An insider's guide to Topkapi Palace Museum
Topkapi Palace's history is vibrant. The building served as the residential, administrative, educational and cultural building of the Ottoman sultans for nearly 400 of their 624 reigning years. Today it doubles as the Topkapi Palace museum.
While You Buy Your Tickets…
Be sure to notice the Fountain of the Executioner next to the ticket windows before you head in. This is where the executioner would wash his hand and sword after a decapitation.
Visit the Topkapi Palace harem
This impressive building of hundreds of rooms where the sultan and his family lived has been restored in lush ornate fashion. It's a separate ticket, but definitely worth it.
Topkapi Palace Jewels
The Topkapi Palace diamond is the pride of the palace. The riches in the Treasury are not purely aesthetics, they make up the complex Topkapi Palace history.
Topkapi Palace Relics
Relics from the Prophet Mohammed and Moses, among others, are collectively called the Sacred Trusts.
How long to spend
You'll need at least half a day to explore the palace, but make a whole day out of it to really take it all in. Try to arrive at opening to avoid the crowds!
Our insider tips
Obey the Dress Code
You'll get denied entrance to the Sacred Relics Department if you're showing some skin. No shorts, short skirts or sleeveless shirts are permitted. It is the holiest section of Topkapi Palace, Turkey.
Orient yourself
Along with the harem section, Topkapi Palace, Istanbul houses four courtyards or "avlu." Shade or eateries for resting aren't too hard to find. There's a café and a restaurant in the first courtyard, a second café in the third courtyard, and a second restaurant in the fourth.
When should I visit?
Open Wednesday through Monday. October 26 - April 15, 9:00AM to 4:45PM. April 15 - October 26, 9:00AM to 6:45PM.
Is it expensive?
Museum tickets start at 30TL (about $11), Harem tickets start at 15TL (about $5) and continue up with perks and tours.
Will I need a guide?
A guide will definitely add to the experience! Audio guides are also available for rent at the palace.
Take the tram to the Gülhane or Sultanahmet stations, or the Marmaray to the Sirkeci Station. It's a short walk from any station.
Cloths can be provided by onsite staff if you need to cover up during your visit to the Sacred Relics Department.
Stroller and photography are not permitted inside, so please plan ahead.
What people are saying about Topkapi Palace
A perfect introduction to an amazing city, Istanbul
This was my first time in Istanbul, so having two days with a guide was essential for understanding this amazing city and its history. On my own I could not have found my way to so many places, or learned so much. Saban Sezer was an excellent guide; I always have questions to ask that many visitors would not, as I am interested in Islamic architecture and as I live in Egypt and am interested in how in the past Turkish traditions have transferred to Egypt, Saban was patient with my questions and with me wanting to spend longer in some places that interested me. He gave information even about places you don't have time to visit in your first two days, places we just passed on the cruise, and that makes me want to return for more exploring of Istanbul.

Although a bit expensive, I enjoyed the 3 hours of the tour
The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. He guided us through the palace, explaining major details and even interesting side stories related with the palace. He did not seem to rush us and took the time to explain what we should visit and answer any questions the group had. If you want to know more about the palace and its history, I recommend this tour. Although a bit expensive, I believe it is about right in terms of price/quality, as you would be paying around 10£ per hour + tickets. You also have the perk of skipping any queue (in our case there was none because we started early.

Perfectly on time, comprehensive of the tops attractions of the Palace
I did not want to book a tour over 2 hours as I like to get info about what I am visiting but at the same time I like to have time for me to explore what I liked most during the explanations. I would suggest to add two options, one excluding the Harem and one including it. I paid for it but of course it was already clear to me that it was not included in the tour. Guide started the tour perfectly on time, he was friendly and provided clear explanations. I think the tour is a good balance for those that want to get tips on the attractions but do not want to join an half day tour.

The sites you see are pretty darn awesome
We had a great time with the tour, there where a few areas of knowledge the tour guide seemed a bit lacking (maybe we was the first to ask those questions! Or maybe a misunderstanding) but was courteous and professional and in general enjoyed every moment of it. However it would of been nice to have more of a tour of the bazar than left in it but still I feel it was value for money and would do again also the fast track was incredibly convent.

1. You will have to download the Motion app from the Google Play Store to start capturing stop motion videos. The app is around 15 MB in size and it's available for free with a few in-app purchases, so you can get it with ease.
2. When you first open the app, you will be welcomed straight by the bland home page of the app. Here, tap on the "+" icon at the top right to start creating new projects. Then, you will be taken straight to the photo capturing screen, where you should tap on the camera icon at the bottom right to begin capturing frames.
3. The camera viewfinder screen will start up and you can capture frames in the landscape mode. You can capture a number of different frames that you want for the stop motion video. Once captured, press the tick button.
4. Once done, you will see the frames you have captured. Here, you can remove a frame, press the play button to see the stop motion video or press the camera icon to add more frames. You can also press on the clock icon to set the speed/frame rate of the video. You can set it up to 50 frames per second. To get the stop motion video (360p) on your device, just hit the download icon at the top right.
PicPac is a highly popular stop motion capturing app on Android and some would even say that it's better than the Motion app we detailed above. It brings features like the ability to take photos or get them from your device's Gallery, Instagram account or you can even add videos from your device to break it down into pictures. Moreover, you can add your voice or music to the stop motion videos. While there's a free version of the app available, the Pro version brings the ability to create videos in up to 1080p resolution and more.
Along with stop motion videos, PicPac also lets you create time-lapse videos and GIFs. While we certainly appreciate the number of features it brings, the app did not perform too well for us. There were regular crashes and hang ups but it might be device specific, so try out the app for yourself.
The Stop Motion Studio app brings a plethora of features aimed at making you a master at stop motion videos. The app brings you different modes like overlay mode, grid mode, cinema mode and square mode. It also features an integrated video editor, themes and more customization features to make sure your videos look amazing. It also packs in features like Green screen, where you can easily change the background of the videos. You can export the created stop motion video in up to 4K resolution or as a GIF as well.
Well, to be honest, the Stop Motion Studio app packs in so many features that we can't just tell them all here, so check out the app. The features are certainly impressive but when it comes to performance, the app was pretty slow and we faced a number of crashes. Well, you should still give it a shot if you are looking for a stop motion app with tons of features.
Ready to create some awesome stop motion videos on Android?
As you might have noticed, the PicPac and Studio Motion app do bring in a lot of features but they lack the speedy performance and simplicity that Motion offers. The Motion app might be limited but it captures and creates stop motion videos like a charm. To sum things up, it just works. So, install the Motion app and start creating stop motion videos through your Android smartphone. Do let us know what you think in the comments section below.

