Grand Designs Live Show – are you going?
Have you ever been to the Grand Designs Live show before? If the answer is no, then you really need to get yourself down there. Particularly if you are about to start a home renovation, mid home renovation or just love housey things! Just like last year, the show started with a bang.
We are ready and waiting at our stand L1 and cannot wait to see you. This year we have with us lots of amazingly multifunctional tables, a sofa bed, a horizontal wall bed and a vertical wall bed with hidden storage. In fact you might even miss the vertical wall bed as it's door is a mirror!
Our Allwood table has been taking the show by storm. Right at the front, it has been taking centre stage some what. But then you can't blame it really – it is show stopping. In a contemporary cement finish, with industrial-esque graphite legs, we find it hard to find a home that this wouldn't fit like a glove. A coffee table, to a 4 seater, 6 seater or even 8 seater dining table, this table is the definition of multifunctional. Whilst remaining beautiful all at the same time.
We cannot wait to hear which our products you think is your favourite from this years grand designs live show. Tweet us, chat to us or visit our showroom in London to let us know. Our Vasca sofa bed is becoming a close favourite. Not only for those in need of a little perch, but a quick nap for those who have really hit the show hard! Don't worry, if you fall asleep on any of our products, we take it as a compliment.
The grand designs live show is our home for the 5 days, and having had 4 smashing days so far, we have sort of forgotten about our feet feeling a little tired. Please excuse our 'comfort over style' shoes! We usually look much more stylish I promise.

Climbing Snowdon: The Watkin Path
The Watkin Path is the toughest of the standard routes up Snowdon. There may be other routes known to climbers considered more challenging, such as the haul up Crib Goch, but of those normal routes straight to the top, the Watkin is the one. It also has the greatest ascent from start to finish: 3,330 feet.
The walk start at the 'back of the mountain' on the south side in the valley of the Nant Gwynant, at Bethania, between the two long lakes of the valley. A short walk in leads first through lovely woodland, then it begins to mean business as you walk up a dry valley carved into the mountainside, where Snowdon was heavily quarried for slate.
The Watkin Path is the toughest of the standard routes up Snowdon. There may be other routes known to climbers considered more challenging, such as the haul up Crib Goch, but of those normal routes straight to the top, the Watkin is the one. It also has the greatest ascent from start to finish: 3,330 feet, or 1,015 m in French.
It has been several years since I climbed the Watkin, so I have no photographs of my own for this own. I had it easy: my wife climbed with me in spite of a bout of flu, but we wanted to climb it before moving on and so we did.
The walk start at the 'back of the mountain' on the south side in the valley of the Nant Gwynant, at Bethania, between the two long lakes of the valley. There is a convenient car park (with few cars when we were there, but if it were full I cannot think where else you might stop). A short walk in leads first through lovely woodland, then it begins to mean business as you walk up a dry valley carved into the mountainside; here a theme of the walk appears as this is a side of Snowdon heavily quarried for slate. There is a large monument here marking a speech by Gladstone: what days they were when people would travel to a remote valley to hear a political speech, unless he just spoke to quarrymen off their shift.
The incline of a slate tramway crosses the path, while the path itself winds first beside the Cwm Llan river, then splits from a path across the flank of the mountain (which goes to Rhyd Ddu as it happens), crosses the stream and begins to climb in earnest, and when the path begins to climb, it does not stop.
The path has a haul up to the craggy ridge of Y Lliwedd (though not to its summit) before following the ridge north-west directly toward Snowdon's summit.
One high section of this climb I distinctly; remember clambering with my hands and finding the foothold for us both on a narrow, very steep section, with the slate breaking away as we trod on it or held. The weather was closing in too at that point. Somehow in spite of weather and influenza we reached the ridge and the climb was still not over as we worked our way up to the summit.
I am told that this upper section has since had work done to it to make it less of s death-trap.
It was late in the season and late in the day for a climb and for once, I think the only time, the summit was empty.
Waterfall on the Cwm Llan River
We were unable to go back the same way after that break-away section and my wife's state of health but we found instead an easier downward route, along Bwlch Main – a ridge on the other side of the quarried valley, down to the flank track from Rhyd Ddu, whence back to the Cwm Llan, and a feeling of a job well done.
I may have to revisit, this time with a camera, to see what has been done to the route. It was fascinating as a side of the mountain not so frequently seen, and to encounter just one other walker, and that on the Bwlch Main path, is unique in my experience of Snowdon.
The best maps for Snowdon are of course the Ordnance Survey maps; the 'Explorer' at 1:25 000 and the 'Landranger' at 1:50 000:

Downing Street to Maidenhead walk
It is too enclosed for the mind to breathe, too urban – why seek to walk to Downing Street, when it is best sometimes to shut the door and walk away from it, to a quieter, riverside town where there is rest to find and less trouble. So, while many have started looking towards that street, and we have provided a series of 'Downing Street Walks' to assist them to find the way, what of an escape for rest, to a gentle town beside the green reaches of the River Thames; a place such as Maidenhead?
The back way out of Downing Street westward opens onto St James's Park, with little paths by the lake leading to Buckingham Palace, but here it is time to bid farewell to the pomp of power and splendour – there is a walk ahead.
The mapped route follows through the Royal Parks, by the river, by the canal with is a monument to the industrial age, and into the beauties and otherwise of southern Buckinghamshire and eastern Berkshire, all to reach the refuge from the unforgiving town which you so need.

The Rickmansworth Canal Festival
I have written of the Grand Union Canal as providing the path for many a good walk, but it is not all about walking: there is the wet bit in the middle, the canal itself, and the canal is abuzz with life. Last weekend was the annual Rickmansworth Canal Festival; a celebration of the life of the canal, also with land-based stalls, events, live music stage and funfair. It is on the canal though that the festival comes into its own, and the narrow water throngs with colourful boats.
This is a celebration of the outdoors, if not a walk, but a life in the fresh air.
You would not know until you see them, or if you are of the fellowship of boaters, how many canal boats there are, and the variety of them. Some canals are very narrow, as on the Aylesbury Arm just 7 feet wide, and the narrowboats built for it are narrow. The main line through is a broader water, and by Batchworth they were moored three abreast with still ample room for passage past them, and here they gathered, brightly coloured in the canal-art style, or duller, working boats, and broad-bottomed boats that once hauled coal from Birmingham to London, restored with loving attention. Some are boats turned into floating stalls selling paintings, artworks, books and more, and others to remind us of the rescue services, including the canal chaplaincy. There is fellowship here and a unity despite the ill-matched types. All celebrated, bedecked with bunting.
On day 1 of Herts Embraced I crossed the Wendover and Aylesbury Arms, and saw the Wendover Arm cut off; dry and empty up to a dam, then brimful of water and ready the other – that is a tribute to the work of volunteers that still continues – that dam will be driven back as the work goes on until the Wendover Arm is full and operational. It is an artificial waterway, so it need maintenance or it decays, bursts and empties. that is worthy work, but I have not volunteered my arm yet.
The boats are shaped by their owners and maybe the names give a clue to eccentricities: plenty are named for wives and sweethearts and others, well, I did not see "Fat Bottomed Girl" nor "The Slowness of Cows" but I have seen each ply the canal. I am a walker not a boater, but I can give a cheer for those who take the tiller in order to enjoy the unhurried flow of the fields past them, and the slowness of cows.

