Lunsford Lindsay Lomax ( - ) est un officier de l'armée des États-Unis qui démissionne pour rejoindre l'armée des États confédérés au début de la guerre de Sécession. Il garde une forte amitié avec son camarade de West Point, Fitzhugh Lee, et sert sous ses ordres en tant que brigadier général lors de la campagne de l'Overland. Il prend ensuite le commandement du district de la vallée, où il supervise les opérations de collecte d'information des rangers de Mosby.

Avant la guerre
Né à Newport, Rhode Island, fils de l'officier d'ordonnance natif de Virginie Mann P. Lomax, Lunsford Lomax est nommé « at-large » à l'académie militaire de West Point, New York, et est diplômé en 1856 avec son camarade de promotion et ami Fitzhugh Lee. Affecté dans le prestigieux 2nd Cavalry regiment, Lomax combat sur la frontière et sert pendant le Bleeding Kansas pendant les années précédant immédiatement le conflit.

Guerre de Sécession
Lomax démissionne de l'armée en , et peu après accepte une commission de capitaine dans la milice de l'État de Virginie et est affecté à l'état-major de Joseph E. Johnston en tant adjudant général adjoint. Lomax sert plus tard en tant qu'inspecteur général pour Benjamin McCulloch, devenant lieutenant colonel avant d'être transféré sur le théâtre oriental.

Nommé colonel du 11th Virginia Cavalry à temps pour la campagne de Gettysburg, Lomax est promu brigadier général à la suite de la bataille. Lomax combat avec sa brigade sous le commandement de la division de son vieux camarade de promotion Fitzhugh Lee de Culpeper Court House jusqu'à la Wilderness et autour de Petersburg jusqu'à ce qu'il soit promu major général en août 1864 lorsqu'il est affecté auprès de Jubal Early dans la vallée de la Shenandoah.
Le , sa brigade rencontre celle du brigadier général Alfred Thomas Torbert, ouvrant la bataille de Saint Mary's Church, où la cavalerie confédérée de Wade Hampton tente d'intercepter en vain une colonne de wagon de ravitaillement protégée par la cavalerie sous les ordres de David McM. Gregg.
Après avoir éviter la capture lors de la , Lomax reçoit le commandement du district de la vallée. Lorsque  est évacué, Lomax tente de joindre ses forces avec les hommes de  à Lynchburg, Virginie, mais n'y parvient pas. Lomax se rend finalement avec Joe Johnston en Caroline du Nord.

Le rôle de Lomax dans la formation des unités de partisans qui combattent en Virginie du Nord pendant la dernière partie de la guerre est moins connu. Dans un exposé fait au Caroline Harper Long peu avant sa mort, publié dans le Baltimore Sun en 1920 par Beth Rhoades, intitulé « Gray Ghost of the Confederacy », Mosby écrit :

Ainsi, il est clair qu'une partie de l'opacité qui entoure la carrière militaire de Lomax vient du fait qu'il était le commandant de Mosby et plus indirectement des autres unités de partisans de la vallée qui ont fourni des informations au général Lee et aux autres. En fait, Mosby raconte à Caroline Harpern, une relation qui serait née dans les cercles aristocratiques de la vieille Virginie, la fille illégitime d'un célèbre politicien, qu'il n'aurait pas pu citer avant la mort de Lomax, de façon à le protéger, puisqu'ils sont de très proches amis, pendant et après la guerre.

Après la guerre
Après Appomattox, Lomax s'établit dans une ferme dans les comtés de Caroline et de Fauquier pendant 20 ans, puis est nommé président du Virginia Polytechnic Institute en 1889. Servant pendant cinq ans, Lomax devient clerc dans le département à la guerre rassemblant et publiant les procès-verbaux officiels de la guerre et pendant un temps commissaire du .

Lomax meurt le  et est enterré à Warrenton, Virginia.

Brave flight attendant won highest award
BOAC Boeing 707 at London Heathrow Airport in 1964. Photographed by Adrian Pingstone
Today is the anniversary of a largely forgotten crash, but a story worth telling about the only cabin crewmember—and the only woman in peacetime—to be awarded the George Cross, Britain's highest civilian medal for bravery.
On 8 April 1968, a British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) Boeing 707 took off from London Heathrow bound ultimately for Sydney. Within seconds there was an explosion—a fire in the No. 2 engine. The aircraft made an immediate left turn, and was cleared to land on another, shorter runway. It touched down after three minutes and 32 seconds, with its left-side fuselage windows melting.
The citation for crew member Jane Harrison's George Cross describes what happened next:
When the aircraft landed Miss Harrison and the steward concerned opened the rear galley door and inflated the chute, which unfortunately became twisted on the way down so that the steward had to climb down it to straighten it before it could be used. Once out of the aircraft he was unable to return; hence Miss Harrison was left alone to the task of shepherding passengers to the rear door and helping them out of the aircraft. She encouraged some passengers to jump from the machine and pushed out others. With flames and explosions all around her and escape from the tail of the machine impossible, she directed her passengers to another exit while she remained at her post.
Harrison was last seen going back into the aisle to look for more passengers. Her body was found with four passengers, including a disabled woman, near the rear door. All had been killed by asphyxiation. She was 22, and had worked as cabin crew for just under two years.
The crash of BOAC flight 712 has many human factors lessons that are applicable even now, with vastly different technology—how the controller proactively directed go-arounds for aircraft approaching the nearby runway; how confusion between the check captain and the flight crew led to the fire shut-off handle not being pulled, prolonging the inferno; and, how the real job of cabin crew is not serving tea, coffee and pleasantries, but saving lives. Author Susan Ottaway wrote a biography of Jane Harrison, Fire over Heathrow, in 2008. Part of the book can be viewed on Google Books.

A very sad story, but with fitting recognition. Some discussion in a later article about the human factors in the cockpit of this BOAC accident might be interesting. How did they train in that era for emergencies in the cabin and in the flight deck? What was the company culture for training and crew coordination at the time? I take it the flight deck crew and check captain made good their escape after forgetting to pull the fire shutoff.

Why Is it Called Washington, DC?
February 6, 2019 Articles
There has always been a little confusion around the location and title of the political center of America. For one, the capital shares its name with a state that is not located anywhere near it. And secondly, the land where the capital is located, known as the District of Columbia, is neither a state, not exists within a state itself. So what is up with all of this? Why is it called Washington, DC in the first place? Let's dismantle this mystery step by step.
The Residence Act of 1790
Back in 1790, there were many cities in the running to become capital of the United States. Among them were places like New York, Boston, and Trenton. Of course, Washington, DC was ultimately selected. So how did this decision come to be?
It all started earlier that year, when Congress passed the Residence Act by a relatively close margin of 32-29. This act granted then President George Washington the power to choose a location for the capital city. There was one condition, however. The capital had to be located along the East Bank of the Potomac River.
What was so special about the Potomac River? Well, it was picked as a compromise between northern and southern leaders. At the time, Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton was pushing Congress to pass a financial plan that involved the Federal government assuming state debts incurred during the American Revolution. As the northern states had accumulated much higher debts, many southern leaders, like James Madison, felt their taxpayers should not have to bail out states to the north. Ultimately, Thomas Jefferson met with Hamilton and Madison, and they reached a deal. Hamilton would get his financial plan passed, and a southern location would be selected as the site of the national capital.
Soon after signing the Residence Act, Washington began work on the project. He appointed three commissioners, Thomas Jefferson, Daniel Carroll, and David Stuart, to oversee things. In September, 1791, the three men agreed to name the federal district, "The Territory of Columbia", and the capital city, the "City of Washington". In 1800, 10 years after the signing of the Residence Act, the seat of government was formally moved to Washington. The next year, the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801 put the District under the jurisdiction of Congress.
First, the District. The name "Columbia" derives from Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, and first began to appear around the 18th century. Historically, Columbia was used to describe the New World or the Americas, but it gradually came to represent a personification of America. The District of Columbia is named after this personification. While imagery of Lady Liberty would replace that of Columbia by the 20th century, many places throughout the United States still bear the Columbia name.
As for the name Washington? Well, it is obvious that the three city commissioners wanted to honor their current, and first president by naming the city after him. The state of Washington is also named after George Washington. And while this can be confusing, the duplication of place names is fairly common throughout not just the US, but world.

