i have been arguing myself in these 3 months that i am finally active in my blog, if i will recall my experiences in japan back in 2009. then, for a time i decided against it because i might be carried away and write a hundred plus posts! yes, japan holds many of my great memories, the memories that i will treasure forever.
i guess it is an appropriate time for me to write a post in summary of what japan had done for me in the short time of 6 months that i was there.
Meeting people in different races.
i was damn lucky that i was able to go to japan as a trainee in my previous company and i'm forever grateful for my leaders and everyone else for that. with how each of us has this preconceived notion regarding a certain race, i was able to break away from these biases and worked myself to understand instead.
i was there late spring and got burned after, with their summer heat which is quite different in our country because theirs is too humid. but i was able to witness and even join in some of their festivals during these seasons, like the hanabi (fireworks), tanabata and bon odori. i was in luck at that time for i had experienced several long vacations namely, the golden week, the summer holiday, and their other holidays. these were the times when i got to make way for those piled up travel plans and some impromptu ones!
i am already independent long before when i was only 11 years old. i moved from my hometown and had my high school years in the city , then college and eventually became a guaranteed tax-paying employee. hurrah!
so while in japan, i was breathing the air of freedom, calloused my feet, burnt my skin, got lost a number of times but never ever did i regret anything!
my weekdays there were in a routine, i woke up early, met the same people who also had daily routines on my way to the train station, and most of the time, dashed insanely in order to be on time for my train. i had survived this routine by planning within the week on where i would go that weekend.
it didn't matter if most were menial plans like going to a different church, a park, and a temple which i believed i was in a temple overdose there. even if it would be my first time to be in that place, i relied on japan's convenient transportation, helpful directions along their streets, and some few japanese people who were able to comprehend my broken japanese.
i had this handy notebook wherein i scribbled the list of places and the train stations that i had to pass by in order to get to my destination. before i can manage to read few common japanese characters in the train stations, i even wrote the kanji equivalent just to be sure.
and i continue to plan up to this day.
of course, there are so much i could tell about japan because everyday that i was there was an experience. i hope in time, japan will only have to look back what's happening now and will be proud on how they got up from their knees, survived, and eventually recovered. everything will all be just a painful but fleeting memory.
like what they did during kobe earthquake in 1995.
P.S. For the recent earthquake in Japan, you can make your donations through Google. ;) here.
donsol's gentle giants, the butanding!


I can't imagine it will make sense to use anything slower, especially as most of the construction will be 2018 and later. Privately, the people at NBN agree. Much of the FTTC is an outright replacement for a cable network, originally set to upgrade. The network was in such poor shape nbn decided to replace most of it rather than upgrade.
"By the time the rollout is complete in 2020, there will be more than one million homes and businesses."
Pictured: Australia is the only nation that has to worry about wombats chewing the phone lines. From Wikipedia; A group of wombats is known as a wisdom, a mob, or a colony.
Wombats typically live up to 15 years in the wild, but can live past 20 and even 30 years in captivity. The longest-lived captive wombat lived to 34 years of age. The oldest known living wombat, Patrick from Ballarat Wildlife Park, turned 31 years old in 2016.
nbn has commenced the first stages of building its world-leading Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) access technology, which is set to benefit more than one million homes and businesses across the nation by 2020.
Designed to bring faster speeds closer to your doorstep, the technology will provide access to services over nbn™ network by delivering fibre straight to the driveway of your home.
The company is the first broadband wholesaler in the world to roll the FTTC technology out on a mass scale and today marked the beginning of a trial in Coburg outside of Melbourne. The trial is designed to evaluate the construction and installation of its deployment ahead of the nationwide build that will commence in the coming months.
"Today's announcement demonstrates that nbn is a world-leader in adopting new and innovative technologies to deliver fast broadband to Australians.
"We will be focusing our efforts in the next few months on ensuring we understand how to scale the FTTC network rollout across the country and also working with our retail customers to trial the product in preparation for its launch next year.
"By the time the rollout is complete in 2020, there will be more than one million homes and businesses across the country who will be able to enjoy the benefits of fast broadband by connecting to the nbn™ network using the FTTC technology through their retailer.
The nbn™ network is currently available to almost one in two Australians, is scheduled to be three quarters built by mid-next year and complete by 2020.
Visit our nbn™ blog series to learn more about the FTTC technology and how the nbn™ network is using world-leading technologies to deliver fast broadband to Australians.
The exact number of premises and the regions covered by the FTTC technology may vary once nbn has finalised its construction planning.
The anticipated technology to be deployed in communities may change depending on a number of factors once the construction planning stage has been finalised. Some areas may be serviced by multiple technologies.
nbn is building a new and upgraded, fast wholesale broadband network to enable communities across Australia to access fast broadband from their Retail Service Provider. Our goal is to connect eight million homes and businesses by 2020.
The rollout of the nbn™ access network sets the scene for the biggest transformation to Australia's telecommunications industry involving Retail Service Provider network upgrades and the establishment of a network of networks to bring fast broadband to all Australians.
Connecting to the nbn™ network is not automatic and is a process which may take some time and preparation. nbn is working with the service providers and industry to help them better understand who is responsible for which portions of their internet experience and what steps they can take in order to receive the best possible service.
The speeds experienced on services over the nbn™ network are determined by a range of factors such as the technology used to deliver the network as well as some factors outside our control like equipment quality, software, broadband plans, signal reception and how your service provider designs their network.
Fast broadband like that delivered via the nbn™ network can provide a range of benefits for Australians such as opportunities to work from home, access to online education tools and options for on-demand entertainment.

