"A few drinks later and a plan had been hatched to build a new one. 'All' we needed to do was acquire a carriage underframe, cut out the middle, join the two ends together and construct a new body!
ex-LNER and LMS examples) as donor vehicles, but when the team came to research the history of the fleet, they found an alarming lack of information – technical drawings were scarce, photos of the vehicles under construction appeared to be non-existent and there was very little printed work on the subject. "In fact, by far the most valuable details and illustrations were contained in feature articles published by The Railway Magazine in December 1995 and June 1996," revealed Brian.
The original vehicles had been numbered B964000 to B964121 and had been built in the early-1960s to four different diagrams by three BR workshops and four outside contractors (see panel).
The diagrams were 1/555, 6, 7 and 8, many utilising Gresley bogies, but as the 21st century brake tender could not be exactly the same as its predecessors, it was decided to allocate an all-new diagram of 1/559 and the running number B964122.
By May 2011, a set of dimensions had been located by the National Railway Museum, enabling group member Mick Yates – a draughtsman by trade – to produce a set of computer-aided drawings suitably revised for use with a Mk1 body and BR1 bogies. At RVP's Rothley base, a start was made on dismantling the donor coach (SK No. 15208).
The body and remaining fittings were removed, the centre section was cut from its 64ft-long underframe and the two end sections were cleaned and painted before being spliced and bolted firmly together to produce a 32ft 2in frame.
The group had chosen the name 'Project X' for its scheme as it wanted to keep the plan quiet until the initial hurdles had been overcome, but after a year or so the members felt confident enough to go public.
The date chosen to issue a press release was April 1, 2012, but the decision back-fired somewhat as most people assumed the announcement was an April Fool spoof and didn't take it seriously.
"It did at least get people talking about us, so in the end it wasn't such a bad decision after all," recalled Brian.
It soon became clear that the joke was on the cynics, however, and half a decade of hard work culminated in December 2016 with the final piece of bodywork fitted to the vehicle ahead of an official launch into traffic at the GCR's September gala this year.
Although it had been possible to acquire components such as brake cylinders from donor vehicles, a large number of metal parts – including the body panels and supporting roof hoops – had to be fabricated from scratch and much of this work was carried out by the group's Phil Stanbridge.
The employer even allowed an expensive and newly acquired lathe machine to be tested out on brake tender work free of charge.
Another lucky break concerned the all-important ballast weights required for the tender's successful operation. BR's original vehicles mainly contained scrap iron or poured concrete as ballast, but a conversation with Nick Tinsley, of the GCR's permanent way team, revealed the existence of a pile of unwanted concrete sleepers in Quorn yard.
Fitted with bullhead chairs, they were non-standard and it was thus agreed that 48 of them could be moved to Rothley – but the volunteer signalman at Quorn thought they were being stolen and phoned Loughborough headquarters to inform the general manager, who duly made contact to double-check what was going on. "It was a bit embarrassing but at least the signalman took the precaution of informing someone of an activity he thought suspicious," said Brian.
The sleepers were duly fork-lifted onto the frames of the DBT and have proved ideal for their new purpose. Some have been placed lengthwise inside the vehicle and others have been cut to size to fit side-to-side.
All have been carefully strapped down and bolted to ensure there is no shifting of the load should the tender be involved in a heavy shunt or some other incident.
The amount of ballast used had to be accurately calculated as it was necessary to bring the vehicle's springs down to their correct riding height to ensure that the tender's buffers line up with those of the locomotives it will be paired with in traffic.
The total weight when up and running will be 35.5 tons – the same as the majority of the originals.
The cost of building the vehicle has been largely met by the group members themselves, aided by a small number of donations. "We all chipped in to raise the initial £1,000 required to purchase the Mk1 coach and since then it's been a case of emptying our wallets whenever anything needed buying," explained Brian.
It is planned to launch the tender into traffic at the GCR's September gala, although engine drivers will need to be trained to handle the extra weight, length and braking power as the tender will officially be considered part of whatever locomotive it is coupled to.
Parts of the railway's rulebook will thus need to be re-written and a number of test runs and driver-training sessions will be necessary, so the group is appealing for ex-BR men with experience of DBTs to come forward with offers of assistance and advice.
