Chronicling a legend: We're pretty sure Mark Futch would like the way that sounds, and it's pretty apt. Every time a small plane flies low over the island, every time tarpon season comes and goes, every time another tall fishing tale is told, we'll be looking instinctively for Mark. And now he won't be there when we do, and it seems very unfair.
Mark's brother David, who currently lives in California, Mark's wife Kathy, Mark's daughter Rey and family friends Wil Shriner and Barbara Malloy have all written down their thoughts of Mark and would like to share them with us. We are glad they did.
Mark Futch was a good family man and provider, a brilliant pilot and fishing guide. Opinionated, with absolute confidence in his talents, Mark never saw a plane he couldn't fly or a tarpon he couldn't tame. He was bigger than life. He could out-talk, out-walk, out- shoot and out-fish anyone. And he never shied away from speaking truth to power.
But Mark's voice was suddenly silenced Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2018 when he died of sudden cardiac arrest at his Punta Gorda home just one week before his 64th birthday. Everyone who knew Mark knew how he loved and doted on his son Matt, daughter Rey and, of course, his three grandchildren. He also will be remembered as one of the best fishing guides in Florida and a top-shelf pilot who was married to his wife Kathy for 43 years.
And I will remember him as my brother. Only a year and a month apart in age, Mark and I shared a tough childhood along with a love of sports, good books and Florida wildlife. We also shared a habit of starting our days with a brother-to-brother phone call, usually around 4 a.m. California time.
I knew my brother backwards and forwards. And the more I knew, the bigger my little brother seemed to me.
The list of people he knew and flew was astonishing. It was a Who's Who of American society, politics, literature, Hollywood, flying, fishing and wealth. And they all trusted him with their lives.
In fact, the only time a pilot refused to let Futch take the controls occurred when he was invited aboard President George W. Bush's Air Force One in Sarasota. The president was visiting Boca Grande friends and wanted to fish with Capt. Phil O'Bannon.
When it was time to locate where redfish and snook were gathered in Charlotte Harbor, Mark took to the skies to find schools of fish so President Bush could catch as many as he wanted. And he did.
The son of the late Karl Futch of Boca Grande and Shirley Cassady of Punta Gorda, Mark was born in Winter Haven. He graduated from Clearwater High School in the Tampa Bay area, where he was a standout athlete in football and wrestling. As a 12-year-old Little League baseball player, he hit 14 home runs in a 12-game season, three in one game as a member of the Lake Alfred Lions in Central Florida.
Mark moved back to his ancestral home of Boca Grande at age 20, working as a carpenter before getting his U.S. Coast Guard motorboat operator's license. He was the fourth generation of his family to be a fishing guide.
On top of his skills as a raconteur, Mark was a community leader who took many an island child under his wing.
A self-made, well-read man, Futch devoured everything from Mark Twain to Ernest Hemingway to Thomas McGuane to Randy Wayne White, the latter two he called friends. He was a student of Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S, Grant and Teddy Roosevelt.
He was a history buff with an unparalleled knowledge of Civil War battles. Not only did he know all the generals on both sides involved in every major battle but also their subordinates and how each maneuvered their troops.
Mark won more than a dozen tarpon tournaments, a feat he shares with island guides Nat Italiano and Waylon Mills. He was a board member of Useppa Island's Izaak Walton Club, founded in 1908 as one of the first conservation groups in America.
Mark Futch twice won the World's Richest Tarpon Tournament, which garnered his team more than $300,000 in prize money and added to his already stellar reputation as a top guide. He won so many Millers Marina Tarpon Tide Tournaments that his boat always topped the list of favorites at the Friday night Calcutta cocktail party.
For 43 years, Futch led clients to ridiculous numbers of tarpon on his charter boat Sitarah. It wasn't unusual on an afternoon falling tide for Futch to lead anglers to 20 tarpon jumped in the air, landing half or more of them.
But his work to save Florida's tarpon industry was my brother's most outstanding accomplishment and the achievement of which he was proudest.
Along with fellow Gasparilla Island guides Frank Davis and Tom McLaughlin, Futch and the group Save The Tarpon were instrumental in convincing the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to ban a weighted jig that was killing tarpon. The ruling put an end to made-for-television tarpon tournaments where dozens of dead fish floated to the surface each week, but always off-camera.
Mark was quick to praise others such as Charlie Harrison and Randy Baird, who were instrumental in helping Save The Tarpon by loaning their planes whenever Mark, Frank and Tom needed to attend FWC meetings from Key West to Pensacola.
When he wasn't on the sea, Mark was in the air, sometimes fishing a 4 a.m. tide, then hopping in his plane to take someone to Miami, then back in time for an afternoon hill-tide tarpon session.
Over a 33-year career, my brother logged more than 25,000 hours flying for his business, Boca Grande Seaplane. According to Maule Air in Moultrie, Ga., Mark had more time in a Maule floatplane than any pilot they knew, including their test pilots. He was a consultant for the Federal Aviation Administration's rules and regulations and a board member and former secretary of the Seaplane Pilots Association and its foundation that raises money for a permanent base in Central Florida.
Futch flew some of Boca Grande's most prominent families back and forth from their homes on Gasparilla Island to Palm Beach, Miami or the Florida Keys. He had a long-lasting friendship with island scion and Gasparilla Inn owner Bayard Sharp. The two flew hundreds of hours in Futch's Maule.
Mark's favorite destinations were less than a five-minute flight to Turtle and Bulls Bay where he would land to pick oysters. His favorite customer was four-time Oscar-winner Katharine Hepburn, who would sit on the floats of Futch's plane while he culled oysters, shucking them for Hepburn as she downed beers. He said they would talk for hours about everything from politics to movies and books.
Hepburn would go on and on about dating industrialist and pilot Howard Hughes. As a pilot, Mark never tired of hearing her talk about Hughes, one of his heroes of the sky.
Mark's wife Kathy also was a friend, often penning personal letters in her wonderful handwriting for Hepburn.
But the zenith of Mark's career as a pilot and fishing guide came when he caught a 110-pound tarpon for the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong. It was the only time Mark ever asked someone for a photograph. When Armstrong's friend returned the developed picture, Armstrong had autographed it, something Armstrong almost never did.
Novelist Randy Wayne White went on a number of seaplane adventures with Mark, once to the Everglades on a python hunt with White and Jeff Carter, son of President Jimmy Carter. Mark was fond of telling about nearly stepping on an 18-foot snake.
Mark would try anything or use any bait to catch a tarpon. He and lifelong friend and fishing partner George Melissas invented the tarpon jig specifically for tournament fishing, then turned against it when they realized those jigs were injuring and killing tarpon. Mark used the jig sparingly, preferring to fish with live bait when money wasn't on the line.
In one tournament, Futch and Melissas went so far as to put goldfish on their hooks. They caught tarpon, but goldfish were outlawed in tournaments after that.
For two decades, Futch was "Director of Fun" for Randy Baird of JRB Construction Equipment in Akron, flying Baird's Grumman Widgeon everywhere in North America and Canada. A superb fly fisherman and a crack shot, Mark was proud of the fact he'd been in every state in the Continental U.S. as well as the Bahamas in search of walleye pike, salmon, bonefish and birds.
When the movie or advertising industry needed a pilot to do risky maneuvers or scout locations, they called Futch. That's him in a dress and blond wig for a seaplane stunt over the Everglades in the movie "Gone Fishin' " with Joe Pesci and Danny Glover. The appearance earned him his Screen Actors Guild card and voting membership in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He also worked on movie sets such as "Out of Time" with Denzel Washington and "Hoot" by Miami writer Carl Hiaasen. Mark is featured during "Hoot" credits at the end, with a minute-long panoramic shot of him flying low over the Everglades.
