It is therefore necessary to ensure that when replacing a later style top cover (with the integrated relief valve) that either the same design of top cover is used or a relief valve is fitted into the system somehow.
We've already mentioned that the earlier pumps had a relief valve fitted to the pump itself.
The later pumps had a blanking plate over where the valve was fitted, so it is simply a case of removing the blanking plate and fitting a new relief valve.
This is the option that Keith took with his TEF-20 when faced with this situation.
This isn't as neat as the internal valve option, but it would never the less do the job and get your tractor going.
An off-the-shelf pressure relief valve could be plumbed into one of the external ports with a return back to the reservoir. Normally returns would be plumbed in below the oil reservoir to prevent foaming, but this shouldn't be strictly necessary for the odd occasion that a relief valve would operate.
Once fitted, start with it slack and then adjust upwards to the specified pressure using a pressure gauge.
I purchased a copy of your DVD on TE-20 Hydraulics a couple of months back. It is excellent and I could not have asked for more.
My problem is salt water has got in via the PTO and I have had a major refurbishment and cleanup on my hands.
All ready to put it back together and have hit a major problem with the top lift cover. The arms are frozen and clearly salt water/emulisified oil has meant a total sieze up. We cannot shift the arms off to get the bushes or spline out. Incidently my TEA is a 1956 serial 517+. It was one of the last 750 ever built.
The solution was to purchase a replacement top cover. It arrived last week and sadly is off an earlier model, and the poppet type safety valve is missing. Mine does not fit as its the later ball type per your video. I am tearing my hair out as I cannot locate the correct poppet valve. Seems there is more than one size of earlier editions. My new replacement cover has a much smaller diameter hole.
Can I just blank it off and have no valve at all? I only use the Fergie for boat launching so there is no extreme hydraulic pressure being exerted on the unit anyway. If that's not possible, then can I modify the ball type valve assembly, or the larger diameter poppet valve that I am the proud owner of! Thanks for any assistance.
It is clearly too dangerous to have a system without a relief valve in there. One mistake by the operator (or an unsuspecting operator) and you could easily end up looking for another top cover; or worse still, have an accident.
If you are unable to source the parts you need then hopefully one of the options highlighted above will work for you.

NSU campus offers versatile spaces perfect for any event
ABERDEEN, S.D. – When it comes to event spaces, Northern State University is the perfect fit for any type of gathering, large or small.
"It's not a one size fits all," said NSU Event Coordinator Kami Spieker. "We will find a space that works for your particular needs."
Northern is increasing its efforts to host more outside events, Spieker said, both as a means of regional outreach and because the university now has the right staff in place to do events well. It also has the right event spaces, from small conference rooms for meetings of a few people up to an auditorium that can seat hundreds.
Best of all, the spaces on campus are versatile.
"They're just big, empty blank canvases, and we bring in the tables and the chairs and the décor," Spieker explained.
NSU Offers Versatility, Variety
Versatility and variety are major advantages of holding your event at Northern. Spieker said you don't just get the same big, echoing convention hall found at most conferences, but an assortment of unique spaces.
"If you have a feel you want, we can match it," she said.
If that's a modern look, there are spaces such as the state-of-the-art conference room in the new Athletic and Recreation Fields Pavilion. Or if it's a homier feel, the wood-paneled Lincoln Gallery is a great fit.
"It's just a really beautiful space," Spieker said.
Other options include the NSU Student Center Centennial Rooms, which can be divided into smaller sections or used as one big room, or the Johnson Fine Arts Center lobby, which is perfect for small celebrations.
Support Throughout Process
When you reserve a space on campus, you're getting more than a room rental – you're getting support throughout the event planning process.
"We do all of the logistics," Spieker said.
That includes room set-up, IT services and custodial support. Campus catering is available through Aramark, offering anything from coffee to a full plated meal.
Northern is open to hosting any type of event; indeed, campus has held everything from a multi-day annual convention to a private family wedding. Spieker said alcohol is allowed in certain spaces on campus, though an approval process is required.
"If that's something that you want, let us know," Spieker said. "We'll have a conversation about it and see how we can help you with that."
Lodging Also Available
Northern also has housing options available, including Steele Hall, which is currently offline to students. Steele recently housed South Dakota School for the Blind and Visually Impaired alumni during a reunion, and Northern Athletics also uses it for recruit visits, said NSU Assistant Director of Residence Life Brad Wolfe.
Right now, Steele is closed during the cold-weather season as a cost savings, but it will reopen in March. At that point, Wolfe and Residence Life Director Marty Sabolo see more opportunities for the facility. It could be an additional lodging option during major local events, such as State B Tournaments, or an option for local organizations bringing small groups to town for events.
Over the summer, Northern's newest halls – Great Plains West, Great Plains East and Wolves Memorial Suites – will also be available for lodging in the same way as Steele, Sabolo said. People staying in NSU residence halls are provided linens and have access to the lounge and kitchen, with dining options available through Aramark. Sabolo said Aramark could even provide catering services for a group hosting an event and staying on campus.
Showcasing Campus
Sabolo said he thought of the idea to use the residence halls this way after President Downs challenged campus to be entrepreneurial. It provides a service to the community while showcasing Northern's campus.
"Anytime we can bring guests to campus, it should be seen as an opportunity to recruit students," Sabolo said.
Wolfe said he's worked at universities in the past that hosted camps and conferences in this manner.
"It's nice to come in and be a part of the ground up," Wolfe said. "Because I think our end goal is to really showcase our buildings and the campus to potential students and build partnerships in the community as well."
For more information about campus lodging, contact Wolfe at 605-626-3007 or Bradley.Wolfe@northern.edu.
For more information about NSU Event Planning, call Spieker at 605-626-2517, or email NSUevents@northern.edu or Kami.Spieker@northern.edu.
About Northern State University

