Following the conservation of a painted ceiling above the East Staircase at Stowe House, a limited investigative study of the cornice and walls was carried out, during which time a scheme of nationally-significant grisaille wall paintings was discovered, dating from c1740. There is no existing record of these paintings and they were believed to have been destroyed at some point between 1798 and 1820, which emphasises the need to research and record this important work.
The paintings are thought to be authored by the little-known Venetian artist, Francesco Sleter, one of the 'Rococo Venetians' who began to make their mark on English decorative painting at the turn of the 18th century. Fieldwork attempted to establish the extent of the surviving scheme as well as its composition and iconography, through cross-sectional analysis and targeted uncovering trials. An additional investigation into the architectural paint finishes within the East Staircase and upper landing helped to establish the chronological development of the space and its relationship with the adjoining landing. The discovery of this scheme of paintings not only alters our perception of the space, but also offers an increased understanding of its physical history and attribution. The study also examines the ethical and practical implications of uncovering the paintings to facilitate their conservation.

Гран-прі Ме́ксики 1964 року — заключний, десятий етап чемпіонату світу 1964 року з автоперегонів у класі Формула-1, що відбувся 25 жовтня на трасі Ерманос Родріґес. Останнє Гран-прі в кар'єрі американського гонщика, чемпіона світу 1961 року Філа Гілла.

Огляд
Перед останньою гонкою шанси на чемпіонський титул зберігали троє: Ґрем Гілл (лідер загального заліку), Джон Сертіс та Джим Кларк. Гілл, стартувавши з 6 місця, доволі швидко перебрався на третє слідом за Кларком та Ґерні (таке розташування приносило йому титул). Та на 31-му колі в нього врізався партнер Сертіса по Феррарі Лоренцо Бандіні, що йшов слідом, і пошкодив його болід. Англієць змушений був витратити багато часу на ремонт і в результаті фінішував лише на 11-му місці з відставанням у два кола від лідерів. Невдача Гілла відкрила шлях його конкурентам (хоча Сертіс у випадку своєї перемоги ставав чемпіоном за будь-яких обставин). Кларк доволі впевнено лідирував майже всю дистанцію, і за два кола до фінішу ситуація була вигідною для нього: Сертіс, якому потрібне було друге місце, йшов четвертим, слідом за Деном Ґерні, наздогнати якого не виглядало реальним, та все тим же Бандіні. Та на передостанньому колі на боліді Кларка виникли проблеми з мотором, які одразу ж позбавили його всіх шансів: ще на цьому колі він віддав лідерство Ґерні (зрештою, на останньому колі він зійшов з дистанції й був класифікований лише 5-м). Ситуація вмить стала сприятливою для Сертіса, якому тепер достатньо було лише обігнати свого напарника... На фініші Сертіс виграв у Бандіні 0,7 секунди, і друге місце (разом з невдалим виступом Гілла) принесло йому перший у кар'єрі чемпіонський титул. А першим у Мехіко фінішував Ґерні з відривом більше хвилини від двох пілотів «Феррарі». Це була його друга перемога в сезоні і третя в кар'єрі.

