AGA'S HOUSE a film by Lendita Zeqiraj
A young boy living in a house of women must race to save a house-guest who is teaching him Serbian, so that he can continue the search for his missing father.


Celebrate her Bat Mitzvah with this delicate necklace. A small Star of David charm is paired with a colorless crystal quartz charm, an alternative birthstone for April. They are suspended from a dainty chain with a lobster clasp closure. All components are sterling silver.


I'm having trouble loading data into the ym3812... I think.
It's not clear to tell, because I might be having trouble reading data out. Anyway the data sheet is frustratingly unclear about a few things.
I've wired up a total of 17 inputs and outputs to the chip, that's the maximum number of io pins readily available to me on the pi. I NEED 16 of these to do the whole job, but theoretically I don't need all 16 of them at once. Having done all this it's changed the physical setup, and I've also changed the code that I'm using, so I might currently have a basic mistake in either of those to contend with. I'm going to strip down the software a bit at a time and then build it back up to try to narrow down the issues.
According to the datasheet, writing a byte into a register goes something like this.
That's all there is to it. The actual order of CS and WR changes shouldn't matter, the datasheet says that the value in D0 - D7 is taken when either CS or WR goes high.
What's not in the datasheet is any information about the time required between writes. There's plenty of information about the setup and hold times during the process of writing either an address or a byte, but nothing to suggest that there's a minimum delay between writes. I thought I was being generous leaving 32 cycles of ΦM between the address write and the data write, and then another 32 cycles after the data write.
The figures quoted by Vladimir appear time and again in open source drivers and emulators, and are consistent with the document written 2 years earlier by Jeffrey S. Lee, where he says the information comes from the Adlib manual.
I'm surprised not to find any of this in the chip datasheet itself, but it seems to work for everyone else, so I'll have to extend my delays.
You are correct, the delays are not long enough.
Adlib card developement kit says 12 cycles between address and data load, and 84 cycles between data load and subsequent address load.
This is consistent with Y8950 application guide, since it also has OPL2 core.
As you can see, 84 cycles is more than time of one sample, 72 cycles. Makes sense to update internal registers from the IO latch at a suitable interval during one sample, plus some amount of additional guard time for some reason.
If you want to spare some IO operations, just keep CS low all the time and pulse either RD or WR. It should work.
I also find the OPL3 "virtually no delay" part very amusing, but given 32+32 cycles with a faster clock on OPL3, it is much less than 12+84 required by OPL2 in total.
Thanks. It's good to have a second opinion.
I didn't think of looking at the Y8950 application guide, although I have a copy.
I've been working on registers 02, 03 and 04 looking at the timers, so actually my 32 cycles delays might be expected to be sufficient.
I must have a problem elsewhere, although I may as well extend the delay in my code now, because I will be wanting to write all the registers eventually.
There was nothing wrong with my data loading code, the problem was with my electronics.
I can't find anything about it in the YM3812 datasheet, but the YMF262 datasheet says that the IRQ pin is an open drain output. This means that whereas ΦSY, ΦSH and MO are all straightforward outputs, either 0V or 5V, which I can read in the r-pi simply by using a resistor pair current divider. The IRQ is either 0V or (normally) high impedance. I need to pull it up with a resistor so that it's normally high, and then it will pull low when triggered. I pulled it up to the r-pi's 3.3 supply and from there was able to connect it directly to the pi. Once I did that everything worked great.
But it's rather frustrating that I couldn't find this info on the datasheet.

Chris Froome, last year's runner-up in Tour de France behind team-captain Bradley Wiggins, kept his impressive form in Criterium International winning the queen stage of this mini-tour, the mountain-top finish in Col De l'Ospedale.
SKY took the charge as the riders started climbing the Col De l'Ospedale, Vasil Kiryienka putting a great effort and shaking the peloton down to 20 riders. And with 6 kilometers to go, IAM Cycling's Johann Tschopp escaped and eventually dropped Kiryienka. But it was Chris Froome destroying the field with his solo attack, later followed by Paris-Nice champion Richie Porte, who finished the stage in second place. Despite huge expectations, BMC's Tejay van Garderen only managed to grab the last podium spot thanks to his time-trial performance in stage 2.
SKY once again dominated the climb and spread fear amongst their rivals as the grand tours are approaching.
"It wasn't my intention to attack so early on in the climb but Richie sat off a little bit and gave me a gap and no one chased," Froome said about his attack. "So I pushed on a bit knowing that he could stay protected behind other wheels, which allowed him to attack in the final couple of kilometres himself. So we couldn't have asked for better"

Comments Off on Chris Froome wins Criterium International in Impressive SKY One-Two
Featuring six categorized climbs, and ending atop the first-category l'Ospedale summit, Criterium Internatinal's third and final stage will be the decider of this year's winner.
Last year, on the same stage, it was Cadel Evans defending his yellow jersey after his Stage 2 TT victory, and in 2011 when it was the opening stage of Criterium International, Frank Schleck won it with a 20 seconds margin.
Team Sky's Richie Porte and Chris Froome, BMC's Cadel Evans and Tejay Van Garderen, Garmin-Sharp's Andrew Talansky and AG2R's Jean-Christophe Peraud will be the main riders to watch on the l'Ospedale climb.

Comments Off on Criterium International 2013 Stage 3 Preview
In the first day of the Criterium International, we had 2 back-to-back stages. A 89.5 km sprint stage around Porto-Vecchio early in the morning, and a 7 km time-trial afterwards.
Blanco's Theo Bos won the bunch sprint of the first stage, where Nacer Bouhanni of FDJ came second and Team Sax0-Tinkoff's Jonathan Cantwell finished the stage in third place.
In the second event of the day, the 7km flat time-trial, SKY's Paris-Nice winner Richie Porte was the fastest and grabbed the yellow jersey before the final stage of the race, featuring six categorized climbs, and ending atop the first-category l'Ospedale summit.
"We came in with Froomey as our leader and he's a great friend, so if he's got good legs tomorrow and I don't then I'll be more than happy to ride for him," told Porte. "Obviously, I'd like to finish the job off if I can, but as long as Team Sky win tomorrow it'll be a great day and we'll all be happy. Right now I just want to enjoy the moment, and the fact that I have one more lion to add to the collection (laughs). I'm really happy on this team and in a really good place."
Check out Criterium International Stage 3 Preview.
Criterium International, formerly known as Criterium National de la Route is a 2-day race in Corsica, first held in 1932. It was a French-only race before it was open to non-French cyclists in 1979. Emile Idee, Raymond Poulidor and Jens Voigt share the record of most wins with 5 each whereas BMC's Cadel Evans is the winner of its 2012 edition.

The Länkipohja-Jämsä area is situated in the southern part of the Central Finland Granitoid Complex and consists of granitic plutonic rocks and supracrustal rocks including intermediate volcanic rocks and volcanogenic sediments accompanied with less abundant mafic and felsic variants. It is a part of the eastern extension of the well-studied Tampere schist belt located between the Central Finland Granitoid Complex to the north and Pirkanmaa migmatite belt to the south. To the east of the study area is the Makkola area, also geologically related to the Tampere schist belt. The deformational events in these supracrustal areas are related to the collision of Central and Southern Svecofennia at 1.88–1.87 Ga. The purpose of this Master's project was to study the volcanic and volcanogenic rocks of the study area extending over an area of 30 x 20 km and assess their tectonic setting and genesis. The study is part of the Gold Potential Mapping Project of the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK). The data include more than 1300 field observations, 80 thin sections and 85 geochemical analyses. Some older field observations and geological and aeromagnetic maps were also utilized. The occurrences of volcanic rocks have been divided into five subareas: Partala, Kakaristo, Mustajärvi, Ouninpohja, and Länkipohja. The volcanic rocks have mainly intermediate, calc-alkaline to shoshonitic composition, they are enriched in light rare earth elements, depleted in high-field strength elements, and have trace element features that plot them in arc volcanic and active continental margin settings in tectonic discrimination diagrams. The volcanic rocks of Länkipohja and Partala areas are more acidic and alkaline than other volcanic rocks of this study. Otherwise, no remarkable differences in geology or geochemistry were found between the subareas of the study area and the Makkola area to the east and the Tampere schist belt to the west. It is concluded that the whole geological system has formed in a continental arc setting. Furthermore, the presence of a subduction component is inferred from large LILE/HFSE ratio. Despite some signs of hydrothermal alteration, the ore potential of the area is low, disregarding orogenic gold and quartz vein related gold deposits.

