Lamar University releases updated football schedule after move back to Southland Conference
Published 12:22 am Thursday, July 14, 2022
By Orange Leader
BEAUMONT — With Lamar University's expedited move to the Southland Conference, the league has released the updated football schedule for the 2022 season, a slate highlighted by 11 games and five home contests.
In addition to playing a Southland schedule in 2022, the league also worked with LU allowing the Cardinals to play all their originally scheduled non-conference opponents (SMU, Northern Colorado, Prairie View A&M and New Mexico State). The season-opener against Abilene Christian remains intact as well and will now be a non-conference contest for the Cardinals.
Big Red will open with three of their first four games on the road but will have a season-long three-game homestand following their open week in the back half of the schedule.
The Cardinals will kick off the season with away contests at ACU (Thursday, Sept. 1) and SMU (Sept. 10) before returning to the Golden Triangle for the season home opener against Northern Colorado, Saturday, Sept. 17th.
The Cardinals kick off their return to Southland Conference play the following week with a contest at Northwestern State (Sept. 24th). The conference home opener will be Saturday, Oct. 1 when LU hosts Houston Baptist. The game against the Huskies will also serve as Homecoming.
Big Red will travel to San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 8, to take on the league's other Cardinals, which will serve as the team's final game before the open week. When LU returns from its bye week, they will kick off a three-game homestand that will take them into November. The homestand will begin Saturday, Oct. 22 against Prairie View A&M, and will also include Nicholls (Oct. 29) and Southeastern Louisiana (Nov. 5).
Big Red closes out the 2022 regular season with consecutive road games. The Cardinals will be in Las Cruces, N.M., Saturday, Nov. 12th to take on NMSU in their final non-conference game of the season. Big Red ends the regular season by renewing the annual Battle of the Border against McNeese. The game against the Cowboys will take place Saturday, Nov. 19, in Lake Charles, La.

Soaring yields push tech shares lower
Europe struggles to respond to the virus crisis
Another volatile week went down rattled by a surge in bond yields in the US and rising coronavirus cases and vaccination hurdles in Europe. The main event, the Federal Reserve press conference, renewed investors fears that the Fed will allow the economy to run hot before leaning against it. Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve Chairman reiterated the central bank will continue its bond purchase program at the rate of $120bn per month until "substantial further progress" is realized. In addition, the Federal Reserve decided to leave the interest rate unchanged and to maintain the ultra-loose monetary policy so that the US economy could go through a quicker recovery.
The stock market experienced renewed jitters this week as investors rotated their exposure to value stocks, causing the high-growth tech sector to drop. On Thursday, the Nasdaq Composite slipped over 3%. The same day the S&P500 dropped roughly 1.5%, just a day after it notched a fresh record close at 3,974.12.
Covid-19 speeds up in the US, slows down in the EU
In Europe, member states continue to be at odds over whether to give the AstraZeneca vaccine to the population. On Thursday, the EU's top health regulator, the European Medicines Agency, published a report where it said the benefits of the vaccine outweighed the risks. The agency ruled out the vaccine is "safe and effective", despite recent concerns over its potential adverse health effects. The investigation by the agency concluded that the rare cases of blood clotting could not be linked to the vaccine, although "it is possible and deserves further analysis". A number of countries have said they will restart their AstraZeneca vaccination program, among them Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain.
Meanwhile in Washington, President Joe Biden celebrated the milestone of 100 million Covid-19 vaccine doses administered in the first 100 days of his Presidency. "I'm proud to announce that tomorrow, 58 days into our administration, we will have met my goal," said Joe Biden in a brief speech on Thursday. The White House said the US plans to send a total of 4 million doses of the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine to Canada and Mexico. The vaccine produced by AstraZeneca, a British-Swedish company, in partnership with Oxford University is not yet authorized for use in the US.
On the cryptocurrency front, bitcoin alleviated some of the pressure as the week progressed. The start of the week turned out to be a difficult time for the number one digital asset as it dropped to a weekly low of $53,200. Bitcoin spent the next few days trying to recreate another run towards the $60,000 mark. For the most part of the week, bitcoin hovered between $55,000 and $60,000.

Big thanks to Bob Condotta for posting<a href="" this story and this blog post on today's three-way trade that brought Mike Morse back to Seattle and sent John Jaso to Oakland.
I was a victim of really bad timing — right when the trade was was announced, I had just begun a long doctor's appointment (nothing serious), and there was simply no way out. Compounding matters, there was no internet reception in the office, so I couldn't even tweet anything. Then I had to battle Bellevue rush-hour traffic, which I'd rate about as bad as any big city in America. So here I am, very late to the party.
What do you think of the Mariners' trade to get Mike Morse?
Well, it's not happening. Jaso is moving on to his third team in three years. I know a lot of people don't seem to like the deal, Dave Cameron most vehemently and eloquently.
I don't have a huge problem with the trade, for a couple of reasons. One, while this leaves the Mariners in a temporary bind behind the plate — I'd guess Jesus Montero will be the regular, with a stop-gap backup brought in to start this season — we've known all along that Mike Zunino is on the fast track. I believe this just hastens his arrival in Seattle. Unless he completely tanks in Tacoma (where I'd expect he'll start the season), Zunino should be up by mid-June, when the Super Two arbitration issues are past. Or perhaps sooner. And by all signs, Zunino will turn that position into a huge positive — maybe not instantly, but he sure seems to be an first-rate catcher in the making.
So at the point Zunino arrives, Montero presumably slides more into the DH mix, and maybe eventually even the first-base mix, which is obviously getting a little crowded. I honestly don't know where all this leaves Justin Smoak — perhaps trade bait, or perhaps down in the minors with his last remaining option. Or maybe a bench player and spot starter. And Mike Carp simply doesn't seem to have any role at all anymore with the Mariners. You'll have a mix of Smoak, Morse, Kendrys Morales, Raul Ibanez and Montero to hold down those spots, with Morse and Ibanez obviously candidates to play corner outfield as well. Jaso was a very nice bat against right-handed pitching– at least he was last year, and in 2010. In 2011, Jaso hit .224/.298/.354, and the Rays, one of the most astute sabermetric teams in the major leagues, saw fit to trade him to Seattle for an erratic reliever with a sordid past, Josh Lueke.
I'm not here, however, to demean Jaso, whom I liked personally and as a ballplayer. But I do believe that the Mariners had a huge need for power, particularly right-handed power, and as we've already discussed previously, weren't able to fill it through free agency or through the aborted Justin Upton trade. So maybe they had to do something a little distasteful to get someone like Morse, who if he stays healthy — no guarantee, because he's had his share of injury problems, dating back to a broken collarbone with Seattle in 2007 — gives them a guy who, for all his defensive faults, can flat-out slug. The world learned that when the Mariners gave him up in an unfortunate 2009 trade with Washington for Ryan Langerhans. In three-plus seasons with the Nationals, Morse had a .857 OPS, including a monster season in 2011 (.303/.360/.550, with 31 homers and 95 RBIs). Morse's career slugging percentage is .492, and he's been over .500 twice in years of substantial playing time. The Mariners haven't had anyone slug over .500 since Russ Branyan in 2009, their last winning season.
Morse is 30, a year and a half older than Jaso. He's a free agent after the season, while Jaso has three years of team control left before hitting free agency. Morse will make $6.75 million next year, Jaso is projected to make about $1.7 million via arbitration. Those are all points for Jaso. Like Morales, Morse could conceivably become trade bait if the season falls apart (and I don't think anyone sees this as a contending year for Seattle, with or without Jaso). If Morse produces, they can explore a one-year extension. Or they can give him a qualifying offer next winter and get a sandwich-round draft pick if he signs elsewhere.
Jaso had a 3.3 WAR last year via Baseball Reference, after putting up a 0.4 the year before. Morse was at 0.6 last year, when he was bothered for most of the year by a lat strain he says is completely healed. In 2011, when healthy for 146 games. Morse put up a 3.1 WAR despite negative defensive numbers. So I guess a lot of your evaluation of the trade depends on who you think is likeliest to regain their peak numbers, and whether you trust Eric Wedge to artfully find a way to deploy all the disparate pieces he has at his disposal, including possibly Jason Bay (who could be cut loose if he doesn't show quickly that last year's plunge was a fluke) and Casper Wells. It's a daunting challenge, and one that may very well reveal a poorly conceived roster.
Call me naive, or sabermetrically unsophisticated, but I like the idea of having two potential 30-homer guys in Morse and Morales (three if Montero blossoms) after all those years of suffering through a Mariners' lineup that inspired absolutely no fear whatsoever from opposing pitchers. I see a solid, professional hitter in Jaso, but one who won't play against lefties, and who may have had the season of his life last year. The less Mike Morse has to play outfield, the more I'll like the trade. This isn't a deal that puts the Mariners over the top or anything like that, but I don't hate it. And unlike Dave, I don't expect it to haunt them.

