THE British couple who died during a holiday in Egypt were sleeping next to a room that had been sprayed with a 'farm-strength' bug killer, according to reports.
John, 69, and Susan Cooper, 64, died on August 21 after being taken ill at Thomas Cook's five-star Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hotel in the Red Sea resort of Hurghada.
The Times reports that investigations by the Egyptian authorities will show their neighbouring room had been fumigated the day before their deaths.
The paper reports that Namaa Agricultural and Engineering Services sprayed an adjacent room with lambda-cyhalothrin 5 per cent.
The fumes are feared to have entered their room through the ceiling space after the door of the fumigated room was sealed with tape.
It was at the end of the corridor next to where the Coopers were due to stay.
Speaking to the BBC following their deaths, devastated daughter Kelly, 40, said her parents were "killed by something in the hotel room" and claimed "something smelt funny" when she arrived at their hotel room that morning.
She said the couple were seriously ill and recalled seeing her dad "staggering back to the bed".
It comes as the bodies of John and Susan have been released for repatriation by Egyptian authorities and are due to return to the UK.
Egypt's General Prosecutor released a statement saying the results of the autopsies will be released at a later stage and that the investigation will continue.
The University of Hertfordshire writes it is a "synthetic pyrethroid insecticide which is approved for use in the EU".
They add: "It has a low aqueous solubility, is relatively volatile, is non mobile and, based on chemical properties, there is a low risk of it leaching to ground water.
"Lambda cyhalothrin is highly toxic to mammals and is a known irritant.
"It is also highly toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates and honey bees."
Thomas Cook has already confirmed high levels of E-coli were found in food at the Egypt hotel where the couple died.
The travel giant revealed the results of independent tests conducted at the Steigenberger showed the presence of the food poison bug - as well as bacteria linked to sepsis and deadly toxic shock syndrome.
Experts analysing food and hygiene standards at the resort identified a high level of E-coli and staphylococcus bacteria.
But Thomas Cook insists the results do not shed "any light on the still unexplained cause of death" of the couple from Burnley, Lancs.
Thomas Cook said: "Neither our independent specialists nor Dr Vanya Gant believe that these results shed any light on the still unexplained cause of death of Mr and Mrs Cooper.
The company's chief executive Peter Fankhauser added: "These results, while not establishing the cause of the tragic deaths of John and Susan Cooper, have prompted us to commit further resource to tackle hygiene standards in those hotels where we identify a higher than average level of sickness."

4. If you could live anywhere in the world and money was no object where would you live and why?
We are so blessed to live 20 minutes from both sets of grandparents and my only sister. If we moved, I would want to stay in this area. Maybe move down a long lane with no neighbors in sight where my husband could have his dream shop and I could have a greenhouse.
5. Who was your celebrity teen crush?
Ooh…Jared Leto from the TV show My So Called Life…I was so disappointed when it ended. Also, Christian Slater in the movie Gleaming the Cube…so mysterious and that voice!

11. If time travel existed and you could change an event in your past what would it be?
When I was 18, my 16 year old sister was killed in a tragic car accident. If I could change the results of any day in my past, she would still be here.
1. What is your favorite piece of art in your home?
We recovered the fireplace wall in our living room with a mosaic of old doors and it turned out to be an artpiece in itself.

Trident Mint Bliss…a delicious combination of mint and vanilla.

6. What are your favorite colors to wear? What are your favorite colors to decorate with? Are they the same as your general favorite colors?

London Reconnections)
extract :
With the Mayor's proposal for Oxford Street in tatters thanks to a decision by Westminster Council, there is the outstanding issue of what is going to happen in December when Bond Street station gets much busier. The Mayor has described Westminster's decision not to go ahead with the scheme as a betrayal. It has certainly put a major dent in his 'Healthy Streets' policy.
What appears to be the case now is that Westminster Council wants funds from TfL to fund a further study. TfL, not surprisingly, take the attitude that a study has already been done and paid for by TfL, so another study is not needed. It is unclear as to whether there will be some compromise arrangements implemented before December, or whether this will become the ultimate political football between Westminster and the Mayor (except that there is another contender).
The TfL board Programmes and Investment Committee have requested an update about Oxford Street for their next meeting so the situation should then become clearer.
CS11 cycle superhighway
To some extent the delays and problems with the Underground and London Overground are less fundamental to the current Mayor's Transport Strategy than they were to previous mayors, as Sadiq Khan is placing a lot of emphasis on healthier streets. That is why, in many ways, the failure to pedestrianise Oxford Street is probably a bigger blow to his strategy than many might think.
CS11 is arguably one of the more imaginative cycle superhighways. It utilises Regents Park in an endeavour to make it a truly pleasant cycling route. Critical to it is a changed, cycle-friendly remodelling of Swiss Cottage junction. The scheme also involves more segregation than a lot of the earlier schemes.
Not surprisingly this scheme has not gone down at all well with various sections of the community, with Swiss Cottage Junction being the future battleground.
Raising its ugly head in a similar way is a judicial challenge to Cycle Highway CS11. Not entirely surprisingly, this comes from TfL's 'frenemy' – Westminster Council. This despite the fact that the critical part of the scheme, Swiss Cottage, does not lie within the City of Westminster.
The City of Westminster seems to have grasped that they have to select their grounds for a judicial review very carefully and have chosen to do it on the basis of making air quality worse. It does seem quite incredible that a proposal to encourage people to use their bikes more should be opposed on the grounds of causing the air quality to deteriorate. No doubt, in the short term, Westminster could have a case, but the argument for the long term will include such hypotheticals as the take-up of electric vehicles, the effect of the Mayor's plan for an Ultra Low Emission Zone, removal of congestion charge exemptions for private hire vehicles and other factors difficult to quantify. In addition Westminster has to show not merely that they think it is a bad decision but that the Mayor could not reasonably have made such a decision.
What is also not known is the extent to which reduction of injuries and fatalities is a legitimate factor in the Swiss Cottage proposals. One suspects road safety trumps an alleged deterioration in air quality but maybe a judge would have to decide on that point.
Whatever happens, if this goes to court, London Reconnections hopes to have another fascinating day at the Royal Courts of Justice.
In Context
Although the TfL schemes mentioned seem to be having their problems, they need to be put in some kind of context. If the Elizabeth line opens on time on the 9th December 2018, even if some of the stations are in a bit of an unfinished state, then these delays elsewhere will be almost insignificant in the bigger scheme of things. The TfL transport estate is wide, varied and complex. The challenges they currently face – particularly in terms of finance – are great. In that regard, that many of the projects here are still progressing, albeit with issues, is a significant achievement in itself. That doesn't mean those issues shouldn't be highlighted, however – particularly with regards to the GOBLIN, which has the genuine potential to fall foul of the same logistical issues that have plagued Thameslink, albeit on a smaller scale.
It also needs to be borne in mind that the Mayor's Transport Strategy has significant elements to do with healthier living and air quality. These are subjects that we have hardly touched on, yet a lot of preparatory work in these areas is taking place in the background. With another Mayor we may have had headlines about issues concerning railway improvements striking at the heart of the Mayor's Transport Strategy. With the current Mayor, this is still important, but some of the focus is elsewhere and the implementation of his Transport Policy needs to be seen against its broader context.