Promethean Theatre Company
Where and When December 11-23, 2021, 8pm Tues-Sat, 3pm matinées Sundays + matinee on Sat, Dec. 18 (Preview on December 10) | Jericho Arts Centre, 1675 Discovery St, Vancouver
Director & Producer Isaac Li General Manager Erin Purghart Sound Design & Music Director Jared Ager-Foster Fight Directors Mike Kovac & Sylvie La Rivière Set Design Marcus Vaillant Lighting & Projection Design Charlie Beaver Costume Design Shel Wyminga Props Design Elliot Roberts Stage Manager Diyalla Malijian
Reviewer Christian Steckler
King Lear is one of Shakespeare's strongest tragedies. It deals not only with his familiar investigations into power and personality, but with complex levels of intrigue compounded by the onset of insanity, raising the question of whether circumstances cause mental breakdown, or vice versa.
Promethean Theatre's production is a valiant interpretation of the play, mixing modern and old, in a manner that draws attention and appreciation. Li's direction, in whittling the play down to three hours, is strong. Nothing is lost from the story line, and events unfold in a clear, comprehensible way. Action is well distributed and meaningful.
Kerry Woodrow's portrayal of King Lear reveals a self-absorbed lout who has been too long on the throne, and who takes his importance and privilege for granted. Woodrow's performance is especially strong in the early stages, when he is testing the fidelity of his daughters, and when he carouses drunk. His slide into insanity is believable, though it often carries echoes of his drunken behaviour. His climactic rant during a raging storm was less powerful than the dialogue might suggest because it varied little from that of his drunken debauchery. A production note here: Sounds and sights of wind might have helped to fully impact the tumult that dictated the moment.
Taylor Long's portrayal of Goneril was powerful. She drew the appropriate amount of disgust from the audience with her very believable contrivances and manipulations. Ava Maria Safai played Regan well also, displaying a different personality from that of her sister - calmer in demeanour, but just as evil. Trisha Li's performance as Cordelia, the truest heart of the three, was admirable, showing credible moments of shock, despair, and determination.
Performances by other key players were noteworthy. Kurtis Maguire's work as Kent, and as the disguised Second Servant was really impressive, as was Chris Cope's evil Cornwall. Shel Wyminga's energy and true-hearted fidelity showed real talent as Edgar, and Joelle Wyminga's duplicitous Edmund earned the disdain of the audience with a strong, credible performance. Yasmin Tayob's loyal Gloucester was nicely portrayed, though difficult to hear most of the time. Finally, let us give credit to Syd Castle, whose performance was cheeky enough, confident enough, mischievous enough, to shine as a fine Fool of the Court.
The production staff also deservse mention. Vaillant's set was simple and sparse, allowing for light and shadow to set the mood. Beaver's lighting was effective and appropriate to the various scenes, and Ager-Foster's sound effects were mostly very good, though sounds and sights of a good strong wind would greatly enhance one of the play's most powerful scenes.
All in all, this presentation of King Lear is an ambitious, stout-hearted production. With some greater attention by some on their lines, and by a few on their voice projection, it can be a truly memorable one. It is definitely worth seeing, and should be on your theatre list.

The Returned from Active Service Badge (RASB) is issued to Australian Defence Force personnel who have rendered warlike service.
Its purpose is to enable individuals to display their involvement in warlike service while in civilian attire, where the wearing of a medal denoting such service is not appropriate or possible. The ability for veterans to wear a badge recognising the service and sacrifice involved in rendering war service to Australia is a befitting tribute to these veterans.
As the award of the RASB is not governed by statute, it has been the practice of Australian Governments to determine conditions of eligibility for each conflict in accordance with the circumstances existing at the time.
Contemporarily, it is awarded automatically with the Australian Active Service Medal 1945-75 and current Australian Active Service Medal.

The illustrations for this book draw from a phenomenal talent pool. We pooled our art supplies and children's books and turned Becky's unfurnished apartment into an illustration studio as everyone spread out on the floor and worked together. Connie drew our main Homeville backdrop. Dan stopped by almost unannounced and whipped up an incredible Vegas scene out of his head. Eva spent hours upon hours perfecting our three main characters. Caylin, Kat, Cat, and Becky worked on miscellaneous characters and props. Becky found the ocean on a postcard Elizabeth painted in 2005.
Then Jillia drew from her theater background to be our artistic director, arranging all the characters and props in different scenes. Mark took amazing photos. Meanwhile in Seattle Bill stayed up all night finishing up the graphic design.
As a result we created an incredible collaborative process, which was not only really fun but also produced what we think are really stunning images. Here's a look at how the illustrations came together.

Things I Know To Be True Review
"From the Gumtree I could see the world…at least, our world".
The Price family dynamic is familiar. There are spats, arguments, and the endearing bumblings of dad, Bob. The set, the backyard and garden of 25 Windarie Avenue, is pristine and pruned to perfection- save the overbearing and overgrown Gumtree. There's a sense of preservation to the yard throughout, that the scene is kept as is, desperately afraid of change. Even as the years and seasons come and go, there's a reluctance to disturb the garden- the place of family barbeques, weddings, and togetherness. There is a particular swiftness to the lighting (Emma Hunt), at times highlighting the porch, the rose bed or the faces. There's a well-done sense of time and place, despite the set's, and the story's desire to remain the same.
Bob (played by Matthew Storey) is the kind of funny uncle, brother or friend that provides a warm sense of levity when you need it most. He is exquisitely performed by Storey, whose forward gait and witty remarks break the tension over and over. Then there's mum, Fran (played by Amelia Watson) - the story's potentially most complex character. She's tough and difficult to understand, perpetually angry at the world - her world – while doing anything in her power to protect it. Watson's performance is truly stand-out here, she creates an effortless backstory of difficult decisions, resilience and strength. I am left with her performance especially when the smallest of cracks allow us to see through to a woman tired of battles and world-weary.
The four children, Pip Price (Erin Bushe), Mark/Mia Price (Matthew Sedman), Rosy Price (Maddy Chisholm-Scott), and Ben Price (Liam Bradbury) are also very well played. However, save for Sedman and Chisholm-Scott's touching scene, there's a lacking sense of siblingship. Not perhaps necessarily of any more importance than to say that the children's individual stories, their relationships with their parents are the focus here. That the family home, the yard, and the garden are the focus here.
The refrain "grow-up" hit almost too close to home, (as it will for nearly all fourth-year students,) watching the characters move through heartbreak and betrayal in search of acceptance (of themselves firstly). There's a larger refrain too, the difference between "our world", the familiarity of it, and "the world" that necessitates a leap into the unknown. I'm left with a sense of tenderness and introspection, that my world, my comfortable university world is about to end too- and what this means for the inevitability of moving into "the world".
Things I Know to be True runs at Bedlam Theatre until 12 October 2019.

