Dans le domaine des engrais chimiques, un engrais à diffusion lente (ou retardée) est un type d'engrais qui se présente sous la forme de granulés ou d'enrobés qui vont plus ou moins lentement se solubiliser dans le sol et l'eau en larguant peu à peu l'engrais qu'ils contiennent. Ils peuvent être utilisés dans tous les types de culture, y compris en arboriculture.

Ils compensent le manque de fumure organique équilibrée.

Pour les plantes en pots ou plantes d'intérieur, on les mélange habituellement au substrat lors du rempotage.

Principes
Ce type d'engrais diffuse les éléments fertilisants progressivement pour permettre aux végétaux de les utiliser de manière plus constante, et éviter que les nitrates très solubles dans l'eau ne soient trop rapidement perdus ou qu'ils aient des effets secondaires (fragilisation de la plante par engorgement d'eau favorisant la verse chez les graminées et une vulnérabilité à certaines maladies de manière générale).

Ces produits sont utiles pour une meilleure gestion de la fertilisation des végétaux qui demande une nourriture soutenue dans le temps, et dans les zones vulnérables à l'eutrophisation ou que l'on veut déseutrophiser.

Leur principale différence réside dans la forme chimique de l'azote qu'ils contiennent.
Seul l'azote sous formes nitrique et ammoniacale est directement assimilable par les végétaux (ions nitrate et ammonium), toutefois ces formes d'azote sont peu retenues par le sol d'où des pertes par ruissellement de l'eau qui provoquent la pollution des cours d'eau et de la nappe phréatique.

Les engrais à diffusion lente ou retardée contiennent de l'azote sous une forme moléculaire plus complexe que la forme nitrique ou ammoniacale simple.
Leur dégradation est plus longue car soumise à la fragmentation de la molécule par des agents extérieurs tels que l'eau, la température, les micro-organismes. Cette diffusion lente permet aux plantes de capter l'azote au fur et à mesure de leurs besoins et limite les risques de pollution azotée.

Formulations
Les produits les plus courants sont :
  urée formaldéhyde/isobutilène diurée/urée enrobée de soufre
  urée/nutralène
et ont des variantes les unes par rapport aux autres.

Différences entre diffusion lente et retardée
 Il existe des engrais à diffusion lente sous forme encapsulée, souvent dits engrais retard. Leur composition est identique à celle des engrais chimiques classiques mais ils se présentent sous forme de petites billes recouvertes d'une membrane plastifiée (résine (constituant) synthétique) semi-perméable qui permet un relargage contrôlé des composants.
Selon la composition de la membrane, on peut choisir un relargage continu dans le temps ou bien fonction de la température du sol par exemple.  En se distendant avec la chaleur, elle libère plus d'azote quand il fait chaud, plus lentement si la quantité de résine d'enrobage était plus épaisse (largage sur 2 à 24 mois possible, pour différents usage allant du maïs aux plantations pérennes.
La diffusion de l'engrais sera presque nulle par temps froid, alors que la plante en a peu besoin... Mais elle sera au contraire maximale par temps chaud, quand le potentiel d'absorption par les plantes sera également maximal (si l'eau ne manque pas).

 les vrais "engrais retards" contiennent un retardateur de nitrification qui les rendent pleinement efficaces six à dix semaines après épandage. A la plantation, on amène donc aussi une fertilisation «starter» (engrais classique, ou un peu d'engrais enrobé) et un engrais retard.

L'utilisation d'enrobés limite le risque de perte d'azote par lessivage en début de cycle. L'engrais retard améliorant le rendement à long terme (pour le melon par exemple).

Avantages
Pour les agriculteurs, jardiniers ou gérants de golf qui utilisent des engrais chimiques, l'engrais retard permet de ne faire qu'un seul passage (épandage) au lieu de deux ou plus dans la saison.

Comme moins de nitrates sont perdus vers la nappe ou les eaux de ruissellement, à dose égale, même si les engrais retard sont plus coûteux, ils peuvent être économiquement intéressants (gain de rendement de plusieurs quintaux par hectare à dose égale, ou même rendement avec moins d'apport.

De plus, l'apport azoté étant découplé de l'irrigation, il permet d'assurer une continuité dans la nutrition (Les bilans azotés restent utiles, de même que d'autres sources d'azote, via les légumineuses par exemple).

Inconvénients
L'engrais à diffusion lente aurait un défaut à long terme en modifiant la texture du sol, et sa rétention en eau. Le sol tend à devenir imperméable et le fond reste toujours sec. Même après de grosses pluies ou un orage, seule la surface est humide. La plante dégénère ou arrête sa croissance. Cela est très perceptible avec les rosiers : les roses avortent, le rosier devient chétif et les racines ne se développent pas.

Aspects environnementaux
Le fait que l'azote soit moins rapidement libéré ne signifie pas que ces produits sont sans danger pour l'environnement ; s'ils ont le mérite de limiter les risques pour ce qui est de la pollution par les nitrates, un excès de ce type d'engrais sera toujours source d'eutrophisation, mais elle sera retardée et éventuellement durera plus longtemps.

Les engrais retard enrobés laissent dans le sol leur enrobage de résine dont les impacts sur les vers de terre ou la microfaune du sol à long terme semblent peu documentés.

Parmi les alternative, le bois raméal fragmenté présente certaines similitudes, avec une contribution azotée relarguée tardivement

