This video demonstrates the digital creation of a profile line i.e. drawing of a ceramic fragment, which was captured using a 3D-scanner. Such fragments also known as sherds are among the most common findings at archaeological excavations.
The rim sherd shown as an example was part of a bowl. It was found 2017 during excavations in the Roman vicus of Gleisdorf, Styria, Austria. It belongs to a group of fine ware which is called "Pannonische Glanztonware" (PGW, Pannonian glazed pottery), which was produced between flavian times and the beginning of the 3rd century AD. PGW imitated Samian Ware vessels regarding their forms and also decorations. Usually burnt in a de-oxidizing atmosphere in the kiln and therefor black or grey, the example shown was burnt in an oxidizing atmosphere and is therefore of orange color.

Headed down to Vernon first week of April for a family shindig, I left my tube at home but brought some fishing gear. I had talked to the boys about trying OK lake with some plugs and bucktails and maybe Kal Lake too. We're a good 6 weeks away from ice off in these parts so I just wanted to troll around some open water.
As I rolled into Vernon Swan Lake was still frozen solid and I knew we would have only the three big lakes to fish. Day one the boys humored me and we trolled OK lake without a nibble. The next day we went to Mabel as Donny had done a pre-fish a couple days earlier and caught a couple little guys. It was a day with snow squalls blowing down onto the lake and choppy/whitecap conditions. As usual the best fishing was when the weather was at it's worst and we were trying to make it back to the trucks for some drying, warming up time.
All fish were caught trolling leeches (SSS Blue and Don's Purple Egg Eater) with Dons Purple doing the most damage. Hooked a lot of fish, lost a lot of fish and landed a lot of fish. We kept a few for the BBQ and had a great feast that night. Whetted my appetite and now I have to wait again. Resume tying.

Fleas rely upon a blood supper from a host to survive, so most fleas are brought into the home by means of pets or other well evolved creature has. On a few events, insects may turn into an inside issue when the host they beforehand nourished on is no longer around. At that point insects concentrate their bolstering movement on different hosts that live inside the home. A case of such a circumstance is the point at which a mouse inside the house is caught and evacuated, the bugs that already encouraged on the mouse are then compelled to eat pets or individuals.
Their bodies reddish brownish and also shiny about 2.5 mm long and wingless adults. They have microscopic hair and move through animal fur since they have it compressed. The eggs will hatch on rugs carpet bedding upholstery ground and cracks in the floor eggs are not attached to the host. Hatching within two days. Blood meal from their host that they depend on to survive, most fleas arrived home from the transport of pets and other mammals occasional fleas come inside problem when their host in not around to feed on them. They will attached to any warm blooded animal including birds and mice.
Adults little, wingless, around 2.5 mm long.
Their bodies are sparkling and rosy cocoa in shading.
Covered with minute hair and are packed to take into account simple development through creature hide.
More data on what insects resemble.
Grown-ups are parasites that draw blood from a host. Hatchlings feast upon natural trash, especially the excrement of grown-up insects, which contain undigested blood. Insects normally like to eat shaggy creatures, for example, pooches, felines, rabbits, squirrels, rats, mice and other tamed or wild creatures. Bugs don't have wings, despite the fact that they are equipped for hopping long separations.
Clearly, the pet is basic to limiting insect invasions, and customary prepping limits bugs on the pet. Consequently, clients need to keep the pet prepped and treated with on-creature bug control items. Counsel your veterinarian for help with treating your pets for bugs and ticks.
Wash or supplant pet sheet material.
Vacuum all rugs and mats completely, including underneath quaint little inns furniture.

Supplant any pet sheet material outside and influence every single shaded region, to slither spaces, and so on accessible for treatment.
Orchestrate to be out of the home for a few hours until the point that the treatment has completely dried.
Stage Two. The mortgage holder needs to organize treating the pet, and this ought to be done while the house is dealt with. Various on-creature treatment items are presently accessible. Treatment of pets ought to be done under the course of a veterinarian.
