This is the second post in the Let's Spin. . . series. You can find the first post on spinning Coopworth here.
Today's spin study is Jacob wool. Jacob sheep are relatively small sheep that were historically kept as ornamental animals by the gentry of England. Jacob wool is interesting because there are multiple different colors within a single fleece. Jacobs' color patterns typically are white and black, but can also be white and gray or soft brownish-gray (called lilac).
Another interesting little fact about the Jacob sheep is that they are double horned (sometimes triple horned) with a goatish set extending up and a sheepish set that curls.
Jacob fleeces not only are multicolored, but they "have one of the widest ranges of acceptable fiber qualities of any kind of sheep" according to Deb Robson (The Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook). The wool generally has some luster but varies in crimp, fineness, and staple length** (3 to 7 inches); this variation can occur from sheep to sheep or even within the same fleece. Jacob wool has been described as crisp feeling with a springy quality.
Commercially prepared Jacob wool is usually more of a homogenous brownish grey, resulting from batch blending of white, browns, grays, and sometimes blacks. I look forward to one day purchasing and self-processing a multicolor raw fleece and sorting it by individual colors prior to spinning.
The Jacob wool I handspun was grey top from Louet. I also wanted to try to spin a tweed style yarn so you can see a pile from my stash bag of remnant fibers. More on spinning tweed yarn at the bottom of this post.
I spun on my Louet S-17 wheel on a 7.5:1 ratio and then plied from a center pull ball, again using a 7.5:1 ratio This produced a nicely balanced yarn. Jacob wool can have a bit of kemp. The top I spun had very little white kemp which was easily picked while spinning or pulled out from the finished yarn.
Kemp - hair (not wool) fibers that are heavy and coarse.
To finish the yarn, I soaked it in hot water with a little wool soap for about 10 minutes, then rinsed with warm water, and hung to dry. My finished yarn is 52 grams/74 yards, roughly 14 wraps per inch (WPI); probably a sport weight overall.
Jacob wool has been described as bouncy and springy. I would definitely agree; although I spun this with a worsted (short draw technique), I think it would be even springier, if spun woolen (long draw technique). Some describe Jacob as soft, almost buttery. My yarn is not soft but also not scratchy; I probably wouldn't want it right next to sensitive skin areas like a scarf would be. Again, that was this Jacob top; remember there is great diversity among Jacob fleeces!
For comparison, I placed my spinning cards for the Jacob and Coopworth yarns side by side. In looking at the unspun fiber you can see this Jacob had less crimp, no neps, and was finer than the Coopworth. The resultant Jacob yarn was smoother with more twist definition than the Coopworth.
Website - Spotted Fever http://www.spotted-fever.com/catalog.html - you've got to check out their hats!!!
As promised, I'll end this post with a mini tutorial on spinning tweed-like yarn. For the main fiber, you need a medium to long staple length, in this case the gray Jacob top. For the textured or tweed fiber(s), select one that is very short, such as Yak, Cashmere, silk noil, or you could use the waste from your carding and spinning as I have done! I chose pinks, blues, purples, white, and other grays from my remnant fiber stash and pulled them into small pieces.
You will need more of your base fiber than of the short texture fiber. Your fiber proportions depend on the amount of tweed you want in your yarn. I used about a 1:10 ratio of short fibers to Jacob fiber. In the future, I would use a greater amount of short fibers to achieve a little more tweed in the yarn.
I ran the fibers through my drum carder by putting a thin layer of Jacob on first. Then I added some of the short fibers and continued alternating between the Jacob and the short fibers; finishing with a thin layer of Jacob. I removed the batt, split it into four lengths, and recarded it to blend and spread the short fibers through the batt.
To spin, I pulled strips off the batt. As I drafted, there were little clumps of texture fiber coming through caught into the longer Jacob fibers. I tried not to smooth these down as I spun, trapping them into the twist.
I hope you enjoyed this post, and even better, I hope you are inspired to try something new!

