on Jan. 19, 2017, the Dailymail reports.
Her miscarriages were a result of the breast cancer, and she chose the abortions because her unborn babies tested positive for cystic fibrosis.
Fryer's heart-wrenching journey began when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2009. Both of her breasts were removed, and she underwent chemotherapy. Vicky and Chris were warned, however, that the chemotherapy would potentially damage her eggs. They decided to fertilize her eggs outside of the womb and freeze the resulting embryos, according to the report.
The Fryers waited for three years after Vicky's diagnosis before trying for a baby, to be certain that the cancer would not return.
'"I didn't want to be pregnant if I knew I wasn't going to be here for my child. It was a horrible, depressing thought, but I had to be practical," Vicky said.
They first tried natural pregnancy, but both of their attempts ended in miscarriage. They then decided to try in vitro fertilization with their frozen embryos. Before the attempt, however, both Vicky and Chris tested positive for cystic fibrosis, guaranteeing that at least one of their embryos would have the disease.
The Fryers had four embryos. The first implantation was unsuccessful. The second embryo tested positive for cystic fibrosis, and, at thirteen weeks, that baby was aborted, according to the report.
The third embryo also tested positive for the disease and was aborted.
Finally, the last embryo, which ironically was the one that was considered the poorest quality, tested negative for cystic fibrosis. That baby, Abe James Fryer, was born healthy.
Vicky explained the difficult choices that she and her husband made.
"Of course, if we hadn't known the babies would have CF, once they were born, we'd have done everything in our power to ensure they lived as well as possible with their condition. But when you're given the choice, you don't inflict a horrible illness on your child," she said.
Parents do not have that choice ethically, however. A child with a disability has the same right to life before birth as he or she does after birth. The Fryers suffered much in their journey, but understanding that the value of life is never lessened by other factors could have given them peace about choosing life for all of their children.

Alexandros Aresti (; born 11 March 1983) is a Cypriot former swimmer, who specialized in freestyle events. He is a two-time Olympian (2000 and 2004), and  a Cypriot record holder in the 100 and 200 m freestyle.

Aresti made his official debut, as a 17-year-old, at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he competed in the men's 200 m freestyle. Swimming in heat two, he rounded out the field of seven swimmers to last place and forty-ninth overall by a 5.32-second margin behind winner Mark Chay of Singapore in 1:57.54.

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Aresti extended his program by qualifying for two swimming events. He cleared FINA B-standard entry times of 51.45 (100 m freestyle) and 1:53.61 (200 m freestyle) from the Akropolis Grand Prix. In the 200 m freestyle, Aresti challenged seven other swimmers on the third heat, including Olympic veteran Aleksandar Malenko of Yugoslavia. He edged out Chinese Taipei's Chen Te-tung to take a sixth spot and forty-fourth overall by 0.24 of a second in 1:53.90. In his second event, 100 m freestyle, Aresti placed thirty-eighth on the morning's preliminaries. Swimming in heat four, Aresti blasted a Cypriot record of 51.10 to save a second spot over Papua New Guinea's Ryan Pini by 0.01 of a second.

Simon Bolton will support asbestos-related cancer patients at Harrogate District Hospital
Harrogate/News
Specialist nurse for Harrogate to help those with asbestos-related cancer
Simon Bolton will support asbestos-related cancer patients at Harrogate District Hospital.
Simon Bolton has been appointed as a Mesothelioma Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) at Harrogate District Hospital to cover the west and north Yorkshire region.
The new post has been made possible through funding from Mesothelioma UK, a national charity dedicated to this asbestos-related cancer. Simon's post will be the 12th addition to Mesothelioma UK's Specialist Nurse team.
Over the past year, there have been over 100 mesothelioma cases in and around Yorkshire. In this new role, Simon will work across the region and with colleagues to ensure that there is access to specialist support and information, and to promote a growing appreciation of the mesothelioma public health disaster currently being faced in the UK. Simon will also promote awareness about the full options available for mesothelioma patients by supporting, signposting and disseminating information, leading and generally offering appropriate clinical support.
Having qualified in 1995, Simon spent a couple of years at St. James Hospital working in cardiology, general medicine and coronary care. In 1997, he went to work as a cancer nurse. Simon then took on his first lung cancer role with Mid Yorks Hospitals NHS Trust where he was in post for seven years. He has also held the position of Night Nurse Practitioner at Cookridge Hospital (a cancer Hospital in Leeds).
Simon Bolton
Most recently, Simon has worked for the Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust as a lung cancer nurse specialist and is also involved with the Sir Robert Ogden Macmillan Centre (SROMC). In 2014, he ran the Great North Run, raising money for the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation and last year, completed a full marathon in York raising over £700 for Mesothelioma UK.
Commenting on his new role, Simon Bolton said:
I'm delighted to be taking on this new role, funded by Mesothelioma UK. There is a real need for more clinical trials and research in the region to support the growing number of mesothelioma cases. I also hope to support other healthcare professionals about anything relevant to mesothelioma and ensure patients receive the highest quality care, support and treatment. Patients still need to be made aware about the treatment options available to them and I hope to provide the vital information and support for them.
Liz Darlison, Mesothelioma UK Director of Services and Consultant Nurse, added:
I am delighted to welcome Simon to Mesothelioma UK, a passionate and dedicated team that is having a remarkable impact across the UK. With the increased number of mesothelioma patients in and around Yorkshire, Simon will focus on patient care, encouraging more clinical trials and research to take place, and taking the lead to support and educate more people on all aspects of mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma UK is a national resource centre dedicated to providing specialist mesothelioma information, support and improved care and treatment for all UK mesothelioma patients, their carers and health care professionals. The centre promotes the development of Specialist Mesothelioma Nursing practice and funds 12 specialist nursing posts around the UK.
Mesothelioma UK Charitable Trust is based at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester. Our services are free of charge and we rely entirely on donations, legacies, fundraising and sponsorship for financial support. For more information, visit www.mesothelioma.uk.com, email mesothelioma.uk@uhl-tr.nhs.uk or call the freephone helpline number on 0800 169 2409 (Monday – Friday 8:30am – 4:30pm).