Killing Joke, Roundhouse
Respect, more than ever, is due to these doomsaying punk veterans
by Andrew PerryFriday, 09 March 2012
Jaz Coleman: still a reliably incandescent front manMarkus Thorsen
With the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the Nostradamus-predicted apocalypse both imminent (possibly), now is clearly an auspicious time for a doomsaying veteran punk combo such as Killing Joke to return to our midst.
Unlike most of their late-Seventies peers, Jaz Coleman's crew have always been around in some shape or form, hitting the pop charts in the mid–Eighties, and subsequently striking on numerous phases of cred, circa thrash metal, grunge, even trance (with the Pandemonium album in 1994, largely thanks to bassist Youth's sideline as a house-y producer).
In the early Noughties Dave Grohl drummed on an album and KJ toured with Motley Crüe – quite a pairing! – but it was after the original quartet, completed by mainstay guitarist Geordie Walker and drummer 'Big' Paul Ferguson, reconvened circa 2008 to perform their first two albums live that things started really hotting up. The ensuing two records – 2010's gnarly yet stadium-catchy Absolute Dissent, and the imminent, bone-crunchingly heavy MMXII – are amongst their best to date, right up there with those first two.
Given their unique underground resonance right across the anarcho-crusty-rave-industrial-metal-doom-postpunk spectrum, Killing Joke shows are always lively affairs, ceremonial invocations maître-d'ed by the clown-painted, palpitatingly furious Coleman.
Things only got darker and heavier, and it was tempting to conclude that Killing Joke had invented all music of a dark/heavy stripe
At a packed Roundhouse, the sense of subcultural deviance was established early on by Californian support act, The Icarus Line, whose unsung 2011 album, Wildlife, trowelled on the LA narcotic nihilism in the thickest (and funkiest) swathes since Iggy Pop and James Williamson's "Kill City". Stripped to the waist to reveal his scrawny sun-dodger's pallor, singer Joe Cardamone yowled and serially insulted the static front rows, while his ferally malnourished trio bashed out a comparably antagonistic row – a welcome break from the feelgood/hardsell stagecraft of most post-millennial rock.
Killing Joke, come the time, did all their damage with a sonic brutalism, which you felt as a physical force. Having dispensed a pretty much unbeatable "heritage" set four years ago, tonight's rang in the new at cripplingly high volume. Opener "European Super State", off Absolute Dissent, was an ear-splitting amalgam of Orwellian political imagining and pop anthemics, while "Fema Camp" and "Rapture", both from MMXII, each summoned a volcanic cacophony.
Ferguson and Youth, playing longer together lately than they did 'back in the day', locked into their battering rhythms with telepathic assurance, while Geordie, patrolling off to the left, calmly stroked out some of the biggest noises in the history of rock guitar, some savagly riffy, others grinding, moronic, lethal.
Up front, in a black boiler suit, Coleman was reliably incandescent. After an infernal "Unspeakable", with intercut screen images of torched infantrymen and the Twin Towers crumbling, he grabbed a fistful of his extravagant mane, and fretted, "We don't know if we're all gonna be here next year, we really don't." Then he grinned, semingly relishing the prospect, and added: "So let's celebrate!"
For MMXII's epic, varispeed "Pole Shift", the Tintin-quiffed keyboardist back to the right, found space to add further brutalizing texture – many in the last few years have claimed to be pioneering in the integration of synths into rock; this lot have been nailing it for 30+ years. Things only got darker and heavier, and it was tempting to conclude that Killing Joke had invented all music of a dark/heavy stripe, from Slayer and Sunn o))), to Nine Inch Nails and Slipknot. Then, on high-speed tunes like "Asteroid" and "Corporate Elect" –did they invent Motorhead too?
Finally, there came some classics – an expansive "The Wait", "Pssyche" with its funky up-and-down bass figure, and, to huge appreciation, "Requiem" and "Wardance". In the shadow of punk's first wave, these two inspirational numbers proved that there was still scope for upping the intensity, staring deeper into the abyss than The Sex Pistols and The Clash had been able to. Today, when the belief is rife that rock has reached the end of its narrative, that oldster groups are just out to cash in on their legend, that nothing can be shocking any more, this remarkable band truly challenge all those notions.
Ceremony apparently over, the house lights went up, and many stood around open-mouthed, awestruck. Killing Joke returned, though, and delivered one of their moody mid-Eighties hits, "Love Like Blood", as if, by that contrast, to reinforce just how hardcore their 2012 incarnation is. Respect, more than ever, is due.

