Alan Cathcart rides the ex-Jack Ehret Lightning, recently refurbished by marque expert Patrick Godet in Malaunay, France.
Jack Ehret racing the Black Lightning at Bathhurst in solo form in 1953.
More than six decades ago, the Vincent Black Shadow delivered the most performance from a street-legal vehicle that money could buy — on two wheels or four. Officially timed at 122mph, it out-sped the Jaguar XK120 two-seater, then the world's fastest production car, making the shadow the first true Superbike of the modern era.
The ultimate Vincent was the Series C Black Lightning, a production version of the bike Rollie Free rode to break the AMA's land speed record in 1948 on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Available only by special order, the standard Black Lightning was supplied in racing trim with a tachometer, Elektron magnesium alloy brake plates, racing tires on alloy rims, rearset foot controls, a solo seat and aluminum fenders. This reduced the Black Lightning's dry weight to just 360 pounds versus the Black Shadow's 458 pounds.
The Lightning's 998cc air-cooled, overhead valve 50-degree V-twin engine was given higher-performance racing components including Mark II Vincent cams with higher lift and more overlap, stronger, highly polished Vibrac connecting rods with a large-diameter caged roller-bearing big end, polished flywheels and Specialoid pistons delivering a 13:1 compression ratio for methanol fuel. The combustion chamber spheres were polished, as were the valve rockers and streamlined larger inlet ports, blended to special adapters and fed by twin 1-1/4-inch Amal 10TT9 carburetors.
The Ferodo single-plate clutch's cover featured center and rear cooling holes, while the 4-speed gearbox was beefed up to transmit the extra power, at least 70 horsepower at 5,600rpm (versus the Black Shadow's claimed 55) and a top speed of 150mph.

JOHNSON COUNTY, Kan. -- A Johnson County judged ruled Friday that a 15-year-old accused of killing his father in 2013 will remain in the juvenile justice system.
Prosecutors charged the then-14-year-old boy with first-degree murder in the death of his father, 46-year-old Darren E. Gay of Kansas City, Kan.
The boy is accused of taking a 40 caliber glock handgun and firing 16 shots at his father during a custody exchange in July 2013. According to testimony on Friday, nine of those shots hit and killed Gay.
The state of Kansas attempted to have the boy tried as an adult for first-degree murder, but evidence presented over two-and-a-half-days revealed the boy was the victim of physical and sexual abuse at the hands of his father. The boy's father was portrayed in court as combative and controlling, who reportedly argued with the boy's mother over his haircut and his clothes. The court learned the boy reportedly wrote about suicide in notes.
After hearing the evidence, including evidence of a long civil history of arguing, the judge ruled the boy should remain in the juvenile system where he can be monitored for another eight years and treated for the abuse he's suffered. The judge also ruled the boy will be tried as a juvenile.

Crude oil prices fall: Fuel cost likely to be reduced by Rs 5 in India
Tuesday 06 December, 2022 | 12:48 AM READ MALAYALAM VERSION
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Petrol and diesel prices in India may be reduced up to Rs 5 as the crude oil price in the international market has fallen following an ease in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. It is indicated that a decision will be made this week. Crude oil prices fell from $120 to $90 per barrel. It is also reported that the price of crude oil, which has remained the same for the past month, will decrease further.
Earlier, petrol price was reduced by Rs 8 and diesel by Rs 6 in India as the excise duty was decreased. 85% of the oil required by India is imported from abroad. Therefore, the price change in the global market will be reflected quickly in India.
India buys large quantities of oil from Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Russia. India is also purchasing more oil from Russia as they sell at reduced rates following US sanctions after its invasion of Ukraine. It is indicated that fuel prices will be reduced in the country taking into account all these circumstances.

