The Archives and Collections Committee of the Historical Metallurgy Society was set up in 2008 to facilitate the management of its various archives and collections. There is a Memorandum of Agreement between the HMS and the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust (IGMT) where the archives and collections are housed. Follow the links below for further information.
The HMS archive includes the records of the Society itself and other historical documents.
The Tylecote papers comprise a substantial body of notes and other written material amassed by Ronnie Tylecote. The papers have recently been catalogued and a list of the papers is available to download here.
Ronnie Tylecote's collection of metallographic mounts is subject to a Memorandum of Agreement between HMS and the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art (RLAHA) at Oxford University who are housing and managing it for HMS. Dr Aurélie Cuenod at the RLAHA produced the original online catalogue, complete with scans of Tylecote's notebooks. A new version of this database is here.
The HMS Library consists of books, pamphlets and leaflets that have been donated to the Society.
The National Slag Collection, which is the property of the IGMT, was formed from several collections (including those of founding members of the HMS); it is stored at Ironbridge. The procedure and assessment criteria for receiving new acquisitions into the NSC can be found here.
HMS and IGMT were involved with the'Who Cares?" project which explored the role of enthusiasm, creativity and affection in the stewardship of less well-known collections. The Slag Collection provided one of the case studies.
Work is ongoing on the archives and collections if you are interested in joining the committee or attending a Study day please contact ACC Chair accchair@historicalmetallurgy.org.

Outback Steakhouse is famous for its greasy, deep-fried, sodium-filled, and sauce-smothered offerings. But there are healthy options.
Though lobster was once considered a "garbage food," now it's looked at like a delicacy. There are all kinds of ways to prepare it, most of which involve mayo-soaked lobster rolls and overwhelming mac and cheese. But steamed lobster is relatively low-cal — Outback Steakhouse allows you to order 2 steamed lobster tails, which together are just 480 calories.

Original fine art prints are an exceptionally versatile choice for any interior design project – whether you are a designer working on a commercial or residential interior, or simply decorating your own home. Not only are fine art prints an economical choice for any interior design project, but when sourcing original artwork you have the opportunity to support Canadian artists. As Canada's leading printmaking centre, the Open Studio Print Sales Gallery represents over 150 Canadian artists whose artwork can be found in individual and corporate collections the world over, from prestigious addresses such as Canada House (London, U.K.) to even the most modest, private homes in Toronto.
Open Studio Print Sales Gallery is hosting a special presentation and studio tour, Enhance Your Interiors with Original Fine Art Prints, on Saturday, January 21, 2017, 10am-12pm, showcasing a selection of corporate and residential interior design projects featuring prints by Open Studio Print Sales Gallery artists. Original prints will be on view to see first-hand the broad range of techniques, themes, and aesthetic approaches that can be found across the medium of printmaking. There will also be a brief tour of our printmaking studio and overview of printmaking techniques: screenprints, etchings (intaglio), and lithographs.
In addition, the group exhibition 'Design in Printmaking: Lorna Livey, Laurynas Navidauskas, Shogo Okada and Yorodeo,' will be on view at Print Sales Gallery during the Toronto Design Offsite Festival.
This group exhibition features original prints by Canadian artists whose work has a design aesthetic. Each work has a strong sense of design that is either intentional or unintentional. These artists utilize some elements of design—line, shape, form, colour and space—blurring the boundaries of art and design.

The treatment for a hairline, or stress, fracture begins by elevating the affected area and applying ice, according to WebMD. Patients sometimes take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or aspirin, to relieve pain. In certain cases, doctors use splints or casts to immobilize the bone.
After swelling has subsided, patients with hairline fractures are allowed to put some weight on the area, states WebMD. Crutches or canes are often helpful for this. By the end of two weeks, individuals put full weight on the bone, because this speeds up the healing process. However, patients must not participate in the activity that led to the fracture for six to eight weeks. Doing so lengthens the healing period and sometimes causes permanent damage.

Do Chubby Babies Make for Chubby Toddlers and Overweight Adults?
80beatsBy Jennifer WelshJanuary 4, 2011 1:44 AM
Most children shed their "baby fat." But researchers say that in more and more cases, chubby babies (which are about 30 percent of all babies) are primed for obesity later in life.
"We are certainly not saying that overweight babies are doomed to be obese adults," study researcher Brian Moss, PhD, of Detroit's Wayne State University tells WebMD. "But we did find some evidence that being overweight at 9 months of age is a predictor of being overweight or obese later in childhood." [Web MD]
The study followed a group of 7,500 babies born in 2001, classifying them by their position on the baby growth chart as "at risk" (those falling in the 85th to 95th percentile weight group) or "obese" (the 95th and above percentile). When the babies were nine months old and again at the age of two years, the parents filled out surveys about their child's length and weight, their socioeconomic status, and race. The researchers found that 32 percent of the 9-month-olds were overweight, and 34 percent of the toddlers were. The study
was published in the American Journal of Health Promotion. The baby growth chart
was created with baby weights from 1963 to 1994, but now almost double the number of babies (30 instead of 15 percent) fall into the overweight group. The new study did find that children can move between weight categories during their early years: Some of the chubbiest 9-month-olds returned to a normal weight before their second birthdays, while some from the healthy weight category moved up to a heftier weight class.
"It means that in that age group weight is a lot more fluid than it is in an obese 14-year-old," said Dr. Goutham Rao, clinical director of the Weight Management and Wellness Center at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. "And that means that these children are not necessarily condemned to be obese." [msnbc.com]
Female babies and Asian/Pacific Islanders were at the least risk of being overweight, while Hispanics and children from low-income families were at higher risk.
At age 2, 40% of children living in the lowest income homes were obese or at risk for obesity, compared to 27% of children living in the highest income homes. And 40% of Hispanic children were obese or at risk, compared to 31% of whites and 35% of blacks. [Web MD]
The researchers aren't pushing for parents to put babies on "diets"; experts note that infants who are exclusively feeding on milk should never be denied breastfeeding or a bottle. But the study does indicate a need for educational campaigns about childhood nutrition, as just a small amount of extra-caloric food has a large impact on a small child's diet. Previous studies have shown that breastfeeding alone prevents obesity, but parents should also pay close attention to the solid foods they introduce their toddler to. For example, making sure that toddlers get enough fiber (by serving fruit instead of fruit juice) helps keep them at a healthy weight.
"You would be surprised at some of the foods and drinks kids are given," Rao said. "You see a lot of very young children eating French fries, because that's what their parents are eating. Sometimes you'll even see parents putting regular soda into a baby's bottle." [msnbc.com]