Long-Term Survival Worse for Black Survivors of In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Submitted by SCAFoundation on Mon, 07/09/2018 - 2:54pm
Study Highlights:
Blacks who survived cardiac arrest while hospitalized have more than 10 percent lower rate of long-term survival after discharge than white survivors.
This translates to lower one-year and five-year survival rates after discharge for black versus white survivors.
Nearly a third of the racial difference in one-year survival depended on measured patient factors; only a small portion was explained by racial difference in hospital care; and almost half was linked to care following discharge and or unmeasured factors.
Another study found several common practices in facilities with the highest overall in-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates including holding in-depth mock drills, focusing on communication and leadership during codes and leveraging a response team with diverse disciplines.
DALLAS, TX-- Blacks who survive cardiac arrest during hospitalization have lower odds of long-term survival compared with similar white survivors, according to new research in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation.
Half the difference in 1-year survival rates, however, remained unexplained. Nearly one-third of the racial difference in one-year survival was dependent on measured patient factors. Only a small proportion was explained by racial differences in hospital care and approximately one-half was due to differences in care after discharge.
Researchers studied patients 65 and older who suffered in-hospital cardiac arrest and survived until discharge between 2000-2011. Survivors from the Get With The Guidelines – Resuscitation registry whose data could be linked to Medicare claims were either black or white. Their survival was studied at 1-year, 3-year and 5-year intervals.
"Compared with white patients, blacks had substantially lower 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates with 28 percent lower relative likelihood of surviving one year and a 33 percent lower relative likelihood of surviving to five years," said the study's lead author Lena Chen, M.D., M.S., assistant professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
The black patients in this study were younger, more often female, and were sicker, with higher rates of kidney and respiratory insufficiency, pneumonia, and more often required dialysis prior to cardiac arrest, compared to white patients studied.
"Notably, black patients were less likely to have had a heart attack during hospital admission or a prior history of heart attack. As a result, they were more likely to have a non-shockable initial heart rhythm of pulseless electrical activity and to have experienced their heart stoppage in an unmonitored hospital unit," Chen said.
The study did not look into how caregivers may have been different for black patients versus white ones, nor did it look at socioeconomic factors like household income or social support.
"Our study's findings suggest a need to examine to what degree differences in post-discharge care explain racial differences in long-term survival after heart stoppages," Chen said.
In another study published in this issue of Circulation, researchers from the University of Michigan Medical School and Veterans Affairs in Ann Arbor, interviewed teams responding to in-hospital cardiac arrests in hospitals participating in the Get With The Guidelines – Resuscitation initiative. They wanted to determine if there were commonalities among hospitals with the highest in-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates that could serve as best practices for other hospitals. Researchers found the best performing hospitals were more likely to:
Have team members of diverse disciplines responding to in-hospital cardiac arrests;
Establish clear roles and responsibilities of team members;
Exhibit better communication and leadership during in-hospital cardiac arrests; and
Hold in-depth mock codes.
"These two studies are excellent examples of the valuable findings we garner from our Get With the Guidelines databases, that now have nearly 7 million patient records," said Eric E. Smith, M.D., national chairman of the American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines steering committee and an associate professor of neurology at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, who was not a part of this study. "Using these data, we can learn so much about the care of heart and stroke patients and work with healthcare providers to improve treatment processes, ultimately improving patient outcomes and saving lives."

José E. Limón Inducted into Fellows of the American Folklore Society
José Limón, the Notre Dame Professor of American Literature and Julian Samora Professor of Latino Studies, has been elected to the Fellows of the American Folklore Society in recognition of his outstanding work in the field of folklore studies.
"Professor Limón's inclusion in the society is a wonderful and much deserved honor," says Agustín Fuentes, professor and chair of the Department of Anthropology. "It demonstrates the lasting and powerful impact he has had on the field and beyond."
Established in 1960, the Fellows of the American Folklore Society is an honorary body of folklorists who have made a significant contribution to the discipline. The society sponsors activities to advance folklore studies, including mentoring programs for students, plenary sessions at the annual meeting, and special awards.
"There is a great tradition of eminent folklorists and anthropologists who have been inducted into the Fellows of the American Folklore Society based on their research," Limón says. "Among them are Alan Lomax, Albert B. Lord, Melville Jacobs, and my own distinguished mentor, Américo Paredes.
"I am truly honored and humbled to be in such company."
Limón directs Notre Dame's Institute for Latino Studies and is one of the country's foremost scholars of Latino literature. Although English is his home department, he holds concurrent appointments in the Department of American Studies and the Department of Anthropology.
His academic interests are varied and include cultural studies, Chicano literature, Mexicans in the United States, U.S.-Mexico cultural relations, critical theory, folklore and popular culture, and literature of the U.S. South.
Limón's most recent book, Américo Paredes: Culture and Critique, focuses on the founding figure of Mexican-American studies. In addition, he is the author of three other major books in the field of Latino studies— American Encounters: Greater Mexico, the United States and the Erotics of Culture; Dancing with the Devil: Society and Cultural Poetics in Mexican-American South Texas; and Mexican Ballads, Chicano Poems: History and Influence in Mexican-American Social Poetry—and more than 35 articles.
He is currently working on two book projects, Hispanic Self-Fashioning: The Making of a Mexican-American Middle Class Identity and Neither Friends, Nor Strangers: Mexicans and Anglos in the Literary Making of Texas.

Dixie NF - Cedar City National Forest
U.S. Forest Service (USFS)
Getting There Bristlecone Pine Trail Access The Bristlecone Pine Trail is a short, 0.5 mile roundtrip, hiking trail that is named after the trees that grow along the trail. The Bristlecone Pine tree is considered the oldest living single organism in the world. Some of the trees date back nearly 4,500 years, around the same time the pyramids were being built in Egypt! Bristlecone Pine Trail is accessed from the Bristlecone Pine Trailhead/Parking Area. Bristlecone Pine Trailhead N 37° 34.047' W 112° 50.933' From Cedar City to Bristlecone Pine: Approximately 18 miles The key to these trees surviving to their remarkable age is their ability to survive in adverse growing conditions. Bristlecone Pine trees have the amazing ability to grow during favorable years and almost completely stop all growth during adverse years. Their slow growth makes their wood extremely dense which makes it resistant to insects, rot, and erosion. Many of them contain considerable amounts of dead wood that surround a thin lining of inner bark that sustains the living portion of the tree. From I-15 take Exit 59 for UT-56/200 North. Proceed east on 200 North for 1 mile to the intersection with Main Street. Turn right onto Main Street and head south for 0.2 miles to the intersection with Center Street/University Blvd/UT-14. Turn left onto Center Street/UT-14 and continue southeast on UT-14 for 17 miles to the Bristlecone Pine Trailhead parking area on the south side of the road. 15 143 Brian Head Cedar City Cedar Breaks N.M. 14 143 143 Branches and Needles Trailhead 1 2 3 4 5 Miles Viewing Platform Dixie National Forest Found on the high, barren, wind-swept slopes of the southwestern states, Bristlecone Pine trees can be identified by their location, form, foliage, and cones. These trees are short, bushy, often multi-stemmed and malformed. The needles are deep green and occur in clusters of five. They are 1" to 1 ½" in length and slightly curved. The needles completely surround the twigs and small branches giving them the appearance of a long bushy tail. The cones are 3" to 3 ½" in length and are a deep chocolate brown at maturity. The cone scales are stout, thick, and armed with a long fragile prickle from which the Bristlecone Pine receives its common name. The trail is accessible late spring when the snowpack has melted through the fall. There is a little shade offered along the trail under the trees but many areas are fully exposed to the sun. There is also no water available along the trail. While the elevation helps to keep things moderately cool, prepare for warm temperatures during the summer. Due to the limited range, unique age, scientific and aesthetic value, the U.S. Forest Service has a non-cutting, non-removal policy for the trees. You are encouraged to visit and photograph these extraordinary specimens but please do not climb, carve, or deface the trees. We hope you enjoy your visit to the Dixie National Forest. Please remember to respect your National Forest Lands and Tread Lightly! Trailhead Cedar City Ranger District The trail is a relatively flat easy hike, but be careful on some of the uneven surfaces. The trail offers two branches, diverging shortly out of the parking area and converging before the viewing platform at the end. To see all the trail has to offer take one branch on the way out and the other on the way back. The viewing platform at the end of the trail offers spectacular views of the upper reaches of Zion National Park. 148 0 Bristlecone Pine Trail Bristlecone August 2011 Named for the spectacular Bristlecone Pine trees that grow in the area, this short, 0.5 mile roundtrip, hiking trail is a journey back in time.