July 14, 2014: The Job Of Waxing Poetic Can Be Quite Frenetic
"I have gotten bad news and am much the worse for it.
"I've just found out I'm not the nation's poet laureate.
"I made a great effort. I put up a good fight.
"But instead the job went to a guy named Charles Wright.
"Burma Shave."
The preceding stanza should tell you I got hosed. I would have made a great poet laureate. But, alas, the good folks at the Library of Congress didn't seem to think so and it is their vote that counts. I think they were swayed by the fact that Dr. Wright, a retired professor at the University of Virginia, has won a Pulitzer Prize and a bunch of other awards for his poetry.
Dana Gioia, former chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, was quoted as saying Dr. Wright "has spent a lifetime refining language to create poetry of tremendous evocative power." OK, fine. But I would remind the powers-that-be that I am not exactly poetic chopped liver myself. I refined a lot of tremendous evocative power as editor of one of nation's foremost high school newspapers, The Russell Wildcat. And it didn't take me a lifetime, just my senior year.
In the intervening time, I have devoted my life's work to assisting our intrepid public servants under the Gold Dome in the discharge of their solemn duties. That has kept me from concentrating on my goal of becoming the nation's poet laureate. With all due respect, I'm not sure Dr. Wright has labored under similar pressure.
In spite of the long, grueling hours I have put into this sometimes thankless task of providing advice and counsel to my friends in the Legislature, I have still managed to knock out a lot of really good poems. I don't make a big deal out of it because of my God-given modesty but, hopefully, the world will soon discover that I can easily hang with Dr. Wright and Dr. Seuss and all the other renowned poets of our time. Consider my paean to the recently-passed gun bill:
"We have a new gun law in Georgia that I have written about.
"We can now arm ourselves in church. Of that, there is no doubt.
"Applause to a legislator from Pickens County is due.
"It was his bright idea. Rick Jasperse, Rick Jasperdo."
And there is this canto which I call, "How Government Works." I am told it is a particular favorite of many legislators:
"Our ethics legislation is just fine. Please don't rock the boat.
"Yes, I play golf with a lobbyist but it won't affect my vote.
"Ours is a case of great mutual affection.
"They give me dollars and I win re-election."
Poetry is also a wonderful way to bridge the ideological gaps that may exist between us and to create an aura of mutual respect for one another's views, no matter how disparate. That is why I penned the following:
"Hail! Hail! To the Liberal Weenie.
"I wish they thought me not such a meanie.
"They are always covering Obama's tush
"By blaming everything on George W. Bush.
"For them, there is no in-betweeny."
And I don't write Pulitzer Prize material? Get real.
Poetry is not as easy as Dr. White and I make it look. For one thing, you don't just sit down and rhyme stuff. There are many different schools of poetry, from modernism to romanticism to surrealism through which we choose to shape our innermost thoughts and plumb our emotional depths. In my case, my poetry has been heavily influenced by the school of laundryism, meaning that whether I write it or rhyme it, I am almost guaranteed to get somebody's shorts in a wad. For example:
"There was an old woman who lived in a Guatemalan shoe.
"She had so many children, she didn't know what to do.
"So she sent them to our border
"And told the president he oughta
"Admit them and Honduran children, too."
Frankly, it feels good to wax poetic for a change. It certainly eases the pain of not being named our nation's poet laureate. I wish Dr. Charles Wright all the best in his new assignment and to show there are no hard feelings, I respectfully dedicate this poem to him:
"You got a job that I would like to have gotten.
"But that's okay; sometimes life can be rotten.
"While you may be the master of the poetic meter
"Being a much-beloved columnist makes my life just as completer.

