Diabetes Mellitus is an illness that affects more than 100,000 people in New Zealand. This study examined the variables which were thought to be most likely to impact on the quality of life of people with either Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) or Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM). Diabetes requires a high degree of self-management on a daily basis. The challenges for people with diabetes are to maintain a healthy level of blood glucose by carrying out adequate self-care behaviours. It was thought these may represent barriers to unrestricted quality of life, and the study investigated the degree to which cognitive-affective processes were diverted into self-care and illness appraisal. The two groups were studied to investigate which psychological factors would influence perceptions of wellbeing, and whether or not the psychological areas of significance were correlated with blood glucose levels (HbA1C), depicting good metabolic control. Using a questionnaire survey method, this study examined the psychological processes of 99 people with diabetes (36 IDDMs and 63 NIDDMs), assessing in particular, their self-efficacy, perception of risk, and psychological control, all considered to be factors that would be likely to affect their quality of life. Measures used included illness appraisal, wellbeing and self-efficacy scales, as well as a small qualitative section eliciting personal comments. The findings indicated a moderate level of self-efficacy and wellbeing across the sample which was adversely affected when they were compelled to take barriers to effective self-care into account. Risk perception was considered to be inadequate, especially when correlated with other factors, suggesting that self-efficacy was maintained by sidelining the risks or threats of diabetes. On the whole, the sample were particularly effective at maintaining adequate weight through diet, and a significant proportion were not taking any medication at all. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes were rare. Perception of control was another issue which appeared to be adequate for the sample, but it was found that people's perceived control was a more cogent variable than actual metabolic control (as measured by HbA1C assay). It was possible to infer stages of self-efficacy according to the manner in which people responded. Drawing on self-efficacy measures found to be effective in assessing populations with chronic conditions, it was found that there was some support for the notion that resistance self-efficacy and coping self-efficacy were the mechanisms at work for these people. Comments from respondents showed a desire for more information and better public awareness of diabetes, and offered some insight into the mechanisms by which people maintain an adequate quality of life despite chronic illness. | 2019-04-20T20:44:11 | https://mro.massey.ac.nz/handle/10179/6134 |

This month a new MD Explorer took to the skies again, operated by Cox Air Care – Air Methods.
This airframe with tailnumber N9201U has been operating with the United States Coast Guard as a part of their HITRON 10 program during 1999. In 2001 it has flown around the world. From 2002 untill 2005 it has been leased to the Dutch National Police. From 2005 untill 2015 the airframe has been stored. In 2015 it returned to MD helicopters in Mesa, Arizona.
After an extensive MD900 to MD902 upgrade program, including new Pratt & Whitney PW207E engines, the airframe was restored to flying condition on 29 September 2017 with tailnumber N902CH.
A truly remarkable airframe: MD Explorer 900-00042.
In October 2017, two former Yorkshire Air Ambulance MD Explorer airframes have been sold to Heli Delta BV, a Dutch company. The whereabouts of both airframes is currently unknown.
Several MD Explorers in Rendorseg livery have been reported operating from Staverton, Gloucester.
Most likely the Hungarian National Police has bought another batch of five pre-owned MD Explorer helicopters. They are former United Kingdom Police airframes. | 2019-04-22T20:30:48 | https://aeroboek.wordpress.com/tag/n9201u/ |
Throughout the country, scores of proud Texas A&M former students, through dedication to and enthusiasm for their alma mater, exemplify what it means to be an Aggie every day of their lives.
Johnson D. Strickel ’49 was an Aggie who definitely belonged in that category. The Beaumont native, fondly known as “Shady” to his countless friends, passed away in March 2007. Yet just a year and a half before he died, he arranged to bequeath $100,000 to the Texas A&M Foundation to establish two J. D. Strickel ’49 General Rudder Corps Scholarships.
The scholarship provides cadets with financial assistance for their education so they can fully benefit from their years in the Corps. A taxdeductible gift of $50,000 establishes an endowment that will fund the scholarship in perpetuity. Any company or individual can create an endowed Rudder scholarship, either in their name or in honor of another person, class or organization.
The Corps made a strong impression on Shady Strickel that would stay with him throughout his life. “He just loved being an Aggie and always said that if he could live that life again, he would have,” said his wife, Betty Strickel.
After his passing, she called the Corps to ask for six cadets to serve as pallbearers at his funeral. When 10 showed up to assist, Betty Strickel was reminded of the impact the Corps had on her husband—and vice versa.
“Shady just wanted to give back to the Corps so he could help it live on,” Betty Strickel recalls.
And give back he did—in so many ways. In addition to his generous gift for Texas A&M in his estate plan, Shady Strickel unselfishly donated his time and contributions to several clubs and organizations that support Texas A&M. | 2019-04-21T08:50:51 | https://www.txamfoundation.com/News/Shady-Shares-His-Spirit.aspx |

Gaza authorities shutter Al Arabiya and Maan offices in what critics call an illegal move.
Protesting what they called Hamas' "ongoing assault on journalists", Palestinian journalists held a sit-in near Ramallah last week to protest against the Hamas government's recent closure of two media offices in Gaza.
A week earlier, Hamas authorities in Gaza shut down two media offices used by Al Arabiya satellite channel and Maan News Agency, which they accused of "disseminating false news and publishing fabricated reports" about Hamas and its relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
On July 25, police officers arrived at the two media offices in Al-Rimal neighbourhood, west of Gaza City, and ordered their workers to leave immediately, saying they had an order issued by the attorney general to "temporarily" close the offices and seize their contents.
"Police detectives came to our office showing us an order issued by the attorney general to temporarily close our office, but they refused to give us a copy of the order," said Al Arabiya's Gaza office director, Islam Abd al-Kareem.
Hamas government spokesman Ehab el-Ghussein said the government had previously "warned against going too far in fabricating news, spreading rumours, and publishing entirely baseless reports about the government, which served to disseminate hatred and incitement against the Palestinian people in Gaza".
We're not biased, and in all cases this is Gaza's office, not Egypt's. If they tried to send a political message by closing our office in Gaza, it would be absolutely ludicrous.
But, he added, "the two media offices ignored the government's calls and kept on with their unethical and unprofessional behaviour and policies, as they deliberately tried to implicate the government as interfering in Egypt's ongoing internal conflict".
Hamas, which has been in control in Gaza since June 2007 and is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, has been repeatedly accused of interfering in internal Egyptian affairs.
Al Jazeera recently reported that deposed Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi has been arrested on a number of charges, the most significant of which is his alleged conspiracy with Hamas to carry out "anti-state acts" including attacks on police stations, soldiers and prisons.
Ghussein emphasised that the government's policy is to not interfere in other states' internal affairs. The media outlets, according to Ghussein, "falsely and deliberately" portrayed the Hamas government as interfering in Egypt, thereby provoking resentment against it.
Maan's editor-in-chief Nasser Al-Lahham criticised the decision to close the two offices, saying the move represents "a continuation of Hamas government's crackdown on journalists and press freedoms".
Since coming to power, Hamas has restricted press freedoms in the Gaza Strip. These include an ongoing ban on importing three local newspapers printed in the West Bank, and a ban on Palestinian journalists from working, giving interviews or cooperating with Israeli press and television. Hamas has repeatedly stated it will not lift the ban on the three allegedly pro-Fatah newspapers until the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah lifts a similar ban it has enforced on pro-Hamas newspapers in the West Bank.
Lahham said Hamas' media office has "consistently" interfered with Maan's work over the past years, especially since the July toppling of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. "Some Hamas officials in Gaza have apparently gone mad and started behaving irrationally after the recent events ended Morsi's and the Muslim Brotherhood's rule in Egypt," he commented.
Similarly, Al Arabiya's correspondent dismissed the government's claims of fabricating stories about the government and its relationship with Egypt as "unfounded".
On July 24, Maan News Agency published a news report citing an unnamed Israeli source and stating that "six Muslim Brotherhood officials had smuggled themselves into Gaza to plan an uprising against the military in Cairo, after their Egyptian president was deposed".
When this later proved to be spurious, Maan responded that the story was originally published by an Israeli news site - which it has not named - and that Maan merely translated the report from Hebrew to Arabic, as per its policy.
Although the government filed a complaint against Maan and Al Arabiya more than a month before this incident, Salama Marouf, the head of Hamas' media office, says the news report "was the straw that broke the camel's back".
Marouf explained that the closure order was issued based on "multiple pieces of damning evidence which the government supplied the attorney general with demonstrating unprofessional and unethical behaviour on their [the media outlets'] part.
"We found out their translation fabricated the original news report ... And they could have visited the Beach Hotel where they claim the Brotherhood officials were staying, and which is a few minutes away from their office, to factually confirm the news before they ran it on their site," he added.
Government officials Ghussein and Marouf failed to provide specific complaints about Al Arabiya's coverage, though they vaguely stated that the majority of Palestinians in Gaza were "offended" by the Saudi-owned channel's coverage.
Abd al-Kareem said he found it "ludicrous" to justify the closure of Al Arabiya's office by claiming it provides biased anti-Muslim Brotherhood coverage of the ongoing events in Egypt.
"We're not biased, and in all cases this is Gaza's office, not Egypt's. If they tried to send a political message by closing our office in Gaza, it would be absolutely ludicrous. And it would be telling that the order has come from a supposedly independent and unaffiliated party, i.e. the attorney general," he said.
Human rights groups in Gaza have condemned the office closures, saying the decision constituted a violation of press freedoms and freedom of expression, as well as of Palestinian basic law and international human rights standards.
Samir Zaqout of the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights asserted that "the closure procedures violate Palestinian Basic Amended Law of 2005, which denies any form of monitoring, ban or warning or the imposition of restrictions over the media unless by a judicial decision in conformity". | 2019-04-24T04:38:04 | https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2013/08/2013841318587276.html |
When it came to earning their Silver Award, which encourages scouts to complete a project that helps their community, Girl Scout Troop 51978 from Westmont, Illinois, decided to support bat conservation. They contacted Illinois Natural History Survey associate mammalogist Tara Hohoff, who coordinates the Illinois Bat Conservation Program and conducts bat surveys for the Urban Biotic Assessment program (UBAP).
Illinois’ 13 bat species fill an important role in our ecosystem. Because these bats are all insectivores, they help reduce the number of annoying mosquitoes and flies and also eat insects that can cause crop damage. A recent study from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale estimated that globally bats provide $1 billion of crop protection for corn alone.
Bats in Illinois are facing increasing challenges, from the deadly white-nose syndrome (a fungus that can kill bats as they hibernate) to wind turbines to fewer old, decaying trees that are suitable roosting places for bats.
With help from Hohoff, Girl Scouts Cali, Kylee, Lily, Rosemary, Charlotte, Erin, Jo-Dee, and Jadyn, and troop leaders Anne Oiler and Dawn Johnson, decided to build rocket-box style bat houses to provide roosting habitat for local bat populations. UBAP in conjunction with the Illinois Tollway contributed materials for the project, and the troop also held a garage sale to raise funds.
A rocket-box style bat house.
The scouts built seven bat boxes. Four will be installed in nearby towns and three will be used at a UBAP project site. The UBAP plans to continue working with the troop to monitor the bat boxes for occupancy over the next few years.
On Oct. 14, Hohoff attended the troop’s bridging ceremony to celebrate their Silver Award. Hohoff gave a presentation on bats, including why this is a critical time for bat conservation and how the troop’s contribution can help local bats. The troop participated in the Becoming a Junior Bat Biologist activity, which gave them a hands-on look at what it is like to catch bats (in this case, stuffed plush bats, not live ones) using mist nets. | 2019-04-25T01:49:52 | https://blogs.illinois.edu/view/7447/711115 |

Passive candidates are key to scaling your employee growth. Hiring these candidates is time and cost-efficient and provides excellent ROI on recuiting expenses. Traditionally, these prospects are higher-performing, better skilled, and more loyal than active candidates. While generally happy in their job and not actively looking for a new position, passive candidates are open to hearing about new opportunities that would help develop their career.
Employers who can swoop in and grab one of these top-contributing prospects before they consider switching jobs can save time and money while bringing a tried-and-true top performer into the mix.
This guide will help you solve your passive-candidate dillemma.
Companies that want to stay ahead of the war for talent need to develop solid hiring strategies that include the pursuit of passive candidates. Focusing on passive candidates exclusively is too limited of an approach, but ignoring them altogether is definitely a mistake.
While many employers recognize the value that passive candidates can bring to their organizations, leadership lacks real strategies for finding and securing members of this in-demand talent pool.
Thankfully, there's no shortage of information or tools to aid employers in their goal to find, engage, nurture, and ultimately hire passive candidates.

