Oxford Home Pre-Cut in St. Louis, Assembled in Oxford
During the first Oxford Pilgrimage, one of the homes that was opened to visitors had the distinction of being pre-cut in St. Louis and assembled like a giant jigsaw puzzle in 1878.
I am sure that this was the first prefab home that was built in Mississippi. Although it was not an antebellum home, as were all the others in the first pilgrimage, it was opened to the pilgrimage visitors because of its long and varied history. Its beauty and unusual architecture was another reason why the home was included in the first pilgrimage and many that followed in the twenty-two-year history of the Oxford Pilgrimage.
Fiddler's Folly is located at 520 North Lamar Blvd.
The home, now known to many in Oxford as Fiddler's Folly, was constructed for Judge Charles Bowen Howry and his wife Edmonia Carter.
The home is the beautiful modified Victorian Gothic home situated at 520 North Lamar Boulevard. It also has the distinction of being featured in the 1960s movie "Home for the Hills" which stared Robert Mitchum, Eleanor Parker , and George Hamilton.
Howry and his wife were both members of prominent Oxford families. He was the son of Judge James M. Howry, a distinguished jurist and trustee of the University of Mississippi. She was the daughter of Dr. Robert Otway Carter of the Virginia Carters and a descendent of King Carter. Her family had also resided in the mansion know as "Cleve" in Virginia.
Howry was serving as a federal judge in St. Louis in 1875 when his wife became ill and wanted to return to her family in Oxford. He hired the well-known architect James Stewart to design a home for them to be built in Oxford. Stewart had been the architect for three state capitols in western states and the Savoy Hotel in London.
No expense was spared in the design and construction of the home. All of the woodwork in the home was hand carved and the shutters had also been hand crafted in St. Louis. The plasterwork around the light fixtures give evidence to the love and care involved in the smallest details. Beautiful marble fireplaces, probably imported marble, can be found in three of the downstairs rooms. The home was pre-cut in St. Louis and shipped to Oxford. In Oxford the home was reconstructed on the North Lamar site. It caused quite a bit of interest among the Oxford townsfolk when it arrived in Oxford by wagon and the assemblage of the pre-cut jigsaw pieces began.
Howry had entered the University of Mississippi before the Civil War and had been appointed a Confederate officer after the University closed. After the war he was the first graduate of the Ole Miss Law School and had studied under L. Q. C. Lamar who became his life long friend. Later he was not only a federal judge but he was a trustee of the University, a state representative, U. S. District Attorney for the Northern District of Mississippi, Assistant Attorney General of the United States in President Cleveland's administration, and a judge of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington.
After the death of Howry's wife, the home was sold to Judge R. A. Hill. He was a Republican and had been appointed to his judgeship by a Republican President. He had managed, through his political influence, to retain his fortune through the Civil War. A thing not accomplished by many Southerners during that period. It was Judge Hill who disbarred L. Q. C. Lamar because of an altercation, which also caused the fracturing of the jaw of a federal marshal. This occurred during an infamous Klu Klux Klan trial in 1871. He later reinstated Lamar and he was able to be friends with both the radical Republicans and Democrats during Reconstruction.
One of the other owners of the home around the turn of the century was Daniel Sultan, a native of South Carolina. Sultan moved to Oxford around 1883 and married one of the five Wohlleben daughters, Emma. If you will recall, all of Hermann "Ole Bully" Wohlleben's daughters married into prominent Oxford families. "Ole Bully" was the Confederate who was thought to have stolen the Union payroll during Van Dorn's raid on Holly Springs.
The J. H. Elkins family owned the home during the years of the Oxford Pilgrimage. Elkins was a collector of fine violins. He had an impressive array of valuable old violins, which was on display during the pilgrimage. The collection was the impetus for the name given to the home by the Elkins family. Today the home is owned by Oxford insurance agent Tom Davis and his wife Nan.
Next week 'Oxford's Olden Days' will feature Ammadelle, another home on North Lamar that was built in 1859.
Jack Lamar Mayfield is a fifth generation Oxonian, whose family came to Oxford shortly after the Chickasaw Cession of 1832, and he is the third generation of his family to graduate from the University of Mississippi. He is a former insurance company executive and history instructor at Marshall Academy in Holly Springs, South Panola High School in Batesvile and the Oxford campus of Northwest Community College.
In addition to his weekly blog in HottyToddy.com Oxford's Olden Days, Mayfield is also the author of an Images of America series book titled Oxford and Ole Miss published in 2008 for the Oxford-Lafayette County Heritage Foundation. The Foundation is responsible for restoring the post-Civil War home of famed Mississippi statesman, L.Q.C. Lamar and is now restoring the Burns Belfry, the first African American Church in Oxford.

With the SegWit2x hard fork drawing near, the price of Bitcoin is cooling off. After reaching a new all time high above $7,500 the price slid to below $7,000, and at the time of writing it is hovering just above the 7k mark.
Just prior to this price dip, suggestions were surfacing that Bitcoin was about to surge to $8,000. Will it make one more push for that target prior to the hard fork? This remains to be seen. With so much uncertainty and confusion over what exactly will happen with SegWit2x, the market is even more difficult to predict than usual.
Regular commentators in the Bitcoin space vary in their pricing opinions from up to $20,000 by year's end, to, it's reached a top for the year and may fall to $5,000 after the fork. Who's right, if anyone, will unfold in the coming months. The one thing that's certain, is that it's very risky to leave your Bitcoin on an exchange during Segwit2x. Read, Don't Lose Your Bitcoin During the SegWit2x Hard Fork: Secure it Now for more details.
Once your Bitcoin is secure, it's important to take a long term view of its value. When there are wild price fluctuations and uncertainty in the market, it's easy to make rash decisions. The tale of Bitcoin's history, so far, is that those who haven't panicked or made impulsive decisions during turbulent times have come out on top. Be one of them.

Report: At least 7 teams interested in Paul Pierce
Brooklyn Nets free agent Paul Pierce might hit his 37th birthday in October, but that doesn't mean he won't have his suitors. Nearly a quarter of the league has contacted Pierce regarding his free agency: the Portland Trail Blazers, Memphis Grizzlies, Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, and Los Angeles Clippers, according to Marc Stein of ESPN:
Blazers, Grizzlies, Bulls, Mavericks, Rockets … teams I'm told called tonight to register interest in Brooklyn's Paul Pierce BESIDES Clips
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 1, 2014
This report was as of last night, and it's possible that more teams have contacted Pierce since then.
The Nets have not made Pierce an offer yet, and Billy King said Tuesday morning that he's willing to let Pierce's market set itself before deciding what offer to tender him. Pierce and King had lunch earlier in June to talk about their future, though that future presumably included Jason Kidd.
As for the teams that contacted him, only the Mavericks and Rockets can make him an offer bigger than the taxpayer mid-level exception of $10 million spread over three years. The Bulls can offer him a bigger contract if they decide to amnesty Carlos Boozer, a possibility we looked at earlier this summer.
Related: Chicago Bulls interested in Paul Pierce?
The Nets own Pierce's full Bird rights, meaning they can sign him to any contract up to the maximum salary. But the Nets, who spent money in the last year like they're printing it in the PNY Center and lost it like they were going out of business entirely, plan to reel in their free-spending ways. "We're not gonna go crazy, but we understand the value that he has for us and the impact and we'd like him back," King said of Pierce.