Q: Какие темы по C# достаточно знать для junior-a и для понимания и изучения технологии asp.net? Сейчас я читаю главу в Шилдте про linq в C#, пытаюсь также написать свой небольшой проект (сжатие данных с помощью алгоритма Хаффмана). Параллельно я учу html/css. В дальнейшем я хочу специализироваться в asp.net. Знаю, что мне понадобиться изучать еще mssql. Меня интересует, каких тем для знаний junior-а, чтобы было достаточно понимания и знания языка для изучения asp.net и возможности устраиваться на работу? Я не думаю, что новичку нужно знать все моменты C#.
A: Просто прочитайте книгу Microsoft ASP.NET 4 с примерами на C# 2010 для профессионалов
Несмотря на то, что написано в названии "для профессионалов" книга больше подходит для изучающих ASP.NET с нуля.
A: для juniora необходимо знать, как создавать юзер контролы, хранимые процедуры MS SQL, основы ajax - отправку/получение данных без постбэков, основные алгоритмы и структуры данных. Собственно это всё.

Announcing the Ty Pozzobon Foundation
CALGARY, Alberta – Shortly over a month after the passing of Ty Pozzobon, family and friends close to Pozzobon are proud to announce the Ty Pozzobon Foundation (TPF).
In the first meetings, the Foundation mission statement has been set forth: "To protect and support the health and well-being of rodeo competitors inside and outside the arena."
Pozzobon's best friend, Tanner Byrne stepped forward as the spokesperson of Ty's foundation.
"We knew we wanted to all do something for Ty in his name to make a positive change in our sport," said Byrne. "Through Ty's Foundation we can ensure his name, destiny and legacy live on in and out of the arena. A focus of Ty's Foundation is to work with our youth and our athletes on concussion awareness and the affects they have. We want anyone dealing with anxiety or depression to have somewhere to go, someone to talk to and a way for them to reach out to us for help to get the proper care and education they need.
"Ty loved people, this is our way of still doing that for him."
"We are thankful for the support from all of you in what has been such a difficult time in our lives," said Leanne Pozzobon. "We are thankful for the creation of the Ty Pozzobon Foundation. It is our vision to all do our best to make sure something like this doesn't happen again in the sport Ty loved so much."
Initiatives of the foundation include placing and or assisting funding the Canadian Pro Rodeo Sports Medicine Team (CPRSMT) at every ProRodeo and PBR event in Canada in 2017 and beyond; assisting creating and funding the concussion spotting team at Pro Rodeo and PBR competition in 2017 and more.
Fund raising initiatives of the Ty Pozzobon Foundation include donations, events, official t-shirt sales among others. Despite the official legal proceedings, the TPF has an operational parent foundation to run under to proceed with current intentions.
"Our first announcement with the Ty Pozzobon Foundation is a commitment to provide care by the Canadian Pro Rodeo Sports Medicine Team at every PBR Canada event in 2017," Byrne said. "Through our generous supporters and founders, funds are already in place. However, we require more financial support in order to achieve the goals we have set forth."
This announcement marks the first time ever that the PBR in Canada has enjoyed the presence in some form of the CPRSMT at every single event throughout a single season.

Hello! Thank you for joining MyNudies.
Are the Steady Eddie jeans you bought dry/unwashed/raw?
When i have bought the jeans it was only whrite Dry Blue i bought them at a online retailers.
it's the jeans you need to wait approx 6 month before wash.
Ok. Yes, it can still rub off dye even after first wash. But it's rare and I don't think you have to worry about it.
ok tanks for your answer. so after the first wash it can still rub off but it's rare but before the first wash it's more frequently.
i like dry cleaning my denim it's better.
Ok tank you, but i want to wash them in the machine for now. if i wash them and re wash them at the same time do you think it will stop bleeding ?
i love Nudie Jeans and it's my first pair. I like the way it can fade and take our ''lifestyle'' but i am dissapoiting with a possibility to bleed even after wash.
How are your Nudies doing now?

