This book reflects on debates among historians of science, medicine and technology as well as Islamicate societies about fundamental questions of how we think and write about the intellectual and technological past in cultures to which we do not belong any longer or never were a member of. These debates are occasioned by the manner in which amateurs have taken bits and pieces from our academic narratives and those of our predecessors, stripped them of their richness in detail and their often agonizing efforts to interpret these details, and rearranged them in simplifying and often misguided fashion as outdated stories about glory, success, priority and progress. Our texts are accompanied by reflections of professional curators and museum directors about the difficulties of translating academic research into representations that attract different groups of visitors. They are followed by experiences in northern Europe with Islamophobic adversaries of any narrative about Muslim contributions to the sciences, medicine and technolo-gies, and in one of the Gulf States with alleged reformers of the political, economic and edu-cational landscape of the sheikhdom and their use of such amateurish narratives for blocking efforts of critical questioning of such self-congratulatory representations. | 2019-04-24T01:03:19Z | http://edis.sites.truman.edu/1001-distortions/ |
The fire ant is a wingless associate of the order Hymenoptera. The structure of Fire ants is distinct and you can easily identify them once you are well familiar with the morphology of fire ants. Like other insects, the red ants have an exoskeleton, which is an external protective covering around the body.
The body of fire ants is divided into three sections: the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. They have three pairs of legs and a pair of antennae. They have two bulges between the thorax and abdomen - pedicel and postpediole. The fire ants structure can be distinguished from other ants because of their copper brown head and body, with a darker abdomen.
While studying the anatomy of fire ants, let us take a look at the worker. The worker ants are blackish to reddish in color. Their size can vary from 2mm to 6 mm. All these different sizes of the worker red ants live in the same nest. They have ten antennal segments which terminate in a two-segmented club.
Quite often, it becomes a little difficult to distinguish between the structure of Fire ants of different species, for example, Solenopsis invicta and some other species in the genus. Solenopsis sp. ants can be recognized with three body features - a pedicel with two nodes, an unarmed propodium, and antennae with 10 segments and a two segmented club. The morphology of black imported fire ant is not consistent with the number of characters used to study the morphology of fire ants. Hybrids between the two species even make the things more complex.
It is only by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) that positive identifications of the red ants can be made and to mark the differences in the cuticular hydrocarbons.
We hope you found the above article on the structure of Fire ants informative. | 2019-04-21T16:30:05Z | http://dustyant.com/a-detailed-look-at.html |
PublicNotary.com.au is a free-viewing, online Directory of practising Australian Public Notaries providing members of the community, including the legal profession, an opportunity to find suitable and conveniently located notarial services.
Please click on the headings below to read more.
A Public Notary is a government or church appointed law officer authorised to perform certain notary services, including drawing, witnessing, certifying, and verifying international documents required for use overseas.
Most Public Notaries in Australia hold full practising Solicitor's Certificates, concurrent with their Notary appointments.
Legal documents notarised by a public notary often require Apostille or Authentication Certificates which validates the seal and signature of the public notary notarising a document. These Certificates are issued by DFAT, which for administrative purposes, holds on its data base copies of most Notaries' signatures and seals.
Public Notaries also administer oaths in respect of affidavits and statutory declarations for use within Australia.
A Public Notary "protests" bills of exchange (usually cheques, or promissory notes).
He does so by drawing up a formal Statement on behalf of a creditor under his seal and signature, declaring that a debtor has refused to accept or honour a bill of exchange (usually a cheque or promissory note) on its presentation for payment.
In practice, the word "protest" covers all steps taken by a notary to affix liability for a dishonoured cheque upon its drawer.
Today, the practice of protesting bills of exchange in Australia is almost extinct.
A Notary Public also formally "notes" or notarises a ship's captain's written Statement or Protest documenting a maritime misadventure or mishap occurring at sea and causing damage or loss to his vessel and/or its cargo. Examples of incidents of this kind include bad/heavy weather damage, accidents, stranding, beaching, engine breakdowns, and collisions with other vessels, or objects such as wharves or sea creatures.
A ship captain's Protest is a formal security measure taken by him to eliminate any suspicion or suggestion that his crew, he or his ship's officers have been negligent or that their conduct has caused damage or loss to his ship or cargo during the course of its voyage under his command.
The Protest must be noted by a public notary at the first opportunity the vessel arrives at its port of discharge, or at a port of refuge or distress.

Davis Blank Furniss is an official provider of Lawyer Supported Mediation – a new approach for resolving issues that can arise during a divorce or separation.
In our opinion, lawyers and solicitors helping out with mediation is the best choice for separating couples who, although in disagreement, want to avoid the stress and cost of court proceedings. Through the process you are able to keep us as your lawyer, helping to resolve financial issues and to agree upon childcare arrangements.
Lawyer Supported Mediation can combine the best of both worlds for many separating couples. Our family law solicitors can still provide you with all the specialist advice that you require, while a highly qualified mediation solicitor will be able to help you reach an agreement that is fair and legally compliant.
Financial stability: We can provide you with the legal support and advice you need for a fixed fee. Our legal team will take into account your specific requirements and financial circumstances when calculating the amount, and confirm it with you to check you are entirely comfortable.
A well-managed separation: In terms of time and cost, Lawyer Supported Mediation can be highly efficient as it gives you both the opportunity to agree on issues without having to deal with costly and time-consuming court hearings and trials, providing you with financial peace of mind.
An amicable parting of ways: For partners looking to divorce on good terms, mediation solicitors help you to work out any concerns together, which can prevent any additional challenges or further hurt from taking place in the future.
Publicly available statistics tell us that of all the people who attempt family mediation, over two-thirds go on to reach agreement. Of course, if you are unable to reach a satisfactory conclusion, or believe that Lawyer Supported Mediation is not the right approach, our family law solicitors also specialise in traditional divorce methods and can provide assistance during any court proceedings.
What about my separating or former partner?
Both parties are required to participate in family mediation. Our partner and founder of Lawyer Supported Mediation, Advantage Resolution Ltd, can act as a professional go-between to determine whether your spouse is willing to participate, at no additional cost to you.
They will be able to liaise directly with your separating partner. For example, Advantage Resolution can offer them a free legal consultation with a second official provider of Lawyer Supported Mediation who offers a similar range of fixed legal fees to Davis Blank Furniss in order to achieve parity of services. | 2019-04-19T02:59:16Z | https://www.dbf-law.co.uk/solicitors-for-you/family-and-relationships/lawyer-supported-mediation/ |
Although nothing can beat the real experience of a brick-and-mortar casino, online establishments offer some very attractive perks, such as no queues or crowds, and are also a great solution for players who cannot get to land-based casinos. Canada’s online casino selection has flourished in recent times, and secure gambling experiences are now much easier to come by. It’s important for users to find a Multi casino that they feel completely comfortable in the casino that they choose to play at, and it is definitely worth spending some time exploring before settling on the place where they will wager their hard-earned cash!
With so much industry competition, players are usually able to try a casino’s games free as the establishments vie for their patronage, so they can really take their time to decide. Several excellent and reputable sites review casinos online, generally discussing bonuses and prizes, games on offer, licencing bodies, security and support, casino interface and banking options. Players should consider what they want out of their online experience. If they require a casino that performs well on mobile devices, this might be a bigger concern than a wider variety of games. Every situation is different, and by weighing up their options players can make the best choice for theirs.
Certification seals from reputable third parties should always be checked, and are usually found at the bottom of a casino’s homepage. Those from eCorga, TST and iTech Labs are most common, especially for multi software casinos. Players should also note that many online casinos don’t allow gambling with the Canadian Dollar. Those supported by Playtech and Microgaming do, but many others accept Canadian players but not their currency. Euros or American Dollars must be used at these institutions, which should be confirmed before playing.
Most safe Canadian casinos share the same basic safety characteristics, so once players have made sure of these they can choose from all secure options based on their unique preferences and circumstances, which is where a multi software casino really come into consideration. Today’s finest software and casinos deliver incredible graphics, animations and sound effects, and exploring the many games and themes will help players choose their favourites. For example, Realtime Gaming and Net Entertainment are especially renowned for their slots machines, so reel enthusiasts might consider casinos supported by these platforms first. Most reputable casinos also offer customer service 24 hours a day, so players should check that this is available.
A casino’s bonuses are often what first attract players, and should be compared to ensure the best deal. They can swell bank balances enormously if used intelligently, which can require extra finesse at a multi casino. A promotion’s fine print can sometimes mean it is not what it seems, and sites should state the terms and conditions clearly. If a bonus seems too good to be true, it might very well be!
All factors need to be considered when users are deciding where to play. As players evolve and their needs change, they may need to reconsider again. Just as individuals are dynamic, so too are casinos, which just makes everything more exciting! | 2019-04-24T16:03:00Z | https://megacasinobonuses.ca/software/multi-casinos/ |

Anders has been down on the pier again. Bringing a fluorescent yellow semi vented A Quad and a video camera.
…and it looks pretty good, don’t you think?!
It seems like the A-Quad set is complete or close to complete?: standard vent (vent only along the LE), midvent and a hard wind full vent (with a lot of venting). On the other hand, what is in the 2.0 version, what tweaks are there? Does it instead refer to the semi-vented itself?
I have not had the privilege of testing most A-Quads. I have only had the opportunity to test the hard wind full vent during *one* windy after work *session* and need more sessions to form an opinion. However I liked the way it turned and only after some minutes of getting used to it, I could just go on with the wing tip pivot practice. My acclimatization process was short considering my framed quad background – I have been on a strict REV diet 99.7% of the time or more likely.
I’m sure that the wind is hard to build up the waves that rocks that boat in the background of the video. This is not the shore of an ocean, the water from which the waves emerges is only a wide river.
I have never flown a kite backwards this fast as the A-Quad FW. No matter if the cause is the A-quad design, the large proportion of ventilated area or the high wind itself – this was a fun feature.
However, the trailing edge of my sample did experience some some flutter/humming, especially during gusts, when powering up the sail or (the TE of the outer wing half) during turns. I’m not content with *MY* (part of the) sewing work regarding the inner trailing edge here– it seems slightly larger than the length of the sail panels, so I guess that I should redo this part and tighten it up. | 2019-04-22T10:35:58Z | http://kites.aerialis.no/a-yellow-semi-vented-a-quad/ |

He's Comfortable Anywhere He Goes, Mr. Weird Heads.
Donald Trump and Marco Rubio are up in arms about President Obama going to a Mosque.
Rubio’s objections are far more sinister, of course, because he’s a pro at this.
Rubio then compared anti-Muslim bigotry to friendly sports rivalries, and argued that Obama’s speech was really the thing causing division. “But again, it’s this constant pitting people against each other — that I can’t stand that. It’s hurting our country badly,” Rubio said.
So, it’s really okay to hate Muslims. Hey, you hate the Dallas Cowboys, don’t you? Same exact deal.
Trump, of course, wanted headlines so he said some outrageous things so the press would pay attention to him.
“I don’t have much thought, I think that we can go to lots of places. Right now I don’t know if he’s — maybe he feels comfortable there,” Trump said of Obama’s mosque visit during an appearance on Fox News. “We have a lot of problems in this country … there are a lot of places he can go, and he chose a mosque.
Men who are comfortable in their own skin can pretty much go anywhere and be comfortable. You know, like Jesus did.
I need to say something. Rubio and Cruz scare me far worse than Donald Trump does. | 2019-04-22T08:36:47Z | https://crooksandliars.com/2016/02/hes-comfortable-anywhere-he-goes-mr-weird |

Had good time everything was good. Room a little tired especially bathroom. Bath fittings old and lime scaled, floor stained. Skirting board stained with split tea or coffee. Bed very comfortable and linen very white.
Having stayed at this hotel for our 30th wedding anniversary I was very disappointed that they did nothing to make it extra special for myself and my husband whose birthday we were celebrating. Last time we stayed we were upgraded to a superior room which had gowns and slippers included, chocolates in a small box not on a saucer with a napkin and covered over by cling film - very classy !! We were treated quite shabbily in the restaurant - yes it was busy but some guests were receiving great attention and others none our table included- this did not happen last time. I think standards are slipping which is a real shame as the setting is wonderful but I will think twice before booking again.
The room desperately needs decorating/modernising. We had no proper sleep due to an extractor fan running constantly very near to our room. Proper sleep is part of our relaxing process. The beds were very comfortable. Broken window sash cords are not acceptable in 2019!! Neither is flaking paint on interior/exterior woodwork. The restaurant staff and food were both excellent. Make finance available to update the interiors, cut the grass and tidy up all around the premises outside, and you could have a first class destination. Until then as far as we are concerned it will remain on the back burner. | 2019-04-26T16:45:40Z | https://www.countryhotelbreaks.com/wyck-hill-house-hotel-and-spa/?page=2 |

I enjoy reading your blog from time-to-time and especially appreciate the news on the developments around the neighborhood.
The building has a retail space in the bottom which is currently owned by the developer and being rented to a John Suarez, who is running it as a gym, called Cutting Edge.
The biggest problem of all is that John Suarez has been forbidden by the Attorney General to ever operate a gym. A few years back he had advertised the opening of a new gym in the neighborhood, called Core Health and Fitness. He never opened the gym, even after taking people’s money. He was ordered to pay back $172,000 in restitution, but I know for a fact (a neighbor was a victim of the scam) that people did not get their money back.
I lay odds 80% in favor of this being ripped off by the “print media”. I’d give it 90% except this actually helps people.
On August 23 I took up the matter with Queens Crap and Forgotten NY. We agreed this item would be cribbed— but by whom? My knee jerk reaction was the New York Post. And as of August 31, 2009 my prognostication came to pass.
Compare my fact-finding with Ms. Sutherland’s and Mr. Ginsberg’s “scoop”: they dovetail. I was more specific (because my source and I did our research). But am I cited? Of course not. Amber and Alex claimed this discovery as their own.
i went to college with Amber Sutherland, haha…would have expected her to be above plagiarizing “unsuspecting” bloggers, but i guess the Post will wear down anyone’s journalistic integrity eventually. SCOOP FAIL.
The NY Post has done this to me as well.
On 01/08/09 I wrote a post about rust being visible at Citi Field that was picked up left and right all over the place. A couple of days later on 01/12/2009 the NY Post “broke” the story, albeit without even trekking out to the stadium to photograph the rust.
The only thing good about the Post is shredding it up and using it for compost.
That’s nuts!! – from the gym itself, to the guy’s past, to the assault on the photographer, then the Post stealing your story with no credit. It seems Mr Ginsberg was sincere enough in his comment, but I don’t understand that policy or why the Post can’t link to your alias site or mention your name when they become aware of a story as a result of your blog. That doesn’t seem right to me. | 2019-04-20T20:26:22Z | http://www.newyorkshitty.com/williamsburg/24563 |
Presumably, the change is a response to the growing popularity of competitors Vitamin Water and Powerade, though how losing 7 letters is an effective response is kind of beyond me. Marketing! I remember the first time I had Gatorade. It came in a stiff metal can with a thick seam running along the side and a pull-tab top. I was a kid at summer camp — it must have been around 1980. We were given the drink during inter-camp competitions, days when we'd play sports for hour after hour in the hot sun. Of course, we loved the sweet stuff, which had a metallic taste from its container, and gulped it down. No surprise, I still like it, nevermind the signature nuclear-green color. The TV spots of 2007 banking on the drink's own history and narrated by Keith Jackson were very smart, and capitalized on that nostalgia (the Lovin' Spoonful soundtrack didn't hurt). I guess those days are gone. With a capital G. | 2019-04-23T22:23:13Z | https://www.designobserver.com/feature/annals-of-branding-redux/19308 |

