I am so excited to start this final leg of my tour. It should be loads of fun. I am busily packing my bags tonight as I get set for a full week away from home. I had to get a larger suitcase out of the basement for my clothes and stuff. I usually use a pretty small suitcase for myself but this time around I have a lot going on.
Early tomorrow morning I head out to Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am so happy to be meeting up with Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood for lunch tomorrow. She is the force behind the Craftsanity podcast/blog. If you haven't listened to her interviews, they are simply the best out there. She has interviewed some of the true greats in knitting. Jennifer recently got a new position at her newspaper (she is a reporter/journalist by trade) and it is the best position. She is now the writer for the craft-inspired feature called Running With Needles for the Grand Rapids Press. I know she is doing some sort of coverage of my visit and a book give-away for Itty Bitty Nursery coming up. I'll keep you posted on all of that. Jennifer and I are going to hit a couple local yarn shops, too. It should be a fun time. I feel like she is an old friend.
Wednesday night I am visiting one of my favorite stops from last year's tour, Treehouse Books, in Holland (see the sidebar for address and contact info). I had such a great time there last year, it was one of the most fun groups ever. They were fun and lively. I hope we can have a repeat this year! I will be there for a trunk show and signing at 7:00pm.
Thursday, Nov. 8th at 7:00pm, I am at Schuler Books, another great stop last year. We had a good turn out of fun knitters. If I recall correctly there were raffle prizes, book giveaways and discount coupons to a local yarn shop as well. Hopefully that all will happen again, if not just come and see me, the booby prize! Just kidding. Look on the sidebar for the information and contact numbers.
Next I am off to NYC!!! I can't wait. I get to see my beloved publisher, Ann Bramson, my darling publicist, Jaime Harder and hopefully a few others. I love my publisher, they treat me so well I keep pinching myself to make sure I am not dreaming. What a good bunch. Unfortunately, my wonderful editor, Trent Duffy, took off for Budapest. I am not kidding, he heard I was coming and booked his flight across the world. No, really it was just bad timing. I guess I will just have to come back again to see him (hint, hint).
I am meeting up with the Vogue Knitting editor Carla Scott. That should be fun and interesting. Also while I am there Jaime is going to take me around the city to a plethora of yarn shops to do drop-by stock signings. I can't wait. We are going to hit all of the biggies! I'll bring my camera and share later.
Saturday, Nov. 10th, we are doing lots more drop-ins at yarn shops. Then one of the best things ever is happening, my sister is meeting me in NYC! I love my sister and she is the best person ever to travel with (besides my husband). I am a bit directionally challenged, okay, I am plain-old terrible at finding my way. She has led me around since I was born and I love to follow her. She will keep me company and we'll have a great time together. I am so lucky she can come along.
Next on Saturday the 10th, from 3-6pm, I am going to be at the Knitty City (see sidebar for address and contact info) for an event, trunk show and book signing. I have never been to this shop so it will be new and fun.
On Sunday, Nov. 11th, we are taking the train to Philadelphia and I will be at Loop from 11-1:00pm (see the sidebar for more info). I have heard so much about this shop from so many people. I have heard it is beautiful, beautiful. I am, again, so excited to be there. After this event my sister and I take the train back to New York and we are going to take in a Broadway show. Oh yeah!
Monday we are off to Boston where I will be at the Black Sheep Knitting from at 1:00pm to 3:oopm for a trunk show and book signing. Alison Hansel from blue blog fame recommended this shop and Jaime got it all set up. I love Boston, I have only been there once before. We have the whole day on Monday to goof around the city. We will be moving and shaking to take it all in and get back to Needham for the event.
I can't wait for this week! My husband and I have taken trips to both Boston and NYC for his work where I tagged along. This will be a much different week filled with knitters and yarn!
Please come out to see me if you get a chance. I will love to meet you.
Have a great trip! Holland is my home town and a lovely place. I hope you have a fun time.
I was distracted by skeins of beauty - but what I really want to say is have a safe and wonderful trip - enjoy each leg! Take care!
See you at Knitty City on Saturday! I'm excited to meet both you and Jaime.
It was great to meet you today, Susan. Thanks for visiting us at City Knitting.
You're going to love Knitty City, the people there are so friendly! My husband and I recently moved to NYC, and found an incredible thai place right near Knitty City-- it's called 'Land' Thai Kitchen, very good prices, portions, and just amazing food. It's on amsterdam between 81st and 82nd. You and your sis should definitely try and stop by for lunch before the signing!
Have a fun time on this next leg of your tour! I just had to tell you that I made the cupcake hat in newborn size for a baby shower and it was the hit of the shower. What a great hat! It knit up so fast...it will surely be a repeat performer! Thank you for all of your terrific patterns and ideas!
Actually, Susan will be at Black Sheep Knitting in Needham from 1 to 3 p.m. on Monday the 12th. Hope to see some of you here.
My mother-in-law saw you in Holland last night. She talked about you and your designs for an hour. She bought me two of your books and I can't wait to see them!
Hi Susan, I work at Black Sheep, so I'll see you there on Monday! woohoo!
Too bad I don't live in Holland Michigan anymore. Lizzie Ann's Yarn Shop is a great place. Great girls over there - have fun!!!


When I became a mom, my focus quickly shifted from loving my corporate job to wanting a home based opportunity. That was years ago and my kids are now all young adults. I enjoyed working from home so much that I have continued down that path even after the kids grew up. I think more than anything I appreciate the flexibility that comes with a home based business. I also understand the corporate culture when I worked in management at General Electric. I learned so much at GE Capital but honestly it has made me appreciate more than ever the benefit of working for yourself and not having to work endless hours and not have time for your family. I learned I appreciate the opportunity to have a balance and not be stresssed all the time about not being able to spend time with those I love. I did not miss my kids first steps, special events at school and I was able to create memories with them that otherwise would not have been possible. For sure, it is still difficult to balance work and home life even if the home life is your home office, but without question working from home and the flexibility of how and when you work and earning potential is key.
I realized as my kids started going out on their own that they also are looking for more flexibility in the workplace as well as the opportunity to truly make a difference. Right out of college, they are looking for opportunities that allow them the ability to work from home and not have to waste empty hours with a commute to and from work. If they can't work from home, they want a flexibile schedule. They want an opportunity they are passionate about and they want to make a difference. It seems millenials have a better understanding of balancing work and home life right from the start as my generation had, and they are figuring this out early on. Maybe they have learned something from their overworked parents and decided they want something better or maybe they are figuring it out on their own.
No wonder the Direct Sales industry is booming. It is one of the career paths where you absolutely control your destiny and have the flexibility to work from home. Direct sales is a great opportunity not just for millenials, Generation Xers like me and Baby Boomers looking to retire with some extra monthly income. The key with a direct sales business is to find something you believe in, where you can make a difference. Even better, it needs to offer the ability to work from home or on the go easily. Ideally working with a laptop or a smartphone would be ideal.
I happened upon a business years ago when I was not even looking for one. I found out about a product called Xocai healthy chocolate. It was the healthiest chocolate on the planet, tasted delicious and high in antioxidants and cocoa flavanols. When my friends, family and I started eating it, we noticed significant benefits and we were sold. Eventually I felt an obligation to share this wonderful chocolate and my healthy chocolate business was born. That worked for a while but ultimately it was not an opportunity you could easily share on your laptop or smartphone. Well that all changed when Xocai was bought out by an amazing team that formed Well Beyond. This team had vision, took amazing products including the Xocai Healthy Chocolate Company products, Xe energy drinks and the Remity Nutraceutical line. The Founder and CEO of Well Beyond had this to say, "I am honored to carry on the legacy of Healthy Chocolate and to work with a proven executive team, employees, independent promoters, key alliances, and product providers to deliver a customer-centric wellness experience beyond our customers' expectation", said Jeremy Reynolds.
With the powerhouse management team and the amazing product line and earning potential, no wonder Well Beyond is one of the best direct sales opportunities for 2018.
Our Well Beyond team is currently seeking strong leaders in the United States, Canada, Japan and Europe; act now to secure your promoter position among the leaders of our team.
Contact Lynette Henk of Three Sons Marketing LLC at (877) 208-8172 or email lynette @ healthychocolatefix.com with your cell phone number or email address. I would be happy to email or text you a video or information that shares our vision.