Q: VB.net "There is already an open DataReader associated with this Connection which must be closed first." when entering Visual Studio Debug My boyfriend and I have spent the last 2 hours trying to get this to work, we have tried putting all the data connections into try's, changing the the connections to gloabal's but whatever we do we end up back at the same problem. The page will load fine when loaded via localhost, but when we try to get in via debug it hits this error.
If we put the code that fails into a try it goes through each connection and then will load, but each part will have been caught in the catch.

An exception of type 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException' occurred in MySql.Data.dll but was not handled in user code
There is already an open DataReader associated with this Connection which must be closed first.

Here's the code, each sub or function that uses MySQL connection has a close in the same as this function. We are out of ideas to what it causing it, as only does it we try and enter debug in Visual Studio.
    Public Function getID()

        Dim cmd As New MySqlCommand()
        Dim reader As MySqlDataReader
        Dim rtr As Integer

        cmd.CommandText = "MySQLSTATEMENT"
        cmd.Connection = CON_STRING

        Connection.Open()
        reader = cmd.ExecuteReader
        If (reader.HasRows()) Then
            reader.Read()
            rowID = reader.Item(0)
        End If

        Connection.Close()
        reader.Close()
        cmd.Dispose()
    End Function

A: You Should Close reader first and then you can close the connection.
I would recommend Using Statement for connection that will take care of closings the connection.

Stocks Finish Slightly Higher Wednesday
1/31/2018 | 4:26 PM CST
(AP) -- U.S. stocks overcame a brief stumble to close slightly higher Wednesday, snapping a two-day losing streak.
The dip came after the Federal Reserve released its latest statement on interest rate policy and the economy, in which the central bank signaled that it expects inflation to pick up this year. The Fed, as expected, held off on raising interest rates.
Stocks bounced back in the last hour of trading, with gains by technology companies outweighing losses in health care and other sectors.
The latest batch of strong earnings from big companies, including Boeing, helped put investors back in a buying mood a day after the market had its biggest drop since August.
"The markets have turned around," said Erik Davidson, chief investment officer for Wells Fargo Private Bank. "Many people have been waiting for it to dip as it's marched higher and higher, and we finally had two days of weakness, particularly yesterday."
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 1.38 points, or 0.1 percent, to 2,823.81. The Dow Jones industrial average added 72.50 points, or 0.3 percent, to 26,149.39. The Nasdaq composite climbed 9 points, or 0.1 percent, to 7,411.48. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks gave up 7.83 points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,574.98.
All told, the indexes ended January with solid gains.
Boeing climbed 4.9 percent after the aerospace giant's latest results topped Wall Street's expectations. The stock, which has been the biggest gainer in the Dow over the past year, added $16.66 to $354.37.
Electronic Arts led the rally in technology companies, jumping 7 percent after the video game maker forecast quarterly earnings and sales that were well ahead of what analysts expected. The stock was the biggest gainer in the S&P 500, rising $8.26 to $126.96.
Some 80 percent of the companies that have reported earnings in recent weeks have beat expectations. Typically, it's around two-thirds. Management teams are also touting stronger sales growth than in previous quarters.
"The combination is really helping drive the market higher and making investors feel more confident about the outlook for 2018," said Kate Warne, investment strategist at Edward Jones.
The market was higher for most of the day but briefly gave up its gains after the Fed released its economic and interest rate policy update.
The central bank left its benchmark interest rate unchanged in a still-low range of 1.25 percent to 1.5 percent and signaled that it expects to resume raising rates gradually to reflect an improving, healthy job market and economy.
The Fed also said that it expects inflation to finally pick up this year and to stabilize around the Fed's target level of 2 percent. In its previous statement, the Fed had predicted that inflation would remain below its target rate.
That revision appeared to put off some investors, triggering the sell-off that pulled stock indexes into the red until the last hour of trading.
"Investors have continued to think that inflation will remain below 2 percent, and the Fed is more clearly indicating that they think inflation will pick up to the 2 percent range," Warne said. "And that's led to higher long-term rates and, as a result, stocks have moved down today."
Health care stocks posted the biggest decline for the second day in a row.
Eli Lilly lost $4.64, or 5.4 percent, to $81.45, while Gilead Sciences gave up $3.49, or 4 percent, to $83.80.
Some companies' quarterly report cards failed to impress traders.
Juniper Networks slumped 7.7 percent after the provider of network equipment forecast quarterly results that were well below what Wall Street analysts expected. The stock fell more than any other company in the S&P 500, shedding $2.17 to $26.15.
Textron shares also fell after the industrial conglomerate's results fell of forecasts. The stock slid $1.51, or 2.5 percent, to $58.67.
Bond prices didn't move much. The yield on the 10-year Treasury remained at 2.72 percent after briefly moving higher.
The prospect for stronger economic growth, both in the U.S. and abroad, has helped drive bond yields higher in recent months. This week yields have hovered at the highest level since April 2014. Rising yields make bonds more appealing to investors seeking income, but they can also lead to higher financing costs for companies, homebuyers and other borrowers.
The dollar rose to 109.11 yen from 108.78 yen on Tuesday. The euro edged up to $1.2410 from $1.2404.
Gold rose $3.60 to $1,339 an ounce. Silver added 18 cents to $17.24 an ounce. Copper gained 1 cent to $3.20 a pound.
Oil prices reversed an early slide. Benchmark U.S. crude rose 23 cents to settle at $64.73 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, used to price international oils, gained 3 cents to $69.05 a barrel in London.
In other futures trading, wholesale gasoline added 1 cent to $1.91 a gallon. Heating oil was little changed at $2.07 a gallon. Natural gas fell 20 cents, or 6.3 percent, to $3 per 1,000 cubic feet.
Germany's DAX fell 0.1 percent, while France's CAC 40 gained 0.1 percent. London's FTSE 100 fell 0.7 percent. In Asia, Tokyo's Nikkei 225 fell 0.8 percent, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.9 percent. Sydney's S&P-ASX 200 added 0.3 percent.

