As Constables resurface, Tate introduces a new side of the artist
Leslie Parris and Ian Fleming-Williams discuss what we can learn from these new pictures
William Vaughan
From 13 June to 15 September, the Tate Gallery is staging a major exhibition of the landscapes of John Constable. Since the Constable bicentenary exhibition at the Tate in 1976 many new works have been discovered and advances made in Constable scholarship. Leslie Parris, Deputy Keeper of the British collection at the Tate Gallery and Ian Fleming-Williams, Constable expert, have organised the coming exhibition to allow a new look at the landscape paintings.
Constable is such an important artist that in a sense there's always a case for having an exhibition of his work. But did you have particular reasons for wanting to mount this show at this time?
Leslie Parris: Yes. there have been so many new Constable's emerging. After the 1976 Bicentenary Exhibition held here at the Tate lots of stuff started to come through and by 1986 there was so much that we felt it was time that the public saw these often very exciting new works. We therefore submitted a proposal to the Trustees of the Tate Gallery for an exhibition. At that point it was going to be basically just the new paintings.
So do you feel that the Constable you are going to present in this exhibition is significantly different from the one people normally think of?
Ian Fleming-Williams: To a large extent, yes. I think about half the works to be shown will not be familiar to the British public.
In what other ways will it be unlike the 1976 bicentenary show?
L.P. The new exhibition is organised in a different way. It isn't arranged on a strictly chronological basis. Although it is loosely chronological we break this sequence frequently in order to form groups of works, often of slightly different dates, so that we can demonstrate Constable's interest in particular themes and show how he approached the same subject in different ways.
I.F-W. As well as this part-thematic arrangement, the show is divided into two main parts – the "Suffolk Years" and the "London Years". The "Suffolk Years" are the time up to just after his marriage in 1816.
L.P. This is the period which has been filled out most by the new pictures that have emerged recently. One picture which springs to mind is his 1816 exhibit "The Wheatfield", which was totally unknown. There were two drawings in the Louvre which might have been connected with it, but nobody had any idea what the overall image was, and that's a picture which adds a lot because it's got many more figures than most of his pictures.
I.F-W. At this point he settles in London permanently and his visits to Suffolk become fairly infrequent.
What would you say were the main things that changed?
I.F-W. The main thing is that he stopped painting Suffolk subjects from nature. In his later Suffolk years he was concentrating very much on trying to make pictures for exhibition painted largely on the spot – though finished in the studio. Now he developed them entirely in the studio. The ideas get bigger and bigger. It was an entirely different procedure and it produced quite different sorts of paintings.
Was any of this in his mind, as far as one can tell, when he made the decision to move to London?
L.P. Having got married he realised even more strongly that he had to make a mark. He had to establish himself at the Royal Academy. I think this has very much to do with the increase in the size of his canvases – the move to painting "six foot" pictures. Only with these would he actually be noticed.
One of the things that strikes me when reading about Constable is his slow development. He worked for years, painfully and with difficulty, without recognition. His persistence is admirable – rather like that of Cézanne later in the century. Yet like Cézanne, too, he was also fortunate in having the means to work so long without recompense. For he did not have to earn his living. Is that correct?
I.F-W. I think so. His father gave him an allowance which enabled him to start life as an artist. But his parents were always at him, trying to get him to work harder and to paint portraits; or if he was going to paint landscapes – well, at least to finish them! I think one could in a sense fairly call Constable a semi-professional. And there is a certain sort of lack of professionalism in his attitude to some of his paintings.
I.F-W. At the same time fame and fortune meant a great deal to him. He did want popularity, desperately wanted it. It comes up again and again in his letters. He wanted it both ways.
How's the exhibition going to end?
L.P. It ends with a large room of paintings from the 1830s which show a great variety, we think, of approaches to landscape painting. But we won't be able to tell exactly how various they are until we see them hanging together.
Do you feel that this is one of the important reasons for mounting an exhibition?
L.P. Yes. This is something which you can do in an exhibition which you can't do in any other way. You can't do it by writing a book. You actually have to have the physical objects there.
But there will also be a contribution made by the catalogue.
I.F-W. In the entries to the catalogue we are inviting people to look at the paintings and drawings very closely and see what a lot there is in them; especially some of the better known paintings, before which people are possibly apt to just stand and say 'oh yes, that's so and so' and then move on. We are asking them to look more closely and see things that have not been pointed out before.
Could you give me an example?
I.F-W. Well in the famous "Cornfield" (National Gallery) there have been various interpretations as to why the boy is drinking, why the sheep have stopped, what the dog is doing. It's quite clear progress. In fact there is a pigeon in the tree above, and the dog is glancing up because of the clacking noise of the pigeon's wings. Constable is in fact inviting us to hear this.
That's very interesting. So he's actually wanting us to hear sounds in his pictures. Are there other examples?
I.F-W. Yes, in the "Leaping Horse" there's a moorhen right in the foreground that's coming screaming towards you with its wings outstretched. Constable actually describes this in a letter. And the reason why the moorhen is screaming through the snares is because the horse is jumping overhead, and there's a thunder of hooves. So it's not only the sensation of the wind and the sunlight and the sparkle that he wants you to share, but also actual sound.
We've been talking about paintings a lot but, of course, another important part of the exhibition is the drawings that you're including.
I.F-W. Yes. There's going to be two rooms of drawings. Unlike the rest of the exhibition they are arranged strictly chronologically. The first drawing is from the time when he first emerges as an artist of personality, in 1798. And the last drawing is the last dated drawing from nature that we know.
What date was that?
I.F-W. October 1835. One criticism made of his Bicentenary exhibition was that we showed none of his oil sketches from nature in the last part of his life. But of course there weren't any.
Do you regard him as a great draughtsman?
I.F-W. Absolutely. The thing that has caused him to be underrated as a landscape draughtsman is that his favourite medium was pencil, and pencil is a very ordinary instrument. It's black and white. And people tend to go for colour.
Why did he choose pencil?
I.F-W. I think it's scrutiny. Turner's work with a pencil is rather cursory, whereas Constable goes into the very quality of what he is studying; the texture of bark, and whether the tree is rotten, whether the branches have broken, where the leaves are dead, and so on.
L.P. He's also very much concerned with the way in which the light reveals things. In Constable it's the light which actually forms the objects, whereas with Turner the light really suffuses them. It doesn't define them, it dissolves them. What we hope will emerge will be a much fuller picture of Constable himself than has been available in the past.
And who is the show for? The public or the connoisseur?
L.P. For everyone.
I.F-W. It's a show to be enjoyed at various levels. With the emphasis on enjoying.

