Vouchers can be purchased for the full value of a motorcycle course or part of the course. The value of your voucher can be used against all courses. As we supply everything from personal protection to motorcycles, trainees do not need to have equipment, or a motorcycle of their own. Most of the courses are designed for riders with NO previous experience.
Our compound based courses are run in Dublin. Some courses (IBT) require you to have a learner permit before the course can be undertaken as you will complete a road going section.
It can be difficult to figure out which is the best course to do as some courses (initial basic training IBT) are mandatory while others are optional. If you're unsure drop us an email or give us a call and we'll be happy to get you pointed in the right direction.
Once you make a payment on one of the links below we will email you a voucher to the same value which can be printed off at your leisure. If you let us know the recipient name we'll include this on the voucher.
If the payment is for a deposit on a course or lesson you will receive an email confirmation of payment received – usually within 1 working day.

One more problem had to be solved; it had to be a mountain which would not collapse. They knew that they had to embark on a venture into the unknown but they set out on it full of confidence in a magnificent invention. It was Imhotep's stabilising buttress wall. As the future was to show, this invention carried the Egyptian architects through a period of unparalleled achievement.
The next problem was the labour force. Imhotep must have felt pretty confident in the ability of his administration to provide him with a labour force twenty or thirty times larger than that used for the stone mastaba. It was most likely at this juncture that mainly seasonal labour began to be employed, leading to the beginning of a new economic pattern.
When the pyramid of four steps had been completed, Imhotep and his colleagues knew that their stability calculations had been correct. They also knew by this time that the new employment pattern was not only feasible but that it was eminently successful. Unless they had been satisfied on this last issue, they would hardly have embarked on the next two enlargements of the pyramid, the first by widening it, and the second by heightening it to six steps. The quantity of stone required in these successive operations amounted to no less than 650,000 tons, more than three times that already invested in the four-stepped pyramid. This fantastic escalation of effort, all in one and the same project, leaves little doubt that seasonal mass employment was proving its worth, not only at the building site but also probably in the government of the emerging state structure. With this final enlargement, pyramid building had passed from the stage of a daring experiment to the basic work-pattem of the Egyptian society.
It is a pity that the technological evidence of the rest of the Third Dynasty does not allow us to follow the decisions of builders and administrators with the same clarity as in the construction of Zoser's pyramid. The two unfinished pyramids of Sekhemket and Khaba show that pyramid building continued during their short reigns. We do not, of course, know whether Zoser's pyramid was finished in his own lifetime. If not, it may have been decided that the available labour force had primarily to be employed in its completion, leaving a rather smaller number of workmen for the two new monuments. However, the reason why they were never finished has probably nothing to do with the labour supply. Something had happened to the direction of the administration in using the royal power.

Test your spirit level for accuracy from time to time. Place it on a near level surface and see where the bubble is. Then spin the level around through 180º, and if the bubble isn't in the same position, it's inaccurate. If you use it, your projects won't be level either. Replace it with a good quality spirit level and look after this one!
Squares of all types can suffer a similar fate. Use your square to mark a square line on a board with a straight edge. Flip the square over, and if the new line doesn't line up…chuck it.
Cartridge guns can be used as makeshift clamps (or cramps – depending on the school you went to) for gluing or as a spare pair of hands. The "bar-type" guns are best.

Early this summer we were blessed enough to enjoy a week at a lake house in Benton Harbor. The place was beautiful, but the thing that really set the week over the top was the company. The only way it could of been better is if Jeremy's youngest sister and her husband would have also been able to join us. Lucky, for us we got to visit them in Colorado a few weeks later - don't worry, there will be a blog post ;).
I already have three sisters who I consider friends, so I don't understand how I got so lucky to also have three sister-in-laws who I think the world of. All of them are smart, considerate, and generous. We planned this get together to celebrate Heidi being done with her surgical vet residence. Vet school plus surgical residence means sacrifice, and sadly one result was that we didn't get to see her nearly as much as we'd like.
Big Buddy turned nine this month! Every time another birthday of his rolls around my emotions are so mixed . My heart could burst with pride when I think about the young man he is growing in to; but I also wish motherhood came with a pause button.
This year to celebrate he wanted to have some of his favorite friends over at a local forest preservse so they could shoot each other with Nerf guns.
A couple Sundays back we drove up to Lance Park Beach after church. I was really excited to check out this beach because the reviews looked pretty positive. With a large family, full of younger kids, I keep my eye out for beaches with close parking, nearby restrooms, and a bit of shade. This beach had all of those things. It's also small and a bit closed off so you don't have to worry about loosing kids. It was so close to perfect that I'm sad to admit it had one huge negative - there was a crazy amount of dog poop in the sand. Therefore, I can't recommend you go check it out. We might venture back some day; there is a part of me that hopes that maybe the messiness was just a one day fluke.
We still made the best of our afternoon, just making sure to steer the kids toward cleaner areas. All my kiddos love water and with their eager earnest hearts they do a good job of overlooking most negatives.
About a month ago we finally decided to check out our local drive-in. We saw The Secret Life of Pets and BFG.The older kids were on cloud nine! This was their first drive-in and they were so impressed with the large screen, the little radios, sitting on top of the car, and getting to stay out past midnight? Baby Z was pretty happy too...it doesn't matter where you are as long as mommy is holding and nursing you.
Early in the summer we had a family day and went to the Crabtree Nature Center in Barrington.
If you have elementary school kids in your family this is a perfect forest preserve to visit. Less then half-a-mile up the trail is a nature play area with a plethora of actives to engage young learners.