Google will no longer trust WoSign and StarCom certificates
Google reports that in the coming months, it will completely stop cooperation with certificates issued by WoSign and StarCom certification centers. The change will take effect with the release of Chrome 61, which is expected in mid-September. It will affect the certificates issued before October 21, 2016, the period of validity of which has not yet expired.
Last year, Google Chrome 56 stopped trusting the certificates from WoSign and StarCom, released later October 21, 2016. After the release of Chrome 57, the browser partially stopped trusting the old certificates. An exception was made for websites that are among the first million in the Alexa rating. From now on, all certificates from these centers will be banned.
"Starting with Chrome 61, the white list will be removed, which will lead to a complete cessation of trust in the existing root certificates of WoSign and StarCom and all certificates that they have given out. Websites that still use certificates from StarCom and WoSign should urgently consider replacing them, so as to minimize any inconveniences to Chrome users," reports Google.
It should be recalled Mozilla announced about freezing its cooperation with WoSign and StartCom in September 2016. Starting with the Firefox 51 the certificates are considered to be invalid. At the same time, the support of certificates issued before October 21, 2016 is still preserved.

When new, OEM rubber exhaust hangers are fine for the stock exhaust system. But they simply don't hold up or perform well in performance applications. Over time rubber breaks down and increases the amount of exhaust system movement. This excessive movement can damage the exhaust system as well as allow the hot tip to contact the bumper. PERRIN Polyurethane Exhaust Hangers are extra stiff to help keep your exhaust system in place, away from your bumper and other undercarriage parts. Most clients can install a set of hangers in less than 30 minutes with simple hand tools!
The PERRIN Polyurethane Hangers are made from a special blend of polyurethane to withstand the temperature of high performance exhaust systems. In all kinds of conditions, from hot runs on a dyno to freezing winter temps, the PERRIN Polyurethane Exhaust Hangers will outlast and outperform the stock hangers.

After three months on this site, well, the results are just sad. We got some replies, but the only dates we managed to set stood us up.
JustHookup.com is one of those sites that we just ended up taking one glance at…and KNOWING. That's never a good sign, because we hate to judge a book by its cover, but this site just screams that it's full of failure, and sadly (or perhaps fortunately), we're rarely wrong.
This site just doesn't advertise properly.
The main problem that we immediately saw with JustHookup.com is that it's far too strongly geared towards men. This means that this site is just plastered with boobs and butts, and that means that most women won't even give it a second glance. During our JustHookup review, this became more and more obvious of a problem as time went on, and we're pretty sure that this sort of advertising to drag men in is what makes their ratio so very, very low when it comes to actual, real ladies.
To find married dating sites that aren't complete scams, see our reviews.
See The Results We Got For Married Dating On JustHookup.com
We ended up spending a total of 3 months on our JustHookup review, and during this time, we sent out 180 e-mails that we really hoped weren't towards more JustHookup scams.
The results weren't great.
From those 180 e-mails, we only received a total of 75 responses. This wasn't even our minimum, 50% return rate that we like to see, so we were ultimately pretty annoyed by these results.
Only 2 women actually wanted to meet up with us, and ultimately, none of them showed. This means that we didn't get to have a single affair courtesy of this site, and that means it was nothing but a time waster.
This Is Why We Did Not Like JustHookup.com: Is It a Scam?
JustHookup scams are all that this site is crawling with. That means that you're going to have a pretty hard time finding real, breathing women on this site, and ultimately, you're just going to have to weed through a ton of fake profiles that mostly consist of pushy cam girls.

The Prayer Book Rebellion or Western Rising was a popular revolt in Cornwall and Devon in 1549.  In that year, the Book of Common Prayer, presenting the theology of the English Reformation, was introduced. The change was widely unpopular, particularly in areas where  firm Catholic religious loyalty (even after the Act of Supremacy in 1534) still existed, such as Lancashire. Along with poor economic conditions, the enforcement of the English language literature rather than Cornish led to an explosion of anger in Cornwall and Devon, initiating an uprising. In response, Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset sent John Russell to suppress the revolt, with the rebels being defeated and its leaders executed two months after the beginning of hostilities.

