Title Bath stall plate of William Gossett
Nationality British
Period 1816
Engraved: 'WILLIAM GOSSET ESQUIRE. / Lieutenant Colonel in the Army and / Captain in the Corps of Royal Engineers / COMPANION of the Most Honourable / Military Order of the Bath / Nominated 26th November 1816'. This is a rare award for the bombardment of Algiers and appears to be Gosset's only named award.
These stall plates were screwed into the choir stalls of the Chapel of the Order of the Bath in Westminster Abbey. Old ones were taken down on the death of the owner and this, complete with its original period paper wrapper, is part of a batch sold off by the Church of England in the 1960s. The maker's name and address is punched into the back.
William Gosset commanded the Royal Engineers on board HMS Queen Charlotte, which led the attack on Algiers. This attack, commanded by Lord Exmouth, involved the destruction of the Barbary pirates, renegade Muslims who the Sultan of Turkey asked the US and British navies to destroy.
He was commissioned in 1798; served on the expedition to Holland in 1799, in Ceylon during the Kandian war, in the Mediterranean on several occasions; from 1812 to 1815, commanded a detachment at the attack and burning of Oswego (New York State on the shore of Lake Ontario) in the 2nd American War. He was made Knight Commander of Hanover (ie became Sir William Gosset) in 1831 in view of his long services in the Royal Engineers. He died 27 March 1848 as a Major General in the army.

Q: running parallel different task Ansible 2.2.0 I want to know if it's possible deploy 6 different tasks in parallel (3|3) for 2 different hosts in ansible 2.2.0, because i'm having issues run them in parallel with one playbook, they just run sequencial.

A: You can do this with async tasks. Something like this:
- hosts: host1,host2
  tasks:
    - command: /task1a.sh
      async: 1000
      poll: 0
      register: task1a
      when: inventory_hostname == 'host1'
    - command: /task1b.sh
      async: 1000
      poll: 0
      register: task1b
      when: inventory_hostname == 'host2'
    # ... repeat for tasks 2 and 3
    - command: /check_done.sh
      register: check_done
      until: check_done | success
      retries: 30

This will start task1a.sh and task1b.sh as async jobs on host1 and host2 respectively and then wait for check_done.sh to return zero.

A: You can see strategy: free in a combination with when: inventory_hostname == 'hostXX', for example:
- hosts: all
  strategy: free
  tasks:
    - block:
        - name: task1
          ...
        - name: task2
          ...
        - name: task3
          ...
      when: inventory_hostname == 'host1'

    - block:
        - name: task4
          ...
        - name: task5
          ...
        - name: task6
          ...
      when: inventory_hostname == 'host2'

strategy: free means all tasks will run on all hosts in parallel as fast as they can, not waiting for each task to finish on each host. Which task is going to be run on which host is decided by the when clause.
I used block here, so that you only need to write one when for each block, but you don't have to use it, you can write a when on each task.

Wired (Buchanan-Renard #13) - Page 61/110
At the end of questioning, Bale was so out of control he was strongly encouraged to take a leave of absence. In a rage he stormed out of the building.
His hot head had forced the outcome and he needed some time to cool down. Liam didn't believe Bale would physically harm Allison, but in Bale's present state of mind, Liam worried the other agent would want to interrogate her in his own personal style and no doubt scare the hell out of her. Liam wasn't about to let that happen. Phillips assured him Bale would be calm and sensible by morning. Until then, no one was going to get near her.
"I'll drive," he said, stepping out into the hallway.
Allison draped her coat over her arm and followed. "Okay, then," she said.
It seemed the most natural thing in the world for her hand to be in his, but once they reached the car, her self-conscious insecurities took over and she quickly let go. She told him whom the party was for and asked if he needed directions to the Hamilton Hotel.
He smiled. "I know where it is. I'm staying there."
Impressed, she commented, "It's very elegant."
"Yes, it is." He didn't add the fact that Alec's wife and her brothers owned the Hamilton Hotels and that they had insisted that Liam stay there.
In the car, Liam went over some of the points he didn't like in Phillips's contract, and although she tried, Allison found it impossible to pay attention. Her mind kept wandering off in another direction, to fantasies of a more carnal nature. She couldn't stop herself from picturing him naked-she decided she wouldn't be normal if she didn't-and what a glorious memory that was. She remembered touching him and trailing her fingertips across his broad shoulders. She sighed inside, just thinking of his hard-as-steel muscles below his warm skin. She had to admit to herself that she loved touching him.
She was thankful he hadn't mentioned the fact that they had had sex the night before. When he'd shown up at her door, she was shocked and nearly speechless. She was also . . . joyful. A silly word, she decided, but it exactly defined how she felt. She had thought she wouldn't see him again for months or maybe not ever because her work for him was done, and he traveled all over the world putting out fires. She had almost convinced herself that she was fine with that. Lots of people shared a night of passion and then moved on without complications. She could be one of those people. She was sure of it. Or was she? She didn't seem to know her own mind anymore.
"What do you think?"
His question jarred her. "About what?"
Exasperated, he said, "The contract. Haven't you heard a word I've said?"
She saw no reason to bluff her way through. "No, I haven't."
He glanced over at her, saw her smile, and shook his head. "I'm trying to help you."
"I know you are."
"Then maybe you want to pay attention?"
He pulled up to the valet in the circle drive and put the car in park. Two attendants hurried forward to open their doors.
Stepping into the hotel was like entering another world, one that was stately and yet chic. Similar to the other Hamilton Hotels, the design blended old-world charm with contemporary touches here and there. The marble floors gleamed, and a stunning staircase with a mahogany banister curved up like a grand ribbon to the mezzanine overlooking the lobby. Vases filled with fresh flowers were on every table. All of the Hamilton Hotels were renowned for their sophistication. What separated this hotel from the others was the original artwork depicting scenes from Boston's colorful history on each wall.
Sounding a bit awkward and out of place, Allison whispered as though she were in a church, "It's beautiful, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is," he agreed. "Haven't you been here before?"
"Yes and no," she replied.
They had stopped just inside the entrance. Allison turned to him and tried to explain. "Yes, I have been here before, just once a couple of years ago, but I was working then, and when I work I sort of . . . disappear. The photo shoot was in one of the gardens. As soon as the chaos starts-you know, the different gowns and the makeup and hair-I turn into a mannequin."
He laughed. "A mannequin? You'd never pass for a mannequin. Too many curves," he explained as he took her arm and crossed the lobby. "What does 'sort of disappear' mean?"
She shrugged. "I zone out and work problems, write code."
"In your head."
"Yes. It's like daydreaming, and people do that all the time, so stop looking at me like I'm crazy. Don't you ever daydream?"

