Remote Access: Small Public Libraries in Arkansas
We're Not Telling You Everything
Remote Access is the second Schmidt and House collaboration. Inspired by a love of libraries and the role public libraries play in their communities, we selected 21 of the smallest of the 235 public libraries in Arkansas for the project. The resulting collection of photographs and essays was published by the University of Arkansas Press in December 2021. From our project press release:
"All public libraries serve similar roles in their communities that go far beyond providing reading material. Those roles and services often don't end up in mission statements, but they are critical in the lives of the patrons," says Sabine Schmidt. "Small libraries in particular offer a safe, warm space with critical internet access, a research center, a home away from home. Often the librarian acts as researcher, grant writer, vocational counselor, cook, family relationship coach, child welfare monitor, community organizer, tutor, visitor information officer, living bulletin board, a friendly face, and a patient listener."

Schmidt, whose work often deals with ideas of place and home, concentrates on the physical community–the architecture, buildings, streets, businesses, schools, churches, and of course the library itself. "There is obvious beauty in the buildings and facilities of large urban libraries, and that has been documented in several collections of photographs over the years, but I find great beauty in the small rural library that has to make do with limited resources. Sometimes the library is housed in a building that was never intended for the purpose. Space restrictions can seem daunting. Often the library relies heavily on volunteers, with a librarian only funded with a part-time salary. The beauty that comes from labors of love is exactly what drives so many smaller libraries. It is tangible, palpable, and photographable."
House is foremost a portrait photographer, and his interest is in the people who come to the library, who use the space and the services. He will set up his backdrop and lights and photograph anyone who uses the library (and is willing) during normal business hours. According to House, the process is quick and casual: "I'm interested in the people, their personality, what they're wearing, what they're carrying, why they are there. There is no posing, no preconceived notion. When I'm done, if I've been successful, I have opened a window on the community and the people who make it what it is."
As a thank-you for their participation, all library patrons photographed received a complimentary silver-gelatin print of their photograph.

Varietal: Pinot Noir
Whilst the Pinot Noir grape varietal has its origins in France, and is most closely associated with fine Burgundy wines, it is now grown in almost every wine producing country in the world. There are many reasons for this – the densely packed, deep black bunches of fruits are responsible for making a wide variety of excellent wines, generally agreed to be amongst the most drinkable and accessible one can find. With flavors ranging from currants and red and black berries, to more earthy, spicy notes, Pinot Noir is a versatile varietal which is revered for its relatively light body and beautifully vivid red color However, the grapes themselves are notoriously susceptible to various diseases, and struggle in fluctuating climates. This has not stopped wineries planting and cultivating these vines, though, as Pinot Noir, when grown carefully and treated properly, is a grape with a wide and increasing fan-base, and more often than not produces wonderful wines.
In the beautiful French wine region of Burgundy, there is archaeological evidence to suggest that there has been viticultural activity going on for at least two thousand years. To add to this, there are early written records praising the exceptional wines produced in this region dating back to the 6th century, making Burgundy one of the oldest established and still operational wine regions in the world. The region is most commonly associated with fine red wines, with Pinot Noir being the primary grape varietal grown on its rolling hillsides and gently sloping valleys. However, Chardonnay grapes are also produced in abundance for the production of their fine white wines, with both varietals benefiting greatly from the region's warm, hot summers and the superb soils which make up the terroir.
French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.

Dick Cheney and Evangelical Christians Epitomize Dark Age Barbarism
Most human beings likely believe their nation is at least somewhat honorable as a testament to the people in the population, but history shows that certainly is not the case. Although Americans think this country is exceptional, it has not been honorable throughout its history, but many people claim the past is not an accurate measure of the nation today. However, if one considers the deceit and mistreatment of Native Americans, the country's shameful history of slavery, and the revelations the nation is guilty of humanitarian abuses at home and abroad, it is impossible to dispute this is a nation of barbarians; particularly due to the overwhelming support from so-called religious people for torture.
After the Senate Intelligence Report revealing the extent of torture authorized and supported by the Bush administration was released, the last thing one expected was both support among the population and avid defense of the barbaric prisoner mistreatment by former government leaders. Instead of shame and humiliation that this government condoned and defended myriad human rights violations, one of the architects of torture, Dick Cheney and several Bush officials hit the airwaves defending torture with overwhelming support from the religious right. This is particularly disgusting when one considers that Cheney actually approved of torturing detainees that were innocent and evangelicals still supported the human rights abuses.
When asked directly if he approved of torturing innocent captives, Cheney said "I have no problem as long as we achieved our objective (preparing for the Iraq War). Cheney was reminded of a detainee who was chained to the wall of his cell, doused with water, and froze to death while in C.I.A. custody. It turned out it was a case of mistaken identity, but in Cheney's, and a majority of Christian's minds, the torture and death of detainees that turned out to be innocent "do not present a problem as long as we achieve our objective." Cheney said "We got authorization from the president and authorization from the Justice Department to go forward with the program.
Cheney was reminded that America prosecuted Japanese soldiers in World War II for waterboarding American prisoners, and without remorse he claimed that "it is a really cheap shot to even try to draw a parallel between the Japanese who were prosecuted for waterboarding after World War II and what we did with waterboarding individuals;" including the 25% of innocent Muslims who were abused in custody. Innocent Muslims, by the way, that Cheney claimed were not American citizens and thus unlawful combatants, terrorists, and people who committed unlawful acts of war against the American people. It is noteworthy that America invaded and occupied a sovereign nation, so how 25% of admitted innocents were "unlawful combatants" is beyond the pale; particularly when innocents were "egregiously tortured" to justify invading Iraq.
According to a recently released Department of Justice document, "There was constant pressure on the intelligence agencies and the interrogators to do whatever it took to get information (to justify invading Iraq) out of the detainees, and when people committing torture kept coming up empty, they were told by Cheney's and Rumsfeld's people to push harder." This is in spite of "Cheney's and Rumsfeld's people being told repeatedly, by the CIA and many other private operatives (at black-op sites) that there wasn't any reliable intelligence that pointed to operational ties between bin Laden and Saddam, and that no such ties existed because the two were fundamentally enemies, not allies."
Still, Bush, Cheney, and senior Bush administration officials "blew that off and kept insisting that the interrogators weren't pushing hard enough, that there had to be some way to get that information;" like pushing harder. Cheney also claimed that the some of the innocent persons who found themselves in the CIA's torture programs were "put in places where we could proceed" with the devastating interrogation program find out what they knew. The travesty, besides torturing human beings, is that an overwhelming percentage of Americans agree with Cheney and think torture is justified.
According to a recent Washington Post/ABC poll, the despicable majority of Americans believe Bush and Cheney and do not classify the CIA's techniques as torture; 59% of the barbaric population thought the inhumane treatment and illegal acts of torture were justified. If those statistics are not shameful enough, America's Christians were more likely than the general public to support acts of torture. According to the polling, 69% of white evangelicals believe the CIA treatment was biblically justified, compared to just 20% who said it was not. It gets worse as fully three-quarters (75%) of white non-evangelical Protestants said CIA treatment was justified; white Catholics were just as barbaric and believe the treatment was justified by a 66-23% margin."
The idea that millions of Christians in the United States believe in, and support, torture as a justifiable Christian activity belies their claim to be "followers of Christ." It is true that there are historical examples of Christians embracing brutal interrogation techniques, but it is now, like it was then, in opposition to Christ's teachings. In 1252, Pope Innocent IV formally sanctioned torture as a means of extracting "truth" from "suspects" during the Medieval Inquisition, and the Church perpetuated the practice during the Spanish Inquisition. In both cases, people the Church "suspected" were heretics (terrorists) and innocent were strapped to a rack
and had their limbs ripped off.
Many of the religious right leaders who support torture justify the CIA and Bush administration acts of inhumanity cited the Old Testament as a valid reason to torture Muslims regardless if 25% of them were innocent. Their contention is that in order to save lives, innocent Muslims had to "forfeit their right to life and dignity," even though torturing "unlawful (innocent) enemy combatants" did not save lives. But that is apparently the privilege of being an American evangelical; free reign to abuse Muslims at will and with government-authorized immunity from prosecution. Hopefully the rest of the world's governments take legal action against this exceptional nation's former leaders; whether they claim bible immunity or not. One thing is now abundantly clear and beyond refute; there are very few followers of Christ in America and it is exactly as one might expect from a barbaric population.