The key to Killing Joke's
Permalink Submitted by tache3 (not verified) on Fri, 09/03/2012 - 19:54
The key to Killing Joke's power is not Coleman's apocalypic howling, or whatever funky undercurrents the rhythm section can drag up but Geordie Walker. There have probably been millions of guitar players since the invention of the electric guitar, most of whom seem to be content with aping each other's achievements, so the ability to develop a style that is uniquely and recognizably no-one else is quite an achievement. The man is hugely underated and deserves more credit then he usually gets. Walker never makes the 'great guitarists' lists and I can never understand why. Everything from his choice of instrument, amplification to his technique is unorthodox. No-one can put up a wall of crunch and grind like him, the man is a genius.
I´ll second that! most

I´ll second that! most underated guitarrist of all time! saw a 100 best guitarrists list on rolling stones a few days ago, no mention of Geordie! even Kobain was on the list, just can´t understand!
I very much agree with that

I very much agree with that statement. Geordie is unique and deadly brilliant. However the rest of the line-up is also quite unique, notably Jaz. This band is the most underrated of the last 30 years.
Let's revel in the fact that

Let's revel in the fact that we love this band; that they are a very special cult phenomena and therefore transcend the need to be in any 'top all time lists' as a band or as individual musicians.


According to Merchantec CEO Confidence Index released recently, South Africa CEOs are expecting to see consequences of Eskom power supply constraints on their bottom lines in 2015.
The report shows that 58% of South African CEOs feel that the lack of Eskom's capacity will have a material effect on their business in the coming year. The remaining 42% are either benefitting from the business opportunity created by Eskom's lack of capacity or are largely affected through the change in consumers' purchasing patterns due to power outages.
CEOs are expecting growth in the local market to remain flat in 2015 and are seeking out potential growth opportunities outside of South Africa. South Africa's economy relies heavily on the basic resources and industrial sectors which are heavily impacted by power outages.
In the consumer goods, consumer services, technology and finance, CEOs have made significant investments to ensure that they are self-sufficient and are feeling the rising cost pressures. They also highlighted that regular load shedding has damaged the international perception of South Africa, with international investors perceiving an unstable and unreliable economy.
The CEO Confidence Index recorded a marginal quarter-on-quarter increase of 3.9% from 50.1 points in Q3 2014 to 52.1 points in Q4 2014.
Financials recorded the largest increase in confidence, rising by a significant 21.9% from 45.6 to 45.6 points, driven by a 34.2% increase in confidence relating to the current economic conditions, a 32.1% increase in confidence relating their ability to secure debt/equity capital and a 25.7% increase in confidence relating to their company growth expectations.
Consumer Services recorded the second largest increase in confidence, rising 7.8% from a negative score of 49.4 in Q3 2014 to above the neutral score line (50 points) to 53.2 points in Q4 2014. The increase in sentiment was primarily driven by a 17.2% increase in confidence relating to economic conditions, an 8.1% increase in confidence relating to their planned level of investment in company business activities and a 6.8% increase in confidence relating to their company growth expectations.
Basic Materials recorded the greatest decrease in confidence for the fourth quarter of 2014, dropping by 8.5% from 53.9 to 49.3 points. The drop in sentiment was primarily driven by a 15.4% decrease in confidence relating to their industry growth expectation, a 12.7% decrease in confidence relating to their company growth expectations and a 10.9% decrease in confidence relating to their planned level of investment in company business activities.

Town N' Country burglar steals more than valuables
by: Peter Bernard
A burglar took thousands of dollars worth of items from a Town N' Country home, but he left behind a crucial clue.
The bungling burglar left great video of his face.
The video shows the man with a cell phone stuck to his ear, dressed in blue, checking out a home on Rustic Drive back in January.
He is wearing blue gloves as he pokes and prods. Then, he notices the Ring camera recording his every move. He moves the camera aside.
8 On Your Side spoke to homeowner Jennifer Fontana on the same Ring system that caught the crook.
"As we pulled up to our home, we noticed the front door was open and the window was broken," said Fontana.
The thief took a class ring, Prada, DKNY and Bulova watches and some make-up.
"They're personal items that were gifts that were given, not just something you can go out and buy," said Fontana.
12 Oaks neighbors are well aware of the break-in, with the news spread via the community's Facebook page.
"We're pretty vigilant about who is around here and who we know is supposed to be here and who isn't supposed to be here," said Brian Hample.
Hample said the latest incident makes him second guess his own security setup.
"We work hard for what we have. And we don't want to lose that just because someone feels like our home is opportunity to just go in and take what's not theirs," said Hample.
Fontana is happy her camera caught the burglar.
"It really gives us hope and a little bit of peace of mind that we could see who was in our home," she said.
You can score some cash if you provide information that results in an arrest.
Crimestoppers is offering $3000 and the homeowner is offering another $1,000.

Swiggy launches POP, offers meals in the range of Rs 99-200
By Rashi Varshney (	@varshneyrashi rashi@medianama.com ) May 23, 2018
The food ordering and delivery platform Swiggy has launched a new service called Swiggy POP targeted at young professionals across seven cities in India. As part of this new service, the company offers a curated menu of single-serve meals in the range of Rs 99- 200 from neighborhood restaurants.
The menu includes items like Indian thalis, bowl meals, Biryanis, Burgers and Asian combos. For Swiggy POP, the company has already tied up with likes of Hotel Sarvana Bhavan (Chennai), Paradise Biriyani (Hyderabad), Rolls Mania (Pune), Dum Matka (Mumbai), Pista House (Hyderabad) and A2B Veg (Chennai) as well as national chains Subway, Rajdhani, Burger King and Taco Bell amongst others.
The company said in a statement that the price of the meal on the menu is what consumers pay during checkout, including zero delivery charges. POP is currently present in Bangalore, Delhi-NCR, Mumbai and Pune, with Hyderabad, Chennai and Kolkata.
"POP was conceptualized keeping in mind the time-pressed working professionals who do not have access to a kitchen and need a hassle-free and foolproof fix to their daily meals," said Anuj Rathi- VP, Product, Swiggy.
Food ordering space
Founded in 2014, Swiggy has about 35,000 restaurants partners across 14 cities in India. However the competition in online food order space is getting fierce with players such as Zomato, UberEats, and now Ola (after FoodPanda's aquisition) has entered the space.
UberEats: Uber recently said that within a year of operations starting from Mumbai in May 2017, Uber Eats has listings from 12,000 restaurants with at least 40 new restaurants being added daily. UberEats which is now available in 13 cities in India is apparently experiencing nearly 50% month-on-month growth, and the number of orders has doubled in the last 3 months. The company said that it will expand the offering in tier 2 markets in the coming month.
Zomato: Food tech major Zomato recently said that in FY18, food ordering brought in nearly 30% of Zomato's revenue, with the share increasing from close to 18% in FY17. In March 2018, food delivery in India grew by 48% in terms of order volume over the previous month and revenue-wise by 55%. Its food ordering service is functional in 15 Indian cities and 5 cities in the Middle East. In terms of usage, the company said it had nearly 5.5 million monthly food orders in March 2018. In February, Zomato raised $150 million from Alibaba's Ant Financial.
Ola: In December, Ola bought Foodpanda India from its Germany-based parent Delivery Hero Group and said they that will invest $200 million in the food delivery business. Foodpanda India claims to have around 15,000 restaurant partners across 100 cities in India.

