Ellen Dahlberg
Pioneering photo journalist
Ellen Dahlberg was one of the first female photojournalists in Sweden. She was active from the 1940s onwards.
Ellen Dahlberg was born Ellen Tradelius in Berlin in 1921. She came to Sweden in 1938 as a Jewish refugee, shortly after her sister had also fled to Sweden. Their parents, Alice and Siegfried Tradelius remained in Germany where they both ran a family-run textile business. Shortly after Ellen Dahlberg's flight to Sweden both of her parents were imprisoned by the Nazis. Her mother died in captivity whilst her father, who was permitted to attend her mother's funeral, managed to escape to the Netherlands and from there made his way to Sweden.
Ellen Dahlberg initially lived with her sister Hilde in Stockholm. It was not long before she decided to devote herself to a career as a photographer. Initially she worked as an assistant to the photographer Inga Ljungberg. Then from 1939–1940 she began an apprenticeship and worked as an assistant for the photographer Anna Riwkin-Brick. This was at the same time that the photographer Eva Siao also worked there. At that time Anna Riwkin-Brick's focus lay in portraits and dance photography. Ellen Dahlberg preferred socio-documentary photography even though she was often told that a woman could never become a press photographer.
Ellen Dahlberg learned the basics of professional photography at the Riwkin-Brick studio. She also took evening classes to further her photography skills and she began to do photojournalism. Ellen Dahlberg would take her pictures in the evenings, sometimes at the harbour in Gamla stan (the old town of Stockholm) and she managed to sell some of her images. Although she received 25 Swedish kronor for her first sold picture it was never published. However, Carl-Adam Nycop, a journalist and editor, began commissioning images which did get published. Ellen Dahlberg often worked for him over the ensuing years. Her first major series of photojournalistic images was undertaken during a journey she made in Nils Holgersson's footsteps.
Ellen Dahlberg married the journalist Nils Dahlberg in 1940. In the early 1940s they jointly produced journalistic reports which they sold to Swedish journals such as SE, Folket i Bild, the weekly Vi, the SSU journal Frihet, Socialdemokraten, Statanställd as well as other trades and weekly publications. In 1943 the couple produced several reports for Se which were typical of their usual working style: "Slummen i folkhemmet" (Slums within the welfare state) (nr.8), "Norrlands fattigdom jagas på flykten" (Poverty in Norrland on the run) (nr.14), "Vad får man för 1:50?"(What can you get for 1.50 kronor?) (nr.15) and "Sverige börjar bli rustat till tänderna!" (Sweden is becoming armed to the teeth!) (nr.21). These articles and the accompanying images testified to their social activism and sought to reveal social wrongs and failings.
Ellen Dahlberg's archive testifies to the many different themes she covered. She also sold her images to foreign publications, such as National Geographic. Despite being often asked to do fashion photography and to work for weeklies such as Vecko-Revyn Ellen Dahlberg turned them down.
Ellen and Nils Dahlberg went on two photojournalistic trips to South America, in 1944-1945 and in 1947. They began their first trip from occupied Norway and their first stop was Buenos Aires in Argentina. During the sea-crossing Ellen Dahlberg taught herself Spanish so that she could better communicate with any people she met. The couple also visited the Caribbean and North America during this trip. Crossing the Atlantic in 1944, as a Jewish German refugee, was a precarious undertaking, but their journey went smoothly. Ellen Dahlberg generated a lot of attention in South America in her role as a female photographer. She and her husband travelled throughout the countryside, far from those places where camera film could be acquired or where they could fix her camera should it get damaged. Thus, for safety's sake Ellen Dahlberg travelled with two Rolleiflex cameras. She covered the South American sugar and coffee plantations, cotton plantations, rubber-production and the working environment. Her reports from South America were sold to North America and the rest of the world through an agent in New York. The second trip to South America was undertaken as an official press journey with SAS. During that trip – which lasted three months – the couple were tasked with taking pictures on behalf of various Swedish companies.
Ellen Dahlberg also travelled in Turkey, documenting daily life there. She also travelled to Morocco and produced a report on worksites in Marrakesh. Ellen Dahlberg's reports, even when she was taking pictures in Sweden, often focused on the workers.
In 1949 Ellen Dahlberg was asked if she wanted to be part of the Unga fotografer exhibition along with ten other photographers, including Rune Hassner, Tore Johnson, Lennart Nilsson, Sven Gillsäter and Hans Malmberg. Only two women were involved in the exhibition, namely Ellen Dahlbeg and Astrid Bergman Sucksdorff. All of the participating photographers had been abroad and travelled after the end of the Second World War and their desire to experiment meant that a radical new element was introduced into Swedish photography. Martin Strömberg at Stockholms-Tidningen wrote how "they formed a heterogeneous group which was stimulatingly uneven. These eleven have one thing in common – a fresh joy in discovery and freedom from convention and limitations". Ellen Dahlberg supplied nine images for the exhibition. One of her images, Karusellen, was published as part of the Foto journal article on the exhibition that same year. This image is of the lights from a moving a carousel surrounded by darkness. The exhibition garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews. Ellen Dahlberg's photograph entitled Manhattan cocktail also gained attention, both positive and negative. The picture, taken using long exposure, is of the city lights moving at night. It is perhaps the most often published Ellen Dahlberg photograph. The Unga fotografer exhibition was, in itself, partly a form of protest against the unwritten rules which dominated photography at the time, such as the requirement that an image had to comprise the entire grey scale between white and black.
Ellen Dahlberg held her first and only solo exhibition in 1987, entilted Barn jag mött – en tidsspegel 1940–1985, at Kulturhuset in Stockholm. The photographs, all taken for Ellen Dahlberg's many photojournalism commissions, came from her archive. The exhibition aimed to reveal the changes which had occurred in society from the 1940s up to the mid-1980s within the spheres of social welfare, healthcare, schooling, family life, working life, and more. "Today's city kids are ready to pay for that which rural kids of yesteryear were forced to do" was one of the press releases. The journal Tiden had an eight-page photography report in which all the images and words were by Ellen Dahlberg. She had begun to write the texts for all her reports following her husband's death in 1981.
In 2017 an exhibition was held on three pioneering women: Alma Haag, Ellen Dahlberg, and Ragnhild Haarstad. All of these women had been early photojournalists in Sweden. The exhibition was called Upphovsmannen är en kvinna: Alma Haag, Ellen Dahlberg och Ragnhild Haarstad and was first held in Marabouparken in Sundbyberg in 2017, and then, the following year, at the Museum of Women's History in Umeå and at the Kulturen in Lund. The Museum of Women's History also published an exhibition catalogue bearing the same title.
Ellen Dahlberg, along with Ragnhild Haarstad and Ulla Lemberg, were also the subject of a documentary film called Upphovsmannen var en kvinna by Wanda Bendjelloul, Arianna Bommarco Catomeris and Katarina Hellberg, which was shown on SVT in 2017. The film describes how women have been involved in professional photography and have fought for equal recognition to their male counterparts for over a century. Ellen Dahlberg's archive of around 50,000 images was deposited with the IMS Bildbyrå (known as NordicPhotos since 2019) in September 2000.
Ellen Dahlberg spent all her life working as a freelance photographer, never joining any one particular publication. She never published a book of her own but was often commissioned to illustrate other people's books. She was active until she decided to retire in 1989.
Ellen Dahlberg died in 2019. She was then 98 years old.

