Blood Vessels and Nerves of the Eye - want to learn more about it?
The human eye is a highly evolved structure of our anatomy and has many coexisting and interdependent elements. It is capable of moving and follow the objects along with accommodating to near and far; the eyes also can see in varying light, and in colour. Our two eyes working together give us stereoscopic vision, and depth perception. This article covers the anatomy, function and clinical relevance of the vessels and nerves of the eye.

The eyeball is filled with vitreous humor, with the aqueous humor lying in the small anterior chamber of the eye. The eye itself is coated with three layers:
the sclera and cornea (opaque and transparent layer respectively)
the choroid (filled with blood vessels)
the retina (with the rod cells for black and white, and the cone cells for colour)
Eyeball - cranial view
The optic nerve feeds in the posterior surface of the eye and carries all visual information from the retina, ultimately to the primary orbital cortex, which lies within the depths of the calcarine sulcus on the occipital lobe of the brain.
The fovea centralis is the region of the retina with a high concentration of cone cells (colour detecting cells). The fovea and the surrounding area are not supplied by direct branches from the ophthalmic artery, and are in fact supplied directly from the choroid. As well as staying wet enough to maintain a transparent layer (tear film), the eye must also be supplied with nutrients, and be able to move for our vision to be effective. The pupil must be able to dilate and constrict to accommodate to light and autonomic stimuli, and the lens must be able to relax and contract for near and far vision.

The eye is supplied by the ophthalmic artery, which is the first branch of the internal carotid artery, when it has travelled passed the cavernous sinus. The ophthalmic artery has numerous branches that supply the muscles that move the eye and surround the eye, the eyelid and the eyeball itself. The branches of the ophthalmic artery are divided into the orbital (supply the orbit and related structures) and the optical group (supply the eye and its muscles).
Ophthalmic artery - lateral-right view
This artery arises from the ophthalmic artery near the optic canal. It runs with the lacrimal nerve to supply the lacrimal gland. The terminal branches of the artery pass through the lacrimal gland and supply the eyelids and conjunctiva as the lateral palpebral arteries, and pass medially to supply the upper and lower eyelids respectively. These arteries then anastomose with the medial palpebral artery and form a complete arterial circle.
Lacrimal artery - lateral-left view
This artery arises from the ophthalmic artery just as it passes over the optic nerve, and runs forwards, along the medial border of levator palpebrae superioris and superior rectus muscles. It then passes through the supraorbital foramen in order to supply the:
upper eyelid
frontal sinus
levator palpebrae superioris
part of the scalp
Supraorbital artery - cranial view
Once the ophthalmic artery reaches the medial wall of the orbit, it runs forwards and gives off the posterior ethmoidal artery. This artery enters the nasal cavity by passing through the posterior ethmoidal canal, and supplies the posterior ethmoidal sinuses as well as continuing to enter the skull and supply the meninges.
Posterior ethmoidal artery - cranial view
This artery branches from the ophthalmic artery within the orbit, and accompanies the nasociliary nerve through the anterior ethmoidal foramen into the middle and anterior air cells as well as the frontal sinus. Before the artery passes into the cranium, it provides a meningeal branch to supply the dura mater. There are also nasal branches that pass into the nasal cavity via a small opening adjacent to the crista galli, and goes on to supply a section of the dorsum of the nose.
Anterior ethmoidal artery - cranial view
Medial Palpebral Artery
This artery has two branches i.e. the superior and inferior palpebral arteries. They arise opposite the superior oblique muscle. They supply the upper and lower eyelids respectively.

