Vintage Solid Walnut Cigar Table!

From S. Caterina it seems to be necessary to at first walk on the road towards S. Nicola until a road crossing where it is possible to walk uphill also on an aspalted road leading to a cemetery. This road gains height via several hairpin curves and provides a view over Capo Palinuro. After turning left onto a dirt lane the way is rather horizontally within scrub and later wood vegetation. After turning left onto CM70 the road climbs again towards Monte Castelluccio. Where the scrub turns into open grassland there is a nice view towards Monte Bulgheria. The view from Monte Bulgheris is not very spectacular but quasi 360 degree. There was a picnic table on the top.
After the summit the way in direction to A Tartana and Pisciotta remains horizontally along the edge of the woods where it is very likely to encounter wild boar. You leave the way to Pisciotta in order to descent to a mountain pass. Right down there is the road to San Mauro la Bruca and left downwards a lane to Rodio which later becomes a path. This leads through jungle like vegetation which hopefully is cleard as we found it in 2013. If not, the way may be blocked by vegetation. The path ends at a water fountain on the side of the road from Pisciotta to Rodio and it's only a few hundred metres to the beautiful medieval village of Rodio.
9,3 km Altitude range 494 Meter (212 to 706 Meter) Total climb 528 Meter Total descent 363 Meter I walked the section from S. Caterina to Castelluccio on 24 May 2011 and the one from Castelluccio to Rodio an 8 October 2013, both with family. The gpx is extracted from openstreetmap by GPSies.com. Own experience and gps traces were used to edit osm. Both villages provide a food store and a bar, but no hotel or B&B. S. Caterina is served by a bus in the early morning (agenziainfanteviaggi.it). Rodio unfortunately has no bus service anymore. There is also no taxi service nearby. "Ape Calessino" provides a taxi like serive for 2 persons maximum.


IoT is what the personal computer was in the 1980's: Everyone is talking about it, but who can say that they have completely understood the implications of it? Above all, the search for strategic IoT trends resembles looking into the crystal ball of a creepy old lady with dubious facial hair and a cat on her left shoulder. But we have seen how other IT and Internet trends have behaved in recent years and even decades ago. Logical conclusions can be drawn from this about how IoT trends could behave over the next 3 to 5 years.
So let's map out together the 5 most exciting strategic IoT trends for the coming years.
Great, in this article you have a super hyped keyword (IoT) and the next super hyped keyword (AI) used together. Nevertheless, you cannot have it any other way. Analysts from Gartner predict that by 2019 almost 16 billion "networked things" will be in use; by 2021 the number is expected to rise to almost 30 billion. This is accompanied by an unbelievable and perhaps even unmanageable volume of data. The AI technology landscape, however, is complex and pursues different goals and strategies - and this will remain so until 2025.
Despite this complexity, it should be possible to achieve satisfactory results with AI in the future. As a result, according to Gartner, it is the task of innovative companies to build teams with appropriate tools and skills that can integrate AI into the IoT strategy. It is expected that AI will be applied to a variety of IoT information so that companies cannot only store this data flood, but read and also use it sensibly. It seems logical to assume that companies seeking to combine the IoT environment with intelligent data processing will secure a strategic advantage in IoT for decades to come.
If you are reading the term "Infonomics" for the first time, here you will find a quick and simple explanation.
According to some analysts, trading IoT data is becoming an important part of many IoT systems. The Gartner survey on IoT projects in 2017 showed that over 30 percent of respondents already sell collected data or plan to do so in the future. The Infonomics approach extends this monetization by viewing this data as strategic business value that also appears in corporate accounting. Admittedly, this is more of an economic strategy than a technical innovative approach, but according to Gartner, it is a very significant one.
This is a simple formula because without sensors there is no IoT. Over the next 5 to 7 years, the sensor market will continue to evolve. According to Gartner, new sensors that support new applications and process larger bandwidths will be created, while current sensors will become more affordable.
Accordingly, companies that value technical innovation in the IoT environment should make sure that their teams identify, design and develop business-relevant sensors. However, sensor specifications, especially energy consumption, are also likely to play a greater role (in the scheme of things). With novel switching regulators, batteries could power sensors for much longer, which could make both manufacturers and consumers very happy.
Security in the IoT environment is as important as it is often completely neglected in this industry. Statistical surveys and analyses repeatedly show that security is the most important concern for companies using IoT systems. The strategic goal here is that innovation teams should work closely with security experts to create comprehensive and secure concepts. This is necessary because IoT hardware has often lacked such obvious security features in recent years that it can be assumed that simply nobody has dealt with this issue. Here, we do not want to point the finger at anyone, since IoT hardware was only slightly affected by attacks in the first few years. However, that has changed with the Mirai Botnet attack.
IoT networks must meet a number of (sometimes even competing) requirements, including bandwidth, cost, power consumption and range. Innovation teams should not only look at 5G and the next generation of satellites among other things, but also at the manufacturers of communication devices that provide a long range with little energy. This includes Sigfox, LoRa (WAN), MIOTY and - with a view to the future - possible technologies that are only just starting out today and which might be quite big tomorrow. On our blog, you can already find a lot of information about Sigfox (among others a strategic partner of ours) and LoRa (WAN). Articles about MIOTY will soon follow.
If you go to the fortune teller and a look into the glass ball shows that you have no future, then that's always bad. As far as IoT is concerned, however, everybody sees a future; only the interpretations differ from one another. The above 5 points on the future of IoT innovation are not revealed wisdom, but only my two cents. What do you think?


The National Resource Sharing Project will be joining us for a two day training to facilitate and share the findings from the final Sexual Assault Demonstration Initiative (SADI) report. SADI was the first large-scale national project to address the challenges dual/multi-service programs face in reaching sexual assault survivors by dedicating resources, support and replicable tools tailored specifically to the needs of those programs. More specifically, SADI can enhance the range of service options for victims of sexual assault; improve the overall treatment of sexual assault victims; and enhance the skills and knowledge of agency leadership to guide the sexual assault services of their agency.