Why Comcast, Verizon and Disney Should—and Shouldn't—Try to Acquire Fox
The company is in play, and these three are the top suitors
By Jason Lynch
Verizon, Disney and Comcast are the top suitors looking into a Fox acquisition.
Sources: Getty Images, Verizon, Walt Disney Company, Comcast
The "For Sale" sign is out at 21st Century Fox, and several of the biggest media companies are lining up to speak with executive chairman Rupert Murdoch and his sons James and Lachlan about buying many of the company's most prized assets.
Less than two weeks ago, news broke that Fox had been in on-again, off-again talks to sell much of its company to Disney. While those negotiations had cooled at the time, it sent the industry a clear message that Fox was in play—and several new companies have reportedly begun lining up to kick the tires.
Last night, the Wall Street Journal reported that Comcast and Verizon have also had talks with Fox, while Sony has also had informal conversations. (It would seem likely that other major companies—think Amazon, Viacom and Discovery—will also at least consider a deal.)
If any of these discussions would yield a deal, Fox would likely hold onto a few of its assets—the Fox broadcast network, Fox News and FS1—and operate more like a CBS Corp., while everything else—including FX, National Geographic and international assets like Sky and Star—would be sold.
Fox's surprising decision to put itself on the block, and the surge of interest from the likes of Disney and Comcast, speaks to the need for scale to compete in the evolving media landscape. (However, during Fox's earnings call last week, executive co-chairman Lachlan Murdoch said the company already had the necessary scale to thrive.)
Any potential acquisition will be fraught with landmines, as proven by the AT&T and Time Warner deal, which more than a year after it was announced, could prompt a Justice Department lawsuit to block it. That said, here is a look at the company's top three suitors at the moment (sorry, Sony), and why each would—and wouldn't—be the ideal choice to acquire some or all of 21st Century Fox
Why Fox is a good fit: At first glance, Comcast is the least likely suitor of the three, for the reasons we list below. But according to CNBC, Comcast is interested less because of the company's domestic linear assets and more because of its international ones. India's Star network and Europe's Sky (Fox currently has a 39 percent stake, and maintains that its deal to acquire the rest of the company will close by the middle of next year) would allow Comcast to rapidly expand its global footprint. Also, a deal would enable Comcast to gain control of Hulu (currently, that streaming service is jointly owned by Disney, Fox and Comcast's NBCUniversal, while Time Warner also has a stake) at a time when every media company is looking for a streaming/OTT presence. And Comcast could mine Fox's movie franchises for future attractions at its Universal Studios theme parks (aside from Avatar, which already has a deal in place with Disney World's Animal Kingdom).
Why Fox is a bad fit: Even if Fox holds onto the networks that compete with NBCUniversal properties—Fox, Fox News and FS1—it's unclear how, and if, FX and USA could co-exist in the same portfolio. And the two movie studios—Universal and 20th Century Fox—would have more overlap than, say, Disney and Fox. Most importantly, out of the three suitors on the list, a Comcast-Fox deal would seem to run into the biggest problems with the Justice Department.
Why Fox is a good fit: Much like AT&T and Time Warner, Verizon and Fox would offer an intriguing marriage of content and distribution—and Verizon is the only one of the three suitors that could conceivably acquire the entire company without running into major antitrust issues. If Verizon wants to compete on the same playing field as Disney, Comcast and AT&T-Time Warner, acquiring Fox gives it the best opportunity to go toe-to-toe: it would have a movie studio, TV production studio and several networks to go along with its robust wireless and digital offerings.
Why Fox is a bad fit: It's still unclear whether Verizon, which has kept its distance from so-called legacy media—wants to be a major player along these lines. Its Oath internet-media division just announced another round of layoffs—around 500 staffers from the AOL and Yahoo brands—raising questions about whether Verizon is looking to expand on the level that a Fox acquisition would require.
Why Fox is a good fit: As is the case with Comcast, the company's international portfolio is among the most valuable asset here, and this would also give Disney control over Hulu, which could end up as the backbone of the company's OTT service it plans to launch in 2019. The deal would also align almost all of Disney-owned Marvel movie properties under the same company (Fox has movie rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises, which also includes Deadpool), while Disney, which opened an Avatar-themed park at Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom in May, would have control over the Avatar franchise ahead of the coming four sequels that James Cameron has begun production on.
Why Fox is a bad fit: Even without Fox and Fox News in the mix, how will a family-focused company like Disney handle some of Fox's grittier films (think Alien: Covenant, Logan and The Revenant), as well as the FX network?

Banana Split Owners Celebrate 30 Years of 'PERFECT ICE CREAM STORM'
By: Tom Strong – June 2013
When Randy Brown was 16 years old, he started working at the Ohio Street Dairy Queen in Aurora. Little did he know that was the beginning of a success story that continues today. It's a story of risk taking and hard work familiar to those who have started small businesses. Randy and his wife, Lisa, know it well as they celebrate 30 years of owning the Banana Split shop near Garfield Park in Aurora. Randy managed the Illinois Avenue Dairy Queen for two years, and he and Lisa operated it together for two more years ending in 1982. Then came the turning point in their career. They gutted the now familiar building, which they had purchased at the corner of Church and Sheffer roads, remodeled it, and opened it as the Banana Split on Feb. 11, 1983.
"It was stressful-I was 20 and Randy was 23, and we had sunk all of our savings into the business," Lisa said. "It was sink or swim, but never in my mind did I think it would fail." "Our parents came every night to help tear down the machines. If not for their help, it would have been much harder to learn the routine." Randy had similar memories of opening the shop. "We basically thought we could do it right from the get go, but it took a while to learn the routine," he said. "Lisa's dad gave us guidance and suggestions, but didn't tell us what to do."
Early on, they envisioned opening new stores, but didn't have the capital to do it at the time. After their best season in 1993 (the "perfect ice cream storm," according to Randy), and also after help from an Aurora University business class market survey, the Browns eventually opened a second Banana Split in North Aurora in 1997. "It was a great learning experience," Lisa said. "We met a lot of great customers and employees." But market conditions (and regulations) didn't develop as had been predicted, and the store closed after four and half years. Lisa and Randy since have devoted all of their efforts to re-establish the image and business at their original location. As community-minded small business owners who give back, the Browns have been second to none."We've done Aurora boys' baseball booster tickets for 30 years and have sponsored a team for 29 years," Randy said. "We've also sponsored a girls' softball team for more than 20 years, and have been involved in North Aurora baseball for about six years."But sponsoring youth sports was really just the beginning of their giving back.
Banana Split has helped to sponsor the summer reading program at the Aurora Public Library (by donating coupons to redeem at the store) for more than 15 years, and has supported Senior Services by delivering ice cream treats to its meetings twice a month. The business is in its third year of doing fundraisers for schools and school organizations such as national honor societies. The sponsored organization is rewarded with a percentage of sales from a designated day, and Banana Split has donated as many as 10 of those days in a season. The store is also in the midst of a Passionately Pink fundraiser for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in memory of the mother of one of its employees. And speaking of employees, Lisa and Randy are very proud of their staff, and said that some have stayed as long as 12 and 14 years. The current group boasts 137 years of combined experience. What makes the Browns so conscientious in giving back to the community? "We grew up here, it's our home, and we wouldn't be where we are without everybody's support," Lisa said. "You would like to leave a place nicer than you found it," Randy added. "That's what I would like to do with the store's neighborhood-to help it improve. I would hope that we've had a hand in doing that. We want good memories for families."