In this video we demonstrate how our horizontal roller track and tie down systems work. To deploy and store your enclosure system, follow the steps below.
Start by releasing the curtain from its stored position by removing the built-in Velcro strap that holds the curtain together.
Once the curtain is loose, slide it open across the track until it stops at the edge of the doorway.
Next, release the doorway curtain from its stored position by removing the Velcro strap holding it together.
Next, slide the doorway curtain across the track until it meets the longer section of curtain.
Next, secure two sections of curtain (long section and doorway section) together.
Next, secure the doorway curtain to the floor by connecting the tie down system on the curtain to the D-rings on the floor; use the straps to pull the curtain taut against the floor.
The enclosure should now be securely in place.
Repeat as needed if there are additional sections of curtain enclosing the space.
Start by unhooking the curtain from the D-rings on the floor.
Then, slide the doorway curtain across the track toward the wall or corner, and secure it with the built-in Velcro strap.
Next, slide the longer section of curtain across the track toward the wall or corner, and secure it with the built-in Velcro strap.
If two sections of curtain come together at a single corner, secure both sections together using the built-in Velcro straps.
Once all curtains have been secured, the enclosure should now be securely stored.
Track and trolley rigged outdoor patio enclosures, patio walls, and deck curtains are ideal for golf course clubhouses, restaurants, pavilions with long runs (100-foot or more), and areas with extra tall (12'+) ceilings.

John McAllister Schofield (September 29, 1831 – March 4, 1906) was an American soldier who held major commands during the Civil War. He later served as U.S. Secretary of War under Presidents Andrew Johnson and Ulysses S. Grant, and Commanding General of the United States Army.
Schofield was born in Gerry, New York, and graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1853. He served for two years in the artillery, was assistant professor of natural and experimental philosophy at West Point from 1855 to 1860, and while on leave (1860–1861) was professor of physics at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.
Schofield Barracks, Hawaii 1925
General Schofield died at St. Augustine, Florida, and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. His memoirs, Forty-six Years in the Army, were published in 1897. He is memorialized by the military installation Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. Prior to his death, Schofield was the last surviving member of Andrew Johnson's Cabinet.
Today, Schofield is remembered for a lengthy quotation that all cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point and the United States Air Force Academy are required to memorize. It is an excerpt from his graduation address to the class of 1879 at West Point:
The discipline which makes the soldiers of a free country reliable in battle is not to be gained by harsh or tyrannical treatment. On the contrary, such treatment is far more likely to destroy than to make an army. It is possible to impart instruction and give commands in such a manner and such a tone of voice as to inspire in the soldier no feeling, but an intense desire to obey, while the opposite manner and tone of voice cannot fail to excite strong resentment and a desire to disobey. The one mode or the other of dealing with subordinates springs from a corresponding spirit in the breast of the commander. He who feels the respect which is due to others cannot fail to inspire in them respect for himself. While he who feels, and hence manifests, disrespect towards others, especially his subordinates, cannot fail to inspire hatred against himself.

At the Canadian Centre for Addictions, we believe in a client-centred model of addiction treatment. This means taking the time to meet with the individual to ensure that their specific needs are being addressed.
The best way to accomplish this is with regular and frequent one-on-one addiction counselling.
Addiction Counselling at the Canadian Centre for Addictions is a relationship in which a counsellor helps the client mobilize resources to resolve their problem and modify attitudes and values.
The counsellor will always discuss and explain to the individual the rationale for what they are doing in counselling, as the process must be a collaborative effort between the helper and the person being helped.
Expectation of how counselling will help.
Relief of symptoms – are there possible solutions to the problem?
Client-counsellor match, ensuring that the helper and the client are an appropriate match and will develop into the most therapeutic relationship.
The counsellor provides information to the client so that the former can determine how everything that is being done in addiction counselling aligns with the individual's goals.
Make specific counselling recommendations such as anger, family, marital, or life sills counselling.
The client must agree on and "own" the goals to make them work.
The client and the counsellor will work together toward resolving problems and meeting outlined goals. The counsellor will assess on an ongoing basis the most effective method of individual counselling to ensure that they are supporting the client's needs as best as possible.
Termination is not the last counselling session, but rather a phase in which the counsellor will work with the client on preparing a discharge and aftercare plan. When the client is done treatment, they will be able to stay sober and continue working toward their goals on their own.
This is a timely and carefully planned process that involves the collaboration of not only the client's counsellor but also the entire clinical team to ensure every resource possible is at the client's disposal when completing treatment. However, if the counsellor sees a need for an intensive in-patient program, then that will also be recommended as that has many benefits.

