High Wycombe, October 2013 – Instron is pleased to confirm their attendance at the Advanced Engineering Show on the 12th and 13th November in Birmingham. Containing dedicated composites, aerospace, and automotive focused halls, the exhibition provides the ideal platform for Instron to showcase their expertise in the area of advanced materials testing systems and associated Professional Services dedicated to the growing composites market.
Visitors at the Instron booth(D91 of the Aero Engineering Hall) will be able to view an Instron 5969 dual column table top universal testing system equipped with a non-contacting video extensometer (AVE), which leverages the capabilities of the newly developed DIC Replay Software package. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is an optical technique comparing images of a stressed specimen's surface to generate full field strain and displacement maps.
A second highlight will be an ElectroPuls™ E1000 test instrument, a state-of-the-art electro-dynamic system for fatigue and static testing of materials and components, equipped with Specimen Self-Heating Control (SSHC) to optimise fatigue test duration. This innovative software feature enables tests to be run at maximum frequency without exceeding a pre-defined temperature limit. Instron will also be showcasing the advantages of the new Automatic Contacting Extensometer AutoX750 in terms of precision and ease of handling.
A combination of hardware and software, DIC is designed to optically detect strain and displacement within a defined specimen or component surface area, whilst Instron's AVE supplies the image and calibration data. The associated, independently running DIC Replay-Software provides visualization on a computer screen and also saves the data at an adjustable rate of up to 50 Hz in the form of individual images for post processing analysis. Compared to traditional strain measurement, this technology provides numerous benefits including the documentation of discontinuous strain, localised necking, and more. DIC also enables the visualization of the side profile of flat bending or compression specimens and the detection of strains and displacements in cases where conventional extensometers are impractical.
SSHC is a new add-on to the versatile Instron® WaveMatrix™ Dynamic Testing Software package used for fatigue testing of polymers, composites, and other materials. By automatically adjusting the test frequency, it maintains specimen temperature within a tight band and can save time, cost, and energy in the test lab. To achieve this, the add-on uses the difference between the specimen's continuously recorded temperature and a pre-specified temperature target to maximize the testing frequency in a closed loop. Lower loadings result in less heating and very large numbers of cycles-to-failure, so the system can run at a significantly higher frequency, which greatly reduces the test duration. By contrast, at high loading, frequency is reduced, ensuring consistent specimen temperature is maintained even in the latter stages of the test, during which self-heating effects increase dramatically resulting in run-away specimen temperature with fixed frequency tests.
Instron's AutoX750 supports faster, more reliable and more precise materials testing. Its high accuracy of +/-1 µm, along with a maximum travel of 750 mm and multiple knife edge options make it an ideal extensometer for tensile, flexure, and compression testing of various materials including highly-rigid composites, metals, and plastics. With features including automatic gauge length positioning and automatic attachment to the test specimen with adjustable contact force, the AutoX750 can enhance the productivity of testing laboratories. By removing tedious and time-consuming manual steps, lab operators can enjoy a simplified testing routine while improving throughput. Reducing inconsistencies in how a traditional clip-on extensometer is attached greatly improves the repeatability and reproducibility of critical test results.
Instron Professional Services will be available at the event to discuss the requirements needed to succeed with Nadcap approval. Working directly with Nadcap and ASTM to understand the requirements for alignment, Instron can provide the professional services that help a business to meet those requirements and remove the complexity. The Instron Nadcap service package covers alignment assessment of the load string in a testing frame, and is carried out on-site by factory-trained and qualified engineers who can verify Instron material testing systems to the appropriate Nadcap standard.

I made a horseshoe some time ago because I wanted to break the quilling picture / greeting card pattern. At first, I didn't know if I would find some use for it, but we recently got a new couch for our living room. The new couch is green, it matches very well with the horseshoe, so the horseshoe now proudly hangs on a wall in our living room.
The length of the horseshoe is approximately 8″ (19cm), and its width is 5 3/4″ (14.5cm). I made the quilled flowers from 120g/sm paper hand-cut into 5/64″ (2mm) paper strips. The horseshoe is made from 350g/sm cardboard.
This is lovely. Thank you for dropping by my blog and leaving such encouraging comments/ I discovered you blog only recently. Am becoming a follower.

