The 2016 Nelson Society Trafalgar Dinner took place in the magnificent Wardroom of HMS Nelson. Over 140 members and guests, suitably attired in Black Tie and with the Ladies in some stunning evening wear, assembled in the main bar of HMS Nelson where the evening started we started with the Chairman's Champagne Reception.
The dinner gong was promptly sounded at 7pm and the members and guests were shown into the spectacular Wardroom. The room has a continuous painting by H Wylie running around the whole upper section of the room depicting scenes from a number of famous engagements, including the Battle of Trafalgar and the Nile. At the head of the room, above the top table is a portrait of Nelson himself, who proudly looked down on the members and guests assembled in his honour.
The meal and entertainment had been brilliantly organised by Committee Member, Jeanette Ryder, who ensured that every detail had been attended to. After being "piped aboard" and introduced to the Top Table, which included Tom Floyd, the High Sheriff of Hampshire and Raglan Tribe, the great x 4 grandson of Admiral Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton. Grace was said by Rev Terry Colling, the Society's Chaplain and dinner commenced with the "Breaking the Line" starter, followed by a "Shot, Ball and Powder" Champagne Sorbet appetiser.
Then came the first special event of the evening: the "Parade of Baron of Beef" when the Cumberland Guard proudly marched around the tables, finally asking permission to carve from the Chairman, Paul Ganjou. The main course of "Fleet Broadside" was simply delicious and was `washed down' with plenty of excellent red wine.
The second special event was the "Parade of Ships of the Line" which was marched around the room several times. The ships were model Galleons adorned with sparklers and made entirely of chocolate! and the cannon balls were Maltesers! (The parade almost had to be cancelled due to "Health and Safety" as it was feared that the sparklers could set off the fire alarms, but Jeanette managed to resolve this, allowing the parade to take place. It was extremely well received and greeted with much approval.
After the "Hardy's Finale" desert, the obligatory port was passed with strict observance of Royal Naval protocol, during which the superbly crafted chocolate "Ships of the Line" were eagerly consumed.
The Loyal toast was proposed by Vice-chairman Chris Brett followed by the toast to the Society, by Tom Floyd, the High Sheriff of Hampshire. It was an amazing surprise to hear that an ancestor of Mr Floyd's, also called Tom Floyd, happened to be a Midshipman in Constantine Phipps 1773 Exploration Voyage to the Arctic, which included another Midshipman who had a famous adventure with a polar bear! Midshipman Floyd was obviously very well acquainted with the young Horatio Nelson and later wrote 'A Midshipman's Narrative' of the voyage, which was eventually published in its own right.
Due to a last minute cancellation the address by Andrew Baines on "Conserving HMS Victory: 200 years of caring for Victory at Portsmouth Dockyard" was valiantly undertaken by HMS Victory's Archaeologist, Michael Lobb – and which was followed by an appreciative response from Paul Ganjou.
With Nelson looking down, the toast to the "Immortal memory" was proposed by Committee Member, Colonel Ray Aldis, with a full and very interesting preamble.
The last event was the Raffle which was again run by the ubiquitous Jeanette. There were many worthwhile prizes, but the First Prize – a Weekend in London including Theatre Tickets – was won by Philip Lumley, who had only joined the Society the previous week!
The evening passed in a flash and was soon sadly all over. Our thanks go to the excellent staff of HMS Nelson and to Chairman Paul Ganjou and his TNS Committee – but above all, our especial gratitude must go to the ever-enthusiastic and tireless Jeanette Ryder.

Q: What is difference between snapshot, image and persistent disk on Google Compute Engine? I have a compute engine instance on google cloud which is running fine. user base is increasing and I wish to upgrade to a bigger compute engine in terms of cpu and memory.
What is the most easy way to do such migration?
What is the snapshot, image, persistent disk features in google compute engine? Are they anyway useful to my task?

A: I figured it out. Lennert answer is good. I will add few more things to complete it. You can always stop a VM, edit the CPU/memory and restart the VM. But this action may change the external IP address and cause lot of issues. You can handle it but it may cause further downtime. You may have to update the new IP address at DNS and inside the code. One way to avoid this hassle is that you should Reserve a static IP adreess [in console, go to NETWORKING > EXTERNAL IP ADDRESS > RESERVE A STATIC IP ADDRESS]. If you do this, your ip address will not change once you restart the VM.
Image is aka Operating System. While creating a VM, you are asked to choose a boot disk, disk which is used to boot your VM from. You can select from pre-defined images.
Snapshot is the copy of the disk. If it is a boot disk, it contains the operating system image too. We can create a snapshot of an existing disk and use it as the boot disk while creating new VM.
Persistent Disk is the disk that can persists even if you delete the VM [provided you have deselect the option of deleting it while deleting the VM]. We can delete  VM and use a persistent disk to create new ones. We can simply pay for persistent disk only, without having any VM.

A: The easiest way is to stop the machine, change the machine type from the console and start the machine again. No need to create backups (snapshots), new VM's, etc.

Katharina Schűtz Zell got stuff done. When the rights of certain people to marry came under attack, she led with her life, entering into a new kind of marriage that put both her and her spouse in danger. When refugees fled from the violence in other cities, she took them in and organized others in her town to harbor them as well. When dissidents with whom she disagreed were sent to prison, she visited them and sent them notes of encouragement.
In writing and in conversation, Zell reminded everyone she met that God's saving love was a gift of grace, never needing to be earned. But in her own heart, she often doubted and worried, wondering what more she could do to earn her place in salvation.
Katharina Schűtz Zell was born, as near as we can tell, in 1498. Some things are different. Unlike in her time, clergy marriage in many parts of Christendom is free from scandal. But Zell's struggle is a timeless one.
I'm writing to you right now to tell you that grace is a gift freely given. Yet I woke this morning and will likely awake tomorrow convicted that I must somehow earn God's love anyway. The Ephesians must have worried too. Otherwise why would they need a letter assuring them plainly that they had been "saved through faith"?
Maybe you, too, struggle to be assured that grace is boundless and that you are sufficient just as you are. If so, take heart. You are not alone. I am with you. Katharina Schutz Zell is with you. The people of Ephesus are with you. And God, no matter what, is with you.
Sola gratia. By grace alone.

Hospitals profitable but skimp on charity care in North Carolina
Many of North Carolina's hospitals are reporting healthy profits, but have been skimping on charity care for their poorest patients, the McClatchy News Service reported.
For example, UNC Hospitals and the Duke University Health System have reported record profits. But at the same time they have hiked their fees and aggressively went after patient debt, McClatchy reported.
"What are they going to do with all the money...? They can't give it to shareholders," Kevin Schulman, a professor of medicine and business at Duke University, told the news service.
The large majority of the state's not-for-profit hospitals spent less than 3 percent of their budgets on charity care, and about a third spent less than 2 percent, noted The Charlotte Observer. Most of those are in rural areas and report losing money, but their patient base is often uninsured and impoverished.
Caldwell Memorial Hospital, which spends less than 2 percent on charity care, has instead sent bill collectors after patient Rachael Shehan, who has virtually no income and a serious respiratory problem, according to the Observer.
"I know the hospital isn't going to help me with my bills," she told the newspaper.