Futch recently put a new engine in Sitarah and was looking forward to getting to 50 years fishing the Pass. Now someone else must take the helm.
The following is from Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" and applies to my brother. It's his favorite passage and the same one he read at his Uncle Billy Wheeler's funeral in 1999.
"The old man was thin and gaunt, with deep wrinkles in the back of his neck. The brown splotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic seas were on his cheeks. The blotches ran well down the sides of his face, and his hands had the deep-creased scars from handling heavy fish on the cords. But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert.
I loved my brother to an extent no one can know. We talked often, almost every morning. Me in Los Angeles, he in Punta Gorda. Me a left-coast Democrat and he a libertarian, discussing world affairs and wondering if world leaders would be interested in our advice.
But I remember most of all growing up with my brother, watching his back and he watching mine. And taking care of our oldest brother Danny. And taking care of each other.
Oh, what a night it was, it really was, such a night. From the first dance to the last, it's been such a life and will never be the same. It had to be his heart that took him down. It was so big. I haven't heard so many grown men cry than when they learned of his passing. What a testament.
From our unique and, at that time, original wedding on Banyan Street in 1975, where I like to say, when the natives and the hippies came together, to the filling of the old Pink Elephant that night, to taking Chalk's Seaplane to Bimini to spend our honeymoon at the Compleat Angler Club of Hemmingway fame. I should have known to be ready for a ride.
Everything that he accomplished in his life, he shared greatly. There cannot be anyone who passed on his love of tarpon fishing and flying more than my husband, Mark. Hold up your hand if you or your family member caught their first tarpon with him – or had their first thrill of a seaplane ride with one of the best – or thanked him for sharing a bucket of his much-loved Tommy Atkins mangoes or Bulls Bay oysters he gave out freely, enjoying the thought you would be hooked forever.
To him, his best accomplishment was his children, Matt and Rey, and then his beautiful and smart grandchildren, Francis Futch and Olivia and Pierce Urbat. No one could have been more proud of or loved more dearly.
He did often talk of his magnum opus as being the adventurous flying he did in Cocos Island, Costa Rica and the experience with the French film group Ushuaia Nature and Krov Menuhin, son of the famous violinist, Yehudi Menuhin.
Yes, he liked to be the center of attention, telling his stories of local color or sharing his love and pride of local history. There wasn't a better docent around to take you through Useppa Island Museum or Collier Inn.
His love of music was as diverse as his friends, from the hard rock of Lincoln Park to the operatic singing of Pavarotti. Which made the most recent thrill his brother David and wife Sally treated him to, was a concert at the Hollywood Bowl to hear and see Itzhak Perlman play with the L.A. Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, just huge, and he couldn't stop talking about it. Thank you.
All we shared these 43 years together, all the people I met and shared time together with because of him, I will always cherish. I will miss all the little catch phrases we interjected in our conversations when alone that no one else will ever understand. Thank you, my darling. I love and miss you, and I will never forget you.
Mark Futch was a Renaissance man, a man's man and a really cool dad. I could share so many adventurous stories growing up as Mark's daughter. He was a big kid. I remember bridge- jumping with him when I was 7 years old, meeting ACDC backstage with him when I was 12, and fishing and flying through the Caribbean when I was in college. The day before he walked me down the aisle, I told him how much he meant to me. I got to tell him how thankful I was for everything that he taught me, and how proud I was to be his daughter. I'm so grateful for that conversation.
I have countless memories of tarpon fishing with him on the Sitarah. I always thought that my children would share those same memories with him someday as well.
My dad loved his grandchildren, and he always said that he was a "rich man" whenever he was with them. I will do my best to share all of the stories that he would have shared with them, although I will never be able to tell them with the same conviction or flavor. I will pass along his legacy by teaching my children everything that he taught me, regardless of how unconventional some of those lessons might be. And I will share with them his passion for adventure. My dad was a fun guy to be around, and most importantly, he was kind, generous and compassionate.
He always had my back, too. Whenever I would call him with a problem, he would say, "Do you want me to get (insert person) in a headlock?" It always made me laugh. I never took him up on his offer, but I'm sure that if I had, he would have been there. He was my buddy.
Words cannot express how much I miss my dad. And while his life may have been cut short, I find comfort in knowing that the life he lived was lived to the fullest.
Ever since last week's awful shock that the life of someone so active, strong, capable and filled with purpose as Mark Futch had come to an abrupt end, my sorrowful thoughts keep turning to him and his grieving family. Wish i could be there to embrace my faithful friend, Kathy, lend a hand or offer a shoulder, reach out to dear Rey and Matt, whose so loveable little ones will be a comfort to all, thoughthe elder two may need help to understand. Hard to explain to children of such a tender age what their "grownups" can barely comprehend and are painfully struggling to accept.
As Beacon readers know, support of Boca Grande's close-knit community can be essential in times of loss, so I am grateful for that now on their behalf, as I was decades ago when it helped me through the sudden death of my ever-energetic Daddy, just days after visiting on our Alice's third birthday.
After my pal (dedicated Beacon columnist) Delores Savas bore the difficult duty of informing me (drawing from sad experience of her own father's similar death), my other "ministering angels" included Kathy and her best friend, the dearly missed Kathy Stockman (they were house mates up north before she moved to "paradise" on Gasparilla Island). Their kindness to me was among countless good deeds by each of them that have benefitted the town, people and animals.
Not surprising that when those two caring souls met, they had a special affinity from the start.
Valuing inherited traditions of this area, yet seeking to make improvements as he learned necessary, are emblematic of Mark.
Their romantic wedding grew into a great partnership. Both enterprising with engaging personalities; Kathy more drawn to the arts and painting, theatre and poetry, and he to books, history and feats of fishing and flying, They've shared a vital interest in local or broader events, and concern for conditions or policies affecting marine environment which led to focus on civic duty and complex variables.
They were always ready to join in the fun (as recent Boca reunion pix will attest), sharing the laughter (often providing a good deal of it, with his lively story-telling or her comedic talent and flair for costumes). By "nature AND nurture" their combined strengths in analytic and creative approach plus communication skills already shine forth in the second generation, with notable sparkle appearing in the new.
This brings a shaft of light, however slightly discernable, in these dark hours. It feels too soon to transition from the immediacy of his visceral presence to a spiritual one, or to think of him in terms of memories. Yet I believe and pray his tales will be well recounted, along with stories of his adventures, dreams and charming anecdotes woven into the vivid tapestry by fond friends and family members as "Keepers of the Legend," to remember, and to inspire limitless horizons as befitting his own.
May all these live on: "Unto their children's children," and be a blessing.
Futch is survived by his wife Kathy of Punta Gorda; son Matthew and Matt's son Francis Xavier of Orlando; daughter Rey Urbat and her husband Christian of Tampa and their daughter, Olivia, and son Pierce; brother David of Santa Monica, Calif. and his wife, Sally; and brother Danny of Jackson, Miss.
Services will be held on Saturday, Oct. 13 at 10 a.m. at Boca Grande Pass. A celebration of Mark's life will be held immediately afterward at the Boca Bay Power House (potluck).

