"Beechey's assignment was primarily to meet Captain Perry and Sir John Franklin on the west shore of Bering Strait and bring home one or both of them. They were searching for a Northwest Passage north of the Arctic Circle. However, before reaching Bering Strait, Beechey was to go to Rio de Janeiro, around Cape Horn, and call at Easter Island, Tahiti, and Pitcairn Island. Chapters II and III contain the story of the mutiny on the Bounty, as related by James Adams, the surviving mutineer; also the description of the Blossom's, Captain Beechey's ship, stay at Pitcairn Island" (Lada-Mocarski).
"Captain Beechey [1796-1856], near Point Barrow, Alaska, and Sir John Franklin had arrived within fifty leagues of each other when the latter was compelled by weather to return. Beechey's book is one of the most valuable of modern voyages and relates to extensive visits to Pitcairn Island, the Tuamotu Archipelago, the Society Islands and Tahiti, Alaska, Hawaii, Macao, Okinawa, and the coast of California. His book provides an important account of Monterey and San Francisco before the American conquest and gives his impressions of the missionaries in San Francisco. Beechey describes the Eskimos of the north and relates his meeting with John Adams, last survivor of the mutiny on the Bounty, who gave Beechey a lengthy account. In the course of this voyage, Beechey discovered several islands in the Pacific" (Hill).
"Beechey arrived in San Francisco on November 7, 1826. He remained about a month in California, returning in 1827 for another month's stay. He gives a description of San Francisco harbor and tells of the sad state of affairs of both mission and presidio. He claimed that the soldiers and clergy were dissatisfied with conditions in California (the pay of the garrison was many years in arrears). He described the treatment of mission Indians and the hunting of the wild ones, the latter's mode of life as taken from the journals of Spanish officers. He also visited Monterey. Beechey remarked about meeting a gentleman belonging to the American Fur Company. 'One of the depots, we are informed by a gentleman belonging to the establishment, whom we met at Monterey in 1827, is situated on the western side of the Rocky mountains on a fork of a stream of the Columbia called Lewis river, near the source of a stream supposed to be the Colorado.' Could this have been Jedediah Smith? He was at Monterey and San Francisco during Beechey's stay. On November 22, 1827, due to pressing business, he declined an invitation to dine on board the Blossom. One plate related to California, showing Californians throwing the lasso" (Zamorano Eighty).

The Chillow is a pillow, made by SoothSoft Innovations Worldwide, to which you add plain water. It is designed to then stay cool; whatever part of your body that comes in contact with it will also stay cool. When placed on top of a pillow, people who have a fever, are experiencing hot flashes or are suffering from a sunburn will welcome the coolness when they put their head on it. After the initial few minutes it takes to activate the Chillow, there is nothing left to do but enjoy it!
Unroll the Chillow, valve side up, on a clean surface such as a counter top. Remove the valve cap and slowly pour in 8 or 9 cups of warm water. Snap the cap back on the valve, making sure it fits tightly so that no water escapes. Allow the Chillow to sit for 4 hours so that the cooling properties are activated. Be patient.
Roll up the Chillow, beginning at the end without a valve, as you would a sleeping bag. Force the air into an bubble near the valve.
Hold the roll tight and lift the corner that is filled with air. Slowly uncap the valve and release every bit of air. Recap the valve to make a vacuum seal. The surface of the Chillow should have small wrinkles because of the vacuum seal.
Place the Chillow on a chair or on top of a regular pillow to cool the skin that touches it. If skin comes in direct contact with the Chillow often, clean it every few weeks with a damp rag and mild soap. To make it cooler, put it in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes—never put it in the freezer.

Well drillers continue to serve an invaluable purpose, even in our age of mechanical conveniences. In fact, as the industry of drilling becomes more advanced and complex, so does their training. Long past are the days when drilling a well was as simple as digging. With modernization come protocols and safety measures, and while they may seem to slow the process down, they enable us to utilize machinery that drastically speeds it up. The machinery cannot take all the credit though. It is only because of the professionals who design and operate our drills that they have any value at all.
Like any professional though, their knowledge has its limits. Despite their training and experience, well drillers still lack one of the most essential abilities in creating a well. They can cut through earth and rock like butter, but without the knowledge of where water lies their tools are wasted. You would not go for surgery if the surgeon did not know where to operate. A misplaced well may be less critical to your health, but it is dangerous nonetheless. Well drillers lack the knowledge necessary to ensure that a well will be in an optimal position for high yield and longevity. If a well is drilled in the wrong location, it is nothing more than an expensive hole. Thankfully we have developed equipment to help shed light where our eyes cannot see.