About Cities Hotels Tours
Big Almaty Lake
Big Almaty Lake is a mountain lake in the gorge of the river Big Almatinka at a height of 2511 m above sea level, and 28.5 km to the south of Almaty. The lake is in a basin. It is like a sparkling mirror surrounded by mountain peaks all around. There are three main peaks over the lake: the Soviet peak (4,317 m), the peak Ozerny (4,110 m) and the Tourist peak (3,954 m) – one can see them from the southern end of the dam. To the west from the Tourist, there is the back of the peak Big Almaty (a pyramid 3,681 m high), it is well-observed from the city center. The lake fed with glacier water is shaped as a cup with length – 1.6 km, and width - almost 1 km, and depth - 40 m. In different seasons, the lake changes its color from pale green to turquoise blue. There is the village in the valley over the lake, it has spectacular domes of the Tien Shan astronomical observatory (2 km away from the lake, at a height of 2,700 m). There is the Space Station even higher (at a height of 3,300 m), next to the passage Zhasylkezen, where one can spend a night while watching the stars.
Karasor Lake
Karasor Lake (or Tuzdykul), a salt enclosed lake on the north-west of Karaganda region in Kazakhstan. The lake is full of fish. Salt content in Karasor exceeds salt content in seawater. There is therapeutic mud on the shores of the lake, lake produces valuable therapeutic sludge mud. This mud has a high content of bioactive substances, salts, microelements. Karasor's sludge mud is much more efficient than Odessan liman and Azov muds. Therapeutic effect of the muds includes thermal, chemical and mechanical effects. Mud is of high heating capacity and low thermal conductivity resulting in the expressed heat effect. At present, a chemical factor is of importance in therapeutic action of muds. Around 10 small rivers bring their waters to the lake Karasor.
Markakol
Markakol is one of the largest lakes in Altai, its length is 38 km, width – 19 km. Lake area makes up 455 sq. km. It's located in the intermountain basin between Kurchumsk and Azutausk mountains.

You can see an amazing view to the mountain chain Sarymsakty with snowy peaks Berkutaul and Aksubas, from the northern side. The lake is known for its clean water and lots of uskuch – the local type of Siberian lenoks and umbra. This type of fish is the endemics, and they live here only. Markakol natural reserve flora includes around 900 types of plants. Picturesque rocky spurs are covered mostly with larch, rarer – with fir forest. Subalpine meadows are rich with flowers, rare medical plants. Reserve's animal kingdom is rich and diverse.

Alakol has salty, seawater. In summer, it is warm (average summer temperature - 26°С ). Lake bed is pebby, on shores it is sludgy, shores are covered with small black pebble that is warm from the sun. Experts find only therapeutic properties in Alakol, besides blessing water, there is also sulfurous mud and dry clean steppe air saturated with mineral salts. Though there are no health resorts and sanatoriums, these diverse natural factors create favorable conditions for rest and treatment of skin diseases, respiratory diseases, diseases of apparatus system and nervous system. Fishing and hunting in the neighborhood are interesting and diverse. Only rare trains passing in a distance sometimes break the silence. There are some convenient rest houses on the shore that will ensure calm rest.
Balkhash
The lake Balkhash is one of the largest enclosed lake after Caspian and Aral lakes. Its length is 614 km, width – from 3.5 up to 44 km, maximum depth reaches 26 m. The lake is unique for its different mineralization of western and eastern parts, due to narrow bays. Western part is fed with Ili river and filled with fresh water, eastern part is salty. There are no similar lakes in Eurasia. Balkhash nature is contrastive. Pribalkhashye is one of the interesting natural corners of Kazakhstan, surrounded by deserts, full of light and warmth. Ago-long thirst of deserts here is fully satisfied with the unique Balkhash lake. This land is famous for its landscape, flora and fauna. Here, you can find plants like Asian popular, willow, reed and cane. White swans are the real decoration and symbol of Balkhash. Nowadays, you can see them only in some parts of the lake.