The Grand Union
The Grand Union Canal has been a thread through many episodes of my life. I was not brought up anywhere near it nor educated nor until twenty years ago did I live by it, but it was always reappearing. Today, its towpath provides a route on many a walk I have made and others I have planned.
It is a manmade imposition in the landscape but amongst all the less sympathetic concrete intrusions it is a pleasing line of cool water and opens a corridor through jarring modernity. The ducks do not know the difference between a river and a canal, and nature reclaims all it can, so if you can ignore the ruler-straight sides, the concrete edges and the lack of current, it can become a country river for you.
As I child I helped my gather to help a family friend move his canal boat up the Grand Union, which seemed to take all day but was, looking back at it, a short distance as these boats are slow vessels. I took a job for a while in Birmingham, and the canal towpath provided a route for evening runs, and a short, safer route for cycling between the city and the suburbs, and at Birmingham it is part of a network of industrial canals which allow the walker to disappear from the groaning cityscape. It was on a canal adjoining it that I used to run down to Bourneville and take in the chocolate-flavoured air, when the Cadbury factory was venting (the railway bridge over the canal was painted in Cadbury purple-and-gold, I recall). I would escape to the villages and in places like Henley in Arden the canal had followed me. I was told that they used to hold there an "Alternative Henley Regatta", where boats would be hauled through the street before being put on the canal. I took another job, in Milton Keynes, and there was the Grand Union, the one purposeful water in an artificial landscape with man-wrought lakes. In other places too I met the canal as I travelled the Midlands, until by coincidence I moved to a village on its course, and now I often cycle the towpath as a practical way around the area. It shapes the landscape in more ways too: the Ruislip Lido, where the children play and which is on the path of the Middlesex Greenway, the large, man-made lake is a reservoir built to feed the canal.
The canal was 'officially' created in 1929, but that was just the nominal grouping of other pre-existing canals. The Grand Junction Canal, which forms most of the main line, was begun in 1793. In addition to the main route from Brentford or Paddington to Birmingham, there are seven branches off, or 'arms', of which I have walked along the Aylesbury, Wendover and Slough Arms, at least, and will do so again.
It is a ubiquitous canal. (The canal has also featured in number of 'Downing Street Walks' as a way to pass through the conurbation at ease.)
Looking back, many of the posts I have made have featured sections of this canal. The advantage of a canal walk as against a river walk is that the towpath provides a reliable path. Perhaps a few articles are needed specifically on canal walks. I may follow that up in the summer.

Snowdon by the Rhyd Ddu Path
The Rhyd Ddu and Snowdon Ranger Paths snake up Snowdon's western slope. These are routes less taken but are rewarding ways up. The paths are both three and a half miles long, and reckoned at 3 hours' walking, if you are fit: always allow for more.
Rhyd Ddu, the starting point for this eponymous path, is just south of Snowdon Ranger and like it is a tiny hamlet in the valley beneath the western slope of Snowdon. Its name means "Black Ford", and like its twin it is clustered about a station on the exquisite Welsh Highland Railway (about which separately). The railway then provides an access. (You can just pay to park in the station car park and walk, but it is a good excuse for a ride on a beautiful steam-hauled, narrow-gauge line.)
What I most remember about Rhyd Ddu is the torrential rain, and being barely able to expose a map or any paper to the open without its dissolving. The path is signposted at least, and the destination clear above – except that it was not that day as I could not see more than a hundred yards ahead.
Descending the Rhyd Ddu Path
There is more to Rhyd Ddu than a station and the way up Snowdon, not much more in terms of the village itself, but it can be used as a spot to visit other heights and sites. Rhyd Ddu stands at the head of the pass, the Colwyn flowing south and the Gwyrfai north. Westward is the Nantlle Ridge, marking the end of Snowdonia, and the Nantlle Valley, to the north Llyn Cwellyn, and to the east the towering presence of Snowdon.
To Snowdon then. The Rhyd Ddu path is a straightforward route at the start, ascending across fields and wood, on a good track through the Cwm Caregog and up to the crags. The promise of a sudden incline looms ahead. The path becomes less one of meadow and bog and more rock and slate.
The path heads up Bwlch Main ('Narrow Pass'), which is a strenuous section, and as it grows steeper those strong calf muscles will be needed. It climbs to the edge of the cliffs which form a corrie dropping away northwards, then round the cliffs up the bwlch straight to the summit.
This last section makes the Rhyd Ddu path, which begins so gently, one of the toughest of the main Snowdon routes.

GTA 5: How To Transfer Your Solo and Online Backup To Next-Gen?
Technorati Blog, 9 months ago 0 5 min read 56
GTA 5 is out a second time on next-gen! After going through the ages, the must-have arrives on the latest console generation, offering players the opportunity to transfer their old save and online character. We will explain everything to you.
GTA 5 and GTA Online next-gen
Transfer your backup
GTA Online free on PS5
Price and pre-order
In 2013, the Playstation 3 was experiencing its last moments of glory, and the Xbox 360 marked the end of its success story that brought it to the level of its competitor at Sony.
GTA 5 was then released, winning all records and prizes, quickly becoming one of the best-selling games behind the Minecraft phenomenon.
Nine years and 160 million sales later, Rockstar's star title is given a new life with two new versions dedicated to next-gen consoles, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. A port that results in new purchase and a backup transfer for those who wish. We explain how to do it.
How To Transfer Your GTA 5 and GTA Online Backup?
What Are The Next-Gen Versions Of GTA 5 and GTA Online
GTA Online is Accessible on PS5 for Three Months
Price and re-order
If you've ever spent long hours on the streets of Los Santos on your PS4 or Xbox One, and want to buy one of the next-gen versions of GTA 5, know that you have the opportunity to transfer your character from one console generation to another.
These transfers concern both the story and online modes and are unique. Therefore, it will be possible to transfer a backup of the single-player Mode and a backup of the Online Mode to your next-generation console. These transfers are only possible between consoles of the same manufacturer, PS4 to PS5 and Xbox One to Xbox Series. Here is the transfer method as described by Rockstar:
Upload your save from your old console to the Rockstar Social Club: Go to your game on your PS4 or Xbox One, then to the Game tab of the pause menu. There you will find the option "Download Game Save". Your backup will then be transmitted to your Rockstar Social Club account and remain there for 90 days. When you sign in to your account from your new console (PS5 or Xbox Series), you will be able to recover your backup.
There is no need for careful manipulation for GTA Online; log in to your Rockstar Games Social Club profile on your new console and enjoy your character as you left it on your old-gen console.
As we told you in the introduction, the period that the world of console video games is going through is quite complex, stuck between an older generation of consoles and a new generation that is difficult to find in stores.
As a result, the transition between the "old-gen" and the "next-gen" is longer than expected, hence the multiplication of "cross-gen" game releases, available on both PS4 and PS5, for example. However, the Xbox Series X and PS5 offer much higher performance than their predecessors, benefiting from Ray-Tracing and SSD storage technologies. Therefore, it is pretty normal for popular titles like GTA 5 to focus on the new generation of consoles.
For the consumer, this porting usually translates in two ways. First, a free upgrade to the next-gen version for all players owning the game on the older generation of consoles. Secondly, the release of games is entirely different from the old titles, integrating the new consoles' new technical features and selling separately. And when it comes to GTA 5, Rockstar is moving towards the second option. To enjoy these new versions of the game, offering textures in 4K, Ray-Tracing and 60 fps, it will be necessary to repurchase the game in its Xbox Series X|S or PS5 version. A piece of news challenging to swallow for some of the players.
That's one of the good news surrounding the release of GTA 5 on next-gen consoles: online Mode is available separately from the entire game on PS5 and Xbox Series stores at a discounted price. Count 19,99 € for the online Mode against 39,99 € for the whole of the game (story + Online Mode). In addition, PS5 players can enjoy three months during which GTA Online is completely free to download, allowing them to experience the ever-changing world of Los Santos in multiplayer fully. At the end of these three months, players will be able to keep their Online version at no additional cost.
The situation is more complex when it comes to Xbox Series X gamers.
If they want to access online Mode, they have to settle for the purchase of the new next-gen version of GTA V for €39.99 that will offer them de facto access to online Mode, or they have to buy online Mode separately on the Xbox Store, like the online Mode of Red Dead Redemption 2.
The online Mode is offered at € 19.99, reduced to € 9.99 at the time of the game's launch, thanks to big promotions provided by Take-Two Interactive to celebrate this next-gen launch.
The pricing of this new release can, however, be perplexing. Between a full next-gen version, an online mode available individually and for free for three months but only on Playstation 5, there is enough to take the cabbage. We have deciphered the different events and prices surrounding the release of GTA 5 on next-generation consoles on March 15th. Attention the eyes, there is a lot of information and promotions of all kinds:
GTA V (story + online): €39.99, discount to €9.99 on launch day
Online Mode: €19.99, value to €0.00 for three months after launch
GTA V (story + online): €39.99, discount to €19.99 on launch day.