After the launch, No. B964122 is likely to be in great demand for photographers' charters and RVP would also be happy to listen to offers from any other heritage railways wishing to operate this unique vehicle on their own metals.
■ Brake tender donations can be made to: RVP Ltd, 26 Cliff Park Avenue, Wakefield WF1 2DW. (Please write 'Project X' on the back of cheques) or text RVPL10 £10 to 70070. Ex-BR drivers are invited to contact Brian Hallett on brian-hallett@sky.com or tel 01778 346728.
THE transition from steam to diesel on British Railways caused major changes, one of which concerned the safe control of heavy unfitted goods trains. Whereas a steam locomotive was able to use its driving wheels and tender wheels for braking, the new forms of traction could rely only on a limited number of small diameter wheelsets.
Following a spate of problems with Bo-Bo and even 1-Co-Co-1 diesels, three prototype brake tenders were built by Glasgow's Cowlairs Works in 1960/61. Numbered DE320848 and DE320922/23, the 35½-ton vehicles proved so successful in trials that BR decided to place orders for a fleet of a further 119 for deployment across the national network.
Two other BR works (York and Stratford) and four private wagon-building companies – Standard, Central, Marcroft and Derbyshire – were contracted to produce the fleet, and all but 10 of the vehicles were outshopped in 1962/63, the remainder following in 1964.
Their low body height enabled them to be pushed as well as pulled by locomotives, although maximum permitted speed was reduced from 60mph to 45mph when being propelled. Fitted with twin vacuum brake cylinders, they not only improved braking power on totally unfitted trains but also increased the braking efficiency of a train with a 'fitted head' (one containing a portion of braked wagons).
Construction costs were kept to a minimum by the use of redundant coaching stock bogies, frames and brake gear, with only the steel platework being new. In most cases this was of a smooth-curved design, resulting from re-use of former carriage roof supports, but the 10 DBTs built by Stratford were larger versions of the first Cowlairs prototype in having a square-edged, rivetted appearance more akin to a First World War battleship.
At 37.5 tons, the Stratford products were two tons heavier than their classmates. The number range for the fleet was B964000 to B964121, with the three Scottish ones being renumbered into that series to make a grand total of 122.
Details of the various diagram builders can be seen in the accompanying table, with Diagram 1/555 being the most common at 78 vehicles, most of which ran on ex-LNER Gresley bogies. The two Diagram 557 vehicles had BR bogies and most of the remainder possessed ex-LMS versions.
Once the shortened frame had been lifted from its bogies, it was placed on stands outside Rothley carriage shed to enable the body-supporting framework to be fitted. Note the large Oleo buffers, with which most, if not all, the original DBTs were fitted.
The tenders were widely used on all Regions of BR, especially on mineral trains in the Midland and Northern coalfields, and it was not uncommon to see a loco working with two, one pushed and the other pulled.
cross-London freights, and it was not unknown for tenders to be paired with AC electrics and even steam locomotives, although the latter were extremely rare.
DBTs were technically classed as wagons, but were always counted as part of a locomotive when in use and would be completely under the control of the driver/secondman, not the guard.
Most were fitted with handbrake wheels on both sides and for the purposes of load computation, each vehicle was regarded as equal in weight to three and a half of BR's standard wagon units and equal in length to one and a half standard wagon units. Under no circumstances were brake tenders permitted to be loose-shunted.
The benefits of the fleet far outweighed the disadvantages, but among the latter was the fact that their deadweight reduced the payload of a train while increasing its length. Special operating procedures had to be introduced, which complicated traffic control, and as freight trains generally became faster, the propelling of brake tenders was abolished by BR from 1970 onwards.
That decision also removed a risk from the network, as there had been a few incidences of drivers misjudging the length of the tenders when stopping at signals.
Several did, however, see regular use on Western Region civil engineers trains in the middle-to-late 1970s and no fewer than three were noted coupled behind Class 37 locos Nos. 37222/238 on a train of rail sections passing Newport, South Wales, in March 1979.
In June of that year, two were pictured in the Eastern Region's Temple Mills marshalling yard.
A dozen or so were transferred into departmental stock (renumbered into the DE3209XX series) and survived into the early-1980s. By that time, most had received BR blue livery in place of the original green.
By 1980, the survivors were concentrated in the Acton and Taunton areas and at least two of those – the former B964017 and B964050 – were noted awaiting the cutter's torch in Woodham's Barry scrapyard in mid-1981.

