Q: Fade in an image in javascript not working I'm trying to fade in an image, but it doesn't work. I found this post:
Javascript fade image in and out
And tried the following code, but no luck :(
var anImage= new Image();
anImage.src='images\\anImage.gif'

jQuery(function(){$("anImage").fadeIn()})
anImage.fadeIn()

But I get the "Uncaught TypeError: Object # has no method 'fadeIn'" error.
I must be doing something wrong. But I'm not seeing it :s.
Please help,
Thanks in advance
==================================================================================
My code looks now like this:
var deadImg=      new Image();
deadImg.src='images/dead.gif'
deadImg.id= 'imageID'
deadImg.style.display = 'none'
jQuery('body').append(deadImg);

And I wrote a function, which should draw the image (fade it in on the canvas)
function deadScreen(){
GameOverSound.play();
jQuery('#deadImg.id').fadeIn();
}

But nothing is really happening. Am I doing something wrong?
==================================================================================
EDIT3:
function deadScreen(){
   GameOverSound.play();

   //increase the context.globalAlpha 0% ->100% and draw image
   context.globalAlpha= 0%->100%
   context.drawImage(deadImg,0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height);

  //at the end make sure nothing is transparant!
  context.globalAlpha=1
}

Can I do something like this? I thought using a for loop or something to increase transparancy from full transparant to not transparant. And with each step, redraw the image. Or isn't this a good idea?
============================================================================
Thank you everybody for your help. I solved the problem by increasing the globaltransparancy and redrawing the image. This is without jQuery and inside the canvas.
But still thank you very much to the people who helped me :)

A: Use jQuery all the way
Live Demo
$(function() {
  $("<img/>",{"src":"images/anImage.gif","id":"deadImg"})
    .css({"display":"none"})
    .appendTo("body");
});

function deadScreen(){
  GameOverSound.play();
  $("#deadImg").fadeIn();
}

A: Try this:
var anImage= new Image();
anImage.src='images//anImage.gif' // you need to use this slash "/", not backslash "\"
anImage.id = 'imageID';
anImage.style.display = 'none';
jQuery('body').append(anImage);
jQuery('#imageID').fadeIn();

Demo

A: well for first, the error is triggered because the selector search elements on the DOM.
Look at jQuery.com for better understanding.
second if i may i will provide an algorithm about how to accomplish that.

*

*create new image object.

*create event listener for image to load.

*append the image to the dom.

*animate its opacity.
for further explanation please comment.

@Rikard - Please implement a event listener for image loading, and only then animate it to user.
try this:
function deadScreen(){
GameOverSound.play();
jQuery('#deadImg').fadeIn();
}

Revisiting 'New Moon' Thirteen Years Later (It's Still Bad)
This past weekend, I turned 21-years-old. To celebrate I forced several my closest friends to crowd into my apartment, watch me play Fire Emblem: Three Houses (Golden Deer gang squad up), and sit through the movies that I have spent the past year carefully selecting just for this occasion.
The favorite of the night? Twilight: New Moon.
And what turns thirteen-years-old on September 6th? Twilight: New Moon.
Image via Apple TV App
Time to party, folks.
Now, the movie adaptation of New Moon didn't come out until November of 2009, but I'm not going to reread one of those cinderblock sized Twilight books just for a 'heeheehaha' gag article.
I did my time, and I ain't going back in.
Speaking of my time, it was in middle school. Every November, a new Twilight movie would be released. And, baby, 'obsessed' wouldn't even begin to describe my friends and I.
We had the neon clip-ins from Hot Topic, knee high converse with zippers down the back, and #TeamEdward shirts that were all black with glittery silver font.
I wasn't emo. I was scene. So, obviously, Twilight appealed to me.
Some girls I probably would've gotten along with/Image via Cinelinx
And though it was a phase that took up about four years of my life, it was still a phase. I've seen the first film many times since said phase, college kids today enjoy reliving that vampire laden pre-pubescent nostalgia, but my memories of New Moon had all but faded away.
Until this weekend.
New Moon opens on Bella Swan's 18th birthday. We learn through her Sylvia Plath poem of a nightmare that she is now officially one year older than the age Edward Cullen was when he was turned into a vampire, the age he will remain for the rest of his time on earth.
Technically, Edward is well over one hundred years old, but Bella worries that once her body ages past the point of Edward's he won't be attracted to her anymore. So, she has decided to alter her mortal life state for this guy she met in science class last year, and become a vampire.
Bella and Edward back in the good old days/Image via Twitter
Edward's not into the idea. In fact, (after an incredibly awkward birthday at the Cullen's) Edward dumps Bella's dumb ass HARD.
He claims that his family is moving, because townsfolk are becoming suspicious of the lack of aging going on over in the Cullen house. Which, yeah, they probably would be.
Bella, however, sees through his very fair reasoning. She knows that Edward is just leaving to protect her from the greatest threat to her life. Him.
OOOOOOO deep.
Anyways, Edward leaves Forks and Bella sits in her room alone for, like, five months.
The iconic catatonic state scene/Image via Youtube
Eventually Bella's father, Charlie, begs his daughter to end her melodramatic sobfest and go outside. And when she does, she realizes that she can conjure hallucinations of her lost love if she puts herself in dangerous situations.
So she puts herself in more dangerous situations, of course. One of such activities is cliff diving with her new rebound, Jacob.
However, Alice (Edward's psychic sister) has a vision of Bella falling into the sea, and assumes the worst. She returns to Forks in order to check on Bella, and while the two are catching up Edward calls the Swan's landline only for Jacob to pick up the phone.
Jacob then proceeds to tell Edward that Bella is f–king dead.
So Edward decides to go to Rome during what looks like a giant Handmaid's Tale festival, walk his glittering naked body into the sunlight, revealing his vampire status. This is a crime that in the vampire world is punishable only by death, which is convenient because the vampire police headquarters is stationed right next door.
How anyone on God's green earth is #TeamJacob is beyond me.
The festival that probably isn't a real festival/Image via Italy Guides
Anyways, Bella and Alice fly to Rome via hard-cut, and rent a zippy Italian sports car (when in Rome, amiright ladies?) in order to reach Edward before he can pull a Romeo and off himself in the name of love. Take a shot every time I say 'rome.'
It's also worth noting that in the opening sequence of this film Bella wakes up with a copy of Romeo and Juliet in her bed, and the following scene shows Edward reciting a stanza of the famous Shakespeare play from memory. I just don't want you to think that any of the allusions in New Moon are subtle or nuanced in any way. They aren't. They beat you over the head with any and all references to outside works in order to prove that, yes, Stephanie Meyer has read a book before.
Moving on, Bella is running through this festival trying to save her ex-boyfriend. He's stripping down, about to walk into the sunlight, and a child is watching him do it for whatever reason, when Bella is able to run in a stop him at the very last moment.
Then the rest of the film is plot set up for the next book in the series, and it's all happily ever after or whatever.
What stuck out to me in these final moments of New Moon, are Edward's incredibly pale nipples. I get what they were going for, but Jesus Christ. Edward shirtless looks like when they pulled E.T. out of that river, like a dehydrated used napkin.

In retrospect, it was a choice.