1/4 thick, 4x8sheet = 20 pounds, thin aluminium on both sides.Stronger than regular plywood.
If it doesn't say aircraft on it somewhere, it isn't legal in a certificated aircraft. Be careful you don't spend tons of time cutting and fitting something that your mechanic then has a fit about.
Boeing supposedly has some honeycomb material available surplus that is legal aircraft grade, that a friend of mine thinks might make good floorboards.
I`m posting in experimental and i `m building experimental, this product is not certified, but i think homebuilders should have a look at it.
Did you have to buy a 4x8 sheet? What is the thickness? Have you compared its weight to a normal Cub plywood floorboard?
Yes i had to buy a 4x8 x1/4 thick sheet,paid $ 132.00 cdn. I will use it to build my floorboard,bagage floor,rear seat bottom and back. My main concern was the weight and rigidity. If my memory is correct, ECONOLITE was 2/3 the weight of the plywood i was supposed to use ``without any protection on`` .Econolite doesn`t really need protection,it look like cardboard with a plastic core sandwich between to thin aluminium sheets ,it`s stronger than my plywood. i figure i can save 1.8 pounds on the floor alone.I found a 3x5 ins sample of the stuff in a RONA hardware store. If you are building exp. floorboard i think you should have a look at it before you buy plywood. After all that`s what exp. aircraft are all about.
If anyone is able to see the product,let me know what you think.
Keep in mind that honeycomb needs a bushing of some sort to carry the crush loads, wherever a through bolt is installed.
Looks like good stuff. Paintable too. I wonder where I could get a 3x5 sample in my area? Will have to research.
Well my research was less successful. I had a number of composite materials sent my way. In each case to get the same strength as the ply it was as heavy or heaver, except for the kevlar stuff. At 700 dollars a sheet, roughly 4 x 8, I decided the cost was not worth it at this time. I can always go back and replace the floorboards later if I find a product I am happy with. Sigh.
What is the weight difference between floors & baggage area made from Plywood, Aluminum, or Econolite????
I had it in my mind that Aluminum was lighter than wood, however I haven't done an apples-to-apples weight comparision. Anybody else?
If some has made this weight comparison, or has weights of Aluminum floor & baggage area, what thickness did you use on the front floor, rear floor, main baggage area, extended baggage area? Total weight?
Another consideration for my application, using Aluminum, is the ease of cleaning.
Weighed 1/4 marine plywood floor boards 7.6 lbs.
I was told that there is a very lightweight honeycomb material available from Boeing surplus as excess pieces for a nominal price. This stuff is supposedly very strong, and aircraft approved. Anyone know any more?
Nomex core Gillfab is used for cargo floors in Boeings and other cargo aircraft. Comes in different thicknesses and is very light. Made by McGill, if I remember correctly. Googling Gillfab will bring it up.
I have a design for a light weight floorboard using some techniques you guys have not yet thought about. Who wants to try one for their PA-18 project?
Gillfab 4809, developed for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner looks promising.
I know he has the brains to figure carbon, for instance, would be structured to have an upper skin seperated from a lower skin with foam, honeycomb, etc. This would be very much less in density than simply a hunk of solid carbon fiber thick enough to do the job of a floorboard.
Josh, why did you put just the density of each material? It makes plywood look like a champion on all counts, which it is not.
Also, anyone thinking marine plywood would be better or worse than some other type of plywood should think again. The 'plywood manufacturers association' has changed the spec on marine plywood and it now has a comparable 'void allowance' to most any AB sheet you'd go out to buy. For our application, more voids would be desirable, I just wanted to get out the bit of information about the loosening of the specs.
I wonder what a sheet of that stuff runs....?
Dave, what's your method of preventing crushing? I'm thinking in terms of a thinwall aluminum bushing topped by a stainless countersunk washer and bottomed with a fender washer or equivilent.
More info. I found a sheet of composite material at a reduced price. I replaced my cargo floors, forward and aft. Here are the weights.
Less than half the weight of plywood. Because it will not have the lateral forces applied to it from feet like the cockpit area floorboards I am not as concerned about wallowing out the attachment holes. You must use inserts as Crash mentioned if you use it where there will be stress and or movement. There are a lot of composites out there but many will exceed the weight of plywood. I don't find the weight in cubic feet to be very helpful so I have converted things to weight per sq foot for a given thickness.
There is enough sq feet in interior panels to save close to five pounds using .016 Vs .020. I have yet to find ANY composite that is lighter than .016 AL.
Your 1/4 inch composite needs to be .6 ppsf or less to make it worth the trouble. Plywood has a much higher modulas of elasticity so it will flex and return to shape without any permanent deformation. The composites will flex some but often they will go plastic and show permanent deformation at a lower stress level than plywood. Thus composite use on floors under the seats and or for the seat bottoms, (seatbacks may be OK) may not necessarily work out as you will need a really strong composite which may end up being heavier than the comparable plywood.
There are a lot of different types of materials, like Al, nomex, kevlar, fiberglass, etc. Each with different properties and weights. The stuff that is lighter than the ply is usually EXPENSIVE.
This is my upper baggage compartment using composites. Smithcub.
.023 thickness 48"x96" CARBON FIBER sheet 4.066lbs per sheet weight, a little expensive. This is what I am using for my side panels.
Took some time before work and then some more at lunch to see what my design would weigh.
Stock design came out at 3.04 pounds for the front floorboard.
My revised design came out at 1.976 pounds.
So with my method getting 30% of the weight out would not be too hard.
Im not sure if it is worth the extra hassle. The cost is about 3-4 times what a normal 2'x4'x1/4" piece of wood would cost.....just for ballpark.
Homemade composite floorboards are within the realm of any of us who are willing to mix epoxy accurately and follow a few instructions.
Making test pieces for destruction to compare to other materials choices takes the guessing out of what to use. Also, composites retailers (Plaschem Supply in Anch.) have competent persons willing to assist in design.
A foam core with fiberglass cloth or carbon fiber cloth applied to both sides with epoxy resin wetting the cloth can be built on your workbench.
After drilling the bolt/screw holes thru the material, the core material is 'gouged-out' in the area within, say, 5/16 inch radius of the hole centers without changing the size of the hole in the top and bottom skins. Then a 'Putty' of epoxy mixed with a thickener (a thixotropic agent such as cabosil) at a ratio providing a putty thickness like peanut butter is placed in each gouged-out hole. After curing, each hole is redrilled and localized crushing is impossible due to the putty.
This method is simple, does not require precision tools, and has the advantage that the 'hardened' (putty-reinforced area) is adhered to the structure of the floorboard.
I've seen a fabric interior and baggage floors and sides that appeared to work very well. I'm thinking a zip-in cordura interior would be nice, and provide easy access. And the stuff is pretty tuff. (trading weight for tuffness and tuffness for weight) everything is a compromise.
Dave, I've been using fabric upper baggage floors in J-3's for years. Works great. I run them back to just short of the trim jackscrew. Good for holding fishing poles and other such stuff.
Your stiffening technique works fine as well.
I've been thinking that a guy could get away with partial floorboards if he wanted to.
Floorboards in the area of the rear stick are needed so your passenger has a place to put a foot when they get in, and the pilot and passenger need a place to put their heels. Everything else is superfluous.
Stock floorboards don't keep stuff from falling down in the belly, so that's not a good reason to have a complete set.
If light weight is king why not eliminate most of the floorboards?
If you are taking the floorboards out you can take the brakes off!!
Will work like this Car's brakes..
discussing the 'sans-floorboard' Cub yesterday in the hangar, Fred's car brakes were mentioned.
Funny how ideas can be developed in parallel, without any communication.
Had a friend fly in yesterday in his Legend Cub with honeycomb floorboards. Seems he had to jab a brake to avoid a helicopter at his home airport and pulled the two bolt brake pedal mount doubler right through the floorboard. This part looks identical to the stock Piper part. Needs more area to distribute the load. Seen this on plenty of 30-40 year old wood floorboards. Easy fix was a large stainless steel plate. Just something to consider.
Steve, the lightest way ive seen to stregthen that up is to ad a tab on top the floorboards that goes from the brake pedal attach clamp bolt up to the rudder attach clamp bolt. I did that in mine but i have plywood, but it transfers the load right to the frame. I think i could break the back pedal off before the front would ever wiggle. On something lighter than plywood it probably wouldnt hurt to put a little wider washer underneath on the brake brace channel bolts also with the tabs. Spread the load some? The brackets can be made for under 25 cents.
How does a (new to planes guy) like me know what types of floor board / side board materials can be used in certified cubs?
444LZ give Phil, Steve or Jim a call at CAC Plastics.. they have light (certified) honeycomb material that is paint-able. For re-enforcement of bolt holes they simply cut the hole large, plug with resin and re-drill to size. They are just waiting to get some more orders to save on freight.
Several weights and thickness but 1/4" two ply (HD) is 8 OZ/Sq Ft and tough!
Use what Piper used, 3/8" plywood and aluminum. Tried and true in certified.
Ha, yes Mike 1/4". I think some sort of composite iver the honeycomb would help, something beside the stock attach plates to spread out the loads.
I used very stiff 6mm (1/4 in) 12 ply all Birch plywood from B&D International Inc. in Tacoma, WA. It is imported from Finland. Weight stated by the supplier is 0.92 lb/ft sq. After one spray of Epoxy Varnish I weighed a sheet at 0.98 lb/ft sq.
I don't see the purpose of putting floor boards under the front seat and so on... When I drop something small in my Cub it usually falls in the fabric belly anyway. Would make cleaning easier.
A lot of warbirds only have a strip of aluminum as wide as a human foot under and aft of the rudder pedal. Just something to rest your foot on. Just bend some corrugation strips in it to stiffen.
I am currently working on getting a honeycomb carbon fiber material for the floorboards and baggage. You can save 8 to 10 pounds by using this stuff. It is quite difficult to get. Everyone advertises one thing and delivers another. 8 week lead time is the norm. And they usually have minimum orders that make it impractical for individuals. They also do not want to talk to you unless your name is Boeing, Gulfstream, or Airbus Industries. If and when I get all this sorted out Javron will be carrying it and selling it. If you are interested give him a call as he does not have any feel for what the demand will be.
I've used Boeing's alum honeycomb for other purposes but not on my Cub. I remember a story about flight attendants spike heels denting the stuff, whereas a fully outfitted marine did not. And as others have pointed out it needs reinforcing inserts where bolts and other hardware might be located. Different cell sizes and thicker top skins might solve some of these problems, but custom production is expensive. Which probably makes other materials (Gillfab) worth looking at.
The place where I get some of my guitar-making stuff has DuPont Nomex in 16" x 22" pieces; 1/4 x .080", 1/8 x .080" and 1/8 x .060. Some folks are using it for soundboards on guitars. Boeing uses the stuff, so I'll assume it's approved materials. I'm willing to bet it doesn't burn as well as aircraft plywood does. It will need some layers of carbon fiber or fiberglass cloth, or both, and the appropriate resin. It's probably not hard to find videos or other media articles dealing with construction techniques.
I'm sure there are other places to get it, bigger sheets, etc.
I know I should lose about two complete floorboards.
I have a board with Nomex core on it. It´s about 5x5" so it´s hard to judge how it flexes but it is really solid.
Here is the source (http://www.nauticexpo.com/prod/bellotti-spa/sandwich-panels-plywood-honeycomb-30295-197074.html) for it.
And you will note that to get more info on this product you have to fill out an info sheet and they will contact you. Finding and procuring this type of stuff is a PAIN. I have invested more hours on this one topic (and part) than any other part of the ENTIRE airplane. It works and it saves weight but you would think you were buying a nuclear reactor to get the stuff. So to help others, once I get this stuff sourced, I will make sure it is EASILY available to others. Probably through Javron, as I am not a cub kit manufacturer.
Has anyone tried making their own from a veneer (your choice of material) with a balsa wood core? Be sure to place a crush resistant material where all fasteners pass through. Or, how about the process that some of the plastic homebuilts use for primary structure with a foam core. I have seen samples of this which was cut out of a Glassair (like a window hole). Really tuff stuff.
Anybody ever try end grain balsa core? Kind of old school in todays composite market but it is really easy to work with. I have used it in boat decks... easy to work with simple to reinforce point load areas, lay glass over (vacuum bag if you like).
The issue with foam and or balsa core is that it is relatively easy to get it as heavy as plywood. The lightest core material is the nomex core 1/8 inch hex cell. The light plywood weighs .85 ppsf and a good honeycomb material will be .45ppsf or less, thus half the weight of plywood.
Small business located in Minneapolis. Usually keeps it all in stock and also carries vacuum bagging supplies. Ask for Jim.
To provide a "block" in the honeycomb for a fastener, drill a small hole in one face and chuck a small allen wrench in a drill, push the top (short leg) through the hole and spin it. Fill the cavity with an epoxy/microballoon or colloidal silica mix and let it set.
A possible plywood to use would be Lite Ply which is an Italian poplar. Very light weight but not too stiff or rot resistant. The 6mm is 5 ply. Next lightest is Occoume , then Meranti and Khaya or Sapele all in marine grades, 6mm 5 ply. GLII birch 6mm is usually 12 ply and would be about the same weight as the Sapele and also very stiff.
Wow, it's been a while since I was at their site. Probably hired a marketing intern or something :) (I hope I don't offend anyone!:P) but if you click on the X of the pop-up, then you get to the right window. I forgot it was all in Italian!
54205421I make a floor board laminate from the top side (finish side ) down, acrylic gel-coat on the top side, 5.8 OZ E glass, 5.8 OZ carbon,5mm PVC 4# density, 5.8 OZ carbon all layed up with a class I fire retardant vinalester resin. Comes out right at 8 OZ a square foot any color you want. I have had them installed in my cub since "98" approx. 900 flight time and still look great. I have not been able to find anything lighter that is finished and this finish is tough. I saved just over 4# on my cub with the two front boards rear seat bottom and standard baggage floor. I am just getting ready to send out samples for a burn test!
It certainly does make it easier to retrieve dropped hardware. Not to mention control inspections and lubrication. But I'm always paranoid I'm going to put a foot through the fabric, or bend a control rod getting in an out.
I made carbon fiber floorboards with 1/32 plywood center and carbon fiber cloth on both sides using epoxy and a vacuum bag with peelply and absorbent pad. I radiused the corner for increased stiffness and an attach area for the side panels. The surface comes out with a tough finish, is waterproof, and weighed less than .032 aluminum. It was a fun process to learn. Pictures are in my photos but I can't seem to upload them to here.
If one was able to get some "FAA approved" Boeing floor board or cargo bay scraps, is there an advisory circular that would allow for a legal install in a certified cub?
Sounds like a 'minor' mod to me - - I used some surplus honeycomb for rear seat base and back, with no paperwork and no disagreement from my IA.
I've heard it's been field approved before.
I have been working on floorboards for my experimental PA14 made with Carbon fiber-end grain balsa-carbon fiber construction. I placed 1/4 inch plywood in the balsa in desired locations before processing in the vacuum bag to provide crush resistance in the area of bolts. I used West System epoxy, peel ply, and absorbent pad to absorb the extra resin and decrease weight. The end result was better than expected. The structure is very stiff, waterproof, well sealed, and light weight. The weight turned out to be 0.53 pounds per square foot which is 56% the weight of 1/4" plywood alone and also less than .040 aluminum. Besides it is kind of fun to do. Almost magic.
Looks good, mind saying what that total job is going to run.
Just a few places for balsa core material (and others). Express Composites is in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area if you make it into the Cities frequently.
I finished the floor board set for the PA14 replica. They are made in three sections because of angulations to the floor and convenience for installation and removal as needed. They are a total of 88"long and 29" wide. They have a turned up lip on the edge to help with side wall anchorage and stiffness. They are 1/4" thick endgrain balsa as I previously described. There are 3 layers of carbon fiber cloth bonded together with West System Epoxy. Total weight is 11.1 lbs and 17.72 square feet for a total of .626 lbs/sq ft. finished on both sides. They are very stiff. I included plywood on the ends and in the middle where needed for anchorage points. Joewoodworker.com was a helpful site to learn how to do this process.
Total weight is 11.1 lbs and 17.72 square feet for a total of .626 lbs/sq ft.
pretty, but did that work out how you hoped??? weight and cost wise???
Yes, I am pleased. The rear section came in between .032 and .040. The forward section was heavier because of the reinforcements for the rudder pedals and the control blocks. The angled sides also added a slight amount of weight but should give a nice surface for the Kydex to snuggle up to. When all is said and done it is lighter than plywood and should be more durable. Is it cost effective and time efficient to do? No, but it was fun and educational.
Well done Jim, I expect that the sound dampening qualities will out weigh the small weight penalty.
Very nice. CF is something I would like to lurn.
Jim, Way cool. Thanks for the post, something I want to play with now. | 2019-04-19T02:57:21 | http://www.supercub.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-24950.html?s=9fd6800798d3b0682265664f4e07f933 |
Over the years, many companies have attempted to recapture the sonic essence of loudspeakers manufactured and installed in musical amplifiers during the 50s and 60s. Most noteable of the vintage speaker manufacturers were Celestion in the UK and Jensen in the USA. Others included Utah, CTS, JBL, Oxford, and EV.
In 1996, in an effort to gain a better understanding of that classic sound, we undertook a project to study every aspect of the vintage loudspeaker. We studied such issues as Ceramic versus AlNiCo magnets, cone types, basket styles and cutouts, paints, terminal connections, cone, spider, voice coil and dustcap materials, manufacturing and assembly techniques and glue. Our research concluded that the only way we could satisfy ourselves and those who provided us with critical feedback from listening tests was to emulate the vintage style speakers in every way, both electrically and mechanically. At first glance this would seem rather obvious, since a loudspeaker is a complex electromechanical device. However, it wasn't until we built our vintage style speakers with precision machined magnetic circuit components, hotdog slotted baskets®, etc., that we were able to convince ourselves. In addition to several models of vintage style speakers from 8 to 15 inch available with either AlNiCo or Ceramic magnets, we are introducing several 'original design' models. These include a series of high power drivers, an exclusive magnet structure available on some of our speakers which includes both ceramic and AlNiCo magnets, a line of potentiometers, chasses, and other products for the vintage equipment enthusiast. Additionally, we have developed a line of lower priced speakers for those on a budget. We are continually developing new products in addition to vintage style speakers that are meant for the vintage guitar amplifier market.
Needless to say, rediscovering the vintage tone has been very exciting for us. Accordingly, we are delighted to introduce, in this year 1996, our series of vintage style and 'original design' loudspeakers and we welcome your comments on our entire line of products.

