The Pye P75 is a five valve (including the rectifier) 3-band table set in a wooden cabinet and working from AC mains. The short range is 16.3-51.8 metres. The valves used are:- ECH42 - EF41 - EBC41 - EL41 and EZ41. the cost in 1953 was �15-02-1d plus Purchase Tax.
Made during WW2 for factory workers possibly at Chelmsford and assembled from a National HRO chassis. The tuning gearbox and chassis is black indicating an early HRO, also the crystal section and I.F. coils are original. Instead of a plug in coil section a permanent set of coils has been installed behind a blank panel, a wave change switch is included for Long and Medium wave only. The set might have been made by an employee of Marconi as there is no Manufacturers mark although the set is professionally made, only a large 'M' across the speaker. It was donated to the Museum with verbal provenance relating to its origin. No other information is known.
The Roberts Model R66 has a Ferrite rod internal aerial and is a 2 band 4 valve portable which can be operated from All Dry batteries or AC mains. Wavebands covered are 182-580 Meters and 900-2000 Metres. In April 1956 it cost �13-19-6d Batteries and Purchase Tax Extra.
Ever Ready made portable wirelesses until 1968 when they reverted to making batteries only, this model was made in July 1956. Using a ferrite rod internal aerial, a 2 band All Dry battery portable with 4 valves, the wavebands are 192-550 Metres and 1040-1765 metres. The valves used were:- DK96 - DF96 - DAF96 and DL96. Cost in 1956 was �10-10s Batteries and Purchase Tax extra.
Philco portable mains battery valve Radio of 1956, has a plastic case with a torch embedded in the tuning knob on the side. The sales literature states ''Powerful built in torch. 3 Bands Long Medium and Maritime. Choice of four colours. AC/DC Mains operation. Cost in 1956 18 Gns Tax Paid''.