Samsung officially launched the Galaxy A9 here in Malaysia.
In the United Kingdom it will cost £549, though we don't yet know the U.S. or Euro price of the phone. The Galaxy A9 (2018) also packs decent mid-range hardware- Snapdragon 660 SoC, up to 8GB of RAM, Super AMOLED display and a massive 3800mAh battery.
Aligned vertically in the corner of the phone's body, each lens is optimised for a different type of photo, hopefully resulting in one of the most versatile camera setups around.
The company is aiming to do one better with the Galaxy A9, the world's first quad camera phone. There is now no pricing information available for the device.
Measuring 162.5 x 77 x 7.8mm, the Galaxy A9 is actually slightly taller and wider than the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, which has a fractionally bigger 6.4-inch display. Theoretically, Samsung Galaxy A9 2018 will be capable of delivering photos that will cover more real estate, have clarity and sharpness and bokeh mode.
But delays and a fatal crash in 2014 prevented Sir Richard's original ambitions. "We should be in space within weeks, not months ".
Moving on from the camera department, the Samsung Galaxy A9 comes with an unknown octa-core processor that's clocked at 2.2 GHz.
Galaxy A9 arrives in three colours; Caviar Black, Lemonade Blue and Bubblegum Pink.
Speaking about the new A9, DJ Koh, President and CEO of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics, said: "As a global leader in smartphone innovation, we understand the demand for meaningful innovation in a fast-paced world driven by visual communication".
The Korean company's new phone will also feature mobile payment capabilities and expandable storage of up to 512GB. Don't forget to also check out our coverage on the first phone to feature four rear cameras at the links below. It runs on Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box with Samsung Experience skin on top.
Finally, a 3,800mAh battery should be enough to see this coast past the 24-hour mark on typical usage, and we wouldn't be surprised if plenty of people see it last a couple days on the trot.
As for a release date, the Galaxy A9 will be releasing in select markets sometime in November.

- We can choose to move from the storms of life, into His presence.
- We can, with sincere hearts, fully rely on and trust in Him.
- GO right into His presence now, He waits for you!
PRAYER: Lord, I choose to focus on You and to press into Your very presence with courage and boldness. Thank You that I can fully trust You. Amen.