German Thrashers EXUMER have posted one out of two video clips taken from the "Keep It True Festival 12", DVD compilation, which was filmed in spring 2009. The band's performance on the festival was recorded during their "5 Nights of Fire Tour", and featured former singer / guitarist Paul Arakaki alongside main frontman Mem V. Stein. The DVD also includes a bonus interview with both singers recorded at the same show. Vocalist Mem V. Stein comments: "We posted the song 'Fallen Saint', and decided to showcase Paul. We wanted to give the fans who were not able to attend any of our last year's shows a chance to see how we looked / sounded like with two singers. We have been missing our friend during our current tour and missed him on the first leg of the "European Ignition Tour 2010", earlier in the spring. However, we are currently rehearsing and writing the new EXUMER material from the up-coming album, to be released next year, between dates in order to sound as organic as possible. This was one of our greatest challenges with last year's line-up, where 3 of us were located in the U.S. and two in Germany. It is a little easier now with me and our bassist residing in NYC and the rest of the band living in Germany. It makes it possible to get together and operate as a band, rather than a bunch guys in front of computers swapping files. The new album should satisfy most our old fans and we hope to gain some new ones alog the way." For more information go to www.myspace.com/exumerwakingthefire

In a nutshell, there's no denying we're all pretty much underwhelmed by the tablet's technical specifications: lack of GPS, no Flash support, no camera, no external connectors, no multitasking.. the list goes on and on.
On top of that, it looks like most of us have been hoping for a tablet version of OS-X rather than an iPhone-OS on steroids.
Such omissions are so blatant that left us wondering whether Apple has finally gone crazy or is just playing some sadistic trick on their loyal followers (and mind you, that doesn't include me, I'm no Mac disciple).
But, what if the tablet were not so much about raw hardware specs as much as the overall experience?
Let's take the OS first: if you were Apple, would you rather spend millions trying to introduce a decent touch control interface in OS-X, with the risk (or almost certainity) of ending up with a worthless hybrid like the Windows tablets are, or would you rather improve on an OS that is already built around the touch-controls paradigm?
Not really unfriendly.. just unusable. Forget it.
Like it or not, Apple made the right choice with the OS, also taking the opportunity to capitalize on the existing iPhone apps and developers' experience.
Back to the specs themselves, I was saying that the omissions are so blatant, this can't be just something overlooked.
Let's remember Apple is trying to introduce a new kind of device into our lifes. With the iPhone it was relatively more straighforward. We all pretty damn well know what a mobile phone is and we know we need one.
But, what do we need a tablet for? Do we actually need one? How could Apple lure us into being brave enough to trying something new?
Well, by keeping the price down, first thing.
Oh, now all the hardware they've taken out of it starts to make sense. Cause yes, even a GPS antenna, a camera, a few connectors have a cost. And if they don't fall within the actual area of usage of the tablet - which is not a Phone replacement nor a Desktop replacement - they could be taken out.
Yes, I do believe now that it makes a lot of sense trying keep the price as low as possible - at least on the initial models - to give the world time to familiarize with the new concept. This also explains why the iPad comes in 6 versions!
Another aspect that has been bugging the majority is the constraint of having to rely - once again - solely on the App Store for application distribution. A system that has been heavily (and often rightfully) criticized.
While I personally don't condone many of Apple's policies about applications approval, it's just clear that the concept is a winning one especially on a mobile device, where people on the go need a quick way if accessing an application catalog rather than spending hours looking for software around "teh interwebs" like we do on our desktops.
I've also got a burning feeling that we'll see some shockingly great applications on the new device, leveraging on the seemingly excellent large multi-touch screen.
On top of that, the 10-hours operational time, if true, will be a world's first.

For photographs it is best to leave them uncompressed and the default size and in the jpeg (or jpg) file type. GIF file types can also be used.
For a good quality photo on laptops & mobile displays 1000pixels x 700pixels is fine, having 15 high quality images for example may cause the website to take longer to load. However, this is unlikely to be noticeable unless the site is being loaded over a slow connection such as mobile data.
Compressing the images will cause the website to load faster and would be more effective than resizing the images however the images may have a noticeable reduction in the quality of the image.
When adding Images to a page you should click OK for every photo.
940x150 pixels for Homepage Banner.
620x304 pixels for News Images (General landscape images on a page as well).
300x250 pixels for Boxed Images.
300x120 pixels for Half-block Images.
Sponsors images can be anywhere between maximum width of 150 pixels and maximum height of 100 pixels. Keep all sponsor images roughly the same dimensions.
630x222 pixels for the Animated Banner Images.
75x113 pixels for Athlete Profile Images.
For the large image (Welcome Image) underneath the navigation banner - 320x240 pixels.
News Thumbnails - As long you stick to roughly 1:1 aspect ratio it should be okay. (This can be anywhere between 0.75 to 1 if need be, and it should still look okay. Try not to upload images past 1000x1000, as they tend to get rather large and make the page take some time to load).
News Images - Width shouldn't exceed 620 pixels and height shouldn't really exceed past 1500+ pixels for loading purposes.