Moonwalker, also known as Michael Jackson: Moonwalker, is an American anthology film released in 1988 by singer Michael Jackson. Rather than featuring one continuous narrative, the film is a collection of short films about Jackson, several of which are long-form music videos from Jackson's Bad album. The film is named after the dance technique known as the moonwalk, which was one of his trademark moves. The name of the dance move was dubbed by the media, not by Jackson himself; however, he did choose the title of the film himself. The film is rated PG outside of the United States.
A short biographical film about Jackson, covering the early years from the Jackson 5 until the Bad World Tour. Excerpts of the following songs are played:
"Music and Me"

Kate Upton is curvy and proud of it, and why would's she be? After all, she does look more than a bit stunning on Elle's September front cover.
"After my first Sports Illustrated cover, I felt terrible about myself for a solid mont. Every single guy I met was either married or about to be married, and I felt like I was their bachelor present or something… I'm not a toy, I'm a human, I'm not here to be used. I am a grown woman, and you need to figure your s**t out," she told Elle.
Kate Upton gives strength to woman who are slightly larger than the average, and we think that's a good thing, especially in a day and age where overly skinny models are idolized and a generation of teenagers find themselves struggling with weight issues while being influenced constantly to lose weight.

"GREAT WORK! Ken is a brilliant actor and acting teacher, director, dialect coach, and movement teacher... he's everything!"
— Harvey Keitel (THE PIANO, PULP FICTION)
"Ken is an inventive, compassionate, versatile, and energetic teacher and performer. His knowledge is deep, his skills are sharp, and he is constantly striving to improve his work. He has strength and power both as an actor and as a teacher. There are few teachers who have as keen an understanding of the relationship between the actor's body, voice, and inner life."
— Moni Yakim (Creator of the Movement Programs at Juilliard & Yale, Author of CREATING A CHARACTER)
"Since I started working with Ken, I have begun booking jobs significantly more often and I believe it is a direct result of his coaching. Ken's teaching is hands down the best training I've gotten in New York. I've watched countless actors in his class shed bad habits, develop the game-changing skill of knowing how to rehearse, and create grounded, truthful, and deeply personal performances, no matter the style or medium. Ken is an exceptionally gifted teacher who has affected my work profoundly, and I recommend him every chance I get."
— Kathryn Merry (ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK, Aquila Theatre Company, Northern Stage, La Jolla Playhouse, GUIDING LIGHT)
"Unlike many acting coaches that impose a particular methodology onto every actor, Ken has an intuitive ability to figure out - and capitalize on - the way in which each individual accesses, harnesses, and shares his or her own imagination. He is the one person I consistently recommend to actors who are looking to improve their work by deepening both their own emotional accessibility and specificity of thought. Nobody I have ever met does this better than Ken Schatz."
— Andrus Nichols (The Rainmaker, Ivo van Hove's A View From the Bridge, BEDLAM's Sense and Sensibility/The Seagull and Saint Joan/Hamlet. Lucille Lortel Award nominee, Helen Hayes award nominee.)
"Ken Schatz is one of the BEST acting teachers. Hands down. It doesn't matter whether you are just starting out or have been working for years, Ken is the key to developing a strong and healthy set of skills that will help your career morph into what you always dreamed it would be."
— Samantha Steinmetz (27 Wagons Full of Cotton, Wild Girl Waltz, BEDLAM's Sense and Sensibility/The Seagull and Saint Joan/Hamlet.)
"After several frustrating years of stagnation as an actor, Ken helped me break through impasses and begin to do work with depth and truth. For the first time, I find I am able to bring my successes in the classroom out into the "real world" of auditions and performance. Ken's insight into the creative process, his patience, and the high standards he sets for both himself and his students make him the best acting coach and teacher in New York."
— Jack Haley (30 ROCK, BOARDWALK EMPIRE, LAW & ORDER: SVU, GREAT HOPE SPRINGS, PIONEER ONE)
"Ken is a fantastic coach. His one-on-one sessions give you the tools to do your best in every audition. He doesn't stop until you are prepared!"
— Vanessa Quijas (THE SOPRANOS, LAW & ORDER: SVU)
"Ken is a tremendously compassionate teacher who knows just what to say at just the right time to get the best out of everyone. A physical, vocal, and mental acrobat of astonishing versatility and intelligence, he has a deep understanding of the actors process. He is one of the best directors I have ever worked with his patience and humor seem inexhaustible! When you call Ken, you know youll get only the best."
— Marcus Weiss (Blue Man Group, ALL MY CHILDREN, Naked Angels Theatre Company)
"Ken is the reason I'm a working actor in New York City! His instruction and motivation have landed me jobs time and time again. If you need an acting coach, look no further."
— Monica Knight (SAVING GRACE, WINDCROFT, BIG FISH)
"Ken's boundless energy and enthusiasm for his work make him a superior teacher. By showing his students the utmost respect and encouragement, he inspires the best kind of creativity: focused yet free, challenging yet fun. There isn't a better person to take artistic risks with than Ken Schatz."
— Kate Wetherhead (SUBMISSIONS ONLY, THE BIG C, THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, LEGALLY BLONDE: THE MUSICAL, Williamstown Theatre Festival)
"Working with Ken has reminded me of why I fell in love with acting in the first place! Ken's passion and enthusiasm are infectious, and his direction is astute and to the point. He inspires you to give your best performance!"
— Anna Hayman (Clubbed Thumb Theatre Company, The Bat Theatre Company)
"Ken is great! Even as he teaches you how to take your physical and vocal instrument seriously, he makes you laugh, and laughter frees up the voice!"
— Amo Gulinello (Cirque du Soleil, De La Guarda, THE OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION)
"Ken has this wonderful enthusiasm for what you, the student, can achieve next! It is hard to find someone as talented and dedicated to the art of acting... on the desert island of acting, I'd take Ken!"
— Rhonda Dodd (Circle in the Square, Hamptons Shakespeare Festival)
"Our students' positive reaction to Ken's teaching has been overwhelming! He is always a pleasure to work with, consistently displaying a rich talent and wonderful interaction with actors and directors alike. Ken's outstanding work as an artist and teacher, and my experience with him as a professional colleague support my belief that he truly knows quality theatre education, and has a tremendous gift for this work."
— E. Colin OLeary (Executive Director, Circle in the Square Theatre School, Board Member, Commission on Accreditation, National Association of Schools of Theatre)
"You made me a singer! I can't thank you enough!"
— Greg Shamie (LAW & ORDER, SIX FEET UNDER, SHAKESPEARE'S R&J)
"Ken doesn't stamp his students with his method, he helps them find the approaches that work for them, and his joy at discovery is contagious. A lot of teachers can tell you how to fix a scene. Rare is the teacher that can teach you to tell yourself how to fix a scene. Creativity and inspiration are self-replenishing, and nowhere is this more true than in Ken's classroom. And outside of it. The learning doesn't start and stop with Ken, he just gives it a good head start. His depth of knowledge of acting approaches commands my respect, his speed and precision in absorbing and transmitting the information of useful experience invokes my awe, and his passion and humanity in teaching inspire my loyalty."
— Dan Truman (RESCUE ME, TOM & FRANCIE, CHAPPELLE'S SHOW, NYU Tisch School of the Arts)
"This level of excellence and professionalism is incredibly rare! With support and freedom, Ken encourages each actor to fly!"
— Rebekah Jacobs (THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL, Theatreworks USA)

FOR RSS February 05, 2015
Pete Kasperowicz
GOP, Dems: Let's make it easier to fire IRS officials

Dozens of House members, including three Democrats, have put forward a new bill that would require the IRS to fire anyone who targets people or groups based on their political beliefs.
The Prevent Targeting at the IRS Act is a response to the scandal that broke last year in which IRS officials applied extra scrutiny to conservative groups that were seeking tax-exempt status. That scandal forced President Barack Obama to fire IRS Acting Commissioner Steven Miller in 2013, but Congress has grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of further accountability at the IRS since then.
Several House members say it needs to be easier to fire IRS officials involved in targeting the political beliefs of taxpayers. Photo Credit: AP
One big example of this frustration has been the loss of key emails from former IRS employee Lois Lerner, who played a key role in overseeing tax exempt applications. Republicans have said it's too hard to believe that these emails were conveniently lost, when they might have shown more details about the effort to target conservative groups.
The bill from Rep. Jim Renacci (R-Ohio) would add political targeting to a list of reasons for immediately firing IRS workers. That list, created by a 1998 law, says IRS workers should be fired for reasons such as lying under oath and other actions against taxpayers.
Renacci's bill would add a new reason to fire IRS workers: "performing, delaying, or failing to perform (or threatening to perform, delay, or fail to perform) any official action (including any audit) with respect to a taxpayer for purpose of extracting personal gain or benefit or for a political purpose."
"If an employee targets taxpayers based on their political beliefs, he or she should be terminated immediately," Renacci said. "Political targeting contradicts the very principles this country was founded upon, and there is no room for it in our democracy. It will not be tolerated."
"It's commonsense legislation that brings accountability to an institution that sorely lacks it, and I expect it to move swiftly through the legislative process."
His bill has 44 cosponsors, including three Democrats: Reps. John Carney (D-Del.), John Delaney (D-Md.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.).
Read the bill here:


This is a twist on one of our favorites. It's loaded with protein, fiber and lots flavor, making it a perfect one-pot meal that will fill you up!
Spread the lentils on a large baking sheet and discard any debris. Soak the lentils in a large bowl of purified water for 30 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Drain and rinse them well before adding to the soup.
Cook the lentils by adding them to 1 3/4 cup boiling water. Reduce the heat and simmer and cook until tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
While the lentils cook, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chili flakes and onion to the oil, sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the garlic, jalapeno, cumin and chili powder and toast the spices with the onions for about 2-3 minutes. While the spices toast, open all cans and rinse the beans. Add the cooked lentils, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beans and bell pepper to the pot. Stir well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let sit for 15-20 minutes minimum, but you can leave it on the stove all day on warm to eat later or to let people graze. Let any leftovers cool and then put into sealed glass containers. Will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days; freezes well.

La Jamància o Camància fou una revolta progressista de caràcter federalista i democràtic que tingué lloc a Barcelona entre setembre i el novembre de 1843, contra el govern de Joaquín María López, que havia incomplert els acords amb la Junta Central per al derrocament del govern d'Espartero, produïda unes setmanes abans i la violació de diverses disposicions en la constitució de 1837. El nom de jamància (del caló jamar, menjar) al·ludia despectivament als membres dels batallons de voluntaris (batallons de la brusa) que probablement s'hi havien apuntat per menjar de franc i cobrar els cinc rals diaris de paga. Fou la darrera de les bullangues produïdes a Barcelona entre el 1836 al 1843. La Jamància representà el primer aixecament nítidament popular contra l'Estat liberal a Espanya. La rendició comportà la submissió definitiva de Barcelona al govern espanyol i la fi d'una oposició organitzada a la centralització de les decisions polítiques endegada pel Partit Moderat.

La revolta va començar el 13 d'agost i anava adreçada contra el govern. Després de la caiguda del govern d'Espartero i la institució d'un nou govern encapçalat per Joaquín María López, es girà contra el govern de Madrid i la Junta Suprema va fer una crida a convocar Corts constituents. Això provocaria la insurrecció centralista iniciada formalment l'1 de setembre a Barcelona, replicada en diversos llocs de Catalunya i algunes províncies d'Espanya, que conduí a la intervenció militar que comportà el bombardeig de la ciutat, especialment des del castell de Montjuïc i des de la Ciutadella, dirigit pel brigadier Prim i centrat contra les drassanes i les muralles, el qual obligà la Junta Suprema a capitular davant el capità general, Laureano Sanz, el 19 de novembre.

Precedents
Essent encara recent el record del bombardeig de Barcelona (1842) no es pot entendre la Jamància sense tenir en compte les dues revoltes produïdes aquell mateix any. La primera iniciada al 3 de juny per a promoure l'enderrocament del govern de regència d'Espartero i després a mitjans d'agost en contra del govern resultant per l'incompliment dels acords assumits per a secundar l'enderrocament d'Espartero. La Junta Central constituïda per a atacar el govern d'Espartero, va ser començada a retirar-li poder executiu i legislatiu. El fet de convertir la Junta Central en un òrgan consultiu més que governatiu enardí els ànims a Catalunya. Tot i la destitució d'Espartero, la convocatòria d'eleccions a les Corts i la dissolució del Senat Espanyol (una clara violació de la Constitució del 1837 i de fet un "cop d'estat" civil) fou percebuda en l'àmbit català com una traïció a la confiança dipositada en el nou govern d'Espanya, sota els lemes "Constitució de 1837, Isabel II i Junta Central" que pactaren amb Francisco Serrano i que el seu successor Joaquín María López López no volgué respectar.

El capità General de Catalunya interí, Jaime Arbuthnot, s'havia refugiat a la Ciutadella, abandonant la ciutat i el fort de Drassanes, ple d'armament. La junta popular havia armat el batalló 1r de voluntaris de Barcelona, dit el Batalló de la brusa sota les ordres de Juan Castells, vocal de la junta, que ocupà el fort de les Drassanes, nomenant governador a Francisco Torras y Riera. L'arribada a la ciutat del governador Joan Prim semblà que posaria fi a les tensions creixents.

Esclat de la violència
La nit de l'1 al 2 de setembre entrà per una bretxa de la muralla a la ciutat el batalló 3r de voluntaris de Catalunya, comandada per Francisco Riera, declarant-se la rebel·lió. Atrinxerant-se durant la nit i la matinada a la plaça de Sant Jaume. El dia 3 Barcelona estava pronunciada, molts disconformes callaven o marxaven de la ciutat. Els sublevats de la junta seguiren fortificant-se al centre de la ciutat, armant-se amb artilleria tretes de les Drassanes. La junta decidí que eren el representant popular, constituint-se com la Junta Suprema Provisional de la Província de Barcelona aquesta la formaven el coronel Antoni Baiges, José Maria Bosch, Vicente Soler, Rafael Degollada, José Vergés, José Massanet, Juan Castells, Agustín Reverter i José Maria Montañá. Dirigiren un discurs a la plaça Sant Jaume sol·licitant en que deien que aviat la resta de províncies d'Espanya els seguirien en la revolta i que cadascun dels districtes judicials enviessin dos comissionats per a representar-los a la junta. Les forces legítimes de la ciutat no feren oir la seva veu: El cap superior polític Joaquín Maximiliano Gibert, es reuní amb el capità general Jaime Arbuthnot. El governador de la Ciutadella Joan Prim s'hi refugià la mateixa nit que el batalló de voluntaris entrà a la ciutat. La Diputació Provincial no donava senyals d'activitat. L'ajuntament reuní molt pocs dels seus individus que manifestaren mantenir-se neutrals. El capità general Jacobo Gil de Aballe restava tancat a la Ciutadella on amb prou feines disposava de tropes per a la seva defensa.

Aquell dia van arribar dos batallons del Regiment de la Constitució a la vila de Gràcia i el vapor el Mallorquín arribava de Tarragona. L'arribada d'aquest buc al Port de Barcelona desencadenà els primers enfrontaments. Els sublevats alertats de la seva arribada es determinaren a impedir el desembarcament de les tropes ocupant el moll. Les tropes de la Ciutadella feren una sortida pel fort de San Carlos, que prengueren el fort de la llanterna. Tanmateix els sublevats protegits pel foc creuat de les Drassanes i les muralles retingueren el poder del moll i feren retrocedir el desembarcament. El vapor sortí del port i procedí al desembarcament a les platges de la Barceloneta allunyat del port a recer del fort de San Carlos. La metralla de la Ciutadella provocà una vintena de baixes entre els sublevats que es refugiaren al baluard de Migdia, davant de la Ciutadella. Aprofitaren l'ocasió les tropes regulars per a ocupar la Barceloneta parapetant-s'hi per tal de consolidar el control sobre el port.

El 4 de setembre la junta publicà un decret per tal de consolidar la seva autoritat proclamant l'execució per tot aquell enxampat in fraganti en la comissió d'un robatori o altres danys a la seguretat de les persones. El coronel Antoni Baiges, president de la junta i cap principal de les forces revoltades és mort d'un tret al pit davant de la muralla de Mar. El seu cadàver és exposat al Palau de la Diputació durant 24 hores. Rafael Degollada substituí a Antoni Baiges com a president de la junta. Creient molta gent que Degollada no era a la ciutat, aquest fa un passeig a cavall per les muralles arengant als membres de la Milícia Nacional i altres combatents. El diari El Imparcial havia d'editar un pamflet dictat per Joan Prim, sabent-ho els centralistes els comminaren a no fer-ho, i els seus propietaris tractaren de traslladar la impremta fora de la ciutat. Els quatre carros on estaven carregant-les foren enviats a Drassanes i les impremtes requisades. El governador Joan Prim i Llorenç Milans del Bosch sortiren a la tarda cap a Gràcia, instal·lant-se amb un batalló de voluntaris al vapor de Francisco Puigmartí, amb una escaramussa amb els revoltats. El dia 4 es comptaren tres morts i sis ferits. Els membres de l'Ajuntament sol·liciten al capità general a la Ciutadella que cessi els atacs a la ciutat, respon aquest que quan cessi el foc provinent de Barcelona farà ell el mateix amb la fortalesa. Per causa dels projectils d'artilleria crema un magatzem de corderia que hi ha fora muralla entre el Portal de Mar i la Ciutadella.