Background

One probable cause of the Prayer Book Rebellion was the religious changes recently implemented by the government of the new king, Edward VI. In the late 1540s, Lord Protector Somerset, on behalf of the young king, introduced a range of legislative measures as an extension of the Reformation in England and Wales, with the primary aim of changing theology and practices, particularly in areas of traditionally Catholic religious loyalty – for example, in Cornwall and Devon.

When traditional religious processions and pilgrimages were banned, commissioners were sent out to remove all symbols of Catholicism, in line with Thomas Cranmer's religious policies favouring Protestantism ever more. In Cornwall, this task was given to William Body, whose perceived desecration of religious shrines led to his murder on 5 April 1548 by William Kylter and Pascoe Trevian at Helston.

This pressure on the lower classes was compounded by the recent poll tax on sheep. This would have affected the region significantly, with the West Country being an area of sheep farming. Rumours circulating that the tax would be extended to other livestock might have increased the discontent.

A damaged social structure then meant this local uprising was not sufficiently dealt with by nearby landowners. The Marquess of Exeter, a large landowner in Sampford Courtenay, had recently been attainted. His successor, Lord Russell, was based in London and rarely came out to his land. It is possible this created a lack of local power that would have normally been expected to quell the revolt.

It is possible that the roots of the rebellion can be traced back to Cornwall's own ancient wish for independence from England, meaning they were loath to accept new laws from a central government geographically distant from them. More recently, the Cornish Rebellion of 1497 and the subsequent destruction of monasteries from 1536 through to 1545 under King Henry VIII had brought an end to the formal scholarship, supported by the monastic orders, that had sustained the Celtic Cornish and the Catholic Devonian cultural identities. The dissolution of Glasney College and Crantock College as well as Tavistock Abbey in Devon played a significant part in fomenting opposition to future cultural reforms. It has been argued that the Catholic Church had "proved itself extremely accommodating of Cornish language and culture" and that government attacks on the traditional religion had reawakened the spirit of defiance in Cornwall, and in particular the majority Cornish-speaking far west.

Immediate retribution followed with the execution of twenty-eight Cornishmen at Launceston Castle. One execution of a "traitor of Cornwall" occurred on Plymouth Hoe – town accounts gave details of the cost of timber for both gallows and poles. Martin Geoffrey, the pro-Catholic priest of St Keverne, near Helston, was taken to London. After Geoffrey's execution, his head was impaled on a staff erected upon London Bridge as was customary.

Sampford Courtenay and the immediate beginnings of the uprising

The new prayer book was not uniformly adopted and in 1549, the Act of Uniformity made it unlawful to use the Latin liturgical rites from Whitsunday 1549 onwards. Magistrates were given the task of enforcing the change. Following the enforced change on Whitsunday, on Whitmonday the parishioners of Sampford Courtenay in Devon compelled their priest to revert to the old service. The rebels argued that the new English liturgy was "but lyke a Christmas game." This claim was probably related to the book's provision for men and women to file into the quire on different sides to receive the sacrament, which seemed to remind the Devon men of country dancing. Justices arrived at the next service to enforce the change.  An altercation at the service led to a proponent of the change (William Hellyons) killed by being run through with a pitchfork on the steps of the church house.

Following this confrontation, a group of parishioners from Sampford Courtenay decided to march to Exeter to protest at the introduction of the new prayer book.  As the group of rebels moved through Devon, they gained large numbers of Catholic supporters and became a significant force.  Marching east to Crediton, the Devon rebels laid siege to Exeter, demanding the withdrawal of all English liturgies. Although a number of the inhabitants in Exeter sent a message of support to the rebels, the city refused to open its gates.  The gates were to stay closed because of the siege for over a month.

"Kill all the gentlemen"

In Cornwall and Devon, the issue of the Book of Common Prayer proved to be the final indignity that the people could peaceably bear. Two decades of oppression were followed by two years of rampant inflation, in which wheat prices had quadrupled. Along with the rapid enclosure of common lands, the attack on the Church, which was felt to be central to the rural community, led to an explosion of anger.  In Cornwall, an army gathered at the town of Bodmin under the leadership of its mayor, Henry Bray, and two staunch Catholic landowners, Sir Humphrey Arundell of Helland and John Winslade of Tregarrick.