The British Broadcasting Company Ltd was a British commercial company formed on 18 October 1922 by British and American electrical companies doing business in the United Kingdom and licensed by the British General Post Office.
On 31 December 1926, the company was dissolved and its assets were transferred to the non-commercial and Crown Chartered British Broadcasting Corporation.
The BBC had to be paid for by public subscription ie listeners were required an annual licence.
All manufactures were legally bound to obtain a licence from the Post Master General, before producing their Wireless Sets.
The licence shown was issued to Thomas George Morris Asquith 93 Vale of Heath Road, Port Tenarth, on the 15 of January 1930, Cost 10 Shillings.
"Commemorate your association with "His Masters Voice" during Coronation Year".
Portable receiver of unknown make marked BCM/CWC, built on a wooden board and hand wired known as breadboard construction, although portable it required three batteries HT, LT, and Grid Bias, with a good aerial and earth.
Breadboard wireless with 2 valves, it requires headphones or High Impedance speaker for listening and three batteries, it would also require at least one hundred feet of aerial and a good earth.
Supplied as a kit, complete with instruction book and original receipt.
Two valve TRF receiver made by the Brandes Corporation in Canada 1924, similar sets were made in Slough England, and a later model the 3A was launched around 1929 with 3 valves.
The set requires 3 Batteries and listening is done via headphones of which the Brandes version are shown, the headband is missing.
No more is known about these sets.
Only 40,000 "Masterpiece" wireless sets were made and were given away free in exchange for coupons from packets of cigarettes in 1930.
The cigarettes in question were "Best Dark Virginia", and in order to qualify for a free radio, it was necessary to spend over �12 which would have purchased 500 packets of ten.
At that time the price of receivers was very high, because of a protection scheme run by a cartel of British manufacturers.
The valves that were used had to be British, and the royalties had to be paid to the Marconi Company and the BBC.
The sale of cheap foreign imports was banned but giving them away "free" wasn't, so this loophole was exploited in order to sell more cigarettes.
The receivers were made by KB but cheap imported valves were supplied by the tobacco company.
The KB shown here is one of the earliest Bakelite-cased models and is an extremely neat design using a TRF circuit around a couple of 2-volt valves. The lid which carries the loudspeaker hinges up to reveal the tuning and reaction controls.
Unfortunately although the receiver is very small, the batteries were standard and had to be employed externally to the set.
This changed the neat receiver into a bit of a messy affair with its trailing leads and collection of batteries.
Kolster Brands FB10, was known as The Toaster Radio, two versions were made AM and FM types, both 5-valves including the rectifier. This version (AM) is a 2-band Superhet using an internal aerial, both powered by AC mains and an auto transformer is used to reduce the problem of heat inside the case. The valves used in the AM model are:- 6BE6 - 6BA6 - 6AT6 - 6V6GT and 6X5GT. In September 1950 it cost �8-17s-1d.
Although appearing complete the tube is a later radar type and the scan coils are missing. Housed in a wooden cabinet it has 17 valves and a 5-inch CRT (Cathode Ray Tube). The TV section is single band only whilst the radio has LW MW and a short wave on the 16.5-52m band, the set operated from AC mains. In 1939 only one BBC channel was transmitted this being limited to just a few hours each day, therefore a wireless section was added to improve sales. Made in 1938 this set when purchased cost in January 1939. �30-09-00d.
The Pye LV30C single channel Television (BBC only). Housed in a wooden cabinet and having 14 Mullard valves and a 9-inch CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) working from AC mains only requiring 50 c/s to receive the transmission correctly. A series of sets were produced known as BV30 and BV51 models, required for reception in the Birmingham area. First sold in June 1950 for �38.11s.8d PT extra.
The Microvision TV1B was launched in the autumn of 1978, it was 4 inch x 6 inch and 1.5 inch high. Its predecessor the TV1A sold for around �230.00, it weighed 26 oz; this made it ounce for ounce more expensive than Silver. The picture could be viewed from a foot away. Functioning on VHF and UHF bands, it was the world�s first multi-standard receiver.
Small Television screen magnifier. This was filled with liquid and strapped onto the television to magnify the size of the picture, it did however create some distortion. Many visitors to the museum remember using one of these.
A small Television screen magnifier, this one is tinted pink. It was filled with liquid and strapped onto the television to magnify the size of the picture, this would cause some distortion.
The Bush DAC90 is built in a Bakelite case using an internal round coil as an aerial, there is no socket on the rear for an external aerial, the sensitivity of this set makes this arrangement very effective. Not so well known as the DAC90A (item A1010) it is a 5-valve including the rectifier 2-band Superhet working from AC mains. The DAC90A was a complete redevelopment of this model. The valves used in the DAC90 are:- CCH35 - EF39 - EBC88 - CL33 and CY31.The DAC90 cost �11 gns in July 1946 and was replaced by the DAC90A in Feb 1950. A Cream Bakelite version was available at Extra cost.
Available also with a cream cabinet it is a 5-valve including the rectifier 2-band Superhet working from AC mains. The wave-band ranges are 187-550m and 1,070-1,900m. Valves used are:- UCH42 - UF41 - UBC41 - UL41 and UY41. This was one of the most popular sets ever made, and is still in use today.
They are often seen at fairs. It replaced (and not to be confused with) the DAC90 (item A0148). In Feb 1950 the DAC90A Cost �12-1s-8d plus a premium for the cream version, purchase tax extra.
This is the version that superseded the DAC90 (item A0148), which has an expanded metal grille, and with the same valve line up but without the internal frame Arial, (Required an external Arial) also it has a cream plastic speaker grill. The cost in May 1947 was �17-17-03d including Purchase tax.
The Bush VHF90 has only Medium Wave and VHF FM Bands and has internal aerials for AM and FM, with an external VHF Arial connection. Housed in a plastic cabinet these sets were AC/DC meaning, there is no transformer inside, therefore no isolation from the mains, it also has an aluminium chassis making it lighter but more expensive, (most chassis for sets of this type are made of steel). It had seven valves including the rectifier these were:- UCC85 - UCH81 - UF89 - UF89 - UABC80 - UL84 and UY85. A VHF90C version was also produced, with the only difference being an AM Arial connection on the rear. In July 1956 it cost �16-12s-08d Purchase tax extra.
Donated by Mr Edward Allner and given to her by the British Wireless for the Blind Fund.
Usually found in Garages or Cycle shops for charging Wireless Accumulators. Supplying 20 Volts, it can charge 10 X Accumulators at one time. Davenset Chargers are still made today.
All the museum trutees can remember their parents taking an Accumulator to be re-charged.
This is the BTH Type 'C' Form 'A' twin detector crystal set manufactured by British Thomson Houston Ltd. in 1924. It bears the BBC/Post Master General stamp marked with the GPO Reg. No. 106.* The lid carries the instructions for use. The date of manufacture is printed in the lower left corner of the instruction card. This crystal set was manufactured by BTH from 1922 through to 1925.
*All manufactures were legally bound to obtain a licence from the Post Master General, before producing their Wireless Sets.
The set is housed in a walnut cabinet and features variometer tuning, twin cats whisker detectors and selectable aerial coupling.
Known as the 'Brown Microphone Amplifier' it was initially designed to amplify telephone signals,although called a microphone amplifier it is not used with a microphone, this refers to the working mechanism which is purely mechanicle. In the 1920's a license was required for valve equipment, this unit cost half the fee. A wireless set or crystal receiver could be connected to these units and enough power could be produced to enhance the sound considerably. With a six volt battery to power the unit it would consume less power than an equivelent two valve system. In 1924 this model for valve sets cost �5.5s.0d.
Sold as a kit using the trade name GECophone in 1929, it has a metal chssis and front panel with oak end panels and lift up lid. It is a battery set and has 3 valves. There are two waveband coils six condensors, an L.F. transformer and little else. Requiring headphones aerial and earth.
Many small companies sprung up in the 1920's making wireless sets for sale. These unfortunately soon suffered from the large companies going into mass production and flooding the market. This receiver has six valves four of which are RF amplifiers, Long Medium and Short wave making it ambitious, as Superhetrodynes had not yet become widely available,so much amplification must have produced a lot of unwanted noise. A label on the set says Made by J.Karslake & Son 264 High street, opposite the Post Office. Exeter 2510.
The cans are copper and the coils plug into standard B4 valve sockets.
The covers were vital for a stable receiver so that there was no unwanted coupling between the amplifying stages.
Many houses in built up areas did not have gardens large enough to acommodate an aerial, (flats had no gardens) so an aerial for a receiver was a problem. The frame aerial provided some help, mounted on the top of the set, it could provide some signal strength, but not as good as an outdoor aerial.
The item shown is a single valve receiver made by GEC using a HE3 Valve.
Advertized in Exchange and Mart and other periodicals, and aimed at young enthusiasts. Museum staff remember listening to radio Luxemburg on these sets in the 50's and 60'S.
Radio Luxembourg was a Long Wave commercial radio station that began broadcasting from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in 1933.
The Marconiphone P20B is housed a small jewellery type case with a sprung held lid and with an internal aerial. It used miniature parts throughout and is powered from a HT and LT battery combined in one unit. The valves used are:- X17 - W17 - ZD17 and N17.In December 1948 the P20B cost �11.19s. 6d, plus Purchase Tax.
Seven Transistor Miniature Pocket Radio, popular in the 1960's.
This really is very small and does fit into a pocket quite easily, compared to the Selecta Portable item A0147 40 years earlier, things had come a long way.
Made by the Marconiphone Company and also supplied by Ever Ready who had developed a small battery incorporating HT and LT sections specifically for sets like this. The set weighed just 3lb-10oz's and was advertised as a handbag portable wireless. It is a single band Superhet using four miniature valves and having a switched sprung loaded lid. The valves used are:- X17 - W17 - ZD17 and N17. In June 1947, it cost 10 Gns.
Large early portable receiver, made in 1929, with four valves and space for HT Battery and LT accumulator.Required a good aerial and earth, a hand written list inside the front doors gives all the control settings for various stations. Tuning was accomplished by plain amplification T.R.F. (Tuned Radio Frequency). In 1929 it cost �33.12s.0d. On the inside back panel is a meter to indicate the charge state of the accumulator. Also available as a suit case portable, and a mains version.
"Complete with Semi-Opal Protected Detector, D.L.5 Crystal and "Pallmadium" Cats whisker".
It sold for 10/6 (10 shillings and six pre-decimal pence), or 52.5 pence in today's terms, This price was very competitive, cheap alongside other models of the time, which might have cost in the region of �1 to �5.
Made around 1968 and costing �2-10s-00d, this is really tiny and was announced as the world smallest Radio, it has two dials and a crystal earpeice in a plastic case.
This set is similar to the Marconiphone P60B and is a 2-band (MW and LW) portable Superhet set which could be housed in a grey or cream plastic case, using an internal ferrite rod Arial and a printed circuit board, with three valves and two transistors in the output stage to reduce power consumption. Models 1410B came in blue and 1410G came in a grey case. The valves used are:- DK96 - DF96 and DAF96, plus two Germanium PNP transistors.
Wood Cased Wireless with rotating needle dial, Mains only, Made by the Hale Electric Company Ltd The Etronic ETA 521 Is a 2-band MW and LW Superhet powered by 200-250v AC mains receiver mounted in a wooden case and using 5 valves namely 6K8G - 6U7G - 6V6G AND 6X5GT. Purchase price not found.
Made during WW2 and tuned to German local frequencies only. Known as 'Die Goebbelsschnauze' ( The Goebbels Gob ) This is the Deutscher Kleinempf�nger DKE38 made by G. Schaub in Germany around 1938. It is has 1 valve (plus rectifier) and is a mains TRF receiver housed in a brown bakelite cabinet.
its design is simple and whilst it would have been adequate for receiving strong local stations, it would have required a good aerial. Many of the parts used in this set are marked with the German eagle.
This is a domestic receiver of 1968 receiving AM and FM with 6 bands, fully transistorised and used by wireless amateurs in the early 1970,s operating from battery or mains. It used Germanium transistors which suffer badly with age, it is unlikely that any of these sets will still work without major repair. the ranges were 88-108 FM, AM 8.5-22MHz, 3.5-8.5MHz, 1.5-3.5MHz, 550-1500Khz, 150-350Khz.
Desk top Receiver in metal case. Designed as a communication set for wireless amateurs. In 1947 this would have cost �42.00 A 3 band general coverage set HF 1.7-31MHz.Using an EF39 in the RF stage.
Made in 1949 with 5-valves including the rectifier, a three band Superhet, short, Long and Medium wave. Mains only operation, and requiring an external Aerial and Earth connection. Switch-able tone control and four separate glass scales with cursor, one for each band, individually illuminated when chosen. Sockets at the rear are provided for a gramophone pick up and an extension loudspeaker. The valves used are:- TH41 - VP41 - HL41DD - PEN45 and UU6. In January 1949 the Murphy A122M cost �22.00 Purchase Tax extra.
This early Car Radio would be slung under the parcel shelf with an external loudspeaker mounted either in a separate box or in the back parcel shelf. The power unit (missing) was bulky and noisy, so it was either under the bonnet or in the boot of the car.
Model CN430 "Lady Anne" used a new range of low power valves had 2-bands MW and LW and was housed in a small wooden box with a hinged lid. It could be powered from AC mains or a small combined "All Dry" HT and LT battery. The valves were:- DK96 - DF96 - DAF96 and DL96.
Vidor "Lady Margaret" model CN429 is a four valve 2-band Superhet personnel portable in a wooden case working from an "All Dry" Battery only. Its Lid has a switch which turns on the radio when opened. The valves used are:- DK96 - DF96 - DAF96 and DL96. This is the battery only version of Accession No1034.The 'My Lady Anne' portable. In June 1954 this cost �9-2s-10d PT Extra.
Supplied by Philips Lamp Co in August 1938. Made by Mullard as Model MAS24.
The wooden cabinet in dark wood stain is in almost perfect condition. With square dial and revolving needle tuning, this is directly controlled by eight buttons each can be tuned to a selected station individually. A special type of tuning condenser is used for this designed by Philips and known as a "Beehive" tuner (see item A0745). The valve used are:- EF8 - EK2 - EF9 - EBL2 and A21, also a tuning indicator EM1. Purchase price not found.
Frame Aerial used with early Wireless sets when a long Aerial in the garden was not possible.
Ediswan Compactum. Supplied in the 1920's as a kit costing �4 or complete and tested for �11- 11s. Required a HT and LT batteries with a good aerial and earth. Listening was by headphones. The receiver could be worked with any triode valve of the period, dull or bright emitter type.
Internally a high resistance coil with a permanent magnet through it was used to move an iron reed, attached to a rod on which was placed the paper cone. An Adjustment was provided for maximum efficiency. This method did not require a strong magnet to operate, and the quality was inferior to modern loudspeakers which use the moving coil principal.
Extension Loudspeaker for transferring the wireless to other rooms, with fret cut out to the shape of 'The Thinker' sculpture.
On the the rear view can be seen the adjustment control for the Moving Iron Loudspeaker, it was necessary to occasional correct the clearance of the reed or armature, to keep the unit working properly if this was not done loud volumes would cause thumping or sticking, the unit needed to be able to give good sensitivity for all volume levels.
Extension Loudspeaker for transferring the wireless to other rooms, with fret cut out to the shape of a Stag.
Designed to replace Headphones on early Wireless sets, before loudspeakers had been perfected because of problems with a strong enough magnet.
The coil is a high enough impedance to connect directly to the output valve of the set. The terminals on the units would carry high voltages, and yet no insulation was thought necessary.
A selection of loudspeaker horns from the 1920's and a Bakelite Philips Loudspeaker from the 1930's.
The Revophone Crystal Set 1923 Cost �2-10s Royalty was extra at 7s-6d. Its wooden box with hinged lid is in excellent condition, inside are two knobs and the crystal holder.
Midget radios became popular in America between the wars as new smaller valves were being developed, this is just one example made in 1939 it has 4 valves including the mains rectifier, and a simple TRF circuit design.
2 valve reflex circuit, manufactured between 1922 and 1926. Original cost �22.8s.0d reducing to �15.16s.2d in 1925, and to �8.0s.0d in 1926.
The McMichael Mains Three of 1931 was a three valve TRF receiver that was built like a Tank, with a metal back and no expense spared on its construction. In 1931 it cost 20Gns. Valves and Royalty's included.
The Mains Three is what is known as a 'landmark set', i.e. it introduced a significant or interesting feature into radio design. In this case, it was the first radio to have a dial calibrated directly in wavelength (metres) - up until then dials/knobs were 0-100 with a look-up table.
Thanks to (www.McMichael.org.uk) David Cochrane.
Their sets were very solidly engineered, and made to a high standard. The company went to a lot of trouble promoting the radios. Publicity was helped by demonstrations of their sets' abilities to receive on trains and aeroplanes. These tests were probably less severe than the public imagined, but they were good publicity stunts.
Their sets were sold mainly by accredited dealers, who were urged on by an in-house magazine called the McMichael Messenger, which featured dealers from around the country. The 135 console is a five valve including the rectifier Superhet for use on AC mains. The valves used are:- AC/TP - MVPS - PEN-DD4 and 442BU.
Printed on the front of the set is the PO licence number.