Conflicting COVID emails in Utah's Davis District create confusion, anger for parents
By Logan Stefanich, KSL.com | Updated - Jan. 14, 2022 at 5:10 p.m. | Posted - Jan. 14, 2022 at 12:35 p.m.
Some parents expressed confusion and frustration after Woods Cross and Layton high schools sent letters saying students who tested positive for COVID-19 could still attend in-person classes on Friday. (Kristin Murphy, Deseret News)
WOODS CROSS — Identical letters sent to parents of students at Woods Cross and Layton high schools said students who tested positive for COVID-19 would be allowed to return to school as normal on Friday.
The letter, signed by the principals, also said any students who had refused to get tested for the coronavirus as part of the state's Test to Stay program could also return to in-person classes.
Then later Thursday night, parents received another email from Davis School District Superintendent Reid Newey, walking back on the guidelines laid out in the previous letters, saying that students who tested positive or declined to test should instead remain in isolation for five days.
The mixed messages have created anger and confusion for some parents in the district.

Jordan Rosser, a parent of students at South Davis Junior High and Woods Cross High, said he was "flabbergasted" after reading the initial email from Woods Cross High School.
"I was shocked and immediately angry. I had to refrain myself from using bad words in front of my children," Rosser said.
The anger was compounded after one of his children told him that almost 200 students had tested positive for COVID-19 during a Test to Stay event earlier that day.
"When I got the email that said that anybody that tested positive or elected not to take it could come back, I was just furious because we're trying to control this pandemic and that is not how you control it. It's so frustrating," he said.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, Utah Senate President Stuart Adams, House Speaker Brad Wilson and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Sydnee Dickson on Thursday issued a letter that gives schools flexibility on in-person attendance for the next two weeks and also announced the suspension of the Test to Stay programs, noting that the Utah Department of Health needs to "devote its testing resources to congregate care facilities, long-term care facilities, and community testing sites."
The decision to allow COVID-positive students to return to school was a "mistake," Davis School District communication specialist Hailey Higgins told KSL.com Friday.
Newey on Friday issued the following statement: "As Davis School District leaders pivoted to adhere to the new state guidelines, an email was sent to parents of Woods Cross and Layton High students that evening. Stating COVID-positive students had the option to return to class Friday was a mistake. It was quickly corrected by a follow-up message Thursday night.
"Again, students with COVID-19 symptoms or test positive should not return to school or participate in school activities for five days. If symptoms persist, students should stay home until they have not experienced a fever for at least 24 hours. District leaders sincerely apologize as we navigate the rapidly changing landscape caused by the omicron variant."
The initial letters sent to the parents at the two high schools "came from the district office to be shared by the principals," Higgins said.
Even after the second email from the district on Thursday night saying that students who tested positive or elected not to be tested wouldn't be allowed to return to school, Rosser was still frustrated by the inconsistent messaging.
"It's a little too little, too late. If you sent out that first one, they may not see the second one. It just wasn't enough," Rosser added. "Going from, 'you have to quarantine for five days' to 'come back tomorrow' was just confusing and frustrating as ever."
Rosser added that he believes the district could be doing more to prioritize the safety of their students.
"I would like to see mask mandates in the school. The Test to Stay thing was totally fine with me because that meant that they were getting real-time information and sending kids home who shouldn't have been there," Rosser said, adding that he understands why Test to Stay needed to be put on hold with dwindling testing supplies and a lack of health care workers.
State health officials on Thursday announced a record 12,990 new cases of COVID-19, with 3,007 of them among school-aged children.
Friday afternoon, Newey sent an email to parents saying that the Davis School District is preparing for the possibility of moving its schools to remote learning during the next two weeks.
"At this time, the district is continuing to track the daily numbers as reported by the Davis County Health Department of those students who contract the COVID-19 virus," Newey wrote. "If our school gets to a point where it exceeds the threshold established for the size of the student population, you will receive a letter informing you that the school will move to remote learning."
After the district is informed by the health department that the threshold has been met, classes will be held as normal on that day while the school will alert parents that remote learning will start the following day, giving parents and teachers time to prepare for remote learning to "start and continue for the next three to four school days," Newey said.
The district said it was informing families of its plans for the next two weeks as it waits for "additional guidance" from the Utah Legislature, which will be in session beginning on Jan. 18.

Need a little more sunshine to round out this gorgeous day?
This was one of my favorite sessions of 2010. What can I say? The stars aligned; the weather was beautiful and Georgetown is funky and colorful. You may perhaps recognize this family from my public service announcement on How to make a sleepy baby smile or if you follow me on Facebook. It seems like yesterday I was attending her birth.
Haydee was definitely a sleepy bug this afternoon!
I feel so lucky to watch her grow up. She and Lillia are only three weeks apart, and you could not find two more different babies.
I love this moment. Few things are sweeter than little girls with their daddies.
And I'm telling you, their neighborhood is AWESOME! I mean, where else would you find a mural like this in an alley?
Ronnie bundled Haydee up for the walk home and wore her in the Moby Wrap. Personally, I love wearing my girls. It's such a short time when they are small and cuddly, and it makes life so much easier. I can never get enough photos of me wearing my girls. In fact, I have been known to force people to take my picture on occasion.
Haydee went through quite a lot to make it into this world, and I'm so glad she picked Ronnie and Greg to be her parents. Hope you're out enjoying the sun today, little one!
Ohh, that last one: <3!!!