As one would expect, the characters in the manga are mostly animals, but with Shiina's (the rabbit director) powers they become semi-human, capable of speech and much more. You've just got to throw Horikoshi a bone for the way he lets his creativity run rampant across the pages as he humanizes the animals and gives them unique personalities and abilities, all of which are actually grounded in science and nature. It takes all of 8 chapters to actually get into the meat of the story, but when it does, you'll be in for a whale of a time!
Every dog has its day, and even if it is still floundering near the bottom of the Jump TOCs, I can say with assurance that Oumagadoki Doubutsuen is truly a breath of fresh air in a mostly stale demographic. Separate the sheep from the goats - you certainly won't be barking up the wrong tree with this one!
From the creator of Stray Keys, Yuzunoki Taro brings us En Passant. Kujou Shin, is a 15 year old boy who has inherited the power of 'X-Ray' and is the successor to the worlds most powerful and secretive organization, Verde. As 'King' of this organization and wielder of X-Ray, he would have the power to choose whatever future he wants. The only problem is, Kujou is the most negative, uncaring, pessimistic person ever! So much so that his classmates call him "Negative Shin" as he has no attachments and ponders taking his life quite frequently. Unfortunately for him though, there are other forces in the world that wont allow this and Shin is forced into a fight for his future.
At its core, En Passant is a very typical Shounen series. It is filled with all of the stereotypical cliches, but at the same time, takes a very different approach to them.
Unlike with most protagonists, this one is actually the antithesis of the up beat, go getter. He really doesn't want to be one at all and it's interesting to see this opposite approach to story telling - which is also breathe of fresh air in my opinion.
The story is filled with your standard fights, humorous antics, strange and unique characters, and has a rather intriguing back story. The potential is definitely there for this to be a great series as long as the author can maintain what makes this series interesting - the unorthodox and creative approach to your typical Shounen series.
They exist in the most unexpected places -- be it within your eyes and ears, under the floor and roof of your house, or the trees and flowers in your garden. They are everywhere and yet nowhere at the same time. Are they alive or not? Perhaps it is more apt to say they are beings who transcend the concept of life and death itself...Or could it be that they are what scientists today describe as the 'primordial ooze' - the origins wherein all life arose billions of years ago?
They are mushi. Some wreak havoc in the lives of humans; while others bring them deliverance from suffering. Mushi are neither good, nor evil; for just like any other creature, they are merely striving to survive in this harsh, competitive world. Ginko - a lone wanderer with an intriguingly reclusive personality, offers help and guidance to those plagued by mushi. This is the tale of his travels and exploits in a wondrous world populated by these mysterious entities.
Tired of shonen constant battle between immature young kids, why not trying Mushishi ? Ginko, is a Mushishi, a specialist of mushi, fantastical creatures at the origin of every life form. Contrary to most of humans, Ginko has the ability to see them; he even attract them. And since too many mushi in one place can attire disasters, he constantly travels from place to place, helping humans in their interaction with these mysterious beings.
No big action here, but small supernatural stories in an old rural Japan. The story goes slowly, but it goes well with the one chapter one story pace. It's not a manga where one will read 200 chapters in a weekend, but one from time to time and it's always a pleasure to see Ginko back. Moreover the art is great with a very realistic look.
The 26 first chapters have been made into an anime, which was one of my favorite discoveries in 2010.
The fascinating world of the Silk Road presents us the rich, every day life of Amira and Karluk. Even though Karluk is 8 years younger than Amira, the two married after an arrangement between the two tribes they hail from.
Along tags a Western scholar who keeps record of every cultural event and activity, and later events in the manga show the difference between Asian culture and European one.
While the plot is just at its starting point, the art is amazing and it offers good support in presenting the culture of the tribes that live along the Silk Road, with some little action, family conflicts and love that is inherited by the historical/slice of life genre.
Music for me, is a dazzling world, yet at the same time mysterious. It is studied that the creation of music is the most complicated task a human brain could perform. If that is so, what are musical geniuses? How do they see the world? Piano no Mori, I believe, is aptly titled "The Perfect World of Kai". Kai is the musical prodigy that is the main protagonist in the story.
I love this manga not because I'm a music geek. Some seem to be intimidated to read this manga because it's about music. This is not a shounen sports manga, to be sure, so knowing music as much may not be necessary. What makes the manga so brilliant is that the reader gets to feel what Kai feels. And what makes it very endearing is because Kai is but a child who is so innocent and curious.
This is a slice-of-life manga, perhaps, but there is no subtlety in the story-telling. There is no holding back on dialogues. The story is laid out in simple, honest words uttered by the characters, yet in its simplicity is an explosion of colors. Do give this manga a try.
Cane Lele was born into the fashion industry. Her mother, Ye Feii, was Taiwan's top model, and her father was also a model, until a tragic airplane crash left Lele without parents. Therefore it is no surprise that Lele hates the industry, thinking it superficial and unnecessary.
Raised by her paternal grandmother, Lele reaches seventeen before she is sucked in by her mothers sister, Ye Feihung, a fashion model agent (and former model), convinces the reluctant Lele to model. Lele had been adverse to the whole idea, until she sees a photo shoot of popular American model Angus Lanson, and she begins to see modeling as an art form.
When Aunt Feihung's magazine editor invites Angus Lanson to a meeting of all the top fashion ambassadors, Lele is invited to meet him and is very curious. She does not know that Angus' twin elder brother, Eros Lanson, is secretly accompanying his brother. This obviously leads to confusion and is the start of a charming story of Lele's goals: fashion in NYC, becoming a top model, and love?
In general, it's a peek of the fashion world and how hard it is to live in it. It's quite outrageous, but you get to appreciate it and understand it for what it is- a vicious world that takes nerves and a heart of steel to conquer.
The heroine is your typical adolescent girl who thinks only for herself most of the time but as the story progresses you get to see the slow transformation in her personality. As she experiences many firsts in the fashion industry at such a young age, her maturity is summoned much earlier than what should be expected of girls her age.
This manhua is stereotypically shoujo. So if you don't mind the classic plot devices or art that doesn't stand out too much, this read is a no-brainer and can entertain without the expense of effort.
I hope that either OD will rise in the Jump ToC or that it will take PTY's place as all-time bottom but not cancelled until the author is finished. It's definitely worth reading if you like stories like One Piece and Toriko!
Oumaga!This manga is so underrated!I'm glad it's featured here.
I need to finally read Mushishi.

