Aqua-Not process inks were developed for today's waterless sheetfed printing technology that lacks the traditional dampening system and fountain solution. Waterless systems are traditional multicolor lithographic presses that utilize either water-cooled rollers or direct image presses using conventional or anilox inking systems for ink distribution.
Aqua-Not inks have excellent trapping characteristics, low, balanced dot gain and set faster allowing for increased ink films, higher solid ink densities and increased gloss and color reproduction.
Superior offers a complete line of products for waterless printing, including Pantone® mixing inks and metallics, gloss and matte overprint varnishes and fluorescent colors, all incorporating the same high-end performance of Superior's Aqua-Not process inks.
Usable over a wider range of temperature and press conditions, Aqua-Not inks can also be run on conventional presses with fountain solution.

Government sets up over 56 MW waste-to-energy capacity in last 3 years
'A total capacity of 56.34 MW has been set up for power generation from waste garbage/material during last three years and current year in the country,' he said
As part of its efforts to promote waste-to-energy, the government has set up a total capacity of 56.34 MW for power generation from waste in last three years, Parliament was informed on Thursday.
So far 199 waste-to-energy projects for generation of biogas/bio CNG/ power based on urban, industrial, agriculture waste and municipal solid waste have been successfully established in the country as on October 31, 2019, Minister of State for Power, New and Renewable Energy R K Singh said in a reply to the Lok Sabha.
"A total capacity of 56.34 MW has been set up for power generation from waste garbage/material during last three years and current year in the country," he said.
The MNRE, he said, is implementing a scheme 'Programme on Energy from Urban, Industrial and Agricultural Wastes/Residues' for promoting setting up waste-to-energy to recover energy in the form of biogas or bio-CNG from urban industrial and agricultural wastes.
The scheme also provides central financial assistance in the form of "back-end subsidy" to developers for setting up such projects, he informed the house.

No one wants to experience the "remodeling horror stories" we've heard from acquaintances or the media. To make the most of your remodeling experience, it is important to understand that good communication with your remodeling contractor is the most reliable way to avoid that problem. Without good communication, headaches and hard feelings are all too common. By contrast, an open line of communication is the key ingredient to a successful and satisfying remodeling experience.
Shopping for a remodeling contractor is fundamentally different from shopping for a new house. When you shop for a new home, you can see the completed work and examine every detail. When you plan a remodeling project, you cannot be sure exactly how your existing house will be changed. That fact underscores the importance of diligently and patiently interviewing potential contractors and checking references before making your selection. You want to start your project with a level of comfort and confidence in the remodeling contractor who will be your partner in the process.
A contractor's way of presenting information during an initial phone call or interview is often an indication of how he or she will communicate during your project. A remodeler or staff member should seek your input and questions and provide understandable and satisfactory answers. Follow-up gestures, such as a thank you note or phone call, can be signs of quality communication.
Before and during your remodel you will have many decisions to make. Be sure you are comfortable with the remodeler's process for maintaining effective communication. Who is your contact person on the remodeler's staff? Many remodelers or their on-site superintendents (often call "leads") use a scheduled review, or "walk-through," of the remodeled section of your house at specified critical stages of construction. These walk-throughs can take place during structural framing, electrical and plumbing rough-in, or after the interior walls have been dry walled. As you select a remodeling contractor, ask about additional opportunities to communicate, such as ad-hoc meetings, phone calls or emails.
After you select your remodeler, you will find that a detailed scope of work — outlining the construction process along with an agreed timeline or schedule — provides a guide for your questions and expectations. The scope of work and schedule will also establish deadlines for key decisions on your part. Avoid hasty, last-minute choices and contribute to the smooth progress of the project by making sure decision dates and deadlines are clear.
Before construction begins, review with your remodeler the exact process for requesting, confirming and executing changes, or "change orders," during your project. It is always necessary to make a change or two. A well-established routine will avoid serious misunderstandings. Your selected remodeler should also provide you with detailed information about warranty and service call procedures after the project is completed.
Successful remodelers got that way by communicating effectively with their homeowner clients throughout the entire process of sales, construction and warranty service. Respect your contractor's proven strategies and procedures, but also take the opportunity to express your needs within that framework. Your home and circumstances are unique. Once you and your remodeler have agreed upon communication methods that are comfortable for you, you can rely on the process and look forward to successful completion of your remodeled home.

Earlier this week, Seattle Mayor Ed Murray announced he was pulling the plug on a proposed property tax levy that would raise $275 million to alleviate Seattle's homelessness problem. He ditched the levy in favor of a King County sales tax increase of 0.1 percent that would raise $68 million per year for homeless services if the ballot measure passes in 2018.
Let me make a point here because I think there's been a little bit of confusion. I asked that experts come in after I got elected … those experts pointed out that we needed to do some things different in our delivery system [for homeless services]. We're doing that. We're rebidding all $50 million-worth of contracts. The first time they've been rebid in 10 years. We used Bloomberg Philanthropies and What Works Cities to model the best practices for contracting. So reforms are underway but an opportunity came out … now we have an opportunity to take a tax measure to the ballot, to actually raise more money than we would've raised in Seattle and again to focus it not just on Seattle.
The biggest problem — and we've talked about this. I've talked about it with other mayors, this idea that it's Seattle's problem or Portland's problem or New York's problem — ignores the fact that our suburban cities in King County and our suburban cities throughout Washington state also have a homeless problem. So the chance to partner with the county, which controls many of the services related to homelessness was an opportunity that I thought we shouldn't pass up.
Murray had tapped Nick Hanauer — an earlier investor in Amazon, an activist, and a fixture in the Seattle tech community — to draft the property tax levy. Hanauer will continue to work with the mayor on the sales tax initiative.
"I must admit I am a little sad to not be moving forward with our city initiative, but we will be no less committed to ensuring that the county plan is as big, as effective and as accountable as it needs to be and this region deserves," Hanauertold said at a press conference.
Murray announced plans to raise additional funds to fight homelessness during his State of the City address in February. He called on Seattle residents and businesses to help address the problem, arguing that the city could not count on federal dollars because President Donald Trump has threatened to withhold funding from cities that don't help with his immigration crackdown.
Murray is suing the Trump administration over that very threat, claiming it is illegal to coerce local jurisdictions by withholding funds. The city also claims it is illegal for the federal government to tell cities how to use their police forces.