El dia 5 es comptaren dos morts i dotze ferits, deu dels quals foren conduïts a l'Hospital de la Santa Creu de Barcelona. La nit del dia 5 els sublevats una cinquantena d'homes armats fan una sortida fins a Sarrià per tal de fer presoners gent contrària als centralistes, essent rebutjats pels seus veïns i deixant dues víctimes mortals: Ramon Valejo, teixidor de vels de Barcelona i José Margenat, farmacèutic de Sarrià. El castell de Montjuïc estava a càrrec del governador Bernardo Echalecu que fou rellevat pel coronel del Regiment d'Amèrica Fernando Sayas.

Montjuïc entra en joc
S'havien instal·lat bateries a les Drassanes, al punt de la muralla de Hostallers (carrer. Tallers), una altra a Canaletes, i una altra entre Junqueres i la Porta Nova. El dia 7 el castell de Montjuïc trencà el seu silenci, efectuant dos tirs de fogueig a les vuit del matí, aturant-se tot seguit el bombardeig procedent de la Ciutadella. De quatre a set de la tarda els canons de Montjuïc inicià un intens bombardeig contra les Drassanes. Disparant 102 bales, 52 de les quals foren recollides dins del mateix fort. El capità general donà l'ordre al governador de Montjuïc que suspengués el bombardeig. Inicialment, davant d'aquell bombardeig Francisco Torras y Riera governador de les Drassanes lliga la seva corbata negra a la punta d'un drap enarborant aquesta ensenya la resolució de lluitar a mort. Tanmateix poc després fugí de la ciutat.

El dia 8 un repic de campanes iniciat a les onze del matí anuncià que Girona s'hi havia format una junta de pronunciament composta per Ramon Cabrera, Francesc Maranges, Martin Parelols i Lorenzo Autet. Aquesta nomenà a Francisco Ballera comandant general de la província. Figueres secundà també el moviment feta pel batalló de Milícia Nacional i la companyia de sapadors. Tement una incursió des de la Ciutadella a la ciutat els sublevats ocuparen el Passeig de Sant Joan (espai que separava les cases de la Ciutadella), que després de la fustigació de fuselleria efectuades des de la Ciutadella, hagueren d'abandonar després de la mort d'un sergent i alguns ferits (quatre entraren a l'hospital, havent-ne mort un). Aquella nit els pronunciats feren una sortida per la Porta de Sant Antoni una sortida intentant de nou un cop de mà sobre Sarrià o Gràcia, però batuts per les granades llançades des de Montjuïc i el tiroteig de les avançades lleials al govern junt amb un xàfec intens, entraren de nou a la ciutat.

A la una de la tarda del dia 9 el coronel Joan Martell entrà a la ciutat acompanyat dels seus "edecanes" i cavalleria, entrant a galop cap a la plaça de Sant Jaume (o de la Constitució), amb el sabre a la mà i cridant "Viva la unión y la libertad". Després de reunir-se amb la junta anà a la fonda de les Quatre Nacions de la Rambla on hi hagué un banquet amb brindis i sortint tot seguit al balcó per a pronunciar un discurs a la concurrència donant visques a la junta central, a la independència nacional, a la reina i al poble sobirà, davant d'una multitud. Després del dinar Martell acompanyat d'alguns membres de la junta i una vintena d'homes de l'esquadró de Milícia Nacional fins al poble de Sants on reuní una vuitantena d'homes que l'acompanyaren de nou dins de la ciutat.

El dia 10 Ametller arribà a Sants comandant una divisió. En aquell moment revelà als seus comandants la intenció de posar-se del costat dels sublevats i aquests no hi estigueren d'acord, abandonant-lo i enduent-se els respectius batallons. Així doncs, Ametller, només l'acompanyaren dos batallons de Francs, i uns dos-cents homes de l'exèrcit (entre 1.000 i 1.500 homes) a l'interior de Barcelona. Ametller anà a la plaça de la Constitució on junta al palau de la diputació, seu de la junta central, sortí al balcó acompanyat de Martell i altres capitostos revolucionaris, Rafael Degollada feu un discurs justificatiu de l'alçament contra el centralisme, que Hostalric s'havia pronunciat, en el seu nom el coronel Juan Pablo Par. Ametller afirmà que "no hi havia més que dos partits els liberal i els servil" que els centralistes pertanyien al primer i que abans de consentir el triomf dels servils preferia sepultar-se amb els seus camarades entre les enderrocs de la ciutat, concloent amb els crits de "mori Cristina, morin els Narváez, morin els Conchas, morin els tirans". La Junta Central decretà aquell mateix dia que Joan Prim era traïdor i nomenà a Ametller mariscal de camp i capità general de Catalunya.

Durant aquells dies es seguia publicant a Barcelona El Constitucional (diari prorevoltats que a voltes exagerava les possibilitats de la revolta), també hi havia actiu el diario de avisos. La tropa que s'havia separat d'Ametller, el primer batalló de Zamora, es va dirigir al Castell de Montjuïc. El governador del castell no permeté que aquests entressin al castell i en fer-se de nit es dirigí a Gràcia passant després a la Ciutadella. Aquell dia s'embarcaren molt súbdits francesos per intercessió del cònsol francès que els hi proporcionà els bucs. Per ordres de la junta s'obrí la taula de comuns dipòsits extraient-se'n 26.819 rals de billó.

Combat de Sant Andreu
La nit de l'11 al 12 de setembre enmig d'una forta tempesta sortí de Barcelona una columna de més de 2.500 o 2.000 homes segons les fonts, entre francs, milícia i uns 200 de tropa, amb Ametller al seu front, travessant entre Gràcia i el Clot on la tropa es replegava de nit passaren inadvertits rodejant Sant Andreu del Palomar poble a una hora de Barcelona. Allí hi havia restes d'oficials i soldadesca sobrers de la Ciutadella que traslladats allà no hi havien establert guàrdies. Sorpresos molts foren capturats una vuitantena d'oficials i un altre tant de soldats, que foren desarmats. Obligats els primers per la seva paraula d'honor, foren comminats a anar fins a Mataró, ciutat que s'havia alçat del costat de Barcelona. En aquesta maniobra fou afusellat el capità Juan Cadena, per tenir comissió contrària al pronunciament, i un altre fou mort per voler robar alguns cabals quan les tropes d'Ametller les carregaven per a dur-los a Mataró. Després de tres dies a Sant Andreu Ametller partí capa a Mataró, deixant a Martell amb un destacament d'uns mil homes a Sant Andreu. Al pas d'Ametller anava pronunciant els pobles per on passava. Entre l'11 i el 23 només hi hagué 5 baixes entre morts i ferits a Barcelona.

El capità general Miguel de Araoz relleva al capità general el 16 de setembre, i afirma que disposava de forces suficients per a escanyar la rebel·lió. El dia 18 es decidí a prendre l'ofensiva. L'endemà una columna de 3.000 homes dirigida per Joan Prim es dirigí a atacar les forces de Sant Andreu. Aquell dia la pluja havia parat, tot i així Ametller tan bon punt conegué els moviments de Prim creuà el Besòs improvisant un pont amb carros. A les forces d'Ametller que havia arribat a Mataró se li havien unit 800 homes comandats per Francisco Ballera procedents de la província de Girona. Del costat sud del Besós s'establí un combat entre les tropes d'Ametller i Prim, però mancat de cavalleria i artilleria el primer i impedit per un terreny enfangat i l'atac d'artilleria de Prim hagué de tornar a creuar el Besós. Les forces de Prim també tractaren d'atacar Sant Andreu essent rebutjades, resultant en vuitanta baixes entre morts i ferits i 21 presoners entre les tropes del govern de Madrid i 20 baixes entre les files dels pronunciats.

El brigadier Joan Prim tornà a atacar Sant Andreu el dia 22 que pres a l'assalt en un combat de tres hores deixà un balanç de posar en fuita els 1.500 homes manats per Martell, 200 presoners, havent tingut la pèrdua de sis morts (entre ells el comandant de Guias Juan Siscle), 39 ferits (entre ells Llorenç Milans del Bosch) i 22 contusionats. En aquesta acció Ametller no intervengué directament sinó que auxilià la fugida de les tropes sublevades de Sant Andreu. Així mateix des de Barcelona una sortida de 400 homes propicia una maniobra de distracció per tal d'auxiliar els combats de Sant Andreu. No obstant, foren contrarestats pel bombardeig i tiroteig des de la Ciutadella i per un batalló de la Constitució que sortí d'aquesta.

