Чемпионат мира по танго (, также известный как Mundial de Tango) — ежегодное соревнование по , которое проводится в Буэнос-Айресе, как правило в августе, в рамках фестиваля танго в Буэнос-Айресе, организованного правительством города.

Чемпионат мира начал проводиться с 2003 года по инициативе Анибала Ибарра, на тот момент главы правительства города Буэнос-Айреса, и проводился каждый год, однако в 2020 году в связи с пандемией Covid-19 был проведен онлайн в ограниченном формате со специальными условиями и иными правилами. С 2021 года вновь проводится очно.

Правила участия
Соревнование состоит из двух официальных категорий: танго для танцпола «Tango de Pista» и сценическое танго «Tango Escenario», Ранее в конкурсе могли участвовать только пары, состоящие из мужчин и женщин, но в 2013 году правила были смягчены, чтобы разрешить участвовать однополым парам (мужчина танцует с мужчиной или женщина с женщиной). В 2019 году пара двух братьев заняла призовое третье место в категории сценического танго.

Танцоры представляют города или страны и могут зарегистрироваться бесплатно и без каких-либо требований к профессионализму. Регламент не устанавливает никаких ограничений ни в отношении пола и гражданства танцоров, ни в составе пар (любители или профессионалы). Конкурс состоит из трех этапов: отборочного, полуфинала и финала.

Чемпионат является одновременно и заключительным этапом серии предварительных соревнований, проводимых по всему миру, начиная с марта. Традиционно город Буэнос-Айрес и различные муниципалитеты выбирают своих «муниципальных» чемпионов". Эти пары, занявшие второе-пятое место в городском чемпионате и первое место в категории Milongueros del Mundo того же турнира, проходят сразу в полуфинал. Такое же преимущество предоставляется национальным или региональным чемпионам аккредитованных соревнований. К ним относятся Уругвай (UY), Чили (Кали, CL), Колумбия (Богота, Колорадо), Бразилия (Рио-де-Жанейро, BR), США (Сан-Франциско, США), Россия (Москва, RU), Китай (Нанкин, Китай), Япония (Токио, Япония), Корея (Сеул, КР), Франция (Париж, Франция), Великобритания (Лондон, Великобритания), Турция и регион (Стамбул, TR). Тем не менее, победители национальных и отборочных соревнований не обязаны принимать участие в Чемпионате мира. В случае отказа победителей национальных этапов от участия в чемпионате мира право на это участие не переходит.

Пары-победители Чемпионата Буэнос-Айреса и Чемпионата Европы ЕС (Чемпионат Европы, Италия по танго выходят непосредственно в финал.

Жюри во всех категориях состоит из пяти судей квалификационного этапа, шести судей полуфинала и семи судей финала. Каждая пара оценивается индивидуально от одного до десяти баллов, а затем устанавливается среднее значение, которое и является окончательной оценкой. В случае возникновения конфликта интересов при оценке судьей участников по усмотрению организаторов может быть введен резервный судья или исключены оценки соответствующего судьи при расчете среднего балла В каждой категории устанавливается пара-победитель, а также вручаются призы за второе, третье, четвёртое и пятое места.

Финалы обеих категорий проводятся в последнюю субботу и воскресенье фестиваля соответственно. Приз победившей пары в 2019 году составил 100 000 аргентинских песо.

Танго для танцпола

Соревнование в категории танго для танцпола проходит в группах по 10 танцующих одновременно пар (рондах), под музыку, выбранную организаторами, причем выбор не известен участникам заранее. Пары должны встать по кругу и двигаться против часовой стрелки. В каждом туре для каждой ронды исполняются три песни, различные по ритму и стилистике. Эта категория стремится уважать основные традиции танго и устанавливает более строгие хореографические правила, чем категория сценического танго, а именно: объятия не могут быть разорваны, пока длится музыка, взаимодействие осуществляется посредством объятия, так что одного из танцоров всегда нужно «удерживать» эластичным объятием другого партнера; прыжки запрещены; одежда не считается квалификационным параметром, однако внешний вид должен соответствовать социальному танго, а не сценическому.

Согласно регламенту, жюри обязано оценивать в основном музыкальность, взаимодействие в паре и элегантность походки. В этой категории очень важны импровизация и использование традиционных хореографических фигур танго (таких как сэндвич, парада, прогулка, баррида, сакада, энроске, ганчо, болео и т. д.).

В финал выходят 40 пар.

Сценическое танго

Соревнование по сценическому танго проходит для пар, которые танцуют сольно и заранее выбирают музыку. Каждая пара танцует не более четырёх минут. Стиль отличается как хореографическим, так и драматическим исполнением каждой пары.

Эта категория, в отличие от танго для танцпола, стремится к хореографической свободе и отражению множества вариаций, которыми танго представлено в мире, однако без потери идентичности: разрешается разорвать объятие, но в правилах содержится предупреждение, что для этого должна быть «причина и (что должно быть выполнено) в пользу презентации».

Прыжки и использование элементов других танцев (например, балета) разрешены, но не более одной трети времени выступления.

Хореография должна включать "классические фигуры танго: очо, хиро, прогулки, болео, ганчо и «объятие милонгеро».

Костюмы могут быть квалификационным параметром.

В финал выходят 20 пар.

Dr. Tom Barton decided to replicate the successful Greenville Tech Charter High School with a similar school on the Brashier campus. Another charter school was needed because GTCHS had a waiting list for student applicants. A study group met for the first time on October 11, 2004. A small writing committee submitted a Planning and Implementation Grant in January 2005. The committee received the grant of $420,000: $20,000 for planning, $200,000 for the first year the charter school opened, and another $200,000 in year two. The committee then submitted a lengthy charter application, which was approved by the State Department of Education and unanimously by the Board of Trustees for the Greenville County School District in June 2005.
In February 2006, the Planning Committee was informed that the space on Brashier campus would no longer be available to Brashier Middle College Charter High School because the School District asked that their Middle College (partnership between Greenville School District and Greenville Tech) be located on this site. The Planning Committee, with an approved charter for a school in hand, moved forward to open the school at another location. The school name continues to be Brashier Middle College Charter High because it is incorporated under that name.
In March 2006, representatives of the Planning Committee located an available site: Allen Temple Community Development Center, 404 Vardry St. The school's attorney negotiated an acceptable one-year renewal lease. The school opened in August 2006 with 100 freshmen and will add a new class each year, with a maximum of 400 students. Dr. Barton has assured the Planning Committee that Brashier Middle College Charter High School will have the same resources, benefits, and privileges enjoyed by Greenville Tech Charter High School.
In April 2006, the Planning Committee held a press conference to announce the opening of the downtown school, began the search for a principal, held an Open House, and began taking applications for attendance. Students who would be interested in Brashier Middle College Charter High School are those who want a small learning community with individualized learning plans. Students can begin taking classes at Greenville Tech as early as tenth grade (with special permission) in preparation for a certificate or associate degree.
The Planning Committee has petitioned to amend its charter to reflect the relocation of the high school from the Brashier Campus to the Allen Temple CDC. The amendment was requested by the Greenville County School District. This amendment was approved. The school moved to its permanent site at the Brashier Campus of Greenville Technical College during July 2007.

