and its international partner, the European Space Agency, approved contracts with maximum values worth more than $11.5 billion for landers, crew transport, space modules and scientific equipment in preparation for the Artemis mission.
By the end of 2021, nine countries expect to have landers or rovers exploring for ice and water, measuring solar radiation, collecting regolith — or Moon dust — evaluating possible sites for human settlement, and taking the first steps toward developing space-based industries from its resources. By the end of the decade, that total is expected to be more than a dozen. With advancements in space technology, lower launch costs, and growing investor confidence, the Moon is about to undergo more exploration and development than at any time in history.
NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine explained the priority of Moon missions during an October presentation for Space Foundation’s Space Symposium 365.
“We go to the Moon to learn how to live and work on another world for long periods of time so that we can ultimately go to Mars. That’s the goal,” Bridenstine said. “We think about the Moon as the proving ground. We’re going to go with commercial partners. We’re going to go with international partners, and we’re going to go to learn how to live and work using the resources of the Moon. Ultimately, we’re going to take all this knowledge, and we’re going to Mars.”
The Space Report 2020 Q4, scheduled for release Jan. 21, examines the developing cislunar and Moon economy, upcoming missions and the space industries expected to evolve from exploration.

I have to admit I've never watched Mad Men although I've always wanted to. Estée Lauder have created a three part collection inspired by the series, one product being this beautiful See-Thru Blush.
Light Show is a gorgeous dusky rose pink shade with a hint of shimmer in the pan, which takes inspiration from the Swinging Sixties' see-through, cut-out fashions of the decade and the lights at rock shows. 'See-Thru' is a slightly misleading term, in the way you'd think you'd really need to build this up, but it gives the most lovely glowy finish with a beautiful wash of colour. Estée Lauder also advise applying this to your temples, forehead and chin although I haven't personally tried this yet.
The packaging is absolutely amazing- the compact case is a replica of an actual design from one of the Estée Lauder collections in the 60s! Impressive. It's definitely one you'd enjoy whipping out of your handbag whilst out and about. It's going to prove more useful for me personally to use just for touch-ups elsewhere on my face though, as the blush itself lasts all day! I'd expect nothing less from a product so pricy though to be honest, so at least it doesn't disappoint there. I'd say this is one for any collectors out there, if you have a special occasion coming up, or simply if you're willing to splurge! It's a seriously luxurious item but at the same time it's limited edition, so you might not be able to ponder over it for long!
What do you think of this blush? Are you a fan of Mad Men? I'm going to have to start watching.. now! | [

A Vulcan turret mounted a pair of 50mm Vulcan cannons, which were effective against enemy infantry and light vehicles such as attack buggies and attack cycles. However, it should be noted that rocket infantry had better range than a Vulcan cannon and could therefore destroy it from outside of its range.
The low cost of the structure meant that GDI could deploy it in very high numbers. Hammerfest base included quite a number of Vulcan towers, which were used as exterior defenses. Due to the fact that it did not have any minimum range, it was sometimes paired with RPG launchers that were effective against enemy armour. Furthermore, as a rather low tech structure, it was present at all GDI bases from Phoenix Base to Hammerfest.

Good morning from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Brickyard weekend. It is early morning here and the sun is just coming up. The skies are still pretty cloudy and are expected to stick around today but not produce any precipitation during the day. Temperatures will hit 80 degrees, a welcome change from the hot, humid weekend in Nashville.
Today’s IndyCar race is scheduled for 85 laps on the 2.439 mile European style road course. This is the second time we race on the road course this season, which the drivers seem to like. You can hear a sense of comfort in their voices when they talk about yesterday’s qualifying. Might be the reason the top five cars’ times are so close.
Pato O’Ward, the driver of the number 5 Arrow McLaren SP entry, earned his third pole of the season. O’Ward finished 15th in the GMR in May. O’Ward explains, “Arrow McLaren SP had a really strong test in Portland a few weeks ago and I think it showed today. We are looking to return where we belong, which is contending for poles, podiums and ultimately for wins. I think we have the car to do something great tomorrow. We just need to execute. The next session is warm-up so we need to do that, get as much information as we can to help us for the race, and when the race comes we try to maximize what we have.”
Will Power, driver of the Team Penske Verizon 5G number 5 entry, almost got his first pole of the season. Team Penske delayed O’Ward’s celebration a few minutes because Power felt that O’Ward impeded his progress at one point in qualifying, but race control determined that was not the case. Power has struggled to get consistent results this season. ”
“I just missed out by 6/1000ths, but so did about four other people. That’s about the tightest session I’ve ever seen, I think.”
“Pretty good conditions. Car was good. I’m glad to just be back in the groove again. Had such a kind of bad qualifying run lately. Yeah, certainly right there in the running for pole, so really happy to be up front.”
Josef Newgarden, driving the Team Penske number 2 entry, was given a six position grid penalty for an unapproved engine change last weekend in Nashville. Newgarden is currently 4th in the championship and will start today’s race in 20th after adjusting for the penalty.
Scott Dixon, the Chip Ganassi Racing number 9 entry, is also starting at a season low in 26th position. The Kiwi spun during the final lap of qualifying and lost his quickest lap of the session. Dixon is currently 2nd in the championship points. “It’s definitely going to make for an interesting race tomorrow,” Dixon said. “Definitely a tough day. We’ll see how it plays out.”
IndyCars are scheduled for the 30 minute morning warmup at 8:45 am. The Xfinity series are scheduled to qualify at 10:05 am. Followed by NASCAR Cup practice at 11:05 am. IndyCar race is scheduled for a 1 pm start time. All times are in EST.

Modifying Effect of Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids on Surface Activity and Self-Assembled Nanostructures of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate
journal contributionposted on 17.04.2014, 00:00 by Soheila Javadian, Fayezeh Nasiri, Akbar Heydari, Ali Yousefi, Afshin Asadzadeh Shahir
The effect of four cationic ionic liquids (ILs), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMImCl), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (BMImBr), 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (HMImCl), and 1-hexyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bromide (HMImBr) on surface activity and micellization of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), is studied. The thermodynamic data on micellization and surface adsorption are obtained from tensiometry and conductometry. The applicability of UV–visible spectroscopy to study of SDS/IL systems is also investigated using Crystal Violet as the probe. Cyclic voltammetry, dynamic light scattering, and TEM imaging are employed to investigate the size and morphology of aggregates. According to the findings, addition of butyl-chained ILs to aqueous SDS results in only a slight gradual increase in average aggregate size whereas the size of SDS assemblies are dramatically increased upon addition of hexyl-chained ILs. It is proposed that BMIm+ cations of the IL undergo Coulombic attractive interactions with anionic headgroups adsorbed at the micellar surface in aqueous SDS whereas HMIm+ interact through hydrophobic chain–chain attractions as well. Thus, mixed micellization results in formation of vesicles. A micellar phase change from vesicles to micelles takes place at higher [SDS]/[IL] ratios. All of these processes are successfully tracked by the employed techniques. | [