Mariner East 2 pipeline construction block
From Middletown Coalition for Community Safety
Media contact: (484) 441-3308 or middletowncoalition@gmail.com
MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania, July 10, 2018— Six mothers and grandmothers blocked construction of Sunoco's Mariner East 2 pipeline early Tuesday morning, in Middletown Township, Delaware County. Accompanied by numerous supporters, the area-residents staged a sit-in protest of the pipeline construction early Tuesday morning, resulting in the arrest of two local residents.
The "Mama Bear Brigade", including Middletown Township residents and Glenwood Elementary School parents, are women concerned about their children and grandchildren in the blast zone of the pipeline. They blocked construction of the pipeline after entering onto a drill site and occupying the area to prevent operation of the drill rig.
The drill site is just a short distance from Glenwood Elementary School and connects directly to the section of pipe that was struck during by Aqua contractors in June after Sunoco mis-reported the depth of their own newly-installed pipe. Glenwood Elementary has been the epicenter of the hotly contested pipeline debate in Delaware County due to its proximity to Mariner East 2 and 2X and an above-ground valve station. The June pipeline strike only amplified concerns expressed by the community.
The residents, who have been engaged in advocacy work for 2 years, and who have met with all their local and state officials, including with Governor Wolf, said they had been left with no other choice to and stop construction of this reckless and dangerous pipeline, after appeals to government officials, hearings before regulatory agencies, and legal action in the courts all slowed, but failed to halt, Sunoco's efforts to build a pipeline to carry highly-explosive materials through densely-populated suburbs.
The women were later released by police after receiving citations for trespassing.

Mobilization For Heritage: Iraq, Syria and other conflict-stricken countries
infocusconferenceiraq.jpg
On 3 December 2014, UNESCO hosted an International Conference on "Heritage and Cultural Diversity at Risk in Iraq and Syria" at its Paris Headquarters, as a means to raise awareness on the scale of devastation of cultural heritage in the region today. The purpose of the Conference was also to highlight that the destruction of cultural heritage and the persecution of minorities are not merely a cultural emergency, but a political and security imperative for which adequate responses at the political and humanitarian levels are needed.
Against the background of increasingly violent sectarian conflict and the intentional destruction of places of cultural significance in Iraq and Syria, a process described by UNESCO's Director-General Irina Bokova as cultural cleansing, the meeting sought to unite stakeholders in order to find innovative ways to more effectively protect cultural heritage under attack and to better integrate the cultural dimension into the political response to crises, as well as into security, peacebuilding, humanitarian aid and development strategies.
The term cultural cleansing, reference refers to an intentional strategy that seeks to destroy cultural diversity through the deliberate targeting of individuals identified on the basis of their cultural, ethnic or religious background, combined with deliberate attacks on their places of worship, memory and learning. The strategy of cultural cleansing that can be witnessed in Iraq and Syria is reflected in attacks against cultural heritage, that is both against physical, tangible and built expressions of culture such as monuments and buildings, as well as against minorities and intangible expressions of culture such as customs, traditions and beliefs.
All speakers highlighted the many ways in which culture or cultural heritage are at the frontline of conflict today, and therefore why it is a necessity to take them into account in the design and implementation of any effective and sustainable response. In particular, the following links between culture and conflict where pointed out at the conference:
The deliberate targeting of cultural heritage in an attempt to destroy the legitimacy of the other to exist as such, exemplifying the most violent forms of fanatic violence today;
The most likely link between the illicit trafficking of cultural objects and the financing of terrorism and sectarian violence;
The deliberate destruction of schools, cultural places, and institutions representing free speech and freedom of opinion as well as the deliberate targeting of journalists and professionals dedicated to reinforcing these values, which bears witness to a coherent strategy to destroy the foundations of human society.
The Conference also highlighted the evolving nature of conflicts in the 21st century, which are often taking place among many non-international actors and within urban areas and target civilian populations. Many cultural landmarks have thus been damaged or destroyed as collateral damage of the war, while unrest and the collapse of governance have fuelled the looting of museums and archaeological sites.
In response to these issues, five main concrete policy proposals were made by the participants to the conference:
An international ban on trade in cultural objects from Syria at the United Nations (UN) Security Council (SC) level, echoing a similar measure taken for Iraq through UN SC Resolution 1483 (2003).
The creation of "protected cultural zones" around major heritage sites as a way to reduce violence through negotiated 'freezes' of the hostilities, starting from places of shared cultural value, with the city of Aleppo as a pilot.
Stronger investment in access to quality education as the key to preventing further radicalization as well as to promoting respect for cultural diversity, pluralism and dialogue among different communities.
Wider ratification and stronger implementation of the 1954 Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict and its additional protocols, as well as putting an end to impunity for deliberate attacks against cultural heritage, which is recognized as a war crime under the Rome Statutes of the International Criminal Court.
An in-depth analysis of "cultural cleansing" as a process, including the relevance in its connection of the protection of human rights and the prevention of genocide.
UNESCO is following up on these issues, in collaboration with relevant agencies and partners. In this regard, the Director-General of UNESCO announced at the Conference the launching of a multidirectional outreach campaign for the protection of Syrian and Iraqi cultural heritage. This campaign uses different means of communication – from social media to the production of audio-visual materials – in order to broadly disseminate UNESCO's message. This campaign also taps into the network of high-visibility museums (e.g. the Louvre), auction houses, as well as national and international media through the production of joint materials and social media campaigns.
The conference was organized with the generous support of the State of Kuwait and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It brought together decision-makers, experts and representatives from both Iraq and Syria, as well as international curators, academics, decision- and policy-makers, representatives from international and non-governmental organizations, law-enforcement agencies and museum and auction house professionals at the highest level.
The following report gives an overview of each speaker's main ideas and policy suggestions at of the three sessions of the Conference (see Programme in Annex ): the high-level segment, the panel on "Cultural Cleansing – Cultural Diversity under Attack" and the panel on "Protecting Cultural Heritage in Iraq and Syria – A Security Imperative".
Finally, the report includes additional remarks from invitees who did not get an opportunity to intervene during the Conference, but who shared their ideas in writing (Section VII).
The conference report giving an overview of each speaker's main ideas and policy suggestions is available here.