Charming conversations on drug use and sexuality
Our activity for the campaign offered insights into conversations about sexuality and drug use, departing from mainstream understandings that prioritise abstinence and prohibition to, instead, embrace the importance of pleasure, care and consent.
By Jorge Herrera Valderrábano and Romina Vázquez, from Instituto RIA (an organisation doing research, education and advocacy on social justice and peacebuilding public policies).
Global estimates suggest that approximately 1 in 7 of adolescents have a mental health problem, and these estimates are based on incomplete data, representing less than 7% of the world's adolescents. The COVID-19 pandemic has posed additional challenges to the mental health and well-being of adolescents and young adults, potentially increasing the prevalence of mental health disorders. Moreover, in 2020, about 1.75 million adolescents between the ages of 10 and 19 were living with HIV worldwide. Adolescents account for about 5% of all people living with HIV and about 11 per cent of new adult HIV infections. Outside of sub-Saharan Africa, the highest numbers of HIV-positive adolescents are in Asia and Latin America.
We are committed to providing pragmatic, accurate and evidence-based education on drug use. For this reason, we decided to address this topic in combination with another that should be treated with sensitivity and precision: sexuality. Last year, as part of an activity within the framework of the Support Don't Punish Global Day of Action, Instituto RIA launched a campaign on drugs and sexuality in social media. Continuing a project focused on middle school and high school students and with the visual support of infographics, we created a set of pedagogical materials providing information to different social sectors, to enhance education strategies on drug use and sexuality. The topics included: motherhood and cannabis, vulnerable populations who use drugs, the relationship between sex, drugs, and social networks, and sexual practices under the influence of stimulants, sedatives and psychedelics.
In these pieces, we include information on the substances most frequently used during sexual practices. We discuss the expected effects, the most common presentations, available routes of administration, dosage recommendations, where to find more information, as well as harm reduction strategies. We felt it was important to point out the reasons to talk about drugs and sexuality beginning in childhood and adolescence, and to specify how it can be approached, including a short guide promoting socio-emotional skills to avoid problematic drug use or dependence. We also dove deep into the public health and social justice standards that key populations, such as the LGBTI+ community, sex workers, or people who inject drugs need.
Psychoactive substances can alter our ability to communicate effectively, so we thought it was appropriate to design a fact sheet on sex, drugs, and consent. Our capacity to provide consent under the effects of drugs depends on being able to make informed, enthusiastic decisions, free of pressure and coercion. There must be clear, voluntary, and unambiguous agreements. If the person cannot speak coherently, has difficulty walking, or is unconscious, they are definitely NOT able to give consent.
There must be clear, voluntary, and unambiguous agreements. If the person cannot speak coherently, has difficulty walking, or is unconscious, they are definitely NOT able to give consent.
This project allowed us to offer key insights to conversations about sexuality and drug use. Unfortunately, information on both topics has historically been based on abstinence and prohibition, so it is necessary to promote a paradigm shift that prioritizes pleasure, care, and consent. Instituto RIA achieved high levels of outreach with the infographics, and we received positive comments about the importance of making visible these controversial topics. It was an excellent opportunity to continue opening the debate, to motivate organizations that are working on issues related to drug policies to do the same, and to strengthen networks that already share information based on scientific evidence. This year at the UN CND Session, we even organized a side event exploring this topic deeper. If you would like to see the infographics in English click here, or in Spanish click here.

Kansas City as an Adult: segregation, not-for-profit mostly Caucasian Kansas-dwelling young naive women busting their asses for at-risk members of society, namely black kids, writing in coffee shops, human resources corporate lackey, bad schools, loss, near death, vision, movement.
Kenya: exotic, complicated, devastating, addictive, motherland, artistic renaissance, heartbreak, orphans, corruption, exhaustion, service, family, burning garbage, unfenced lions, tusker, dancing around the fire, samosas, traffic jams, hard rains, crusty dust, mangoes, pineapples, hope.
New York City: everyone is an artist and everyone is a Democrat and everyone has white wires coming out of their ears. Crying fit in the middle of Williamsburg at rush hour and no one chooses to notice because they are moving fast so fast. Feeling the pulse of the city pound in your inner ear.
Joplin: Gun racks and fetus billboards and precious moments and praying hands and poor white people with bad teeth and strip malls and local commercials depicting the owner's entire family standing silently trying to hold a forced smile and get your business, married at eighteen, kids by twenty.
How to mesh, congeal, digest these porous borders, the reality of my geographies? When I overlay and juxtapose the images of my geographies, what is new? At the borders of the layers…is there a fence, a canyon, a line drawn in the dirt? At the borderlands…do I even know I'm there? Have I created an imaginary map, drawn my own lines because I can, because I need to draw the lines? I'm not inclined to plant the flag, stake out my territory, lay down the law. But I must explore, expand, express, experience, expound.
the limits of my identities, the ends of my institutions.

The Bear Hotel is part of the Macdonald group of hotels and resorts and is located in Woodstock, Oxfordshire. The hotel is in a large four-story period building, with green ivy crawling over the brickwork and lots of wonderful flowers.
The hotel is within walking distance of magnificent Blenheim Palace if visiting this historic estate is on your agenda. Otherwise you have the Oxfordshire Museum, shopping, and some countryside all a short distance away. There is always a lot to explore in Oxfordshire so you won't be short of day trips or things to see.
We experienced a Feature Suite during our stay, and the feature for us had to be the large, antique carved four-poster bed which took pride of place in the bedroom area of our suite. The bed is the first thing your eyes fall on as you open the door, and it definitely gives the room an air of romance. Making this suite the perfect choice if you're looking for a romantic getaway.
Our room overlooked the courtyard which captured all the charm of Woodstock. We also had a living area which featured a sofa and dining table. The suite also had a bathroom with a large bath, and a separate wet room. The suite was more than adequate for what we wanted, the decor was clean and crisp, whilst retaining its original charm.
Other facilities include a restaurant which offers a wide range of dishes, a lot of which are created with fresh, seasonal ingredients. You can also find 'The Churchill Lounge', a lounge serving morning coffee and afternoon tea.
The Bear Hotel is in a great location, the staff were a delight, and the suite was superb. We recommend booking one of their Feature Suites to experience the magnificent bed as this is an experience not easily found elsewhere. We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay and will certainly be visiting again.