TV Series News – Sherlock Holmes 3 Might Be Moving Forward With A Surprising New Director
In the eight years since Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows came out, Guy Ritchie's been keeping busy with The Man from U.N.C.L.E., King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and Aladdin. While some might have logically thought he'd sit back in the director's chair for Sherlock Holmes 3, evidently that's not the case, although Variety doesn't mention why specifically Ritchie isn't returning. Maybe Disney has already courted him to direct an Aladdin sequel or two?
Instead, Dexter Fletcher has reportedly signed on to oversee the next adventure starring Robert Downey Jr's incarnation of Arthur Conan Doyle's popular detective. Fletcher's directorial career has taken off in the last several years, as along with helming this past May's Rocketman and Eddie the Eagle in 2016, he also directed Bohemian Rhapsody in Bryan Singer's place during the final two weeks of filming, for which he received an executive producer credit.
Needless to say that Sherlock Holmes 3 would be another big step forward for his behind-the-camera resume. Along with the first two Sherlock Holmes movies in this series earning a decent amount of positive reviews, they've also performed solidly on the commercial scale, taking in $524 million and $545.4 million worldwide, respectively. It'll be interesting to see what kind of unique sensibilities Dexter Fletcher can infuse into Sherlock Holmes 3 while still honoring the tone/feel that Guy Ritchie delivered in the predecessors.
Along with Robert Downey Jr. obviously being back, Jude Law is also expected to reprise Dr. John Watson in Sherlock Holmes 3 , but no other cast members have been announced yet. Chris Brancato wrote the script, and Susan Downey, Joel Silver, Dan Lin and Lionel Wigram are producing.
When we last left off with Sherlock Homes in A Game of Shadows, he was believed to have died falling off Reichenbach Falls to defeat his arch-nemesis, Professor James Moriarty. However, like his literary counterpart, he survived his fall and subtly clued John Watson in on this. By the time Sherlock Holmes 3 comes out, it will have been a full decade since A Game of Shadows was released, so presumably a similar amount of time will have passed in this fictional world. Beyond that, it's unclear what the story will be about.

Bronchitis is an inflammation or obstruction in the bronchial tubes. This inflammation results in a buildup of mucus, along with coughing, fever, pain in the chest area and / or back, fatigue, sore throat, difficulty breathing, and, often, sudden chills and shaking. Bronchospasm, a contraction of the smooth muscle in the walls of the bronchi, may also occur. Swelling of the mucous membranes and hypersecretion by the bronchial glands frequently accompany bronchospasm. In this page you will find many acute bronchitis natural cures.
Bronchitis can be either acute or chronic.
Acute bronchitis is usually cause by an infection, which can be bacterial, viral, chlamydial, mycoplasmal, or caused by combination of agents. It typically follows an upper respiratory tract infection, such as a cold or influenza. In acute bronchitis, bronchospasm is more often associated with viral (rather then bacterial) infection.
Most cases of acute bronchitis are self-limiting, with full recovery in a matter of weeks. But recovery time can be shorten by using acute bronchitis home remedies. In some cases, however, the condition can lead to pneumonia. This is more likely to occur in those who also have chronic respiratory disease or other debilitating health problems.
Chronic bronchitis results from frequent irritation of the lungs, such as from exposure to cigarette smoke, air pollutants, or other noxious fumes, rather than from infection. Allergies may also be the cause of chronic bronchitis. Chronic bronchitis diminishes the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs, so the heart works harder in an attempt to compensate. Over time, this can lead to pulmonary hypertension, enlargement of the heart, and ultimately heart failure.
Asthma bronchitis naturist treatment are very common and this page was created to offer you an alternative or complementary treatment for asthma bronchitis. Herbal medicine has proven to be very effective in the treatment of acute and chronic bronchitis. The following treatments may be very useful in alleviating some of the symptoms.