House Passes $170 Billion in…
Jul12021
The U.S. House on July 1 passed its version of the surface transportation bill, the "INVEST in America Act" (H.R. 3684), on a 221-201 vote. The $715 billion transportation and water infrastructure bill included $117 billion for the Drinking Water SRF and lead service pipe replacement, and $51 billion for the Clean Water SRF. Both figures are significant increases from the last time resources were authorized for these funds. NUCA strongly supports these investments.
H.R. 3684 also included some labor policy proposals not supported by NUCA, such as mandated project labor agreements on certain projects. However, this bill is far from being finished, and NUCA and other business groups are lobbying Congress to remove this policy from the final legislation. "We urge Congress to avoid being sidetracked by partisan policy proposals that sound good in theory but in practice will have the economic recovery this bill aims to strengthen," wrote NUCA CEO Doug Carlson.
This surface transportation bill will serve as the opening ploy in negotiations with the Senate's own version of the bill. Nothing is yet written in stone that these funding levels will remain intact, nor will policy proposals. NUCA continues to lobby Congress to keep these water infrastructure resources at least at this level of funding, arguing that these amounts would enable good progress to be made in addressing the back catalog of needed public works projects across the U.S.

Trees make the world go round: They provide oxygen, shelter, food, fuel, and wood. They conserve energy and prevent water pollution. They mark the seasons and increase property values.
And, according to a new study from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, they play a big role in keeping towns and cities cool.
"Keeping temperatures more comfortable on hot summer days can make a big difference for those of us who live and work there," study co-author Monica Turner, a University professor in the department of Integrative Biology, said in a statement.
The right amount of leafy cover can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10℉—a real blessing when you're melting onto the sidewalk.
As climate change presents new challenges for city planners and heat waves drive up energy demands and threaten human health, trees may turn out to be the hero we need.
While roads, sidewalks, and buildings absorb heat during the day and release it at night, a decent amount of shrubbery can shade those surfaces from the sun's rays. Trees also release water into the air through their leaves, helping to cool the atmosphere.
For maximum effect, the green canvas must exceed 40 percent—which means a single city block would need to be nearly half covered by a network of branches and leaves.
Ideally, these sort-of forests would crop up in residential locations where people are active—not just in parks.
"The trees we plant now or the areas we pave now are going to be determining the temperatures of our cities in the next century," Ziter warned.
The full study was published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.


Fracking has dramatically increased the demand for water in the nation's most productive oil field, Texas' Permian Basin. Water usage has already risen sixfold since 2011, and according to research firm IHS Markit, demand will double again by the end of this year.
The market for water is booming, but many in West Texas worry about the depletion of groundwater. But there are new market developments that could meet the demand for frack water and mitigate environmental concerns at the same time.
It takes an average of 500,000 barrels of water to frack a single oil well, according to Joshua Adler, the Founder and CEO of a startup called Sourcewater, an online marketplace for frack water.
"We're a marketplace for water logistics, so it's kind of like Expedia," explains Adler.
By the "old way of doing things," Adler means direct negotiations between oil and gas companies and ranchers, like Schuyler White.
"All the ranchers out here sell water if the oil companies come in and start drilling," says White.
It's windy and overcast, but serene nonetheless. Longhorn cattle graze in the distance, and birds swoop down across the surface of the water.
"Most of the public doesn't realize how precarious our water situation is out here," says White. "They seem to think that they can keep pumping the water until there's not anymore left, but the reality is that I think we're a lot closer to running out of water than what people think.
But White's concern for groundwater is no match for the incentive to sell it. He's sold water from other properties and says he'll probably sell water from this spring as oil and gas companies expand south from the heart of the Permian Basin into other parts of West Texas.
"They're gonna get their water somewhere, and in this business you can't pass up a revenue stream because it's so hard to make a living," says White.
Drought and consolidation have made traditional ranching activities like raising cattle increasingly difficult for small producers, and groundwater has the potential to bring in millions of dollars.
Recycling produced water is attractive to oil and gas companies, but it comes with its own set of environmental concerns, namely groundwater contamination. Still, Texas regulators see it as an elegant market solution to growing concerns over groundwater supplies. The state started allowing recycling and transfer of produced water without a permit in April of 2013.
"Produced water, which has traditionally just been a waste stream turns into something more like a commodity that you can use for energy instead of fresh water," says Adler.
Whether it's produced water or water from the same aquifers the public relies on, Sourcewater is part of a young industry that's poised for tremendous growth.
Bluefield Research estimates a total of $136 billion dollars will be spent on supply, transport, storage, treatment and disposal of water over the next ten years. Almost 40% of that spending will come from the Permian Basin.

