Lions attack, kill suspected South African rhino poachers
By AT editor - 5 July 2018 at 11:43 pm
Officials at the Sibuya Game Reserve in South Africa say at least three people suspected to be rhino poachers entered their property, and an unknown number are dead after they were mauled and eaten by a pride of lions earlier this week.
"One of our anti-poaching dogs alerted her handler at about 4:30 a.m. Monday morning that something was amiss," said reserve owner Nick Fox in a statement. "At the same time the handler heard a loud commotion coming from the lions so he suspected that this was what had alerted her and was not concerned. It is not unusual to hear them at night."
By late afternoon on Tuesday, it became all too clear what troubled the lions: A reserve field guide notified Sibuya's anti-poaching unit after finding what appeared to be human remains strewn amid other gear.
"They were armed with, amongst other things, a high powered rifle with a silencer, an axe, wire cutters and had food supplies for a number of days – all the hallmarks of a gang intent on killing rhino and removing their horns," Fox said.
The investigation was turned over to the police and the Association of Eastern Cape Game Reserves anti-poaching authorities.
"Clearly, the poachers had walked into a pride of six lions and some, if not all had been killed," Fox said. "At this stage it is not clear exactly how many poachers were killed but the police forensic team continue to investigate."

Four Dollars, Almost Five: Intelligent design in the UK - a plea for attention!
Intelligent design in the UK - a plea for attention!
I signed up to receive email notifications from the Centre for Intelligent Design ages ago. This was just out of interest - to see what sort of things they are up to. Today I got an email from the director, Dr Alistair Noble, asking me if I would like him to give a talk free of charge. The letter is reproduced below. Keep in mind that this is coming from a movement that claims it is growing every day and that a paradigm shift is imminent.
The email subject title was "No fee for ID presentation from Dr Alastair Noble"
I am being increasingly asked to speak to groups about Intelligent Design and I am writing to say that I am committed to expanding this aspect of the work of C4ID. I would be happy, therefore, to speak at any event, anywhere in the UK, which you may wish to organise. I am also happy to participate in more intimate settings like a dinner or supper event.
Are we here by design or by chance?
Although these talks have differing emphases, each deals essentially with the evidence for design in nature. I also usually have some books and DVDs for sale.
If you wish to organise an event, please get in touch with me by email or call the Centre on 0141 331 1607. My PA, Rosalyn Goodfellow, will probably deal with your request. It would be helpful for scheduling if you could give me a few months' notice of your intentions.
I should say that the costs of this will be borne by me or by C4ID, though any contribution you can make will be welcome.
Does this really sound like the type of letter you would send out if you were truly being inundated with requests to give talks, as Dr Noble suggests? To me it sounds more like there is very little interest in ID at all, and this is a desperate cry for attention (and to hopefully flog a few DVDs).
We should invite him to speak at Skeptics in the Pub.
Hi there... I just wanna explain my company, Pelatihan SDM. Pelatihan SDM is a lembaga pelatihan sdm or network marketing and training information or training an employee that has worked with many consulting firms and training institutions.

The patent pending Blichmann false bottom combines the high efficiency of a perforated false bottom with the clog resistance of a slotted false bottom. These heavy duty false bottoms are recommended for the mash tun only when used in the boil kettle, the solid construction can disrupt the convection currents in the kettle, interfering with the boil and causing a risk of scorching. Blichmann recommends the Hopblocker for use in the boil kettle.

Much regretted passing of William ('Bruno') Coghlan
The late William ('Bruno') Coghlan
With great regret we record the death, on Friday last, 18 February, of William 'Bruno' Coghlan of Beech Lawns, Mullingar, after a short illness, in the care of the nurses and staff in Sancta Maria Nursing Home, Kinnegad, surrounded by his wife Phil and children, Finian, Derek, Fergal and Mary.
A very well known personality, the late Mr. Coghlan was born in 1934 and was a native of Castlepollard, where his father was a noted schoolteacher.
He received his secondary education at St. Finian's College, Mullingar, and in his younger days, he was a good footballer. He played for Westmeath in the early 1950s and was on the county minor side that reached the Leinster final in 1952. He retained his interest in the game and in Westmeath GAA affairs all his life.
Throughout his career, Mr. Coghlan worked with Bórd na Mona in the accountancy section, and he served for two terms as a worker-director with the company, on the second occasion as a government appointee.

Q: Why does Safari keep adding a successively larger margin after each CSS page break? I am trying to print a number of individual blocks in a single HTML page and breaking at the page boundary with "page-break-after:always". However each page printed has a slightly larger header margin applied. I have it down to the following test code that prints only "Hello World" and by page 145, it's a quarter down the page.

This is only an issue with WebKit based browsers. Any insight into fixing this issue in Safari is greatly appreciated.
Update: It's was a bug in WebKit that is now fixed in the latest nightly build "r103857". Thank you for the guidance.

Het Navajo National Monument is een federaal beschermd gebied in de Amerikaanse staat Arizona dat erkend is als nationaal monument. Het wordt beheerd door de National Park Service.

Navajo National Monument ligt bij U.S. Route 160, 80 km ten noordoosten van Tuba City en 36 km ten zuidwesten van Kayenta. Het is genoemd naar het volk dat er nu leeft, de Navajo. Het gebied bewaart Betatakin (huis op een richel), Keet Seel (gebroken potten) en Inscription House voor het nageslacht. Het zijn goedbewaarde onderkomens die honderden jaren geleden werden gebouwd door de Pueblo-indianen, ook Anasazi genoemd. In de 21e eeuw leven de Navajo op de rotswanden en de terrassen van de Tsegi Canyon naast resten van de beschaving die in de 14e eeuw verdween. Andere indianenvolkeren zoals de Hopi, Zuni en Paiute hebben ook banden met dit gebied.

Rond 1200 was deze streek bewoond door de Pueblo die landbouw bedreven maar ook katoen, zeeschelpen, turkoois en papegaaiveren verhandelden. Alhoewel het er toen weinig regende was er toch voldoende water aanwezig. Rond 1300 trad er een periode van droogte in die de bewoners verplichtte om deze omgeving te verlaten. De streek werd op het einde van de 19e eeuw herontdekt en kreeg te maken met vernielingen en plundering. De Antiquities Act van 1906 zorgde voor de definitieve bescherming. Navajo National Monument werd in 1909 opgericht.