In Chapter 2 we give a detailed introduc- tion to the coordinate Bethe Ansatz for the Lieb-Liniger model and the spin-1/2 XXZ spin chain, and a brief review of the algebraic Bethe Ansatz. Special at- tention is given to the thermodynamic limit of the coordinate Bethe Ansatz, as this is essential for a careful derivation of the quench action approach. Readers familiar with Bethe Ansatz techniques can safely skip this chapter. In Chapter 3 we give a technical introduction to global quantum quenches and the generalized Gibbs ensemble. Then, the quench action approach is carefully derived from first principles. We also specify for which initial states and what type of observables the QA method is applicable. An explicit first check of the QA approach in the context of the transverse-field Ising chain, which is mappable to free (Majorana) fermions, is reviewed. The first implementation of the QA approach to a truly interacting inte- grable model is presented in Chapter 4 for a quench from the 1D free-boson gas to the repulsive Lieb-Liniger model. Due to creeping infinities of the local conserved charges the GGE is inapplicable and only the QA approach can solve this quench problem in the thermodynamic limit. Exact overlaps are given, the GTBA equation is derived and analytically solved, and the physical properties of the representative state are discussed. We also compute the postquench time- evolution of the density-density correlator in the Tonks-Girardeau regime. Chapter 5 is devoted to quenches from the N ́eel state to the spin-1/2 XXZ chain in the gapped phase and at the isotropic point. We solve this problem using the QA approach and analyze its solution in great detail. Interestingly, we are also able to perform an exact GGE analysis for these quenches and make (analytical) comparisons between both methods. Modelling the Bragg pulse for the Lieb-Liniger gas in Chapter 6 brings us closer to actual experiments, like the one in Ref.. We apply the quench action logic to instantaneous pulses on the Tonks-Girardeau ground state and use the Fermi-Bose mapping to study long Bragg pulses and pulses in a parabolic trap, for which we identify a pre-thermalization plateau governed by the GGE. In the concluding Chapter 7 we do three things. We summarize the main results of this thesis, we give an overview of other applications of the QA approach to different models than the ones considered here, and we present some pressing open problems (to some of which we also present preliminary solutions) and directions for future research. | [

Introduction and Development
Introduction and Development
The Kawanishi H8K 'Emily' was the fastest and most heavily armed flying boat to enter service in significant numbers during the Second World War, and was considered by Allied pilots to be the hardest Japanese aircraft to shoot down.
Work on the H8K began in 1938, in response to a 13-Shi specification for a large flying boat to replace the Kawanishi H6K, which had just entered service. The new aircraft was to have a top speed of 276mph, a cruising speed of 207mph and a normal range of 5,180 miles. Kawanishi responded with a high-wing monoplane with a large hull, a single vertical tail, and a superficial resemblance to the Short Sunderland, although the H8K was larger and would prove to have much better performance. The aircraft had eight small unprotected fuel tanks in the wings and six larger partially self-sealing tanks in the lower hull. These tanks were placed over fuel-proof bilges, and any split fuel could be pumped into other tanks. The aircraft could carry 3,249 gallons of fuel, giving it a range of over 4,400 miles, down on the specification but still very impressive. Unusually for Japanese aircraft of the period, the H8K was heavily armoured and would prove to be a sturdy aircraft.
The prototype was completed on 31 December 1940. Its maiden flight came in the following month and was somewhat disappointing. The aircraft was good in the air, but was unstable during high-speed taxing and during take-off. These problems were solved by increasing the depth of the hull by 1ft 7 11/16in and modifying the shape of the hull bottom. Towards the end of 1941 the modified aircraft was approved for production as the H8K1 Navy Type 2 Flying Boat Model 11.
Although the H8K was designed as a long range maritime patrol aircraft, its first combat mission was actually a bombing raid on Hawaii. This was a long range attack launched by two aircraft based in the Marshall Islands on 4-5 March 1942. They refuelled from a submarine at a site in the French Frigate Shoals, then made a disappointing raid on Oahu, where heavy cloud prevented them from bombing accurately. A second raid at the time of the battle of Midway had to be cancelled because the American fleet was using French Frigate Shoals.
For the rest of the war the H8K served as a long range reconnaissance aircraft, a role in which it excelled. Its high speed allowed it to escape from many Allied fighters and its armour and self-sealing fuel tanks meant it could survive an attack.
The H8K2 was the best flying boat to serve with any side during the Second World War. It was over 100mph faster than the Consolidated Catalina, although carried about the same payload. It was slightly larger than the Short Sunderland, which it resembled physically, but had over 2,400hp more power, was 70mph faster and much heavier armed. Again the payload was about the same although the Sunderland could carry more bombs. However both of this Allied aircraft were built in rather larger numbers than the H8K. Around 750 Sunderlands were built, while over 3,200 Catalinas were completed. In contrast only 167 H8Ks were built.
H8K1 Navy Type 2 Flying Boat Model 11
The first production version of the H8K differed slightly from the prototype. It was powered by 1,530 Mitsubishi Kasei 11 or 12 radial engines, as on the prototype, but had a modified vertical tail and reduced defensive firepower, with some of the 20mm cannon replaced with machine guns. Even so it was still left with one 20mm cannon in each of the dorsal and tail turrets, and flexibly mounted 7.7mm machine guns. It could carry two 1,764lb torpedoes, eight 551lb bombs or sixteen 132lb bombs or depth charges, all held under the wings. Only sixteen were built before production switched to the H8K2.
H8K2 Navy Type 2 Flying Boat Model 12
The H8K2 was powered by four 1,850 Mitsubishi MK4Q Kasei 22 radial engines, with water injection to increase power. Speed went up by 21mph, and four minutes were cut off the time to 16,405ft. The extra engine power also increased the aircraft's maximum operating weight, allowing the armament to be increased to include 20mm cannon in nose, dorsal and tail and port and starboard beam positions, as well as 7.7mm machine guns in a ventral position, port and starboard fuselage sides and the cockpit hatches, for a total of ten guns. This made the H8K2 the most heavily armed flying boat in service with any side during the Second World War. Allied airmen considered it to be the hardest Japanese aircraft to shoot | [

A mobile LED screen is an LED display built out on a steel frame and mounted on an open or enclosed trailer. The display system is also equipped with hydraulic lifting and rotation.
Unlike mobile LED screens, wall LED screens do not move. An LED video wall is an LED display made up of smaller LED panels that are linked together to make the larger display. An LED wall screen display provides similar advantages to mobile LED displays — high-quality pictures, versatility and weather-resistance — but it is not transportable.
Not being on wheels may sound like a minor detail, but it can affect the user experience a lot. For example, a standard LED wall screen needs to be loaded, unloaded and reconfigured at each new event. This process tends to require a skillful crew and a few technicians who know their way around LED technology.
Although transporting and setting up wall LED screens may take a bit more effort, the resulting display is magnificent. Just like a mobile LED screen, an LED wall display creates one giant seamless screen to show off your advertisement, message or featured presentation. There's no doubt that the stunning spectacle of an LED video wall will captivate people's attention.
1) display content on-the-go
There are many types of event LED displays, but at some events, having the ability to transport a screen to where the audience is going can be hugely beneficial. For example, at a golf tournament, the crowd is always on the move between holes – having an LED system that can stream the tournament directly to the audience members, no matter where they are, will boost audience engagement and get your content in front of more viewers.
When compared to custom-built modular LED walls, mobile LED displays are a more affordable event technology option. Not only is the rental price better, there’s no sacrifice in terms of picture quality – with the capabilities of today’s mobile LED systems, you can choose from a variety of pixel pitches and resolutions to deliver crystal clear visuals, improving the experience for event attendees.
3) ease of use
You can really get the most out of this event technology thanks to it’s easy-to-use design. Mobile LED displays are generally built with the end operator in mind – especially one that doesn’t have much experience setting up or running event technology equipment. While they are simple to use, most event companies like Mathes Event Productions, will even help handle the behind-the-scenes set-up, operation and tear-down of the display if you wish, so you can focus on hosting a spectacular event.
What type of screen should you use for your event — a mobile LED screen or a wall LED screen? The answer depends on how much time, energy and money you have to spend on your LED display. If you're short on time or staff, the easiest solution is to rent a mobile LED display.
You only need one person to set up a mobile LED display, and it can be set up in a matter of minutes. As a bonus, a mobile LED screen is easy to use and transport. If you plan to use the display again for another event, you don't have to dismantle and reconfigure the setup.
Accordingly, a mobile LED screen is better for most events. But if you want a more permanent LED screen setup, a wall LED screen could be your answer.
HSC LED is a professional LED display supplier, which specializes in various kinds of LED displays, including mobile truck LED display and mobile bus LED display. If you have any more questions or needs about LED display, kindly click here to contact us. | [