Does It Snow In Monaco?
Snowfall in Monaco
Can you ski in Monaco?
Monaco is often described as the jewel of the French Riviera, set on the gorgeous shores of the Mediterranean. A welcoming country for travelers and business people.
The climate is Mediterranean, with warm dry summers and mild rainy winters. There are no snowfalls in Monaco. The city has a sunny average of 316 days per year.
Anchored at the southwestern tip of France and bordered by Italy on three sides, the Principality of Monaco is the second-smallest independent country in the world, smaller than even Vatican City.
Monaco's average temperatures have many things to consider. With a small area and the Mediterranean Sea acting as a redirector for air currents coming from northern Africa, there is not a big difference between winter and summer.
There is no real snowfall in Monaco. Located on the French Riviera, Monaco's climate is Mediterranean with mild winters and hot summers.
The average temperature in July is 82 Fahrenheit, (82C) making it warmer than most of France, while January's temperatures are a cool 55 Fahrenheit (13C).
Monaco's location in sunny south-western Europe will never fail to warm you.
With daylight savings time, the sun doesn't set until nearly 10 pm in the summer.
Of course, the weather is unpredictable and can be windy and rainy at any time, but when the sun is out, you have a warm Mediterranean climate.
Not in Monaco, no, but the nearest ski resort is Isola 2000, 68 miles (110km) from Monaco.
If you're looking for great ski deals and a resort with guaranteed snow, Isola 2000 is the place to choose in the French Alps.
With more than 68 miles (110km) of ski runs served by 120 snow-making cannons and two parks, it's easy to enjoy proper skiing whatever the weather.
The resort focuses on high-quality, highest standards. Features include 187 ski runs, 40 pistes for all abilities, just over 62 miles (100km) of trails, and 18 cable cars and lifts. Isola 2000, just two hours away in the heart of the French Alps, is one of the most sought-after resorts for skiing.


this week I'm reading Dodger by Terry Pratchett (published in September 2012). It's a standalone book that doesn't belong to the Discworld series. Instead it's a YA Historical Fantasy that just came out in paperback, and I really recommend it!
Seventeen-year-old Dodger may be a street urchin, but he gleans a living from London's sewers, and he knows a jewel when he sees one. He's not about to let anything happen to the unknown girl–not even if her fate impacts some of the most powerful people in England.
This book has everything I love: Victorian London, history mixed with fantasy, a wonderful main character, an incredible supporting cast, and a great mystery. If you like this genre, I recommend it!
What are YOU reading this week? Feel free to let me know in the comment section!
This entry was posted in Book of the week and tagged 2012 release, Book of the Week, Dodger, EM Castellan, Terry Pratchett, Victorian Fantasy, Victorian London, YA Books, YA Historical Fantasy, Young Adult literature.
I'm definitely going to have to take a look at this one. The Artful Dodger was always my favorite character.

Vigil Held Outside Home Of Needham Rabbi After 3 Fires Intentionally Set At Local Jewish Institutions
<iframe width="100%" height="124" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://player.wbur.org/news/2019/05/17/synagogue-house-fires-needham-arlington"></iframe>

Community members gathered for a vigil Saturday night outside the home of a rabbi who was affected by one of three fires intentionally set at local Jewish institutions in Arlington and Needham in the past week.
The vigil was held outside the Chabad Jewish Center in Needham, where Rabbi Mendy Krinsky and his family live. The center was set on fire Thursday.
The Chabad Center for Jewish Life in Arlington, home to Rabbi Avi Bukiet and his family, was also set on fire twice — first on Saturday, May 11, and again on Thursday.
No one was injured. Authorities investigating the fires said they cannot definitively say whether the fires in the two towns are connected.
Bukiet said he's shocked and rattled that someone intentionally set fire to his home and a place where people come to pray. But, he said his family won't retreat.
"Our message is and will always be open doors," Bukiet said. "We are opening our doors to everyone — anyone who wants to study, anyone who wants to learn, anyone who wants to have a little piece of spirituality, Judaism in your life. We will be there for you."
State and federal investigators also are on the case. Law enforcement officials said repeatedly that the Jewish community has their support.
"Members of the Needham Police Department stand and support with you," said Chief John Schlittler. "While many of the facts and circumstances remain to be discovered, we ask that all of you be vigilant and report anything suspicious."
Needham police said while no verbal or written threats or graffiti were involved, the Needham fire is being investigated as a hate crime. State and federal officials also joined the investigation.
"These are extremely concerning incidents in which an innocent family has had the safety and security of their home compromised by someone else's violent actions," acting Arlington Police Chief Julie Flaherty said in a statement. "The Arlington Police Department will use every resource at its disposal to find the facts and ensure that any suspect or suspects are brought to face justice."
Investigators have surveillance footage of someone they're calling "a person of interest." The video shows a person walking away from the scene of the fire Thursday night in Arlington.
A combined $21,000 reward is being offered by the Anti-Defamation League, state fire officials and the Massachusetts chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those behind the fires.