Arteries and veins of the eye.
Long Posterior Ciliary Arteries
These arteries branch from the ophthalmic artery near the optic nerve, and run anteriorly on both sides of the eyeball. They run between the sclera and the choroid layers, and they run to supply the ciliary muscle where they divide further. These two arteries merge and form the circulus arteriosus major around the iris, which run inwards to form a smaller circle of arteries (the circulus arteriosus minor). In all they supply the:
Long posterior ciliary arteries - cranial view
Short Posterior Ciliary Arteries
There are around 6-12 of these arteries for each eye. They branch from the ophthalmic artery as it curves medially to cross over the optic nerve. They pierce the back of the eye and run between the sclera (which they supply) and choroid, and supply up to the ciliary processes. They also give off smaller branches that supply the optic disc. They do this by forming an arterial ring known as the circle of Zinn-Haller.
Short posterior ciliary arteries - cranial view
Anterior Ciliary Arteries
There are 7 of these arteries per eye, and they supply the sclera, and rectus muscles. They branch from the ophthalmic artery and pass forwards to the anterior aspect of the eyeball, where they pierce the sclera, near the cornea, and terminate in the circulus arteriosus major, that surrounds the iris. Medial, inferior and superior rectus are supplied by two branches each, with the lateral rectus receiving the remaining single branch.
Anterior ciliary arteries - cranial view
This artery runs underneath the optic nerve and lies within the dural sheath of the nerve to reach the eyeball. It pierces the optic nerve itself near the back of the eye, and sends numerous branches over the internal aspect of the retina. In diabetic retinopathy, there can be haemorrhages and aneurysms that can form in this artery and its branches.
Central retinal artery - cranial view
The central retinal vein runs through the optic nerve. From here it drains into the cavernous sinus or superior ophthalmic vein. The superior ophthalmic vein is usually the largest and is the principal vein. It is formed when the supraorbital and angular veins unite just behind the trochlea (pulley like structure). The veins that drain into it are named as the arteries of the region (medial palpebral, lacrimal, anterior ethmoidal, inferior ophthalmic, central retinal and muscular).
Superior ophthalmic vein - lateral-left view
The inferior ophthalmic vein runs over the surface of the inferior rectus muscle, and drain to the cavernous sinus or the superior ophthalmic vein. It drains the inferior rectus muscle, inferior oblique muscle, lacrimal sac and lower lid.
There is sometimes a middle ophthalmic vein which some consider a second inferior ophthalmic vein. The veins of the region run with the arteries and follow a similar course.

Nerves found on the region of the orbit.
The special sense of sight is transmitted by cranial nerve II, the optic nerve. This nerve leaves the skull via the optic canal, and provides us with our sense of sight. The pair of optic nerves are in fact a direct structure of the brain, and not technically a distinct cranial nerve like the other 11 pairs. They unite together at the optic chiasm that lies superior to the pituitary gland (which lies in the sella turcica).
Optic nerve - cranial view
The peripheral fields/nasal retinal fields cross over at the chiasm. The optic tracts then travel to synapse in the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus, and from there they travel through Meyer's loop (from inferior retina/superior visual field) and Baum's loop (from the superior retina/inferior visual field). From there, they go to the primary visual cortex.
This occurs when the eye is exposed to light. This originates from the Edinger Westphal nucleus which carries parasympathetic fibers that run as the outer part of the oculomotor nerve, and eventually synapse with the ciliary ganglion (which is a parasympathetic ganglion that lies in the posterior orbit. This then gives off the short ciliary nerves, which innervate the constrictor pupillae.
Short ciliary nerves - lateral-left view
