Tutors help children with learning disabilities to thrive
After working with a tutor provided by UNICEF, seven-year-old Vladyslav from Kropyvnytskyi is learning to thrive at school once again
Iryna Romanova, 33, says that her seven-year-old son Vladyslav has always been anxious and had trouble dealing with communication and emotions. But when the full-scale war broke out in Ukraine in February of this year, his condition deteriorated even further.
"He has definitely become more anxious, like all of us," says Iryna. "And it's really difficult to calm a child down when you can't get calm by yourself."
As the shells fell and gunfire rattled through towns and cities, Vladyslav began to struggle at his school in Kropyvnytskyi. Iryna knew, however, how important attending school was.
"I believe children with special educational needs have to be integrated into society. In my view, from early childhood, they need to be in one team with different types of children because in the future they will have to get along with them somehow."
Iryna Romanova, Vladyslav's mother
"His tutor is like a good fairy godmother"
Desperate to help her son thrive, Iryna turned to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) who arranged for Vladyslav to see a personal tutor.
Now, he is learning to thrive at school once more.
"Vladyslav focuses on his actions much better," says Iryna. "Before, he started one task and couldn't finish it, but now he completes his tasks almost all the time. It's getting easier to do homework with him. I hope he will keep succeeding or even become better."
Personal tutor Kateryna Totok, 24, helps Vladyslav to work on difficult tasks, manage his time and deal with his emotions. She also encourages him to work as part of a team and build strong relationships with teachers and classmates.
Vladyslav, a first-grader at school No. 20. The boy is active and restless. The inability to concentrate, properly allocate time and set priorities prevent him from studying well.
Vladyslav, a first-grader at school No. 20. The boy is active and restless. The inability to concentrate, properly allocate time and set priorities prevent him from studying well
The decision to have the child attend school was unequivocal, says the mother. Vladyslav is active and restless. The boy likes to study in a group. During lessons and breaks, the tutor is always with Vladyslav. Sometimes a student just needs a little supervision. На уроках і на перервах тьютор завжди поряд із Владиславом. Інколи школяреві потрібно лише трохи контролю
"The tutor helps my son in all aspects of school life, like education or communicating with teachers and peers," says Iryna. "Now he can spend time with his peers during class breaks. His tutor is like a good fairy godmother to him. She is always there, like his shadow. They interact absolutely perfectly and the help is significant."
"He really needs support"
Kateryna, a speech therapist and psychologist, first started working with Vladislav in September.
"First of all, he really needs support in the stimulation of his attention and concentration on one particular topic. He may need some hints or just to be calmed down. Sometimes, Vladyslav is calm and balanced, and needs only a little control during the lesson. But there are also moments when he is too excited and overwhelmed, and I have to take him to a room to rest, switch his attention, so he will return to the lesson."
Tutor Katerina Totok, 24 years old
NICEF provides the tutor with informational support and didactic materials.
"A tutor helps a child to better blend into the team, to get focused and catch up with the educational programme," she explains. "For example, we're working with a teacher with whom I'm acquainted, and I know in advance which topics they're going to learn. If it's a difficult topic, I can prepare a vocabulary with the words he doesn't know, for example."
"We are trying to give back smiles to children"
In her 17 years of teaching experience, Yanina Fialkovska, Vladyslav's homeroom teacher, has never worked with children with special educational needs. The tutor helps her to establish an effective working process with all of her students.
"The tutor takes on a big workload. While I spread my attention across the whole class, she focuses on the child who needs support the most. Together with the tutor, we are trying to give back smiles to children, smiles that unfortunately disappeared due to the war. We dance, sing, build, cut, sculpt. We not only learn but also develop."