Wandelpaden
Via een aantal paden (trails) kan Navajo National Monument en de Tsegi Canyon worden verkend:
 Sandal Trail: een 2 km lang pad vanaf het bezoekerscentrum dat naar de zuidelijke rand van de canyon leidt. Van hieruit heeft de bezoeker uitzicht op Betatakin aan de overzijde. Hier leefden tussen 1250 en 1300 75 tot 100 Pueblo's die hier beschutting vonden in 135 kamers. De alkoof is 113 m breed, 138 m hoog en 41 m diep.
 Aspen Trail: het pad voert de bezoeker 100 m lager naar een bos van ratelpopulieren, de habitat van de bedreigde gevlekte bosuil.
 Betatakin/Talastima: een bezoek aan Betatakin kan enkel via reservatie en met begeleiding van een ranger via een 8 km lange, zware wandeling met een hoogteverschil van 250 m. Talastima is een Hopiwoord voor plaats van de blauwe maiskolven.
 Keet Seel/Kawestima: een 27 km lang pad met een hoogteverschil van meer dan 300 m leidt naar een van de best bewaarde indianenhuizen in Navajo sandstone in het zuidwesten van de Verenigde Staten. Keet Steel/Kawestima was veel langer bewoond dan Betatakin, reeds vanaf 950. Toen de plek rond 1300 werd verlaten lieten de bewoners de voorraadpotten achter, gevuld met mais alsof ze erop rekenden hier ooit terug te keren.

Geologie
De bovenste aardlagen hier bestaan uit Navajo sandstone, een zandsteenlaag gevormd uit gigantische zandduinen. Ze werden hier afgezet, gevormd en vervormd door de wind in een zeer droge periode, ongeveer 180 miljoen jaar geleden. Sijpelend water drong door de laag en loste het calciumcarbonaat op waardoor de zandsteen verbrokkelde, in horizontale lagen afbrak en de boogvormige alkoven ontstonden.

Onder deze zandsteen ligt een laag oranjegeel tot purper gekleurd Kayenta formation. Deze formatie werd aangevoerd door zoetwaterstromen, 190 miljoen jaar geleden. Daaronder ligt de Wingate sandstone, 210 miljoen jaar oud.

Kerala After Floods: Tourism hit with animal carcasses on backwaters, hill stations cut off; Rs 25,165 cr needed for rebuilding
The stain of death and devastation wrought by Kerala's worst flood in a century will take longer than a season to wash away.
Reuters August 29, 2018 11:57:25 IST
New Delhi/Alapuzzha: More than a week after the floodwater began subsiding, animal carcasses are still floating in Kerala's backwaters, and in places a nauseating stench rises like a wall when the wake from a passing boat breaks the surface. These inland lagoons running parallel to the coast are one of the biggest tourist draws in India's most southwesterly state, but the stain of death and devastation wrought by Kerala's worst flood in a century will take longer than a season to wash away.
The quaint towns and villages scattered between the lush forests and paddy fields bordering the backwaters are now communities in despair.
Houses in low-lying areas are still submerged, roads are waterlogged and the sewage from drains have washed into channels that are too slow-moving to effectively flush out the effluent.

Sudarsanan TK, a houseboat owner in the town of Alappuzha, had been looking forward to the peak tourist season, but as his home disappeared under 2.5 metres (eight foot) of water his family now have to live aboard the boat he would otherwise be renting to tourists from Europe, China, Malaysia and India.
"I've nothing left, but this houseboat. I don't know how I can repay my bank loan in this condition. The bank may take back my boat. I will have nothing at all then," Sudarsanan, a 64-year-old father of two, told Reuters.
Some 1,500 houseboats are tied up at Alappuzha, going nowhere, with many of the owners still paying off loans taken to buy the boats.
Sudarsanan owes about $8,600 on the loan taken eight years ago to buy the boat, and he could have earned up to $7,000 by December if the deluge hadn't washed away his hopes.
Hundreds of people perished in the flood and more than one million of Kerala's 35 million people were forced to abandon their homes and take shelter in relief camps.
Blessed with natural beauty, fertile land and bountiful seas, Kerala has been dubbed "God's own country" by its people, but the Marxists running the state government reckon it will need $3.57 billion to rebuild over the next two years.
"Kerala's GDP growth may fall by 2 percent," state Finance Minister TM Thomas Isaac told Reuters, forecasting growth of 6 percent for the financial year ending next March.
Crops have been lost, the construction industry was dead for a month, and tourism, which contributes 10 percent of the state's economy but accounts for about 25 percent of jobs creation, has been badly hit.
Festival washout
For discerning tourists looking for a more laidback Indian experience, Kerala has it all -- long sandy beaches, lazy waterways, charming, historic towns like Kochi and the cool, forested hills of the Western Ghats.
Kerala doesn't draw numbers like the northern tourist circuit, the so-called "Golden Triangle" running from New Delhi to the Taj Mahal in Agra, and Jaipur's palaces in the desert state of Rajasthan, but it has carved out a sizable niche.
Last year, one million foreigners visited Kerala, along with 15 million domestic tourists, but state government and industry officials reckon the flood will result in losses for the tourism sector of $357 million.
The floods struck just as Kerala was gearing up for Onam, the harvest festival which is one of the highlights of the state's cultural calendar.
Festivities, including the spectacular Vallam Kali races involving traditional war canoes, some manned by more than 100 paddlers, were postponed.
"Kerala has lost out on one of the best seasons, as the calamity struck during the 10-day run-up to Onam," said Ranjini Nambiar, who heads a travel consultancy.
Thousands of volunteers have joined a clean-up campaign mounted by the state, and Shilendran M, an executive with the CGH Earth luxury hotel chain, expected some kind of order to be restored within the next few weeks.
"The state administration is working on a war footing," said Shilendran, whose group has more than a dozen properties in Kerala. "We are limping back to normal."
Hardly anywhere in the state escaped the calamity. Ernakulam district, the biggest industrial and tourism contributor to Kerala's economy and home to the historic city of Kochi, suffered major damage, and its busy international airport was shut for nearly two weeks.
Munnar, a hill resort overlooking the tea and cardamom plantations high in the Ghats was cut off, as bridges were washed away and landslides blocked roads.
Once every dozen years a bright purplish-blue bell-shaped flower called the Neelakurinji, blossoms on the slopes around Munnar--and this was one of those years.
The state tourism had marketed 2018 as the Kurunji year, but people in Kerala are more likely to remember the mud.