The short ciliary nerves described above also innervate the ciliaris muscle, which contract, and release the tension on the zonular fibers, causing the lens to become more convex (rounder) and hence focus on near objects. When we need to focus on a distant object, the impulse to the ciliary muscles is withdrawn, the suspensory ligaments become taut, and the lens tenses and become broader.
This occurs when the eye is in the dark, when we are experiencing sympathetic output i.e. adrenaline (fight, flight and fright response), and in response to some drugs. Anatomically, the long ciliary nerves (sympathetic nerves) mediate the reflex.
Long ciliary nerves - lateral-left view
Cranial nerve III is the oculomotor nerve, and as the name suggests it moves the eye. It leaves the skull through the superior orbital fissure. It innervates the inferior rectus, medial rectus and inferior oblique. When the eye is deviated away from the midline the inferior rectus is responsible for depressing the eyeball. The medial rectus acts to adduct the eyeball. When the eyeball is adducted, the inferior oblique acts to elevate the eyeball.
Oculomotor nerve - lateral-left view
Cranial nerve IV, the trochlear nerve originates from the posterior aspect of the brainstem (the only cranial nerve to do so), and is a long slender nerve that winds around the brainstem to run forwards. It then leaves the skull via the superior orbital fissure and innervates the superior oblique muscle. This muscle runs through a pulley, and attaches the eyeball in an oblique fashion. This muscle is responsible for depressing the adducted eye. If the muscle acts alone when the eye is facing directly forwards, it moves the eye down and out. Hence it is known as the 'tramp's' muscle.
Trochlear nerve - lateral-left view
Cranial nerve VI is the abducens, which innervates the lateral rectus muscle, and leaves the skull via the superior orbital fissure. The muscle it supplies abducts the eye, and its function links with the name of the nerve that supplies it.
Abducens nerve - lateral-left view
Sensation of the eye is possible via the V1 (ophthalmic) division of the trigeminal nerve. This nerve exits the skull via the superior orbital fissure. It provides sensation to the:
ridge of the nose as far down as the nasal tip
Ophthalmic nerve - lateral-left view
Oculomotor Nerve Palsy- The eye appears downward and abducted (due to paralysis of the inferior oblique, and medial rectus). There is ptosis (upper eyelid droop, due to denervation to the levator palpebrae superioris), and the pupil is dilated (as the constrictor pupillae is denervated). If there is a rise in intracranial pressure, the pupil is dilated and unresponsive. This is because the parasympathetic short ciliary nerves lie on the outside of the oculomotor nerve and are affected before the motor component of the nerve.
Uveitis- This is inflammation of the uveal tract (middle layer) of the eye. Symptoms include pain on eye movement.
Glaucoma- This is a rise in the intraocular pressure of the eye. The patient will feel a pressure within the eye. Treatment includes medication to reduce intraocular pressure.
Horner Syndrome- When the sympathetic nucleus of Budge located in the intermediolateral horn of the thoracic spinal cord becomes damaged, the sympathetic supply to the eye is compromised. Horner's syndrome is when something damages or disrupts the sympathetic chain. Symptoms include miosis, anhydrosis and ptosis.
Lateral Rectus Palsy- This is caused by Abducens nerve damage. The eye is unable to abduct beyond the midline.
Pituitary tumours- These tumours expand upwards, and compress the optic chiasm from below. The temporal visual fields (nasal retinal fields) cross over at the chiasm and therefore result in a bitemporal hemianopia.
Retinal hemorrhages- Diabetes and hypertension cause damage to the retinal arteries. This can cause blindness if it goes untreated.
Ocular Ischaemic syndrome- This is caused by severe occlusive disease of the carotid artery. Symptoms include visual loss and ocular pain. Ocular treatments include photocoagulation to reduce neovascularisation of the retina as well as intravitreal steroids. Systemic treatment includes antiplatelet therapy, systemic steroids and thrombolytic therapy.