Liam and Miley Broke Up! Here's 6 Books We Can Cry Into
Devastating news broke this weekend: Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus have separated. While the 29-year-old actor spends time with his brother, Thor, in Australia, Miley seems to be having the time of her life as she spends her days with blogger Kaitlynn Carter.
Image Via Metro
Their rocky on-again, off-again relationship seemed to get steady once the two got married, but now it seems they've split up for good. It's a sad day indeed.
"You don't understand what it's like," Liam told Daily Mail Australia when asked about the split. "I don't want to talk about it, mate."
Image Via MSN
Any breakup is bad, it leaves both parties plagued with questions of 'What If', and as we sit on the sidelines we can't help but feel a little sorry for both actors. So while Hemsworth and Cyrus pick up the pieces, here are 6 books we can cry into.
6-Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Image Via Amazon
What might be John Green's magnum opus, The Fault in Our Stars tells a beautiful love story about two young people who, against the odds, find love.
We have precious Hazel Crace Lancaster, a 16-year-old girl with thyroid cancer who falls in love with 17-year-old Augustus Waters, a cancer survivor who seems too good to be true. Is he all he seems to be, or will he breaks this young girl's heart?
Image Via IMDB
The ultimate answer is 'yes' to both questions. August is all he seems to be and his love for Grace and her love for him shows that while life be cruel and give us a bad hand every once and a while, it can also be beautiful.
Want to cry your heart out? Or are you crying too many years already? Don't worry! We have others picks and all you need to do is scroll down.
5-Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
You won't cry tears when reading this novel. Well, you might, but they will be tears of joy. Tears at the hilarious depiction of manners gone overboard, tears at the idea that marriage is all you need, and tears when Elizabeth Bennet finally convinces her father the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness.
Image Via The Imaginative Conservative.org
Elizabeth Bennet marries who she wants to in the end, and he, against the odds loves her back. It's a story about how love finds a way and, if it's not meant to be, it won't happen.
I'm crying already.
Don't like this old book? Is the writing style too strange and foreign to you? Well, our next pick might be far more inclined with your modern tastes.
4-Twilight by Stephanie Meyer
Twilight. Read the first book, get addicted, read the other three. It's a story about a hot and cold romance (like Liam and Miley) that ultimately leads to marriage.
You know what happens next? It's so beautiful, so wonderful…
They stay together and have a beautiful child!
Image Via Dorkly
And you know what happens to Jacob, that wonderful werewolf who was in love with Bella but she wasn't in love with him? It doesn't in tragedy, no, it ends with him imprinted on her child, ultimately proving that even if you breakup with someone you still have a chance to take care of their child and be apart of their life.
Too sentimental? Well….
3-The Shining by Stephen King
Now I know what you're thinking: Why the Shining? Well, if you think the multiple breakups between Liam and Miley are bad, here's a book that says 'it could be worse'.
Now most of you have seen the film adaptation and I'm here to tell you the book is totally different. For one, Jack doesn't go after his family with an ax, he goes after them with roque mallet!
Image Via Varagesale
Totally different.
Also instead of Jack trying to murder his wife and child and ultimately freezing to death, in the book he stops trying to kill his wife and child and instead scarifies himself by going after the ghosts which leads to him being simultaneously burnt and blown up!
Image Via the13thFloor
So if you think Liam and Miley's breakup is the worst thing that could happen, well, we could have frozen/burned to death.
2-The Pisces by Melissa Broder
Image Via Refinery29
This book shows that even after a break-up, things can still be beautiful.
Meet Lucy. She and her boyfriend broke up nine years ago but she's still picking the pieces. Nothing is going well. Tinder is filled with "douche bros" and the sea outside the Los Angeles home where she's dog-sitting only shows her how lost and empty she is.
Image Via RedletterDays.co.uk
But then Lucy becomes entranced by an eerily attractive swimmer named Theo. He is a merman, and things only get weirder from there.
The Pisces is not only swimming with dark humor (standout lines include "As we kissed I imagined eating his tail with garlic butter and "the tail starts below the dick"), it proves that life, like the ocean, continues on and on even after the worst of tides.
1. THE PATH MADE CLEAR BY OPRAH WINFREY
As we cry over this sudden and unexpected breakup, there will come a time when we have to say enough is enough. But we might need some help in admitting that, so maybe we should open up and cry into this inspiring self-help novel by Oprah Winfrey.
Image Via The Guardian
Here, our Book Club Queen details the journey toward making your life both successful and meaningful, no matter how many breakups you or the people you care about go through. With ten easy-to-read chapters, this book helps you get teaches you key lessons for you to create the best course for their life. But that's not all! Filled with Oprah's own personal stories, this book helps to remind you that life might just have more to offer than you know!
Need focus after this heart-shattering break-up? This book is the one for you!

Priests Burn Books, Including 'Harry Potter' for Fear of Witchcraft
Looks like fears over Harry Potter being associated with Satan are still around. According to Sky News priests in northland Poland, known as the SMS From Heaven Foundation, have burned a number of books they consider to be sacrilegious, including Harry Potter books. Evangelical Christians have often spoken out against the Harry Potter series, believing that it promotes witchcraft and the satanic arts.
Religious groups have often attacked the Harry Potter series, with Protestant, Orthodox, and Catholic groups arguing the groups promote witchcraft through its positive depiction through the series. Some groups have even called for the books to be banned outright. Numerous book burnings during J.K. Rowling's beloved series were destroyed, have taken place, so this latest bonfire is nothing new. The books have, however, been banned outright in countries such as the United Arab Emirates, however.
Other works went up in smoke in the SMS From Heaven Foundation's burning, such as one of the Twilight novels by Stephanie Meyer. The works that were burned were posted on the group's official Facebook page.

Mexican Composer Incubation Project
Mexican Repertoire Collection
The expansion and redesign by Snøhetta will better serve student and professional artists in the creation of ambitious multi-disciplinary works and will also increase public accessibility to the arts at the Hop, both physically and virtually.
The Exterior Plaza
The sculpted exterior plaza is designed as an inviting entry into the Hop, encouraging people to gather while also providing space for outdoor performances. Plants native to the Upper Valley sprout throughout the plaza whose grading intuitively articulates a connection to the Hop's new central convening space: The Forum.
With a glass façade, double-height ceilings and a generous grand stair, the Hop is welcoming, orienting core for the Hop that previously did not exist. With its openness and light, the Forum offers a warm and engaging space for people to gather as well as an additional place for performances and arts experiences. The spacious entry also significantly improves wayfinding to other parts of the building.
Recital Hall
This exceptional new space will set the scene for the creation and presentation of musical performances and immersive experiences with up to 130 guests. The hall will feature sculpted wood interior, excellent acoustics, and spectacular views of the Dartmouth Green through double-height ceiling and curved window framing. With state-of-the-art technology, the hall will also support the recording and broadcasting of events and rehearsals to engage a broad range of audiences and collaborators off site.
Performance Lab
We are (literally) raising the roof with the Performance Lab as it is transformed from the existing Alumni Hall. Flexible seating, a sprung floor and the latest in sound, lighting, projection and broadcast technologies will allow for a range of interactions between performers and audiences. The exterior of the Lab will feature sculptural curved, precast concrete cladding that will draw the eye and create a lantern-like effect on the south side of the building at night.
The Hop will finally have a rehearsal space dedicated exclusively to dance. Positioned on the lower level, directly beneath the Recital Hall, and partially below ground level, the space includes 20-foot ceilings and a glass ribbon of windows to draw in the daylight and connect with the exterior plaza. Mirrored walls support the dancers and reflect the light, while enhancing the sense of openness within the space. The Dance Studio is adjoined by a suite of changing rooms to support the growing demand for dance classes.
Spaulding Auditorium
The beloved 900-seat theater will be modernized and outfitted with augmented technology, allowing for the documentation and sharing of artistic process and performances with audiences around the globe. Seating will also be upgraded to improve accessibility.
The Top of the Hop will also receive a vital design refresh, uplifting its function as a social hub.
Design Vision
Our aim is to continue the pioneering energy that the Hop embodied at its founding. As the arts at Dartmouth grow, this design will meet the increasing needs for access and capabilities and provide inspirational environments that reinvigorate creative dialogue. We're lucky to be able to work with a compelling existing building and look forward to breakthroughs in arts expression that open us up to new ideas and to one another.