You are certainly welcome to call, email or fax us at anytime for any questions that you have regarding our products and services. Many basic questions that we receive are answered below.
The offices are open from 8:00 AM to 5:00PM Monday through Friday (except major holidays) throughout the year. We are also open on Saturday from May through September from 8:00AM to noon, and the offices are closed on Sunday. However, for your convenience we can schedule Saturday morning appointments to meet with you from October to April. Our delivery and pickup times can also be extended from our regular office hours.
What if there is an emergency when you are closed?
We always have someone on staff that carries a pager. You can call our regular phone number 515-266-3223 and listen for the instructions to page our personnel.
You can make a reservation in person, through this website, via email, by fax at 515-266-7958 or by telephone at 515-266-3223. Proposals and quotes do not guarantee rental availability, rental items are reserved only upon receipt of a signed rental agreement and a 50% deposit.
When do I need to make payment?
50% of the rental is due at the time of reservation and the balance is due 48 hours before the rental.
Keep in mind that when a reservation is made, the equipment is set aside for that date specifically for your rental and the appropriate personnel are scheduled for that day. Cancelations must be in writing and can be delivered to our offices in person, by email or by fax. If a reservation is canceled within 30 days of the rental date, the customer is responsible for 50% of the rental. If the equipment is en route or has already been delivered, the customer is responsible for 100% of the rental.
Most rentals are from 1 to 3 days, so you can usually get the items the day before your event and return them the day after. Orders for the weekend may be picked up on Friday and returned on Monday.
Refer to our Size Guide calculator on this website to get a recommendation. Or, contact one of our sales staff and they will ask you the appropriate questions to arrive at the size that you will need. If you are having an indoor event you can still use the Size Guide to help determine what size room that may work best for you.
Deliveries are scheduled for a mutually convenient time, and are usually made the day before the event. During our busy season we have dozens of deliveries scheduled per day and pinpointing an exact time is challenging, so most rentals will be noted to deliver and pickup between 8:00AM and 5:00PM.
If you need more specific timing for your delivery or need to have it made or picked up after hours or on the weekend, let your salesperson know in advance. It can be scheduled for an additional fee.
You show prices on about everything, but not your larger tents. Why?
Our desire is to get you into the right size and right budget tent and our experience has shown that the best way to do this is by asking the right questions. Our goal is to give you the best possible product at the best possible price.
Almost all local governments require a permit before a tent can be installed, so the chance that you will need one is very good. It is the customer's responsibility to obtain any required permits, normally they are issued by either the Fire Department or Building Department in most municipalities. The City Clerk or County Commissioner Office can be a good place to check in smaller communities. Some larger cities often require additional permitting for food, beverage and sound systems.
Why do you need to drive stakes into the ground for my tent?
There are different styles of tents but they all have one thing in common: they need to be secured to the surface to keep the tent in place. Without staking, the tent will either collapse or the wind will move it from its site.
What are the concerns with tent stakes?
Normally, driving stakes into the ground presents no concerns. However, a problem will exits if there are any utility lines in the ground where the tent will be erected. That is why you need to contact Gopher State One Call.
Who is Iowa One Call?
They are a free one-call notification system in Iowa established to inform the public about underground utilities that may exist at the tent's job site. The stakes that are using for securing a tent are quite long and when driven into the ground they may accidentally hit a utility line such as gas, water or electric. It is the customer's responsibility to make sure that it does not happen. Contact Iowa One Call at 800-292-8989 or go on line to iowaonecall.com for instructions and information.
In Minnesota call 800-252-1166 and in Wisconsin call 800-242-8511.


Join us at the REI Washington DC flagship store for an inspiring talk on forest therapy, also known as "forest bathing," with certified forest therapy guide and author Melanie Choukas-Bradley.
There's a growing body of evidence that the practice of forest bathing - known as "Shinrin-yoku" in Japan, where the phenomenon started - can help boost immunity and mood and help reduce stress. Forest therapy is now gaining popularity as a way to reconnect with nature for health and many other benefits. Melanie Choukas-Bradley, certified forest therapy guide and author of "The Joy of Forest Bathing," joins us for a talk on the practice and benefits of forest bathing.

I really didn't think of bringing a child last night to St. Michael for Michaelmas/Parents' Night. I assummed they said the kids can be accommodated in the play school because there are whole-day students there who might as well stay there while their parents socialized upstairs.
It turned out, even former students were brought by their parents. Yikes. I so felt guilty to see Yakee's friends all there and a wonderful storytelling setup... and no Yakee.
I also told myself I needed the time away from my boys, what with my meltdown moment on the night of my birthday when I couldn't put them to sleep. Plus, I also didn't want Yakee excited at night anymore only to not settle down for bed again.
But again, I felt soooo guilty. I also almost quarrelled with hubs for trying to tease me about it. Sigh.
Anyway, it was a beautiful parents' night. Now, hubs and I need to be deciding on what's next for Yakee. We are still a long way from pondering the merits of Physicians & Surgeons Jobs (because we hope one of our sons would want to become a doctor) but in a way, it's really more crucial. omeschooling, a more structured one, can already start for us. But where to send Yakee for his socialization and physical activity needs?
The End of Play School..


It's a luxury to be able to do this: to decide on the spur of the moment to race down to Cornwall for two days' walking. Fortunately we picked a good weekend for it, with wall-to-wall sunshine today.
This walk was relatively short, chiefly driven by availability of accommodation between Harlyn - where we left off in 2008 - and Newquay, the departure station for our train home tomorrow.
It's also been a very windy day, but that's not deterred the typical Brit, who's descended on the glorious sandy beaches in large numbers. On days like this we feel very much the odd ones out, marching along in hiking boots and rucksacks, rather than just lazing on a towel with a book, waiting for the barbecue to be ready.
Along the cliff-tops the wild flowers have been particularly noticeable today, with thrift and campion blooming in neat clusters and red valerian growing thickly in the hedgerows near Trevose Lighthouse.
By this evening, the wind had got the better of the sun, making it sadly too chilly to eat outside. Inside the pub we bumped into another couple staying at the same Bed and Breakfast as us. They too were walking the South West Coast Path, but had ambitions to go further so pushed us for stories, recommendations and tips.

Looking to stock up on cards for Valentine's Day, spring, and more? If so, please stop by the Schrager & Clarke Gallery for their Artist Card Event. The event runs from February 4th-14th and features cards by several different artists. I am really excited to participate in this event! The Schrager & Clarke Gallery is located at 760 Willamette Street in Eugene, Oregon.