Nepřekládaná oblast (untranslated region, UTR) je v molekulární biologii oblast mRNA, která není překládána do proteinů. Nepřekládané oblasti jsou na 5' i 3' konci mRNA a u mRNA eukaryotních organismů typicky ohraničeny 5'čepičkou a 3' poly(A) koncem.

I když nepřekládaná oblast není translatována do proteinu, může mít řadu regulačních funkcí, například určovat, kdy bude docházet k translaci, případně určovat stabilitu celé mRNA.

5' nepřekládaná oblast (5' UTR)

5' nepřekládaná oblast začíná na první nukleotidu mRNA a končí na posledním nukleotidem před počátkem translace. 5'UTR často nese regulační oblasti a u prokaryot většinou obsahuje vazebné místo pro ribozom, takzvanou Shine-Delgarnova sekvence.
U eukaryot má 5' UTR medián délky kolem 150 nukleotidů, ale může být dlouhý i několik tisíc bází. Některé viry mají neobvykle dlouhé a strukturované 5'UTR, které umožňují regulovat genovou expresi (viz IRES). Obecně platí, že silně překládané mRNA mají krátké 5'UTR s nízkým obsahem GC-párů a bez výrazné sekundární struktury; mRNA s výraznou regulací, tkáňově specifické nebo zodpovědné za regulaci vývoje mají naopak dlouhé a strukturované 5'UTR oblasti.

mRNA kódované jedním genem se mohou lišit ve svých 5'UTR, pokud dojde k alternativnímu splicingu molekuly pre-mRNA nebo alternativnímu výběru počátku transkripce, a tedy nést různé regulační oblasti pro jednu kódující oblast. Řada lidských nemocí je spojována s mutacemi v 5'UTR, například rakovina prsu, dědičná trombocytémie a řada dalších.

Některé významné regulační oblasti na 5' UTR:
 Vazebné místa pro proteiny, které ovlivňují stabilitu mRNA nebo translaci, například iron response element, regulující některé mRNA v závislosti na přítomnosti železa.
 Riboswitch, oblast RNA schopná vázat malý ligand a v závislosti na vazbě regulovat překlad mRNA.
 Sekvence aktivující, nebo inhibující počátek translace
 Nevyštěpené introny, které mohou regulovat jaderný export mRNA. Většinou mRNA není exportována z jádra, dokud nejsou vyštěpeny všechny introny, přítomnost některých intronů naopak může vyvolat export RNA alternativní dráhou.
 G-kvadruplex (struktura známá spíše z DNA jako součást telomer) tvořící pevnou sekundární strukturu blokující kanonickou iniciaci translace. Může ovšem stimulovat translaci alternativními mechanismy, například zesilovat účinnost struktury IRES.
 Otevřené čtecí rámce ((ORF)), které mohou potenciálně kódovat jiný protein nebo peptid, než je ten, který mRNA kóduje ve svém hlavním ORF. Peptid z čtecího rámce předcházejícího tomu hlavnímu může regulovat elongační nebo terminační fázi translace.

3' nepřekládaná oblast (3' UTR)
3' nepřekládaná oblast v mRNA začíná bezprostředně za stop kodonem a často obsahuje řadu regulačních elementů. mRNA na 3' konci většinou dále pokračuje poly(A) koncem. Délka 3'UTR u savců se pohybuje mezi 80 a 4000 nukleotidy, typická délka je kolem 800 nukleotidů. Jejich délka tedy bývá delší, než v případě 5' UTR. mRNA s větší délkou jsou výrazně méně překládány do proteinů. Předpokládá se, že důvodem je větší pravděpodobnost výskytu míst vazby miRNA.

Regulační oblasti na 3'UTR ovlivňují polyadenylaci, efektivitu translace, lokalizaci mRNA a stabilitu RNA. Kromě sekvence 3'UTR závisí i na její délce a sekundární struktuře. Regulační mechanismy na 3'UTR dále zpřesňují kontrolu nad mRNA.