The Saints' Jonathan Vilma will sit out the season after all, according to an NFL decision Tuesday.
NFL confirms suspensions for 4 in Saints bounty scandal
The National Football League reaffirmed Tuesday that it would suspend four players in connection with the New Orleans Saints' controversial "bounty" program, a month after the league postponed the suspensions after the players appealed.
Suspensions for two of the players - former Saint and current Cleveland Brown Scott Fujita and free agent Anthony Hargrove - have been reduced. But the suspensions for Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma (the rest of the season) and defensive end Will Smith (four games) are unchanged.
The league suspended the four in May, concluding that they had leadership roles in the Saints' pay-for-injury program. But the league postponed the suspensions in September after an appeal, with an appeals panel saying Commissioner Roger Goodell would review the punishment and need to clarify the reasons for the punishments.
The delay allowed Fujita and Smith to play the first few games of this season. Although the other two were eligible to play, Vilma is on the Saints' list of those physically unable to perform, and Hargrove has no team.
"In letters to each player and a memorandum to the clubs, Commissioner Goodell clarified that his decision was based entirely on his finding that the bounty program represented conduct detrimental to the league and professional football," the NFL said Tuesday. "The Saints' bounty program operated over a three-year period and offered incentives to players for plays including 'cart-offs' and 'knock-outs,' which were plays that caused injuries to opponents."
The following are the new punishments:
Vilma: Suspended for the season, as prescribed previously. He will retain the salary he earned while on the physically-unable-to-perform list during the first six weeks of the season.
Smith: Suspended for four games, as prescribed previously.
Hargrove: Suspended for seven games, down from eight. He will be credited with five games served as a free agent, so he will be suspended only two games when he signs with another team.
Fujita: Suspended for one game, down from three.
The NFL said the decision was made after Goodell met with the players: the "first time those players had agreed to speak directly to the NFL to give their side of the story," according to the league.
The players can appeal the new decision. The players' union, the NFLPA, has opposed the punishments.
The NFL has "failed to produce evidence that the players intended to injure anyone, ever," the NFLPA said Tuesday.
"We will review this decision thoroughly and review all options to protect our players' rights with vigilance," the NFLPA said.
The NFL previously suspended Saints coach Sean Payton for the 2012 season while levying an indefinite suspension on former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, who was accused of masterminding the bonus program.

I've been a Saints fan since they came into the league in 1967. I have no problems with the punishments metted out. Football should be a sport, not a contest to injure other players.

How many illegal hits were conducted during the time of the bounty? If the hits were legal, who cares? That's football. Go play tennis.

Like it matters. The Aints are going 3-15 either way.
3-15? In a 16 game season? Captain Obvious is obviously not good with math.

NFL & Roger G, SHOW ME THE PROOF!!!!!!!!!!!! If there is proof then show it and if it shows in fact the Saints were out to knock players out of the game then so be it with the suspensions. Until then, tell me what are you hiding? I am not asking for your tax return or birth certificate, I just want to see actual proof. Until proof is shown, I question your integrity and your motives. Your not setting a very good example for the youngsters Roger.
Saints Lover
Goodell has no proof... but continues to punish the Saints... Vengence will be the Saints... Maybe not this year... but we will get it...Goodell will get what's coming to him.... I find it so strange that Superbowl is in New Orleans and all this bounty crap and suspensions come out the same year... Whatever I ready to put a bounty on Goodell.... Screw you Goodelll... You will be exposed....
I can't wait to see this so called vengence. Are you going to show Goodell what for when the team relocates to LA? Yeah, that'll really show him. 😛
Stayclassy
Ryan and Proof must be wearing the gold colored Saint goggles if you two can't see what hits were illegal (see Brett Favre's High-low talking as a prime example). The team is being penalized with this and in turn is having a bad season (as they should be). Take your lumps and try again next season.
Gladiators?
Sports are quickly becoming nothing more than a "blood fest". Playing for "bounties" is found even at the high school level. It's pretty pathetic. True sportsmanship doesn't exist anymore.
Just another example of why people in louisiana dislike the federal government. They have only made movies about this very subject for 20+ years, and guess what? That's standard high school practice. But leave it to some federal bureaucracy to punish only louisiana for things everyone does.
Tbonz
Uh . . . you know the Commish doesn't work for the federal government, right?
You mean Roger isn't the head of the Goodell Commission and the founder of the FBI?!
RonPaulsAFTERLIFE
I was speaking to Ron Paul in the afterlife.... and his mother and daughters often called Ayn Rand and they
all said exactly the same thing as King Romney- too many bad bets on the Saints. 🙂
Ugly, very ugly.

Is boxing a sport? Football has turned into a battle of the fattest. linemen who run 50 yards and then need oxygen. Males that cannot play a full game so have divided it up into special teams. offensive and defensive teams with quarterbacks that have special rules to prtect their poorly built bodies.
Heck the cheerleaders are more athletic than the players and besides having comely appearances they are probably in far better shape than all but a few running backs.

@ MC:
You must be one of those boys who never made the football team as a kid, so you were forced to play soccer and are still holding that grudge to this day.
Only the jaded & bloodthirsty & childish want football to be a blood sport. A good game, well played is worth watching but deliberate injury is dishonorable. A better message would be to ban the worst for life. That's what happened to Tanya Harding, the figure skater, when she was part of a brutal attack on another rival Olympic figure skater. Will pro football sweep this under the rug until there is a death? Why isn't the player's union on the side of honest , clean playing men?

On this day » 15 Hidden Secrets of the Embankment, 145 years on
15 Hidden Secrets of the Embankment, 145 years on
Victoria Embankment opened 9th may 1874 here are some hidden facts
On the 9th May 1874, the newly completed Victoria Embankment opened to the public, 145 years later we look at some hidden secrets of the stretch of the Thames folks call the Embankment.
This Oil painting illustrates the opening of Victoria Embankment. We link this image from the London Museum website. Why not pop into the museum and have a look?
Victoria Embankment linked canvas picture from the Museum of London website
Hidden Secrets of the Embankment
The Embankment was originally ramshackle of odd buildings, some expensive riverside dwellings, and broad undefined waterfront
They spent £450,000 buying up the property that originally stood to line the Embankment.
They estimated the cost of the Build to stand at £1,260,000, using an approximate measure of inflation, in today's money this could be £140 Million, Seem woefully small, the value of rebuilding that stretch today as a civil engineering project? Any guesses comment below
They built the Embankment in a 3 part section; they gave each section the names Albert, Victoria, and Chelsea. If you are familiar with London's Embankment you would also be familiar with those names, it might be a surprise the project was of such a scale. They planned it as a 3 piece development. Just take a moment to think of the planning, the workforce, the organisation. This was 1800s London. Consider a civil engineering project in recent times i.e. Docklands and then consider taking all the phones away from the workforce, computers, etc. Impressive.
The Victoria Embankment section is 1 and a 1/4 miles long
Christopher Wren even saw on rebuilding the Embankment after the Great Fire of London 1666. The Government did not adopt Christopher Wren's plan so London missed out on a Wren designed Embankment
They dammed the Thames in 2 places to allow for the builders to build the foundations and wall.
Foundations of Portland concrete and granite wall go down 32 1/2 feet below high water mark.
The road is 64 feet wide – now contains a cycle superhighway
Lions fit for kings, stand on the embankment with huge mooring chain hoops
Gotha Bomber dropped a 50kg bomb on the Embankment which exploded on the pavement next to the Sphinx and a passing tram. It killed the Tram driver and 2 passengers. The sphinx today still has the shrapnel damage from that ww1 bomb attack.
They built 2 Gardens as part of the project, which faces the back of Whitehall buildings.
They buried a 19th Century time capsule under Cleopatra's Needle. The contents of this, British Currency, Railway guide, 12 picture portraits, and the bible.
Apparently, the Northern Line platform at Embankment station is the only place on the network where you can hear the original recording of 'Mind the Gap'. The Announcers widow wrote a letter asking if they could play it, to hear his voice again. Comment below if you have recorded this unique recording.
Embankment station has a hidden substation attached to it, why it is there will be in the next dispatches

