Hi Film Folk
This week, Oscar-winning writer/director Brian Helgeland's new gangster film, Legend, is released starring Tom Hardy.
Film Doctor visited the set and chatted with Oscar and BAFTA-winning make up designer (and owner of the Christine Blundell Make-Up Academy), Christine Blundell, about her craft and career!
Christine Blundell working with Tim Spall for 'Mr. Turner'
What's your family background? Do you come from a creative family?
My family background is a bit eclectic actually. My Dad was a car dealer and my Mum breeds dogs and we traveled a lot when I was growing up. It wasn't a creative background but we moved a lot, so I got very used to getting on with people quickly and new situations.
At what point in your life did you realise that make-up was your calling?
I've never realised it was my calling. It's something that I kind of ended up doing. I love doing it. Hairdressing was always my thing, and I never actually thought I'd be doing it in films – it didn't occur to me that films might be 'open', I didn't know anyone who worked in film, I had no relation to anyone who worked in the media industry. It was an industry I knew nothing about. I'm the first one in my family to be in this industry.
So was there a stage in time where you saw it could be a reality? Was it overnight or did you take one step at a time?
Well, I've never had that Eureka moment [laughs], this is what I happen to be doing. Every now and again, I think "I'm really lucky to be doing a job that I enjoy so much", but my whole career pathway has never been quite structured, as maybe some people.
If I'm talking to my students now, I'd always say do a 10-year plan and decide where you want to be in 4 years, 6 years, etc. However, I'm saying that with the reflection of my own career, I've never given myself any guidelines. To an extent, everything that I've done, I've kind of almost fallen into.

You started with a hair salon?
I've always done hairdressing. When I was 15-16, I'd cut my friends' hair. Then I was of the generation where punk rock started. I was a punk: played in a band and worked with a lot of bands at that time – did everyone's hair.
Then it all went on from there, really. Got to own a hairdressing salon, then had to decide whether to open a chain of salons or do I sell up while it's doing well and move back into London? I was missing being in London, so I went back, did a make-up course and was lucky enough to start working on pop videos, assisting for a while; then I got into TV stuff with LWT.
In those days, what would you say was the key to getting those jobs? Luck? Proactivity? Recommendations?
It's kind of a combination of all of them really. I know that my hairdressing helped me get into the London Weekend because at the time London Weekend were going freelance and the fact that I was a hairdresser and they were doing a production set in the 1940s and needed someone who would do short back and sides.
A lot of it was being quite resilient – you know, you get a lot of knockbacks in this industry and you have to be prepared. Nothing is a given. You might be told your own a shoot but until they're shouting wrap, you don't know for sure.
You've done some TV recently, haven't you? Is there a huge difference between working in film and TV?
I do bits of TV, yes. Because I have my make-up school and obviously I have a few friends that are producers – a very good friend of mine is Gina Carter, who runs Sprout Productions with Stephen Fry and I usually get involved with them at an early stage and oversee and manage some of their productions for them. I namely do it so that I can get my students and graduates to work on them.
I think, as time's go on, there isn't such a huge difference between the two. The thing is, now television has kind of opened up to masses, really, in terms of the stuff that they produce. Like television series – they have really, really gone upmarket; they've really upped their game.
You worked on Hackers. Was this your first overseas job? How did you end up doing that?
Oh blimey [laughs] It was, yes – it was in New York. I think it was Jolie's [Angelina] first film. It was with a lovely British director called Iain Softley. He wanted quite a high-end look. I went there with Liz Daxeur, who specialised in fashion and I was kind of the film side of the partnership. We went over there for 9 weeks, before they started filming, just to do research, stayed in a lovely penthouse just on the edge of Central Park.
I was doing all the haircuts and colouring. I remember Angelina Jolie came in with long hair and I wanted to do it like a Manga character – she just let me hack her hair off. If you look at the film, she's got a really mental haircut, which she was really up for me doing.
So how closely do you work with actors when designing the look?
Well, I think, when you work on a film, you kind of automatically create a relationship with your actor. I don't really do personal beauty, as I have a team that I work with and I like to know that I've got that kind of a back-up. But you do have to build a relationship with your actor very early on. It's very much a collaboration; what they want to have done and what the director wants – I have to get the design going from that, really.
When you're building the character initially, you kind of need to let the actor talk it out, tell you what they're thinking. You've got the script, so you read it and you lift out anything that you think is relevant to your storyline. You get a rough timeframe of how long the story is going to span out, whether they're going to age or anything like that; whether anything essential happens to them – e.g. they get a beating or they might get a scar that would carry on in scene 50 or whatever. So you have that as your guideline – I usually have those notes in front of me and when the actor arrives, we have a private session between us.
We'll discuss the journey of their character throughout the film; we work out what could feasibly happen. I also have the schedule, to see how feasible it is to actually make that happen. Obviously, there's time allowance and patience, and things like that.

