Jeffrey Shih ( born June 28, 1987), also known by his username Trump or TrumpSC, is an American professional video game player who streams Hearthstone, Age of Empires 4, and previously Starcraft II.

Before joining Team SoloMid in 2014, Shih grew his channel into one of the most popular Hearthstone streams on the game streaming website Twitch. He is one of the top Hearthstone competitors in North America.

He formerly played StarCraft II for the Team Legion and Vega Squadron groups.

Career
Shih graduated from New York University with a bachelor's degree in management and finance in 2009. Around that time he began working at a bank and streaming himself playing Starcraft II in his free time, averaging a few thousand concurrent viewers a stream. Shih's main intention behind his nickname Trump was to use the verb form of the word "trump", meaning "supersede".

Eventually Trump decided to quit his job and began streaming full-time, making a living from Twitch's partnership program by earning revenue from advertisements and subscriptions. He later began playing and streaming Hearthstone starting in the game's beta phase.

Trump has been described as "the world's most famous Hearthstone player", attracting over 20,000 concurrent viewers on his stream. In 2014, Shih streamed for seven hours per day. On October 13, 2013, he was signed by Team Razer as the world's first professional Hearthstone player.

In the Blizzard 2013 Stream Awards, Shih won the "Most Educational Stream" category with 43% of the vote, and came second in the "Favorite Hearthstone Stream" category. Shih's Hearthstone decks are often used as examples for new players. Blizzard Entertainment, creators of Hearthstone, cited streamers like Trump as reasons they were happy to continue with the game's monetization model after he reached the game's highest ranks without spending any money.

In July 2014 Trump joined Team SoloMid. He left Team SoloMid in March 2017 and signed to Tempo Storm as a player and content creator for the team. Tempo Storm parted ways with Shih in October 2018.

Tournament results
 7-8th — 2015 Hearthstone World Championship - Americas Championship

Personal life
Trump was born on June 28, 1987, in South Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. He is an only child. He attended New York University's Stern School of Business from 2005 to 2009. Trump lived in the San Francisco Bay Area until June 2016, when he moved to Austin, Texas.

There was some good news in the all of this analysis. Even though the Euro/US exchange rate had dropped by 20% the overall impact on the client's portfolio was only 6.5%. The reason for this is that as the Euro dropped versus the $US the ParkLogic systems automatically migrated the traffic to higher paying European monetisation providers. As the client was being paid in Euros this effectively meant they were being paid more.
Any traffic that was being highly paid by US companies remained with them as long as they were paying more than the impact of the exchange devaluation.
I know that this all sounds a little complicated but it clearly illustrates why systems like the one developed by ParkLogic are so effective in reducing external factors that impact the revenue line. We've found that if you leave all of your traffic with a single provider for longer than about a week, then you will be affected by things such as the exchange rate.
If you leave all of your traffic with one monetisation company and there is a crash in the exchange rate, then you will be in for a rough ride. On the other hand, think of a service like ParkLogic's as being like a "stop loss". If things go bad, then the traffic is automatically moved for your benefit.
Full disclosure dictates that I declare that I'm one of the founders of ParkLogic. It's not often that I openly discuss some of the hidden benefits like the one above we provide our clients. It just so happens that the exchange example is a clear case of why traffic optimisation really does work.

La revue L'Hermine a été fondée en janvier 1890 par Louis Tiercelin, qui la dirigera pendant 22 ans.

Création
La revue littéraire de langue française L'Hermine a été créée par le poète Louis Tiercelin, avec le soutien du musicien Guy Ropartz, et a eu une grande part, de l'aveu d'Anatole Le Braz,  dans la naissance du mouvement régionaliste breton qui apparaîtra au grand jour en 1898 avec la fondation de l'Union régionaliste bretonne. Le futur président de celle-ci, Le Braz lui-même, y fait paraître, dès janvier 1892, un long poème en français, Tryphina Keranglas, qui établit sa réputation comme poète engagé pour la Bretagne.