Některé významné regulační oblasti:
 Vazebná místa pro regulační proteiny a mikroRNA, které mohou vyvolat silencing RNA
 Nevyštěpené introny, i když v porovnáním s 5' UTR jsou výrazně vzácnější. V případě intronů v 3' UTR dochází často k degradaci RNA způsobené mechanismem nonsense-mediated decay. Podle in silico analýz se také zdá, že introny v 3' UTR často obsahují cíle pro microRNA, a jsou tedy cílem RNA silencingu.
 Oblasti regulující polyadenylaci
 Oblasti ovlivňující stabilitu RNA
 AU-bohaté oblasti (AU-rich element, ARE) ovlivňující stabilitu mRNA. Jsou dlouhé 50-150 pází o obsahují kopie sekvence "AUUUA" nebo její modifikace. Proteiny vázající ARE (ARE-BP) jsou obvykle zodpovědné za degradaci mRNA nesoucí ARE, a jsou aktivovány řadou vnitrobuněčných nebo externích stimulů. AU-bohaté oblasti patří mezi nejlépe prozkoumané 3' elementy, které se nachází v mRNA cytokinů, růstových faktorů, tumor supresorových genů, protoonkogenů a proteinů regulujících buněčný cyklus

 iron response element, který je destabilizující a vyvolává degradaci RNA, pokud není vázán specifickými proteiny (hlavní roli hraje akonitáza)
 sekvence řídící polyadenylaci, která může probíhat i v cytoplasmě a regulovat životnost mRNA a účinnost překladu mRNA. Ve většině případů určuje výběr místa pro počátek polyadenylace v jádře sekvence "jaderném polyadenylační signál" (AAUAAA). V některých případech, například při rané fázi vývoje dochází k cytoplasmatické polyadenylaci řízené specifickým signálem ("CPE", s konsenzem UUUUUUAU)
 Oblasti vázané cytoskeletem, proteiny transportujícími do jádra nebo ven, případně dalšími proteiny určujícími buněčnou lokalizaci

Pfister, Richard
RICHARD PFISTER
by Mrs. L. H. Hale
Richard Pfister, son of John and Ella Arnold Pfister, was born Sept. 17, 1885 in a three-room log house located on Page Flats about six miles southeast of what is now Manville. It is probable that "Richie", as his mother called him, was one of the first white babies born in the Lusk area.
The John Pfister family had come to Wyoming in the midsummer of 1884, by train to Cheyenne and by covered wagon from there to their new home. They had lived previously near Junction City, Kan. where John was the first white child born in Geary County·. In 1879 he had married Ella Josephine Arnold and in 1883 he and his brother-in-law, Edward Arnold came to the Lusk area where John found the location for the family's new home.
Five years later the Pfisters moved to a new home three miles southwest of Node, where the winters were a little less rigorous and where there was a school for the children. Richard was the 5th of 13 children.
The others were; Valentine, Maggie (Mrs. Albert Olinger), Jane (Mrs. Andrew Joy), John, Franke (Mrs. Earl Anderson), William, Ella (Mrs. Carl Dean), Vincent, Edwin, Anne (Mrs. Henry Wasserburger), and Leo and Paul who died in infancy.
There were no dull times in the Pfister household. Securing the basic necessities for the family was a challenge. Ella Pfister was deeply determined that her children should secure an education. Young 'Dick' was not particularly cooperative, feeling that more interesting education lay just outside the schoolroom window. When in his early teens he worked for some of the large ranch outfits, getting this experience
sandwiched in between his mother's efforts in getting him otherwise educated. He attended Chadron Academy and Omaha Commercial College, where he and Cousin Tom Arnold played football with at least as much enthusiasm as they pursued education.
In Omaha, Richard met Miss Nettie Burney whom he married Nov. 11, 1907. Nettie, a native Omahan, was the daughter of Herman and Josephine Johnson Burney. The young couple started their married life on the old Box X ranch east of Lusk. It was an enlightening period for the young bride.
The area itself was beautiful. There was a running trout filled stream near the house. Wolves and coyotes could be heard at night and never less than 20 hound dogs were kept to help keep the predators in check.
Mrs. Pfister soon found that skunks like chickens and eggs. She learned that hound dogs are always hungry and that hams and meat are never safe from them. She inherited the task of holding reins of the high stepping horses while gates were opened and shut and was a lonely and unwilling passenger in at least one runaway. To the true facts of life was added such advice as to beware of the wild goats in the area which had long hooks in their noses to enable them better to climb the nearby, sheer rock walls. She was seriously advised never to cook rabbits with flannel or woolen tails as only those with cotton tails were safely edible.
Herman helped make a rugged and demanding life enjoyable. Sometimes the humor became quite physical. A friendly wrestling match in the house often ended up with broken furniture and the room in a shambles.
Occasionally, one of the six-footers would forget the low doors found in most log
houses and be laid flat by his own negligence. Even as he lay "out cold" the rest laughed and enjoyed the "joke" just as they did when someone was flung from a mean jumping bronc. To the distaff side of the family, prayers always seemed more in order.