When folks are asked what way can make gil in Final Fantasy XIV, I believe most of you will say to play gatherers and crafters. As we know, Gatherers and Crafters are two richest classes in Final Fantasy XIV, because there are all kinds of materials in the game which can be used by gatherers and crafters to do what they want, and then sell for gil. However, many players ask whether there are some other ways of making gil, so now, I want to tell you how to make ffxiv gil without crafting or gathering.
Being a l60 omnicrafter is the best way to make gil, however there are still some good ways to make gil without crafting, they will not be as good as crafting but also take less time and effort to start.
Weeping city weekly. Once a week you will get Mhachi Matter as a drop for clearing the weeping city. It is a 24man raid with the minimum ilv at i205. This matter can be traded in for a grade V materia (not crafting) of your choice by speaking to Smacklix in idyllshire at Stickqix's Bangpots (the gobbie building). Accuracy and crit will most likely be the most valuable. They are 400k for me.
Palace Of The Dead. PotD is a 4 man dungeon that you can enter solo, premade or DF. You can enter at any lv and will lv in the dungeon. The lv does not stay with you outside PotD however you will get exp every 10 floors when it saves. Sometimes from bronze chests and for sure when clearing floor 1-50 you get a Gelmorran Potsherd. This can be traded in for a grade V just like the matter mentioned earlier. This is traded in to E-Una_Kotor in Quarrymill.
Diadem. Currently diadem is not run much but you could try PF or going with FC. For every enemy you kill in diadem it will drop a chest. The loot from these chests can be traded in for spoils. Its 3 spoils for a grade III, 10 for a IV and 20 for a V. You can trade spoils in at the airship landing in ishgard or by speaking to the spoils collector in the housing zones. This currently will take longer than PotD but in 3.4 it may be more active again.
Beast tribes. In the higher ranks of the 2.x beast tribes the quests will give you an option to pick a grade IV materia. You can get 1 each quest when you have the ranks which totals up to 12 materia a day. On my server grade IV's are starting to go back up in price again and this can get you over 400k total from doing all 12 quests.
With poetics you do not have many options. Fawn, dust bunny and fledgling dodo are minions costing 7 poe each. There is also a faded copy of another round costing 1,000 poe. The minions costing a few thousand each and the song costing around 5k on average. So the minions are much more gil per tome however if your still doing relic its best to keep it on them i would say.
Esoteric tomes have a larger amount of things to sell. 2 songs that are not faded called Contention and Ominous Prongisticks for 750 eso and also some of the materials used in the i220 crafted gear. NQ being 20 eso and HQ being 50. The songs cost 100k and 70k respectively. Eikon mats hovering around 15-30k each but they do still change frequently so be sure to check whats best.
Lore. Currently there is nothing that can be sold with lore. However in 3.4 it will be the uncapped and most likely sell some sort of mat used for crafting.
Selling runs. Selling runs can be one of the harder methods out of this but if you get lucky can be the most rewarding. I have very little idea of the actual prices runs get sold by but someone on my serve was selling A4S for 14mil, the 3.x ex's for 2-7mil and some of the older ex's for 1mil and less. It also requires 7 people that have cleared the content that will sell with you and the ability for a few to swap roles so you are able to have a tank, healer or DPS join you.
Coil runs. Credit to /u/anonymousjosh on these. T2 can be done solo if you are a SCH of i210+ like this otherwise you might want to get a friend or 2 . It will drop mats such as allagan silk worth 80k. This also works for T4 if you bring some friends. You can also run T5,9,12 and 13 for the songs and aetherstones from there. The 5,9 and 13's song is needed to make the answers roll so it can be worth lots. The aetherstones can cost lots with T9 chest aetherstone costing 400k, the T13 chest aetherstone costing 400k and legs 800k and most likely next patch a weapon aetherstone also.
Check retainers. This isn't a continuous method but every now and then its good to check your retainers to see what might have some value.
GC seals. There are lots of things sold in the GC that can be sold on the MB. Eagle feather for 200 GC seals is 2000 gil. Grade 5 dark matter is 230 gil and sold for 300 gil. Cordials are 500 GC seals and sold for 2.5k gil. Lots of furnishings such as the Flame storage bench for 5050 GC and 9k gil. Miniature aetherites costing 14470 seals and 10k gil. Relic mats such as kingcake that all cost 5k seals and 100k+ gil. Coke and similar items which are 200 seals and 3k gil. Borax which is 250 seals and 20k gil.
Aquapolis. Aquapolis has a wide variety of loot such as glass fibers worth around 80k. Grade V materia of any type including crafting so the value varies between around 250k - 700k. i170 mats worth around 50-100k. Favor mats worth around 10k. Grade IV materia worth 10-200k (expensive being the elemental ones because relic) and a bunch more things. It also just gives you gil from clearing floors. 10-50k each person for killing a goblin and 100k for doing all of aquapolis.
Play the MB. This can take lots of research but by looking at trends you can see what has gone down lots and is most likely to go up again soon. This is things like the grade 2 stat potions and the rav EX mat. You can also sell mats from a vendor such as the beast tribe ones and some things will be worth more on the MB.
Gardening. Gardening is a longer method to obtain some gil but does also not require much effort aside from checking them every so often. | 2019-04-19T06:26:10Z | https://www.ffxiv4gil.com/news/how-to-make-ffxiv-gil-without-crafting-or-gathering |
ELEANOR HALL: As he released this report accusing the North Korean regime of horrific crimes against its own people, Michael Kirby called on the international community to act, saying, "We can't say we didn't know."
Dr Leonid Petrov is a Korean specialist at the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific and he says Justice Kirby's recommendation that the North Korean leaders be tried before the International Criminal Court is likely to be far less effective than using the report as a bargaining chip with the regime.
ELEANOR HALL: It sounds like you don't agree with Justice Kirby that the UN should launch a crimes against humanity trials.
LEONID PETROV: You know I'm not a lawyer, I'm a historian, unlike Justice Kirby, and I propose to look at the history of North Korean history of region.
ELEANOR HALL: Well, the North Korean leadership refused to participate in this UN inquiry and has now announced that it categorically and totally rejects the findings so if there's no cooperation, what can world leaders do short of regime change? Is regime change the only answer?
LEONID PETROV: I don't think so, that's the only answer, but everything is being done to see the regime collapses is the only solution to this problem. I'm originally from Russia so I grew up in the Soviet Union behind the iron curtain and I remember that in 1970s things were changing - political prisoners were permitted to leave the country, soviet leadership was convinced and persuaded to engage with the West in exchange for certain actions in improving its human rights records, Soviet Union was permitted to deal more actively on the economic front.
ELEANOR HALL: You mentioned sanctions, are Western sanctions over North Korea's nuclear actions contributing to some of the problems that are raised in this report like hunger? I mean how does the international community balance ensuring that the people of North Korea get food with applying sanctions to try to rein in North Korea's nuclear ambitions?
The report which the Commission of Inquiry has produced is basically an encyclopaedia of human rights abuse so what can be done in relation to like improving it from our perspective? I think it's more preparation, engagement and understanding as well.
So North Korea simply shouldn't be blamed unilaterally for what is happening. I believe that inter-Korean relations must be improved first of all before we summon Kim Jong-un to the International Court of Justice.
ELEANOR HALL: Well, China's government's reaction to this report is of course critical. China's leaders are not making particularly helpful noises at this stage about the referral to the International Criminal Court but what sort of role could the Chinese government play in addressing some of these human rights problems and the problems of starvation.
LEONID PETROV: China has very limited influence over North Korea and recently we just saw that North Korea's resentment of Chinese influence, both economic and political, and the execution of Kim Jong-un's uncle was the most telling example that North Korea is actually rejecting Chinese interference in domestic economic political matters. I don't think that China, that the key to the issues of Pyongyang really lies in China.
LEONID PETROV: Yes but China is not interested in the collapse of the regime. China is still captivated by this Cold War mentality where they look at North Korea as a buffer state. They will implement certain resolutions of United Nations Security Council; they do so but in a very limited way. They understand that the disadvantages of North Korea's collapse is going to hit Chinese national interest.
ELEANOR HALL: That's Korea specialists, Dr Leonid Petrov from the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific. | 2019-04-20T22:47:20Z | http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/content/2013/s3947104.htm |

POCAHONTAS AND JOHN ROLFE JR.
Their only son Thomas Rolfe was raised in England and had a daughter named Anne Rolfe. She stayed in England with her mother Elizabeth Washington.
Thomas returned to Virginia where his father had left him a large plantation. Thomas was remarried to Jane Poythress and had another daughter, Jane Rolfe, before he died at a young age.
Pocahontas and John Rolfe Jr. were married in order to create relations with the Algonquian tribes. Secretly, Pocahontas whose name was originally Watoaka, was lured upon a ship by another female and held captive. John Rolfe Jr. seduced and forced himself upon her and she conceived a child. Although two years later she died from the shock of being manipulated and raped, she never told her father.... She was only 14 years old.
Watoaka's' father Wah-hun-se-NAC-awk (Chief Powhatan) was widely revered and loved by all his people. Pocahontas (Watoaka) was the apple of the tribes eye. She was loved for being much like her father but without his abrupt and sometimes frightening appearance. She was the tribes diplomat and center of attention. The short time John Rolfe Jr. and Watoaka (Pocahontas) lived together in Virginia, relations with the Algonquian tribes succeeded and prospered. King Wah-hun-se-NAC-awk gave John Rolfe Jr. and his new wife vast lands and property. Watoaka shortly after took the long journey by ship to England and gave birth to a son, Thomas, soon after landing. Upon hearing Watoaka (Pocahontas) died in England a year after Thomas was born, the entire tribe rose up and battled fiercely with the British settlers and many were killed on both sides including John Rolfe Jr. and King Wah-hun-se-NAC-awk.
Years later the Kings elderly cousin ordered a surprise attack where 300 unsuspecting settlers were slaughtered. Pretending to be peaceful the Algonquians spread out through the town and attacked without warning. This detestable act influenced the British tactics in the slaughter of over 350 million Native Americans in the years that followed. The worst mass murder and unsurpassed event ever known and now it's not funny to pretend to be an indian and dress up like them because it is not something they enjoy or think is fun. It has traumatised all Native Americans to the point of despair. The highest suicide rate is among Native Americans and there are over 250 million Natives living on reservations and in the work force of America. In fact, the Native Americans have fought with us to help win our wars.
Thomas Rolfe, Watoaka's son, now has over 900,000 British descendants living in Great Britain, America and many other places of the world. Her spirit of the proud race of Algonquins is honoured with tears and has an eternal home in the ancient culture that began many centuries ago when the Greek's started keeping records of their studies of life. This ancient civilisation has grown into the world we live in every day. Good and Bad.
We can not return to stop the past from being so terrible, but we can work together to build a bridge to a better future. We are all children born into a world we had no control over. Now we can change that. This is our chance right now.

The name of this Ashram is known by the name of Galeshwar Mahadev which is an Myagdi district. A teen-ager boy of Taplejung district left his home and started to visit various pilgrimages of Nepal and India. Then he came to live in that very Galeshwar Mahadev temple of Myagdi. But he was still searching for proper place for meditation and Sadhana. That is why he left Myagdi and came to live in DevghatDham. Here he selected the suitable place to live for him.
Thus, he here became popular with the name of Galeshwar Baba. But his real name is Ishwarananda Brahmachari. And the name of his hut became Galeshwar Ashram.Because of the ability of true saints he became so popular. He could do extraordinary works and used to tell the past and the future events if asked. He thought to improve DevghatDham as the most valuable Tapobhumi in the world. So, he began to develop it in many ways.
The kings, poets and others very important personalities used to come to see and meet with him at his hut in DevghatDham. Thus he was the first saint who tired to develop this Dham as a real Devbhumi.
After Galeshwar Baba the patron ship of Galeshwar Ashram went to Swami Ashutosananda Saraswati (Dandi Swami). The area of land of this Ashram and the property of it was protected by him as could do his best.
The third person of this Ashram became Shree 1008 Swami Paramananda Saraswati. He took steps to move forward to this Ashram. He was very popular, active and helpful saint of those days. | 2019-04-23T10:17:49Z | http://galeshwarashram.org.np/welcome/learnmore/667153073.html |