The Norwegians play an entertaining mix of metal, stoner, hard rock and alternative.
SVÖLK finally releases their highly anticipated new album "Nights under the Round Table". The first sounds of the new longplayer will take the listener by surprise. It shows that the band was able to improve tremendously since the release of the highly acclaimed and fantastic debut album. The Norwegians riff enthusiastically over the entire album without showing any signs of slowing down. It's quite the opposite, the listener feels the love and the excitement of the musicians in each and every second. SVÖLK's Stoner Metal can be described as an explosive and dirty mix of Stoner Rock, Metal, Danzig and Iron Maiden. "Nights under the Round Table" has huge potential to be embraced by Die Hard Metal fans and 70´s worshippers and Stoner Rockers alike.
The perfect mix of Stoner, Danzig & Iron Maiden!

Ferrari 250 LM: The Last Prancing Horse To Win Le Mans
A detailed overview of the Ferrari 250 LM's importance during the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Intended as the successor to the 250 GTO in the GT class, the Ferrari 250 LM was rejected by the FIA for entry in the GT class because fewer than the required 100 cars were produced. This meant the 250 LM needed to be entered in the prototype class, competing against cars such as the Ford GT40.

The 1965 edition would become the last victory of Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Ford vs. Ferrari, for the last time in favour of the latter.
The Ferrari 250 LM
Photo: Ferrari
From 1963 to 1965, 32 Ferrari 250 LM units left the Maranello factory. Powered by a 3.3-L V12 similar to the one used in the 275 P, it pushed out some 320 bhp. Both factory teams and privateer racers had a lot of success driving the car in various races; of its 35 entries in 1964, the 250 LM won 10.
The 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans
There were five 250 LMs entered in that year's relentless endurance race:
North American Racing Team
Masten Gregory
Ed Hugus
Pierre Dumay
Gustave Gosselin
Scuderia Filipinetti
Dieter Spoerry
Armand Boller
Ecurie Francorchamps
Leon Dernier
Gerald Langlois van Ophem
DNF (12th hour)
Maranello Concessionaires
DNF (8th hour)
Even though two of the five Ferrari 250 LMs did not manage to finish, the overall result was something to be proud of. For now, our story will focus on the #21 NART 250 LM.
The North American Racing Team (NART) founder Luigi Chinetti (who happened to be a triple Le Mans winner himself) entered two Ferraris in the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans: a Ferrari 365 P2 and the 250 LM (#21). This particular 250 LM (s/n 5893) was purchased by the team in 1964 and prepared for the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The start was far from ideal. The team qualified the Ferrari 250 LM (#21) in 11th place, and in the fourth hour of the race, Gregory had to bring the car into the pits due a mechanical problem. After changing the distributor and losing 30 minutes, the car was back on track with Jochen Rindt behind the wheel in 18th position.
Whilst the #21 NART 250 LM was driving flat-out and climbing up the rankings while other Ferraris around it failed, the 250 LM seemed to be running reliably.
The Third Driver
You might have noticed the #21 NART 250 LM had three drivers instead of the standard two. This only came to light in the late 2000s. Ed Hugus (pictured above) was supposed to drive another Ferrari but didn't qualify. Whilst hanging around in the pit lane during the 12th hour of the race, Gregory brought the car in because he was simply too exhausted to continue driving. Jochen Rindt was reportedly nowhere to find, so the team decided that Ed Hugus would take over driving for a few hours.
During his short stint behind the wheel, Hugus managed to gain on the leader with each lap, and yet he was never acknowledged as one of the winning drivers.
Gregory was technically not allowed to drive again once Hugus came in for a driver change, but he got behind the wheel anyway, so in theory the car should have been disqualified. However, at no point did anyone officially record Hugus as a driver. NART, the drivers and Ferrari all kept it quiet so they wouldn't risk disqualification.
By the 16th hour of the race, Ferrari still had an impressive eight cars in the race. There was one Cobra left on the track, but otherwise all of Ford's entries had dropped out by this point.
The #21 NART 250 LM was still driving in second place, but due a deflated tire on the #26 250 LM, the NART car quickly gained ground and ultimately won the race with a five-lap lead. Second place was taken by 250 LM #26 and third place was claimed by Ecurie Francorchamps in their Ferrari 275 GTB Competizione Speciale (#24).
The 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans truly was the end of an era, as Ferrari has never again managed an overall win at this legendary endurance race.

Provide Comprehensive Threat Protection as a Service.
With advanced threat protection services, networks are optimized while threat defense becomes key to increasing revenue.
Symantec Advanced Threat Protection goes beyond basic signature-based malware detection by integrating detection, prevention, recovery, and remediation. Global Service Providers can build a highly trusted relationship with their customers together with Symantec.
Symantec is the proven leader in protecting devices from laptops to mobile. Norton is the consumer brand, while Symantec is the brand that our enterprise customers depend on.
With machine learning, powerful analytics, and over 500 researchers, our threat protection services leverage 3.7 trillion rows of telemetry to detect, block, and remediate threats. Our Global Intelligence Network covers 175 million endpoints with 57 million sensors in 157 countries.
Cyber Security is complex. If you are planning on providing Security Services for your subscribers, Symantec is enabling Global Service Providers to provide the most comprehensive solutions available.
Protecting your customers' data has never been more important, especially in the cloud. Enterprises are moving email to the cloud to cut costs and improve agility, but they're worried about losing control of confidential data and information. Symantec enables Service Providers to accelerate cloud adoption by providing greater security, control, and visibility over cloud-based email.
Easy to deploy, Email Security.Cloud protects emails in the cloud with features like Email Protect and Email Safeguard. Email Protect includes targeted attack protection, real-time link following, advanced malware protection, antimalware, antispam, and outbound filtering. Email Safeguard adds privacy and control with Data Protection (HIPPA, PCI, GLBA, ITAR), image control, encryption, DLP, policy management, and remediation.
The risks of downloading malicious mobile apps are globally underestimated. Service Providers can increase ARPU and reduce churn by validating apps prior to installation. Symantec App Insight can help educate subscribers relative to the app choices they make, and in return will make them feel safer and in more control of their device.
Without strong controls for how information is accessed and powerful tools to protect it, businesses continue to be at risk of unauthorized access and exfiltration of sensitive data.
With the greatest risk of breach coming from stolen passwords, adding biometrics to a security strategy just makes sense. Unauthorized transactions from stolen pin numbers can now be dramatically reduced with forced 2-factor authentication.
When risk factors at the ATM or Point of Sale are high, ask for bio-pin authorization on a mobile device before locking the account for fraud protection.
For enterprises, deploy single sign-on with bio authentication and the volume of costly password resets will dramatically drop.
Now that work takes place all over the Internet, in the cloud, and on mobile devices, organizations are abandoning the idea of simple perimeter defense. When there is no perimeter, data is at its most vulnerable, and leaders must secure the aspects they can control to protect their intellectual property, identity, and information.
Symantec's ability to derive actionable intelligence comes from over 3.7 trillion rows of telemetry, machine learning, and powerful analytics. With the largest civilian intelligence network globally, Symantec intelligence powers security solutions on endpoints, in servers, in gateways, in the cloud, and on the network.
DeepSight Intelligence is a cloud-based threat intelligence platform that employs one of the industry's largest commercial threat collection networks to deliver a comprehensive range of timely adversary and technical cyber threat intelligence through a customizable portal. Technical intelligence from DeepSight includes vulnerability, security risk, malcode, network, and file reputation intelligence.
Identify URLs for policy enforcement.
Symantec RuleSpace offers an advanced web intelligence solution to enable vendors to ensure a safe web environment for users and companies without impacting their web experience.
Protecting email and web access is critical for Service Providers. With the overwhelming adoption of cloud email with offerings like Microsoft® Office 365, enterprises are challenged with protecting their critical information.
Symantec enables Service Providers to accelerate cloud adoption by providing greater control and visibility over cloud email.
Cyber Security has never been more top of mind for consumers and enterprises alike. Symantec is working diligently to deliver security solutions together with the world's largest Service Providers in the Cloud and online. We've redesigned our offers and created complete solutions to solve current security challenges, from connected cars to connected homes.
Symantec partners closely with some of the industry's leading Cloud Marketplace vendors, including Odin, AppDirect, and others. By leveraging a Cloud Marketplace vendor, Global Service Providers can accelerate their time to market, avoiding complex integration for each new solution.
Service Providers can capitalize on secure IOT offerings and "secure by design" by embedding security into their home gateways and home automation equipment in addition to authentication meant to prevent unauthorized remote access to connected cars. Service Providers are in a unique position to control security for increasingly connected things.
As Service Providers realize the benefit of network virtualization, opportunities for dynamic and personalized security have become possible. Leading Service Providers are exploring dynamic and contextual policy enforcement to deliver accurate and timely security with individualized policy management.
The impact and value of dynamic security orchestration in an NFV environment cannot be over-estimated. This TM Forum Catalyst, "Security Functions in NFV", demonstrates how security functions can be exposed to a northbound orchestration layer via a unified API. The aim is to offer functionality such as packet inspection, browsing protection, and source reputation checking to enable operators to speed up implementation and cut costs, thus allowing them to offer security as a service.