2015 Primetime Emmys
Posted on September 20, 2015 by jcarsonwrites	| Leave a comment
The Emmys happened! Yes, they aired tonight and this year the host was Andy Samburg. I never used to be a fan of awards shows. They're long, the speeches are sometimes annoying and cringeworthy, and the host (and their jokes) are usually lame and not funny.
However, lately they've really kind of been growing on me and I find myself becoming one of those people who really, really likes awards shows. And you know what? I'm okay with that. And I'll continue being okay with that if more of them are like this.
The opening number was great! I saw mixed reviews on the Internet just after it happened, but personally I really enjoyed it. I laughed a lot and just thought overall it was really fun.
Andy Samburg is actually funny. I always love when hosts of awards shows take serious situations that have been happening and use satire and sarcasm in their speeches and that's exactly what Andy Samburg did. From Bill Cosby to Donald Trump, he had a lot of material to use.
There were many presenters this year from Lena Headey to Taraji P. Henson to James Corden.
Many of the winners this year brought attention to serious issues in their speeches. Jill Soloway and Jeffrey Tambor both won Emmys for their work on Transparent and during their speeches brought attention to the Trans* rights movement.
Viola Davis won for her role on How to Get Away With Murder and made a moving speech about opportunities in the acting business for women of colour. It was truly emotional and spectacular and if you can find it online I highly recommend watching/listening to it.
Amy Schumer made a fantastically hilarious speech (of course) and I loved Peter Dinklage's speech after he won for best supporting actor in Game of Thrones.
Azo Aduba's speech was wonderful. She was so emotional and it just made me really happy to know she was really happy. It also made me really happy when Jon Hamm won for his role in Mad Men. I never saw the show (it's on my list of things to watch), but I think everyone knows how huge it was and with it ending this year I don't think it was a surprise to anyone that he won.
The memorial video was incredibly sad. Seeing all the men and women who have passed away this past year is actually so surprising. You hear about the death when it happens and you're shocked, but to see all these faces, one name after the other, all in one go, it's even more surprising.