En Bretagne, dans les salons Gaze à Rennes, les banquets de l'Hermine, sont célèbres. Ils prennent la relève des Dîners celtiques fondés en 1879 et organisés par Narcisse Quellien autour de Ernest Renan. Les écrivains les plus connus (Charles Le Goffic, Anatole Le Braz, François-Marie Luzel) s'y retrouvent, mais on lit aussi les vers de jeunes talents comme Tanguy Malmanche – dont trois textes en langue bretonne y furent publiés  – et bien des poètes de l'époque ont dû leur notoriété à la revue (Eugène Herpin, Sophie Hüe, Jos Parker, Marie de Valandré, etc).

Le Rennais Édouard Beaufils, secrétaire de L'Hermine, y publie son « Bulletin séparatiste de la Bretagne autonome ».

I love to set myself little exercises to stretch my photographic muscles. I thought I might share one that has been most beneficial to me, photographing a familiar place or subject you would normally do in color, in only in black and white for a day, with the aim of getting a new perspective that could prove helpful when you go back to color.
This possibly doesn't sound like much of a challenge, and won't be if you shoot mainly in black and white already, but for those of us used to color, it can be a real challenge not to cheat by shooting in color and converting later, or quickly switch settings back to color every now and then. I confess to failing the challenge pretty much every time, but the exercise has proven fruitful regardless.
Because once you take the color out of the picture your awareness of other compositional elements such as tone and contrast increase. It also makes you photograph differently and look at your subject in a different way.
I first did this exercise some years ago during my regular walk along local beaches. It's a stunning place with white sands and crystal blue water. You don't have to be a fantastic photographer to capture a pretty image when surrounded by the beautiful colors of the water and the skies in this place.
It's really a challenge sticking to black and white when in a location like this, full of gorgeous colors.
Once you challenge yourself to let go of the beauty of the colors in your usual color subjects your approach can change dramatically. It becomes more about tones, patterns, contrast and mood. You can end up photographing your regular subject entirely differently when you start to play more with shapes, patterns and designs you might otherwise not have noticed when color is involved.
By doing this simple exercise both my beach subjects and compositions changed. Some images I would normally take that looked lovely in color looked washed out and a bit nothing, and vice versa, something that just didn't look so wonderful no matter how many times I color photographed them, suddenly worked. Things like graininess became a bonus rather than something to avoid.
I had photographed this rocky part of the local beach a few times as a landscape image, always included the area's amazing colors. A day of black and white changed my perspective. This image and the first one in this article where later commissioned for a guitar duo's album artwork. A surprising result from a simple exercise.
Why a familiar place or subject?
Because you will be less tempted to switch to color when you can always go back and shoot color next time. If you are constantly tempted to switch back, you will keep seeing and thinking in terms of color and the point of the exercise is to see your familiar subject differently and hopefully start seeing it in a way that will then help you out with your color photography.
Whether you are a landscape, portrait or any other type of photographer it can be fun and beneficial to take a slightly more restricted approach. Much like a free form poet suddenly attempting a haiku, the limitations of the haiku format insist on a completely different attack requiring a stretching of creativity.
You might not be keen to try it again but it can be a learning experience and you might just get a decent photograph out of the experience.
For this article I tried the exercise again at another familiar place I have photographed many times. An artists studio where I often work on collaborations.
It doesn't matter where you try this exercise, just as long as it is a familiar place or subject so you can always go back and do color versions later after seeing it through a black and white perspective.
An added benefit of shooting at this location being that the artist, Randall Sinnamon, is also an art teacher so I asked him for some tips on working in black and white.
Photographing in black and white for a day can help you see tones and shapes better, which you can then apply to compositions in your color photography.
Portrait of artist Randall Sinnamon. As he said, "Black and white simplifies things". The colors in this image were distracting, they bounced around too much, where as in black and white it calmed things down and we are more able to focus on the mood, the joy of his smiling face in the sun.
You might notice when trying this exercise that an image that can look like a busy mess in color can become elegant in black and white. Photographing outdoors in the middle of the day can work well too, we color photographers so often prefer the softer light of morning or evening, midday light can add harsh shadows or too much contrast, but black and white photography loves contrast. It also loves patterns and repetition.
I've photographed this tie collection in the artists studio before in color, but this time without the distration of color, it became about the patterns and repetition and worked much better.
Of course sometimes it just makes sense to photograph in color. But this exercise can help with working out what does and doesn't work in either camera setting.
I cheated. Again. I'd like to pretend it was for the purpose of this article, but really I couldn't say no to that orange color. Yet when photographing this fungus outside the studio, the orange was distracting, and when I looked at the black and white version, I realized composition wise, things could have been better.
So set your camera to black and white, and head out, or even photograph your own home or backyard. No cheating. OK, maybe a little cheating if the color is just too hard to resist. I wouldn't want you to miss out on a brilliant shot. But do try to stick to it, keeping your eye out for situations with patterns, tones, shapes, contrasts without thinking about color can really make a difference to how you later compose your images. Remember this is just an exercise, you don't have to get the perfect shot here, relax and enjoy the change. It's as good as a holiday so they say.
If you do try the exercise, please share you favorite results in the comments below. Or perhaps you have some other simple exercise idea you've tried that you would like to share with our readers.