Coffee or shopping? | I'm hard of hearing, so what? Coffee or shopping? – I'm hard of hearing, so what?
Always, when I have finished my workout, I do a quick shopping and then head home where I enjoy a coffee with my husband if he is home. Today I did not have to go shopping as usual and so went straight home. Once at home I heard my husband asking "Do you want coffee?" I answered yes. Then he asked, "what did you get?". I was very surprised and asked him what he meant. Then he said " I asked you if you went shopping and you said yes…!" "oh…" Ok, in the name of honesty I have to say that I wasn't listening fully when he asked the question because I was expecting the coffee question and not the one he asked.
Similar things like this happen everyday and my strategy in that case is to repeat what I think I hear. This sometimes leads to strange situations and fits of laughter. A conversation with cats for example would be much easier: they only use one Miauw with diverse tones and intensities. Even if they cannot really speak, cats know how to make themselves understood. Maybe we should take a page out of their book.
I imagine that to be somewhat like this: we only have one word for everything, in different variations, and loudnesses, and so on and use our body language for expression. Would that really work or is my fantasy running away with me? Can this be scientifically tested? If yes, then I will for sure talk about this some more here.
Sometimes one should not take oneself too seriously. And my husband did end up making the coffee for me this morning!

Jake Gyllenhaal Helped Bring About 'Halloween' Sequel?

Severa months ago I read an interesting book: Everything I Want to Do is Illegal, by Joel Salatin, a libertarian, Christian, semi-organic farmer who just wants to be left alone. A great read. I highly recommend it!
One of the things that really stuck in my mind, though, was a comment that individuals need to have the freedom to explore new possibilities, but are prevented by numerous regulations. If I wanted to try to make and sell cheese, for example, I can't just make a small batch in my kitchen, and then take it to the local farmer's market...in the (largely mythical) interest of Public Safety, I need to buy hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stainless steel vats, precise thermometers, and whatnot, and be prepared for the various fines I might face when a random bureaucrat tries to enforce some obscure law.
Shall not be required to insure themselves against sickness or injury that may result from their product, but may still be held liable for such sickness or injury.
FURTHERMORE, BE IT RESOLVED that any such small business, so long as its products are kept within State boundaries, are not subject to the various regulations passed by the United States Congress, nor its many regulatory agencies.
I feel as though I've left something out, but I can't put my finger on it at the moment--the napkin I originally wrote this on is still packed away, somewhere...but even if I had the napkin, I still would liked to have taken steps to "bullet-proof" the law. For example, I didn't want "retaining a lawyer" or "contracting an accountant" or even "hiring a plumber" to count as "employing" someone, for purposes of this law, except where it's a clear part of the business model. In any case, this is the gist of it!
What about zoning laws that control for fire & rescue access?
That would be another example of a detail I hadn't thought about, that I would like to iron out. I mostly want to do away with the zoning laws that keep a small farmer from slaughtering a small number of cows on his own farm, or from putting up a small band saw as a saw-mill...or from someone setting up a shop in his garage for building and/or repairing cars.
The ideal would be to set up something general, rather than make minute exceptions to every rule! It's the small details that overwhelm an individual.
"FURTHERMORE, BE IT RESOLVED that any such small business, so long as its products are kept within State boundaries, are not subject to the various regulations passed by the United States Congress, nor its many regulatory agencies."
Honestly, I wouldn't limit it to only intrastate commerce. With internet sales and easy shipping, many small businesses actually do more business outside of their state than in. Say, for instance, a small custom holster maker who does most of his business on the web. In fact, it's often easier to have a pure internet store than a physical store.
Although I agree with you about that portion, I have a reason for it: to emphasize that the Federal Government should leave small businesses alone.
I recently heard about a bricklaying business that literally consisted of a man and his nephew, being hit by OSHA fines. If such a small operation is "interstate commerce", then what the heck isn't?
"Although I agree with you about that portion, I have a reason for it: to emphasize that the Federal Government should leave small businesses alone."
I see what you mean, but I don't see how limiting it to intrastate commerce creates that emphasis. It could be me - I do have an embarrassing tendency to miss the glaringly obvious, while picking up on the deep subtle issue that the obvious point actually addresses. But I would think that specifically stating that the exemption covers interstate and intrastate commerce would make it a stronger emphasis.
"If such a small operation is "interstate commerce", then what the heck isn't?"
According to the feds? Nothing. When SCOTUS ruled that growing your own grain for your personal use - not even giving it away, just using it for yourself and your immediate family - fell under the Interstate Commerce Clause because it meant you weren't buying wheat that was sold across state lines (thus having a "substantial effect on interstate commerce), they essentially threw out any and all limits to the Federal government's powers. It's just taking a while to reach the full consequences of that decision.