How can a loving God judge people with such horrible destruction?
Why did God harden Pharaoh’s heart? Doesn’t He want everybody to come to repentance? Does God harden people’s hearts these days? (Ten times it says that God hardened Pharaoh’s heart, 4:21, 7:3, 9:12, 10:1, 20,27, 11:10, 14:4,8,17. Ten times it also says that Pharaoh hardened his own heart, 7:13, 14, 22, 8:15, 19, 32, 9:7, 34, 35, 13:15).
Is it possible that these were just natural phenomenon? What things occurred that make it impossible to have a natural explanation?
What can we learn about God’s character from these chapters?
What can we learn about human nature?
What can we learn about pride?
Is there any significance in the types of plagues that God sent? Blood? Frogs? Gnats? Livestock? Etc.?
What is different about God’s wrath from the kind of anger we normally have?
God is wrathful and pours out His anger on sinful people.
God is loving and goes to any measure to care for His people.
Pride goes before the fall. If we are prideful we will fall.
God is the true God. He pours out His plagues on all other supposed gods.
God controls nature. Don’t worship or fear nature. It is under God’s control and it does what He wishes.
God judges the wicked, but protects the righteous from His judgment. Notice how many of the plagues did not affect the people of Israel, also how the people of Egypt who feared God could take their livestock under shelter before the hail.
God does compromise with His enemies. He sets the standards; He doesn’t bargain to meet our terms.
True repentance is not merely saying one has sin with one’s mouth; it is changing one’s action.
Pride goes before the fall. The worse we harden the hearts or exalt ourselves the greater our fall will be. Be poor in spirit and recognize and listen to God.
Although God is wrathful and pours out judgment on sin and those who practice it, He protects His people and delivers them out of judgment. He doesn’t consume the righteous along with the wicked.
Ephesians 5:6 (God pours His wrath on the sons of disobedience).
Here God sends His first plague against Egypt. Notice the reason. It is because Pharaoh is stubborn. This is the result of Pharaoh’s sin and injustice against the people of Israel. If he had let them go God never would have sent these plagues against Egypt. God is not a hateful God who wants to maliciously judge people because He can. He is a loving God. However, justice is an essential part of His character. When people continue in sin God is angry and will not allow it to escape judgment. He judges the wicked not because He takes delight in seeing people hurt, but because it is right, fair, and just. All the blame for these plagues should come against Pharaoh, whose pride caused them to pile up. See cross-references for God’s wrath and justice.
This first plague strikes directly against the pride of Egypt, the Nile. The Nile was the source of life in Egypt. From it flowed the livelihood of the people. The annual floods and recessions brought new fertile silt to the area. Fish and other resources were harvested from it. The Nile was like a god to which Egypt worshiped. It was also the water which Egyptians drank. They dug very few wells and it almost never rained. What is the more, according to what I read the water of the Nile was very delicious and satisfying, more so than “normal” water. The plague killed the fish (which would have never happened if it only appeared red), and made the water unusable. What is more, all the water in the tributaries, ponds, etc. was also turned to blood. What was this plague meant to show? Firstly, it shows the superiority of Yahweh (whom Pharaoh did not recognize) to all the gods of Egypt, including the Nile. The gods of Pharaoh were powerless to stop this plague. All they could do was cheaply imitate it (and exacerbate the problem). Secondly, it shows that whether they were willing to admit it or not, the people of Egypt were dependent on God for their livelihood. He controlled the Nile river and thus their very lives. Thirdly, it was meant to humble Pharaoh before God to the point where he would let the people of Israel go.
What was Pharaoh’s response? He showed no concern for it. It didn’t really affect his personal life. He could simply have some slaves go out and dig him water next to the Nile. From this one can see Pharaoh didn’t actually care very much for his people, who experienced great difficulties as a result of this plague. His problem was a matter of personal pride, not national interest.
A period of seven days passed and then God sent another plague since Pharaoh was unmoved by the first. Again, He gave Pharaoh a chance to repent and let the people go, but Pharaoh refused it. Frogs were sacred in Egypt, a symbol of fertility. Once again God was showing His superior might to the Egyptian gods. There own sacred symbols became detestable in their sight as they swarmed everywhere and over everyone. There weren’t just a few frogs. When God does something He does it completely. There was massive amounts of frogs, so many that no natural explanation would account for this vast amount of frogs. Again, Pharaoh’s magicians did the same thing, but surely in much smaller numbers. It is unsure exactly how. But demons do have some power (remember the swine hurtling themselves into the ocean?) and in this case God let them influence the frogs. Why? It made the problem even worse! They weren’t solving the problem, but making it worse. God is not afraid of cheap imitations. He knows His power will be shown.
At this point Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and promised to let the people go to sacrifice if they would ask God to take away the frogs. Did God know Pharaoh would go back on his word? Surely! So why would He take the plagues away? I believe it was to show that at anytime if Pharaoh was willing to repent and let the people go the judgments would stop. Moses also wanted to give a specific time for it to show the power of God. God not only controls all circumstances; He also controls their timing.
God did answer Moses and Aaron and made the frogs die. There were heaps and heaps of them, making the land foul. Not surprisingly, Pharaoh changed his mind (as he probably planned all along) and didn’t let them go. Temporary afflictions usually do not change the heart. God had predicted this ahead of time.
8:16-19- (Israel doesn’t seem to be exempt).
The third miracle was gnats (the exact meaning is uncertain). It came unannounced. Perhaps it included mosquitoes or fleas also. One mosquito can be extremely annoying and keep me from sleep. Imagine the affect of thousands of small “pesty” insects attacking each person. There would be no rest and no break. Frogs perhaps one could keep out of certain areas with doors, walls, blankets, etc. Water could still be dug even after the Nile was turned to blood. But there was no way to avoid the affects of this plague. From the poorest beggar, all the way up to Pharaoh, everyone would have been affected by it.
This was the first plague that the magicians weren’t able to copy. They knew their deceptive and limited power and recognized that it really was God who was doing this. Yet Pharaoh was unwilling to listen to them. To him it was a matter of personal pride. It wasn’t as if he was searching for the truth, believing in his own gods, and then suddenly he would recognize that Yahweh was the true God and turn to Him.
The account mentions many times the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart. Sometimes it credits it to God. Other times it says that Pharaoh hardened his own heart. Sometimes people harden their own to such an extent that it is nearly or completely possible for them to ever repent. At times God may continue to harden such people’s hearts beyond normal reason in order to show His might. People have numerous chances to repent, but there does come a time when someone may reject the chance so many times that they cross a line of no return. Yet people are still personally responsible for their actions and can never blame their unbelief on God.
Again, God tells Moses to go to Pharaoh with the familiar refrain, “Let my people go.” He offers Pharaoh the chance before He sends the plague, but He knows that Pharaoh won’t take it. The consequences for rejecting God’s command were swarms of insects to cover over all the people. God also says that He will make a division between His people and the Egyptians. In the land of Goshen, where the Hebrews settled, there were no swarms of flies. This demonstrated the power of God. No one could possibly say it was a natural occurrence since there was such a clear division between the peoples. Yet it not only demonstrated God’s power, it also protected His people. God does not pour out His wrath on His people along with the practicing sinners. Here He shows His mercy. Those who follow God can escape His judgments.
Then God did so. The insects went everywhere in the land, including Pharaoh’s own house. He and his priests were powerless to stop it. Pharaoh’s pride was laying waste to the land of Egypt.
Here Pharaoh offered his first compromise. He would let them go to sacrifice to God as long as they would stay within the land. Moses said it was unacceptable. They would sacrifice cattle and sheep that the Egyptians considered sacred. As a result the Egyptians would become very angry and perhaps riot against them.
Pharaoh agreed to let them go according to Moses’ conditions (but tried to retain some face, “only you shall not go very far away”). Moses thought it was likely that Pharaoh was being deceptive to be rid of the insects. God did remove the insects (at anytime Pharaoh could have stopped the judgments by letting them go), but once again Pharaoh hardened his heart and wouldn’t let them go. When the plagues were gone Pharaoh quickly remembered his pride and forgot his suffering. Sometimes we are like that. We turn to God (not that he really turned to God) during troubled times, but when the troubles go away we forget about Him, become prideful in ourselves, and go our own way.
Again Moses is commanded to go and talk with Pharaoh and tell to let His people go. The consequences of rejecting this command was a severe pestilence on the livestock. God said the time it would happen. Also He once again spared Israel the plague. Not even one of the livestock of the people of Israel died while all the livestock of the Egyptians did (apparently excluding those that were taken in from the field). This plague would have seriously affected not only Egypt’s worship, but also its economy. Horses were prized and recently imported for the army. Transportation and agriculture made use of oxen and etc. It would have crippled a large part of Egypt’s economy. Also some bulls and cows etc. were sacred to the Egyptians. It once again proved God’s superior power.
This plague reached another level from the others. It was the first to actually strike the body of an Egyptian person. Before the plagues were pests or death of livestock, etc. Surely destructive, but the boils attacked the very people of Egypt. It would have caused suffering day and night. As they felt this suffering they would be forced to remember why they were suffering. They were suffering because Pharaoh refused to let the people of Israel go. It was a completely unnecessary suffering. Pharaoh had attempted to create public opinion against Moses. God was doing the same against Pharaoh. We reap what we sow.
Also the magicians were afflicted with the same boils. This showed clearly that God was more powerful than their sorcery and magic. They couldn’t even protect themselves, much less the people or country of Egypt. This should have caused Pharaoh to see God’s might and let the people go, but his heart was hardened again.
God tells Moses to go to Pharaoh again and deliver the same message. Also God says He could have wiped out Pharaoh and the people long ago, but He didn’t in order to show His power and might. All those who witnessed or heard about the plagues in Egypt would know God’s power and should respond by turning to Him and fearing Him. God also tells us the reason Pharaoh would not let the people go, the same as we have already discussed. He exalts himself. He warns Pharaoh ahead of time about the coming plague and gives him another chance to let the people go. He warns everyone ahead of time so that whoever fears God could be free from the consequences of this plague. They were to bring their remaining livestock (perhaps stolen from the Israelites or leftover from people who brought them in the previous plague against the livestock) in from the fields and were to take shelter themselves. All who did so would be spared. Notice that here God allows the Egyptians who feared Him also to escape this judgment.
It says that not only hail, but also fire ran down from the sky (lightning?). Hailstorms were an extreme rarity in Egypt, making the miracle all the more amazing. Israel was spared this horrible plague. It destroyed trees and plants and man and beast, anything that was unprotected and in the open. It was the worst ever to that point in time in Egypt.
So Pharaoh was repentant and finally let them go, right? Well, he said he would. He finally admitted his sin and God’s righteousness and agreed to let them go. Moses saw through this charade and knew Pharaoh and his servants didn’t yet truly fear God. Pharaoh, like many politicians, made a promise that was beneficial at the time, but with no intention to keep it.
God “made a mockery of the Egyptians”. It is so foolish how they could persist and such stubbornness and pride, even as it was destroying their country. This plague was locusts. They were going to be so thick that the Egyptians wouldn’t be able to see the land! Certain kinds of crops had escaped from the hail, but God didn’t let any remain. What had escaped from the hail would be devoured by the locusts, eating machines. It was apparently the most massive locusts plague in the history of the world.
Public opinion had turned against Pharaoh. His servants were begging Pharaoh to give in to Moses’ requests. They said that Egypt was destroyed. Pharaoh offered another compromise. The men of Israel could go, but the children and women could not. God rejected Pharaoh’s compromise. God does not bargain or negotiate with His enemies. They must give in to His terms. It is ridiculous to even hint that God needs to meet our terms. God is “I AM WHO I AM”. He is not bound to our standards. He is the one who sets the standards and we need to follow them.
Nothing green was left after the locusts finish. Locusts are eating machines and devour everything in their paths. There is no stopping them. There is no turning them. They leave total destruction and famine to all agriculture.
After this plague of destruction Pharaoh again admitted his sin. But his repentance wasn’t genuine. After the locusts were gone his heart was hardened again.
God leaves no room for doubt about the nature of the events, whether they were natural or supernatural. First the land was covered so that it couldn’t be seen. Then there wasn’t a single locust left in all the land! There can be no doubt it was miraculous.
This darkness seems of a special variety. What is symbolic about it? First of all, the Egyptians chief god was Ra, the sun god. This was a blow in the face of their worship. Also perhaps it was symbolic of their spiritual blindness. They couldn’t see the light. They were enslaved to sin. They were enslaved to Satan. The dark was so intense they couldn’t see others. In the dwellings of the people of Israel there was light. Again, God protected His people from judgment.
Pharaoh offered the third compromise, which God again rejected. Pharaoh’s heart was hardened and his temper blew. His pride led him even to think that he could kill Moses if he wanted to. He still thought he was in control and his heart was still hard. | 2019-04-20T11:04:40Z | https://studyandobey.com/inductive-bible-study/old-testament-survey/exodus-plagues/ |
"Updating the General Chemistry Anchoring Concepts Content Map" by Thomas Holme, Cynthia Luxford et al.
The previously published Anchoring Concepts Content Map (ACCM) from the ACS Examinations Institute is updated. Through the development process of the ACCM for other subdisciplines, changes have been made at the top two levels, and these changes need to be reflected in the previously published maps. In addition, a large-scale project to align test items from ACS Exams over the past 20 years revealed specific omissions in the initially published General Chemistry ACCM.

Hi friends! I bought Artrage Lite yesterday, and i wanna know if there´s an especial forum for resources only for this version? As i saw, not who is made for Artrage fits on Lite, i am right?
All the presets and custom sticker sprays will work, with the occasional exception of some tool settings that are different in Lite. Anything that was made for ArtRage 3 (Studio), should work without a hitch, which is anything before 2013 (Lite is very, very similar to Studio). | 2019-04-22T08:13:11Z | https://forums.artrage.com/showthread.php?52194-Hello-newbie-with-Artrage-Lite |

I am blessed with a family who cares about each other and who have grown to embrace the work I have been involved in. From my dad who has embraced and shared the concept of being "Above the line" (Ownership, Accountability, Responsibility) v "Below the line" (Blame, Excuses, Denial), to my sister who now sends me links to motivational and inspirational information.
The most inspirational of my family though are my nieces. Over the course of the past 12 months, they have accepted the changes "Uncle Paul" has made and are openly starting to embrace some of the most admirable traits. The attached diary is a present I received from them, purely unprovoked and bought with their own money they had saved.
So why does this matter and how does this relate to you?
When you are passionate about what you do and, more importantly, why you do it, people and organisations who share the same beliefs will be attracted to you. They will see why you are on your journey and because it resonates with them, will buy in to you. Whether you are selling suits, facilitating workshops, dealing with legal matters or teaching others.... showing your WHY will bring you opportunities to work with those sharing similar beliefs and values.
This week, take a moment to think about your WHY and how you can surround yourself with people who share the same values and beliefs and incorporate in your work/business.
I'd be interested in hearing what your WHY is, so feel free to send me an email on the address below. Have an awesome week. | 2019-04-23T19:58:59Z | https://mentorisgroup.com.au/motivator-2/2017/2/3/whats-your-why-and-why-it-matters |