Dear Bollywood, stop ignoring Valentine's Day: Here are makeover tips for your love stories
Living Kalpana Nair Feb 16, 2015 09:44:31 IST
Happy Valentine's Day! It's a day roundly ignored by Bollywood (unless you count this assault by the Rajshris and some other token attempts featuring red, heart-shaped balloons). Proof that Valentine's Day is not big on the Bollywood calendar is that none of the Khans are falling over themselves to release a film on this day. Sadly, it seems that while our movies are full of love stories, cutaways to flowers and coitus, the maroon occasion of Valentine's Day has not yet bloomed on our screens.
Part of the reason for this could be that romance in Bollywood is stuck in a time warp. If we look at iconic romances onscreen, the list would include films like Barsaat, Devdas, Mughal-E-Azam, Kaagaz Ke Phool, Bobby, Lamhe, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Maine Pyar Kiya and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Basically no film made in the last 20 years makes the cut. Maybe Jab We Met or Kuch Kuch Hota Hai could squeeze in, but it would be a stretch.
Part of the reason for this could be that romance in Bollywood is stuck in a time warp. Image courtesy: IBNlive
Clearly, we need a love story for this age. Something that captures the amorous zeitgeist of our complex times. Something relatable. Call me unimaginative, but though I can watch Anarkali's namesake kurta swirling in the Sheesh Mahal umpteen times, I don't think her conundrum quite reflects our current struggles with Cupid. Romance in Bollywood needs a makeover before it's relegated to the background like an overweight junior artist.
So here is a list of things that, for starters, could kick off the process:
Embrace how technology is shaping love
Facebook has started making regular cameos in Bollywood films only in the last two or three years. At this rate, it will take a couple of decades before Tinder features in a film. Would it be so bad if Bobby swiped right on Raj's profile and they ended up meeting?
Retire the last minute train catching sequence
If I see one more arm-extended-train-catching sequence, it is possible that I will go down the route of Aaron Ralston in 127 hours. Let's assume Simran was not secretly training for the Standard Chartered marathon and didn't make it into the train, what would have happened in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and every other film that has followed in its footsteps? For that matter, what's with the mad dash to the airport? Why are Hindi movies so against travel agents and online bookings and web check-ins?
Get used to homosexuality
Stop featuring queer characters for mere comic effect (looking at you, Student of the Year) or as trophies (looking at you, Madhur Bhandarkar). Don't be sly about pushing the envelope (looking at you, Dostana). Wake me up when an A-list star plays a gay character.
Stop the lip sync
There is something very anachronistic about a hero/heroine breaking into a lip sync song in this day and age, especially since the playback singers' voices don't really match the heroes' speaking voices. Lip sync sticks out like a sore thumb. But don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Songs are great, but lip syncing needs to go. It's dissonant and never feels authentic.
Professions: Did Geet in Jab We Met have a job? She was a teacher in the time that she was lovelorn. However when she was chirpy, she had no job. So maybe the two are related. What did Simran in DDLJ want to be professionally? What does Anjali in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai do, apart from teaching summer school? Does Veera in Highway have a job? The answers to all of these are vague or in the negative. Love stories in Bollywood seem to believe that being in love is a professional occupation for a woman, thereby making an actual job redundant. It would make for more rounded characters if a professional life was at least hinted at with some degree of authenticity.
Pucker up, but skilfully
And finally, while this is not a prerequisite, could our heroes and heroines please learn to start kissing better onscreen? Every time a hero lunges forward for a kiss, I am reminded of a swimming instructor administering CPR. Offscreen, I doubt any of them have any inhibitions or lack of skill when it comes to the tongue tango, but in front of the camera a kiss on the lips is enacted as if a gun is being held to the actors' heads. It probably speaks to the last vestiges of prudery that dictates what's kosher for a star to do. If our filmi PDA begins to look convincing, maybe our love stories will follow suit?

The next luncheon is less than a week away on Thursday, April 23rd. We have a date with Alejandra Morante in her new Morante Art Bar on Revolucíon between Morelos and Victoria. The house is to the right side of the Arte House and is painted lemon yellow with dark purple trim and has a female pirate painted on the front. Wait until you see the decor and ingenious faux paintings on the inside.
Here is the Menu she has put together for us.
Entrees: noodles in meat sauce.


Additionally, they keep a map of Atlanta's fruit and nut trees and bushes.
On Tuesday I saw this Facebook post and jumped at the chance to help out!
Serviceberries (genus Amelanchier) are shrubs or small trees that produce edible fruit. They're native to Georgia and provide a good food source for wildlife as well as humans. Some varieties are popular ornamentals, with beautiful bark, flowers, and fall foliage.
The fruit looks similar to a blueberry. They are slightly sweet and very juicy.
Trees Atlanta appreciates serviceberries for the above reasons and has planted hundreds of them as part of their NeighborWoods and other planting programs. Georgia Tech's campus has almost 200 of them.
After the leader Craig taught us how to tell if the berries were good for picking, the eight or so volunteers began collecting berries. After only 45 minutes or so of work, and only harvesting 8 or so trees, we collected all the berries shown below (plus a few that we ate; let's be honest!) While we were there, a flock of cedar waxwings swooped through to eat their fill of the berries, demonstrating the usefulness of these plants to our native wildlife, as well.
The berry pick was a quick and fun opportunity to get involved and get to learn about this great source of food.
If you're reading this soon after I post it (or in a subsequent Spring), you might want to check out the Fruit Ramble. It's this coming Sunday (May 21, 2017). It sounds like a neat event where you can walk or bike to see 10+ species of fruit trees, and then there are several other fun activities as well.
There will be many more opportunities like this in the coming months, so follow Concrete Jungle on Facebook or join their mailing list to keep informed of upcoming events.