Indian Economy Part 4 – The Goals of five year plan
Post category:Economics
Indian Economy – 1950 – 1990
With independent our leaders were concerned for a system which would promote the welfare of all rather than a few.
Socialism appealed to Jawaharlal Nehru the most, he was not in favour of the kind of socialism established in the former Soviet Union
Where all the means of production, i.e., all the factories and farms in the country, were owned by the government. There was no private property.
It is not possible in a democracy like India for the government to change the ownership pattern of land and other properties of its citizens in the way that it was done in the former Soviet Union.
Nehru, and many other leaders and thinkers of the newly independent India, sought an alternative to the extreme versions of capitalism and socialism.
Sympathising with the socialist outlook, they found the answer in an economic system which, in their view, combined the best features of socialism without its drawbacks.
In this view, India would be a 'socialist' society with a strong public sector but also with private property and democracy.
The government would 'plan' economy with the private sector being encouraged to be part of the plan effort.
The 'Industrial Policy Resolution' of 1948 and the Directive Principles of the Indian Constitution reflected this outlook.
In 1950, the Planning Commission was set up with the Prime Minister as its Chairperson. The era of five year plans had begun.
THE GOALS OF FIVE YEAR PLANS
The goals of the five year plans are: growth, modernisation, self-reliance and equity.
This does not mean that all the plans have given equal importance to all these goals
It refers to increase in the country's capacity to produce the output of goods and services within the country.
It implies either a larger stock of productive capital, or a larger size of supporting services like transport and banking, or an increase in the efficiency of productive capital and services.
A good indicator of economic growth, in the language of economics, is steady increase in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The GDP is the market value of all the goods and services produced in the country during a year.
The GDP of a country is derived from the different sectors of the economy namely the agricultural sector, the industrial sector and the service sector.
The contribution made by each of these sectors makes up the structural composition of the economy.
To increase the production of goods and services the producers have to adopt new technology.
Modernisation does not refer only to the use of new technology but also to changes in social outlook
A modern society makes use of the talents of women in the work place — in banks, factories, schools etc. — and such a society will be more civilised and prosperous.
A nation can promote economic growth and modernisation by using its own resources or by using resources imported from other nations.
The first seven five year plans gave importance to self-reliance
This policy was considered a necessity in order to reduce our dependence on foreign countries, especially for food.
It was feared that dependence on imported food supplies, foreign technology and foreign capital may make India's sovereignty vulnerable to foreign interference in our policies.
A country can have high growth; the most modern technology developed in the country itself, and also has most of its people living in poverty.
It is important to ensure that the benefits of economic prosperity reach the poor sections as well instead of being enjoyed only by the rich.
In addition to growth, modernisation and self-reliance, equity is also important
The first seven five year plans, covering the period 1950-1990, attempted to attain these four goals.

How to Master 9 Signs You Need Help With willow bend trading post tom oar in 6 Simple Steps
By Server August 23, 2022 98 views
This article is all about the willow bend trading post to see what other trade boards have to offer.
The willow bend was a trading post built in 1806, but the trading post was never popular. I'm not sure why. Maybe it was because the trading post was in a location where the sun would rise and set each day, so it was much less predictable. Maybe it was because there was no market for the goods being traded, so there were few customers willing to pay for the goods.
If the willow bend trading post had been around in 1806, there is no doubt it would have been a popular place since it was a well-known location. It is still a popular place, which is surprising considering the lack of trade in the area. The willow bend trading post was located in the south side of the town of Willow Bend in the late 1800s. It was built by a group of merchants and traders.
A major trade center in the area was the town of Willow Bend. The city of Willow Bend had a population of around 14,000 in 1806, which is about half what it is now. It was one of the biggest cities in the state at the time, and had a railroad station, a post office, and a school. One of its citizens at the time was a wealthy landowner named John S. B.
A landowner who didn't live to see the town his home, John S. B. died in 1853 at only 47. He left his estate to his son, George J. B. S. The elder B. S. was an avid hunter, and his son was well on his way to becoming one as well. In the summer of 1869, the younger B. S. decided to take up the chase and build a new hunting camp.
The elder B. S. was a hunter, and in the summer of 1869, he decided to take up the chase and build a new hunting camp named Willow Bend. I think that's what he chose to call it, because it was a bend in the B. S. road. The elder's son, George J. B. S. also decided to build a new hunting camp, and so the elder B. S. became the owner of Willow Bend.
Willow Bend is an old camp that overlooks the B. S. road, and as the elder B. S. was a hunter, he decided to take the huntin' up to a whole new level. He built a big fence around the camp and added a new game farm, which you can see in the video below. The younger B. S. built a new wooden shed, and some sheds around the camp. He also added a chicken coop and a stable.
I like George, but I really, really hate his wife. She is like her father, only shorter and more fragile. Also, she is the one who makes the chickens walk to the chicken run, and then she makes the chickens walk back. I guess the chickens and she are best friends, because that's how chickens are supposed to behave, but that's a really long story about chickens and chickens and chickens and chickens.
There's no doubt that George has been a great help around the camp, and he's been nice enough to share some of his knowledge with us. But it's not like he's been the sort of person who just asks, "Hey, wanna hang out sometime?" He has been a great help, but he's also been a bit of a dick.
Like I said above, it's not like he's been the sort of person who just asks, Hey, wanna hang out sometime He has been a great help, but hes also been a bit of a dick. Theres a few things about George that are not exactly right, so you'll be seeing a lot more of him.

