Great news have just received my great grandfathers victory medal as it was not issued.
My grandfather's BWM arrived from the MOD this morning, without this forum I wouldn't have had a clue about it...thanks to everybody!!!!
I've posted on another topic - see link - where it has been asserted that MOD have changed established policy and wil issue previously unissued ( not only returned) WW1 campaign medals.
See reply to my query below.
I found this thread whilst researching the subject and wondered if anyone has knowledge of the current situation?
My wife's great-uncle was killed in 1917. His BWM and Victory Medals were issued, but then stolen, recovered (offender charged) and returned to the Medal Office. All of this is documented within his service papers, including an acknowledgement of receipt by the Medal Office.
There are no annotations to the Medal Roll nor the Medal Index Card.
The family did not get the medals re-issued, so what are our chances of getting them re-issued to NOK?
It'll cost nothing to apply so I'd give it a go with a covering letter and copy documents.
Apply with all the copied correspondence proving they were returned.
One last word of warning. When the medals arrive you need to sign a declaration saying you will not sell them, if you do sell them you can be prosecuted.
This is an interesting point. I am sure nobody in possession of a newly issued set would offer them for sale. Though at some point such is life some may come onto the collector market. How would a collector be able to spot a new issue, how do they compare to the original issue, are they identical for example is the BWM made of silver?
I'm not sure about WW1 Campaign Medals but WW2 Medals are delivered in individual "smart" medal boxes - a big change from the one small cardboard box used to deliver all "original" issue medals to demobilised service personnel 70 years ago.
Yes the ww1 medals come in the same black boxes. Very nice indeed.
How does this work for Merchant Mariners?
I have a friend whose great uncle died aboard the Grimsby Trawler Cheshire when it hit a mine. He would have been entitled to BWM and Mercantile Marine medal, there is no record of them ever having been claimed - should we try to claim at least the BWM?
Tried ringing them on the number Barry gave to be told "We don't deal with ww1 medals" so will just send the form in and see what occurs.
Sent form and supporting info off to the MOD Medal Office a couple of weeks ago. A letter has come back saying that the MOD Medal Office isn't able to assess claims for merchant seamen BUT they have kindly forwarded it to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (Cardiff). So fingers remain firmly crossed!
Does this apply to the Silver War Badge?
My Grandfather was discharged after 54 days, being no longer fit for military service with no SWB issued.
Youll never know until you apply but I've not heard of any successful applications. Current policy change is in relation to issued medals that were returned to MOD - for various reasons - and not subsequently reissued.
I've not read the whole topic for a long while but I don't think the change applies to officers medals - which like SWB for persons discharged early in the war - had to be claimed.
Just had the reply from the Maritime Agency.
They are no longer issuing ww1 medals and claim that no more will be struck as the Royal Mint has destroyed the dies.
Did put that in the email, so you never know.
I emailed the Royal Mint asking about remaining stocks of the Mercantile Marine medal and the statement from the Maritime & Coastguard Agency's Medal Office that the dies had been destroyed and their reply received this morning is below. Consequently a new email will be sent to the MCA. The medals under discussion were BWM and MMM.
"To answer your question is short. If the MoD came to ourselves for an order for any of the medals below, they could be made. If dies are no longer available, they would be remade. Obviously, there would be a cost involved in this but again, that would be a matter between your friend and the MoD Medal Office."
....I'm sure that the Royal Mint would be ready and willing to produce any new dies required should either organisation order them but RSS will not be doing so in the foreseeable future."
Looks like we shall have to go down the replica route after all (did think of writing to the MPs whose constituencies are relevant but suspect that would just be a waste of everyone's time).


Montreal health officials are blaming the heavy heat and humidity for at least six deaths in recent days. Daytime highs again will be in the low 30s with humidex near 40.
The extreme heat event will continue through Thursday.
The heat warning extends throughout the GTA and most of southern Ontario, including Hamilton, Waterloo and Barrie.
Canada Day crowds in the capital will face the challenge of keeping hydrated in temperatures that are forecast to peak at 36 C, with a humidex of 47 and a UV index of 10, or "very high".
Overnight low temperatures are expected to be in the low 20s, with some rural areas dipping into the low teens - but no matter where you are in southwestern Ontario, there won't be much - if any - relief from the heat.
He says most vulnerable to become sick due to high heat and humidity are infants, young children, the elderly and people with chronic health conditions like lung or heart problems. Watch for the effects of heat illness: swelling, rash, cramps, fainting, heat exhaustion, heat stroke and the worsening of some health conditions.
The Salvation Army was out at Gore Park handing out bottles of water reminding people to heed the warnings and protect themselves, and police have already received a number of calls including one on Appleby Line and Upper Middle Road in Burlington where they rescued a dog from a hot vehicle where the temperature was 66 degrees.


For many of us Christmas is a time of joy, a time for family, a time for giving and a time of unity. For others of us it is a time of stress, a time of emotional dysregulation and a time of disruption.
Who is the Soft Touch?
Many children who come into care suffer with incredibly low self-esteem and this is usually something which they will have to battle throughout their lives.
A few months back our home became our youngest's longest home. I said then it would be quite a while before our oldest could celebrate the same occasion. That is still technically true, but it depends on how you define your 'home'. Is it the people you live with? The place you live? Or a combination of the two?
During our blip one of the minor reasons that was first suggested as to why we wouldn't be a suitable family for our children was that we had two dogs. For the time being I will ignore the fact that this was stated in our Prospective Adopters Report and that we were initially approached by Social Services about the children and not the other way around.
Before I write this post I would like to point out that I'm not mad, while these conversations are based on real events they never actually happened anywhere other than in my head. The Request Child: That looks interesting. *points to age inappropriate object out of reach* Parent: No, you can't have that. Child: Can I have that please? *points again, moves closer* Parent: No, that's not for you. *moves child away from object and next to some toys in attempt to distract* Child: I want that toy! *returns to object, points again* Parent: That isn't a toy, you can't have it.