Groundwater surveying is like a surgeon's x-ray. It allows us to see underground without invasive equipment. This enhanced understanding of aquifers and subterranean composition eliminates the guesswork of finding the best spot to place a well. We no longer need to rely on trial and error. Groundwater surveying costs a fraction of what it takes to drill a single well. This means that one misplaced hole is far more costly than the understanding that would have prevented it. Economics aside, unnecessary excavation can be harmful to the land and wastes valuable time. Just as there are professional x-ray technicians who provide surgeons with the information they need, professional groundwater surveyors provide land owners and well drillers with crucial information for their job.
Like well drillers, groundwater surveyors also use sophisticated technology in their profession, the most advanced and reliable of which is seismoelectric surveying. This process uses seismic vibrations to detect electrical signals through rock and soil. These readings offer a dependable awareness of the location and quality of aquifers in a survey site without damaging the land. Unlike other forms of groundwater surveying such as nuclear magnetic resonance technology, seismoelectric surveying is inexpensive and incomparably accurate.
Well drillers can perform their job as competently and professionally as possible, but the task of groundwater surveying is outside of their professional jurisdiction. This is why groundwater surveying will always be an irreplaceable process in drilling wells efficiently and inexpensively. A surgeon would never go to work blind, and neither should any professional. Trustworthy groundwater surveying is never an asset to be overlooked. If you are considering having a well drilled at your expense, it is worth making sure that it is done right.

For any discerning citizen it will be immediately apparent that the only political party in Malaysia that represents the Indians and is in clear opposition to UMNO is the Human Rights Party(HRP). All the other parties ( nine of them -MIC, PPP, IPF, Punjabi Peoples Party, Kimma, Mindraf, MMSP, MCC and MUIP) are just falling over one another fighting to get a lick at the honey. They represent the narrow and selfish interests of those few who will fight to deliver the Indian votes to UMNO in return for a lick at the honey. They are part of the ongoing treachery against the Indians in Malaysia. It is only when the true interests of the working class Indians are represented in the halls of power that the Indians in this country will get to really move on.
Then look at DAP and PKR who also vie for the Indian votes. Yes that is all they are interested in – the Indian votes. And they want the votes cheaply. They will throw maybe two peanuts at their Mandores, not one like UMNO and hope their dues are paid for the votes. They will create an illusion of representation more treacherous than UMNO by saying we have a Deputy Chief Minister II, we have a Speaker of the Assembly who are Indians, did you have that under UMNO. But what is the point of having impotent representatives like that. They make no difference any way. The differences they proudly and shamelessly speak about is like the naming of roads in Penang in Tamil or of giving land to one or two Tamil Schools which anyway gets mired in the mud because of the passing of the buck between PR and UMNO. It is time these politicians understood that there is a price for the votes – they are not going to come cheap anymore. Who is willing to pay the price will get the votes and not any one else. The price is a clear change to policies vis-à-vis the Indians - to solve the endemic problem of poverty among the Indians, to put in place equal rights in all sense, to create equal opportunities in all sense.
This is the price –PAS, DAP.PKR stop fooling around with mandorism, it is not going to work. UMNO stop creating more Indian parties, it just will not work. Come clean with equitable policies and you will see the magic..

Kugan died while in police custody. He was arrested on Jan 15th 2009. He died six days later on the 20th of Jan 2009. Constable Navindran is charged with causing grievous hurt to Kugan on the 16th at 7.00am and 4.00pm . Kugan died 4 days later on the 20th of January. ASP Rodney Pasla Haris to whom Navindran reported saw none of the injuries which have been so well documented on the last occasion he saw him alive. We will see such facts unfold in the media and the media will not fail to report these insignificant facts and take attention off a very fundamental failure of the system in our country. The Illusions will continue to pour out from this jug of hubris.
It is not Kugan or whoever it is that killed him that is no trial here. It is the entire system of governance in this country that is on trial. The system of governance in general and the system of justice in our country has deteriorated to an extent that the police have become a law unto themselves. This is what is on trial here. Zimbabwe had a system very close to this that the music from the fiddles were more important than burning Rome. The police have become the prosecutor, the judge, the jury and the executioner – all in one, especially when it comes to the lives of defenceless Indians. The Malay-sian police have no right to take the life of any Malaysian, in particular ethnic minority Malaysian Indians.
Indians have become soft targets in the country. There are so many ways in which the system is killing off Indians. The police killing is just one of the ways. The systematic neglect by the UMNO government of the Indians leaving them in an endemic condition of poverty and all the incumbent ills constitute other surreptitious ways of the killing. The average life span of Indians in the country is lowest among the 3 major ethnic groups and there really is no other reason for this than the systematic neglect by the system.