Berlinale: Are You Here
Events, Features, Film, Review | by Loose Lips — February 14, 2015
Tags: 65th Berlinale, Amy Poehler, Are You Here, Berlin Film Festival, Berlinale, Berlinale 2015, Laura Ramsey, Mad Men, Matthew Weiner, Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis
Directed by Matthew Weiner
Starring Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis, Amy Poehler and Laura Ramsey
by Joanna Orland
To go from creating highly acclaimed TV series Mad Men to producing such big screen trite as Are You Here, Matthew Weiner reinforces the power of television as a more relevant medium for drama.
For his first attempt at film-making, television creator Weiner has chosen dramedy Are You Here starring some of today's great comedians Amy Poehler, Zach Galifianakis, and Owen Wilson in the lead role. The film is about friendship and family, and two men who struggle to grow up into the adults they're long overdue to become. The film starts off as a stoner buddy comedy, with Galifianakis and Wilson being as charming and quirky as ever. The film then gets serious. About as successfully serious as the failed family drama This Is Where I Leave You of which this film is reminiscent.
Are You Here is a mess tonally, surprisingly so from the creator of Mad Men, a show whose tone is the best thing about it. The comedy falls flat although Galifianakis and Wilson are funny performers, and the drama is full of self-righteous pretentiousness. While Wilson and Galifianakis have some funny moments, Poehler is completely underused. She has no comedy in her role and her dramatic moments are as fruitless as her character's womb.
With a running time of two hours, this film never puts a foot right. It has no substance and very little charm, even with notorious charmer Owen Wilson in the lead. In fact, Wilson and Galifianakis are better than the material they are given. If Are You Here followed the comedic tone it began with, perhaps these performances could have salvaged something of Weiner's lacklustre ideas. The examinations of friendship and family pale in comparison to Mad Men's exploration of the complexities of human behaviour, and if it wasn't the same genius behind such a show who was at the helm of this, I would have given up fifteen minutes in, which I probably should have anyway.
Weiner wrote the script for Are You Here ten years ago, before he made Mad Men. Since the days of Mad Men, he obviously has grown as a creative voice, producing very meaningful work that has affected the populous, firmly establishing itself as an icon in pop culture. As a creative, Weiner should have looked forward and evolved his work rather than look back to before he found his success. This vanity project could hinder his chances of a film career post Mad Men, but perhaps that is for the best if this is the work he feels speaks for him.
Or maybe it's not Are You Here setting Weiner creatively back to before he found success – Perhaps Mad Men was a fluke. I've often struggled with the show, dipping in and out of watching it, finally giving up when it failed to keep my attention yet again for the umpteenth time. But with Mad Men, I respect it as a creative work. The tone, the performances, the character studies are often brilliant. Are You Here has none of that, and no redeeming qualities. Weiner has clearly exhausted his character development skills with Mad Men and left nothing for Are You Here, a film better left unseen in order to keep intact Matthew Weiner's stance as creative 'genius'.