George III Silver Salver by Paul Storr
Contact Dealer To Purchase
A handsome antique sterling silver salver with a broad shaped gadroon border and classical design feet (similar to the architectural ionic capital). Excellent quality as you'd expect by this prestigious English master silversmith. To the centre there is a hand engraved crest. Weight 712 grams, 22.8 troy ounces. Diameter 25 cms. Height 2.8 cms. London 1811. Maker Paul Storr.
Biography – Paul Storr (1771 – 1844) Paul Storr, born in London England in 1771, was to become one of the most talented silversmiths of the nineteenth century. Today his legacy of exceptionally well crafted silver, found worldwide in museums and private collections, leaves one in awe when compared to that of his contemporaries. After having served a seven year apprenticeship from the age of 14, he began his career in 1792 when he went into a brief partnership with William Frisbee. This did not last and in 1793 a new mark, (his initials 'P S') was entered. By the beginning of the nineteenth century he had established himself as one of London's top silversmiths producing, amongst others, commissions for Royalty. In 1801 he married Elizabeth Susanna Beyer with whom he was to have ten children. In 1807 Paul Storr entered into a working relationship with Philip Rundell and by 1811 was a partner, and managing the workshops for Rundell, Bridge & Rundell. During this period he kept his own marks and separate workshop. However it was through Rundell, Bridge & Rundell who were appointed Goldsmith in Ordinary to George III in 1804 that his reputation as a master silversmith grew. His talents lay in being able to transform ideas and designs from Rundell, Bridge & Rundell's designers, William Theed II, the chief modeller and head of the design department, and later John Flaxman II who succeeded him in 1817. During this period Rundell, Bridge & Rundell's reputation grew due to the patronage of the Prince Regent (later George IV). Having left RUNDELL, BRIDGE & RUNDELL in 1819 and moved to a factory in Harrison Street, Grays Inn Lane (now Road), Paul Storr soon went into partnership with John Mortimer, the assistant of a retiring retail goldsmith and jeweller, WILLIAM GRAY, of 13 New Bond Street. The firm was renamed STORR & MORTIMER. Under their agreement, Storr concentrated on the manufacture of goods for Mortimer to sell in the shop at 13 New Bond Street. Storr and Mortimer now manufacturing and retail goldsmiths, jewellers and silversmiths with an influential clientele, moved to 156, New Bond Street, in 1838. Storr retired to Tooting in 1839 and died in 1844