Després d'aquesta acció es dirigiren tres columnes una cap a Girona al càrrec d'Ametller amb mil homes, una altra de 700 homes comandada per Martell dirigida cap al Camp de Tarragona i una altra al càrrec de Riera que intentà progressar cap a Barcelona per Sant Cugat del Vallès. Aquesta columna fou rebutjada per un destacament avançat de les tropes fidels estacades a Gràcia. Al càrrec de José Maria Montañá y Romá, secretari de la Junta havia sortit una columna d'un 150 homes que es dirigiren a Martorell a propagar el moviment, entrant-hi el dia 18. El dia 21 havent-se organitzat el sometent amb veïns de Martorell i dels pobles del voltant. Aquest dirigit per Antonio Baixeras que comandava una seixantena d'homes els obligà a fugir, capturant el mateix Montañá i una cinquantena d'homes.
Pel que fa a la columna de Martell quedà desemparada de l'ajut de la ciutat de Reus que estant en poder dels pronunciats havia caigut en un cop de mà dut a terme pel comandant general de la província de Tarragona Cristóbal Linares amb dos batallons i sis peces d'artilleria.
Martell mancat de forces de suport la seva columna sofrí la deserció de cinquanta homes que fugiren a Tarragona i en darrer terme s'entregà tota la columna fugint Martell amb vuit dels capitostos.

El 24 de setembre arribà a més del pronunciament de Saragossa, les de les d'Osca, Barbastre, tres províncies de Galícia, i Cadis i Granada.
Aquell dia també es feu públic que Ametller es dirigia des de la província de Girona amb forces de l'Empordà amb artilleria i dues columnes una dirigida per Francisco Fort i l'altra per Martell. També es produeix el desallotjament de Sabadell dels centralistes per part de les tropes encapçalades per Prim essent capturat Francisco Riera que havia entrat a Barcelona el primer de setembre.. Els centralistes també són desallotjats de Sant Boi de Llobregat.
Per ordre del govern fou rellevat Araoz i substituït pel tinent general Laureano Sanz, qui rebé el comandament el dia 25 dirigint un discurs als catalans manifestant els seus desitjos de pau i reconciliació que la constitució de 1837 seria observada amb tota exactitud.

El 26 de setembre les forces de Prim prengueren Mataró, on Ametller en la seva fugida cap a Girona havia deixat un destacament d'un batalló de la milícia de Barcelona. El tiroteig es perllongà des de la matinada fins a les 6 de la tarda quan es rendí el darrer reducte atrinxerat en un convent de monges, on hi havia el governador Ramon Herbella amb més de dos-cents homes, En total es feren uns 500 presoners i més de 150 morts. Per aquesta acció Prim és guardonat amb la Gran Creu de Sant Ferran.

El dia 26 la junta excarcerà els presidiaris amb delictes de port d'armes il·legals i deserció amb la promesa de redimir-ne les penes si s'incloïen en la Companyia de Salvaguardias de la libertad a càrrec del capità Ildefonso Vargas, que arribà als 150 homes armats i uniformats perfectament i aquarterats a la Llotja de Barcelona. En aquesta data la Junta comença a repartir sopa i pa als pobres.

La nit del 27 al 28 fugiren de la ciutat Francisco Torres y Riera governador de les Drassanes, el seu germà José, president de la junta d'armament i defensa i comandant del 7é batalló de Milícia Nacional i Juan Nogués, secretari privat de la Junta Suprema. El dia 29 la Junta Suprema ordena l'adscripció a la Milícia Nacional a tots els solters i vidus sense fills entre 17 i 40 anys.

Del 23 al 30 de setembre es produïren 4 morts i sis ferits i el tiroteig havia prosseguit.

Bloqueig de Barcelona i repressió dels pronunciaments
L'1 d'octubre el General Sanz publicà un ban prohibint l'entrada de persones a l'interior de la ciutat, sota pena de mort a aquell que es trobés a la línia intentant entrar-hi queviures. Això provocà un encariment dels aliments peribles. L'alba del dia 4 entra el sometent a Olot desallotjant els centralistes que s'havien pronunciat en aquesta ciutat el 9 de setembre anterior sotmetent-se al govern provisional de Madrid. Penetren les tropes a Almeria que s'havia adherit al pronunciament l'anterior 29 de setembre. A Granada fracassa també aquell dia l'intent de pronunciament que és sufocat per les tropes del Govern. Girona comença a ser atacada per la columna de Prim. Començaren a escassejar a Barcelona la majoria de productes de consum: carn, l'arròs, la llenya, llegums, sal...

El dia 6 d'octubre els pronunciats projectaren assaltar la Ciutadella. El pla involucrava una força d'assalt formada per uns 400 homes de la companyia de presidiaris, la companyia de Milícia Nacional voluntària i l'altra del poble de Sant Martí de Provençals, deixant-se una força de mil homes en reserva al pla de Palau per donar suport a l'atac. Previnguda la tropa durant tota la nit aquest assalt s'intentà a les quatre de la matinada del dia 7 avançant sense cap problema fins als fossats col·locant escales assaltant un dels seu baluard. En arribar a dalt el primer home començaren a disparar des de les troneres de la Ciutadella. El batalló d'Amèrica i les bateries del Príncep i de Don Fernando causaren la desbandada de l'intent d'assalt deixant més d'un centenar de morts en els assaltant entre aquests el vicepresident de la junta José Maria Bosch, i amb prou feines dos soldats i un oficial ferits en la guarnició del fort. El mateix dia 7 també resultà ferit mortalment José Lugar, governador del baluard de Migdia, contra el que havia disparat fortament la Ciutadella. El baluard de Migdia va quedar derruït i les bales disparades des de la Ciutadella impactaven contra els edificis de primera línia, entre ells l'edifici de la Llotja.

El dia 8 a cap a les nou de la nit, després d'un dia sense trets artilleria, la Ciutadella començà a disparar bales rases i granades contra les barricades al seu davant, i la plaça de Sant Jaume; per la seva part des del Castell de Montjuïc es dispararen dues granades a la plaça de Sant Jaume amb una separació d'un quart d'hora entre elles. D'11 a 12 cessà el foc d'artilleria de la Ciutadella i d'aquesta hora fins a l'alba disparà alguns tirs esporàdics. El coronel Francisco Palmés de les Esquadres de Catalunya desarma la Milícia Nacional de l'Hospitalet de Llobregat, conduint les armes a la Ciutadella.

El dia 9 es rebé la notícies d'Ametller i Bellera, dient que Prim havia intentat prendre el Castell de Sant Ferran amb dos batallons, una bateria de muntanya i seixanta cavalls, però que la guarnició formada per 800 nacionals (paisans) no havia volgut rendir-se. Prim es retirà cap a Girona, que gaudia d'una guarnició de 2.800-2.500 homes i havia de ser protegida per columnes estacionades prop de Torroella (1.400 homes) i altres punts (200 homes). A la tarda Montjuïc feu alguns trets i a les deu de la nit la Ciutadella tornà a disparar bales i granades.

El dia 10, aniversari de la reina Isabel II d'Espanya feren els forts les salves d'honor, aprofitant-les nogensmenys per a fer-ho la majoria amb bales. En resposta a això la junta també una salva d'honor des de les bateries de la ciutat també carregades. Aquell dia arribà la notícia del pronunciament d'Almeria, cosa que fou celebrada amb repics de campanes. Tanmateix ja feia cinc dies que aquella revolta havia estat sufocada.

El dia 11 els Salvaguardia amb alguns nacionals feren una sortida seguida d'una escaramussa prop de la Creu Coberta, amb dues baixes i diverses desercions entre els centralistes. La Ciutadella i Montjuïc amb prou feines disparen dotze o quinze trets en aquest dia.

El dia 12 es produí un intercanvi de trets entre la guarnició de la muralla contra una partida de francs que defenien el bloqueig a la falda de Montjuïc. Per tal de donar-los suport feu foc amb dos o tres trets la bateria instal·lada al portal de Sant Antoni, cosa a la qual respongué Montjuïc contra la bateria que es generalitzà a la resta de la ciutat. Cauen uns 400 projectils sobre la ciutat entre ells una granada cau i explota a l'hospital militar de Junqueres.

S'ocupen i expropien per part de la Junta Suprema un magatzem propietat de José Lines, amb diversos quintars de lingots de coure que són usats per a batre moneda menuda que diàriament ascendeixen a un valor 20.000 rals en peces de tres i sis quartos.

