Finding a tutor for your children isn't an easy task at all. Just like any other thing today, tutoring has also evolved into a multi-billion-dollar industry, for all kinds of students – weak, average, successful – offering them a sea of educational resources. And once again, like anything else, the Internet can get you tutors too. For example, I found some really good tutors at https://answershark.com.
But whether you hire a tutor online, or you hire a tutor in person, you need to ensure that the tutor will help your child excel at academics,and that your child will get exactly what she wants. And to do that, you need to question the tutor thoroughly, to know him well, before he/she is hired. Wondering what you should ask a potential tutor for your child ? You've come to the right place.
Who will do the tutoring?
Often you have to talk to a tutoring company representative, if you contact a private tutoring company. So if you want to trust the company and hire the right person for your kids, find out if you get to choose a tutor, which will be appropriate for your child. Also clear all your doubts from the company – like if someday the tutor is absent, will there be a substitute tutor ? You need to know the tutor well before hiring, so that your child gets only what is best for him /her.
What are the tutor's qualifications?
You need to know the tutor's qualifications and experiences to ensure that he/she can prove to be of help in the domains of those subjects your child needs help with. It's not always compulsory that the tutor you hire must be a a teacher for your child's grade level. For example – A good Biology tutor for your child in High school might have experience of teaching college-level Biology, instead of teaching at high school level. But he should at least be certified to have learnt the subject himself and have a good knowledge of it.
What is the tutor's track record?
Does the tutor have any experience in teaching other students of your child's age group ? Has he/she been recommended by other parents or teachers ? Does he have evidences of success in elevating a student's performance; like better test results and higher classroom grades, or Satisfaction surveys filled by former students or their guardians.
When and where will the tutor take the sessions?
Most parents opt for online tutoring because they do not trust their child to be safe at some place away from home. But if you think you are okay with sending your child outdoors, you must know where the child will be taught to feel safe. Also, do enquire about the number of sessions per week, tutoring curriculum, etc.
How does the tutor measure the pupil's progress?
You must ask the tutor what study plan will he/she devise for your child and how the child's progress will be assessed. If the tutor gives written reports, get a sample one beforehand to know how effective it can be.
How often will the tutor communicate with you and the child's teacher?
For a child to excel at studies, it's a must that the child's teacher and tutor, both work in coordination towards the same goal. Therefore, they should communicate with each other often and discuss the child's progress, weaknesses, strengths, etc.
So, if you're satisfied with the tutor's answers to these questions you should consider hiring the tutor. Also, if there's any other question on your mind, do not hesitate to ask.
But remember, Tutoring isn't a magic bullet, so even if you hire the most qualified tutor in town, you will also have to play a role in the child's learning to ensure there is progress. A good tutor will suggest you on how to support your child's learning. We hope this was helpful for you to find your child a new tutor. Best of luck!

Q: Component applying ng-disabled to child component I'm learning Angular js v1.5 and I'm doing some experiments with components. I have designed 2 components:

*

*A circular button, called "circular button".

*A component wrapping a circular button and a text field, called "counter button". This component is used in my example to show a counter next to the circular button. It would be like the 'like' or 'dislike' button on youtube.

Template code for the circular button:
<button
    class="circular-button {{ $ctrl.config.color }}"
    ng-click="$ctrl.onClick()">
    {{ $ctrl.config.text }}
</button>

Circular button component definition code:
components.component('circularButton', {
    bindings: {
        onClick: '&',
        config: '<'
    },
    templateUrl: '/views/components/photos-circular-button.html'
});

Template code for the "counter button" component:

    <circular-button
        config="$ctrl.buttonConfig"
        on-click="$ctrl.action()"></circular-button>

{{ $ctrl.counter }}

And the component definition code for it:
components.component('counterButton', {
    bindings: {
        onButtonClick: '&',
        counter: '<',
        buttonConfig: '<'
    },
    templateUrl: '/views/components/photos-counter-button.html',
    controller: function () {
        var ctrl = this;
        ctrl.disabled = false;
        ctrl.action = function () {
            ctrl.counter++;
            ctrl.onButtonClick();
        }
    }
});

So the basic behaviour for all of this would be that when you click on the button, the counter increments in 1. Right now, the parent component, "counter-button" passes a function to be executed when the user clicks the circular button, using the bindings property like this:
onClick: '&'

This way the parent component injects the function to be called. I did this following the Angular Component documentation here:
https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/component
On the section "Example of a component tree".
So far no problems, everything works great. But now I want to add more functionality to the component, and I would like the circular button to disable when the user clicks on it, so one user is only able to increment the counter once. Once again, like the 'like' button on a youtube video for example.
For this I've tried to add the ng-disabled directive to the counter-button template like this:

    <circular-button
        config="$ctrl.buttonConfig"
        on-click="$ctrl.action()" ng-disabled="$ctrl.disabled"></circular-button>

{{ $ctrl.counter }}

And in the component controller:
controller: function () {
    var ctrl = this;
    ctrl.disabled = false;
    ctrl.action = function () {
        ctrl.counter++;
        ctrl.disabled = true; //NEW LINE OF CODE.
        ctrl.onButtonClick();
    }
}

But this does not work because the ng-directive is applied to the <circular-button></circular-button> element, and not to the button inside of it, logically.
So let's say, if I don´t want to add another binding to the circular button with the variable who will disable the button, because I want to keep the circular button as generic as possible, how could I do to disable the button from the parent component (or whatever client of the circular button) who uses it?
Maybe I'm not having the right approach to the situation, if you think that this could be done better any other way I would be more than happy to try it. Thanks in advance guys!

A: This doesn't exactly cascade the ng-disabled down, but I ran across your question while trying to solve a similar problem I had. I essentially created bindable properties in each component for the "isDisabled" flag.
Component like
app.component('outerComponent', {
  controller: (function() {
    function OuterController() { this.myOuterDisabledProperty = false }
    return OuterController;
  })(),
  templateUrl: 'outerComponent.html',
  bindings: { myOuterDisabledProperty: '=' }
});

app.component('innerComponent', {
  controller:(function() {
    function InnerController() { this.myInnerDisabledProperty = false }
    return InnerController;
  })(),
  templateUrl: 'innerComponent.html',
  bindings: { myInnerDisabledProperty: '=' }
});

...and template like

Outer Component - disabled: {{$ctrl.myOuterDisabledProperty}}

 <inner-component my-inner-disabled-property="$ctrl.myOuterDisabledProperty"></inner-component>

BOZEMAN – Noelle Coniglio of Eagle River and Grant Klug of Anchorage are among 12 National Merit Scholars who have enrolled at Montana State University for the fall semester.
Coniglio is majoring in exercise science and Klug in chemical engineering.
The students had scores that were in the top 1 percent of all initial entrants in the National Merit Scholarship competition.
The process of becoming a National Merit Scholar begins with an annual preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship qualifying test, given each fall. From the initial testing, about 50,000 students are identified as potential semifinalists, based on their scores. Roughly 16,000 will make the cut.
Semifinalists are required to submit final SAT scores, high school academic records, endorsements and recommendations from school officials and an application that includes extracurricular and volunteer activities and a personal essay. Those students who are judged to have excelled in all areas, approximately 15,000 of the original 1.6 million students, will be chosen as National Merit finalists.
As well as being National Merit scholars, all of the 12 incoming freshmen are members of the Honors College.