Russia Vows Mirror Response to Mid-Range Missile Deployment in NATO Countries
Earlier on Friday NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg said that the alliance would respond with coordinated "defensive" measures in the event of the termination of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
Russia will provide a mirror response to the deployment of mid-range and low-range missiles in NATO nations in Europe, according to the First Deputy Chair of the Russian Federation Council, Vladimir Dzhabarov.
Meanwhile, Russia's permanent mission to the alliance said Friday, after a meeting of the NATO-Russia Council, that Moscow considers NATO's attempts to blame the destruction of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty on Moscow groundless.
"We pointed to the fact that attempts to pin the blame over the destruction of the INF Treaty on Russia were groundless", the mission said in a statement.
Russia stressed the need for restraint, the mission said. Russia confirmed that, should the United States quit the treaty, Moscow did not plan to install any "relevant weapons in Europe and other regions as long as there are no US missiles of short and medium range there."
"We stressed that further inflaming the political and military situation in Europe carried real risks", the statement said. "We have called on the NATO countries to make a similar statement", the mission added.
Russia and NATO exchanged, at the NATO-Russia Council meeting, information on military exercises and called to boost military contacts, Russia's Permanent Mission to NATO added
"The Parties had an information exchange on important exercises of NATO and Russia to increase the predictability of military activities and prevent misperceptions of each other's intentions. The Russian Side noted the demand for intensifying mil-to-mil contacts", it said.
On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin enacted the official suspension of Russia's participation in the 1987 INF Treaty. The move came months after the United States suspended its obligations under the accord on 2 February and warned that it would launch a withdrawal process which would be completed in six months unless Moscow remedied the country's alleged violations of the deal. Russia pledged to act proportionally.
The INF Treaty was signed in 1987 by then-leader of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev and then-US President Ronald Reagan. Under the agreement, the leaders agreed to destroy all cruise and ground-launched ballistic missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometres (310 and 3,400 miles).

TowerLight, the market leading manufacturer of commercial lighting towers and site protection systems for the UK hire industry, are displaying a new product from their expanding security range and an environmentally biased lighting product at the forthcoming Executive Hire Show.
With site security currently under the spotlight, TowerLight are set to unveil their latest innovation, the TL Security Tower, in-conjunction with their security systems partner, Onwatch.
The TL Security Tower is a highly versatile mobile security system designed to accommodate CCTV cameras, Wi Fi systems, surveillance monitoring, infra-red detectors, evidence quality video equipment and public address loudspeakers. The unit is entirely self-contained with power provided from a series of batteries charged from mains power or a generator.
TowerLight have equipped the TL Security Tower with a series of features that make it ideally suited for webcam and remote viewing, lock monitoring, fire alarm operation and traffic monitoring on construction sites, storage areas, and rail or port compounds. The TL Security Tower will assist against theft, vandalism and other forms of anti-social activities, whilst helping to secure property.
The TL Security Tower is available to purchase directly from TowerLight or, alternatively, there are a range of re-hire options are available from Onwatch. Representatives from Onwatch will be on hand during the two days to answer directly any questions regarding the features and benefits of hiring security towers.
"We began designing the TL Security Tower following requests from the security industry to have a mobile surveillance system that would operate remotely, "explained Paul Hay, TowerLight's UK director. " The TL Security Tower is particularly useful to help prevent metal theft which is already a major problem in most towns and cities, we anticipate considerable growth in our security systems," added Paul.
Alongside the TL Security Tower, TowerLight will be showing their VB9 lighting tower. During 2012 a significant number of UK leading hire firms invested in TowerLight's VB9, which reduces fuel usage by a staggering 72% by simply utilising a smaller diesel engine combined with a series of electronics. However, the metal halide lighting output of the VB9 is not compromised and remains at HSE recommended levels. An LED option is available. Visitors to the TowerLight stand can view the VB9 and discover for themselves how the VB9 can significantly reduce their client's running costs.
All of the TowerLight team are looking forward to meeting with customers old and new and are keen to explain the cost saving and wider environmental benefits of their expanding lighting line up and discuss the opportunities available in the site security markets.