We recommend the Jetboil Flash. It includes a 1L cooking cup, a push button igniter, stabilizing stand, adapter for using a pan and everything fits inside the cup (including the 110g fuel canister, not included). The Flash is lightweight and great for solo or two person cooking of dehydrated meals by boiling water in a…flash. A great sealing lid with sip hole makes pouring or drinking from easy. There are graduated fill lines on the inside for simple measuring.
In addition to outdoor adventuring, On Purpose Adventures highly recommend having a Jetboil (Sol, Zip, Flash, Sumo) in a BUG out bag. In any kind of disaster, be it flood, blizzard, zombie apocalypse or vehicle breakdown in the middle of nowhere having a way to boil water is a necessity. There are many other things that should be included in a BUG out bag but we will save that for another blog.

Q: Back-to-back MOSFETs: common source vs common drain? If connecting a pair of discrete MOSFETs back-to-back to create a bidirectional load switch, what's the practical difference between having them common-source versus common-drain?
In this particular case, I'm using a pair of p-ch FETs to isolate a battery from a load and also ensure that stored charge within the load can't return to the battery when switched off. I have a 3V6 battery so a logic level FET works fine. The PCB routing works best if I have common source, but I've seen both configurations used in literature.
In an integrated device I would imagine that there might be good reason to choose one over the other, since the common bulk silicon would most likely influence the choice. But with discrete parts there doesn't appear to be a clear reason for choosing one over the other, provided that the gate drive exceeds the body diode forward voltage drop as well as Vgth.
So are there reasons to specifically choose one of these configuration?
Given the base conditions: that the supply is greater than the FET Vgth plus a body diode forward drop; then either circuit works functionally. However, simulations indicate that there is some benefit to the common-source arrangement in that the switching transitions are faster so there is less power wasted in the FETs.

A: If you need to drive both MOSFETs from a common signal you have to tie the sources together or the body diodes will stop you turning them off.  Every MOSFET has a diode in parallel with the drain and source electrodes.

The gate drive needs to either have a floating source applied between the common source and the common gate.  Or have enough swing to guarantee enough bias for the entire swing of the input signal.  The max Vgs will often prohibit that approach.

A: I believe Kevin White's answer is partially incorrect (less partially that I origanally thought!, as well as showing N-channel fets). Neither way will work if the gate is not referenced to the floating sources unless the gates can goto the extremes of the signal (because of the diodes). Either way will work with that limitation.
In the common source case then as Kevin points out referencing the gates to the floating source allows switching of positive or negative voltages without limitations of Vgs

If the gates are referenced to the left hand side (Common) then it is clear that in the Common-Source case if the Load is more negative, then Vgate must be < than S3/4 which is only one diode drop from Common to turn on and >= Common to turn off. If the Source is more positive, then Vgate must be less than Common to turn on but >= S3/4 which is now one diode drop from Source.
In the Common-Drain case if the Load is more negative, then Vgate must be less than Load to turn on and >= Common to turn off. If the Source is more positive, then Vgate must be < Common to turn on and >= Source to turn off.
Assuming Common can only swing between Load and Source then Vgate has to be able to swing from Source to Load-G(thres) in either configuration. Apart from possibly the fact that in the Common-Drain case the two fets can share a heatsink I can see no reason to recommend it.