Dug this out from the depths of the voide. Going to flog it as yet anuther thing I do not need. Any intorests befor I shot it on ebay. £30 I was thinking. a few gun bits mising as seen in t pic. Shame ther ant a musium for old relics like this.
Got one of those myself complete with all the metal parts too. Also has the optional Shadowsword upper hull piece.
Yes I youst to have that bit to but god nows were it went to. When you moove 3 times in under a year You tend to loose bits hear and ther. Had A eldar phantom titan as well but that was sold to a colector who beged me for it till I gave up to the sound of £££.
How much did you sell the Phantom for?

Forget expensive skincare products or worse – Botox – you can make your skin appear younger with a few easy makeup tips and tricks to help hide the years.
Redness, blemishes and dark circles can age your skin. By hiding these imperfections with concealer that matches your skin colour, you will instantly look younger and fresh. However, avoid applying too close to your lash line since the concealer could settle in the fine lines around your eyes.
Your natural glow diminishes as you age, and you may be tempted to compensate for that lost glow with powder. Unfortunately, even non-greasy and lightweight powder can become embedded into fine lines, exaggerating wrinkles. Plus, powder can cause the skin to look dull and cakey. Instead, use a tinted moisturiser to even out your skin tone. This will allow your natural skin tone to shine through without that unwanted greasy feeling.
One of the positive aspects of ageing is that women generally lose fat in their face, accentuating their beautiful bone structure. Highlight your cheekbones by applying contouring makeup over and underneath your cheekbones, finishing with a pop of blush on the apples of the cheeks for a radiant glow.
You may have loved heavy eye makeup in your 20's, but anything too dramatic now will accentuate your under eye circles and make you look tired. All you need is a slight swipe of a eyeliner on the outside of your lower and upper lash line in a softer colour than black. Finish with a brush of taupe or pale gold eyeshadow across the lid and you're set.
As you age, you lose moisture all over your skin, including your lips. Cracked and chapped lips make you look older. Always wear a lip balm with a low-gloss sheen to keep your lips dewy and fresh, then apply your lipstick or lip gloss. The lip balm will moisturise the fine lines around your lips, and keep your lip colour looking soft and natural.
What are your best anti-ageing makeup tips?

View Full Version : How to insert a Progress Bar inside a Grid Cell?
I want to insert a progress bar inside a grid cell, I tried with the following Code and I am able to see the Progress Bar. But, it is a static bar and it is not showing me any progress as it shows when I ran it outside the grid.
Let me know what is wrong in my Code.
I tried to run the sample code given in http://skirtlesden.com/ux/component-column.
But, I am unable to do so. Is there any dependency for any plugin?
You'll need the JS files for CTemplate and Component Column but that's it.
What problem are you seeing? Which browser and which ExtJS version? If you can't get it to work post your code and I'll take a look. Please use [CODE] tags when posting code.

Comment. Going forward, an asset buyer that suspects that a seller has a potential multiemployer pension plan withdrawal plan liability should get expertise to assess the risk. In this case, a potential liability that is 2.5 times the purchase price would require the buyer to reassess the deal and consider what changes to the deal, if any, could save it.


As I sit here on a Sunday morning listening to my pups quiet snores, I wonder if they are dreaming of our future adventures that are awaiting us in our new Tumbleweed Tiny House. We have named her Tootling Tranquility. Are my pups dreaming of swimming in a ocean they have never seen? Or perhaps in a land locked Colorado lake, where we are currently staying? Maybe the dreams are hiking in the high desert mountain air running into a Moose on the trail? Or maybe, they are dreaming of the majestic beauty of Alaska? Our journey all starts tomorrow, when we hit the road to pick up our Tumbleweed Tiny House, who we have named Tootling Tranquility. My mother passed 2 years ago. Tootling was a favorite activity that we both loved. In memory of my mom who also passed on the great love and spirit of tootling to me, it seemed appropriate to name my new house Tootling Tranquility.
Meaning of Tootling: go or travel in a leisurely way.
Miss you Mom but your spirit is here within me always!
We are a bit nervous and out of our comfort zone but we have really been this way for years now. I have planned for this time for a year now. We Got this! I know we do!
Our new journey includes working on our website and blog (which is also out of my comfort zone). We have a lot of learning to do. Please join us on our journeys that will be filled with video's and photos and detail our journey when we have internet to upload.