'No Excuses' for Eagles as They Prepare for Virtual NFL Draft
Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles brass won't be gathering in a 'draft room' this year as the coronavirus pandemic changes the NFL Draft
By Dave Zangaro	• Published April 17, 2020 • Updated on April 17, 2020 at 9:14 am
A couple years ago, Howie Roseman had Eagles vice president of football technology Pat Dolan visit his house to outfit his home office with the same equipment and access Roseman already had at the NovaCare Complex.
Roseman wanted to pull up game tape late at night and didn't have it, so Dolan hooked him up with "all the bells and whistles" at home.
That's coming in handy right now.
While there are still plenty of things that can go wrong in next week's completely remote NFL draft, at least the Eagles' GM is comfortable with the equipment in front of him. And in recent weeks, the Eagles' IT department has worked hard to give all its front office members and coaches the equipment they need for an NFL draft in the COVID-19 age.
"There's really no excuses for our setup right now," Roseman said on a conference call with reporters Thursday. "It's incredible. It's a great tribute to our staff to put us in a position that has really been seamless."
If the Eagles had their way, they'd be preparing to spend the three days of the 2020 draft in their two-year-old state-of-the-art draft war room at the NovaCare Complex. Instead, they'll be spread out across the region at their own homes, as mandated by the NFL to enforce social distancing guidelines.
But they feel prepared.
Vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl has taken over a first-floor room in his family home that usually belongs to his wife for business purposes. He called the Eagles' IT folks "rock stars" for getting them draft ready.

Joe Banner Reveals Which QB Eagles Considered Drafting Instead of McNabb
"This has been a seamless transition," Weidl said. "We have been efficient, have been able to get our work done, the connectivity we felt as one with our group last week, 30-people plus on the calls, it was outstanding. It was a great transition and we have been very efficient, very fortunate."
The Eagles plan to go through several mock draft scenarios to test equipment and communication before the start of the real draft next Thursday night. And the NFL will hold a mock draft on Monday with all 32 teams to test communication between the league (Roger Goodell will be announcing picks from his basement) and individual teams. Roseman joked they'll "have fun making some mock trades."
As for real trades this year, Roseman doesn't anticipate these unique circumstances limiting them. For now, the pre-draft trade talks are going as they normally would.
Normal is the goal. As different at this year's draft will be, the Eagles are dedicated to making it as normal as possible. That means the same people in the same roles. Director of college scouting Anthony Patch will still be keeping an eye on the picks in front of them as he has for two decades and the folks who normally make trade calls will still make those trade calls.
"We're going to try to keep it as normal as possible on the communication level as good as we can," Roseman said.

The Eagles began working remotely on March 13, so they've had plenty of practice. They went through all of the early free agency period working at home and the draft is just the next step. Roseman called Microsoft Teams a "godsend" and on draft night, they'll use it to break their staff up into different groupings.
Roseman and Weidl both said they feel fortunate that they've been able to focus on their jobs despite what's going on in the country and the world. The Eagles realize the draft can provide a distraction for their fans. They appreciate that and aren't taking the responsibility lightly.
Would the Eagles prefer to be operating under normal circumstances? Sure, but nothing is normal right now. They accept that.
"Again, we are not making any excuses for this," Roseman said. "There are people who are dealing with a lot worse than we are dealing with, and we feel fortunate that we have this opportunity to improve our football team next week."

A Floral Cake...made out of SOAP!
Amy's Warden does a monthly soap challenge and I was excited to see that this month's challenge was to pipe soap like you would with icing and make soap flowers. There was a focus on Russian Piping tips as well. I ran with that theme and made an entire cake out of soap in the style of a naked wedding cake. Everything you see is cold process soap!

By far one of the coolest ideas anyone can ever come up with, Sili pints are virtually indestructible. They are able to take any beating you can give to them, and still will manage to keep you drink cold and keep a refreshing taste. ξThey are able to withstand temperatures up to 600 degrees, therefore making an excellent tool to boil an egg in if you in the back country, or etc.