Whether your arrival here is the result of human error, morbid curiosity, a momentary lapse in judgement or simply the cruel workings of fate, please allow me to explain to you the nature of this website and the purpose for which it exists. What follows is a transcript of a contrived, hypothetical Q&A session which took place several hours prior to the moment when you begin reading it.
NFL Prophet is a sports tipping competition with a twist. In ordinary tipping competitions, you simply pick which team you think is most likely to win each game in the coming week and earn one point for each correct selection. In NFL Prophet, not only do you pick the winner of each game – you also sort the games in order of the confidence you have in each of your picks. Why? Because beginning at the top of your list and working towards the bottom, you earn one point for each correct selection until your first incorrect selection is reached. At that point your score is recorded, and you earn no further points for that week.
So if I correctly pick the winner of every single game for the entire week except for the first game on my list, I get zero points for that week?
I'm not gonna lie to you – points are hard to come by. The current record for the highest single-season score is 76 points. If you score more than 50 points over the course of the entire season, you will have earned the respect of your peers and the right to gloat.
So couldn't half a dozen people finish the season with the same points total?
It's certainly possible. And that's when percentage becomes important. Your percentage is the number of correct selections you've made relative to the total number of games played throughout the season. In the event of a tie on points, percentage is used as a tiebreaker.
What if the percentages are tied?
If both scores and percentages are tied, a second tiebreaker is used. It employs a complex equation that measures the accuracy of the selections that appear nearer to the top of your list, considering them to be a stronger indicator of your performance than those selections that appear further down.
Speaking of ties, what about tied games?
In the unlikely event that a game ends in a tie, the game is ignored for the purpose of calculating both score and percentage. It would be as if the game never took place.
Ok, I'll give it a shot. What do I get if I win?
The NFL Prophet 2015 champion will receive ten tax-free Australian dollars from my wallet, but only if they come to my house and pick it up. The sending of currency via regular post is prohibited by our national postal service, and I'm not shelling out for registered post.
Is NFL Prophet in any way affiliated with or endorsed by the National Football League or any of its member clubs?
No. But thanks for asking. What are you, a lawyer?
the National Football League and its respective member clubs.


The biggest thing that proponents of giving illegal immigrants amnesty do not understand is one of the words in the description to begin with…illegal.
Meaning that it is against the law. Meaning that if you do it you are probably going to get thrown in jail or in the case of an illegal border crossing sent back to where you came from.
Other countries do it and their penalties are a heck of a lot harsher if known it is done intentionally. Shoot even if it's purely on accident you can get in trouble.
It wasn't all that long ago that a woman who was jogging near the US/Canada border accidentally went over to the Canadian side and was so into her jog that she simply just did not realize she was in Canada. She didn't have any paperwork with her since she was on a run and was detained for a good bit before they finally release her.
Now, a good number of the people that are crossing into the United States illegally aren't exactly jogging and got lost. They aren't exactly here with their biggest crime in mind to steal pies that are cooling on a windowsill either.
They are coming to at the very least take advantage of a system that they haven't chipped into yet. The more severe cases are coming to commit crimes. Liberals know this, they have seen the facts yet they want to give them free passes.


Yau Mei Tei hotels near the MTR station.
Looking at Ferry Street on the map, a large chunk of the harbour to the immediate west of this has been reclaimed in the massive West Kowloon Reclamation project to provide for both the road and rail links streaming toward TST and Central from the airport. As such, the entire Yau Ma Tei typhoon shelter was pushed further out into the harbour. Back on the the original terra firma, this area is a crowded residential area with more of a local than a tourist focus. Two exceptions to this are the two street markets described below.
Located on the junction of Kansu and Battery streets, this casual, open-air market boasts more than 400 stall owners. To Chinese, jade has great spiritual value. When carved into certain shapes, it can represent wealth (deer), good fortune (tiger) or power (dragon). Don't buy expensive jade unless you know what you are doing. Starting at 10 a.m. it runs till about 3:30 p.m. daily. The best time to go is in the morning.
The Temple Street Night Market comes alive after 6:00 p.m. and offers a wide range of inexpensive items mostly for men, from jeans and t-shirts to lighters and shoes. There are also dozens of fortune tellers, Chinese opera performers, and scores of food sellers offering traditional Chinese cooked snacks.
The West Kowloon Expressway and the Airport Express Line zoom along the reclaimed land on the western part of the area with the AEL's Kowloon stop just below Jordan Road before the rail line dips under the harbor on its way to Hong Kong Island.
Either one is handy for the Jade Market, with Jordan Road just a bit further away.

Bryce Harper ejected, bolts from dugout to confront ump
Updated: April 22, 2019 9:15 PM PDT
Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler, centre, restrains Bryce Harper, left, while arguing a call with umpire Mark Carlson during the fourth inning of a baseball game Monday, April 22, 2019, in New York. Frank Franklin II / AP
NEW YORK — Bryce Harper bolted from the dugout to angrily confront the plate umpire after being ejected Monday night, and it took three members of the Philadelphia Phillies to hold back the enraged slugger.
Harper was tossed four batters after being called out on strikes by Mark Carlson to begin the fourth inning against the New York Mets. Harper became the first Phillies player ejected from a game since pitcher Justin De Fratus in 2015.
Harper was already miffed by a couple of strikes in the upper part of the zone when he was ejected while sitting on the bench.
Phillies manager Gabe Kapler came out of the dugout to argue, then Harper followed in a hurry. Harper yelled and pointed at Carlson over and over from close range, with Kapler repeatedly pushing him back his star player.
Bench coach Rob Thomson wrapped up Harper and third base coach Dusty Wathan blocked his path to the plate.
Kapler continued the argument as Harper made his way back to the bench and clubhouse.

Gonzalez, who turned 16 in May, becomes the youngest player in club history to sign a professional contract. He joins teammates Sam Rogers, Shandon Hopeau and Lorenzo Ramos as current S2 players who have made the jump from Sounders FC Academy this season.
Originally from Las Vegas, Gonzalez joined Seattle's Academy when he was 13. After starring for Sounders FC's U-16 and U-18 squads while playing above his age group, Gonzalez earned his crack at the professional ranks. In January, Gonzalez was invited to Sounders FC preseason, where the 5'9", 145-pound teen participated with First Team players throughout camp. Since making his USL debut in April, Gonzalez has five appearances and recorded his first career assist in June.
Gonzalez has also represented the United States at the junior level. Last fall, he played for the Stars and Stripes' U-16 squad during a tournament in France. He also participated in the International Dream Cup, a tournament that took place in Japan last month.
S2, currently in seventh place in the Western Conference with a record of 7-9-2, hosts Swope Park Rangers on Thursday, July 20 (7:30 p.m. PT / Live-streamed on Sounders FC.com).


For the second day in a row, once some of the Republican members of the Virginia General Assembly got a good look at the women massing on the Capitol grounds in opposition to 10 inches of government snooping shoved up their vaginas, the sponsors of Virginia's proposed new anti-abortion bill were said to be in deep contemplation of "compromises" that might save their mortal souls from the hell about to be unleashed on them.
Gov. Bob McDonnell (R), who up until day-before-yesterday said he was just itching to see all those women spread their legs to state-mandated probing, is now signaling that maybe it was some governor-impersonator who said he would sign any vaginal-poking-around law that the General Assembly cared to put on his desk.
"Our position is: If the General Assembly passes this bill the governor will review it, in its final form, at that time," McDonnell spokesman Tucker Martin said in a statement.
Seems like the Republican war on women, when faced with actual resistance, gets a whole lot less "manly."
Good news from VA but it turns out almost exactly this same provision recently already went into effect in your home state of TX, Jer, sad to say. Texas is already so far to the right that I guess women there have just given up and let the men run their bodies. Until this becomes a national issue, wnat we are seeing (as we well know in NC) is an attempt by the so-called religious right to get state laws changed one after the other until only privileged and wealthy women will be able to get even the most basic reproductive services. Yet at the same time they are demonizing welfare mothers, anyone entitled to the Earned Income Tax Credit, and want to continually slash any kind of government-run feeding programs for poor children. Wrapped as they are in the sanctimony of their cause, and since they rely on well-funded subterfuge and propaganda, they can only be defeated by a concerted effort of the informed electorate.