Tower Ballroom
in Archive, Venues
The Tower Ballroom, near the 'reser' was a great venue, and like the Locarno, had a revolving stage.
Many star and local acts appeared here over the few decades it was open.
It was also well known for it's 'Grab-a-Granny' nights, and I spent many night on those ocassions, even though most fellas, there were only in their 20's and 30's!
Sadly The Tower, closed down and was derilict for a while, untill recently and now, local people who are delighted the Tower Ballroom is once again as a live entertainment venue. Entrepreneur Liam O'Connor has taken the derelict ballroom, complete with its revolving stage,
and spent almost half-a-million pounds restoring it to its former glory.
Its grand reopening with a champagne reception featured 1960s stars Mike Pender's Searchers,
the Merseybeats and the Cufflinks.
As a lifelong supporter of Chelmsley Wood Boxing Club, Limerick-born Mr O'Connor, who also runs the Kerryman pub in Digbeth, said he was planning amateur and professional boxing matches and various activites, involving the whole community
Its prime aim is to attract an over-25s audience. Other entertainers to appear here include the
American Four Tops, Abba UK, Joe Longthorne, the American Drifters, the Extreme Supremes and the Union Gap.

Digbeth Civic Hall (Institute)
The Digbeth Institute is a 2,000+ capacity music venue in Digbeth, which has been synonymous in the development of the British rave music and drum and bass scene.
Capacity: 1,500 (The Institute), 600 (The Library), 300 (The Temple)
A former church and theatre, the venue is now called the Sanctuary and was the original home of Godskitchen`s weekly club nights.
As well as Godskitchen, The Digbeth Institute / Sanctuary has also played host to famous club nights such as Atomic Jam, Uproar, Slinky, Sundissential, Athletico, Ramshackle and Panic.
Many influential hip hop artists performed at Digbeth Institute including Redman and Keith Murray.
Designed by Arthur Harrison, it was officially opened January 16, 1908 by the wife of the Pastor of Carrs Lane Church, John Henry Jowett, as an institutional church attached to Carr's Lane Congregational Church.
In the week that followed, it hosted a variety of acts.
The area which surrounded it was predominantly slums and industrial.
In 1954, the building was put up for sale by the trustees as they felt the building was not needed for its originally intended use. It was bought by Birmingham City Council in 1955 for £65,000 and was used as a civic hall.
The exterior is a mixture of red brick and grey terracotta.The grey terracotta forms the more ornate features of the facade including the three towers, the 1.65 metre tall allegorical figures and the window and door frames.
The allegorical figures are believed to be the work of John Evans, the chief modeller for Gibbs & Canning.
The drawings of the building by Arthur Harrison do not include the figures, indicating that these were probably added in 1909.[2] The building is Grade B locally listed.
People known to have made speeches at the Digbeth Institute include Neville Chamberlain, Henry Usborne, Florence L. Barclay and Herbert Hensley Henson.
In 1987, the building was used as a film studio by the Birmingham Film and Video Workshop for the Channel 4 film 'Out Of Order'. The venue later appeared onscreen again, when it played a part as one of the main locations in the feature film 'Lycanthropy', filmed in 2005-2006.
At the rear of the Institute was The 'Jug 'O Punch Folk Club, which thrived in the 60's. on Thursday nights.
The club was run by Ian Campbell, for me the most under-rated influence in folk music and a man whose influence rates alongside that of Ewan MacColl.
The Ian Campbell Folk Group included the great Dave Swarbrick, Ian's sister Lorna – whose singing was unsurpassed in Britain and the late John Dunkerley.
The group had also included one Dave Phillips, and later Dave Pegg on bass, who was to join Jethro Tull,
and Fairport Convention
Ron Brinsdon sent in this ticket stub of The Fall's gig here.
Photo below via Dave Travis "Here's a photo that I took at the last night at The Rum Runner or 'Demolition Party' as it was referred to."
The Rum Runner nightclub was opened on Broad Street in the Birmingham city centre in 1964. It was demolished in 1987.
One of the first 'house' bands, playing the cover versions of the day, became Magnum featuring Bob Catley and Tony Clarkin. They left the club in 1975 to play their own material of melodic rock.
Ray Berrow, who along with brother Don, their sister Tissy and another brother, were the original owners. Paul Berrow started at the club washing glasses, as did his younger brother, Michael. Ray and Don Berrow were all bookmakers.
Paul and Michael Berrow, relaunched the club with an eclectic power playlist borrowed from Studio 54 in New York. Roxy Music and David Bowie nights were accompanied by jazz funk nights which were strongly influenced by New York's Chic powerdisco.
A real milestone in the history of the Rum Runner was when a newly-formed group of musicians called Duran Duran walked in one day with a tape. There was an instant mutual appeal between the Berrows and the band, and the Berrows offered Duran Duran a place to rehearse and play gigs.
The band found themselves becoming heavily involved with the running of the club with John Taylor working the door, Nick Rhodes deejaying for £10 a night, Roger Taylor working as a glass collector and Andy Taylor polishing mirrors, painting and cooking burgers for cash. Duran Duran quickly became the resident band at the venue.
After many months, Michael and Paul Berrow signed as Duran Duran's managers. The Berrows and the band then formed the Tritec Music company (named after the triangular-themed bar inside the club). The label used the Rum Runner office upstairs from the club as its official address. Paul & Michael's father was a well known in the Birmingham entertainment scene. Michael mortgaged his house to make funds for their supporting act roll for Hazel O'Connors UK tour.
In developing the club's musical identity they also gave free rehearsal space to bands like Dexys Midnight Runners and UB40, with The Beat filming a video for their song 'Mirror In The Bathroom' taking full advantage of the many mirrors that walled the club.
As time went by they opened more and more different evenings and one of the residents became DJ Dick who later went on to form Rockers Hi-Fi and who now hosts the city's main Funk Acid Jazz night called Leftfoot, situated at The Medicine Bar.
Notable denizens of the club included De Harriss, Mulligan, and Marlon Recchi of Fashion, Martin Degville and other members of Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Nigel & Jimmy (managers), Al Beard (security), and Liam (general socialite).

