Floating seagull
Couldn't quite make out what this was at first. A seagull fallen from a miniature surf board perhaps?
Watched with interest to see if it would right itself as I couldn't get down to the shore line.
Then yes, right side up and the inflated seagull could continue catching the waves.

Weekend reflection of the O2
This building is next to the O2 (previously called the Millennium Dome). One wall of the building is covered with these porthole shaped windows. I could just see a little of the Dome reflected in them.
The building is part of Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication which has recently moved to the Greenwich Peninsula. I loved seeing the bright blue sky reflected in all those windows.

Greenwich Fair 2013
The annual Greenwich Fair festival took place this week in different parts of Greenwich. Here at the Old Royal Naval College there were a number of different performances happening from dance, theatre, circus and other forms of street art. The festival is free and with the sun shining it was a great place for a picnic.
On the previous day this whale was in the Thames with rescue teams practising the best way of getting it back out to sea but today it was having a rest on the lawn.
This was a display of work by the artist Lalla Ward in the National Theatre on the South bank of the Thames. The exhibition was called Vanishing Acts. Inspired by nature the textiles were beautiful but difficult to capture because of the reflections from the glass display cabinets. This was my favourite. Can you spot the frog?
Also displayed were wood turnings by Nicholas Kettlewood
An electric car plugged in to a recharging post.
These recharging posts are becoming a more familiar sight in and around London. I have even noticed them in a supermarket car park. Electric cars do not have to pay the congestion charge of £10 per day when entering the congestion zones in London. Trying to keep a large city free from car emissions is not easy and charging to enter the city is one possible way of restricting traffic flow but there is still so much traffic you hardly know the difference. Do many cities charge for driving a car into their centres?
Leadenhall Market can be found in the City of London. It dates back to the 14th cent and was originally a meat and poultry market. This continued well into the 20th cent and then gradually a variety of retail shops began to trade in the market. If you visit during the week, especially at lunch time, it is full of city workers enjoying their lunch at one of the many restaurants, cafes or pubs. These photos were taken on a Sunday when the market is closed.
In 1881 the market was redesigned and the stone structures replaced with wrought iron and glasswork.
Sharing with 'Our World Tuesday'
Walking down Cornhill towards the Royal Exchange in the City of London, I came across this wonderful art deco building. I haven't been able to find out its history yet. It is currently a bar/restaurant.
Sharing with
A selection of free newspapers from around the world.
I have just returned from a couple of days in Eastbourne. This is a small town on the South Sussex coast. The main reason for visiting was to watch yet more tennis and also to look a t a couple of National Trust properties in the Sussex area.
The beach at Eastbourne is a pebble beach, so I never brought the children here when they were young as sand was a must.
But it does have a pier. Piers were built at many seaside towns during the Victorian era to provide a landing stage for the passenger ships from across the channel.
I love the Victorian iron work that is still evident around the seating areas.
Some of the original pier, where I assume the passengers used to disembark.
A couple of paddle boarders enjoying the last rays of sunshine.
Weekend reflection BT Tower
This building is a communications tower near the centre of London. It was called the Post Office tower which then became known as the British Telecom (BT) tower. At 581 ft it used to be the tallest building in London many years ago.
Sharing with James at Weekend reflections.
I would like to say a huge thank-you to all of you fellow bloggers who took the time and trouble to answer my query with regard to reading my posts. All seems to be well and I don't have to worry about changing the way I post.
The Royal College of Physicians
The college of physicians was established in 1518 by the royal physician to Henry VIII. The purpose of the college was to grant licences to those qualified to practise medicine and to punish those who were unqualified. Unfortunately the original building was destroyed in the Great fire of London in 1666 including a large library donated by William Harvey who discovered the circulation of blood. The present headquarters was built in 1958.
The panelling in this room is made from 350yr old oak which had been used in their previous building.
The Dorchester library which had a photographic display in there, showing plants and there medicinal uses.
This plant was the source of opium for 2000 years.
House leek: multiple uses in herbal medicine from removing warts and treating shingles
Pacific bleeding heart: herbal remedy for toothache and worms
Other things of interest included the medieval illustrations of the human body.
The college also holds a rare set of six anatomical tables which are the oldest surviving human anatomy diagrams. They display veins, nerves and arteries arranged on varnished wooden panels.
The College is not often open to the public so it was a rare opportunity for me to see these treasures.
Highlights from London Squares
Here are some of my favourite views from the squares I visited last week. The Squares are all part of the Grovenor estate which is responsible for the landscape and maintenance of these squares.
History of the Grovenor estate taken from its website: The family's ownership of the London Estate dates back to the marriage of Mary Davies to Sir Thomas Grosvenor in 1677. Mary inherited an area known as the Five Fields (500 acres situated north of the Thames and to the west of the City of London) which today are occupied by Mayfair, Belgravia and Pimlico.
This landholding remained largely untouched by the family until the 1720s when a decision was taken to develop the northern part - now known as Mayfair – around a new Grosvenor Square. A few generations later, in the 1820s, the focus shifted to what is now Belgravia, and work began to develop Eaton Square, Chester Square and many other famous London addresses
This is the laburnan archway in full flower in Warwick square. This and many other squares was designed by Thomas Cundy.
A very secluded seat
Chester Square.
These rules apply to all the private squares.
This tree with its bottle shaped trunk is the Oriental Plane.
In Eaton Square there was live music from a steel band
There were many sculptures in this large square.