Not so master race now are we? —
GTA V's Rockstar Editor won't be a PC exclusive, is coming to PS4 and Xbox One
Previously PC exclusive feature arriving on consoles "this summer."
Mark Walton - May 8, 2015 1:56 pm UTC
3 with 2 posters participating
So, about that whole "Rockstar Editor is exclusive to GTA V PC" thing. Turns out, that's not strictly true. In a Q&A over on the Rockstar Games website, the developer confirmed that tailored versions of the video editing tools will also be making their way to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
"The Rockstar Editor is an advanced tool requiring additional processing power so it would not be compatible with GTA V on the older systems," Rockstar wrote, "but we are currently working on a version tailored for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles—and we hope to release that sometime this summer, or as soon as it is ready. We are also planning to bring The Lab radio station to all four consoles in a forthcoming title update. Please stay tuned for more information."
Here's what you'll need to play Grand Theft Auto V in 4K
The Rockstar Editor—which allows players to trim and splice together video clips of gameplay, as well as add a variety of filters and effects before uploading them directly to YouTube—has already been used to great effect, with the PC crowd combining the editor with mods to create some, uhh, interesting pieces of video. It's worth noting that many of the best pieces of video made with Rockstar Editor have used mods in some fashion, which console owners will miss out on.
Still, it's nice to see Rockstar continuing to support older versions of GTA V and add new features. And PC owners needn't feel too cheated: aside from mods, you can still lord it over your console-owning friends with all that sweet custom radio, 1080p60, and 4K support.

UF coach Mike White calls college basketball scandal sobering
Oct 03, 2017 | 7:30 PM
| GAINESVILLE
The scandal that rocked college basketball hit close to home for UF coach Mike White, who called last week's disclosures a little sobering.
White also said he goes out of his way to make sure his house is in order to prevent the entanglements in recruiting that can ensnare programs.
"You want to be careful with everything that's said and who you have relationships with and how you go about doing what you do," White said Tuesday during the Gators' basketball media day. "As a staff, you want to be really familiar with the rule book and you want to have an open line with your compliance department.
"We're in constant communication with those guys as a staff, meet on it a bunch."
An FBI investigation uncovered allegations of corruption, bribery and wire fraud involving several major programs and led to 10 indictments last Wednesday of several assistant coaches and an Adidas executive.
UF and Nike, its apparel sponsor, appear to be outside the scope of the wide-ranging investigation.
White said the revelations regarding a longstanding issue could have some benefit, but also will unfairly impact a lot of players.
"I think anytime that you've got serious conversations taking place about our sport and how to make it better, that positives can come from it," he said. "You hate to see what's happened to some of these guys."
Better than advertised
Rice graduate transfer Egor Koulechov arrived with high expectations and already has exceeded them.
Koulechov averaged 18.2 points and 8.9 rebounds per game and shot 47.4 percent from 3-point range last season. But White said the 6-foot-5, 205-pound Koulechov is more impressive in person than on paper.
"A little bit better than I even anticipated," White said. "Plays really hard, leads by example, vocal at times, but trying to find his way as he's developing relationships with these guys. Really consistent, plays with a tremendous motor and can make shots and sprint into them, and takes good ones."
Koulechov's shooting ability quickly is becoming legend — he made 44 consecutive 3-pointers during a summer workout — and earned him the nickname "3gor" from the school's student section, the Rowdy Reptiles.
Senior point guard Chris Chiozza said he has not played with a better shooter.
"I think in practice yesterday, we had a two-hour practice, he might have missed two shots, so …," Chiozza said.
Challenge ahead
The 2016-17 Gators were the only SEC team to rank in the top 75 nationally in scoring offense and defense. UF averaged 77.8 points (68th of 347 teams) and allowed an average of 66.5 points (47th).
White expects the Gators to score even more, but he worries whether the defense can keep up.
"I think we could be better offensively," he said. "I'm not sure we can be quite as good defensively. If this team is as good defensively as last year's team, we'll be really good.
"We're going to strive for that every day."
Analytics guru Ken Pomeroy, whom White follows closely, ranked the 2016-17 Gators'defense fifth in the nation and the offense 24th.
If UF can come close to matching those numbers, another NCAA Tournament run could be in the offing.
"This team, I don't think the mental and physical make-up will be as easy for this team to make it a top-5 defensive team in the country like last year's group, but we'll try," he said "Maybe they'll surprise us."
Hard-working freshmen
The Gators open practice Thursday, but the impact of the UF 2017 class already has been felt.
"I've been blown away by their work ethic," White said. "My freshmen class lives in the gym. Lives in the gym."
White expects 6-foot-9 Chase Johnson, 6-foot-5 Deaundrae Ballard and 6-foot Mike Okauru to contribute this season. Meanwhile, 6-foot-8 Isaiah Stokes could redshirt as he recovers from an ACL injury.
Chiozza, who appeared in all 33 games as a freshman, gushed over Johnson's freakish athletic ability, Ballard's scoring ability and Okauru's high-energy style.
"It's a lot of talent," Chiozza said.