How to Win Wet Dog Food Sales
Wet diets for dogs are seeing rising sales and increased popularity as offerings more effectively meet owner demands.
By Sandy Chebat
Published: 2019.07.05 03:59 PM
Sales in the overall pet food category continue to reach new heights. Total sales of U.S. dog and cat foods attained an estimated $27 billion in 2018, representing 4.3 percent growth over the previous year, according to Pet Food in the U.S., 14th Edition, a recently released report from market research firm Packaged Facts. With sales of dog and cat food rising, manufacturers of wet dog foods are making strategic changes to keep their product sales on this upward trajectory.
According to industry insiders, manufacturers of wet diets are capitalizing on consumers' obsession with ingredients and sourcing.
"Most customers are asking where the food is made and what protein is in the food," said Caitlin Jones, manager of Nooga Paws in Chattanooga, Tenn.
These customers are drawn to high-meat-content, grain-free offerings and whole-food ingredients, especially those with antioxidant properties, insiders noted. And, dog owners want to know how those ingredients are sourced.
"A growing number of pet parents are interested in purchasing made in the USA products with clean ingredient declarations that are high in healthy nutrients and responsibly sourced," said Bill Shaner, managing partner and CEO at PetGuard in Sewickley, Pa.
Savvy manufacturers are responding with increased transparency.
"This need for true farm-to-bowl transparent manufacturing practices is driving wet food manufacturers to become more transparent regarding their sourcing practices, as well as upgrade sourcing to meet consumer demand," said Mary Helen Horn, president and executive director for Overland Park, Kan.-based Ziwi USA.
To meet consumer demand, she said Ziwi's canine wet foods contain no grain or binding agents and have high meat content.
Wet food manufacturers are also using new packing materials for new product releases.
"More pet parents are trading up their conventional cans for more convenient, BPA-free Tetra Pak cartons to preserve the flavor and freshness of their pets' wet foods," said Adrian Pettyan, CEO and co-founder of Caru Pet Food Co. in Vero Beach, Fla., adding that pet owners appreciate the eco-friendliness and recyclability of the company's Caru Stews, which are packaged in Tetra Pak cartons.
Jones also reported growing interest in eco-friendly packaging options, and reported that three of the store's top brands released wet food this year in BPA-free Tetra Pak cartons that can be recycled.
Darrel Day, owner of Dog Gone Holistic, which has two stores in Florida, agreed that the Tetra-Pak-type packages have been really popular, and sales of canned or wet dog foods are higher this year than in recent years.
"The move to Tetra Paks and more pouches have made the foods more popular," he said, adding that while many pet owners find wet foods as convenient as kibble, or more so, others mostly use wet food as a topper on kibble to add variety to their pet's diet.
The trend of using wet diets as food toppers can be attributed to the growing interest seen in meal enhancers, according to Jilliann Smith, director of communications at Merrick Pet Care in Amarillo, Texas.
"Wet foods give pet parents the opportunity to add variety to their dog's diet and make mealtime a little extra special," she said. "That's why it's not surprising that we continue to see a growing interest in the meal enhancers category, which includes liquids and other wet toppers and formats.
"Overall, the meal enhancer category experienced double-digit growth in 2018, up 36 percent versus the previous year [according to gfK/Nielsen data ending Dec. 31, 2018]," Smith continued, adding that the company's Castor & Pollux Pristine Bone Broths for dogs have "quickly become one of the fastest-growing wet products in our line."
Overcoming Category Challenges
Despite the growing popularity of wet foods, there are several challenges that manufacturers reported facing in developing wet foods for dogs, and they continually strive to overcome these challenges while delivering quality diets that sell well for independent retailers.
"Ensuring food safety continues to be a critical concern for every manufacturer of wet or dry products," Pettyan said.
Pet food safety is top of mind for most dog owners. To instill consumer trust in their products, many manufacturers have adjusted their ingredients and sourcing choices.
"From a manufacturing standpoint, the biggest challenge quality-driven companies like PetGuard face is sourcing," Shaner said. "We spend lot of time and effort to ensure that all the ingredients we use are consistently top notch."
At Caru Pet Food, the stews are 100 percent human grade, Pettyan said.
"Wet products prepared with GMO-free ingredients and clean labels are definitely on trend—especially those that are made in the United States," Pettyan added.
Along with a focus on food safety, the demands for knowledge about sourcing come from the trends being seen in food for human consumption, according to insiders.
"As pet parents shop for their dog the same way they shop for the rest of the family, there's a growing interest in responsibly sourced ingredients," Smith said.
She cited grass-fed beef and free-range chicken as examples of the responsibly sourced ingredients consumers seek.
Managing the Message
While dog owners generally know canned and wet foods are available, there remains a great need for consultations and education at the store level.
"It's important for retailers to take a consultative role and point out options [dog owners] might overlook," said Adrian Pettyan, CEO and co-founder of Caru Pet Food Co. in Vero Beach, Fla.
Jilliann Smith, director of communications at Merrick Pet Care in Amarillo, Texas, agreed.
"With the range of options available across the wet food category, it's important that we help educate customer partners and pet parents about the product benefits as well as the different usage options, [like] the different ways a pet parent could use a new wet product as a topper or an occasional treat," she said.
Dispelling myths about wet foods for dogs has been an education focus for some retailers.
"A lot of our customers still feel that wet food is inferior to kibble," said Darrel Day, owner of Dog Gone Holistic, which has two stores in Florida. "We also have a fair number of customers say that if they start feeding wet foods, their dog will get fat."
Caitlin Jones, manager of Nooga Paws in Chattanooga, Tenn., said most customers have incorrect ideas about wet food, often thinking it's "bad for [the dog's] teeth or makes the dog gain too much weight."
To combat the misinformation, both retailers said they strive to educate their customers about the benefits of wet food.
"We're educating our customers to help them better understand that wet food can actually be better—lower in carbs, more limited ingredient and typically less processed—than kibble," Day said.
Jones said she tells dog owners that "the more moisture in your dog's diet and mouth, the better the good bacteria, which equals cleaner mouths and less dental cleanings."
Manufacturers play an important role in consumer education, retailers said. Manufacturers that offer easy-to-follow online training programs, helpful customer service lines, consumer advertising in print and digital, and in-store training and advocacy are helpful, retailers reported. Companies that create engaging social media messaging and partner with pet influencers are also effective in getting out the message about wet diets.
"In general, manufacturers are providing much more educational materials than ever before," Day said. "And they are providing samples, which in independent pet is key to getting customers to try something new."
Regina Crane, co-owner of All American Pets, which has two stores in Baltimore, added that manufacturer-provided coupons that help customers save money help get wet food into pet owners' hands so they can experience the difference.
4 WAYS TO MAKE WET DIETS STAND OUT
To keep sales ringing in the wet pet food category, industry insiders offered four key merchandising techniques for independent pet product retailers.
1. Highlight unique and limited offerings
Some companies make "limited or seasonal" cans, which Nooga Paws in Chattanooga, Tenn., displays by the counter, said manager Caitlin Jones.
"This gives people who may not even think to pass the wet food aisles a chance to see a wet food can and ask questions," she said.
Bill Shaner, managing partner and CEO at PetGuard in Sewickley, Pa., recommended dedicating an endcap or the store window to highlight popular or up-and-coming wet food lines and rotating it every month.
2. Rotate specials
"Run BOGO [buy one, get one] or Buy 2, Get 1 promos to entice customers to give it a try," said Darrel Day, owner of Dog Gone Holistic, which has two stores in Florida. "This has been really effective for us when it comes to pouches."
3. Offer samples
"Samples are a great tool to get a specific brand in the hands of the pet owner," said Regina Crane, co-owner of All American Pets, which has two stores in Baltimore.
Day recommended getting free samples from the manufacturer's rep or periodically just giving an interested customer a can to try.
4. Group products
"Dedicate an endcap to showcase products that share a common selling point, such as 'Organic Certified' or 'Made in the USA,'" Shaner said. "Also, remember that wet foods are often purchased on impulse to add variety to a pet's diet."
Dog Gone Holistic displays a brand's wet and kibble together for the add-on sale. The cans are displayed in an eye-level band around the store, which draws attention to them, Day explained.
Nooga Paws offers a canned food aisle beside the dry food wall and sometimes places cans with their kibble counterparts to increase customers' awareness.

