Year 13 pupil Sam Higgins represented the country as part of the Independent Schools Barbarians U18 National rugby squad, in an impressive first match against Irish Exiles.
The Barbarians beat the Irish Exiles 55 points to 17 at KEQMS on Sunday 23nd January in their first game of the season with Sam scoring 'an excellent breakaway try'.
The squad is made up of the best rugby players from Independent Schools in the country including Cheltenham College, Portsmouth Grammar and Woodhouse Grove School. Sam was chosen after impressing selectors while playing for the North squad earlier in the year at the ISB Divisional Championships at Moseley RFC.
The Barbarians next match will be against the Crawshay's Welsh U19s on 5 February at the Glamorgan Wanderers' ground.

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - COD: Advanced Warfare or Halo: MCC?
I feel like playing a new game. Which should I buy?
I have COD: AW on PS4. Let me put it this way: I played the hell out of MW2, MW3, and BO2. Like, months and months on each game. I played AW for about a week and a half, and I'm not interested in playing it again.
The multiplayer has some major lag issues, probably the worst lag I've experienced in any COD game. And it just doesn't have that addictive feel of past COD games. It just feels like a laggy rehash of the same old game.
The PC version of AW has dropped from a peak of 35,000 users on November 9th to a current level of 14,400. In THREE WEEKS.
Not really big onto video games but all the Call of Duty games seem to be "arcade" style games made for ADHD idiots.
ARMA (or the older Flashpoint titles) are a lot better.
World of Warcraft Warlords of Draenor.
I generally don't pimp video games. Yes, it's that good.
I picked up a used COD. I was told I could return it to put toward Halo within 7 days. Time to get some hours in!


There is no question that high urban densities are important, but the question is how high, and in what form. There is what I have called the Goldilocks density: dense enough to support vibrant main streets with retail and services for local needs, but not too high that people can't take the stairs in a pinch. Dense enough to support bike and transit infrastructure, but not so dense to need subways and huge underground parking garages. Dense enough to build a sense of community, but not so dense as to have everyone slip into anonymity.
TreeHugger's Lloyd Alter writes in the Guardian about urban design.

ARSENE WENGER wants clubs By Matt Law banned from threatening to rough up his young Arsenal stars after Stoke's Ricardo Fuller said Stoke will kick them out of the FA Cup tomorrow.
setting out to injure his players.
And he will be furious to see that Fuller has warned them to expect a repeat performance after Wenger said threats from opposition players should be punished.
"Some people say before the games, 'we know how to play Arsenal, we have to kick them'. I am always absolutely amazed that people get away with it," said Wenger.
"When we get kicked and lose the game, people say, 'oh, you did not fancy that'. Nobody is upset or shocked by it.
When people say before a game they will kick you, that shows the intent.
Fuller believes Stoke, Chelsea and Bolton have proved Arsenal can be bullied and has described the Gunners as the perfect opposition for him and his team-mates.
"The Britannia is like a fortress. If we do play to our strengths I don't think Arsenal can deal with the aggressive play," said Fuller.
Wenger says Arsenal can cope with aggressive tactics and are capable of using a bit of muscle themselves.


