Brennan On The Moor
The most popular Irish highwayman since the second half of the 19th century was William Brennan who is immortalized in the ballad "Brennan On The Moor". Not much is known about him except a lot of legends, but this song has survived.

The definitive and most influential version surely was the one by the Clancy Brothers who included it in 1961 on The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem (Tradition) and on their first Columbia LP A Spontaneous Performance Recording). Willie Brennan was a farm labourer who, having robbed a British army officer for a dare, had to flee to the Kilworth Mountains and the roads of North Cork and Southern Tipperary. Following his capture, he was tried at Clonmel, and hanged in the year 1804. Broadsheets were printed in Cork c.1850 and the song soon spread to England, Scotland and North America, where it became the basis for the song Charlie Quantrell (see Alan Lomax, The Folk Songs of North America. New York, 1960. p. 347). The ten-pence was a small musket popular with Irish patriots and which, as the name suggests, could once be purchased for ten-pence each.

When my school came back from fall break, I had a teacher report that one of her classroom iPads had gone missing. I get messages like this quite often, but they are almost always in the building. I can verify this by logging into my Jamf Pro dashboard, and see which IP address it last "checked in" from. Our school has a static IP address, so the iPads will also show that as the last known IP address. I can also have Jamf Pro send me an email if one checks in off campus, I had actually turned this off as we had a student who was at St. Jude off and on last year, so I disabled the alerts while she was there, and I forgot to turn them back on. I had originally set this feature up to help prevent school iPad theft.
When I logged in, I had a single iPad show up in my "off-campus" smart group. I clicked on it, and it had been renamed. It's odd that it was renamed because I have a policy of setting the names from Jamf Pro, so I was curious how that would have happened (I figured it out, don't worry). At this point, I am concerned. I have an iPad off campus, from an IP address that isn't one of mine, and it's been renamed. It last checked in on the previous Saturday.
Around this time, I get a phone call that someone has "found" a tablet belonging to our school. We went back and forth on how we could recover it, and I eventually called a detective friend of mine to see what was the best way to proceed. He advised us to file a theft report, but still, go pick it up (with a police officer). He said that if the police picked it up, it would go into evidence, and would be a few weeks before we'd get it back. We proceeded with that plan, and I went to this person's work to pick it up.
When I got the iPad back to school, I charged it, and then it turned back on. I noticed the iPad had been wiped, and the Wi-Fi was off. A light bulb when off in my head as to exactly what happened.
For starters, all of our iPads are enrolled in the Device Enrollment Program (through Apple School Manager). Apple's DEP system has our iPads straight from the factory tied into our account with them. Once I add it to our MDM, it's locked to us in a similar fashion to when consumer devices are logged into iCloud. For it to not be this way, I have to "disown" it through a portal Apple has set up. This helps prevent school iPad theft as only the school can let it go.
With DEP, large-scale deployments of iPad, iPhone, Mac, and Apple TV are seamless. Once devices have been activated, you can immediately configure account settings, apps, and access to IT services over the air. You don't need to use staging services or physically access each device to complete the setup.
With Apple's DEP system, even when it was wiped using iTunes, it immediately started restoring itself to one of our iPads. So I suspect that whoever stole it connected it to their Wi-Fi. When it began restoring apps, he got concerned that he could be tracked (and he could), so he flipped the Wi-Fi off and shut it down. Within ten minutes, the iPad was back to normal. The device was also renamed back to what it should have been as well.
I have re-enabled e-mail alerts on my Jamf Pro for offsite iPads.
I've set it up where the wallpaper of offsite iPads is changed to the photo below using a Jamf Pro smart group and Automated Management.
Apple gets (and rightly so) a lot of flack for its iPad strategy in education, but this situation shows they've built a system that can help deter theft from schools. Had this person not returned the iPad, we could have sent the IP address to the police, and they could have tracked it from there.
We aren't 100% sure how the iPad was stolen as our camera system filled up its hard drive the day before and failed to start overwriting itself, but I suspect whoever stole it now knows stolen iPads from schools aren't worth stealing. Thanks to Jamf Pro and the Device Enrollment Program, school IT managers can help prevent school iPad theft.

