Making your tile and grout look new again is really easy. Using tile and grout restoration products designed with the do-it-yourselfer in mind means achieving professional results is easy for almost anyone.
You might be surprised at how dirty the towel is. All that dirt on the towel would have been left on the surface of the tile. And the dirt in the water/tile cleaner residue would have discolored your grout. The best way to keep your tile clean is to dry the floor after the tile cleaning process. Remove any puddled water that accumulates in the grout joints or in the recesses of some tile designs. This ensures all of the dirt is removed and makes your tile cleaning effort much more effective.
But Aren't Cleaners Effective For Tile Cleaning?
Tile cleaners today do have agents in them that help lift dirt to the surface. The lifting agent (surfactant) works best when the tile is drenched with tile cleaner and water, and rinsed with clean water. With even the best tile cleaning products, it's a fact that any tile cleaning residue or mop water left on the tile and grout will still leave behind dirt.
Properly done, floor cleaning can maintain a tile floor in a like new condition (assuming the grout was protected with a grout sealer like our grout colorant) with regular mopping. Just remember to use the proper grout and tile cleaner and the proper tile cleaning techniques and you are sure to achieve excellent results.
Many people have their own idea of their personal dream kitchen, and for far too many, those ideas never actually come to fruition. A number of homeowners feel that they are held back by the high cost of remodeling and home improvement supplies. However, if you are finally ready to take the kitchen remodeling plunge and want to really start actualizing your dreams of an updated kitchen, there are ways to save money on these kinds of projects that may surprise how little it may actually cost to change the look and feel of your kitchen for the better.
First, decide how much of the work you can do yourself. Much of the high cost of home improvement projects for any room of the house comes from the fact that specialized professionals charge outrageous amounts for their expertise. If there is any aspect of the project that you can do yourself, eliminate the financial burden of having to hire someone else to do it. Today's tile floors are easier to restore than ever before, and this is one area where you can save yourself a lot of money. Another thing to think about is paint and wallpaper. Changing the walls in your kitchen is often something that you can do yourself in a weekend.
Second, shop for closeouts. Home improvement stores frequently eliminate outdated items from stock, and you can find fixtures and supplies that may only be a few years old for a fraction of the cost. Whenever some home improvement stores go out of business, things like sinks, tile, and even appliances can be found at huge discounts. Also, some of these stores sell items that may have slight cosmetic damage but are still fully functioning for as much as 50-75 percent off of the retail price in order to get rid of them in a hurry. If you don't mind having a small ding in your dishwasher or front loading washer, this is a great way to help you achieve your dreams without breaking the bank.
Third, shop for secondhand items when possible. Sites like Craigslist and Ebay can be a boon for someone who is redesigning or upgrading part of their home. Not only can you find building supplies and tools here, but you can also find dining room furniture and kitchen appliances that are often barely used for as much as one tenth of what you would expect to pay in a retail store. This is especially true of larger appliances. Many people find themselves moving on short notice and do not want to have to haul heavy, bulky items. I have seen many people that will nearly give away something that they may have purchased at full price only months before simply because they cannot take it with them.
The outdated kitchen that you are still cooking in might continue to offer up some old memories, but does it remain practical in these modern times? If you are still living in the kitchen of the 60s, more than likely your family has grown or your needs have changed. Remodeling your kitchen does not mean that you have to let go of any of the nostalgia or heartwarming memories of the past. Over the years, we celebrate many big life events in the kitchen, and memories are full of great family times. You may even remember your children growing up, baking their favorite birthday cake, or teaching them to bake cookies, but these memories do not go away simply because you decide to update your kitchen in order to make things more easily accessible or save time and energy.
There are also plenty of times when remodeling the kitchen is unavoidable. As our families grow, we run out of space. Outdated kitchen items no longer work or new appliances are desperately needed. In today's fast paced world, there is less than ever before to devote to the everyday chores of cooking and cleaning, and there are many ways that an updated kitchen can help accommodate your needs and make these kinds of everyday chores easier, saving you time and money. Baking snacks for your favorite team or your child's class no longer takes all day. Modern appliances such as microwaves and convection ovens have changed the way that we cook and prepare virtually everything, cooking entire meals in a fraction of the time and eliminating much of the preparation involved. Dishwashers allow us to spend more time with our families and less time cleaning up after ourselves. Now that we have more to do than ever before, every little added convenience helps out a great deal.
A kitchen remodeling project may be just what you need to get things back in order in your home and be able to save time without having to compromise things like a family meal together or the other things that you love. Modern technology has provided us with many gifts that allow us to save time and energy. Things like trash compactors mean waiting a few more days before having to take out the garbage. Built in recycling bins take the hassle out of sorting the garbage, and it is ready to carry out to the curb. Today's flooring options are easier to clean than ever before, and nearly anyone can do it. If you get to looking around, you will see that there are also a number of less expensive kitchen remodeling ideas that can help you put the energy back into your day and get more out of your time at home.
Ceramic tile flooring in a kitchen can be a durable and low maintenance surface if properly protected right from the start with a quality grout color sealant or grout stain sealer. These types of grout colorants protect new grout from stains by stain proofing the surface. This stain proofing protection goes well beyond the protection provided by clear grout sealers you might be familiar with. Grout color sealers can also restore old grout back to a uniform and stain free appearance. With the added ability to change grout colors, color sealing grout also saves the time, cost and hassle of removing or replacing tile.
A kitchen update can be accomplished successfully without letting go of the precious memories and "feeling of home" a kitchen gives you.