It is genuinely sad. The woman who tried to help by stopping a possible crime ends up receiving death threats and denounced as a racist.
911: Were they white, black or Hispanic?
Whalen: Umm, well there were two larger men, one looked kind of Hispanic but I'm not really sure. And the other one entered and I didn't see what he looked like at all.
And even then she didn't say that the men were black.
But that doesn't stop the REAL racists from attacking her.
Lucia Whalen tearfully said, "I was called racist – I was scorned and ridiculed because of things I never said." And the people who made her cry, the people who attacked a woman who performed a public service by getting involved and calling the police when she witnessed a possible crime in progress, are the ones who are racist.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — The woman who dialed 911 to report a possible break-in at the home of black Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. said Thursday she was pained to be wrongly labeled a racist based on words she never said and hoped the recently released recording of the call would put the controversy to rest.
Cambridge police Commissioner Robert Haas acknowledged that the police report contains a reference to race, but said the report is merely a summary of events. The arresting officer, Sgt. James Crowley, has said his information on the race of the suspects came during a brief encounter with Whalen outside Gates' house; she contradicted that Thursday, saying she made no such description.
The arrest of Gates for disorderly conduct in his own home by a white police officer sparked a national debate over racial profiling and police conduct. The controversy intensified when President Obama said police "acted stupidly" when they arrested Gates, his friend.
Gates has said he was outraged and has demanded an apology from Crowley; Crowley said he followed protocol and responded to Gates' "tumultuous behavior" appropriately.
Whalen, a Harvard alumni magazine employee who is a first-generation Portuguese-American, said she lived in fear during the immediate aftermath of the arrest when she was dogged for comment and maligned based on the information attributed to her in the police report.
She said she felt more comfortable speaking publicly after the tapes were released. She refused to answer any questions about the police report or what she saw that day.
Lucia Whalen was raised by her parents to love one another, to be kind to strangers, and to not judge people based on their race, ethnicity, or any other feature but their character. Martin Luther King would have applauded her as everything he wanted to see in an American.
Unfortunately, we now have men like Henry Louis Gates, Jeremiah Wright, and the close personal friend of both men, Barack Obama. And they are men who seem to have King's standard turned completely around.
Gates describes his and his mother's experience with hard-core racism – the labeling of an entire race of people as "devils" – as a spiritual epiphany bordering on a religious experience. And what chance did Sgt. James Crowley have when a 911 call reporting a possible break-in have when he encountered such fanatic racist zeal?
And there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever that Sgt. James Crowley – who appears to be a model police officer – thinks anywhere nearly as poorly of black men as Henry Louis Gates thinks of white men. And it has been Gates who has made the incident not only racial but racist since the moment he first laid eyes on Sgt. Crowley. Because Gates was a racist since long before the two men ever met.
That's nice, Barry. Are you saying that even an outstanding (white) police officer is still racially biased, or are you saying that the African American community is so trapped in racism – like Obama's own close personal friend 'Skip' Gates – that it doesn't really matter how racially sensitive a white officer is?
Maybe Obama is saying that Sgt. Crowley, as a "typical white person," has his racism "bred into him"? (Didn't Jimmy the Greek get fired for saying something about racial "breeding"?). Perhaps THAT is why Obama was so quick to jump to the conclusion of racial bias – even right after admitting that he didn't know any of the facts of the case – in his now infamous press conference?
Let us not forget, in the first Jeremiah Wright sermon Barack Obama ever heard he heard Wright describe a world where "where white folks' greed runs a world in need." And something clicked for Obama so powerfully that the Rev. Jeremiah Wright became his pastor, his mentor, and his spiritual leader for the next 23 years. And Barack Obama voluntarily submitted himself and his family to plenty of sermons demonizing the white man in the years since.
I listened to the tapes of the hateful sermons that came out of Barack Obama's Trinity United Church, and I couldn't get past the question, "How could Obama stay there for so long?" Obama said that none of those hateful messages impacted him, but there is little question that they in fact affected him deeply.
And there are plenty of slimebags of both races too. A Boston police officer who had nothing whatsoever to do with the Gates arrest called Gates a disgusting racist slur which I shall not repeat in an email.
There are racist white people. There are racist black people. And God knows we don't need any more of either. The question is, who showed their racism in THIS case? Lucia Whalen and Sgt. James Crowley, or Henry Louis Gates and Barack Obama?
This isn't about whites vs. blacks. Rather, it's about a terribly bitter attitude that holds on to racism and officially institutes that racism into social policy – this time just in reverse. It's perfectly okay to embrace naked racism, as long as you are a member of a "minority." It's okay to embrace a "wise Latina" who thinks her decisions are better than those of a "white male"; but a white male who thinks the same of a minority be destroyed. It's okay to have a "Black Caucus" in Congress; just don't you DARE have a white one. And as a result the racism of that white Boston cop is rightly damned; the racism of a black Harvard African-American Studies professor is wrongly celebrated.
During his campaign, Barack Obama presented himself as a man who transcended race, and stood as the man who could heal any and all divides. He spent 23 years in a racist church that demonized 'white America,' but we believed him because he gave a nice speech. He selected a racially biased "wise Latina woman" who trampled on the rights of white firefighters in New Haven, Connecticut. But that doesn't appear to matter, either. And now he's demonstrating that he holds the same racially biased attitutudes as his "friends." And he doesn't transcend anything.
That shows in a CNN survey of African-Americans and how they feel about race relations.
It is frankly amazing to consider that Barack Obama – the first black president of the United States – hasn't done ANYTHING to change the racial attitude of African-Americans. And the only possible conclusion is that this president has utterly squandered a truly historic opportunity due to his own increasingly apparent personal inadequacies.
When Obama, Gates, and Crowley (who is reportedly bringing a lawyer and a union representative to the meeting) get together for a "beer," you can bet that there will be a lot of empty and hollow "just words" floating around. This entire meeting is nothing more than a political attempt by Obama to fix his own major screw-up.


The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) is a branch of the monotheistic Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition within Hinduism dating back 5000 years to Lord Krishna Himself. ISKCON was established in the West in 1966 by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (Srila Prabhupada) and has since developed into a worldwide confederation of over 500 temples, centers, communities, schools, and restaurants with some 250,000 devotees. The mission of this nonsectarian, monotheistic movement is to promote the well-being of society by teaching the science of Krishna consciousness according to Bhagavad-gita and other ancient scriptures.
To systematically propagate spiritual knowledge to society at large and to educate all people in the techniques of spiritual life, in order to check the imbalance of values in life and to achieve real unity and peace in the world.
To propagate a consciousness of Krishna as it is revealed in the Bhagavad-gita and the Srimad-Bhagavatam.
To bring the members of the society together with each other and nearer to Krishna, the prime entity, and thus to develop the idea, within the members and humanity at large, that each soul is part and parcel of the Personality of Godhead, Krishna.
To teach and encourage the Sankirtan movement, congregational chanting of the holy name of God, as revealed in the teaching of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
To erect for the members, and for society at large, a holy place of transcendental pastimes, dedicated to the personality of Krishna.
To bring the members closer together for the purpose of teaching a simpler and more natural way of life.
With a view towards achieving the aforementioned purposes, to publish and distribute periodicals, magazines, books and other writings.
In 1965, the prominent emissary of India's spiritual teachings, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada Prabhupada (1896-1977) brought Sri Chaitanya's movement to the West and founded ISKCON in New York City under seemingly humble circumstances.
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1896-1977), founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, is the extraordinary person who dedicated his life to teaching the world about Krishna consciousness, ancient India's most noble message of spiritual wisdom.
In 1965, at the age of 69, on the order of his spiritual master Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura, representing a line of teachers dating back to Lord Krishna Himself, Srila Prabhupada sailed from India to New York to share Lord Krishna's message. He brought with him a trunk of books, $7 in change, and the firm faith that the holy name of Krishna would transform the hearts of people he would meet. In the years that followed, he founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), traveled and taught throughout the world, opened more than 100 temples and inspired thousands of devotees.	He wrote over forty volumes of translation and commentary on such classics as Srimad-Bhagavatam (Bhagavata Purana), Chaitanya-charitamrita, and Bhagavad-gita.
He wrote not only as a scholar but as a consummate practitioner, teaching by the example of his life. Throughout his works, Srila Prabhupada's mood was to convey the natural meaning of the scriptures without far-fetched interpretations, giving us an authentic rendition of the Vedic conclusions on such important topics as the purpose of human life, the nature of the soul, consciousness, and God.
From 1966 to 1977, despite his advanced age, Srila Prabhupada circled the globe fourteen times on lecture tours that took him to six continents. Though no longer physically present among us, he lives forever in his instructions, books, videos and audio recordings, and in the hearts of those whose lives he touched.