Bill to Increase North Dakota Speed Limits to be Proposed
Press Herald via Getty Images
A bill proposed in 2017 is being brought back that would potentially increase speed limits on certain North Dakota highways by five miles per hour.
Last year, it was Sen. Lonnie Laffen, R-Grand Forks, proposing a similar bill. This year, Rep. Jake Blum, R-Grand Forks is trying to push the bill through that would increase speed limits on multi-lane highways from 70 mph to 75 mph and on interstates from 75 mph to 80 mph.
One of the biggest issues facing last year's bill was the cost from a fiscal standpoint as the North Dakota Department of Transportation estimated that a new speed limit would cost $155,000 to implement, along with over $3.2 million to reconstruct roadways so that they are capable of handling higher speeds.
South Dakota and Montana have similar speed limits the bill is proposing but did not have to make changes to account for the higher speeds, as was pointed out by state Rep. Ben Koppelman, R-West Fargo.
While the House has not scheduled the bill for any committees as of yet, within the next couple of weeks, Blum anticipates that the bill will go to the House committee on transportation and see a hearing.

I was going to wait until the severity of the injury was confirmed to write this, but after sleeping on it I realized I don't expect the news to be good today anyway so why bother waiting on it? If the news was better, the Yankees probably wouldn't be waiting to make a formal announcement. The bad news, via Chad Jennings, is that A-ball catching prospect Luis Torrens has suffered another injury to his right shoulder. The Yankees are in the "still gathering info" stage of dealing with the injury, so there's a chance it isn't season-ending, but there were plenty of rumors out there yesterday saying it was. That Billy Eppler is involved already and was the one talking to Jennings suggests that it's pretty serious.
Torrens missed a few months this past season after suffering a shoulder strain very early in the Low-A season. When he returned from the DL he was sent to SS Staten Island, where he hit .270/.327/.405 in 202 PA and continued to impress everybody with his natural hitting skills and how quickly he took to full-time catching. He's been a unanimous top 10 organizational prospect this offseason, and he came in tied for 8th on the 2015 IIATMS Top 30.
Torrens established himself as the next big name in the Yankees' recent stretch of finding and developing solid catching prospects in 2014. He's already highly-regarded for the defensive skill set he's shown at age 18, and his solid hitting approach has some scouts believing he could develop into an above-average hitting catcher as well. 2015 was supposed to be his take 2 in a full-season league and it would have been an important step in his development. To lose any significant chunk of time this year would be a huge blow to Torrens and a disappointing start to the 2015 prospect season. The fact that it's a second injury to his throwing shoulder in less than a calendar year is also unsettling as it relates to his long-term path.

Q: What is the role of **in on**? Below sentence is a conversation of Hermione in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret.

Slytherin lead: A gift from Draco's father.
Draco: You see, Weasley, unlike some, my father can afford the best.
Hermione: At least no one on the Gryffindor team had "to buy their way in".
  They got in on pure talent.
Draco: No one asked your opinion, you filthy little Mudblood.

What is the role of in on?
Does it mean the same as

They got pure talent.

In addition to that what is the meaning of the phrase "to buy their way in"
I know conversation differs from the grammar. Is it possible to use the same in written form? It would be more helpful if someone explains this with examples.
Note: Additional information has been added, and one more question is also raised.

A: To get in is a phrasal verb meaning to obtain access to.
It does not mean the same as to get, which generally means to acquire an object, among several other meanings - although to get in X does mean to acquire access to X.
(Note that to get X in Y can also mean to move X inside of Y, with X defaulting to yourself if not specified.  It does not mean that here, though.)
A meaning of X on Y is the same as X by Y with an added implication that X happened because of Y.  Similar to saying X based on Y.

She got in the club on her appearance = She got in the club by her appearance; her appearance caused her to get in the club = She got in the club based on her appearance.
He got in school on his father's name = He got in school by his father's name; his father's name (and not his academic performance) caused him to get in the school...

A: not an expert on English but.... My inner feelings tell me on and in are not together in your sentence.
I mean in belongs to got => got in: was chosen for the team
and on belongs to pure talent => on pure talent: for their talent
They was chosen for their talent not for fathers gift to team leaders

Nikolai Krymov vividly demonstrates his style and his vision, it would seem, such an ordinary and unremarkable village, and village life. In fact, this is due solely to the fact that, by himself, the artist is a vivid representative of a city dweller, so he could see the natural beauty of nature that his predecessors could not notice.
In the painting "Noon" the viewer has the opportunity to consider the beauty of the countryside. We see a village house next to which stands some kind of building, which apparently is a shed or utility room. There is a woman standing near this utility room; she is a little hunched over and does her own thing. On the banks of the river, which is almost completely surrounded the possessions of an elderly couple.
Grandfather sits by the river and apparently fishes. At a distance there are large willows that hang down their branches down to the water. The artist is not without reason that he uses such faded colors in order to highlight the sun, which is at its zenith. In the reflection of the sun in the water, it is clearly visible that it is located at the very top. Through the use of yellowish shades, the master successfully conveys the whole atmosphere.
In the background you can see fields that are also completely covered with sunny color and yellowish tint. The trees themselves and the rest of the greens, has a fairly large number of different shades of green.
The master very well conveys the atmosphere of a hot day, all due to the same effects, because of which mighty willows stretch towards the water and the slowness of the whole picture, which speaks about the scorching sun, but despite this, the canvas is full of energy and vitality.

Wolfgang Schollwer (* 13. Februar 1922 in Potsdam; † 22. Januar 2021 in Bonn) war ein liberaler deutscher Politiker (LDP, FDP), Funktionär, Ministerialreferent und Autor.