Recovering detailed normals from photo textures.
By Scott Warren
I've authored many image-based normal maps for our game and I thought it was time I document how I'm doing it.
It started from a technique one of our character modelers, Sean McBride, started playing with, then I just changed how I started the process and made it simpler for myself.
So basically, it's like this:
1. Author a diffuse texture or recover one from a photograph to begin. In my example, It'll be this rock material:
2. Take your texture into Photoshop and convert it to 16bit color, and then desaturate it.
- We work in 16bit color space with normal maps to avoid color banding later on due to the nature of this process.
- Depending on the texture, you may need to hand-paint different grayscale values to get the black and white image to correctly represent the height of the diffuse texture.
Optional. To prevent having to make the final texture tilable, use this suggestion by Armitage Shanks: Make sure your color texture is already tileable. Tile the image at least 9 times into a blank canvas which is three times the width and height of the source image. Doing this before starting the creation of the blurred overlays will ensure that the central copy of the image will already be perfectly tiled once you complete the normal map. The final step would be simply cropping the image to the center copy and saving it out.
3. Run the Nvidia normal map filter on your tweaked grayscale image.
I usually start off with a base height of "5" in the filter options. It's enough to see a result but not high enough to make things too sharp. This initial pass will act as the foundation for the rest of the process.
At this point, if your normal map looks too noisy, like this:
You'll need to run a surface blur on it to remove the extreme noise, but don't use too much of a surface blur so that it starts to eat away the larger details. You need to experiment to find out what works best for your texture. (You can also use 3x3 or 5x5 as the Filter Type, instead of '4 Sample', this way you also get a normalmap with less noise)
So now we have our base normal. This is where it gets fun. Depending on the surface you're recovering a normal from, this next step will change.
For the rock example, we can see in the diffuse that it's mainly broad areas of shading, crevices and cracks, not too many fine details. You can always add a fine detail overlay in your game engine if you want close details. We really want to focus on the more broad result we want the normal map to give us.
4. This is when we start making things happen.
- Take your base normal map, duplicate it, put the duplicate on top of the background layer, and set it to overlay mode. Overlay mode is a non-destructive addition of the normal colors. By overlaying it onto itself, you've just made it twice as intense as it was before.
5. - Take that layer copy, and duplicate it, and put it above the first duplicate.
Now depending on the type of surface, the amount you blur this new layer will be different. For the rocks, let's try something like a 3 pixel gaussian blur.
6. Run a 3 pixel blur on this 3rd layer copy, and drag it to the top of the layer stack. Each new layer you make will go above the one below it in the stack.
7. Stack this layer on top of itself once, then duplicate it, and blur it with a 6 pixel gaussian blur.
What we're doing is essentially creating our own "steps" of elevation in the normal map by overlaying blurred copies of the normal map on top of itself. Duplicate a layer, blur it a little more than the last one, put it on top, duplicate that copy, blur it, drag it on top, etc. etc..
How much you blur the layer copies really depends on the texture itself, so there's no "proper" amount to always use. You'll just need to decide what's best. (You can also use 'Copy Merged' to copy the whole canvas into a new layer, this way you get a stronger effect much quicker)
The end result should look like this:
This final composite will need to be re-tiled by offsetting the texture and clone stamping it, or by using a program like Seamless Texture Generator Pro to help you out.
Note: After you have finished with this process, you'll need to recover the blue channel for the normal map. To do this, flatten your image, run it through the Nvidia filter again but set the filter to " | [

The HK69A1 is a 40mm grenade launcher developed and produced by the German arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch. The weapon was designed to engage enemy troops and strongpoints out to a distance of 350 m; it can also be used to deploy smoke grenades and illumination flares.
The launcher's history dated back to the late 1960s, when development began of a weapon intended to be fitted under the barrel of the 7.62mm G3A3 rifle. In 1972 the prototype was unveiled of what would ultimately become the Granatepistole HK69. After being evaluated, the decision was made to develop an autonomous stand-alone version of the grenade launcher, which was created in 1979 and designated the HK69A1. In the 1980s the weapon was adopted into service with the German Army as the Granatepistole 40 mm (known also in the abbreviated form GraPi). It is also used by the special forces and security personnel of several other countries.
The grenade launcher is a single-shot, shoulder-fired, breech-loaded weapon that fires a projectile using the High-Low System. The main component is the frame that contains and integrates all of the weapon's mechanisms and assemblies. The weapon features a rifled barrel, which is hinged at the front and tilted upward ("break action") for loading and removing spent shell casings. The barrel in the "combat ready" position locks into the frame with a rotary latch, mounted at the rear of the frame. The grenade launcher does not have an extractor; instead notches were cut into the base of the barrel that enable the operator to remove spent shell casing manually.
The HK69A1 has a single action firing mechanism with an exposed hammer that is cocked manually with the thumb after loading a round. A manual safety secures against accidental firing; the safety is ambidextrious and provides a lever on both sides of the frame, above the trigger.
The grenade launcher is aimed using iron sights that consist of a front post (adjustable for elevation) and a rear sight that has a flip-up dual aperture for short-range engagements (50 and 100 m settings) and a folding type ladder sight for long distance firing, that is folded down and over the barrel when stowed. The weapon has a synthetic pistol grip, a lightweight telescopic metal stock with a rubber shoulder pad and sling wivels for use with a sling. The grenade launcher is typically carried in a thigh holster. | [

The Allen family of New Bedford Massachusetts is descended from George Allen who’s children and descendants would eventually settle in Old Dartmouth and New Bedford Massachusetts. This is an extensive genealogy of five sons of the fourteen children of James Allen and Sarah Howland of New Bedford MA, including the ancestry of James Allen back to George Allen.
The Stetson family of Bridgewater is one of the oldest and most prominent in that section of the State, and it has for upward of two centuries been identified with the manufacturing interests of the town, its representatives being the founders of the iron industry of Bridgewater. Especial reference is made to Capt. Abisha Stetson, who was one of the first to engage in the iron business; his son, Nahum Stetson, whose name was a household word in his native town, and who by his great foresight, enterprise and progressive ideas built up the great Bridgewater Iron Works; and the latter’s sons and grandsons, all men of substance and good citizenship.
KELLEY (New Bedford family Haverhill branch). At New Bedford for several generations have lived what for designation may be termed the Haverhill-New Bedford Kelleys. Reference is made to some of the descendants of William Kelley and his wife Abigail (Cannon) Kelley, both natives of the town of Haverhill, one of whose sons, the late Henry C. Kelley, was in the earlier half of the nineteenth century a merchant in New Bedford, and his son, the present Charles Sampson Kelley, since young manhood has been one of the most active and useful citizens of the city, having coupled his name with most if not all of the projects which have tended to the developing and modernizing of the city, one whose efforts in this direction have been especially conspicuous; and who, as a business man, banker and broker, is the architect of his own successful career.
The name Kelley, which was originally spelled Kelleigh, can be traced back to a period prior to the Norman conquest, and its barons are undoubtedly descended from the ancient Britons. The principal manorial seat of the family in England has been for many centuries located in the small parish of Kelly (or Kelley) in Devonshire. Burke and Shirley both agree as to its great antiquity, and the latter asserts that the Kellys have been lords of the manor from the reign of Henry II. (1154-1189). All the Kelleys in New England prior to 1690, with the exception of David Kelley of Yarmouth, Mass., freeman, 1657, and possibly one other family, appear to have been of English origin, and in all probability were of the Devonshire stock.

Alexander Bisset Munro was born 25 Dec. 1793 at Inverness, Scotland to Donald and Janet (Bisset) Munro. Alexander left Scotland at the age of 14, and lived in Dimecrana in the West Indies for 18 years. He owned a plantation, raising cotton, coffee and other produce. He brought produce to Boston Massachusetts on the ship of Solomon Dockendorff. To be sure he got his money, Solomon asked his to come home with him, where he met Solomon’s sister, Jane Dockendorff. Alexander went back to the West Indies, sold out, and moved to Round Pond, Maine, and married Jane. They had 14 children: Janet, Alexander, Margaret, Nancy, Jane, Mary, Solomon, Donald, John, William, Bettie, Edmund, Joseph and Lydia.