This is a picture of me just taken in the fall of 2002.
Unfortunately, I can't say that I have developed even one single, substantial friend on the internet since I've been here which has been almost two years now.
However, the people that I do respect in the scene are Necrosaro, Wildbill, Musashi, and Dave for the most part, but I do have some other, personal favorites.

I began practising martial arts, Qigong and meditation at the age of 7. As a student of Qigong, I journeyed all around China seeking the greatest masters including northwestern part of Hubei, Beijing and Southern China, where I met and trained extensively with several true Qigong masters.
Throughout my journey, I have met many Qigong masters around the world, acquiring rare skills, from unique breathing techniques and exercises to delving into the heart of Qi energy. Each master has shaped the Qigong training I teach today.
As the Qigong master instructor of White Tiger Qigong, I've taught thousands of students from around the world, in countries including China, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Europe and the US. I have worked closely with terminally ill individuals to professional athletes, ballet dancers, martial artists and CEOs.
Through White Tiger, I aim to revolutionise the way the world understands Qigong, transforming it into a global phenomenon.
Various styles of Baguazhang including Wudangshan Baguazhang, Bagua Lian Huan Zhang and more.
Master Tevia's vision is to spread these sacred arts across the world so others can learn to heal, transform their lives and discover their human potential. He currently offers Qigong, Medical Qigong, Internal Martial Arts, teacher certifications and classes worldwide travelling to various locations around the world.

Q: Amazon CloudFront custom origin configuration I'd like CloudFront to first search S3 for a file, defaulting to my custom server if the image is not found. Is this possible?

A: Unfortunately CloudFront does not have a flexible fallback mechanism.
Depending on your specific use case, you could use an alternate approach where you configure CloudFront to pass all traffic trough your custom server and configure the server to proxy the request to S3 by default and, if that fails, to serve a local copy of the file.
It's also possible that, instead of actually proxying the content from S3, you just configure your server to redirect to the S3 object if it exists, to reduce the traffic that goes trough your server.
Another approach, that could possibly apply if you have a CloudFront distribution dedicated to serving images, is to set your S3 bucket as the distribution's origin and configure a custom error page for 404 errors to serve a default image that's also hosted on S3. For this approach, see:
http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2013/09/custom-error-pages-and-responses-for-amazon-cloudfront.html

A: You could to try and set it up as a reverse proxy.  I haven't tested it, but it falls back to your domain if the asset is missing.  Who knows what the 'break' would be that you would need a fallback.  But this would help in a number of cases, such as a new admin accidentally deleting your cloudfront bucket.

When Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay agreed to their marriage of convenience nine years ago, they dropped the word "Progressive" from the party brand. It was a momentous omission and a harbinger of things to come -- particularly the roboscam scandal. It signalled that everyone outside the party's narrowly defined limits was prey -- either to be destroyed, neutralized or captured.
Linda McQuaig writes that it is hard to imagine the old Progressive Conservative Party engaging in the nasty, take no prisoners politics that the Harperites practice -- not just because the technology required was unavailable, but because of who led the old party:
Deliberate voter suppression would have seemed inconceivable in a Conservative party headed by Joe Clark or Robert Stanfield. But the gloves-off Harper partisans have shown such a taste for American-style electoral hardball — by, for example, misrepresenting Liberal Irwin Cotler in a phone-call campaign deemed "reprehensible" by the (Conservative) Speaker of the House — that voter suppression perhaps seemed to them like just one tiny step further over the foul line.
Certainly the use of call centres in political campaigns has been imported from the United States. The Conservatives have made use of such American firms as Front Porch Strategies to help them reach voters. But, the problem is, Andrew Coyne writes in today's National Post, that call centres treat voters as prey:
The party calling knows who you are, which party you support, and what sorts of issues people like you are concerned about, and in the intimacy of that phone call, can tell you exactly what you want to hear, without concern for how the same message might resonate with other voters. What the mass media of the 20th century largely took away from the parties — the ability to say one thing to one group of voters and another, sometimes contradictory thing to another — the micro-media of the 21st century has restored.
It's standard operating procedure at all call centres. And, therefore, they should be banned from the political process:
I get why the parties think this way. What I don't get is why the rest of us should: why we should consent to being treated in this condescending, manipulative way — still less why we should help the parties do it. Yet the reality is that this sort of campaigning could not be conducted without the collusion of the state, of the government that belongs to us. It is time it stopped.
The parties could not conduct these massive phone campaigns, for starters, if Elections Canada did not make available to them its list of registered voters. It did not always do so. It should stop.
They could not do so, likewise, had they not arranged to exempt themselves from the "do not call" lists to which private telemarketers are subject. Neither could the parties maintain quite such sophisticated voter databases had they not also exempted themselves from the relevant privacy laws. Both of these privileges should be withdrawn.
The immediate problem is to find out who is responsible and to apply Canada's election laws as written. That means someone should go to jail. After all, the government says that its new crime bill -- which passed yesterday -- is all about protecting the public. Unfortunately, despite the rhetoric, the Conservatives have no intention of protecting the public, least of all from them. It's in the name.

T-Pain Responds to Quincy Jones's Harsh 'Vulture' Interview
By Jonathan Sawyer in Music
Yesterday Vulture published an in-depth interview with Quincy Jones which once again found the music legend refusing to hold his tongue. Jones pretty much trashed a number of respected artists, insisting that Michael Jackson stole music, The Beatles were "no-playing motherfuckers," rock is a "white version of rhythm and blues," and much more.
In addition, Quincy spoke on Soul Bossa Nova, a 2010 compilation album that saw various musicians covering Jones's biggest hits, The FADER points out. Specifically, the 84-year-old composer/producer pointed out that "T-Pain, man, he didn't pay attention to the details," when covering "PYT" with Robin Thicke.
Since, T-Pain has taken to social media to respond to Jones's criticism.
For the record I told my managers (at the time) and I told @QuincyDJones in his face "I don't want to remake any of your past records because I know I'm gonna fuck it up. I'll never be able to reach the greatest of MJ" it took them hours to pump me up to even go in the booth 1/2
— T-Pain (@TPAIN) February 7, 2018
And I still hated it when I came out of the booth. Then the song came out and it was even worse than it sounded in the studio. This is legit one of the reasons I don't work with the managers I had anymore because if I said I was uncomfortable doing something they didn't care 2/2
But also to be real. It just seems like @QuincyDJones is pissed off at the whole world. I have nothing but respect for the guy so I don't know why we didn't hold the song or tell me exactly what he wanted when I kept taking the headphones off beggin for direction from the God
Most notably, as you can see, T-Pain commented that, "It just seems like @QuincyDJones is pissed off at the whole world."
It's hard to refute such a statement as Jones continues to unearth secrets and, for lack of a better word, shit on a number of his contemporaries.
Nonetheless, you can revisit the standout quotes from Vulture's Quincy Jones interview here.
Now see T-Pain demonstrate how to use Animojis, as well as talk working with DJ Khaled and more.