A month ago, me and other members of the local tech media went to China to visit Huawei and know more about about the Chinese tech giant.
We went to their research facilities and campuses (offices) in Shanghai and Shenzhen.
At night, both of those places are two of the most picturesque cities in China.
The primary camera I used for that trip is my trusty Huawei P20 Pro, the first smartphone with a triple Leica camera setup.
So, without further ado, here are some of our lowlight shots!
Note: If you want to download the actual images I took, check this link now.
The result? Still crazy GOOD for a smartphone! Most of the shots we got has plenty of details and accurate exposure. It has a bit of oversharpening. But, the overall lowlight photo quality (especially the dynamic range) is better than any smartphone we tested yet.
The handheld auto long exposure is amazing and game-changing.
In case you missed our review, it has a 40MP f/1.8 RGB sensor + 20MP f/1.6 monochrome sensor + 8MP f/2.4 OIS telephoto sensor.
It also has 4D predictive focus, AIS, 5x zoom, and dual tone LED flash for photography.
Normally, you will need a tripod, gorilla pod, or a phone/camera stand before you can take long exposure shots.
But with AIS (Artificial Image Stabilization), the AI-assisted tech by Huawei, you can take images with no blur even without a tripod for up to 6 seconds long.
The above-mentioned camera specs and features are the reasons why we are confident that the P20 Pro can deliver nice lowlight shots.
In case you are eyeing to own a P20 Pro, it is now PHP 4,000 pesos more affordable.
From PHP 44,990, it is now priced at just PHP 40,990 only. | 2019-04-26T16:15:01 | https://www.gizguide.com/2018/08/huawei-p20-pro-no-tripod-challenge-china.html |

To hedge compressed rental rates, Indian crane companies are progressively working to have extended availability of their existing cranes. To have extended utilization of the equipment, the rental companies are increasingly resorting to suitable maintenance and equipment rehabilitation practices. With well maintained cranes, backed by quality repairs, the rental firms are looking forward to have better hiring rates, without going in for fresh capital investments for new equipment acquisition. This is because the rental firms estimate, quantum of rental rates across the lifecycle of the new equipment will be lesser as of now to fill up the financial liability incurred.
The other reasons for growing investments towards better maintenance practices for optimum equipment usage is also due to depressed resale value market. Although there has been some recent movements in the resale markets, with some prominent companies across the country graduating towards higher capacity mobile and crawler units for improved rates. However, the market is waiting for necessary action.
While crane owners preferring to invest for maintaining the equipment and wait for the resale market to pick up, that is when they feel it will be commercially viable to dispose off the older units. However, the bigger logic for holding back units and maintaining them well is also due to the fact that many rental companies as of now are not looking for long-term contracts with the hirers. This is despite the fact that there have been recent improvements in the rental rates in the medium and higher categories owing to fresh hiring.
Till the rates appreciate to a reasonable extent, big players prefer to hold back their new units. They are waiting for an opportune moment, when bulk of the existing lower and medium class units from new and smaller entrants will get absorbed in the newer jobs on long-term contracts spanning over three years and above.
Mumbai based small time crane rental agency, Cosmos Lifters & Technical Services Pvt Ltd., will continue to hold back its existing cranes. "Our fleet mainly comprises 15 to 20 years old mobile tyre mounted units between 25-100 tons. We are undertaking preventive maintenance of the units in a major way with our own mechanics. Further, we are always looking for timely replacement of parts for better equipment availability and timely return of rental rates," says, Mr. S.Q. Shafique, Director Cosmos Lifters adding that "We do not have any plans to dispose any of our existing units."
Focus on timely repairs is also by Mumbai based crane rental heavy weight, Steel Carriers which posses a fleet of 18 truck mounted telescopic mobile cranes of 50-500 tons, 12 lattice truck mounted cranes of 25-125 tons and 1 crawler crane of 400 tons. The company has placed an order of new Terex, 700 tons mobile cranes which is likely to be delivered early 2016. Having a relatively new fleet, Steel Carriers claim of following an elaborate maintenance practice to prevent any possible breakdown of equipment and safe working. "In case of an accident at sites, we always undertake third party analysis to know the reason. This is so as to have better preventive and predictive maintenance and better operational standards. We regularly compile breakdown reports for our cranes to have better preventive maintenance. To prevent any operational hazards, we regularly train our operators with the OEMs. Operators and field technicians are trained for undertaking appropriate rigging, engine performance and most importantly right ground pressure," says Mr. Sunil Makad, Director, Steel Carriers Infrastructure Pvt Ltd.
He mentions, "Contractors usually emphasize of maximum utilization of cranes for timely completion of jobs. This leaves lesser period for maintenance during every month making the cranes prone to breakdowns. However, we regularly follow schedule maintenance practices."
Gujarat based crane rental heavy weight, Express Logistics has dedicated workshop for maintenance of its fleet of mobile and crawler cranes. Mr. Ashwin Gandhi, Director Express Equipment Rental Logistics says, "Our dedicated workshop in Vadodara is supported by our own trained mechanics working under the supervision of our engineers. The workshop is fully equipped with lead machines, milling and CNC machines for undertaking repairs of components. Booms being the most critical component, special attentions are given for their maintenance. We outsource the job to specialized boom repairing agency in Mumbai having complete set of jigs and fixtures for appropriate welding according to the specification of the OEMs."
He adds, "We regularly replace the oil, hydraulic oil seals and the filters as they are much prone to damage while the crane is working in high temperatures. For operation safety, we mandatorily test and inspect the crane prior to its deployment at site. To have safe working, we usually de rate the capacity of cranes by 10%."
New Delhi based crane renting major, Apollo Cranes Private Limited, has its complete workshop set up in Delhi for undertaking maintenance of its cranes. "We undertake regular scheduled maintenance of engines, transmission and valves at our workshops. To have better equipment availability, we have carried out advancements in the procedures of collecting breakdown reports for our cranes, so as to have advanced and comprehensive maintenance techniques. We have made data collection on the performance of the cranes more elaborate," says Ms. Sonarika Mahajan, Director Apollo Cranes.
She says, "We have regular visits of our engineers at sites where our cranes are working, to see the operation and onsite procedures being followed. To avoid breakdown, we stock critical components at the job sites."
According to her, "Upkeep of the cranes depends on skilled operators. With advancements taking place in technology, it is pertinent that OEMs should step up operators training and maintenance. There has been a new initiative on behalf of Sany Heavy Industries to train and certify operators and helpers at its new training facility in Pune. Taking on the opportunity, we have sent couple of our senior operation personnel and operators to attend the workshops. The training is well likely to skill our personnel for better maintenance of our cranes."Apollo has sizeable numbers of medium capacities of Sany crawler cranes.
Increased adoption of maintenance of existing units by crane rental firms is owing to optimum asset utilization. The practice is also being driven by growing insistence of construction firms for maintaining proper safety at the job sites. The trend is quite positive development for the crane renting and user industry as this will result towards bringing more advanced maintenance practices, resultantly ensuring increased equipment availability and safety, to cut down on project deadlines being extended. | 2019-04-20T05:00:35 | https://www.nbmcw.com/report/cranes-material-handling-equipment/33997-crane-rental-companies-go-for-optimum-asset-utilization.html |

Finished working for the week!!
Submitted my three jobs for UI benefits. So, that’s $330 per hour. That is my wage: 330/hr. But they only let me have one hour per week. Lamesauce.
The company should arrive soon — within a couple hours. This house is ramping up for them.
…I just soaked beans that I think they wanna cook tonight and now I’m suddenly famished. I want to fast, though it would be extremely difficult with company. They will likely be constantly snacking — it is Thanksgiving week after all. Thought they may not as I believe diets go all-around here except for Mom and Dad. But their diet is still to eat a lot — just more natural food.
…however, I’m craving one those LaraBars, the junkier food. Yet I really want some curry. And that is difficult in this household. It will be only me eating the curry.
Did a headstand and a few pull-ups on the dogwood tree. The same tree that skinned my foot a bit last night. Lightly-skinned: to redness with slight scratching. My foot skidded down when trying to climb and felt like the skin was sanded off by rough paper. No doctoring required. All is well.
…I still feel the initial sting, yet no evidence of scrape. I merely have the memory. Like watching a roller coaster on television and the watcher gets sweaty feet while sitting on a couch in a cold room. The sensation arises as if the event is actually happening in that instant.
I’m gonna go drink some agua and go do more pull-ups and very likely be halted by a nephew to throw a ball on the roof.

Rohru would provide something unique to all those who love to feel the imperceptible mix of fable and reality. Its lovely temples with imposing designs, fishing and trekking routes, towering mountain peaks, picturesque environs, dense woods and fleet of streams are indeed a marvellous sceneries that one should experience at least once in a lifetime.
Rohru, located on the banks of River Pabbar, is the treasures of valuable fish fauna. This region is renowned for trout fishing. It is considered as the paradise of anglers. Both brown and rainbow trout are found in the upstream of Rohru in the Pabbar valley.
There are several spots for fishing in and around Rohru. These spots includes Sandasu, Tikri,Seema, Mandil, and Dhamvari. Apart from trout, other varieties of fish including Mahaseer are also seen in this place. A nearby place Chirgaon has the trout hatchery.
Shikhru Devta Temple is a locally revered temple located at the heart of the Rohru town. The temple is dedicated to Shikhru Devta, a local Goddess held at high reverence. The location is the place where a famous annual fair is conducted. The fair attracts thousands during the month of April every year. The local populace believe that the Devta has wonderful devotional powers.
Shikhru Devta Temple itself is located at an eye catching natural setting. The beautiful views surrounding valley and the aesthetic environment of the temple are very attractive for the pilgrims and the tourists visiting Rohru. The temple opens every days for worship.
Majestic mountains, splashing streams, natural beauty of shimmering lakes and breathtaking landscapes, Pabbar valley is a paradise of travellers. This valley is known for the dynamic and adventurous tourist activities. The amazing opportunities of trekking like Kuper Valley Trek and Chanshal Trek in Pabbar valley are praise worthy.
Chirgaon Famous for trout fishing, Chirgaon village lies in Rohru taluk of Shimla District and the town of Rohru is 15 km northeast. Some of the great spots for fishing in the area are Seema, Mandil, Sandhsu, Tikri and Dhamari. Larot, nearby, is a base for trekking to Dodra kwar, Bapsa Valley ( Sangla), and the Pabber Valley.
180 kilometres from Shimla, links Dodra Kwar and Chirgaon (Rohru) in the Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh, India. The pass sits atop the Chanshal Peak, which at 4520 meters (slightly higher than Rohtang Pass, Manali) is the highest peak in the Shimla district. The pass remains open from May to October and is covered with snow for the rest of the year.
To be in the midst of this splendid surroundings one would be dare enough to take the risk of a serious treks. Though the trekking path is very difficult, it is quite rewarding and most of the tourists would embark a trek to enjoy this stunning extravaganza of nature.One can find snow around the year here.
Some 105-km east of Shimla , in Jubbal Tehsil on the banks of the river Pabbar, lays the mysterious valley of stone temples Hatkoti. Close by stands a small village by the name of Parhaat. At Hatkoti, two other small mountain streams Bishkulti and Raanvti join the Pabbar. The color of the Bishkulti or vish-khalti water is somewhat grayish and the local belief says that the stream oozes out poison. With the convergence of the three water streams, according to the Hindu mythology makes Hatkoti a place fit to be a pilgrimage. Himachal itself, though studded with temples, has a very special reverence for Hatkoti, the abode of Goddess Mahishasurmardini an incarnation of Durga. | 2019-04-26T06:57:02 | https://gpgcseema.edu.in/about_rohroo.php |

Just the beginning of peer-to-peer connecting - what's next?
It's been great to see a flowering of facilitated peer-to-peer connecting. Organizations and their leadership are really seeing the power of one-on-one conversations to build culture.
Most people would like to have more social contact than they do. Most peoples' work can be enriched by thoughtful connecting. Simply facilitating 1:1 conversations can reduce isolation and fragmentation, build empathy and understanding, and help ideas and creativity flow.
Random Coffees. People in an organization who opt in get randomly paired up with someone they don't know to have coffee together. I first found out about these through Ryan Holmes' piece, which links to lots of fun similar initiatives.
S'Ups. Ilya Kavalerov built this app that generates fresh random triads every week, bringing people from different parts of the organization together for a 20 minute "standing meeting" that sparks fresh connections and builds community.
The People Walker. A guy in Hollywood offers his services to go on walks with people, helping them enjoy movement and social contact. It's grown quickly - now there are People Walkers all over LA!
Now, I see these as the start of something bigger and deeper. What if pairing (or trio-ing) people up is only the beginning? My experiences with authentic relating, nonviolent communication, and, yes, Argentine tango show me the incredibly co-creative potential that people in pairs can access, if they have the right structure and facilitation.
In the next few articles, I'll share how we can tap this potential more fully in an organizational context. | 2019-04-25T18:46:15 | https://www.mitramartin.com/blog-content/2018/6/19/just-the-beginning-of-peer-to-peer-connecting-whats-next |

Being a mom always on the go with a 16 year old who runs track in field, I'm always at different stadiums with him. When I'm at work on location, there are not always pretty & clean bathrooms when working outdoors. When I heard about Cottonelle's Fresh Care flushable cleansing cloths, I felt like they made these just for me, lol. Now I don't leave my home without a pack in my purse and in my travel makeup kit.
What I like about the cloths is that they break up after flushing and are safe for the sewer and septic tanks. The cloths are enriched with aloe and vitamin e, plus they soothe irritated skin. My son luvs them & so do I.

The recently discovered two-dimensional topological insulators (TI) with time-reversal symmetry are closely related to integer quantum Hall states in which electron spin plays the role of charge. The appearance of protected edge states in these systems can be understood by describing the spin-orbit coupling as the source of an SU(2) (spin-dependent) magnetic flux. However, the absence of spin conservation cripples the quantum spin-Hall effect. In this talk we will explore the possibility of obtaining strongly correlated TIs with fractional quasiparticles. Such states are the SU(2) analogues of fractional quantum Hall states, but with modified topological orders due to the spin non-conservation. We will discuss two heterostructure designs featuring a ``conventional'' TI quantum well that could host a fractional TI state of Cooper pairs or excitons. These devices exploit a quantum critical point for electron localization to provide a fragile spectrum that can be dramatically reshaped by the strong spin-orbit coupling. Then, we will present a topological spinor-field theory of fractional TIs and explain how the spin-orbit coupling can produce a combined charge and spin fractionalization despite the spin non-conservation. | 2019-04-26T01:44:27 | http://meetings.aps.org/Meeting/MAR12/Session/W37.7 |

If your dental pain is a sharp pain caused from hot or cold food or beverages, this could simply be a result of recent fillings …as your enamel will have been slightly altered in the process of receiving your filling.
Also, if you are experiencing high-levels of stress, you might be clenching or grinding your teeth at night unknowingly. This can also ware on your enamel and cause pain and sensitivity to hot and cold.
If the pain persists get it checked, but in the meantime – try a toothpaste for sensitive teeth as this can reduce the issue greatly.
Although not an immediate “need for concern”, a chipped tooth can be unsightly, therefore most people want it addressed ASAP. Left untreated, a chipped tooth can also lead to decay due to a loss of enamel -once again- and your tooth being increasingly exposed.
Same can be said for a filling that has come out, or a crown that has come dislodged. Although rare, it can happen if perhaps your crown wasn’t put on correctly.
Even in minor cases, the quicker you can see your dental professional, the more likely your tooth is to be repaired quickly and easily.
If you have inured your mouth in any way …including your gums or teeth, this needs to be addresses. When it comes to the mouth, bacteria can be a culprit you don’t want to ignore, and infection can quickly be a concern. There are both blood vessels and nerves that sit very closely to the surface of your inner mouth, so even small cuts can result in infections and should be looked at.
Infections in the mouth, left untreated, can spread to the head and neck and quickly become a true emergency beyond what your dental professional will be able to address, and a trip to the emergency room will be required.
At Cornerstone Dental, regardless of which emergency category you feel you fall under, we want to ensure your comfort level at all times. So please feel free to call or stop by any time for a consultation! | 2019-04-22T09:57:43 | http://www.cornerstonedentalcentre.com/blog/what-is-a-dental-emergency/ |

If you need work around the house, hire him you must!
LET’S FINISH YOUR TO-DO LIST TODAY!
Say Goodbye to Your To-Do List!
Homeowners in our greater Denver community tell us this all the time – hiring someone to take care of home projects is usually a real struggle.
Will they show up on time?
Will they complete the project on schedule?
Will they respect your home and your property?
Will they clean up after themselves?
Will they take pride in the work and provide quality?
Of course, our sterling reputation for punctuality, honesty, and quality work means you don’t even have to ask them in the first place. In fact, we are so confident in your ultimate satisfaction that we guarantee our services!
We can offer this guarantee because we understand that a key element in your satisfaction is making sure you know exactly what to expect – and, to that end, we start your project by walking through it together.
As we do, you can feel free to ask questions you have at any point while we carefully explain what the project will entail. And once our walk-through is done, you are provided with a timeline and pricing estimate before work begins.
The CEO/Owner of our company is Kevin Hibma, who brings an extensive background in construction, engineering, and electrical work (as a Certified Master Electrician) to every job. Kevin’s vast experience in these fields has ingrained a deep understanding of the need for performing quality work and how important it is to build trust with every customer.
Kevin is also part-owner of CP Solutions—a digital marketing agency—with his wife, Lori. Together, they have a demonstrated history of providing quality and trust in their multiple businesses by simply doing what they say they will do and doing it when they say they will.
Best Denver Handyman Services is based on the foundation of customer trust – and Kevin wouldn’t have it any other way!
Kevin was great to work with. I would trust him with any project in my home. His communication was prompt, he returned my inquiry the following day, and we had a plan to work on my project the same week. He arrived on time and treated my home (and my pets) like his own. He kept me posted on the work, questions he had on the end result. There wasn’t a time that I was hesitant or concerned. He wrapped up the project within the time frame he quoted and the price matched the quote and was very reasonable. I will definitely want to work with him again and would highly recommend him. Thank you again for the quick help and amazing craftsmanship.
When we do, we keep your budget in consideration to find the right combination of quality and value for you.
Major projects are quoted and scheduled based on the scope and requirements presented. Any work performed that is not part of any quoted project will be billed at the rates listed here on our website, unless other arrangements have been made.
All work is done with safety in mind. If you have requests that do not fit within safe working conditions, we will let you know what it will take for us to maintain everyone’s safety.