Whole-Module Optimization in Swift 3
Erik Eckstein
Whole-module optimization is an optimization mode of the Swift compiler. The performance win of whole-module optimization heavily depends on the project, but it can be up to two or even five times.
Whole-module optimization can be enabled with the -whole-module-optimization (or -wmo) compiler flag, and in Xcode 8 it is turned on by default for new projects. Also the Swift Package Manager compiles with whole-module optimizations in release builds.
So what is it about? Let's first look at how the compiler works without whole-module optimizations.
Modules and how to compile them
A module is a set of Swift files. Each module compiles down to a single unit of distribution—either a framework or an executable. In single-file compilation (without -wmo) the Swift compiler is invoked for each file in the module separately. Actually, this is what happens behind the scenes. As a user you don't have to do this manually. It is automatically done by the compiler driver or the Xcode build system.
After reading and parsing a source file (and doing some other stuff, like type checking), the compiler optimizes the Swift code, generates machine code and writes an object file. Finally the linker combines all object files and generates the shared library or executable.
In single-file compilation the scope of the compiler's optimizations is just a single file. This limits cross-function optimizations, like function inlining or generic specialization, to functions which are called and defined in the same file.
Let's look at an example. Let's assume one file of our module, named utils.swift, contains a generic utility data structure Container<T> with a method getElement and this method is called throughout the module, for example in main.swift.
main.swift:
func add (c1: Container<Int>, c2: Container<Int>) -> Int {
return c1.getElement() + c2.getElement()
utils.swift:
struct Container<T> {
var element: T
func getElement() -> T {
return element
When the compiler optimizes main.swift it does not know how getElement is implemented. It just knows that it exists. So the compiler generates a call to getElement. On the other hand, when the compiler optimizes utils.swift, it does not know for which concrete types the function is called. So it can only generate the generic version of the function which is much slower than code which is specialized for a concrete type.
Even the simple return statement in getElement needs a lookup in the type's metadata to figure out how to copy the element. It could be a simple Int, but it could also be a larger type, even involving some reference counting operations. The compiler just doesn't know.
Whole-module optimization
With whole-module optimization the compiler can do a lot better. When compiling with the -wmo option, the compiler optimizes all files of a module as a whole.
This has two big advantages. First, the compiler sees the implementation of all functions in a module, so it can perform optimizations like function inlining and function specialization. Function specialization means that the compiler creates a new version of a function which is optimized for a specific call-context. For example, the compiler can specialize a generic function for concrete types.
In our example, the compiler produces a version of the generic Container which is specialized for the concrete type Int.
struct Container {
var element: Int
func getElement() -> Int {
Then the compiler can inline the specialized getElement function into the add function.
return c1.element + c2.element
This compiles down to just a few machine instructions. That's a big difference compared to the single-file code where we had two calls to the generic getElement function.
Function specialization and inlining across files are just examples of optimizations the compiler is able to do with whole-module optimizations. Even if the compiler decides not to inline a function, it helps a lot if the compiler sees the implementation of the function. For example it can reason about its behavior regarding reference counting operations. With this knowledge the compiler is able to remove redundant reference counting operations around a function call.
The second important benefit of whole-module optimization is that the compiler can reason about all uses of non-public functions. Non-public functions can only be used within the module, so the compiler can be sure to see all references to such functions. What can the compiler do with this information?
One very basic optimization is the elimination of so called "dead" functions and methods. These are functions and methods which are never called or otherwise used. With whole-module optimizations the compiler knows if a non-public function or method is not used at all, and if that's the case it can eliminate it. So why would a programmer write a function, which is not used at all? Well, this is not the most important use case for dead function elimination. Often functions become dead as a side-effect of other optimizations.
Let's assume that the add function is the only place where Container.getElement is called. After inlining getElement, this function is not used anymore, so it can be removed. Even if the compiler decides to not inline getElement, the compiler can remove the original generic version of getElement, because the add function only calls the specialized version.
With single-file compilation the compiler driver starts the compilation for each file in a separate process, which can be done in parallel. Also, files which were not modified since the last compilation don't need to be recompiled (assuming all dependencies are also unmodified). That's called incremental compilation. All this saves a lot of compile time, especially if you only make a small change. How does this work in whole-module compilation? Let's look at how the compiler works in whole-module optimization mode in more detail.
Internally the compiler runs in multiple phases: parser, type checking, SIL optimizations, LLVM backend.
Parsing and type checking is very fast in most cases, and we expect it to get even faster in subsequent Swift releases. The SIL optimizer (SIL stands for "Swift Intermediate Language") performs all the important Swift-specific optimizations, like generic specialization, function inlining, etc. This phase of the compiler typically takes about one third of the compilation time. Most of the compilation time is consumed by the LLVM backend which runs lower-level optimizations and does the code generation.
After performing whole-module optimizations in the SIL optimizer the module is split again into multiple parts. The LLVM backend processes the split parts in multiple threads. It also avoids re-processing of a part if that part didn't change since the previous build. So even with whole-module optimizations, the compiler is able to perform a big part of the compilation work in parallel (multi-threaded) and incrementally.
Whole-module optimization is a great way to get maximum performance without having to worry about how to distribute Swift code across files in a module. If optimizations, like described above, kick in at a critical code section, performance can be up to five times better than with single-file compilation. And you get this high performance with much better compile times than typical to monolithic whole-program optimization approaches.

Microsoft: No Xbox 720 release in 2012
By Chris Smith 2012-01-31T01:50:00.3Z
Console still likely to get E3 2012 reveal?
The Xbox 720 will not go on sale in 2012, says Microsoft France
The French arm of Microsoft has stated that there will be no new Xbox 720 console (now called the Xbox One) released before the end of the year.
The marketing director of Microsoft France, Cedrick Delmas says the Xbox 360's life-cycle is not over and that it has no intention of rushing out a competitor for the Nintendo Wii U in time for Christmas.
When asked about the new Xbox for E3 rumors he told Lepoint.fr (translated): "We're in an industry that talks a lot, that likes telling stories. I am not convinced that things will happen this year. The Xbox 360's cycle is not over at all. The proof is that we haven't price cut this year.
"Afterward, what will happen at E3, it's still too early to say. What's certain is that there will be nothing new in 2012. If we wanted to counter Nintendo, we would have to be in a position to release something immediately, and that is not at all the case.
"We're not here to counter Nintendo and they're not here to fight the other manufacturers. Nintendo has put itself in a different cycle, it's going forward to its own rhythm, with success as we have seen with the Wii, and now it's their turn to present their innovation."
Clear run for the Wii U
Delmas' comments suggest that Microsoft does indeed have something up its sleeve for the annual E3 expo in June, but will bide its time until 2013 before making the console available.
Nintendo recently promised to have the Wii U on sale by the end of 2012 and is likely to unleash a largely improved iteration of the device than that which was on show at E3 in 2011.
With no real rumblings of a PS4 launch, even in 2013, it looks like Nintendo will have a clear shot at the Christmas market with the console so crucial to its future prosperity.