My dad was the best cook I know. We spent 2 - 3 hours at a time in the kitchen, watching movies (or Jeopardy) on TV and crafting beautiful meals. After having spent years in Japan, some of his favorite meals to cook were on the wok. We'd often visit the Vietnamese grocery stores in Little Saigon and get our meat and spices the night before, marinating them overnight for richer flavor. That day, we'd cut a variety of peppers, black beans, and garlic and warm up the wok over propane. I have vivid memories of singeing all the hair off my arms from the flames, or crying from the heat of the capsaicin.
My dad also taught me how to make the best burger around, mixing beef and pork in the right proportion to give the burger a fatty and more succulent flavor. Both of us devoured garlic like candy, so adding that was a natural and welcome addition.

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy attorney can help find the best outcome for financial problems that come up unexpectedly. Divorce, unemployment, sudden medical expenses – all of these issues can quickly drain your cash reserves and leave you penniless.
However, there are always a number of solutions that can help you regain your financial stability. If you find yourself in one of these situations, consult with a Chapter 7 bankruptcy attorney and find a solution for your financial issues. Our experienced attorneys in Dallas and Fort Worth serve the needs of people who are looking for debt relief in the form of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
We can provide you with the information you need, including Texas state exemptions. Before you make a decision regarding your bankruptcy declaration, get expert advice from an experienced bankruptcy attorney.
Unlike its counterparts, Chapter 7 bankruptcy does not entail the filing of a repayment plan. Many people are leery of Chapter 7 bankruptcy because they think the trustee will sell all of the their property. In the vast majority of cases, no property has to be given up or sold. It is important to realize that Chapter 7 does not provide protection against foreclosure or repossession, however, so if one of your goals is to save your home or your car through bankruptcy, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy might be more advantageous.
To be eligible for Chapter 7, the debtor must be a person, corporation, partnership, or other business entity. It does not matter how solvent the filer's debts are. An individual, however, is generally not eligible to file for Chapter 7 protection if he or she has filed in the last 180 days. The filer must also attend a credit counseling course with an approved agency. There are sometimes exceptions in regards to eligibility as determined by the court. The overall idea of Chapter 7 is to provide the debtor with a "fresh start." Once the debts have been discharged through the protection plan, the debtor is no longer responsible for those debts.
Upon filing, the debtor is subjected to a case filing fee of $335. When a petition is filed, an automatic stay goes into effect stopping most, if not all, collection activity. The benefits of the stay, however, are subject to the bankruptcy code and in certain cases do not apply or are temporary. Not long after the petition is filed, the court's trustee will hold a meeting for the creditors to make sure there are no objections (this is a rare occurrence). Once the petition is approved, it is just a matter of months until all eligible debts are completely discharged (wiped out).
Have a lot of credit card and/or medical debt.
Keep receiving collection calls and notices.
Do not have enough income to pay off bills.
Do not own much property or are current on house and car payments.
Since 2005, bankruptcy laws require that the people seeking Chapter 7 protection submit their proof of income. If your income is equal to or below the state median income level, you will be eligible to file for Chapter 7. However, if your income exceeds the state median income level, you may be required to undergo means testing. Means testing determines if you are able to repay some of your unsecured debt with disposable income, or income that may be left over at the end of the month after all necessities are paid. Leinart Law Firm offers a complimentary consultation and evaluation, during which we can determine whether you have qualifications for Chapter 7 bankruptcy requirements.
Collectible items such as antiques, books, art, etc.
Any other transport such as boats, airplanes, jet skis, etc.
Sporting equipment, photographic equipment, firearms, etc.
Any money that is owed to you, such as tax refunds, outstanding personal loans, etc.
Property settlement documents, such as alimony, support payments, etc.
Any patents, copyrights, or trademarks you own outright.
The purpose of this is not to create a list of items to be sold, but to make sure the debtor fully qualifies for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and does not own too many assets.
What Kinds of Debts Are Not Written Off in Chapter 7?
Most debts are legally written off, or discharged under Chapter 7, the most common type of bankruptcy. In fact, bankruptcy law doesn't tell us what kinds of debts are discharged, instead saying that all debts are discharged except a limited list of those that are not. So, the discharge of debts granted under Section 727 of the Bankruptcy Code applies to all debts except for those listed as exceptions to discharge in Section 523 of the Code. These listed exceptions to discharge can be divided into two categories: 1) debts which are discharged as long as the creditor does not object, and 2) debts which are not discharged even if no objection is raised by the creditor.
Debts that arose by you making a false representation or committing fraud to get the loan or other form of credit. This can take the form of an intentional falsehood on a loan application, a cash advances or use of your credit card when you had no intention of paying back that credit, or any other way of deceitfully incurring a debt.
Debts for theft or embezzlement, for fraud while in a trust relationship, including misappropriation of money or property while in that relationship. This can include stealing from one's employer, cheating a business partner, or inducing an elderly relative to change his or her will in your favor.
Obligations resulting from intentionally and maliciously harming a person or business, or its property. This includes bodily injuries and property damage caused intentionally, such as during a domestic disturbance or bar fight.
The person or business which has a claim against you for any of these types of debts must file a formal adversary proceeding within a rather short window of time—usually within 60 days of your meeting of creditors—or else that debt is discharged along with the rest of your debts.
A secured debt is one in which your obligation to pay is secured by the creditor's rights the collateral. If you do not stay current on the debt, that triggers the creditor's ability to pursue that collateral, to repossess a vehicle, for example. Chapter 7, the most straightforward type of bankruptcy, gives you some important advantages in dealing with your secured debts.
If you are current on your secured debt and want to keep the collateral, you can almost always do so. People are sometimes afraid that upon filing a bankruptcy they would not be allowed to keep making payments on a vehicle or home. But in fact one very legitimate reason to file a Chapter 7 case is to discharge (get rid of) unsecured debts in order to be able to afford your vehicle or home payments. However, if you want to keep making payments on a secured debt, you may need to sign a reaffirmation agreement. Just like it sounds, through that agreement you are reaffirming the debt. Why do you need to sign a document agreeing to pay for a debt that you'd already agreed to pay originally? Because your bankruptcy discharge order, which legally writes off your debts, would otherwise write off this obligation as well. A reaffirmation agreement excludes the reaffirmed debt from that discharge. You are choosing to stay legally liable on that debt as if you had never filed the bankruptcy. You should always discuss this with your attorney, though, as there may be situations where this is not advisable.
Chapter 7 gives you the option of surrendering the collateral (property) if you do not need or want it any longer, or just can't afford to make the payments. Surrendering collateral usually doesn't make sense outside bankruptcy, at least not with "recourse" debts secured by a vehicle or other personal property. That's because after you surrender the collateral, the creditor will sell it at an auction, usually for less than the balance. Then after adding the auction costs and other fees to the balance, the creditor will come after you for this "deficiency balance." But in a Chapter 7 case, that balance is discharged, making surrender a much more sensible option.