So here we are at the start of yet another volume of RISCWorld. Who would have thought that it's five years since the first issue of RISCWorld appeared, and four and a half years since I started editing the magazine? Doesn't time fly? It's been an interesting five years, we have seen the release of a number of new RISC OS machines, including the Iyonix, Omega, Mico and A75. We have seen new versions of RISC OS, firstly RISC OS Select, then RISC OS 5 from Castle and of course RISC OS Adjust from RISCOS Ltd. We have also seen the ownership of RISC OS itself change.
In the same five years there are have been major developments in software, firstly of course we have the arrival of VirtualAcorn, allowing RISC OS to be used on PC hardware, there have been major updates to many of the best known RISC OS apps, including Techwriter and ArtWorks. There have also been lots of software titles changing hands, with APDL now the main publisher of RISC OS software. In fact so much has happened in the last five years that I simply can't cover it all.
Still that's the past, what about the future, well the next 12 months?
We will hopefully be seeing production versions of the A9 computer from Advantage 6, there have been more and more rumours that the new version of Impression, Impression X will be released shortly, hopefully the Cino DVD player for the Iyonix will be making an appearance, and what about an Iyonix2? Castle's recent aggressive promotion of the current model has got a lot of people wondering what else they might have in store. With a bit of luck we are going to see lost of new software including Cineroma by David McEwen (which has at last been publicly shown) and a port of the Firefox browser by Peter Naulls.
So we have the potential for a very exciting 12 months ahead, I'm looking forward to it, I hope you are as well.
As you may well know by now we have recently moved home. Although we have only moved 140 miles, South Derbyshire is a world away from Bracknell. Anyway, one of the problems that I had before the move related to getting the VW Beetle finished so it could be driven to the new house. I had already finished all the welding (note to self : rust free means the rust comes free with the car) which just left some mechanical jobs to do. Anyway after finishing all the undersealing and giving the car a quick mechanical once over it all seemed fine. An annoying tendency not to start was traced to a corroded fuse which was quickly cleaned up. I replaced the broken front number plate and at the same time fitted a new rear number plate, cunningly screwed into the outer skin of the double skinned panel under the decklid.
So it was time for a test drive. The car immediately felt better, perhaps because all the new metal in the front was preventing the suspension from moving in ways it wasn't designed to. I did notice that the speedo wasn't working as I pulled out of Turnberry but wasn't overly concerned. Accelerating up the road did however cause a great deal of concern as suddenly an awful noise started coming from the front of the car, help! I turned round and crawled back home. I know a fair bit about Beetles and do know that the speedo cable can be a cause of many problems. It has to be fitted in a specific position, otherwise on full lock the rotating end of the cable can get pushed into the inside if the speedo a bit too far and ruin it. Leaping to a sensible conclusion I had a look and indeed the speedo cable was in the wrong place. I moved it slightly and tried again, but the noise continued.
The VW beetle speedo cable is a weird contraption, it runs down to the nearside front wheel where it is held in place with a circlip, the end of the cable pokes through and goes through a square hole in the center cap of the wheel, as the wheel and center cap rotate the inside of the cable goes with it, this is important so memorise this bit.
In the end I gave up and decided that since time was running out and I had a flat bed trailer booked to move the VW camper I would simply ask the guy moving the camper to move both vehicles. A quick e-mail later and it was all sorted out. Good, lets get back to packing. Anyway on the day before we were due t move Hayley took a phone call. The chap moving the VWs couldn't do it! Arghhh! Actually I think some wires got crossed as in fact he could still move the camper, but not the Beetle. So I had another go at fixing it, and failed. In the end I disconnected the speedo cable and the noise seemed to go away.
On the day of the move my brother in law, Frank, "volunteered" to drive the beetle and guess what, yes the horrible noise came back. Oh well, nuts to it; if the beetle breaks down then the AA will have to rescue it. So after a morning's panic cleaning the house and loading up the final stuff we set off. The Beetle was making an awful noise and I could hear it behind us as we left. As we got onto the motorway the noise from the beetle seemed to stop - weird. Looking in my rear view mirror I could finally see what the noise was. The front number plate was rattling between about 30 and 50 miles per hour. Some idiot had forgotten to tighten the screws properly. With this solved we drove up to Derbsyhire.
So after all this why didn't the speedo work? Simple, I forgot to put the center caps back on the wheels.

There are only about twenty minutes left of December 7, 2013 and I'm just sitting down now to write this blog post.
Today began with my sleeping in until nearly 10:00 mostly because I didn't want to be an adult today. I really wanted to eat Lucky Charms and watch cartoons...but I got up anyway.
Today ended with my feeling grateful the music and dance that is apart of my life. And for the creative people who help make both of these things happen.
I want more creation in my life. More art, more dance, more music, more love and more peace.
And I want everyone I know to have more of those things in their lives too.
Good night friends. Dream well.


BLOOM is a light and floral London Dry Gin, inspired by the true beauty of nature.
BLOOM Gin was created by Joanne Moore, one of the world's first female Gin Master Distillers at the oldest gin distillery G&J.
Chamomile, pomelo and honeysuckle were chosen as the three key botanicals, each one helping in its own unique way to create a more delicate and subtle gin drinking experience.
BLOOM London Dry Gin is best served with Tonic Water and quartered strawberries.
As Joanne Moore's favourite cocktail, BLOOM Gin is equally delicious served as a French 75.
With 25ml BLOOM London Dry Gin, 25ml Freshly squeezed lemon juice, 10ml Sugar syrup (1 water:2 sugar), and quality Prosecco or Champagne.
Method: Shake the first three ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled champagne flute. Top with bubbles and garnish with pretty edible flowers.
Brilliant. if I don't fancy one of those flavoured gins (which I love, particularly violet flavoured) then this is my go to gin ad it's do light, subtle and floral.