I'd say that warsaw is a really good school for any that want to get into a kinda liberal arts scool. My favorite year would honestly would have to be freshmen. Less stressful. But watching yourself invlove from freshmen to senior is really something. I enjoyed all my teachers. However they'll only help you if you ask!
Sports, academics, safety and all is high up there.
Junior: Lakeview was a great transition from elementary school to high school and really allowed students to test their waters. I had a lot of fun here as the teachers are very laid back and wanting to have a good time with the students. Because of this the staff and student body have a real relaxed environment.

Just because you order or pour a single drink, it doesn't mean you are automatically in the clear. In order to know how much alcohol is consumed, you need to measure how many "standard drinks," or servings of alcohol, are in your drink. A single serving of alcohol can be found in a 12-ounce bottle or can of beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine, or a 1.5-ounce shot of 80 proof liquor.
If a mixed drink contains shots of several different types of alcohol, the number of servings of alcohol depends on the total ounces of liquor added to the drink. A single 12-ounce Long Island Iced Tea, for example, may contain up to 2 servings of alcohol or more, depending on the recipe.
Welcome to the JustOne.Life campaign page.
The JustOne.Life campaign is HEAPC's media campaign addressing underage drinking and the consequences of alcohol abuse, especially among adolescents.
The campaign was launched in 2014 with the 229 Choices event which was held at Main Street Square on May 16. At the time of the event, there were 229 days remaining in the year, and the name 229 Choices was chosen to promote for the youth in attendance that they had 229 chances for the rest of the year to make the right choice and not use alcohol.
At this event, which was a fun outdoor concert with popular performers, youth were presented with alcohol information, as well as the opportunity to sign a pledge to remain alcohol free. 77 students signed the pledge.
In addition to 229 Choices, a number of radio public service announcements (PSAs) were produced for the campaign launch. The PSAs shared the message that "Just One" drink could have negative consequences or spiral out of control. These PSAs are available in our Media Center, if you'd like to check them out!
In the coming weeks and months, look for more campaign messages in the media. In the works are posters, radio PSAs, television PSAs, and more. All of the materials will also be posted here on our website. We will also be expanding the resources available on underage drinking here. We will be including statistics on youth and American Indian alcohol use, ways community members can get involved and help reduce substance abuse, and much more!

With a self build mortgage, money is released in stages as the build progresses. Some lenders will lend you money to purchase land - typically 75% of the purchase price or value (whichever is lowest).
After this, the money for the build is released in stages. These stages can be fixed or flexible, depending on the lender, but usually there are six (see table below).
There are two methods by which the money can be released during the build – at the end of each stage (known as arrears stage payments) or at the start of each stage (advance stage payments).
With the arrears stage payment method, money is released after a valuer has visited the site and confirmed completion of the stage. This can cause some self-builders cash flow difficulties.
The advance stage payment method works in the opposite way, with money released at the beginning of a given stage, before work starts. This method has become popular as it provides positive cash flow during the build, making it easier to stay in your current house while the build progresses.
The stages of a build depend on whether or not you are building a traditional (brick and block house), a timber frame construction or if you are renovating or converting an existing property.
The following table provides an indication of the typical stages:
Brick & Block
Renovation/Conversion
Purchase of land
Purchase of the property
Preliminary costs & foundations
Preliminary costs and structural overhaul
Wall plate level
Timber frame kit erected
Wind & watertight
Plastering & services

Is your crawl space in Crestwood IL, 60445 clammy, funky, moldy, or full with rodents? If you want to eradicate difficulties in your crawl space of your Crestwood home Concrete Crawlspaces and Basement Waterproofing Corp. is available to actually help. Just about all the dilemmas linked with crawl spaces are associated with two substantial unwanted issues. Moisture is the number-one affliction associated with a crawl space in Crestwood. When the water level goes up and there is an unfinished layer beneath the residence the water essentially gets inside the residence. When the water dwells it forms mold and mildew. The water will rot the flooring and give insects a great place to spawn. The next notable problem is a insulation on the floor. Plastic material all by itself is not a remedy to water, radon, rodents, or mold. Concrete Crawlspaces and Basement Waterproofing has a system that will establish a valid vapor barrier and shield against other infestations. A suitable redirection system, a significant vapor barrier, drainage board, and concrete are the only way. This is how basements are assembled. Why would you not do your crawl space the same way?
Are the foundation walls in your Crestwood home seeping from crevices? Concrete Crawlspaces and Basement Waterproofing is a full service foundation refinishing business! This suggests it does not matter what the hindrance is in your Crestwood basement or crawl space we have a plan. We know Crestwood residents want a business they can rely on to get the project done correctly the first try. That is why Concrete Crawlspaces and Basement Waterproofing offer a Lifetime Transferable Warranty on our work performed. We are confident we will get the job done perfect the very first instance we do it and if we don't we fix it at zero cost to you. If you will need foundation fixing make contact with us!
There is one and only one right way to forever deal with problems in crawl spaces. Our techniques have proven to last the life of the property. We have devoted a great number of hours to the study of building development and have taken our education of foundations to build the one and only Concrete Crawlspaces solution. Our method has been imitated but never has been duplicated. If your Crestwood house has any of these problems or you just want the security of an inspection please give us a call or simply request a free estimate online!

For the tribe of the people of Reuben by fathers' houses and the tribe of the people of Gad by their fathers' houses have received their inheritance, and also the half-tribe of Manasseh.
And Moses gave to them, to the people of Gad and to the people of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land and its cities with their territories, the cities of the land throughout the country.
Joshua 14:2-3
Their inheritance was by lot, just as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses for the nine and one-half tribes. For Moses had given an inheritance to the two and one-half tribes beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.
Joshua 13:8-12
With the other half of the tribe of Manasseh the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord gave them: from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the tableland of Medeba as far as Dibon; and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the boundary of the Ammonites; and Gilead, and the region of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah; all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he alone was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); these Moses had struck and driven out.
"When we took possession of this land at that time, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites the territory beginning at Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead with its cities. The rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, that is, all the region of Argob, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (All that portion of Bashan is called the land of Rephaim. Jair the Manassite took all the region of Argob, that is, Bashan, as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called the villages after his own name, Havvoth-jair, as it is to this day.) To Machir I gave Gilead, and to the Reubenites and the Gadites I gave the territory from Gilead as far as the Valley of the Arnon, with the middle of the valley as a border, as far over as the river Jabbok, the border of the Ammonites;
But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord, and be sure your sin will find you out.


The crew of a Boeing 737, registered VH-TAH, reported that, on 15 May 2004, during the takeoff roll on runway 34 Left at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, they felt shuddering from the nose wheel. The crew of a subsequent landing aircraft reported debris on the runway. An inspection found tyre segments and pieces of aircraft structure. The 737 crew were notified and elected to return for a landing.
An investigation by the operator found that the 737 struck a Boeing 747 thrust reverser blocker door that had fallen from an aircraft that had previously used the runway. That door damaged the 737 nose landing gear tyre and gashed the aluminium skin of the fuselage. The investigation was unable to identify the 747 and whether the loss of the door occurred during take-off or landing.
This was the second reported occurrence of a blocker door falling from a 747 aircraft. At least two 747 operators (one Australian and one international) are known to have found that an earlier 747 blocker door modification had a deficient metal/composite bond. The Australian 747 operator has initiated a project to scope and implement a new modification program to repair or replace all blocker doors.

