WW1 Letters and Diaries of Irish Ropes Industrialist Published by Grandson
THE First World War diaries of a leading Co. Kildare industrialist have been published by his grandson.
Eric Rigby-Jones founded his company, Irish Ropes, in the disused British cavalry barracks in Newbridge in 1933.Â
The company is credited with having revived the town's fortunes in the 1930s and would become its largest employer.
It became famous for its iconic brands, such as Red Setter binder twine and Tintawn carpets, which were originally made from sisal and were sold around the world.
Just fifteen years earlier, he has been invalided home from the Western Front having been badly gassed and buried alive twice by shellfire.
Now the extraordinary story of the 'boy'' captain turned respected industrialist is set to be told by his grandson, John, author of Best Love To All.
The Letter and Diaries of Captain Eric Rigby-Jones Military Cross and Bar and his Experiences as a Young Officer with the Liverpool Pals on the Western Front in 1917 and 1918.
"After my father died, I found my grandfather's letters and diaries in the old cigar box where they had always been kept,"" recalls John Rigby-Jones,
"Reading them helped me to connect with my grandfather, who died before I was born. He signed many of his letters 'best love to all'' – hence the title of the book.
It helped me understand what he was like in his youth. I'm told he never spoke of his experiences after the war and that in later life he could often appear remote.
"One particular account of being sent on what he thought was a suicide mission in March 1918 always makes me cry. I am just amazed that he managed to survive.
To have been through all that by the time he reached his 21 st birthday… I find it staggering."
Eric Rigby-Jones was just 16 years old when the war broke out. He later signed up to join the army and became a Second Lieutenant with the Liverpool Rifles in 1915,
which was a month before he turned 18. He was transferred to the Liverpool Pals when he arrived in France at the beginning of 1917 and, that April, went into battle with them for the first time at Arras.
Now a captain, he was the only officer in his battalion to fight throughout the six weeks of the German Spring Offensive in 1918, before being invalided home.
Eric was presented with the Military Cross and Bar for his bravery by the King at Buckingham Palace a week after his 21 st birthday.
John realised his grandfather's papers were worth sharing with a wider audience, and secured a book deal with Helion and Company Ltd – one of the world's largest military history publishers.
He has visited the battlefields where Eric Rigby-Jones fought and read battalion diaries as part of his painstaking research.
"Lord Derby's younger brother, Brigadier Stanley, was the commanding officer of the Pals. He wrote in an appendix to his history of the Liverpool Pals that only four of those who served with the Pals were awarded the Military Cross and Bar. I feel proud that my grandfather was one of those people; he was an exceptional man," says John, who plans to bequeath his grandfather's medals to the Museum of Liverpool.
Oxford graduate John, who retired in 2015 and lives in Surrey, is now writing a second book that explores what happened to his grandfather after the war.
"It's another extraordinary story that again deserves to be told,"" he says. "My grandfather was at the helm of Irish Ropes, which operated in neutral Ireland during the Second World War.
His obituary, printed in the Leinster Leader in 1952, celebrated a man who was known in his dealings with his workers to be a 'straightforward, firm, and generous employer; one who had their welfare and security at heart, and they at all times gave to him the co-operation and service he so fully deserved''."
Best Love To All was published this week and can be purchased at www.helion.co.uk and on Amazon.

A SITE SELECTION INVESTMENT PROFILE
Sustainability Is Accelerating Business In Michigan
It starts with a nation-leading commitment to go net-zero.
Over the next three years, Consumers Energy plans to help 200 fast charging locations — and over 2,000 chargers at homes and businesses — start powering electric vehicles across Michigan..