Such Killing of Indians do not even do not get the attention of the supposed "multi racial" Opposition parties top leadership, their 82 Opposition MPs' including their 11 Indian members of Parliament. Perhaps because names like Kugan or Muruges do not sound anything like Teoh Beng Hock or Anwar Ibrahim! And so the above and thousands of other atrocities against the Indians goes on unabated and with impunity.
There is only one way out, Indians have to win political power on the strength of their numbers and send to the halls of power those who will truly represent the Indians to change the destiny of Indians in this country. We have had 50 years with UMNO and now 2 years with PR and there is absolutely no difference. They cannot take care of Indian interests. We have to learn to stand on our strengths ourselves. Many say this is not possible. We in HRP believe it is possible and we will show the way to get it done.
We believe in the power of the people. When they become aware their strength is formidable. You will see.
Finally Dharshini readmitted to school But who puts UMNO in jail for denying Dharsini a place in the first place

Dharsini a/l Ponnuthurai (14) was finally readmitted into her Secondary school today after her father Ponnuthurai Manickam had reported the matter to HRP about one month ago. We do not view this as an achievement at all as Dharsini should not have been denied entry into school in the first place. This is despite our P. Uthayakumar personally speaking to Puan Zaini the headmistress of SMK Taman Tasik, En Abdul Ghafur the Headmaster of Dharsini's present school and En. Shamsuri Jamil, the Special Officer to the Education Minister in charge of Teachers and pupils and other personell.
This matter was also highlighted at a Press Conference by HRP Information Chief S. Jayathas and publicized by the media.
Despite all these efforts Dharsini was forced out of school for two months.
Dharsini's 62 year old aged adopted father on his part had to shuttle from one school to another from the District Education Department to the State Education Department to the Federal Education Department on scores of occasions for his daughter's basic and fundamental right to education.
Article 8 of the Federal Constitution provides for Equality before the law.
But UMNOs' 1,016.799 graduates of the Biro Tatanegara programmes implements UMNOs' racist, religious extremist and supremacist policies.
Such a simple straight forward matter deliberately made thus difficult by UMNO.
Even at the Welfare home earlier. Dharsini was believed to have been converted to Islam with the word binti after her name in her birth certificate which may pose a problem as what had happened to Banggarama of Penang. Her citizenship though she and her mother were born in Malaysia is now causing her this problem of being excluded from Form Two in her Secondary school.
But Article 12 (4) read with the Second Schedule of the Federal Constitution states that the religion of a person under the age of eighteen years shall be decided by his parent or guardian and the Second Scheduled 1 (1) (c) states "every person born within the Federation after September, 1962, of whose parents one at least was at the time of the birth either a citizen or permanently resident in the Federation, or who was not born a citizen of any other country is a citizen by operation of law.
Article 12 provides that there shall be no discrimination against any citizen on the grounds only of religion, race, descent or place of birth.
But all these laws are not abided to by UMNO and are violated with impunity.
Dharsini was forced to miss school by UMNO for almost two months now. The law in Malaysia as in most other countries is a jail sentence for parents who do not send their children to school. But here we have a dedicated pair of adoptive parents who had the heart to adopt baby Dharsini at four years of age from the Welfare Department to give love and life to this young child. But cruel UMNO denies her two months of her precious school life, the unnecessary agony she and her parents had to undergo, the embarrassment, pain, indignity etc.

"When I left Paris [see: "From World War I to the Asia Minor disaster" ] and was back to Greece, I met with a situation far worse than what I had imagined. It seems inevitable that those who criticize the mistakes of others, repeat exactly the same when they come to power. Imposed measures of justice would have been the recall in active duty of all officers that had been removed from service for political reasons, the annulment of the administrative measures of suspension etc. and the re-establishment of the hierarchy. These measures were necessary to prove that the new situation was a national regime and not one of a particular political camp, to forget political ideologies and render professional ability the only criterion of evaluation. The resignation of the leaders and several of the more senior officers that participated in the coup [see: "Beginning of problems-National division 1915-17" ] facilitated the re-establishment of order. As far as the remaining officers of the venizelist camp were concerned, it was most probable that they would serve scrupulously, as most of us royalists had done during the previous regime.
The previous Government had included in the general measure of purges, in addition to those that were considered undesirable for purely political reasons, several officers that belonged to the royalist camp and were lacking professional skills. Equality could thus be re-established to the benefit of the Navy if this measure was extended to the professionally unfit of the venizelist camp. Unfortunately this was not done and whoever was dismissed for whatever reason acquired the aureole of being drawn away for his political beliefs and returned with pretensions that he could never had advanced in case the national division had not taken place. These pretensions were being accepted, often against the interests of other officers that had the misfortune of not having been sufficiently victimized to obtain the title of national hero.