Tallahassee Police Department now accepting applications for new citizens advisory committee
Karl Etters
The Tallahassee Police Department is now taking applications to join its citizen advisory committee.
The group — led by pastor Rudy Ferguson, who was announced as chairman Monday — is a top initiative of Police Chief Lawrence Revell.
Applications will be accepted through Feb. 10 at 5 p.m.
The committee is intended to serve as a bridge between the police department and all quadrants of the community and "will serve as an advocate on programs, ideas and methods to improve the relationship between TPD and the community," city officials said in a press release.
The group will be responsible for making recommendations to Revell on addressing issues and factoring in the inner workings of individual neighborhoods.
At Monday's announcement, Revell said he was looking for a diverse group of applicants but was unsure how many would be brought on to the committee. He also said a youth advisory committee would be created in the near future.
"We hope to have a completely diverse and well-rounded committee that represents our community," he said. "That's sounds easy to say but it's going to be a lot harder to do. We want to make sure we get people from all areas of our community."
Revell, his command staff and Ferguson, pastor at New Birth Tabernacle of Praise church on Harlem Street, will select the members of the committee.
Ferguson said he was excited to chair the committee and work toward bringing everyone into the effort against crime.
"As I agreed to chair this awesome committee, I believe that we must include our young people as we continue to look for solutions for their generation," he said. "It is vitally important that we continue to work together."
Others aren't so sure about the committee.
Leon County Commissioner Bill Proctor, who for years has pushed for a citizen-led police review board and has been critical of Revell's hiring, said the committee lacked the independence to make change.
"An advisory group under the auspices of the police chief is merely window dressing," he wrote in a statement. "It lacks substantive control, accountability over and respect from a police department.
"Tallahassee citizens need and deserve a citizens police review board that will exist in the midst of the mainstream processes of our police department. We need more than an honorary advisory group."
To apply to serve on TPD's Citizens Advisory Committee, visit Talgov.com/TPD and submit information along with a current resume. Paper applications will also be available at TPD's headquarters, 234 E. Seventh Avenue, and at the TPD community meeting this Thursday, Jan. 30, at the Sue McCollum Community Center, 501 Ingleside Ave.

Michael Williams has spent the past year travelling along the fascinating rail byways of Britain for this new collection of journeys. Here is the ´train to the end of the world´ running for more than four splendid hours through lake, loch and moorland from Inverness to Wick, the most northerly town in Britain. He discovers a perfect country branch line in London's commuterland, and travels on one of the slowest services in the land along the shores of the lovely Dovey estuary to the far west of Wales. He takes the stopping train across the Pennines on a line with so few services that its glorious scenery is a secret known only to the regulars. Here, too, is the Bittern Line in Norfolk and the Tarka Line in North Devon as well as the little branch line to the fishing port of Looe in Cornwall, rescued from closure in the 1960s and now celebrating its 150th anniversary taking families on holiday to the seaside. From the most luxurious and historic – aboard the Orient Express – to the most futuristic – on the driverless trains of London's Docklands Light Railway – here is a unique travel companion celebrating the treasures of our railway heritage from one of Britain's most knowledgeable railway writers. 1.

In this witty and entertaining collection of travel tales, an acclaimed journalist explores his obsession with trains - and what his rail journeys have taught him about culture and identity. ´´I´ve gone around the world in installments. Every trip has been a revelation. I´ve watched regions, nations, and continents change moods and I´ve met more people on trains than in 40 years of airplane flights. Every train trip has been a spectacle. Trains are stages, cafés, bazaars. The only talk show that will never go off the air....´´ Beppe Severgnini has spent his life traveling the world, and not just because he´s a journalist; he´s a passionate, unflagging train buff. Off the Rails recounts some of his favorite trips across Europe, Australia, Asia, and the United States, each journey bringing listeners not only to a different place but to a different time, from his honeymoon on the Trans-Siberian Express (in a four-person compartment!), to a winding journey from Russia to Turkey during the last summer of communism, to a recent coast-to-coast trip with his son from Washington, D.C., to Washington State. Off the Rails is the perfect getaway for anyone with a touch of wanderlust, who dreams of escape or just likes to laugh. Filled with memorable characters and perceptive observations, it demonstrates - hilariously - what unites us. With the world in chaos and life in perpetual fast-forward, it´s always the right time to hop on board with Beppe Severgnini and meet your charming, hapless, quarrelsome, romantic, shifty, quirky, endearing neighbors. 1.

In Night Trains, Andrew Martin attempts to relive the golden age of the great European sleeper trains by using their modern-day equivalents. This is no simple matter. The night trains have fallen on hard times, and the services are disappearing. Whether the backdrop is three a.m. at a Turkish customs post, the sun rising over the Riviera or the constant twilight of a Norwegian summer night, Martin rediscovers the pleasures of a continent connected by rail. By tracing the history of the sleeper trains, he reveals much of the recent history of Europe. Against this tumultuous backdrop, he experiences his own smaller dramas as he ponders the mystery of the compartment dog and becomes embroiled in his very own night train whodunit. 1.

In Ghost Train to the Eastern Star, Paul Theroux retraces the steps he took thirty years ago in his classic The Great Railway Bazaar. From the Eurostar in London, he once again sets out on a journey to the East, travelling overland through Eastern Europe, India and Asia. Infused with the changes that have shaped the exterior landscape and enriched with developments to his own perceptions and psychology, Ghost Train to the Eastern Star is an absorbing and beautifully written follow-up to The Great Railway Bazaar. 1.