Tesla launches training programme for EV technicians
Central Piedmont Community CollegeEV technicianRio Hondo CollegeTeslaTesla StarttrainingUSA
Tesla has started a new education programme in order to train the next generation of electric car technicians. Those graduating through 'Tesla Start' can hope for a job at Tesla within 30 days after graduation but need to be willing to relocate.
Tesla has started its 12-week training programme at two colleges in the States, the Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the Rio Hondo College in Whitter, California.
The first cohort of 13 aspiring Tesla technicians is expected to graduate next week. Tesla Start marks a new way of training for Tesla that had previously trained workers in its service centres and on site. The new programme now qualifies technicians before they enter the company and Tesla says they help place graduates at service locations across North America within a month after they finish the programme. This also means the 3 month training is unpaid and that attendants need to be willing to relocate.
Colleges may also apply for Tesla Start to be offered as part of their curriculum.

ART COLLECTORS
At Arius we appreciate that art investments are closely tied to emotional values as much as financial incentives. Therefore we've developed ways to adapt our technology to help collectors ensure they can enjoy their artwork anywhere in the world while making sure it's safely stored and protected for generations to come.
With Arius Digital Master Files that capture surface data as fine as 1/10th a human hair, we're setting new standards for condition analysis by helping conservators detect even the earliest signs of degradation. In return, the best preservation plans can be prescribed to prevent decay and, potentially, deterioration in value.
Should artwork be too precious to go on display, or a collector be financially obliged to keep artwork in storage, our high-fidelity textured reproductions allow artworks to be admired anywhere in the world. Whether it's onboard a superyacht, in a boardroom or in multiple homes around the world, we offer an ideal compromise to keep your artwork safe and admire it.
Condition Analysis
Utilize ultra-high-fidelity scan data, which captures details as fine as 1/10th of a human hair, to detect even the earliest signs of degradation that may impact value, or use the data to plan a conservation project.
Preservation & Archiving
Arius Digital Master Files are essentially high-fidelity digital fingerprints, assisting the preservation of artworks for future generations, even in the face of unforeseen damage and natural degradation.
Textured Reproductions
Art collectors can now enjoy high-fidelity textured reproductions that capture the colour and geometry of every brushstroke while storing originals securely within a specialized art storage facility.
"It's the richest reprographic technology on the planet today."

W/ BT hedfoans, does source even matter?
Discussion in 'Portable Headphones, Earphones and In-Ear Monitors' started by Hanafuda, Nov 27, 2017.
Hey guys, Hanafuda here. I've been registered at head-fi a long time, but mostly just have stupid questions bi-annually.
Today's stupid question ... my understanding is that bluetooth cannot transmit an analog stream, so bluetooth headphones must be receiving unconverted digital data from the source, and have their own DAC? Amirite about that? If so, does it even matter what the source is? I mean, it could be a PC, any bt-capable cellphone you like, a high-end DAP like Onkyo DP-X1A ... wouldn't they all be sending the same digital stream via bluetooth to the headphones??
I know BT is not kosher for SQ, but I'm sure that's changing and besides we're talking portable here.
Ok, first correction...yes, the data is sent in digital form, but no, it is NOT unconverted. Audio data can only be sent over Bluetooth in specific formats (largely due to the restricted bandwidth). The default is SBC, then there is AptX, AptX LL, AptX HD, and also AAC (for Apple). The various AptX versions and AAC allow for better quality audio, but BOTH devices (i.e the phone and the headphones) must have the ability to actually use the higher quality format, otherwise it'll just default back to SBC. So in that regard, the source DOES matter.
This leads on to the next issue, which is that, because the original data must be converted into a BT-friendly version), if the player (or whatever transmitting device) applies any sort of DSP, then that would alter the final sound you get at the other end. An easy example of this is if you were to apply an EQ from the source device. That EQ is applied in the digital domain, which means that that data will get embedded into the BT stream too. And so, any other type of DSP will get transmitted along as well.