El dia 13 és deposada i desarmada la Milícia Nacional de Sant Andreu. La nit d'aquell dia hi ha una escaramussa iniciada per una sortida de centralistes davant de la Ciutadella en els jardins de l'Espalanada. En resposta a aquest apropament hi ha una sortida de soldats de la Ciutadella per a repel·lir aquesta avançada. Tots dos bàndols reben el suport d'alguns trets de les seves bateries d'artilleria. Tot plegat es contagia arreu especialment als sectors de la Porta de Sant Antoni i la Ciutadella, acabant el rebombori a les vuit del matí de l'endemà.
El dia 14, a causa de l'escassedat de pólvora, la junta ordenà que no s'efectuessin trets excepte en cas d'atac. La Junta Suprema expropia allò que li convé: cansalada, teles... aportant als propietaris un document justificatiu de l'acte.

La matinada del dia 15 (diumenge) José Buxó capità dels nacionals fa una sortida cap a una avançada de la línia de bloqueig amb una trentena d'homes i capturen algunes motxilles i útils militars prop del pont dit de les Bigues. A dos quarts de tres el Fort Pius dispara tres bales contra el baluard de Sant Pere, a les tres la Ciutadella disparà un tret de bala i cap a les set una vintena de canonades contra el baluard de Migdia i la bateria de Sant Sebastià.

El 18 d'octubre es disparen 91 bales i 43 granades des de Montjuïc, 4 granades i 5 bales des de la Ciutadella, una granada des del Fort Pius, fets que es perllonguen entre dos quarts de deu del matí al llarg de tot el dia. La Junta Suprema s'apropia de la caixa del Col·legi de Medicina i Cirurgia amb un contingut de 250.000 rals de billó (rs. vn.), l'endemà fa el mateix amb la del Col·legi de Farmacèutics apoderant-se d'uns 130.000 rs. vn.

El dia 20 plou i fa fred, la Ciutadella envia 372 bales i 14 granades contra Barcelona, Montjuïc "només" en dispara 4 bales i 3 granades i el Fort Pius tres bales i dues granades.

La matinada del 22 hi ha una sortida de Barcelona per fustigar els sometents de Berga i Sarrià instal·lats al peu de Montjuïc. Hi intervingueren les Salvaguardies i una nova companyia dita dels "Vigilantes del Llano" formada de nou sota comandament de Gregorio de Alba. La sortida no és gaire fructífera, ja que la pólvora fabricada a Barcelona és de mala qualitat. Són morts 3 salvaguardies i cinc deserten al bàndol governamental.

Entre els dies 22 i 24 hi hagué un fort bombardeig d'artilleria sobre Barcelona des de totes les posicions artilleres governamentals: Montjuïc, la Ciutadella, Fort Pius i Fort San Carlos. Es llançaren 1.351 projectils el primer dia, 644 el segon i 2.830 el tercer, provocant una matança considerable, ja que entre els projectils s'hi contaren uns 829 projectils buits (granades i bombes) només el dimarts 24. Molts dels comerços estaven tancats pel que els transeünts no s'hi podien refugiar en sentir caure els projectils. Aquell dia la Junta Suprema ordena que s'obrin a tota hora les portes dels comerços.Durant el mes d'octubre hi hagué una trentena de morts i més d'un centenar de ferits, només entre els personal armat de Barcelona.

Rendició de Barcelona
A principis de novembre es calculava que la població de Barcelona era d'uns 50.000 habitants una quarta part de la seva població normal. A més els diversos hospitals presidis i cases de caritat hi havia pràcticament 3.600 persones, i cada dia 17.000 persones rebien la sopa dels pobres.

El vuit de novembre les Corts Espanyoles declaren major d'edat a la reina Isabel II per 193 vots a favor i 16 en contra.
El dia 9 de novembre Montjuïc disparà 32 bales i 39 granades, la Ciutadella 50 bales i 24 granades i el fort de Don Carlos 11 bales i 8 granades. Aquell dia a Girona es decidí enviar comissionats José Soler y Matas i José Oriol Ronquillo, que l'endemà es reuniren amb Prim a Gràcia. Durant aquests dies es realitzen diverses reunions per pactar les condicions de la rendició. Tot i les negociacions Montjuïc llança 15 granades i 10 bales contra Drassanes el dia 15, i 6 bales i 8 granades el dia 16.

El dia 17 la junta resolgué enviar cinc comissionats a la Ciutadella a negociar la capitulació de la ciutat: aquests foren Caralt, Prats, Parreño, Montoto i Balzo. Aquests l'endemà passaren a la Ciutadella al matí sortint-ne a les tres de la tarda deixant acordada un conveni de pau. El dia 19 fart de reunions infructuoses amb els sublevats el capità general comunicà un ultimàtum per a les 12 de la nit d'aquell dia pel qual si no confirmaven el conveni no acceptaria cap més acord que la rendició incondicional i que al matí reiniciaria els atacs a Barcelona. A les deu de la nit sortien els comissionats cap a la Ciutadella confirmant la capitulació. A les dotze del migdia entrà un regiment a la ciutat rellevant tots els punts de la plaça. A la una entrà el general amb uns 6.000 homes, que feu un discurs a la Rambla que exhortà a la unió. Les pèrdues per part dels pronunciats al novembre fou de 5 morts i 20 ferits. El nombre total de projectils llançats sobre Barcelona fou de 12.000. Per ordre del capità general es lliuraren passaports cap a Portvendres per als membres de la Junta Suprema que s'embarquen a les onze de la nit del dia 20 al vapor de guerra francès Papin.

Phil started his cooking career over 30 years ago working up from a helper to Sous Chef at the Officer's Club while stationed at Fort Ritchie in Maryland. Phil continued to follow his passion for cooking in many different settings across the country, venturing west into Wyoming, then north to Alaska.
N eedless to say, during his 17 years living in Kodiak, Alaska it was tough to come up with the great woods like apple, hickory or pecan so he had to be content with smaller BBQs using chips of the wonderful woods. He did, however, perfect the art of smoking so well that some summers found him working with over 1,000 pounds of wild Alaska salmon for friends and neighbors!
After leaving Alaska for the warmer, drier climate of Arizona, Phil was able to pursue his BBQ passion year 'round! Phil began catering for private parties, weddings, birthdays, high school fundraisers, corporate BBQs and neighborhood gatherings. After observing and cooking with other teams at several competitions, Phil became Pit Master of his own competition team and has been winning awards around Arizona since.

The Composition and Structure of Earth
Core, mantle, and crust are divisions based on composition. The crust makes up less than 1 percent of Earth by mass, consisting of oceanic crust and continental crust is often more felsic rock. The mantle is hot and represents about 68 percent of Earth's mass. Finally, the core is mostly iron metal. The core makes up about 31% of the Earth. Lithosphere and asthenosphere are divisions based on mechanical properties. The lithosphere is composed of both the crust and the portion of the upper mantle that behaves as a brittle, rigid solid. The asthenosphere is partially molten upper mantle material that behaves plastically and can flow.
Crust and Lithosphere
Earth's outer surface is its crust; a cold, thin, brittle outer shell made of rock. The crust is very thin, relative to the radius of the planet. There are two very different types of crust, each with its own distinctive physical and chemical properties.Oceanic crust is composed of magma that erupts on the seafloor to create basalt lava flows or cools deeper down to create the intrusive igneous rock gabbro. Sediments, primarily muds and the shells of tiny sea creatures, coat the seafloor. Sediment is thickest near the shore where it comes off the continents in rivers and on wind currents.Continental crust is made up of many different types of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. The average composition is granite, which is much less dense than the mafic igneous rocks of the oceanic crust. Because it is thick and has relatively low density, continental crust rises higher on the mantle than oceanic crust, which sinks into the mantle to form basins. When filled with water, these basins form the planet's oceans.The lithosphere is the outermost mechanical layer, which behaves as a brittle, rigid solid. The lithosphere is about 100 kilometers thick. The definition of the lithosphere is based on how earth materials behave, so it includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, which are both brittle. Since it is rigid and brittle, when stresses act on the lithosphere, it breaks. This is what we experience as an earthquake.
The two most important things about the mantle are: (1) it is made of solid rock, and (2) it is hot. Scientists know that the mantle is made of rock based on evidence from seismic waves, heat flow, and meteorites. The properties fit the ultramafic rock peridotite, which is made of the iron- and magnesium-rich silicate minerals. Peridotite is rarely found at Earth's surface.Scientists know that the mantle is extremely hot because of the heat flowing outward from it and because of its physical properties. Heat flows in two different ways within the Earth: conduction and convection. Conduction is defined as the heat transfer that occurs through rapid collisions of atoms, which can only happen if the material is solid. Heat flows from warmer to cooler places until all are the same temperature. The mantle is hot mostly because of heat conducted from the core. Convection is the process of a material that can move and flow may develop convection currents.Convection in the mantle is the same as convection in a pot of water on a stove. Convection currents within Earth's mantle form as material near the core heats up. As the core heats the bottom layer of mantle material, particles move more rapidly, decreasing its density and causing it to rise. The rising material begins the convection current. When the warm material reaches the surface, it spreads horizontally. The material cools because it is no longer near the core. It eventually becomes cool and dense enough to sink back down into the mantle. At the bottom of the mantle, the material travels horizontally and is heated by the core. It reaches the location where warm mantle material rises, and the mantle convection cell is complete.