Tagovailoa had been sacked six times. The rookie quarterback had practiced all week with a foot injury. Was Tagovailoa knocked out of his fourth start in favor or Ryan Fitzpatrick due to injury?
"Tua wasn't injured," Flores said after the game. "We just felt it was the best move at that point in the game. We felt (Fitzpatrick) gave us the best chance to win the game."
Tagovailoa was 11-for-20 for 83 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. But Miami punted six times and scored only 10 points on his eight drives.
Dolphins-Jets wrapup:Takeaways from Miami's 20-3 victory
Will Flores start Fitzpatrick against the Jets next Sunday in New Jersey?
"No changes," Flores said.
Fitzpatrick, asked to provide a "spark," led a comeback. When he entered the game, Miami trailed 20-10. He led a field goal drive. And then he led Miami from its 1-yard line into scoring position with less than two minutes to play.
More:5 Instant Takeaways: Miami Dolphins, Tua Tagovailoa stunned at Denver, 20-13
But a potential game-tying touchdown intended for DeVante Parker was intercepted in the end zone by Broncos safety Justin Simmons.
"I needed to hold the safety," Fitzpatrick said. "If he was a step slower, maybe that ball gets in there and we're having a happy press conference."
Fitzpatrick was 12-for-18 for 117 yards, operating an up-tempo offense.
After the game, Fitzpatrick repeatedly said he is the backup to Tagovailoa.
"It's very clear this is Tua's team," Fitzpatrick said. "Tua is going to continue to get better and grow."
Later, Fitzpatrick added: "There is no controversy. It's his team and he's going to continue to lead the team. We just have to all pull in the right direction."
Tagovailoa had begun his career 3-0, but fell flat under intense pressure dialed up by Broncos coach and defensive play-caller Vic Fangio.
More:Ryan Fitzpatrick replaces Tua Tagovailoa as Dolphins QB
Tagovailoa had an interception overturned by a defensive penalty. In the previous game, he had gotten away with two near-interceptions.
How did Tagovailoa feel about being pulled?
"Whatever is best for the team," he said. "When we were in, we couldn't really get things going. Coach felt it was the best decision to put Fitz in and give us a spark. It's what's best for the team. If we were to win with Fitz in there, the locker room would be a lot different and everyone would be a lot happier. It just sucks to lose."
Tagovailoa said he held the ball too long. He said he needs to understand that a player may appear to be covered when he really isn't.
"I couldn't get the ball in the hands of our playmakers or get in a rhythm," Tagovailoa said.
Tagovailoa was not effective on downfield passes. That's something he'll need to continue to work on. He was also responsible for at least a few of the sacks, which can be deemed "coverage" sacks.
Flores is not worried about the game dragging Tagovailoa down.
"They pressured us," Flores said. "We struggled getting it going. When that's going on, you have to try to do something to create some momentum. That's why we made the switch. But he's healthy. He's a confident kid. He's fine."
So Tagovailoa is slated to lead the Dolphins (6-4) next Sunday in a game at the Jets (0-10) that really is a must-win from a playoff-hunt perspective.
Fitzpatrick has assured Tagovailoa that he must simply continue to learn, and that the rookie road is rarely paved smoothly. Fitzpatrick has also pledged to help Tagovailoa build a catalog of game-playing memory that he can lean on in the future.
"What happened in this game?" Fitzpatrick said. "They were getting pressure up front, so what are some things I can do as a quarterback to combat that? As we go forward, he'll be able to lean on that. I learned those things in 16 years but I want to help him accelerate the learning and make sure he learns it faster than I did."

Bike for Brussels, The Earworm of the Day /
In this week's highlight from the Contagious I/O platform, a public body uses earworms to get a safety message through to cyclists.
Bike for Brussels, a Belgian public body dedicated to encouraging cycling in the city, is using catchy pop songs to promote road safety.
The organisation reminded cyclists not to wear headphones while riding by partnering with local radio station Bruzz to broadcast a daily segment called The Earworm of the Day, which exclusively played unforgettable and repetitive pop songs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze6OgXOK9RM
The idea was that the irritatingly catchy songs would get stuck in the heads of cyclists, negating the need to listen to music through headphones, which can reduce riders' awareness of their surroundings.
To promote the campaign, which was created with Brussels creative agency Mortierbrigade, Bike for Brussels also distributed throughout the city posters with the lyrics of popular earworms, such as Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs and Blue [Da Ba Dee] by Eiffel 65, and published a Spotify playlist containing all the tracks.
Bike for Brussels is an initiative of Bruxelles Mobilité, which is part of the Brussels-Capital Region administration.
Fingers in their ears / People seem hardwired to ignore safety warnings. In a study conducted by Mark Lehto, a professor of industrial engineering at Purdue University in the US, just one out of 54 subjects took heed of a glue bottle warning to use it only in a ventilated room. He concludes: 'If someone's main goal is to complete a task, the benefits he perceives in finishing may outweigh the risks of skipping a safety step. Similarly, if someone's out to have a good time, the benefits he sees in having fun may outweigh the risks he sees…'
In the same vein, there exists a concept called 'habituation' that describes people's habit of paying less attention to certain warnings the more they encounter them.
A different path / Basically, people are less likely to adhere to a warning if it interferes with something they enjoy (or inhibits their performance) and they are more likely to ignore a warning if they've heard it before.
Bike for Brussels' cycle-safety message therefore was likely to have a hard time getting through since it interferes with the riders' enjoyment and is likely something they will have heard a hundred times before.
But The Earworm of the Day engages its target audience with a novel, indirect message. Even if cyclists have been told a thousand times before that it's dangerous to wear headphones, they are almost certain not to expect a message delivered like this. What's more, the campaign attempts to remove a barrier to adopting a safer behaviour by offering an alternative to headphones. Although, admittedly, this is done in tongue-in-cheek fashion.

However using color choice is normally considered acceptable, take care to never create an area with no impressive color, because it causes the space feel unrelated and distorted.
Make a choice of a suitable room and then place the sofas and sectionals in a space that is definitely harmonious size and style to the single sofa bed chairs, that is certainly relevant to the it's requirements. As an illustration, if you want a big sofas and sectionals to be the feature of a room, you then should put it in a zone that is definitely visible from the room's entrance locations also you should never overstuff the item with the home's configuration.
It is really required to make a choice of a style for the single sofa bed chairs. Although you don't actually need to have a unique design, this helps you decide what exactly sofas and sectionals to buy also how varieties of colors and patterns to take.

The Chinese mobile Internet tools company started the year strong. But a coming slowdown in mobile growth has investors rightly worried.
What: Shares of Cheetah Mobile Inc. (ADR) (NYSE:CMCM) were down 21.1% as of 11:00 a.m. EDT Thursday after the company announced solid first-quarter 2016 results, but followed with disappointing guidance.
So what: Quarterly revenue came in at 1,115 million Chinese yaun renminbi (RMB) (or $172.9 million). Excluding the impact of the Kingsoft Japan consolidation, revenue was 1,096 million RMB ($170 million), good for year-over-year growth of 63%. Within that, mobile revenue climbed 110.5% year over year, to 826.6 million RMB, or 74.1% of total revenue. Overseas revenue also more than doubled to 633.6 million RMB, or 56.8% of total revenue.
That translated to 32.6% growth in adjusted net income, to 102.2 million RMB ($15.8 million), and 31.5% growth per American depositary share, to 0.71 RMB ($0.11).
On average, analysts were anticipating lower adjusted earnings of 0.66 RMB per ADS on revenue of 1,090 million RMB.
Now what: For the current quarter, though, Cheetah Mobile anticipates revenue between 975 million RMB ($151 million) and 1,000 million RMB ($155 million), good for year-over-year growth of 10% to 13%. That's significantly below analysts' consensus prediction, which called for growth of 53.2%, to 1,330 million RMB.
"We have begun 2016 on a solid note with revenues coming in at the high end of our guidance," stated Cheetah Mobile CEO Sheng Fu. "But, contrary to our previous expectation of a seasonal rebound, revenues have not grown as anticipated in the early part of the second quarter."
Fu elaborated on three primary reasons for expected weakness in mobile revenue growth, including a decline in eCPMs from some international third-party ad platform partners, slower-than-expected progress expanding Cheetah Mobile's direct sales force, and longer-than-expected time to execute its content product strategy.
Cheetah Mobile CFO Andy Yeung added, "For 2016, we have a very clear strategy to reaccelerate revenue growth. While our content products and direct sales initiatives are beginning to take hold, it will take more time for these initiatives to show meaningful results."
As it stands, Cheetah Mobile undeniably started the year strong. But given its impending slowdown in mobile growth, and with shares still trading at a lofty 60 times trailing 12-month earnings, it's no surprise to see shares plunging today. While it may be tempting to pick up shares given the drop, I'm content watching Cheetah Mobile's progress from the sidelines until we see evidence its mobile revenue initiatives are yielding fruit.


Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Senior Staff Association of the Nigerian Universities (SSANU), said on Wednesday that the state governors are not sincere with N22, 500 being proposed as the new Minimum Wage for workers.
The unions in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, described the N22, 500 being proposed by the governors as `laughable'.
NAN reports that the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) had issued a communique after its meeting claiming that state governors could only pay N22, 500 as the new national minimum wage.
According to Prof. Biodun Ogunyemi, ASUU President, it is a laughable proposal because when you look at it vis-a-vis when N18, 000 was the minimum wage, what has been the value?
`So, if the government increases the income of workers it will translate to improved quality of lives for the Nigerian workers.
"So, if they are saying because Nigerian workers represents five per cent and do not deserved a living wage then they are the most insincere persons on earth, ''he said.
Also, Mr Samson Ugwuoke, SSANU president, also told NAN that the N22, 500 proposed by the Nigerian Governors Forum as minimum wage for workers was unfair.
According to him, the workers are also human being, how can N22, 500 sustain any worker or even with two or four defendants in a month.
Mr Amos Adamu, a civil servant, also told NAN that the state governors were unreasonable.
"Nigerians are really suffering, especially the workers, how much is the salary and how much do we spend on feeding, transportation and among others in a day.
"The cost of everything is very high and the money does not take us anywhere.
"My prayer is that the Federal Government and the state governors should have a rethink, it is not easy," he pleaded.

Swati Kapoor to enter Kundali Bhagya to create chaos in Karan and Preeta's lovestory? | Bollywood Life
Ekta Kapoor's Zee TV show Kundali Bhagya which is a spin-off of the popular show Kumkum Bhagya has been doing very well on the TRP charts and has even been gtting good ratings at the BARC. In fact, it was also rated as the number one Hindi GEC show for three consecutive weeks very recently. The show, which features Dheeraj Dhoopar and Shraddha Arya as Karan and Preeta respectively, is set to complete two years today. And on this occasion, to spice up the storyline, the makers are reportedly all set to introduce a love triangle in the plot between Karan, Preeta and a new character which will be played by actress Swati Kapoor.
If reports by an entertainment news portal are anything to go by, Swati shall essay the role of a new girl, Mahira Garewal, in Dheeraj aka Karan Luthra's life. In case that happens, rest assured, Karan and Preeta's recent rift and romance shall take a new turn. However, there has been no official confirmation about Swati's entry on the show from the channel. But if she really is entering the daily soap, it would be exciting to watch if her introduction makes Karan and Preeta come closer or further grow apart.
Wondering who is Swati Kapoor? Swati is a model and film – TV actress. She has been a part of widely acclaimed television serials like Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, Udaan, Kaleerein amongst others every since her small screen debut in 2010.

The notion of (∞,1)(\infty,1)-sheaf (or ∞-stack or geometric homotopy type) is the analog in (∞,1)-category theory of the notion of sheaf (geometric type?) in ordinary category theory.
See (∞,1)-category of (∞,1)-sheaves for more.
Given an (∞,1)-site CC, let SS be the class of monomorphisms in the (∞,1)-category of (∞,1)-presheaves PSh (∞,1)(C)PSh_{(\infty,1)}(C) that correspond to covering (∞,1)-sieve?s
η:U↪j(c) \eta : U \hookrightarrow j(c)
on objects c∈Cc \in C, where jj is the (∞,1)-Yoneda embedding.
Then an (∞,1)-presheaf A∈PSh (∞,1)(C)A \in PSh_{(\infty,1)}(C) is an (∞,1)(\infty,1)-sheaf if it is an SS-local object. That is, if for all such η\eta the morphism
A(c)≃Psh C(j(c),A)→PSh C(η,,A)PSh(U,A) A(c) \simeq Psh_C(j(c),A) \stackrel{PSh_C(\eta,,A)}{\to} PSh(U,A)
is an equivalence.
This is the analog of the ordinary sheaf condition. The ∞-groupoid PSh C(U,A)PSh_C(U,A) is also called the descent-∞-groupoid of AA relative to the covering encoded by UU.
An (∞\infty,1)-sheaf is also called an ∞-stack with values in ∞-groupoids.
The practice of writing "∞\infty-sheaf" instead of ∞-stack is a rather reasonable one, since a stack is nothing but a 2-sheaf.
Notice however that there is ambiguity in what precisely one may mean by an ∞\infty-stack: it can be an (∞,1)(\infty,1)-sheaf or more specifically a hypercomplete (∞,1)(\infty,1)-sheaf. This is a distinction that only appears in (∞,1)-topos theory, not in (n,1)-topos theory for finite nn.

Day 2 of Shrine Game practices saw some impressive performances by next-level prospects on the field of the Tropicana Dome plus plenty of news off the turf. Here with the latter are the notes from the second day of Shrine Game practice.
- Sutton Smith, the pass rusher extraordinaire from Northern Illinois, is training for the combine just south of here in Naples, Florida. I'm told Smith looks very athletic during training, and in preparation for his next-level future, he's been working out at linebacker and showing a lot of skill in coverage. I would expect Smith to receive a combine invitation and work out in both defensive line and linebacker drills at Lucas Oil Stadium.
- Nick Foles seems to be top of the list for any quarterback-needy team as we head into the offseason. The Eagles' reserve signal caller is coming off a pair of terrific seasons when he came off the bench to fill in for an injured Carson Wentz, leading the Eagles to last year's Super Bowl title and deeper into this year's playoffs than anyone thought possible. But will Foles be an automatic savior for whomever he plays for in 2019? Many including myself are not so sure, and this belief is not meant to demean Foles. Several people tell me Foles was perfect for the role he filled the past two seasons - stepping in during the second half of the year - and may struggle being a 16-game starter. Others, including myself, believe the association, tutelage and partnership with Eagles coach Doug Pederson was priceless for Foles, and there's no guarantee that will continue with another organization. In other words, Doug Pederson and the Eagles organization were vital to Foles' success the past two years.
- Some 2,500 miles west of where Shrine Game practices are taking place, an additional 100 next-level hopefuls have been practicing for scouts at the NFLPA Game. Overall the word from that event has been muted, as I'm told there are only three or four players on the roster who have any chance of making an NFL team. Far and away the top player on hand is Wake Forest guard Phil Haynes, a player many believed should be here at the Shrine Game. Haynes looked impressive in weigh-ins then looked terrific during the initial practice before being sidelined with a groin injury Tuesday. Haynes is projected as a mid-third day selection. Small-school center Nate Trewyn of Wisconsin-Whitewater has also looked impressive, with many feeling he will jump into the late rounds.