The Russian Market of international shipping has been created before the modern Russian Custom Law was born. As for today the major logistic product which is offered by most expeditors and transport operators in Russia represents by itself the old scheme of delivery. At the same time the World trend to simplify the custom services brings the solutions of important logistics tasks on the first place. International economic activity is trying to optimize the ways from producer to consumer.
For Russian transport companies this means the total changes in priorities and strong competitive activity. Transport-expeditions companies in Russia had a very old mechanism of work. They offered one working scheme which usually had some standard realization. Always the same ways to deliver, standard customs channels, sometimes prime forwarding. Transport companies represented themselves on market with a completely the same packages of logistic services. Clients were convinced in safeness and convenience of these working schemes and transport companies offered to work according to it. When the time passed the consumers became the hostages of these schemes and were forced to accept all cons. and pros. of transport companies. The major reason is that to change the expeditors in business is very risky. Today this way of work is unacceptable.
We were working on transportation field long time before xn---74-fddihw2ajiba3ame3b.xn--p1ai has been created as an organized company with the new strategy in transportation service. We collected professional knowledge in logistic and clients' needs. At the end of 2003 we came to the point to create the new universal transportation and logistic company. So in March 2004 on the Market of freight services we represented xn---74-fddihw2ajiba3ame3b.xn--p1ai, which offered totally different point of view on the solution of the transport tasks according to the environment of Russian specific.
Unlike the other transport companies xn---74-fddihw2ajiba3ame3b.xn--p1ai is having advanced partnership chain which can satisfy very demanding clients.
Our company is flexible and with multilevel structure which is oriented on acceleration logistic.
Right alone we compare all needs of Russian consumers with the newest opportunities in World Market and offer them competitive solutions at the present moment.