Last week, Streamr was in Mexico, co-organising and hosting our very first hackathon! It was truly amazing to see scores of students all interacting with Streamr technology and getting excited by our decentralizing mission. I thought I'd write up my thoughts in this blog to keep Streamr users and enthusiasts informed. Before I begin, I have to give a really big thank you to our community member David Resendiz. It was David who first proposed that we come to Mexico City. He then started actively planning for our arrival and connecting the team with key people and leading institutions out there, which allowed us to play a really big role in a series of amazing events - a full day workshop at prestigious ITAM University and a three day hackathon with over 200 attendees. He also set up an interview with Fortune journalist. That's why this month we made David our community hero and awarded him with a special community hero trophy!
Why did we go to Mexico?
There were a few reasons we decided to organize multiple back-to-back events in Mexico City. We definitely wanted to strengthen our presence in the Americas by building stronger awareness of the project. But we also wanted the chance to catch up with existing community members there. Mexico is also a great gateway to other Spanish speaking countries in the region. Interestingly, many of the early crypto adopters learned about the space from Latin America countries because while in most developed countries people considered blockchain/crypto as a novel technology with potential, in Latin America it has been viewed as a necessary means to obtaining social and economic justice. Finally Streamr is planning to launch a community developers outreach program to attract adoption and stimulate new use-cases so a big hackathon seemed to be a nice starting point to kick-off the pilot.
Here's a brief overview of the various events we organized or participated in Mexico.
ITAM Workshop
ITAM is a very small university in comparison to its Mexican counterparts. For example, it houses only around 6,000 students compared to 300,000 of UNAM university there. But despite its size it is very influential within Mexican political and economic circles. Its roster of alumni span ex-Presidents, Secretary of Finance and other renowned economists. In addition, its research collaborations include Stanford, Yale, Berkeley, the University of Chicago and Harvard.
Alongside other decentralised projects like our friends from Status, we held a full day workshop. Ours was dedicated to showcasing the Ethereum blockchain, smart contracts, and Streamr's technological capabilities, including an IoT sensor integration demo and were really delighted to have a packed room. Attendees included computer science undergrad/masters, business students, startup founders and the Dean of the School of Engineering. Streamr's lead Ethereum developer Juuso Takalainen guided the workshop and kept everyone highly engaged.
ITAM Workshop with Juuso at the head of the class. In a suit of all things #fancy.
The hackathon was organized by MxHack and UNAM university, and was a much bigger affair. In fact this turned out to be one of the largest hackathons organized in Mexico. There were over 1000 applications from participants and organizers selected 400 of them. There was such a large turn-out that they had to close the registration early as the space reached full capacity. It involved three days of non-stop, old style hacking, with many people staying there overnight in sleeping bags and indoor tents. I was really blown away by the level of passion and commitment.
Streamr was one of the main blockchain projects there, and Juuso and I helped set up the challenges and mentored the students.
Mega Hackathon
We launched two main challenges, one focused on Streamr integrations and the other focused on the usage of the Ethereum blockchain, as our complimentary goal was to also grow Ethereum ecosystem. One disclaimer: this hackathon was primarily organized for university students, so we set our expectations accordingly. We were more interested in seeing novel use-cases of Streamr rather than advancing coding solutions. Also we held an additional workshop during the hackathon to spread more awareness about the Ethereum blockchain and its smart contracting capabilities. We also taught attendees how they could deploy their own tokens. Of course as part of this I created my own WeiTokens. (My ICO is on its way).
Outlined below are some of the interesting projects we had chance to mentor and follow during the event.
SeguridApp
Mass robberies of bus passengers are actually a very common event in Mexico. Armed robbers board a bus and go on to steal as many phones and items of jewellery as they can before escaping. The hacking team presented a theoretical solution that would combine public bus location data with each rider's phone's GPS as a cluster analysis in realtime. An algorithm would detect any anomaly like large subset of that cluster suddenly departing from the bus route and all heading in same direction at the same speed. This detected anomaly would then trigger a police alert with GPS coordinates of that subset sent in realtime. Streamr would be used as the underlying network to gather data from individual phones and buses.
The team primarily comprised of automation engineering students, who planned to create a fully automated solution to grow and manage plants. As a statement to the uniqueness of people we met there, this team had brought along a living carnivorous plant with them to be used as demonstration, (sure, I carry one of those around with me all the time). It was a perfect scenario to utilise a Ruuvi Tag and the long published JavaScript library. With this integration, they could monitor in realtime both temperature and humidity of the desired plot of land targeted. Once data from the sensor was pushed to a stream, they leveraged the Streamr Visual Editor to create event triggers based on specified criteria. For example, they could send a command to activate the water pump if the temperature reached above a certain threshold. Hypothetically, they could use a similar setup to monitor and automate an entire indoor or vertical farm, which are getting very popular in large metropolitan cities where it is not always easy to find affordable organic food.