“The theme for all our Business Outlook forums this year has been basically the same—a focus on stimulating economic growth after what seemed to be an entrenched recession, which slowed or put growth on hold in a number of areas,” said Ms Joan Albury, President of TCL Group and chief organiser of the Business Outlook Series.
Joining Mr Christie on the podium will be Eleuthera Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Sands, Jr, who will update the audience on the developments in Eleuthera since the last Business Outlook.
“We are fortunate to have the support of the Eleuthera Chamber of Commerce again this year and its dynamic president, Thomas Sands, who has a finger on the pulse of business and society on the island, especially in the south. This is a partnership we hold in high regard because it is so necessary to create the kind of cooperate efforts that will continue to energise the Eleuthera economy. It was, in fact, Mr Sands who invited TCL to bring the forum to his home island. He saw the value of the Business Outlook programme in pulling together the right players from key sectors to share the necessary information to drive things forward,” said Mrs Albury.
Completing the slate of speakers for the 2014 Eleuthera Business Outlook are: Christel Sands Feaste, partner, Higgs and Johnson, attorneys-at-law; Scott Gorsline, VP operations, Cape Eleuthera Resort and Marina; James Malcolm, VP and managing director, Sand Piper Inn and Destination Schooner Bay Ltd; Juan Pulido, project manager at Cotton Bay Holding Ltd; Angela Cleare, founder, ABC Tours and Consulting Co; Christopher Maxey, founder and director, Cape Eleuthera Island School; Arinthia Komolafe, managing director, the Bahamas Development Bank, and Edrin Symonette, farmer and entrepreneur.
So instead of managing the country, he is just going around talking crap.

What are the most significant trends driving gaming in Québec?
As for many—if not all— jurisdictions in North America, the most significant trends driving the gaming industry in Québec are related to demographics. Young adults don’t play as much as previous generations used to, and their playing habits won’t change unless they are offered games created specifically for them (rather than their parents or grandparents). This is where our venture into online gaming comes into play. The need to attract young adults is even more critical when you look at the conclusions of longitudinal tracking studies, which show that each generation plays less once it reaches the age of 65. Baby boomers, who account for the biggest share of our gaming revenues (for both lotteries and casinos), are starting to reach that age.
Québec has made some significant steps toward iGaming. How has this impacted the industry, and how do you see it evolving?
Our venture into online gaming is relatively new. It started in December 2010 with the best-known casino games, such as poker, blackjack and roulette, and slot machine-type games. In the spring of 2012, sports lotteries were added to the offer, followed in August by our most popular lotteries (Lotto Max, Lotto 6/49, etc). Online bingo will also join the mix eventually.
To some extent, we are still at phase one of this new initiative. So far, our online portfolio basically consists of a string of products that players are already familiar with. The mid-term goal, however, is not to replicate what is readily available in our lottery distribution or in our casinos, but rather to make a creative use of the internet to appeal to a new generation of players with original games that will offer a social, interactive, or competitive component.
Where else do you see the greatest opportunities for growth for Loto- Québec?
New technologies also have a great potential for our brick and mortar lottery network, and this is true for every line of business Loto-Québec manages. The launch of 'flash games' featured on the customer screen when someone buys a Lotto Poker or Sprinto ticket is a good example, as well as the group play feature available at retailers, in which every member gets its own ticket which can be redeemed any time he pleases. Furthermore, our 1,800 Loto-Express units are a wireless solution that allows the customer to buy lotteries at the lane of their choice in multi-lane stores.
Furthermore, the video lottery subsidiary will replace current machines—and the telecommunications central—between March and August 2013. Produced by IGT and Spielo, these VLTs will offer fine and entertaining games while reminding customers to play responsibly at all times.
Casino de Montréal is currently undergoing a renovation. What can players expect?
An enchanting overall entertainment experience including a topflight mix of games in much improved facilities, meaning more room between slot machines, refurbished quarters for high rollers, and a spectacular multimedia environment. It will also include four top-notch restaurants located on the same floor, which will accommodate customers quicker; a unique entrance leading the way to an impressive hub; great customer service, which has been the trademark of our casinos; and a multi-faceted cabaret for all kinds of shows and events.
Are there unique challenges and/or advantages to delivering charitable gaming in Québec? How are these being addressed?
One of the main challenges is to provide non-profit organizations with much-needed funding for their good causes. Since bingo is the game of choice for NPOs, Loto-Québec has been involved in two ways: Since 1997 with network bingo, a twice-a-day 20-minute game played in dozens of bingo halls across the province; and with Kinzo, a quick game (3 minutes) available throughout the day in a dozen different halls. Loto-Québec’s involvement in these games has translated into a $135 million payment to NPOs over the past 15 years. The Kinzo program, launched two years ago, holds promise as it appeals to a younger clientele and also allows people to eat and drink in a pleasant atmosphere. We will open more Kinzo halls in the coming year.
What’s next for gaming in Québec?
Throughout its 42-year existence, Loto-Québec has benefitted in several ways from innovation, and we think its importance will be even greater in the future. Our industry is facing a major challenge linked to its future growth, and today’s maturity could possibly turn into decline if we fail to attract new players. As well, the monopoly (in terms of lottery and casino management) which has allowed Loto-Québec to thrive is seriously challenged. These days, we face very stiff international competition for online gaming. The landscape has changed dramatically; the player does not seem care that much whether he is playing legally or illegally, so it’s becoming a whole new ball game. It is too soon to tell what the next generation of gaming products will be, but one thing is sure: Our teams of product developers are hard at work to define them and to make them happen.
However, Loto-Québec will continue, as it plans for the future, ensure that it continues to incorporate responsible gaming into all its initiatives. We are very proud of the fact that Loto-Québec was the first lottery operator to achieve the WLA’s Level 4 responsible gaming certification, and also the first to have been recertified at this level. The proper balance between our commercial and social responsibilities must be maintained. This is in Loto- Québec’s DNA. | 2019-04-25T02:24:18 | http://www.canadiangamingbusiness.com/ExecutiveQAG%C3%A9rardBibeau.aspx |
Issue #9725 has been reported by Charles Nutter.
At least once every few months, we get an error report of JRuby raising a memory error where MRI does not due to NameError's Message object holding a reference to an object that's too large to inspect. I propose that this inspection of the target object should only be done in verbose mode.
NameError is raised when a variable-like method call fails to find a defined method. The resulting exception is created with a hidden NameError::Message that holds the object in which the method could not be found.
When name error needs to render its message, such as when it bubbles out or when #message is called, it does to_str on the NameError::Message, which ends up inspecting the target object. If this object's inspect output is large (or infinite) it can end up consuming a large amount of memory.
* If the amount of memory required to render a NameError exceeds available memory, a very confusing and misleading memory error can be raised instead.
* If the target object is considered sensitive data, it will end up bubbling out through potentially untrustworthy code. It is an encapsulation flaw, basically.
* A NameError that gets held in memory will also prevent GC of the object it references.
* NameError should not capture the target object.
* NameError should build a message based on the target object *at creation time*, and only include information useful to indicate the type of object.
* (Optional) If verbose mode is set, NameError can just do what it does now. | 2019-04-21T20:40:14 | http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/61949 |
While the fall season has become a time for fashionable scarves and pumpkin-spiced lattes, when I was a kid, I always hated it. The waiting was unbearable. A watched sky rarely seems to snow.
When it did, it was on.
Sledding season, nothing was better. Sprinting to the top of the large hill outside of our elementary school, sleds and friends in tow. The preparation, the getting situated, teetering over the edge and then finally, hurtling down over the powder.
There were also, of course, the collisions. In some ways, running into each other was half the point. It wasn’t malicious. It was fun. We’d try to be careful, but really it was a lot like “Lord of the Flies” on sleds with mittens.
Dayvin Lee, now 12, was excited to go on a sledding field trip with his school last January.
Coincidentally, just weeks earlier Lauri had heard a warning on the radio that was focused on the importance of wearing a helmet while sledding.
During the field trip, Dayvin and another child accidentally collided and knocked heads. The other child ended up with a goose egg. Dayvin wasn’t as lucky. He suffered a depressed skull fracture and a concussion.
Dayvin was taken to Regions Hospital, and from there he was transferred to Gillette. Lauri and her husband rushed to the hospital.
The right side of Dayvin’s forehead was indented, and the depression was putting pressure on his brain. During the surgery, Kim and his team elevated the depression and the surgery was a success.
Every brain injury is different, but what seems to be consistent is that the recovery from them can be a laborious and frustrating process.
A CT scan of Dayvin's skull before (right) and after (left) surgery.
Dayvin was frustrated by some of the limitations, but overall, Lauri says he’s getting back to the life he had before.
For Kim, he’s confident that the message will begin to get through.
This blog was originally posted in January of 2018. Lauri gave us an update on Dayvin's progress.
"I hope Dayvin's accident and story helps get the message across about the importance of wearing a helmet while sledding. We still think about the accident nearly every day or are reminded by seeing the scar from his injury. It had a profound effect on us that we are still working through. Otherwise, though, all is well. Dayvin recently was able to start playing basketball and he's really been enjoying it. We are so glad we found this awesome helmet made by Gamebreaker. I highly recommend it to anyone that is searching for a good soft helmet! It’s passed several vigorous safety tests and looks appealing. Thanks again for reading our story. I hope it's helpful."

Terrell North Carolina homeowners should compare the differences between concrete swimming pools and fiberglass swimming pools before deciding on the right pool for their home. Often times we are asked, “which type of pool is better: concrete or fiberglass” and the answer is it really depends, but we will give you the facts so you can make an educated decision on which type of pool you want to install in your backyard.
Firstly, it is important to realize that concrete pools offer limitless customization to homeowners, allowing them to install any shape, size, or depth pool that they want. This means that if you want a really large pool, really deep pool, or a pool with a gradual slope from one end to the other, you can have it.
Moreover, concrete pools offer numerous features and attachments such as sun shelves, water falls, water fountains, and attached spas. You can create the exact type of pool you want, helping enhance and improve your backyard when you go with concrete.
Fiberglass swimming pools are shipped to your home in their final form and backfilled into place typically using sand. Because of this, you must select your new fiberglass pool, usually out of a catalogue. Moreover, during the backfilling process, If the sand gets wet, it liquifies, creating intense pressure against the walls of your fiberglass, which can cause spider cracks to form which will damage your pool.
Fiberglass pools also are subject to being damaged and chipped from debris from inclement weather and pool equipment and the repairs on fiberglass are hard to complete and color match the new fiberglass with the old.
Carolina Pool Consultants is your trusted full service inground concrete pool builder here in Terrell and we recommend concrete pools for any backyard thanks to their longevity, low maintenance upkeep, and the fact they are extremely hard to damage.
Let us help you transform your backyard with a brand new custom pool that you will love using for many years to come. We are the trusted choice for all your pool building needs and can help you increase the value of your home and improve your quality of life.
For special financing on your new inground pool, please contact Lyons Bank. | 2019-04-22T04:53:08 | https://mycpcpools.com/terrell-north-carolina-concrete-swimming-pools-versus-fiberglass-swimming-pools/ |
Departure from the airport to Athens and our hotel. Arrival and arrangement/check-in in the rooms. Our Sounion Τour begins with a wonderful drive along the scenic coastal road which allows a splendid view of the Saronic Gulf, passing through some of Athens’ most beautiful suburbs (Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Varkiza). Cape Sounion rises like a sheer cliff out of the sea as one approaches the site. At Cape Sounio we will visit the Temple of Poseidon, dated from the 5th century B.C. and offering one of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the world. According to legend, Cape Sounion is the spot where Aegeas, King of Athens, believing that his only son Prince Theseas was dead, jumped off the cliff, giving his name to the Aegean Sea. The wind-swept Cape Sounion was an obvious choice for a sanctuary of Poseidon, where the sailors might offer a last sacrifice to appease the mighty God of the Sea before leaving the comparative safety of the Saronic Gulf for the perils of the open Aegean Sea. The archaic temple was destroyed by the Persians in 480 B.C. and a new one was built in its place in 440 B.C. by Pericles. The contrast between the 12 white remaining Doric columns and the deep blue of the sea is still as spectacular as in the days of Lord Byron, who carved his name on the marble. We will have lunch at a seaside tavern. Return to our hotel. Overnight stay.
* The Tour in Sounion depends on the time of arrival of travelers.
After breakfast we depart for a City Tour starting from the Panathenaic Stadium known as Kallimarmaro. In Antiquity, the Stadium was used for Panathenea, the celebration head in honor of Goddess Athena. Free time for photos will be given. With the bus we will be heading for Zappeion Hall, the Greek Parliament and the Tomb of Unknown Soldier, which is a symbolic monument dedicated to the memory of the soldiers who died fighting for their country. Passing along Panepistimiou Street, one of the most known and central streets of Athens, we will end up in the triad of neoclassical buildings: The Library, the Academy and the University. Coming next is our most important visit in the center of Athens, Acropolis. Here we will have the chance to admire magnificent monuments, such as Parthenon, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, the Propilaia, the Ancient Agora, the theatre of Dionysus and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. We will have time for a tour in Parthenon Monument, which was built in the 5th century B.C by the architects Ictinus and Kallikrates. A visit in the New Acropolis Museum follows, which mainly includes findings of the archaeological area of Acropolis. The Museum first opened in 2009 and the building was designed by French-Swiss Benar Tschumi. It is considered one of the most beautiful museums. After that, we will have a guided tour followed by free time in the old historical neighborhood of Plaka, a district in the center of Athens, near the Acropolis. In the afternoon we will return to our hotel. Dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast, our day starts with a visit at one of the most historical municipalities of Greece, Marathon. It became known by the homonymous battle in September of 490 B.C between the Athenians and the Persians. We will start from the Marathon Lake. It’s an artificial lake made in order to collect water to be used for the water supply of Athens. The area of the lake covers 2.450 acres and its maximum depth is 54 meters. It’s entirely padded of pentelic marble, making it unique in the world. Time for photos will be provided. Museum of Marathon Race is our next stop. A gold medal has been awarded to the museum, as a Model Sports Museum. All the Marathon racers medals are kept in here, as well as that of the Olympic Winner “Spyros Luis”. Next important visit is Ramnus. It is an archaeological area that belonged to the Atlantic race. Ιn this area the famous sanctuary of Nemesis is located, the most important sanctuary of Divinity in Greece. A guided tour of this area will follow and afterwards we will visit the Archaeological Museum of Marathon, where you will admire findings from the Neolithic to the late Roman period. Οur next stop is the Tumulus with nine meters height of soil that covered the 192 Athenians who fell in the victorious battle against the Persians in 490 B.C. Return to our hotel. Dinner and overnight stay.
After breakfast we depart for Peloponnese. Our first stop will be the Isthmus of Corinth. It is a narrow strip of land of 6 kilometers length, connecting Central Greece with Peloponnese. Free time for photos and departure for Ancient Corinth. Ancient Corinth was an important city – state in Ancient Greece and dates back from the Neolithic Period (5.000-3.000). We will visit one of the largest museums in Greece, in terms of the wealth and quality of the findings. A guided tour will follow and then we will have free time for lunch. Departure for Mycenae. Mycenae was an ancient town of Argolis and one of the biggest centers of Greek civilization constituting a powerful military fortress. We will visit the Kingdom of the mythical Agamemnon, whom Homer praised in his epics. Then, we depart for the first capital of the Greek state during the period 1828 – 1833, Nafplion. We will have time to wander through the picturesque alleys of the city *. Arrival to our hotel. Dinner and overnight stay.
* Our Company will provide, for all travelers, a sightseeing “Train Tour” in Nafplion, without any extra charge.
After breakfast we depart for Athens. We will have free time to make our last purchases. Departure for the airport.

We are born knowing how to eat. As we grow older, that innate understanding of our unique needs is often overridden by external messages: Clean your plate. Never eat after 8 pm. Only consume X number of calories, carbs, or fat per day. The problem is, these rules are often at odds with what we truly need. As we ignore our internal signals in favor of external dietary rules, we become more and more disconnected from our physical selves. Over time, we forget how to listen to our own bodies.
"With a little bit of nutrition science and a lot of reflection on your lived experience, we can work together to discover the behaviors that support your health - as you define it"
Today, the once simple question of what to eat has become increasingly complicated. We are bombarded with information about the foods that will hurt or heal us, and the recommendations seem to change weekly. Popular diets of the day often contradict one another, and experts battle it out in the media claiming that their way of eating is the only one that will keep disease at bay. It is no wonder food and eating have become a source of stress and anxiety in our lives!
We would love to support you in cultivating a balanced, nourishing, and peaceful relationship with food.

Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) is a 15-minute taxi/Lyft/Uber ride to the workshop hotel downtown. The closest international airports are Greenville-Spartanburg, SC (GSP) served by Southwest, one hour from Asheville; Charlotte, NC (CLT), 2 hours from Asheville; and Atlanta, GA (ATL) 3.5 hours from Asheville.
Each 5-day workshop takes place at the Hilton Garden Inn 8am-5pm Monday-Thursday and 8am-1pm Friday. We break 1.25 hrs for lunch each day. Tuition is $550 per week and includes workshop materials, 40 hours of Continuing Education Credits and lesson plans for activities covered in the workshop. If you are enrolled in a degree program, I am happy to help you earn graduate credit.
It is recommended that you bring a laptop, a scientific calculator and the materials you may want access to for planning your courses. Bring clothes for comfort indoors when moving about the air-conditioned room, and for the warm sunny or rainy summer weather, we are likely to experience during outdoor activities or when walking around downtown on our lunch break.
Summer Workshops will be held at 309 College St. at the Hilton Garden Inn in downtown Asheville. Restaurants and shops are accessible by foot and Lyft/Uber can provide transportation to the Biltmore House, the Folk Art Center, Brevard Music Center or other locations.
Alternate places to stay, still within walking distance of the workshop and restaurants are the two hostels located downtown, Sweet Peas Hostel at 23 Rankin Ave. (828-285-8488) and Asheville Hostel and Guest House at 12 Ravenscroft Dr. (828-423-0256) or any of the other downtown hotels. The hostels have single rooms and group rooms with private or shared bathrooms for a traveler who is looking for more affordable pricing. Please realize the hostels can sometimes be a bit noisier, so earplugs are recommended—that being stated, many teachers have stayed at both hostels in the past and have been very happy with their choice. AirBnB.com and CouchSurfing.com are two other ways to choose your price and enjoy a bit of the local culture.
The YMCA is located at 30 Woodfin St. and Asheville Yoga Center is located at 211 Liberty St., both are 2-8 blocks from the Hilton Garden Inn and both hostels. Hiking, biking and running trails surround the city and I welcome workshop participants to join me for an afternoon run (or walk) after each day’s workshop. There will be enough daylight after the workshops to enjoy the mountains if you want to catch the sunset at a Blue Ridge Parkway lookout, check out the crafts at the Folk Art Center, or bring an evening picnic to a concert at the Brevard Music Center. Right outside the hotel, the streets of downtown Asheville offer live music; beer brewery tours; an outdoor fountain park for the kids to cool off (Splashville); contra, jazz, blues dancing; street performers; open galleries; comedy performances; summer symphonies and numerous other opportunities to take in the culture of this area.

"A Hawaiian shaved ice stand sits unoccupied in Idaho Falls, Idaho, Sunday, June 6, 2010."
I am not much on taking pictures that don't include a warm body of sort.
But that doesn't mean I don't take them.
On our way back from Idaho Falls, Idaho a couple weeks I spotted the old, rustic Hawaiian shaved ice stand across the street from where we were eating.
I had to run over and take a snap. There is something about beat down abandoned businesses and signage that always catches my eye.
Not to mention, the feel of this photograph is how I felt about Idaho Falls. | 2019-04-22T23:55:45 | http://blog.patricksmithphotos.com/2010/06/idaho-falls.html |

Elite Strategies > Blog > Blog > Lynn Univeristy Student SEO Project Success!
On Tuesday, November 11, 2014 members of the Elite Strategies staff along with students from Lynn University gathered in a classroom for a unique project.
Over the last few weeks, Dr. Henry Schrader of Lynn University and CEO of Elite Strategies Patrick Coombe have been working on developing a project for the class, aimed at helping students clean up their online presence before they hit the job market.
The 5 part project took place over about 2 hours and involved 5 members of Elite Strategies along with 12 students.
The project focused on locating any photos, articles or properties that might be deemed by employers as “unprofessional.” From there students concentrated on deleting any of those photos and ensuring that their Facebook privacy settings were secure. The primary part of the project involved the students building up their social profiles, primarily LinkedIn, Google+, and Twitter. You can read through the project outline in PDF format.
“This project was a great way for us to help local students get prepared for the job market. Lynn University has always been a great resource for us, and we are happy to give back.” said CEO Patrick Coombe after the class was over.
Patrick Coombe exchanges contact info with a Lynn University Student.
Elite Strategies staff Antonino Bologna and Kelsey Cesar ponder the class project and discussed future opportunities.
Elite Strategies Founder Patrick Coombe gives Lynn University Students a brief overview of the project. | 2019-04-24T22:43:40 | https://elite-strategies.com/lynn-university-student-seo-project-success/ |
Bold as I need be to assume the role of “famous actress and worldly, wise woman verifier”, I’m doing it. “Rubber time” exists for all our special moments—you know, those that seem to crawl by due to extreme emotions that keep us so aware, even if just blissful awe. And for most, myself included, journey into the unknown provokes just this. How to communicate these occasions that make our time move at snail speed, or even make it seem like it is not moving at all, will most probably prove to be a difficult task, and the best piece of advice I can give before I start on this blogging adventure is to say: do it and feel it for yourself. Force yourself into the unknown. Take a left turn in life, and let fate and the passage of time do the rest.
I actually cheated a little bit. I don’t feel like this is my pre-departure blog at all. In short, I have already departed and arrived back in the United States after a seven-week summer study abroad program in Tours, France. Because of this small “séjour” I feel like I have the faintest idea as to what being abroad really feels like. Not to say that I am fully prepared for the year that awaits me. I am also certain that I will have a rude awakening at the end of seven weeks this fall when I think, “I’m ready for the good ol’ USA. Seven more months of gross public bathrooms and the all too overwhelming string of foreign languages? What have I done to myself??” And then off I will scamper to find the nearest Starbucks, which always make me feel American and where we all share one language—that of the Starbucks menu board. Everyone knows what “frappucino” means, right?
But France was real, as I was reminded each time my senses came alive when I passed by the Boulangerie on the end of my street or the flowers at the “Marché aux Fleurs,” or stepped in a heaping pile of dog poo dutifully deposited by one of the French dogs that seem to out- populate the people. Even the châteaus of the Loire Valley were real, even though there is always an element of disbelief at which I had to stop and pinch myself when I ran across them. (My crowning “awe” moment was when I first glanced face on at Chambord.) And at the end of these moments, I went back into “rubber time,” and I’m certain that I was dreaming. And I could not be more ecstatic to share this remembrance, this requiem of my dream if you will, with you.
The egalitarian in me must give balance to this first blog. Even though my experience over the summer was stupor-provoking, dream-like, and all things fantastic, I must say at times my experience wasn’t really as exotic as it may sound. After all, we all are human beings who biologically need the same things—and the French definitely share many ideas about the amenities that should be made to society. They did, after all, invent “la joie de vivre.” So without doubt, the distant traveler that I am found food, shelter for when it rains or even when it didn’t, stores for toiletries, bathrooms, post offices, restaurants, and bars. I was especially lucky to find myself in France, which also had beautiful gardens, châteaus, boulangeries, cafés, and ancient cathedrals at my disposal. And let’s face it. “Studying abroad?” Basically, the biggest task to study abroad is packing and getting safely to the destination because once I was there, I really just had to observe and live life in order to be immersed. Only then did I learn the most valuable piece of my education I acquired while there. So there isn’t really a big fuss to be made about going across an ocean. After all, it’s not like I swam there.
On that note, I am boarding my flight to Istanbul today, and if you asked my stomach, it would say it was Christmas Eve and I was six years old again. The butterflies are swarming around, and I just spent the past five hours “wrapping presents,” otherwise known as stuffing most of my belongings (minus all of the “just in case” items that I usually throw in my bags—word of advice number two, “Do not over pack!!!”) into my huge roller bag. When I walk down the jet way at the end of the greatly anticipated arrival, I do not have any idea what I will see. I have never been to this part of the world and have hardly even studied much about it. But my fascination with it has been growing ever since my mother went last year, and came back to rave about her dream-like experiences, complete with “rubber time.” Therefore, let the presents be unwrapped, and the senses be indulged when I arrive.
2 Comments to "“Rubber Time”"
It really does feel like a dream when you’re in another country, doesn’t it? And I loved the Tours, France summer study-abroad program, too. I went last year! Keep us updated once you get to Turkey!
Extremely. It’s just not real! Good to hear from an alum of the Tours Language Program. Thanks! First blog from Turkey is coming right up… So much to entertain!!!! | 2019-04-22T06:38:53 | https://studyabroadblog.georgetown.domains/rubber-time/ |
Anders Lendager and Kasper Guldager Jensen from 3XN/GXN won the individual award “The Sustainable Element” by Building Green in Copenhagen last week. The two friends back from the architecture school were nominated for “their great engagement in the transition to sustainable construction and use of raw materials and waste as a resource”. And this transition must be mainstream in the construction industry as it is responsible for two-thirds of Denmark’s total waste.
Thus we carry a massive responsibility as architects, engineers, constructing architects, contractors and clients – because we create the future society. The individual award is an acknowledgement that commits in the fight for a more sustainable future with reduced CO2-emission. A future where regenerative cities and buildings are mainstream.
But how can we make sustainability and circular economy in architecture and organisations mainstream? How do we ensure that buildings and cities obtain more CO2 than they emit? Our previous generations have created a world where pollution has constantly increased. The amount of waste in the world is continuously growing, so we need action. Joint actions with a common goal of a more sustainable and healthy future.
Lendager Group and our collaborators encourage partnerships and collaborations across organisations, professions and disciplines – instead of competition. Innovation instead of conservatism. Yes, we must take responsibility together. We must upcycle building materials and waste to new and beautiful materials, which can be reused in new buildings. Without producing new products and without emitting CO2.
Right now the construction industry invests huge amounts in upcycle building materials and sustainable architecture. Lendager Group develops houses that can be disassembled and used again for new purposes. Concrete that is upcycled directly at the construction site of crushed concrete from the former building. And we upcycle and process aesthetically materials that all had former lives in another building. So the development is in full swing.
The development is a visible proof that it is possible to create a healthy and sustainable future – and make good business at the same time. It is possible to create a sustainable world with regenerative cities and buildings. A world with circular economy, where buildings actually obtain more than they take.
That is the world we at Lendager Group believe in. And we are ready to lead the way! | 2019-04-18T19:07:06 | https://lendager.com/en/news/acknowledgement-comes-great-responsibility/ |

President Trump's rally on Saturday in Elko County, Nevada, drew approximately four times the number of attendees as former President Obama's own rally in the state Monday.
Two days later, former President Obama took credit for the nation's soaring economy and bashed President Trump before a crowd of only 2,000, ABC News reported. The venue, the Cox Pavilion at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, seats between 2,154 and 3,286 people, depending on its configuration.
"When you hear all this talk about economic miracles, remember who started it," Obama told his audience. "I hope people realize there's a pattern that every time [Republicans] run things into the ground and we've got to clean it up."
A UNLV spokesperson told Fox News she was unaware why the state's Democratic Party chose not to hold the rally at the adjacent Thomas & Mack Center, which she confirmed could seat between 3,600 and 19,000.
A new NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll released Sunday showed Trump’s approval ratings have increased to their highest point yet: 47 percent, with 49 percent disapproving. The number is higher than President Barack Obama's 45 percent approval rating at the same time in his first term, October 2010.
Meanwhile, the Trump campaign announced that it had received more than 100,000 requests for tickets for its packed rally in Houston Monday night in support of incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, who is now polling several points ahead of rival Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke.
That rally initially was slated for the 10,000-capacity NRG Arena, before the campaign moved it to the much larger Toyota Center in Houston, which can seat nearly 20,000.
Thousands tailgated before the event on Monday night in a gameday-style atmosphere in the city, which leans Democratic in a deeply red state.
However, there were some indications that Trump may not be inspiring as much early in-person voting as Republican candidates might want. Only 435 people in Elko County, Nevada voted on Saturday despite Trump's rally that day, including 104 Democrats and 250 Republicans.
Early voting results in Nevada were generally favorable to Democrats, but experts have told Fox News it's too early to say any trend has developed there.
Fox News' Frank Miles contributed to this report. | 2019-04-19T16:48:53 | https://www.mixedtimes.com/politics/attendance-at-trumps-nevada-rally-quadruples-obama-event-total-at-unlv-arena |

After working with the Highway Department closely, MH&E developed a data collection plan of action and software application to which MH&E would work hand in hand with Town staff with field data collection. After Town personnel have collected data, MH&E will then geo-reference the information and create utility infrastructure mapping. This is an ongoing process developed with the help of MH&E which allows the Town to be an integral part of the process and benefits the Town with inherent cost savings. These mapping concepts are now a part of the long term planning for the Town.
MH&E designed and implemented a complaint form database management system which allows the storage of complaints within an access database. The complaint forms can then be printed individually or in a summary table. The complaint locations can be geo-coded into GIS mapping and maps can be created which identify the locations of complaints. This system is currently being used on a daily basis to track and maintain complaint information by The Town of Newburgh Highway Department.
A Storm Sewer Data acquisition system was designed to collect Storm Sewer data. This data is in turn connected to the Towns GIS system for mapping and identification purposes. The data is also made readily available for MS4 requirements and inventorying municipal infrastructure.
MH&E has also worked with the City of Port Jervis to develop a new roadway map and implement a parcel search layer. MH&E is planning on digitizing all of the existing utility mapping and develop new Water, Sewer and Storm Sewer mapping.
The implementation of address search capabilities will be a significant benefit to the City of Port Jervis. With utility mapping overlaid in the near future, City staff will be able to quickly jump to a parcel and identify utilities within the street. In order to make this happen MH&E will be working with the Assessing Department and the Orange County Real Property Tax Service for the latest information available.
This project display MH&E’s ability to understand and work with various personnel and departments in the gaining of information and the building of a successful GIS system. It is important to develop solid relationships with staff and understand particular means and methods in order to implement a GIS system that gets used each and every day.
MH&E is currently working on a new Street map for the Town of Wallkill. The image above shows a portion of the Street map with enlarged inserts which enable the identification of dense street areas. This map is the first step towards a large scale utility mapping project.
This map is designed to be a 50” x 60” wall map size. MH&E is planning on integrating several existing utility databases and mapping which include a host of existing information that had been previously collected via other methods. MH&E discussed with staff the type of information available and how it was collected and stored. MH&E is utilizing several methods to input existing hardcopy and digital utility data creating new utility infrastructure mapping.
MH&E has been retained to aid in local evaluation of current impacts of planned large scale developments.
MH&E has been retained to aid in local evaluation of current impacts of planned large scale developments. The Town Board had asked for mapping which identified the relationship of current large scale development projects with a historical site known as Knox Headquarters. By utilizing current available GIS mapping data, MH&E was able to show specifically the spatial relationship of the projects in question with that of the historic properties. This mapping directly benefited the Town Board with its evaluation and resulting impact to a long established historic site. | 2019-04-23T18:58:14 | https://www.mhepc.com/project-portfolio/geographic-information-systems-gis/ |
Dolphins never cease to amaze. As researchers delve into the underwater world of these brilliant cetaceans, we're learning how full of surprises these creatures are, from their intricate social lives to their intelligence. Here are just seven of the ways dolphins are exceptional, both physically and mentally.
Dolphins didn’t always live in the water. They’re what’s called reentrants. Millions of years ago, the ancestors of dolphins roamed across land. The dolphins we know today are evolved from even-toed ungulates, which had hoof-like toes at the end of each foot. But around 50 million years ago, these ancestor animals decided the ocean was a better place to be. They eventually returned to the water and evolved into the dolphins that we know today.
Recent research has shown the surprising capabilities of dolphins for staying awake for days or weeks on end.
On the one hand, the ability makes perfect sense. Dolphins need to go to the ocean’s surface to breathe, so they can’t simply breathe automatically like humans do. They have to stay constantly awake to take a breath and avoid drowning. How do they do this? By resting just one half of their brain at a time, a process called unihemispheric sleep.
If you've ever watched a dolphin eat –if don’t, you will when you swim with dolphins- and you will noticed that they seem to gulp down their food. That's because dolphins can't chew. Instead, their teeth are used to grip prey.
One theory for why they've evolved to do away with chewing is because they need to quickly consume fish before it can swim away. Skipping the process of chewing ensures their meal doesn't escape.
The idea of dolphins being employed by the military to scan harbors for enemy swimmers or pinpoint the location of underwater mines may seem like the plot of a B-rated movie, but is true for more than 50 years.
Dolphins work by using echolocation, one of their great and incredible characteristics.
Study by researchers revealed that a population of dolphins living around the world, use some tools and they pass that knowledge down from mother to daughter.
Individuals in this small group of dolphins will search for several minutes to find cone-shaped sea sponges that are shaped for the task. The behavior is called “sponging,” and its a hunting behavior transmited from mother to calfs.
We know that pufferfish have strong toxins. Normally, pufferfish toxin is deadly. However, in small doses the toxin acts like a narcotic.
Apparently dolphins know this too, and they use this for recreational benefit, what make us think than not only humans find benefits taking some substances tha modified our anaemic state.
Dolphins have names and respond when called. In Delphinus all the animals of our family have a name given by they human family, that’s how you will recognize them when you swim with dolphins, however within pods have their own “signature whistle”.
Considering dolphins are a highly social species with the need to stay in touch over distances and coordinate together, it makes sense that they would have evolved to use “names” much in the same way people do.
Dolphins are amazing, and the oportunity to know them closer thanks to Delphinus is so much real than you think, live and experience like no other and learn more about this incredible marine specie.