Steam Deck: the best video games of 2022 for gaming on the go
Despite the arrival on the market of an increasing number of handheld devices for mobile gaming in its most varied forms, including cloud gaming, local playback and emulation, the Steam Deck has managed to obtain its large share of users and continues to catalyze the interest of players from all over the world not so much thanks to its performance, but more for its completeness and ease of use.
At launch, the console of Gabe Newell and associates boasted an almost infinite library thanks to the compatibility substrate made possible by Arch Linux and the SteamOS customization, further refined and finally ready to return an immediate and intuitive "console-like" interface, in addition to the support of Valve and its constant commitment to verifying the compatibility of outgoing titles and the catalog already available, identifying the "perfect" games for Steam Deck with a green check: but which ones were the most significant of 2022?
Elder Ring
Miyazaki's latest effort under the aegis of George RR Martin needs no introduction. The real surprise, if anything, is finding – and being included – Elden Ring in a ranking of the best titles to play on the go.
Absolute star performer of 2022 in a broad sense, From Software's masterpiece defends itself in an extraordinary way even against Valve's jewel, thanks to a specific optimization that allows you to fix frame pacing problems guaranteeing 30 FPS at low detail and at 720p, a result superimposable to that offered by old-gen consoles (PS4), except for the resolution. Surprisingly enjoyable, it will not fail to show frame drops here and there, without however compromising the overall experience for those who want to beat her even on public transport.
Among the surprises of the last twelve months and not only for mobile gaming, there is the transversal jewel born from the mind of Ben Esposito and the masterful commitment of the guys from Annapurna Interactive. We talked about it in our review of Neon White, but it is a crazy, irreverent and extraordinarily dynamic game, focused on constantly challenging the user with a unique gameplay between platform and FPS, perfect both from the couch and on the go.
Its skeleton is optimized enough to be played locally even on Steam Deck, where it finds perhaps one of its best applications thanks to the level structure and its easily adaptable nature even for healthy occasional use trying to improve times and scores. If you haven't already done so, recover this title of absolute value, one of the pearls of 2022 that has just passed.
Fresh winner of the title of Indie of the year at the TGA, Stray places the double for Annapurna among the most interesting games of the year and also in this special ranking. An exquisite gameplay, based on the four-legged exploration of a cyberpunk city orphaned of all its humanity between purrs and meows, will lead us to chase the light to return to the open air while trying to find out what led to the decline of the era of man and the reconquest of the world by nature.
Catapult yourself into this extraordinary world if you haven't already. We have already tested Stray on PC, Steam Deck and PS5: a short but intense adventure that will not fail to give you a few hours of priceless entertainment. On the Valve console it can be played to the maximum, but even by greatly limiting the resources to optimize autonomy it is possible to bring out a decent experience with medium graphics thanks to AMD scaling.
Having now become a cornerstone of the genre, Cuphead was and remains a must for Steam Deck, especially after the release of the appetizing 2022 DLC which further certifies its success and which we told you about in the review of Cuphead The Delicious Last Course.
Its technical requirements are quite low, so it will be possible to play easily even on the "small" portable console from Valve without necessarily sacrificing autonomy or visual quality.
On Steam Deck, performance is guaranteed, being a "perfect" game complete with a green check, and it is also possible to come up with good-level gameplay with a high framerate (obviously maximum at 60 frames per second) and low latency, to unleash the best of your skills anywhere, anytime – or between courses.
We decided not to dedicate the last parenthesis to a particular game but to the services that have done their utmost to find their space on the Steam portable platform from the beginning, finding workarounds and thus providing us with handy tutorials to access them. We're talking about Xbox Cloud Gaming and GeForce NOW, with which you can play your favorite titles directly in streaming by taking advantage of the superior performance of Microsoft Azure datacenters and NVIDIA SuperPods. In particular, in the last year we have experienced an extraordinary period of improvement both in terms of performance of the original machines and of transfer and interaction with our terminals. In recent weeks we have tried to take stock of the situation precisely on Steam Deck, although it is a machine still perfectly capable of playing AAA current gen titles locally.
The idea is to understand to what extent cloud gaming can now represent a real possibility for the medium, even and above all on the move, churning out both performance and visual quality, as well as a substantial improvement in the autonomy of the device, an indirect benefit but that could prove to be essential.
Despite the absence of WiFi 6, Steam Deck still manages to reproduce streaming content correctly, with an input lag now practically canceled if the network requirements of the respective services are respected. In optimal network conditions it is possible to practically completely eliminate the compression artifacts, also thanks to the display of contained dimensions and resolution which manages to considerably mitigate the results of a possible reduction in bandwidth.
In particular, GeForce NOW has made great strides in stream optimization, scaling dynamically and immediately to be able to maintain the fluidity of the gameplay even in the event of a reduction in the quality of the connection, which can happen, for example, moving away from the signal source.
Unfortunately, to have the highest quality of service the price is not absolutely low, while Microsoft offers a very convenient package to its users, including its Cloud Gaming service within the Game Pass, thus combining the convenience of game streaming also the convenience of the securities park included in the price.
The difference lies in performance and quality: with the maximum tier of NVIDIA you currently have access to the performance of an RTX 3080 and soon you will switch to that of an RTX 4080 complete with DLSS3 and NVIDIA Reflex, while here the maximum can bet is the computing power of an Xbox Series X, however far superior to what is offered locally by Steam Deck. This service also works very well and if you are already a subscriber, as well as owners of the handheld console from Valve, we can only recommend the guide to install Xbox Cloud Gaming on Steam Deck.