After an enthralling summer of cricket against New Zealand and Australia culminating in the Ashes returning home, England headed to the UAE to face Pakistan looking to avenge the series defeat in 2012.
Up first was Abu Dhabi where our base was the impressive Yas Island, home of the Yas Marina Formula 1 Circuit and conveniently located for the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. Howzat Travellers stayed at either the 4* Crowne Plaza or the 3* Park Inn which were both well received.
The Test Match was dominated by the bat with Shoaib Malik (245) and Alastair Cook (263) both scoring big double hundreds. Only 16 wickets fell in the first 4 days and looked to be heading for a predictable draw, but on the final day the game came to life! 15 wickets fell as England dismissed Pakistan for 173, Adil Rashid taking five wickets on his test debut.
Unfortunately for the travelling Howzat supporters England fell 25 runs short of a remarkable win as fading light brought an end to the game. Another wonderful example of why Test cricket remains the best format of the game.
Customers heading home from Abu Dhabi enjoyed dinner with the Daily Mail Cricket Correspondent Paul Newman at Filini Italian Restaurant.
We transferred to Dubai for the second Test Match where our chosen hotels were the delightful Sofitel in Jumeirah Beach and the Royal Ascot in Bur Dubai close to the Creek. Ahead of the cricket many of the tour party enjoyed the sights of Dubai including the Burj Khalifa, City Tours, Desert Safari and Creek Cruise. Some preferred to simply relax by the pool and do some shopping!
England performed admirably at the 'Ring of Fire' Dubai International Cricket Stadium. After a collapse on the morning of day three which handed the initiative to Pakistan, nobody expected the epic rearguard action we witnessed on the final day as Pakistan won with just 6.3 overs remaining to lead the series 1-0. It was heartbreaking after the efforts of the lower order, in particular Adil Rashid and Mark Wood.
Former county cricketer and now TMS commentator Charlie Dagnall joined us for our Dubai farewell dinner at the Sofitel. A wonderful evening was enjoyed by all as Charlie entertained us with numerous stories from his playing days and fielded many questions from the tour group.
For the final Test in Sharjah we moved across the Creek to 'Old Dubai' and the Deira area of the city to stay at the Flora Grand Hotel. This ensured our daily transfers up to Sharjah avoided the Dubai traffic!
Despite a first innings lead and 76 from local Leicestershire lad James Taylor, England couldn't deal with Pakistan's spinners and slipped to a 127 run defeat in Sharjah to lose the series 2-0. Overall England performed really well in challenging conditions and their efforts were appreciated by the Howzat travelling supporters.
We rounded off the tour with a fantastic cruise down the Dubai Creek on the rustic Al Mansour Dhow. A delicious traditional Arabic buffet was enjoyed by all and our special guest for the evening was John Etheridge, The Sun's Cricket Correspondent who chatted openly with our customers about all things cricket.
Another thoroughly enjoyable Howzat Travel tour despite the cricket results. Thanks to everybody for your company and I look forward to seeing you again on a future trip.
I was delighted to be in the UAE for the last two tests of the Pakistan series in Dubai and Sharjah this autumn. It was ten days of cricket, 35° of heat, and in Dubai, the most comfortable armchair seat I have ever had in any ground in 50 years of watching cricket!
The cricket was always interesting, although the run rate and the subsequent scores were not astonishing. The matches were very close but the results did not quite go as we had hoped.
That having been said, I was once again privileged to be accompanied by 20 wonderful Howzat Travel tourists, all very interesting and sociable in their nature. Obviously the bar of the glorious Sofitel hotel, on Jumeirah Beach, was an early evening gathering point for us all before we went our various ways for the nights entertainment.
The hotel boasted a wonderful restaurant, but the area was full of fine eating establishments, a very well positioned hotel!
There are very many things to do Dubai such as sand safaris or a visit to the Burg Khalifa, the world's tallest building. Several of our group opted to do both and some explored the numerous high-quality shopping malls or the nearby Marina, lots of things to do and lots of fun to be had.
We closed our first week with a tremendous buffet on the Veranda of the Sofitel, Howzat Travel were delighted to introduce Charlie Dagnall as our guest for the evening. He was very interesting and had plenty of amusing anecdotes from his playing days. He was very entertaining and everyone made comment on what a tremendous evening it was, and what a pleasure it was to have Charlie as our guest, particularly being able to put a face to a relatively new Test Match Special voice.
A change of hotel for the second week saw us at the Flora Grand. A slightly more modest hotel close to the airport and more importantly, the Sharjah cricket ground. This hotel had the most delightful staff who befriended many of us and gave a great service. As ever there was lots of good food options around, including a hearty breakfast at the Flora Grand with numerous good restaurants in the area.
Each morning we travelled traffic free to the Sharjah Cricket Club. The cricket again was very interesting over the five days and we were entertained by Pakistan's own 'Barmy Army' throughout.
I think it is only fair to say at this point how hard the England team worked in such very hot conditions. Although they were unsuccessful they did give everything they had. Well done them for entertaining us throughout.
One of the delights of this trip was to recommend a fabulous Italian restaurant to our touring couple who celebrated an important wedding anniversary. It was wonderful to know how happy they were the next day having enjoyed a fabulous Italian meal and given pride of place in a wonderful restaurant.
On the last night we had our farewell dinner on a Dhow, I must admit this was my first trip on such a vessel and I was not disappointed. As always the food was great, drinks flowing and laughs plentiful. On this occasion John Etheridge, cricket correspondent for the Sun newspaper, was our guest. He is an old friend of Howzat Travel and from the comments made afterwards, he proved to be very popular with our tourists once again.
As tour managers it so much fun for my colleagues and I to travel with such delightful people, we always look forward to seeing everyone again. Thanks for coming; you were all great fun to be with.
I cannot wait for South Africa.