O peso chileno (código CLP) é a moeda oficial do Chile desde 1975. O peso se difundiu em muitas ex-colónias espanholas: Argentina, Chile, Colômbia, Cuba, Filipinas, Uruguai, México e República Dominicana.

Em 6 de abril de 2017, a paridade em relação ao dólar norte americano (USD) era de 656,6 para 1, sendo uma das moedas mais desvalorizadas do continente.

Economia
A economia do Chile destaca-se na América do Sul, durante as décadas de 1970 e 1980 por uma elevada e persistente hiperinflação. Entre 1972 e 1987, a taxa média de inflação foi de 802%. Devido às altas taxas de inflação e instabilidade monetária, em 31 de dezembro de 1959, o antigo peso foi substituído pelo escudo. Devido a um novo processo de hiperinflação por meio do Decreto o peso foi recuperado como moeda a partir de 29 de setembro de 1975, a uma taxa de um peso por mil escudos. Durante a ditadura de Augusto Pinochet, a inflação ficou entre 600 e 800%, causando uma crise de hiperinflação.

Em 29 de setembro de 1975, o Decreto 1123 estabeleceu novamente a equivalência de um peso por mil escudos. As primeiras moedas foram emitidas com valores de um, cinco, dez, cinquenta centavos e um peso. As moedas de um até cinquenta centavos tiveram uma emissão limitada, aumentando a desvalorização que ocorreria durante o final da década de 1980. A pressão inflacionária causada fez com que a economia não suportasse tal equivalência e, em 1982, começou a desvalorizar a moeda nacional. Em 1984, a equivalência era de 100 pesos por dólar. Em 1990, a inflação fez com que fossem extintas as moedas de centavos. As notas de cinco, dez, cinquenta e cem pesos foram substituídas por moedas. Até o final da década também surgiram notas de  e  pesos.

President Trump's July 26 LGBTQ directive, signaling his intention to ban the politicized transgender production from the theater of war, has been overturned.
Pursuant to a complaint filed by U.S. service members (ISIS was tickled pink), a federal judge, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, blocked the enforcement of the president's ban. "The reasons given for the ban do not appear to be supported by any facts," she ruled.
Judge KK was not alone. Predictably, the Joint Chiefs of Staff had pooh-poohed the president, too.
Why "predictably"? Whether Republicans like it or not, the military is government; it works like government, is financed like government and is marred by the same inherent malignancies of government. Like all government-run divisions and departments, the U.S. military is manacled by multiculturalism, feminism and all manner of outré sexual politics, affirmative action and political correctness that kills.
LGBTQ is a political program why? Central to the concept of "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning" in the military is the idea of a group whose members have chosen to identify not as Private X or Private Z, but as a party to a political fraternity that promises and delivers an aggressive, noisy, sexual identity politics.
Evangelizing for the cause is implicit in the introduction of this political production into the military. Ditto payment for drastic elective medical procedures and the attendant hormonal maintenance.
In other words, LGBTQ in the military isn't about enhancing a fighting force; it's about introducing another state-driven reformation program. Egalitarian access here aims, inadvertently (as always), to grow an arm of government and, at the same time, "re-educate" the country.
As trailblazing as Ms. Gutmann's shoe-leather investigation was, back then, into the way women had transformed the military, its morale and readiness – never could this author have imagined that from gender neutrality, the military would move into the even Braver New World of gender fluidity.
This craven indifference is evinced in Kollar-Kotelly's recent ruling and in leadership's reaction to President Trump's transgender-policy impetus. When Sen. Orrin Hatch, joined by GOP leaders, enjoined the president against his transgender ban, did he/they show any interest in "good-faith information" about how transsexualism "plays out at ground level," to echo Gutmann's charge against political and military leadership, in 2000?
More money and materiel are not what America's sclerotic military needs.