Greek Philosophers
Answers to Popular Questions about Plato
by World History Edu · Published May 20, 2019 · Updated December 7, 2021
The Greek philosopher Plato was born in either 428 or 427 BCE in ancient Athens. Plato was a devout student of Socrates (c. 470-399 BCE). By taking a philosophical approach (the "Socratic Position"), he ended up becoming the crucial link between Socrates' philosophies and the world. This is because Socrates himself never wrote down his brilliant thoughts and concepts. Most of the writing was done by Plato.
With masterpiece writings and dialogues such as the Republic, the Apology and the Sympossium, Plato went on to achieve tremendous influence in academics and philosophy. One of his prodigies, a Chalcidice-born philosopher called Aristotle (384-322 BCE) took up the mantle after Plato's passing and accomplished equally amazing things in philosophy and natural science.
Furthermore, the Academy he established in c. 387 BCE in Athens is just one of the numerous great works chalked by Plato. The reasoning process and ideas in about 36 works of Plato have remained unrivaled by anyone for millennia.
In the text below, we shed light on the life of this genius as well as the incomparable works of ancient Greece's philosophical titan Plato.
When was Plato born?
Historians peg the date of Plato's birth to either 428 or 427 BCE. He grew up in a wealthy and very influential family in Athens, Greece. At the time of Plato's birth, Greece was just coming out of the Golden Age. This age was filled with great thinkers such as the Athenian Pericles (c. 495 – 429) and Pythagoras (c. 580- c. 500 BCE). Therefore, most of Plato's childhood influences must have come from the writings and works of those thinkers. Besides, the wealth and status of Plato's family enabled him to be tutored by a number of very good philosophers and mathematicians.
Another likely factor that shaped Plato's upbringing came from the Peloponnesian War. It was a huge influence on the budding mind of one of history's greatest thinkers. The Peloponnesian War raged on while Plato was still at a tender age. Plato also witnessed Greece's final defeat at the hands of Sparta. Some philosophers and historians claim that Plato may have been a soldier during this war.
What was Plato's real name?
Expert philosophers and historians believe that Plato's real name was Aristocles, son of Ariston, of the deme Collytus. It was customary for male children to be named after their grandfather. According to Diogenes, he got the name "Plato" from one of his gymnastic tutors called Ariston of Argos. Ariston gave him the name due to Plato's muscular and hardy looks. The word "Plato" translates into "platus" in ancient Greek, this, in turn, means "broad" or "wide" or "rugged".
How was Plato's early life like?
Plato's parents were Ariston of Athens and Perictione. Historical writings show that he had about four siblings: three brothers and one sister – Antiphon, Glaucon, Adeimantus and Potone. It was not uncommon to find names of family and friends in Plato's dialogues and writings. For example, the Republic contains the names of Adeimantus and Glaucon. Similarly, the Parmenides has Antiphon's name in it.
Plato's family were very high standing Greek aristocrats in every sense of the word. Some family members even went on to claim that they were descendants of famous Greek gods and goddesses. One of these claims came from Plato's father, Ariston of Athens. The Aristons hailed from a very reputable ancestry line back to Codrus, a renowned ancient Athenian king. Legend has it that Codrus came from the line of the Greek sea god Poseidon himself. This placed the Aristons right up there in Athens ruling class.
Regarding Plato's mother, Perictione, her family (the Critias) were also very famous. She was related to the famous lawyer and poet, Solon. The other members of her family either made waves in law or politics in Athens. Solon, along with other members of the Critias and the Charmides, even became tyrannical figures in ancient Greece. They formed what was called the Thirty Tyrants. Their reign in Athens ended around the year 403 BCE.
Plato lost his father, Ariston of Athens, at a very tender age. His mother Perictione then remarried Pyrilampes. With this void in his heart, Plato started to search for something far greater than the physical world and the plush life of his family. Also, historians believe that Plato did not bring forth any child. A great number of them go as far as claiming that Plato did not even get married.
As he grew up, Plato joined the group that interacted with Socrates. He felt way more comfortable in the midst of intellectually charged people like Socrates. The lives that these people lived were in sharp contrast to the one that Plato grew up in. Socrates' circle was one devoid of shallow reasoning and uncontrolled emotions.
15 Most Influential Leaders from Ancient Greece
How did Plato meet and interact with Socrates?
Plato's beginnings in philosophy went into full gear when he met Socrates. Prior to the meeting, Plato dabbled in a few concepts and theories about the environment. As a teen, he got to meet and understudy with several teachers and coaches. His family certainly could afford all of these for Plato.
Undoubtedly, the greatest of his teachers was his role model, Socrates. Plato fast became a crucial member of Socrates' group that challenged Greeks of all walks of life to search within their souls in order to recollect the true forms of this life. The world today owes a lot to these two great philosophers meeting and interacting with each other. Without the words and thoughts that Plato put into writing, the world would not have known anything about the philosophies and wisdom of Socrates. Collectively, Plato's writings about the dialogues he had with Socrates have come to be known as the 'Socratic' philosophy.
Plato personally witnessed resentment and anger gradually grow against Socrates and his followers. Socrates' thirst for an inquiry into the unknown and questioning of one's own ideas became a nuisance to some section of ancient Greece. The so-called experts in their field became wary simply because Socrates took to questioning their stands and views of life. Ultimately, this and many more factors culminated in the execution of Socrates in 399 BCE. He was charged with corrupting the society, particularly the youth of Athens.
The death of Socrates gravely affected Plato. Due to the close contact Plato had with his tutor Socrates, distinguishing between Plato's ideas and that of Socrates can be quite difficult. However, what is vividly clear is that Socrates' ideas served as the foundation for Plato to build upon.
Which countries did Plato travel to?
Although not with enough historical pieces of evidence, some historians are of the view that Plato embarked on several adventures around Greece, Italy, and Egypt. Accounts of such trips claim that Plato started penning down most of his thoughts during this period.
In the first place, Plato's travel around the Mediterranean may have been triggered by the execution of his dear friend and mentor, Socrates. He must have used this as an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the world around him. It is said that he spent about 12 years abroad and studied a wide array of subjects while in foreign lands.
What are some of Plato's best-known works?
The entire history of western philosophy, as well as what holds the various parts of it together, is deeply entrenched in Plato's works. It is for this reason why up to this day, Plato continues to be admired across the world. He is famed to have laid the foundation and introduced structures that are crucial to any critical thinking and self-analysis of one's mind and thought process.
It is estimated that Plato had about 36 major scholarly and philosophical works. Many historians and philosophers categorize these works into three: early, middle, and late dialogues. Together, they form what we call the "Socratic works". Examples of such works are the Republic, the Meno, the Apology, the Symposium, and the Laws.
Plato's most famous work certainly has to be the Republic. The Republic's chief guiding principle (form) is justice. The characters in the dialogue discuss the constituents of justice as well as its relationship to happiness. In this brilliant piece of writing, Plato's characters in the dialogue come to a conclusion that a society should be governed by a ruler vexed in the ins and outs of philosophy. According to Plato, a ruler that conforms to a higher set of ethical codes (forms) will bode well for the society in general.
Thus, for any society to become happy and fulfilled (a state of Eudaimonia), kings must eat and breathe philosophy. Alternatively, the right to rule should be reserved for only philosophers, Plato proclaimed.
Why did Plato prefer putting his messages in dialogues?
It must be noted that most of Plato's works were written in dialogues. It was reminiscent of the conversations he had with his tutor Socrates, as well as other great minds. As a result of this, Plato's works are generally called the dialogues. By putting his ideas and thoughts in a dialogue format, Plato avoided dictating to people how they should live their lives.
The above makes a great deal of sense because doing so in any other writing style would have defeated the number one principle of a Socratic analysis- every one of us is entitled to seek out the truth and subject the ideas of others, as well as ours, to critical analysis. At the core of the discussions in his dialogues, the characters asked one another several questions in order to fully comprehend a subject in life or a concept.
The goal was not to arrive at a conclusive fact or put up clean-cut dogmas. Rather, the essence of philosophy is to gain greater understanding and wisdom of the world that we perceive. As a matter of fact, when the Greek word Philosophia gets translated into English, it means "Love of wisdom".
Plato, therefore, cherished the wisdom that comes to fore whenever notions and viewpoints get put under our intellectual microscope for in-depth analysis. More often than not, we come to attain this wisdom after years and years of hard work, says Plato. He also stated that in some cases, a life time is certainly too short a period to realize this wisdom.
Along the way, Plato advocated that we make several contacts with people that share in this passion of truth seeking and finding. This, he believed, was way more beneficial than reading or perusing writings of others. Regardless, Plato never condemned the usage of writings in our quest to seek the truth. Clearly, there is a utility in reading the writings of others because they transcend time and geographical boundaries.
How were the dialogues in Plato's works written?
Throughout Plato's endeavors, he realized that a tar bit of humor engaged people's senses in a better way. With small doses of humor, people tend to be more receptive to criticisms of their ideas and philosophies. Hence, Plato was known to sprinkle some humor across most of his dialogues and lectures.
Another approach that he used was to charge up the atmosphere where the conversation took place. According to him, the pursuit of life's true forms occurs when our souls are charged up intellectually.