Fishing in St. Tammany Parish is unforgettable. Our waters are home to trophy trout, record redfish, fat flounder, largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie and even tarpon (and many more species), and you don’t have to go far offshore to catch your limit. With easy access to the Rigolets, Lake Borgne, Lake Catherine, Lake Pontchartrain, Biloxi marsh, as well as rigs, reefs, and bridges, we have more than a dozen charter captains launching out of Slidell. Three fishing lure companies were born in St. Tammany (Deadly Dudley, Matrix Shad, and Category 5), all of which are marketed regionally and some nationally at places like Academy, Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s.
Our expert charter captains typically launch six-hour excursions, many from the Rigolets Marina in Slidell, and know where to cast a line and what baits to use. Many pride themselves in offering a charter experience suitable for everyone, from expert anglers to just-learning families, and everything in between.
Hooked on Northshore fishing, some visitors return year after year to go out with their favorite captains. Mike Gallo and his Angling Adventures of Louisiana is one favorite. Another is Dudley Vandenborre, a kindly daddy type who knows the secrets to catching fish in the waters off St. Tammany Parish, and who became famous for his Deadly Dudley lures, catnip to serious fishers, and among the hottest lures on the Gulf Coast. Vandenborre’s name has become synonymous with stalking monster trout in Lake Pontchartrain and his popularity and reputation put him out on the water more than 260 days a year.
Beyond fishing, St. Tammany has broad appeal as a destination. Our bounty is prepared in elegant dining rooms by skilled chefs, and that’s just the beginning of our outstanding culinary scene. We’ve got great shopping, a festival for everything, and 80,000 acres of wildlife preserve to explore. There are great places to stay while you play – from two state parks (including one with cabins built camp-style over Lake Pontchartrain) to a boutique hotel, several B&Bs and traditional properties.
Fill your tackle box with what locals use and you’ll be sure to catch your limit and a good time. These three St. Tammany-based companies sell their own tried and true lures.
Captain Kenny Kreeger of Lake Pontchartrain Charters, a guide for WWL-TV's "Fishin' Game Report," is a lure designer for Category 5 Outdoors. Category 5 fishing lures feature a line of lifelike soft plastic lures designed for speckled trout, redfish, bass, flounder and many other coastal species. Tournament and leisure anglers favor the Suicide Croaker, Shrimp Minnow, and Manic Minnow. The lures can be found at Category5Outdoors.com, Bass Pro Shops, and Cabela's.
Introduced in 1999 by St. Tammany charter captain Dudley Vandenborre, Deadly Dudley lures have gone from being manufactured in his garage for a few close friends to being distributed nationwide through Academy Sports & Outdoors and Amazon. Deadly Dudley TerrorTail lures are legendary for pulling monster trout from Lake Pontchartrain and Louisiana waters. Purple glo/chartreuse, avocado, and blue moon/chartreuse are popular colors used by Louisiana fishermen. Bay Choveys are a favorite, too.
A family of Matrix Shad soft lures originate from St. Tammany Parish, including the Ultra Violet, Green Hornet, Tiger Bait, Shrimp Creole, the Vortex Shad, and new Matrix Mullet. The Ultra Violet boasts the ability to catch five species of fish in one day. Find Matrix Shad lures throughout Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast at fishing hot spots, marinas, and hardware stores. Matrix Shad also offers DockSide LA guide service, with Captains Bubby Lamy and Kris Robert. | 2019-04-22T08:42:05Z | https://www.louisiananorthshore.com/things-to-do/fishing/ |
Administrative law refers to the rules, regulations and procedures that govern the activities of federal, state and local government administrative agencies.
Administrative agencies are created by the U.S. Congress, U.S. Constitution, state legislatures and local lawmaking bodies to make and enforce regulations, conduct investigations or administer benefits.
You deal with an administrative agency when you go to the Division of Motor Vehicles to get a driver’s license or apply for unemployment benefits through your state Department of Labor, for example.
You may also file complaints against your employer or a business with a government agency.
Many federal agencies also have local state offices, and state governments have their own administrative agencies as well.
If an administrative agency has launched an investigation against you, served you with a subpoena, denied you an entitlement or issued a regulation that is detrimental to you or your business, you have the right to notice and a fair hearing.
When a government agency takes an adverse action against you, you will be mailed a notice of the decision with instructions for appealing the agency’s determination.
If you choose to appeal an administrative agency’s decision, a hearing will be scheduled at which you can either represent yourself or hire an administrative lawyer to advocate for you.
Once you have exhausted the administrative appeals process, you may have the right to file a lawsuit against the agency in regular state court.
Litigation involving an administrative agency is essentially a lawsuit against the government, and is quite different from litigation between private parties.
Administrative lawsuits often involve unique procedural and substantive issues, and sometimes potential political ramifications and media scrutiny requiring the need for highly specialized legal representation. | 2019-04-20T22:17:08Z | https://legalocities.com/2018/07/04/administrative-law-dealing-with-government-agencies/ |
Samsung has had their hands full since the release of the Galaxy Note 7, their latest and greatest phablet. As many impressive capabilities as the device has, it has one glaring problem – some units have been exploding when charging the battery. Now, the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S7, and Galaxy S7 Edge are experiencing some battery issues of their own. Fortunately, however, these issues don't appear to be quite as serious and are not unfixable.
The issues occurred for many users after updating their Oculus app, which provides content for Gear VR, Samsung’s virtual reality headset. Users say that prior to the update, their devices were functioning properly, but after the update, their batteries would drain much faster than usual and their devices would get worryingly hot. One user even mentioned that as an employee at a Sprint authorized retailer, he has seen a Galaxy S7 that was returned due to massive physical damage that occurred after the device caught fire from overheating. The report has not been officially verified, but the model number does support his claims. Samsung users who have been affected by battery issues after updating the app have addressed Oculus directly via social media to try to get the company’s attention, and Redditor Josh4R3d created a thread on Reddit to help other users experiencing the issues, to which many have replied with thanks, stating that uninstalling the app has solved their problems. If you have the Oculus app installed and have been noticing issues with battery drain or overheating, uninstalling the app is easy. Simply go to your Settings menu, find Applications and select Application manager. From there, locate the Oculus app and choose Uninstall.
Although there have not been widespread reports of Galaxy devices aside from the Galaxy Note 7 catching fire or exploding, the fact that these devices are overheating is worrisome, to say the least, and it’s probably a good idea to stop charging your device and turn it off if you feel that it is dangerously hot. And as the problem appears to be with the Oculus software, it may be wise to steer clear of it until an update has been issued to correct this problem. | 2019-04-19T15:15:04Z | https://www.androidheadlines.com/2016/09/battery-issues-galaxy-s7-try-removing-oculus-app.html |
Following in the footsteps of guitar legends Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page took over the lead guitar position of The Yardbirds in 1967, following a brief period in 1966 when both Beck and Page were members of the band. During this short window of time, The Yardbirds recorded three tracks, two of which, “Happenings Ten Years Time Ago” and “Stroll On” (a remake of the previously recorded cover of Tiny Bradshaw’s “Train Kept A Rollin’ with Beck on lead) featured the twin lead guitar attack of Beck and Page, and “Psycho Daisies” (the b-side of the “Happenings” single) on which Beck played lead guitar and Page contributed bass guitar.
These tracks were produced by Simon Napier-Bell, with “Stroll On” appearing in the Michaelangelo Antonioni movie “Blow Up.” In 1967, however, not only did Page replace Beck, but Mickie Most took over as the band’s producer. The fruits of the band’s efforts under Most’s guidance, the US-only released LP “Little Games” and related singles are contained on the 2 CD Japanese reissue of the album reviewed here. The collection contains a total of 52 tracks, 47 by The Yardbirds and 5 by the offshoot band Together, which featured vocalist Keith Relf and drummer Jim McCarty. This amazing Japanese only release, in SHD format, sounds incredible, but there are some problems with the encoding of the song titles which will be discussed, and hopefully clarified within this review. In addition some of the tracks were recorded without Dreja or McCarty contributing, and one, “Ha Ha Said The Clown,” released as a US-only single featured only vocalist Keith Relf. But, let us not get ahead of ourselves, so let us begin at the beginning.
In late 1966, lead guitarist Jeff Beck announced to his bandmates that he was leaving The Yardbirds, ending the unbelievable potential of a band with two such talented lead guitarists. Not only did Beck exit the group, but producer Simon Napier-Bell, who had worked with the band on their s/t LP better known as “Roger The Engineer” was replaced by Mickie Most, best known for his work with Eric Burdon And The Animals and Donovan among others. Most was a well known hitmaker, much more pop oriented than Napier-Bell. Thus, the composition of the band and its direction were drastically changed as the year containing the “summer of love” arrived. The effects of the changes were dramatic, with the new quartet, consisting of vocalist/harmonica player Keith Relf, Page, rhythm guitarist turned bass guitarist Chris Dreja and drummer Jim McCarty, remaining on the Epic/Columbia label, but their recordings, following the failure of their debut single “Little Games” to chart in the UK, led to US-only releases for the remainder of the band’s original lifetime. This, in stark contrast to the rapid succession of singles released during the early and middle Jeff Beck led era of The Yardbirds, the majority of which made impressive showings on both the UK and US charts, and the very respectable success of “The Yardbirds” which had peaked at #20 on the UK charts. But, this collection is based around the Mickie Most produced recordings featuring Jimmy Page, so on with the story.
The first release by the Page led band under the tutelage of Most was the single pairing “Little Games” a pop influenced number with gorgeous vocals by Relf and a tastefully restrained solo by Page, which nonetheless contained some nice feedback. The b-side was the non-LP “Puzzles” another melodic rather pop-influenced rocker, which nonetheless featured incredible lead guitar work by Page, who, in addition, raced up and down the fretboard in contributing a very creditable solo. Sadly, the single failed to chart in the UK, although it did reach #51 on the Billboard charts in the US, when released in April, 1967, one month after its British appearance. The next single, featured the non-LP track “Ha Ha Said The Clown” backed by band original “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor.” The a-side penned by American songwriter, Tony Hazzard, featured Relf on lead vocals backed by studio musicians, while the latter a Page/McCarty tune was a real rocker, with its heavy intro, driving drumming by McCarty and bowed guitar work by Page and lyrics with much deeper meaning than its nursery rhyme like title would indicate. In reality, the lyrics were much more akin to the spy mystery novel that bore an incredibly close title. In the event, the single made #45 on the American charts leading Epic to release further 45s in the US, while abandoning UK releases. “Ha Ha Said The Clown” was released simultaneously with the “Little Games” LP, which despite its quality peaked at #80 on the Billboard charts and would be the band’s final studio album.
The album, and its deluxe 2013 2 CD reissue certainly deserve examination here. The reissue contains “Little Games” in both its mono and stereo versions. Disc one opens with the ten tracks which make up the original album, in their mono mixes. First up is the previously discussed title track, a solid composition, but perhaps too pop influenced for some Yardbirds fans, much like the Jeff Beck recordings had lacked the blues purity of the Clapton years. However, next up is “Smile On Me” with its driving, heavy rocking intro. Relf’s vocals are strong throughout, with Page’s insistent riff complemented by some fine piano work underneath. Page contributes a fiery, feedback drenched solo fueled by some tasty wah wah work. “White Summer” familiar to Led Zeppelin fans, contains gorgeously delicate acoustic guitar by Page and tablas courtesy of McCarty. Page’s usage of open tuning to imitate a sitar adds greatly to this Eastern influenced gem. “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor” has Page putting a cello bow to work in fashioning his trademark “bowed” guitar sound. “Glimpses” is a fine raga rocker, with Relf’s heavily echoed, chanted vocals suited perfectly to Page’s overdubbed guitars. “Drinking Muddy Water” with its nod to “Rollin’ And Tumblin’” takes The Yardbirds back to their blues roots, with Page moving from restrained mode to full on rock mode mid-tune. “No Excess Baggage” features a soaring intro from Page, before he settles into a relaxed groove, the tune’s call and response vocals giving way to another massive solo by Page as the song plays out. “Stealing Stealing” is a bar room blues number with its piano and harmonica intro, a true “good time” tune. “Only The Black Rose” is a gentle, introspective tune with haunting vocals and very tasteful percussion. The album closer “Little Soldier Boy” has a drum intro from McCarty, acoustic guitar by Page and delicate vocals from Relf. “Little Games” is a fine mix of styles and songwriting, but the Mickie Most pop influence may have put off fans at the time, although The Yardbirds had always been known much more for their singles than their LPs. Unfortunately, the failure of the album’s title track as a single sealed their fate as a viable threat to the UK charts.
The bonus material on disc one begins with the mono single versions of “Puzzles” “Ha Ha Said The Clown” and “Ten Little Indians.” In addition, prospective, but unreleased UK single takes “I Remember The Night” and the unphased version of “Goodnight Sweet Josephine” (another Tony Hazzard tune) are included as well as the incredible heavy rocking number “Think About It” a true, nearly four minute tour de force displaying Page at his heaviest, which saw US release as b-side of the heavily phased version of “Goodbye Sweet Josephine” which is found on disc two of the set. Eight BBC recordings follow, ranging from a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Most Likely You Go Your Way” to Yardbirds’ rockers “Little Games” “Think About It” and “Goodnight Sweet Josephine,”, an impressive take on the bowed guitar classic “Dazed And Confused,” the acoustic classic “White Summer” their blues standard “Drinking Muddy Water” as well as their incredible cover of Jerry Ragavoy’s “My Baby.” A commercial recorded for Great Shakes to the tune of “Happenings Ten Years Time Ago” and an unreleased mid-tempo McCarty/Relf composition “Shining Where The Sun Never Has Been closes out the disc.
Disc two opens with the stereo version of the LP. Next up are 1991 US stereo mixes of “Puzzles”and “I Remember The Night.” The stereo mix of “Ten Little Indians” is next up. “You Stole My Love” is a heavy rocker displaying Page’s use of his fuzz box at its best. An acoustic version “White Summer” and an instrumental version of “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor” follow. The short, aptly titled trippy “L.S.D.” is followed by a phased take on the psychedelic rocker “De Lane Le Le.” A second version of “Glimpses” and “Never Mind” are filled with feedback and wah wah and are among Page’s best efforts. The final Yardbirds track included on the set is the US phased version of “Goodnight Sweet Josephine” which backed by “Think About It” was the Yardbirds final single, released in March of 1968. The second disc is finished out with five tracks by the post Yardbirds band Together, with vocalist Relf and drummer McCarty among its members. The tracks are tasteful mid-tempo pop rock, but lack the energy of The Yardbirds which probably explains why few, if any fans are familiar with the band.
As to the encoding problems, while the track listing is correct in the booklet, the song titles do not display in proper order when played in a computer. It is very distracting to have to glance at the booklet to know which song is actually playing while listening. The song titles and run times are correct, but once you get to the bonus tracks the information is jumbled, not a pleasant thing. Also, as mentioned the band does not play on all the tracks included. As previously mentioned “Ha Ha Said The Clown” is vocalist Keith Relf backed by studio musicians. In addition, three tracks, “Little Games” “Goodnight Sweet Josephine” and “Ten Little Indians” do not include contributions by drummer McCarty or bassist Dreja. This information is strictly FYI and does not affect the quality of the music included in this collection.
This expanded version of “Little Games” is presented in typical Japanese fashion. The Super High Material audio CDs are housed in mini-LP replica jackets complete with plastic liners. The booklet contains complete song annotations and lyrics in both Japanese and English. Unfortunately, the liner notes are only in Japanese, but considering the sound quality, the plethora of bonus material and the inclusion of lyrics this package is simply incredible. It certainly deserves a place in the collection of any fan of The Yardbirds or Jimmy Page’s work as well as any fan of 1960s mod and psychedelic rock. It is most highly recommended.
I like this 2 CD set a lot.
Exeter, I am with you 100%. It is as good as any "Deluxe Edition" out there. I hope my review was a good representation of the quality of the 2 CD set is. Thank you for your comment.