Fayette County, Tennessee and Desoto and Marshall Counties, Mississippi (Moscow-Miller Project)
TVA has identified preferred locations for transmission upgrades that would provide power for growing load and increase power reliability in Fayette County in Tennessee and in Marshall County in Mississippi.
TVA evaluated each route using social, engineering, and environmental factors. Information sources included available data, aerial photography, limited onsite reviews, public review and comment, and property owner input. Based on public input and evaluation, the preferred route is expected to have the least overall project impacts of the alternatives.
TVA's 17-mile Moscow-Miller Transmission Line would begin at their Hickory Valley-Cordova Tap to Moscow line and extend southwest to the new Chickasaw Trail IP Switching Station. The new Chickasaw Trail IP Switching Station would be located on the corner of Cayce and East Wingo Roads in Byhalia, Mississippi.
The route selected is No. 3 which consists of segment Nos. 1, 2, 4, 7, 12, 17, 18, and 19 as presented at the open house in August 2017.
The new line would consist of steel poles centered on a new 100-foot-wide right of way.
TVA is considering improvements to its transmission system that would provide power for growing load and increase power reliability in Fayette County in Tennessee and in Marshall County in Mississippi.
To provide power to the Chickasaw Trail Industrial Park in Olive Branch, Mississippi, TVA proposes to build the approximately 17- to 19-mile Moscow-Miller Transmission Line. This proposed new line would begin at TVA's Hickory Valley-Cordova Tap to Moscow line and extend southwest 17 to 19 miles to the new Chickasaw Trail IP Switching Station.
The new Moscow-Miller line would be built using steel poles centered on a new 100-foot-wide right of way. The line would be built on steel pole, single-circuit structures. There are 8 alternative line routes and 19 alternate line segments under consideration.
The new Chickasaw Trail IP Switching Station would be located on the corner of Cayce and East Wingo Roads in Byhalia, Mississippi.
The new Diffee Switching Station would be located on Diffee Road in Moscow, Tennessee. It would be connected to both the Hickory Valley-Cordova Transmission Line and the tap line.
TVA would rebuild the Cordova-Holly Springs 161-kV Transmission Line which is currently de-energized. The 2.5-mile line would be rebuilt to double-circuit. The existing right of way on this line is 150 feet wide.
TVA would replace overhead ground wire with fiber on the 5.9-mile Hickory Valley-Cordova Tap to Moscow and the 4.4-mile Miller-Olive Branch 161-kV Transmission Lines.
The project is expected to be in service in summer 2021. Construction is scheduled to begin in summer 2020. (Dates are subject to change. During projects of this magnitude, unexpected issues may arise, resulting in the need to adjust the schedule.)
TVA held an open house in August 2017 to discuss the project and answer questions. A 30-day comment period followed the open house.
The map shows the area of the proposed transmission improvements. The map is also available below as a PDF file.
If you have questions or need help understanding the map, please contact TVA (see below).
Possible route of proposed transmission line (PDF, 8.8 mb)
Preferred route of proposed transmission line (PDF, 3.7 mb)
Open house Aug 10, 2017
Comments accepted Sep 11, 2017
Determine preferred route for field surveys fall 2017
Surveys of the right of way are scheduled to begin winter/spring 2018
Easement purchases are scheduled to begin winter 2019-2020
Construction is scheduled to begin summer 2020
Project in service summer 2021
The appropriate National Environmental Policy Act review will be conducted to ensure that the environmental impacts are minimized. TVA attempts to minimize any land requirements, private property impacts, and environmental impacts associated with this project.
Efforts are made during the siting process to avoid or minimize impacts to floodplains and wetlands in accordance with Executive Orders 11988 and 11990. Floodplains and wetlands are shown on the referenced map. The map illustrates how the route avoids or impacts floodplains and wetlands. Because of project and topographic constraints and because of minimizing impacts to other social, environmental, and engineering resources, no practicable alternative may be available that would allow complete avoidance of impacts to floodplains and wetlands which may require mitigation for minimizing impacts. Also, best management practices would be utilized throughout the project to minimize adverse floodplain and wetland impacts. In compliance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, TVA will be coordinating wetland findings with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Editor's note: On Tuesday, January 23, Pastor Joe Wright of the Central Christian Church in Topeka, Kansas, opened the Kansas State Legislature with a simple prayer---a prayer that made the liberals roar. Point of View aired the story and publicized the prayer nationally on Friday, January 26. The response has been overwhelming. We asked Joe Wright to write his account of what happened.
On Monday evening, January 22, I received a phone call about 10 p.m. from Rep. Tony Powell in Topeka. He knew I was coming to the capital the next day to attend some anti-casino gambling meetings. He asked if I would have the morning prayer as the guest chaplain to open the State House session.
As I sat down late that evening to prepare the prayer for the next morning, I thought about what I needed to include.
That Sunday at church was "Repentance Sunday" and our whole service was centered around searching our hearts and examining our lives. Sitting in my office at home, I remembered that approximately a year ago I had seen a prayer written by a preacher friend, Bob Russell, in Louisville, Kentucky, called "A Prayer of Repentance." I located it and pulled excerpts to help me prepare what I would present the next morning.
Never in my wildest dreams did I expect what the response would be.
I arrived only minutes before I was introduced as the guest chaplain. I quickly stepped to the podium, bowed my head and prayed verbatim what I had written down in front of me. I made no other comments. Immediately following the "amen," I walked out of the room to attend my meeting. It was not until an hour later, when some of the congressmen who were interested in helping us fight the gambling issue joined us for lunch, that I first heard about the "firestorm" that broke out in the House after I left.
Evidently, three or four of the legislators came forward upon my exit and grabbed the mic and ranted and raved about how my prayer had offended them and some of their constituents. The rest is history!
Over 1,100 messages have come through our church switchboard from across the state and nation! Most of those calling are not members of our church, but rather people out at the grassroots who are almost unanimously thrilled to hear the report that the uncompromising truth of God was spoken clearly in our state's political arena in Topeka. God has received magnificent glory these past few days. Praise His name!
But isn't it heartbreaking that we live in an age where what should normally and even essentially be expected from a preacher and every Christian, is so rare that it is applauded? Please think about that. Every one of us who have experienced God's marvelous grace should always be ready and willing to stand up and speak boldly of him at every opportunity afforded us! Let's do it!
Heavenly Father, we come before You today to ask Your forgiveness and seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, "Woe to those who call evil good," but that's exactly what we have done.
We have coveted our neighbors' possessions and called it ambition.
Search us, O God, and know our hearts today. Try us and see if there be some wicked way in us. Cleanse us from every sin and set us free.