It is pretty unbelievable to see our January speaker, Fred Clarke, in the December issue of Orchids magazine. Open to page 888 to see Fred receiving the AOSExcellence in Hybridizing Award for his work in the Catasetum Alliance. Then turn to page 920 to see a full page photo of Fredclarkeara Desert Tenor 'Sunset Valley Orchids', FCC/AOS, with more to follow in subsequent pages. Impressive and what a way to start off a great New Year for us!
Personal New Year's resolutions may be hard to manage, but finding a "perfect flower" to add to your collection might be the easiest way to start that journey. Look to the genus Clowesia for that ("perfect" as having bisexual parts) and be impressed by its multi-week flower longevity and 12-30+ flower per infloresence count. Compact, pendulous and some having fragrance, you can easily find space and a reason to collect these fascinating gems.
Read about Clowesia and its Hybrids in the December issue on page 920. This genus only has 7 species and few intrageneric hybrids, but it has been used with great success in breeding with the Catasetum and Mormodia genera to impart and enhance many desirable features.

A fabulous article about cultivating C.goeringii in South Korea awaits you on pg 124 of this summer's Orchid Digest. The author's visit to the Korean Orchid Society coincides with the famed national Cymbidium goeringii auction and great storytelling, culture tips and photos follow.
A major misconception about this orchid is that it is a "cool grower." In fact, C.goeringii prefers 68F + temperatures during the active growing season. Continual cool summer weather will cause plant decline over the years.
Due to the common poaching of D.lindenii, about 2,000 ghost orchids remain wild in Florida today. Incredibly, this is about to change. Recent results from a team of researchers at the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences have shown that a successful laboratory seed culturing technique for the Ghost Orchid has been established.
Once cultured, the seedlings are acclimatized in a greenhouse and later reintroduced back into the wild. Thus far, 70 out of 80 ghost orchids cultured within Professor Kane's UF lab have survived in the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge in Collier county.

You Can Delete Embarrassing Whatsapp Messages Even After You've Sent Them. Finally!
WhatsApp has finally added a new feature that's been rumoured for a while now, the ability to revoke chats you've already sent out.
After testing the feature for most of this year, it's finally out in the wild with the latest update. The patch now lets you delete a message up to seven minutes after you've sent it.
It's not just one on one threads either, you can even revoke a text from a group chat. However, both users involved would need to have the new version of the app for the feature to work, so don't expect to erase your embarrassing mistakes if someone in the group hasn't updated yet.
The feature is currently rolling out to WhatsApp users through this week. You'll see the new delete option when you select your chat on your phone, allowing you to "delete for everyone" instead of just from your device. It still has some kinks so WhatsApp warns recipients may still see your chat if it somehow fails to delete, and may even still be able to read it in an unread notification once it's been removed..
Either way, it's still a handy feature to have when you accidentally text sweet nothings to your boss instead of your girlfriend, or make the worst alcohol-induced typo.

Looking for an inexpensive way to make fly tying more enjoyable this winter? Inventor Keith Barton sent us a pair of his new patent-pending "Sixth Finger" tying scissors a few weeks ago, and although I've tied mostly saltwater flies with them, I can vouch for the concept of spring-loaded scissors that fit (and stay) comfortably in the hand as something of a godsend. I'm beginning to test them with tiny midges too (as many as I can stand) and find that I prefer the precise control that my old dual-finger-loop pair didn't give me.
The secret to the way the Sixth Finger scissors work is the single finger loop welded to one side. It's positioned so that when you release the scissors, they stay resting in palm while you do other tasks: wrapping hackle, gluing, selecting feathers, finishing, stacking… whatever. This design could have been done wrong — the blade points could slip too low in the hand when you release the scissors, the balance could be off, the shape of the handle could be too wide or too thin, or the workmanship could be shoddy. But Barton — who by the way has been writing some pretty insightful stuff about fly tying on his blog SingleBarbed.com — has combined utility and high-end construction in a delightful little tool. What's more, they cost only around $20 (plus shipping).
You can buy Sixth Finger scissors from MidCurrent, or by emailing Barton directly.


Judoka Isao Inokuma is the 1964 Olympic Champion. Inokuma was president of Tokai Kensetsu, a construction company and committed suicide in 2001. At the Tokyo Games in 1964 he defeated his first three opponents by ippon and then took the gold medal match, winning by yusei. He was 1965 World Champion.