The TARDIS lands on a planet The Doctor doesn't recognise – but its inhabitants seem to know him. They think he's the Evil One and aren't pleased to see him. Two warring tribes occupy the planet: the savage Sevateem and the reclusive Tesh, separated from each other by a deadly energy field. When the Sevateem believe their God, Xoanon, to be a captive of the Tesh, they decide to break through the barrier and rescue him. The Tesh, however, have other ideas.
Befriended by Leela, a Sevateem girl who dares to question the mighty Xoanon, The Doctor sets out to discover exactly what's happening on this planet. Has he been here before? Is he responsible for the tribal wars? And can it possibly be that Xoanon, the mad God, is really The Doctor?
The Doctor, alone in the TARDIS, arrives on a mysterious jungle planet which he cannot resist exploring. He soon encounters Leela, a savage from the local tribe. She denounces him as the Evil One of her people's fables. She has been exiled from her tribe, the Sevateem, for profaning their god, the mysterious Xoanon, who speaks to them through the tribe's shaman, Neeva. Her father, tribal elder Sole, tried to protect her but died taking the Test of the Horda on her behalf. Now Leela is an outcast beyond the invisible barrier around her tribal home.
Neeva, meanwhile, has sent two men to murder her, an action witnessed by Leela's friend Tomas. He kills one of them as Leela dispatches the other. In the jungle beyond, she encounters The Doctor, who soon wins her over by defending her from invisible monsters that rampage about, attracted by vibration of any kind. Exploring further, The Doctor finds a sophisticated sonic disruptor. It creates the force field that keeps creatures from attacking the village itself. Leela regales him with more folklore; the god Xoanon is kept prisoner by the Evil One and his followers, the Tesh, beyond a strange black wall.
The Sevateem have decided to launch an attack on the Tesh to free their god. They are led by the combative Andor, who is determined to free his god. He also believes an attack will unite the people. Andor suspects Neeva of being a false prophet, and Tomas tells him of Neeva's attempted murder of Leela. Still, Andor believes the attack will succeed and is prepared to go ahead.
Two warriors are scouring the jungle when they find The Doctor. They also call him the Evil One and make a hand gesture which The Doctor interprets as the sequence for checking the seals on a Starfall Seven spacesuit. The warriors seize The Doctor but not Leela. They take him to the village council, where his face is shown to the tribe. Andor is convinced the prisoner is the Evil One and has him confined. However, Leela frees him using poisonous Janis thorns, which paralyse, then kill the victim. The Doctor is horrified by this. He instructs her, "No more Janis thorns, ever."
The pair flees the village and heads to a clearing beyond, where The Doctor is greeted by a stunning sight. Carved into a mountain nearby is a relief of his own face.
The Doctor cannot recall clearly why his face is here. He persuades Leela to return to the village to learn more, despite their death sentences. They return to Neeva's holy tent. The Doctor inspects the ancient tribal relics, recognising them as artefacts from an Earth survey expedition. He also finds a transceiver used by Neeva to hear the commands of Xoanon. It speaks with The Doctor's own voice, exhilarated at hearing The Doctor, saying, "At last we are here. At last I shall be free of us."
They head off to inspect the dark wall that stands at the entrance to the realm of the Evil One. The Doctor deduces it is a primitive time barrier. He is certain the Sevateem warriors will be massacred if they attack the fortress of their enemy, the Tesh. From afar they see the massacre unfold, as laser beams cut down warriors armed only with crossbows and other basic weapons. Half the tribe is lost in the assault.
One of the elders, the devious Calib, is first back at the camp, where he finds The Doctor and Leela. He is evidently intent on using The Doctor to break Neeva's hold on the tribe by exposing the faith in Xoanon as mythology. Leela's friend Tomas also arrives. He is apalled to find Calib has stabbed Leela with a Janis thorn to prevent her exposing his schemes. The Doctor gets Tomas to help him move Leela to Neeva's tent, where he uses a bio-analyser to synthesise an antidote to the poison.
When the surviving warriors return, The Doctor, Leela and Tomas are invited to address the tribal elders in defence of their lives. Leela makes matters worse when she accuses Xoanon of causing the trap at the wall. Calib intervenes to suggest The Doctor is not the Evil One. He suggests this be proven by getting him to take the fabled Test of the Horda.
In the centre of the village is a pit full of Horda, two-foot-long worms which hunt in packs and react to the movements of their prey. They are reputed to strip flesh from a man in an instant. The Sevateem evolved the Test of the Horda as a trial of justice and bravery. It involves the defendant standing on a board over the pit, who then must shoot a rope attached to a boulder that is pulling the board out from under him.
The Doctor is given a crossbow. He must fire it at a precise moment to sever the rope without making him fall into the pit — the fate of the guilty. The Doctor succeeds, is proven a non-malign influence and freed. He proceeds to examine some relics of the tribe and repair a disruptor gun. He also tells some of the tribe that the Sevateem are the descendants of a "survey team" from a Starfall Seven Earth colony ship. The Doctor and Leela go to examine the face in the mountain; they climb into it by scaling The Doctor's teeth.