The Carpenter's Ministry Toolbox: UGH!! I hate the word DONATE!
I have another book in the works called The Art of Teaching Sunday School that will be for any congregation that has no idea how to train their wonderfully loving Sunday School teachers, I'm working on the Bible Reading Guides for the Gospels and Acts, and I am currently writing or updating Environmental Learning Curriculum for Camp Omega in Waterville, MN. It will have an intentional faith element and reference MN state education standards. I also have a number of other projects that I would love to share, but sadly, I can no longer do all of this for free. I am hoping and praying that God will provide a way for this educational ministry to flourish and grow.
I'm asking that you pray about it and if you've found the blog and resources helpful, that you give a small (or even medium size) donation.

The 100 Day Project: Make 100 Earrings 1-20 and a GIVEAWAY!
I did say giveaway - details are at the bottom of the post.
I've been an earring-making fool!
I don't want to jinx myself, but I've gotten my earrings made for the first 20 days of The 100 Day Project. The project takes place on Instagram and its purpose is to encourage creativity for 100 days. Each participant picks a creative endeavor: small, large, progressive, whatever and does it each day for 100 days, using #The100DayProject as well as their own unique hashtag. I announced my #Make100Earrings intent several weeks ago in a post about all the challenges ahead of me. As well, to make it easier on myself, I prepared a box of earring-making supplies that I can take with me wherever I go.
Today is day 21. Before I work on the earrings for today, I thought I'd share here those first 20 pairs.
1: Those large beads needed to come out of the box since they took up so much room. Tiny yellow Chinese crystals from Znetshows.com and copper spacers and beads were tied onto off-white waxed linen cord to make a little fringe and accent the large beads.
2: Really simple and more my "romantic-rustic" style, these earrings were made with crystal teardrop briolettes and salvaged gold-tone beads.
4: These are my favorites in this set. The dangles are Vintaj blanks that I had altered. They're paired with bright teal beads and rhinestone spacers. Love!
5: I hadn't used any of my art beads yet. Since I was home this day, I dug through my artist-made stash and found these polymer clay beauties from Heather Powers of Humblebeads. To accent them, antiqued brass spacers, a bead cap, and a little glass flower were added. These are another favorite.
6: Wanting to do something simple, I used some silvertone connector links and a smokey-gray bead to make these. Easy-peasy. Done!
7: It was a beautiful day and felt so very summery. This inspired me to make these bright, bold earrings.
8: Again, I dipped into my stash of altered Vintaj blanks to make these earrings. They dangle from a stack of small, coordinating beads.
9: I hadn't included any buttons so far, and those amazonite rectangles were calling to me. I paired those elements with a short length of antiqued brass chain and called it a day.
10: Working from my travel box this day, the copper rings caught my eye. Simple dangles of white & clear beads completed the earrings.
11: These were complete spur-of-the-moment earrings. All of the components came from the earring box, but I picked them out hurriedly to make the pair. I think it works.
12: I knew this was going to be another hectic day, so I grabbed these beautiful glass beads and simply let them dangle from balled head pins.
13: It was Easter. I wanted a basket. Finding these brass stamped baskets, I colored them with layers of Vintaj Patinas before dangling them from a few ZnetShows.com glass beads.
14: Feeling inspired by all the growing things outside, I was compelled to make some green earrings. I dove into the green drawer of my bead cabinet. Silver chain and head pins completed them.
15: Like the first pair of earrings I made, I just wanted to get these big pink beads out of the container. As well, I'd seen other designers use filigree bead caps as a base for chandelier earrings, so I let that inspire me. With matching seed beads, I worked these up as quick as possible. When my husband saw them, he thought they looked like octopi and suggested I add eyes. I did try, but the medium I used wiped right off even after hours and hours of dry time. I may try it again later, but wanted these done before the end of the day. So, I left them as they were.
16: This was a busy day of family visiting. As such, I picked out these beads and simply wired them together. Simple and pretty.
17: I didn't have much time before we headed to the beach to make anything. Pat suggested I collect shells to make my daily earrings. As you can see, that's exactly what I did. I know from previous experience that I can find shells with a single hole in them. Here example #1 and example #2 of other jewelry I've made from found shells. I made sure to only collect tiny ones. At home, I evenly sorted then stacked them onto head pins (using a seed bead to start). However, while bending the wire to make the loop, several of the shells broke - hence the space at the top of the earring on the right. I got them made at least! They can't all be winners.
18: I picked through some of the pairs of beads I had from what Kari sent me for the Bead Peeps Swap N Hop and selected the purple leaves and cube. The spacer and other beads came from my own stash, but worked out nicely.
19: After a full day poolside, I realized I hadn't made any earrings yet. I picked up the mother of pearl buttons, tarnished silver beads, and hematite-colored wire that were on my desk for another project and whipped these up.
20: Yesterday was my oldest niece's birthday. With her in mind, I selected the blue lampwork beads that had been freebies from Mermaid Glass when I ordered something else (at least that how I had them marked!) She likes blue almost as much as I do, but also loves black. I've had these vintage black beads in my stash since the dawn of time (or sometime there abouts). Antiqued silver tone bead caps and findings finish the earrings.
For the most part, I'm happy with the the earrings I've created. I know they're not all winners or something I'm going to try to sell (the shell earrings!!). However, I'm really pleased that I've been able to get a pair made every day despite a busy schedule and vacation. The 100 Day Project is working for me!
Oh, I did say something about a giveaway didn't I?
Which two pairs are your favorite? Let me know in the comments and leave your e-mail address by May 13th. I'll pick and announce a winner on May 14th (Mother's Day). You just might win your favorites. Oh, and this is open to only US residents. Sorry!!
Great job! Your dedication is inspiring! #5 and #10 are calling my name! They are all awesome! Thanks for the giveaway!
Thank you! I'm hoping this little project will remind me that I can create something every day no matter how tight my days are. It's working so far. But, we're only 1/5 the way in. Eek!! Thanks for stopping in and playing along. Good Luck!!
I applaud your commitment!I love your originality and style. #8 & #4 are my absolute favorites so far. Looking forward to see more earrings to come.
They are all pretty cute, but I'd have to say 4 and 5 are my favorites!
Thank you! Those two seem to be the general favorites right now. I'm so glad you like them as well. Good luck!
Before you mentioned the Giveaway, I was eyeing numbers 1,2,11,12,14 & 20 as being my favorites, only slightly above several others that I really like as well! As I look back, trying to narrow it to 2,I keep wanting to add to that list rather than take away. Ok, I'm going to say 2 and 20 look like earrings that I would wear the most!
Keep it up! I can't wait to see more of the results!
Ha. Yeah, the shells aren't one I expect most anyone to like. They were my version of faking it. I'm so glad you like so many of them!! That means so much to me. Good Luck!
Number 5 is my favorite out of so many pretty earrings (and PINK, oh I love pink!) There's just something sweet about them AND I just painted my toes that light teal color! lori at lorianderson dot net is my email -- well done!!!
I like 5 and 12. They are all beautiful! You are very talented! Thanks for the chance to win a pair.
Oh. Those are two beauties for sure!! Thank YOU for stopping in and taking a peek. Good Luck!
These are all beautiful and I couldn't pick just one favourite. I love 4, 11, 16, and 20. Also, I'm Canadian but head to the US regularly and would gladly drive to the border post office to pick these up!
You are on fire! Only 80 more to go! lol.
#9 and #13 are my favorites. I really like the buttons with the chain dangling down. Mod chic! And I liked how you layered the patina colors on the basket. So pretty!
I like many of the others too.
I am enjoying your 100project, Hope! I admire your dedication to the process.
I don't enter too many giveaways, but had to throw my hat in the ring for this one. Thanks Hope!
Aw thanks! I've got you entered. Good Luck!!
My daughter and I both chose 11 as our favorite; we love the vintage look and the coral bead. She said it looked like it would have been worn on Downton Abbey! My second choice was so difficult, but I finally decided on 10. They still have a vintage feel, they would go with any outfit, and I love copper! You are so talented even with the ones you said you put together quickly.
I've enjoyed all your creations. My two picks are #9 and #11. Email: lhamilton114 at gmail dot com. Thank you!