Public Enemy No. 1: GOP Donors
The White House attack on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce isn't about "disclosure." It's about disarmament. While posing as campaign finance champions, the ultimate goal of the Democratic offensive is to intimidate conservative donors, chill political free speech and drain Republican coffers.
Chamber of Commerce official Bruce Josten tried to educate the public. "(W)e know what the purpose here is," he told ABC News. "It's to harass and intimidate." Josten cited protests and threats against chamber members as retribution for ads the organization ran opposing the federal health care takeover.
But this isn't the first time liberal bullyboys have targeted right-leaning contributors. Far from it.
In August 2008, a former Washington director of MoveOn.org—the smear merchant group that branded Gen. David Petraeus a traitor for overseeing the successful troop surge in Iraq—announced a brazen witch hunt against Republican donors. Left-wing political operative Tom Matzzie told The New York Times he would send "warning" letters to 10,000 top GOP givers "hoping to create a chilling effect that will dry up contributions." Matzzie bragged of "going for the jugular" and said the warning letter would be just the first step, "alerting donors who might be considering giving to right-wing groups to a variety of potential dangers, including legal trouble, public exposure and watchdog groups digging through their lives."[Group Plans Campaign Against G.O.P. Donors, By Michael Luo, August 7, 2008]
Defenders of this brown-shirt initiative played the disclosure card—hey, they were just providing "information"—to rationalize the public humiliation of GOP donors.
Matzzie also put up a $100,000 bounty for dirt on conservative political groups "to create a sense of scandal around the groups" and dissuade donors from giving money. The effort was cheered by Accountable America adviser Judd Legum, founder of Think Progress—the same group leading the attack today on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Yet, Matzzie's group, Accountable America, is itself a 501(c)(4) nonprofit entity that shields the identity of its donors. (The group is required by law to remain nonpartisan, but has described itself as "dedicated to electing Democrats to the state legislature across America.") By targeting direct, hard-money contributors who are required to disclose their occupations, addresses and employers, Matzzie's assault simply created a sunshine-evading incentive to steer campaign donations to soft-money groups that protect donor identities. You know, like Accountable America does.
Piggybacking on the Accountable America foray, Obama's presidential campaign lawyers demanded that the Justice Department block TV stations from airing a documented, factual independent ad spotlighting Obama's longtime working relationship with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers. Obama summoned his followers to bombard stations, many of them owned by conservative-leaning Sinclair Communications, with 93,000 e-mails to squelch the commercial. Team Obama then tried—and failed—to convince the DOJ to investigate and prosecute the American Issues Project, the group that produced the Ayers ad, as well as Dallas billionaire and GOP donor Harold Simmons, who funded it.
Two Obama supporters—Democratic St. Louis County (Mo.) Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch and St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce—took the next step and threatened to bring criminal libel charges against anyone who sponsored objectionable criticisms of Obama.
In California, gay rights mau-mau-ers compiled black lists and harassment lists of citizens who contributed to the Proposition 8 initiative in defense of traditional marriage. A Los Angeles restaurant whose manager made a small donation to the Prop. 8 campaign was besieged nightly by hordes of protesters who disrupted the business, intimidated patrons and brought employees to tears. Terrified workers at El Coyote Mexican Cafe pooled together $500 to pay off the protesters. A theater director who donated $1,000 to Prop. 8 was forced to resign over the donation.
Anonymous mischief-makers created "Eight Maps," a detailed directory of Prop. 8 donors using Google Maps to pinpoint their residences and businesses. Death threats, enveloped with powdery substances, and boycotts ensued. "When I see those maps," admitted California Voter Foundation President Kim Alexander, "it does leave me with a bit of a sick feeling in my stomach."
It's the same feeling every American should be left with after witnessing the liberal thug-tested, White House-approved donor suppression campaign against fiscal and social conservatives. In the hands of leftist vigilantes, "disclosure" is a deadly bludgeon; political free speech is the casualty.

Discussion in 'Genesis/Mega Drive' started by Don Gloton, Apr 10, 2002.
Hi! I´ve just bougt a 32X. The roblem is that I don´t know how yo connect it. I mean. It came with an ac adaptor and a cable. One end is the standard Megadrive 1 male av out ant the other end is the mini out. The cable plugs perfectly in my Megadrive 1 and in any of the two ports in the back of the 32 X. Then I use RF and I hook the Megadrive to the tv. The problem is that I only get megadrive graphics. I mean, in Mortal Kombat 2, i.e. I only get the backgrounds but I can´t see the fighters. I know that everything is working properly because I can play the game. I can fight and lose (because I see no fighters). I guess that one cable is missing.
Can I make a cable, in case one it´s missing?
I also got a strange piece of metal with the system. What it is for?
32X uses a "pass through" arrangement for video, in other words you need to hook up the MD to the 32X's AV in, as you've done, then connect the AV output of the 32X to your TV.
The 32X has the same type of output as the Mega Drive 2 (9 pin mini DIN) so a suitable cable shouldn't be too difficult to find.
As for the metal part, it's just for RF shielding. The 32X will still work without it.
If you're making a SCART cable you should fit a 75 ohm resistor in series on each of the Red, Green and Blue lines.
I´ll try to make the cable because I live in Spain and here it´s very hard to find these scart cables for the megadrive.