As promised here is the first of the posts talking about some of the issues that I am currently dealing with. Please remember these are simply my writings about my personal experience from my journals if anything in this raises concerns for you please see your dr or a medical professional for help.
I've chosen to start with the easiest two of my symptoms the ones that most of you have heard of and probably already know someone living and dealing with Anxiety or Depression. That person may be you and you are feeling alone, hopefully my sharing will let you know you are not alone and are in fact quite "normal".
Anxiety for me is the most awful feeling my hands sweat, sometimes they shake, my chest tightens, I feel like I can't breathe or catch my breath, my heart feels like it is beating through my chest, sometimes I get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, sometimes I get pain in my chest, sometimes I get all of these things together, and finally I get an overwhelming feeling like I need to flee wherever or whatever it is that is making me feel this way and usually there is absolutely nowhere I can run to so I have to find a way to cope until the feelings pass. The biggest problem with this is that often these feelings just don't pass quickly for me.
It is important to mention that stress and anxious feelings are important in our everyday lives, they help us to meet deadlines or to perform under pressure and most importantly it is a biological response to danger, I am sure you have heard of the fight or flight response. So stress can produce the right hormones in our bodies to help us in dangerous or scary situations so it is possible that you might feel some of these things from time to time but the key difference is that when that situation has passed you return to feeling normal, for me every hour of every day that I am awake (and even sometimes when I dream!) I am living in this heightened state of awareness. The only way I can describe it is if you could imagine your very, very worst fear ever and then times it by 1000 and imagine living with that every day.
For me the feelings come on at anytime and at the moment there is no pattern or obvious trigger. Most things in a day can induce these feelings reading my journals, noise, sensory overload, a knock on the door, leaving the house, being out of control, going to rehab, seeing people, being a passenger in the car, there almost feels some days like there is nothing except hiding in the house that doesn't bring it on but then some days even being at home is hard.
For me it feels crippling, I am trying every day to push through in little ways but it doesn't seem to be easing the feelings at the moment. As you can imagine there are things that need to be done everyday and avoiding these things will only make it harder next time, plus I am part of a family who love me and want to share the exciting things that are happening in their lives with me. However, pushing myself through the necessary means physical and mental exhaustion by the end of the day and even though I am extremely tired I am struggling to sleep. Also, pushing myself through the necessary also means that there is very little energy left for anything else like seeing people, crowds, shops, etc. If there is a situation that we can pre-plan for and have an exit strategy then it is a possibility but overall I am using everything I have to get through day-to-day.
In many ways the anxiety for me is worse at the moment because of my memory issues (that I will write about in another post), to put it into context briefly though for you I have no recall of the last 3-4yrs and fuzzy recall of the last 4-5yrs so if you met me prior to 2011 I will have a good chance of knowing who you are and where you fit, between then and now it's hit and miss. As you can imagine there are many events that have happened, things I've done (good and bad,) and people I've met that I just can't recall and that it is really hard because pretty much everyone else remembers me or the event or they way we know each other. So as you can imagine life and thinking is pretty much hard work.
How can you help, just be there, be you and understand that whilst I might have a smile on my face inside I could be dying. The smile is how I have been coping for a long time now and is really for everyone else, I am learning that this is not healthy for me and it is important to speak up though I really find this hard to do.
* I still like to see people but for now this needs to happen one on one or no more than two and at home, and please understand if I say no it truly is me not you.


Most people have more trouble with pests when the weather warms up. But you may not know what the relationship is between the prevalence of pests, why they infest your homes at certain times, and what you and pest control companies in St. Augustine, FL, can do about it. Here's what you need to know about the impact of weather on pest infestations.
You probably already know that insects are cold-blooded, but what does that mean, exactly? Being cold blooded means that the insect's body temperature adapts to the environment around it. As the weather warms up, so does the insect's blood. As the temperature drops, the insect's temperature drops as well. This means that, depending on the species, the insect either goes dormant until the temperature rises, or the insect actually dies if the temperature reaches freezing.
Insects typically perpetuate their species by laying their eggs in the dirt where they'll be somewhat protected from freezing temperatures. Many of these insects hatch in the spring and are able to survive temperatures as cold as 20 degrees Fahrenheit. However, many of these insects don't become active until temperatures rise to at least 50 degrees. The colder the weather gets, the more difficult it is for the insects to survive and reproduce.
While many species of insects are able to survive the colder temperatures depending on how deep the eggs are buried, some types of insects are unable to survive in the cold weather and migrate instead. That means they migrate once in the fall to reproduce in a warmer climate and then migrate north once the weather warms up in the spring.
If you're wondering what type of winter will make it more likely you'll experience infestations this spring and summer, the answer is: mild winters. While a mild winter may be more enjoyable while you're experiencing warmer temperatures, it also means that fewer insects will be killed off by freezing temperatures, the insects will mature more quickly in warmer weather, and they'll be able to travel further distances. These factors all mean you're more likely to experience an infestation and damage that requires the help of a pest company in St. Augustine.


Save 25% on purchases of 5,000 or more points through May 15, 2019.
It looks like Marriott is offering a discount on points purchases. Have they traditionally done this before? I know I remember seeing it with Starwood but not with Marriott.
I don't know if Marriott had done this before, but this is a lousy deal. 1.25 cents a point with a 25% "bonus" still costs close to 1 cent a point. I struggle to redeem them at more than 0.8 cent value. Unless they sell them at 0.6 cent a point, why bother. IMHO.
Unless they sell them at 0.6 cent a point, why bother.
Because it costs them nothing and somebody will bite. It only takes one to make a profit.
I agree with you that there is only upside for Marriott in this deal, so it is worthwhile for them. I was thinking about why should the potential buyers bother, unless they just need a small top up to make a reservation work.
Just to buy points for no reason is almost always a bad deal. That said, there are plenty of examples of people redeeming for over 1 cent per point here. There are plenty of instances where this can make sense.
The only time I ever bought SPG pts is when they were on sale for half price or $0.0175/pt. So I'll consider buying when Bonbon pts are $0.0058 or less.