So got designs in other non Autodesk based civil design products?
Want to use InfraWorks for real time visualisation and easy production of realistic environments for your projects.
So this example will take Bentley Mx as a source of data, but the methods are universal to any product that can create surfaces and design strings.
There is always five ways to do things, but I think this method is the better way.
This technique basically takes the final design and merge it in with the existing ground as a combined surface.
Then we use boundaries to define surface textures.
The advantage to this method is that is creates a clean and accurate model. Also when you place objects it will find the surface and you can also drape linework to represent roadmarkings etc.
Other techniques include bringing surface triangles from the other product and using as a 3D model, but then you cannot drape objects and roadmarkings, you would have to do it in the other product. Also you would need to texture the model first.
Final method is to bring in the core geometry and then use InfraWorks360 Design roads to remodel the data. If the design is not detailed, then this method is fine, but if fully designed, then you don't want to try and remodel the whole project. Also design roads are not capable of every form of design at this point.
This next part is a little effort, you need to create closed boundaries from the polylines, so I draw a line to close gaps and then use 'mpedit' command to select them all, join and add a small distance of 1 and close.
Then just adjust the layer to suit the type of feature they represent.
There could be some time saving methods to generate these boundaries from the original civil design product that I may not be aware of.
When you use Civil 3D corridor models, these areas are generated automatically and of course is the added value to use Civil 3D as its a integrated solution.
In InfraWorks now, load in your Civil 3D dwg and check the _Combined Surface you made earlier.
Once you have applied those settings, you can notice that the surface highlights. You can now drag and drop materials onto these areas. But a little extra automation is always a good idea.
So as a previous post described, we can use the new Style Rules in 2015.3 to customise data based on their attributes.
Then you should see your model update and voila!
Want surfaces as solids to better represent your sub-surfaces for construction and collaboration visualisations for your BIM project?
Click the above image to download a Navisworks NWD of this example.
Then type the command UNION and select the triangles.
Repeat the steps for your second surface.
This in combination with the corridor solid tool, which is now integrated into 2014 release of Civil 3D, you have a unique data extraction for civil engineering.
A big thanks to Wes Newman (http://autodesk.typepad.com/transportation/) for this excellent workflow for coming up with the method to convert your surfaces to a 3D solid.
Not sure on how to design a particular design task, well hopefully we can help out with some workflows on using Civil 3D functionality to carry these out.


Programming Alert: Don't miss "Tucker Carlson Tonight" at a new time, 8:00pm ET, starting on Monday, followed at 9:00pm by "The Five."
Jesse Watters taped exclusive interviews with Secretary of Energy Rick Perry and President Trump's Twtter guru, Dan Scavino.
The must-see sit-downs will air on "Watters' World" this Saturday at 8:00 p.m. ET, with a re-airing Sunday at 8:00.
Watters asked Perry about making amends with Trump, as he had some pretty rough words for the billionaire businessman on the campaign trail.
Perry said the most important thing is that he and Trump share a vision for America.
"I have said some harsh things about the president," Perry acknowledged, adding with a smile: "He is a very forgiving man."
Watters asked Scavino about Trump's Twitter habits, and he revealed that the president typically types and sends his own tweets, and they are always his own words.
"With his own fingers and sends it," Scavino said. "He'll dictate to me when we're on the road or we're when traveling. But verbatim, they're his words. Everything you see on his Twitter account - @realdonaldtrump - is all him."
Check out the preview clips above, and see the full interviews on "Watters' World" on Saturday at 8:00 p.m. ET. Plus, be sure to catch Jesse as one of the new co-hosts of "The Five" in the program's new 9:00 p.m. ET timeslot starting Monday, April 24.

Editor's note: Clay Thompson is out until Sunday, so we rummaged through the archives for a column that resonated with many readers. This column, edited for length, was published on Nov. 21, 2005.
My neighbor claims that several years ago, a vandal was shooting at a saguaro and it fell over and crushed him. Did this really happen, or is he pulling a new Arizonan's leg?
It happened in 1982 in the desert near Lake Pleasant. Two young men, David Grundman and James Suchochi, were wandering around the desert with guns and took it in their heads to start shooting at saguaros.
Grundman first blasted at a 10-foot saguaro with a shotgun so many times that it toppled. He supposedly said, "The first one was easy."
He then took aim at a 27-foot saguaro and blasted it twice from about 10 feet away. The second shot broke off a large, heavy, spiny arm of the cactus, which fell on Grundman, crushing him to death.
So, the killer cactus story is not an urban legend. However, the jet-car-in-the-cliff story is.
The story is that sometime in the early 1960s (or 1970s) a young man whose father dealt in military surplus came into possession of two jet-assisted take-off units, which are kind of like rockets that help really big, heavy planes take off.
This guy bolted these things to a Chevrolet Impala and took it out to a lonely stretch of pavement in the desert.
Supposedly, days later, Arizona Highway Patrol officers found the wreckage impaled in a cliff side. Investigators estimated the rocket car was going 300 mph when the driver lost control and hit the cliff.
Of course, there isn't a shred of truth to this, but it's still a pretty good story, don't you think?

China's DJI labeled "Huawei on Wings"; US FCC commissioner calls for ban [details]
A member of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Tuesday called for putting China's dronemaker, DJI, on blacklist.

The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is continuing its crackdown on Chinese companies on the grounds of espionage and has now picked DJI, the world's largest dronemaker, under the scanner. FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr has warned that the company is an "airborne version of Huawei", and called for it to be placed on a blacklist.
In a news release on Tuesday, FCC described DJI as a potential "Huawei on Wings." The reference Carr made in his remarks was to when Huawei was blacklisted in the US in 2019 over concerns of espionage. FCC Commissioner suggested that DJI's products could be used in similar ways to aid Chinese government espionage efforts.
"DJI drones and the surveillance technology on board these systems are collecting vast amounts of sensitive data. Everything from high-resolution images of critical infrastructure to facial recognition technology and remote sensors that can measure an individual's body temperature and heart rate," Carr said.

