A box of UMC bullets revisited......
Here's a box of 25 UMC two groove hollow point lead bullets that may be familiar to those who have been following my picture pages for a while. I included a picture of this box sometime in 2002, I think, perhaps a little earlier. Unfortunately, I didn't keep copies of my first picture pages, so I can't say for sure just when it was. At the time, I asked if anyone had ever seen a .44-40 WCF loaded with a hollow point lead bullet. I didn't get a response; I think they are pretty unusual, as I have never seen one. I have only recently run across something close, however, which suggests I may have been looking for the wrong cartridge all along. I've included a picture of a .44-40 black powder cartridge that is sporting an uncommon REM-UMC 44 REM headstamp and what appears to be one of these same hollow point lead bullets. This headstamp, applied by Remington-UMC to what was otherwise the standard .44-40 WCF black powder load, was intended to provide owners of the old Remington Model 1875 and 1890 Single Action Army revolvers with a recognizable cartridge that was safe to use in their black powder revolvers after the introduction of smokeless powder. It shows no evidence of having been reloaded, so I believe it is an original factory load.
A seldom seen view of the .45 Brown Standard......
Here's a cartridge that you just don't see in every cigar box of mixed cartridges. This is the .45-100 Brown Standard, made for use in the J. H. Brown Standard Military Rifle. A total of twenty of the Brown rifles were handmade for the 1883 international rifle team. It was a full-stocked single shot rifle based on a modified Sharps action. The cartridge used an unheadstamped, Berdan primed, flat base 2.6" Sharps case and a special 550 grain paper patched bullet with an unusual profile made by H. F. Clark of Pohkeepsie, N.Y. Unlike most patched bullets, the patch on Mr. Clark's bullet does not cover the base, perhaps for the purpose of leaving the raised H.F. CLARK PO'KEEPSIE, N.Y. mark that he put on each one exposed. While the cartridge is quite rare, pictures of it are fairly common in the collecting journals and reference books. What I have never seen pictured is the base of the bullet, an omission that I have corrected here.
An original box of these cartridges is pictured on page 26 in the January 1969 issue of The Gun Report. It is a poor quality picture which will not reproduce well; the label reads:
10 CARTRIDGES / PRODUCED EXPRESSLY FOR / Brown's Standard Military Rifle / MANUFACTURED BY THE / BROWN STANDARD FIRE ARMS CO / NEW-YORK
A similar cartridge, the .450-2 6/10" match, was produced by Eley for use in a falling block, single shot target rifle made by Fraser of Edinburgh, Scotland. This cartridge, like the Brown Standard, used the 2.6" Sharps case and a patched bullet that closely resembled the profile of the Clark bullet. I don't know which came first, but the two cartridges look so much alike it is fairly certain that one copied the other. Anyone with a collection of Robert Buttweilers cartridge auction catalogs can find the Fraser cartridge as lot 148 in volume II, no 3.
And speaking of the 1883 International Match Rifle Team, here's a copy of an engraving of the 16 dapper members of the team that appeared in Harper's Weekly in June of 1883. In addition to being skilled with a rifle, it would appear that one prerequisite for consideration for a coveted spot on the team was the ability to sport an abundance of facial hair, perhaps a chauvinist ploy to minimize to some degree the possibility of having to deal with female competitors.
Three early cartridges for the trapdoor carbine....
In January of 1874, production of the Benet-primed cartridge for the 1873 Springfield rifle and carbine commenced at Frankford Arsenal. The rifle cartridge was loaded with 70 grains of black powder and a 405 grain three groove lead bullet. In order to reduce recoil, the carbine cartridge was loaded with 55 grains of powder. The same 405 grain bullet was used, seated at the same depth as for the rifle cartridge, with seven pasteboard wads to fill the empty space in the cartridge case between the powder and the base of the bullet. Because the rifle and carbine cartridges looked the same externally, it soon became apparent that some means of identification might be helpful to distinguish between them once they were removed from their boxes. In late July of 1874, on a trial basis, the arsenal began applying a raised US CARBINE headstamp to the carbine cartridges. Three of these headstamped cartridges are shown in the picture to the right. The headstamp was applied using the case heading machine, but due perhaps to the added cost and/or the complexity of the process, the trial lasted only one week. As a result, a very limited number of these headstamped carbine cartridges were produced. I suspect they were enough of a novelty at the time that not many were fired, yet they still don't show up very often for sale. The headstamps on these tend to be lightly stamped and are often almost illegible; I have included below an enlarged view of the heads of the three cartridges to make it a little easier to see the markings. I realize that a single cartridge would have have been sufficient to illustrate this headstamp, but I had never seen more than one of these at any one time, so I couldn't resist sharing this picture of three that managed to find themselves on my desk at the same time. Condition on these cartridges tends also to be lacking. The bullets of every one that I have seen have been a little dinged up; the one on the cartridge on the right in the picture has been pushed out of the case about 1/8". This probably resulted from the excess pressure exerted on the base of the bullet due to the seven wads; in September of 1876, the number of wads used in the carbine cartridges was reduced to five, specifically to reduce the pressure and prevent the bullets from being dislodged. It should also be noted that it wasn't until March of 1877 that the identification problem between rifle and carbine cartridges was finally resolved, at which time all cartridges were given headstamps, R F 3 77 for the rifle cartridges and C F 3 77 for the carbine cartridges.