This multi-talented West Midlands group gained international success
in the late 1960s and early 1970s, particularly in the USA where they
attracted a large following.
In Britain, they are remembered mostly for some memorable
and ground-breaking singles and albums that scored high chart placings
during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Traffic was formed when Steve Winwood, who was the focal point of the Spencer Davis Group
(see Spencer Davis Group), decided to move beyond the restrictions of the group
and form his own band consisting of other Birmingham area musicians.
Guitarist Dave Mason had been a member of the Worcester group The Hellions
in the early 1960s along with drummer Jim Capaldi (see The Hellions).
Jim Capaldi had continued with The Hellions who were re-named Deep Feeling
after Dave Mason's departure and to help pay the rent,
Dave worked as a roadie for the Spencer Davis Group.
Saxophone/flute player Chris Wood who was born in Harborne, Birmingham on 24 June 1944,
had been a member of the group Locomotive and previous to that,
had been in Sounds Of Blue who later became Chicken Shack.
The four musicians would often get together on stage at a hip club called The Elbow Room
on Aston High Street in Birmingham and it was there that the idea for Traffic was formed.
With Dave Mason and Jim Capaldi eager to form a new band,
Steve Winwood agreed to join the partnership along with Chris Wood
and so the four retreated to a secluded (and reportedly haunted) cottage in Aston Tirrold, Berkshire
in order to write and rehearse new material.
The cottage was to become a place of legend as regular visitors included musicians such as
Eric Burdon, Pete Townshend and Eric Clapton as well as
Trevor Burton (of The Move) amongst many others.
The new group was named Traffic (an action that prompted an obscure south London band
called Traffic Jam to re-name themselves Status Quo)
and was given full financial backing by Island Records boss Chris Blackwell
who intended to promote the band to help the launch of Island Records as a major act label.
Traffic in 1967
With Steve Winwood's involvement, the group was assured at least initial success
and Traffic's first single Paper Sun was released in the summer of 1967.
With production by Jimmy Miller and composed by Steve Winwood with Jim Capaldi
supplying the captivating lyrics, the song was just right for the times
and featured an Indian sitar played prominently by Dave Mason.
The single reached No. 5 in the charts and brought the group to the forefront
of the British psychedelic or "flower power" movement that was sweeping
the country at the time.
The next Traffic single was even more adventurous and was composed and sung by Dave Mason.
The song was supposedly inspired by a dream Dave had at the cottage
(although certain substances he was taking may have also played a part)
and the recording featured his innovative use of the Mellotron.
Hole In My Shoe became one of the most memorable songs of the 1960s
and captured the psychedelic atmosphere of 1967 with as much impact as
The Pink Floyd's See Emily Play.
It also established Dave Mason as a major songwriting talent
with the recording reaching No. 3 in the British charts (years later, a version of Hole In My Shoe
was recorded by Neil from the hit BBC TV comedy show The Young Ones
with the song again making the top ten).
By November 1967, a third Traffic single entitled Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush
had been released and was also used as the title track of a film which also included songs
by Steve Winwood's previous band The Spencer Davis Group.
Traffic's live shows at this time included a lot of on-stage jamming and improvisation
as well as extended solos by the individual members –
something quite unusual in Britain for a pop group in those days and an indication of things to come.
December of 1967 saw the release of Traffic's first album entitled Mr Fantasy
which showcased the individual talents of the members and proved that
Dave Mason, Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood were more than just a backing group for Steve Winwood. The album also showed Dave Mason writing as a separate entity and indicated a clash of songwriting styles
with Dave Mason's melodic and commercial compositions contrasting alongside
the more jazz-influenced songs of the other group members.
Possibly spurred by the success of Hole In My Shoe, Dave Mason left the group in December,
supposedly to begin a solo career, only to rejoin the band in May of 1968.
Traffic then recorded another successful self-titled album, to which Mason
contributed the classic song Feelin' Alright, a composition that became much covered
by other artists but Mason left again in October of 1968 and a few months later, the group activities ceased.
Fearing the worst, Island Records released a "new" Traffic album called Last Exit
made up of leftover recordings, single B-sides, and some assorted live material.
A compilation entitled The Best Of Traffic was also released.
Meanwhile Steve Winwood teamed up with legendary guitarist
Eric Clapton and drummer Ginger Baker and along with bass player Rick Grech,
formed the much publicized and short lived "supergroup" Blind Faith.
When that group split, Winwood joined Ginger Baker's new group "Airforce"
which at one time had also included Birmingham musicians
Trevor Burton (see The Move) and Denny Laine (see The Moody Blues).
Mason, Capaldi and Wood tried forming another band called Wooden Frog
but it was short-lived and had split up by March 1969.
In January 1970, Steve Winwood started work on a long-awaited solo album
and was joined in the studio by Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood.
The resulting sessions were so successful that Traffic was reformed minus Dave Mason
and the album produced from the recordings entitled John Barleycorn Must Die
was released as a group effort.
The album was critically acclaimed and became a big seller.
After enlisting top session players to the line-up, Traffic toured both the UK and the USA
where a live recording of their version of Gimme Some Loving
(originally recorded by Steve Winwood's old band The Spencer Davis Group) made the charts.
Further Traffic albums were released in the early 1970s and were big sellers,
particularly in America where the group had a large following, but by 1974,
Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood were all concentrating on solo careers.
Chris Wood died from liver disease in July of 1983 at only 39 years of age.
Jim Capaldi released his first solo album in 1974 and scored a top five hit in Britain
in October of 1975 with Love Hurts.
He has appeared on recordings by many other well known performers
and has made several best-selling albums. Jim also occasionally collaborated
with his former bandmate Steve Winwood which included a Traffic re-union in 1994.
Jim Capaldi passed away on January 28, 2005 after a battle with cancer.
Dave Mason had moved permanently to the USA by the early 1970s
and established a successful solo career there which apart from making top selling albums,
included collaborations with Mamas & Papas singer Cass Elliot and occasional appearances
with the 1970s line-up of Traffic.
Despite battles with drugs and alcohol, he scored a big hit single in the States
with We Just Disagree in the late 1970s and continues to record and tour there
although he remains almost unknown in his native Britain
where he is remembered mainly for his contributions as part of Traffic.
Steve Winwood appeared on recording sessions for many well known musicians
throughout the 1970s and in 1981, began a predictably successful solo career.
His 1986 album Back In The High Life received a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in the USA
while hit singles such as Valerie and Higher Love have scored high chart placings in many countries.
Although Steve Winwood has not enjoyed such a high profile in recent years,
he remains a major talent on the world music scene and continues to record
and perform today in between spending time at his farm in Oxfordshire.
Traffic were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2004.

Brum Beat
Town Hall, Birmingham – 8th May 1974
Birmingham Odeon
A once beautiful cinema, now divided into eight screens. The Paramount Theatre opened on 4th September 1937 with Errol Flynn in "Charge of the Light Brigade".
Mothers (Carlton Ballroom)
Mothers as it is today. The club was the top floor above both shops.
This was a favourite haunt of mine, and a significant part of Brum Beat life, including my own.
The club opened 1968 and closed 1971.
In this time over 400 acts performed there, incuding many 'Super Groups' Here are just a few:
Led Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd, Family, Alvin Lee.
Other bands were like an 'who's-who' Taste, Liverpool Scene, Fleetwood Mac, Edgar Broughton Band, Traffic, Free, Roy Harper, Blodwyn Pig, Strawbs, Fairfield Parlour, Quintessence, Steppenwolf, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, Jon Hisemans Colosseum, Nice, Tyrannosaurus Rex, The Who, Fairport Convention, King Crimson and hundreds more.
Pink Floyd recorded part of their album Ummagumma at Mothers on 1969-04-27.
John Peel, who was present, was moved to say, In a moment they unfold sonorous layers one on the other in a sinfonico bang; to another block, incredibly melancholic sounds that are intersected between them as plants of dying galaxies lost in time corridors and space.The Who performed Tommy and Traffic's world debut took place at Mothers along with fledgling rock bands like Black Sabbath playing some of their earliest gigs there.
What they said: John Peel: People are amazed to hear that for a few years the best club in Britain was in Erdington.
Roy Harper: Oh blimey – that was the first club outside London that meant anything at all and that's why there's been this long association with Birmingham. I played there about six times between 1968 and 1970. I have always enjoyed playing here.
Mother's was acclaimed as one of the most significent Progressive Rock clubs in history. I had the pleasure of meeting John Peel at Mothers, it is a meeting, I will treasure all my life.
Here is the blog from my web-site;-
John Peel, A Pint and Me!!
It was in February 1969, that I met John Peel, at 'Mothers' a club, in Birmingham's, Erdington High Street.
John, who had written the sleeve notes for the 1969 Velvett Fogg Album, had been playing tracks off the album constantly on his radio shows. He was in Birmingham, visiting the club, which was renowned for its Progressive music acts. I was there the same evening as John and I introduced myself, and he and I had a couple of pints, and discussed both his sleeve notes, and my participation in the album. It is a night, I will of course, remember.
On the sleeve notes John Peel commented "There is a lot of good music on this record. Remember Velvett Fogg – you will hear the name again."
Here's a piece posted by Stircher on The Birmingham History Forum
Re: Mothers Club Erdington
I worked as a bouncer for Mothers AKA The Carlton AKA Carlton Johns Agency. It is not widely known but Mothers was a huge stepping stone for Brum Groups. Groups looking to make it in the music scene were allowed to play at Mothers for free by way of an audition. If they went down well, they would be booked to play at all the peripherals for a proper fee. John Singer was the owner and he had a team of about twelve managers or partners. I am not sure about that side of things. These twelve were in charge of Different venues around Birmingham. I said I worked for Mothers, that is true but I was mostly at these outer venues. I worked at 'The Sydenham' in Small Heath, 'The Station' in Selly Oak, 'The Hollybush' in Quinton and 'The Bull' in Hay Mills. I did the odd night here and there at Mothers and saw some great names there.
Here are a couple of posts from The Birmingham History Forum
Roy C..
I was at mothers when the "Fairies " were playing and John Bonhan was in the audience Pissed. And he had a drumming "Battle" with the "Fairies" drummer and came second….There were socks and under-pants thrown in to the audience from the end of drum-sticks…Say no more……..Also there when Floyd recorded Umma Gumma and they did "Careful with that Axe Eugene" absolutely the best performance I seen there….walked back to Sheldon afew times at Christmas….
Ps I have still got my "Mothers" Membership card..