Steve Earle is one of the most entertaining wordsmiths still slinging his guitar around these days. He got it honestly, learning from the likes of Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark. A little younger than Guy, seems Steve is keeping up with the times on Washington Square Serenade.
I thought Guitar Town was great. Leaving guitar town is even more fun. Maybe just being a grown-up myself makes it so easy to smile with Steve as he's run toward his vision full steam ahead for the past decade. I thought Jerusalem was miraculous. "John Walker Blues"? "Ashes to Ashes"? The title track, "What's a Simple Man to Do"? All great songs individually and lined up just so on that album. I've spent a lot of hours with it. In a way, "Amerika 6.0" was a warning in more ways than one. Besides what the lyrics told us, the style and method of that track were prophetic. Steve uses technology. You can't write him off as a geezer guitar rocker. He's versed and practiced in looping.
I don't care how this album was created anymore than I care how Ben and Jerry's got the chocolate and cherries proportioned so perfectly in the Cherry Garcia. I just love it.
Allison and New York City obviously agree with Steve. He says he wrote this one for himself. Nothing more political than the "City of Immigrants", done with a Brazilian band and an humble attitude really, simply saying that we are all immigrants. He swears he'll return with more to say on the world's plight, but for now, yeah, I agree with him, do this one for you, Steve. Sing to sweet Allison. She really does Sparkle and Shine. Her harmonies on this album are super duper – strong and unafraid, never over-powering, never too shy. I'm thinking she should have taken the lead on one or two songs, but maybe next time.
Yeah. I'm here. And so are a lot of other Steve Earle fans. Most all of us are nodding along and smiling. It's nice to see Steve 'playing nice' and it's good to give the critics a chance to catch their breath. A beautiful album is not the easiest review to write sometimes, but give him a chance. He swears he'll be back with something controversial. Right now, right here, I couldn't be happier with this CD. It's on my top ten list for 2007.
Track 1 – Tennessee Blues – Goodbye, Guitar Town, leaving in the broad daylight with a blue dog on the floorboard and a redhead by his side. What could be sweeter, really?
Track 2 – Even if you aren't familiar with Pale Male, the New York City red-tailed hawk, "life goes on down here below" in your town, too, I'll bet, "and all these mortals struggle so". See? Wordsmith extraordinaire, I'm tellin' ya.
Track 3 – Turn it on. Turn it up. It's Satellite Radio. Anybody out there?
Track 4 – City of Immigrants – Great mix with South American rhythm instruments galore. Makes me want a colorful full skirt to swing and a tall, dark dance partner. Backing band is Forro In the Dark. Nice voice work by Allison.
Track 5 – Sparkle and Shine – I didn't want to like this one. You know the whole cliché about Steve always having to throw in a few 'chick songs' and all. At the risk of losing a few coolness points, I gotta admit it. I love this song.
Track 6 – Come Home to Me – Now, to me, this is where the album slows down a little bit. Not my favorite track.
Track 7 – Jericho Road – This one is a radio friendly number. Steady beat, great bridge, fine lyrics. Go Steve. You keep on walkin'!!!
Track 9 – Red is the Color – Not one of my favorites, but I don't get Irish or bagpipes or any of that.
Track 10 – Steve's Hammer – Old Folkie at heart. A little tired, but one of these days he's gonna lay that hammer down and sing a different song. Hopefully after the coming election day, I'm thinkin'.
– Sweet love song, sweet harmonies. Her voice is really a great compliment to his.
Track 12 – Way Down In The Hole – step back! A little farther back……..I dunno, I think I could get used to this "new Steve".
I'll give it 5 stars and a whole bunch of spins.