Neeva returns to his tent, where the voice of Xoanon tells him the tribe will be destroyed. The mysterious being shuts down the sonic disruptor, leaving the village open to attack from the invisible beings. These descend on the village, killing indiscriminately and crushing Andor to death. Tomas uses the disruptor gun built by The Doctor to expose the true appearance of the invisible beings: ferocious, angry versions of the Doctor's face.
Leela and the Doctor notice a figure in a spacesuit in the "mouth" entrance and follow it through a projection of a wall. Beyond this barrier is a rocket, which The Doctor recalls as belonging to the Mordee Expedition; his memory of events earlier in his incarnation are returning. Xoanon has detected The Doctor. When he reaches the ship, the god-creature is ecstatic that "we are here" and also maniacally pledging that "we must destroy us".
The Doctor and Leela meet three of the Tesh who serve and worship Xoanon. They are human too, but technologically advanced and possessing telepathic abilities. The Doctor deduces both Sevateem and Tesh are descendants of the same crew from the Mordee Expedition, with the Tesh (or technicians) involved in the same deadly eugenics exercise as the Sevateem.
The invisible creatures which attacked the Sevateem are also part of the same deranged scheme. Xoanon is a highly sophisticated computer, designed to think independently. The Doctor repaired Xoanon but forgot to wipe his personality print from the data core, leaving the computer with a split personality.
The Doctor and Leela are soon imprisoned, then escape and find the device used to communicate with Neeva. The Doctor, speaking as Xoanon, instructs Neeva to tell Calib, who is now tribal leader, to lead the Sevateem survivors through the mouth of the carved face in the mountain. Calib accepts this instruction and leads them into the safety of the mouth, where the invisible beings cannot threaten the tribe.
With Leela keeping guard and holding the Tesh at bay with a disruptor gun, The Doctor ventures into the computer room of the ship to confront Xoanon. He blames himself for creating the computer's maddened split personality. He now attempts to persuade it to shut down. Xoanon refuses and channels a vicious mental attack at The Doctor. As The Doctor writhes on the floor, Xoanon shouts in a child's voice: "Who am I?"
Leela rescues The Doctor from the mental assault. As he recovers, he warns her of Xoanon's power. Moments later they realise the computer has electrified the walls to kill them. The Tesh become more purposeful in tracking them down in the spaceship.
The Tesh also come under attack by Calib, Tomas and the survivors of the Sevateem, who reach the spaceship too. This diverts the Tesh while The Doctor and Leela return to the computer room. Xoanon briefly takes control of Leela's mind, as he does of most of the Sevateem.
The Tesh and Sevateem soon converge on the computer room too and interrupt The Doctor as he tries to repair Xoanon. The computer has triggered the countdown to an atomic explosion. Elsewhere in the ship Neeva is alone and crazed, his faith in Xoanon shattered. The shaman uses the disruptor gun against one of the images of Xoanon/The Doctor projected through a wall. The ensuing blast kills Neeva but also interrupts Xoanon's control of its subjects, allowing The Doctor to resume and complete his repairs. Xoanon's circuits explode, knocking The Doctor out.
Two days later The Doctor wakes up to find himself aboard the spaceship in Leela's care. She explains Xoanon has been quiet, and he interprets this as success for his extraction experiment. They visit the computer room and find Xoanon's identity and sanity restored. The computer confirms it was running a eugenics experiment and thanks The Doctor for his repair work. The Doctor contacts the survivors of the Tesh and Sevateem to tell them Xoanon is cured and able to support their new society.
Unwilling to help them sort out the political question of which group should control the planet, The Doctor heads off to the TARDIS, followed by Leela. She insists on joining him on his travels. When The Doctor refuses, Leela runs past him and into the TARDIS. The Doctor follows Leela inside, telling her to come out. He is heard saying "Don't touch that…!", but it's too late. Leela has started the dematerialisation process, and the TARDIS departs from the planet.
This story had the working titles, The Tower of Imelo and The Day God Went Mad.
The Face of Evil introduces Louise Jameson as Leela, who was inspired by Emma Peel of "The Avengers" and Palestinian terrorist Leila Khalid as well as Eliza Doolittle.
The story was written with two endings penned, one with Leela going off with The Doctor and one where she didn't.
The TARDIS displays nexial discontinuity. The Doctor suggests that it may be a fault in the TARDIS tracers.
The story does not explicitly explain when the Fourth Doctor repaired the Starfall Seven's computer. The novelisation suggests that the earlier visit to the planet of the Sevateem took place during the story 'Robot', in the moment when Sarah sees him begin to leave in the TARDIS (but was apparently a much longer time for The Doctor himself).
Pamela Salem and Rob Edwards provide two of the voices of Xoanon. Both actors were at the time rehearsing for the following story, The Robots of Death.
Anthony Frieze, credited as one of the voices of Xoanon, was the young winner of a competition to visit The Doctor Who studios. Philip Hinchcliffe arranged for a recording of his voice to be made shouting 'Who am I?' for the climax to Part Three.
Leela is the only female member of the Sevateem. (Another female warrior is seen as the tribe prepares to attack the Wall.)
Leela's costume was leotard-based, and designed by John Bloomfield.