Those that had been promoted by the previous Government to the rank of Admiral had resigned, with the exception of an officer that had not participated in the coup and who was suspended. Being a flag officer it would have been more logical for him to retire also, if judged non desirable, instead of promoting all his senior officers and thus the R.H.N. acquiring a dozen Rear Admirals.
One of my classmates at the School of Naval Cadets, an ideologue, the aviator Aristides Moraitinis, had been promoted in 1917 by 'absolute election' for exploit to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. This officer had since been killed during an air mission, but his worthy promotion was used as pretext for all his seniors to be promoted retroactively on the same day to the same rank. As a result it was considered that I hold the rank of Lieutenant Commander two and more years before my actual promotion.
In a more general way, officers had been distributed in three categories. Those who had returned from dismissal and were destined to obtain the more important positions, the venizelists who were transferred to the category of subordinates and the royalists who had served under the previous Government who were placed in the intermediary category. By transposition of persons, this was an exact copy of what had happened in the past three years.
When I returned from Paris to Athens, I reported for duty at the Ministry of the Navy. The Administration Director asked me in what position I wished to serve. I answered that the R.H.N. had sent me to be trained for the wireless, but I was ready to serve in whatever position my services were needed. The Director replied that at the Direction of the Radiotelegraphic Service of the Navy (D.R.Y.N.) were already serving enough officers and that my presence there was not indispensable. It is noteworthy however that none of the naval officers serving at the D.R.Y.N. had any relation to the wireless! Next, the Director proposed to me to assume command of a requisitioned merchant ship transformed to minelayer, which had few probabilities to be used. I accepted the offer although I had no specialty for that kind of ship. As I was leaving the Director's office, I met a reserve officer waiting at the anteroom who had specialized in mines and who informed me that he wished to be recalled to duty and assume that particular position. He asked me not to insist on getting the command of the minelayer. I assured him that I was not after this assignment and that I had simply declared that I would assume whatever mission I was entrusted with. It seems that this officer's lobbying was successful because Headquarters decided suddenly that my presence in the radiotelegraphy service was not superfluous and the next day I was informed that following more recent decisions I had to report for duty at the D.R.Y.N.
When I reported for duty at the D.R.Y.N., the Votanicos installations were almost complete. An important mistake however had been made: The main wireless station installed, which was ordered before the war, was completely obsolete That station was destined for communicating as far as England, an objective that was never fulfilled. The station had been used very little and the expenses incurred proved pointless. If the D.R.Y.N. had followed-up the technical progress done during World War I and had considered proposals made by interested firms, a solution would have been found and instead of a worthless station a modern system would have been installed.
The venizelist Director of the D.R.Y.N., specialized in wireless in England, was replaced by a non-specialized Captain. Soon the new Director was transferred to the Direction of Wireless of the Ministry of Transports, where he remained until the position was abolished by the Revolution of 1922. A Lieutenant Commander, my senior, was serving as Deputy Director. He was also not specialized in wireless and was dealing exclusively with administrative matters. Initially, I took over the direction of the Technical Department, the organization of the Radiotelegraphy School and teaching at the School. Then, after the transfer of the Director, the Deputy Director took over as Director and thus the duties of the Deputy were added to mine. In spite of the small difference in seniority, my relationship with the new Director was friendly; there was mutual politeness and no problems with the running of the service. I couldn't help wondering though –and with me many other colleagues- since the R.H.N. considered that this important Service could be run by a Lieutenant Commander, why it's direction was not entrusted to the only specialist? The answer to this question can probably be found in the categorization of officers mentioned here-above…
Used to the pettiness of politics, I decided to ignore them and to devote myself to the complicated task I had in front of me. The central service, the scientific laboratory and the warehouses had to be organized. The new Votanicos Station had to be tested and the planned network of Greater Greece had to be completed with about 20 new stations from Eastern Thrace to Smyrna. All existing ship and shore spark transmitter stations had to be gradually replaced with the new type vacuum-tube transmitters. Personnel had to be systematically trained for the new equipment and relative textbooks issued. In addition, during that period, the D.R.Y.N. covered the wireless communication needs of merchant ships and airplanes.
To execute this important program I needed a specialized assistant, but had none. The civil engineer trained in France with me [see: "From World War I to the Asia Minor disaster 1919-21" ] was pursuing his studies in Germany. With intensive, hard work and with willingness to succeed I nevertheless responded satisfactorily to the challenge. In addition, working at night, I wrote the book "Elements of wireless telegraphy" [see: "Books" that for many years was used as the only textbook of wireless of the Royal Hellenic Navy.