2Steps
This team had a nice setup with DragonBoard hardware connected to sensors to mimic shoe pressure sensors. Their solution was to record various parameters from the tennis shoes and transmit that data to a stream on the Marketplace, showcasing an IoT integration solution. Use cases could range from wellness insights to granular performance analysis for athletes. Imagine an app in future that would tailor training based on individual running style, pressure points and health related data?
2Steps, your own personal fitness trainer as a bot?
Uniken
This project deployed its own token on the Ethereum mainnet. Their main intention was to use the token to create an intra-university coin system to pay for anything like cafeteria food, books, tutoring lessons and more. Long gone are the days when you needed to top-up your university ID card for things like photocopying. Following the path of many ICO projects, they even created a neat website to promote it. It is hard not to give them credit for checking all the boxes.
There were a few other projects we didn't mention here as there were around 40+ teams in total at the hackathon. But out of all the potential competitors, the two winning teams we selected for both the Streamr and Ethereum challenges were 2Steps and Uniken respectively.
Hurrah to the winners 2Steps and Uniken!
Both projects really stood out, and for their creativity and hard work each team got to take home a goody bag of a Ledger Nano hardware wallet, a Raspberry Pi, Ruuvi Tags, limited edition T-shirts and 1000 in $DATA per team member.
It was a great experience being in Mexico City. Events are important, because if you do them well, you get to meet people in person in a way that affects them and you in a really lasting way. We got to interact with many great teams, connect with local institutions and key members of the blockchain community. We'll not forget our time there and hopefully it won't be too long before we return again.
Special thanks also to Streamr's Julieta Arenas Morán for making everything flow so smoothly as always.

Biography of George Sprecher
Leave a Comment	/ Crawford County / By Iowa Genealogy
George Sprecher, a clerk in the freight department of the Chicago & Northwestern depot at Denison, is one of the well-to-do and enterprising young residents of the city. His birth occurred in Denison, Iowa, on the 31st of August, 1877, his parents being Cyrus and Belle (Deffenbaugh) Sprecher, the former a native of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and the latter of Strawsburg, that state. Cyrus Sprecher was a merchant in Chambersburg at the time the rebels burnt the town. He came to Denison, Iowa, in 1872 in order to settle the estate of his brother Samuel, who was killed in a railroad accident. In 1874 he took up his permanent abode here, erected a brick store and subsequently engaged in business as a commission merchant, dealing in live stock, coal, etc. He gave his political alliance to the republican party, served as township trustee for eighteen or twenty years and was also a member of the city council. Both he and his wife were Lutherans in religious faith but attended the Presbyterian church here. Mr. Sprecher was called to his final rest on the 27th of March, 1906, when seventy-four years of age. The period of his residence in Denison covered more than three decades and in his passing the community lost one of its most substantial and respected citizens. His widow, who still survives him, has a host of warm friends here.
George Sprecher, an only child, was reared in Denison and supplemented his preliminary education, obtained in the public schools, by a course of study in the University of Iowa. After putting aside his text-books he was employed by the telephone company for a year and then acted as assistant postmaster for a period of eleven years. Since January, 1910, he has acted as a freight clerk for the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Company at Denison, being a most valuable and trusted employee.
On the 15th of June, 1902, Mr. Sprecher was united in marriage to Miss Grace Baer, who was born at Point of Rocks, Maryland, her parents being Lewis M. and Laura (Fulton) Baer, likewise natives of that state. They took up their abode among the early settlers of Denison, Iowa, and Lewis M. Baer served as night watchman of the town for more than twenty years. He passed away here in the spring of 1910 but is still survived by his widow. Their children were two in number : William and Grace Mary.
In politics Mr. Sprecher is a republican, while in religious faith he is a Presbyterian. His wife is a member of the Methodist church. In Masonry he has attained the thirty-second degree of the Scottish Rite, belonging to Sylvan Lodge, No. 507, A. F. & A. M.; Ark Chapter, No. 89, R. A. M., of Dunlap; Harlan Commandery, No. 90, K. T.; Za-ga-zig Temple of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine; and Des Moines Consistory, No. 3, S. P. R. S. He is also identified with the Modern Woodmen and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, belonging to Denison Lodge, No. 626, of the latter fraternity. In the town of Denison, where his entire life has been spent, he is widely and favorably known.

Click the button below to add the GWACS Armory CAV-15 Lower Parts Kit - AR-15 to your wish list.
GWACS Armory Quality Standard Milspec Lower parts kit specifically for populating a CAV-15 MKII as non required parts are excluded.
Does not include trigger guard, guard pins, pistol grip and screw as the CAV15 MKII does not require these components.
The kit was very affordable and the quality, fit and performance was excellent.
This kit is precisely all the parts I needed to complete my rifle. I didn't have to worry about buying another kit that had more parts than what I needed. Also it has a pretty nice trigger!
Used the YouTube video on how to install and had no problems, everything was there. Trigger is surprisingly smooth and all around good to use; virtually no take up, nice crisp pull and not much overtravel which was a pleasant surprise.