Tags:30, AIDS, announcement, florida, friendly, HIV, HIV/AIDS, run
Ft. Lauderdale (AP) – The health insurance company Cigna has agreed to change its prescription drug policy to ensure that Florida consumers with HIV and AIDS can access their medications, Florida insurance officials said.
The Nov. 7 decision comes months after two national health organizations filed a complaint with the federal government alleging that Cigna and three other insurance companies are violating the Affordable Care Act by structuring their Florida insurance plans in a way that discourage consumers with HIV and AIDS from choosing those plans.
The complaint from the National Health Law Program and The AIDS Institute alleged Cigna and three other insurance companies are placing HIV and AIDS medications in the highest tier of their drug formulary, requiring prior authorizations to fill prescriptions, and implementing unnecessary and discriminatory step protocols. They're also requiring HIV and AIDS patients to pay a percentage, often up to 40 or 50 percent of their drugs instead of a flat co-pay, which could run into the thousands of dollars.
Under the agreement, Cigna said generic drugs currently included in the higher cost specialty tiers will be transferred to a lower cost tier. The insurer is also capping customers' costs on the drugs Atripla, Complera, Stribild, and Fuzeon to $200 per month. Cigna is also removing the 30-day supply limit per prescription for HIV drugs, the company said in a statement.
"People living with HIV/AIDS have been experiencing illegal barriers to accessing insurance, including by Cigna," Carl Schmid, deputy executive director of The AIDS Institute, said in an email. "This consent order is a step in the right direction to addressing these barriers."
State insurance officials did not comment on the allegations with the three other insurers.
"I am committed to making sure insurers are not acting in a manner that is discriminatory and inconsistent with Florida law and today's announcement shows Cigna is committed to those principles as well," Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin M. McCarty said in a statement.
The Affordable Care Act forbids insurers from discriminating against those with pre-existing conditions, but health advocates warn some insurers are finding ways around that by structuring their plans in a way that discourages consumers with chronic conditions from choosing them.
Health advocates say high costs cause patients to skip doses or go off their medications altogether, causing serious health complications.

Tomorrow is Friday, the day I most look forward to. I'm not feeling well and have been playing the 'should I go home sick?' game for the last few days. Needless to say, I have done my eight to four-thirty sentence and am welcoming the upcoming two day reprieve.
At what point in our mundane office worker lives did life begin revolving around the weekend. It's only two days! I wake up early Monday morning groaning with a bit of extra coffee in my cup,dragging my lifeless self in. I force a smile on my face as my coworkers smile friendly and ask how my weekend was. But I haven't had my pot of coffee and my brain is not functioning. Of course, my social skills have been going down the tube since they put me in the glass box by myself.
Tuesday comes and I am doing a little better. I remember a teacher in high school telling our class the Tuesday is the most productive day of the week. But I'm still dragging thinking of the four whole work days before the weekend.
Wednesday. The midpoint of the week. I'm still in depressed, staring at my green wall, wondering what the outside world looks like. I wish I at least had a window.
Thursday is here. Tomorrow is Friday. I can get my work done, try to ignore the hideous green wall, and wonder what I should do on Saturday. I think I just want to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine.
Friday. Heavenly Friday. I count the minutes, with hope in every step. It's only a matter of hours, then minutes and finally I am smiling as I wish everyone a happy weekend. It's better than a pot of coffee!

1981 Honda CBX 1000 Super Sport. Owner: Don Carver. Story and Photos by: Clement Salvadori
This story was originally published in the June 2020 issue of Rider Magazine.
This was a minor marvel of motorcycling when the original version was unveiled in 1978 as a 1979 model, more than 40 years ago. Six cylinders, six carburetors, 24 valves, two overhead camshafts and more than 100 crankshaft horsepower—the CBX Super Sport was going to dominate the sport bike scene. Unfortunately, it did not. For the first two years it was stripped down, then transformed into a sport tourer for its last two. The focus of this little write-up is on its touring pretensions.
Begin at the beginning, which was in October of 1977, when Honda discreetly snuck some test bikes into California and had a few American journalists come and try them out. Honda had introduced the original UJM back in the fall of 1968, the 1969 CB750, with four cylinders, eight valves, overhead camshaft and 67 horsepower, weighing some 500 pounds. Now it had something entirely new insofar as the engine was concerned, far more powerful and far heavier—600 pounds. And the competition was ferocious from the other three Japanese competitors, with the Kawasaki KZ1000, Suzuki GS1000 and Yamaha XS1100. These were all four-cylinder bikes, and Honda presumed the addition of two cylinders would bring in the buyers. The company had also experimented with a 1,000cc four-banger, which put out only five horses less than the six, but decided to go with the six.
The first CBX Super Sport models did not appear on the showroom floors until mid-1978, and small changes were made over the next two years, both in engine tuning and chassis. A lean spot in the carburetion was cured, bigger oil cooler, air-adjustable front fork, better shock absorbers, etc.
Then Germany announced that only motorcycles with less than 100 crankshaft horsepower could be imported, which notion might spread to
the entire European Union. More mods were made, and for 1980 the CBX's crankshaft herd was reduced to 98 ponies, pretty much putting the bike on a power par with the other bikes. The 1980 CBX cost $4,200, Kawasaki's Z1R, $3,700, Suzuki's GS1100E, $3,700, and Yamaha's XS1100G, $3,700. That 500 bucks would buy a lot of gas. Sales were weak. And a recession was on the horizon.
What did Honda do? It decided to revamp the CBX into a sport-touring machine. Curious that Honda never redesignated the bike, to focus on the touring aspect rather than the Super Sport—which was still writ large on the fairing. Engine changes were minimal; essentially two new camshafts to alter the power curve, giving a little more mid-range, less top end. And the profiles were redesigned in order to reduce tappet noise, no small matter when the noise is inside the fairing.
The fairing was originally a half fairing, with good aerodynamics except for some buffeting of a tall rider's head. The leg protectors had been added on—rather crudely and still leaving the rider's legs open to a lot of wind; since the bike could easily hit two miles a minute, that was a real possibility. Rather small removable panniers were affixed to each side, limited to 20 pounds each. Honda was worried about handling at high speed and kept the width of the bike at the luggage quite narrow.
Which meant the two shocks on the old CBX were gone and a new Pro-Link single shock arrangement had been installed. Granted, the linkage was particular to the CBX, and not like the motocross version, but it was a rising-rate suspension system. The shock was set up to work with air pressure, but there was also a coil spring—just in case the shock sprang a leak. A three-position knob could adjust rebound settings.
The front end was also drastically changed, with the fork tubes enlarged from 35mm to 39mm—which meant enlarging the steering head. The air-adjustable fork came with a little pump, and a crossover balance tube made adjustments even easier. It also increased the rake from 27.5 to 29.5 degrees, but kept the trail at 4.7 inches, enhancing straight-line stability. And wheel width, both front and back, was slightly increased to allow for larger tires.
The frame was a three-tube backbone truss, with the engine being a stressed member. The six cylinders were fed through six 28mm Keihin CV carburetors and fuel economy was usually less than 40 mpg, and could go under 30 on a rambunctious ride. Fortunately, the gas tank held 5.8 gallons, with a vacuum-operated petcock having a reserve position for the last 0.8-gallon. Exhaust was a six-into-two arrangement, with a crossover pipe in front of the rear wheel equalizing pressure.
Of major note were the new front brakes, which were almost an inch larger in diameter than the previous model's, and were radially vented—which means that each stainless alloy disc was really two discs with lots of ventilation in between. The very competent calipers used two pistons to push the long, narrow pads against the rotor. The rear brake was the standard single disc, and also benefited from the twin-piston caliper.
But since this was now a sport-touring machine, at a pricey $5,600, what was Honda selling as a pure sportbike? For 1981 and 1982 the company brought in the excellent CB900F, originally aimed at the European market, powered by an air-cooled, in-line DOHC 16-valve 901cc four with some 90 horses, costing $3,350. After a mere two years the CB900F became the bored-out 1,062cc CB1100F—at a competitive price of $3,700. With more than 95 rear wheel ponies and well more than 100 at the crank, Honda was not looking at the German market with this model, just out-horsing the competition.
And the CBX? Vanished. And leftovers were quickly discounted.