protection, has ever met with succour and security, beneath the arm of the Roumeliot Klefti. "In the Morea, a closer connexion with the Turks, and various minor causes, have produced a character less amiable and exalted. The greater weight of their chains has rendered them crouching and servile; and no where are the traces of slavery more visible, or more disgusting, than in the cringing, treacherous, low-spirited Moreot; who is, nevertheless, not totally divested of affection, gratitude, and a hospitable wish to share his matand humble meal with the stranger. In the Messenians, or natives of the south-western coast, the traits of debasement are peculiarly perceptible. It would appear that, from the earliest period, these unfortunate people had been doomed to be the scape-goats of the Peloponnesus, formerly ravaged by the Lacedaemonians. They have, in latter times, fled to the mountains of Sparta, for protection from the Turks. Slothful and indolent by nature, they treat their wives with a want of feeling unequalled in Greece: and, while the sluggish master squats at his ease, to smoke his pipe and sip his coffee, the unfortunate females perform all the drudgery of agriculture, and all the weightier domestic duties. Two singular exceptions are, however, to be found in the Morea; the inhabitants of the district of Lalla, in Elis, and those of Maina, in the south-eastern promontory. The former are a colony of the Schypetan, or bandit peasantry,
'of Albania; who, for many ages,
have been settled in this spot, and, during the reign of the Venetians, rendered them important service against the Turks: but in general were as prejudical to the Greeks After the failure of the Russian expedition in 1770, they were joined by a fresh party of their countrymen, who had likewise abjured Mohammedanism; and, though they turned their attention in some degree to agriculture, were principally maintained by their ravages on the properties and crops of their neighbours; with whom they never mingled, either in marriage, or even in common interest. Thus, to the present hour, they have lived a pure Albanian colony in the very heart of the Morea; retaining all the ferocity and predatory habits of their forefathers, and a valour which has been , often conspicuously proved in the scenes of the present revolution. . "Of the Mainotes, the descendants of the ancient Spartans, much has been written, and yet but little is known; the difficulty of penetrating into a country inhabited by a bandit peasantry, pirates by profession, has opposed an insuperable bar to the investigation of travellers. Those, however, who have succeeded in becoming acquainted with their habits, represent them as possessed of the common virtue of barbarians— hospitality, and an unconquered bravery; but disgraced by numerous vices; and all, without exception, robbers by sea or land."
as the Mussulmans.
* Of their internal disputes, the following story is still related in the islands:—Two
Mainotes, who had long shared, in common, the produce of their plunderings, chanced
at length to quarrel about the division of the booty of a Venetian brig. Burning with
resentment, both dreamed but of mutual vengeance; and one, (Theodore), seizing on 4 &
"As to the Grecian army, the habits of the body who compose it, and the system by which it is regulated, are equally singular. Its commanders or capatani are such landholders, or others who possess a sufficient sum to maintain from 10 to 150 soldiers, and adequate interest to procure a commission for embodying them. These leaders, however, are in general the most despicable and the worst enemies of their country; making their rank and interest merely the instruments of their avarice. The number of troops in the Morea, for whom the government issue pay and rations, is stated to be, in general, about 25,000; but I do not believe, from all that I can learn, that in any instance they have equalled the half of that number; the capitani making their returns to the extent of their credit, and in general pocketing one-half of the demanded sum. So that a man who claims pay for 150 soldiers, cannot, perhaps, bring 80 into the field. Of this system of fraud the government are well aware; but, in the present state of affairs, they are so much in the power of the capitani, that no compulsive measures dare to be taken to produce a reform. Each sol
dier, or palikari, on joining his capitani is expected to come furnished with his arms and capote: the former usually consist of a pair of pistols, an ataghan, a tophaic, or long gun, and sometimes a sabre. They are, however, bound by no laws or military regulations, and merely follow or obey a leader, as long as well paid or comfortable in his service; he having no power to enforce obedience during his almost nominal command, or to compel his soldiers, beyond the limit of their pleasure, to remain under his orders. It is no unusual thing for the company of a capitan to assemble round his quarters, for the purpose of tumultuously demanding, and enforcing by the bastinado, an increase or arrears of pay; or, on the eve of an important movement, to find that his soldiers have gone off during the night, to attend to the safety of their families, or the celebration of a festival. As to their conduct in the field, they will never oppose an enemy, unless obliged by necessity, without the shelter of their tambours or low trenches; or without crouching behind a rock, from whence they can have a protected aim at their foe. The Turks too, have something of the same system in their irregular warfare; and before the introduction of regular troops into the Morea, a battle must have presented a novel spectacle, where not a soul of either army was distinctly visible. Thus, screened behind a stone, they lie in wait to catch the first moment when an enemy shall expose himself, or placing their scalpae, or skull-cap, on an adjoining rock to decoy the Turk, take an advantageous aim at him whilst he is wasting his powder on the empty head-dress of his enemy. When the Greek has thus thinned all within his range, and wishes to change his position, he watches for the favourable movement, when, snatching up his gun, he nimbly skips to the adjoining rock, flashing his shining ataghan before him in the sun-beams, to dazzle the aim of his surrounding enemies; and here, crouching on the ground and placing his cap as usual, he recommences his operations. Amongst the Turks who resided in the Morea, all were not so desperately bad as are supposed, and some few have even gained the affections of the Greeks. It not unfrequently occurs that two old neighbours meet in one of those singular encounters, when, rising from their screens, they hold a parley on their own affairs; and again part to resume, at their posts, their mutual slaughter of their friend's companions. Such scenes serve to keep in countenance Homer's description of the dialogues of his contending heroes; but, in fact, instances of ancient manners are to be met with every hour, and at every step something occurs to remind us that we are in Greece." The discipline of the navy, and
the wife of his companion, (Anapleottis), carried her on board a Maltese corsair, stationed in the bay, for the purpose of selling her, to make up his defective share of the plunder. The Maltese, after long intreaty on the part of the Greek, refused to purchase her at so high a price, as, he said, that he had just procured another at a much cheaper rate; whom, at the request of Theodore, he produced for his inspection. She was brought forward, and, to the confusion of the Mainote, proved to be his own wife, his accomplice having anticipated him, and disposed of his spouse two hours before. He, however, concealed his chagrin, and gave Anapleotti's wife for the proffered price of the Maltese, and returned on shore; where he met his quondam ally, apprized of his loss, and thirsting for vengeance. The worthy friends were not long, however, in coming to an understanding. Without arousing suspicion, they went together on board the Maltese, and, without much ceremony, forced him to restore the wives of both. This complied with, and satisfied with their mutual revenge, which had proved a mutual gain, they again returned; and, as firmly united as ever, continued, in common, their former desperate
calling.
money-making system of most of its commanders, are exactly similar to those of the army, in which there are about three hundred speculating generals, and from 12 to 15,000 men!!! Of the moral condition of Greece, in a most important relation, we select the following example. Mr. E. writes as follows:– "In the beauty of the Grecian females I must confess that I have been disappointed: they have beautiful black hair, sparkling eyes, and ivory teeth, but they seem to have lost the graceful cast of countenance which we denominate Grecian; and their figures are peculiarly clumsy, occasioned by their sedentary habits and slight attention to dress: a delicate and even sickly air, and an inanimate expression, seem their most striking characteristies; these, however, differ in various districts. The Moreot ladies are far inferior in personal attractions to the Roumeliots; who again yield the palm to the Hydriots and Spezziots: these are in turn excelled by the Sciots; and the Smirniots, by their more civilized manners and graceful dress, are much more beautiful than all the others. Their costume varies in point of richness and fashion in every island, but is always tastelessly large, and by no means calculated to display a good figure. With the exception of Hydra and the Ionian Isles, their husbands have nothing swerved from the barbarous customs of the Turks in the treatment of their women. Secluded in their own apartments, occupied in embroidery, or other mechanical employment, they are never allowed to cross their thresholds except on festivals, or some other particular particular occasion; and even then as if it were by stealth, and closely veiled. Under these circumstances, however, the buoyancy and lightness of their spirits are displayed to peculiar advantage: continually gay and never repining, their days pass in a round of trifles; singing, music, and a few amusements, in which the male part of the family have no share, serving to wile away the tedious hours of their monotonous existence. Like the men, they are strongly influenced by superstition, and no undertaking, either before or after marriage, is entered on without consulting a charm or a fortune-teller. Dreams and their interpretations are rigidly attended to, and faithfully followed. For the purpose of ascertaining the quality of their future husbands, the young girls are accustomed to perform numerous ceremonies; one is to eat, just before retiring to rest, a supper composed of certain herbs, collected at a particular season, and under the direction of a skilful diviner; then, on laying down, to attach to their necks a bag containing three flowers, a white, a red, and, a yellow. In the morning, whichever of these flowers is first drawn from the bag, denominates the age of the destined husband. If white, he is of course young; if red, middle-aged; and if yellow, old; whilst at the same time the dreams procured by the herbs, declare whether their days, during marriage, shall be happy or the reverse. In both sexes, the total want of personal cleanliness is peculiarly remarkable; a clean shirt on a Greek, being only to be met with on a festival; and his junctanella, instead of being the 'snowy camise' of Childe
Harold, is in general any thing but snowy. Of the ladies too, a French traveller has remarked, with some justice, that their linen, which is so frequently sprinkled with otto of roses, and other costly perfumes, would be much more benefited by an aspersion of clean water. Vermin, of the most nauseous description, are found in myriads on their persons, especially on those of the soldiers, and make but a sorry figure amongst the embroidery of their laced jackets. "The degraded state into which we find religion sunk amongst the Greeks, is solely attributable to the infamous conduct and characters of the priesthood; for the population, though they but too closely imitate the practice of their pastors, still retain their veneration for their creed untainted."
7. Journal of a Residence and Travels in Colombia, during the years 1823 and 1824. B Capt. C. Stuart Cochrane, R.N.
The rising importance of South America to British capital, enterprize, and commerce, has often been alluded to. Captain Cochrane, a warm admirer of Colombia and its independence, appears to have gone out to survey its capabilities for increased intercourse, trade, and mining, pearl fishing, and other projects. His work touches upon several of these ; and we hear a good deal, not only of pursuits which may be adopted, but of undertakings actually planned, appropriated, and commenced. Thus we are told of
the congress of 1824, "In the last sitting there was a law passed, granting the exclusive right of the pearl fishery of Colombia, for ten years, to Messrs. Rundell, Bridge, and Rundell, of London, being the most valuable grant which the government has yet bestowed, and which I considered inferior to none, except the cutting the isthmus of Panama, so as to form a communication, by steam vessels, between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans; which I have ascertained, from accurate survey, to be perfectly practicable, and have in consequence formed a company in Bogota, who are to lay before the ensuing congress proposals to that effect. "Colonel Johnston, and Mr. Thompson, have jointly obtained a grant of the most famous salt mines of the country, which they intend working on the most improved European method. This will add considerably to the revenues of the state, and yield them, I trust, a handsome reward for their exertions." Near Chiquinquera.--"We now used all our interest to procure good fresh mules, in order to visit the celebrated emerald mines of Muso, but could not succeed; we, however, were introduced to a very intelligent friar who had lately seen them, who informed us, that formerly, in the time of the Spaniards, they were most productive, and easily wrought, some being on the surface, and others worked by horizontal excavations; the chief mine worked in the latter manner had caught fire from not being properly ventilated, and continued burning for two years. This, together with the commencing of the revolution, put an end to the work of the mines. Small emeralds are so plentiful, that it is a common thing to purchase
poultry merely to kill them in search of emeralds, which they are fond of; several are often found in the entrails of a large fowl, and sometimes in a very pure and perfect state, though most generally flawed and very small, consequently of no intrinsic value, and only kept as curiosities. The very favourable account we received, determined us to endeavour to procure from the government a grant of the whole of the mines, and to have them immediately put in work. Senor Rivero and myself elected our friend Pepe Paris, from his influence with the government, to carry the same into effect.* . . . . "There is a still more desirable plan of uniting the two oceans through the Isthmus of Panama, where two rivers may be connected by a canal, cut through a level valley, about a league and a half. This junction would enable steam vessels to pass from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean;and previously to quitting Bogota, I formed a plan for a company to be established in England for effecting this, which will be laid before the ensuing congress." These, however, are only a few of the designs for settling agricultural districts; working gold, silver, copper, and platina mines; draining lakes, and other improvements which attracted his observation: there is hardly a point which he does not view as susceptible of being made to yield a prodigious increase of wealth to industry and proper cultivation. At first, one great drawback seems to exist: it is described in the