Slavery is a practice in which people own other people. A slave is the property of his or her owner and works without pay. The owner, who is called a master or mistress, provides the slave with food, shelter, and clothing.
Slavery began in prehistoric times and has been practiced ever since. The slavery of ancient times reached its peak in Greece and the Roman Empire. During the Middle Ages, slavery declined. Then, during the 1500's and 1600's, the colonization of the New World by Europeans resulted in a great expansion of slavery. Changing moral attitudes about slavery helped cause its decline during the 1800's. The United States abolished slavery in 1865. Today, slavery is illegal in almost every country in the world. But slavery still exists in parts of Africa, Asia, and South America. Congress, using powers granted by Article I, Section 9, of the Constitution banned importation of slaves in 1808 but this did not effect those already in the United States nor those yet to be born.
The start of slavery probably followed the development of farming about 10,000 years ago. Farming gave people an opportunity to put their prisoners of war to work for them. People captured in war continued to be the chief source of slaves in the earliest civilizations. Other slaves were criminals or people who could not pay their debts.
The first known slaves formed the lowest class in the civilization developed by the Sumerians in Mesopotamia (now mostly Iraq) about 3500 B.C. Slavery also existed in Assyria, Babylonia, Egypt, Persia, and other ancient societies of the Middle East. In addition, it was practiced in ancient China and India and among the early blacks of Africa and the Indians of America.
Slavery expanded as commerce and industry increased. This growth of trade created a demand for a disciplined labor force that could produce goods for export. As a result of this demand, ancient slavery reached its fullest development during the great empires of Greece and Rome.
Slaves did most of the work in these societies. Many labored in handicraft industries, in mines, or on plantations. Others worked as household servants, and some even became doctors or poets. During the 400's B.C., slaves may have made up a third of the population of Athens. In Rome, slavery became so widespread that even common people owned slaves. Most people of the ancient world regarded slavery as a natural condition of life that could befall anyone at any time. Few writers or other influential individuals viewed slavery as evil or unjust.
The treatment of slaves varied greatly, but almost no slaves could legally marry, have a family, testify in court, or own property. In ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, slaves who worked in large gangs in mines or on plantations served long hours and suffered harsh punishment. However, many of those who worked as household servants were treated as well as any member of the owner's family.
A slave's chief hope was manumission (formal release from slavery by the owner). Most ancient slaveholding societies allowed manumission, and many owners guaranteed it in their will as a reward for loyal service.
After the Roman Empire broke up in the A.D. 400's, international trade fell sharply. The loss of markets for goods that slaves might have produced led to a decline in the need for slaves. In Europe, slavery slowly changed into serfdom (somewhat like share-cropping which evolved in the United States after the Civil War).
But slavery continued in the areas around the Mediterranean Sea. Most of it resulted from fighting between two religious groups, Christians and Muslims. During the A.D. 600's and early 700's, Arab Muslims conquered the Middle East, North Africa, and almost all of Spain. Christians and Muslims fought each other in these areas for hundreds of years, and both groups enslaved their prisoners. Some of the fighting occurred during the Crusades -- the Christian attempts to recapture Jerusalem and other areas of the Holy Land from the Muslims. The Crusades began during the 1000's.
In the Holy Land, the crusaders tasted sugar for the first time. Many of them then created a demand for sugar after returning to Europe. As a result, Italian merchants established sugar plantations on several Mediterranean islands. The production of sugar required large numbers of laborers, and so the Europeans imported slaves from Russia and other parts of Europe. By 1300, a few African blacks had begun to replace Russian slaves on Italian plantations. These blacks were bought or captured from North African Arabs, who had enslaved them for years.
During the 1400's, Portuguese sailors started to explore the coast of West Africa and to ship African blacks to Europe as slaves. The Portuguese also enslaved blacks on sugar plantations that they established on islands off the coast of West Africa.
Throughout the Middle Ages, various peoples in Africa and Asia continued to enslave prisoners of war. During this period, slavery was widely practiced among three groups of Indians. These Indians lived on islands of the Caribbean Sea and also inhabited what are now the Northwest Coast and Eastern Woodlands of the United States. Most slaves in the Indian societies worked as farmers or domestic servants. They generally suffered less hardship than the slaves who toiled on European sugar plantations.
The establishment of European colonies in the New World during the 1500's brought an expansion of slavery. The Spaniards developed sugar plantations in Cuba and on other Caribbean islands that became known as the West Indies. The Spaniards also needed large numbers of laborers to mine gold and other metals. Portuguese colonists started huge sugar plantations in Brazil. These Europeans enslaved thousands of Indians. But most of the Indians died from European diseases and harsh treatment. The Spaniards and the Portuguese then began to import blacks from West Africa as slaves. Other African blacks helped capture most of the enslaved Africans.
During the 1600's, France, England, and the Netherlands established colonies in the West Indies and greatly increased the African slave trade. Soon, the Europeans enslaved only blacks. Sugar became the main export of the European colonies, though the settlers also developed profitable coffee, cotton, and tobacco plantations.
The rising European demand for sugar helped create fierce competition for slaves and for new sugar colonies. From the 1500's to the mid-1800's, the Europeans shipped about 12 million black slaves from Africa to the Western Hemisphere. Nearly 2 million of these slaves died on the way. About 65 percent of the slaves were brought to Brazil, Cuba, Jamaica, Saint Domingue (now Haiti), and other sugar colonies. Brazil alone received about 38 percent. About 5 percent were brought to what is now the United States.
Laws in the European colonies of Latin America showed considerable concern for the welfare of slaves. These laws allowed slaves to marry, to seek relief from a cruel owner, and even to buy their freedom. Such laws were rarely enforced, however. Partly for this reason, slavery was as cruel in Latin America as it was, later, in the United States. But slaves in the United States generally ate better, lived longer, received better medical care, and had a more secure family life than those in most other countries.
The continual shipment of large numbers of Africans to Latin America gave slaves there certain advantages over blacks brought to the United States. For example, African customs could be retained more easily in Latin America.
Slaves in Brazil and the West Indies had less need to adjust to white culture than did blacks in the United States. Blacks greatly outnumbered whites in parts of Brazil and in most West Indies colonies, but the Southern United States had twice as many whites as blacks. The greater number of slaves than whites in those Latin American areas also made slave revolts more common there than in the United States. The biggest slave revolt in history broke out in Saint Domingue in 1791. Nearly 500,000 slaves rebelled against their French owners and took over the country.
Some scholars believe that the first blacks in America came with the expeditions led by Christopher Columbus, starting in 1492. Black slaves traveled to North and South America with French, Portuguese, and Spanish explorers throughout the 1500's.
The best-known black to take part in the early explorations of North America was a slave named Estevanico. In 1539, he crossed what are now Arizona and New Mexico on an expedition sent by Antonio de Mendoza, ruler of Spain's colony in America.
The first blacks in the American Colonies were brought in, like many lower-class whites, as indentured servants. Most indentured servants had a contract to work without wages for a master for four to seven years, after which they became free. Blacks brought in as slaves, however, had no right to eventual freedom. The first black indentured servants arrived in Jamestown in the colony of Virginia in 1619. They had been captured in Africa and were sold at auction in Jamestown. After completing their service, some black indentured servants bought property. But racial prejudice among white colonists forced most free blacks to remain in the lowest level of colonial society.
The first black African slaves in the American Colonies also arrived during the early 1600's. The slave population increased rapidly during the 1700's as newly established colonies in the South created a great demand for plantation workers.
By 1750, about 200,000 slaves lived in the colonies. The majority lived in the South, where the warm climate and fertile soil encouraged the development of plantations that grew rice, tobacco, sugar cane, and later cotton. Most plantation slaves worked in the fields. Others were craft-workers, messengers, and servants.
Only 12 percent of slave-owners operated plantations that had 20 or more slaves. But more than half of all the country's slaves worked on these plantations. Most of the other slave-owners had small farms and only a few slaves each. Under arrangements with their masters, some slaves could hire themselves out to work for other whites on farms or in city jobs. Such arrangements brought income to both the slaves and the masters.
The cooler climate and rocky soil of the Northern and Middle colonies made it hard for most farmers there to earn large profits. Many slaves in those colonies worked as skilled and unskilled laborers in factories, homes, and shipyards and on fishing and trading ships.
During the mid-1600's, the colonies began to pass laws called slave codes. In general, these codes prohibited slaves from owning weapons, receiving an education, meeting one another or moving about without the permission of their masters, and testifying against white people in court. Slaves received harsher punishments for some crimes than white people. A master usually received less punishment for killing a slave than for killing a free person for the same reason. Slaves on small farms probably had more freedom than plantation slaves, and slaves in urban areas had fewer restrictions in many cases than slaves in rural areas.
By 1770, there may have been 40,000 or more free blacks in the American Colonies. They included runaway slaves, descendants of early indentured servants, and black immigrants from the West Indies. Many free blacks opposed British rule. One of the best-known African American patriots was Crispus Attucks, who died in the Boston Massacre of 1770 while mocking the presence of British soldiers.