An interesting point to consider is that some fields of study, which are often undermined in Greece, such as Physiotherapy, Nursing, Speech and Language Therapy, Diagnostic Radiography and Social Work are highly competitive and entry requirements are exceptionally demanding. Students who wish to join a Physiotherapy course, for example, must have good grades in Chemistry and Biology, an Academic IELTS with 7.0.
Most universities require an internship or placement to a Physiotherapy Center so as to familiarize with the practical aspects of the profession and an interview via Skype or in person so as to determine the candidate's suitability for the course. As soon as the candidate is offered a place, a health check is required and a criminal record by the police authorities. The same applies to all Health-Related Sciences.
Applications are made via UCAS and candidates can select up to 5 universities. The deadline is 15 January.
Some universities such as Oxford or Cambridge ask candidates to attend an interview. Additional admissions tests for Oxbridge are required. Deadline is 15 October.
LNAT (National Admissions Test for Law) There are several institutions which require the LNAT test to make fairer choices in the selection process among highly qualified applicants who wish to join an LLB degree. The test is NOT designed to test a candidate's knowledge of Law but assesses the candidate's aptitude for the skills and required to study Law. It is a two-section test based on passages followed by multiple choice questions and an essay. Candidates' scores from the multiple-choice section of the test are checked by a computer and a mark out of 42 is created. This is known as the LNAT score which is sent directly to the participating universities. Some of the Universities which require the LNAT are: University of Birmingham, University of Bristol, Durham University, University of Glasgow, Kings College, UCL, The University of Nottingham, Oxford University etc.
Candidates should aim to take the LNAT Test as early as possible in the academic cycle so as to meet the admissions deadlines. Candidates may only take the test once in the cycle and results cannot be carried over from one year to the next. There are no general exemptions from the LNAT.
A Personal Tutor is offering academic guidance to all students throughout their LLB studies attendance is compulsory and regular tutorials and seminars help students to conduct academic research for their written assessments and prepare for the exams.
This Zero year is suitable for students who need to improve their level of English and familiarize with the British Education system. This foundation year helps them make a smoother adjustment to academic life. Students who decide to attend a Foundation programme and do not meet the entry criteria to join an LLB degree. An Academic IELTS is required with an overall band score 5.0-5.5/9.0 Students study Academic English, learn how to write essays, and attend modules in legal studies thus familiarize with legal terminology. This foundation year has proved a valuable tool for law students as they do not experience difficulties in their law degree afterwards.
Therefore, the Foundation year is not considered a waste of time but a useful year for those who need some time to improve their English competencies both in writing and oral. Upon successful completion of the Foundation year, they can continue at the same university with an LLB degree.
Applications are made either through UCAS or directly to universities using the online application system.
This 1-year Foundation programme addresses to students who do not wish to start directly with a degree course but wish to experiment with related fields prior to reaching a decision regarding their career pathway.
Some of the fields are Law, Politics, European Studies, History, Philosophy.
Students normally have to complete 360 credits in order to acquire an LLB Honours degree.
A very popular field of study is Architecture. Students need to complete the RIBA I (Royal Institute of British Architects) 3 years Fulltime in order to proceed to RIBA II which is a 2-year postgraduate qualification in order to become a licensed Architect. Some students continue with RIBA III (Advanced Diploma in Professional Practice in Architecture) to acquire specialist knowledge in Architecture and Design. The latter part is concerned with assessing applied knowledge and skills in relation to professional conduct and competence to practice as an Architect. This course lasts 9 months.
Students can study the RIBA I and RIBA II at different academic institutions. The total duration of the 2 courses is 5 years. They need to build up a successful portfolio and are invited to attend an interview to present and comment on their work prior to being offered a place on the course.
The WIE programme for students is a yearlong industrial placement after completion of their second or third year in the 3-4 year engineering degrees respectively. In particular undergraduate courses of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering and Computer Engineering can be combined with a year's industrial placement to make a 4 or 5year WIE course. The aim of the programme is to give students a valuable insight into the world of work vastly increasing the chances of employability and generally give them a much more mature approach to their studies upon return to university. All universities are now happy to encourage these programmes because they provide students with a number of benefits such as experience of applying the knowledge gained in two or more years at university to real world situations.
It is usual that students obtain many transferable skills that cannot be taught as part of the degree curriculum. Students who have spent time in industry often return with a much clearer idea of the way they see their career progressing and are highly motivated during the remaining years of study. Even more working placement for professional experience develops the capabilities and skills of students and enables them to become aware of the culture and structure of a working environment. In the past, despite all the reported benefits for students, there had been noticeably poor take-up of the programmes and further efforts were in place by the universities to reverse the trend. Regarding the decision when to join a degree course with Industrial Experience, for some students this came at the beginning of the degree whereas others made up their mind later on their course. When asked in several surveys about the actual reasoning behind their choice most felt that integration of theory with practice and narrowing down student's options and careers within their rather broad degrees. Many students during the industrial placement year improve their technical knowledge; learn commercial skills to prepare them for the outside world. A combination of skills and practice gives them an all-round experience.
Another benefit is the acquisition of soft skills working with people in many different departments, managing time, exposure to a real job and the experience of communicating with different people from different disciplines. Some other report the major benefit is maturity and responsibility. They supported that it is very different from doing projects at the university because the motivation differs. In industry someone gives you work to do and if you don't do it then someone is losing money and from that point of view you actually learn to take real responsibility. Employability and how the corporate world works as well as the relevance of the knowledge acquired at the university to real life are another advantage. When you see something in practice you have a better understanding for it. When they return to university after their placement students seem to be more reflective about what they learn and the relevance of their courses with real jobs. In terms of the effect of the WIE programme on students career prospects and choices, most students got offers from the industries they had the experience with. They certainly have a better idea of where they want to be in the future because of their exposure to industry.


A brace from Paul Pogba and stunning solo goal from Anthony Martial secured the points for the Red Devils, moving them into the top four at the expense of Chelsea, who face Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday. He has won the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League and is now one of the senior players within the team.
"Of course, Chelsea have [played] one game less but we are happy for three more points. There are big games coming up and that will decide where we're going to stay at the end of the season". The Italian has only been in the job for three months but Fulham are now seven points from safety in the Premier League.


When it comes to make up I'm a total girly girl. I love it. My make up "drawer/bag" is actually a 4 drawer wicker storage thing full of everything with additional bits and bobs around the house.
I used to be able to wear the bright Barry M eyeshadows. I'd paint my eyes all sorts of colours, even mixing my own shades. But now I'm happy with just mascara on, lots of mascara I might add.
I've kind of lost my way with it all.
Since having children my face shape has changed considerably because I've let myself go. I think my rounder face can't quite take the bright colours.
Yet I don't know what colours I can now use or how to wear them.
Today I had a photoshoot for a women's section of a newspaper.
The photoshoot was at my house and the newspaper said they would be sending a make up artist. Well, I panicked as I have never ever had my make up done for me.
I was the only one to turn it down at my sister in laws wedding, instead opting to do my own. And also did my own at my wedding.
On Saturday evening though the make up artist phoned me to introduce herself, to give me her website address and to lead me to her Facebook account. We talked about my skin, what I wear now, what kind of make up I like etc.
My nerves eased especially with the promise that she would take care of me and make sure I enjoyed it.
Monday morning I wake with butterflies though. Although I have no problem with my personal space being 'invaded' as it were, I'm not so keen on someone prodding my face. More for the fact that I don't want them to be thinking "wow she has chubby cheeks" "wow look at those bags" "jeez this is one massive face" or indeed judging the quality of my skin.
It's odd to wake up, put on your nice clothes, do your hair but then not stick on some mascara at least.
Despite not wanting to have that moment of pampering I really enjoyed it.
It was odd not knowing what exactly was going onto my face and not being able to see each step as it happened.
2- I wouldn't have known where to start.
It was simply wonderful to have a little fuss over me and to try something new.
In addition to this, the make up artist Paula was really lovely and made me feel really comfortable and confident.
I'm actually looking forward to having an occasion where I could call on her again.
Stepping out of my comfort zone here is me before make up and below after make up.