Stage Three. In homes with a dynamic bug pervasion, a remaining treatment joined with a creepy crawly development controller ought to be connected. The experts at Silver Bullet Pest Control bug killing administration know how to dispose of insects by utilizing the most recent bug control items. Endeavors ought to be centered around the territories where pets rest or rest, as these are where the most insects will be found.
Stage Four. Outside, treatment is commonly connected to shaded ranges and underneath bushes and decks where pets rest or rest.
Eggs are not joined to the host. Eggs will incubate on the ground, in mats, rug, bedding, upholstery or splits in the floor. Most bring forth inside of two days. Perused more about the life cycle of bugs.
Bugs rely on upon a blood dinner from a host to survive, so most bugs are brought into the home through pets or other vertebrate hosts. On a few events, bugs may turn into an inside issue when the host they beforehand sustained on is no more around. At that point bugs center their sustaining movement on different hosts that dwell inside the home. A case of such a circumstance is the point at which a mouse inside the house is caught and evacuated, the bugs that beforehand encouraged on the mouse are then compelled to eat pets or individuals.
Utilizing rejection practices is essential for some irritation issues, however avoidance does not have a noteworthy, direct advantage for bug control. In any case, fixing breaks, holes and gaps to keep rodents or other potential hosts from getting entrance into the house is an imperative aberrant approach to keep insects outside. The best approaches to keep bugs from getting inside the house is to take out open air insect living spaces and outside hosts, in addition to utilizing range wide bug control concoction items and veterinarian-sanction bug control items on pets.
Since insects are generally simple to find in their grown-up stage, the vast majority of the consideration is coordinated at grown-up bugs. Grown-up bugs are normally simple to find, particularly if the property holder and their pets come back to the house after a long excursion or other nonappearance amid which the inhabitant bug grown-ups were not ready to take a blood dinner. After giving back, the property holders are frequently welcomed by bugs bouncing around and attempting to arrive on them and their pets.
The bug eggs, hatchlings and pupae are another circumstance. Since these stages are considerably more undercover and a great deal less dynamic, they are found in off the beaten path spots like behind, under or in the furniture; in the pet's sheet material; inside breaks and notches in the floors; and in the rugs. Insect eggs that were stored by the female grown-up, tumble off your pets as they move, permitting them to be dispensed all through the earth where a pet invests energy. Insect eggs speak to around one-portion of the whole bug populace present in a normal home. Hatchlings make up around 35 percent of the insect populace.
On the off chance that conditions are good, the hatchlings will spin casings in around 5-20 days in the wake of bring forth from their eggs. The cases are the bug's pupal stage and record for around 10 percent of the bug populace. This case stage is the last formative stage before the grown-up bug develops. In the event that ecological conditions are not ideal for rise, the cover can secure the creating bug grown-up for quite a long time or significantly more. The grown-up bug does not rise until a potential host is identified by vibration, rising levels of carbon dioxide and body warmth connected with the host. A pet strolling by, or individuals moving in the house caution the bug to rise up out of its case to encourage. When an insect has risen up out of the case, it will start taking a blood feast on a host inside of 24-48 hours. Not long after the first dinner, grown-up insects will mate and the female bugs start laying eggs on her host inside of a couple of days. Female bugs are not ready to lay eggs until they get a blood feast.
Numerous signs can show insect movement. A typical sign would be pets that more than once scratch and prep themselves. This is brought about by the insect's distress movement as the grown-up bugs feast upon the pet's blood. Individuals additionally may experience nibbles which abandon bothersome chomp denote (a medicinal specialist can be counseled, since there are different wellsprings of skin aggravation close to bugs). Insect earth, the grown-up bug excrement, additionally can show action. Insect earth appears to be like coarse ground dark pepper and may be found in pet beds, floor coverings, carpets and different regions where the creature host rests. Perused more on flea infestations.