Daniel and Ruth Welton Tyler
Daniel Tyler
Born 23 Nov 1819 - Died 7 Nov 1906
Ruth Welton Tyler
Born 25 Feb 1820 - Died 14 Apr 1897
Written by Emily Cramer
Daniel Tyler, son of Andrews and Elizabeth Comins Tyler, was born in Sempronious, Cayuga, New York on November 23, 1819.
At the early age of four years, fourteen years before he was baptized into the LDS Church, Daniel received his first vision. He had a serious sickness and was confined to bed in a room with a loft. One night during his illness, he had occasion to rise from his bed about midnight. Suddenly the room was filled with a brilliant light, lighter than noon-day sun. He looked into the fireplace only to discern a few smoldering coals covered with ashes. He gazed upon everything visible in the room; all seemed natural except that the light gave things a brighter hue. He looked overhead to an opening between two loose boards where his father usually kept his saw, auger, and other tools. There Daniel beheld a hand and wrist which were nearly transparent, with a wrist band whiter than pure snow. He called to his Mother, who awoke at the second call. He asked who was in the chamber. She answered that there was no one there and that if there had been, he could not have seen him in the dark. He answered that it was not dark, but was lighter than day light and that he could see to pick up a pin. He was told to go back to bed, which he did. Then the vision closed and it was so dark he could not see his hand before him. On relating the vision to his mother the next morning, she wept and said she feared he was not long for this world. However, he improved in health and received many other visions and words of warning.
In the Spring of 1832, Elders Samuel H. Smith and Orson Hyde called in the locality of West Springfield, Pennsylvania. At the close of the first meeting Daniel picked up the Book of Mormon which the Elders had left lying on the table and began to read the preface. He hadn't read far when his brother, William, took the book out of his hands, remarking that good people said it carried with it a spirit of witchcraft. Daniel was then about fifteen years of age and believed every word of the discourse, but dared not make his belief known because of his youth and the bitterness of his father.
There was no human being to whom Daniel dared make known the fact that he believed in the teachings of the despised Mormons. He had, however, for some time been in the habit of engaging in secret prayer and now, in this hour of trial, he went to his place of secret resort and poured out his soul to the Lord. He made a covenant with Him that in case his only sister would believe and be baptized he would go with her. She believed and was taken on an ox sled two miles where a hole was cut through three feet of solid ice to reach the water and was baptized. Daniel remained at home during the baptismal ceremony, a heart-broken, bashful boy without stamina enough to come out and confront a wicked world.
Soon after this his father, mother, and two brothers were baptized. Daniel was on the bank by this time. His father, knowing nothing of the covenants, asked him if it was not hard for his parents, sister and brothers to leave him. With this he broke down and cried aloud. Not until then had the Father given him permission to be baptized. This was on Sunday and he waited until the following Wednesday, January 16, 1833, pleading with the Lord to forgive him of the sin of covenant breaking. Not until he arose from the water did he feel that his prayers had been answered. The gift of prophecy was poured out upon him. He also received the gift of interpretation of tongues. His first and greatest gift was to speak easily and fluently in his own language. He was ordained a Priest in the Aaronic Priesthood on August 14, 1834 and immediately began preaching the Gospel at home and in regions around.
Ruth Welton, daughter of Asa and Clarissa Norton Welton, was born in Spafford, Onodango County, New York on February 25, 1820. Her father was quite a sucessful businessman. He had a home, acreage, and some sheep. Shortly before Ruth's birth, he bade his wife goodby to go on a short business trip. He never returned; no trace was ever found of him. It forever remained a mystery. The baby born was a girl and her mother named her Ruth. Her mother taught her to read from the Bible, and she became a great Bible reader.
At an early age she was sent to school. She was very studious. When she was eight years old, her mother married Daniel Pulsipher, nephew of Zerah Pulsipher, by whom she had two sons and one daughter.
From her early childhood Ruth was religiously inclined. When she was five years of age her mother was very ill. Little Ruth went in a room alone and prayed to God to heal her mother and to make her well. Her prayer was answered. Her mother recovered almost immediately.
At the age of nine years, Ruth wished to join the Methodist Church. She had read her Bible and learned that Jesus taught baptism by immersion; therefore, she asked for that kind of baptism. After considerable discussion, she was granted her request, although it was contrary to the general practice in that church at that time.
When Ruth was twelve years old, she heard some Mormon Missionaries preach in her home town. She accepted the Gospel and was baptized by Elder Jared Carter in January of 1832. She was the first member of her family to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Two or three years later, she, with her parents and other members of the family, moved to Kirtland, Ohio. Here she met Daniel Tyler and married him. She was sixteen and one half years old. The marriage took place in Kirtland on the evening of September 11, 1836.
The following day they left in company with his father's family for Caldwell County, Missouri, a distance of about 1000 miles. Andrews Tyler and his younger son, Comfort, a youth of 18 years, died and were buried by the roadside. Because of sickness and deaths, they did not arrive at Far West, Missouri until August 3, 1837.
Early in the Spring of 1838 Daniel purchased ten acres of land. He cultivated part of it and planted corn. In the Autumn of the year mobs arose with a view to drive the Mormons out of Caldwell and Davis Counties. The people applied to the Governor of the State for protection. He answered that the war was between the mobs and the Mormons and that he would have nothing to do with it.
With their scanty supply of arms, the Mormons drove the mob from those two counties. The mob burned their own houses and field, then sent messengers to Governor Lindburn W. Boggs that the Mormons had driven them out and burned their houses to the ground.
The Governor then sent an army against the Mormons. They were compelled to leave the state of Missouri after signing away all of their property, real and personal, to pay the expenses which the mob themselves had inaugurated. In these and all other persecutions this young couple participated.
About November or December, 1838, after the surrender of Far West, Daniel was in a company with several other brethren. He turned an old fashioned chair and lay upon it. Immediately he was lost to this world. His guide who was always with him said: "Gabriel will blow his trumpet directly three times. When he blows the first time you must go to your father's grave and call him up."
How he was to reach the grave was a question in his mind as it was two hundred miles distant. He resolved to start when the trumpet blew if he didn't get more that two or three steps. He says he thought he went out into the open air. Far up on the heavens he saw a man clothed in a long white robe with a trumpet which looked to be about two inches long in his right hand which he commenced to blow.
Daniel started toward the grave as he had determined. He had not gone over three steps when he was raised up in the air and placed on his feet at the head of his father's grave. He called three times at different intervals: "Father, come up." The last call he shouted with all the energy of his soul. Immediately the grave opened. His father raised up and walked toward him. Daniel reached forward his hand which was accepted by his father. After shaking hands he was helped out of the grave. He seemed dressed in his ordinary citizen clothes and looked as natural as life. Here the scene closed and Daniel was wide awake in his chair. He arose and related what he had seen to the company.