Hate Comes Home
January 28, 2009 Jess Leave a comment
One of the things I try to do, as a game designer, is to play lots of games for reference and inspiration. I came across this game on racism, Hate Comes Home, which seems to address some of the issues we're interested in from a different perspective. I'd like to get hold of the full game and play it, obviously, but I was able to play a brief demo on their site. The basic approach seems to be choose-your-own-adventure; you get to watch a video clip, then make a decision about how to behave and see the outcome.
Their demo was pretty frustrating, though, because the choice was boneheadedly clear-cut. Are you going to stand up to your friend who just made a homophobic remark, or let it pass? Gee, folks, what do you think is the right thing to do? I'm curious how many choices the player gets to make during the course of the game (three? five? twenty?) and how much impact each choice has on the outcome. More importantly, do the choices make the player think critically about the impact of their behavior, or is it just a matter of choosing the choice that seems most virtuous on the surface?
This issue has come up in games that aren't explicitly educational, too. Most recently I noticed it in Mass Effect. I really enjoyed the game overall, but I thought it was far too easy to tell which dialogue choices were the "paragon" choices and which were the "renegade" choices. (For those who haven't played, they appeared in different positions on the screen.) I understand why the designers did it that way; playing as a paragon or a renegade has a direct impact on gameplay and narrative outcomes. At the same time, it pulls the teeth of the moral dilemmas the game creates. Mass Effect did a terrific job of putting you in situations where it is genuinely unclear what the moral course of action is – yet then it makes it really obvious what moral value the game places on the various options. The result, at least for me, was to incorporate the game's own value system into my personal judgment about what my character would do and what I as a player thought was right. It meant that instead of having to think critically about the situation as if it were real, I was able to game the outcome.
I'd like to play Hate Comes Home and see whether it has the same problem – and whether, for a game of this sort, it actually is a problem. I suspect it might be, for two reasons. First, the game's design short-circuits one of the hardest things about bias: noticing it in the first place. I think it's valuable to scaffold people into learning how to see bias in everyday interactions, but I wonder how the game asks players to then deploy those skills in practice. Second, if the game makes it too obvious which is the "virtuous" choice, players don't have to engage at the level of the fiction. They can game the system instead of playing the game. I'd be curious to watch players in the target demographic play, and see whether they experience identification with the characters or not.
That said, the game's won a bunch of awards (neat!) and takes on some really tough problems. I certainly think it's worth playing, and I'd like to figure out what implications its narrative design has for Advance.

E-mail Won't Help You Win a Nobel Prize
November 9th, 2013 · 20 comments
The Elusive Dr. Higgs
This past October, the theoretical physicist Peter Higgs won the Nobel Prize for his work predicting the particle that bears his name. The only problem: no one could find him.
Peter Higgs, it turns out, is not interested in being accessible. He has no e-mail address because he owns no computer. He does own a cellphone, but he only answers it if he knows the caller.
It's easy to imagine Higgs as a recluse, but as The Guardian reported in its Nobel coverage, he's actually quite busy. It's just that his definition of "busy" doesn't include an inbox.
I like these types of stories. They're not useful as a direct source of advice (most of us probably need to keep our computers). But they do provide a nice reminder about the type of work that ends up changing the way we understand the world.