Restoring Freshwater Fisheries in the Colombian Amazon
by Margarita Mora
Last month, Margarita Mora traveled to southern Colombia to document the implementation of conservation agreements with local communities through CI's Conservation Stewards Program.

Nine days ago, I arrived in La Pedrera, Colombia. I was supposed to leave yesterday, but the commercial flight that comes here once a week never arrived. Today they told us that it might come tomorrow. In the meantime, there is little point in stressing out about not being able to leave; I'd rather reflect on my trip and keep learning about all the challenges that this unique region faces. The plane will come for us eventually, right?
La Pedrera is a small town located on the Caquetá River in the Colombian Amazon. The town has electricity for only a few hours per day. During that time all the shop owners turn on their TVs and radios. Men, women and children sit on the street to watch TV; as I look around, I see that many of them are currently engrossed in a Japanese soap opera.
This town is very diverse. Here in La Pedrera, you find families from different indigenous groups who came attracted by access to goods such as salt and fishing hooks and basic services like health and education. There are also families who arrived from conflict regions of Colombia looking for a peaceful place to settle.
Surrounding La Pedrera there are indigenous and other rural communities in charge of managing more than 400,000 hectares (988,000 acres) of primary forest. Biodiversity within this area is threatened by unrestricted hunting and overharvesting of fish. Therefore, engaging communities in conservation is crucial for the protection of the resources in the region.
Between 2000 and 2004, CI-Colombia worked with three indigenous reserves and two rural districts in the region to develop resource management plans. The communities surrounding La Pedrera identified overharvesting of fish in nearby lakes as one of the main problems in the region. This was not only an environmental problem but also a social problem, as fish is the main source of protein for these families.
Early in 2008, CI-Colombia and the communities, with the support of CI's Conservation Stewards Program, decided to implement conservation agreements to address threats to the fisheries and improve management of the lakes and creeks.
Under the agreements, the communities committed to:
Stop fishing pirarucu and arowana in the protected lakes and creeks;
Forbid fishing during the spawning season;
Use artisanal fishing gear instead of more destructive methods;
Establish fishing quotas for other species; and
Participate in surveillance activities to prevent outsiders from fishing in their conservation areas.
In exchange for these efforts, community members receive an economic incentive in cash equal to the average wage rate. The benefit package also includes funds for the natural resource committees to ensure they have the means to report problems to authorities, and also to promote the conservation agreements model in neighboring communities.
Almost five years later, local people are reporting that the fisheries are recovering and that fish are more abundant than before.
During my visit, the CI-Colombia team, together with the president of the rural community of Madroño and the natural resources secretary, took me to the lakes protected by Madroño. Arriving at one of the protected lakes after an hour-and-a-half hike, we talked with community rangers and spent a night in their hut. In the morning the rangers took us around the three lakes in a canoe to ensure that no unregistered fishermen were fishing. We also looked for arowanas and pirarucu, the two fish species being assessed on an annual basis to determine the health of the lake.
The next day we went to the campsite of the Indigenous Reserve of Camaritagua, formed by people from at least 10 different indigenous groups. Here the rangers are very busy, as families from Camaritagua and other communities fish all day long in the creek. To ensure that the fishermen are not using nets or other destructive fishing gear, the rangers register all the boats entering the creek. Before leaving for the day, the fishermen and the rangers count and record the number of fish caught. This has been a successful mechanism for controlling overfishing.
After our visit with the rangers, the leaders of Camaritagua invited us and other members of the community to their maloka — a traditional house — to talk about the conservation agreements.
Here men and women shared their thoughts and expectations and asked us about our opinions. They emphasized the importance of protecting the lakes as a way to also protect their territory and their culture. They were also interested in knowing if the project was going to continue next year (it will). It was very interesting to listen to the ideas of the community members, for whom tobacco and mambe — a mixture of coca leaves and ash — are musts for any kind of discussion.
The last afternoon, we hiked the tallest hill near La Pedrera. From the summit you could see an ocean of forest and the Caquetá and Apaporis rivers. The sun setting behind the clouds and the forest was one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. On our way down it was already dark. It was magical to walk in the forest by night guided only by the moon, the stars and our flashlights.
After this visit, it is clear to me that thanks to the conservation agreements, fish populations and the animals and forest surrounding the lakes and creeks are being protected, and that the communities are receiving direct benefits from conservation. Nevertheless, there is still plenty to do in the region to ensure that these communities will be able to maintain protection of these unique sites far into the future.