In the Republic, for example, Plato maintained that harmonization in our souls is a precursor for true happiness and virtue. He reasoned that the three parts of the soul that require alignment are: Reason, Spirit, and Appetite. The reason component in our soul constantly searches for truth and the good beyond this material world. The spirit, on the other hand, is more concerned with maintaining honor and strong values in our lives. Finally, the Appetite in all of us seeks for the low-level physiological items such as food, drink, shelter, and sex.
At every point in time, these three aspects of our souls tug and pull us in different directions to gain ultimate control over us, Plato argued. Therefore, balancing the demands of the soul is in by no means an easy task. It often requires something more than cognitive excellence. It demands the proper functioning of each component of the soul, he stated.
For his usage of the intellectually charged atmosphere in the dialogues, Plato cemented his claim as being one of the best writers that captures exactly what transpires in a conversation. Although the conversations in his dialogues evolved around his mentor Socrates, it included a host of other interactions among family, friends and even non-philosophers. His characterization of the actors in the dialogue helped to steer the message in a manner that benefits the reader the most.
Another very peculiar thing about the dialogues is that Plato himself never featured in the conversation. By doing this, he guarded against recommending an ideal path that should be followed by the reader. The suggestions that come from the characters in the dialogue are meant to serve as a guide to one's effort in his or her philosophical progression in life. They don't contain answers to our quest or problems; rather they suggest possible means of attaining life's ultimate truth. Once the truth and forms are applied in a very rational manner, Plato predicts that society as a whole begins to get happier.
What are some examples of the FORMS that Plato famously discussed in his dialogues?
One thing that featured prominently whenever Plato spoke or expressed his ideas was the term "Logos". The 'Logos' is an all-encompassing truth that influences our world of forms. According to Plato, the forms of our reality are bulk idealistic concepts such as justice, courage, truth, bravery, and beauty. The happiness that we seek in life often lies in aligning our whole being to those forms.
Ancient Greek philosophers stated that we derive greater happiness when we collectively develop as a society. They described this as "human flourishing". And in order for this to happen, we as a society need to live a good life- a life that is immersed in the "Logos" (the ultimate truth and Form).
Similarly, Platonic philosophy teaches us that our virtues lay in things and concepts that allow us to live good lives. This explanation bridges the gap between happiness and virtue. In the mind of Plato, a virtuous man becomes happy when his virtues are obtained through critical thinking.
Another point worth noting is that Plato chastised virtues that solely came from perceiving the world with our five senses. He described virtues or happiness that came from our senses as sub-virtues or shallow truths. The real truth (the 'Logos') always comes from the soul (the intellectual mind), he declared. Such truths, in his opinion, are free from emotions and biases.
The Socratic position, which Plato admired so dearly, posits that every character and behavior should be bound by a special kind of knowledge. And this knowledge should be realized only through cognition and intellectual introspection. This was evident in Plato's criticism of the ancient Sophist Protagoras (c. 485- 415 BCE) in his dialogues: the Protagoras and Theatetus. Plato's biggest peeves with the Sophists (subjective philosophers) of ancient Greece was their subjective portrayal and analysis of reality.
How was the setting like at Plato's Academy?
The Academy was arguably the first western university-like institution. Plato founded this institution slightly outside Athens in 387 BCE. He was around 40 years when founded this school. Around the vicinity of this school was a grove of olive trees. It was situated right atop one of the worship places of the Greek goddess Athena. This made the area very sacred to people living there.
The Academy did not only educate people in science and mathematics, but it also covered a vast range of issues from aesthetics, political and economic philosophy, theology, cosmology, poetry, epistemology to the philosophy of language. It was devoted to the overall education of people in critical reasoning by challenging them to interrogate the views they held about the physical world. Plato's greatest suit wasn't in Mathematics. However, he greatly appreciated and encouraged the teaching of the subject at the Academy. In most cases, he spoke at length and very favorable about it. Some of its famous alumni included Eudoxus of Cnidus (c. 395- c. 342 BCE) and Theaetetus (417-369 BCE).
Another very influential member of the Academy was the renowned great philosopher and mathematician, Aristotle. Aristotle spent close to 20 years walking the halls of Plato's Academy. The structure and principles of the Academy ended up influencing Aristotle's school, the Lyceum.
Aristotle broke away from the Plato's Academy to set up his own school because Plato did not pick him as his successor. Plato and Aristotle did not always agree in the manner in which the world around them worked. Plato was an idealist, that is, he reasoned that the ultimate reality of things can be found in the good or the logos. He once proclaimed during a lecture that "the Good is One". However, Aristotle sort of strayed away from this angle. He believed that the things we observed and analyzed had greater value than the categories in which they belonged.
What did Plato believe in?
At the center of Plato's beliefs was the world of 'Forms'. He reasoned that a great number of people did not strive to bring their physical world in alignment with the world of forms. By 'Forms', he referred to things such as justice, truth, bravery, beauty, and courage. And how did one come to access these higher values and forms? Plato believed that the individual had to be brave and desist from using his/her senses. For it is only through the power of the mind that he or she could access those forms.
Plato described the physical world that we live in as transient and not a true representation of life itself. The above-mentioned forms were the realest components of realities.
The 'Logos' and the Good in Metaphysics
Logical and systematic reasoning is required to explore these forms. At the heart of those forms was the 'Logos' (the truth or the Good). The Logos are what give rise to these forms that every citizen must attain to have. A society that fails to get in touch with this reason is bound to plunge into utter chaos Plato reasoned.
Harmony in one's soul
How does one become emotionally healthy? Where do good ethics and sound moral judgement come from? These and many more other questions preoccupied the mind of Plato.
Plato believed that an individual must at all times overcome his or her reliance on knowledge of the physical world. He claimed that those kinds of knowledge do not auger well for the emotional well-being of the individual. True happiness, he opined, came from developing idealistic and healthy emotional responses to one's environment. We must at all times harmonize reason, spirit, and desires in order to attain a strong moral well-being.
Was Plato a religious man?
This question does not have a yes or no answer. Flowing from his discussions about the philosophy of religion in the Laws and the Euthyphro, one could say that Plato did believe in a higher power. Power is far greater than the pale shadow of the things we call reality. Perhaps in the mind of Plato, this power can be termed as God (the "Logos").
His description of the world of forms that exist outside the "cave" of our bondage elevates him from the deeply religious ancient Greek. Those people accepted religious doctrines and ideas of the forefathers without questioning them. Those ideas may look beautiful and just, however, they are in no way close to real forms begot to mankind by the Logos.
Plato's explanation of the devil and evil ran contrary to existing religious theories of his time. Plato argued that one falls into the whims and caprices of evil acts because he or she is ignorant or has forgotten about the Good (the forms). However, we can come out of that evil pit or cave by bravely pursuing the just and true forms of reality. Every human being has this forms in him or her, it is only a matter of remembering them.
How did Plato die?
First of all, the year of his death varies. Depending on which year you agree Plato was born, the year of his death can either be 348 BCE or 347 BCE. If you accept the historical account that he was born on 428 BCE, then Plato died in 348 BCE. However, a birth year of 427 BCE places his year of death at around 347 BCE.
Whatever the case may be, it is believed that Plato lived right up until a ripe age of 80 years. The settings surrounding his death are a bit murky and have been lost as the centuries have rolled by. It is likely that he simply passed away in his sleep.
What legacy did Plato leave behind?
Ask any philosopher today and he or she will tell you that Plato's works are not answers per se to our problems in life. They are a road map to self-discovery and self-improvement. Ultimately, a self-actualized person with strong core and values breeds a better and more just society. This is what Plato will most famously be remembered for. His reliance on a unique and upper kind of knowledge is what made his ideas reverberate around the world. With unbiased lenses, Plato developed the ability to properly examine his life and made it worth living.
In addition to his various works in philosophy and critical reasoning, Plato made immense contributions to science and mathematics, societal ethics, metaphysics, and cosmology. He believed that all sorts of human disciplines are in a constant movement to attain the ultimate perfection and form (the Good).
Any subject that heightened the intellectual part of the human being was something that Plato loved talking about. The piece of advice that we can take from him is that every subject or human endeavor of us should be exposed to Socratic analysis. It is only through this that we get to move from this physical realm into the realm of the Good and the Truth.
These and many more other beliefs of Plato became the foundation of western philosophy. And even millennia after his death (died in Athens in 347 BCE), his works continue to be studied all over the world today.
What are some specific examples of philosophers that Plato influenced?
Aside from him being the undisputed patron of western philosophy, Plato's works went on to influence: Aristotle (384-322 BCE), Justin Martyr (c. 100 -c. 165 CE), Plotinus (c. 204 – 270 CE), Anselm (c. 1033 – 1109 CE), and Al Farabi (870-950 CE). Examples of some more recent ones are Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), Fredrik Nietzsch (1844 – 1900), Martin Heidegger (1889 – 1976) and Hannah Arendt (1906 – 1975).