Save the date for this full-day conference focused on the vision, design, implementation, and impact of the Atlanta BeltLine Arboretum. Connecting 45 Atlanta neighborhoods and 57 city parks, the Atlanta BeltLine becomes more than a transit corridor when complemented by the living collections that will surround all 22-miles of trails.
We believe that at its completion, the Arboretum may qualify as the world's longest arboretum, but even with only a small fraction of the trails and Arboretum completed, we are already experiencing its significant contribution to the environmental and cultural ecosystem of Atlanta.

Q: Installing two different versions of grunt on one machine I'm contributing to two projects that both require different versions of Grunt:

*

*Project A requires Grunt v0.3.2

*Project B requires Grunt v0.4.1

Both projects have separate workspaces.
I currently have Grunt v0.4.1 installed on my machine; however I can't seem to run grunt on Project A since it detects the gruntfile differently.  I could migrate Project A from grunt v0.3->0.4, however I feel there could be a better solution out there in the meantime.
How would I go about solving this conflict?

A: Grunt 0.3 used to require a global install, but with 0.4 you install the cli globally (npm install grunt-cli). This should still work with 0.3 if you install the cli globally, and then the 0.3 version locally (like 0.4 does).
So to summarize:

*

*npm uninstall grunt -g to remove the old global grunt version

*npm install grunt-cli -g ensure the cli is installed globally

*npm install grunt@0.3 into your your 0.3 project

Some NBA players hesitant on restart
Faction of NBA players hesitant to restart season in Orlando bubble, sources say
As a faction of NBA players hold conference calls to discuss uncertainty about restarting the season in the Orlando, Florida, bubble, the NBA and National Basketball Players Association are agreeing on a plan that would allow players to stay home without consequences, sources told ESPN.
There were 40 to 50 players on and off a conference call in the past 24 hours discussing a number of concerns centered on the restart in Orlando, but there has been no formal petitioning to the NBPA from any group wanting out of the 22-team resumption, sources said.
As players have started to come to terms with the restrictive and isolated nature of the Orlando bubble — including no visitors until after the first round of the playoffs, nearly seven weeks after the opening of mid-July training camp — there has been increased dialogue about the prudence of restarting the season for a number of players, especially those on non-championship contenders, sources said.
Executives and coaches around the NBA have had significant concern about how players will adapt to an environment unlike any they've ever experienced and how those hurdles could impact the sustained competitive drive for teams. Many have worried, too, especially on teams that aren't title contenders, if some players will start to seek avenues to bypass the resumption altogether.
Players are citing a number of concerns, including family situations, the inability to leave the Disney World Resort campus, the coronavirus pandemic and the implications surrounding the emergence of social justice causes in the country, sources said. Participants in Orlando — including players — will not be allowed to leave the bubble environment without a 10-day quarantine upon their return to the Disney grounds, sources said.
Players with medical issues that might put them in high-risk categories could seek an independent examination to learn whether they would be excused from participation, sources said. Even those told that they're fit to play would be allowed to bow out of Orlando, but without pay for the final eight regular-season games, sources said.
Players deciding against the Orlando resumption would not be paid for missed games, sources said. The league started withholding 25% of players' paychecks on June 15 because of the force majeure provision in the collective bargaining agreement that will repay teams for canceled games.
Players who decide against participating in Orlando could be replaced by a substitution player, sources told ESPN. The NBA plans to allow replacements for players who test positive for the coronavirus or suffer injuries, sources said. Those players who are replaced become ineligible for the rest of the 2019-20 season, sources said.
The NBA and NBPA have been working around the clock this week to finalize the terms of the restart. They hoped to have a term sheet and a health and safety protocol guide available to teams and players this week, sources said.

"The Crusade in the Fifteenth Century" (Housley, ed.)
July 13, 2016 By Christina Vlahos in Books, Scholarship Roundup Tags: Christianity, Crusades, History of Religion, Islam	Leave a comment
In June, Routledge released "The Crusade in the Fifteenth Century: Converging and Competing Cultures," edited by Norman Housley (University of Leicester). The publisher's description follows:
Increasingly, historians acknowledge the significance of crusading activity in the fifteenth century, and they have started to explore the different ways in which it shaped contemporary European society. Just as important, however, was the range of interactions which took place between the three faith communities which were most affected by crusade, namely the Catholic and Orthodox worlds, and the adherents of Islam. Discussion of these interactions forms the theme of this book. Two essays consider the impact of the fall of Constantinople in 1453 on the conquering Ottomans and the conquered Byzantines. The next group of essays reviews different aspects of the crusading response to the Turks, ranging from Emperor Sigismund to Papal legates. The third set of contributions considers diplomatic and cultural interactions between Islam and Christianity, including attempts made to forge alliances of Christian and Muslim powers against the Ottomans. Last, a set of essays looks at what was arguably the most complex region of all for inter-faith relations, the Balkans, exploring the influence of crusading ideas in the eastern Adriatic, Bosnia and Romania. Viewed overall, this collection of essays makes a powerful contribution to breaking down the old and discredited view of monolithic and mutually exclusive "fortresses of faith". Nobody would question the extent and intensity of religious violence in fifteenth-century Europe, but this volume demonstrates that it was played out within a setting of turbulent diversity. Religious and ethnic identities were volatile, allegiances negotiable, and diplomacy, ideological exchange and human contact were constantly in operation between the period's major religious groupings.

When I arrived in Estonia in 2012 I met several performance artists such as Sandra Jogeva, Tannel Sarr, Ernest Truly, Mai Soote who were working out of the Polymer where I was undertaking a residency. Towards the end of my stay in Estonia I went on tour with these artists across the Baltics performing in several similar culture factories. We started at Polymer in Tallinn, then going on to Riga in Latvia and continuing on the journey to the Creature Live Art festival held in Kaunus and then finally doing a performance at The Contemporary Art Centre in Villuns, the capital of Lithuania. Whilst on tour with these artists I was able to observe their practice and learn new techniques of production.
When I returned to Estonia for the summer of 2013 I was inspired to create a physical performance piece that reflected the art and culture of the place. I wanted to engage the location in the work and also make a work that looked at using the body as the art object. So I decided to undertake a walking project between locations around Tallinn and translate the documentations of the process into digital media.
These video sequences are the generation of such a process as each location and destination that I walked I also filmed. The triangle became a way to signify the link between one destination and the next.
The whole project is site specific and based on a concept of place. It brought up the concept of how far away or close something is in our mind. As Estonia is on the other side of the world to Australia this issue of proximity seemed relevant to me as a foreigner in a distant land.

New stadium part of pro team's intent to grow rugby in Houston
(Houston Chronicle)
A week before the opening of AVEVA Stadium, construction workers were sweeping across the area to install the facility's gray and yellow seats and to clear debris from what will become its parking lot.
A year ago, the site — located in the Houston Sports Park — was a mud pit. But in a few days, it will officially open as just the second professional rugby stadium in the United States.
"We're incredibly excited," Houston SaberCats coach Justin Fitzpatrick said. "It's worth its weight in gold. This is going to be a real game changer for us."