At what point do you come in on the process?
With Mike's [Leigh] films, as soon as he says he's making a film, I'm basically on it. He'll have a little meeting with his essential, core crew – which is myself, Dick Pope, Suzy who does the set design, Jacqueline Durran, who does the costume design; he'll give us a brief outline of what he wants to do, which is always very 'sketchy'.
Then, from the moment he starts rehearsing with his actors, we're at the end of phone, should he need us. The thing with Mike is, it's always very low budget and we've worked long enough with him to understand his process well. So, we very much commit as soon as he starts rehearsing, really.
It's a formula that works. I did my very first film with Mike Life Is Sweet. It's very unusual in this industry to have a group of filmmakers that you kind of reunite with every couple of years – and it's a lovely thing. We're all freelancers and it's a lovely feeling to know that you've got that 'filming family'. And as much as all of us go off and do big budget films, we all want to come back and get into the filmmaking that we know and love – which are Mike's films.
Speaking of family, how have you managed to juggle work/life?
How have I managed to be a working Mum for 17 years? [laughs] It's just something you have to factor into the equation. As much as I love my career, I've always wanted to be a Mum, as well. But also, I never wanted to give up work to be a Mum.
I was lucky enough to have done awful lot of traveling – with work and on my own – before I had kids, so by the time I did have kids I was more than happy to set up home, work it out. Yes, I've always had to employ a nanny or someone, to be with us, because of the nature of what I do. But I just kind of factored that in. It's just something I've built into the equation.
For anyone who doesn't know, could you explain the difference between a Make-up Artist and Make-up Designer?
A Make-up Designer essentially designs the whole look and the Make-up Artist works to the Designer's instructions.
Students working at Christine's Make Up Academy
What are the typical challenges that crop up on set with Hair & Make-up?
There are always challenges when you're on set. The more experienced you get, the more used you get to thinking about those things. You just have to talk to the relevant people to help you out.
Do you think there are common mistakes that Directors/Producers make with the Make-up department?
Not really. It might happen on student films, when people are not quite aware of what we do, but when you get to a certain level of filmmaking, I think everybody is respectful of what everybody does. For example, if we need time, they know that we don't ask for it very often, so that means we do really need it.
Is there one common trait that you've noticed amongst particularly successful directors?
Something all directors share is their own uniqueness. They don't work with each other, so each of them has their own way. Like, working with Danny Boyle was very different to working with Guy Ritchie.
What advice would you give to an aspiring Make-up Designer starting out today, hoping to achieve what you have?
I think just be resilient. And if you have the passion to make it work, it will work, but you have to really want to live the dream. I run a make-up school and the mantra is always that we can teach everyone to be a really good trainee, but we can't get you out of bed. That means that you've got to really want to do it. Nobody else is going to bring that to the table, you're in charge of it.
What advice would you give to a Writer/Producer/Director, trying to get noticed today?
Again, I think it would be exactly the same advice I'd give to anyone wanting to get into make-up or costume. And you have to bring your own uniqueness to it. It's kind of about bringing something that has your own personal stamp on it. There's so much 'formula work', if somebody can bring something that's unique to the table, then everybody's going to pay a bit of attention.
And take on board advice, what people say to you. I always say to my trainees, even if you think you know more than the person telling you about it, just get on with – because there will be one point, further down the line, when you'll be in charge and you'd want things done your way. Just have a good manner – personality caries you a long way in this industry.
What can you tell us about your school, The Christine Blundell Make-up Academy?
My school's the best [laughs] I opened my school 7 years ago. The reason I opened it is because I didn't feel that other schools at the time were offering up-to-date make-up training; I didn't feel trainees were being taught what they needed to know. They were coming out with portfolios which were totally irrelevant; I kind of needed to know that they could break people down, make them look dirty, make them look like they lived on a street in Victorian London, and I needed them to know what a 1st AD was and what a Gaffer was.
Legend is out Friday in the UK and 2nd October in the US. If you're interested in training at Christine's school, have a look here.

As part of Worker's Compensation Reform, Senate Bill 863 developed a Return to Work Fund with 120 million dollars per year to be administered by the Department of Industrial Relations. The program established through the Department of Industrial Relations is aptly named Return-to-Work Supplemental Program (RTWSP).
The RTWSP requires the Department of Industrial Department's Director to provide supplemental payments to injured workers who have become displaced and are unable to return to their employment. The benefit is a one time check for $5,000.00.
Application for the Return-to Work Supplement benefit must be received by Return-to- Work Supplement Program within one year from the date the voucher was served on the applicant, or within one year from the date of the voucher.
You may apply on line at the Department of Industrial Relations -Return to Work Supplement Program. If you need assistance you may visit one of your local Division of Worker's Compensation offices and ask for an Information Assistance officer for help. Or, consider contacting our office for any questions you may have regarding this program or any other questions relating to your work injury.

I had always known about Loomis Chaffee as I was growing up; one of my neighbors went to LC and we actually ended up studying together at Yale and upon graduation, he put me in touch with his father and the rest is history. It's an honor to be a teacher here and to be able to see and interact with such talented individuals from other faculty members to students.
If you could ask any historical figure anything, who and what would you ask?
I think it would be a question to an anonymous person; someone who was experiencing but not directly guiding history. My favorite period of history is the early 700s-1492 when the Arab Empire ruled Spain during the cultural explosion. I would want to ask someone immersed in that era, "How do you function so well as a multicultural society?" I'd want to bring the answer back with me to the present so that we in the US could do a better job as a country.
What is your favorite material or class you teach and why?
I taught World History for 15 years and my favorite area of the world to teach was Andalusia, Spain—an area controlled by Arabs. It's fascinating to me how in this one area so many talented scientists, artists, philosophers, and thinkers used healthy competition to promote a new understanding of the world.
What is it that you love most about history?
History is the story of people and I love how I can put myself in their shoes, so to speak, and see the world through their eyes. History is about constantly trying to solve mysteries and answer questions. I enjoy reading historical fiction in addition to historical texts and part of that interest comes from being able to feel as though you're stepping into another world outside of your own. Understanding the perspectives of those who came before us is extremely valuable to being able to thrive in our current world.