In November 1921, I visited Smyrna to take delivery of the wireless station installed there. The station was immediately put in operation and offered important services during the military operations. During my stay in Smyrna, I was the guest of Rear Admiral Kalamidas, Commander of the Greek Naval forces of Smyrna, on board the battleship "LEMNOS". Rear Admiral Kalamidas was in 1916 Squadron leader of the out-of-commission Battleship Squadron [see: "Beginning of problems- National division 1915-17" ]. With emotion I returned to my old ship and my ex- Commander under so different conditions! Instead of the miserable looking faces of those serving 5 years earlier in the battleship command, those now serving were happy and full of optimism for the future. No one seemed to sense the catastrophe that was coming. In this atmosphere I felt for a while deep sorrow, because my new duties were keeping me away from the unforgettable hours that those serving on the ships were living. But I had to leave Smyrna and return to my technical duties…
A new director had been named in the mean time, a Captain retired by the venizelist Government and recalled to active duty, that had also never dealt with the wireless. As it became known, his placement was due to his request to be assigned to a service offering a dwelling for his family because having returned from abroad he was in need of a home for his family. This dwelling, the only that the Navy disposed in Athens, often became the apple of discord of candidate directors.
Because of my rank, the change of Director formally facilitated my position. The new director was a very gallant person. The only unpleasant thing was that, as soon as he read a book popularizing the wireless, he considered that he possessed the matter, was interfering with technical details and asking analytical explanations for which I didn't have the time to spare. Especially at that time, when I was writing another book the "Wireless telegraph theory" in the prospect of the operation in the very near future of a School for the senior personnel.
In June 1922, I visited again Smyrna to review the radiotelegraphy station. From various discussions I formed the opinion that the fatal end of the Asia Minor expedition was approaching. When I returned to Athens, I made the suggestion to my director to issue preliminary orders to avoid the station falling intact in the hands of the enemy, in case the war was lost. It was of course a minor issue, but that was all I could suggest from my position. My director advanced some objections in the beginning, as he was very optimistic and not willing to create panic. Finally he was persuaded and a top-secret order anticipating 3 stages of action was issued. Each of these stages was to be implemented following a special telegraphic instruction. These instructions were given in time on the basis of the progress of the enemy attack and when the Turks were entering Smyrna the buildings of the station were on fire and the antennas were blown-up. All the equipment was salvaged and later installed in the Rio station (near Patras) in Greece. This equipment was among the very few salvaged from the Asia Minor disaster. In the middle of such a huge national tragedy, this small contribution was the only one that we –serving at Votanicos- could offer.
The 1922 Revolution
Since August 1922, when the Turkish attack started in Asia Minor, they were rumors that in case of a military disaster mutinies would erupt to overthrow the regime. Rightfully, it was considered that the Athens wireless stations, safer for transmitting governmental orders than telegraphic cables that could be cut-off, would be among the main targets of the mutineers. It was therefore decided to adopt exceptional security measures to protect the stations from external attacks and to secure their functioning from internal sabotage by eventual collaborators of the mutineers. I did not have at that time the special experience needed, but have acquired it since then during the endless period of coups to such degree that the mutineers by profession considered the Votanicos wireless Station as one of the most difficult targets. For several days I had to stop any other work and deal exclusively with the defense of the site. Several nights I remained in the area surrounding the Station supervising the men of the guard standing behind the barbed wires that we had installed.
On the night of September 11, 1922 I was standing by the receiver of the Station when the duty telegrapher informed me that a telegram with an important content was being received from the battleship "LEMNOS". I immediately realized that it was a revolutionary proclamation and waited impatiently to see who was signing it. Two Colonels -unknown to me- and a naval Commander were the names at the bottom of the message. I was surprised reading the name of the Commander because he was a disciplined and lawful officer. As we later learned, many of the more junior officers that had not participated in the Thessalonica movement had now joined the Revolution. One can explain this phenomenon by the size of the national disaster that the revolted officers had experienced and the administration methods applied in the period following the elections.
In spite of the patriotic content of the revolutionary telegram and no matter who was signing it, from the very beginning I opposed this revolutionary action, as well as any other that followed. I absolutely respected the King, but was not satisfied with the actions of those that governed our Country in this last period. I considered however that after a national disaster of such size, only our national unity could save Greece. I was of the opinion that national unity could not be achieved by the abdication of the King, who a large part of our people still adored, neither by adopting violent measures that would again result in the dominance of one of the two camps and thus in the perpetuation of national division.