"Kiss from a Rose" is a song from Seal's second eponymous album. The song was first released as a single in July 1994. Re-released in 1995, it was included on the Batman Forever film soundtrack, helping it top the charts in the U.S. and Australia. At the 1996 Grammy Awards, it won awards for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

J.P. —Working through a crisis in her 20-year marriage
"I contacted Farah for relationship issues that I was having which were triggering a lot of anger in me. I wanted to learn to not be overwhelmed by my feelings.
The processing we did with EFT (emotional freedom techniques) was good for this objective, as after three sessions, I noticed that I could use it not only for this feeling of anger, but any negative feelings such as fear, that had me feeling powerless. It gave me tools to first step back and notice what was happening in that moment, and giving me a technique that I could use to work through it. This has given me a sense of empowerment but also helps me put distance to the negative feelings. This is helping me in all areas of my life, not only relationships but in any situation where one can feel easily overwhelmed.
Working with Farah as been beneficial in a way that exceeded my expectation. Having come for a specific issue I gained a toolbox which I can use in many situations, and more importantly that I can use on my own if needed. However, for deeper issues, I will continue working with Farah as this needs more work.
Farah has a very positive, understanding approach which is very helpful in such circumstances, she does not hesitate to ask for further clarification or if we feel comfortable in "digging" further into issues. It is truly team work between yourself and an experienced practitioner."
V.Y. —Deciding whether to stay in her marriage
"When I was going through a difficult period in my marriage, Farah taught me how to use EFT (emotional freedom techniques) to calm down, to see things for what they are and from there to make decisions which are more grounded. Farah also helped me to go deeper to the root of the issues by not letting me get away with my defence mechanisms that have served me well up to a certain point in life. Farah is empathetic and very professional. Other than EFT, she also uses different ways to help me see a situation from a different point of view and has enabled me to uncover a few blind spots about myself. She is a good listener and is able to summarize a situation in a way that still resonates with me but makes it much easier to digest, understand, and move on. I can't thank her enough for what she has helped me to uncover."
C.S. — Mid-career transition, return to university
"I have been accepted to Masters program this fall at the university of my choice. Thank you for all your help and support in getting me started with the whole process. Your coaching and your support played a tremendous role in helping me getting into the program so THANK YOU SO MUCH!"
Victoria S. — Mid-career transition, change career track
"After quitting my job in humanitarian aid of 7 years, I wanted to undergo a professional transition into something new and challenging beyond my current sector, yet I was unclear of what would be my next move. Although I had some very broad goals in sight, I was anxious and overwhelmed by the different avenues that could be taken to achieve them.
Working with Farah provided me with an incredibly useful set of tools that empowered me to not only identify the root causes of my anxieties and barriers but also help address them in a more thoughtful and holistic manner rather than resorting to my former impulsive nature. Although we had set a series of professionally-focused objectives to work through, I quickly realized that what I learned after a couple of sessions with Farah can also apply to my personal life with the sudden illness of a family member.
Even months after, my discussions with Farah have resonated with me and I wished I had exposure to her tools much sooner, especially while enduring the hardships faced as a humanitarian aid worker.
What I found helped most was her personalized approach. Although Farah teaches you a series of tools, they were always directly adapted to my needs and concerns during our discussions. This made me feel at ease, knowing that I am not being compared to anyone else but myself, and made our sessions that much more worthwhile.
The unique thing about working with Farah was the empowerment. After every session, I recorded and sent over my thoughts and feelings to Farah and I was always left astonished on how much I achieved through each session even if at first I did not think I was making progress. I was even more surprised that her tools can be applied to different areas of my life enabling the confidence I needed to tackle more personal matters, and not only the professional ones for which I initially saw Farah."

I'm back to scrapbooking. I can't believe how small my little Moose use to be next to my juggling club. I used a lot of old scraps for this page. I made that yellow felt flower over two years ago. Crazy!
It's funny, no matter how many embellishments I have, it all ways seems that I never have what I'm looking for. I love this page and it took a lot of cutting.
I made these cute flags with some toothpicks.
This little streamer of flags is my new go to idea to use up some scrap papers and some scrap sewing floss.
I played around with my photos for a while. I really wanted three pictures on this page, but in the end it is two with a pull out. I do think interactive pages are fun, they just take more work sometimes.
I just wanted to share Moose's Valentine that she made for her daddy. I just love foam shapes. Such a simple and mess free project.
I've been wanting to make a flower box for Moose a long time. Well I was at Target and in the dollar section they had a bunch of these flowers and I knew I had to get them for the flower box I was dreaming of. Now I kept putting off making the box because I had planed to make the box out of wood and that meant I needed a saw...and I just kept holding off on buying one. Then it hit me one day, I have three flower boxes in our garage that we no longer use. So I cleaned the box out and started my project.
1. First I cut the foam into three pieces. Now I did it with scissors because I don't have an electric knife, but I just found out that a bread knife works well and I do have one of those. Oh well. I eyeballed the entire thing, and if they come out jagged and uneven it really isn't the end of the world. Is dirt ever even? Nope. The size you cut will depend on how big your container is.
2. Cut your fabric. I had some brown fabric laying around so I used that. Some pieces were a little smaller then I would of liked, but using scraps is awesome. Your really just need it to cover the top and a little bit on the sides. Now I did iron my fabric, but after I took this picture.
3. Hot glue it down. Turns out it is really hart to take a picture while hot gluing.
I folded my edges like I do when I'm wrapping presents.
4. Hot glue them down into your container. If you don't, curious minds might take them out and whack anything they can find with them.
5. Plant your flowers or veggies and enjoy!
I do plan on making cute garden signs and pretend seed packets, but I'll save that for sometime in the future.
Well so far I've kept up with the journaling on my pages. I know Moose will appreciated all these pages when she is older. She all ready likes to look at them. I can't wait till she can help make pages with me. I give her a glue stick and some paper, but she ignored the paper and just walked around rubbing the closed stick over her stuff animals, furniture, and anything else that wasn't paper. Maybe she will get it in a few more months.
I originally envisioned a beautiful white vase with tree branches and hearts hanging off of it, but then I found a wooden tree at one of my local crafty stores. At first I painted it white, but my white paint stinks and I hated how it looked so then I went with pink. I tried to go with a gradient, but the paint didn't go on as well as I would have liked, and I wish I had just gone with watercolor to start with. That's what I did with the hearts. Maybe I'll find that vase and branches next year, but for this year this will have to do.
I always feel like our home is so empty once the Christmas decorations all come down. My Valentines decorations are very limited, so I decided to make some felt hearts...a LOT of hearts.
Some of the hearts I put on sticks. They look great in a jar and make wonderful wands. You can NEVER have to many wands.
Some of the hearts I put into a big vase, but they did not stay in for very long.
They look so beautiful laying out on the floor. I would love to put them in a big frame and hang them just like this.
Of course they look wonderful just laying in a big pile ready to trip anybody that walks by.