Wanting a ranch of their own Dick and Nettie Pfister left the Box X and purchased the Ed Wilson ranch on Mule Creek in northern Niobrara County in 1909. Replacing the running stream at the Box X were two barrels in which alum was used to settle the water, and a water hole nearby in which the water often was thick and full of scum.
Mule Creek which seemed either dry or wildly overflowing was not far away. Gradually, through the years, dams were built, lessening the flood threat and evening out the water supply. A cistern held water from Edgemont, 18 miles away.
Four miles to the southwest were good neighbors, the Oscar Jones family. Nellie Jones always seemed to have the ice for ice cream and the milk for cream and butter that Nettie Pfister had difficulty in securing on the Mule Creek place. It seemed a place of "more cows and less butter, more streams and less water." Valentine (Tine) Pfister worked with her brother in those early days and was deeply appreciated by his sister-in-law as he helped her secure some of the amenities of life. Tine even knew what to do when the chickens feet became hard balls of dried gumbo a day or so after a heavy rain.
Often riders would come from other ranches, presumably looking for strayed stock and would stay for several days. After meals the men would go outside, each to squat and whittle a piece of wood, meantime passing around the news and whatever other bits of wisdom seemed appropriate.
Occasionally, tragedy struck when a transient cowboy would bring lice or bedbugs. Bedbugs in a log house are formidable foes as any early-day house wife could tell you.
Good horses were a necessity in those days. As on other cattle ranches, the bronco riding and racing which went on a round the Mule Creek corrals would be of professional caliber today. Some of the boys who worked on the ranch were Frank Rheinhardt who married a sister of former Luskite, Mike Cork, Arch Nequette, later a prominent lawyer, Bud Vivion, an excellent rodeo rider, George Sweat, who had a lovely Indian wife and Jerome (Joe) and Cyril Kane, both of whom became prominent area ranchers. Lawrence (Slim) Danks was foreman for Mr. Pfister for many years. In 1893 Slim's father, Peter Danks, had worked as a cowboy on the 4 W outfit on the Cheyenne River, Wyoming Territory. Slim's uncle, Clayton Danks, was a sheriff of Fremont County, Wyoming and a world's champion bronc rider.
During these years the horseless carriage became increasingly popular. Mr. Pfister asked his brother-in-law, Gordon Burney, to bring a car from Omaha. He and his mother spent 5 frustrating days opening gates and looking for passable roads. The Reo car proved itself an asset despite the gumbo and poor roads. A robin's egg blue car, a Stephens, with a wood panel behind the front seat containing a clock was the family's favorite of all the early cars. A trip to Lusk never failed to bring a good heavy rain in the middle of which everyone piled out to snap on the curtains, none of which ever seemed to fit.
The years 1918-1919 were bad ones for stockmen. Along with many others the Pfister cattle had to be moved to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. The winter of 1919 brought severe loss of stock. Mr. and Mrs. Pfister spent years getting "even with the board".
Two children were born to the family, Helen in 1910 and a son, Richard Gordon in 1920.Since there was no available school in the Mule Creek area the Pfisters purchased a home in Edgemont where the children graduated from high school.
The depression years of the 30's were underway by the time Helen graduated from the University of Nebraska. While teaching in Nebraska Helen met and married Lloyd (Sammy) Hale, a Wyoming University graduate. One daughter, Diana was born to the Hales.
Richard graduated from Harvard University in time to enlist in the Army at Ft. Warren in 1942. On returning from the South Pacific in 1945 he joined his father in ranching.
While they were going to school Richard met and later married Audrey Jane Ellis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Ellis. Audrey and Dick are the parents of 4 sons, Richard III, Robert, Ronson and Rodney.
A time of severe trial for both ex perienced and inexperienced stockmen came with the winter of 1949. It brought back memories to the old-timers and made many young folks realize that nature at its worst is still as devastating as in pioneer times.
In November 1950, Mrs. Pfister who had been ill for some time, passed away in an Omaha hospital. Services were held in the old St. Leo's Church and burial was in the Lusk Cemetery.
Mr. Pfister married Catherine Mitchell Dill of Edgemont in 1963. Several months later Mr. Pfister was a passenger in a car when it collided with another in a snowstorm.Resulting injuries caused a deterioration
in his health and he died April 9, 1968. Services were held at St. Leo's Catholic Church and he was buried in the Lusk Cemetery. Mr. Pfister spent his nearly 83 years as a resident of what is now Niobrara County.