Many of the gentry sought protection in old castles.  Some shut themselves in St Michael's Mount where they were besieged by the rebels who started a bewildering smoke-screen by burning trusses of hay. This, combined with a shortage of food and the distress of women, forced them to surrender. Sir Richard Grenville found refuge in the ruins of Trematon Castle.  Deserted by many of his followers, the old man was enticed outside to parley. He was seized and the castle ransacked. Sir Richard and his companions were imprisoned in Launceston gaol. The Cornish army then proceeded to march east across the Tamar border into Devon to join with the Devon rebels near Crediton.

The religious aims of the rebellion were highlighted in the slogan "Kill all the gentlemen and we will have the Six Articles up again, and ceremonies as they were in King Henry's time." However, it also implies a social cause (a view supported by historians such as Guy and Fletcher).  That later demands included limiting the size of households belonging to the gentry – theoretically beneficial in a time of population growth and unemployment – possibly suggests an attack on the prestige of the gentry.  Certainly such contemporaries as Thomas Cranmer took this view, condemning the rebels for deliberately inciting a class conflict by their demands: "to diminish their strength and to take away their friends, that you might command gentlemen at your pleasures". Protector Somerset himself saw dislike of the gentry as a common factor in all of the 1549 rebellions: "indeed all hath conceived a wonderful hate against the gentlemen and taketh them all as their enemies."

The Cornish rebels were also concerned with the use of the English language in the new prayer book. The language-map of Cornwall at this time is quite complicated, but philological studies have suggested that the Cornish language had been in territorial retreat throughout the Middle Ages. Summarising the research, Mark Stoyle says that by 1450, the county was divided into three main linguistic blocs: "West Cornwall was inhabited by a population of Celtic descent, which was mostly Cornish speaking; the western part of East Cornwall was inhabited by a population of Celtic descent, which had largely abandoned the Cornish tongue in favor of English; and the eastern part of East Cornwall was inhabited by a population of Anglo-Saxon descent, which was entirely English speaking.". This tripartite model is however not borne out by modern genetic evidence which shows distinctly Cornish and Devonian genetic identities separate from, but closely related to, both each other and the 'Anglo-Saxon' English.

The West Cornish, outraged by the introduction of English in their 1549 services, wrote the Demands of the Western Rebels the eighth Article of which states: "...and so we the Cornyshe men (whereof certen of us understande no Englysh) utterly refuse thys newe Englysh". Responding to this, however, Archbishop Cranmer asked why the Cornishmen should be offended by holding the service in English rather than Cornish when they had before held it in Latin and not understood that.

Confrontations

In London, King Edward VI and his Privy Council became alarmed by this news from the West Country. On instructions from the Lord Protector the Duke of Somerset, one of the Privy Councillors, Sir Gawen Carew, was ordered to pacify the rebels. At the same time, Lord John Russell was ordered to take an army to impose a military solution.

The rebels were of many different backgrounds, some farmers, some tin miners, and some fishermen. Cornwall appears to have had a significantly larger militia than other areas of a similar size.

Crediton confrontation
After the rebels passed Plymouth, Devonian knights Sir Gawen and Sir Peter Carew were sent to negotiate with the Devon rebels at Crediton. They found their approaches blocked and they were attacked by longbowmen. Shortly before, the Cornish rebels arrived and Arundell had to divide his combined force, sending one force to Clyst St Mary to assist the villagers and the other with the main army to advance upon Exeter, where it besieged the city for 5 weeks.

The siege of Exeter

The rebel commanders unsuccessfully tried to persuade John Blackaller, Exeter's pro-Catholic mayor, to surrender the town. The city gates were closed as the initial force of some 2,000 men gathered outside.

Battle of Fenny Bridges
On July 2, Lord John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford's initial force had reached Honiton. It included 160 Italian arquebusiers and 1,000 landsknechts, German foot soldiers, under the command of Lord William Grey. With promised reinforcements from Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, Russell would have had more than 8,600 men, including a cavalry force of 850 men, all of whom were well armed and well trained. Russell had estimated the combined rebel forces from Cornwall and Devon at only 7,000 men. On July 28, Arundell decided to block their approach to Exeter at Fenny Bridges. The result of this conflict was inconclusive. Approximately 300 men on each side were reported to have died with Lord Russell and his army returned to Honiton.

Battle of Woodbury Common
Lord Russell's reinforcements arrived on August 2 and his army of 5,000 men began a march upon Exeter, westward, across the downs. Russell's advance continued on to Woodbury Common where they pitched camp. On August 4, the rebels attacked, but the result was inconclusive with large numbers of prisoners taken by Lord Russell.