Lafayette couple suing Amtrak over train derailment in Montana
Margaret Christopherson
LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Multiple people, including a Lafayette couple, are suing Amtrak after they were injured in the recent Montana train derailment.
Amtrak's Empire Builder was headed towards Seattle from Chicago and derailed near Joplin, Montana, on Sept. 25, according to multiple news sources.
Those that have filed lawsuits against Amtrak include Ryan and Hanna Shea of Leverett, Massachusetts, Brandi and Shawnee Gimse of York, Pennsylvania, Theodore Hastreiter of Whitefish, Montana, and Morgan and Christopher Grosso of Lafayette, Ind., according to a WISH-TV tweet.
The Indiana couple were located in the first row of the observation car when it tilted, fell on its side and slid around 200 feet before stopping. This derailment resulted in the deaths of three people and left more than 50 others injured.
According to The Associated Press, the westbound Empire Builder traveling from Chicago to Seattle left the tracks about 4 p.m. Sept. 25 near Joplin. Trevor Fossen, a Joplin resident, was first on the scene, having witnessed "a wall of dust" about 300 feet high.
"I started looking at that, wondering what it was and then I saw the train had tipped over and derailed," Fossen, who called 911, told the AP. Fossenstarted trying to get people out and called his brother to bring ladders to help those who could not get down from windows they were using as exits.
A team of investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board was on the scene soon after the crash.

The Academy has the singular privilege of operating from a house consecrated through long years of residence by the great man from whom the Academy gets not only its name but its very raison d'etre.
Sir Syed House was originally a military mess. In 1876 it was bought by Syed Mahmood, the first Indian judge of the Allahabad High Court for the residence of his father Jawad ud Daula Arif Jung Sir Syed Ahmad. The bungalow, known as Sir Syed House, lay in a dilapidated condition till it was fully renovated and restored to its original grandeur in the early 1970S. It was decided to Convert the Building into a memorial for the founder and house in it the Academy named after him. The Academy was inaugurated on 22nd October, 1974. The founder Director of the Academy the Late Professor Khaliq Ahmad Nizami put the wh effort on a sound footing with his extraordinary interest andinowledge of the Aligarh Movement.
Since its inception the Academy has been trying to create an awareness and understanding about the tremendous contributions that Sir Syed made for the advancement of the cause of educational, technological, social and cultural development. The Academy highlights the substantial effort of Sir Syed to promote unity and ha among the various comniunifies of this vast country and thus to champion the noble cause of nation building.
The first gallery aims at providing an introductory glimpse into the life and times of Sir Syed and his associates.
The second gallery tells through its exhibits the story of the various phases of the M.A.O. College.
The third gallery presents a brief history of Aligarh Muslim University. On display are the photographs of the Vice-Chancellors as well as those of the campus buildings in a chronological sequence. Three large portraits of the founder, his sons and close associates can be seen in the conference hall and the library.
Besides the official records of MAO College, this section contains records of the various societies, projects and associations established by Sir Syed in a period of about Eighty five years. This set of records provides a wealth of source material not only for a study of Muslim educational activity from 1863 to 1947 but also for a knowledge of the contributions of many muslims to the country's struggle for freedom.

The Nevada Gaming Control Board will see the departure of AG Burnett on the 22nd of December. This well respected and much loved industry insider will be moving on to joining a gaming law firm called McDonald Carano. Burnett has spent the last 20 years of his life in gaming regulation and his expertise should be put to great use in his new post.
Burnett has been with the Nevada Gaming Control Board since 2011 where he started out as a chairman to the board. He received a second term as well in 2015 before he announced his departure this year. A successor has not yet been named for Burnett.
Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval praised Burnett on the government's website. He noted that Burnett was a very thoughtful regulator. He managed to establish strict codes of conduct and let the rule of law reign, yet he still realised that to let the industry grow and expand you cannot be afraid of new ideas or liberalising certain elements.
With Burnett at their head, Nevada has had continues years of runaway gaming revenues being generated. The state made almost a billion dollars in gambling revenue by October this year. In a press statement Burnett said that the board has faced unprecedented regulatory challenges in recent years.
Nightclub regulation and internet gambling were top regulatory priorities for the board and he said that he has been proud of their performance during these exciting and unique times. In general the American gambling regulatory system has been in a constant state of flux. Four states have been fighting tooth and nail to eventually get their online gambling operations legalised in their state.
Naturally Nevada has served as a leading light for legalised gambling even though there was still strong opposition by the land based casinos in Vegas to prevent online gambling from moving into their markets.
That said many Vegas casinos have slowly started adopting online gambling in very strictly regulated and controlled environments. It is a step in the right direction and perhaps the Nevada Gaming Control Board will appoint a new chairman that isn't afraid to think outside the box.
Online gambling has already started eating into land based casinos market share as can be seen in Atlantic City in New Jersey so hopefully the board will have the foresight to embrace new technology and market changes instead of going against the stream and attempting to retain land based casino's grip on the market in the US.