What It's Like to Be a Guy Named Riley Reid
'I kept receiving requests from men I didn't know, who kept saying they wanted to have sex with me. After a while, I stopped checking my inbox altogether.'
"I want to fuck you so hard in the ass." "Hey baby… let me come [all over] your ass." "Would you suck my dick… sexy lady?" These are just a few of the more SFW messages Riley Reid has received over the last month. Such dirty DMs are standard practice if you're the world-famous porn star Riley Reid, who nears the top of Pornhub's search results in pretty much every country the tube site operates in.
Not so much, though, if you're Riley Reid, British paramedic and father of two.
As such, when Reid (the paramedic) set up his LinkedIn account back in 2015, he didn't expect his inbox to become so filthy. "I didn't even know what LinkedIn was!" he laughs, adding that he mostly only goes online to check soccer scores and watch Netflix. Initially, the 42-year-old Reid had merely wanted to network with friends and colleagues. But in less than two weeks, he recalls, "I kept receiving requests from men I didn't know, who kept saying they wanted to have sex with me. After a while, I stopped checking my inbox altogether."
Reid (the paramedic) also didn't know who Reid (the porn performer) was — making him one of the few men on earth unfamiliar with her. "I think some of my friends knew what was going on," he tells me. "They kept saying I should Google myself and then I'd find out." When he did, he says, "I don't think I saw my record of employment on the [National Health Service] website until 10 or so pages in."
Sharing a name with a porn star isn't uncommon — especially if those names are simple and easy to remember (e.g., Alex Adams, Emily Willis or Nicole Aniston) — but in a world where everyone Googles each other, it can make applying for a job or going on dates tricky. Just last week, a parent wrote to Nicole Cliffe, Slate's advice columnist, asking whether they should force their child to change his "otherwise unique" name, because he shared it with a well-known porn actor. Indeed, even on Reddit, people who have faced the same dilemma have contemplated legally changing their names, or adopting their middle names, just so those Googling them can find something other than links to Pornhub, Redtube and xHamster.
People who share the same name as a pornstar, how is it? from AskReddit
A cursory search on LinkedIn turns up more than a dozen people — both men and women — named Riley Reid. They do everything from technology consulting to sales management; one even works at NASA. The vast majority also refused my interview request. "That name has ruined my life enough," one writes over LinkedIn's chat function.
Other Riley Reids, however, find the humor in their plight. "I've been dealing with this since I was 16," says Riley Reid, a 24-year-old videographer in New York City. "I remember waking up one morning in high school and receiving a congratulations message from my friend because Riley Reid was at No. 1 on Pornhub."
Like Riley Reid (the paramedic), Riley Reid (the videographer) also receives frequent messages from men around the world, asking if they can fuck him — something Reid (the videographer) is always surprised about "considering that they do so through my website, which clearly shows I'm a guy who makes films." What's more, Reid (the videographer) has gone as far as using his middle name, Neville, in order to distinguish himself online. He similarly made a video for his vlog to make sure people knew the differences between him and Riley Reid (the porn performer).
Unfortunately, Reid (the videographer) tells me that his efforts have largely been in vain. He still receives three or four dirty emails a month, and when an extended family member Googles his given name, they continue to be bombarded with links from tube sites. But again, he tries to keep a sense of humor about it. "There's this awkwardness, especially when I introduce myself somewhere, or if I'm going crossing the border, where they'll look at my name and smirk, before getting embarrassed and remembering to put on a straight face," he laughs.
He has reached out, a few times, to the woman who has made his name infamous. Like most guys, though, he hasn't received a reply back. But he hopes that one day he'll get to meet her. After all, he says, he wants "to introduce myself as an original Riley Reid."