It was the 'place to be' in Erdington 1950s along with the Milk Bar a couple of doors away and the Coffee Bar further up towards the Green.
Oh to go back to the days of fluorescent coloured socks(for girls and boys)

Syd Wall was a regular at Mothers and on the 'scene' in Birmingham at this time. Sys has sent some really incredible posters and photos into the archive and I'll be adding to them over the next few weeks but they really are amazing and shed a light on the consideration and detail and thought given to the design process of promo posters for Mothers (and others) during this period. Simply stunning.
Henry's Blues House
Hill Street/Station Street
Henry's Blues House was great venue, and was situated on the corner of Hill Street and Station Street. It featured many of the up and coming local blues,and R&B bands, including Robert Plant, Crawling Kingsnakes and Band Of Joy. Led Zeppelin was one of the first bands to play there.
Band Of Joy
Jim Simpson was a well known musician and band manager and photographer for the Midland Beat newspaper.He was manager and trumpet player of the pop group Locomotive, and opened the club seeing the potential for his band in playing at the venue.
Earth then Black Sabbath
Thinking this might be a good opportunity, the members of Earth the name before Black Sabbath approached Jim to see if they could perform there too. Jim Simpson was at that time managing local bands Bakerloo Blues Line and Tea & Symphony. It was obvious that Earth needed a manager who understood their music so Jim allowed them to open for the well-known band Ten Years After at the club. The audience response to Earth's performance was favourable so Simpson also agreed to manage them

Jim Simpson hosted a talk about Henry's at The Crown where regulars attended and talked about some of the great bands that they had seen play there and the memories of the music and wider cultural landscape of Birmingham. The talk was attended by an ex-member of Henry's, Member 199 according to the membership card he brought with him!
Birmingham Town Hall
Birmingham Town Hall is a Grade I listed concert and meeting venue in Victoria Square England.
It was created as a home for the Birmingham Triennial Music Festival established in 1784, the purpose of which was to raise funds for the General Hospital, after St Philip's Church (later to become a Cathedral) became too small to hold the festival, and for public meetings.
Between 2002 and 2008, it was refurbished into a concert hall and is now used for performances as diverse as organ recitals, rock, pop and classical concerts and events such as graduation ceremonies for Aston University.
Joseph Hansom, of Hansom cab fame, and Edward Welch were chosen as the architects and they expressed that they expected the construction cost to be £8,000. Hill of London was hired to build the 6,000 pipe organ for £6,000.
Construction began on April 27, 1832 with an expected completion date of 1833. However, Hansom went bankrupt during construction, having tendered too low. The contractors were also losing money. Three guarantors donated money for the building;W. P. Lloyd, John Welch and Edward Tench.
With the injection of this money, the building was successfully opened for the delayed Music Festival
on October 7,1834, despite the building still being unfinished.
During construction, on January 26, 1833, two workers were killed when a 70 foot crane constructed to install the roof trusses broke and the pulley block failed. John Heap died instantly and Win Badger died a few days later from his injuries. They were buried in St Philip's churchyard and a memorial, consisting of a pillar base made by one of the workmen for the Town Hall,was dedicated to them. Architect Charles Edge was commissioned in 1835 to repair weaknesses to the design of the building.He was also commissioned for the extension of the building in 1837 and again in 1850. Built in brick, created in Selly Oak, and faced with Penmon Anglesey Marble presented to the town by Sir R. Bulkeley, proprietor of the Penmon quarries, the hall is modelled on the Temple of Castor and Pollux in Rome. Some limestone was used in its construction and fossils of plants and animals are visible. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the front arches were glazed to create an entrance foyer.
Charles Dickens gave public readings here to raise money for the Birmingham and Midland Institute, and Mendelssohn's Elijah and Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius were both premiered.
Sir Arthur Sullivan's "Overture di Ballo" was also premiered here in August 1870, as part of the Triennial Musical Festival
which commissioned new works for every season. The hall was the home venue for the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra from 1918 until 1991 when they moved to Symphony Hall.
In November 1880, the Hall was filled to capacity for a Birmingham public protest meeting in support of Revd.
Richard Enraght, Vicar of Holy Trinity, Bordesley, who was imprisoned in Warwick Prison under the Disraeli Government's
Public Worship Regulation Act.
On August 9, 1902, the town hall, along with the council house, was illuminated in celebration of the coronation of King Edward VII.
It was illuminated again on June 22, 1911 for the coronation of King George V. In 1901, it was the scene of rioting on the occasion
of a visit by Lloyd George.
It featured prominently in the 1967 Peter Watkins film Privilege and doubled for the Royal Albert Hall in 1996s Brassed Off.
In 1937, as part of the celebrations for the Coronation of George VI, the Town Hall was regaled in the various Arms of the Lord of the Manor of Birmingham since 1166 and each column festooned with garlands. The pediment also had images of Britannia, supported by mermaids, which were sculpted by William Bloye. This decorative scheme for the Town Hall and the whole of the city
was devised by William Haywood, Secretary of The Birmingham Civic Society.
The Hall closed in 1996 for a £35 million refurbishment, undertaken by Wates Construction, that has seen the
Town Hall brought back to its original glory with its 6,000-pipe organ still in place.
The Hall was used for many pop shows, and unlike the Odeon and The Hippodrome, it tended to steer toward a headline acts and just
a couple of support acts.
Many great stars appeared here, in the 1960s and 1970s, such as
The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan
I saw many shows here, including,Traffic and Buffy Saint Marie.
Ken Jones of Bright Eyes has sent an incredible list of gigs he attended at the Town Hall (and other venues) from 1964 to 1974, so a huge thanks to Ken.

