Graham Grose, Global Industry Director of Aerospace and Defence at IFS, forecasts the three key trends set to impact the defence industry in 2017.
A new wave of technologies and an increase in cyber-based attacks are forcing the defence industry to adapt.
While defence budgets are under scrutiny in the West, defence spending is increasing dramatically in the Middle East and Asia-Pac regions, opening new markets for growth and opportunity. It truly is an industry in flux.
In 2017 I expect performance-based logistics (PBL), a strategy that optimises total system availability while minimising costs and logistics footprint, will deliver huge changes and opportunities for the rapidly growing Middle East and Asia-Pacific defence markets.
Saudi Arabia surpassed Russia as the third largest military spender in 2015 while the UAE has now entered the global top 15 spenders. Rising border tensions in Asia-Pac have also been met with increased budgets.
In the past, MoDs in the region have supported local companies with offset agreements to supply spare parts and facilitate the logistics process.
However, ME and APAC armed forces are expected to look a step beyond this into higher efficiency and availability in 2017.
In fact, we're already seeing such deals in the region, with the Japan Maritime Self Defence Force (JMSDF) recently signing a PBL deal with Airbus for the maintenance, parts supply and repair of its training helicopters.
Organisations in the region are not just being judged on the delivery of military capability and the efficiency and completion of operations any more but on cost effectiveness too.
This comes at a time when many ME and APAC organisations are undergoing significant structural transformation as forces continue to mature and defence budgets increase.
PBL bases decisions on the contractor's ability to perform maintenance efficiently and cost-effectively. Rather than traditional procurement, there are various flavours of PBL ranging from the 'spares and repairs' approach to full contracting for availability.
Australia is already considering the value-proposition of PBL. The Australian MoD is implementing PBL contracts into the Joint Strike Force programme. Expect to see more ME and APAC organisations jump on the PBL trend in 2017.
In the past, OEMs would sell or lease an aircraft to the military which would take control and maintain the asset themselves. With PBL, there is much more emphasis on working at the asset itself, but software providers are being helped by new opportunities provided by the Internet of Things (IoT).
IoT-enabled sensors allow for the recording of data in real-time as the asset is still in use and alert engineers on the ground who can prepare for repair work. We're already there with the F-35. All versions of the fifth-generation fighter include ALIS (Autonomic Logistics Information System), a self-diagnostic solution that alerts maintenance engineers as soon as a fault appears.
Also we will see more uses of data collection and analysis techniques such as the Health Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS) and condition-based maintenance solutions. These reduce unnecessary maintenance, which in turn cuts the total cost of ownership and prolongs the lifespan of the asset – an important aspect as contracts for modern military assets can last up to 25 years or more.
Drones are flying off the shelves in the consumer market, but potential advantages also exist for defence maintenance operations. EasyJet is already doing this in the commercial space but the same can be applied in the defence sector to reduce the time and costs associated with the maintenance of assets.
The UK Royal Navy is using drones to scan Navy vessels for damage. Due to the size and area of naval ships, inspections now take hours rather than days, with fewer people involved and can even be done while at sea.
In the future, we may even see automated maintenance drones than can pick up on faults or damage and do the repairs themselves without the control of an engineer. Trials of autonomous maintenance drones are already happening in the oil and gas industry, so it won't be long until this idea becomes a reality in defence.
The US army is already investing in virtual reality for soldier training to improve skills, save costs and boost readiness.
As well as military training, the technology will also improve the way maintenance is carried out. XMReality has designed a military version of their augmented reality solution for the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) because of the increased efficiency the technology offered organisations in other industries.
The XMReality approach allows for two-way communications between an engineer and a maintenance expert located anywhere in the world and in real-time. For example, an engineer working in the dark can do so using an optical head mounted display (OHMD) to display guidance data and documentation. Images from the device are sent to an expert who can project information back to the engineer for real-time demonstration, helping improve first-time fix rates and decrease the chances of human error.
If you need a repair, why not print a spare?
There is no doubt that 3D printing will become a huge disruptor in 2017. No longer just a buzzword, the military are already looking into the potential of printing spare parts and military equipment in-theatre to drive down costs and drive up availability.
The A&D sector is set to become one of the biggest contributors to 3D printing's global revenues, predicted to reach a mammoth $1.4 billion by 2019, producing parts in-house - a development that will completely reshape the relationship between contractors and manufacturers.
Currently, all branches of defence organisations rely on the commercial industry for spare parts and materials. But it won't be long until the military starts to produce its own. Tier 2/3 suppliers will need to jump on the 3D bandwagon fast, or risk losing business.
Organisations need to be better able and prepared to defend networks and data against sophisticated cyber threats.
Investment in cyber security is growing, with research forecasting $1 trillion will be spent globally on projects in the next five years, driven by an increase in attacks and security concerns. Yet despite increasing investment, traditional security strategies have struggled to defend against sophisticated cyber-attacks and protect valuable data, made worse by legacy systems and basic security tools.
Look out in 2017 for a new breed of cybersecurity solutions that offer a forward-looking and holistic approach, with a better view of entire security operations to monitor and react to attacks, and where to focus resources to maximise security while attaining business goals.
The defence industry is in a state of flux. Budgets are shifting due to increased border tensions, the rising threat of cyber-attacks and the transformation of supply chains and support.
Defence organisations cannot afford to be caught flat-footed. 2017 will start to see defense organisations continue to realign their strategies to take advantage of disruptive technologies - and further tighten their focus on keeping their assets available and ready for deployment as efficiently as possible.