Villar's Record-Setting HR Carries Orioles Past Dodgers 7-3
Filed Under:Baltimore Orioles. Dodgers, Baseball, LA Dodgers, Local TV, los angeles dodgers, mlb, Orioles, Talkers
BALTIMORE (AP) — Jonathan Villar hit a tiebreaking, record-setting three-run homer in the seventh inning, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-3 Wednesday night to end a six-game losing streak.
Villar's drive off Caleb Ferguson (1-2) was the 6,106th in the majors this season, breaking the previous mark of 6,105 in 2017. The milestone shot came on a fastball that Villar sent deep into the left-field seats to snap a 2-2 deadlock.
Pedro Severino added a two-run drive in the eighth.
Having clinched the NL West title on Tuesday night before indulging in an alcohol-themed celebration, the Dodgers did not appear to play with their usual intensity.
Manager Dave Roberts rested starters Joc Pederson and Justin Turner, starting pitcher Ross Stripling toiled for only three innings before getting the rest of the night off and a first-inning double by David Freese was Los Angeles' only hit off John Means through the fifth.
Roberts used seven pitchers. The Dodgers finished with six hits, the most notable a two-run drive by A.J. Pollock that made it 2-1 in the sixth.
In the bottom half, Joe Kelly walked the leadoff batter, threw a wild pitch and gave up a two-out RBI single to Dwight Smith Jr.
The Baltimore seventh began with a walk, and Austin Hays' third hit of the game preceded Villar's career-high 21st home run.
The victory was Baltimore's 47th of the season, matching its total from last year. The Orioles remain two defeats away from their second straight 100-loss season.
Shawn Armstrong (1-1) followed Means with 1 2/3 innings of one-hit relief to earn his second career victory in 100 appearances.
Roberts is in the midst of his fourth straight 90-win season with Los Angeles. Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde is striving to win 50 games in his first year with the rebuilding Orioles.
Hyde, who won a World Series ring as a coach with the Chicago Cubs, can appreciate what it takes to be a constant winner.
"I have a lot of respect for the Dodgers. I have a lot of respect for Dave Roberts," Hyde said. "That's so hard to do, seven years in a row winning the division. He's done some great things there."
TRAINER'S ROOM
Dodgers: Turner (ankle) remained out of the lineup. Roberts said X-rays were inconclusive and that Turner would undergo an MRI exam. "Right now, with where we're at, to push it doesn't make a whole lot of sense," Roberts said. … INF Max Muncy (fractured wrist) is expected to rejoin the team Friday in New York. Muncy, who has 33 HRs and 87 RBIs, has been hitting live pitching in Arizona this week.
Orioles: Hyde is adamant about protecting the right arm of 2013 first-round pick Hunter Harvey (1-0, 1.69 ERA over 5 1/3 innings). "He hasn't thrown this much since 2014, so he's got some soreness," Hyde said. "He's never pitched into September, so we're just giving him a little bit more time off."
Dodgers: LHP Rich Hill (4-1, 2.55 ERA), who is 2-0 with an 0.87 ERA in 12 lifetime appearances against Baltimore, returns from a forearm strain Thursday night to make his first appearance since June 19 in the finale of the three-game series.
Orioles: Dylan Bundy (6-13, 5.06) makes his 28th start, needing to win twice more to match his victory total of 2018.