At the planet's center lies a dense metallic core. Scientists know that the core is metal for a few reasons. The density of Earth's surface layers is much less than the overall density of the planet, as calculated from the planet's rotation. If the surface layers are less dense than average, then the interior must be denser than average. Calculations indicate that the core is about 85 percent iron metal with nickel metal making up much of the remaining 15 percent. Also, metallic meteorites are thought to be representative of the core.If Earth's core were not metal, the planet would not have a magnetic field. Metals such as iron are magnetic, but rock, which makes up the mantle and crust, is not. Scientists know that the outer core is liquid and the inner core is solid because S-waves stop at the inner core. The strong magnetic field is caused by convection in the liquid outer core. Convection currents in the outer core are due to heat from the even hotter inner core. The heat that keeps the outer core from solidifying is produced by the breakdown of radioactive elements in the inner core.

Blender is one of a must have tool in kitchen. It is very useful for mix ingredients and puree food. It has 2 main parts, Blender base and glass bowl. Even we call it glass bowl but it can be made from plastic or stainless steel. On top of bowl is a lid to prevent mixed ingredients to pop up during blended operation and at the bottom is a replaceable blade.
As for general purpose blenders comes with minimum tools, replaceable blade and main base. But there are some more advance blenders has high performance and higher price. Most of the blenders have from 300 to 600 watts, but sometime blender with 1300 watts is needed for some purposes. If you plan to buy a blender, try to remember to consider choosing the right color, and size of the blender. But you should have no problem finding one, because usually one model type of blender has a lot of design and color.
It is believed the first electrical blender invented by Dr. Oliver Johnson Schofield, an English engineer in 1921.
To make smooth purées of semi-solid ingredients, such as for creating mesh cassava.
To help dissolve solids into liquids.
Food dye as your needs.
Peel Cassava, cleanse it, and slice it dice. Boil it until tendered.
Serve it for 20 people.
Take it while it hot, blend it until soften with blender.
Cook sugar, water and vanilla until sugar melted.
Pour it into Cassava. Add grated coconut.
Mix well. Add a food dye.
Put into dough roller then slice as you need.


…not really. But my corset is! Last night I put an outfit together for a corset event, and it gave me a great opportunity to wear this corset with a melting, dripping latex panel that I picked up at 100 Block. The shoes are also from 100 Block. They're original mesh, and I just love the spider design. I took two pictures so that the spider can be better seen. My pants are actually not mesh – they're a texture layer, but they look very nice when applied to my mesh body! The arm warmers are from my favourite cybergoth store, A&Y Bunker. I love the myriad of colour options that can be changed via HUD. Every single part is colour change, and the combination options are endless. My hair is Tableau Vivant, and of course, my ears are Soul Uni Ears. The necklace is something I found at Plastik for Fifty Linden Friday…and I forgot to take my Daddy's Girl necklace off for the pictures, so I have that on, as well. The only mesh body I really wear is the Eve Slim…I really recommend giving the Eve bodies a try if you are searching for a mesh body. I don't have much experience with the curvier "Pulpy" version, but I love my Slim. The alpha HUD is great, and the shape is amazing. It's one of the few bodies I have tried that maintains its shape even when parts are at the lower or higher end of the sliders, and it fits standard sizing mesh very well. Overall, I encourage people to try it if they're looking to get a mesh body.

→Persian Cat Cost- How Much Should You Pay?
Persian Cat Cost- How Much Should You Pay?
So you've decided to buy one of the most glorious, beautiful cats around but what is the cost of a Persian cat.
The Persian cat is one of the most well-known breeds of cat, instantly recognisable by its flat face and long luxurious coat. The Persian cat is hugely popular around the world, originally from Iran, these fluffy flat faced cats have made their way into many a domestic household.
When buying a Persian cat there are quite a few factors that will determine how much you should pay.
If the Persian cat you're buying is a full pedigree and has certificates proving this then generally you will pay more. Obviously, when buying your new Persian kitten you will want a full-breed Persian. I would always ask to see the parents of the kitten to verify that the Persian is pure and not a mix.
If you're buying an ultra-flat faced Persian then, in general, it's very hard to mix the breed without you knowing. If one of the parents is a normal cat with a pointed nose then the kitten won't have a flat face.
Show cats or cats that have champion blood in their family will normally come at a premium.
Doll face and ultra-flat faced Persians tend to differ slightly in price, the latter being slightly more expensive in my experience.
Certain colours tend to be more expensive than others, white tends to be a premium over darker colours as does blue eye colour. This, obviously, isn't a given and there may be some variance depending on the time of year etc.
This, in my opinion, will be the main reason you pay more or less for your Persian cat. In the UK where I live Persian cats are quite expensive and I know this is the same for most of the USA and Canada. In places within Eastern Europe, the price of Persian cats is substantially less than in the west.
I've seen full pedigree Persians going for 100 euros in Lithuania and Poland. Where in the UK the average Persian would be £500-£600+ and similar in the USA and Canada.
If you're buying from a registered breeder who's recognised by say the Cat Fancy association or any other of the nationally recognised bodies then usually you will pay a premium as a result.
It all depends on your budget really, buying from a registered breeder who's got a long history of breeding healthy litters of kittens is always a good place to start especially as a first-time buyer. Persian cats do, unfortunately, suffer from some hereditary issues such as Polycystic kidney disease (PKD), breathing difficulties, excessive tearing and progressive retinal atrophy (PRA). Most of these can be bred out but it's worth bearing in mind that most Persian cats will have some eye related issues.
Kittens are usually much more expensive than an older Persian cat, most people prefer to get a kitten as they can watch it grow up and develop. And of course, kittens are incredibly cute!
Older cats shouldn't be discarded though as they can be brilliant companions and usually a lot cheaper, not to mention they're often fully litter and house trained. I really am a huge fan of re-homing rescue cats and giving a homeless cat a new home.
The other main benefit of buying a Persian cat that's not a kitten is that you can really get a good deal, if someone, for instance, has multiple cats and one cat isn't getting on with the other then they may need to sell the cat quite quickly and will often price it very cheaply as they aren't bothered about making money as such.
I've seen Persian cats very cheap on the classified ad sites before sometimes for as little as £200 for a 3 or 4-year-old cat and a well looked after Persian cat kept inside can live 15-20 years so they have plenty to offer even at 10 years old!
Ultimately your decision will be based on your budget, paying more doesn't always mean you will get a high-quality pedigree, I've seen many instances where people have paid lots of money for a so-called show cat and they really aren't any different to any other Persian.
It also depends on what you intend to do with the cat, if you have ideas about breeding then you may want to get a cat that's parents are either show winners or pedigree cats that are recognised by the governing bodies. This will ensure quality to some extent and good resale values of the kittens.
It's worth noting that you should always negotiate with anyone you're buying a kitten or cat from as you can often get a reduced rate. But be respectful when doing this as some people can get insulted.
It's hard to say exactly how much you should pay as there are so many factors as listed in this post but as a general rule in most currencies I would say mid three figures is a good place to be for a 12-week old kitten.

Why The Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Is Additional Powerful Than You Feel Urmc Newsroom
Berg's suffering technique and Benoit's Rectification methods each were developed from undertaking case studies of how Johnson & Johnson handled the Tylenol poisonings . By withdrawing all Tylenol, even though there was little likelihood of discovering much more cyanide laced tablets Johnson & Johnson showed that they have been not willing to take a threat with the public's security, even if it expense the corporation millions of dollars. The end result was the public viewing Tylenol as the unfortunate victim of a malicious crime . I am certain it was a Johnson & Johnson ad for a infant solution but can not look to discover it a nywhere. It shows the baby's head, it really is proper arm and partial back and diaper. Although we may possibly not be sure what revolutionary product it will come up with next, but we can say with absolute certainty that come what may perhaps, the enterprise will continue to set the bar greater and scale-up.
When it appeared that he may face a stiff challenge for the 1968 Democratic presidential nomination, Johnson announced his decision not to run for re-election. Like the three presidents just before him, Johnson was determined to stop read full article North Vietnamese communists from taking more than the U.S.-supported government of South Vietnam. A believer in the now-discredited "domino theory," Johnson worried that America's security depended on containing the spread of communism around the globe.