I’ve have lots of clients over the years tell me that sugar cravings are something they struggle with, so I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to review some of the common reasons why it happens and share some strategies for what to do about it.
1. You are really hungry.
I always encourage people to eat based on their body’s cues for physical hunger (as opposed to when they just “want” to eat). But hunger falls on a sliding scale – sometimes you are just a little bit hungry and need a snack, and other times you are so ravenous you will eat virtually anything. The more hungry you are, the more likely you are to crave sweet and starchy food.
The solution: Don’t try to starve yourself. Genuine physical hunger cannot be ignored and it will just build and build until you can’t postpone it any longer. The goal is to start eating when you are physically hungry, but to nourish yourself before you become desperate for food.
2. Your blood sugar levels are fluctuating a lot.
Even if you don’t have diabetes, foods which are high in starch and/or sugar can break down in the gut quickly and can cause blood sugar levels to rise quickly, especially if these food are also low in fat, fibre and protein (eg. Cold breakfast cereal, white bread, boiled potatoes). As blood sugar levels start to rise, your body will release insulin to bring blood sugar levels back down again. This isn’t a bad thing, but a rapid drop in blood sugar levels or blood sugar levels which drop too low, can trigger cravings for sugar.
The solution: Choose slower-release carbohydrates like legumes, barley, whole grain basmati rice, whole wheat pasta and/or make sure there is some healthy fat or protein at the same meal to help regulate blood sugar levels.
3. Sweets are what you use to “treat or reward” yourself.
People who are so stressed and busy that they rarely take time for themselves will often end up “rewarding” themselves with food, alcohol or both. Food is very emotional, so if you have fond memories of your grandmother’s homemade chocolate chip cookies helping you feel nurtured and relaxed during childhood, it shouldn’t come as any surprise when you want these types of foods after a rough day at work.
The solution: Everyone rewards themselves with food to some degree, the question is how often it is happening and what other strategies you have in place which also make you feel nurtured and relaxed. Meditation, an enjoyable walk outdoors, having a nap, writing in a journal, or calling a friend, are other strategies you could use to nurture yourself without food. The more often you engage in these other self-care activities, the less tempted you will be by sugar and alcohol.
4. You are not paying attention while you are eating your meal.
Being “full” is a physical sensation of how stretched your stomach is. Being “satisfied” is mental and comes from your enjoyment from the food, how much attention you were paying to the food while eating and how much the food stimulates your senses. If you are prone to eating quickly while doing something else (eg. Checking your smart phone), this robs your brain of the enjoyment of eating and often leads to people looking for food even when their tummy is full.
The solution: Pay attention to your food while eating so that the physical fullness and mental satisfaction from the meal can occur at the same time.
5. Your food is bland or you are bored with what you are eating.
Many people get stuck in a rut of eating the same 10-15 meals over and over and over again.
This doesn’t do much to energise or stimulate your brain or your taste buds so it shouldn’t come as a surprise when they start calling out for more stimulating foods with lots of flavour (eg. Sweets).
The solution: Enjoy a wider variety of foods and make sure these foods have lots of flavour. This helps from both a nutritional perspective and greatly increases the enjoyment you get from food and eating.

"I regret to inform you that Mr Niven, the purchaser of Farm 940 in the Carnamah Subdivision, died suddenly on the 25th ultimo on his way to Perth. It appears that his health had not been too good for some time past, and that he was on his way to Perth to get medical advice but expired in the train at Mogumber. An inquest was held and the cause of death was certified to be the rupture of a blood vessel. I instructed Mr Woods, the Company's Ranger, to give Mrs Niven any advisory assistance she might require, and requested him to inform me whether he considered Mrs Niven would be able to carry on the farm alone, or what the family proposed doing, and having seen Mrs Niven he replied that she was quite able to carry on the work of the farm, although financially she did not know how she stood as her late husband consulted her but little on this subject."
"I have seen Mrs Niven. She tells me she is quite able to carry on the work on the farm, but financially she is quite in the dark as to how she stands. Mr Niven, it appears, consulted her very little in this respect. She is getting assistance from the Industries Assistance Board, and will have under crop this year about 250 acres. The early sown crop looks well. Mr Niven (as far as Mrs Niven can gather) was going down to Perth to consult Messrs Stone and Burt on a matter connected with a sum of money left to him by his late brother in Scotland. These papers she says were lost or destroyed. She is quite in the dark where her husband died, and who was with him at the time of death."
The death occurred at Midland Junction on Sunday the 1st inst., of an old resident of Carnamah in Mrs. Annie Niven, widow of the late Robert Niven formerly of "Craigend," Carnamah. The deceased lady was 79 years of age and is survived by seven daughters and seven sons. The late Mrs. Niven was among the first settlers to come to Carnamah. The funeral took place at Karrakatta and was attended by a large number of relatives and friends." | 2019-04-24T17:48:45 | https://www.carnamah.com.au/bio/ann-munro |

Without a doubt, the general consensus in this country is that Alcoholics Anonymous is an effective remedy for alcoholism and is the treatment of choice. Virtually all treatment centers in the United States funnel their clientele into Alcoholics Anonymous or sister groups such as Cocaine Anonymous.
Rarely, if ever, does the mass media carry anything except the highest praise for AA and the treatment facilities. In newspaper articles, television news features and radio interviews, politicians, movie stars, famous athletes and even an ex-first lady carry the message that they had faced alcoholic ruin but “being in recovery”*1 saved their lives.
The multi-billion dollar treatment industry advertises the need for “treatment,” costs of which can run into the tens of thousands of dollars for a standard 28-day stay.
Each business sells its own treatment as the best for those suffering from what they claim is an incurable, progressive disease. Success rates of as high as 90 percent are reported.
While not all advertisements explicitly state “medical treatment,” it is usually implied. While often set in hospitals, rarely is much about the treatment “medical.” A small number of alcoholics, perhaps ten or fifteen percent, do need medical assistance for a few days of detoxification. However, any medical attention generally stops there. The stress is on AA indoctrination.
It seems almost no one subjected these numbers to rigorous examination. The first report of anyone actually doing so apparently appeared on the other side of the world in an Australian medical journal in 1948.
Many people have such faith they see no need to actually keep count and perhaps even see the idea of tracking results, of questioning the effectiveness of their “spiritual principles,” as offensive. It would be putting science over personal experience (the Fifth Gospel from the Oxford Group).
In medicine, however, the normal course for determining the effectiveness of a treatment is to compare it against other treatment and/or no treatment at all.
There have been two controlled studies of the effectiveness of Alcoholics Anonymous independent of any other type of treatment. Since they deal with persons required by the court to attend AA, they demonstrate the relative effectiveness of AA in a coercive context. Since a significant number of AAs are first indoctrinated in this way, both studies are relevant.
The first was an experiment done in San Diego, California. Chronic offenders, averaging twelve prior drunk arrests each, were given a thirty-day suspended sentence and a one-year probation. A requirement of probation was that they remain abstinent for one year.
A court judge randomly assigned 301 people to one of three categories: no treatment, a psychiatrically oriented community alcoholism clinic and Alcoholics Anonymous. Complete data for a minimum of one year was available on 241 cases. In the no-treatment group, 56 percent were rearrested. The AA group fared the worst. In what was almost a tie with the clinic group, 69 percent of the group sent to AA was rearrested. An interesting question, one that was not answered in the research paper, is whether the clinic, as is customary, also sent their clients to AA.
In another study of court referral for treatment done in Lexington, Kentucky, 197 alcoholic patients began treatment.62 They were randomly divided into five groups; professional “insight” therapy, professional behavior therapy, lay-led behavior therapy, AA, and a no-treatment control group. Of the 197 patients who began therapy, 104 were still available for the one-year final outcome study.
Of the subjective measures, perhaps the most telling is the number of respondents who reported improvement for the last three months. AA tied with the no-treatment control group for the smallest percentage of those who could report improvement. One of the professional groups and the lay group fared remarkably better. All groups had some members who attended AA but the lay-led group, which reported the best results on this measure, had the least intense AA involvement.
Compounding this pathetic outcome for AA is that the twelve who stuck with AA for the year scored progressively worse on two important MMPI*2 scales. One of these, the Finney Addiction Scale, is used to identify people who have trouble with narcotics by measuring the qualities such people tend to have. The AA members became more like the kind of people who have narcotics problems.
The other measure, called the Hysteria Scale, is related to people who have somatic complaints and to the denial of difficulties. The AA group, the group that reported the least success, was also the one most inclined to hide its difficulties.
The main criticism of these two studies is that they deal only or predominately with people coerced into treatment by the legal system. This, of course, is true. It is also true, however, that they make an excellent case against court-mandated AA attendance.
There apparently have been no controlled studies done of AA against other treatment in a non-coercive environment. So unquestioned has been the effectiveness of AA that most studies comparing treatments compare different versions of AA-based treatment. “Successful outcomes” are often defined, not in moderation or abstinence, but in rates of AA attendance. However, some revealing studies have been done.
“It seemed perfectly clear…by turning to recovering alcoholics [AA members] rather than to Ph.D.'s for lessons in breaking self-detrimental and more or less involuntary habits, and by inexorably moving patients…into the treatment system of AA, I was working for the most exciting alcohol program in the world.
Odd indeed, for a doctor to discount not having cured or ameliorated the symptoms of an illness, but to instead boast of getting the patients to join AA. How can this be?
Perhaps the problem with his alcoholic patients dying at an “appalling” rate wasn't because of a failure of AA but because of a failure on the part of his patients to believe in AA. This is in spite of the fact that those who didn't believe, and wouldn't go, did better.
The “medical” justification for AA indoctrination used by treatment enterprises and AA itself is the disease theory. Careful examination of disease theory, which many of us have accepted for humanitarian reasons, will show its effects have been far from humanitarian.
*1 Use of the phrase "in recovery" is an excellent indication of 12-Step membership.
*3 This is the same as AA's first step. Al-Anon was originally formed to give the wives of the early AA's an opportunity to "work a spiritual program." It is now available to those who work with, and friends of, alcoholics. | 2019-04-18T23:26:32 | http://morerevealed.com/mr/does-aa-really-work.html |
I waited ‘til dark. I waited ‘til the share house was empty. I sat in the front room. Bare boards. High ceiling. I closed the curtains, blocking out the cars from St Kilda Junction.
I’d heard this new Springsteen album was different to his previous five albums. I knew not to expect the E Street Band (or any band). I knew not to expect Clarence Clemons saxophone solos (or any saxophone). I knew not to expect fervent, triumphant choruses (or any triumphs). After all, Nebraska was recorded on a four-track tape machine by a man alone in a bedroom.
I placed the needle on the record. Turned out the light. Sat in the middle of the room. Faced the cold fireplace.
Some harmonica. Some strumming. Some mumbling. A song about two serial killers. A song about dying, and about coming back. Another song about murder. And execution.
Grim stuff. As bleak as the grey album cover. As stark as the red titles on the black print on the back.
A song about brothers, one good, one not so good.
Five songs in and I was wrung out. I didn’t catch all the lyrics that first time around but I got the gist of things. No light, no shade on this album.
Then the sixth song began, with its guitar line pulsating like a fresh bruise.
At the end of the third verse Springsteen lets out two whoops, or hollers. I wouldn’t say I nearly jumped out of my chair but my heart was thumping and I started thinking about turning on the light.
Could the song, could the album, get any darker?
As the song finishes Springsteen cries out twice more, as if releasing all the tension of all six songs on that first side of the record.
That State Trooper is the last song on the first side emphasised its hypnotic dread, for when the needle lifted off the vinyl and the arm rested in its cradle you’re left there sitting in the silence. On your own. In the dark. Thinking about black rivers and serial killers.
I don’t know the second side of Nebraska as well as the first. I know My Father’s House but the other three songs could never capture and hold my attention after State Trooper.
I’ve got Nebraska on CD and iPod these days, and still on vinyl. I play the album from time to time, sitting by myself, away from the family. I brace myself for State Trooper. I leave the lights on.
Vin Maskell ponders the darkness of Springsteen’s State Trooper.
Awesome combination of music and words!
yep. stolen car then state trooper than back to stolen car. like vegemite on raisin toast, so sour it’s delicious. | 2019-04-21T11:17:40 | http://www.stereostories.com/state-trooper-by-bruce-springsteen/ |
You have a very innovative mind, so needless to say quite advanced ideas for the time and place are vibrant in your mind at all times, and yet you have no problems juggling between the constant idea flow and projects, you do however find yourself hard to comprehend how people have a hard time understanding your ideas from time to time, as they are as I said earlier sometimes a bit ahead of time.
People are always after your skill set as well as reliability. When you start something you finish it, and is not only that, you also have this natural curiosity of finding things out, the more mysterious the more appealing. You can also boast with your exceptional communication skills and endless amounts of energy you bring to the table.
If you experience people not understanding you, it results in lashing out in anger and irritation. But learning to be more patient and understanding that people will not always get what your views are will help you. Listening to people’s comments on your ideas or projects will give you an outlook on how they comprehend things and why confusion happens.
Later on in life you do stand firmly on the ground having much more self-confidence in your own mind than in younger years, as you begin to understand people much more and dwell on misunderstandings much less, which makes life much easier and much more focused to your productive endeavours.
You have a genuine interest in people which brings many admirers your way. You are generous with your time and care and can be very warm to everyone. But when it comes to love, you are quite slow and picky person. You will only commit after being absolutely sure of what makes a perfect partner for you, and only than will you start to open up and show your true colours.
Healthy diet with a well established schedule and plenty of variety, with balancing additives of vitamins and minerals is highly recommended for you, there is also a need for routine exercise plan to be in place, together this routine will help your body to endure the energetic lifestyle you live. However make sure you dedicate your time to resting and relaxing, so plenty of sleep is a must.
Your ability to express yourself through words will serve you great in careers as writer or poet. But you may also be swayed in direction of law or diplomacy, even business. | 2019-04-19T16:49:55 | https://www.onlinepsychic.eu/numerology-june-5th/ |

From the outlook of a planet that resides next to a quiet, relatively predictable star, the circumstances that lead to dramatic stellar explosions elsewhere in the universe can sound somewhat improbable. Some such blasts, known as type Ia supernovae, occur when a small, dense star known as a white dwarf—roughly the diameter of Earth, but hundreds of thousands of times more massive—grows too large by siphoning material off a neighboring star, igniting a thermonuclear explosion. Other cataclysms, known as type II supernovae, occur when much heftier stars, some of them dozens of times as massive as the sun, implode under their own weight.
Luckily those circumstances arise infrequently enough to spare humankind the fallout of a nearby supernova. But the universe is a big place, and locally rare events such as type Ia and type II supernovae happen in relatively large numbers across the vast expanse of space. Now a sky survey has turned up a much rarer kind of supernova, one that defies the standard explanations for how such blasts work.
Four new PTF supernovae, along with two events identified in the past several years that defied classification, all share the same unexplained traits: They are extraordinarily bright, and a spectral breakdown of their emitted light shows no trace of common supernova components such as hydrogen, iron and calcium. "If you look at thousands of supernova spectra, as I do, these immediately jump out to you as being peculiar," Quimby says. "They don't have the normal kinds of wiggles that you'd expect to see."
The extreme brightness of the new class of supernovae, some 10 times that of a typical type Ia supernova from an exploding white dwarf, rank them among the most luminous supernovae known. That luminosity enabled Quimby and his colleagues to spot a handful of the new supernovae among the 1,000-plus supernovae of all kinds that have been found by PTF, even though core-collapse supernovae appear to be 10,000 times more common.
But just what produces the brightness of the new class remains unknown. The way the supernovae fade from their peak brightness over time is inconsistent with the decay of radioactive elements, which is what powers the glow of a type Ia supernova. And in core-collapse cataclysms such as type II supernovae, heavy elements such as iron appear in the spectra, usually accompanied by hydrogen from the expanding supernova blast encountering ambient gas in the circumstellar medium.
One possible origin for the superluminous blasts is a very massive star, roughly 100 times the mass of the sun, that ejects a dense shell of hydrogen-depleted material. If it then undergoes core collapse to initiate a supernova, the supernova-driven ejecta would collide with the existing shell to glow brightly. Astronomers have found a precedent of a hydrogen-poor supernova preceded by an eruptive event, says Roger Chevalier, a professor of astronomy at the University of Virginia who did not contribute to the new research. But the scale of that eruption was far too small to explain the luminosity of the PTF group's supernovae.
Alternately, a supernova could have left behind a magnetar, a highly magnetized form of the dense stellar remnants known as neutron stars. The rapid spin of a magnetar could provide an internal power source to light up the supernova ejecta. But that scenario is wanting for observational backup as well; all known magnetars spin far too slowly to account for the glow of the superluminous blasts. "You want it to be formed with a spin rate of one to three milliseconds, and we don't have any evidence to show that magnetars form with those kinds of spin rates," Chevalier says. "So in principle at least you can produce the high luminosity in that way, but again there's a lot we don't understand."
Quimby and his colleagues are continuing to look for new events and to track fading supernovae over time to see how they evolve. They have even marshaled the Hubble Space Telescope to gather their ultraviolet spectra. "By building that whole sequence and incorporating the UV data, we can get a better handle on the physical origins of these things," Quimby says. But for the moment neither mechanism for the newfound supernova class is entirely convincing, Chevalier notes. "They both have their pluses and minuses, and I wouldn't say the community has come to an agreement about what is going on here," he says. | 2019-04-24T22:43:12 | https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/superluminous-supernova/?error=cookies_not_supported&code=82e3e5d1-4b3b-4642-b35e-42ae891600b3 |