In this painting I was trying to capture an impression of areas around the Norfolk Broads during the winter months. Specifically Ranworth Broad and Strumpshaw Fen have inspired me a lot recently. I am sure they will continue to as the seasons change.
I find the untamed wildness so beautiful. The patterns of the marshes and the water seem abstract in and of themselves. I love the linear patterns of the leaf stripped trees, the tall grasses and reeds and the wilted dead foliage. So many textures.
I have been brought to tears a few times by how overwhelming and real it all is. Maybe this is because of all of the time I have spent unable to leave the house. So in a way I am thankful for going through chronic illness. It has given me new eyes. What a wonderful experience to feel my surroundings so strongly and feel such gratitude to be alive amongst the untamed.


We had a lovely holiday with my family this past weekend. It was nice to escape from the life/work/moving madness and vacation in Davidson for a few days.
I haven't uploaded any pictures from my good camera yet, because my house is in utter disarray, but I'll get around to it eventually. In the meantime, here are some Instagrams.
Edit: Grace has a sweet recap of happy moments from Thanksgiving Day, and her photos are, as always, much better than mine.
Pyrrha does some hard-core napping.
Grace is slowly turning into a teenage boy.
Saturday night, post-feast meal: Potato chips, BBQ, and wine.
Hope you all had peaceful breaks!

First we had the rap-porn crossover (um, that's a link to, you know, porn, so be careful). Now we have the rap to anatomically-correct--or is that incorrect?--anyway, anatomically modeled sex toys crossover. Sure, it's a little creepy, but porn stars have been in this game for a while already (yeah, you really don't want to open that one at work, and not just because it's impossible to believe that Jenna Jameson's anus is really that small still, if it ever was).
I used to work with this guy in Houston who had done an art project in college where he had made plaster casts of the breasts of about 30 women. We're not talking busts here: we're talking the cast, the impression, the negative. Here it was, five or so years later, he's married (and swinging, but that's a whole other story, or is it?), living in a small, two-bedroom apartment, and he's still got all these things hanging on the wall in his home office! Not that it wasn't cool, but now every time I read about one of these celebrity anatomical molds I think back and wonder if once in a while that guy in Houston takes one of these casts down, mixes up a batch of ballistic latex or something, and reconstitutes the forever-young chest of some chick that modeled for him in college. Now that's creepy.