I therefore remained loyal to my beliefs and my decision that to the last moment I will execute orders of the legal Government. As soon as the requests of the Revolution were accepted, the Director of the D.R.Y.N. went to Athens and left me as his cover. I maintained the existing measures of vigilance and refused entrance to anyone not serving at Votanicos. When I learned that some dismissed venizelist telegrapher officers were coming by their own initiative to take-up service, I informed them not to insist because I would use violence and they complied. I had decided to turnover command only to a person presenting a written order of the new Government. And that's what happened; thus, order was absolutely maintained during the days of transition.
Having done my duty as soldier towards the abolished regime I took the decision, if asked, to continue serving my Country under the new regime no matter who were the persons in charge. My new Director made this task easier. My ex-commander of the destroyers "LONGHI" and "KERAVNOS" as soon as he took over as the new Director of the D.R.Y.N., asked me to stay on as his Deputy. I was persuaded a priori from our past service with him [see: "Greece enters World War I- extensive purges 1917-19" ] that there will be no adverse consequences on the personnel and that I will be able to continue unhampered my work.
Two new duties were added to the many duties I already had in the context of the D.R.Y.N.: Teaching Electricity at the Naval School of Cadets and the Military Academy, where this course was taught for the first time. I had to write a new book for the Naval School of Cadets, adapted to the level of knowledge that naval officers should have. However, I tried hard to maintain this level because the Commander of the School insisted that it should be downgraded to adapt to the level of some students that shouldn't have been admitted to the School nor named officers. I had to accept teaching at the Military Academy after the insistence of its Commander, because at that time there was no wireless specialist in the Army. Many students of the Academy were serving in the Army on the basis of a special law and the level of their education was very low for a course requiring a sound knowledge of mathematics. Although the teaching material used was my 'Electro-technology' destined to the non-commissioned officers of the Royal Navy, at the exams about a quarter of the students didn't get a passing grade. At the end of the year I found as pretext that I was overworked and asked to be released from my teaching obligations at the Military Academy. In reality, I was not satisfied with the results of my teaching. The Commander of the School accepted my resignation with regret and kindly expressed his thanks in writing for the "excellent services" provided.
My main task in the period following the Asia Minor disaster was to secure perfect functioning for the wirelesses of the Fleet and the shore stations. This was done successfully.
While many of the actions of the Revolution can be criticized, an impartial judge cannot deny the important services offered on the military level in the aftermath of the disaster. The Army troops at the northeastern borders were restructured and at the same time our naval forces were reorganized.
Unfortunately, the Revolution did not limit their actions to the military field but proceeded to actions that increased the chasm that already existed, instead of bringing a much-wanted national unity. With the adopted measures all the militaries, that had not joined the revolutionary movement but had accepted to help in the reorganization of the armed forces effort, were put in a very difficult position. Very grave mistakes had been committed by the previous regime but there was absolutely no reason to doubt about the patriotism of those who governed our Country and the Commander in Chief, put in charge at the last moment, which were driven to the firing squad for high treason. We had to press ourselves to continue serving after this tragic event.
Although working under these adverse conditions, my work was appreciated to such a point that the Revolution awarded me an honorable distinction: Since the period of the Thessalonica movement [see: "Beginning of problems- National division 1915-17" ] a new medal of 'military valor' had been created destined to those showing an exceptional professional ability. This purpose was however never implemented. First it was awarded to absolutely all those that participated in the mutiny, then to all sharing that same ideology. The regime that followed ignored this medal –assumingly because of the political aspect given to it's award- and proceeded with awarding plenty of 'distinctions of bravery'. This same camp in the following years considered expedient to award the medal of 'military valor' to all that had not acquired it and thus this medal became a simple accessory of the uniform, showing seniority in service. For this reason I wouldn't have mentioned being awarded that medal in July 1923, if I wasn't the only officer from those not belonging to the Revolution that were honored with this distinction. I was awarded this medal following a report filed by my Director who proposed this award for: "excellent abilities, rare military virtues, dedication to his duty and zeal and hard work that can serve as example".
The internal actions of the Revolution and especially the execution of the 6 had increased reaction against her, even among many of those that had initially agreed with the principles that had been announced. Thus, gradually, a military movement was being organized especially in the Army to overthrow the regime. Timing seemed good after the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne, when the external danger receded.
The 1923 Counterrevolution
The counterrevolutionary movement erupted on October 22, 1923 and initially it appeared massive and prevailing. However, after the drastic measures taken by the Revolution the coup lasted only 5 days. In the period prior to its eruption they were many rumors and many considered it imminent. I had no inside information concerning the plans of the mutineers and the day their movement would erupt. No one had tried to get me involved in these plans. Besides, in spite of the friendly relation I had with several of the counterrevolutionaries, trying to involve me would have been pointless. Based on my experience, I had come to the conclusion that I would never agree with several of the actions taken by the political camps that were alternating in power and often creating a worse situation than the one they were replacing. I remained constant in these beliefs till the end of my career. In fact, as time passed by they were further re-enforced.