Congratulations to the following year8 students who came runners up in the county tournament. Abbie Bourton, Megan Free, Isabel Bergendorff, Holly Yates, Sophie Swallow, Rosie Dillion, Nel Michniewska, Keira Moore, Niamh Quinn & Hannah Chevaussut . Yet again the girls really impressed me with their overall standard of play. The batting was phenomenal scoring 42 rounders in 5 short games along with their solid fielding preventing the opposition from scoring only 26 rounders in total. We played Campion, Myton A & B, and Kingsley once in the first round and again in the final where they narrowly beat us. Thank you girls you are a pleasure to be with and a credit to Southam College.

I love having soups all year round but there is something about this time of the year which is perfect for soups. I wanted to share with y'all one of my family favourite and one that is perfect for this time of year as it uses seasonal vegetables.
Please note that you can also use salt, but due to my family health problems we do not cook with salt in any of our meals.
Peel and chop the pumpkin into chunk. Then peel and slice the onions.
Add olive oil, your copped leaks onions garlic and black pepper and cook until the onions soften.
Reheat and serve with some fresh herbs and some garlic bread.
This will make enough to feed 8-10 people. Its so simple to make and sometimes when we have parsnip at home I normally add in one or two as well for extra flavouring. But this is the perfect winter soup for me as it used up the pumpkin that we had left over from the autumn harvest.
Let me know if you try it and hashtag it #issiepumpkinsoup for me see.
Happy Sunday everyone and I will talk to y'all soon.

Q: OpenCV - findChessboardCorners "occasionally" fails when detecting high resolution image? First of all, I understand this question has been asked several times at here.
FindChessboardCorners cannot detect chessboard on very large images by long focal length lens
Opencv corners detection for High resolution images
However, my situation is a little bit different.
My first experiment is retrieving sequential images of 3264 x 2448 from a Webcam which supports resolution this high, and uses findChessboardCorners to detect the corners on a pattern I placed.
Gladly it works! So I move to next experiment.(See success cases below, I cropped them)

This time I try to project a pattern from a projector of my own to a clean board and detect it, Sadly I failed at here.(Example below, 2592 x 1944)

The two experiments retrieves similar images(I think so), but how come one succeeds and the other one won't? Especially the succeed one has the highest resolution.
I also tried adjust the size of the pattern that projector projects, didn't work.
Adjust the distance of the board, didn't work.
Adjust the camera settings, from lighter to darker, didn't work.
By the way, I suppose the resolution I choose affects the camera intrinsic parameters, so "resize" the image shouldn't be a good idea right? Since I require parameters under high resolution.

Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019: MS Dhoni played a stellar knock of an unbeaten 75 runs in Chennai Super Kings' 8-run win over Rajasthan Royals at the Chepauk on Sunday.
MS Dhoni played a brilliant knock against Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2019 on Sunday to guide his team Chennai Super Kings to a third straight win in the tournament. It was a Dhoni classic at the Chepauk as the CSK skipper notched up his highest individual score at the venue with an unbeaten 75 off 46 balls. His innings was laced with 4 fours and 4 sixes as he single-handedly propelled CSK to a respectable score on a topsy-turvy Chepauk track.
Dhoni came out to bat with CSK reeling at 27/3 inside five overs. The 37-year-old started cautiously and timed his innings to perfection, changing gears towards the end of the innings to elevate his team to a challenging total. Dhoni stitched a partnership of 61 runs with Suresh Raina (36) for the second wicket before adding another 66 runs for the 5th wicket with Dwayne Bravo (27). He targeted Jaydev Unadkat in the final over to slam hat-trick of sixes off him and get 28 runs from the over.
Dhoni's astounding efforts helped CSK post a strong 175/5 on the board in 20 overs as his innings was hailed by many on Twitter. Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag also had a cheeky tweet for Dhoni as he termed the veteran wicket-keeper's knock as "Whistle Todu and Whistle Fodu."
"Not Whistle Podu, but that was Whistle Todu and Whistle Fodu from Dhoni.Very very good to see #CSKvRR," tweeted Sehwag as the Chepauk witnessed a Dhoni special.
Dhoni started off steadily and paced his innings to perfection. He allowed both Raina and Bravo to play the anchor role while playing second-fiddle to them during the respective partnerships. Dhoni had scored 33 off 30 balls while arresting a collapse before adding a late flourish. He scored 42 runs off the last 16 deliveries he faced targeting Unadkat and Dhawal Kulkarni.
Chennai bowlers restricted Rajasthan Royals on 167/8 in 20 overs with Bravo defending 12 runs off the last over to make it three wins in three games for their side.

Chlorine degassing during the lava dome-building eruption of Mount St Helens, USA, 2004-2005
Edmonds, M. and McGee, K. A. and Doukas, M. (2008) Chlorine degassing during the lava dome-building eruption of Mount St Helens, USA, 2004-2005. In: Volcano Rekindled: the first year of renewed eruption at Mount St Helens, 2004-2005. USGS Professional Papers (1750). United States Geological Survey, Colorado, pp. 573-592.
Edmonds_USGS_PP_1750_char27_2008.pdf
Remote measurements of volcanic gases from the Mount St. Helens lava dome were carried out using Open-Path Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy on August 31, 2005. Measurements were performed at a site ~1 km from the lava dome, which was used as a source of IR radiation. On average, during the period of measurement, the volcanic gas contained 99 mol percent H2O, 0.78 percent CO2, 0.095 percent HCl, 0.085 percent SO2, 0.027 percent HF, 4.8×10-4 percent CO, and 2.5×10-4 percent COS close to the active vent. The fluxes of these species, constrained by synchronous measurements of SO2 flux, were 7,200 t/d H2O, 140 t/d CO2, 22 t/d SO2, 14 t/d HCl, 2.0 t/d HF, 54 kg/d CO, and 59 kg/d COS, ±20 percent. Observations of H2O/Cl in the vapor and melt are compared to models of closed- and open-system degassing and to models where a closed system dominates to depths as shallow as ~1 km, and gases are then allowed to escape through a permeable bubble network. Although several features are consistent with this model—for example, (1) H2O/Cl in the gases emitted from stagnant parts of the lava dome, (2) the concentration of Cl in the matrix glass of erupted dacite, and (3) the glass H2O/Cl—the gases emitted from the active part of the lava dome have much higher H2O/Cl than expected. These higher H2O/Cl levels result from a combination of two factors (1) the addition of substantial amounts of ground water or glacier-derived H2O to the gases at shallow depths, such that only ~10 mol percent of the measured H2O is magmatic, and (or) (2) some Cl present as alkali chloride (NaCl and KCl) in the gas phase. The mean molar Cl/S is similar to gases measured at other silicic subduction-zone volcanoes during effusive activity; this may be due to the influence of Cl in the vapor on S solubility in the melt, which produces a solubility maximum for S at vapor Cl/S