Ron Brinsdon is a very active gig goer! Ron has sent in a bunch of ticket stubs from a range of venues and I'll be adding these to the site in due course but I wanted to add the Town Hall gigs Ron saw to this page. I have to say that I'm pretty jealous of who Ron saw at the Town Hall. As always, please keep sending in your memories!
Syd Wall has an amazing archive of concert posters and other Birmingham music memorabilia and this is a poster of the Tyrannosaurus Rex gig of the 15th February 1969, with John Peel hosting and featuring a David Bowie mime artist. It's a stunningly beautiful poster. If you know who designed it, or if you were there, we'd love to hear more! Thanks to Syd for sending in the picture.
Uriah Heap onstage at Birmingham Town Hall, 26th January 1973.
Golden Eagle, Hill Street circa 1981, this amazing picture sent in by Chris Bates. Spurred on by the photo of the Golden Eagle, Midge has sent these stubs of punk/anarcho punk bands that played at the venue in the early 80s
The Golden Eagle, Probably the best pub venue in the City.
Many local bands, made their name there, including the Spencer Davis Group
Spencer Davis played solo guitar spots at the Golden Eagle pub on Hill Street in Birmingham
which was at that time a hangout for the city's rhythm and blues enthusiasts.
It was there where he met the Winwood brothers while they were performing on stage
as the Muff-Woody Jazz Band in early 1963. Steve Winwood was aged 15 at the time
but he posessed a vocal style that was way beyond his years and was also talented as an instrumentalist
and alternated between guitar and piano on stage.
Finding common musical ground, Davis joined them and brought in accomplished jazz drummer
Pete York (born August 15, 1942 in Nottingham), a Birmingham University student, and the group became known as the Rhythm and Blues Quartette.
A regular visitor to the Golden Eagle R&B nights was future Slade star Noddy Holder
Legendary venue on Hill Street in the city centre. We would like to build up a history of the gigs that took place here, so if you know any of them please send them in!
The Plaza's- Handsworth and Old Hill/ The Ritz Ballroom- Kings Heath
The Old Hill Plaza was one of four venues run by the legendary Irish husband and wife team Mr and Mrs Regan. Mary 'Ma' Regan was an ex-schoolteacher and a shy but formidable woman. She came over with my grandfather Joe from Ireland when they were teenagers. During the Second World War she was a teacher and became head of PE for girls for Warwickshire. After that she opened tea shops in the Birmingham area and started tea dances. This then led to the dance halls. They started on a small scale and they had a lot of success. I remember once that Jerry Lee Lewis was due to play at one of her venues. For some reason there was an issue with his piano and they had to use my grandmother's. She set up The Plaza in High Street, Old Hill, 45 years ago. It was a dance venue, and hosted almost every top act that was in the Top 30, before later becoming a bingo hall. One of Mrs Regan's great pleasures was to tell people about The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Animals, who all played at The Plaza in the early 1960s.
Bob Bailey, who used to drive the bands, said of The Beatles: "When they played here, there was nowhere for them to stay so Ma put them up at her home in Woodbourne Road, Edgbaston." She would cook chicken and chips for The Beatles and made sure Noddy Holder stayed off the ale. The clubs became known as "the Regan circuit" Acts on the circuit included The Beatles, Kinks, The Animals, Dusty Springfield, Brenda Lee, The Searchers, The Tremeloes, Gerry and The Pacemakers, Manfred Mann, The Moody Blues, Jerry Lee Lewis and Del Shannon. In their early days, the beat groups from the Wolverhampton area set their first sights on gaining a toehold on the emerging and rapidly flourishing, Birmingham beat scene. To play at either the Plaza in Old Hill or in Handsworth or the Ritz in King's Heath (the 'Regan Circuit') was seen as being tantamount to recognition of a group as possessing genuine 'potential', especially as it was quite likely that you would be playing alongside successful chart groups from Merseyside or Manchester. Hardly any of the groups who reached the Top Thirty during the years 1963 to 1964 failed to play at one or other of the 'formidable' Ma Regan's venues. John Howells of the 'N Betweens remembers the first time his band met Ma Regan: "We had changed our name from the Vendors to the 'N Betweensand had started doing more R&B stuff. We wanted to broaden our horizons somewhat and so we went and did an audition for the Regan circuit. We had been told that Mrs. Regan was not always easy to please but she seemed to like us and our style and we got a regular Monday spot at her venues. That meant that you would have to play at two of the venues during the evening, involving a quick hike across from Old Hill to Handsworth etc." Graham Gomery feels that being accepted on to the Regan circuit was an important step forward
"Getting an audition with Ma Regan was possibly a part of winning the Big Beat Contest, I'm not really sure. Whether that was the case or not, the important thing was that when you started to play on that circuit you got an opportunity to meet and hear other, better groups and that could only be beneficial to you. Coming around on that revolving stage at the Plaza Old Hill was a real event. You felt like a star, especially when you might be following a group like the Beatles, Big Three or Merseybeats etc."
The Express & Star columnist described Ma Regan as
'a softly spoken Irish ex-school teacher who uses the same psychology with the groups as she did with school pupils, discipline and organisation' and the Plaza Old Hill as the 'principal venue in the area for up and coming groups '. It is not surprising therefore that local groups felt that the first step towards success was acceptance by Ma Regan and the opportunity to play at one or other of her venues. It was thanks to an appearance at the Plaza in Old Hill and the personal recommendation of Ma Regan that the Strangers got an offer from Decca to appear on the Brumbeat album.
Bev Bevan, ex Move and ELO wrote:-
Former schoolteacher Mary Regan and husband Joe's original ballroom venue was the Gary Owen Club in Small Heath, not far from Birmingham City's football ground, St Andrews. Then came a converted snooker hall in York Road , Kings Heath which they re-named the Ritz Ballroom. Next came the Plaza in Handsworth, and finally the Plaza in Old Hill.The most memorable day in the short but eventful life of Denny Laine and the Diplomats was that of July 5th, 1963, when we were chosen to open the show for The Beatlesat the Old Hill Plaza on the Halesowen Road.
'Ma' Regan took care of the business side of things, leaving Joe to run the venues and act as compere, usually dressed in evening suit and black dickie bow.
He would confidently announce the various bands, groups and singers in his lilting Irish brogue. The Handsworth Plaza was the biggest of the four and regularly had half a dozen or more groups performing on the same night. Old Joe was not much of a book-keeper, and a few times, on a night off, we would roll up at the Plaza", convince him that he most definitely had booked us for the night, slot in with all the other groups there and play a 30-minute set.
Then we would pick up our £12 fee and drive to Alex's pie stand in Birmingham to celebrate our little con trick. Mary and Joe Regan played a big part in the development of rock'n'roll music in the West Midlands by allowing dozens of local bands the opportunity to play these venues, in front of usually packed audiences.
They also brought to the area some top-line names. We opened for The Bachelors, Susan Maughan, Julie Grant and, also in 1963, an absurdly talented 13 year-old singer, songwriter, pianist and harmonica player who was promoting his big USA hit Fingertips. His name was Little Stevie Wonder.
But preceding The Beatles on stage – wow, this was something else indeed! Remember that this was the beginning of Beatlemania. John, Paul, George and Ringo had already had big hit records with Love Me Do and Please Please Me and had just registered their first number one with From Me To You.
They were currently topping the LP charts with their debut album Please Please Me. Because of our popularity in the Black Country, Joe Regan decided we were best suited for the unenviable task of being the group on stage directly before the biggest pop phenomenon since Elvis Presley.
Actually, the huge crowd – literally hanging from the rafters – was very good to us and many of our own fans were in the audience. Nevertheless we still got the occasional chant of "We want The Beatles, we want The Beatles" from the dominantly female crowd. This night was a double-header for the mop tops and their small roadcrew.
Firstly they were booked to appear at the Regans' other Plaza in Handsworth. Unsurprisingly, they ran late and our scheduled half-hour spot became an hour or more. Usually we would perform several Beatle songs in our set, but obviously we had to drop those from our repertoire.
Truth was, we were running out of songs to play and reverted to a couple of ambitious instrumentals. We included Hava Nagila (which had Denny playing lead guitar behind his back ) and the Dave Brubeck Quartet classic jazz piece Take Five, which featured me playing a drum solo in 5/4 time.
We realised The Beatles had finally arrived and we could hear them talking backstage. Then we saw them all watching us from the side of the stage. We finished our set, the curtains closed, the crowd now in a state of nervous, near hysterical anticipation. Then two, separate, unforgettable things happened.
Firstly, our rhythm guitarist (under strict instructions from his fiancé Gill),had the presence of mind to ask John, Paul, George and Ringo for their autographs. They all signed the reverse side of one of our Denny Laine and the Diplomats black & white, glossy, handout picture postcards. So there you have it – the four Beatles autographs on one side, and a photo of a group on the other that just happened to feature one Denny Laine, who, 10 years later, would join Paul McCartney in his band Wings.
This is a unique piece of rock'n'roll memorabilia that will one day fetch many thousands of pounds in a Sotheby's music auction. The second thing that happened is that Paul McCartney strolled over to where I was packing away my drums (no roadies in those days!) and began talking to me. Yes, Paul McCartney of The Beatles walked over to this awestruck kid from Sparkhill, Birmingham and said in his broad Liverpool accent:
"Aye mate, dat was really fab gear dat, really great like, y'know playing dat drum solo in 5/4 time like. Our drummer Ringo, he could never do dat!