Del Mar minister plans church for liberals
By GARY WARTH - Staff Writer
With a defiant message and a mission of unity and reclamation,the Rev. Bonnie Tarwater of Del Mar is planning to open a newchurch that will work for progressive causes.
"I think people are religiously and spiritually hungry," shesaid about her plans to open God Is Love Church, a satelliteproject of the Community Congregational Church of Pacific Beach,United Church of Christ. "It seems to be the right thing and theright time. People are interested."
Specifically, Tarwater said, many liberal and progressiveChristians no longer attend churches because of conflictingideological views about social and political issues. During heryears as a single mother of two children, Tarwater herself feltunwelcome at churches when living in Carmel Valley.
"The left has become so secular," Tarwater said about how thepolitical division has affected churches. "We need to reclaim ourreligious heritage."
While polls show that churchgoers in America tend to beconservative and vote Republican, Tarwater said, churches also havea history of working for progressive causes such as civil rights,one of champions of which was the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.in the 1960s.
"Christianity has always been a religion for the poor," Tarwatersaid. "This is what the Gospel of Matthew teaches us, that how wedo unto the least of us, we are doing unto God. My interpretationof the teachings of Jesus is that they've always been liberal,they've always been progressive."
Yet too often, Tarwater said, conservative political and socialviews are equated with Christianity, while any alternative viewsare spiritually suspect. Such an accusation surfaced just thisweek, when Republican Congressman John Hostettler of Indiana tookexception to Wisconsin Congressman David Obey's request to putCongress on record as being against "coercive and abusive religiousproselytizing" at the U.S. Air Force Academy. The Air Force isinvestigating numerous allegations of inappropriate actions byacademy officials.
"Like a moth to a flame, Democrats can't help themselves when itcomes to denigrating and demonizing Christians," said Hostettler,who retracted his remarks after outraged Democrats asked for hiscensure.
"Many of us are really upset that the Christian Right has stolenChristianity," Tarwater said.
Tarwater hopes to open God Is Love Church in September and isnegotiating for a site in coastal North County to serve Del Mar,Carmel Valley, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Rancho Penasquitos, RanchoSanta Fe and Fairbanks Ranch. Pilgrim Church in Carlsbad is NorthCounty's only other United Church of Christ.
Those interested in joining the church can meet Tarwater andmembers of the church's board of directors at 2 p.m. Sunday at 1145Crest Road in Del Mar. To reserve, call Tarwater at (858)481-7667.
A flier announcing the meeting is blunt about the church's goal:"God calls us to take Christianity and the church back from theChristian Right."
Tarwater is unapologetic about the challenge and reference toother Christians, but said she ultimately wants her church to workwith all other churches on causes they share.
"I don't think I am making any aspersions about other churches,"she said. "I don't doubt their sincerity, but we need to name theproblems that we're facing. I think the right and the left can gettogether on this. I think we can work together."
Tarwater said she differs with many conservative Christianbeliefs, but she sees many opportunities to make common cause.
"One in five children is living in poverty," she said. "One inthree children of color is living in poverty. We can work togetheras a community to challenge these problems."
Tarwater sees another liberal church in the area as anopportunity for more Christians and clergy to work for progressivecauses.
"It's just an embarrassment to me when we go to peace ralliesand there's not more … clergy there," she said.
Tarwater wants to start monthly prayer vigils for world peace,and she hopes the church one day will operate a community centerthat will offer a variety of services. The God Is Love Church willhave lively music and contemporary services and will welcome all,she said.
"The real manifestation of Christ's love is a church thatwelcomes all people," she said.
Tarwater was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Southeast Asia,where her father established counseling centers.