We first discovered the work of Parisian photographer Rémi Procureur by Instagram and immediately fell in love with his soft, romantic style. There are intricately embellished gowns hanging from racks and models on mobile phones while draped in couture, empty chairs awaiting guests and quiet moments before the shows begin. The photographer also includes a haunting series of abandoned Paris apartments, but our favourites are these imitate behind the scenes moments . . .

Costume shop owner Margo Tamblyn faces a deadly conspiracy when a small-town festival turns into big-time trouble.
It's no secret around Proper City, Nevada, that the Sagebrush Festival, the town's annual family-friendly event, is the place to be. This year's theme of board games has everything from Conspiracy to Clue. Margo Tamblyn's costume shop, Disguise DeLimit, has been tasked with providing costumes for the festival headliner, the Domino Divas. But on the night of the performance, one fallen Domino threatens to bring down the whole show when head dancer Ronnie Cass is found in her dressing room, unmasked, unprepared, and very, very dead.
As the police investigate, Margo learns that Don Digby, her father's best friend, is the prime suspect, tied to the victim by an unsolved robbery connected to Proper City's past. As conspiracies abound and theories are debunked, Margo seeks to unmask the real killer before her dad's buddy winds up in a costume made with prison stripes.

A few minutes before the church services started, the congregation was sitting in their pews and talking.
Suddenly, Satan appeared on the altar of the church.
Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.
Soon the church was empty except for one elderly cowboy who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.
'Aren't you afraid of me?' Satan asked.
'Nope, sure ain't.' said the cowboy.
'Don't you realize I can kill you with one word?' asked Satan.
'Don't doubt it for a minute,' returned the old man, in an even tone.
'Did you know that I can cause you profound, horrifying AGONY for all eternity?' persisted Satan.
'Yep,' was the calm reply.
'And you are still not afraid of me?' asked Satan.
'Nope,' said the old cowboy.

Q: abstract algebra permutation I am dealing with a permutation in the form:
$a=\begin{pmatrix}1 &2 &3 &4 &5 &6 \\
  3 &1 &4 &5 &6 &2
\end{pmatrix}$
I am asked to find $|< a >|$ and $a^{100}$. I don't really understand how to do so. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: These questions were on Page 83 of A First Course In Abstract Algebra, by John B. Fraleigh. I don't know what functions the brackets | | or < > are meant to perform.

A: Decompose $a$ as a product of disjoint cycles: you should find find$$a=(1\,5)(2\,4\,6\,3)$$
Hence the order of $a$ is the l.c.m. of the orders of cycles components, i.e. the l.c.m. of the lengths of the cycles.

FIFPro urges players to end contracts if mistreated
By Mosimanegape Tshoswane
Football players of various leagues within the African continent, including Botswana, have been given a new lease of life by the International Federation of Professional Footballers (FIFPro), in conjunction with Footballers Union Botswana (FUB) to demand their dues from their clubs within specified parameters.
Following the unprecedented disruption caused by COVID-19 at all levels of football, FifPro has worked on a series of recommendations and guidelines to address some of the key practical issues arising from the pandemic, especially with regard to player contracts and the transfer system generally.
A new ruling by the Federation of International Football (FIFA) a global football governing body, which took close to 18 months to be addressed, agrees that players who are owed salaries by their clubs, or mistreated anyhow be allowed to break their contracts.
These players will then be able to seek compensation after breaking their contracts. As a punishment, it is further indicated that clubs that refuse to pay players will be banned from taking part in selling, loaning and buying of players as the transfer window is extended.
The rule comes to effect in the midst of the corona virus pandemic that has left football with a bleak future. However, FIFA together Footballers Union note that a lot of work still has to be done for African players to finally walk to the gates of justice.� It is indicated that in many cases, football players plying their trade in Africa either have no work contracts let alone copies of the documents.
A survey carried out by football union bodies within Africa under the theme; Global Employment Report, indicates that there are over 40% of players who reported cases of overdue payments.
In Gabon alone, a country that has twice hosted the African soccer piece (AFCON) has recorded the highest incidence of delayed pay in the world. The percentage stands at 96% followed unbelievably by Tunisia with 94%.� Botswana has recorded 41% thus far while South Africa recorded low cases with 25%. Ghana comes last with 23%.
It is further observed that these players often times chose to remain playing despite dire conditions as they harbour dreams of snatching a contract with Europeans clubs or where conditions are better to finally start earning big monies. This is the case because local clubs often play a key role in transfers by issuing required paper work.
The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly had a major impact on the revenues of clubs, not least since matches cannot be played. Football, like other sectors of the economy, has to find fair and equitable solutions tailored to these circumstances, hopefully with a view to protecting jobs and achieving a fair and reasonable balance of interests between players and clubs.
Accordingly, FIFPro strongly encourages clubs and players to work together to find agreements and solutions during the period when football is suspended.
While it is primarily up to the relevant parties at national level to find solutions to fit the circumstances in their own country, FIFA recommends looking at all aspects of each situation in an even handed manner, including what government measures there are to support clubs and players, whether pay should be deferred or reduced and what insurance coverage may exist.

What is a chair, for example? One of our most fundamental props, we largely can't imagine otherwise. But what exactly are we doing when we sit in a chair? In this graduate workshop for educators, we look at the role of chairs in educational spaces. From the arrangement of banal and interested space to the urgency of musical chairs, to the intricacy of postural adjustment, we work with and develop the sculptural and performative affordances of the common classroom chair.