Earlier today, Mawlana Hazar Imam presided over the inauguration of Sunder Nursery in Delhi, together with Vice-President of India and guest of honour Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu.
Sunder Nursery, a 90-acre city park situated in the heart of the nation's capital, incorporates distinct heritage and ecological and botanical zones as part of a wider urban renewal initiative in the Nizamuddin area of Delhi. The complex lies in the vicinity of the shrine of the great sufi saint, Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, who lived in the region in the 13th and 14th centuries, and after whom the area takes its name.
As part of a public-private partnership, the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) commenced conservation and landscaping works at the site in 2007. Designed by the late landscape architect Professor M. Shaheer, the area has flourished into a park comprising of formal and informal gardens, water features, orchards, pavilions, bird habitats, and a sunken amphitheatre for cultural events and festivals. The Mughal-inspired central areas feature marble fountains and flowing water set amidst geometric flower beds, and raised pathways.
In his remarks at the inauguration ceremony, Mawlana Hazar Imam stated "it is the garden, down through history, that has often symbolised the harmonious interaction of divine blessing and human creativity. This merging of nature's gifts with human design is an ideal that is deeply embedded, of course, both in Indian culture and in Islamic traditions, with the flow of refreshing water reminding us of the abundance of divine blessing."
During his speech, Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu acknowledged Mawlana Hazar Imam's contributions to the Nizamuddin area and beyond.
"The work that has been accomplished so far at Humayun's Tomb, Nizamuddin Basti, and Sunder Nursery Complex is magnificent and truly very impressive," Venkaiah Naidu said. "For Nizamuddin Auliya, like many great saints of India; love of God implied the love of humanity. It is quite fitting that this inaugural ceremony is being held in your presence, Your Highness, because you have demonstrated the spirit of love of humanity through your innumerable activities."
The newly inaugurated Sunder Nursery in Delhi marks the seventh such park undertaken by AKTC, joining a variety of similarly developed and restored green spaces in urban areas of Afghanistan, Canada, Egypt, Mali, Tajikistan, and Zanzibar. These parks have contributed not only aesthetic beauty through gardens and green environs, but also public spaces for leisure, and the potential for socio-economic progress in the local area — in the process providing a springboard for development.
"All of these projects were designed to honour the past — while also serving the future." said Hazar Imam addressing the audience. "And it is with the future in mind that we now dedicate the Sunder Nursery as one of the world's great public parks — open to all for recreation, for contemplation, for education, and for inspiration."