I love chili. I love chiles. This is my take at combining a traditional Texas (where I live, and famous for, well, beef) style chili with a bit of Colorado (where I'm from, and famous for green chili) influence. It uses beef and a ton of delicious Hatch Valley chiles. As with anything chili, it can be remixed to your own particular tastes, it's much more an art than it is a science.
Peel and finely chop garlic. Dice the onions. Set aside.
Put the tomatoes and whole chiles on a baking sheet, coat them with olive oil. Cover the tomatoes in 1/2 of the chopped garlic and then broil for until nicely roasted. You'll likely want to pull the garlic and tomatoes a bit before the chiles so they don't burn. The chiles should be pretty crispy so you can pull the skin off easily.
While the chiles and and tomatoes are roasting, brown the beef with one of the onions and drain any excess fat. Use a large pot, we're making a lot of delicious chili here!
Add the spice mix and 2 cups of water to the beef and mix well.
Peel and slice chiles lengthwise and discard seeds (or most of them anyway.) If you need to, throw them in the freezer for a little bit to make the easier to peel. Once this is done, dice them and add them to the beef.
Put the tomatoes in a blender for a bit, you don't want to liquify them, but get them nice and chopped up. Add them to the beef.
Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes. The longer the chili simmers, the better it'll taste.
About 10 minutes before you're ready to serve, add the beans.
If you want a thinner chili, add the dark beer. If not, drink it.
If you want a thicker chili, mix 2 tablespoons of Masa Flour with 1/4 cup of warm water and then stir it into the chili. Repeat if needed.
Add salt and cayenne to taste. This is the fun part.
Serve with any of the following: grated cheese, the rest of the diced onion, some fresh tomato, corn chips and sour cream.
You can use canned chiles if that's easier. The flavor is a bit different, but still good. You'll want 5 of those 4oz cans.
I find chili a bit hard to taste when it's hot, so I'll often mix it up really good, then take a spoonful and let it cool before I taste it.


I have written over twenty books for children and young adults. Most of these are Middle Grade books featuring mermaids, fairies, time travel and superpowers. I also write Early Readers about Poppy the Pirate Dog and Jenny the Pony. And I have written two Young Adult books about teenagers coming of age, falling in love and discovering their identity.
My Emily Windsnap books have been translated into twenty five languages. They have appeared on the New York Times bestsellers list and have currently sold over five million copies worldwide. And they are often found swimming around at the top of the charts for mermaid books. Wooooohooooo! Thank you to all my lovely readers who have helped to make this happen!
I live by the sea and have always loved the ocean. This is partly what inspires me to write about mermaids. I like to look out at views like this and think about where Emily Windsnap might want to go next.
The Emily Windsnap books are in active development as a movie. (Which means someone is HOPING to make a movie. It isn't a done deal yet, but don't worry – I'll shout about it EVERYWHERE if the movie ever happens!) You can find out more about Emily Windsnap here.
I grew up with my brother, sister, Mum and Dad. Here is a photo of me with my brother and sister. I am the one with the cool cowboy hat.
When I was young (from about the age of eight) I loved writing poetry. I decided that I would be a poet when I grew up. My first ever moment of fame came when my poem Jinx's Shop was published in the local newspaper when I was nine. Here it is (click on the image to see a larger version that you can read!).
I am inspired to write my books by anything and everything. Although my Emily Windsnap books are mostly inspired by my love of the sea, they are also inspired by the idea that extra-special magical things might be just around the corner. I LOVE to think that magical things could happen to any one of us.
In short, I am inspired by life, people and the world around me. Here is a video I took a couple of years ago which hopefully demonstrates a bit about why I love the ocean so much and why it inspires me to write about mermaids.
I have worked as a journalist and a teacher and have always loved writing and encouraging others to write. In fact, I have a page on my website all about helping you with your writing. Find out more about my top writing tips.
I am extremely lucky and enormously grateful to live and work by the sea. I love to watch all the changes that take place out there, over the course of a year and sometimes over the course of a day. I made this timelapse video of a day in the life of my local beach. Other than my books, this video is my favourite creative accomplishment.
I am not very good at choosing favourites but I'll try. My favourite animal has to be dogs, in particular either cute little puppies or my own Dalmatian, Poppy.
My favourite book: for children, either The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster or The Adventures of the Wishing Chair by Enid Blyton. For adults, either The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger or The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby.
See, I told you I hate having to choose! I guess I love them all in different ways!
My favourite hobby (after writing, which I still think of sort of as a hobby even though it is also my job) is photography. I take a LOT of photographs and there's almost nothing I like more than sitting on a rock with my camera, a hot flask of tea and a beautiful sunrise emerging over the horizon.
I also enjoy body boarding and surfing (I am not very good at these, and can get a bit scared of big waves, but still love to have a go) and fishing and kayaking and rowing and swimming, and pretty much anything that involves playing in or on or near the sea.

I became inspired admiring my grandfather, an 'avvocato' in the small North Eastern Italian city of Pordenone
As my long-time friend, Oliver Bierhoff (former AC Milan and Germany international and the current director of the German national team) used to say, I'm one of those failed football players who claim they would have had a brilliant career as a professional player, if that knee injury hadn't stopped them. That's me: a frustrated footballer turned lawyer.
After graduating with a thesis in international private law, I began my legal career as a transactional lawyer, helping Italian companies do business all over the world. During these early years, I also took a pioneering step into sports law (fatal attraction), starting by advising Udinese Calcio on the numerous (and successful) international transfers of their players. I soon ended up becoming the advisor to several football clubs, agents and managers and now find myself global head of sports at Withers.
I was lucky enough in my early years to learn my trade, professionally speaking, on matters involving such famous names as Alessandro Del Piero, Gianluca Vialli, Roy Hodgson and Kaká. A kind of Nirvana, if you are passionate about sport.
After many years in the sector, dealing with big names and celebrities from all walks of sport, there is still a special place in my memory for the successful challenge brought against Italian match participation restrictions affecting non-EU players, when, in the summer of 2000, I managed to obtain a full assimilation for Czech Pavel Nedvĕd to the EU players (at that time the Czech Republic was not part of the EU).