To Use or Not To Use E-Cigarettes?
Amidst the controversy surrounding e-cigarettes or electronic devices that let smokers inhale a vaporised liquid nicotine solution, and the lack of approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a new study finds that 67% of physicians believe e-cigarettes can help patients stop smoking. Nearly 36% of these physicians recommend them to their patients.
The study was published in PloS One and was conducted by Kelly Kandra, PhD. from the Department of Psychology and Sociology, Benedictine University, Lisle, Illinois and her colleagues. The results were collected through an email survey sent out to a random sample of 787 physicians in North Carolina. 128 physicians responded to the survey.
Most of the respondents believed that e-cigarettes help lower the risk for cancer in patients and are a healthier alternative to traditional cigarettes. Nearly 48.4% of physicians reported that their patients ask them about e-cigarettes frequently or sometimes.
While the results from this study may be limited due to the small sample size in a single state, there is no doubt that there are several believers of e-cigarettes. Dr. Darl Rantz, MD, and a solo family practitioner in Macon, Georgia, told Medscape Medical News that he recommends e-cigarettes for all his smoking patients over the age of 18.
According to him, the potential benefit is worth the risk from any toxins as they are a fraction of the known toxins in cigarettes. Cigarettes cause 480,000 deaths per year and he believes that there is absolutely no logic in outlawing a product that could potentially help people to quit smoking. "Even if it only works in 10% of the population, you've just saved 10% of the [smoking] population's life, and you cut my healthcare budget, "says Rantz.
However, there is another school of doctors who believe that the safety of e-cigarettes is unclear and since nicotine patches and nicotine gum have been approved by the FDA, they should be considered as first-line treatments in any tobacco cessation effort.
Dr. Ari Gilmore, a family practitioner at Pacific Medical Centre in Seattle, Washington was also not in favour of using e-cigarettes. He revealed that in his experience, patients are not quitting but are instead smoking both regular and e-cigarettes. He fears that e-cigarettes may actually reduce the chances of quitting in the long-term.
While there is no definite conclusion to this debate, one thing is for sure: physicians need more guidance with respect to the long term safety and effectiveness of e-cigarettes. Consensus on their use may only be achieved with a ruling or official recommendation from the FDA.


Over the years female corpses, especially beautiful female corpses, have become a staple of fashion shoots, advertising campaigns and TV shows – with sexual and fatal violence against women a favorite of TV programs looking to boost a waning audience or build a new one.Last year Vice magazine decided to illustrate their Women in Fiction issue with a fashion shoot depicting a range of well-known writers in the throes of killing themselves, or trying to: Sylvia Plath kneeling in front of an oven; Virginia Woolf standing in a stream, clutching a large stone; Dorothy Parker bleeding heavily into a sink. The fashion credits were included in full, down to the pair of tights used as a noose.
A 2006 Jimmy Choo ad showed a woman apparently passed out in a car boot, a man in dark glasses sitting beside her, brandishing a spade. In 2007 W magazine ran a fashion story featuring model Doutzen Kroes that ticked every box of objectification – multiple images of her seemingly passed out, semi-naked; one in which her lifeless hand held a teddy bear.
In a new advertising campaign for Marc Jacobs, Miley Cyrus and two female models pose on a moonlit beach, Miley sitting up, staring moodily into the middle distance, a woman standing behind her, while another lies on the sand. This model isn't reclining happily, or curled up asleep; she is flat on her back, hair partially covering her face, with the stiff, sightless demeanour of a body in the morgue. A beautifully dressed one, of course.This ad campaign was released a day after the latest cover of US magazine Entertainment Weekly, which shows the two stars of upcoming film Gone Girl lying on a gurney. Ben Affleck is fully dressed and alert, curled awkwardly around Rosamund Pike, who is in a bra and slip, pale, wide-eyed with surprise, very much dead. A tag is tied carefully around her toe.
This obsession with death isn't so surprising, when you consider it as the obvious and ultimate end point of a spectrum in which women's passivity and silence is sexualised, stylised and highly saleable. Over the past few years, there have been a number of brilliant projects that have shown the eye-popping strangeness of how women are posed for the camera, contorted into positions which make them look simultaneously ridiculous, weak, sexually available and highly vulnerable.
Do people actually want these images? Do they want violence against women to be sexualised? There are some strong signs that they don't, from all the women who speak out against these images, to the news item, published last week, which showed that films that pass the Bechdel test – which offer at least two female characters, who have a conversation, about something other than a man –outperform their counterparts at the box office. Last year, of the 50 highest-grossing films in the US, those that passed the Bechdel test earned $176m at the box office, while those that didn't averaged $116m.
Still, there's a reason these images proliferate. If the sexualised stereotype of a woman in our culture is passive and vulnerable, the advertising industry has worked out that, taken to its logical conclusion, there is nothing more alluring than a dead girl.

Kenya, officially the Republic of Kenya, is a sovereign state in the African Great Lakes region of East Africa. Its capital and largest city is Nairobi. Kenya lies on the equator with the Indian Ocean to the south-east, Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, South Sudan to the north-west, Ethiopia to the north and Somalia to the north-east. Kenya covers 581,309 km2 and has a population of about 44 million in July 2012.Kenya has a warm and humid climate along its Indian Ocean coastline, with wildlife-rich savannah grasslands inland towards the capital. Nairobi has a cool climate that gets colder approaching Mount Kenya, which has three permanently snow-capped peaks. Further inland, there is a warm and humid climate around Lake Victoria, and temperate forested and hilly areas in the western region. The northeastern regions along the border with Somalia and Ethiopia are arid and semi-arid areas with near-desert landscapes. Lake Victoria, the world's second largest fresh-water lake and the world's largest tropical lake, is situated to the southwest and is shared with Uganda and Tanzania. Kenya is famous for its safaris and diverse wildlife reserves and national parks such as the East and West Tsavo National Park, the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru National Park, and Aberdares National Park. There are several world heritage sites such as Lamu and world renowned beaches; such as Kilifi where international yachting competitions are held each year.The African Great Lakes region, which Kenya is a part of, has been inhabited by humans since the Lower Paleolithic period. The Bantu expansion reached the area from West-Central Africa by the first millennium AD and the borders of the modern state comprise the crossroads of the Niger-Congo, Nilo-Saharan and Afro-Asiatic ethno-linguistic areas of the continent, making Kenya a multi-cultural country. European and Arab presence in coastal Mombasa dates to the Early Modern period. European exploration of the interior began in the 19th century. The British Empire established the East Africa Protectorate in 1895, known from 1920 as the Kenya Colony. The Republic of Kenya became independent in December 1963. Following a referendum in August 2010 and adoption of a new constitution, Kenya is now divided into 47 semi-autonomous counties, governed by elected governors.The capital, Nairobi, is a regional commercial hub. The economy of Kenya is the largest by GDP in Southeast and Central Africa. Agriculture is a major employer and the country traditionally exports tea and coffee, and more recently fresh flowers to Europe. The service industry is a major economic driver. Kenya is a member of the East African Community. Compared with other African countries, Kenya enjoys relatively high political and social stability.