Two passage ways are planned for the area in the earthen tracks of the high speed line (HSL) but the result will feel more like a wall. The Bentwoud (the Bent Forest) will grow to the east of this wall, although not in the immediate future. The wall must be ecologically exploited and the passage ways clearly demarcated.
On average more rain falls on the western side. This side is also warmer thanks to the protection offered by the town and higher midday temperatures. These biological factors can be further maximized through the use of different ground soils, seed mixtures, and raised patterns in the surface of the dike. In the ecological world the paths and dikes are famous/infamous for their interlopers from distant places.
Where a passage way was desirable, but the omnipresence of the water too threatening, '€˜coupures'€™ were made in the dike; openings which could be closed with beams or doors. These '€˜hard'€™ openings in the sloping body of the dike are, for me, a reason to argue for passage ways in the form of cuts.
Placing pipes diagonally through the dike directs the gaze to the land or sky. Drain holes and other stones or man-made material, are dotted over the earth in such a way that they manipulate one'€™s conception of space. This partial or complete perforation also offers a greater variation of possibilities for the balance of nature.

Agent of Change
Emily Davis devotes her life to helping other children overcome trauma.
Survivor uses knowledge to improve lives
Story by Leah Barbour
As a young child, Emily Davis was the victim of a horrific crime, but, with the support of her family and the pediatrician who documented the evidence, Davis became a survivor.
Following the adversity, Davis had many of the same questions other survivors experience: Am I a victim or a victor? Is my life over, or is it just beginning?
"When I was a high school junior 3 years ago, I was really conflicted on the direction I should take in my life," she remembers. "I wanted to utilize my personal experiences and passions to impact others, but I was unsure how I could do so. I talked with my mom, and she reminded me of Jeremiah 29:11: 'For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'
"I prayed that God would unveil his plan for my life. At school the next day, the vice-principal announced that the Rural Medical and Science Scholars program, for juniors interested in pursuing medicine, was accepting applications. Instantly, I knew God had revealed the first step in his plan for me," Davis explains.
Rural Medical and Science Scholars, delivered by the Mississippi State
University Extension Service, is a 4-week summer program for rising high school seniors who take two college-level premed courses, shadow physicians, and interact with medical students and faculty.
Davis, who had already considered devoting her life to helping other children overcome trauma, was interested. She says participating in the Rural Medical and Science Scholars program matured and solidified her desire to become a doctor and help others.
"The program was built to nurture scholars," Davis emphasizes. "Throughout the program, we received great wisdom and insight from all our mentors. Rural Medical and Science Scholars empowered me to realize that I can leave a lasting impact on a rural community."
One of the requirements for program participation comes after the 4-week intensive summer program: during their senior year, the scholars must participate in the Junior Master Wellness Volunteers program, too.
"Rural Medical and Science Scholars empowered me to realize that I can leave a lasting impact on a rural community."
At first, Davis did not realize how much volunteering within the Junior Master Wellness Volunteers program would mean to her, but she soon realized that the program was preparing her for her future career.
She taught young children about various health topics, including dental hygiene, and Davis experienced the joy of sharing health information with children. However, she didn't stop there. Next, Davis organized a project to benefit the Palmer Home for Children.
"With my grandmother's generous help and sewing abilities, I began my mission of collecting hand-sewn dresses," she says. "We began with 10 dresses initially, but I wanted to do more. I reached out to my aunt, and she graciously donated hand-sewn dresses that she and members of her church had made. My grandmother also shared my mission on her sewing blog, and I was able to collect dresses from all over the country.
"Ultimately, I was able to deliver over 100 dresses to the children at the Palmer Home, and I experienced overwhelming joy in seeing the difference we had made for those children," Davis emphasizes.
Now a junior chemistry major at MSU, Davis plans to go to medical school and, one day, become a pediatrician who helps other children identify and overcome trauma. Participating in Rural Medical and Science Scholars and becoming a Junior Master Wellness Volunteer showed Davis firsthand, she says, how service positively impacts communities and individuals.
"The experience ignited an engine of servitude in me," Davis explains. "Rural Medical and Science Scholars helped solidify my interest in medicine, and that, with the Junior Master Wellness program, empowered me to pursue my passions. My experiences provided me with the knowledge and the confidence to know that I am capable of leaving a lasting impact on the world around me."

Zombie Nativity Must Be Removed From Ohio Yard
By David Moye
Cincinnati News, FOX19-WXIX TV
Officials in Sycamore Township, Ohio, are pulling the plug on a zombie-themed nativity in a front yard.
Earlier this month, Jasen Dixon set up a version of the classic Christmas scene featuring skeletons as the three wise men and a demonic looking baby Jesus.
The decorations came from the 13 Rooms of Doom haunted house that he manages in Rising Sun, Indiana
"I wanted a nativity scene and I worked with what I had," Dixon told Fox 19.
The reaction has been mixed.
"The neighbors don't like it. My father hates it and anything bad that happens, he blames it on that," he told the station. "On the average we probably get 30 or 40 cars stop and taking pictures, getting out with their camera. People that follow zombie movies and stuff like that love it."
Officials in Dixon's hometown have demanded the nutty nativity be removed, but insist it's a zoning issue, not a zombie issue.
Township Administrator Greg Bickford told Cincinnati.com that the problem is that makeshift manger occupies too much of the front yard
Dixon has received two violations so far. He feels the orders to dismantle it violate his constitutional rights to free religious expression.
"I've lived here for 15 years and I've never had a violation of any kind," Dixon told FoxNews.com. "It's a holiday decoration. I know if it was a real pretty nativity scene they wouldn't be saying anything."
Dixon has until Dec. 26 to take the zombie nativity off his property without being penalized.
"I haven't decided," he told the Columbus Dispatch. "I don't really know what's going to happen."

This 5x7 autographed print highlights one of the most celebrated quotes in Nappi's first book in the series, The Legend of Mickey Tussler. This print makes the perfect gift for any fan of the book or for any fan of the game of baseball.
"Baseball players are built for life under a vast blue ceiling, with clouds for company and warming bolts of sunshine to light their way. They are made for the great outdoors, creatures of the fresh green earth, delighting in the redolence of newly cut grass, wet unslacked lime, leather and pine tar. They are designed to run and throw and move freely, like willful stars in a galaxy, their energies and aspirations gliding in some sort of cosmic, celestial dance."