For about two weeks, I've had a twitch in one spot in the middle of my forehead. Same exact spot, every time. It varies in frequency, sometimes it fires regularly throughout the day, and sometimes nothing. It happened a lot on Friday, then hardly at all over the weekend, then a lot on Monday, and hardly at all today.
The interesting, or strange - thing about this forehead twitch is that I can sometimes draw it out with a voluntary movement. Like if I raise my eyebrows/scrunch up my forehead, it will cause the muscle to react about 90% of the time. Otherwise, it will happen on its own very intermittently.
That's been the only issue except for tonight, just as I was sitting down to post this, I finished my nightly run and noticed my calves were twitching. The left calf is a very slight, quick twitch while the right calf is a bit more pronounced. I can feel the right calf twitch; the left one I can only see if I stare at it, but can't feel.
So, that's really it thus far - twitching forehead and twitching calves. The forehead twitch hasn't happened much today, but the calves are going maybe once every 20 seconds since I returned from my run.
I know there are a lot of data points out there about exercise causing muscles to fasciculate, but the timing of this - shortly after the forehead twitch began - seems odd to me.
I HAVE been under an immense amount of stress lately, which I feel could be a factor - but on the other hand, I'm kind of always under stress. I'm just a tense person in general, but this has never really reared its head until now.
I've got no other issues - no weakness, pain, numbness, etc. Just the twitching. I've read the sticky and realize this is a very miniscule, unlikely chance to be how ALS begins, but I'm still worried. I don't have insurance so seeing a doctor right now, at least until things (God forbid) get worse, isn't an option.
I know nobody here can diagnose me, but I'm hoping maybe someone might have some insight/similar experience, or maybe someone just needs to talk me off the ledge and tell me I'm crazy.
The timing is not odd at all. Twitches often congregate, depending on their cause. In your case, we can hypothesize about stress, diet, hydration -- and a run that can irritate muscles/nerves, as could wrinkling your forehead.
A fruit smoothie, a good night's sleep, getting all your stretches in before and after your run/day -- and a dab of magnesium lotion or moisturizer on your forehead could do no harm.
A heating pad on your calves and/or a low voltage mattress heating pad for your bed couldn't hurt, either.
I don't think you think you're crazy, but if you want the perspective of how easy it is for random twitches to get established for a while and then take off, you have it. It's very common and not ALS.
So I don't think you need to see anyone at the moment, but there are a few things that could send the twitches off sooner, as per above. Rule #1 is live your life without worrying about them, which is quite the waste of time, so do what seems possibly helpful and leave the rest to the "tincture of time." If anything completely new develops, of course, you'll be the first to know.
I appreciate your words. I just need to try to relax and hope this calf twitch goes away. The right calf is going crazy right now.
Just to add to this. As I sit here this morning, the forehead twitch is gone and the calves are still twitching - this is now some 15 hours after my nightly run. My right calf twitch is much more pronounced than the left calf.
Is this any reason to be concerned?
The thing to focus on is that ALS always involves much more than twitching. So the longer you have twitching while still being able to walk, talk, etc. normally, the more certain we can be that this isn't ALS.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate it.


Preheat the oven to 325 and spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick baking spray.
For the BROWNIE BATTER: Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second increments. Set it aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar. Beat in the eggs. With the mixer on low speed, drizzle in the melted chocolate.
Add the vanilla extract and mix. Now add the flour and mix just until combined.
Pour the batter in the aforementioned baking pan. Spread it to even out the surface. Bake until the center is no longer soft, around 45 minutes. Set the brownies aside to cool totally prior to icing.
For the ICING: In another mixing bowl, combine butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, salt and vanilla. Mix until slightly combined, then add half cup of the coffee.
Whip until the icing is light and fluffy. If the icing is overly thick, add a quarter cup more coffee.
Ice the brownies, nice and thick.
Refrigerate until the icing is firm.
Slice the brownies and serve!


Ostalgie taken to a whole other level.
In Frauenwald, Germany (population: 989), there's a museum inside an old military bunker leftover from GDR times. Rather than simply perusing the Soviet-era tchotchkes, why not slip on an old military uniform, line up with fellow pretend comrades in front of your pretend commander and salute a portrait of old General Secretary Honecker?
For $150, you can. Built in the 1970s to shelter a district command unit of the East Germany National People's Army in emergencies, the 39,000-square-foot bunker (now known as the Bunker-Museum) provides visitors the chance to actually live like an East German solider (gas masks included).

Ankara Traditional Sports Facility Has Opened in Turkey
The Traditional Sports Facility, implemented through the initiative of the Federation of Traditional Sports by corporate members of the World Ethnosport Confederation, has been opened, with President Erdoğan of the Republic of Turkey in attendance. The facility, whose opening was also attended by WEC President Necmeddin Bilal Erdoğan, aims to create an environment where families will be able to pass time enjoyably with its social equipment areas alongside the open and covered archery ranges, manèges, and 20-horse capacity stables.
"I BELIEVE OUR YOUTHS WILL EMBRACE IT WITH FOUR HANDS."
Underlining how the facility will bring a breath of fresh air, Turkey's President Erdoğan stated, "The official opening of the facility, an almost one-and-a-half-year operation, has come to fruition today. I believe our youths will fully embrace the facility. I think our facility will become one of the most enticing places in the times ahead."
'WE INVITE YOUTHS TO LAY CLAIM TO THEIR OWN CULTURE AND CULTURAL HERITAGE.''
Drawing attention to the values embodied in traditional sports, Turkey's President Erdoğan said the following:
While working to revitalize our ancestral sports, we intend to pass these values on to new generations. We invite them to lay claim to their own culture and cultural heritage. We cannot look confidently to our future without raising faithful, moral, and virtuous youths. We support every effort to eliminate years of neglect, to introduce our equestrian sports to our people, and to have our children take hold of their history."
'WE NEED TO CHERISH THIS LEGACY WITHIN OUR LIVES''
The World Ethnosport Confederation President Necmeddin Bilal Erdoğan explained the activities being set up as follows:
Just as studies performed for endangered animal and plant lines contribute to the wealth of the world in which we live, studies performed on endangered cultural heritage have great importance. Keeping our cultural heritage alive just in encyclopedias and museums is not enough. We need to cherish this legacy within our lives. This facility, which we've put into operation in line with this purpose, will be an important step.''
'A FIRST IN TURKEY''
Referring to the general characteristics of the facility, President of the Turkish Traditional Sport Branches Federation Hakan Kazancı emphasized this facility to be a first in Turkey and stated that they had started mobilizations and were collaborating with local governments for having this type of facility spread to other regions of the country.

