Q: Is it safe to swap a fused IEC cable to non-fused when in another country? I have recently moved from Singapore to New Zealand and have brought a number of eletrical applicances with me e.g. computer, ricecooker, router, etc.
Since the voltages are the same (currently using travel adaptors with a power board), I was assuming that as long as the applicance doesn't draw over 10A, then I could just swap out the fused Brittish IEC C8 & C14 cables with local non-fused ones. However I noticed that the rice cooker (C13/14 with a 10A fuse) has a sticker on it warning: do not use power cord from other applicances, so it got me wondering if it was infact safe or if they were just being overly cautious (or wanting you to pay for their expensive replacement cord).
Can I safely swap these IEC cables over?

A: Perfectly fine as long as the cable itself is the right rating.
Many cheap IEC cables, although the connectors are rated at 10A, the cable itself is a lower rating (because it's cheaper), such as 5A (why use 10A cable on an appliance that only draws a couple of amps?).
That's why you shouldn't use a cable from something else on the rice cooker, as it would need more than a generic cheap cable can safely handle.
(note: the UK electrical regulations are fixated on fuses. There's fuses everywhere, even when they're really not needed. In a typical circuit you'd have the MCB in the CU, the 13A in the 4-way strip's plug, the 13A a foot away in the 4-way itself, then another fuse (say 5A) 6 inches further away in the appliance plug, then another smaller one at the appliance entry... that's 5 fuses in a single power feed!!!)

Two journalists are killed – level 3
Two television journalists have been shot and killed in Virginia while conducting a live television interview. The incident occurred at 6.45 a.m. during a live broadcast when shots could be heard, sending the reporter and her source screaming and ducking for cover. The interviewee, a local chamber of commerce head, was also shot in the back and is in a critical condition. Journalists Alison Parker and Adam Ward have died in the incident.
Twenty-four-year-old Alison Parker originally joined the station as an intern and had graduated from James Madison University in 2012. Chris Hurst, an anchor at WDBJ7 tweeted shortly after the shooting that he and Parker had just moved in together and that they had been dating for about 9 months and that they wanted to get married.
Adam Ward was described as a gregarious, hard-working photo journalist, an avid fan of Virginia Tech and long-term employee of the station. He was engaged to Melissa Ott, who also worked at the TV station and was in the control room when the shooting happened.
Virginia's governor said on a Washington DC TV interview that they are in pursuit of the shooter and that the suspect could have been a disgruntled employee of the TV station.
Police have released this image seen on live TV.
Difficult words: source (a person who gives information), duck (to get down), head (boss), anchor (a person who presents and coordinates a live television), gregarious (sociable), avid (very interested), disgruntled (angry or dissatisfied).

Xenophobic Migration Bans Won't Prevent Terrorism In America
By John Coyne
US President Donald Trump isn't going to be swayed by protests against his anti-migration policies. Last weekend's emotive responses to Trump's divisive migration executive orders will only serve to shore up his support base and resolve.
Trump's post-truth public relations machine is ingenious in the way it taps into the economically disenfranchised and politically dissatisfied American voters. This team will ensure that celebrities spruiking disgust from podiums, and protesters waving placards, will be presented as evidence that the 'bleeding hearts' have no interest in making America great.
Trump is empowered by the idea that his support base doesn't recognise the political influence of elites. He might not be wrong: Hillary Clinton's posse of A-List celebrities failed to get her elected.
The US has always been of two minds about its borders and immigration: one side's culturally linked to a tradition of immigration and the other's focused on strong borders as part of a political culture of isolationism. Trump didn't create this polarised division. He just sold the idea that immigration was to blame for America's woes.
America is a nation built on migration. This connection had in the past created a disposition to welcome newcomers. In more recent times the welcoming of immigrants to America has been predicated on the individual's successful transition through the citizenship process. Without citizenship, a migrant remains legally and culturally 'alien'.
Trump's assumption that banning migration or travel to America from certain countries will prevent terrorism is deeply flawed. While a record number of border walls are being constructed across the globe for those who are trusted, the crossing of international borders is becoming easier.
For those American Muslims who are already feeling disenfranchised and disconnected Trump's migration policies could make them vulnerable to extremist ideas.
For everyone else movement is being restricted. But this selective permeability is challenged by the reality that assumptions about the risk from the citizens of specific countries are flawed. Automatic assumptions about the risk posed by travellers with European passports, for example, are challenged by events such as the recent Paris and Brussels attacks.
The banning of migration and travel from certain predominantly Islamic nations will support extremist propaganda that the West is persecuting Muslims. For the average Muslim American, it'll reinforce the idea that their faith is overwhelmingly viewed through a security lens.
When it comes to terrorism the journey to radicalisation is a personal one. But there's some common threads: isolation, disenfranchisement, disengagement from society and mental health, are strong contributing factors.
For the average Muslim American, it'll reinforce the idea that their faith is overwhelmingly viewed through a security lens.
Trumps latest migration policy won't prevent terrorism on America's shores. In fact, it's highly likely that his policy will do much more harm than good when it comes to violent extremism.
Over the weekend Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was able to secure Trump's continued support for his government's strategy to resettle asylum seekers currently in detention in Papua New Guinea and Nauru. This is a crucial move to resolve one of the most contentious components of Australia's migration system.
Despite Turnbull's difficult position, Australia isn't without options for responding to Trump's policies. We're recognised as a country that's tough on migration and border security. With such a reputation Australia is a perfect partner for a Trump government seeking to get tough on border security.
Australian policy makers could provide Americans with an alternative to ineffective, broad-brushed, xenophobic migration bans.