"DJI's software applications collect large quantities of personal information from the operator's smartphone that could be exploited by Beijing. One former Pentagon official stated that 'we know that a lot of the information is sent back to China from' DJI drones," Carr added.
Carr suggested that DJI should be added to FCC's "Covered List", which means the companies are deemed to pose risk to the national security of the United States and its citizens. Once added to the list, products from those companies are prohibited from being purchased with U.S. Universal Service Fund money.
"The evidence against DJI has been mounting for years, and various components of the U.S. government have taken a range of independent actions—including grounding fleets of DJI drones based on security concerns. The FCC should take the necessary steps to consider adding DJI to our Covered List. We do not need an airborne version of Huawei," Carr noted.
We just make drones: DJI
The backlash against DJI prompted a response from the dronemaker. In a detailed blog post, DJI reacted to the criticism it has received. The company said that it has a team of 30 devoted entirely to the privacy and data security features of its products.
"DJI designs and builds our hardware and software so you never have to share your data – not with us, and not with anyone else. We're not a data company; we just make drones," the company said in a statement.
DJI further added that it doesn't collect any location data, mobile data or drone GPS log data and users can choose not to sync their flight logs, photos, or videos with DJI services.
FCC's blacklist
The US FCC had put five Chinese companies on the Covered List for posing a threat to national security under a 2019 law, which is aimed at protecting US communications networks. The companies were Huawei, ZTE Corp, Hytera Communications, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co and Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co.
DJI was already added on US government's economic blacklist in December by the Commerce Department. In January 2020, the US Interior Department halted purchases of Chinese-made drones and grounded its fleet of about 800 Chinese drones.

Peter and the Starcatcher - Deane Prouty
Deane Prouty's setup for the Broadway production of Peter and the Starcatcher at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre.
Deane's write-up below photos.
"The setup at Peter and the Starcatcher is a bit different then most. There are only a few 'musical' numbers in the show. In fact it is really a play with music and 95% of what I am doing is foley work - sound effects timed with action on the stage. I am located in the front stage left box seat and have a clear view of the stage. When we started the show in 2011 at New York Theater Workshop in the East Village, I was literally suspended up over the audience on a platform hanging from the ceiling by chains. Although the box seat is a bit cramped, it doesn't sway when I play!
Some of the sound effects are carry-overs from earlier workshops in La Jolla and Williamstown Theater Festival. But the majority are sounds we came up with through the process of trial and error. Music Director Marco Paguia had a great bit of input as did the Composer Wayne Barker. The Directors Roger Rees (Nicholas Nickelby) and Alex Timbers (Bloody, Bloody, Andrew Jackson) told me that when a door closed on stage, they did not want a foley door sound, but wanted something that represented a door slamming. So what we use is a closed palm thud on a large Djembe and a low LP cowbell played together. It leaves a bit more up to the audiences imagination, but the reality is that when you are in the audience and see the action onstage and hear that sound, you know a door closed. We also each (Marco Paguia) have a de-tuned violin on which we play squeaky sounds for the rusty hinges on the doors.
Some of the more interesting sound effects are throwing chains into a metal pail with an upturned splash cymbal in the bottom - this is for the sound of breaking glass when a pail is thrown through a make believe mirror. There is a sword fight between Black Stache and Captain Slank onstage, that is acted out with a wooden handled toilet plunger and a driftwood club. Meanwhile, I am in the gallery with a long strip of steel and a shorter one with a handle attached, that, as the actors hit the clubs together, I am making ching-ching, ssshinnngggg sounds with my metal 'sword', all timed to the moment their 'wooden swords' make contact.
I gave Marco an instrument to play for the pirate ship creaking noise, it is a stick not unlike a shortened yardstick with a medium sized sawtooth pattern cut along one edge. When the Pirate ship lists from one side to the other, Marco scrapes the sawtooth slowly--then quicker--then slowly again, along the edge of the piano case. Meanwhile I am playing a gliss, or thumb-roll across the head of a 26" bass drum with calf heads--slow to fast to slow, timed with Marco's sound.
There is a scene in which the character 'Grempkin', whips the bareback Peter in the hold of the ship with a riding crop. A whip sound has two parts, the whoosh and the crack. I created these sounds with a 3' buggy whip cutting through the air for the whoosh, and a riding crop with a large leather fob on the end which I crack against a special pad I made which sounds eerily similar to the sound of smacking flesh, all timed to the quick action onstage.
Other instruments in the setup include a large kalimba (played on the frame with a superball mallet), a car transmission bell, a Cuica (for jungle gorilla noises), a malletKat, a 12" diameter metal cog ratchet, multiple types of cymbals, a thunder drum with a 4' long spring attached to the head of a 13" tom tom, and a huge 8 foot thunder sheet."

Joe Walsh offers up BHPO-area home with recording studio for $5.3 million
By Neal J. LeiteregStaff Writer
May 3, 2019 7 AM PT
Joe Walsh, the legendary singer-songwriter-guitarist, has listed his stylish nest in the Beverly Hills Post Office area for $5.3 million.
Tucked behind walls and gates, the single-story house dates to 1966 but has been extensively renovated and reimagined with an emphasis on designer details. Think subdued hues, lacy wall treatments and eye-catching chandeliers.
Surrounded by lush landscaping and palms, the 3,820-square-foot house is decked out with a whole-house stereo system, floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, a wall fireplace in the living room, a milky white chef's kitchen and a media room/den. A 600-foot recording studio was added by Walsh during his stay. To borrow from his 1978 hit, life's been good.
The master suite — one of four bedrooms and seven bathrooms — takes in garden views from the large soaking tub.
Outside, there's a covered patio with a fireplace, a swimming pool and a spa. A motor court and two-car garage sit off the gated entry.
Walsh, 71, was an established musician with the James Gang and Barnstorm bands when he joined the Eagles in 1975. His hits with the Eagles include "Hotel California," "Life in the Fast Lane" and "Heartache Tonight." He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the group in 1998.
As a solo artist, the rocker has released more than a dozen albums, including the hit records "The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get" and "But Seriously, Folks …"
Walsh, who owns other property in Southern California, bought the house six years ago for $3.95 million, records show.
Tina Stern of Wish Sotheby's International Realty holds the listing.