10 Best Anthony Hopkins Movies
anthony hopkins Sir Anthony Hopkins The Silence of the Lambs
By Taylor Sanders
Anthony Hopkins is a one-of-a-kind actor. Of course, he is best known for his turn as the terrifying Hannibal Lecter from the film The Silence of the Lambs—as well as its sequels Hannibal and Red Dragon. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance as Lecter in the first film — it remains his only Academy Award to date, though he has been nominated four times in total. In 2006, he was given the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes for his contribution to film at large. Hopkins is also well-known for some more recent performances. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe he plays Odin, Thor (Chris Hemsworth)'s father. Hopkins plays an integral role in the hit HBO series Westworld as well. Indeed, he has filled a number of memorable and beloved characters throughout his decades in the film industry. Below you'll find ten of his best films to date.
The Silence of the Lambs occurred too late in Hopkins' career to be called his "breakout role," though it is certainly what he continues to be best known for. He, as incarcerated psychopath Hannibal Lecter, and Jodie Foster, as FBI Agent Clarice Starling, play off each other so well. It's no wonder the film is such a classic.
Purchase now on Amazon.
Francis Ford Coppola's take on Bram Stoker's Dracula is one for the ages. The film is filled with incredible setpieces and campy performances. Hopkins plays Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, the well-known adversary of Count Dracula. Even for an established director like Coppola, Dracula is easily one of his most impressive films.
The Elephant Man (1980)
The Elephant Man is far and away the most straightforward film of director David Lynch's career. The late John Hurt plays the eponymous "Elephant Man" John Merrick, a kind but severely deformed nineteenth-century man who comes into the care of Dr. Frederick Treves (Hopkins). The two form a unique bond in the beautiful, thoughtful film.
The Remains of the Day (1993)
In The Remains of the Day, Hopkins plays an uptight butler under the employ of a British Lord. His life is thrown into emotionally-repressed chaos by a new housekeeper (Emma Thompson). The expansive, powerful, heartbreaking film spans decades from the interwar period to the postwar period.
Amistad (1997)
Steven Spielberg's Amistad brings back to life the story of a slave uprising aboard the ship La Amistad during its voyage from Cuba to the United States in 1839. Hopkins plays former president John Quincy Adams in the film, which is often touted as one of Spielberg's best, especially with regards to his historical films.
The Mask of Zorro (1998)
Hopkins is an integral part of The Mask of Zorro. In typical fashion, he plays Don Diego de la Vega, the aging vigilante known as Zorro, who is in need of a successor. He finds one in Alejandro Murrieta (Antonio Banderas). It is an exciting film, perhaps the most fun in Hopkins' body of work.
Hannibal (2001)
The follow-up to The Silence of the Lambs is simply called Hannibal after its central protagonist. It is admittedly weaker than its predecessor but nonetheless a sturdy film, directed by Ridley Scott. Part of its problem stems from Jodie Foster refusing to return to the series. She is replaced by Julianne Moore as FBI Agent Clarice Starling. It is difficult to go into more detail without spoiling the events of the previous film — but it is a thoroughly watchable although inessential sequel.
Mission: Impossible II (2000)
In John Woo's volatile entry to the Mission: Impossible franchise, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is called upon to successfully perform another so-called impossible mission. It involves, among many things, a double agent and his swindler ex-girlfriend. Hunt receives the mission from Mission Commander Swanbeck, who is played by Hopkins. It is a small but memorable part of the exciting early episode of the series.
Before Universal Pictures' new expanded world of monsters known as the Dark Universe began, director Joe Johnston took on a remake of the 1941 classic film The Wolfman. Benicio del Toro stars as the eponymous werewolf Lawrence Talbot. Hopkins plays Sir John Talbot, Lawrence's father. Though the film performed quite poorly at the box office, it was well-liked by many critics.
Beowulf (2007)
Robert Zemeckis' Beowulf is, if nothing else, valuable a piece of cultural history. It was animated via motion capture technology in the same way as Zemeckis' previous film Polar Express and his later one, A Christmas Carol. It achieves a strange not-quite-real look to it, almost like a video game cutscene. Hopkins plays King Hrothgar, who asks Beowulf (Ray Winstone) to slay the antagonist Grendel. Beowulf is a strange but captivating film.

Jerry Ball RAS
Jerry Ball was drafted by Lions with pick 63 in round 3 in the 1987 NFL Draft out of Southern Methodist.
This player was selected to at least one pro bowl in his career.
This player put up 7.5 sacks or more in a single season at least once in his NFL career.
He had a recorded height of 6001 that season, recorded as XYYZ where X is feet, YY is inches, and Z is eighths of an inch. That correlates to 6 feet, 0 and 1/8 of an inch or 72.125 inches, or 183.1975 centimeters. This correlates to a 0.0 score out of 10.0.
He recorded a weight of 292 in pounds, which is approximately 132 kilograms. This correlates to a 10.0 score out of 10.0.
At the Combine, he recorded a 40 yard dash of 5.14 seconds. This was a difference of 0.09 seconds from his projected time. This forty time correlates to a 0.0 score out of 10.0.
Using Bill Barnwell's calculation, this Combine 40 time gave him a Speed Score of 83.67.
The time traveled between the 20 and 40 yard lines is known as the Flying Twenty. As the distance is also known, we can calculate the player's speed over that distance. The time he traveled the last twenty yards at the Combine was 2.17 seconds. Over 20 yards, we can calculate his speed in yards per second to 9.22. Taking into account the distance in feet (60 feet), we can calculate his speed in feet per second to 27.65. Breaking it down further, we can calculate his speed in inches per second to 331.8. Knowing the feet per second of 27.65, we can calculate the approximate miles per hour by multiplying that value by 0.681818 to give us a calculated MPH of 18.9 in the last 20 yards of his run.
At the Combine, he recorded a 20 yard split of 2.97 seconds. This correlates to a 0.0 score out of 10.0.
We can calculate the speed traveled over the second ten yards of the 40 yard dash easily, as the distance and time are both known. The time he traveled the second ten yards at the Combine was 1.19 seconds. Over 10 yards, we can calculate his speed in yards per second to 8.4. Taking into account the distance in feet (30 feet), we can calculate his speed in feet per second to 25.21. Breaking it down further, we can calculate his speed in inches per second to 302.52. Knowing the feet per second of 25.21, we can calculate the approximate miles per hour by multiplying that value by 0.681818 to give us a calculated MPH of 17.2 in the second ten yards of his run.
The time he traveled the first ten yards at the Combine was 1.78 seconds. Over 10 yards, we can calculate his speed in yards per second to 6.0. Taking into account the distance in feet (30 feet), we can calculate his speed in feet per second to 17.0. Breaking it down further, we can calculate his speed in inches per second to 202.0. Knowing the feet per second of 17.0, we can calculate the approximate miles per hour by multiplying that value by 0.681818 to give us a calculated MPH of 11.6 in the first ten yards of his run.
At the Combine, he recorded a bench press of 23 repetitions of 225 pounds. This correlates to a 8.67 score out of 10.0.
At the Combine, he recorded a vertical jump of 24.0 inches. This correlates to a 0.0 score out of 10.0.
At the Combine, he recorded a broad jump of 800, which is recorded as FII or FFII . where F is feet and I is inches. This correlates to a 1.67 score out of 10.0.
At the Combine, he recorded a 5-10-5 or 20 yard short shuttle of 4.77 seconds. This correlates to a 1.67 score out of 10.0.
This player did not record any measurements at their pro day that we were able to find. If they recorded Combine measurements, they stood on them.

Baltimore writer describes life in the death business, her 9 years at a city funeral home
Posted on May 29, 2013 by atomictv
(The Washington Post, 5/29/2013)
Sheri Booker was 15 when she got a summer job at a West Baltimore funeral home. In the beginning, she answered phones and babysat bodies, showing guests into the funeral home's viewing room. But over the next nine years she was given almost every task, from writing obituaries and driving a hearse to lifting bodies and painting women's fingernails.
In "Nine Years Under," Booker describes her life in the death business. The result is alternately creepy and captivating, drawing readers in with the same you-can't-not-look quality of a highway crash.