Nie należy mylić z tzw. dekretem o Polakach (Polenstrafrechtsverordnung) z 1941 r.

Dekrety polskie (niem. Polenerlasse, Polen-Erlasse) – dekrety wydane przez nazistowskie Niemcy 8 marca 1940. Regulowały one sytuacje polskich robotników przymusowych w III Rzeszy (Zivilarbeiter).

Treść zarządzeń
Zarządzenia te specyficznie wprowadzały różne sposoby dyskryminacji polskich robotników, m.in.:

 Obowiązek oznaczenia literą "P", trwale przymocowaną do każdej sztuki noszonego ubrania i wyraźnie widoczną.
 Płace znacznie mniejsze niż dla niemieckich czy zachodnich robotników.
 Znacznie mniejsze racje żywnościowe niż dla niemieckich czy zachodnich robotników.

Are you planning on taking an educational trip in the near future? If the answer is yes, then there are some things that you will need to know. As you probably already know, traveling abroad can be very stressful. This is why working with a travel company that you can trust is very important. Below we are going to learn some tips that you may find helpful in your search.
These tips for how to find the best educational travel company are useful, but this first one is very important and needs to be addressed first. Before you sign anything, you will need to agree on a price for the trip and find out what is included in that price. Students and trip organizers often fail to ask this very important question. Many educational travel companies will have extra fees that are not clearly stated in the initial price of the trip. So, finding out what the total cost of the entire trip is will help you avoid any surprises.
Will You Be Met at The Arrival Airport?
Some travel companies will arrange for you to be picked up at the arrival airport and transported to your accommodations, but some will leave that task up to you. So, instead of finding out at the last minute that no one will be at the airport to pick you, ask your travel company about the situation. If you need to find a taxi, make sure that you call around before you leave home and find a company that is safe to use and will meet you at the airport. You should always be diligent about your safety when using a taxi service. In some areas of the world, taxi drivers have been known to overcharge travelers.
When talking to your educational travel company representative, make sure to inquire whether your itinerary is flexible. This is very important because many companies will not offer refunds if something happens and you have to miss your travel dates. Having a flexible travel itinerary will allow you to leave on a later date in case something comes up. Also, you should ask the agent if they offer travel insurance, which can help protect your investment in case you need to cancel or change your dates. By doing so, you will have peace of mind knowing that the money you put up for the trip won't be a total loss.
As you can see, there are quite a few things that you will need to talk about with your travel agent. Remember that the more questions you ask, the more informed you will be about your trip. So, before you pack your bags and head out into the world, make sure to bring these questions up. These tips are very important and apply to individual travelers, as well as groups of students. Traveling outside of your comfort zone might be scary, but it doesn't have to be if you are prepared.

Clothes that receive and transmit digital information are closer to reality
by Pam Frost Gorder, The Ohio State University
Researchers at The Ohio State University are developing embroidered antennas and circuits with 0.1 mm precision—the perfect size to integrate electronic components such as sensors and computer memory devices into clothing. Credit: Jo McCulty, courtesy of The Ohio State University.
Researchers who are working to develop wearable electronics have reached a milestone: They are able to embroider circuits into fabric with 0.1 mm precision—the perfect size to integrate electronic components such as sensors and computer memory devices into clothing.
With this advance, the Ohio State University researchers have taken the next step toward the design of functional textiles—clothes that gather, store, or transmit digital information. With further development, the technology could lead to shirts that act as antennas for your smart phone or tablet, workout clothes that monitor your fitness level, sports equipment that monitors athletes' performance, a bandage that tells your doctor how well the tissue beneath it is healing—or even a flexible fabric cap that senses activity in the brain.
That last item is one that John Volakis, director of the ElectroScience Laboratory at Ohio State, and research scientist Asimina Kiourti are investigating. The idea is to make brain implants, which are under development to treat conditions from epilepsy to addiction, more comfortable by eliminating the need for external wiring on the patient's body.
"A revolution is happening in the textile industry," said Volakis, who is also the Roy & Lois Chope Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering at Ohio State. "We believe that functional textiles are an enabling technology for communications and sensing—and one day even medical applications like imaging and health monitoring."