You can enjoy fishing for the pike perch, bream, catfish and others.
Zaisan
The lake Zaisan is situated 30 km away from Kiin-Kerish, along the unsurfaced road. Absolute basin height is 386 m. Basin area makes up 1.8 thsd. sq. km, depth – 8 m. The lake is flowing, the lakes: Black Irtish, Kokpekty, Zharma, Kendirlik and others flow into it, and only one river Irtish flows from it. From November to April, the lake is covered with ice. Zaisan is the large freshwater lake with around 23 types of fish living here (17 are commercial fish). There is the caviar farm here. The muskrat has been accustomed. When the first stars appear, you can hear a melodic ring like wires buzzing. Due to this peculiarity, the lake has the second name "The Lake of Change-Ring". 100 years ago, this area was inhabited with wild two-humped camels, Przewalski's horses, koulans, goitered gazelles, saigas, thousands of bustards, tigers... Now, you can see bustards and other rare species here. On the lake shores, you can find some interesting places: Ashutas – a picturesque shore in flood with fancy shapes made from clays of different shades, like Kiin-Kerish. It is the best rest place. Next to the beach, everyone can plunge into cool water of Zaisan. Akshuat is the fishermen village. It is a settlement with unusual architecture. Special subculture of the Kazakh fishermen appeared here. People in the village are very friendly. One can arrange a trip, if required, to the authentic fishermen families. Zaisan cavity is the road to Kiin-Kerish. While moving to the south-west of Zaisan cavity on the bad road, you can see the changing landscape, plant and animal life that is peculiar for mountain-steppe and desert area. Typical inhabitants of this area are different types of the lark (Alaudidae, Oenanthe), shrike (Laniidae). There are lots of ground squirrels living here, while attracting predators: steppe eagle, foxes, wolves.
Issyk
One of the most picturesque lakes of Zailiskiy Alatau – the lake Issyk – hid only 60 km away from Almaty, next to the small town Issyk, at a height of 1,800 m above sea level. In 1963, a powerful mud stream broke through from the glacier zone up the river Issyk. Giant waves destroyed the natural dam, resulting to the lake hollowed out for several hours. At present, it has been partially restored, and beautiful mountain landscape still pleases the tourist's eye.
Kaindy
The lake Kaindy appeared in the last century from a mountain slide. For such a short period of time, flooded fir-trees couldn't rot, and you can see an amazing scene: fir-tree tops fly above the lake. The term "Kaindy" from Kazakh means "birchen". Probably, the river got its name Kaindy for the huge birch grove located 5 km away from it. The lake Kaindy is surrounded by the rocky hills and steep rocks. There is a rock dead end above the lake, and one can approach it on a car from one side only. The lake is a perfect dream and it is original. Mushroom forests surround it, wild strawberries grow on the skirts as bright red spots, and in the raspberry fields, sweet berries grow energized by the sun. When climbing the range knap, one can see a panoramic view of Kungei-Alatau: sharp fir-tree peaks and distant mountain peaks. And beneath, in a deep cup under rocks, there is the lake Kaindy so different from others. Kaindy hid among a soft wood forest at a height of 2 thousand meters above sea level in one of the gorges of Kungei-Alatau. Lake's length is around 400 m. Its depth is almost 30 m. Strange to say, but this unique in its beauty lake is almost unknown. Perhaps, the reason is high tourists' attention to Kolsai lakes located not far. Nevertheless, every year, this flooded lake gains in appropriate popularity.
Kolsai
Kolsai lakes are the precious natural corner, as a unique piece of art, a pearl, a diamond to be preserved (P.I. Marikovsky). Kolsai lakes are dark blue in color, they are surrounded by blooming Alpine meadows, rocks and huge soft wood forests of the Tien Shan fir-tree, cascading one by one in one huge and amazingly beautiful mountain gorge. They call it the blue jewelry of North Tien Shan. If you see it once, you will never forget this magnificence! Kolsai 1 – your rest starts here. Distance from Almaty to the first Kolsai lake – 330 km. It stretched for 1 km along the gorge, at a height of 1818 m, and there is the road through, there are convenient rest houses, camping. Kolsai 2 (middle) – the most beautiful of Kolsai lakes, is located 5 km up the gorge, at a height of 2252 m. In bottom part, there is a flat glade. Kolsai 3 is 6 km upper than the second, elevation difference between them is 800 m. Water in the lake is very cold. Climate in this area is highland: summer day temperature is 30°С, at nightfalls down to 5-10°С. The season is from July to September. 6 km further, on the Kyrgyz border, there is the passage Sary-Bulak (3278 m) with magnificent views to blue Issyk-Kul.
The lake Shalkar is the glorious ancient monument that the nature left in the Transural region. Shalkar has special environmental, scientific, cultural, recreational and esthetic value. The lake is located 75 km to the southeast of the city of Uralsk, in Terekinsky district. It is the deepest and largest water reservoir in West-Kazakhstani region. This natural water reservoir is very ancient; its origin is still a subject of disputes. However, the most probable version is that it is the remains of former Khvalynskiy sea that stepped back thousands of years ago to Caspian sea, since in prehistoric times, present Caspian Plain was all the sea mentioned above. For ages, the lake Shalkar attracted human attention; long ago, the Oghuzsks, Pechenegs and later Cumans, Turkoman tribes ancestors to the Kazakhs, lived on its shores. In its modern form, the lake is oval, stretched from north down to south. Length from north to south is around 18 km, from west to east is 14 km. Maximum depth is 18 m, depths from 10 to 12 m take around 30% of bottom area, depths less than 2 m – 12%. In windy weather, completely covered with white choppy waves, its wash resembles the real sea. Water composition in the lake is similar to sea water, and its environmental state surpasses many sea waters, facilitating to health care of tourists. From eastern part, two rivers flow into the lake: Isen Ankaty (Big Ankaty) and Sholak Ankaty (Small Ankaty), and one river Solyanka flows from it joining the river Ural.
Sibinsk
Sibinsk lakes are located 85 km away from the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk. Way to the lakes is decorated with picturesque landscape of the granite mountain passes. Lakes are the accompanying tourist attraction that determines the eastern direction. Sibinsk lakes are the 5 lakes system with purest clean water, surrounded by granite mountains, with the single name - Sibinsk lakes (Ablaketsk). This tourist attraction is considered as an environmental tourism object. Tourists have an opportunity to enjoy amazing beauty of 5 lakes, to go for a walk and swim in July-August. On the opposite side of one of the lakes, there is a nude beach, where tourists from Europe can sunbathe in "natural conditions". Average wind speed is 2-3 m/s, solar period lasts for 2500-2600 hours a day. Average temperature in January is16°С, in July - +19°С. Warm period lasts for 210 days. Maximum temperature in summer reaches + 35°С, in winter - -55°С. Such climatic conditions together with granite mountains in pines and steppe grass of different colors, overhanging the cleanest lakes, have gained in popularity, and have become the beloved rest place for tourists in summer. In perspective, they plan to arrange a national park here.