Nine Years Under: Coming of Age in an Inner-City Funeral Home
Six Feet Under meets The Wire in a dazzling and darkly comic memoir about coming-of-age in a black funeral home in Baltimore
Sheri Booker was only fifteen years old when she started working at Wylie Funeral Home in West Baltimore. She had no idea that her summer job would become nine years of immersion in a hidden world. Reeling from the death of her beloved great aunt, she found comfort in the funeral home, and soon has the run of the place, from its sacred chapels to the terrifying embalming room.
With AIDS and gang violence threatening to wipe out a generation of black men, Wylie was never short on business. As families came together to bury one of their own, Booker was privy to their most intimate moments of grief and despair. But along with the sadness, Booker encountered moments of dark humor: brawls between mistresses and widows, and car crashes at McDonald's with dead bodies in tow. While she never got over her terror of the embalming room, Booker learned to expect the unexpected and to never, ever cry.
This vibrant tour of a macabre world reveals an urban funeral culture where photo-screened memorial T-shirts often replace suits and ties and the dead are sent off with a joint or a fifth of cognac. Nine Years Under offers readers an unbelievable glimpse into an industry in the backdrop of all our lives.

Q: Can this determinant expression ever equal $0$? My issue is that when calculating the eigenvalues of a matrix, there are cases where the eigenvalue is $0$, and so I was trying to confirm this by calculating the determinant and checking when it is equal to $0$.
The setup is: $a^2 - 4bc \neq 0$, $bc \neq 0$, $(a,b,c) \in \mathbb R^3$, and $n \geq 1$ is an integer
and I have this expression:
\begin{equation}
\dfrac1{\sqrt{a^2-4bc}} \left( \left( \dfrac{a + \sqrt{a^2-4bc}}2\right)^{n+1} - \left( \dfrac{a - \sqrt{a^2-4bc}}2\right)^{n+1}\right) = 0
\end{equation}
Which I simplified to
\begin{equation}
  \left( \dfrac{a + \sqrt{a^2-4bc}}2\right)^{n+1} = \left( \dfrac{a - \sqrt{a^2-4bc}}2\right)^{n+1} \implies \sqrt{a^2-4bc} = -\sqrt{a^2-4bc}
\end{equation}
From here, I am unsure how to get a solution, since $a^2 - 4bc \neq 0$, and for real numbers, $x$, I think the only case for $+x = -x$ is when $x = 0$, which is not true here. So since the square root can be complex, I am unsure if there are cases where this can be true.
The eigenvalue expression is
\begin{equation}
\lambda_k = a + 2b\sqrt{\frac{c}{b}}\text{cos}(\frac{k\pi}{n+1}), \qquad k \in \{1, \dots, n\}
\end{equation}
I am not experienced with complex numbers, but using the eigenvalue equations, it seems like the case of $b = 1 \text{, } c = 1, a= -2\cdot\text{cos}(\frac{1\pi}{n+1})$ (for any $n$, but I used $n = 5$), should lead to a $0$ determinant/singular matrix, but this results (for $n=5$) in $a^2 - 4bc = -1$, and so it'd require $\sqrt{-1} = -\sqrt{-1}$, but I can't see how that'd be true.
Thanks in advance for the help! (Also if you want to see the matrix I am working with, this question has the determinant expression: How to compute the determinant of a tridiagonal matrix with constant diagonals?)

A: From $$\left(\frac{a+\sqrt{a^2-4bc}}2\right)^{n+1}=\left(\frac{a-\sqrt{a^2-4bc}}2\right)^{n+1} $$
we get, by dividing by the non-zero(!) rught hand side
$$ \left(\frac{a+\sqrt{a^2-4bc}}{a-\sqrt{a^2-4bc}}\right)^{n+1}=1,$$
or after making the denominator rational,
$$ \left(\frac{(a+\sqrt{a^2-4bc})^2}{4bc}\right)^{n+1}=1,$$
so the condition is rather
$$ \tag1\frac{(a+\sqrt{a^2-4bc})^2}{4bc}=e^{\frac{2k\pi i}{n+1}},\quad 0\le k\le n.$$
Now distinguish cases depending on the value of $bc$.
If $bc<0$, the left hand side in $(1)$ is real and negative,  and we arrive at
$$ \left|a+\sqrt{a^2-4bc}\right|=2\sqrt{-bc},\quad n\text{ odd}, k=\frac{n+1}2.$$
If $0<bc<\frac14a^2$, the left hand side in $(1)$ is real and positive, and we arrive at
$$ \left|a+\sqrt{a^2-4bc}\right|=2\sqrt{bc},\quad n\text{ arbitrary}, k=0.$$
Finally, if $bc>\frac14a^2$, we really encounter complex solutions, namely for
$$ a=\sqrt{4bc}\cos \phi, \quad(n+1)\phi\equiv 0\pmod{2\pi}.$$

… Not a Military Accident, but an Interesting Glimpse into the Hazards of Early Commercial Aviation in Maine!
While manning the Maine Aviation Historical Society's booth at the Annual Greenville Seaplane Fly-In in 1999, I was approached by a local who asked about a military crash site near Mud Pond in the Morkill Section of the Canadian Pacific Railroad tracks east of town. I was not aware of any such incident, but he told me that he had found some wreckage near the pond while hunting several years earlier and had been told that it was the wreckage of an "RCAF mail plane from the 1930s".
Upon returning home, I reviewed the research of Jim Chichetto and Larry Webster, which contains an extensive list of military and civilian aircraft accidents in Maine and came up empty. I also consulted with Leo Boyle, the grandfather of Maine aviation history who offered a few leads that turned out to have occurred nowhere near this location. Interestingly, there was an "unknown" wreckage listed near these coordinates on an old 1960s Scott Air Force Base Crash Wreckage Locator List that I had in my files. It gave a crash date of 1938.
I conducted a follow-up phone interview with the original witness and confirmed the location of the wreckage that he found and a description of the airframe materials. He recalled no markings. After this, the unthinkable happened. I converted to a waterproof notebook for my crash site vest and managed to misplace the pocket notebook that I had in Greenville that day!
Over the intervening years, my work on this case has been limited to scanning R.W. Walkers RCAF Serial Number research project web site for a suspect incident, a few afternoons of newspaper research in local libraries and a single non-productive ground search for the wreckage in the fall of 2009.
Like many recent breaks that I have had in my research, this one came from an e-mail from a visitor to my web site in 2010. He said that he had read about the crash in a book that he had at his camp about the history of the Canadian Pacific Railroad. With the camp not accessible in winter, I had to wait until he returned to look up the details, but the mystery was quickly solved once he did.
The wreckage is that of Canadian Airways LTD Fairchild 71 CF-AAX which crashed on Christmas Eve 1930.
At the time, Canadian Airways, and its predecessor, International Airways of Canada operated an air mail route between Montreal, Quebec and St. John, New Brunswick. Navigation was both primitive and simple. It involved following the Canadian Pacific International of Maine railroad track across Maine and having a series of railroad station agents collect weather information from stations further up the line by telegraph. They would lay out white panel markers to pass this information on to pilots. A square for "good weather", triangle for "fair-pilots discretion" and an "X" for "poor weather, turn back". Most of the pilots used along this route were RAF veterans from WW I. They greatly disliked the part of the route across the interior of Maine due to its wooded character and lack of areas for emergency landings in case of trouble. This lead to pilots referring to the Maine section of the route as "The Bloody Khyber Pass" after the historically fought over and difficult to fly mountain pass between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
On December 24, 1930 Pilot "Babe" Woollett and Flight Mechanic Al Parker were en route from St. John back to Montreal. The Fairchild 71 had two fuel tanks and it had become common practice to allow one to run completely out and to switch tanks in time to allow the engine to "catch" again. This usually worked, but not that day. Unable to get the engine started again, Babe made a forced landing in the brush between the tracks and the pond. He and Al walked out to the tracks with minor injuries and flagged down a passing freight train. The aircraft was written off.