Hail is solid precipitation that falls from thunderstorms or beefy showers as round or irregular balls of ice or ice-pellets, generally taken to be 5mm in diameter or larger. Hail originates as a frozen rain drop or graupel that is kept from falling by updraft currents within a cumulonimbus cloud triggerering heavy showers or thunderstorms. Each time the ice pellets or small hail stones are pushed into the cold upper layers, they collide with supercooled water droplets which freeze to the growing hailstones.
Hailstones often grow in alternating layers of rime and glaze, when they are continuously rotated up and down by updrafts and downdrafts. The freezing process repeats itself until the weight of the hail stone causes it to fall to the ground or the updraft weakens enough to eventually end the cycle.
Hail stones can grow to the size of a softball exceeding 50mm across. Large hailstones fall at speeds faster than 100 mph (160 kph). The heaviest individual hailstones of about 1kg were recorded at Gopalganj, Bangladesh on 14 April 1986. However, hail stones of 3.4kg were reported from Hyderabad, India in 1939. The largest hail stone ever was reported from Yuwu, China in 1902.
The table below gives some hail size estimates and descriptions. The potential damage and hailstorm intensity is described H0 to H10 according to the TORRO Hail Storm Intensity Scale.
The potential damage which a hailstone can inflict is mainly proportional to the stone's size and the windspeed in which it falls. Clearly, a 30 mm diameter hailstone falling in high winds has a greater damage potential than a stone of the same size falling in light (or even updraught) winds. To a lesser extent, hailstone hardness and shape / fall orientation can also affect the degree of damage.

Save the Sewer Rat Society
Dear reader: Here's a spoof I wrote in 1972, which seems just as relevant today as it was then. The column received national attention from press and radio, including being read by Paul Harvey, yet we are doing the same stupid things today. Why, oh why, can't we ever learn? – DP
A campaign is being launched locally which we hope will gain national attention. It's called "Save the Sewer Rat Society."
This society is patterned after "Save the Animals"and similar organizations, which want to promote the health and well being of the coyote and prairie dog.
The reason for founding this society is quite obvious – someday we may travel to our bigger cities back east and want to view part of our national heritage. We understand these big sewer rats in the cities are direct descendants of rats that came over on the Mayflower.
Being a country boy, I've never seen any of these rats and want them to be available for viewing, should I ever wish to visit a city. These rats are also a great aid to our economy since they eat a considerable amount of food that would otherwise be consumed by humans. By doing this, these lovely creatures keep the farmers in the West in business.
We hope westerners will flock to our support and write congressmen and senators asking that all efforts be taken to protect the sewer rats. All forms of poisoning of these fur-bearing animals must be stopped immediately. Our inconsiderate city cousins must immediately stop cruelly clubbing and shooting these creatures. From all indications, the sewer rat is on the decrease, posing still another threat to the eradication of a beloved, friendly animal.
It is our duty to make every effort to preserve these creatures, just in case our children or our children's children should wish to visit the big city someday to see them in their natural state.
As is the case with the woman who came to Casper to view the "disappearing coyote" or the man on the Johnny Carson show who possessed the "only living pair" of prairie dogs, we now feel we are experts and champions of the "Save the Sewer Rat Society," since we don't know a darn thing about the subject.
By possessing a world of misinformation and a complete ignorance of the subject about which a person writes, or speaks, he can say anything as fact and many people will believe it.
We say, with all sincerity, "Save the Sewer Rat!"


An Englishman in Colombia: Back to the woodwork!
I haven't done much woodwork recently, so decided to get stuck in again, so the first thing I wanted to do, was to improve my tablesaw, and in doing so, it nearly ended up as scrap, as we all know ' Measure twice, cut once'! fortunately I was able to work around my mistake, so now I have blade inserts, so I can adjust the blade to cut angles, and then I cut another dado in the top, so that I could make and use a mitre cut sled, for accurate cuts, and this was where I made my mistake, suffice it to say, I'm not saying what that was!
Today, was another day, and I decided it was time to cut down on the amount of sawdust I was spewing around the apartment, that involved making a moveable support for the vacuum hose, it didn't take long, and will save having to clean up the entire apartment every time I finish work!!
Next, I need to make a wood bin, for all my leftover bits, at the moment Pépe thinks they are a selection of new toys!
Pépe has started getting Schnauzer bumps, from researching the internet, it seems that this is quite common, and there are numerous opinions on what causes these skin lumps, and how to deal with them, we are going to start by giving him fish oil, if that doesn't work, I think it might be a trip to the Vet, although the consensus seems to be, that they are not a problem, and come and go at will.
I just found your blog and want to invite you to provide a guest post on our site Retirement And Good Living about living/retiring to Colombia.
Earlier this year we launched our retirement site Retirement And Good Living at retirementandgoodliving.com that provides information on a variety of topics including retirement locations, travel, volunteering, health, finance, hobbies, part time work and much more to boomers, recent retirees and others thinking about or planning for retirement.
Currently the blog section of our site is comprised entirely of posts by guests on a variety of topics. To date over 100 guests from around the globe provided posts to our blog.
Please send me an email and I will forward additional information.
Thank you Simone, I will be in touch, I have had a look at your site, and there is some great information there.