Leben
Schollwer wurde vor allem als "Vordenker liberaler Entspannungspolitik" in der Ost-West-Auseinandersetzung des "Kalten Krieges" bekannt. Von ihm stammen die Deutschlandpläne ("Schollwer-Papiere") der FDP von 1962 und 1967, in denen eine Politik der Annäherung der damals bestehenden beiden deutschen Staaten konzipiert wurde.

Schollwer, der 1940 Abitur am Viktoria-Gymnasium, dem heutigen Helmholtz-Gymnasium, machte und dem 1945 in der sowjetischen Besatzungszone als ehemaligem Leutnant der Reserve in der Wehrmacht ein Medizinstudium verwehrt worden war, engagierte sich zunächst als Jugendpolitiker und Landessekretär der LDP in Brandenburg am politischen Wiederaufbau, ehe er 1950 in die Bundesrepublik Deutschland floh und dort der FDP beitrat. Vor der Flucht war er Stadtverordneter in Potsdam. Von 1951 bis 1957 war er stellvertretender, zuletzt kommissarischer Leiter des FDP-Ostbüros in Bonn. Als Referent für die Außen- und Deutschlandpolitik der FDP sowie Chefredakteur der "freien demokratischen korrespondenz" (fdk) (1959–1970) nahm Schollwer maßgeblich Einfluss auf die Öffnung seiner Partei in der Ostpolitik. Von 1967 bis 1969 war er Präses des Verbandes Liberaler Akademiker. 1972 trat er als Referent in den Planungsstab des Auswärtigen Amtes ein, dem er bis zur Pensionierung 1987 angehörte. Von 1986 bis 1990 gehörte Schollwer dem Beirat der Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung an. Wolfgang Schollwer verstarb wenige Wochen vor seinem 99. Geburtstag an den Folgen einer COVID-19-Erkrankung.

Unterlagen über seine Tätigkeiten für die FDP liegen im Archiv des Liberalismus der Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung für die Freiheit in Gummersbach. Das Archiv hat mehrere Bände mit seinen Aufzeichnungen aus den Jahren 1948 bis 1970 veröffentlicht.

Does Istanbul need a mega-canal?
There is an argument to be made. The Bosporus Strait runs through the middle of Istanbul, one of the world's largest cities, with a population of around 15 million. The narrow waterway is of critical importance to countries bordering the Black Sea, especially Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Bulgaria and Romania.
The strait carries a huge volume of shipping, but poses considerable navigational difficulties. Mega-tankers carrying oil and gas ply back and forth along its narrow, sinuous 31-kilometre length, creating a constant threat of disaster.
A cargo vessel crossing through the Bosphorus in Istanbul crashed into a waterside mansion on April 7 due to a technical fault, crushing the fragile wooden building. The Maltese-flagged Vitaspirit lost control and ploughed into the edifice. The building's roof and upper floors collapsed, and television pictures showed the basement slumping into the water.
The Deniz Haber maritime news agency said that the 225-meter (740 foot) Vitaspirit, which was heading from Egypt to Ukraine, lost control due to a technical fault with its engines. Images showed the stricken vessel ramming the mansion on the Asian side of the Bosphorus with the tip of its bow, sending a cloud of dust and rubble into the air as the building collapsed.
The vessel was extracted from the mansion with the help of tugs but the Bosphorus was closed to shipping traffic in both directions, NTV television said. There were no casualties in the collision.
The wooden Hekimbaşı Salih Efendi mansion was built by Ottoman nobles in the 19th century. It had no permanent residents but was rented out for marriage ceremonies or concerts.

After my iOptron CEM25 did a meridian flip, my ASI1600MM Pro became very loosely attached to my ZWO manual filter wheel. The camera cannot be tightened to the MFW. Although I place my cables such that they should not impede a flip, perhaps they caused tension and something went awry. The camera will screw properly into the 11mm extension provided as well as others, and an adapter will tighten with the MFW, the 1600 will not. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can attach them securely together although not permanently? The filter wheel is the very best option for me for narrow band imaging. Right now I am limited to using the 1.25" filter adapter in the 11mm extension.
Lurking in the back of my mind was something that I noted in passing. Its importance didn't strike my frontal lobes until today. The male M42 nose of the Z1600 has threads but then a gap of 1-1.5mm without threads before it reaches the face of the camera body. It occurred to me that what was happening is that, as the threads on both the camera and MFW wore down a bit, the camera's nose eventually screwed through the wall of the MFW to the point where the thinner wall eventually was opposite zero threads. It also answered a question as to why other adapters screwed in properly. A couple of thin plastic/paper flat rings for M42 diameter stops the camera from screwing in too deeply.
I now have the same problem with my ASI1600 screwing into an EFW. Yet the camera screws properly into the 11mm extension, other extensions and adapters. Last summer I had an accident when an RC6 came loose and flipped out of the dovetail saddle sideways when it hit the bolt that was supposed to prevent the scope sliding down through the dovetail saddle. The camera was slightly damaged externally but works fine. Maybe it had some effect on the threads. But, if so, why wouldn''t that problem show up when connecting to other accesories?
I wonder if I could use something like plumbers tape to make the connection more solid.
Could you make sure was the camera thread has damaged or the EFW thread?
I think if the camera works well with other accessories, might EFW threads has damaged.
I tested at least 6 M42 male adapters with both sides of the EFW. They all worked fine, except for the Nikon-M42 doesn't screw in properly on one side but had no problem on the other side. The ASI1600mm Pro screws properly into one side of the EFW but doesn't even touch the threads of the other female port, the same one that the Nikon-M42 doesn't like. The ASI1600 screwed properly into more than a half dozen female M42 adapters. I can only conclude that the EFW ports are not the exact same dimensions.
Unfortunately for me, if I use the EFW port that the ASI1600 screws in properly, that puts the Nikon-M42 adapter into a port that it doesn't screw into hardly at all, i.e., they both only work with the same port.
I ran the same tests for my ZWO MFW. The ASI1600 did not screw in tightly on one side but was fine with the other side. An M42 21mm extension worked on the same side the ASI1600 did and didn't tighten properly on the side that the ASI1600 had problems with. Everything else worked fine.
This means that I am unable to use my ASI1600 with a Nikkor lens (I have two) and an EFW. If I carefully select which side, I can get a Nikkor lens to work with the MFW and ASI11600.
I am concerned about ZWO quality control based on what I am seeing.
It is looks like a problem of Nikon-M42 adapter. We will try to connect it with EFW on our side.