THATTA: Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif Thursday announced launch of a new phase of development in Sindh and vowed to bring modern basic facilities for its neglected rural areas.
Addressing a large public gathering here the prime minister announced a number of development projects for Thatta, Sajawal and Tando Mohammad Khan aimed at building better road network, healthcare facilities and provision of electricity and natural gas.
He said the federal government would spend Rs 1.1b billion for the development of these areas.
He said though it was the duty of provincial government to provide basic facilities, however it would be his privilege to serve his people, across the country.
The prime minister vowed 'reconstruction' of the province to provide better facilities to the people.
He announced construction of a 500-bed hospital in Thatta, launch of his healthcare card scheme for Thatta, Sajawal and Tando Mohammad Khan, provision of electricity and natural gas for district Sajawal and Thatta.
"I do what I say. I am not one of those who listen to demands and forget. I am here with my entire team, to deliver," the prime minister said.
He said the federal government had already launched its Health Care Card Scheme in Islamabad Capital Territory, Punjab, Gilgit Baltistan, FATA and Balochistan, however the governments of Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa said they would launch their own health care schemes.
He, however, announced the scheme for the poor people of Thatta, Sajawal and Tando Mohammad Khan so that they could get free medical treatment.
He, referring to the issue of land erosion by the Sea, announced construction of a protection dam for Thatta, Sajawal and Badin and said it would have long term positive impact for the entire region, adding he had already directed a feasibility study for the project.
The prime minister also directed the National Highway Authority for construction of Gharro-Keti Bandar Road and announced release of Rs 500 million for the project.
He said funds for construction of 50 kms of farm to city roads would also be provided by the federal government.