We don't know about you, but ever since Rustom's new song 'Tere Sang Yaara' released, we have been playing it on loop. You too? Can you blame us? The song is so beautiful, all thanks to our favourite Pakistani singer Atif Aslam! And like everyone else, we also think that this Atif Aslam song is going to be 2016's love anthem! Yes, we know, half the year is left, but the song is just so mesmerizing!
Not only is this song 1995's love anthem, but also one of the best romantic songs Bollywood has ever gifted us! Dreaming about your Raj already?
We asked someone for this year's love anthem and their answer was instant: "Obviously Bahon Ke Darmiyan, dude!" Are you singing and swaying to this song? We know we are!
Not kidding, this song has played in our heads every single time we have fallen in love! Next time you are on a nice first date, you will also end up hearing it!
When you love someone, kuch kuch hota hai, right? Well, this song says it all! Such romance, much swoon!
So many feelings, we can't even! Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai define #relationshipgoals in this song! Also, we can't help but mention 'Tadap Tadap Ke' as another favourite romantic song!
This year marked not only the new millennium, but also the year when Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai was released! Yes, it's an event to remember forever. Why? Because this song!
All those times when you've felt like dancing with your bae in the middle of nowhere? We've got to thank 'Suraj Hua Maddham' for all those feels!
If this song wasn't part of the movie, Saathiya wouldn't be Saathiya! Our lives have never remained the same after this song!
Oooh, we don't think we need to mention this one! Definitely one to appear on our 'favourites' list, 'Jadu Hai Nasha Hai' is an amazing track to listen to anytime, anywhere!
A classic when it comes to romantic songs, Veer-Zara's 'Tere Liye' wins the cake when it comes to making us feel romantic. Lata Mangeshkar and Roop Kumar Rathod's duet makes this song even more splendid!
When Shreya Goshal and Sonu Nigam collaborate for a song, you can bet on everything that it's going to be marvelous and super romantic! 'Piyu Bole' from Parineeta is the best proof for that!
Can we all stop whatever we are doing and thank Shafqat Amanat Ali and Shankar Mahadevan for this song? Melodious to the core!
Can we ever stop singing 'Tum Se Hi' from 'Jab We Met'? NO! Why? Because it's difficult, no, impossible to get over this melodious track!
Even after eight years, we aren't over Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na's wonderful track 'Kahin To Hogi Woh'! And we don't think anyone else can either!
Remember your true love? Remember 'Pehli Baar Mohabbat' from Kaminey? Doesn't the song fit the feeling so perfectly? Definitely on our list of top ten romantic songs!
We aren't big fans of this movie, but we've got to thank the creators for this song! Bahara from 'I Hate Luv Storys' perfectly sums up the feeling of falling in love!
Better than the best! Rockstar was an extraordinary movie with more-than-brilliant music! Want to do something special for your beloved? This song will make the perfect background track!
Featuring the king of romance (and Bollywood!), here's another melodious track we can't get enough of! So beautiful!
Woah, woah, WOAH! 'Ang Lage De' raised not only temperatures, but also too many romantic feelings within us! Love this one? Us too!
If love could be described in a song, it would be 'Samjhawan'! Although we love Arijit Singh and Shreya Goshal's version, we can't help but feel biased towards the one by Alia Bhatt!
Admit it, you hum this song to yourself even now! This Tamasha song became everyone's favourite in no time and still remains one!


@TimO I finally got around to testing my pureWhite RGBW code and at least for me its working like it should be. I saw you already merged this so I guess others can use it too very soon.
What is still not working is the acknowledgment feature. I have one node that only gets about 90% of the messages without error, so I tried activating it there and on some other nodes too for testing. Result: success rate is down to ~50% for each node and I get messages about some acknowledgment on the console when no message has even been sent (nothing about a message from mysensors on the console and no rx/tx leds on the gateway). When I tested this some months ago I also saw no message at the client so I am pretty sure none gets send.
So I guess this issue is still unresolved I have no clue why on a first glance but if I can help just send me a message.

We asked you to help us choose four of the most iconic 4WDs from the last four decades as part of our Off Road Icons project. We couldn't be more pleased to announce the first Off Road Icons vehicle – the Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Series.
The Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Series was Toyota's best selling vehicle in the 60's and maintained a healthy 24-year lifespan on the market. More than one million were sold around the world with 121,000 sold in Australia. The reason for its popularity was clear; it was the first four wheel drive designed with the everyday family in mind. Its durability stands the test of time with many seen on the roads today. In a testament to its popularity, in 2006 Toyota developed the FJ Cruiser, a modern interpretation of its old counterpart.
The Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Series, Australia's first standard family wagon, known for its versatility and reliability, it's no wonder it was voted in as one of Australia's most iconic 4WDs.
Key Stats:
24 years in production, from 1960 – 1984
The most versatile vehicle of its era
One million sold around the world (121,000 in Australia)
Short (FJ40), middle (FJ43) and long (FJ45) wheelbase variants
Used by farmers, rural drivers and everyday families