"As a creator driven platform, we respect all creators, and therefore we respect the rights of all creators who request to have their content removed," a new blog post on the site clarifies.
A new blog post on SoundCloud's site regarding copyright infringement rules seems to be sending mixed messages to users: Despite initial reports stating otherwise, SoundCloud still has the authority to pull DJ mixes containing copyrighted material.
SoundCloud founder Eric Wahlforss told Groove recently that the company had inked a deal with various licensing groups to keep DJ mixes on the site even if they contained copyrighted material. BBC originally reported that the licensing deal only applied to songs used in longer DJ mixes and not remixes of individual tracks. These longer mixes could only be posted previously if they had been granted rights of the material that had been incorporated into their mixes.
The report seemed to be the end-all solution to artists who had concerns of uploading material that would be pulled down and potentially lead to account termination. But after asking for comment, Pitchfork was recently redirected to a blog post from the site published Wednesday stating that while there are "far fewer takedowns of various forms of content," the possibility of copyright infringement notices still looms.
"While the agreements we have in place across the industry have greatly lessened the likelihood of takedowns, as a creator driven platform, we respect all creators, and therefore we respect the rights of all creators who request to have their content removed," SoundCloud said in the blog post.
SoundCloud users are typically allowed a number of strikes against their account before it is terminated and noted that as early as 2014, Universal Music Group was granted the ability to pull material directly without consulting SoundCloud.
Wahlforss had not stated whether users whose accounts had been previously terminated for copyright infringement would be restored.

I almost choked on the water I was chugging down as we took a break between tennis games. Seven tennis buds and I were fighting the blistering heat to squeeze in three sets, and one of the players suddenly decided to spill.
Alana wasn't someone I was particularly close to, but having been a tennis acquaintance for over a year, I was aware of her fiercely independent nature. I recalled a few weeks prior when she appeared for her regular tennis session rather than attending her only child's 5th grade graduation ceremony.
And now it appeared as though her marriage was in danger, but Alana didn't seem at all distressed. The rest of us simply stared at her, stunned, as we silently placed ourselves on the wifely end of that ultimatum she'd been given and began to feel the devastation of loss.
A feeling that Alana apparently didn't share.
"I won't tolerate anyone telling me what to do. If he wants a divorce, he can have it. I'll just get a boyfriend. Or maybe two." Alana wiped her pretty face with a towel. Slim and athletic, she looked ten years younger her 43 years. No, she wouldn't have any trouble getting a boyfriend. Or two.
And then, while we were still absorbing this info, she hit us with the biggest zinger of all.
I felt as though someone had poured a bucket of ice water over my head.
"He'll be fine," Alana assured us – and herself. "We'll just split him right down the middle." With this Solomon-esque statement (although I'm pretty sure she had never read that biblical account), Alana made a cutting motion with her hand right down the center of her body.
I must say Alana's callous attitude about her family shocked me. Especially her philosophy of marriage. I know she's not a Christian, but what kind of relationship creed is that? You treat men like pond scum and then when you're finally civil to them, they're thrilled by the wonderful surprise. What???
Contrast that self-centered, "it's all about me" attitude with what I consider the Christ-followers' marital creed, Colossians 3:12 -13 (NIV): Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Sure, like Alana, we all get annoyed with our spouses at some time during our marriages (we just hope it only lasts hours instead of days or weeks!). What would we do without compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and especially patience when the going gets rough? Those spiritual qualities that can only come from the Lord when we're scraping the bottom of the barrel?
As astounding as Alana's confession was, it certainly made me think about my own marriage and renew allegiance to the creed I choose to live by.
How about you? What's your creed?
Amen, sister! Unbelievable attitude in a marriage — even a non-Christian one. There should still be some basic principles to live by; normal human behavior. What is the world coming to?
That kind of attitiude is definitely detrimental to any marriage.
Marriage is not about getting our needs met; it's about dying to self and practicing what it means to truly love like God does (unconditionally/1 Corinthians 13) and living out Philippians 2:1-16 daily.