UPM, the world's second biggest forest company, leads the integration of bio and forest industries into an innovation-driven, resource-efficient future.
UPM's new headquarters, Biofore House is the result of international architecture competition winning entry. It is located in the heart of Helsinki in close vicinity of architectural masterpieces designed by the likes of Alvar Aalto, Eliel Saarinen and Stephen Holl.
Biofore House was designed to include sustainability features that align with UPM's dedication to environmental responsibility and energy efficiency. Biofore is all about innovation, collaboration, sharing ideas and open communication. Those things were also an important part of the design and planning process, through which the building has earned the LEED® Certified Platinum building certification.
In designing the new head office, we drew heavily on the input of the people whose future place of work the building was to be. The extraordinarily close and intensive collaboration we had throughout the process with UPM's management and people from all functions, including IT and Human Resources, can be seen in many aspects of the building: From the integration of modern IT-systems into the building's "nervous system" to the all-important details such as the office furniture used in the workstations. People were given choices. Their voice was heard. And their opinions were respected.
The main spatial element of the interior is the atrium, which allows for communication and gives the building an integral part of its identity. The layout of the office floors is dynamic and enables impromptu brainstorming and one-on-one meetings for informal testing of new ideas "in statu nascendi".
Biofore House is a timeless icon and a symbol of innovation in the modern forest industry spearheaded by UPM. And it goes without saying that the UPM's own wood-based products and biomaterials are used extensively both inside and on the exterior. The operating costs of the new building are as much as one third smaller than UPM's former head office.

What Is a Cath Lab Technologist?

Job Descriptions •
A cath lab tech assists cardiologists who perform cardiac catheterizations and other heart procedures. Although the majority of technicians work in hospitals, they're also employed in outpatient facilities, doctor's office and laboratories. If you're considering a career as cath lab technician, you'll need good interpersonal skills, proficiency in operating specialized medical equipment and the ability to remain calm during stressful situations.
Depending on the facility, a cath lab technician may also be known as a cardiac catheterization technologist or a cardiovascular technician. The technicians prepare patients for procedures, explain what will happen during tests and procedures, and provide a little reassurance if patients are nervous or upset.
They often assist in cardiac catheterization, a procedure used to assess heart muscle function, detect blockages, open blocked arteries, and determine if the patient has heart disease. The imaging procedure involves inserting a hollow catheter into a blood vessel in the arm or leg. Once the catheter is in place, it's slowly passed through the network of vessels and into the heart.
Cath techs clean and shave the insertion area before the procedure begins and monitor the patient's heart rate and other vital signs during the catheterization. They're trained to detect even slight abnormalities and report them to the cardiologist immediately.
Cardiologists and cath lab techs take precautions to prevent problems during procedures, but complications may still occur in a small percentage of cases. Whether a patient experiences an allergic reaction to anesthesia, bleeds excessively or experiences a heart attack, techs must remain calm. If they become flustered, they won't be able to provide emergency care as directed by the cardiologist, which may jeopardize the patient's health.
Although they're known as "catheterization" techs, technicians also assist in other procedures such as open heart surgery or the placement of pacemakers. Some techs even assist cardiologists during open heart surgery.
The cardiac cath tech job description also includes cleaning equipment, updating medical records and moving and lifting patients, if necessary.
Graduation from a cardiovascular technology program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs is required for employment as a cardiac catheterization laboratory technician. The two-year program prepares students to operate equipment and computers, master medical terminology, develop patient care skills and understand how the cardiovascular system functions. Students graduate with an associate of applied science or associate of science degree.
During the first few weeks on the job, a new cath lab tech may be mentored by another technician or a cardiologist. As policies and procedures can vary from facility to facility, working with an experienced healthcare professional may help new employees feel more confident when working in the cath lab.
Certification may improve your career prospects and opportunities for advancement. Cath lab techs become certified by taking the Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialist Exam, offered by the Cardiovascular Credentialing International.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the median annual wage for cardiovascular technologists and technicians was $55,270 as of May 2017. ZipRecruiter, which obtains its information from actual job listings, estimates the average salary even higher at $91,150.
Due to the aging Baby Boomer population, the demand for cath lab technicians is expected to increase faster than average through 2026. The BLS expects it grow by 17 percent.

* Remove the ``gender`` field,
* Change the label for the ``lastName`` from ``sylius.form.customer.last_name`` to ``app.form.customer.surname``

These will be the steps that you will have to take to achieve that:

**1.** If you are planning to add new fields remember that beforehand they need to be added on the model that the form type is based on.

    In case of our example if you need to have the ``secondaryPhoneNumber`` on the model and the entity mapping for the ``Customer`` resource.
    To get to know how to prepare that go :doc:`there </customization/model>`.