Damaged Teeth? What Kind of Dental Treatment Right for Me?
If any of your teeth are missing or too badly damaged to repair, it's important that you get them replaced as soon as possible.
Your dentist can help you decide whether a dental implant, bridge or denture is the right option for you.
Gaps in your teeth don't just affect your smile. They can also cause problems with eating and speaking, as well as make your mouth more vulnerable to infections.
If you've had a tooth extracted or lost a tooth to decay, trauma or disease, your dentist will discuss your options for a natural-looking replacement. The three most common tooth replacement methods are dental implants, dental bridges and removable dentures, and each option has its advantages.
Titanium implants replace tooth roots in the jaw. Once fused with the jaw bone, implants support crowns or permanent dentures designed to look and function like real teeth.
Because they are bonded with the jaw, dental implants can be a permanent solution to replace missing teeth. They can't be easily damaged or dislodged and they don't require any special maintenance apart from routine brushing and flossing.
Implants are more expensive up-front than bridges or removable dentures, but because they don't usually need to be replaced, they can be more economical in the long term.
If you've been told that you aren't eligible for standard implants because you have a small jaw, you can talk to your dentist about bone grafting procedures.
Find out more about dental implants.
Unlike implants that are fused to the jaw, dental bridges are supported by crowns that are fitted over the teeth on either side of the gap. This means the procedure is less invasive, but bridges are also more vulnerable to damage and won't last as long as titanium implants.
Crowns and bridges can be made of durable porcelain, zirconia or porcelain fused to gold, and are modelled after your existing teeth. A bridge can replace a single tooth or several teeth and have a lower initial cost than implants.
Learn more about crowns and bridges.
Removable dentures are the most affordable option for replacing missing teeth. They also don't require any surgery, unless you're replacing a whole arch of teeth and need to have any remaining teeth extracted first.
Dentures are custom-fitted to your mouth and designed to look as much like your natural teeth as possible. However, they don't offer the same strength as implants or bridges, so your dentist might advise you to avoid certain foods and activities. They also need to be cleaned daily to remove all traces of food and plaque.
Read more about the different types of dentures.
If you have any missing teeth and you want to discuss your options, contact North Sydney Dental Practice to talk to our experienced team about implants, bridges and dentures.

Q: Template parse errors: Unexpected character "EOF" I am using [ngClass] based on conditions using indexOf. I am using disabled class if the result of indexOf is not equals to -1.  If it equals -1,  I am using enabled class. My code is as follows:
<a (click)="selectLocationId(location.pk_location_id, location.locationname, location.locationcode)"
   [ngClass]="{
      'disabled' : disabledLocations.indexOf(location.pk_location_id)!= -1,
      'enabled' : disabledLocations.indexOf(location.pk_location_id) === -1
   }">
    {{ location.locationname + location.pk_location_id + disabledLocations[0]}}
</a>

With this code it is returning result  of indexOf as -1,  even though the value exists in array. Because I should pass value in quotes, if I put quotes, it is giving following error :

Template parse errors: Unexpected character "EOF" (Do you have an unescaped "{" in your template? Use "{{ '{' }}") to escape it.) ("**

I tried following ways but getting same error:
1)
[ngClass]="{

    'enabled' : disabledLocations.indexOf(""+location.pk_location_id+"") === -1
}">

    'enabled' : disabledLocations.indexOf("'"+location.pk_location_id+"'") === -1
}">
    {{ location.locationname }}

The SBA and fimicolous
fimicolous
(fy-MIK-uh-luhs, fuh-)
Living in or growing in animal excrement.
From Latin fimus (dung) + colere (to inhabit).
The fimicolous propensity of Congress revealed itself as the Senate filibustered away HR 5297 the Small Business Lending Act. This bill would have extended the 90 percent guaranty on 7(a) loans as well as extended fee waivers along with an increased 7(a) and 504 program.
Using the filibuster to delay or block legislative action is a cherished tradition dating back to before the Civil War. The name for this tactic for pirating debate actually comes from a Dutch word meaning "pirate".
In 1917, senators adopted a rule (Rule 22), at the urging of President Woodrow Wilson, that allowed the Senate to end a debate with a two-thirds majority vote, a device known as "cloture."
A successful cloture vote means the Senate would be limited to just 30 more hours of debate, which is a great topper to the 30 days they've already spent on it. It does not really matter since the House is already on summer vacation until after Labor Day.
What the politicians do agree on however is that Small Business will be the engine of job growth which is why this legislation is also referred to the Small Business Jobs Act.
Fimicolous is a wonderful adjective to describe what happens in Washington.
SBA LIBOR Base Rate July 2010 = 3.35%
SBA Fixed Base Rate July 2010 = 5.88%
504 Debenture Rate for July
The debenture rate is 3.80% but note rate is 3.86% and effective yield is only 5.213%.
It will be Small Business that will be the engine of job growth out of this recession.
This morning Intuit said small business employment grew slightly in July generating approximately 40,000 new jobs nationwide in July, a decrease from June's revised estimate of 45,000 jobs. Since the growth trend began in October 2009, small business jobs have increased by 330,000. The Intuit Small Business Employment Index shows increasing employment since October 2009, reversing a downward trend that dates back to 2007.
The employment index reflects data from approximately 62,000 small business employers who use Intuit Online Payroll. These smallest employers are important to the economy as they comprise 87 percent of the total U.S. private employer base and employ nearly 20 million people.
Small Business accounted for almost all the jobs created in June. Payrolls had declined by 125,000 in June as the government cut 225,000 temporary workers conducting the 2010 census, Labor Department figures in Washington showed. Employment at all companies rose 83,000.
Keep your eye on Friday's payroll report from the Department of Labor.
Here is a summary of payroll employment and this week's interesting little table of data:
June (125,000)
May 431,000