Bugs are not typically discovered swarming a mortgage holder's overnight boardinghouses. Bugs that are seen in quaint little inns are doubtlessly there just to take a blood feast or were maybe unstuck from the creature if the pet is permitted to rest in the same bed as the mortgage holder. Be that as it may, if the mortgage holder does not wash and change the bedding for quite a while, it is conceivable that the juvenile phases of the bugs could take up habitation in a bed or bedding. The more probable circumstance is that insect eggs, hatchlings and pupae are living under the bed or, considerably more probable, are living in the quaint little inn of the family pet(s).
Identifying the bug species bringing about the issue.

Despair – a poem.
On June 29, 2017 July 4, 2017 By Mick CanningIn agriculture, comment, poetry, poverty, writing30 Comments
She counts the tomato flowers:
One, two, three, four,
On the stunted plant.
Forever waiting.
Hoping….still hoping.
Old plastic sheeting and palm fronds.
Dry ground and hot sun.
Stunted children,
One, two, three, four.
With spindle legs,
And hard, round stomachs,
Lie beneath the palm fronds.
Silently.
Flies,
Around dry mouths,
And dull eyes.
A few onions,
Some spinach.
Dry soil.
He was a farmer.
Poor harvests.
And debt.
All he grew was hunger.
This year, he takes another loan to buy seeds
But this year will be different.
He will keep one tenth of the crop
For the seeds
Next year,
There will be no more debt.
No more hunger.
There is a harvest.
Jubilation.
Sterile seeds.
Although he has paid back some money,
The debt has trebled.
That land was his,
Over there,
On the other side of the village.
That land covered in waste,
Hope buried under rubbish.
The future smothered with despair.
The land that belongs to someone who lives
In the nearby town.
Someone who has never seen it.
The next day,
She pulls up one onion.
Picks some spinach.
Boils some water for her children.
One, two three…
Her fatherless children.
In India every year, large numbers of farmers take their own lives when they become trapped in a cycle of poverty, high-interest debt, and bad harvests. And to compound their problems, certain huge multi-national companies are developing seeds that produce only sterile plants, meaning that the farmer cannot use harvested seed to grow new crops, and has no choice but to buy seed again the following year, sinking further into that hopeless spiral.
The government seems unwilling or unable to do anything to break this cycle.
The Kashmir Issue
On June 12, 2017 By Mick CanningIn history, India, Kashmir, Pakistan, politics58 Comments
I posted a little while back that I had prepared a rather contentious post.
Of course, I realise I risk being shot down in flames over this post. An Englishman blogging on what he thinks might be the solution to an incredibly difficult problem in the Sub-continent. So I will put on my tin hat, duck behind the sandbags, and press 'Publish'.
As always, I welcome your comments. In fact, it is probably pointless my posting this unless there is a conversation. But, please, keep it polite.
Obviously, I am not the only person to have thought of this idea. Indeed, I read about it a long time ago, when these various options were being discussed to the backdrop of bombs and bullets.
Plus ca change.
I fear there is only one solution that is practical in the long term, but I strongly doubt that the governments of India or Pakistan would have the courage to implement it. For the whole of Kashmir to remain in Indian hands will mean a continuation of the devastating armed conflict in progress at present, with no prospect of it ever ending, plus the ever-present prospect of it escalating into something much more serious. But for it to pass entirely into Pakistani hands would be considered out of the question by the huge majority of the Indian population, and certainly by the whole of the political class.
No, the only prospect of peace that I see is for the state of Kashmir to be partitioned in much the same way as India herself was in 1947. The areas of Muslim majority such as the Vale of Kashmir would need to be ceded to Pakistan, and the remaining ones would remain part of India. Pakistan and the insurgents would need to agree to give up all claims to these areas. This would need to be achieved by negotiation in good faith with goodwill on both sides, both conscious of the risks and the monumental steps they are taking to finally establish permanent peace, and to restore prosperity to a troubled part of the sub-continent. And upon resolution, all parties would need to declare very publicly that this was a solution agreeable to all, and give it their blessing.