I've considered the Schlage locks but not sure if there is a manual lock/unlock of deadbolt. I think current models are only motorized lock and unlock. My main concern is that house will be in cold temperatures and worried that would cause the battery to drain more quickly causing a malfunction in locking/unlocking in extreme weather. I also would like to change the code remotely. We already have batteries that drain more quickly in our ring cameras in the winter time so assuming it would be an issue for locks too.
We already have a Schlage keyless entry that has manual turn of deadbolt but it does not have remote capability. Works fine but for the other house I would like to be able to change the code for each guest.
Re: I need a remote change code keyless entry lock that has a manual and not motorized deadbolt. Suggestions?
" Based on 10 operations per day, a single, new set of Alkaline batteries will operate the lock for over a year. "
Thank you. We have used Smart key locks before for long term rentals. They are nice.
erentallock with Schlage BE365. Shclage BE365 is non motorized, means battery only used to store codes. erentallock is algorithmic lock, you generate codes on your computer.
TYPE IN RESORTLOCK IN THE SEARCH BAR top right and there are many threads talking about it and many other locks.
I agree with scowol's suggestion to use z-wave. The Vera, www.GetVera.com, system allows you to control so much, including your lock.
This is a manual turn to lock/unlock. I've used these for the past 8 years with zero issues and remotely set the codes for my guests. However, I converted over to the motorized for the front doors 2 years ago (my properties are in an extreme climate zone). I've had zero problems with the motorized locks and the batteries have lasted 9 months before I got a text alert that they were running low (2-month warning).
Note that the batteries and mechanism ares in a component on the INSIDE of the door--not outside. If you're still worried, keep in mind that batteries fare better in colder weather!
Great! Thank you very much! I had wondered you would know if battery is low. I feel better about getting a motorized one then.
I agree with twobitrentals to look at Resortlock, and specifically the algorithmic models that do not rely on a wifi connection but rather allow unique codes to be created for the locks with no access to the locks. Adding a wifi link adds another element that can go wrong. My wifi was out recently for about 10 days. Guests did not tell me about it until after they had departed. It was a simple matter of powering off and back on to reset the wifi this time, but I have had wifi routers go down hard.
My main concern is that house will be in cold temperatures and worried that would cause the battery to drain more quickly causing a malfunction in locking/unlocking in extreme weather.
The Resortlock batteries are inside the door -- a feature I suspect is common to all electronic locks -- so while they may be in a cool location the batteries should not freeze so long as there is heat inside the home.
Just for clarity, lack of WiFi with the Vera z-wave system only means you can't access the lock remotely. It does not impact the codes that are already entered. The door can be locked or unlocked with established codes with or without WiFi or power.
Unlike the Resortlock, though, you do need WiFi to add or delete a code.
A benefit it seems that the z-wave system has over Resortlock is that you can, prior to arrival, personalize the door code for your guests - last four digits of their phone number, their zip code, their dog's birthday, whatever you or they want.
Full disclosure - I have no experience whatsoever with Resortlock.
MIke; with the Resortlock the guest can adjust the initial code by following the instructions provided in the e-mail to something they will remember once they arrive If they want. They could use their phone number, social, birthday, whatever they want. AND then it is completely secure....nobody but them has access, except the owner who would have a master code. That way if they lose the e-mail with the code or if their e-mail is hacked...no worries.
AND I think I have talked ad nauseum about the GREAT customer service there. I have had my resort lock for 8 years and when I had issues they sent me a temporary while they fixed mine. They charged me NOTHING except postage and it was out of warranty. Now I am not suggesting that they will always do that, but they made sure that my guests were able to access my property while working on my lock. They actually have "real" people you can talk to, for me this is worth EVERYTHING.
Not tied to internet......love that part....because if the power goes out and they cant use the garage door, they can always get in the front door regardless.
Are you sure that the "short code" the guest creates overwrites the code you send them? I have the eRentalLock and I don't think ours operates that way. I believe the original 10 digit code continues to work in addition to the short code. I'm not 100% sure but I think that both codes work. In fact, I think you need the original 10 digit code if the guest wants to change their short code during the stay.
If resortlock is anything like erentallock, then renters can either continue to use 10 digit code generated by the system or set their short code they can remember.
My understanding is that they get the 10 digit code to access initially, and then are able to change to a 4 digit code if they desire. I am not aware that the 10 digit remains operational after that? Good question......perhaps my orginal thought about the 10 digit being replaced is not accurate. Can someone else chime in with that information to be sure?
I second (or third) the recommendation of the algorithmic locks. I use eRentallock because I don't want to worry about a power or internet outage. I also feel that it is much safer for my guests than using keys or a lockbox. Unique codes for every guest. One time codes for cleaning people or maintenance. Guests can set their own 3-4 digit pins after opening the door. It is pretty perfect. The only concerns, and I haven't faced either, is the battery dying (it's been almost 2 years so I will replace this spring to be safe - and it will start beeping when it gets low).....and needing to kick out and block a guest. There is no way to remotely do that. Codes can be cancelled but only on the lock itself. But that is fine, if something came up I would pay my handyman to run over and lock them out.
Adding to what scowol said--the motorized locks are really helpful to lock from afar (the guest forgot), and also UNLOCK from afar. Sometimes it's just easier to buzz someone in who only needs to have access once than to program them in and delete their code. The batteries don't get chewed up in any crazy manner as long as you have a really easily-fitting bolt. If it requires jiggling or extra force to turn it, that will use more batteries. We change ours not more than every 6 months for certain. That to me is fine, like smoke detectors.
Another thing about manual throw bolts is that people aren't used to them. Perhaps this is a geographic thing. My renters are almost all from Arizona and maybe motorized locks are more common. I've had numerous calls that they're at the door, used the code provided, and nothing happened. They expect to hear the buzz of the lock opening. Answering phone calls late at night (3 hour time difference) is really no fun. I bought a keypad lock to make life easier, not more complex.
As for the eRentalLock and ResortLock variety--I understand many people on these boards love it, but we hated it. The guest is assigned a 10 digit code that I would send them with their welcome info, and then they change it to whatever number they want. At least half the time, they'd forget that paper at home or couldn't access/find their email. When you assign a code--ie the last 4 digits of their phone, it's easy peasy. They don't have to struggle reading or entering such a long string of numbers, there's no instructions for changing it to another code. With this system, another feature was that you had to set it for exact times ie: 4pm check in and 11am check out. Way too easy for them to lock themselves out at 11:01 as they're making trips to the car. It required creating another whole 10-digit code. Or, if they ask for a late checkout, same thing, you had to make a new code. Existing codes can't be edited. You can add extra hours as a buffer, but that kind of defeats the purpose. We sometimes have guests checking out and new ones coming in on the same day. When there's overlap, it invites trouble. We've had a guest who forgot something come back and walk in on the new guest.

If you're emailing a close colleague about an urgent task, you can be pretty straightforward about timing: For the project to stay on schedule, I'll need a response from you in the next 24 hours if possible. how to cancel a payment paypal Congratulations to colleague Wishes for coworker I've met a few people in my time who were enthusiastic about hard work and I've learned so much from your example and experience.
As a colleague, Ben is incredibly generous with his time and expertise, which includes everything from 10 years of management experience to an expert-level knowledge of InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. Beyond that, his co-worker, I have to say that his humor and good nature make long nights and tough deadlines much easier on his team. how to cook quinoa for one person Tip. If the colleague is the decision-maker in the company, she'll be able to give you an answer herself. If she's not, ask her to put in a good word for you with the hiring managers.
Once again, make sure you ask the question of everyone and listen carefully to each colleague's answer. This question works well on three fronts. First, it shows that you value your colleagues' opinions and consider them to be sources of expert knowledge.
In addition to being ready to interview for the job, you'll also want to be ready to negotiate salary, benefits, and specific job duties - just as you would if applying for an external job.
Colleagues or co-workers who can attest to your qualifications, strengths and job-related skills can be an excellent alternative choice. Recommendation Letters Consider who will be reading the recommendation letter before you ask a colleague to write one for you.