I chuckled a bit over the buzz Yahoo got when they launched Yahoo Search Suggest earlier this month because I knew something even better was coming: Yahoo Search Assist. Finally, it's going live and in the wild for lucky people who are selected at random for testing. If all goes well, eventually everyone will get to use this new search refinement feature that I find very compelling.
Yahoo Search Assist is smart, in the sense that it shows up when you need it. Yahoo Search Suggest, as well as Google Suggest (and other tools like them), are cool in how they start to suggest things as you type. But often, you don't need those suggestions. You get them because both tools are dumb. They don't know how to appear when you really want them. They're just always on.
Search Assist is selective. Ever had one of those moments when you start to type in a query, enter a word and then pause because you're not quite sure what other words to add to it? Search Assist senses this. It notes that you've paused, takes that as a sign you need help and magically makes suggestions appear below the search box. Cool!
In addition, you don't just get suggestions that contain some of the letters you initially type. Search Assist goes beyond the original word to suggest related topics. To do this, it brings back an old friend. AltaVista Prisma.
Cast your mind back to 2002, when AltaVista made one of its last attempts to remind people that it used to be the search engine of choice. AltaVista Prisma was a system that scanned the first 50 listings that were retrieved for any search you did, analyzed all the words in those pages and used them to pick out 12 additional terms you might want to try. Need some history? Here are reviews from back then from Pandia, Information Today, Search Engine Watch (written by Search Engine Land's Chris Sherman, from when he was there) and ResourceShelf — along with the press release.
Search Assist operates similarly to Prisma, though the suggestions are based on the top 20 pages that are found for a search, rather than the first 50 results. In addition, the integration is much slicker.
Let's go through some screenshots (plus a screencast below, for those who want to see it all flow together).
page, after the words "Also try:"
Lego we have with my sons this summer, and it's a nightmare task.

Artsakh welcomes Honolulu-Stepanakert 'friendship city' effort
By Asbarez | Tuesday, 12 December 2017
Honolulu at night
STEPANAKERT—Earlier this month, Honolulu City Council member Kimberly Marcos Pine expressed her and the city council's intentions and efforts toward establishing a "friendship city" with Stepanakert, the capital of Artsakh.
Artsakh's foreign ministry welcomed the initiative with its press office saying: "The establishment of such relations will make a significant contribution to the development and expansion of the cooperation between Artsakh and the U.S. State of Hawaii."
"Establishment of bilateral ties remains one of the priorities of our foreign policy agenda. The authorities of Artsakh will continue their efforts aimed at expanding the decentralized cooperation with foreign countries and implementing joint practical programs in different spheres," added the statement.
Honolulu is the capital and the largest city of Hawaii. On March 29, 2016, the House of Representatives of the State of Hawaii adopted a resolution recognizing the Republic of Artsakh, and on April 20, 2016, the Honolulu County and City Council adopted another resolution in support of the continued efforts of the Republic of Artsakh and its authorities to guarantee the rights of the citizens of Artsakh.