An Image Object is created by using the Image() constructor. As with most of the Object Agents created from LightWave items, you can create these Objects by either supplying a specific name of an image loaded into LightWave (no extension or path information is necessary), or pass no arguments and create the Object from the first image loaded.
// from the first image loaded.
// from the second image loaded.
Besides those Data Methods and Methods common to all LightWave items, the following are specific to Image Object Agents.
Note: Remember that not all of the common Data Members and Methods apply to Image Objects.
name returns a string representing the name as it appears on the interface.
isColor returns a Boolean value indicating a color or black and white image.
width returns a value indicating the width of the image in pixels.
height returns a value indicating the height of the image in pixels.
hasAlpha is a Boolean flag that indicates whether or not the image contains any Alpha image data. If this flag is true, then the Alpha data can be accessed using the alpha() and alphaSpot() methods.
filename(frame) returns the path information for the Image Object Agent at the frame given.
luma(x, y) returns the grayscale value for the pixel located at the given (x,y) integer values.
rgb(x, y) returns the RGB value for the pixel located at the given (x,y) integer values.
alpha(x, y) will return the Alpha value for a pixel, given an integer (x,y) position within the image. Alpha-channel data contains only one numeric value for each triplet RGB value.

Real estate writer for CoreLogic, Cameron Kusher and his wife recently sold their five-bedroom house in the suburbs and moved, with their dog, to a three-bedroom ground floor apartment in the inner-city.
Nothing unusual there, except for the fact that Cameron and his wife are not empty-nesters or retirees; to the contrary they plan to have kids one day.
So why did this couple and their dog opt for apartment living at this stage of their lives?
• When two people and a dog live in a five-bedroom house, it's a lot of work and there are also a lot of costs associated with maintaining a house of that size.
• They found themselves closing off unused rooms in the house.
• Neither Cameron nor his wife particularly enjoy gardening, so they found maintaining a garden tiresome.
• Cameron travels interstate for work quite often, meaning most of the housework needs to be done on the weekend "when quite honestly, I would rather be doing almost anything else".
• Close to all amenities and they can walk everywhere.
• They have an array of restaurants, clubs, bars and cafes on their doorstep.
• They are close to work, meaning they are home much earlier and have more time to enjoy leisure time.
So what about when they decide to start a family?
In conclusion, there is no reason why apartment living should not be seen as a viable alternative to detached houses, especially given that it generally comes at a much more affordable price point. This is particularly true for apartment complexes that have been designed with liveability in mind – in terms of product type, product size, local amenities and location.
The latest data from the Real Estate Institute of WA (REIWA) shows more than half of all sellers in WA (53.4%) have to discount the sales price on their property in order to sell. What's more, the average amount they're discounting is 7%.
REIWA President Hayden Groves advises that if you're on the market or considering selling, you must adapt to the current property conditions.
This is better than dragging it out and eventually discounting in order to meet the market because all that does is extend the timeframe to sell.
The September quarter data revealed that it is taking an average of 70 days to sell, which is almost two and a half months. If you want to beat that average, you need to consider a different pricing strategy.
1. Meet the market from the outset – The number one reason a home stays on the market for longer than it should is if prospective buyers consider it over-priced.
For a faster sale, be realistic about the price from the outset. As real estate professionals, we conduct a thorough comparative market analysis before appraising a property and are always honest about a property's marketplace value. We will never tell someone a price just because we think it will make them happy.
A realistically priced property will attract more buyers and, subsequently, more offers and competition. If you have not had an offer within the first 3 – 4 weeks of your campaign you should consider if the asking price is too high or if the marketing or sales method are not right for your property. A professional agent will always communicate with you openly and honestly and offer the best advice moving forward.
2. Consider an auction – More and more West Australians are showing interest in auctions because of the many benefits associated with this method of selling, including a faster sale. It currently takes an average of 27 days for a seller to secure a buyer when selling at auction.
Selling via auction can help your property stand out from the competition. It can also separate the genuine buyers from those who are just looking.