L'École spéciale d'architecture (ESA, Scuola speciale di architettura) è un istituto privato per l'insegnamento dell'architettura con sede a Parigi al 254 di boulevard Raspail.

Storia
Fondata nel 1865 con il nome di École centrale d'architecture (Scuola centrale di architettura) è il più antico istituto di architettura in Francia. La scuola fu riconosciuta ufficialmente di pubblica utilità a partire dal 1870.

La Scuola speciale di architettura nella sua forma attuale nasce dal fallimento del progetto di Eugène Viollet-le-Duc di riforma della Scuola imperiale di Beaux-Arts al fine di introdurre insegnamenti specifici per la professione di architetto, come storia dell'architettura moderna, diritto, igiene, etc. Viollet-le-Duc decise allora di sostenere il progetto dell'ingegner Émile Trélat e creare una libera università di architettura, per reagire contro il monopolio dell'Académie des beaux-arts. Fra i primi centotrentasette azionisti della scuola si trovano Ferdinand de Lesseps, Jean-Baptiste André Godin, Émile Muller e lo stesso Viollet-le-Duc. La Scuola è attualmente diretta dall'architetto Odile Decq. Il diploma della Scuola speciale di architettura è riconosciuto dallo Stato francese sin dal 1934 e di conseguenza è riconosciuto anche dall'Unione europea, dando diritto all'iscrizione all'Ordine degli architetti.

HomeTeamNs, the non-profit group that serves operationally ready national servicemen (NSmen) from the Singapore Police Force and Singapore Civil Defence Force, has appointed its new president, Ms Josephine Teo, the first woman to lead this group.
Ms Teo, who is also Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, the Second Minister for Manpower and Home Affairs, took over this position from Minister for Social and Family Development and Second Minister for National Development, Mr Desmond Lee.
When asked about her appointment, she stated that being the first woman president of HomeTeamNs did not bother her as the organisation's members have welcomed her.
Ms Teo also said, "The good thing is that HomeTeamNS is supported by a very committed team of volunteers, and they have been through NS. They bring many good ideas to the table; I am very happy to serve alongside them," when asked if her lack of national service experience would be an issue.
Mrs Teo launched the organisation's revamped Frontline bimonthly magazine, which now has a microsite, at the HomeTeamNS Members Extravaganza held at Suntec City yesterday, as well as handing out 66 Children's Education Awards worth $42,000 in total.
Mrs Teo also launched the #NSmemories campaign that aims to raise the profile of Home Team NSmen and give them a platform to remember their NS days where members can upload their memories to the Frontline microsite, and selected stories will be turned into comic strips.

Q: Change color of ToolBarItem in XAML I've added a toolbaritem in my app, however i dont see a way to change its background and text color.
<ContentPage.ToolbarItems>

    <ToolbarItem Text="About"
                 Icon="ic_action_more_vert.png"
                 Priority="0"
                 Order="Secondary"

                 Priority="0"
                 Order="Secondary"/>

</ContentPage.ToolbarItems>

This is what I'd like changed. The black menu with white text, want to change that bg color and text color. Any idea how to achieve this?

A: As @Gerald Versluis suggested, you can do this by Android styling.
Firstly you can find the styles.xml file under the values folder of Resources in Android project:

Inside of this file, you can open this file and create a style for your menu like this:
<style name="AppToolbarTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
  <item name="android:colorBackground">#2196F3</item>
  <item name="android:textColor">#000080</item>
</style>

Then open the Toolbar.axml in android project

and change the app:popupTheme of Toolbar like this:
app:popupTheme="@style/AppToolbarTheme"

Update:
Here is the code of Toolbar:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
    android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
    app:popupTheme="@style/AppToolbarTheme" />

A: I found a solution :https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/40529/toolbaritem-textcolor
Simple add to "styles.xml":
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor"> @color/orange </item>

I've spent hours looking for it..

A: This worked for me
In styles.xml
<item name="android:actionMenuTextColor">#000080</item>

A: To change first item text edit android:theme android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" or android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" for second item text edit popupTheme

Posting this since it seems a fair few people want to try out Yz50/Clockwork's version of Garm3n Hud Konr Wings from Quake.
edit: I should carify that the font is optimized for 1024x768 resolution. If you have troubles positioning it the best you can do is mess with the crosshair size and positioning.
Open up steam/steamapps/Common/Team Fortress 2/tf/custom; you will be working within this folder from now on.
If have a custom hud installed look for the resource folder within custom. It may look like this custom/resource, custom/HUD/resource or something similar. Once you have found the resource folder check if there's a file called Garm3nFont.ttf is there, if there is delete it.
Open up clientscheme.res from resource with a text editor and check you've got this text in there, if you haven't paste it.
Open up hudlayout.res in your scripts folder in custom. It may look like this custom/scripts, custom/HUD/scripts or something similar.
[i]edit: I should carify that the font is optimized for 1024x768 resolution. If you have troubles positioning it the best you can do is mess with the crosshair size and positioning.
Thank you :) I love these huds!
Also if you run at a 1920 x 1080 resolution and you don't want to play on like a size 45 "" crosshair, you should change the tall value in clientscheme.res to 12.5. Then you can just edit the crosshair values in the scripts to center it. You can finally play with yz50's size 32 "" xhair with minor centering issues(a couple pixels sticking out).
Thanks for doing this. Should clear up a lot of confusion with HUD crosshairs.
Here is the correct font file for macintosh operating systems: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21833101/Garm3nFont.ttf, do everything the same but use this font file instead. Only some of the crosshairs work, the ones that I have found to work are the ones corresponding to 'i' and the numbers '1-9'.
Does this work in the default HUD? I can't seem to find my hudlayout.res file.
that's what I intended the crosshair to look like when I initially setup all the font/hud files. it's supposed to have the "none" crosshair overlap to make the sides a little more bold, and give the soldier crosshair those little prongs. if you use my settings I'm not sure how it'll look if you use it on a different resolution than 1024x768, it'll probably be a little off centered.
Jru_jit_suDoes this work in the default HUD? I can't seem to find my hudlayout.res file.
Thanks,can you please tell me what file it is? That'd be greatly appreciated.
Jru_jit_su Tooni Jru_jit_suDoes this work in the default HUD? I can't seem to find my hudlayout.res file. yeah it does, but you'll need to extract the default hudlayout.res and clientscheme.res from one of the .gcf files (I'm not sure which) and do it from there Thanks,can you please tell me what file it is? That'd be greatly appreciated.
it's called "team fortress 2 content.gcf" and is in your steamapps folder, use GCFscape to extract the scripts and resource folders from there and place those two folders in your tf folder, then follow the guide.
If anyone has this setup could they post a DL link?
Lights_If anyone has this setup could they post a DL link?
if anyone has what setup? the crosshair within the default hud?
Tooni Lights_If anyone has this setup could they post a DL link?
Lights_ Tooni Lights_If anyone has this setup could they post a DL link?
A lot of huds come with it pre-installed, like omp hud and rays hud.
http://www.mediafire.com/?7ad0mb0b6vv03md Enjoy the default hud with wings.
is it possible to have it look like yz50s screenshots if you use 1920x1080? The one I have is offcentred and I dont know the correct values for the x pos and y pos.
Are you on no crosshair? Also, go into the resources folder and install garm3n font.
MYLESAre you on no crosshair? Also, go into the resources folder and install garm3n font.
Gonna try that tomorrow, thanks.
KlausGonna try that tomorrow, thanks.
If you still have errors, add me.
How do you make it so it only appears for scout using the achievement tracker method? Like what text should I put in my scout.cfg or in the lines of the custom crosshair?