Tag: David Lloyd
Antenna, the diverse fourth album from The Gift signals a significant change in direction and style for this London based band, driven by a fresh and accessible impetus. In a recent interview Mike Morton of The Gift summarised their new album as focusing on the 'Difficulty of being Human', and added that it was about 'communication missing the mark' which he encapsulated in the metaphor 'Broken Plugs and Sockets'.
This is an ambitious and brave project, leaving behind their previous leanings towards more ornate 'prog' sounds so one has to ask did they succeed in the communication hitting the mark and connecting?
What is very clear right from the start is that this is a band that has chosen not to stand still or remain in a comfort zone. We are Connected is a striking opening song, with slight echoes of INXS, riding on an insistent guitar riff and threaded throughout with a popping synth backing, indicative of the subject of electronic obsession with social media. Mike Morton sounds angry as he spits out:
A myriad of souls, We have abandoned all controls,
Naked to the core, exposing our emotion
We are connected – we are one – we are connected
The songwriter, David Lloyd, explained in the same TPA interview :
'It's about the way in which people have sold their soul to social media… the way people can be damaged or manipulated without really realising it, just through participating in it. It's got a corrupting side to it.'
This opening is important as a cracking introduction to the album but also as a very clear marker that this is The Gift like you've never really heard them before, and they have moved a long way from the expansive and mythically influenced previous album 'Why the Sea is Salt'. If that album's lush oil painting like artwork by Mark Buckingham reflected their epic musical canvasses of ornate, multi-layered passages, then Antenna's more angular, 'Metropolis' film graphic based artwork by Brian Mitchell is indicative of the new album's more direct but carefully constructed contemporary songs. For instance, there is an impressively flowing but understated guitar solo by David Lloyd in We are Connected, but whereas previously it may have been more lengthy and elaborate, on Antenna it is brief but consequently stands out all the more on a song filled with memorable hooks and straightforward lyrics.
The Gift are blessed with a combination of four songwriters in Mike Morton, David Lloyd, Gabriele Baldocci and Leroy James, who all bring something different to the table. Long Time Dead is a song which has appeared occasionally in The Gift's live set in recent times and this 'road testing' has probably helped hone it into an outstanding song. Song writer Leroy James evokes a Wild West atmosphere with a Spaghetti Western type harmonica intro and then we are transported by atmospheric distorted wah wah guitar sounds. Evocatively played ensemble playing conveys a swagger befitting the feel of the song. Gabriele Baldocci even struts into the musical saloon with a dash of bar room piano. Morton carries the 'carpe diem' no regrets message of the song perfectly:
So come now raise your head – you're a long time dead
Love the life you've led – you're a long time dead
In contrast the following song Snowfall exemplifies the differing aspects that characterise The Gift. Over a delicate piano backing which brings to mind images of softly falling snow Morton touchingly sings about a lost relationship. Lyrically and melodically this is simply heart-breaking, and it is imbued with pure emotion and truth. Similarly, the instrumental piece Hand in Hand, the title of which echoes a Snowfall lyric, is also a thing of lovely subtlety, featuring guitarist Lloyd alongside bassist Stef Dickers, showing his versatility on acoustic guitar.
Snowfall and Hand in Hand bookend the far more angular piece Far Stranger, with a staccato, robotic feel appropriate for its subject matter of synthetic humans, with references to 'Rachel and Roy' (of the film 'Bladerunner') and 'Pinocchio'. This song does not fully connect for this reviewer – it feels like a song which The Gift would have expanded upon in previous albums to convey the full story, but to me here it sounds like rather a lot of ideas and narrative squeezed in to a shorter piece. This is disappointing as it's a fascinating theme, possibly fitting an earlier abandoned idea for the album title about being 'Almost Human but not quite', and the song and theme may have benefited from a more ambitious, expansive setting. On Far Stranger it is almost as if The Gift were caught between two stools in their transition from their previous 'proggier' style into a more succinct approach.
As if to underline that thought the extended piece Changeling is altogether more successful in conveying a narrative as it tells the story of the rise and fall of a politician corrupted by power in three distinct phases, which could easily be separate songs in themselves. This treatment gives the music and narrative time to develop and breath… but this is no extravagant, lush 70's style 'prog' extravaganza. The sparse synth and programmed percussion of opening section A Saviour's Shoes echoes 80's era Japan (surely a good thing) with a finely judged vocal from Morton introducing a politician starting out with sincere intentions. This fascinating opening descends in to much darker territory on the much more 'rock' oriented The Shadow Behind part with Neil Hayman in spectacular form on powerful and precise drumming alongside Dickers' deft use of bass in the driving sections or more contemplative passages. Baldocci throws in a great twisting synth solo to convey the insidious effect ambition has upon the politician's initial integrity. This outstanding piece then takes a definite 'left turn' in the closing Finest Hour section which is a pure glam rock stomp with Morton, acting out the fall of the politician in to total corruption, at his most dramatically camp on vocals and Lloyd and James on great form on guitars. The Gift premiered this section as a stand-alone song at the Fusion Festival in March and it went down a storm with the crowd, getting them to their feet. Curiously, it could be argued that this nearly ten minute piece demonstrates that The Gift remain very much in the mainstream 'Prog' world, but trust me, you won't think that when you hear it. It's an interesting melding of different musical styles not normally associated with classic rock tropes, skilfully moulded in to a song cycle conveying the changes of the main character.
Perhaps as a 'palate cleanser' after such an extended and thematically dark piece The Gift follow it up with the optimistic rock/pop of Back to Eden, which rolls along brightly. This is in stark contrast to When you are old, with words by poet W.B Yeats. This slow and sombre piece of reminiscence and regret has hints of 'Low' era Bowie – some may love it's melancholic atmosphere, some may find it a rather depressing drone… but one has to wonder about it's sequencing directly after the remarkably rocking Wild Roses.
The highlight of Antenna for this reviewer is definitely Wild Roses, which announces itself with 'Art of Noise' like synth effects and percussion before plunging straight in to pure Thin Lizzy territory. Leroy James and David Lloyd really rock out on the guitars and Dickers and Hayman thunder along brilliantly in the rhythm section, whilst Baldocci throws in occasional keyboard stabs and synth runs… but the real surprise is Mike Morton's vocals – he really throws himself in to a powerful 'Rock' vocal, with more than a little resemblance to Phil Lynott! The Gift truly excel in a live setting and one can only imagine just how much they will rock the audiences when they pull that one out of the drawer.
Antenna concludes appropriately with Closer about relationships, which commences with bright jangling guitars over a cool bass line and Hayman in almost funky form on drums in the Where all Roads Divide section. However, for this reviewer curiously for an album which focuses so much on connection this is a song which does feel a little disconnected as that opening section quite suddenly jars in to the rocking instrumental Out of Reach section with synth and guitar soloing. It almost feels like The Gift felt compelled to pull out some 'Prog Stops' before the end of the album. As a section alone it sounds fine, but it did not flow naturally from the first part. Similarly, after a significant pause the emotional Closer finale does not flow on from the previous passage. Nevertheless, as a piece in itself Closer impressively builds and builds with delicately picked, almost bluegrass guitar, organ and then a lovely fluid piano. A lyrical soaring guitar solo elevates the piece to even greater heights as Morton proclaims:
If our journeys ever synchronize, Let's be thankful for whatever, Brings our Universe together
We can be Closer…. Closer…. We can be Closer
On this album Closer feels ironically a little disjointed but as a live piece it may mature, and the excellent closing section will certainly stir the soul.
Well, as asked earlier, did The Gift succeed in communicating and connecting?
For this reviewer the answer is a qualified 'Yes'.
There are some truly outstanding pieces on this album, but for me some songs did not quite hit the mark or fully connect. In essence some of the 'plugs' did not seem to quite fit some of the 'plugs'. In truth The Gift were never a 'full-on' ornate 'Prog' band, and each album had more accessible, less musically ambitious and unashamedly 'catchy' pieces alongside their epic forays. However, the clear main direction was down well-trodden progressive rock paths, and with classic songs like The Willows they really did it so well. In contrast Antenna feels like a band trying to break out of what may have started to feel like a pigeon-holing musical straightjacket. There may also be a sense of liberation for the wide range of song writing talent within the band, which has added a wholly different and fascinating range of musical colours to their spectrum. The great qualities that marked out The Gift previously are still there in the DNA of their material but maybe inevitably this album does have the feel of a 'Transition' album. Sometimes in a transition process older ways of doing things do not always sit comfortably together with new paths. However, that is not a bad thing – transition means growth and 'progression' in the true sense of the word. The Gift should be commended for having had the balls to significantly change their sound – as Morton said in a recent interview that change may 'piss some people off and disappoint' but 'that's just the way it is…' It will be fascinating to see where they go from here.
The hope is that their previous fans remember the core of what made The Gift worth following before and remain on board, whilst the undoubted high quality of the different range of largely more accessible songs on this album also justifiably attracts other new fans who like … well just rock music, whatever the label.
Antenna sends out a strong signal from The Gift – they do not stand still so leave your preconceptions at the door, open your minds and explore their changing world.