Successful living is not rocket science. You simply have to discipline yourself to do what must be done everyday. You must practice doing the right things and stop doing the wrong things. Everyone needs a place where they can begin looking towards the future and focusing on personal growth that helps them improve their financial lives. Lives are changed significantly when people make a clear and specific decision that they will not live a lifetime of struggle and poverty. Winners choose to grow and achieve the economic success they desire no matter what. Winners practice the laws and principles of personal and financial success to create the success they desire. Some make this decision at 15, and some at 50. Most people never make this life-changing decision. Joining a group of people who can help keep you accountable can make a world of difference. Its so easy to be detracted by stuff that only works to limit what we can do and achieve. Success requires passion and action that won't quit.
What about you? What do you want your future to look like and why? Do you want the power to grow and prosper?

Our greatest economic limitation today is our own thinking, our conditioned mindset. We are not powerless to improve our thinking and economic condition.
Today, we must all consider new and better ways of thinking and creating income.

Economic success beyond the limits of our jobs is possible if we move forward, work together and keep going.
If a $25 monthly investment in personal growth and getting others involved can set us free to prosper, what are we waiting for?
Working together, we can all achieve more!

What Does It Mean To Be A Woman Of Colour?
By: Bilqees Mohamed
As social media has embraced "woke" culture, the term women of colour is not only used loosely, but often used to unify women who are excluded from White, mainstream culture and feminism.
When we associate race with feminism, we are conflating the way racism and sexism has merged our identities as cis women, trans and femme women with our racial identities. This isn't new - white women were the pioneers of this when they centered women's movements around their experiences as white, middle-class, cis-women.
It may seem that distinctively identifying as a woman of colour is an act of resistance to White feminism. But has the term made us eager in creating a race-inclusive feminist movement whilst complacent in addressing how different communities grapple with racism?
I know several intersectional feminists who have abhorred the term and have seen it as a means to erase the anti-blackness that runs deep in several communities. To them, anti-blackness is swept under the rug as we all wave the flag of inclusion under the term "women of colour."
As a Black, Muslim, cis-gendered woman, I get it.
Identity politics is something I have never been able to avoid. When discussions of race come up in conversations, it's a challenge to avoid pandering to the fears of people who believe we live in a post-racial world. In these moment's, identifying more broadly as a "woman of colour" strikes the perfect balance between acknowledging whiteness and not exposing your fellow co-worker who definitely can't be racist because she has Black friends.
I admit, it's easier. But it has never felt right. It almost feels as if I am reducing the lose the rich histories, complexities and the opportunity to know what if feels like to advocate for my identity that often speaks before I do.
When we use the neutralize term women of colour is used, we place ourselves in a paradox of strategically and stealthy affirming our identities, whilst still living in a world where barriers, walls (both metaphorically and literally) are still reminding us our difference at every turn.
So what would happen if we named our racial realities as women? Would our bosses who have sought our racial perspectives no longer approach us? Will we become walking triggers of White guilt? Or deemed as social justice warriors that always bring up race at the dinner table?
But what I know is that language matters. Language captures histories, experiences and identities. Language transcends generations.
Whether we choose to identify as a woman of colour or a black, south Asian, East Asian, Indigenous woman, there is always power in the way we speak of ourselves.