I pursue excellence with unrelenting academic fervor. My track record since entering university has been near-perfect. Countless accolades, awards, scholarships and memberships with professional organizations abound in my academic career. It is this driven need for excellence that I bring to the field of Orthodontics. Throughout my academic career, I have maintained over a decade of conceptual continuity that is pertinent and relevant to my goals of orthodontic practice and research.
I especially love the way in which Orthodontics is such a rapidly changing field. New technologies in orthodontic treatment as well as advances in the diagnosis and treatment of patients have dramatically changed. Throughout my education, I have seen that in the last eight years alone there have been tremendous improvements. I find these changing times exciting, and love to immerse myself in the intellectual and technical challenges of clinical orthodontics and the research thereof. I am fascinated with how we can substantially alter the human face through growth alteration or with orthognathic surgery is leading my steps to research in orthodontics. Compassionate care, kindness and a gentle hand have not changed, and I'm happy to say, I possess all three. I look forward, with great eagerness to beginning my career in the singularly most rewarding and enjoyable profession I can imagine.
In particular, I enjoy the way in which Orthodontists alter a person's visage, and thus, their confidence, helping them to feel more comfortable in their skin. Our faces determine an important part of our outlook, and sets the stage for our interactions with others. But, moreover, correcting malocclusions improves a patient's quality of life and health. Whilst volunteering in the more socio-economically depressed communities in my homeland of Uzbekistan, I've seen firsthand the material benefit of the care, especially preventative care. I have reached out to socio-economically depressed communities and the underprivileged, educating children in the benefits and rewards of good oral hygiene. Any doctor knows that prevention is better than cure, and what better way than starting with children.
Born and raised in Uzbekistan, I have traveled to the most remote places and suburbs in my homeland and provided dental services in a local hospital. Upon graduating, I intend to share the experiences and knowledge I have with the people of developing nations. I have seen first-hand the difficulties these countries have in establishing modern health care systems. Additionally, to keep my education well-practiced, I have tutored math, physics, and chemistry; and ballet, just for fun. I've found there's no better way to educate oneself than to teach. Through an academic relationship with your school, I hope to be so much more than just a student, but an asset. This is my life and chosen field.
My upbringing, the pride I have for my family, have all taught me to never squander the talents that God has given me. Truly, I am humbled by the thought that my talents will soon benefit individuals and through my research, society. What better truth could I possibly find.


For the purpose of this discussion let's assume you need to make at least 2000 parts. For lower volume prototyping builds rapid prototyping processes are more appropriate.
Here are some example plastic manufacturing processes that are commonly used to produce parts in consumer electronics and industrial automation.
Injection molding: This is the most common process that yields repeatable parts with the lowest part cost. Appropriate for moderately sized runs. The up front tooling cost is a concern. There are services like Protomold that reduces the up front investment by creating a quick and dirty mold that can't run as fast and won't last through as many parts (but is perfectly fine for a first build if you already know you have design iterations coming in the form of a quick-turn product refresh).
Thermoforming: This is best for large parts that will be too expensive to injection mold (due to the cost of the mold). Cosmetic parts that are 12" and above in the longest dimension can be good candidates for thermoforming. The benefits are lower cost tooling and much faster turnaround time, at the cost of less precise part tolerances and less options for surface finish and in-mold decorating.
Rotomoting: This is how rubber ducks are made - appropriate for soft squishable parts that have undercuts.
CNC machining: Amazingly, this could be a real option for small run parts as you can get good material properties and surface finish. The flip side is intolerably high costs. It could make sense for very small lots for very high priced products.

The Giving Tree is a classic piece of literature that I would read to children of any age. It would be wonderful to use at the beginning of a school year when trying to promote a positive classroom environment. It is all about sharing with others. I would have students write about what others have given to them or what they have given to others after reading this text.


We can now offer 1.5 miles of single bank fishing on the Palnure Burn. This local water, being partly tidal, boasts 10 pools that hold abundant numbers of sea trout and salmon when conditions allow. All legal methods are allowed (no shrimp) and worming the pools by use of a float or trotting the streams can be as productive a way as any to tempt the migrant inhabitants.

Steps must be taken to avoid resistance to latest malaria drug, UN agency warns
The United Nations health agency today called on countries to adopt monitoring measures to ensure that new life-saving malaria medicines do not lose their effectiveness through misuse, producing resistant strains of a disease that causes more than 300 million acute illnesses and 1 million deaths annually.
"It is crucial that these medicines be used correctly," said Pascal Ringwald, a medical officer in the World Health Organization (WHO) Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Department and principal author of a new report on global monitoring of antimalarial drugs released today.
The report, "Susceptibility of Plasmodium falciparum to Antimalarial Drugs", warns that as more and more people gain access to the medicines, which combine a drug derived from the plant Artemisia annua with a second, synthetic drug, it is vital that countries closely monitor the drugs' effectiveness.
More than 50 governments have followed WHO's recommendations on malaria treatment and adopted artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs), the most effective antimalarial drugs available today. This has enhanced prospects for reducing the burden of the disease worldwide.
Drugs derived from the plant Artemisia annua must be used as ACTs in combination with a second drug, and not alone. Otherwise, the medicines could lose their potency over time due to the development of resistance. This has already happened with other antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine, once a mainstay of treatment .
To avoid this, WHO is calling on countries to use only WHO-approved ACTs (an artemisinin-based drug combined with amodiaquine, lumefantrine, mefloquine or sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine) of high quality, since drugs of low potency can promote resistance.
All people taking antimalarials should be educated about the importance of finishing their course of medication, since incomplete treatment is another cause of resistance, WHO warned. Any change in efficacy of antimalarial drugs should prompt an appropriate update in a country's treatment policy.
The danger of resistance stems from the malaria parasite's ability to evade the lethal action of drugs. Because malaria parasites are genetically highly diverse, some strains can escape drugs unharmed and pass along their resistance to progeny. As sensitive organisms die off, resistant strains may come to dominate, and over time an antimalarial drug can lose its ability to cure infection.
Resistance is more likely to occur when only one drug is used. Combining an artemisinin-based medicine with another antimalarial drug, as WHO recommends, sharply reduces the risk. "To date no treatment failures due to artemisinin drug resistance have been documented, but we are watching the situation very attentively," Dr. Ringwald said.
"We have the means to enhance the lifespan of ACTs. In addition, we must move forward energetically on research to develop new antimalarial medicines," said Fatoumata Nafo-Traoré, Director of WHO's RBM Department.