The Spirit of Samhain
In honor of the one year anniversary of Anarchy - Strange Tales of Outsiders, I am posting my blog from the Horror Writer's Association's Halloween Haunts 2017. I am including the text here and a link to the HWA site. Below the story is a recap of my books in print.
Passing through the cemetery gates, I felt a strange calm juxtaposing to the hyperactivity of the city streets. The graveyard surpassed my expectations. It was huge — a vast expanse dating back hundreds of years. Autumn made itself known through a change in the air, a crispness, a different light from the overcast sky. This is the season of the witch, leading up to All Hallow's Eve — once known as Samhain from the forgotten rites. All of my life I have been drawn to this time of year. The path underfoot was wide and lined with tombs. Leaves were beginning to change in hues of orange and red.
My mind drifted to the past. When I was a teenager, there was a cemetery where me and my punk friends hung out. Located off a freeway behind a seedy motel, it too was vast and filled with acres of the dead. We used to tell ghost stories, freak ourselves out, and enjoy the Gothic coolness in altered states. In present day, I heard a rustling sound that stole me out of my memories. My heart beat faster as I looked around. No one was in sight. Farther down the path, I saw a high brick wall in the distance and wondered about the urban area behind it.
A train passed with a melancholy horn. Nostalgia and mortality plagued my heart in memory of my mother, now in a grave far away. She died from an incurable brain cancer in 2009 and I still miss her. Another memory comes of a Halloween night when I was barely eighteen. Halloween 4 had opened in theaters the week before and I had ordered an authentic and scary Michael Myers mask from the back of a Fangoria, horror film, magazine. I enlisted my friend, Lee, to play a prank. Dressed in a dark blue mechanic's jumpsuit and the mask, he banged on my mother's door after dark. I was near, around a corner, and saw the blinds move in time to duck.
"Who's there?" Mom asked, like a horror film come to life.
Lee knocked again, louder, and stared.
"David, is that you?" The blinds moved again. "Stop playing around."
Passing trick or treaters avoided the porch and went on to the next house.
Lee knocked even louder.
"Wait… you're not David. Who are you?"
Hearing the terror in her voice caused the hair to stand up on the back of my neck. The moment was awesome.
"I'm calling the police!"
Lee raised a butcher knife from behind his back.
My mother screamed an ear shattering scream.
The blinds snapped back. I went to the door and unlocked it, freaking my mom out more. That was when I realized she had been watching the original Halloween on television by herself when we pulled the prank. Lee and I could not stop laughing. Shaking of the fear, she finally laughed with us too.
The smile left my face with another rustling noise in the cemetery. I stopped.
Was someone watching me?
The wind blew, covering the noise as it crossed the branches above. My heart raced.
Was I going to be attacked by the living or the dead?
I felt alive. The rustling came once more. Turning, I saw something move from one tombstone to the next out of the corner of my eye. I walked back towards the front, trying to remember the way. The rustling was closer the last time. Ready for fight or flight, I look around as a squirrel scampered out of the leaves and climbed up a yellowing tree. Relief washed over me. I had managed to freak myself out, like long ago when I was a kid, in the days before Halloween.
Recap of Year One:
Lot's of milestones last year as I transitioned my back catalogue onto my own imprint, DS, and entered the world of self-publishing.
January 13th, 2017 marked the debut of my horror collection, Anarchy - Strange Tales of Outsiders. A punk compendium of queer fiction and horror filled with taboo breaking tales of the streets, asylums, dark rites, and what lies beyond. Experience The Carny Cage, a prison story, with Dirk, whose life is like the carnival ride The Zipper locked up and spinning out of control. Follow Dean on his journey, Where the Road Roams, to find his brother and piece together the past in a fragmented and cut-up tale. Break taboos with a mysterious hitcher in, The Deadfall, as he takes a ride with a van full of coeds into the wilderness where they descend into terror beyond the limits. Witness the Death Tarp. Daniel goes beyond death to return as his shroud, a panel of the AIDS quilt, in a supernatural tale of disease and revenge. Invoke the Dark with a goth youth and his companions as he opens the gates of hell with dark rites. Discover the secret of Under the Moonbow through intense therapy sessions as Maleki, tattooed with the story of his past, schemes to be free of Ponoko Asylum and the covenant with his captor, Dr. West. All of this and more await you inside Anarchy.
July 26th, 2017 saw the release of Wild Boys - A Peculiar Western Novel. The Old West, a time of high adventure, outlaws, and the way of the gun, is traveled by alternative anti-heroes in this peculiar western. Dusty Calhoun is out for revenge after losing all to violence and fire. He lives for vengeance until he rescues Jake Willowford, a cowboy with a familiar face, and plans to use him to infiltrate the Blakely Gang, or die trying. Jake is separated from Dusty and must find his way back with the help of an outlaw, Frank Ward. On the run from One-Eyed Walker and his posse, they endure the dangers and desires of the wild west. The ride will lead them back or to the end of a rope. Consequences are dealt in a spirit quest in the Badlands. A wayward prostitute, Misty Waters, a randy cowboy, Troy Carter, and a message from a traitor set into motion the final ride of the Wild Boys, leading to a climactic shootout where the trail ends.
September 27th, 2017 was the return to horror with Escape from Dolphin Street. Jason dreams of skateboarding away from his dead-end life in suburbia to find his missing brother. Cutouts from the local newspaper inform him of a gang of misfits and a strange place on the streets where anarchy rules. Jason wishes he could overcome his weakness, stand up to his bullies, and be true to himself. Fighting his insecurities, he realizes his one chance to escape and learn the truth is to cross the line and make contact with Adam, a punk he has a crush on. Jason jumps at the chance to go when his only friends, Kelly and Tanya, decide to runaway to escape an abusive home and an unwanted baby. On the streets, they encounter the vicious gang led by Liev, a pseudo skin adorned with a tear drop tattoo, and consisting of his followers: strange, trench coat wearing Knappy armed with a blue lightning stun gun; butch Hex along with her red haired firebrand, Syd; and a hulking, mute giant simply called Hound. The street punks taunt them with mischief, violence, and animal sounds. Thus begins a sadistic game of sharks and dolphins, of predator and prey, as the runaways are hunted down through the street surf. Amidst the chaos, Jason must choose between the safety of his friends and his desire to find his brother as he is drawn to Adam and the dark world of Dolphin Street, an abandoned area where the punks go. There are no rules on the streets, only a living nightmare leading to an abandoned house and the crawlspace underneath — a horror he may never escape.
December 21st, 2017 marked the last of the first wave with The Trouble with Furries. Daniel is young, confident, and fascinated by the wolf, feeling that the animal is a reflection of himself. After losing his mate, he craves a new Alpha and finds Patrick, a handsome thirty-year old who gets him a job at Club Trade. There, his curiosity is peaked when he meets a sly blond, Chad, donning a red fox tail. The threesome form a pack as Daniel embarks on a journey of self-discovery — one of coming out as a furry, in an underworld where beasts rule. Tracking down a blue wolf fur suit, Daniel has no inhibitions and feels free when wearing it. His hedonistic lifestyle takes its toll and he finds himself more of a lone wolf than a pack animal as he delves deeper into the dark side of furrydom. Ultimately, he must decide his true nature — man or the wolf within.