Working with clay, paint, crayons, or pencils, artists have long known that the act of creating art can help people explore the deepest recesses of their hearts – and bring about real change in their lives. Michael Sullivan discovered the power of art for himself in the midst of grieving the loss of a young parishioner. Ever since, he has been using simple art projects as a form of prayer and a way of helping others explore what God may be saying to them. Windows into the Soul is a practical, hands-on resource for those who want to explore this means of prayer and contemplation for themselves, approaching the process not as an artist but as a spiritual seeker. Readers will find projects in various media, including clay, charcoal, and acrylic, including not only technical directions, but a gentle guide to the spiritual gold to be mined from the experience.
Michael Sullivan is the director at Kanuga, the Episcopal conference center in North Carolina.an Episcopal priest. A former attorney, he is a frequent speaker and workshop leader. He lives in Lynchburg, Virginia.


"Billiton" redirects here. For the Indonesian island formerly known as Billiton, see Belitung.
BHP Billiton is an Anglo-Australian multinational mining, metals and petroleum company headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. It is the world's largest mining company measured by 2015 market values and Australia's fourth largest company (by revenue), formerly the largest.
BHP Billiton was created in 2001 through the merger of the Australian Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited (BHP) and the Anglo–Dutch Billiton plc. The result is a dual-listed company. The Australia-registered BHP Billiton Limited, which has equal financial share in the company, has a primary listing on the Australian Securities Exchange and is one of the largest companies in Australia measured by market capitalisation. The UK-registered BHP Billiton Plc has a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.
BHP Billiton global headquarters & Australian registered (corporate) office is located at 171 Collins St, Melbourne CBD, Australia.
Billiton was a mining company whose origins stretch back to 29 September 1860, when the articles of association were approved by a meeting of shareholders in the Groot Keizerhof hotel in The Hague, the Netherlands.
Two months later, the company acquired the mineral rights to the tin-rich Billiton (Belitung) and Bangka Islands in the Netherlands Indies archipelago, off the eastern coast of Sumatra.
Billiton's initial business forays included tin and lead smelting in the Netherlands, followed in the 1940s by bauxite mining in Indonesia and Suriname. In 1970, Shell acquired Billiton accelerated this growth. The tin and lead smelter in Arnhem, the Netherlands, was shut down in the 1990s. Billiton owned a tin smelting and refining plant in Phuket, Thailand called Thaisarco (shorted from-Thailand smelting and refining company limited), which still exists today.
In 1994, South Africa's Gencor Ltd. acquired the mining division of Billiton excluding the downstream metal division. Billiton was divested from Gencor in 1997.
In 1997, Billiton Plc became a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.
Throughout the 1990s and beyond, Billiton Plc experienced considerable growth. Its portfolio included aluminium smelters in South Africa and Mozambique, nickel operations in Australia and Colombia, base metals mines in South America, Canada and South Africa, coal mines in Australia, Colombia and South Africa, as well as interests in operations in Brazil, Suriname, Australia (aluminium) and South Africa (titanium minerals and steel and ferroalloys).
In 2001 Billiton Plc merged with the Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited (BHP) to form BHP Billiton.
In 2015, BHP Billiton spun off a number of its subsidiaries in South Africa and Southern Africa to form a new company known as South32. South32 is invested in manganese production and coal mining activities in South Africa, Brazil, Australia and the Far East.
In August 2016, the company recorded its worst annual loss in history, $6.4 billion dollars.
Towards the end of 2016 BHP indicated it would be expanding its petroleum business with new investments in the sector.
The Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited, BHP Co. Ltd., BHP, also known by the nickname "the Big Australian", was incorporated in 1885, operating the silver and lead mine at Broken Hill in western New South Wales, Australia. The Broken Hill group floated on 10 August 1885. The first consignment of Broken Hill ore (48 tons, 5 cwt, 3grs) was smelted at the Intercolonial Smelting and Refining Company's works at Spotswood, Melbourne.
The resulting 35,605 ounces of silver raised a lot of interest when exhibited at the City of Melbourne Bank in Collins St. Some sceptics asserted the promoters were merely using silver from somewhere else, to ramp up the shares...Another shareholder, the dominating W.R. Wilson had had to lend [William Jamieson, General Manager] a new suit so he could take the first prospectus, printed at Silverton near Broken Hill on 20 June 1885, to Adelaide to start the float process.
The geographic Broken Hill, for which the town was named, was discovered and named by Charles Sturt, and created much interest among prospectors, but nothing of note was discovered until Charles Rasp, boundary rider for the encompassing Mount Gipps Station, pegged out a 40-acre claim with contractors David James and James Poole, then with half-a-dozen backers (the Syndicate of Seven) including station manager George McCulloch (a young cousin of Victorian Premier Sir James McCulloch) formed the Broken Hill Company to stake out the whole Hill. In the ensuing months of fruitless search and with costs mounting, several of the original seven parted with their shares, and at the eve of the Company's great success there were nine shareholders, including Rasp, McCulloch, William Jamieson (who bought up shares from several of the founders), Philip Charley, David James, James Poole, Bowes Kelly and W. R. Wilson.
John Darling, Jr. became a director of the company in 1892 and was chairman of directors from 1907 to 1914.
In 1915, the company ventured into steel manufacturing, with its operations based primarily in Newcastle, New South Wales. The decision to move from mining ore at Broken Hill to open a steelworks at Newcastle was due to the technical limitations in recovering value from mining the 'lower-lying sulphide ores'. The discovery of Iron Knob and Iron Monarch near the western shore of the Spencer Gulf in South Australia combined with the development by the BHP metallurgist A. D. Carmichael of a technique for 'separating zinc sulphides from the accompanying earth and rock' led BHP 'to implement the startlingly simple and cheap process for liberating vast amounts of valuable metals out of sulphide ores, including huge heaps of tailings and slimes up to' 40 ft (12 m) high.
The company began petroleum exploration in the 1960s with discoveries in Bass Strait, an activity which became an increasing focus.
BHP began to diversify offshore in a variety of projects. One project was the Ok Tedi copper mine in Papua New Guinea, where the company was successfully sued by the indigenous inhabitants because of the environmental degradation caused by the mine operations. BHP had better success with the giant Escondida copper mine in Chile (57.5 percent owned) and the EKATI Diamond Mine in northern Canada. which it divested in 2013 to Dominion Diamond Corporation (formerly Harry Winston Diamond Corporation).
The inefficiencies of what was, by global standards, a small steel operation in Newcastle finally caught up with the company and the Newcastle operations were closed in 1999. The 'long products' side of the steel business was spun off to form OneSteel in 2000.