I loved my '82 CB/X. It was a terrific bike. Still the best sounding motorcycle engine I've ever heard. Unfortunately, life intervened and the CB/X got sold. It was the first bike that I loved unconditionally. Riding it fast, riding it slow, or just looking at it for hours. It was a beautiful bike.
It wasn't perfect, especially in retrospect. The brakes were sad, with fade setting in quite quickly. First could have been shorter, and fifth could have been taller. Mine had a Corbin saddle and a Rifle windshield, so that fixed two of the common complaints about the bike.
My first two days riding the bike were 400+ miles, and 987 miles. It was a terrific long-range, high-speed traveler. I still miss it.

It was a real tour de force. I had an '81 model nearly identical to the one pictured. It was, in my opinion, one of the most handsome motorcycles ever produced by any manufacturer. That bullet-train fairing was so sexy. Honda keep that fairing around as an option for both the V-45 and V-65 Sabre series. But it never looked as good as it did on the '81-82 CBX. And in either SuperSport or sport tourer version it was that jewel of an engine that made it pop!
If Honda wants to get serious about a "heritage" model, the CBX is the platform from their past with which to build upon. Resurrect the famed six cylinder (w/fuel injection?) Upgrade the suspension (GL type fork?) and tweak the handling & braking. Add modern features such as abs & engine mapping. Concurrently offer both an SS and sport tourer version.
And I think Honda would have a World Beater! ~ General T

As much as I love the CBX, & would love to see it re-introduced, this is 2020, & real-world realities must be taken into account. With ever more stringent air pollution standards upon us, air cooled engines become more, & more difficult to pass. Honda has already tried the retro bike with the CB1100 and although I dearly love the look, my CB900f SS still looks better. So by the time Honda water cools, fuel injects,suspension brake & saddle upgrades/updates the CBX, guess what-you have a copy of the BMW 1600 six. Lets just say"Thank you Honda, for a truly, mind rushing, gear stirring, wonderful example of what great minds can do"….and for all the other great bikes you have brought to fruition over the years.

I bought my 1981 CBX new in 1982 for $5,600. It was incredibly beautiful, and hi-tech at the time.
I rode it on a group ride to the Miracle Mile flat track race (William's Grove, PA) in 1982 or 1983.
It was dull riding with the pack, so after the race, I headed back to Maryland on my own so I could air the CBX out.
Got a ticket for 125 MPH just as I crossed the MD line
I took it to court, not that I wasn't guilty, and the judge looked over the top of his glasses and asked me, "Mr. Kxxxx, were you trying to commit suicide?" I told him I was just trying to see what it would do. He let me off with a $600 ticket, which was a ton at the time, but better than losing your license.

To be noted – it was not Germany that limited bikes to 100hp, but France.
Germany did create a bracket under 100hp which cost less to insure, but never prohibited imports, sales or mods that would restrict engine power.

It was a marvelous super bike

J R R Tolkein's Hobbit Home For Sale
If you're a Tolkein fan and have £4.5M to spare, you can now buy a piece of literary history.
The house in which Tolkein lived and in which he is believed to have written The Hobbit and worked on The Lord of the Rings is up for sale.
It's a six bedroom brick house built in 1924 in a quiet suburb of Oxford. The estate agents describe it as "largely unaltered" which means you'd be moving into a property substantially as it was when it was occupied by J. J R. Tolkein and his family.
This house was quite a step up from their previous home in a four bedroom terraced house in Warwickshire. Incidentally that house, built in 1906, went on sale for £285,000 in June 2017.
J R R Tolkein's home: What's On Offer
A rather pleasant house it would seem. it's quite a spacious house of almost 4,000 sq feet in one of the most desirable suburbs of Oxford. Number 20 Northmoor Road comes with six bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and a walk-in pantry.
The agents describe the rooms as "Well-proprtioned and filled with natural light, enhanced by the high ceilings and large windows."
But it's the association with Tolkein that really makes the house special. The author lived next door at number 20 between 1926 and 1930. But in 1930 he and his wife Edith and at least three of their four children moved into the larger property at number 22.
The first two books in Lord Of The Rings are believed to have been written in this house. Tolkein apparently used the drawing room as his study, typing his manuscripts using only two fingers on an old manual typewriter.
I think this is how the drawing room looks today.
The house doesn't have any particular architectural features but was nevertheless awarded Grade II listed status in 2004. simply on the basis of the association with Tolkein. A blue plaque on an outside wall commemorates the link.
In 1945, the family left Northmoor Road, two years before Tolkein left Pembroke College where he had been a Fellow and Professor of Anglo-Saxon. In 1945 he moved to Merton College, Oxford, becoming the Merton Professor of English Language and Literature.
The identity of the new owner of 20 Northmoor Road isn't known but in 2004 it changed hands for more than £1.5m. Was the new owner just lucky and got in before the Grade 2 classification was announced which would have put the price up?
Nomadic Existence
Where did the Tolkein's go after Northmoor? They moved around the Oxford area for a number of years, initially in the city centre near to the colleges. Perhaps this coincided with Tolkein's new post as Professor of English Language and Literature at Merton College. Perhaps the new residences were prompted by a desire to be nearer to the college or maybe the Tolkeins were looking for a smaller house perhaps because the children had grown up and moved away?
In 1949 they were living at 3 Manor Road. in central Oxford but in about May 1950 they moved 99 Holywell Street, a house built in the early seventeenth century. Both of these were close to the colleges.
99 Holywell Street., Oxford J R R Tolkein lived here in the 1950s
They were on he move again in 1953, this time to a house outside the city in the suburb of Headington. While living at number 76 Sandfield Road, Headington, Tolkein published three books in the Lord of the Ring cycle :The Fellowship of the Ring (1954); The Two Towers (1954) and The Return of the King (1955).
Sandfield Road, occupied by J R R Tolkein from 1953-1968. Tolkien worked in the garage on the left of this photograph,
The publication of these books brought literary fame and increased public interest in Tolkien. The attention of fans became so intense that the couple removed their phone number from the public directory. It also drove them out of Oxford – Tolkein and his wife moved to Bournemouth in search of a quieter life in 1968.
Tolkein's final residence was back in Oxford. Edith his wife died in 1971 and Tolkein was offered accommodation in Merton College, Oxford, close to the High Street. It was here he died in September 1973.

