When the Stott Park Bobbin Mill was opened in 1835, a power source was required. This was provided by damming Finsthwaite Tarn, creating High Dam Tarn, and using the water to drive a 32-foot water wheel.
In 1858 the water wheel was replaced by a water turbine which required constant water pressure. This was provided by damming the outflow from High Dam to create Low Dam Tarn. High Dam stored the water and Low Dam regulated the pressure.
The two tarns were originally surrounded by heather-clad fells, the birch and oak coppice woodland was planted in the latter half of the 19th century to provide wood for the mill and for charcoal burning. The picturesque tarn is now fringed with scots pines and larches and has small rocky headlands.
Along with the surrounding woodland, it was purchased in 1973 by the Lake District Planning Board, to allow public access. A pleasant woodland footpath ascends to the Tarns from Finsthwaite village.

Stories of Power Tools and Tips
What Castaneda Taught me About the Warrior's Way
While at Todai-ji, the temple in the city of Nara, I was mesmerized looking at the largest Buddha ever built in bronze, when the concept of the "Warrior's Way" jolted my memory.
The Warrior's Way was the framework Carlos Castaneda used to describe living life with impeccability and purpose. It consists of a series of premises and behaviors to have direction in one's life, like experiencing meaningful relationships and acting with clear intentions.
Meaning, purpose, and direction were what my life was lacking when I met Castaneda. It was 1995, and I had decided to move from Argentina to the US to study this way of being, which became an integral part of my life.
The premises in the Warrior's Way include the impeccable use of one's attention for enhancing one's life, and specific behaviors to live life with vitality and daring, such as regular exercises, practices for enhancing the ability to focus and redirecting one's thoughts, cultivating inner silence, using food to develop one's perception and health, working with intention, and sharpening the physical body as the perceiver.
The memory of my first years under Castaneda's rigorous physical training flowed through my body as I was watching the Buddha.
I had arrived in Tokyo three days prior with my ten-year-old son, to join a couple of friends and a guide to do a 'mystical' journey visiting large temples in the main cities of Japan. We took a train from Kyoto to Nara to visit the Great Buddha Hall, which is the largest wooden structure in the world built to protect this Buddha.
I felt dizzy from the jetlag and the long hours we spent on trains from Tokyo to Mount Fuji to Kyoto. Nonetheless a feeling of wonder was growing in me. The trains were crowded and sometimes we waited in long lines. Eventually, they moved faster, holding a mood of respect and acknowledgment for the other.
All transportation showed up on time, and, unlike many cities with large volumes of tourism, no trash was visible anywhere. The streets of Kyoto were 'dressed' by the cherry blossom trees blooming, smelling sweet, like the first taste of ice cream. They exuded a pinkish-white color that looked like kindness. Japan, in my first impression, radiated life, purpose, and a mood of reverence that nurtured my soul. It resonated in me as the mood of a warrior.
After feeding the deer that roamed the grounds of Todai-ji, which are regarded as messengers of the gods, we passed the first gate of the temple. As I had done in the previous temples, I washed my hands and mouth from the wheel of the dragon.
A large pit with burning incense was the next step. I held the fire in the white candle and I placed it at the feet of the Buddha in gratitude for our Path with Heart community. The sunlight was entering the temple and I inhaled it through my mouth, as Shanti, my guide and a Mayan leader, taught me.
Each step towards the Buddha served to quiet my thoughts and moved my attention to a growing sentiment of vulnerability and amazement. As if every moment in my life had been built for me to arrive to Todai-ji and experience the majesty of the warrior. The words of Castaneda kept rushing fresh into my mind:
"A warrior must cultivate the feeling that he has everything needed for the extravagant journey that is his life. What counts for a warrior is being alive. Life in itself is sufficient, self-explanatory and complete. Therefore, one may say without being presumptuous that the experience of experiences is being alive." – Carlos Castaneda
I was alive, and aware. My son asked me if Buddha had been also a child, and what happened to him to become a Buddha. What did he do? he wondered. I an attempted to say something coherent to his age and level of understanding. He may have noticed my struggle because he interrupted my thinking and said: "I think I got it. Buddha just kept meditating."
We walked behind the Buddha and found a line of people "trying to pass through" a hole of the same size of the nostrils of the Buddha. People believe that if one got through the Buddha's nostrils, one was blessed with his breath. (See video)
We left the temple filled with reverence and gratefulness.
Castaneda used to tell me about his experiences with Kowayashi, a Japanese mentor he had, before meeting don Juan Matus, his spiritual teacher. He said that Kowayashi was the first one that taught him about a specific aspect of the Warrior's way: Living with simplicity. Castaneda was a master at that. Except for a chair, a couch and a TV, his house had no furniture, no paintings on the pale walls, no mirrors, no decorations.
There were large, clear spaces to practice movements and silence. In his closet, which I once peeked in, he had 2 pairs of jeans, a few t-shirts and 2 tailored suits. All of his cabinets had just a few items. There was breathable space everywhere through out the house, filled with purpose and silence.
My hostel room in Kyoto had two futons that we rolled during the day to set a small table on the tatami for snack and breakfast. The absence of objects and material belongings is what made the space hold a particular calm and peace. It was a reminder of living the beauty of simplicity and the purpose of strength knowing that "the experience of experiences is being alive."
One action I took when I got back to Los Angeles was to let go of extra material belongings. I am in this process now, creating spaces for silence to flow through