Fascan donates five cranes
By Hannah Sundermeyer2018-07-18T14:08:00+01:00
US Fassi crane distributor Fascan International has donated five electric cranes to the Ocean City Reef Foundation (OCRF) of Ocean City, MD.
The new Fassi articulating cranes will be used in the construction of artificial reefs.
Valued at close to US$290,000, the cranes will be used by OCRF to load reef building materials onto barges for off load at the reef sites several miles off shore and in other ways that further the mission of the organization.
Reef building materials, which can range from scrap iron and concrete to boats and other vessels, rest on the ocean floor and become the starting point for a reef community. Mussels, sponges and corals use the new material as a foundation to create a living reef which in turn hosts populations of fish, lobsters, crabs and shrimp that feed on the reef and are food for other sea life.
As part of the contribution, Fascan dealer Crane Specialists, Inc. of Manheim, PA., will maintain the cranes to keep them operational while in OCRF's service.
"We're overwhelmed by this donation," says Monty Hawkins, OCRF's director. "These cranes will make it easier for us to not only build the aquatic ecosystem, but also stimulate economic growth for our area in the form of diving, recreational fishing and eco-tourism."
"We saw an opportunity to match equipment with an organization that needed it," says Bernie Faloney, Fascan CEO. "It's a great thing when businesses can work together to share resources —especially when it benefits the larger community."

"We can't do what we do without your support." It's something we at the Foundation tell our donors and fundraisers often, but the frequency with which we say it doesn't make it any less sincere or true.
Financial support is critical to ensuring we not only continue our work with traumatised children, but also expand our reach and keep up with demand. We have more traumatised children than ever who need our support. We also know that for every child, carer or family we help and support through the devastating impacts of abuse, there are countless others who simply aren't getting the specialised help they need, because we don't have the resources to enable us to give it.
It's why we value so highly the work of community members who decide to raise funds to support us in our goal to give as much specialised help to as many traumatised children as possible.
Yet, becoming a fundraiser is about even more than the final tally, as significant as that is to us and the children we support. It's also about connecting in a powerful way with one of Australia's most critical social issues and the work being done to address it. It's about standing up and showing (rather than telling) your friends, family, colleagues and other networks what matters to you. It's about creating an opening to share with them information they might otherwise not come across, and empower their own awareness and connection. It's about giving those people in your life an opportunity to show love and care by supporting you in an endeavour they know is close to your heart. It's about understanding that we all have the power to make a difference in some way – and it's a chance to use one passion to support another.
Fifteen-year-old Bridget Collins did all of that in one simple but very effective venture.
Bridget and her Grade 10 classmates at Mater Christi College in Belgrave, Melbourne, were tasked with doing a personal project on anything of interest to them. Bridget decided she would like to raise money to support a charity and chose to use her love of cooking to hold a fundraising afternoon tea.
She heard about the Australian Childhood Foundation through a friend of her mum's, Cyra Fernandez, who is Team Leader of our Child and Family Counselling Program at Mitcham. When she researched the Foundation, Bridget learned more about our work and came to understand just how meaningful fundraising was to us and the children we support.
She began planning a menu and trialling different recipes, and set up an online fundraising page through Everyday Hero, which she easily accessed through our website.
"I know I am very fortunate and have lots of opportunities. The Australian Childhood Foundation helps unfortunate children. I think that everyone deserves an equal shot in life and the best life possible so all the money raised at my afternoon tea will go to ACF to support their work," Bridget wrote on her fundraising page.
She sent invitations, directed people to her page to make donations online, and set herself a goal of raising $300. $823.50 later, with 18 attendees and 30 donations, Bridget's afternoon tea was an outstanding success.
We're honoured and delighted to see fantastic people like Bridget commit their passion and energy to supporting our work. We also realise that for many others, the will is there, but there's a natural uncertainty around how to go about it, and the prospect of choosing an idea or event, spreading the word and gathering donations can be more than a little daunting.
So, we've taken steps to make it as straightforward as possible. We've partnered with third party fundraisers such as Everyday Hero and GoFundraise to take all the hassle out of financial transactions. We've also created a fundraising toolkit full of tips, hints, ideas and resources.
Our donor development and fundraising coordinator Kylie White, says: "These days, there is so much great online support available to make charity fundraising much simpler than it used to be. We at the Foundation wanted to capitalise on that support, so we have created the new fundraising toolkit to give future fundraisers for the Foundation all the information they might need, right at their fingertips."
The guide covers:
Participating in an existing event, such as a fun run or triathlon
Creating your own event
Setting up an online fundraising page so you never have to handle money or receipts
A range of other supporting resources is available also, including emails, event forms, posters, a social media guide and an event checklist.
If enhancing your support of the Foundation through fundraising of any kind is something you'd like to consider, please feel free to contact Kylie at kwhite@childhood.org.au and ask for your free fundraising toolkit today. Then, all that's left is to think about what you love doing, let your imagination run wild, create or join an event that lets you put that love to good use, and get fundraising!