WebAssembly and the Future of Frontend Development

JavaScript has been the lingua franca of web browsers and web-based applications for over two decades. No other language even comes close to replacing it. In addition, over the years, JavaScript has improved, and the overall experience for both developers and users has improved as well.
JavaScript makes it easy to build robust web apps with all its modern features. Moreover, its community is one of the largest and most active among all programming languages.
Despite its popularity, it's far from perfect. For instance, JavaScript as a dynamically typed language can be slow, especially for CPU-intensive tasks.
WebAssembly, or Wasm for short, is a new web technology that's growing fast and gaining popularity. It allows you to import compiled bytecode into your application via JavaScript and run it in the browser. It's designed to run alongside normal JavaScript client code and can unlock features that are beneficial for high-performance browser applications, like video editing, image processing, data visualization, virtual reality, and video games.
In this guide, you'll learn about WebAssembly, how it works, and how it may change the web landscape.
What WebAssembly Is and Why You Need It
While JavaScript is an excellent tool for the web, it wasn't really designed to handle large and complex applications.
WebAssembly, in contrast, is a new type of binary code that allows you to develop apps in multiple languages, compile them down to low-level code, and run them in modern web browsers with near-native speed and performance. It's compact to download and efficient to compile and execute.
Wasm was originally created in 2017 to run high-performance browser-based applications without affecting compatibility or security. Currently, Wasm provides significant performance improvements in two main areas. The first is start-up speed, allowing even computing-intensive applications to load quickly. The second is that you'll notice a much smoother application performance while the software is running.
With Wasm, programmers can bring their native C, C++, Rust, or other supported language applications to the web. This enables them to achieve full performance and take advantage of the complete set of capabilities that they have when running natively on Windows or Mac. This is revolutionary because it means that users can now simply go to a web page and start using the app without downloading it, installing it, or running any security risk.
How WebAssembly Works
On December 5, 2019, WebAssembly became the fourth language standard to run natively in browsers, along with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Since then, there's been some confusion about what WebAssembly is, what it can and cannot do, and how to use it.
WebAssembly files come in two different formats. A WASM file, which is executable by WebAssembly's virtual machine and readable by web browsers, and a WAT file, which is in text format and can be read by humans.
To produce a Wasm application that your browser can read and execute requires the following steps:
Write your code in languages like C++, Rust, or Python, or bring the existing code you want to compile into Wasm.
Compile the code and generate a Wasm binary.
Import the Wasm module into JavaScript with the Fetch API.
Write a JavaScript wrapper that instantiates the Wasm module and use it as a normal function.
When you follow these steps, you'll have a web application that is written in another language but can run in your browser.
There are several tools available, like Emscripten or wasm-pack, that can help you build a WebAssembly application by converting your program to Wasm.
It's critical to note that WebAssembly is intended not to replace JavaScript but rather to complement it. It was initially created to be a tool that would work around JavaScript's limitations.
WebAssembly's Benefits
As previously mentioned, one of Wasm's major benefits is that it's suitable for CPU-intensive tasks. Because JavaScript is single-threaded, it only has one call stack and memory heap, and it is not the most optimal option for tasks that require a lot of CPU. WebAssembly is written in lower-level languages like C, C++, or Rust, which means it doesn't require much CPU time to compute.
In addition, WebAssembly is in binary format, which means it requires fewer bytes to download, resulting in a faster start-up time. In contrast, JavaScript is text-based (rather than binary-based), which means it requires a large number of bytes to download and, therefore, requires a longer start-up time.
Another JavaScript limitation is that JavaScript interpretation and just-in-time (JIT) compilation consumes a significant amount of CPU. By using a JIT compiler, parts of the code are removed at run-time and placed in the compiler, where they are then interpreted while the program is running.
This JIT compilation comes at a significant performance cost, as each instruction incurs some computational overhead in order to be converted to an instruction that the virtual machine running the JavaScript understands. In a JIT environment, you have to download the code each time it's loaded, tokenize it at run-time, parse it into an abstract syntax tree, and then execute the code from that tree each time the JavaScript is loaded. This is extremely heavy and causes the code to run slower than natively compiled languages.
WebAssembly generates a binary file that is decoded and compiled to machine code on the web without the need for any further optimization. This makes it superfast, and it consumes less CPU. It can use either JIT or ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation, and compiling language ahead of time means that users can expect faster load times.
Finally, with Wasm, all your legacy code written in various programming languages can be used as is. There is no need to rewrite non-JavaScript libraries, modules, or apps into JavaScript in order for them to work on the web, saving developers hours of unnecessary work.
WebAssembly's Limitations
WebAssembly is a new technology that's constantly improving. As with every new technology, it has limitations that must be resolved moving forward.
For instance, Wasm can't interact with the DOM directly without JavaScript. This limitation prevents users from creating stand-alone applications.
WebAssembly also has some security concerns that attackers can exploit. For example, when a Wasm engine isn't implemented securely, a malicious developer can violate the security properties of the browser and compromise it. It's also possible to compromise a Wasm application itself if it isn't written securely.
In addition, one of WebAssembly's limitations is the lack of integration with garbage collectors. Since the garbage collector is in charge of memory release and allocation, this absence means that developers must manage memory manually, which can result in memory leaks. Of course, web browsers are getting closer to providing support for garbage collection, making WebAssembly easier to use with languages like Java or C#.
What WebAssembly Means for the Future of Frontend Development
It's possible that WebAssembly could play a big role in the future of web development; however, JavaScript is not going away anytime soon. Even if WebAssembly becomes more popular and gains a more significant part of the web development sector, there are so many businesses and so much stuff built with JavaScript that it'll be a long time before anything changes.
Furthermore, as JavaScript continues to improve, it becomes increasingly attractive for frontend and backend development that doesn't involve processing-heavy features. If a project requires advanced performance, Wasm is here to help.
The consensus is that JavaScript, HTML, and CSS should be the default technologies for your web pages. Modern JavaScript engines are fast and optimize your JavaScript code extensively.
Using WebAssembly for simple tasks won't improve the performance of your application; however, you should use it when dealing with CPU-intensive tasks, such as image and video manipulation, or when dealing with applications with complex business logic that expect high performance and require your code to be as efficient as possible.
WebAssembly is an exciting new technology that significantly changes the web development landscape. It's difficult to predict how the change will unfold, but as the technology keeps improving, it's clear that the future of web development is bright.
Wasm offers high performance and the flexibility to build web applications with multiple programming languages other than JavaScript. This doesn't mean that WebAssembly will replace JavaScript anytime soon, as Wasm was created to work alongside JavaScript to improve web performance, and most developers will use both technologies for their projects.
Are you already using Wasm today? We would love to hear about your experience with it.

'It's like Christmas': Grandad wins Audi S4 and £15,000 cash
By Shuiab Khan Reporter and columnist
A golf course greenkeeper from Lancashire has upgraded his wheels after scooping a £50,000 Audi S4 Black Edition plus £15,000
A golf course greenkeeper from Lancashire has won a £50,000 Audi S4 Black Edition and £15,000 in cash.
Ken Fitzgibbon, 62, was in the middle of a shift on the golf course when BOTB's (Best of the Best) Christian Williams turned up to tell him he was this week's Midweek Car Competition winner and the new owner of the brand-new car.
Ken, paid £1.50 for his ticket to enter the competition. He said: "I don't believe it. It was like Christmas when I realised Christian was coming to see me!
"I've been playing ever since the airport days. And time after time people have told me to give up, but I didn't, and now they're all signing up!"
The father-of-three and grandfather-of-six who lives in Skelmersdale, revealed he had never owned a brand-new car before.
The Audi S4 Black Edition he played for has 19-inch alloy wheels, a virtual cockpit and 342bhp under the bonnet.
"It's a huge amount of money," Ken said, in disbelief. "I think it will go towards house improvements and the kids and grandkids. Thank you so much BOTB!"
BOTB presenter Christian Williams said: "I love my job getting to surprise the lucky BOTB winners each week and this week was no different when we got to go to Liverpool to meet Ken. He played for a fantastic prize and I'm super excited for him to get behind the wheel!"
BOTB hands over the keys to two cars each week as well as the lifestyle prize. Other recent winners have bagged a quad bike, a holiday to the Arctic and £15,000 in cash.
BOTB first opened at Heathrow Airport in 1999, with Daveeda Shaheen scooping the first prize. It clocked up its 500th winner in 2019 and many winners continue to play, convinced they have the Midas touch.