A lot of companies like to talk about their sustainability goals. Few are as aggressive at charting a course as Consumers Energy.
Michigan-based Consumers Energy is pioneering sustainability initiatives on behalf of both its natural gas and electric business. The company's nation-leading plans call for zero-methane emissions from its natural gas delivery system by 2030 and to achieve net zero carbon emissions, end coal use and dramatically increase clean energy resources by 2040 in its electric business.
Consumers Energy is doing all this through comprehensive action plans that support the electric vehicle movement, electrification, energy conservation, renewable natural gas and wide-scale adoption of solar and wind power.
Just as Consumers Energy is transforming its business to become more sustainable for future generations, Michigan's largest utility is supporting businesses to do the same.
Energy experts work with companies to understand their goals, operations and long-term plans to create integrated solutions that balance operational efficiencies with clean, renewable energy. Meanwhile, the diverse portfolio of customer programs can improve business' operations by reducing energy waste, optimizing energy rates and meeting sustainability goals through a variety of renewable energy options. This no-holds-barred approach to sustainability is touching almost every corner of Michigan, from international Fortune 500 companies to local hometown breweries.
Powering the Automotive Sustainability Journey
The longstanding partnership between Consumers Energy and General Motors showcases what is possible when two industry leaders work together to take a stand for our planet. For over 20 years the two organizations have been tackling energy waste at facilities and have optimized the electric grid by supporting Demand Response programs. Now the two are working together to help suppliers of America's largest auto manufacturer do the same.
Through GM's Supplier Energy Symposium, suppliers and partner organizations like Consumers Energy have strengthened relationships, deepened collaboration efforts and increased energy efficiency projects across GM's value chain. Each organization is sharing insight into energy management strategies and best practices to support others in their sustainability journeys.
Moving beyond efficiency, Consumers Energy and GM are partnering to accelerate the development of renewable energy resources in Michigan and advance electric vehicle (EV) technology, policy and customer programs across the nation. In September 2020, Consumers Energy announced joining a first-of-its-kind pledge to make interstate travel easier for EV owners by 2022.
A coalition of energy providers including Consumers Energy will facilitate construction of a vast network of fast charging stations across the Midwest from Michigan to the Colorado border, making it possible for EV owners to drive longer distances without worrying about their next charge. This initiative dovetails with GM's all-electric future and its commitment to 30 new global electric vehicles by 2025. All roads lead to thinking differently and bringing creative solutions to make a meaningful impact toward building a zero-emissions future.
Brewing Up Energy Star Success
From global to local, customized collaboration remains the same. Perhaps nowhere is it more evident than in the Michigan town of Comstock, where Bell's Brewery is setting a new standard in energy efficiency.
Bell's utilizes an Energy Concierge Service offered by Consumers Energy, where a dedicated energy engineer supports their sustainability goals by identifying energy efficiency projects, building business cases and leading projects from start to finish. Through a series of energy efficiency improvements enacted over the past two years, Bell's received the U.S. EPA Energy Star Challenge award for the company's sustainability efforts.