Mr. Savage very kindly sent me some photos of his work.
He writes:
A design and modelled portrait or the Queen by me, from a supplied photo from the Royal Mint.
This a superb portrait, presumably produced in 1985. Mr. Savage points out that Raphael Maklouf's portrait won the competition.

Graham Dyer OBE is Senior Research Curator of the Royal Mint (UK).
John Savage's portrait of Princess Diana for her death commemorative coin of 1999.
Mr. Savage writes:
Please note that the scallops within the outer rim of the design are my design, which is akin to other designs produced by the Royal Mint in my name.
In 1998 I was one of six artists to participate in a competition for a Diana Princess of Wales crown coin.
A 10 inch plaster model ready for production (no initials to be included). The Royal Mint selected my model.
I was one of two sculptors chosen to go forward by the Royal Mint Advisory Committee.
At the final stage, however, David Cornell's version was preferred.

John Savage is a retired English sculptor and numismatic artist.
John tells me that he is a Brexit person.
He is glad that this EEC design of his did not win the competition!
This is a design that John submitted for the Queen's silver wedding anniversary (1997).
John submitted this design for the 40th anniversary of the Queen's coronation (1993).
In 1985 Jersey celebrated its 40th anniversary of liberation from the Nazis.
Initially John Savage produced two designs of the Vega for the Royal Mint.
You can see his initials to the left of the ship.
The designs were not accepted, but no reason was given for this.
See: Jersey: Liberation Anniversary 1985.
See als: John Savage, Coin Designer.

At least half in jest, on the EEC membership design, it does seem like Britannia is desperately trying to paddle away from the hungry letters trying to gobble her up, while she is already surrounded by their circle of stars.
An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

The obverse portrait of the Queen, the portrait of her on horseback and the double portrait are of good quality. The portrait of Princess Diana is too, although I do not understand why there was chosen to depict Diana wearing the headscarf. That was an odd choice. The Jersey design is much better than the one that was used on the issued coin. Only his EEC design is of poor quality.


As you are aware Joan and I have just returned back from UK and looking forwardto our bowls and decent weather. I believe at times the weather has been indifferent. This has been good for our illfated green and is looking a little more encouraging with grass growing enough to have a couple of trims. I am sure you are all looking forward to playing on it when the time is right.
First in the frame was the Ladies Charity Triples held on the 7thJanuary against La Mata B.C. played at ALBC for obvious reasons.Well done ladies winning three games and losing one with an overal winning shot difference of eleven shots.
ALBC Drawn Rinks Knockout, the first club competition of the year commenced on Monday 10th January. Only eight teams compared with last years fourteen teams played the combination first round/quarter final in the morning. This was followed in the afternoon by The Semi-finals completing the competition by playing the Final on Friday morning. It was a great shame that more members did not take part, achieving competition experience; however the members who did take part played some very impressive bowls.
The two Semi-finals on Monday afternoon were high quality games. The first featured a team comprising of John Fitzgerald, John Burgess, Ken Sykes and Chris Ewer against Les Pratchett, Paul Fitzhugh, Eieleen Pheoix and Christine Fitzgerald. Unfortunately for Les's team, John's was on fire and won easily.
The second game was a lot closer between our captain, Jim Pike, Graham Clough, Lynn Burgess and Sue Mannall taking on Colin Wright, Eddie Abrahams, Pat Deacon and John Pheonix. An exciting game where both sides played extremely well was won on the last end by Jim's team.
All members now looked forward to on paper to a very good Final. John Fitzgerald's team started aggressively taking six shots on the first two ends and continued to put pressure on Jim's team throughout, having no answer to the onslaught, with John and his team winning comfortably.
Our first open competition of the year, the Los Gallardos Trophy, was played on Thursday 20th and Friday 21st January, involving twelve teams of fours, including a team from La Mata. This was played in a round-robin format of ten ends per game, split into two groups. The semi-finals played between the winners of group one versus runners up of group two and winners of group twoand runners up of group one. This ended up with a Final between John Mannall,Sue Mannall, John Burgess,Lynn Burgess against the more experienced team of Jim Pike,Les Pratchett,John Compton, Ann Tuplin. Unfortunately for John's team, Jim and his merry group were on fire and won easily.Thanks go to Anthony and Shirley Jackson who sponsored the competition finalists. First prize 80 Euros and for the runner ups 40 Euros. Once again thanks to Maureen Atkins for assisting Jim in completing the score cards.
The Ladies Jackson Cup and .the mens Parsons Trophy pairs, the last club competitions, of the month comenced on Monday 25th. The men started the competitiom in the morning battling their first round, followed by the ladies in the afternoon. Friday morning on 29th the mens quarter finals took place. This then left the both men and ladies Semi finals to be played in the afternoon, completing the competition on Saturday 30th with the Final.
In the Men's Final it was nip and tuck until the sixteenth end when Dave Allen and Tony Mullen were one shot ahead, only for Colin Wright and Roy Tonkin fighting back on the last two ends, but were unable to overcome Dave and Tony's lead putting fresh names on the Trophy winning by two shots.
A simular game was played in the Ladies Final when on the twelth end Shelagh Allen and Cath Patrick lost the lead to Maureen Atkins and Patsy Tonkin who took six shots, then followed by two more shots on the next end. Unfotunately they were unable to substain this pressure and didn't score any further with Cath and Shelagh taking a well deserved win to take the championship.
Before I complete, the sad news of Ray Herrity was given to me by Siobhan last Friday 29th. Unfortunately cancer has returned in his throat and an operation will be carried out as soon as on removing his voice box. I am sure you will all share with me your prayers and thoughts for a sucessful operation tand look forward to Ray and Siobhan returning to the fold. If you want to keep in touch with the progress of Ray they would appreciate that you did this through their son Cormac on cherrity@abcokovex.com or by phone on 00353872303049.