Q: A surjective local homeomorphism between compact Hausdorff spaces is a covering map Is there a more brief/ intuitive way to show the following?

Show that if $\;X, Y$ are compact Hausdorff spaces then a surjective local homeomorphism $\;f : X \rightarrow Y$ is a covering map.

[Note that we have nothing about connectedness here]
Property 1: a local homeomorphism is continuous and an open map
Property 2: if $A \subset X$, $X$ is Hausdorff, and $A$ is finite, then with each $x\in A$ we can associate a neighborhood $U_x$ such that $U_{x_1}$ doesn't intersect $U_{x_2}$ when $x_1 \neq x_2$
Property 3: a restriction of a homeomorphism is a homeomorphism.
Property 4: a continuous map between a compact space and a Hausdorff space is a closed map
Property 5: a compact Hausdorff space is normal
Proof:
Choose $y \in Y$. $\{y\}$ is closed (Hausdorffness of $Y$) so $f^{-1}(y)$ is closed (Property 1) and compact (Compactness of $X$).  For all $x \in f^{-1}(y)$ choose a neighborhood $U_x$ such that $f|_{U_x} : U_x \rightarrow f(U_x)$ is a homeomorphism.
Then for all $x, x' \in f^{-1}(y)$ such that $x \neq x'$, we have $x' \notin U_x$,  since $f|_{U_x}$ is injective.  Thus, $\{U_x\}$ covers $f^{-1}(y)$, but no subset of $\{U_x\}_{x \in f^{-1}(y)}$ is a subcover, so
$$
0 < |\{U_x\}_{x \in f^{-1}(y)}|=|f^{-1}(y)| < \infty
$$
since $f^{-1}(y)$ is compact and $f$ is surjective.
Around each $x \in f^{-1}(y)$ associate a neighborhood $A_x \subset U_x$ such that $A_{x_1}$ and $A_{x_2}$ are disjoint when $x_1 \neq x_2$ (Property 2, Hausdorffness of $X$).  Each $A_x$ is homeomorphic with its image by $f$ under the restriction (Property 3).  Then let
$$
V = \cap_{x \in f^{-1}(y)} f(A_x)
$$
which is open since $f$ is an open map (Property 1) and $f^{-1}(y)$ is finite.
Next for each $A_x$, let $B_x \subset A_x$ be the preimage of $V$ under $f|_{A_x}$. Then each $B_x$ is disjoint and homeomorphic under $f|_{B_x}$ to its $V$ (Property 3).
Now, let $B^c = \left(\cap_{x \in f^{-1}(y)} B_x\right)^c$ which is closed.  Then $f(B^c)$ is closed (Property 4) and doesn't contain $y$ which is closed as a set.  Then since the space $Y$ is normal (Property 5, Compactness and Hausdorffnes of $Y$), we can choose a neighborhood of $y$, $V'$, that doesn't meet $f(B^c)$.
Finally, for each $B_x$, let $C_x$ be the open subset of $B_x$ which maps to $V \cap V'$.  Then

*

*each $C_x$ is open and homeomorphic to $V \cap V'$ under $f|_{C_x}$ (Property 3);

*the elements of $\{C_x\}_{x \in f^{-1}(y)}$ are disjoint; and

*if $z \notin \cup_{x \in f^{-1}(y)} C_x$ then either $z \in B^c$ so $f(z) \notin V \cap V'$ or $z \in B_{x_0}$ but $\notin C_{x_0}$ for some $x_0 \in f^{-1}(y)$ so $f(z) \notin V \cap V'$

Thus $V\cap V'$ is a neighborhood of $y$ such that $f^{-1}(V \cap V') = \sqcup_{x \in f^{-1}(y)} C_x$ and $f$ maps each $C_x$ homeomorphically to its image.

5th annual Keys bonefish population census results announced
VIRGINIA KEY, FL.- Results are in from last year's fifth annual Bonefish Population Census in the Florida Keys and the bonefish population has remained fairly steady from 2006, however, the number of volunteers participating in the annual event continues to grow. According to Jerry Ault, Ph.D., University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science Professor of Marine Biology and Fisheries, that's exactly the type of fish stock numbers and community involvement he'd like to see.
"As long as the numbers aren't drastically different from year to year, it means that our methods for measuring the bonefish population are working, and that the resource appears to be sustainable," said Ault. "This year's study showed a slight decrease in the numbers of bonefish caught and released during the survey, as well as in the relative density of the bonefish population in the Keys, but this change is relatively stable."
Seventy-two teams joined the effort this year, spread out across 19 zones in four regions (Biscayne, Upper, Middle, and Lower Keys) from Key Biscayne to the Marquesas. Team participation was significantly enhanced by Gary Ellis and guides who fished in the Mercury Cheeca Redbone Tournament out of Islamorada, Fla. During the survey held in late October 2007, bonefish sightings were recorded and reported directly to Ault's team at the Rosenstiel School. The 2006 census indicated a fishable population over 382,000, while this year's findings point to a very slight decrease in that number estimated at 364,000 bonefish throughout the Florida Keys. The bonefish being calculated are those large enough (i.e. > 14 inches) to be targeted on the flats for catch and release sport fishing.
"What has been exciting about this year's census is that we've had more guides and fisherman involved than ever before," Ault said. "It's becoming even clearer to fishing guides, enthusiasts and environmentalists alike that understanding more about the bonefish population helps, not only the environment and the sport of fishing, but also the state economy in Florida."
"Bonefish bring in roughly $1 billion dollars annually in tourism to the Florida economy, which factored down ends up being $75,000 per fish over its lifetime," Ault added.
Coordinated by Bonefish & Tarpon Unlimited (BTU) and the Bonefish and Tarpon Conservation Research Center at the Rosenstiel School, the census aims to document population trends of one of South Florida's most important sport fish. Professional guides from the Florida Keys Fishing Guides Association, the Lower Keys Fishing Guides Association, and the Key Largo Fishing Guides Association provided the census with boats and manpower.
Bonefish are an important "indicator" species, in that they help scientists to better understand the population density of small organisms in the same community, while also providing clues to the overall health of the ecosystem. Declines in the number of indicator species often give early clues that something is adversely affecting the local environment.