Alliance of American Football takes regional approach to first season
June 22, 2018 by Scott Adamson Leave a Comment
There were plenty of times during my newspaper career that I wished I had gone into marketing.
Out of Left Field is written by Scott Adamson. Follow him on Twitter @adamsonsl
Aside from making a lot more money, it seemed like it would've been a cool job that allowed for a great deal of outside-the-box thinking and creativity.
But I didn't go into marketing so, really, I can't speak intelligently about it.
Not being able to speak intelligently has never stopped me before, though. Therefore, it won't stop me from trying to make sense of the marketing strategy of the fledgling Alliance of American Football, which begins play in February.
Now in terms of the rollout, it was great.
League officials had a mission and a message, and it was all packaged with some solid branding and a terrific league logo.
And you couldn't ask for a better opening salvo – introducing Steve Spurrier as the head coach of the flagship franchise in Orlando.
But as of Wednesday the league has finalized its eight-team lineup for 2019. Cities represented will be Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis, Orlando, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Antonio and San Diego.
Notice anything strange about the franchise placement?
There's not a single team in the northeast, northwest or breadbasket of the United States. And even though the league already has a primary TV contract with the CBS Sports Network (the opener and championship game will be shown on CBS), it has only one city in the country's top 10 media markets – Atlanta.
That's puzzling.
As a Birmingham native and an aficionado of off-brand pro football, I couldn't care less; as long as the games are entertaining, I'll watch no matter where the teams call home.
But why would a casual fan in New York, Chicago, or Philadelphia tune in?
What kind of overnight Nielson ratings will a game between the Birmingham Battalion and Memphis Bluesmen pull? (And before you start Googling, no, those aren't the team's actual nicknames. Yet).
I just assumed the Alliance's first eight teams would be scattered throughout the country, not mostly across the southern part of the map.
But, a friend of mine has a theory.
AAF founder Charlie Ebersol is the son of Dick Ebersol, who is BFF with Vince McMahon. McMahon, of course, is reviving the XFL, which is set to return in 2020.
Ron Montgomery, a buddy, CFL bon viveur and, like me, fan of fledgling leagues, thinks that perhaps the XFL and Alliance could eventually merge, suggesting it could be part of McMahon's "master plan."
As soon as the AAF was announced, he mentioned the ties between the Ebersol family and McMahon, and opined that maybe – just maybe – this is a first-phase launch.
In other words, McMahon will have a chance to see what goes right and wrong with his "competitor" in 2019, make adjustments to the XFL, and perhaps (I can't resist this) form an alliance with the Alliance.
If this is part of the master plan, as Ron suggests, I think we'll find out when McMahon (or newly-named XFL CEO Oliver Luck) reveals the circuit's eight franchises.
If you see, say, New York, Norfolk, Spokane and Chicago among the teams, then that might explain why the Alliance is so south-heavy.
Admittedly, this is all just a case of thinking out loud.
It could be that the Alliance brain trust is already looking ahead, and has plans for a four-team expansion to the northeast in 2020 in hopes of beating the XFL, not joining it.
Still, it's taking a gamble with being what amounts to a glorified "regional" league in its first season.
If the TV ratings tank, CBS will waste no time cutting ties.
The original XFL had a contract with NBC in 2001, but when people stopped watching the network pulled out, and the league folded after one season.
I hope that's not the case with the AAF.
My wish is that the rules will be so compelling (no kickoffs, 2-point conversions only, 30-second play clock) and the players good enough that football fans – regardless of where they live – will tune in.
If so, then the XFL will have to up its one-upmanship game in 2020, setting the stage for a spring league rivalry (if not possible merger down the road).
And if I was in marketing and the Alliance of American Football and XFL eventually combined, I'd call the new organization "Alliance X."

Q: integer factorization and cryptography i know that public key cryptography uses prime numbers,
also know that two large(e.g. 100 digit) prime numbers (P, Q)  are used as the private key,
the product is a public key N = P * Q,
and using prime numbers is because the factorization of N to obtain P , Q is sooo difficult and takes much time,
i'm ok with that, but i'm puzzled
why not just use any ordinary large non-prime numbers for P , Q
and so the factorization of N will be still difficult
because there would because now , there are not only 2 factors possible, but even more.
thanks....

A: I am not a crypto expert.

why not just use any ordinary large
  non-prime numbers for P , Q

Because there would be more factors. Integer factorization is an attack against public private key encryption. This attack exploits this very relation.
One could more easily find the relation and possible values with more common factors. It boils down to algebra.
N = P * Q
if P and Q are both Prime then N has 4 factors {N P Q 1}
However!
if P and Q both share a factor of 2
N / 4 = P / 2 * Q / 2
If N could have been 0..2^4096 it is now  0..2^4094 and since 2 was a factor another large number was also a factor.
This means that I could find a scalar multiple, P', Q' of P,Q S.T. P',Q' < P,Q
I don't fully understand the concept myself but I believe this shows where i'm going with this.
You have to search a smaller space until you brute force the key.

A: It is perfectly possible to use RSA with a modulus N that is composed of more than two prime factors P and Q, but two things have to be noted:

*

*You must know the exact value of all of these factors, or else you will be unable to derive the private key from the public key upon key generation. The equation for two-prime RSA is 1 = D*E (mod LCM(P-1,Q-1)). If you do know these prime factors, you can perform the calculation. If you don't know the prime factors you can't perform this calculation, which BTW is why it is safe to make the public key E,N public - you can't derive the private key D if you only have the information that is easily derived from the public key, unless you are able to factor N.

*The security of RSA is effectively bounded by the magnitude of the second largest prime factor of the RSA modulus N. Finding small prime factors that are less than 2^32 can be done in a fraction of a second on a modern computer, simply by trying to divide the modulus N by each such prime and check if the residue is zero (meaning N is divisible by that number) or not (meaning that number is not a factor of N). If N is composed of only such small prime factors times a single large prime factor Q, it would be trivial to find that Q as well, simply by dividing N by all small factors to get N' and test N' for primality. If N' is a prime, it is the last prime factor Q.

A: I'm not really expert in cryptology (so if I'm wrong just tell me in a comment, and I'll promptly delete this answer), but I think it's because if you just use random large numbers you may get easily factorisable ones (i.e. you don't have to get up to really large prime numbers to get their prime factors). So just really big, guaranteed-prime numbers are used.

Requirements to Be a Spanish Professor at a University
By Maya Black
Foreign Language Careers With an Associate's Degree
How Much Does a Philosophy Professor Make in a Year?
Faculty Jobs for an MBA
How to Be a Literature Professor
The Average Income and Pay Scale for a Math Professor
Spanish professors do much more than teach basic language skills. In a higher education setting, a Spanish professor fulfills the role of resident expert in the subject area, providing students with a broad base of knowledge necessary to engage the Spanish-speaking world. Spanish professors come from all backgrounds, their passion for Spanish language, literature and culture being the one thing they have in common.
Universities require faculty members to have completed a master's degree, at minimum, to be eligible for employment. If you wish to teach Spanish at the community college level, you may be able to find a job if you have a master's degree in Spanish or a master's degree in another subject and some coursework in Spanish at the graduate level. If you plan to teach at a university, you must have completed a doctoral degree program in Spanish to secure an assistant professorship, although exceptions may be made for part-time Spanish language instructors based on an institution's need.
Near-Native Fluency
Even if you learned enough Spanish to pass your undergraduate and graduate courses, Spanish professors must be able to speak the language with near-native or native fluency to be eligible for employment. If Spanish is not your first language, studying abroad in a Spanish-speaking country could advance your fluency. If study abroad programs don't appeal to you, seek employment in a Spanish-speaking country and spend six months to a year honing your speaking skills. Some prospective Spanish professors, for example, spend time in Spanish-speaking countries teaching English as a second language and develop near-native fluency by living among the people with whom they work.
Although Spanish language teaching experience is highly desirable, any university-level teaching experience helps you get your foot in the door if you speak Spanish and have the appropriate education credentials. If you are a former high school Spanish teacher, after you earn your master's or doctoral degree, you can leverage your experience teaching young adults to gain employment as a Spanish professor. Experience as a corporate or federal government foreign language trainer also qualifies you to teach Spanish at the college level.
Expert knowledge of past and present Spanish and Latin American literature, history and cultural trends could determine your job prospects and career path. If you plan to plant roots at a particular college or university and eventually gain tenure, your interest in research and writing must be apparent during the job interview. Above and beyond graduate program requirements such as your master's thesis or doctoral dissertation, be prepared to show interview panels peer-reviewed articles you've written and discuss any research and manuscripts you have in the works to get a leg up over your competition.