So on occasion, I get a response from those who read my blog. When I wrote, "Lets Do Our Part To Lower The Cost Of Healthcare!" (part 1), I heard from a new friend who said that they were a part of those who would never be able to do so much to control their weight due to genetic predisposition- and this is what she heard from a physician. So I thought about this remark related to my post and it made me think that my original request of asking for everyone to do something to reduce obesity might have been a bit to grand. To open-ended if you will. Well, I am an advocate of baby steps- find out how a change may or may not affect the greater whole before going head and feet first (most of the time anyway). So I have a new request/comment/suggestion that should be a step in the right direction.
Since the beginning of August, I've been on a healthy eating plan. One that I hope will assist me in reaching a goal of cutting my Body Mass Index (BMI) in half within 120 days. To be honest, I'm not a fan of the BMI rating as it doesn't account for muscle properly, but you have to measure something, and where I'm trying to go, this may be helpful. So what about this eating plan is different from what I used to eat? For a week and a half, I've had 3 meals and 3 snacks a day and cut the junk out of my routine- with the exception of 1 cheat day a week- Saturday. So no sodas, no chips, cookies, candy and random snacks- all things I used to eat almost every day. I would validate to myself eating all that mess by working out and then would wonder why I have reached a plateau in dropping pounds.
In only 10 days of healthy eating, I honestly do "feel better;" replacing bad food with healthier options. I've been pretty good so far, but I'd be fibbing if I were to say i wasn't looking forward to Saturday.


It is true that science has made great advancement in its course but still it is unable to explain some mysteries of the universe. And the superstition finds its way where the mystery prevails.
A vast section of people are the victims of superstition for their ignorance even in those fields where the light of science has already reached. There are numerous examples of popular superstitions in our society. Belief in ghosts is traditional and so is the faith in astrology and palmistry.
If a man sneezes when somebody is going out on a journey, it is thought that the journey would be inauspicious. The sight of a crow crying on a dry branch of a tree or the hooting of an own at daytime and the moaning of a dog or a cat at night are regarded as very ominous.
The so-called civilized and elite persons also have some superstitions. They look upon 13 as an unlucky number.
But the evil effects of superstition mostly affect the illiterate people. The superstitious belief in the magical powers to cure diseases often takes a heavy toll of human life. The system of 'Sati' was a cruel superstition which is now, more or less, abolished. But another cruel practice, 'witchcraft', is till prevailing among the ignorant masses.
There is, however, a definite cure for superstition and that is education. If people are properly educated and encouraged to develop a scientific attitude and rational thinking there is no doubt that superstition will die a natural death.
We must do our best to remove all superstitions and ensure real progress of the nation. We should expect that scientific spirit must go deep within our social system and change our attitude from within.

COVID-19 virus survives on surfaces within thin film

WASHINGTON, November 24, 2020 — How does the COVID-19 virus manage to survive on surfaces? To find out, researchers in India are exploring the drying times of thin liquid films that persist on surfaces after most respiratory droplets evaporate.
While the drying time of typical respiratory droplets is on the order of seconds, the survival time of the COVID-19 virus on different surfaces within recent experiments was found to be on the order of hours. This discrepancy suggests an orders of magnitude difference in the time between droplet drying and the survival time of the COVID-19 virus on surfaces.
In Physics of Fluids, from AIP Publishing, Rajneesh Bhardwaj and Amit Agrawal, professors at IIT Bombay, describe how a nanometers-thick liquid film clings to the surface, due to London-van der Waals forces, which allows the COVID-19 virus to survive for hours.
"To describe this thin film, we used tools that are otherwise seldom used by researchers within the engineering realm," said Bhardwaj. "Specifically, we developed a computational model for the evaporating mass rate of the film as a function of disjoining and Laplace pressures inside the film, using the Hertz-Knudsen law, a well-established kinetic theory of gases."
The nanometric film is assumed to be like a pancake deposited onto a surface. The researchers briefly examined changes in drying time as a function of contact angle and surface type.
"Our model for the thin film transport shows that survival or drying time of a thin liquid film on a surface is on the order of hours and days, similar to what has been observed in measurements of the virus titer [the lowest concentration of virus that still infects cells]," said Agrawal. "It captures the relatively longer survival time on plastic and glass compared to metals."
The ability to predict the survival of a coronavirus on different surfaces can help prevent and contain the spread of COVID-19. This work provides insights into how the COVID-19 virus survives for hours or days on solid surfaces under ambient conditions.
"Our biggest surprise was that the drying time of this nanometric film is on the order of hours," said Bhardwaj. "It suggests the surface isn't completely dry, and the slowly evaporating nanometric film is providing the medium required for the survival of the coronavirus."
Since a longer survival time of the virus corresponds to increased chances of being infected, "it is desirable to disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as door handles or hand-held devices, and within hospitals and other areas prone to outbreaks," said Agrawal.
"We also recommend heating surfaces, because even short duration high temperatures, at which the surface is at a higher temperature than the ambient, can help evaporate the nanometric film and destroy the virus."
The article, "How coronavirus survives for days on surfaces," is authored by Rajneesh Bhardwaj and Amit Agrawal. It will appear in Physics of Fluids on Nov. 24, 2020 (DOI: 10.1063/5.0033306). After that date, it can be accessed at https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.0033306.