VW signals a second U.S. plant is in the works.
President Donald Trump met with the leaders of BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen.
Even as President Donald Trump was backpeddling on earlier comments suggesting the trade dispute with China had been defused, the former New York businessman was meeting with European auto industry executives worried that they could become targeted by yet another front in the trade war.
The president has signaled he may enact duties of 25% or more on vehicles imported from Europe, even though his own Commerce Dept. has backed away from plans to declare imported automobiles a threat to national security.
Trump "shared his vision of all automakers producing in the United States and creating a more friendly business environment," the White House said in a statement that followed the meeting with officials from BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen.
The administration did not offer a detailed outline of what had been discussed during the meeting, though tariffs were considered a likely topic considering comments the president made using Twitter last week.
VW CEO Herbert Diess probably told Trump the news he most wanted to hear: VW is considering building a second plant here.
The president has been relying on the threat of tariffs to get foreign automakers to reduce exports to the U.S. and shift more factories to American soil. But that was actually happening already. Volvo this year opened a new plant in Charleston, South Carolina, while VW, BMW and Daimler have all been expanding existing facilities in the States – as have a number of Asian manufacturers.
The White House has, if anything, been warned that new tariffs could be counterproductive. Volvo, for one, had originally planned to export about half of the vehicles produced in Charleston. But officials said last week they would slow the ramp-up of the new plant, and reduce hiring, because demand for the S60 sedan has plunged in China as a result of that country raising tariffs to 40% on American-made automobiles in response to higher U.S. duties.
BMW has also warned that it might shift some SUV production out of its Spartanburg, South Carolina plant due to the Chinese tariffs. It had been planning a further increase in capacity with the launch of its new sport-utility vehicle flagship, the X7.
Both sides tried to sound a positive note coming out of the Tuesday meeting at the White House, VW taking steps that could appease the president. Referencing comments made last month, CEO Herbert Diess said after the Washington conference that the automaker is "considering building a second car plant." It is expected to be focused on building new battery-electric vehicles of which VW and its dozen brands hope to have as many as 50 all-electric models in production by the middle of the coming decade.
Daimler chief Dieter Zetsche was upbeat about what came out of the meeting with Trump.
A senior source involved in those negotiations told TheDetroitBureau.com that VW and Ford will likely work together to develop and produce commercial vehicles. But there could be several other joint projects, the source hinted, including ones involving both electric and autonomous vehicles.
Scoring anything from the European automakers could help Trump shift focus away from the ongoing disputes over imported aluminum and steel tariffs – which are expected to cost automakers billions of dollars this year alone – as well as the trade struggle with China.
But the White House has since been trying to back off those original comments, indicating that there was, in fact, no deal reached. On Tuesday, even Trump had to come clean, now saying negotiations were getting underway and that they "probably will" lead to an agreement settling the trade dispute.
He also stressed his 90-day countdown for reaching a settlement. Declaring himself "a Tariff Man," he said he could alternately issue massive new tariffs against China.
This entry was posted on Wednesday, December 5th, 2018 at and is filed under Audi, Automakers, Automobiles, BMW, Business, Daimler, Europe, Executives, Markets, Mercedes, Personalities, Politicians, Sales, Trade, U.S./North America, Volkswagen. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. Both comments and pings are currently closed.
Tariffs are such a bad idea. Just because Germany ships us a car, doesn't mean we are being ripped off. Besides, all it does is raise prices for Americans, who Trump claims he is protecting. It also acts as a job killer, as outlined in the article. I know in Trump's small minded view of the world every deal has a winner and a loser, but in my mind, that is not the way to build a successful business or a successful relationship with other countries.

John Fairfield Dryden, född 7 augusti 1839 i Temple, Maine, död 24 november 1911 i Newark, New Jersey, var en amerikansk affärsman och republikansk politiker. Han grundade försäkringsbolaget Prudential Insurance Company (numera finanskoncern, Prudential Financial). Han representerade delstaten New Jersey i USA:s senat 1902-1907.