The Three Orange Peris
Dr. Ignácz Kúnos September 22, 2016
In olden time, when there was abundance of all things, we ate and drank the whole day long, yet went hungry to bed. At this time there lived a Padishah whose days were joyless, for he had no son. Sorrowfully he set out with his lala, and as they wandered, drinking coffee and smoking tobacco, they came to a wide valley. They sat down to rest, and suddenly the valley resounded with the cracking of whips, and a white, bearded dervish, clad in green, with yellow shoes, appeared before them. The Padishah and his companion trembled with fright, but when the dervish approached and saluted them with "Selâmin alejküm!" they took courage and returned the greeting: "Ve alejküm selâm!"
"Whither bound, Padishah?" inquired the dervish.
"If thou knowest that I am the Padishah thou canst also tell me the remedy for my grief," answered he.
Taking an apple from his breast and presenting it to the Padishah, the dervish said: "Give one half to the Sultana and eat the other yourself," and immediately disappeared.
The Padishah accordingly went home, gave half of the apple to his consort and ate the other half himself, and before long a Shahzada, or Crown Prince, was born in the palace. The Padishah was beside himself with joy. He gave money to the poor, set slaves free, and prepared a feast for everybody.
The Prince grew and attained his fourteenth year. One day he accosted his father with the request: "My Padishah and father, have built for me a small marble palace, with two fountains, from one of which shall flow oil and from the other honey."
"The Prince took up a stone and cast it at the old woman's jug and broke it to pieces. " Illustration by Willy Pogany. Published in Forty-Four Turkish Fairy Tales (1913), George G. Harrap & Co.
The Padishah loved his only son so much that he ordered the palace to be built with the two fountains, in accordance with the boy's desire. Now as the Prince sat in his palace looking on the two fountains which yielded oil and honey, an old woman appeared with a jug in her hand, intending to fill it at the fountain. The Prince took up a stone and cast it at the old woman's jug and broke it to pieces. Without a word the woman withdrew. Next day she came again, and just as she was about to fill her jug the Prince once more threw a stone and broke the vessel. Without a word the old woman went away. On the third day she reappeared, and for the third time her jug was shattered by the Prince. Said the old woman: "I pray Allah thou mayst be smitten with love for the three Orange Peris." She then went away, and was seen no more.
From that moment the Prince was seized as with a devouring fire. He pined and faded, and the Padishah, observing his son's condition, called in physicians and hodjas, but no one could cure the Prince's malady. "Oh, Shah," said the son to his father one day, "my dear father, these people can do me no good; their efforts are in vain. I love the three Orange Fairies, and shall have no peace till I find them."
"Oh, my child," lamented the Padishah, "thou art my only one. If thou forsake me, then can I have no joy."
But as the Prince continued to get worse, the Padishah thought it better to withhold no longer his permission for the boy's setting out; he might perhaps find the three fairies and return home.
Laden with costly treasures the Prince set forth. Over hill and down dale, ever onward he pursued his way. On a boundless plain he found himself suddenly confronted with the gigantic Dew-mother. Standing astride upon two hills, one foot on each, she crunched resin in her jaws, and the sound could be heard two miles away. Her breathing raised storms, and her arms were nine yards long.
"How do you do, mother?" the youth said to her, putting his arm round her waist.
"Hadst thou not called me 'mother' I would have swallowed thee," returned the woman. Then she asked him whence he came and whither he would go.
"Oh, dear mother," sighed the boy, "such misfortune is mine that it were better you did not ask and I did not answer."
"But tell me," demanded the woman.
"Oh, dear mother," he sighed again, "I am in love with the three Orange Fairies. Can you not show me the way to them?"
"Silence!" commanded the woman; "it is forbidden to utter that word. I and my sons guard ourselves against them but I know not where they dwell. I have forty sons, who go up and down in the earth; perhaps they may know."
When evening came, before the return of the Dew-sons, the woman picked up the Prince and struck him gently, whereupon he was transformed into a water-jug.
She was only just in time, for suddenly the forty Dew-fellows appeared and cried: "We smell the flesh of man, mother!"
"But," returned the mother, "what should a man be doing here? You had better sit down to your supper."
So the Dew-fellows sat down to their meal, during the course of which the mother inquired: "If you had a mortal brother, what would you do with him?"
"What should we do with him?" they all answered in chorus. "We should love him as a brother."
On receiving this assurance the Dew-mother struck the water-jug and the Prince appeared. "Here is your brother," she said, presenting him to her forty sons. The Dews welcomed the youth with joy, called him their brother, gave him a place beside them, and demanded of their mother why she had not produced him before the meal. "My children," she replied, "he could not have eaten the food you are accustomed to; mortals eat fowl, beef, mutton and such."
Immediately one of the Dews got up, fetched a sheep, and set it before the youth.
"You simpleton!" scolded the woman; "it must first be cooked."
So the imp took the sheep away, and returned with it roasted, setting it once more before the Prince. Having eaten till he was satisfied, the Prince put the rest aside. Noticing this, the imps inquired why he did not eat it all, and their mother informed them that the children of men did not eat so much as Dew-fellows.