Review – The Gift – Why The Sea Is Salt – by Leo Trimming
Let's get straight to the point – 'Why the Sea is Salt' is a truly exceptional album, and deserves to propel The Gift in to the higher echelons of current British Progressive Rock Music. Simple as that – it really is that outstanding. Very few albums indeed have the potential to attain the status of a potential 'classic' album, which will live long in the memory like 'Why the Sea is Salt'. This is a work which greatly appeals to the heart and mind in equal measures, and similarly beguiles and stimulates in its beauty and drama.
This album is a considerable step up in ambition and achievement by a band that has evolved very significantly over the last year. Commencing as a studio project by Mike Morton and Leroy James in 2006, The Gift released promising debut anti-war album 'Awake and Dreaming', then went to sleep for a few years due to other life commitments. Morton then teamed up with talented song writer David Lloyd to re-form The Gift and record the excellent album 'Land of Shadows' in 2014 as one eclectic label Bad Elephant's first ever releases (The third to be precise). This hard working band has been playing live over the last couple of years to develop their sound, skills and audience at venues across the UK and even a first trip to Europe in 2014 to play in the Netherlands. Stalwart Stefan Dickers has been their rock on bass for that period. They successfully appeared at last year's Summer's End Festival in Wales, and it was clear then they were on an upward trajectory.
The Gift have wanted to take a different and more ambitious musical approach requiring some changes in personnel, with no disrespect to their able predecessors. They recruited new drummer Neil Hayman from BEM label mates progressive hard rockers, Konchordat. He definitely adds more experience, creativity and power to the band. Leroy James also 'came home', rejoining the band late in the writng process of this album and just before recording started, adding his deft guitar skills and a more rock oriented approach to David Lloyd's subtle flowing guitar work. The last but possibly most significant piece in bringing The 'New' Gift Jigsaw puzzle together was the recruitment on keyboards of an Italian bona fide Classical Music star, Gabriele Baldocci, who performs piano recitals around the world, alongside teaching at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire in Greenwich. Morton heard that Baldocci loved Genesis, Queen, Yes, Beatles, Crimson, Camel and Tull, and wanted to use his classical skills in a progressive rock band. The Gift were delighted to recruit him, and on the evidence of this album it is clear that his undoubted incredible keyboard skills, eminent classical background and love of great rock music adds something really special to the mix. He is a real gift to The Gift!
'Why the Sea is Salt' is a rich presentation of musical styles and sounds, social commentary, mythological references, and touching expressions of personal feelings of loss and mourning. This is an album with very strong and distinctive individual songs. However, 'Why the Sea is Salt' has even more impact if consumed as a whole with lyrical and musical themes threading through the tapestry of the album, producing a remarkably consistent and resonant piece of work. The focus is upon man's sad disconnection from life's real meaning, with the poetic sense that in human existence our collective tears 'salt' the sea. This description may make it sound like a 'weighty' piece of work, but crucially The Gift never forget that the Song is Key, and it is filled with memorable melodies and harmonies which make it accessible, entertaining and interesting for a wider audience. In fact, this album is notable for the balance between lyrics and music. They compliment each other, but crucially the lyrics allow enough space for the music alone at times to breathe and convey the spirit of the song.
The song which may inevitably attract the most attention from some is The Tallest Tree, featuring contributions from Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett of Genesis fame, alongside the more recent emerging talent of Peter Jones from Tiger Moth Tales. Anthony Phillips provides characteristically beautiful and shimmering 12 string guitar with Peter Jones playing a touching Irish whistle to add suitable pathos to the intro. This is a heartfelt song of loss about the passing of vocalist Mike Morton's father with deeply felt and succinct lyrics, based on a poem Mike Morton wrote for and recited at his father's funeral. Towards the end Steve Hackett perfectly reflects the elegiac feeling with a tasteful and distinctive guitar solo, and then perhaps appropriately the song fades away wistfully into the distance. I do not mind sharing with you that the first hearing this song reduced me to tears as it touched on my own parallel loss of parents with Morton. Memories of holding my own mother's hand as she passed away were reflected in similar images of Morton taking his father's own hands towards the end:
'I Take Your Hands… Now as Fragile as a sigh,
As through this Veil of Tears, We say our last Goodbye
Now the Tallest Tree is Falling, Our Faces Feel the Rain,
As Darkness Turns to Morning, Love is What Remains'
It is unusual for this reviewer to share such a personal memory in a review, but it is done to show how The Gift's lyrics and music can truly touch the listener. Such is the simple beauty of the music and honest expression of deep emotions, which will touch many listener's hearts, that it seems clear this song could become regarded as a classic.
To go back to the album's beginning, 'Why the Sea is Salt' commences aptly with the suitably nautical and mythical At Sea, premiered to great acclaim at the recent 'Power of Three' gig in London. Mainly written by David Lloyd, this acts like an overture for the album as Gabriele Baldocci shows his classical piano excellence with a softly undulating piano solo with hints of Ravel as we start our musical voyage, leading onto Lloyd's gently floating guitar. Like a sudden storm rising, the tempo and power suddenly builds with Hayman pounding away and Baldocci running a sinuous synth line above the backing in a scintillating instrumental section. The guitars and keyboards intertwine to great effect, and then Dickers' melodic bass line leads us into a short but expressive guitar solo, before we settle back into a piano section… and after six minutes a 'Becalmed' singer Mike Morton finally enters the fray. Quite an opening to an album. This is Morton as Greek chorus with sonorous but vulnerable vocals, setting the scene including some mythic images (… but have no worries, this album is no corny 'sword and sorcery' epic!) The finely judged concluding guitar solo completes the 'overture' and takes us on into the main body of the album.
The Gift next take us into a horror story with Sweeper of Dreams, a baroque intro leading into a powerful song full of characterisation reminiscent of Alex Harvey. This is a dramatic 'story' song with lyric writer Morton singing menacingly in character as 'The Sweeper'. One can only imagine what Morton will do to portray this scary character in concert. Baldocci and Morton wrote the majority of the musical themes, Gabriele showing that he can really rock alongside his classical skills, as the song alternates between hard rock and scary 'evil clown' carousel sounding interludes. Writer Neil Gaiman was pleased to permit The Gift to use the theme and name of one of his short stories for this song. Fittingly, the images evoked by the memorable music and lines such as 'Dispose of the Debris, Lying around in your Brain' may well enter the dream worlds of many listeners.
The Gift take us in a very different direction with the touching and delightful Tuesday's Child , based on a lyrical idea from Baldocci, shaped and developed by Mike Morton, telling a personal story of an older sad man woefully looking back to the beautiful but forsaken joy and innocence of childhood. The Road of Ashes instrumental opening draws us in beguilingly with keyboards creating a lovely soundscape for an emotionally delicate, floating guitar line. Acoustic guitar then takes us into a beautiful sung lyric in the First Flower section. This is subtle, intelligent and heart felt lyric writing, characteristic of Mike Morton, and for which he should become much more well-known. He makes the connection between emotions and the sea in touching but catchy choruses :
'Someone's been waiting for me, somewhere not quite light enough to see
Is this the one I used to be? Cast adrift amongst the Shadows and Salt Waters, That Flow from Me'
Alongside such insightful and emotive lyrics this song of redemption and self-realisation is also expressed perfectly with finely crafted music as the bass and drums deftly back Lloyd's flowing and sensitive concluding guitar solo – demonstrating the skill of The Gift in marrying words and music together with skill and insight in conveying the 'feel' and message of a song.
The main inspiration for the album title 'Why the Sea is Salt' comes originally from a Norse legend in which a man finds a mill that grinds out anything he wants. However, he gets too greedy, and when he asks it to grind out salt for his food, the power behind it grinds endlessly, swamping him and everyone. The mill then falls into the sea, where it still churns, thus making the sea salty. This mythological source is re-interpreted by The Gift on this album as modern man's greed for 'stuff' which consumes and hurts us. Nowhere is this better expressed than on the epic song cycle of All These Things, a piece largely written mainly by Lloyd and Morton. Apparently this song cycle was originally called Black Friday but that title was felt to be too specific as the piece had a wider perspective. Lloyd's love of Jethro Tull and early Strawbs is demonstrated by the opening acoustic guitar and vocal harmony section in The Vow, portraying marriage as a transaction, a swapping of rings, underlining society's pre-occupation with possessing things, including each other. Church organs resound as a slight dig at organized religion before we flow into the Harvest of Hollow. The use of understated flamenco guitar shows that The Gift are not afraid to stretch their boundaries. Indeed, it appears that this is a band who wanted to avoid simply repeating previous patterns as they used previously unexplored sounds and styles.
The Gift are not afraid to make political points of social commentary, with Morton particularly animated by his distaste for the current politics of the UK as a 'crop of bitter weeds'. The Gift direct their focus on the futile emptiness of materialistic consumerism, leading to endless acquisition but never enough to satisfy:
'So which of us is satisfied? Tell me, are you satisfied?
The Roulette spins in empty eyes, Our Hungerbeasts prowling and growling inside
It's an unhealthy appetite, Take another bite… Having is Nothing, Hunting is All'
This song cycle takes an ever darker turn as we enter Feeding Time in which The Gift have never sounded so brutal and menacing with an angry and coruscating guitar duo between David Lloyd and Leroy James – the instruments cinematically telling the story as powerfully as any words. In contrast, the next lilting section The Jackdaw, Magpie and Me commences with bird sounds and a gentle acoustic guitar motif as Morton intones with such clarity about the selfishness and emptiness of collecting things trinkets like magpies. Dickers and Hayman's subtle bass and drums underline the piece with skill, showing that they are not all about power. The animal imagery is carried on into the gentle re-birth or turning point of the Swan and Butterfly section, with perhaps even a subtle or subconscious reference to previous album's highlight The Willows. The lyrics encourage the notion that if we reconnect with Nature, both its external aspects and our inner selves, we have no need to complete ourselves through 'things'. The gentle pastoral feel of this section with piano and flute sounds accentuate this as a more meditative section in which the song's protagonist realises he is as free as creatures of both water and air if he chooses to free himself of the distractions of the media and possessions and reconnect with the earth he walks upon.
As this reviewer is rather melancholic at times I did have some initial reservations about the finale to this song section as Heartfire concludes this piece on a more celebratory almost hymnal note, an echo to the ecclesiastical hints in the opening part, The Vow. However, with repeated listenings it became clear that The Gift were right to conclude this remarkable song cycle with a more upbeat conclusion after the gentle pastoralism of the previous section. Morton urges us to 'come to your senses' , encouraging us to let the world outside fill our senses because there is enough joy and thrill in those experiences to keep us fulfilled all our lives. Cleverly, all five senses are lyrically engaged with the sight of 'silver cloak of winter', the touch of 'summer heat', the 'taste of joyful tears', the 'scent of gardens' and hearing 'whispers in the dark'. These positive feelings are evoked by sun filled backing which skips along with a joyful synth line, and harmonic backing vocals, concluding 'Take Heart'.
The coda to this album is the haunting Ondine's Song. Baldocci's eerie synth soundscape backs Morton's mournful vocals, bringing us full circle to the sea based and mythically imbued lyrics of the opening At Sea. Ondine is a legendary elemental being associated with water, whom has inspired an opera by Debussy, a ballet by Henze and even The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson… and now a song by The Gift! The story involves her marrying a human to gain immortality, but if the human is unfaithful they are fated to die. On a more fundamental level in this song Ondine stands for the essential nature of Water as Life itself, and a plea not to pollute the world – without water there is no life, leading to the elegaic fading refrain:
'Every Mortal Breath, By Her Grace Alone…. By her Grace Alone…'
In the legend the man's infidelity breaks Ondine's heart, and in this song Ondine's heart is broken by Man's treatment of the world. Her sorrow and man's sorrowful salt tears run into the oceans. Once again the music sensitively expresses the flowing almost wraith like feeling of this piece.
The Gift have really stepped up a few levels with this remarkable album. They have not stretched the boundaries of music – very few artists truly do that. What they have undoubtedly done is skilfully and beautifully draw upon a variety of influences, inspirations and ideas and artfully crafted them into an imaginative and enjoyable musical experience that touches the heart and stimulates the mind. What more could one want from an album?! Do yourselves a favour and just go and buy it!