I do believe I'm going to be purchasing a new cd!
Mucklewain 2006 was worth the nearly 4 hour drive to see and hear Steve perform. He was my favorite act and really held the audience captive with his stage presence. A powerful, powerful storyteller, he is!

Q: How to specify these VM Arguments? How do I specify -Xms1g, -Xmx1k, and -XX:HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError to the Java VM when I run my application.

A: How are you executing your application?

*

*Are you trying to get the heap dump if the application runs into Out Of Memory error, if yes, you can use jconsole and the right command is -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

*The flag -Xmx specifies the maximum memory allocation pool for a Java virtual machine (JVM), while -Xms specifies the initial memory allocation pool and hence the value for Xmx should be greater than Xms,
you would need to correct your argument values.

While SERMS like Nolvadex and Clomid are commonly used during the steroid cycle and for post cycle therapy (PCT), to inhibit, or block, a certain amount of estrogen from binding to the receptors, Arimidex works in a different way. Actually the first two drugs mentioned there are sometimes mistakenly referred to as anti-estrogen compounds, whereas Arimidex fits this description far more accurately.
The drug's chemical name is Anastrozole, and is of interest to bodybuilders who are using steroids, due to the high rate that these substances aromatize (convert) to estrogen. There are unwanted side effects to the aromatization effect, not the least of which is the development of male breast tissue, a condition known as Gynecomastia.
Anastrozole's was originally developed to be used to combat breast cancer (predominantly in females but also some rare male cases) because one of the main causes of the disease is an overabundance of estrogen. Essentially, the drug works to block the synthesis of estrogen and inhibits the conversion of androgens (e.g. testosterone) to it as well.
All synthetic steroids are derivatives in one way or another of the original steroid testosterone. Too much testosterone and of course many of the more androgenic steroids will convert to estrogen. This is called aromatization, and can cause many problems, especially in men. Gynecomastia, water retention, emotional problems and diminished functional activity of the testicles are some of the secondary negative effects that can come with the increase in estrogen levels.
To combat this to some degree during and after the steroid cycle, the user can take drugs like Nolvadex (brand name of Tamoxifen) or Clomid, which are classed as SERMs (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator) which basically blocks a lot of estrogen from binding to receptors, specifically those located on breast tissue. SERMs do not however do a complete job and there is merit in inhibiting the aromatization process at source as a preventative measure. The SERMs will then do a much better job of 'mopping up' more of what gets through.
This is where Arimidex (brand name of Anastrozole) comes in.
Some estrogen is necessary for a healthy functioning body, and indeed tissue growth, therefore too much inhibition can lead to further problems. Anastrozole is proficient at what it does – which is to arrest the synthesis of estrogen via inhibiting the aromatization of the androgens in tissue – and so it has been found to overdo it slightly and cause other problems for the user in question. For this reason it is usually only used in small doses during the cycle and stopped before PCT begins.
The SERMs are continued through PCT, but the combination of those and the Anastrozole could wind up causing more harm than good.
Bone weakness is a particular concern with Arimidex usage, especially for bodybuilders due to its counterproductive nature. Women who were prescribed it after being on a SERM like Tamoxifen to combat breast cancer had more reported bone fractures while on the Arimidex.
The other main problem – over-reduction of estrogen levels – is perhaps dose dependant but is still a concern with people who do not understand completely what they are doing with steroids and related drugs. The self-treatment aspect of steroids, due to legality constraints, is one of the major causes of misuse. Not all bodybuilders that use them have sufficient knowledge of how to.
It's always interesting to hear guys talk the talk about using steroids, and exactly what is entailed with proper administration of them is rarely fully understood by amateur bodybuilders. Even if someone knows to take a certain course of drugs and when to take them – because they have been directed how to by the same black market connection that dealt them the stuff – they most likely would not know what to do if something got out of control. For example, would they know what dosages to reduce or raise if they started getting a severe case of gynecomastia? Because just stacking a SERM with higher doses of Arimidex could get them into a worse situation. There is no point replacing on problem with another.
We advise against using steroids or related drugs such as Anastrozole, unless a doctor has prescribed them for a specific reason, which you can be rest assured will not be for the purposes of bodybuilding.