#12Days of Christmas book game: day 5
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Day 5 of the 12 Days of Christmas game and giveaway.
A bit later than planned today sorry but at last we get a respite from the birds. Only a temporary one unfortunately because tomorrow we are back with them so lets enjoy the break when we can. Today we need to find book titles, cover images, author names etc that match the fifth line of the song The Twelve Days of Christmas. So we need book titles or author names or cover images reflecting the idea of gold, rings or five. Should be easy??
Booker Talk Titles for Day
This was rather easy today…..
Goldfinger by Ian Fleming: this wasn't too hard to think of because I was sorting out some boxes last week and found my husband's collection of Fleming's James Bond series that he has kept since about the 1970s. It's seventh novel in the series and was published in 1959. Goldfinger. I admit to never having read anything by Fleming nor have I seen the recent film versions.
Lord of the Rings by J. R. R Tolkein Another novel I have never read despite its status as one of the best-selling novels of all time. It began as a sequel to Tolkien's 1937 fantasy novel The Hobbit, but eventually developed into a much larger work written in stages between 1937 and 1949, . I did try The Hobbit because it was talked about so much in the sixth form and then university but it did nothing for me. It's this experience that made me realise I don't take too well to novels with talking animals.
Ring of Bright Water by Gavin Maxwell. I do remember enjoying this autobiographical story of how Maxwell, a naturalist, brought an otter back from his travels in Iraq and raised it at his home in Scotland. Eventually it was discovered to be a previously unknown sub species – subsequently named in honour of Maxwell.
Now over to you – here's How to Play:
Come up with book titles or book images or anything book related (could be the name of a location mentioned in the book or a character) that matches with gold rings Let's see how creative you can be. I'm looking ideally for 3 titles/images etc . You can mix and match your nominations.
Put your titles into the comments field of that day's post. Don't just give me the name since you could easily get that from a Google search – tell us something about the book itself. Why did you choose these titles – are they from your TBR or ones you've seen mentioned on a blog. Please try not to just use lists from Goodreads etc.
Feel free to blog about this on your own site or via Twitter using the #12days hashtag
There's an incentive to play along with this which is a giveaway of a book up to the value of $20 USD from the Book Depository
To participate, your list of books must be in the comments field by 10pm GMT/5pm Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday Dec 6.
Day by Day Prompts
Day 1: Partridge in a Pear Tree
Day 2: Turtle Doves
Day 3: French Hens
Day 4: Calling Birds
Day 5: Gold Rings
Day 6: Geese a-Laying
Day 7: Swans a-Swimming
Day 8: Maids a-Milking
Day 9: Ladies Dancing
Day 10: Lords a-Leaping
Day 11: Pipers Piping
Day 12: Drummers Drumming
1.Each day a post will go live on booker talk.com matched to the task for that day. All you to do is post a comment with your list of books on the page
2. Each day try to come up with 3 titles. No need to think of 11 books featuring pipers or eight with maids in them. This is meant to be fun not mission impossible…..
3. Participants are encouraged to be creative with the names of titles matching each day. But the books do need to be in existence – no scope here for making up your own titles.
4. The number of contributions per person will be totalled and the one with the highest number will win the prize. So if you post three titles for day 6 and 5 on day 11, that gives a total of 8 points.
5. Contributions should be entered on the page within the time limit stated each day – typically I will give 48 hours between the time I post the day's challenge and when comments will be closed.
6. You don't need to play every day in order to be entered for the prize. Some days will be easier than others – and anyway you have all that shopping and packing still to do
7. There is only one prize – available internationally. The Prize winner will be announced on the blog around about the 15th of December.
6. The prize is that you get to choose a book up to the value of $20 USD from the Book Depository that I will arrange to ship to you. This will probably not arrive until next year given the last postage dates for international mail.

If you can think of anymore suggestions please comment!
...These streets will make you feel brand new, these lights will inspire you. Let's hear it for New York.