Dryden studerade vid Yale. Han grundade 1875 Prudential och var företagets verkställande direktör 1881-1911. Han efterträddes efter sin död av sonen Forrest F. Dryden.

Senator William Joyce Sewell avled den 27 december 1901 i ämbetet. Dryden tillträdde som senator i januari 1902. Han satt i senaten fram till slutet av Sewells mandatperiod i mars 1907. Han kandiderade till omval men drog sin kandidatur tillbaka efter att New Jerseys lagstiftande församling inte lyckades med att avgöra valet. Frank O. Briggs valdes sedan till Drydens efterträdare i senaten.

Drydens dotter Susie gifte sig med filantropen Anthony R. Kuser. Makarna Kuser donerade landområdet till delstaten för parken vid New Jerseys högsta punkt, High Point. Drydens dotterson, delstatspolitikern John Dryden Kuser, var Brooke Astors första make.

Drydens grav finns på Mount Pleasant Cemetery i Newark.

Q: MVC with Cordova/Phonegap? Most MVC-frameworks (e.g. Phalcon or Laravel) use PHP, or some other script language that uses curly brackets, and placeholders in view-templates and connect them to models and controllers.
 Each HTML-page that is outputted to the browser goes through PHP to fill-in data or variables.
But how would you create a Cordova app with that? It seems the only way would be to write all HTML and JS yourself and connect through PHP CRUD services. The templating could be done client-side, with AngularJS or some other Javascript framework. But the PHP views and controllers don't seem to play a role then anymore, so what's the point of still using an MVC framework in PHP then?
So my question is : in what way could PHP MVC-frameworks and Cordova be used together?  And if not, what are the alternatives?

Lettingweb Announces Strong Showing in Glasgow
By pressreporter February 17, 2012 No Comments2 Mins Read
(Edinburgh, 7/2/12) – Lettingweb revealed today that its operations in the West of Scotland continue to prosper, with flats to rent in Glasgow proving to be more popular than ever.
Figures published today by Lettingweb show that of its properties advertised in January of this year, the average time to let a flat to rent in Glasgow was 5.5 days, which is 96.80% quicker than January 2011's 56.8 days.
Steve Tigar, Operations Manager at Lettingweb, said: "We are committed to providing the very best services for agents, landlords and tenants in every territory that we enter. Though we are currently expanding the areas that Lettingweb operate in, we realise that you need a solid base to build your foundations on, and that's what we have with Scotland, and in particular Glasgow. Though we aim to prosper in every part of the country, we know that we need to continue to provide excellent return on investment in Scotland, and I feel that the improved figures that have been published to day proves that we aren't resting on our laurels as we strive to be the best."
These figures also represent a month on month improvement, as the same parameters for December 2011 returned an average of 15.5 days to let out a flat to rent in Glasgow, 64.52% longer than January 2012.
With demand for flats to rent in Glasgow continuing to increase, further good news for letting agents and landlords is that higher rents are being achieved. In January 2012 a two bedroom flat to rent in Glasgow averaged a rent achieved of £626.10, an increase of 6.17% from the previous month and 5.09% from the same period in time last year.
This trend is expected to continue as the year progresses.

FedEx Express Mid-Atlantic Hub to Hire 400 New Workers
Improving Economy and Greater Demand Spur Growth
For Immediate Release: August 16, 2018
Piedmont Triad – The FedEx Express Mid-Atlantic Hub at the Piedmont Triad International Airport will add approximately 400 employees over the next several months, according to company officials. FedEx Express has already begun advertising for these positions and hopes to have most of them filled by the end of December.
The new employees will bring total employment at the hub to more than 800 workers, and will include part-time, full-time and management positions.
"We are pleased to see FedEx growing at our airport," said Kevin Baker, Executive Director at PTI. "FedEx Express has been an important employer in the Triad for nearly a decade, but we believe today's announcement shows the real potential of the FedEx hub. The company will double its local payroll with this expansion."
FedEx Corp. employment in the Piedmont Triad is not limited to the Mid-Atlantic hub at the airport, Baker noted. Shortly after the air hub opened at the airport, FedEx Ground also opened a 400,000-square-foot, $110 million facility in nearby Kernersville that employs about 750 workers.
"One of the airport's primary commitments to the community is to bring jobs to the region," Baker said. "When one of our tenants adds 400 jobs, it's a good day for the airport and an even better day for the community."