Two typical approaches for securing sinking concrete foundations are piering and also slabjacking. In piers, below ground supports lift the concrete and keep it in position. The Digs repair service staff is deeply to mount Piers under the structure, raise it hydraulically back right into correct setting, and maintain it in place. This repair method places numerous factors at numerous points under the structure.
Two standard types of problems are splitting as well as variation triggered by unstable soil conditions, tree root penetrations, seismic tremblings, mistake construction, or concrete deterioration from age, flooding, or long contact with too much dampness. Various other failings are uneven floorings as well as fractured floor tiles.
The price of piers differs significantly. It depends on the kind of task, the size of the job, the design of the job. Pier rates depend upon the depth of where they're going to enter, what sort of pier that there is. Often, there's a gas line in the way. Occasionally, there's electrical lines in the method. There are sprinkler lines. There are shrubs. There is concrete. There's a lot of variables that simply truly play into the truth of a pier rate. There's a lot of points that individuals don't see. The surprise costs of piering.
Pier and also beam structure can be effectively repaired to costumer. Average prices can vary, and can cost as little as $ 1,500, while others can cost upwards of $ 10,000. It's one thing to install steel shims to stabilize girder beams under a house and quite another to install concrete piers all the way around a house.
Watching the videos about Something You Should Know about How Much Do Foundation Piers Cost and don't forget to like and share this videos.


The bill has already gained staunch bipartisan support, with 21 Republican and seven Democratic co-sponsors.
"This bill is needed, I support it completely, I congratulate my colleagues for their leadership on it, and let's get together and pass it this year," Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., said in support of the bill in a panel at the Financial Data Summit on Thursday.
"I also believe Congress has a responsibility to express what we think the best principles are for financial regulation. This is why I'm supportive of the Financial Transparency Act and believe it's time for financial regulators to update their data standards for the 21st century," said Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Ill.
During the panel, Issa was asked why financial regulatory agencies couldn't have modernized reporting requirements on their own, rather than through legislation.
"I guess the easy answer is, they didn't," said Issa, elaborating that many agencies are comfortable with paper and PDF reporting formats, which are difficult to search and less secure.
"The reason we need this is because they won't share, so we have to force them to do it," added Maloney. She also expressed her support for requiring financial reports to be in Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), a free global standard for the exchange of business information. She applauded the Securities and Exchange Commission for proposing a rule two weeks ago that would require publicly traded companies to submit their reports in inline XBRL.
Though Maloney was in the minority of Congress members that supported XBRL requirements two years ago, she said that many are already changing their minds. She said that educating her colleagues is one of the most important components in garnering support for XBRL and the Financial Data Act.
"Acronyms that you all are so comfortable with become paralyzing to others and be seen as one more thing that we're going to be requiring out of companies," said Hultgren.
Issa added that sometimes one constituent, donor, or organization can convince a legislator that such financial data regulations are bad based on misinformation or a desire to profit through deciphering the confusion that current standards create.
Issa added that the advances in financial data regulation should act as inspiration for widespread data standardization within government.
Issa also called the Trump administration a "golden opportunity" for these kinds of modernization, because so many of the officials come from the private sector and expect things to work the first time.
"When you put people in that are used to getting reports in real time, you change the dynamics of organizations," Issa said.

Documents Required for Company Registration
Muds Management
According to the 2013 Act, a private corporation must have a minimum of two members and a maximum of 200 members to be incorporated. The shareholders of any private limited business are not required to liquidate their assets in the event of financial risk, meaning they should have limited liability. Private limited companies have been around forever. A private limited company continues to operate even if one or more of its members pass away or declare bankruptcy.
Two directors are required for online business formation, and a firm may have up to 15 directors in total. The prospective director must be at least 18 years old. Any private limited company in India may elect a foreign national as a director. For the registration of a private limited company, there is no minimum paid-up capital requirement. Every private limited company must follow its name with "Pvt.Ltd."
The private limited company has no connection to the public and is not permitted to demand any security from any public or public sector. Individuals are not liable for the transfer of shares in a private limited company, protecting them from takeover attempts by large corporations.
Advantages of Registering a Private Limited Company in India
There are numerous benefits to starting a private limited company, including:
Because a private limited company is a distinct legal entity, each member's liability is limited to their share only.
A private limited corporation is a distinct legal person with full legal standing and access to the courts. It takes the place of a fake person and has the authority to purchase real estate.
Credit Availability
In addition to its stockholders, a private limited company may also raise money from debenture holders. A Registered Private Limited Company is regarded as a corporate entity that draws various venture capitalists and angel investors, assisting them in expanding and raising money for the development of their business and company.
Perpetual Existence
A private corporation exists forever. Private limited corporations are seen as distinct legal entities that exist independently of their owners. This means that they cannot be dissolved or come to an end as a result of any of their members, directors, or shareholders passing away, retiring, or going insane.
Enhanced Value In Market
An officially registered private limited corporation is seen as being more reliable than one that is not. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs website makes it simple to find information on registering a private limited business. They are preferred by investors, suppliers, and customers over other company forms. As a result, it raises the firm's brand value among consumers, other investors, and vendors.
Ease In Transfer Of Ownership
In a private corporation, it is quite simple to issue additional shares and transfer equity to new shareholders.