MPA calls for clarity on infrastructure investment
Modest improvements in construction demand for mineral products expected to be short-lived without infrastructure
FOLLOWING a broad-based weakening in the first half of 2019, construction market demand for mineral products, including aggregates, asphalt, ready-mixed concrete (RMC) and mortar, improved in the third quarter (Q3) of 2019 compared with the previous quarter.
According to the latest seasonally adjusted Mineral Products Association (MPA) sales volumes in GB, growth in mortar sales was the strongest, up 5.2% compared with Q2 2019, followed by asphalt (4.1%), aggregates (2.7%) and RMC (1.4%),
However, whilst welcome, the MPA says this improvement has not been sufficient to lift the market performance for 2019 so far. In the first nine months of the year, markets for asphalt and mortar remained broadly flat compared with the same period in 2018, while sales of aggregates and RMC declined.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates that construction output increased by 2.6% over Jan–Aug 2019 compared with the same period in 2018, with growth driven by house building and new infrastructure work, while work on commercial sites, including retail and office buildings, continued to decline.
With aggregates and RMC being ubiquitous to any type of construction work and usually being used early in a construction project timeline, the weakness of these markets suggests that recorded construction output reflects continuing activity on existing sites rather than new sites.
Following two years of subdued mineral products market conditions in 2017 and 2018, the MPA says flat to negative sales volumes this year are precursors to a further slowdown in construction in the near term.
Despite initial expectations of work planned to speed up on Highway England's roads programme this year, asphalt sales volumes saw a marginal decline by 0.6% over Jan–Sept 2019 compared with the same period in 2018, with falls particularly pronounced in the South West and East Midlands.
MPA members continue to report significant delays to the Road Investment Strategy (RIS1) delivery, and Highways England has now indicated that 37 of the 112 projects set to be carried out over 2015–20 have now either been pushed to the next Road Investment Strategy (RIS2), covering 2020–25, or put on hold altogether for review.
Of the 75 remaining projects to be delivered by the end of the 2019/20 financial year, 30 are planned to start during the current financial year, mostly in Q1 2020. However, given past delivery records, the industry is said to have little confidence in Highways England's capability to ensure these projects are delivered as planned.
Simultaneously, the RMC market remains decisively weak and is heading for a third consecutive year of decline in 2019. Sharp declines in sales volumes continue to be recorded in both London and the South East, which together account for a third of the total (GB) market.
The general decline is closely tied to falling investment in commercial buildings, which have been impacted by the ever-increasing domestic uncertainty surrounding Brexit and the economy. It also reflects slower housebuilding activity in the capital.
Mortar sales are a straightforward indicator of house-building activity, especially in regions outside London where constructions are more likely focused on 'bricks and mortar' rather than high-rise towers.
After a year of consecutive quarterly falls, mortar sales volumes resumed growth in Q3 2019, up 5.2% compared with the previous quarter, but, yet again, the annual trend for 2019 remains weak: sales volumes increased by just 0.4% in the first nine months of 2019 compared with the same period in 2018, a significant slowdown from two years of double-digit growth in 2017 and 2018.
Current construction forecasts, such as from the Construction Product Association, suggest house building will pick up again from 2020, given continued support from the Government's Help to Buy scheme, while weakness in the commercial sector is expected to remain until at least 2021, as investment in the sector is being hindered by the ongoing Brexit negotiation process.
More realistically, any growth prospects for construction and its supply chain is more dependent on what happens in infrastructure. If delivered as planned, major infrastructure projects in roads, rail and energy should boost activity on the ground over the next few years, but concerns are rising over the delivery of these projects, notably in the rail and road subsectors.
The government-commissioned review into HS2 is likely to add further delays to a project already beset by them, whilst work on RIS1 looks unlikely to be delivered as planned, even after the revisions made by Highways England.
Aurelie Delannoy, director of economic affairs at the MPA, explained: 'Government cannot overestimate the significance of the current infrastructure pipeline of work for both construction and its supply chain, and for the UK economy as a whole.
'At a time of great reckoning for the UK's political and economic future, repairing local roads, building houses, schools, hospitals, and upgrading major rail and energy networks provide the means to lift both short-term and longer-term productivity and growth prospects. It is a great opportunity to put our own house in order.
'Government often asks how they can help businesses; the answer is simple: provide clarity over future policy and investment and stick to it. Regardless of any Brexit outcome, it is in the power of the UK Government to ensure planned infrastructure investments are being delivered in a robust and timely manner.'