Па́вловский Поса́д — город в Московской области России.

Расположен при слиянии рек Вохны и Клязьмы в 65 км к востоку от Москвы.

Город с 1917 (без официального оформления; законодательно статус закреплён в 1925 году). С 2017 года — областного подчинения. Административный центр Павлово-Посадского городского округа. Ранее был центром Павлово-Посадского района.

Город известен текстильной промышленностью, прежде всего производством знаменитых во всём мире павловопосадских платков и шалей.

История

Впервые упоминается в 1339 году как село Павлово или Вохна в духовной грамоте Ивана Калиты. Был вотчиной князя Дмитрия Донского.

В XIX веке
Во время Отечественной войны 1812 года Вохонская волость была одним из центров партизанского движения против наполеоновских войск: в районе нынешнего Павловского Посада произошло сражение между французскими подразделениями и местными крестьянами под руководством крестьянина Г. М. Курина волостного старосты Е. С. Стулова и сотского И. Я. Чушкина. В память о тех событиях Военно-исторический патриотический клуб «Вохонский ратник» с 2002 года проводит масштабную историческую реконструкцию «Вохонское сражение».

По именному высочайшему повелению от 2 июня 1844 года посад образовался из пяти селений. Соответствующий указ Правительствующему Сенату за собственноручной подписью царя Николая I содержал следующий текст: «Признав полезным, согласно представлению Министра Внутренних Дел, в Государственном Совете разсмотренному, преподать жителям села Вохны и смежных с оном четырех деревень: Захарова, Меленки, Усова и Дубровы, состоящих Московской губернии в Богородском уезде, новыя удобства к распространению торговли и мануфактурной промышленности, ПОВЕЛЕВАЕМ: означенныя селения переименовать в посад под общим названием Павловскаго, предоставив жителям оных селений вступить, кто пожелает, в мещанское звание или объявить купеческий капитал».

В мае 1845 года состоялось торжественное открытие посада Павловского. Впоследствии в состав посада вошли деревни Городок, Корнево, Прокунино, Филимоново, Степурино. Большую роль в получении статуса посада этими селами сыграли кpупный богоpодский фабpикант шёлковых и бумажных тканей пpи селе Вохна потомственный почетный гражданин Д. И. Широков и глава общественного самоуправления Богородска И. С. Лабзин. Губернатор Московской губернии И. В. Капнист лично приезжал в Павлово для участия в церемонии открытия посада и подписал соответствующий акт.

С 1860 годов посад Павловский входил в Игнатьевскую волость образованную после земской реформы Александра II в составе 2 стана Богородского уезда; на 1890 год включала 2 села, 36 деревень, 3 погоста и завод. Волость существовала до 1929 года. Её центром сначала было село Игнатьево, а с 1921 года — город Павловский Посад. По переписи 1926 года в составе Павлово-Посадской волости было 94 населенных пункта и проживало 35394 жителя.

«В 1864 г. было жителей 4690, к 1 января 1896 г. 7212 чел. (3708 мжч. и 3504 жнщ.): дворян 31, духовного звания 18, почетных граждан и купцов 648, мещан 5392, военного сословия 418, крестьян 634, проч. сословий 71. По исповеданиям: православных 6675, раскольников 485, католиков 15, протестантов 6, евреев 21, проч. исповеданий 10. Церквей православных 1, домов 567, лавок 4».

В XX веке
В 1908 году в Павловском Посаде открылось Общество распространения образования. Председателем его стал Фёдор Григорьевич Краснов (1874—1941), владелец шелкопрядной фабрики и купец II гильдии. По инициативе Ф. Г. Краснова и священника А. Г. Воскресенского в 1910 году началось строительство Реального училища, которое открылось 1 сентября 1911 г.. Руководили работами архитектор Саламбек и инженер Паленбах. Обучались только мальчики. Здесь учились люди, прославившие город, — Иван Николаевич Русинов, Вячеслав Васильевич Тихонов и многие другие. В настоящее время Лицей № 2 носит имя народного артиста В. В. Тихонова.