During the Revolutionary War in America (1775-1783), most blacks probably favored the British. They believed that a British victory would offer them their earliest or best chance for freedom. But about 5,000 blacks fought on the side of the colonists. Most of them were free blacks or slaves from the Northern and Middle colonies. Black heroes of the war included Peter Salem and Salem Poor of Massachusetts, who distinguished themselves in the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775.
By the early 1800's, more than 700,000 slaves lived in the South. They accounted for about a third of the region's people. Slaves outnumbered whites in South Carolina and made up over half the population in both Maryland and Virginia.
Slavery began to develop even deeper roots in the South after Eli Whitney of Massachusetts invented his cotton gin in 1793. This machine removed the seeds from cotton as fast as 50 people working by hand and probably contributed more to the growth of slavery than any other development. Whitney's gin enabled farmers to meet the rapidly rising demand for cotton. As a result, the Southern cotton industry expanded, and cotton became the chief crop in the region. The planters needed more and more workers to pick and bale the cotton, which led to large increases in the slave population. The thriving sugar cane plantations of Louisiana also used many slaves during the first half of the 1800's. By 1860, about 4 million slaves lived in the South.
Numerous slaves protested against their condition. They used such day-to-day forms of rebellion as destroying property, running away, pretending illness, and disobeying orders. Major slave protests included armed revolts and mutinies. The most famous of about 200 such revolts was led by Nat Turner, a slave and preacher. The revolt broke out in 1831 in Southampton County in Virginia. The rebels killed about 60 white people before being captured. The best-known slave mutiny occurred in 1839 aboard the Amistad, off the coast of Cuba. A group of Africans, led by Cinque, brought the vessel to Long Island in New York. The slaves were given their freedom soon afterward.
Slaves received beatings or other physical punishment for refusing to work, attempting to run away, or participating in plots or rebellions against their owners. Some slaves were executed for rebelling.
The Revolutionary War helped lead to new attitudes about slavery, especially among whites in the North. The war inspired a spirit of liberty and an appreciation for the service of the black soldiers. Partly for this reason, some Northern legislatures adopted laws during the late 1700's that provided for the immediate or gradual end of slavery. Another reason for such laws was simply that slaves had no essential role in the main economic activities of the North.
The census of 1790 revealed that the nation had about 59,000 free blacks, including about 27,000 in the North. By the early 1800's, most Northern states had taken steps to end slavery. Besides former slaves freed by law, free blacks included those who had been freed by their masters, who had bought their freedom, or who had been born of free parents.
After the Revolutionary War, numerous free blacks found jobs in tobacco plants, textile mills, and other factories. Some worked in shipyards, on ships, and later in railroad construction. Many free blacks became skilled in carpentry and other trades. Some became merchants and editors. The best-known editors were Samuel Cornish and John Russwurm, who helped start the first black newspaper, Freedom's Journal, in 1827.
Most whites treated free blacks as inferiors. Many hotels, restaurants, theaters, and other public places barred them. Few states gave free blacks the right to vote. The children of most free blacks had to attend separate schools. Some colleges and universities, such as Bowdoin and Oberlin, admitted black students. But the limited number of admissions led to the opening of black colleges, including Lincoln University in Pennsylvania in 1854 and Wilberforce University in Ohio in 1856.
In both the North and the South, churches either banned blacks or required them to sit apart from white people. As a result, some blacks set up their own churches. In 1816, Richard Allen, a black Philadelphia minister, helped set up the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the first black denomination in the country.
The rising number of free blacks alarmed many whites and led to further restrictions on their activities. In parts of New England, free blacks could not visit any town without a pass. They also needed permission to entertain slaves in their homes. In the South, free blacks could be enslaved if caught without proof that they were free. Fears that free blacks would lead slave revolts encouraged almost all states to pass laws severely limiting the right of free blacks to own weapons.
Increasing concern over the large number of free blacks led to the founding of the American Colonization Society in 1816. The society was sponsored by well-known supporters of slavery, including U.S. Representatives John C. Calhoun of South Carolina and Henry Clay of Kentucky. Their plan was to lessen "the race problem" by transporting free blacks on a voluntary basis to Africa. In 1822, the society established the black American colony of Liberia on the continent's west coast. In 1847, Liberia became the first self-governing black republic in Africa. Although free blacks suffered from discrimination, most felt that the United States was their home. As a result, only about 12,000 of them had volunteered to settle in Liberia by 1850.
In spite of their inferior position, a number of free blacks won wide recognition during the late 1700's and early 1800's. For example, Jupiter Hammon and Phillis Wheatley gained fame for their poetry. Newport Gardner distinguished himself in music. Benjamin Banneker, a mathematician, published outstanding almanacs. Notable black ministers included Absalom Jones in the North and George Liele and Andrew Bryan in the South. Paul Cuffe and James Forten gained great wealth in business. Tom Molineaux became known for his boxing skills.
By 1860, the nation had about 490,000 free blacks. But most of them faced such severe discrimination that they were little better off than the slaves.
Many white Americans, particularly Northerners, felt that slavery was wicked and violated the ideals of democratic government. However, plantation owners and other supporters of slavery regarded it as natural to the Southern way of life. They also argued that Southern culture introduced the slaves to Christianity and helped them become "civilized." Most white Southerners held such beliefs by 1860, though less than 5 percent of them owned slaves and only about half the slave-owners had more than five slaves. In addition, Southern farmers insisted that they could not make money growing cotton without cheap slave labor.
The Southern States hoped to expand slavery as new states were admitted to the Union. However, the Northern States feared they would lose power in Congress permanently if more states that permitted slavery were admitted. The North and the South thereby became increasingly divided over the spread of slavery.
The slavery issue created heated debate in Congress after the Territory of Missouri applied for statehood in 1818. At the time, there were 11 slave states, in which slavery was allowed, and 11 free states, in which it was prohibited. Most Missourians supported slavery, but many Northern members of Congress did not want Missouri to become a slave state. In 1820, Congress reached a settlement known as the Missouri Compromise. This measure admitted Missouri as a slave state, but it also called for Maine to enter the Union as a free state. Congress thus preserved the balance between free and slave states at 12 each.
New, aggressive opponents of slavery began to spring up in the North during the 1830's. Their leaders included William Lloyd Garrison, Lucretia Mott, Lewis Tappan, and Theodore Dwight Weld. During the 1830's and 1840's, these white abolitionists were joined by many free blacks, including such former slaves as Frederick Douglass, Henry Highland Garnet, Harriet Tubman, and Sojourner Truth.
Most of the abolitionist leaders attacked slavery in writings and public speeches. Garrison began to publish an anti-slavery newspaper, The Liberator, in 1831. Douglass, the most influential black leader of the time, started an abolitionist newspaper called the North Star in 1847. Tubman and many other abolitionists helped Southern slaves escape to the free states and Canada. Tubman returned to the South 19 times and personally led about 300 slaves to freedom. She and others used a network of routes and housing to assist the fleeing blacks. This network became known as the underground railroad.
After 1848, Congress had to deal with the question of whether to permit slavery in the territories that the United States gained from Mexico as a result of the Mexican War (1846-1848). The territories covered what are now California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of four other states. Following angry debates among the members of Congress, Senators Henry Clay of Kentucky and Daniel Webster of Massachusetts helped work out a series of measures that became known as the Compromise of 1850. The Compromise allowed slavery to continue but prohibited the slave trade in Washington, D.C. A key measure in the Compromise admitted California to the Union as a free state. Another agreement gave the residents in the other newly acquired areas the right to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery. The Compromise included a federal fugitive slave law that was designed to help slave-owners get back runaway slaves.
The Compromise of 1850 briefly ended the heated arguments in Congress over the slavery issue. However, the abolitionist movement and the hostility between the North and the South continued. The publication of Harriet Beecher Stowe's anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin (1851-1852) greatly increased the tensions between Northerners and Southerners. In addition, attempts by Northerners to stop enforcement of the fugitive slave law further angered Southerners.
The quarrel over slavery flared again in Congress in 1854, when it passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act. This law created two federal territories, Kansas and Nebraska, and provided that the people of each territory could decide whether to permit slavery. Most Nebraskans opposed slavery. However, bitter, bloody conflicts broke out between supporters and opponents of slavery in Kansas. In 1856, for example, the militant abolitionist John Brown led a raid against supporters of slavery in a small settlement on Pottawatomie Creek in Kansas. Brown's group killed five men and focused the nation's attention on the conflict in the territory, which became known as "Bleeding Kansas." In the end, Kansas joined the Union as a free state in 1861.
Supporters of slavery won a major victory in 1857, when the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in the case of Dred Scott v. Sandford. In the Dred Scott Decision, the court denied the claim of Scott, a slave, that his residence in a free state and territory for a time made him free. The court also declared that no black -- free or slave -- could be a U.S. citizen. In addition, it stated that Congress had no power to ban the spread of slavery.
Tension in the South increased again in 1859, when John Brown led another abolitionist group in seizing the United States arsenal at Harpers Ferry in Virginia (now West Virginia). Federal troops quickly captured Brown, and he was executed later that year. But his raid helped convince many Southerners that the slavery issue would lead to fighting between the North and the South.