"Let us see how mutton tastes," said one of the imps, and in a couple of mouthfuls the whole sheep was gone.
Next morning the woman said to her sons: "your brother has great grief." "What is it?" they asked; "we may be able to help him." "He is in love with the three Orange Fairies," proceeded the mother. "We know not the dwelling-place of the Orange Fairies; we never go in their neighbourhood; but perhaps our aunt knows." "Take the youth to her," ordered the woman; "greet her on my behalf, tell her this is my son, and that I wish her, if possible, to help him." The Dews accordingly conducted the Prince to their aunt, and told her all.
This old witch had sixty sons, and not knowing herself where the Orange Fairies lived, she awaited the return of her progeny. As she was uncertain how her sons would receive the visitor, she struck him gently and turned him into a vessel. "We smell the flesh of man!" the Dews shouted as they ran into the room.
"No doubt you have been eating human flesh," answered their mother. "Now come to your supper." The sons sat down to eat eagerly. Then the woman struck the vessel, and the sixty Dews, on beholding the little mortal, received him heartily, offered him a seat, and set food before him.
"My sons," said the imps' mother on the following day, "this child is in love with the three Orange Fairies; can you not take him to them?" "It is certain we cannot," they answered, "but perhaps our other aunt knows the way." "Then take him to her," said the woman; "greet her on my behalf, tell her the boy is my son and will be hers; she may be able to help him."
The imps accordingly conducted the youth to their aunt and related all. "Oh, my children," she answered, "I can do nothing, but when my eighty sons return this evening I will inquire of them."
The sixty Dews took leave of the Prince, and toward evening the Dew. mother gave him a knock and turned him into a broom, which she put behind the door. Hardly had she done this than the eighty Dews came home, and began muttering about the smell of human flesh. During supper their mother asked them what they would do if they had a mortal brother. As they all swore a solemn oath to do him no harm, she took the broom, struck it lightly, and the Prince appeared.
The imps received him cordially, inquired after his health, and set food before him. Then the woman asked them whether they knew where the three Orange Fairies lived, as their new brother was in love with them. With a cry of joy the youngest Dew-son sprang up and said that he knew. "Then," rejoined the mother, "take the youth there that he may accomplish his desire."
Next morning the imp and the Prince set out on their journey. As they proceeded the young Dew said: "Brother, we shall soon reach a large garden, in which there is a pond, where the three oranges will be found. When I cry, 'Shut your eyes–open your eyes!' do so, and seize whatever presents itself."
Proceeding a little farther, they came to the garden, and as the Dew caught sight of the pond he cried to the Prince: "Shut your eyes–open your eyes!" The Prince saw the three oranges on the smooth surface of the pond, seized one and put it in his pocket. Again the Dew cried: "Shut your eyes–open your eyes!" Obeying, the Prince seized the second orange, and likewise the third. "Now," said the Dew, "take care not to open the oranges at any spot where there is no water, or you will repent it." Promising to follow his advice, the Prince parted from the Dew, the one going to the right, the other to the left.
As the Prince travelled up hill and down dale he remembered the oranges and took one out of his pocket with the intention of opening it. Hardly had he inserted his knife in the peel than a lovely maiden, beautiful as the full moon, sprang out, crying: "Water! give me water!" and as there was no water near, she vanished immediately. The Prince deeply regretted what he had done, but it could not be helped now.
Some hours elapsed, he had walked many miles, and again he thought of the oranges. He took out the second, slit it, and behold! out sprang a maiden lovelier than the first. She also demanded water, and, seeing none, likewise vanished.
"I must take better care of the third," thought the Prince as he tramped wearily onward. On reaching a spring he drank of it, and resolved to open his third orange. He did so, and a maiden more lovely than either of the others appeared. As she also asked for water, the Prince led her to the spring, gave her to drink, and she remained with him.
The Prince was anxious that the maiden should enter his father's city with befitting state. So he persuaded her to hide in a tree near the spring, while he went to fetch a coach and gorgeous raiment. When he had gone away a black slave-woman came to the spring for water. Seeing therein the reflection of the maiden from the tree above, and thinking it was her own image, she soliloquised: "I am much more beautiful than my mistress. Why should I carry water for her? Rather should she carry it for me," and she threw down her jug so violently that it broke in pieces.
She returned to the house, and when her mistress asked where the jug was, the negress turned upon her scornfully " I am more beautiful than you; henceforth you must fetch me water." The mistress, holding up the mirror, answered "Are you out of your wits? Look in the glass," and the negress, looking, saw that she was really black. Without another word she again took a jug and went to the spring to fill it. Arrived there, she saw a second time the reflection of the maiden in the tree and mistook it for her own.
"I am after all more beautiful than my mistress," she cried aloud. Throwing down her jug, she once more went to the house. Again the mistress asked why she had brought no water. "I am more beautiful than you; you must fetch me water," was the retort. "You are mad, girl," returned the mistress, again holding the mirror up before the swarthy face of the slave, who, realising that she was indeed a negress, took a third jug and went yet a third time to the spring. The reflection of the maiden again appeared in the water, and the negress was just about to dash her jug to pieces when the maid called to her from the tree: "Break not your jug; what you behold in the water is my reflection, not your own."