The Irish Gothic fiction tradition is a central one in terms of Irish writing, and, according to many critics, one of the most important connections between many of the writers in this tradition is their inhabitation of an "Anglo-Irish", "Ascendancy" world, though we need to acknowledge that these terms elide much in the way of class, theological and political difference, and it is best to be more specific.
In an influential formulation, Robert Fitzroy Foster argues that the Irish Protestant Ascendancy, especially Charles Robert Maturin and Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu "pioneered the nineteenth-century tradition of Irish supernatural fiction" as an expression of their investment in "Protestant Magic", which included Freemasonry, folklore and esoteric philosophies like Swedenborgianism. This is a view echoed by Terence Francis Eagleton, for whom the "fact that Anglo-Irish writers […] should have exhibited such fascination with madness and the occult, terror and the supernatural" is explicable because the Gothic operated as that community's "political unconscious […] the place where its fears and fantasies most definitely emerge".
In a previous study, I, too, argued that the Gothic is best seen as an expression of what I called the "Irish Anglican Imagination". Although this apparently obvious relationship between Irish Anglicans and Irish Gothic has been challenged in recent years, one possible reason for the attractiveness of the Gothic for the Anglican community in Ireland is that it is a genre peculiarly obsessed with questions of identity. As Robert Miles has argued, the Gothic is particularly concerned with "representations of the fragmented subject", and Irish Anglicans had to tackle a great deal of such fragmentation in the eighteenth-, nineteenth- and twentieth-centuries as a function of what Toby Christopher Barnard has called this community's "crisis of identity". Indeed, the difficulties and upheavals in Irish Anglican identity throughout its history have been so great as to pose serious problems to historians who want to provide a convenient, shorthand term to label this community.
"Finding yourself" might be a rather irritating hobby of far too many in these post-modern times, but identity has always been a tricky problem for us humans. The inhabitants of Ireland are, of course, notorious and perennial navel gazers, perpetually asking what it means to be Irish and dogged in our desire to embrace (good football players) or reject (bad novelists) potential candidates depending on the national mood. Though clearly, "Irish identity" means a great deal to us, we have not been without some helpful analysts who could not see what all the existential fuss was about. In the early eighteenth century, Philip Yorke, later the first earl of Hardwicke, had a simple explanation of "Irishness". As he explained in the House of Commons, "the subjects of Ireland were to be considered in two respects, as English and Irish, that the Irish were a conquered people, and the English a colony transplanted hither and as a colony subject to the law of the mother country". This Manichean version of Irish identity was, however, unsatisfactory to most who lived on this benighted island, not least the "English" colonialists who became almost tormented in their search for the Self. Toby Christopher Barnard warns historians not to overestimate the existential unease of the Irish Anglican community and insists that "the inhabitants of eighteenth-century Ireland agonised less about their own identities than do the rootless and perplexed enquirers of the late twentieth-century", but of course, this goes without saying (not least because we are living in a post-Freudian age), and in no way mitigates against the kinds of uncertainties evident in the expressions of existential angst found in the ruminations of Irish Anglicans.
Irish Anglicans certainly thought they constituted a discernible community in the late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century. Ireland, as Sir Richard Cox put it, was divided sharply into civilised Anglicans and barbaric Catholics, and he most definitely lived in Hibernia Anglicana (1689–90). William Molyneux explained the sense of a unity of purpose many within this community felt, pointing out that "Your Majesty has not in all Your Dominions a People more United and Steady to your Interests, than the Protestants of Ireland".
Commentators have tended to agree that the different communities inhabiting the island of Ireland encountered the world in often startlingly different ways, and that cultural differences became distinct ways of understanding reality, psychological divisions which made conflicts and tensions harder to resolve. For example, Oliver Ormond Gerard Michael MacDonagh's brilliant and seminal 'States of Mind: Two Centuries of Anglo-Irish Conflict, 1780–1980' (1983) ascribes very different views of time and space to different communities living in Ireland, discussing things such as "the Ulster Protestant sense of territoriality", "the Irish nationalist […] concept of space", "the peasant's view of property". It is important to note that Oliver Ormond Gerard Michael MacDonagh's study is an attempt to trace mental states, to document not events but collective mental attitudes. In his seminal study of competing Irish cultures, Francis Stewart Leland Lyons, too, argues that much of the conflict in Irish history can be put down to the fact that its different communities understand the world in such different ways that they have become "seemingly irreconcilable cultures, unable to live together or to live apart, caught inextricably in the web of their tragic history".
Discussion of "mentalities" is actually quite common in historical and sociological research. "Social memory" has been brilliantly theorised by Paul Connerton as a communal memory which involves folklore, mythology, tradition and literature. In his study of "collective memory" Maurice Halbwachs insists that individual memory is best seen through the prism of collective memory since the individual constantly depends on her version of the past being reflected and corroborated by the community to which she belongs. We remember the past not merely as individuals but as parts of a collective and community — "knowable communities" have memories, and one way of getting at these memories is through an analysis of the literature that the community has produced. This book argues that the Irish Gothic tradition, for example, is one, very telling, way to examine the mental world of the community that (generally) produced it: the Irish Anglican community.
Let me acknowledge that there is a genuine problem in attempting to generalise and articulate a view about the mentalité and psychology, but also the general characteristics, of a given culture, and that it is not only inadvisable but impossible in the strictest sense to essentialise any given set of people because there will always be exceptions and differing versions of the same community. It is certainly strictly true to say that "the Irish mind" or "the Protestant imagination" or "the English personality" do not exist except in the most hypothetical and abstract terms. There are a few more points to be made in respect to this, however, the first being the rather obvious one that substituting the prefix "an", or "one version of", for the definite article, does not really help matters, and that qualifications while useful can be not only cumbersome but very misleading. After all, surely only the paranoid reader would consider that terms such as these are meant to be treated literally in the first place. So, although I can easily concede the point that "the Irish Anglican imagination" does not exist, I continue to insist that it is perfectly possible to discuss "the Irish Anglican imagination".
Finding the correct term(s) to describe the post-Cromwellian Protestant settlers in Ireland has always, of course, been a peculiarly difficult task. Not that people have been unforthcoming with suggestions: "the Anglo-Irish", "the Protestant interest", "the king's Irish subjects", "the English in Ireland", "English Protestants of Ireland", "the whole people of Ireland", "the Protestant Ascendancy". Deciding between these labels is not simply a matter of politics (usually explicit) but often of ontology (usually implicit), and all decisions are in the end self-defeating, not least because members of the community themselves could not make up their own minds.
Irish Anglicans constituted a community that was, to say the least, conflicted about its own identity, and often split by very public disagreements. Many were deeply attached to the English connection and asserted an English identity very strongly. Others quickly adapted to being in Ireland and appropriated an Irish identity — indeed, many styled themselves the "whole people of Ireland" (ignoring the substantial body of Catholics who had a rather different perspective on national identity). Others hesitated between Irishness and Englishness, walking the existential high-wire along the hyphen. Scott C. Breuninger usefully argues that many thinkers in the "transitional phase" in the 1720s "displayed a bifurcated vision of 'Irishness': a type of dual identity dependent upon specific contexts". Others adopted a different identity depending on the audience they were addressing: to one group they would adopt the tones of the English settler, to another they could speak as if they had deep roots in Ireland.
Attitudes to the "native" population (primarily meaning the Catholics) contributed to the identity crisis, as did the attitude of the "natives" to the newcomers. Again, some Catholics saw the Anglican community as a gang of interlopers, invading aliens displacing the natural inhabitants of the country; others (though fewer in number) embraced the Anglican community more congenially. It is generally accepted that there is a historical dimension to the identity crisis: in the seventeenth- and early-eighteenth-centuries, Anglicans in Ireland felt reluctant to call themselves "Irish" for a variety of reasons — not least that they had inherited a view of the Irish as degenerate savages that would make anyone hesitant about adopting the term to describe themselves. However, slowly, over the course of the eighteenth-century, and especially as Anglicans in Ireland began to realise that, from an English perspective, they were as Irish as the native Catholics, the term "Irish" became more acceptable, and indeed, increasingly attractive, and many began to adopt the label with enthusiasm. Such a chronology is, of course, a largely theoretical construction and bears only strained resemblance to the social and psychological realities of living in this existentially confused community. The constant re-making of Irish Anglican identity should come as no surprise to those acquainted with sociological and philosophical theories of identity. As Steven Shapin, a historian of the seventeenth-century points out, "identity has to be continually made and is continually revised and remade, throughout an individual career in contingent social and cultural settings".
It is certainly understandable that Irish Anglicans reacted to English perceptions. After all, according to Charles Taylor, "our identity is partly shaped by recognition or its absence, often by the misrecognition of others — and so a person or group of people can suffer real damage, real distortion, if the people or society around them mirror back to them a confining or demeaning or contemptible picture of themselves." To be Anglican in Ireland meant to be considered too Irish by English commentators, yet generally not Irish enough by Catholic fellow inhabitants of the island, and this was not a comfortable existential position in which to be stuck. Being stuck "in-between" two antagonistic or at least sceptical interpreters, surely helped in the development of what Dame Mary Douglas has called an "enclave" mentality. An "enclave" is a shared cultural space in which ideas about time and space, ethics, physical nature, metaphysical reality and human relationships are held in common so as to allow the individuals who occupy that space to negotiate their relationship to reality and to others outside the enclave as successfully as possible. The cultural ideas shared by the individuals and groups within the enclave have to be both flexible enough to allow genuine engagements with reality, the external world and changing historical circumstances but also static enough to ensure a robust understanding of where the borders of the enclave lie.
The most important issue for the enclave is the mapping of its own limits and the policing and maintenance of its boundaries, keeping its members inside and blocking the entrance of detested outsiders.