That Was Rock 'n' Roll!
In Record Makers and Breakers, author John Broven explores the hidden history of the birth of the independent labels that brought rock 'n' roll to the masses
By David McGee
Music historian and author John Broven has put together the story of the birth of rock & roll in a way no one else has quite managed before and in doing so delivered a work essential to understanding the concatenation of intertwined factors that helped bring the new music to the masses. In Record Makers and Breakers: Voices of The Independent Rock 'n' Roll Pioneers (University of Illinois Press), Broven, author of two respected histories of Louisiana music (1974's Rhythm & Blues in New Orleans, and 1983's South to Louisiana: The Music of the Cajun Bayous), tracks down not only artists and label personnel from those days, but also explores the symbiotic relationship between labels, jukebox distributors, DJs, record retailers and even record pressing plants in the developing framework of the rising independent record labels. Some of his interviews are invaluable-he is the only writer known to have ever interviewed Specialty Records founder Art Rupe, for example, and in one of his most important finds he documents the career of Mimi Trepel, described by one reviewer as "the unseen heroine of rock 'n' roll," who started out on radio in Brooklyn and ascended to the head of foreign distribution for London Records, one of the few women behind the scenes in those years, and largely ignored until now-and the stories he gathered from the likes of Ahmet Ertegun, George Avakian, Jerry Wexler and others are both vital and entertaining. Some may complain that Broven shies away from examining the more unsavory aspects of the business, but in fact he does come to grips with those accusations in his own fashion; moreover, the book is not a Frederic Dannen, Hit Man-style expose but an attempt to correct, and in many instances set down for the first time, the complex history of the rock 'n' roll era's genesis.
TheBluegrassSpecial.com spoke to Broven via email about his work on Record Makers and Breakers. In addition, with thank to the University of Illinois Press, we are able to offer a small excerpt from the book. It's fascinating history, thoroughly researched and well observed, presented in Broven's usual accessible style, which is informed and respectful but not uncritical or without his usual dollop of wry humor.
How long were you working on this book, from research to writing? Do you know how many interviews you conducted?
John Broven: I suppose you could say I started the book when I wrote my first article for the first issue of Blues Unlimited (of Bexhill-on-Sea, England) on Louisiana record man J.D. Miller way back in 1963.
In 2004, realizing that most of the surviving pioneers were in their 70s and 80s (and more), I resolved to write the book and duly stepped up my interview schedule. After the arduous transcribing process—like compiling indexes, there is no quick and easy way!—I began writing in earnest on July 4, 2005. The manuscript was delivered to University of Illinois Press in May 2008 and was published in March this year. Through the years, I interviewed just over 100 people who were quoted in the book.
Who among these record people had never had his/her story told before?
Broven: London Records' Mimi Trepel story had never been published before and has been something of a "hit" with readers and reviewers; and surprisingly Gene Goodman (Benny's brother and cofounder of Arc Music) said this was his first interview. Johnny and Freddy Bienstock (Bigtop) explained the intervention of publishers into the record arena. And I was delighted with the first interviews with the Cash Box editors: Ira Howard, Irv Lichtman and Marty Ostrow.
Then there was Joe Dreyhaupt, the pressing plant director at Shelley Products; and Dick Alen who discussed the work of booking agents and their relationship with the record makers; also Buck Ram's publicist Jean Bennett. Britain's Jeffrey Kruger licensing travails with Herald-Ember were a revelation. And what a great story Col. Jim Wilson told as a King Records branch manager.
Henry Stone, Stan Lewis and Floyd Soileau were able to explain the machinations of the distribution system, as did distributor's salesman Harold "Mr. Blues" Ladell (who also doubled as a pioneering disc jockey). Both Cosimo Matassa and Joe Bihari related their experiences as teenage jukebox operators' assistants. And how about George Avakian's marvelous treatise on the Battle of the Speeds (LP v. 45)? Or Shannon Williams' brilliant reminiscences on the workings of Ernie's Record Mart mail order business?
The one thing I learned through the years is that one should never consider a person to be fully interviewed on the basis of one interview. If a person has had an interesting career, inevitably there are still fascinating stories—and observations—to be dug up.
Good examples are Joe Bihari (Modern), Billy Davis (Anna, Chess) and Bobby Robinson (Fire-Fury), whom I interviewed on several occasions. Each time there was much to savor. Although these men had been interviewed in the past, I think this is the first time their stories have been told so comprehensively.
Likewise, I was pleased to put the work into its full historical context of Berle Adams (Mercury), Dave Appell (Cameo-Parkway), Harold Battiste (Specialty, A.F.O.), Howard Bedno (Cobra, promo man), Miriam Bienstock (Atlantic), Luigi Creatore (of Hugo & Luigi), Cy Leslie (Pickwick), Fred Foster (Monument), Bob Marcucci (Chancellor), Doug Moody (Herald-Ember), Art Rupe (Specialty) and Shelby Singleton (Mercury, SSS Int., Sun).
Marshall Chess provides an enlightening look at the inner workings of Chess Records in John Broven's book Record Makers and Breakers
With Marshall Chess I stuck purely to the "record man" subject and came away with an enlightening interview on the workings of Chess Records; and Donn Fileti gave a gem of an interview from a young record collector's perspective.
Artists Paul Evans, B.B. King, Ruth McFadden and Maxine Brown gave trenchant industry-insider comments.
Then there are the other pioneers who are no longer with us. How pleased I am to have preserved some of the many stories and contributions to the indie record business of: Hoss Allen, Ahmet Ertegun, Lee Magid, J.D. Miller, Juggy Murray, Sam Phillips, Don Pierce, Doc Pomus, Googie Rene, Marshall Sehorn, Arthur Shimkin, Eddie Shuler, Hy Weiss, Shannon Williams and. Jerry Wexler. I am sorry, though, that they (and others) could not see the results of my endeavors.
Then there are the interviews with Seymour Stein, Johnny Otis, Morty Craft, Dave Burgess and Joe Johnson. I could go on and on.
But think of the stories that have been lost from the "uninterviewed" Leonard Chess, Syd Nathan, Herman Lubinsky, George Goldner, Jules and Saul Bihari, Ernie Young, Clark Galehouse, Bess Berman, Florence Greenberg, Paul Ackerman and, yes, Morris Levy. Still, I'm thankful to have interviewed those pioneers that I did.
Why did you feel it was important to include the distributors and even the pressing plants in the story?
Broven: Add to this list the jukebox distributors and operators, one-stop and record shop owners, disc jockeys, music publishers, trade magazine editors, studio owners and promo men. Together, they created the independent record business—it wasn't just the record men and women, or the artists.
Do you believe the industry profiled in your book was less corrupt than it became during the years chronicled in Frederic Dannen's book, Hit Men? How do you answer the charge that the pioneers profiled in your book made their fortunes by pilfering monies owed the artists?
Broven: First, Dannen's Hit Men seemed to portray a far more cynical and "dark" industry from the 1960s onward.
But let me try to put a positive spin on things. I think my book gives a fresh perspective on the inner workings of the cottage industry that was the early indie record business, for all its faults (as hinted above). Indeed, for too long, I feel music history writing has been tilted too much toward the artist and I wanted to restore the balance by highlighting the record makers' contributions and successes—often against all the odds—along with, importantly, the failures and hustles.
I think my work does show the industry in a more compassionate light while not ignoring the less savory aspects. Therefore, I was pleased with this recent review comment: "'Record Makers' is an essential book for anyone interested in not only American music culture but American culture, period." (Ed Hurtt, American Songwriter). Or as Ahmet Ertegun said, it is a great American story.
Let us not forget that the indie record makers literally built an industry from scratch, which has had lasting cultural and social implications. At the end of it, we are left with marvelous music that is preserved forever.
Did you find anything in your research or interviews that surprised you with respect to what you thought you knew about a particular subject, or challenged the conventional wisdom about the era as you understood it?
Broven: I came to understand just how much the industry was intertwined, with the individual elements all vital toward creating a hit record. And, really, it was all about the hit record. By the same token, I could see the elements of cooperation and friendship between supposed competitors.
I wasn't fully aware how the industry developed from its small beginnings during World War II with the crucial help of the jukebox operators, who acted as distributors, bulk purchasers and "free" promoters with jukebox plays—and importantly dictated the "sound" of R&B, hillbilly and then rock 'n' roll. Also I was unaware just what a big role model Capitol Records was for the indie record makers.
Too, I didn't realize just how many indie artists were snapped up by the major labels (Elvis was neither the first nor last!); and the extent to which the majors bought up the bigger indie labels in the course of time.
Also with the majors, it became clear to me just how quickly they cornered the hillbilly market, but basically left the R&B market to the indies until rock 'n' roll came along. As well, the majors participated in the indies' rise by pressing many of their records.
Conventional wisdom challenged? I had no idea that Bigtop Records was set up in the hope that Elvis Presley would be signed from RCA Victor. Even the name was designed to appeal to Presley's manager, Col. Tom Parker.
I could see the indie labels were covering original records in the mid-1950s just as much as the majors; and understood how the indies benefited by having their songs covered by major labels. So it wasn't merely a question of the Big Bad Majors pillaging the Poor Indies.
I always thought major label Columbia missed out on rock 'n' roll in the 1950s. In a sense they did, but as George Avakian said, they were not concerned at all because they were enjoying massive LP sales (with far bigger profit margins) from their "career" pop artists.
It was also good to understand how Cash Box magazine conducted its reviews and compiled its charts. And Art Rupe's staff rules were revelatory on the nuts-and-bolts operations of a successful indie record company in the mid-1950s.
Most of all, I could see the importance of the song to a record company. As I said in the book, I was searchin'; I learned a lot in the process—and am still learning.