STAKK makes major staff cuts
Stakk Factory Limited has sacked almost all its staff, leaving only seven logistics staff in the company, one of its celebrity staff member's Facebook LIVE video (pictured) revealed last Friday.
The media company, which is backed by telcom giant PCCW's chairman Richard Li, already cut 24 IT staff, including its technical director, in June as part of the company's restructuring to lure more Chinese readers.
Friday's staff cut once again reflect its shift in priorities towards Chinese readers, and away from localised content.
A Stakk spokesman said that the company is in the process of restructuring to revamp its content, and that it will bring new experiences to its audience in the future.
Stakk, which targets young audiences through interesting video content, was first launched in April 2016. Its Facebook page currently has around 7.58 million followers on Facebook.


Debt in itself is not typically regarded as evil. Rather, it can be quite helpful – enabling you to delay repayment for luxuries enjoyed today, or to bring to life a business plan that otherwise you would not be fiscally capable of. But should you over-borrow and delay on repayments, then debt can quickly turn ugly – especially if your loan incorporates an interest component. Where debt obligations become too burdensome, you can seek relief, if you are an individual or corporation, through bankruptcy and insolvency regimes. But sovereigns that borrow are in a different position. In the sovereign debt context, the doctrine of pacta sunt servanda (pacts must be respected) reigns supreme. Other than this general rule, there are no other laws nor formal rules in dealing with sovereign debt or consequential defaults. What this means is that sovereigns who over-borrow have no recourse to bankruptcy or insolvency regimes by force of law. Rather, the existing system mandates that all sovereign debts are enforceable in perpetuity – from government to government, generation to generation, without regard to factors such as a nation's ability to repay, fairness, or other non-economic considerations.
Where a country spends more than it earns, it must either seek debt relief from its creditors, or enter into new loans to pay outstanding debt. The law does not provide relief. Many poor countries in Africa, Latin America, and Asia have spent recent decades servicing debt, and continue to do so. They are caught in a perpetual debt cycle. Countries in the Eurozone such as Greece are entering a similar cycle.
The issue of public debt cannot be separated from that of poverty reduction and human development since it forces a government to spend more on debt service than on serving its people.
Yet countries themselves do not acquire debt: the leaders that run them do. And where there is blatant irresponsibility on the part of the borrower and the lender in a sovereign debt arrangement to the detriment of the sovereign debtor's citizens, universal precepts of justice and morality suggest that the strict rule of pacta sunt servanda should be modified so that innocent citizens of future generations are not unfairly saddled with repressive debt. Given that much of the existing debt stock of developing countries was lent during the 1960s and 1970s to unsavory regimes, or corrupt leaders, or for projects which did nothing to benefit ordinary people and which, in fact, served to increase corruption and improper patronage, it is argued that sovereign debt should not always have to be repaid.
The doctrine of 'odious debts' seeks to address these concerns. The doctrine, in essence, purports to deny creditors who lend to borrower governments knowing that borrowed funds will not be used in the interests of the borrowing country's citizens the ability to seek repayment for such loans. Accordingly the doctrine seeks to inject ethical considerations into the sphere of international finance.
In my forthcoming book Sovereign Finance and the Poverty of Nations I set out a blueprint for elevating the odious debt doctrine into law. The proposal seeks to put in place systems and processes that are geared towards a clearer understanding of sovereigns and how they finance themselves. Unlike earlier scholarship, it focuses less on the nature of the borrowing government, and looks instead to the financier as the primary party to help avert odious debts. It puts in place a liability scheme which incentives a financier to make transparent information that it learns from a sovereign debtor. It purports a public registration system for sovereign contracts, and the imposition of positive duties on financiers who provide loans to sovereign borrowers. Financiers who comply gain greater confidence that their contracts will be upheld should disputes arise down the track. Underlying this proposal is the conviction that, with disclosure of information about public contracts, odious sovereign contracts will be less likely to arise. Therefore the focus is on opening access to information and providing the means and empowerment for the populace themselves to eradicate odious sovereign contracts.
Given the current world financial meltdown, it is envisaged that this new emphasis on transparency and accountability will resonate with any future regime for international financial regulation. Not only will increased transparency be critical to solving the specific problem of odious debt, but it could also establish a new paradigm for world financial markets in the post-meltdown era. In the future, sovereign regulation will be increasingly impotent, so novel systems for financial regulation are expected to dominate. Open declaration and accounting for debt, whether public or private, will help regulate markets organically, and therefore help to prevent future meltdowns. The time to start this process is now.