As the ads on the Internet and the barker at the port would probably tell you, one simply does not get any accommodation priced lower than a thousand bucks near Station 2. And then I saw this while hanging on the back of a tricycle scouting for accommodations. The banner is large enough for you to get a good glimpse of the overnight prices: USD8 - off peak; USD10 - peak; USD12 - super peak. And so I made up my mind to check it out after purchasing my sea walk package at White Blue where a room, just a few steps away from the beach, was also up for grabs for PhP800. I chose the backpacker's dorm. Why? Well it was definitely an issue of price. I paid less than PhP700 for two nights here, and it is also just within walking distance from White Beach through D' Mall. Not bad.
What is the real deal? You get a bunk on one of more than ten double bunk beds spread across two room wings: the first one of which flows directly to the foyer where there are also two double deck beds behind a cabinet of souvenirs and a desk; and the other separated from the first wing by a door. The only shower and toilet inside is in the second wing. There are three additional shower/toilets outside. The inn occupies the whole second floor under which are three different establishments next to Paddles Up Café where you can loiter for free Internet because the rooms are not yet Wi-Fi enabled. This issue should be fixed by the management fast because Internet nowadays is really a necessity.
Another suggestion would be LOCKERS. They are really necessary in a dorm-type accommodation setting where people come and go as they please and with nothing preventing another klepto guest from pocketing your laptop (such big pockets those pants have!). This is why I had to resort to bringing my laptop with me everywhere I went. Yes, even during the cliff dive and the sea walk! Another alternative is to leave it at the café. Anyway, I love this inn because of the location. Come on, less than 400 bucks at Station 2? Not bad at all. It is a real steal considering the location! I bet a lot of improvements based on feedback would follow given that the place is fairly new.

Bighorn Blown
By Grist staff on May 2, 2003
The U.S. Forest Service has settled a lawsuit with eight former and current workers from Bighorn National Forest who suffered on-the-job retaliation after complaining about hostile working conditions and questionable forest-management practices. The $200,000 settlement will be divided among the whistleblowers, but the USFS will not discipline the managers who were responsible for the retaliatory acts. Nine years ago, the workers raised alarms about Forest Supervisor Larry Keown and other managers, saying they allowed ranchers to overgraze public land, failed to meet the goals of reforestation plans, and green-lighted timber harvests in the absence of environmental impact studies. In the end, just two of the whistleblowers remained on the job, after reorganizations they say were clearly designed to oust them.

Zambia–Zimbabwe relations are bilateral relations between Zambia and Zimbabwe, two neighbouring states in Southern Africa.

From 1953 to 1963 they were, along with Nyasaland (now Malawi) part of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland.

Initially the two countries had good relations after gaining independence. However, relations became strained in 2008 as Zambia, like Botswana, reported similar 'smear campaigns' against the Zambian government by Zimbabwe's state owned media, claiming it was "hired by Britain to press for a speedy regime change in Harare." The foreign affairs minister, Kabinga Pande, said it had lodged a protest against Zimbabwe, against the "sustained malicious campaign against Zambia."

Following the controversial Zimbabwean presidential election of 2008, Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa described Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe as a "regional embarrassment". Post-2008, tensions thawed with Michael Sata affectionately referring to Mugabe as "Sekuru" in 2013 at a UNWTO event hosted in Victoria Falls.

Written by a retired police officer who wishes to remain anonymous.
I wanted to be a police officer. I applied, and became one. The city I chose to work for was well-known for its violence. Despite attending a "tough" and "demanding" academy, I was woefully unprepared.
I was excited to work this job. They said, "stay on the south side it will be busy." A constant array of shootings, stabbings, domestic violence, vehicle pursuits, and assaults of all kinds confirmed this to be true. I was in the front row, seeing it all. I was indeed busy.
As a young officer and a young man, I was taught that drugs are an evil, and we must declare war on them. In the course of my employment I would learn differently. From day one I started my study of human nature, and conducted thousands of informal surveys. Tragedy and trauma were my baptism in this new and strange culture. At the focal point was the issue of drugs, prescribed and not prescribed.
I sought different assignments and got them. I investigated crimes against children; I also conducted domestic violence investigations, missing persons, and a slew of whatever else they threw at you. I was also privileged, in my career, to work among the addicted, the homeless and the mentally ill. I did many things in my career, but I actively sought these groups out. I tended to them, and I arrested them.
My most favored assignment was working and spending time with the mentally ill and addicted. I heard story after story of physical abuse, sexual abuse, trauma of all types, and even abandonment. I talked with prostitutes and listened to their horrid stories. I also spoke with veterans of wars, those of all walks of life, and those who suffered PTSD. Schizophrenia, oppositional defiant disorder, suicidal issues, and personality disorders were prevalent.
I learned that these people used drugs of all types. And, in the final analysis, they were self-medicating. In these people's life, and as I started to pull my own mask off, drugs were an out. A moment of not having to endure some form of hideous emotional pain, or a review of their reality.
Drugs were the medicine, but not the cure. And criminalizing this problem is not the answer.
Police models do not typically take into account any serious mental health model. As I advocated for the mentally ill, I was met with stiff resistance, and all kinds of biases. Again, I was slowly peeling the mask away-it hurt. Far too many people were being invalidated and still are. The police are even invalidated by their own-at all levels.
In the end, what really happened? Well, it was an experience about myself. I learned that it can be a tough thing and a good thing to have to look into the mirror, I had to exercise self-care. The first thing I had to do was chase the suicidal thoughts from my head. Then, as I took off my mask, I had to acknowledge my own PTSD, my own traumas, my own disassociations, and of my inept bonding issues.
This world of sickness had brought me to my knees.
In the end I did it. I pulled off the mask. The world, while not perfect, is now a better place for me. Somedays I wonder if it would have been easier to suppress all this stuff. The answer is no. Please pull of the mask. Life without the mask is better. And, it's just the beginning.