Elvis Presley, 'Teddy Bear'
(an excerpt from Record Makers and Breakers: Breakers: Voices of The Independent Rock 'n' Roll Pioneers, by John Broven)
When the Aberbachs [Julian and Jean] appointed Johnny Bienstock to head Bigtop in 1958, he had no idea how to run a record company. So he went down to Philadelphia to pick up tips from former Hill & Range writers, Bernie Lowe and Kal Mann, who had jumped out of the gate quickly with their Cameo label. As well, Mann and Lowe had just written a summer 1957 Elvis Presley No. 1 hit, "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear." "They let me come by and look over their shoulders," said Bienstock, "because I didn't know how to handle certain things productionwise, inventorywise." It was also his introduction to creative independent label royalty accounting: "I said to myself, 'Look, this is very good but I'm not erasing things and putting new numbers in. But I'll sell a few records.'"
The first semblance of a Bigtop hit came in November 1958 when young Bobby Pedrick Jr. (later known as Robert John) scored modestly with the bright teen rocker "White Bucks And Saddle Shoes," written by Hill & Range staffers Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman: That's what the kids all choose ... sang Johnny enthusiastically. "That record came out at exactly the same time as Bobby Darin [with 'Queen Of The Hop,' a follow-up to 'Splish Splash']," he said. "They were both on the 'try-out' [called Rate A Record] that Dick Clark had. He used to try out new records for the kids to react to, and Bobby Darin overwhelmingly beat 'White Bucks.' Although 'White Bucks' was never really a hit [peaking at No. 74], it was big enough to sell records. I thought it was a very good record."
Sammy Turner's 'Lavender Blue (Dilly Dilly), established the Bigtop label when it became a #3 hit in 1959. Dick Clark said, 'I got to hate that song with a passion, but I'll tell you something, this is a good record. If I didn't hate the song so much I'd put it on the air of my dance show right away because I think it will sell. But if you can get that record played elsewhere in my town, I'll play it.'
Bigtop was established by Sammy Turner's "Lavender Blue (Dilly, Dilly)," a No. 3 hit in summer 1959. "That was a very, very big record produced by Leiber and Stoller who were songwriters of ours," said Johnny Bienstock, "they wrote for Elvis and other people.
There was nobody in our office that knew anything about the record business. Freddy didn't, Jean and Julian didn't, and so we had to rely on them. They were making records not only for us, but for Atlantic and others. We were very friendly with them, and later on we became partners [in Fort Knox Music/Trio Music Co.].
"Then television shows became big, such as Dick Clark in Philadelphia, you had this American Bandstand show. I used to drive down on every Wednesday once he became prominent. He had a guy by the name of Tony Mammarella who was his assistant, and he screened you before you got to see Dick Clark. I personally got very friendly with Dick right away. He liked Sammy Turner's 'Lavender Blue (Dilly, Dilly)' a lot but ... I said, 'Dick, but what?' He told me that when he was a high school kid he used to work in a post office at Christmas time, like most teenagers do, and next to his desk was another guy who constantly used to sing Lavender blue, dilly dilly. It drove him bananas! Dick said, 'I got to hate that song with a passion, but I'll tell you something, Johnny, this is a good record. If I didn't hate the song so much I'd put it on the air of my dance show right away because I think it will sell. But if you can get that record played elsewhere in my town, I'll play it.'
"Jocko Henderson [Your ace from outer space] and Georgie Woods [The guy with the goods] were at the black station WDAS, there were two or three black stations in Philadelphia. I made sure that all those black stations played the record particularly since Sammy Turner was a black artist, and he had that very soulful rendition of 'Lavender Blue (Dilly, Dilly).' Then when we got on WFIL, I saw Dick Clark a week later and I said, 'Look, I got you surrounded. On top of which without you playing it on the big nationwide show, I've already sold about 100,000.' 'Wow,' he says, 'I'm going on it.' It was Sammy's only big hit; he had other little things like 'Always' [No. 19], 'Paradise' [No. 46], and 'Sweet Annie Laurie' [No. 100].
"Dick didn't ask for a piece of the action. At that time he was not as forward, even though I know from certain people that he would make deals of that sort. But I figured it was a bit rash and early [to give payola], I would rather bring some goodies. I would hate to give money to them. Like if a jockey has a baby, I used to buy the baby a birth gift, became a godfather, and things like that. I made myself hopefully that they would like me. And that way I got records played."
Even though "Lavender Blue" was a top 3 record, Jean Aberbach was not happy back at the Hill & Range ranch. "The interesting part is that the record company was supposed to make up for the loss of the sheet music sales," said Johnny Bienstock. "And Jean was mad at me that 'Lavender Blue (Dilly, Dilly)' didn't belong to us, it belonged to another publisher and became a big hit. He said, 'What's the matter with you, that's not the idea to have just record sales, the idea is to promote our copyrights.' I said, 'Look, there are certain things that happen in the record business that you may not understand. I can give him [Sammy Turner] all the Hill & Range songs to sing and if he can't do it, what good is it? You can't force it. But if there is a thing that you can do well that can be a hit, I don't care whose copyright it is, we'll make money out of the record. That's what record companies do; Atlantic Records doesn't care who has the copyright."
Del Shannon's 'Runaway' was Bigtop's biggest hit, a #1 international best seller.
Johnny Bienstock: 'At this time I didn't even know of Del Shannon. His real name was Charlie Westover. To tell you the truth when I first met him, I saw a guy that was about 26 years old, with a big cigar in his hand and my heart fell in my pants. I was doing a record hop with him in Teaneck, New Jersey, and I said, 'You gotta get rid of that cigar, you got to lose at least 5 to 8 pounds; they'll think that you're a father. You're not a kid that's running away, you don't sound like a runaway when they look at you.''
The biggest Bigtop hit was the No. 1 international best seller, "Runaway" by Del Shannon, in early summer 1961. "Well, Del Shannon was the product of a guy that I was very, very friendly with in Ann Arbor, Michigan,' said Johnny Bienstock, "his name was Ollie McLaughlin, he was a disc jockey. He first took me to Johnny and the Hurricanes, who came out of a stable by two partners named Irving Micahnik and Harry Balk [they were connected once with Al Green at the Flame Show Bar in Detroit and operated in the name of EmBee Productions]. Harry Balk was the music man in the record business and Irving Micahnik, a Russian name, was the money man. They bought me this solid gold Swiss watch when I had 'Runaway,' and they bought a mink cape for my wife. They were so delighted about this big hit.
"The record was done and cut in Detroit but then Harry Balk brought the stuff to New York. We mastered in New York, usually at Atlantic Records if I could get Tommy Dowd to let me into his studio; and I was very friendly with Tommy Dowd. Oh, he was a fantastic engineer! I said to Harry [Balk] in the studio: 'It ['Runaway'] is so bad, so flat, we've got to speed it up.' And we speeded it up a full 10 seconds, so then the sound was pleasant to the ear. But when Del had to do it live, he couldn't go up that high. It was a terrific sound in the bridge that suddenly helped the record along. A guy by the name of Maximillian Crook, he had this crazy instrument like a moog that he played [actually a musitron]. He wanted to protect it, it was his invention and everything.
"At this time I didn't even know of Del Shannon. His real name was Charlie Westover. To tell you the truth when I first met him, I saw a guy that was about 26 years old, with a big cigar in his hand and my heart fell in my pants. I was doing a record hop with him in Teaneck, New Jersey, and I said, 'You gotta get rid of that cigar, you got to lose at least 5 to 8 pounds; they'll think that you're a father. You're not a kid that's running away, you don't sound like a runaway when they look at you.' That record was the only natural record in my career, that record got on the air and orders would come in by the tens of thousands in every territory in the United States. It was No. 1 here and No. 1 in England, too."
Johnny Bienstock credited his disc jockey friend, Bob Bartel of Radio WLOF Orlando, Florida, with breaking "Runaway" literally overnight. "The next morning [distributor] Henry Stone in Miami called me up," Johnny added. "He said, 'You got a record out something 'Running Love' or whatever.' I said, "Running ...?" 'C'mon, I have so many calls.' I said, 'Could it possibly be 'Runaway'?' He said, 'Yeah, I think that's what it is. I'm your distributor, and I haven't even got a sample: send me 20,000 records! I've had so many calls and I haven't even heard the record.' That's his story, absolutely true. And our New York distributor Gladys Pare [of Portem] ordered 30,000 copies.
"We did not publish 'Runaway' but I bought the copyright from Ollie McLaughlin. It took a while and he needed some money. I got a $12,000 bonus from Jean Aberbach, not even Julian, it was Jean because that's one thing he did do when we brought something in." Other big singles by Del Shannon were 'Hats Off To Larry' (No. 5) and 'Little Town Flirt' (No. 12). All told he had nine Hot 100 hits on Bigtop between 1961 and 1963. The Del Shannon Runaway album, like so many by indie hit acts at the time, fared poorly, but the follow-up LP, Little Town Flirt, made No. 12 in 1963.