When you are being carried along the road by nothing more than a cushion of pressured air, you want to be sure that air pressure is pretty much perfect. Too little air and your ride will be much tougher and you'll be slogging along through treacle, too high and you'll be bumped around uncomfortably, feeling every single pit in the road and each and every rock and stone.
While a mini hand pump will get you home following a roadside emergency puncture repair, you'll be needing a track pump to inflate your inner tubes to the pressure level needed. You should really be checking your tyre pressure before every ride – no more giving the tyre a quick squeeze and saying, "feels about right".
So let's get right into it and take a look at some of our favourite track pumps right now. If you want to read a bit more about what elements you should be looking out for in track pump you can check these out at the bottom of the page.
Robust and sturdy pump with a dual valve head and good, visible pressure gauge – all for around £30.
This pump has a really solid and sturdy feel to it. It features a dual valve head, meaning that you don't have to fiddle about switching nozzles if you are pumping up tyres with Presta or Schrader valves. The hose length is more than sufficient and the gauge is simple to read. At around £30 the price is very reasonable too.
Padded handle coverings are kind to hands, mid-mounted 2-inch pressure gauge for easy readability.
This pump from Beto features a tripod stand – because three legs are better than two – meaning it is extra stable. The handle is covered in a soft cushioning ensuring it's kind to your hands and it can handle both Presta and Schrader valves.
The only negative we found was that the clip to lock the valve head in place was very stiff and affixing it to the valve was a bit of a challenge initially. But at under £20 (at the time of reviewing), you can't really complain.
A bit more expensive than some of the other pumps we've featured, but with cast iron base and wooden handle it's really solid and will last a long time.
This pump is a bit more expensive than those featured thus far at around £60. But for your money you get a natural wood handle which is really comfortable to pump with, a cast iron base with folding feet and a steel barrel for easier pumping. This is a really heavy duty bit of kit.
This pump can also reach higher pressures up to 230 psi – which is more than you will ever need.
Good, solid all-round pump with a couple of nice features such as the clever auto-adjusting valve. Let down a little by a hard to read pressure dial.
This floor pump from Airace has a couple of really nice features that we found helpful in testing. The first is the valve which automatically detects whether you are connecting to Presta or Schrader valves – so no fiddling with different fittings here, just attach without a second thought.
The second is that the weight of the pump is concentrated toward the ground. It's a fairly simple distinction but does seemingly make a difference, as the unit feels very steady indeed. The only negative we found on this pump is the pressure gauge which was a little tricky to read. If your eyesight isn't great (which mine isn't) you may find yourself bending down every couple of seconds to check where the needle is up to.
Nice weighting means the pump is very sturdy.
Quality construction from a trusted brand, with an extra-long hose and large pressure gauge for increased visibility. Valve issues reported by some users after use over an extended period of time.
Lezyne are a well-known brand in the track pump space and this is a quality bit of kit. The handle is varnished wood which looks great and feels very comfortable under-hand and the feet, barrel and piston are all made from steel so you know they are going to last a good while.
However the main selling points on this pump are the extra long hose (130cm if you are measuring) and the oversize pressure dial which is really simple to read without bending down.
Although we didn't experience any issues personally, we saw a couple of complaints from users that the valve popped after a year or so of use. I wouldn't have thought that this would be a design defect and rather an occurrence that could happen on any floor pump, but it needed mentioning.

Project Siting & Approvals


Now that I have a sidecar on my big V-Twin, I have to do most maintenance and repairs myself. The latest job was replacing the standard Vance & Hines Big Shots Long baffles with V&H Quiet Baffles© P/N 21869.
First thing to do is remove the end caps by removing the hex head screws located on the interior side of the heat shields. Once the screw is remove, the end cap simply pulls out. Mine were a little difficult to get out but with the help of a flat, rubber jar opener I was able to pull them off without damage.
The end of the heat shields surround the pipe so you have to twist the shield away from the engine and then slide it back approximately one foot before removing it. I found it easier to do once I removed the rider and passenger floorboards. Without a sidecar, you may not need to do so.
Next, I removed the baffles by first removing the retaining screw on the inside of the pipes.
I then used a pair of long, needle nose pliers to grab a fin on the baffle and pulled it out of the pipe. Mine were stuck so I used a rubber mallet to whack the pipe a few times and with a little twist, the baffle slipped right out.
Before installing the new baffles, I wound some thin wire around the end of fiberglass cloth to prevent it from bunching. Then I installed the baffle making sure to line up the holes in the baffle and pipe and replaced the retaining screws.
I re-installed the heat shields and end caps…and that was it! When I started it, I felt a little more back pressure, so I took it by the shop the next morning. My bike didn't need a re-tune, but be sure to have that checked out when you change your baffles.
The Quiet Baffles deepened the tone of my exhaust and reduced the volume at idle. But they did not significantly reduce the volume once I rolled on the throttle.


Evolution Park is a 40,000 sq ft office complex servicing medical, knowledge, science & technology businesses in Blackburn. The fully serviced office complex is owned by the UK's largest regeneration company, St Modwen. Clients situated at Evolution Park include Lancashire Care Foundation Trust, Balfour Beatty Workplace, Sovereign Beverage Company, Techfloor Services and Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council.
Evolution Park came to us to digitise their car parking system. With over 600 people parking from 27 businesses at Evolution Park, the existing paper based system was outdated and unsustainable. The challenge was to create a system where all staff in client businesses could register their details with ease. This would then store the information in a central location to allow the team of receptionists at Evolution Park to access the data from multiple locations. The aim was to create a system to improve efficiencies within the business by reducing time spent managing the car park.
Our strategy for Evolution Park was to integrate technologies into a web based platform to improve the process for both clients and staff. We started the project by identifying the needs of the key user groups to establish the best approach for the system redesign.
To allow clients to register their details onto the system easily we created a password protected website which allowed people to submit their details. This data then fed automatically into a database where the information could be easily accessed by the staff at Evolution Park. A vital aspect of the system design was for staff and clients to access the platforms on multiple devices. This meant the data was up to date when both staff and clients accessed the system. This is one of the key reasons why we chose a web based platform for the solution.
The new automated system resulted in savings for Evolution Park of around 5 days per month in staff time, which was previously spent managing the old system. This efficiency equates to a reduction of 60 days per year, or 2 months per year which is a significant cost saving in staff time. This has allowed Evolution Park to focus on more productive activities throughout the business.
Working with Contrado Digital has been a real pleasure. They understood our requirements and offered a bespoke solution to meet our specific needs. The transition from the old system to the new system was simple and straight forward with their help. They went out of their way to integrate the new system throughout Evolution Park so our staff could start using the system with ease. The time savings from using the new system has enabled us to focus on other activities to support our clients at Evolution Park.