How Many Names Does A Red Drum Go By?
The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission states that "Red drum are one of the most recreationally sought-after fish throughout the South Atlantic, with the majority of Southern states reserving red drum harvest strictly for recreational anglers".
Red drum is a game fish found in the Atlantic Ocean from Massachusetts to Florida and in the Gulf of Mexico from Florida to northern Mexico and inhabit nearshore and offshore waters. It is the only species in the genus Sciaenops.
Juvenile red drum inhabit rivers, canals, tidal creeds, bays and passes in estuaries for up to four years.
Why are they called Drum?
Red drums are named after the "drumming" sound they make during spawning and when taken out of the water. Their muscles rub against the inflated air bladder to produce the sound.
Red drum are present in South Carolina's Low country waters year-round. The beginning months of summer and winter are the easiest times. It depends on the water temperature. By May, the water warms up bringing the bait which brings the red drum in. Then in November, algae and plankton die in the water increasing the visibility. You can see the large schools of red drum coming inshore. The good news is there is no closed season.
Red drum can reach lengths of 45 inches and weigh up to 51 pounds. Caught off of North Carolina waters in 1984, the world record red drum weighed 94 pounds, 2 ounces. The South Carolina State record was set in 1965 of 75 pounds.
"Red drum may reach 60 years of age and 60 inches in length", according to Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission.
How do you catch one?
Live bait is a perfect way to catch red drum. Floating a live shrimp under a popping cork is a good way to fish for them. They also chase mullet, croakers, menhaden, spot, pinfish, sardines, blood worms, crabs and killfish (mud minnows). Casting spoons, soft-bodied jigs and top-water plugs are used to lure them.
What does Red Drum taste like?
The Cooking Fish Monger describes a red drum flavor as "a mild, sweet flavor with a medium-firm texture. Not a steak texture like Shark or Swordfish and not as flaky as say a Flounder. If you have ever had Red Snapper the texture is about the same. Red snapper is also a good fish to compare taste to, very similar".