In an ongoing series of events, that has led up to the reenergizing of the WMLK Radio Shortwave set, the following is an update. The power was restored (finally) by our utility service provider on August 8, 2012. The power company was very busy due to the damaging storms in our tri-state area and they cleared their workload and finally reached the WMLK Radio station site on the aforementioned date. I was able to make preparations for the next stage and that would be the 16.2 KV application. Our power company supplier can only furnish 13.2 KV to our site and we have to boost the power to the higher level because of the operating requirements of our BBC 250KW set. This set operates on the European voltage system and it was cost effective to purchase and install a transformer that was capable of compliance to the European voltage system. As mentioned previously on this page/update a fused cabinet was installed to offer better protection for the equipment. This took some time as it had to clear the insurance company and then be built to our specifications.
Today I was able to once again apply the power to the peripherals of the BBC set. Everything came up as it was prior to our losing the main power supply. Our Engineer is scheduled to arrive during September for further testing and resume where he left off last year. The following picture depicts the BBC TX energized up to the final plate voltage stage!
More to come as the progress of WMLK Radio continues forward...Praise Almighty Yahweh!
Progress continues at WMLK Radio. The following pictures show the installation of the new fused cabinet. This cabinet will afford more protection for the transformer supply that was shorted out because of our power supplier.
The panel that was plasma cut so the wiring could be passed between the main power cabinet and the fusing protection system.
The fusing cabinet joined with the main power supply.
The top cut from inside the power cabinet looking through to the fusing cabinet.
The wire has been ordered to connect the power supply to the fusing cabinet protection and to the power transformer.
Today the weather was conducive for removing the panel as can be seen in the following picture!
Once the panel is cut to specifications, it will be reinstalled and the new piece of equipment will be attached!
Today the power company finally disconnected the power to the transformer cabinet. This will allow entrance into this cabinet to remove one of the panels for plasma cutting.
Work at WMLK Radio continues to move forward! On April 17 we took delivery of the fusing cabinet that will offer more protection against power failures and power short circuits. The hurricane Irene wreaked havoc on the local area and caused the main power transformer to short out. This was the fault of the power companies power protection failure but, they attributed this to an act of nature! This cabinet will offer protection against the future acts of nature, so-called!
Cabinet in the delivery truck!
Cabinet adjacent to where it will be installed!
The pad to set the new cabinet was poured on April 25, 2012! The panel just above the pad must be cut out in two places to pass the high voltage cables through. This will be accomplished after the power company comes out to the station location and turns off the power. The power supplying the cabinet is thirteen thousand two hundred volts! The panel will be taken to a nearby location where a plasma cutter will cut out the two pass way holes!
Well...Praise Yahweh, we had a very successful transition day on Wednesday 3/14/2012! We were able to take out the old TX and put in the new TX. However, some modifications will be necessary on the bus bars to align the connections from the new TX to the old connections on the secondary side feeding the transmitter side! Here are some pictures of the exchange. We want to thank TE J.S. Meyer, D. Nate Meyer, and F. Lewis for their assistance in helping me to make this exchange!
The piece of equipment that was used to lift the transformers.
Taking out the old damaged transformer.
Getting ready to put the new transformer in the power cabinet.
F. Lewis (foreground) and T. E. J. Meyer removing the shipping crate bottom from the new transformer. Notice their happy worker face!
All but finished setting the new transformer into the power cabinet. On the right (driving the rig) is D. N. Meyer. Looking into the cabinet is F. Lewis and looking at me ( the camera man) is T. E. J. Meyer.
New transformer in place and ready for connections to be made. I have made some connections already!
Carrying the lifting apparatus to its storage location. This is a very heavy piece.
Almost in the storage area!
Here I have created a pic with notes for the manufacturing engineers on bus bar and cabinet proximity.
Off by this much in bus bar alignment!
The day has arrived for the installation of the new transformer! The transformer cabinet has been opened and all connections to the shorted transformer have been disconnected. The following picture shows the cabinet prior to the transformer removal.
The new transformer has arrived! This unit, as one can determine by photo comparison, is much better constructed than the previous transformer! The first photo shows the transformer prior to uncrating. You can see the blackened spot on the left side coil. This is what shorted out and caused transformer failure.
The next picture shows the new transformer uncrated.
The next pictures depict the old shorted transformer in the current cabinet!
Notice the different connection configurations. This is being addressed and the solution will be implemented when the transformers are switched. The new transformer is built much better as the insulation is much better and the partitioning has been beefed up! You will notice the insulation and coil dividers are much more substantial in the new transformer! This will provide a better service all around. More to come as progress continues!
The progress of WMLK continues with the addition of new prints as seen in the following photo: Notice the large print behind the PC monitor, this is one complete print. This four section print is affixed to a six foot by eight foot board.
Also a computer and monitor were added for the updating and rapid technical access to prints and other information's needed by the engineers and technicians of WMLK Radio.
The replacement transformer is scheduled to be delivered mid-February. However, this could be contingent on the fusing apparatus necessary to protect the transformer. Engineering at the location where the new transformer is being built is actively engaged in retrofitting this into our current configuration.
We have also added a new heat supply to keep the area much warmer during the cold winter months. The WMLK Engineer, who has been working to place the BBC radio transmitter into proper working order, is scheduled to return in March. He has put five of these transmitters into service already. The future is holding good promise/progress in getting WMLK Radio back on air.
The antenna towers at WMLK have received a fresh coat of paint. The photos show this transition.
South antenna tower lower and middle sections of the tower.
North antenna tower at the top sections.
The antenna progress has been encouraging. We have been able to purchase several pieces of sorely needed equipment. As WMLK Radio prepares for the September visit of our Engineer, peripherals have been purchased for connections to the testing equipment. Another advancement has been the repainting of the antenna towers. The elements plus the exposure to salt and industry processing residuals, has taken a toll on the paint of these antenna towers. This will be the third time in their twenty-five plus history at WMLK Radio that they will receive a facelift. The pictures below depict this current project in process.
Here Robert Branch is scraping the pole so he can apply a rust inhibitor in preparation for the new paint job!
This pole has been painted with the rust inhibitor, as you can see, up to the thirty plus foot level. Paxx, the WMLK Radio guard dog, is always ready to do his job! Here he is watching Robert do his work on the other pole. We will be bringing in a bucket truck to process the rest of the tower.
We have finally reached the final stages in our process. Our Engineer has obtained the prints that he needed on the final stage circuitry. I have purchased several pieces of equipment that were needed to match the new antenna to the BBC 250KW SW set this week. The Engineer is scheduled to visit our site during the month of September (Yahweh willing!) to make his final adjustments to the set. It has been a slow process and we were hopeful that it could have been done sooner. The cost of antenna restoration and other necessities forced the delay that we have experienced. The new testing and matching equipment was also very expensive so, we had to wait until funds were available. Almighty Yahweh has provided the necessary funds to purchase the sorely needed equipment. Stay tuned for new updates!
Although it has taken some time, progress has been realized on the WMLK Radio antenna repair project. As reported (HERE) the antenna suffered extensive damage from three ice and wind storms. The antenna was insured to a certain extent, and the insurance company has made payment to Assemblies of Yahweh for damage repair. Needless to say that the cost of repair was expensive, but necessary. The replacement cost estimate for the antenna alone within the framework of the support towers, was well over $300.000! This would be a complete replacement by a commercial antenna manufacturing company. However, we can and will repair the damaged antenna for well under this price and the insurance company concurs with this decision rather than complete commercial antenna replacement.
Alumoweld is an aluminum-clad steel wire that offers the advantages of each metal and the desirable qualities of both. It has comparable corrosion resistance to solid aluminum wire and eight times the strength. Compared to steel wire, it has the same high tensile strength but furnishes much higher conductivity and provides much greater longevity.
In the finished size, Alumoweld has an aluminum coating equal to 25 percent of the cross-sectional area of the composite wire, and a coating thickness guaranteed to be a minimum of ten percent of the wire radius. The thick aluminum coating provides an electrical conductivity equal to one-third that delivered by the same size solid aluminum wire. The conductivity, combined with the high strength of Alumoweld's steel core, makes it an extremely versatile, highly acceptable substitute for solid aluminum in many applications.
This design and high tensile strength properties supply the dynamics necessary to support the number 8 hard drawn aluminum wire within the catenaries. Because of the reduced weight supplied by the incorporation of aluminum wire, the Reflector Screen can be large in size. The dimensions for this section of the antenna are 31.25 meters by 31.35 meters. This would be 102.5 feet by 102.5 feet. The antenna has sixty-four (64) horizontal wires exactly spaced with eleven vertical (11) wire with measured placement. This configuration contains a tension support system on each side. The work must be accomplished with the use of a crane for several days.
As the work on rebuild and restoration continues, the antenna progress will be posted.
After months of anticipation, work began on the WMLK Radio antenna. The following photos depict the crane in the field and the two man basket in the air. The reflector screen is being disassembled to make way for the new wiring. The storm damage was extensive and will require many hours to restore the antenna into operable state. Photos taken June 8, 2009.
This is the motorized unit that will be used to repair the reflector screen and the antenna array! This unit extends over 120 feet and that is what it takes to reach the top of the antenna array.
The wind and storms still are having an effect on the antenna array. This past weekend (March 12-14, 2010) brought more high winds and destruction to our area. The element array already damaged by several previous storm suffered even more damage. The winter months do not allow us to reconstruct the element array until the weather warms up. The ground is very soft and the equipment we use to repair the antenna is very heavy and will sink into the soil causing an imbalance in the system. This sets off the safety system and shuts the high lift down. Very dangerous! Here are some more pictures taken today (March 16, 2010). The sky is clearing up and the weather is supposed to start warming up, hopefully! Soon, Yahweh willing, we will be able to repair the element array.