Here is the first of Joan's columns on Humility published by NRConline.
There's been a lot of foot-stomping and harrumphing going on in Washington, D.C., in the last several weeks. First, someone walked out of a meeting about … oh, yes, almost forgot … the future of the United States. Then, people began barricading themselves in their offices and having no meetings at all. Finally, the old game of attention-getting began, as in who can commit the most ridiculous behavior today in order to make people forget yesterday's even more ridiculous behavior. This time it's the threat of "a national emergency" to save us from all the sick children, penniless women and jobless men trying to become hard-working citizens of the United States just like our ancestors before them.
All in all, Washington has become a B-level soap opera, except that the speeches are boring and the high-level name-calling is getting dull. It could all be funny if it weren't so destructive. As it is, it's a danger to American democracy, a danger to the future of the country, and a danger to the family of nations, as well.
Interestingly enough, it was precisely in an equally inane environment like this one that Benedict of Norcia in sixth-century Italy designed a rule of life, which, historians tell us, saved Western civilization by renewing its sense of spiritual values, restoring social order and raising the level of culture throughout Europe.
The first of Benedict's 12 principles of humility, for instance, turns both religion and government upside down. The first degree of humility, he teaches, is that we "keep the reverence of God always before our eyes and never forget it."
Religion, of course, presents God as something to be "merited" — won, achieved by keeping all the rules. This is exactly why people feel like religious failures: Perfection is not a human thing. Nobody keeps all the rules all the time, let alone perfectly. But by making consciousness of the will of God his first principle of humility, Benedict makes it clear that we don't have to earn God because we already have God. All we really need to do is to grow into the consciousness that God is already with us and so realize that God's will for the world must be our will, too. And we must not "forget it."
In the face of such arrogance, such narcissism, such dominance, Benedict taught people to remember the pre-eminence of God. "Revere God," he taught, rather than aggrandize the self. "Remember that God is God," he taught, and we are not.
The teaching is a simple but overwhelming one. Just think of it: If we really remember that God created us, that God gives us the world in order to complete God's image for creation, then all the personal grandstanding is for nothing: "I'm the greatest!" No, actually you are not. "I'm the only one who can solve this?" Not on your life. "I'm the first, the best, the greatest, the only one who knows the answers." Not at all. Or, "These other people are not like us; they are our evil enemies, they are beneath us, a danger to us, rapists, thieves, murderers." Or to say it all better, clearer, in shorthand: They are not dominant, powerful, nuclear-armed, white males. Otherwise we would be as concerned about the well-being of their children as we are of ours.
From where I stand, only this first degree of humility — the recognition that we have no claim on Godness— can save us from ourselves. In fact, on Jan. 25 some of Europe's most prominent intellectuals signed and published a "pro-European manifesto" that warns that "Europe is in peril" from "populist forces" — "false prophets" — that now threaten democracy everywhere. Nor should we forget that Pope Benedict XVI took as the central concern of his papacy "the re-evangelization of Europe," the recall of Europe to the very spiritual values, social order and quality of culture that Benedict of Norcia had bequeathed it centuries ago. And now we are face to face with it ourselves. It is a surely a moment to rethink our own slip into self-aggrandizement and political narcissism, to decide if we would rather live in a world of equals or a world of sycophants and slaves of the powerful few.
Instead, we must be open to learning from one another, supporting one another, integrating all, and work together as peoples, not as imperial populists who get power by stirring up fear, any fear as long as we're afraid of it. Only commitment to the will of God for all can bring this world, this country — any country — back to a state of national greatness, global glory and humane humanity.
We must refuse our claim to Godliness. First we must model humility, civility, respect with one another, then we must model it in our politics, and, finally, we must give up our illusions of superiority, sexism, patriarchy and racism. Then, all of us together, must bow down before the God who made us — all of us in God's image, yes, but not one of us as God's ultimate likeness.

Q: Python "how many elements have" I have some data, for example:
input=[['1', '7', 'U1'], ['1.5', '8', 'U1'], ['2', '5.5', 'U1'], ['2', '9', 'U1'], ['2.5', '6.5', 'U1'], ['2.5', '8', 'U1'], ['2.5', '10', 'U2'], ['3', '4.5', 'U2'], ['3', '9', 'U2'], ['3.5', '5.5', 'U2']]

How can I get numbers of how many U1 and U2 data is in all my data? This U1 and U2 is always on last place of every row, but has various name(so it must first read name....)!!!. I want to get for this example:
U1: 6
U2: 4

A: I modified the index from 2 to -1 to reflect your requirement of 'last element on every row' in case each row has a different number of elements.
from collections import defaultdict
d = defaultdict(int)
for record in input:
    d[record[-1]] += 1
print d

A: You can do this using a list comprehension:
num_u1 = len([x for x in input if x[2] == "U1"])
num_u2 = len([x for x in input if x[2] == "U2"])

There are other ways to do this that are less repetitive if you have more than two things you're looking for.

A: For python2.7+
>>> from operator import itemgetter
>>> from collections import Counter
>>> Counter(map(itemgetter(-1), input))
Counter({'U1': 6, 'U2': 4})

Using input as a variable name is a bad idea because it shadows the builtin input()

Like a frosted super-slide, a tulip leaf curves into a bed of English ivy in my backyard on this first day of Spring.
Four days ago my hyacinths had poked through the mulch, sure that the sun and the tilt of Earth's axis would nurture them. It's supposed to drop down to 21 degrees tomorrow night; I think their tender optimism may be unfounded.
"You all have greatness in you"