This is a really nice proyect as the conservation of freshater ecosystems and its fauna, particularly fishes, has not been emphasized. Working with the local people in sustainable activities is the key as you've been doing it here. I believe it is time for a more widescale proyect involving the sustainable management of freshwater ecosystems, the restoration of riparian areas and conservation of tropical fishes.

Inspiring to see ideas into actions that work for communities, wildlife and the environment!

Being from Alabama, you would think that Sasquatch would have visited the U. S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville. That was not the case. So we could not go to his home state to visit without seeing the space ships.
U.S. Space and Rocket Center – Huntsville, AL
Here is what you should know when visiting the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville Alabama.
Sasquatch discusses heat exchange and fuel flow of the F-1's thrust chamber with one of the veteran docents.
Set aside the entire day to see it.
We got there when it opened and didn't leave until closing. Even with the entire day we didn't feel like we spent the time we wanted on all of the exhibits.
You may not have to pay the entrance fee.
If you are a member of a science center or museum participating in the ASTC Travel Passport Program, you are eligible for benefits such as free general admission when you travel outside of your local area. Wish I would have known this. We had planned to get a membership to Seattle Museum of Flight a few months after returning from our trip to Alabama. If I would have known that we would have saved the entrance fee on the Space and Rocket Center we would have bought our local membership before going.

Sasquatch w/ fully stacked Space Transportation System (STS)
The Space and Rocket Center was the highlight of our whirlwind trip to Alabama. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Little Sasquatch wasn't ready to leave at closing and he is a hard one to capture his attention for that long. Sasquatch was eating it up. A little disappointed his parents never put him in the Space Camp there as a child like he wanted after watching SpaceCamp, the 1986 American space adventure film. However, he still dreams of being the first Sasquatch in space.

hello, i'm helen, above is a bad webcam shot of my face and this is my blog.
having read various fashion/style blogs for what seems like decades, i decided that maybe it was time that i should put what i like in my own personal space.
so expect wonderfully high shoes, cupcakes, lipstick, interiors and everything else that happens to cross my path that i develop a sudden need for.
oh and i don't like capital letters.


WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J., Feb. 5, 2013 – Merck, known outside the United States and Canada as MSD, today said a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York returned a mixed verdict in theScheinberg v. Merckcase. After a three-week trial, the jury found that FOSAMAX was not defectively designed and awarded the plaintiff $285,000 on the failure-to-warn claim.
The plaintiff in this case alleged she used FOSAMAX and suffered delayed healing and osteonecrosis of the jaw following a tooth extraction.
During the trial, Merck produced evidence showing that the plaintiff had severe periodontal disease that can cause people to develop jaw and dental problems, regardless of whether they were taking FOSAMAX.
In addition, Merck presented evidence that it acted responsibly in researching and developing FOSAMAX and in monitoring the medicine since it has been on the market. The company's clinical trials, conducted both before and following approval, have involved more than 28,000 patients, including more than 17,000 treated with FOSAMAX. Merck also presented evidence that it provided appropriate and timely information about FOSAMAX to the medical, scientific and regulatory communities and to consumers.
FOSAMAX was approved as a safe and effective medication by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in September 1995 and is approved for multiple indications, including the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
Judge John F. Keenan presided over the trial. Merck is represented by Chilton Varner and Andrew Bayman, both of King & Spalding LLP in Atlanta, Ga.
This is the seventh FOSAMAX case to go to trial. The others included four federal cases and two New Jersey state cases. Merck has won five of the seven trials.