They are also exploring other uses for the technology, including this flexible circuit that contains an RFID chip. Credit: Jo McCulty, courtesy of The Ohio State University
Recently, he and Kiourti refined their patented fabrication method to create prototype wearables at a fraction of the cost and in half the time as they could only two years ago. With new patents pending, they published the new results in the journal IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters.
In Volakis' lab, the functional textiles, also called "e-textiles," are created in part on a typical tabletop sewing machine—the kind that fabric artisans and hobbyists might have at home. Like other modern sewing machines, it embroiders thread into fabric automatically based on a pattern loaded via a computer file. The researchers substitute the thread with fine silver metal wires that, once embroidered, feel the same as traditional thread to the touch.
"We started with a technology that is very well known—machine embroidery—and we asked, how can we functionalize embroidered shapes? How do we make them transmit signals at useful frequencies, like for cell phones or health sensors?" Volakis said. "Now, for the first time, we've achieved the accuracy of printed metal circuit boards, so our new goal is to take advantage of the precision to incorporate receivers and other electronic components."

This antenna features interlocking geometric shapes that provide broadband signal transmission. Credit: Jo McCulty, courtesy of The Ohio State University.
The shape of the embroidery determines the frequency of operation of the antenna or circuit, explained Kiourti.
The shape of one broadband antenna, for instance, consists of more than half a dozen interlocking geometric shapes, each a little bigger than a fingernail, that form an intricate circle a few inches across. Each piece of the circle transmits energy at a different frequency, so that they cover a broad spectrum of energies when working together—hence the "broadband" capability of the antenna for cell phone and internet access.
"Shape determines function," she said. "And you never really know what shape you will need from one application to the next. So we wanted to have a technology that could embroider any shape for any application."
The researchers' initial goal, Kiourti added, was just to increase the precision of the embroidery as much as possible, which necessitated working with fine silver wire. But that created a problem, in that fine wires couldn't provide as much surface conductivity as thick wires. So they had to find a way to work the fine thread into embroidery densities and shapes that would boost the surface conductivity and, thus, the antenna/sensor performance.
Asimina Kiourti, a research scientist at The Ohio State University, demonstrates the embroidery technique she and John Volakis invented for integrating electronics into clothing. The project recently reached a milestone with antennas and circuits featuring 0.1 mm precision -- the perfect precision for connecting to electronic devices. Credit: Jo McCulty, courtesy of The Ohio State University.
Previously, the researchers had used silver-coated polymer thread with a 0.5-mm diameter, each thread made up of 600 even finer filaments twisted together. The new threads have a 0.1-mm diameter, made with only seven filaments. Each filament is copper at the center, enameled with pure silver.
They purchase the wire by the spool at a cost of 3 cents per foot; Kiourti estimated that embroidering a single broadband antenna like the one mentioned above consumes about 10 feet of thread, for a material cost of around 30 cents per antenna. That's 24 times less expensive than when Volakis and Kiourti created similar antennas in 2014.
In part, the cost savings comes from using less thread per embroidery. The researchers previously had to stack the thicker thread in two layers, one on top of the other, to make the antenna carry a strong enough electrical signal. But by refining the technique that she and Volakis developed, Kiourti was able to create the new, high-precision antennas in only one embroidered layer of the finer thread. So now the process takes half the time: only about 15 minutes for the broadband antenna mentioned above.
She's also incorporated some techniques common to microelectronics manufacturing to add parts to embroidered antennas and circuits.
One prototype antenna looks like a spiral and can be embroidered into clothing to improve cell phone signal reception. Another prototype, a stretchable antenna with an integrated RFID (radio-frequency identification) chip embedded in rubber, takes the applications for the technology beyond clothing. (The latter object was part of a study done for a tire manufacturer.)
Yet another circuit resembles the Ohio State Block "O" logo, with non-conductive scarlet and gray thread embroidered among the silver wires "to demonstrate that e-textiles can be both decorative and functional," Kiourti said.
They may be decorative, but the embroidered antennas and circuits actually work. Tests showed that an embroidered spiral antenna measuring approximately six inches across transmitted signals at frequencies of 1 to 5 GHz with near-perfect efficiency. The performance suggests that the spiral would be well-suited to broadband internet and cellular communication.
In other words, the shirt on your back could help boost the reception of the smart phone or tablet that you're holding - or send signals to your devices with health or athletic performance data.
The work fits well with Ohio State's role as a founding partner of the Advanced Functional Fabrics of America Institute, a national manufacturing resource center for industry and government. The new institute, which joins some 50 universities and industrial partners, was announced earlier this month by U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter.
Syscom Advanced Materials in Columbus provided the threads used in Volakis and Kiourti's initial work. The finer threads used in this study were purchased from Swiss manufacturer Elektrisola. The research is funded by the National Science Foundation, and Ohio State will license the technology for further development.
Until then, Volakis is making out a shopping list for the next phase of the project.
"We want a bigger sewing machine," he said.