Colin Chapman was a rather reluctant employee of the British Aluminium Company Ltd, but spent his spare time he designed and built special, lightweight sports cars. He was an avid reader and would read every piece of information, however small, on the particular subject that had his attention at the time. His car designs started with so called "Specials", based on Austin Sevens, for trials and hill climb competitions. He was so inundated with requests from other competitors to them a copy that he started doing so. This led to requests from circuit racers and Colin's interest in club racing grew rapidly.
Starting a small business, which he worked on in the evenings, Chapman started putting his designs into production. The mark VI was first car Lotus put on sale, it was in sold in kit form and introduced the term "space frame" to British buyers. Working out of a small premises in Hornsey, North London, Chapman slowly built up his reputation for entirely functional, nimble and amazingly efficient cars which were also a little fragile.
The MkVI was a good car in its mechanical aspect but it had the aerodynamic qualities of a brick. One of the part time employees, Mike Costin, had a brother who was working for De Havilland Aircraft co. as an aerodynamicist and Chapman sweat-talked Frank Costin into consulting on the bodywork designs. Costin treated the MkVI as a ideological challenge and developed the MkVI panels into a more elegant car. Following Lotus cars had ever more attractive, efficient and unique bodies which, mated to Chapman's intuitive mechanics produced almost unbeatable racing cars.
The Lotus Eleven, launched early in 1956, was an amazingly advanced design. The rigid spaceframe chassis had stressed skin panels bonded to it and the enveloping bodywork was not only beautiful but incredibly functional. Chapman was well known for his philosophy that each part should do two jobs at the same time and have no more mass than needed to do the job. This formed the basis of Lotus' reputation for 'scientifically designed', but fragile, cars.
Costin's work on the body went along with this idea. The the aerodynamic body (tested by the magazine "Road & Track" who calculated it needed just 9hp to push it along at 60 mph), not only aided in stiffening the tubular space frame but also hinged at both ends giving the mechanics quick and complete access. The use of a spaceframe chassis wasn't exactly novel, as it was originally used in aircraft design. Jaguar's 1951 for the "C" type and Mercedes 1952 300sl both also used a spaceframe chassis. But it took Chapman to design a chassis weighing just 56lbs, even with the stressed skin on it stayed under 70lbs. He hit the sweet spot both aerodynamically and in power to weight ratio terms too. The engine was usually a 1,100cc Climax FWA engine it had an impressive power-to-weight-ratio in the region of 204 bhp per ton.
The Eleven had tenacious grip from a front suspension modified from very humble Ford "Popular" parts and a live rear axle with de Dion tube location. The cheaper "club" version had an Austin live rear axle and drum brakes all around, Girling disc brakes were the norm on the "Le Mans" spec cars. 1957 Series two cars had more forgiving and consistent front end courtesy of double A-arms, Lotus 12 style.
Always quick and agile the Lotus Eleven was available in a range of versions with several different engine options. The le Mans and Club versions had 1100cc Climax engines the le Mans had the 1500cc Climax option too. The Sport used a 1172 cc Ford engine. This three model option was an important step for Lotus as Chapman wanted the car to sell not only for the different areas of club circuit racing but for public use on the roads; increasing sales and thus better funding for the racing car designs.
It was also important in another way too as it marked the start of the Lotus tradition of naming cars starting with the letters "El" (Elan, Elise etc), and latter simply starting with E (Esprit, Eclat).
The obsessive nature of both Chapman and Costin made the Lotus Eleven (which should also be written in letters not numbers), the technical pinnacle of automotive design. No compromises, no shortcuts.
Such was the combined effect of good horsepower, low weight, unmatched aerodynamics, powerful brakes and exemplary road-holding, that rival designers were at once dismayed and astounded. As car followers they couldn't help but admire the lines of the car; as competitors they were stunned by the performance and at a loss for how to match it. Unreliability was the one factor that might come into play. Poorly maintained or excessively over driven Elevens did show signs of stress failures in the chassis and component breakages, Chapman himself always seemed remarkable undisturbed by criticism of fragility levelled at the Lotus.
The race drivers of the day saw the eleven as THE car for winning races, amateur racing enthusiasts rushed to order the new Eleven and the bookies soon saw the Eleven as favourite to win almost any race they were entered in. It wasn't long before the cars results were backing up those ideas.
In the 1956 season the Elevens scored at least 148 race wins. At the 1956 24 hours of Le Mans the quick and agile Eleven proved it could also last the distance. Reg Bicknell & Peter Jopp drove their Eleven to finish seventh overall and win the 1100cc sports car class.
They went even better in 1957 with new wrap around windshield cars, the American crew of Mackay-Fraser and Chamberlain recording an average speed of 99.08 mph on their way to 8th overall. In fact all four team cars finished. Walshaw & Dalton finished 13th, Hall & Allison were 14th & 1st in 750cc sports class, (and averaged 90 mph to win index of performance) while Masson & André Héchard finished 16th overall.
Also a specially streamlined Eleven, modified by Costin to have a bubble canopy over the cockpit, was driven by Stirling Moss, and at different times "Mac" Fraser, to set a series of closed track world speed records at Monza. The 1,100cc car covered 100km at 135mph with a fastest lap of 143 mph (230km/h).
For the seasons from 1956 to 1958 the Eleven reigned supreme in its class and even in 1959 it could still hold it's own. Later some of the cars were fitted with a closed body and gullwing doors to race in GT specifications.
It is fair to say this tiny, front-engined sports car with two seats (and a very minimal level of weather protection) was an instant success. Chapman, a peerless self-publicist, was soon claiming that Lotus was building this car at a rate of four cars every week. For sure Chapman's neighbours Progress Chassis Co. and Williams & Pritchard were turning out chassis and body panels at a fair rate as sales of built cars and kits grew rapidly. It is believed, including all versions, that around 270 Elevens were built or sold as kits. These numbers mark the Eleven as Lotus' most successful race car design and firmly established Lotus as serious competition car makers.
If the sincerest form of flattery is imitation then the Eleven is a roaring success as the Kokopelli 11, the Challenger GTS, the Spartak and the best known Westfield XI are all Lotus Eleven replicas or re-creations.
Two Lotus Eleven chassis have carried the registration number DEC 494 and their stories are linked by more than just being Lotus Elevens.
Chassis # 173 was built early in 1956 and was soon racing, entered regularly by Team Lotus. More often than not the car was driven by a new driver Chapman himself had spotted, Cliff Allison. During his 1956 season, which ran from 2nd of April to 21st of October 1956, Allison took 4 wins in the car always entered by Team lotus.