Looking back on my nearly five decades of life, I found myself face to face with bad decisions and detrimental life mistakes I had made. Did I really do THAT? Did I really date THAT guy or jump into THAT important life decision on a whim? How could I be so stupid?
Yet, it turns out my mistakes were even worse than that. I had buried most of my life mistakes away from conscious memory. And, lo and behold, many of those memories decided to pay a visit all together at the same time.
It seemed as though I had made ignorant decisions every day of my life, all day long. Apparently, I thought, I must have been the world's biggest idiot.
But then I thought about that…. Wait a minute…. I'm STILL making life mistakes! They're only newer and BETTER mistakes. What's going on here exactly?
Eventually, the reality hit. Mistakes are constant. We are ALL making mistakes, ALL the time. Even if we aren't learning anything new and even if we never leave the house, mistakes are being made in our very own mind.
Truthfully, however, victories and success are constant as well. Most of us are only aware of a very small percentage of what's occurring in our multidimensions of consciousness at any given point.
But what about those mistakes? Let's say you decide to learn snowboarding or skiing. Let's say you get all of your gear, take some lessons, and you're at the top of a beginner's run. If you didn't know it was perfectly normal and natural to fall down, you might feel some shame when that happens. You might even berate yourself. To avoid embarrassment, maybe you try as hard as you could to reach the bottom of the hill without falling down. But, what happens then? By constricting your energy in nervousness, you end up falling down even MORE and going home with some injuries and public humiliation.
Let's say you go back the next day. This time you accept the fact you WILL HAVE to fall down if you want to learn a new skill. After you accept the fact of falling, this time you learn how to fall BETTER, and preferably in a soft patch of snow. When you intend to go one way and your board or skis go another way, you learn to ride with the mistake and course correct later. In fact, you can now flow with every turn which inherently involves a fluctuation of intended and unintended consequences. Welcome to life itself!
You might notice professionals make mistakes all the time. But they're so good at what they do, even their mistakes are admirable or hardly noticeable to the public eye. That's because they accept, incorporate, or use their mistakes for something even better. They aren't worried about it because they know failures are a fundamental aspect of success. They also have enough self-awareness to realize they have no choice but to accept it all.
So, the best way to fix your life mistakes is to fully accept the fact of their existence and to even welcome them with open arms. You need them to experience life. It's much easier to accept a mistake when you realize your true self is the person EXPERIENCING it, rather than being the mistake itself. Failure-success is a valuable, worthwhile life experience, but it's still only an experience – not who you really are.


Just posting to let you know that we know the links are all broken. I had good intentions of putting those pages together, but Fireworks was being a complete nuisance and refusing to do symbols properly. Then I had to get the slicing to work too.
Anyway, the job's mostly done. Whaddyathink? It's a bit smoother than the old interface, anyway.