Come See Us in Historic Twelve Points
Often remembered as one of Terre Haute's first suburban shopping areas, Twelve Points is named after the four points at each of the three intersections created by Lafayette Avenue, Maple Avenue, and 13th Street. Most of the iconic buildings of the District were constructed in the early 1900s with the still-visible influence of NeoClassical Revival architecture. The storied heyday of this area enjoyed the flourishing success of the electric streetcar and railways. The interurban line was the main connector between downtown Terre Haute and Clinton. Once in 12 Points, a person could take the free transfer on the city street car to travel almost anywhere in Terre Haute. With the decline of manufacturing jobs in this area and the construction of Highway 41, commerce at Twelve Points declined and remained dormant for several decades. Today, the Twelve Points District is gaining momentum thanks to small business owners and local investors with an appreciation for its history and a plan for its future. If you are reading this, you are an important part of that revitalization. Thank You for supporting Twelve Points and Great Giorno.

You are here: Home / BlackBerry / An MP3 Player for BlackBerry… It's kind of cool, I guess
An MP3 Player for BlackBerry… It's kind of cool, I guess
August 1, 2006 by Robb Dunewood 10 Comments
Mobile software developer Virtual Views has just released BerryTunes, the first MP3 Player for the BlackBerry.
When I first read about BerryTunes on BBHub my first thought was "Finally, I can listen to music on my BlackBerry." My second thought was, however, "Now that I can listen to music on my BlackBerry, will I really want to?"
Although I applaud the effort of Virtual Views to come out with a way to transfer MP3s to my BlackBerry, albeit only 12 MB or an hour's worth of songs. Listening to music via the speakerphone just doesn't sound all that appealing.
The limited memory and the audio quality of the speaker phone just don't pass the bar. If you stroll through the electronics department of your neighborhood Wal-Mart you can find two or three MP3 players under $30 with 256 MB to 1 GB of storage that will play hundreds of hours of music through stereo headphones. These MP3 players are quite small as well so carrying them in addition to your BlackBerry isn't really an issue.
Having the ability to play MP3s from your BlackBerry is kind of cool. Actually playing MP3s from your BlackBerry… Not so much. Not until a BlackBerry designed for MP3 playback comes out, that is…

I just got the Blackberry Pearl. It has a built-in MP3 player (it also plays ACC/M4A files), so there is no need for any additional software! It also supports stereo headphones. I picked up an inexpensive stereo headset from Plantronics that allows me to easily switch between talking on the phone and listening to MP3 in full, great sounding stereo! I also added a 2GB media card (MicroSD), so I can fit 400-500 songs on it. I have an 80GB iPod, but now I just leave it in the car and use my phone to listen to music while walking around. The Pearl is so much cooler than my previous 7100 series — GREAT JOB, R.I.M.!
I agree with Dave H. I tried an adapter to hook a standard set of headphones to my Perl and it didn't work, just kept activating the speech command feature. Stopped at a T-Mobile store and got a set of the free stereo headphones that were suppoed to come with the phone and it sound great. Only complaint I have is the poor media player that is built into the blackberry. Can only play one file or one folder at a time. Cannot select a root director to play all of your music files. Unfortunately, I cannot justify spending money on any third party media player and end up not liking it.
Rick says
Do you know how I can connect my Blackberry Pearl to my receiver to play my downloaded songs through the stereo?
sleepingbeauty7291 says
I'm so not figuring this out… I got some music from iTunes and moved them to my blackberry pearl using the media manager. They are there on the phone, but it just doesn't play… what am I doing wrong?
I don't think you can play iTunes on anything but Apple stuff.
correct the apple file format is it's own, it is not MP3 which is needed for the blackberry. I am only disappointed in the fact the it will only play one song at a time as well.
Mark S. says
Same as the other Mark: it's too bad the player only plays one song at a time (unless you put it in shuffle mode then it plays all the songs in any/all the albums but not one whole album in a row!). I use it for the streaming radio for kicks and use flipside for actually listening well to MP3s on my 8310.

still a great program… 🙂

you can sync some stuff from Itunes to your bberry but alot of it has restrictions on it Iwas only able to sync about 1 third of my songs to my three g curve.