La música clásica otomana o música clásica turca () es un tipo de música desarrollada en la ciudad de Estambul y en otras importantes ciudades y pueblos otomanos a través de los palacios y las logias sufíes del Imperio otomano. La música otomana, basada principalmente en la voz, acompaña a un cantante solista con un pequeño conjunto instrumental. En los últimos años se han llegado a utilizar instrumentos como el tanbur, el ney, el kemenche y el qanun. A menudo descrita como música monofónica, por la variedad en la ornamentación y en el conjunto debe ser descrita de forma más precisa como música heterofónica.

Generalidades
La música otomana tiene un amplio y variado sistema de modos o escalas conocidas como makams, además de otras reglas de composición. Más de 600 makams se han utilizado hasta la actualidad. De estas, al menos 119 están definidas formalmente, pero en la actualidad solo se utilizan alrededor de veinte makams. En la enseñanza sufí, cada makam representa y transmite un estado psicológico y espiritual particular. A veces, en ciertos makams, los otomanos usaban diferentes piezas musicales instrumentales y vocales para curar ciertas afecciones médicas y psicológicas.

Se han utilizado varios sistemas de notación para transcribir música clásica, siendo la más usada la notación de Hamparsum hasta la introducción gradual de la notación occidental. Aunque las contribuciones no turcas a la música otomana han sido marginadas desde la disolución del Imperio Otomano, el sistema de notación de Hamparsum fue inventado por un armenio otomano llamado Hamparsum Limonciyan. El Hamparsum se convirtió en la base de la teoría de la música clásica otomana y también fue utilizado por la Iglesia apostólica armenia.

La música clásica turca se enseña en conservatorios y clubes sociales, siendo el más respetado el Üsküdar Musiki Cemiyeti de Estambul.

La secuencia específica de formas musicales turcas clásicas se denomina fasıl, y consta de: un preludio instrumental (peşrev), un postludio instrumental (saz semaisi) y en el medio, la sección principal de composiciones vocales (taksim). Un concierto completo incluye cuatro formas instrumentales diferentes y tres formas vocales, incluida una canción clásica ligera, denominada şarkı. Las composiciones más cortas de şarkı, precursoras de las canciones modernas, son parte de la tradición clásica otomana. Muchas de ellas son extremadamente antiguas y se remontan al siglo XIV. El compositor de finales del siglo XIX Haci Arif Bey es especialmente popular en este estilo musical. El compositor Cinuçen Tanrıkorur sostiene que las diferencias percibidas entre los géneros musicales tradicionales provienen del choque cultural entre oriente y occidente que surgió durante la era de Tanzîmat (1839-1908).

Instrumentos musicales

Los instrumentos más utilizados en la música clásica turca son el laúd tanbur, la flauta ney, el violín kemençe, el oud o laúd árabe y un instrumento de percusión llamado kudüm.

Formas
La música clásica otomana comprende muchas formas vocales e instrumentales, entre las que se encuentran las suites llamadas fasıl. Un fasıl típicamente incluye muchos movimientos instrumentales y/o vocales, como los  taksim, peşrev, şarkı, beste y kar, entre otros.

Géneros
La música otomana comprende varios géneros que incluyen la música espiritual, la improvisación (gazel, kaside, durak, entre otros) y el fasil.

Compositores y músicos
Nombres notables en la ejecución y composición de los géneros clásicos de la música otomana incluyen a Dede Efendi, Dimitrie Cantemir, Baba Hamparsum, Kemani Tatyos Efendi, el sultán Selim III y el sultán Suleiman el Magnífico. El cantante clásico turco moderno más popular es Münir Nurettin Selçuk, quien fue el primero en establecer una posición de cantante líder. Otros músicos importantes son Bekir Sıdkı Sezgin, Alaeddin Yavaşça, Müzeyyen Senar, Emel Sayın y Zekai Tunca. El cantante de pop Sinan Ozen grabó un álbum de música clásica otomana, demostrando que en la actualidad este tipo de música continúa vigente.

Rapid prototyping helps you make mistakes quickly and cheaply, before the investment of much time and money. As the great architect Frank Lloyd Wright said, "You can use an eraser on the drafting table or a sledgehammer on the construction site".
A build project can be daunting. Using prototypes during - or before - an agile development project can be your answer to getting everyone on board with the direction of the product – and ensure you will be spending budget on something that works for users.
Concepts never arrive fully-formed; that's why we advocate rapid iteration. We can test and make changes many times over without breaking the bank. This means you can oversee many concepts tested out and conclude with confidence which ones are going to work for your users. When you come to build it for real, the big questions will have been answered and the details can receive the focus they deserve.
We make prototypes from the lowest to the highest fidelity. They can be paper-based, basic greyscale wireframes, fully designed pages or even HTML and CSS code. Often you can rapidly user-test most of the system using paper alone, but wireframes are the most popular choice. We'll present some concepts to you, work them up into prototypes, and go out and test it with real users in the real context. This will fully demonstrate what works and what doesn't.
We love this part of the process because it is highly collaborative and can uncover solutions that simplify products before they are even built.


Teamsters Local 727 is a longtime Coli family business, a reality that Union Corruption Update explored at length in September 2015. And that business should be seen in the larger context of corruption at the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Back in March 1989 the IBT settled a civil RICO suit with the Justice Department. The feds had charged that the Teamsters for decades under a succession of general presidents operated as a racketeering enterprise, shot through with embezzlement, fraud, assault and murder, and with enforcement by mobsters. The agreement placed the Teamsters under strict court-approved federal monitoring, and three years later, established a three-person entity, the Independent Review Board (IRB), which would investigate allegations of corruption, issue rulings, and replace guilty officials. Under the microscope were various Teamster affiliates in the Chicago area. That included the Park Ridge, Ill.-based Teamsters Local 727, headed by John Coli Sr., who had inherited his job as secretary-treasurer from his brother, James, who had been removed from office by the feds in 1992. Their father, Eco James Coli, who had amassed an impressive arrest record in his younger days, headed the local until his death in 1982.
Sometime in late 2004 the FBI initiated an investigation of Teamsters Local 727. The action was based on allegations contained in a lengthy report on corruption within the entire union prepared by court-approved IBT ethics overseer Edwin Stier. The audit concluded that the local benefit plans had racked up grossly excessive administrative costs and diverted dental reimbursement funds to racketeering suspects. The FBI probe indirectly led to a private civil RICO suit in November 2011 against Coli, certain family members and the local itself. The plaintiff, SCI Illinois Services Inc., a provider of funeral services, alleged that officials of Local 727 created "a scheme to defraud and extort" money from SCI by wildly inflating the value of scheduled benefit contributions. The evidence looked convincing, but in January 2014 a federal judge dismissed the suit. In a separate case, a Cook County, Ill. judge in July 2015 ruled that Coli and Teamsters Local 700, of which Coli was a trustee, were jointly liable for $2.3 million for breaking the lease of an office building in suburban Des Plaines, Ill.
John Coli has been much more than a local boss. For more than 15 years he also served as president of Teamsters Joint Council 25, which represents more than two dozen Teamster affiliates (including Local 727) and more than 100,000 workers in metro Chicago and northwest Indiana. He also for a while was Teamsters international vice president for the Central Region. Coli owed his power in large measure to his cultivation of friends in high places including Teamsters International President James P. Hoffa, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, former Illinois Governor Pat Quinn and current Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner, the latter of whom in 2015 appointed Coli to the state's labor advisory board. Regardless of party, Coli had real political skills that served union interests. Candidates for public office in the Chicago area knew that a Teamsters endorsement could deliver victory. And the union paid him well; in 2014, Coli received around $347,000 in total compensation. Yet as much as such connections have helped him in the past, they are unlikely to save him this time around.
According to last week's indictment handed down by a Chicago federal grand jury, Coli used the threat of economic harm to extract quarterly payments of $25,000 from a local company, Cinespace Chicago Film Studios. Cinespace provided sites for the principal photography of a pair of hit NBC television shows, Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. During the Quinn administration, the company received five state grants totaling $27.3 million, including one for $10 million in December 2014, to buy seven industrial properties near its North Lawndale, Ill. campus. Not long after, in March 2015, the Chicago Sun Times reported that the property actually wasn't for sale. Cinespace, rather embarrassed, returned the grant, though it did keep the rest of the money. According to a reliable source, Coli "lobbied for all the state money to get Cinespace to build" in Chicago in the first place. The indictment also cited an unnamed enterprise affiliated with Cinespace whose employees are represented by Teamsters Local 727.
Specifically, prosecutors are alleging that Coli demanded and accepted cash payments from Cinespace totaling $100,000. Those payments were transacted on the following dates, listed with their corresponding sum: July 7, 2016 ($25,000); October 4, 2016 ($15,000); November 29, 2016 ($10,000); December 22, 2016 ($25,000); and April 4, 2017 ($25,000). If Cinespace failed to make quarterly payments of $25,000, noted the indictment, Coli threatened to create unspecified economic damage to the studio; evidence suggests this was a strike threat. From any camera angle, the payments looked like a shakedown.
The indictment effectively has ended John T. Coli's career as a union leader. He saw the handwriting on the wall. Even if he could beat the rap, he almost certainly would have to yield his Teamsters leadership following an IRB probe. The RICO oversight, though eventually in the process of being phased out as part of a January 2015 Teamsters-Justice Department agreement, remains in force. Governor Rauner already has indicated that he will remove Coli from the Illinois labor advisory board. Coli at least gave himself a nice bon voyage during his resignation announcement. "It is with tremendous reflection and a big heart that I announce my retirement from the Teamsters – the greatest union in the world," Coli said in a prepared statement. "After more than 40 years of membership and service to my fellow Teamsters, it's time to begin the next chapter." One hopes this chapter will feature better business practices.