Why Not Junkanoo?

EDITOR, The Tribune
As a citizen of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, I have a strong conviction that the Prime Minister and his government's pre-occupation with launching Carnival in The Bahamas as the premier cultural experience for visitors from around the globe is misplaced, and dead wrong.
In fact, I seriously consider it an affront, an insult to the people of The Bahamas for our leaders to go foreign to copy a brand name for our things. Let me hasten to say, to their credit the Prime Minister and the government have the right idea: designing and implementing a policy to launch a sustained National Festival to showcase the full range of cultural experiences indigenous to The Bahamas nationally, is a timely innovation given our comparative advantage in tourism, our current economic plight, the need for us to eclipse our first 40 years of independence, and to leverage a better future for our fourth generation during the next 40 years.
However, it is dead wrong for us Bahamians to showcase our culture to the world under the wrong brand name – Carnival. I think the PM and the government ought to stop, review and cancel the proposed Carnival, and replace it with "J-U-N-K-A-N-O-O: the Bahamian Cultural Festival!" It is not a copy of anything ... it's an original, unique creation and worthy of emulating The Bahamas; it's we tings!
I listened to Kirkland H Bodie on 'Morning Coffee' on Monday morning and I was proud to be a Bahamian. "KB" was passionate about the government getting the Carnival ting right by investing in Bahamian culture through Junkanoo. He literally called for a boycott by artisans of the proposed Carnival.
I share his passion and patriotism: that is why for more than a year, I have been trying to influence the government and the PM to brand the proposed Carnival properly by calling it by the right name: "J-U-N-K-A-N-O-O: the Bahamian Cultural Festival." I salute KB for being a young, visionary professional artist and a true patriot.
A little over a year ago, I posted the following on Facebook: "NATIONAL JUNKANOO FESTIVAL?
I have an idea after listening to a musician on a talk show on Guardian Radio this morning (29 May, 2013). How about instead of Junkanoo being centred around two parades, how about taking the whole concept of junkanoo as our main cultural expression to the next level by establishing the National Junkanoo Festival beginning 12 days before Christmas and climaxing with the New Year's Day Junkanoo parade?
How about three parades forming the centrepiece of the Festival: Junior Junkanoo, Boxing Day and New Year's Day parades? How about competition between artists from every segment of the arts to showcase Bahamian creativity, including straw work, woodcarving, entertaining, song-writing, singing, dance, aspects of junkanoo, for example cow-belling, pasting?
How about this being a part of the new Junkanoo Festival? How about including as many complimentary activities and events as possible over the 18-day period? How about sprucing up fan participation at the three parades by designing at least one free-for-all rush out session (probably midway) where freelancers and fans can simply have a great time while the junkanooers take a much needed break?
How about promoting our new Junkanoo Festival to the world the way the Trinnies promote Carnival, Badians promote Crop Over, and Yardies promote Reggae Splash? How about the National Junkanoo Festival being celebrated on all islands during the same period? How about promoting the National Junkanoo Festival strongly to our guests and future guests?
How about using our ingenuity to advance us economically? I believe that a National Junkanoo Festival will add significant value to the Bahamian brand in the global tourism market, and assist with stimulating much needed economic growth while strengthening our communities and providing productive opportunities for our youth. How about a bright new idea – a National Junkanoo Festival - instead of just Junkanoo?"
Since then, I improved upon the model. I suggested that we set-up the National Cultural Festival called "J-U-N-K-A-N-O-O: the Bahamian Cultural Festival" as follows:
1 Pre-season: events including competition in all aspects of culture eg sculling, boat-building, music, costume building, dance, cow-belling, art and craft, straw work, wood carving, fishing, farming, cooking, textiles — authentically Bahamian.
2 J-U-N-K-A-N-O-O 2014/15: beginning 12 days before Christmas, and ending January 1st - New Year's Day - including the finals in pre-season competitions, and the three Junkanoo Parades.
3 Post-season: events running from January 2 to the date that the pre-season events begins (maybe July - the first event can be the Independence Junkanoo Rush-out). Literally Junkanoo all year round!
For me, Freddie Munnings Jr put the icing on the cake when he advanced the proposition recently that Junkanoo must move to the next level by having it produced and staged as a global event. Put all of this together and Bahamas... we have a winner that can literally change our fortunes, forever.
I challenge the PM and the government to brand the Bahamian Cultural Festival correctly, and I guarantee that it will be a winner because everything flows from the branding. We are in tourism – our bread and butter; this proposed festival dovetails nicely with our duty to sell The Bahamas a preferred destination to the world.
Let's get the business model right: we are selling The Bahamas and what makes us Bahamians. Our brand must speak to the inescapable theme that strings it all together in one neat bundle – Bahamian culture, which Junkanoo epitomises.
A national competition can be organised to select an indigenous brand name for the National Cultural Festival. This is big enough to involve literally, all a we. Give the youth a chance to become involved by letting them name their/our cultural festival.
My suggestion is "Junkanoo - the Bahamian Cultural Festival". Think about it and then let us do what is right ... Bahamas!
Thank you. Yours patriotically,