We hope you understand the company registration process.
Legal papers that regulate businesses provide dos and don'ts for them. These are known as MOA and AOA, which outline the company's internal management and task scope. They serve as the company's charter, to put it simply. They establish the company's identity, purpose, and methodology as well as protect and structure the business of the company.
Along with the firm's incorporation form, the MOA and AOA are submitted to the registrar of the company. These are essential, and they alone form the basis of the business.
Memorandum Of Association (MOA)
The MOA is the cornerstone of the company's structure and provides the specifics of its constitution. The purpose and boundaries of the corporation are outlined in what is known as the charter of the firm. Members of the company must subscribe to the MOA to sign the MOA at the time of the company's incorporation as attestation or approval of its content.
Contents of MOA:
Name Clause: The name of the business must be included, with "Pvt.Ltd." or "ltd." for a private corporation. if the firm is publicly traded. The name must be original and distinct from that of any other business. It shouldn't imply any association with any municipal or governmental entity.
Condition: The jurisdiction in which the company's registered office is located. The company must establish its registered office within 15 days of incorporation, and each office must display the address of the company.
It should specify the company's purpose and cannot be altered in the future. The Company shall not behave in a manner inconsistent with this Agreement or the Agreement shall be deemed to be ultra-virus and invalid ab-initio.
Liability Clause: Whether it is limited by guarantee, shares, or unrestricted, the liability of the members of the company should be expressed in it. A member's responsibility cannot be increased by the firm without his or her express approval.
Capital Clause: The share capital with which the company will be registered should be stated. It will specify the maximum number of shares.
Clause of Subscription: It contains all subscriber information. These subscribers are required to purchase at least one share, and each will indicate how many shares they want to purchase.
Articles Of Association (AOA)
The administration of the firm and how its operations are carried out will be governed and controlled by the bylaws, rules, and regulations. AOA is controlled by the Company's MOA and is a component of it.
It is a supporting document that contains information on the management, internal operations, rights, and duties of the firm. The corporations have the authority to modify their AOA, but such modification requires a special decision.
The most crucial choice that must be taken when beginning a business is selecting a suitable business structure. The first thing to think about is what kind of entity is most appropriate for a firm. Each of these variations of the entity has advantages and disadvantages. You should discuss the following benefits and drawbacks with your business attorney:
little liability
Legal documentation, particularly written agreements
Treatment of taxes
Industry Flexibility, Personal Liability, Complexity, and Control
Regulations, permissions, and licenses
There are benefits to each business form, but one must pick wisely. Depending on the local regulations and the purpose of the organization, one should select the appropriate business structure. One can alter their business structure over time, moving from a sole proprietorship to a limited liability corporation, for example.
A start-up should first focus on its objective, financial situation and needs, risk, and capacity for company growth. Depending on where you set up your business, there may be different requirements since each location has a different set of rules for various business structures.

How is this "Media Backup" going to work?
Discussion in 'iPod touch' started by sportsfrk214, Jul 10, 2008.
I have quite a bit of Music on my iPod that is not in my iTunes library, and a lot of the songs in my library aren't formatted as nicely as the ones on my iPod (i.e., the album names, art, etc.). Is this media backup going to put all my music back on my iPod the way I had it?
I'd imagine that it would just sync it and make a backup record as it does now. If you use iTunes as it is designed to be used, everything would be in your library on your computer. If it's not, you could very well be out of luck. If it actually pulls everything off of the device, it would be a complete waste of time for most people. I'd just forgo the backup and re-sync my playlists.
If you really want to know, go ask on the iPhone forum. Many of them have used the back-door link to get the firmware already, so they've gone through the process.

Wii Are Not Fit
Fifteen years into this marriage and Wii has validated what I've come to suspect. We are not fit. But at I'm fitter than my husband by some 13 years.
Our fifteenth wedding anniversary was today. The traditional gift for fifteen years of marriage is crystal. But let's be real, who has time to pull out the good crystal these days? And with the economy like it is, what would you drink from it anyway, some Deer Park water? Wine from a box?
The modern day gift for the fifteenth anniversary is a watch. I love watches. But truth be told, I have quite a few and neither one of us really needs another one. I browsed for some fancy watches on the internet thinking I could get one for cheap for my husband from Overstock's website, but it seems my definition of cheap, and theirs, well… let's just say the difference was something like the Greed on Wall Street and people being tossed from their homes on Main Street. In other words, I didn't have the money.
This summer we spent a week in Seattle for a family reunion. Some of the cousins had a Wii and the three of us, my husband, son, and I, had a blast playing with it. That says a lot coming from me, because I don't like video games. It's not a moral or philosophical dislike, it's just that well, I more or less suck at playing video games. So for years I had sworn we'd never own a Play Station, or an Xbox, or God forbid, one of those handheld games that kids can't seem to go anywhere without these days.
But here we are. It's 2008 and we have an XBox which my mother-in-law bought my husband for Christmas one year. It's mostly kept and played with in the basement where I don't have to look at it. And then there's the Game Cube, which, surprisingly enough was gift given to my son from my parents and brother AT MY SUGGESTION because I wouldn't let Snags play the Xbox, and they had a GameCube at the place he spends time after school, but the older kids hogged it, and Snags was sad about that, and I thought this would an acceptable solution even though it went against my no video games mindset. And lastly, there are the two Nintendo DS systems. Because as Santa pointed out a year or two ago, you can't just have one, there are games that require two players, and those players each need their own DS. Yes, I bought that one hook, line, and sinker.
But all of those game systems left me with nothing. Okay, I did get Dance Dance Revolution for the Xbox one year for Christmas, but it seems as if the dancing gene is akin to the video game playing gene, and it skipped me.
Then came the trip to Seattle and the playing of Wii bowling. I LOVE THAT GAME. Because, FINALLY, something I am good at!
When we returned from Seattle I casually mentioned to my husband that maybe we should consider buying a Wii, and before I knew it, he went and bought one. We didn't tell Snags, and we hid it away. It was to be a Christmas present for the three of us.
That, of course, was before Star Wars, The Force Unleashed came out. My husband said he'd like that for his birthday. But his birthday comes more than a month BEFORE Christmas. And since crystal and watches were out of my price range, and I was plum out of other ideas, I figured The Force Unleashed could make a nice anniversary present.
Snags, when I told him about our 15th wedding anniversary, simply looked at me and said "That's Impressive." When my husband unwrapped his anniversary gift, Snags said, "Ummm, but Mom? We don't have a Wii!"
So imagine his surprise and delight when we told him that yes, actually, we did have a Wii, and it was our anniversary present to each other and that he could play with it too. He danced, he sang, he spent the money and gift cards he got from friends and relatives for his birthday on the Wii version of Star Wars, The Complete Saga. Because as he said, "It's better to play it on a big screen!"
The night my husband set up the Wii, the two of us discovered the part where Wii can assess your fitness by having you punch a punching bag, play some tennis, hit some baseballs, and do some bowling. Our scores weren't so good. My husband, whose 41st birthday is coming up next month, was given a Wii age of 60. And I… well after a pretty disastrous turn at baseball and tennis, where I feared I'd be scored as dead, was saved by my tremendous bowling skills, and scored a Wii age of 47. It could be worse, I guess.
In truth, I shouldn't be surprised at this. I've heard that as people age, their reflexes aren't as good. If my husband's Wii age is really 60, then that might explain how he managed to run over his foot with the lawnmower last summer. It might also explain how he managed to mangle some fingers with his table saw last weekend. The lawnmower incident truly can be explained as an accident, his reflexes you see, weren't fast enough to stop the lawnmower from rolling over his toes. But this latest incident was totally preventable. My husband, after all, was the one who removed the blade guard from the saw blade so he could cut a small piece of wood and then his fingers. That decision more or less backs up Wii's assessment. His reflexes aren't so hot and he's maybe got a little bit of dementia going on there.
And so to my husband I'd like to say: "Happy Anniversary, you old fart. I'll see you at the bowling alley!"