'The Bachelorette' Recap: Tayshia's Men Head to Fantasy Suites
SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you have not yet watched the Dec. 21 episode of "The Bachelorette."
Last week, Tayshia Adam's goodbye with contestant Ben Smith was less than satisfying. Disappointed at his lack of emotion, the titular Bachelorette sent him packing, leaving Brendan Morais, Zac Clark and Ivan Hall as her final three. All three headed to fantasy suites — the first real moment of potential privacy during an overnight date.
While Tayshia was still "riding the high" from hometown week, she revealed reservations going into fantasy suites to former Bachelorette (and fill-in host) JoJo Fletcher.
Meanwhile, host Chris Harrison filled in the men about the "more serious, more emotional, more intimate" week ahead. Ivan went first, leaving the other men reflecting on their own relationships.
"Hearing the other guys talk about where they're at… I think I'm just in a different spot. There's just been nothing to this point that has made me question what we have. And I trust that," Zac said.
Ivan greeted Tayshia for their date, where they would spend the afternoon breaking a world record. The two settled into an ice bath and began smooching for six minutes and 35 seconds to become the titleholder for the "World's Longest, Coldest Kiss."
Going into the night portion of the date, the two settled into dinner and reflected on their relationship. Tayshia declared him as her "rock" and said that he was someone she felt comfortable being vulnerable with. Ivan expressed that he was falling in love with her before accepting an invite to the overnight date.
The two spent the night in an airstream and came out the next morning with clarity on their relationship. After talking through the night, they were able to have "silly" conversations, but also connect on religion, their future goals and plans. "I feel like we just would have a really good life," Tayshia said.
After Ivan's return, Brendan expressed his discomfort with the situation, and Ivan echoed. "This is just the weirdest dynamic [between the men]."
Zac's date consisted of a painting party, where the couple stripped down and rolled around in paint to cover a blank canvas. They laid in their masterpiece and day-dreamed about their future before they headed into their night portion.
Going into the night, Zac's primary objective was to tell Tayshia how he felt. He expressed to her that he had been lying to himself, saying he didn't want kids and that he wanted to be the "cool uncle." But time on the show and putting his life on hold changed his perspective.
"I know that I'll be a good dad. I know that I'll be a good husband," he said.
He concluded his sentiments by telling Tayshia he loved her, which she reciprocated.
They left dinner for their fantasy suite, where they stayed until the next morning. Zac (who has consistently the most vocal in his affection for Tayshia) confirmed his feelings post-overnight.
Brendan had been the most vocal about his commitment concerns going into fantasy suites. After his divorce, he shared the pressure of only getting engaged/married one more time.
"Going into today, I have certain nerves and feel a little anxious… preparing myself to be ready for that next step in life and that next engagement, next marriage, is a concern of mine," he said. "Just hearing Ivan and Zac, knowing how they felt about their dates and their overnights and how great they left that moment, it definitely puts a little pressure on me."
Meanwhile, Tayshia shared her unwavering confidence in her feelings: "After our first one-on-one, I was like, 'Brendan's it.'"
The pressure was on during their date when Tayshia brought Brendan to Neil Lane — the franchise's official jeweler. Brendan was a good sport, but appeared physically panicked as Neil went through bracelets and rings. His fear spilled over into their dinner date.
"Today definitely reinforced the gravity of that moment [proposal]," he said. "Giving someone that engagement ring is giving them eternity with you. This is a forever moment. I don't take that lightly."
"I thought I was ready. I knew I was ready in my own mind," he continued. "But knowing you're ready because you want something so bad… I want a wife and kids and a family more than anything on the face of this earth. But then coming to the realization that there's a big part of me that's still broken. There's a big part of me that still needs time to heal."
Tayshia listened quietly and told him that even though she'd love to be with him at the end of this, she understood. While she was hurt, she wasn't going to force him or beg for his love. He left the property.
Post-Fantasy Suites
As Tayshia processed her Brendan elimination the next day, she confided in former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay. In addition to being disappointed about Brendan, she expressed remorse for her relationship with Ben, noting that their goodbye felt off.
Ben seemingly felt the same, as he arrived at Harrison's doorstep to ask for a chance to see Tayshia. After being eliminated, he also felt that their goodbye was "not like the relationship" and that he wanted to tell Tayshia he loved her.
"I'm in love with Tayshia and I need to tell her," he said. "In the moment of the breakup, I didn't feel it appropriate to be like 'Oh, by the way, I also love you.' Or like 'Please don't dump me because I love you.'" He worried that not articulating his feelings was received as not having them and wanted to resolve the breakup.
So, while the other two men were preparing for the rose ceremony, Ben arrived at Tayshia's doorstep. This was the second time Ben came to her door and asked for time — the first was after a group date during which she accused him of not stepping up. While her immediate reaction was cold, she invited him in and listened to what he had to say.
He tried to justify his coldness during their breakup as shutting down in shock. He admitted that he loved her, and apologized for not telling her earlier.
"I see a life with you," he told her. She listened but stepped away to collect herself.
"There's a rose ceremony… what do I do with that?" she asked a producer.
"The Bachelorette" finale airs Tuesday, Dec. 22 at 8 p.m. on ABC.