В годы Великой Отечественной войны город находился в тылу. С Павловским Посадом были связаны имена Героев Советского Союза Л. А. Бердичевского, Ф. А. Полетаева, П. Д. Дмитриева, Е. А. Лобанова, В. В. Маркова, М. И. Степанова, И. П. Шитикова, К. М. Кудряшова, И. М. Федорова, А. И. Шатохина, А. С. Потапова, Ф. А. Торговцева, И. Ф. Пескова, М. М. Юрьева, полных кавалеров ордена Славы В. М. Горячева, Ф. Ф. Соломатина, Н. А. Гусева, Г. М. Хаева.

Павловопосадская земля по праву может считаться родиной покорителей космоса. В городе и районе родились первый заместитель главного конструктора С. П. Королёва В. П. Мишин, заместитель главного конструктора Л. А. Воскресенский и космонавт № 5 В. Ф. Быковский.

К юбилею города в 1984 году поэтом А. Поперечным и композитором П. Аедоницким была написана песня «Павловский Посад», которую исполнил Павел Бабаков. Она стала в некотором роде гимном этого населённого пункта.

В XXI веке
С 2005 до 2017 гг. в составе Павлово-Посадского муниципального района город образовывал муниципальное образование городское поселение Павловский Посад (площадью 4320 га).

К 9 января 2017 года городское поселение Павловский Посад упразднено вместе с преобразованием муниципального района в городской округ.

Watch: Polis, Stapleton Dig In During Their 5th Governor's Debate
Republican Treasurer Walker Stapleton and Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis clashed again Saturday over health care, guns and Colorado's energy future in the fifth one-on-one debate of their gubernatorial race.
Stapleton again criticized Polis' plans for a universal health care system, saying it will drastically boost taxes. "You won't be able to afford to live in Colorado anymore," he said.
Polis insisted Coloradans already pay too much for medical care and prescription drugs, especially compared with other industrialized countries with universal systems. "Coloradans are tired of being ripped off," he said.
Need Some Ballot Assistance? Read The Colorado Voter's Guide To The 2018 Election
Saturday's debate in Colorado Springs was sponsored by The Gazette, Colorado Politics and KOAA-TV. Ballots for the Nov. 6 election are being mailed to Colorado voters starting Oct. 15.
Stapleton said Polis' promotion of a 100 percent green energy grid for Colorado by 2040 would bankrupt Coloradans. Polis insisted his goal is both aspirational and market-based and that Colorado's economy and climate depend on an all-of-the-above energy plan.
Polis again called for restricting access to guns for those in crisis; Stapleton said he doesn't support "unenforceable" gun restrictions. Polis urged voters to elect a pro-abortion rights governor; Stapleton said he'd be a "pro-life governor" who'd uphold "the law of the land" after both were asked what they'd do if the U.S. Supreme Court were to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Stapleton seeks to capture a governor's seat last held by a Republican in 2007. Democrats are banking on a Polis victory and an anti-Donald Trump "blue wave" to flip the state Senate and consolidate control of Colorado's statehouse. Colorado's Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper is term-limited.
Earlier Saturday, Stapleton had promised a good debate performance as he urged a small group of Denver Republicans to get out the vote.
"We don't want a government telling us how to heat our homes or turn on our lights," said Stapleton. "This is a watershed election in so many ways for Colorado."
Polis rallied a group of women, some with children in tow, with the anti-gun violence group Mothers Demand Action at his Denver headquarters on Saturday.
"Some of you didn't choose to be activists in this cause," Polis told them. "Gun violence chose you."
He renewed his call for a Colorado "red flag" law that would prevent those deemed a threat to themselves or others access to guns — a proposal killed this year by Republicans who control Colorado's state Senate.
Polis noted that Stapleton not only opposes a red flag law but has said he would repeal ammunition magazine bans and enhanced background checks passed in Colorado after the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting.
"If we don't take the right path in this year's race, there will be lives lost if red flag isn't passed," Polis declared. "Know that you are on the right side of history."
Like their Republican counterparts, Polis' audience — also canvassing Saturday — was energized.
"We're going to win. We have no option," said Jessica Pettigrew, a 35-year-old Denver nurse and midwife who became involved after her five-year-old son, Julias, participated in a lockdown drill at school.
She wore a T-shirt with the words "Thoughts and Prayers" crossed out and beneath them: "Policy Change."
"I refuse to pass down the epidemic of gun violence to the next generation," Pettigrew said.
Coy Ebell, 35, a downtown Denver precinct captain for Stapleton and tech engineer, said he was encouraged despite Denver's traditionally Democratic leanings. He said Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation had rallied the party.
"People are energized by some of what the left has done," said Ebell. "It's still tough for us in a Democratic district, but people are so sick and tired of identity politics."

Bands from the USA
By Tim September 19, 2013 September 27, 2013 US bands
Ryan Torres (Synth / Drums / Guitar) and Rex Hudson (Guitar / Vocals / Synth) from Denton in the USA combine to form the alt electronic outfit Greenhouse.
'art house cinematography' sound emerges through the speakers as Greenhouse explore with various phrases and overlay them with music that takes the listener on an aural extravaganza. The duo are able to take snatches of sounds and extrapolate a storyboard template in to which they insert synthetic and instrumental sounds to deliver an output that is steeped in visual imagery in to which the audience becomes totally focussed.
There is a subdued mute, almost an electronic version of garage rock, which forms the background of the work and the duo, by combining instruments and technology are able to produce tracks which are as unctuous as that spoon of the chocolate mixture, whilst containing a hint of the darker side of life. This mixture raises Greenhouse well above the crowd and although they have an established and loyal following, it is far smaller than the quality of the out-put deserves.
Whether you like your cocoa prepared as a warm chocolate with marshmallows and Jersey Cream or as a bitter black coffee, you will find something to attract the taste-buds.