Naturalization is the process by which a permanent resident of the United States becomes a citizen. A permanent resident can become a citizen by meeting certain requirements and by filing the N-400 Application for Naturalization along with supporting documentation. The entire naturalization process, from filing the N-400 to taking the Oath of Allegiance, takes 8 to 12 months if everything goes smoothly. Everything doesn't always go smoothly, however.
You must be at least 18 years old on the date that you file your application.
You must register with the Selective Service if you are required to do so. This applies only to males between 18 and 26.
You must have been a US permanent resident for at least five years (three years if you have been married to a US citizen during this time).
You must have lived in your state of residence or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) district for the past three months before filing Form N-400.
You must have been physically present in the United States for at least 30 months out of the last five years (18 months out of the last three years if you have been married to a US citizen during this time).
You must have resided in the US continuously (generally, this mean that any trips abroad should have lasted less than six months).
You must demonstrate loyalty to the principles of the US Constitution.
You must possess a basic knowledge of US history and government.
You must possess a basic knowledge of the spoken and written English language.
The burden of proof is on you, the applicant, to prove that you meet all of the foregoing requirements.
Special Case: "The Child Citizenship Act of 2000". This Act bestows citizenship upon eligible persons with at least one US citizen parent (including adopted children) once they enter the United States as permanent residents. Because citizenship is automatically bestowed under these conditions, there is no need to file an N-400 citizenship application. You can appeal an adverse decision under this Act by filing Form I-290B.
1. Complete Form N-400, Application for Naturalization and pay the $725 filing fee ($640 for the N-400 and $85 for biometrics). You should receive a receipt notice within two or three weeks of filing. If the USCIS considers your application incomplete, it might send you a Request for Evidence or even reject your application outright.
2. Attend a biometrics appointment and submit to fingerprinting, photographing and a background check (for criminal convictions, etc.). The USCIS will notify you of your biometrics appointment within three to five weeks after your N-400 filing date. Your biometrics appointment should be scheduled within two months after your filing date. Take your green card with you to your biometrics appointment.
3. Complete an interview with a USCIS officer. This will involve confirming your English language ability, taking a civics exam and answering questions from a USCIS officer confirming that the answers you supplied in your N-400 application are still true. The citizenship interview should take place about 6 to 10 months after your original N-400 filing date.
After the interview, the officer will give you Form N-652 which will either grant, deny or delay your citizenship application. It could be delayed if, for example, you fail the civics exam.
4. If your citizenship interview was successful, you will receive Form N-445, Notice of Naturalization Oath Ceremony, within one to four weeks after your naturalization interview.
5. Take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States at a naturalization ceremony. If all goes well, this ceremony will take place about 8 to 12 months after your N-400 filing date. After you take the oath, you will be provided with a Certificate of Naturalization. This is your proof of US citizenship.
The USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence (RFE) — in fact, about 20 percent of naturalization applicants receive at least one such request. At the very least, receiving one means that the resolution of your citizenship application will be delayed. RFEs are often issued when the applicant forgets to include a required document. It may also request new documentation.
Hypothetical Scenario: You marry a US citizen, obtain permanent residence and take advantage of the fact that US immigration law allows permanent residents married to US citizen spouses to apply for citizenship after only three years of US residence (instead of the usual five years). This is your second marriage, however, and your first marriage took place abroad to a non-US citizen. The USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence demanding that you submit certified divorce records for your previous marriage.
Respond as soon as you can without sacrificing the quality of your response. The longer you delay, the longer your citizenship will be delayed, and if you miss the deadline, your application will be considered abandoned and will be consequently rejected.
Make sure the USCIS receives your response before the deadline printed in the RFE letter. It's not good enough if it is merely postmarked before the deadline, the USCIS must actually receive it before the deadline.
If you have a 30-day deadline (for example), the 30 days starts counting from the date appearing on the letter, not the date that you actually receive the letter.
Provide every document listed in the RFE, as far as possible. If you cannot include one, refer to it and explain why you cannot send it.
Take great care in preparing your application. Under new regulations implemented by the Trump administration, your application can be denied without a Request for Evidence for an innocent error such as failing to include required supporting documentation. Although if your naturalization application is denied you can normally choose to either appeal or simply re-file the application, the government is allowed to keep your filing fee. If you reapply, you will have to pay it again.
You can overcome the grounds for denial. Perhaps the officer misunderstood the applicable law, failed to properly consider documentation that you provided or failed to give you enough time to procure necessary documentation, or interpreted an ambiguous legal term (such as "moral character") in a way that you consider inappropriate.
You can commence the appeal process by filing Form N-336, Request for Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings within 30 days of the date the denial was issued. A hearing before an immigration officer (not an immigration judge) should be scheduled within 180 days. The officer has the authority to deny your appeal, overturn the original decision, or conduct a full hearing. You can be required to take the civics or English language exam again, even if you have already taken and passed these exams.
Unfortunately, the N-336 appeal is often nothing more than a rubber stamp in which the officer simply upholds the original decision without a lot of forethought. If this happens to you and you don't want to give up, the next step is to file a complaint in federal court. The federal judge is not under the authority of the USCIS and is entitled to make an independent decision based on facts and law. You may even get a trial.
You missed the 30-day deadline for filing an appeal.
Your application was refused for missing documentation that you will need more than 180 days to obtain.
You failed the civics or English language test, and all you need is a little time to learn enough to pass these exams.
Your application was denied because the USCIS decided that you lacked "good moral character" (Since you only have to show good moral character for the last five years if you wait long enough, your chances could improve).
Your application was denied because you failed to maintain continuous residence in the US after you obtained permanent residence. You could become eligible for naturalization again by waiting a few years to re-establish a continuous residence in the US.
Keep in mind that if you file a new citizenship application that looks exactly like your previous one with no change in circumstances, it is likely to be denied for the same reason that the first one was.
Register with the Selective Service if you are legally obligated to do so.
When you apply for permanent residence, make sure that your application contains no false statements and no omissions. If you are asked to provide your criminal record, for example, do not omit an arrest simply because it did not result in a conviction.
Avoid criminal activity. Even an arrest that does not lead to a conviction could cause you problems. Not all arrests or convictions will result in the denial of your citizenship application, but some can result in not only denial of your citizenship but also revocation of your permanent resident status and even deportation.
Make sure that your N-400 citizenship application contains no omissions or inaccurate statements. Suppose that the USCIS runs your biometric fingerprinting results through a database and discovers that you were arrested for a crime that you did not report on your citizenship application. This will cause you problems even if you were acquitted of the crime because you failed to report the arrest.
Pay your taxes on time. If you can't, try to compromise with the tax authorities to show the USCIS that you are at least making an effort.
Do your best to keep up with any child support payments you have been found liable for.
In a nutshell, do everything you can to avoid giving the USCIS an excuse to deny your citizenship application or take action against you.
Not everyone realizes that the citizenship of a naturalized citizen can be revoked easier than the citizenship of a birthright citizen. If the United States attempts to revoke your citizenship, you need to fight it, because if the attempt is successful, you could be deported. Because citizenship is revoked retroactively, if you sponsored any of your family members based on your own citizenship, they could be deported as well.
Receiving a dishonorable discharge from the military, if your citizenship was derived from your military service.
Revocation of your citizenship is not automatic once you have been charged. Suppose, for example, that you failed to mention a previous arrest on your N-400 application because you were eventually acquitted of the crime. You might have room to argue that you sincerely believed that only an actual conviction needed to be reported. You might also argue that a particular group is not actually "subversive".
A federal court will have to hear your case, and you will be entitled to a full hearing where you can present evidence and call witnesses. You will also have the right to appeal the revocation decision to a federal Court of Appeals.
All told, there are many ways to win a citizenship case. A lot depends on the specific facts of your case, however — and no two cases are exactly alike. Although there can be no ironclad guarantees, the better you understand US immigration law, the better your chances will be. Moreover, the quality of your legal representation often makes a decisive difference.