Hildegard of Bingen vs. Romanos the Melodist
Supreme Executive Committee on March 11, 2020 — 128 Comments
Only in Lent Madness will you find a 12th century mystic facing off against a 6th century hymn writer. Well, maybe you can find a matchup between the likes of Hildegard of Bingen and Romanos the Melodist elsewhere in the world. But we're dubious.
In yesterday's Biblical battle, Bartimaeus saw his way past Jude 54% to 46%. He'll face the winner of Joanna the Myrrhbearer vs. Junia in the Saintly Sixteen.
Did you know that at the 2020 Rooted in Jesus conference in Atlanta, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church Michael Curry made his Lent Madness predictions? You can hear what he had to say as part of his Way of Love podcast in his conversation with Lent Madness creator Tim Schenck by clicking here. While we encourage you to listen to the entire 17 1/2 minutes, the Lent Madness conversation starts at minute 10.
Hildegard of Bingen
Hildegard was born in 1098 in the Rhineland Valley and later wrote that she began experiencing visions of God as a child. When Hildegard was eight years old, her parents placed her under the care of Jutta, an anchoress, and she became part of a growing community of religious women attached to the male Benedictine monastery at Disibodenberg. Upon Jutta's death in 1136, Hildegard was elected as magistra of the growing community of women, whereupon she pressed the head of the Benedictine monastery to allow her community to form a new monastery in Bingen. Despite initial objections, Hildegard ultimately founded St. Rupertsberg monastery in Bingen in 1150 and later a second monastery in Eibingen in 1165.
When Hildegard died in 1179, she left behind three volumes of visionary theology, including her most well-known theological work, Scivias, as well as soaring liturgical compositions and the morality play Ordo Virtutum. Her 400 letters represent one of the largest collections to survive from this period, and her other writings include sermons from four preaching tours, volumes on natural medicine derived from her gardening and healing practice, an invented language, gospel commentary, and many more minor works.
Reviewing the various short biographies on Hildegard, it is apparent that she had a gift for getting what she and her community needed despite the ecclesiastical restrictions of her time. When Hildegard asked for permission to found a monastery in Bingen, she had already laid the groundwork with the Archbishop of Mainz. Later, Hildegard became famous when a papal blessing for a portion of Scivias was construed as papal approval for the wide range of her theological work. Was this an accident or an example of being as wise as serpents, innocent as doves? Either way, it was a milestone in clearing the pathway for Hildegard to become a much sought-after theologian, spiritual advisor, and preacher across northern Europe.
Much more could be said about Hildegard, including her theological notion of viriditas or "greenness," her understanding of medicine as a form of gardening, and the uniqueness of her liturgical music, but what stands out is her visionary leadership in a time when this was very difficult to achieve.
Collect for Hildegard
God of all times and seasons: Give us grace that we, after the example of your servant Hildegard, may both know and make known the joy and jubilation of being part of your creation, and show forth your glory in the world; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
—Miguel Escobar
Romanos the Melodist
Saint Romanos the Melodist wrote hymns during the sixth century, the golden age of Byzantine hymnography. Most biographical information about him comes from the Menaion, a liturgical book of fixed-date propers in the Eastern Orthodox Church. He is believed to have been born to a Jewish family in Syria and was baptized Christian as a young boy. Later he was ordained a deacon in Beirut, then moved to Constantinople to serve as the sacristan at the Hagia Sophia.
The most important legend about Romanos revolves around a vision of Mary and is indeed the origin story for a whole category of music in the Eastern Orthodox church: the Kontakion. The story goes that Romanos began as a lousy singer and reader of the liturgy, and his fellow clergymen made fun of him. Once, after reading from the psalter, he was so ashamed that he put his head down and fell asleep in the church. Mary visited him in a dream and commanded him to eat a scroll she held in her hand. When he awoke, he went to the pulpit and chanted the hymn for which he is best known, the Kontakion of the Nativity, which is largely a dialogue between the Mother of God and the Magi. The beauty of his singing and the wisdom of the theological lyrics moved all.
Romanos wrote his hymns in Greek, and they are renowned for their linguistic beauty and sophisticated style. Although he is believed to have written more than a thousand hymns, only sixty to eighty are still in existence—and not all of those can be verified as his compositions. Rather than esoteric theologies, the hymns are in language accessible to the laity, and they address the pastoral concerns of the average person, making beautiful and accessible the mysteries of the Christian faith. They celebrate feasts and holy other days as well as saints' lives and biblical themes. In addition to the nativity, his other notable works include the Last Judgment, the betrayal of Judas, and the martyrdom of Saint Stephen.
He is remembered on October 1 alongside the feast day of the Protection of the Mother of God in the Orthodox Church and is the patron saint of liturgical singers.
Collect for Romanos
O God, whom saints and angels delight to worship in heaven: Be ever present with your servants like Romanus the Melodist who seek through art and music to perfect the praises offered by your people on earth; and grant to them even now glimpses of your beauty, and make them worthy at length to behold it unveiled for evermore; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hildegard of Bingen was one of the most prolific composers of sa red music — indeed of any music — the medieval period. I voted for her because of her music.

Brixham Beth
This is rather hard on Romanos, any other day he would be my choice, but Hildegard has so many attributes as well as being a powerful woman at a time when women were more usually seen as chattels, that she has won today.
Veriditas! Greenness! Spring, spiritual and physical health! I would vote for Hildegard anytime but especially now! PS am playing a Hildegard CD as I type…guess this vote was a foregone conclusion…
It's too bad they didn't go into detail. She was the first to document the use of Hops in brewing beer. Prior to that, a hops "tea" was used to clean out brewing equipment as it's a natural anti-septic/preservative. From what I've read she also scientifically described several types of V.D. Very interesting lady.

I had not known of Romanos until today. So I voted for Hildegard, but I purchased Romanos!
I agree! Both of them contributed to liturgy and music in unique ways. I voted for Hildegard, but really wished that Romanos could have appeared on another day, so I could vote for him, too.
Ven. Neil
Pecorino Romano's my favourite cheese. So, instead of an uppity woman, it's the melodist that gets my vote.
an uppity woman?
Betsy H
Among many attributes, Hildegard could be considered uppity. Nasty, too. And she persisted!
And she got my vote, although I do appreciate learning about Romanos, I too am ashamed of my singing voice.
Rene Jamieson
I know what you mean about being ashamed of one's singing voice, Betsy H. I maintain that I am the only person of Welsh heritage who cannot carry a tune – even in a bucket! (Where is Our Lady with that scroll when I need her?) However, I still raise my voice to make a joyful noise unto the Lord, because, as the old rhyme teaches us, "All God's children belong in the choir. Some sing low, some sing higher. Some sing like crows on a telephone wire, but all God's children belong in the choir."
Mary-Beth Esser
Some just clap their hands or paws or anything they got…
Priscilla Szerdi
I have trouble carrying a tune also, but over the last few years decided to sing out anyway. Thank you for putting in the old rhyme. I don't think I have heard it quite this way. I am in sympathy with Ramanos! He will probably get my vote.
Linda Meisner
Thank you for questioning!!
Uppity? That's a biased description of behavior that would be socially acceptable in a man. Hildegard accomplished much, especially considering the time and place. Acknowledge it, but don't belittle it with a sexist comment.
Jennie Lou Reid
I am glad to meet Romanos and will try to find some of his hymn texts. I like that they make theology accessible to the laity. However, I had to vote for Hildegard, a female leader & preacher.
Got to give it to Hildegard for her work in leading, writing, and gardening.
This past Sunday I spotted a campaign sign in the garden of my church, and more signs decorated every table. The choir, our priest, and many of the congregation were wearing pins stating Vote for Hildegard of Bingen on March 11. These were the work of a member of the choir who was paying people $1 to wear the pin. I've had one of the signs hanging on my office wall all week and John – I just cast my vote for the composer of the offertory hymn we sang. Team Hildy all the way!
St. Celia
[I hate to see "ballot stuffing" this early in the bracket (perhaps pray for people who wear the pins? offer them a vision? bake "Bingen buns" for them?), but I hope that translates to genuine enthusiasm for this great saint, and I hope she takes the hal0.]
Richard the Chalice Bearer
She's my choice.
Tessa Lucero
Nothing wrong with exhorting people to consider your chosen candidate, though I'm not sure about paying people to wear campaign signs. The problem is stuffing the ballot box which the Supreme Executive Committee seems fairly good at detecting.