Fortification Report: Glorenza
Posted by Sean Manning in Medieval, Modern
fortification report, Glorenza, Glurns, modern
May mowing between the Etsch and the walls of Glurns in the Vinschgau, South Tyrol, Italy
Most travellers from Lombardy to the Germanies take the road up the Adige from Catullus' Verona past Trent of the council. When they come to Bolzen beneath its castles the road divides to the right and left and they can follow the Eisack towards the Brennerpass or the Adige (now called the Etsch as one moves into German-speaking areas) towards the Reschenpass. In rich and well-organized ages, most travellers prefer the first route, because the Brenner has certain advantages if one can build bridges and cut roads and drive tunnels through the most difficult sections. If they take the second they will find themselves in a district called the Vinschgau where the fields yield rye more readily than wheat and the orchards apples and pears more readily than grapes. In that district on the bank of the Adige is the remarkable town of Glorenza.
A Deed Never Yet Done
Posted by Sean Manning in Ancient, Medieval

A deed done over and over again: two dynasties after Amenhotep, Ramses III smites the Libyans (from The Epigraphic Survey (eds.), Medinet Habu, Volume 1: Earlier Historical Records of Ramses III. Oriental Institute Publications 8. Plate 18 c/o the generous Oriental Institute https://oi.uchicago.edu/research/publications/oriental-institute-publications-oip )
While I do not think that many Bronze Age or Classical bows were as powerful as the longbows from the Mary Rose or the hornbows from the Tokapi Palace, I can think of one or two exceptions. Today I would like to give one which I recently stumbled over while reviewing an article by Pierre Briant. As often happens, reading this passage again revealed something which I had not remembered.
The Great Sphinx Stele tells the following story of Pharaoh Amenhotep II of the New Kingdom:
He also came to do the following … Entering his northern garden, he found erected for him four targets of Asiatic copper, of one palm in thickness, with a distance of twenty cubits between one post and the next. Then his Majesty appeared on the chariot like Mont in his might. He drew his bow while holding four arrows together in his fist. Then he rode northward shooting at them, like Mont in his panoply, each arrow coming out of the back of its target while he attacked the next post. It was a deed never yet done, never yet heard reported: shooting an arrow at a target of copper, so that it came out of it and dropped to the ground.
Andrea M. Gnirs, "Ancient Egypt," in Kurt Raaflaub and Nathan Rosenstein eds., War and Society in the Ancient and Medieval Worlds (Cambridge MA, 1999) p. 84 citing the Great Sphinx Stele of Amenhotep II in Miriam Lichtheim, Ancient Egyptian Literature: A Book of Readings. Volume 2. Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1976) pp. 41, 42.
History as Rhetoric
Posted by Sean Manning in Ancient, Modern
ancient, historiography, Italian renaissance, modern, Nicolo Machiavalli
The protective statue of Virgil, Mantua's patron, now looks down from the inside wall of a museum instead of the outside wall of the Palazzo della Ragione (Palazzo Te, collezione civiche inv. n. 11605, photo by author)
There is a school of thought which says that ancient Greek and Roman historians were more interested in telling pretty stories than about critically comparing different reports to understand what had happened in the past. Generally advocates of this view appeal to later and Roman writers like Livy and Tacitus, and to proscriptions by rhetoricians about how history ought to be written; opponents appeal to earlier and Greeker writers like Thucydides, and note that those proscriptions were seldom written by working historians, and often fail to say what the relativists wish they said. And like unto the battle-lines in Homer, back and forth the combat goes, enlivening the discussion periods at conferences, fattening journals, and keeping librarians busy delivering the latest salvo. Since ancient historians only left incidental traces of their working methods in their writings, and not many non-historians wrote anything about the subject at all, the debate will keep scholars happily bickering for decades to come. I tend to lean against this way of thinking, but because the debate focuses on later periods than I do, I would recommend that interested readers check Luke Pitcher's book below for an introduction.
One of my favorite tools in such situations is to look for parallels. Medievalists tell me that very little is known about how chroniclers worked in the middle ages, and little research has been done (Anne Curry's book on Agincourt has some helpful footnotes here). More seems to be known about writers from the sixteenth century as in the following quote from Robert Black, Machiavelli (Routledge: London and New York, 2013) pp. 248-252. I was struck by his remarks on how Italian humanists in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries wrote history, and since they are evidence against my own views they deserve to be quoted:
Machiavelli intended his work to conform to the norms of humanist history, aiming to imitate Bruni's and Poggio's Florentine histories. The text is laden with features characteristic of ancient Roman historiography such as lengthy speeches … It is clear that Machiavelli was attempting to recreate the periodic style of the classical Roman historians, and particularly Sallust and Livy, in the modern vernacular … In line with the conventions of humanist historiography, Machiavelli showed little concern for factual accuracy. The work's many methodological shortcomings, errors and even inventions have been frequently highlighted, beginning in the sixteenth century with the definitive historian of grand-ducal Florence, Scipio Ammirato (1531-1601) …