#386: The Flower Children by Marcia Strassman
Marcia Ann Strassman was born in New York City in 1948. She replaced Liza Minelli in the Off-Broadway musical reprise of Best Foot Forward in 1963, after Minelli left to rehearse for Carnival! In their September 11, 1963, issue Variety described Strassman as “a winning comedienne.” At the age of 15, Strassman appeared in three episodes of The Patty Duke Show in 1964 in the role of Adeline. In the summer of ’64, Strassman worked with Shelley Winters and Robert Walker in a Westport (CT) production of Days of the Dancing, described by Variety as a story of “beatniks wasting their lives in at a beach bar in Venice, Cal.” When she turned 18 in 1966, Marcia Strassman moved to Los Angeles in search of new opportunities. One of the first things she did was get a recording contract with Uni Records. | [

The Michigan Senate has formed a task force to quickly study workplace safety practices that could be implemented in businesses once Gov. Gretchen Whitmer eases restrictions on commerce and economic activity as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.
Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey formed the workgroup on the same day the Legislature met for an extraordinarily precautious session at the Capitol to approve a resolution granting Whitmer 23 more days of the emergency powers she has used to halt economic activity to mitigate human-to-human spread of COVID-19.
In a first-ever video conference call on Zoom with reporters, Shirkey said he wants senators to identify businesses that can resume work before the rest of the labor force returns to factory, office and service sector jobs.
"I believe we'll be able to identify businesses and commercial activity even as early as next week that with very little change and very little effort, they could be deemed safe and begin to slowly ramp up economic activity in Michigan," Shirkey said.
One type of work routinely cited by business people are some politicians are carpenters, landscapers and commercial lawn care services, which usually involve as few as one person working in isolation.
Whitmer said as recently as last week that those types of jobs remain nonessential during the coronavirus outbreak, which has led to the deaths of 845 Michigan residents. As of Tuesday morning, 18,970 Michigan residents had tested positive for the coronavirus, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
Whitmer said Tuesday the coronavirus outbreak has showed no sign of peaking and urged caution on resuming normal activity.
"The worst thing we could do is to prolong how long we're combating COVID-19 or just simply resume life the way it was and have a second wave," Whitmer said Tuesday afternoon in a conference call with reporters. "It would be devastating."
The governor has said she will likely extend her stay-at-home order for nonessential businesses beyond the current expiration date of April 13.
Shirkey said the Senate's workgroup will complement a similar effort underway involving executives of major corporations and health care systems based in Michigan.
Crain's first reported Saturday that DTE Energy Co. Executive Chairman Gerry Anderson and former Henry Ford Health System CEO Nancy Schlichting are co-chairing a group they have assembled that includes executives from the automotive, banking, construction, health care and furniture industries, as well as experts in public health and infectious disease.
The group plans to put forward a broad set of recommendations on practices businesses can implement to mitigate further spread of the coronavirus, which public health experts have warned could linger in the population for months as asymptomatic carriers spread it.
"We're bringing a bottom-up look at this instead of a top-down look," said Sen. Ken Horn, R-Frankenmuth, who is chairing the workgroup.
Horn said the panel will put forth a set of recommendations to Whitmer on protocols the state may want to require businesses to follow in terms of workplace sanitization and continued social distancing.
The other senators on the workgroup will include Sen. Wayne Schmidt, R-Traverse City; Sen. Curt VanderWall, R-Ludington; Sen. Stephanie Chang, D-Detroit; Sen. Sylvia Santana, D-Detroit; and Sen. Jeremy Moss, D-Southfield.
Shirkey said the Senate is focusing its work on preparing for a transition back into normal work activity.
"Nobody is going to be able to predict — I don't care who they are — what the definition of the exact, right time is," Shirkey said Tuesday.
Shirkey, a business owner whose tool engineering and manufacturing firm has been deemed an essential business, emphasized there will inherently be risks when the state resumes routine business activity.
"We cannot try to achieve zero risk," Shirkey said. "There's no such thing as zero risk. When we get out of the bed in the morning and put our feet on the floor, we are taking risks." | [

The first Lord Tweedmouth is credited as the founder of the breed with a yellow dog bred from black Wavy Coated Retrievers crossed with the Tweed Water Spaniel. This mating produced four yellow puppies. Later additions to the root stock included the Bloodhound and the Irish Setter and the resultant yellow Retrievers became popular in the Border Counties. Eventually the breed was recognised by.

International course on ionizing radiation
A course entitled "Detection, Dosimetry and Protection against Ionizing Radiation" is being conducted at the CBRN Training Centre, Kruševac, this week. The participants include SAF members and armed forces of eight other countries.
This five-day course aims to prepare the participants for working while being exposed to ionizing radiation. In the labs and during practical lessons, they will be practicing how to use detection and dosimetry equipment, techniques for measuring and determining the sources of ionizing radiation, how to assess the effects of radiation on biological systems and take basic protective measures.
This international course is being taught by certified CBRN Training Centre instructors and visiting lecturers from the "Vinča" Institute of Nuclear Science, Academy of Professional Studies "Šumadija" and Serbian Radiation and Nuclear Safety and Security Directorate.
A great interest of partner countries’ armed forces in this and similar international courses offered by our Centre is proof of the competence of our instructors and the quality of CBRN training conducted in the Serbian Armed Forces. | [

I was wondering if it is somehow possible to send the video mix of djay Pro to an Apple TV via AirPlay.
My setup: iPad Pro with djay Pro on the same wifi with six HomePods and one AppleTV. Starting an Automix, I can play the audio on all HomePods simultaneously. I can also add the Apple TV but it only plays the audio, not video.
I was able to connect iPad Pro with a wired AV adapter to my TV to display video while playing audio on the HomePods via AirPlay. This of course resulted in a time delay between audio and video. Therefore I’m hoping to find a solution to play audio AND video over AirPlay to have them synchronized again.
Thanks for your reply, but I can’t find such option in djay Pro on iPad.
I can mirror the screen on my AppleTV but then the sound only plays on my TV. It is no longer possible to send audio to the HomePods via AirPlay.
Generally, when you have a screen/monitor connected to your iOS device (either through HDMI or AirPlay) the “Mirror Output” option will appear in the djay settings as explained by @eFromDC. Enabling this will share the exact same screen your iOS device is showing to your connected display.
Please also note that whenever you’re using Bluetooth or AirPlay to stream audio or video, your mix will have significant latency. This is not something that can be overcome at this point.
It’s not currently possible to connect audio and video to different AirPlay devices. I believe this limitation is imposed by iOS. We apologize for the inconveniences this might cause you. | [

Directly Probing the Effects of Anions on Hydration Forces
The interfacial water structure and the associated short-range hydration forces have long been recognized as essential for many phenomena and processes in nature and technology, including the stability of colloidal systems, the assembly of soft biological and non-biological matter on molecular and supramolecular scales, wetting, water desalination, lubrication, and catalysis, including in particular electro-(phooto)catalytic water splitting. In recent years, advances in atomic force microscopy technology have enabled the imaging and probing of Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) and hydration forces at solid-liquid interfaces with unprecedented resolution (Fig. 1a.). The charge and polarizability of the interface and surrounding ions, ion valency, and concentration are all expected to play a role in determining the relative magnitude of hydration forces. Recently, researchers at PCF observed that hydration forces (oscillatory and a monotonically decaying part) between sharp silica AFM tips at mica-water interfaces are strongly affected by the presence of alkali chloride salts (Fig. 1b.). The monotonic hydration force gradually decreases in strength with decreasing bulk hydration energy, leading to a transition from an overall repulsive (Li+, Na+) to an attractive (Rb+, Cs+) force. The oscillatory part, in contrast, is hardly affected by the presence of strongly hydrated cations (Li+, Na+), but it becomes completely suppressed in the presence of weakly hydrated cations (Rb+, Cs+) (Fig. 1b.).
Figure 1. a) Schematic of water layers with highly ordered surface-bound layers of opposite polarity and gradually increasing positional and orientational order with increasing distance from the solid surface. Schematics for the AFM measurement on hydration layers on a negatively charged surface. b) Averaged force gradient (−dF/dz; thick green lines) and normalised force (F/R; thin black lines) versus apparent tip-sample separation measured in 50 mM NaCl and CsCl solutions..
The big question of this Bachelor assignment is to identify how anions influence hydration forces on mica surfaces. To this end, you will perform Atomic Force Microscopy measurements in ambient aqueous electrolytes of variable composition (salt content, pH) to follow the evolution of hydration forces for a set of common anions (ClO4−, NO3−, and SO42−) with Na+ and Cs+ as the co-ions. It will also be explored how the hydration forces depend on the AFM tip type and surface charge.
In addition to the standard learning objectives for a Bachelor’s project (research planning, academic writing, data presenting, how to work in a lab environment, etc.), you will:
· Learn to perform and interpret high resolution in situ Atomic Force Microscopy experiments
· Learn about the physical chemistry of aqueous electrolyte and solid-electrolyte interfaces (which are both ubiquitous in nature and technology)
· Have basic chemical-lab training (preparing solutions and surfaces, etc.)