Q: Canonical way to define common constants in Vue.js? I'm developing a couple of Vue apps using single file components. I find quite a few of my components require common config information, for example an object containing delivery methods which I might define like this:
const DeliveryMethods = {
  DELIVERY: "Delivery",
  CARRIER: "Carrier",
  COLLATION: "Collation",
  CASH_AND_CARRY: "Cash and carry"
}

What is the cannonical way to make that available to my components? At the moment, I have done it with a file 'config.js', as below:
export default {

  DeliveryMethods: {
    DELIVERY: "Delivery",
    CARRIER: "Carrier",
    COLLATION: "Collation",
    CASH_AND_CARRY: "Cash and carry"
  }

}

In my components where I need it, I have import config from 'src/config.js', and where I want to use one of these, I'll refer to e.g., config.DeliveryMethods.CASH_AND_CARRY. This seems to me rather long-winded and repetitive, though, and I'd prefer to be able to use just DeliveryMethods.CASH_AND_CARRY instead of config.DeliveryMethods.CASH_AND_CARRY.
What is the canonical way to based on  js lint and/or the  jquery style guide? Are there any other authorities to consider?

A: delivery-methods/index.js
const DELIVERY = "Delivery"
const CARRIER = "Carrier"
const COLLATION = "Collation"
const CASH_AND_CARRY = "Cash and carry"

export default {
  DELIVERY: DELIVERY,
  CARRIER: CARRIER,
  COLLATION: COLLATION,
  CASH_AND_CARRY: CASH_AND_CARRY
}

Usage
import DeliveryMethods from './path/to/delivery-methods'

console.log(DeliveryMethods.CARRIER)

Or:
config.js
export default Object.freeze({
  DELIVERY: "Delivery",
  CARRIER: "Carrier",
  COLLATION: "Collation",
  CASH_AND_CARRY: "Cash and carry"
})

Usage:
import DeliveryMethods from './path/to/delivery-methods'

console.log(DeliveryMethods.CARRIER)

A: Thanks, this and subhaze's comment pointed me in the right direction. DeliveryMethods isn't the only constant I'd want to use, so export default doesn't work if I want to have all my constants in a single file for ease of maintenance. What I've done is this:
export const DeliveryMethods = {
    DELIVERY: "Delivery",
    CARRIER: "Carrier",
    COLLATION: "Collation",
    CASH_AND_CARRY: "Cash and carry"
};

In my components I have import {DeliveryMethods} from 'src/config.js', which allows me to simply use e.g. DeliveryMethods.COLLATION. I can export/import any number of constants clearly and simply. Still feeling my way round Javascript modules!
LATER: Following WaldemarIce's suggestion, I have changed this to:
export const DeliveryMethods = Object.freeze({
    DELIVERY: "Delivery",
    CARRIER: "Carrier",
    COLLATION: "Collation",
    CASH_AND_CARRY: "Cash and carry"
});

That works better.

1. If your Phone is not rooted, you have to root it first. Rooting method depends on the Device model and ROM. So, better Google it.
Copy your desired Zip file, which you want to edit, to the SD card and then Copy it to your PC Or you can send it directly via Bluetooth or Wifi direct. You can even do the editing using your phone itself, But I recommend using a PC.
6. Extract the Zip archive. You can use any compression utility like 7-Zip or Winrar for this.
It may vary according to the device model. In this file, the first line of code says that my phone is having a resolution of 540*960 and the animation is to be done at a frame rate of 12 fps. That means 12 Images contribute to 1sec of boot animation. The second and third lines define the folders in which the animation images are situated in the Zip file. No need to bother about that, as you are not going to change the folder name, duration etc (unless you are experienced in this).
8. Now navigate to the first folder. Most probably this will be having all the boot animation images. Here, the total no. of images in this folder, divided by the frame rate (as I said in step 7 ) gives the duration of the exact animation. You can change it by altering the frame rate on desc.txt file (Do not edit desc.txt file unless you know what you are actually doing).
9. Now the process is simple. Just create some images of your phone's resolution using Photoshop, Gimp or even paint can do. Save it on the same folder with same names having same order and replace them. You can even edit the existing images to add your names or do anything you want. Just don't change the names or format of these files. It may cause error in some devices.
10. Compress these folders and file to zip and put it back to your phone's System/media directory, replacing the old one. Before that Don't forget to take precaution by creating a flashable Zip of your current animation. The method is given below.
11. Reboot the phone and see the changes. The method is same for both Boot Animation and Shut Animation. Enjoy your new animation!
Since you are dealing with system folder on your phone. chances are there for bricking your phone. But don't worry. We have precautions. Before editing your bootanimation or shutanimation, we will make a flashable Zip of your current animation, so that if something went wrong and phone is not booting, you can just flash the old animation and everything will be alright. no worries! Follow the instructions below.
4. Compress it back to zip and copy to SD card of your device.
5. If something went wrong and your phone is not booting, Open recovery mode (press and hold vol up+ home+ lock buttons) select Flash from Zip and select the zip file from step 4. That's it.
In some phones manufactures will put some restrictions for editing boot animation. Take backup brefore proceeding!
I'm not responsible if something went wrong and your phone is bricked.
if im not take 12 picture.... can i do it ???
Quotes : That means 12 Images contribute to 1sec of boot animation.
540 960 12 = 540 x 960 and 12 fps right ???