A view of a truck making its way along the winter ice road through the Slave Geological Province.
The Northwest Territories hopes to begin building a new, all-season road toward Nunavut, through an area "rich in mineral deposits," in the next five years.
$2.7 million in federal funding, announced on Monday, will help the territory plan the road into an area known as the Slave Geological Province.
The eventual goal is to extend the road from Highway 4's present endpoint, at Tibbitt Lake, to the border with Nunavut.
A federal news release stated the territory hopes to begin building phase one of the project – a 179-km road from Tibbitt Lake to Lockhart Lake – "within five years."
Monday's announcement marks the second time this year the federal government has provided comparatively small sums of money to help large-scale NWT infrastructure projects, while promising Ottawa's long-term commitment to seeing those projects happen.
In January, the federal government announced just over $1 million to start the Taltson hydro expansion – seen as transformative for the NWT's economy, bringing cheaper, cleaner power to the territory, but also expected to cost in excess of $1 billion to complete.
At the time, federal northern affairs minister Dominic LeBlanc said his government would "make sure we can complete this project and do so in the right way."
On Monday, another federal minister – Navdeep Bains, responsible for economic development agency CanNor – said Ottawa was "committed to the creation of more good jobs, more economic growth and long-term sustainable development in the North."
Taltson's expansion and the Slave Geological Province road have both been talked about for many years.
They are seen as twin prongs of a major infrastructure push that will cost billions but, in the eyes of the territorial government, pay off in increased economic opportunities.
Neither project will be possible without the federal government shouldering most of the financial burden.
The Slave Geological Province road will "increase access to the world-class mineral deposits located in the region and lower the cost of mineral exploration and development," Wally Schumann, the territory's industry minister, said in a statement.
No cost estimate for the full project was given, but – like the Taltson expansion – the road would be expected to cost many hundreds of millions of dollars.
Monday's announcement took place in Toronto at the PDAC mining convention, meaning Cabin Radio was not able to immediately question ministers on its contents.
The federal $2.7-million investment, coupled with $678,000 from the NWT, will pay for some basic planning of the new road but not construction itself.
A separate federal payment of $2.4 million, with $280,000 from the NWT and $749,000 from "industry partners," will fund aerial geophysical surveys of the region.
"The surveys will lead to the development of mapping products used by mineral exploration companies to target their activity," read a federal news release.
Schumann said the territory hopes increasing the quality of publicly available data will stimulate development in the region, particularly if the NWT can demonstrate it is moving toward putting a road in place.
The Slave Geological Province, which covers an area to the north and east of Yellowknife in the direction of Nunavut, is already home to three operational diamond mines.
Federal background documents stated: "Existing mines are reached via a winter road and the immediate priority for the GNWT is to replace the southernmost section of the current winter road with an all-season gravel road.
"An all-season road could significantly improve the economics of many operating and potential resource projects by facilitating year-round access, as well as increasing the operating season of the winter road by at least 30 days."
Planning for the road will include consultation with Indigenous groups and wildlife and vegetation studies, a background document stated.
The territory argues replacing the winter ice road with an all-weather road will improve reliability of access, allow the creation of a power and communications link, and ultimately allow the NWT to use a Nunavut deep-water port.
Moreover, the NWT has in the past said a "firm commitment" to the road from Ottawa would "extend existing mine life and drive an immediate increase in exploration activity."
The finished road, once three major phases are completed, would be 413 km in length.

Increased courthouse security beginning today
By Jenny McNeece jmcneece@suncommercial.com
A major security upgrade made to the Knox County Courthouse more than a year ago will finally go live this morning.
The county commissioners in the fall of 2019 added several security measures to the courthouse, including the installation of metal detectors and x-ray machines.
Unfortunately, and largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they've merely been fixtures as deputies, according to Sheriff Doug Vantlin, had to be redistributed across all county offices, doing things like taking temperatures and enforcing the statewide mask mandate.
But this morning, the new metal detector and scanner will officially go live, he said, and be manned from now on by two sheriff's deputies.
"When people enter that Seventh Street side, and anybody who has been there already knows, but you'll have to follow the ropes," he said. "You'll be met by two deputies, and you'll have to put your briefcase or purse or whatever onto the x-ray machine just like at an airport.
"Then you'll have to walk through the metal detector."
The commissioners, too, more than a year ago changed the way visitors enter and move through the courthouse.
The entrance facing Eighth Street, for example, was permanently closed to visitors, allowing only employee access.
Visitors, for months, have had to enter through the Seventh Street side, specifically through the south door. That entrance is the only one, too, that is handicapped accessible.
A year prior, commissioner Kellie Streeter applied for and received a $76,000 homeland security grant, which paid for a majority of the improvements. The county council offered an additional $37,000, and county clerk David Shelton found money within his own budget to complete the cost of installing electronic doors throughout the courthouse, ones both exterior and interior, including over at the annex.

House Republicans who voted for impeachment explain why
The county council, too, eventually approved the hiring of two additional deputies.
Those two new deputies, the sheriff explained, were sent to the police academy — training that takes four months to complete.
One is back and on duty, he said. The other will finish within the month.
But with the recent COVID-19 surge easing — and more and more vaccines being given every day — Vantlin said he finally had the resources to begin using the new security equipment.
"We have enough personnel right now to go ahead and turn it on," he said. "Before, our resources were just spread too thin."
Vantlin said deputies at the courthouse actually turned the equipment on for awhile for a test run on Thursday; in just two hours, he said, they discovered four pocket knives and one set of brass knuckles.
Anyone found with such things on their person or in a bag will be asked to take them back to their vehicles. The deputies will not hold them, the sheriff said.
The equipment, he added, is a long time coming and should make for a much safer courthouse environment.
"Before, we had to just deal with every court, every office, individually," he said. "If someone had a weapon, we'd have to react.
"Now, we will be able to stop that stuff right at the front door."