Das Kloster Gunda Gunde () ist ein Kloster der Äthiopisch-Orthodoxen Tewahedo-Kirche und liegt im Norden Äthiopiens, südlich von Adigrat im Osten der Region Tigray. Es ist als Entstehungs- und Aufbewahrungsort zahlreicher wertvoller Ge'ez-Handschriften bekannt.

Geschichte

Das Kloster wurde Ende des 14. oder Anfang des 15. Jahrhunderts als Zufluchtsort von Eustathianern gegründet. Diese Bewegung, die auf den Heiligen Eustathius () von Äthiopien (1273–1352) zurückging, zeichnete sich unter anderem durch die Beobachtung des Sabbats aus. Nach einer Legende, die Justinus de Jacobis berichtet, hätten die Mönche sich bei den Bewohnern der Gegend beliebt gemacht, weil sie durch ihre Gebete einen Drachen gezähmt hätten, dem zuvor Menschenopfer dargebracht worden seien. Der erste historisch bezeugte Abt war Estifãnos († 1438), dessen Anhänger, die Stefaniten, längere Zeit in Opposition zur offiziellen Kirche standen. Seit Abt Gabra Masih I. (1475–1520) wurden die Stefaniten aber von der Großkirche als orthodox akzeptiert. Während der Feldzüge des Ahmad Guray im 16. Jahrhundert, denen viele Kirchen und Klöster der Äthiopischen Kirche zum Opfer fielen, blieb Gunda Gunde verschont. Wahrscheinlich wurden in dieser Zeit Handschriften aus anderen Klöstern hierher gebracht – das könnte jedenfalls erklären, warum sich in Gunda Gunde zahlreiche Handschriften finden, die älter als das Kloster sind. In der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts, als Justinus de Jacobis das Kloster besuchte, standen der Abt und die Mönche des Klosters zeitweise Unionsbestrebungen nahe, das Kloster blieb aber bei der orthodoxen Tewahedo-Kirche. Eine Liste der Äbte von Estifãnos bis zu Gabra Masih III. († 1844) teilt Antonio Mordini nach einer Handschrift des Klosters mit.

Lage, Gebäude und Bibliothek
Das Kloster, das mehrere Kilometer von der nächsten Ortschaft entfernt ist, liegt am Fuße eines 1450 m hohen Bergmassivs. Es nimmt eine annähernd ovale Fläche ein und ist etwa 250 m lang und 150 m breit. Die meisten Gebäude dienen als Wohnhäuser für die Mönche. Die Hauptkirche (dabra garzēn) mit annähernd rechteckigem Grundriss steht im Zentrum des Geländes, in der Mitte eines großen, ummauerten Platzes. Im Allerheiligsten dieser Kirche fand Mordini die Schätze dieses Klosters: Eine beeindruckende Sammlung von Handschriften, die er erstmals provisorisch katalogisierte.

Die Handschriften des Klosters wurden durch die Universität Toronto digitalisiert, nachdem eine internationale Kooperation von Michael Gervers (Universität Toronto), Ewa Balicka-Witakowska (Universität Uppsala), Jan Retsö (Universität Göteborg) und Denis Nosnitsin (Universität Hamburg) dies ermöglicht hatte.

Die früher für die Forschung nicht zugänglichen Handschriften von Gunda Gunde können seitdem für Publikationen herangezogen werden. So verwendet Mirjam Judith Bokhorst in ihrer Edition von 1. Henoch 14–16 erstmals die Handschrift Gunda Gunde 151, eine der bedeutendsten Henoch-Handschriften, und zwei weitere aus Gunda Gunde stammende, jetzt in Parma sowie in einer privaten amerikanischen Sammlung befindliche Handschriften.