An allergic reaction to any given substance can be either local or systemic.
• Stress increases the adrenal gland's production of cortisol, spurring the sympathetic nervous system to overproduce epinephrine and norepinephrine. An oversupply of these hormones reduces the immune system's effectiveness.
• Stress lowers the level of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), a neurotransmitter that keeps air passageways open and prevents the brain from ordering an attack-the-allergens response.
1. Cedarwood oil is deeply relaxing to the bronchial area, slows down rapid breathing in asthma, calms allergic reactions and helps the chest muscles relax to open the lungs for more air.
2. Chamomile essential oil is particularly soothing and can help topically for allergic skin reactions.
3. While typically known as soothing and calming, lavender oil also has an anti-inflammatory effect. It is useful for allergies by helping reduce stress and calming symptoms of an inflammatory allergic response.


INTER MILAN have reportedly offered Ivan Perisic a new contract while his agent travelled to Manchester yesterday to meet Jose Mourinho.
According to FCInterNews.it, the agent of Perisic has visited Manchester United to give them the latest on the Croatian international.
The deal looked to have stalled since the 28-year-old went on a pre-season tour to China with Inter Milan.
Manchester United were unwilling to allow Anthony Martial to join Inter as a makeweight in the deal.
They wanted to take the Frenchman on loan and have a fixed price included in the deal for the permanent future transfer of Martial.
IVAN PERISIC is reportedly the subject of serious interest from Manchester United, but who is he?
But with Inter now offering Perisic a new deal worth over £4.5m a year, his agent Fali Ramadani is said to have jetted to Manchester to meet Mourinho and United's directors.
Perisic reportedly wants to find out United's intentions before deciding whether to sign the new contract on offer at the San Siro.
So far Man United have been unsuccessful in two bids, but Jose Mourinho could put in a third offer for the winger.
This comes after Mourinho admitted he has given up his attempts to lure Gareth Bale to Old Trafford.
Mourinho said this week that if Bale didn't play against Manchester United in the UEFA Super Cup, he would fight to bring him to the club.
However, Bale started the match and Mourinho admitted defeat afterwards, saying: "I think the club clearly wants him, the manager wants him and he wants the club so it's game over, even before it's started.

Q: Trouble getting multi-select filter checkbox to work on LWC datatable I am currently trying to implement a filter menu dropdown with multi-select checkboxes. When a user checks two "groups" or more, the lightning datatable will display/filter only records from the selected groups.
Something like this
Multi-Select Checkbox Image
Currently, the filter works but with only 1 "group" selected at a time. How would I pass multiple checkbox values from my JS into the SOQL statement in my APEX controller? The groups checkboxes are also being dynamically populated from a custom object and periodically someone will add a new group so I want to avoid hardcoding any of the group values into the code.
Here is my HTML

Currently, I am passing groupName from the JS into the Controller but its only 1 value at a time.
Thanks!

A: Your problem is you are only taking one value at a time, as target is only containing the current checked or unchecked box.
   itemsToFitler = [];

    handleCheck(event){

        let v = event.target.value;

        if (event.target.checked) {
            this.itemsToFitler.push(v);
        } else {
            const index = this.itemsToFitler.indexOf(v);
            if (index > -1) {
                this.itemsToFitler.splice(index, 1);
            }
        }

          this.getFilters();
    }

    getFilters() {

       getAccountFilterSelect ({subAccountId: this.url, projectStoresOnly: 'false', groupName: this.itemsToFitler})
                .then(data => {
                    this.accList = data;

                    })

                })
          }

So if your handle method adds or removes from an array you can then call anther method that will handle the apex call. You can ofcourse use apexRefresh instead of calling the method again

These sensors are housed in a rugged, chemically inert PVDF sealed housing for long life. They mount above the material surface and measure distance downward without contact. Outputs respond to that measured distance.
Applications include pump control, bulk inventory, batch processing, water management and high/low level alarms.
Use adjustable interface features like switch hysteresis and time delays to build complete solutions such as pump controls to maintain level. Save cost by eliminating PLCs, delay circuits and time delay relays!
Use SenixVIEW software (see separate data sheet) to adjust all sensor features. You can view, analyze or log data to optimize your application. Disconnect and the sensor retains the setup.
Application setups can be saved for future recall. From a single sensor inventory part you can quickly clone sensors, without recalibration, for any number of different field installations.
In addition to the model's serial data interface there are five simultaneous outputs, fully configurable with SenixVIEW.
These include voltage (0-10 VDC) and two current loops (4-20 mA sinking and sourcing). Both out- put types have user-selectable voltage/current ranges and end- points for best resolution. Easily invert the analog output slope.
Two switches are SenixVIEW configurable as "PNP" or "NPN" type (sourcing or sinking). Each has adjustable set point, hysteresis, window, initial conditions, ON delay, OFF delay and loss of target response to easily create controls and alarms!