23by23 initiative to increase female representation on rosters' labels
· December 1, 2021 ··4 min read
The #23by23 campaign challenges labels to increase their percentage of female producers to 23% or more by the end of 2023
Sydney Blu
With the support of LP Giobbi, Femme House, Ableton Live, Native Instruments, DJ Minx, and Baby Weight, highly respected electronic artists Sydney Blu and Rebekah are launching a new initiative, calling on labels to commit to increasing the number of female artists on their roster.
Starting December 11/12 and running through 2022, record labels Toolroom Records, Club Sweat, Gorgon City's Realm Records, So-ma Records, Desert Hearts, Walker and Royce's Rules Don't Apply, and more to be announced will support the initiative with remix competitions and demo challenges on the Metapop community powered by Native Instruments.
In collaboration with the campaign, Ableton Live will host some online production content open to women, trans, and non-binary artists throughout 2022, and LP Giobbi's Femme House Fridays will have a 23×23 takeover on their Twitch Channel on Friday, December 10. To be a part of it, if you identify as female, trans or non-binary, join the Female and Gender-Non-Conforming producer group on Metapop.
"We don't receive many demos from women," "not many women produce music," and "we already have one girl on our label." When asked about the lack of female artists on their label, Sydney Blu, Rebekah, and many other female producers have received similar responses from (usually) male A&R reps of dance record labels.
It's disheartening to see the lack of female visibility on lineups and music festivals time and time again for women, trans, and non-binary artists who have been participating in a male-dominated community for decades. Underrepresentation and discrimination are even more prevalent in the dance industry for women of color and trans women. Various music initiatives have emerged in the last four years in an attempt to level the playing field. It has been an exciting time to witness the conversation shifting and female artists rising up and raising awareness on the issue.
I believe in 2021 we need to do better with how we shape, brand, and release mu-sic, to support a new generation of female producers and create lasting change and equality. I encourage the following question to any A&R rep: Are you making your label a welcome space for women? Do you provide feedback to female submissions? Are you proactively seeking female artists who are producing music similar to the sound of your label? This is the basis of the 23by23 campaign – Sydney Blu
When a label signs one female artist, they frequently believe they have completed their due diligence. This is a classic example of a label denying their lack of female representation, but this is no longer an acceptable excuse. It's time to acknowledge all the talented women making incredible music by committing to a realistic goal.
The #23by23 campaign is an open invitation to all electronic music record labels, regardless of size or prominence, to have 23 percent of their releases by the end of 2023 come from female producers.
Not only will adding more female artists to a label's roster benefit dance music, but it will also open up a new audience of female fans, encourage promoters to diversify their lineups, and encourage more female artists to work hard and make noteworthy music. A positive change from a diversified label has untold ramifications.
LivestreamNews
If we are wanting a diverse and equal opportunities scene then highlighting an area where this is heavily imbalancd can only be a good thing. Starting out on many la-bels as the first women producer nine years ago, its seems that only baby steps have been made in this area to have more female representation. It's also important to note women of colour are not only underrepresented on dance labels but also af-fected the most by discrimination so this makes it even more imperative for diversity to be a priority.
I am fully behind this campaign and hoping to understand more deeply the reasons why this is still the case in 2021 and how things can improve – Rebekah
The forward-thinking, boundary-breaking artist LP Giobbi, an ardent feminist and advocate for gender equality, is also firmly behind the campaign. LP Giobbi is the founder of FEMME HOUSE, an educational platform and 501 created to address the lack of representation and equity in electronic music by empowering women and non-binary people in the technical areas of music.
A huge part of it is about visual representation. When you see yourself in a role, you believe you can do that role and so then you do that role. I 100% stand with 23% by 23. The issue in this industry is exactly why Femme House aims to create more equi-table opportunities for womxn, trans, non-binary artists. I am pumped that allies are raising their hands and committing to open space on their labels. – LP Giobbi
As a female who has spent most of her life in dance music, I strongly believe that there should be far more equitable opportunities for female artists on established labels. The talent is out there. Highlighting female artists was a primary reason for starting my Women on Wax Recordings label. I have always supported causes that help provide greater representation for female and non-binary artists in dance mu-sic, especially POC artists, who face an even harder battle for recognition and dis-covery. – DJ Minx
Making proactive, sustainable changes to a label landscape that has been male-dominated for years will resonate with people, especially resonate with female producers. Labels have the power to inspire an entirely new generation of female producers and artists because you can't be what you can't see.