"We may not all be called to do great things that make the headlines, but we are all called to love and be loved, wherever we may be. We are called to be open and to grow in love and thus to communicate life to others, especially to those in need." These words by Jean Vanier, a well-known Canadian theologian, writer and founder of the L'Arche community speak to the WCS Community this week. I pray that each of us will follow God's calling to use our eyes to see, our ears to hear and our hearts to reach out to one another in love.

I am designing some frac panels for JH circuits and the like. I would like to make them so they are somnewhat similar, though not identical to my Wiard 1200 modules, which have these things on them. I have various images that I can futz about on with the gimp and pull some line art off them, but I don't know which programs can be used to convert a B&W line graphic into a hpgl ot plt file which can be dropped into front panel designer. Programs i see online are fearfully expensive.
Any suggestions as to what I can use, also tips on how best to creat such things?
If you're on a mac, CADintosh can import a variety of formats and can produce HPGL files. I haven't used it though.
Pretty sure Inkscape can pull it off.
Inkscape can export line graphics to hpgl/plt. They started supporting that officially in version 0.47 (they're on 0.48 now). I've had success drawing spirals and things in Inkscape and loading them into Front Panel Designer.
It won't work with text unless you convert the text to a path to make it an outline.
You mean text has to be outlined for it to work? No solid lettering? Or is that something different than you're tlaking about?
You just have to convert the text layer to a path.
But i guess you would mostly use inkscape for the graphic components and do the text and layout in FPE ?

'I'm strong, with a lot of hope'
AFP, Sao Paulo
PHOTO: AFP FILE
Brazilian football legend Pele said on Saturday that he feels "strong, with a lot of hope" despite medical problems that have kept the 82-year-old sports icon in the hospital with a respiratory infection.
Pele, widely regarded as the greatest footballer of all time, was hospitalized earlier this week amid ongoing colon cancer treatments.
"My friends, I want to keep everyone calm and positive," Pele said in an Instagram post. "I'm strong, with a lot of hope and I follow my treatment as usual."
Doctors treating Pele said earlier Saturday that the Brazilian legend remained "stable," with his condition not having deteriorated over the last day.
Pele "has had a good response to care without any worsening in the clinical picture in the last 24 hours," doctors at Sao Paulo's Albert Einstein Hospital said in a statement.
Doctors made no reference to media reports earlier on Saturday that the three-time World Cup winner was receiving end-of-life care.
Pele was admitted to hospital earlier this week for what doctors said was a "re-evaluation" of the chemotherapy he has been undergoing since surgery to remove a colon tumor in September last year.
At the ongoing World Cup in Qatar, players expressed their support for Pele.
France striker Kylian Mbappe on Saturday tweeted: "Pray for the King."
England captain Harry Kane offered his support for Pele at a press conference ahead of his team's last-16 tie against Senegal.
"We send our best wishes to him and obviously all his family as well," said Kane.
"He is an inspiration amongst our game and an incredible footballer and incredible person. We wish him well."
Pele is the only footballer in history to win three World Cups -- 1958, 1962 and 1970 -- and is one of the most successful and popular sports figures of the 20th century.
Nicknamed "O Rei" (The King), he scored more than 1,200 goals in one of the most storied careers in sport, before retiring in 1977.
Pele dazzled from an early age and took the 1958 World Cup by storm when he was 17 years old, netting a hat trick in the semifinals and two more goals in the final, catapulting his own career and launching the soccer dynasty of the Brazilian national team.
In recent years, Pele has faced deteriorating health but has dealt with the issues with trademark good humor.
In his Instagram post Saturday, the sports phenom said the flow of messages of love from all over the world "keeps me full of energy" and reported that he is eager to "watch Brazil in the World Cup too!"