Unemployment is at an 18-year low, but the benefits aren't going to Trump voters.
July unemployment numbers clocked in at just 3.9 percent last Friday, much to the president's delight. President Donald Trump tweeted six times about the numbers, and told Pennsylvania rally-goers that "Our economy is soaring. Our jobs are booming."
But on the midterm campaign trail, Republicans have been mum on the topic.
A Wesleyan Media Project analysis of national campaign advertising data showed that Republican candidates are focusing on their support for Trump and hardline stance on immigration over economic growth.
The lack of talking up the economy might be because Republicans aren't feeling the gains Trump regularly brags about. While the U.S. is on pace to add 2.6 million jobs this year, the majority of new employment is centered in Democratic-leaning counties, leaving Trump voters out of the job boom. On average, about 58.5 percent of job gains for the year ending in May went to counties that voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
An analysis by the Associated Press found that 35.4 percent of counties that backed Trump actually lost jobs this year, compared to just 19.2 percent of counties that swung for Clinton.
Urban centers like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and Houston continue to gain jobs, even as rural and former industrial areas that were promised rejuvenation by Trump on the campaign trail continue to lose employment opportunities. Nearly two years into Trump's presidency, the job growth landscape barely differs from where it was under President Barack Obama's tenure—when 58.7 percent of gains were in left-leaning counties.
Of the jobs added in July, the majority were business and professional service jobs and health care and social assistance jobs. There was also a smaller increase in manufacturing and food service jobs.
Still, polling shows that voters may not care about jobs or the economy. A June survey by Pew found that voters thought immigration, race, political gridlock, and President Donald Trump were the nation's most pressing issues—not the economy.

The immediate precursor to Con†Stellation was ZerCon, a two-day convention in November 1981. While planning and executing ZerCon, we came up with the name "Con†Stellation" (or "Con*Stellation") for a planned ongoing series of three-day-weekend conventions.
The first Con†Stellation was held July 16–18, 1982, under the full name Con†Stellation I: The Pleiades. The time of year varied over the first few conventions, though at least one has been held each year since. After the first few years, the convention made the shift from a spring/summer convention to a fall convention. Each Con†Stellation has been subtitled with an astronomical constellation—usually one of the 88 official modern constellations, though the first one was named after an asterism in Taurus. The convention often uses the constellation as a theme in its advertising and for events at the convention.
Con†Stellation has been held at a number of Huntsville-area hotels over its history. Other than Con†Stellation II.V (2.5), each has been a 3-day (Friday to Sunday) event.
Going forward, the plan is to have each year's Con†Stellation in October. Stay tuned to this website for more info on 2013 and forward.
The sponsor of Con†Stellation is the North Alabama Science Fiction Association, aka NASFA—a general-interest science fiction & fantasy club headquartered in Huntsville Alabama. Besides planning and running Con†Stellation, NASFA has monthly meetings that bring together sf/f/h/etc. fans from Huntsville, Madison, and other surrounding areas. Each meeting features both a noisy lively business meeting (which often digresses forays into a variety of sf/f/h/etc. topics) and a program. That latter may feature a regional author, cover a science topic of interest, display some off-the-beaten-track videos, or address almost any aspect of science fiction, fantasy, and related genres. There's also a social aspect to the club, with an "After-The-Meeting Meeting" each month and occasional other events. To find out how to join this year-round club, or to get in touch with NASFA about any other matter, please visit the NASFA website.
Though not sponsored by NASFA, it's very well worth noting that the Golden Anniversary DeepSouthCon—DSC 50—will be in Huntsville.

Marjery Bryce (1891 - 1973) was a British suffragette and actor,  rode dressed as Joan of Arc in WSPU parades in support of votes for women.

Family
Born Margaret Vincentia on 18 June 1891 in Marylebone, London, to politician father John Annan Bryce and mother Violet L'Estrange.

Bryce was variously known as Marjery, Marjorie or Marjery Vincentia and Marjorie Annan.

She had two brothers and a sister three years younger, Rosalind L'Estrange, known as 'Tiny'.  One brother, Nigel, died at the age of nineteen. Her other brother Roland, was later to be one of the commissioners in 1922 to lay out the borders for Yugoslavia.

Her father was Liberal MP for the Inverness Burghs, voted against the Conciliation Bill which was to give some women the franchise and wrote letters to the press against women's suffrage. Her mother, Violet held the opposite view and was a cousin to Countess Markievicz and Eva Gore-Booth, both activists for women's rights.

Bryce remained single.

Role in Women's Suffrage movement

Bryce joined the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) parade at the age of nineteen  was portraying 'the perfect woman'  riding on a white horse dressed in full armour with a banner in the style of Joan of Arc, leading the forty thousand strong Women's Procession on 17 June 1911, before  George V's Coronation. Her sister  Rosalind "Tiny" Bryce was dressed as a page and led the horse's bridle. This demonstration was to encourage support of the proposed Conciliation Bill, which would have given the franchise to women who owned property.