Revisiting classics with Moti Mahal - CHOMP! SLURRP! BURP!
Moti Mahal is known as the curator of butter chicken and innumerable outlets propped all over the place. There are so so many Moti Mahal around the city and you can almost always tell the good ones from the junky ones. Moti Mahal at Sohna Road is an ideal family dining place with that classic charm. Leather couches, smartly dressed tables and courteous servers.
We started with paneer tikka and malai chicken tikka. Both came sizzling our way and we were slightly bedazzled by the presentation – I guess sizzling plates keep the tikkas warmer for long and add a smokey touch. The paneer was a little chewy than soft but was well dowsed with masalas and goodness. The malai chicken tikka on the other was an impressive prep of succulent, creamy chicken, done to a crisp perfection.
Our mains included the classic dal makhni, murgh makhani and mutton dum biryani with a bread basket of tandoori roti and laccha parantha. The dal makhni was well loaded with butter and the creamy texture sure made it delectable to bits. The murgh makhani however was yes creamy, made in the original way – with tandoori chicken pieces, but was slightly on the tangier side. And that is the Moti Mahal way, their butter chicken is tangier than sweeter. On a personal note, I do prefer the sweet one more. Mutton dum biryani – tender pieces of mutton, mingled together with rice and whole spices. Served with raita, this easy on your palate biryani was a winner.
What you should definitely chomp on? Their malai chicken tikka and mutton dum biryani.

M62 temporary closure
on July 30, 2015 1 min read
This weekend there will be a temporary closure of part of the M62 as the Greystone footbridge across the motorway is demolished.
Both carriageways of the M62 will be closed from Junction 5 (Roby) to Junction 4 (Bowring Park Road) from 10pm Friday 31 July to 5am Monday 3 August 2015.
The footbridge has reached the end of its serviceable life and Knowsley Council is investing in a new modern replacement bridge that will cater for both cyclists and pedestrians. The bridge will be illuminated in the evenings to ensure a safe crossing route.
During the temporary closure, the primary diversion routes are via the M57, East Lancashire Road, Queens Drive and via the A5300 Knowsley Expressway, Speke Road, Speke Hall Road, Hillfoot Road, Menlove Avenue and Queens Drive.
Secondary diversion routes are via Thomas Lane, Liverpool Road and the M57 and via Roby Road and Bowring Park Road.
It is anticipated that travelling along the diversion routes could add an additional 15 to 20 minutes travel time. Drivers are advised to factor this into any journeys.
Access from The Rocket junction to Thomas Lane/Broad Green Hospital will be maintained.
Messages have been displayed on electronic signs and road side signs to alert motorists in advance about the closure.
Cllr Mike Murphy, Knowsley's Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Development said: "We've been working closely with neighbouring local authorities and emergency services to ensure that any disruption is kept to a minimum.
"While we appreciate the temporary motorway closure will cause some inconvenience, we hope that people will understand that this is necessary to allow the demolition work to be carried out safely."
There will be a further temporary closure of part of the M62 when the new bridge is installed on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October 2015.

Woman's body found after Meriden house fire
THE body of a woman was found in a bungalow after a fire.
Police were investigating the cause of the blaze in Main Street, Meriden, which started at about 12.20pm yesterday.
Ambulance crews found the 59-year-old but she was declared dead at the scene.
The house was sealed off for a police investigation along with a large area around a nearby pond.
Distraught neighbours gathered around the house in shock.
Gail Fisher, a receptionist who has lived in Meriden for ten years, said she had never seen anything like it in the village before.
She said: "It is usually a really quiet place so it's really unusual for something like this to have happened.
"I saw a bit of commotion in the road and saw that the pond had been cordoned off when I arrived at work at 3pm but no-one knew what was going on."
The house is opposite the Manor Hotel and visitors were alerted by the sirens of emergency vehicles.
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "Investigations are in the very early stages.
"Officers are working closely with the fire service to try and establish what has happened."