Sixty four years after this event transpired, Apostle Francis M. Lyman, knowing nothing of the forgoing, laid his hands upon Daniel's head and blessed him. Among other great blessings and promises he said: "You shall call up your dead."
After leaving Far West, Missouri on February 13, 1839 with an ox team and an old wagon, they went to Exedor, Illinois, and lived with Ruth's parents for several years. They moved to Griggsville, Pikes County, Illinois, where their daughter, Perintha Olive was born on June 4, 1839. In the spring of 1840, Daniel was ordained an elder by Elder Harrison Burgess, and was sent to the southern states on a mission. When he had been gone one year, his wife and child joined him. She remained with him the last year of his mission, doing much good among the women in the mission. He was suffering with consumption at this time, and was strongly impressed to go to the southern states both for his health and to preach the gospel.
They returned home in October, 1842. In September, 1843, Ruth gave birth to twin girls, Mary and Martha. She was not permitted to keep them very long. One died the next month and the other died later.
On the 24th of September, 1844, Daniel was ordained a Seventy and appointed to preside over the Southern district of Missouri. Ruth was again left alone to support herself and child.
The Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were martyred in Carthage jail, Carthage, Hancock, Illinois on June 27, 1844. Daniel returned to Nauvoo for the October Conference of the church. He sailed to Nauvoo and set out on foot to meet his family .
Assassins had given Daniel poison earlier and Ruth had received word that he was dead. He did not die from the poison but was terribly bloated and ill when he met his wife on the road. She did not recognize him when they met, but of course he knew her. What a joyous greeting that was. At the October conference Brigham Young was recognized as their prophet because as he spoke his voice and appearance was as that of Joseph Smith.
In September 1845, they moved to Nauvoo, Illinois, where their fourth child, Ruth, was born in October and died in November the same year. Ruth joined the first Relief Society organized by the Prophet Joseph Smith. She received a Patriarchal blessing on April 20, 1836 under the hands of Joseph Smith, Sr.
Early in June of 1846, they crossed the Mississippi River and took up the march to follow the pioneers to the Rocky Mountains. When they arrived at Council Bluffs, Iowa, the Mormon Battalion was mustered into service of the United States to march to California in the Mexican War. Daniel was one of the 500 volunteers (16 July 1846)
Ruth was again left on the road in Indian country while her husband went away, this time to fight the battle of his country. Ruth was unable to continue on with the pioneers. She remained in Council Bluffs, Iowa, where her fifth child, Emily Percinda, was born on the 28th of January, 1847, six months after her husband left with the Battalion.
The Battalion was discharged one year from the time of enlistment. Daniel arrived back to Council Bluffs on December 18, 1847. He was the author of the book, "The Mormon Battalion." His wife did all she could to help get this wonderful book into print and she also went around soliciting for the sale of it.
In June, 1848, they started with Amasa Lyman's Emigration Company to Salt Lake City. They arrived at the mouth of Emigration Canyon on October 18, 1848, and settled in Little Cottonwood. On the 25th of the same month, Ruth gave birth to another daughter who died the same day. In the spring of 1849, they moved into the city of Salt Lake where Daniel was appointed first counselor to Bishop David Pettigrew in the Tenth Ward.
On January 27, 1850, their son, Daniel Moroni was born in Salt Lake City. On September 12, 1851, Fitz Henry was born. He only lived a year.
On one occasion about this time, Daniel was camping for the night near the head of the Red Butte Canyon. Being very tired of walking down the steep defiles of the canyon, he got upon his wagon to ride and to rest himself. In a few minutes an inward monitor told him he had better get off or he might get hurt. He answered that he would as soon as he reached the top of the hill. He reached it sooner than he had anticipated and the team suddenly commenced running down the road at a rapid pace.
He fell from the load. The rear wheel ran over his head, down his body, and broke his leg. As he was falling, the same inward voice told him that he would be badly hurt but not killed. His companions made a stretcher and placed him on the load. His breathing came at irregular intervals at first, then gradually got normal. He was confined to his bed for three months and unable to walk without crutches for seven months. Daniel says in his personal journal that had he obeyed these warnings, he would not have been injured. When he has obeyed the first promptings, everything has turned out alright.
At the annual conference of the church at Salt Lake City in April, 1853, he was called to go on a mission to Europe. After leaving for Liverpool, England on the sailing ship "Ashburton", a heavy storm arose, a thunder bolt striking near the ship. In the morning, the wind was desperate, the ships carpenter got his leg broken trying to reach the sails. The wind was so strong that it rocked the ship from side to side until it tipped nearly half-way over. Death now stared them in the face. There was no time to lose. Some of the Elders went into a closet, and prayed for the Lord to rebuke the storm. They commanded the wind and the waves to cease their raging. By this time, the water was getting deep over the deck and to their great joy, their prayers were answered. The ship again went on its way as usual. The Captain of the ship said he had traveled the seas for thirty years, but this was the most severe storm he had ever seen.
Daniel Tyler was appointed to take charge of the Swiss and Italian missions. The German and French missions were added soon afterwards and Daniel was made President of the missions. By these appointments a blessing was fulfilled which was given him when he was hobbling on crutches--that he should have the use of his limbs, travel abroad and preach the Gospel in four different languages. While on this mission, he corresponded with Professor Karl G. Maeser, and through this means, Brother Maeser was converted to the church.
He was gone two years and released November 27, 1855 because of ill health. He came back to the United States to Iowa City and continued on to Salt Lake Valley with Captain Edward Martin's handcart company. He was counselor to the Captain and Chaplin of the company.
In 1861 Daniel and Ruth were called to Southern Utah to help strengthen a weak settlement. Their family accompanied them. Daniel taught school here for three years, then was called to Beaver City for the same purpose. He taught there one year. They resided in Beaver the remainder of their lives.
In the year 1873 Daniel was ordained patriarch by George Albert Smith under Brigham Young's direction. Saints throughout the southern boundaries came to Daniel for blessings. He was blessed with miraculous spiritual powers of healing the sick, casting out evil spirits, and was recognized as an authority on Church doctrine.
Soon after moving to Beaver, Ruth was chosen President of Relief Society (1876) which office she held for a number of years. Again in 1886 she was chosen President and faithfully fulfilled this office until she was released to take the position of President of the Stake Relief Society, March 5, 1897. During her presidency two rock buildings were erected.
She was active in public and Church work. She was one who was ready and willing to respond to every call. Her whole soul was in the work of the Lord from the time she was baptized until her death. Ruth was a devoted mother, faithful companion, a friend to the needy, and a comfort to the sick for whom she cared and administered to their wants.
Ruth and Daniel celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on September 11, 1896. She departed this life on April 14, 1897 at the age of 77 after an illness of only three days. Daniel died on November 7, 1906, just 16 days before his 90th birthday. He is buried in the Mountain View Cemetery in Beaver, Beaver, Utah, beside his noble wife, who preceded him in death by nine years.