**2.** Create a **Form Extension**.

Your form has to extend a proper base class. How can you check that?

For the ``CustomerProfileType`` run:

.. code-block:: bash

    php bin/console debug:container sylius.form.type.customer_profile

As a result you will get the ``Sylius\Bundle\CustomerBundle\Form\Type\CustomerProfileType`` - this is the class that you need to be extending.

.. code-block:: php

    <?php

    declare(strict_types=1);

    namespace App\Form\Extension;

    use Sylius\Bundle\CustomerBundle\Form\Type\CustomerProfileType;
    use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractTypeExtension;
    use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\TextType;
    use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;

    final class CustomerProfileTypeExtension extends AbstractTypeExtension
    {
        public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options): void
        {
            $builder
                // Adding new fields works just like in the parent form type.
                ->add('secondaryPhoneNumber', TextType::class, [
                    'required' => false,
                    'label' => 'app.form.customer.secondary_phone_number',
                ])
                // To remove a field from a form simply call ->remove(`fieldName`).
                ->remove('gender')
                // You can change the label by adding again the same field with a changed `label` parameter.
                ->add('lastName', TextType::class, [
                    'label' => 'app.form.customer.surname',
                ]);
        }

        public static function getExtendedTypes(): iterable
        {
            return [CustomerProfileType::class];
        }
    }

.. note::
    Of course remember that you need to define new labels for your fields
    in the ``translations\messages.en.yaml`` for english contents of your messages.

**3.** After creating your class, register this extension as a service in the ``config/services.yaml``:

.. code-block:: yaml

    services:
        app.form.extension.type.customer_profile:
            class: App\Form\Extension\CustomerProfileTypeExtension
            tags:
                - { name: form.type_extension, extended_type: Sylius\Bundle\CustomerBundle\Form\Type\CustomerProfileType }

.. note::
    Of course remember that you need to render the new fields you have created,
    and remove the rendering of the fields that you have removed **in your views**.

In our case you will need to copy the original template from ``vendor/sylius/sylius/src/Sylius/Bundle/ShopBundle/Resources/views/Account/profileUpdate.html.twig``
to ``templates/bundles/SyliusShopBundle/Account/`` and add the fields inside the copy.

.. code-block:: html

    {{ form_row(form.phoneNumber) }}
    {{ form_row(form.subscribedToNewsletter) }}

    <!-- your fields -->
    {{ form_row(form.birthday) }}
    {{ form_row(form.secondaryPhoneNumber) }}

    {{ sonata_block_render_event('sylius.shop.account.profile.update.form', {'customer': customer, 'form': form}) }}

----------------------

.. warning::

    Some of the forms already have extensions in Sylius. Learn more about Extensions `here <https://symfony.com/doc/current/form/create_form_type_extension.html>`_.

For instance the ``ProductVariant`` admin form is defined under ``Sylius/Bundle/ProductBundle/Form/Type/ProductVariantType.php`` and later extended in
``Sylius/Bundle/CoreBundle/Form/Extension/ProductVariantTypeExtension.php``. If you again extend the base type form like this:

.. code-block:: yaml

    services:
        app.form.extension.type.product_variant:
            class: App\Form\Extension\ProductVariantTypeMyExtension
            tags:
                - { name: form.type_extension, extended_type: Sylius\Bundle\ProductBundle\Form\Type\ProductVariantType, priority: -5 }

your form extension will also be executed. Whether before or after the other extensions depends on priority tag set.

`How to customize forms that are already extended in Core?`
-----------------------------------------------------------

.. tip::

    You can browse the full implementation of this example on `this GitHub Pull Request.
    <https://github.com/Sylius/Customizations/pull/9>`__

Having a look at the extensions and possible additionally defined event handlers can also be useful when form elements are embedded dynamically,
as is done in the ``ProductVariantTypeExtension`` by the ``CoreBundle``:

.. code-block:: php

    <?php

    // ...

    final class ProductVariantTypeExtension extends AbstractTypeExtension
    {
        public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options): void
        {
            // ...

            $builder->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA, function (FormEvent $event) {
                $productVariant = $event->getData();

                $event->getForm()->add('channelPricings', ChannelCollectionType::class, [
                    'entry_type' => ChannelPricingType::class,
                    'entry_options' => function (ChannelInterface $channel) use ($productVariant) {
                        return [
                            'channel' => $channel,
                            'product_variant' => $productVariant,
                            'required' => false,
                        ];
                    },
                    'label' => 'sylius.form.variant.price',
                ]);
            });
        }

        // ...

    }

The ``channelPricings`` get added on ``FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA``, so when you wish to remove or alter this form definition,
you will also have to set up an event listener and then remove the field:

.. code-block:: php

    <?php

    //...

    final class ProductVariantTypeMyExtension extends AbstractTypeExtension
    {
        // ...

        public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options): void
        {
            //...

            $builder
                ->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SET_DATA, function (FormEvent $event) {
                    $event->getForm()->remove('channelPricings');
                })
                ->addEventSubscriber(new AddCodeFormSubscriber(NULL, ['label' => 'app.form.my_other_code_label']))
            ;

            // ...

        }
    }

Adding constraints inside a form extension
------------------------------------------

.. warning::

    When adding your constraints dynamically from inside a form extension, be aware to add the correct validation groups.

Although it is advised to follow the :doc:`Validation Customization Guide </customization/validation>`, it might happen that you
want to define the form constraints from inside the form extension. They will not be used unless the correct validation group(s)
has been added. The example below shows how to add the default `sylius` group to a constraint.

.. tip::

    You can browse the full implementation of this example on `this GitHub Pull Request.
    <https://github.com/Sylius/Customizations/pull/8>`__

.. code-block:: php

    <?php

    // ...

    final class CustomerProfileTypeExtension extends AbstractTypeExtension
    {
        // ...

        public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options): void
        {
            //...