Our findings corroborate these of several previously published smaller research and meta-analyses.
Although upholding the jury's liability locating, Lebovits wrote on Nov. 11 that the damages were as well high, and the Olsons could either accept the lowered award or have a new trial on damages. The senators in a Nov. 10 letter called the move a "corporate shell game" that would shield the corporation from liability in these instances. Johnson & Johnson expects the split to happen in the next two years, if approved by the company's board of directors. He wanted the family members to leave the stock untouched so it could compound into a genuinely impressive quantity of wealth. Robert Jr., realizing he was the only living Robert at this point, dropped the diminutive (he would later turn into "General Johnson" following Globe War II) and was hired at Johnson & Johnson as a lowly millhand.
No matter if the two announcements are related or not, it is an fascinating time for the 135-year-old household name. Talc lawsuits and the inherent risks of drug development aside, J&J appears to be set up for success over the coming decade. In all, Janssen is testing the drug in ten rare diseases as nicely as in rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus.

J&J's reorganization approach is nonetheless getting appealed by plaintiff lawyers in a federal appellate court and is presently being scrutinized by Congress. The controversial bankruptcy approach, which was legalized 30 years ago, has been attempted only a handful of instances by other corporations hunting to steer clear of big liabilities. The subsidiary immediately filed for bankruptcy although listing assets at $10 billion. The controversial move, which permits a firm to separate assets from liabilities, would make a trust fund to far more simply resolve the thousands of lawsuits.

In spite of having a heart attack in 1955, Johnson worked tirelessly to market himself and his agendas, like civil rights legislation and the American space plan. His capability to persuade politicians of both parties was legendary. Johnson was practically killed in World War II.

Unfortunately, he is old sufficient vividly to try to remember the Pueblo incident. Pueblo's seizure led to calls for retaliation nationwide, but President Lyndon B. Johnson had few genuine selections for action. Within days, the Tet Offensive would disrupt the Vietnam War, shredding public assistance for the conflict and forcing Johnson's withdrawal from the 1968 presidential election. Johnson swiftly implemented diplomatic actions that kept the lid on South Korea, incensed by the North's assassination attempt, and led to the crew's release, two days before Christmas in 1968. American negotiators finally broke the impasse by agreeing to an apology that the U.S. renounced prior to signing it, a process Cheever documents in detail from contemporary memos and personal accounts.
Johnson & Johnson had much more than 400 workers and 14 buildings by 1894. In 1894, the company began creating Johnson's Infant Powder, the company's 1st infant solution. When Moderna and Pfeizer came out, the CDC FAQs spent rather a bit of time reassuring individuals that mRNA does not enter the nucleus and as a result can not interact with a person's DNA.
The difficulties observed with the mRNA vaccines — principally an inflammation of the heart — aren't almost so deadly. Ohnson & Johnson's Covid vaccine was going to be a shot for the planet. Now, under the weight of a mountain of undesirable PR, 1 wonders if the world will want it.

Alabama Pioneers Honored ⁄ Biographies ⁄ Genealogy Information
BIOGRAPHY: Howell Rose – (1791-1866)
March 3, 2019 January 21, 2019 by Donna R Causey
HOWELL ROSE
BIOGRAPHY and GENEALOGY
North Carolina, Georgia, Coosa County, Alabama
(Excerpt from History of Coosa County: by the Rev. George Evans Brewer, 1887)
Howell Rose was a native of North Carolina, where he was born in 1791, but was early brought to Putnam County, Georgia, by his parents. He came to Alabama in 1816, settling just west of Wetumpka in Autauga County.
In 1819 he was elected to the Senate as a member of the first Legislature that convened in the State after its admission into the Union. He held the place three years, but then retired from public life, devoting himself to business so successfully that he became very wealthy. He removed to Coosa in 1834, and was the most wealthy citizen of the county and among those of the State. He settled about four miles above Wetumpka, near the Indian town of Little Tallassee. He started life poor, but his wife brought him some property, but the most of his great estate of land, slaves, and money were the outcome of his industry and management. His estate (after the freedom of his slaves, the loss and depreciation of the war) at his death was estimated at $400,000.00.
In 1843 the people induced him to offer for the House, and he was elected. Yancey was in the Senate at the time. Rose continued in the House through 1843-44-45, making a vigorous effort to have the capitol removed from Tuscaloosa to Wetumpka. For awhile there was strong hopes of success, but Montgomery secured the prize. After this, though feeling interest and taking an active part in a private way in politics, he was no more before the public for office.
In his person he was tall, of a large, well-proportioned frame, and had a commanding appearance. He was a man of strong mind, firm convictions, indomitable will, and earnest in his likes and dislikes. He was brusque in speech, uttering his thoughts without much regard to whether it would please or offend the hearer. He was devoid of policy which shapes itself to the thoughts of others. When once offended he was almost implacable.
Mr. Thompson, a fine artist of Wetumpka, painted, by agreement, a splendid full length portrait of Rose standing by the side of a horse he had ridden in the chase. One hand was on the horse's withers, holding the bridle reins. The other held the gun, the butt of which rested on the ground. There laid, at his feet a fine stag just killed, the blood oozing from the hole where the ball had entered; and around him a pack of panting hounds, watching the victim they had chased to his death. The painting was good, the scene natural, and the finish of the picture was that peculiarly bright tone which characterized Thompson's paintings. Before the painting was completed Thompson had done something that offended Rose, and he refused to take the picture. Suit was brought, but he fought the case from court to court. When judgment went against him of course payment had to be made, but he would not then have the picture, and a good while afterward the writer saw it in the studio.
Some people depredated much on a large body of woodland lying some miles above Wetumpka, hauling pine off of it to their homes and to Wetumpka for sale. He ran ditches around it for miles where it was exposed, to protect his pine. Still some would trespass. Going along the road one day he met a lad with a wagon load of lightwood that he was satisfied had been taken from his premises. He deliberately set fire to the load, and let it and the wagon burn down. For this he was sued, and heavy damages obtained, but he seemed satisfied as he had his revenge.
He was a large money lender but asked only eight per cent interest. In the fall of 1865, a small band of Federal soldiers who had heard of his wealth, and that he probably had a good sum of gold, went to his house and demanded it. He refused to gratify their demand. They broke open all places where they supposed it might be concealed, and tore up his hearths in the hope of finding it. Failing, they threatened to kill him if he did not give them the money or reveal its hiding place. He replied they could not shorten his days much. They hung him for awhile, and let him down, asking if he would not tell them now. His reply was, "I have it, but would see you in hell before I would tell you." They hung him up the third time, and had nearly finished him, and likely would have done so, had not Major Ed Ready and some others from Wetumpka come to the rescue just then. When the squad of Federals left Wetumpka these men suspected the squad was after some mischief, and as soon as they could procure horses and weapons they followed, coming in time to save Colonel Rose's life. The Wetumpkians were discovered by the Federals time enough to mount and start from the house of Colonel Rose. Ready and his crowd followed, but the soldiers made through the woods to the river and passed over amid the fire of the pursuers, but only one of the gang was killed. Rose died not a great while after this, leaving a widow. He had no children. He gave the Ft. Jackson plantation to Col. Liddon Saxon, Benjamin Trimble, and W. T. Hatchett as compensation for being executors of his will.
NOTE: Below is additional information from Reminiscences of Public Men in Alabama: For Thirty Years by William Garrett, Plantation Publishing Company's Press 1872
Rose represented Autuaga County in the Senate in 1819. Afterward, he was involved in many fierce political and personal broils. He also owned extensive bodies of land in Autauga and Lowndes Counties. The loss of his very large property by the war, or at least a considerable portion of it, preyed upon his spirits, and probably hastened his death in 1866.
Faith and Courage: A Novel of Colonial America (Tapestry of Love) (Volume 2) In this action-packed novel depicting true events the family saga from Tapestry of Love continues with Ambrose Dixon's family. George Willson witnesses the execution of King Charles II and is forced to leave the woman he loves to witch hunters in 17th century England as he flees to his sister, Mary, and her husband Ambrose Dixon's home in Colonial American. Ridden with guilt over difficult decisions he made to survive, George Willson and the Dixon's embrace the Quaker faith which further creates problems for their existence in the New World.