Russia/
Russia is the largest country in the world, its area being 17 125.2 thousand square km. This is 11.5% of the world's territory. The state is located in Eastern Europe and Northern Asia.
Poitical System: Federal Republic
Head of State: President (Vladimir Putin)
Head of Government: Prime Minister (Dmitri Medvedev)
Legislature: Bicameral Parliament (State Duma and Federation Council)
Capital: Moscow
Population:144 million people
Official language: Russian
Monetary Unit: Ruble
Russia is a secular state, where no religion can be established as dominant, state or compulsory. The freedom of conscience and religion is guaranteed by the Constitution. All citizens are granted the right to profess any religion and the right to be an atheist. Despite that there are many believers in Russia.
The ancestors of many of today's Russians adopted Orthodox Christianity in the 10th century. According the polls, about 70% of respondents consider themselves Russian Orthodox. Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk was elected Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus in 2009. Russian Orthodoxy differs to an extend from other branches of Christianity in terms of doctrine, rituals and calendar: for instance, Christmas is celebrated on January, 7, not December, 25; music during a service is performed by a choir without any instrumental accompaniment.
Islam in Russia
Russia's second most popular religion is Islam. It's thought the country is home to around 14 to 20 million Muslims, making up 10 to 16 per cent of Russia's population. Almost all Russian Muslims are Sunnis but there are small pockets of Shiites in the Caucasus. Russia's Muslims mainly live in the Volga Region and the North Caucasus, although Moscow and St. Petersburg also have thriving local communities.
The largest Islamic centres are Tatarstan and Bashkortostan. The republic of Tatarstan on the Volga River has as many as 1150 mosques. Its capital Kazan, an ancient Tatar stronghold, boasts the largest mosque in Russia and, reputedly, in Europe – the Qolsharif Mosque. Built in the 16th century, it was destroyed in 1552 during a military campaign. Now restored and looking decisively modern, it's the gem of the city's architectural landscape.
Buddhism made its way to Russia in the late 16th century, when Russian explorers travelled to and settled in Siberia and the Far East. Russia's key Buddhist centre is Kalmykia. Vast steppe land on the north-western shores of the Caspian Sea, the republic of Kalmykia is the only place in Europe where Buddhism is the major religion. Buddhist teaching is also widespread in Tuva and Buryatia. Located at the midpoint of Asia, the republic of Tuva is famous for its bewitching throat singers. The Buryat Republic, along the eastern shore of Lake Baikal has a strong tradition of Tibetan Buddhist medical practices.
The early history of Russia as a unified state dates back to 882. The new empire, known as Kievan Rus', flourished for the next three hundred years, its cities being important trade hubs.
By 989, Vladimir I was ruler of a kingdom that extended to as far south as the Black Sea, the Caucasus Mountains, and the lower reaches of the Volga River. Vladimir is honored for establishing Orthodox Christianity in the country.
In 1147 Yuri Dolgorukiy, one of the regional princes, held a feast at his hunting lodge atop a hill overlooking the confluence of the Moskva and Neglina Rivers. A chronicler recorded the party, thus providing us with the earliest mention of Moscow, the small settlement that would soon become the pre-eminent city in Russia.
Kievan Rus' struggled on into the 13th century, but was decisively destroyed by the arrival of a new invader--the Mongols. Invasions of Russia were attempted during this period from the west as well, first by the Swedes (1240) and then by the Livonian Brothers of the Sword (1242), a regional branch of the fearsome Teutonic Knights. In the best news of the era for Russia, both were decisively defeated by the great warrior Alexander Nevsky, a prince of Novgorod who earned his surname from his victory over the Swedes on the Neva River.
For the next century or so, Moscow has gained more influence. As a sign of the city's importance, the patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church was transferred to the city, making it the spiritual capital of Russia. In 1547 Ivan IV adopted the title of tsar and started opening vast new areas for Russia, including Kazan, Astrakhan and Siberia.
In 1604 a pretender, claiming to be Dmitri, a son of Ivan IV invaded Russia. Ushering in the so-called "Time of Troubles". For the next eight years both the first and a second false Dmitri laid claims to the throne, both supported by invading Polish armies. Finally, in 1613, the Poles were ousted from Moscow. The decisive battle took place on 4 November, 1612, so this date is celebrated as the National Unity Day in Russia.
In 1613 Michael Romanov unanimously elected as Tsar. The Romanov dynasty was to rule Russia for the next 304 years. Peter the Great was an outstanding ruler of the Romanov dynasty. He spent about two years in Europe, not only meeting monarchs and conducting diplomacy but also travelling incognito and even working as a ship's carpenter in Holland. He amassed a considerable body of knowledge on industrial techniques and state administration, and became determined to modernize the Russian. Having returned to Moscow, he reformed economic structure, established technical schools, simplified the alphabet, changed the calendar, changed his title from Tsar to Emperor, and introduced a hundred other novelties. In 1703 he transferred the capital from Moscow to a new city to be built from scratch on the Gulf of Finland. The city, named St.Petersburg, has become one of the most beautiful places in the world.
One of his successors, Catherine the Great, continued Peter the Great's reforms. Russia's influence in global affairs, as well as its territory in Eastern and Central Europe, were increased and expanded. Catherine was also an enthusiastic patron of the arts. She built and founded the Hermitage Museum, commissioned buildings all over Russia, founded academies, journals, and libraries.
In June of 1812, Napoleon began his fatal Russian campaign, a landmark in the history of the destructive potential of warfare. Having gathered nearly half a million soldiers from France as well as all of the vassal states of Europe as virtually all of continental Europe was under his control, Napoleon entered Russia at the head of the largest army ever seen only to be bitterly defeated by the Russians under Marshal Kutuzov.
Russia had expanded its territory and its power considerably over the nineteenth century. Its borders extended to Afghanistan and China, and it had acquired extensive territory on the Pacific coast. The foundation of the port cities of Vladivostok and Port Arthur there had opened up profitable avenues for commerce, and the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway (constructed from 1891-1905) linked the European Russia with its new eastern territories.
As Russia became more industrialized, larger, and far more complicated, the inadequacies of autocratic Tsarist rule became increasingly apparent. By 1917 conditions were ripe for a serious convulsion. On October 25, the Bolsheviks led by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin inaugurated the Soviet era.
The first years of Soviet rule were marked by an extraordinary outburst of social and cultural change. The country's infrastructure was rebuilt, industrial development was pushed along at breakneck speed, while the Russian Avant-Garde reached its height, developing the radical new styles of Constructivism, Futurism, and Suprematism.
With the outbreak of the Second World War, the Soviet Union found itself unprepared for the conflict. At first the Nazis had seized most of the Soviet territory in the west, surrounded St. Petersburg (having been renamed as Leningrad), and advanced to within a few hundred miles of Moscow. With tremendous effort, a Russian counter-offensive pushed back the advance on the capital. Despite an overwhelming disadvantage in numbers and inferior weaponry, the Russian army succeeded in holding out against the enormous German army. From 1943 onward, the Russian army remained on the attack. By 1944 they had driven the Nazis back to Poland, and on May 2, 1945, Berlin fell, marking the liberation of Europe and salvation of the whole world.
The second half of the 20th century saw a number of great discoveries by Russian scientists, the most prominent being space exploration. In 1961 Yuri Gagarin became the first man and the envoy of humankind in space.
Indian Russia
According to the Association of Indians in Russia, around 40,000 people of Indian origin are living in our country.
The Archives in Astrakhan, Moscow and St.Petersburg contain significant information on the activity of Indian merchants and artisans. We learn that the first Indians from Sindh and Multan arrived in Russian Astrakhan in 1615-1616. In 1624 a special trading post for Indian merchants was erected in Astrakhan. Historical records show that at one point more than one hundred Indian merchants and their servants lived in the region. They were dealers in Astrakhan textiles, jewelry and medicines. In 1650 Indian merchants sold their goods in Yaroslavl, not far from Moscow. Thereafter Russian Tsar Alexei Mikhaylovich invited Indian artisans to Moscow to introduce a textile industry there. Moscow had given the local administrative head instruction to allow Hindus to follow their rites of passage. Indian diamond trade was known then in Moscow and St. Petersburg. From the mid-1950s onwards significant numbers of Indian students began attending educational institutions in Moscow, Leningrad, Sverdlovsk, Kursk etc.
Because of warm relations between Russia and India for more than 65 years, Indians have always found a welcoming atmosphere among Russians. Russian society was in love with Indian movies and music for a long time, thus, it is more likely to accept Indians as a part of its emerging multi-cultural mosaic.
Science and technology in Russia developed rapidly since the Age of Enlightenment, when Peter the Great founded the Russian Academy of Sciences and polymath Mikhail Lomonosov founded the Moscow State University, establishing a strong native tradition in learning and innovation.
In the 19th and 20th centuries the country produced a large number of notable scientists, making important contributions to physics, astronomy, mathematics, computing, chemistry, biology, geology and geography. Russian inventors and engineers excelled in such areas as electrical engineering, shipbuilding, aerospace, weaponry, communications, IT, nuclear research and space exploration. Nano technologies have been developing intensely latest decades.