So, in addition to having to figure out (a) what IS a widget?, (b) how is it used?, and (c) how many of them should an office use in the course of a year, you've also got to pack!
No worries; I've got this!
Start formal – it's always easier to peel off a suit jacket and a silk scarf than it is to try to pretend that you're "executive-worthy" in jeans and a sweater.
Normally, for a trip like this I would NEVER suggest packing 10 items – this sounds like it should be a 3 day trip. But when venturing into the face of the corporate unknown, you need options.
So let's envision our "Whatever's Clean 13" like this. On the left, a cluster of six items that are pretty dressy – your navy pantsuit, and things to wear with it. On the right, a cluster of six items in grey (which will go with navy perfectly), but which are a bit more relaxed in feel. And holding things together there at the bottom, a pair of trousers, or a skirt, that will work either direction.
Yes, your blush top could be on either side of this equation, but I tossed it into the more relaxed side of things, just to show that it's possible to mix things from both sides.
This is the rest of your wardrobe for travel. Arguably, the hardest part of this wardrobe might be finding a skirt that you can wear with the blazer from your navy suit! The smartest thing to do would be to find a way to purchase all 3 pieces at the same time, from the same vendor. But in the absence of that, a change of texture will help "non-matching" things work together. This skirt is bouclé, which contrasts with your blazer without clashing.
And I chose a couple of short-sleeved sweaters to include here, because to me they span the "dressy/casual" divide really well. Under a blazer, they don't really make a statement. With contrasting trousers, they're more at ease and informal.
And I opted for tan trousers; men wear tan trousers with a navy blazer frequently, so it's a very accepted business ensemble. But if you're leaning away from "corporate dress", you can always just treat them like a pair of khakis!
Now, you have lots of options!
I used to LOVE business travel, and I miss it terribly, but I'm not going to pretend that it wasn't sometimes a pain in the neck!
PS – For more wardrobe planning templates and the latest Pantone Color Planner check out the Planning Documents section of the website.
A perfect capsule and strategy for me! I've settled on these colours as the core of my wardrobe – navy, blush/sand, grey. There are other colours lurking in the fabulous scarf that could be used to expand the capsule (e.g. I also love the 'reverse' of navy/beige, i.e. chocolate/light blue). I still do a bit of business travelling, but the capsule with its mix of formal/informal could easily be used outside of that context. I'm bookmarking this to remind me how workable and elegant a simple collection of good pieces can be. Many thanks!
I love this clever collection, both the premise and the solution. I love it so much I may print out the page and sleep with it tonight. This is my life now, and your advice is invaluable. It will help me pack in two short weeks. I also appreciate a somewhat larger range of choices because of hot and humid summer weather. Thank you.
Oh Janice, this is great! Please do other scenarios for "Whatever's Clean 13" – warm weather business trip, etc.
So very true! What is it with tech people and socks?
You have outdone yourself! Entertaining us while educating us. I also used to work with techies and loved the contract between them and the surgeons. Both cultures have their own rules and don't share them willingly. For anyone living in a moderate to large size city, there will be seamstresses or tailors who can easily replicate a high end suit for you. Beautiful fabrics are available online too.
This capsule makes me wish I did travel for business (a little). Love the spectrum from formal to relaxed. Formal seems to require the darker shades while lighter colors are more relaxed.
I love these colors! In fact I am working to add them to my work wardrobe. However, my office is more casual. And in the warm, humid area where I live, (and because the air conditioning doesn't work properly in my office), I am needing an outer layer that looks professional but is cool in the heat and adds vertical lines to distract from my bulging, apple shaped middle! I am looking at short sleeved cardigans and vests but am struggling to find a look that is office appropriate without smothering me! Any suggestions?
A tank tee under an open 3/4 sleeve button down shirt works for me.
I like the Foxcroft no-iron shirts.
I love the navy and gray combination. I never wear navy but I wear a lot of gray. I see a new combination in my future. Thanks for the ideas.
Very nice combinations! My work wardrobe is more casual than this. I can sub out all my black for the navy easily. Thanks again Janice!!
This is the best comparison I have seen! Looking beyond the colors and addressing the actual contrast between the two types of clothing that can still blend and work together – great!! I really appreciate the breakdown of Formal to Relaxed. I guess I've tried to think that way a few times when doing business travel but never with a solid intent like this. Thank you so much for the step-wise process and set up. Back to color though – I'm so glad to see that pair of khakis. I would have tried to keep it to the two neutrals but that extra pair of pants makes a huge difference when you aren't certain what you're getting in to.
I'll read this tomorrow (it's late and I have dawn golf!) But just wanted to say that my bro is forever recommending this prog and I still haven't seen it !

At many areas in Industry, valves are insulated by using insulating wool and cladding the same with aluminium sheet. During maintenance, this has to be dismantled which is time & material consuming. To avoid this, Urja has introduced Removable and Re-usable Valve Jackets.
Valve Jackets are made by inserting Insulating material (generally wool) between two layers of fabric and stitching the whole unit with high temperature threads. Generally strings are provided for easy fitting and removal. Thickness of insulation will depend on the surface temperature of the valve.
They are easy to install; They are easy to re-use & re-fit; refitting saves Cost/TIME & they work in all weather conditions.
The surface of some Gas Turbines, are insulated by using pillows made from Heat Resisting Fabrics and insulating wool.
Fabric used is generally Glass fabric with SS wire woven into it. Insulation used is generally Ceramic wool blankets of heavy density.
Pillows/pads are made from above material and are stitched with Heat resisting threads to fit the contours of Gas turbine. These pillows are fitted like a jig-saw puzzle to take the shape of turbine surface. Each pillow/pad is placed next to each other by using lancers through which SS wire is passed for secured fastening.
Above insulation is removable and reusable in nature thus saving TIME / COST.
Urja is authorized distributor of NEXTEL products manufactured by 3M of USA. These are chopped fibres, tapes, sleeves, yarn & fabrics. These are Ceramic Textiles suitable for extremely high temperature thermal insulation applications at 1300 º C. for insulation for Reformer tubes, high performance polymer composites, aircraft panels, structural components, Heat-shields, door-seals, furnace lining etc.