Alisdair, Alistair, Alastair, Stephen H, Andy, and Nigel met at Graham's house in Edinburgh: the sun was shining after heavy showers on the previous evening.
This was a "show and tell" meeting. Alisdair kicked off by giving us a quick look at what he's been working on recently: a small station building based on Highland Railway prototypes (at Grandtully on the Aberfeldy branch, and Guay not far away on the Perth-Inverness line) which he started at last month's meeting:
The slate roof was made by scribing styrene sheet to give the vertical edges, then cutting single-slate-height strips in the horizontal direction and staggering them when laying them. The sides are Evergreen weatherboarding. The lamp is scratchbuilt and took a couple of evenings to get right.
He has also been working on some Highland rolling stock from Anthony Yeates' etches: a Diagram 47 open carriage truck:
and a Type A passenger brakevan in early 20th condition after rebuilding from the 1870s rib-sided original:
A restored example survives in the Museum of Scottish Railways at Bo'ness.
We had no time to hear much more about these lovely models however, since a distress call related to a burst pipe and ceiling damage meant he had to leave the scene to dash back home to Glasgow. Maybe he will tell us more next time.
Andy gave us a photo-sequence reprise of Sauchenford's baseboard construction with discussion of the lessons learned - basically, don't use soft-grade balsa as a trackbase, since it compresses when leaned on, causing gentle dips in track level which have calamitous effects on electrical pick-up and thus running quality; and don't use plain plastic point bases (the 2mmSA design has been improved since the version we used). We also discussed the disadvantages of exhibiting a shunting layout where the headshunts are "off-scene": the average exhibition visitor does not understand that a train is being shunted and will re-appear, but instead assumes it has disappeared and walks off to a more interesting exhibit. Sauchenford's successor is already being discussed but plans remain nebulous.
Alistair showed us the latest tweaks to the track plan of his forthcoming small terminus layout. We discussed whether 4' or 3' board length is more practical, and whether a 12" depth is adequate to create a realistic background. The consensus was that 18" is better, but 12" or less can work if the viewing angles are controlled. Pete Matcham's Kyle of Lochalsh layout was mentioned, where the total depth is 6" or less. Tony Simms' recent work on Hull Bridge with low-relief building silhouettes came up as well.
Alastair discussed his South Queensferry-based layout. He has drawn up the trackplan in Templot and used this as a basis for a 2D outline sketch from which he developed a 3D model using SolidWorks. This was turned into a plastic point base on his recently-acquired, reasonably-priced 3D extrusion printer, which has a 200x200x250mm work envelope. The advice from the group was to use 2mmSA peg chairs every third chair or so, by providing accurately-positioned holes in the 3D print. The advantage over 2mmSA standard bases is that the exact geometry of any desired formation can be printed. Interesting work. Alastair also discussed his plans for a first loco - he wanted to try his hand at an ex-Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway double-framed 2-4-0, an 1860s W.S. Brown design rebuilt by Holmes in the 1880s and withdrawn shortly before the 1914-18 war. The group's advice was that a 2-4-0 can be hard to balance and the framing would complicate the build, and that it might be better to build a simpler design first, such as an 0-6-0 tender loco. Sound advice no doubt but Alastair did not look like a man convinced. We'll follow his progress with interest.
Nigel had brought along the recently-released N Gauge Society industrial shunter so we could all have a look, and very nice it was too.
He also tried out another member's China-made binocular magnifiers of the type available on Amazon which Tim Watson recommended a few months ago on RMWeb: although the in-focus area is smaller than with normal magnifying spectacles, they allow a much more comfortable, less hunched work position, and are very effective as long as adequate light is available. The difference is plain to see:
Nigel found he could wear the binocular magnifiers over his normal prescription glasses by simply removing the safety lenses from the frame. It's important to use a head-cord (supplied with the unit) to stop them slipping forward when worn due to their weight. Admittedly, they cost three or four times as much as cheaper clip-on magnifiers, but the benefits from the more comfortable working position make this a worthwhile investment.
Nigel also gave a detailed and very interesting discussion and demonstration of progress with another recent project, and showed us some very encouraging samples. I'll not steal his thunder by discussing it further here but we were all fascinated.
And that was pretty much it, apart from a lot of further discussion and consumption of the usual bacon rolls, cake, tea and coffee. Our next meeting is likely to be in Glasgow, exceptionally on the third Saturday of the month, to avoid clashing with the forthcoming 2mmSA Tutbury supermeet which several of us hope to attend.


Volkswagen has detailed the Passat Performance Concept, which will make its official debut at the Detroit Motor Show, next week.
The saloon is powered by the well-known 1.8 liter TSI four-cylinder petrol – 253HP (186 kW). The modified engine will replace the 2.5-liter inline-5 in United States. The smaller engine has more power and torque and lot lower fuel consumption. The 1.8 liter TSI is coupled to a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