Holzheim ist ein Stadtteil der Stadt Neuss mit knapp 8000 Einwohnern. Auf der ehemaligen NATO-Raketenstation ist heute die Langen-Foundation angesiedelt. Zudem befindet sich die Museumsinsel "Stiftung Insel Hombroich" in Holzheim. Die Neusser Skihalle liegt gegenüber dem Kloster Kreitz am Ortsrand von Holzheim.

Geographische Lage
Holzheim liegt im Südwesten der Stadt Neuss und erstreckt sich mit seinen Außenbezirken vom linken Erftufer im Osten bis zur A46 im Nordwesten. Im Süden grenzt Holzheim an die Außenbezirke der Stadt Grevenbroich, im Norden an den Neusser Stadtteil Reuschenberg.

Zu den Außenbezirken von Holzheim gehört das kleine Dorf Minkel bestehend aus Minkel-Lepp, Minkel 1, Minkel 2. Diese befinden sich tiefer gelegen in der Erftniederung.
Auch Hombroich/Süd, Hombroich/Nord, Eppinghoven, Gruissem/Ost und Kreitz gehören zu Holzheim.

Geschichte

Holzheim kann auf eine über 1200 Jahre währende Geschichte zurückblicken. Am 2. Mai 801 verkaufte ein Betto dem Abt Liudger von Werden/Ruhr seinen Hof bei dem Dorf Holtheim, das damals im Gau Nievenheim lag. Die katholische Pfarrei St. Martinus wurde 1320/23 erstmals erwähnt. Im Mittelalter gehörte Holzheim zum kurkölnischen Amt Liedberg. Von der ehemaligen Burg Erprath zwischen Holzheim und Weckhoven ist nur noch eine Motte vorhanden. Ursprünglich soll sich hier ein römischer Wachturm befunden haben.

Im Jahre 1794 besetzten französische Revolutionstruppen Holzheim. Es wurde die selbständige Mairie Holzheim gebildet, die zum Kanton Neuss im Département de la Roer gehörte. Nach dem Wiener Kongress kam Holzheim an das Königreich Preußen. 1816 entstand die Bürgermeisterei Holzheim, die bis 1853 von der Bürgermeisterei Grefrath mitverwaltet wurde. 1927 wurde die Bürgermeisterei Holzheim in Amt Holzheim umbenannt. 1935 erfolgte die Eingemeindung der Gemeinde Grefrath nach Holzheim, das sich nun Gemeinde Holzheim nannte. Sie hatte eine Fläche von 14,83 km² und umfasste die Ortschaften Holzheim, Minkel, Gruissem, Kreitz, Grefrath, Dirkes, Lanzerath, Röckrath.

Am 5. September 1937 kam es im Bereich des Holzheimer Bahnhofs zu einem schweren Zugunglück, dem Eisenbahnunfall von Holzheim, bei dem 19 Menschen starben. Die Insassen des Zuges befanden sich auf dem Weg nach Kevelaer. Seit 2007 erinnert ein Gedenkstein am Bahnhof an das Unglück.

Im Frühjahr 1945 besetzten amerikanische Truppen die Ortschaften.

Der letzte Bürgermeister der Gemeinde Holzheim war Georg Becker (CDU) und sein Stellvertreter Willibald Steinlein (CDU). Der letzte Gemeindedirektor war Robert Labonte und sein allgemeiner Vertreter Peter Zimmermann. Am 1. Januar 1975 wurde die Gemeinde Holzheim in die Stadt Neuss eingegliedert. Obwohl Holzheim heute ein Stadtteil von Neuss ist, erkennt man doch immer noch die sehr eigenständige Struktur des Ortes. So hatte der Ort bis in die 1970er Jahre ein eigenes Krankenhaus. Vorhanden ist noch das alte Rathaus der Gemeinde. Typisch für Holzheim sind die vielen kleinen Gassen, welche die Straßen zusätzlich verbinden und den Ort wie kleine Adern durchziehen.

Einwohnerentwicklung

 6. Juni 1961: 6054
 30. Juni 1964: 6373
 27. Mai 1970: 6831 im Ort
 30. Juni 1974: 8573 (Altgemeinde Holzheim mit Grefrath)
 30. Juni 2006: 7841 (Stadtteil Holzheim)
 30. Juni 2007: 7756
 30. Juni 2008: 7703
 30. Juni 2011: 7628

Politik
Als ehemals selbständige Gemeinde besitzt Holzheim einen eigenen Bezirksausschuss, der ein Initiativrecht bezüglich aller Gegebenheiten hat, die den Stadtteil betreffen, und bei allen wichtigen Angelegenheiten angehört werden muss. Der Bezirksausschuss besteht seit der Eingliederung im Jahre 1975.

In ihm haben die CDU 9 Sitze, die SPD 4 Sitze, die FDP 3 Sitze, Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, so wie Die Linke und die UWG-Zentrum jeweils 1 Sitz.

Kultur und Sehenswürdigkeiten

Kunstwerke
In Holzheim stehen einige Skulpturen im öffentlichen Raum.