Encouraging news just in from the Real Estate Institute of WA (REIWA) indicates that the worst of the Perth property market is now behind us. Preliminary September quarter data has mirrored those in the June quarter and revealed steady or improved levels across most key markets and a general stabilising of the market overall.
REIWA President Hayden Groves said the fact that conditions mirrored those experienced in the June quarter indicates the Perth property market may have finally "found its floor".
"We've observed six months of stable conditions, with both the June and September quarters posting consistent results. Historically, before a market improves there is a sustained period of level stock, sales activity and house prices, which is what we appear to be witnessing at the moment," said Mr Groves.
Median House Price – $499,000 (expected to rise to $515,000 once all sales have settled. This is $5k more than the median house price in June).
Median Unit Price – $395,000 (expected to rise to $407,000 once all sales have settled. This is on par with the June quarter median unit price).
Sales Activity – Expected to exceed 6,000 once all sales have settled (not far off the 10-year quarterly average of 6,780).
Listings – 13,043 (7.3% lower than listings recorded at the end of June and 7.9% lower than listings recorded at the end of September 2016).
Average days on market – 70 (with fewer sellers needing to reduce their asking price).
With auctions becoming increasingly popular in Perth (and for good reason too) we have been sharing articles recently to educate our subscribers on the sales process that is very popular in other parts of Australia but, until recently, has been largely avoided by Perth home buyers and sellers. This blog highlights the most common mistakes buyers make at an auction.
If you've been looking to buy a property for a while and you've attended an auction or two you may have witnessed some bad buying behaviour.
Love them or loathe them, auctions present buyers with a level playing field, which is a positive thing. That being said, there are 6 common mistakes buyers make at auctions that you would be wise to avoid.
1. Lack of preparation – There is nothing worse than the hammer falling only to discover that the deposit that's due or the settlement date that's required can't be met.
It is vital to consider all aspects of the auction process before auction day, from how much deposit is required on the day to the agreed settlement terms, the legal review of the contract and determining who will bid and who will sign the contract.
2. Failing to review the contract – Some properties have covenants preventing the new owners from certain activities or making changes to the property. Avoid nasty surprises by reading the contract thoroughly BEFORE bidding on the day.
3. Failing to stay in touch with the agent – Sometimes properties up for auction sell prior to the day if any offers received early are good enough. Without staying in touch with the agent, you could find a sold sticker on the signboard without having had the opportunity to put your best offer forward.
4. Letting emotions rule – Some buyers become overly caught up in the emotion of it all, causing them to become very competitive and potentially end up paying more than they set out to pay. It is very important to have a firm budget in mind and stick to it. If there's someone at the auction who is happy to pay more, walk away and accept that it wasn't meant to be.
5. Being too scared to bid – Being intimidated is another common mistake buyers make. Some buyers are too nervous to even put up their hand to bid only to end up regretting it when the home of their dreams sells for a price they would have been happy to pay.
6. Neglecting to arrange unconditional finance – This mistake is probably the worst one a bidder can make because, unlike the process when a home sells by private treaty, auctions require the successful buyer to sign an unconditional contract and pay the deposit on the day. This is regardless of whether the finance has been approved or not. If the buyer is unable to obtain finance they lose the deposit and could even be sued for damages if the vendor suffers any losses associated with the default.
7. Making incorrect assumptions about the Auction process – Many potential bidders think they know how the process is going to unfold and refrain from bidding because they presume one thing or another. For example, 'you always must be registered to bid' or 'dummy bids are allowed'. Talk to the Agent prior to the Auction and ask lots of questions about the process. You may find your presumptions are wrong and you are comfortable to make a bid!
Buyers who succeed at auction are confident in their budget, understand what needs to be done to prepare for the auction, and are confident bidders. These are the 3 keys to bidding like a professional.


Organic farming is a product strategy -- it defines the type of product you are selling. Farmers select organic farming for several reasons. They may believe in the concept of organic foods and are willing to put in the work involved to achieve and maintain organic standards. In addition, consumers have demonstrated a willingness to pay more for organic food, which leads to a larger profit margin than conventionally farmed food, even if you have less acreage.