Now it is in the hands of our animators, who will take the artists hard work and destroy it! It has been featured in several video game publications, including direct attention from Valve Corporation themselves. Freeman survives, finds other survivors, and makes his way to the surface with the protection of his hazard suit to get help. The voice acting is great, but not for everyone.
Unfortunately, the dying animation in certain situations look ridiculous. Log in to finish rating Black Mesa. You will re-visit the inaugural role of Gordon Freeman and his memorable journey through the Black Mesa Research Facility.
System Requirements Windows. For instance, the dying scientist in the beginning of Blast Pit has an exaggerated death animation, being too convulsive.
Steam Cloud, Steam Workshop and partial controller support! Health and battery packs can be found scattered through the game, as well as stations that can recharge either health or suit charge. Gonarch Our biggest effort went into getting the entirety of the Gonarch chapter arted. Gifting on Steam The Steam Community.
It's one of the best mods ever made and a package that offers every Half-Life fan what they want. In original game the chapter took a lot to be completed, even after many times playing. The all-new soundtrack, voice acting, choreography and dialogue create a more expansive and immersive experience than ever before! Expect detailed environments to explore, a huge cast of characters and experimental weaponry.
Black Mesa (video game)
For a mod, it does everything very well. Off-topic Review Activity.
Summary Most Helpful Recent Funny. But more importantly, it's a very special and entertaining look into the history of shooters. The Source engine is graphically more advanced than the GoldSrc engine used for the original versions.
In gameplay terms the mod brings some things not seen in any Half-Life game, the Gibing System. By Metascore By user score.
They created this game save for a few sound bites, etc from the ground up - in an impressive feat not many could accomplish. The performance however isn't really good. The shotgun also feels very light but it really powerful in fact. The Black Mesa game hub and forums will be the primary points of interaction with our users.
The logic behind the damage makes no sense either. The addition of the female scientist is also a good thing, and their voices fits perfectly. We should applaud an excellent work made for free by fans of the original game.
When enabled, off-topic review activity will be filtered out. There are stretches of the game that are just laughably easy or where nothing happens at all. Black Mesa is Half-Life, only better. We are really happy with the progress we made this month.
The original Half Life was a clever, nuanced game that was as much about exploring as it was about click and shoot. Complete Steam Integration - Collect the full set of trading cards, backgrounds, emoticons, and achievements! Excluding Off-topic Review Activity.
On that note, the graphics are not even that great. They also released images, videos, and concept art during the project's development. This price will not change after we move out of Early Access. It also fixed many bugs in both singleplayer and multiplayer.
Black Mesa is a lot of things. The levels like said before, are very similar, but some are different, such as On a Rail which is a lot shorter, which is a bit disappointing, but it eventually fits better. Today, Kemp continues his work to finish the Xen chapters. Does not support the Nouveau display driver.
Black Mesa is a great, very polished and totally free remake of the classic Half Life. Black Mesa Development Team. During its development, Black Mesa has received attention from several video game publications. It's also a chance for newcomers to get to know a game that has been put on a pedestal over the years, rrb model papers in telugu in a relatively modern way.

This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. The best game remaster I have seen in years! Post-apocalyptic indie game. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Relive Half-Life, Valve Software's revolutionary debut, and experience the game that raised the bar for the entire game industry all over again!
In addition, our ambitions go beyond the original Xen chapters found in Half-Life. Xen is not part of the Early Access release, but will be included as a free update when it is ready.

First from a box of 1930's photos taken by a gifted amatuer photographer, John Buckley. John David Buckley was a NZR train driver with a passion for photography. While the Buckley family was living in Paekakariki he took many photos of the construction 1934 – 1940 of the Paremata/Plimmerton/Pukerua/Paekakariki road (Centennial Highway) and the double tracking and electrification of the main trunk railway to Paekakariki. This photo from 1936 shows Goat Point with a view north to Plimmerton. A Steam locomotive pulls a passenger train pass the workers.

Waterstone site's historical significance captured
For many in and around Wellesley, the Grossman's name has special significance. The Grossman family business began in the late 1800s when Louis Grossman left Russia to pursue the American dream. The Grossman's first piece of property was in Quincy, purchased in 1907. The business later expanded across New England, and came to Wellesley in the 1960s. The Waterstone at Wellesley site was once home to a Grossman's hardware store, which had been vacant for 16 years before it was cleared when work on Waterstone began.
Waterstone designers and developers plan to incorporate the historical significance of the Grossman legacy into the design of the community, from using the same iconic orange and white colors in certain portions of the design to utilizing portions of brick from the store in the actual construction. The large, iconic "Grossman's" sign, though, will have a particularly special use: it was donated to the Quincy Historical Society several months ago. The Quincy Historical Society was excited to receive a portion of the massive sign, said Executive Director Ed Fitzgerald. The Grossman's business is "probably the biggest regional success story," Fitzgerald said. They offered not only building materials but were a "vanguard of home improvement" and a precursor to companies like Home Depot and Lowes, he said. There is a strong identification with the Grossman name for anyone in the Quincy area, especially those 40 and older, Fitzgerald said. "It's a bit of a catch," he said of the sign. "There isn't a whole lot of stuff from that time so we were glad to take advantage of this opportunity." The Quincy Historical Society is holding the sign in storage while officials decide what its best use is, Fitzgerald said. It may become an exhibit in a museum, or it could be used in a public space in Quincy as a way to partner the old with the new. Grossman's now exists as The Grossman Companies, a real estate management, investment, and development company with properties across New England. The company's core group of employees is headquartered in Quincy.