 Der Schütze, eine der für Anatol Herzfeld typischen, metallenen "Wächter" Figuren. Der Künstler hatte einige Jahrzehnte sein Atelier in der Museumsinsel Hombroich, bis er 2019 verstarb.
 Das Kreuz, ein behauener Monolit an der Kirche Sankt Martinus, ebenfalls ein Kunstwerk von Anatol Herzberg
 Die Trauernde, eine steinerne Skulptur an der Kirche, von Josef Neuhaus, einem Neusser Künstler

Museen

 Das Museum Insel Hombroich entstand im Jahre 1982, als Karl-Heinrich Müller an der Erftaue im Südosten von Holzheim einen ehemaligen Park aufkaufte, um dort dezentral Exponate seiner Sammlung ausstellen zu können. Diesem Projekt schlossen sich weitere Künstler wie unter anderem Erwin Heerich, Gotthard Graubner und Anatol Herzfeld an.
 Raketenstation Hombroich: 1994 wurde von Karl-Heinrich Müller eine ehemalige NATO-Raketenstation in der Nähe des Museums Insel Hombroich aufgekauft. Dort sind unter anderem Skulpturen, Ateliers, Veranstaltungshallen und das Internationale Institut für Biophysik vorhanden. Der Dichter Thomas Kling lebte von 1994 bis zu seinem Tod im Jahre 2005 auf der Raketenstation.
 2004 wurde das von Tadao Andō entworfene Ausstellungshaus der Langen Foundation auf der Raketenstation eröffnet. Dort ist die Sammlung des Unternehmer-Ehepaars Viktor und Marianne Langen mit dem Schwerpunkt japanische Kunst und Malerei der westlichen Moderne ausgestellt.
 Das Feld-Haus – Museum für Populäre Druckgrafik ist eine Dependance des Clemens-Sels-Museums in Neuss und seit 2010 auch im Kunstraum Hombroich angesiedelt.
 Die Skulpturenhalle von Thomas Schütte ist eine weitere Ausstellungshalle, die südlich an die Raketenstation angrenzend 2016 erbaut wurde.

Das Museum Insel Hombroich und die Raketenstation verbinden Kunst mit Natur. So sind die Museumsbauten auf der Insel über eine Auen-, Park- und Wiesenfläche verteilt. Die Raketenstation schafft passend zur Geschichte eine Begegnung mit rauerer und zurückhaltenderer Naturgestaltung.

Bauwerke
 Die katholische Kirche St. Martinus wurde im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstört, jedoch blieb der Glockenturm vollständig erhalten. Die Kirchenglocken aus dem 14. Jahrhundert gehören zu den ältesten der Umgebung. Nach dem Krieg wurde das Kirchenschiff wieder vollständig aufgebaut.
 Moderne Architektur findet man im Bereich des Museums Insel Hombroich und der ehemaligen Raketenstation. Hombroich ist ein ehemaliger Rittersitz, dessen Herrenhaus aus dem 18. Jahrhundert stammt.
 Die Benediktinerinnen vom Heiligsten Sakrament sind seit 1899 im Kloster Kreitz beheimatet.
 Gegenüber der St.-Martinus-Kirche befindet sich das ehemalige Krankenhaus, dort ist heute das Bundesamt der Deutsche Pfadfinderschaft Sankt Georg (DPSG) ansässig.
 Im Norden Holzheims befinden sich auch die Überreste des Strategischen Bahndamms, einer nie fertiggestellten Eisenbahnstrecke zwischen dem Ruhrgebiet und der deutsch-französischen Grenze. Er befindet sich mit einer Länge von 13 km zwischen Holzheim und Rommerskirchen. Heute ist er ein Fuß- Reit- und Radweg mit der Qualität eines Bodendenkmals. Beeindruckend sind die Dimensionen der Brücken für die kreuzungsfreie Überführung der Straßen und Feldwege. Diese Bauwerke sind ebenso wie der mächtige Eisenbahndamm seit nunmehr 80 Jahren ungenutzt. An seinem nördlichen Ende liegt die Insel Hombroich.
 Im Südosten der Ortschaft befindet sich Kloster Eppinghoven mit der Eppinghover Mühle (), direkt an der Erft. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein ehemaliges Kloster, das 1214 in Kaarst gegründet, aber einige Jahre später hier an die Erft verlegt worden war. Zunächst waren in dem Kloster Zisterzienserinnen. Seit dem 17. Jahrhundert diente es bis zu seiner Aufhebung während der Säkularisation im Jahre 1802 als adeliges Damenstift. Die heutigen Gebäude – eine Klostermühle – wurden im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert errichtet. Das äußere Portal aus dem Jahre 1710 besitzt eine Madonna und ein Wappen mit Inschrift der Äbtissin Anna Margaretha von Randerath. Das Hauptgebäude wurde im Jahre 1695 errichtet und verfügt über ebenfalls über eine Inschrift mit dem Wappen der Äbtissin Agnes Dorothea Elisabeth von Landsberg.

Sport
 Der örtliche Sportverein ist die Holzheimer Sportgemeinschaft.  Diese trainiert auf der örtlichen Sportanlage und mit der Kanuabteilung am Bootshaus an der Erft in Minkel. Sportler der Kanuriege der HSG erlangten bei zwei Olympischen Sommerspielen in Japan und Mexiko mehrere Gold- und Silbermedaillen.

View Joanna Angel's Media:
In the often cut-and-paste world of adult entertainment, Joanna Angel stands apart as one of the industry's unique stars. She was born on December 25, 1980 in Boston, Massachusetts. Her shy, introverted childhood made her the object of adolescent jabs and barbs, though the experience steeled her for what would become her academic pursuits and her career aspirations. After graduating from high school at the tender age of 17, Joanna enrolled at Rutgers University where she graduated with a degree in English and a minor in Film Studies. At age 18, she lost her virginity in what proved to be a rather cathartic experience. From that point on, Joanna's taste for sex only grew larger and more diverse.
After graduation, Joanna moved to the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, NY and formed her own website, BurningAngel, allowing her to further explore her blossoming sexuality. Armed with rock and roll rebelliousness and a tiny, ravishing body doubling as a canvas for her many tattoos, Joanna quickly forged a niche that would later come to be called "alt porn."
Joanna has written, produced, directed and starred in films available exclusively through BurningAngel and is a former contract star for VCA Pictures. She has been featured in numerous magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times. In 2006, AVN nominated Joanna for both the "Best New Starlet" and "Best Actress" awards, and she eventually took home the prize for "Most Outrageous Sex Scene" for her appearance in Re-Penetrator. Two years later, she was recognized by XRCO, which named her a winner for Best On-Screen Chemistry with her co-star/real life boyfriend James Deen. Off-screen, she shared her sexual savvy in a sex advice column that briefly appeared in Spin magazine and in a chapter of the book Naked Ambition: Women Pornographers and How They Are Changing the Sex Industry. She appears on the Adult Swim comedy series "Children's Hospital." Her crossover appeal led to a 2009 AVN nomination for Jenna Jameson Crossover Star of the Year, while her many talents have been recognized with award nominations for her screenplays, direction, and even original songs in her films.
There is no doubt that Joanna Angel is a special talent and her star will continue to rise. As the Queen of Alt Porn, she's already earned a spot in adult cinema history.