But the car was driven by others too, including Graham Hill for one, and it is one of Hill's drives we have chosen to replicate with our model.
On 29th of April 1956 Graham Hill drove this car to 1st place in the 12 lap Brands Hatch National sports (1.2L class) car race, his winning speed being 69.750kph. On the same day Hill also drove the car in the sports (1.5L class) car race and finished 2nd to Reg Bicknell's larger engined Lotus11.
The second chassis, chassis #211, linked by the registration number was also a Cliff Allison driven car and Allison would have his own part to play in further linking the two chassis.
Lotus Eleven, model nomenclature 11/model S1 LMW, chassis #211 was built in July 1956 as one of a special group of Elevens built especially for racing in the Grand Prix d'Endurance that is the 24 heures du Mans on the 28-29th July 1956. This chassis was driven by Cliff Allison and Keith Hall carrying the race number '35' while two other Lotus team cars were also entered, Colin Chapman himself driving one with Herbert Mackay-Frazer.
There are some stories around this car and the race that stand out in history for quite different reasons. Firstly the registration number 'DEC 494' belonged to the Cliff Allison Lotus Eleven, chassis #173. As Le Mans regulations require the cars to have a road registration number to compete Allison suggested "you can use the number of my car, nobody will know", Of course historically we do know and that the same registration number was used by Lotus in other races to!
As for the '56 Le Mans race the Allison/Hall car was on its 90th lap when very large Alsatian dog suddenly appeared out of the misty night on the Mulsanne Straight. Cliff moved right to avoid the dog just as it changed it's mind and turned round to move right too!
Colin Chapman's car, carrying number '32', ran for 172 laps before its engine failed.
This car later carried the same registration number when Ian Smith and Tim Martin drove the car for a trial from Lands end to John O'Groats which resulted in an average speed for the 892 miles of 51.06 mph. The duo had to travel back to Wick to fill up the fuel tank and found that, having used 23.75 gallons for the extended distance of 915 miles, the Lotus Eleven had given an average fuel mileage of 38.525 mpg. These figures proved to the motoring public that the Lotus Eleven was a viable road going car as well as a racing car.
The Merit kit of the Lotus Eleven was amongst the several contemporary racing car kits issued in the late 1950s and early '60s, most of which feature somewhere in our museum website. J & L Randall Ltd was a British toy manufacturer from Potters Bar, Hertfordshire. Merit was the company's brand for general plastic toys and it's plastic model kit range flourished in the 1950s and 1960s. Merit kits of aeroplanes and ships were also available and the company was heavily into plastic railway accessories. But the the racing cars range is now considered classic and highly sought after today. The range consisted of 14 cars from the 1940s and '50s, two of them (the Alfa 158 and the Talbot-Lago), were sold as 'superkits' and had engine detail.
A French company called Sitaplex also released some of the Merit road and race cars in the 1960s. They were a contract moulding company and also released some Heller kits. Mostly remembered for ship and aircraft kits we know the company did release several of the race and road cars, the race cars in boxes similar to the Merit ones and the road cars in Airfix style bags and a red header quite different to the Merit sales material.
These are the ones we know of for certain though there are sure to be others. Lotus Eleven - Ferrari D50 - Rolls-Royce limo.
Bought off ebay in 2015 this model was previously built (hence the before and after photo's) and had obviously been neglected for a long time. One wheel was completely missing, other parts were broken and the whole thing was very dirty. BUT; as these models come up for sale at affordable prices so rarely, as the collectors prices are just too high for a builder to justify, Ian had to take the chance while he could. Of course Ian and Rod have the necessary years of experience to take a built model and restore it to an as new condition.
The kit has been seriously updated by Ian. The cockpit has been detailed with chassis and control details like the gear shift lever, detailed steering wheel and dashboard, and much more in the cockpit area, even the fuel filler, visible externally, links through properly to the tank inside. The chassis is also detailed by the addition of internal structures to block light showing through and a proper radiator in the front of the chassis.
Wanting to make the model more realistic and up to date the Merit body was cut back into the panels as on the real car. Merit's kit is a simple two part upper and lower halves system familiar to older modellers but seldom used these days on high level kits. Cutting and shaping the panels also means a certain amount of plastic loss during the cutting which had to be replaced during the building, as in the during photo's. To add to this effort for realism Ian removed the raised panel lines and scribed in recessed ones, except for the tonneau cover which sits on top of the car body and has a rolled lip edge.
Externally the kit has scratch built fasteners and added rivet detail, as well as the addition of the main body underneath the add on headrest and wrap around cockpit. A new windscreen was fashioned from clear plastic after the original was broken. The technique is to put masking tape over the kit screen, cut it to size then transfer the tape to a clear piece of plastic sheet. This in turn is cut and size and shape before being put in the placed on the model. Other external details needing attention were the door hinges, the amended rear end detailing, the light openings and all the front lights themselves as well as the light covers; even the rear view mirror had to be sourced elsewhere.
One of the things that seriously lets down the old Merit kits is the clear disc and spoke decal system. Great in the late '50s, superseded several times over since then. The best current system is photo etched spokes. Given that the kit had a wheel missing anyway Ian had little choice than to go looking for replacement wheels. The set used are from South Eastern Finecast and were discovered by chance at the 2015 IPMS Scale Model World show by a friend who knew I was looking for something like these (Thanks Alex). They aren't exactly right but they are close and look the part especially given that the wheels are largely covered anyway.
In the end all the work is worth the effort but it takes time and dedication with not a little frustration at times! The way round the frustration is to keep lists of jobs to do and put the model aside when it is too taxing and go away and do a different model. This reduces the chances of getting too upset and throwing the model away while keeping you on track when you return to the build.
In the end what was 20 to 30 part kit turned into a model with so many individual parts Ian lost count of them. The model is painted by airbrush for all the priming (alclad II primer) and main painting. The body colour was mixed to match photo's using Deco-Art acrylic paints. The gloss coat is Plamo standard gloss. Detail painting and washes applied by brush used Citadel acrylics and Humbrol enamels.