When we used to deal with the topic of India's population, and the issue of child labor, as young, adolescent students, we almost always imagined the errant parents as being vultures, out to make a quick buck by sending their kids off to some God-forsaken workplace and making them work their lives off. We felt that the parents perhaps always look upon their offspring as just another pair of hands - one mouth more to feed, but two hands more to work. No doubt some cases of such inconsiderate parents might exist, but what I realized, over a short rural jaunt, was that that cannot be a generalization.
This could be a trend in AP alone, but almost every rural inhabitant we spoke to, sent their kids to school - male and female kids, both! I must say, that fact was truly refreshing to note. They sent their kids to elementary school, and if the government school was not as good, they took the pains of sending their kids all the way to the next big town to study at a private school. Some even sent kids to a residential school. If a large factory was located in the village, the powers-that-be of the factory ensured that a good school like a DAV (which is a rather prestigious school in south India) could come up in the vicinity. And the rural population, was more that willing, if not happy to send their kids there. Some even ensured they sent their kids only to the big school in the town. Why? Like one farmer said, "If they studied here, they would come home in the recess and not go back. But if they went to the town, they can come home only when the bus would come at the end of the school day." Some farmers had actually sent their children to study abroad - farmers who perhaps were illiterate, had kids returning with masters degrees from places like US and UK. And they took immense pride while describing their successful children who had become doctors or engineers, and they all thanked the Indian IT industry for allowing their children to go where no one of their own generation had ever gone before. When asked what they would do with any extra money they could get through their efforts, they all, almost unanimously averred that they would spend on their kids' education.
Clearly, the people are cognizant of the importance of education . Now the only question is whether a supply can be arranged to meet the demand!
There are some good schemes like Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (http://www.education.nic.in/ssa/ssa_1.asp), but like most good schemes, in need of good delivery and monitoring systems. | 2019-04-19T22:41:20Z | http://the-lilac-avenue.blogspot.com/2009/10/changing-face-of-rural-india-education.html |

Matylda Obryk, Unsterblichkeitsglaube in den griechischen Versinschriften. Untersuchungen zur antiken Literatur und Geschichte, Bd 108. Berlin; Boston: De Gruyter, 2012. Pp. xii, 255. ISBN 9783110281774. $112.00.
As its title suggests, this book is a study of metrical inscriptions from the ancient Greek world that refer to immortality. The bulk of the work is a selection of 64 funerary epigrams. Included for each is a restored Greek text (cited from the latest published edition), a limited apparatus, a line-by-line German translation, brief comments on epigraphic and linguistic issues, and an interpretative discussion. The collection is followed by a synoptic analysis (55 pp.) of the conceptions of immortality found in the epigrams.
Although Obryk is interested in understanding the "Glaubenswelt" and the "Mentalität" of the Greeks, in her introduction she expresses appropriate reluctance about using the epigrams as evidence for popular (let alone individual) belief. The topoi that the inscriptions rely on must nonetheless have resonated in and influenced "das kollektive Bewußtsein" (p. 2). After a summary of the status quaestionis, she lays out her criteria for inclusion in the collection. The notion of Unsterblichkeit is interpreted quite broadly, to mean any kind of survival after death (including e.g. survival only in the memory of the living). The inscriptions (only epigrams actually preserved on stone are included) come from all over the Mediterranean world (mainly Asia Minor, Egypt, and Rome). Dates range from 432 BCE to 480 CE, with a strong slant towards the later end of this period: only two of the inscriptions are Classical and at least half are securely dated to the second century CE or later. Christian epigrams are excluded, although there is one uncertain case and several that originate in a Jewish milieu or at any rate demonstrate familiarity with the Septuagint.
The inscriptions are organized into six chapters according to (loose and sometimes overlapping) thematic categories. I will briefly summarize each.
The first chapter, "Feststellung der Dualität des menschlichen Wesens," presents eleven epigrams that in various ways conceive of the living human being as a body and a soul that are separated at death. Most intriguing is the famous inscription from a public monument in the Kerameikos at Athens to those who fell in the battle of Potidaea at the beginning of the Peloponnesian War, according to which the souls of the dead are received by the αἰθήρ, their bodies by the earth.
The second chapter, "Mythische Bilder als Träger des Unsterblichkeitsglaubens," offers twenty inscriptions loosely unified by their allusion to mythological traditions. One group portrays the deceased as joining the society of the gods, usually in some subordinate rank (e.g. a dead boy will be a new Ganymede, a doctor's son will complete his training from Asclepius himself). Another group refers (sometimes merely in passing) to a mythical location for the afterlife (e.g. Hades, Elysium).
The third chapter, "Konditionale Unvergänglichkeit," brings together a rather diverse group of nine inscriptions that all somehow make the immortality of the deceased explicitly dependent on deeds and virtuous qualities in this life. In one interesting case, the goddesses Dike and Moira take a woman from late antique Aphrodisias up into heaven because of her hospitality and pious deeds, while leaving her body in the grave together with her already deceased husband. The immortality in question may also be merely in memory: warriors from Hellenistic Miletus, for instance, are promised just ἀθάνατος μνήμη.
The nine inscriptions of the fourth chapter, "Katasterismos und das Firmament als Zufluchtsort," place the deceased among the stars of the night sky. The first two inscriptions, in which Obryk notes the apparent influence of the Phainomena of Aratus, give relatively precise celestial locations, but more often the starry heaven is spoken of more vaguely as a destination for the dead. Obryk interestingly contends that the stellar conception of immortality is "diesseitsbezogen, da der Himmel der Sterne sinnlich wahrnehmbar ist und somit kaum als Jenseits bezeichnet werden kann" (p. 197, cf. 95). But the occasional equation of the heavens with Olympus suggests that a more mythologized conception is at least sometimes in play (cf. Chapter 2).
The unity of the fifth chapter, "Einflüsse der Kulte und der Philosophie," is based on a (to my mind somewhat overstated) denial of a sharp distinction between religious cults and philosophical systems in the ancient Greek world. Obryk first offers six inscriptions that refer to the motif of "the water of life" in explicit or implicit connection with the cult of Isis and Osiris. These texts (some of which also draw on "Orphic" traditions about the afterlife, and only two of which actually come from Egypt) are evidence of a fascinatingly complex syncretism. Next are two inscriptions for deceased followers of Dionysus. Finally there are four inscriptions that show traces of the influence of philosophical thinking about immortality, all from the imperial period. Let me discuss these in slightly greater detail.
In the first,1 Obryk detects "platonisches Gedankengut" in the phrases ψυχὴ γὰρ ἀείζως, ἣ τὸ ζῆν παρέχει καὶ θεόφιν κατέβη and σῶμα χιτὼν ψυχῆς, but admits – rightly, given the brevity and lack of precise textual correspondences – that they "setzen nicht zwangslaüfig eine eingehende Kenntnis der platonischen Schriften voraus" (pp. 137-138). A fragment of Empedocles (DK 31 B 126) mentioned only in passing in a footnote seems a closer parallel for the second phrase than the Platonic passages that Obryk discusses. She sees the second and third inscriptions as influenced by Pythagoreanism (or rather Neopythagoreanism). The second2 speaks of the soul as ἀθανάτην κἀγήραον but trapped τύμβῳ εἰν ἀλάῳ (according to the conjecture of Rohde, who compared Vergil's carcere caeco). The third3 is a metrically imperfect couplet expressing an agnostic attitude about the possibility of reincarnation: "If it is possible to be born again, sleep will not hold you for long, but if it is not possible to come back, then sleep will be eternal." The fourth inscription4 comes from the grave of the Neoplatonist philosopher Syrianus, teacher of Proclus – a rather special case. These four examples suggest that distinctively philosophical engagement with questions of soul and immortality had relatively little broad cultural impact, at least as far as the tradition of pagan funerary epigram goes. As Obryk elsewhere puts it: "Die Seelenkonzepte großer Denker, wie unter anderem die von Platon oder Plotin, haben die in den Inschriften vorkommenden Seelenvorstellungen nur in einem ziemlich geringen Umfang beeinflußt" (p. 158).
In the sixth chapter, "Leugnung der Unsterblichkeit," Obryk offers three epigrams that explicitly deny the existence of an afterlife. Though couched in non-technical language, such epitaphs may be inspired by the tradition of myth- criticism or by Epicureanism. Obryk emphasizes that, despite a perspective diametrically opposed to that of the other texts in the collection, these inscriptions are still intended to provide consolation to those still living.
As this summary has indicated, the inscriptions collected here reflect an extremely broad range of conceptions and topoi. Sorting this out is the task of the second part of the book, which has in turn two main divisions. Obryk first discusses the subject or bearer of existence after death ("Mittler der Unsterblichkeit"). In about half of the selected inscriptions this is explicitly said to be the soul (usually referred to as the ψυχή), which is, however, variously conceived of (as an unindividuated life-force, as a shade-like counterpart to the living human, as the true self or even the divine element in a person). Obryk next turns to the nature of immortal existence ("Qualitäten der Unsterblichkeit"). Where is the deceased located? (The grave? Hades? The heavens?) And what is the deceased doing? (Continuing to exercise their earthly profession? Or enjoying a new life serving the gods?) Obryk's ultimate conclusions are not revolutionary: she emphasizes the overall lack of dogmatic tendencies in Greek religious thought, pointing in particular to the coexistence of "Diesseits" and "Jenseits" in conceptions of the afterlife.
Obryk rejects attempts to find patterns of development through time or regional tendencies: "Die meisten Vorstellungen existieren ungestört nebeneinander" (p. 155). This is surely to be explained in part by the choice to focus on metrical inscriptions, which, as she elsewhere notes, are clearly influenced by a conservative tradition of literary formulae and conventions. In general, the restricted range of evidence considered by Obryk means that intellectual and cultural historians interested in using epigraphic evidence to approach questions of belief and mentality should still consult Richmond Lattimore's Themes in Greek and Latin Epitaphs (Urbana, IL, 1942), which deals with Greek and Latin inscriptions in both verse and prose and includes a section on Christian epitaphs. Lattimore's method, however, is to offer only brief citations from various inscriptions to illustrate topoi. Obryk's different manner of presentation allows us to actually read the epigrams as artistic wholes. The inscriptions collected here are, in my view, worthy of this attention: they are hauntingly beautiful texts that challenge our distinction between the literary and the non-literary and offer us a fascinating glimpse into ancient lives at a uniquely humane and vulnerable moment.
In the second part, the book's origin as a doctoral dissertation (Cologne, 2010) is sometimes visible. The discussions of individual inscriptions under the various headings seem repetitive after the commentaries in the first part, and the expository structure sometimes feels labored. The volume is generously provided with indices (locorum, graecitatis, nominum, originum, rerum), as well as two tables giving the date and origin of the inscriptions and their numbers in other collections. In both tables inscription E12 (the Syrianus epitaph) is erroneously listed as D8. The volume is to my eye otherwise accurately printed and handsomely produced, as befits its high price.
1. E9, in Obryk's numbering, from Sabini, 1st/2nd century CE. Peek, Griechische Versinschriften I: Grabepigramme 1763 = IG XIV 2241.
2. E10, from Rome, 180-250 CE. Samama, Les médecins dans le monde grec 481 = IG XIV 1424.
3. E11, from Smyrna, 2nd century CE. Merkelbach-Stauber, Steinepigramme aus dem griechischen Osten 05/01/63.

There has been an awful lot of talking these last days on Paola Muraro, the new Rome Environment chief who has been working for the Waste Utility AMA for the last 12 years and represents no discontinuity with the catastrophic management of the waste cycle in the eternal city.
Zero Waste means a revolution towards the circular economy and ten steps towards a virtuous closing of the consumption cycle without waste. In this sense Ms Muraro professional experince and competence is the opposit of what is needed.
She obviously belongs to a completely opposit culture, mentality and spirit having been for the last 12 years the main consultant of AMA supervising the inciniration related plants and processes, and the President of the association of the pro incinirators lobby in Italy Atia-ISWA.
She was responsible for the managment of the two AMA MBT plants who lie in disastrous conditions, and for the policies concerning the organic waste which is organized “exporting” 150 tons of organioc waste a day (!!!) on trucks to the compost plant of Pordenone in Northern Italy, a process that press sources report as the result of dodgy tendering process that saw Ms Muraro as a consultant to AMA to write the tendering specifications and to the Company Bioman who won.
The Rome prosecutor office has opened a criminal investigation against Ms Muraro for her relations with “Mafia Capitale” personalities and for environmental violations reported by citizen of the Colleferro incinirators on the toxic quality of the MBT material that was certified non toxic by Ms Muraro according to the prosecutor claims, while instead it was.
In 2014 after Ms Muraro in her capacity of the incinirators supporters lobby ATIA-ISWA wrote a letter of complaint to Rai television for having broadcast the film, Trashed that she accused of making “environmental ill information and misguidance about the health risks of the incinirators“, (http://www.atiaiswa.it/2014/07/29/trashed-la-disinformazione-ambientale/), the 5 Star Movement wrote an article against her accusing of being the top lobbyist for incinirators (see http://www.movimento5stelle.it/parlamento/ambiente/2014/08/il-film-trashed-le-polemiche-e-quel-disperato-bisogno-di-monnezza.html).
The choice of Ms Muraro doesn’t find any possible justification under no point of view, because she needs mixed waste to justify her services, and is absolutely unable and unwilling to plan any strategy to reduce the outrageous amount of 3.000 tons of mixed waste that are incredibly produced dayly by the City of Rome (so much so that “waste reduction” is completely disappeared by the Roman radar screen.
She is instead very clear that that Rome should use Cerroni’s plants paying an outrageous amount of money per ton to use his very expensive waste chopper and MBT facilities, as reported by newspapers who unveiled that she met with Cerroni’s people even before she got appointed in order to make this unbelievable deal (anything but reducing waste!).
One can ask what has that to do with a Zero Waste Strategy promoted world wide by professor Paul Connett as main reference for the circular economy?
Which part of the REDUCE/REUSE/RECYCLE/REDESIGN strategy does the Rome Mayor not understant that she has appointed Ms Muraro as Environment Chief of the City of Rome?
Justifiers of this wicked choice mantain that Ms Muraro, regardless to her pro incinirators past, will now have to implement the Rome administration Zero Waste strategy.
But is that really so? In this analysis of the Rome Metropolitan Zero Waste Network, it is evident that it’s the opposit. It’s not Ms Muraro that is complying with Zero Waste, but it is the City of Rome that is complying with Ms Muraro / Mr Cerroni’s vision of the waste management, adopting the controversial “Gestione Integrata” which has no ambition of reducing or reusing but simply recycling a very small part of the waste produced, and leave the rest to be treated by MBT and chopping plants to end up in incinirators.
It is evident that when this Mayor says Zero Waste, she means something different, from what Zero Waste really is, as one can see by this article she wrote on Beppe Grillo’s blog a few days ago.
In that article she claimes Zero Waste strategy by referring to vague policies “aiming at the culture of reuse and recycle” (whatever that means), while the only concrete example of a Zero Waste action she claims is the fact of having made ordinary manteinance to MBT plants (see http://www.ilblogdellestelle.it/con_coraggio_ca.html).
It is evident that there is no ZERO WASTE plan for Rome despite the bombastic announcements of the pre-elections program (see http://www.beppegrillo.it/movimento/virginiaraggisindaco/singola2.html).
A plan that has obviously ended up in a Trash bin as soon as the word “Muraro” was pronounced by the Mayor.
The truth is, as this analysis shows, that Zero Waste is completely out of the Roman administration radar screen, and the city guidelines speak of a way less ambitious “Gestione Integrata” of the Waste Management.
This document hopes for a rapid correction of route towards a Zero Waste oriented policy based on existing legislation (deliberation 219/2014 of the Roman City Council), and calls for the 5 Star city government to stick to the origional Zero Waste claim and remain faithful to the strategy proposed by Paul Connett.
And by the TRASHED Film that Ms Muraro considers “ill informed” and “environmentally misguiding”.