Julian read a few sentences. He says he wishes that I had discussed this with him first as he is willing to do more if I just ask him to. He doesn't see "mess" – and I know that – so is unlikely to do dusting or vacuuming or cleaning without being asked. He says he asks me if there's anything he can do and I usually say 'no', which is true. And, importantly, he says he does appreciate what I do. I think women, particularly of my generation/age will understand what I said and how I feel more than men or younger people will or can.
After reading the post, my daughter rang to see if World War III had broken out in our house!
When I was a kid in America, we occasionally had 'art lessons' which consisted of being given a piece of paper and told to draw whatever. We had pictures to colour-in and were encouraged to 'decorate' round the edges of compositions but there were, to my knowledge, no painting and no drawing lessons. I spent a year at a private girls' school where we did have proper art lessons but I was six or seven years behind the other girls and my attempts weren't much good.
Fast forward to London, circa 1960. My mother, who was good at drawing and had done some painting, hired a young person whose name I have forgotten, to come and give drawing lessons to my sister, Jennie – at least, that's the way I remember it. Apparently, I drew something during one of those lessons, which was thought to be 'good' but I was far more interested in boys, dancing, pop songs etc and didn't even remember doing that drawing until Jennie reminded me some time ago.
Fast forward yet again to the mid-eighties. Ralph (Julian's dad) had found another project in West Malling (see earlier post about the Wine Bar) and had brought back to life a small courtyard of old buildings in Swan Street. He opened The Mill Yard Craft Centre where there were some really interesting businesses. Dorothy, who hand-knitted gorgeous sweaters, a man who made wooden toys and other articles, a photographer who took black and white photos, husband and wife ceramicists, a silversmith, a great café and a few others which have slipped my mind. There was a slightly more modern building as well which had a room in which craft fairs were held occasionally and, upstairs, a large room which was used for spiritual-healing sessions and art lessons.
I thought I might like to paint (I don't know why as I had never had that urge before!) My first painting teacher was Diane whom I knew from one of the schools I worked in. I chose oil painting as I instinctively knew that I hadn't the necessary skill for water colours. I stayed with Diane for a year and enjoyed my painting but didn't really feel that I was an 'artist'. After that first year I didn't carry on with lessons and forgot all about it for a year or two. Then, Angela, my lovely mother-in-law, started teaching a class with the title "I Can't Draw, I Can't Paint" and I thought, that's the one for me!
One of my first paintings in 1985 -ish. It is Robin Hoods Bay, Yorkshire where we had gone on holiday.
In that class we were given interesting items to draw – scrunched up pieces of foil, fruit and vegetables, fabrics etc and I went so far as to go out and buy a small sketch book which I carried everywhere. If I had a little spare time I would draw what I could see. I can't remember why I stopped going to that class but I got out of the habit of sketching and did something else….I've no idea what it was but it probably wasn't as fun or as useful as sketching.
Fast forward to 2007. Having retired and moved to Broadstairs two years earlier, I needed to find ways and reasons to go out and meet people. At first I went to a class on Roman and Greek history, then to a class on Baroque and Rococo art. Then, I thought, why not take up painting again? This happened because Julian, a much more out-going person than I am, came home from his art group meeting with a gorgeous set of Rosemary brushes. I lusted after the brushes though I had no paint or canvas. That set me on the path to becoming a real oil painter!
I signed up for an adult education class for beginners in oils. Although I had painted in oils about twenty years earlier, I thought I would start again. I bought a big sketch book, paints, some Rosemary brushes, a pad of oil painting paper, a pad of disposable palette paper and some turps. My teacher was called Judith and she was excellent at explaining how to get various effects and introducing us to the works of famous artists. After a year I had to give up because my knees were so bad but, after a year or so out for operations and recovery, I went back to Judith's class. But, I still didn't feel like an artist.
Then Judith left to do some art of her own and Duncan came in her place. He introduced us to new techniques and to other painters – and, though I know I didn't paint the things Duncan wanted me to, because I couldn't, I began to feel like an artist!
Last year I quit going to classes and started painting in a makeshift studio at home, sharing what should be the dining room with my husband at one end and me at the other. He paints things that he sees and his paintings are usually good or, even excellent, and are in a more-or-less impressionist style. Me? My paintings don't seem to come under any label I can find. They are certainly not realism, nor are they impressionism, cubism, fauvism etc. The nearest is abstract, but I think an abstract has to start out as one thing from which a painter abstracts something and ends up with another thing. My paintings don't start with a picture in my head (read my post on APHANTASIA or look it up on Google) nor even with an idea. I stare at my tubes of paint, choose the ones I'll start with, get a large brush and PAINT. I keep looking at it, adding bits, wishing I hadn't put that colour there, turning the canvas on its side, applying more paint, intertwining lines of colour, and eventually, I decide I've finished – for now. I might go back to a painting weeks or months later and change it by adding one or more colours or painting over it entirely!
A month ago I entered two of my paintings into a well-known exhibition and I am now waiting to hear whether either has been accepted. The two I've entered are two that I worked on over a year ago then added to, more recently. I am very pleased with them but I know liking a painting is subjective and no-one else might like them as much as I do! I'll let you know if one or other is accepted and, if they're accepted, I'll add photos of them, then.
" There are quite a few elephants in this painting but most are hiding. c Oct. 2017.
The title, of course, refers to the mess I make as an artist. After an hour of painting, my hands, my apron and sometimes my clothes are covered with paint. Some people are very tidy and you wouldn't know they had been painting (I'm not talking about you here, Andrea!!). And too, often my paintings look to me like just a mess of paint but I can deal with that. What I dislike is cleaning brushes. They cause so much mess! Just a swift cleanse is fine – swish in spirit (I use Zest-it), a wipe on cloth, another swish, another wipe and it can be used again, at least for a similar colour but for a really clean brush you have to swish it in spirit quite a few times and get as much of the oil and pigment as possible out of the brush then wash with soap and warm water. Just when you think there's no more pigment left, the water turns slightly pink (or blue or green) and you have to soap it up again, By the time the brushes are clean, the sink needs a good clean as do the splashback, wall and floor!
My latest post – University, At Last is about my continuing education, even through my 70's.
When I was young and still at school my greatest desire and ambition was to be a teacher. At the time, in the UK, one had to go to a Teacher Training College where one studied loads of educational subjects (child psychology, art, maths, a bit of philosophy, history, physical education, etc) and one subject in depth. Having failed some of my school exams, I failed to qualify for a place at a Training College although I was employed for a year by the now-defunct London County Council as a 'pre-trainee teacher'.
If you've read my earlier posts you'll know that I had my brilliant daughter without being married to her father which, in those days (1964) was a societal no-no, so I was busy looking after her with the help of my mother and sisters. I was lucky to have had her in London where people were a little more broad-minded than people in some other parts of England, where a lot of girls, who would have been happy to keep their babies, were sent off by their families to 'mother and baby homes', which provided a place for girls to 'hide' until the baby was born and placed for adoption. As a new mum I couldn't go back to school to re-study for the exams I had failed, straight away and I put my ambition to one side – happily, I might add, as I enjoyed the job of looking after and bringing up my gorgeous girl.