A sportsbook is a place where you can bet on different types of sporting events. They are legal in certain regions of the world and can be found online or in retail locations. Some of them even have mobile sites that let you place bets on the go.
A money line is a bet that shows a number of points or runs or goals that an underdog will score or lose in a particular game. A moneyline bet is typically used when betting on lower-scoring sports like baseball, hockey and soccer.
If you’re a newcomer to online sports betting, you’ll want to choose a sportsbook that offers multiple deposit and withdrawal options. The best ones accept credit cards, debit card payments and E-wallets. They also offer quick payout speeds, so you can bet with ease and withdraw your winnings quickly.
Incentives for Sports Betting
A lot of sportsbooks offer different incentives to attract new bettors and encourage them to come back to their site. These can include sign-up bonuses, first deposit bonuses, reload bonuses and risk-free bets. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of each sportsbook’s promotion, including the minimum wager amounts and rollover requirements.
Sports databases are a great way to find historical data that can help you make informed bets on sports matches and teams. You can look up player and team performance statistics, stadium locations and other information that will help you make better decisions on your bets.
You can also use these data to find weaknesses in the odds and lines that are set by the sportsbook. For example, if the Los Angeles Rams are favored by more than a touchdown to the Seattle Seahawks in a matchup, you can use the sports database to find out how many passes Russell Wilson has completed in his away games on average over the years.
Bettors can also choose to bet on totals, or over/unders. This type of bet is a simple way to predict whether a team will score more or fewer points in a game than the number set by the sportsbook.
Another popular method of gambling is known as matched betting, and it’s a good strategy for anyone looking to increase their odds of winning a bet. Mike, a user on the r/sportsbook forum, began matched betting about a year and a half ago, and he’s since earned tens of thousands of dollars by harvesting free bets and other bonuses at sportsbooks.
The premise behind matched betting is that you’ll use a promo offer from one online sportsbook to hedge your bet on another online sportsbook for a guaranteed profit. This technique is also referred to as “parlays” or “hedges.”
To start, you’ll need an account at a sportsbook. These are free to open, and they usually offer a variety of deposit and withdrawal options. Once you’ve established an account, you can start placing bets with your favorite sports.
You can also place bets on political elections and other popular events, like the Oscars. However, it’s important to know that betting on these events is not regulated in all countries, so you should always check the local laws before placing any bets. | [

With such an amazing rear garden, the owners don’t need to travel further than their own backyard when looking for somewhere to relax, have fun and entertain friends and family. Thanks to a fully serviced outdoor room, designed for cooking and dining, as well as a games area and special bocce pitch, the owners have everything they need to host intimate family affairs and large-scale parties.
As soon as you step into the outdoor room, you notice how much attention to detail has been paid — and how, because of its seamless integration into the landscape, it has the appearance of having always been there.
Structurally separate from the house, the outdoor room is a great place to prepare and eat a meal while connecting with nature. The room boasts impressive cooking facilities, including a barbecue and a woodfired pizza oven that was custom-made by RB Landscapes. To ensure a perfect fit, RB Landscapes also custom-made the furniture.
“It’s an area that can be enjoyed away from the pressures of the household — where you can’t see the washing that needs to be done, the ironing basket or the dust gathering on the windowsills,” says Richard Bellemo, director of RB Landscapes and designer of this incredible garden. “It’s an area where you can enjoy the sounds of the birds, water and other gifts nature has given us.”
Drawing from his world travels, Richard says his decision to use random slate on the roof of the outdoor room — as well as an array of beautiful natural materials including recycled timber and stone in the room’s construction — was inspired by the mountain villages of Italy and Switzerland.
Bringing nature even closer, living walls and natural ponds surround the entertaining area, providing a microclimate that makes the area warm in winter and cool in summer. The living wall is semi-submerged in the pond and was fashioned to appear like a cliff face. The curved local sandstone wall has been capped with Castlemaine slate, linking the area with the existing pool zone as well as the outdoor kitchen benchtops, which use the same stone. The wall has been cleverly designed to wind up from ground level, creating raised garden beds along the way that serve to protect the entertaining area on windy days. The stonework also has an in-built trough that flows into the spa.
“When designing and building this garden, I took the bush camping approach: leave no trace,” explains Richard. “This is what we have achieved here. Once we had finished this new landscape, it was like it had always been there, as if the new landscape had co-existed with the house from the start.”
This garden is extremely sustainable. Many of its materials are recycled — even the bricks used to create the wall behind the stonework were retrieved from demolition sites. A 50,000-litre water tank was installed and a fully automated drip irrigation system was incorporated into the landscape that feeds from a natural pond — the fish within produce ammonia, which is converted to nitrate via an integrated bio filter. “The plants feed off these nitrates as the water is filtered through the wall,” says Richard. “The water is returned clean and ready for another cycle.”
A beautiful array of plants was used to add greenery and colour to the garden and include Xanthorrhoea quadrangulata, Helmholtzia glaberrima, Asplenium australasicum and Meeboldina scariosa.
Moving around this landscape is made easy by pathways created using steppers rather than solid paving. By choosing steppers, run-off and erosion is reduced and a greater amount of rainwater permeates the soil.
With every detail of this landscape’s design so meticulously thought out, it’s sure to provide enjoyment for the whole family for many years to come. | [

What is Handicap in Football Betting: What does it mean, how does it work & how to play? Know everything with W88indi’s Beginners Guide 2022 & Place your bets!
As a beginner in the sports betting world, you may have been confused with all the betting options available. Thus, you probably always went for the easy betting option, like 1X2 bets, Odd/Even bets, etc. However, if you are here you probably want to try out the other betting options, so we recommend that you start with Asian Handicap Betting in football using our w88 India guide!
The Asian Handicap or Handicap betting in football is one of the most complicated and advanced betting options available in football betting. This betting option is usually denoted by a decimal number with a + or – sign next to the betting odds. The outcome of Handicap bets depends on the end results of the particular match.
In Football matches, making bets on which team will win is always a thrilling experience.
Thus, the unpredictability of the outcome of these sports matches is the main reason why betting on any sport has been growing rapidly as a form of entertainment in India.
This also means that betting becomes boring when the outcome is already visible to the eyes, that is when one team is clearly stronger than the other.
This is when the Handicap bet comes to play, which adds certain conditions to balance out the betting gameplay.
Handicap bets are usually in favour of the weaker team in Soccer Betting. So, the stronger team has to follow certain conditions, and if they are met, the players can bet on them.
The reason the Handicap betting option is a thing in sports betting online is to give the players a proper way to enjoy sports betting online. That being said, Handicap betting is more like 1X2 betting with a twist! The only thing added is the handicap decimals which are either positive, negative or zero, boosting the odds of even the gameplay of the match.
Positive: The positive sign is usually given to the weaker team to increase their chances of winning, meaning to increase their odds.
Negative:?As you guessed, the negative sign is given to the stronger team to even the odds in accordance with the winning team.
Zero:?Handicap bets also sometimes are marked by a 0, where the odds are presented as they are. So, if a bettor bets on a team and the team wins, then they get the payout according to the odds. If it is a tie, they get a refund according to the betting odds.
Thus, Handicap betting is calculated in the same way any 1X2 bets are calculated, using the formula Payout = Odds x Stake.
Thus, the positive or negative decimals keep changing as well as the odds of the football match as the live game goes on. This may sound confusing at first glance but as you play the handicap bet online, you will grasp how these things function.
Now that you know about what Asian Handicap betting in football betting is, let us give you an easy tutorial on how to play Handicap betting in Football at W88.