When it comes to plumbing problems, clogged toilets are the worst, especially when you're dealing with a bowl full of solid waste. Luckily, most toilets will let you know when they're about to have a major clog issue. Take a look at the list below. If you're experiencing any of the symptoms described there, it's time to call your plumber for some backup assistance.
After you've flushed your toilets enough times, you become familiar with the sounds they make. Most toilet sounds aren't anything to be worried about. One sound that you should be concerned with is gurgling. If any of your toilets are making a gurgling sound when you flush, you've got a clog problem brewing. That sound is raw sewage trying to make it past built-up debris and waste. If you hear gurgling when you flush, call your plumber.
When you flush one toilet, the other toilets in your house should not be affected. If they are, you've got a problem lurking in your drains. This is particularly true if you're dealing with backups between your toilets. If you think you've got a problem with your toilet, give it a flush. If the water level raises in your other toilets, there's a clog in the line that connects them. If you don't get that problem repaired quickly, you'll be looking at multiple overflowing toilets.
If your toilets are bubbling when you flush, it's time to look a little further. Bubbling when you flush is a good indication that you're going to be dealing with a serious clog in the very near future. Now's the time to find out how far-reaching the clog problem is. Fill your tub with several inches of water and then pull the drain plug. Watch the water as it drains. If you notice small bubbles developing in the water is your tub drains, your clog problem is affecting more than just your toilets. It's time to get the plumber involved.
It's not uncommon to need your plunger from time to time. However, you when your toilets are functioning properly, you shouldn't need to use them on a continual basis. If you have to plunge the toilet each time you flush, you're looking at two potential problems. First, your toilets could be worn out and failing. Second, you've got a clog brewing in your drains. Either scenario will require the assistance of a plumber.
Contact a service, like Rob's Septic Tanks Inc, for more help.
When we became homeowners, I wasn't quite sure how to proceed with getting the yard cleaned up. It seemed like there was an abundance of trash in the area, and I wanted to make things easier for everyone. I began going through and working with family members and friends to clean things up, and it was no small task. Fortunately, by making some changes, we got everything sorted out quickly. I wanted to start a new blog that centered around understanding and resolving sanitation problems, because nobody should have to live in filth. Read more on this blog for great tips.

CIC censures DDA for lack of transparency in record management
New Delhi: Central Information Commission issued an order on Friday 5 June 2020 in response to an appeal against the non-furnishing of information sought under the RTI Act from Delhi Development Authority regarding the Cooperative Group Housing Societies built on DDA allotted lease land in Delhi underscoring total lack of transparency and objectivity in respect of the documentation and record management resulting in huge loss not only to the DDA but also inconvenience to the public at large.
The order passed by Chief Information Commissioner Bimal Julka on Friday 5 June 2020 comes in response to an RTI application seeking information on 15 points regarding the Cooperative Group Housing Societies built on DDA allotted lease land in Delhi; name of the Government Authority and the person-in-charge who grants and manages completion certificates in Delhi; Certificate C and D issued to CGHS; certificate of occupancy and completion certificate and the Law, Act/ Rule/ Section under which it was mandatory to issue these certificates.
DDA's Central Public Information Officer (CPIO), the officer responsible for providing the information under the RTI Act, stated through a letter on 27 July 2018 that DDA completion certificate was being issued by Building Department. Dissatisfied by the response of the CPIO, the Appellant approached the First Appellate Authority (FAA). It has come to light that the no order of the FAA in this matter is on the record of the Commission.
Asst Director, Group Housing, DDA, told the CIC that since the information sought was not available with them, he had transferred the file to the Building Division. The representative of the Building Division of the DDA feigned ignorance of the subject matter and stated that he was made aware of the Appeal under consideration on the date of hearing only. He was also unaware of the total number of societies which have yet to obtain completion certificates and tossed the matter to the Group Housing Division.
The representative of the Group Housing Division however informed that he had recently joined and as per his assessment, there were approximately 824 Group Housing Societies registered with DDA but no proper records were maintained of the updated status of fulfillment of procedural formalities.
The Commission has observed that no information was provided by the Respondent and the application shuttled from one Public Authority to another which was in contravention to the spirit of the RTI Act, 2005.
The CIC order categorically points out that apparently, "there exists a palpable vacuum in the records management system of the Public Authority which might be causing colossal revenue loss to the Public Authority besides huge inconvenience to the sufferings of the public".
keeping in view the facts of the case and the submissions made by both the parties and also in the light of the sensitivity and the criticality of the subject matter, the Commission has instructed the Vice Chairman, DDA to have this matter examined forthwith and furnish cogent, precise and correct information to the Appellant within a period of 30 days.
The Commission has also advised the Public Authority officials to place the entire information on its website for the benefit of the public at large. It is also essential that the Public Authority revisits
its record management manual and evolve a strong and robust mechanism for digitizing such records using the latest technological tools. An action taken report be sent to the Commission within a period of 30 days.
DDA has been asked to convene periodic conferences and seminars to sensitize, familiarize and educate the concerned officials about the relevant provisions of the RTI Act, 2005 for effective discharge of duties and responsibilities.
The Commission also has instructed DDA to convene periodic conferences/seminars to sensitize, familiarize and educate the concerned officials about the relevant provisions of the RTI Act, 2005 for effective discharge of its duties and responsibilities.
Editorial Comment: Under Sections 3 (3) (a) and (b) of the Delhi Development Act, 1957,
Delhi's Lieutenant governor is the chairman of DDA, while its executive head is the Vice Chairman, who is always a senior IAS officer appointed by the Central Government. Questions arise, Where the buck should stop? Who should be held accountable for lack of transparency and objectivity and when it comes to meeting the objectives of DDA?
We talk of transparency and objectivity but if we take DDA as a test case, another big question that needs to be addressed is – Who will fix accountability with regard to those responsible for direlection of duty and causing loss to the exchequer?
In another matter connected with the Delhi Development Authority, the CIC in November 2019, had taken note of "utter neglect, casual and callous disregard" to the provisions of the RTI Act, 2005, and directed Rajesh Kumar, Pr. Commissioner (Housing), DDA, to depute an officer of an appropriate seniority to investigate and to fix responsibility and accountability on the concerned official within a period of 30 days. A copy of the action taken in the matter should be reported to the Appellant with a copy to the Commission for its perusal.
In this matter also Bimal Julka, in his earlier position as Central Information Commissioner, had issued the order. Through this order, DDA been instructed to convene periodic conferences/seminars to sensitize, familiarize and educate the concerned officials about the relevant provisions of the RTI Act, 2005 for effective discharge of its duties and responsibilities.
The Appellant vide his RTI application had sought information on 4 points in respect of Flat Number C-1, 164, details of payment plan for the said flat along with dates for the payment of installments; the date on which the possession of the said flat would be granted; number of properties for which the possession of flats had been transferred, etc.
The Assistant Director (RTI)/PIO, through letter of 12 December 2017, transferred the RTI application to the Assistant Director (Housing Scheme-17)/PIO, DDA, for necessary action at their end. Dissatisfied due to non-receipt of any response from the concerned CPIO, the Appellant approached the FAA. The APIO, on 6 March 2018, transferred the Appeal to the FAA, DDA, New Delhi, for necessary action.
The Appellant reiterated the contents of the RTI application and stated that despite repeated reminders to the DDA, no reply had been received for the last two years and therefore enraged by the callousness and utter neglect exhibited by the Respondent, he desired that penal action be initiated against the concerned official and compensation be granted for lack of due diligence and disrespect to the provisions of the RTI Act, 2005. In its reply, the Respondent while acknowledging the delay in attending to the RTI application submitted that the RTI application remained untraced due to heavy pressure of work and inadequate staff. Only on receipt of the notice of hearing, the application was attended to and replied.
The repondent informed the CIC that the RTI Appeal was diarised in their office and the same was handed over to the then Dealing Assistant Govind Singh, who had not put up the same to the PIO/FAA and that he had retired in January, 2019. It was also mentioned that Harish Chander who had since retired and Ms Suman Madan, PIO/Assistant Director was transferred from Housing Department. G. S. Badwal, FAA/Dy. Director was also transferred from Housing Department in the month of September, 2019.
Furthermore, it was submitted that the information sought by the Appellant was already available in the brochure of the Housing Scheme, 2017 and Demand-cum-Allotment letter dated 15.02.2018 issued to the Applicant and that other information asked by him was hypothetical in nature.
The Commission had observed that there was complete negligence and laxity in the public authority in dealing with the RTI applications. It is abundantly clear that such matters are being ignored and set aside without application of mind which reflects disrespect towards the RTI Act, 2005 itself, the Commission hasd stated and expressed its displeasure on the casual and callous approach adopted by the DDA authority in responding to the RTI application. CIC order said: "It was felt that the conduct of the Respondent was against the spirit of the RTI Act, 2005 which was enacted to ensure greater transparency and effective access to the information."