Since 2019, the largest independent craft brewery in Michigan has reduced its energy per barrel packaged by 10.35%. Bell's shipped almost 500,000 barrels of beer in 2019. The Energy Star Challenge for Industry is a worldwide call to action for industrial end-users to reduce their energy intensity by 10% within
five years. Over the last few years, the two companies have also partnered to help Bell's significantly save energy costs.
"Being good stewards of our environment has always been a priority," said Larry Bell, president and founder of Bell's. "Sure, we save money. That's good business. More importantly, we're helping to secure and protect our environment for generations to come."
The brewery partnered with Consumers Energy to make these upgrades at the main brewery operation in West Michigan. "We love working with customers like Bell's who share our vision that reducing their carbon footprint and using energy more efficiently are important aspects of a cleaner energy future," said Lauren Youngdahl Snyder, Consumers Energy's vice president of customer experience. "Our energy efficiency programs have helped customers save over $3 billion on their bills in the last decade."
Building Sustainable Michigan Communities
Part of making Michigan more sustainable involves the continued focus of Consumers Energy and others to make its communities a go-to destination. On that scorecard, Consumers Energy partners with Traverse Connect to make sure Michigan remains a preferred destination for remote workers and employers who want to diversify the location of their operations.
"We are already on the map from a quality-of-life standpoint, but we want to make sure people understand they can live here and work here year-round," says Warren Call, president and CEO of Traverse Connect in Traverse City, Michigan. "We are on the top 10 lists for Best Small Towns in America and Best Places to Visit. But we want folks to know we are way more than a beach town. We have cultural amenities like an opera house, and we are building out our talent recruitment efforts to get the word out."
Hence, the creation and launch of Michigan's Creative Coast and corresponding website, www.michiganscreativecoast.com. "Our community partners worked with us to build a comprehensive site that incorporates every aspect of our entrepreneurial ecosystem and highlights the many fantastic careers and industries available right here on the shores of Traverse Bay," says Call. "People have moved here from the West Coast. We had over 1,000 views of our job board in just February alone. We partnered with Michigan Economic Development Corp. and Consumers Energy to create this, and it is already paying huge dividends for our region."
Call adds, "Talent today wants the complete package. They want to know there is a cultural depth to a place. That is a big part of our place-making. And this year, we are going even deeper into entrepreneurial attraction. Our message to them is simple: You can do your work from anywhere and hire from anywhere. Why not do it here?"
From a chilled craft beer to endless adventures, the fresh coast of the Great Lakes State is filled with pure Michigan opportunities.

Oahu is home to some of the most impressive marine life in Hawaii. This exciting Oahu snorkeling tour will give you a chance to dive into the crisp blue water for a glimpse at Hawaii's turtles, fish, and other aquatic critters. You'll also enjoy snacks, beverages, and unbelievable views of the island. Climb aboard to start your nautical adventure in paradise.
Your Oahu tour cruises along the Waikiki coast. Located on Oahu's south shore, the beachfront neighborhood of Waikiki is home to the famous beach of the same name; the white sandy shoreline is one of the island's biggest draws, and you'll see surfers and paddle boarders make the most of its awesome waves. If you take this Oahu snorkeling cruise between December and April, you might even see a few whales as the rise to the surface to breathe. After cruising for a bit and taking in the island views, you will eventually reach Turtle Canyon.
Turtle Canyon is the ultimate dive spot for getting up close to these cute creatures. Everywhere you look, you'll find turtles resting and swimming about; they tend to congregate on lava ledges and around pukas (holes). Don't worry about getting too close; the turtles are used to the attention and won't mind if you take a photo with your underwater camera. Before diving, you will be provided with top-of-the-line snorkel gear, including safety vests and masks.
Unlimited non-alcoholic beverages and snacks, such as chips and mixed nuts, are included.
Guests must be able to swim, as snorkeling is from the boat. Guests must be able to pull themselves from the water via the boat's ladder.
I had different expectations from this trip. We did see turtles, but I was thinking that there would be a lot of them. I think I saw 6 all together. It was very cool and the guides were great. They even took our cameras all the way under the water to take photos for us.

Unlikely Objects: Products of a Counterfactual History of Science
Scientific knowledge has played a key role in shaping our material world, and especially with regard to genetics, our social, political and spiritual lives also.
But how dependant is scientific knowledge on historical accident and chance? Could we have a different, and not necessarily less valid, version of scientific truth if history had played out slightly differently – if certain observations had been made or missed, if individual scientists had been more or less successful, if different accidents had occurred? Or, does the scientific method act to eliminate the effects of historical chance, and our present state of knowledge is somehow necessarily true?
Unlikely Objects explores these questions through a 'Choose Your Own' history of genetics, and the presentation of some more, or less, likely objects from imagined alternative histories of genetics.

Choose Your Own… History of Biology
The book accompanying the project takes the form of a Choose Your Own Adventure, allowing YOU the reader to determine the course of biological science. Well that was the idea, but re-writing the history of science proved somewhat more difficult than I first anticipated! More research and writing from the book is available at…www.superseded.org.
The book is illustrated by Nelly Ben Hayoun, with graphic design by Jacob Robinson.