Hero Para who led charge on an Argentine machine gun post - and won last VC of 20th Century: Sergeant Ian McKay's disregard for his own life was awe-inspiring, says LORD ASHCROFT... yet eerily he and his wife had vivid premonitions of his death
During the long sea crossing from England to the Falklands, Sergeant Ian McKay wrote to a friend in the spring of 1982: 'I have no intention of taking any risks and getting killed. If I do, then it will be to protect my men, to save lives.'
His words were tragically prescient. He would go on to be awarded the last Victoria Cross earned in the 20th Century for the extreme valour and selflessness that cost him his life.
The 29-year-old's call to arms had been sudden and unexpected as events in the South Atlantic escalated.
Finishing a game of football with a group of friends, he had received an urgent message to return to his barracks at Aldershot in Hampshire.
'He came in and went out,' his wife Marica later recalled. 'I put his dinner in a Tupperware container and he went straight away. He just said, "I've got to go."
'I never saw him again.'
Along with his comrades from 3 Para, McKay landed at Port San Carlos on the western coast of East Falkland on the night of May 21, 1982. As the war moved towards what would prove to be its bloody final phase, his men's instructions were to dig in, knowing that if they remained visible, they would be easy targets for the Argentine air force.After exhausting marches under cover of darkness, the Paras arrived at their destination, Mount Estancia, unscathed. Each man had carried loads of up to 120 lb, with the total distance covered on foot since landing amounting to more than 50 miles.
From there they would be part of the final assault on Port Stanley, the Falklands' capital.
It was at this point that McKay and his men became aware of the deaths of Colonel 'H' Jones and 14 others from 2 Para during the hard-won victories at Darwin and Goose Green. Many other Paras had been wounded. But 3 Para knew it was time to press on, and to try to ensure those devastating losses had not been in vain.
Ian McKay, 1953-1982, member of the 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment awarded a posthumous VC for his actions in a night attack on Mount Longdon in the Falklands
On June 2, they undertook a reconnaissance mission to Mount Longdon, a key target in the battle for Port Stanley, while McKay's patrol moved forward to the bridge over the Murrell River, another vital strategic location. Here they had come across well-placed Argentine mortar fire and decided to pull back and once again dig in.
Over the next week, more patrols put out feelers, and on June 6 and 7 there were modest firefights, but no full-scale battles.
Meanwhile, tactics to decisively end the enemy's occupation of the Falklands were being worked out. Mount Longdon, which loomed like a fortress between the Paras' position and Port Stanley, was identified as the Argentine defence's strongest point. The final push across the mountain to the capital began on June 11. By dawn the men were preparing for the impending battle, and McKay was, in the words of one comrade, ready to 'look after the lads almost like a mother hen'.
He had 28 men in his platoon, including himself. But, say friends, he had a strong feeling that he might not survive the battle.
Sergeant Ian McKay (left) and Lieutenant Colonel Herbert Jones (right)'I remember Ian coming up to me just before the battle for Mount Longdon,' recalled Company Sergeant Major John Weeks. 'He said, "I am not going to come back from this." This was maybe an hour before we crossed the river and got into our formations for the battle.'
The long citation for McKay's posthumous VC takes up the story of a single episode in the long, fraught and confused battle:
'During the night of June 11/12, 1982, 3rd Battalion the Parachute Regiment mounted a silent night attack on an enemy battalion position on Mount Longdon, an important objective in the battle for Port Stanley.
'Sergeant McKay was platoon sergeant of 4 Platoon, B Company, which, after the initial objective had been secured, was ordered to clear the northern side of the long east/west ridge feature, held by the enemy in depth, with strong, mutually supporting positions.
'By now the enemy were fully alert and resisting fiercely. As 4 Platoon's advance continued, it came under increasingly heavy fire from a number of well-sited enemy machine-gun positions on the ridge, and received casualties.
'The enemy fire was still both heavy and accurate. Taking Sergeant McKay, a corporal and a few others, and covered by supporting machine-gun fire, the platoon commander moved forward to reconnoitre the enemy positions but was hit by a bullet in the leg, and command devolved upon Sergeant McKay.
'It was clear that instant action was needed if the advance was not to falter and increasing casualties to ensue. Sergeant McKay decided to convert this reconnaissance into an attack in order to eliminate the enemy positions.
'He was in no doubt of the strength and deployment of the enemy as he undertook this attack. He issued orders, and taking three men with him, broke cover and charged the enemy position.
'The assault was met by a hail of fire. The corporal was seriously wounded, a private killed and another wounded. Despite these losses, Sergeant McKay, with complete disregard for his own safety, continued to charge the enemy position alone.
'On reaching it, he despatched the enemy with grenades, thereby relieving the position of beleaguered 4 and 5 Platoons, who were able to redeploy with relative safety. Sergeant McKay, however, was killed at the moment of victory.
'Without doubt, Sergeant McKay's action retrieved a most dangerous situation and was instrumental in ensuring the success of the attack. His was a coolly calculated act, the dangers of which must have been only too apparent to him beforehand. Undeterred, he performed with outstanding selflessness, perseverance and courage. With a complete disregard for his own safety, he displayed courage and leadership of the highest order, and was an inspiration to all those around him.'
His friend Corporal Ian Bailey said of McKay's final moments: 'The last time I saw Ian McKay alive, he was still moving on my right. I was hit, went down, tried to get up and never saw him again.
'There was firing going on, two explosions. Then it stopped and then there was nothing.'
It is understood that as he lay dead or dying, McKay was hit by at least three bullets.
The Argentine surrender came just two days later, on June 14.
Ian McKay's body was recovered and brought back to England. He was buried along with 15 comrades from the battle in a funeral with full military honours at the Aldershot Military Barracks on November 26, 1982.
The last two men to see him alive were among the pallbearers: Corporal Bailey and Colour Sergeant Brian Faulkner, who said of his friend: 'Mac was the bravest of the brave.'
In an interview with me at her home near Lincoln, Marica McKay recalled her husband with affection and pride. She told me: 'Ian was a real gentleman. He was a family-orientated man – straightforward and quite private. There were lots of things in his past career that he never discussed with me and that I learnt about only after his death.'
British troops arriving in the Falklands Islands during the Falklands War
Mrs McKay was at her Army home in Aldershot when she learnt that her husband, the father of a four-year-old daughter, had been killed. Like him, she had had a strong feeling he would not return from the Falklands.
'I had said to someone I was working with, "Ian is not coming back." I just knew that things would change after the British sank the Belgrano.' [An incident that remains controversial to this day, when, on May 2, the Argentine cruiser was sunk with the loss of 323 lives.]
'I heard the news of his death on a Monday. A friend had just rung me to say her kettle had broken and could I get her a new one. Then the doorbell rang, and it was Colonel Simon Brewis and Sue Patton, the wife of another senior officer.
'I knew then, as soon as I came down the stairs, that Ian had been killed. News of his death was not a surprise because I had been expecting it.'
Mrs McKay said she knew little about her husband's astounding bravery until four months after his death, when news of his posthumous Victoria Cross was announced.
'I was incredibly proud when he was awarded the VC,' she said. 'But a part of me just wishes he had hidden behind a rock. It was a bittersweet award. Ian had no fear and his thoughts would have been to protect his men.
'If Ian was alive today, he would say his VC was not just for him, it was for all his comrades.'
Sergeant McKay's heroism will never be forgotten. Over the past decades, many monuments and memorials have been put up in his honour. In 2012, the 30th anniversary of the conflict, the military historian Andrew Roberts wrote: 'The word "hero" is used all too easily and often nowadays, even to describe sportsmen and entertainers.
'Ian McKay was a genuine hero, someone who at the age of 29 quite deliberately sacrificed his own life in battle so that others – his comrades in the 3rd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment – might live.'
A few years after his death, Mrs McKay said that while at home she was 'visited' by an image of her husband, who was ironing one of his shirts. He told her: 'I wouldn't have changed anything.'
DESCRIBED by his head teacher as 'one of the most gifted pupils ever to pass through my hands in 42 years of teaching', Jeff Glover studied engineering at Oxford University, where he made his mark as a pilot in the University Air Squadron before deciding on an RAF career.
By the time of the invasion of the Falklands – on his 28th birthday – he was a Harrier pilot at RAF Wittering, on the Cambridgeshire/Northamptonshire border.
'The squadron had been put on a footing for possible deployment,' he told me in an interview at his Lincolnshire home. 'There was a feeling of excitement, because this was what we had been trained for.' Glover was chosen to fly one of his squadron's six Harrier jets from RAF St Mawgan in Cornwall to Ascension Island in the Atlantic Ocean – a journey of nearly nine hours that required mid-air refuelling.