It is not as though there is no precedent to that arrangement. After all, both the Punjab and Bengal were divided this way at independence, and although it was strongly resented by some, it was also generally viewed as the only practical solution. And it is what should have happened to Kashmir, then.
If the difficulties in the way of this solution are huge, then so too are the incentives for success. It goes without saying that the loss of life and the devastation caused by the troubles are highly undesirable in the first place, and then there is the massive drain in resources to both sides by keeping huge forces established on either side of the border. With the prospect of peace, then agriculture, industry and tourism could return to normal with major benefits for everyone involved. Lastly, with the removal of the 'Kashmir Issue' as a friction between them, it is possible that both sides might finally come to the sort of mutual respect, collaboration, and friendship envisioned back in 1947. Even if the attempt were to end in failure, then the goodwill generated by the attempt could be a positive that might spill over into other areas of India / Pakistan relations.
The alternative solution, sometimes mooted, of an independent Kashmir under UN jurisdiction, appears an unworkable ideal. The state itself is too divided for this to work, and both Indian and Pakistani players would still covert the whole country. It is unlikely that conflict would cease under these conditions; it would be more likely to simply escalate. The small state would forever be reliant on the UN for security, leading to a constant financial drain on the organisation. The peacekeepers, too, would inevitably become military targets raising the risk of new frictions arising.
I believe that the option of doing nothing is one that must be finally put aside. At present the situation is one where a resented and hated military presence governs within its own borders through fear and the threat of violence, That is not a situation that is likely to ever change to trust. The population are never going to learn to love their rulers that way. The only option in that situation is the eternal continuation of the status quo.
But it lies within the power of the regional players to solve this crisis once and for all, and it is essential that the attempt is made.
Bodhgaya (1)
On August 18, 2016 January 31, 2017 By Mick CanningIn Bihar, Bodhgaya, India, photographs, travel92 Comments
I spent a total of 2 months in Bodhgaya, Bihar, but I seemed to end up with surprisingly few photographs of the town and surrounding countryside. Here are a selection of them, though, and I may put a few more up sometime soon. Hence the somewhat tentative 'part one' in the title.
Bodhgaya is a world heritage site, because the Mahabodhi Temple was built at the site where the Buddha is supposed to have achieved enlightenment, some 2500 years ago. The original temple was built by the emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BC. The current temple dates from the 11th century AD, and was restored in 1882 by the Burmese. Surrounded by the usual frenetic Northern Indian crowds, and visited by a huge number of pilgrims and visitors, the temple and grounds still manage to somehow achieve an unbelievably peaceful ambience.
The Bhodi tree at the Mahabodhi Temple. It is a third generation descendant of the tree under which the Buddha is supposed to have achieved enlightenment.
Thai temple, Bodhgaya. As well as the Mahabodhi Temple, Bodhgaya also has temples built by virtually every country with a sizeable Buddhist population. As befits the place where the Buddha originally achieved enlightenment, it is an active Buddhist centre with many charitable projects set up and running.
Dawn over Sujata Village, Bodhgaya. This was often the view that greeted me when I walked across the dry bed of the River Phalgu from Bodhgaya to the village of Sujata, in the cool of the morning. A rich reward for getting up early!
Hindu temples on the edge of Sujata Village.
Fields in Sujata Village. In the vast majority of Indian villages, fields are still worked by hand or with animal labour. here is no exception.
Farms at the edge of Bodhgaya. Although Bihar is the most corrupt, poverty-ridden state in India, sitting at the bottom of the table in almost any set of statistics that you may care to consult, the land appears lush and fertile, supporting a strong agriculture.
And whilst we're on a rural theme…a street corner in Bodhgaya.
Monks heading for morning puja (ceremony) in Sujata.
Temple door in Bodhgaya.