The pace of hiring signals it will take years for the world's largest economy to recover the more than 8 million jobs lost during the recession that began in December 2007.
Don't be deceived by the jump in payrolls for May when they rose by 431,000 since it included a 411,000 jump in government hiring of temporary workers for the 2010 census.
All the new jobs are coming from small business. According to Intuit, 60,000 were added in February, when it seemed that an employment recovery was imminent. Additional hiring dropped steadily during the spring, to 40,000 in April and 32,000 in May. Another payroll company, Automatic Data Processing Inc., painted an even gloomier picture, saying that small businesses lost 1,000 jobs nationwide in June.
While correlation is not causation, the drop in small business hiring coincidences with the expiration of the SBA loan Recovery ACT stimulus measures.
Interest rates will stay low for, as the Federal Reserve likes to say, for an extended period.
Which would you rather have -- a million dollars, or Joe Oliver's head full of nickels?
That was the question Brett Boone once asked while playing for the Cincinnati Reds with teammate Joe Oliver. At the time, Joe had what was believed the biggest head in all of baseball.
The distinction now goes to Giants manager Bruce Bochy.
His cap size is 8 ¾ which is half a dozen sizes bigger than the average 7 3/8.
When he was finally called up to the majors in 1982, his bigger-than-normal hat size caused him trouble. After arriving in New York, he could not find a helmet to fit him and had to wait until his was rushed up from Tidewater before he could play.
Throughout his 14 years as a catcher in organized ball, Bochy wore the same batting and catching helmets. Both helmets were specially made in 1975, his first year in A ball with the Covington Astros. The batting lid was so huge that when he made a game-winning hit late in the '86 season, his Padres teammates celebrated by filling it with ice and a six-pack.
That large head of Bochy's seems to be filled with knowing the rules of the game.
Last week Dodgers hitting coach Don Mattingly, who had to take over after Joe Torre had been thrown out of the game, went to the mound for a chat with Dodger reliever Jonathon Broxton. Mattingly took a few steps back off the dirt toward the dugout before turning around to answer a question from the Dodger first baseman.
Bochy and his pumpkin head came out to protest that Mattingly's about-face constituted a second trip to the mound. The umpires huddled and agreed, and Broxton had to leave the game. Broxton who had 19 saves and the week before had finished off the National League's win in the All-Star Game, by rule was forced from the game with one out, the bases loaded and the Dodgers holding a one-run lead. Without their All Star pitcher the Dodgers gave it up and the Giants rallied to win, 7-5.
Rule 8.06 of the Official Baseball Rules stipulates a trip to the mound begins when a manager or coach crosses the foul line and ends when he leaves the 18-foot dirt circle surrounding the pitcher's rubber. Returning to the dirt constitutes a second trip, at which point the pitcher must be removed.

Freshly peeled and nestled atop a sushi roll, or infused into a steamy cup of hot tea, ginger punctuates a number of foods and beverages—and increasingly, skin care. Part of the Zingiberaceae family, ginger is indigenous to southeastern Asia.1
Zingiber officinale (ginger) is one of the earliest-known spices revered for its pungency and aroma, and viewed as a "healing gift from God" in ayurvedic beliefs.1
In traditional Chinese medicine, ginger mainly was used to transport body fluids. This is due to its stimulant activity, which accelerates circulation, in addition to its capacity to dilute blood.1