The final stage of the journey was completed by ship.
On the morning of May 21, 1982, Glover took part in his first wartime mission. But things did not go to plan. 'We took off at around 8am – it was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. I just wanted to perform to the best of my ability, and not let the side down,' he said.
'I lined up behind my boss on the [aircraft] carrier [Hermes]. We each had two cluster bomb units and guns loaded. He selected full power and four seconds later I, too, went to full power, chased him down the flight deck and left the end of the ski jump at 140mph.
'We started to climb to around 25,000ft but the boss could not retract his undercarriage. He had to abort his mission because of the problem, leaving me to complete the mission… I was given targets in the Port Howard area of West Falkland. I let down from around 20,000ft over land and dropped down to 200ft for about four minutes.
'I was flying at 535 knots [615mph]. Once I identified the jetty area, I went into a hard turn to the left. Then I felt and heard "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
'The aircraft entered a maximum-rate roll to the right – the roll taking no more than a second, but it was as if it was happening in slow time. I had three separate thoughts: the first was "I cannot control the roll". The second was "that sea is awfully close" and the third was "I have to time my ejection right".
Marcia McKay, widow of Falklands Victoria Cross winner Sgt Ian McKay outside Buckingham Palace after she received his award
'After the aircraft had gone through 320 degrees, I looked down and saw my right hand pull the ejection seat handle. I then heard a metallic bang and I lost consciousness.
'I woke up about 4ft underwater, sunny-side up, and flapped to the surface. I had been hit by a Blowpipe missile that had been fired from the ground by an Argentinian.'
The missile had hit and taken off half of the aircraft's right wing, remembered Glover. 'After I ejected, my parachute opened and I dropped into the freezing sea.
'So, I was in the water in my protective immersion suit, and after what seemed like five minutes of being in shock, I started to think about getting into my self-inflating dinghy, which was attached to me by two quick-release clips.
'My left side was completely incapacitated from various injuries. I then heard voices and looked around. There was a little rowing boat with some Argentine troops in it, holding rifles.
'In my stupidity, I reached for my RAF-issue pistol but, thankfully, I had mistakenly left it on Hermes. The soldiers pulled me out of the water and I was from then on, for the next 50 days, a prisoner of war.'
After treatment for his injuries – a broken arm, a broken shoulder blade and a broken collarbone – at a makeshift medical centre, Glover was asked if he wanted to meet the man who had shot him down. 'I said OK, and I was then introduced to Lieutenant Sergio Fernandez. We shook hands and I said, "Good effort." '
On May 25, Glover was taken to Comodoro Rivadavia, a city and military base on the Argentine mainland. With him were four or five Argentine pilots who had been shot down by the British.
As the war continued, Argentina used Glover as a propaganda tool. He was – falsely – quoted in newspapers in Buenos Aires as saying: 'My people are wrong, and that is dangerous. Our forces are suffering the effects of the Argentine offensive. Their morale is deteriorating due to the confusion caused by air attacks.'
Glover told me that although he was never aggressively interrogated or mistreated, it was a tough two months, with his future uncertain. 'For the first week, I was locked in a room and not allowed out, but then an International Red Cross man pitched up,' he said.
'I was initially suspicious of him, but then I warmed to him when he started taking measurements of the size of my room [to try to get Glover a larger room]. I warmed to him even more when he left me 200 cigarettes.'
Glover was freed on July 8 and flown home shortly afterwards.
'It took seven months before I could fly solo again,' he said. 'It was eventually discovered that I'd had a paranoic reaction to isolation and captivity. My problems were more mental than physical.'
Glover was awarded the Queen's Commendation for Valuable Service in the Air and three years later became a member of the Red Arrows aerobatics team, subsequently spending many years as a commercial pilot. But in a remarkable twist, his links with his capture have endured. Five years ago, while working for the Qatari royal family, he found himself in Buenos Aires for 12 days and decided to look up the man who shot him down more than 30 years earlier, the now retired Major General Sergio Fernandez.
'He had tracked me down about ten years after the war and we had swapped emails,' said Glover. 'But this time we went out for dinner, and it was only then that he told me that I had been in the sea after being shot down for 40 minutes, when I had always thought it was for about five minutes. We had a great evening. He speaks good English and he was, and is, a smashing chap.'
Reflecting on his role in the war nearly four decades ago, Glover, now 67, said: 'At the time, as a POW in 1982, I thought I had let the side down and lost one of our six planes [from his squadron]. But, nearly 40 years on, I have got over it.'
Gordon Mather, a 35-year-old SAS Troop Sergeant based in Hereford, had been learning Arabic as part of his undercover duties when he heard that war had broken out in the South Atlantic. 'Our Egyptian instructor turned on the television and we learnt that the Falkland Islands had been invaded,' he told me. 'Word soon came through that the Arabic course was cancelled and we should prepare to deploy.'
He would go on to be decorated with the Military Medal for prolonged gallantry during a daring mission lasting four weeks behind enemy lines – the longest such deployment of the whole Falklands conflict.
The Victoria Cross medal
In an exclusive interview, Mather, who led a four-man patrol in treacherous sub-zero conditions to gain valuable intelligence on Argentine positions, told me that the key to his team's success had been the 'thorough, extremely demanding' SAS selection process.
'Much of it is based on carrying heavy weights and navigating over difficult ground both by day and night,' he said. 'This is combined with very high standards of field craft, best use of ground and camouflage and concealment.'
Their preparations had been exhaustive. 'Everything that we would need to survive, communicate and perhaps fight with had to be carried,' he told me. 'We had the standard issue ration pack: one feeds one man for one day, but it weighs three and a half pounds, so 14 days' rations alone equals 49lb per man, just food. So we had to cut down on rations.
'We each carried AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifles and 200 rounds of ammunition, along with hand and smoke grenades. As standard procedure, the patrol commander always carries a white phosphorous grenade to destroy code books if required.'
To this day he is full of praise for the Sea King helicopter pilots who inserted them behind enemy lines on May 1, flying dangerously low. 'They were superb,' he said. 'Part of the difficulty, of course, was that we had no idea where the enemy might be. That was our mission. Where are they? How many are they? What weapons do they possess?'
Long before the mission, Mather and other patrol commanders were warned they were on their own if attacked. Under normal circumstances they could expect a Quick Reaction Force to come to their aid if they got into difficulty. However, these patrols were the first troops on to the Falklands, so there would be no back-up. 'That helped concentrate the mind a bit,' said Mather.
Communicating their information back to their superiors was far from easy. They were issued with high-frequency radios using hand-speed Morse Code. The messages were encrypted – a slow but secure system. I would radio information perhaps daily or every two days – we had to stay in touch to pass on the information we had obtained and to indicate that we were OK.
'But all the time we were worried about the direction-finding capability of our enemy. So two guys, one signaller and one other man, would move away from our base for about an hour, set up the antenna, send and receive, take down the antenna and then come back. The next time the other two would go out in a different direction. We hoped it would mean the enemy could never identify exactly where our base was situated.'
Their targets were viewed through binoculars, said Mather. 'The closest we got was about 400 metres. I never felt we were in immediate danger of being spotted.'
Mather said that, despite the challenging conditions, he never had to motivate his men because they were all tremendously fit, professional and resilient.
'Yes, of course, when you are on Day 21 or whatever it is, cold and soaking wet, you might look at each other and say, "I would rather be in our favourite pub in Hereford." But basically you just get on with it; heads never went down. Occasionally, I tuned the radio to the BBC World Service and found out what was happening. On May 21, they reported "British forces have landed on the Falkland Islands". We looked at each other and that raised a bit of smile. We thought, "We are not alone – the cavalry have come!" '
His squadron's patrols eventually resulted in the disabling of four enemy helicopters and the destruction of a substantial aviation fuel dump – a satisfying contribution to the effort.
At the end of their 28-day mission, they were picked up at an agreed rendezvous point and, exhausted and filthy, flown to a ship anchored off the islands.
'I told my guys in a whisper to unload their weapons,' he said. 'I was whispering because of course we had got so used to it over the past four weeks.'
Mather, now 74, has returned to the Falklands twice since, including in 2012 for the 30th anniversary of the war.