Solar heating can be applied to new, as well as existing multifamily buildings; either the buildings are connected to a local heating plant or a district heating network. The paper will describe a development of roof integrated collectors from site built collectors to prefabricated roof module collectors based on two major applications: new residential buildings built by EKSTA Bostads AB and existing multifamily buildings renovated by Gårdstensbostäder AB, both municipal housing companies are in the Göteborg area. Since early 1980's EKSTA has built about 10 new residential developments with about 6 000 m² of solar collectors on a number of new buildings. The majority of buildings, typically better insulated than required by the Swedish building code, are connected to local heating plants combining wood pellet or briquette boilers and solar heating using roof-integrated solar collectors. Gårdstensbostäder has carried out a renovation project with the aim to demonstrate a comprehensive integrated concept, comprising energy conservation and utilisation of solar energy, as well as improved architectural and social conditions, making the buildings in a typical existing residential building area from the 1970's more attractive. The project comprises 500 apartments in 3-5 floor concrete element in six blocks. The renovation was carried out in two phases: one finished late 2000 and one finished in early 2004. One innovative feature is 1 410 m² prefabricated roof modules with integrated solar collectors for pre-heating DHW.

Saudi-led coalition warplanes pounded rebel positions across Sanaa overnight, only hours after the UN envoy to Yemen arrived in the rebel-held capital, residents said Saturday.
Among the air strike targets was a house of ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh in his home town of Sanhan, south of the capital.
The raids came after Saleh said, in an interview broadcast late Friday, that he had rejected a Saudi offer of "millions of dollars" to oppose the Iran-backed Shia rebels.
Saleh was forced to resign in early 2012 after waging a bloody crackdown on a year of protests calling for an end to his three decades of iron-fisted rule.
His forces have been backing the Houthi rebels who seized Sanaa in September before expanding across other parts of the country.
The interview was aired on the Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen television channel whose presenter said he spoke from Sanaa.
But the former strongman no longer resides in his Sanhan house which has been targeted occasionally since the Saudi-led coalition launched their air strikes on March 26.
The latest air raids also hit the rebel-held air force headquarters in Sanaa, arms depots in Sanhan, as well as the Dailami air base, also in the capital, witnesses said.
Other raids targeted rebel positions in the oil-rich eastern province of Marib and the western region of Hodeidah.
The raids came only hours after UN special envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed flew in to Sanaa on Friday for talks with political parties, according to a rebel-run website.
A conference on Yemen which was due to take place in Geneva last Thursday was postponed, in a fresh blow to UN efforts to broker peace in the country where the conflict has killed almost 2,000 people since March.
In Friday's interview, Saleh renewed calls for talks in Geneva between the Yemeni parties, as well as negotiations between Yemenis and Saudi Arabia -- which he accused of seeking to sow "sedition" in the war-torn country.
But "sooner or later we will hold talks with Saudi Arabia," said the former president who himself belongs to the Iran-backed Houthis' Zaidi offshoot of Shia Islam.
Saleh said the Geneva talks, which he himself first proposed, should focus on "power transfer, choosing a new authority, and the return to elections," as well as "condemning the Saudi aggression".
And while he indicated that the rule of President Abd-rabbo Mansour Hadi "is over", he insisted that "I will not accept power for myself or my son" Ahmed, who led the elite Republican Guard troops during his rule.
As for Iran, which he said he was not directly in contact with, Saleh said the Shia-dominated Islamic republic "does not pose a threat to Yemen at all".

Since early childhood Jen Green has been in love with aircraft and the supersonic pilots who flew them. Born in Farnborough, Hampshire at the start of World War Two her play ground was under the shadow of dog-fights between spitfires and hurricanes and the Luftwaffe over the South of England. After the war her school days were disturbed by noise from experimental wind tunnels, turbines and noisy aircraft at the nearby Royal Aircraft Establishment. In the 1950's the world famous air displays demonstrating the latest passenger and fighter planes took to the skies and for two weeks or so, it was heads under desks in the class room. But it was the 600mph test pilots hell bent on pushing back the barriers to fly faster than sound who became the post-war heroes of British aviation: the rip-roaring gladiators blazing their way into history and idolised in the same way as footballers and pop stars are today. Tragedy struck when teenage fan Jen became an important eye witness to the Farnborough Air Show disaster on September 1952 when a jet fighter plunged into the crowd killing and injuring many people. Forty years on she was asked to contribute her recollections of supersonic flying in a TV documentary 'The 6OOmp Men" for the BBC series 'Aviators" where she was delighted to meet her number supersonic pin up, Neville Duke.


Aimée and Rich met in the most unlikely of places: a tiny village just north of the Congo border, where she was a Peace Corps volunteer and he was helping to start up a new national park. After more than a decade working on marine conservation projects, they made their way to New England. Once again, it was love at first sight; only this time it was for East View Farm, an 1810 brick Federal farmhouse on 41 acres of maple woodland and meadows.
When they're not digging the garden or felling trees for the fireplace, Rich is playing one of his many instruments, and Aimée is teaching yoga in her home studio or out in the community. She obtained her RYT-200 certification in 2014. Callum spends his time pushing trucks around and dancing.
We celebrate diversity. All are welcome.

Q: How can I use RSVG with ImageMagick? I'd like to use the RSVG for SVG processing in ImageMagick (the included library is fairly incomplete). RSVG is a supported delegate but needs to be installed separately.
I've installed librsvg and its dependencies using Homebrew (no custom settings or anything like that). Running rsvg-convert manually works fine.
Installing ImageMagick with Homebrew doesn't auto-detect and use the RSVG library and running IM's configure script with --with-rsvg doesn't detect the library either.
Clearly something isn't talking to something else, but I can't make sense of the log messages well enough to sort it out. Any advice would be appreciated.
Here's the relevant portion of config.log:
configure:31587: checking for RSVG
configure:31594: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "librsvg-2.0 >= 2.9.0"
Package xcb-shm was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xcb-shm.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'xcb-shm', required by 'cairo', not found
configure:31597: $? = 1
configure:31610: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "librsvg-2.0 >= 2.9.0"
Package xcb-shm was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xcb-shm.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'xcb-shm', required by 'cairo', not found
configure:31613: $? = 1

configure:31640: result: no
configure:31652: result:

A: This message indicates that cairo, a prerequisite for librsvg, cannot find the configuration options for package xcb-shm. They should be stored in /opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig/xcb-shm.pc. All you have to do is add this path to the environment variable $PKG_CONFIG_PATH:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig

configure should now be able to find what it is looking for.

Nothing comes easy for Rangers as Mark Allen weighs it all up – Report
As you can well imagine, the Rangers fans here in the Transfer Tavern are really rather excited about what the future might hold. As the club hunt for a new boss, the sense of optimism amongst those propping up our bar really is palpable.
Pedro Caixinha's exit has seemed to have lifted everyone in a Light Blue jersey here in the Tavern, such was the nature of his dour reign in charge at Ibrox. However, reports from the Evening Express suggest their attempts to land one of the reported targets won't be easy.
Indeed, Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes has been strongly mooted as a potential target, having played for the Gers during his earlier career. Still, according to the Express, the Dons will not give their man up without a fight. While he is said to be Rangers' number one choice, no formal approach is thought to have been made for him yet.
A compensation package could reportedly cost up to £1.5m as Rangers' director of football, Mark Allen, weighs up whether or not to move.
McInnes seems like an obvious choice for Rangers after the disaster that was Pedro Caixinha. Well versed in the arts of the Scottish Premiership, he'd be a popular choice in our bar. Worth the money.