Visiting some place beautiful and photographing it is not work to me, it's something I have enjoyed from way back. And it's something I do often! In furthering my potential of photography on my Clients homes, I choose to study on the outdoors. This past week I visited one of my favorite destinations "Napa Valley". I love to go visit "Castillo di Amorosa". It is a beautiful Italian Castle that is replicated by Dario Sattui. You may recognize the name from another one of my favorite Wineries to stop, V. Sattui in St Helena.
I like to get exercise and always mix health into my trips by a bike ride or hike or other forms of activity. My favorite for this area are usually a hike at the beautiful "Bothe State Park" or a bike ride along the Silverado Trail. This time I met a great friend of mine and a previous employee, and we biked the Silverado Trail. It is always great fun!! And a good workout! This time was a little hot in 90 degree heat so we just rode for a few hours and then called it a day and trotted off to have some fun at the Castle.
My previous Buyers Agent from Lyon Real Estate, now good friend, seizing a photo opportunity!
I hope you have enjoyed a few of my photos and check back often for my love of traveling and sharing these beautiful moments are a joy for me.

In this study, molecular weight distribution (MWD), of polymers with emphasis on MWD of biopolymers, e.g, carbohydrate polymers, proteins, deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA, and ribonucleic acid, RNA, are reviewed. The MWD of biopolymers are compared with those of synthetic polymers. The constitution of a polymer as well as the MWD may be described either by a set of different average molecular weights, the ratios of two different types of average molecular weights, or by the distribution functions via graphical presentation. Polysaccharides in a similar way to synthetic polymers are polydisperse polymers, whereas proteins, DNA, and RNA, are mostly monodisperse macromolecules.

July 21, 1969: U.S. Astronauts Win the Race to the Moon
Kevin LeVick and Katherine Ross
On April 12, 1961, Soviet astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to fly in space, reinforcing American fears about being left behind in a technological competition with the Soviet Union. In response, U.S. President John F. Kennedy proposes a national goal: "before this decade is out, to land a man on the Moon and return him safely to Earth…"
However, much of the technology needed to get to the lunar surface and return didn't exist at the time of Kennedy's famous 1962 speech. The resulting Apollo Project ran from 1961 to 1972, with the first crewed flight in 1968.
Kennedy's goal was ultimately accomplished on the Apollo 11 mission. Apollo 11 was launched by a Saturn V rocket from Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida, on July 16 at 13:32 UTC, and it was the fifth crewed mission of NASA's Apollo program.
Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent 21 hours and 36 minutes on the lunar surface at a site they named Tranquility Base. While they landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969, they first stepped foot on the Moon on July 21. Armstrong's first step onto the lunar surface was broadcast on live TV to a worldwide audience.
The astronauts returned to Earth and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on July 24 after more than eight days in space.
Apollo 11 effectively ended the Space Race and fulfilled Kennedy's national goal. Five subsequent Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon, the last, Apollo 17, in December 1972. In these six spaceflights, twelve people walked on the Moon.
Apollo set several major human spaceflight milestones. It stands alone in sending crewed missions beyond low Earth orbit.
Overall the Apollo program returned 842 pounds (382 kg) of lunar rocks and soil to Earth, greatly contributing to the understanding of the Moon's composition and geological history.
The U.S. government pumped more than 4% of the federal budget into NASA in the early years of the Apollo program. Today, by comparison, the space agency accounts for about 0.5% of the federal budget.
The project cost $25 billion and employed 400,000 people – many of whom rarely saw their families because they worked so many hours.
Apollo astronauts snapped photos of the Earth from afar that are credited with helping propel the environmental movement in the 1970s.
And, on July 21, 2021, 52 years after the first U.S. astronauts reached the moon, Jeff Bezos, Mark Bezos, Wally Funk, and Oliver Daemen are going to space in Blue Origin's New Shepard.

Are you tired of your kids scrambling around to find a notebook or jacket as they get ready for school? Help your child improve his memory by exposing him to music on a regular basis. Research has shown that listening to music stimulates the brain and improves the child's ability to retain information and learn. This could help them perform better in school, so turn up the tunes while you chauffeur your children around!
Strengthens verbal and communication skills.
A number of studies have shown that music can improve a child's verbal and communication skills. One study introduced children between the ages of 4 and 6 to a month of rhythm, pitch, and melody training. At the end of the month, the children's ability to understand words and their meanings had improved.
Another study looked at one-year-old children who attended music lessons with their parents. The researchers found that these children were able to communicate more clearly and expressed more emotion than children who were not exposed to music. These studies clearly show that music can benefit children of all ages.
Music is so powerful that it can even benefit babies while they are still in the womb! Studies have found that exposing unborn babies to classical music can have an effect on their physical and mental development after birth.
One particular study found that babies who listened to 70 hours of classical music during the last few weeks of pregnancy had better motor and linguistic skills at six months old than babies that were not exposed to music. If you're expecting a child, turn on light classical music towards the end of your pregnancy to help your child's development.
Music can evoke strong emotional reactions in anyone—even children. Research has shown that when children listen to music, they are able to detect different moods and emotions in the lyrics and melodies. This helps them pick up on other people's moods and emotions more easily. Music also allow them to develop a greater awareness of their own feelings. As a result, children may become more compassionate and empathetic towards others after being exposed to music at a young age.
Playing instruments can be beneficial, too.
Listening to music isn't the only way that children can benefit from it—playing instruments helps their development, too. In fact, one study found that children who were involved in music lessons had a better understanding of tough mathematical concepts than other children.
Kids in music lessons also demonstrated more creativity than other children their age. If you child shows an interest in music, encourage him to learn how to play an instrument so he can enjoy these benefits.
Now that you know how music benefits your child, it's time to crank up the volume! As long as the music is age appropriate, meaning it doesn't contain any inappropriate lyrics, it will positively benefit your child's development.