Design, Fabrication and Validation of a Laboratory Flow Loop for Hydrate Studies

The peculiar nature of the offshore environment has necessitated the need for the Oil and Gas industry to develop durable subsea technologies and better hydrate inhibitors to prevent hydrate formation and assure flow. This paper discusses the design, fabrication and validation of a laboratory flow loop for hydrate studies. The laboratory loop is a closed loop of 12meters, fabricated using 0.5inch 316 stainless steel pipe enclosed in an insulated 4inch Polyvinylchloride (PVC) pipe. The skid mounted loop was fitted with pumps, temperature gauges, pressure gauges, differential pressure transmitters, a gas mixing vessel, an inhibitor mixing vessel, and a Natural Gas cylinder. Hydrate formed in the loop when natural gas was contacted with water under suitable hydrate forming temperature and pressure conditions and was indicated by an increased loop temperature, an increased differential pressure and a decreased loop pressure. Loop Validation was done by flowing a single phase fluid of water, a single phase fluid of gas and a 2 phase fluid of gas and water in three different experimental runs respectively. Each experimental run lasted 2 hours during which temperatures and pressures around the loop were recorded every minute. Hydrate formation was observed in the experimental run conducted with the two phase fluid (gas and water) and the experimental run conducted with gas alone due to water condensing out of gas during cooling. Hydrate did not form in the experimental run conducted with single phase fluid of water. The laboratory flow loop adequately predicts hydrate formation and has been used in screening and selection of Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitors (KHI).

I Lord, my head is bowed, arms stretched across the narrow floor. II The tumid wind rose, spread like night, & waves fell & ashes. III Slowly I'm spent & time dries my leaving.
I shook like a flower in your hand. i was gone . in spirit i was not . what i was . but a shake of the head, a nod. not really understanding. everybody says I'm like your playground companion. When you rise I fall, like flies on death.
Twilight paths move among the brown and green of is and been Many last light flight is neither heard nor seen Darkness folds it's soft close o'er tree and stream and I Am in-between.

No job is too small to mention. I recently started working for Your Man In Berlin, a Swedish travel agency situated here. They specialise in arranging group trips to Berlin for companies and school classes. My job is to make sure the groups get to their hotels safe and sound.
Since I came to Berlin to live in 2013 I figured working in tourism might be "my thing". Back then I didn't find any jobs or way into the business, and I soon forgot about it.
In Mars of this year I saw an ad for "meet-and-greeters" and I jumped at the chance. It's fun to help people, and I enjoy telling them about my big love – the city of Berlin.
Who knows, this might be something that can grow into a full-blown guiding business for me. I think that might be right up my alley.