In my partially open morning eyes, my first thought he was "the Methodist."
Lucy Porter
Me too! (Possibly because I am a Methodist.)
I find hymn singing to be one of the best ways to feel closer to God, and I have been a long-time fan of Hildegard's music, although I knew little about her other accomplishments. Now I'm interested in hearing some of Romanos' music as well. He seems to have been a very accomplished musician and used his compositions to reach out to the laity and share his love in Jesus. I was listening to a Bible study podcast last night about Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, and they said she was a perfect model for the Jesus Movement Bishop Curry is so enthusiastic about. I place Romanos in that category, now, as well. But Hildegard's accomplishments are so diverse and so remarkable for a 12th Century woman, I have to vote for her. But I will be listening to beautiful music from both today.
Kappa Waugh
You had me at "invented a language" and "joy & jubilation."
Yes! "Invented a language" tugged at me as well. (I'm trying to write one of my own for a fantasy fiction novel I've been working on near 2 decades! It's NOT easy! Mine probably won't compare with hers and certainly not with the ones my literary hero and linguist Tolkien wrote!)
Anne Maddden
I just want to thank everyone for Lent Madness and the fun of reading these comments every day. I am already dreading when it is over! What a lovely way to begin each day, realizing what clouds of witnesses we really do have around us, and how blessed we are!
Patricia Gordon
Me, too, Anne – you said it much more eloquently than I. Thank you for this comment. Definitely "like!"
Katharine KW
It really is hard to struggle through when Lent Madness is over, and you expressed it beautifully, Anne!
Michelle C
I agree. I love the bloggers entries but I look forward to the comments as well. Maybe even more.
Richard Jonathan Adams
The voting will be lopsided in this match up, but both are deserving. The church is deeply in debt to music and the other fine arts for their singular ability to bring us to experience a loving realm of fullness and empathy beyond legal propositions and doctrine.
Hard choice, but knowing two different cats named after Hildegard I had to go with her.
Karen Sculley
A very tough choice for me, as my favorite aunt is Hildegard and my son and his girlfriend are devout Orthodox believers 🙂 I have admired and been inspired by Hildegard of Bingen for many years (drawn to study her life because of my aunt), but went with Romanos today, because he wrote "in language accessible to the laity," [addressing] "the pastoral concerns of the average person, making beautiful and accessible the mysteries of the Christian faith." I just added a lot of variety to my main, very eclectic Pandora station so I can more regularly hear the various Kontakia sung today (I love rock 'n' roll AND Orthodox chants!)
Elaine Culver
Thank you for mentioning Pandora. I, too, love rock 'n' roll, as well as Kontakia, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and other varied music and musicians, so I'll add Romanos to my Pandora station.
ellie tupper
On another day I would have voted for Romanos -I can relate to being an enthusiastic yet lousy singer. But after hearing this years ago, it's always been Hildegarde for me: her O Viridissima Virga in a haunting, very modern setting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEhv3pUyy_s. She is supposed to have written some of the most difficult music for female voices.
Verdery Kassebaum
Just listened to the youtube link. Wow! I had heard of Hildegarde but not heard her music. Thank you for posting the link.
I, too, can relate to not having the voice I'd like to have, since I have pretty good pitch but not much range. I pray that God will let allow me to become a coloratura in heaven. Still, I voted for Hildegard, but I'll add Romanos to my Pandora station. Kudos to him for writing music accessible to us regular folks.
You caused me to go to the YouTube, lovely. I've subscribed so I will return to listen to more. Thank you.
Love them both, but I've loved Hildegard longer, so she gets my vote.
John B Blackwood
I admire them both but I've got to go with the female, who was active in her faith when it wasn't easy (in those times) for a female to be much of anything.
HILDEGARD: she is one of the most amazing figures in all of church history. That she could flower as a woman and a person of some authority in the early medieval church, an abbess, and now a DOCTOR of the church, indicates her acumen and her deep spirituality. In one of her visions she saw the world as a hazelnut lying in the palm of her hand. In my mind this parallels the Magdalene holding the egg in her hand. Both miraculous images are earthy, concrete, and available to all. Hildegard demonstrates how mysticism has a political valence: she throve within a masculinist hierarchy. I am also fascinated by how early monasteries held so many children; Benedict's Rule includes chapters on managing the children who were left with them. Monasteries may have been secluded environments, but they were deeply connected to the world. Childrearing was only one of the tasks the brothers conducted as part of their heavenward journey. Later convents may have been more restrictive and world-renouncing, but Benedictine groups in this early medieval period were a form of city-building and community-gathering. I can't presently think of anyone as exciting as Hildegard until the Beguines and Beghards in the 14th century. Go Hildegard.
I love you, Celia, but wasn't that Julian of Norwich who saw the hazelnut in her palm?
[Does frantic Internet search.] Gasp! This is why the lack of an "edit" button is cruelty. Some of us ordinary bozos on this spinning bus can't go back and fix our errors. You know, I truly did "double check" that this morning (my body says it's still 4 am!) but clearly missed a key detail. You are correct, and this is why I will never be a Doctor of the Church. (Weeps into soiled halo.) Thanks, Richard. Good catch.
A fine catch, indeed; I am always overwhelmed by your intelligence and way with words. You're not alone, everyone at work still seems to be reeling from losing an hour.
Thanks for clearing that up. Found searching for "walnut visions" doesn't do it but now I've got the right nut AND Saint. Still find it a good intersection between religion and science in light of the Big Bang theory
Marian the Lutheran
Hildegarde would be a remarkable *person* in any century, not just the 12th abs bit just as a woman.
Sylvia, Johanna & Lucia Miller-Mutia
Today was the hardest vote yet
which saint should our allegiance get?
we chose Hildegard as the winner
at age eight she was a beginner
with Jutta the sister
Pope didn't resist her
she wrote sermon and song
she brought people along
they all sang together
in all kinds of weather
and that's why we gave her our vote
Hildegard sends you celestial thanks
from the foremost of the heavenly ranks.
She hopes you can hear the mellifluous spheres
as they play you choral music throughout your years.
Perhaps at school and work you hear angels touch the ondes
and voices singing your names as you make your daily rounds.
I am loving your poems. Thanks.
Amanda Williams
I voted Romanos. Like Moses, he offered his imperfect self to God's work, in spite of his lack of talent. He worked and prayed. God loves all of us who are awkward and tone deaf, right along with our more gifted brothers and sisters.
Maybe this year's final round will set the "awkward, tone-deaf" musician against the clumsy brother who broke all the dishes. Will that round honor all the ordinary bozos on this world's spinning bus, or will it be Abbott and Costello? We shall see!
Oh, St. Celia I love reading your comments! And I would absolutely love it if the awkward, tone-deaf musician ended up against the clumsy dish-breaking brother!
OK, so I went online and listened to a couple of hymns from each. Not what one would call an exhaustive comparison, but enough to get the feel of them both. As gorgeous as Hildegard's music is, Romanos seems to have written hymns that could comfortably be sung by a "regular" church choir and congregation, such as the one to which I belong.
So Romanos it is, at least this time.
Ruth Douglas Miller
This one convinces me. And Hildegard has been in Lent Madness before, and gotten fairly well along. At least some of her illustrated visions have been diagnosed by Oliver Sachs (has training) and my husband (suffers from) as migraine auras. But still, I would like to hear more about Romanos. Plus he's Lebanese, like a good friend of ours.
Beth Crane
This is my first time voting, and I was inspired to vote for Romanos. I admire Hildegaard and am awestruck by her accomplishments (and I have all her hit records!) but when we adopted our son Roman from Russia, I got to know Mother Anastasia, a nun at a tiny Russian Orthodox Monastery in Richford, VT. Mother Anastasia took a great interest in Roman. She told me the story of St. Romanos and gave Ro a cross and an icon of his name saint. In memory of St. Anastasia and her kindness – here's to St. Romanos.
TJMannion
Romanos for the win. Music of liturgical grace speaks to all, sorry Hildy. Theology is for the learned primarily. Romanos speaks (and sings) to all.
Evelyn Czaja
I'm an Orthodox Christian and St. Romanos is a very important saint in our life…music is the life of the Orthodox Church. The Kontakion is a very important hymn every Sunday and it changes seasonally. Too bad he is up against Hildegard but nonetheless, my vote is for our pal, St. Romanos!
It's not fair to put two musicians/composers together in the first round! It was an easy decision for me, as I first met Hildegard in the course on Christian mysticism which was my first seminary course. I did not know at first that she was also a musician and a physician (using the products of her garden as medicine), as well as a preacher! When my husband and I were introduced to her music at a retreat, we immediately decided to add her to our list of composers for our "Three B's and Beyond" program (of music by composers whose surnames begin with B). He now plays one of her compositions on the organ. All that said, I could not vote for anyone pitted against her!
Lee Greenawalt
The large volume of Hildegard's writings make her influence great, But I identify with Romanos, as my strong voice was off key and a detriment to worship until at age 22, I was befriended by a pianist who saw a tune in me. During the last 50 years, many people have expressed inspiration at my amateur but expressive voice.
SharonDianneFosterPattison
I know as a woman I should be voting for her, but, as a bad singer and love of music, I think you know where my vote went, too try to sing with full volume, with, I am sure is a distress to those around me, but that is the voice Gad gave to me and I will use it! I am I good, speaker, mostly impromptu. Subject,s of any level not needing to study for hours, just odd the top of my head. So to speak! While in High school I won many Oratory awards, mostly due to my impromptu subjects,!
The secret, is to keep you finger where you are if, given a text, and to make eye co tact always with your listeners!
Look out and pretend they are all naked and they are more embarrassment than you in the speaking pulpit! For those out there, never be afraid to use your voice when you are called!
Some music from each to help us choose:
Romanos the Melodist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHpP0V7F-TI
Hildegard of Bingen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8MGiPo5IxU
Linda MacDonald
I thought I would choose Hildegard, for her many attributes and having been so influential in a period of time when women were so hugely discounted. However, I love Eastern Orthodox chant and the story of Romanos the Melodist really caught me by the heart! He likely has not chance against Hildegard, but I voted my heart this time, and not my head.
Katrina S Soto
I love learning so much here. I only knew Hildy as the writer of music that I find soothing and meditative. It is good to learn of her wide range of accomplishments.
I think they are both holy.
so it was hard.
Judging from the comments here, it's a pretty safe bet that Hildegard will be today's winner, even though autocorrect does not recognize her name. 😉 However, I am voting for Romanos. Autocorrect doesn't recognize him, either. I am a church choir member. Romanos' spiritual awakening and composition suggests to me that God spoke directly to him to create music for the masses to be able to sing. I often feel closest to God when singing. Finally, Romanos' collect very closely resembles the prayer with which my choir begins every rehearsal. Romanos for me today.
Kit Decker
As an Episcopal chorister I feel compelled to vote for the "patron saint of liturgical singers" although I've always held Hildegard in awe for her music and many talents
As someone who doesn't sing unless I can absolutely help it, I feel very drawn to Romanos. However, I have loved and admired Hildegarde for many years; her achievements given the time in which lived were extraordinary. I may not sing, but I can garden, and I do preach, so my vote goes to Hildegarde.
Joanne B. Parrott
Spring has sprung, the green grass is risen, to Hildegard my vote is given.
As Hildegard's feast day is my birthday, I had no other choice but to vote for her.
Debby Hutchins
I voted for Hildegard. I recommend a book that I just read God's Hotel by Victoria Sweet, MD. She practiced medicine at an alms hospital in California and much of the book and her story include references to Hildegard. It is a wonderful book that will make you think a great deal about how parts of our society are treated today.
thanks for the book recommendation – added to Goodreads!
While I've long been a fan of Hildegard (I continue to marvel at so many women who excelled in ancient times when all the odds were against them), but music, hymns, and singing have always made me feel closer to god. I admired Romanos for his determination. Despite his failings as a singer and liturgy reader, he persevered by writing hymns and making God available to all of the people. He gets my vote today!
I enjoyed learning about Romanos the Melodist. I love the music of the church and have sung in choirs since I was in the Men and Boys Choir as a child. I continue to sing in community choral groups and feel very close to the Lord when, as a priest, I chant the Mass. I love chanting and singing daily Morning and Evening Prayer. Hildegard has a special place in God's kingdom. I have been aware of her many accomplishments and her knowledge, experience, visions, writing, music, and extensive influence she had in the world. She is a truly remarkable person. I enjoy listening to her music which is uniquely spiritual, meditative, contemplative, relaxing, and heavenly. Her scientific and knowledge of herbology is interesting.
I forgot to add that I had to vote for Hildegard.
I am in the choir at my church, and singing to God feeds my soul. Romanos, patron saint of liturgical singers, gets my vote today!
For those who are curious, here is a page where English translations of some of Romanos's lyrics can be read: http://www.orthodox.net/gleanings/kontakia_of_romanos.html
Linda S
I am excited to learn about these two saints and, better yet – their music is available. It's a remarkable thing to catch a glimpse of our ancient church mothers' and fathers' expression of faith.
Another Lent Madness win!
Carol Buckalew
Would that Mary would feed a scroll to all lay readers – not for singing, just for good and accurate reading of the lessons. I voted for Romanos but it was a hard choice.
Carol Buckalew, I, too,wish Mary would feed that scroll to all lectors. How often have congregations suffered through readings of the letter to the Galoshians (they were the people who lived on the flood plain), or Paul's letter to the Phillipines (who knew he got that far in his travels?), and the Pentecost reading from Acts 2:1-13!
Don't forget "two Corinthians." (They walked into a bar.)
Susan Lee Hauser
Omigosh How about the exhortation to "Prophecy! And again I say, Prophecy"!
Derrick Z.
The main reason NOT to vote for Hildegard is because her writings contain homophobic garbage that she claimed was given to her by God. This taints anything good she may have done. If all of God's children, LGBTQ people included, are not viewed with love and respect, than she's not a saint worth voting for.
Can you give an example or cite a passage if you don't want to repeat it?
In Scivias, Book II Vision 6, she quotes God as condemning same sex intercourse, including lesbianism: "A woman who takes up devilish ways and takes a male role in coupling with another woman is most vile in My sight and so is she who subjects herself to such a one in this evil deed."
I'm not excusing the passage, but I do wonder how a child apprenticed to an anchorite at eight years old finds out such things.
Ooh, good question, St. C!
As I recall, Benedict's Rule has boys and men sleeping alternately in their beds in communal rooms. I wonder if there isn't a certain pro forma (if lurid) quality in some of these exhortations.
Hildegard of Bingen and Romanos the Melodist are evenly matched, but I voted for Hildegard just so I could boast of having backed at winner, finally.
Arthur Turfa
A togh choice. The German in me swayed me toward Hildegard, but I admire Orthodoxy. The writer in my appreicated both of them and their accomplishments.
Today's contest was not a major struggle for me, having loved and revered Hildegard of Bingen since my childhood. I admire her for her common sense, no-nonsense approach to life, her deep and abiding faith, and because of her achievements – which are remarkable for any one in any era, but especially so for a woman of her time. Having cast my vote, I will now sally forth into the cold to walk the two blocks to Hildegard's Bakery and Cafe for fair trade coffee and a sourdough bun.
Anne E.B.
Go Hildy Go!
Despite many connections with Hildegard—medicinal gardening?! writing a language?! writing sermons, stories, songs and a play?! her fortitude and leadership and persistence?!—it was Romanos with whom I found myself resonating more today. Because of the song, arts, theology and "for the lay people" aspects. So this "mimegirl" with her MAT in Arts Theology voted for the Melodist today.
However, unless we see a dramatic upset, it looks like Hildegard will be the one to move on. In which case, looking ahead, I do foresee myself voting for her in the next rounds (until she would come up against Brother Lawrence and then I'd have a hard choice again)!
I am always impressed with those who get things done in spite of entrenched traditions. Her wide range of interests and accomplishments in a male dominated society was impressive.
Melani Tutt
Hildegard Hops Heavenly
Robert Coates
I voted for Hildegarde. I am still not over Evelyn Underhill being eliminated, but at least one great female mystic can move forward in this competition. Evelyn quoted extensively from Hildegarde.
James N Lodwick
An impossible matchup and an ag9onizing choice! Hildegard was absolutely brilliant as well as deeply devout of course and left behind a great legacy of letters and writings and music. Nevertheless, I voted for Romanos the Melode, partly because I knew he would be the underdog in this contest, but even more because I love the beauty and piety of his hymns. I wish that all the 1000 or more that he wrote had survived.
Both are worthy, and I hope that the next edition of the Episcopal Hymnal might include a contribution from either or both of them. I just went through the index of composers and sources for the 1982 edition and can't spot anything by either, though I may have missed an attribution.
Claire from Quincy, MA
A song for healthy habits in our anxious times, to the tune of "Tis a Gift to be Simple":
'Tis a gift to be healthy, tis a gift to be clean
'Tis a gift to practice proper hand hygiene
So scrub your hands with soap
Longer than you think
And use paper towels
When you turn off the sink!". (repeat)
This was shared with me by a Unitarian Universalist friend. Song credits: Rev. Julie Hamilton, Stacey Stone and Claire Weichselbaum
It seems undebatable that Hildegard is the more remarkable figure, her accomplishments are so varied: mystic, herbalist-healer, preacher, theologian, composer. Yet I voted for Romanos because he is the patron saint of liturgical singers. Having sung in church choirs the better part of my life, I feel a kinship there. Hildegard's reputation won't be dampened by sharing a bit of musical notoriety with Romanos.
Having been baptized as a Russian Orthodox and having gone to church with my Dad , who sang in the choir, I find the music very moving. Romanos got my vote today.
So much of our theology is shaped by our hymns, whether we realize it or not. With great admiration for Hildegard (from a fellow preacher), I give today's nod to a writer of hymns that guides the faithful in the pews in their beliefs and living out those beliefs.