The Furcraea longaeva is a succulent related to Agave and is known in its native Mexico for having a very tall flowering inflorescence – upwards of 12 metres (40 feet)!
We have a number of Furcraea at Earlscliffe. The tallest (and oldest) is about two metres high and has been planted at Earlscliffe for about fifteen years.
In April 2009 it started to flower.
It has flowered in many places outside of its native country. A web search shows that it flowered at RHS Wisley, Surrey, England in 2004, and in North Devon, SW England in 2006 and at the Abbey Gardens on Tresco, Isles of Scilly. However, we are uncertain it has flowered so far north (53.3º) before!
We will continue to photograph it regularly to show how tall the flowering spike grows. Of course, it won't reach 12 metres! However, at its fastest it was growing at a rate of over 12cm (over 4.5 inches) per day!
It now stands at around 6.36 metres tall (nearly 21 feet) and the growth has slowed right down to only 1.43cm (just over half an inch) daily.
¹. The Furcraea was planted around 1994 by David Robinson who identified it as F. longaeva. However, there has been a lot of debate about whether the plants sold as F. longaeva are in fact F. parmentieri (see the RHS Advisory Panel on Nomenclature & Taxonomy – 21 January 2008).
Picture taken 13th April 2009. The plant itself is over two metres tall and the flower is about 30cm.
27th April 2009. Now the spike is around 2m tall, doubling the size of the whole plant.
2nd May 2009. The plant growth seems to have slowed down with the spike at around 2.4m tall. It is now opening up more.
9th May 2009. The plant has grown further and is starting to outwards. The spike is around 3m tall with the overall plant now standing 5m high.
12th May 2009. The spike is now around 3.25m tall, making the whole plant 5.25m. The pole I have been using to measure the spike is about 4 metres long, so I haven't much left to hold on to!
22nd May 2009. The spike has grown again and is now around 3.7m tall, making the whole plant 5.7m. I have now attached a length of wood to the original pole to help measure the plant!
30th May 2009. A bit more growth. Now the spike is 4m tall, making the plant 6m in total. Think I need a longer pole!
9th June 2009. A little more growth. The spike is now 4.26m tall, making the total height of the plant 6.26m. The growth has finally slowed down and is only about an inch a day (2.6cm) (thank goodness as my measuring 'stick' is almost at its limit).
9th June 2009 continued. The drooping inflorescences are where the main activity is happening.
9th June 2009 continued. The individual flowers are starting to appear and the whole plant is starting to take on a more pleasant shape.
16th June 2009. Slowed right own now (thank goodness as I had to get rid of my pole and now have three long bamboos taped together to measure it). The spike is 4.36m with the total plant being 6.36m. It is now at about 1/2 and inch a day (1.43cm).
16th June continued. The plant has a flourish of echium candicans at its base.
16th June continued...with many more flowers to come.