Residential Care in Australia
There has been ongoing concern about the safety and quality of children's experiences in Australia's residential care systems for a very long time. The ABC Four Corners program that aired last week, 'Broken Homes', is another example of the concerns that have been expressed by many. We heard again about the lack of safety experienced by the young people and the failures in the system to support staff. The program raised many questions about child protection systems in Australia. This blog reflects on some of those questions.

I'm having a bit of a problem with regards to cementing my place at the University of Nottingham.
Basically, I've just received a 2:1 in my degree and I'm looking to study a masters course in Marketing at either Nottingham or Aston uni. I was wondering if anybody knows which university is best for marketing??
I understand that the course at Aston uni is accredited by CIM (The chartered institute of marketing) but I'm not sure if nottingham's marketing course is although i have sent them an email asking about this. I also understand that Aston is ranked a few places higher than Nottingham in terms of business study although vice versa on a more general basis.

Effective immediately, the e-FRRO system for online registration and visa-related services has been extended across India.
In April 2018, the e-FRRO system was extended to all Foreigners Regional Registration Offices (FRROs) in India, and now the government has expanded the service to include all areas served by Foreigners Registration Offices (FROs).
An Indian electronic visa (e-Visa), whether for tourism, business or medical purposes, can now be used up to three times in a single calendar year. Previously, the e-Visa could only be used twice in a single calendar year.
An application for an e-Visa can be made a minimum of four days before arrival to India and a maximum of 120 days before arrival. The validity of an e-Visa is 60 days from the date of arrival in India. Double entry is permitted on an e-tourist visa or an e-business visa within the 60-day period. Triple entry is permitted on an e-medical visa.
Foreign nationals requiring visa services from an FRRO or FRO should register for an e-FRRO account.
Those wishing to complete e-FRRO/e-FRO services should exercise caution as they may face technical glitches and/or delays at this initial phase at many FRO/FRROs.

Q: Using Import syntax in React native Image Can I use import syntax instead of require as suggested by react native docs
I assume both are same. If not why? Will that improve the performance of loading images?

A: Yes, the latest React Native tutorials use the new import syntax.
The main difference is, import is ECMAScript 6(ES6) syntax and require is ECMAScript 5(ES5).

A: yes you can use import. require is old syntax and import is new one introduced in ES6.


You may notice that my weblog is down from time to time recently (showing that "Not Found Error 404" page). I'm guessing that it has something to do with the conflict between Blogger and Google Apps for Your Domain and I'm working with Google support to solve the problem. Please bear with this for now and I'll update you guys once I got this fixed. Thanks!

Thomas Morgenstern, né le  à Spittal an der Drau (Carinthie), est un sauteur à ski autrichien. Il a été trois fois champion olympique dont une fois en individuel sur le grand tremplin en 2006.

Biographie
Il est le neveu d'Alois Morgenstern, un skieur alpin.

Parcours sportif

Débuts internationaux
Après quatre podiums dont trois victoires en Coupe continentale en , Morgenstern fait ses premiers pas à 16 ans en Coupe du monde le  sur le tremplin d'Oberstdorf en prenant la neuvième place, il s'agit de la première épreuve de la Tournée des quatre tremplins. Il s'aligne ensuite sur les trois autres tremplins de la Tournée ( à Garmisch,  à Innsbruck et  à Bischofshofen). Lors de sa cinquième participation à une épreuve de Coupe du monde à Liberec, il remporte son premier succès sur le circuit devant Andreas Widhölzl et Jakub Janda, devenant le deuxième plus jeune à obtenir un succès dans l'élite du saut à ski. Il participe après aux Championnats du monde de saut à ski junior et s'adjuge les deux titres, l'individuel devant Rok Benkovic et Jan Mazoch et l'épreuve par nation avec l'Autriche en compagnie de Manuel Fettner, Christoph Strickner et Roland Müller. Il termine avec la vingtième place au classement général de la Coupe du monde 2003.

Saisons 2004 et 2005
Il commence la saison 2003-2004 par une chute en vol spectaculaire à Kuusamo, et parvient malgré ça quelques semaines plus tard à prendre la quatrième place de la Tournée des quatre tremplins. Il ne remportera finalement pas de succès durant cette saison (deux podiums au total) et terminera à la sixième place du classement général de la Coupe du monde, après avoir décroché avec l'Autriche la médaille de bronze au championnat du monde de vol à ski de 2004 à Planica dans l'épreuve par équipe. L'année suivante en 2005, s'il ne renoue toujours pas avec la victoire en Coupe du monde (mais monte sur huit podiums), il participe en revanche avec l'équipe d'Autriche aux deux titres décrochés par nations sur petit et grand tremplin aux Championnats du monde de saut à ski.

Saisons 2006
En 2006, il reste régulier dans le haut du classement (en plus d'une médaille de bronze individuelle au championnat du monde de vol à ski de 2006 à Kulm) sans toutefois remporter d'épreuve de Coupe du monde jusqu'aux Jeux olympiques d'hiver de 2006 de Turin où il s'impose sur le grand tremplin devant son compatriote Andreas Kofler pour un dixième de point (écart minimal en saut à ski !) et le Norvégien Lars Bystøl, il empoche une seconde médaille d'or avec l'équipe d'Autriche en compagnie d'Andreas Widhölzl, Martin Koch et d'Andreas Kofler devant la Finlande et la Norvège. En fin de saison, il parvient à remporter sa deuxième épreuve de coupe du monde à Lillehammer le  devant Bjørn Einar Romøren et Andreas Kofler, et s'adjugera la Tournée nordique. Il terminera aussi à la cinquième place au général de la Coupe du monde.

Saisons 2007
En 2007, il finit sixième au classement général de la coupe du monde malgré aucune victoire, mais parvient aux championnats du monde de saut à ski 2007 à récolter deux médailles, l'une d'or au concours par nation en compagnie de Wolfgang Loitzl, Kofler et Gregor Schlierenzauer, puis une de bronze sur le petit tremplin derrière le Polonais Adam Malysz et le Suisse Simon Ammann. Il remporte quelques mois après le Grand Prix d'été en gagnant trois concours.

Saisons 2008
Pour la saison 2008, il égale le record des Finlandais Janne Ahonen et de Matti Hautamaeki en s'imposant six fois d'affilée en Coupe du monde (Kuusamo (Finlande), Trondheim x2 (Norvège), Villach x2 (Autriche), Engelberg (Suisse)) et ceci lors des six premières épreuves. Mais il est stoppé lors du septième concours à Engelberg. Cependant il reste le grandissime favori pour la Tournée des quatre tremplins qui s'ouvre quelques jours après, et malgré une victoire dans la première des quatre étapes, il ne pourra rien faire ensuite contre la montée en puissance du Finlandais Janne Ahonen qui remportera finalement l'épreuve. Néanmoins il ne baisse pas le pied et après des places très régulières toujours dans les six premiers des concours suivants, il signe un doublé à Sapporo, puis à la suite du concours de Willingen, il s'assure son premier globe de cristal, synonyme de victoire au classement final de la Coupe du monde. Après cet objectif atteint, il est moins performant individuellement durant la fin de la saison, mais il remporte avec ses coéquipiers une médaille d'or par équipe lors des Championnats du monde de vol à ski à Oberstdorf (Allemagne).

Saisons 2009 et 2010
Les deux saisons suivantes sont plus dures pour lui. Il gagne à Bischofshofen en 2010, et tombe à la réception lors des Championnats du monde de Liberec, qui le prive d'une médaille individuelle sur petit tremplin. Néanmoins, il est toujours un leader de l'équipe autrichienne championne du monde, puis championne olympique à Vancouver.