"Your light never leaves me and burns in my soul", it was this quote that introduced me to Hildegard. Now, as I drink my lungwort tea, grown in my garden, all thanks to Hildegard, she has my vote.
I voted for Hildegard. I have been fascinated by her for a long time. Years ago, I went to a weekend retreat on her in N.C. I also have several books about her. I also have a book written by Mary Sharratt called "Illuminations" (https://www.amazon.com/Illuminations-Novel-Hildegard-von-Bingen/dp/0544106539). It's very illuminating!
Lisa Leadley
Romanos got my vote today because I see in his love of liturgical music the same sense of wonder some of the newer Episcopalians in my Bell Choir have towards our ringing ministry
As a member of our church choir, I'm voting for Romanos. "He who sings, prays twice." I find that singing a hymn is a wonderful (and easy) way for me to praise God, or to feel comforted. Sometimes I struggle to find the words to say a prayer, but then I can usually think of an appropriate hymn to express what I want to say.
Correction: "To sing is to pray twice." – St. Augustine
Voting for Romanos, as he is new to us, and we just finished eating our dinner of Parmesan and black pepper ravioli with meat sauce. Wish we could vote for both, as they're worthy to move forward.
I really thought I would vote for Hildegard; I have long felt a kinship with my fellow singer of ancient times. Yet now I find there is another singer who is even more ancient. I love the story of Romanos' falling asleep with shame at his caterwauling in church! Haven't all of us singers had moments when we wish the sanctuary floor would open up and swallow us! How sad that so many of his melodies are lost to us. They echo somewhere out in space, and it gives me chills to imagine them. Against my own expectations, I have voted for the Kantakion. It wouldn't be Holy Week without it. Thank you, Brother Romanos!
Thank you for your faithful witness to song itself.
I'm right there with you, Susan! I was sure I would be voting for Hildegard and had never heard of Romanos, but his story is compelling and his music is beautiful. Moreover, I teach elementary school music, which means a constant struggle to teach small children to match pitch (which gets harder every year as parents increasingly neglect their sacred duty to sing with their children). I would welcome Mary's visit to one of my current 2nd grade classes with some of those scrolls!
Scientist, mystic, doctor of the church
Hildegard's plainchant grew from her research:
Like Ordo Virtutum
No one could dispute 'em;
So let her legacy no-one besmirch.
Amy J ParkerClayton
I empathize with Romanos' difficulty with pitch! I suffer feom a similar difficulty. My beloved church musician admonished me to sing fully to God; despite what my pew .ates think. I do!
But Hildegard's use of natural medicine from her garden inspires me. I am completing my UC extension Master Gardener training and look forward to following in her footsteps.
I read a novel based on her life, and saw a performance of her Ordo Vertutim. I admired her so much that I named my car Hilda, after her. I voted for her, but I will look up Romano's hymns.
Edwin Cooley
The information about Romanos referenced that he worked at Hagia Sophia for a time. That reminded me of this piece on NPR from February 22 Morning Edition about the amazing sound qualities of the Hagia Sophia. Here's a link to the piece. Worth a listen. And this is why I voted for Romanos!