This section focuses on Art Deco, Art Moderne, and Streamline Moderne buildings. There are more than 100 pages here and about 2,400 photos in this section. I'm partial to buildings from the later period (Streamline Moderne) so you will find a lot more of that style represented here. But there are plenty of Zig-Zag Moderne and WPA styles represented here. I'm also fonder of small commercial buildings which also get less attention than landmarked skyscrapers. You'll also find lots of other examples of Art Deco & Streamline Moderne buildings in other sections of my website. You might want to explore these sections listed at my home page: Gas Stations, Bus Stations, Eateries, Car Showrooms, Egyptian Revival, Five & Dime Stores, Tire Stores, Theatres, Bottling Plants, Diners, etc. If you have suggestions of buildings that I might have missed, I'd love to hear about them.

Even if you’ve put together a faultless resume and you’re dressed perfectly for the position, you still have a lot riding on the interview – perhaps the most yet. If you’ve made it to the interview, you’ve come pretty far. Make sure you don’t blow it at this point by not knowing what to expect or how to respond. Expecting the following questions and knowing answers will help you demonstrate professionalism and competence.
This question has about as much potential as anything you could be asked. Don’t talk about your love of climbing, however, talk about anything that relates to you and the job for which you’re applying. Think of your history, your traits, your characteristics and how they might relate to the job at hand. Don’t drone on too much about yourself but if at all possible provide a little insight into how who you are specifically qualifies you for this job.
This question let’s you brag about yourself just a little, which everyone should enjoy. Expound on the traits you mentioned when asked about yourself, but go into a little more detail. Once again, make sure your answers specifically reflect those abilities relevant to the job.
What Would Be Your Greatest Weakness: Nobody likes being asked about their faults, but this can be an excellent question to help you point out a place in which you’re working on improving. Avoid the completely cliché answers like “I’m a perfectionist” and answer honestly with something that hopefully isn’t directly associated with the position for which you’re applying.
Of course you will often be able to answer honestly and innocuously with news that you’re relocating your family or that your position was eliminated due to corporate downsizing. Don’t shy away from those answers, they won’t hurt.
It’s important to answer this question with practical, common sense answers. Don’t tell your interviewer that you hope to be retired or in his position. Once again, keep your answer to specifics relevant to the job. Mention your hopes for growth with skill sets relevant for the position for which you’re applying. It also can be an excellent idea to ask what a characteristic career path for someone in your position with your skills at this company looks like.
Clearly, making it to the interview is only half the battle. Don’t ruin your chances of getting the job by not expecting the previous questions or being comfortable with good, professional answers to them. | 2019-04-20T08:49:42Z | https://cvsampleresume.com/interview-questions-expect-answer |

Exactly, you don’t need to have the eye of a great designer to under stand that this car was inspired by the Ford Thunderbird, which came out of production just in the years when DKW started producing this car.
The similarities are in fact impressive and yet, despite the obvious American inspiration, we have no problem stating that this car came out very well, has a beautiful line and beautiful proportions and, last but not least, a nice character that does not it confuses it with other European cars of the same era, above all we consider the typical two-stroke engine of the DKW of that era.
The seller says that this car saw the road for the last time in 1970 and since then it has remained locked in a garage, however it has obvious problems of rust along the entire lower perimeter; we can easily imagine that the floors need to be replaced but the rest of the car looks ok. We are not DKW experts and we do not know the degree of re-availability of spare parts, so we do not know how difficult it is to find bumpers, but we are quite confident that, with money and patience, everything is possible.

Your Professional/Personal/Passionate Learning Network – Your PLN!
Struggling to stay afloat in a sea of information?
If there is one thing that is true of education today, it is that change is the only constant. Staying abreast of educational change can seem like a full time job in itself, and sometimes it seems fair enough to think that it is just not possible to stay afloat amid the overwhelming amount of information that is presented to us every day.
You are not alone! We are living in an age of information abundance, and it is no longer reasonable to expect that any one person can hold the entirety of knowledge on any particular topic within their brain, nor keep up with the rate of change in knowledge and information. In fact, people like David Weinberger, author of books such as (the extremely long titled) Too Big to Know: Rethinking Knowledge Now That the Facts are not the Facts, Experts are Everywhere, and the Smartest Person in the Room is the Room and Everything is Miscellaneous go so far as to say that technology is reshaping the way we understand and experience knowledge, and that we must begin to teach network literacy, as it will be the connections that we have, and the ability to access information when we need it that will be a determinant of success in the future, rather than the ability to store knowledge in our own brains, which has previously been how we have assessed expertise.
As educators, we know more than anyone that in a rapidly changing world, a student who has learned how to learn, who is flexible and is able to transfer skills across contexts, and who knows how, when and of whom to ask the right questions are likely to be the most successful – in life, if not in standardised tests.
So in an environment of infowhelm, who can we turn to to seek support, ask questions, share learnings and sometimes just have a laugh (or cry!)? Teachers have always been able to turn to each other for this support, however in a networked world, we are fortunate in that we can reach beyond the boundaries of our own school, and connect with others all over the country and the world.
A networked teacher, connecting to the many sources which Alec Couros has described above, has a very healthy PLN – a Personal, Professional, Passionate Learning Network – a community of like-minded individuals who might never meet in person, but which challenge, push, share, teach and support each other.
So if you are convinced…or even if you want to give it a go…there are many tools that you can use.
One of the most popular is Twitter, and I have written before on the value of using this tool as a way of making connections with other educators (just click on the link above or on the image below to read the blog post about how to get connected using Twitter).
Of course, Twitter is just one tool; you can build your PLN using Facebook, through subscribing to blogs, by contributing to communities on Google Plus or Diigo, or by connecting with and following curators on Scoopit, Pinterest or Pearltrees. You can choose one or all – the beautiful thing about PLNs is that they are PERSONAL! No one can tell you how best to grow your connections, or which tools will suit you best! You can spend as little or as much time as you like developing your networks, and the flexibility of online PLNs is that they are always accessible – either during working hours, or after hours, whether you are a night person or a morning person, a visual person or a verbal one – you learn the way that suits you best, where it best suits and when.
Hopefully this post has whetted your appetite for exploring the potential of developing your own PLN.
You can also check out my presentation, which I shared at the Edutech Conference in Brisbane in June 2015, (see below) or become part of my PLN – you can follow me on Twitter as KayC28.
Understanding E-Textbooks – it’s not Elementary!
Many schools are currently wrestling with the concept of e-textbooks. The traditional textbook provided a simple interface to support student learning; the e-textbook creates numerous complexities. However, like everything in education, we are challenged to provide whatever offers students the best learning experience.
The ability to publish books in a digital format is still so new; although we have had access to pdf versions of textbooks and texbook information available via a cd-rom for some time, the iPad, through which so many of us access e-publications was launched on the 3 April, 2010 – just 3 years ago! The Kindle became available in Australia just one year before that – on October 19, 2009.
It is easy to forget this fact, and also to overlook the fact that the physical textbook itself has gone through many iterations to become what it is today. One of the earliest textbooks is Ars minor (The Smaller Art [of Grammar]). It was written in the 4th century by Aelius Donatus, who was the teacher of Jerome who translated the Bible from Hebrew and Greek into Latin. Donatus’s Ars minor was one of the first items to be printed in Europe, on Gutenberg’s printing press. By the time education was made compulsory in the 19th century, the textbook had established its place in the classroom; it sold approximately 2 million copies in 18th century America.
So a tool that has been central to teaching and learning for over 300 years is now being challenged by a new delivery method – is it any wonder that for those of us teaching during this time of transition, we are finding that it is not all smooth sailing!
Some challenges may derive from the fact that the potentials of digital delivery of learning materials go far beyond the traditional textbook format, however currently some publishers are trying to replicate the textbook model, using digital tools.
At present, there are many models of digital rights management, and each publisher retains the right to determine how users may access the content, and for how long. Textbooks may be licenced to individual students via registration keys which may expire after 12, 18 or 24 months, and the ability to transfer ownership should a student no longer require a text varies in complexity, and is in some cases not possible. Schools which previously operated a book hire scheme cannot offer this cost-saving measure when using digital textbooks. Students themselves often find that they find the traditional paper textbook easier to manage, depending upon the subject material.
The website and application provide an industry solution for the distribution of digital textbooks to secondary school students. LearningField provides a resource-rich digital platform which allows teachers to select the best material to support the differing needs of Years 7–10 students across all subject areas. Initially content is provided by publishers Cambridge University Press, Jacaranda, Oxford University Press and Pearson.
While paper textbooks will probably exist for quite some time yet, initiatives such as this show that there is scope to move beyond traditional models of content delivery, and to embrace the potential that digital technology provides. The next few years will most probably be a bumpy journey, and currently e-textbooks are anything but elementary; but one good thing about the rate of technological change is that we certainly will not be waiting for too long! | 2019-04-24T23:50:17Z | https://resourcelinkbce.wordpress.com/tag/21st-century-learning/ |

AIG’s relatively small incentive program for independent resellers of its insurance products became a symbol of corporate greed. As the economy sputtered, the travel & meetings industry sputtered along with it. It was hard to get planners to even try StaffReservations, even with free accounts during our beta period. Slowly though, things have been getting better –when you see a discussion of the industry’s health in a mainstream outlet (read: not one of our niche publications), it’s a good bet that the space has recovered. Signups here at StaffRes are starting to pick up as well.
“Incentive travel is showing the fastest rate of growth in all group business,” Benson says, adding that the resort sold about 200,000 group room nights this year vs. 146,000 a year ago. | 2019-04-26T06:48:11Z | http://blog.staffreservations.com/2011/11/incentive-travel-is-back/ |
Here are some peeks of something I’ve been working away on. Donnalee gave me a couple of painted boxes before she left to the UK for a year to work on her masters. She wanted me to to create something from them. She mentioned something about pinecones that stuck in my head… and this is what I came up with.
She also asked me to curate a collaborative show for Peake st studios ( a wonderful local art collective)… but sadly I’ve dropped the ball on that. I haven’t been able to find a space, as the Guild (our usual space) is booked all year.
Hopefully we can get something set up for next year. At least my pieces are done!
Display on you new studio.
LOVE it. Want it. Am I becoming a LJS junkie?

Like the previous year, India and China topped the list of top 10 countries that received most Express Entry invitations. While India received 42 percent of the 88,000 invitations, China received only nine percent. Countries that made to the top 10 list include Nigeria, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, the United States, Brazil, Iran, Republic of Ireland, Australia, and rest of the world. France and the Philippines didn’t carry their 2016 ranking into 2017 and made a place for Brazil and Iran. Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada also revealed some interesting insights of the Express Entry system in 2017.
All top three occupations belonged to the information and technology sector, with most of the professionals being Indians. These occupations were information systems analyst and consultant, software engineer, and computer programmers and interactive media developers. Like 2017, Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta received the most number of permanent residents in 2017. Surprisingly, Atlantic provinces of Canada – Nova Scotia and New Brunswick saw an increase in permanent residents. Express Entry’s three economic programs and provincial nominee programs saw a 40 percent in permanent residents settling in Nova Scotia and more than 50 percent in New Brunswick.
Manitoba and Saskatchewan, which make up Canada’s prairie region, welcomed growth in admissions in 2017. In total, around 65,401 Express Entry applicants arrived in Canada with their family members as permanent residents in 2017. Ontario received the most number of immigrants, totaling at 36,087 permanent residents. British Columbia was second with 12,401 immigrants, Alberta took the third place with 8,687 immigrants, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia welcomed 2,869 and 2,269 immigrants respectively. Canada’s territories of Yukon and Nunavut received 23 and eight permanent residents each and took the last two spots in the list. Since Quebec has its own immigration system, those who went to that province weren’t counted in this review. | 2019-04-18T21:03:22Z | https://visatime.com/world-news/high-number-of-express-entry-invitations-received-by-india-and-china/ |

Economists, top industry players and the National Economics Students Association (NESA) have said that the country’s development and economic prosperity is tied to strategic investment of subsidy funds in critical infrastructure and social security.
They acknowledged that development of any economy involves a painstaking process, stressing that the subsidy fund would find better use if it is invested in developing infrastructure across the country.
The experts, who attended NESA’s Fuel Subsidy Debate organised by The Peter Bauer Foundation, also known as The Liberal Forum (TLF) in Lagos, agreed that investments in fuel subsidy amounts to wastage and lopsided distribution of wealth in the country.
Among them are, Director of Research and Advocacy, Lagos Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Dr. Vincent Nwani, Founder of Joy Incorporated, Chude Jideonwo, Senior Tax Accountant, Seven Energy, Suraj Oyewale and Kunle Ajiboye of Simplialpha, compliance and anti-money laundering experts.
In a communiqué made available to The Guardian yesterday, the TFL explained that the yearly debate is a forum for Nigerian economists and policy experts to engage university students on discussions of policy reforms and development.
The debate between NESA of the University of Illorin and University of Lagos (UNILAG), was however, won by UNILAG’s Padonu Lois and Ibrahim Lasisi.
Padonu argued that removal of subsidy would reduce the country’s debt profile, adding: “Infrastructure, health and education are key indicators for development in a country, so investing in these sectors would only make for development”.
Lasisi, who won the best speaker at the event, linked investment in infrastructure to poverty eradication and prevention of accidents on Nigerian roads.
“By diverting subsidy funds into road and other infrastructure repairs, accidents would be reduced on our roads,” he said.
Secretary of TLF’s Governing Board, Dr. Abimbola Agboluaje, said young Nigerians have a special stake in whether trillions of Naira is invested in providing them a sound education and in infrastructure or used to subsidise consumption of fuel by richer Nigerians. | 2019-04-24T10:13:10Z | https://m.guardian.ng/news/experts-link-nations-growth-to-investment-of-subsidy-funds/ |

Gears of War 4 is receiving its largest update since release and it comes packed with a ton of new features including new maps, new skills, difficulty levels, crossplay ranked matches, as well as a free demo.
Players who haven't had a chance to pick up Gears of War 4 yet can get a chance to play for free on both Xbox One and Windows 10. From June 9-15 there is a limited time trial version of Gears of War 4 to download which offers 10 hours of free play. It includes the entire first act of the campaign and full access to the Horde and Versus modes.
The online multiplayer experience has been a focus throughout the lifetime of Gears 4 and The Coalition has reconfigured the online multiplayer for a smoother experience on both Xbox One and Windows 10. Crossplay will now run across almost all game modes, including Ranked play. Players who take umbrage with the controller versus keyboard and mouse setup can turn the crossplay feature off to only play against others on their platform.
New skills have been added to each of the classes, as well as two new maps: the snow covered town from Gears of War 2, Avalanche, and the Gears of War 3 close quarters tunnels of Rust Lung. New difficulty settings have been added, as well as new re-ups and rewards.