Cyril Scott was born in 1893 in Dunstable, Bedfordshire. His parents, Burton George Scott and Emma Astling, were married there in 1887 when Emma was 18.
In the 1891 census Burton and Emma are living in Dunstable with 2 children. Burton is a hay and straw binder aged 28; Emma is 23.
In the 1901 census, Burton and Emma are still living in Dunstable and have 6 more children including Cyril aged 7.
In the 1911 census the Scott family is now living at "St Ives" in Arthur Road, Winchester. Burton is now aged 50 and still working as a hay and straw binder. Emma states that she has been married for 27 years and has had 11 children, all still alive. Cyril is 17 and, like his father, working as a hay and straw binder for a "forage merchant". The family had moved to Winchester within the previous two years, but it is not clear why they came to Winchester. Burton and Emma did not take all their children with them; their elder son Frederick, now 24 and manager at a forage merchant's, remained in Dunstable and can be found in the 1911 census married with a one year old child, and also looking after his sisters Daisy Rose (11) and Ivy May (8).
There are no service records for Cyril, but various websites state that he enlisted in Winchester in the Duke of Edinburgh's (Wiltshire Regiment). The Winchester War Service Register states that Cyril enlisted in January 1916 with the 6th Battalion as a private, with the service number 23014. His address is 32 Nuns Road.
1916 The Battle of Albert, The attacks on High Wood, The Battle of Pozieres Ridge, The Battle of the Ancre Heights, The Battle of the Ancre.
Cyril was wounded, probably in the Battle of Messines which took place between 7th – 14th June 1917. The Battle of Messines was a brilliantly planned and executed attack that resulted in the capture of the Wytschaete-Messines ridge south of Ypres, a feature that had given the British problems since 1914 and which was important to hold for future offensive operations in Flanders. It began with one of the heaviest artillery bombardments of the war and the explosion of 19 enormous and long-prepared underground mines.
Cyril died of his wounds on 14th June 1917, the last day of the battle. He was 24 years old. Cyril is commemorated at the Locre Hospice Cemetery in West-Vlaanderen, Belgium, an area between Bruges and Ypres. Locre (now Loker) was in Allied hands during the greater part of the war, and field ambulances were stationed at the Hospice of St Antoine. The Hospice Cemetery began to be used in June 1917 by field ambulances and fighting units. The cemetery now contains 244 Commonwealth burials and commemorations of the First World War.
Cyril's older brother Ernest William Scott enlisted in the Royal Field Artillery as a Wheeler (equivalent to Private) on 4th August 1914, becoming a Bombardier (equivalent to Corporal). He was wounded once and gassed three times, but survived the war.
Cyril's parents can be found in the 1939 Register, living in Woking with their married daughter Ivy May.
Cyril's father, Burton, lived to the age of 83, dying in Winchester in 1944.


The scrolling or the list text color is a bit hard to read. Not sure if showing the list on the right is a good idea or not because most karaoke songs now have a logo on the right.
One thing I notice with the requester name in the queue. I was using an ipad 2 to add a few songs and it is listed as theunknown. I went to the queue to change the name. Oh gosh annoying, what makes it more annoying is I have to delete the whole name before I can type the new one in. Imagine u have to do 20 entries.
When adding a song, I'd rather see an empty field for adding requester's name. This field should be allowed for editing. A lot of us don't use real name when online anyway. Adding a name to an empty field is a lot easier than going back to edit the name. In all karaoke parties I've been to, people request the host or others to add songs for them. Just like anh locky, I have to provide 2 tablets for guests to find and add songs. I definitely don't want to keep an eye on the requester's name field, ask who added each song, and then change the name.
1 user thanked Viet Ngo for this useful post.
The SB site is already doing this now, did you try?
Sorry Hai Lua, I just responded to VeMienVienDong regarding this idea: "shall use current login name as requester's name".
it works the same as you use the Tkaraoke youtube now.
Build 080, still the same where is the prompt for requester ? it still take my login name as default like previous build ?
BTW I checked for window it worked for design, but it did not work for android phone ?

If it is not too much, can you show the name of the current song as well?

Michael Phelps suspended 3 months
By By Kevin Van Valkenburg | kevin.vanvalkenburg@baltsun.com
Feb 06, 2009 at 3:00 AM
USA Swimming said late last night that it has decided to suspend Michael Phelps from competition for the next three months as punishment for a photo that was published in a British tabloid over the weekend that appeared to show him smoking marijuana.
The organization's board of directors voted on the decision, saying the intent was to send Phelps a "strong message" that it did not approve of his behavior. USA Swimming also said it is withdrawing financial support from Phelps during the suspension, a mostly symbolic punishment. The sport provides stipends for Olympic-caliber athletes in case they cannot afford to train and work at the same time.
"This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated," the organization said in a statement, "but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero. Michael has voluntarily accepted this reprimand and has committed to earn back our trust."
The suspension will prevent Phelps from competing as planned in a meet next month.
USA Swimming wasn't the only one expressing disappointment with Phelps yesterday. Although his corporate sponsors have mostly stood by him since the photograph was published in the News of the World, Kellogg Co. said it would not renew its partnership with Phelps after its deal with the swimmer, 23, expires at the end of this month. The two parties did not have an agreement to renew the deal before Kellogg's decision.
Phelps' management company, Octagon, said he understood the two decisions:
"Michael accepts these decisions and understands their point of view. He feels bad he let anyone down. He's also encouraged by the thousands of comments he's received from his fans and the support from his many sponsors. He intends to work hard to regain everyone's trust."
Before yesterday, Phelps had mostly received support from his sponsors and from the sport's governing bodies. Speedo, Omega, Visa, PureSport, Mazda and Hilton Hotels issued statements of support earlier this week. Subway, which signed Phelps to an undisclosed long-term deal in November, has declined to comment on whether it will continue to use him as a pitchman.
Phelps' coach, Bob Bowman, told The Baltimore Sun that the suspension would cause Phelps to change his plans for returning to competition somewhat, but that he would choose a meet at some point in the spring and return to the pool after the three-month suspension. Phelps had originally planned to swim at the Austin Grand Prix from March 5 to 7.
"I think it sends a message to Michael, and we're certainly going to abide by it," Bowman said. "He's eager to be back in training, and looking to move forward."
Marc Schubert, USA Swimming National Team head coach and general manager, wasn't even aware of the board of director's decision until The Sun informed him of it last night. He said he hopes it will serve a purpose, but ultimately "that's going to be up to him.
"The whole situation has obviously been disappointing, but Michael is very disappointed in himself," Schubert said. "It's been a real tough time for Michael. He's kind of thrown himself into his swimming lately, which has been a good thing because I think he has his friends on his swim team, and I think he's been introspective about the situation. He's taken a good look at himself and realizes his mistake."
On Wednesday, Phelps told The Sun that the intense public scrutiny this week has him mulling whether he wants to compete at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, a decision that could have millions of dollars at stake, not just for Phelps but for the television network NBC. Schubert said he knows what an intense competitor Phelps is and suspects it will be hard for him to stay away.
"I think without a doubt he's annoyed by intense amount of scrutiny," Schubert said. "It would be tough for any of us to live with. Hopefully as time goes on, I think generally most people will accept his apology. When we're not seeing this on SportsCenter, I think he'll probably give [the Olympics] some thought. He'll approach it a day at a time. I was happy to learn he was back at practice today."