Evolutionary Mythologies
The Darwinian revolution never happened, and the focus of biological research, rather than genetics, has been the hormones that control the development of form.
In a present where no Darwinian revolution took place, the idea that medical science can and should intervene to direct human evolution wasn't sullied by the horrors of eugenics and genocide.
However, as with all facets of human life, there is some disagreement as to which direction this should be. Certain families have nurtured the belief that the ultimate goal of humanity should be a 'return to' an angelic form. Children in these families have their upwards growth arrested to minimise weight, and through judicious injection of hormones that control bone growth, have their arm span greatly increased, and their upper body strength greatly enhanced. The elongated arms provide points for the surgical grafting of attachment points for artificial feathers.

Responsiveness Tester
Under the current biological paradigm, known as the Modern Synthesis, the actions you take in your lifetime cannot change the genes you pass on to your offspring. The dogma has been that information flows from the genes to the body, but never from the body to genes.
However, evidence is mounting that about ten percent of people have a highly 'flexible' genome, where certain traits they've acquired in life are passed to their children, through epigenetic mechanisms. These traits are overwhelmingly to do with personality and sociability, and are highly dependant on the environment in which the parent grows up.
In an alternative present where the dogma of the Modern Synthesis hadn't caused researchers to ignore epigenetic effects, society embraces the idea that some people have genes that are effected by the environment, and that these altered genes will be passed on to their children.
The state therefore tests the population to determine if someone is of 'the responsive type', because the environment in which 'a responder' grows up has consequences for society: A nurturing environment and they grow to be highly social individuals, beneficial to society, but a bad environment and they overwhelmingly become criminals. Furthermore, the effects of this environment are passed down to their offspring as well.
Therefore the resources of the state are directed towards the responders, with special, well funded schooling, to maximise the positive impact responders will have later in life. A form of 'intergenerational responsibility' is also implemented, with parents of responders held partly responsible, and liable to serve a part of any jail sentence, if their offspring grows up to commit serious crime.
The Responsiveness Tester is employed nationwide to determine at 18 months, if a child is a responder. It gives them a mild fright, and gauges their responsiveness, by taking a sample of their saliva from the dummy, and measuring the levels of the stress hormone cortisol it contains.

Keywords: Hand hygiene, hygiene compliance, context-awareness.
It is estimated that more than 8,000 patients die each year in Canada as a result of infections acquired in hospitals. Published studies have generally found that the compliance with hand hygiene requirements by healthcare workers averages about 40% and that various educational and management interventions can only push this up to about 50% or 60%.
Fortunately, recent advances in technology have given us new options to enhance hygiene compliance. Engineers now have the ability to create context-aware "smart" devices which could use sensing and intelligent processing to help control the spread of infection - Yet it is rare for researchers to be able to observe and research such technology in situ, especially in the critical healthcare environment. Most published research takes place in isolated lab environments not conducive to the study of real-world impact. Fortunately Toronto boasts a strong network of teaching hospitals, with resources and expertise that can enable this type of research to take place. Implementing an intelligent context-aware system in a hospital setting entails many important issues that need to be explored, with insights that may be generalized to other environments.
This project aims to reduce the spread of infectious diseases with a focus on communication and information intelligence, providing an opportunity to contribute to areas including: decision making under uncertainty, privacy and social issues, cognitive modeling, epidemiology, interface design, and pervasive computing methodology.