I"ve heard that human population is actually shrinking
Roddy Scheer and Doug Moss April 25, 2004
I"ve heard that human population is actually shrinking because of a global "birth dearth." Is this true?
—Lindsay Ellis, via e-mail
There is indeed a population shortfall trend developing in Western Europe, Russia and Japan. In Ireland, for instance, families have an average of 1.8 children today, slightly below the "replacement level" of two children per couple. Couples in Italy, Germany and Spain have just 1.2 to 1.3 children each. The average fertility rate in Europe is 1.45. Both Russia and Japan are at 1.3.
But it"s simply not true that world population is shrinking, because these trends are overcompensated for by the very rapid population increases taking place in the world"s poor and least-developed countries. According to the United Nations, population growth in less-developed countries is growing at an annual rate of 1.46 percent, nearly six times faster than the .25 percent growth taking place in the most heavily industrialized regions of the world.
We are currently adding 77 million people to the globe annually, with 21 percent of that increase coming from India, 12 percent from China and five percent from Pakistan. Three countries, Bangladesh, Nigeria and the United States each contribute four percent of the world"s annual growth. In the U.S., where the average fertility rate was 2.05 in 2002, population growth is due largely to immigration.
From 6.3 billion people on the planet today, the United Nations projects we will grow to 8.9 billion by the year 2050. Half of that projected increase will occur in just eight countries, seven of them in Africa and Asia. It is interesting to consider that it took all of human history until 1800 for world population to reach its first billion; from there the second billion took only until 1930. Now, just 75 years later, we've passed the six billion mark.
Many environmentalists feel that human population growth is the most important environmental issue of all. The sheer number of people added to the planet each year easily erodes the "per capita" gains made by conservation measures. Globally, the population growth-induced accelerated loss of forestland results in a reduced ability for ecosystems to absorb the also-increasing carbon dioxide emissions that exacerbate global warming. Further, the expansion of human activity and associated loss of habitat are the leading causes of the unprecedented extinctions of plant and animal species worldwide.
In the United States, we lose two acres of farmland every minute, according to the American Farmland Trust, and a serious water shortage is developing nationwide, with aquifers once considered inexhaustible now drying up. In poor countries, population growth exacts its toll in the form of abject poverty and chronic food and water scarcity.

Package of projects approved to improve environmental quality and mobility
See the news on the website Mobility and transport
Approval has been given to a package of projects to improve environmental quality and mobility to tackle the climate crisis. The projects put the city in the frame to receive 125 million euros in European funding, specifically from the 2021 call by the Ministry for Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda.
The subsidy plan is geared towards action relating to the implementation of the low emissions zone, the digital and sustainable transformation of public transport and the promotion of healthy mobility, the transformation of public transport vehicle fleets towards non-polluting models and the digitalisation of traffic management.
The city has been addressing these questions for years, to put people's health at the centre. Projects for mobility and the transformation of public space which meet the requisites of the subsidy call include the superblocks initiative the low emission zone (LEZ), the project to connect the two tram systems along Av. Diagonal, the Ciutat 30 initiative, the bike lane infrastructure, the purchase of electric buses, the installation of escalators and the transformation of Av. Meridiana.
Taking into account how these projects fit in with the subsidy call, the Government Commission has approved the request for 125 million euros in subsidies. This is the first package of subsidies which the city is applying for, with further work to be done to apply with other projects in other calls.

The LP-RESEARCH Motion Sensor Bluetooth version 2 (LPMS-B2) is a miniature wireless inertial measurement unit (IMU) / attitude and heading reference system (AHRS). The unit is very versatile, performing accurate, high-speed orientation and relative displacement measurements. By the use of three different MEMS sensors (3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis magnetometer) low-drift, low-latency orientation data around all three axes is acquired. Additionally, temperature and barometric pressure sensors allow accurate determination of the unit's altitude. LPMS-B2 communicates with a host system via Bluetooth Classic 2.1 or Low Energy 4.1 connection. Multiple LPMS-B2 units can be connected simultaneously to one host system (7 units maximum on Windows/Android), reaching transmission rates of up to 400Hz.
See the LPMS-B2 product page at LP-RESEARCH here.

Q: Pushforward of a tensor field with respect to a diffeomorphism Some textbooks of differential geometry (such as A. McInerney's First Steps in Differential Geometry: Riemannian, Contact, Symplectic) define the pullback of a tensor field with respect to a diffeomorphism. Let $\psi: M \rightarrow N$ be a diffeomorphism with inverse $\psi^{-1}: N \rightarrow M$, and $T$ be an $(r, s)$-tensor field on $N$. Then the pullback of $T$ is defined to be a tensor field on $M$ given by:
$\psi^*T(\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_r, v_1, \ldots, v_s) = T(\psi^{-1*}\alpha_1, \ldots, \psi^{-1*}\alpha_r, \psi_*v_1, \ldots, \psi_*v_s)$
where $\alpha_1$, ..., $\alpha_r$ are smooth 1-forms on $M$ and $v_1$, ..., $v_s$ are smooth vector fields on $M$.
I wonder whether the above definition can be extended to pushforward of a tensor field. Let $S$ be a tensor field on $M$. Since we assume that $\psi^{-1}$ exists, isn't it reasonable to define the pushforward of $S$ to be a tensor field on $N$ given by
$\psi_*S(\beta_1, \ldots, \beta_r, w_1, \ldots, w_s) = S(\psi^*\beta_1, \ldots, \psi^*\beta_r, \psi^{-1}_*w_1, \ldots, \psi^{-1}_*w_s)$
where $\beta_1$, ..., $\beta_r$ are smooth 1-forms on $N$ and $w_1$, ..., $w_s$ are smooth vector fields on $N$?
If so, then isn't it possible to define the pushforward of a 1-form with respect to a diffeomorphism since 1-forms are a special type of $(0, 1)$-tensor fields?