The negress looked up, and seeing in the tree a being so wondrously beautiful lovelier than anyone she had ever seen before–she addressed her in words of honeyed flattery:
"Oh, most charming of all maidens, surely you must be tired from sitting up there so long. Come down and lay your weary head in my lap."
The bait was taken, and as the maiden's head lay in her lap, the negress took a hair pin and thrust it into her skull. But at the very moment the murderous intention was accomplished the maiden was transformed into an orange coloured bird and flew away, leaving the negress by the tree.
Shortly afterwards the Prince returned in a magnificent coach, and clad in gold brocade. Glancing at the tree and seeing the swarthy features of the negress, he asked what had happened. "Leave me here and go away," answered the negress. "The sun has quite spoilt my complexion." What could the poor Prince do? He put the supposed maiden in the coach and took her to his father's palace.
The courtiers awaited the arrival of the fairy bride with eager curiosity; when they saw the negress they were at a loss to imagine what the Prince could find attractive about her. "She is not a negress," explained the Prince; "only she was in the sun so long she has become somewhat sunburnt; she will soon become white again." With these words he led her to her apartments.
Near the Prince's palace was a large garden. Here one day the Orange Bird flew in, and, alighting on a tree, called to the gardener.
"What wilt thou of me?" asked the gardener.
"How is the Prince?" inquired the bird.
"Quite well," was the answer.
"And how is his black wife?" was the next inquiry.
"Oh, she is quite well, but keeps to her apartments," replied the gardener.
At this the bird flew off. Next day it came again, and repeated the questions of the previous day. On the third day also it did the same; and it came to pass that every tree on which the bird had sat withered away. Shortly afterward, as the Prince was walking in the garden, seeing so many withered trees he spoke to the gardener. "Why do you not take proper care of these trees?" he asked; "they are all withered! "
Hereupon the gardener related the incident of the bird and its questions, and observed that though he had done his utmost for the trees it was all in vain. The Prince commanded him to smear the trees with birdlime, and when the bird was caught to bring it himself to the palace. So the bird was caught and taken to the Prince, who put it in a cage.
As soon as the negress saw the bird she knew it was really the beautiful maiden. She now pretended to be dangerously ill, sent for the chief physicians, and, bribing them, got them to report to the Prince that only by eating a certain kind of bird could she possibly recover.
When the Prince heard that his wife was very ill he called the physicians before him and asked what was to be done. They told him that the Princess could only be cured if a certain kind of bird were given her to eat. "I have lately caught such a bird," said the Prince, and he commanded that the captive should be killed and served up to his wife. But by chance one of the bird's beautiful feathers fell to the floor, and lodged, without anyone observing it, between two planks.
Time passed, and the Prince was still waiting for his wife to turn white. In the palace was an old woman who taught reading and writing to the inmates. One day, being about to ascend the stairs, she espied a bright object. She picked it up, and saw that it was a bird's feather with spots on it that sparkled like diamonds. She took the feather to her own room and stuck it in a crevice in the wall.
One day while she was in attendance at the palace the feather fell from its position, and ere it could reach the floor, behold! it was trans formed into a lovely maiden, of dazzling beauty. The maiden swept the floor, cooked the dinner, and put everything in order, after which she resumed the form of a feather and went back to her place on the wall. When the old governess arrived home she was astonished. She looked everywhere, but could find no clue to the riddle.
Next morning while she was in the palace the feather again assumed human form and acted as on the day before. On the third day the old woman, determined to solve the mystery, instead of leaving her apartments locked the door as though she intended to go to the palace as usual, but hid herself. Soon she saw a maiden in the room, who, after putting everything in proper order, set about the cooking. When all was ready the dame ran in and caught the mysterious maiden and demanded an explanation. The latter related her adventures, telling how the negress had twice taken her life, and how she had come there in the form of a feather.
"Grieve not, my daughter," said the old dame, consoling her, "I will soon put the matter right.' She lost no time in going to the Prince, whom she invited to supper the same evening.
After supper coffee was brought in, and as the maiden set down the cups the Prince chanced to look into her face, and immediately swooned away.
When he had been brought to consciousness again he asked who the maiden was. "My servant," answered the old woman. "Whence have you obtained her?" demanded the Prince. "Will you not sell her to me?" "How can I sell you what already belongs to you?" returned the dame. Taking the maiden by the hand, she led her to the Prince, exhorting him thenceforth to guard his Orange Fairy with more care.
The Prince took his true bride home in triumph to his palace, ordered the negress to instant execution, and celebrated his new wedding feast for forty days and forty nights. This happy end attained, we will once more stretch ourselves on our divan.