Twins Look To Put Distance Between Them And The ChiSox

John Danks stifled Minnesota over eight frames and Carlos Quentin highlighted Chicago's offense with a two-run homer, as the White Sox upended the Twins, 6-1, in a key American League Central matchup.
The Twins took the opener of this three-game series on Tuesday, 12-6, to break a tie between the teams atop the division, but Danks (13-8) came through with a sublime start to make it a dead heat again, allowing just one run on six hits with two walks and seven strikeouts.
Alexei Ramirez scored twice and doubled in a run as the White Sox halted a three-game slide.
Glen Perkins (0-1), recalled to fill the rotation spot of the injured Kevin Slowey (elbow), lasted 4 2/3 innings and gave up six runs -- four earned -- on five hits and two walks in his first big-league start in over a year.
Michael Cuddyer had two hits and drove in Minnesota's lone run.
Quentin got Chicago started in the second, following Paul Konerko's leadoff walk with a shot to straightaway center for his 24th home run of the year.
Orlando Hudson's throwing error allowed Ramirez to reach second the following frame, proving costly when Alex Rios singled to left for a 3-0 game.
The Sox extended the lead with a three-run fifth, as Juan Pierre plated Omar Vizquel with a single to left, stole scored and scored on Ramirez's two-bagger off the left-field wall. Another fielding gaffe, this time J.J. Hardy's throwing error on Konerko's bouncer to short, plated Ramirez later in the inning.
Cuddyer's two-out RBI single in the sixth was the only blemish for Danks, who stranded a runner on third in the eighth before yielding to Sergio Santos' scoreless ninth, ending Minnesota's three-game winning streak.
Twins reliever Jose Mijares turned his ankle in the eighth inning after trying to field a play at first base and did not return...The Sox have homered in a season-high 10 straight games...Chicago's Andruw Jones was scratched from the lineup because of a sore back... Perkins went 6-7 with a 5.95 earned-run average in 17 starts with Minnesota last year but struggled in Triple-A Rochester this season, going 4-9 with a 6.08 ERA in 23 starts...In the rubber match on Thursday, Minnesota's Francisco Liriano battles the streaking Gavin Floyd.

Wearwell, the British workwear manufacturer, has revealed how it is leading the fashionable workwear charge with cutting edge designs and innovative fabrics as on-trend workwear continues to dominate the world's catwalks.
Over the past few years, workwear has become an increasingly popular feature in several big-name collections, including the latest pieces from Moschino and Calvin Klein. High-visibility jackets have also been worn by celebrities ranging from Kanye West to Tyler, The Creator.
The trend sees workwear – which is traditionally worn by workers in light and heavy industry, construction, marine, automotive and a host of other sectors- enter the world of mainstream fashion. In fact, workwear inspired designed are rapidly becoming a fashion staple in every man's wardrobe.
Wearwell, which designs and manufactures clothing for industries ranging from catering and hospitality to PPE and industrial laundry, is already embracing the shift and has seen demand for more modern designs skyrocket from its own clients.
Wearwell says it is now more common for workwear garments to be designed with an eye to the overall aesthetic as much as the function of the piece with Fagerstrom adding, "With general workwear there is always the hanger appeal aspect alongside the functionality of the garment. When it comes to say Hi-vis or FR or other certified styles functionality and adhering to the design requirements of the standard always comes first. In Scandinavia, where I am from, job specific workwear is worn in leisure time by home improvers and you see people everywhere wearing work trousers with hanging tool pockets etc.


To celebrate some personal milestones, I took the staff of The Socialite out for a night on the town. This was to be a classy evening, dressing up for the occasion, and including some rare indulgences.
We had dinner reservations at Revolution, which marked our first time patronizing this fine establishment. It's a deceivingly large space, but still retains a sense of intimacy. I started off with an old fashioned (pictured to the right) which was a bit fruity for my taste, but was still well made. We ordered the Venison Carpaccio as an appetizer, which was tender and flavourful. To continue with the wild game theme, I had the Grilled Bob White Quail for the main course. It was cooked in a Southern inspired manner, and was a delicacy.
To continue the theme of the evening, we walked over to the recently opened Whiskey for after dinner drinks. To our dismay, they ended up being closed for the evening due to an issue with the building (see Barry's post). At this point, we had a thirst for top shelf scotch that needed to be quenched. The next place that came to mind was The Cellar at West End Wine Bar. Our streak of bad luck (or timing) continued, as The Cellar was shut down for the evening due to a private event. Our hopes were dashed again at our next stop, as Piedmont had already closed down for the evening. We finally found our first lick of scotch at the Durham Convention Center's bar, a nice Lagavulin Single Malt Islay.
With our feet rested and our hope reignited, we continued our whiskey quest and found ourselves at the Sirens Lounge. It appeared our luck had turned, as we had a few different scotches to choose from. The bar at Sirens is massive, and has a built in fish tank. The lounge and dance floor started out on the quiet side, but then a bachelorette party arrived to liven things up.
To wind the evening down, we went over to The Green Room to shoot some pool and drink some beer. All in all, a great evening in Downtown Durham.

Procópio () foi um usurpador romano contra o imperador Valente e um membro da dinastia constantiniana.

Família
De acordo com Amiano Marcelino, Procópio nasceu e passou a infância na Cilícia, provavelmente em Córico. Pelo lado da mãe, Procópio era primo do imperador Juliano, o Apóstata, com quem compartilhava o avô materno, Júlio Juliano. Sua primeira esposa provavelmente chamava-se Artemísia e a segunda, a imperatriz-mãe Faustina. Entre seus descendentes no século V estão o mestre dos soldados (magister militum) Procópio, filho de seu filho, também chamado Procópio, e o filho dele, o imperador Antêmio.