The museum building was once occupied by the family of the late Terence McSwiney, martyred Lord Mayor of Cork and the museum was officially opened in 1965 by Maire MacSwiney Brugha daughter of Terence McSwiney and named the "The Terence McSwiney Memorial Museum".
" Extensive collection pictures, artefacts, documents, etc., relating to the late Terence MacSwiney, martyred Lord Mayor of Cork, whose descendants came, and still reside, in the immediate area.
" Exhibition of equipment , uniforms, literature, etc. from The War of Independence, particularly representing the Kilmichael Ambush, including "Crossley Tender" wheel presented by the late General Tom Barry, etc.
" Ambush layout, pictures, artefacts, etc. relating to the General Michael Collins / Bealnablath ambush.
" The complete kitchen, including seats, table, dresser, etc., of An tAthair Peadair O'Laoghaire, author of, "Séadhna" and other contemporary Irish books.
" Photographs, and sports equipment and other GAA-related memorabilia dating back to the formation of the organisation.
" Re-created smithy with extensive collection of tools, bellows, etc.
" Various pre-Christian artefacts recovered from Kilmurry and it's hinterland.
" Archaeological and ecclesiastical artefacts, farm tools and equipment, etc., dating back to pre-history.
The society is committed to maintaining, and where necessary restoring, (under professional supervision), the rich treasure of archaeological and historical sites in the Kilmurry area.
During Summer months the society run conducted visits to sites of local historical and heritage interest, it is planned to extend these visits to other museums in Cork county.
The KILMURRY HISTORICAL & ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY NEWSLETTER is produced bi-annually, approx. 500 copies are distributed by members on a free-of-charge through local outlets throughout the parish.
Our display of artefacts has now outgrown the capacity of the present museum to display and preserve them, the society plans re-locate the museum to a new, purpose-built, building in the village that will provide the space and environmental control facilities required to develop and extend our current exhibition and storage capacity.
Sundays - Easter to Oct. 31, 1400- 1730.
New members, particularly welcome, you are welcome to call to one of our committee meetings these are held on the first Friday of the month in Kilmurry GAA pavilion, 9 p.m.


The set up of an online business brings along every day challenges as you have to improve the standard of your business activities with each passing month. For this reason, it is very essential to channelize the efforts of your manpower to core activities instead of non-core activities.
This significantly helps in growth of your business and helps the organization to achieve good results. The purpose of non-core activities is to support the core activities in order to help the business grow. Data entry is considered one of the most imperative non-core activities that are inevitable. This is the reason that the need to outsource a data entry company has increased tremendously.
e-Celtic with the help of advanced techniques provides services such as data entry, data processing, scanning, and data conversion. It has set up an internal team to introduce latest software's and augment productivity and efficiency.
No matter what kind of data entry work is needed by your organization, everything will be managed by your data entry company. Whether you are a start-up company or a global organization, data entry outsourcing helps strategically to attain managerial brilliance so that you get benefit from the company success.

Q: Is there a cleaner way to rerun an api call than using window.setInterval() than I am doing here? I'm not very familiar with javascript or programming at all for that matter. However although, I did managed to accomplish the difficult task for me. I am wondering, Is there a proper or more pragmatic way of doing this? Thank you in advance for your help. This is for a queue management system if anyone was wondering.
var requestURL = 'https://api.qminder.com/v1/tickets/search/?rest-api-key=APIKEY'
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open('GET', requestURL);
request.responseType = 'json';
request.send();
request.onload = function() {
  var customers = request.response;
  console.log(customers.data)

  x = []

  for (var i = 0; i < customers.data.length; i++) {

    console.log(customers.data[i].status);

    if (customers.data[i].status == "NEW") {
      x.push(customers.data[i])
    }
  }

  var html = '
';
  for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
    html += '
' + x[i].firstName + '
';
    console.log(x[i].firstName)
  }
  html += '
';
  document.getElementById("names").innerHTML = html;

}

window.setInterval(function() {
  var requestURL = 'https://api.qminder.com/v1/tickets/search/?rest-api-key=APIKEY'
  var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
  request.open('GET', requestURL);
  request.responseType = 'json';
  request.send();
  request.onload = function() {
    var customers = request.response;
    console.log(customers.data)

    x = []

    for (var i = 0; i < customers.data.length; i++) {

      console.log(customers.data[i].status);

      if (customers.data[i].status == "NEW") {
        x.push(customers.data[i])
      }
    }

    var html = '
';
    for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
      html += '
' + x[i].firstName + '
';
      console.log(x[i].firstName)
    }
    html += '
';
    document.getElementById("names").innerHTML = html;

  }
}, 2000);

A: In your case DRY - Don't repeat yourself
function requestIt() {
  var requestURL = 'https://api.qminder.com/v1/tickets/search/?rest-api-key=APIKEY'
  var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
  request.open('GET', requestURL);
  request.responseType = 'json';
  request.onload = function() {
    var customers = request.response;
    console.log(customers.data)

    x = []

    for (var i = 0; i < customers.data.length; i++) {

      console.log(customers.data[i].status);

      if (customers.data[i].status == "NEW") {
        x.push(customers.data[i])
      }
    }

    var html = '
';
    for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
      html += '
' + x[i].firstName + '
';
      console.log(x[i].firstName)
    }
    html += '
';
    document.getElementById("names").innerHTML = html;

  }
  request.send(); // do not send before the onload has been defined
}
requestIt(); // first call
window.setInterval(requestIt, 2000);

However I would prefer installing jQuery just for this and NOT use interval in case the server blocks
var requestURL = 'https://api.qminder.com/v1/tickets/search/?rest-api-key=APIKEY'

function requestIt() {
  $.get(requestURL, customers => {
    console.log(customers.data);
    var html = ['
'];
    customers.data.filter(data => data.status == "NEW")
      .forEach(x => html.push('
' + x.firstName + '
'))
    )
    html.push('
')
    $("#names").html(html.join(""));
    setTimeout(requestIt,2000);
  })
}
requestIt();

A: You can call the function in a row, using setTimeout and waiting for the request to finish
var timeoutPtr;

/**
 * Execute a request, can take DELTA miliseconds
 */
function executeRequest() {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    var request = new XMLHttpRequest();

    // ...

    request.onload = function() {
      // ...

      resolve();
    };

    request.send();
  });
}

/**
 * Execute the request, when it's over, wait 2s and execute it again
 * and again, and again...
 */
function executeRequestInARow() {
  // In case you call executeRequestInRow multiple time
  clearTimeout(timeoutPtr);

  executeRequest()
    .then(() => {
      timeoutPtr = setTimeout(function() {
        executeRequestInARow();
      }, 2000);
    });
}

executeRequestInARow();


Through our arts program, EFA supports arts-driven approaches to economic and social revitalization of under-resourced communities. By investing in creative projects and cultural institutions, EFA hopes to encourage artistic and community collaboration, deepen local pride, and champion the arts as an economic driver. To support these long-term projects, EFA targets its grantmaking to work deeply in specific communities and regions.
EFA's arts program supports creative placemaking -- working in strategic partnership with identified communities to make long-term change through arts and culture. The arts program believes in the power of information sharing. We encourage our grantees and artists to exchange their ideas, inspirations -- even their setbacks -- in order to improve the projects they're currently working on, as well as projects to come.
EFA's arts program focuses on places that have historically lacked strong philanthropic support. Currently the regions of focus are the Black Belt of Alabama and Central Appalachia.
We believe that creativity has an integral role to play in community revitalization. Artists, in partnership with communities, can answer civic needs in a way that will build local pride and promote social vibrancy.
Through the integration of art into civic life, we support revitalizing the social and economic fabric of communities and the sustainability of a creative society--one in which the arts play an important part in the way problems are solved.