Shane Horgan was standing pitchside for as Ireland ground out a win against Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday.
The former Ireland international felt while the result was positive, the quality of rugby was not what we have come to expect from Joe Schmidt's side.
Speaking on Virgin Media One on Sunday, Horgan said he thought Ireland had played with a less complicated game plan against Scotland.
"You've got to separate the result from the quality of rugby," said Horgan.
The result was fantastic and really necessary and Ireland had to put themselves in a position like that. The quality of rugby was poor, particularly in the second half. Although we did retain the ball for periods, we had great possession, great territory but we didn't look very smart or sophisticated in the way we were playing.
Our structure wasn't particularly good, especially in the opposition 22. Given the shock of the performance before this, to some degree it was understandable why they started playing a much more reduced game plan. They made their lives harder by doing that but I can understand why.
Matt Williams also offered some mitigating circumstances for the far from spectacular Irish performance.
"We've got to acknowledge that there's no Ringrose, no Henshaw, they had Chris Farrell come in; you lost Johnny Sexton during the game, Joey came in. It was a very disrupted backline," said Williams.
"They probably lost a little bit of leadership and a general around the field; Joey, maybe that's something he has to work on - where Johnny Sexton would be demanding.
"Henshaw at 12 is more demanding than Bundee Aki; he's more of a power athlete. When they get Bundee Aki into being a ball player - a second-five as they call it in New Zealand - that's not his game. Yesterday, while he didn't play badly, it was his least effective performance for Ireland. When your 12's not going forward, that really affects your go-forward [ball] for the whole team.
"Job done. I did think that the lack of a bonus point will come back to be a real pain in the future."
Horgan also showed how a lack of structure from Ireland in attack made them less potent.


We conduct Applied Research in order to solve practical problems. Thus, our research is designed in close collaboration with our partners. To solve practical problems we first gain critical background information from all relevant stakeholders; often meeting with numerous people on installations and in communities. With in-depth understanding of problems and challenges, we work with our partners to develop science-based solutions to those problems. Often we engage in program evaluation, and the systematic and continuous review of programs for service members and families. Ultimately, program evaluations and program reviews help professionals make informed decisions about which programs best fit their community's identified need(s).


Purchase order finance is a method of finance where the bank uses the purchase order awarded to a company, as a security for a short-term loan or overdraft.
The bank does not finance banned goods, anything that may be harmful to the environment, perishable goods such as vegetables and services such as maintenance or protracted installation contracts. When we analyse the purchase order given to the company we also examine the types of goods that they must deliver before the customer gets paid.
To provide the bank with a purchase order, at the very minimum there must a clear price and amount and quantity and description of goods, a latest delivery date and the terms of payment - whether the goods are payable upon or after installation.
Do non-FNB customers qualify for purchase order finance?
Purchase order finance is offered to customers who have an account with FNB. If the company does not have an account it must first open an account then apply for purchase order finance.
Who does not qualify for purchase order finance?
The bank excludes construction projects for purchase order finance. It also excludes types of project that require high degree of performance before they customer receives payment. It is suited for straight forward delivery contracts where the company sources merchandise and delivers it to the relevant buyer based on the purchase order awarded.


You are here: Home / Make Money Online / What Warrants a Broadcast Email Autoresponder?
An email autoresponder system lets you reach out and contact your subscribers in two ways. You can set up a series of follow up emails that get automatically dripped out over time. Or, you can blast out what's known as a Broadcast email to your list at any time you'd like!
Keep in mind that these people have given you their trust. They handed over some very valuable information to them – their name and email address at minimum. So you want to treat that information with respect, not go filling their email inbox with dozens of messages each day. That's a quick way to whittle down your subscriber list.
Broadcast emails should be used sparingly if you already have a follow up system in place. You don't want your customers getting two emails per day from you. One is about the most your subscribers will want (and some won't even want that many).
What goes into a broadcast email? Several things are appropriate. You might be the kind of person who has zero follow-up emails, so your daily broadcast can be less urgent – something where you simply touch base with your readers and discuss topics of your choice within the niche.
If follow ups are already in place, then choose to use your broadcasts for items of a more urgent nature. For example, if you have a sale that's going to last for 48 hours, go ahead and blast your list to let them know about it.
Perks are always welcome, too. If you have a special code or coupon your prospect or customer can use to receive a freebie or discount, then by all means go ahead and blast that out!
The same goes for any freebies you have to offer in the form of immediate downloads. You can tailor your message to say you didn't want them to have to wait for this amazing gift, so you're sending it out ASAP.
Important news can be blasted out in a broadcast message. For example, if you discover something alarming that could have a detrimental effect on your target audience, it would be seen as a courtesy to rush the news to their inbox.
Broadcast emails are often preferred by email marketers because follow ups have to be tended to over time. If you have a follow up email that includes a link that goes bad, or even content that becomes irrelevant, and you have hundreds of follow ups in your queue, it can difficult to prune those from your communications.
If you use broadcast emails only, make sure you do set up at least one follow up email – your welcome message. You don't want someone to subscribe to a bimonthly email newsletter the day after yours goes out and have to wait two weeks before they ever hear from you. So get the greeting over with and reiterate which days they will be hearing from you.

Handbooks on Radiocommunications
Terrestrial and Satellite Digital Sound Broadcasting to Vehicular, Portable and Fixed Receivers in the VHF/UHF Bands
Propagation Considerations in the Frequency Range 30-3000 MHz
DSB Handbook
This Handbook describes the system and service requirements for digital sound broadcasting (DSB) to vehicular, portable and fixed receivers, the related propagation factors, the techniques employed in the digital sound broadcasting systems, and considers relevant planning parameters and sharing conditions.
http://handle.itu.int/11.1002/pub/800c9498-en
The design, and as a consequence the cost of a terrestrial and satellite sound broadcasting system, is strongly dependent on the factors affecting the propagation characteristics on, respectively, the terrestrial and space-to-Earth path to the vehicular receiver in particular, and generally, to a lesser extent, to the portable receiver. The propagation path is subject to attenuation by shadowing due to buildings, trees, and other foliage; and to multipath fading due to diffuse scattering from the ground and nearby obstacles such as trees and buildings. The degree of impairment to the received signal level depends on the operating frequency, the receiving antenna height, the elevation angle to the satellite, and the type of environment in which the receiver is operating: whether it is an open, rural, wooded or mountainous, suburban or dense urban environment.