I am wondering what you all would recommend for powering our new boat. They will be hanging the motor next week. We originally planned to use the 4.2 liter 250 Yamaha--but have been considering bumping up to the 300. Our boat is a Riverhawk Cuddy Pro 24 feet with 2 foot offshore bracket. Dry weight is listed at around 4,500 lbs. Looking at the Yamaha specs--it looks like the 250 is a de-tuned 300--same weight and general specs, etc. We opted for a single main with a 9.9 kicker for salmon trolling. Any advice appreciated.
I believe the main consideration is fuel availability. I think the 300 you have to run 89 octane where the 250 will run on 87 so its an availability issue and do you want to pay the higher cost for the 89.
Weather you power or repower boats everyone seem to agree that there is never enough power and if you can afford it go for the max hp. The engine won't work as hard, higher efficiency, reserve power when needed the list goes on.

Battle against Virat Kohli this year was my favourite, says Anderson | Cricket News
MANCHESTER (UK): England pacer James Anderson has said his battle against India skipper Virat Kohli in this year's Test series was his favourite and he also said that both fierce opponents have mutual respect for each other.
Anderson managed to dismiss Kohli twice at a cost of 64 runs in the course of four completed Tests.
"This summer was probably my favourite contest with Virat. We've had a few good battles over the years, both in England and India, but this year was certainly my favourite. I got him out a few times but also he got some runs as well, and we had a battle on the field where there was definitely mutual respect there. It was in a really nice manner, if that makes sense. Obviously, we were going at each other, but it was in a well-spirited way. So I really enjoyed that," Anderson told Fox Cricket's Road to the Ashes podcast, as reported by ESPNcricinfo.
Talking about his potential battle with Steve Smith in the upcoming Ashes, Anderson said: "As a bowler, you always look at the best player, and for me over the last three, four, or five years, Steve Smith's been Australia's best player. He's been the one they rely on for their volume of runs, obviously supported by guys around him like [David] Warner and [Marnus] Labuschagne recently. But he's been their go-to in the last few years, so he'll be the one that we will be keen to get out early."
"We've got to start well. The Gabba in particular is huge for us. If we can get one-up on a few batters early, then that can have a real snowball effect throughout the series. Bowling in Australia is not necessarily more difficult, it's just different. In England, the Dukes swings more often than not, and with the wickets, we play on, you can get some seam movement as well. But you're not going to get many swings with a Kookaburra, so it's just about trying to hit good areas. You've just got to be relentless, and so accurate. And that's where people do struggle," he added.
England and Australia will lock horns in a five-match Ashes, beginning December 8 in Brisbane.