France: Romanian caught trying to buy expensive perfume with false card blames poverty in Romania
de R.M. transl/adapt. C.B. HotNews.ro
Vineri, 4 iunie 2010, 15:55 English | Regional Europe
A Romanian citizen without a criminal record does not unusually risk time in jail when caught stealing. Except the case when he annoys the judges, Nord Eclaire website reads. The website comments the trial of a Romanian citizen caught paying with a false card for an expensive perfume.
25-year old Virgil Barbu was caught on June 1, in the Lafayette Galleries' scent department in Lille, when he was trying to pay for a 90 euro "eau de toilette", when the card was rejected.
The shop assistants informed the police. The authorities discovered the young man had three cards on him, all issued for Virgil Barbu. The bank cards were Carte Bleu, a debit card that works like a credit card, allowing transactions without authorisation from the bank.
Following investigations, it was proven that all cards were false. Virgil Barbu claimed, as translated by an interpreter, that he received the cards from a person who he did not know too well. "He told me I will have no problems with them", the accused tried to blame his pal.
"And you did not know that, by using this cards, another person will eventually pay for you?", the prosecutor asked. At this point, the uninspired young man blamed the poverty in Romania: "I earn 200 euros per month".
"You say you are poor, that you arrived here at the end of May and you buy a 90-euros perfume. It is a dire need when you are poor", judge Bernard Lemaire said.
Virgil Barbu then admitted that he was paid 50 euros per day to buy as many products as possible with false cards, which he later gave back to a crime gang. He claimed he did not know the members of the gang and that was the first time he was trying to steal.
But the magistrates learnt that the four cards found on the Romanian citizens had already been used in The Netherlands and in Thailand. "This kind of crook relies on the French justice and hopes he will immediately be released, while their crimes are elaborated and extremely technical. Not everyone can make false cards", the prosecutor accused.
Virgil Barbu was condemned to six months in jail.

DfE Guidance for full opening: schools states that all pupils in all years should return to school full time from September 2020, recognising this is vital for academic progress and student wellbeing. All state-funded schools are required to follow this published guidance and have statutory responsibilities to secure the attendance of pupils in full time education.
The Guidance specifically outlines attendance expectations; stating parents have a duty to ensure their child attends school regularly and schools have a duty to record attendance and follow up absence, including the appropriate use of available sanctions (in line with the Local Authority Code of Conduct). The guidance makes clear that shielding has paused and all, but a very small number of, children previously required to shield should return to school. If a child's health condition is such that they must continue to shield, this is confirmed by their GP or consultant.
Access to Remote Learning
With regard to the provision of remote education the Guidance is clear that where a child is unable to attend school because they are complying with clinical or public health advice the school is expected to offer that child access to remote education immediately and the absence will not be penalised. All other children must attend school.
KCSP recognises that consistency of approach is helpful for all schools and parents. The agreed position is that where there is an officially confirmed requirement for a child to shield or a child is self-isolating due to suspected Covid-19 (themselves, in their household or by order of the NHS test and trace / local health protection team) remote learning will be made available by our schools.
The provision of remote learning is not a requirement for those who do not fall into these categories including non Covid-19 related illness or absence. Remote learning is not an alternative to pupils' full-time attendance at school.
Principles of Remote Learning
KCSP recognises that there may be key differences between our schools when it comes to the delivery of remote learning to take account of the identified needs of the pupils in our schools and our respective infrastructure and resources.
The following principles for remote learning provision apply across all schools:
provision is available to the individual or group of pupil(s) from the first day (or as close to the first day as possible) that an approved Covid-19 reason for absence is reported;
provision offers curriculum continuity and enables pupils to continue in their class learning;
provision offers a blend of high quality online and offline resources;
provision ensures there is some opportunity to pupil(s) for teacher interaction, feedback and assessment;
individual schools will work directly with the families of SEND children unable to access remote education without adult support to ensure their access to a broad and ambitious curriculum;
pupils without online access will be provided with alternative resources to support the curriculum continuity in their curriculum learning.