The long awaited film about Marc-André Leclerc is on its way, and Red Bull Media House alongside Sender Films has released the trailer. Leclerc was one of the best alpinists of his generation—soloing Mt. Robson, Cerro Torre, and Mt. Slesse, to name but a few—before his tragic death in 2018.
Climbing reached out to filmmaker Austin Siadak, who, while on an expedition in Kyrgyzstan, generously used his limited connections to answer our questions. Read on for Siadak's stories and the trailer below.
What was your role in the film?
SIADAK: I was a cinematographer for the Patagonia section of the film, and filmed with Marc on Torre Egger to capture re-creation footage of his solo of Titanic. I also gave feedback on storyline and edits as the film progressed through the editing process.
Why did you want to work on this project?
I wanted to work on this project because Marc was a friend of mine and I had a lot of respect for his climbing and really just for him as a friend and human being. I also have climbed a lot in Patagonia personally, and love spending time in that part of the world. It was a treat to be able to work in a place that I enjoy so much with a good friend alongside. I've worked a lot with Sender Films and I was excited that they didn't want Marc and I to go "full Hollywood" with our filming on Egger, with a huge production team and helicopters and whatnot. In the end I flew by myself down to Argentina and we did everything as a small team of two, capturing what we could given the limitations of such a small crew. But I felt that we stayed closer to the authentic nature of the way Marc approached his climbing, which comes across in the film in moments that are very real.
Can you describe your time climbing and filming with Marc in Patagonia?
Honestly it was very real. In the end we climbed Torre Egger over two days, filming along the way. Egger is a pretty tough mountain to climb under any conditions, but especially when you are stopping to pull out the camera, get into position, and film someone re-climbing pitches. There was little room for error or mistakes, but I felt that we operated really well and efficiently as a team. I remember laughing a lot during the climb, it was pretty cool to be so far out there, but feeling capable and psyched with such an amazing partner. We summitted in a growing storm, and rappelled in high winds and clouds through the night. I was definitely pretty scared at a couple moments. It definitely didn't feel like we belonged there anymore. But Marc was so in his element.
One time a rope got stuck during the descent. And while I fumbled around for my GriGri to belay him up to free it, he simply unclipped from the anchor and soloed 5.8 in his boots and crampons at 2am, 2000 feet up Torre Egger, freed the rope and down climbed back to me. We landed back down on the glacier as the sun rose over the Fitz Massif to the east, our second sunrise of the day, and we smiled and hugged and passed out in our tent.
It was surprisingly not that nerve wracking to film him solo. I know how solid Marc was, and the pitches we filmed on were very much within his wheelhouse. Also when you have a job to do, and are concerned with being in the right position, making sure your composition and settings are all correct, etc, it kind of removes you from the reality of the situation. But I do remember being able to take a step back at some points and think "Wow, this is fucking nuts." In retrospect I've been more concerned long after the fact, when I think about how little room for error there was. If Marc had fallen at any point, I would have been stuck way up Egger with a small rack and only one rope, and I likely would have instantly been in a fight for survival to even get off the mountain myself.
What is your favorite part of the film?
My favorite part of the film is the fact that it acknowledges Marc's death in a way that is somber but not depressing. The story celebrates his life and how he approached his life in a way that is inspiring and aspirational, and I feel just about anyone can relate to it, and so I am excited to see how audiences respond when it comes out. Also, the soloing footage is just mind bending. I thought my hands were sweating when I watched Free Solo, but The Alpinist has moments where it is truly edge-of-your-seat, jaw-dropping disbelief.