As a business owner, it's important that you fully utilize the product – and services – you've just invested in. If you do, you'll find that the seven steps to efficiency won't be daunting at all. In fact, you'll probably already have them covered!

Kinder und Jugendliche mit chronischen Erkrankungen, sowie körperlichen oder geistigen Beeinträchtigung, bedürfen einer ganz besonderen Pflege und Zuwendung. Leider werden die betroffenen Eltern immer öfter vor finanzielle Hürden gestellt und sind nicht in der Lage, ihren Kindern die notwendige Versorgung zu bieten. Der Grund dafür ist, dass die erforderlichen Therapiemaßnahmen oft nur noch zu einem kleinen Teil oder gar nicht von den Krankenkassen bzw. aus öffentlicher Hand finanziert werden. Dadurch vergrößert sich natürlich die Sorge und Angst der betroffenen Mütter und Väter, die auch ohne diese immense Zusatzbelastung unter hohem emotionalem Druck stehen.
Aus diesem Grund hat es sich die AK Sponsoring-Agentur zur Aufgabe gemacht, mittels der Initiative Kinder- und Jugendförderungen Helfer zu mobilisieren um die betroffenen Familien zu unterstützen. Unser kleines, aber höchst engagiertes Team ist bemüht, den Familien mit Lebensmittelpunkt in Österreich ein wenig Entlastung und kleine Freuden im Alltag zu ermöglichen.
Um diese Ziele zu verwirklichen betreiben wir soziales Crowdfunding mittels Förderungen / Sponsoring und bewerben die laufenden Projekte durch cleveres Online- und Telefonmarketing. Wir laden Sie alle dazu ein, einen Beitrag zu diesem wichtigen Vorhaben mittels Ihrer Förderung zu leisten! Ganz nach dem Motto: Gemeinsam machen wir es möglich!

"When Jamie saw him throw the baby, saw Van throw the little baby, saw Van throw his little sister Nin, then they moved."
What Jamie Saw is a 1996 Newbery Honor Book written by Carolyn Coman. What Jamie Saw is a heart-wrenching story of a boy's struggle with abuse and depression. Set in New Hampshire, it follows a poor woman and her two children as they fight to start a new life after escaping an abusive situation.
The explosive beginning of the story starts a whirlwind of emotions and events. At the start of the story, an abusive boyfriend took out his anger on Patty's youngest child Nin. Because of his actions they moved out of his house, and with the help of her friend Earl, they found a tiny trailer. The story follows the feelings of Jamie through his fear of abandonment, physical sickness, and his effort to protect his mother and sister.
By the end of the tale, Jamie begins to realize that all he really need is his family and as long as they were together, he didn't have to be afraid. His emotions take you for a ride through his anger and honest words to describe his feelings and his fear of abuse and abandonment.
The plot development of What Jamie Saw ignites in a heart-wrenching look at child abuse starting with the first sentence. " When Jamie saw him throw the baby, when Jamie saw Van throw his baby sister Nin, then they moved." With one sentence Carolyn Coman explains the topic of the story and how it will unfold.

Last week, the Nashville Predators got a little payback as they picked up wins at home against Vancouver and Boston, then went on the road and grabbed another two points after falling behind in Colorado.
What all three of these games had in common is that the "better team" came out on the losing end, and a sluggish, yet occasionally inspired Preds team managed to grind out victories when you thought all had been lost.
The Boston game stood out, as rookie goaltender Juuse Saros stopped 35 of 36 shots (vs. Nashville's 19) for a 2-1 regulation wins. Then, with mechanical difficulties beyond the team's control, they arrived in Colorado just hours before a Saturday afternoon affair against perhaps the weakest team in the league. With the Avs grabbing a 2-0 lead, the Preds dealt from the bottom of the deck until they found three aces, and turned the corner with a 3-2 win.
Would momentum sustain them on this five game road trip?
Tuesday night the team met the Canucks for the second time in eight days. At Bridgestone, the Preds took a 1-0 lead into the final minute of the third period, before surrendering the tying goal. Nashville did go on to win in dramatic fashion in overtime, but eight days later goals were impossible to come by on the other side of the Canadian border.
Actually, it looked like the Predators had scored first, when Derek Grant, a big centerman acquired via the waiver wire from the Buffalo Sabres, appeared to have put the puck past Vancouver goaltender Ryan Miller, but after lengthy review, it was determined the referee had "intended" to blow the whistle, and the tally was nullified. That being said, the Preds could never sustain enough offense to get one to count, and Vancouver put in a single goal for their 1-0 home win, ending the Predators modest three game winning streak.
Let's have a look at where the Preds sit in the standings, and the games they will play this week as they continue their road trip.
Currently fourth in the Central Division, the Predators are 20-17-7, good for 47 points. Minnesota paces the division with 61 points in 43 games. Chicago also has 61 points, but has played four more games. St. Louis, with 45 games played has 51 points. So, a win tonight for Nashville, coupled with a Blues loss could move the team to within two points of that coveted third guaranteed post-season spot. Of course, St. Louis continues to have played that one extra game to this point.
In the Pacific Division, Anaheim holds a two-point lead over Edmonton (59 to 57) with both teams having played 47 games. San Jose, with a big win last night over Los Angeles, has 56 points, but has played two fewer games. These three teams should continue to be in a dogfight for the top three spots the rest of the way. Calgary at 51 points, and both Los Angeles and Vancouver, with 48 points are part of that wild card chase that includes Nashville, as well as Dallas and Winnipeg, who each sport 46 points to date. Scary times as it looks like six teams will fight for a wild card spot over the second half of the season.
As for Nashville, they come into Calgary following their shutout loss to Vancouver. The Flames hold a four-point lead on Nashville, but the Preds, having played three fewer games have the better percentage at this point. Calgary has had an up and down season, as have so many of the wild card contenders, Preds included. Winners of six consecutive games beginning in late-November and coasting through into the second week of December, the Flames have been inconsistent ever since. They come off a solid 5-2 win over Florida on Tuesday, but they dropped four of six prior to the Panthers game.
Goaltending remains questionable for Calgary, as they signed free agent Brian Elliott to a large deal in the off season, but it's been back-up Chad Johnson who has received the bulk of the play due to Elliott's inconsistencies. Goaltending has not been an issue for the Predators as both Pekka Rinne and the rookie, Saros give the team a chance to win on a nightly basis.
After Calgary, the team plays tomorrow night in Edmonton, where Connor McDavid recently notched his 100th NHL point in just his 92nd game, making him the fourth fastest player to reach said milestone. Edmonton, along with Columbus and Minnesota, has been one of the most-improved teams in the NHL, and will give Nashville all it can handle offensively.
With key Preds defensemen P.K. Subban, Roman Josi and Petter Granberg all on the injured list, the team has been forced to move players into positions of prominence with varying results. Newly acquired Brad Hunt, a waiver acquisition from St. Louis, who had his NHL beginnings in Edmonton may see action as soon as tonight in an effort to bolster the offense from the blueline. After a Sunday night contest in Minnesota, facing a Wild team that has won twice at Bridgestone, the Preds return home for a Tuesday night game against the Buffalo Sabres, who feature sophomore sensation Jack Eichel.
Lots of hockey coming up, and lots of chance to gain ground on that post-season playoff hunt. Let's hope we see some exciting hockey from our men of gold! Go Preds!