Dawn in Bodhgaya. The moslems are heading for the mosque, whilst most of the others are heading for work, for puja at Hindu or Buddhist temples, or to find breakfast.
I was after breakfast.

Missing Sales Estimates, Standard Life Blames Corporate Pensions
Standard Life, Scotland's biggest insurer, has revealed that sales rose 10% in the first nine months of the year, missing estimates.
(November 2, 2011) — British insurer Standard Life has revealed that it has missed sales growth expectations, largely blaming the shortfall on corporate pension schemes.
According to the insurer, its shortfall came as a result of corporate pension fund decisions to remain with existing providers rather than switch. "Pension scheme trustees when they see a lot of volatility tend not to move schemes," Standard Life finance director Jackie Hunt told reporters on a conference call, according to Reuters. "They don't want to be out of the market even for a couple of hours."
Scotland's largest insurer revealed that sales role 10% in the first nine months of the year, missing estimates.
Chief executive David Nish commented: "The third quarter saw very challenging conditions in global financial markets which have impacted values of assets and customer confidence, reducing the pace of fund flows…Although the economic backdrop continues to be uncertain, the outlook for our business is positive and we are confident in the future growth opportunities in our chosen markets."
In October, hoping to recover its value following the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Standard Life sued 11 of its insurers who refused to pay a claim related to a cash injection into one of its pension funds. In a court hearing earlier, Sandy Crombie, Standard Life's former chief executive officer and chairman, testified, noting that the company's response to the losses was motivated by a desire to do "the right thing." Last year, Standard Life was fined £2.45 million by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), which said it had misled investors.

How the Bible was Preserved
Analysis of the biblical writings attests to its accurate preservation through skilful and carefully prescribed methods confirming the Bible we have today is a reliable and authentic record of the original writings.
The Hebrew Old Testament has been hand copied meticulously by teams of Jewish scribes over the centuries. Jewish scribes developed intricate methods of counting words and letters to ensure that no errors had been made. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls confirmed the astonishing accuracy of Old Testament books. The scrolls were some 1000 years older than the previous oldest scrolls yet other than some minor issues, agree with the modern text.
A comparison with other ancient writings gives us a good measure of the reliability of the New Testament. F.F. Bruce, wrote in The New Testament Documents,
"For Caesar's Gallic Wars (composed between 58 and 50 BC) only 9 or 10 are good, and the oldest is some 900 years later than Caesar's day...Of the 14 books of Tacitus (c. 100 AD)...the text of these historical works depends entirely on two manuscripts, one of the 9th century and one of the 11th. ... The History of Thucydides (c. 460-400 BC) is known to us from 8 manuscripts, the earliest belonging to AD 900...The same is true of the history of Herodotus (488-428 BC). Yet no classical scholar would listen to an argument that the authenticity of Herodotus or Thucydides is in doubt because the earliest manuscripts of their works of any use to us are over 1,000 years later than the originals" (The New Testament Documents, F.F. Bruce, p.16-17).
J. Harold Greenlee also wrote,
"There are 8,000 manuscripts of the Latin Vulgate and at least 1,000 for other early versions. Add over 4,000 Greek manuscripts (some say 5,000) and we have 13,000 manuscript copies of portions of the New Testament" (Introduction to the Textual Criticism of the New Testament, J. Harold Greenlee, p.29).
There are over 13,000 copies of New Testament manuscripts compared to only 10 copies of Caesar's Gallic Wars, and about 8 copies of the history of Herodotus. The accuracy of the New Testament as it was originally composed to what we have today is very high when compared to any other ancient writing of the same era.

Photographic reproduction of the Great Isaiah Scroll, the best preserved of the biblical scrolls found at Qumran. It contains the entire Book of Isaiah in Hebrew, apart from some small damaged parts. This manuscript was probably written by a scribe of the Jewish sect of the Essenes around the second century BC. It is therefore over a 1000 years older than the oldest Masoretic manuscripts.