Chandler, AZ August 13, 2013 – Creators of Luca Lashes® LLC's multilingual eBook and app series are offering an "Activities for Kids" section on their website to provide free non-technology activities to entertain young children. The activities, like the eBooks and apps, are based on a young boy named Luca whose magical eyelashes help make him brave. The series helps turn "fearful firsts" into educational experiences, whether it is a child's first haircut, first dentist visit, first swimming lesson, and more.
• Connect the Dots Game – Children can work on shape recognition, while they try to form some of Luca's favorite objects, such as Pete's dog bone and Luca's life preserver.
• Coloring Sheets – Scenes of Luca at the dentist, hair salon, and more are available for children to color. Children will enhance their artistic abilities and improve motor skills simultaneously.
• Mazes – These mazes for kids are a fun way to work on problem solving and motor skills as they navigate through a swimming pool to find Luca's goggles, or a giant tooth to find his toothbrush.
• Find the Difference – Children learn to pay attention to detail, while determining the discrepancies between various side-by-side images of different Luca Lashes' settings.
• Find It! – While searching for hidden images based of listed words such as "Pencil," "Comb," or "Spoon," children will begin to develop reading comprehension and logic skills.
• Review – After reading Luca Lashes® and his First Haircut, parents can test their child's memory with a review question like "What four things did Luca see on his trip to the hair salon?" The printable picture sheets help children identify the images.
• Cut and Paste – For an easy arts and crafts session, children can cut out, then put together Luca's snowman. Toddlers will not only have a fun activity, they will also learn spatial reasoning and further develop motor skills.
• Silly Things – Build logic skills for children as they ask themselves "What doesn't belong or what is out of place?" in various scenes with Luca.
All of the activities can be downloaded in PDF or JPG formats and printed for free. Parents can begin the fun today by visiting the "Activities for Kids" section on the Luca Lashes website here.
Created by long-time educators Nicole and Damir Fonovich, the Luca Lashes® eBook and app series were inspired by their little boy, Lucas, and their desire to help him be brave in all his childhood discoveries. Many children fear the unknown, but with the help of a good book, and Luca's magic lashes, they too can overcome their fears and learn from the world around them. All Luca Lashes stories are perfect for children under four years of age, as well as older children who either need additional coaching on conquering first experiences or those learning new languages.
Interested readers can familiarize themselves with the Luca Lashes® series for free by downloading the first app in the series, Luca Lashes®, the Brown-Eyed Boy with the Magic Eyelashes on iTunes, Google play, the Amazon App Store, or NOOK.


It looks like Omarosa just can't get a break. Last year her "black card" was revoked and then people said if they had a cookout she would not be invited. Now that she is out of the White House and has a book out, I can't believe how many people have said they will not buy the book and if they got it for free they would not read it. Frankly, I look forward to reading it and reporting back to you on what new information I might be able to share with you.
It kind of reminds me of the book, "Good Girl Bad Girl: An Insider's Biography of Whitney Houston" by Kevin Ammons with Nancy Bacon. No one wanted to hear anything bad about Whitney Houston. The author was criticized and the book was taken out of print. Thank goodness I have held on to my copy.
Let's get back to "Unhinged" by Omarosa Manigault Newman. I was wondering what would happen when she was let go last year. I thought she would just wind up on another reality show and she did. She made an appearance on "Celebrity Big Brother" and whispered to some of her castmates that she had a story to tell. Well girlfriend, seems like she has a lot to tell and lots of taped information to share with everyone. I'm curious as to what method she used to tape the information, especially the conversation that was had when she was let go. I'll bet she was using an ink pen recorder or perhaps a broach, maybe something planted in her hair. I hope this does not lead to her demise. She is swimming with some pretty big fish, I hope she has protection.
For anyone who thinks I am talking about Black women in general, I am not. I am talking about Omarosa only. This woman is a reality show queen and just a reminder the first episode of "The Apprentice" was her first reality show. That was followed by "The Ultimate Merger," "The Surreal Life," "Battle of the Network Reality Stars" and then she was in the movie "Knock em Dead" featuring Rae Dawn Chong, Anne-Marie Johnson and Phil Morris. In this movie three rival actresses and their crew, desperate and hating each other, reunite for a horror movie sequel when someone starts killing them off just like in their movie. Critics say this is a bitchy, raunchy, comedy mystery.
I just found out about this movie. It was filmed in 2014 and was not rated very high. It sounds like fun and I just want to see if Omarosa can actually act or is she a one-dimensional actress. I wonder what her husband, the preacher, thinks of the book and what kind of first lady she is at the church. Does she actually have time to attend? Her husband, John Allen Newman, is the head pastor of the Sanctuary @ Mt. Calvary in Jacksonville. They met while Omarosa was teaching at Howard University.

THANK YOU PHILADELPHIA! | What is it?
Resurrect Dead has finished its first Philly run. Considering that we sold out 4 shows in a 360 seat theater and came very close to selling out the remaining 2, it would seem that another run would be a good idea. No word on that yet though.
And by the way… all those people came out without a review from Philly's increasingly irrelevant print media. But anyway, Thanks Philadelphia!
But in the end, what does it matter? Philly crushed NY in ticket sales.