George Ezra, Snow Patrol and Lana Del Rey will headline this year's Latitude Festival in Suffolk.

Norwegian singer Sigrid and Bedford's Tom Grennan are among the other artists who will be performing, while the stand-up comedy acts include Jason Manford and Russell Kane.
Snow Patrol headlined the very first Latitude Festival in 2006 and are looking forward to their return.
"We headlined the very first Latitude in 2006 and we are absolutely delighted to headline this year again," they said.
"It's a great festival and has a special place in our hearts. We can't wait."
George Ezra has also played at the festival before in 2014: "It's no secret that I'm a big Latitude fan. I've been to the festival numerous times as a performer and punter, so to be coming back in 2019 as a headliner - five years after my last performance - is a real treat.

Sam Rayburn Family Spotlight: Abner Love Rayburn
Submitted by Justin Minsker on Mon, 06/29/2020 - 3:31pm
By Kathy Lathen Educator/Interpreter Sam Rayburn House State Historic Site
Born: January 22, 1891 in Flag Springs, Texas
Died: July 22, 1914 of typhoid fever in Bonham, Texas
Abner Rayburn was the youngest of William and Martha Rayburn's 11 children. Favored by his big brother, Sam, Abner aspired to work alongside the congressman, but fell ill and died before he could follow his dream.
Abner Love Rayburn was the only true Texan of William and Martha Rayburn's family. He was born January 22, 1891 at the family's Flag Springs home in Fannin County, Texas. When Abner came into the world, his father toiled on the family's 40-acre cotton farm.
After completing chores, Abner's older brother Sam would spend afternoons longing to see travellers along the road. From the 1900 United States Federal Census, Abner and all of his siblings, except one, were at school. By 1910, at the age of 19, Abner was listed as a farm laborer at his father's farm.
At 23 years of age, Abner was a resident of Dallas working in the real estate profession. He worked with his brother-in-law William A. Thomas, Katherine Rayburn's husband, at W.A. Thomas & Company located within the Southwestern Life Insurance Building in downtown Dallas.
From the July 23, 1914 edition of The Bonham Daily Favorite, when he first became ill with typhoid fever, he continued to work for a week before travelling to his parents' home in Bonham to recuperate.
At this time, the family lived on West 11th Street in Bonham. His brother Sam left Washington, D.C. to be with the youngest member of the Rayburn family during this difficult time. To Sam, Abner was his favorite among 10 siblings.
At the time of his death on July 22, 1914, Abner Love Rayburn was aspiring to work alongside his older brother, Congressman Sam Rayburn. The loss of Abner devastated the representative of the 4th Congressional District of Texas.
According the July 24, 1914 edition of The Bonham Daily Favorite, Abner's funeral was the afternoon of July 23, 1914 at the family's home in Bonham with final resting place at Willow Wild Cemetery.
Willow Wild Cemetery is located at 1220 West Seventh Street in Bonham and dates back to 1878. In 2012, it was designated a Historic Texas Cemetery. Many prominent citizens of not only Bonham, but the surrounding communities within Fannin County, are interred there.
About the Sam Rayburn House State Historic Site
Step into the warm and welcoming world of one of Texas' best known statesmen, Sam Rayburn. One of the most powerful and influential politicians in the 20th century, Rayburn served in the U.S. Congress for 48 years, holding the position of speaker for 17 years.
His 1916 home, now the Sam Rayburn House State Historic Site in Bonham, preserves his real stories with original furnishings, candid photographs, and personal belongings, remaining as they were when he lived here.
Visitors explore Rayburn's personal life and political achievements and their impact on mid-20th-century history. The home is a National Historic Landmark, a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Dozens killed in airstrikes on fuel market in northern Syria
BEIRUT – Airstrikes on a fuel market in a rebel-held village in northern Syria killed and wounded dozens on Tuesday and destroyed several tanker trucks, two Syrian opposition monitoring groups reported.
The market in the village of Maaret al-Naasan mostly sells diesel fuel brought from areas under the control of the Islamic State group. The airstrikes are likely part of a campaign to target the oil industry that is a major source of income for IS. The extremist group controls nearly half of Syria.
Russian warplanes as well as those of the U.S.-led coalition have destroyed hundreds of tanker trucks that are used to ferry oil from fields under the control of IS in eastern Syria to other parts of the country. The warplanes have also struck oil facilities in the eastern province of Deir el-Zour in recent weeks.
The Local Coordination Committees said Tuesday's airstrikes on Maaret al-Naasan were carried out by Russian warplanes and that they killed and wounded dozens of people.
Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the airstrikes killed and wounded at least 35 people. He said the warplanes were believed to have been Russian.
"This is part of the campaign against Daesh," Abdurrahman said, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group.
Although other insurgent groups in Syria have been fighting against IS, fuel has been flowing from areas controlled by the extremists into rebel-held territory in return for other commodities such as vegetables and fruits.
Demand for diesel has been on the rise in northern Syria to fuel heaters during the winter; the attacks on oil facilities and tanker trucks have sharply increased the price of diesel.
Also Tuesday, Al-Manar TV reported that Hezbollah militants killed IS religious chief Abu Abdullah Amer in the mountainous Qalamoun region that borders Lebanon. The channel, which is run by Hezbollah, said that a Hezbollah fighter detonated a roadside bomb which struck Amer's passing convoy.
Hezbollah is an ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad and has sent thousands of fighters into Syria to back Assad's forces.