Wallace Centenary Celebration
By George Beccaloni
After Wallace's death Wallace's children William and Violet donated many books, manuscripts, photographs, items of furniture, ethnographic artifacts and specimens which had belonged to their father to various societies and other institutions in England. Letters relating to these donations are mostly in the Natural History Museum, London, library and have the finding code "WP16/2". They are listed in the Museum's online archive catalogue here.
The donations I am aware of are as follows:-
British Library: Wallace's children donated a very important collection of letters to Wallace from noteworthy people including Darwin, Huxley and Hooker. The following manuscripts of books Wallace had written were donated in August 1947 (see WP16/2/21): Man's Place in the Universe; The World of Life; Darwinism; The Wonderful Century; Bad Times; My Life; and Is Mars Habitable?.
British Museum: artifacts from the Amazon, the Malay Archipelago and North America. The following items are listed in the Merlin Collections Database of the British Museum's Department of Africa, Oceania and the Americas (AOA) as having been collected by Wallace and donated by his children William & Violet in 1935 (CLICK HERE and HERE to see letters about them):

Down House museum (English Heritage): A magnificent photograph of Wallace was donated by his son William to Down House. It used to hang in the New Study and I don't know where it is currently.
Hertford Grammar School library (now the Richard Hale School, Hertford): Two paintings by Wallace. I know the following about these paintings:-
In a letter in the Natural History Museum, London, library (finding number WP16/2/29) from George W. Kinman, Headmaster of Hertford Grammar School, to Wallace's son William, dated July 19th 1916, Kinman says "I shall be very glad indeed to have the pictures mentioned in your letter, whether Dr Wallace painted them himself or not. Perhaps you will kindly inform me as to this." On the back of this letter William wrote "Two large paintings on canvas & rollers representing scenes in the Malay Archipelago which A.R.W. had done to illustrate lectures."
A second letter in the NHM library (finding number WP16/2/30) from Kinman to William, dated October 2nd 1916 reads: "I feel sure you will excuse my long delay in acknowledging the receipt of the pictures.....From your letter I did not think that the pictures were quite such an acquisition as they are. I am hanging them in one of the new class rooms which we intend to fit up as a Geography room - The colours of the walls shows them off admirably and apart from the interest of the subjects they appear to me of considerable artistic value."
For information about Kinman see http://www.richard-hale-association.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=172&Itemid=93
Note that Tom Gladwin has tried to locate these paintings and has so far failed to find them in the school archives.
Linnean Society of London: Richard Spruce's diary and a MS of one of his papers, eight of Wallace's notebooks, sketches, manuscript of Wallace's book on Amazonian palm trees, letters from Wallace to William Mitten. The Society also has the rolled-up skin (somewhat damaged) of a python collected by Wallace which was donated to them by Wallace's grandson John in 1958. It is reputed to be the skin of the snake which Wallace found in the roof of his hut on Amboyna (Ambon Island, Indonesia). In The Malay Archipelago he says "It was about twelve feet long and very thick, capable of doing much mischief and of swallowing a dog or a child."