COVID/Health Government September 28, 2021 Maryam Shahzad
Council Bill Would Require All County Employees to be Fully COVID-19 Vaccinated
Councilmembers Hans Riemer and Will Jawando, who are lead sponsors of the bill.
Montgomery County Councilmembers Hans Riemer and Will Jawando introduced a bill that would require all county employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or face losing employment, with exemptions for medical reasons.
The bill would require employees to show proof of vaccination or apply for a medical accommodation within seven days after being notified by the county, Christine Wellons, legislative attorney for the council, explained during a virtual council meeting Tuesday. Employees who fail to comply would be placed on unpaid leave for seven days and given another opportunity to show they have received at least one dose of the vaccine or applied for medical exemption. Employees placed on unpaid leave must show proof of full vaccination within 40 days of placement on leave, per a council document.
Those who fail to comply with all the provisions would ultimately be dismissed from employment, Wellons said.
If an application for medical exemption is denied by the Office of Human Resources, the employee must show proof of at least one vaccine dose within seven days of the denial, according to the proposed act. They must show proof of full vaccination within 40 days after the application was rejected.
"It's not easy," Riemer said, "But our employees need us to stand up for them right now. And there are many of our employees who are going to work everyday and they know that they are side-by-side with somebody who is refusing to take the vaccinations."
"We have let the Executive take his course of action with a testing requirement. And unfortunately we are not seeing good results," Riemer said. As of Tuesday, 77% of county employees are at least partially vaccinated, according to the county's COVID-19 data dashboard. 6% have reported being unvaccinated and 17% have not reported their status.
Currently, county employees who are not fully vaccinated are required to provide weekly proof of a negative COVID-19 test, as County Executive Marc Elrich announced in late August. In a statement ahead of the bill's introduction, Elrich said it would "upend the collaborative approach" developed with employees.
"The recently proposed legislation to mandate vaccinations or be terminated is unneeded," Elrich said. He said it is not smart policy and will result in staffing shortages, decreased public safety, more taxpayer costs and legal entanglements.
"Making threats and resorting to a "get a vaccine or else you're fired in 40 days" policy is not the right approach considering the progress we have made in Montgomery County." Elrich said the county should continue its current efforts.
Jawando noted low vaccination rates among County Fire and Rescue Service (MCFRS) personnel. About 63% have received at least one dose and 32.6% have not reported their status. 4.55% said they are not vaccinated. Jawando thinks residents would be surprised to hear some recent numbers.
"They shouldn't have to question whether the one that responds and risks their life to come save their life, is potentially exposing them to COVID[-19]," he said.
Council Vice President Gabe Albornoz supports the bill.
"I believe it's our responsibility as legislators, and the County Executive's as well, to protect the health of our entire community, all of our county employees and not the very small percentage – through some combination of fear, stubbornness, misinformation, political ideology or maybe just plain laziness – have not yet decided to sign up for a vaccination whose efficacy is absolutely unquestioned at this point."
He said the vaccine is saving lives and protecting residents like his children, three of whom are not yet eligible for the shot. Albornoz said the least the county can do is ensure public officials and public servants are following the science of what is necessary to keep the community safe.
"I get very frustrated and I just had it at this point with people who are holding out for God knows what reason," he said.
The mandate would be exempt from collective bargaining so all employees must comply, per a release from the council. A public hearing is scheduled for Oct. 19 at 1:30 p.m.
The bill is expedited, so it will take effect the day it becomes law.