Stephen Meeks, Sandra Lea, Fiona McGibbon, John Houston and Carol Hume brought back 10 Gold, 3 Silver and 1 Bronze individual medals, plus a further 2 Golds in the Freestyle and Medley Relays. They also broke 6 Scottish records at the meet.


In-ear monitors have come a long way; from something only million dollar high end tours could support, to a flexible way for up and coming artists hear themselves on any stage. Along the way though, an inexpensive, yet high-quality set seemed to be nearly impossible. Sennheiser's now closed that gap with their IE40 set of In-Ear Monitors.
Out of the box, they appear to follow the form of traditional IEM's, but with a twist. The earbuds themselves are NOT hardwired in like a set of earbuds, but feature a detachable cable. With a reinforced end at the ear connection, the cable feels super robust, and connects to the earpieces with a nice positive response. It's a nice feature usually only found in more expensive IEM's. A selection of foam and rubber ear pieces are included that easily attach and fit just about any seized ear.
With multi driver IEM's, things like phase and balance can sometimes be an issue, affecting the overall sound. Inside each ear piece is a single driver/transducer, which has been tuned to give a full frequency response, making for a very simple yet responsive design.
Making sure of a good seal against the ear is KEY when using any in-ear devices. These delivered quite nicely, with no issues that usually come with IEM's that are at this price point. These aren't a set of hopped up earbuds meant for casual listening. The bass response was fantastic, with a depth that had a maintained definition and more focused top end that wasn't brittle. We threw a few of our standard "DAW tests" at it and it handled things with ease.
Singers know odd things like distortion and overtones can seriously affect their pitch. The IE40's could handle enough headroom our ears could take without any distortion issues arising. A big factor in IEMs is not only getting sound into the ear, but keeping unwanted sounds from leaking in, and even at higher volume levels, the ambient noise was kept at bay. This will be great for stage use, or the home studio. Comfort is always a concern, and having a set of these in for prolonged sessions didn't cause any physical pain or discomfort, nor did we have any ear fatigue issues that usually come with close monitoring.
Overall, they're a pro level set of IEM's that check all the boxes for performance, and won't break the budget. Any performer who has dismissed a set of in-ears as too expensive, should seriously consider a set of these. They'd be a great gateway into the world of in-ear monitoring.