What to sow, plant and prune in the garden this April
It’s time to start sowing cool-weather crops.
Words: Jane Wrigglesworth
Plant seedlings of Chinese cabbages and lettuces; in colder regions, plant in a tunnel house.
If you have trees on your property, autumn leaves are probably plentiful right now. Rake them up, place in a black plastic bag, poke a few holes in the bag to allow for air, and set aside. They will rot down to create leaf mould, an excellent soil additive.
Try your hand at making your own potting mix with Shirley Hibberd’s recipe from The Amateur’s Greenhouse and Conservatory (1875). “…a bushel (36 litres) of the loam, a peck (9 litres) of leaf mould, a peck of the powdery manure, and half a peck (4.5 litres) of silver sand, and proceed to chop them over and mix them with the trowel, throwing out all large stones as the mixing proceeds. If this is well done, the compost will be ready and will suit perfectly nine-tenths of all the plants you are likely to cultivate.”
Plant an Asian stir-fry garden of bok choy, garland chrysanthemum (shungiku) and the mustardy mizuna and mibuna. All are cold-hardy, leafy greens.
Confused about when and how to prune your raspberries? If they were summer-bearing (January-February), remove the canes that fruited this season as they won’t fruit again. Retain the smaller canes that didn’t fruit as they will fruit next summer. For autumn-bearing raspberries, cut plants right down to the ground after harvesting.
Take hardwood cuttings. Blueberry, currant, lavender, rose, hydrangea, hebes and cuttings of other woody shrubs can be placed directly in the ground or into a free-draining growing medium. Cut it just below a leaf node and then trim the top off just above a leaf node, so the whole cutting is about 30cm long. Remove most of the leaves and dip the ends you will plant in rooting hormone.
Sow beetroot (in milder areas), broad beans, carrots, radishes and spring onions directly
into the garden.
Sow snow or sugar snap peas. Snow peas have flat pods, while sugar snaps have fatter, more rounded pods. You can eat them whole, pod and all. They’re great fresh in green salads or used in stir-fries. Pick sugar snaps before the pods are swollen. Mature pods are tougher, and you may need to remove the ‘string’.
Cabbages should be harvested when the heads are compact and before they split open. To keep mature cabbage heads longer in the garden, cut the plant’s roots with a spade, or pull the plant upward and gently twist to break some of the roots. This reduces water intake; excessive water uptake leads to splitting.
Think spring. April is the best time to get tulip and daffodil bulbs in the ground. One is easier to grow than the other, but both are well worth it. | [

A geotechnical aspect of destruction processes of seashores was identified based on the case of erosion of Gdansk Bay Coast cliff formations. Causative factors of landslide were described in the context of natural phenomena, land development and its anthropogenic transformations. Possible directions of theoretical analysis of changes in ground-water relations were indicated.
The article addresses the application of non-classical operational calculus to approximative solutions of engineering problems. The engineering-sound examples show that a continuous–discrete problem transformation from differential unequivocal problem to a differential wildcard problem, triggering a change in solution quality. A number of approximative methods are capable to alter both quantitative and qualitative solution effects.
The possibilities of using concrete piles in a polymer composite reinforced with glass fibres in offshore facilities were shown. Laboratory tests of CFGFRPT type piles compressed axially and in eccentric compression for the analysis of CFGFRPT piles were used. Methods of analysis of dynamic systems for mathematical modelling of the displacement of the hammer in the pile driving process were applied. The possibilities of combining CFGFRPT piles, including the creation of hybrid piles were also presented. For example, concrete piles can be combined with concrete piles in a polymer composite reinforced with glass fibres with different fibre beam angles. The possibilities of using such hybrid piles in offshore facilities were indicated. | [

When I was a little girl I always believed that to talk to God you must kneel at the edge of the bed with your hands clapped together and your eyes firmly shut. As I grew older I prayed in church, with my parents before bed and when I was in trouble.
I was so used to conventional ways or praying that I hadn't grasped the essence of praying- spending time with God.
For a long time I talked to God as Simba talked to Mufasa in the Sky (The Lion King) as he was far away in the heavens. What I didn't fully understand was that God really is with me always in all my thoughts, minutes and days and this realisation started my God conversation.
My prayer life now is similar to an instant messaging conversation. I talk to God all day, every day and about everything. Thanking him for all the blessings in my life, crying out in times and need and just asking questions. A struggle is making sure I'm praising and not just seeking when I need something.
As Paul writes in the letters to the Philippians he says in chapter 4 verses 6 and 7, 'Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.'
I believe praying is an act of humility. It's me saying to God, 'Hey, I actually don't know what to do anymore. I can't do by myself but through you, I know all things are possible.' When I don't do Gods way and try to do things in my own strength and this will never succeed. In Proverbs chapter three verse five it talks about leaning not on our own strength but putting all trust in God.
Friends often ask what it's like when I talk to God and if I really hear his voice and I've often found it hard to put it into words that will make them understand. Often I say I just talk to God like I talk to a friend but I explain that it is really so much more because when I talk to God, there's no waffle or small talk in the conversation, it's real. He knows all my thoughts and he knows my heart- it's the most intimate relationship anyone can have.
In Proverbs Chapter 4 verse 23 it says, 'Be very careful what you think, your thoughts run your life.' How you think about things can affect your outlook on life, whether it is positive or negative, your attitudes towards others and your behaviour in everyday life.
I often find that my thoughts can even affect my prayer life and limit my communication with God. But God doesn't want this, he instructs us to pray as it draws us closer to him. Communication is a natural part of life and something many of us depend on for our normal lives to function and so is the same with God, when we don't talk to God, we begin to feel disconnected from God.
In Matthew chapter 26 verse 41 it says, 'Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you. For through the spirit is willing enough, the body is weak!".