In 2001, BHP merged with the Billiton mining company to form BHP Billiton. In 2002, the 'flat products' steel business was spun off to form BHP Steel. In 2003, BHP Steel changed its name to BlueScope Steel.
In March 2005, BHP Billiton announced a US$7.3 billion agreed bid for another mining company, WMC Resources, owners of the Olympic Dam copper, gold and uranium mine in South Australia, nickel operations in Western Australia and Queensland, and a fertiliser plant also in Queensland. The takeover achieved 90 percent acceptance on 17 June 2005, and 100 percent ownership was announced on 2 August 2005, achieved through compulsory acquisition of the last 10 percent of the shares.
On 8 November 2007, BHP Billiton announced it was seeking to purchase rival mining group Rio Tinto Group in an all-share deal. The initial offer of 3.4 shares of BHP Billiton stock for each share of Rio Tinto was rejected by the board of Rio Tinto for "significantly undervaluing" the company. It was unknown at the time whether BHP Billiton would attempt to purchase Rio Tinto through some form of hostile takeover; The bid was withdrawn on 25 November 2008 due to a global recession.
On 14 May 2008, BHP Billiton shares rose to a record high of A$48.90 after speculation that Chinese mining firm Chinalco was considering purchasing a large stake. BHP Billiton representatives had no comment.
On 25 November 2008, Billiton announced that it would drop its A$66 billion takeover of rival Rio Tinto Group saying that the "risks to shareholder value" would "increase" to "an unacceptable level" due to the global financial crisis.
On 21 January 2009, the company announced that in response to the global financial crisis the BHP Billiton Ravensthorpe Nickel Project in Western Australia would cease operations, with a resultant discontinuation of shipments of ore from Ravensthorpe to the Yabulu nickel plant in Queensland Australia. Subsequently the Yabulu refinery was sold to Queensland billionaire Mr Clive Palmer. Additionally, the Pinto Valley mine in the United States was closed. In total, 6,000 employees were laid off, including those laid off with the scaling back at some other projects.
On 9 December 2009, BHP Billiton sold its Ravensthorpe Nickel Mine, which cost A$2.4 billion to build, to Vancouver-based First Quantum Minerals for US$340 million. First Quantum was one of three bidders for the mine and actually produced the lowest offer. The Canadian company plans to have the mine back in production in mid-2011. Ravensthorpe cost BHP US$3.6 billion in writedowns when it was shut in January 2009 after less than a year of production.
In January 2010, after BHP Billiton bought Athabasca Potash for US$320m, The Economist reported that by 2020, BHP Billiton could produce approximately 15 percent of the world demand for potash.
In August 2010, BHP Billiton made a hostile takeover bid worth US$40 billion for the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan. The bid came after BHP's first bid, made on 17 August, was rejected as being undervalued. This acquisition marked a major strategic move by BHP outside hard commodities and commenced the diversification of its business away from resources with high exposure to carbon price risk (coal, petroleum, iron ore). The takeover bid was opposed by the Government of Saskatchewan under Premier Brad Wall. On 3 November, Canadian Industry Minister Tony Clement announced the preliminary rejection of the deal under the Investment Canada Act, giving BHP Billiton 30 days to refine their deal before a final decision was made.
On 14 November 2010, the company announced that it was dropping its offer for Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan.
On 22 February 2011 BHP announced that it paid $4.75 billion in cash to Chesapeake Energy Corp. for all of the company's Fayetteville shale assets which include 487,000 acres (1,970 km2) of mineral rights leases and 420 miles (680 km) of pipeline located in north central Arkansas in the United States. The wells on the mineral leases are currently producing about 415 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. BHP plans to spend $800 million to $1 billion a year over 10 years to develop the field and triple production.
On 14 July 2011, BHP Billiton announced that it would acquire Petrohawk Energy of the United States for approximately $12.1 billion in cash, considerably expanding its shale natural gas resources in an offer of $US38.75 per share.
In August 2012, BHP Billiton announced that it was shelving its US$20 billion (£12 billion) Olympic Dam copper and uranium mine expansion project in South Australia, as a result of falling commodity prices and slowing global economic growth. The company simultaneously announced a freeze on approving any major new expansion projects.
Days after announcing the Olympic Dam pull-out, BHP announced that it was selling its Yeelirrie Uranium Project to Canadian Cameco for a fee of around $430 million. The sale was part of a broader move to step away from resource expansion in Australia.
On August 19, 2014, BHP Billiton announced it would create an independent global metals and mining company based on a selection of its aluminium, coal, manganese, nickel and silver assets. The newly formed entity, named South32, was subsequently demerged with listings on the Australian Securities Exchange the JSE and the London Stock Exchange.
BHP Billiton agreed to pay a fine of $25 million to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in 2015 in connection with violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act related to its "hospitality program" at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. BHP Billiton invited 176 government and state-owned enterprise officials to attend the Games on an all-expenses-paid package. While BHP Billiton claimed to have compliance processes in place to avoid conflicts of interest, the SEC found that BHP Billiton had invited officials from at least four countries where BHP Billiton had interests in influencing the officials' decisions (Congo, Guinea, Philippines and Burundi).
In 2017, BHP Billiton announced a $2.2billion investment in the new BP platform in the Gulf of Mexico. During the same year, as part of their plan to increase productivity at the Escondida mine in Chile, which is the world's biggest copper mine, BHP Billiton attempted to get workers to accept a 4-year pay freeze, a 66% reduction in the end-of-conflict bonus offering, and increased shift flexibility. This resulted in a major workers' strike and forced the company to declare 'force majeure' on two shipments, which drove copper prices up by 4%.
BHP Billiton operates a wide variety of mining, processing and oil and gas production operations in over 25 countries, employing approximately 41,000 people.
At the end of fiscal year 2015, BHP Billiton, produced more than 256 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe), 1.7 million tonnes (Mt) of copper, 233 Mt of iron ore, 43 Mt of metallurgical coal and 41 Mt of energy coal.
In addition it has subsidiary logistics companies BHP Transport and Logistics Pty Ltd (incorporating the former BHP Shipping) and BHPB Freight Pty Ltd.