The image of Saint Joan was seen to represent  'the militant women's ideal....in every act of hers they recognize the same spirit as that which strengthens them to risk their liberty and endure torture for the sake of freedom'.  And the leaders of WSPU, Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst, Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence and Mabel Tuke led the parade, with groups of women's trades and professions, or, like Bryce, dressed as famous women from the past. Christabel in particular felt the image of Joan of Arc included the willingness to undertake physical hardship  and emphasised the martial (masculine) qualities as an image of fighting for a cause of right. This was summed up a ' the loveliness of simplicity, purity, courage and militancy' which Bryce was acting in this parade and was an image used by WSPU as a symbol.

The Museum of London has the original copyright image of Bryce as Joan of Arc cited in many of the references above.

In other suffragette parades, Joan of Arc was also portrayed by Elsie Howey.

Acting career

Bryce played the London stage  for example, in the role of Nina Zarechnaya in The Seagull (1919), appeared in The Cloud that Lifted (1932) after performing in Other Gates in the Grafton Theatre, London in 1931,  and was the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland (in 1938 and again in1947).

In 1927 she took the role of 'The Spirit of Henley' in the Henley Historical Pageant.

Her entry in 1939 'The Spotlight'  theatrical casting directory describes her as a straight, comedy or character performer.

Bryce was later known for her roles in Agatha Christie's Ten Little Niggers (1949),  appearing in BBC Sunday-Night Theatre (1950s) and appeared in a BBC series The Bell Family (1951 ).

Death
Bryce died on 8 June 1973, in Fulham London.

So like I said in my last email, I've now begun my descent! I hope you enjoy the gifts that I sent! They were just some things that I've picked up here and there on my travels. Yes I love Sister Nield. She really is a professional golf coach, and she goes to my ward here in Highlands. The first time I met her was actually when my entire zone was invited to go golfing for free at her golf course. When we met I told her that I was from Alpine and she was like "I know exactly where that is! I'm there all of the time!" Yeah she's really sweet.
As for my week it was pretty regular. We didn't get a lot of teaching appointments in, but we were able to go see some more members and listen to the rest of conference. I didn't fall asleep this time! Aren't ya proud of me? Every single session I was awake and alert. What was your favorite talk? Mine was the one given by President Uchtdorf about "finding your own Amulek". His examples really opened my mind and made me look at those scriptures at another point of view. When I came here my previous companion liked to do a lot of things by himself, he didn't really want any help. When I received my new companion, we lifted each others burdens as well as getting better at delegation. We all need our own Amuleks in life, the come in many different shapes and forms and they're all there to help.
Wherefore, hearken, O my people, which are of the house of Israel, and give ear unto my words; for because the words of Isaiah are not plain unto you, nevertheless they are plain unto all those that are filled with the spirit of prophecy. But I give unto you a prophecy, according to the spirit which is in me; wherefore I shall prophesy according to the plainness which hath been with me from the time that I came out from Jerusalem with my father; for behold, my soul delighteth in plainnessunto my people, that they may learn.
Just like Nephi, my soul also delights in plainness. I don't need to indulge myself in to things that I do not understand, or things that don't even matter.
The Prophet Jacob warned us against what's called "Looking beyond the mark". If we're not careful we'll fall in to that same trap.
But behold, the Jews were a stiffnecked people; and they despised the words of plainness, and killed the prophets, and sought for things that they could not understand. Wherefore, because of their blindness, which blindness came by looking beyond the mark, they must needs fall; for God hath taken away his plainness from them, and delivered unto them many things which they cannot understand, because they desired it. And because they desired it God hath done it, that they may stumble.
Sorry I just shared a lot of scriptures this time, nothing that interesting really happened. I'm glad every one is okay and I hope you enjoy the rest of the week!
These are what you call Jacaranda tree's. They only bloom during this time of the year, that purple really is pretty.

The New Bolsover 'Model Village' of the Bolsover Colliery Company was served by a tramway which ran from the colliery yard (SK 461709) It starts near to the workshops and brick yard kiln and drying sheds area and then southwards through the colliery yard and then under the road, Bolsover to Chesterfield Road (SK 461708) running parallel but a short distance away from the Doe Lea Branch of the Midland Railway. It passes what may be an earlier clay pit with sidings at (SK 362706) This may be where the night soil was offloaded. At (SK 462705) it turns to the south east and runs for a short distance and over the Midland Branch line via a bridge, (See photographs) where it branches off to a clay pit at (SK 463705). Clay from here and other areas in the locality were used by the company to produce bricks for use at the colliery and underground and possibly for the village repairs.
The tramway then turned and ran southwards for a short distance to the north top row of the village and the stores where it split at (SK 464704) one line running southwards towards the school and the other eastwards between the top and bottom north rows running up the middle of the road, turning south at the top of the road and then west along the road, still following the centre of it, turning north at the bottom and running towards the school (SK 464703) and then past it to the school side of the road. (Not in the middle). It continued past the school to the split at (SK 464704).
The tramway was a small utility railway drawn by a horse or pony, it could be used on site at the colliery for transport . It's proximity to the brick kiln would have enabled it to be used for the movement of bricks for the colliery and possibly to build New Bolsover village. Passing as it did the clay pits, raw material could be moved to the colliery for use in the brickmaking process.
There were two main uses of the tramway for the village people, primarily to remove the 'night soil' from the earth middens at each dwelling as the houses did not have sewers so human waste was removed regularly from them. There would have been a midden for each property on the yards. Secondly miners heating coal was delivered to the properties during the winter months, coal was not provided free all the time only during the cooler months of the winter.
It may also have had another use to deliver provisions to the Cooperative or the Colliery Club from the railway, but it appears not to be directly connected to the station so this is only a guess.
The photograph of the tub and pony was taken around (SK 464704) area looking north east between the two rows. Possibly from the bowling green area.
The photograph looking towards the station was taken at around (SK 462705) looking north towards the colliery and station.
The photograph of the school was taken at about (SK 464703) looking north.