Prepare the tamago omelette. You need 5 eggs, 1 flat tbsp. of sugar, 1 flat tbsp. of salt, 1 tbsp. of Blue Dragon soy sauce and possibly 1 tbsp. of mirin. Whip all the ingredients together. Preheat a frying pan and add oil, put out the excess. Pour a thin layer of eggs and wait until they congeal. Roll one end tightly like a pancake leaving 3 cm of the edge. Move it towards the other end of the pan and pour another thin layer of eggs so that everything comes together. Wait until it congeals and roll again. Do the same with all the eggs. In the meantime, add a bit of oil – the omelette will not glue. We leave the omelette (pressed) to cool.
Take one ball of rice (bite size) and place it in your hand and form it into a nice oblong shape, closing the hand. Spread a bit of wasabi on the top.
Place a slice of tamago on the top and press it to the rice with the index and middle finger. Wrap it into a slice of sushi nori.
Serve with Japanese soy sauce, extra wasabi and Blue Dragon marinated ginger. | 2019-04-24T23:54:52 | https://www.sushimadeeasy.eu/recipes/nigiri-with-japanese-omlette-tamago-and-nori-stripe |

A few nights ago I cooked up some big local grassfed chuck steaks for dinner. They tasted great (and were on sale, which is why I bought them), but chuck is a difficult cut to tenderize, so they made a pretty chewy meal and we ended up saving most of the meat for another day. Last night I diced it up and threw it in our VitaClay with a can of black beans and a bunch of veggies: red onion, garlic, ruby chard stems, and carrots. I seasoned it with chili powder, cumin, coriander, paprika, and a few other items, and cooked it for an hour. The result was a bowl of something chili-ish that tasted great with a dollop of real sour cream. Theo was just excited that I made bean “soup,” and Jeremy thought it had great flavor, which is high praise coming from him.
To go with our ish-chili, I thought it would be fun to make some ish-cornbread. These turned out to be gluten-free blue corn ebelskivers with millet and almond flour, fluffy yet moist little bites with a crisp exterior, perfectly accompanied with a discreet drizzle of honey. Jeremy took a bite and exclaimed, “They’re like beignets!” I suspect the city of New Orleans would disagree on that point, but you get the idea. They were great as a side for our spicy chili-ish soup, satisfying enough to behave as dessert, and equally at home on my breakfast plate the next day with fried eggs, ham, and homemade sauerkraut. While I was making them, I was very tempted to stuff them with something: sharp cheddar, fruity jam, or even bites of Theo’s favorite uncured bison hot dog would equally fare well, I suspect. And the piece de resistance was that, although Nolan wouldn’t touch them in ebelskiver form, he did eat several muffins that I made from the same batter, perhaps the first time he has willingly eaten more than a crumb of cornbread.
I have the best luck cooking my ebelskivers through if I do two 90 degree turns with a bit of cooking time in between, instead of flipping 180 degrees all at once. It makes the finished shape a little irregular, but I’d rather have that than an unintended gooey center, and it also makes stuffing easier.
Stir together batter while ebelskiver pan heats over medium heat. Brush pan lightly with oil or butter, and scoop by 2 T into each well. Use a toothpick, skewer or other precision implement to flip the ebelskivers when they are golden brown underneath. (I did two half turns to cook through.) Repeat with remaining batter. Delicious with a drizzle of honey.
Variants: Stuff with anything you like. A few ideas I’d like to try: Sharp cheddar (maybe with green chiles or minced ham); strawberry jam; sautéed apples; feta cheese and bacon; and bison hot dog pieces for a bite-sized corndog perfectly sized for a toddler fist.
For muffins: Dish by 1/4 C into muffin liners (I use silicone). In my microwave, a single muffin was cooked through in 45 seconds. In my steamer, the muffins were set and nicely moist after 10 minutes.
If you try the more traditional route of baking in the oven, using either a large pan or muffin tin, be sure to let me know how it goes! I’d like to try this recipe in my cast iron skillet to keep that nice crisp crust. | 2019-04-25T11:52:55 | https://persnicketypalate.com/2015/06/09/ish/ |
There's nothing we love more than the first sign of spring, and for us, that usually means hopping in an old car and driving to a car show. Here in Tennessee, the first events usually kick off in mid-March, and the Corvette Expo in Pigeon Forge is almost always on our radar. It's a fun event with cars, vendors, a swap meet and lots of fun for all types of Corvette (and Chevy) enthusiats. This year, along with the Corvette extravaganza, Byron Cooper and event organizers put together the Chevelles in the Smokies exhibit as part of the indoor display at the Corvette Expo. This exhibit brought together 18 of the finest Chevelles East of the Mississippi, and many of them were wearing our tires! We were pleased to see that the Best in Show was wearing a set of our Firestone Wide Oval Radial redline tires and Rallye wheels, an excellent combo! Other notable cars in the Chevelles in the Smokies exhibit was a pair of 1966 Chevelles owned by Terry Davis. Both cars were rolling on Firestone 775-14 redline bias ply tires, as they did from the factory. With hundreds of Corvettes and Chevelles on the property, there was an abundance of Coker-equipped vehicles to examine while we walked the aisled of the LeConte Center (both inside and outisde). Take a look at some of our highlights and get your collector vehicle ready for springtime cruising! | 2019-04-23T12:14:33 | https://www.cokertire.com/blog/corvette-expo-2019/ |

Inspired by: Eagle of the Ninth, has a few nods to Song for a Dark Queen. Also, other Sutcliff works with hounds.
Cunoval son of Cunomor was a worried man. The rain and wind had come too early for the harvest, the oats had rotted and the winter stores were emptier than they should be. Worse, three of the horses he'd intended to sell this autumn had the mud sickness already - so early in the year too! They could not be sold now, or not for the full price, anyway.
And now, here was the dratted bee-slave with the news that another of the precious hives had gone quiet and empty with the wet-rot. Honey is expensive stuff, and now there might not be enough to sell and still have enough for their own use. He waved the bee-slave angrily away. The great hound, Llygad y Dydd, as always by his side, looked up anxiously at him and whined softly.
"You and I, girl, we need some space" he told her. They set off up the valley road together, the great hound loping lazily behind the small man, heading for where the cattle were turned out a mile or so up the hillside away from the turf walls of the dun.
Scratching between the white ears of the great bull, Cadarn, was calming, and the bull enjoyed it too. The huge head leant sideways against the fence rail and the bull heaved a huge damp happy sigh. Cunoval looked up the valley at the mist hanging low over the heather : all too soon it will be time to bring the cattle down into the valley for the winter again.
He heard the sound of galloping hooves before he saw the horses : three of them, two bays and a dapple grey, coming up over the heather-covered slope of the hillside. They dodged perilously close to a browsing group of heifers, causing the young cows to throw their heads up and snort indignantly, trampling. Behind the horses, and easily keeping pace with them, a pair of long-legged rough-coated hounds, and riding the horses ... Oh yes, of course, it would be them, racing about like fools and startling the cattle - his three sons, hair streaming, no saddles, focussed on nothing but the race.
"Oi! Lads! Mind the cattle! " Cunoval raised a hand and waved them off towards the cart track. They thundered past him, unshod hooves flashing, and the youngest, sandy hair streaming, raised his hand in acknowedgement for a moment, face lit with fierce joy, before urging the eager horse forward to take the lead from his dark haired elder brother.
Llygad y Dydd sprang up and raced them down the hillside, easily overtaking the other hounds, her own pups, now grown. But not quite as fine as her, Cunoval thought proudly. None of the hounds of the clan so tall, so strong, so elegantly poised and so fluid in their movement. She caught up with the horses, then, having made her point, she looped round and cantered easily back up the hill to Cunoval's side.
He slapped Cadarn gently on his massive neck and sighed. Some of the heifers would probably have to be sold now to make up for the missing honey and pay the taxes. His heart ached at the thought, for Cunoval loved his cattle and knew every line of each animal back three or more generations - but there was little choice if his people were to be fed and the taxes paid this winter.
By the time he got back to the dun, the clouds were hanging heavy and grey over the hills in the West and the light was fading. A small cold wind had sprung up, blowing sharp between the roundhouses and barns. Some sheep bleated sadly from an enclosure over on the west side - they must have come in ready for the market tomorrow. A small hairy cur-dog sniffed near them, eating dung, but there were no people about. Everyone had already retreated indoors to the fireside, even though the light was not quite gone.
He pushed open the heavy, finely carved door of his house, and paused for a moment for his eyes to get used to the firelight inside, as Llygad y Dydd pushed past him to take up her favorite spot on a sheepskin rug near the fire.
His wife, Angharad, came towards him and put a hand on his arm. The great silver torc with the hounds head finials, that she usually said was far too heavy for everyday wear, glinted around her neck, and she was wearing her best cloak with the heavy gold brooch. Her eyes, once he had blinked enough to be able to see them in the dim light, looked strained.
"Some men have come from Calacum - soldiers" she said. "They will not tell me what they are about. I have told Bri to put their horses in the new barn, and I have given them some of the wine that you bought in Eboracum".
"I will speak with them" he said, trying to ward off the spark of irritation which had dropped away during the quiet afternoon, but now came surging back to sting him.
The soldiers were sitting, drinking from horn cups in the middle of the house near the fire when he entered. Most of his family had retreated to watch them from a distance - Cunoval could see his smallest grand daughter peeping at them from behind the big loom set up near the door. His sons and two of their friends were sitting together with their eyes on the visitors, barely pretending to play dice.
The soldiers stood as he approached them. They were big, even with their helmets off, all in leather and bronze and iron, and they loomed over him like a wall made of men. Llygad y Dydd touched his hand with her nose, she had come to stand beside her lord, not growling yet, but unmistakably there, a warning to these strangers that had come into her home.
Cunoval had a moment of wishing that he had had enough warning to slip on his best tunic and the fine blue cloak rather than this old one that Cadarn had slobbered on. No matter : they would knew who he was, lord of five hundred spears. He stood in front of them, far enough back that he did not have to crane his neck.
"Welcome" he said, politely in slow and careful Latin. "I am Cunoval ap Cunomor, the lord of this land." Best be quite clear about that. Who knew where these men had come from, Gaul or Spain or even Rome itself. They might not even understand plain British speech.
"I see my Angharad has offered you bread and wine. We do not often see unfamiliar faces so far into the hills" That was true enough, though of course he had often seen men like this in Calacum and further afield, and not always as peaceful guests, either. He politely did not ask them what they wanted, but waited to see what they would say.
The man who seemed to be their leader spoke - Latin, but with a harsh accent that Cunoval did not recognise.
" We've come to bring you the details of your tax assessment " he said - very blunt and rude. "You and your people will need to pay what you paid last year, plus fifty more cows to cover the increase in your herds. "
"Fifty more than last year!" Cunoval exclaimed. This was far more than he had planned for. He would not be expected to supply them all from his own herd, but for many of the small villages and isolated farms that owed him their allegiance, sparing an extra cow would be very hard. He would certainly have to make up the shortfall.
" Fifty. You must bring them to market in Calacum within the next moon. Cows, or their value in other goods : they will be sold for silver to be sent back to Rome in any case, so you can send the tax direct in silver if you have it.
There will also be a levy of young men, to make up a new auxiliary corps. You are expected to supply at least two hundred from your lands here. "
He heard Angharad breathe in sharply. This was terrible news. Auxiliaries could be sent clear to the other side of the Empire, and often were. Their families might never see them again.
"I might be able to find twenty younger sons with no farms of their own to tend who wish to travel..." he began, but the bigger man interrupted.
"Two hundred, I was told. If you can't make that, you'll have to take it up with the magistrate in Calacum. My job is just to bring the message to you."
Your job is to make it clear what will happen if we ignore the message, Cunoval, thought, angrily.
"The Legate has graciously allowed you two moons to find the men, so you can be sure the harvest is in and the beasts ready for winter before they leave." The man paused. He added in a less official voice "That's a fine dog you have there. I'll buy her off you for silver if you need the cash."
He sounded as though he actually thought he was doing Cunoval some sort of favour. Cunoval felt as though he had been punched in the stomach. Sell Llygad y Dydd, the noblest of his hounds, for silver to pay a tax? Sell her to some landless soldier? He'd almost rather sell his sons.
" She is not for sale" he said.
"No? As you wish." The man went on to talk of the pay and conditions for recruited auxiliaries, but Cunoval was too outraged to take in the details.
It would have been polite to invite the Romans to sleep in his own house, but he had had enough of being polite. The barn would suit them well enough.
They met to talk over the problem the next day ; Angharad, his sons, the principal people of the village and the farmers whose lands lay close enough for them to be quickly called in. It was fortunate it was market day, so many of his people had come in from the farms that day to sell or buy.
Cunoval laid out the soldier's message to them all, not hiding his own dismay. They threw names about, younger sons, slaves, workers who might be willing to adventure far afield or could easily be spared. Not enough. Nothing like enough of them.
"Where do they think these men will come from?" asked his youngest son, blue eyes angry. "Do they think we grow men like oats in the ground?" Cunoval almost smiled despite his worries. He looked so much like Angharad when he frowned like that : the clever one, thinking for his people as well as himself. He might be the youngest, but Cunoval could not imagine sending him away to serve Rome in some far land, never to return.
The discussion ran in circles, twisting like a hare with the hounds behind her, but coming up time and time again against the hard fact: Rome would have her taxes, and her levy.
At last, Angharad drew herself up, tall and angry. She was the same height as Cunoval, and her grey eyes were hard as flint.
"We will not send my people, unwilling, to serve Rome, who knows where or for how long." she said, and her voice was final. Cunoval loved her like that, uncompromising, strong, the Lady of her people. But sometimes he wished that Rome would agree to talk to her direct. It was no easy thing, being caught between Rome and the will of the Lady.
"You must go to Calacum and make them understand we cannot spare so many, Cunoval" she said. "And we should send word to my cousins, and to your brother. There are many men in Isurium and Eboracum now, it may be that some of them can come to help us with this levy. "
He sighed "very well." he said.
The visit to Calacum was not a success. Cunoval was not good at talking to the men of Rome, and although he tried to bribe his way to a fairer assessment, he must have picked the wrong man, or perhaps the wrong moment. Or maybe someone else had bribed first and more successfully. The tax was not changed at all, and the levy was reduced, but only by twenty men. A hundred and eighty was as out of reach as two hundred, as far as Cunoval was concerned : the loss of so many men would leave every farm in his lands struggling to keep families fed for many years to come.
Cunoval's land was sparsely peopled, scattered farms and small villages in quiet valleys among the hills: at the best of times, there were not many of them, and now there were even fewer. It was not so very long ago that they had followed the call and risen with the rest of the Brigantes to hunt the Ninth Legion into the North. The loss of the men killed or seriously injured in that long, bitter, running fight was still felt. His five hundred spears had farms to tend, families to care for and many of them were not in their first youth. They were brave men who could be relied on to foil a cattle raid or even to follow Cunoval to war for a season, but only as long as they could return in time for the harvest.
Word came back to him from Angharad's cousins : they too had a heavy tax to pay and a huge levy of men to find - not so overwhelming as that expected of Cunoval, in their more populous lands, but still enough that they could not spare many men to help him in this need.
As instructed I have sent out messages to the local leaders of the Brigantes in relation to the planned auxiliary recruitment. These messengers have also carried tax assessments to the same men.
Several of these men have now appeared in Calacum to protest the assessments : I have attached a list of their names.
It is my opinion that these are wealthy men. They appeared with fine horses and jewellery. I believe they can support the assessments assigned to them. I am therefore holding them to the numbers originally planned. I think a little pressure will achieve the results we desire.
I will send a cohort on exercises through these remote lands to remind the barbarians of the majesty of Rome.
As per standing orders, I instructed our messengers to emphasize the benefits available to auxiliaries to make volunteering appear an attractive proposition.
I pray that you are enjoying the best of fortune and are in good health.
With a heavy heart, Cunoval returned to his home. He had left Llygad y Dydd at home, reasoning that matters could only get worse if she sensed his inner turmoil and bit some Roman official - not that he did not want to bite all of them himself by the time he left the place again. It was good at least to see her race up the track to greet him, striding ahead of the mob of her grown pups, and a motley selection of other hounds and curs running along behind, barking in excitement.
Angharad had sent out messages to the scattered farms to bring back all those men who could be spared, and to ask for the share of the cows for the taxes. At least he was spared that task, though he still had to go through his own herd and decide which of his own cows would be sent to Calacum, which was hard enough.
She had sent out another message too, and that was a terrible thing. She had called for a Druid, and after a while, word came back. It came quietly, circuitously, not mentioned in so many words, a single leaf of dried mistletoe, passed from hand to hand. Cunoval tried not to think about that. He hoped that he would not need to.
His sons came back from carrying messages, eyes bright and mouths twisted as if by a bad taste, but they obeyed their mother without comment, and for that Cunoval was grateful. It was hard enough having to give up so much without having to fight his family over it.
They managed, somehow to find the cows that Rome demanded in tax - well, not only cows. Much of their silver jewellery, all the honey, some particularly fine sheepskins that Angharad had been planning to use in Cunoval's own house, several bolts of the warm blue cloth that the women had spent two seasons weaving, and thankfully, a little cache of seawashed amber, sent by Angharad's uncle, who had lands on the East coast. Four of the horses that they had planned to sell to buy grain, oil and wine to make the winter a little warmer. At last the full complement of goods needed to pay the taxes was made up. It would be a harder winter than anyone had hoped, but the arrival of the amber at least meant that nobody was likely to starve.
The men were a different matter. They found twenty-seven who were willing to volunteer, with some encouragement - younger sons with an eye to adventure, landless men hoping to earn their way to farms of their own someday. Some persuasive talking and the offer of to share help with the heavy work if it was needed next year produced, somehow, a list of twenty-four slaves who Cunoval hoped would be fit and strong enough for the Romans to accept them. There was some muttering about that, but Cunoval was firm about it, and it died down. Fifty-one men. And that was all.
Angharad would not allow anyone to be pressed to go with them unwillingly, and in any case, Cunoval would have found it very hard to do so. He was very glad that that, at least, was not his choice to make, though he was not so happy about the Druid. The man had arrived on a tired pony from the South, looking like any farmer coming in to market, but Cunoval knew who he really was. He had spoken to Angharad privately. Cunoval had taken care to keep well out of the way, and had no idea what had been said.
The fifty-one went off at first light, not talking, faces serious, bare feet silent on the sheep-cropped turf. They did not take horses, there were not enough to spare, and in any case, they were none of them rich men. It was a damp day, that day, though not cold, and the mists hung low, so that the group were soon out of sight. Angharad and Cunoval stood with some of their neighbours by the empty animal pens, watching the departing men until they passed into the mist. Nobody said anything about the rest of the men required for the levy: they had spared all they could, and more : surely that would be enough?
It was three days before they learned that it was not enough.
They had known that it might not be. In the tall-roofed roundhouses, war spears were sharpened, blue shields checked and repainted, chariot fittings adjusted. Cunoval took the heavy bronze-studded leather war collars that his grand daughter had so carefully rubbed with dubbin, and put them around the necks of his great hounds with his own hands. The hounds were not really bred for war, any more than their light chariots were built for battle, but he knew the hounds would give him all that was in their loyal hearts to give.
He sent Bri's girls, his grand daughters, their mother and a few of the other women and younger children away by boat down the coast, to his cousins. With a bit of luck, that would be far enough to keep them safe. The old men who were too old to fight (and there were not many who would admit that), he sent away into the woods where normally they pastured the pigs, with the sheep and cattle, hoping that they would not be noticed there.
His eldest son Bri himself would not go, of course, and nor would Angharad. He tried to suggest it to her, but she looked at him and smiled so gently - not the flinty look this time, not the great lady, but the girl he had married, more than twenty years ago. The smile was still the same. She smiled, and did not leave, but welcomed each of Cunoval's five hundred spears as they came in, a handful at a time from the outlying farms, or perhaps twenty together from the villages, fathers with sons and neighbours riding in together.
Most of the fifty-one men he had sent to Calacum came back three days after they had left, around mid-day. They were damp with dew and sweat, and it was clear they had been running hard. There were watchers set out across the country all around by then, on every road that led to a Roman fort, and along the river too, so they were seen, and Cunoval,with the Druid on his pony on one side, and Llygad y Dydd in her wide war-collar trotting on the other, rode out himself to meet them.
"Not enough?" he asked - as if there could be any other explanation for the return of the levy.
" No, lord." said one of the men, Owain, breathing heavily - he was a younger son of one of Cunoval's near neighbours. He had been playing with Cunoval's own sons in the river such a short while ago, Cunoval remembered.
"They told us that the full two hundred must come, or that they would come and take them, and more besides. So we remembered what you said, and before they could take us, we ran. We waited a while to see if they would come after us, but they had not set out when the sun set yesterday. So we came back to warn you, and to defend our own people".
"Well done" said Cunoval, and his smile upon the brave young men was warm, even though his heart was cold within him. For nobody should know that their leader is afraid, in war.
He raised his voice so that they could all hear him clearly "Well done, all of you. Those who were slaves and have returned to us to defend your families will be set free, and every one of you shall have land of your own, afterwards, if we prevail. " They cheered - a little half-heartedly, but still, they raised their voices for him. Surely they must know that there would not be many left to farm the land, afterwards, Cunoval thought, but he tried not to let the thought show on his face.
On the way back, the Druid dismounted and walked with the returning men, speaking quietly with a few at a time. He did not make speeches. His voice was calm, steadying, and although Cunoval could not hear what he was saying to them, he knew that he was assuring them that all had been done that was needed to ask the favour of the goddess.
It was hard to believe that Brigantia would be able to bring them the victory this time, but now it came to it, it was good, Cunoval thought, to have the man there, ready to intercede with the gods, ready to guide them west of the sunset. Angharad had been right about that.
The Romans came four days later, just long enough for everyone to be very sick of waiting, and for an optimistic few to start wondering if they would come at all. Armoured, marching as they had seen the Ninth march once, in a great clanking iron-scaled dragon made of men, down into the valley along the main road from Calacum, with a troop on horseback behind them, red banners flying.
Cunoval harried them every step of the way. Riders came flying down out of the hills to attack and fade back before they could be brought to bay, spearmen were stationed in every copse and behind every wall. Attacks came out of the mist and faded into it, great hounds leaped savagely for their throats as spears stabbed unexpectedly from the bushes at any man who paused to relieve himself.
Cunoval's men brought the bridge down, so the soldiers had to stop at the river, and build a new way across. While Cunoval held them by the water, his youngest son swam horses and men across upstream and brought down a wild attack on the rear of the column. It took the Romans alarmingly little time to build themselves a new bridge, despite all of that.
Cunoval used every trick he had learned in over forty years of unquiet peace, everything they had done to shatter the Ninth and more. But this time, he was on his own. Angharad was no Lady of all Brigantia, to summon warbands from across the land, even if any help could have come in time - and the Wall lay North of him, blocking him from both allies and retreat. To the South, the great fortress of Deva held the roads closed. No help could come to them out of the mountains of the Eryri.
He brought out the chariots that he had kept in reserve, once they came over the river. His own team of fine matched greys in the centre, with his own son as charioteer, Bri's blacks to his left, his first spear's bays to his right, and all the horses and riders that were left with them, every one groomed as finely as if they had been going to the races. They hit the Roman flank as a thrown spear takes a man in the gut. Many soldiers died there, and for a moment Cunoval dared to hope.
Then the Romans rallied, trumpets braying roughly through the gloom. They reformed, and the Roman horse came in to their rear, and suddenly Brigantes were going down before the stabbing swords and before long the Roman forces stood together, almost as strong as before. Llygad y Dydd died there, by the river, with a Roman short sword in her chest and her teeth in a Roman throat, defending Bri and his charioteer after their chariot went down. Cunoval was almost too tired to weep for her by then.
His five hundred spears were all he had, and although the force attacking them was far less than a Legion, it was more than enough.
They made their last stand behind the turf walls of the dun, though there were not really enough of them left to hold it by then. Angharad came out to stand proudly at the centre of the defence, in her best red cloak, with the Druid beside her and Cunoval with him, blue shield raised. The Druid had taken off his farmer's gear at last, and was wearing a white tunic,so that all could see him easily. He was unarmed, but raised his voice, calling upon the Goddess to open the way West for the warriors, the hounds of the Goddess, who had fallen and would hunt a new trail now.
The Romans were readying to charge. Angharad put her hand on Cunoval's shoulder. She looked so beautiful to him, even though her dark hair was streaked with white and her hands were trembling a little.
"It's time for me to go" she said to him. He looked at her in anguished denial, but she shook her head "You know what they will do to everyone who is left alive after they come over the wall" she said. "I don't want to wait for that, Cunoval. I won't. Help me die now, and I'll wait for you, I promise."
"I won't be far behind." he said. "You'll wait for me? You promise? She nodded. And then he cut her throat. She made a little sound as she died, and it tore at his heart.
The first Roman who came at him, he killed and made that life an offering to the gods, to let him find Angharad again soon. The second and third came at him from both sides, and while he caught the blow of a tall, darkskinned soldier on his blue shield, the other man's sword found his neck.
I've tried to keep this close to the book (though I did have Jamie Bell play Esca as in the film, and therefore had Cunoval as a fairly small bloke too). Let me know if I've missed something obvious, either historically or in terms of the book setting, I'd be interested to hear.
At any rate, this is a period when the Roman army is expanding in size, and I wondered how many people would volunteer to serve for twenty-five years as soldiers in a place they'd never visited or seen and without ever seeing their families again, even if the money was good. Plus, the thinking seems to be that Celtic culture may have been quite hierarchical, without much emphasis on personal decisionmaking. 'Volunteer' may be a relative term.
Esca does not seem to have been enslaved during a huge general uprising like that of Boudicca : it sounds more a fairly small scale, fast moving thing like the attack on Isca Dumnoniorum. So I wanted a reason why that might happen, and an over-enthusiastic recruitment policy and culture clash seemed like it might work.
Names : I have in general gone for Welsh for names: I know it's a bit out of period but at least there is lots of vocabulary available! Llygad y Dydd means 'Daisy' and is a nod to all Sutcliff's various hounds that are called 'Margarita' or varients on that. (Marguerite is another name for the ox-eye or dog daisy). Angharad means 'beloved'. | 2019-04-25T09:04:46 | https://bunn.livejournal.com/267688.html |