The United Nations Environment Programme has noted that BHP's Ok Tedi mine site's "uncontrolled discharge of 70 million tonnes of waste rock and mine tailings annually has spread more than 10 km (6.2 mi) down the Ok Tedi and Fly rivers, raising river beds and causing flooding, sediment deposition, forest damage, and a serious decline in the area's biodiversity." The resulting devastation caused by the mining of Ok Tedi has included the loss of fish, a vital food source for the local community; loss of forest and crops due to flooding; and the loss of "areas of deep spiritual value for villagers are now submerged in mine tailings."

BHP Billiton is listed as one of the 90 companies extracting and marketing fossil fuels that are responsible for two-thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions since the beginning of the industrial age. Its cumulative emissions until 2010 have been estimated at 7,606 MtCO2e, representing 0.52% of global industrial emissions between 1751-2010, and ranking it the 19th largest corporate polluter. According to BHP Billiton management 10% of these emissions are from direct operations, while 90% are from products sold by the company.
Although BHP Billiton has been voluntarily reporting its direct GHG emissions since 1996, it has been criticised in 2013 for lobbying against carbon pricing in Australia.

Hoeven Discusses Senate Efforts for More Farm Aid
U.S. Senator John Hoeven (R-ND) recently joined Agri-Pulse to discuss ongoing efforts in the U.S. Senate to develop additional farm aid as part of the larger effort to provide COVID-19 pandemic aid. Hoeven is Chairman of the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee. In the interview, Hoeven describes specific dollar figure goals, general structure of the aid, and various needs throughout the agriculture economy as it deals with the pandemic, ongoing trade uncertainty, and depressed commodity markets. He indicates his hope of getting legislation completed later this month.

Hoeven: Senate's ag relief will be in line with House's
A key Republican senator says that the Senate's coronavirus aid package is likely to include a similar level of aid to what was in the House-passed HEROES Act: $33 billion.
Sen. John Hoeven, who chairs the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee, said in an interview for Agri-Pulse'sWashington Week in Review that a big acreage increase is "in the mix" for the new Soil Health and Income Protection Program, a pilot set-aside program that Senate GOP Whip John Thune inserted in the 2018 farm bill.
The HEROES Act would authorize expanding SHIP to 5 million acres. It's now limited to 50,000 acres.
"One of the things we've got to start figuring out is the supply-demand situation and starting to bring these two into harmony. There's that aspect to it as well as the conservation piece," Hoeven said of SHIPP.
Bottom line: He expects the overall cost of the ag provisions to be in the range of $30 billion to $35 billion, which means there won't be in the large increase in Commodity Credit Corp. spending authority that some lawmakers and the American Farm Bureau Federation had been seeking. AFBF wants the CCC spending cap, now $30 billion, raised to $68 billion.
Keep in mind: USDA has an additional $14 billion in CCC authority available starting this month, thanks to the CARES Act that was enacted in late March.
Take note: Hoeven said there could be additional funding for rural broadband expansion both in the new aid package as well as the regular fiscal 2021 spending bill for USDA and FDA.

May 19 21:33:04 jerry-VirtualBox systemd: Stopped Bluetooth service.
Tip - using a static IP should improve your boot time. If you use DHCP, it takes longer to boot as your machine has to be assigned an IP address.
I was reading up on systemd about the stopping/starting services.
I used to have my XP set-ups fine tuned to only run absolute minimal services.
I used to disable many services on Windows too. Now I'm looking for some easy to use software that lists all the services and allows you to enable/disable/mask them. If anyone finds some software, please let me know.
Is this what you mean.?
All need using with caution...!!!
Thanks Dave. I found one. Google systemd-ui.
I found one. Google systemd-ui.
I don't need Google, my wife knows everything!
In Menu start to type system, and select "systemadm"
I won't include it by default just yet in 3.0 as I'm worried inexperienced users will bork their system.
My first opinion after glazing at that screenshot you posted: make the description easier to understand. No difficult languages, no hard-to-read abracadabra. Just plain, simple, easy to read and understand explanation for any "dummy". Too much difficult and technical stuff will scare of the inexperienced user.
This is a dilemma, the tool allows users to enable and disable certain services, by it's nature it is technical.
With no disrespect to you(or other users) unless you fully understand the "technical" impact(implication) of enabling/disabling certain things you could break your install, or stop it booting.
You may think "oh that looks O.K to disable, but something else may rely on that service." It needs to be used with caution.

The Amish Experience
I had been to Philadelphia in the USA few months back for work. Whenever I travel, I always look for something different, offbeat experiences. My hotel in Philadelphia had a stand housing various travel, tourism and local attractions related handouts, in the reception area. I collected bunch of them soon after I checked in there. One particular handout caught my attention. The handout was about visiting the area few miles from Philadelphia which has been inhabited by community referred as Amish community. My long standing wish visiting their area was now in my hands. I had a sight Amish people and their settlements long time back when I was traveling via I-95 from Buffalo to Cleveland, but did not have time to stop and explore. I decided to book a tour on the upcoming weekend and booked it with a organization called The Amish Experience, who have been running this for over 50 years now.
What is so different about Amish people? Like many communities in the USA, Amish community immigrated from Europe in the 18th century. This community follows Protestant Christianity, and prefer to maintain lifestyle by opposing modern technologies, continue to depend on agriculture. They are not aborigines like local native American Indians who also follow similar life, but are not Christians. They continue to speak German and follow close community practices to maintain purity. You can find more information on the Internet, example here on Wiki. Due to these reasons they have become point of attraction.
The tour was to start from a town called Lancaster near Philadelphia. It was February. That early Saturday chilly morning, I took Amtrak train to it, from famous and historic train station of Philadelphia which is famously called 30th Street Station. Lancaster is also historic town, which I explored after I returned from Amish tour. After reaching Lancaster station, I took a cab to reach to tour operator's office.
Lancaster Amtrak Railway Station
Lancaster Railway Station Waiting Lounge
They operate tours in Amish area which is n the heart of Lancaster's Amish Country, surrounded by Amish farms between two towns called Bird-in-Hand and Intercourse. Very weird named towns, indeed!
The drive from the station was through Lancaster county, which was mostly Amish farmlands on the both sides of the road. After reaching the office, we were taken to a nearby heritage site which had model of typical Amish home, and a farm which also had a horse stable, buggy and cow shed. We were accompanied by tour guide for a tour of two-floored house. We got a glimpse of their clothes, various traditional artifacts inside the house, typical games which Amish kids play, walk-through their kitchen. Amish don't use electricity, instead they use methane gas powered equipment. They don't motor cars, but instead would use horses and horse-carts called buggy. This heritage site also had a typical school classroom run by Amish community only where German is first language which is taught to the kids.