The Small Town Jeep Club held its 2017 Aaron Thompson Memorial Jeep Show in a park just east of our home town of Columbus, Indiana. The event featured a couple of hundred jeeps of all ages and we took the Farm Jeep to add to the fun. We did have fun, but the real excitement began when we were parked next to a beautiful red 1947 CJ2a.
The jeep in its original red paint had been found in a Columbus garage. The lucky owner got the jeep, which had been sitting for a couple of decades, running with minimal effort. Air in the tires, fresh fuel and a new battery were all that was required to get it rolling. While the owner doesn't have a lot of history, the 2a does provide some clues. Barely visible on the lower windshield frame are the remains of a sign that ended with GARAGE.
As we walked around the well preserved jeep we spotted an unusual heater located on the passenger side. The knob read "ARVIN" and the owner confirmed that the heater works well.
Columbus was home to the company that became Arvin Industries from 1919 until the year 2000 . The complete story is at Preserving Arvin. It is more personal at Farm Jeep, since Barry's father worked at Arvin. Barry also worked at Arvin in the summers when attending Purdue University. So this was a fun discovery.
While we didn't examine the heater we are guessing it is the Universal model pictured in a 1941 catalog. While Arvin had models for specific vehicles, the jeep wasn't around then.
According to the Preserving Arvin site, the company did produce a number of parts for jeeps and other military vehicles during WWII. Maybe we can find other Arvin products are a part of jeep history.

In vain I tried to explain my dad how to take my pictures. He insisted on making them blurry as hell and I kept freezing, but nevertheless - stylish points were scored on this short and sudden Copenhagen trip, if blending in and gaining respectful looks from local fashionistas is of any indication. And boy, they're fashionable here! And everyone in denim and black. Just like me!
I'm absolutely in love with this new look I geekshly "prepared" for what turned out to be the world's most stylish city. Boyfriend jeans, when done right - and Topshop people know how - are heaven to walk around in, and grey denim is the perfect backdrop for my new masculine shirt. The scarf helped with the icy wind on the bike. Nothing helped, however, to become as tall and sculptured-face-beautiful as the locals. Oh, well.


This is a sweet cute read that kept me entertained all the way through. Collie has an engagement ring that Michael's boss wants back. Michael agrees to go to Marietta to convince her to return it although he knows there's no way she'll agree. It was stolen years ago from Collie's family and now her grandmother has it back. The real reason Michael agrees to go to Collie is to see her again. He's always been attracted to her but she was engaged. Now she's not and he wants his chance! I definitely recommend this one.
Wedding at the Graff (Holiday at the Graff Book 5) by Jeannie Watt. This is Collie Flanigan and Michael Donovan's story. Collie and Michael were best friends through college but circumstances pushed them apart. Now, their paths cross again but not exactly on happy terms. Can Collie and Michael learn to trust each other again and reveal their true feelings? I liked Collie and Michael characters. This was a second chance romance with a little mystery and suspense too. It's always good to catch up with friends from Marietta. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
A second chance romance. Collie and Michael were best friends in college but then she became engaged to a mutual friend. When the engagement fell through, she kept the ring since technically it belonged to her family from years ago. Michael works for Collie's ex and has been sent to Marietta to retrieve the ring. Michael has more on his agenda than just the ring, a re-connection with Collie. Loved how Michael and Collie were willing to sacrifice things to go forward with their relationship. Loved the grandmas!! Great characters story telling. The luck of Irish be with you. Highly recommend.


Do you think dogs should be kept on leads at all times in public places?
This includes in a public place, in a private place - such as a neighbour's house or garden - and in the owner's home. This law applies to all dogs. We want to know if you think dogs should be required to remain on leads at all times in public places.
A dog is considered as "dangerously out of control" if it injures someone, or makes someone worried that it might injure them - and owners can receive an unlimited fine, or be sent to prison for up to six months - or both - if their dog is found to be dangerously out of control.
Some areas in England and Wales are covered by Public Spaces Protection Orders, where a number of criteria may apply to dogs and their owners.
These could include keeping your dog on a lead, putting your dog on a lead if told to by a police officer or council worker, stop your dog going to certain places, limit the number of dogs a person has with them, clear up after a dog and ensure you have bags or tools to clean up after the pet.
If these conditions are ignored you could be fined £100 on the spot. This could be increased to £1,000 if the incident goes to court.