Yes it is, you undoubtedly already know that WiFi exists, there's a similar (but still somewhat experimental) technique called LiFi
It is no surprise that light can be used to transfer information. Light and radio waves are both EM (Electro Magnetic) waves. Light is "just" at a higher frequency and our eyes are sensitive to it.
Also, fibre-optic cables have been in use for a long time and also use light for transporting information.
How to learn: just start reading some books and browse online. Also youtube might have some videos explaining things. Just follow your interest. This is a broad subject and how deep you want to go depends on your interests and what you need. To really understand how for example Television works (and be able to explain it properly) could take years.

A: Eventhough this is not the right place to ask this question, nevertheless there is no single right place to ask it anyway :-)
This is because, the TV and radio devices are at the interconnection of multidues of technologies (electronics, electromagnetics, communications, multimedia, signal processing, etc.), hence no single one of them can yield the full answer.
Information transmission, apparently involves two entities: first is the information and the second is the transmission.
Engineering treatment of information is mathematically presented within the Information Theory branches of communication system theory of electrical engineering.
This mathematical treatment involves the quantification of information (in terms of Entropy bits) through a probabilitistic / statistical characterisation (in terms of probability density and distribution functions) of the sources that generate them. This could be analog or digital.
This stage involves source coding (representation of information in terms of discrete entities - codewords) which turns into a data compression scheme to reduce the number of bits (average bitrate) necessary to represent a given source.
This stage also involves channel coding which increases the bitrate to make them more robust against channel transmission errors; aka error correction coding.
This stage also includes cryptology to make the transmitted data secure, if needed.
Then the transmission should be analysed:
The mathematical treatment of transmission is handled in the modulation theory of communications systems which deals with various methods of moduation and demodulation structures to transmit a given message signal under least amount of bandwidth, least available power or least error or least distortion conditions. This again can be analog such as AM/DSB/DSB-SC/SSB/VSB/FM/PM/QAM or digital such as ASK/PSK/FSK/QAM etc.
All these are mathematical treatments. However the radio and TV equipments are physical devices and thus require electrical and electronic components to realize those operations.
The most notable of such physical hardware will be the antennas to propagate and receive RF (radio frequency) waves that carry the modulated message signals.
Once these waves are adequately captured, next hardware would be the tuner which would isolate a selected communication channel (simply the TV-radio channel) from the rest by tuning into it using PLL (phase locked loop) , SAW (surface acoustic wave) devices and IF, LF mixers.
Mixers are oscillators that multiply a given signal to change their base frequencies. From RF to IF from IF to LF. Or backwards at the broadcasting transmitters.
Finally digital decoding of the source data and various tasks are handled at the decoder ICs... Note that today's practice is digital video and audio.
So yes, you can use different means and techniques to carry the information contained in the source message signal.

Internationally celebrated as one of literature's most gifted stylists, Lisa Moore returns with her third story collection, a soaring chorus of voices, dreams, loves, and lives. Taking us from the Fjord of Eternity to the streets of St. John's and the swamps of Orlando, these stories show us the timeless, the tragic, and the miraculous hidden in the underbelly of our everyday lives. A missing rock god may have jumped a cruise ship — in the Arctic. A grieving young woman may live next to a serial rapist. A man's last day on earth replays in the minds of others in a furiously sensual, heartrending fugue. Something for Everyone is Moore at the peak of her prowess — she seems bent on nothing less than rewiring the circuitry of the short story itself.
Lisa Moore is the acclaimed author of the novels Caught, February, and Alligator. Caught was a finalist for the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize and the Scotiabank Giller Prize and is now a major CBC television series starring Allan Hawco. February won CBC's Canada Reads competition, was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, and was named a New Yorker Best Book of the Year and a Globe and Mail Top 100 Book. Alligator was a finalist for the Scotia Bank Giller Prize, won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize (Canada and the Caribbean region), and was a national bestseller. Her story collection Open was a finalist for the Scotia Bank Giller Prize and a national bestseller. Her most recent work is a collection of short stories called Something for Everyone. Lisa lives in St. John's, Newfoundland.
PRAISE FOR LISA MOORE AND SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
"The stories in Lisa Moore's collection, Something for Everyone, pulsate with raw energy and a fierce, searching intelligence. In a series of unconventional tales that explode off the page, Moore ushers her reader into a familiar but fractured and anything-but-straightforward reality. Lisa Moore writes of quotidian lives in crisis. Her characters' anxieties mirror our own: family, love, employment, finances. But from these commonplace lives she conjures spellbinding mini-dramas, drawing us in from each story's opening line, generating great suspense and fully engaging our sympathies. Throughout, the writing is vibrant, uninhibited and packed with sensual detail. Moore acknowledges the beauty of nature and the human capacity for kindness; she is no stranger to the essential comedy of the human condition. But never does she shy away from the dark undercurrents of her characters' lives. Something for Everyone is an important book by a major talent working at the height of her considerable powers, an author who isn't afraid to stretch the boundaries of her art and who pursues her singular aesthetic vision in an uncompromising and wildly entertaining manner." — Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award Jury Citation
"Unexpected events, memorable characters, and a reverence for struggling make this collection anything but ordinary." — Pique Newsmagazine
"Lisa Moore brings a particular wizardry to whatever she touches, but her command of the short story is such that when she bends its rules, we look at old ideas in new ways . . . The stories in Something for Everyone are like prizes in pass-the-parcel. They tie up neatly, but they're loose enough so that when you move the package, the corner edge tears, and the wrapping opens up like a hole in a pair of nylons, and you realize there are a lot more layers underneath that need to be peeled back and teased apart." — Overcast
"Moore takes her characters to some undeniably dark places in these stories, though the book is never entirely devoid of humour or hope. And there is abiding joy in the prose, which is lithe and tensile in equal measure. There is astonishment here, and grit, and beauty that is close to breathtaking." — Quill & Quire, STARRED REVIEW
"[A] testimony to her absolute mastery of technique . . . Without question, Moore is a writer of great social conscience and compassion." — Toronto Star
"In Moore's most diverse and powerful collection yet, each story has a role to play in highlighting the most fascinating hidden aspects of our everyday lives." — Toronto Life