Q: C++ Common Ancestor Problem. What is it? Hi I just finished taking my final exam. There was a questions that said, "define the common ancestor problem in C++", and state what feature of the language is used to address this problem.
I don't remember ever learning about the common ancestor problem in class or ever hearing about it. However I wrote the following:
I said it had to do with inheritance. If a parent class and a child class define the same method with the same method signature. So for instance if I have class Parent and class Child.
In class Parent I have
void sayHello(){
    cout << "hello I'm a parent" <<endl;
}

then in class Child I have
void sayHello(){
    cout << "hello I'm a child" <<<endl;
}

then if I have
Parent* p1;
Child* c1 = new Child();
p1 = & c1;

If I call p1.sayHello() I will call the method sayHello() from the parent class even though it's bounded to an instance of Child type.
So to address this we must use the virtual keyword and say
virtual void sayHeyllo(){
.....
}

so that wen I call p1.sayHello() it calls the method from the Child class and not the parent class.
Is this correct? I just took a guess, but it kind of makes sense. I googled C++ common ancestor problem, but nothing came up.  do you know if I'm right?
Thanks.
T

A: I think they meant an inheritance diamond. When you have something like the following:
struct A {};
struct B : A {};
struct C : A {};

struct D : B, C {}; // here is the problem

The problem in D is there are two copies of A one comes from B and one from C. To solve this problem you have to use virtual inheritance:
struct A {};
struct B : virtual A {};
struct C : virtual A {};

struct D : B, C {}; // No problem!

A: Probably it refers to a multiple inheritance where several base classes have a common parent ("diamond inheritance"):
struct A {};
struct B1 : A {};
struct B2 : A {};
struct C : B1, B2 {};

The solution asked for should be virtual inheritance:
struct A {};
struct B1 : virtual A {};
struct B2 : virtual A {};
struct C : B1, B2 {};

A: This actually, normally, refers to the Diamond Problem with multiple inheritance.
Here is some detailed reference material on how C++ treats this.

A: I would have thought that it is referring to Diamond inheritance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_problem)
The C++ feature that you would use to deal with this is virtual inheritance:
class Foo : virtual public Bar
{
}

Search SO for diamond inheritance.

Home Bike News Bajaj Dominar to launch in India with a Major upgrade soon- Spotted
Bajaj Dominar to launch in India with a Major upgrade soon- Spotted
By Tarun Kochar
As per the latest spy pics, Bajaj Dominar is going to launch soon with major mechanical upgrades. The power cruiser has been spotted with these upgrades. It copies some elements from KTM Duke 390.
Bajaj Dominar 400 is currently the most powerful Bajaj bike. It is basically a power cruiser. It classifies as a sports bike as well as a cruiser. With its powerful 400cc engine, it competes with the likes of Mahindra Mojo XT 300, Duke 390, Royal Enfield Classic 350 and more such bikes. The bike was launched in December 2016. Though it is not a much-demanded bike but is quite popular in the market. The main reason for its demand being low is because people are not familiar with the concept of premium lifestyle motorcycles.

Now, out of nowhere, the first spy pics of the upgraded Bajaj Dominar 400 has come online. Yes, that's for real.
The bike already came with so many features and perfect mechanical specs. Like every other vehicle, it needs something new and so this new Dominar is going to launch soon.
Now coming back to the spy pics, Autocar has uploaded them online. The Bajaj Dominar is the picture gets USD front forks, a pseudo-twin exhaust end-can and also a larger-looking radiator.
This means that the performance and the riding dynamics of the Dominar are going to get better. For improving it further, it is likely to get more comfortable while driving at low-speed.
Sadly, other than this, there might be no other changes. Although, there are rumours that a new Bajaj Dominar 200 might also launch in India. You can read about the mini-cruiser here.
There are chances that it might get Duke 390's DOHC motor and also ride-by-wire throttle system. With these upgrades, the performance at high speeds will get even better. However, unlike the KTM, the Bajaj Dominar is lesser aggressive at low-speeds and it may continue with that ability.

Also, there are chances that the upcoming Dominar might get a BS-VI ready engine. With the upcoming emission norms, most of the other Bajaj bikes are also getting compliant engines.
The last thing that we think might come with the upgraded Dominar, is new colour options.
Currently, it comes with a 373cc liquid-cooled engine. The engine produces 34.5 BHP of power and 35 Nm of torque. The engine comes paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch. The mileage approximated on this bike is around 25 kmpl.

The Bajaj Dominar 400 comes with features such as Split Reverse LCD Display, Auto LED headlamps, Slipper clutch, Fully Digital Instrument Cluster, Dual Channel ABS and tell-tale lights. Also, its main feature is a unique and aggressive looking bodywork.