General de Juliano
Em 358, durante o reinado de Constâncio II, ele foi enviado com Luciliano como emissário à corte sassânida; ele era então um tribuno e um notário.

Procópio passou então para o círculo interno de Juliano e participou da campanha do imperador contra os sassânidas em 363. Juntamente com Sebastiano, ele foi encarregado da região do alto Tigre com  e, se possível, deveria tentar se encontrar com as forças do rei Ársaces II da Armênia, depois do que deveriam os dois marcharem para o sul para encontrarem-se com o exército de Juliano que estava na Assíria. Porém, Juliano morreu e, quando Procópio alcançou a força principal romana perto de Tilsafata, entre Nísibis e Singara, encontrou o novo imperador, Joviano.

De acordo com Zósimo, Juliano havia dado a Procópio o manto imperial, explicando somente a ele o motivo. Quando Joviano foi aclamado, Procópio entregou-lhe o manto, revelou-lhe as intenções de Juliano e pediu ao novo imperador que permitisse que ele se retirasse da vida pública. Joviano aceitou e ele se retirou com a família para Cesareia Mázaca.

Amiano, que baseou-se em parte no testemunho de Estratégio, conta que um rumor infundado começou a se espalhar, segundo o qual Juliano havia ordenado que Procópio assumisse o trono caso algo acontecesse com ele. Temendo a fúria de Joviano, que que já havia matado um outro candidato militar ao trono (Jovianus), Procópio se escondeu, mas depois supervisionou a transferência do corpo de Juliano para Tarso e o seu enterro ali. Somente depois disso é que ele seguiu para Cesareia com a família.

Golpe
Depois da morte de Joviano, os novos imperador, Valente e Valentiniano I, mandaram prender Procópio. Ele se rendeu, mas pediu para se encontrar com a família. Ele serviu comida e bebida para os soldados e aproveitou-se da oportunidade para fugir com a família, primeiro para o Mar Negro e, depois, para Quersoneso Táurica, onde eles se esconderam. Porém, Procópio temia ser delatado e decidiu ir para Constantinopla pedir ajuda para Estratégio

Procópio então decidiu que tentaria tomar o trono. Ele subornou as duas legiões que estavam acampadas na capital e tomou a cidade. Em 28 de setembro de 365, ele se declarou imperador e rapidamente conquistou a Trácia e a Bitínia.

Valente recebeu a missão de lidar com o rebelde e pelos meses seguintes teve que enfrentar a lealdade oscilante de várias cidades e unidades do exército. No final, os exércitos se encontraram na Batalha de Tiatira e Procópio foi derrotado. Ele tentou fugir, mas foi traído por dois de seus antigos aliados e entregue a Valente. O imperador executou os três em 27 de maio de 366.

Cort scored against us and 'Pies' Parkin got a 'run'.
Yeah, it was a great result. I hope we make the play off's but Im not sure we're ready for Premier League just yet. Maybe the year after with a few new faces onboard. I'd hate to go up and do a Derby and be all but relegated by Christmas.
"Hull City have accepted an offer from Blackpool for Stephen McPhee, although the deal will only go through if Fraizer Campell agrees to stay at the KC Stadium."
Rumour is also that Bridges is heading back to City from Sydney.
What do you go guys think about Frazier Campbell, good enough to forge out a career for himself at Man Utd?
I'm worried about United not bringing anyone through the youth system. In this regard we've gone from one of the best to one of the worst. I don't think we've had anyone come in and actually be a first pick player (Wes Brown is not first pick) since early 90's. Plenty of squad players but nobody world class or close to it.
But this is a Hull City thread so the last thing you want is going ons about Man Utd!
Great result this morning, 1-0 over Coventry. Forlan in the 90th :-) Only 3 points off a play off but we have a game in hand against Colchester who are bottom.
doesn't sound like a great game of football, but I'll take the result!!
and despite the good lads WillieB and Oprewise - let's get those 3 points off col U!!