From time to time, an economist produces an argument that radically challenges a prevailing consensus, Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations and Keynes's General Theory being the most famous examples. These challenges arise when it becomes evident that a single school of thought that has dominated economics is unable, from its own resources, to provide answers to pressing problems. This school will itself have started as a challenge to an established orthodoxy, but over time its disciples will have become more and more obsessed with minutiae as they seek to refine their charter documents. Unfortunately, as we have learned from the inability of the neo-Keynesians to address the challenge of inflation in the 1970s and the neo-classical economists to grasp financial risk in the 2000s, the dominance of incomplete theoretical models inflicts heavy costs on those living in the real world.
The Flat White Economy is revolutionary in that it starts from a realist description of the real world – or at least of London, one of the world cities. While its author is a distinguished economist, it is readable and accessible to those who do not have an economics degree; if you can read Wolf Hall, you can read this. It truly is a 'must read' book, not least because the questions of immigration policy that it tackles will be prominent features on the political landscape in the run up to the UK General Election. Its prescriptions provide a benchmark for answers that Parliamentary candidates may give to some of the questions posed by the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales in their recent pastoral letter, and a demonstration of what could be done in response to the Archbishop of Canterbury's demand for work for the labourers in the vineyard set out in his essay in On Rock or Sand? (Incidentally, that collection's failure to address more fully the issue of immigration, one of the major concerns of voters, was a serious defect; chapter 7 of The Flat White Economy fills that gap admirably.)
Of course immigration is not just a question of economics. The Church has rightly warned of the damage that rhetoric on immigration can cause by inspiring hatred and division, which are of course contrary to the central Christian messages. McWilliams recognises the social challenges that immigration presents, and indeed he makes proposals for dealing with some of them. His analysis is, however, primarily economic; but that does not mean it is without significance to those of us who start where Thomas Aquinas starts, namely from an assumption that creation is basically good and is governed by a divine plan. The economic gain that flows from recognising the value of human persons that some would have us despise is, in a Thomist – and indeed Ignatian – framework, entirely proper evidence for those who proclaim the dignity of every human being to cite against bigotry.
On the economic consequences of immigration, McWilliams' verdict is unequivocal, as one might gather from the title of chapter 7: 'Immigration – the UK's secret economic weapon.' He argues that immigration has made a positive contribution to employment, to profitability, to creativity and to the public finances; and without it the London economy – and hence the UK economy – would not have recovered as it has. He goes on to argue that immigration is essential for continued economic progress.
He returns to this topic in his concluding chapter, 'The Future of the Flat White Economy', where he includes a warning not just to UKIP but to all the major parties that their promises to restrict immigration will have a heavy price. The author is open about his avowedly political objective: '[The book] is written in the hope that the voters can at least vote armed with the knowledge of what costs might be incurred if they indulge their more extreme views on immigration…. if the electorate vote for very tight controls on immigration, they are voting for a 6% pay cut by 2023.' (pp. 174- 175)
The Flat White Economy gives an account of the expansion of digital business, a growth sector that is responsible for the recovery of the London economy following the crash and is set to be the largest sector in the UK and other developed economies. McWilliams does not just discuss the economics of digital businesses; he discusses the people who work in them, how they work, where and how they live and on what they spend their money. The title of the book is taken from the name of their preferred coffee, a drink that has replaced Champagne as the symbol of new London.
These digital businesses are currently concentrated the EC1V postcode of London, 'Silicon Roundabout', but McWilliams looks outwards to ask where else they might make an impact, and suggests that in the UK there are real prospects for economic recovery centred on such businesses in some of the great cities. However, there will still be – as there were in the 1930s, as Britain recovered from the Great Depression – areas that do not share in an overall recovery. This is deeply troubling, as was so cogently expressed by the Archbishop of Canterbury in his contribution to On Rock or Sand?
McWilliams, who shares the archbishop's analysis that attempts to date to mend the problem by public sector initiatives have largely failed, flies a kite. Observing that the most able are attracted into the public sector rather than into industry and commerce – which has adverse consequences for growth, especially in the Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) sector – he goes on to suggest that fiscal resources generated by London's spectacular growth could be used at least in part to lower taxes on business in other areas. McWilliams identifies a potential to provide a subsidy of £2,500 per job outside the South (although resources might need to be spread more thinly in order to provide such assistance in some regions of the South itself). 'As someone who is not only an economist but also a successful entrepreneur I can guarantee that a subsidy on this scale would seriously boost entrepreneurship.' (p. 214) This proposal needs to be taken very seriously indeed, and it fits well with the archbishop's conclusions on the need for recovery to be based on local not national initiatives. (On Rock or Sand?, p. 67).
The Flat White Economy renders an important service for anyone who wishes to join a debate on public policy, and it has specific messages for Christians. In explaining where growth is coming from and who is creating it, and how that growth promises to alter our lives in a digitally-based economy, it tells us something about the shape of society, which is highly relevant to the task of evangelisation. It offers suggestions for tackling some aspects of long-term poverty and deprivation.
The book's introductory note on the author does not tell us that Douglas McWilliams was educated at by the Jesuits at Stonyhurst. A central part of Ignatian spirituality is an attention to what is happening in the world based not on abstract theory but direct examination and reflection. One reason for thinking that The Flat White Economy has captured important truths about our economy and our society is that it is so clearly based not on some abstract theorising but on the application of a powerful mind to what is actually going on in the world.
Joe Egerton was a contemporary of Douglas McWilliams at Stonyhurst and later at Oxford. When Douglas McWilliams was Deputy Director of Economics at the CBI in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Joe was Economics Director of the British Chambers of Commerce.