In the Module 3, we learned that Credit is a necessary part of our society.
While good credit will help a person improve his or her quality of life, bad credit can hinder his or her ability to do so.
In order to get Good Credit, you need to have Credit.
Having no credit history can be as much of a problem as having a bad credit history.
Opening a Savings and/or Checking account is a good place to start to establish a credit history.
Being as little as 30 days late will show up on your credit report and can negatively affect your credit score.
Credit ratings, even bad ones, can be improved and fixed! The first step is requesting your credit report and verifying all the information is correct and accurate.
Applying for new credit if you've already got plenty.
Asking a creditor to lower your credit limits.

Q: How can I make tx.executeSql() function sync with async/await? How can I make tx.executeSql(SQL, [], (tx, results) be a sync function with sync/await?
I want to do some like this:
tx.executesql is async so my closeDB() (closeDatabase()) doesn't work because transaction is in progress.
await tx.executeSql(sql, [], (tx, results)

but it doesn't work.
(see the outputs)

A: The async/await way to make executeSql():
async function example() {
  let db = await SQLite.openDatabase(
    database_name,
    database_version,
    database_displayname,
    database_size
  );

  await db.transaction(async tx => {
     var [tx, results] = await tx.executeSql("SELECT * from TableName;");
     var row = results.rows.item(0); //get the first row assumed existed.
  });

  await db.close();
}

A: Try implementing it like this, wrapping it in a promise, you should be able to call this function with an await
  insertarDatos = () => {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      db.transaction((tx) => {
        try {
          /* Successful transaction */
          /* Make sure to call resolve when the transaction has finished
          */
          resolve()
        } catch (error) {
          /* Failed transaction */
          // if you reject any eventual errors, you can catch them when calling the function insertarDatos

          reject(error)
        }
      });
    })
  }

Now, if that doesn't work, it may be an issue with your forin. If that's the case, it may be useful to check out this post. It has a native implementation of an async foreach, which could be implemented as follows:
await asyncForEach(userlist, async (user, index) => {
     // do something with user and index

     // you can use await here
})

A: async getSqlitedata(): {
   const data = await dbconn.executeSql("SELECT * from TableName;",[]);
   if (data.rows.lenth >0) {
       console.log(data.rows);
   }
}

it will return a object {rows: {…}, rowsAffected: 0, insertId: undefined}


Firstly, place the saddle forward of the horses wither.
Then slide the saddle back as far as it will comfortable go.
This is determined by the confirmation (shape) of the horse, but the resting point of the saddle should correspond with the lowest point of the horse's back.
The points of the saddle tree should now be located in the natural depression that is found directly behind the horse's scapula (Shoulder).
It's important to get the saddle in the correct position for the horses comfort (to allow maximum weight-bearing efficiency), and your riding position.
A common mistake is to place the saddle too far forward over the horses withers.
This will have the effect of placing the points of the saddle-tree over the horses scapula causing pressure points which could then impede the horses movement. It may also cause saddle sores.
STEP 1 Make sure your horse is standing four square with his head up looking straight ahead. From the near side (left), feel form the top edge of his shoulder-blade (scapula) with your fingers. Lifting the nearside foreleg will help you find the scapula if you are not sure.
STEP 3 Taking this mark as your starting point, mould your flexicurve or a piece of stiff wire up and over the withers.
STEP 5 Lift the flexicurve and put it down gently in exactly the same place it should settle snugly if it has been moulded correctly. Then transfer the shaped flexicurve onto a piece of paper and draw along the inside. Mark the nearside of the pattern on the paper and send to us.
Please use a digital camera and save in GIF or JPEG format (this will make smaller files for e-mail).
OR use a normal camera and, once you have had the pictures developed, scan and attach to your e-mail.
OR post the information to us using normal photographs.

Opening Faceoff: Rangers at Canadiens
By Noah Weiss |
The New York Rangers earned their third win of the season when on Thursday, beating the Arizona Coyotes and former Ranger, Derek Stepan, 5-2. Yes, it took Arizona's third string goalie for the Rangers to score five goals, but it is a win and the Rangers will look to build on that.8:01 into the first period, Chris Kreider stole the puck away from Derek Stepan and passed the puck to Mats Zuccarello, who then gave a nifty drop pass to Kreider who buried his second goal of the season. Then, later in the period, Pavel Buchnevich took advantage of rookie goalie Adin Hill with a sneaky wrist shot from the top of the left circle. In the second period, former Ranger, Anthony Duclair scored on the backhand. Less than a minute later, Michael Grabner scored his second goal of the season on a nice move. Pavel Buchnevich then scored on a yawning net when Adin Hill passed the puck straight to the Ranger. In the third period, Arizona's Clayton Keller scored his seventh goal of the season and seventh point in four games on a power play goal. The score was 4-2, Arizona pulled Adin Hill and Michael Grabner scored his second goal of the game on the empty-net.
The fourth line contributed seven of the Rangers' 10 points. Subsequent to his call-up Boo Nieves had three points with Pavel Buchnevich and Michael Grabner two goals a piece.
Keys to a Rangers' victory:
The Montreal Canadiens have had their share of struggles this season. At 2-7-1, the Rangers must be able to take advantage of this opportunity. Carey Price has played abysmal as of late. He possesses a save percentage of .887 and a goals against average of 3.60.
The Rangers need their fourth line to continue their excellent play. If the Rangers want to win, they need depth contributions.
Following a good performance on Thursday, Ondrej Pavelec will start in-goal for the Rangers.
Ondrej Pavelec will start for #NYR tomorrow night in Montreal.
— New York Rangers (@NYRangers) October 27, 2017
Montreal Canadiens forward Ales Hemsky is dealing with concussion-like symptoms and will likely not play against the Rangers.

When is St. David's Day and what is the history behind it?
It is a time to celebrate the patron saint of Wales It is a time to celebrate the patron saint of Wales

In a matter of weeks St. David's Day, otherwise known as Dydd Gŵyl Dewi, will be celebrated.
It is the first day of the year that Britain honours one of its four patron saints - the others being St. Patrick for Northern Ireland, St. Andrew for Scotland and St. George for England.
People in Wales - and those of Welsh descent in other parts of the world - will mark the day with culinary delights and celebrations.
Here is everything you need to know about St. David's life and why we celebrate the patron.
When is St. David's day?
St. David's Day is celebrated on March, 1 the same day as the patron saint's death. It is not a national holiday in the UK.
In 2007, former Prime Minister Tony Blair, rejected calls for it to become a public holiday, despite a poll revealing that 87% of Welsh people were in favour.
Who was St David?
The exact date of his birth is unknown, but it is believed to have been around 1,500 years ago.
St. David was born on the Pembrokeshire cliffs during a wild thunderstorm, and legend has it that he was the son of Sant (aka Sanctus), king of Ceredigion and a nun named Nonnita (Non).
However, some historians dispute this and believe that his parents descended from Welsh royalty.
According to the History Magazine, in medieval times it was widely understood that St. David was the nephew of King Arthur. Legend has it that the patron saint of Ireland, St Patrick, foresaw the birth of David in 520AD.
As a young man St. David became a monk and is said to have founded a monastery close to his brithplace. The surrounding area is now known as St. Davids.
According to historians, it's believed that St. David's Cathedral and St. David's Bishop's Palace are built on the site of the original monastery.
He travelled widely throughout Wales, parts of England, Brittany in France and possibly to Ireland and Jerusalem. He also founded several churches and monasteries and was eventually named the Archbishop of Wales at the Synod of Brefi (Llanddewi Brefi), Cardiganshire.
St. David died on 1 March 589A.D, he was allegedly more than 100-years-old.
How is St David's Day celebrated?
On the day, a flag of St. David - a yellow cross on a black background - and the national Welsh flag, the Y Ddraig Goch, will be seen across Wales.
There is a National St. David's Day Parade across the centre of Cardiff, which includes live performances from dancers and theatrical groups.
Lamb, mutton and leek dishes are just some of the recipes people cook for the day, which is also known as the feast of St David.
Welsh cakes are also prepared, and can be eaten as a teatime treat or on their own as a snack.