Chapter 18 THE TRAGIC ADVENTURE OF THE FRECKLED SCOUT
Tom Slade on the River By Percy K. Fitzhugh Characters: 21471
The salesman was busy waiting on two boys, both scouts, one of whom was evidently buying a new outfit. Tom expressed surprise at this, since the uniform which he was wearing seemed almost new.
"I suppose the new one is for Sundays," said Artie.
"We should worry," said Roy.
The boy who was doing the purchasing was of a trim physique, with very red hair and he had as many freckles upon his cheerful countenance as there are stars in the quiet sky. There was much joking, which the Bridgeboro boys could not hear, between these boys and the salesman, and while waiting for the purchase to be wrapped the three formed a little laughing group.
The freckled boy, in particular, interested the waiting scouts who were attracted by his trim figure, his jaunty manner and the shiny redness of his rather curly hair.
"Well, I wish you luck," said the salesman as they left him; "it's some stunt!"
As the two passed the bench where the Bridgeboro boys were sitting, the red-headed boy turned and gave them the scout salute with a merry smile.
"They live around here?" Artie asked.
"No," said the salesman, inspecting Tom's scout certificate to be sure that he was entitled to buy the official suit. "They're down from their camp up Lake Champlain. Quite a pair, aren't they?"
Artie felt that he would like to ask more about them, for he was sure they had been telling "their adventures," as Pee-wee would have said, to the salesman. But scouts are not officious, and these particular scouts believed somewhat in Roy's advice for winning the business badge; viz., Mind your own business.
The salesman, however, did vouchsafe them one little morsel of information while he was fitting Tom.
"They've got a great scheme on foot, those kids," said he.
"I think I know what it is," said Tom. "They're going to give a scout suit to a new fellow for a surprise."
"Sherlock Nobody Holmes again," jeered Roy.
The man only laughed. "You scout fellows don't seem to know what fear is, do you?" he added, pleasantly.
"We wouldn't know it if we met it in the street," said Roy, not, however, understanding the significance of the remark. "Tomasso's the courageousest-look out he don't bite you! We've been feeding him meat today."
Tom loosened up and decided he would get a sweater, too, and the joint deliberation over a suitable color put an end to their immediate thought of the stranger scouts.
"A kind of a blackish white would be good," said Roy.
Artie suggested a pale lavender. The salesman was greatly amused at their talk, but Tom was somewhat nettled and embarrassed, and he was glad when the completion of the business put an end to their nonsense.
On the way back to the boats and afterwards they speculated somewhat about the two scouts. There was no particular reason for their doing so except that the red-headed boy lingered in their minds with his trim appearance and his vivacious manner. Later, they recalled his jaunty, careless air, his friendly salute and his winning smile, almost with a shudder.
"We saw the kind of scout that Raymond believes in," taunted Roy, upon their return to the boats. "He had on the full uniform, belt-axe, whistle, bugle, gaiters, hat--"
"That's right," said Mr. Ellsworth, winking at Raymond. "That's what they're for-to be worn."
"There was only one thing wrong with him," Roy concluded.
"What?" demanded Raymond, quite boldly for him.
"He was made of wood," said Roy.
"Well, then, let him serve as a terrible example," laughed the scoutmaster. "I dare say there are a few others like him."
"Did he have any invisible badges on?" Doc asked slyly.
"Doesn't Tomasso look too sweet for anything?" teased Roy.
"Cut it out," grumbled Tom. "It's time to get supper."
They stayed at their mooring that night and lolled about on the cabin roof of the Honor Scout while Harry Stanton strummed his ukulele and those who knew the soft music of the far-off Pacific isles hummed the airs which seem nowhere so melodious as on the water. A group of small boys from the unkempt waterside section caught the strains and shuffled down, grimy and ragged, to sprawl upon the piles of lumber on the wharf, staring with wide open eyes, and listening. To them it was like a circus come to town. To the scouts it was a new kind of camp fire.
In the morning they were gone, doubtless leaving a refreshing memory with the youthful denizens of that squalid neighborhood.
The Hudson above Troy is no longer of majestic beauty and the voyagers were not sorry for the novelty which presented when they entered the canal. At least, they did not have to "squint" for hidden perils, though the locks played sorry havoc with the beautiful enameled freeboard of the Honor Scout.
"Cruising in a canal is about as exciting as a hike on Broadway," commented Roy.
"You said something," agreed Connie.
It was not long, indeed, before the novelty began to wear off, and they were one and all glad when the boats emerged into the broad expanse of Lake Champlain.
"Lake Champlain," said Roy, contemplating it in his favorite attitude, sitting on the cabin roof with his hands clasped about his updrawn knees; "Lake Champlain rises early in the morning, takes a northerly course, and flows into the sink. Correct, be seated, Master Blakeley."
They could accelerate their speed now and the Good Turn had her work cut out for her keeping up, even with the Honor Scout's motor throttled down to half-speed.
"This is historic territory," said Mr. Ellsworth. "Almost every rock has its tale to tell of the bloody French and Indian War--"
"I hope they won't tell them," said Roy. "School's closed."
But for all that he was interested as "our beloved scoutmaster" recalled some of the stirring events which occurred along the rugged, historic shores between which they were passing. They paused to see the ruins of the old Revolutionary fort at Crown Point, and the restored fort at Ticonderoga, with its underground passage to the shore.
The first night of their cruise through the lake they tied up at Port Henry and early in the morning sallied forth into the town for oil, gasoline and supplies, replenishing their depleted stock sufficiently for the fifty mile run up to Plattsburg.
"Believe me, this is some hike," said Roy.
"I dare say it looks about the same," mused Mr. Ellsworth, glancing about at the wild shore, "as it did when Champlain sailed through it with his Indian guides--"
"That was sumpty-sump years ago," said Artie Van Arlen, "you have him in the third grade."
"Maybe he stopped at Port Henry for gasoline," suggested Roy.
"I hope he didn't have to pay twenty-three cents for it," said Connie.
For about fifteen miles above Port Henry the lake is comparatively narrow, then it opens up to a breadth of ten miles or more, becoming a veritable inland-sea, with the rolling hills of Vermont reaching far eastward and merging in the distance with the lofty Green Mountains.
About ten miles above Port Henry, and at the narrowest part of the lake's narrow stretch, there rises upon the New York side an extent of precipitous and rugged height known as the Split Rock Mountain. On the landward side the slope from the mountain is easy enough, but toward the lake this irregular eminence presents a steep surface interspersed with woody patches and gray rock. Nestling under this forbidding height is a narrow area of marshy woodland between it and the shore.
It is related that in the olden days a Mohawk warrior, being pursued and finding himself upon this dizzy summit without an arrow to his bow, tried to scramble down and losing his foothold was precipitated against trees and over rocks and his mangled body became a prey to vultures in the wooded swamp below. There are guides about that historic water who can point you where his skeleton and tomahawk were found-if you are disposed to venture within that tangled morass.
As the little flotilla approached this spot, Tom who was steering the smaller boat noticed a green canoe drawn up at the wood's edge, and he called to Roy, sprawling on the cabin of the Honor Scout, to look.
"It's a canoe all right, ain't it?" he called.
"Sure it is," answered Roy.
"It's the same color as the woods, that's why you can't see it plainer," said Will Bronson, looking through the field glass.
Scarcely had he spoken when two scouts emerged at the shore and busied themselves at the canoe for a moment or two.
"Why, that's the red-headed fellow we saw in Albany!" said Artie, who had taken the glass. "I can see him plain."
"Sure it is," added Roy. "You can recognize him without the glass."
The scouts on the larger boat passed the glass from one to another, though most of them could distinguish the boy without it.
"His hair is as red as a brick, isn't it?" said Mr. Ellsworth.
"That's him, all right," said Tom, ungrammatically, from the other boat.
They were almost abreast of the spot when the two boys disappeared in the woods. Roy had meant to hail them and perhaps would still have done so but for the fact that the freckled scout presently reappeared alone climbing up the precipitous slope.
"You don't suppose he's going to try to climb that, do you?" Mr. Ellsworth queried as he watched.
"Looks that way," said Connie.
"Wonder where the other fellow is."
The other scout did not appear, and they watched the agile form as it scrambled up the almost sheer face of the mountain. The sunlight was falling upon the dull face of rock and touching the sparse vegetation with its bright glow, and they recognized the boy clearly now, even to his red hair which shone when it caught the rays of the sun.
"Well-that's-some stunt!" exclaimed Garry, in amazement. "Do you suppose their camp is up there?"
"They ought to call themselves the Eagles, if it is," said Roy.
"Watch him," called Tom from the other boat.
The eyes of the whole troop were upon the nimble figure as it worked its way upward, now scrambling, now climbing among trees, now going zigzag over a precipitous area.
THE EYES OF THE WHOLE TROOP WERE UPON THE NIMBLE FIGURE AS IT WORKED ITS WAY UPWARD.
"Some monkey, hey?" called Garry, to the boys in the smaller boat, where Harry Stanton watched, fascinated.
"Some scout, all right," one of the O'Connor boys called back.
"That's a most amazing feat," said the scoutmaster, watching with the glass.
Soon the agile form, verging to right or left to follow a path of less resistance and sometimes pausing to use his brains as a scout should, had reached a little clump of freakish trees, growing out of rock, and for a few moments he was hidden from the distan