Calling your website after your domain may perhaps sound evident to some of you, still you'll be surprised to learn that not necessarily every single web page is named after the domain name regardless if the site owner owns that address.
Calling a webpage after its domain name is most important, for the basic justification that at any time people think of your website, they will consider it by name. In case your brand name is also your Web url (ie, website name), they'll instantaneously know exactly where to go. Take for instance, as soon as individuals look into myonlinecasino.com, they don't have to ponder what domain to input into their web browser to get there. Your site name is as well your URL.
Envision in case your business (or web page) is labeled as "Acme", but nonetheless someone else holds that website domain. As an alternative, you could have some unrecognized web name called, for example, "mybusiness.com". What do you do when your buyers, knowing that Acme provides a product or service they want, type "www.acme.com"? They'll wind up at your competitor's online business. ONe more lost transaction.
But nevertheless, if you're merely at the start, you could possibly want the more cost effective choice of trying to get hold of a web site domain initially, and then naming your internet website (or firm) after the website domains name that you have attained. Hence in the event that you've found, say, the website "acme.com", consequently your own web-site together with business may perhaps be called "Acme" and even "acme.com". I recognize this is likely a little similar to placing the cart ahead of the horse, yet that's the fact if you don't want to fall short on the World-wide-web.
Common Terms Or perhaps Brand Name Extensions?
I am certain that a number of people today appear to believe that your web address really will have to be some run-of-the-mill term akin to "newcars.com" if you happen to be promoting automobiles. Observer, for example, the volume of cash the commonly used labels are being sold for. Nonetheless truly, if you have been seeking to obtain a motor vehicle, you might without doubt by now have got a number of models at heart, furthermore you are a lot more like to try out adreses for example generalmotors.com or just toyota.com in lieu of solely cars.com.
Which is why I specifically put forward to all my clients to always be constant when picking a website name. The exact label that you make use of to broadcast your current product or service will be the term that you will prefer for your web address, because that is generally the very first thing that customers will try in their web browser. This unique idea furthermore makes it incredibly easy to just remember, and what ever that is easily remembered, is going to be most likely to end up being tried out compared to the difficult to understand domain.
A website address may have as much as 67 characters. You don't have to decide on for an unclear website domain like avab.com while what you actually mean is AcmeVideosAndBooks.com.
Some emphasize that shorter domain name really are easier to remember, less difficult to type as well as substantially less vunerable to omissions: for example, "getit.com" is normally much simpler to just remember as well as significantly less susceptible to typos when compared to "connecttomywebsiteandobtainit.com".
On the contrary we have plenty of people that are all up to get very long domain names stating it is a lot easier to remember - for instance, "gaepw.com" is a combination of unrelated letters that is certainly challenging to bear in mind and so type accurately, but when we enlarge it to its long manner, "GetAnEconomicallyPricedWebsite.com", we are generally a lot more likely to remember the name.
Some of these kind of comments are actually scientific. It can be ever more problematic to acquire short meaningful domain names. I have not tested, however I'm fairly certain that titles such as "getit.com" not to mention "good.com" have already been bought. If it turns out you manage to get a shorter web address however, the trick is to be certain that it's a significant blend of characters and certainly not the unrecognized "gaepw.com" in my contrived situation previously mentioned.
Long domains that have your site search terms in these also have an advantage in that they can fare much better in a lot of various search engines. The second option provide benefit to keyword phrases that are likewise found in your trusty old urls. Accordingly, take for instance, you probably have a niche site on cost-free C++ compilers with a website name such as freecpluspluscompilers.com, this may do better in a search for "free C++ compilers" in comparison with the related web-page on my other web site, thefreecountry.com.
Just what would I opt for? I might try the smaller title if I am able to buy a important one, yet I'm not always averse to longer labels. Then again, I will quite possibly prevent incredibly lengthy labels verging on 67 characters. Besides from the obvious problem that everyday people may well not be able to memorize such a extended name, it might as well turn out to be a big job inputting it and trying to fit it as a name on your trusty old site.
It can be simple to forget about the hyphens whenever writing a name. A large number of visitors are familiar to typing things for example freecpluspluscompilers.com but certainly not free-c-plus-plus-compilers.com. They are going to more than likely leave out the hyphens and so turned out to be at your trusty old competitor's websites.
Once people today highly recommended your website to their own good friends orally, possessing hyphens in your website address turns to a lot more prospective problems when compared with whenever the brand will not include hyphens. To illustrate, exactly how do you consider your current site visitors are going to refer to your online site in case it is known as "acme-books-and-videos.com"? Some people may well say, "I been to Acme Book and Videos dot com yesterday. It appeared to be fabulous." Their particular friends, keeping in mind that remark later, could possibly enter into their very own web browsers "acmebooksandvideos.com". Oops.
It is usually just so heavy to enter a address with a good deal of hyphens. Enough said.
Search engines can distinguish your key phrases much better therefore return your current business far more prominently in listings for all those search terms occurring in your domain.
Of course you may possibly be trapped using the hyphenated version given that the regular one was sold years ago. At the very least this way, you obtain the domain name you need.
In my opinion, I favor to stay clear of hyphenated names if I am able to, however I imagine it actually depends on your current website name together with your situation.
It truly is not uncommon to turn out to be trapped having a totally different website domain then precisely what you desired, the web site domain name registrar is going to put forward different varieties of the title you typed in. By way of example, whenever you wished website.com, and thus it was utilized (naturally it is), it might would suggest varieties for instance:thewebsite.com, mywebsite.com, websites.com,and the like, in case that these were not previously taken as well. The concern is definitely, will you obtain it?
My own individual point of view is always that in the event that you actually take the "the..." and "my..." types of the web address, you actually should continually remember to keep in mind to publicize your current web-site having the entire style of the name. Oppositely, individuals have the inclination to forget to put in the important "the" or simply "my". Consequently, I continuously promote my sites as "thesitewizard.com" and "thefreecountry.com" in their own whole website address forms, instead than just "Free Country" or perhaps "Site Wizard" (without the write-up).
On the other hand, I might not really take the plural form of the web address (eg, websites.com) if perhaps I could not also acquire "website.com", considering that the prospect of the site visitor failing to enter the "s" inside of the title is actually extremely big. Ponder about the well known title tussle among etoys.com and etoy.com. Multiple folks wishing to visit etoys.com have been seemingly going to etoy.com in its place. The moment it transpired for all of them, it could certainly happen to you as well.
One widespread query I face is actually from individuals who cannot acquire the ".com" domain of their particular option, but come across the ".net", ".org", ".biz", ".info" (etc) or perhaps location-specific top level domain names (TLDs) (just like.uk,.de,.us,.eu, etc) offered. Would they attempt for these kinds?
In fact, if they stay inside (for example) the United Kingdoms, they're not really prone to desire to consider to order pizza through pizzaparlour.com, which often suggests an multinational website. One might possibly be more contented merely calling it pizzaparlour.co.uk, ie, having a UK web address.
What if yours is actually a web site or simply business endeavor that can certainly take advantage through an a global group of buyers? Again there are actually many beliefs on this particular topic and possibly not a good deal of consensus. I will have to only state a couple of basic types.
The primary school of thought proceeds on the philosophy that it is best to have a website domains name of your selection "myperfectdomain" although these have a TLD of ".net", ".org" or even a few other location unique suffix, as compared to to wind up picking an obscure website domains name for the very simple factor you cannot secure ones own very first preference. Hence these people may well pay off for website domains akin to "myperfectdomain.de" or perhaps "myperfectdomain.net" or what ever. Opposite to this is usually the proclamation that as long as you acquire a country distinct domain, Many folk could think that you really only do business with that location.
Yet another school of thought confirms the alternative suffixes (such as ".net", ".org", ".biz", ".info", etc) to always be reasonably acceptable. For a few, the ".org" suffix in fact gives information about the non-profit characteristics of their particular business. Hence, as an illustration, the recognized Apache web server may easily be located on "apache.org".
Therefore, customers whom do this can be conveyed to to your competitivebusiness if perhaps you really do not as well purchase the ".com" domain name. Really, only a few consumers lean on their particular browser to indicate the rest associated with the name, quite a few basically anticipate a ".com" suffix while they will input a site, consequently if perhaps your trusty business enterprise is actually "Acme", they will just presume your very own domain name is certainly "acme.com" in lieu of "acme.net" or even other sorts of such domain name.
Never make the mistake of attempting to retrofit your current web name for your enterprise or site. My own initially web page, thefreecountry.com did not in actual fact get started with that trademark, and I faced a substantial difficulty (and also dropped users) as a result of the Web address variations. Don't make that mistake too.


Basal cell carcinoma of the skin is presented as pearly lesion with vascular surface ( telangiectasia). The lesion is papule in nature and maybe bleeding or ulcerating and affecting the area exposed to the sun. Basal cell carcinoma is the commonest skin cancer.
Basal cell carcinoma consists of multiple pattern of growth which involve cystic basal cell carcinoma, trabecular basal cell carcinoma and nodular basal cell carcinoma. Basal cell carcinoma presented with cluster of tumor cells with dark blue nuclei. The tumor cells arise from the basal cells of the epidermis. The tumor cells will invade the dermis.
Basal cell carcinoma is rarely metastasis in comparison with squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. The treatment option of basal cell carcinoma of the skin may include surgical excision.
The common causes of basal cell carcinoma are excessive exposure to the ultraviolet light ( sunlight), genetical disorder which affect the DNA repair mechanism ( xeroderma pigmentosum), immunosuppression and individual with a fair skin.