Q: Getting data inside data I am trying to get the data out from the following tag.
I have done this.
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(currMsg);
Elements ele = doc.select("p");

This returns
data
 I want data only.
then i tried to traverse an get char by char.
I want to know is there any other way i can get the data
easily.

A: Get the text of an element with Element.text() or Element.ownText().  text() returns all text inside the element, including inside child elements, while ownText() returns text only in that element (not in any child elements).  Element.textNodes() gives you finer-grained control, if you want some but not all of the text.
The textNodes() Javadoc gives a tiny example showing the relationship between the different ways to get text:
For example, with the input HTML:
One Two Three
 Four

with the p element selected:

p.text() = "One Two Three Four"
p.ownText() = "One Three Four"
p.children() = Elements[,
]
p.childNodes() = List<Node>["One ", , " Three ",
, " Four"]
p.textNodes() = List<TextNode>["One ", " Three ", " Four"]

This is covered in the Jsoup Cookbook.  You may find the other sections of the cookbook helpful.

I was always a little intrigued by the Manchester and learned quite a bit about it in the research for the previous Lancaster painting -Lucky Lady.
The Manchester was an underpowered failure which was used for a short while in the bombing campaign. Fortunately it's development lead to the wonderful Lancaster.
The Acrylic painting below eventually went to a pilot who flew that very aircraft. He lived in glsagow and was evidently very pleased to see his old kite brought to life on canvas .
Again a dire photograph but all I have now.
Beautiful position for this aircraft, Neil.
Lovely painting and interesting story.


Congratulations to Hayley and Leena from Suffolk Family Carers for winning our Hamper!
Throughout the Anglia Business Exhibition 2016 we held a Spot-The-Difference competition to win a luxury hamper packed full of goodies.
All of the prizes within the hamper were products that our customers create and sell using our print services where required.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank: Moat House Farms, Butterworth and Sons, and also Watkins Soaps.
Massive congratulations to Hayley and Leena from Suffolk Family Carers. I hope you both enjoy the goodies and a thank you to everyone else who participated but unfortunately there can be only one winner.
Many of the organisations with which I have been associated have established close links with Gipping Press and have soon experienced it as a professional but customer-friendly company that produces high quality print products at competitive prices.
Gipping Press have been very helpful to me, both as Chairman of Stowmarket and District Chamber of Commerce and as a part-time author, in providing high quality advice and competitive services on design and production of a variety printed media, sometimes at very short notice. I appreciate the ease in which we have built good working relationships and their flexibility as requirements for particular pieces of work sometimes change.
Gipping Press provided a great 'one stop shop' when I was setting up, they provided me with the essentials to look like a credible business from day one and I was pleased with the consistent branding across both website and stationery.
I have just received my cards, they are perfect, I can't thank you enough!
I thought the Reports looked very nice and you did an excellent job as usual. Thank you SO much for getting the Reports to me on time, despite the various Bank Holidays this year.
I would just like to thank you and your team, particularly Danny, for assisting us in producing the material used in our business event last night. Your team was very accommodating and for that I thank you. I shall be recommending your company for future printing jobs.
Dr Ted Cockayne rang to say that some of the recipients of his book we mailed out last week have contacted him to congratulate him on an excellent production and he wanted to pass that on to us at GP. He is very pleased with it and will be recommending us to others.
I just wish to add my thanks for the splendid production of both versions of 'The Sailor and His Knots'. I am delighted with them both and send the Guild's thanks to you and your team for efforts beyond the call of duty in their production.
A huge thank you for your help with the Beach Party publicity. As always the design and production work on the flyers and banners was absolutely fantastic.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your organisation for the continued professional and fruitful dealings we have had with Gipping Press. We very much hope the relationship will continue for many years to come.
I have much pleasure in extending my Club's thanks for your production of our Charter Night Menus and Napkins. We were all delighted with the wonderful quality of work and appreciated your generous price.
I am absolutely delighted with the service you provided.
Thank you all for your advice and guidance before this season started to enable Dave and I to get the IVRFC programme launched. We are so pleased to be working with a very helpful and professional company.
The menus have arrived today and we are thrilled with them, so thank you very much.
I always recommend Gipping Press for any printing requirements! You guys do a good job and never complain when an awkward customer walks in!
I have received the order today and wanted to thank you for a speedy turn around on this order. We are very pleased with the goods.
Many thanks for completing my last minute order for business cards. I am most impressed and very grateful. Richard couldn't believe it when he got home and saw them.
Thank you for all your help and patience, culminating in an excellent Church Guide for St Nicholas, Rattlesden. We are so pleased with the result. I am sure it will be used and appreciated by many visitors to our beautiful church.
I have appreciated the excellent technical advice and service that Gipping Press has provided over the many years that you have printed the English Arts Chorale's publicity material and concert programmes.
I would just like to say how grateful I am to you and your team for printing my book for me. As you will have gathered from our first meeting I had never attempted anything like it before so therefore was quite "green". I very much appreciate your help and guidance with the design of the book and for your tolerance when I kept making changes. I am very pleased with the way the book looks. At the start I had never thought it would look so nice as it does. Thank you very much.
A huge thank you for the wonderful production of the book 'Dear Grandpa' which I have written and illustrated and which was commissioned by the Cathedral.
This was a 'first' for me and I am so delighted with the care you have taken.
As secretary of The Yorkshire Terrier Club may I say thank you for the excellent copy of the year book you produce for our club. The comments received from our members at Crufts were very encouraging so thank you once again for your excellent work.

What do you guys make of this? Could these boys bromance have taken on new heights? Or is this the tandem that will come back on the roster for the Raps when the next season is locked out and we start back after? Or could this be a joke?