t watchers.
They had shut off the power of both boats and lay drifting. A scout is brother to every other scout, and I dare say the whole party took a pride in the scout who dared attempt so hazardous an undertaking.
"I could see it in his face," Tom said.
"Sherlock Nobody Holmes again," called Roy from the other boat.
Presently, the scrambling figure emerged upon the bare surface above, wriggling and bracing itself on what seemed to be mere points of rock. A few yards more and he would be safe upon the wooded summit.
"Don't shout!" said Mr. Ellsworth, anticipating an impulse on Roy's part. "You might rattle him. Wait till he's out of danger."
Now he had reached the edge of the woods which covered the summit and extended somewhat down the precipitous side, and as he disappeared among the trees the scouts on the lake sent up a lusty cheer.
Scarcely had the echo of their shout died away when Roy jumped to his feet.
"Look!" he cried.
Following his pointing finger, the whole troop stood aghast in utter horror as they saw the limp and sprawling figure of the freckled scout go tumbling headlong over tree and rock down the rugged precipice. Harry Stanton gasped and almost fainted away. Pee-wee grasped the rail, white as a sheet.
The figure fell against a crooked tree, the limp arms of the apparently dead or unconscious boy making no effort to grasp it, then tumbled headlong from the ledge and fell with a sickening impact upon the jagged rocks below. There it paused for a second, then fell again like a dead weight, over sheer walls of rock. Once again it paused against some obstacle and Mr. Ellsworth, watching with the glass, could see the neck hanging limp, the head far back in a ghastly, unnatural attitude. The boy was evidently quite dead. Again the body fell, the loose arms and limbs sprawling this way and that until it was precipitated over the edge of the lowest rocky wall and the dreadful sight was ended by its disappearance into the swampy woods below.
"He must have lost his foothold," whispered Connie.
"It's-it's terrible," breathed little Raymond, almost in a panic.
"Get the oars," said Mr. Ellsworth, quietly. "We'll row ashore. Cast the anchor," he called. "We may be able to get the body. That's about all we can do, I'm afraid. He probably lost his life with the first impact. He was dead long before he reached the bottom."
There was not a scout among them but was sobered by the dreadful thing; Harry Stanton had lost his nerve entirely; and it was a solemn little group that scrambled into the Honor Scout's skiff and rowed for shore. Garry Everson, who was a better swimmer than any member of the Bridgeboro troop, had already thrown off his outer clothing and was well toward shore. Others, for whom there was not room in the skiff, followed swimming, until only Harry Stanton, Raymond, and Westy Martin whom Mr. Ellsworth had asked to remain with them, were left on the smaller boat.
"It's worse than that hill near camp," Garry called to the boys in the approaching boat. "It's a regular everglades."
They found the place a veritable maze of tangled swamp, with a spongy, uncertain foothold. In toward the hill the land was firmer but at close range and without an open view it was impossible to determine where the body had fallen.
"Can you point out about where it was?" called Roy, from the shore.
Westy pointed as best he could and the shore party, spreading, began a systematic search of the spot.
"Is this the place?" said Doc who, as a matter of general precaution, had his first-aid case slung over his shoulder. He was standing on the brink of a black pool, which they thought to be right under the spot where the body had fallen.
"Wait till I see how deep it is," said Garry, wading in. He was soon beyond his depth and swimming. "If he fell in there we'll never get him," he said, emerging with black slime dripping from him.
"Maybe he caught in the branches of some of those trees," suggested Connie.
It was the signal for several scouts to scramble up among the knotty branches of the trees in toward the precipice, but without result.
They scoured the whole treacherous ground for fifty yards or more in every direction, but no sign of the unfortunate boy's body could they discover. They lashed together the two oars from the boat, making a length of perhaps twenty feet, and probed the pool but found nothing.
"I'm going to dive into that," said Garry.
"I don't think you'd better, my boy," said Mr. Ellsworth.
But Garry had already dived and came up dripping with mud and slime.
"I couldn't get to the bottom," said he; "there isn't any bottom."
Tom Slade who, as usual, had pursued his own way, called to the others, "There's a kind of a trail here-a pearl necklace,[2] I should think. It runs through this swamp and up around the side there. See?"
Roy and Mr. Ellsworth, who had come close to him, saw what he meant, though it is doubtful if even those good scouts would have recognized it as a trail.
"See?" said Tom, "you can get to the top without that climb. This runs up around where it isn't so steep."
Sure enough, there was a sort of zigzag trail, becoming plainer as it wound its way up, by which one might ascend by a longer though safer route. It followed a deep cleft in the rocks and led, as they surmised, to the easier slope on the landward side of the mountain.
"Why didn't he take that path, do you suppose?" said the scoutmaster.
"Because he was a dare-devil," said Roy.
Mr. Ellsworth stood silently as Tom and Roy started up the trail. It led them, as they had supposed it would, to a broader path by which the hill could be surmounted. Here were indistinct footprints at intervals. Why they were not regular Tom could not imagine.
"Why didn't the fellow go this way, I wonder?" Roy said.
"You answered that yourself," Tom answered.
They were now upon the summit and could look down and see the two boats side by side in the lake. It was a dizzy height. Behind them was a broad, flat plateau which became a gentle slope and fell away into the lower country beyond. The path crossed this and here the footprints were plainer and more regular. Then they verged from the path and were difficult to follow amid the sparse vegetation of the plateau.
A few yards and they ended abruptly at a point where there was a little disturbance of the earth and what Tom and Roy thought to be the imprints, very faint, of rubber tires.
"There must have been an auto here," said Roy.
"It must have been one of those motor-cycle affairs with a kind of a baby carriage alongside it," said Tom. "Those prints are too close together for a regular auto."
"How could an auto or a motor-cycle get up here, anyway?" queried Roy.
From the spot where they happened to be, they could just manage to trace a second line of footprints coming from another direction.
Roy was very much sobered by this whole affair, but he could not refrain from his usual comment, "The plot grows thinner."
"Come on, let's follow those," said Tom.
They did so until the prints ended abruptly upon the flat, rocky surface near the edge of the precipice.
"I don't know what to make of the whole business," said Roy. "Blamed if I do! It's a puzzle."
"My idea," said Tom, as they started down again, "is this; the other fellow was down there below somewhere and was going to follow that fellow, when all of a sudden he fell. They must have chosen that way just for a stunt, I suppose. Didn't you ever hear that red-headed fellows are reckless? It might possibly be," he added, hesitatingly, "that the other fellow managed to get his-his body and drag it around up this way. That might account for the way that path looked back there; if someone had been dragged along it might sort of wipe out the footprints. I don't see how he could have got so far ahead of us, though," he added.
"But where could he have taken the-body?"
"I don't know-unless he managed to carry it to that automobile or whatever it was back there. Maybe they'd left some kind of a car there to go out on the lake."
"But all that wouldn't account for those other footprints we saw out toward the edge," said Roy, skeptically.
"No," said Tom, "unless the other fellow went out there and tried to find out, maybe, how the dead fellow had happened to fall. Maybe a tree that he had hold of broke-or something."
"Then there ought to be footprints back," said Roy.
"Sure-there were."
"I didn't see any."
"That isn't saying they weren't there," said Tom.
"Tomasso, you're a wonder."
"Only how did they ever get an automobile, or a motor baby carriage or whatever you call it, up to that place?"
"That's what's got me," said Roy.
They found their companions still searching, but almost discouraged, and Mr. Ellsworth listened with keen interest to Roy's report.
"Hmmm," said he, soberly; "you say you saw wheel imprints? Were there no wheel tracks?"
"No," said Tom, "but the land was grassy in places and it was pretty hard."
"Hmmm?" was all that Mr. Ellsworth could say. "I think the most likely view is that the body is at the bottom of that bottomless pool," he added. "I don't see that we can do anything else, boys. It goes against me to go on without finding the poor fellow's body, but-"
Scouts do not give up easily and they did not leave the spot until it was too dark to see. Then they went back to the boats, a muddy, dishevelled, scratched and discouraged band. They did not take kindly to defeat.
"The nearest town," said Mr. Ellsworth, looking at their map, "is Boquet. Farther up, on the Vermont side, is Burlington. I suggest that we stop at both those places and notify the scouts and the authorities. With a grappling iron they could probably get the body."
Tom listened with stolid indifference to this apparent repudiation of his own theory. Probably he did not think the matter worth discussing for in either case the freckled scout was dead.
There was no music on the cabin roof of the Good Turn that night and the Silver Foxes and Ravens who lolled about on the Honor Scout did not call for it, as they usually did. Mr. Ellsworth stood quietly at the wheel; the others sat or lay about, sober and silent.
"Why so quiet, Roy?" Garry asked.
"I don't know," said Roy, who squatted in his characteristic position. "I can't seem to get that fellow out of my head-and-and the way he saluted us back there in Albany. Gee, I can almost hear him laughing now."
"Guess that's Burlington where the lights are," said Mr. Ellsworth. "Throttle her down to half, Roy, and throw your lead to see how much water we've got."