ESL NEWS – November 5, 2012
Story 1 James Bond On October 24th the newest James Bond movie showed in London, England. Prince Charles and his wife Camilla were at the event along with many of the actors in the new film. The name of the movie is "Skyfall" and it is the 23rd Bond movie ever to be made. Movie critics are already calling Skyfall one of the best Bond movies ever. Like other Bond movies, it has lots of action, fast cars, beautiful women, and interesting high-tech things. The 1st Bond movie was made 50 years ago and was called "Dr. No". Since then, the films have earned over $5 billion worldwide. Skyfall will be playing at theatres in Vancouver on November 8th. Story 2 Killer Coffee How many cups of coffee do you drink per day? According to a recent study in the United States, it takes about 10 grams of caffeine to cause an overdose in the average adult. That would be the equivalent of drinking 50 large coffees at Tim Hortons. But a 2005 report stated that it only requires 5 grams to suffer a fatal caffeine overdose. There still seems to be a lack of agreement in the medical community about how much caffeine it takes to kill someone. Health Canada simply advises that it's a bad idea for adults to ingest more than 400mg of caffeine in a day. That's just 2 to 3 cups, depending on the strength of the coffee. Story 3 Shark-Fin Soup A very popular Chinese restaurant in Vancouver has just taken shark-fin soup off the menu. Floata Seafood Restaurant on Keefer Street signed a statement last month stating that the 1,000-seat restaurant would cease serving the controversial dish. Vancouver city councillor Kerry Jang said that Floata is the first Chinese restaurant in Vancouver to take this step. Jang, who would like to see a regional ban on the sale of shark-fin products, believes that other Chinese restaurants may soon follow suit. Floata had had shark-fin soup on its menu since it opened its first Canadian location in Richmond in 1992. The dish was usually served as part of a 12-course menu for 10 people and ranged in price from $438 to $988. Floata is not concerned about losing revenues due to eliminating the soup. Shark-fin soup was not so popular anymore according to the restaurant. Also, Manager Raymond Lau said that there are numerous other soups that can be served as a substitute such as fish, crab, and chicken soup. Councillor Jang expressed that now Floata better reflects Canadian values by promoting sustainability and the protection of endangered species. On Friday afternoon at around 2:00pm a SkyTrain passenger spotted a suspicious looking object on the track between Scott Road and Gateway Stations in Surrey. When the Surrey RCMP's explosives unit arrived, they found some empty tanks strapped to a small red canister, with straps and wires and a fuse sticking out. They quickly determined that it was an explosive device and carefully removed it. Later they discovered that it could have been ignited electronically or manually. Dozens of officers were out on Saturday investigating how the bomb ended up on the tracks. Transit Police spokesperson Anne Drennan said it would have been very difficult to throw the device up onto the tracks because it was quite an elevated section. Police are examining video cameras from businesses in the area and are going door to door in an effort to gather information. They are asking anyone who had seen anything suspicious to give Transit police a call. Currently there are no suspects and Transit Police remain on high alert. Daylight saving time ended on Sunday, November 4 at 2:00am when clocks were turned back an hour. Academic research shows that losing an hour of daylight can have negative effects on both the mind and body, including disturbed sleep patterns, seasonal depression and obesity. One of the major factors is that the reduced daylight hours in the fall and winter cause many people to become less physically active. People stay indoors and become more sedentary. This may lead to weight gain and an increased risk of diabetes, hypertension, and some cancers. Dr. Martin Young, from the Division of Cardiovascular Disease at the University of Alabama has found that it may even lead to an increased risk of having a heart attack. What experts suggest is that people prepare for this by developing healthy habits. Anar Alidina, a dietician in Toronto, emphasizes that regular exercise along with eating fresh healthy food can help reduce stress, prevent weight gain, and protect against the onset of depression. She said, "Keep fresh healthy food on hand to help you feel energized during daylight saving. With long winter days ahead of us, it's so easy and convenient to turn to comfort foods that are often high in fat and sugar." The clocks won't change again until March 10, 2013 when they are turned forward one hour.

What is your professional career title? Senior Compliance Examiner by day. Chief Empowerment Strategist all day.
List your social media accounts that we can post.
What life motto have you come to live by?
As women, we give, give, give and daily you need a way to pour back into yourself without validation from other people or outside sources or influences…because trust me, those things will fade away. I teach women how to Pray, Meditate, and Journal on a consistent basis. If you do it consistently when there are difficult times, it will come naturally, and you'll find all your motivation and inspiration there.
What do you do for a living? What is your career?
By day, I conduct compliance exams of financial institutions. My God-given purpose, my passion, and my business, however, are to Inspire, Empower, Impact, and Serve women by helping them manage their day-to-day activities with their God-given purposes. It doesn't matter if you are an entrepreneur, stay at home Mom, or millennial, everyone at some point in life ponders the question, am I operating in my God-given purpose and how do I get the most out of my day. My business provides women with simple, yet effective tools and systems such as The Daily Success Planner And Journal!
Stoked because I'm going BIG! My overarching goals are to have greater impact, influence, and to give more, but strategically. I'm selling 80% more planners this year and increasing participation in my group coaching by 5 times. I will achieve these goals by increased market presence; partnering and collaborating with like-minded women; and sponsoring, speaking as well as hosting women events.
I am such an early bird. I learned many years ago that how you begin your day can have a great impact on your attitude and accomplishments throughout the entire day. Successful individuals understand that creating morning rituals can help them reach their daily goals on a consistent basis. They truly embrace discipline and routine. In the early hours of the day, it is vitally important to have "self-care." As I mentioned before, self-care is divine care. Daily I take time to exercise, pray, meditate, journal, repeat affirming thoughts, and use my #DailySuccessPlannerAndJournal.
Spending time with my inner-circle. I have two little girls, 9 and 12 (soon to be 13) and they are watching me like a hawk. I love to spend quality time with them and that could be doing almost anything…whatever their little hearts desire. I just love being with them.
All things dealing with Women…helping them understand that they can have and do it all. I founded a non-profit women's organization, Women Empowering Women ("WEw") in 2009. WEw is an organization that promotes the empowerment of women through professional, educational, and social programs focused on collaborative leadership, entrepreneurship, health and wellness, and community service.
Ha! Spare time is always used strategizing and working…even with friends. We are all female entrepreneurs and we spend time working on marketing plans, sales funnels, and hosting events, which is so much fun.
What things happened in your life that made you the overcomer that you are today? Tell us your story.
My husband and I were both raised in homes with serial entrepreneurs, so entrepreneurship came very organically for us. In 2007 or so, we were approached about a business venture in direct sales and marketing that we took advantage of, building a relatively large network of other entrepreneurs (mainly my hubby building and me supporting). What I found was that I was naturally coaching and helping women in our business who were a lot like you and me, in that they were wearing many hats, managing multiple things, but frankly unfulfilled, and not growing into their full potential. At that time, which was a few years later in 2009, I started Women Empowering Women. I had a baby that was three years old, was expecting my second child, working a full-time job, running the back office of our business, and desperately seeking organization and a little "Me-time." I personally began doing some things on a daily basis that proved to be widely successful and later created tools, systems, and programs to help other women achieve balance and success, not only in business but also in life.
What is your definition of success? In your own words.
When you personally set a goal and accomplish it, I would define that as success. It, however, is very subjective and there are always levels of success. It's a constant journey…when you get to one level, there's always another level awaiting you.
Being featured on the cover of South Fulton Lifestyle Magazine and recognized as a "Real Wife" in our community was an honor because it represented my brand message as a wife, mother of two, professional, entrepreneur, author, and advocate for women. I am also super proud of my business, being the designer and creator of #YourDailySuccessPlannerAndJournal and founder of Women Empowering Women,.
If you could speak to young women today, what is the most important advice you'd give to them?
I would say, beautiful lady, you can do it! If you are certain that what you are doing is part of your God-given purpose, you will inevitably achieve success. There are so many moving parts to life, but find a coach, mentor, advisor that will tell you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear.
Can you share with us the names of some women who have inspired you?
Can you offer any information and resources that Inspire DEFINED can offer our readers?
Absolutely! Undoubtedly, hands down, my favorite tool is the DailySuccessPlannerAndJournal because it is simple, yet extremely effective in organizing my personal, business, and career life with my God-given purpose.
I also LOVE Aweber because it helps captures information of potential clients/customers in one database and I can follow up in a personalized way through a completely automated process. And, PayPal because I love those notifications.
This was truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing and the encouragement.