In Imitation Richard Mille
Author Hunter BlackPosted on January 10, 2023 Leave a comment
While most of Luminox's current lineup has a modern and tactical overall aesthetic, these two new Pilot series watches almost have a vintage design element to them, which only makes sense considering that they were inspired by legendary Lockheed airplanes from the 1940s. This style has been done many times before. When you can make a big profit on a watch and you have more important things to take care of financially, there will not be much regret later on. With the rotor assembly removed you can see that this movement looks a lot like the 822 that I just did the other day. It's clear that Audemars Piguet prioritizes the Houses as the top destinations for those interested in the brand. The crown is well protected by prominent crown guards and is nicely detailed with the Hamtun Watches logo. After unscrewing, I found it Fake Richard Mille easier to pull out from the underside where there is a wider opening in the crown guards and without the protrusion of the bezel. You'll notice that the date window lines up with the crown and while I recognize that some folks don't like that particular arrangement I think it works Fake Richard Mille on this watch. The screw down crown had a bit of grit but I never had trouble engaging the threads. The Presage dials are constantly evolving and at times feature an "open heart" allowing the wearer to see the automatic movement in richard mille fakes action. The Perigraph Bronze is driven by a 4 Hz richard mille replica ebay automatic movement visible through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback. Based on ETA 2824-2 or Sellita 200-1, it offers an autonomy of 38 hours. Their flagship whiskey comes as a result of a richard mille rm 027 tourbillon replica triple-casked maturation process, which uses a combination of virgin casks, medium char, and seasoned casks. The PanoMatic Luna from Glashutte Original is a 50-piece special edition that the German brand designed as a gift for the International Day of the Kiss July 6, 2018. Studded with diamonds and rubies, it features a white mother-of-pearl dial with the opening of the romantic moon phase at 2 o'clock and the characteristic Panorama Date just below it. The in-house Calibre 90-12 automatic movement is visible through the sapphire crystal case back. The watch is enhanced by a radiant red Louisiana alligator leather strap. Read the full article.
Chris is retiring the Riccardo with its Sea-Gull ST19, and says he has fake richard mille no plans for another chronograph, either mechanical or quartz. Instead, he will focus on high quality and easily sourced automatic movements fromMiyota or Seiko, like the high-beat Miyota 9xxx series and the new Seiko 4r36 NH series. High-beat models like the Acionna will be at the top of the brand's price range while the more affordable Seiko-based models like the Spectre will anchor it.

This latest edition turns ONE RS into a powerful 6K camera capable richard mille bubba watson replica of impressive performance even in low light. The difference lies in where the numbers are. On the latter topic, we love our seafood dive bars, but we do the occasional decent spot as well. Yes, it's large and thick – over 15mm – but that's the whole concept of this collection. Visible through the screw-down case back with transparent sapphire crystal, the 4 Hz 28, 800 vibrations per hour automatic movement – Chronoswiss caliber C. 301 – features a stop seconds function and offers a power reserve of 42 hours. Like the dial, the skeletonized rotor is improved by a blue CVD coating.

I just got one of these for my 40th birthday from my lovely wife and I have to say this is the best watch I have ever had. and I had a lot of them. The rack and spring move the ellipse, which in turn charges the pallet fork that leads directly to the escape wheel. This rating doesn't necessarily denote a better or worse stone, it simply tells you if it is lighter or darker. Interested in taking the plunge into Plug-in Hybrids?
I would have preferred a canvas two-piece strap or even a leather two-piece strap. Moving house is always a debacle. Powering the Salvage Diver is the Miyota 9015 automatic movement. The Miyota 9015 has become quite a popular movement over the last few years and has proven to be quite reliable. The rotor can be a bit noisy but I can put up with a bit of rotor noise to get that extremely smooth sweep second hand of much more expensive movements such as the ETA 2824 and other Swiss Made movements. The Miyota 9015 also helps in keeping the overall cost down for consumers. This watch with an ETA movement would easily cost hundreds more.

This one is a bit different though because it has a presentation from 1971 and it doesn't have a 770 movement inside. Notice the second hand has fallen off. It is floating around inside and is on the right between the 3 and 4 markers.

Fake Richard Mille Lifestyle Say Hello to Australia's Biggest Viking Themed Bar and Axe Throwing Utopia NB: The Monaco Only Watch was very Fake Richard Mille much a baby step in that direction – crawling before we walk, before we can run. It had richard mille replica rm 052 to be developed in a very short time frame. We had to operate within the current Monaco collection, but we pushed it as far as we possibly could in order to tell a richard mille fake watch different story. We also wanted maximum transparency about our suppliers who played a part in the construction of the watch, like Andre Martinez who did the hand painting. There are some reading this thinking that is not a large watch, and depending on what you like to wear, that can very well be true.

National Artificial Intelligence Strategies and Human Rights: A Review
Report published by Global Partners Digital and Stanford University Global Digital Policy Incubator. Examines governments' National AI Strategies from a human rights perspective. 61 pages.
The report looks at existing strategies adopted by governments and regional organisations since 2017. It assesses the extent to which human rights considerations have been incorporated and makes a series of recommendations to policymakers looking to develop or revise AI strategies in the future.
As AI applications are embedded into different areas of life––from healthcare to labour, criminal justice to retail––governments are increasingly conscious of the potential impacts of AI. At the same time they seek to take advantage of the economic opportunities offered in this rapidly developing sector. One way that countries are addressing AI policy is by developing comprehensive, cross-governmental strategies––National AI Strategies––outlining the actions the government will take. Since 2017, when Canada became the first country to adopt such a strategy, almost 30 more have been developed.
As countries begin to develop strategies around AI, it is critical that they also consider the potential harms and opportunities as they relate to human rights, and prepare themselves to protect and promote human rights in the context of this new technology.
"The key take-away message of this report is that human rights principles should be embedded into National AI Strategies at the outset. A human rights-based approach to AI is the best way for governments to protect citizens from potential harms as they arise, but also to capture the benefits for society," says Eileen Donahoe, Executive Director of the Global Digital Policy Incubator at Stanford University, one of the partners on the report.
Our report found that while the majority of National AI Strategies mention human rights, very few contain a deep human rights-based analysis or concrete assessment of how various AI applications impact human rights. In all but a few cases, they also lacked depth or specificity on how human rights should be protected in the context of AI, which was in contrast to the level of specificity on other issues such as economic competitiveness or innovation advantage.
The report provides recommendations to help governments develop human rights-based national AI strategies. These recommendations fall under six broad themes:
Include human rights explicitly and throughout the strategy: Thinking about the impact of AI on human rights-and how to mitigate the risks associated with those impacts- should be core to a national strategy. Each section should consider the risks and opportunities AI provides as related to human rights, with a specific focus on at-risk, vulnerable and marginalized communities.
Outline specific steps to be taken to ensure human rights are protected: As strategies engage with human rights, they should include specific goals, commitments or actions to ensure that human rights are protected.
Build in incentives or specific requirements to ensure rights-respecting practice: Governments should take steps within their strategies to incentivize human rights-respecting practices and actions across all sectors, as well as to ensure that their goals with regards to the protection of human rights are fulfilled.
Set out grievance and remediation processes for human rights violations: A National AI Strategy should look at the existing grievance and remedial processes available for victims of human rights violations relating to AI. The strategy should assess whether the process needs revision in light of the particular nature of AI as a technology or in the capacity-building of those involved so that they are able to receive complaints concerning AI.
Recognize the regional and international dimensions to AI policy: National strategies should clearly identify relevant regional and global fora and processes relating to AI, and the means by which the government will promote human rights-respecting approaches and outcomes at them through proactive engagement.
Include human rights experts and other stakeholders in the drafting of National AI Strategies: When drafting a national strategy, the government should ensure that experts on human rights and the impact of AI on human rights are a core part of the drafting process.
"We hope that our report will help governments in better addressing human rights questions in relation to AI in their national strategies, and provide others with guidance on how to evaluate these strategies as they are released," adds Dr. Megan Metzger, Associate Director of Research for the Global Digital Policy Incubator, and co-author of the report.
Charles Bradley, Executive Director at Global Partners Digital, observes: "This report comes at a critical moment globally, with most governments yet to develop a National Artificial Intelligence Strategy. We hope the early adopters will follow our recommendations and ensure their strategies are in line with international human rights law, setting a positive precedent for years to come."