There are a few constants in life: death, taxes, and some of the best batsmen in the world taking to the cricket pitch. India has seen its fair share of talented batsmen over the years, and many of them have achieved legendary status.
But who is the best of the best? That's a question that's open to debate. In this article, we'll take a look at some of India's greatest Test batsmen of all time. We'll consider their stats, their records, and how they've fared against the best bowlers in the world as per information from cricket related news.
Sachin Tendulkar: The King of Cricket
Sachin Tendulkar needs no introduction. Widely regarded as the best batsman of all time, he is the only player to score 100 international centuries and is the only cricketer to have been awarded the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award.
Tendulkar made his Test debut in 1989 at the age of 16 and went on to play 200 Test matches, scoring more than 15,000 runs. He is also the first batsman to score a double century in One Day International cricket. In 2002, he was involved in a world record partnership of 398 runs with Virender Sehwag against Zimbabwe. In 2007, he became the first player to score 10,000 runs in ODI cricket.
Tendulkar has also been successful in the shorter formats of the game. He is the leading run-scorer and century-maker in Twenty20 International cricket and was the first player to hit a century in all three formats of the game.
Tendulkar was honoured with the Padma Shri, India's fourth-highest civilian award, in 1999 and the Padma Vibhushan, India's second-highest civilian award, in 2008. He was also the recipient of the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, India's highest sporting honour, in 1997.
His passion for the game and his dedication to cricketing excellence are unrivalled and he remains a role model for aspiring young cricketers all over the world.
Rahul Dravid: The Wall of India
Rahul Dravid, affectionately known as "The Wall of India," is one of the greatest batsmen to ever play for India. He was an anchor for the Indian batting line-up for over a decade and holds many batting records, including the most Test catches by a fielder.
Dravid was known for his incredible patience and ability to grind out a big score, making him an invaluable player in difficult batting conditions. He was also one of the smartest batsmen in the game, often able to read the game and the bowler's mind to put himself in the best position to score runs. Although he was never able to win a Cricket World Cup with India, Dravid was a key member of the side that reached the final in 2003, where they lost to Australia.
Dravid retired from international cricket in 2012 with an incredible record of 13,288 Test runs at an average of 52.31, the fourth-highest average in Test history. He is widely regarded as one of the best batsmen of all time and will always be remembered as one of India's greatest cricketing heroes.
Dravid is widely considered to be one of the best batsmen of all time and was honoured with the title of "Sir" by the Queen of England in 2013.
Virender Sehwag: The Nawab of Najafgarh
Now we come to Virender Sehwag—arguably one of the most devastating batsmen in India's Test history. Nicknamed the Nawab of Najafgarh, Sehwag made a name for himself with his aggressive and attacking style of play. He was known for his quick scoring rate, and his record of scoring a century in just 85 balls is still unbeaten to this day.
In his career, Sehwag played 104 Test matches and scored 8586 runs at an average of 49.34. He also has 23 centuries and 32 half-centuries to his name. Sehwag was a part of the Indian team that won the 2011 World Cup, and he was also the man of the series in the 2010 ICC World Twenty20.
Sehwag was known for his ability to score runs all around the park, and his trademark shots were the hook and the pull. He was also known for his unique batting stance, which was very upright and open. Sehwag was an aggressive captain, and he led the Indian team to many victories during his tenure.
Sehwag announced his retirement from international cricket in October 2015, and he currently holds the record for the highest Test score by an Indian batsman. He is also the only Indian batsman to score two triple centuries in Test cricket. Sehwag will always be remembered as one of India's greatest Test batsmen of all time.
What made Sehwag so special was his ability to score runs all around the cricket field, regardless of the situation or the opponent. He was particularly effective against pace bowlers, and his batting style often left the opposition clueless and demoralized.
It's no surprise that he is considered one of India's greatest Test batsmen of all time.
Sunil Gavaskar: The Mini Master
Moving on to the next batsman on our list, Sunil Gavaskar is affectionately known as the Mini Master. He was a master tactician who could dominate every bowling attack he faced. He made his debut in 1971 against the West Indies and quickly established himself as one of the greatest batsmen India had ever seen.
What made his batting style so special was his ability to read the game and anticipate what would come next. His technique and composure meant that he rarely played a false shot, and maintained an impressive batting average of 51.12 over 125 Tests. He still holds the record for most Test centuries scored by an Indian batsman, with 34 centuries to his name. He was also a captain who led from the front with dignity and stability and was always an inspirational leader to his teammates.
Virat Kohli: Modern-Day Maestro
The modern-day maestro himself, Virat Kohli is a force to be reckoned with. Since his debut in 2010, he has managed to rack up an impressive list of accomplishments. He currently holds the record for the highest individual score in a Test match by an Indian batsman, with an astonishing 254 runs against South Africa in 2019. His overall career average of 54.35 runs per innings is also the highest for any Indian batsman and the third-highest average ever seen on a Test cricket career. Apart from his batting prowess, Virat Kohli is also known for his leadership skills.
There is no doubt that Virat Kohli is one of the best batsmen in the world today. His consistent performances and impressive records are a testament to his talent and his passion for the game. With many more years of cricket ahead of him, there is no telling what Virat Kohli will achieve.
Beyond his excellence with the bat, Virat Kohli brings a new level of flair and passion to the truly unmatched game. His dedication and determination combined with his sheer talent make him one of India's greatest Test batsmen of all time.
India has produced some of the greatest cricketing talents the world has ever seen. The country has a long and proud history in the sport, dating back to the days of the British Raj. From the greats of yesteryear to the modern-day maestros, India has produced some of the most prolific batsmen in the history of the game.
In this article, we take a look at some of India's greatest test batsmen of all time. These are the men who have graced the crease for India in the longest format of the game and have made a name for themselves with their exploits with the willow.

This book offers deep insights into the thermodynamics and molecular structures of the twelve catalytically active isoforms of human carbonic anhydrase (CA) with a particular focus on inhibitor binding for drug design. X-ray crystallographic structures in combination with enzyme kinetic testing provide information on the interaction of CAs and their inhibitors, knowledge which is crucial for rational drug design. CAs are zinc carrying enzymes that catalyse the reversible interconversion of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate and are involved in numerous cellular processes. They are therefore a common target for drugs. The suppression of CA activities through inhibitory compounds has found application for example in diuretics and in glaucoma therapy. In this book methods used to determine binding thermodynamics of inhibitory compounds (Isothermal titration calorimetry, Fluorescent thermal shift assay/differential scanning fluorimetry and others) will be compared in detail. Also types and chemical synthesis of CA inhibitors, the use of antibodies against CAs as well as inhibitor application in animals are discussed.