Deshaun Watson surprises mom with home makeover
HOUSTON, Texas -- Deshaun Watson's mother spent years encouraging him to chase his dreams.
Now that Watson has achieved one of his biggest goals of reaching the NFL, the Houston Texans quarterback is giving back to her by renovating the home he grew up in.
"She is my rock, my hero," Watson said. "She always was there giving 100 percent each and every day to try to be the best she can be to help her kids be successful."
It's been well-documented that the Watson family received a home from Habitat For Humanity when Deshaun was 11 years old in Gainesville, Georgia. His mother still lives in that house, but now that he's receiving NFL paychecks he decided it was time to spruce it up.
His mother is a survivor of throat cancer and watching her fight through the disease made him even more determined to do something special for her.
"She deserves it," Deshaun said. "It's been a solid home for us for ... over 12 years now. (But) living room, kitchen and dining area, those areas need a little touch up. Everything she went through, this is really the smallest thing I can do for her."
Watson chronicled the spiffy makeover of his mother's living room, dining room and kitchen on an online show called "My Houzz," which can be seen here, and used the renovation website houzz.com to plan and carry out the project.
Watson worked with a contracting team he found on the website, but he selected everything for the renovation. He picked the perfect lights, the color scheme, artwork for the wall, the right bar stools and kitchen cabinet, among dozens of other additions. Watson was thrilled to learn he could add a fireplace, something his mother had long wanted.
He was pleased when told there'd be no need to build a chimney because it was an electric fireplace that starts with the flip of a switch.
The 23-year-old Clemson graduate got a look at the completed project before unveiling it to his mother, and he loved how everything turned out. When his mother arrived, he greeted her outside and held her hand as she closed her eyes before he led her into the fabulous upgraded space. When she opened her eyes and gazed around the room, a huge smile spread across her face. Her son's smile was just as broad.
He was right about the fireplace, too. It was one of the first things Deann commented on.
"I love my fireplace," she said. "I love it."
She walked around her renovated home with wide eyes, taking in all the beautiful changes. She was also excited to see that her microwave, which formerly took up counter space, was now built into one of the cabinets.
"I never thought it would be like this," she said. "It's beautiful."
Watson enjoyed the challenge of leading this project, but the best moment came when he saw the joy the gift brought his mom.
"I could just see it in her eyes," Watson said. "She was very moved. Everything that she saw, she loved it. Being a son and being able to take care of your momma and help her out felt good."

Montreal - Boeing suffered an unexpected 4-0 defeat against Bombardier at the USITC. What's next?
Boeing couldn't stop the CSeries on the way to Delta. On January 26, The USITC (The United States International Trade Commission) surprisingly voted 4: 0 against punitive tariffs on CSeries.
The lower courts and the US government had favored punitive tariffs in response to Canadian state aid to the CSeries program and Boeing's allegations of price dumping. While Bombardier sees the USITC's decision as the victory of free competition, Boeing reserves further steps.
Boeing may contest the decision before the US Court of International Trade or appeal the WTO in a new lawsuit.
Boeing intends to evaluate the written decision of the USITC first, which will be presented to the parties on February 9. Among other things, the USITC rejected punitive tariffs because the committee thinks that 100-seated small CS100 is not a competitor for the 737-700 and 737 MAX 7, the smallest variants of the 737 family.
However, if a US airline wants to import CS300, the larger variant of the CSeries, the discussions could start again.