Chintan Veet's own life journey gave him a first-hand experience of the profound self-healing capacity of the body. It was the beginning of a long exploration into the field of healing arts. In 1992 he started his formal training in bodywork. Very quickly he became an accomplished practitioner and teacher of Rebalancing®, a form of deep tissue bodywork. This solid understanding of the human structure, and a continued interest and fascination with the mystery of the human form led him to craniosacral therapy. This new modality brought a different understanding and wider dimension to his work.
Karima Valentina Hočevar has been involved in a deep exploration of the human nature in its various aspects for many years. This long journey through the physical, mental, energetic and spiritual realm has led her to understand that an integration of all these different levels of being is the key to a deeper harmony, peace, happiness, joy and inner freedom.
Karima's work with people is based on this understanding. Through a session or group framework, people have an opportunity to explore and uncover what stands in their way to a deeper level of integration and wholeness. It supports people to uncover their deepest potential in life. It is an inner journey back home.
Karima's original profession is Human Resource Management. She is a certified practitioner in Craniosacral Resonance, SE (Somatic Experiencing), NARM (Neuro Affective Relational Model), LLI (Learning Love Institute- Co-dependency therapy) and ISP (integral Somatic Psychotherapy). She also graduated from the Shakti Dance School and has done many other Psychosomatic seminars that involve a deep exploration of one's own being.
She lives in Ljubljana with her husband Gregor Hočevar (RAN.SI), two teenagers – son Jakob, daughter Maruša, and dogs Odi and Ina.
She offers sessions in the different modalities mentioned above in person as well as over Skype. She leads a Meditation Circle, Somatic Constellations and she also offers various seminars and educational programmes in Slovenia and China. She is a co-teacher in Craniosacral Resonance and an assistant on a two-year NARM training in Cologne and London.
Komala Lyra As an explorer of the inner world, Komala brings over 30 year's experience as a a healer, dancer, artist, and writer, offering retreats and educational programs internationally, integrating Western and Eastern backgrounds.
She lived at the osho community in India and America where she transformed through meditation and Conscious Free love.
She shares the art of Ayurveda Yoga Tantra as one path, and merges the richness of her own life with refined skills.
Grounded in meditative awareness and self-responsibility, her presentations sparks deep insights, intuition, joy, creativity, silence, clear communication, and laughter!

Q: text flowing in concatenated divs I think what I am going to ask here is really a big challenge! I could not even guess a way where to start to make some experiments...
Basically what I want to do is a very simple thing that is possible to do in all the applications like MS Word, OOo Writer, InDesign, etc: I need 3 empty text areas (div) connected to each other so that the exceeding text of the first div will go to fill the second div and so on to the 3rd div.
Here a graphic example of what I mean:

As you see, the text start in the DIV#1, but is longer than what the DIV#1 can handle, so it goes automatically at the beginning of the DIV#2, and so on.
The main problem is that I don't know how long is the text, so is possible that I have a few words or a full page, and the text need to be formatted this way because actually the text in the div is not like an article but a lot of small rows of data.
The second main problem is that the page has to be printed so it has to be only in one single page, and is just a small part of a big form. I can't make a very tall single column or it will print a second page.
Is there any way to make that possible with HTML/CSS?
EDIT: This is the code that I have since now, what I ask is if there is a way in CSS to make the exceeding text in the first div to go in the second and third div, like the graphic example above.

I understand that with CSS3 is possible but not yet widely used so it will not be good to use it for usability reason.

A: What it would appear you are asking for is not yet available in most browsers and is referred to as CSS Regions
An alternative which is slightly better supported is CSS Columns

A: Transfer overflow from one div to another
Continuing overflowed text in a different div?
Wish I could of just put this in a comment, but here are two people after the same thing and a few solutions for this, all JS based.

A: You could try Multiple Columns (css) but browser support is limited:

Man, sittin at the table yesterday late noon and this place was rockin and rollin, we are probably 150-200 miles from epicenter and it was the longest duration quake I've felt. We were playin cards after a wonderful Easter meal and if it was that strong here I can't imagine what it was like at the center. Oh well thats CA 4 U exciting place to live.


Great question! You can insert a divider onto your template and then click on 'Options' then 'Settings'. You'll want to select the white box with the red diagonal line to remove the color formatting, which will create an invisible break on your campaign. Hope this helps!

Der Glemsgau (auch "Glemisgowe") in Baden-Württemberg zählt zu den um 750 vom karolingischen Hausmeier Karlmann eingeführten Gaugrafschaften, die in der Regel nach Flüssen, hier der Glems, benannt wurden. Der Herrschaftsbezirk des Glemsgaus ignoriert die fränkisch-alemannische "Demarkationslinie" weitgehend und ist nahezu deckungsgleich mit der überlieferten Kernzone des fruchtbaren Strohgäus.