An open letter to the Catholic League on rant against David Bowie video "The Next Day" - VIDEO
Mike Farragher
David Bowie's 'The Next Day'
Hi Bill:
Well, looks like you got yourself noticed yet again with a whacked-out rant against the new David Bowie video.
Bowie is back after a decade-long hiatus with a killer album The Next Day, which you made clear on the Catholic League website and in the press that you're not thrilled about. The video for the song "The Next Day" frosted your cupcake, and you called it the work of a "switch-hitting, bisexual senior citizen from London" that "is strewn with characteristic excess," according to Rolling Stone.
The clip stars Gary Oldham and shows priests frolicking with scantily clad women in a nightclub where a Christ-like singer, played by Bowie, is performing. One of the women develops a pretty bloody stigmata before Bowie ascends into heaven.
"In short, the video reflects the artist – it is a mess," you wrote, noting Bowie's statements over the years about various faiths and dogmas as proof that the singer "is nothing if not confused about religion."
That got you noticed, as this mention in the column proves. But here's the thing -- it got Bowie noticed, too. Many articles written about your windbag whines also featured a YouTube clip of the offending video, making it that much easier for people to click over to the link and see what all the fuss was about.
To be sure, Bowie made a provocative video rich in gothic Catholic imagery of Opus Dei floggings.
Yes, he was a bit heavy-handed in the blood and gore department during the stigmata scene, and this reviewer thought that the song was great but the video was rather pointless.
Bowie wanted your reaction when he cast the beautiful models writhing around him, and the dour men with priest collars look on disapprovingly. In the process, he cast himself in the role of rebellious teen and you as the dowdy and prudish dad, even though he is a few months older than you are.
Your over-the-top outrage doesn't do much for your cause or for the image of Irish Americans in particular. In this instance, you came off as unhinged and Bowie got his money's worth out of this viral publicity stunt.
Maybe the next Bowie video should be a remake of a Warner Brothers cartoon, with Bowie cast as the quick-witted wascally wabbit Bugs Bunny and you as the clueless Elmo Fudd?
Th-th-that's all, folks!

"In the spring of 2006, I was at my parent's house by the Vale Mill and we were talking about houses that I had been passed on as I was keen to move from my small Farmhouse where I had been living for over 10 years. At the end of the road there was a strange looking house with a funny turret and my father noted that it had come up for sale. It was well above my budget but "for a laugh" I asked for the details and had a look around – it was "interesting". Not really knowing what to do I asked my friend Dave Corson around before long we had hatched a plan. The long and short of it was I managed to buy the property.
When I was introduced to André at a meeting at Dave's offices, I immediately grasped the fact that Andre has the most amazing design and architectural skills and that he quite simply had to do the job. We never looked back.
When I took on the property I had a romantic notion that I could live in the house, do some building in the evenings and have the job done in a year or two. I could not have been further from reality. I also had no idea that I would need a project manager and again thank goodness he was about to save me.
Firstly I would like to thank André for designing and creating the most wonderful house. I know we have only completed Phase One but that in itself is the most amazing dream come true. Andre's plans are so clear that nobody I have shown them to has ever seen such a tidy and complete set of plans, let alone the design features embedded in them. Andre's open and attentive approach allows the client to give input and have their wishes incorporated in the design.
Secondly André's skills in managing the project are second to none and I cannot imagine that it would be possible to build a house without having the designer there as required to conquer all the obstacles that are thrown in the way. Andre's ability to be on-site at a moment's notice and to ensure that a problem or issue is resolved to his level of satisfaction far out-weighed the cost of employing him to do the job. I could not count the number of times that Andre saved a problem from becoming one by getting on site and dealing with the situation first hand.
André's design philosophy tends towards the modern, which is very much in keeping with what I wanted but at the same time, he has the ability to retain character and ensure that you do not create a sterile environment, something that too many modern architects do. People often forget you are creating a home, Andre however does not. Case in point here is when we had an issue with the bricks on the old house. The builders wanted to render the property as we were unable to source bricks to match the originals, Andre stood firm and insisted on re-bricking the entire house. Despite the extra cost and the potential time delay I took André's advice and we went with the re-brick option and thank goodness. The warmth that the bricks create gives the homely feel whilst the clean cut of the brick gives the modern aspect. I have had countless people comment on how much of the character of the old house has been retained and how sympathetic the new design is.
The last couple of years have been a complete education for me in the world of building and design and I am not sure I would have gone through it if I had known then what I know now. One of the main reasons that I have got through it is down to André. André has spent the time to teach me things, explain how things can and can't be done, managed difficult situations and stayed level headed. André shielded me from issues that I did not need to be involved in whilst ensuring that I was involved with the things that I needed to be. This is a very difficult balance and one that Andre achieved very well indeed.
Over the course of the project it has been an absolute pleasure to deal with André in all aspects of design and building management and whilst I will miss the on-going interaction (which had to be daily at the height of the project) I trust that we will maintain the friendship that has developed over this time.