Amish Dairy Farm
The second leg our tour was actual tour of Amish area, their farmland. This also was a guided tour with multiple stop-overs at various places. We got a closer glimpse of farms-lands, diary farms, schools, various children and adults in their typical attire, and also people traveling through buggy. We also visited a gift shop which housed many items created by Amish men and women right from their quilts, diary products such as cheese etc. We also walked through dairy farms, where we saw cows being fed, milking facility etc. Also got a close look at methane gas chamber.
The third and last leg our tour was a show which traced dilemma faced by Amish young fraternity. The show is titled 'Jacob's Choice', which tells the story of young boy named Jacob in Amish family. It is a multi–media show with special effects. This show is held in a special F/X theater which is housed inside their office. This 40 minute compelling story is told through the everyday lives of the Fishers, an Old Order Amish family of today. It is story of three Amish family generations. The viewers see young Jacob's struggle in choosing the Amish church, or leaving behind family and community for the allure of the modern world.

The viewers also experience the horrendous religious persecution of Amish forefathers and take part in the perilous voyage to America. This is spectacularly portrayed by specials effects consisting of wind, rain, smoke, fire, ghostly and other Disney-like effects that thrill the senses. Jacob's challenges with faith, tradition, and loved ones in a fast-changing world is a story that touches the viewers. The theater had a magic lantern also and looks like there magic lantern shows conducted. This is was a pleasant surprise to me as I had watched similar show in Pune about which I had written in this blog.
On the way back to Philadelphia, since my Amtrak train was rather late in the evening, I got opportunity to walk over historical downtown of Lancaster town. This town played important role during American Civil War. The Lancaster railway station is also historic. In fact, the station has special gallery of artifacts, photographs depicting this history.

Anyways, this travel back into lives of people called Amish leaves one wondering that even these kinds of things are in ultra-modern country like USA.

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon by a device located a considerable distance from the object or phenomenon. The term was coined in the mid-1950s by an Office of Naval Research scientist to distinguish the information obtained from the first generation of meteorological satellites from that which had been traditionally obtained by airplane-based aerial photography. In practice, however, information obtained from high-flying reconnaissance aircraft such as the U-2 and SR-71 can also be considered to be a product of remote sensing.
water pollution, and other attributes that can be characterized in terms of spectral reflectance. Paired images can also be used to stereoscopically construct digital elevation models (DEMs), which can subsequently be transformed into topographic maps or three dimensional terrain models from space.
Other satellites contain active sensors that generate their own electromagnetic signals and record the reflections rather than passively recording reflected natural radiation. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR), in particular, is a useful tool because it can penetrate clouds and be used at night. The length of a radar antenna is known as its aperture and, in general, the resolution of a radar image is proportional to antenna length. The term synthetic aperture refers to a technique in which the constant movement of a satellite is combined with periodic radar pulses and computer processing to achieve the same effect as would be obtained by using a very large antenna. Pairs of SAR images can be combined to produce interferometric (InSAR) images that portray millimeter to centimeter scale changes in the elevation of Earth's surface. InSAR is becoming an increasingly important tool for monitoring tectonic movements of Earth's crust, subsidence associated with heavy groundwater pumping, and other geologic processes. It can also be used to construct digital elevation models. Another active source remote sensing technique is light detection and ranging (LIDAR), which is similar to radar but uses a laser instead of radio waves to produce extremely detailed topographic maps and images.
It is generally understood that remote sensing satellites must have a resolution of 5 meters (m) or less to be useful for intelligence work. The Landsat 1 satellite, launched by the United States in 1972 and from which imagery was freely available, had a resolution of 80 m. Landsat 7, launched in 1999 and still in service, has resolutions of 15 m for panchromatic images, 30 m for its six multispectral bands, and 60 m for its thermal band. The French SPOT 5 satellite offers commercially available images ranging in resolution from 5 m for panchromatic to 20 m for infrared. Publicly available images with these coarse resolutions are useful for such tasks as delineating large-scale geologic features, evaluating inaccessible or denied terrain, examining land use patterns, and inferring levels of crop stress, but not for detailed intelligence work. In recent years, however, commercial remote sensing satellites have been able to obtain high-resolution images that are of intelligence quality. The commercial Quick Bird satellite launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in late 2001, for example, provides commercially available imagery with 61 cm panchromatic and 2.44 m multispectral resolution. The commercial IKONOS satellite, launched in 1999, can produce 1 m resolution color images.
Even the best publicly available imagery does not approach the resolution provided by classified intelligence satellites. The earliest KeyHole intelligence satellites (KH1 series), the first of which was launched by the United States in 1960, had a resolution of 2 m. Photographic film from KeyHole satellites was recovered using film drops until 1972, when digital imaging and transmission were instituted. The KH12 series is estimated to have a resolution of approximately 2 cm, although no images with this resolution have been released. Intelligence-quality images with sub-meter resolution can be used to assess details of troop or materiel movement, the progress of construction projects, and war damage in denied or otherwise inaccessible areas. Perhaps the most widely known application of remotely sensed images for intelligence work was the use of satellite and U-2 airplane photographs to detect the presence of Russian missiles in Cuba, which led to the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.

Malator is a house in Druidston, Pembrokeshire, Wales, built in the Earth house architectural style. It was built for, and owned by, former Member of Parliament Bob Marshall-Andrews. The architectural firm who designed the building was Future Systems. Malator has appeared on television series such as the More4 programme Homes by the Sea, and has been received positively by critics with Architectural Digest listing it as one of the most innovative houses of the 20th century.

Description

Malator is an Earth house, built with an exterior glass wall facing Druidston Haven and looking out over St Brides Bay, Pembrokeshire. It is sunk into the ground to have a minimal impact on the landscape. Inside, the building has an open-plan format in a style compared to that of a medieval hall. An open log fire is a centrepiece to the room, with communal seating located around it. Multi-coloured pods in that large room divide the space.

History
It was built in 1998 for Bob Marshall-Andrews, QC, who was MP for the constituency of Medway from 1997 to 2010, and his wife Gill Marshall-Andrews. The architects on the project were Future Systems, a design company. The design of the building has resulted in it locally being referred to as the "Teletubby house" in reference to the building from the BBC children's television series. It was built as an earth house for design reasons rather than as part of any ecological requirement.

The building appeared in the first episode of the property television show Homes by the Sea, broadcast on the More4 channel on 16 October 2014. In the show, Marshall-Andrews gave a tour to presenter Charlie Luxton.

The history of the Malator's conception, design and construction is described in an interview of Ivan Margolius with Gill Marshall-Andrews in Jan Kaplický - For the Future and For Beauty book.

Reception
In the dual language book Y Tu Mewn i Gartrefi Cymru / Inside Welsh Homes by Rachael Barnwell and Richard Suggett, Malator was described as representing an experiment that "will continue to change our ideas about the arrangement of our domestic space." Architectural Digest magazine included Malator in a list of the most innovative houses of the 20th century. In the Pembrokeshire volume of The Buildings of Wales series by Thomas Lloyd, Julian Orbach and Robert Scourfield, the authors called Malator a "success, the more shining amid the general failure of house design of the later [20th century]".