[Volunteering as an orderly] taught me much about the operations of a hospital, the roles of different personnel, how to be humble, physician-nurse relationships, empathy for patients, the dedication of healthcare professionals, and how much 'little things' mean to employees.
According to the American Hospital Association, some 6,000 hospital CEOs collectively oversee almost a million beds, more than 36 million patients, and over a trillion dollars in expenses. While those CEOs have their days shaped by the scope and scale of the hospitals they work for, each of them is responsible for maintaining the overall health and effectiveness of those facilities.
As guardians of some of the world's key pieces of infrastructure, hospital CEOs have a tremendous impact on the lives of their constituents. Being the chief executive officer of a hospital means being part business leader and part politician, requiring a blend of diplomacy, advocacy, business management, and financial sense. And the stakes of this role aren't just profit and loss, but life and death.
Hospital CEOs have a wide range of responsibilities; their work environment and day-to-day lives can vary immensely. In addition to requiring competence as both a business leader and a healthcare executive, hospital CEOs are increasingly being called upon to transition and modernize. Data analytics and the integration of AI are providing new, complex ways to deliver top-quality care. And the industry-wide transition from a fee-for-service model to a value-based service model—one focusing on the quality of services instead of the number of services provided—means hospitals have to rethink their financial operations from the ground up.
According to Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Texas and current CEO of St. Luke's Health System in Idaho, the biggest challenge facing today's hospital CEOs is this transition from fee-for-service to value-based payments and the declining revenues that go along with it. He sees the continued decline in hospital revenues as a function of the outsourcing of higher-revenue services to lower-revenue outpatient settings; the increase in competition between ambulatory providers; and the shift from high-revenue insurance plans to lower-revenue Medicare plans as the population ages. Today's hospital CEOs must navigate the impacts of this continued decline in revenue while handling the pressure of growing wages, supply costs, and pharmaceutical costs.
To run a hospital is to run an intensely complex business, but one where the bottom line is not solely profit, and one where the stakes have a human face. Read on to get a look at a day in the life of a hospital CEO.
Hospital CEOs are frequently on the move, with their schedules often planned down to the minute. Community outreach, investment research, board meetings, and public speaking engagements are all part of the CEO's jurisdiction and stretch outside the walls of the hospital. And their work reaches into the digital space, too; Dr. Pate, for example, is active on Twitter, where he shares information about healthcare transformation.
Back in the hospital, CEOs interact with patients, providers, staff, and family members. But their core clinical team is a small cadre of fellow executives, which includes a chief operating officer (COO), a chief financial officer (CFO), a chief nursing officer (CNO), and a chief medical officer (CMO). This team enacts strategy proposals determined by the CEO, and reports back up on their impact or need for adjustment. Drawing from this team, a hospital CEO reports to and serves a governing board of directors, which ensures the CEO is managing the hospital effectively.
For students aspiring to become a hospital CEO, Dr. Pate prescribes a stint volunteering at a local hospital.
A hospital CEO can be seen as the mayor of a major medical facility, responsible for the thousands of constituents that they serve—patients, providers, staff, and community members—in addition to safeguarding the functionality of the facility's financial and logistical apparatus. No two days are going to be precisely alike, but here are four broad themes in a hospital CEO's responsibilities.
A key responsibility of a hospital CEO is the development and maintenance of hospital policy. A sound strategic policy is critical in the areas of patient safety and compliance. By interfacing with the executive team and getting input from the community, a hospital CEO must determine a strategic and rational direction that strikes a balance between serving the patient, maintaining compliance with federal regulations and privacy concerns, and ensuring the overall financial health and stability of the hospital. From the minute and technical to the grand and overarching, setting policies and enforcing them is a top priority for a hospital CEO.
One of the most critical responsibilities of a hospital CEO is maintaining the financial health of the hospital. Sound financial planning can have life-saving impacts on patient safety and care quality.
A hospital CEO must have a solid relationship with the CFO and a deep understanding of business management practices in order to keep a hospital in the black and operating at peak efficiency. A complex and clever distribution of resources is required to not only meet the needs of providers and patients, but also to fund critical investments into medical research. And the transition from fee-for-service to value-based payments means that hospital CEOs must be capable of completely rethinking a business while also holding on to the solid fundamentals that keep a hospital functioning and fulfilling its mission.
A hospital CEO is the ultimate authority in staffing decisions at a hospital. They play a key part in the recruitment of senior management and executives and also foster an environment where top talent wants to come and work.
A close coordination with department heads is critical in determining the precise staffing needs of each particular silo within the hospital, and then filling those roles with the most qualified people possible. Above all, a hospital CEO must strike a balance between the organization's macro-level staffing needs and the individual staff's micro-level needs.
A hospital CEO is the hospital's ambassador to the outside world and between departments. They serve as a critical link between the hospital's executive team and its board of directors, balancing one's technical knowledge against the other's objective governance. They also connect a hospital's services to the broader community by promoting a culture of health and transparent accessibility.