If you are looking for Sixers info, we're here to help. A little.
Sixers CEO Adam Aron swung on by CSNPhilly.com for the Lunch Break segment and let out a few details. Like if you were a better man you might bet on Jan. 6 being the first Philly home game (which is tough, the Sixers spend the first couple weeks of the season on the road). If you're looking for free agent insights, this may not be the video for you.
Aron also talks about the mascots. We'll let you make your own decisions on those. We don't want to color your opinion.
Is Thaddeus Young worth a big free agent contract?
If you are a general manager looking for a guy to gamble on in this free agency period, Thaddeus Young might be the call.
He is 22, can play either forward spot, is an athletic slasher with the ball and can finish around the rim, last season showed more mature selection, plus he can defend. He took a step forward last year as the Philadelphia sixth man and he was one reason they made the playoffs. There's reasons PBT had him No. 5 on our top free agents list, even though he is restricted.
The Sixers extended a $3.9 million qualifying offer to Young and can match any offer that comes in for him. But they are worried about keeping him, tweets Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated.
Hearing the Sixers are very nervous about someone swooping in with a big offer for Thaddeus Young. Young's stock soared last season.
The Sixers are just under the salary cap right now at $54 million, so they have some room to match an offer to Young, they will not go that far to do it. He's a guy the Sixers want back but they have other priorities.
Young has said he wants to stay with the Sixers, but if a big offer rolls in….
This is a guy to watch — some team with cap space and in need of a forward may well make a run at him. And it would be a smart risk.
The 76ers anthropomorphized rabbit mascot named Hip Hop who came on the scene in the Allen Iverson era to the thrill of nobody has gone the way of the Dodo bird.
The new owners of the 76ers surveyed their season ticket holders and were looking for ways to improve the game-night experience. (One might suggest the best way to do that right now is to have games.) What fans wanted was the rabbit mascot to disappear, like Jimmy Hoffa.
And so it is done, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. But don't think that the 76ers will be without a mascot.
To spare the sensibilities of the one or two children who weren't scared to death by the rabbit, the team will say that Hip Hop fell in love, married and moved away to start a family. Apparently, it either was that or announce that they were going to boil him in a pot on a really big stove in a remake of "Fatal Attraction"….
The task of coming up with a replacement for Hip Hop will fall to two firms specializing in the business. One is Jim Henson's Creature Shop, which began as the workshop of the late creator of the Muppets. The other is Raymond Entertainment Group, whose founder is Dave Raymond, the original Phillie Phanatic.
Do the 76ers really need a mascot? Well, as long as it isn't an anthropomorphized cheese steak, we'll give it a chance.
There are times I feel like we are going a little Fox Mulder with the lockout, trying to find signs that it is about to end where no such sign exists.
And then there are things that just hit you over the head.
Like the emails sent to employees of the Nets and 76ers, as reported at Deadspin.
The New Jersey Nets ticket sales office, idle for most of the fall, is holding a series of hastily called meetings today under the theme "Be Ready." One staffer tells us that a department-wide email has been circulated, instructing employees that "it's time to get back to work." The short-staffed 76ers' team office has been told that Monday will be "all hands on deck," as per orders from the league.
Yes, these kind of letters have gone out from several teams earlier in the lockout, trying to keep employees on their toes. Yes, there are still big issues to be solved — BRI and luxury tax issues. Yes, one should never underestimate the power of Dan Gilbert to screw a good thing up.
That said, I think pretty soon we will be talking basketball, not lockout. Which would be a nice change of pace.