"Loneliness is hard to write about without become maudlin or cliched. But Moore never errs on the side of sentimentality . . . There's an economy in Moore's style that shows us how a once vibrant life can be whittled down by pain and loneliness.

"Moore deftly weaves together the present . . . and the past, evoking memory and grief in pitch-perfect detail." — The New Yorker

You'll be surprised at this novel's ability to uplift." — Ottawa Citizen

"There is no one else in the country who can touch Lisa Moore's elegant rendering of language . . . She's distinctive, and what she does with language is nothing less than dazzling, and then there is her uncanny ability to inhabit every pore and sinew of her endearingly human characters . . . What she does with language is pure art." — Salty Ink
"Complex yet clear, compelling and profound, the style is a joy to read and Lisa Moore's story-spinning gift is great. Her people become our people, her richly described settings our own." — Atlantic Books Today
"Canadian writer Lisa Moore's second novel solidifies her reputation as a gifted writer whose prose exhibits an urgency, precision, and sensitivity worthy of the legacy of Virginia Woolf." — The World
"Moore, whose previous novel, Alligator, won a Commonwealth Writers' Prize, renders sensations with the precision of a Vermeer." — Booklist
"Moore has established with her second novel a distinctive voice in Canadian literature. Language in Moore's capable hands is often deceptively spare, revealing for the careful reader layers of acute insight. Her writing in February is characterized by a raw, stream-of-consciousness intensity." — Literary Review of Canada

Bitcoin: Taproot has been launched
The Speedy Trial of Taproot has been initiated on Bitcoin.
On Saturday, May 1st, the last adjustment of Bitcoin's difficulty took place, kicking off the Taproot Speedy Trial.
Therefore the first activation phase for what is in fact the largest Bitcoin update in years has been initiated. As of today, miners who want to adopt Taproot can signal their support by including special data in the blocks they mine, called "signal bits".
If 90% of the blocks mined during one of the current or upcoming eras of the Bitcoin difficulty include the Taproot signal bit, the update will be activated permanently in November this year.
Many miners, however, have already pledged their support for Taproot, so reaching the 90% threshold is probably only a matter of time. It is estimated that it could happen as early as the second half of May.
Currently, according to the taproot.watch website, the blocks containing the signal bit are still few, but seem to be growing. The current epoch of Bitcoin's difficulty (the 338th) is expected to end between 13 and 15 May, and from then on any epoch could be the one to cross the threshold.
The Taproot update of Bitcoin
The aim of Taproot is to change the way Bitcoin scripts operate. In particular, combining Taproot with Schnorr signatures will increase the level of anonymity of on-chain transactions, and improve complex transactions.
The Taproot update will make it possible to publicly hide the moving parts of a complex Bitcoin transaction, which can then appear to observers as a normal single transaction.
In addition, again in combination with Schnorr signatures, Taproot could also increase efficiency in the execution of complex transactions, because it will reduce the amount of data to be recorded in the blockchain, while also increasing the number of transactions that can be recorded per block and reducing fees.
What is expected is that Bitcoin will experience significant improvements in terms of privacy, scalability and security, and encourage multi-signature solutions.

Olive Jean Dunn (1 de septiembre de 1915 - 12 de enero de 2008) fue una matemática y estadística estadounidense, y profesora de bioestadística en la Universidad de California en Los Ángeles (UCLA). Describió los métodos para calcular intervalos de confianza y también codificó la aplicación de la corrección de Bonferroni a los intervalos de confianza.  Es autora del libro, Basic Statistics: A Primer for the Biomedical Sciences publicada en 1977.

Educación y trayectoria
Dunn estudió Matemáticas en la UCLA, recibió su licenciatura en 1936 y su maestría en 1951. Obtuvo un doctorado en Matemáticas en 1956 también en UCLA, supervisada por Paul G. Hoel.

El título de su tesis doctoral fue Estimation problems for dependent regression.

En 1956, fue nombrada profesora asistente de estadística en la Universidad Estatal de Iowa State College. Dunn regresó a UCLA en 1959 como profesora asistente de Bioestadística y profesora asistente de Medicina preventiva y Salud, y más tarde se convirtió en profesora titular y sirvió en ese cargo hasta su jubilación. Asimismo, sirvió en los consejos editoriales de varias revistas.

Contribuciones a los métodos estadísticos
Algunos de los trabajos de 1958 y 1959 de Dunn condujeron a la conjetura de la desigualdad de correlación gaussiana, que solo fue probada por el matemático alemán Thomas Royen en 2014 y solo fue ampliamente reconocida como demostrada en 2017.

El trabajo de disertación doctoral de Dunn formó la base para su desarrollo continuo para métodos de intervalos de confianza en bioestadística y el desarrollo de un método para corregir pruebas múltiples.

La primera edición de su libro de texto, Basic statistics: a primer for the biomedical sciences, se publicó en 1977.  En ediciones posteriores fue coautora con otra profesora de UCLA, Virginia A. Clark. Dunn y Clark también son coautoras de Applied statistics: an analysis of variance and regression, que también tuvo ediciones varias, con Ruth M. Mickey uniéndose a ellas.

Honores
Dunn se convirtió en miembro de la American Statistical Association en 1968.  También fue miembro de la Asociación Estadounidense para el Avance de la Ciencia (AAAS por sus siglas en inglés) y la Asociación Estadounidse de Salud Pública.

En octubre de 1974, Dunn fue honrada como la «mujer de ciencia del año» de UCLA, que le fue otorgado por ser «una mujer sobresaliente que ha realizado contribuciones significativas en el campo de la ciencia».