Seven years passed. I was working as a secretary for a sign-manufacturer. The boss decided I would make a good salesperson, going out on the road to sell our signs to architects. He obviously didn't know me very well as, at the time, I was very shy and unconfident (I still am in large groups of people that I don't know). After a few months of being a 'rep' as well as the secretary, I was made redundant. (He wanted an excuse to get rid of me!).
About a five minute walk away from my work-place was Acton Town Hall which, at the time, housed a Teacher Training College named after a man called Thomas Huxley. I went into the college office and found that I was just in time to apply for a place for the next term and, that very day, to take a short exam. It didn't matter that I didn't have all the proper qualifications as I was considered a 'mature' student, had basic 'O' levels as well as French 'A' level and, happily, I passed the entrance exam.
I became a teacher and was employed as such for the next twenty or so years, in various ways – as a class teacher, as a 'supply teacher', as a part-time French teacher and as a Saturday morning French teacher for small groups of eight to ten year olds. I'm sad to say that I didn't love teaching as much as I thought I would though there were some wonderful days.
After I started as an antique dealer I carried on the supply teaching as it brought in more money than the antiques but after a while schools started using agencies to find supply staff and I didn't want to go on an agency's books as I would probably have been expected to do more than the occasional day.
Having studied French in depth, I thought I'd like to get a degree in it as I hadn't actually been to university. While I was still teaching I had done the 'Arts Foundation' course with the Open University and had enjoyed the challenges it set. A year or so later I signed up for a degree course in French with the University of Kent. The degree would take, I seem to remember, five years and I would go to their branch in Tonbridge one night a week for classes. I was thrilled!
I had thought the the Open University course was challenging but it was nothing compared to this! We had to read one full French novel a week, in French, plus pages of grammar exercises and learning new vocabulary. I enjoyed the reading, I enjoyed the grammar but I absolutely HATED having to speak in front of a large group of people IN FRENCH. (Again the shyness and lack of confidence).
Retirement and the seaside happened in 2005. Being quite happy with my own company I didn't rush out to make loads of new friends but, as the years sped by, I joined classes where I used my brain, spent hours a week in the local swimming pool, meeting new friends, started painting classes again and met more new friends and convinced Julian that we needed to look into the U3A which we eventually joined.
The U3A – The University of the Third Age. If you are interested to know exactly what the U3A is, please Google it! I'll tell you what it is, to me. It is a way of using my brain – at this moment I am attending a Latin group which is run by a member of the U3A and all my fellow 'students' are members, too. It is a once-a-week-for-seven-weeks course which will give us a taste of the language in a fun way (no Caesar de Bello Gallico or Vergil). At the end of the seven weeks I assume we'll either be offered a further course or will be able to carry on alone. Perhaps there are Latin classes in the adult education centre….if I'm interested, I'll find out!
I've also joined the Armchair Critics, a group of members who go to the local cinema (110 seats or thereabouts!), watch a film, then go off to a local pub to discuss the film and have a coffee or something a little stronger. Another of my favourite groups is the Lunch Group. A U3A member scouts out a good place to eat, sends out a newsletter with menus, a date and the cost and we send back our menu choice and a cheque for the right amount. This month we are going to a Greek restaurant in Ramsgate.
Julian is more gregarious than I am and is always out, painting or singing and last year he went to a four week drama course which is totally unlike him! This term he's doing the History of Blues course which I attended last term and which is run by our next door neighbour who is, coincidentally, the husband of the woman who started the Armchair Critics.
I used to co-run a group of people interested in antiques and 'collectables' with my friend, Myrna. The first week there were four or five people who came but after that people dropped away and we gave that group up. There is a very successful Collectors Group run by my friend Margaret who also runs a few other groups. That's the good thing about the U3A. You can do as much or as little as you want. You can run a group for small or larger groups about something that interests you, or about something you are expert at. You can eat with the Lunch group, do country dancing, join the gardening group, read poetry, write prose, learn about computers or – and this is more like me – do absolutely nothing for a while then find a course that interests you, spend a few weeks or months doing that until it finishes, then do nothing again for a while. I would like to run a group but I have no expertise (except, maybe, in old jigsaw puzzles) and, anyway, at the moment I am concentrating on Tai-chi (local adult education) Latin and my oil paintings.
Rosie in the garden of our seaside home.
In 1994 we moved to a gorgeous little village about a mile or so away from East Malling called Wateringbury. Our new house was partly very old. The two-storey front of the house was built in the nineteenth century but the one storey back was much older (though no one ever told me just how much older!) There was a small front garden which was planted with shrubs and I didn't really have anything to do in it but the back garden was huge and wonderful! It had been planned and planted by the previous owners who had been there for nearly 25 years. I think maybe they wanted to move into a different place so that they could start planning another garden.
In ours there were plants from all corners of the world. There was a wonderful old cedar tree, a eucalyptus, a lovely wisteria growing near the back terrace, an arbour which was covered, when we moved in, with some sort of vine, and myriad other shrubs, trees and perennials which I can't now name as well as bulbs and evergreen ground cover plants. There were two ponds. The biggest was just beyond the terrace and it was fed by the smaller pond via a waterfall as the small pond was on a higher level. This bigger pond was stocked with some gorgeous fish. It had an electric filter. It's wiring was all underground and it had a little door in the ground where you could find the on/off switch and the plug and socket.
Around this time both Julian and I changed professions – Julian went to Wales and came back a fully fledged upholsterer (it took some months with gaps between) and I gave up full-time teaching and did some supply teaching (substitute teaching to my American friends) as well as started doing a little buying and selling of antique linens and sewing tools.
After a year or so of doing upholstery jobs in a crowded garage and the house getting (slightly) overwhelmed with the loads of linens I was buying to sell, we decided to find premises where we could do furniture restoration, upholstery and sell antiques. We were really lucky and found an old pub which had been turned into offices with living accommodation above. It was the old Rose and Crown which was just opposite my old home, Market Cross Cottage (see earlier posts) in West Malling High Street. The Rose and Crown became Rose and Crown Antiques and J&C Furniture Restoration.
All good things come to an end and so it happened that after seven years we realised we were living hand-to-mouth and we were getting too old for the life we were living so we decided to retire and move 'to the seaside'.
Here, we have a good-sized garden which we have made our own – with the help of a local garden design company who dug out almost everything, removed the blasted fish pond, made us a level seating area in the part of the garden that gets the best sun, and gave me a wild-flower area to lure birds, bees and butterflies. I have bought and planted a few shrubs and trees and put annuals and perennials into the raised beds. I haven't got the energy or agility that I once had and don't do as much gardening as I would like to do but am happy pottering and watching things grow. One of my favourite bits is the 'insect hotel' which I put up a year or so ago. It's great to see the 'entrances' of the holes bunged up with bits of leaf, curls of wood or what looks like mud.
So, once more I will say, thank you, Iris for helping me learn to dig, sow, reap and, especially, love my outside space!