Richard Maitland
Sir Richard Maitland of Lethington and Thirlstane (1496 – 1 August 1586) was a Senator of the College of Justice, an Ordinary Lord of Session from 1561 until 1584, and notable Scottish poet. He was served heir to his father, Sir William Maitland of Lethington, East Lothian, and Thirlestane, Berwickshire, on 15 October 1515, his father being one of the casualties at the Battle of Flodden. He held the political office of Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland and was also the Keeper of the Privy Seal of Scotland, from 1563 to 1567, and was succeeded in this post by his son Sir John Maitland, 1st Lord Maitland of Thirlestane.
For other people named Richard Maitland, see Richard Maitland (disambiguation).
In his later years he was blind, and occupied himself by writing a history of The House and Surname of Seaton, and by writing poems, e.g., On the New Year, On the Queene's Maryage, etc. He held various offices, chiefly legal, but appears to have kept as far as possible out of the fierce political struggles of his time, and to have been a genially satirical humorist.
He married Mariotta (or Margaret) (d. March 1586), daughter of Sir Thomas Cranstoun of Corsbie, in Berwickshire. They had three sons and four daughters, including
William Maitland of Lethington, Secretary of State to Mary, Queen of Scots, and
Sir John Maitland, 1st Lord Maitland of Thirlestane, Lord Chancellor of Scotland;
Thomas Maitland;[1]
Isabella Maitland, who married Sir James Heriot of Traboun
Mary (d. January 1596), who married (as his first wife) Sir Alexander Lauder of Haltoun, Knt., (buried in Holyrood Abbey 14 November 1627), Sheriff Principal of Edinburgh.
Elizabeth, who married William Douglas of Whittinghame.
The Maitland Manuscripts
Two of Maitland's manuscript works survive; both are compilations of the Scots literature of his era. They preserve many of the works of the great makars and a large number of anonymous pieces. The manuscripts also record many of Maitland's own compositions.[2]
The Maitland Manuscripts are held by the Pepys Library.

Golden State Warriors star and two-time reigning NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant might be providing us with an idea of what he's going to do in free agency this coming summer.
Still not a foregone conclusion that Durant will be back with the Warriors, he just recently took a tour of the soon-to-be built Chase Center in San Francisco — the home of the Warriors starting next season.
In the process, Durant provided a rather interesting quote.
The possibility of Durant leaving the Warriors came to the forefront earlier this season when he was involved in some drama with teammate Draymond Green. Since then, it seams that cooler heads have prevailed.
Realistically speaking, it's hard to imagine Durant bolting the Warriors after three seasons. He's set up shop in Silicon Valley — creating a business empire of his own.
Taking into account what promises to be one of the best basketball venues in the world on the San Francisco waterfront, and this is brought to an entirely new level.
It will be interesting to see what comes of this. But if Durant's recent comments are any indication, other teams might be better off going with Plan B in free agency.