'The Dig' on Netflix
At the weekend I watched 'The Dig' on Netflix, starring Carey Mulligan, Ralph Fiennes, and Lily James. A lot of people seem to have been talking about this film, even before it was released. The film follows the story of Basil Brown (Fiennes), who discovers an Anglo-Saxon burial ship under a mound in a field in rural Suffolk. The land belongs to the widowed Edith Pretty (Mulligan) who asks Brown to excavate the mounds. The discovery takes place in the run-up to the Second World War and the preparations to go to war.
I've known about Sutton Hoo from a young age, as my grandparents live not far from the dig site. Obviously as a child I didn't really know the history or what I was seeing when we visited the site, but when I visited the British Museum a few years ago and saw the Sutton Hoo treasures it really hit home what I had seen at the dig site, and now I want to go back.
I really enjoyed the film; it was excellent Saturday watching. I told a friend of mine how much I enjoyed the film, and he went and watched it. He didn't seem to enjoy it as much as I did, saying that the interpersonal drama seemed contrived to liven it up, and the social commentary has been done before. I can understand that, but the film is brilliantly done, and the cast are fantastic. Carey Mulligan really carries the film for me.
Basil Brown, who made the initial discovery at Sutton Hoo, has largely been left out of history, but now he gets a film based on what he discovered. The film itself is based on a book called 'The Dig' by John Preston (click here to see the book on Hive). The excitement of finding an Anglo-Saxon boat buried under a mound in a field is really portrayed in the film, and I really felt it myself watching the action unfold on screen.
History is often reduced to objects that we can see and touch, and this is certainly the case with Sutton Hoo – it was said to be a burial ship and the most famous part of Sutton Hoo even today seems to be the treasure: the helmet, brooches, and jewels. What 'The Dig' demonstrates is that there are human stories behind the objects that we see today. Not just the stories of the Anglo-Saxon people who buried the ship, but the stories of those who unearthed it as well.
If you want to visit Sutton Hoo, it is looked after by National Trust (Sutton Hoo | National Trust) and the treasure is on show in the British Museum in London (Sutton Hoo and Europe | British Museum).

Episode 1 – Moment of Nostalgia
Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, and his wife, Katherine, are separated – later on in the series he has an affair. In reality, there is no evidence that the marriage of the Brandons was unstable, it seems to have been relatively happy.
On screen, Henry Howard, is shown as being in his mid-forties and calls Katherine Howard his niece. In reality, Henry and Katherine were cousins, and he was actually only in his mid-twenties at this time.
When Princess Elizabeth meets Katherine Howard she looks around 13/14 years old, but in reality she would only have been around 6/7.
Henry VIII speaks of the death of the French dauphin just after his marriage to Katherine in 1540, but the dauphin died in 1536.
Henry VIII is shown condemning Viscount Lisle to death, but he actually died in 1542 when being given news of his release.
A marriage between Princess Mary and the Duke of Orleans is proposed on screen, but the duke was already married in reality by this point.
There is no evidence that Anne Stanhope cheated on her husband, the Earl of Hertford, let alone with his brother. This perhaps parallels the supposed affair of Hertford's first wife with his own father.

Britain's Bloody Crown Part 1 07.01.2016
Henry VI 1540 at the National Portrait Gallery
Nearly 600 years ago Wars of the Roses fought over the crown.
30 years crown changed hands 7 times.
Struggle erupted when there was a feud between Margaret of Anjou (Queen of England) and Richard, Duke of York, over the control of the weak king, Henry VI.
Trouble began because Henry VI was so weak that a vacuum opened in England that takes 50 years to be fixed.
May 1450 Henry VI in power, Duke of Suffolk papered over the cracks, but he is now dead by rebel hands.
Summer 1450, no one now left to keep a lid on trouble for Henry VI – rebels enter London and cause violence and looting.
Henry VI never seen a battlefield, shallow, pious and foolish.
Henry VI tries to placate rebels by giving them the corrupt Lord Say – they try and execute him at the Guildhall.
England dissolving into anarchy – Henry VI leaves London for Kenilworth. Continue reading "Britain's Bloody Crown Part 1 07.01.2016"

Mary, Dowager Queen of France and Duchess of Suffolk
Mary was born on 18th March 1496 to Henry VII and his wife, Elizabeth of York. She was the youngest of her surviving siblings: Arthur, Henry and Margaret. She was betrothed in 1507 to the future Charles V, the son of Philip I and Juana, the sister of Katherine of Aragon. However, the treaty fell through and she was instead betrothed to Louis XII of France who was thirty-four years her senior. They married on 9th October 1514, but Louis died on 1st January 1515, less than three months after their marriage. They had no children.
Mary was almost certainly in love with Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, at this time. Brandon was a close friend of Mary's brother, Henry VIII. Suffolk was sent to bring Mary back from France. There is debate over whether or not Henry knew of his sister's feelings for his closest friend, but he wanted Mary's second marriage to be to his advantage. However, they married in secret on 3rd March 1515, which was technically treason (marrying into the royal family without the monarch's consent). Because of the intervention of Thomas Wolsey, Henry's first minister, the couple were let off with a fine once Henry had gotten over his outrage.

Grace Episcopal Church is Lexington's oldest congregation. On December 20, 2006 Grace Episcopal Church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The church was founded as St. Peter's Episcopal Church in April of 1822, seven months prior to the formation of Davidson County and six years prior to the incorporation of the city of Lexington.
The original church building, Lexington's first house of worship, was built around 1821 on the site of the former Wennonah Cotton Mill off South Main Street. When the building was destroyed by a severe storm in 1824, the congregation continued to hold services in members' homes for the next several years.
In 1900 the church went through a period of revitalization and growth, changed its name to Grace Episcopal Church, purchased property and constructed a new brick church building in 1903. The "chapel" was the site of all worship services until 1985 when the new sanctuary was built. The 1903 sanctuary is still in use for funerals, weddings, and one of the two Sunday services each week. Under its new name, Grace Church was admitted to the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina in October of 1903.
If you would like to know more about the history of Grace Church and the vital role of its members in the history of Lexington and Davidson County, please call the church office. A copy of a more detailed history, including a bibliography of historical sources, is available in the church office.