The Idea of Home
Winner, NSW Premier's Literary Award
The Idea of Home quantity
In The Idea of Home John Hughes writes about growing up in the Hunter Valley coal-mining town of Cessnock, in a household dominated by memories of the Ukraine, which his mother and grandparents were forced to flee during the Second World War.
Hughes charts the effect their stories and routines had on him as a child, the way they shaped his imagination, and determined his idea of himself, as a student in Newcastle, and later as the holder of a prestigious scholarship at Cambridge University. Yet this inheritance almost undoes him, for in Cambridge what he encounters is not the romantic idea of Europe he had imagined, but a provincialism more pronounced than that he had left behind in Australia.
John Hughes was born in Cessnock, NSW, and educated at the Universities of Newcastle and Cambridge, and the University of Technology, Sydney. His first book, The Idea of Home: Autobiographical Essays, won both the National Biography Award and the NSW Premier's Award for Non Fiction. He is the librarian at Sydney Grammar School.

Banning plastic. Would the fight matter with Hasbro?
With China now refusing to take a lot of the world's plastic waste imports, there's a crisis on where it can go, and it's being sent to other poor countries to be burned or wind up in illegal landfills. There's a desperate need, now, more than ever to ban the plastic and have retailers change their product packaging. I know Hasbro uses excessive amounts of plastic in their pony product packaging, but do you guys think it's worth trying to push Hasbro to change, since 1: a lot of the older fanbase doesn't actually purchase their lesser quality products, so they're not the ones who need to vote with their wallets, and 2: the ponies being sold are made of non bio-degradable materials? What have you guys noticed regarding Hasbro's packaging in the pony products? Does anything need to change?
I just went to Walmart yesterday and noticed they'd put out a bunch of new ponies (Mane 6 as usual, but different versions I guess). They no longer had brushes/combs and simply included one pony figure but man, the packaging was elaborate considering they weren't special editions, as far as I know. It's certainly aesthetically pleasing but it was really wasteful. The pony itself took up maybe a third of the total height of the (entirely plastic) packaging. There was a lot of empty space. I can't imagine how much plastic was used in mass-producing those.
On one hand, I know a lot of collectors keep their ponies mint for display/value purposes, but collectors aren't the primary market here. Most people I know actively shop for eco-friendly products, so I think changing the packaging would be beneficial. It might also push prices down a bit but that's just my own wishful thinking. XD The majority of consumers want more eco-friendly products. I really think it would do Hasbro well to keep up with that demand.
Just like food containers for resturants for the typical 'doggy bag', they are being made with plant based materials for plastic or paper type boxes. The plastics for the Mane 6 and Retro Anniversary MLPs probably have a more plant based plastic mix, but we wouldn't know for sure unless someone asks. If Hasbro has done this, it would be good PR to explain why and how they did this change in an article or interview online or tv. Have a seal indicating that the toy's box has been redeveloped to be plant based plastics.
I mean, Hasbro removed BPA from their ponies in the early 2000s, why not make the packaging plant based plastic?

2021 special legislative session
Expungement bill passes Senate committee
By MatthewReichbach | March 31, 2021
A Senate committee passed a heavily amended piece of legislation to expunge the criminal records of those convicted of cannabis-related crimes that would no longer be crimes under the proposed cannabis legalization bill working its way through the special session.
The bill would provide for automatic expungement of cannabis related offenses that would no longer be illegal under the new law.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 6-3 to pass the bill after hours of technical discussion on language and a series of amendments to clarify the law.
"I think a critical part of our state moving forward with the cannabis legislation is making sure that folks who have been convicted or arrested or dealt with the fallout of offenses that were based on actions that in the cannabis regulation act passes will no longer be crimes aren't suffering the negative impacts of that," Sen. Katy Duhigg, an Albuquerque Democrat who is one of five sponsors of the bill, said.
Among the numerous amendments adopted in the committee were to remove the role of the Attorney General in reviewing cases of those incarcerated to have the cannabis-related portions of their convictions removed from their conviction and one that would clarify that only the portions of records related to cannabis would be removed from the record.
Sen. Daniel Ivey-Soto floated the possibility of instituting a "legislative pardon" for those who were convicted of cannabis-related crimes that would no longer be illegal if the state legalizes cannabis.
Duhigg worried that it would be ruled unconstitutional by the state supreme court and that it would be overturned.
Ivey-Soto said that the state supreme court had already found that the governor did not have the exclusive right to pardon, in certain circumstances. A report by the Santa Fe Reporter indicated the idea could be overly ambitious.
The bill was originally slated to be heard later Tuesday night, but the extensive amendments, 11 in all, meant the committee report took longer than usual to put together. The bill will be heard by the full Senate at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, after which the Senate is scheduled to meet in a committee of the whole to discuss cannabis legalization efforts.
The full House is expected to vote on its version of cannabis legalization Wednesday morning.
The House and Senate each passed a "feed bill" which will pay for the session, though Republicans in both chambers criticized the money included to pay for the administration of the cannabis legislation.
Lawmakers protected themselves when redistricting, report finds
New Mexico lawmakers protected themselves and their colleagues when they redrew political district maps crafted by a 2021 nonpartisan advisory commission, shielding incumbents of both parties from competition and making legislative elections less competitive, according to a new 59-page report co-authored by University of New Mexico political science professor Gabriel Sanchez.

Super Impulse's Tiny Arcade line—a series of four-inch-tall fully playable arcade cabinets—is a fun way for '80s kids to relive their childhoods spent stuffing quarters into arcade machines. But for those times when you're away from your desk and get the itch for Pac-Man or Missile Command, Super Impulse has created a new MicroArcade line that now puts those classic titles on gaming machines no bigger than a credit card.
They're not quite as thin as the Visa or MasterCard you've just whipped out of your wallet while desperately searching for a pre-order link, but the MicroArcades still manage to squeeze a full-color LCD screen, sound effects, physical controls, and a microUSB charging port into a wallet-friendly handheld that's just over three-inches long. Yes, your smartphone can already play countless classic gaming titles, but as we've repeatedly stated: an emulator's touchscreen controls are a poor substitute for real buttons.
Kevin Bates' Arduboy (left) and the Tetris MicroCard (right).
If Super Impulse's MicroArcade consoles look familiar to you, it's because the company has actually licensed the same technology that powers Kevin Bates' Arduboy and Tetris MicroCard handhelds, which we've reviewed in the past.
But Super Impulse has also made some improvements to Bates' original design, including the color screen upgrade and the ability to play games that require a little more horsepower under the hood. MicroArcade Series 1 will feature three different versions at launch: Pac-Man, Tetris, and an Atari Combo Card that includes Missile Command, Centipede, and a third game that will be revealed at the New York Toy Fair later this week. When available later this year they'll sell for between $20 and $25, which is going to make them hard to pass up if they're stacked near the checkout aisle.