Though I came from a family where no one I had ever known of had pursued a career in the performing arts, I knew that I wanted to be an actor at the age of 6. I grew up for a while in Dallas, TX, then relocated with my family to San Angelo, TX at the age of 10. I attended public school where my hunger for theatre was made even more ravenous by some inspiring instructors.
I owe so much to my parents, who encouraged me to pursue whatever made me happy. I spent a few very happy years at Belmont University, from which I graduated with a BFA in Musical Theatre.
I love knitting, writing, going to new restaurants and eating weird things, spending way too much time in coffee shops, and thinking up the best/worst puns imaginable.

Q: Azure Data Factory: Storing sensitive values for a linked service outside the linked service I have an Azure Data Factory (V2) and a pipeline that connects to multiple external machines over 1 SFTP linked service.
I have fully parameterized the linked service. There are 2 parameters which relate to authentication in the API that are not currently supported for Azure Key Vault; SSH Host Fingerprint and Username. These are both required for the linked service to operate.
The arguments for these parameters will change depending on the connection that is required and therefore cannot be hardcoded.
One possibility is to capture these values in a database and read them in at runtime. A possible problem is that the responsible persons for security would not accept this. Which might lead to a conversation about encrypting the values, which would not work because the values would need to be decrypted prior to usage by Azure Data Factory.
I also thought about having a database owned by the security team with these values, and it not be accessible to engineering. We would of course enable secure input and secure output in the activity that reads this database. However this only prevents logging of the values, ultimately we can still access these values.
I need this to be possible to meet requirements, but the solution needs to be secure and not in a trivial way. I really don't think it is acceptable to have these values un-secured.

A: You can store the sensitive data in a key vault and get the value from key vault via web activity.

Ana Maria Cuervo, M.D., Ph.D., Elected to the National Academy of Sciences
1-May-2019 1:05 PM EDT, by Albert Einstein College of Medicine
May 1, 2019—(BRONX, NY)—Ana Maria Cuervo, M.D., Ph.D., cell biologist and internationally recognized expert on the cellular process autophagy, has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). Dr. Cuervo is professor of developmental and molecular biology, of anatomy and structural biology, and of medicine, co-director of the Institute for Aging Research, and holds the Robert and Renée Belfer Chair for the Study of Neurodegenerative Diseases at Einstein.
The NAS, a private, nonprofit institution established in 1863, announced its election of 100 new members and 25 foreign associates "in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research." Forty percent of the newly elected members are women, which the academy noted is the most ever elected in any one year.
"Dr. Cuervo's election is a richly deserved honor," said Gordon Tomaselli, M.D., the Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz Dean at Einstein. "She is a wonderfully respected and beloved member of our community and we are all delighted. We happily join her and her lab in celebrating this outstanding recognition."
Dr. Cuervo is a leader in the field of autophagy, the cellular waste management process that is key to human health. Among her early major discoveries was finding that autophagy is highly selective, not random as previously thought. She and her collaborators discovered that specialized proteins guide old and damaged proteins to lysosomes for digestion, a process they dubbed "chaperone-mediated autophagy."
Dr. Cuervo also discovered that autophagy slows with age. Her current research focuses on developing therapies to restore autophagy, thereby preventing the accumulation of toxic protein byproducts that lead to age-related conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and cancer.

"It's a good way to start the day," Dr. Cuervo said of her election, which she at first didn't believe was real. Sifting through hundreds of congratulatory emails from colleagues and collaborators around the world, Dr. Cuervo realized the news was true. "I'm very happy for the lab. The team really deserved it—they are the ones driving the work."
She also thanked her mentors, Erwin Knecht, Ph.D., (Centro de Investigaciόn Prίncipe Felipe, Valencia, Spain) and the late J. Fred "Paulo" Dice (Tufts University School of Medicine), and her husband, Fernando Macian-Juan, M.D., Ph.D., professor of pathology at Einstein, for their support.
Dr. Cuervo is the 14th current or former faculty member elected to the academy, joining Robert Singer (2013), William Jacobs, Jr. (2013), Vern Schramm (2007), Susan Horwitz (2005), Stanley Nathenson (1988), Dominick Purpura (1983), Matthew Scharff (1982), Frank Lilly (1983), Michael V.L. Bennett (1981), Salome Waelsch (1979), Alex Novikoff (1974), Berta Scharrer (1967), and Harry Eagle (1963).

Owners of the building that housed Jamie's Trattoria in Chelmsford have spoken about what the unit should become.
Aquila, which developed and runs Bond Street, purchased the building that housed Jamie Oliver's Chelmsford restaurant for just under £5.4million.
Opened by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver in 2014, the restaurant was the first Jamie's in Essex.
However, the brand announced in January this year that it would close 12 of its 37 restaurants, including the Chelmsford branch.
Now, according to the property's owners, it would suit becoming another restaurant.
It closed for good on March 15 and in February it was reported that Jamie's Italian Staff were owed £2.2m and that the company owes debt of around £71.5m.
Despite the demise of Jamie's, Neil Ridley, development and investment consultant of building owners Aquila, is confident the space will suit another restaurant.
"We are just about to start marketing it," he said.
"It is a substantial fitted restaurant and it will suit a restauranteur.
"It's unfortunate that Jamie's Italian didn't work out but people will have their own opinions on why it didn't."
Following on from the success of the Bond Street development a number of restaurants, bars and businesses are said to be keen in coming to the city.
"It's clear to see Chelmsford is re-establishing itself as a retail and lifestyle destination," added Mr Ridley.
"The fact is you look around at restaurants now they are really busy and it can be very hard to book a seat.
"We have come from a point five years ago when there was practically nothing at all.

Let's deviate from the usual physical therapy management discussions we have and in this blog, focus on physical therapy management in reference to clinical intervention.
Physical therapy management should be dedicated to the providing of services to patients who need to restore the proper function of parts of their bodies. Physical therapy is also used to improve the mobility of some patients. In addition, the relief of pain and the prevention of physical disability is important. Patients with injuries or diseases need this kind of help. If an entrepreneur is not focused on physical therapy management they will never be able to get to what they want to be doing more, namely helping people. Management of a practice is the second most important part of being a physical therapist and cannot be done without.
Physical therapy management allows a therapist to help a patient gain the independence they had before an accident or illness. Improving the range of motion, strengthening the affected parts of the body and heightening the functions of the body parts is high on the priority list. For other patients with osteoporosis a training program should be put into place to allow them to be active and without pain through the development of exercise regimens that reduce the fracture risk as well as improve the function of muscles. Physical therapy management techniques help a therapist puts these kinds of programs together.
Heart patients can benefit from a therapist's physical therapy management techniques. A therapist can help a patient understand and manage their afflictions by educating them. Resources can be referenced and treatment strategies can be implemented to help the heart patients regain their independence after a heart attack or other issue. Physical therapy techniques can help the heart patients build their stamina for day to day activities. With the proper examination of a heart patient's history the therapist can help them by setting out the proper therapy regimen for them to follow when at home.
Physical therapy management techniques encourage the studying of medical histories as well as testing the strength of the patients when they begin therapy. Balance and coordination is a big concern for therapists as well as the overall posture and muscle performance. Motor function is tested as well as respiration (especially for heart patients). A patient's ability to function independently is paramount and is the main focus of physical therapy management techniques. Treatment plans are studied, devised and developed for patients in order to ensure the optimum development of muscle coordination after an accident, surgery or illness.