At The Vermont Country Store, we're fortunate to have talented folks on whom we rely to bring great color and creativity to our catalog, website and beyond. Donnel Barnum is one of these very special people. An employee since 1986, she's always there with a ready smile and tremendous enthusiasm. And as the creative genius behind our catalog covers and product illustrations inside, she never fails to wow us with her talent.
Donnel has taken time out of her busy schedule to answer five questions about her creative roots, processes, and inspirations. The artwork in this blog is a selection of some of her favorites from over the years.
1. Can you tell us the story behind how you came to be the artist / illustrator at The Vermont Country Store?
In the summer of 1986 my husband and I moved into his family house in southern Vermont full time. I remember visiting The Vermont Country Store in Weston and being in heaven with all the colorful calico fabrics, penny candies, and nostalgic goods surrounding me. I picked up a copy of the black and white Voice of the Mountains catalog and fell in love with the interesting products and entertaining copy. The tiny catalog was filled with drawings, so I made an appointment to show my illustration portfolio and was greeted with open arms. The art director at the time was doing all the illustrations, all the photographs and the design. She was delighted to have my help.
My first assignment was a picnic cover for the 1987 summer catalog in graphite. While you'll see quite a few photographs in our catalog today, back then almost all the apparel and sleepwear were illustrated, so I was kept busy sketching everything from sheets to muumuus.
2. Each season, year after year, you create a new series of catalog covers. Do you work with a creative team to develop themes for each cover, or do you brainstorm on your own?
My mind is always thinking about the perfect catalog cover for each season, whether driving to work through our beautiful Vermont countryside or brainstorming with our great group of creative folks here. We try to incorporate seasonality, Vermont, featured products and a touch of humor while coming up with sketches for the upcoming season. It always amazes me how one person can add the perfect suggestion to an idea to make a good cover sketch a great catalog cover.
3. When working on a catalog cover or product illustration, what medium(s) do you work in and why?
My mediums include oil paint, watercolor, gouache, scratchboard, graphite, as well as pen and ink. I use all of these mediums for different effects. The covers are colorful and eye catching and tend to be painted in oil and watercolor. We have used some striking scratchboard cover images with pops of color, too. I try to keep the cover images looking fresh and different from each other, so I vary the coloration and techniques within a season. The personal-care illustrations inside the book have a softer feeling and are done primarily in watercolor. The Vermont Country Store has a wonderful line of private labels for our food and apothecary items. I have developed a technique for the food items using a realistic graphite drawing, which I then overlay with color. The apothecary products lend themselves to an old-fashioned style that leans towards scratchboard and pen and ink. I often work with our designers to decide which would be the best technique for each project.
4. Your catalog cover art is quaint, colorful, and at times humorous; it conveys a true sense of our Vermont way-of-life. What inspires you?
The rural Vermont landscape that surrounds me is my main inspiration. Vermont has a natural beauty and rich history filled with farmed landscapes, quaint villages and the curious barnyard chick or cow! My hope is that our covers convey a touch of the joy of our Vermont surroundings.
5. Do you have any advice for young folks who aspire to be artist illustrators?
Keep a sketchbook with you and be on a constant lookout for inspiration. Remember working with others opens up new possibilities and keeps you fresh. You can benefit from the opinions of others.


Earlier this week I was in a dialogue with Jason Markow about a post he wrote called, "You are What you FEED." We were talking about how everybody, EVERY ONE has a perspective that is shaped by their story, the stuff that's made them and shaped their view. I am currently working with a group of guys that during the course of a day we chat about current events, the Afghan War, the President, the environment, etc. Some of the things I hear make me cringe for what sounds like such absurd opinions, or perspective. Sometimes I have to remind myself that any one of these guys is not the sum of their perspective. They are more, so much more. We can lose out when we only engage each other in reactions to a point of view.
But ultimately that means that any point of view is just that - a Point of view. And I hear Madeline L'Engle's words, "We have a point of view. God has view." Points of View might be what we like to call "your truth" or "my truth. What if there is a space wherein things aren't relative or defined by points of view?
I would want to become comfortable with that space regardless of the risk to my point of view. It would seem that space would allow me to see the Truth in your point of view, regardless of how I feel.
Might it be that an intimacy with truth could shape our point of view to something that is closer to View? And if so, wouldn't that relationship take into account all that makes up who we are, all the things that shaped the point from where stand while beckoning us into so much more?