Reviewing your writing or the post-writing phase takes place when you are done writing your paper. In our guide, we will give comprehensive and interesting information about the peculiarities of definition essay writing. Parallel structure is an important element of proper writing. Clauses A parallel structure that begins with clauses must keep on with clauses. In the same way, adopting structured writing really means being more structured than you were before.
Body paragraph size varies depending on the essay style: for example, the average paragraph length in business writing is generally 4-5 sentences, while the average paragraph length in academic writing is around 8-10 sentences. Will my writer revise my paper? Conclusion: How to End an Essay The final part of the basic essay structure is the conclusion. Never neglect a proofreading stage which allows a writer to eliminate all the mistakes and improve the grade. Freedom Definition Essay A proper topic is a huge step to writing an excellent definition essay. It simply means that its structure is not made explicit. My definition is a declaration of my interests; no more. It is the framework of the story.
Define the key strategies of the country development. You can talk to the writer as much as you want via your personal control panel. To better understand why essay format is so important, try to imagine an essay that starts out with body paragraphs, followed by a thesis and a conclusion. Not Parallel The tour guide said they would view sea lions, they would hunt seashells and could photograph the wildlife. It depends on the complexity of the chosen subject and the demands of your English tutor to this assignment.
If you have changed your mind about the nature and requirements of the order, and are essentially asking for a new paper to be written, then we will treat this as a new order. Structure controls the major elements of a story, including plot, characters, setting, and theme. We need to constrain it some way. What the role of the manager should be in the community. The second and third examples make the list parallel. Parallel structure should be used with infinitives.
Why is it important for different generations and various countries of the world no matter how developed the country is? Incorrect: I will not sing a song, nor dance. The length of such writing is about half a page because it is enough to give a comprehensive explanation. Not Parallel Joel packed sneakers, sweatpants and put in three pairs of socks. Base your article on trusted sources. The stepmother and stepsisters are not very nice to Cinderella, and they force her to do all of the chores. Essay writing is a common challenge for all students because some types of academic papers require in-depth research and the use of difficult terms. The words white, new, and hungry are all a class of word called an ; the words house, book, and dogs are all a class of word called a noun.
Humans have a unique capacity to go very rapidly through the complex hierarchically organized processes involved in speech production and perception. Our team of seasoned specialists is ready to help you tackle that challenge and create a top-notch essay from scratch. Parallelism definition: Parallelism is a grammatical term for arranging words of identical or equivalent syntactical constructions in corresponding clauses, phrases, lists, etc. Rather than authors deciding ad hoc on the constraints their content will follow and recording them as they go, it is often useful to establish a set of constraints that authors must follow while writing and to establish them up front before the content is written. If a sentence begins with a dependent clause, note the comma after this clause. On the management front, suppose we manage a collection of content that includes recipes and we want to select all the recipes that are good matches for a Pinot Noir.
At midnight, Cinderella has to rush home, and she loses her shoe. The same way you placed your order: online. Practice makes perfect, and you will level up your writing skills with time. How to deal with corporate politics. In order to find the meaning in writing, you should look for the theme.
In fact, this frequently turns out to be the case. Of course, any piece of content created on a computer is stored in a format that is readable by machines. What is a Definition Essay? Incorrect: Mary wanted to make sure she made her presentation creatively, effectively and persuaded others. This is also where the idea of metadata comes in. Cinderella is very disappointed until the arrival of her fairy godmother, who uses her magic to dress her and transports her to the ball. Any piece of recorded content has some structure for some purpose. | 2019-04-18T13:16:17 | http://cityraven.com/define-structure-in-writing.html |

Sherlock Holmes describes Wiggins and his baker street irregulars as his unseen eyes and ears across London.
Call me slow, of you wish, but it occurs to me the to Benedict Cumberbatches Sherlock his baker street irregulars are all who may follow him on Twitter or have reason to send him a friend request on Facebook or Google plus.
Where the canonical Sherlock Holmes had a small band of Street Arabs to use Watson’s description the modern Sherlock Holmes has merely to send a tweet, to get instant news, and where the original version, could only wait on site at 221b Baker street for news the modern Sherlock could get news on the run straight to his smart phone.
It isn’t even the matter of fiction for if you follow your local police force they regularly tweet e-fits of suspects or of someone they need to identify or of a missing child and it can go viral minutes.
Social media at its best is a tool to value to communicate. With people who in some cases you may never meet or rarely at least. At its worst social media causes trouble and us the quickest form to start rumours and slander people.
If Sherlock Holmes had social media he would have cleared up the adventure of the Greek interpreter in minutes and Mr milas would never have been endangered. Holmes would also have the power of Google to instantly identify his suspects and be able to do background checks in seconds. Say of Stapleton upon realising the link to the Baskervilles.
I know of course that this has already occurred to the ardent Sherlock fans. But then had this power been available even Mycroft could have been a successful Sleuth. He would be able to do it from his chair at the Diogenes club. | 2019-04-23T17:56:09 | http://www.allornothingblog.co.uk/2017/08/10/social-media-modernising-baker-street-irregulars/ |
Cheeky Doll blazer (c/o). 2020AVE dress (c/o). ShopAKIRA clutch (c/o).
Excuse the windswept hair, it was quite the breezy day haha. This is my Thanksgiving outfit! It's the perfect fall/winter/holiday look, and is almost casual but for the crisp white blazer that polishes everything off.
Even though I don't personally agree with Thanksgiving Day's historic roots, I still think there's great merit in a day when people go out of their way to be thankful. I know everyone says trite things like, "You should be thankful everyday, not just on Thanksgiving," but c'mon. Honestly, that's not something we keep in mind amidst the hustle and bustle of our daily routine. It's unfortunate, but we've become so busy and caught up in our fast-paced lives that we forget the little, yet meaningful, things. It's nice that for a day, the whole nation stops what they're doing to reflect on what they take for granted. I'm thankful to be alive. I'm thankful for all seven of my wonderful dogs. I'm thankful for my friends; I deeply appreciate that every single one of them is someone I can learn from. I was born into extremely unfortunate circumstances and my family and I never had it easy, but I'm thankful that in recent years, our lives have been turning around. I really feel like 2013 was the turning point for us, and I'm thankful that we are making our dreams come true, together. Last, but certainly not least, I'm eternally thankful for you, my readers. You made this blog what it is! Not a day goes by that I don't think fondly of you guys and want to hug you to pieces.
I love it that it is a dress!
I just did an outfit post in this flannel too haha dinner soooooon! | 2019-04-18T21:13:56 | http://www.feralcreature.com/2013/11/im-thankful-for.html |