Male sling offers alternative to AUS after RP
Istanbul, Turkey--For men with mild to moderate incontinence following radical prostatectomy, the minimally invasive perineal bone-anchored male sling (BAMS) may offer an interesting treatment alternative to the gold standard treatment, artificial urinary sphincter (AUS), according to a new study that compared the efficacy and functional durability of both treatment modalities.
Intermediate-term results demonstrated a higher success rate in terms of cured/improved rates in the male sling group (85%) versus the AUS group (75%).
The retrospective investigation involved chart reviews of 56 men suffering from mild to moderate post-radical prostatectomy incontinence secondary to sphincteric insufficiency. Twenty-seven of the patients underwent the bone-anchored sling procedure using the InVance (American Medical Systems, Minnetonka, MN), and 29 underwent placement of an artificial sphincter (American Medical Systems).
Data were presented at the European Association of Urology annual congress.
Preoperative VLPP, Qmax, PVR values, and presence of detrusor overactivity were not statistically different between the groups. The postoperative UCLA/RAND scores in BAMS patients also showed no statistically significant difference from that of the patients in the AUS group (Mann-Whitney Utest, 11.8±5.3 vs. 12.1±4.4, respectively), Dr. Singla reported. The mean patient age in both groups was 69.9±8.5 years (range 50 to 85 years), and mean follow-up time was just over 22 months in both groups.
A direct comparison of the two methods revealed that, of the 11 unsuccessful surgeries, four were sling operations (36%) and seven were artificial sphincter surgeries (64%). (The data for only 28 of 29 AUS patients were available for statistical evaluation.)
Twenty-three bone-anchored sling and 21 artificial sphincter patients had successful surgeries. Of the 19 patients who experienced improvements in continence, six (32%) had sling placements and 13 (68%) received an artificial sphincter. Of the cases completely cured of incontinence (25 patients), 17 (68%) were sling patients and nine (32%) were AUS patients.
Different for severe incontinence The investigators noted no major complications such as urethral erosion, infection, or mechanical problems that would have required re-operation within the intermediate period of follow-up (22 months). They suggested that performing BAMS surgery may therefore offer a viable and perhaps better alternative to AUS surgery.
An audience member attending the presentation expressed concern about cases of severe incontinence, as this comparison did not explore the success rates in such cases. Dr. Singla maintained that in severe cases (more than three pads/day), the male sling is inferior to an artificial sphincter (50% vs. 65% in this data). He explained that currently established surgical options included transurethral injection of bulking agents, sling procedures, and AUS, only the last of which has shown good results in severe incontinence. In prior published male sling studies, the sling failed to show good results in severe incontinence, Dr. Singla said.
As a next step, Dr. Singla plans to investigate the placement of a minimally invasive adjustable continence therapy device (ProACT [Uromedica, Plymouth, MN]), which is under investigation in the United States. The device puts extrinsic compression on the membranous urethra in cases of severe post-prostatectomy incontinence. A longer follow-up time alone would ultimately establish whether the technique represents a viable long-term alternative to AUS, he noted.
Dr. Singla is a paid consultant for American Medical Systems.

ATC Improvements, Xiaolin Showdown Characters, Neutral, Characters
Affiliated with: Bailey Family
Place of origin: 🇺🇸 Texas, USA
Introduced in: Big as Texas
Last seen in: The Black Vipers (episode)
Voiced by: Greg Baldwin
Daddy Bailey is the father of Jessie and Clay Bailey. He first appeared in Big as Texas.
Mr. Bailey was the head of the Bailey family and a rancher. He lives on his ranch in Texas and raises cattle.
Mr. Bailey was tough, strong willed and opinionated, and an all-around cowboy. He was also a little prideful, but still loving towards his family. He had doubts about Clay being at the Xiaolin Temple for a short time, but then he saw that Clay had built character and grown into a real man because of his experiences there, so he allowed him to stay.
Mr. Bailey with his son, Clay
Mr. Bailey wore a cowboy outfit accented with a ten gallon hat, cowboy boots, and the Star Hanabi (which he referred to as the "Lone Star of Texas"), a family heirloom passed from father to son through the Bailey family line. He had brown hair, and a large brown mustache.
Clay Bailey deeply respected his father and looked up to him. He held his "Daddy" in high regarded. Mr. Bailey gladly gave his son the Star Hanabi after he realized that Clay really was a man. Mr. Bailey was very proud of his son.
According to Jesse, Mr. Bailey had always treated Clay with more favor than her. She felt that she was always being compared to her brother, and that she always came in second. She was also upset that Clay was allowed to go to "Monk School" while she was left behind. Because of this, she joined the Black Vipers Gang. Nothing else was mentioned about her relationship with her father, so it is unknown whether or not this conflict in her life was resolved; although, we do know that she has made things right with Clay.