The truth is that leaving the markets means leaving all profit opportunity behind.
That's why we have a new list of our best stocks to buy now.
Markets have been volatile as investors brace for the Fed QE tapering. While equities have handsomely rewarded year to date, and more gains are expected, some analysts see an inevitable correction in the near future. With that in mind, Money Morning Capital Wave Strategist Shah Gilani – also called "the Reluctant Bull" – said he's keeping a close eye on what's developing and shares with readers how to invest in a down market.
In August, investors already have yanked $20 billion from bond funds, and outflows will hit $500 billion by the end of the year. It's all part of the Fed taper fear consuming investors. That means there's a new way to play bonds for big gains – and investors should act now. Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald shares some of the best moves readers can make in the bond market and why they can't wait.
Gold gained 2% last week, ending at an 11-week high. We've been advising readers for weeks that a fresh gold run was approaching, even though it's been a tough year for gold investors. The yellow metal is off a painful 17% since January. But gold bugs will love this chart Money Morning found that suggests a strong rally is under way for the precious metal. Money Morning Global Resource Specialist Peter Krauth's take on the chart: "After $1,350, the next intermediate target is around $1,420. Beyond that level, I agree that around $1,480 is the following target. But the biggest prize will be $1,550, which also acted as support from mid-February all the way to mid-April."

A friend has forwarded a Google news alert to me about a new initiative for Conductive Education in New Zealand. Craig Nielsen, parent of a child with cerebral palsy hopes to establish a new centre at Taranaki, a region in the North West of North Island.
"We want to establish a centre or a facility that can deal with children from birth or a young age through to include their school age," he said.
I wish the best of luck to all concerned.
New hope for those with Parkinson's Disease?
Trials for new drugs are being carried on all the time which gives hope to those with progressive, and incurable diseases.
Today I was sent a link to The New Scientist which reports on a new drug working well with some late stage sufferers of Parkinson's disease.
The results of a small trial of 12 patients has been presented at the Neuroscience Meeting 2015 in Chicago this weekend, which seem too good to be true.
"We've seen patients at end stages of the disease coming back to life," says Charbel Moussa of Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington DC, who led the trial.
the nilotinib trial changed his life. As his disease worsened, he had many falls, needed his wife's help to get out of bed and he considered taking his own life. While deep brain stimulation helped treat the rigidity of his body, it wasn't a cure, so he enrolled in the nilotinib trial. Within a matter of weeks, he was able to make the bed, and read a book for the first time in years.
Further bigger trials are called for by experts in the field.
Sadly, the effect doesn't last, and when the volunteers were taken off the drug at the end of the trial, they started to deteriorate again …. Many have since tried to get hold of the drug themselves, but it costs a whopping $10,000 a month.
has been named charity partner for the local football team, Preston North End which has been a big boost financially.
… in a sorry state.
Thanks to the generosity of Mr Hemmings and his associates, Legacy Rainbow House has now finished off – and opened – a brand new building.
In these difficult financial times some centres must be finding it difficult to maintain the services they offer and the number of staff needed, so it is good to hear that one centre has been helped to carry for the moment.
Good luck to them and all those in similar positions.

Plans to Harness Chinese River's Power Threaten a Region
Andrew Jacobs
The Nu River Valley