Your healthcare provider has ordered a Lower Extremity Arterial examination. Peripheral Arterial disease (PAD) refers to narrowing of the blood vessels, which obstructs blood flow to the legs, usually due to atherosclerosis (fatty plaque in walls of blood vessels) or other diseases.
Non-invasive studies done on a patient in a resting state provide information about the vascular system in a "non-stressed" condition. Many patients with PAD, however, experience symptoms after some sort of exercise. The rationale for exercising patients in the vascular laboratory is to replicate the symptoms the patient experiences outside of the lab and to document the effects. In this particular study the patient walks on a treadmill for 5 minutes and then is asked to lie back on the stretcher where blood pressure cuffs are placed on the ankle. This is to measure the amount of blood flow post-exercise and the recovery time needed.
The technologist performing the exam is specially trained to evaluate the lower extremity arteries for abnormalities, and will create Doppler waveforms and pressure measurements of the vessels in the legs.
These exams will take 30-45 minutes to complete. You will be able to leave as soon as the test is completed. The technologist is not permitted to discuss the results with you.

Q: Building a clip area in a UIView from path objects in its subviews I'm trying to produce a clipping area in a UIView that's generated from path objects in its subviews. For example, I might have one subview containing a square and another containing a circle. I want to be able to produce a clip in the parent superview that's the union of both these shapes. Can someone explain how to do this? About all I've been able to figure out so far is that:
1 - the superview's drawRect: method is called before its subviews' drawRects are, and
2 - the ContextRef that's accessible in all three instances is the same.
Other than that I'm stumped.
Thanks,
Howard

A: In a nutshell, you have to iterate through all the subviews and let each one modify the current context path, then set that path as the clipping path.  You could ask for a path from each view or pass the context to each view.
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextSaveGState( context );
CGContextBeginPath( context );

for ( view in subviews ) {
  if ( [view respondsToSelector:@selector(pathTranslatedForView:)] ) {
    CGContextAddPath( context , [(MyCustomViewPath *)view pathTranslatedForView:self] );
  }
}

CGContextClip( context );
// do stuff with clipping path
CGContextRestoreGState( context );

Edit:
When calling the subview, you may want to adjust the context so that 0,0 is the origin of the called view, not the superview:
CGRect frame = [view frame];
CGContextTranslateCTM( context , -frame.origin.x , -frame.origin.y );
CGContextAddPath( context , [(MyCustomViewPath *)view path];
CGContextTranslateCTM( context , frame.origin.x , frame.origin.y );

A: Maybe try to set the background Color To  .clear:  the UIView - Rectangle will disappear Leasing just the path shape

Milwaukee produce distributor V. Marchese expanding its Walker's Point building

A company in Milwaukee's Walker's Point neighborhood that distributes produce and dairy products to restaurants and other customers is planning to expand, adding 50 to 75 jobs.
V. Marchese Produce Inc., located in the Florida Yards Industrial Park, wants to build an addition to its 80,000-square-foot processing and distribution center.
The business is at 600 S. Jake Marchese Way, just north of East National Avenue and about one block west of South Water Street.
A company affiliate bought a neighboring former horse stable, at 328 E. National Ave., in 2016 from Milwaukee Coach & Carriage LLC for $425,000, according to state real estate records.
That building is to be demolished.
V. Marchese then plans to expand west to its parking lot and that former stable site, said Josh Weber, chief financial officer.
But that work cannot occur until an inactive railroad track between the V. Marchese building and the former stable property is removed, he said.
The company is working with Union Pacific Corp. to make that happen, Weber said, and is eager to begin the project.
"We're doing really well right now," he said at Thursday's Redevelopment Authority board meeting. "We're just bursting at the seams."
The company has 276 employees, Weber said.
V. Marchese also is buying a Florida Yards parcel from the Redevelopment Authority. The company would pay $1 for the cone-shaped lot south of East National Avenue.
It plans to spend $700,000 to $800,000 to create a parking lot, according to the Department of City Development.
The project would include a pedestrian bridge spanning East National Avenue that would connect the parking lot to V. Marchese's expanded building, a department report said.
Florida Yards is within the Harbor District, a new redevelopment area bordered roughly by South 1st Street, the lakefront, the Milwaukee River and Bay Street/Becher Street.
The district's water and land use plan, approved in February, envisions adding housing, offices and other new uses while still accommodating light industrial businesses such as V. Marchese.