On Sunday morning, Trump reignited the diplomatic spat with China when during an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday the President-elect said that his support for the "One China" policy which has underpinned U.S. behavior toward Taiwan since the 1970s, will hinge on cutting a better deal on trade, in other words it will be a "barter chip" to extract future concessions from Beijing.
"I fully understand the 'one China' policy, but I don't know why we have to be bound by a 'one China' policy unless we make a deal with China having to do with other things, including trade."
As the FT noted, Trump's remarks dramatically raised the stakes with Beijing just a week after he broke diplomatic precedent by accepting a phone call from Taiwan's leader, Tsai Ying-wen. Both incidents have tested the Chinese government's diplomatic patience.
Predictably, overnight China responded and expressed "serious concern" on Monday after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said the United States did not necessarily have to stick to its long-held stance that Taiwan is part of "one China", calling it the basis for relations. Beijing warned Donald Trump that the two countries will have "nothing to discuss" if the US president-elect's incoming administration decides to discard the four-decade old "One China" policy.
He added that "the China-U.S. relationship has global and strategic significance. This not only concerns the happiness of both countries and their people, it concerns the peace, stability, development and prosperity of the Asia Pacific (region) and internationally."
The statement is a marked escalation by China. Beijing policymakers initially had a more subdued response after Trump departed from diplomatic convention earlier this month and spoke by phone with Taiwan's president. Now things are getting more serious: the official Xinhua News Agency warned that world peace hinges on close and friendly ties between the U.S. and China.
Earlier on Monday, a stinging editorial in the Global Times, offshoot of the official People's Daily, urged Mr Trump to "listen clearly, the One China policy cannot be traded". "China needs to wage resolute struggle against [Mr Trump]," it added, warning the president-elect that China "cannot be bullied easily".
Last week the Chinese government lodged an official protest over the call with Ms Tsai but was otherwise restrained, urging the incoming administration to respect principles that have guided Sino-US relations since diplomatic ties were formally re-established in 1979.
As a result of the growing diplomatic confronation, Chinese markets were hit with the Shanghai Composite Index sinking 2.5% on Monday, the yuan fell toward an eight-year low and Chinese government bonds tumbled. Analysts cited Trump's comments on the One-China policy amonga long list of reasons for the selloff. Taiwan's benchmark Taiex index slipped 0.5% on Monday.
According to Mr Trump, "other things" could include currency policy, Beijing's military build-up in the South China Sea and improved co-operation in containing North Korea.
China's currency, the renminbi, strengthened by 30% against the dollar in the decade to 2014, but has since lost about 15 per cent of its value against the greenback. Ironically, instead of actively devaluing its currency as Trump claims, in recent years the PBOC has been propping up the renminbi's value to prevent an accelerate in capital outflows from China.

Q: How to update a label of a custom view within a scroll view using a timer Please help!
I define a custom UIControl with three labels, then on the viewDidLoad function of the main view controller, I repeatedly add multiple instances of that UIControl into the scroll view.
I need one of the label within the UIControl to be updated with new value each second. I have a question, how to clear the previously drawn custom view? Or what is the method for updating that label with best drawing performance?
- (void) updateMinuteLabel{
  CustomIconControl *control = nil;
  for (control in scrollView.subviews){
    if ([view isKindOfClass:[CustomIconControl class]] && control.tag >0){
      CustomIconControl *item = (CustomIconControl *) control;
      item.intMinute += 1;
      [item setNeedsDisplay];
    }
  }
}

In the drawRect: function of the CustomIconControl, I use the
[minuteString drawInRect: minuteRect withFont: [UIFont systemFontOfSize:10];

With this code, it continues to draw without clearing out the previously drawn controls.
Can someone help? Please tell me if you need more information, of course I have the code for custom drawing part of the CustomIconControl, the initialization of the timer, viewDidLoad etc.

A: You say your UIControl has three labels, do you mean you are adding three UILabel's as subviews of the UIControl?  If so, you can just the text' property of the label to the value and it will automatically redraw itself - no need to [minuteString drawInRet...
Otherwise, if you're drawing the three "labels" in drawRect:, calling setNeedsDisplay: after intMinute is updated should cause drawRect: to be called, thus drawing the updated text.
Also, I recommend your CustomIconControl be responsible for calling setNeedsDisplay on itself when intMinute is updated.

Q: Flexible PowerShell function for processing text content I am trying to write a PowerShell function that is very flexible in processing text content. The idea is to be able to pass a string from the pipeline, and my function will split it at "\r?\n" to get an array of strings, and then process it. I also want to be able to pass an array of objects and have my function convert each element to a string using Out-String, and then process it. Additionally, I want to be able to pass an array of FileInfo objects and have my function read all file contents for me. However, I am struggling to make it work. It seems that PowerShell requires me to use type or name to get pipeline objects. Is there a way to force it to pass pipeline objects to one of my parameters?
Update
This is what I have right now. Apparently it doesn't work. The $content parameter simply can't get piped object. For example, dir | Test doesn't work.
Function Test {
    [Cmdletbinding()]
    Param(
        [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline = $true, Position = 0)] [Object] $content
    )

    Begin {
        if ($content -is [String]) {
            $content = [regex]::Split($content, "\r?\n")
        }
        if ($content -is [System.IO.FileInfo[]]) {
            $content = $content | ForEach-Object { $_.readalltext() }
        }

        if ($content -is [Array] -and $content -isnot [String[]]) {
            $content = $content | ForEach-Object { $_ | Out-String }
        }

    }
    Process {

        Write-Host $content.GetType()
        $content | ForEach-Object {
            Write-Host $_
        }
    }
}

A: You're trying to determine what $content is when coming from the pipeline and your code seems overall good, but you're doing so in the begin block of your function when you should do it in the process block. $content doesn't yet exist in the begin block when bound from pipeline.
As aside, you will have to redefine your last condition:
$content -is [Array] -and $content -isnot [String[]]

Elements of an array are passed one by one thru the pipeline, it would be a very rare case where you pass in the whole array from pipeline by forcing it. This last condition as is, is likely to never be met.
Here is how you could start approaching the logic, see inline comments for details.
Function Test {
    [Cmdletbinding()]
    Param(
        [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline = $true, Position = 0)]
        [Object] $Content
    )

    Begin {
        # this list is used on the last condition
        $list = [System.Collections.Generic.List[object]]::new()
    }
    Process {
        # if content has new line characters
        # then we're dealing with a multi-line string
        if ($Content -match '\r?\n') {
            # split it and output it
            $Content -split '\r?\n'
        }
        # else if content is a FileInfo instance
        elseif ($Content -is [System.IO.FileInfo]) {
            # read it and output its content as a multi-line string
            $Content | Get-Content -Raw
        }
        # else, none of the above was met
        # you need to determine what you want to do here
        else {
            # we can capture each element from the pipeline
            # and then output it in the `end` block
            $list.Add($Content)
        }
    }
    end {
        # no more objects coming from pipeline
        # check if the list was populated
        if($list.Count) {
            # if it was, output the captured objects
            # as a string
            $list.ToArray() | Out-String
        }
    }
}

Everyone seems to be hung up on Dany's character development and transition. My view:
She spent her entire time in Essos freeing people, sure, but it was all in an effort to build up an army behind her. To gain ships. To establish power. She has no history with any of the people there and when her emotions do start to get the better of her, she has trusted advisors that have been able to bring her back down. She's maintained that she wants the throne because it's rightfully hers. Thus her justification for putting together an army to tackle King's Landing.
Fast forward, she finds out she's not the rightful heir. If deep down, what was really driving her was doing what was right, she'd back Jon. But that's not what fuels her. It's not the throne; it's revenge and it's always been revenge. And now she's perched atop the city that destroyed her family, supported a family that sits on the throne that took it from her, is responsible for the death of anyone that has helped and supported her, and has the ability to finish what her father had started (knowingly or not). Revenge and rage is in her blood and now there is no one left to hold her back. 'Targaryen, alone in the world, is a terrible thing.'
She didn't commit genocide on the other civilizations because she had no reason to. KL is not like the other cities and she has no one around her to convince her otherwise. She wants to want what is right but the Targaryen in her can't let go. She finally broke. I feel like I've seen her get to the brink a number of times. That's why I'm not shocked by what happened.

as against the last 2 seasons as i am, the argument that Cleganebowl was just fan service is not a good one. that was set up from the very beginning of the show. there was nothing left to do with the hound's character. his actually reached it's zenith.