Ben & Jerry's 'Milk With Dignity' Pact With Farmworkers Seems To Be Paying Off
By John Dillon
Will Lambek, left, interprets for Enrique Balcazar, a Migrant Justice activist who helped negotiate the fair labor and living standards agreement with Ben & Jerry's.
Some Vermont dairy workers say their wages and living conditions have improved, thanks to an agreement reached last year between the workers and Ben & Jerry's, a division of global consumer products company Unilever.
Times are tough on dairy farms around the country, with milk prices declining for the fourth year in a row. But 72 farms that supply Ben & Jerry's earn a little more by agreeing to follow labor and housing standards.
Enrique Balcazar is a former dairy farm worker and an activist with the group who helped negotiate an agreement last year called Milk with Dignity.
Speaking through an interpreter, he said the two years of tough negotiation have paid off for farmworkers — and farmers.
"There are farmworkers in the state who, in collaboration with their farmers and with support from the Milk With Dignity Standards Council, are now receiving a day off every week when they previously didn't have one, who are receiving wages to bring their wages up to the Vermont minimum wage," he says.
The standards council administers the program. It can audit farms and respond to worker complaints.
Farms enrolled in the Milk with Dignity program also commit to providing five annual paid sick days, five paid vacation days and to meet housing health and safety standards.
Farmers get a premium for following these standards, but it's not clear how much. Ben & Jerry's says that's confidential. However, Cheryl Pinto, manager of values-led sourcing at Ben & Jerry's, says the premium makes a difference.
"Ben & Jerry's is paying the premium because we recognize a lot of farmers will need some of the financial support to improve housing conditions or to make up for the vacation days that they're going to provide workers," she says.
The ice cream maker gets its milk from the St. Albans Cooperative Creamery, which has about 300 members. The milk from the 72 farmers that participate in the Milk With Dignity program is processed at the St. Albans Co-op. But it's blended in with from milk from farms that do not adhere to the housing or labor standards. Pinto says the milk production from the 72 farms represents the volume of milk that Ben & Jerry's requires.
"If we had to segregate, it opens up a whole other space of work, and this way we were trying to lean in and work with as many as we could, and not have it limited to whoever wanted to be segregated," Pinto says.
The Milk with Dignity program covers all farmworkers whose farms are enrolled — and not just undocumented workers who work on many of Vermont's dairy farms. Pinto says farmers who participate are reluctant to go public with their support because of concerns about immigration enforcement.
Migrant Justice says the program is a model for other dairy processors. The advocates say they're talking to other national brands, but they would not name them.

Not used during game play.
Characters[edit]
Ice Climbers Popo & Nana[edit]
You control one of the Ice Climbers. Player 1 controls the blue male Ice Climber Popo, and player 2 controls the pink female Ice Climber Nana. The climbers' goal is to rise eight stories on each frozen mountain to reach the bonus round near the peak. In the bonus round, they earn the chance to collect the vegetables that were stolen from them by the mountain condor. The wield a hammer that they use to chip away at the ice in the ceiling over their heads, and to smash away any enemies that try to stop them. Popo and Nana have exceptional vertical leaps, but their lateral jump isn't quite as good. In fact, it can be a source of frustration until you get used to it. From a stand still, they barely jump forward a few blocks. To jump horizontally by an appreciable distance, you will need a running start. The Ice Climbers lose one life every time they collide with an enemy or an icicle, or when they fall off the bottom of the screen when they are not yet in a bonus round.
Topi[edit]
In the Japanese version of Ice Climbers, these enemies are seals, while outside of Japan, they are represented by miniature abominable snowmen. Their behavior is the same. They are not actually interested in attacking the climbers directly, but they will kill the climbers if they get in the way. What they are interested in is completing the pathway from one side of the mountain to the other. They will traverse a floor until they come across a gap. If they encounter one, they will double back and reappear on the screen with a new piece of ice. If they succeed at pushing the ice to the gap, the ice will plug the gap and the topi will continue on until it encounters another gap and repeats the cycle. One smack of a hammer to the head sends it reeling.
Nitpicker[edit]
Nitpickers are another nuisance that gets in your way as you climb to the top of the mountain. They come out one at a time and fly around in lazy circles across the screen. They fly on a predetermined path, and will not deviate from it no matter how close the climbers get. So all you must do is steer clear of the Nitpicker's path.
Polar Bear[edit]
The sunglass wearing, pink speedo bearing polar bear that graces the cover art of the game is actually a rare sight in the game. In order to see him, you must not advance the height of the mountain for a very long time. If the camera remains focused on a particular set of levels for too long, the polar bear struts on to the scene from the left, and walks across the screen. When he is roughly half way across, he will jump up and down, and the force of his weight will cause the screen to automatically scroll up. If you are on the bottom level when this happens, you will lose one life.
Condor[edit]
The Condor is the Ice Climbers' ultimate nemesis. He is the one that stole the climbers' vegetables and carried them up to the top of the mountain. He flies above every mountain peak. If you manage to complete the bonus round in under 40 seconds, and make it to the very top of the mountain, jump up and try to wind up between the Condor's claws to receive a large completion bonus before moving on to the next mountain.
Bee[edit]
Only present in the arcade version, Vs. Ice Climber, Bees appear from one side of the screen at whatever level a player happens to be, and flies straight across. Nitpickers will not appear when a Bee is present and vice versa. Other than jumping over them, you only defense is to swat them with your mallet. Unfortunately, you won't be awarded any points for defeating them. Note: In the Famicom Disk System version of the game, Bees are replaced by Nitpickers which fly straight across.
Butterfly[edit]
Also only found in the arcade version, Vs. Ice Climber, Butterflies take the place of the Condor in the second set, or back side, of mountain stages. Aside from having a unique appearance, its behavior is exactly the same as that of the Condor's, and you must jump up to grab the Butterfly's legs in order to properly clear the mountain. Note: In the Famicom Disk System version of the game, the Butterfly is replaced by a blue Condor.