Side sleepers often have it rough.
With all their body weight falling on their hips and shoulders, it can lead to restless nights and uncomfortable mornings.
It is possible to reduce the discomfort associated with side sleeping by adjusting one's posture, mattress, or arm positioning.
However, even with all these adjustments, it can still lead to hip pain and nerve pain if you sleep on your side continuously for years.
It's also possible to remove these factors of pain and discomfort simply by switching sleeping positions.
Sleeping on the back, for example, allows for body weight to be distributed much more evenly throughout the bones, joints, and muscles.
Unfortunately, some sleepers just can't get as high quality of sleep on their backs or stomachs as they do on their sides.
Luckily, there is something you can introduce into your sleep arsenal that can ease pain associated with side sleeping and make things feel much more comfortable: the knee pillow.
An orthopedic knee pillow is specially designed to relieve side-sleeping pain or discomfort and is available online with many different options. The best ones can make for a great night's sleep. But how do you know what knee pillow is right for you?
This ergonomically designed knee pillow will comfortably fit between your legs, providing maximum support and comfort. This will help relieve pain caused by the sciatic nerve.
The 100% memory foam provides lasting comfort throughout the whole night.
The ComfiLife memory foam is responsive to both heat and weight, adjusting as your body temperature and position do as you sleep. It can be used in a variety of different positions in order to meet many different postural needs.
It is covered with a polyester zippered fabric that helps keep the cushion cool and makes it easy to wash when needed.
If you've done any research into pain-relieving knee pillows, you've probably seen much praise for the Cushy Form cushion. It's a contoured memory foam knee pillow with a washable, removable cover for easy maintenance and even easier sleeping.
The foam relieves pressure from gravity on your knees, hips, and legs and distributes the weight more evenly so as to allow comfort all night long. It's a perfect knee pillow for sciatica relief as it allows more circulation through the sciatic nerve areas.
This product helps improve circulation and can be especially helpful for pregnant women or those recovering from surgery.
This memory foam knee pillow stands out with the strap that helps keep it in place. With the pillow in its proper place the whole night, there will be no more interruptions from your normal sleep schedule. The strap keeps it from slipping off but can be removed or used on the other side of the body if needed.
This one is made from 100% real memory foam, which memorizes the shape and weight of your body and surrounds those it with soft pressure and support. Unlike other stuffing materials, memory foam will not flatten out or lose its density over time.
There's an extra bonus that comes along with the Everlasting Comfort as well: earplugs. These earplugs are noise-reducing, shape memorizing, and travel-friendly with a portable case that they come in.
100% PURE MEMORY FOAM - Our memory foam cushion is 100% pure with no additives and is made from the exact same material as the world's best memory foam manufacturers.
ERGONOMIC CURVED DESIGN - The orthopedic contour keeps your knees separated with ideal spacing and support to align your legs, hips and spine. Relief and treatment for knee, hip, leg and thigh area, pelvis, lower back, lumbar and spine, arthritis, bursitis, joint & sciatic nerve pain aka sciatica. Perfect for side sleepers and use during pregnancy.
REMOVABLE STRAP - Our knee pillows are equipped with a removable and adjustable hook-and-loop strap that keeps the knee pillow in perfect alignment between your legs when you roll over while sleeping. No more hassles with readjusting the wedge pillow in bed, giving you an undisturbed night's rest!
LIFETIME REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE -Your knee pillow is protected under our lifetime warranty and if anything happens we will send you a new one at absolutely no cost! You can sleep well from night til morning knowing you can rely on the help of Everlasting Comfort.
One of Amazon's Choices for side sleeper pillows, this Sciatic Nerve Pain Relief Cushion is a contoured memory foam that will elevate the upper knee, both supporting the top leg and alleviating the bottom one.
Users say that the knee pillow starts out pretty firm but softens and follows your shape as time goes on. Reviewers have also noted relief from back pain, hip pain, leg pain, and nerve pain after using this pillow.
The sciatic nerve, the nerve which runs through the hips and down both legs, can get pinched when kept in a side-sleeping position for long periods of time. This causes acute pain or discomfort, often waking up a sleeper because of the irritation.
This is a great knee pillow for hip pain, as it's designed to cut back on the discomfort caused by sciatic nerve pain, allowing side sleepers to enjoy their favorite position without all the drawbacks.
CONTOUR KNEE PILLOW - This contoured superior memory foam knee pillow with washable cover allows for a comfortable all night's sleep by elevating your upper knee. The therapeutic side sleeper body positioner - encourages the correct posture by being acting as a spacer cushion in between your knees. No more restless nights!
The Ziraki Memory Foam Wedge offers relief for pain in the back, hips, joints, legs and sciatica nerve.
It also aids with spinal alignment, leg support, and acts as a great pregnancy cushion. The full money-back guarantee shows Ziraki's strong confidence in their product.
It's designed specifically to fit in the space between your knees to provide maximum support.
It works best when maintained at room temperature, as memory foam reacts to temperature, and it may get harder in cold weather and softer in warmer temperatures.
Like most of the other options on this list, the Ziraki pillow comes with a removable and machine washable cover to keep things regularly cleaned.
There are a few major factors to consider when shopping for a knee pillow sleeping. You want something that will lift your upper leg, provide comfort to your bottom leg, relieve any pinched nerves, and realign the spine into proper position.
Support – The knee pillow needs to provide firm support to the leg it lifts up in order to provide relief to the lower one.
Cooling – A thick buffer of cushion between your knees can be soft and cozy, but it becomes uncomfortable when that cushion makes you hot and sweaty. Some may offer cooling elements to help the sleeper remain fresh during the night.
How Do Knee Pillows Help?
These kinds of cushions can relieve pressure from all parts of the body, including the back, ankles, hips, and more. They do this by realigning the spine into proper position.
Sleeping in the fetal position is actually the most natural and healthiest body posture. This is only true, however, when proper alignment of the spine can be maintained.
This is where a good knee pillow comes in. It alleviates pressure put on your back and hips by gravity and distributes the pressure evenly throughout your body.
As a great side effect, a knee pillow will also help to relax the hamstring muscles, which gives an overall relaxation to the body.
Now you should have a strong idea of the criteria that qualifies a knee pillow as a good one. You understand the benefits they provide to the sleeper and how it works to provide those benefits. You even know about the top-performing knee pillows on the market right now.
What's stopping you from enjoying higher quality sleep, more comfort, and less pain? If you're a side sleeper, consider trying a knee pillow today to see what you've been missing out on all this time.

The Denbigh Choir April Newsletter contains the latest in choral interest, particularly the beginning of the 'new' concert season. It also features the start of the Wedding Season with a choir practice visit from a happy couple.
Alice and Aled were welcome visitors to a recent choir practice. They are to marry on June 30 at Trefor Hall, Llangollen.
We will be singing at their ceremony.
Moreover, listening to the choir practice, Alice and Aled got some more ideas as to what is to be included on their Wedding Song List.
Alice told us that she would look entirely different the next time we see her.
We look forward to seeing you both on the big day!
Our concert season starts on May 8 at St John's Church, Llandudno.
The concert starts at 8pm with tickets available at the door. As well as our regular favourites we will be singing some new songs added to our eclectic repertoire.
Also, all our concerts and engagements are in the 'Upcoming Concerts' section on the choir website.
Our accompanist Nia Jones has put up with us for two whole years!
Her effervescent personality and boundless energy make choir practice an enjoyable and learning experience.
In fact, hazardous winter driving conditions have not deterred Nia in her efforts to come to every practice.
Moreover, the hard work of the lambing season on the Jones farm has also meant long days for Nia.
In spite of these demands we value and appreciate her dedication and commitment to the choir.
From an impressive entry of 16 Member Choirs, representing the Welsh Association of Male Choirs, Caldicot Male Voice Choir was drawn to take part in the Prince of Wales' 70th Birthday Patronage Celebration in Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, 22 May.
It's certain to be a memorable day.