I know it's too late, but I like this quote:
"Perhaps most appealing, in a world dominated by men, and despite all of her apparent strengths, Hildegard expressed the vulnerability of a delicate and fragile nature."
https://healthyhildegard.com/hildegard-of-bingen-biography/
Hildegard gets my vote today
Foster Eich
Again a difficult choice. BUT
Hildegard was a renaissance woman long before the renaissance. She:
Was the first published woman physician. Her textbook of medicine was the standard for 200 years.
Wrote an authoritative book on "Natural History" (i.e., biology, geography, etc.)
Saw amazing visions.
Designed a sewer system for her convent. It is still in use after 800 years.
Composed music for the liturgy.
Argued with (and sometimes scolded) archbishops, popes, and emperors–and prevailed!
Since I am a physician and a priest, I voted for her!
I am also a member of the Society of Ordained Scientists. She should be one of our patrons!

When I started my foundry career in 1984 I could not have imagined that our industry would possibly change as much as it has in just 30 years. The stories my father told me about how and why my grandfather started our company in the middle of World War II, and the stories he told me about his own 42-year career compared to my experiences, versus the stories my son tells me now about his foundry participation, all seem to be so conflicted. We certainly cannot be describing the same industry.
In fact we are not. In 1984 there were approximately 6,200 metalcasting facilities in the U.S.; today there are fewer than 2,000. Not many industries could have sustained a 67% reduction in manufacturing facilities and remained an important and relevant sector of the American economy, as the foundry industry has done. We could not have accomplished this without changing, and I mean a lot of changes in the way we approach, maintain, and conduct our businesses.
Today's American foundries are cleaner, leaner and more efficient facilities than at any time in history. We now produce castings that were only dreamed of in past years, in alloys that were only recently discovered, converting weldments to award-winning components that provide casting buyers with un-paralleled quality and value.
American foundry owners are still mainly considered to be "small" businessmen and women, but they have very big ideas, considerable responsibilities, and major headaches!
American foundrymen and woman are more educated in a broader range of disciplines than ever before, and there is an increasing need for an even more varied education and comprehensive expertise.
American foundry suppliers are more technically competent, more educated, more nimble, more diverse, and more "in-tune" with global foundry dynamics than ever before. Suppliers must be logistical geniuses to compete in this global foundry market. New minerals, chemicals, equipment and techniques are being developed daily, so that American foundries can maintain their competitive standing in the global market.
Our industry is no longer the leader in tons of castings produced annually, but we remain well ahead of our competitors in terms of the quality of the castings we produce and the innovations we foster in products and processes.
The Casting Industry Suppliers Association has had to change, too. CISA now provides its members a significant opportunity for learning. We engage topics like the effect that the energy sector — "fracking" of oil and gas reserves — has had on the price and availability of silica sand. The most abundant mineral in the earth's crust is not always available in the grades that foundries require, nor at a price they can afford. We have discussed how suppliers can help their foundry customers adapt new molding and core media that will keep them competitive for the future.