Being that I speed-optimize WordPress websites for hundreds of clients on a monthly basis, it's my service to understand which image compression really is the best. Much better compression rates, offers WebP format, provides GLOSSY format (high quality compression for professional photographers), excellent prices. This is my default go-to if you need serious compression.
If anything, often even sharper than the original. Get WP Compress Super amazing complimentary service. Can do limitless images but your readily available quota begins little and increases slowly with each (batch) optimization demand. Amazing choice to optimize lots of images totally free. Get LiteSpeed Cache plugin Another high-end image plugin that was formerly the very first location.
Some compression settings might be much better than ShortPixel. Extremely simple to utilize. From the creators of the highly-acclaimed WP Rocket cache plugin. I'm beginning to dislike it. Numerous customer websites running slow with it on! 8/24/18 EWWW, WP Smush, Kraken, and so on they are not as excellent IMO. You get uglier images with artifacts and/or the image size is not as small.
Some are also puffed up. With that said, some clients really like them! EWWW leaves settings/items in your database when you install.
Compressing your images can not just assist you save bandwidth, however also increase page load speeds and thereby benefit your from the SEO viewpoint. This is since Google and other online search engine consider Page load speeds an essential element when it pertains to ranking sites. By hand compressing images for wordpress can be a bit challenging as wordpress auto-generates cropped/resized versions of the original image upon upload.
So even if your initial image was enhanced you will still require to re-optimize all these new sizes (unless you are just going to be utilizing the initial image) which can be a little a work. You can fix this issue by utilizing a WordPress image compression plugin that compresses all auto-generated image sizes along with the initial image.
These are, TinyPNG, WP Smush and EWWW Image optimizer. Out of these three, EWWW Image optimizer compresses images right within your server, whereas the other two transfer your image to their own server and after that transfer the optimized image back overwriting the initial image. In this post, let's take a more detailed take a look at each of these plugins, their advantages and disadvantages and after that find out which plugin is the very best when it pertains to compressing images (JPEG and PNG) to the max while maintaining the image quality.
The terms Image Optimization and Image Compression have actually been used interchangeably in this short article. To keep it simple, lossy compression is a type of compression where the image is compressed with some loss of quality. The loss of quality can be kept to a minimum so it is not readily noticeable.
As the name suggests, in lossless compression the image is compressed while maintaining the initial quality of the image. While the quality of the image is kept the compression in this case will not be ideal. Now that we have familiarized ourselves with these terms, let's take a look at these three plugins in more information: First in line is TinyPNG which is an excellent plugin for compressing PNG and JPEG images.
The compressed image is then sent out back to your server where it overwrites the original files with the brand-new compressed version. This service is 100% totally free for compressing as much as 500 images on a monthly basis. To compress more than 500 images in a month you will require to sign-up for a pro account.
For more details visit this link: https://tinypng.com/developers!.?.!Let's see how this plugin compresses, JPEG and PNG images. To compress PNG images, TinyPNG uses the open source tool which is an exceptional lossy compression software that works by converting 24-bit PNG image submits to much smaller sized 8-bit indexed color files. This of-course methods there will be loss in quality, but it would be extremely minimal, nearly undetectable. Unsure which encoder they use for this function, however I believe.
it is JPEGTran, mozjpeg and/or JPEGOptim (best free compressor plugin). As soon as you have installed and activated the plugin, go to Settings > Media and select the file sizes that you desire the plugin to compress. For example, if you are just going to utilize the Original image and the thumbnail image, then un-check all other sizes. This implies, if you have 10 different image sizes per image, you will reach your regular monthly use of 500 images when you have actually compressed 50 images (50 images x 10 sizes ). Images are compressed immediately as you upload them and as of now there is no option to change this which is a bit of a drawback. You can | [

NASA’s Osiris Rex mission has just reached a major milestone with a successful collection of a sample of material from the asteroid Bennu. Now the material is safely stowed and on its way back to Earth.
The asteroid belt is the solar system’s ultimate time capsule. The rocky debris scattered across all those millions of miles is the leftover material from the formation of the solar system, left essentially unchanged for billions of years. Understanding the members of the asteroid belt, and especially what they’re made of, can help us solve some long-standing mysteries in the deep history of our system.
The downside is that the asteroid belt is really, really far away, situated between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. So we can’t exactly send crewed missions there (at least not yet ), and the asteroids themselves are so small that we can’t yet land a rover on them.
So if we can’t go to the asteroid belt, we need to bring the asteroid belt to us.
this is one of the primary goals of the OSIRIS-REx mission, which launched from Earth in 2016. The mission’s target is the asteroid Bennu, an assuming rock with a 1/3-mile diameter on a convenient Earth-crossing orbit. The main part of the mission will orbit the little asteroid and study it for years to come. But another key component of the mission was to reach out, grab a piece of that asteroid, and send it in a capsule to return to Earth so that we can study it in our laboratories.
The attempt to grab some Bennu dust was overwhelmingly successful, so much so that the capsule couldn’t quite close as it was overflowing with material. But NASA has reported that the capsule is now closed and safely stowed, and ready for its journey back home.
You can see it in the image above, where the spacecraft’s Sample Return Capsule has been successfully closed after the Touch-And-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM) arm moved the sample into the proper position.
That sample won’t make it back to Earth until 2023, at which point the sample will be distributed to laboratories around the world for further study. | [

Have you ever noticed how much happier you feel when there’s music on? Picture the following two scenarios: First, you walk into a restaurant, and it’s completely silent besides the clatter of silverware and buzz of lights above. Now imagine a restaurant with your favorite song lightly pulsing through every room, just loud enough to enjoy while still able to chat. Suddenly, you feel like relaxing back in your seat with a drink for hours—or perhaps even dancing.
Your home will also come alive with a whole house audio system. Whether you prefer Billie Holiday, Billy Joel, or Billie Eilish, music will follow you from room to room, so you won’t have to stay wherever one speaker is located. But what speakers should you use to build a whole-house audio system? We share different speaker models to help you find the right choice for your Austin, TX, house below.
In-Wall and In-Ceiling Speakers
The most elegant and minimalistic approach to whole home audio is the in-wall or in-ceiling speaker. You can enjoy high-quality background music at all hours without the bulky appearance of technology. Wires are hidden within the walls, and speaker grilles can even be painted to further blend into your décor.
Bookshelf speakers are certainly more visible than in-wall models, but they offer generally higher sound quality. They’re still easy to rearrange and move and are small enough to place on, yes, a bookshelf, but also tables and countertops. | [

Removing marine debris from nesting beaches can help baby sea turtles increase their chances of survival. Humans discard unwanted fishing gear in the open ocean and tons of our plastic trash floats on the ocean’s surface, where the young turtles spend most of their time.
Take pictures of sea turtles (left and right profile and dorsal view) to help create a database to identify individuals, thereby being able to track local turtle populations and their trends, and also identify potential sea turtle hotspots and prioritize their conservation. Submit the sightings here
Plastic bags are petroleum-based and do not biodegrade.Sea turtles and other marine creatures mistake plastics and other garbage as food (such as jellyfish) and ingest it. This mistake causes blockages within their digestive system and eventual death. | [

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Gov. Mike Beebe has declared a state of emergency in Arkansas to assist with the transport of harvested crops during the drought.
Beebe's office said in a statement Thursday the declaration is intended to help Arkansas farmers who are experiencing navigation and transportation difficulties because of the low flow on the Mississippi River.
The declaration temporarily authorizes the issuance of special permits from the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department for the transport of agricultural products to their destinations on controlled access highways, provided the load doesn't exceed 85,000 pounds.
The agricultural products specified are corn, rice, soybeans, and grain sorghum.
This declaration is in effect for 30 days and may be extended depending on future conditions. | [

In Sweetsound’s track, “2 Drunk,” featuring Watson, the artist shows us how braggadocios he can be. He paints a night on the town that involves a club-raging, bed hopping world where everyone is drawn to him. It’s the age old game of girl-chase-boy, but even though Sweetsound can have anyone he wants, he has eyes for only one girl.
After all the “romantic” build-up, and a track that sounds like a Drake B-Side, if Drake ever admitted that he was “2 Drunk” for love, the artist flips his switch back to pomposity and sings about how tonight, love is not a necessity for him and his crush. He’s too drunk for that anyway.
It’s a song that is designed for the club. It has a good enough groove, and lacks enough depth to allow you to forget the responsibilities and vulnerabilities that come out when you really care for someone. It promotes the idea that you can bed a person you like, but you don’t have to give them too much of yourself. Either that, or Sweetsound is warning us that alcohol and romance don’t often mix too well- in more ways than one!
“2 Drunk” is a party song. It flanders ideas about nightlife and random hook ups, and adds in a little bit of misogyny to prove to everyone Sweetsound is still the alpha male in this club.
But, if you’re looking for a chill tune to throw on after you have a few drinks yourself, you can listen to “2 Drunk” | [

New Delhi. The Revised Phased Response Action Plan (GRAP) came into force from Saturday as part of the steps to be taken to deal with the grave challenge of air pollution in Delhi and its adjoining areas.
The Air Quality Management Commission (CAQM) decided to implement the GRAP early this time, taking into account suggestions from the public and experts that early precautionary measures can prevent deterioration in air quality. According to the revised action plan, on the basis of forecast, the polluting activities can be curbed by notifying them three days in advance.
According to officials, the environment department will use the new real-time source appraisal system that will help identify sources of air pollution in real time and the data will be available from October 20.
The Green War Room will monitor the violations of air pollution related rules and redress the complaints keeping in view the methodology being followed for the last two years.
GRAP is now classified under four different stages of adverse air quality in Delhi. Phase I – ‘Poor’, if the Air Quality Index (AQI) is between 201-300. Stage II – ‘Very Poor’ if AQI is between 301-400, Third Stage – ‘Severe’ if AQI is between 401-450. Stage IV – ‘Extremely severe’, if the AQI is above 450. (Language) | [