It's a strange activity topic for Earth Day. I know. But a fascinating one really when you get into it!
For some reason, my son Onetime is really interested right now in water and how it comes into our house, what it does, how it leaves, and where it goes when we're done with it. And of course, the most interesting water-user in our house is the toilet!
Join us today to look at how we have been investigating how toilets work and you will definitely come away with some great activities and ideas for helping to CONSERVE water at your house too – perfect for Earth Day – or any day!
This post contains Amazon Affiliate links. See our Disclosure for more details.
The first, and easiest thing you can do with your kids to help them understand how toilets work, is to take the tank lid off the toilet/s in your house and let them look and explore!
Remember – the water in the tank is clean water and won't contain any germs – so it's okay if they put their hands in there and poke around a bit!
It's also fun to put 4 to 5 drops of food colouring into the tank to help your child see how the water is moving.
And by the way, you don't have to have all the answers to the questions above. If you don't know the answer, and your child doesn't either – that's okay to admit!
A new discovery! Figuring out what controls the filling up of the tank!
If you can – check out some different toilets. Many of them work on the same premise, and have different looking parts, but which do the same thing.
We were able to check out 5 different toilets this week including an old style one with a huge tank, a bunch of newer low-flush ones, and even one at my friend's house with the dual-flush buttons!
Each time we looked at a new one, we talked about the size of the tanks and how much clean water was being used to flush waste away.
After learning about the process of water treatment earlier this week, Onetime seems to be starting to understand why the low-flush toilets are better for the environment.
Using New Understandings to Learn About Water Conservation!
After we had explored and played with the toilets, I decided to have Onetime do a couple of fun activities to help conserve water.
After learning about how the handle pulls up a plug to allow the water to flow out of the tank into the bowl, I could explain to Onetime how sometimes the plug doesn't work very well and water can continually leak into the bowl.
By pressing on the handle a bit, I could mimic this problem and Onetime could see how that would keep the water leaking into the bowl and the tank continually filling up. What a waste of water!
So – to test for leaky toilet plugs – we decided to add food colouring into the tanks of all our toilets to see if the coloured water was leaking into the bowl.
Onetime had a great time with this and it was fun to check and see that all our toilets were in tip-top shape!
So we talked about what we could do to help the toilet use less water. Although this wasn't a problem that a 3 1/2 year old could solve, if you have older kids – they might be able to figure this one out.
What we did was find a clean brick that we could place carefully inside our tank. Basically, the idea is that it takes up space that would otherwise be filled with water – so your toilet becomes more environmentally friendly!
Although it's something I may regret later when Onetime is in school or visiting friends, we are generally using the "If it's yellow, let it mellow!" slogan at our house.
If you haven't heard this particular phrase before, it means that we try to only flush after we poop! Otherwise, we let the waste sit.
I realize this isn't for everyone, but for us – it's an easy way to use less water, and to help the environment!
Whenever Onetime is interested in a subject, we look to books to find answers, stimulate more questions, and to build on our knowledge. We've found some good ones over the past few weeks that I would strongly recommend for this topic!
To find even more fun and educational activities, follow me on Facebook, and Twitter.

IN a pond somewhere in Central Park...
...a mother mallard is watching one of her fledglings take to water for the first time, and noting - 'He is taking to that like Anthony O'Connor to playing in midfield.'
After arriving at Argyle, from previous loan spells at Torquay United, and Burton Albion from his parent club Blackburn Rovers, O'Connor has been a first team regular since linking up with the Pilgrims, and under the guidance of John Sheridan, he feels his game is improving.
At Burton and Torquay O'Connor typically played in the back four, either centrally or at right-back, but Sheridan saw a role for him in midfield, protecting those behind him, and Anthony has thrived in that position.
"I'm happy with the way I'm playing," says O'Connor.
"I'm not a natural central midfielder, but I feel every week I'm growing in that position and I feel I'm getting better and better, and hopefully as the weeks go on I can keep progressing".
"I like all the positions that I play, I like playing football. I love being a footballer and I love playing football.
"The gaffer has put his trust in me, and he's kept me in there. He wouldn't have if he thought I wasn't doing a good job.
"I'm happy and I'm progressing well, and hopefully I can keep getting better and doing well for the team."


A review by the State Auditor's office that questioned the spending of four boards under the Iowa Department of Public Health has led to changes in procedures. State Auditor Mary Mosiman says the process for buying electronics raised concerns during an audit.
"Expenditures that were reimbursed to employees who had used their personal credit cards or made individual purchases of technology devices — including i-Pads, printers, scanners, laptops, GPS navigators, some cameras, a Kindle was in there, some wireless speakers — instead of going through the normal purchasing process.
The review involved the Iowa Board of Pharmacy, Iowa Dental Board, the Iowa Board of Medicine, and the Iowa Board of Nursing. "One particular individual, he has used his personal credit card to the tune of a little over 18-thousand dollars," Mosiman say. "And when you are using your individual credit card, you can be earning reward points or other incentives that typically should be the property of the state for future savings instead of being the property of the individual. So, it's not recommended practice." She says individuals also paid some sale taxes that would not have been paid through the state purchasing process.
Mosiman says failing to follow state procedures left the devices open to not having the proper protection. "Without going through the department's IT department they did not have the necessary security for data and protection that is necessary, specifically in health boards," Mosiman explains. The report covers purchases made from July 1st of 2011 to August 31st of 2014. Mosiman says most of the purchases took place in 2011 and 2012.
Mosiman says they also questioned why the Pharmacy Board paid the full cost of internet service for employees, which totaled more than $14,000 in the 2013 fiscal year. There were cellphone plans paid for by the state, when there were very few calls made on the plan. The State Auditor says her organization made several recommendations on changes to bring the boards into compliance with state rules. She says changes were made soon after her office started the review.
"I think once the realized that it is considered questionable, they put procedures into play to make sure they are doing a better job of that," Mosiman says. "So, for the most part there was a favorable response to the recommendations within our report." Mosiman says the problems surfaced in a routine review of the purchasing process for the boards.