Lawrence of Arabia Movie Review
by AVForums May 1, 2001
Lawrence of Arabia Movie (1962)
David Lean's epic movie about T.E. Lawrence uniting hostile Arab factions during World War I and leading them against the might of the Turkish Empire arrives on DVD in fine form. The anamorphic picture quality is very impressive, although the 5.1 soundtrack has clearly been taken from the original mono source and sounds a little contrived at times.
One of the reasons for this being a two-disc box set is the length of the movie and the number of additional features Columbia Tristar has managed to source. However, don't assume that you'll find extras on one disc and the film on the other, as Columbia has rather wisely split the film across the two discs. Before you start complaining about being forced to change discs, it is worth remembering that the film does feature an intermission which was part of the original theatrical print, and as such this use of space on the discs actually suits the movie.
As for the extras themselves, you get an original 60min retrospective documentary which looks back at the making of the film and the story which inspired it, an interview with Steven Spielberg discussing how the film influenced him and how he became involved in the restoration process, footage from the film's New York premiere, an archive of maps, photographs and texts detailing the events portrayed in the film, a theatrical trailer, four brief promotional featurettes from the time of the film's production, an animated advertising gallery, filmographies, and DVD-ROM material.

"The Pompidou captured the revolutionary spirit of 1968" - Richard Rogers
Marcus Fairs | 26 July 2013 5 comments
In our second exclusive video interview in our series of movies about Richard Rogers, the British architect reveals that key elements of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, which he designed together with Italian architect Renzo Piano, were strongly influenced by the radical thinking of the 1960s. Update: this interview is featured in Dezeen Book of Interviews, which is on sale now for £12.

The Centre Pompidou was born out of a competition launched by the French government in 1970 and was completed in 1977. However, Rogers cites the political unrest in Paris in the previous decade, when protesting students and workers came close to overthrowing the government in 1968, as a key influence.
"That moment nearly changed history, certainly for Europe," Rogers says. "It looked as though there would be a revolution. In fact, it didn't happen. But we captured some of it in the building."
He adds: "It was a highly active period of politics, and you could argue that it was a part of the concept [for the building]. This was a dynamic period, a period of change, but we wanted to catch what was going on at the moment."

The Centre Pompidou is also linked to 1968 by its name. Originally called the Centre Beaubourg, the building was renamed when Georges Pompidou, who was prime minister of France when the protests kicked off and became president after Charles de Gaulle was forced to resign, died during construction of the building.
"It is said in France that Pompidou had a plane revving up because he thought he would lose the war against the students, the intellectuals, and the workers," Rogers says.

In Roger's and Piano's original design, the main facade of the building featured a large screen, which would have displayed information from other arts and cultural institutions around the world. But this was scrapped after Pompidou's death for political reasons.
"The facade on the building, if you look more carefully, was very much about the riots and very much about Vietnam," Rogers says. "We had it all going very well until Pompidou died and Giscard [the subsequent president of France] came in and sunk it with no hands. He said: 'It is a political weapon, I don't want it.' So that died."

Rogers says that the idea of the putting all the structure and services on the outside of the building to maximise the flexibility of the internal space also has its roots in the volatility of this period of history.
"We wanted to make a building that was clearly of our period, which caught the zeitgeist of the now," he says.

"The one thing we knew about this age is it's all about change, if there's one constant, it's change. So we said that we'd make massive floors, which were the size of two football pitches with no vertical interruptions, structure on the outside, mechanical service on the outside, people's movement on the outside and theoretically you can do anything you want on those floors."
"We didn't say where the museum should go, where the library should go, and of course, the library changed radically because when we started there were books and by the time we finished it books were almost finished because of I.T. So again that's about change."

The radical design of the building was initially met with hostility, Rogers claims.
"It was vilified whilst we were designing it from the first day onwards," he says. "Nobody said one kind word until it opened and when people started to queue up."
He reflects: "I remember once standing outside on a rainy day and there was a small woman with an umbrella who offered me shelter. We started talking, as one does in the rain, and she asked: 'what do you think of this building?'"
"Stupidly, I said that I designed it and she hit me on the head with her umbrella. That was just typical of the general reaction of the people, especially during the design and construction stage. [People thought we were] destroying their beautiful Paris.'"
However, Rogers believes that shock-factor is a mark of good architecture.
"All good architecture is modern in its time," he says. "Gothic was a fantastic shock; the Renaissance was another shock to all the little medieval buildings.The shock of the new is always rather difficult to get over."

Despite the initial reaction, Rogers says that the French public warmed to the building over time and maintains that the project as a whole was always designed "for the people."
"When we did our first studies, it showed that there was no public space nearby," he says. "So we created this big piazza. There were, I think, 681 entries [to the original design competition] and strangely enough there were no others with a big piazza. That is really critical to the workings of the Pompidou."

"We said that we will put the building not in the middle of the piazza, but actually on one side because that will give people a place to meet," he continues. "The idea was that you had a public space, and you'd go up the facade of the of the building in streets in the air with escalators floating across it, so the whole thing became very dynamic. People come to see people as well as to see art; people come to meet people. So we wanted to practice that as theatre."
Rogers concludes: "The whole idea of Pompidou was that it is a place for the meeting of all people. And the success of it was that the French took it over and it became the most visited building in Europe."