Gators Hire Billy Napier as Head Coach
UAA Communications

By: Dominic Tibbetts
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (floridagators.com) — The Gators have selected Billy Napier as the 28th head coach in program history, University of Florida Athletics Director Scott Stricklin announced Sunday.
Napier, who spent the last four seasons as Louisiana's head coach (2018-21), will lead the Ragin' Cajuns in this year's Sun Belt Conference Championship Game when they face App State Saturday, Dec. 4.
He will arrive in Gainesville Sunday, Dec. 5 and a press conference will be held that same day on campus. Details for the press conference will be shared at a later time.
"We are humbled and honored to accept this incredible opportunity to be the head football coach at the university of Florida," Napier said. "Our team, staff and entire organization will work daily to establish a program with integrity and class that we all can be proud of. More importantly, we will build a culture that is centered around making an impact on our players; as people, as students, and on the field.
"We embrace the expectations and are excited about the challenge ahead. We will assemble a special group of people and immediately get to work building a great program. A special thank you to President Dr. Fuchs and Athletic Director Scott Stricklin. We look forward to getting to Gainesville and starting this journey!"
"I've followed and studied Billy Napier's career with interest, and he became the primary target immediately after this position came open," Stricklin said. "We felt confident he would be an excellent leader for the Gators, which is why he was the only candidate I met with about the job.
"Billy's ability to bring highly-talented people together - players, coaches, and staff - along with his vision for having a strong, relationship-based culture is what made him such an attractive choice. Add in how detailed his plan is for player development, staffing and recruiting, along with a sustained desire to improve, and it's easy to see why he's been successful.
"I'm so pleased that Billy, Ali, Annie, Sammy Nelson and Charlie are coming to Gainesville. It's an exciting day for the Gators."

Borde Hill Garden near Haywards Heath in West Sussex had been on my 2020 list of gardens I'd never been to and wanted to visit. Originally it was a pretty extensive list which ended up being shortened to three gardens as things turned out, and I counted myself lucky to get to that many new places.
I was at Borde Hill in September for the annual Specialist Plants Fair, and as a guest of owners Eleni and Andrewjohn Stephenson Clarke, invited as a member of the Garden Media Guild (Eleni is also a member).
The plant fair was made up of independent nurseries, many of them local to the garden, selling a diverse range of perennials and shrubs. The plants were great quality, the nursery people knowledgeable and the prices were good. It was a bonus to go while the fair was on, but it was the garden I was really keen to see.
With most large gardens, the buildings, layout and surroundings are an important part of the package and this is very true of Borde Hill. The house and gardens are surrounded by acres of undulating Sussex countryside in varying hues of green with just the first hints of autumn colour when I was there. Much of this land is part of the 200 acre estate and from just north of the house there are fantastic views across fields to the Ouse Valley viaduct.
At the centre of the garden, which is listed Grade II* by English Heritage, is the house. Its oldest section was built in the 16th century with the central part and the east wing added in the 19th century. The gardens and woodland spread out around it. The formal parts of the garden are arranged in a series of rooms, each with it's own highly distinctive style and they are extensive, well kept, beautiful, and varied. It was the variety that struck me most – whatever type of garden you enjoy visiting and whatever types of plants you're interested in seeing, you would find something you liked here.
In front of the house, beyond the lawn, the Paradise Walk border runs to the West along a wall which gives views of the fields beyond. It was recently designed by Chris Beardshaw but problems with plant deliveries earlier in the year meant that some plants had only recently gone in and some were still to be added. Even so, the late summer show was already impressive, with purple agastache, asters, hardy geraniums, a compact Joe Pye weed (Eupatorium maculatum 'Purple Bush') and salvia-like Lepechinia hastata, combined effectively with yellow flowers of achilliea and various daisies.
Chris Beardshaw has also devised a new planting scheme for the Italian Garden, an area originally created from a tennis court in the 1980s. Smart and stylish, this gorgeous garden combines the structural elements of neatly clipped hedges and formal standard trees with large pots of agapanthus and red pelargoniums around the pond, under which lie tumbling tussocks of self-sown Erigeron karvinskianus. Behind the hedges clumps of salvias and perovskia keep the colour going into autumn while the fountain in the middle of the pond is fun to watch as the leaves fill with water and then tilt to tip it back into the pond. The effect is relaxed and distinctly Mediterranean, especially on a sunny day.
Nearby, the old potting sheds area of the garden has a very different feel. Here what remains of the potting shed walls is cleverly used to create shelter for tender (and some tender-looking but in fact quite hardy) exotic plants, a theme which extends through the Round Dell. Plants here include Lobelia tupa, tetrapanax, colocasia, banana plants (in flower although apparently they don't produce fruit), indigofera, ricinus communis, abutilon megapotanicum, lagerstroemia indica, tender salvias, palms, and much more besides; this area was crammed with interesting plants.
Beyond this are a more hilly and wooded series of areas including the Garden of Allah, which, with its camellias and magnolias must look its best in spring. Stephanie's Glade, filled with rhododendron and carpeted with bluebells, must also be spectacular in spring. There are some magnificent trees in the gardens and parkland, quite a number of them rare. These include around 80 Champion trees, collected and planted since the late 19th century. Look out for Magnolia fraseri and Magnolia officinalis, a chinese tulip tree (Liriodendron chinense) and the handkerchief tree (Davidia involucrata).
In September there was early leaf colour from acers and Prunus sargentii, hydrangeas were still blooming, their fresh white heads mingling with the rouged red of the more mature blooms, and at my feet many colchicums were lapping up the sun.
From here, heading east along a path with great views across parkland and fields to the Ouse Valley Viaduct, you reach the Azalea Ring and Old Rhododendron Garden. Some of the varieties grown here were brought to Britain by Victorian plant hunters and are still flowering now. And between these two spring attractions lie yet another series of gardens.
A sumptuous rose garden, originally designed by Robin Williams in 1996, showcases around 100 modern English rose varieties from David Austin roses, including some of their most recent introductions. These are combined with peonies, phlox and delphiniums. At it's side runs a long border filled with colourful summer perennials – asters, aconites, dahlias, echinops and salvias in flower in September – the perennials punctuated by large shrubs including smokebush, Continus coggygria, and pittosporum.
It's a riot of colour, but just in case you start to feel overloaded with all the drama, you can cross the path to the dappled shade of the white garden, where white flowered asters and Japanese anemone, amongst others, create a completely different, quieter mood.
I'm sure there are areas and plants I haven't mentioned, and much I probably didn't see on this one visit, but you get the picture. Borde Hill is a garden that has been created over many years by a series of plant lovers. You are always aware of its history, but there is also a very healthy present. The current owners are clearly committed and capable not just of preserving what has been planned, introduced and planted in the past but to continuing to develop and improve the gardens, and to keep them up to date. Between the past and the present the various owners of Borde Hill have created a fabulous box of delights.
Borde Hill gardens are now closed for the winter but will reopen on 13th February 2021

Friends say slain Reno couple were former Reno Rodeo president, wife
Siobhan McAndrew
Reno Gazette-Journal
The couple found dead in their south Reno home Wednesday were beloved members of the Reno Rodeo Association and community.
Jerry David was president of the Reno Rodeo in 2006 and his wife Sherri David was a Rodeo Association member. The couple was found dead at about 4 p.m. Wednesday in their home on La Guardia Lane off Zolezzi Lane in South Reno. According to property records, the couple had owned the home since 1986.
"This is just a hard day for everyone," said Mike Torvinen, the rodeo's current president, in an interview with the Reno Gazette Journal. He said word about the couple's death spread quickly.
Longtime friend Alan Squailia was a governing member of the Elks Lodge of Reno with Jerry David.
"This is a wonderful couple," said Squailia, who knew the Davids for 50 years. "To hear them referred to as just an elderly couple, is so not them. They are so much more."
He talked about the couple's love of animals and how they regularly rode their horses.
David often invited Squailia to his cabin in the Ruby Mountains.
"We often traveled together," he said.
David, Squailia said fondly, could get competitive when it came to a game of cards, and he could command a room.
"I mean that in a great way," he said. "He just would walk in a room and be noticed."
On Friday afternoon the Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner's Office identified the couple as 81-year-old Gerald David and his wife, Sharon David, age 80.
During a Thursday press conference, Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam released few details into his department's investigation into the deaths
"We have all come together to make sure the public knows we are working together as a region to keep our community safe and to bring those responsible for the crimes to justice," Balaam said.