This is just another way for the government to reward/payoff there supporters with the public purse. Also, Junkanoo is not good enough to support or expand, it is BAHAMIAN.

Carnival has no place in the Bahamas. Christie does not believe in us as a people nor our culture.
sheeprunner12 5 years ago
Its a crying shame.... we need to support and develop our indigenous Bahamian Junkanoo concept not prostitute our country for money by piggybacking on someone else's concepts . Just because there are "carnivals" all around the world, that is no excuse for us to carnivalize Junkanoo. We already have the local blue print here......... just read KB and others' commentaries.

Thieves Target Catalytic Converters
Feb. 6, 2020—Beware. Thieves are after catalytic converters.
The precious metals that are in catalytic converters (platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold) have made reports of stolen ones rise.
Tommy Ripley, owner of the two-location Ripley's Total Car Care in Texas, reached out to Ratchet+Wrench after noticing a recent uptick in cases that he's seen.
Ripley said that in the past month, he's seen 6 cases of this at his shop, and in the past few months, he's noticed that it's happening more. The shop even published a blog on it's site. He attributes the rise in the price of rhodium, specifically, as the cause for the uptick.
"It's headed to $10,000 per ounce," Ripley says.
Ripley explains that thieves will target vehicles, specifically larger trucks that are easy to get under without being noticed, cut the catalytic converters out and sell to the salvage yards. The Toyota Tundra, specifically, is a vehicle that has fallen prey to this. The price for these are in the $100-$150 range.
Ripley has never had a thief steal one from his shop, but he did say he spoke to an employee at a dealership that said a thief came in and stole all of the catalytic converters from its lot.
Ripley says that the use of aftermarket catalytic converters deters thieves, as these are not worth as much, roughly $20. The parts are just as good as the OEMs, he says, so it's a win-win.

Robert Cheeseman or Cheseman (1485–1547) was an English politician. He was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Middlesex, 28 April 1539 – 24 July 1540.

Life
He was born in 1485, son and heir of Edward Cheeseman, Cofferer and Keeper of the Wardrobe to Henry VII, and succeeded to the family estates in 1517. He was made a Justice of the Peace for Middlesex in 1528, and served on a number of commissions for collecting tithes and subsidies, and so on. It is sometimes stated that he was Chief Falconer to Henry VIII, but there is no documentary evidence for this and the belief apparently derives from the fact that the famous portrait of him by Holbein now in the Mauritshuis shows him with a falcon on his wrist.

In 1530 he was one of the commissioners on an inquiry into the possessions of Thomas Wolsey after he was attainted, and was on the Grand Jury at the trials of Sir Geoffrey Pole and others (1538), and Thomas Culpeper and Francis Dereham for treason (1541). He was one of the gentlemen selected to welcome Anne of Cleves when she first landed in England. In 1536 he supplied thirty men for the army against the Northern rebels of the Pilgrimage of Grace. He married Alice, daughter of Henry Dacres, of Mayfield, Staffordshire, a Merchant Tailor and Alderman of London. He  was  married  a second  time to  Eleanor Owlett 5 May 1523 Saint Andrews Baynard Castle, London. Together they had five children John, Robert, Eleanor, Anne and Raaf all  born in  Bedfordshire, England.

At his death he held the neighbouring manors of Southall and Norwood, Middlesex (now Greater London). A monument was placed in Norwood chapel.