Delaware State Capital: Dover
Dover was founded in 1683 by William Penn, who named the city after a port town in England's county of Kent. He gave the county in which Delaware's capital resides the same name.
Air Mobility Command Museum: Very cool place to take the kids. They're always updating and adding additional activities. The guides are very informative and answer any questions you may have. Going on the old planes might be your favorite! A true bargain, with free admission, the museum has a phenomenal collection of aircraft, from the simplest, smallest, single seater to the monstrous C-5A Galaxy. Many can be boarded, so you can see them from inside and out. Ever flown a fighter? Now you can try the next best thing with their free simulators. Call ahead to check hours of operation. Be sure to climb the control tower to get a great aerial view of all the planes outside. Looking for the perfect selfie opportunity, why not in the Vice-President's Air Force Two. The DC-9 was also used as a make-shift Air Force One for presidents Reagan, Clinton and both Bush presidents when they flew into smaller airports that couldn't handle Air Force One. The museum is located next to the Dover Air Base runways and the previous tower from the base is now in the museum. When you climb the old tower, you can watch the planes taking off and landing at the base.
Dover International Speedway: Go to this track to view a NASCAR race usually in September. Parking is adequate but gets a little crazy on race day. Take a tour of this track when you get there. The tour was simply AMAZING! And highly recommend it for any NASCAR Race fans. The tour guide is so informative. You'll love the tour! Dover Speedway…. top fastest cars… Exciting and fun. But, LOUD! Don't forget the ear plugs!
Johnson Victrola Museum: This place is fantastic! You'll never see so many machines and records all in one collection. There are thousands of 78 RPM recordings, and 2 floors of musical machines. See the Auxetophone (1 of 14 still in existence), Graphophone, Gramophone, and Radiola Electrola – from table top machines to luxurious floor models selling for $1500 in the 1920s. Learn the difference between a Victor and a Victrola!
Hear the amazing acoustic sound reproduction on these machines using no electronics. The tour guide will do a superb job in making history come to life. She will demonstrate the machines, and is just full of fun & fascinating facts about the history & development of recorded sound and music. There is no fee for touring this museum, but gratuities are very welcome. It's just amazing, though, to see what the volunteers/staff have done with the donations they've received over past years. This is definitely a museum worth visiting!!!!
John Dickinson Plantation: You'll really enjoy a tour of this place and the experience. What a wonderful piece of history for the State of Delaware. The tour guide is open to questions and very accommodating. The house and grounds are a treasure. You'll be greeted by a woman in period clothes, who will welcome you and explain what there is to see. Watch a video which will tell of the Dickinson family. Then walk over to the house and take the tour. It can be a great visit. It's free and now part of the First State National Historical Park.
Delaware State Police Museum and Education Center: A small museum with some interesting exhibits including a mock-up of a crime scene where you are invited to solve the crime. You'll enjoy the siren and lights in a police car and even younger children will too. Sort of an unusual stop but highly recommended! Lots of police history, wonderful displays of police uniforms, vehicles, equipment and more. Don't miss this one! The museum is curated by a retired police officer, and he helps kids find clues in the interactive crime scene, and let them sit in the police car and play with the lights. Another museum employee is dressed as McGruff the Crime Dog and poses for pictures. Excellent exhibits and a nice amount of games to keep kids involved.
Lots of things to do and lots of places to stay; it's an easy flight to the Philadelphia Airport, rent a car for a short trip to Dover. When you are finished with your visit to Dover, visit Southwestern Delaware…
Ten Strange, Cool, and Compelling Reasons to Visit Southwestern Delaware
Delaware is not a state that gets much hype, tourism-wise, and when it does, it's usually about the beaches, the Brandywine River Valley, or the City of Wilmington.
But here's the thing: Southwestern Delaware – or more precisely Western Sussex County, which includes the towns of Laurel, Seaford, Bethel and Georgetown – is shot through with so many rivers and rivulet's, creeks and streams, it is kayaking nirvana. And very few know about it.
This segment of Delaware is also a skydiving hotspot – very fitting, as DuPont opened the word's first Nylon plant here in 1939; pumping out massive amounts of the material used to make a significant number of the country's parachutes. Western Sussex County is also a Bass Fishing utopia, and full of local color – both visually and personality-wise. Read on for the best reasons to visit this little known part of the Small Wonder State.
This middle section of the Delmarva Peninsula was once almost all swampland, until lumber companies in the 1700's cut down trees and drained the swamps. One of these drained swamps became the rainwater-fed lake at Trap Pond State Park (Laurel, DE), considered to be one of the Top Ten Bass Fishing lakes in the country by Bassmaster Magazine. Be sure to sign up for a Pontoon Boat Tour (offered throughout the day and even at night, in season), which winds through a Floridaesque setting, dense with the northernmost stand of bald cypress trees in the USA. These partially submerged trees form a ghostly landscape at night, a spookiness amplified by the sounds of winged creatures (heron, owls, other things) that shriek and moan in the dark. For the full effect, stay in a tent, trailer, or cabin by the water, and take advantage of Trap Pond State Park.
One local story, that of the Swamp Monster, captures the essence of this swampland -a comfort-food version of a monster tale with a completely nutty twist. In 1963, the then 23-year-old Fred Stevens donned his Aunt's fur coat, picked up a bat, put on a scary mask and marched in the local Halloween parade. As a prank, Stevens (in full regalia) and a friend headed to the swamp where the friend captured the "Swamp Monster" on film, sent photos to the town paper, and thus a created a legend. Stevens kept his secret for 25 years, and when he revealed his true identity, the newspapers were all over it. In 2010, Brown University mistakenly sent Stevens an invitation to a 50th Reunion (supposedly, Stevens was Ted Turner's roommate). Stevens responded by sending a photo of the Swamp Monster and newspaper clippings about himself. Brown University published these as an "alum update" in its annual magazine.
Annual Return Day repairs a fractious community. Back in 1791 (and every year since), farmers would travel to Georgetown, DE to vote, then go back to their fields. Two days later, they'd "return" to hear the results of the election. Back then, and still now, the winning party parades through the streets ending in the town center where all who ran for office gather to "bury the hatchet," in an actual box of sand. A community event, Return Day is one of the most civilized post-election proceedings in the country.
In 1608, John Smith and his crew rowed and sailed on the Nanticoke River from Chesapeake Bay to what is now Western Sussex, DE at the mouth of Broad Creek. Smith's 1613 map of the area remains accurate to this day, in fact, as most of these major and minor ribbons of water haven't changed much in 400 years.
Take your love for a picnic at riverside Phillips Landing. You can just imagine John Smith paddling upstream at this dogleg turn of the Nanticoke, it is so pristine and untouched. This is one of the most romantic spots in SW Delaware, so pack some wine and cheese and leave your cell phone at home.
The Nanticoke and its tributaries are so tranquil and picturesque, kayaking here allows for true communion with nature. Countless creeks and rivers are relatively unknown, making the area enticing for recreational kayakers looking for new bucolic waterways to paddle. The best way to explore here is with knowledgeable outfitters. Learn to SUP on flat-water with Delmarva Board Sports and/or discover Stan Shedaker's favorite excursions. As owner of Adrenalin High Outfitters, Shedaker has investigated them all.
Skydive Delmarva (Laurel Airport) is serious about safety…and fun. They train the US Naval Academy Parachute Team, after all. But, the pros there are also about having a good time. Try a tandem jump for $225, and you might discover you just adore jumping out of a plane from 13,500 ft.!
The public 18-hole golf course at Heritage Shores (Bridgeville) is peppered with 17 ponds, which ups the challenge and enhances aesthetics. There are so many water hazards in fact; the Golf Shop sells floating balls. If golf is not your thing, try Bocce Ball. Though small, Heritage Shores has one of the finest Bocce Courts in the land. After a round, head to the hip Sugar Beet Market on Heritage Shores property for a drink at the cool bar or to pick up some local cheese and crackers to enjoy on the deck out back. It's particularly beguiling at sunset.
For some down-home food, and for a real taste of Western Sussex County, find a Fish Fry being catered by My Turn to Cook (for hire, too). Watch fresh-caught fish turn golden brown before your eyes – fixin's include cooked greens and potatoes as well.
Chefs in the area "train each other" and a true culinary scene is "unfolding before our eyes," says one local. This farming community is smack dab between Bay and Ocean watersheds, so chefs benefit from nearby farms and fisheries. Right now, the best example of locally sourced cuisine is Abbott's on Broad Creek in Laurel. The food here can compete with the best restaurants in America. Chef Ryan Cunningham looks like a chill dude, but works magic in his kitchen, turning out delights like Grilled Octopus with Truffle Vinaigrette Tendrils, Mussels and Fries, Apple-Scrapple Flatbread, just-picked salads, and other tweaked comfort foods.