The Map is Not the Territory: Critter Combinations: Grids, Arrays, Multiplication & More!
Critter Combinations: Grids, Arrays, Multiplication & More!
When I was in third grade I learned multiplication. Well, really, it's more like I memorized the facts. I learned about fractions too, but I never really understood them...at all. To this day, I have only a cursory understanding of ratios and percentages. I have higher hopes for my seven year old daughter, though, especially now that I know all of these subjects are related.
My daughter and I have explored a lot of different aspects of math over the last year (mental math, sums and differences, lots and lots of geometry, fractals in various forms, mathematical stars, flexagons, functions...). It's been great and we're still going to keep exploring the beauty and structure of patterns wherever and whenever they come up. But, I recently came to the decision that though it might be a challenge for both of us, multiplication was next. And I knew that my focus, for now, was not going to be about facts or memorization, it was going to be about comprehension.
My daughter has basically understood the groupings concept of multiplication for a while now, well before she mastered addition and subtraction. It's of the 'cookies on the plate' variety, except for one of my favorite lessons using multiples of threes to make stars. Fortunately, I recently found a great card game from Let's Play Math (a free download, which I wrote about here) that helped me introduce the idea of multiplication as a number sentence, arrays, groupings, and measurement. We've also started playing with this Primitives Application (which is really more about factoring, but for the elementary mathematician the visual groupings can't be beat). I first found out about the primitives app from Maria Droujkova of Natural Math. And, I recently purchased and hung Natural Math's Multiplication Models poster in a prominent place just so I can ponder all the wonderful information in it. If my kid gravitates toward it, all the better.
I was pointing it out to my daughter -- "Look, a cat-dog! Let's call it a cog!" I was having fun coming up with silly names for each combination and that's when it hit me. I was actually understanding the process of combining something other than dance steps.
Then I thought: Grids. Arrays. Multiplication. Perfect. Let's make our own!
I made a quick grid that night and upped the combinations to 4x4. I asked my daughter what animals she'd like and found some clip art that worked.
The next morning I ran into a roadblock. The kid was not happy about cutting up all the animals in to heads and bodies. Not. At. All. I quickly changed that to 'tops' and 'bottoms' hoping for a less gruesome association to only partial success (she covered her eyes every time I cut an animal in two).
To insure that this activity didn't drag on, I did most of the cutting and pasting. I suppose it would make a good fine motor activity, but I wanted her to focus on the combining rather than the preparation.
We started with the pig 'top' and bear 'bottom' (hee hee) and called that one a 'Pear' and continued haphazardly from there. In retrospect, I wish we had moved left to right and top to bottom on the grid, pasting parts and making up the names from there. Giving them combination names was a good challenge but if I had another chance to do this again I would formalize the naming process by using the animal top to blend in with the animal bottom or vice versa. You can't name a pig top/horse bottom the same as a horse top/pig bottom, right? They're different creatures altogether. So, for example, Pig/Bear would be "Pear" and Bear/Pig might be "Big".
Although I wish we had filled in the grid in a more organized manner, it also did work out the way we did it, too. I'd ask, what combination do you want to do now? She'd choose and then I'd ask her to find the square where that combo animal had to go on the grid. She didn't quite get it at first, but after a few combinations she had the hang of it.
At the end I guided her through counting the rows and columns and finding the total number of combinations we had made. I also focused on writing the answer in two different number sentences, as multiplication and again as repeated addition. By the end, I realized just how dense this kind of activity is. If I do it again, I'd plan for a large grid (maybe 6x6?) but I'd have us combine three animal tops and bottoms to start with. Depending on the kid, you can add one or two more animals to the mix or even just (aha!) predict how many more combinations you would have with the addition of each new animal. And, then you can make a connection to square numbers. Cool!
Okay, I'm revising the list of math activity/topics in this post: growing patterns (algebra), square numbers, grids, arrays, multiplication, and combinations. When your students are done with this deceptively simple activity give them a big pat on the back and then take them out for ice cream. I also owe my daughter a big thank you for being a fairly willing guinea pig on what turned out to be a very tired day for her.
If you want another similar and super fun grid/combinations activity check out this great post from Yelena at Moebius Noodles called Mr. Potato Head is Good at Math. It's fantastic.
And, don't forget to check out all the fun we're having over at the Math in Your Feet Facebook page! Today we found the math in an incredible flower from Argentina!

Irregular Quadrangle Chess
In this article I will design an unorthodox chessboard I call Irregular Quadrangle Chess, and formulate appropriate chess rules.
The chessboard with initial arrangement of pieces is illustrated in the diagram on the right. It comprises 96 shaded quadrangles. Each player has nine pieces and eleven pawns. The files are a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i on one side and j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r on the other side. The pawn, like the pawn of orthodox chess, moves forwards from one shaded quadrangle to the next shaded quadrangle.
Example: white pawn on c3 can move to the next shaded quadrangle c4.
Also, when the pawn reaches a quadrangle near the frontier line (L), he can either change direction and move forward along another file toward the side (C) for promotion (for white) and the side (A) for black, or he may continue moving on the same file.
Example: If white pawn is on the quadrangle b4, then on the next move, he can either continue on the file b or take the file i and move to i5 (or p5). Also, when the pawn reaches the sides (B) or (D) he can change direction and move along another file towards the side (C) for white, resp the side (A) for black.
Example: if white pawn is on g5, then on the next move he can move to p6, then p7 then p8 and be promoted. The prise en passant is as follows: Example: let's say that white pawn is on the quadrangle c4 and the black pawn is on the quadrangle r5, then if on the next move r5 moves to r4, then white pawn on c4 can capture it en passant and go to r5.
Also at the start of the game, the pawn can optionally move two shaded quadrangles at a time.
The Knight moves in L like the usual Knight (two shaded quadrangles obliquely, and one perpendicularly (see path of the Knight in illustration at right). Example: Nb1-e3, Nb1-d1, Ne3-g3, Ng3-i5, etc...
The Bishop moves diagonally (like the usual Bishop) from shaded quadrangle to other shaded quadrangle. Example: Bc1-f3, Bf3-i3, Bi3-a6, etc... (see path of the Bishop in illustration at right).
The Rook moves along its file (like the usual Rook) from shaded quadrangle to other shaded quadrangle. Example: Ra1-a6, Ra6-g3, Rg3-g5, Rg5-c7, etc... Like the pawn when it reaches the sides (C) or(D) it can take another file and move along it.
The Queen moves either like the Rook or the Bishop.
The King moves like the Queen, but one shaded quadrangle to another shaded quadrangle at a time.
The Castlings are done like the 9x9 chess, and are symmetrical. Example: Ke1-g1 and Rj1-f1, Ke1-c1 and Ra1-d1.
Remark: To avoid confusion for recording chess games, we will simply adopt the following: up to the frontier (L) White pieces moves are recorded in terms of the files a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j. Once they are in the black field, their moves will be recorded in terms of the files j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r. This also will apply for black pieces when they reach the frontier line (L). Example: If white pawn is on the quadrangle b6 of the file b we prefer to record it as m6, because he is on the black fields. Finally, the game ends with mating the King.
Remark: No pawn or piece can move on the no shaded quadrangles. of the chessboard.
The particularity of this irregular Quadrangles chess is that it is a perspective chess, a sort of hyperbolic chess (because the pawn (optional), Bishop and Queen vertical diagonal moves describe a hyperbola path. Because of the pieces move only on the shaded quadrangles, this chess games is no longer than the usual 8x8 chess.