Therefore, the counterrevolution found me loyal to my position, ready to defend lawfulness in my Service. We took measures similar to those taken at the outbreak of the 1922 Revolution to secure the functioning of the Stations. No one tried to put them to test.
As it was to be expected, the repression of the counterrevolution was followed by purges that thank heaven didn't include executions. Many officers and among them some especially able were dismissed. Although the Navy didn't seem to have participated in the counterrevolution, the repercussion of the measures reached me. An evening, my director informed me that it was absolutely necessary that I remain in, until he comes to the D.R.Y.N. The next morning he informed me that an order for my arrest had been issued and thanks to his personal efforts the order was provisionally suspended. I was accused of participation to the counterrevolutionary coup! A chief petty officer, head of the small wireless station of Fassi on the island of Andros, had accused me of being one of the mutineers because I had left on purpose his station without fuel in order to deprive the Government of an important means of communication. In reality, in the last month there was a series of reports and memos of the D.R.Y.N. addressed to the Ministry of the Navy requesting the fuel supply of this station in order to avoid interruption of its operation. The fuel had not been sent and the Fassi station had reported operation interrupted. A Captain with close ties with the Revolution charged with the investigation refused to pursue interrogations, as soon as he read the relative documents, and thus this comic matter ended. Next, the Director of the D.R.Y.N. sued the chief petty officer with as only result an administrative penalty for having reported not according to rule but directly to the Chief of the Revolution. Of course nothing was done to punish those that on the basis of an irregular report of a non-commissioned officer ordered the arrest of a senior officer!
Such are the results of mutinies that give the opportunity to low level officials for wrongdoings in the name of and to supposedly protect the regime!
During this period the first order was placed with the 'MARCONI' factories in England for a new type of wireless with vacuum-tube transmitters destined to equip 4 'LEON' type destroyers that were being modernized in British shipyards and some shore stations. The modernization of those 4 destroyers was the first serious post-war effort of renewal of the Fleet's equipment that had been seriously downgraded. With the outbreak of World War I the R.H.N. was deprived of all new units that were under construction and the only post-war strengthening came from 6 ex-Austrian torpedo boats and the destroyer "SMYRNA" (ex-Austrian "ULAN") transferred to the R.H.N. in replacement of the destroyer "DOXA" seized by the French during the November 1919 events and sunk with all hands on board by a German submarine on June 17, 1917, while sailing with a French flag and crew, near the island of Melos. The 'LEMNOS' type battleships where now outmoded, the destroyer "NAFKRATOUSA" was sunk following a naval accident, the 2 'KERAVNOS' type destroyers and the 2 submarines were out of commission. The remaining light ships had worked intensively during the wars and were badly in need of major overhaul"


One of the things that Brokers know and typically don't share with our clients are what factors make up their insurance rates. Of course, each company has their own rating factors but there are a few that are the same from company to company. Today I'm going to share with you the "age of roof" rating factor. Depending on the age of your home's roof, you will likely either earn a discount towards the overall premium if the roof is newer, or a surcharge if its older. It makes perfect sense too, a newer roof should warrant a discount on the premium since it greatly reduces the chances of claims resulting from wind or water. However, the minority of people who install new roofs on their houses will even think of telling their agent or broker about the upgrade. Well, you should! And, if your agent or broker tells you that it won't lower your premium, it's probably time to look for a new insurance company…or just give me a call at 484-879-4375.


Using a floor sign that reads, "Used Alcohol Rags" on it will help to remind people that the container located on or near the sign is only to be used for this type of rag. This is very important because if you start mixing things with rags that were soaked in alcohol it can cause a variety of problems. Certain chemicals mixing with alcohol, for example, can cause dangerous fumes or even fires. By clearly identifying one bin to be used only for used alcohol rags you will be helping to keep the facility much safer.
In addition to the safety benefits, this floor sign can also help ensure that people don't put other items down where the container should go while it is off being emptied. Assigning different things specific spots in the facility is a great way to reduce clutter and improve efficiency within the facility.


(1) the source of interference, means produce interference components, equipment, or a signal, using a mathematical language description: du/dt and di/dt Grand place is the source of interference. For example: Thunder and lightning, relays, SCR, motor, high-frequency clock, etc can become the source of interference.
(2) propagation path means interference from sources of interference to access sensitive devices or media. Typical interference propagation path through the wires of conduction and radiation in space.
Suppression of interference is possible to reduce the interference source du/dt and di/dt. This is a antijamming design of the highest priority and the most important principle, often has a multiplier effect. Reduce interference sources du/dt, mainly through the interference source to achieve parallel capacitance at both ends. Reduce the interference of the di/dt is interference source loop inductance or resistance and increase continued flow diode.