As for the "super products" offered through MLM companies, you get all sorts and varieties and it's a very competitive niche! As a distributor, that's one of the hurdles to consider about Enersource International business opportunity.
We are not going into depth about EnerSource International products as products offered by any multi-level marketing company will always appeal to some but not to others.
To become an Enersource distributor you can choose between two paths.
One path is that you pay $49 to participate and for this lower membership you don't earn from all that the compensation plan offers.
The other path is that you pay $249 to participate in the full compensation plan.
Pay to play as it were.
Another condition is that you have to generate 100 Personal volume every month in order to earn commissions. For this there is an auto-ship opt in!!! That means in actual fact you get products automatically shipped to you and you get automatically billed. This is as good as arm twisting!
Why would anyone want to put them-self in this position?

What Are Affiliate Marketing Benefits That Make It Better Than EnerSource International MLM Opportunity?
The Flagship Of Affiliate Marketing versus Your EnerSource International Downlines – DON'T MISS THIS PART.
Similar to prospecting for distributors in EnerSource International MLM, in affiliate marketing you do the same talking but instead of talking you write it down – in exactly the same words you use when you talk. So you are not doing anything different. Nothing complex, you just write like you are talking to someone and then post it online.
You say it once and it goes out there and sells for you forever!
Having a website for your MLM business is different because the products are usually expensive and so you have to be like a door-to-door salesman to justify and explain how the product works and of course to convince or push people to join your down line.
Your Written Distributor/Article is fully employed for free – yes what you write online is there to sell for you forever and for free!
SMART PASSIVE INCOME THIS IS! – Nothing beats this – NOTHING, not even EnerSource International! Why would you want to pass up such an opportunity?
Do you want to lose money over a business opportunity that will NEVER make you rich?
Do you want the real business model that gives you a real business to work from home with no boss and no inventory, get proper guidance, no upline and no need to push anyone and instead, those interested find you.
Invest your time in affiliate marketing rather than EnerSource International and you will never look back.
The MLM industry is on it's last leg – most people don't like it anymore because they realize it's an illusion!
If you have stuck to EnerSource International and recruiting without much success, affiliate marketing's easier way to do business will be like a walk in the park.

Gerjets said KSP Advisor Randy Langel has also been an influence during her time at Kirkwood. "He creates a positive environment to work in," she said.
One of her other influences is Director Wes Anderson. "The amount of effort he puts in the his background of each frame is like a piece of art and is inspiring how much effort he puts in for a shot," she said.

When Authenticity is Your Brand's ….Brand
BY Iulia-Cristina Uță
Bringing inspiration to #worldchangers through storytelling
Apr 165 min read
Is your brand authentic? Is it true to its values and does it express them truthfully?
Read on to discover three brands whose names are synonymous with authenticity.
In today's consumer-driven environment, brands that are authentic and true to their values earn their customers' trust and increase their business. According to various reports, a great majority of customers around the world expects brands to be honest and authentic.
Let's see how three brands express authenticity when talking to their customers!
1. Aviation Gin / The Process
In February 2018, Ryan Reynolds, the Hollywood star famously known for his Deadpool movies acquired Aviation Gin, an American boutique gin distillery. While he stated he won't be involved in the gin-making process, he assured his shareholders and the customers that he will have a say in the marketing, sales and distribution processes. I can't express any opinions regarding sales and distribution, but I must say it would have been a surprise if he didn't get involved in the marketing and advertising of his new spirited company. After all, he knows a thing or two about creating buzz and earning brand awareness – Deadpool campaigns are lessons in advertising virality that every advertising professional should study.
If you follow Ryan Reynolds on social media, you are already familiar with his dry sense of humour. His Deadpool character is an extension of Ryan's personality: the same tongue-in-cheek witty but kind humour.
Aviation Gin is no exception: the brand's communication style is all Ryan. He stays true to himself and this translates into brand authenticity.
In this ad, Ryan takes a less traditional approach to the standard How it's done video essentially poking fun at other spirits producers.
The ad is nominated for the People's Voice 2019 Webby Awards in the Video Ad Longform category. You can vote for it here.
2. The Dollar Shave Club.com / Our Blades Are F***ing Great
Dollar Shave Club is an American company that delivers razors and other personal grooming products to customers by mail on a monthly basis. The company was founded in 2011 by Mark Levine and Michael Dubin after expressing their frustrations with the cost of razor blades.
In 2012 the company uploaded on its YouTube channel a video entitled Our Blades Are F***ing Great featuring CEO Michael Dubin. In this video, Michael talks about his company's service in a nonchalant and sarcastic manner. No expensive interiors, no dreamy locations, nothing fancy just himself talking in his warehouse.
The video is straight to the point and highly authentic; it prompted 12,000 orders in a two-day span after it was released, and has received over 26 million views to date.
The video won "Best Out-of-Nowhere Video Campaign" at the 2012 AdAge Viral Video Awards and the 2013 People's Choice Webby Award in the Fashion & Beauty category.
3. Patagonia – Artifishal / The fight to save wild salmon
Patagonia is an American clothing company that markets and sells outdoor clothing. The company was founded in 1976 by Yvon Chouinard, an accomplished rock climber.
Patagonia is an activist company which commits 1% of its annual net revenue to nonprofit charity organizations focused on conservation and sustainability. But the company does more than support these organizations financially.
Over the years Patagonia has built a strong community of activists and acted upon its mission: to save our home planet.
Here is the company's campaign to fight for the future of wild salmon and the environment that supports this fish.

NEW - Elvis Book "Elvis Music FAQ" by Mike Eder
The book is by Author Mike Eder, who has written some excellent articles for such as JAT and Elvis Files books, will have his first book out later this year "Elvis Music FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the King's Recorded Works."
Elvis Music FAQ is for anyone who has been inspired by an Elvis Presley record. Following in the tradition of the FAQ series, in Elvis Music FAQ , a lot of rare information is woven together in one concise, entertaining package. There are chapters about every year of Elvis's career, including a look at his pioneering original record label Sun; insight on his management; the continued importance of television in his career; a summation of each Presley concert tour; the inside scoop about the role Elvis's band members and songwriters played in his sound; stories about the amusing musical oddities created by those trying to ride on the Elvis success train; details about the contentious role drugs played in his career; and, finally, a full review of every record the King ever issued.
One might say that the only truths about Elvis Presley can be found in the grooves of his records, where his natural talent and passion for music comes through always.
Elvis Music FAQ aims to be the one essential companion that explains the reason why the voice heard over the speakers still carries such resonance. Dozens of rare images accompany this engaging text.
Paperback, 400 pages. Backbeat Books - Out October 15, 2013.