Understanding Islam in KC
You asked, And We Found A Range of Practices

Above image credit: Question asker Marian Thomas with Imam Sulaiman Salaam at the Flatland studios. (Emily Woodring | Flatland)
At 79 years old, Marian Thomas of Leawood, Kansas, still shares much in common with the girl who wore out her Sunday school teachers with questions.
Religion has been a common thread throughout her life, whether it was serving as president of the Young Women's Christian Association while attending Oberlin College and Conservatory, or while working with Christian organizations in South Korea for nearly two years after college.
Thomas was raised a Presbyterian, but working in South Korea exposed her to other faiths, such as shamanism, Confucianism and Buddhism.
Thomas is now a Sunday school teacher herself, having retired from a career in music education in schools and churches. Yet even now, she said, her faith "continues to evolve" and her thirst for theological understanding remains unquenched.
So, she turned to curiousKC for help and asked: "What is the range of beliefs/practices within Kansas City's Muslim community from 'conservative' to more progressive or 'liberal'?"
Flatland then queried area Muslims in a way to enlighten Marian and you, our readers. We also introduced Thomas to Imam Sulaiman Salaam, who leads the Al Haqq Islamic Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
The meeting took place as part of a video shoot at Flatland's offices, a smiling Thomas popped in under a studio light, clasped Salaam's hands, hopped on a stool beside him, and got the conversation rolling.
Denominations?
Thomas noted the many denominations within Christianity, such as Baptist, Presbyterian and Episcopalian, and she wondered whether the same pattern exists in Islam and if so, what were the historical roots of those differences.
She learned that Muslims consider their faith way too diverse to be grouped into a monolithic "community." The practices of Kansas City-area Muslims are as varied as the ways they drape or style the hijab – a veil or headscarf that covers the hair or face.
Like Christianity and Judaism, Islam is one of the three Abrahamic religions. And each is guided by a revealed scripture, which for Muslims, is the Quran.
"(It) gives – in my opinion – formulas. Like in math, if you understand the formula you can always get to the answer," Salaam said. "You may take different paths, but you will get to the answer."
A fundamental schism within the religion in 632 A.D., known as the Sunni-Shiite split, departed from the Quran's initial message of unity. Since then, other movements, branches or schools have emerged.
There are roughly 1.6 billion Muslims around the world, comprising about a quarter of the global population. Muslims comprise about 1.1 percent of the U.S. population. There are around 35,000 Muslims in the Kansas City area and nearly 20 mosques.
An example of varying practices can be illustrated with two Kansas City-area women: Mahnaz Shabbir and Aisha Sharif.
Mahnaz Shabbir (top) and Aisha Sharif explain how beliefs and practices vary in their own lives.
Shabbir is a strategic management consultant and faculty member at Avila University. She participates in various panel discussions around the city on religion and Islam.
As Indian immigrants to the U.S., her parents focused more on assimilation than on faith. But when she was 8 years old, her grandmother came to live with them and taught her the tenets of Islam, when to fast and how to pray.
But it was only when she had her own children that she began putting those lessons into practice, including wearing the hijab. She wears hers wrapped around her head and pinned under her chin.
"The symbolism of the hijab is not a sign of oppression," she added. "No one's making me wear it. I'm choosing to do it on my own, and I feel really good."
Sharif, on the other hand, is an African-American who was born and raised in the U.S. She is an English faculty member at Metropolitan Community College.
Her mosque allows men and women to worship together. That's pretty laid back, Sharif said, but it's normal for her.
Given her work schedule, Sharif can't always follow the Muslim prayer requirements to a T. But, she prays daily.
"I do wear the hijab; however, some people might say that this is very casual or liberal," she said. Hers is wrapped only around her hair and pinned back, and she waved her hand around her neck to indicate that her fashion left it bare.
While modesty is prescribed by the Quran for both men and women, there is no specific instruction to wear a scarf or hijab. Just as faith is a personal choice, so is wearing a hijab.
Congregational Role
Thomas also asked Salaam about the hierarchical structure in Islam. "Is it top-down or is there some role for the believers?" she asked.
It varies, he said. For some mosques, the imam is the chief decision-maker, while at other mosques, decisions include the body of believers, also known as the ummah. But one thing remains true: the imam leads the mosque and delivers teachings during weekly services.
What about Islamic interpretations of scripture? Do they vary, as in other faiths, between literal and metaphorical?
"I believe that certainly happens in Islam, that they read word for word exactly as it's written on the page. They take it completely literal," Salaam said.
"Just like in the Protestant church," she replied with a chuckle.
And then there are others, Salaam said, who interpret scripture as more of a guiding principle, such as the parables taught by Jesus.
After the interview, Salaam and Thomas snapped a few selfies, with Thomas peppering in a few more questions and a lot of "thank you's."
The whole process was enlightening, she said. She cares about debunking false perceptions and stereotypes.
She was surprised that the imam is elected by the congregants. And, some things took her back to childhood: "The description of the mosque as a community center reminded me of churches in America in the '40s and '50s, which was when I was a kid growing up."
Then, she remarked, surely there were no mosques around in Kansas City back in those days. As it turns out, the first mosque in Kansas City, Muhammad's Temple Number 30 on Swope Parkway, was built in the 1950s.
Just one last tidbit of information for a woman who never stops learning.