Beginning: The robbers and her chief Matt sing about the life in the forests and their "work".
Second scene: While the robbers are celebrating yet, a storm begins. In the midst of the confusion Ronia is born.
Ronia is going alone into the Matt's forest, for the first time. She will meet witchbirds (wild harpies) and greygnomes.
The song of Matt's Forest is also the final of the musical.
Ronia the Robber's Daughter (Swedish: Ronja Rövardotter) is a children's fantasy book by the noted Swedish author Astrid Lindgren, first published in 1981. In the film based on the story, Ronia was played by Hanna Zetterberg Struwe. The musical is written by Axel Bergstedt.
Ronia, the main character, is a girl growing up in a castle in the wood in a clan of robbers. As she is the only child of Mattis, the chief, she is expected to become the leader of the clan someday. Their castle, Matt's Fort, is split in two parts by a lightning bolt on the day of Ronia's birth. Soon afterwards, a different clan of robbers, the "Borkas", settles the other side of the mountain, resulting in much strife between the two clans. Ronia grows up with Matt's clan of robbers as her only company. One day, Ronia sees Birk Borkason, the only son of the enemy chieftain, Borka, idling by the chasm that splits the two parts of the castle. He is the only other child she has ever met, and so she is sorry that he is a Borka. He engages her in a game of jumping across, which does not end until Birk almost falls down. Ronia saves him and they become friends.
The following winter is long and cold and although Matt's robbers are well fed, their counterparts are suffering on the other side of the chasm. Ronia brings food to Birk through a secret passageway. They get very close but both know that they cannot tell their families. Later that year Birk saves Ronia from being captured by the witchbirds, half part faeries, half part wild harpies,or by the greygnomes, only to be captured himself by Ronia's father. Ronia gives herself to the Borkas so she must be exchanged, but as a result her father disowns her and refuses to let her be his daughter. Birk and Ronia run away to the woods. Ultimately their families repent of their feuding, and everyone is reunited.

Q: Comparing two imbalanced signal transmission Below shows a perfectly balanced system assuming cables are balanced and twisted:

Im wondering if the transmitter is not impedance balanced, would a balanced receiver reject CM interference still much better than single ended receiver:
For example below the total imbalance seems 100 Ohm:

But if one uses the receiver as single ended the total impedance seems like 101kOhm.

Would that make a huge difference also in terms of common mode interference rejection? And is there a way to quantify it?
Are there transducers which are not differential signalling but impedance balanced?

A: If you do the maths you will find that the impact depends on the ratio of the imbalance to the RX common mode impedance, 100R:100k for example will give a common mode to differential mode conversion of -60dB, 100R:10k will be -40dB, 100R:1k will be -20dB and so on, it is just a potential divider.
It is for this reason that one figure of merit for a differential receiver is a very high common mode impedance, and why things like the THAT Corp bootstrapped line receivers are such a brilliant idea.
There are plenty of microphones that are impedance balanced, and they work perfectly well.

This week I have to do my first masters presentation.
OK, no big deal….! So far this semester, I've been attending a geology module, and the contextual art lectures. But I haven't been doing anything specifically for the MA… But now I have a deadline to get something down in a concrete-ish form!
So I have now spent a wonderful two days collating images and playing with mood boards.
This was extra therapeutic because I had a few 'down' days this week caused by all sorts of little things that I allowed to affect me, and the only person who could raise my spirits was, of course, me!
So as I browsed through the tourist brochures I'd collected on Agnes & my trip to Arizona last summer, I found myself getting excited about the colours and textures all over again. It brought back all the wonderful memories of our travels, and instantly raised my mood and my energy level.
I have a large corkboard and I use both sides. One side is my textures side….
The other is all about the amazing colours of the Arizona/Utah rocks at various times of day and weather conditions….
Agnes and I have a plan to produce work for a joint exhibition based on this trip, so this will be my base point. I'm really looking forward to it as we have such different weaving styles, and Agnes' sense of colour is just so wonderful!
It's such a lovely way to get into the mood of a project to compile a board of images. I spend quite a lot of time cutting images out of magazines, selecting them from my collections of cards, postcards, and general design inspiration. I then spread them all out over the table, put the empty board in front of me and start playing with composition, positioning and re-positioning the different elements until I get a feeling that I like something….
When I first started creating mood boards, I always felt anxious that I was doing it wrong until I realised nobody else need see them. Then a client saw 4 different boards and loved them, and I suddenly appreciated that what I thought was just playing expresses how I see things and other people like to see 'inside'. Now I have learnt to trust my sense of colour and form and don't apologise any more!
So I feel I have something to show with my presentation. I have been doing quite intensive texture research for a few years now, so I have lots of samples, and I have the mood boards to give a flavour of the work I am intending to do, and all I have to do now is present my thoughts and ideas with conviction and passion….