I see on those mpas above, north of where the Eygpt Cottage used to be, is somewhere called 'Red Barns'. I'm assuming this has soemthing to do with a farm/agriculture use for the area? Or is it named after something else?
Source : St Dominics Parish Newcastle upon Tyne 1873-1973 - A History from the point of view of the Parishioners, complied by Antony Archer O.P.
"Red Barns a fairly large but ugly 18th century house with what had been its gardens lying between Gibson Street and what became Crawhall Road. With the house went a row of terraced houses, Red Barnes Terrace, and various outbuildings.
There was supposed to have been the ghost, that of someone who had committed suicide in the Town in 1817 and was buried during the night at the junction of the three roads, Stepney Lane, Gibson Street and Newbridge Street, the last time this form of burial for suicide was practiced in Newcastle. The ghost of the woman was supposed to have attached itself to Red Barns."
The use of Red Barns as a place/area name seems to be widespread and one site makes the claim that "Hundreds of years ago, farmers would seal their barns with linseed oil mixed with rust, which turned the mixture red." - that however may relate to the USA

I nipped into Local Studies after the match this afternoon and managed to look at Corbridge's map, and it makes no mention of the Egypt Inn or an area called Egypt. The assistant also said there is no record of a pub or area of that name - or even of an Egypt Cottage - anywhere in their index system, which is most bizarre.
I first became interested in the origins of the name when Fred Plater took the pub over in 1986. The brewery had told him it was Newcastle's oldest pub, and I seem to remember verifying this for him at the time. This is why I've been a bit vague about possibly seeing it marked on a map: it was over quarter of a century ago.
As chance would have it, I'm off out for a few beers tonight with the lad who managed it for Fred when it reopened, and lived above it for the first two years. I'll ask him what he remembers.
Meanwhile, I found this mention in my own collection of cuttings, from the Evening Chronicle, December 1997:
As I mentioned earlier in this thread, Brian says in his book 'Heavy Nights' that the pub "certainly" existed as the Egypt Inn in the early 18th century. The references to grain seem to come from Charleton or, as Steve pointed out earlier, McKenzie - which now seems to be the original source. Excellent work Steve.
I have also found some notes I made back in '86, but they don't shed much light on the matter: "The pub as rebuilt in 1873 for Susannah Gibson, a wealthy local land-owner, well known for her generosity to local charities and the religious body with which she was connected. She was particularly concerned about victims of 'vice and sensuality', and left cash for the Newcastle Asylum for Female Penitents, and the Worn-out Wesleyan Ministers' Fund". I believe that nearby Gibson Street was named in her honour.
I'm now quite determined to get to the bottom of why the area was known as 'Egypt', and will head off to the Tyne & Wear archives tomorrow if I can find the time.
Funny how one thing leads to another - a search for Susanne Gibson brought me to the Biscuit Factory web site which mentions this in their time line @ http://www.thebiscuitfactory.com/history/
1857 Indentured to Mr George Tallentire Gibson for £10,800 by Sir M W Ridley Baronet as part of what is called The Red Barns Estate.
1860 Work on the building which exists today is started.
1865 George Gibson dies and the site becomes the property of his widow, Susanna.
1870 This is the first record of The Tyne Biscuit Factory when Susanna Gibson takes out a mortgage of £3000.
1879 Susanna Gibson sells The Biscuit Factory to Mr Thomas Squire and his son for the sum of £4230.
Also this mention on the Tyne and Wear Archives Catalogue:

The former Tyne Tees Television Studios are in the process of being demolished. In advance of this clearance, Alan Williams Archaeology recorded the Egypt Cottage public house.
John Wood's town plan of 1827 shows this general area as 'Egypt'. The name may have come from the granaries on the north side of the 'New Road', which were likened to the grain warehouses of the pharaohs described in the Bible. The original Egypt Cottage public house is shown on the plan at the end of a row of cottages with transverse blocks to the rear.
Thomas Oliver's town plan of 1830 shows the Egypt Cottage as a detached building with two porches or projecting windows.
John Bell was the landlord. By the 1860s there were warehouses to the rear which were associated with a timber yard.
The second edition Ordnance Survey shows further constructions including Egypt House and a Wesleyan Mission Chapel. It was demolished in 1873 and the present pub of the same name was built by a Susanna Gibson.
The pub was sold to McEwan's in 1925, passed to Scottish & Newcastle Brewery and is now a free house.
The new Egypt Cottage was brick, apart from some sandstone walls in the cellar and the building was skewed to take in the curve of City Road. On the ground floor there was a bar, bar parlour, tap room and a kitchen. The first floor was accommodation and a long club room. The first floor had six sash windows with stone lintels and sills and a slate roof. The ground floor elevation was ornate with panelling and windows and three doors.
There were major adaptations in 1937 by WM and TR Milburn of Sunderland. The surviving façade is much as altered in the 1930s. Ornate corbels have been added between the two floors. Inside the alterations have been more radical. A large portion of the first floor has been removed above the main bar and the staircase has been altered. The bar is decorated in a style which harks back to the Art Deco period and features Egyptian art which was popular following the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922. The marble topped bar and tall shelving to the rear are quite grand. In the 1950s the surrounding site was developed for Tyne Tees Television. The Egypt Cottage, as the local public house, became known as 'studio five' (there were only four Tyne Tees studios). Tyne and Wear Museums have produced an assessment of
the Tyne Tees Studios site.

Am off out now, but just quickly wanted to say thanks for that Steve - great stuff. Thanks also to NH for the maps as well.
According to the below links on our 'Index Thread', the discussion as to which is the oldest pub in Newcastle, is still ongoing . . .