Isn't there some rule against players that are currently signed to a team playing overseas? The only way I think DeRozan can is if he joins that Chinese exhibition thing that Kobe was planning on doing.
Mack North
Maybe they just got matching tattoos? I don't see DeMar playing there, maybe just vacationing to get his boy Sonny settled in. But ay, whadoiknow?
ceez
Deron signed on overseas, why can't DeMar? There's just (almost) always a opt out if the lockout ends

It's a bit complicated under the circumstances of a lockout. Stern has publicly said that he doesn't care...but hasto take this stance because he could otherwise be legally culpable for denying players he has locked out from other alternative employment. However, players as well have lost their benefits/insurance during this time, so, if they get injured, the lockout ends and they are incapable of playing they might have their contracts revoked or not get paid by the nba team. There is also the issue of FIBA having to get permission from USA Basketball for those players with a "valid" contract. I am unsure of what happens there.
Ice_man
If a player is currently under contract with an NBA team, I'm pretty sure they have to get a letter of permission from FIBA to play overseas during the current lockout. Also, the Euro team needs to get insurance on the player's contract in case of injury.
If both Demar and Sonny actually play for the same team, Raps fans might as well just start watching Lithuanian bball. Hopefully Europe can help both of these guys with their long range shooting, as well as their team D. We can only hope they come back better players.
Fri Jul 8, 2011, 01:40 AM
I doubt it, but I think it would be better for Demar to play some Euroleague games then dunking on scrubs during the offseason at a pick up games.
BayCityBaller
if it's good enough for Deron, why not DD? Development is essential and why not afford DD the opportunity to compete and improve?

Hopefully Demar does play in Europe if there is indeed a lockout. I'd love to see any of our young guys actually get a chance to go and play and get some coaching. The more coaching the better for players at a young age.

That's some wishful thinking. I doubt that the Lithuanian league, as passionate as they are about basketball, could afford to put the money forth for an international just out of the NBA. Perhaps, but highly doubtful. Show me a link. I'll translate it if it's out of Lithuania.

Because the players are locked out it is a legal grey area. However, the NBAPA has stated that as long as a player has opt-out clauses attached to their euro league contract they will legally fight any attempt at the NBA or owners trying to deny players from playing overseas. I imagine the owners won't do anything about players playing overseas but that's just my own opinion.

If DW's contract is any example (and he is a star in the NBA) he is repotedly (PTI) getting $200k/month vs $2mill./month in the nba. My math says thats 1/10th. Sonny doesnt say what he is getting but that would be a good benchmark....and then go lower. Not that I blame him for getting anything more than zero and honing his game (and the ladies) in Lithuania.

Stone Arch Bridges
Architecture standing the test of time
Stone Arch Bridges of Butler County, Kansas
Stone Arch Bridges of Cowley County, Kansas
Home/History/Early Cowley Bridges
Early Cowley Bridges
Cowley County, Kansas, is reputed to be the stone arch bridge capital of Kansas and has many historic stone arch bridges. It is, however, unclear what the first stone arch bridge in Cowley County was. The reason for this is very simple — not all stone arch bridges were built by the county, and for some of them the documentation is very poor. Some were built by railroads, and others seem to have sprung up from nowhere.
Stalter Bridge
The Stalter Bridge, Cowley, Kansas, is an example of a poorly documented bridge. Stone culverts received less notice than stone bridges in old sources of information.
The Cowley Bridge Tour brochure has no date on it, and, as yet, it is unknown who built it. Judging from the masonry of the approach walls and its narrow roadway, it is likely a township job, but could very well have been at least partly built by private enterprise. Regardless, the stone arch culverts built by various Cowley townships were sort of a preliminary to the county's future stone arch bridge building campaign. Could the county build a stone arch bridge (not culvert) that would stand up to time and be affordable?
Timber Creek Bridge
The first stone arch bridge built by the county spanned Timber Creek. The bridge site is now under Winfield City Lake. The inspiration for this bridge came from the bridges of Butler County.
Cowley's county commissioners were desperate to build reasonable bridges that were not perpetually decaying in some way, shape, or form. The solution was stone bridges. Greenwood, Marion, and Butler had some of these bridges that did not wash away in every flood and that had no wooden decks to fall through. The Cowley county commissioners were impressed with these stone arch structures and at how relatively low the price tags on them were. They ordered a bridge built to be built over Timber Creek that was eventually completed by Walter Sharp. This bridge was a success, and proved to the commissioners that the stone arch could practically and affordably be used to build large bridges, and not just small culverts.
Dunkard Mill Bridge
The Timber Creek Bridge was merely the beginning, however. The second stone bridge Cowley County ordered was to be the largest stone arch bridge in Kansas — the Dunkard Mill Bridge built over the Walnut River outside of Arkansas City, also built by Walter Sharp.
With three 50-foot-span arches, it was to be a monolithic structure. Later, due to the insufficient waterway of the original design, a fourth, smaller arch was added. The bridge stood for a few decades before being destroyed by a devastating flood in the 1940s. The success of the Dunkard Mill bridge guaranteed the coarse of the county's future bridge building. The fact that a stone arch bridge could survive the abuse of the Walnut River opened the eyes of many in Cowley to the endurance of structures of stone. Cowley County at last had found a bridge type that could withstand the raging floods which plagued the county's streams.
Many cut stones from the old Dunkard Mill Bridge are scattered under the muddy waters of the Walnut River.
McCrabb Bridge
The third stone arch bridge ordered by Cowley was built over Grouse Creek — the first of many stone bridges built over that waterway. This bridge, located outside Cambridge, was known as the McCrabb Bridge, after the land owners. The McCrabb Bridge was actually completed before the Dunkard Mill Bridge; this is because the Dunkard Mill Bridge was a much larger structure. However, the contract for the Dunkard Mill bridge was let first. While the McCrabb bridge is long gone, a small log cabin, built similarly to the style of the old McCrabb cabin, decorates the site and houses an interesting history of what was. Until the ruins were burned in the 1990s, the McCrabb cabin was the last log cabin left in Cowley County.
This site is maintained by private owners, who have done a fantastic job documenting the history of this old cabin, while including information about its various owners, including the McCrabbs. A reprint of an old photograph of some of the McCrabb family "posing" outside the old cabin is among the featured items, as well as various fragments of old bottles, plates, hinges, and several other interesting items from decades ago. This cabin allows one to step back into history and catch a glimpse of what everyday life was like when these stone bridges were built so long ago.
The current bridge at or near the site of the old stone McCrabb Bridge.
These three bridges built by the county were only the beginning of many more to follow, and were the start of the wild popularity for stone bridges in Cowley, which, in the course of time, led to Cowley County being designated the Stone Arch Bridge Capital of Kansas.