It's what's next door that's causing the problem, however.
Their flag flies just feet away from a sign for the Edisto River Creamery, prompting motorists on the well-traveled John C. Calhoun Drive to assume new owner, Tommy Daras, is behind the flag, reports Fox News 8.
Daras wants the flag moved. He's hired a lawyer and even filed a zoning appeal to no avail, media outlets have reported.
A quirky bit of history is responsible for that gridlock.
Daras opened the ice cream shop this year in a former Piggie Park Maurice's BBQ, reported the Times and Democrat newspaper. Piggie Park is well known in South Carolina for great barbeque. But it is equally famous for having been owned by the late Maurice Bessinger, an outspoken backer of the Confederate flag's presence in the state.
Before his death, Bessinger deeded a tiny portion of land in front of the restaurant to Rivers Bridge Camp No. 842 Sons of the Confederate Veterans, reports the Times and Democrat. And that spot is where the flag is entrenched, along with a historical marker.
Fox News this week quoted Daras' attorney as saying the ownership of the spot is in question. The attorney says the land deal records show no exception for the property that the association bought from Bessinger.
That means the matter could end up in court, some are predicting.
The SCV has declined to give interviews on the subject, other than to acknowledge in an email to the Times and Democrat that it does have a deed to the site.

Abuja — Nigeria would soon sign up to an African continental free-trade agreement, President Muhammadu Buhari said.
Buhari made the comment on Wednesday at a media conference during a visit by President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The agreement was signed by 44 countries in March, with SA joining earlier in July.
Before leaving Nigeria for the Middle East on Wednesday Ramaphosa urged the Nigerians to join the free-trade agreement.
Ramaphosa said Nigeria should take its time to consult on the agreement before signing up, but shouldn't "take too long".
"The continent is waiting for Nigeria and SA.
"By trading among ourselves, we are able to retain more resources in the continent," he said in Abuja on Wednesday.
At a joint media conference with Ramaphosa later in the day, Buhari said Nigeria was careful about signing the trade deal to avoid hurting its young industries. "I will soon sign it," he said.
Talks to establish the African Continental Free-Trade Area (AfCFTA) with a combined GDP of more than $3-trillion started in 2015, and in May Ghana and Kenya became the first countries to ratify the deal. Ramaphosa signed the agreement in Mauritania last week. SA would ratify it "soon", he said.
The AfCFTA is a project that is driven by the AU to eliminate tariffs on intra-Africa trade of goods and services and create a single continental market with free movement of businesspeople. It will only become effective once the parliaments of at least 22 members ratify it.
Nigeria could not rush signing the deal because it does not want to get things wrong, Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun said at the conference. Her government was talking to stakeholders, including manufacturers, she said. Ramaphosa and Adeosun were speaking at the African Export-Import Bank's annual meeting being held in Abuja this week.
A free-trade area for the continent, if implemented according to schedule, could increase intra-Africa trade by at least half by 2022, a report by the African Export-Import Bank reads.

Uighur independence activist Rabiye Qadir invited by minor party to visit Taiwan
Taipei, Jan. 24 (CNA) A minor political party in Taiwan has invited World Uighur Congress President Rabiye Qadir to visit the island in March, plunging Taiwanese authorities into a quandary as to whether to issue a visa to her.
Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU), a pro-independence political party with no seats in the Legislature, said on Tuesday that Qadir accepted its invitation and hopes the Democratic Progressive Party government will grant her a visa.
During a press conference, TSU played a video showing Qadir expressing her support for "all campaigns by Taiwanese to win true freedom" and soliciting support from Taiwanese for her campaign.
"Taiwan, East Turkestan (Xinjiang), Tibet and South Mongolia (Inner Mongolia) share a common destiny; they must help each other, communicate with each other and exchange their experiences," she was shown saying.
TSU Chairman Liu Yi-teh (劉一德) said Qadir will exchange views with Taiwanese on human rights, self-determination and independence — topics he said all independence forces in Asia-Pacific could unite around.
Liu urged the Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文)government to issue a visa to the 70-year-old Uighur activist, claiming that "inviting someone who is persona non grata in China to Taiwan is a powerful diplomatic bargaining chip that can be used to counter China."
The Mainland Affairs Council, whose views on the matter will be taken into account before a final decision is made, said it will make a determination based on all prevailing external and internal factors as well as the principle of national interest.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said the decision does not fall within its remit. "Qadir's application for an entry visa will be dealt with by the relevant authorities based on existing laws," MOFA said.
Alex Huang (黃重諺), speaking for President Tsai, said Qadir's visa application will be handled by "the responsible authorities" based on relevant rules and laws.
He did not specify to which authorities he was referring, but the MAC is charged with mainland Chinese affairs, though the final say could lie with the National Security Council.

The Business of Film with Mark Kermode «
Film critic Mark Kermode reveals the economic realities behind the film industry. In the first part of this two-part series, Mark finds out about the journey from script to screen - a path littered with obstacles. Many films languish in so-called "Development Hell", where producers turn in scripts, listen to conflicting opinions and resubmit their storylines hoping for a magical green light. Some will make it, such as Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin which took 13 years to get to the screen. Others, like Lynda Obst's film about an Ebola outbreak in the late 1980s, may finally see the light of day, in some form, 20 years on. Away from the art and artifice lie the financial barriers to getting a film made. For some, the movie industry is little more than the 'branded carnival business'. The Hollywood studio system seeks success, replication, and reliability. Has an industry that was built by risk takers now become risk averse? Independent movie makers struggle to raise the finance for their films while the big studios produce movies that they know will turn a profit. Mark hears from the BFI, Channel 4 and BBC Films on the support they are offering. Experts within film finance describe their model, but Lock Stock and Kick Ass producer Matthew Vaughn, who has turned a profit on every film he has made, believes there is no such thing as a British film industry and movies should not be subsidised with tax breaks, adding that the industry is just a 'glamorised service provider'. Producers: Barney Rowntree & Nick Jones A Hidden Flack production for Radio 4, first broadcast in February 2015.