Surprise! Apple didn't buy Omnifone, provider of Samsung's defunct Milk music service
Jordan Kahn
- Jul. 20th 2016 3:08 pm PT
@JordanKahn
Following speculation today that Apple could be behind the reported purchase of music tech company Omnifone, The Loop confirmed with sources (as did others) that Apple isn't the buyer.
That speculation today followed a report earlier this month detailing the sale of the company and speculating on the buyer's identity.
One of Apple's latest acquisitions appears to be cloud-based music provider and Omnifone, according to an inside source that shared knowledge of the purchase with MacRumors
The report claimed that Apple had entered a royalty agreement with Omnifone and appeared to behind the $10M purchase detailed in the previous report.
Earlier this month Music Ally offered details on what it said was a $10 million sale of the UK-based company, including its technology related to digital music distribution and rights. The company's technology, namely its MusicStation platform, was previously used by Sony, Samsung, Blackberry, and others to power various backend components of their music streaming services before it went bankrupt in May.
And it does indeed appear that Omnifone has ended relationships with partners following the sale of the company. At least one of Omnifone's previous partners, music service PonoMusic, published a public announcement acknowledging as much. Pono also confirmed Omnifone was purchased by a "large company."
It just doesn't look like Apple was the buyer.

I've found that there are many in the Church who suffer from what one might call: me-sim. My spirituality, my this, or my that… Where I can be happy, where I can be comfortable, where can I benefit. That focus is wrong. Totally wrong. It isn't about you, and what you want, or what you can get out of serving God in His Church (1 Cor 3:23). Look outward. Look out and see a lost, suffering, sinful and needy world, a world that is dying for want of Christ. Go into that world, and proclaim and live out the Gospel, both by thought, word and deed (St Mark 16:15). Do this, whether they are willing to listen to you or not. As John Wesley once rightly noted, 'Catch on fire and others will love to come watch you burn'.
As I said yesterday, it was an extended weekend with Monday being Heritage Day. Friday, I was called to go and do some trauma debriefing. Saturday was a full day of refresher training (Chaplaincy) with the Emergency Service, which I volunteer in doing (btw, if you're a Christian (Ordained or Lay) and are sick of twiddling your thumbs wondering about rituals, liturgical rites and/or the hybridisation thereof, then go down to your local Hospital, Fire Department, Police Station or School and volunteer to do some counseling and ministry. Go in the name of Jesus Christ to those places where sin is most acutely felt, and make a difference. You'll be surprised at the need… It is massive. People are hurting indeed).
Sunday was a blessed Mass, though numbers were slightly down given the long-weekend and many going away. Then I got home to the 'Archbishop John Hepworth' story, a leak to the Aussie press who had a field day. I posted it on my blog. It's almost laughable that my calling for Archbishop John Hepworth to be honest, open, reconciled and to work with (as much as lies within him) those that he is estranged from, constitutes 'trashing'. I don't know much about the man except that which I read in the press like the rest of you. I am not privy to any inside information. I am a Parish Priest who blogs on Church matters and news. I met the Archbishop once (or at least saw him once) at the funeral of the late Bishop Trevor Rhodes. The rest is out there in the secular media, news, and the blogosphere for all to see. Why he doing and saying the things he is, why he is accused of fiddling with Church funds whether that was in 1974 or later, why he did what he is said to have done to fellow Churchmen is all beyond me. What I'll say is that reading about it leaves a rather bad taste in the mouth and makes for a pathetic Christian witness. And, if I may add, for an innocent, Archbishop John Hepworth certainly seems to be accused of much, and to my mind has far too many detractors, and Christian detractors at that. Of course, he is assumed innocent until proven otherwise. It's the behavour and attitude being displayed that is questionable and bothers me most. 'A bishop then must be blameless' (or 'above reproach' as some other versions have it) – (1 Tim 3:2). That's not me. That's plain Scripture. How calling the Archbishop to answer and/or explain constitutes 'hatred, psychological and spiritual torture and religious fanaticism in its worst form' is simply beyond me. That is an emotive and irrational response. Unhelpful. What I see going on is being done in an orderly, legal and professional manner. The only one perpetually running to the media is Archbishop John Hepworth himself. None of it is about taking sides, but rather about the truth. A search for the truth. 'God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. Take which you please; you can never have both' – Ralph Waldo Emerson. So there's now a lot happening in the Church in Australia, and we would all do well to sincerely pray for them, and give them a chance to let God undertake, and in the end, all will be well.
No sooner had I posted the above news (and yes, my call for Archbishop Hepworth at the very least to admit that there is some sort of a problem and/or misunderstanding and to state that he is both willing and working towards sorting it all out – one doesn't hear anything of the sort does one?) than the phone rang. I was called out to a house in the Strand. It was raining as I drove and when I got there, the EMS and Police where already on scene. A 3 month old precious little girl had passed away. She lay there, on the bed, in pink, eyes – empty eyes – staring blankly without registering, her spirit, well away from the mortal remains. It's hard to try to make sense of such a death. Almost impossible. Just as hard is trying to tell the bereaved, the devastated parents, that God is still good… and that He cares. But try, one has to. Because only God is able to make sense of the senseless. At times like this, we need to seek and know God's peace and indeed draw upon His power and strength. Getting home just after 21:00, switching on the blog and reading the com box as the Hepworthian comments quickly filtered through, that simply paled in comparison to the traumatic world I had just come from… an infinitesimal comparison.
Last night a Mother of one of our congregants passed away. She was a member of another Anglican Church. The Minister never came. I was called. It didn't matter. I went. Her funeral is Friday and I'll be doing it. She was never on our Parish Roll… But see if I care!
Jesus calls us to serve as His hands, His feet, and His voice. Now, if you do that, there won't be enough time in the day to stress about yourself and what you need or can gain from life – spiritually or otherwise. Churchianity is so far removed from real Christianity. If your focus is the Cross and all it requires of you, then you won't need to be looking around for direction. It's already there. In front of your nose. Being Jesus to another is all but a conversation away.
See one of the things I've learnt from the Bishop who now shepherds us, is it is not about what the Church can do for you, but what you can do for the Church. The Church belongs to Christ. Each of us has been given some rather unique and individual talents and abilities to use (1 Cor 12:28). And we do well to use them in and for Kingdom work. The Church's mission is saving those perishing, bringing them in, and steering them to the safe harbour that is Heaven. It lies within each of us to fulfil that mandate. And the Bible teaches that everything written from cover to cover in Scripture can be summed up with two statements: Love God and Love Others.
The Traditional Anglican Communion will conduct a special internal hearing in India next month into allegations of financial irregularities at the Australian arm of the church involving Archbishop John Hepworth, which were first raised by a priest he had tried to suspend.
Archbishop Hepworth yesterday said he had not been told what charges he was facing and would not attend the tribunal in New Delhi on October 6.
The acting primate of the breakaway church, India-based Archbishop Samuel Prakash, said the allegations against the Adelaide priest were yet to be tested.
"This matter was presented by Bishop David Robarts, a standing TAC bishop in Australia, and (is) under consideration," he said.
Bishop Robarts yesterday refused to say what allegations he had raised with the church's international leadership, but said he hoped the issues would be resolved at the tribunal.
Archbishop Hepworth, who was instrumental in seeking his church's reunion with Rome, was forced to resign as the global head of the TAC in April, seven months after he raised allegations that he had been raped by Adelaide Catholic priest Ian Dempsey and two others in the 1960s.
A meeting of the church leadership in South Africa this year found Archbishop Hepworth had tried to suspend Bishop Robarts from the church on "insufficient" grounds.