JTAARS Concept Presented to Industry
By Dani JohnsonApril 9, 2019
FORT LEE, Va. -- During a firefight the last thing that should be of concern is whether the Soldier or Marine can be resupplied with enough ammunition, water, and medical supplies expeditiously.
The Army Futures Command Sustainment Capabilities Development and Integration Directorate (CDID) along with the Marine Corps Capabilities Development & Integration (CD&I) are looking at innovative ways to resupply Soldiers and Marines when traditional resupply methods are not available to support them. Both agencies are collaborating in writing, staffing and gaining approval of the Joint Tactical Autonomous Aerial Resupply System (JTAARS) Capabilities Development Document (CDD) in the next three years.
The JTAARS Industry Data Exchange Day event was held March 26 - 28 at Fort Lee, Virginia, to begin the dialogue between the military capability developers and industry UAS partners to determine what is in the realm of possibilities for future multi-domain operations resupply missions.
"The whole purpose of the industry day was for us to inform the industry partners on how each service plans to use this capability by educating them on the concept of operations. Plus allow industry, early on, to view each service draft operational requirements in terms of payload, range, speed, and operational environments," said Maj. Harry Terzic, Sustainment CDID Air Team officer in charge, Requirements Development and Integration Branch. "We are going to get industry feedback by meeting with each one of the vendors one on one and see what they can provide in terms of short, mid, long term Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) capabilities."
Both services envision this capability as a three platform family. At the Department of Defense level this family is being named Unmanned Logistics System- Air (ULS-A). Currently, there will be a Small, Medium, and Large with respective payloads. JTAARS is the ULS-A Medium effort between the Army and Marines.
"We envision JTAARS to be less than a ULS-A Large which means JTAARS should not require a dedicated pilot/supervisor/handler," said Terzic. "We envision JTAARS to be able to fly on its own from origin point to delivery point. We also envision man on the loop interruption of that mission if necessary."
The joint requirements team is working towards an organic delivery system that augments existing logistics platforms within tactical level Army and Marine Corps sustainment units.
Operations tempo in future large-scale ground combat operations is extremely high according to Terzic. JTAARS will enable tactical support units to provide a multiple times a day resupply capability regardless of terrain, weather or other operational limiting factors.
Additionally, "a routine resupply mission can turn into an emergency resupply mission at any given time," said Terzic. "So this system will be extremely beneficial to the ground commander."
"It has been proven that lightening the load of the infantry Soldier or Marine increases their effectiveness," said Master Gunnery Sgt. Chris Anson, Headquarters Marine Corps Logistics. "JTAARS will allow small unit resupply especially in dirty, hot areas taking fire."
"It is important for distributed operations since logistics is stretched thin as it is," said Anson. "As we look at the future and distributed operations at the mass level, we need those connectors and it also provides tactical flexibility to the commander to do what he or she sees fit with an air vehicle."
Over the next two years, both the AFC Sustainment CDID and the Marine Corps CD&I are participating in the ULS-A Secretary of Defense-sponsored Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD). The JCTD will assist the Marines in their development of the ULS-A Small CDD; and assist both the US Army and Marine Corps in the development of the ULS-A Medium (JTAAARS) CDD operational requirements. Industry Day gave both service capability developers insight on how to articulate the operational requirements for the medium-sized UAS system.

Papier collé (fr. 'opklæbet papir', 'klæbebilleder') er en tidlig form for collage, der omkring 1912 blev udviklet af Georges Braque og Pablo Picasso.

Et første billede af Braque fra 1911, Le Portugais, indeholdt skrift i form af trykte bogstaver.

Mens materialer som træ, papir og tapeter i billeder af den analytiske kubisme i begyndelsen havde været imiteret med maleriske midler som dekorative elementer, blev de senere sat ind i billedet. Braque stræbte herved på at betone farvens selvstændighed, mønstrets geometri og materialets kornethed for abstraherende at løsgøre dem fra genstanden, idet han klæbede forskellige tapetstykker sammen (for eksempel Frugtskål og glas, 1912).

Picasso fremhævede genstandenes materialitet, idet han klæbede voksaftryk af rørflet og avispapir ind i sine billeder og på denne måde integrerede kunstfremmede materialer fra hverdagslivet i skabelsesprocessen og satte dem i kontrast til det øvrige malemateriale (for eksempel Stilleben med stoleflet, 1912). Foruden materialer som sand, stof og træ var der også brugsgenstande som spillekort og indpakningsmateriale med tryk på.

Efterfølgende udførte også Juan Gris kubistiske collager.

Senere udviklede Picasso sine ideer videre inden for billedhuggeri, idet han forarbejdede hverdagsting og kunstfremmede materialer til sin tredimensionale objektkunst.

WTO Not Optimistic On Trade Talks
World Trade Organization warned talks to open up global economy unlikely to produce a breakthrough accord by next year unless countries made significant compromises.
Elaine Engeler, Associated Press Writer
GENEVA (AP) -- The World Trade Organization warned Tuesday that talks to open up the global economy were unlikely to produce a breakthrough accord by next year unless countries made significant compromises.
The assessment does not bode well for the latest deadline to conclude the WTO's struggling Doha round of global commerce talks. Leaders of the Group of 20 rich and emerging economies have pledged to wrap up a deal by the end of the 2010, but the talks have missed a number of previous targets.
WTO chief Pascal Lamy said they need "serious acceleration."
"We need to see real negotiations emerge," Lamy told a meeting of the WTO's 153 members.
Lamy said it was still possible to achieve success in 2010, but countries had to live up to their promises to fight protectionism and remove restrictions to trade in agriculture, manufacturing and services.
The Doha round aims to boost the world economy by letting emerging countries such as Brazil, China and India sell more products to the rich world. In return, developed nations in North America, Europe and elsewhere would get new chances for their manufacturers and service providers to enter growing markets in Asia and Latin America.
The WTO's members will meet in Geneva in late November to hold their first full ministerial conference since gathering in Cancun, Mexico, in 2003 and Hong Kong two years later. Those meetings were more noteworthy for their protests than for negotiating successes.
Lamy said members should focus on the "big picture" at the ministerial.
Officials want the conference to avoid delicate questions of tariffs, subsidies and other barriers so that the long-term stability and growth of international trade can be debated.