Historische Geographie
Der Glemsgau liegt beiderseits der 496 festgelegten fränkisch-alemannischen Mark, die von der Hornisgrinde kommend bei Maichingen nach Nordosten verschwenkte und etwa ab dem "Glemseck" oberhalb Eltingens der Glems nach Norden folgte, südlich von Markgröningen wieder nach Osten verschwenkte und südlich am Asperg vorbei zum Lemberg führte. Diese Grenzlinie schied denn auch die Bistümer Speyer und Konstanz, was sich im links und rechts der Glems gelegenen Ditzingen besonders niederschlug: Bis heute gibt es hier eine Speyrer und eine Konstanzer Kirche. Die kirchliche Zweiteilung des Glemsgaus durch die ehemalige fränkische Grenze zeigt die Karte des Landkapitels von Grüningen (heute Markgröningen). Im Gegensatz zur älteren kirchlichen Raumordnung ignorierte die unter Karlmann eingeführte politische Bezirksaufteilung in Gaugrafschaften offenbar die überkommene "Demarkationslinie".

Der Glemsgau grenzt im Osten und Südosten an den Neckargau, im Südwesten und Westen an den Würmgau und im Nordwesten an den Enzgau. Eine Sonderstellung nahm am Nordrand das ausgemarkte Königsgut und spätere Reichslehen Grüningen ein, das keiner dieser Gaugrafschaften zugeordnet und dem Träger der Reichssturmfahne vorbehalten war. Im 11. Jahrhundert (bis 1121) war es allerdings zusammen mit dem Neckargau an die Grafen Werner "von Grüningen" vergeben.

Glemsgau-Orte
Aus frühmittelalterlichen Quellen lassen sich folgende Siedlungen dem Glemsgau zuweisen:
 Stammheim, Zuffenhausen, Zazenhausen, Viesenhausen, Feuerbach, Botnang und Weilimdorf, die heute zum Stadtkreis Stuttgart gehören;
 Warmbronn, Eltingen, Rutesheim, Gebersheim, Höfingen und die abgegangenen Orte Dulcheshausen und Beisheim bei Leonberg, die heute zum Landkreis Böblingen gehören;
 Heimerdingen, Hirschlanden, Schöckingen, Ditzingen, Gerlingen, Hemmingen, Münchingen, Vöhingen, Möglingen, Pflugfelden und Kornwestheim, die heute zum Landkreis Ludwigsburg gehören;
 Schwieberdingen dürfte ebenfalls von Anfang an hinzugezählt haben, lässt sich jedoch erst fürs 13. Jahrhundert als Glemsgau-Ort belegen.

Für die in der nördlichen Ostausbuchtung des Grüninger Landkapitels gelegenen Orte Tamm, Brachheim (Wüstung), Eglosheim und Asperg lassen sich, wie schon Stälin feststellte, keine Quellen für eine Zugehörigkeit zum Glemsgau finden. Nach Norden scheint die alte Grenze also aufgegriffen worden zu sein. Asperg wurde erst im 13. Jahrhundert als Sitz der Grafen von Asperg-Tübingen einbezogen. Das 1248 von Graf Ulrich I. von Württemberg gegründete Leonberg zählte nicht hinzu.

Auflösung der Gaugrafschaft
Nachdem Graf Ulrich II. von Asperg-Tübingen seine Anteile am Glemsgau 1308 an Graf Eberhard I. von Württemberg verkauft hatte, ging der Glemsgau in der Grafschaft Württemberg auf, spielte als politischer Territorialbegriff keine Rolle mehr und wurde fortan lediglich als Bezeichnung für den Landstrich genutzt. So nutzte ihn das Dorf "Wyl im Glemsgawe" noch lange als Cognomen, um sich von anderen Kommunen gleichen Namens (wie Weil im Schönbuch oder Weil der Stadt) zu differenzieren, und erinnert mit der "Glemsgaustraße" daran. Letztlich setzte sich aber "Weil dem Dorf" bzw. "Weilimdorf" durch. Dementsprechend hatte sich in der Region das synonym verwendete "Strohgäu" als Bezeichnung für den Landstrich durchgesetzt. Tatsächlich stimmt der ehemalige Herrschaftsbezirk des Glemsgaus nahezu mit der Kernzone der überlieferten Kulturlandschaft des Strohgäus überein, das aus physisch-geographischer Sicht allerdings etwas weiter gefasst und zum Naturraum Neckarbecken gezählt wird.