Initials carved into Trees at Gino's Drive-In
Initials were occasionally carved into groves of trees at Gino's Drive-In, along the Lincoln Highway in Springettsbury Township. A small grove of trees was situated east of Gino's, bordering, and within, the Lincoln Woods Inn parking lot; however a larger grove of trees was located to the south of Gino's. The larger grove was removed when Eastern Boulevard was extended to pass behind Gino's in the early 1970s.
Gary Wentz admitted to adding his initials, and those of the girl he was dating, to a tree in the smaller grove; during one of their frequent visits to Gino's. Gary viewed the video containing many of J. David Allen's aerial photos, in Collections of Springettsbury Township Historic Preservation Committee, and inquired if the collection included any photos showing the small grove of trees situated east of Gino's.
The introductory, September 5, 1962, J. David Allen aerial photo looks southeast in Springettsbury Township, York County, PA. In the lower left is the entrance to the York County Shopping Center from the Lincoln Highway East (East Market Street). In the upper right is the original Gino's Drive-In structure at 2500 East Market Street. At the top is the small grove of trees; which contained sets of carved initials.
At the lower right, in the September 5, 1962 aerial photo, the parking lot for Hill's Department Store is under construction. Hill's Grand Opening occurred two months later, on November 15, 1962.
The September 5, 1962 aerial photo shows the "circled 15-cents" on the Gino's sign, for their 15-cent hamburgers. It was probably within days of being covered, since Gino's acquired the franchise for Kentucky Fried Chicken in the middle-Atlantic states during the summer of 1962.
Large KFC plastic buckets were attached to the "circled 15-cents" parts of the Gino's sign as shown in the following September 8, 1965, westward view of Gino's Drive-In Restaurant at 2500 East Market Street.

The following April 20, 1961, full-page ad, in The Gazette and Daily, announced: The Grand Opening of Gino's Drive-In Restaurant, at 2500 East Market Street in Springettsbury Township, York County, PA, will occur Thursday evening April 20, 1961 at 7:00 P.M. Gino Marchetti and Alan Ameche were present to autograph pictures.
April 20, 1961, full-page ad, in The Gazette and Daily, announces: The Grand Opening of Gino's Drive-In Restaurant, at 2500 East Market Street in Springettsbury Township, York County, PA, will occur Thursday evening April 20, 1961 at 7:00 P.M. Gino Marchetti and Alan Ameche were present to autograph pictures.
The original Gino's Drive-In structure at 2500 East Market Street, shown in the initial photos and ad, did not include dine-in seating. The dine-in Gino's, at that location, was constructed in 1971. It was built to the immediate rear of the original structure.
When the dine-in Gino's was opened, the original structure was torn down, creating additional parking spaces. That was also the time when the larger grove was removed from the south end of Gino's lot; to make way for the dine-in restaurant, and so a rear entrance and exit to Eastern Boulevard could be established.
In response to sharing the September 5, 1962, aerial photo with Gary, he appreciated being able to point out the precise tree associated with a treasured story often told by his late wife. Within that response, Gary Wentz also shared a tale related to Gino Marchetti and made some observations in response to my post of last week: When the York Roses defeated the Ravens in Pro Football.
In that post, I observed the 1946 York Roses Football Team did not include any Black players. I wondered how many Black players played York High Varsity Football that year, and was surprised to discover only two Black players appeared in the team photo within the school yearbook (1947 Tatler, page 185). During the 1947 season, Wilbur Hunter, of York, is the first Black player to join the York Roses Football Team, and during the 1949 season, the number of Black players on the White Roses Football Team increases with the arrival of Barney Ewell; joining Wilbur Hunter.
In looking for a photo of Gino Marchetti, during the first year he played in Baltimore, Gary Wentz observed the Baltimore Colts included two Black players during 1953; via his discovery of a team photo on a colts web site:
Baltimore Colts 1953 Team Photo: Number – Player POSITION. Front Row (L to R): 26-Ed Mioduszewski QB; 73-Joe Campanella RT; 31-Buck McPhail FB-K; 81-Art Spinney LDE; 60-Sisto Averno MLB; 82-Dan Edwards RE; 44-Bert Rechichar K; 65-Bill Pellington LLB; 66-Bill Lang RG.