Originally published in The New York Times
BINGZHONGLUO, China - From its crystalline beginnings as a rivulet seeping from a glacier on the Tibetan Himalayas to its broad, muddy amble through the jungles of Myanmar, the Nu River is one of Asia's wildest waterways, its 1,700-mile course unimpeded as it rolls toward the Andaman Sea.
But the Nu's days as one of the region's last free-flowing rivers are dwindling. The Chinese government stunned environmentalists this year by reviving plans to build a series of hydropower dams on the upper reaches of the Nu, the heart of a Unesco World Heritage site in China's southwest Yunnan Province that ranks among the world's most ecologically diverse and fragile places.
Critics say the project will force the relocation of tens of thousands of ethnic minorities in the highlands of Yunnan and destroy the spawning grounds for a score of endangered fish species. Geologists warn that constructing the dams in a seismically active region could threaten those living downstream. Next month, Unesco is scheduled to discuss whether to include the area on its list of endangered places.
Among the biggest losers could be the millions of farmers and fishermen across the border in Myanmar and Thailand who depend on the Salween, as the river is called in Southeast Asia, for their sustenance. "We're talking about a cascade of dams that will fundamentally alter the ecosystems and resources for downstream communities that depend on the river," said Katy Yan, China program coordinator at International Rivers, an advocacy group.
Suspended in 2004 by Wen Jiabao, then the prime minister, and officially resuscitated shortly before his retirement in March, the project is increasing long-simmering regional tensions over Beijing's plans to dam or divert a number of rivers that flow from China to other thirsty nations in its quest to bolster economic growth and reduce the country's dependency on coal.
According to its latest energy plan, the government aims to begin construction on about three dozen hydroelectric projects across the country, which together will have more than twice the hydropower capacity of the United States.
So far China has been largely unresponsive to the concerns of its neighbors, among them India, Kazakhstan, Myanmar, Russia and Vietnam. Since 1997, China has declined to sign a United Nations water-sharing treaty that would govern the 13 major transnational rivers on its territory. "To fight for every drop of water or die" is how China's former water resources minister, Wang Shucheng, once described the nation's water policy.
Here in Bingzhongluo, a peaceful backpacker magnet, those who treasure the fast-moving, jade-green beauty of the Nu say the four proposed dams in Yunnan and the one already under construction in Tibet would irrevocably alter what guidebooks refer to as the Grand Canyon of the East. A soaring, 370-mile-long gorge carpeted with thick forests, the area is home to roughly half of China's animal species, many of them endangered, including the snow leopard, the black snub-nosed monkey and the red panda.
Clinging improbably to the alpine peaks are mist-shrouded villages whose residents are among the area's dozen or so indigenous tribes, most with their own languages. "The project will be good for the local government, but it will be a disaster for the local residents," said Wan Li, 42, who in 2003 left behind his big-city life as an accountant in the provincial capital, Kunming, to open a youth hostel here. "They will lose their culture, their traditions and their livelihood, and we will be left with a placid, lifeless reservoir."
As one of two major rivers in China still unimpeded by dams, the Nu has a fiercely devoted following among environmentalists who have grown despondent over the destruction of many of China's waterways. The Ministry of Water Resources released a survey in March saying that 23,000 rivers had disappeared entirely and many of the nation's most storied rivers had become degraded by pollution. The mouth of the Yellow River is little more than an effluent-fouled trickle, and the once-mighty Yangtze has been tamed by the Three Gorges Dam, a $25 billion project that displaced 1.4 million people.
For many advocates, the Nu has become something of a last stand. "Why can't China have just one river that isn't destroyed by humans?" asked Wang Yongchen, a well-known environmentalist in Beijing who has visited the area a dozen times in recent years.
Opponents say it is no coincidence that the project was revived shortly before the retirement of Mr. Wen, a populist whose decision to halt construction was hailed as a landmark victory for the nation's fledgling environmental movement. Although he did not kill the project, Mr. Wen, a trained geologist, vowed it would not proceed without an exhaustive environmental impact assessment.
No such assessment has been released. Given the government's goal of generating 15 percent of the nation's electricity from non-fossil fuel by 2020, few expect environmental concerns to slow the project, even if the original plan of 13 dams on the Nu has for now been scaled back to 5. "Building a dam is about managing conflicts between man and nature, but without a scientific understanding of this project, it can only lead to calamity," said Yang Yong, a geologist and an environmentalist.
Some experts say that China has little choice but to move forward with dams on the Nu, given the nation's voracious power needs and an overreliance on coal that has contributed to record levels of smog in Beijing and other northern cities. Still, many environmentalists reject the government's assertion that hydropower is "green energy," noting that reservoirs created by dams swallow vast amounts of forest and field.
Also overlooked, they say, is the methane gas and carbon dioxide produced by decomposing vegetation, significant contributors to global warming.
"By depicting dams as green, China is seeking to justify its dam-building spree," said Brahma Chellaney, a water resources expert at the Center for Policy Research in New Delhi. Mr. Chellaney said that Beijing had also failed to take into account the huge amounts of silt retained by dams that invariably deprive downstream farmers of the seasonal nutrients that have traditionally replenished overworked soil.
That the Nu has remained untouched even as China has corralled most of its rivers is a testament to the isolation of northwest Yunnan, a two-day drive from Kunming along a white-knuckle road carved into the canyon walls. Every few miles are the scars of recent landslides, a jarring reminder of the area's geologic instability.
Despite the 2004 moratorium, work on the Nu River dams never really stopped, although Huadian, the state-owned hydropower giant, has ramped up planning efforts since the Chinese government removed any obstacles.
Late last month, as dusk fell on Maji, a proposed dam site, the sound of explosions echoed through the valley as workers, toiling around the clock, blasted test holes deep into canyon walls. Li Jiawang, 33, a laborer, said engineers were still trying to determine whether the rock was strong enough to support a dam several hundred feet high.
Huadian did not respond to interview requests, nor did the Ministry of Water Resources. But word that the project is moving forward has already drawn many outsiders, threatening to upend the delicate patchwork of ethnic populations. Hong Feng, 45, a migrant from Hunan Province who recently opened a roadside shop near Maji, said that most of his customers were dam workers from other parts of China. "We're here to make our fortune, and then we'll leave," he said.
Most of the estimated 60,000 people who are likely to be displaced from the flooded, fertile lowlands do not have that option. They are largely subsistence farmers, and with nearly every level patch of land spoken for, many will be relocated to dense housing complexes like the one in New Xiaoshaba, a 124-unit project begun before the dam project was suspended.
"We used to grow so many watermelons we couldn't eat them all, but now we have to buy everything," said Li Tian, 25, a member of the Lisu ethnic group whose family was evicted from its land and who now works part time in a walnut processing plant.
While local leaders have been tight-lipped about relocation plans, they have worked hard in recent years to cast the project as a gift that will alleviate poverty in one of China's poorest regions.
But Yu Shangping, 26, a farmer in Chala, a picturesque jumble of wooden houses hard by the Nu, objects to the notion that he and his neighbors are impoverished, saying the land and the river provide for nearly all their needs. "We've worked hard to build this place," he said, "but when the government wants to construct a dam, there's nothing you can do about it."

On Monday Fletcher got his glasses! He is absolutely adorable in them! He's wearing them to school and during his therapies. He's been great with his glasses! I was sure it was going to be a big waste of money like it was with the last pair! On Tuesday in speech therapy I got to feed him lemon pudding and pink lemonade to drink! He tolerated it so well! He's added a full sentence in his sign language! He says, 'I want more food!' I am sooooo proud! Tomorrow after Maddie gets out of school I'm going to take her to see Fletcher. She hasn't seen him in about 2 weeks. She's very excited to get the opportunity to see her Bubba!
We're going to have a full weekend! Kayleigh has two basketball games on Saturday, we're also going to a my nephew's 3rd birthday party (Happy Birthday, Gabe!) and Kayleigh has a youth function! It ought to be a lot of fun! Hope you all have a great weekend, too!
Fletcher in his new glasses! Isn't he cute?
Awww...he is so cute!! I just can't believe how big he is getting. Thanks for making this page, I will be watching it daily!
Um, yes, he is VERY cute!
he is so adorable in those glasses!!
The glasses are too cute... sorry it's taken me so long to post a comment. Just now had time to read it. Love to hear what's going on (but like talking on the phone better). :) LYMI!!!
He is the most a-dorable sweet little boy!! He makes me smile every time I see him. Thank you for doing this site, it means a lot for those of us who don't get to see him everyday. Love you!