            $builder
            // Adding new fields works just like in the parent form type.
            ->add('secondaryPhoneNumber', TextType::class, [
                'required' => false,
                'label' => 'app.form.customer.secondary_phone_number',
                'constraints' => [
                    new Length([
                        'min' => 6,
                        'max' => 10,
                        'groups' => ['sylius'],
                    ]),
                ],
            ]);

            // ...

        }

        // ...

    }

Overriding forms completely
---------------------------

.. tip::

    If you need to create a new form type on top of an existing one -  create this new alternative form type and define `getParent()`
    to the old one. `See details in the Symfony docs <https://symfony.com/doc/current/form/create_custom_field_type.html>`_.

.. include:: /customization/plugins.rst.inc

Residents will be able to travel on the Gregory Hills Drive extension "well before Christmas", Dartwest general manager David Taylor has promised.
The road, which will link Gregory Hills to Campbelltown, has been constructed and funded by Gregory Hills developers Dartwest.
Mr Taylor said the opening of the road is fast approaching.
"It's getting close," he said.
The works are running to schedule and Mr Taylor said there had been no great surprises in the build so far.
He said there were, however, challenges that had been planned for.
"The terrain is very hard and is difficult to build on," he said.
Mr Taylor said making sure machines and equipment were out of the way of school students heading to St Gregory's College had also been a challenge.
Workers are currently ensuring that all students and school staff will be able to access the school while the final stages of road construction – which will eventually include two new school entries – are under way.
Mr Taylor said the road was about 80 per cent complete with large stretches now sealed over.
"It's really feeling like a road now and not a dirt track," he said.
The five-kilometre road will be two lanes each way between Gregory Hills and Campbelltown.


Spent (not nearly enough) time at our land today. Oh, the happiness this brings my little family is so obvious. They instantly took to the trees and play began. We will be spending a lot of time there in the coming months. My heart needs it.
FYI outdoors-y folks: Ticks are out!
It was SO good being off-grid for an hour. A majority of my time is in front of a screen, because that stuff (marketing, networking, business stuff, that is) comes so naturally to me. I tend to lean into that with ease. I am missing creating.
It's time to pull back out of my brain and get back into my body, my heart AND my art. Balance.


text:
O Papiro de Artemidoro é um manuscrito em papiro encontrado na década de 1990 num conjunto de vários papiros antigos, reciclados em finais do século I para fabricar uma máscara funerária de papel maché.

Entre os elementos desse amontoado foram encontrados cerca de 50 pedaços de papiros. Com uma largura de 32,5 cm e um comprimento de 2,55 m, o papiro é composto por dois pedaços, entre os quais falta uma folha. O resto é composto por um texto de geografia, que se atribui a Artemidoro de Éfeso, geógrafo grego de finais do século II a.C. e princípios do século I a.C., cuja obra é conhecida pelas citações de outros autores.

O texto encontrado tem uma introdução e o início de uma descrição da Península Ibérica. A originalidade do papiro deve-se à inclusão de um mapa. Este mapa, inacabado, representa talvez a Bética. Poder-se-á supor que o desenhador não o terminou porque se deu conta de que não estava a copiar no mapa a parte correspondente ao texto. Tal sucedeu em finais do século I. O papiro, no entanto, não foi descartado. No reverso, estão desenhados uma quarentena de animais reais e fantásticos. Estes desenhos deveriam servir de indicação aos clientes que desejavam um fresco ou um mosaico escolher um modelo de animal. A vida do papiro não acabou aí: nos espaços que ficaram livres no anverso e nos espaços onde deviam figurar os mapas não realizados, estão representadas cabeças e outros elementos de anatomia, a título de exercício.

Segundo a data de outros documentos encontrados no amontoado, o Papiro de Artemidoro teria sido finalmente reciclado em velhos papiros em finais do século I.

Esteve exposto no Palazzo Bricherasio de Turim até maio de 2006. Depois o papiro foi levado para Milão, para mais tarde voltar a Turim, onde se encontra.

Desde setembro de 2006 tem tido lugar uma grande discussão sobre a autenticidade deste rolo. Segundo Luciano Canfora, o autor do papiro seria o falsificador do século XIX Constantine Simonides. A hipótese de Canfora recebe hoje crédito entre a comunidade científica: Richard Janko, Germaine Aujac, Daniel Delattre, Renzo Tosi, Luigi Lehnus, Maurizio Calvesi, etc. expressaram a sua opinião de que o papiro não pode ser de Artemidoro. São conhecidas as fontes para o trabalho do falsificador, tanto no terreno geográfico como no iconográfico-artístico. As respostas a favor da autenticidade parecem impregnadas de um forte carácter subjetivo e especulativo. O melhor balanço final da discussão é obra de Federico Condello.

Characterization of monoclonal antibodies to human protein 1/Clara cell 10 kilodalton protein
Tetsuji Yamaguchi, Toshiyuki Yamada, Ryuta Okutani, Noriharu Shijubo, Gurmukh Singh, Yoshihisa Itoh
Human protein 1/ Clara cell Mr 10,000 protein consists of two identical subunits of seventy amino acid residues each. In the present study, eight clones of monoclonal antibodies against native protein 1 were prepared and their respective epitopes were immunochemically and immunohistochemically characterized using native protein I, truncated recombinant protein 1 and synthesized peptides. Among the clones, three designated as TY-5, TY-7 and TY-8 recognized amino acid residues 7-16, residues 19-28, and residues 39-46, respectively, all of which comprise the hydrophobic cavity of protein 1, possibly associated with chemical binding function. With the exception of TY-4, the remaining clones recognized residues 61-68 which are exposed to solvent. The epitope of TY-4 remains undetermined. Proper selection and combination of clones and recombinant protein 1 may be useful for fundamental and clinical studies of protein 1.