We are all taken up in our situation and to have access to salvation we are going to redefine ourselves in relationship to Jesus. We shall do this in a unique way and no one else can do it for us. Jesus accompanies us and does nothing in our place. Our freedom is in his own, this is what this Word of the Gospel has us understand. Jesus delivers the sick and heals them as he passes in their midst. They come back to good health when in contact with the divine doctor. We touch here the Mercy of God's Heart.In the overabundance of the mysterious love of his heart he gives his life so that all find life again. Matthew sees him act and is going to follow him straight away. Jesus knows that in the heart of these men and women he has come to spend time with there is a desire for God. It is this desire for God that he comes and take a hold of and awakens. These sinners are children of the Father. Healed by Jesus, they become children of Light. We know what the combat and agony of the Cross is for Jesus who will carry these so as to bring Light and Love to humanity.
We take into account the prodigious dimension of this man who stands up, moves around, taking possession of the world, going ahead in it in a different manner. Such a beautiful dignity offered to us. It enables us to follow someone else, and in great humility to hand ourselves over to them. This is how one freedom can give birth to another, the future will be born out of the relationship born between the two.
understood. We know too that within ourselves there are zones of darkness that go into revolt when faced with the Tender Mercy of Jesus. We are people who are mixed up and as soon as we touch upon mixed realities, the obscure part of us is awoken and we are scandalised. Jesus wants to heal our hearts that are so divided.
« When the scribes of the Pharisee party saw him eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, »Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners ?' When Jesus heard this he said tot hem, 'It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick. I came not to call the upright, but the sinners."
The sinner has the aspiration to live in another way, he leaves a gap open within himself, a possibility to become otherwise, in a way that brings satisfaction. The sinner who is forgiven brings about a joy that is incarnate, celebrated, he desires to encounter others on his renewed path in life. This life calls him forward and many others with him.
'How is it that this man is sharing meals with these sinners and these tax collectors !" say the scribes on the side of the Pharisees ! How can he be there sitting at the table with many of his disciples !
Wherever Jesus goes, reality becomes transparent and the Infinite Love of God shines forth. Jesus is listened to by all these sinners whose heart is still divided. He listens to them with love. He reveals his heart full of Love for all men, the sick and the healthy ! Only those who are sick recognise Him. Jesus is all-powerful in His Love, he wants to be Light in us, so that wherever we go we bring the Light of his Love.
We ask for the grace to live from the message of Jesus' Love so as to be full of goodness and light.

It's no accident you just typed in a search term related to search engine optimization or SEM and and found us here in the New Franklin search results – we used specific strategies and technical maneuvers to increase our visibility here in search engines.
Over 80% of consumers use search engines to find local businesses, and 90% of searchers never go past Page 1 of Google. Also, 94% of people will click on Organic Results rather than paid advertisements, and trust organic results more than ads which increases avg conversion rate. Without good SEO you are losing over 90% of all New Franklin prospects searching online for the exact products and/or services your business provides.
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is basically the process which gets your business to show up as the #1 result on Google (or other search engines) when someone searches for the products or services your business provides in New Franklin. Our SEO agency knows the proper steps to get your website in the top Google results no matter the location or size of your business.
SEO is the acronym for Search Engine Optimization. The major search engines such as Yahoo, Bing, and Google all display the most relevant web sites at the top of their search pages. Considering that this is a free service, many content producers will craft their content with the search engines in mind. SEO can be defined as the procedure of enhancing the amount and caliber of traffic to your site through natural search engine results.
How many times do you pass multiple billboards on your way to work in New Franklin? If the banner promotes a discount in an apparels store, there is a high possibility that people looking out for new clothes will check that store out and eventually boost the business once the customers increase in number. The exact advertisement policy works with SEO. Search engine users looking for specific information will become interested in a business that keeps showing among the search results.
Search engines get their information by dispatching various crawlers and then indexing the pages that are found. Optimization should address both page titles and meta descriptions. There are countless people using the internet on a daily basis and thousands of business are taking advantage of this and optimizing their websites. The following are a few of the reasons why both big and small businesses should invest in the process of SEO.
Consider how you search the internet, are you going to choose a restaurant in New Franklin that is located on the first page or the fifth page? Always remember that businesses can't be successful without investments.
Premier SEO experts are not entirely devoted to attaining the best ranks but also to further improve your site's functionality. They can handle everything, from coding to hosting.
SEO has become the foundation by which many startup businesses in State have been able to succeed as there is no high operating costs involved. With the web, new establishments in State have a greater chance of becoming popular among consumers.
SEO's function grows with each passing day. The impact is that it will help keep on generating traffic. While search engine marketing campaigns can show your business on top of the first page, your listing will disappear as soon as you'll stop paying. On the contrary, organic search results continue to exist, being, therefore, a solid long-term investment.
Millions of people use their mobile devices to perform searches on the net. This is no new thing since cellular devices are convenient to carry around and when you get stuck somewhere, they can come in handy and help you find a way out. Mobile users tend to rely more on organic search results than on paid ads. This is so since natural results are more personalized and offer more advantages. Firms that appreciate the significance of cellular devices should give attention to SEO.
The usage of mobile devices for accessing the internet can also be a consequence of the rise of social media platforms. It is not surprising to see full conversations about businesses on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. When a user is searching for a solution to their problem, it is essential that you'll be there right at the top of the page. If your information is reliable and useful, you can be certain these people will recommend your services to their peers.
It's easy for small business owners to overlook the importance of SEO in their overall marketing mix. Nonetheless, a small business could gain a lot from SEO, because most people tend to search online for solutions in their neighborhood. For instance, visitors in a city searching for a nice restaurant to dine in will use their mobile device to find the most popular restaurants in their neighborhood that serve their favorite dishes. Any firm that appears high on the results will most likely gain from this search. Keep in mind that users conduct reviews after finishing their transaction, which adds up to the credibility.
Local New Franklin businesses are typically the ones who have the most to gain from SEO as they can gain so many recommendations from local customers. If you had the notion that getting an SEO professional is an unnecessary expenditure, keep in mind that individuals are always checking into new towns while paying visits and trying to find new options.
People spend more and more time online. They use the internet for entertainment and learning, but also for business purposes. This means people tend to depend less on television and print media. By investing in SEO today, you help your business maintain its relevance down the road.
In the past, it was hard for a small business in New Franklin to compete with the big guys. SEO offers a cost effective and fair platform where online presence could help you rise to the challenge. An old business may overlook the importance of SEO, thus giving small businesses a tremendous competitive edge and an opportunity to acquire clients. At the end of the day, trust gets generated and potential customers become loyal customers and advocates of your brand.


The Nature In Us: Why Do Cowbirds Lay Eggs In Other Birds' Nests?
If a vote were taken tomorrow to find the most popular bird in the country, it's doubtful that the cowbird would win. That's because the cowbird has the nasty habit of laying its eggs in other birds' nests.
Many folks know that cowbirds lay their eggs in the nests of other birds. But few folks know why. Turns out there's good evolutionary reason for cowbirds to abandon their young to others. Read the entire article.