The final 18 months of World War II. After years of being officially allied with Germany, Hungarian leader Regent Horthy (Sir Ben Kingsley) begins to sense that the Axis is losing, and starts to take action to break his uneasy relationship with his Nazi counterparts. As a result, the Jewish population of Hungary is suddenly no longer protected from the desperate German effort to carry out Hitler's final solution.
Inspired by the true story of Pinchas Rosenbaum, WALKING WITH THE ENEMY begins in the final months of World War II.
Walking with the Enemy is inspired by a true story that is little-known to American audiences, but well-known in Hungary, where a man managed to successfully wage his own secret war against the Nazis while the larger struggle for Eastern Europe waged all around him.
For Mark Schmidt, the message and meaning of the film assured him that the effort, no matter how unlikely or monumental, would be worth it. It made sense that Walking with the Enemy would be undertaken by Schmidt and producer Randy Williams for Liberty Studios. "Our mission is to make films honoring individuals who exhibit great acts of courage or extraordinary feats," says Schmidt.
With a complicated production schedule and shooting locations in both Europe and the United States, Schmidt and Williams hired quality professionals in order to make an authentic and meaningful period film.
As far as taking on the role of Regent Horthy, Schmidt says, "to be honest, I couldn't think of anyone else but Sir Ben Kingsley. Sir Ben has a great heart, and he's got a passion for right against evil that really drew him to the part. He is an extraordinary professional."
The same was true of the cast, most of them from Great Britain, along with the US and Europe, who were also moved by Elek's story and the opportunity to bring this unique story to life. "We knew that for the part of Elek, we wanted the right actor." Dublin-born Jonas Armstrong, best known for playing the title role in the BBC series "Robin Hood" and opposite Chloe Sevigny in the acclaimed and controversial miniseries "Hit and Miss," proved to be exactly the right combination of experience and ability that was needed to bring Elek to life. "He is an amazing artist that can internalize a role. We were lucky to be able to get someone like Jonas to fill the part."

No Place for Foreign Interference in Region: Iranian President
November, 28, 2021 - 18:46
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – President of Iran Ebrahim Raisi described collective interaction among the regional countries as the main factor blocking foreign interference.
In a meeting with the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, held on the sidelines of the 15th ECO Summit in Ashgabat on Sunday, President Raisi highlighted the great capacities for regional cooperation.
"In the world's current situation, the cooperation among the regional countries would turn many threats into opportunities, as there will be no more room for interference from the foreign countries with the active presence of the regional countries," he added.
Expressing Iran's readiness to boost relations with Uzbekistan in various fields, such as transportation, the energy industry, and the fight against terrorism, President Raisi said the foreign ministers of the two countries should devise a road map to long-term cooperation between the two nations.
For his part, the Uzbek president appreciated Iran's active policy in the region, stressing that regional peace and stability would materialize with the participation of the local nations.
He also described the potential for economic relations and trade exchanges as a suitable ground for the promotion of ties between Uzbekistan and Iran, calling for an increase in the volume of trade exchanges.
The two presidents then talked about the situation in Afghanistan, with both stressing the need for the formation of an inclusive Afghan government and the establishment of peace and sustainable security in that country.

Jobs report is still a 'tale of two communities,' says former New Orleans mayor

Summer jobs slowdown help Trump?
While Friday's nonfarm payrolls report continued a streak of job growth, it wasn't "strong enough" to lift part-time workers and the unemployed, according to Marc Morial, former mayor of New Orleans.
The U.S. economy added just 151,000 jobs in August, below economist predictions for about 180,000.
Morial said in an interview on CNBC's "Power Lunch " that while some areas have been highly successful, many places in the U.S. are still suffering from wage stagnation and high pockets of unemployment.
"Look at Baton Rouge where you've had a devastating flood. Well some parts of that city have seen a comeback, tremendous investment, other parts, no — not much in the last 15 to 20 years. So Louisiana is like a lot. It's a tale of two communities," he said.
Morial, who is CEO of the National Urban League, said that one way the government can do that is by investing in infrastructure.

In Lost Kingdoms, the fog invades the land of Argwyll, home of the main character Katia, who is also the princess of this kingdom. The fog has been terrorizing the land for a long time, and Katia's father - the king - eventually ventured out to help try and deal with the deadly substance. However, since her father hadn't returned in some time, Katia soon leaves to find him.

A common problem in data analysis – including machine learning and genomics – is to detect, within a large array, small submatrices which are 'structured' in some way. Such submatrices, called 'biclusters' can represent a subset of features shared across a subset of images, or a subsets of genes that are coexpressed across a subset of the patient population. In this talk I will discuss some of the challenges associated with biclustering, and provide an algorithm that overcomes most of these challenges.