Quotes about Aggression
It was a matter of being integer vitae and also of having committed himself to a world in which pure and simple aggression was to be accepted as part of the human fabric.
Aggression which is flagitious when committed by one, is not sanctioned when committed by a host.
The truth is often a terrible weapon of aggression. It is possible to lie, and even to murder, with the truth.
Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. the foundation of such a method is love.
Countess Of Lao-tzu
Thus the principle of Judo, from the very beginning, is not one of aggression, but of flowing with things.
Carl B. Becker
. . . while men represent powerful activity as assertion and aggression, women in contrast portray acts of nurturance as acts of strength.
Carol Gilligan
In this society, the norm of masculinity is phallic aggression. Male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic. A man's identity is located in his conception of himself as the possessor of a phallus; a man's worth is located in his pride in phallic identity. The main characteristic of phallic identity is that worth is entirely contingent on the possession of a phallus. Since men have no other criteria for worth, no other notion of identity, those who do not have phalluses are not recognized as fully human.
A car crash harnesses elements of eroticism, aggression, desire, speed, drama, kinesthetic factors, the stylizing of motion, consumer goods, status—all these in one event. I myself see the car crash as a tremendous sexual event really: a liberation of human and machine libido (if there is such a thing).
I think most historians will agree that the part played by impulses of selfish, individual aggression in the holocausts of history was small; first and foremost, the slaughter was meant as an offering to the gods, to king and country, or the future happiness of mankind. The crimes of Caligula shrink to insignificance compared to the havoc wrought by Torquemada. The number of victims of robbers, highwaymen, rapists, gangsters and other criminals at any period of history is negligible compared to the massive numbers of those cheerfully slain in the name of the true religion, just policy, or correct ideology.
Arthur Koestler
The continuous disasters of man's history are mainly due to his excessive capacity and urge to become identified with a tribe, nation, church or cause, and to espouse its credo uncritically and enthusiastically, even if its tenets are contrary to reason, devoid of self-interest and detrimental to the claims of self-preservation.We are thus driven to the unfashionable conclusion that the trouble with our species is not an excess of aggression, but an excess capacity for fanatical devotion.
Security is the priceless product of freedom. Only the strong can be secure, and only in freedom can men produce those material resources which can secure them from want at home and against aggression from abroad.
B. E. Hutchinson
The Vietnamese people deeply love independence, freedom and peace. But in the face of United States aggression they have risen up, united as one man.
We will fight them in the air, land and sea, and their aggression will achieve nothing but failure.

Q: Find matching duplicates and color each a different color I'm trying to find duplicates in a document and have the font of each unique match be a different color.
I've modified code I came across and it works for the first two unique duplicate matches then stops.
I'd like to find only unique 5-digit integers that are duplicate matches (<[0-9]]{5}).
Sub ColorDuplicates()

    Dim xRg As Range
    Dim xTxt As String
    Dim xCIxCellndex As Long
    Dim xCol As Collection
    Dim xCell As Range
    'Dim xChar As String
    Dim xCellPre As Range
    Dim I As Long

    Set xRg = ActiveDocument.Words.Last

    xCIndex = 5
    Set xCol = New Collection

    For Each xCell In ActiveDocument.Words

        On Error Resume Next
        xCol.Add xCell, xCell.Text

        If Err.Number = 457 Then
            xCIndex = xCIndex + 1
            Set xCellPre = xCol(xCell.Text)

            If xCellPre.Font.ColorIndex = 1 Then xCellPre.Font.ColorIndex = xCIndex
                xCell.Font.ColorIndex = xCellPre.Font.ColorIndex

            End If
            On Error GoTo 0

    Next

End Sub

A: You might try something along the lines of:
Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim StrFnd As String, i As Long
With ActiveDocument.Range
  With .Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .Text = "<[0-9]{5}>"
    .Replacement.Text = ""
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindStop
    .Format = False
    .MatchWildcards = True
    .Execute
  End With
  Do While .Find.Found
    If InStr(StrFnd, .Text) = 0 Then
      StrFnd = StrFnd & "|" & .Text
      i = UBound(Split(StrFnd, "|"))
    Else
      For i = 1 To UBound(Split(StrFnd, "|")) - 1
        If Split(StrFnd, "|")(i) = .Text Then Exit For
      Next
    End If
    i = i Mod 15
    If i < 7 Then
      i = i + 1
    Else
      i = i + 2
    End If
    .HighlightColorIndex = i
    .Collapse wdCollapseEnd
    .Find.Execute
  Loop
End With

The above code can handle up to 14 duplicated numbers, after which the colours are recycled. As coded, it highlights them, rather than changing the font colour. To do the latter, change:
.HighlightColorIndex = i

to:
.Font.ColorIndex = i

If you need more than 14 font colours, you'll need to provide some arrangement for specifying which of the available 16 million colours you want to use - via their RGB values. For highlighting, though, only 16 colours exist, including black & white - both of which I've excluded.

A: Thanks for your help on this!
I was able to solve this with help a slightly different way. Here is the code with 71 distinct colors for each set of duplicates.