The first woman to win four track and field gold medals at one Olympic games – and still the only woman to do so – wasn't your typical track star. At the time, she was thought to be a bit past her prime and not expected to do much.
Dutch sprinter Fanny Blankers-Koen, who would have turned 100 years old today, was the undebatable star, however, at the 1948 London Olympics, 70 years ago. She is honored today with Google's Doodle.
Blankers-Koen came into those Olympics as a 30-year-old housewife – and, most impressively, she was in the early stages of pregnancy at the time, with her third child.
But she emerged as the star of the track and field competition, winning the 100 meters, 200 meters, and 80 meters hurdles and also winning a gold in the 4×100 meters relay.
Her win in the 200 was particularly impressive – she dominated the field with a record-setting margin of victory in a relatively short race.
She could have won more, likely – she was the world record holder at the time in the long jump and the high jump – but women were limited in how many events they could compete in.
Nicknamed the Fying Dutchwoman, Blankers-Koen wasn't an unknown – she had been a rising track star, but that had been years earlier. Dutch athletics officials, and many in the general public in Holland, assumed she was too old, and had just been unlucky to lose her prime running years to World War II.
It was the second Olympics for Blankers-Koen, but she was an unknown kid at the first. She competed in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin as an 18-year-old, and finished fifth in the high jump. (She did manage to get an autograph at those games from her hero, American sprinter Jesse Owens).
But she lost most of her prime competing years, in Olympics terms, to World War II. The Olympics were cancelled because of the war in 1940 and 1944, which would have been the two years when Blankers-Koen would have been of prime competing age – 22 and 26.
She was given a parade in Amsterdam after the '48 Games.
She tried to compete again at the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki but had to pull out because of injuries.
Blankers-Koen died in 2004 in Holland.