The Amathus bowl, British Museum catalogue number ANE 123053 © Trustees of the British Museum
In 1875, an old tomb on Cyprus was cleaned out in search of antiquities. One chamber contained a copper cauldron, and in that cauldron were shield fragments, an iron dagger, and about half of a corroded metal bowl 16 cm in diameter. The looters had cast it aside as they broke the sarcophagi open and ransacked the tomb for salable goods. This was a mistake, because the bowl was of wrought and engraved silver and contained a beautiful series of reliefs in concentric bands. Shortly after it was discovered, the bowl was sketched by a careful artist and published in a volume on the archaeology of Cyprus so that it would be available to scientists. Thanks to the generosity of the Gallica project in France, this volume is now available to the world.

Posted on July 6, 2015 by I Never sign out at work.
Finally arrived in Zurich after an early start from Glasgow and several trains, planes and buses I met up with Robbie in his van to head up to the Swiss Ratikon. We stopped on the way to grab some supplies (Cherry harribo…obviously) for the next few days and headed up the sketchiest road I've ever been on up into the valley.
We set up camp by a lovely waterfall, it's the perfect shower when your roasting from waking up in the tent, it's been up to 38C here, mad!! There's a local hut nearby where some other climbers are staying and on our first night we also met some awesome Germans that are here hiking who offered us some German beer and sausages, just to be the perfect stereotype. It's also a reminder of how cool it is to be travelling and meeting so many new people that are all so friendly.
We started climbing yesterday on Robbie's project route 'silbergeir'. It's this awesome multi-pitch route that's goes straight up the headwall of the massive cliff. The wall is all limestone that varies in every direction with jagged blue streaks cascading down through the yellow rock faces. The routes max difficulty is 8b+ which of course, Is down to Robbie to climb but I'm really enjoying climbing the grade 7 pitches and starting to work on the 8a+ pitch. It's all very technical moves on small holds where one little lack of balance and your off…there's been a lot of that.
Robbie made some huge links on the hardest pitches yesterday it was awesome to watch him crushing out some crazy hard moves and I don't doubt that after another session working the route today it could be time to get a well earn rest day before going for the red-point ascent later in the week.
Just being up there on that wall is amazing though, belaying from your little wooden swing, suspended hundreds of meters above the valleys grass fields with the high snow capped mountains as your backdrop and the cowbells from below as your soundtrack.
I'll try to keep writing to update our progress but the signal strength out here is marginal at the bet of times!

Hallowe'en Rift, Mendip Hills
Excursions [and other notes] involved in the exploration of Hallowe'en Rift; a cave, so far, formed within Triassic Dolomitic Conglomerate.
The exploration of Hallowe'en Rift was started in 1982 by Trevor Hughes with other members of the Bristol Exploration Club, their interest waned by the late 80s. During the early 1990's Vince Simmonds and other, mostly, local diggers were active at a number of locations within the cave, including the start of the dig to the 'east' side of the entrance with Graham Johnson in December 1991. This led to the discovery of An Unexpected Development in August 2018. The current phase of exploration was commenced in 2009, with the majority of the early work being carried out by Vince Simmonds and Alex Gee, now the regular team also includes Rob 'Tav' Taviner, Graham 'Jake' Johnson, Nick Hawkes, Jonathon Riley, and Paul 'Brockers' Brock. There has been occasional help from others including Mike Moxon, Roz Simmonds, Duncan Price, Phil Coles, Caroline Allen, Mike Willett, Matt Tuck, John 'Tangent' Williams, Pete Bolt, Bob Smith, Callum and Hazel Simmonds, and several appearances by that well-known antipodean, Ray Deasey.
There have been visits from some notable experts in their various fields including: Charlie Self, Andy Farrant, Christopher Smith, Derek Ford, Joyce Lundberg, Don MacFarlane, Marc Luetscher and Gina Moseley. All have added to a better understanding of Hallowe'en Rift.