As an ancient herbal remedy, used for more than 2,000 years,2 ginger treated a range of other ailments, serving as everything from a digestive aid, spiritual beverage, aphrodisiac and anticancer agent, to an antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory ingredient, analgesic, immune system stimulant, and more.1 Clearly, some of these folklore functions lend themselves to skin care.
Active Constituents
Fresh ginger contains a multitude of compounds. Zingiberene dominates, comprising 30% of the essential oil. Other entities lending to ginger's characteristic flavor include ß-sesquiphelandrene and ar-curcumene. The pungency of ginger can be attributed to its gingerol content, one main actor of which is [6]-gingerol. This chemical is related to capsaicin, found in chilis, and piperine, found in black pepper.3
When ginger is heated or dried, its gingerols transform to different compounds. Zingerone is one, which is less pungent and imparts the flavor found in gingerbread. Shogaols also are formed, which are almost twice as pungent as gingerols and characteristic of the dried spice.
Gingerols are believed to be the source of the plant's antiemetic, analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, chemopreventive and antioxidant properties.1 Research from Georgia State University notes that ginger and its phenolic constituents 6-gingerol, among others, suppress carcinogenesis in the skin, gastrointestinal tract, colon and breast.2 The specific mechanisms are not well-understood, but they are believed to involve the up-regulation of carcinogen-detoxifying enzymes, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. Furthermore, [6]-gingerol has been shown to have an anti-angiogenic effect, preventing the formation of new blood cells that support tumor growth.3
In a similar manner to non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs,3 6-gingerol, 6-shogaol and other structurally similar substances in ginger have been found to inhibit entities that contribute to prostaglandin biosynthesis.1 Furthermore, [6]-shogaol also has been shown to inhibit the release of histamine from mast cells, reducing the allergic response.
Ginger also has been shown to inhibit NF-κB, a protein complex that controls the transcription of DNA, cytokine production and cell survival. It can induce antioxidant response element (ARE)-reporter gene activity, as well as nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (NrF2) expression.2
What do these chemical entities mean for skin care—plenty of benefits.
Anti-inflammatory/Antioxidant
According to an article featured in the Journal of Young Pharmacists, gingerol, shogaol and paradols isolated from Zingiber officinale show antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In fact, this study demonstrated that nano-encapsulated ingestible red ginger imparted anti-cellulite effects due to its ability to inhibit reactive oxygen species (ROS). Previous researchers identified that red ginger acts by decreasing lipid peroxidation through the activation of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase in a manner comparable to vitamin C.4
In relation, a recent patent application describes a combination of Zingiber officinale and bisabolol to synergistically reduce skin irritation, inflammation, heat/discomfort and redness. The compounds are reported to reduce inflammatory mediators including interleukins and prostaglandins.5
Photodamage Protection and Anti-aging
Taking antioxidant activity a step further, a study published in Biochemical Pharmacology highlighted the sun-protection activity specific to ginger's zerumbone content.6 Zerumbone, a sesquiterpene found in ginger,7 was found in vitro to be capable of protecting against UVA-irradiated damage, including photo-aging and skin cancer, by inducing Nrf2.
Furthermore, UVA-induced excessive ROS production, DNA single-strand breaks, apoptotic DNA fragmentation and more were reversed by the application of zerumbone to keratinocytes, suggesting zerumbone could be used to treat or prevent UVA-induced skin damage and photoaging.
Also focused on anti-aging effects, one patent application described extracts of ginger root as demonstrating both antioxidant and anti-aging benefits, specifically for the improvement of wrinkles by inhibiting elastase activity.8
New work published in the International Journal of Molecular Science demonstrates how zerumbone, a sesquiterpene found in the tropical ginger Zingiber officinale Roscoe, reduces melanin accumulation. While this active also has shown anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antimicrobial and anti-cancer properties, it had not been previously studied for anti-melanogenic effects. The results suggested that zerumbone, as well as Zingiber officinale Roscoe extract in general, could serve as an active ingredient in skin-whitening cosmetics.7
Stimulatory Action
Finally, ginger is perhaps best known for its stimulant activity. Applying a ginger tincture, juice and/or extract to the hair and scalp is a well-known practice to enhance microcirculation and prevent hair loss or stimulate hair growth.8
Furthermore, in the Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, it helps move body fluids by stimulating blood circulation throughout the body via a powerful stimulatory effect on the heart muscle, as well as by diluting the blood. This improved circulation is believed to increase cellular metabolic activity for numerous body functions, including those carried out by the skin.9
In the Spa
Ginger is a popular ingredient in spas around the world, with offerings ranging from exfoliation to massage and healthy spa drinks.
Zen Spa in San Juan, Puerto Rico taps into the anti-aging and detoxifying benefits of ginger in its Ginger Wasabi Body Wrap (45 min., $95) The wrap is rich in antioxidants from ginger root and detoxifying effects of wasabi ginger root. It is said to stimulate natural cleansing of the body, nourish skin cells and balance overall wellbeing.
For the ingredient's exfoliating benefits, The Spa At the Four Seasons Westlake Village (Westlake Village, California) offers a Ginger Lime Sugar Glow (50 min., $185) where dead skin cells are first removed with a mild exfoliating combination of sugar cane infused with ginger. The skin is then cleansed with a healing kombucha body wash and warm coconut and argan massage oil are then applied.
Also for exfoliation, ginger is utilized in Body Blitz Spa's (Toronto) Sweet Ginger + Milk Body Glow (60 min., $175). After a body wash, a body scrub of sugar, ginger, cardamom and argan oil is applied to slough away dry and dull skin. After the body is rinsed, a warm milk blend followed by a grape seed oil is massaged into the skin.
For a massage with ginger, look no further than the Melt Spa by Hershey (Hershey, Pennsylvania). Its seasonal Pumpkin Spice Massage (50/80 min., M-Th $95/145, F-Su $105/155) uses its exclusive blend of pumpkin seed oil, sunflower, apricot, sesame, and jojoba oils, with pure organic nutmeg, orange, clove, cinnamon, ginger and cardamon essential oils for a Swedish massage.
For better circulation, CryoSpa in Southampton, Pennsylvania offers a Ginger Compress Massage (60 min.) as a seasonal offering where towels soaked in hot water and freshly grated ginger are applied to troublesome areas and gently warmed to improve circulation and help to fight cold, mucus formation, joint pain, or any other stagnation in the circulatory system. The towels are then followed by a 30-minute accupressure massage to enhance life energy, support your immune system and boost organ vitality.
Similarly, The Spa at the Estancia in La Jolla California uses ginger essential oil to improve circulation in its Slow Beauty Wrap and Gommage (50/100 min, $180/340. The treatment starts with a white sand and volcanic sand exfoliation, while avocado and shea butter moisturize and protect. It is then that ginger is applied to boost circulation.
Ginger is combined with peach at The Spa at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis in its Ginger Peach Jubilee ($275/Half-Day). The service includes an Anti-Oxidant Peach Facial, Ginger Body Ritual and Ginger-Peach Manicure and Pedicure with a cup of ginger peach tea.
Finally, if you are looking to bring the nutritional benefits of ginger into your spa, consider the Lemongrass and Ginger Spa Water recipe shared by Complexions Spa (Albany and Saratoga Springs, New York). After 5 quarts of water is boiled for five minutes, two cups of lemongrass and one cup of sliced ginger is added. The water is cooled and then refridgerated, and the ginger in it is said to offer anti-nausea, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits to the body.
Of course, all of the above ginger treatments would not be possible if professional spa product manufacturers did not recognize the benefits of ginger.
KM Herbals has dedicated an entire line of bath and body products to its Warming Ginger Aromatherapy Blend, which is a combination of ginger, nutmeg, sweet orange, clove bud and cinnamon leaf. This blend is formulated into all products in The Warming Ginger Body Collection, which includes: a body polish, hand and body lotion, bath salts and foot lotion. The blend is said to brighten and rejuvenate dull skin to improve tone and texture.
Rhonda Allison taps the healing and protecting properties of both Zingiber officinale and Hedychium coronarium (white ginger) for many of its products, such as its cleansers, toners, calming gels and sun protection formulas.
"Ginger is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. These properties make it a wonderful wintertime ingredient, as it helps keep skin nourished and irritations at bay," explained Shannon Esau, CEO and director of education for Rhonda Allison.
Kerstin Florian's Organic Ginger Bath & Body Oil combines ginger, coriander and plai essential oils to energize and invigorate the senses while moisturizing and nourishing the skin. Zingiber officinale contributes analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic benefits to help soothe and ease muscle aches and pains while it relieves fatigue. Zingiber cassumunar Roxb (plai) is ginger from Thailand that helps not only combat joint and muscle problems, but it also helps relieve chronic colds and respiratory conditions.
Science is revealing the depths and complexities of traditional medicine. As such, product developers are embracing these tenets with new confidence, which present as new products on your backbar shelf.