BENTONVILLE, Arkansas, September 16, 2013 (ENS) – Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, has decided to offer products with less harmful chemicals, increase the use of recycled materials, reduce fertilizer use in agriculture, and increase energy efficiency in the products its stores carry. The new standards apply to Walmart stores in the United States and elsewhere around the world.
At its Global Sustainability Milestone Meeting Thursday, Walmart president and CEO Mike Duke highlighted the company’s Sustainability Index, a measurement system used to track the environmental impact of products.
“We’ve reached an acceleration point where we are moving from measurement to results. We’re starting to really drive progress with the Index,” Duke said.
“This is about trust and value. Using less energy, greener chemicals, fewer fertilizers and more recycled materials – all of this – is the right thing to do for the planet and it’s right for our customers and our business,” he said.
The Sustainability Index has been applied to 200 product categories, and to more than 1,000 suppliers. By the end of this year, Duke says the Index will expand to include more than 300 product categories and as many as 5,000 suppliers.
Since the Index rolled out to Walmart product categories in August 2012, it has shown a trend of improved product sustainability. Walmart’s general merchandise department has improved its Index product sustainability score by an average of 20 percent; the grocery department by an average of 12 percent; and consumables and health and wellness by an average of six percent.
“With the Sustainability Index, Walmart is applying the science and research that we’ve developed to create a more sustainable supply chain globally,” said Kara Hurst, CEO of The Sustainability Consortium, a citizens group in the United States and The Netherlands that works with member companies to improve consumer product sustainability.
“We’re excited about the significant progress Walmart and its suppliers are making and value their partnership with us to address big issues and drive real social and environmental change,” said Hurst.
Walmart has been working with suppliers, nonprofits, industry experts and government to develop and implement solutions that address critical problems and opportunities across the global supply chain.
Five major initiatives are underway.
Walmart aims to grow both the supply and demand for recycled plastics so they can be diverted from landfill and get a second life. More than 29 million tons of plastics are sent to landfills every year in the United States at a cost of about $6.6 billion annually.
The company is working with cities to increase plastic recycling and with suppliers to increase the use of recycled content and make packaging more recyclable. Changes in packaging are already being implemented in product categories such as beverage, over-the-counter drugs, dairy creamers and berry containers.
Last week, Walmart and Sam’s Club announced a smartphone trade-in program in the United States that goes into effect September 21. The company will not send these trade-ins to landfills, domestically or internationally, a move that could keep hundreds of thousands of smartphones from landfills every year.
Walmart is working with suppliers to reduce or eliminate the use of priority chemicals used in consumables products in favor of less harmful alternatives. It will begin with household cleaning, personal care, beauty and cosmetic products, asking suppliers to transition to greener substitutes for priority chemicals.
Starting in January 2014, Walmart will begin to label its private brand cleaning products in accordance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s recommended Design for the Environment Safer Product Labeling program.
Walmart declined to say which specific chemicals would be phased out but confirmed that they all appear on the list of chemicals that the U.S. advocacy group Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families published in April as part of its Mind the Store campaign. The campaign asked the top 10 retailers to phase out 100 hazardous chemicals in the products they sell.
“Walmart’s decision to banish cosmetics and cleaners made with toxic chemicals will revolutionize the marketplace and help all of us live better by making safer products the new normal,” said Janet Nudelman, director of program and policy for the Breast Cancer Fund and co-founder of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.
In another initiative, Walmart is requiring suppliers who use commodity grains, such as corn, wheat and soy in their products, to develop a fertilizer optimization plan that outlines clear goals to improve performance based on research conducted through the Sustainability Index. Walmart says the company and its suppliers have the potential to reduce fertilizer use on 14 million acres of farmland in the U.S. by 2020.
Walmart will expand the Sustainability Index and measurement to international markets with the goal of improving product sustainability at the global level.
Walmart Chile and Walmart Mexico will launch the Sustainability Index in their respective markets in 2014. In addition, South Africa’s Massmart has begun to include key Index questions in its supplier sustainability surveys.
Duke said the Index has uncovered the importance of energy efficiency in several product categories, such as televisions, plastic toys, small appliances and greeting cards. By working with suppliers to improve energy efficiency through the supply chain of these products, Index energy scores have already improved 23 percent in general merchandise categories, the company said Thursday. Walmart is now providing tools for suppliers to help track and reduce the energy used to produce these products.
Walmart has announced its goal to be supplied 100 percent by renewable energy. In 2012, Walmart added nearly 100 renewable energy projects, bringing the total number of projects in operation worldwide to nearly 300 today. According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, it has more solar power capacity and number of systems than any other company in America. | 2019-04-25T00:18:12Z | http://ens-newswire.com/2013/09/16/walmart-requires-greener-chemicals-recycling-energy-efficiency/ |
By the time a national School of Musketry was founded in 1911 to replace its colonial and state counterparts, Australians had already fought in several wars earning honours such as “Suakin 1885” and “South Africa 1899 – 1902”. Nevertheless, there was no museum to collect and preserve the Infantry experience of war. The School of Musketry’s first commandant and chief instructor, Major Francis Bede Heritage, sought to rectify this. He donated firearms from his personal collection to the school, which formed the foundation of the school's 'Small Arms' collection.
On his return as commandant of the school in 1920, Colonel Heritage continued to expand and widen the scope of the collection. In 1921, Captain Ernest William Latchford, MC, on the staff of the school, received a quantity of Great War weapons from the Australian War Memorial, consisting of machine guns, grenades and revolvers of Great War vintage, including including many captured enemy weapons.
With the departure of Colonel Heritage in 1922 the development of the collection continued under the direction of Captain Latchford, MC. Consequently, both galleries in the museum are named “Heritage” and “Latchford” in recognition of their great contribution.
Only a few additions to the collection were made during World War II. Major J. E. M. Hall, while attending a small arms technical course in the United Kingdom, managed to interest the authorities in the school’s collection and as a result, secured a valuable and extensive variety of weapons of World War II origin.
After 1945, the collection continued to grow into a comprehensive collection of military pistols, rifles, sub machine guns, light machine guns, machine guns, anti-tank weapons and mortars. The museum also acquired a number of prototype and trials weapons with many of these being some of the rarest weapons within the collection.
In 1965, the collection was redesignated the Royal Australian Infantry Corps Museum when the patron, the then General Officer Commanding Eastern Command, Major General Thomas Daly DSO OBE officially opened the museum at Ingleburn, New South Wales. The museum's “Daly Room” library bears his name.
The museum was relocated, to Singleton, New South Wales, with the Infantry Centre in late 1973 and officially opened on 15th March 1974, by Sir Roden Cutler VC, Governor of New South Wales. In December of 1998, the museum came under the command of the Army History Unit and is now an integral part of the Australian Army History Unit.
The museum serves as a mirror to the corps. It is a place where young soldiers learn about the history behind the names they are familiar with from high school or perhaps about the military service of a family member. Gallipoli, The Somme, Tobruk, The Kokoda Trail, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan are all bought to life along with less familiar deployments like the New South Wales Marine Light Infantry deployment to Peking in 1900 to combat the Boxer rebellion or 12 Platoon, Delta Company , 2nd/4th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment that helped to keep the peace in Cambodia in 1993.
The exhibition is divided into two areas. The ground floor displays focus on the chronological history of infantry operational deployments, from Sudan in 1885 through to our current deployments.
The mezzanine displays focus on the small arms and their associated training aids the infantryman's ‘tools of the trade' and how they have developed and influenced the tactics, techniques and procedures of the Royal Australian Infantry Corps. | 2019-04-25T18:37:38Z | http://www.infantrymuseum.com.au/about.php |

Two topics come to mind when I think about this image: “bad” light and cropping.
Light: Yes, all photographers know that the best light is usually early in the morning (just before and after sunrise) and in the evening (just before and after sunset). However, that does not mean that you can’t take good photos during the middle of the day. I didn’t do a whole lot to this photo to enhance it, other than to add a little bit of a warm glow effect.
Cropping: Depending on your camera, the photos you take are probably in a 3×2 format (SLRs) or in a 4×3 format (compact cameras), but you don’t always have to keep that aspect ratio. The high megapixel count of almost all digital cameras these days means that you have plenty of room to crop, and still end up with a high resolution image.
In this image, the line of geese begged for a more elongated format, so I cropped it to a 16×9 ratio (which is incidentally the ratio of widescreen TVs and many computer monitors). I wanted a little space in front of the geese (i.e., at the right edge of the photo) into which the geese can walk in the viewer’s mind. However, I didn’t want more “negative” space above or below the geese.
So, the next time you look at an image of yours that doesn’t seem to quite match the default format of your cameras photos, try experimenting with different aspect ratios.

I love the progression of shadows, right to left, large to small, on the bodies of the birds. This causes the eye to move along the line of geese, almost suggesting motion. The limited color palette also gives the photo an air of antiquity that I personally like. | 2019-04-20T02:52:33Z | https://recordingthelight.com/2012/08/12/picture-of-the-week-32-geese-at-lake-murray/ |

We have just heard how Mary went to meet her cousin Elizabeth. She set out without delay, without doubts, without lessening her pace, to be with her relative who was in the last months of her pregnancy.
Mary’s encounter with the angel did not hold her back since she did not consider herself privileged, or make her hesitate in leaving those around her. On the contrary, it renewed and inspired an attitude for which Mary is and always will be known: she is the woman who says “yes”, a “yes” of surrender to God and, at the same time, a “yes” of surrender to her brothers and sisters. This is the “yes” which prompted her to give the best of herself, going forth to meet the others.
Listening to this Gospel passage in this place has a special significance. Mary, the woman who gave her “yes”, wished also to come to the inhabitants of these American lands through the person of the Indian St Juan Diego. Just as she went along the paths of Judea and Galilee, in the same way she walked through Tepeyac, wearing the indigenous garb and using their language so as to serve this great nation. Just as she accompanied Elizabeth in her pregnancy, so too she has and continues to accompany the development of this blessed Mexican land. Just as she made herself present to little Juan, so too she continues to reveal herself to all of us, especially to those who feel, like him, “worthless” (cf. Nican Mopohua, 55). This specific choice, we might call it preferential, was not against anyone but rather in favour of everyone. The little Indian Juan who called himself a “leather strap, a back frame, a tail, a wing, oppressed by another’s burden” (ibid.), became “the ambassador, most worthy of trust”.
And in the silence, and in this looking at her, we will hear what she says to us once more, “What, my most precious little one, saddens your heart?” (Nican Mopohua, 107). “Yet am I not here with you, who have the honour of being your mother?” (ibid., 119).
Am I not your mother? Am I not here? Do not let trials and pains overwhelm you, she tells us. Today, she sends us out anew; as she did Juancito, today, she comes to tell us again: be my ambassador, the one I send to build many new shrines, accompany many lives, wipe away many tears. Simply be my ambassador by walking along the paths of your neighborhood, of your community, of your parish; we can build shrines by sharing the joy of knowing that we are not alone, that Mary accompanies us. Be my ambassador, she says to us, giving food to the hungry, drink to those who thirst, a refuge to those in need, clothe the naked and visit the sick. Come to the aid of those in prison, do not leave them alone, forgive whomever has offended you, console the grieving, be patient with others, and above all beseech and pray to God. And in the silence tell him what is in our heart.

An in depth look at the gear I choose to carry with me. I don’t think myself an expert on the issue, nor is this meant to be a definitive list. It’s merely what I have found to work for me through trial and error. Overpacking, under packing, asking lots of stupid questions and buying the wrong thing in ignorance only to shortly find out I wasted my money.
Going light weight with gear is almost always an expensive venture, but at the end of the day, the less weight you are carrying, the less you are wrestling your bike and the more you can just ride and enjoy yourself.
The cheapest way to save weight is simple: only take what you need. I must stress that is not to say don’t have absolutely everything you need to be prepared, but I have saved a lot of weight by leaving some of the creature comforts at home.
Below is the gear I carried with me on my 4.5 day traverse of the Hunt 1000 route through the Australian High Country from Canberra to Melbourne. I used everything I carried except my rain pants, we were fortunate with weather but its something I’d choose to carry every time up in the Alps when you never know what the weather is going to do.
In retrospect the only other thing I wish I’d taken was another pair of socks!
“All” this weighs in at 3.7kg, however for a short overnighter where I’m not going as remote and can expect warmer weather I can easily get the pack weight under 3kg which isn’t all that much extra weight to strap to a bike. I have invested a reasonable amount of money in gear though. To me its worth it because I use all the gear on a very regular basis. However, not everyone either can or wants to invest a lot in their gear.
Backpackers often talk about “The Big 3” in terms of gear: being sleeping bag, shelter and bag/pack. Most bikepackers choose not to carry a pack if at all possible, so we can disregard that, as the difference in weight of most bikepacking bags is negligible. The idea for the other two though, is that these items will be the heaviest things you’re carrying and hence, the easiest place to save weight by replacing them with lighter alternatives.
Another good place to save weight, but also space (which I think isn’t so much of an issue with backpacks, but is with bikepacking bags where space is limited and everything gets compressed down) is cooking gear. I once thought that the idea of not taking a stove was a bit too extreme, but after deciding I could forego my morning coffee and figuring out how to eat without cooking (i.e rehydrating with cold water), mine often gets left at home now for shorter trips.
When I do take it with me, I still keep it very simple. A small gas stove, a gas canister and a 600mL ti mug/pot. All I’m doing is boiling water to make oats, cous cous, noodles, instant soup, “dehy” meals, tea or coffee. The mug is used to both boil water in and eat/drink from. Bowls, plates and big pots are all heavy, but possibly worse; very awkward shapes to pack.