When we lived in London, we lived mostly in flats. The first was on the sixth floor and the only area outside was a fire escape where the rubbish bins were kept; the second flat was above a shoe shop and had the flat roof of the shop as outdoor space. The woman next door, Marge, had made quite a nice area of pots of summer flowers and I tried to do the same but I had never done anything in the way of gardening and wasn't too successful. Our house near Ravenscourt Park, where we lived for under a year, had a pie-wedge shaped garden which was facing the north and never got any sun. Everything that we planted was stunted and turned yellow. It was a good space for our first tortoise who, sadly though, did not make it into the early months of the year following the one winter we spent there, as the dog next door constantly leapt over the fence and grabbed her in his mouth, running into his own house and hiding her – leaving her with bite holes in her shell. Even with the bites she might have survived her hibernation had one of our cats (probably Moosh) not found her in the box room and used her hibernation box with its straw as a cat toilet!
We lived in West Malling for twelve years. Those first years I was busy learning to be a teacher and, later, teaching. There came a time, though, that I hungered to do some serious gardening, perhaps grow food rather than just pretty little flowers but we had no room in the yard which was something like fifteen feet by twelve feet and cobbled.
Allotment to rent, please ring 84—- .
so I went home and rang. The nice woman whose son owned the land said that she thought someone else had already been given it but to come and have a look. I walked down to the A20 through Banky Meadow and along the road to a group of four brick terraced houses. To get to the door I had to walk down a driveway. On the left were the houses and on the right was a stream and a beautiful – but very wild – big plot of land. I was shown around and immediately fell in love with the place, but knew that the other person had asked first and was going to take it……..She didn't!
I bought a spade and some seeds. Daily I would go to the allotment and try to dig up a space where I could sow seeds. Not having had any real gardening experience, I didn't get far. I was very lucky, though. Iris, the wife of the restaurant owner, offered to help. She had loads of experience as she had once lived in a house with a garden before Frank bought the restaurant. She offered to advise me and, though she was in her sixties, also offered to help with the digging! With her help we were able to dig and remove weeds from a nice sized plot of around six metres by six metres where I planted broad beans, peas, French beans, Swiss chard, and bush tomatoes. Of those vegetables, the French beans, chard and tomatoes survived and, eventually, paid for all the hard work. The broad beans and peas were covered with aphids which I just couldn't control so I dug those plants out. I still didn't know much! I was learning, though, about crop rotation etc.
The next year I had onions, tomatoes, chard, beans and tomatoes and decided I'd try potatoes. I got out my special hoe (the name of which I don't remember but it was supposed to make digging a lot easier!). I started on a new patch which had not been tackled the previous year. Suddenly, clang! I hit something hard. I got down on my hands and knees and found a hard substance with a rounded top. With my trowel, I carefully dug further along and the object was there, too. Then I panicked! I thought of the fact that West Malling had been a target for German bombers in WWII and was convinced that this was a bomb!
Sometime later, listening to stories about West Malling, I realised that the object I found could have been the top of a man-made tunnel. West Malling Abbey is on the hill above the allotment (but not in view) and there were many stories about there being tunnels to Leybourne Castle which is about half a mile from the allotment site in the opposite direction. Whether it was or wasn't a tunnel really isn't important any longer, though, as the "powers that be" decided, some years after I stopped using that land, to knock down the houses, and use all that land plus a lot more, for roads, roundabouts and traffic islands. I doubt if any archaeology was done and assume that the bulldozers went in and did whatever needed doing.
Then I met Julian and we bought a house in East Malling. There was a huge garden at the back – about 30 metres long by 25 metres wide – but it had not been cultivated so I used all my garden knowledge to bring it under control. We moved in, in November, 1982 so there wasn't much I could do but clear out areas where rubbish had been dumped. There were old wooden stakes with lots of wire attached, there was a green house frame, and there were weeds galore. Brambles – for those who don't know – are blackberry plants gone bonkers!
It took several years but we did eventually tame that bit of the garden. There were other bits that just needed mowing and digging. There was a half decent lawn, a wonderful ancient apple tree (Ribston Pippins), and a white lilac planted by the previous owners, and a lovely damson tree which helped me make many a jar of delicious jam until the 'hurricane' of 1987 when it was blown over.
Left: outside our house in East Malling with a surprise Wisteria. Right: The apple tree in full blossom.
Even today in Britain there are lots of houses built before the twentieth century or even later which have either cess pits or septic tanks because, for one reason or another, there are no nearby sewers to carry away the waste. Cess pits have to be emptied from time to time which is a costly and smelly business. When we lived in East Malling our electricity came from the local paper mills for some reason and the waste from toilet, washing machine, bath, shower and basin all went into the cess pit which was under our driveway. There was a lid, about (and I'm guessing here) 2'6′ x 2'6″ which needed to be lifted off for the cess pit lorry whom we would phone when we needed to have the cess pit emptied.
Now, to change the subject for a short time before coming back to cess pits, Julian had bought an old military vehicle called a Dingo, which arrived in many pieces and which he spent many, many evenings and week-ends putting together and making nuts and bolts for, before it was finally finished and road worthy. About eight or nine miles away was a yearly Fair where owners of old military stuff would turn up to show off their vehicles, look at other peoples' vehicles, sell bits and pieces and, finally, parade themselves and their various tanks, Ambulances, jeeps, etc around a ring (at least this is what I think they did. Julian will soon tell me what they actually did when he reads this!). Julian and a young friend from a nearby farm were determined to take his Dingo to this military show. Julian filled it with fuel and he and the youngster set off down the road. Not much later the Dingo stopped and refused to restart or go further so it was towed back to the house and parked on the driveway.
Shortly, it started to rain and, as the Dingo didn't at that time have a lid or roof, Julian wanted to cover it with tarpaulin. The young friend stood on an old log to throw the tarpaulin over the top. Unfortunately, the log was on the cess pit lid and its weight plus the youngster's weight collapsed the lid! Luckily, the boy, with great presence of mind, opened out his elbows and stopped himself from falling into the cess pit! He shouted out and we found him dangling over the open cess pit which, luckily had been partially emptied not many days earlier. We grabbed him and pulled him out and, aside from a ruined pair of shoes, he was none the worse for his experience. The cess pit lid was replaced with a much stronger one the next day.
The roads – in America roads were broad, often with cars parked on either side plus room for two cars easily to pass. In most places in the UK the roads were built for users on foot or horse and couldn't be adapted to take large vehicles because of the buildings which, in some cases, had been there for hundreds of years. Roads that were made from the beginning of car ownership were built with the compact British cars in mind and, also, in 1958 and for another ten years or so, car ownership was the exception rather than the rule.
British coins from farthing to crown plus a ten shilling note.
Nowadays all of those 'strange' things have changed and the ones I experienced have become part of my history and so, a part of me. We live in a house which is attatched to a sewage system (albeit with hundred year old pipes connecting us to it), we have two cars, neither of which has fins(!), we could, if we wanted to, easily find fast food in the shape of McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, Pizza Hut etc, and we are very used to handling the once strange coins and notes.
I hope the year brings much needed peace to the world and that you and your families all are happy, keep healthy and are safe.