HI-RES VOL. 1, NO. 2 / JANUARY 1984 / PAGE 56
Family Place
by Dorothy Heller
Dear Hi Res:
Ever since my spouse brought the computer home, things haven't been the same. One of our kids only comes to bed after hours of programming and has started to skip meals and eat stale tuna fish sandwiches. The other kids don't seem to be learning anything except how to kill enemy aliens.
Since that Atari computer came out of the family budget tell me please, how can all of us benefit from its computer capabilities?
A New Computer Parent
Making Computing a Family Affair
Who uses the Atari in your family? Does everyone get their chance to use the computer, or:
Is the Atari monopolized by kids blowing up planets?
Does one of you feel like a computer widow/widower?
Do you feel that your computer is a financial investment that isn't paying off?
Personal computing can open up exciting possibilities for you and every member of your family. Stay tuned! In this and future columns, We'll talk about:
games that have general entertainment value--without using violence.
educational games that children can enjoy and learn from, even non-readers, as young as three years old.
how people who are limited by are limited by physical handicaps or family responsibilities, use their Atari for home learning and earnings.
the exciting possibilities the Atari computer offers for career and personal development.
how you can use your family computer for home management.
evaluating games and educational software for your whole family.
using your Atari for creative hobbies, such as art and music.
Atari PILOT and Logo friendly programming languages for beginners and children.
Now, lets take a look at two games for 3-to-6-year olds from The Learning Company.
A software company in Portola Valley, California is challenging the stereotype of who uses computers. The Learning Company's founders, top managers, and many key members of the programming staff, are women. Ann Piestrup, Teri Perl, and Leslie Grimm are all educators and parents who believe that children as young as three years old can enjoy computers and learn with them. Their goal is to create learning games that take advantage of the computer's sound, graphics, and color capabilities, plus children's natural curiosity, instead of standardized "computer-assisted instruction" programs emphasizing question-and-answer drills. The Learning Company also believes that games can be fun and challenging without violence.
Two of their learning games are now available for the Atari 400/800/ 1200 computers. Juggle's Rainbow was first developed on the Apple computer; the other, Juggle's House, is an exclusive for Atari.
Both are available on disk and cassette and come with attractive, illustrated instruction and activity booklets.
Juggle's Rainbow
"Juggles" offers a child several learning activities, with an option menu enabling the parent to regulate the speed of the games and use picture clues for very young children and non-readers.
The first learning activity is a rainbow game that teaches children the concepts of above and below. Blue paper strips come with the game you can place on the center row of the computer keyboard. That way the child learns to press keys above or below the blue strip and watch what happens on the screen.
Another activity is the butterfly game, to teach the child the concepts of right and left. In this game the parent places a blue strip extending from the sixth key at the top of the keyboard to the B key at the bottom. By watching the screen, the child learns to differentiate between left and right.
Juggle's Windmill, the third game, combines the child's learning experience, correlating the concepts of above left, above right, below left, and below right with screen graphics.
These games also include line-and-circle recreations to help the child recognize the letters b, d, p, and q, which are difficult for many children to distinguish.
Thomasina, our reviewer, a young lady about to celebrate her third birthday, enjoys and learns from Juggle's Rainbow, with a few minor difficulties. Because of her age, she requires some adult supervision and explanations. She also has a tendency to move the blue strips on the keyboard, and even chew on them while she is figuring out her next move!
Still, the game's colorful graphics and musical accompaniment give her positive reinforcements throughout. If she presses an above key inappropriately, when the game calls for below, the program displays "that was above" on the screen and gives her the chance to keep on trying.
Juggle's Rainbow seems to be very successfully child-proof, since the child can press on any combination of keys without making the program crash, and the Shift, Control, and Break keys don't respond at all. Thomasina did short-circuit herself a few times by leaning forward to touch graphics on the screen and inadvertently pressing the space bar. This simply starts the game again, or goes on to a new activity, but doesn't cause any program errors or "crashes."
Both Thomasina and even adults especially enjoy the picture games that climax each segment. By pressing any series of keys, the child creates a rainbow, butterfly, or windmill on the screen. As the child continues pressing keys, the rainbow or butterfly changes color, and the windmill goes around.
By the time Thomasina has played for about forty minutes, she has correlated above and beyond with the more familiar words of top and bottom, and responds appropriately when the games cue her. She also recognizes letters on the screen; left and right cues; and some of the letters on the keyboard.
Juggle's House
The format of Juggle's House is similar to Juggle's Rainbow. The parent also has the option to regulate the game's speed and the use of picture clues and blue divider strips for the keyboard.
But, instead of above, below, left and right, Juggle's House demonstrates the concepts of outside and inside. After the child has worked through several explore-and-review segments, a house appears on the screen. Pressing the keys inside the house, the child can make furniture appear in different rooms. Pressing the outside keys produces a tree, a dog, and other outside scenes. After the child has pressed ten keys, all the objects appear on the screen. Additional key presses animate the objects. The bird flies, the dog's tail wags, and smoke comes out of the chimney.
Juggle's Toyshelf demonstrates the concepts of upper and lower. When the child works through the explore-and-review segments, key presses make toys appear on the upper and lower shelves of the toyshelf. With more key presses, the child can make the toys rotate or match up.
In some ways, Juggle's House is even more appropriate for our young learner, since she can readily recognize and identify with the objects and scenes. With adult help, this game can be successful with children as young as two.
The Learning Company actually presents some very sophisticated concepts in a game format. While the child plays, he or she is learning about the computer and the computer keyboard. She is learning the lessons contained in the games and beginning to think in terms of quadrants.
Juggle's Rainbow and Juggle's House demonstrate that educational software can be game-like and still communicate basic learning skills. Learning games are a new trend in software when children get to play computer games--only you know that they're also learning!

This farm overlooks Bear Canyon on the Tilton River. It has been a Christmas tree farm since 1989, part of Bear Canyon Tree Farm established in 1949. Owned by Terry and Barbara Burres, the arboretum has dozens of species of forest and ornamental trees. The trails were designed for 4-wheeler use and are wide and grassy. There is an old logging road that we use as a trail to the river. With an elevation change of about 500 feet, the trail can be quite challenging. Bear Creek empties into the river at the end of the trail.
Hmmm we couldn't find any listings within Bear Canyon West that match your search criteria. Try removing filters or zooming the map out and searching again.