I have led dance for Parkinson's sessions for Fresh Arts at Southmead Hospital, in Bristol, for just over 12 months. I was lucky enough to begin leading sessions soon after I'd completed the weekend of dance for Parkinson's training presented in Bristol by People Dancing and English National Ballet.
Six weeks prior to the training, I had volunteered as an assistant to Lerato Dunn at Southmead hospital. This was valuable experience because, while I was studying for the online part of the course, I was getting real experience of what a dance class for people living with Parkinson's actually looked like. I learned what the challenges were, how the person is affected by Parkinson's and how we could use dance to benefit participants both physically and psychologically. This gave me time to reflect on how I might adapt my practice to a class of dancers living with Parkinson's.
I was fortunate to have two volunteer assistants, Sophie Turner, whom I met at the Bristol training and Rachael Walsh who works with me at community arts organisation The Original Spinners and who has since completed her training too. They continue to work with me to deliver the Dance for Parkinson's sessions in paid roles. Last September, Lerato returned from maternity leave to co-lead the sessions at Southmead Hospital.
When I began leading the sessions I was nervous, taking extra-special care with the participants. I was intimidated by Parkinson's and became preoccupied with keeping people safe. Over time, I have grown in understanding and experience, learning to strike the right balance between challenging the participants and ensuring their safety, comfort and confidence.
I love this work and feel grateful for the generous and patient assistance that participants have given in helping me to understand the challenges they live with and growing my confidence as an artist delivering this work. In turn, it has been very rewarding to watch the participants themselves develop in confidence and ability, growing as dancers.
Last month, The Original Spinners were successful in securing funding from Bristol Ageing Better, Bristol City Council and Dance for Parkinson's UK Network to enable us to set-up and deliver a second Dance for Parkinson's class, in South Bristol. The numbers for this class are beginning to grow.
I look forward to Friday mornings and Wednesday afternoons and the time we spend together stretching every part of our bodies, from the tiny muscles of the face to the longest, widest stretches that our limbs will allow. We move, sing, smile and laugh together, pull faces at each other, send smiles around the room, challenge our capabilities, delight in each other's abilities and the possibilities that the creative partnership in dance has given us.
Participants are supportive of each other and one of the favourite dances we do is a flocked improvisation. These performances have moved people to tears and inspired rounds of applause at public sharings. The group performances are led, like a flock of birds, by one dancer. When many bodies move together as one, watching and listening in stillness and connection, it is mesmerising to watch. I want to make my dancers feel beautiful, to give them permission to shine, to feel good, to be bold, to take risks and to create and offer opportunities to share their abilities outside the studio.
There is joy in dance and joy in feasting our eyes on the body at dance, whether it's in the smallest movement or the greatest leap. The highest value of dance lies in its adaptability – even the most compromised of bodies naturally responds to music. Dance overcomes isolation, brings people together, helps individuals and groups find meaning again and celebrates community through positive shared experience.