Q: troubles with fadeIn()/fadeOut(); jquery got button named 'notebutt' vith 'oncklick' func
function is very simple user click's on button and div is fadeIn(), click again and div must fadeout();
        notebutt.bind("click", function () {
        var notediv = $(this).parent().find("div.notediv");
        // checking is notediv exist already, if not, creating one and do fadeIn(150);
        if (!notediv) {
        notediv = $('

');
        notediv.appendTo($(this).parent());
        notediv.offset({top: posT-47}).fadeIn(150);
        } else {
        // if got notediv created before, i must show or hide it with hideorshow(notediv);
                hideorshow(notediv);
        }

});
    // func that check's is div was showned or not
function hideorshow(div){
if ($(div).is(':visible')) {
    //hide if visible
    div.fadeOut();
} else {
        div.offset({top: posT-47});
        div.fadeIn();
}
};

at first sight it works like should, but after 5 - 10 clicks on button all goes wrong,
div is randomly blink on click like if fadeIn and fadeOut runs in same time, or each other
is there is any way to make some proper trigger to check div state?

A: In your example, notediv is already a jquery object:
function hideorshow(div){
if (div.is(':visible')) { //replace $(div) by div
    //hide if visible
    div.fadeOut();
} else {
        div.offset({top: posT-47});
        div.fadeIn();
}
};

A complainant said that a report 'Australians using payday lenders increased 80 per cent in two years: research' included an inaccurate statement that consumers who don't repay loans on time can face annual interest rates of more than 300 per cent. The complainant expressed dissatisfaction with the ABC's initial response which advised that the reporter's reference to this figure as the "interest" a borrower would have to pay on the loan was not materially misleading and that the report was in keeping with the ABC's editorial standards for accuracy.
On review, the ABC acknowledged the complainant's concern regarding the reporter's reference to "annual interest rates of more than 300 per cent". The program posted an Editor's Note to the online transcript of the report clarifying that while credit providers are not allowed to charge annual interest on the loans, borrowers may face a host of allowable fees that can create a potential accumulation of charges within the range of 300 per cent.

Russell Dickerson & Wife Kailey Expecting First Child
by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | April 16, 2020
Russell Dickerson and wife Kailey announced via Instagram on April 15 that they are expecting their first child.
"THE DAD SHOES ARE OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL! WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!" said Russell in the post.
Russell and Kailey were married in 2013.
Russell is trying to score his fourth No. 1 single with "Love You Like I Used To." The new tune, which is the first sample of new music from Russell's upcoming sophomore album, serves as a love letter to Kailey.
"The beginning of this song is intentionally different from me," says Russell. "It makes you think it is a breakup song, but it is really a lead up to how great loves evolve and get better over time. Like all of my songs, I've lived it. I started dating my wife 10 years ago, and it is true—I don't love her like I used to, and I think a lot of people will be able to relate to this song. It's a really special song that I'm crazy proud of!"
After topping the charts with "Yours" and "Blue Tacoma" in 2018, Russell scored his third No. 1 single with "Every Little Thing" in November 2019. All three of Russell's No. 1 songs are featured on his 2017 debut album, Yours.

Hispanic Christians Join Lobbying Effort Against United Nations Vote
by JNS | Jan 5, 2017 | Christian Zionism

The Hispanic Israel Leadership Coalition (HILC), a leading pro-Israel Latino Christian initiative, is planning to mobilize its leadership and supporters to lobby Congress Jan. 11 to reject the United Nations Security Council's recent resolution that condemns Israeli settlements.
The Dec. 23 resolution, HILC said in a statement, denies "the Jewish people rights to their own homeland as well as threatening the very survival of Christians to our holy sites in the biblical heartland."
Pastor Mario Bramnick, president of HILC—a subsidiary of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, which calls itself America's largest international Hispanic evangelical organization—said the resolution strengthens "the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel and it will lead to more world court actions based on international law."
HILC "intends to work with our friends in President [Donald] Trump's administration and in Congress to defund the morally bankrupt United Nations, we also call upon evangelicals and elected officials across the nation to affirm President-elect Trump in rectifying the reckless actions of President [Barack] Obama," Bramnick said.
Additionally, HILC plans to join other pro-Israel Christian groups—including Christians United for Israel and 175 church leaders—to encourage Congress to pass a resolution condemning the U.N. resolution and urging Obama not to return to the Security Council for another resolution targeting Israel.
"Our hope is that by lobbying on Jan. 11, the message will be heard by both the Senate and the president, who will be attending the Paris Summit [on Mideast peace] Jan. 15, that the United States stands by its ally, Israel, and will not stand idly by while the world condemns the only country in the Israel-Palestine conflict that has taken action toward achieving peace," said Robert Nicholson, executive director of the Philos Project, one of the Christian groups planning on attending the Jan. 11 lobbying effort.

More different types of ten dollar bills were printed during the 1900s than in any other decade. And, unlike many previous decades, you can easily put together a nice collection of notes from the 1900s.
The first ten dollar bill is a fan favorite. It is the 1901 $10 legal tender note, aka the bison. These are actually rather common. However, everyone wants one so prices are fairly steep. The bison used for the image was a real animal kept at a New York zoo. Bison ten dollar bills sell from a couple hundred dollars up to thousands. The value is really just based on their condition.
Silver certificates from 1908 are also available. They are from the series of 1908. They look like earlier tombstone notes from 1886 and 1891. All 1908 examples have a blue seal. Most are available for less than $2,000.
Gold certificates were also printed in the 1900s, 1907 to be exact. This is actually the first time a ten dollar gold certificate was printed in The United States. These notes are extremely common. Most trade for around $125. Notes in perfect condition will of course be worth more money.
There were four different types of ten dollar national bank notes being printed during the years 1900 to 1909. Due to complicated regulation, these bills can be dated as far back as 1882. However, most will say series of 1902. The years 1900, 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908, or 1909 can be printed on them. The year printed on them does not affect the value though. We have pictures of the four different types shown below.
These will not be dated later than 1901.
Red seals can have a date between 1902 and 1908.
Blue seals were printed starting in 1908.

Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven has criticised a proposal by the Christian Democrats to reduce the costs of the asylum process, suggesting the idea may play into the hands of the nationalist Sweden Democrats.
On Thursday the party leader of the Christian Democrats Göran Hägglund suggested that refugee benefits should be cut. Among the proposals put forward by Hägglund was to allow new immigrants to earn up 100,000 kronor ($13,000) tax free per annum for their first five years in Sweden.
"It's the wrong way in to believe that refugees who come here are content to sit and earn 5,000 - 6000 kronor a month and that they don't want to work and do what's right for them, it's our job to ensure they come in and work," Löfven told the TT news agency.
When Hägglund made the proposals he stated that he was "tired of the fact that all discussions start and end with the Sweden Democrats" in relation to immigration.
Shortly afterwards the acting party leader of the Sweden Democrats, Mattias Karlsson, called a press conference in which he welcomed the ideas put forward by the Christian Democrats.
Karlsson said it was a "breakthrough" for the nationalist party and backed proposals to cut refugee benefits and to introduce temporary residence permits.
However, Sweden's Prime Minister Löfven has hinted that the bid could backfire for the Christian Democrats.
"It's a risk that it will play into the hands of the Sweden Democrats," he said.
Löfven added; "Residency permits are an issue that the Swedish Migration Board (Migrationsverket) determines."
The Christian Democrats are keen to introduce temporary residence permits to replace the current process of permanent residency.
Sweden's Minister for Justice and Migration Morgan Johansson said that temporary permits could make the integration process worse.
"That you would get it if you got a job would risk bringing the person into a compulsory situation in relation to the employer," he said.
While the Sweden Democrats gave their backing to cutting asylum costs and introducing temporary permits, the party's acting leader Mattias Karlsson blasted plans for a 100,000 kronor tax exemption as "completely unacceptable."
The opposition Alliance parties have not given their backing to the proposals put forward by the Christian Democrats and are working on their own migration policy suggestions in advance of next year's general election.
Swedes are expected to go to the polls again on March 22nd.