The condo was perfect for my husband, my son and myself, nice layout, everything we needed was there, it had a great pool and water view. They were responsive to questions and the check-in was quick. The workout room was well-equipped and clean. We were there during spring break, so maybe our main complaints wouldn't be applicable to other weeks, but the multiple security codes to any and all doors or gates, the security guy constantly patrolling and asking to see our wrist bands at the pool and work out room, really got annoying. Also, the WiFi was useless, even though we appropriately entered all the sign ins and passwords. We had to just use our data plan all week. The front desk said something was wrong with the cable and were of no help.
So, really nice condo and amenities, but the over the top security and no WiFi would put a return visit on our part in doubt.
Hi Ruth, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of your stay. We're pleased to hear the condo was perfect for your family and you enjoyed the great pool views. We would like to apologize for the inconveniences you experienced here. We are sorry to hear that the Palms staff was a bit exuberant in enforcing spring break policies. They are managing a huge building so have to be strict out of necessity. We did some checking and couldn't find where you had contacted us regarding the Wi-Fi. We will forward your comments to our Operations Dept. to assess. Again, thank you for your feedback.
Hi Kristy, thank you for your feedback on your stay at this lovely condo. We're happy to hear you found the room clean and we hope you enjoyed the many amenities the Palms has to offer. Thank you again for your feedback and thank you for staying with Real Joy!
We had a great time. Condo was very nice and well kept, would stay again!
Hi Regan, thank you for your feedback on this lovely condo. We are pleased you enjoyed the well kept unit and hope you relaxed in the huge lagoon style pool as well! Again thank you for your input and choosing RealJoy as your rental provider!
One thing you might look into. Although preference the master bed was quite uncomfortable.
Hi Chad, thank you for your feedback on your stay at this lovely condo. We're pleased to hear you found the unit clean and comfortable and enjoyed the amenities. We will forward your comments to our Operations Dept. to assess. Thank you again for your feedback and thank you for staying with Real Joy!
Hi Kawan, thank you for your feedback on your stay at this lovely condo. We're happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and found everything beautiful and we hope you enjoyed the awesome lagoon pool! Thank you again for your feedback and thank you for booking with Real Joy!
The condo was great everything you need even a washer and dryer to wash all the beach/pool items everyday. The pool was perfect for children. I know other reviewers complain about the parking garage being a distance, and it is, but it's just how the condo complex is set up, so its a distance for them all. We didnt mind though. The only suggestion I would have is to have a slide and lock for the main entry door. For a condo that has children, it would have been very easy for my 2yr old son to escape. The extra protection would have been nice. We had to place a chair in front of the door since his room was right next to the entry way and would be very hard to hear him up from the Master room. Also there are not coffee filters for the pot, so we left the ones we bought behind. And simple things like salt and pepper. Also bring Laundry detergent if you plan to use the washer. But really no complaints, just suggestions for a easier vacation. Everything was great and clean and most likely we will return.
Hi Michelle. Thank you for your feedback on your stay at this lovely condo. We're happy to hear you found this unit great and had everything you needed during your stay. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the pool area and found it great for the kids! We value your referrals and hope you will come back to see us! We will pass along your recommendations to our property management team to assess. Thanks again for your feedback and thank you for staying with Real Joy!

Reconciliation and consolation in captive bonobos (Pan paniscus)
Although reconciliation in bonobos (Pan paniscus) has previously been described, it has not been analyzed heretofore by the postconflict (PC) match-control (MC) method. Furthermore, although reconciliation has been investigated before in this species, consolation has not. In this study we analyzed agonistic and affiliative contacts in all sex-class combinations to clarify and reevaluate the occurrence of reconciliation in bonobos via the PC-MC method. We also investigated the occurrence of consolation by analyzing the victims' triadic contact tendency (TCT), the influence of the sex of victims, and the relative occurrence of consolation and reconciliation. We collected 167 pairs of PC-MC observations in a captive group of bonobos (in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands). The conciliatory tendency (CCT) we obtained was tendentially lower than the mean value previously found for Yerkes captive chimpanzees. Close relationships, which were present in all female–female (FF) and some male–female (MF) dyads, positively affected reconciliation rates. When only adult PCMC pairs (157) were considered, the mean TCTs and CCTs did not differ significantly. When we focused on types of PC affiliative contact, in the case of consolation we found a striking preference for sociosexual patterns. As to the relative occurrence of consolation and reconciliation, the highest level of the former was found in the absence of the latter. When reconciliation took place, consolation generally preceded it, suggesting that consolation may be a substitutive behavior. Our findings suggest that even if reconciliation remains the best option, consolation may be an alternative substitute for reconciliation that is used to buffer the tension originating from an unresolved conflict. Reconciliation and consolation are complex phenomena that are probably related to the life history of a group. Given that few studies have been conducted on this subject, we can not at this time make any generalizations regarding conflict resolution in certain species by comparing results among studies.