Thames Water unveils historic picture archive
Thames Water has revealed an archive of almost 20,000 images, which chart the development of London's water supply and sewer network in the 19th and 20th centuries.
The archive has been created in partnership with the City of London Corporation and the images are now stored at London Metropolitan Archives in Farringdon, alongside Thames Water's extensive collections from London's former water companies.
As part of the project, staff at London Metropolitan Archives repackaged thousands of lantern slides, glass plates and photographic negatives dating back to the 1880s.
The images were ordered and repackaged to professional archival standards which will help preserve them for generations to come.
A total of 19,579 glass slides and transparencies were catalogued in acid-free photon envelopes and boxes to help protect these fragile formats from damage.
They include images of the sewer network during construction, engineers called "flushers" descending in to drains and a boat known as a "sludge vessel" which collected and disposed of waste, as well as "Don't Waste Water" posters from the former Metropolitan Water Board, predecessor to Thames Water.
Many of the images were also digitised by an external contractor and are now available to view online.
They show the development of London's reservoirs in the Lea Valley and west London, historic maps of Clerkenwell showing the location of New River Head, the former offices of Thames Water, tree trunks which were hollowed out and fit together to create pipes to supply water, a navvy foreman from Chingford, members of the Metropolitan Water Board's Fire Service and a young boy with a 23lb pike caught at Stoke Newington reservoir in 1928.
"These images offer a fascinating insight in to how the water industry worked more than 100 years ago," said Thames Water's corporate responsibility manager, Rosemary Waugh.
"They show how the industry has changed but also that we share a lot of the same challenges and methods today.
"We're delighted that, by working with the City of London Corporation, we've been able to preserve these pictures for future generations to enjoy."
The chairman of the City of London Corporation's culture, heritage and libraries committee, Graham Packham, added: "Our partnership with Thames Water has enabled these unique photographic images, dating from the 1880s to the 1970s, to be preserved at London Metropolitan Archives and made accessible online for future generations.
"Not only do they chart the development of London's clean water supply from the New River built in the 17th century, these remarkable images also capture the personalities of the people who worked on the network."

The train thundered into the station in clouds of steam. "Quick!" said my father, "Grab the bags and run—we have five minutes to catch our connecting train!" "All change!" shouted the guard. We ran up steps, across the bridge that spanned the rails, and down the other side to another platform, with hearts hammering. "All change!" cried out another guard. As a child, it felt as though everyone was shouting at me to change trains. I dreaded the words "All change!", as I connected them with the fear of missing the train and being left abandoned on the platform.
God understands our human frailty. He has other ideas about the changes in our lives. He directs us to change, as we read in the title scripture. God wants us to adopt the innocence of children, to have pure and trusting hearts. This is a radical change from our natural way of independence and selfishness. We must trust our great God and look to Him for strength of character, love and humility—becoming more and more like Jesus Christ.
Take heart, because the Holy Spirit will give us the power to change. Take courage from the scriptures. Read 1 Corinthians 15:51-53, "Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality." The most wonderful change of all will be when we are changed by God into immortal beings…but will the changes stop there I wonder? God knows—He really does!
Father in heaven, thank you so much for the exciting role you have given us as your children. Help us to do our part—to change daily, becoming more like you.