And Still They Rise: Parent Power in Philadelphia
by Tre Johnson posted on August 18, 2017 August 21, 2017
"Don't mess it up."
Those words rode the bus with Quibila Divine in the late 1960s and early 70s from North Philadelphia to the predominantly white northeast neighborhood where she would be among a cohort of African-American kids integrating at Solis Cohen, the local elementary school.
Image source: Flickr Creative Commons bit.ly/2whPCMu
The commute to the school, a product of the desegregation mandate issued by Pennsylvania as a result of Brown vs. Board of Education, took Quibila three separate bus rides. This left plenty of time to reflect on her mother's four word directive, given in the living room of their house, a common gathering place for many of the kids in the neighborhood. Taking those words to heart, Quibila enrolled in the northeast schools and thrived despite the almost daily racial animus. From day one she recalls being treated poorly—even being called "nigger" by her classmates—and yet still maintained her status as an honor roll student.
Over time Quibila joined the track team, racing every day alongside students that reviled her. Against the backdrop of all of this was the obvious racial climate that had riven the country in half: daily protests, speeches from leaders of the civil rights movement, even the music had contributed to a fragile, volatile climate that implicated the city of Philadelphia. As Quibila and her cohort endured the everyday racial trials that ranged from epithets to violence, the city boiled over occasionally, most notably with a 1964 race riot in North Philadelphia that left nearly 350 citizens and police officers injured, caused $25 million in damages and claimed one life. Eventually, the commute was too much—too violent, too far, too bigoted—so Quibila returned to the schools in her own neighborhood. There she finished school and enrolled as a marketing major at Drexel University, a well-known Philadelphia university that still managed to feel worlds away from her block.
Just two years later Quibila's younger sister, Sylvia Simms, had an entirely different experience with the northeast schools. If the older sister's schooling was defined by being on the defensive, Sylvia's was much more about being on the offensive. Instead of shirking and circumventing the racial animus encountered in the northeast, Sylvia's cohort of classmates leaned into the times, emboldened by the same things that made her older sister more reticent. With an admitted chip on her shoulder ("I always felt like I was the underdog in the family, kind of in Quibila's shadow a bit," Sylvia shared), Sylvia and her friends relished the black militancy and vigilance that emerged as the movement gained steam. At times this proved reckless for her, as her approach to schooling, socializing and rules had her out on the street at hours and with people that weren't productive. Never quite getting into the kind of trouble that could've landed her in court or worse, Sylvia still slid into a different path than her college-going sister. At 17 she had dropped out of school and was having a child.
During this time, Quibila returned home regularly, checking on family and friends. In a familiar way for many people, she was saddened and frustrated by what these visits produced—a mixture of frustration and alienation. College allowed her to be frustrated by how much she saw her community mired in conditions and situations that seemed like perpetual dead ends, and the combination of epiphany and education often left her feeling dedicated but also a bit removed. It was a challenge she was determined to close, particularly after coming home and talking to local kids who were showing her report cards with C's and D's. Those conversations led the sisters to start holding tutoring sessions for local kids in the basement of Sylvia's house. Older kids were recruited to tutor younger kids, with the sisters managing a small but hearty mini-organization that would eventually turn into what they are running together now: PARENT POWER.
Getting PARENT POWER up and running hasn't been an easy road. Along the way both women continued to meet and separate from time to time. Quibila's career took a second life, where she spent a few years in Harrisburg working with the state's Human Relations Commission; ironically the same group that was pushing for the desegregation initiatives that her and her sister lived through. It was during that time that Quibila saw the intersection of education and community services issues, and the inability—at the highest levels—to empower and inform citizens to influence systems to provide what they needed. Simultaneously, Sylvia was in the midst of long career as a bus attendant back in Philadelphia, a role she'd ultimately hold for almost 20 years. That career exposed her to what she saw as school closings and student reassignments grew—an inconsistency in quality student services for special needs students. These situations awakened the ever-present underdog in her, and over time she became vocal about advocating for the kids she knew, angering her administration to the point that she was removed from the school.
In 2005, Quibila returned to Philadelphia to attend to their ill mother who would eventually pass. She joined her sister as an employee at the School District of Philadelphia, seeking to make more of an education investment and connection after her Human Relations Commission days in Harrisburg and a role at the Pennsylvania Department of Education. As the director in the Office of Parent and Family Engagement, Quibila applied those Harrisburg and Department lessons to her work, starting a series of parent- and community-centered empowerment initiatives. Her work at the Department was used as a model for the district's School Advisory Councils, combined community members, parents and school staff together to provide input on school operations and practices. She also piloted a series of parent workshops via Parent University, which focused on equipping district parents with tools around understanding lesson plans, curriculum, addressing issues in schools and preparing kids for college and career paths. But Parent University also meant addressing the parents' needs as well, providing classes around computer training and refreshing math and literacy skills.
Meanwhile, it was a trying, political time for the School District of Philadelphia. Superintendent Dr. Arlene Ackerman's leadership and approach was focused largely on race and equity, often challenging the comforts of the city. The district had confronted issues on school selection and quality access for years, and it's likely that the dynamics around those themes are what spurred the sisters to do the work they've come to be known for: empowerment and community engagement. As Sylvia was eventually removed from the district, she spent more and more time doing the work of PARENT POWER, gradually cultivating a base of black and brown parents who were not only being educated about education and policy, but also about how to advocate for resources for their schools. From computer training to restocking libraries to informing parents about their rights around engaging with schools, Quibila and Sylvia learned to move about the city in ways that has at times raised both ire and respect. This amassing of power and community support drew the attention of the city, enough to get Sylvia appointed as a School Reform Commissioner on the district's hybrid state- and city-appointed school board in 2013.
The sisters have continued to persist with community work, advocating around quality, access and empowerment in ways that seem to have an echo back to their childhood Philly days. This sort of ambition, alliance and advocacy persistence hasn't come without consequences; their work and their unique presence in the Philadelphia education landscape has often been met with controversy, forcing these two sisters to navigate an already notoriously political terrain with a nimbleness that most wouldn't care to attempt. During her tenure as a school board commissioner, Sylvia found herself in the line of fire on several occasions.
One time she was recorded scolding a group of activist students at a public screening of the Hollywood film Won't Back Down, telling the group from the local Philadelphia Student Union that they were "probably in failing schools" in answer to their chant of "Save our schools!" The optics of the incident were jarring: here was the well-known former community organizer, now a member of a wildly unpopular school board presiding over a struggling, charter-heavy, school-closing district, shouting down a group of black kids, many of whom likely hailed from the same types of neighborhoods Sylvia grew up in.
Not long after there was an even bigger incident, where, in the middle of a school reform commission meeting, Sylvia reversed Superintendent Hite's decision not to convert a neighborhood school, Wister Elementary, to Mastery Charter Schools, a high-performing network in the city. Four hours into a school board meeting, Sylvia walked on a resolution to reverse that decision, citing her conversations with parents and community members dismayed by the school's persistently failing conditions. The move was emblematic of the complicated, complex lines around standing up for disempowered families, the heightened tensions around school conversions, race and achievement. Not helping matters was the murmurs that Quibila, deep in the work of parent advocacy and empowerment, was seen conversing with families in the surrounding Wister community, talking with families about the opportunities and potential with Mastery running the school.
You can almost hear their mother's voice echoing in all this: "messy." Through it all, the sisters have continued to do their work. Their current platform, Parent Leaders Advisory Network (PLAN), is back in their familiar wheelhouse of collaborating with families and local entities to push conversations. It means that they continue to be caught in a knotted world where "quality"—a word that the two women use often to talk about the importance of moving the community forward—has become synonymous with an educational agenda most closely associated with the education reform movement rhetoric. Their focus nowadays on parent convening, political action, school improvement and advocacy is likely a beautiful mess in a city still divided by charter and traditional school debates, funding crises and the emergence of similar types of parent advocacy groups that trend whiter and more affluent than the families they tend to work with.
Advocacy splits in all sorts of directions, routinely making heroes and villains of people sometimes in the same conversations, let alone the same week. There isn't a linear path in long-term advocacy; it's not a neat, linear ladder climbing from issue to issue, success to success.
It doesn't always build, and Quibila and Sylvia's work shows that it's actually prone to political, financial and professional setbacks. For these women—sometimes accused as opaque, sometimes as too open and raw—there isn't the luxury of tiring of the work, the city, the community and packing up and moving to a new opportunity. Philadelphia has continually changed over their lifetime, becoming aesthetically more cosmopolitan as narratives and alliances change on the dime of the city's reinvestment strategy. And yet for all of that, some persistent things remain. High poverty and low literacy levels still stain the city. Black and brown children, despite the strides to reverse the story, remain disproportionately locked in substandard district and charter school conditions.
Thanks to the center city corridor of housing and business development, Philadelphia has slowly acquired a new brand and a new story. But if you ride far enough on SEPTA to the further reaches out, in some of those same North Philadelphia areas where these women once rode buses around the city as two black girls, and see how little has changed.
It's progress, but it's messy.