Other Sights for Artists' Projects was pleased to produce Digital Natives, a public artwork sited on the electronic billboard at the Burrard Street Bridge between April 4 and April 30, 2011. Curators Lorna Brown and Clint Burnham invited artists and writers from across North America to contribute messages to be broadcast over the month of April, coinciding with the 125th Anniversary of the City of Vancouver. Curators: Lorna Brown, Clint Burnham Artwork Contributors: Candice Hopkins, cheyanne turions, Chris Bose, Christian Bök, Daina Warren, Edgar Heap of Birds, Emily Fedoruk, Henry Tsang, Larissa Lai, Lisa Robertson, Lori Emerson, Marianne Nicolson, Marie Annharte Baker, Mercedes Eng, Michael Turner, Peter Morin, Phillip Djwa, Postcommodity (Raven Chacon, Kade L. Twist, Steven Yazzie, Nathan Young), Rachel Zolf, Raymond Boijoly, Rita Wong, Roger Farr, Sonny Assu, Tania Willard.
Digital Natives intervened in the physical, social and historical context of the site, the billboard and the city with a series of ten-second text messages interrupting the rotation of advertisements. Taking the form of Twitter messages, invited contributors responded to the site's charged history, the ten-second format and the 140-character limit of tweets. The contributed messages in English were selectively translated into Skwxwú7mesh; Kwak'wala and h?n'q'emin'?m' and these, along with messages resulting from workshops with urban Aboriginal youth, completed the launch of the project. The billboard itself became an artistic and literary space for exchange between native and non-native communities exploring how language is used in advertising, its tactical role in colonization, and as a complex vehicle of communication. Encouraging dialogue among artists and writers, between First Nations and non-First Nations communities, and between artists, writers and the public, Digital Natives is public art that the public not only 'receives', but also produced. Local and remote audiences were welcomed to tweet their messages to @diginativ, and they were considered for broadcast. Contributor messages were formatted in blue text on a red background: public tweets displayed as red text on a blue background.


Some challenges are just too tempting to resist.
At the back of my garden, I have a wall full of roses – three bushes which cover the space with large, dark red blooms with a lovely heady fragrance. As roses feature in a lot of Middle Eastern cuisine, this set me thinking: could I make something with them?
A few moments online suggested something very easy to try would be to make rose jam (or more precisely, rose jelly). The idea is pretty simple – just steep the roses in hot water to extract their colour and perfume, them mix the strained liquid with pectin-rich sugar and briefly boil. So rose jam it would be.
In working out how to make this jam, I found there were two approaches. One involved just using the rose petals and leaving it at that, while others suggest adding a few drops of rose extract at the end of the cooking process to enhance the flavour. Well, this second option seemed to me to be a little like cheating – the only reason to make rose jam in the first place is to capture their perfume, so if you're getting that perfume from a bottle, then you might as well just boil up a sugar-pectin mixture, and throw in some flavour and not bother with the real thing. Needless to say, I opted for the "natural" approach and hoped for the best.
The first part of making rose jam is both interesting and alarming. You pop the petals into a large saucepan with hot water, then watch them wilt down and turn quite pale as their colour seeps into the water. At this point, the colour of the water can be quite surprising – either a murky brown colour is you use pale petals, while dark red petals turn the liquid almost blue. You have the scent of the roses, but the colour just is not what you would imagine. However, there is an all-natural trick which helps fix things. A simple dash of lemon juice does something to the murky rose water, and it changes, in my case from dark blue to a rich red, just like wine.
This recipe is easy, and while it is very sweet, it does have the colour and scent of roses. It's not one to spread on fruitcake or gingerbread where the flavour would be lost. You want to serve alongside something simple, like scones with cream, so that the delicate taste is not overpowered by something else. That, or get more adventurous, and use it when making baklava, on yoghurt or in various desserts that might suggest warm evenings in Persian rose fields.
If you're going to make this, just be sure to use natural flowers – ideally from the garden or somewhere wild, where you can be sure that they have not been sprayed with any chemical nasties. Sadly this means you will probably need to avoid the spectacular roses you can buy in your local florist. Just pop those into a vase and admire them!
1. Put the rose petals into a saucepan. Pour on the boiling water, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for around 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave to steep for another 20 minutes.
2. Add the lemon juice to the liquid, which should change the colour to pink or red. Filter the liquid into a large pot and add the sugar.
3. Put the pot onto a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil, then simmer until you reach the setting point.
4. Once the jam is ready to bottle, leave to cool slightly, then spoon into prepared, sterilised bottles.
Worth making? If your garden has only three roses, don't bother, and just enjoy them in their natural form. However, this is a lovely way to use roses if you have dozens and dozens of them, and helps to make summer last just that little bit longer.