Unter württembergischer Herrschaft wurden die Glemsgau-Orte überwiegend zwischen den beiden Amtstädten Grüningen und Leonberg aufgeteilt. Die Gemeinden im Südosten kamen zu Stuttgart und Cannstatt. Kirchlich blieben die zum Bistum Speyer zählenden Orte einschließlich Leonbergs bis zur Reformation dem Landkapitel Grüningen des Archidiakonats Trinitatis unterstellt. Die östlich der fränkisch-alemannischen Mark gelegenen Orte gehörten zum Landkapitel Cannstatt. Beide Landkapitel lagen im 13. Jahrhundert in den Händen der Grafen von Grüningen: Ludwig von Grüningen, Sohn von Graf Hartmann II. von Grüningen und Domherr zu Augsburg, war Kirchherr von Grüningen und Cannstatt und damit Dekan für alle Kirchen im Glemsgau.

Gaugrafen

Grafen des Glemsgaus waren:
 Lantbolt (769 bis 777 erwähnt)
 Gerold, Schwager Karls des Großen (794 erwähnt)
 Gunthart (797 erwähnt)
 Liubolt (880 erwähnt)
 Gozbert (902 erwähnt)
 Grafen von Ingersheim bzw. Calw (bis 1131)
 Markgraf Welf VI. und sein Sohn Welf VII. vom Geschlecht der Welfen (1131 bis 1180)
 Pfalzgrafen von Tübingen (ab 1180)
 Graf Ulrich II. von Asperg-Tübingen (bis 1308 letzter Glemsgau-Graf)

Il Premio Carlo Magno (in tedesco: Karlspreis, diminutivo di Internationaler Karlspreis der Stadt Aachen, "Premio internazionale Carlo Magno della città di Aquisgrana" e dal 1988 Internationaler Karlspreis zu Aachen, Premio internazionale Carlo Magno di Aquisgrana) è un premio annuale conferito dalla città tedesca di Aquisgrana (in tedesco: Aachen) a personalità con meriti particolari in favore dell'integrazione e unione in Europa.

Insieme all'attestato viene consegnata una medaglia raffigurante l'immagine di Carlo Magno sul trono, immagine tratta dal più antico sigillo della città. La parte conclusiva della cerimonia, che prevede anche il conferimento di un premio simbolico pari a , consiste nel discorso tenuto dal vincitore del premio.

Il premio è intitolato a Carlo Magno considerato il primo fautore dell'Europa unita in quanto, scegliendo Aquisgrana come sua residenza preferita, intese porre una sorta di ponte tra il passato e il futuro dell'Europa.

Storia
Tradizionalmente il conferimento del premio ha luogo il giorno dell'Ascensione nella sala delle incoronazioni del municipio di Aquisgrana. La scelta del vincitore/vincitrice spetta al Consiglio di amministrazione della "fondazione internazionale Premio Carlo Magno ad Aachen", che riunisce il sindaco della città di Aquisgrana, e personalità aventi incarico pubblico e mandato.

A Natale 1949 un gruppo di cittadini di Aquisgrana fondò, su iniziativa del Dr. Kurt Pfeiffer, la "fondazione internazionale Carlo Magno di Aachen" e chiarì che il premio dovesse essere annualmente «conferito a personalità il cui pensiero, di comune accordo, sia stato di riferimento in ambito politico, economico e spirituale».