The holidays are inching closer and closer.. As a Canadian living in the USA, I love this time of year. From mid November until Christmas there are so many festivities that it makes me giddy. Parties, TV specials, turkey, food, hot chocolate, wine ..
Well hello turkey! Timeless Treasures and Pellon loved my Quilted Chicken Bread Basket from last year and asked me to come up with a Thanksgiving version.. I had to wrap my head around this one and find the differences between a turkey and a chicken. I wasn't sure what this quilted version should look like. I googled "what do turkeys look like" [ yes, I did..] and came up with a bunch of images for inspiration. After I figured out what my turkey should look like, this became a lot of fun.
Timeless Treasures sent me a selection of their holiday line of fabric to use for this little guy. Their gold patterned fabric was PERFECT for the turkey body while their tonal solids were great for everywhere else.
This is more of a inspirational post.. Check out my full chicken tutorial from last November. You can also download the PDF version from the Pellon Projects website.
I quilted the turkey body and wing fabric. Want to quilt your own fabric?? No problem, check out my easy tutorial here.
Ok.. Let the fun begin.
Step 1 – Lay the chicken and wing pattern pieces on the quilted material and cut out.. Important – mirror your pieces.
Step 2 – Cut bias tape for each wing and also the ovals. Pin, sew the bias tape around the oval and then tuck the tail under/towards the back and backstitch.
Step 4 – Cut the turkey face and tail pieces from the "sandwich" fabric. I used the chicken pattern pieces [found on the Pellon website] for reference and tweaked the details. Topstitch around the outside edge for stability.
Step 5 – Fold the beak in half. Place the beak and wattle [ little dangly thing] pieces onto the turkey's face. Place the tail at the back. Note that all pieces face INWARDS.. When you sew the turkey together and turn right side out, they will pop outwards.
Step 6 – Pin the wing in place just above the oval. Adjust accordingly and make sure it fully covers the oval hole. Stitch down. Start the stitch approximately 1″ from the wing tip and end 1″ from the the oval center front. Repeat for the other wing.
Step 7 – Place turkey right sides together. Make sure the face and tail features do not sit in the 1/2″ seam allowance. Pin. Place into sewing machine and stitch with a 1/2″ seam allowance. Press seams. Measure and turn up bottom seam 1/2″. Pin. Place into sewing machine and edge stitch. Leave a small 1″ opening for the elastic. Turn right side out. Wiggle the corners into place. Press.
Step 8 – Cut approximately 15″ of elastic. Place a pin at one end and insert into the opening. Pull through entirely. Adjust gathers. Sew elastic together as well the the opening shut.
Step 9- Sew your button eyes in place.
That's it. While this is a bread basket cover.. think of all the different uses. I thought I'd try cookies this time around. Not sure the cookies will last in my house, my toddler found the turkey last night and sure had fun pulling a cookies out.
Oh really? Wow. What did you do..? it's my husband's. He is the cook, not me.
Those Turkey are as cute as a button, even cuter! Your daughter is sure to treasure this beauty.

Man Suffered A Lot Surprisedly Got $1.5 Million for Selling A "Normal" Blanket Passed by Family through Generations
For with God, all things are possible. We may suffer from a lot of struggles in life and we sometimes think that there's no way left to get out of the situation. Nobody's there to help us because nobody gives importance to us. The whole world may turn their back and leave you hanging but God will not forsake His children. Whatever storm we encounter, our Father in heaven will remain faithful in preparing us a rainbow after the rain.
LT suffered from an injury caused by a car crash and he was living his life trying to survive while depending on his disability check every month. He lost one leg and now his situation is a lot harder than before. He was watching television when he caught an episode of Antiques Roadshow and on this episode, they featured Navajo's chief blanket that was appraised for over half a million dollars. LT realized that he also has a similar blanket that was part of his heirloom. That blanket really looked the same like that on the television and it was an old blanket passed down to him by his family.
He then tried to contact an appraiser and he was given a scheduled date for auction by John Moran. LT waited for this big day and without his knowledge, this day will change his whole life by God's will. The time has come for the auction to take place and he was a bit nervous by that time. His wife was also there showing some love and support to him. It was a shocking incident when the auction ended at $1.5 million. LT couldn't believe that his blanket was a real thing and a whole lot of money in equivalence. Now all his problems are gone and life would be easier for him. He was thinking of buying his own house and maybe fix his car a little.
Our recent situation is temporary. We may suffer a lot today but believe me, God has store something great for us! We just need to find Him in our heart and claim His promise that He will be giving us whatever we ask in prayer. Watch the video and feel LT's emotion during the auction day. This is a testimony that God will always be good in our lives no matter what hardship life may bring.