RE: Minor Axis Army Pieces
Here's the actual numbers of German vehicles sold to the Axis minors in toto (as best as I can find them), in order from most to least numerous:
1. Panzer IV: 387
2. StuG III: 252
3. Panzer 35/38: 214
4. Hetzer: 75
5. Panzer III: 31
6. SdKfz 222/223: 20
7. Panzer I: 8
8. Panther: 5
9. Tiger I: 3
The one pause this gives me is that there are alot fewer Panzer III's than I had expected; I think that when I was just scanning over the lists, rather than taking the time to actually add them all up, I was seeing all the Panzer IV's and StuGIII's and mentally filling in more Panzer III's than I should have. Of course, these raw #'s don't tell us which versions were being used. And Panzer III's were being used by 3/4 of the countries in question. Still, the overall picture makes me think that maybe the Panzer IV is an even higher priority than the Panzer III, here. (Though I know the Panzer III might be a more popular choice.) Of course, if you do both and do them in German colors, you haven't really lost anything, because the German-colored versions of the set could then also serve as a "supplement for the German supplement set", and you wouldn't have to do any of them in both… But if I could find out for sure which Panzer IV version was more used by the minors, you could also do a different Panzer IV in both sets, one early short-barrel and one late long-barrel. I suspect that the minors might have used the earlier version more, but I don't know for sure.
Have you decided on the line-up for the German supplement set yet?

RE: HBG - Axis & Allies Parts/Accessories and Custom Piece Sets Store!
Yeah, it's one thing to have a set of advanced weapons that are 1 notch (or even half a notch) better than the typical, but so many of the new 3d-printed "expansions" just seem so out there…

@DrLarsen:
To me it seems simple: if you're going to do Super-BB's, do them for everyone before you stop and do flying boats for some nation…
Wait, on second thought, just skip the stupid flying boats altogether… And those silly gliders and all the other ridiculous and useless units (Landkreuzer P 1000 Ratte, here's looking at you!) Has anyone actually gotten any use out of those flying boats or gliders or ridiculous uber-weapons? Am I missing something here…?!?
Well, I hope you're wrong about the de-emphasis on sculpts, too. I try to spend money on all kinds of HBG products to show my support, but it's the new pieces that make the whole thing worthwhile for me.
As for the 3d modelled ones, I've ordered quite a few, both from the HBG site and directly from Shapeways, but I continually find it frustrating that they're such a mixed bag… So far we have available super-BB's for Germany, Japan and France… and the Netherlands… but not the USA or UK? We have a "Taiho-Kai" but no Midway or Malta? And does anyone get what his obsession is for flying boats? I can't for the life of me come up with a use for them…
Meanwhile, though the Amerika piece set + its expansion gives us nearly every jet or heavy tank we could want, they're available only in a very limited color palette, so they're not in the colors that I've been using for elites (Dark Green for US, Red for Japan & Black for Germany.) On the other hand, if I switch and have the darker colors be the "normal" and the lighter Amerika shades be the "elites/ heavies" the holes in HBG's legacy line-up make this difficult, too. (e.g., no small ships at all available in the dark green…) It's like the company has ADD and can't focus on the little details enough to maintain consistency or logically-fleshed-out model lines across individual products…
Got mine too, last week, and have to generally concur with the mixed feelings: quite happy that they're finally out and give us some great new options (Pz IV, PBB, greatcoat inf, etc) but a little disappointed in the mold quality/ detail. I actually thought the PBB was even worse than the Bismark! The Leipzig was rather misshapen, too, but it's so small on this scale that its a little hard to tell, really. After the amazing near-perfection in the sculpts/ molds for the Amerika & Amerika Expansion pieces, this was a real let-down… but then we should maintain perspective: compared head-to-head with oob pieces, even the worst ones in this set aren't bad in terms of detail; just maybe a little less… oh… "crisp" I would say, maybe partly because of the duller, less "shiny" plastic material (which is consistent with previous HBG products.)
So, overall, while I'd say that they only fall a bit short of the original/ usual HBG standards; it's just because they fall so far short of the raised bar that was the Amerika piece set that it seems like it's worse than it really is…
Was there something radically different in the whole production process between the Amerika set and the Germany #3 set that explains the big quality gap, though? It does seem a little mystifying to me…
Yeah, one way or another, it's a lot of data to try to take in all at once… Which does give some perspective on just how much HBG has accomplished over the years…
Yeah, I noticed that too after I posted. I also attached the MS Word file, so you could try opening or downloading that. I could also try converting it to pdf? Part of the problem is that with 12 sets and almost 30 unit types, it's hard to get them to fit without making them small… But maybe I'm missing a trick?
Aha, it looks like that worked… Now here's the other one, a comprehensive list of all the sculpts HBG has done. Feel free to let me know if I've missed anything and I'll make corrections…
HBG Supplemental Set Piece-Type List C.doc
I thought I'd post this chart that organizes all the current HBG sets/ colors/ nations since I found it helpful in planning/ organizing my own collection… Hopefully this works…