12. By the People – Designing a Better America at Cooper Hewitt
The Cooper Hewitt exhibit By the People: Designing a Better America, is an exhibition of 60 collaborative designs challenging the country’s social and economic inequality, and presenting designs for more inclusive and sustainable communities. In this quest to show how design can act as a catalyst for positive action, viewers investigate how listening, and valuing local community expertise can be essential as a catalyst for positive action.
As we took a closer look at the 60 designs, we spotted some familiar images, such as the Harlem Hospital Pavilion Facade, with its historically significant mural, which replicates three panels from a Works Progress Administration (WPA) depicting scenes from the African diaspora. And Red Hook WIFI, the wireless mesh network that was the primary communication stream for residents of the area when the internet failed after Superstorm Sandy.
The exhibit also includes such topics as designs for What is Affordable Housing, a Tool Kit for Affordable Housing, Rent Regulation Rights Posters, Mobile Markets and SEEDclassrooms. By the People: Designing a Better America will be on view through February 26, 2017 at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, located at 2 East 91st Street. | [

BROOKLYN — Calling it an “embarrassment of riches” town leaders are trying to decide what will happen with a more than $450,000 surplus from the 2013-14 budget.
As a result of unexpected revenue increases and expenditure decreases, First Selectman Rick Ives said the town and schools are returning a combined $474,313 to the general fund.
“This has happened a couple of years in a row now,” Ives said. “It’s a problem. It’s a good problem, but it’s still a problem.”
Ives said the 2013-14 budget included $271,567 from surplus that was thought to be needed to mitigate any mill increases. That money was restricted and was not counted toward the town’s general fund, Ives said. It now becomes unrestricted. With all of the money returning to the general fund, the town’s surplus has jumped from 9 percent of its annual budget to 14 percent, Ives said. Auditors generally recommend municipalities hold up to 12 percent in reserve.
For this year’s budget the town allocated $124,000 from surplus to keep the tax increase to.24 mills. The Board of Selectmen asked the Board of Finance whether the town should issue a tax refund to residents.
“We have an awful lot of unknowns right now,” finance board member Sandy Brodeur said. “I think it would be premature of us to consider that.”
Ives said the Board of Selectmen is not advocating a refund, but wants to discuss the idea.
Former First Selectman Austin Tanner, who was in office when the budget was developed, said much of the refund is easily explained. Tanner said the town budgeted for a finance director, but never hired one. He said changes to special education resulted in the school board returning more than $150,000.
“I don’t think you should be too hard on yourself about that budget,” Tanner said.
Resident Marion Kervin said she doesn’t want a refund.
“I want you to make sure you scrutinize every line item and do a better job next year,” she said. “I’ve already budgeted for my taxes.”
Board of Finance Chairman Gene Michael Deary said the town has a number of capital projects coming up and he’d rather put the extra money toward that instead of having to raise taxes down the line to pay for them.
“Year after year we craft a budget and we think we have it down,” Deary said. “We do scrutinize every item. I don't think we really missed the mark by $474,000.” | [

Scaffolding for Sale: Top Reasons to Buy Scaffolds
Why should you even consider the many scaffolding for sale options and not just keep on using various platform ladders for DIY and residential construction projects? Scaffolding makes work on building and maintenance projects easier. The equipment quickens the completion of construction projects, helping to avoid penalties for missing project completion deadlines.
Read on to discover six reasons not to miss out on our competitive scaffolding for sale prices:
- Provides Hassle-Free Access to Work Areas
Construction and even surveying of structures at height can be complicated projects. The time it takes a worker to secure an appropriate ladder in place, scale it, and complete a small section of work can be put to better use. Instead, a scaffold is installed, and more than one worker can stand or move around on the platform area without having to descend and climb back up every few minutes after having completed work on a small area. Scaffolding boasts an interconnected design for full access to a larger area where workers can complete projects such as painting or repairs.
- Provides Firm Footing
Workers have to carry tools and concentrate on the job at hand. They must be at their deftest to complete the tasks at height. With such in mind, consider how the flat floor of the scaffold offers a firm and stable surface. The workers can easily position themselves for optimal work safely and allow for maximum focus on the task at hand.
- Improves Safety
A government press release on 9 March 2017 mentioned that 1.5 to 2.5 fatalities were recorded in the construction industry per week during the previous financial year. Also considering that any work at height carries fall risks, it is thus imperative to improve workplace safety for the workers in the industry. With that in mind, the scaffolding we offer for sale is designed specifically to create a stable surface for working at height. The products are sturdy and durable.
- Higher Productivity
Construction and maintenance projects are often done in a race against time. Every day on a project means labour costs. Project managers have to push the envelope to stay within the completion deadlines. Every piece of equipment that improves productivity is thus a valuable asset. Fortunately, we offer purpose-built equipment for sale from trusted brands, ensuring you have access to industry-standard scaffolding that helps to improve productivity and safety at the workplace.
- Hassle-Free Assembly
Although the perception may exist that it is time-consuming to assemble and dismantle scaffolds, the opposite is true. Indeed, the time spent on set up and take-town is a fraction of what it takes to move ladders from one spot to another where workers constantly have to move at a certain level to complete a maintenance or building project. True, ladders are essential, and we offer a wide range for sale, but when it comes to a stable work surface that allows for free movement of one or more workers, we can recommend the use of scaffolding.
- Connects Two Points
Scaffolding is the perfect solution for connecting structures at height. Scaffolds make it possible to create several bridges between areas, helping workers to cover long distances easier and within a shorter time frame than having to get down from structures to move to nearby structures.
If you need structures for working at height, get in touch with us or place your order online. We offer an extensive range of scaffolding for sale. | [

It may have been the death of the King that did it, it may have been the worry over jobs, or it may have been a reaction to a dreadful season, but whatever the reason, local people failed to buy shares in Woolwich Arsenal FC when it was offered for sale in May 1910.
This was the last throw of the dice, the last attempt to salvage the club, and it was failing.
Of course it is easy to blame the locals for not buying up shares in the club, but one must remember that earlier in 1910 the torpedo factory had been moved to the Clyde, and with it 1000 jobs. Men were leaving to find new work, and the future looked grim.
It was not so much that people didn’t believe in the club, they didn’t believe in the future of Woolwich as a thriving employer. (This is something that is explored in more depth in “Making the Arsenal” – the book about 1910.)
So the owners of the existing club did the only thing they could do. They swallowed their pride and took the tram to Fulham, where they met with Henry Norris, and begged him to buy the shares.
Norris made no immediate offer, because simply owning another club was not his prime interest. He already had two clubs (Croydon Common and Fulham) and one more didn’t really make much sense – unless he could move his new club to Fulham either for amalgamation or for ground sharing.
So Norris expressed interest, but otherwise kept quiet, as behind the scenes he started to put together the plans that he would ultimately put to the Football League at their AGM.
Meanwhile the shares remained largely unsold. £1 each – and later five for £3.
It is worth noting that these were the self-same shares that change hands today at £10,000 each. If we take into account inflation in the past 100 years then the actual equivalent value of today’s shares in the currency of 100 years ago is £1,000,000 each. Yes, really, £1m a share.
The value of the shares in Woolwich Arsenal have gone up one million times per share in the course of 100 years. Or basically at a rate of ten thousand times a year.
Not a bad investment really. | [

In anthropology and demography, the human sex ratio is the ratio of males to females in a population. More data are available for humans than for any other species, and the human sex ratio is more studied than that of any other species, but interpreting these statistics can be difficult.
In studying 86 hunter-gatherer bands across North America, South America, Africa, Asia and Australia, researchers found high levels of female infanticide across 77 of them. Moreover, these scientists claim that the trends they found in Finland are similar to those observed in other countries with worse pollution and much greater pesticide use.
Disentangling a clear relationship between development and changes in the sex ratio is difficult because better education and rising incomes can impact aspects of gender selection in opposing ways.