Texas furthermore have a lefty concerning the mound tonight with 3.J. Wilson getting the video call. He is 12-5 across the year using a 3.20 Time period. His last time out, he held the Angels to two runs in seven innings to notch his 12th win in the season. Wilson is 3-1 against the Red Sox with a time of particular.69.
Detroit’s offense is significantly more potent significantly thus season, scoring 41 runs, second in the majors. Chicago has deal just 24 runs, info remains simply a half game back from the Tigers.
Most run production happens from the 1-5 spots in the lineup. Sure, Juan Pierre could have better on-base skills, however for the team’s roster, he’s the ideal leadoff hitter. If Pierre can replicate his .341 OBP from 2010, he’ll in the least be ok.
Coming off a season in that the Tigers went 27-45 against their AL Central division foes, could be imperative that the Tigers show well against a sale jerseys team that took 12 of 18 from Detroit in 2009.
One of the tactics is a “brush back pitch”. This course is usually used to handle a potentially dangerous hitter outside the plate and instill just a little fear as they is at bat. causing him to think and perhaps, hesitate.
Rodriguez himself had to be able to drive in the go-ahead run in the 11’th, yet grounded by helping cover their a runner at third. The Yankees have had to welcome him back as they quite simply have hardly any other big bats for these clutch situations, but he missed on his first big position.
What worries me constantly I’m positive Owens will be able to simply hit the ball harder. His extra-base numbers in the minor leagues are not impressive: 24 in 2006, 13 in 2007, 12 in 2008 (all with AAA Charlotte). He may not have it in him to get 30+ extra base hits in a season, in case he’s gonna be stick for at least a year, he in order to turn himself into an on-base device. | 2019-04-24T16:06:49Z | http://www.jerseysmoz.com/2018/04/ |

The Great Orme, Y Gogarth, that iconic limestone outcrop that defines Llandudno has been a centre of population and industry for thousands of years. Copper mining was been carried out here during the Bronze Age, It was later occupied by the Romans, and it was here in the seventh century that Tudno founded his church. In the medieval period it was home to a farming community and later the mines were reopened and once again Llandudno became a source of copper.
A small cave, little more than seven feet square, but with its own spring of fresh water, looking out to sea on the north coast of the Orme is reputed to have been Tudno’s cell; and his church remains, high above this point still isolated from any present day habitation.
Tudno was a Welshman, supposed to have been son of a King of Maes Gwyddino, lands that were flooded and lost in the sixth century and now lie under the sea in Cardigan Bay. On losing their lands he and his brothers took refuge and became monks at the great monastery at Bangor on Dee, and when that was destroyed by the Saxons Tudno, who survived the massacre, fled to form his cell at what has now become known as Llandudno.
The Great Orme was attractive for settlement throughout history as it has a number of strong fresh water springs scattered across it. These would have been invaluable in the mining process as well as providing water to early residents on the hillside. Close to Tudno’s church is Ffynnon Rufeining which can be translated as the Roman’s Well and close to which Roman coins have been found. Another well, some hundred yards from Tudno’s church became known and visited as St Tudno’s Well.
Llandudno, as it is known today, sprang up, with rapid development, in the mid Victorian period in the age when the advent of rail travel led to an explosion in the development of seaside resorts. The town became fashionable and grew rapidly, linking the former isolated settlements that existed around both the Great and Little Ormes. As the town developed the springs on the Orme were looked to for a ready source of fresh water. In around 1860 a reservoir was dug, the remains of which though now dry can still be seen to the east of St Tudno’s church. A number of springs were diverted to feed this, whilst water from others were piped directly down to the town.
A line of pipe commencing at the Gogarth Springs and terminating at the junction of streets called or known as Church Walls and Abbey Road in Llandudno.
Take, collect, divert and use all or some of the waters called or known as the Gogarth Springs Ffynnon Powell, Ffynnon Tudno, Ffynnon Llety’r Fadon and of the streams and waters which directly or derivatively flow or proceed into or out of the same respectively.
As a result the flow from St Tudno’s Well would have been significantly reduced, leaving us with the small trickle that we see today.
… at the foot of steep ground formed by a small level platform in a hillside falling to the east. The water stands in a square basin, three feet each way, in a cleft cut into the steep slope. The basin has a slightly curved back and is walled on all sides except the east with drystone masonry, 3 ft 6 in high forming a revetment to the slope and capped by a massive limestone slab 3 ft 6 in long and 2 ft wide from to back and 6 in thick. The open side of the pool on the east is approached by a stone flagged passage 3 ft long. Some 9 ft in front of the well on level ground is another small pool 4ft by 2ft contained in a modern brick surround.
Despite its long history, and obvious use as a water source, I have found no description of it being used as a healing well, although undoubtedly it was. It is referred to seldom in the topographical and tourist books of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries – clearly by that time Llandudno had new excitements to offer.
St Tudno’s feast day is celebrated on 5th June.
Note that Ffynnon Dudno lies on private land and there is no public access to the site. We were fortunate to have the opportunity to visit the well on a very grey, wet and windy day as a part of a group visit organised by the local churches with the permission of the land owner. | 2019-04-24T09:57:55Z | https://wellhopper.wales/2013/05/31/ffynnon-dudno-llandudno/ |

Your Blogging from A-to-Z Challenge experience can be as simple or as complicated as you make it. Having a theme for the month can be helpful; yet, there is no rule that says you need to have one. So how can you get the most bang for your blogging buck while figuring out what to post every day in April and visiting hundreds of other blogs in the process? Do something that will grab your readers’ attention and get people talking about (and linking to) your blog posts.
Vancouver based artist Courtney Pearson used Legos to depict various subjects such as dancing and tributes to Sherlock Holmes, when she participated in the 2012 Blogging from A-to-Z Challenge. To date, her cute alphabet inspired displays are one of the most memorable blog posts in the history of the challenge.
What makes Courtney’s theme so interesting is that she bucks the writing trend that packs the A-to-Z Challenge year after year. Most of her blog posts contain one-liners while others are no longer than a single paragraph. Although this former A-to-Z Challenge participant fell short of completing all 26 days of blogging, here are two useful lessons that can be gleaned from her efforts of showing more, writing less and adding a much appreciated touch of whimsy to our alphabet blogathon.
Use food, knickknacks or other items around the house to illustrate a theme related to a letter of the alphabet. For example, try creating a smiley face for the Letter S, using fruit, vegetables or cereal. You could also do a collage depicting what your ideal vacation looks like. New Years may have passed but there is still time to create a vision board for your bucket list, yearly resolutions or general life goals. The A-to-Z Challenge is a good opportunity to share the process of making a collage, showing readers how they can make one on their own using similar materials. This would be PERFECT for those of you who are into scrapbooking.
Take Wordless Wednesdays to another level by posting one image of a person, place or object representing a letter of the alphabet, every day in April. Of course, this means you have to take photos yourself (which is easy since the camera on your cell phone has probably already been taken for a spin many times over). If 26 photos sound daunting to you, consider using images as a backup for days when you don’t have the time or interest in writing yet another 500-word (give or take) blog post to keep up with the letter of the day.
These two lessons can help to make your Blogging from A to Z Challenge fun because they involve less work and more play. So, if at any point you find yourself short on words in April, take these lessons into consideration and you just might survive the A-to-Z Challenge.
What is YOUR plan to ace the Blogging from A-to-Z Challenge this year?
A-to-Z Challenge Co-Host Nicole Ayers writes about magic, theaters and women in the U.S. Navy at The Madlab Post. Chat with her @MadlabPost on Twitter.
Thanks for this advice. This is my second year. I'm greatly looking forward to it. I'm doing a little prep but not writing all my posts in advance. There's an excitement in spontaneity for me. I like the marathon aspect of the challenge. I believe that's its spirit though I respect all the different ways people are going at it.
Oh, I have a plan but I need to do so much more work on it. Now I'm thinking about taking some photoes.
Good ideas! ☺ I used many photos last year, in my "Travel & Culture" theme. Different theme this year, not so dependant on images. I've done all the "grunt work" for each post (logos, blurbs, etc.) and now need to get going on the actual content. The plan is to have them all pre-written, because it was a bit of a scramble last timer.
Originality and creativity can attract readers who stay with your theme throughout the Challenge. Keeping a following is one of the greatest achievements of a blogger during April and throughout the year.
I try to rely more on images and keep the text to a minimum. I'm really doing that big time this year.
Mine include pics and short snippets of text.
That was a great theme!
Great ideas shared here. I am going very simple with me theme this year. Picture daily plus minimal text.
Right now my plan is to read as many posts as possible. More important than what I have to say is what others have to say at this point in my life.

The draft law, on commercial fraud is a big breather for various brand owners in UAE, providing for provisions like dealing with only a single cross emirate enforcement body, instead of multiple ones, a possibility of surge in penalties, confirmation of its application in UAE’s Free Zones, seizing of source documents & other information on the infringing activities, among other things.
Return of the counterfeit goods by the importers, to the country of its origin, as there is a possibility that counterfeit goods may get re-exported, & get returned to the UAE itself.
Another provision is related to such re-exports conflicting with the UAE’s obligations under the Agreement on Trade- Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), which so restricts in an unaltered state.
The coverage of the Anti-Commercial Fraud Law with respect to lookalike goods, and those bearing a trademark being identical to a registered one. Earlier the draft law did not purport to cover these abovementioned.
Providing for higher penalties or not so as to become a stringent deterrent.
Ambiguity still exists, regarding hefty sums of money with regard to applications to be made to the court, for its sanction for the release of seized counterfeit goods, by way of order within 30 days of the such seizure.
The Establishment of a single body to combat trade in counterfeit goods across all emirates in the UAE, instead of dealing with independent authorities in each of the country’s seven emirates.
Where the importer is identifiable, provision for the destruction of the counterfeit goods.
Duty on infringers to disclose information & documents, relating to the dealings in counterfeit goods. Such a provision in the Draft Anti-Commercial Fraud Law, gives sanction to the authorities of not only the seizure of the counterfeit goods but also the right to obtain the source documents of such goods.
Prohibition on the possession of counterfeit goods especially, where no clear evidence exists, of an intention to sell.
Such draft law has to pass through the Ministerial level, for further amendments, if any & finally it will come into effect when the UAE President signs & assents to it & it is published in the UAE official gazette. This law is expected to be in force within six months, but may get delayed.
A phenomenal law is to be enacted, with making the Health Insurance compulsory for all the residents and visitors, to Dubai, inclusive of the free zones. Such so carefully made draft law will begin to roll out within a period of eight month’s time. In this, the Dubai Government has now announced that in addition to the existing salary of the employees, it will be mandatory for all businesses to provide good-quality health insurance to their respective employees.
It is to be rolled out in phases, & in the first phase of the scheme the companies employing more than 1000 employees is required to provide health insurance to their workers by October.
In the second phase of the scheme, the Companies employing 100 to 999 employees is required to provide health insurance to their workers by the end of July, 2015. Companies with less than 100 employees have to provide this health insurance by the end of June 2016.
The violator of this law will face a bulky fine anywhere ranging between Dh500 and Dh 150,000.In case of continued default maximum fine of Dh 500,000 can be imposed.
Providing health insurance to their employees is the primarily responsibility of the Employer.
Individuals who wish to obtain residential status or visit visa has to comply with the health insurance requirements.
The government of Dubai will be responsible for UAE nationals resident in Dubai.
The DHA (Dubai Health Authority) has pointed out that this scheme will consist of a mandated minimum coverage, in the form of basic health plan, which will be different for UAE nationals, expats and visitors.
Only the “Participating Insurers” will be permitted to provide the mandated minimum health insurance coverage.
Under this new enactment the employer is required to provide direct cover (health insurance scheme) to all its employees except the employee’s dependants. But where an employee sponsors dependants then in that case, the employer has to include such dependants in the health insurance scheme. As per the law the employer cannot deduct the insurance cost from the salary of the employee.
By 1st January, 2014 all the payers (i.e. insurers, TPA’s (Third Party Administrators) or brokers) should have registered with or obtained a DHA permit in order to continue to deal with DHA registered health care providers. These groups are required to comply with DHA and UAE Authority Requirements in order to get the permit.
This new enactment of the Government is not publically available, but DHA (Dubai Health Authority) has said that it will soon be available on their website. This law was signed on 24th November, but it has yet not been published in the Official Gazette, as a result it will come into effect only after it has been published. The implementation plan is of two and a half years.
June 17, 2014 one of the landmark days in the UAE, as the Federal National Council of Abu Dhabi passed the Anti- horse doping draft law. It is one of the biggest moves to ensure doping free horse racing and promote health, fairness and equality for horses in UAE.
The draft law aims to ensure that all the international sport ethics and standards are met. The basic goal of the law is to ensure that all the people who engage in doping practices are held accountable.
Only the drugs that have been granted license for use by the Ministry of Environment and Water or authorities concerned to treat certain medical conditions are allowed. Otherwise, the law bans all the other drugs.
As per the draft law the violator will face a minimum fine of Dh20,000, but not more than Dh100,000. Repeat offences within three years will carry a fine of up to Dh500,000.
Action may also be taken by cancelling the license, prohibiting the offender from horse racing for a period of three years. Such an offending sports facility may also be forced to shut down, but not beyond the period of three years.
Such Draft law facilitates the reporting of any offence of doping, & prescribes of its precautions, & improving the control of animal feed of banned substances.
The executive rules, which will be issued within six months from the date the law takes effect, will list banned and controlled substances in horse racing.
The bill provides for the prohibition of any illegal practices by stables which inject their horses with banned steroids in order to improve their racing.
The President is yet to endorse the bill into law performance & the law will commence after its publication in the official gazette. | 2019-04-19T10:28:24Z | http://www.indiajuris.com/newsletter/24june2014-online.html |
A band of twelve members of the Middlesex County Association & London Diocesan Guild arranged by master Geraldine Forster successfully rang a special touch of 800 changes of Stedman Cinques at St Mary le Bow. Cheapside, on Saturday 14th November to celebrate the 800th anniversary of Lord Mayor’s Show Day. The details of the ringing and band were pre-prepared on a peal-type board, which added to the pressure of scoring on the day over the noise of the procession outside the church. In the event the touch was successfully rung twice for good measure!