More:No 'rhyme or reason:' Motive unknown in 2 Gardnerville Ranchos murders thought possibly connected to deaths in Reno
A beloved couple
Friends remembered Jerry and Sherri David in interview with the RGJ.
"He was just always a gentleman," Torvinen said of Jerry David. Torvinen said David mentored him and always made it clear that he was available to help.
"I never heard him say a bad word about anyone," Torvinen said.
According to the Reno Rodeo, David grew up in Susanville and joined an electrical apprenticeship program. He was a journeyman electrician and estimator and retired as business manager of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
He served as the exalted ruler of the Reno Elks Lodge in 1981, and still was active in the service organization, according to Squailia.
"I'm doing an annual crab feed next week and I knew I could count on him to buy a bunch of tickets and bring his rodeo friends."
Dee Boskie first met the Davids as members of the Elks in 1980.
"They were just the type of couple who would give you the shirt off their backs," Boskie said.
"She was the more outgoing one, but when he had something to say, he said it," Boskie said.
Sherri David said in a special advertising section in the RGJ in 2003 that she and her husband loved the camaraderie of the rodeo and had become collectors of old bits and spurs and horse-related tacks and memorabilia.
"I have learned so much about this cowboy way of life we love," she said.
The couple had been involved in the rodeo since 1991. It was the same year she won a prize for her chocolate cake at the Nevada State Fair.
"The biggest reason I volunteer is the friends I've met. My two best friends I met at the rodeo. I love to be around horse people – good, community-minded people who want to be involved," she said in 2001 in an advertising section on Reno Rodeo in the Reno Gazette Journal.
In 2006, Jerry David wrote in the Reno Rodeo program that it was an honor to serve as its president.
"We are blessed to live in a community with this caliber of workers from all walks of life," he wrote.
In the same program, when asked what advice his mama gave him that still works, he wrote that he left home when he was 10 years old.
"... so I didn't get a lot of advice from my Mom. My adopted aunt, Mrs. Allie Wood, gave something I still use to this day; it's what I end my written messages with. She told me when things aren't going just (right) and you're kind of down in the dumps, 'Always Keep Smiling.'"
This story has been updated to include that the Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner's Office released the names and ages of the couple.

In 1988, Gary Hart was all but a lock to win the presidency. But when a newspaper was tipped off about an extramarital affair, the train derailed quickly.
HAIKU REVIEW
A Timely Story;
Ensemble Cast Does Great Work;
But It Lacks A Voice.
It is no accident that this movie was made at this time and released (in select cities) on the day of the midterm elections. It tells a true story and draws heavy parallels to our time and does so flawlessly, giving the audience a lot to chew on after the house lights go up without spoonfeeding them. Reitman, Bai and Carson have taken a very topical issue (press vs politics) and presented both sides with equal screen time. It's an admirable endeavor, but lacks a strong enough voice to resonate anywhere near the level that must have been its goal.
The cast that the team assembled does some great work, from top billing on down. Hugh Jackman, JK Simmons, Vera Farmiga and more command their roles very well, and those without the necessary amount of screen time (especially Farmiga) make the most of what they are given. Jackman is as likeable as a popular politician needs to be, but since this took place when I was only five, I can't speak accurately to his portrayal of Hart himself. I was also impressed with Molly Ephraim, whom I only really know from Last Man Standing, so I didn't know what she was capable of and she was a pleasant surprise.
Reitman is a director I admire, and it was his name that drew me to this the most. It doesn't rank among his best work for me, but he does a good job of steering a large cast down the path the script has carved out, and employs some distinct style along the way. There are several scenes where there is a lot of dialogue going on amongst a big group of characters and his camera moves effortlessly around the room, in and out of conversations and changing focus to follow what we need to focus on, even if it is changing rapidly. The press conference scenes are tense, claustrophobic and immersive, showing a predatory side of the press that is easy to vilify, if one chooses. Often, when the camera is fixed upon more stable characters, it doesn't move, but shots of Hart are handheld and shaky, aiding the notion that his life is falling apart and that it is rattling him.
The main issue is that, in showing so much of both sides, Reitman and company never firmly come down on one or the other. Are they trying to defend the right to privacy of public figures, damning the behavior of a newly-reprehensible press? Are they saying that the people have a right to know every last detail of those they elect as their leaders, no matter how salacious and damaging? Considering that this is the era of "fake news," a term whose meaning varies widely among those who utter it, I was surprised at the lack of more of a satirical slant. It is more subdued and informative, and while that may be the point (and now that I think of it, could be an indicator of how Reitman wishes the press would operate), it comes off a bit flat as the result. If this truly was the moment where the American press decided the tabloid approach was the right one, that ratings were king and had to be fought for at all cost, then the result should stand out more, instead of being destined to fade into the background like Gary Hart did.

World of Mechanical Engineering: Tips about Suction and Discharge Valves Used In Reciprocating Air Compressor.
Tips about Suction and Discharge Valves Used In Reciprocating Air Compressor.
The performance of air compressor is mostly depending upon the condition of suction and discharge valves. These valves are very important part in any reciprocating air compressor and engineering field. That's why due care must be required. Every valve requires a periodic inspection and maintenance. Here you will find, important information about suction and discharge valves used in Chicago Pneumatic Air Compressor.
To avoid damage to the valve and inner dowel pins, it is suggested to use a simple fixture for dismantle and assemble valves. Never tightened the valve directly in a vice and do not hammer on spanner when loosening or tightening the nut.
Examine all the parts thoroughly after dismantled the valve. Remove the carbon formation with the help of Trichloroethylene or diesel and light scraping paper or brush. Don't scratch the valve plate or seat while cleaning. Completely dry out the valves before installing it on compressor.
When valve plate, damper plate, spring plate shows sign of wear, it is imperative to replace these parts, even if no breakage has occurred. A maximum wear of about 10 % of the total thickness of valve plate is allowed. For highest efficiency of the valve it is important that the seat face is flat and free from any traces of wear, thus preventing valve leakage. If any damage on the seat observed, it is recommended to replace the same. Dew to presence of dowel pins, re-machining or lapping can not be carried out. It is also suggested to use a new valve plate with new valve seat.
A) Do the valve assembly in required sequence. (Refer diagram from instruction manual) Use fixture for proper tightening of valve nut. Check valve plate for free movement.
B) Test valves for leakage and insure it made dry after testing.
C) Suction valve equipped with unloader, the clearance between the valve plate and unloader lifter as well as the clearance between unloading piston and lifter is checked.
D) Valve cover nuts have to be tightened with specific torque by torque wrench.
E) The hollow side of the thin part in the centre of the valve plate must be placed upward facing, valve keeper.
The above information will help you to increase life of suction and discharge valve and hence the discharge pressure of the air compressor.
Avoid Breakdown of Air Compressor due to Low Water Flow.