LEYLAND LT1 50375 Leyland B?F 1929-?
County Motors, On the 11th October 1919, A & B Farrar, trading as County Motors commenced a route between Huddersfield and Lepton, via Emley and Flockton using ex-War Department chassis. Some of the early vehicles were lorries with seats. The company was incorporated as County Motors Ltd. on the 22nd December 1919. In 1923 the company commenced further services to Wakefield and Dewsbury and by the end of 1926 the fleet numbered 18 vehicles.
The business was put up for sale in January 1927 and in August of the same year control of the company passed jointly to Barnsley & District Traction (the forerunner of Yorkshire Traction) and Yorkshire (Woollen District) Electric Traction Ltd., both of whom were BET companies, and the West Riding Automobile Company, a independent company. This combination of owners led to County Motors being maintained as a separate operating entity for a number of years and vehicle policy reflected the tastes of its three co-owners, who also provided all administration and maintenance facilities.
Although the route network changed little over the years, the original vehicles acquired in 1927 consisting of a number of Reo Pullman and AEC saloons were soon replaced by the more heavyweight Leyland Lion chassis and subsequently by the Leyland Tiger. The first vehicles for the newly acquired operator were Nos. 28-29, Leyland PLSC3's of 1928, followed in 1929 by a number of Leyland LT1's (Nos. 30-36). Leyland Tiger 73 is now preserved. The fleet was never large and was garaged at the Waterloo depot, which Yorkshire Traction had acquired with the business of Mitchell in 1925, selling it to County Motors in 1927. It is still in use now again in the hands of Yorkshire Traction.
Double-deckers were used for the first time in 1943, when a pair of Leyland Titan TD2's were loaned by Yorkshire Woollen, although the company received its own double-deckers in 1944 (Nos. 64-66) Guy Arab II's were delivered, GUY's remained the choice for lowbridge double deckers although two Highbridges were purchased the last four were also fitted with platform doors, Leyland provided all single deckers from 1928 and six Highbridge Leyland Titans. County GUY 70 is preserved.
County never used service numbers for their own services but all Leyland Titan PD2s 87 and 88 did have destinations for the joint service of Yorkshire Woollen and Huddersfield Joint Omnibus Committee services 26 and 27 Huddersfield to Dewsbury service, they operated on this service regularly both with County Motors and Yorkshire Woollen crews in their later years. The influence of West Riding was seen in the purchase of two (Nos. 99-100) Guy Wulfrunians in 1961, but they remained in service for just two years before passing to the West Riding Fleet 99 is now preserved, each one was regularly replaced by Wulfrunian 8072DA of GUY motors as modifications were required. 8072DA and its sister vehicle also ended up at West Riding but only to supply parts.
On the 30th October 1967, the West Riding Automobile Company was acquired by the Transport Holding Company, and on 1st March 1968 the BET shareholding in the other two joint owners passed to the THC. As a result all three co-owners were now nationalised and part of the same company removing the need to keep County Motors as a separate operating unit. Consequently, on the 1st October 1968, control of the company was passed to the Yorkshire Traction Company Ltd, bringing to an end the separate existence of this tiny fleet.

Veteran Hopes His Military Dog Will Remember Him After 3 Years Apart
When it comes to dogs and military service, the military isn't always the kindest to their four-legged veterans. And it's a real shame because the men and women that they serve alongside grow very attached to their canine partners. One Army Specialist, Vance McFarland, spent a whole three years attempting to reunite with the bomb-sniffing dog he served with in Afghanistan.
McFarland worked alongside his partner Ikar, a Tactical Explosive Detection Dog, attempting to locate roadside bombs.

"Sometimes we're good, sometimes were stressful," he said to KTVB News. "Having Ikar definitely made it a lot better. Having a dog with you on deployment is almost like having a little bit of home."
When the came back stateside in September 2012, he and Ikar had only long enough together for him to get one picture, before Ikar was sent back through the TEDD program, and got deployed to Afghanistan once again.
"It sucked. I mean we worked together for a long time. We were really close, then it was just like that, they took him away."
Reportedly, the contract company informed the Army that they had a contract with these dogs to be repurposed and used again. It turns out they didn't, and Ikar was abandoned.
Mission K9 Rescue and U.S. War Dogs Association workers attempted to find the handlers of these dogs.
Photo: Youtube / USA Today
McFarland said, "I got Facebook stalked, to be honest with you. I woke up one morning and had all kinds of messages on Facebook. People were like, 'Is this your dog? Were you a dog handler in the Army?' And I was like 'Yea! What's going on?' That's when I heard he had been abandoned and then saved and that I get the chance to adopt him now."
McFarland didn't hesitate as it was the easiest decision to make. And now, both he and Ikar don't ever have to be separated ever again.

Here the question that arises is why Aquatuff Cleaner is so important during Ship Hold Cleaning?
Aquatuff is alkaline in nature which neutrilizes the acidic residue created due to the presence of moisture and products like coal, sulphur, salt etc. And emulsification effect of aquatuff makes alll oil stain water soluble. It means Aquatuff's major role is to neutralize the acidic residue and emulsifying Oil residue. One more important feature of Aquatuff high foam results in the formation of dense foam with high-pressure machines, which can easily be applied even on vertical surfaces.
Aquatuf High Foam - Acts as an Oil residue Emulsifier - Useful for removal of coal and oily residue.