This guitar was Gibson's guitar of the month for February 2008 and is #497 of 1000.  The contoured carve of the SG Diablo takes the classic SG shape to a higher level of refinement.  The color is a metallic red with gold undertones and looks great in person.
This one shows some fret wear in the "cowboy chord" area, but almost none anywhere else.  The finish is in very good shape, but does show some checking around the controls, a small spot where there appears to have been a small piece of tape at one time and some buckle worming on the back which does not penetrate the finish.  The sides of the headstock show small areas of finish damage caused by a guitar hanger that was not safe for nitrocellulose finish.  These spot can really only be seen when looking at the bottom of the headstock directly from the sides.
The playability is excellent with low, fast action.  It has great tone with some electronic upgrades apparent.  The pots are Bourns 500K, and the pickups are Gibson '57 Classic/'57 Classic Plus.
The guitar comes with a good quality, well padded gig bag.
Nut width - 1 23/32"
Weight - 7 lb 2 oz
All of our guitar receive a thorough, professional inspection and are guaranteed to arrive in the condition described and photographed.
The new SG Diablo—Gibson USA's first Guitar of the Month for 2008—captures the essence of a classic design, and takes it one step further. Like the SG Standard in 1961, the new SG Diablo sets a precedent for style, function, and design. The top and back of the Diablo's mahogany body are carved to accent the contour of the SG's distinct lines, giving the guitar a three-dimensional appearance from afar. The Diablo's controls have been streamlined to one volume and one tone, in addition to the standard three-way switch. The volume control has also been moved closer to the bridge pickup for easy access and volume swells. The new SG Diablo also takes the SG's 24 3/4-inch scale length mahogany neck and adds two additional frets—for a total of 24—allowing an even higher register of notes from a guitar already known for its searing lead-playing capacity. Gibson's traditional round neck profile and rosewood fingerboard enhance the guitar's resonance and sustain, and secures its reputation as the fastest guitar neck in the world. It is available only in a Red Metallic finish, with matching headstock. Like all Guitars of the Month, production is limited to just 1,000 guitars.
SOLD - 2008 Gibson SG Diablo Guitar of the Month Limited Run #497- Metallic Red

I am able to add images and format the text, but what I would like to do is change the background color, but only for the header panel, not the rest of the ui.  So far I have this for my
ui.r:

shinyUI(pageWithSidebar(

headerPanel(
list(tags$head(tags$style("body {background-color: black; }")),
"Graphs", HTML('','

),

This has text of two different colors and puts an image on the right side, but it make the background color of everything black. Is there a way to limit the color this to just the header?

A: Try something like
tags$style(".span12 {background-color: black;}")

instead of

Greenberg Law - My Employer Has Published False Critisism About My Work Performance. Does California Law Allow That?
Home | Blog | My Employer Has Published False Critisism About My Work Performance. Does California Law Allow That?
The publication, whether oral or written, of false criticism of poor performance, incompetence, or dishonesty—whether made in the context of a performance review or as the employer's stated reason for the employee's termination—is defamation per se. Employers often argue that they are immune from liability for these statements based on the defense of "conditional privilege," which grants immunity against defamation for communications made on subjects of mutual interest (i.e. publisher makes the defamatory statement to a person who has a common interest in the subject matter of the statement).
Many employers often misinterpret this conditional privilege as some kind of absolute privilege. Far from it, the conditional privilege can be overcome if a plaintiff shows that the communication was either motivated by malice, or an abuse of the conditional privilege.
The publication contained exaggerated, overdrawn or colored statements to the detriment of plaintiff or are not stated fully and fairly with respect to the plaintiff. Shumate v. Johnson Pub. Co. (1956) 139 Cal.App.2d 121, 138.
Subject to a showing of malice, the employer may be liable for defamatory statements he or she published about an employee's work performance.
Paul Greenberg is managing partner of Greenberg & Weinmann, a law firm that is committed to advancing justice in the workplace and protecting employee rights. For over 25 years, (the last 20 with partner Iris Weinmann), he has handled legal claims on behalf of employees, including over 50 defamation cases that have resulted in significant compensatory and punitive damages and Labor Code section 1050 penalties, in both state and federal court. Greenberg & Weinmann has successfully litigated defamation claims to verdict and received favorable appellate court decisions upholding or reinstating employee rights with respect to their defamation claims. Greenberg & Weinmann is based in Santa Monica, California but litigates statewide.