The partnership between the City of Joburg and the Wits University Reproductive Health research unit, produced an opportunity to regenerate a heritage building in the inner city of Johannesburg.
Situated on the corner of Esselen and King George Street and within the Hillbrow Health Precinct (HHP), the existing clinic was a prime location to create a cornerstone primary health care facility, as part of the Corridors of Freedom initiative.
Designed and erected by Willem Pabst, between 1943 and 1951, the building has been proclaimed a heritage site in South Africa. Originally the building was designed as the Colin Gordon Nursing Home. According to Pabst, the function of the building heavily influenced the shape and spatial experience of the building. In Chipkin's Johannesburg Style (Chipkin,1993) he describes how Mauthner had some difficulty 'trying to make sense of Pabst instructions that the building must be "pregnant like a Woman'".
There was speculation around Chipkin's description, but regardless, the overarching idea was that the poetic design language remained intact, throughout the refurbishment.
The purpose of the refurbishment was to breathe new life into the existing structure. The building had undergone numerous alterations and upgrades over the years and very few of the existing finishes and fittings remained.
The courtyard functions as an outdoor waiting room and is pivotal for the prevention of the spread of communicable diseases. Well-planned exterior environments provide a greater sense of privacy and the circulation of cool air through the consultation rooms. The courtyard becomes the green lung of the facility. Planted trees creating shaded seating areas encourages patients to wait outside, where the chance of transmission of airborne disease is greatly reduced.
Care was taken to maintain as much of the existing structure and materiality as possible. Certain architectural elements were also restored. One example is demonstrated in the restored marble staircase, which was originally conceived as a light well through the building and over the years had been closed and boarded up. Another example, is the reproduction and reinstatement of solid timber internal doors. To pay homage to the original aesthetic of the space, all major additions and alternation made to the building were done in aluminium and glass, in order to mark the change of era. They 'touch' the old building 'lightly', retaining the integrity of both old structure and new intervention.
The East Structure that neighbours the Pabst building, is an even older building. It has a floor level which is approximately one metre higher than the ground floor of it's neighbour. Prior to the renovation, both buildings functioned as is, with a makeshift staircase linking the two with little cohesion between them. The solution was a sensitive yet bold one; the old inaccessible staircase linking the two was replaced by a ramp which linked two open waiting areas. These spaces were opened up between the two buildings, which meant that the programmatic functioning of the building was greatly improved. The shared courtyard became a celebrated and accessible space by both buildings. Generous doors opened from the now lower waiting area onto the courtyard as well as from the secondary waiting area onto the same space. The building's aesthetic on the exterior was tweaked and repainted to tie in with the Pabst alterations. This creates a more cohesive structure that is identifiable as one facility.
Hillbrow's reputation precedes itself: it is a volatile environment. With the upgrade of the Esselen Street Clinic building it became important to address the street edge and to create a more active front. This was successfully achieved through widening the entry way of the existing building, and proposing outdoor furniture and landscaping to be implemented along the harsh building edge.
The unmistakable curved canopy over the entrance remains unchanged and the building has a presence on the street once more.

After Dinner Speakers 4U
MC/Master of Ceremonies
General Speakers
Sporting Speakers
Male Vocalist
Inspirational Keynote Speaker & Coach On Teamwork, Leadership Skills & Performing
The First British Woman To Have Climbed Everest
Rebecca Stephens has a gift for communication and has risen to global prominence as an inspirational keynote speaker and coach on teamwork, leadership skills and performing absolutely to one's best.
The result? Motivation, commitment, dedication and, crucially, improved performance of individuals and working teams.
We all talk the language of the mountains: of reaching for the summit, peak performance and climbing high. But Rebecca doesn't only talk it; she lives it, drawing from her experiences on the loftiest peaks in the world to deliver inspirational talks to corporate audiences on how to achieve absolutely the best performance.
She talks on personal development – defining one's passions and goals, self-belief, growth through management of fear, calculated risk, tenacity and commitment – and crucially for businesses today, the subject of leadership and effective teamwork.
Again and again she inspires people to seek new horizons and achieve goals beyond their wildest dreams.
Rebecca is the first British woman to have climbed Everest an achievement recognised around the world. Rebecca then went on to become the first English-speaking woman in the world to climb the Seven Summits, the highest mountain on each of the seven continents.
Her achievements might suggest she has always known exactly what she wanted to do, but this is far from the truth. At school, she followed no particular path. 'I went to university and then into journalism, still not knowing what I wanted to do.'
It wasn't until the age of 27 that she discovered a passion that was to change her life. As a journalist, she accompanied an Anglo-American expedition on Everest's North East Ridge and got bitten by the mountaineering bug. She decided she wanted to climb. Not only that, she wanted to climb the highest mountain in the world. Four years on she fulfilled this ambition and has subsequently continued to break records and barriers. But how did she do it?
'Simple,' she says, with the benefit of hindsight. 'I wanted to climb these mountains more than anything else in the world, and that was half the battle won. A burning desire meant I just pushed that much harder to acquire the requisite skills and make sure it happened.' Rebecca believes that everyone has 'their Everest', something they badly want to do. The secret is to have the self-awareness to listen to your inner voice and follow a path that is true for you.
With a passionate belief that every individual can achieve goals far beyond their wildest dreams, Rebecca lectures to corporate audiences and schools around the world. She also contributes articles to a number of national newspapers and has regularly appeared on television, most notably on Tomorrow's World. She has written a compelling account of her ascent of Everest, 'On Top of the World', a Dorling Kindersley book on mountains, entitled 'Everest', and most recently 'The Seven Summits of Success', co-written with management guru Robert Heller. She's also been a judge on the Man Booker award for contemporary literature.
Not surprisingly, Rebecca continues to adventure at every opportunity. She has sailed the Southern Seas to the South Magnetic Pole and Antarctica, competed in an eight-day Eco-Challenge with polar explorers Sir Ranulph Fiennes and Dr Mike Stroud, running, biking and canoeing across the Canadian Rockies. Most recently, she has crossed the island of South Georgia in the footsteps of Sir Ernest Shackleton.
She is a trustee for the Sir Edmund Hillary's Himalayan Trust, a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, member of the Alpine Club, and has been closely involved with The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme and the Outward Bound Trust.