@CWO:
Although they're scaled too big for use in A&A, Navwar has a huge array of 1:3000 scale cast metal warships (WWII and other eras), including some classes which were projected but never laid down or completed.� Â
http://www.navwar.co.uk/nav/pdf/webcat.pdf
http://www.navwar.co.uk/nav/default.asp
I own a small fleet of Navwar WWII-era battleships, though I've never yet gotten around to using them in a tabletop game.�  I've supplemented them with some epoxy WWII-era carriers from Panzerschiffe.�  They're a bit larger scale (1:2400) than my battleships, but the difference isn't too noticeable when they're side by side.�  Navwar has carriers too, but I got the Panzerschiffe ones because they're less expensive; my main interest is in battleships, not so much in carriers, so I didn't bother to invest in a metal carrier fleet.
http://www.panzerschiffe.com/
I actually have a fair # of Navwar & Davco ships in 1/3000 and Panzerschiffen in 1/2400. Â (I basically have 1 of most of the key ship-types for each CA, CV, & BB, though my Navwar range has some gaps, as I found them a little hard to get ahold of over here across the pond…)
But like you said, they're too big for A&A. Â I also tried 1/4800, but they're too small. Â One would want a true "Super-BB/ CV/ CA" to be noticeably bigger, not a little smaller than the standard type. Â I suppose if one replaced entire navies it would work, but I haven't been ready to seriously contemplate this yet… I remain hopeful that HBG will come through with a few more of these and then we'll have a range sized just right…
…But back on topic, HBG's wonderful products:
Just picked up several of their new 3d-printed "expansion" pieces, and I'm quite Impressed. Good concept, too; It gives the option of picking up just a few "advanced" or truly unique units for each nation that you'd never need in bulk, like an H-Class or a "Super-Yamato" or a Taiho armored carrier. I also like having an Alsace and a Bretagne: now at least I have a COUPLE of French ships that aren't Soviet. (It STILL mystifies me why WotC gave France Soviet units; have any of you out there ever even heard of a rational explanation for it?) I don't see the logic of some of the 3-d printed options, though… Short Sunderland sea planes? What would we ever use that for?
What I'm eagerly hoping for to round out the set of "super-ship" expansion pieces is a US Montana super-BB, Midway super-CV, a British Malta super-CV and either a Lion or a Vanguard class for a British super-BB. I know Variable sells 1/1800 Midways and Maltas at least on his Shapeways site, and I bought one of each to paint up for my WW2 "Mini-Museum…" I'm somewhat mystified why he hasn't gotten around to re-sizing at least those two to oh, about 1/4000 or so for HBG to sell as AAA accessories. Heck, seeing as Variable also has a Sovietsky Soyuz in 1/1800, he ought to re-scale that one too, just to give us a complete set of super-BB's… Since the Soyuz was roughly based on the Italian UP41 design, it could be painted (or maybe even printed) in both shades of brown to give a complete set of super-BB's for all the major powers in the game! (Once, that is, they've got a Lion and a Montana to go along with it…)


YAKIMA, Wash. – The Yakima Fire Department finished mopping up hot spots at Fruit Packers Supply Inc. on Sunday, where the day before a fast-moving fire destroyed two steel buildings, a pair of semi-trucks and multiple stacks of cardboard packing material and boxes.
The fire, which officials suspect was a case of arson, caused an estimated $20 million in damage. It was the second fire at the company in a 48-hour window. Both fires are under investigation by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Shift Commander Tom Schneider said the fire department left the scene Sunday morning.
On Sunday afternoon, most of 16th Avenue from River Road to Fruitvale Boulevard – which was closed for the better part of Saturday – was back open.
The fire was first reported at 1:48 a.m. Saturday, and knocked out power to more than 1,000 homes and businesses. Pacific Power's website showed power had been restored by Sunday afternoon.
Saturday's fire resulted in firefighters from a dozen departments or districts being called in to control the blaze, some from as far away as the Lower Valley and Kittitas County. The fire took nearly eight hours to contain.
The first fire at the company started early Thursday morning and caused $1 million in damage.
A company official said the fire, while devastating, will not shut down operations. Employees are expected to resume work Monday.

13 What makeup products did they use in the 1920s?
What were popular hairstyles in the 1920s?
1920's. During the twenties, women opted for very short haircuts due to the prevalent social and cultural rebellion. The most popular hairstyles were the sleek bob, shingle cut, eton crop, cropped curls, and Marcel and Finger Waves.
What was the name of the popular hairstyle that flapper used to have during the Roaring Twenties?
Eton Crop – the Boyish Bob The Eton crop was also known as the boyish bob or the Garçon. It was a very short bob, shaved at the nape and cut above the ears.
What color lipstick was popular in the 20s?
Lipstick. Throughout most of the 1920s, dark red lipsticks were all the rage. Many women used lip color to make their mouth look smaller and rounder. A heart-shaped "Cupid's Bow" lip was arguably the decade's most popular makeup trend.

What was the slang in the 1920s?
Bump off: Kill; also, bump-off; a killing. Burn powder: Fire a gun. Bus: Big car. Butter and egg man: The money man, the man with the bankroll, a yokel who comes to town to blow a big wad in nightclubs.
Why did everyone have short hair in the 20s?
1920's. After the personal freedom allowed them during the World War 1, young women go out to work, get permission to vote, play sports and demand to leave the house unchaperoned. Many women with bobs would also choose to cover up their short hair with hairpiece pins called potstiches.
Why did flappers have short hair?
The goal of this look was to look as much like a little boy as possible, and surprisingly it was a major influence on the appearance of flappers. It was what caused women to cut their hair so short, flatten their breasts with bandages, and change what they wore.
What type of clothing was popular in the 1920s?
The straight skirt was the dominant shape of the 1920s, but flaring skirts were also in fashion. Waists, however, were still quite low, and the form was still quite narrow and drooping. Separate sweater and skirt ensembles, having plain or pleated skirts, also reflected the popular straight cut of the decade.
How did they curl their hair in the 1920s?
The process involved heating up a "Hot comb" with a wooden handle to comb the hair straight. Hot iron curlers were then applied to wave the hair, create a head of curls or add a few spit curls to frame the face. The Eton crop and shingle was especially popular with women who had naturally short hair.

What was considered beautiful in the 1920s?
Beauty in the 1920s featured an androgynous look for women. They wore bras that flattened their chest and wore clothing that gave them a curve-less look. Women even shortened their hair, leaving behind the long-held belief that long hair signified beauty and desirability.
Did they wear nail polish in the 1920's?
Colored nail polishes were invented in the 1920s and the first nail polish was launched by Revlon. Colours used were more often roses, reds and oranges, but there has been some evidence of use of a peacock green colour. In this day and age, it would be best to have this done by a professional manicurist.
What makeup did they use in the 1920s?
During the 1920s, the messy elixir blushes of past years were replaced by creams, powders, liquids, and rouge papers. Powder blushes became more popular after the invention of spill-proof containers and the compact.
What color was popular in the 20s?
What were the most popular clothing colors of the 1920s? For women: peach, grey, blue, rose, yellow, sand and black. For men: navy, grey, green, brown.
What makeup products did they use in the 1920s?
Eyelash products were known in the 1920s as eyelash beautifier, eyelash darkener, masque, cosmetique, or something similar. These products darkened the lashes and added shine. Eyelash makeup came in liquid, paste and cake form. The solid cake blocks came with a small flat application brush.