(1) relay coil increase continued flow diode, eliminating broken coil of back-EMF. Only with continued flow diode will enable relay disconnect time lag, increase the Zener diode rear relay in unit time action more often.
(2) the ends of the relay contacts and add spark suppression circuit (typically RC series circuit, general elections a few K resistor to dozens of K, capacitors selected 0.01uF), decrease the EDM.
(3) to the motor and filter circuit, capacitors, inductors leads to short.
(4) the Board each IC to and received a 0.01 μ F ~ than 0 μ F high-frequency capacitors to reduce the effect of the power supply IC. Note the high-frequency capacitance of wiring, wiring should be close to the power supply side and short thick as possible, otherwise, equal to increase the capacitance of the equivalent series resistance, affect the filter effect.
(5) wiring avoid 90 ° bend, reduce the high frequency noise emission.
(6) thyristor suppression received on both sides and RC circuits, reduce the noise generated by Silicon controlled rectifier (this noise serious may be SCR breakdown). By interference propagation path can be divided into conducted interference and radiated interference.
(1) take full account of the impact of on-chip power supply. The power to do well, the entire circuit interference most of the settlement. Many of the microcontroller is sensitive to the power supply noise, to give single-chip power plus filter circuit or regulators to reduce power noise interference on the microcontroller. For example, you can use beads and capacitance constituted π-shaped filter circuit, course conditions requirements is also available in 100 Ω resistor substitute beads.
(2) if the microcontroller I/O port used to control the motor noise, and the i/o port should be added between the noise source isolation (increase the π-filter). Control motor, noise, noise in the I/O port and should be added between the source isolation (increase the π-filter).
(3) Note Crystal wiring. Crystal oscillator and a microcomputer PIN as close as possible to that ground the clock district isolation, Crystal shell grounding and fixed. This measure can solve many problems.
(4) reasonable partition, such as circuit boards, weak signal, digital and analog signals. As far as possible sources of interference (e.g. motors, relays) and sensitive components (such as SCM) away.
(5) with a ground to digital and analog DC isolation, digital and analog to detach, point final in received power. A/D and D/A chip wiring also as a principle, manufacturers assign A/D and D/A chip pin arrangement is already considering this request.
(6) MCU and high-power devices ground to separate ground to reduce interference. High-power devices in the circuit board edge as possible.
Improve anti-interference performance sensitive devices is measured from the sensitive devices here consider minimizing interference noise pickup, and never a normal status as soon as possible.
(1) wiring to minimize the loop area, central to reduce induced noise.
(2) wiring, power and ground to rough. In addition to reduce pressure drop, and more importantly reduce coupling noise.
(3) in the case of single-chip I/O port are idle, not vacant, to ground or power supply. Other IC free-without altering the system logic ground or power supply.
(4) on-chip power monitoring and watchdog circuit, such as: IMP809, IMP706, IMP813, X25043, X25045, can greatly improve the performance of the entire circuit.
(5) in speed to meet the requirements, minimize the use of Crystal andLow-speed digital circuits.
(6) IC devices try to direct welding at the Board, the use of IC socket.

Already as a student, she had begun illustrating children's books and contributing to shildren's periodical. In 1973, she won the highest national award given to illustrators at that time, the Levstik award, for her Illustrations of Andersen's fairy tale the Princess and the Pea.
Marija Lucija Stupica has been represented in many of the most important international surveys of illustrators and has participated in manj international exhibits of illustrations. Among others, the artist has won three Lewstik Awards, the Prešeren Prize (the national award for achievement in the area of Slovenian art), the Golden Apple BIB and the Smrekar Award given at the Slovenian Biennale for Illustrators, currently the highest national award for illustration.


Located on the edge of Forest Service land in the Maury Mountains and nestled under large ponderosa pine trees, this campground is relatively easy to reach yet still has a secluded feel. It is conveniently located near the Maury Mountain agate beds which host red, green, and gold moss agates.
Travel southeast on Highway 380 for about 32 miles.
Turn south onto Forest Service Road 16 and continue for about 5 miles.
Elkhorn Campground will be on your left, just past the National Forest Boundary.
This campground has 5 campsites, however if you come here in spring or early summer a couple of the campsites could be pretty grown over by grass. Trailers have an easier time here than they do at the other free campgrounds in the Maury Mountains because of the wider loop and because one of the campsites is a pull-through.
Recreational vehicles can be accommodated in this campground. There is one existing pull-through campsite and the rest of the campsites will need to be backed into. There are no hook-ups of any kind offered at this site.