From our childhood, we have been receiving advises from our pokey relatives, family members as well as friends. Some advice us to go to gym, some to join yoga and some people use to give such unnecessary and hilarious advises that can serve as the perfect reason to kill them. For all those people who love to give their "Free ki Advice", to others and for the one who have gotten one on what to do and how to do, then here is a must watch video by the stand-up comedian "Jeeveshu Ahluwalia". In his video he talks about the hilarious advises that he gets from the people on his fatty appearance. So, lets watch the video and laugh out loud and share it as much as possible. And don't forget to give your precious views in the comment section given below.

История
Село Кетросы упоминается в источниках с XVIII ст. Основано не ранее конца XVII века. На карте Гийома Левассера де Боплана не обозначено, однако уже в 1705 году построена деревянная церковь Воздвижения Честного Креста. Разобрана в 1860 г. Новый каменный пятикупольный храм за счет казны и «стараніемъ землевладѣльца Тихона Петровича Бѣднякова» построен в 1853—1868 гг. (разрушен в 30-е гг. XX ст.). Вероятнее всего, село основано молдавскими (волошскими) переселенцами. Название происходит от  — «каменистый».

В 1946 году указом ПВС УССР село Кетросы переименовано в Должок.

Q: Exempt Static Assets from Authorization in .NET Core 3 SPA I have a SPA running on .NET Core 3.1. I followed the steps on this page to secure static assets in a folder outside of my wwwroot folder, but (predictably) adding
services.AddAuthorization(opts => {
    opts.FallbackPolicy = new AuthorizationPolicyBuilder().RequireAuthenticatedUser().Build();
});

in my Startup blocks access to the SPA source files inside ClientApp/build (and thus my app doesn't work).
My question is: how can I allow public access (i.e. skip checking the authorization policy) for additional folders (besides just wwwroot)? The article notes that UseStaticFiles() allows wwwroot to be publicly accessible (by checking the WebRootFileProvider in the IWebHostEnvironment), but only a single value can be configured to that property. I'd like to avoid moving the entire SPA app into wwwroot, but maybe that is the only solution?

Long tossing is a great tool to build arm strength, but coaches/parents—especially at the 12-U Level—need to make sure the pitcher is doing it correctly.
Find the proper distance: Keep an eye on the pitcher's body, making sure they are not overexerting—things like flying open and straining their neck during the release or missing the target by a large margin.
Don't fix too long with too short: On the reversal of too much distance, long tossing at too short of a range can cause an issue because the pitcher will tend to use only the arm.
Find a happy medium, where the pitcher is using their feet to build momentum, staying within their proper mechanics, and hitting the target—or at least keeping it within a reasonable area to the receiver.


The painter revisits her abstract compositions.

Louise Fishman is one of those painters who defies categorization. She's often described as a (small-caps) abstract expressionist due to her stylistic approach, but while the paintings in her ongoing show at Cheim & Read certainly fit the AbEx formula, the works—and Fishman herself—have greater depth than meets the eye.
Louise Fishman Coda Di Rospo (2017). Photo: courtesy of Cheim & Read, New York.
Made between 2016 and 2017, Fishman's new paintings are based on loosely defined grids that push the boundaries of her spontaneous, improvised abstraction. The painterly mixed-media compositions appear very gestural and physical. Evidence of Fishman's hand is easily recognizable by the troweled application of the paint on the canvas.
Louise Fishman, San Stae (2017). Photo: courtesy of Cheim & Read, New York.
In the 1960s and '70s, Fishman was an active participant in the feminist and gay rights movements, causes that led her to abandon painting in favor of sculptural and material investigations following the realization that her influences came almost exclusively from male artists. Her 1973 return to painting was marked by her seminal "Angry Women" series, designed to confront the male-dominated art world through canvases bearing a feminist viewpoint.
Louise Fishman, Piano Nobile. Photo: courtesy of Cheim & Read, New York.
Her aim was to reinvigorate the medium of painting—which at that time had been declared dead—through the addition of a strong female perspective. This new series of works, while abstract, shows Fishman exploring her visual vocabulary with tremendous confidence.
Louise Fishman, My Guernica (2017). Photo: courtesy of Cheim & Read, New York.
"My intention, always, was to not repeat a painting, was to not repeat aspects of paintings," Fishman said in a statement featured in the show press release. "My intention in painting is to keep discovering and to keep changing." That is the hallmark of Fishman's work: her ability to capture, through classical abstraction, the joy of reinvention.


Trapt is an alternative band from Los Gatos, California. The band formed in 1995, after meeting in high school, with members: Chris Taylor Brown (vocalist), Simon Ormandy (guitarist), Peter Charrell (bassist) and David Stege (drummer) and recorded the albums 'Amalgamation' and 'Glimpse' to sell at local shows. After the absence of Stege (drummer), the band signed to Warner Bros. Records and began recording their debut self-titled album. The band then found their permanent drummer, Aaron Montgomery.
On November 22nd, 2002, the band released Trapt, along with the single "Headstrong". "Headstrong" became a hit, reaching #1 on alternative charts and #16 on pop. Follow-up singles "Still Frame" and "Echo" did well, although never gaining the same praise as "Headstrong". "Headstrong" became the official theme song of WWE Bad Blood for June 2003. Trapt eventually hit platinum. After more than one year an EP followed on March 30th, 2004, that included a new song called "Promise" along with live versions of "Made Of Glass" and "Echo". On September 13th, 2005, the band released their sophomore album "Someone In Control" along with the single "Stand Up". In 2010 they released "No Apologies" and with thier fifth album "Reborn" they were more adventurous in the sound, using synthesizers and samples.
Established in 2011, they have remained true to their grunge-rock and heavy metal roots. The focus of Striven is to retain that style while also producing a new sound for a modern audience. The word striven means to struggle in opposition, to push through the boundaries of adversity and reach a desired goal. This is the reason why this band refers to itself as striven, as the band strives to push beyond the tests of life.