"Gangsters" is the first single by the English ska group The Specials.

Recording and release
"Gangsters" was recorded in January 1979 in Studio One of Horizon Studios in Coventry. Horace Panter recalls that the song "had so much bass on it that it had to be recut as the bass blew the needle out of the record's grooves" and that "to compensate for the low end, Jerry [Dammers] overdubbed a treble-heavy piano on". The vocals were created by Terry Hall singing a "bored" vocal and an "angry" vocal, which were then mixed together.

Versions of "Nite Klub" and "Too Much Too Young" were also recorded, but it was decided they didn't quite work, so the band then had to find a B-side to "Gangsters". John Bradbury, who had only recently joined the band, replacing Silverton Hutchinson,  suggested a instrumental track he had recorded in 1977 with Neol Davies, called "The Kingston Affair". Dammers asked Davies to put a ska rhythm guitar on the song and it was then retitled "The Selecter", becoming the B-side to "Gangsters".

A limited 5,000 copies of the track were distributed by the fledgling 2 Tone record label in May 1979, as a double A-side along with "The Selecter", which was credited to the Selecter, who would form properly later that year. The actual wording of the original single is 'The Special A.K.A Gangsters vs. The Selecter', with the 'vs.' being the idea of Dammers, from a poster advertising a sound system battle.

It was given a full release two months later, and went on to reach No. 6 in the UK charts for the week of 2-8 September, 1979, becoming both The Specials' and the 2 Tone label's first hit record. The single was first aired on John Peel's Radio 1 show on Monday 7 May, where he was so pleased with it that he played the other side as well.

History
The song is about an incident that happened to the band while on tour in France with the Clash. They were held responsible for damage in a hotel that another English band (rumoured to be The Damned) had caused, and the hotel manager held one of their guitars as collateral. The situation escalated when the hotel called the local police, and ended with the Specials paying for the damage.

The song is a reworking of Prince Buster's 1964 ska classic "Al Capone", sampling the car sound effects that opened that song. The opening line "Al Capone's guns don't argue" was changed to "Bernie Rhodes knows, don't argue" as an insult aimed at Bernard Rhodes, who had briefly been the band's manager.

Despite being a top 10 hit, the song did not appear on the UK version of any studio album by the band, although it was included on some overseas releases of their first album.

Want to ensure your gums and teeth are healthy and stay that way?
Good dental hygiene can prevent almost all common dental conditions including tooth decay and gum disease, which in the worst cases can lead to loss of teeth. Poor dental health has also been linked to other problems, including heart disease.
One of the best things you can do to prevent such dental problems from developing is to make regular visits to our hygienists Jemma and Lesley at Brixworth Dental Practice.
Not only can they give your gums, teeth and mouth a thorough clean to get rid of any lingering bacteria but they can also give you help and advice on how to brush and floss effectively at home.
It is recommended that patients should see a hygienist every six months although in some cases more regular visits may be needed. It is particularly important for people who smoke to see a hygienist regularly.
Please give us a call to book in an appointment with Jemma or Lesley at Brixworth Dental Practice.