Django Voris
Django Voris is an alt-electro composer from New York in the USA.
Whirling in to the mix of eclectic sounds are references from many strains of music and it is perhaps not really a surprise that Django Voris has a sound to which not only does a classical music based UK radio station (BBC Radio 3) declare a real sense of joy but also I, a cynical '70s punk rocker and although it sits naturally in neither camp the way he is able to straddle both ends of the spectrum is a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of the out-put.
I have had the opportunity to listen to much of his back catalogue along with his new LP Constantopolis which is set for release later this month. I can't give you one particular reason why I should like this as: Jazz; Symphoneta and:
Electro-loops all feature, I could however give you a myriad of reasons why I shouldn't, but I can't but help to recommend you spending some time to get to know Django Voris as the quality of the output and engagement is a must for my 'No idea, but I do' playlist. I guess as a pointer as to why – when someone can turn a freestyle jazz track into a dub reggae beat you just can't help be entranced.
It is with some pleasure that I introduce Django Voris for the sheer creativity and ability to compose music that ably spans the breadth of the spectrum delivering an out-put which captivates, entrances and takes the audience on a soaring auditory journey.

Oh No Oh My
Oh No Oh My was an indie rock band from Austin in the USA composed of Greg Barkley, Joel Calvin, Daniel Hoxmeier and Tim Regan.
A well established outfit, Oh No Oh My developed a sound which demonstrated their experience as musicians working together, with music that flowed as naturally as a river. Whilst over the years (and I was first introduced to them back in 2011 when they were already seasoned players together) their output took on a calmer note, ever retaining the original creativity they first displayed nine years ago having lost none of the genuine enthusiasm for their craft. Sadly they are now disbanded and played their last gig on the 24th August 2013, but I felt it was appropriate to tilt a hat to a band that has been fine stalwarts over the years and I wish all the musicians every success in their new musical directions.
The impressive back catalogue and touring schedule ensured that Oh No Oh My were readily accessible to those wanting to explore a fine group. It only remains a surprise that they didn't had more significant exposure over the years, but that I guess is down to the vagaries of the music industry. It is just coming up to two in the morning as I write this and somehow the material is perfect for the time. Relaxed and melodic, but with enough zest to maintain the full concentration of a tired mind. The interplay between the various instruments allowed the band to play with compositions to deliver fairly complex baton changes mid bar and it is the ease with which they made these transitions that captures the attention of the listener.
Between the Devil and the Sea – EP – Oh No Oh My from 2005 is available on iTunes*.

The Known Pleasures
By Tim September 10, 2013 September 9, 2013 US bands
From Lake Havasu City in the USA comes Isreal Hendricks (Bass), Tom Smirk (Drums) and Jordan Meyers (Guitar / Vocals) also known as the alt indie band The Known Pleasures.
Resounding waves of sound soar out of the speakers as The Known Pleasures combine influences from the past three decades to deliver a style of music which is both powerful in nature and also plays heavily with guitar melodies to provide the audience with material that fills the head.
A couple of years experience has seen the trio develop a good understanding between each other and they play to the strengths of the skills that lay within the band, exuding confidence in their out-put. The rolling drums which are a signature sound of The Known Pleasures are accompanied by intricate high speed guitar playing and completed by a surprisingly expressive voice which enables the band to inflect considerable emotive context into their work. Whilst in the main there is an underlying urgency to the progression of the tracks they remain tightly controlled and as a result despite the reality of the speed, one is left with a sense of calmness.
With the depth and range of the songs the trio are able to encapsulate as much musically as many bands with more players. A new seven track LP – Let The Old Dreams Die deserves attention.
Let the Old Dreams Die – The Known Pleasures is available on iTunes*.

Tape Deck Mountain
By Tim September 9, 2013 September 7, 2013 US bands
Tape Deck Mountain based in New York in the USA is the dreamwave songwriter Travis Trevisan.
There is a certain pleasure to be taken from trawling old archives of missed emails and when I first received an email back in 2010 about Tape Deck Mountain the act was still very much steeped in the West Coast of America lo-fi scene, the intervening years have seen a more cynical disposition emerge in the sounds as the New York edges have scuffed the material and better for it, it is too.
The shifting sands of sonics scour against each other in the ears until becoming smoother and the more rounded notes evolve, which start to massage the brain with pressing urgency akin to a dog leaning against the legs and the listener finds themselves shifting position to accommodate the music which takes on a kaleidoscopic form into which the audience lays back in comfort.
As would perhaps be anticipated these languid pieces are given time to develop by Travis and this is not music to devour ravenously, rather to savour the flavour.
For fans of the genre, Tape Deck Mountain is a fine exponent and with regular releases and tours across the USA, readily accessible.
Sway – Tape Deck Mountain is available on iTunes*.