You consider your post a rational debate?
Why not? I'm agreeing with ZJS, and pointing out that you have to be intentionally dismissing a lot of setup that they've been doing since S1 to think this is not where The Hound's story was always leading.
I think I already addressed this. I agree that they set up his reasoning for hating his brother and wanting to kill him. I disagree with how they got him there. Again, there is a lot of "we have to have this character do this, so let's just put him there and have him do it" this season. This was more of it. It did not work in the context of the story, for me. If it works for everyone else, great.

One of the best things about Clegane Bowl was how the Hound just cut through 3-4 Kingsguard like they were butter. Barriston Selmy would be proud.
bobinator
This is a perfectly fine explanation.
The problem I have is that it's not at all clear that that was the case, so it's left up to us to decide what exactly just happened. They could have fleshed that out a little bit with some dialogue. Perhaps in the scene with Grey Worm.
But that's the whole issue, even people that agree it makes sense don't agree on why it makes sense.
Blatant Disregard
FWIW I have a prediction:
Dany (Targaryan) will be Killed by Tyrion (Lannister). He will be known as the 'Queenslayer'
Gendry (Baratheon) now legitimized, will sit on the Iron Throne with support from a Stark (Jon).
Replace Dany with Aerys, Tyrion with Jaime, Gendry with Robert, and Jon with Ned. The series ends exactly where it started. We have 'Queenslayer' instead of 'Kingslayer' Lannister.Baratheon is on the throne, and is supported by a Stark.
It's like poetry, it rhymes.

This season isn't getting a good reception anywhere, not just this forum.
Episode 5 was the worst reviewed episode of the series, knocking Episode 8.4 out of that place. And no one on this board had anything to do with that.
On IMDB
Ep 4 = 6.2
roughly same number of votes
Not sure it really matters. 6.9 would make it the second lowest rated episode, and way below the typical 9 most episodes earn.
Sure I get that - I had no doubt some even many might hate this.
Although saying most earn a 9 is a bit of a reach. there are plenty in the 8.1-8.9 range. People forget those many middling episodes like Unbowed Unbent Unbroken. But for these big episodes that's true I suppose.
And it doesn't surprise me - stuff along the way was easy to like - I think it snowed people into thinking we'd get a happy-ish ending. Most of the deaths were people deserving it.
But GRRMs vision if you will does not have clearcut good/bad guys it has good people do bad things in the name of conquest. and bad people sometimes do good things.
I think most of it is people's expectations vs. what some of us always thought this was. I have no rooting interest in Dany per se ruling benevolently. Nor Jon. Nor anyone. Although at times I thought it might go that way.
My only point on the ratings and the poll on here really is that I still think more people are liking it than hating it.
Relative to how much or how many liked previous seasons isn't surprising to me - I figured it would end badly (meaning badly in the plot).

yeah tyrion has to have some resolution. no way he survives the consequences of letting jamie bounce.
"I did not come here to be Queen of the Ashes"
Your exposition is nice. But she has become worst than the Mad King. She is not a mentally ill king hoping to ignite wildfire under the city, no she is a sane person with pure bloodlust. The had her victory with the bells. You claim she really wanted revenge, ok. But she was killing everyone, even those who supported her grandfather against Robert. She is off the deep-end.

At this point did anything happen in E5 that would let you know Dany knew Tyrion let Jaime loose? I mean even if she knows he escaped how will she know that he was helped?
IF she does know that he did it or finds out I don't think she would kill him, but his a** won't be hand to the queen anymore. Probably banished or imprisoned.

I'm pretty sure the lady who just killed millions will have no problem adding one more.
True. They could be like he escaped after Tyrion visited, but Tyrion could also deny letting him loose. Maybe just wanted to visit him before the impending battle. Without a lot of time left to explain things I am sure they gloss over the questioning and she just assumes he did it.

I still think it wasn't all her going "mad". I think it had to do with a lot of things - mainly the fact that fear was all she had left. This was her justifying dropping the A bomb on innocents. If she just took the throne peacefully when the bells rang, she would still have to contend with Sansa, the North and anyone else that thought Jon would be the rightful King. Jon already spurned her. She had lost her best friend in Missy and Jorah. She lost two "kids". Everyone else wants Jon as king. Well, "Fear it is". I think she knew what she was going to do when she went into the the battle - the scene at the bell was her doubting herself and then going through with the plan. Couple that with a bit of Targ insanity and you have what we saw in Ep 5. Should that have been communicated better to the viewer - yes.
(I know D&D said differently - but they are dead to me - and I have enjoyed this season - just can't get over the fact they turned down more episodes.....ugh)

Again, I'm not disappointed that Dany went one a rager. I'm just HINGLY disappointed about how they wrote it out. If you told me Cersei beheaded Missande and Dany turned around, hopped on Drogon, and burned the ****ing place to the ground, I'd 100% believe it.
She was mad at Cersei. Once she killed Cersei, then she could have a moment where she saw that the people didn't love her but only feared her, so she then turns full Anakin and we see real rage build up inside of her. Then I would get it. But we didn't see any hot-headed rage. We saw cold-blooded, calculated, tactical city destruction while purposefully leaving her true enemy untouched and allowing her an opportunity to escape.
Sorry, that just doesn't make sense. Why the F would Dany not go straight to the Red Keep once the scorpions were destroyed?
Exactly - if he is held accountable we won't see the discovery.
She'll just say "you let Jamie go" and we assume she asked the guards and he won't deny it and..... time to cook you.
THEN.... hopefully he is immune to fire!!!!
I want TWISTS in the finale damn't and maybe a prophecy or two.... is that too much to ASK?!?!?!?!??!
- in re: to a poster who said Tyrion would kill Dany, I don't think he would even attempt it nor will he have a chance
- that leaves Arya, Jon, and maybe even Bronn as a wildcard
- my biggest question is if they kill her what happens with the Dothraki and Unsullied? They seemed pretty fired up about her taking the throne in the preview for next week

It doesn't make sense to strafe bomb the city for 20 minutes while you give Cersei time to escape.
She flew in, destroyed the entire Iron Fleet (incredible act of war), destroyed every wall around Kings Landing (incredible show of force), and decimated the remaining forces with ease. If she flew to the Red Keep and burned it to the ground, is there really anyone NOT afraid of her? Strafe bombing the city doesn't do anything.

I don't know how many people have to say it before it sinks in, but most (maybe even all) aren't really upset about her going MQ. The issue is the rush/randomness of it, especially after hearing D&D's explanation. People have mentioned that any number of small tweaks would have made it fit better.
I agree that likely most people are frustrated about how rushed things were. I enjoyed the episode and I too feel it was rushed.
With that said, there is a vocal minority, mostly on other sites and Twitter, who are irate at Dany's turn and those are the people who I was referring to in regards to the fact that they could never be pleased.
The people that liked this episode and are defending it ARE THE VOCAL MINORITY.
I can still get an answer. There's one episode left. I'm hoping they give her a proper Darth Vader type introduction. Show her complete transformation into blood-thirsty conqueror. Jon is dead to her, Tyrion is dead to her, Greyworm is her only ally and he won't let ANYONE get close to her again. If they have her going full tilt, then there's no way she is stopped in the Finale.
Except that we now know that's predictable so of course she will be stopped because the producers found something else to OP this week.

Literally about 10 of the 20 haters on this list are ALL of the negativity on this thread.
They bring the stark ability to warg from the books and Sansa wargs into drogon and kills Dany.
I think there's a difference between liking the episode and defending how they wrote Dany's turn. You can like the episode while also choosing not to defend the way they portrayed her turn.