I have the name my parents gave me on my birth certificate and I have many other names as well. Some of them are cutsie names bestowed on me by boyfriends past and present (Sugar Booger Bear, Lobster, etc). Some are nicknames given by friends – more or less flattering depending on why they call me that. In junior high, several friends and I had "code names" that we used when writing notes to each other – these were our "rebellious bad girl" alter egos – that with maturity seem pretty silly. (I was J.D. and two of my most common conspirators were Pepe and Angel Dust). And then there is my rockstar name – my stage alter ego for this character who is a much magnified confident facet of me who fears nothing. And who is to say I should limit this? Here on this blog, I am merely "A" – originally meant to be anonymous, but now easy enough to find out. And I have decided I have nothing to hide – so if you know my real name and ask me about this blog – I will not deny it.
A name has power to be certain. If someone knows your name, it gives them a certain claim upon you. They "know" you. When they call out to you, you can pretend you didn't hear, but for the most part you cannot refuse to acknowledge them without a certain implied rudeness. When I call my cat, Rambo, Commando Kitty, she knows her name and looks at me. Depending on my tone, she knows I am angry or pleased – but she always knows whom it is directed towards.
Sometimes there is safety in a new name. One friend of mine has a public artist name to escape toxic relatives. Another who hosted wild parties had a "party" name to separate herself from that character in her professional life. And now with all of these blogs and Facebook accounts and Internet escapades that a future employer may find you by – it certainly behooves you to have an alias for your more adventurous escapades.
BUT you can always change your name. You can do this legally, whether by marriage, divorce, or that you are willing to pay to become someone else. Or, you can always just give yourself a new name. This could be a character you appropriate in your head to give you courage or imagine into adventures (ala "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" by James Thurber) or it could be an alias you use in the real world. Say you have a nickname you really like – keep asking your friends to call you that and eventually they will do it unconsciously. Then, when they introduce you, that will be the name they call you by and Voila! Everyone will know you by that name.

Some asked if frame saw blades can be sharpened and the answer is yes, most of the regular ones can be but not the fancy turbo ones with Japanese teeth. I put this video together to show the simplicity of sharpening them. It takes about 5 five minutes to do and they will last for about 50 years of use even if you are a full time woodworker like me.
Here is the video to watch via YouTube.
Frame saw or bow saw, what's the difference?
Thanks for the sharpening clarifications with the frame saws. Excellent videos and as always super informative. Much appreciated!
Now if only I could find the files. Lee Valley and Lie Nielson don't have but a few of the sizes. They say they can't get them anymore. TWW only has one size.
Looks like a business to get into.
Buy Bahcos, they are as good and so too Tome Fetiera from Portugal.
Do you use the micro-bevel on panel saws etc. as well?
I do. It prolongs the sharpness of the saw's sharpness markedly.
I would be really interested din taking part in one of your wood working classes! How should I do to find some more information about it?
Our schedule for the year is over with the class I am currently teaching this week. Our schedule for next year is not set as yet but we will hopefully work out some dates and let everyone know over the next month when I will be teaching in the coming year.
Thanks very much for this. I bought what is probably the same blade for the frame saw I built and was disappointed with how it worked. I followed your advise and after reducing the set and sharpening the teeth it now works brilliantly. I also have a crosscut blade that may need the same treatment.
Hello Paul, my question isn't about sharpening saws, it's about ripsaws. I recently purchased PAX 4,5 TPI ripsaw and I today tried rip some 2 inch thick rough sawn birch lumber but the saw refused to work. It was getting stucked all the time, no matter how much or little I pressed pressure to the saw? Is 4,5 TPI too little amount teeth per inch? Saw is pretty sharp (as sharp as it is from the factory). Thank You.
Thank you for this video, instructive as usual!
With reference to your previous saw sharpening video detailing the progressive rip-cut pattern, would you suggest using such a pattern on this saw as well? And if so, how would you go about changing the geometry of the teeth on the first couple of inches?
You can soft-start for a longer section because of the length of the blade but these saws are different in that you tend not to be able to apply as much pressure at the furthest point because of the length. that being so, a more passive rake is less necessary, but you can and I do prefer to.
I have watched all 3 videos and am ready to begin making a saw after the masterclasses pattern. I have a question, Highland Woodworking markets a saw with horizontal handles similar to a gent's saw. This is the type of bow saw I am most familiar with. I have also seen saws with a curved handle projecting below the blade on one side. Making the saw in any of these configurations doesn't seem difficult, I was wondering if you might discuss the difference in the three styles in use and if one might be better for a specific task compared to the others. You are an amazing resource and I truly appreciate all the knowledge you bestow.
The saws you mention are all different saws. The one with inline handles are almost always turning saws where the saw blade rotates along its long axis 360-degrees. For much work the coping saw replaced this type of saw because it has such a fine blade and a fine cut. The turning saw can be handy too though and the coping saw did not exactly replace it as the added width gives the ability for longer rips. The saw with the drop handle below the blade was more often used as a buck saw for crosscutting small limbs and branches in a saw buck with the wood being mostly used for fire wood.
The saws I made on masterclasses are more joinery saws for large and small joinery. The wide blade on the one works well when using a longer saw because you get lengthy cuts and beam strength to the blade. The shorter saw with the narrower blade is limited for length but makes an excellent saw for closer, finer work and of course with a metal cutting blade, a great hacksaw.
Thank you very much. Now I have reason to build three saws! Not an unpleasant problem to have.
I guessed that might be the case here, Ron. I have half a dozen hanging around and I doubt the whole lot cost me more than £25. I have different blades in all of them and now I no longer use the standard hacksaw hardly at all. The one I did for YouTube made from spruce is really rock solid and true to cut for tenons.

LTG Aktiengesellschaft looks back on the very successful participation in the ICE Europe last week in Munich. 463 exhibitors made the 11th edition of the International Trade Fair for the Finishing and Converting of Paper, Film & Film bigger than ever before. LTG, too, can look back on a promising participation in the trade fair and thanks all those who visited us as well as all those who made it possible for our participation in the ICE Europe to take place so smoothly.
LTG presented its extensive portfolio for various air technology tasks in the converting industry to international visitors on three busy days. LTG's presence was on the one hand focused on tangential fans, which due their various technical advantages, above all the wide airflow over large areas, contribute to rationalization and efficiency in all converting applications.
The second focus was on LTG Filtration Technology. It ensures clean air in the production and processing of paper, film, foil and nonwovens. Fibers, dusts, granules or edge strips produced and released in the production process can be filtered, compacted, separated or humidified with LTG components and further be processed or recycled. Converting experts, of course, know their production processes inside out, but when it comes to air technological optimization, LTG engineering services can help to find new approaches. Our experienced engineers optimize production processes both in the laboratory and directly at existing plants on-site.