(Source: https://www.colts.com/photos/horseshoe-history-team-photos)
The Black players on the 1953 Baltimore Colts Football Team were George Taliaferro and Mel Embree. Gary remembered reading George Taliaferro and Gino Marchetti remained good friends after their football careers. Gary Wentz provided text from The Baltimore Sun article of October 10, 2018, entitled: "Colts star George Taliaferro, the first black player drafted by the NFL, dies." Quoting from that article:
"Taliaferro, the first black player ever drafted by the NFL and a star for the Colts in 1953, died Monday in Mason, Ohio. He was 91. A three-time All American at Indiana, he was a 13th-round pick of the Chicago Bears in 1949 but signed instead with the Los Angeles Dons of the rival All-America Football Conference. When that league failed, a year later, Taliaferro signed with the New York Yanks, who became the Dallas Texans, who became the [Baltimore] Colts in 1953. Late in the 1953 season, George Taliaferro was pressed into duty at quarterback, he became the first black player to start at that position in the NFL."
In the following zoomed-in section of the Baltimore Colts 1953 Team Photo, George Taliaferro is number 20 and Gino Marchetti is number 75.

(Source: https://www.colts.com/photos/horseshoe-history-team-photos)
The Baltimore Sun article of October 10, 2018, reported: "Sixty-five years have passed, but Gino Marchetti remembers first meeting George Taliaferro, then a Colts running back."
"I arrived late for a team banquet [in Baltimore], and I saw this black guy sitting at a table by himself," Marchetti said. "I said, 'Mind if I sit here?' He said, 'OK.' "
Afterward, Taliaferro turned to the big defensive end and said, "I want to thank you."
"For what," Marchetti asked.
"For sitting with me," his teammate said.
"That was George," said Marchetti, 92, a Pro Football Hall of Famer. "He was a quiet guy who didn't make any noise — except on the field when he got the ball."
"He was a hell of a football player," Marchetti said, "and a hell of a nice guy."

The nucleus is a positively charged core located at the centre of the atom. Almost the entire mass of the atom is concentrated in its nucleus.
A nucleus consists mainly of two types of particles , protons and neutrons. Collectively these two particles are sometimes called as nucleons .
(i) Atomic Number:– It is the number of protons present in the nucleus. It is also equal to the number of electrons in the neutral atom.
(ii) Mass Number :– Total number of protons and neutrons is the mass number. If atomic number of an atom is Z, number of neutrons present in the nucleus of the atom is N, then its mass number can be given by the expression, A = Z + N, where A = mass number.
(i) Isotopes:– Nuclei having same atomic number but different mass number are called isotopes of each other.
(ii) Isobars:– Nuclei having same mass number but different atomic number are called isobars.
(iii) Isotones:– Nuclei having same number of neutrons, but different atomic number and mass number are called isotones.


Remanufacturing means making something to its original specification, using a combination of reused and repaired elements as well as new parts. It is used in products ranging from photocopiers to military vehicles – and it's perfect for office furniture.
Remanufacturing is not the same as refurbishing. Refurbished furniture has had work done on key problems, such as replacing worn upholstery, while remanufactured office furniture is disassembled and rebuilt according to the original design.
The photocopier industry was an early adopter of remanufacturing; if you have a photocopier by Ricoh, Fuji, Xerox and Kyocera, then the chances are you already have a remanufactured item in your office.
And in many important ways, remanufactured is actually better than new, particularly for office furniture.
Remanufacturing checks, resurfaces and redeploys the long-life components of furniture (like steel frames), which are expensive to make from virgin resources. So remanufactured furniture is typically less than half the cost of new, with no loss of quality. Working with Rype Office you can also save on office layout design (we do this for free) and we will take back the furniture we provide for further remanufacturing, saving you disposal costs. See our blog on How to Halve your Office Furniture Bill.
Remanufactured furniture can be tailored for your office – from colours & finishes to sizing to maximise occupancy without affecting user comfort. Combine your existing furniture (remanufactured, of course) with externally sourced remanufactured pieces and sustainable new items to benefit from the latest trends.
We remanufacture office furniture brands with timeless aesthetics, proven durability and great ergonomics like Vitra, Orangebox, Giroflex and Senator, using materials from leading suppliers including Camira and Egger. Our rigorous testing and inspection enables us to warrant our parts and workmanship. We are so confident in the quality of our furniture we offer to buy it back when you no longer need it.
Remanufacturing reduces embodied GHG emissions and waste, so is recognised with BREEAM and LEED credits. Because remanufacturing occurs locally, it creates UK jobs, including for disabled and long-term unemployed for whom remanufacturing is ideally suited. And the disassembly and assembly required creates twice as many jobs as assembling from virgin materials. For our clients we provide a Sustainability Benefits Report to share with employees, customers and the world.
Remanufactured furniture often has a story. For example, we provided our client Public Health Wales with desks from the Bond movie Spectre. Client NAOS has Italian leather sofas formerly sat on by billionaires visiting a leading private equity firm who had the sofas in their reception.
Remanufacturing improves the national balance of payments – which means we are sending less of our country's wealth overseas. Resource security is improved because so we rely less for our prosperity on the supply of virgin materials from other countries. It also creates jobs, stimulating the national economy and increasing the tax base to benefit everyone.