Micro Cap funds – recent numbers
A quick note today, on micro-cap (and small cap) investment trusts. This is a space I think is perfectly suited to closed-end fund investing, not least because it favours stock pickers who are willing to engage in properly active strategies. Traditionally the choice for micro-cap funds has been fairly limited, although there's always been a larger pool of small-cap funds available. The good news is that in the last few years we've seen an explosion of new funds, most of them listed in the table below.
The even better news is that overall performance over the last 12 months has been impressive but hugely VARIED. I emphasized this last feature because that is precisely what we'd expect. If you are investing in an obviously volatile asset class, with varying correlations both between micro-cap indices and wider markets AND between micro-cap stocks themselves, you'd expect to see wildly varying returns – especially this late in the bull cycle.
What is perhaps more surprising is the degree of underperformance by some of the funds. I think the Downing fund, for instance, is an excellent choice, with a proven manager but recent performance has been more than a little uninspiring. Miton Micro Cap – another excellent manager with a great reputation – has also had a tough year and is "only" up 16% in share terms over the last 12 months. The Athelney trust, a long established bell weather for the micro-cap space, has also had a rather pedestrian 12 months, up 17% although it is up a rather more impressive 8% over the last month. All three of these funds have underperformed a reference benchmark such as the Numis Smaller Cos index.
The stand out star has been River and Mercantile which is probably my favourite fund in this space. It's turned in a 4% return over the last month but is up a cracking 55% over the last year. No wonder the fund is having to redeem shares yet again – it has a hard limit of £100m and has already handed money back to shareholders in the summer. According to Numis this second compulsory redemption of shares will amount to c.£15m. The redemption price is 191.24p with proceeds expected by 15 December. The redemption represents c.13.1% of assets. So, another set of cheques should land just before Xmas. This is an impressive show of intent – the fund really does want to stay at what it thinks is the right size.
Rather less impressive are the bid-offer spreads. I've detailed these in the table below. Spreads of more than 2% are frankly unacceptable and River and Mercantile is currently trading at a 4% spread – although that number is topped by Athelney which is at 8%. The funds' brokers need to do much, much more to close this gap and encourage increased supply.
One last comment. Looking at the broader global small-cap space, the stand out performer is another one of my favourites – Edinburgh Worldwide, a stock which I hold in my SIPP. This is up 45% over the last 12 months. By contrast ScotGem, a new global EM small-cap fund has had a disappointing start with a loss of 2.5% over the last 3 months. As a side note, its bid offer spread is a whopping 5%.
Fund Bid offer spread 1 mth 3 mth 6 mth 1 year

How unions helped build a middle class for workers in the U.S.A.
Essay by Harry Kelber
This essay was published in the Feb. 13, 2012 edition of the Labor Educator, and it is reprinted here with permission because we cannot be reminded too often of why the labor movement has been so important to the ongoing struggle by the People to form a more perfect Union.
Unions have been around for more than a century, and they've done more good for America's working people — union and non-union — and have gotten less credit for it than any institution in the United States.
In producing their remarkable achievements, unions had to overcome selfish, stubborn employers and their conservative allies, both in and outside of Congress.
As far back as 1828, thanks to unions, America's children have the right to a free elementary school education. Wealthy people at that time said that workers should pay the same for education, as they paid for the food, clothing and other necessities for their children.
During the dark days of the Great Depression, unions fought for and won several of the greatest landmark victories that helped build an American Middle Class. In 1935, they played a principal role in creating Social Security, at a time when few workers had pensions to help them in retirement.
That same year, the National Labor Relations Act was born, giving workers the right to be represented by a union in collective bargaining with their employer. Workers no longer had to face their boss all alone in asking for a wage increase or some other benefit and risk the possibility of being fired.
The passage of the Wages and Hours Act in 1938 led to the 40-hour workweek, supplanting a system where workers toiled for 60 hours or more in a six day workweek, mostly without overtime pay. (Unions had made the 8-hour workday their top priority for decades.)
Hundreds of thousands of working women and ethnic minorities joined the newly-born Committee for Industrial Organizations (CIO) in 1939. They found that unions could protect them against discrimination and harassment and they could win better wages and benefits.
Unions, in coalition with consumer groups, compelled Congress to pass the Pure Food and Drug Act (1906), which companies fought against, calling it government meddling. An intense lobbying campaign by the American Federation of Labor (AFL) created a workers' compensation law in 1917, covering compensation for accidents on the job in 30 states. In the past 90 years, the law has benefited millions of workers who were temporarily or permanently disabled.
The AFL-CIO was in the forefront in the battle to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1965. In Title VII, the Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender, race, religion or national origin.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970 was a milestone in the AFL-CO's continuing campaign to protect the health and safety of its members in the workplace.
Why Big Business spends millions to try to get rid of unions
It is no secret that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and major corporations have spent million of dollars to attack unions in order to weaken their bargaining power. They hire a brigade of union-busting consultants and lobbyists to promote anti-labor laws in Republican-controlled state legislatures. There was even an anti-union ad that ran during this year's Super Bowl on Washington, DC television, advocating passage of the anti-union Employee Rights Act.
It's not hard to figure out why Big Business is so adamant about crippling unions and creating a union-free environment. It boils down to the issues of money and power. If organized labor could be wiped out as the voice of 15 million unionists, employers could control the nation's economic system to their complete advantage. Just imagine what would happen to wages, benefits, middle class standards and protective social legislation if unions ceased to exist.
Unions have improved the lives of all workers in the past and have the capacity to do even better in the future. But, the labor movement has much to do to educate their own members about labor's history and to convince non-members that unions will work for them.
On the basis of historic evidence, millions of additional workers should come together and join unions for their mutual advantage.
Harry Kelber, author of the series of The Labor Educator booklets, has served the labor movement for more than seven decades as a journalist, organizer, educator and constructive critic. For decades, international unions and hundreds of locals and labor councils have used The Labor Educator publications to educate members and the public and to facilitate organizing and political action. The most popular booklets have been "Why Unions Are in Politics," "Why Unions Are Good For You and Your Family ," "Por Que Los Sindicatos Son Buenos Para Usted Y Su Familia" and "Belong and Be Strong: The Union Story for Students."