Museum of the History of Science, Oxford: Wallace's microscope plus two of William Mitten's microscopes were donated by Wallace's children to this museum. The museum still has these (Annette Lord, pers. comm., 2012). Wallace's botanical microscope is described and pictured here: http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/object/inv/84707
Museum of Zoology, Cambridge: Five of Wallace's skins of Birds of Paradise were sold to the museum by Wallace's son William.
National Portrait Gallery, London: A collection of photographs of Wallace, a medallion of Wallace by Bruce-Joy and an oil painting of Wallace over a photograph by Thomas Sims. See this link for more information.
Natural History Museum, London: Two specimen notebooks from the Malay Archipelago plus bird specimens. The NHM also owns four insect collecting nets which were "Made by the BBC for the TV "World About Us" programme on Alfred Wallace entitled "The Forgotten Voyage", December 1982." (Chalmers-Hunt, 1994). These are based on Victorian designs. Their catalogue numbers are Items 120, 137, 179, and 184 [See Chalmers-Hunt, J. M. 1994. Entomological bygones or historical entomological collecting equipment and associated memorabilia. Archives of Natural History, 21 (3): 357–378.]
Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford: Publications, stone implements and other artifacts. Some of the stone arrowheads from the USA are on display. The labels beside them state that they were donated by W. G. Wallace (ARW's son) but no mention is made of the fact that they were originally owned by ARW.
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London: Artifacts, Richard Spruce's notebook. The artifacts have been catalogued on the following online database: http://apps.kew.org/ecbot/search/ and include a native umbrella made from a palm leaf, sago cakes, a shirt made of bark cloth and a sample of the arrow poison curare, the last of which was undoubtedly collected by ARW, but was donated by his son William (search for "Wallace AR", "Wallace WG" and "Wallace Bates").
Royal Entomological Society: [The following was not presented by Wallace's children but it is still of interest] Wallace's desk slate (a writing slope) is in the Council Room of the Society, where until recently at least it was still used during council meetings. Wallace purchased it in 1865 and used it until his death. It was presented to the Linnean Society in 1921 by Professor Poulton of Oxford. Presumably the Linnean Society then gave it to the Royal Entomological Society (see Brackman, 1980).
Royal Geographical Society, London: A large armchair often used by Wallace was donated to Society by his children. A letter from Arthur R. Hinks of the RGS to his daughter Violet (NHM library finding number WP16/2/58) dated August 13th, 1931, asks Violet to get a removal firm to deliver the chair to the RGS, at their expense, when she moved house at the end of that month. This Society has tried and failed to locate this chair, most recently in 2011.
Royal Society, London: A revolving bookstand originally given to Wallace by Prof. R. Meldola was donated to Society in 1935 by Wallace's children. I do not know whether the Society still has this item. The children also donated Richard Spruce's sketches and notes, which Wallace had owned. Two letters in the library of the Natural History Museum, London, give more information about the bookstand:-
Extract of a letter from H. H. Dale to Wallace's son William dated 25th July 1935 (NHM finding number WP16/2/59): "You may be assured that the Society will treasure such a momento of Alfred Russell [sic] Wallace...I can forsee that it will, for many years, hold an honoured place on the table at which the Society's Officers hold their confidential meetings, and that it will help their work while keeping them in mind of your great father."
Extract from a letter written by the Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society to William dated 2nd August 1935 (NHM finding number WP16/2/60): "I write to inform you that the revolving bookstand has safely arrived here...I note that you wish Miss Wallace's name to be associated with yours, when Council passes a formal vote of thanks in October."
Sadly, the Society have tried and failed to locate this item.
University College London: Wallace's fingerprints. These were sent to Francis Galton as an enclosure to THIS letter.

Sauna experiences differ from one person to another. The very first one is especially peculiar since it can make you either like or dislike the sauna. If you are a first-timer, you do not have to worry; there are some tips that will help you prepare sufficiently for your sauna experience.
The sauna we use today has come a long way into being what it is. What was considered just a bathhouse has gradually evolved and changed over the years to the classy saunas we use, with modern settings and structures.
Bathhouse culture happened differently like through hot baths, steam rooms, hot springs, and saunas. These practices have however carved their way into the modern society and have come in the form of steam baths used to clear the body of toxins and restore the energy levels.
The Sauna is one of Finland's best contributions to the world. It stands tall along with the country's other significant contributions like the Nokia Phone and the game Angry Birds; it has even outlasted them in most respects.
The existence of saunas is not a recent phenomenon. For thousands of years, a certain version of the sauna has existed in different regions of the world. Mayans, as mentioned in the Harvard Health Publications, used sweat houses 3,000 years ago.


And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.

For I will accept him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has." So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD commanded them; for the LORD had accepted Job. And the LORD restored Job's losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