Is it possible that the grain for the temporary silo's was imported form Baltic traders or am I just stating the bleeding obvious?
growly grace said:
Yes that's my understanding - grain imported from the Baltic and ships returning with coal as ballast. Grain wasn't only for Newcastle's consumption but was re-exported to various ports around Britain.
School Strike - by kids in the 1980s.
Not sure where is the right place to post this, but here goes.
Who remembers a really wierd thing that happened in Newcastle round the early to mid 1980s - My guess from memory will be 1984/85.
It was a mass school strike.
I was at Gosforth High at the time and remember it all starting with (My memory is hazy) perhaps some Socialist Worker type seller hanging round the school. It was the first time I ever experienced anything happen en masse.
Rumours spread round the school in the morning that there would be a strike. Was it in support of the miners? One suggestion that it was actually in support of teachers who were running work-to-rule protests at the time.
From the start of the school day - so that would be 845 - to lunctime it all brewed up. By 12 there was a decent crowd at the school gates. A teacher's car got damaged by a fat kid who plonked himself on the bonnet. Tens turned into scores, then hundreds. I watched it all from inside school. I happened to be in though we were all normally locked out at lunch, I was doing some project or other with a couple of other kids. We watched amazed. I remember going into an office and calling Tyne Tees News who pitched up with a logo'd up Granada Estate which made matters worse. Senior teachers were out and having no effect. Eventually the word went out that there would be no action taken if everyone came back in. Few did, and for us left in school we were more or less told by the teachers to please ourselves so we buggered off down to Carricks on the High Street with the rest of the mob.
This though was not an isolated incident. It happened at schools across Newcastle that day.
Now my memory is quite hazy but I recal some schoolgirl (Perhaps from Rutherford?) who acted as a spokesman for all this. It got as high as the civic centre and TV cameras filmed her telling the crowd about negotiations they had had. It got on national news. I recall some of her words something like "Reet now there will be no expels if wu get back to school."
So, what was it all about? Who remembers it? Did anyone take part? Remember this was mass action way before mass communication. No mobiles, no smartphones, no Twitter, Facebook, no internet.
Who was behind it? Commies/socialist workers? Students? The NF - they were quite active at the time with their stickers? Was it just mischief? People power?
I haven't been able to visit the Tyne & Wear archives today, but I've set aside some time to do this tomorrow.
Meanwhile, here's a thought: it's possible the area we're discussing isn't the only part of Newcastle's riverside with an Egypt connection in its title. Just a mile or so further downstream, St Anthony's appears to be named after its church of St Anthony of Egypt.
#2,109 • Feb 6, 2012 (Edited)
Just in the library.Al' your presence was noted yesterday . I asked to you have a map of.... to which cam the reply 'are you looking into the Egypt Cottage ?'
Anyway; I knew I was a fool to rely on the Chronic'
Historic pub The Egypt Cottage goes down the tubes
Aug 9 2009 by Coreena Ford, Sunday Sun
The pub with a famous history
On New Year's Day 1832 the Egypt Cottage was seriously damaged by a fire which broke out in the early hours after the landlord had closed up and left to celebrate elsewhere.
A large crowd of revellers gathered and watched the fire brigade take over an hour to control the blaze.
It's thought the fire was started by burglars . . . when the landlord was later let back into his pub he was alarmed to discover that £23 he had earlier hidden in a settee had disappeared.
The pub wasn't rebuilt until 1873, when it was sold to McEwan's for £6250 in 1925, passed to Scottish and Newcastle and is now a free house.
Coreena's excellent journalism above is lifted verbatim from Bennison, with the small, though significant typo that Bennsion gives the fire as 1932. Good old Chronic'......well done that girl .
OK...Egypt and all that. This is a bit photo heavy - sorry. Trade directories first; Parson of 1828 has no reference to the Cottage, but it does appear in Pigot of 1834.
Red Barns:
Bourne [you can also see on NH's uncropped photo] has it at the top/north of the unbuilt area. It s in the same place in Thompson of 1746
As does Oliver of 1831:
So there's still nothing on the 'pub' before around 1830. Though the maps are not reliable the earliest it can have been on the Tyne Tees site is 1776 when the street was laid out.
Now to Egypt. This is Charleton 'Streets of Newcastle' [1885-6 -which seems to be columns from the Chronic']. Too much for me to re type:
Unfortunately.... he doesn't tell us who the other writer is....however as these are columns from the paper I wonder if the other writer might be a correspondent - in the sense of a reader. The quote makes sense in that context.
However he does refer to Egypt Cottages....
One other Egypt thought.... the whole area was dotted with ropeworks, the main constituent of which was of course hemp [was Egypt a producer?]
In conclusion... I wonder if I/we are missing something on the EC. I can't find anything to support anything there before 1776, but Al - neither you nor Bennision are likely to have plucked early c18 out of the air - your 1734 is too specific to not be 'tied' to something.
Percy Trimmer
Modern Antiquarian
I wonder if 'Egypt' originally simply referred to the temporary character or appearance of the site or its occupants. The English word 'Gypsy' comes for 'Egypt' so there might be a link there - not that there had to be gypsies living there, only that the area had the appearance of something marginal or unsettled.
Marvellous stuff NP.
To be honest, I'm not surprised they remember my visit yesterday; I was rather exasperated that they claimed to have no record of any references to Egypt or the Egypt Cottage in their index of cuttings files or books. Fortunately you seem to have been able to find what you wanted. I only had a few minutes before they closed, and just managed to have a look at the maps you've posted above.
The Charleton stuff is particularly interesting. As you say, it's a shame we'll never know who he was quoting, but the person seems to have had first-hand knowledge of the buildings and is dismissive of the corn theory. I think the key to this lies with the "low flat buildings" he mentions and which seem to feature on maps, and appear to predate the "row of elegant houses" known as the Egypt Cottages.
My own speculation is that the area was named after these low buildings, or perhaps even something that stood there previously. If there was an inn there – which we haven't been able to establish yet, but its absence from the maps is not encouraging – then it would have stood on a route used by pilgrims heading towards Tynemouth, and its shrines to St. Oswin and St. Henry of Coquet.
It was not unusual for inns to be given biblical names in mediaeval times, particularly those on the routes used by pilgrims. 'Egypt' certainly features in the bible, and Tynemouth was a popular destination for pilgrims in mediaeval times.
If only we could find a reference to an inn.

I thought that but FWIW Charleton specifically excludes it.
There are also Egypts in

The dating also ties [roughly anyway] to the battle of the Nile in 1798.
Gibson Stret, Newcastle upon Tyne - picture 06/02/12
With all the recent discussion about Gibson Street and being in the area this afternoon, took this photograph ( hosted on Photobucket) looking north from point just north of junction with City Road
Regarding the last incarnation of the Egypt cottage, would I be correct in assuming it was built as part of the old tyne tees building .
I had always assumed it was a separate building, but when tyne tees came down it looked to be part of it.
It was only about 50 yards from my front door but a rarely went in,over priced and poor atmosphere, still resting on its laurels from the tube days.
I agree. I suspect its most likely the buildings which are the origin, but [and this is probably] co incidence, Egypt seems to appear at roughly the time of the Battle of the Nile, Nelson beating that nasty Frenchie .
What's odd is that the whole surrounding area seems to have been positively splattered with Inns, yet there's this odd hole in the middle of the doughnut with nothing it it. Could there have been a 'speak-easy' not necessarily recorded. I have in mind an unlicenced gin shop type.

More the other way round; TTTV tacked onto the side and wrapping round it. Clearest in the aerial pic.
There certainly was once a fashion for giving places names with Napoleonic references. There are several Nelsons in the UK: we have one in the north east, as well as a Blucher.
But after a quick search of Google Maps on my phone, I can only find one instance of Egypt, and that appears to be a field in Hampshire.
http://www.gazetteer.co.uk/
I got:
Egypt SE0933 Yorkshire, West Riding Bradford W York York&H
Egypt SU4476 Berkshire W Berks Tham V S East
Egypt SU4640 Hampshire Hants Win'ster Hants S East
Egypt SU9685 Buckinghamshire Bucks S Bucks
In the interest of thoroughness, I took a quick look on Google for the origins of their names.
According to Wikipedia, the Egypt in Buckinghamshire got its name from some gypsies who'd lived there. The one in Berkshire is a row of houses that is known as Egypt because they stand on Alexandria Road.
The Yorkshire one has a number of biblically-named hamlets nearby, such as Jerusalem and Jericho.
I got a slightly different reference for yorkshire:
well 'ish as a possibility anyway
Kendall & Wroot suggest that it commemorates the invasion of Egypt by Napoleon in 1798
But you re probably right, no connection to the matter at hand...
I've been to the Tyne & Wear archives today to have a root about, and I still find can't anything conclusive. Among the maps I looked at, J. Roper's from 1808 shows an area called 'New Egpyt', while on John Wood's 1827 map it's known simply as 'Egypt'. The Directory of Newcastle, by M.A.Richardson, from 1838, lists an "Egypt Cottage, John Bell, New Road". I think this is the earliest positive dating of the pub so far.
I also looked at the plans for the 1873 rebuild. I was asked for a five-quid fee to use my own camera and photograph it, but I declined this so I'll describe it instead. There was a horseshoe-shaped building behind it at the time, marked as "Egypt Court". Part of this was also marked as a "cooperage". I also found some plans for the conversion of this cooperage dated 1869, and on these the existing horseshoe building to the rear of the pub is called "Egypt Square". The Egypt Cottage is also marked on these plans.
So, to summarise so far: The 1736 map posted by NH shows neither an inn nor an area called 'Egpyt'.
The 1802 map shows a cluster of buildings and the area is marked as "Egypt". These buildings have gone on the 1808 map, but reappear as a different shape on the 1827 map. They are also there on Oliver's map of 1831, and the area is again marked as 'Egypt'.
The pub is first listed in a directory from 1838 as the Egypt Cottage – which would stillmake it a contender for Newcastle's oldest pub, but I think the Duke of Wellington pips it. It's listed in a directory from 1822, when a Mary Ann Johnson held the license.
The rebuilding plans from 1873 show an Egypt Court/Square behind the pub.
So there's still no sign of the "Egypt Inn" that Brian Bennison says was certainly there in the early eighteenth century. But more annoyingly, I can't recall how I verified this, twenty-five years ago. It doesn't help that the Central Library no longer have any references in their index system to either the pub or the area. But I used to have a 'Northumbria Room' ticket back then, so it's likely I had a good rummage around behind the scenes myself, as Brian would have been able to do. Sadly, you can't do this any more.
I've run out of ideas, and may have to concede that on the evidence in front of me, the pub dates from around 1838. This still doesn't explain how it or the area got its name, the waters having been muddied by NP's discovery of a source that disputes Charleton's claim that it was named after some temporary granaries built in 1796.

Damaging wind, hail possible as part of Severe Thunderstorm Watch in MN, WI Monday