Many Gay Men Would Support 'Home HIV Test': Study
Health, Safety & Testing
FRIDAY, Feb. 10 (HealthDay News) — Many gay men who regularly have risky sex would be willing to ask partners to use a new, rapid-result HIV test, a new study shows.
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.
The tests, which use a mouth swab and detect HIV antibodies in less than 20 minutes, are currently used in testing clinics across the United States. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of the tests for public use is pending, according to the researchers at the HIV Center at Columbia Psychiatry and the New York State Psychiatric Institute.
The researchers interviewed 57 gay and bisexual men, aged 18 and older, who said they had multiple male partners and rarely or never used condoms. Most of the men said they liked the idea of using the test kits to screen sexual partners.
The researchers also found that most of the men said they would likely ask partners to take an HIV test and might consider safe sex measures if the partner's response raised doubts about his HIV status.
The study was slated for online publication in February in the Journal of Sex Research.
The tests do not detect the initial, acute stage of HIV infection that lasts for a few weeks, but "for men who are already having a high level of unprotected intercourse with multiple partners, access to a rapid HIV test that can be performed at home may prove to be a valuable harm-reduction tool," principal investigator Alex Carballo-Dieguez, a clinical psychologist, said in a Columbia news release.
The researchers noted that an HIV home test could also protect heterosexual people who have risky sex.

Shortly after her marriage to shoemaker Thomas J. Bata, Sonja Bata developed a keen interest in understanding the shoemaking business. As the Bata Shoe Organization grew internationally, the couple travelled extensively and at each distant destination Mrs. Bata became fascinated by how traditional footwear varied from region to region and how these differences reflected a diversity of needs both cultural and physical. Everything from material use to decorative techniques intrigued her and she felt that through the study of traditional shoemaking her understanding of the world's cultures would be enriched.
However, Mrs. Bata's desire to learn about traditional shoemaking came at a time of incredible global change which challenged the viability of traditional craftsmanship around the world. The Bata Shoe Museum Foundation was established in the effort to gather accurate and detailed information concerning traditional shoemaking. Over the years, researchers have traveled from Siberia to India documenting traditional shoemaking practices and collecting both images and artefacts for the Museum. Each of these field trips has brought a wealth of in-depth information and artefacts into the Museum thus preserving footwear-making traditions that are slowly disappearing. The voices of the makers, the images of their processes and the artefacts themselves continue to amaze us with how disparate traditional footwear is and how reflective it is of the diversity of world cultures. This exhibition allowed earn from the voices of the makers, see the images of their processes and amaze in the diversity of traditional footwear reflecting a variety of world cultures.
Marken is a small island in The Netherlands renowned for its intricately carved wedding clogs. In times past, grooms would carve delicate designs on clogs while away at sea fishing as gifts for their betrothed. The museum holds three pairs of clogs worn by a woman in Marken in the 19th century: her decoratively painted clogs for church, her intricately carved wedding clogs and her somber clogs for funerals.
This pair of juttis comes from Punjab and features lavishly embroidered uppers using an intricate chainstitch typical to the region. The heavy leather soles of these juttis are also a locus of decorative stitching. Women are traditionally responsible for doing the embroidery that decorates juttis. The jutti-making process was documented in a field trip that added both artefacts and information to the Museum's rich Indian holdings and was highlighted in the book and exhibition Feet and Footwear in Indian Culture.
The Inuit wear from two to five layers of footwear depending on the temperature, ground conditions, and activities they perform. These four possible layers of footwear are displayed in the order in which they are put on: inner slipper, outer stocking, boot, over-slipper. These Iglulik Inuit boots were made for The Decorated Moccasin Competition by Olepa Karpik and won Special Prize.
The frigid temperatures of the circumpolar region inhabited by the Saami make suitable footwear of particular importance. This pair of reindeer skin boots, made by Kristen Losoa, is a style of boot which is worn by both men and women but Kristen Losoa made these for herself. The boots feature the upturned toes that characterize traditional Saami footwear as well as center seams down the soles of the boots so that the hair on the soles can increase traction and they are decorated with felt appliqué in a lively pattern.
The final stages of making a pair of jipsin require the use of wooden forms to replicate the shape of a foot. When all of the loops have been caught, the cord is secured and the jipsin are finished. Despite the intricacy of the weaving and the care taken in the making, a pair of jipsin wears out very quickly. A traveler would typically lash a few pairs of jipsin onto his belt to ensure he had shoes for his entire journey.
Traditionally Maasai sandals were cut from un-tanned cowhide - including the straps to hold the sandal to the foot. Women are responsible for preparing the hides but sandals themselves are made by both men and women. This pair of rawhide sandals was collected by Mrs. Bata near the Rift Valley in Kenya.