Battle of Clyst St Mary
Arundell's forces re-grouped with the main contingent of 6,000 soldiers at Clyst St Mary, but they were attacked by a central force led by Sir William Francis on August 5. After a ferocious battle, Russell's troops gained the advantage and left a thousand Cornish and Devonians dead and many more taken prisoner.

Clyst Heath massacre
Russell pitched camp on Clyst Heath where he had 900 bound and gagged rebel prisoners killed, with their throats slit in 10 minutes, according to the chronicler John Hayward.

Battle of Clyst Heath
When news of the atrocity reached Arundell's forces, a new attack took place early on August 6. Lord Grey later commented that he had never seen the like nor taken part in such a murderous fray. As he had led the charge against the Scots in the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh, this was a telling statement. Some 2,000 soldiers had died at the battle of Clyst Heath. A group of Devon men went north, up the valley of the Exe, where they were overtaken by Sir Gawen Carew who left the corpses of their leaders hanging on gibbets from Dunster to Bath.

Relief of Exeter
Lord Russell continued his attack with the relief of Exeter. In London, a proclamation was issued, allowing the lands of those involved in the uprising to be confiscated. Arundell's estate was transferred to Sir Gawen Carew, and Sir Peter Carew was rewarded with John Winslade's estate in Devon.

Battle of Sampford Courtenay

Lord Russell was under the impression that the rebels had been defeated, but news arrived that Arundell's army was re-grouping at Sampford Courtenay. This interrupted his plans to send 1,000 men into Cornwall by ship to cut off his enemy's retreat. Russell's forces were strengthened by the arrival of a force under Provost Marshal Sir Anthony Kingston. His army now numbered more than 8,000, vastly outnumbering what had remained of his opposition. Lord Grey and Sir William Herbert led the attack, and the contemporary Exeter historian John Hooker wrote that "the Cornish would not give in until most of their number had been slain or captured".  Lord John Russell reported that his army had killed between five and six hundred rebels, and his pursuit of the Cornish retreat had killed a further seven hundred.

Aftermath

Many had escaped, including Arundell who fled to Launceston. There, he was captured and taken to London together with Winslade, who was caught at Bodmin. In total, over 5,500 people lost their lives in the rebellion. Further orders were issued on behalf of the king by the Lord Protector the Duke of Somerset and Archbishop Thomas Cranmer for the continuance of the onslaught. Under Sir Anthony Kingston, the English and mercenary forces had moved into Devon and Cornwall where they executed or killed many people before the bloodshed finally ceased. Proposals to translate the Prayer Book into Cornish were also suppressed.

The loss of life in the Prayer Book Rebellion and subsequent reprisals as well as the introduction of the English Prayer Book is seen as a turning point in the Cornish language, for which – unlike Welsh – a complete bible translation has not been produced. Research has also suggested that, prior to the rebellion, the Cornish language had strengthened and more concessions had been made to Cornwall as a "nation", and that anti-English sentiment had been growing stronger, providing additional impetus for the rebellion.

Bishop of Truro's apology for the response to the Rebellion
In June 2007, the then Bishop of Truro, the Right Revd Bill Ind, was reported as saying that the massacre during the vicious suppression of the Prayer Book Rebellion more than 450 years ago was an "enormous mistake" for which the Church of England should be ashamed. Speaking at a ceremony at Pelynt, he said:

In 2016, the Directorate of Curriculum and Methodology in the Ministry of Education in Iraq altered the old English textbook allocated for the forth-primary class with a new textbook called English for Iraq: Pupil's Book. After implementing this new textbook, the teachers, who are teaching this material, addressed a set of criticisms stating that the design and structure of this book does not fit the comprehensive levels of the pupils. As teachers emphasized that they encountered difficulties in teaching this material because they should have joined an intensive session for how to teach the new textbook before teaching it in the schools. Investigating the opinions of the teachers about the contents of the book, they believe that the grammatical topics apportioned for the forth grade are beyond the pupils' grasp where the writers set down rules of comparative and superlative degrees which pupils cannot perceive and should be given for the high school classes. Consequently, the teachers are obliged to choose simple and recognized topics and leave the topics – especially grammatical ones which confuse their minds if they are given to them. Thus, the initiative evaluation shows that the textbook contains difficult modules as it lacks practicing the four skills of the English language, in addition to the insufficiency of using the illustrative aids in the classroom.