Fabiano Caruana to Challenge for World Chess Championship

Michael LoRé
Sports Editor28 March 2018
Fabiano Caruana won the World Chess Candidates Tournament, and an opportunity to become the first World Chess Champion from the United States in more than 40 years when he faces reigning champion Magnus Carlsen from Nov. 9-28 in London at the 2018 World Chess Championship.
Caruana will be the first American to challenge for the World Chess Championship since Gata Kamsky lost to Anatoly Karpov (Russia) in 1996. Should Caruana defeat Carlsen (Norway), he will become the first American World Chess Champion since Bobby Fischer in 1972.
"I am absolutely thrilled," Caruana said in a release. "Coming into today, I wasn't sure what would happen. A few days ago, I thought the tournament was out of my hands, but somehow things came together perfectly at the end. I really couldn't be happier."

Caruana, who was born in Miami, relocated with his family to New York City when he was five years old. He learned to play chess in Park Slope, Brooklyn at an after-school program. His first official tournament was held at the Susan Polgar Chess Center in Queens. Caruana began training with renowned national master Bruce Pandolfini when he was six, and by the time he was 10, Caruana became the youngest American to defeat a Grandmaster in an official tournament.
Two years later, he obtained the international title of FIDE Master. Caruana became the youngest Grandmaster in American history when he was 14 years old, trumping a title held by Fischer.
Caruana, 25, earned the right to challenge Carlsen for the World Chess Champion title, which the Norwegian has defended twice (2014, 2016) since first obtaining it in 2013, by outlasting seven of the world's top chess players during the World Chess Candidates Tournament in Berlin. Caruana finished with nine points—a full point ahead of Sergey Karjakin (Russia) and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov (Azerbaijan), who tied for second.
Each win in the tournament was worth one point and each draw was worth a half point.
"This tournament shows that chess is an exciting and thrilling sport," said Ilya Merenzon, CEO of World Chess. "Caruana's dramatic win will certainly affect popularity of chess in the U.S. and will bring us the most exciting match since Fischer vs. (Boris) Spassky."
The 2018 World Chess Championship Match will take place in London between November 9-28.

Medicines for Malaria Venture
WCAIR and MMV partner together across the drug discovery and development pipeline. The DDU provides a screening service for MMV, using our expertise to test compounds from other MMV partners. The DDU have selected and curated compound libraries for MMV and our compound management team provide assay ready screening plates to groups across the world. MMV are funding the DDU malaria team to undertake drug discovery for a new validated target in the Plasmodium falciparum parasite. In addition, MMV is supporting the Mode of Action group in developing thermal proteome profiling as an approach to determine the molecular targets of anti-malarial compounds. In 2015 the DDU partnership with MMV published a novel anti-malaria compound in the journal Nature. The DDU team won MMV team of the year in 2014 for their contribution to the discovery of the compound. Merck KgaA, supported by MMV, are progressing this compound through early clinical trials to test its safety and effectiveness in human volunteers.

The Drug Discovery Unit (DDU) and GSK Global Health Research and Development unit in Tres Cantos, Spain have been working together since 2011 with a shared commitment on neglected diseases. In April 2018 GSK signed an agreement to collaborate with the DDU and DNDi to discover new pre-clinical candidates for leishmaniasis and Chagas disease
In July 2018 scientists at WCAIR and GSK published a new pre-clinical candidate for visceral leishmaniasis . An additional, pre-clinical candidate for visceral leishmaniasis has been identified, details of which will be published in the near future. The partnership continues to address unmet medical need for these diseases, with a current focus on Chagas disease.
Tuberculosis Drug Discovery
The DDU Tuberculosis (TB) team are embedded in a number of partnerships whose aim is to discover and develop innovative new medicines to shorten the duration of TB treatment and provide alternative treatments to tackle TB resistant to existing therapies. The DDU is a partner in the SHORTEN-TB programme sponsored by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH). In addition, the DDU TB team is funded directly by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to identify novel late stage pre-clinical candidates. Because of its commitment to TB research the DDU is a member of the TB Drug Accelerator a unique consortium whose stated aim is discovering multiple mechanistically distinct TB candidates sufficient to advance a drug regiment to a 1 month POC by 2024.
Read more about the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health.
Drug discovery research at the DDU is supported directly and indirectly by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Gates Foundation directly supports the DDU TB team to create lead candidates for TB and progress them through pre-clinical studies. The Gates Foundation is also the major funder of partnership programmes involving the DDU TB and malaria teams including FNIH SHORTEN-TB, the TB Drug Accelerator, the Structure-guided Drug Discovery Coalition (SDDC) and Malaria Drug Accelerator (MALDA).