The motor supports and counter shaft are now roughed in. This stage helped me learn a bit about how the pulley-switching mechanism will work. I will be working on the complex pulley models next.
The tool rest assembly is one complex bit of machinery. I'm still roughing in the objects, but got a bit done today.
After beginning my foray into the world of hobby machining, I discovered the Gingery series of books describing how to construct a complete machine shop, essentially trading your time for money. While it isn't yet my intention to build a whole shop from scratch (my priorities might change in that direction, however), I have been inspired to build, at the very least, the charcoal foundry to assist in recycling valuable metals for my projects.
Even if I do purchase some of my own machine tools in the future (probably the Sieg-manufactured mini lathe [SC2] and mini mill [SX2]), I am very interested in building the Gingery lathe both as a learning experience, and a way to have a larger lathe for very little monetary investment.
While reading through the Gingery lathe book, I find myself wondering about the systems-level decisions in its design. The book is great about describing how to build the lathe, but it doesn't go into the reasons for some of the details in each part. I believe Mr. Gingery intended this to be an exercise for the student machinist to discover on their own as they build the lathe.
Also, I'm an engineer. Before I even push a wire into a breadboard, open a source code file, or start cutting a part, I need to have an idea of the entire system. I'd like to know where the tolerances are critical, and where there is some wiggle room. I need to know if I make a small change to the design to suit my situation (lack of a tool, cheaper material, etc), how it will affect the operation of the overall machine. Or, better yet, if I spend an extra couple of dollars on material, I might be able to improve the design and build a better, high-capacity machine.
To this end, I've started a little project in my random moments of spare computer time to model the Gingery lathe (and hopefully the other machines) in Blender 3D. This is mostly an exercise for myself, but there might just be a prospective machinist out there who might find my models useful in working on their own project.
Right now, I've just begun a few of the basic parts. The render shown includes the bases, bed, way, carriage, and cross slide. I haven't even started on the fasteners yet, and I've left out the gibs until I've finished the model. The materials are just roughed-in to provide some contrast between the parts. After a little more progress, I'll start posting the .blend file for anyone to pull apart.
If I find myself really bored on a rainy afternoon, I might even work in some animation controls so a person could move the parts of the lathe around using parametric inputs.


It's EARTH MONTH GUYS! I've been relatively quiet on the wellness front lately on my blog but if you follow me on instagram you've probably noticed my occasional rants on certain brands and their false claims to being "sustainable," "earth friendly", or "natural". I'm a hippie at heart, and care about what I expose my body (and the planet) to, which is one of the many reasons why I choose to use Tom's of Maine products.
I could go on and on about the brand, but in sum, they've committed to creating their products using sustainable practices, and use no artificial colors, flavors, fragrances, or preservatives. They strive to maximize the recyclability of their packaging and are COMPLETELY transparent about what goes into each and every one of their products. What's not to love?
Before approached to do this campaign, I had only used their deodorant because it was the only product I was familiar with. But after using their Tom's of Maine "Luminous White™" Toothpaste Clean Mint for just a few weeks I have to admit I'll probably start incorporating this into my daily routine. I noticed a difference in my smile, and knowing that it was all done by a brand that cares about our health & environment made me smile that much harder.

You guys know I would never promote something I don't already use from brands I love, so I have no problem saying this is sponsored.