Family law solicitors are warning that the price of obtaining a divorce may soon become unaffordable for many as the cost to file a divorce as imposed by The Ministry of Justice in England and Wales is set for a further dramatic increase.
The fee for filing a divorce in County Court increased by 14% to £340.00 from £300 on 1st September 2010. Following comments from the Ministry of Justice that the current position for the funding of divorce and family matters is 'unsustainable', further fee increases are expected by 2011.
"It is worrying that with the rumoured increases in Family Court Proceedings, and specifically filing the petition for divorce, couples might be put off filing for divorce due to concerns regarding costs. Whilst it is always sad when a marriage breaks down, the strain of staying in a marriage that is no longer working and is beyond recovery can have wider, long-lasting consequences on the individuals and any children involved.
"Even with the rise in Court fees as implemented on 1st September 2010, Farleys offer affordable solutions for obtaining a divorce. Our fixed fee divorce service has been designed as an affordable option and costs only £650 (plus VAT), plus any applicable Court fees.
"Whilst a fixed fee divorce might not be open to all couples, as the service is dependent upon the divorce being undefended, (ie. where both parties are in agreement and wish to proceed without argument) we will be able to advise you of the best option for you at an early stage".

Q: Create an instance of an object using an Expression I have this class
public class TableSettings
{

    public string TableCssClass
    {
        get;
        set;
    }

    public string EditAction
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
}

and I want to be able to send an instance of this object via parameters doing something like this:
, tableSettings => {
        tableSettings.TableCssClass = "table";
        tableSettings.EditAction = "action";
    });

A: Why do you want to use a lambda to create an Object? You can just construct objects like in the following example.
, new ObjectName {
    Property1 = value1,
    Property2 = value2
});

A: This lambda isn't creating an object.
Lambdas like these are used to configure already created objects, not create new instances. When you see code like this in a .NET Core example, the logging instance is created inside AddLogging itself :
services.AddLogging(logging =>
    {
        logging.SetMinimumLevel(LogLevel.Warning)
               .AddConsole();
    })

If you check the source code for AddLogging you'll see it creates a new LoggingBuilder instance and passes it as an argument to the lambda :
public static IServiceCollection AddLogging(this IServiceCollection services,
        Action<ILoggingBuilder> configure)
{
   ...
   configure(new LoggingBuilder(services));
   return services;
}