A: A more flexible approach would be to take the code from my previous answer and replace:
Dim StrFnd As String, i As Long

with:
Dim StrFnd As String, i As Long, s As Long, r As Long, g As Long, b As Long, c As Long
s = 56: c = s ^ (1 / 3)

and replace:
i = i Mod 15
If i < 7 Then
  i = i + 1
Else
  i = i + 2
End If
.Font.ColorIndex = i

with:
r = (i Mod c) * 256 / (c - 1)
g = (Int(i / c) Mod c) * 256 / (c - 1)
b = (Int(i / c ^ 2) Mod c) * 256 / (c - 1)
.Font.Color = RGB(r, g, b)

This way, simply changing the '56' in 's = 56' will allow you to pre-specify the maximum number of colours to use. The code will then auto-select those colours from the 16,777,216 available. Naturally, as you increase/decrease the 's' value, the automatically-chosen colour series will also vary.
For an idea of the colours you'll get with this approach, try the following in an new document:
Sub Demo()
Dim i As Long, s As Long, r As Long, g As Long, b As Long, c As Long
With ActiveDocument.Range
  .Text = vbNullString
  s = 56: c = s ^ (1 / 3)
  For i = 1 To s
    r = (i Mod c) * 256 / (c - 1)
    g = (Int(i / c) Mod c) * 256 / (c - 1)
    b = (Int(i / c ^ 2) Mod c) * 256 / (c - 1)
    .InsertAfter vbTab & ChrW(&H2588)
    .Characters.Last.Previous.Font.Color = RGB(r, g, b)
  Next
End With
End Sub

Many parents nowadays believe spanking their children for wrongdoings is OK because they were spanked when they were little, and they turned out okay. However, new research is looking into how physical discipline can pose serious risks to children, and the lasting effects are not beneficial to the child in the long run.
Physical punishment can potentially lead to aggression, antisocial behavior, physical injury and mental health problems. Meanwhile, two-thirds of Americans still approve of parents spanking their kids. If spanking or use of physical aggression by a parent doesn't work the first time, they think that they just didn't make it severe enough, which is why it can become so dangerous.
Spanking may be a quick fix, but the science on child discipline shows that immediate compliance declines until it eventually disappears as the child learns to expect what is coming and becomes unafraid. Some children may also experience lower levels of moral internalization, meaning that they may not understand that something was morally wrong, but they know right from wrong from whether or not they were hit for it.
The question should be not only what physical discipline does to children, but what it does to parents as well. Parents who spank their children often don't know the harmful effects to their children or alternative methods. One article even argues that spanking is a result of a parent's need for more balance in their own lives. Discipline like this can also harden the parent emotionally toward the child, making the parent-child relationship strained.
A program at Yale, for example, teaches parents to use positive reinforcement, reward children for good behavior, and talk with their children about how to appropriately resolve conflicts. Alternative methods can bypass problems like children feeling afraid of their parents and spanking their children in the future so the cycle will finally end.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like punishing children physically is going to end as quickly as it should. Parents aren't the only offenders of this method; corporal punishment in places like schools is still legal in 19 states because of the 1977 Supreme Court case Ingraham v. Wright. If our schools are still allowed to practice this non-effective method, then it will take that much longer for it to stop altogether. But the research doesn't lie, and hopefully one day parents will finally realize that what they are doing is not the best option for their children.


Bhubaneswar: Locals clashed with police personnel on the outskirts of the Odisha capital on Monday after a self-styled godman was arrested and charged with sexually exploiting a woman. The violence occurred near the Trahi Achyut Ashram as news spread about the arrest of the godman, Surendranath Mishra, and his son.
Even as police imposed prohibitory orders banning the assembly of five or more people, people collected at the place, forcing police to use canes in a bid to disperse them. When the godman's supporters pelted stones at the police, they lobbed tear gas. "We are trying to maintain law and order," said Police Commissioner R.P. Sharma. He said 12 people had been arrested for vandalism and hooliganism.
Police sources said several people were injured from both the sides in the clash. They included Deputy Commissioner of Police Satyabrat Bhoi. Sharma said police would try to take police remand for the godman and his son to interrogate them. A woman has lodged a complaint of sexual exploitation against the godman. Police have slapped charges of wrongful restraint, wrongful confinement, obscenity and criminal intimidation against the godman. Charges under the Arms Act have also been slapped against him following the recovery of two air guns and three 9 mm cartridges from the ashram.