'On Remembrance Sunday, a very moving service was held in Stanley Cathedral,' he recalled. 'I asked one Falkland Islander what she thought about us veterans returning year after year.
'She replied, "While you are here this week, Gordon, we will take care of you. And when your children come to the islands, our children will take care of them.
' "When your grandchildren come, our grandchildren will take care of them, too. Because this is a debt that we can never repay." '

Use the 'b' and 'n' buttons to do everything! More instructions in-game.
Fun concept, the music and graphics were awesome. However it could've been a bit longer. Good job!
Awesome game! Also pretty funny.
Good humor, nicely done, the gameplay is a bit too basic though.
Very simple gameplay but the art is great and the concept and execution are very funny.
Very nice take on the theme! Graphics and audio are absolutely fantastic.
A fun spamfest cased in bearded awesome.
I had so much fun bearding! The final round was hard, mainly because my fingers started to get tired.
As an adult Asian male though, this game made me self-conscious.
Well made game,I hurt my fingers though trying to hit the keys so quickly so shortly after participating in a LD. But I suppose that's just like growing a beard in real life though, right?
Simple, but good music and funny art it makes a fun game.
Really fun game! Nice interpretation of the theme :) Loved the ending music as well.
Epic Beard Game!! very funny, love those taunts after each match!
I loved the art style in this! Really nice use of the theme, too.
Funny game :) i beat the turbo mode thanks to years listening to death metal... Nice original choices on visuals ans music, and nice match with both themes!
Awesome job on Beard Victory! Hilarious drawings and theme.
Funny use of the two themes! It's also quite fitting for the current beard growing craze these days!
I loved the Street fighter style you got going there, especially that referee voice :D Would have been cool to see some sort of combo system though, but that might have been kinda hard to fit into this game. Nice one!
After hilarious "Coffee Quest" I was looking forward to play your next game. "Beard Fighter" is funny and artistic, too, and I liked B/N button titles. A gameplay was pretty simple, though.
5 for Humor and Mood. Good work!
This is such an amazing idea. I don't like button mashing, but this whole scenario just had me grinning. I made it to the final boss on turbo, but kept losing by half a meter's margin. The graphics and soundscape are so perfect though.
Haha, very fun idea for a game! Awesome graphics, and well cared GUI. But I think I've got my finger broken ;D haha. Fantastic overall!
This was awesome and legitimately fun! loved the audio and music too.
"You must defeat beard long to stand a chance"
It's a very funny game, it's worth for the laughs. Also, very tight controls and the difficulty is well ajusted - you mash buttons, but not with insane speed that ruin your keyboard or your wrists.
The only thing I would change is the shake screen effect on the growth stages, it gets kinda annoying to see. Maybe it would be better a sound response.
Cool game! It was really funny to notice and compare the it with the old Street Fighter game feeling hahaha!