They advocate for the hospital and its constituents in the media as well as at the local, state, and federal levels. They draw in outside partnerships with research, funding, and service implications. And, within the hospital, they can build consensus between departments, brokering internal policy adjustments that meet the needs of each concerned party and smooth the interactions between them.
Hospitals are always open, and, similarly, hospital CEOs have to be either working or on call at all times. And while the job demands expert-level skills and knowledge in the areas of communication, finance, and management, there's a required level of near-fanatical dedication that a hospital CEO needs to be able to perform their daily tasks without burning out.
A bachelor's degree is required, but the area of focus isn't particularly important. Many hospital CEOs majored in finance or business as an undergraduate, but others have varied backgrounds that include bachelor's degrees in English or a medical field.
Dr. Pate, for example, got his bachelor's in biochemistry while also playing in Rice University's Marching Owl Band. The key takeaway from undergraduate programs for future hospital CEOs is a breadth of knowledge, an ability to communicate clearly and effectively, and a network of motivated peers and mentors with whom they can consult and exchange ideas.
Graduate-level education is where the real work begins. Through an MHA, MPH, or MBA with a healthcare focus, future hospital CEOs can get a first-class education in the inner workings of healthcare and business. It's here that they develop the keen business fundamentals, financial understanding, and communication skills necessary to run a large and dynamic organization such as a hospital.
Furthermore, graduate-level education provides the opportunity for future hospital CEOs to get familiar with big data analytics and the emerging role it's playing in hospital leadership, and also gives students a broad view of the trends (e.g., transition from fee-for-service to value-based payments) that are changing the industry's landscape. The network one builds in a master's program will be critical in securing mentorships and job opportunities that lead them up the ladder.
Dr. Pate, for example, got an MD in internal medicine and a JD in health law, practicing as a general internist and then an adjunct professor of law before becoming a hospital CEO. (He was also a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives, which you can read more about below).
While there are exceptions, over a decade of leadership experience is seen as the minimum requirement for a hospital CEO. This is in part due to the lessons one learns and skills one develops through real-world experience, but also in part due to the wide network one needs to be considered in the conversation for a CEO hiring. Getting hired as a CEO requires not only a sterling resume and educational background, but also a clever navigation of key relationships and a careful blend of advocacy and diplomacy.
Each hospital has its own set of required skills and knowledge, unique unto itself. For Dr. Pate, there was a notable shift when he went from the CEO of a single hospital to the CEO of a health system that included several hospitals.
One is that I love the people I work with and enjoy solving problems with them and knowing what is going on in their lives. The other is the opportunities that I have to get out and talk to employees at our hospitals and clinics. We have amazing people doing amazing things and it always takes me back, no matter how difficult and consuming some of the challenges I may be dealing with, to the fact that we are making a big difference in people's lives and helping them through significant life events.
Hospital CEOs do not need a specific certification or licensure in order to practice. But doing so can act as a mark of distinction on one's record, and demonstrate both expertise and an ongoing commitment to the profession. Furthermore, joining a professional society can help build the critical network one needs to both become a hospital CEO and lead effectively from that position.
The Board of Governors Examination consists of 230 questions, of which 200 are scored. Source material for the test includes healthcare journals, periodicals, and textbooks. A reference manual for the exam is provided by the ACHE, and a 12-week online tutorial is offered for $495. The ACHE website also includes study tips from fellows who have passed the exam. The ACHE recommends between three and six months of study time before taking the exam, dependent upon the applicant's experience and education level.
Upon certification as a FACHE, one will need to recertify every three years. As part of maintaining their status, fellows must complete 36 hours of continuing education, 12 of which must be in-person through the ACHE. Alternatively, one may choose to retake the Board of Governors Examination. As part of the three-year recertification, fellows must show involvement in at least two civic or community activities and two healthcare-related activities.

Anonymous, in Review of Lamb, Album Verses; Edinburgh Literary Journal (10 July 1830) 25.
Charles Lamb has been overrated in many ways. He is a clever, but not a distinguished writer. He is far too full of conceits, and affectations, and quaint childishnesses. The papers which he wrote under the signature of "Elia," and which have been puffed by some of his literary friends much beyond their real merit, are continually disfigured with these faults. The style was somewhat new, and took at first, but, like other novelties which are not based upon good sense and sound canons of criticism, its popularity soon passed away; and Lamb's prose works are already nearly forgotten. As a poet, he was never greatly celebrated; and here, too, the sort of antique Cockneyism of his diction militates much against the natural warmth of his feelings and liveliness of his imagination. We have no doubt that Charles Lamb is an amiable man, and he is also something of a humourist, and he is, moreover, on many occasions, a shrewd ingenious thinker; but he ought to know that quaintness and simplicity, bordering on puerility, do not constitute either wit or poetry.