Strategy Demands Mark Changes for Risk Management, Environmental Health and Safety Services
Monday, January 27, 2014, By Kathleen Haley
Strategic realignments for greater efficiencies and collaboration are being put in place in the cooperative areas of the Risk Management Department, Environmental Health and Safety Services Office and Emergency Management.
The changes come at a time to consider work processes and provide opportunities for growth among staff as a key staff member retires and a new resource is being added to assist in dealing with workers' compensation, says David Pajak, director of risk management and chief emergency management officer at SU, who oversees all three areas.
"We're rethinking customer service, our strategic direction and demands, and seeing how we can be more efficient and effective in managing risk," Pajak says. "We're also looking at providing staff the opportunity for growth."
In their shared mission and vision, the three units are tasked with protecting the University's people, buildings, finances, resources and reputation, helping it to meet its academic, social and economic goals. Staff members work with colleagues across campus in a variety of situations, which can range from assisting Athletics in emergency management planning at the Carrier Dome, to matters related to international travel and study abroad to procuring various types of insurances to protect the University's assets.
Linda Egerbrecht
Some of the changes are based in part on the upcoming retirement of Linda Egerbrecht, manager of insurance and claims, in the Risk Management Department. Egerbrecht, who is retiring in February and has been with the University for 22 years, leads the workers' compensation program and manages the property and liability insurance program, among other work.
In her role with workers' compensation, Egerbrecht manages claims management and works with employees who sustained a work-related injury to ensure they are getting the appropriate treatment and assist them in transitioning back to work when they are medically able. The number of claims can range from between 250-300 a year.
"Customer service is primary. We have the philosophy that we want to treat our people with dignity and when questions do arise, they know we are going to treat them fairly and in accordance with the law," says Egerbrecht, who has been a longtime member of the New York Self Insurance Association, for which she was chair and vice chair at one time.
Egerbrecht has enjoyed her work helping people on their way to recovering. "When people have a medical issue, it's nice to be part of the healing process," she says.
Egerbrecht, who has two children with her husband, John, and five grandchildren, is looking forward to spending time with her family.
Pajak is appreciative of Egerbrecht's service to the University and her integrity, professionalism and hard work. "Linda is the best in the business," he says. "She is recognized as a leader in workers' compensation in New York State."
Egerbrecht also has a special rapport with the employees and supervisors she has worked with around campus. "They respect her and how she is always customer service-focused and fair," Pajak says. "She had to deal with a few catastrophic claims over the years and when those things happened, she was able to coordinate care, making sure they had wage replacement and enabling them to eventually come back to work."
Before Egerbrecht departs, Michaele DeHart will be promoted to associate director of risk and insurance. She will manage all property and casualty insurances, work with the General Counsel's Office in reviewing contracts, and assess risk.
A newly created second position of associate director of claims has been filled by Christopher Richmond to manage the newly hired third-party administrator, PMA Management Corporation, for workers' compensation among other duties. The third-party service will process and investigate internal claims effective Feb. 17.
"With Linda's retirement, Syracuse University, as a self-insured employer, wishes to leverage its resources to continue to focus on effectiveness and efficiency in its workers' compensation program administration," Pajak says. "Outsourcing workers' compensation claims leverages the University's resources by having claims processing and investigations done by experts who have the human capital, skill sets and information technology. The University will then be able to focus more on overall workers' compensation program management, regulatory changes, budgeting, safety prevention and service to employees who sustain an occupational injury."
In the area of Environmental Health and Safety Services, Brian O'Hara and Brian Tarolli have been promoted to supervisory positions under John Rossiter, manager of the Safety Services Office. O'Hara is now assistant safety manager, along with retaining his title of health and safety specialist, and Tarolli is the fire and life safety supervisor. The five inspectors will report directly to either O'Hara or Tarolli.
Also, Chad Ames, formerly hazardous waste technician, is now environmental compliance program coordinator, working under Becky Ponza, environmental compliance manager, and James McCumber, director of environmental health services. In the same area, Allison Piccioni, office assistant, has been promoted to office coordinator.
"Looking at our strategy demands and service we decided to reorganize and promote within," Pajak says. "These changes will not increase operational expenses and will allow for continuity of services and administrative efficiencies with our experienced, committed and knowledgeable staff members."

David "Dai" Davies (12 May 1880 – 23 June 1944) was a Welsh rugby union, professional rugby league and association footballer who played in the 1890s, 1900s and 1910s. He played club level rugby union (RU) for Llanelli RFC. He played representative level rugby league (RL) for Wales and Lancashire, and at club level for Swinton (two spells), and Leigh, and representative level association football for Wales, and at club level for Bolton Wanderers, as a goalkeeper. Dai Davies is the only person to have appeared in both the rugby league Challenge Cup Final and the association football FA Cup Final, and is one of the very few, perhaps the only, footballer to play for Wales at both international association football and international rugby league.

Background
Davies was born in Llanelli, Wales, and he died in Manchester, England.

Rugby union club career
Davies was part of the Llanelli team captained by Owen Badger that lost only once in 31 matches in the 1896–97 season; he scored a try in the win over Newport in February 1897 that was described by the Daily Chronicle as being for "the club championship of the United Kingdom".

Rugby league club career
The Swinton club secretary, J. W. Scholes, had gone to Llaneli to try to encourage the disenchanted Owen Badger to return to Swinton, while there, he saw Dai Davies play for Llaneli RFC, and contracts were signed on a Llanelli shop window. Davies received £20; £5 in advance, and a further £15 on arrival in Swinton. (based on increases in average earnings, this would be approximately £7,380 in 2013)

International honours
Davies won caps for Wales (association football) in 1904 against Scotland (1–1), and Ireland (0–1), and in 1908 against England (1–7) as a half-time substitute for the injured Stoke City goalkeeper Leigh Richmond Roose who was replaced until half-time by defender Charlie Morris. Roose had been injured in the fifteenth minute following a shoulder-charge by Vivian Woodward; Davies was attending the match as a spectator and at half time, with Wales four goals down, the Football Association officials and Woodward, the England captain, allowed Davies to play in goal for the remainder of the match.

He also won a cap for Wales (RL) while at Swinton in the 13–39 defeat by England at Coventry on 10 December 1910.

Challenge Cup final appearance
Davies played, and scored a try in Swinton's 16–8 victory over Salford in the 1900 Challenge Cup Final during the 1899–1900 season at Fallowfield Stadium, Manchester.

County Cup final appearance
Davies played, and was captain, in Swinton's 3–4 defeat by Oldham in the 1910 Lancashire County Cup Final during the 1910–11 season at Wheater's Field, Broughton, Salford on Saturday 3 December 1910.

Bolton Wanderers
Davies joined Bolton Wanderers of the Football League First Division in the summer of 1902, having only attended one Association Football match and never having handled an association ball. Davies was a "tough individual" and in a contemporaneous report it was claimed that he "excelled in the dangerous and difficult task of diving headlong at an incoming forward's feet and whisking the ball away as he curled up and rolled to safety". A later report said that "in his indifference to cuts and bruises he was characteristic of the age he was playing in". At the end of Davies' first season with the Burnden Park club, they were relegated to the Second Division.

A year later, in April 1904, Davies played in goal in Bolton's 0–1 defeat by Manchester City in the FA Cup Final at Crystal Palace, London. Despite being on the losing side, Davies "had a good match" and made a number of fine saves; he was only beaten once, by fellow Welsh international, Billy Meredith.

Bolton returned to the First Division in 1905 for three years, before spending 1908–09 back in the Second Division. In 1909, they again returned to the top flight as Second Division champions, but were again relegated in 1910; by then, however, Davies had brought his soccer career to an end, returning to Rugby League with Swinton in December 1909.

Family
Davies was the brother of the Swinton rugby league footballer, Daniel "Dan" Davies.

Outside of sport
Davies retired from rugby age 33, and served with his brother in "E" Company (known as the Swinton Pals) of the 2nd Salford battalion, the 16th Lancashire Fusiliers during World War I, spending time in a French hospital due to an illness unrelated to the fighting. Davies organised the sporting activities for the 'Swinton Pals' at their First World War training camp in North Wales. After the war Davies assisted Swinton Park ARLFC.

Honours
Swinton
Challenge Cup winners: 1900
Lancashire County Cup Finalist: 1911

Bolton Wanderers
FA Cup Finalists: 1904
Football League Second Division champions: 1908–09
Football League Second Division runners-up: 1904–05

Note
Dai Davies played at Swinton in the same era as, but he was not related to; David B. Davies.