Saison 2011

Thomas Morgenstern revient véritablement au sommet du saut à ski mondial lors de la saison 2010-2011, durant laquelle il remporte sept concours et un second globe de cristal. Il s'impose aussi pour la première fois dans la Tournée des quatre tremplins, et décroche un premier titre de champion du monde individuel sur le petit tremplin à Oslo, auquel s'ajoute une médaille d'argent individuelle sur le grand et deux médailles d'or par équipes.

2013-2014
Le , Morgenstern est victime d'une lourde chute lors d'un entraînement au tremplin de vol à ski de Kulm, il est alors transporté à l'hôpital après avoir perdu connaissance momentanément. Malgré cela, il reprend la compétition et est présent aux Jeux olympiques de Sotchi où il obtient une médaille d'argent dans l'épreuve par équipes. Le , encore marqué par la peur, conséquence de sa chute, il annonce la fin de sa carrière sportive.

Depuis la retraite sportive
En 2016 il participe à la  saison de Dancing Stars, la version autrichienne de Danse avec les stars. Il termine à la  place.

Greetings, I'm trying to find the maker of this couch. I bought it in the 80s when I was living in Hollywood from a 99 year old Lithuanian who spoke no English (except his age. .
Expert's Assistant: I always love having an appraiser look at my stuff. Sometimes its turned out to be surprisingly valuable. Tell us what else you do know and the Antiques Appraiser will be able to better assist you.
Expert's Assistant: Is there anything else the Antiques Appraiser should be aware of?
It is a curved couch that was cream colored brocade originally.
If it is not marked there is no way to know who made it, if you can send a picture, I can find a value for you.
THanks. I sent an image. Did you get it?
Where did you send it to?
This is how to send images so I can see them.
If your message box has a blue box that says "attach file" or a paper clip icon you can use that to upload photos. If not then Click the link: for instructions on uploading images, Be sure to be signed into Google Chrome in order for this link to work, if not signed into Google Chrome, then you have to copy and paste the link in your browser.
If your pictures are on a phone, plug the phone into the computer, then you can upload to the site right from the phone, the phone will be treated as a removable drive.
Or you can use this site, then forward the link from your pictures to the messsage area.
Or you can send them like this: In an Email! This can take awhile depending on how busy they are at Just answer, they do forward them to me.
Send the picture to ,***@******.***, in the subject line put " Pictures for Glenda B in Antiques".
In the body of the message put , your user name and name.
Make sure to send these from the same address that you registered with just answer with , so they know who you are. If you send from a phone the email address on the phone you use has to match the email address you used to register on the justanswer site with.
Sometimes it can take over 24hrs, depending on how busy the site is. We the appraisers are not employees of the Just Answer site, we come to the site to answer questions, we do not work there. They get photos in from customers, they then send them to the correct departments ( categories, ) then they are forwarded to the appraisers. I have no control over how fast all of this happens. I will let you know as soon as they send them to me.
Wow what a great Mid Century Modern Sofa, this is great. What material is this covered in?
When I found it, it was covered in a cream silk brocade. I had it recovered first in this blue, and then in a black fake leather. The creme on the legs in this image was original.
This is your answer, please read entirely.
Keep in mind that not all estimated values are obtained, your geographic area plays a big role in what prices can be obtained. If you plan on selling this I would list this for sell on the internet where it will have the largest shopping market. There are some great sites you can sell from.
You can sell on Etsy, which is a great place to sell from, you list Vintage Items, they can stay until they sell. Much like having a little store online. There is also Amazon Market Place, and of course Ebay. You can also sell on Charish, where you consign items. All of these sites get you a lot of World Wide exposure and bring the best traffic. They are all great! All sites can be sold from with pick up only option.
If you sell to a dealer, antique shop or resell shop you can expect to get about 30-40% of what it is worth since they have to resell the item.
Please ask any question you might have about your answer before rating this.
It was a pleasure working for you. I would be happy to help you with any items in the future.
When you post a new question, please feel free to add "FOR GLENDA" at the beginning of your question so as to ensure that I will be the one who answers your question for you. You can also try the 'REQUEST AN EXPERT' function OR you can add me as a 'FAVORITE' to your personal expert.
If you do not mind rating this answer with the 5 star rating ( how we are compensated for our work ) I would greatly appreciate it.
You should see the rating stars at the top of the page on the left, if you do not find them please let me know.
If using a phone you have to scroll back to the top of the page where you started, there is a box that says finish rating! Then a box opens with stars in it, then you click the stars. If you are using the Just Answer App, then it is at the bottom of your page.
If you require further assistance, no worries, the question thread does not close even after leaving a rating..
Can you show me some of the other couches of this caliber that you are using as comparable?
I am sorry I cannot do that, we appraisers pay substantial fees to access data bases in order to have the most up to date values of items that have sold in the past 12 months, these values are taken from antique shops, resell shops, large auction houses and internet sales. These sites are copyrighted so we are not allowed to share this information.
The value I gave you are what these Mid Century Modern curved sofa's have sold for in the past 12 months.
I'm just checking in once again to see how things are going.
Let me know if you still need help with this question. I strive to answer any and all questions a customer might have in order for you to have a enjoyable experience with me as an appraiser.
I am sorry, this came into the appraisal category, I assumed you wanted a value for it. There is no data base that lists just sofa's that are listed for sale, we pay to access data bases of sold items, these are taken from online sales, auctions, shops and anywhere else recorded sales are. I am sorry these have not sold higher, we have no control of sold prices.
Yes, the Weiman 's are valued that high, they rarely sell that high. The name is ***** ***** them so expensive, the sofa's without know designer names do not bring near that amount of money. The Mid Century Modern Designer name and marked sofa's are quite high at times, in the right place.

Another explosion reported in Malmö just one week after an 18-year-old got life-threatening injuries in an explosion in the Swedish city.
The police were notified about the explosion at 3 am Monday. It took place at a stairwell in the Rosengård district. Windows were blown out, doors are damaged and the joists in the building have visible damage. So far no personal injury has been reported.
"We put support in the stairwell to make sure nothing could happen," says Gustaf Sandell, leader of the rescue service, to Sydsvenskan.
The explosion took place only hours after a detonation in the district of Fosie, also the one in a stairwell. Last week, an 18-year-old life-threatening was injured in one of two explosions that shook Malmö. The man himself is suspicious of the matter.


I'm looking to replace my OEM headlights with LEDs. I've done this successfully with some other cars with a two light set up. Strangely enough, the set up is the same as a 1956 Ford Fairlane but I cannot find any bulbs for that application. So, has anyone successfully found an LED headlight replacement?
Shross, search for my blog. I put them in a year or two ago. I wasn't thrilled with the vendor I used and had some problems with the stripped plastic adjustment nuts. I replaced them with steel nuts. I also replaced the lamps with a higher output using the original reflecting units. Get them online. Very satisfied with the results. Also installed them in a 67 vette. Used "Pony Parts" .kit for a mustang.in the vette. They were cheaper and probability would work in the Ferrari if you spread out the brading they used for cooling. All the work was reversible and it took a couple days. I adjusted them on the garage door. .I would not go back to the old units. I posted a PDF file thinking there was too much information in the blog. If it doesn't open or download, let me know.
